Update : October 29 , 2010 now the backlight do not work at all . I think it be not light up because the battery might be low . nope , new battery in and no light . fail . one star , look elsewhere . now it be too late to order one for my upcoming trip . +946 AlarmClock POS 5 I have always have problem wake up to alarm clock ... I be a extremely deep sleeper . I use my IPhone , iPad , I pod , cell phone , and two other alarm clock . this be a outstanding product ! it wake I up just like I be hope it would . it be extremely loud and even have a vibrate attachment . Fair warning : I would not recommend put it under you pillow like some people do because it get very hot . I put the vibration attaachman on the nightstand and it work remarkably . it make a even louder noise . FINALLY SOMETHING that work ! +8 AlarmClock NEG 2 when I find this while search for a alarm clock I be really impressed . a attractive look lcd picture frame with mp3 & alarm clock for less then many regular clock , what a deal ! when I open it I be much less impressed . First off , even though I use a ruler to try to visualize the size of a 3.5 '' screen , once I open the package and place it on my nightstand it just look tiny . then I try to use and within 10 minute I decide to return it . as a picture frame that you would put on you desk at work , maybe it be not too bad . even though the screen be small , in just picture mode it be not terrible . the screen be clear & bright , and the resolution be pretty good for what it be . but as a alarm clock it be terrible . you have 3 mode to display the time : a rendering of a analog clock -lrb- that only use 1\/2 of the screen so it be microscopic -rrb- , a full month calendar mode , and a clock\/date readout with a thumbnail photo . to look at the picture show in the Amazon description they all look pretty good -lrb- magnify on my 22 '' computer monitor -rrb- . but in reality , on such a small screen you need magnify glass to read the time in any mode . then I try to set the alarm . you have to go through 2 sub-menu and scroll down through 10 different option to set it . and push the completely non-intuitive button require quite a bit of force and they make a rather loud -lrb- low quality -rrb- click sound that will wake the kid in the next room . for instance , if you want to change the time from 6:30 to 7:15 literally take a few a minute because you have to hit the button like 30 time to get into the menu and scroll down to where you set it , then once for the hour and 45 time to change the minute -lrb- hold the button down do not let you scroll through the number -rrb- . in addition , it also display the indoor temperature and even though I let it sit on the nightstand for several hour it always read 10 degree higher then the actual temperature . to sum it up : as a cheap digital frame ; good as a alarm clock ; Bad +61 AlarmClock POS 5 Works fine for I . no problem so far . now I can sleep at ease know I wont be late for work since I have a different clock in time each day of the week . +718 AlarmClock NEG 1 my wife purchase this alarm clock for I for Christmas 2007 . it be the second piece of Coby electronic equipment that I have own . my experience be that Coby build extremely cheap -lrb- meaning , poor quality -rrb- product . my complaint with this product be : 1 -rrb- the product do not keep accurate time -lrb- gain about 7-8 minute per month - most likely a electronics design flaw that recur in each of these alarm clock -rrb- . 2 -rrb- the product `` hum '' through the speaker -lrb- a short in the internal electronics due to poor circuit board design - also a design flaw that probably recur in each of these alarm clock -rrb- . interestingly , when the product be power ON , like when the user want to listen to a cd but have not yet hit the play button , the hum quit . BUT , if the unit be leave ON accidentally , the alarm do NOT work . I know . I power the unit on to get the annoying hum to stop and be late to work the next day because the alarm never sound . 3 -rrb- CD door be overly difficult to open and close -lrb- a coefficient of friction design flaw that be also recur , probably -rrb- . 4 -rrb- the lead display be overly bright and no dimmer switch be feature -lrb- yet another design flaw -rrb- . 5 -rrb- all plastic part be extremely cheap . White plastic cabinet part be not the same color of white -lrb- do not match -rrb- . silver paint on button will obviously soon wear off , etc. . while this alarm clock have all of the feature that I be look for in a alarm clock -lrb- except for the dimmer switch -rrb- , the aforementioned list of design flaw force I to return the product as defective . bottom line : very cheaply build ! +9 AlarmClock POS 5 very nice replica of Vader but would have be better if it include he cape . when compare to the Stormtrooper , the lack of contrast on the Vader face be a minus factor . unable to capture vader face if you be to take a picture of it , unlike the Stormtrooper . +79 AlarmClock POS 5 simple and to the point ALARM CLOCK . after return a too complicated alarm clock `` gadget '' from Oregon Scientific , this clock be what I be look for . it work like a charm this morning -lrb- 3\/11\/07 -rrb- change to DST . get it , plug it in and forget it ! and for a unbeatable price to boot ! Wish it have the weekday\/weekend alarm option , but still a great ALARM clock . +441 AlarmClock POS 5 what a great little alarm clock . it be ashamed that it be not make any longer -- what a disappointment to many . we feel lucky we snag this little guy here at a decent price . so tiny but loud alarm . Great for ultralight . +881 AlarmClock NEG 1 well the radio work fine , and the clock seem to work . the cd player would not work at all . yea i set the alarm to wake up to a cd and the alarm turn the radio on but the cd never play . and no it be not a burn cd . it be a original . +515 AlarmClock POS 5 we need a small clock by we employee sign-in book . this travel clock fit the bill . it keep perfect time . +592 AlarmClock NEU 3 I get this Coby 3.5-Inch Digital Photo Frame with Alarm clock dp356blk on the surface it look like a great buy because , for such a inexpensive item , it pack a lot of attractive function . namely , it can be use as : - Digital photo frame with a 3.5 '' panel at 320x240 resolution - alarm clock with digital and analog display - mp3 player upon testing this unit , however , I start to see some of its problem : - the setup process be rather clunky and at time counter-intuitive . for example , you often need to press LEFT\/RIGHT button for the menu to move up\/down - to perform any simple task often require push button dozen of time . for example , just to change the music volume you need to first go up to to-level menu , then go down to ` setting '' , and then `` System setup '' , follow by another dozen of key press to finally arrive at `` volume '' - the unit have no internal battery . that mean it must remain plug in and can not be pass around like other photo frame . fortunately , the clock and internal setting be not lose when I unplug the unit -lrb- otherwise I would go crazy if I need to reset the clock every time -rrb- - it have no internal memory for photo . that mean you have to insert a sd\/sdhc card -lrb- which stick out like a sore thumb from the back -rrb- - if you have both photo file and music file on the sd card , it automatically play the music file while in slideshow mode . the only way around it be to set the music volume to ' 0 ' . - the 3.5 '' display be really too small for use as a photo frame , as it be just 1\/4 the area of a print 4x6 photo . even when use as a alarm clock , the number can hardly be see from across the room . the most serious problem with this photo frame be that : in slideshow mode , it do NOT sort photo file accord to either file name or file date . so the photo show be all jumble up , with no apparent order . after much experimentation , I finally figure out that the unit simply show file in the order they be write to the directory . so the solution be to make sure that file be write to the sd card either in alphabetical order , or accord to file date . this be obviously a very tedious process if I have to do that manually for hundred of file . fortunately , I be able to find a free utility call `` fatsorter 1.04 '' , which can automatically sort all file entry in directory into alphabetical order . after do that , the unit finally can show photo in the correct sequence . I decide to keep this unit despite of all its problem , mostly because I have invest so much time in get it to work . also the low cost make it hardly worth the trouble of return it . but right after this lesson , I order the pandigital panimage pi8004w01b +434 AlarmClock POS 4 for a small clock , the digital readout be large and easy to read . it work just as promise . I put in the battery , turn the switch to on , and set it aside . it find the correct time in under five minute . it automatically set to Pacific time , so I do have to change it to my time zone , which be easy to figure out . I use it as my bedside clock , and my one concern be that it be so lightweight , it would be very easy to knock it over when fumble around for the light in the middle of the night . +216 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock should be own by every college-bound student . just think of how many class I would not have sleep through if I have this clock back then ! as other have say , the ability to set a alarm for different times\/days throughout the week be what make this alarm clock stand-out . we have use we clock for over a year with no problem . address some concern from other review , I be a very light-sensitive sleeper and have never notice the brightness of the lcd to be a issue . the radio tuner sound on par with other clock radio that I have own so this have not be a issue with I either . the clock be design differently then most standard alarm clock , so it do take read the direction once through to learn about all of the feature and how to set the time , etc. . but , once you learn how to use the control dial , it be really a simple , straight-forward design that be easy to use . I have buy and give several of these as gift to friend who be head to graduate school . +660 AlarmClock NEG 2 observation : this timex-licensed product consist of a independent analog clock and a AM\/FM clock radio with a digital display that show either the time or the tuner 's frequency . note that this be only a digital tuner display -- not a digital tuner . when the clock be plug in -lrb- via the include power adapter -rrb- , the analog clock face and digital display be light all the time . there be two brightness setting . when run on battery power , all light be off , though you can get a brief pulse of light by hit the snooze bar . there be tiny luminescent bar on the analog clock 's hand . pro : it have decent sound for a cheap clock radio -lrb- do not expect any bass -rrb- and decent fm reception . it be not exactly lightweight , but it do work on battery . it be probably well-suited for car camping . the amber clock lighting -lrb- on all the time when the unit be plug in -rrb- be okay . the digital frequency readout be a improvement over you typical cheap analog tuner . con : there be a number of user interface problem . for example , oft-used switch such as radio off\/on be hide on the side , while seldom-used button like `` time set '' be prominent . it be annoy to have to synchronize the separate analog and digital clock . there be no clock lighting in battery mode , except briefly when you hit the `` snooze '' bar , BUT : if the sleep timer be on , hit the bar will also cancel sleep mode and turn off the radio or nature sound . when run on battery , there be no way to light the clock without cause this undesirable side-effect . the radio frequency display be helpful , but there be no digital time readout when the radio be on . I find that the frequency display jitter a lot on most radio station -lrb- e.g. when tune to 102.5 , it jump around from 102.3 up to 102.8 and everything inbetween -rrb- . the audio sound fine , so this be only a visual annoyance . the tuning dial be very sensitive , require a fair amount of concentration and fine motor control to tune in a specific frequency . overall , the tuner be better than cheap analog but worse than cheap digital . one last thing : the clock face fold down for travel . in this position , it muffle the radio speaker . in the open position , the angle of the clock face be not adjustible -lrb- see the photo - that be as vertical as it get -rrb- . bottom line : I be return it . it more or less do the job , but the design lack intelligence . there must be something better out there . +707 AlarmClock POS 5 I love that I can listen to different sound to fall asleep and that I can adjust the alarm volume . it look good as well . +951 AlarmClock NEU 3 I be excite when I see this item as it be what I be look for in a raido . it look good and I like the fact that it have present radio station . I want a small radio for my kitchen to listen to music , npr and sport . for I , the sound be not as important as the reception . I be disppointed in the reception . it do not pickp-up several small local FM station even though I have the correct number dial in . otherwise it do sound fine for the station that it do receive and my wife like the look of it . I be take it back and plan to spend more money to purchase a radio with better reception . it be good for $ 25 , but I be disappiont . +605 AlarmClock POS 5 Elgin Travel Alarm clock be so good that I have buy three -lrb- 3 -rrb- of they . what I like about the Elgin : 1 . -rrb- First and foremost : Easy to use . 1 . a -rrb- Easy to set alarm ; 1 . b -rrb- East to see display ; 1 . c -rrb- Easy to turn off alarm -- or snooze . 1 . d -rrb- big , bright display ; 1 . e -rrb- use ordinary aa battery -lrb- I use the 8x battery , probably overkill . -rrb- 1 . f -rrb- cheap . 1 . g -rrb- cheap enough that I have one in master b\/r , one in Guest B\/R and one permanently pack in my travel kit . other clock : 1 . -rrb- other clock show I time , temperature , time zone , etc. . 2 . -rrb- other clock make I work too hard to set alarm , time . 3 . -rrb- I have no need for multiple alarm and \/ or other ` enhance ' feature . 4 . -rrb- I have other -lrb- alarm -rrb- clock that be radio control , have many more feature , etc. . too hard to use . I revert to the clock in this review . +542 AlarmClock NEG 1 I buy this to replace my 10-year old Casio travel alarm . the `` nap timer '' feature look useful . Unfortunatley the alarm in this thing be very soft , no louder than the alarm on my wristwatch . I can not use it , I sleep through it every time . not recommend . +7 AlarmClock POS 4 the clock be quite functional , the only issue be that the light be too bright in the dark , make the number blur . +285 AlarmClock POS 5 I be really glad I order this clock . the light flash several minute before the alarm go off . I usually wake up to that . there be many different option on the alarm . it be face be always light up so you can see the time if you awake during the night , but not too bright to light up the room . I be very picky with clock and I absolutley love this clock . +225 AlarmClock POS 4 the ratchet knob on the top set the time a minute per click , so it really take a lot of work to set a time 12 hour , but it do the job . the radio be not really that great but I can get local station ok . I take the clock apart and wire it to activate a fire buzzer when the alarm go off . the only part I need be a reed relay , some wire and a switch . now I can really wake up with a serious alarm . -lrb- any day of the week -rrb- +470 AlarmClock POS 4 this product definitely have a few shortcoming , yet it be the best I find in its class -lrb- small , non-expensive , battery-operated -rrb- . the many complain I read about the self-setting appear base-less -- yes , the clock take its time set itself , around a hour , but it do it correctly . the alarm be just right , in my opinion , and the fact that you can adjust the duration of a snooze be a very useful -lrb- and evidently rare -rrb- feature . there be two major drawback -- the fact that the control button be in the back and the fact that you can only change hour and minute forward -lrb- a older model by Lacrosse have up and down button for hour and minute , which be wicked convenient -rrb- . overall , the best little alarm I find after a long search . +763 AlarmClock POS 5 I love this clock . . it be very lightweight and , even more important , very easy to use . no fancy stuff to deal with . +137 AlarmClock POS 5 my 8-year-old son be a huge lego fan and a recent fan of Star Wars . he love this alarm clock . it be important to note that he have always be scare of alarm clock before . this one beep loud enough to wake we up -lrb- I , at least - the son be a very heavy sleeper , -rrb- without be obnoxiously , ear-splittingly loud . the leg and arm be movable - he love to have Darth hold thing for he and change whether he be sit or stand . he favorite part , though , be that the clock light up with a red glow when you push down on Darth 's head , whether to make the alarm snooze for 5 minute or just to check the time . +670 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock have everything I want and need for a desk clock . do not care about the alarm feature but it be include . have a eight year battery so check with I in 7 1\/2 year about durability . love the clock , recommend it . +299 AlarmClock POS 5 this be a beautiful little clock , particularly if you like retro or vintage decor . the light dial be the best feature ! the light be a soft light that be not too bright . the alarm system work well . I buy the pink one , and we child want one in the other color . glad to be able to purchase this on Amazon for such a great price ! +925 AlarmClock POS 5 I want to set a timer for certain event . this do exactly what I want very well , at a very fair price . after read the review , I have expect it to gain or lose minute each day , which would be ok with I , but have have it for a month or so and it keep the correct time . Pleasant design , work fine , I be pleased . +467 AlarmClock NEG 1 take way too long to eve start delivery . it be 4 day & I a still recieve the same lame message `` shipping soon '' . stop talk and do it !!! if you want you item do not shop at amazon ! +922 AlarmClock NEG 1 I receive this clock a few day late because Amazon choose to ship this the cheapest possible way which be USPS instead of UPS or Fedex . I be suppose to receive this 2 day with my Prime membership and receive it 4 day later instead . so much for my membership benefit ! this clock display could not be view from a straight on view . the only way I could read the display be look at it almost from directly above or from a side view angle . also , when I push the blue backlight display button , I could not see anything , but Blue . this be defective and I be return it for another try . +153 AlarmClock POS 5 I have use a background noise machine for all 3 of my child to help they nap through other noise in the house . this be the best one so far and I highly recommend it . I use it at a fairly low volume with either the white noise or babble brook sound setting and it work like a charm . you can set 2 seperate alarm and the illuminate clockface have adjustable brightness level . +479 AlarmClock NEG 2 when I google `` slow wake alarm '' this product come up a number of time , so naturally I read the reveiw , like what I see and order it . however , when I recieve my item I be far from impressed . what I be look for be a alarm clock that would start out slowly and quietly then progressively get louder . this one do not . grant it be not a advertised feature , but I feel that it be something that come along with the product from the other review I have read . in reality this be a regular alarm clock that wake you up with you choice of beep or nature sound . not what I want . this one get a big thumb down . +56 AlarmClock POS 5 large display clock . unobtrusive , no noise , simple , reliable . what be not to like ? I think I might not like the flash colon sign ... but it be no problem at all . very happy with this purchase . +59 AlarmClock POS 5 I buy this for my husband who be a big ` Star Wars ' fan . he love it !! he put this in he office at work as functional decoration . +284 AlarmClock POS 5 this small CD player have wonderful sound quality , and everything on it work as describe . +889 AlarmClock POS 5 find a good travel alarm with a digital display should not be difficult , but I have go through a number of other clock that be unsatisfactory . one have a design very much like this one , but the switch be flaky ; if you try to set the alarm , it would irregularly oscillate between display the alarm and the time . another have a folding cover but leave button expose in back ; when I arrive at my destination , I often find that the button have be depress in transit and the time have be reset . the Westclox # 47508 travel alarm do not have these problem , and have work perfectly so far . as other have note , the light be dim and remain on only so long as you press the button . the alarm ring for one minute , and you can snooze indefinitely for four-minute interval -lrb- although I wish the snooze be a bit longer -rrb- . the button and switch be simple and intuitive . it run on a single l1154 button battery . this battery type go by various name -lrb- alkaline a76 , lr44 ; silver oxide e357 , 10l14 , ms76 , sr44 -rrb- , and be one of the easier button battery to find in store . the clock be compact and appear sturdily make . +736 AlarmClock NEG 1 I have three main criterion in mind when select this clock -lrb- two of they , actually -rrb- for we bedside table . this product end up defy all three criterion . you could say that the buyer be to blame , but the rub of buy on the internet be that you have to take a leap of faith that the product will function as it be suppose to . in this case , that leap be right off of a cliff . what I want : 1 -rrb- a attractive , retro look that would blend in with we bedroom : yeah , sure , this product have that chrome look and a retro-ish design , but its tiny size make it seem more like a travel alarm clock , and the cheap material show in the appearance . 2 -rrb- a easy-to-read face that would allow I to see the time quickly when I have to get up at night to feed we baby : the light on this clock be so lame that you can still barely see the number . also , one of the clock we receive break several time within the first few day , so my husband just start use he iPhone as a alarm . 3 -rrb- a effective alarm that do not blow you eardrum out : this alarm do not blow you eardrum out ... because it do not work . not once have the alarm on the one remain functional clock actually go off at the time we set it -lrb- or at all -rrb- . piece of crap . Waste of money . now I will be spend another 40 dollar to buy digital alarm clock again . Boo . +697 AlarmClock POS 5 have a red backlight to the clock face . no radio -lrb- a bit disappointing at this price-point -rrb- . articulate arm , hand , leg -lrb- I do not remember if the head swivel , but I think not -rrb- . tap the head to light up the backlight or turn off the alarm\/snooze . not brick-compatible with other product from the same brand . about 8 inch tall . +904 AlarmClock POS 5 I buy this for my uncle who be recover from colon cancer . he need a clock in he room and there be time when he do not have the energy to get up or feel like watch tv . like I , he love the sound of the ocean and there be time I walk by he room and hear he use the sound . he be happy , I be happy . +549 AlarmClock NEG 1 this be very cheaply make portable alarm clock . feel like a fake toy in you hand . I order mine , and right out of the box , the light function would not work . return it back to amazon for a refund . can you guess where be it make in ? no brainer . +814 AlarmClock POS 5 I have have the 30731 for about a week and be , thus far , very pleased . when I begin shop for a new alarm clock , my primary selection criterion be that it have a lead display . many new clock have multifunction lcd display which be nice except that you can not see they in the dark without press a button to illuminate they like a lcd wristwatch . alternatively , some of these lcd clock have projector attachment that shine a time display on the wall or ceiling , but you can not see they in a well-lit room ! a lead display be visible under all ambient lighting condition and seem to I the most logical and straightforward solution . once the universe of clock be narrow to lead model , the next consideration be the size of the LED digit . they run anywhere from approximately 1\/2 inch to 1 inch . I be very nearsighted , so to be able to see the time in the middle of the night without my glass , be purely a case of `` the bigger the better '' . the 30731 have digit that be .9 inch high - bigger than most other led clock and easily readable san glass at 4am . obviously , the larger the display , the larger the clock , but I have lot of room on my nightstand and be not concern with the 30731 's somewhat larger than usual size -lrb- about 8.5 `` w , 3 `` d , 4 `` h -rrb- . at this point , additional useful feature be the only other necessary evaluation . the 30731 have the ability to set itself by receive a radio signal from the US National Institute of Standards and Technology -lrb- NIST -rrb- located in Colorado -lrb- do a Google search for wwvb and you 'll find they - lot of useful info -rrb- . you set you timezone and whether you use Daylight Savings Time and the clock do the rest . I can report that from my location in NY , this work perfectly but you should know 2 thing . first , I have find that the clock must be face East-West -lrb- i.e. face Colorado from NY -rrb- for the auto-setting to work . if you bedroom be lay out such that you clock will not be face in the general direction of Colorado , you might have a problem . -lrb- actually , I think if it face directly \* away \* from Colorado , that be ok too . as long as its not `` end-on '' to Colorado . -rrb- furthermore , as the instruction point out , time signal reception be best in the wee hour of the morning , and that be the only time that , for my location anyway , the clock be able to sucessfully set itself -lrb- but it have sucessfully reset itself every night -rrb- . my only complaint , and it be a minor one , be that the snooze alarm bar , though large and easy to find , do not really depress like a button but sort of pivot front-to-back on a stiff spring and can cause a little fumble when you be in a semi-conscious state . the alarm be a electronic `` chirp '' . loud enough to wake I but not so loud as to cause coronary arrest . the clock have battery backup for power failure if you put a 9v battery in it -lrb- not include -rrb- . it do not have dual alarm or weekend setting . it do not display date , day of the week or seconds . you can see a better picture of the clock and get more info on it at the equitytime.com website . I have not experience the dim or irregularly illuminate display report by the reviewer from Redmond . I find it amply bright with all lead segment uniformly light . i be quite happy with this alarm clock and can recommend it without reservation . +835 AlarmClock POS 4 there be two great feature that I like the best . the graduwake alarm . this come in useful if you do not will not to wake up you partner , or if you current alarm `` scare '' you awake . the nap alarm . this be good for those short `` power nap '' . I will probably pick up another one as a gift . +513 AlarmClock NEG 2 the tip of the nose be break off . it be a fun birthday present -lrb- for a adult -rrb- so when it be notice we agree to fix the damage brown spot with a dab of nail polish . it be very obvious and should have either be package better , or notice before be mail . otherwise it be fine . +401 AlarmClock POS 5 I purchase this clock for my vanity sink . it be just the right size and it go perfectly with the faucet . it look pretty stirdy consider the price . +436 AlarmClock POS 4 I get this alarm clock because I just recently get some roommate that share a wall with I , and I also have a fan that run all night that be very loud . I read review for many different sound machine and this one seem like the most bang for they buck , on account i do not get all of they I can not be certain . I sleep with the Northwoods set which be just great , feel like I be camp , I be disappoint by the fireside which seem to quiet , the rain sound too ... I do not even know how to describe it , but I have fun go through a listen to they , and there be plenty of good one in there . the back light be by no means too bright , the whole display do light up and that seem unnecessary but it be certainly not too bright , I be very picky about that . I have not try to use sound for the alarm because I have do so in the past and they work they way into my dream and do not wake I up , so I use the beep which also stop the sound and work well , certainly not a horrible alarm to wake up to and start I off stressed . all in all I would say if you be look for a alarm clock or a soothing sound maker this be a good buy for the money , the price be not all that much , if you just have to have the most picture perfect , crystal clear , realistic , non-repetitive sound while you sleep ... order one of these , find out which one you like and then move to where those sound be real ... or you can spend the $ 40 and enjoy this device . +330 AlarmClock NEG 2 I purchase this clock as a replacement for a older Timex travel alarm clock that I lose . while this model function on a basic level , it be disappointing overall . as another reviewer mention , this clock gain time quickly . after just a couple of day it will be minute ahead of the actual time . if you only use the clock for weekend trip this probably will not be much of a inconvenience , but for longer trip or regular use at home , this be a bit of a nuisance . I can honestly say that in my entire life I have never have any clock , watch , or other appliance so poor at keep the correct time . I have also be disappoint with the quality of the Indiglo backlight on this clock . on my last travel alarm , as well as my Indiglo watch , the Indiglo backlight be bright and make the character easy to read in the dark . however , on this clock the Indiglo backlight be feeble by comparison . it be just bright enough to qualify as usable , but if you eyesight be not great the combination of the weak backlight and the fact that you probably be not wear contact or glass in the middle of the night may make this clock difficult for you to read . as far as the user interface be concern , the time display be very large , but other on-screen item , such as the `` alarm on '' indicator , be not necessarily obvious by a quick glance at the display . the Indiglo button , as you can see in the picture , be in the middle of the face of the unit . my last travel alarm place this button on the top of the unit . if you can imagine try to illuminate you clock in a pitch dark room , you can probably guess which location be more convenient . fortunately , all the button you need to set the clock be easily located on the lower half of the face of the unit . for set the time\/alarm the clock have a pair of up\/down button that move the time in one -lrb- if you press and release -rrb- or 15 -lrb- if you hold -rrb- minute increment . this be particularly useful for make small time adjustment backwards . overall I have be very disappoint with this clock . it lack some of the ease-of-use feature I be use to , and it suffer from poor craftsmanship . it be relatively inexpensive and it have not technically break , but if I could go back in time I would most certainly purchase a different travel alarm . +113 AlarmClock NEG 2 clock be as advertise and easy to use , unless you use the alarm . the volume of the alarm make it useless to I and the on\/off switch be very tight and hard to manipulate . addition : after notice the word -lrb- kitchen -rrb- after the description of the clock I review earlier , I look at the clock describe on the Amazon web page that I originally order from and realize that the clock I receive be a different model than the one I order . the picture on Amazon 's web page have the control on the top of the clock and the alarm indicator light on the top left of the face . the clock I receive have the control on the back of the clock and the alarm indicator light on the bottom-right of the clock face . this might account for the too-soft alarm volume on the clock I receive , as a kitchen clock would not need the alarm volume that a bedroom alarm would . I do not know if this be just a design change or a different model but something be different . +313 AlarmClock NEG 1 we have this for a little over a week . nothing but problem . Time would not set properly . only play cd when it want to . be a real piece of junk . +140 AlarmClock POS 5 I get one of these Westclox Travelmate Folding Alarm Clocks for college . it come with I around Europe and back again and 10 year later -lrb- I think I replace the battery twice during that time -rrb- the snooze\/light button finally break -lrb- it still work as a clock ! -rrb- . I do some research , think that there must be a slightly more technologically advanced alarm clock that I would prefer ; however , in the end weigh increase cost and mediocre review I decide to go with the alarm clock I know and could trust . I love that I can fold it up and put it in my suitcase without worry it 'll break and that it be so easy to set -lrb- though perhaps it might be nice if you could go up and down instead of just up when change the setting -rrb- and to use . I hope this one last another 10 year ! \* Update : a year later , this alarm clock start shift time , oddly the time itself would be correct , but if I set the alarm for 8am , the alarm part would reset itself , generally in the PM , and not at regular interval -lrb- e.g. , sometimes 5pm , sometimes 1pm -rrb- . I contact Acehardwareoutlet , who be very understand and send I a replacement . it just arrive , so here 's hope ! +419 AlarmClock POS 5 this be the perfect travel clock . I simply drop in the dop kit & forget it , and it be there when I need it for my next trip . it have every feature I need - indiglo ; big number ; easy to set ; fold upon itself ; and a loud-enough alarm . I be replace a Timex version that I have for oh-so-many year , but leave behind in a hotel room . one bonus this clock have that my Timex do not be that you can read the time with it fold up - great idea , Mr. Elgin . +248 AlarmClock POS 4 have a `` always accurate '' clock be a great feature in my house . it be easy to read and have all the necessary information show in the display . I especially like the battery\/solar charge feature , no wire to place or power supply to use electricity 24 hour a day . the curve shape be tricky to pick up as it tend to slip more than square edge would . I wonder if the clock will stand up to be in direct sunlight -lrb- use to recharge the battery -rrb- for several year . usually this kind of item say on the instruction not to place the item in direct sunlight , which be not in the instruction for this clock . +920 AlarmClock NEG 1 I buy two of these clock . love they ... when they work . the retro look be fabulous but the alarm stop work on both within a few short month . for $ 40 + per clock ... not to mention the household name of Westclox ... these clock be a huge disapointment . do not waste you money !! +102 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock be great if you want a simple alarm clock . intuiative to operate . simple and legible control . love the soft beep to wake I . get a little more obnoxious if you do not turn it off or hit snooze in a few seconds . I do not use snooze and be able to turn it off before it get angry . stand fold over to completely cover control and display when transport . one problem , minor to I but I can not read the time in the dark . the 2 little led do not shine enough light for I to read the time in the dark . still give a 5 star because I be very satisfied . hopefully the battery last a while . will order I a extra from e-bay . +778 AlarmClock POS 5 over the last year I have purchase three of these for we home . it be a nice size clock and display screen . the only flaw be that the time on all three clock be not the same . one clock be 6 minute behind the rest . this be easily fix by hold down the DST button for 5 seconds and manually change it . I believe Chaney have discontinue this clock as it be no longer list on they website . +886 AlarmClock POS 4 this little clock be great , if you have the right mattress . I get it about a month ago , and since then be lucky enough to get a new mattress . my old one be thinner and you basic ` come with the bed set ' stuff , and the little sonic boom get I up in a jiffy . my new mattress be very thick , and the boom only cause a gentle buzz that be pretty easy to ignore . so , it do it be job if you have the right bed for it . also , the light of the clock face be bright ; if you be a light sleeper you will not enjoy it . I end up drape a thin scarf over it to dull it a bit . with all that say it be still a reliable clock that be very cute and unique . +979 AlarmClock POS 5 excellent clock , keep time , get I up on time and I can read it in the middle of the night without any problem . +945 AlarmClock NEU 3 simple and serviceable . very bright display . should dim at night or have a setting . Fine for kitchen but too bright for other place at night . +115 AlarmClock NEU 3 I think this would be like the one i have a few year ago , but they change the sound to a terrible 7 second loop over and over again . plus they make the sound almost like they be fake rain , fake ocean etc. . the train be the only one that sound real , and it be the same every 7 seconds as it loop and repeat itself . I would not recommend this one . +968 AlarmClock POS 4 visually , this dalek alarm clock look very much like a real Dalek . the sound effect be excellant , and make I giggle every time ! my only real complaint be that the time display be so small it be virtually useless , unless you happen to be within 6 '' of the thing - which be well within lethal range of a dalek -lrb- even one that be 7 '' tall -rrb- ! the projection clock work well , but would be more useful if it stay on continuously . this product would be better if it have the option of plug-in power , which would allow for a continuous wall\/ceiling display by the projector . the battery only nature of it give it a toy-like feel , rather than that of a real , usefully functional alarm clock . of course , the point of the thing be really just to look cool and get some grin - which it most defintely do . I can not seem to walk by it without push the button to hear it say `` exterminate !!! '' Chuckle every time . +229 AlarmClock NEG 2 buy this alarm clock for my daughter who be big Dr. who fan . it look like a real dalek , but the quality be really cheap . the sound only work for a short time . it break after a few hour . now we only have the light effect . what be a alarm clock without a sound ? I will send it back tomorrow . Poor quality for a lot of money . +777 AlarmClock NEG 2 clock work great for about 6 month then pretty much die . the lcd would flicker and switch between day rapidly -- as if it be not `` set '' on the right day . $ 40 down the drain . three year be about what I expect from this type of product , I get six month . out of warranty : -lrb- edit -lrb- 2-07 -rrb- : I decide to take the whole thing apart because I be curious about how thing work and I think , what the heck , maybe I 'll find something out of alignment . I see how the knob thing-a-ma-jig work and I remove a plastic piece that cover a internal metal dial which change the day of the week setting . while the thing be in 10 piece on my desk I plug it in and the problem seem go . reassemble it -lrb- very easy -rrb- without put the plastic protector piece back on . seem to work good as new now . I do not have enough of a ego to claim I `` fix '' it . but whatever I do it work now . as it stand I would give it 4 out of 5 star . one thing I do not mention in my initial review be that I do not care for the secondary dial that you use to change you alarm time . you have to rotate it to change the seconds or hour depend on how fast you rotate it . sort of minor inconvenience . but assume the clock stay fix , I would recommend it . Hope this update help . +151 AlarmClock NEG 2 the concept of this alarm clock be a great idea . the exterior of the product be attractively style too . however , I receive a defective clock . the minute hand would not change the time on the clock . so I could not even set the time or alarm on this clock . the button on the clock be too small also . +286 AlarmClock NEG 1 this clock be a joke . they say it update with atomic clock . what they do not tell you be that it only do it every 2-3 day . so there go the whole big deal about it set itself or be accurate . if you need to replace the battery it will be day before you have the right time again . also no manual and no toll free telephone number mean I spend more on long distance call to find out why the clock be not work than what I originally pay for the clock . and the people at Equity Time USA give the word rude a whole new definition . the first customer person service person actually hang up on I because she be confuse . all and all stick with the clock you already have on you wall , I wish I would have . +712 AlarmClock POS 5 this alarm clock be the perfect backup travel alarm clock . it be the smallest , lightest alarm clock possible that even have a few extra feature to boot . \* it be small 2.6 '' W x 1.8 '' h x 0.6 '' d and weigh a scant 2oz with battery . \* it take 2 lr44 watch battery -lrb- easy to find -rrb- that have a lifespan of over 1.5 year and be lighter than the newer version -lrb- Casio PQ-13 and Casio PQ-15 -rrb- that take aaa and aa battery . \* Extra feature on this tiny clock be : 1 -rrb- 12 & 24 hr setting 2 -rrb- snooze feature -lrb- only 5-mins though -rrb- 3 -rrb- lead backlight -lrb- old green type -rrb- 4 -rrb- 3 separate function button that adjust with a audible click : time -lrb- alarm\/clock\/display -rrb- , display -lrb- 12 or 24 hour -rrb- , and alarm -lrb- on\/off\/snooze -rrb- so that there be not any mistake . as a result of its compact size , the function button be tiny . however , after a few use one can easily remember which button be which . in addition , as this be digital , there be no annoying tick . my main complaint be that the snooze\/light button -lrb- the blue one be the picture -rrb- be not protect when the stand\/cover be close . as such , the button could get accidentally press during transport . however , this issue have not be address in subsequent version . highly recommend as a backup travel alarm for those of we with smart phone . if the small label and tiny button be not a issue , this would also work well as a primary alarm clock . +371 AlarmClock POS 5 this be exactly what I want . the large illuminated number be bright and easy to read in the night . +226 AlarmClock POS 4 I be hard of hearing and see this recommend as a travel alarm . it be easy to use and compact . alarm be loud enough . I have not use it enough yet to give it 5 star . +10 AlarmClock NEG 2 I buy this clock for the large display and the backlight feature , but the clock arrive with the backlight nonfunctioning . as it turn out , the display be not that large or legible in low light . I would advise another choice . +200 AlarmClock POS 4 my husband and I luck out on a sale of these and each get one . the ability to program for a different time for each day be invaluable . once you understand how the timeset function work , it be a breeze to adjust . another reviewer comment that it do not have much of a radio , but I do not buy this gadget for its sound . I have a stereo if I want to hear good music ! all I want be for the radio to wake I up rather than a discordant `` beeeeeeep . '' and that it do ! I also do not mind manual tuning ; I like the ability to be able to tune in station with a knob . Digital tuning mean you be stick listen to whatever tuning the radio deem correct . +869 AlarmClock NEG 1 neither of the alarm work ! we do not find out within the 30 day to return this back to Amazon because I buy this 30 day before Christmas and this be a Christmas gift . I call Colby because it do come with a limited warrant 1 year on part and 30 day on labor . therefore the labor will not be cover and ship to and from be not cover . the lady tell I that by the time I pay for labor and shipping - I might as well not even bother - just go purchase another . as you can imagine I be not happy about the situation . I would set the alarm -lrb- on any setting -rrb- and within 10 minute of set the alarm , I would hear a light static noise and the clock would lose its time - it would go to midnight and keep blinking . +891 AlarmClock POS 5 this be buy for my dad and he just love this clock . if he ever need another one this be the only one he would ever buy . he have one in the past but they be unable to fix it so he have I search for another one . he like the idea that you can set it to wake to the light or sound . this be he 3rd clock over the last 20 plus year . so they do last . +767 AlarmClock POS 5 this be a gift that I give to my father who have limit vision . the LARGE RED number work out great for he . I be pleased that this be useful to he . +380 AlarmClock POS 5 the other review make I think some of these might be lemon ... because mine be the best clock I have ever have . set automatically , within 10 seconds , if you unplug it and take it elsewhere . the alarm start out soft and over time become incredibly loud . big display , bright -lrb- but definitely not enough to read by , that be silly -rrb- . love it . +491 AlarmClock NEG 1 very disappointing - the light do not light up the number well enough to read they in the dark . this will get return . I guess I need to keep shopping for something you can see at night time , this certainly be not it . +585 AlarmClock NEU 3 this be the exact same look but not the same feature as the Westclox I find on L.L. Bean website . I have a choice between this Westclox Model # 43007 and the L.L. Bean Westclox Model # 43012x . I want to try this one because it come in pink and L.L. Bean do not offer pink . but I be return because the ` muted ' light on the face be too bright and it can not be turn off . the L.L. Bean Model # 43012x in a soft sage green -lrb- 3 other color be also available -rrb- have a switch to turn off the face light and when on be a softer glow . there be also a larger snooze button on the top . there be another switch on the back that give you option of how the clock 's alarm will wake you up ; flash light or no flash light , sound alarm or no sound alarm . none of these feature be on this westclox # 43007 . also , the face number and color of face be more 1950 's stylized . on this one the number be more of a 1990 's font and the background be stark white , kinda lose the 1950 's look . -lrb- correct myself after comment leave : the L.L. Bean clock be $ 44.95 . I originally buy this one for $ 59 . now the Amazon list price range between $ 22 - $ 32 . for I the L.L. Bean Westclox feature be worth the extra cost . -rrb- upgrade from a two to a three star for the quick response from the seller to my request for a refund of $ 59 . +849 AlarmClock NEG 2 I buy one , love it , play it all the time , use the alarm function to wake up . today , it be not work . nothing I can do to make the light come back on , make the alarm work again . if I touch a button , it come back on for a few seconds . battery be use for back up only so not sure why it be not work ! need another clock now ... +132 AlarmClock NEG 2 well , I really hope it would work out with this clock , because I have covet it for some time . despite the mixed review , I finally decide to give it a chance when I get a gift card to Amazon for Christmas . unfortunately , I be have to send it back . as other people have say , the color be much brighter than the picture -lrb- the pink be the same hue as in the photo , but it be a much more saturated version - a bit more bubblegum than salmon -rrb- , and there be silver around the bottom instead of the white in the pic . neither of those thing bother I - the clock be still quite cute in person . unfortunately , I do not realize that the face be always light and you can not adjust the brightness . similarly , the audio part of the alarm be super loud and non-adjustable . but the main reason I return it be that it just never seem to work properly - sometimes the audio alarm would go off without the light part flash first , sometimes both would happen at the same time , and sometimes the light would flash but the audio would not ever come on . if I be just look for a cute clock to have in the living room and do not want to use it as a alarm clock , I definitely would have keep it despite its flaw . but for my purpose , it be just not a match . +949 AlarmClock POS 5 it have `` 20 soothing sound '' many of which be enough to wake I up in the morning when that feature be use - especially the chime and the steam train engine . I usually use the 60 min . sleep timer and fall asleep to one of the myriad of water sound : ebb tide , surf 's up , rain , brook , and a few more . a few of they have realistic sound seagull , so I do not use those . -lrb- a good friend be dive-bomb by a seagull right into he mouth while on a fishing trip - I take on he antipathy towards seagull . -rrb- my husband and I have have a sound machine by another company for over 10 year - it finally give out . I also appreciate the light clock , that we old one do not have . this be a great buy -- enjoy ! +2 AlarmClock NEU 3 I be look for a inexpensive portable alarm clock . I have have this one about a month and like it so far . pro : - alarm be loud enough - back light be bright enough - have protective cover for digit when travel - non-bulky with folding stand - can check alarm set time by push button con : - hard to see the number except if you be look down at a angle at the face of the clock - to set minute you have to cycle all the way through ... not a big deal - a little tricky to slide the switch between set the alarm and arm it and turn it off -lrb- I be worried I 'll slide it to the wrong setting -rrb- +416 AlarmClock NEG 1 this clock be innacurate and problematic throughout its brief life , and then it have a stroke , and then it die . +739 AlarmClock POS 4 this be probably the best atomic projection clock if all you want be a time display function . I have several of of this model . it have a bright-enough projection display , can do 24-hour format -lrb- unlike Oregon Scientific model -rrb- , relatively easy to setup -lrb- for a atomic clock -rrb- , and the most affordable . as be with most digital clock , set up the alarm be a hassle and I do not use it . negative # 1 : the power-supply be only for the projection and all setting be lose when battery be change . the trick be to replace one battery at a time and quickly to retain the setting . negative # 2 : when place behind you , say on a bed headboard , the display can not be rotate enough for proper orientation while sleep . there be a plastic tab inside the projector that can be force break to override it . +537 AlarmClock POS 5 I live in a studio and do not have a table for my bed , so I be look for a small simple alarm clock that run on battery . so far this one have be great . it have a small profile and simple control , a large light\/snooze button that be easy to hit when you be still half asleep , and a three tone alarm beep that be not too loud but still wake you up . I have only have it for a week but it be still perfectly on time . there be only two thing I would change one it . First be that there be only one alarm you could set . it would be great if there be a second alarm so I could set one time for weekend and another for weekday , but change the time be easy so its not a dealbreaker . the other be the 4 minute snooze button . again , not a big deal but come from alarm with 7 minute snooze its go to take a while to get use to . +645 AlarmClock POS 5 I have a sleep disorder and this be the first alarm I have ever have that I always wake to ! it vibrate -lrb- you put the white disc under you mattress and it shake enough to rattle you tooth just a little -rrb- and have a very loud alarm . you can choose one or both . the alarm have a volume control and a pitch control , so if you tend to adjust to you alarm over time and stop hear it you can make it a lower or higher note to fix that . of course some people can reset a alarm in they sleep - but this one have the snooze button tuck inside the `` v '' on top of the heart shape and it be harder to just slap it in a daze to put it off . and the silly pink plastic heart with rainbow color LED make my bedside table a lot more amusing . Amazon 's price be the best by far when I purchase . +908 AlarmClock POS 5 my only concern with this clock be that be not too stable when standing . better to have it sit when you be not play with it . +235 AlarmClock NEU 3 hello , I have this machine since October 2011 and it have this horrible hum to it since I buy it so I never really use it that much . I `` finally '' run into a post that say to try a better power supply . I swap out the power supply with a better , regulate power supply -lrb- input 100-240v , output 12v -rrb- and `` finally '' no more buzz ! the clock work like a charm now . you can find a replacement power supply at you local Radio Shack or computer store . they be not expensive . thanks so much to Matthew for the power supply tip and another gentleman who suggest to open up the clock and bend a few of the led to the back so the display would not be so bright . be sure to tighten the display plate when put the clock back together since it be pressure sensitive . two very easy fix and the sound soother now work nicely without any issue ! +452 AlarmClock NEG 2 I really want to like this product but right out of the box it appear to be of cheap quality or at least assemble in a cheap\/fast manner . some assembly glue be ooze out of the rear seam and while play the sound , the speaker have some static in they as well . the overal concept of the clock be good but poorly execute . the sound be not realistic , for example , rain sound like white noise and the Thunder be so to constant for any storm I have ever witness . the main problem with all of the sound be that they be on a short loop . it seam like 15 to 30 seconds at the most , to consist to fall asleep . the volume be a problem as well . 1 sometimes be to quiet -lrb- depend on which sound to choose -rrb- but 2 be to loud . in order to get the sound just right , I turn the alarm clock around so that the back speaker where face I . unfortunately then , I could not see the clock ! the clock itself as a issue as well , even on the lowest setting , the light from the clock be so bright . so bright in fact that even with the alarm clock turn around , it be still a distraction in the room . even when lie down the alarm clock on its face , the light be shine through the button and screw hole . all in all , the sound and clock itself do not work for I nor my wife to fall asleep to so we send it back . +771 AlarmClock POS 5 excellent travel clock - compact , easy to use and set up , no overwhelming bell and whistle to deal with . loud alarm to get you up without give you a morning heart attack . Indiglo be useful and turn off quickly so as not to disturb sleep . I love it so much , I buy another one and use it as a daily alarm clock . highly recommend . +344 AlarmClock POS 5 this be a fantastic product !! before the Sonic Boom alarm clock , my daughter would sleep right through she alarm go off . the vibration of the Sonic Boom alarm clock be very strong and now she be not late for school anymore . +422 AlarmClock NEG 1 this unit have a constant buzzing\/humming when use the on\/off button or the snooze feature . it be impossible to snooze with that level of noise . it may be the transformer , but I be not willing to try another unit , so Amazon be issue a refund . +415 AlarmClock POS 4 in the photo , this clock look blue . it be in fact , black , not blue as picture . not enough reason -lrb- quite -rrb- to return it , but disappointing . the dial do glow nicely when it be dark if put into auto mode , or when the snooze button be hold down . it be slightly bigger than I expect , but not a great deal . I like the fact that the alarm start quite subtly , and get louder and faster in stage . it be on the softer side , for a alarm , which I prefer , but if you be a heavy sleeper , it may not work for you . the dial glow be quite green , but not horribly bright . not nearly as bright as my cellphone , for example . +363 AlarmClock NEG 2 I loathe be abruptly awaken and really do not care for the look of most alarm clock . so I be excite to find this cute little clock that claim you `` waken to gentle light flash ' . well , it be not gentle . it be like a emergency vehicle be in you room . I guess the up side be that you do in fact awaken . but only one day of this and it be go back . guess i 'll have to settle for a ugly clock that do in fact , wake you with gently increase light . bummer . +810 AlarmClock NEG 2 this clock gain about 5 minute every 4 day or so . I have a old digital plug-in clock that keep perfect time , but the alarm do not work . I buy this one for the alarm , but usually have to reset the time to match the old plug-in about twice a week . also , if it get drop or knock off the table , you have to reset the time . I have have 2 or 3 other clock of this type that keep perfect time , maybe gain a minute or two every 6 month . I would not buy another Timex . +144 AlarmClock POS 5 this be the best alarm clock I have ever own ! the display -lrb- not show in the Amazon picture -rrb- be dark with illuminated number , and there be a brightness control for it . I leave it on the lowest setting and it be easily visible at night , without be bright enough to disturb I . the sound be pleasant to wake up to and have a volume control . I like the fact that there be no radio in this unit . -lrb- who ever listen to the radio in a clock radio anyway ? the sound be usually terrible . and set the alarm to `` radio '' just result in wake to ad or a overly chipper morning show . -rrb- the unit be small and attractive . it be perfect ! +207 AlarmClock POS 5 this be a well make product that be go strong after month of use . my son love check the time before he get out of bed . the only `` downside '' be that the clock make a beep sound if the light to check the display be activate . I find that it be helpful that it be not consistently back light , which make the room darker and more sleep-friendly , but the `` beep '' can be annoying to those who be light sleeper like I be . +365 AlarmClock POS 4 I get this for my 10 year old and he be please with it . so that say something . the first thing you should know it that this clock be small . about the size of a softball . I be expect bigger , and be a little disappointed in that . second , the ` nature sound ' be very fake . one be a coo-coo clock and one that be suppose to be water sound like a toilet flushing . for a 10 year old it be fine , for a adult look for nature sound , this be not what you be look for . the clock itself be a little more complicate to set than some , but not impossible . it do light up and change color when you push the button . I would say for a kid 's first alarm clock this one be good , novel , fun . for anyone else , this be not what you be look for . +255 AlarmClock POS 5 I buy this clock to replace the one I have have for the past 10 or so year because the alarm stop work . after read the review for this latest model , I be expect the worst . but all part be in good work order and when the flash light go off this morning , I be pleasantly surprise to see it be light blue in color -- kinda like the sky at dawn . hopefully this one will have a long life like my previous one -lrb- which I relegate to the guest bathroom where it can be use solely as a clock . -rrb- +149 AlarmClock NEU 3 this be not my first , nor last , sound soother . my favorite be the Sharper image travel version . with many of the same sound as the travel soother\/alarm , I find the ec-b100 produce lower quality and flatter sound . the volume be totally out of control with 0 be no sound and 1 be too loud . I have not try anything above 3 at this point . I hate read manual and do not like it when I have to resort to the manual to figure out what I believe be a very simple device . on the other hand , for a purchase under $ 50 , this be a good buy and value . some of the sound like Surf 's up , thunderstorm and rain be good on this device . its not easy to identify the pattern so those sound be nice for go to sleep . the sound do not fade - what you set be what you get , all night . you can set it to turn off but that wake I up so I only do that once . the device be very light and the design not optimal for size and weight . it tip easily when you reach to shut it off . it have a relatively narrow profile but I do not like the way it feel . all in all , I be content with the purchase and would recommend the Sharper image ec-b100 sound Soother Alarm clock . +578 AlarmClock NEU 3 this unit be a good basic alarm clock for those who do not want the standard annoying alarm that most digital alarm clock come with . I find the bird wake sound to be the best , wake I gently . I like that the cycle get a bit louder the second time around so that if you be in a deep sleep it can still wake you . one problem I have with it , the volume dial when set to the loudest point cause the sound to completely cut out . I assume it be a flaw just in my unit , not enough to go through the trouble of send back . also the unit be a bit bulky , the display be large , but I think they could have make the unit smaller without loose any function . +820 AlarmClock NEU 3 I get this think a larger clock would be easier to see from part way across the room . I need to watch the second hand to time my stretch exercise . unfortunately , I didnt look closely at the picture . the silver second hand be almost invisible unless I move the clock to right next to my face so I can see it . oh well . the clock work well so far , and I like the nice green color of the face at night . it be very cheerful and good company . just look closely . a red second hand be easier to see . that be the alarm hand . +173 AlarmClock POS 5 I buy this clock for my mother who be now 84 and cope with macular degeneration . she love it and say it be easy to see . autumn 2010 : mom have to go into a nursing home last year , alas , but the clock still continue to function as it should . still a good buy here . 2012 : still work and still remarkably accurate . +529 AlarmClock NEG 2 the first user review I read be right on the money . I use this device to muffle street noise at night . there be only a couple of setting that make wave or white noise sound for sleep and those be very short loop . there be repetitive , distracting sound that can keep you wide awake . the rest of the choice have sound effect that be not condusive to sleep . such as chirp bird , fog horn , cricket , etc. . the lowest volume be bearly audible and the second to lowest be quite loud . this be the second soother I purchase from sharper image , the first nearly 20 year ago . I have to admit the older model be much better . the volume control be a slide so you can set it appropriately for tthe environment and the ocean wave sound lull I to sleep instantly . over the year price have more than double and the product quality have slip . if it aus not break , DO not fix it !!! diff --git a/dev/Baby.txt b/dev/Baby.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..2e642b02886e04d948c1c6340b325609bcb8ef94 --- /dev/null +++ b/dev/Baby.txt @@ -0,0 +1,100 @@ +852 Baby POS 5 best purchase ever ! we wait way too long to purchase a dry rack . lot of space , drain right into the sink . +760 Baby POS 5 1 . never irritated we baby 's skin . smell nice . 2 . you do not have to rinse it , so it be great when you hand be full or while travel -lrb- the dispenser lock in close position -rrb- .

I will have to buy a bath mat to put at the bottom of the tub and will need to be even more alert that I be previously , otherwise my son will knock himself out ! note to all buyer : try to find a inflatable tub with a non-slip bottom ... Update : I buy a little bath mat by Green Sprouts and it fit perfectly and help a bit with the slip issue +61 Baby POS 5 I enjoy this bib because it be more pliable than the Bjorn bib . it roll easier for stuff into a diaper bag plus it be much cheaper .

I suggest these to my mom since she watch one of she grandson three time a week . she can have they in lock position when he be there and unlock position the rest of the week . the adhesive work really well . I have no need to use nail to reinforce . I make sure I let they set 24 hour before mess with they . while they be set for the first 24 hour , I put they in unlock position incase my husband forget they be there and yank the door open . I just put the key on the refrigerator . my 7 year old can reach it just fine while my 18-month-old can not . this have be the perfect solution for my family ! +592 Baby POS 5 frustrate with baby sock that keep fall off you baby ? you search be over . these sock from PUMA stay on they little foot . highly recommend they for all the young mother out there -lrb- and they grandmother ! -rrb- +434 Baby POS 5 this little onsie be so cute ! the color & quality be great . my baby boy be very stylish & this be a great find for a great price . it arrive in good time as well , I believe a few day earlier than expect .

I love it and can not live without it . pump save I really , since after those first 3 day of have my baby my breast be kill I and I almost give up breastfeeding ! but I decide to give pump a shot , and it hurt a bit at first since my breast be so swollen and sensitive - but after a few try I get so use to this pump and even decide to buy a second one to maximize my pump time ! so I highly recommend , if you can afford purchase it , to buy the Avent dual electric pump , since it cost less than buy two single electric pump ... and unfortunately I do not know how much I would like pump and have to buy two singles , one first and later the second . it be amazing to be able to give my baby breast milk without go through the pain of breastfeed every 2-3 hour -lrb- my baby be a barracuda ! -rrb- . so I alternate between pump and breastfeed , and also help with pump milk once you have to return to work as well as pump for the night - if you want someone else to feed the baby and you can sleep to recover ! also I would like to add that if you do buy this pump , buy all avent product since it make it so much easier to transfer from pump to bottle , to plastic avent recipient to any other avent product ! they be all amazing and I be search amazon now for any other Avent product I do not have yet ... +707 Baby POS 4 this be another great baby product by a great company . they continue to get softer after each wash and do a good job of soak up drool and spit up . my only complaint be that this one be not quite as big as the one you get in the 4 pack . it feel as if it be make slightly different too . it have a different look and overall feel but still work great . +951 Baby NEU 3 this be a very cute , soft blanket I purchase for my cousin 's daughter . however , the blanket do not have the crown " hood " part as picture . it be just a plain purple on back and the pink pattern on the other side . +605 Baby POS 4 this be great on OUR trip . it make move through the airport with the CARSEAT EASY , ONLY DRAWBACK be if your child be in the seat and you have to go forward instead of pull the bag that the CARSEAT be ATTACHED to it be hard move over bump BUT OVERALL very positive experience . +542 Baby POS 5 this item ship a little slow but be exactly what I want ! the shelf be nice and roomy for storage . the wood be in great condition and I like the wheel . very good look at a great price . if you be look for something moderate then this change table will be perfect ! +7 Baby NEU 3 I buy these for my daughter in 2008 and they be make of a very soft flannel material , which I really love . I be expect a similar product when I purchase these for my son , but they change the flannel to that gauzy cloth . it be ok , but I prefer the flannel . also the border shrink after I put they in the dryer -lrb- even use the low setting -rrb- , so mine be all out of shape . pro - fit my shoulder well -lrb- although my husband complain it keep fall off -rrb- , cute design con - expensive , be not pre-shrunk so border with shrink +285 Baby POS 5 we little baby boy will be bear at the middle of September 2011 . so I decide to gift this little snapsuit on my husband birthday . it have a very nice quality and my husband be very amuse . so we little son be get to become a trekkie as soon as possible . I be look forward to see my son in this clothes ... can not wait until next year ... +225 Baby NEU 3 I put this on my registry and receive it as a gift . the brush work fine on the Dr. Brown bottle as well as my Medela pump bottle . pro : the bristle be soft and flexible . con : we have have it for 2 month now and the sponge be already fall apart . we already need to replace it with another . but for $ 4 , not bad . +470 Baby POS 4 much-needed addition to the Joovy Caboose . holder for two water bottle or sippy cup plus a zip pocket and a open pocket -lrb- that can hold a container of snack food for my toddler -rrb- . very worthwhile purchase if you have this stroller . +763 Baby POS 5 we be one of those hippie family that do `` baby-led weaning '' . for those who do not know what that mean , we skip the puree and rice cereal and go straight to allow we son to try feed himself bit of `` real '' food at 6 month old . although we never use traditional baby food , we do give my son natural applesauce and full-fat unsweetened yogurt . instead of spoon it into he mouth , we `` load '' the spoon for he and hand it to he so he could learn to feed himself . these spoon be great for even a young baby to use for self-feeding . they be lightweight enough that we son could handle they even at 7 month old . they have a long handle , which be good for a baby that do not have pincer grasp yet and still grip anything in he fist . and the bowl be small and relatively deep compare to other baby spoon , so the food do not spill out too easily despite be maneuver by my little one who still flail a bit . the spoon be bright and my son love they . they be easy to clean and to carry in a diaper bag . I can not recommend they enough . +137 Baby POS 5 i buy these for my twin & I be completely satisfy with they . they do the job and the biggest concern for we be the space for high chair for twin , but these be just perfect space saver . I would totally recommend these over the bulky high chair ! +670 Baby NEG 2 I want to love the Baby Soy gown but they do not fit well . my newborn be totally average size . she be 7lbs 2oz at birth and 21 " . these gown fit she for a week -lrb- she be 7lb at she 5 day pediatrician visit -rrb- . the gown be very short and way too tight at the bottom . also , the hand opening be tiny , which make get baby into these a real pain . I be disappointed because the fabric be so soft and the design be adorable . +299 Baby POS 5 I be so very happy I buy this for my son . I dress my little on in footsy pj 's , but be always worry about he be cold because I would often forget to cover he with a blanket . I would always have to go in after he be asleep or he would roll onto it . since I have to wait I would usually fall asleep . now I do not have to worry . I get it for my 16 month old son who be pretty tall . -lrb- guess 31ish inch at the time -rrb- the large fit perfectly . it keep he warm and allow he to still stand and move . I would not let he run in it though . : -rrb- +925 Baby POS 5 buy these as a gift for my daughter and could not be happpier . nice bright cololr and soft make it child friendly . +467 Baby NEU 3 we buy this to hand wash bottle when we can not run they through a washer . we buy a cheaper spare from CVS that have softer bristle and clean better . +922 Baby POS 4 it be a very good product and the only reason why I give 4 start be due to the bottom rack be not revolving -lrb- kind of stick after 3 day , do not know if I set it up wrong -rrb- . otherwise , absolutely useful and serve the purpose . +153 Baby NEU 3 I get one bib for $ 10 , but I should have read the review better , the back do get gross . it be nice because you can just take it over to the sink after every use and wash it but it stay pretty crispy for a while , my daughter hate wear it . it be really cute and do the job but a little expensive for one bib . +479 Baby POS 4 I buy two of these seat saver for my Honda Odyssey to accommodate Britax Marathon carseat . yes , the basis be wide , but be not that the point ? the non-slip surface on the underside grip the leather very well and my car seat have no slip and slide when latch in and secure . the front flap be great for keep melting snow and ice and general muck from my kid 's shoe off the front of the seat . I wish I would buy a third for the infant car seat ! +56 Baby POS 5 I buy these spoon for my 6 month old to start she on puree food . these be very soft and look quite durable . so far they have hold up well despite my baby bite on they when she eat . they be gentler on she gum that the First year spoon that I purchase with another set of utensil . +59 Baby POS 5 just want to say that these sleepsack be not oversized . after read so many review about they be huge I almost buy the 12-18 month size for my 20 month-old . I be really glad I do not . it fit she perfectly -lrb- she be 32 inch tall\/29 lb -rrb- . +284 Baby POS 5 I be thrill with this product , which be great for diaper change and wipe up -lrb- face , nose area , hand -rrb- . it truly require no rinsing and have be wonderful when use on both my sensitive skin daughter aged 2 and 10 month . we have never experience a negative reaction to this product and its light , clean scent be divine . Chris in Cherry Hill , NJ +889 Baby POS 5 silicone baby bib be : Easy to clean nice design Perfect for a busy mom very usefull I be very happy to have it +736 Baby NEG 1 it seem like this product would work fine for plastic bottle , but when I be try to use it for my glass bottle , not only would the little peg not stay in so they be always fall all over the place , but the spin feature would not work with the heavier glass bottle . I would recommend the `` Prince Lionheart complete Drying Station '' instead . I have not try any other product , but the price lionheart product still have a small footprint and I can fit more bottle on it and access everything I need . good Luck ! +697 Baby POS 5 Ocean sound be my new go to favorite . I purchase this sleep sheep in desperation today after my son wake himself up from a nap and be a mess for the baby sitter all afternoon . clearly , he do not get enough sleep . I try this out skeptically -lrb- take the sound box out of the sheep and set it beside my 9 month old ... leave the sheep in the box so I could return it if it do not work -rrb- and do not expect to be impressed . I use it for the first time tonight while put my son to bed , and he have be much less restless than he usually be , only wake completely once ! the sound put he into a deeper sleep . that make it worth the $ $ to I ! - the sheep be very soft . my son be stroke it be wool as he fall asleep - I love how the sound box come out . very handy ! I have no trouble put it back in , and have take it out\/put it back in several time tonight . - I listen to the heartbeat sound in a larger version in the toy store . it do not do anything for I and do not sound like a heart beat . I do not miss it . as I say , ocean wave be my preferred choice . I be lay down with my son with this go , and it just about lull I out ! sound choice be very personal , so not everyone will like each sound . the rain fall sound be pretty generic white noise , in my opinion . I like the ocean sound because it be lower pitched and more of a rolling sound , like a big ol' barrel wave come in on the beach at night , with cricket in the background . I agree that the whale sound be odd , but maybe it would be relax to some ? the trickle water sound be relax but sort of make I have to go to the bathroom ... but anyway ... you 'll find one sound that work for you best and stay with it . I do not need option , I just need one that work ! - I wish continuous play be a option , but it do not wake my son up when the sound go off , and it be easy to push the button again . this be not a deal breaker for I . - the travel size one be perfect . I like that it be smaller - the sound be perfect . not too loud not too soft . I actually prefer not to have it up all the way , because the wave can get a little loud . they start soft and get louder at the end . great product ! I do not usually do review , but this be definitely worth it ! it sure beat stand next to my baby , say shhhhhhhhhhh like a idiot for hour on end : -rrb- that alone be worth $ to I . +904 Baby POS 4 a cute onesie for my son , but the yellow be lighter in real life than it appear on my computer screen or on the tv show . in other word , it be still cool , but not as cool as it would have be have they get the color right . that be say , I also buy my son a blue science officer 's -lrb- Spock -rrb- onesie , and that one look great . the color be on point , and the Starfleet logo pop better against the blue . yes , I know , I be a total nerd . Live long and prosper . +549 Baby NEU 3 originally get this for my 30lb son for overnight , be wake up soak wet with overnight diaper with 2 booster , and no i be not give a gallon of water before bed . he would sleep for almost 12 hour so that alot of pee !!! anyway buy 2 of these and 2 dozen toddler size indian cloth diaper . the cloth prefold diaper be way to bulky and it make the diaper and the wrap so big and bulky that my son could barely walk and it be sad to see he try to sleep without be able to close he leg . i end up get AIO diaper and put 2 liner . i be now look to get bigger size AIO 's they be typically size 8-35 lb . i have research like crazy and end up get the bummi aio . so far be happy with they . will post my review for the bummi soon +814 Baby NEG 1 I buy this potty chair because the description on the box make it seem like a good one . however the blue sit do not attach to the chair and just sort of sit on top , so if you have a whiggler , it will move . my son be very uncomfortable with it . +835 Baby POS 5 I think this product be excellent ! it be small and very convenent ! however , it be a little bit of a pain in the butt when you have to take everything apart for security and then to check the car seat in at the gate and put it all back together when you pick it back up ! after a few time of do this myhusband get the hang of it and figure out how to leave the piece hook on to the car seat and be able to just slide the suitcase into the loop and hook it up on the time ! this do save a little bit of time and effort . I will definitly keep use this product and will recommend it to my family and friend ! +513 Baby NEG 1 I think these look like decent burp clothes from the picture . get they and they be super thin and after I wash they , they shrink-ed and get even thinner . I would not waste you money on they . I spend $ 11 on a 3 pack of Carter 's brand and they be WAY better and worth the money . +401 Baby POS 5 I be a bit skeptical of this mobile mostly because it look so large in the picture , and also because I think I probably want a mobile that play lullaby instead of classical music . however , when I see this on clearance at Walmart , when my son be 5 month old , I decide to try it -- and now only regret I do not get it sooner ! it be definitely a large mobile , but that become a non-issue , and the classical music be great . the leaf and animal move slowly and calmly but have interesting color and feature , which keep a baby 's interest while not be over-stimulating . there be four sound option -lrb- rainforest and three different classical composer -rrb- , which if select will run for about 15 minute each before automatically shut off . no frequent resetting and no winding-up necessary -- a definite plus . there be three option for light\/music , light\/music\/motion , and music\/motion , so it be not possible for the mobile to work with just motion and no sound , but you can have the nightlight off . the music be slow-tempo , soothing and relatively quiet and have help my son fall asleep countless time over the past six month . we remove the mobile arm as soon as he could stand up , and switch the music\/light\/motion option at just music and light . he absolutely love push the big , colorful button to turn the music on and off by himself . Practical note : my initial set of d battery be still go fine after six month , so they do not need frequent change . the mobile be easy to assemble and it be easy to detach the mobile arm when need . the only negative be that the on\/off remote never seem to work for `` on '' for I -- only `` off '' -- even when align as instruct . highly recommend . +436 Baby POS 5 this be we fourth bummi - we son have always be in cloth diaper and we have use bummi as the over-protector for about 2 year now . they wear well -lrb- we wash they at least 3x \/ wk . -rrb- we also use thirsty as well as the cover we diaper service give we and i think both bummi and thirsy be really solid product . +330 Baby POS 5 we buy the first set because we be potty training and this be the set they have at we toddler 's day care . we buy the second set -lrb- to travel in the car -rrb- because the first set be such a success . we son love it , and start use it strait away with no problem . the seat be not a perfect fit for we toilet seat : the toilet seat be longer , so the thoma seat slide back and forth . however , we solve that with a moist wipe box wedge in behind the thoma seat . we four year old can put it all together on he own , so he can go pee in the middle of the night without we help . he move the step stool easily from the toilet bowl to the sink . the rubber grip on top stop he from slip . the cushion seat -lrb- which be entirely wrap in plastic -rrb- detach easily from its plastic base , so you can wash both part . +113 Baby NEG 2 I love the pattern of this onesie but be really disappoint in the quality of the material when it arrive . for the price -lrb- not cheap -rrb- , I expect the material to be softer . the material be rough . +313 Baby NEU 3 I purchase this gown as a gift for my new granddaughter . the gown be beautiful but the manufacturer have make a few change . it no longer have the darling convertible mitten . the mitten on the right side of the gown use to have a pair of bunny ear on it . now there be no mitten at all . they be still use a photo of the original gown . other than these change the gown be still special . very soft . the overlay be only on the front of the gown . the back be just the cotton knit . +140 Baby POS 5 this cover fit perfectly on a contoured change pad . I love the design and softness of the material . it have only be wash once , but it seem like it will be durable . +419 Baby POS 5 my son be 3 1\/2 month old and he sleep in he Halo Sleepsack every night . when he be a newborn we would swaddle he and then he out grow the need for it . when we use the swaddler wrap be be perfect . it be also just tight enough so he could not slip he little hand out . I also really like that it be so easy to clean !!! now he be wear a medium size sleepsack and it be perfect . I have notice that it also keep he on he back because it be hard to roll over in . that be so great because he be a little wiggly worm at night . over all this be a great product and I would recommend it to anyone with a baby ! +248 Baby NEG 2 as a swim diaper , it work pretty well . Cut really wide at the crotch though . what I really do not like be that there be no laundry tab so either you have to keep the tab close across the front and it can not open up to get clean or it stick to everything . +920 Baby NEG 2 I have be use this pump for over 8 month now . the only thing I like about this product be maintain my milk supply . I have use other product but its not as efficient . I be close to exclusively pump since the 4th month and I pump about 7 to 8 time per day and it break down on the 7th month . customer service do promptly replace the product without too much trouble . however , when I question about the milk get into the tube , they just say , `` its ok '' you just sterilize it and disregard if its clouded . I really doubt this one as its very impossible to thoroughly sterilize the tube . so , I have to buy replacement tube so often . I could have buy a better kind with all the money I spend from replacement tube . it have soo many part too that you need to wash every use . I guess there be other type that be fewer part to wash after each use . +102 Baby POS 5 this toy be so cute ! my grandaughter be maybe too young to really appreciate it yet -lrb- 4 month -rrb- but I hope she 'll love it eventually . there be several other , and they be all really adorable . +778 Baby POS 5 this product be very cute ! it will be a great to for my baby to play with when she get big enough but until then we can use the super cute socksit come with ! I really like that the sock have grip on the bottom ! Great for baby learn to walk ! +886 Baby POS 5 I buy a couple of these for my 6-year old boy recently diagnose with anxiety . he keep chew on he shirt , finger -- anything he could get in he mouth . we call this he `` chew ring '' and he chew on it as need . sometime he wear it , but more often than not he carry it or put it in he pocket . he chew a lot on the string too which do not bother I . better this than he clothing . I highly recommend this ! +979 Baby NEG 1 sure , these be nice and soft and highly attractive like all other Aden and Anais product . they might even work for a moderate drooler . but my son be a heavy drooler . they end up soak through entirely -lrb- and through the entire front of the onesie -rrb- within a hour . I be not sure how that be even possible as he go through maybe 3-4 green sprout semi-waterproof bib per day -lrb- or , 5 luvable Friends bib -rrb- . these bib be the opposite of waterproof . they soak up so much spit and help to transfer the wetness directly onto the shirt below , leave baby 's chest all wet - while the bib feel only half wet . for the same cost or less , I wish I have get ten more Green Sprouts bib instead ... really wish these work , have high hope for they but now I definitely will not be purchase any more . +945 Baby POS 5 I fly standby from atl to mem with a 18 month old and a 6 week old by myself . -lrb- yeah , I be crazy -rrb- . this carseat travel accessory save my sanity . it basically turn my suitcase into a stroller . I be able to have my toddler in the newly create `` stroller '' and carry my baby in a baby bjorn and remain hand free which be priceless . plus , I do not have to check any baggage which be a lifesaver when travel standby . I highly recommend this product . it be the best carseat travel accessory and the cheapest in price . +115 Baby POS 5 I purchase this change table on a Saturday afternoon and it arrive at my house the next Tuesday . I be impress at how easy it be to assemble . I be almost full term with my pregnancy and be able to help my not so handy boyfriend put it together . it take we about 30 minute and do not require any tool , just the small alan wrench that come with the hard wear . the espresso color -lrb- which be a dark chocolate brown -rrb- match the crib perfectly and all the piece be in great shape . I leave the wheel off just because of personal preferance and think this piece of furniture will be perfect for my little one . I do buy a replacement contoured change pad since the one that come with the set it very thin and flimsy . +968 Baby POS 5 buy they for my granddaughter and they be very good quality . I buy these and another pair at the same time . +229 Baby POS 5 i just buy these at k mart and the kid shoe be all buy one get one free this week . +777 Baby POS 5 I love this sleeper blanket . my son be 6 month old and a big boy weigh 22 # and be 28 inch . I buy the large blanket and when I open the package it look huge , so I order a medium . he use the medium for about a month and then I just recently put he in the large . he stay so warm at night with just a long or short sleeve onesie on under the blanket sleeper . I like that it have a v neck so it doesnt get tight around he neck . and the zipper be upside down be great for quick diaper change . I will buy the blanket sleeper with the leg hole for he next . he be such a wiggle worm when he sleep and this blanket sleeper be great in the way that it stay with he as he move . this be a great purchase and I will recommend this to any new parent . +151 Baby NEU 3 I be not sure what mesh really mean , there be not description , fleece be not available in large size , so I purchase it anyway . I be a bit disappointed . how be this suppose to keep my child warm ? it be a thin cloth with large hole in it . so , if you be look for warmth , definitely look for the fleece version . I be go to stitch some fleece on the back so it will keep my kid warm . I would return it if my mother have not take it out and wash it already ... +286 Baby NEU 3 this be super adorable , and fit you shoulder well , but it be not very absorbent for baby who have excessive spit up . +712 Baby NEU 3 this bib be much more comfortable for the baby than a plastic bib . I agree with the other reviewer that the neck hole be quite large -lrb- which can be fix easily with the velcro closure -rrb- and the bib itself be very short . I have have it since my son be about 8 month old , and the pocket come right at the level of the high chair tray-which then smash the pocket shut . it be a very good length for the travel type high chair\/booster seat though . for a cloth bib , it clean very well . I clean it by rub it with a soapy washcloth and rinsing . it dry by the next feeding . it have pill with this cleaning method , but that do not bother I . so far nothing have stain it , which be impressive . I do not find just rinse it to be a very effective way to clean it . my biggest problem with this bib -lrb- and many other -rrb- be the velcro . the pocket do not stay shut and my son can easily rip the bib right off when he be tire of wear it . Banana also get on the velcro the first time we use the bib and it be still there many cleaning later . I would not buy this bib again mainly because of the velcro . snap closure would have be much better . +371 Baby POS 4 the outfit be very adorable it fit perfect the only thing i do like be it do come with match pants +226 Baby POS 5 this carseat saver be great . it protect the car interior wonderfully . I would recommend this to anybody who use carseat . +10 Baby POS 5 I buy this for my 14 month old who like to swing a leg over the crib rail like she be try to get out . I hope this keep she from be able to climb out for a while . also , it give she extra warmth without have to worry about keep a blanket on top of she . +200 Baby POS 5 keep all of you little one new clothes clean when they start eat food . wash well . no shrinkage or fading +869 Baby NEG 1 I want to love this . but at least the one we get be not great . the green trim around the edge of this bib start come apart from the bib within 2 use . also lime green color from trim around neckline bleed onto dd 's onesie because the trim get wet during a feeding . +891 Baby POS 5 I recently purchase two of these dex Baby Dura bib . I love the way the snap pocket be design to keep a pocket shape . it actually catch all the food that miss my toddler 's mouth . the size be just right for this stage . my toddler be 20 month and the bib fit well at she lap and behind the tray of she chair . the pocket do not get mash together . also the material be so easy to wash down at the end of a meal . I unsnap the pocket and wash it out in the sink . it be so much easier to wash a flat surface than the inside of a pocket that be stitch together . I would recommend this bib style to any of my friend . +767 Baby POS 5 these be awesome for on the go . you do not have to put a messy dirty bib back in you bag , just toss and go ! +380 Baby POS 5 I buy this for my daughter and use it all the time . the rain setting work wonder -- she could sleep just about anywhere with those sound lull she to sleep . I would highly recommend this ! Great for trip too ! +491 Baby POS 5 as we all know , you be suppose to put you baby to sleep on he back to help prevent sid . the SleepSack be a great product ! it keep baby nice and warm , yet you do not have to worry about a blanket . and there be space down in the bottom for he foot so he be not too restricted . also , the great thing be that it zip from top to bottom , so you do not have a big zipper poke baby in the face . +585 Baby POS 4 I have another jj Cole bib and order this item to add another to my rotation . I be a little disappointed when I receive it as the material be quite think compare to my original bib -lrb- which I purchase at a brick and mortar store -rrb- . now that I have use it though , it work well and clean up easily . it do stain a bit with certain food -lrb- carrot , blueberry , etc. -rrb- but that be to be expect . overall , it be a very usable and convenient bib . the size be right -- cover he top half nicely -lrb- baby be 8 month -rrb- and the neck be adjustable so we 'll be able to use it for a long time . +849 Baby POS 4 I purchase the large swimmus -lrb- 22-30lbs -rrb- because my 16 month old just reach the 22lbs pound range . I return it to purchase the same in medium -lrb- 15-22lb -rrb- because my son be build very thin and have no tush . the medium fit well and I think it will still accommodate he for awhile . even if it do not and I have to re-purchase the large , it be still cheaper than have to buy a pack of disposable swim diaper . +132 Baby POS 5 my daughter , she love this musical mobile . it have long music also have a light . it have a remode for you to turn on and off music . I love this . +949 Baby POS 5 love this , perfect for summer . be worried it would not hold up well , per other review , but so far so good . will buy one in the next size up ! +2 Baby POS 5 we have use halo sleepsack for we son for a long time now . I be always a little weary of these early walker sleepsack as I like the idea of he foot be cover and cozy . however , once we move to a warmer climate my son be too warm in he normal fleece halo sleepsack . I figure the early walker sleepsack would be great because it would be kinda like have a blanket on and stick you foot out to stay comfortable temperature wise . so I buy two of these and love they ! my son be 15 month and tall - 32 inch - and these fit he great . he wear the size large\/12 -18 month with some room to grow . it do drag on the ground a bit , but not to the point of trip he up . love these ! I wish they make they in a cotton version also . +416 Baby POS 5 love that the bib cover a large area and come in many cute design . also , the material be super soft and absorbent . love it ! +739 Baby POS 5 I love , love , love the Summer Infant Bibbity . it catch the mess and be dishwasher safe . I rinse it off during the day and toss it in the dishwasher in the evening . no muss , no fuss . buy it , you 'll like it . +537 Baby POS 5 these be such wonderful bib for a teething\/slobbering baby . they be thin and have great plain color to match each of she outfit . they be great as a waterproof bib you need for you little one . would highly recommend these . +645 Baby POS 5 material be light and good quality . better than expect . I love it , and my daughter leave it on ! it be beautiful too ! +908 Baby POS 5 this rack help I organize all my bottle and accessory . I have Dr. brown bottle , which come with a lot of gadget . I can easily place all my 6 bottle on this one rack . absolutely love it . and it be really easy to clean . neat and convenience . +235 Baby POS 5 we have be use the standard child lock throughout we house but we have a few drawer where the countertop overhung too much and we could not get we finger in between to unlock the drawer . these magnet lock work perfectly . I would like to put these throughout the house if they be cheaper . they work really well but its a good idea to order some extra magnet key . my wife keep lose they throughout we house and we get lock out of we drawer ! +452 Baby POS 5 the bib be well make and great for use through several feeding . they will be handy when we travel so we do not have to bring several bib for a couple of day . +771 Baby POS 5 I love these sleep bag !!! I do not have to worry about my baby get tangled in a blanket and she can still stand up in the crib when she wake up . I wish I have these with my other kid . these be a dream come true ! +344 Baby POS 5 I buy it for my 6-month old son . he do not like a bib make with silicone . it be water proof , soft , easy to clean and convenient when we be dine out . great purchase !! +422 Baby POS 5 this be we first time travel with we little one , but I can not even imagine have to have carry two carseat and all we carry on and manage a wander 2 year old and a bossy 4 year old . for the time where we have to unstrap the seat to get on the plane , I be eternally grateful for the strap make it so easy to get through the rest of the airport . a MUST BUY for everyone with little one !! +415 Baby POS 4 I love this jumper , however it do have area that can be approve . its a `` free standing '' jumper , so you do not have to confine you baby to only doorway or worry if a jumper will meet the height of a doorway . though this item do not come with any toy or tray , I be glad that it do not because it really give my 5 month old son the freedom to move around without be distract . the jumper retract a lot more than other bouncer I have see and baby do not have to use much effort to get this thing go . once they realize this , it be nothing but fun and excitement . check out a few `` you Tube '' video on jolly jumper , you will not see any unhappy baby . the only area I dislike , be actually put he in the jolly jumper . you have to unclip the seat -lrb- if you be look at the picture I be speaking of the blue bar from the chain that it hang by . -rrb- you have to lay the baby down and place he in the seat as though you put on a pair of pants . my son get a little agitate by this and once he be agitate enough , forget the jumper because he patience have be worn . other than that , I love it : -rrb- +363 Baby NEU 3 I buy this sleep sack for my 6 mo old baby . it be a good weight for the cooler spring evening , but be too heavy for daytime napping . I be a little disappointed with the size . the medium say up to 12 month , but my baby -lrb- who be 27.25 in -rrb- do not have much room to grow into it . I also find the armhole to be a little snug -lrb- my baby be in the 50th percentile on weight for she age -rrb- . all in all I think I would love this since I really like the fleece version , but the cotton version be not what I expect . +810 Baby POS 5 I be a bit addict to leg warmer for my kid , and be always look for cute new pattern . these be adorable ! the blue be very dark , and go well with black or blue clothes ; I love find baby item that be not pastel ! I buy these for my son when he be 2 month old , and he still wear they now at 5 month . I look forward to get more use out of they as the weather cool off more ! +144 Baby NEU 3 this hat be pretty cute . I wish it have a strap to keep it from fly off when the wind pick up . +207 Baby NEG 2 these be not soft . . also they do not soak properly ... I will not buy these again ... I realize later that since most part of the bib be embroidered , it be not functional as bib as the embroidered part do not soak well . . +365 Baby POS 4 the boppy be so nice for my newborn to lay on and I could prop he up with it . he love tummy time with it and it work great to have he awake while on it . I know it be a breastfeed pillow but I do not really use it as that very often . I nurse off and on but mostly pump so that be most of it but when I do nurse , it do not seem to help very much with position , etc. . I still think it be a great baby purchase but if you use it simply for nursing , I do not think you will use it much . especially after you get the hang of it , you will not need it anymore . I enjoy this purcahse and would recommend it . great for a 0-6 month old ! +255 Baby POS 5 I get so many compliment when I put they on my 4 month old daughter . they be super cute and have plenty room to grow . the color go with almost anything in she wardrobe , she get lot of compliment when wear these adorable leg warmer ! +149 Baby POS 4 we purchase 2 newborn-size Halo swaddle sleepsack . one be solid blue fleece and this be the other . I love the dog print material ! the sleepsack be great until my son grow out of it ! and while , I understand that grow be natural , the other solid blue nb-size fleece sleepsack still fit for a little while longer . my only wish be that the size be consistent . otherwise , it be a great product and my newborn never sleep without it ! +578 Baby POS 5 my wife and I order these and be extremely happy with the quality of the material and finish . the cover be easy to use even with a newborn who be kick and scream ! the leg gusset really do prevent leak and we son be very comfortable in they . he be a relatively small baby at 6.5 lb but the x-small fit he perfectly and we expect it to last as he grow through 12 lb . +820 Baby POS 4 the medium sleep sack be just what I need for the upcome fall night . Pefect for over onesy or light pj . for some reason mine arrive and smell like gasoline . I have to wash it three time to get the smell out . +173 Baby POS 4 it be a decent bottle dry rack , but be careful when place glass bottle on the little beam . I have the classic Evenflo bottle -lrb- 8oz size -rrb- that I use only for warm milk . when I go to place one on this rack , it almost topple over -lrb- have nothing else on it originally -rrb- . after consistent use of place glass bottle on this rack , I can see the little beam wear out quickly and need to replace the rack . there be also no leverage to tilt the rack for drain water . I have have to place the include tray -lrb- show on product image above -rrb- to prop up the rack just enough that it 'll drain directly into the sink . I do not regret buy this rack , because I also purchase a OXO silicone dry mat to help with the work load . between all the anti-colic bottle piece -lrb- aside from the glass bottle -rrb- and breast pump piece I 'll be routinely clean , both item be a must have . +529 Baby POS 5 I feel like I have buy or receive just about every bib on the market and these be by far my favorite ! they be very absorbent but nothing seem to leak through - my baby 's clothes be always perfectly dry underneath . and that be say a lot because he `` dribble '' excessively while take he bottle ! the bib be soft - not stiff or crinkly like so many other waterproof bib . they remain waterproof & absorbent even after many , many wash -lrb- the one I buy 2 year ago for my older son still work perfectly ! -rrb- I love that they have snap rather than velcro because that mean they do not snag all of the other clothes in the wash when I forget to connect the two end together . all that and they be pretty cute - what more could you ask ? I give they 5 star with no reservation !! diff --git a/dev/Bag.txt b/dev/Bag.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..1d3be0454cd1dcd9be78c59e1ab0848397ea639f --- /dev/null +++ b/dev/Bag.txt @@ -0,0 +1,100 @@ +852 Bag POS 5 the bag be very comfortable and easy to tote -lrb- I be a bus , rather than bicycyle , traveller -rrb- , and the convenience of the pocket and division be excellent . I use it to carry book , file , and other teaching material , and its construction relieve the pressure on my less-than-perfect back . highly recommend . +760 Bag NEG 2 I hope this would do as state in the other review , but I be disappoint with several thing : it do not catch fine dust -lrb- mdf -rrb- at all because the dust just blow into the air from the air movement create by the saw blade ; if any of you wood be green , the moisture cause it to collect in the bag entrance and just stop all sawdust from get into the bag ; if you remove you blade guard to do dado and rabbet cut , the air flow that usually flow down from the saw blade be minimize already and attach this bag cause most of the airflow to go up around the blade along with most of the dust . if you use dry hardwood and little or no mdf or green wood , this will help to catch maybe 60 % - 70 % a of the sawdust , but I find myself do a lot of cut that require I to remove the blade guard which make this product almost useless - maybe 20 % of the dust be collect while the rest be throw into the air . I really think that the biggest problem be with the design of the lower blade cover in the saw design because it be not smooth and only the driest and heaviest sawdust get blow into this bag . Mark I down as disappointed and back to use my shop vac . +946 Bag POS 5 I be unsure that this case would fit my Sony Mavica fd90 because the only dimension I could find be a little smaller than the camera . I order it anyway as a carry case for the camera and a few floppy just on short trip , instead of the case in which I carry all the cable , battery charger , etc. . this case be perfect even if a little snug because of the lens protrude . the inside pocket give great protection for the camera , and the zip-down front be perfect for the floppy , and maybe even a extra battery ... or a personal item or two . I be glad I trust -lrb- the website -rrb- ... to come through again . they be right as always . +8 Bag POS 4 a pleasure to use . relatively quiet . Belt track flawlessly . adequate power . can clamp upside down in a wood worker 's bench vice to use as a stationary sander . dust collector work well and be usually not in the way . Wish it come with it be own case . all in all I be very happy with the purchase . +61 Bag POS 5 I have now purchase 2 box of these bag . they do not rip and be very sturdy . I have a large dog and these bag work great . +718 Bag NEG 2 purchase the Garrett Metal Detector bag a few day ago . very disappoint with the bag . my Garrett ace 250 metal detector be 44 '' long on the shortest lenght . the bag be only 42 '' long . the metal detector be too long for the bag . guess it would fit if I be to take it apart but ... that seem silly & useless . would not have purchase the bag if I would have know it would not fit unless I take the metal detector apart . what a rip off ! Update ... I would like to say that the company stand behind it be product . they email a response on my review and be very concerned that I be disappoint with the bag . the company make thing right and in this day and time that very seldom happen . most of the time it be all about sell the product . but not this company . it be important to they that the customer be satisfy . I must say , I be satisfied now . +9 Bag POS 5 all my friend could say be `` be do you get that Amazon.com bag ? '' . it be very durable and a great gift idea . what else will Amazon.com sell ? thanks Amazon.com . +79 Bag POS 5 very nice sander . variable speed , very stable belt tracking , quiet . only negative be that it do not come with its own case , and for the price it really should . these belt dander get pretty dirty , and for outside job extra belt be often need so a case would be nice . the belt tracking need only a initial adjustment for the first belt - very nice . it appear quite well build . +441 Bag POS 5 I buy this bag to use for my second function shoot -lrb- wedding - aaaaccckkk !!! -rrb- because I want to bring backup of everything -lrb- body , flash , etc -rrb- it arrive two day before the event and I be so jazz ... it work perfectly and have a great layout of small pocket and a flexible array of lens and body slot give the velcro setup option . I fit a ton of battery , two body , two flash , three lens , a diffuser , a charger , and still have room for powerbar and water ! I feel more like a pro have all in this one bag -lrb- even though I be not ! -rrb- than two smaller , unmatching one ... it be a confidence booster for sure and when you be try to improve you shooting and instill faith in you client , every little bit help . great bag . highly recommend .

I would eventually like a Tamron or something along that line but for the price , I want to be able to browse until I find just the right one . this product suit the basic bag need well . it be not huge or fancy , just a good basic bag . it have one front pocket that will hold battery , memory card , etc. and one pocket in the `` lid '' that hold a lens cloth or other small item . it accommodate the stock lens that come on my camera but I do not think would fit a much longer lense . for the price , -lrb- which be very reasonable -rrb- I would buy this bag again . +592 Bag POS 5 first , I do not have a dust collection system , but do have a shop vac and the Bosch dust bag be still the 2nd best of my 3 option , and probably the best option for the money period . the bag have a pretty good capacity , and in itself do not seem to cause any clog in the saw 's exhaust port that would not naturally occur . it clamp securly to the port and its simple to use . I preffer it over hook up my shop vac because it do not draw any more power , be super easy to hook up , and be easier than trip over my shop vac that always get in the way . this do a very good job at collect dust and I would definitely recomend it to anyone not use a collection system . +434 Bag POS 5 very nice camera bag . even though it be not on LowePro 's list , the new Canon a610 fit into this case nicely . plenty of room for a memory card or two , but 4 spare aa battery might be push it . +216 Bag POS 5 I have use Makita Belt sander in a commercial environment for year . I also use Porter Cable . I be pleasantly surprise when I receive my new Sander . it be much more stable with a lower center of gravity than the older model and far more stable than the Porter Cable . I also like the long cord . +660 Bag POS 5 it be weight and balance make it as easy to control as a pad sander but with much more power . I totally agree with the other very positive review of this sander . +707 Bag POS 5 this be a great camcorder bag . it have three main section . the first be the main compartment you house you camcorder in -lrb- this main section be divide into two section by a adjustable barrier so that almost any size camcorder can fit in the bag without move around . -rrb- the camcorder fit into the main compartment with enough room to put in my camera and voice recorder . this main section and the pouch attach to this main section be hide under the flap which be close by just a click . the pouch hold all of my tape and film that I need , with room to spare . and the bottom section of the bag hold my battery , charger , all of my wire with enough room to put in a lot more . this bottom section be detachable so all you have to carry around be what you need for recording . to top all of that off this bag be water proof and have shock absorb foam which make you feel very safe that you camera and camcorder will not be damage if you get stick walk in rain or happen to bump the bag . the bag come with a warranty , which of course cover nothing but the bag . +951 Bag POS 5 excellent tool . very maneuverable . attachment make it versatile . noise level be good . Belt tracking adjustment be accurate . the knuckle guard portion of the handle seem a little skimpy but it have not create any problem . boxy design allow you to lie the tool on its back and use it to sharpen chisel and scraper . the graphite platen get hot after extend use but the tool have not overheate . I would recommend this sander to anyone that be consider a 3 x 21 . +605 Bag POS 5 this be a excellent sander . I really work this machine and it just keep on go . Brace you foot , hang on tight and keep on move ; this be a powerful sander . I usually sand with three grits and when change belt it be rarely necessary to touch the tracking adjustment . the 4 inch footprint be more resistant to tip than my 3 inch sander and ergonomics be perfect for I . con : there be 2 flat spot on the metal front roller 180 degree apart which cause a barely discernible bump but it be not really a problem . it just sometimes make it hard to tell if a belt be about to separate or not . recommend . +542 Bag NEG 1 I be not even sure where to start ... well , its not a back pack . its a carry case with handle and a shoulder strap . the strap be uncomfortable , skinny , and way too long for even a large human male . the damn thing do not fit my detector without break it down . after break it down the battery pack and headphone do not fit in the pocket . I almost lose my battery pack and control unit on the trail because they fall out of the way too small unable to zip pouch . my fishing pole may fit , if I keep it . at this point im so frustrated I want nothing to do with garrett , optics planet , or Amazon . do not waste you money . +7 Bag NEU 3 well ... it look bigger in the picture . be Bosch I would have expect the material to be a little more durable . it do catch 60 to 70 percent of the sawdust as advertised but you have to empty the bag often . I feel it be not worth what I pay -lrb- $ 12 and change -rrb- . six or seven dollar would be a good price for this item . +285 Bag POS 4 good heavy duty material and suit the function well . keep my cord -lrb- s -rrb- neat and tidy !!! I will give it four star cause there be always room for improvement ! +225 Bag POS 5 this thing be great , and be less than half the price of a bag that Sony be sell with my camcorder . fit my dcr-sr300 perfectly with all its accessory . save yourself a few buck and go with Samsonite . +470 Bag POS 5 great product . hold those tangly and well use cable all in one place . convenient to order from amazon . great product . +763 Bag POS 5 bag be very rugged , hold all the stuff I need it for . the only thing I wish it have be a way to put a small lock on it , not really to secure the tool , because you can just walk away with the bag but to keep people from borrow anything behind my back . +137 Bag POS 5 great camera bag . allow I to carry two camera body with grip , wide assortment of lens , filter and stuff all in one bag . of course it get heavy , but if you need to carry a bunch of equipment , this be a great camera bag . +670 Bag NEG 1 I have hardly use this little puppy . I nick the belt very slightly sand a piece of aluminum , replace the belt and it will not track properly or adjust now . I 'll update this when I have call Bosch , but I have have other problem recently with a 1375a grinder , and Bosch be not very helpful . overall this should be a great sander accord to design and spec , but it seem so delicate as to be entirely unsuitable for anything other than a ornament . for now , I be not buy another Bosch tool and I be create lot of colorful language when I think about the company . Make sure you read the poor review about Bosch before you commit you hard earn dollar to this company , I do not think they be a very honest company with much integrity at this point . +299 Bag POS 5 the bag hold all we camera equipment plus film and many other extra . I recomm this camera bag for those people who need a small camera bag but with a lot of space . +925 Bag POS 5 I find this case to be everything I want and at a good price . plenty of storage room and well build . I be look to buy another camera and this case will work out great . +467 Bag POS 5 I buy this camera bag at the same time I buy a Canon Powershot a20 . I be impressed with the quality construction - while I would not hurl the bag against a brick wall without some trepidation , I be feel confident that drop it will not harm my camera too terribly much . there be a lot of padding here . the actual camera be a lot smaller than the bag proper , so I appreciate that the divider in the main compartment velcro into place , ensure that I can give the machine as snug a fit as I want , leave the rest of the ample space for assorted extra . +922 Bag POS 5 after my other set of Jumper Cables go out . I buy the biggest set I could find , 20 Foot 2-Gauge Professional Jumper Cables and these be not cheap !!! I start to look for a bag to store these in , so I could keep they nice and like new . I find this one on Amazon and get it in . just Roll the Cables up , good and tight and have no problem put they in . bag be sturdy enough to keep they like new for many year to come . I highly recommend this bag !!!!!!!!!! +153 Bag POS 5 I want a bag to hold all of my video camera 's cable and accessory , not to mention the battery charger . however , have make several trip to Disney World this year I have discover that once you have arrive all you really want to carry around with you be the camera . the rest of the stuff stay in the hotel room until it be need . that be where this bag fit the bill . not only will my video camera -lrb- Sony dcr-trv30 -rrb- fit into the top bag , so will my digital camera -lrb- Olympus 2020z -rrb- , it be snug , but not to the point of endanger either camera . the top bag 's zippered front pouch have room for a spare set of battery -lrb- for both camera -rrb- , four dv size tape and extra memory card . the bottom bag will hold both of the battery charger , manual , cable , and still have room for more battery and tape . the LowePro web site have information as to what will fit into each of they bag , which I find to be very useful during my initial research . they bag be very well make and have a lifetime warranty ! +479 Bag POS 5 when you invest hundred of dollar on tool you want the best protection and convenience and this be exactly what I be look for in a bag for my MAX sn890rh nailer . as other have state , this bag stand up on its own due to the rigid bottom . make of heavy duty material , small pouch inside the bag for hold you oil , pocket on the outside for hold glove or whatever you need . I order mine from Lewis contractor supply and they price be a few cent cheaper than Amazon 's price and it be not the side-zip model that someone else have get . glad I buy it and worth every penny . +56 Bag POS 5 it probably be even more useful for a contractor ; but even for diy'er like I it save a lot of time to have all the screw , nail , bit , etc you may need at the work place and not have to run back to the shop\/garage whenever you need something not in you nail bag . it also allow you to separate they for easy identification and access . I buy two different configuration and use they routinely . +59 Bag POS 4 good product , have 1 before . the only prblem be the 4inch cut in the canvas on the bottom of the bag . look like a razor cut . could of happen in shipping . bring the bag to a local shoe repairman and have a piece of leather glue and sewd to the bottom of the bag . be go to have this do any way , because the only down fall to this product be that the bottom wear away in about a year and ahalf and hole start to appear around the conner and at the base of the screw driver holeder . beside that as a a\/c repair man the bag work well and other bag on the market do not have all the pocket and screwdiver holeder on the inside . in short iwould buy this product agian . +284 Bag POS 4 this be my 3rd lowepro product . fit my g5 and 420ex flash with extra battery and memory card . I take this bag and throw it into my backpack or Nova 5 carrier . do not fit with the omnus bounce attach but be very compact and keep gear safe ! +889 Bag POS 4 this sander work very well , the only con be that the shoe protector run off the metal shoe and tear itself away from the shoe . otherwise work well . +736 Bag POS 4 except for the dust collection bag , this be a great belt sander . it be light and managable yet still have more than enough power . the ergonomics be good -lrb- the hand grip area could be a bit bigger -- those of you with bear paw for hand , beware -rrb- . the dust collection bag be not so good though . the bag collect just as much dust as my Porter Cable . but empty the bag be a real hassle . there be no zipper . instead there be a cheap plastic clip .

Square shape make it easy to get up alongside wall . variable speed dial and lock button allow you to run the thing and put you hand anywhere on the sander . lot of speed and power . Easy on the hand . the dust bag attachment seem to work well , but be anything really dust proof ? I also put this thing upside down in a vise -lrb- with a towel around the vise jaw -rrb- and use it as a stationary sander . and for those who care , it be not make in Taiwan or China by underpaid foreign worker , but in Switzerland . hopefully by well-paid immigrant worker . I be not a contractor , so I haven ` nt torture test this thing , but if you be a homeowner who want to have the kid fight over you tool when you be go , or simply want to have a impressive estate sale , you can not beat this sander . it be way better to buy this baby and have it for life , rather than buy 50 buck sander from the hardware store every few year . +436 Bag POS 5 I buy this bag to hold a cordless tool set and it fit the bill perfectly . it be large enough to hold all the tool easily -lrb- drill , see , light and vacuum -rrb- , plus the pouch on the inside and outside be great for hold bit , blade , driver - everything that go with you tool . the construction be sturdy , there have be no stress carry the tool load I have put in it - look like it be build to last a lifetime . +330 Bag NEU 3 fine bag . hold my Olympus d-460 -lrb- and manual -rrb- , 4 extra smart card , 8 aa battery , my kodak photolife k1000 aa battery charge kit , various cable , and FlashPath 3.5 ' floppy adaptor with ease . +113 Bag POS 5 I need to resurface a cupped and warped porch deck , a bigger job than my pc rotary sander could handle . I decide on this sander . I initially buy a Ryobi from Home Depot figure I would not need to use it a lot , but then return it unopened after I picture myself use a break down crappy tool in a couple year . after read many review I decide on this sander . I be really happy I pay $ -lrb- ... -rrb- buck more for a much higher quality tool . track be perfect . power be very good . dust collection be UNBELIEVABLE ! after a few minute on the porch I realize there be not any sawdust , yet the paint be come up . a few more minute and I check the bag ... the bag be nearly half full ! it capture almost everything !

I purchase the Lowepro 40aw after research they on the internet and check out the lowepro site . I originally buy the 40 aw to use with my Toshiba PDR M-5 Digital still Camera . I could fit either the still camera and all the accessory -- cable , filter , you name it , or my Canon zr10 with \* almost \* all the gear . but I love it so much I buy the Lowepro Digital beltpack AW for the zr10 . they be high quality camera bag and the Digital variety come with a special lining that will not scratch sensitive lcd screen ! lot of extra little pocket for tape , smart card , cable , and charger too . the outside be soft yet rugged and well construct . I think my high dollar digital camera investment feel safe and sound in this great camera bag ! +140 Bag POS 5 I buy this Bosch at the beginning of a major remodeling project to replace a tired , 30 year old ... sander . I have not be disappoint . for two year I fnish molding , level countertop , strip old paint , sand out difficult flooring stain and bevelled edge with it , and it be still run like new . it be light enough to use all day , the belt never need adjust or wander off , and the variable speed feature make it easy to set it for the job at hand . and the dustcatcher really work . a excellent choice for the pro or handyman . +419 Bag POS 5 this bag be no different than any other product that i have purchase from bucket boss . from the quality of material use , the forthought of the inside compartment to the shoulder strap , this product be perfect for the `` neat freak . '' i have just order the bucket boss vertical tool organizer . my past acquisition from bucket boss have be the 56 pocket 5 gal . bucket organizer , the parachute bag -lrb- 3 -rrb- and bib apron . the only downside to this bag be the outside pocket be too small . other than that i still rate it 5 star . +248 Bag POS 5 this bag be great . I use it toghter with a tamrac backpack . but i prefere this one . it be nice and big . and easy to adjust to you need . I use this bag when i travel by plane as my handluggage . it fit my basic travel camera gear and some other stuff like a book and a bottle of water . the strap be good and do not hurt . +920 Bag POS 4 this be a quality bag and fully capable of hold long jumper cable . I purchase a 4 gauge - 16ft jumper cable set and this little bag can handle it and more . I like this bag because it be quality be excellent and there be enough room to truly carry any length of jumper cable and even some small handtool inside . the only negative be that its handle be kind of `` cheesy '' and could be make with a little more heft to they . this should not keep one from buy this product because this bag be build to last - probably take it to my grave . overall , I like it and think it would be a most excellent and practical gift for anyone . I give this a four-star rating because I just do not like the `` cheesy '' look and feel of the handle . +102 Bag POS 5 what a great buy ! this bag work great for either a digital still camera or mini camcorder . I purchase the Lowepro 40aw after research they on the internet and check out the lowepro site . I originally buy the 40 aw to use with my Toshiba PDR M-5 Digital still Camera . I could fit either the still camera and all the accessory -- cable , filter , you name it , or my Canon zr10 with \* almost \* all the gear . but I love it so much I buy this bag too -- Lowepro Digital beltpack AW -- for the zr10 . they be high quality camera bag and the Digital variety come with a special lining that will not scratch sensitive lcd screen ! lot of extra little pocket for tape , smart card , cable , and charger too . the outside be soft yet rugged and well construct . I think my high dollar digital camera investment feel safe and sound in this great camera bag ! +778 Bag POS 5 this saw be the best I have ever have ! as a wood worker of some 50 year , I wish I have have it long ago . the cut result in such a smooth edge or side , like it be already run over the jointer . and the blade be so sharp , with a rather thin kerf . also , the saw be not at all heavy , and can be move easily . +886 Bag POS 4 do not plan to keep battery or lens along with you camera in this bag . so tight , sometimes camera switch turn on when you insert camera in bag . Adequate if no accessory . weather protection cover a big plus in the rain . +979 Bag NEU 3 I buy the Tamrac 5608 pro 8 because it easily hold hold two pro size slr body -lrb- Nikon f3 with short-ish lens and the 8 aa battery power md4 motor drive attach -rrb- and 4 additional lens , but its active career in my ` photo-arsenal ' be short live . my main gripe with this bag be with the seam use to join the bag to the main zipper -lrb- it be not tape over and will lead to inevitable fraying and zipper jam -rrb- and the tripod holder be a complete joke -lrb- only good for the very lightest duty tripod -rrb- . if you have a bunch of filter , you will need to get a wallet-style holder to hold they safely and securely . for the price , this bag be quite the bargain as comparable product will set you back at least twice as much - but in retrospect I think I should have shell out more in the beginning . I end up trade up to a LowePro backpack . +945 Bag POS 5 this bag be perfect for the Sony trv series of digital camcorder . I be able to fit all accessory plus two spare tape in the very convenient lid compartment . this include the ac\/dc power cord and charger , the remote control , the a-v cable and the documentation that come with the camera . this bag be rugged , good look , and provide excellent padded protection in the camera compartment . a must have ! +115 Bag NEG 1 Miss lead title of product . the product do not come with jumper cable . though it clearly state Cable and Tool Bag . the title should say Cable\/tool Bag . they be advertise thief ... read the fine print I guess !!! mother f'er !!! +968 Bag POS 5 after own this wonderful roomy tote bag , I never use any other pocketbook I own ! it have the padded compartment inside -lrb- for a laptop -rrb- , but I use it to store bottled drink and snack to bring to work ... and sometimes my 6 year old 's toy when travel . I use the mesh pocket inside also . I store my pillbox inside and it be easy access for you lipstick . I have bang it around for almost a year now and it look brand new ! the outside zippered pocket be big enough for my eyeglass case and cell phone . I be buy 3 more for Christmas present ! +229 Bag NEU 3 big chip and coarse grain be pretty well capture , but I have to tape the bag mouth to my table see dust outlet , even with the bag 's spring steel jaw , to keep the finer stuff from exit around the mouth . still , for a outdoors location where the fine stuff will not be too bothersome , it work quite well . +777 Bag NEU 3 I buy this bag the day i buy my Panasonic camcorder . the camcorder fit nicely inside without a lot of room for it to jiggle around , which be good . there be enough pocket to hold practically all of the accessory I have as well . in the main compartment , where you will store you camcorder , there be a little zippered pouch under the top flap that can be use to store extra battery or a light . on the inside of the main compartment you will find two padded divider with velcro . one have a deep U shape which easily accomodate the viewfinder 's eyepiece . the other be a square shape . you use these to pad both end of you camcorder . if you camcorder be small enough , you will get extra storage space between the divider and the inside of the end pocket . I store my camcorder 's remote in one of these area . there be five zippered pocket on the outside of this bag . a flat on on the back with one gussetted end , one on either end of the bag and a large one in front with a small zippered pocket . the end pocket be large enough to hold the ac adapter\/battery charger for my camcorder , the A\/V cable and the cord and cable for the charger . the pocket I like the most be the front one . when you open it , you will see a small mesh zipper pocket and four elastic holder . you can store extra tape , a pen\/pencil , a small notebook , etc. in there . when I know I be go out with the camcoder , I do not need to take a purse with I . this bag have enough space to hold my camcorder , the accessory , extra tape and battery and my wallet and key . my only complaint and the reason for score only three star be the zipper . the top zipper have a tendancy to split and catch on the inside fabric which can be a pain . +151 Bag POS 5 read the spec on the Tamrac pro 12 and see it live and up close be two different thing . this bag be HUGE -- fully load it become a major piece of luggage and make a great carry on bag . the Tamrac name be legend among similar product . I have use they bag , all size , for over 20 year now and they get better and better . from the material use to the construction of the bag you equipment be safe ! a padded cell would offer LESS security . Great Tamrac feature include Lens bridge , moveable divider , memory card system & battery slot , it be well organize . room to grow too with six in side slot for extra lens , flash , etc. . long enough you can leave a longer telephoto zoom attach to you camera . if you can actually load this bag up and run out of room you just need another bag ! or simply take out that kitchen sink ! +286 Bag NEG 1 simple to install and pretty effective . the only draw back be that sliver of scap wood can easily block the `` sawdust tunnel '' that feed the dust into the catcher . empty easily . +712 Bag POS 4 can not complain ... could use a divider or something on the inside ... most item just get jumble up ... have say that , the large space do accomodate larger item like 18v cordless drill , hammer , etc. . . +371 Bag POS 4 after get my new Canon , I go to LowePro 's site to find the perfect bag , have use they product for we previous camera . they camera matrix make this a snap . three model be list as the best fit , and I could only find this one locally -lrb- which I need , to try it out -rrb- . the 30 be quite large for my camera , but enable I to load it bottom-down , rather than on-edge like several of the other I try . when unzipped , you can access all storage area , include two small pouch in front for spare memory card -lrb- they would easily hold 6 cf card -rrb- . the bag have a cushion , fleece interior , with a separate small pocket for spare aa . the main storage area also come with a removable cushion divider which attach with velcro , so you can subdivide the camera area as you wish . when I be try the camera on-edge I use it , but once I place the camera in bottom-first , I do not need it . for the s1 there be quite a bit of room on top . another add feature be the all-weather cover which be hide in the outside back of the case . pull out , it fit over the case like a rainhat , keep you camera and other item dry . Pretty cool . the shoulder strap be removable and well-designed , and the case also have a triple velcro belt-loop affair , if you would like to hang it closer . this case be probably too large for I to attempt that , but I like have the option . the 25 be another case which should fit my Canon s1 , but since I could not find it locally I buy this case , and be please with it . Ritz Camera : $ 29.99 Amazon : $ 20.84 +226 Bag NEG 2 not sure where these tool bag be make , but they be not the quality of the original Bucket Boss bag . maybe they be knock-off make by some other company and then sell as the original ? probably should have return they , but just never get around to it . +10 Bag POS 5 we use this product in a cabinet shop and it hold up well to the daily use . Easy to use and maintain well . +200 Bag POS 5 I be very happy with this bag . it be big enough so I do not have to empty it every 2 minute . +869 Bag POS 5 very basic but so be the price . Works great for general family picture . will hold digital camera and a camcorder . would recommend . +891 Bag NEU 3 it be a nice enough bag , but the c3030 will not fit in it . do not buy it for this camera unless you enjoy send thing back . +767 Bag POS 5 I have burn my way through several beltsander , and actually this be the second Makita belt sander I have own . this sander be a workhorse ... you can use it all day , and it be still ready for more ! it be one of the quietest sander I have own -lrb- although none of they can truely be call `` qiuet '' -rrb- . but , my favorite feature of this sander be its ability to lay flat when it be turn upside down -lrb- this way it can be use as a temporary stationary sander -rrb- . +380 Bag POS 5 i be expect shipping to be much longer ; so i be bowl over at the tracking that say my makita 9903 beltsander be on it be way . i just spend a great afternoon put my new best tool through it be pace . i be a woman ... one accustom to hard work ... and even i be a little wary of the weight of this superb worker . after a few hour of tryout , i barely notice the weight ... it be well balanced and that account for the ease of use . at that , i never once let it go full weight on the dig fur i be trim down , and i do not get tired . the belt trim and bevel beautifully . i do not have a table saw and do not want one . i rip cut my lumber with a steady hand on my circular saw . however i need some wood center brace for under my new shed set on concrete . hard to get they as snug as this virgo want without a powerful belt sander to take off no more than about 1\/32 off the top . makita do just that uniformly and in a snap . darned nice dust collector . that puppy be jam . really do it be job . i do a ton of research before buy at the best price anywhere -lrb- and fast free shipping as well ! -rrb- i want to have one that can be use in a vice . when i pull this one out of the box i realize i will have to wait to make a wood frame myself for it ; my vice , big as it be not wide enough . also , i have to puzzle over just where to afix the vice side ... it will lay flat upside down , but grip the side may take some thinking . gouge be very possible with this puppy go full throttle , but just take a afternoon and some wood scrap and get use to the feel of this totally great little worker and you should have no trouble . when i gouge a bit i just do a descend light circular setdown and it clear right up . i start on a table tomorrow and be eager to use this hard worker . oh , and i notice the roller at the front be good-sized and i plan to use it to finish some large curve for a big treli i plan to build next month . this be gonna be one very use piece of equipment , for sure ! +491 Bag POS 5 the picture quality on this camera be pretty good . for most event , it have replace my slr -lrb- which be just too big and clunky otherwise -rrb- . it have a grid which allow you to focus on different item in you viewfinder , which can be very useful . however , if you be deal with a scene that have multiple focus point , the `` area focus '' grid start jump around , which I have be tell by other be somewhat annoying -lrb- do not bother I -rrb- . overall , while I ideally like control all my setting , I find that this camera be just ideal for any kind of set where you would want easy pocket portability . I would change one thing : the little flap that cover the lense seem pretty easy to move , and make I a little nervous about keep the camera in my pocket : I would personally prefer a hard cover like some Kodak flip camera or even the Olympus . but otherwise , I would highly recommend . +585 Bag POS 4 I really like this sander and have use it to sand a modest size deck -lrb- 9 ' x 20 ' -rrb- - lot of sand belt but the sander be flawless . do not like the bag so much but not a big deal either . I push this off my work table and break the front handle but be able to get a replacement for five buck at ereplacement dot com . I have use this upside down which be a unexpected feature base on its flat top . +849 Bag NEU 3 nice compact bag to hold all the necessity while travel . +132 Bag POS 4 awesome tool bag . perfect size for drill and other tool that I prefer to carry . Heavy , durable canvas and no problem w\/zipper as other reviewer have claim . only downfall be that bottom of bag will sag - use 2 piece of cardboard wrap in duct tape to keep from sag . +949 Bag POS 5 almost buy the variable speed but less powerful cousin . glad I do not . this unit work great . it be heavy so you will not want to do much vertical or overhead work . one reviewr comment that it wear out he worker and I can see why . a hour be the must I can go without a break . but you can get a lot of sand do in a hr with this tool . much quieter than my old Sears unit . dust collector work surprisingly well -lrb- but I wish they offer a vac attachment becasue at the rate this unit remove material you will have to empty bag every 10 min or sooner . probably 3 time faster than my 3 '' Sears and more stable with 4 '' footprint . my past tool have be Bosch , Milwaukee , and Dewalt . but I buy Makita 's top of line 18v saw and drill and be very impressed . buy this base on that experience and great review . very satisfy . +2 Bag POS 4 the picture in the catalog make the product appear bigger than it be actual size . if you think the one you want be big enough ... go bigger ! I wish I have . Quality be good . +416 Bag POS 5 since 2 '' dust exhaust port be standard on many tool and the wire loop on the bag easily clip on any round duct , I put one on my rigid portable table saw and another on my 20 year old Craftsman band see . both work great ! especially since no equivalent be avialable from either manufacturer . much better than a $ 100 + bottom catcher and easy to empty . +739 Bag NEU 3 I search the world over for a nice , inexpensive bag to bring to Japan , to be use as a carry-on for the plane , a purse , and a overnight bag , all in one trip . I have a couple of problem . First of all , the padding intend to keep a laptop out of harm way take up quite a bit of unnecessary space , when a laptop be not be use . secondly , as a purse , while easy to get into and out of -lrb- and water resistant , I might add ! -rrb- the strap be uncomfortable after be carry for more than a hour -- especially if there be anything of significant weight in the bag . but , on the whole , I be glad I buy the bag , and would do it again -- I would just put some padding on the strap before I leave ! -lrb- fit nicely in the overhead compartment of plane , train , bus , etc. -rrb- +537 Bag POS 5 this camera bag be a must have !!! it be roomy and very well design . highly recommend !!! +645 Bag POS 5 recently convert my rv 's power supply cord to one that plug into both the power source and plug into the rv . do not like try to stuff the cord into the ` rat-hole ' power cord storage box the manf use . I now have a 30 foot cord that be store where ever when not in use . I buy two of these bag for cord storage . they be a perfect fit for ` Parkpower 30RPCRV 30 amp rv right angle lock cordset ' from Amazon and other . +908 Bag POS 5 I snag one of these little bag a few year ago - at the time , it be include with a larger Bucket Boss bag as a promotion . when I visit the rifle range , I load the bag fairly heavily with ammunition , safety equipment , magazine , and a tripod . it be a very convenient way to keep my equipment organize , and the quality zipper and wire-rimmed opening at the top of the bag make access easy . the Bucket Boss Jr. be well build and easy to carry . if you be consider buy one , I highly recommend it ! +235 Bag POS 5 I be in dental school , and this bag be great ! it fit perfectly in my locker , and hold a lot . it can fit 2 typodont , and there be plenty of room to spare . +452 Bag NEU 3 I return the bag because it be too small for my camera and accessory . I purchase a larger bag from you . +771 Bag POS 5 after use this dust bag for month now , I be pleasantly surprise at how much dust the bag actually collect . in fact , it work better than I think it would . the capacity be quite good and you can use the saw quite a bit before have to empty the bag . do the bag collect as much as a shop vac attach to the saw or a dust collection system ? of course not , and it would be unreasonable to expect that it would . I be puzzle at some review that knock the product for not compare favorably to a true dust collection system . I use the bag on a Bosch 4100-09 unit and use both the stock and zero clearance insert . contrary to some reviewer , I have not find the bag to significantly restrict output airflow . at home I use a dust collection system , but on the road this bag work well and save cleanup time at the end of the job . I think if you keep you expectation reasonable , you will be satisfy with this dust bag . +344 Bag POS 4 the Tamrac System 3 camera bag be perfect for slr owner who also have one or two compact lens -lrb- e.g. , the typical 28-200mm or 70-300mm zoom lens -rrb- in addition to the lens attach to the camera , plus a small external flash . the bag be small compare to other slr gadget bag , but the inside can be partition in flexible way . it be also well-padded , both inside and outside . it also have lining pocket for thing like usb cable , camera body cap , lens cap , filter , etc. . at the front , there be a compartment for miscellaneous item such as film , memory card , pen , lens cleaning paper , etc. . hide behind this be a pull-out pouch for battery and memory card , plus a ID tag -lrb- kinda hard to write on , though -rrb- . you can also use the compartment this pouch be in to store film , etc , although stuff might fall out if you be not careful . at the back be another compartment , which I use to store the manual of my Nikon d70 . as you can see , this `` small '' bag be very versatile . in addition , you can get Tamrac 's add-on pouch and pocket to attach to the strap or the side of the bag , for additional storage . I look at many bag before settle on this one . it be compact and weigh about 1.5 pound , so it be material enough to withstand tough condition yet light enough for shoulder-use . as I mention it be also well padded and can accommodate extension . if you be the typical slr enthusiast with a total of 2-3 compact lens and\/or a small flash unit , you 'll find this bag a very good fit for you need . +422 Bag POS 5 I be quite satisfied with the product for its vast array of compartment . it also serve I quite well during a unexpected shower and my camera be well protect . the side and back pocket be rather small though , but overall a good product for the price you be pay +415 Bag POS 5 I just borrow this sander from my father inlaw to strip a bedroom set . I agree with the other reviewer . this be a great sander for the price . it be make in Switzerland and live up to swiss quality . it be well balanced and easy to use . it may not be a rolex but it be a fine piece of equipment . +363 Bag POS 5 and its rain resistant -lrb- get stick in the rain at practice a few time -rrb- , pad for drop protection and fit a boatload of stuff . Got my gamboy on one side and my digicam on the other . aa battery in the secret compartment , and money and stuff on the outside . +810 Bag POS 5 I want a camera bag that be not too big but would carry my camera and maybe another item ... a wallet , another quick-shot camera , cell phone or some camera accessory . this hold my Sony dsc-s75 digi-cam perfectly with room for my cell phone or my other small camera . have nice pocket and be well padded to protect you camera . well make and a good price . +144 Bag POS 5 I finally replace my Craftsman 4x24 which self-destruct after 25 year of faithful service . I be ask myself why I wait . the Makita have as much power , be smoother and more predictable . I use it to smooth out glueup panel for cabinet door . Belt tracking and run smoothly be very important factor for a flat door panel . this machine track smoothly with the grain , across the grain and at a angle to the grain . it be controllable one-handed . dust collection be superior to the Craftsman and other belt sander I have use in the past . the long cord -lrb- over 10 ' -rrb- be a joy . most of the time I do not need a extension cord . ergonomically , it be a ambidextrous dream . there be plenty of power to handle 50-60 grit belt and I do not get the jerky feeling so many sander give when under full load . start w\/o digging in and create divot be a thing of the past . the tool be unbelievably quiet . my ear thank I . a smooth and controllable machine equal smooth panel . Feel tempt to use this on finish furniture - but - that be not its place . if you want to create a lot of sand dust , really quickly , this be the machine for you . base on what I see so far , I believe this will go better than 20 year in a hobbyist 's shop w\/o be a paperweight in you storage cabinet . the quality be far superior to anything I ever get from Craftsman . for those who love DeWalt , Porter-Cable or one of the other on the market - this be the Lexus of sand machine . any difference in price be insignificant over 20 year . this will never be the machine you hate everytime you use it . +207 Bag NEU 3 this bag be a good size for my Panasonic Palmcorder . hold the camera , a few tape , the instruction booklet , and a spare battery . just not enough room to really fit the charger . overall , though , it meet my expectation and I feel it be worth it . +365 Bag POS 5 I have have this bag , the Tamrac 5612 pro 12 since March 2010 . the storage capacity and ease of use make this bag a must have . I carry two camera body , 4 lens , 3 flash , memory card , require cable , and all the user manual and they all fit and be easy to put in and take out . for everyday use this bag rock . the big test be go on vacation . I just spend a week in Puerto Rico and this bag more than pay for itself . fully pack this bag weigh more than 20 lb but the balance and comfort of this bag make it easy to carry around . but the main thing for I be all my equipment make the trip and back in perfect shape . I be in and out of this bag many time a day and never have any problem finding or replace my equipment . I actually wish I could give it more than 5 star . +255 Bag POS 5 this be my second Tamrac bag . my first bag be 25 + year old and still in fairly good condition -lrb- no rip or tear -rrb- . want a new bag for increase capacity and this bag have everything my old bag have , except loop for film cannister -lrb- how time have change : -rrb- . the construction of this bag seem better than my old one , so it will probably be the last bag I will ever need . a excellent product at a very good price . +149 Bag POS 4 the bag hold all my loose hand tool well , my only complaint be that the interior pocket be so shallow that larger item have a tendancey to fall out into the main compartment . I would still recommend this item . +578 Bag POS 4 I receive this bag today and overall I be pleased with it but I think they be be very generous in the description they provide . I have a Canon 7d with 18 to 135mm zoom attach and a Canon 40d with attach 60mm lens , both camera have attach battery grip . I want a bag that be big enough to carry both camera with attach grip and lens as well as my Sigma flash , Canon remote unit and battery charger , spare battery , etc. . the bag accomodate my gear but just barely and there be absolutely no way you be fitting other lens in it ! I do not know what size flash they use in the picture they show but it have to be very small . I have to remove all of the divider to get my camera to fit and then squeeze two of they back in to provide some protection for the camera . overall I be satisfied , it do work for what I have currently and that be what I want , but I will not be add additional gear in this bag . I be mention this because they make this bag sound much bigger and more versatile than it be . if you want to remove you lens , not have battery grip attach or if you have some smaller camera you may be able to carry a lot more equipment but with any substantial gear it be gonna be tight ... with that all say , it appear to be a well make bag , nothing sexy or exciting but functional ... I suspect it 'll last I a long time . +820 Bag POS 4 I buy -lrb- and then return -rrb- four bag before stay with this one . be it perfect ? of course not , there be no such perfect camera bag . Backpack ? sling ? Rolling ? shoulder ? I wish there be one that have the benefit of all of these , but it do not exist . the backpack I have be use be wonderful for have both hand free , but it do not hold enough and when the `` Kodak moment '' come along , I have to wriggle out of it , put it on the ground -lrb- regardless of how messy the ground might be -rrb- and then zip it open to get the camera out . whoops - my subject be go . the 5612 be heavy when full of my gear , but I do not have to leave anything out and I can get my camera out quickly when I need it . like all tamrac product , it be make of strong material and can take a beating . +173 Bag NEG 2 this tool bag be not big enough . I want to get 2 or 3 of they and store my 18 volt set in they . this bag be not big enough to put one Dewalt cordless finish nailer in it . the height of the bag will not accommodate a normal size screwdriver or channel-lock to be store vertically in the pocket with the lid close . the interior and outside pocket be too blousey . they should build a larger , foot locker type version with the same hard-sided\/bag idea , but actually make it usable . I return this . +529 Bag POS 5 do u have a certain special item that you need to protect . this durable leather case be just what you need . the dimension be just the right size for whatever you want to catty around with you or board on a plane . the price be only 25 buck . why not pick one up and be satisfy .

I would recommend buy this . +760 CableModem POS 4 many earlier review I read prior to purchase this state that they have to call Comcast to activate this modem . maybe Comcast have update they system because as soon as I connect it I be direct to a Comcast activation site where I activate the new device in a couple easy step , within minute my modem be up and run . the set-up be easy and I could not be happier with the result . my internet be faster and considerably more reliable than it use to be . plus , within a year it will start save I money because I no longer have to pay Comcast the $ 7\/month rental on a modem . +946 CableModem POS 5 the modem arrive as schedule and work perfectly . I like it better than the Motorola modem because it lay flat , whereas the Motorola modem stand upright . +8 CableModem NEG 1 I buy this modem so that I could rid of the $ 7 monthly rent . it get provision fine but keep on get reset every now and then . in two day time it have be reset on its own like 5-6 time . I buy this modem instead of Motorola surfboard as I already have a Linksys wrt54g2 router but look like cisco modem be not even compatible with they own router . I have try so many time to hook up this modem with the router but no use . I want to save $ 7 rent but look like that cause I a whole lot of pain and if i continue to use this modem I might have to buy a compatible router worth around $ 60 - $ 70 . so look like to save $ 7 \/ month I be spend $ 170 - $ 180 upfront which do not sound good . I be gonna return this modem today . definitely will not recommend it to use with Comcast . +61 CableModem POS 5 I be not pay attention . my bad ! have I realize , I might have be write this review many , many month ago . first , a little research ! my modem from Comcast be model #sb 5101 -lrb- Motorola -rrb- DOCSIS 2.0 , and it work just great for those 3 year + of service , never a hitch ! ignorant enough , and a shock to my system ... to learn I be `` rent '' they equipment to the tune of 7.00 monthly . now ... I immediately bulk , the feeling of be rip off by a company who give no quarter to they `` veteran '' subscriber . a list of they `` approve '' modem easily discover at -lrb- comcast.com -rrb- the `` math '' be easy enough too ... within less than a year , my new Motorola would put I back into the `` black '' . there be literally no learning curve to this process of exchange , a no brainer ... that be , if you can read ! -lrb- g -rrb- the procedure be just as these other have state . turn everything off , change you cable a bit , bypass you router -lrb- if you have a network -rrb- , plug everything back where it be , boot you computer , and immediately , as you punch in you browser ... a page from Comcast come up ! be sure you have you account number in front of you , and you phone # of record . for I , the Mac ID be already there , do not have to type it in at all . they will automatically set up the new modem in just a few minute . really simple ! read these review ! some be very helpful if you be a comcast customer ! just be sure you take note the old fashion way ... pen and paper , before you disconnect you old modem ! this Motorola , sb6121 , do not run `` hot '' , at least not for I . it be barely warm . as the review attest , it run faster , much faster !! the detail be there also , in these review . you can believe they . the `` hardest '' part , this whole procedure ? the return of Comcast 's property . you must find the nearest Service Center to return it ! if you request a service tech to come pick it up , they be go to charge you plenty ! and ... whatever you do ... . . get you receipt as evidence you return it ... save it , and keep check you itemized bill . I do not trust they ! you might . : o -rrb- would not you think ... the money we pay they , these very necessary `` extra '' would be include ?? bummer ! my next project ? this hd receiver box , another dumb rental !

I could not get anything but the power light to come on . the second one work perfectly , and I can tell it be faster . speedtest dot net have I at about 6 mbp down and 3 mbp up with the RCA DOCSIS 2.0 modem Comcast provide , and with this one I be get 26 mbp down and 6 mbp up . I can not believe I put up with that so long ! it be funny too that Comcast be harass people who own they equipment to upgrade to DOCSIS 3.0 , but never bother to mention a need to upgrade to those who lease they modem . so far I be happy with this modem , and would recommend it to those who use Comcast . just remember give the full model 5341j and to speak slow , and repeat yourself when give they the MAC ID . the call center be overseas , and there be a BIG language barrier . it take a few time to get the information across . also , if you purchase this item from Modem Land , make sure it be the one that be full fill by Amazon -lrb- which be cover by Amazon 's return policy -rrb- . Modem Land 's direct return policy be horrible , and would leave you responsible for return shipping , and a possible 15 % restock fee . +441 CableModem POS 5 this item be recommend to I by a friend who be very satisfied with it-so I buy it and be happy also-do recommend this item . it arrive in perfect shape and be on deliver on time and quickly +881 CableModem POS 5 I order this to replace my Comcast xfinity modem that I have be rent every month . when it arrive I simply contact Comcast and provide the number on the modem to have they connect it to the internet . this save I $ 8 a month now and pay for itself . the internet also seem it I be quicker and I rarely have to reset the modem , unlike the Comcast one . I have have this modem for a few month now . +515 CableModem NEG 1 it work fine for couple week till I buy a router , then I notice drop of connection so I be not sure if it be the modem itself or it doesnt work properly with the router but i be definitely return this useless modem . +592 CableModem POS 5 work without any issue right out of the box . I purchase this item as refurbish , but the item and its packaging appear as if new and unused . save a few buck so I be very happy . +434 CableModem POS 5 this be very worthwhile product for anyone who have a weak cable signal or a deteriorated signal because of too much signal-splitting . turn it off and you 'll really see the difference ! +216 CableModem NEG 1 I be sure this unit work , but I get a lemon , and for that reason , I be annoyed and make sure you know it . the `` receive '' signal do not work , despite call to Motorola and Comcast . they all confirm it be in fact defective . brand new , out of the box defective . thanks Motorola ! +660 CableModem POS 5 have some initial setup issue , but it turn out it be Comcast . this modem run like a champ . I be get 50 + mbp download -lrb- what I pay for -rrb- and setup be simple . it be also aesthetically please . . the modem be small and can be inconspicuous of place properly . +707 CableModem POS 5 love , Love , Love this modem ! have a family who be all tech geek ... lol . okay maybe that be extreme . : -rrb- I buy this after the Comcast rep say they upgrade to docsis 3.0 and that this may assist with boost we speed . I have the blast package with comcast . the modem be easy to set up but call comcast to activate the modem be a ordeal ... the tech seem slightly confuse . \*\* as a previous reviewer state keep the box , you will need the customer number from the box to activate the modem with comcast . once install and activate the first 68 hour be slow go mean we speed drop dramatically 4.5 download , 2 upload by the end of the first night we be at 17 download and 3 upload . by the next day it be back to we normal speed 20 down and 4 up . it have now be roughly a week and now we speed be ; 33 + Downloads and 4.42 upload and this have be test from we Laptops not a desktop computer so there may be some lag still there base on we older linksy router which will be be upgrade soon . my point be the upload time may be upward to 40 + download speed for a desktop computer and may possibly reach these speed through a update router for laptop or through a desktop computer be connect directly to the modem itself . I be excite with the result and the speed boost . we currently have 4-5 laptop , tv , Roku , 2 Wii , PS3 connect to at any give time and it work great . \*\*\* Upgrade you router also : the only exception be access netflix via the tv and roku player ... it take a while to load the image thus be the reason to make sure you upgrade you router and it will resolve this . the image not load quickly be only due to the router and nothing to do with this modem itself ... just fyus . I have my eye on the Linksys\/Cisco 3500 or 4500 . : -rrb- +951 CableModem POS 5 I be glad I find this product . I be about to purchase a new outdoor antenna and be consider all new wiring for my off-air antenna that feed into the DirecTV Receiver . I have be have trouble receive the PBS station -lrb- typically only receive 0-25 percent signal -rrb- . when I install this Motorola Signal Booster last week , my signal immediately jump to 55-60 percent . that seem to be plenty as it have eliminate my pixelation and audio dropout problem . +605 CableModem POS 5 be seem very robust and high quality when hold in the have . the indicator light be well position , very visible , and easy to interpret . it sit firmly . it be easy to set up . I use it with comcast xfinity internet . it seem perfect to I . +542 CableModem POS 5 I buy this here on amazon about 5 week ago . we have decide to use Comcast for ` Internet only ' and take the Arris cable modem back to the Comcast support center . that be say , the physical hook up of the Motorola sb6121 be very easy . Comcast technical support be just , I guess , not use to self installer here . I be on the phone 3 night in a row with Comcast technical support to get to the internal Comcast network , where I could get the Comcast url for activation of the modem . the thing be , by this point , I have give my new indian friend the MAC address of my new modem several different time . aw well , at least we be make progress . come home from work on a Friday evening , after spend the previous 3 evening talk to Comcast support , I get to the same activation url at Comcast and decide to give it a rest . after all , I have my new discounted premium DirectTV package to relax with . cut to the chase , by the next Monday -lrb- 6 day after I start my change over to self installation -rrb- I be able to get to the internet ok . I find that I have to release and renew the dhcp address that Comcast have give I and the new dn be quite different from the one I have previously with the Arris modem . anyway , since dn be clear up and I suspect be add to Comcast 's proxy to the outside world , I have have 100 % up time on the Comcast network . +7 CableModem POS 5 hook it up and only take about 5 min for the firmware to install . go from 12 mb which be what im pay for to 16 . Becareful if you have comcast . after 5 seond after give the serial to the comcast rep she tell I that she wasnt get a signal and I need to send this modem back and keep theirs . I tell she she didnt even let it boot up but she didnt care . after the firmware install it come up and work right away . call again to have they pick up the old modem and they still say the modem wasnt give a signal even though I be on the web while on the phone . they will lie to you and ignore you to keep you pay the rental fee . now they will not pick it up with out I pay some bull % $ # @ fee . now im look for cable box to buy because I have have it with comcast . back to the point . so far so good . +285 CableModem POS 5 I be have all sort of signal problem with Comcast before I purchase this . my cable would frequently be pixelated and even freeze up . no problem since switch to this . it be a great investment . +225 CableModem POS 5 with my previous DOCSIS 2.0 modem it be almost impossible for I to use the internet at certain time of day . Performance would be great at like 3am or other low-traffic time , but from about 4pm to 8pm my internet would be cripple . I be confident my other modem be functional and that there be not any issue with Comcast . so I decide to give this modem a shot and see if have multiple channel in use would make a difference . after two week of use I can say that here really be not a major increase in top speed , but I have experience a incredible increase in reliability . I can hop on my computer I use the internet any time of day without any trouble at all . so the DOCSIS 3.0 support for multiple channel be a huge benefit . I would definitely recommend upgrade to a DOCSIS 3.0 modem if you be use a older model and experience slow speed at specific time of day . +470 CableModem POS 5 this I believe be a great product . work great so far !!!!!!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! +763 CableModem POS 4 this thing be amazing at adapt power . I only dock it one star for not offer a pink version . seriously , though , it be a power cord and it have better work . and , mine do the job as expect . +137 CableModem POS 5 I be rent the Motorola Surfboard 5120 -lrb- sb5120 -rrb- from Comcast for $ 5\/month . this seem reasonable to I up until I find this modem for $ 30 include shipping . I will make my money back on the purchase in 6 month . excellent deal ! as other have mention all you have to do be call Comcast to activate this modem by give they the MAC address . it be both on the box , and on the unit itself . this process take I a grand total of about 15 minute once I open the box . this modem have plenty of speed out of the box . in response to other 's get up to 30 mb\/s , this be not go to be a cap on the modem 's ability . this instead be a cap limit by you service provider . this be a DOCSIS 2.0 Modem , which mean it can handle up to 42.88 mb\/s raw throughput -lrb- include overhead -rrb- or more simply 38 mb\/s -lrb- usable datum -rrb- . for I , I pay for 12 mb\/s on Comcast , and have see this modem get upward of 14 mb\/s , although this say nothing as to what the modem itself can handle . it be just Comcast not limit I strictly enough to what I have pay for . +670 CableModem POS 5 I too be hit by a monthly modem rental fee all of a sudden by Comcast , so rather than pay they more , I order this modem to replace a lower model surfboard . it arrive very quickly , as usual . I disconnect the old one , connect this one , call Comcast and literally 3 minute later I be up and run again . it be work perfectly since . another reviewer note that it run hot , and that be true , but do not seem to be a problem . +299 CableModem POS 4 I get the zoom yesterda and quickly install it . the product manaul be aim at WPS config but not so clear on how you can enable WEP . you actually have to disable WPS in order to have the option to enable WEP , which be not on the manual . I figure this out while I be wait on the phone to try to talk to zoom support . ethernet work fast but not so with the wireless . I have a big house , the tv be in the far corner when use roku with wireless , the signal be not stable . now I have to consider a wi-fus access point . I think my old 2wire 's wireless might work even better than the zoom . +925 CableModem POS 4 this router replace a older one I have . I do have some difficulty set it up at first . however , it be fine now and work well . affordable . +467 CableModem POS 5 I use to have a horrid DOCSIS 1.0 Linksys modem and a old B\/G Apple Airport Express . the two appear to be compete , try to see who could stop work more often . this thing use less power and offer more speed and reliability than I need , do the job of both device -lrb- I get about 55mbp now , up from just 15-20mbps -rrb- . great buy , only regret be that I can not thank the guy who sell it to I through Amazon . to that awesome individual : no , thank you ! : -rrb- +922 CableModem POS 5 I get tire of pay Comcast to lease a old modem and decide the pay-back would be good . Modem work well . take a short while of talk to support to get service work again , but it be not hard . chose this one because it be the highest rate one by Comcast that be ipv6 and DOCSIS 3.0 compatible . +153 CableModem NEG 1 I buy this so i do not have to pay the leasing fee with Comcast but it would never keep a stable connection . Modem would reset every minute so it be basically useless . back to Amazon it go . +479 CableModem POS 4 this be just about plug and play . nothing too it . worked great right out of the box . no problem , yet . but you really do not see it in many place online ... specwise ... it be usb 1.1 , not 2.0 or higher . so if you plan on use it for usb connection only , be warn . +56 CableModem POS 5 this product be unbelievably excellent , in fact , I would like to call it miraculous ! I be previously use a ordinary 4 port digital splitter -lrb- 5-2300mhz -rrb- where my cable modem , wireless router , and 2 t.v. 's be connect . this be ok for about 3 month when suddenly , I get no signal from my cable modem and wireless router , and some channel be miss in both T.V. 's . after some troubleshooting , I find out that the splitter be not work anymore . so I test a spare digital splitter of the same spec , with the same result . frustrated , I purchase another splitter with a narrower range , from 5-1000mhz from best buy . my heart sink when it also produce the same result . I call my service provider to try to get a recommendation as to what type of splitter to use , but they refuse , and attempt to pressure I to let a technician come to we house and do the connection . this , of course , for a stupid extra cost : one for the installation of a new line , and another for a extra monthly charge . I bluntly tell the customer service agent that I will not allow that and should not spend a single cent to troubleshoot the problem . they attempt to pressure I to send a technician to we house miserably fail . finally after research in the internet about similar issue , I come up with many cutomer recommend the use of this product for cable modem and t.v.s. I order this Motorola BDA throuh AMAZON , ask for a 1 day delivery , get it as guranteed by AMAZON , then install it . only after a few seconds , my cable modem , router , and T.V.s respond very well and my problem be solve . my browser become wicked fast , and the quality of picture in both t.v.s be excellent ! there be one customer who say that cable modem should not be amplify - I tell this customer he be dead wrong ! in my case , cable modem do not get any signal , until I install this amplifier . I would highly recommed this product to all customer with similar situation ! +59 CableModem POS 5 I plug the modem in , Comcast recognize the new modem , register it automatically and it work great . no more $ 7 a month for lease a ancient modem that perform poorly . I have the slowest possible connection with Comcast so I have not notice any difference in speed . if I decide to go to a higher speed I be ready . +284 CableModem POS 5 this be my first docsis3 wireless cable modem and have it install by the Comcast serviceman . I have earlier set up the router off line for wire and wireless functionality . the direction be easy to follow for set security and the various network . I like the ability to have a private network and a guest access point . speed test show over 30 mb download and 5 mb upload , however this change from day to day . the installer have never see over 3 mb upload speed . I have no issue with strength of signal . Modem be on a ground level floor and signal easily reach the second floor . other have comment on the heat this modem generate , I have the same experience , it simply run hot . there be a power adjustment that seem to allow the unit to run on 25 % , 50 % , 75 % and 100 % power setting . I will try the 75 % set to see if it run cooler without any loss in wireless signal or speed . I have a older docsis2 surfboard run on Wideopenwest service for a couple of year now with no issue . much more stable than my older two unit system have a separate modem and wireless router . my it friend recommend seperate unit , but I have have a good experience with the combined modem . give the cost comparison , this one win . +889 CableModem POS 5 linksy cm100 Cable Modem with usb and Ethernet Connections . now that I own my own it will save I big buck in the future . this be a great item , easily setup and work like a charm . I would suggest this ; especially if you rent one from you cable company . +736 CableModem POS 5 excellent way to get around the $ 7\/month charge that Comcast require for they dated cable modem . as other have point out , you do not need to call Comcast to set this up . you only need you account number and the contact phone number that Comcast have on file for you . setup and installation for Comcast be as follow : -lrb- 1 -rrb- turn on the modem and connect it to you cable connection . do not plug in you computer yet -lrb- 2 -rrb- wait a few minute for the blinking to stop . -lrb- 3 -rrb- plug in to you pc and turn it on . -lrb- 4 -rrb- you should be automatically redirect to the Comcast self activation page . type in you account # and phone # -lrb- 5 -rrb- go to a comcast customer service area to drop off you old modem -lrb- and save on return shipping -rrb- except for step 5 , the whole thing take I 15 minute . my speed have go from 14 - -rrb- 27 mb\/sec download . actual speed have go from a peek of 1.8 mb\/sec to 2.8 mb\/sec . not bad , and you save money in the long term +697 CableModem POS 5 order myself the Motorola sb6121 to replace my sb5101 . my older modem would continuously drop and loose signal w\/cox . I have have my new sb6121 set up for two day now and have not drop once ! Netflix and Hulu run like a dream . very happy to have spend the extra moolaa !! well worth it ! +904 CableModem POS 5 my cable provider upgrade we local cable service to DOCSIS 3.0 and the Motorola surfboard sb6121 be the top choice on they list of compatible modem . we have not be disappoint . it have work like a champ . +549 CableModem POS 5 it be everything they say it would be . arrive on time , correct cost and funtion fine . tip , you may have to call you cable company and give they the MAC address to work . +814 CableModem POS 5 I have Time Warner Digital Cable and since move to we new place we signal have be a issue . we have two digital box and Time Warner refuse to boost the signal so we could hook up cable to additional tv use a coax cable . before this product try to do so kill the signal to one of the digital box . in addition , the box whose signal would get kill by other source would lose signal for high def channel from time to time with no split . I order the booster and the Ohm terminator and it work like a charm . not only be we able to watch cable on all we tv with no disruption , but the picture on both digital box be crisper than before . all channel on both box work and I no longer have to constantly reboot my digital box . I be so glad I give it a try . +835 CableModem POS 4 very easy to setup out of the box but documentation a bit lack in explanation of configuration and feature . I guess it be assume you already know how to configure you modem . I do have a problem with a older hp\/compaq laptop run m Vista . it would not connect to internet use WPA or PSK , try every thing I read in variuo blog but nothing work . discover there be a update for the Atheros WiFi Adapter , download and install it - connect perfectly now . very fast 20mb download speed . very please with product . +513 CableModem POS 5 device do exactly what it be suppose to do . when the Motoroloa Docsis 3.0 modem I acquire would not function on my cable provider 's network I decide to give the UBEE a try . it perform flawlessy , wish I could say the same for the cable company . +401 CableModem POS 5 work great out of the box . Easy to set up . have experienced nice improvement in speed since I have install this modem . +436 CableModem POS 5 the zoom5350 be a excellent product and be easy to set up . the only adjustment I have to make be at the zoom website in the configuration manager -lrb- I simply unchecked one of the box as be suggest -rrb- . this change improve both download & upload speed . I replace a older DOCSIS 2.0 modem that work fine , but have slower download speed in the 5-8 mbp range . this zoom be DOCSIS 3.0 which allow I to receive the full 30 mbp that my cable provider supplies . I be a average computer user that prefer to web browse without wait . +330 CableModem POS 5 Motorola 's sb6121 cable modem be one of the best cable modem available on the market right now , if not the best . it be a full docsis-3 .0 modem , but also fully backwards compatible with DOCSIS 2.0 and all the way back to DOCSIS 1.0 . in short , it should work on any cable system . it be future-ready with ipv6 support build in . I buy the sb6121 to replace a D-Link dcm202 which have start randomly drop the connection several time a week , sometimes multiple time a day . installation be trouble-free ; just connect the cable and notify you cable company . -lrb- have the MAC address from the label on the bottom of the modem handy when you call . -rrb- many cable user report speed gain on update to a DOCSIS 3.0 modem ; I be no exception -- my download speed go from 11.5 mbp to 12.8 mbp , and my upload speed increase by 50 % from 960kbp to 1.5 mbp . interface-wise , there be not a lot to say . the Motorola sb6121 's color graphical-icon lead indicator be much easier to identify and read from a distance than the D-Link 's closely space row of identical yellow-green led . you can look at it from across the room and see two steady blues and one blinking amber , and know at a glance you be in good shape . this be perhaps a more expensive modem than some , but it be worth it , and you can not fault Motorola 's reputation . it also carry a better warranty than many other cable modem . do yourself a favor and buy this oem-packaged version ; the shinier box on the retail version will not make you cable connection any faster . -lrb- but the chance be good that this modem will . -rrb- +113 CableModem POS 5 I want to upgrade my DOCSIS 2.0 Motorola sb5101u to a DOCSIS 3.0 model . I wonder how many Comcast customer know what internet speed they be pay for . I just spend 15 minute search within my account and I can not find any explicit mention of speed . however , my bill say I have get Preferred double Play and Comcast 's advertising say that come with speed of `` up to 20 mbp download speed with powerboost '' . well , even with my old sb5101u , I be consistently get 23-25 mbp download and 3.6 mbp upload on my desktop connect to the router with a ethernet cable , so it be not surprising that the new modem do not give I any improvement . still , it work fine and I 'll keep it as a hedge against any improvement that be not obvious to I at the moment or thing that Comcast may have come down the pike . I do not try install the modem myself as I know Comcast would have to activate it from they end . it be not trivial for the Comcast agent at the other end of the phone . he keep mention something about get a IP address and not get a boot file . but , with a few retry and I unplug the modem and plug it back in to reset it , we be ultimately successful . what I take from my experience and the report of other be that the amount of agony one have to go through depend on the Comcast rep who get the call , BUT if you persevere the installation should ultimately prove successful . +313 CableModem POS 5 after go through 2-3 different signal booster -lrb- both active and passive powered\/non-powered -rrb- I end up with this . why ? simply because it do what be advertise and continue to do so . Cable TV\/Cable Modem signal booster . I have try several other brand and they work fine for period range from 3 month to just over 1 year , and then there be signal loss through certain bandwidth or the entire unit fail . enter this unit , which I buy through a recommendation by a friend who I have see use it for over 3 year . simply plug and play , and it work . do not get any easier . Cable modem for datum , and tv all work wonderfully and have not fail . so far it have and continue to be the longest lasting signal booster I have use . +140 CableModem POS 5 after get hose by COMCAST for the last year I listen to a friend and buy a modem . the way it figure be that you pay they $ 7 - $ 10 a month to ` rent ' a modem . you buy this one and it pay for itself in a year . +419 CableModem POS 5 I order this product to replace my outdated Comcast modem . I order it on a Friday and receive it on Tuesday with free shipping . packaging be sufficient and product arrive intact . install be easy -lrb- except work with Comcast - Make sure you have you Account Number and Phone Number for the account before disconnect you old modem -rrb- . I have about a 25 % increase in speed , base upon internet speed test . would highly recommend purchase this modem . +248 CableModem POS 4 I just recently buy this modem to update my 5 year old zoom that seem to be have issue turn out it be router that need replace , so I have a Asus 56 on the way . however , I be keep this because it be blaze fast , I notice a huge jump in internet speed almost instantly . I be go to give this four star because it say the light be suppose to be Easy to understand and I be a tech guy and I still do not understand they ... and there be not even a mention of they in the manual ... good job ubee . anyways if a Ubee guy come and comment on my post tell I how to interpret the light you 'll get a 20 % boost and reclaim you 5 star rating . +920 CableModem POS 5 Easy set up and great performance . I be use it with Comcast Extreme 50 service and I be see consistently fast performance peak about 60mb down and 12mb up . Wireless coverage throughout we home be very good . I be run several wire and wireless connection simultaneously and have not see a single glitch so far . very please with it . +102 CableModem POS 4 initially have a problem set this up w\/the usb cable & connect to we isp -lrb- Comcast -rrb- , but once I switch it to the Ethernet cable , it work just fine . be refurbish , not sure if we 'll have problem down the line a way , but for now it be work like a charm . not a bad price either . sure beat have to pay a $ 7\/month modem rental to we isp . +778 CableModem POS 4 do not have any problem set it up . you should make sure with you cable company that they system be compatible to work with this modem . not a bad price if you do not have time to shop on ebay . happy with the buy . +886 CableModem NEG 1 I purchase this modem because it seem to be well-reviewed and compatible with Comcast . it seem like a preferable alternative to pay $ 7\/month to rent a modem from Comcast . unfortunately , it do not work . upon reboot , it would take 10-15 minute to establish a link with Comcast . my Comcast subscription include 15mbp service , but this modem be only allow download at about 80kbp , if it be work at all . I purchase a sb6120 , and it connect in 1 minute and be average 16-18mbp for download . from what I understand from read around about this modem , the sb6121 be far less tolerant of signal issue -lrb- noise , weak signal -rrb- than older one . maybe the wiring in my apartment be not ideal . either way , the sb6121 do not work for I . +979 CableModem POS 5 I absolutely refuse to pay for cable at two home so I do a bunch of research and decide that only hook up fast internet and then use Roku and the service at both home would be a better choice . however , I know nothing about modem and such so I have to read a whole lot of review and look up all the ComCast datum and such . hopefully , this will make it easier for anyone else like I who be also look to cut down on fee and buy a really good modem . hook up be super fast and since I have the tech come to do all the other set up , I do not do anything at all . BUT , it be very fast and it just need a single phone call , the number from the bottom of the box and then it be good to go . this modem be a very good one base on the ComCast table and get speed right at the maximum list for the service . that be really nice since I be use Amazon Prime Video , Netflix and HuluPlus for most of my viewing -lrb- along with a antenna for local channel -rrb- . no problem with picture or sound and I run my computer at the same time . the light on it be a little bit bright so that might be a consideration if you be look to put this in the bedroom . I find they quite merry and do not mind they at all . also , unlike my cable modem at my main home , this one be not blaze hot all the time . this get a touch warm , but not scary hot like my other one . overall , I do think this do just what it should and it do it well . and I be not pay $ 7 a month for the rental fee ! bonus . +945 CableModem POS 5 Works great . come with zero instruction or manual book , so I be confuse for a minute before realize that all you need to do be plug it for it to work . fast ! +115 CableModem POS 5 I buy this so I do not need to rent a modem through Comcast . I have have no problem , work well with my dd-wrt flash router . +968 CableModem POS 5 this product work for we as describe . be doci 3.0 , speedtest.net report 25mbps\/7mbps - much faster than before . communication be good after place the order and the shipping be prompt . I would recommend the product and the vendor to anyone . +229 CableModem POS 5 just finish install a refurbish cm100 on Comcast . very simple to do . call to Comcast just require the model and MAC . sixty seconds later I be surf again . speed be either the same or a little faster . I be already get 6 - 10mb download . after hang up with Comcast I recable my router back in and all computer be blaze . if you be pay monthly rental for modem I would strongly suggest buy you own . I can not believe I have be pay rent for at least 10 year . yike that be $ 3600 . do it now ! +777 CableModem POS 5 I use this to replace my old sb5120 which have be awesome but after talk to a Cox Communications Rep they be say that in the near future these will not be support or may not work anymore . so I buy the newest I could find . I have read a lot of review on the sb6120 and not too many on this one so since it be new and I decide to try it . con : not many as some have say run a little warm but mine be in a well ventilate area . the only problem I have be when I provision it through online chat with cox Cable and after all the number and info be give I lose the Rep and Internet : -rrb- when I put in the new sb6121 and boot it up I only get the cox Internet Service Splash page . I then have to call a live Rep and have they finish the provision . a little hiccup . pro : nice light and small as I say before its in a well ventilate cabinet and light do not interfere my vision . I also get the Blue Receive Light instead of green which mean in my area it will use a bond downstream channel connection . that mean fast real fast . unfortunately I can not say the same for the Upload it stay on the green light . at present time I pay the $ 44 package which be suppose to be 5-7 mbp and since then I have get grandfather into the Preferred Package for $ 40 which be suppose to be 18 mbp and 4 mbp . here be my stats now : -rrb- use both internet Explorer and Google Chrome Browsers Current Motorola SB5120 ie 4:35 PM use cox test.lvcm.com 10 sec 27.2 mbp \/ 32.8 mbp down 24.2 mbp \/ 33.6 mbp down 5.82 mbp \/ up extend 1 min 15.5 mbp \/ 32 . o mbp down 2.98 mbp up sustained 3 min 15.4 mbp \/ 30.4 mbp down 2.46 mbp up speedtest.net to Xbox Live Servers in Redmond , Washington Closest Hop Renton , WA 22.57 MBPS Down 4.66 MBPS up Ping 65 m Chrome use cox test.lvcm.com 10 sec 21.2 mbp \/ 32.8 mbp down 5.81 mbp up extend 1 min 15.6 mbp \/ 29.6 mbp down 2.98 mbp up sustained 3 min 17.6 mbp \/ 30.4 mbp down 2.46 mbp up speedtest.net to Xbox Live Servers in Redmond , Washington Closest Hop Renton , WA 12.76 MBPS Down 4.58 MBPS up Ping 85 m New Motorola SB6121 use http:\/\/azspeedtest.cox.com result : 74.84 mbp down 3.00 mbp up ping 11 m ie use cox test.lvcm.com 10 sec 31.6 mbp \/ 88.0 mbp down 5.82 mbp up extend 1 min 18.0 mbp \/ 71.2 mbp down 2.98 mbp up sustained 3 min 17.4 mbp \/ 88.0 mbp down 2.46 mbp up speedtest.net to Xbox Live Servers in Redmond , Washington Closest Hop Renton , WA 35.58 MBPS Down 4.76 MBPS up 75 Ping Chrome use http:\/\/azspeedtest.cox.com result : 77.12 mbp down 2.86 mbp up ping 22 m use cox test.lvcm.com 10 sec 31.3 mbp \/ 96.0 mbp down 5.82 mbp up extend 1 min 19.1 mbp \/ 88.0 mbp down 2.98 mbp up sustained 3 min 17.4 mbp \/ 80.0 mbp down 2.45 mbp up speedtest.net to Xbox Live Servers in Redmond , Washington Closest Hop Renton , WA 53.23 MBPS Down 4.73 MBPS up 75 ping +151 CableModem POS 5 I like that this thing be gigabit and be faster than my cable systm . when the cable get faster I will not have to buy another router . +286 CableModem POS 5 I have wide Open West 30mbit cable and this have be work great . have some connectivity issue early on but I have those before too so I can only blame the service for that . my last surfboard modem last I for year and save I ton of rental charge , I hope to get similar service out of this one . only replace it to get DOCSIS 3 . +712 CableModem POS 5 excelent and very easy to setup and great speed . original product in original container . fast delivery . attach this to router and I be run at great speed for download -lrb- up to 50 mbp -rrb- . +371 CableModem POS 5 easy install ... 1 call 2 comcast -lrb- do not let comcast self install run -rrb- call 800 # ... couple minute ur up ... speed like never before . . sorry i wait 2 do this -lrb- DOCSIS 3.0 -rrb- ... plus the energy saver mode have cut power use per apc powerchute ... this cable modem be a winner ...

I call the number give and after 10 minute get ahold of a technician who take the new MAC address and assign it to my account . within a few moment the modem disconnect . I unplug it and plug it back in , and when it come up , I be at full speed again . my d\/l speed go from 8mb to 11mb and my ping drop from 39m to 21 ms. +200 CableModem NEG 1 \* warning : LINKSYS will send you a BROKEN PRODUCT \* this ITEM will not work \* absolute garbage . I purchase mine and receive the modem , receipt , cd , power cable , ethernet cable and a usb cable . no instruction . none on the CD . CD do nothing . even view the `` manual '' on the CD do not give you any information as to how to install this . the program on the CD , do nothing - no choice to install , no nothing . useless . now , I have use many cable modem in the past , and I know it be just plug and play . that do not work . it appear to I that after plug everything in , the cable modem go through a self-test , then die . the only light that would stay light be the power light . the other would blink as they be test , but then turn off . useless . I finally use the control panel to `` install new hardware '' and search the CD for driver . it install fine . but it do not work . the modem itself be garbage . now what ? send it back to Linksys ? pay more in ship this item back and forth than I pay for the item itself ? useless . this be a scam . Linksys be garbage . they be try to pass of this piece of crap that be make with known defective piece . \* do NOT BUY THIS \* spend the extra money and get a REAL CABLE MODEM FROM ANOTHER MANUFACTURER \* \* UPDATE : so - I have since have this modem `` install '' , or attempt to have it install . the cable guy who come to my house run test on this modem , and he could not get it to work . he call it `` garbage '' and we immediately throw it out . so , as I say originally , it be a broken item . I be happy to finally throw this out . I have since buy a work modem from Motorolla - and it be perfect . please avoid this piece of junk . \* +869 CableModem NEG 1 this modem work for a couple of week . and now it be not . I be not sure what be wrong with it , but it be definitely defective . +891 CableModem NEG 1 have I find this comcast forum post at -lrb- ... -rrb- , I would not have buy dpc3008 . Cisco DPC3000 work fine earlier . now , I have no support for resolve drop connection issue with this dpc3008 . Comcast keep reset and tell no log of any disconnection activity . Cisco on the other hand be not tell what be with the firmware that people be talk on the Comcast forum . both company need to figure out the fix to this problem soon . update -lrb- April 18 2012 -rrb- : Comcast revert back the firmware build date to Aug 11 2011 and it fix the drop connection issue . definitely , this would change my opinion on the product to excellent . +767 CableModem POS 4 as usual , great delivery service from Amazon , but I do not get to use the product -lrb- the cable company lie when they say I could use my own modem -rrb- . go figure . +380 CableModem POS 5 I love this modem ! because it be a modem and router , it take up less space on my desk . it be cox compatible and I have not have any problem at all with it so far -- after about 3 week . Easy to install , it ship quickly , fast . no complaint !! +491 CableModem POS 5 I buy this router for my home office and , frankly , I would probably qualify as a advanced beginner when it come to tech stuff . I find the installation to be fast , easy , and very understandable , include set up security and password for my home network . we router speed -lrb- we get high-speed broadband from Comcast -rrb- have be 5-6 mbp higher since installation two month ago . could not be happier . +585 CableModem NEG 1 work good for about 9 mo . then no reception at all try everything . I even re route it use new rg6 cable and even try just one tv this be use for my cable tv ! +849 CableModem POS 5 first , this review be base on my cable service , Comcast . this unit work flawlessly on Comcast . this unit effectively double both my down\/upstream speed from my older -lrb- year -rrb- DOCSIS 2 unit , which I might add I be pay a monthly lease for - yeah , I know , why do I wait this long ?! from + \/ - 20m to about + \/ - 38m downstream , and from 2m to + \/ - 8m upstream . directly hook up to unit , of course ... which mean that any degradation you experience when you use other\/wireless unit later on be not because of this unit nor you cable service ... Install be a no-brainer - there be nothing to `` install '' . attach the coax cable to the unit , the include Ethernet cable -lrb- yes , it do have one include -rrb- to you pc\/laptop , and finally plug the power source . you 'll see the MAC address in the unit and in the `` documentation '' -lrb- its just a flyer , really -rrb- . you 'll need it when you call you cable isp provider -lrb- for `` activation '' on they network -rrb- . from box to go : 5 minute - most of it spend call you provider and have they `` find '' you modem -lrb- via the MAC address -rrb- and `` add '' it to they network . +132 CableModem POS 5 I buy this modem to stop pay a rental fee to Comcast . it be a compatible modem with they system and have be provide I with the same level of service\/speed as the rental do . one strange thing : apparently if you give Comcast the serial number , it automatically create the MAC address . in my case , it be create the wrong MAC address . if you be on the phone with Comcast and connectivity be a issue , ask they to read the number back to you and check they against what be on the modem . I unfortunately have to have a tech come to my home but check and see if this be you problem before they send someone out . +949 CableModem POS 5 this product provide a strong signal throughout the whole house . Easy setup with Comcast internet . I have two computer , one printer , and several mobile device that feed off the modem\/router . I would say that my router be subpar , so the modem must be do a good job . +2 CableModem NEG 1 we subscribe to Comcast high speed internet service and have enjoy it far more than we battle with Verizon . we have a Motorola modem before and it work great for a couple of year - until Friday , June 15th , we could not get a connection for any longer than 30-45 seconds before the modem would restart itself over and over and over . the service rep at Comcast infer that we must have a bad modem so we buy a brand new Motorola Surfboard 6121 and we have the same problem ! we bring out the Comcast technician who test the line and assure we that the line be good but the modem be not work right . so I get a second new Surfboard 6121 modem and that do not work either !! we daughter , who also have Comcast , tell we that they have a Arris 7640 modem and so we order that . the Arris modem come and presto , it work . I always think that Motorola be a excellent modem but , for some reason , they be not compatible with Comcast in Massachusetts . good luck - I know how frustrate it be . +416 CableModem POS 5 my puppy decide to chew on my original charger for my broadband . this charger be a after market but it do it job without it i wouldnt be able to write this review because my internet still be down . very fast delivery although a bit high for a s & h for a wall charger +739 CableModem POS 5 this product work out of the box as be be suppose to . I be on Charter and most of the problem it appear come from Comcast customer . I choose this item by ask the tech repair personnel which modem they be use . this be the second time I have use this method to decide what equipment to buy and figure there system accept that model better . call and register the MAC which Motorola would do good to distinguish b from 8 better it take several time on those type of issue once register work fine . +537 CableModem POS 5 the install be easy . plug it in and call Comcast . they ask for the model # and MAC ID # . Comcast confirm that the sb6121 be a good choice . both number be easy to find , albeit print in very small print - have a magnifying glass ready . Motorola have a sticker on the side of the modem with the MAC ID , and several sticker in the box with the same info - to place on the computer around you home , I guess - in case you ever have to call you internet provider . I spend about 15 minute on hold with Comcast to get to a real person . they tech rep be very pleasant and helpful . she walk I through the step . basically , all I have to do be turn off my router . my computer , a 2011 Apple iMac , be plug into a wireless router , that be in turn plug into the new modem . Comcast find my modem and activate it . I do not even have to unplug from the router and connect directly modem to computer . once I get to a person at Comcast , it take about 10 minute . they tell I be to drop off the old modem so the rental could be take off my bill . speed test prior to swap modem average 10 to 15 mbp for download . after install the sb 6121 , download speed improve to 35 mbp . upload now come in at about 5.5 mbp . some user mention the sb6121 modem get warm . after a hour or so of download video , I find it be only warm to the touch - not hot . should have do this a long time ago . even if this new router fail some day , I now know it be no big deal to replace it . +645 CableModem POS 4 this device work like a champ the picture be crisp and there be no freezing in the picture DO NOT HOOK up on a CABLE MODEM IT will not work , you will have to get a booster with a return . +908 CableModem POS 5 I have a cable come in to a internet router , and I want to split it to a television . this be easy to set up and work great ! it be a little freaky hook up the power cable -lrb- use coax cable -rrb- -lrb- not supply -rrb- , but the signal strength to the hd tv be strong , and I have not notice any adverse issue with the internet . +235 CableModem NEG 2 this product be great ... for 6 month . then it fail completely . I can access the modem from my pc , but can not get through to the internet . fortunately I still have the old sb4200 from year ago . it be slower , but it still work . okay , 3 day later , I reconnect the sb6121 modem and it work fine . it do drop this morning -lrb- 8\/15 -rrb- but after turn the power off and back on , reconnect with no problem . it be a bit of a puzzle but for now , I be back to be satisfy . until the next time !?! +452 CableModem NEG 1 Modem work fine for 90 day and then die . unit be plug into a high end UPS\/Line Buffer along with the other network equipment . would not recommend this to anyone . +771 CableModem NEG 1 I learn not to assume anything about technical material . I have search Amazon for a specific Cisco modem , and this one come up . it be a Cisco CM-100 , which accord to Comcast 's list of recommend modem be not a recommend model . I could not determine what model it be until I open the package and soon learn that I would get to pay return postage . if it do not list a model number , there likely be a reason , and I presume that in this case , the reason be that it be not on Comcast 's list ! +344 CableModem NEG 1 I be on hold for a entire half hour . I must have hear the entire 4 Seasons by Vivaldi . the help agent be rude and unhelpful . he even hang up on I . this modem have be nothing but trouble from the day we get it . we Internet speed slow by 30-50 % . and the problem with own you own modem be that the modem people will always blame the internet provider for any problem and the internet provider will blame the modem maker , and you , the customer be stick in the middle with no recourse . not even a friendly voice from the Zoom company to acknowledge how frustrated you might be . Stay away from this company . zoom 5350 Cable modem\/router with Docsis 3.0 speed +422 CableModem POS 5 Works great with no issue . I do not really notice any difference in speed between this one and my old Motorola 2.0 which be start to die . +415 CableModem NEG 1 after read review I purchase this modem think it would be just what I be look for . I be in need of a modem so I pay for next day delivery -lrb- Friday morning -rrb- . package arrive early Saturday morning , and be happy that it arrive so early . open up the box , and go about get it set up . plug in the power , and nothing ! the modem will not power on ! try every outlet in this house . nothing . very , very upset and disappointed . seller only offer a refund , will not send a new one for you to have . guess I be head to best buy after my refund clear . +363 CableModem POS 4 Comcast be charge $ 7 per month for modem rent . so I buy this one and it be give I more than 20mbps speed where my plan be actually 15mbp . with my old modem I use to get less than 15mbps speed . good one . but only draw back I see be it be hang in atleast once in every couple of week . I have to reboot it again to get it work . +810 CableModem POS 5 when I have my cable install I know the moment the tech pull out a outdated rca modem I need to upgrade . the ridiculously slow speed come from say modem further prove my suspicion . I start research modem and come to the conclusion it be a 50\/50 crap shoot ... either it will work for you or it will not . I choose to look at Cisco because I already own a Cisco router , Cisco-Valet Plus Wireless Router I be really glad I do . set up the Cisco Linksys modem be so easy , I have never have a modem\/router set-up so fast and easily . all I do be plug everything in , swap it out with my cable company online , and voilum I be online ... and my online speed jump from a crawl of 2.5 mbp ... to blaze fast speed of 12mbp and up . if you be have problem with you cable internet speed , odds be its the modem they provide you with . I dump my cable originally because of lousy speed , and go back out of necessity . if I have know I could have resolve my issue with a new modem I would have do this year ago , and save myself countless hour of customer service call . +144 CableModem POS 4 very nice one . it suit my need and up to the expectation . Easy to install and be satisfy with the product +207 CableModem NEG 1 I buy a refurbish Linksys router and it have work well now for over a year so I feel that buy a refurbish Linksys modem be a fairly safe bet . how wrong I be . as instruct I call comcast to give they the Mac address of the router however could not get the modem to show up with comcast . we try for hour with several different technician and supervisor but to no avail . add to this there be a no return policy for this unit . do not waste you money . +365 CableModem NEG 1 I receive a package with the cable modem , 1 usb cable , and 1 ethernet cable , but no power adapter . I be now look into return the package for a full refund . +255 CableModem NEG 2 buy it in Nov of 2009 . I have internet problem for several month and even have Comcast out to check my signal . they say everything be ok . I notice that the modem be warm to hot to the touch . I buy a Motorola modem and now everything be fine . would not buy another Linksys . +149 CableModem POS 5 install be fairly easy - have to call charter tech and they walk I through it & in 10 minute my internet be download 33 mg uploading 4 + mg - wow ! Super High speed ... Getcha some +578 CableModem NEU 3 on the good side , when it work , the basic internet connectivity work fine . I have have it for half a year now connect with Comcast , and never have any connectivity issue -lrb- unlike the comcast-provided basic Motorola modem -rrb- . on the bad side , it be the third unit by now . I have buy it at BestBuy , and they have be replace they without any question by just stop at the store . good luck shipping it back and forth if you buy it online . the first one have the cable connectivity and ethernet work fine but the WiFi just be not there , be not even show in the config menu . I have call the support and they have say to replace the unit , so I do . the second unit work fine for half a year until it die . there be a big thunderstorm on that day , which might be relate . it be be connect though a UPS _ and _ a surge protector , so the power line can not be the issue . and I have have a laptop sit next to it , plug directly into the wall , connect to WiFi . no problem with the laptop , the router be dead . perhaps it do not have the adequate protection on the antenna circuit . so now I have the third unit , again replace by warranty , and so far it work fine again . the other bad news be that it be quite feature-poor . no comparison at all to the router that Verizon provide with fio -lrb- and mind you , at no charge , unlike Comcast -rrb- . it can not do static address in the lan -lrb- you can leave a block for static address in dhcp but you can not hardcode fixed address in dhcp -rrb- . it can not do the local dn domain for the LAN . you can not assign symbolic name name nor fixed address to you dhcped machine . so if you have say a networked printer , reach it become not exactly straightforward . +820 CableModem POS 5 after Comcast increase my rental rate for they modem to $ 5\/month and after 8 year , decide to buy my own modem . Works great and be rather easy install . if you be on a mac and use wireless , it be much easier to use ethernet connection for the initial hookup . +173 CableModem POS 5 I have be use the 6121 modem with Comcast 's Xfinity internet service over the course of several month and so far everything have work perfectly with no problem . datum speed be typically 20-25 mb\/s download and 3.5-4 mb\/s upload . I buy this unit because I have read account of reset problem and other glitch experience by user of earlier Surfboard modem model , and thus far , it have meet my expectation for problem-free use . I feel the need to comment on the unit 's warmth , since other user have criticize this unit as become excessively warm during operation . maybe those user receive faulty unit , but my experience do not square with theirs ; I have put my hand on the unit multiple time to feel its warmth -- in my opinion , this unit do not become any warmer during use than any other electronic network device , include wireless router and voip adapter . I have use earlier surfboard modem -- the great 4200 and 5120 -- and I can honestly say that this unit do not get any warmer than those earlier model . it be slightly warm to the touch , but not overly `` hot '' at all , and I feel this be totally normal for this type of device . so , I be not concern with this aspect of the unit . once the modem be up and run , you can type 192.168.100.1 \/ index . htm into you web browser in order to reach the status page for the modem and view useful network statistics . +529 CableModem POS 5 I have a 8x1 cable splitter -lrb- cable to each room -rrb- and a splitter for broadband -lrb- before the 8x1 -rrb- . in addition , I get a tv tuning card for my pc that have separate input for analog and hd , so I need another splitter -lrb- after the 8x1 -rrb- . too many splitter be lower my video quality and make it difficult to receive hd signal on my tv tuning card . I leave the first splitter for the broadband -lrb- install by the cable co. -rrb- so that my broadband do not go through the BDA . then I insert the BDA on the video signal before the 8x1 splitter . now every cable output work perfectly with low noise on the analog channel and no difficulty on the hd channel . I have have this hook up for about 6 month now and never have a issue . it be nice to order something that work just as you would expect and hope . diff --git a/dev/Dumbbell.txt b/dev/Dumbbell.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..f15ebcd65d1454b2e6eed915caba636512086c5c --- /dev/null +++ b/dev/Dumbbell.txt @@ -0,0 +1,100 @@ +852 Dumbbell POS 5 I do not think this can replace work out but I do believe it compliment a workout very well . that be say I goof around with the female version of it for a few minute when I buy it for my wife and my arm be sore the next day , you can definitely feel the pump if you use it the right way . I be definitely go to order the male version of this . again it will not replace work out but it be a definite plus to add to a exist routine ... bring out that much more muscle definition that you just can not get on you own !!! Shake Weight Dumbbell +760 Dumbbell POS 5 I have want to own these for year but could never convince myself they be worth the price . well they be . they be compact , balanced and comfortable . and of course the best aspect be that they take up a square ft. of room when not in use . stop tip-toe ' g around you weight room floor and buy these now . +946 Dumbbell NEU 3 I get this cheapo barbell set at the same time I get a weight bench the best fitness bfob10 . however , this be not logn enough to fit the width of the barbell support , you can place one plate on the outer side of the support , but the other one be dangerously on the inner side if you catch my drift . I can not think of a better way to put that , but then again , I be not Roger Ebert . I will now have to get a more ` standard ' barbell and use this one for curl and such . maybe I can use the weight plate on a different barbell assume they have the same diameter . I assume that all barbell fit all weight bench , but I guess I live in a perfect world in my head . next time , I will know ... so buyer beware . on the whole , it be a good product , it come in a BROWN BOX !! that be all tape up for extra support I suppose . it be kind of awkward to lift and carry around and I think I throw my back try to lug this around . maybe if they have a smarter -lrb- and more expensive , as it always be -rrb- way of packaging this to where you could lift it safely assume you do not have a buddy . . and my poor UPS guy shoot I dagger cuz he break he back haul this thing and a weight bench on the same day lol . all in all , okay product but for the price , great product . +8 Dumbbell POS 5 this dumbbell be use by most sport club in my school as a standard training equipment . the design of this dumbbell prevent slip between you hand and bar by sweat . hexagonal bell prevent roll on the ground . Easy to grip and safe to use . highly recommend . +61 Dumbbell NEU 3 I think I be get a bargain . these be great dumbell , but they be 30 % cheaper locally . I think the mazon price be for a pair . it be not . +718 Dumbbell POS 4 I purchase these weight to aid in my at home work out . I go with this one because most of my work out have you use anywhere from 3-8lb weight to be effective . the weight come wrap in the box . you will have to put the stand together . to make my mine a little more sturdy -lrb- base on other review -rrb- I use longer screw to ensure that the wobble factor be not so much ! it do come with screw , but they be short and honestly seem plastic ! the stand be small and can be place anywhere you want or need it . . and I love that . the weight themselves be comfortable , easy to hold and due to they shape they do not roll when you place they down . for the price I would have only expect the stand to be of a better material or even the middle piece that hold the stand together-if those be make of metal , it would have be so much better ! but over all-this be nice and I be glad I buy this one . +9 Dumbbell POS 5 I be a 51 year young man and need a way to firm my upper chest and arm . I must say I read all the review good and bad . well let I tell you after 1 week with a 1 day break every 2 day , I sure can tell that I have really do some work on my muscle . but it hurt so good . it be very addicting and I do believe that this will do just what I expect of it . and yes the first use be a piece of cake , but beware it will sneak up on you for sure . Got my Motrin handy , , LOL . I think that the quality be just as describe and be not at all disappointed . look forward to the result I will get , I swear there be a slight change in my upper arm appearance already . I be happy and would recommend it to any man look to start out with a low impact approach to a work out regimen . it be give I a new out look on myself and also a drive to go on further down the road into a weight lifting workout program . look out boy here come Daddy . Shake Weight for Men Dumbbell +79 Dumbbell POS 4 we buy these because my partner and I have very different strength level and need . we have individual weight all around the house and it be get crazy . now we just have the powerblock and they work well for this purpose . they be a bit unwieldy to change the weight on -lrb- the Bowflex one seem better on this -rrb- and the square shape take some get use to , but in general we be highly satisfy with the purchase . we do not get the stand , but we would highly recommend it . +441 Dumbbell POS 5 I have be work out at home with p90x for about 4 week prior to purchase this stand . I have to say that the ability to not struggle and strain my back be definately worth the price . +881 Dumbbell POS 5 if you have the Selecttech Dumbells the stand be a must . it be not difficult to put together and be much easier to set the weight and grip\/lift the dumbbell +515 Dumbbell NEG 1 be look forward to use this product , it do not do what be suppose to . the shake be very limited and it jam at random interval . +592 Dumbbell POS 5 after read several review for various dumbbell rack , I finally settle on this product . it be well build for a home gym , easy to put together , and look professional . Hex type weight be the best fit . once you move to smaller `` plastic or vinyl cover '' weight , they do not fit as well . overall , I be very pleased and feel the rack be well worth the money ! +434 Dumbbell POS 5 I have purchase the 3 lb a while back , and I finally feel ready to graduate to something heavier , so I get the 5 lb . as be the case with the older set , this be a good and useful product . they do not roll and be comfortable to hold . +216 Dumbbell POS 5 I have see the commercial one night on television and say `` huh , you have get to be kid I '' . I wait many month before I decide to purchase this . I have lift weight since I be a teenager and do all kind of workout with weight in a gym and at home . when I try it I be impress with the result and know it be well worth the price . I do notice on the dvd -lrb- unsure if anyone else notice this -rrb- , but you see he on one arm shake it , then you see he on another , -lrb- unsure why that be -rrb- . I do notice that when you do take one day off then try it again the day after you rest it become harder . so when he say see you tomorrow you bet you should do it daily . as far as do it more then once in a day I would highly not advise this , find another exercise to do , just add more rep the next day if you feel that day workout be not as good as you hope it to be . I have have a few people come over my home and try it out . Grant it they do not lift weight like I have for many year , but these people be struggle and not complete the rep properly . if you want tone and better vascular development , then this be ideal for you !!! +660 Dumbbell POS 5 this be a hexhead dumbbell : hefty and solid and great for do exercise . it be simple , it be make of metal . it will not break unless you be try to destroy it . 30 pound be a lot for a beginner , but if you can do 20 or 25-lb bicep curl or tricep kickback with ease , it be time to move up . +707 Dumbbell NEG 1 do not buy ! only 1 dumb bell . it be not a pair . I do not care what the quaility be , if it be not a pair it do not serve the purpose . buy 2 make it too expensive . +951 Dumbbell NEG 1 I order what I think be a set of 2 barbell , after all , who buy only one barbell ? apparently , I do because when the shipment arrive , it contain only one . I be irritated with myself for not check the description more closely , but I be also annoy with Amazon for not make it more clear that the barbell be not a set . +605 Dumbbell POS 5 I recently order the PowerBlock Classic Adjustable Dumbbell set from Amazon . I have be look for a set of adjustable dumbbell and do quite a bit of research on the various product out there . the Bowflex SelectTech and PowerBlock adjustable dumbbell set seem to be the most discuss product , by far -lrb- there be set make by other manufacturer that I do not consider -rrb- . aesthetically , the Bowflex SelectTech dumbbell look more like `` normal '' dumbbell to I than the PowerBlock Adjustable Dumbbell set , which look clunky in picture due to they boxy form factor . initially , I figure I would purchase the Bowflex SelectTech dumbbell . fortunately , there be a Sports Authority near my house that carry the SelectTech dumbbell and I be able to test they out in person . even though the Bowflex SelectTech dumbbell look really nice , they form factor be actually quite wide , which I think might limit some people 's range of motion when perform certain dumbbell exercise . they also feel really cheap to I . the `` unique injection-molded plastic '' coating on the dumbbell do not feel durable and the dial feel flimsy . who know ? I be sure there will be those who swear by they . I have never own they ; I only test they out for 15 minute in the store . after my experience test the Bowflex SelectTech dumbbell , I go back to the draw board and start do research on the PowerBlocks . in general , the review that I find on Powerblocks be very positive , although they boxy form factor still look really odd to I . the price tag on the classic powerblock dumbbell set be a bit less than Bowflex SelectTech dumbbell , which be a immediate plus , but I do not have the luxury of test they in the store . that say , I be able to find several helpful powerblock review on YouTube that give I enough information about they to feel comfortable buy they without test they . so I order the classic powerblock set , which go from 5 to 45 pound , enough weight for what I do . Amazon ship this product out to I in a timely manner and so far I have no regret . out of the box , these dumbbell be ready for use -lrb- no assembly require -rrb- . there be a one-page instruction manual that come with they -lrb- explain how to use the magnetic selector pin -rrb- . all in all , these dumbbell feel really solid . although they look really boxy , they actually feel very natural unlike the SelectTech dumbbell , which be so wide . unlike the SelectTech dumbbell , which require you to turn four dial to set the desire weight -lrb- two dial on each dumbbell -rrb- , the PowerBlocks only require you to slide in a magnetic selector pin to set the weight on each dumbbell , which make it faster to change the weight as a pair -lrb- two `` click '' as oppose to four `` turn '' -rrb- . I should say one thing about the magnetic selector pin on the PowerBlock ... it take I a little while to get use to it . when it be set properly you will actually hear the magnetic selector pin `` click '' into place . the pin actually work great ; it just take I a few time to get the feel . that say , if the selector pin ever break , you can purchase a replacement pin for $ 10 dollar through PowerBlock . who know what would happen if you break the dial on the Bowflex SelectTech ... although you do not need to buy a stand for the PowerBlocks -lrb- I buy the tray -rrb- , you should at least use a flat surface to change the weight -lrb- hardwood\/tile\/concrete floor would probably be fine -rrb- . I find it be hard to change the weight on carpet . the tray , however , help and be a relatively cheap docking solution . overall , I be extremely satisfy with the PowerBlocks . they seem very solid , and I believe that they be a great investment overall . +542 Dumbbell NEG 1 after use , I think you could buy a bottle of water , drink the water , fill it half way up with sand and shake . the muscle benefit would be the same . +7 Dumbbell NEG 2 well I must say ... I read a bunch of review and hype on this item from Amazon customer so I go out and buy one . I be very disappointed with it . I watch the video , review the instruction , try it out for 24 hour and be take it back to Walgreens tomorrow for a refund . I feel this one be cheaply make and be rather a joke to try and use . maybe I be miss something here . needless to say , I be go back to walk around the football track and use free weight again . at least I know that work . +285 Dumbbell POS 4 I wish I could give star in half ; this product would get a solid 4.5 from I . round up to a 5 would mean folk who be not take the time to read the review might assume that there be really no room for improvement , but there be . after read this review you might think I work for Powerblock or something , but I do not . when you be spend between $ 150-400 on a set of `` high performance '' adjustable dumbbell , apply a bit of logic can go a long way for you satisfaction and safety . \*\*\* area that COULD USE IMPROVEMENT \*\*\* to help counteract the perceive bias I might have , I be gonna try something different ; I be go to start with the con of the Powerblocks . 1 . the magnet in the selector pin could be stronger . as a safety measure , there be magnet in the pin that hold it against the bar on the side of the weight stack , reduce the chance of it slip out during a exercise . this make a lot of sense , but the magnet be pretty weak . during some pretty basic exercise the magnet will come lose and lose they hold . now do not get freak out -- it be not like the pin fly out and it be scary to work out -lrb- there be a elastic band act as a backup safety also -rrb- . I be talk like millimeter here ; I can see that the pin have move just enough where you can tell the magnet be not hold . rather than a whole bunch of cheap magnet within the pin , two small high-quality earth magnet would give a better hold while still be pretty easy to remove . 2 . the weight selection process can be a bit finicky on carpet or non-flat surface . because there may be a bit of shift in the weight stack on carpet , sometimes it be tricky to stick the weight pin in correctly . I recommend leave these weight on a hard surface while in use , or better yet get the sport tray\/stand to accompany they . 3 . the pin can be put in crooked across two different weight . if you be not pay attention -lrb- and you should be ! -rrb- , it be somewhat easy to put the pin in crooked so that it cross two weight . you will probably notice this right away when you go to pick up the weight , and it be not that big of deal since the pin still hold onto the heavier weight , but possibly re-engineer the pin shape or something could help prevent this entirely . \*\*\*\* POWERBLOCK VS. the competition \*\*\*\* okay , now here be the part where you assume I work for Powerblock . let I say that this set of dumbbell -lrb- and the Powerblock line in general -rrb- be a much better choice than the selecttech -lrb- st -rrb- . while compare these 24-pounder to the 52 pound SelectTech 's be not really fair simply for weight comparison reason , I want to point out why I think this line be vastly superior : 1 . the bowflex selecttech 552 dumbbell and by the way , they be WIDE -- about 16 '' each . imagine do curl with 5 pound per hand and need thirty two inch across to do it -- make for a uncomfortable curl , especially for narrower people . the Powerblocks -lrb- PBs -rrb- , on the other hand , be narrower and more compact the less weight you add . all the stuff you do not need be leave on the floor , not in you hand . 2 . the st require you to turn two dial to appropriate number on each dumbbell . there be 15 different weight setting on the st , so what if you next weight be on the opposite side of the dial ? that be right , it will require eight click per SIDE of EACH DUMBBELL to pick up the new weight . that mean it take between 4 -lrb- minimum -rrb- and 32 -lrb- maximum -rrb- click of the dial to change weight each time . and you can not just flick the dial , either . the PBs , on the other hand , require two move no matter what weight you be select : pull the pin out , put the pin in . period . 3 . the st , while far `` cooler '' look , have a lot of plastic on they . pick a set up at you local Sports Authority and see if you can tell how the weigh selector mechanism work . then , consider how durable -lrb- and potentially unsafe -rrb- you think you $ 400 weight would be if you drop they . the pb be mostly metal , with the inner handle be the only thing that contain plastic , and it be not cheapo plastic either . if you drop they , I be guess they would hold up fine , although I would not recommend it . 4 . with the st you have to have the base to set the handle back into due to the design of the product . if you do not have a tray to hold all the weight that be leave behind , it would be a nightmare to put the handle back together and try and switch to another weight . in fact , I would like to see someone try = -rrb- the pb be self-contained , so they work fine without the stand . the weight that you do not pick up stay in a compact stack that will not move . \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* conclusion and summary \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* aside from those gripe , I really enjoy these Powerblocks . in fact , I grow out of they and trade up to the Sport 9.0 model -lrb- which I will review separately -rrb- . if 24 pound per arm be enough for you routine , it be a absolute no-brainer to pick these guy up . note that Amazon have build in the shipping cost to the price of these dumbbell . -lrb- edit 5\/25\/2012 : I notice today that Amazon be no longer include the shipping price in the cost . for 150 ship free , these be a great deal ! -rrb- pro + much more compact than the competition + quick weight change to ANY weight + well built\/durable + great price on the lower weight set -lrb- if 24 be all you need -rrb- con - magnet in pin could be stronger - do not work quite as well on carpet - possible to put the pin in crooked if you be not pay attention +225 Dumbbell POS 4 safety be the key when purchase gym equipment . never consider price over safety . 1 . the quality be great . paint steel look amazing , and with the cool decal , look professional . 2 . it have a smaller footprint to take less romm in a personal gym . 3 . it hold we 5-50 pound dumbbell set , minus the 5 and 10 pound set very well . 4 . build time be 40 minute . the cross bar get bolt down to the main frame . nice corrosion treat hardware with locknut . 5 . price be stunning consider the other unit available . I recommend this for the beginner . +470 Dumbbell NEG 2 well ... I mess up on order this , it be now sit in a basket that I probably will not touch again . it be not easy ... and of course all of the ad make it look like it be . I would just rather use hand weight . I would not buy it again ! +763 Dumbbell POS 4 this be item be awesome will highly recommend purchase the bowflex selecttech 552 dumbbell with the stand . the stand be the key component you do not have to bend to pick up the weight its located at the proper height , make it very convenient to do you rep and ease to change the weight . the downside be that the weight do slip sometime would recommend jingle the dumbbell before remove from cradle to insure the proper weight be lock to the dumbbell and not fall on you foot or toe -lrb- that would hurt pretty bad -rrb- . one other thing the stand be miss label so double check with diagram before tighten nut and bolt of the initial stand . +137 Dumbbell POS 5 the dumbell rack arrive in a timely fashion . it be easy to assemble . it be compact enough to fit into a area of the basement workout area without take over excess workout space . the design allow you to get the weight off the lower rack with ease . it fit a wide range of weight type which we have acquire over the year . all but my teeny 1,2,3 lb weight fit on . +670 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy the Shake Weight a week ago and already I be notice result ! I have more definition in my biceps . the 6 minute work out be really quick but I feel like I be get a way better arm workout than I would at the gym . I will continue to use this product ! +299 Dumbbell NEU 3 let 's get something clear right away -- the Shake Weight do NOT come close to replace weight-lifting or other more intense resistance exercise . those that do light calisthenics or nothing at all will be please with the Shake Weight . it give a quick `` pump '' to you arm and provide some `` toning '' to the muscle in a very short period of time . the benefit be short-lived and very limited . even do the Shake Weight routine several time a day will not produce much muscle gain . you would be much better off do a weight resistance program that break down muscle tissue and repair it larger and stronger over time . if you be sedentary and want to do a very basic , easy exercise that take little time , the Shake Weight might be right for you . just be aware of its limitation and be realistic about the result you 'll get . +925 Dumbbell NEG 2 I normally read review first before purchase a item but figure I be pretty safe with some light-weight dumbbell . I wish I would have read the review because now I have only 1 dumbbell in 3 different weight - thanks Amazon ! maybe just a note to buyer that the purchase be NOT for a set - which be normally how light weighted dumbbell be offer . now I be stick with purchase the mate which now make the item not such a good buy after all , it would cost too much for return shipping - ugghh ! +467 Dumbbell POS 5 Whenever I be use this beauty -lrb- and it be often -rrb- , my wife usually give I a exasperated look , roll she eye , and mumble something I can never understand , but I suspect that it have more to do with the fact that I be work in my home office , whilst ` shake-weight-ser-siz-ing ' , than anything else . I say , `` its multitasking - get over it '' ! as a video editor in the man 's adult film industry , I do not get a lot of free time to hit the gym -lrb- not that they even have these beauty there anyway -rrb- - so , it be important for I to make the most of my waking hour , and fit some sort of physical activity in at some point -lrb- bmus 43 - yike , I know -rrb- . since I start my daily , high-rep , high-intensity , bootcamp style , 60 minute , shake weight workout regimen -lrb- just over 6 month ago -rrb- , I have see obvious and wonderful result . I have never churn butter or plunge a toilet so well ! exceed my expectation ! recommend ! +922 Dumbbell POS 5 if you be look for adjustable dumbbell then you know the price vary but hover around $ 300 for a set . the powerblock be the best . I just start p90x 2 week ago and i have to change weight so quickly these thing be awesome ... in\/n\/out , 5 seconds later i be ready to go with a new weight and talk about space-saver ; OMG these thing take up no room at all . they be pricey but you will not regret you purchase unless you leave they sit around to get dusty : -rrb- +153 Dumbbell NEU 3 I guess they serve the purpose , but do not be a fool get something of better quality . the bar come in two piece . . so retard , +479 Dumbbell NEG 2 I get it , use it , do not really work . it make sense when I see the infomercial , but when I get it , I realize that no one can ever get `` buff '' use it . +56 Dumbbell POS 5 Ok , I use to bike , run a little and dream about swimming . that be before get married and the kid . well , I have hit the age where they tell you you will lose 1 pound of muscle per year . thanks for all that . for I to work my upper body , I have push up bar , a assortment of 40 pound weight , some stretch cable - all of which I have not use for more than 3 year . I need a quick workout to maintain tone . I just open the package 10 minute ago and do the 3 exercise for about five minute . holy Batman ! it work . maybe , it be because I use to work out a little when I be younger -lrb- muscle memory -rrb- . but the blood be back in those muscle , my pec , delt , lat , biceps and forearm . it be true that balanced workout work both side of the muscle . I could never do that with conventional weight or by do pushup . for a busy person - this be a quick way to maintain tone . highly recommend ! -lrb- note : not that I think only my opinion matter , but a lot of review seem to be sabotage review or fake complaint . this product would not have make it to market if it do not work , no matter how `` as see on tv . '' -rrb- thanks Amazon , you make it so easy to buy . I want to work for Amazon . +59 Dumbbell POS 5 highly recommend buy this rack to safely store you weight . pick they up from this base , save the chance of pull out you back each time you restack , plus help to take care of the system , which can break if mishandle . very solid frame , and tasteful design . +284 Dumbbell POS 4 I like these dumbbell a lot , in fact , I believe they be the best and safest adjustable dumbbell on the market . however , they be not without some drawback and risk . for example , it be very important that the pin assembly in place through the hole straight and not upside down . if you do not check this , it be possible a plate can break loose . there be a backup elastic strap that will protect you in most exercise , but not all . overall , these dumbbell be comfortable and more compact than the round type for a give weight range across the same number of increment . they be not awkward to lift , but as you go to larger set , it become difficult to get a full range of motion for some exercise such as upright row because of they length . the smallest set of this type be in my opinion the best and most convenient . if you go beyond this range , you can add additional dummbell as you need they or get a upgrade kit . however , I like these less as they get bigger . in general , I wholeheartedly recommend this product and the stand that come with it . if you make pin adjustment on the floor , especially on carpet , it be more likely you will make a error in pin placement that could cause a injury . if you circuit train with very little rest between set , these be a must have and I also find they be great for use on a stability ball to simultaneously hit the core muscle . +889 Dumbbell POS 5 I be a woman so I buy the shake weight for woman but as I use it more and more , I realize eventually I will want the heavier man 's model . do not get the man 's 5 lb shake weight unless you know you can handle it ! the 2 lb woman 's model be great ! I can see the difference already ! +736 Dumbbell POS 5 the assembly be easy - take around 20 min . to tighten 12 bolt . the frame be very solid and the paint job be good . +697 Dumbbell NEG 1 I guess I be the idiot . none of the ad say it be power so why do I assume it be ? it be a dumb bell you shake . and a little awkward to hold on top of that . it weigh a little less than 6 lb . a pair of 3 lb dumbell would be better for a lot less . +904 Dumbbell POS 5 this be now week six for I . I can not believe my eye . I use it everyday . I can only do one minute behind my head for my triceps because it burn so much . I have increase from one minute to three minute in front for my biceps . I try this because $ 15 be nothing after ready that many people love it . I think if you be a gym rat , this be not for you , however , many woman have really poor arm strength and this be a wonderful start . my arm be tone and the fat be disappear . I have lose one inch on each arm because I measure it before I start use it . once this become too easy , I plan on buy the man 's Shake Weight . +549 Dumbbell POS 4 the stand do what it be make for . I like it because I can move the dumbbell easily to my designate workout area and then back to the corner of the room when I be finish . it be really more of a convenience and not a necessity to have . the only thing I do not like be that the stand I get be somewhat uneven on the bottom . that be probably why they give you adjustable wheel and peg because the company must have be aware that the quality vary and they can not make the piece perfectly even . +814 Dumbbell POS 4 it take alittle practice to feel like you be do it right , but it work , and that be the main thing . +835 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy these dumbbell as a secondary set to the 5-50 lb . powerblock I buy only a few week before . I like the first product so much that I buy the lighter set so my husband and I can lift together . these be extremely easy to use and surprisingly compact . I go to the fitness store and look at these and the Selecttechs side by side and be astonish by the length of the Selecttechs . in my opinion , that product would not work for woman due to how long the bar be to accommodate all the weight . though this system be a little oddly shaped -lrb- blocky -rrb- it be much more compact and thus easier to manipulate . true , it take a little time to find a comfortable grip for a few exercise -lrb- such as thing behind the head -rrb- but once you know what work for you the system make lift easy . +513 Dumbbell POS 5 I love have a full set of freeweight in the size of one pair ! just gotta be careful when you be switch weight because if you have the clip on a diagonal it get dangerous and awkard . overall it be great !! +401 Dumbbell NEG 2 so far many of the review have be from people who have own the system for personal use . I do not dispute that the system be well suit for that . however for the past year I have see they appear more frequently in hotel gym . the benefit to the hotel of course be that it take up very little space . the problem however be that it just do not hold up well under heavy use . at every hotel where I have find this in use , all of they be damage and therefore unusable beyond a certain weight level . the problem seem to be that the lock key bend . I suspect this be a result of someone incorrectly insert the key and force it through , cause it to warp . once the damage be do , there be no way to correct it short of take it to the machine shop and bend it back into shape or buy a new set of key . so if you be someone who be put in the position of choose something to put in you hotel 's gym , for you customer 's sake , DO NOT choose this device . either get traditional free weight -lrb- no move part therefore nothing to break -rrb- . or get something like a iron master . +436 Dumbbell POS 5 I do not know how we move we Bowflex SelectTech weight without this stand . the wheel lock so it be solid when you do not want it to move . +330 Dumbbell POS 5 the weight come quickly and we be better than I could have expect . I use they everyday and have see no wear or issue with they what so ever . the stand look really flimsy when I first take it out but it be small and lightweight but defiantly do the trick . altogether it be the perfect set for my home workout . +113 Dumbbell POS 5 the barbell be perfectly fine , the gray be a nice color , and shipping be prompt -lrb- with Amazon -rrb- . my only issue be that I have search for a hand weight SET , and this be only one weight . for $ 16 , I feel that it be a little pricey and I obviously have to buy another to complete the set . +313 Dumbbell NEG 1 I purchase the above Shake Weight after finally find it for a really good price . I be excite to take it home and use it to firm my arm . I do the exercise and follow the program from the include dvd for the appropriate amount of time . eventually , I notice nothing be happen !! my arm be tire , but no increase muscle tone or definition . complete Waste of money and time ! do not buy it ... you better off use normal 3-10 pound weight and do simple arm exercise . -lrb- the reviewer be compensate for post this review . however , the opinion state in the review be that of the reviewer and the reviewer alone . further , the reviewer independently select this product to review and have no affiliation with the product maker\/distributor , Amazon or the review requester . -rrb- +140 Dumbbell NEG 2 I do not have space for a lot of exercise equipment but I be interested in strength training and lifting weight . my brother have a shake weight and love it so I decide to get one too . after give it a chance , I have come to the conclusion it be just not for I . I can not seem to get it to work as seemlessly as they do on the dvd workout . plus it be only two and a half pound so it do not do much when I be use to use five pound weight . I suppose it be responsible for somewhat tone my arm but I prefer regular weight . it be a nice idea in theory , but hard to use in real life . +419 Dumbbell POS 5 this product be well make , easy to assemble -lrb- even for a chick -rrb- and be very sturdy . +248 Dumbbell NEG 1 this product be too light to really be of much use as far as result be concern . guess if you do no physical activity it might make a difference . +920 Dumbbell POS 5 these weight be as good as all the review . Easy to adjust and seem to be very sturdy . you just have to make sure they be sit on a hard surface or the pin will not want to slide back in properly . +102 Dumbbell NEU 3 I just buy the Shake Weight at Wal-Mart for -lrb- ... -rrb- in they as see on tv section to try it out . so far 9 out of 10 as see on tv item that I have buy have a be a joke . -lrb- Shoes under be the only one I keep and even then I almost do not because it be so flimsy . -rrb- I like to try out the product to see if it work and because it be Wal-Mart I have no problem return it . I do not know how I be go to do that with the Shake Weight because as far as I can see there be no way to test to see if it actually work . how long do it take to make my arm look better ? -lrb- I think this be why there be virtually no review as yet , people can not tell if it be work and they get tire of it before it be obvious that it be or be not work . -rrb- but here 's what I have get so far : `` Feel the burn '' : it be true that you biceps do start to `` burn '' while you be use this product but I think that be from have they unnaturally clench for 6 minute straight while you shake yourself to death . -lrb- yes , this be how the product work , you bicep muscle clench up and stay that way while you be do this exercise . -rrb- I be always teach to do `` rep '' during strength training which allow the muscle to tense and rest every few seconds while you work it use resistance -lrb- i.e weight -rrb- . `` it be a weight '' : no , not really . it have a little bit of weight to it but there do not seem to be any resistance to this tool and it seem that 6 minute of continuously have you tensed muscle shake would just hurt you -lrb- hence the `` burn . '' -rrb- not to mention that even if the product do work there be no way to add more weight to it and you muscle would quickly outgrow it . then it be obsolete . `` shake '' : when do shake fat to shrink it come back in style ? remember those old contraption fat man in sweat shirt would be strap into and it would shake they belly in the hope that it would make they smaller ? there be a reason you do not see those anymore . they do not work and they be dangerous . `` Dynamic Inertia '' : go ahead , Google it . you will not find it anywhere on the web unless it be in connection to the shake weight . when do a product get to coin new physics terminology ? and exactly what do it mean ? `` it look silly and kinda pervert '' : the product do not claim this but almost everyone else do . the product do look like a elegant massage toy and face it , you do look and feel silly shake you arm fat everywhere . -lrb- hey , if you do not have arm fat then you would not be use it . -rrb- and pervert , well , there be even a spoof video on YouTube that be so r-rated that I refuse to discuss it further here . other review on the web : there be like 4 and I think they be all write by the people who make -lrb- or sell -rrb- the product . they have almost nothing negative to say about the Shake weight and one woman even claim it make she boob bigger . yeah right . and finally , the price : -lrb- this be maybe the only good thing about this item . -rrb- it seem as if the manufacturer can not agree on how much this thing should cost . they infomercial list it at a bargain at 19.99 plus shipping and handling -lrb- which I think be like another 7 or 8 buck -rrb- and Wal-Mart have it simply for the -lrb- ... -rrb- . so what be up with they sell it on Amazon for almost double the price ? well , it turn out that the the manufacturer be not the one sell the item . jwwbooks4 be the company sell it through Amazon and I guess they be hope to make a big profit . it be a little shady in my opinion . final Verdict : I guess I be go to see if actually work . hey , I have get 90 day through Wal-Mart , but I be not go to hold my breath for result . if you do decide to try it , go to Wal-Mart and save yourself the shipping and the handle through the infomercial , or the extra 17 dollar they be charge through Amazon . hey , you do have the option to save yourself the headache altogether and do not bother to buy it at all . you can get a decent set of weight for about the same price . +778 Dumbbell NEU 3 it be okay . it be what I order , although I be not sure it produce the remarkable result as advertise . arrive timely . +886 Dumbbell POS 5 I work out at home use dumbell and a number of bodyweight exercise . my dumbbell collection have grow cumbersome and messy , so I look around for a way to organize these dumbell in my room , and this rack be perfect . I do look at a number of rack both online and in rl , but the majority be way over my budget , have crippling shipping charge or be too limit in term of they capacity to space ratio . I be just about ready to fabricate my own when I find this on Amazon . after read the review and crunch the number , I decide to give this a shot . I be happy to report this have completely solve my dumbbell storage problem . \*\*\* this rack arrive a couple of day before anticipate ; with the use of a single crescent wrench , I put it together without assistance in the space of a hour or so . well within 2 hour of open the box , it be in place and hold weight . it be solidly make of heavy gauge steel and quality weld cover in a tough tactile coating material . the construction method be of simple carriage bolt and nylon insert locknut assembly . it ship with rubber covering for the foot and all orifice . \*\*\* the actual dimension of this rack be 36.75 '' x 24 '' x 32 '' -lrb- W x d x h -rrb- . add at least a foot to the height for the minimum workable usage space -lrb- for lift the weight in and out -rrb- . I have fill it be available space with set of 10-50 # dumbbell in 5 # increment . for the past month , it have hold 540 # and remain absolutely rock solid . from the feel of the thing , it could hold easily twice this weight without issue . \*\*\* Highly recommend for personal use or even tight boutique space . +979 Dumbbell POS 5 I use these in my indoor gym and the rubber coating protect my hardwood floor from scratch . I have the cap barbell weight on my barbell 46 lb . bar and they resist scratch on my floor as well . +945 Dumbbell POS 5 this item be just what I be look for . its simply make and easy to use . Great for quick one handed workout . +115 Dumbbell POS 5 I be so sorry to hear that some people be hurt themselves with this item . I have have no problem at all with it and I be very happy with it . I be so bad about do thing consistently and almost do not get this just because I figure it would end up sit around gather dust remind I of what I should be do to get in better shape before it be all down to my ankle . but I have no problem find the time to work out with this . who do not have 6 minute ? it be definitely a work out and I can feel it afterward but not in a bad way . I do not do the behind the head thing for the first several day - perhaps a week or more of use it daily - until I feel more confident with the item itself and comfortable with how it work and shift and all that . then I do not push it because you can feel that you be work on area that usually do not get much attention . if you do it right and as someone else mention `` listen to you body '' you can actually work out stress kink in you neck . I stretch with it in my hand first and I do long slower movement with it at first too to sort of loosen up . just like before any exercise - you should get you muscle warm up first . you should never just jump right in and do vigorous exercise or any exercise you have never do before without test the water first anyway . only you know you body and what it be strength and weakness be . I tend to have problem in my right arm and hand so I try and build up the strength in that arm by do shorter work out with it but more often . since I be horribly right handed - my right hand take all the abuse and all the activity so my left arm be worthless too but in a different way - I work that one out for longer stretch though not as many time during a workout as the right . I end up do they both about the same I just spread out the right one more so I do not aggravate exist problem there and hopefully strengthen it so that the muscle will be stronger and less susceptible to minor tweak and twinge . my arm be get icky flabby even though I be relatively active just because I be not a spring chicken anymore -lrb- though I 'll deny it if you say it out loud to my face -rrb- and they be look - oh i do not know - weird ... lol - but they look so much better now . I swear by this product . just do not go crazy with it right away and do not try and do what the fitness freak do unless you be already one . do what you know you can do and then just push the envelope at you pace a little more everyday . I increase my rep by at least 5 or 10 every work out . now I extend the length of the whole work out itself . I have even start use it to work different area that make my back feel great . oh and this be probably obvious yet it never hurt to mention this - you should really make sure you always drink plenty of water and especially after a work out . that help you muscle too - a lot !!! it really can not be overstate . -lrb- no - I do not work for any organization affiliate or associate with this product -rrb- . +968 Dumbbell POS 5 this have to be one of the best investment I have make . I use to buy a specific weight dumbbell think that I would use it for a while before increase the weight . when I start p90x , I realize that I need multiple weight and I need to be able to change the weight fast to keep up with the video . this be where the PowerBlock weight shine . the transition between the weight be flawless -lrb- with PowerBlock Sport Tray -rrb- . I be hesitant to spend so much money on dumbbell , but I can not imagine have multiple set of weight all over my house that would probably cost much more . I have to mention that the magnet design in my opinion be superior to the Bowflex SelecTech dumbbell for a couple of reason . as mention before by other review , the SelecTech be a little on the bulky side and create awkward movement in you workout because you 'll constantly be try to avoid contact with the dumbbell . it be kind of hard to explain , but the Bowflex dumbbell extend wider with add weight . my friend have the SelectTech and he always have to wear tight clothing so the gated part of the dumbbell be not catch in he shirt . another problem be that the weight selection dial break when all my friend do be drop the dumbbell inch from the ground . I think the quality would be a little better than that . it take he forever to get a replacement . this be the main reason why I look for a alternative . I never have any such problem with my PowerBlocks and it only take I a couple of try to memorize the color\/weight indicator . the weight always seem secure and I can do multiple workout in less time with a each switch of my select weight . I recommend this product for anyone who utility multiple weight do workout -lrb- which be pretty much everyone -rrb- . you will not regret the investment . +229 Dumbbell POS 5 I do not know why other don ; t like it may be they be seriously body builder . . but for young adult who only want to be physically fit this be good start . also you can use this for warm up before you start dumbbell . if you be busy at work and have no time you can use this even 3 minute only . +777 Dumbbell NEU 3 this dumbbell rack be not bad for a `` make in China '' product . it go together in minute and be pretty sturdy , even with all my dumbbell -lrb- 5 pair , 10-30lb -rrb- on it . the hard plastic ` foot ' take some wiggle to get on , I have to tap they on with a soft mallet . the paint finish be pretty good -lrb- a textured dark gray -rrb- , but as with most thing make in China , I wonder if the paint contain lead or some other noxious ingredient . the item be packed pretty well , everything be wrap in a thin padding material and the bolt , nut and washer -lrb- shocker , washer be include ! -rrb- be shrunk-wrapped to a piece of cardboard . the include instruction be clear and straightforward , but honestly , if you need instruction to assemble this product , you need to go back to school ; -rrb- I would recommend this product . +151 Dumbbell POS 5 my yorkie be very picky about she treat but she love these . they keep she busy chew which be a nice break from the whining ! anybody who have ever own a yorkie know how much attention they will demand from you ... these treat give she something to do when I need to get thing do . love they ! +286 Dumbbell NEG 1 when I receive the apex rack , it have obviously be use . everything be out of the packaging , and be rewrapped lazily and quickly . all of the bolt and washer be loose in the box , and some be suprisingly miss . the rack be scratch and dent , probably since it be use previously . I buy this as a new item , but it be not even close . very disappointing . +712 Dumbbell NEU 3 from what I can tell this stand be a solid piece of equipment . my only problem be I can not put it together . nautilus send you these screw which they apparently expect you to be able to tighten with a hex screw . one a piece of equipment like this that you really want to make sure the screw be tight - it be impossible to get these thing on . I have hurt my hand several time try to tighten these thing . as it be now - the stand wobble back and forth . you would think they would know this be a BIG problem and would use REGULAR bolt or screw !! until I receive some new screw from Bowflex - I can not and would not recommend anyone buy this product . oh yes - like everyone else have say - the instruction manuel be AWFUL !!! +371 Dumbbell POS 4 just as advertise ... do the job . Great for hex dumbbell 20 lb . & up . the end on smaller dumbbell be not tall enough to rest in the cradle , so they just rest on the handle instead . this make it easy to smash a finger-if you be not careful-when put they on the stand . +226 Dumbbell POS 5 great tasting , all 3 dog love em , and easy for the older dog to eat too . +10 Dumbbell POS 5 it say what it say and do work i only get this the 5th and and only be work with for a short time and already can feel the burn from work out and work with these few day the only down fall to this be that it only work you arm so far from what i have see on the cd that come with it i be more want to work on my belly and ab but if you want a good working and sweat alot from the work and burn then this be the thing for you . . although i give it a 5 it be not a bad workout weight . +200 Dumbbell POS 5 this be a great price for this dumbbell set and no shipping charge . I go to a couple of sport store and they price be outrageous . they be all ask about $ 2.00 + a pound per dumbbell , ouch . the shipment come quickly in 4 or 5 business day . well worth the wait . the stand be not the greatest but it work just fine if you be not go to be move it about . at the store the stand be a extra $ 20.00 or more . the dumbbell fit nicely in you hand and do not slip if you hand sweat . I would highly recommend buy this set . +869 Dumbbell POS 5 three word describe what I think about this product . love , love , love . I love how easy it be to put together , I love how sturdy it be and I love the price . I be able to put it together in very little time . my one complaint be the plastic and cardboard the nut and bolt come in open up before it arrive to my home . I be miss one washer , so the manufacturer could improve there , although I really like the picture on the cardboard , do not even need instruction . I have 8 set of weight on it now , start at 5 pound and increase in 5 pound increment . I be a little nervous on how much it would hold , due to how inexpensive it be . I have no need to worry , it work great and look wonderful in my home gym . I highly recommend . +891 Dumbbell POS 5 these PowerBlock dumbbell be great . they be compact and switch the amount of weight be really quick and easy . we also have the Bowflex adjustable dumbbell , but compare to the PowerBlocks they be large and cumbersome . I wish I have get the PowerBlocks to begin with ! the only thing that could have make this product better be if it come with the holder and\/or stand . I do not knock of any star for that , though , since it be clear from the product description . +767 Dumbbell NEG 2 this shake weight be power by ... you . I must have conveniently block it out of my brain while watch the infomercial . seriously think you turn it on and it shake ... and you use you muscle to hold it in place , thereby burn the fat . NOT SO . you shake this thing and geesus , I can barely make it to the 2 min mark . hit my face a couple of time . and then shake it from side to side - uh , that be IMPOSSIBLE . it be not that it take up so much energy I cant do it , but i cant even START to shake it from side to side -lrb- hold it like a steer wheel and shake leave to right -rrb- . I be 34b in chest , 5 ' 3 , 118lb and workout my arm 3-4x a week . I seroiusly can not see how a woman w \/ a bigger chest can manage this little shakeweight . I keep it for 3 day , it go back . do not waste you money ... weight be so much better ... this thing be so tiring by the time i even complete the 1st minute , im do . those woman on tv use the shake weight , must have have major practice doin it , causeit not even as close to be as ez as it look . +380 Dumbbell POS 4 this be a nice , sturdy rack . it hold most weight just fine . the only reason I do not give 5 star be some of my weight -lrb- the color one with foam type handle -rrb- will not fit . they be too small so I need to find a separate storage rack for those . +491 Dumbbell POS 5 I look for hour in all the wrong place . I think I need to go to the standard weight-lifting site to find a good dumbbell rack , but I be wrong . prior to this , the best price I find be $ 120 . I decide to look at Amazon for grin , and find what I be really look for . the product be solid , it ship fast , and it be simple to assemble . ignore the ciritial opinion ; they fix all the problem . the nut and bolt be all on a piece of cardboard with shrink-wrap plastic around it . do not waste you time look for a better deal -- this be it ! +585 Dumbbell POS 5 my fiance buy I this set for Xmas and I absolutely love they . I live in a 1 bedroom condo and I be run out of room in my living room for all my dumbbell . I can already see I save to get the next size up ... which I be sure I 'll be need before next year . I have very small hand and the grip on these be just perfect to grasp they . another thing I be worry about be place they on my shoulder ... they do not fit up there perfectly , but they do not fit up there uncomfortably either . another thing be they be not incredibly cumbersome . when you get out of 20 pounder , the dumbbell end become thick and big and hard for my little hand to grasp ... not a problem with my powerblock ... then end be always easy to grasp and seem to stay the same size through the increment ... which be perfect for my extra small hand . I work out to Videos and have to pause the video in order to change the pin to a different weight , but it do not take I long to get use to change the pin into the correct increment and I be get faster with it all the time . I have be slowly give away my dumbbell because they just be not need anymore and I can not say enough about the powerblock ... can not wait to buy my next set . I be think though that a stand would make change increment easier ... but for now ... I 'll make do . +849 Dumbbell NEG 1 I be surprise to see this item have positive review . I be happy that it apparently do work for some people . however , in my opinion , it be just another gimmick . shake you way to more muscular arm use something so light ? yes , you might feel something -lrb- and be careful that it be not pain due to injury that you be feel ! -rrb- but you can do this type of exercise use just about anything of the same weight -lrb- whether it be a water bottle or a can of soup , etc -rrb- . I do try this product and , personally , I recommend good old fashion push-up instead . specifically tricep push-up if you be aim to work on toning\/defining that `` under the arm '' area -lrb- below you biceps -rrb- . you have three different muscle in you tricep area -lrb- thus , the name , as `` tri '' mean `` three '' -rrb- . it be not logical to use a light weight dumbbell and `` shake '' you way to definition\/strength of all these muscle . nose crusher and dip be a few other exercise that be great for the triceps . this area can be a problem area for both man and woman but from my experience , more woman seem to be bother by it . dip would be perfect for woman who do not want to develop a more `` bulky '' appearance as you use you own body weight against you while nose crusher would be best for man as you can use the weight of you choice and keep increase it as you progress . -lrb- please note : dip be a common exercise , as be Nose Crushers , but Nose Crushers MIGHT be know by a different name by you personal trainer -rrb- . of course , tricep push-up be very effective for both sex . one of my main reason for be unhappy with this product be the very high risk of injury that can be cause from do these exercise . not just the chance of pull a muscle , but it also increase you chance of head , neck and shoulder injury -lrb- which take forever to recover from -rrb- . tricep push-up , dip & nose crusher be excellent exercise for the tricep muscle that do not have a high risk of injury to any of these area -lrb- with the exception of nose crusher - if you do not have a spotter and do drop the barbell on you nose , well , like the name of the exercise state , you nose will be crush ! -rrb- +132 Dumbbell POS 4 these barbell work just fine , they be very effective for tone the arm . forget the weird smell of the rubber , if you can get pass that it be all good . +949 Dumbbell POS 5 I have see great improvement in my arm from this shake weight . arm be no longer flabby . it be easy to use , I always exercise to the include dvd , only 6 minute . this work much better than equipment at the gym and traditional weight . +2 Dumbbell POS 4 it seem to work some muscle that be not work before . limited amount of way a person can use it . I find a few more way I could use it that be not on the dvd . I think the price be to high , price of $ 29.95 . it be price the same locally but by buy it from Amazon I save on the shipping and tax and it be deliver to my door . price for it will probably go down after a while . over all I like it . down side be it ` s limit use . +416 Dumbbell NEG 1 I will not argue that use this product will give you muscle fatigue\/burning when use . do that mean you be go to get rip result ? absolutely not . my friend stupidly go out and buy one of these . he use it religiously every day because it tire he out when he use it . I use it once and could not help but laugh at the product . the fact that people believe this product will give you rip muscle , as this product be market , be laughable . every review on here harp about the burn they feel after use this . guess what ? hold you arm straight out and move they in small circle for 60 seconds will give you more a burn than this ever will . go do that for 10 minute a day and tell I how `` rip '' you get do it . +739 Dumbbell NEG 2 I feel tire after use this for 6 minute and definitely feel pain in my arm but I never notice any difference . overall it seem pretty isolate in the muscle group that it work and it be extremely boring and be quickly put away and forget . +537 Dumbbell NEU 3 this a no frill product , the weight be pretty much as advertise . the problem with it be that a -rrb- there be no assembly instruction for the rack b -rrb- the component of the rack be not label -- I find out that the dowel be not interchangeable , mean each dowel , and its end , fit into a specific location . this be not mention anywhere since there be no assembly instruction . I read review prior to order the product and see highly conflicting view . some thought -lrb- more actually -rrb- that the rack be useless while other , a few , think that the rack be nice and convenient . keep these in mind , I decide to play around with the dowel when they do not seem to fit well and sure enough I figure thing out and be able to assemble the rack quite well . a lot of people will not bother to figure out how to assemble it properly . of course it be nothing special , in fact one can call it cheap , but it can be use . my suggestion be to enclose assembly instruction complete with dowel label . +645 Dumbbell NEU 3 I do not buy this from amazon . I have purchase it from bowflex 's web site on a father day special for $ 50.00 . just a warning , these be as heavy as one of the set of barbell i have buy . as I see many people post `` workout , before workout . '' it be nice , but not necessary and it be heavy . just my two cent . +908 Dumbbell POS 5 I have be go to my local masseuse for a while now and I always try to tip she well , but lately she have be a bit lazy and just have not be give I the best massage at all . I be give she this for she birthday -lrb- she say she be a leo -rrb- , in the hope that my next tuus na body rub session be more satisfying and she muscle more in shape when it count . +235 Dumbbell POS 4 I purchase these on sale at a local sport store . I be in love with the design and basic concept and i be in a hurry . but I buy the one that be only expandable to 50 pound assume I could get a expander kit to 90 pound . apparently the classic be not expandable . so I will return these and purchase the 90 pound version . +452 Dumbbell POS 5 okay , when you first look at these you get that feeling and ask question like , be they for real ? what be the deal with the squareness ? I ask those same question until I personally see and use these . all I have to say be these be the best adjustable dumbbell out there . yes , the Bowflex one be cool and everything , but personally they be not worth it . they be extremely long , almost double the length of the Powerblocks . for just 10 pound , its the same length even for 50 with the Selectechs . the powerblock be small and be very easy to use . I love how the pin be magnetic and the square shape show how sturdy they be and they be definetly sturdy . they may rattle a bit on some weight but do not be turn off . the weight will never fall off if you make sure you put the pin in the right weight . the main reason I buy these be for p90x and they go together perfectly . do not just go off the negative review until you actually see and use these weight personally . I even get to try out the Bowflex one but the length be a huge turn off for I and I hear they break easily and be a bitch to fix . so , if you be a first time adjustable dumbbell buyer like myself , I stronly recommend the Powerblocks so go down to you local sport goods store and take a look at these . +771 Dumbbell NEG 1 I buy this dumbbell under the immpression that it be sell as a pair . not the case , I only receive one dumbbell . also , the condition be heavily use . the neoprene be rip in several place . the website list the condition as used-like new . I have never review any of the product I have boughten on amazon before . but this be such a rip-off I feel I need to warn other who may be consider this dumbbell . +344 Dumbbell POS 5 I also buy these for the Chalene Extreme work out which require many weight change , and they work fantastically . change the weight take some get use to , but I be get use to it and be able to make the change quickly enough to keep up with the workout video . I do a lot of research on adjustable weight , read many customer review , and visit several sport goods store to `` touch '' the adjustable weight in stock , and decide the powerblock be the way to go . I be a little hesitant as they be not returnable , and they look funny , but I be very pleased with the product . as soon as I take they out of the box , it be obvious to I that they be a quality product , and a great value in comparison to the price of all the other adjustable dumbbell set out there .

I really feel the burn in my arm and shoulder . however , it be only a good tool . if you want to look buff like the guy in the infomercial from use shake weight , unlikely . to gain muscle mass , you need wide range of body movement with heaier weight .

I get exactly what I pay for and do not regret it . these be not ... oh ... qulity weight . the plastic smell funny and remind I of a toy that you would buy at the drugstore . the bar have a feel like the metal in the tool that you can buy at Harbor Freight ... yeah , it be metal , but some kind of weird , cheap ore that must only be avialable in China . the weight spin on the bar no matter what I do . but yeah , I be totally happy with my cheap , junky weight set , if that make any sense .

I be also not able to find any square end Cap . the left and right beam be also scratch and the base of the beam be dent .

I 'll just cut to the chase and say that they hit the ball out of the park with this lead version , it be fantastic . the follow observation be with fresh battery in all of the unit : - brightness : the 2 aa lead version be significantly brighter than the 2 AA Krypton bulb version . in fact the 2 aa led be nearly as bright as my 3d cell Krypton bulb maglite ! - clarity : it be no secret that traditional bulb flashlight typically project uneven light pattern with super bright and super dark area in the beam . I find this incredibly annoying and will have to play with the focus of the beam to find something usable . the lead version have this problem solve . the clarity and spread of the light be fantastic . I can flick it on to ANY setting and it be 10x better than the traditional -lrb- Krypton bulb -rrb- maglite in term of clarity and beam focus . I can tell they work a lot on this and they do a great job . - color : this be minor compare to the above , but the lead version put out a cool white beam that be easy on the eye and it seem easier to pick up detail . the conventional bulb version put out a harsher more redish \/ pink beam and after compare the two back to back the lead version be much better . - battery life : do not know yet . I hear the battery should last longer and the circuitry keep the light output up even as the battery go down in charge . Time will tell . I now plan to upgrade all my d cell version with the led upgrade kit . I be very pleased with this purchase . I have make some nasty review in the past , so this this positive review be say something . : -rrb- +592 Flashlight POS 5 i have buy multiple Mini Maglites over the year . they all still work great , they be durable , light , small ; perfect for home , car , camping , travel , etc ; candle mode rock ! this little flashlight be plenty strong ; yes there be bright out there , but for a lot more $ ; dollar-for-dollar , this model be outstanding . +434 Flashlight POS 4 take 4 day to arrive ; not stellar , but more than acceptable with free shipping . it fit my Ryobi 18v flashlight . I put the 2nd bulb in a Ryobi 14.4 v flashlight - it work , but do not appear as bright . I 'll consider buy a 14.4 v bulb next chance I get . +216 Flashlight POS 5 very bright , rechargeable . if you use you light all of the time , you need this one ! +660 Flashlight POS 5 I have drop my Maglite onto hard floor , submerge it in water , and subject it to the abuse of a tornadic four year old . the all metal -lrb- not plastic ! -rrb- case be nearly indestructible . both end be thread and be fit with snug o-ring to protect the innards from rain , humidity , and submersion . the lens housing twist to adjust the focus of the beam and come off to allow it to be use as a candle -lrb- handy for night in a tent or during a power outage -rrb- . in addition , a extra bulb reside in the base ! +707 Flashlight POS 5 I have have this system since 1991 and my flashlight stop work , so I check and order this one and now both maglight that work flawlessly . the charger on my 1st one finally go south only take 14 year . if you want dependability and longevity do not think about it , just buy it ! +951 Flashlight POS 5 I buy this flashlight to go with my other Dewalt 18v nicad battery collection . I do not use my tool that much so nicad be perfectly fine for I . the flashlight do as I expect . it provide pretty good light and the battery provide a good base for it to stand on . the battery life on it seem to be fine and I have have no problem with the bulb burn out . that be pretty much all I can say about this flashlight . +605 Flashlight POS 5 have a 4c cell for about 10 year until I let a fellow guard use it and that be the last I have see of it just about a year ago . have a really nice rechargable flashlight at home but the end cap needle use to rechage it be broekn and this be the BEST flashlight replacement for it . recieve it in a timely manner 3 day of order and just in time for the weekend work shift . would highly recommend this flashlight as I do not know if I can order a new end cap for the rechargable , in which case it can still be use with regular battery but not as bright as with the battery it come with . these light can take a beating and still work . my lose old one be scracthe and betan but work when I need it to . buy this flashlight also for good self protection as a baton in most state be consider a deadly weapon and a maglight be not . but check you local law to make sure . do not quote I on the legality of the use of a maglight for protection make sure and look for yourself !! +542 Flashlight POS 5 as expect , he mag give plenty of light for everyday use and emergency situation . what I like most about it be the sturdy build and feel . all in all the Ferrari of consumer flashlight . +7 Flashlight POS 5 all the mag lite share solid aluminum construction and rubber o-ring seal . what set the minus mag off from the other mag lite be its size -lrb- easy to hold with tooth while work under car , sink , etc -rrb- and one little known feature - `` candle '' mode . you adjust the beam focus by rotate the minus mag 's head , but if you continue turn the head pop off ; you be leave with the handle and the expose bulb , which be now throw light in all direction - it be a `` candle '' . flip the head over , place it on the ground\/table - it be now a `` candle holder '' . Stick the candle into the candle holder . instant candle for camping . -lrb- these direction be actually on the minus mag 's packaging , but it be not until I have buy my third minus mag -lrb- one for car , kitchen , daypack -rrb- that I notice . this be actually a great trick to show other minus mag owner ... they also throw they packaging away without look it -rrb- two minus mag in the candle mode do a good job on a picnic table at night ... so get two of they ... they be cheap . +285 Flashlight POS 4 I be give my 2d maglite as a gift from my brother . the light have prove to be very reliable and have never fail I . maglite do produce very high quality and durable flashlight . they should put more development into brighter bulb . I have several surefire flashlight and they completely blow this light away , while be much smaller . I have a rechargable surefire duty light that be smaller and weigh 1\/3 as much as this light . at the same time my Surefire produce 10x the output of this light . I have put a mag lead module in it for more output . now I can justify the size of the light . it will put out about 30lumen for about 20hr now . the problem the light have in stock form be that the light would reach 50 % light output in 1 hour of runtime . the remain output decline throughout the 10hr of runtime and eventually be produce relatively weak light . it do not make much sense to haul 30oz . of weight for the light output that this light put out after 5hr of runtime . I would like to see mag do some research into some brighter bulb . I really like the heft and feel that this light provide . I give the 4d maglite a lower rating just because it be ridiculously large for the light output it provide . with the led module in this 2 cell light it match the output of its larger 3-4 cell brother yet be more efficient . I still prefer incand . light though so I would like mag to put brighter bulb in these . in stock form Maglites get blow away by they competition . +225 Flashlight POS 4 I purchase a couple of these set . I have a hard time find my flashlight when the electricity go out . so , I purchase these and now I have designate place for my maglite flashlight . Safety wise , it be a good thing too . I do not like that you have to put so much pressure on the flashlight in order for it to lock in place . be careful with you finger . I get the feeling these bracket may break if you put to much pressure on they . +470 Flashlight POS 5 excellent choice . have a friend with one just like it and use he prior to purchase . I already have a saws-all and drill by dewalt with the same 18 v battery pack . very pleased . +763 Flashlight POS 5 I own about 4 or 5 of these little light and they be great . they easily fit into glove compartment , tool box , even you pocket and be always handy . my 2.5 year old son be fascinate with my flashlight and so I buy he a `` cheap '' immitation , which quickly break . I replace it with another and it , too , break . I find they to be unrepairable . I then decide to get he he own mag light . not only do he love it -- it be the first thing he ask for in the morning these day , but it be repairable . he have drop it and try to take it apart many time . usually the drop either break the bulb or dent the top contact on the battery -lrb- which need immediate replacement . -rrb- one time it just be not work after replace the bulb and battery . I almost give up when I decide to take apart the plastic ring that hold the bulb -lrb- it actually say `` do not remove '' -rrb- I be surprise to find how easily it come out to expose the contact . the contact that touch the housing that turn the light on and off be slightly corroded\/gunked up . I clean it lightly with steel wool and snap it back together and it work ! all in all , a handy , rugged , and repairable little light ! buy several . +137 Flashlight POS 5 this be the highest quality flashlight on earth . not just this model but the entire product line . I think Mag Instruments have perfect the flashlight . you could spend you whole life buying and toss cheapo flashlight 's or buy a Maglite once it be that simple . Dont blow you money on plastic junk Stick with mag they really be the Mercedes Benz of flashlight . +670 Flashlight POS 5 I know that led be now all the rage . but the light emit just be not the same . mag light may not be at the peak of technology , but they work great , be heavy duty and reliable . would it surprise you to know that I do not own a smart phone ? -lrb- I do not even know what one be !! -rrb- this mag light be the perfect size for the glove box or anywhere that a smaller size be desire . my fantasy be to own a 5 d cell model . Whoooooo !! +299 Flashlight NEG 1 if you think you be get the spring STEEL clip with rubber coating , THINK again . THESE THINGS be shiny black brittle look plastic ! +925 Flashlight POS 5 build solid and be super-bright . I test it at night and it light up the whole downstairs from we landing as if it be daytime . the back of the light set comfortably on you shoulder while hold it with one hand at shoulder height face forward - it be big . only downside be that it do not come with the battery , so count on another 6 + dollar . +467 Flashlight POS 5 I have a set of these mount below the dash on my pickup face the floor . it be tuck away just right so any occupant can see it clearly and get to it , but it be out of sight of stranger , out of the way and not float around the interior of the car . well worth the money . I be go to buy two more for other vehicle . +922 Flashlight NEU 3 I be surprised to see so many 5 star review for this light . a flashight main purpose be to output light . this flashlight do not do that . I own 5 of these that I get over the year but have be one over by the LED light that throw out ton more light and last much longer on battery . while this be very well buily and a nice look light what it lack in candlepower make this just a ok light . if you be compare it to the cheap plastic flashlight then yes , its a 5 star light but what kind of comparison be that ? I know the led light cost more but they be come way down in price and worth the extra money if you want a bright light . I can shine all 5 of mine on new battery onto the wall and they be stil not as bright as my other led light , even the cheap one . I be not talk about the weak run of the mill lead 's but the luxeon or cree model . one of those be brighter than all 5 of my maglight put together . +153 Flashlight POS 5 it work very nice just as describe i have the 3d cell mag light lead and it fit perfect +479 Flashlight POS 5 I have have Maglite 's for many year . this be a gift for my kid and I be amaze at how bright these light shine . it be compact and the candle light feature be a nice touch which be actually extremely practical for outside dining on camping trip . +56 Flashlight POS 5 as a 10 year aircraft maintainer in the US Air Force , I have use everything from standard mag-lite , scuba diver ' light , and even penlight in a pinch . I can say this flashlight be brighter than any other I have use . it cut my inspection time in half because I can see thing 55 foot off the ground just like it be right in front of I . do not be fool to think a rechargeable battery pack be not as strong as standard alkaline battery . this be not the case . I would not trade this flashlight for anything ! +59 Flashlight POS 5 I purchase the DeWalt 12-volt nicad pivot head flashlight -lrb- w\/o battery -rrb- . it arrive promptly and be very well pack . it be first quality and exactly as describe . I plug a charge battery in and it work as it should . I use it every day in my work and it be durable and take a lot of punishment , drop , bounce around in the back of a p\/u truck , scoot & drag along the ground , toss from person to person etc. . excellent product . +284 Flashlight NEU 3 this flashlight be ok in most situation , but only put out 2 lumen of light . I suggest get a flashlight that have more lumen . +889 Flashlight POS 5 I love all maglite that I own . the 6d light be incredibly powerful . Perfect for a airport beacon . : - -rrb- seriously , the adjustable focus allow for wide flood to tight spot with a range that allow you to see considerable distance with clarity at night . would be perfect for neighborhood watch . the one and only complaint I have with maglite be the quality of the manufacturing of the bulb . they last very long but the accuracy in which they be shaped and attach to the bulb 's base during manufacturing be often poor . this result in uneven light distribution in the beam . the bulb in this particular 6d light -lrb- one of several that I have own and currently own -rrb- be tilted in its base by a very visible amount . when the light be focus to spot , this seriously affect the ability of the MAGLITE to cast as much light at a distance because much of light be reflect by the MAGLITE 's reflector off to angle that prevent it from contribute to the center of the beam . this affect its power and range of illumination . however , I happen to have spare bulb and select one that be manufacture more precisely , install it in the MAGLITE , and the beam be perfect . so if you get one that shoot much of its light off to one side of the beam center , look for another bulb -lrb- there be a spare in the base of the flashlight -rrb- and swap out the bulb . in addition to bulb that be tilted in they base -lrb- not the socket of the MAGLITE that receive the bulb , but the base of the bulb iteself -rrb- , the size and shape of the nipple where the glass be form can also cause issue with light distribution , though not as severe as bulb that be attach to they basis incorrectly . this can often contribute to uneven light distribution in the beam . I have many maglite of all size , except c-cell , and this problem occur relatively often in the d-cell light , but not in all instance . I learn to keep some extra bulb on hand not only for when one burn out -lrb- again , they last long -rrb- but also to replace a poorly-manufactured one in a new MAGLITE . I think that MAGLITE should work on the quality control of its bulb -lrb- which may be manufacture by someone for MAGLITE -rrb- . regardless , the bulb issue , if you have one , be easily correct be replacement of the bulb . I would still recommend maglite to anyone . they be tough , long lasting and powerful . just do not let battery sit too long in the light without change they with fresh one . if they leak , they fuse to the inside of the light and you will not get they out . +736 Flashlight POS 5 I currently own two of these little lifesaver ; one in the car and one at home , and for the size and money I honestly do not think you can find something better . First let 's talk about the size : at only 5 and 3\/4 inch it be perfect for a car glove compartment , center console , or even in the visor if you car have a pouch for sunglass or other article . for at home it be equally convenient : store it in a kitchen drawer , night stand or any other place you can keep something the size of a large tip marker . feature wise the Mini mag have a spare lamp in the tail cap , can change from spot to flood light with a twist , and can operate in candle mode . . mean you simply keep turn the light cover until it come off , and then place it on the other end so it act like a base . this be a great idea , and allow you to keep you hand free if the situation arise . one other thing I want to point out be to correct the person who state you must use two hand to use this light . I have the flash light before I as I be write this , and I can state for a fact that it can easily be turn on or off with one hand . if you have enough strength to adjust the volume on a stereo , you can turn the Mini mag through it be full range of flood to spot and then off . Quality of the Mini mag be also top notch . one reviewer state he break from a two foot fall on carpet . sorry , but I either do not believe that or simply you Mini mag be defective . I have drop the one I keep in my car at least 5 time . . on concrete ! and it still work as well as the first day i buy it . I know friend who have ding and dent on they Mini mag , yet this little light continue to shine . can you find a better flashlight in this size ? I be sure you could . but for 10.00 ? nope . in my opinion nothing else even come close . +697 Flashlight NEG 2 this flashlight have very average brightness . the beam that it produce be very uneven . battery life be average . basically , it be the Chevy Caviler of flashlight . if you be interested in top performance , check out flashlight from Fenix , Streamlight or Surefire . they will cost more , but there be a night and day difference . a similarly size flashlight that produce 10x the brightness with a very smooth and even light be the surefire g2 . +904 Flashlight POS 5 I have purchase this maglite originally for my sister . she buy a house in the bay area , and so I think a great housewarming gift would be a 6d maglite . she live by herself , have no pet , and I figure she could use a excellent flashlight . I be not say she can not defend for herself , I be just say that everyone , no matter if you be live in a apartment or house , should have at least one 6d maglite . however , she see the size of this thing , and reject my gift . she tell I she would throw it away , so I say I would take it . I give she my 2d maglite in place of the 6d and now I have one of these bat and my sister have a smaller version . do I mention the size of this flashlight ? I just go camping to Yosemite for a week , and let I tell you , this flashlight be great . you can take off the head of the flashlight , and it become a lantern . it light up any tent or campground . my buddy be impress with how durable and reliable the Maglite . overall , I would recommend this product to anybody . even police officer tell people to get this flashlight . so when you have law enforcement officer refer individual to this product , then you know it have to be a effective item . +549 Flashlight POS 5 i need to buy anotherone cause mine be stollen ... so i know i could not go out without one of this ... be very usefull and by the way be very practical to have one in the purse , in you car , in you kitchen cabinet ... any place , cause you never know ... !!! +814 Flashlight POS 5 these little flashlight rock . I must be the last person in the US to discover Mag Instrument flashlight , but I be a solid convert now . when you be camp , especially backpacking , a little light like this be very handy . the battery do not last long , but they do not weigh much either -- a key factor for backpacker . and they be very rugged . I live in a wooded suburb at the end of a country road -lrb- at least it use to be a country road -rrb- with frequent power problem . we must own 10 flashlight already , but be replace they with more reliable unit -- like these little mag light . we buy the accessory kit with the lanyard -lrb- and other stuff that we find less useful -rrb- . for camping , we also buy a non-mag belt holster that can hold both the light and a knife or Leatherman . highly recommend . +835 Flashlight POS 5 I need a small compact flashlight for work and after check several review , I decide to get this one . I love the adjustable light feature simply by turn the lens -lrb- knob -rrb- at the top of the flashlight . it adjust from a wide view to a nice sharp concentrated beam . it also have a `` candle '' feature . the lens unscrew from the base . you set the lens on a flat surface and then set the base `` inside '' the lens so the bulb be expose give you the `` candle '' effect . I have only use it a few time so far so I be not sure how fast it will eat up battery , but for the light itself - I would buy again . +513 Flashlight NEG 1 3 week ago , I contact Maglite for a replacement switch for my 4-d flashlight , in which the switch fail . the customer service rep ask I for my serial number , which I give she and she assure I that I could get a replacement switch . I give she my name and address and she say that a shipment have just go out , and it would be in the next shipment . that be fine with I . day turn into week . still no part . more day go by . still no part in the mail . hmmmm . be this how long time customer be treat ? I previous own a variety of they flashlight , from a AAA Solitaire to a 5-d flashlight , at least 5 in total . my dad have purchase in the neighborhood of 15 or more himself , start in about '86 when someone else turn he onto Maglites . customer support be as important to I as the product itself . have customer support become a casualty of a tough economy ? this long-time customer will have to look at alternative the next time he be buy a flashlight . +401 Flashlight NEG 1 although I have buy and use many mag over the year , the flaw with they and any incandescent light be the bulb filament break at the most inconvenient time . I would recommend a lead flashlight since there be nothing to break , cause immediate darkness . mag have just not keep up with the time . the led be go to replace the bulb in all flashlight shortly . +436 Flashlight NEG 2 I be very excite to get this light ... initially , I like it . out of the packaging , I hook it up to the 18v battery and it work , emit a fairly bright beam . the sale ad say that it come with a `` extra '' bulb , which be not include . I email Amazon regard the issue and they send a 2nd light to my address , instead of send a bulb or two -lrb- ? -rrb- . it be worth mention the the re-ship do not have the extra bulb either . I have pretty much decide to just purchase the other light as well , think I could use one and leave one in the work truck as a spare . then , I be use one of the light , hit it pretty hard with a board I be use in a attic , and it fizzle . I go and get the other light , use it the rest of the morning , then go to use it in the afternoon and it be burn out too - with little to no abuse -lrb- that I can remember -rrb- . I send both of the light back - they be not as durable as they should be . instead , I order two of the flexible-head light -lrb- Dewalt 18V -rrb- . a few of my friend have these and have have no issue . I will leave a review for those as well when I have have time to put they to the test . all in all , this be a bright light , but if you put you equipment to the test day-in and day-out , it might not be the quality you be look for . +330 Flashlight POS 5 perfect in great condition it have be the second time I have buy this item from this seller ! quick response and brand new +113 Flashlight POS 5 great product . I love minus mag . they be durable and have great battery life . Super dependable . best minus flashlight on the market . this be my 3rd one ; not because the other break , but because I like to have more than one . one to take hiking , one for the car , and one to leave in the house . Great buy ! +313 Flashlight POS 4 there be lot of better light out there . but for less then $ 20 , you can not beat the price for this flashlight . especially if you just need something to have around the house . the only real problem I have with this light be that the switch tend to come off fairly easy . it be not too hard to put it back on , and if you lose it , it be fairly cheap to replace -lrb- less then $ 2 -rrb- . but still annoying . +140 Flashlight POS 5 I CA not SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THIS FLASHLIGHT ! I put a three WATT WHITE lead from MAG-LITE in MINE . there 's one in EACH car and TRUCK . and spare c cell . THIS COMBO will send a brilliant white beam for a hundred yard that really light up the scene ! and it do it for a long time . 100 % RELIABLE . 100 % cool . +419 Flashlight NEG 1 why cheat you customer with such a high price , -lrb- nearly double -rrb- ? and then try to suggest that be be actually one-half off ? would it not make more sense to price they in accordance with the normal marketplace and point out the virtue of the camo to hunter , camper , etc ? count I out . +248 Flashlight POS 5 you wont be sorry if you buy a mag light . we just buy the 3 cell mag light for my father in law birthday . my husband already have one they be very nice . and last forever . I think its the best flashlight we have ever own ... +920 Flashlight POS 5 this be for bedroom as a emergency light . it be rechargeable and easy to mount ... probably double as a good head smacker too if ever need ... g-d forbid . +102 Flashlight POS 5 this be a great item to pack for travel , its very lightweight and I end up use it more than I would have anticipate during a recent 3-week trip to Africa . a previous reviewer mention the `` candle '' functionality which come in handy . you can not go wrong with this , especially at this price . +778 Flashlight POS 5 my work go through a blackout recently and this definitly would have handy at the time . this be one of the brightest flashlight I have see . the price be also lower than I have see anywhere else . +886 Flashlight NEU 3 the dw904 can be a excellent accessory to have , but I much prefer the Dewalt flexible model to the pivot type flashlight because they really handle daily on the job abuse better and also have the add advantage of a long rubber cover flexible neck to wrap around object for better positioning . my preference be base on heavy use of both type of the 12v , 14.4 v and 18v model . most of the flexible model I currently own be several year old and have have many time more use than the pivot model ever will , for a good reason . although they have be pretty well beat up , all be still work fine and I could never say enough good thing about they . the on-off switch on all model be fairly well protected but can occasionally get stick in one position because of heavy dirt or mud buildup . the switch can be free up easily with the aid of a stiff part clean brush once the mud have dry . if you do a lot of work in crawl space or other area where dirt , mud , sand and grit can get ground into the pivot joint of the dw904 flashlight , it can eventually cause excessive wear at the joint and damage to the spring loaded electrical contact located there , cause the light to malfunction without warn at a most inopportune time . one day , I have just such a experience use the 12v dw904 while replace the motor on a circulator pump located about sixty foot back inside a crawl space under a hotel . the crawl space have absolutely no area lighting of its own and none of the natural light that you sometimes get through vent , so the dw904 be literally the only source of light to be have . about halfway into the job , I be in the process of adjust the flashlight head to better light the work area , when everything suddenly go pitch black . at first , I think , ... okay ... , maybe the bulb have just burn out . I would have to change the bulb in the dark once before so I new it could be do . feel my way around the flashlight , I carefully unscrew the lens and replace the bulb with a spare bulb store inside the flashlight head . the bulb be not the problem . I remember think , ... `` Heeere Lassie ! '' ... because there be no way I be go to be able to navigate my way around obstacle and get out of the crawl space without see where I be go . fortunately , I have a two-way radio with I and be able to get hold of someone up above to grab another flashlight and come down to where I be work . I do not think this situation be bring about by any flaw or defect in the dw904 so much as that it be just not design for any type of use that expose it be pivot joint to continuous abrasion from sand and dirt . the older Makita 9.6 v pivot type flashlight I use year ago where also susceptible to the same problem , although none of they ever go completely and totally dead on I like the Dewalt do . you could usually bang the Makita against a floor joist a few time and it would come back to life , at least temporarily . overall , if you plan to use you flashlight only in clean , dry location , the dw904 should be a good choice . on the other hand , if you plan to consistently use you flashlight in damp , dirty environment and other high abuse area , as most tradesman normally will , then one of Dewalt 's flexible flashlight model be definitely a better and much more appropriate choice . +979 Flashlight POS 5 the name Maglite have always be know as the industry standard . do not waste you time on cheap flashlight , spend the money on this min lead flashlight and you will always have a dependable flashlight on you . woman can use in they purse or bag , especiall at night to see car lock or house lock or problem at night . this flashlight be not only for man , keep it in you office drawer in case of power failure or at home or in you car . +945 Flashlight POS 5 you can never find a bulb for the sear craftsman flash light . it blow they out if you bump the flashlight . waste time !!! spend a little $ get the DEWALT I have 3 -lrb- SEARS be way to much $ -rrb- Amazon have best price for bulb too ! 18 volt . +115 Flashlight NEU 3 i have a ryobus flashlight that need a new bulb & the replacement bulb be the dewalt one -lrb- that be what home depot tell I -rrb- . but i be turn away when i see the bulb be $ 8\/pair ... i think what a rip off ... so i go online & i see makita have a 18v bulb -lrb- p\/n a90261 -rrb- that be similar to the dewalt . and the best part be it be $ 3.50 \/ pair & i find at a website w \/ a $ 0.01 shipping ... could not beat that . i get the bulb last night & it fit in my ryobus flashlight w \/ out a problem . whaooo whoooo !!! +968 Flashlight POS 5 to start , I be a tradesman who have to carry he lifeline on he belt . not only on the job , but I be also the unnofficial handyman of this apartment complex . every time I even move to take my workbelt off , it seem to be a signal for a neighbor to bang on the wall say something be on fire or will not open all the way . and the Mini mag be the universal flashlight . it be sell everywhere , include this fine site and even family store , and despite its legendary quality and design , be at the most ten dollar with include holster . I prefer the classic aa design , where CA not you find aa ? I have use one of these on my belt for about four year . it be a excellent tool , and I have never have one wear out on I . the bulb , however , be the Achilles heel . the rest of the flashlight be military , police and trade quality , for civilian price . but these dang bulb go orange after a couple week and last a couple month of casual use . I be consider shell out forty buck for a small led , just to save the money on bulb . then , walk through a sport outlet , I pass the flashlight section . and next to the usual Mini mag with holster , which I own close to six of , be a Nite ize accessory design for this same flashlight . a lead bulb . now , I have see these online for about twenty to thirty buck , and this be a ten dollar flashlight ! but this one just sit around on a shelf be eight buck , about a buck less than the flashlight 's shelf price . what the heck , I get one . to quote another review , my trusty old mag be now a state-of-the-art torch , with nearly triple battery life of the old bulb . and led , as all mag-hater know , do not burn out or even go out when bump . so , for a total of twenty buck , you get a american-quality led beam that compete and plain out whip fifty-dollar import with plastic casing . I would not recomend this flashlight if there be not there be a way to fix its biggest flaw . just get you hand on this led adapter , and put it in like you would the standard bulb . replace the mirror reflector , and stomp the old bulb into powder . you will not be need they , ever again . there be also a combo pack availiable , for the same price , that include a push-button adapter if you have ever wish you could tap a red button on the end instead of twist it on and off . I have not try it , but it come with the LED , and for eight buck ? and hey , the flashlight itself come in six different color . these thing be easily replace if one get bang up or you room-mate\/girlfriend draw all over it with sharpie while she be on the phone . I have have these work perfectly even they have be through Hades and back , but some prefer a more formal-looking flashlight . just take the lead out and put it in the new one , those bulb last forever . and now , so will this flashlight . +229 Flashlight POS 5 what more can I say - it ' a a MagLite & it work in Sub-Zero Deg f - -rrb- `` no surprise '' . a few suggestion for the unknow on the use of the mode : full power : for distance work - full saturation 25 % power : use during reading ; close work not blind by surface reflection ; extend usage Strobe : Beacon for warn or attention when use color lens -lrb- optional -rrb- ; search & rescue locator SOS : Beacon for search & rescue locator finally , later model tail cap permit a lanyard to be attach . why MagLite put out the earlier led model with the `` FLAT Tail Cap '' be beyond I . +777 Flashlight POS 4 all in all , give the price , it be worth it . use it just as a pen light it have sufficient power and battery life for it be design purpose . +151 Flashlight POS 5 I have have one of these for a while . it be very reliable , durable & convinient because of it be size . the worst that have ever happen to my maglite be for the bulb to break when I be busy mess around with it . +286 Flashlight POS 5 securely hold mag light . I give these with new lead mag light as a gift to my Dad , he love the whole setup . as he have get older he would never be able to find a flashlight , now they be always in the same place . a little tight to remove and replace but loosen up with some use . +712 Flashlight NEU 3 the main flaw with this light would have be trivial in the recent past . compare to other way of provide light , even DeWalt way , this be not a effective solution . I buy this to have a work light that also use the 18v power pack from my various DeWalt 18v tool . so far so good . but it really burn some power , it get quite warm and the light do not last as long and be not as bright as you would hope . I also have the DeWalt dc527 fluorescent light , it provide a much better work light , last longer and be easier to use to get light on you work . by comparison to the dc527 this be a uneven and yellowish light . this be more compact than the dc527 though , and it provide better range , fluorescent provide more white light , but only at limited range . +371 Flashlight NEU 3 it be good flashlight , but not be the better lead . you can find flashlight with Cree xm-l t6 with more power . +226 Flashlight POS 5 this flashlight be a wonder of modern technology . I love it , Maglite rock . item be ship quick and there be no issue with the item . thank you . +10 Flashlight POS 5 I have purchase 5 unit . they be a excelent value and make excellent life time gift . I have 5 thankful friend that I think enough of they to purchase these for they . +200 Flashlight POS 4 the amount of illumination this small light provide compare favorably with that from a double-d-cell flashlight use a krypton bulb , which be probably what most folk expect from a general-purpose light . that say , compare one to another be tricky because of difference in the beam . a standard flashlight project a strong center spot surround by a broad halo of rather dim and often uneven light . however , with its much smaller reflector and led , the Mini-Maglite produce a strong center spot with a halo that be both much narrower and considerably brighter than its counterpart . therefore , one of the way I compare the two light source be to aim each at the white ceiling of a darkened room while observe the amount of reflect illumination of the furnishings . unlike the yellowish light emit by incandescent bulb , the LED in the Mini-Maglite provide a brilliant , white light that seem to be quite close to daylight in color temperature . it do not suffer from the distinct bluish tint common to many high-brightness led . the light output from this led light be much greater than that of the incandescent version of the Mini-Mag , which I also have . I measure initial current drain from a set of fresh aa battery at around 500ma , compare to somewhat over 300mA in the regular Mini-Mag . the company claim the light use a 3-watt led -lrb- as rate by supplier -rrb- , but it would appear that even with a new set of alkaline battery the actual energy use will not exceed half that rating . Furthur , my measurement indicate the power will likely decline by half again once the battery have start to become weak . of course , one can not expect miracle from two small battery and the reduction be likely a balance between high output and power usage . I would expect several hour of strong light , with slowly diminish output until the battery be exhaust . like the regular version , this mini-maglite be operate by unscrew the head slightly to activate a internal switch . furthur rotation will focus the beam somewhat as the reflector move outward . there be not a great deal of difference in the lead version , and very much twist simply reduce the overall light output . the head may actually be remove and use as a base to support the light in candle mode . this be make possible by the elimination of a lanyard like be attach to the tail cap of the standard Mini-Mag . as owner of several multi-led flashlight , I have learn that one big advantage to have a single led be the narrow , project beam it provide . that feature come in handy when you be walk at night and want to see some distance ahead . the light in the sp2201h package come with a holster for carry the flashlight lens-up on a belt or perhaps hang it from a nail . two Duracell battery be also include . I have read that other folk have encounter problem with the switch be intermittant , and I must admit that the flashlight do not work well with another brand of battery I install during testing . mostly make in the USA , the flashlight carry a limited lifetime warranty that exclude burnout of the led module . improper installation of the battery may destroy this item , so be very careful . if have a slender light that weigh less than a third of the typical flashlight , yet illuminate just as well appeal to you , then I think you 'll be please with the Mini-Maglite LED . +869 Flashlight NEG 1 I buy one of these several year ago and it break within a couple of month . a couple of month ago I decide to try again , within 3 week it be break , never again . +891 Flashlight NEG 2 I be want a good small flash light I can use when work on my car , have previous buy a maglite 3-d flash light , I want to buy another Maglite . but this mini flash light be not bright at all , and the beam be very small . the cheap chinese flash light I buy be brighter then this one . overall I be very unsatisfied with this product . +767 Flashlight POS 5 I have own a lot of these little maglite over the year , and I keep come back to they . they be great flashlight and be very dependable ! the holster be handy if you want to carry it on a belt . for the price , I definitely recommend this flashlight ! +380 Flashlight POS 5 this be a great flashlight . Maglite make a very tough light and hold up well to anything you can throw at it . this be the second one I have have . the only reason I get a new one be the battery leak in the old unit and I could not get they out . I would highly recommend this to anyone . +491 Flashlight POS 5 I buy this for my security job and it make carry my 3d maglite easier especially while carry 3 set of key . +585 Flashlight POS 5 these bracket hold my flashlight in place in my jeep next to the driver seat . even on rough trail the light have never come loose . in addition to my Maglite , they hold my large survival knife and seat belt cutter -lrb- the loop for a belt go over the clamp before the flashlight go in -rrb- and I have have no issue for over a year . I buy a second set to mount another 3d maglite in my camper . I have the flashlight mount upright so if I need light in the middle of the night , but do not want to use the 12 volt , I just push the button and light the whole trailer , flashlight in place . the price have about double by the time I buy the second set , but at less than $ 5.00 they be a bargain . +849 Flashlight POS 5 quede impresionado con el tama & ntilde ; o de la linterna !! es de muy buena calidad y resistente !! gracia Amazon !! lo recomiendo ampliamente !!! +132 Flashlight POS 4 now these bracket be worth the cost . I use they to mount my 4d size maglight on my crash bar of my Harley . have not have any issue and I ride all over the place . just zip tie they on and clip in flashlight . +949 Flashlight POS 5 I use these bracket in the exist threaded hole of my BMW e90 trunk lid . the hole be for a reflective emergency triangle that do not come with my car . the spacing -lrb- use only one of the 2 hole in each bracket -rrb- be perfect for a 3 d-cell maglite . I even use the screw that come with the kit -lrb- although I 'll probably swap they for the proper thread bolt in BLACK to clean it up a bit . these bracket have just the right amount of grip and even a hard slam of the trunk lid do not dislodge the fairly heavy flashlight . the impression in the trunk lid will probably accomodate a 4 or 5 d-cell light if such a beast exist . +2 Flashlight NEG 1 I buy this flashlight after see all the advertising for Maglite . what a disappointment ! it be small and put out maybe 20 lumen of light , if that . the lumen be so low that Maglite never even list the lumen on any of its product , unlike its competitor . this thing might make a decent booklight but that be not what I buy it for . for the same price at this over-hyped , underperformer I could get a flashlight 5x as powerful ! +416 Flashlight POS 5 when this product arrive at my doorstep it be exactly what i expect . I would definitely recomend it . it be a very long and heavy flash light . if that be what you be look for , this be perfect . +739 Flashlight NEG 1 I purchase this light a week ago from Home Depot for almost $ 25 and it no longer work . do everything Maglite recommend and still no luck . Problem be either the tail cap or the barrel\/switch . light flash intermittently when tighten the tail cap after battery replacement , but once the tail cap be tight , the light no longer work . what a disappointing product from Maglite . I just go to Sports Authority and find a Nite Ize lead upgrade for my old Mini Maglight and that have be work flawlessly . it do not have the same intensity or the beam focus as the mag lead , but at least it work . P.S. I forget to mention the extremely poor battery life . lead light be by theory suppose to last longer than krypton bulb . not so with this light . I be lucky to get 4 hour out of mine . this may have be cause by the problem mention above , but my Nite Ize upgrade have last almost 8 hour now , and no sign of wear down . +537 Flashlight POS 5 this be simply the best flash light I have ever use . really like the light focus feature and solid feel . +645 Flashlight POS 5 once you use this light you will never go back . I have be use the Mag Charger Lite for a little over 1 year and I have never see a brighter lite . it be performance have be wonderful charge after charge . +908 Flashlight POS 5 as a police officer with over twenty year on the job , I can honestly say this mag be the best flashlight in the business ! I have use nothing else for the last twelve year . it be candle power turn the darkest area into daylight . the light 's design make it possible to keep the light hold under the arm easily when both hand be busy , supply a continuous stream of light . this be the perfect flashlight for camping -- it take drop and bang effortlessly and live to shine another day ! I be order a second one to keep in my car . it be easily keep charge with the lighter adaptor . +235 Flashlight POS 5 this be a great product consider the price . sure you 'll always find better Luxeon lead flashlight , but none that can turn into a candle . the flashlight be great for blackout , for any night activity , and it beat the led upgrade kit for the regular Mini mag . it emit a bright , far-traveling light that will not disappoint you . it also have the cool feature that even though we be deal with lead light , MagLite manage to retain the focusability feature of the flashlight , and the ability to change from spotlight to floodlight . the performance be way better than the regular minus mag . you do not get those annoying rings\/dark dull patch of distorted light . this flashlight produce a focus , uniform circle of light . Pretty neat for the price . use it for everyday task , and make sure you keep one in the car . although it be a great tool , I would not recommend it for tactical use . other than that it be great -lrb- although it be true that it lack a orifice on which to attach a lanyard -rrb- . either way , you should not be disappoint with this new addition to the MagLite family . +452 Flashlight POS 4 if you be only allow to have one flashlight in you home , make it a maglite . it may not be the brightest flashlight in the market ; but it 'll do just fine within a 150 foot . Wish I could get a 6 c cell maglite . +771 Flashlight POS 5 mag Lite hold a industry standard that speak for itself . Amazon just get they to the consumer at a cheap price ! +344 Flashlight POS 4 I hav not try many other d-ring but this one work just fine . hold well and do exactly what i expect and need it to do +422 Flashlight POS 5 I need a small flashlight for work and have go through many , many aa size flashlight . I just notice these 2aa lead maglite in the store and decide to try one out . I be not sure how bright it would be because besides the 3 watt label , mag do not really state the brightness of the light . when I get home I be pleasantly surprise . this light be at least 5 time brighter than a regular 2aa maglite and it be also brighter than any other -lrb- include lead -rrb- flashlight I have use . and what matter more , compare to the regular bulb maglite , the beam on the LED light focus perfectly to a even circle . no more dark area . the one thing I miss be the little hole in the endcap which can be use for lanyard or keyring . also the lead version be a tad bit longer than the bulb version , but for the huge performance gain , I 'll gladly have a slightly larger flashlight . I can not comment on the battery usage yet , as I have not have to change battery yet , a good sign ... and I be so glad that I do not have to worry about the little bulb burn out every so often anymore . I can highly recommend this light , it be well worth the money if you need a good flashlight . I do wish that the other color be available as show on mag 's website . Amazon or any other local store just seem to have the black version . +415 Flashlight POS 5 on the technical detail be mention charger 110 volt , also on the Maglite web-site be mention two type of charger one for 110 volt and one for european 230 volt . the actual charger mention however 100-240 ac 50\/60 hz . which mean the charger be universal and can be use all over the world . the only difference between the 110 volt model and the 230 volt model be the plug type on the charger . the 110 volt come with the american flat pin and the 230 volt with the european round pin . so if you be go to another country , like on vacation , the only thing you need be a plug adapter to fit the charger into the wall outlet . the charger adjust itself to the voltage on the wall outlet . +363 Flashlight POS 5 this be the perfect size light to carry with you in you pocket , for whatever you need to do . in my case , I use it to examine patient in my work as a doctor . the beam be strong and it have not fail I yet . highly recommend - with mag , you can not go wrong . +810 Flashlight POS 4 we like the mag-lite led flashlight a lot ; that be why we purchase two more so we could have they in the car in case of a emergency . only disappointing thing thus far be that the battery life be not as long as I have be lead to believe ; maybe Rayovac battery be really poor ; I 'll try another brand and see if there be a difference . +144 Flashlight POS 5 excellant product ! durable , perform as advertise , look great , include all warranty and instructional paperwork . Great buy ! Ron m +207 Flashlight POS 4 nothing beat a maglite . solid construction that will last forever ! can you get a brigther smaller flash light ? sure , but can you do it for under -lrb- ... -rrb- buck or even under -lrb- ... -rrb- ? the add length and weight also make this a great defensive weapon if need . +365 Flashlight POS 5 hus i be impress with the service they give . Kept I update the whole way would buy off they again +255 Flashlight POS 5 anyone who live as far out in the rural countryside as I do get accustom to power interruption , whether they be due to down power line from ice storm , someone hit a key telephone pole and knock out a transformer , or be the result of one of the occassional electrical storm we have during the warmer month of the year . in any and all of these circumstance I can always depend on my collection of mag-light to see I through the darkness of the house in order to light my well-used candle and oil lamp until the power be finally restore . I also have one in each of my two truck , and when I recently narrowly miss hit a startled deer late at night and go off the road into a muddy field , the trusty mag light be invaluable in help I find a winching point to pull myself out of the muddy gully . so , whether it be a venture down into the blacken hole my basement become late at night , or find my way to the bathroom in the middle of the night , I can always depend on my mag light to candle-power my way wherever I be go . I have three or four of the larger one like the one display here , but actually have more than five or six of the smaller one as well . I love mine , and although I seem to misplace at least one or two a year , I always have a ample supply of both mag-light and replacement battery because I find they be absolutely essential out here in the wood . get one today . +149 Flashlight POS 5 i have a mag lite and love the quality . . the firm click of the off\/on button be satisfy and a sign of suberb craftsmanship ! i do wish that maglite would make a head lamp model and\/or a tripod option to assist in hand free situation ! other wise the cost be minimal if one consider that these flash light will survive we life time ... i would bet that the designer at maglite will soon offer we a hand free model , but til then i will light my way with maglite ! thank you for reading and consider my opinion ! +578 Flashlight POS 5 I buy this flashlight , base on my experience with mag-lite , to use as a dependable emergency flashlight for my car . it fit the bill as a sturdy well build product . I also have one -lrb- 2d-cell -rrb- in my other car too . this 3c-cell unit be actually only 1-inch longer than the equivalent 2d-cell mag-lite and be lighter too . it be 11 '' long , so check you glove compartment dimension if you intend to store it there . +820 Flashlight POS 5 I have have mag light over the year and far as I can tell I will continue to buy they .

I have have my 2aa lead light now for just over 3 month now . it have be in crawl space , some of they dry . countless non light basement . I really like the fact you can reduce the power , use it as a strobe , SOS , or a regular flashlight . Great think on mag 's part . all in all , they be worth the money . if anyone be look for a great gift idea for just about any guy , this be it . ok I know there be a lot of gal out there that would think they be cool too . talk about a great stock stuffer . +173 Flashlight POS 5 I have several d-cell mag light and one aa-cell mag light , but the former be too large and the latter too small to grab and run check on this or that when the need arise . the c-cell light be just the right size .

I try 3 different sd card and have Magellan customer Service walk I through the process several time . finally on the third call to customer support , while they put I on hold I research this problem on the internet and find it to be a common one . customer support could only advise I to send it back to be service ; they never admit this can be a issue . to make the call to customer service even more challenging , each time I call the person on the other end of the phone , have difficulty understand I , and I to , have difficulty understand they . we currently live in a very high traffic area , and never leave home without it , but we be plan to return it after we new Garmin arrive . +718 GPS NEU 3 this be revolutionary 3-4 year ago , but with new handheld device like the iPhone , etc show how a handheld interface should work , this begin to feel ancient . + Great reception + rugged -lrb- get a screen protector -rrb- + reliable - hard to remove memory card , which make the next negative even worse . - for the US Topo Mapsource CD set , you can only can transfer 2026 of the 7000 US map segment per memory card . this mean you can not simply load the entire US -lrb- 7000 segment -rrb- on a memory card . you need 3 512mb memory card . - the Mapsource datum be OLD . the 2003 Mapsource Topo CD set be miss street that be 20 year old in southern St Louis . the new 2008 Mapsource dvd be miss street that be 15 year old . Google\/Yahoo\/MapQuest find these street easily . do not surprise if the forest you be hike thru lead to a undocumented megamall . - Poor UI for drive direction , etc. . this be a hike boat device , DO NOT buy for exclusive use with you car . - searching for pous be very difficult . - map management be terrible . if you have multiple map , good luck figure out how to change the map in use . a example , if you install City Navigator , you topo will disappear bc the City Navigator cover the topo map . you have to turn off City Navigator , but it be bury deep in the menu system . - worst design bike attachment mechanism ever . it be too small for almost all handlebars . : -lrb- overall , I love it for hike , find it occasionally useful for biking -lrb- preven I from get lose -rrb- , and dislike it for car use , city exploration . Google Maps on a iPhone or Windows Mobile be much better . +9 GPS POS 5 I have have this gp for almost two year and use it every day . it work exactly as it be suppose to work . I use the weighted dash holder - not the windshield mount . I also add a sd card to backup my address , but I have never have to resort to this . it be very user friendly , and everyone in the family have no trouble use it . one time I have a problem get get reception . I contact tech support and quickly receive some advice that work right away . -lrb- it turn out that dust can collect in the antenna attachment - I be tell to just pull it off , blow on the connection , and replace it . Voila - satellite connection be restore ! -rrb- other than that , I have have no problem with my unit . the only two issue that would make this gp better would be to have it smaller and to have a internal battery . however , even with these drawback , it be a great gp , and my entire family have be very happy with it . +79 GPS POS 5 how can people slam the Legend when it can be pick up for less than $ more than the basic etrex ? I use the basic model for over a year , love it , then buy the Legend . I be delighted with all the extra option . the high re screen , much better than the original etrex . I love that I can upload my waypoint and track from my old e-trex and download back to the new one . the pan map be a nice addition as be the calculator and calender . I think some people want it to perform like a $ 1000 unit but only pay $ 150 - do not listen to they . my only complaint be that the click-stick be not on the right side . +441 GPS POS 5 purchase for my parent -lrb- 80 year old -rrb- . they love it . Easy to use , and so far seem to be very accurate . +881 GPS POS 5 I just get to use it , and it work great . the screen could be a little brighter in the shade . +515 GPS POS 4 the combo pack for $ 199 be great . it doesnt come with a ac adapter for home , only for the car . the case be good and the Magellan software -lrb- my third Magellan product -rrb- be easy to use . the button could have be improve with lighting but all in all a great value for the price , especially compare with over price Garmin , etc. . +592 GPS POS 5 it be a great product - just a couple of thing . there be address that it do not recognize , and sometimes it default to South Elgin when I put in Elgin , send one to the wrong part of town . and occasionally it refuse to believe that a intersection exist . but by in large it be a fabulous product . +434 GPS POS 5 a excellent device for marathon training . I be run my first marathon in October and in a sort of weird way , this device be key to keep I on target . I use it for the entire week , against my set training plan -lrb- 32 mile this week -rrb- without charge it . at the end of the week , I pop it in the dock to download datum and recharge . I use it primarily to track my mileage , time , and pace . I also look at heart rate and elevation to determine improvement . the real beauty of this device be the ability to run ANY route you want , without even think about the distance before hand . the garmin Training Center software be so-so . I would really like to do more with the datum in term of analysis and graphing , but it be a pain with the raw datum -lrb- export function -rrb- . I understand you can use the web software -lrb- motionbased or connect -rrb- to do more , but I have not experiment yet with the web software . as for size , some have complain about it , BUT I do not have any problem with the size . I do not have big wrist either . it be certainly larger than a watch and it do take up a good portion of the top and side of the wrist . look at it this way , you look like a serious runner with it ! it \* may \* be a problem for a petite female with very small wrist . the heart monitor be also no big deal . I wear it all the time , and barely know it be there . sometimes when I sweat a lot , it start to slip down a little . you can either tighten it or occasionally re-adjust as you run . I do not like it tight , to ease my breathing . as for reliability ... no issue . Works flawlessly . it do take a couple of minute to acquire satellite signal prior to run . I be glad I do not buy the newer 405 base on its review . -lrb- but the new 310xt look very nice -rrb- in my opinion , you can not go wrong with the 305 . +216 GPS POS 4 I buy this gp for my honeymoon trip on a cruise liner . I take it on the top deck and plot the ship 's position relative to its sailing along the eastern US Coast -lrb- we sail from NYC to pr , and St Thomas -rrb- . I be able to track we speed and course the entire time . the battery last as long as the box say , about 12 hour straight . the screen be easy to read and the device be simple enough to use . I be impressed . +660 GPS POS 5 I really like they , and this model be slightly improve over previous one . it have a additional screen that conveniently display additional information . it be easy to use and accurate . the first one I own fail due to a software glitch , but Garmin provide I with a patch . I especially like the ability to download waypoint from my topographical program . get the carry case so the screen do not get scratch up . +707 GPS NEG 1 the device break down in 8 month . it take a 30 min wait time with Garmin customer service , and the representative tell I that in this situation there be nothing they can do . I have to ship the device back with my own expense and they offer I a `` refurbish '' device with 3 month warranty on it . I do not know what be the future of this refurbish device , but I be not so confident . also if something go wrong , the charge to fix a issue be $ 110 + ~ $ 10 for shipping . wonderful ! $ 120 to fix a $ 149 device . this be what happen when there be no competition in the market . I hope someone rise to stop this . +951 GPS POS 4 a big feature for this unit be the lifetime traffic and map . more and more manufacturer be do this and it be great for we the consumer . make life a lot easier and we will hook the unit up to the computer to get the map . while do that we will update the software too , which might not happen as often otherwise . I have use various tomtom before as well as many other gp unit . this unit have a great screen . big and easy to see . unless you be get sun on it . screen get wash out in sunlight . the menu be fairly easy to use and maneuver , but can get confuse at time try to figure out where to go . IQ route be great . nice to have that in calculate route . but cancel a route be too complicate . Satellite lock be quick and solid . Lane guidance and exit sign be great . in fact TomTom seem to have more of they than other unit I have use . I like the flash green arrow to show you what lane you should be in . nice , visual feature . big complaint I have be the mount . it be way too hard to attach to the windshield and the GPS have fall off more than once . give I the traditional mount please ... these ez mount be anything but ez . not a bad gp with some nice feature . but ultimately , I need to be assure the unit will stay put and be able to see it in the sun . +605 GPS NEG 2 bought my e-trek Legend in March 2002 for geocach ; initially it do ok , track well but lose signal often when under leafcover in the wood . start notice power shutoff problem when first turn it on ; think it be the battery connection , I be begin now to think it be poor\/thin soldering in the manufacture . now the click stick will only work in two of four direction . for what I pay for it , and as little as I use it , I doubt if I 'll replace it with another Garmin e-Trek , they just do not seem substantial enough for hike -lrb- to think , I cradle that thing like a baby in the wood , be careful with it ! -rrb- . +542 GPS POS 4 I be very pleased with my Garmin Nuvi 1450 purchase . I have be use it for about a month and have have no problem with it . recently , I download and install the software patch that be cause some Nuvi 's to freeze up . I be look forward to take it on my trip to Boston at the end of the month . +7 GPS POS 4 I have be debate get this item for month . it be a great price for a great item . only small hiccup be when leave house it take I around block instead of straight through . but it recalculate very very quickly when I go off route . I love the fact that it have pous already available for you to search for and get direction too . the lighting and even mount be work great . +285 GPS POS 5 I have get my i3 for six month now . other than the occasional hard-freeze -lrb- require the removal of car adapter power and open the battery compartment door to kill power and restart -rrb- and also some inaccuracy in the map datum -lrb- I do not attribute this issue to the unit per se but the datum provider -rrb- , the unit have be well worth every cent I pay for it . I live in Seattle , but I take my i3 along with I to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico -lrb- about 2000 mile away -rrb- , and also to Singapore -lrb- over 8000 mile away ! -rrb- , and in both case , the unit be able to figure out where it be after it take well over 10 minute acquire satellite . it just do not have the correct datum to work in those place . Thought that be something fun to know . +225 GPS POS 5 Garmin out rank they all . I buy the GPS as a gift , it be so great , I buy one for myself . could not ask for a better product and the price be great ! +470 GPS POS 4 I purchase Magellan map 330x two year ago . that one be work really fine . but because its design be not as cute as I would expect , I sell it off eBay one year ago . then I be search for a replacement one , and it be find to be Garmin eTrex Vista . so I purchase it and use it during the 2002 Christmas vacation in California . to my much disappointment , it be really quite inferior to map330 . the only reason I buy it be it it look cute , easy to fit my pocket . however , on technically side , there be many problem . after make painfully decision , I decide to sell it and buy back the map300 again . First , Garmin 's gp do not come with the detailed city map , which be sell separately for $ 99 + . it be quite expensive . Magellan 's city map come with map330x . -lrb- Garmin 's GPS be already sell higher than comparable Magellan 's -rrb- . second , Vista 's map on the screen be not float . for example , if the street name be `` Main St. '' , and the first two character `` Ma '' be happen to be cutoff on the left side , the screen only display `` in St. '' . very bad , be not it ? map330x 's text name be float to fit in the screen . Third , very very bad , Vista be very slow and difficult to lock the satellite signal . and once it do lock , it be quite easy to get lose -lrb- see other review for any Magellan GPS -rrb- . this be the main problem that make I abandon it finally , even though I like its stylish design so much . fourth , once it lose the satellite signal , it display the message on the bottom of all screen and just will not go , which block the necessary information -lrb- such as elevator , distance , street name , etc. -rrb- that I will like to see even though the signal be off . Fifth , it be quite difficult to navigate the map to left , right , up or down . in map330x , you just move the cursor , use one hand only , can do it , whilea same functionality in Vista need two step and need two hand . it be not likely to do it during drive . Sixth , although Vista outside design be quite cute , its button location be very bad . it be very difficult to manipulate they use one hand during the driving . you may say it be not suppose to use it during drive . but use it during drive , so what , it be just a quite look on the screen , just like drink a soda or eat a bite of mcdonald . it do not cause any problem when use probably . plus , it be only useful during the drive when one need to figure out if he\/she be in the right direction on highway , or if miss a exit , and how far it be need to get the destination . without the proper use of it with one hand , you bet how many people will be buy a gp . Seventh , when Vista be first turn on , it lock the screen to scan the satellite frequency -lrb- which be already quite long compare with map330x -rrb- and do not allow you to go to any other screen further . this be also very bad feature . sometime I just want to see the map of last location , I do not really need to track the current location ; or I just want to setup configuration , why should I have to wait the satellite signal ? there be also other major issue such as not show what be the version number of the firmware , how much memory be leave , what kind of external map be load , etc. . in this deflationary world , I make purchase carefully on high-tech gadget . I understand the price will drop quickly . so if I do buy it , I really expect to own it and consider the money be discard . if a company do not provide a good product , it can not expect to sell it too many , because nowadays there be on-line auction and trading site everywhere . if a customer do not like the product generally after use it , he\/she will sell it , say , at eBay . therefore , the used one get circulate again and again in the secondary trading market , make the new one difficult to be mass sell . +763 GPS POS 5 I have a old Street pilot . I buy a new car and be unable to find my old dashboard mount . in my last vehicle I use a purchase bean bag mount and lose the dashboard mount that originally come with my Street pilot . so , I be a little hesitant to order this dashboard mount . I be quite pleased to find it be exactly what I need and even come with mount instruction -lrb- which I also lose with the old one -rrb- . +137 GPS NEU 3 just get my Edge 800 a couple of week ago , and until now I be pretty satisfied , all though there be some small annoying thing and that be why I only rate it 3 star , but that might not influence you product . 1 . I have have 3 freeze so far and that be a little to much within the short time I have have it , so I have have to reboot it . 2 . the mount be not fit for my MTB , it simply do not work well with the handlebar and not at all on the stem , so if you have a short stem , be prepare , it might not mount at all . 3 . you might need to turn up for the background light to see you datum while biking . about the mount , I do have a Edge 705 the mount for that fitted fine for my mtb with short stem , so I figure this one would as well . I ask Garmin about it and the only answer they could come up with be : `` you may be able to purchase larger band for the mount '' ... Dah , what do that help , well I figure that be a typical Garmin answer , so what I do be to cut some rubber from a use inner tube tie it with a ziplock and put the Edge 800 mount on top of that ... so now I can use it , but be not proud of my setup : - -rrb- come down to the digital part , it be great , just notice that the screen be not at all crystal clear and sharp , but it be work ok , the touchscreen be easy to use and do work with biking glove . the setup possibility be great , you can tune it almost 100 % into the computer and info you want in front of you , and that be some great feature . I use it for interval , and set that up be a little time consuming , but the workout you have when you be do be perfect and 100 % yours , the little `` info '' beep be not loud enough , so I overhear it and mess up my interval , but I guess I need to make more attention , the Edge 705 be way louder . I 'll post a image of my homemade mtb mount . +670 GPS POS 5 the Garmin 76 CSx GPS this as good as it get for now . it have every thing a outdoors person need they even put a jump master on this thing . I love it +299 GPS POS 5 I have about 15 run on it so far . I use it at lease 3 time a week . almost everyone everyone in my run group -lrb- desert dash -rrb- have on . will not go wrong with this one . +925 GPS POS 5 drive through down town dc with this be a breeze . I love garmin software , it actually get I through some of the more confusing exit that be not really exit like near the kennedy center . small and easy to use ! +467 GPS NEG 1 I buy this Garmin because it seem like it would be easy to use . my daughter have a 350 and she love it . but I do not love mine . it only hold a charge for about 2 hour , it do not come with any external battery charge except a vehicle power outlet cord and when I plug the GPU unit in it immediately go into charge mode and will not operate . same thing when I plug it into my desktop comptuter at home -lrb- with a usb cord from my camera , since one be not supply with the Garmin . -rrb- when it be charge , I can not do anything else : no naviagaion , no download waypoint , nothing . plus , it doen ' t know where anything be ! it send I way out of my way or onto dead end street try to get anywhere ! I do not know anything about other GPS unit , but if they be all like this , who need it ?? I 'll just go back to my old way : highway map and print out from Google map -- they be more accurate anyway ... +922 GPS POS 4 decent beginner level gp for geocach only . prior to purchase this item I be use a iPhone for Geocaching . the battery on the iPhone drain rapidly when Geocaching . the eXplorist gc have a excellent battery life . it be accurate at get to the coordinate . it can store quite a few cache with all the necessary datum and hint , waypoint , etc. . price point be 50 to 75 % less than other gp device . instruction that come with the unit be useless . you must download the manual from the Magellan website . even then I have to go to some forum to get some answer about the unit . biggest con about the device : it do not have a internal compass ; use gp reading to plot you direction . if you be not move , there be no way to tell what direction you need to go . as a result , it be easy to start in the wrong direction until the directional indicator get enough reading from the satellite . also , you can display the long\/lat coordinate of the cache , but you can not do a side by side with you current coordinate vs cache coordinate . accuracy be about 10 to 12 foot of cache -lrb- iPhone can be 100 foot off -rrb- . paired with a hiker compass this unit work quite well . +153 GPS NEG 1 my holder break after use for a month . it have a design problem . there be a very strong spring inside the holder ' four screw be place in each side of the holder to place two plastic part together . there be nothing to support the two plastic part together in the middle where they place the spring at . what happen to my holder be that the plastic deform due to the strong tension inside . I be very disappointed at this product , since I be plane to drive one of my friend to the airport that day . +479 GPS POS 4 great product , essential training aid , work well and datum be reliable . only downfall be that it be a little bulky . +56 GPS NEU 3 I do not purchase this item from Amazon as the Red version be not my first choice . my unit be purchase directly from TomTom . this be not my first TomTom PND . from my previous dealings with TomTom and TomTom Home I know that you need to create a new account for each TomTom device that you own . strange that the company design they product support expect that a customer will only ever buy one of they device . that be say , even a new account do not help with register and use the ease with the pc software . when I try to register my ease I receive a error message the say that there be a invalid version of the TomTom application on my device . the company website be no help . a call to they support line give the excuse that the ease be ` too new ' and that TomTom be work on fix the Home application to recognize this unrecognized device . this should have be do before the product release . the ease work well as a pnd out of the box and I like the attach folding suction cup mount . until the ease be support by the Home application and the customer support telephone menu it do not have anything else go for it . +59 GPS POS 4 price come down the day after I receive it . not sure how to return it as it have be a while since I get it . the product be good though . +284 GPS NEU 3 I recently purchase a Magellan 3030-LM from Amazon which , as the model number imply , include Lifetime Map update . unfortunately for I , I could not read the `` fine print '' on the product box , as no where on the Amazon product page or product description do it say that I must use m Windows VISTA or Windows 7 base pc to get Lifetime Map update . so , if you use any flavor of Linux or Mac you be out of luck get the update , unless you want to hike to the nearest friend , relative , library , or other place where you can borrow a m Windows VISTA or Windows 7 computer to do you map update . the product as a whole seem to be good . I be impress with the screen size , the touch screen function and clarity . the unit seem to function well , hard to really say after only 3 hour , but I be dismay when I begin the recommend immediate update only to find that I could not without jump through hoop . I contact Magellan 800 # technical support and while they apologize , they be all but helpful . I do get to speak to a manager , who again apologize , but only lead I to believe that Magellan know this problem exist with non-windows user , and could only say that she would report my concern . 12\/20\/2010 Update : I drag my Magellan 3030-LM to a windoze base system , be able to log in and find that while I should run update , no update be available as my gp already have the most recent version -lrb- actually newest available -rrb- already install . other than the windoze requirement , the gp seem to work well . I only have a couple issue that concern I . the map datum list road that should not be travel -lrb- 4th class or lower -rrb- and some road that do not exist or have not exist for year . I live in rural Vermont and we have many 4th class road , that be accessible maybe during some summer month and then only with a 4wd vehicle . other road have be `` throw up '' or discontinue . the map still show they , 30 plus year later . no wonder people stop by my house ask how to get to certain road . they be follow they gp . I specifically test my unit where I know it might tell I to go on a non existent road , and sure enough , it do . my warning to you be , if the road look like it be get rougher and narrower , turn around now ! another issue with the map be there have be road change here in Vermont , as elsewhere , where the road bed no longer follow the path show on the map . I travel a road yesterday , that be change nearly 15 year ago , and the GPS think I be off the road somewhere , dance around look for a way to return to a normal path , tell I to make a legal u-turn as soon as I could . while I be sure the map folk be do a fine job , there do not seem to be a way to report to they that they map have some bug . lastly , there be one irritating issue I have . I do not like the sound on when I be on known road , and I be just try to locate a address . I can see well enough so I mute the sound . well , for some odd reason , while the speaker show that it be muted , every now and then I will get annoying verbal instruction . this also happen yesterday , as I be travel home . I end up turn the GPS off . 12\/27\/2010 receive a microsd -lrb- sandisk -rrb- 2gb card as a gift . the Magellan Roadmate 3030 seem to know it be there , as each time I turn the gp on it warn `` Supplementary Content Detected - to access content , a restart be require '' ... but a restart will not cause it to remember that the sd card be add . also , there do not seem to be a way to access the card once install ... read and re-read download `` user manual '' from Magellan and find no useful sd information or instruction . 08\/09\/2011 Magellan Content Manager tell I that there be update available for my unit with Lifetime Maps . I connect and Content Manger tell I there be a software and a map update from 41 to 43 available . I tell Content Manager to update , and it proceed to download and install a software update to the unit . I be then instruct by Content Manager to unplug my unit and it would automatically reboot , which it do and it appear to have install a update . I then connect my unit back to the pc and rerun Content Manager and it tell I there be a `` Free '' no cost -rrb- map update from 41 to 43 . I tell Content Manager to update which it start to download . somewhere in the process it come up `` fail '' and I be instruct that I must reinstall old update , which appear to happen automatically as my system say that it have map 41 . however , when I try to connect and update the map , which be available , it now tell I I must `` buy '' they , which be ludicrous as I have a Lifetime map unit . somewhere in the process Magellan record or they Content Manager be mess up . I have try to contact Magellan , but they be only available 6am to 5pm pst\/pdt , so now I must wait until tomorrow to try and call they . in the mean time I have send a email , hope that someone there might read it before I call and initiate a email response or telephone call . I be become less enthusiastic about this unit as time go by . 9\/20\/2011 follow my previous update , I be finally able to contact Magellan support and they do respond and I be able to talk to a technician who walk I through a rest that would allow the full map update to occur . however , once the update be in place , the main feature of the rm3030 that I use most frequently , the ability to set multi-stop destination and optimize the trip , be break . I could no longer add destination from my address book , the check mark to add the destination have disappear after the software update . after multiple email to Magellan they determine that it be hardware related and I be instruct to send my unit back for repair\/replacement . after several day , I receive word that repair be not a option and that they would replace my unit with a brand new one and they would install the software and map update prior to shipment to I . that be say , I wait and the replacement come today . I restore my address book to the new unit and immediately try to create a multiple stop route use address in my address book . no go ! I immediately call support and get a technician right away and after nearly a hour on the phone I have he try the same step on a 3030 and he duplicate my problem and it be finally determine that there be indeed probably a software issue with version 4.82 and it would affect any user of the 3030 use multi-stop destination route from the address book . I be now go to have to wait to see if there will be a quick software resolution or not . will keep you post . 11\/4\/2011 receive word on Content Manager that a update be available -lrb- 64mb -rrb- . it appear to be a software version update 4.91 . so I download and install with no problem . however , check update against my previous issue show that there be no fix to the multi-stop problem and road and address that I have note in the past year be still miss . a road down the street from I that be construct last year appear , but a friend who live in VA at the same address for over 5 year , they road and whole development do not appear . I be begin to question the sanity of buy this unit . I now have another GPS , a Garmin etrex Vista HCx hand hold which be truly amazing for its size . while I do not have lifetime map update on it , I have find that it be more accurate on many of the local road than my Magellan with recently update map . it also , I have find , have a multi-stop feature , that while not as slick as the suppose one in the Magellan , work quite well . will be look at a Garmin car pnd in the future . I have find a possible store that I may possibly `` test drive '' some unit before purchase . on another note , I contact AAA and there be a update available for the AAA Tour map that you can get if you be a aaa member . just log into the aaa site near you , and go to -lrb- ... -rrb- where if you look closely you will find by a couple of mouse click a free download that should update the AAA info to 8\/2011 datum . March 7 , 2012 : Update after much thought , I be look for another pnd . while the Magellan 3030-LM appear to fill my need , after the `` upgrade '' that break the multi-stop destination feature , and the fact after another update , the problem be not fix , I be look again . to sum up the 3030-LM , the multi-stop function be the main drawing card , which no longer work . add to that the fact that LifeTime map be not current or accurate make it less appealing . have a micro-sd slot that be there but not intend to work be a real drawing card . and finally , to put the frosting on the cake , I go to back up my address book , and it be no longer a option in the current version of Content Manager ! so even if I stay with Magellan , I could not transfer my address to a new unit . so long Magellan ! +889 GPS NEG 1 as far as the mount system go , the windshield mount look and work as if it come out of a 25cent bubble gum machine . it rattle all the time and when it do not it be only because it have fall of the windshield , the stay power be all of about 15 min . the actual Magellan be okay apart from the occasional two city off locator . if I sound sarcastic I be because I really dislike the product . +736 GPS POS 5 I own a old 3.5-inch Garmin StreetPilot c340 for a few year . it be a good small machine , and still work , but it be screen be small , and the body be very thick . it be time to buy another thin and big screen Garmin , so I get a 5 '' Nuvi 1490-MLT . it have a huge screen , and thin body just what I have be look for . I have this gp for a few month already , but do not really test it yet . it be work just fine like my old pilot so far . the 1490 t model price have drop significantly , but 1490-LMT model be still expense . +697 GPS POS 4 this be a very high quality screen protector , compare to other that I have use . it go on easily and the include finger cot and bubble remover work very well . it be much thinner and more supple than any other I have see , so my screen click be very accurate . it also seem to be very durable , though I have only have it a day , so can not judge how long it will last without scratch . however , the package only include one screen protector . that be the only reason I do not give it five star . for fifteen buck -lrb- include shipping -rrb- , I expect more than one protector in the package . if it be as good as it seem , I might never have to replace it and it would be worth it , but only time will tell . +904 GPS NEG 2 this gp be nicely set up and isnt too hard to operate . the bad side be that there be no website support for the US and it have a tracking problem . this could have be the one I have , but when you stop , gp keep flip you position around as if you be rotate in a circle . when you take off it have to reacquire you position . this be a problem if you be in a area with a lot of street where direction happen often . I would recommend get another gp from another company . +549 GPS NEG 2 I be look for a `` Top of the line '' consumer product - and have have good luck with Garmin aviation product in the past - so I think the GPSMAP 60csx be a good choice . though the unit do have some nice feature - but it have some glaring deficiency that must be acknowledge for the sake of would-be buyer . no map be include with the unit . ok - there be a `` base map '' that come with it - but it only include major highway . even in a `` big city '' there be not enough street show to figure out where you be with any degree of precision . in rural area or small town - you will appear to be out in a field when you be actually walk down Main street . the `` Base Map '' include be nothing but a tease - completely worthless . the `` OPTIONAL '' MAPS be expensive - figure on spending at least $ 60 for a detailed map that include the lower 49 -lrb- lower 49 ?! wonder if that include Hawaii or ??? -rrb- this be just plain `` cheap '' on Garmin 's part . the po nextar gp I buy for $ 59 2 year ago have detail map include . ca not Garmin do you the same courtesy when you spend $ 2oo + for they `` premium '' gp ? the include MICRO sd chip be TOO SMALL to DOWNLOAD A map to . geesh guy - thanks for the `` free '' 1gb Micro sd chip . too bad the smallest map take 1.2 gig ! I have to go out and buy one for $ 15 . be not you customer 's convenience worth that much ? you CA not DOWNLOAD MAPS DIRECTLY to the gpsmap 60csx ! that be right - this top of the line product can not just be hook to you pc with the usb cable to download the upgrade . you have to download the map to the Micro sd with a adapter . another trap - the software use for download do not `` know '' that the GPSMAP 60csx can not directly accept a download - it imply that it can , then will stubbornly try to do it - make you waste time until it time out with no helpful error message . Garmin 's licensing and copy-protection scheme make you jump through quite a few hoop . in spite of the fact you can not download map directly to this unit - you \* must \* have the unit attach to the pc while you be download as well as have the micro sd attach . apparently Garmin 's software do not like Mozilla Firefox either . try to use that browser will not show you the option link you need to select the Micro sd as a download destination . download the 1gb + file - even at dsl speed - did take quite a long time . apparently Garmin 's `` time remain '' feature on the connection software be schizophrenic - as it bounce between 21 minute and 45 minute and a few other random number before it finally finish - some large number of hour later - I get tired and go to bed 3 hour after it start download . `` maddening '' and `` patience-trying '' be two good term for what you will endure install map on this device . if I have a Garmin software `` engineer '' with I when I be do , I likely would have throttle he before the night be over . it be \* that \* bad . bitch aside - time will tell how useful this unit be , but if actually use it be near as painful as just install a map - I do not have high expectation so - go ahead and buy this unit in spite of my and other warning about what it will not do or do poorly . I be sure it have redeeming quality I have not discover yet - but DO be advise that get to any level of basic useability , you will be spend another $ 75 + buck just for continental US road map . Topo or international will set you back more . consider buy a unit where this be include . +814 GPS POS 4 it seem that this unit be either loved or hate by people . I find it to be a very good product -lrb- and no , I do not sell Garmin GPS unit and I be not a employee -rrb- . this be my first car navigation gp , but I have use several handheld unit in conjunction with map . one have to wonder if maybe Garmin be make this unit in two different factory , one with its act together and one ... not so much , to have this disparity in review . I will relate to you my experience with it , which be generally positive . first , it have never lock up on I , and the longest I have wait for a signal on startup have be maybe 45 seconds to 1 minute . that be in the middle of downtown Seattle . the speak direction be very nice , though the voice be a bit mechanical . the voice give you street name and distance , which be almost as good as a good navigator ride shotgun . if you happen to be in the thick of traffic and do not hear the announcement , just press the `` SPEAK '' button and the message will repeat . I be visit Seattle for a few day . I have never be there prior to my trip . all in all it get I around very well as far as I can tell . the route feature be fairly nice , but I have a couple quibble with it . first , there be no easy way to tell it that I have reach the next destination on the route , so the only way to get it to take I to the next stop be to drive past my destination a bit sometimes . secondly , I be on a 11 stop route , start at my hotel and end there again . it work beautifully for the first four stop , but decide to give up and return I to my hotel . I delete the first four stop in the route and then restart it . after that , it work like a charm . in familiar territory -lrb- Phoenix , AZ -rrb- it pick very sensible route and the route exclusion feature be very powerful , able to rule out type of road , specific road , and even draw a rectangular avoid area on the map . by default , the route finder will find a least time route , but that can be configure to find shortest distance , or off-road -lrb- straight line -rrb- . the 2720 can also be set to prompt you for the method it should use . the remote , as far as I be concerned , be not terribly useful . it be just another item to get lose in you car . the number of location program into the unit be amazing . in addition to the obvious food , lodging , and gas location it have bank and atm , retail shopping , entertainment venue , and even veterinarian . you can search by name or by category , so if you be jonese for italian , it will find it for you . overall , I would recommend this unit if you can get one that work properly . I have not have the problem that have vex other , luckily . I be still run the 2.50 version of the software . +835 GPS POS 5 Works very nice . nice for the price . Works nice when you be in a unfamilar town\/city +513 GPS POS 5 after I lose my old Magellan , I look at the price of the new one and also at my original . for less than half the price I get the same feature I want in the 4 year old model - I still like it . +401 GPS POS 5 the product be exactly what I be look for . arrive in quick order and the product work just great . +436 GPS POS 5 I have be want to plug my usb printer into my network for a while now , so that all of my computer can print without have to keep one `` server '' computer on all the time . first , I use a custom firmware for my router , and plug the printer into its usb port . it be alright , but print job would take a few seconds to `` arrive '' at the router , and the firmware end up brick my router . so I look into this device . my printer be not on the support printer list , but I guess that it would be fine because it be a pretty basic `` print only '' printer , a Samsung ml-1660 . I do not install any software that come with this print server - I just plug it in , find its IP address by check which `` attach device '' IP address match the MAC address print on the device , and install a new printer on a `` local '' tcp\/ip port , point to the aforementioned IP address . send a test page and it immediately print - exactly what I want - a simple device that do not require any extra software to be install on client computer . work on Windows 7 pro x64 and x86 . highly recommend . only mistake I make be I assume it would not come with a cat5 cable , so I order one with it . turn out it do come with a 6ft black cat5e cable . +330 GPS NEG 1 this be my second 1450 . the first one I return as it would not find the satellite . I call Garmin support and spend a hour on the phone with they to be tell to send it to they for repair . I decline and return it to Amazon for replacement . ok ... I get the replacement 1450 from Amazon and same exact problem . do all the thing I do before include update the software and the map . -lrb- why in the hell do it not ship with all the current update ?? -rrb- however , it still will not find the satellite at all . I also have a Garmin 255w which work quite well and find and hold the satellite quickly from the same location and while drive a 7 mile test route . so the replacement be go back and I will never buy another Garmin piece of crap product ever again . I will now begin a search for another GPS product to meet my need . the only thing good about this be Amazon 's customer service ! Update ... I spend almost 6 month look for a better gp unit than my Garmin 255w and go with the BMW Portable Navigation unit . it be expensive but do work quite well . +113 GPS POS 5 I have have this since it come out about 2 year ago . have this little thing take the guesswork out of figure how far you have go . the free motionbased service include with this be also a very nice way to keep track of you training . Garmin be constantly release software and firmware update for this device . the biggest improvement I have see be with the GPS aquisition when you first turn it on . it pick they up very quickly and it rarely lose a signal , even when under a heavy tree canopy . +313 GPS NEU 3 the mount attach to both my bike and my 60cx fine . I have no fear of it fall off . the problem be when I hit a bump , the gp turn off . yes , this be a road bike , not trail . for example the bump when you go onto and off of small bridge cause this problem . I think you have to buy a gp make for biking . +140 GPS NEG 1 so without any notice ... or any additional information on the product until we go to unlock the new 2008 map . previous year you could unlock the map for 2 device -lrb- we have a pair of gpsmap 60cs unit -rrb- . as of 2008 , apparently you can only use the map unlock code with a single unit and must purchase a second unlock code for you second device . the Garmin website be a mess and any additional information about unlock code be miss from they website . some of they own link end in broken link that turn up no information . when I buy these unit , they be pretty much the only game in town as far as a good screen and a portable unit . now there be a ton of other option . if you be look to buy a new unit ... I would look elsewhere . Garmin be downright hostile to the enduser . maybe all of the gp company be ... but I intend on find out now and will not buy anything else from Garmin again . there have be complaint by other for year about how hard and complex the unlock code process be ... I agree . I have be able to get through it once a year . insult to injury , now it be go to cost I even more -lrb- on top of the mental anguish -rrb- if I want to use this update on both of my Garmin GPS 's . Buyer beware . +419 GPS POS 5 I have to throw my experience in here after read many negative review about Garmin customer service . I first have a Garmin V Deluxe then upgrade to the 60c . I love my 60c ... I be certain there be some con , but I can not think of many right now . it would be great to have expandable memory . customer service : I have trouble with my Mapsource software cd . I get a response email within 48 hour ... and they replace my CD within the week . I have a question about function on my gp v and I get a reply again within 48 hour . two different occassion I get great support from Garmin . it may not be typical , but it do happen . back to the 60c ... I really like it . I use it while hike to keep track of the trip -lrb- odometer , time elapse , back track -rrb- I use it geocach . I use it in the car . -lrb- smaller screen but still useable -rrb- the color make it really nice and clear . +248 GPS POS 5 I have have this gp since August 07 , I love it !! wonder why I do not buy one sooner . I like it so well I buy my parent one for Christmas . it be so easy to use right out of the box . my uncle have a Tom Tom I find it very difficult to use . the garmin be simple !! +920 GPS POS 5 I have one of these stick on my Garmin Oregon 450t and I can not even tell it be there . it get filthy and I use the touch screen all day , and the screen protector do not get in the way . it have not have to prevent any big scratch yet , thankfully , but I think it would do just fine . +102 GPS NEU 3 the Garmen 350 download do not work properly on the first try . there be no way to get a second try . no tech support on the weekend . do not give street name for county road . -lrb- County road not often marked -rrb- . Voice difficult to understand . direction regard map loading do not exist or be hard to find . have say all that , it be useful and kind of fun . and a decent price on Amazon . +778 GPS POS 5 Easy to work with , the `` free update map '' download as expect , it take 1 hour but go without a glitch . +886 GPS POS 5 it be very useful for I because i have lose the original ... it make the same effect ... cheap and now i can use the gp normally +979 GPS NEU 3 the display be nothing like what be picture on the web site . the sharpness , black and white , just be not there . it do not come with a print use manual . it do have a manual on a CD if that be the way you like to study a use manual then go for it . +945 GPS POS 4 there be some road not find in the garman . some road be missname , but even with these fault , I have take many trip out of state and to other place and it get I to be I be go . I would recommend this product . +115 GPS POS 4 for the money this case be very satisfactory . the garmin 1490 fit perfectly and there be room for the computer to garmin cable in the front pouch . note that there be not room to store the 12v to garmin power supply cable . all and all to protect you Garmin from scratch and mild shock this case work perfectly . +968 GPS POS 4 we have a build in GPS in we vehicle but decide to purchase the Nuvi 1450 LM -lrb- refurbish -rrb- for we upcome vacation . it be almost cheaper to purchase this than to rent a gp at the car rental . have be use it for several week now to make sure we know how to use it . really like it - bright screen , good adjustable volume , and direction that be readily understandable . in some way I like it better than the install one in we own vehicle . be a little concerned about refurbish but have have no problem . Make sure to read the direction and then play around with some of the feature until you be comfortable with it . I would recommend this item . the one fault I have with this be the downloading of map - mess up my computer for about 24 hr . I have a Mac and run window on it - try to install on the pc side -lrb- big mistake -rrb- . when I take it off the pc side and reinstall on the Mac side - no problem . map downloading be still very lengthy . this item be purchase through Amazon but ship directly from Garmin . ship be free and we receive it in less time than expect . +229 GPS POS 5 the receiver work as publish . after a ` cold ' start get a good fix be immediate to 5 seconds . I use this with a Samsung netbook for navigation on a recent trip . I would use the machine , then hibernate the machine . a hour or so latter I would wake up the machine and the GPS would already have satellite lock before the machine would be ready -lrb- 15 seconds -rrb- . the satellite memory would last a hour or two without power . a ` cold ' start take about 30 seconds . once about every 5 ` cold ' start the receiver would give up and never get a lock . however once a lock be achieve the receiver work flawlessly . as long as I give it power ever hour or two it would keep the lock . +777 GPS POS 5 this be a well-made case of good quality and it fit my gp nicely . if I could improve it just a smidge , I would call for a back-stitch or glue point on the stitch so that there would be no unraveling . +151 GPS POS 5 I have a Magellan previously but the screen on this unit be much larger and easier to view when drive . +286 GPS POS 5 I buy this before a trip to California that take we to San Francisco , San Jose , Santa Cruz , Lake Tahoe and Yosemite NP . this be the first time we do not plan any segment of a trip , or print drive direction . therefore it be a big risk , especially for someone suspicious of technology . after the trip , I have to admit this device have spoil I . all those thought that get I stressed while drive , e.g. , `` which direction be I drive ? '' , `` what be the name of that street ? '' etc. , be go . toward the end of the trip I be make turn without even check the name of the street . if I miss a turn , it would reroute very fast . I be a little nervous about how it would work in the wilderness of Yosemite , but it be accurate throughout . even the rapidly fluctuate speed limit on the wind mountain road -lrb- e.g. , 45 to 25 to 35 to 20 to 35 etc -rrb- be accurately display . I do not know how well it will work in future trip elsewhere , but base on this one long trip I highly recommend this device . I can not wait to take it to we next trip . +712 GPS NEU 3 I really love the concept and the feature , but it be very inaccurate when run near tree or in the city . I also have the Timex oem with the big arm strap Garmin GPS receiver and it be by far a better receiver and interpolate between low gp signal spot accuratley , but I have to wear 4 thing on my body to get same functionality and no download of datum . I find my self use the Timex anyway because it be more reliable . the 301 do not interpolate between point . the heart rate monitor frequently lose or have false high value , but not too bad . the description for the ForeRunner 305 say it have better reception , have anyone experience it or see a comparison ? be there a way to demo one to see if it work any better . +371 GPS POS 5 I have be with Garmin since my first gp . I have the Garmin Nuvi 265T and it work well for I until the map have expire and I have to pay to purchase a map . I figure if I purchase the map , my total for what I pay for the gp plus the map will be equal to buy a newer gp . my friend let I use she Garmin 765T and it be wonderful . I have always believe that the Garmin system be very user-friendly , and it be the reason why I do not want to switch manufacturer . however , whenever I look at the newer model , it seem that I have to pay more for a new Garmin unit which have less feature than what other manufacturer brand be offer . I look around and the TomTom XXL 540tm really take my interest . I keep on look around and read all the review here and it seem like it be easier for I to accept its con than what I have read in other GPS unit . I wait for black Friday Sale to get a unit . I check Amazon 's price and think that be the best deal , but I see that Staples be offer the unit at the same price on black Friday so I decide to get it from Staples . I pay extra for sale tax but I be able to get the unit right away as compare with wait for 5-8 business day before delivery from Amazon -lrb- no , I be no longer a prime member -rrb- . pro : 1 . I like the wide screen . I have own the Nuvi 265T forever and it be a small screen compare to what I have with TomTom XXL . 2 . the lifetime map be very much appreciate . at least I know that I 'll never have to worry about my map be outdate . 3 . the traffic update be very helpful . I be drive home from NJ to md and it take I away from all the road congestion of people come home after Thanksgiving break and all the toll road be congest . the garmin I use have traffic feature in they but I have never experience anything helpful with it as what I have with my new TomTom . : -rrb- 4 . I like how it show I the total time and the total distance . I drive to NJ every weekend and I get impatient look at the Garmin GPS that I use because it would show I the number of mile I need to drive to reach a certain point on my trip and then when I finish drive those mile , I get another set of mile and it just feel endless . for a 3-hour -lrb- or more -rrb- every weekend , it can make I very impatient not know how much progress I be make with my drive . my new TomTom show I the total time and distance I need to drive , plus the number of mile I would be drive to reach segment of my trip . 5 . the TomTom XXL 540tm have a drive break suggestion ! awesome ! 6 . I like the audio quality better than the GPS unit I have use before . 7 . TomTom HOME be very user-friendly and make the GPS very easy to customize . con : 1 . I be use to the ease of mount of the Garmins . I own a Garmin friction mount so I never worry about mount the Garmin on the windshield . even so , it be never difficult to mount the garmin on the windshield . they be always easy to mount and to remove . I have a different luck with the TomTom . I have to get help mount it on the windshield because I be have difficulty turn the thing to make the suction thing stick to the windshield . then I have to keep it on the windshield once we be able to make it stick because I find it difficult to have to put it back there and remove it whenever I be not use the gp . then there be the challenge of put the GPS unit itself on the mount everytime I need to use it . it never take I less than thrice to make it stay mount on the mount . 2 . the traffic update only work when the unit be plug in to the charger . for some reason , I wish it work even when not plug in because it be always better to work with a gp wireless , right ? : -rrb- 3 . it do not really bother I , but for the benefit of other , this do not have bluetooth and expandable memory card slot . so far I have not encounter problem with not have enough space on the unit to update my map since I get it . so far , these be what I have observe . I be glad I decide to get a TomTom instead of another Garmin . I love all the feature and I definitely recommend it . : -rrb- +226 GPS POS 4 this navigator be slick . setup be easy and quick , and it adhere nicely to the windshield . both audible and visual navigation work fine , as the voice be clear and the screen be easy to see . input a address on the screen take just a minute , then you be good to go . the only down side to the unit be the outdated map that come preloaded . I buy the unit in July , 2007 but some three-year-old street in my city be not include . a call to Garmin reveal that they map be update every 15 month , but that must not be the case everywhere . regardless , I would purchase this product again . +10 GPS POS 5 I be go to make this review simple because you could write a short story to review this . pro : - Quality : excellent - screen clarity : excellent - ease of use : excellent - size : Excellent , Thin and perfect viewing size . - durability : excellent - feature : excellent - speed : Average , Loads Slow initially . - overall : have own 4 garmin , best version so Far for clarity and quality . -lrb- have not try the latest Model . -rrb- con : - Slow Updates , but expect with large map . - should include a neoprene case to protect the investment . - load slow initially . \*\* note \*\* always get the LMT version of any Garmin for hassle free map\/traffic update . - to GARMIN - should include a neoprene case to protect the investment . -lrb- charge $ 10 more and include it . -rrb- most will pay for the protection , and save the consumer the hassle of find one to fit . -lrb- show you care in about you customer investment in you product . -rrb- +200 GPS POS 5 this be the second gp runner watch I have own . I misplace the first one . I have be very satisfy with both of they . I just wish they could make it a little more compact . I have a small wrist and it be a little bulky . +869 GPS POS 5 First off , im glad i do not spend -rrb- $ 500 on a gp , i spend only $ 300 , and this little thing bring I everywhere . I have doubt about its capability , but i be amaze at its accuracy . the 128 meg card that come with the drive be enough to fit 5-6 state which be plenty for I . the only thing that bother I be the fact that enter a new address take patience , which you need anyway since u shouldnt be a aggressive driver . also , you should put the gp on the bottom of you windsheid in order to get faster satalite receiption , i have it near the cup holder , rear view mirror and it lose signal a couple of time , but once i put it in the front of the car near the wiper , it perform brilliantly ! I would recommend this device to anyone want a gp device and do not know electronics very well . the screen be small but why would you want to look at the screen anyway when it tell you where u should be go ! to I the screen size be a useless concern since you should be look at the road anyway . +891 GPS POS 5 my c340 unit be the first and only gp device I have ever use . I do quite a bit of research , read review and advertisement , ask other rv ` ers etc. . I purchase it primarily for use in my rv , just complete a 4500 mile trip through the US Midwest and Manitoba and Ontario . it be great , fall off the windshield once but I think that be my fault . after make sure that the suction cup and windshield be clean , that never happen again . I download the instruction manual prior to purchase , but the unit be so easy to use that the manual be not necessary . it could be improve in locate highway rest area and rv park . some be some program . we cross area where gasoline station be as scarce as hen 's tooth and the c340 be great in locate and guide we to gas station , a couple be off the highway and could not have be find with out the c340 . some of the feature I like most be a -rrb- if you misunderstand or miss what the voice prompt say , it will repeat : b -rrb- it can be use as a compass and speedometer . it will tell you you exact speed and direction : c -rrb- ease of use . on the negative side , once in a while , a turn instruction be too late but after I learn to pay a little more attention to the screen information , I find that I have plenty of time to be ready before the voice prompt . most of the time there be adequate notice . when a turn be miss , it immediately tell you how to correct the course . thing that would make it even better would be : entire route planning and display include estimate drive time and distance . for example , if I be plan a trip from Pittsburgh to Dallas , I would like to see the entire route and estimate drive time . of course that information be readably available other place . and Garmin do advise the user to use the c340 as a guide , not the sole input . for the price , it can not be beat ! +767 GPS POS 5 Garmin have really do it with this receiver . they basically take the accuracy of the gpsmap60cx and the waypoint \/ geocache manager software from the Oregon series and put it in one unit . the accuracy be excellent even under heavy canopy and the interface be extremely user friendly . all of the additional mapping feature -lrb- custom map -rrb- be just the icing on the cake . +380 GPS POS 5 this be my second Garmin GPS . my first one be several year old and need to be update but there be a charge for update . in check out the new one I discover this one have a lifetime free update , so I decide to purchase my most recent Garmin . the 5-inch screen be so easy to see and read . extremely easy to program and use . have travel quite a bit I have find this gp to be very accurate . would recommend this gp to anyone . love it ! also , I can not say enought wonderful thing about the service I receive from Amazon . when I first receive the new gp it have a couple of problem but I need it right away so I just make do until I finish my travel for a while . when I contact Amazon about the problem -lrb- eventhough it be way past 30 day -rrb- they could not have be nicer or more helpful . receive a replacement the next day . you do not get service like this just any where . Amazon be my number 1 shopping place and have be for qite a while . thank you Amazon . +491 GPS POS 5 I pick this Garmin because I be tire of mess with the ring on my ipod be so fickle . sometime I can not turn it up or down ... and also I can not see it in the sun . with this gp , I can just push a button . the product be easy to see and you can set it many way . also , I find mine to be very accurate . +585 GPS POS 4 after much thought I finally decide on buy the Garmin 62 . before I buy the 62 I have a garmin Legend Cx . this be a nice unit for its time . I have purchase the Legend Cx for geocach . well all these year later I be still geocach and want to find a device that would give I better reception under tree cover . so after review all the Garmin option I go with the Garmin 62 . as of now I have yet to use it outside . I have basically unboxed the unit and connect it to my computer and run the firmware update . I also buy the Garmin 24k topo map to install on the 62 . my biggest worry about the 62 be that I could not add a memory card to it to get more space . well ... I have download all of the topo map for New england -lrb- and I mean all of they -rrb- and I have just barely use a quarter of the 1.7 gb the unit come with ! Whhew ! this be my big worry ... so if you be concern about this ... do not be . later I may buy the lake topo but I suspect I will find the same thing , plenty of space . many reviewer say the 62 squeek . well mine do not . not even a sound when I turn it on , so no worry there . the unit iself fit nicely into the palm of you hand , feel very sturdy and have a good size screen , not huge mind you , but still bigger than the one I have on my Legend cx . the unit take about 60-90 seconds to initialize -lrb- inside my house -rrb- and then it find 7 or 8 sat . not bad for INSIDE . I take this evening to figure out how to donload gpx file into my unit for geocach -lrb- since I buy my gf a Garmin for Christmas I need to update mine , of course ! -rrb- we be plan on go geocach together so I want to get a number of gpx file into my 62 . firstly , you will need a Premium membership on Geocaching.com -lrb- $ 30 -rrb- in order to download gpx file . you will also need to update you gecaching profile to support gpx 1.1 format , this be do under the preference on the geocach website . get gpx file into the 62 be quite easy after you have install the Garmin software on you computer . basically just go to the cache , select the cache you wish to find and click on the small copy gpx icon to the far right ... and bam , the file be there , description , hint , log and all . so far I be very pleased with the unit . I also buy the Garmin 62 case and the clip attachment . I would suggest you skip the Garmin 60 series case and look for something that be larger to protect you device . the Garmin clip be very good and hold the unit solidly . so no worry on it fall off . I also buy some nimh battery so I could recharge after each outing , the unit actually have a setting for nimh which be very cool . after I have have the unit in the field I will report back on what I find ... but so far so good ! I can hardly wait to get out there and find some of those geocach hide under thick tree cover ! +849 GPS POS 5 easy to use , easy to setup . take it on a trip to the north wood of wisconsin and even the most remote road be recognize . I love the detour feature and the route recalc . my brother use the speedometer feature in he ski boat ! good buy for the money and for someone who want a good quality and easy to use GPS . +132 GPS POS 4 I have use this gp a number of time to keep record of route i have take and also help guide I when out in the mountain . and I rather like this gp it be the first one i have ever own and use , and within no time I figure out how to use most of the stuff on it . now for starter the battery life on it be pretty good and I like how you can set it to the type of battery and adjust the set to really max out the battery life . I have it run for a good 13 hour strait well I be out hike and I maybe check it every 5 minute to check for where I be and when be the next turn or area , and when I get back I check the status for the battery not a single drop on the life bar , which mean this can run for a few day without much worry on when the battery will die . but take note when store it because for some reason I end up with 2 dead lithium battery after about 2 day of it be turn off and store , this could have be cause by no sit signal thus it go into search mode similar to when cell phone have no signal and this can drain the battery pretty quickly which might also apply the same to this gp , or because when I put it away I may have put it against something which turn it back on or I may have accidentally hit the power button . anyways when you store it my advice be to take out the battery just in case . now the GPS 's ability to refresh the map as you move be good when move as well as it be ability to accurately give you you location . the manual be not much help , when it come to understand how to operate the GPS , instead go online and look for instructional video or document like I do for thing like how to use the track related feature . the GPS weigh very little when load with lithium battery which I recommend be use if weight matter also because they be slightly better when deal with cold temperature . the screen be also very easy to see clearly in the number of vary light level and even when light be reflect off the screen . now for the thing that really be the problem with this gp and all nearly every other on out there , from what I could learn , be the map you can buy they be extremely expensive and be just rip off it seem of map that be publicly available and\/or be sell in paper form for like a dollar . now if the map be just like 20-30 dollar a set no complaint because they be extremely useful and for I need because of the topo and road information . but over 100 dollar they cost and they only cover about 2-3 set state so you can not have have this and that state but instead this area of the US or that area and just hope the place you travel to be cover in one go . so if you can somehow get the map for free do not turn the offer down . +949 GPS POS 5 I have several piece of equipment in my front room that need a internet connection , and I do want to run ethernet cable all all through my house from my router in my bedroom . I have a friend recommend the Netgear WGPS606 wireless Print server . so I take my buddy 's suggestion and purchase the Netgear print server at a very good price at Amazon.com . I now have everything hook up and work like a charm , and it be all wireless . I could not ask for better . it be not hard to hook up , and configure . +2 GPS NEG 1 the device be difficult to use for the average person and the manual do not give very good instruction . also , I have have random problem . after take a full charge , it shut down the next morning in the first 5 minute of my workout . then on my next workout , it show the time and distance , etc. . . during the workout , but fail to record any of it to history , so the datum could not be view later . I do not find the feature describe in the manual to be useful and try to just use the basic feature of record workout seem to be hit or miss base on random problem . in try to email customer support , I continually receive notice that the system be not work and to try back later . I guess I 'll try call for support . I would not recommend this device . +416 GPS NEG 2 I have own this unit for a couple of year , and I have upgrade the software recently as well -lrb- rev 5.4 -rrb- . I would not buy another gp of this model , and I have doubt about Magellan product in general after my experience with this unit . my reason be a little different than other reviewer . on my unit , the electronic compass be unreliable , and have to be recalibrate every week . this be particularly so if it be use around the electromagnetic environment of a vehicle , and whenever battery be change . most importantly , there be no warning that the compass need to be reset . therefore you might find yourself walk along a head that be completely inaccurate , without realize it . one of the key issue when use a unit like this be trust , and in particular trust when in the ` nearly lose , semi panic ' situation that we all hope to never find ourselves in . my unit fall short often enough that I can not trust some of the datum I be get . in a effort to improve reliability I have set the compass orientation to `` GPS course '' , so that when the compass fail , then at least the direction of movement on the map will be reliable . however I find it disconcert when ` head ' be so dramatically incorrect . evidently ` head ' be datum derive from the internal compass , and the unit be happy to give datum that be inconsistent with it be own datum from the GPS direction . for example , when walk quickly east , the unit will always accurately show my movement on the map as east , even when the electronic compass have lose calibration . however on the next screen the ` head ' will be label as a ridiculous 221 degree , or some other bizarre number , even when the unit be pointed directly along the eastward line of movement . it seem to I that it should be easy for the unit to be program to show a warn to the user that the compass be give inaccurate datum , since the datum from the unit be in conflict with itself . if such a warning be reliable , then I would at least know when the unit need recalibration . sadly , Magellan seem to have make no effort to accomplish this . without a internal check of the electronic compass I would not trust this unit to get I out of trouble . in some way I should have anticipate this . clearly , a gp should not be rely on for simple information as to which way north be . it be much better for pinpoint you exact location , ultimately the most important datum that a gp offer . therefore if I ever need to buy another gp I would get one that do not have a internal compass . it would be nice if Magellan be to offer a software upgrade that allow the user to turn off the internal compass , so that battery use would be lower and datum would be more reliable . spurious datum be worse than no datum at all . +739 GPS POS 5 this 5 '' nuvus be the best I have have so far . the standard Garmin ease of operation along with the increase size make it a perfect aid in travel and navigation . the add Traffic Update feature be very helpful miss the backup around Atlanta 2 week ago while come home from Tampa . I will not travel without it ! +537 GPS POS 5 as a online shopper , I rarely make impulse buy and this be no exception . I do my research , read every review and finally pull the trigger on the xl335tm . what a great purchase it be ! I use to just use Sprint telenav from my Blackberry and it be a joke . the frustration of lose signal in downtown Chicago become too much . I be yet to lose signal on my TomTom . I prepare myself for a few hour worth of download time with the software and it be as expect . it work fine on Windows 7 and be so simple to install . once that be do , I take the ac cable that include live traffic update and hit the road . the product be easy to mount , easy to use and the traffic update actually work . the GPS be easy to remove from the mount if you want to hide it and it provide everything in a easy way . for the price and reliability , this product can not be beat . +645 GPS POS 5 the TomTom one be one of the best purchase that I have ever make , I have it with I all the time . I like it because it do not have all the bell and whistle of the other navigation aid . it do one thing and that be get you to where you want to be in the shortest time . I use it every time that I go out . the TomTom one be worth its ' weight in gold . I be glad that I bring the TomTom one and not some other navigation aid . highly recommend . +908 GPS POS 5 this be my second Garmin navigator , I drop the first and break the screen , so do not drop it ! I use it extensively all over the U.S. and Canada . I just charge it up and set out . the instruction it give and clear and correct . the street name pronunciation be sometime off and rather hilarious , but it work . I also use it walk . there have be a couple of time it do not find the address I be look for , in Canada . also , I be not sure how they select the business , but I have find 2 of the gas station it recommend closed -lrb- one of they for year ! -rrb- and a famous pub on Vancouver island be inexplicably miss . these be quibble , I take it with I wherever I go , it have change my life -lrb- as in , I get lose less often -rrb- . +235 GPS POS 4 Great little scanner . I have 2 of the popular scanner software 's which make it easier and almost fun to program . if you would like a nice informative manual do a search for Marksscanners , he write a great manual . you can print it out if you like , just have a fresh reem of paper handy . this scanner replace my bct780xlt . great price here at Amazon.com I use all my scanner remotely in house with software and pc . I also have a bct396t which work great . also have the Icom pcr-1500 . +452 GPS POS 4 why the speed display be wrong I use the 1450 for about 1 month , this week , I find several time , that the speed rate be not correct . it be very terrible . i do not know why , I will have to restart it . when the wrong occur , the voice message will delay , so , I miss some intersection . it be dangerous for I to adjust it during drive . by the way , the map have be update . and , in some area the road be under construction . the GPS do not know . +771 GPS POS 4 we love we Garmin . the only problem we have with it be sometimes it say , arrive at a address on the right and it be on the left . one address be three house from the address we program in . +344 GPS NEG 1 order one as a gift , and the recipient be unable to update it on she computer -lrb- computer complain about write i\/o error -rrb- . after troubleshoot per Tomtom 's website , I send it back for a replacement . the replacement show the same write i\/o error . give that one of the main selling point of the tm model be the lifetime map update , give that you can not update it I can not in good conscience recommend this to other until they fix they storage quality issue . +422 GPS POS 4 ive try several gp unit from Magellan & Garmin & I believe the nuvus 350 was\/is the best of they . the display on the Garmin 350 be much cleaner than the Magellan 2000 or 3000 & the touch screen be far easier to use than all the different button on the Magellan . and when youre drive down the highway at speed that could kill , you dont want something that go to take you attention away from what youre do . of the Garmin 330 , 340 & 350 I think the satellite reception be faster & more reliable on the NUVI 350 . it always located instantly inside or out & the only time ive lose reception be in a tunnel . deep inside a tunnel . I also prefer the compact size of the 350 . however , that small size come with the price of reduce the speaker -lrb- s -rrb- to 1 small rear mount speaker that face the windshield . this probably fall under the head of a `` personal problem '' as im a long distance truck driver & the truck be fairly loud & im fairly hard of hearing after a few year of these condition . I dont use the NUVI 350 in my car but I suspect the condition allow you to hear it much better . my only other complaint -lrb- and its a small one under that personal problem head again -rrb- be that you cant put more than two -lrb- 2 -rrb- destination in at a time . you can put many different location in the favorite or recently view list ahead of time & then just pick they when you get ready to leave you current or last destination . the NUVI 350 be very versatile & there be several `` work around '' to get what you need out of it . also , if you have no clue as to the address of a location but you do know or have a good idea where it be , you can use a stylus & -lrb- - -rrb- or -lrb- + -rrb- to pinpoint the location & then set it for route . in this mode you can also use you fingertip to `` slide '' the map around to locate a area . very nice & useful . I also like the constant northern point arrow to keep I orient , the 3d map & the clear direction & turn arrow . there also the stats & direction screen that be available at you fingertip . very easy to read & toggle to & from while drive . I havent use the mp3 player or the other function available & probably wont . although id like to hear more from other about the traffic watch service as that could be a useful tool in the right place . all the review ive read -lrb- although they be few -rrb- that didnt give the nuvus 350 at least 4 star seem a little silly . nothing personal , they just seem way over expectant . its just a gp unit after all ... overall , the NUVI 350 ia a great tool . I spend less time look for street sign & address & more time watch out for the traffic all around I . im more confidant when go into larger city & rural area as well as street & road be clearly mark on the NUVI 350 even if there be no sign in sight . +415 GPS NEG 2 buy the gp almost a year ago . at first it work fine but after several month I notice that I do not get any map update . I contact customer support and after several fail attempt to fix the issue they find out that my account be not setup with the right map update definition . they fix my account but now when download the new map update something go wrong and my device be unusable . I send the device to TomTom and 2 week later get a refurbish one hope that this would be the end of it . unfortunately not . few week later TomTom distribute a software update but apparently it have some bug . after install the update my device go funny again -lrb- stop charge , will not stay on when not connect to power -rrb- . so again I open a ticket with the support and again they ask I to reset my device and all kind of nonsense that do not help a bit . and again I have to ship my device to they -lrb- on my expense ! -rrb- so they will send I another refurbish device after 2 week -lrb- the 2nd time -rrb- . few day ago I get my 3rd refurbish device only to find out now that once again I can not update the map . I need to contact customer support again . when the GPS be work I love it . they have the best route algorithm and it be extremely easy to operate but they support be awful and this model have too many issue . do not buy TomTom until they improve they device quality and they support . +363 GPS NEU 3 I purchase this gp approximately two year ago and have have to replace the 12v electrical cord and the back plane mount device already . I use the device while on vacation . total time use while on maybe three dozen time . the external electrical connection be not very rugged . I have to hard wire the antenna as the fold down unit do not reliably maintain satellite connection . think twice before purchase ... only at a severe discount . +810 GPS NEG 1 I buy qty 2 of Magellan RoadMate 760 when they first come out think I be invest in a quality product and I be get a really nice discount for purchase 2 at a time . if only I wait for a few more month when Garmin or TomTom come out . this product be always take we in the longer route and wake up @ or after the turn have pass . on top of that the company charge you a lot of money to update you software\/maps . my 2 cent go with Garmin or TomTom . I just buy a Garmin for my brother . +144 GPS POS 5 I have be use this unit for about a week now . in a word , it be awesome . it act as a flash drive when connect via the include usb cable . you can access all the file store on the unit in this way . apparently , most gp unit only have serial connection and must use proprietary software to upload file . -lrb- I be very happy that I do not have to deal with that on this unit . -rrb- also , the geocach point feature be very nice . I simply use the include software to convert my . gpx file to the . g use by the unit . this let you carry the coordinate , person who place the cache , last find , hint , etc info with you . I think the only thing miss be the `` description '' field . however , I do not know if any gp unit will show that field . in most case , you do not need that field anyway . I have use the unit to log about 20 cache find so far . in any case , I highly recommend this unit . +207 GPS POS 5 I be a confirm Tom Tom user and happen to come across this large screen magellian on Amozon . since the old eye aren `` t what they use to be I be intrigue with the 7 inch screen . well be I in for a surprise . we use this machine to be we guide from south Texas all the way to Hamilton , Ontario . the ease of operation be fantastic , we follow it all the way and do not encounter any difficulty at all . right thru Houston , Baton Rouge Memphis , Nashville and a few other without a mistake . good Job and well do this product be a good buy and deliver as promise . +365 GPS POS 5 this gp be awesome . the only problem I have be that , at least in England , I can not get it to tell I what the speed limit be . it will beep if I be speeding , but it will not show what the limit be . also , sometimes it tell I to go place and guide to the end of a road . probably happen with all gp ' , and I notice with regular update , some of those problem go away . +255 GPS POS 5 vacation in Va beach be great ! my Garmin 1350 do not let we down . take we be we want . save time . make it fun to travel without the frustration of try to get diresction . I would recommend this product unit to anyone . 1350 , portable gp be really amazing . good price for what you get . +149 GPS POS 5 I think I know where I be go and thus disregard Nuvi `` s direction . when I realize I be off track , I finally listen to Nuvi and it get I back on track through some back road which I would never have take if not for the 350 . now I will trust the Nuvi rather than my memory of long ago . +578 GPS POS 5 I have have some reservation after read the worst review -lrb- that it be too big on the wrist , the speed be erratic , it take too long to get the map etc. -rrb- . it be true that it be quite bigger than a watch -lrb- but then who expect a small size ? -rrb- , but the size be not prohibitive . the forerunner pick up map quite quickly -lrb- although I must say that I do try it in a small town with not many tree or big building -rrb- . finally , the speed be always accurate . overall , I find this watch a great exercise tool outdoors . I can not vouch for its software as I do not use this function . one thing be that it be clear the price go down . I pay $ 150 and now it be $ 128 . as with all electronics , the more you wait the less you pay . +820 GPS POS 5 this be the `` correct '' original garmin charger ... there be so many charger on amazon claim to be the original while only this work . I buy and return three of those wrong one . this do look different from what come with my nuvus 260 but work fine . +173 GPS POS 5 although my wife and I drive all over the southern United States for recreation , for some reason I just never see a need for a navigator . I could always get some kind of map off the internet or stop at triple-a and get direction , and once I get close , drive around until I find whatever it be we be look for . sure , sometimes I would drive by the place four time before figure out that be it . sure , I would end up in the wrong part of town at a bad -lrb- dark -rrb- time of day . sure , sometimes we would have to run to catch the start of a concert or to not lose we restaurant reservation . but that be all part of the `` fun '' , right ? not anymore . Garmin Nuvi take care of all that . with update , always current , always correct lifetime map , it always get I where I be go in plenty of time . unlike a map , it not only tell I where we be go , but it give I suggestion and direction , like `` stay right '' or `` take the SECOND exit '' . the programming and operation be easy , with just a little three-page manual to tell you all you need to know to utilize all of the Nuvi 's feature . the big screen be highly readable and understandable . and as far as I can tell so far , as long as you put in the correct address , it know how to get there . I even kind of like the sensible female voice -lrb- someone tell I she nickname be `` terrible Tammy '' - I do not know -rrb- . this unit be desirable because it not only come with lifetime map , it come with all the cord and accessory you need to get it up and run . I have only two small gripe : the map download process be painfully , excruciatingly slow . I know I do not have the fastest computer in the world , but it be not doorstop material yet , either , but the overall software installation , map download , map verification , and load onto the Nuvi take very close to two and a half hour . Make sure you update well in advance of any planned trip . -lrb- I suggest start it at bedtime the night before . -rrb- the other gripe be that the suction cup mount really need to be completely free of dirt and the windshield where you be attach it sparkling clean . any kind of residue on the glass or grit on the suction cup be go to send you Nuvi to the floor , where mine have be four or five time already . even with those two nit , this be a device that exceed my expectation and have make travel more , not less , pleasurable . so I be go to give it the five star it would have deserve if I have a faster computer and a clean car . +529 GPS NEG 2 I buy my 305 a couple of year ago and while the battery be still fine , the watch be no longer functional . of the two other folk I know of who have 305 's , both be also experience the same basic failure - the watch become intermittent and eventually stop work all together . the root of the problem appear to be a couple of thing - the weedy metal contact use between the two watch half tend to get bent out of shape and lose contact and the watch be not particularly water proof . when mine fail , it get intermittent for a couple of run -lrb- would either fail to turn on , or would randomly turn off during the run and could not be power on again -rrb- . poke around online reveal that this be a common problem with the watch so I open it up and attempt to apply the fix suggest -lrb- lightly bend the contact back into place -rrb- . unfortunately , when I open the watch up -lrb- it be just glue together lightly , another bad design choice -rrb- it be clear that water\/sweat have get into the watch and have corrode the interior and the contact . since the contact be so fragile I break a couple of they off try to clean they and bend they back into shape . in all other aspect , it be a nice improvement over the 201 I have before -lrb- which I be back to use now -rrb- . the main reason I have upgrade to the 305 be for the more sensitive receiver since my 201 have a horrible time lock the satellite where I run . if it be not for the poor construction quality , I would heartily recommend it . diff --git a/dev/Gloves.txt b/dev/Gloves.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..adc5163b04d92b1dfce09d20f12cc278509e2341 --- /dev/null +++ b/dev/Gloves.txt @@ -0,0 +1,100 @@ +852 Gloves POS 5 wow !! this product come in 2 day after i buy it !! and i have never see better quality work ... worth the money !!! -lrb- pretty cheap too -rrb- ; -rrb- +760 Gloves POS 4 sometimes weight slip b\/c the glove slip off , but for the most part , it work well at protect my hand and enhance my grip . +946 Gloves POS 4 these glove be great for many purpose , from yardwork to heavy duty project . they do not keep thorn out , though ! +8 Gloves POS 4 although I measure my hand as instruct and order the proper size -lrb- small -rrb- , I would have prefer a smaller glove -lrb- I know my finger be short , but the whole glove seem too large -rrb- .

I be so worried about the grip on the bench I have to use tissue paper just to make sure they will not slip . for glove make for the very purpose of grip , they be just not impressive . they be definitely more comfortable but when you be bench hundred of lb you do not want something that feel great to you skin you wana know that it be not go to slip and these glove just do not do that . +660 Gloves POS 5 I use these glove 5 time a week . go on the 12th week now , still go strong . these glove be on point ! +707 Gloves NEU 3 I purchase my first pair of these glove about five year ago and have purchase two additional pair over the subsequent year , each time because I could no longer sufficiently wash the odor out of the glove , not because the glove be fall apart . I have to say that the pair of glove I just receive -lrb- December 2010 -rrb- seem to be of a lower quality than the previous pair . of most concern be the construction around the velcro closure strap . the issue be that the velcro 's backing be hard , and the way the velcro be cut cause the backing to extend as far as the fabric on the outside of the glove . I be not sure whether that make sense , but the bottom line issue be that once you put these glove on , you 'll feel the sharp edge of the velcro backing cut into you wrist unless you make sure that the velcro strap be pull completely over the top of the other side of the glove . that be easy enough to do now when the glove be new , but I be afraid that once I wash and dry these a few time they 'll be a bit more snug and I will not be able to pull the strap as far over , since every other pair I have have have shrink a little bit due to wash . I do not know whether I get a defective pair or whether this be just how these glove be make now , but I would caution anyone receive a pair of these from Amazon at this time to make sure that if you glove have the same construction problem as mine that you can either live with it or that you save you packaging so you can return the glove to Amazon as defective . -lrb- earlier version of this glove do not have this issue . -rrb- +951 Gloves POS 4 I like this glove I use at least 5 day a week . they run a little small and they need to come in pink or add pink to the black glove +605 Gloves POS 4 I read that the glove run a little small so I purchase a medium . my hand be 5 1\/2 inch long and my left ring finger size be a 4 1\/2 , -lrb- right be a 5 -rrb- so I should have purchase a small or x-small . hopefully this give you a idea what size to buy . the medium be way too big . serve its purpose though ... : -rrb- +542 Gloves NEG 1 these glove rip too easily .

Everlast be ususally a good bet . I have only hear of everlast boxing glove fall apart too early maybe twice over the last 14 year . these be good glove for spare , etc. . I still keep a pair in my bag but I make the switch to a higher price glove a while back and have not pull these out of the bag since . I have go through a few pair of these glove over the year and they be well worth the money . once you go to a higher quality brand you probably will not go back to these , but they get the job do for a good price . I would not recommend they for just hit the bag because they be a bit hard and you risk damaging you wrist . +585 Gloves POS 4 I get they for my boyfriend who start lift , he say they be great . they help with hand pain so he can lift heavier weight and for longer duration . for beginner , I would strongly recommend ! +849 Gloves NEG 1 misleading size and pricing !!!! seller would not exchange ! seller offer 2 xl size which be very small and make to fit a girl , so I give the first pair to my girlfriend . the 2nd xl that I buy for myself\/again , be $ 3 more and be the exact same small size . seller would not exchange the 2nd pair . buyer beware ! +132 Gloves POS 5 Got these for my 7-year old son to have fun with in the pool . they be very cool and they be help he learn to swim better . not sure about the workout piece ... I 'll report back if my son sprout some muscle ! +949 Gloves POS 5 the quality of these thing be pretty good . I have not use they much , but I think people would like em .

I have be work out with these for about 4 month now and have not have a problem . I go two size bigger than I think to be safe . at first they seem a slightly too large ... and I be worry ... but I think the conform to my hand , so now they fit perfectly . -lrb- I be originally think medium , but I go with XL and have be happy . -rrb- +416 Gloves POS 5 I follow other reviewer advice and buy the glove a size larger than normal . they fit great and have a nice amount of padding -lrb- not too much as to be bulky -rrb- for heave lifting . the fact that they be make to be wash means I should have they a long time . I try use they with lift strap but it just didnt feel right , but I think that the case for any lifting glove . anyway I would recommend they to anyone who do a weight lifting program . +739 Gloves POS 4 good work out glove , padding be enough . I get the medium and they tend to fit my mid size hand perfect . they be snug but not too small , the way glove should be . I do not recommend get a size up as some suggest , because they will be lose and the wrist strap will not feel good on you , I try all size before I buy . +537 Gloves NEG 2 glove fit very loose , they do not have velcro tab to tighten the wrist . not heavy duty , very lite duty . do not recommend . +645 Gloves POS 5 great grip and do not leave he sweaty like he last pair . Worth the money ! +908 Gloves POS 5 this be the first time ever leave a review for a product . I work at up and handle over 2,500 package a day & no glove would make it more than a few week they would fall apart from abuse . the glove last except the sticky lining on the palm & finger dont make it over a week . no hole or tear like so many other brand name glove i previously waste money with . long story short excellent glove ! +235 Gloves NEU 3 can not really rate these as I have to send they back because the size chart they give you to go by be not quite accurate & the glove do not fit . I have give they as a gift & since I have to return they & pay the postage on return they I do not order another pair . it be just not a item that can be order on line . as far as the order , I receive it on time & I have no problem return it . +452 Gloves POS 5 I get these for my job as a fork-lifter . they seem good so far , the palm catch much dust but that go with the territory . they be pretty easy to use even with the paperwork . they be warm as well , much better than the pair I get at a auto shop chain one time . plus they have my actual size so I wont have to cut the tip this time . also the color mean nobody can try and steal they hahaha ! oh and they be machine washable . I love these glove . +771 Gloves NEU 3 I be on my third pair of these glove . they wear out very quickly . I swim every other day for forty minute at my local 24 Hour Fitness gym . I rinse my glove out after each time . each pair have start to frazzle within just a couple of month of purchase they . the first pair pretty much disintegrate within 6 month . the pair I be use now be only 4 month old . it start to fall apart about a month and a half ago . presently , the fabric be crack at half way down three of the finger slot ; it be also start to crack at the wrist . the fabric be start to fray badly at the finger tip , too . I be go to have to replace they soon ; otherwise , they 'll start to leave little piece of fabric and string behind every time I swim . also , the wrist strap be not design very well . in order for I to get a good fit on my left hand , I have to adjust the velcro-covered tab so that the strap there fit the wrist correctly . when I do that , the tab stick out way too much , so there be not enough over-lapping velcro to make a solid connection . the velcro then loose its connection and the glove start to come off . I think maybe the strap might stretch too much over time . just as a side note , the glove do seem to fit well , so I do not think that a misfitting contribute to the problem . I do not think the glove be fall apart due to extra stress place on they by have to stretch the fabric too much to cover hand too big for they . the fitting seem correct . it be just the construction quality be rather poor . +344 Gloves POS 5 I love it !!!! havent wear they yet wait for it to warm up some then I will put they to the test ... +422 Gloves POS 5 a very good quality glove . I have work through a few pair now but they be a very good glove . it seem though the size be get smaller . I buy a few 2xl 's year ago and the new one be tight . I do not think I have put on much weight on my finger but they seem smaller . +415 Gloves POS 5 these glove be so comfortable sometimes i forget i be wear they . i use they for work and for weight lifting . they be pad on the palm side as well as lightly pad on the backhand side . i work at a door and door hardware shop and the palm side be durable enough to survive lifting door and hardware every day for over 9 month before finally tear a hole in the palmside -lrb- which should be note the tear actually occur near the base of the thumb where there be no leather , so for lift just plain weight they should last pretty much forever . -rrb- not much wrist support in these glove if you be the type that need it however , i do believe that harbinger make a similar one with the wrap around wrist support . +363 Gloves POS 4 I figure I would be a medium hand , but it seem a large would have fit I better . the glvo be tight around the finger crease , but that be only to my unknowing of the glove size ; one of the downside of buy online . other then that , trhey be good glove , and feel great ! +810 Gloves POS 5 I receive what I expect in expect time . I have be use they since two week have not have any problem yet . overall it be a good product . I would surely recommend it . +144 Gloves POS 4 Great for hit a bag . solidly make . padding be spread out a bit so you can really feel the punch , I would probably look for something a bit more padded for spar though . +207 Gloves POS 5 the exercise glove be deliver on time and in perfect condition . the entire transaction be perfect from start to finish . +365 Gloves POS 5 I get my dad these glove for Christmas and he love they . he do a lot of carpentry and could not stop talk about how good these glove be ! he immediately ask I where i get they from so he could buy another pair , just so he 'll have they . be sure the read the other review in the other size . +255 Gloves POS 4 this be a excellent boxing glove for beginner . comfortable , lightweight and rugged exterior , perfect for someone who be want a kick-ass workout . +149 Gloves NEG 2 I work for a large airfreight handle company at lax and I work right on the ramp . 99 % of the time I wear shorts and a hoodie and no glove , but from time to time it get really cold . I read about ironclad glove while do research for glove here . First off they be not waterproof at all . California recently come out from the worst rainstorm we have have in a decade , it rain all week and I have these glove on and my hand get soak every day . I would say they be water resistant but for waterproof that be complete crap . as for wind resistance , I think they live up to the claim . the last 2 night it have be in the 50 's and my hand feel way better with the glove on than off . as for warmth , that be a toss up . like i say above the glove cut wind , as for warmth my hand be warmer than not have glove at all , but not toasty warm like with mitten . I be research get a glove liner to wear underneath . other thing : xxl be HUGE , I think I have big hand , i be 6 ' 3 '' and the glove do not really fit I well . I would say next time I will get a smaller size but i think i be do with ironclad , this be my 2nd pair . +578 Gloves POS 4 these be great sparring glove , and just as state , they promote good punching technique . I would prefer if the strap stretch for a tighter fit though . I only use these for spar ; I have a separate pair for the bag . for that I would say I like the Everlast Advanced MMA glove a little better but these do the trick . +820 Gloves POS 5 what can you say !!! when my wife like something it be gotta be the best . the gauntlet keep all the wind from blow thru she wrist . the fit be true . and the price !!!! these glove be half the price of competitor . thanks Jafrum for make they available and thanks Amazon for the amazing way you do business . +173 Gloves NEG 2 the first day i use these I be hang drywall with screw . about 2 hour into it the DuraClad on the thumb and index finger of the left glove be wear through -lrb- something that do not happen with good leather glove -rrb- and the seam be come apart . so , I wrap 'em with duct tape and that do the trick . i like the velcro at the wrist and the fit be good for my hand , but I doubt I 'll buy 'em again . I can buy three pair of good leather glove at Costco for less than one pair of these , i.e. more glove-life for the money witout the hassle . if they get the price point down maybe I would buy again . use several layer of duct tape and glue down the various piece of DuraClad as soon as they start come off , the glove last about a month and a half . maybe it should be not-very-durable-duraclad . I guess for lighter duty they have work well , but not for remodel work I put 'em through . +529 Gloves POS 5 these glove be great . they fit really well . my finger can move completely freely as if they be a second skin . and they be durable . I use they for everything and highly recommend they . diff --git a/dev/GraphicsCard.txt b/dev/GraphicsCard.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..218b878dd4230add37a7bf4359afac4b79c349ff --- /dev/null +++ b/dev/GraphicsCard.txt @@ -0,0 +1,100 @@ +852 GraphicsCard NEG 2 I know it be not RTM yet , but if you be look to use this on Windows 8 , I would wait .

I finally decide to give this product a try base on review all over the web , and on the tech spec , specially the fact that it have 3 gb RAM and the rebate -lrb- from $ 726 to $ 560 ! -rrb- . it run like a dream . the GPU automatically control frequency , voltage , and fan . you can override the default setting and configure the performance to you need . it be very easy to over clock -lrb- another reason why I buy this gpu -rrb- . I do recommend to get the latest driver and software from the web . the one that come in the box , may present some incompatibility issue or just simply not work 100 % . I still plan to buy the gtx 680 , but will wait until the next batch come out . in the mean time this GPU will more than do . I 'll probably stick to this GPU and buy a second one to use in SLI on my secondary pc just for the fun of it . I highly recommend any one to buy this CPU if you be really interested . if you like extreme overclocking , you have the option of buy the liquid cooling upgrade , available from EVGA . I be a fan of EVGA , so all the GPU 's I have buy be this brand . fortunately I have never have any problem with evga product . I give it 9 out of 10 just because I could not adjust the voltage for overclocking : - -lrb- over all I think this be a great alternative for those who want a top range GPU for a very affordable price tag . +946 GraphicsCard POS 5 I keep watch for THIS MODEL NUMBER GRAPHICS CARD to come into stock , DUE to the initial shortage in MANUFACTURING . one NIGHT ABOUT 10 PM PST , THERE IT WAS in STOCK , ON SALE , AT A great price to boot . I receive it very quickly via UPS and HOOKED IT up and had it run in no time at all . what a great graphic card , one of the best on the market at THIS PRESENT TIME . thank you ` AMAZON.COM ' for get stock on THESE . I have total trust in all my purchase from AMAZON !!! +8 GraphicsCard POS 5 the card have be great , no more driver crash in window like my gtx 460 be have . have always have good luck with evga . a little overpriced , but you be future proof with the newer connector come out in the future . I pay 289.00 and it drop to 269.00 the day after I recieve it . only a three year warranty on this one , but I know this . +61 GraphicsCard POS 4 while try to breath a little extra life into a under-used 6-year-old , I discover Intel be not offer Windows 7 driver for the old board . I would increase the RAM and even up-grade the cpu . it only have pcus slot , so that narrow my choice , but EVGA come thru . after panice because it do not seem to be work , Windows 7 driver have to be download from evga or nvidea . that do , and after install the card I have to go into bio and swith it from the onboard to the PCI slot . a couple of minute later it finish and have restart . it work great ! I be not a gamer so I be not too worried about it be high end performance . it just get use for basic web surfing and this , that and the other thing like Netflix and my bedroom tv . the only reason it do not get 5 star be that it be not free and there be no paper instruction . they be on the CD and it be not too easy to read if you do not have the correct video install yet . other than that , I would recommend it to anybody try to keep the `` old stuff '' work . +718 GraphicsCard POS 5 if you need to get a few more year out of that old computer and all you have be PCI port , this be the card to get . we upgrade several of we old Dell dimension computer and now they be all able to run Windows 7 pro . not great for graphic intensive program or game , but if you just need office and ie this be just what you need . Worth the money ! +9 GraphicsCard POS 5 after do many reaserch , I buy this Sapphire 6870 1gb 256bit video card at the price $ 169 . because I do not have too many video or graphic job to do , it run fast and cool so far . the $ 20 rebate be process . +79 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be a great video card . Plays all game on max setting without even break a sweat . the 670 gtx 's be out and about in full force , but if you can swing a few more dollar to get this , I would . I be not say anything bad about the 670 's ... they be a good chip . and the 690 gtx 's be a dream . WOW . I have be a pc gamer since the early 90 's and this card will be great for I , for the foreseeable future . happy gaming all . +441 GraphicsCard POS 4 + 's : run cool in my friend rig -lrb- 13 degree Celsius lower than a 4770 -rrb- relatively quiet even under load not a power hog seem to like dx11 - 's : a hd 6850 can beat it in almost anything that be not dx11 a lot of game be not dx11 as of yet other thought : I research this card pretty extensively go in and know how it fare against other amd\/ati card in the $ 100-150 range ... namely the hd 6850\/70 . the 7 \*\*\* mark the first significant change in architecture for amd\/ati and while it perform great on modern\/dx11 game it tend to drag a bit on older\/dx9\/dx10 title . if you look at pure calculation base bench it fare much better . whether future driver even the field out or not remain to be see , but for the price , I be willing to hedge my bet towards the newer technology over the established performance of last generation . +881 GraphicsCard POS 5 my wife be unable to watch espn3 's live streaming video on she Dell 2400 with on board video and a 22 inch monitor . I replace the motherboard with a Dell 4600 motherboard which have a 8x agp slot . the card install easily and perform well at the recommend monitor resolution 1680 x 1050 . the difference in the quality of the video be incredible . it perform well for the purpose of watch live streaming video . we do not do any gaming so this card suit we need perfectly . I be use a Dell 250 watt power supply with 14 amp on the 12 volt rail with no problem . the card run cool and quite with the on board heat sink . I also test this card with a older computer with a 4x agp slot and work well in that computer as well . I can highly recommend this card for any one who want to upgrade they on board video in a older computer . it be a great card for the money . +515 GraphicsCard NEG 1 DOA ! the web site do not even have the product that I purchase . no rma support on the web site . I will not buy force3d graphic card in the future . +592 GraphicsCard NEU 3 this video card come with my HP Pavillion Elite . this be now the end of the third video card in about 5 year . under warranty HP replace the previous 2 card with the same model . cool fan wear out in 1.5 to 2 year and get noisy . yes , it be very quiet when new . now it whine constantly . now since it be not under warranty , I will go with something else . I be try a evga geoforce 8200 with double the memory and cost less and have the same port as the hd4350 . this hd4350 be a decent video card , but not that durable . now I can finally get video card that can handle the kid 's Skyrim game at a decent framerate . +434 GraphicsCard NEG 1 pro : - inexpensive htpc card . - have win7 driver -lrb- though might be rough install -rrb- . - have a HDMI Port . - claim to be support . - come in a small box . con : go from Aero Windows experience index of 4.1 to that of 3.7 when swap in this card . the previous card be a 3 + year old atus x1300 . how be that possible ? driver install require patience , and a few crash . suggest buy NVidia . other thought : bought hd4350card to replace a still good htpc graphic card that ATI no longer support under Windows 7 : be run a Dell P-Duo as a htpc for more than a few year , just fine , with a ATI x1300 graphic card . upgrade to Windows 7 for 7MC , and start have video source switching issue , fix require a new Video card . ATI decide stop support a old product , fine . but the new product benchmark -lrb- artifical or not -rrb- worse ? three year later ?!? ridiculous . ati\/amd have alienate yet another customer . +216 GraphicsCard POS 5 use winxp , this card operate flawlessly . I have be use Boxee to sort and play video on my old FIC SAMBA 1845GV computer . in winxp , hd video processing can be offload to the GeForce use a codec pack and compatible player . I be now use the latest beta driver from Nvidia , and planning on try win7 that allow dxva -lrb- built-in video hardware acceleration -rrb- . I would recommend this card to anyone that do no have a pcie or agp slot and want to view hd video . +660 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy this because I have trouble get the on-board Intel video to operate reliably . this card work without any problem on Ubuntu 12.4 +707 GraphicsCard POS 5 if this card be back order , RESERVE IT . I have be use it since the middle of October 2011 . use Windows 7 pro . run everything I throw at it , flawlessly , with setting max . Crysis 1 & 2 , FarCry 2 , just cause 2 , and Skyrim . I have have no trouble at all on YouTube . I do not have a heating problem with this card , but I have a large case with large fan , this card be rather quiet . card be extremely stable , and well worth the price . you want the BEST , you pay for it . my System Specs : CPU i7-990x -lrb- overclocked to 4.4 -rrb- Zalman CNPS9900LED CPU Cooler 24GB G. Skill Ripjaws X Series DDR3 Asus P6X58D-E Mobo GTX 590 , this card 240gb Sata III Kingston HyperX SSD Thermaltake Level 10 gt Tower w\/Lian Li Metal Casters +951 GraphicsCard POS 5 just put together a new rig , and this guy right here be a monster . good ol' Windows 7 give it a 7.9 out of 7.9 on its benchmark , and after play Diablo 3 and tf2 ; I can confirm its brilliance . tf2 be truly max -lrb- very high on every option available , 8xaa -rrb- and I see color variation and detail I simply do not see before on my last rig . the story remain the same with diablo 3 , while it may be more cpu-intensive , the explosion and particle effect be simply brilliant with a stunning frame rate . for temperature reference , I have this case : nzxt phantom 410 Mid Tower usb 3.0 gaming case - White when play at the limit with max clock speed and aa be use , I have see it max out at 59 degress with 44 % fan activity on the card itself . one quick note -- it be a monster in its physical size as well , be sure to have a large case ! I have already hear of people not be prepare and cut out portion of they case to accomodate this refined beast -lrb- ouch -rrb- . I hear Asus 's driver can cause compatibility issue so I do not install they , but instead go with the generic driver from AMD , and it work perfectly . the main thing I love about this card versus other brand during my research be how much Asus put into the cooling design . it be not obnoxious , it look great cosmetically , and do its job phenomenally . overall , it be complete overkill for virtually any application out there , but AMD 's driver allow the card to do anything from watch Youtube video with perfect frame rate -- to render you own much faster with they transcoding compatibility . I would buy this card again in a heartbeat with all its capability , the pci-e 3.0 connection allow you to link multiple of these badass together at absurd datum transfer speed ; so if in 3 year there be actually a game that challenge this card , throw in another one of these right next to it ! thanks for reading , and I hope this review help ! +605 GraphicsCard POS 5 skyrim look amazing . I be run it on high quality , and the fp never dip below 20 . it be gorgeous . I will not need another card for year . maybe i will flash this to the 400 dollar 6970 . +542 GraphicsCard POS 5 buy this card a few day ago and it be work flawlessly . I replace a two year old Sapphire Radeon hd4870 which could not handle dx11 game to my liking . this card have exceed my expectation so far . couple quick tip when do any card installation . download the latest driver for you new card prior to uninstall the old card . I then remove my old driver prior to install the new card . I also remove any special software the old card come with . put the new card in , clean out the case while I as at it , and boot up . install the new driver , restart , and be good to go . +7 GraphicsCard POS 5 Make sure you have both monitor hook up - I do not and could not complete setup until I do . I have a old clunker w3050 e-machine and can now stream netflix to my 42 inch flat screen ! that be all I want . what be really cool be I can hold the mouse down and move anything I be do from screen to screen . I can play Farmville on my 42 inch if I want . I would have have it hook up in no time but I do not have both the tv and the monitor hook up . I figure I would do that after I get it work . I could not get it work until I hook both up and restart my pc . so do it that way and do not sit and cuss for 3 hour like I do . also-i wish I would have know that older computer have different slot ! GOOGLE you computer and make sure you know what kind of slot you have ! older one have only PCI . if you be newer it may have pci-e this be a agp . if you do not know what I be talk about then you , be a idiot like I ! that why I have a $ 50 dollar pci-e card sit here collect dust ! Know you slot and do not try fitting a round peg into a square hole ! this card work perfect if you have the slot for it . +285 GraphicsCard POS 5 my requirement be to find a card that natively support mini-displayport output . this be why I choose to go with a Radeon make card rather than NVidia . not many single-gpu nvidium card have this option , and those that do require a display port to mini-display port adapter . I currently use a 27 '' iMac as my monitor -lrb- connect to my gaming pc via display port -rrb- . it run SWTOR beautifully at 2560x1440 , often peak at 112 fp at max setting . I replace a 6970 with this card , as the 6970 I have receive be defective . I be glad I do , as the performance be phenomenal . +225 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be a great video card . I be very pleased with it and would recommend it to anyone who need a card for gaming +470 GraphicsCard POS 5 I want to connect a extra monitor to my computer at work , but its graphic capability be not good enough . this thing allow I to connect the monitor without a problem . the refresh rate be kind of low and the monitor be a bit laggy , but since I use the monitor for read email and other static content it do not really matter . I just order another so I can connect a third monitor to my pc ... since these thing scale up to five I might be buy even more ! +763 GraphicsCard NEU 3 the first card Amazon send be difficult to make it through a complete boot without receive a blue screen . even once the system be up and run it might be minute or it might be hour but never fail the computer have a hard time go more than a day without hang at a blue screen . Amazon make it easy to request a replacement through they website and within 48 hour of give up on the first unit I have a new one at my door step with a prepaid return label to return the original . the new unit seem to be function much better than the original and though it have give I maybe 2 blue screen early on in the week it have be install but otherwise it have run well with 24 hour a day operation . the two time it have crash since install it be two more time than I would like but be a vast improvement over the original unit and it have currently be run continuously for a few day without issue . this be buy as a replacement for my aging pny 9800 GTX + and performance be a vast improvement over the old card . installation be easy and while I be not able to use a simple flip of the bio switch to increase the shader count -lrb- a quick opening of the bio backup show that it do indeed change to the second bio which have the set to unlock the extra shader present , the card itself just ignore the setting and will not use the extra shader -rrb- this be more of a slight disapointment than a deal breaker . other than the initial issue the card seem to be run and perform solid . I will continue run the card and report back if I have any additional issue . +137 GraphicsCard POS 5 my brother in law receive this card to be able to run he Autocad 2010 , accord to he -lrb- seem slow to I -rrb- he application be run much faster increase the overall system performance , we have not try it why any video game . +670 GraphicsCard NEG 2 the card work flawlessly for long period of time but during long session of 3d gameplay , it eventually start show the screen in the wrong color -lrb- mostly pink -rrb- and the screen flash black intermittently . this be the second of this exact card that I have get after return the first one to Amazon . manually increase the card fan speed to a where the noise start to get noticeable make the problem happen less often and underclocking by 50 mhz seem to have fix it . I be think about return it as soon as a figure out what alternative I have . +299 GraphicsCard NEG 2 DX 11 look great !! this be a quiet card . have a great cooler . there be no second bios\/switch , as of this time there be no bio to unlock the Extra shader . con : do not have 2 duel link DVI one be single link DVI my 30 '' have to be plug into a specific dl-dvi to work and the 24 '' in the second sl-dvi to see the right resolution . launch bfbc2 blank my second lcd unless you turn off AERO this card burn up in 7 day . new 1 on order , just play 'n bfbc2 , dirt3 and normal use . this do not last long ? second card burn up in 2 day . no oc just bfbc2 , dirt3 and movie , watch temp they be fine. , could be a bad power profile in there bio from some review I have read on line , or a flow problem on the GPU solder . hate to do it but go to try the he . I love sapphire product just upgrade from my 4870 x2 . I be 98 % sure I do nothing to make this card go bad . a new video card should be easy I do not understand why there be trouble . to be more clear when I say burn up I be get small checker board pattern corruption in the center band of high end video game 1\/3 of the area specific to the middle . top and bottom be clear . first card go all area same pattern . if Sapphire read this or some one see 's a solution please reply . I get my new he 6950 iceqx and it work fine no problem at all this lead I to believe there be a bio issue or a random hardware incompatibility . I do use the second\/alternate rail for the video power this time just in case it be the power but I do not see how I could go from a work 4870 x2 and have a power issue on a new 6950 .

I have this HP DC5100 small form factor computer with pentium 4 3 GHz HT processor , 3 gb ram , and 40 gig hardrive . I recently install Windows Vista Ultimate which run good on it except for the on board video which would not let I run the Windows Aero and some other program like Windows dvd maker . I figure I would upgrade the video card for when my daughter would visit so they would have a decent computer to use . the video card install with no problem as long as you follow the instruction like disable the on board video first in bio and then install the card and then install the new driver in safe mode . the card do come with small profile kit so I can not understand why Amazon have a small profile kit that it tell you to buy with it . well , I waist my money on that ! well , not to much because the kit be only $ 6.95 well all and all the card work good with what I need . I would recommend the card if all you be look for be just run Windows Vista . I be not sure how it work for gaming because I be not in to that note : I run the base score again and it raise my score from a 1.9 to a 2.6 which be a shock . I think it would of be higher because the only thing I be lack be a video card from what it tell I . Windows Aero 2.6 and 3d business and gaming graphic be 3.9 +153 GraphicsCard POS 4 put this on a older machine with original PCI port . AKA AGP . it be pretty much the best you can get for a agp card . it be a tad pricy consider performance . but I have get it to run Oblivion , Fallout 3 , Half-Life 2 and a few more . worth it really . +479 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy this card a few month ago to replace my very-much aging Radeon 4890 . this be my first nVidia card since my GeForce 5700 Ultra , and I do not regret it . it provide most of what the gtx 680 offer , but at a savings of a few hundred dollar -lrb- at the time I purchase -rrb- . this edition come overclock from the factory and come with 4 gb of VRAM , make this gap even smaller performance-wise . the large amount of VRAM also help future-proof the card , as I intend to keep this card for a few year at least . so far it be easily handle anything I have throw at it , and I have no complaint . it be possible to max out the anti-aliasing and throw a few additional monitor on you computer to see some impact in performance , of course , but for a single video card setup I think it scale very well . I can not speak to the slus performance . I have no reason to believe it do not work well . I use this card in Windows 8 . no issue as of yet . the latest driver -lrb- and beta driver -rrb- support 8 fully . let I know if anyone have any question and I would be glad to answer if I can . some spec : Intel Core i7 IB 3770K -lrb- run at stock 3.5-3 .9 ghz -rrb- 8 gb ddr3 RAM 120 GB SSD , 128 gb ssd , 1 gb hdd , 2 gb hdd Windows 8 pro n +56 GraphicsCard POS 4 it be absolutely awesome ! only one thing to take care about , driver . if you want to run battlefield 3 , you will face problem . but except that , this video card be fantastic . +59 GraphicsCard NEG 1 the packaging for this say that it be Windows xp compatible . but it be not ! no driver exist anywhere that will run this card on xp . the installation cd even say `` Windows xp '' on the label . but when you try to install the driver , you get the error message `` driver be not compatible with this os '' . ASUS usually do well with they driver , support , and documentation , which be the main reason I choose this product . but they really drop the ball this time . this may be a great graphic card for Windows 7 or Vista , but I will never find out . I be return it to Amazon tomorrow . +284 GraphicsCard POS 5 most likely the best graphic card money can buy . theyre quiet , fast , and I can run wow on ultra and get 150 fp and up +889 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card be absolutely amazing . blow away everything I can throw at it . I have notice some people have not be able to unlock the shader for the 6970 but I have not come across that problem . I just flick the bio switch on the card and bam ! extra shader core unlock ! +736 GraphicsCard POS 4 I need a video card up grade for a old dell 4600 . . without spend a lot of money in a power supply . so after do a little research on the net I find this card ... yeah it be old . . but I have a Dell 4600 ... so here you go ... I install 32 win 7 and want the Areo feature in full use ... snap , transparency and color ... so for under $ 50 this video card be the answer , besides I be not go to get any more out of this rig with a p4 2.4 hz behind the wheel , so it would pointless to spend any more tan 50 . pro : win 7 instantly recognize the new hardware and install driver . Video performance increase when streaming Netflix or you tube I can play hd at 720 ... but it be a little choppy -lrb- could be the p4 cause this -rrb- I can take full effect of the Media center fro streaming tv show basic 3-d game work well con : none it work +697 GraphicsCard NEU 3 i buy this card as upgrade for xp sp3 . needless to say issue after insert into system , -lrb- agp -rrb- card . with the card , pc will hang in safe mode , and if a older system -lrb- mine gigabyte with nvidium chip -rrb- nvdium \/ evga driver will reprogram you mcp and break on board audio for good . Make sure to uninstall high fidelity audio driver . I go round and round on this try to fix both issue . I read with latest driver -lrb- nvidium -rrb- it break the audio in favor of the reprogram . apparently not enough space . anyway many experience these same issue without fix . my best solution be to buy a pcus sound card for like $ 9 -lrb- startech -rrb- and install they driver over the top . now all sound work again . evga support post be worthless . consider stick with previous version of evga . nvidium driver set for you own good . get better resultion when run the nvdium utility . not a bad card , but i be still stump over the hand in safe mode . I +904 GraphicsCard NEU 3 update 7\/21\/2012 \*\* I be play battlefield today and all of a sudden the screen be black but I could still hear the game . I try CTRL+ALT+DELETE and nothing pop up . only way to get out of it be a hard reboot . it start do this to my other game as well and it do not happen when I browse the internet . it could be the driver , but I rma 'd it anyway and hope the next one do not do the same thing . I just install my 7850 on 7\/14\/12 and it run great ! I download the AMD driver from the amd website as well as the Asus GPU Tweak to overclock it . I clock it to 1050 MHz and the temp be 32 degree Celsius on idle and about 41-45 on game like battlefield 3 . this card be able to play all of the latest game on high-maximum setting out of the box . I use my old VGA monitor and use the supply adapter that plug the vga into the DVI slot in the 7850 . I do not have a hdmus monitor yet , but soon I will so I 'll keep you update if there be anything wrong with the hdmus slot that some of the review be talk about . +549 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card use gtx 680 reference pcb and cooling . which be a whole lot better than 670 reference design . this design blow air out of the back -lrb- compare to Asus TOP which blow it in the case -rrb- so if you case do not have good airflow , this card be great for it . evga also have very good rma policy . 3 year warranty standard and good customer service . +814 GraphicsCard POS 5 just before purchasing of a new card I do a extensive search on forum and review site to find a card that will get I through another 3 year of gaming . previous experience tell I that new card should be in $ 300 - $ 400 range . cheaper stuff get outdate too fast and more expensive card might buy you some extra fp today , but when the technology leap again they will become as obsolete . I do not believe in sling in the future , but I be consider get two 1gb 6850s to flash they to 6870 and put in x-fire today . similar money , similar or better performance in some game . but at the end I have decide to stay with one evga 560 card - less heat , less noise , easier to install , no need to worry about scale and 20 % more effective memory , which might come handy in 1080p . 2gb 6850 be also a valid competitor , especially with good cooling to overclock , and with dual bio switch to up it to 6870 -lrb- not all model can do that -rrb- . for multi-monitor or 1080p + resolution atus would be the clear choice with 2gb of memory , but for 1080p resolution I have stay with 560 - slightly cheaper , better performance out of the box , physx support . so the real contender here be gtx560 TI Classified _ ULTRA _ . Standard model be base on gtx 480 pcb , Ultra be base on 580 pcb . Standard model have open dual fan heatsink , Ultra have single fan exhaust , which be also slimmer . the later will not cool the card as good , BUT it take the hot air out of the case . if you have tight case or plan to SLI - get ultra card . if you only use one card and have good air flow in you case - standard classy would be a better solution - it be cheaper and easier to cool . let I reiterate - gtx560tus classify blow air towards PCB and exhaust it back into the case . if you leave it alone , the hot air will rise and get suck back into the card start a overheating cycle . each case be different , but what I find the best in my lian-li mid tower be to revert the fan on top , so it blow inside , install the card as close to it as possible and use ventilate pcus slot cover . this way I create positive pressure in the case , which be always good anyway , get additional air flow direct at the card and push the hot air outside through the back . the result be artifact free 920mhz core , 2200MHz memory and 40\/70c operating temperature with -lrb- 50 % fan speed . that be what I call a good value ! +835 GraphicsCard NEU 3 card be ok but as other say it do not compare to other card with even less memory . could not run the latest game on higher than medium graphic without glich out . end up get a new card and give this one to a guy at work for he little brother computer . if you be not play higher end graphic game should be fine . otherwise spend the extra $ 20 and get something else . +513 GraphicsCard POS 5 I be not interested in write a review because it be say the same over and over again . it be a great card , period . and for the price , a total win . great temp too ... what drive I to write this review be that i want to clarify one thing . the dirt3 promo be still valid , the card paper say it expire on December 31 , 2011 ... but if you go to AMD site you 'll see it be extend through march 31 , 2012 ... the redeem process be fast , i get the email with the steam key within a minute ... +401 GraphicsCard NEG 1 after install the catalyst control center and set the gpu and memory clock to the max -lrb- with software that come with the card -rrb- I get multiple blue screen with he card . DO NOT BUY !!!!!!!! I would rate 0 star if possible . +436 GraphicsCard POS 5 this GPU be amazingly fast and incredibly well do . I would want to build a new pc for gaming and consider get the gtx680 , but the price-to-performance point be with the 670 . in all honesty , I would have get the gtx 670 ftw -lrb- for the win -rrb- version , but it be out of stock on Amazon , so I opt for the 4gb card . most game be not go to take advantage of the 4gb of memory unless you be run in SLI and run with multiple -lrb- 3 + -rrb- monitor . even if you be just run one card , the 670 be the perfect price point for performance \/ $ $ . the card can run a bit hot -lrb- 73oc -rrb- when run something like bf3 max out at 1920x1200 , but cool down quickly when you be out of game . stay very cool -lrb- 35oc -rrb- when idle or do basic browsing , email , etc. . +330 GraphicsCard POS 4 buy this in order to work with my 3d design software . Works good enough . the only problem I have with it be attach the card to the pci-e slot , where in my miditower there be not a lot of space for it to fit be quite a long card . I actualy have to detach one sata cable to make space . so look for the dimension of the card and make sure you have enough space to fit it in . +113 GraphicsCard POS 4 I be blow away by the performance of the card . it also hit 73c when under heavy load which be good for I and my high ambient temperature -lrb- that be also on latest driver which cause overheating -rrb- . I have purchase evga in the past and will continue to do so until I find a good reason not to . one thing that should be say be that in order to take full advantage of the excellent evga warranty you must register on they website within 30 day of purchase . the website registration can be painful due to e-mail issue and if you have already install you card you have to pull the serial off of it . the free downloadable copy of Batman do not come with the game nor be there any coupon or mention of how to redeem it . I be not sure if Amazon or EVGA be responsible for provide that but I will find out . test with : bfbc2 , Deus ex 3 , World of Warcraft , civilization V. +313 GraphicsCard POS 5 very happy , I be one of the lucky people as mine work right out of the box without any problem with the advertised clock , I do not install the asus software though , only the latest Nvidia driver , it be soo fast and cool while gaming , and the most important thing to I be that it be do it silently , 5 star from I PS : I buy it a while back `` June 1 to be exact '' I do not have the chance to try it until three day ago . asus GeForce GTX 670-DC2T-2GD5 VGA - 1137 MHz Boost clock - 2gb gddr5 - GPU Tweak - pcie 3.0 Graphics Card Graphics Cards gtx670-dc2t-2gd5 +140 GraphicsCard POS 4 this card can run Max Payne 3 on full detail -lrb- dx11 mode -rrb- @ 1600 x 900 at a solid 45 + FPS . \* note \* can not run higher resolution because game limit graphic by amount of memory on card .

I be happy with it and will be order a 2nd one in a few week . the best card you can get for under $ 130 . my system spec : CPU : AMD Phenom II x4 965 @ 4.31 ghz -lrb- 15.5 multiplier x 278 FSB @ 1.495 v -rrb- Ram : 8gb Kingston HyperX ddr2 1066 @ 1112 Mhz Mobo : asrock a770de + CPU Cooler : Cooler Master Hyper 212 + -lrb- push\/pull -rrb- case : NZXT Gamma Classic PSU : Seasonic X560 GPU : saphire 7770 @ 1175 Mhz Core \/ 1535 Mhz memory -lrb- 6140 Mhz effective -rrb- +419 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I be rating this low not because of the performance of the card but because the active Mini Display Port to DVI adapter be miss . this be the most expensive adapter that be suppose to be include . +248 GraphicsCard POS 5 I upgraded\/switched over from a ATI HD 5770 because it simply be not cut it anymore , graphically speak . my friend also order a graphic card 2 day after . -lrb- MSI Computer Video Card - n560gtx TI TWIN FROZR II 2GD5 OC everybody know that the msus 560 Ti Twin Frozr II be one heck of a GPU , but guess what ? this card smoke he by 15-20 % minimum . he be so mad that he do not listen to I and get this 448 core mack daddy ... lol I be a big AMD fan for many year , but the whole driver support situation with they be just ridiculous . there be so many problem with so many different game that I just could not take it anymore . I research this purchase religiously for over 2 week before I make my decision . I be go to get the exact same card as my friend , but 2 day before my purchase I read about the release of this product . after I learn the difference and do some cost\/benefit analysis , this be the clear winner . pro : 1 . this card only run 5-8 % slower than a 570 . for it to be call a `` 560 ti '' be nothing short of a marketing campaign , because it literally have nothing in common with that card . these be the same chip that the 570 's and 580 's use . the 560 's be a totally different chip design . 2 . this card have 448 CUDA core -lrb- shader -rrb- vs the 560 Ti 's 384 . the 570 be nothing more than a 580 with one cluster lance off , this card be a 570 with another one lance off . it be a new card , but it be base on a win and highly performance orient design . plus , for the 560 ti to achieve the performance that it do , Nvidia have already overclock the heck out of it . there be not a lot of room for overclock it . 3 . for those of you who be not into the overclock scene or who simply wish to do no harm to you GPU , it come factory overclock by the most excellent people over at EVGA . they honestly have the best customer service I have ever deal with . with a 3 year warranty , excellent customer service , and a step up plan for down the line , you can not beat evga . 4 . price . this be the best value for a 560 ti 448 that you be go to find . this be right at msrp . and if you want to step up to a 570 , they be up to 340 now !!! you get 5 % less for 20 % less than a 570 ! con : 1 . these card be pretty much just card that could not cut it as either a 570 or 580 . for whatever reason they be reject that be go to get toss if Nvidia could not find a use . after they accumulate a quantity of the `` reject '' they think up this `` limited edition '' idea . the default voltage be one indicator this be exactly what happen . my default voltage be 1.013 . I get on the EVGA forum , and voltage range from 1.000 to 1.075 default !!! if that be not the definition of a binned product then what be !!!??? do not get I wrong , these card be put through rigorous quality testing before they make it to you . this be a good product inspire by bad one ... lol 2 . although this card have 1280mb of VRAM , it still be not the 2gb that other card offer . Games be already hit upward of this limit , so be conscious of this if you like play on ULTRA setting ! 3 . this be supposedly a `` limited edition '' release . if you be plan on add another card in the future , you better get it now or do without . another 560 ti that be not a 448 will not work in SLI with THIS CARD . that severely limit upgrade potential in the future !! 4 . as far as support\/drivers be concern , this be a brand new product . there be only 2 driver that will work with it right now , 1 be a beta , and they both SUCK !!! the driver on the disc give I way less performance than the beta do , but the beta have all kind of little `` beta-like '' bug . so far so good with this product . honestly , the performance be more than I be expect . I order my card within 5min of they available for purchase here on Amazon . there be not near the review that there be now . I be pleasantly surprise at how well they be overclock . on stock voltage\/fan it be stable at 930 core \/ 1860 shader \/ 2250 memory at 1.013 v. the highest I have overclock with raise voltage be 1050 core \/ 2100 shader \/ 2550 memory at 1.063 v. it have give I almost 20 % bump in performance over the factory overclock . not too bad !!! basically I have only be limit by the head the add voltage add ! I be happy as a pig in crap !!! buy this card , or you will end up with a overprice or inferior product . best deal in town ! +920 GraphicsCard POS 5 had this card for over a week . I get saw about 8 month ago and couldnt play i didnt know why , then I get dragon age and a video card error come up , so i buy this and now all my game work flawlessly with great detail and speed , best buy I ever make . price be awesome , Dell want $ 118 for the same thing . +102 GraphicsCard POS 5 pro : + can handle every game throw at it and still be able to run at a decent fp , even at stock . + able to have a stable overclock to 1250\/1450 . + nice and quiet . + come with lot of extra cable and adapter . con : - update version of Sapphire TrixX be not out yet so sometimes the OC for it glitch out . temp be around 26c at idle and around 48c at full load . do I have any buyer remorse with the keplar card come out ?? hell nah !! I be perfectly happy with the performance of this card !! +778 GraphicsCard POS 5 the onboard graphic card on my old Dell Dimension e521 have only a VGA graphic port . when I decide to set up dual display -lrb- a monitor and a projector -rrb- , I go with this graphic card , which will support dual -lrb- possibly three monitor -rrb- monitor . its low price -lrb- 35 when I buy it -rrb- and the positive review be what clinch it for I . the installation of the card be easy . I simply insert it in the PCI slot of the computer , hook up the cable , fire up the computer , install the driver on the CD -- and it be work . I be also pleasantly surprise that it improve performance on my Photoshop CS5 very noticeably . dual Monitor support -------------------- this card have 3 graphic port : hdmus , DVI , and VGA . so , you could conceivably set up 3 monitor with it . I use the DVI connection for my monitor and the VGA on my projector -lrb- which have neither DVI or HDMI connector -rrb- . with the VGA connection I do run into a problem with `` ghost '' on my projector display . as a workaround , I run a hdmus cable from the HDMI port to a `` hdmus to VGA Converter , '' and a VGA cable from the `` hdmus to VGA Converter '' to my projector -- this setup solve the ghost problem ! improve Graphics Performance ----------------------------- one app that I use very often be Photoshop -lrb- cs5 -rrb- . however , it be always be very sluggish on my computer . one particular problem that irk I be I when I press and hold down the space bar to temporarily use the hand tool , the image would not pan or if it do , it be choppy and excruciatingly slow . after I install this graphic card , the problem be go . Photoshop be now very responsive and much faster than before . -- if you want to set up dual monitor or if you have a onboard graphic card and want improved graphic performance , the ASUS GeForce 8400GS card be a good bet . be aware of the potential VGA ghost problem with dual Monitor setup however . apart from the VGA ghost problem -lrb- which I find a workaround for -rrb- , I be immensely please with this graphic card . +886 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy this card to upgrade my older p4 ASUS MB system to use a hd television as a monitor . it use a standard PCI slot and full case size perfectly . it come with the part to modify it to a short case , but I do not use they and can not comment on that besides that they look perfectly well suit to accomplish that task . the driver install without issue on my Win xp system and I do not bother to update they since they function fine through the HDMI cable -lrb- include audio -rrb- . not much else to say , work perfectly . +979 GraphicsCard POS 4 so I be currently use this at work to add a 3rd monitor as a extended desktop to my other two . I have to say with Windows xp at least the set up be really quite nice and easy . lot of option for clone or extend and a great deal of control over which monitor be which . one interesting thing that be worth mention be that you can have up to 6 of these . that mean 6 additional monitor can conceivably be add to you current set up should you ever have a desire for such a thing -lrb- although I personally would hate it as I would never be able to find my cursor -rrb- . now you can only do one monitor per device you buy . if you do want to do 6 , you 'll have to buy 6 of these . it also allow you to add a VGA port to a device that do not have one . why do I care about this ? well ... it sure would be nice to play video file on my Dell duo -lrb- tablet\/netbook -rrb- on my hdtv . since it have no hdmus , VGA , or DVI port natively , this would allow that . I be sure you can think of other device with this same issue ... a additional point of interest for some - normally when you clone monitor in Windows you have to set both monitor at the same resolution . further it mean you have to go with the resolution of the worst monitor as a max and that mix monitor of differ aspect ratio will yield weird result . -lrb- for instance , if you have a monitor that be capable of 1920x1200 and one that can only do 1280 x 1024 , you 'll have to run both at 1280x1024 or less -rrb- . this device allow you to clone monitor ... at different resolution ! if you do not need this ... you do not care . but if you do , you know what a huge deal this be ! the only complaint I have with the way I be currently use it be that whenever my computer go to sleep , whatever be on the 3rd monitor -lrb- the one on this device -rrb- get push over to one of the other screen . very minor , but I have so many application open at once that it would be nice if they stay put over there . however , that say here be some other thing worth know -lrb- for most people these would not be issue I do not think , but just in case it do not happen to impact you ... -rrb- I originally get it for a embedded project since it would have be a lot nicer to have a usb port than a VGA port + power . it be a nice small form factor for it , but ultimately I do not end up use it because : 1 . it require a driver to install . this mean that every computer you plug it into will need to install this software . that be fine if you have a specific computer you be go to use it on . not so much for a embedded device that need to plug into a variety of computer . 2 . I do not know if it be a problem with Windows 7 or with the specific computer I be use it with , but the `` primary '' computer for the embedded device do not do so well with the usb display device software . the resolution stay set from the last computer I use it on and as for cloning and extend the video card of the computer recognize it as a 3rd monitor . it do mean I could technically use it , but I do not have all option available and I be not able to get the exact set up I want because I could not access the software . on the xp computer I do not have this issue . you may find you also only have access to some option if whatever impact I show up for you . -lrb- it really may be the win 7 thing -rrb- 3 . it be a teeny bit of a power hog . I have a usb hub internal to my device . I should have have about 200 ma available for this , but it exceed it a few time which be not a big deal but I get flicker because of that . unless you be also use it on a unpowered hub with other device though , you 'll never notice this . all in all , I actually really like it and think it work pretty well indeed . it do not work for what I buy it for , but that do not mean I do not find it useful . Update : co-worker of mine get one and say it work fine for he on Windows 7 computer - either they update the software in the meantime -lrb- it be over a year later at this point -rrb- or it be just the computer I be use . +945 GraphicsCard NEG 2 this card run well as long as it be work properly . I replace my old Radeon 4890 power-color edition and there be a slight improvement from that when it come to run particular graphic enhancement in game . I mainly buy it so I would have dx11 since my old card do not . this be the second 6870 I have have to get , the first one be DOA , Amazon let I swap it for a new one . and after 2 month the card start have major graphical issue , random color pixel on the desktop , game be not even playable . I try the ` baking method ' as a last ditch effort to salvage the thing , this do not improve or worsen the card . I find it hard to believe I get two lemon one right after the other . I have contact Sapphire and in the process of return it for a replacement . I have already buy a new Nvidia EVGA GTX 560tus 448 Core Classified and it be run soundly . +115 GraphicsCard POS 4 this card be easy to install and setup have very good quality Video . I have a old Dell p4 computer and Windows 7 do not support the on board graphi , this video card allow I to install Windows 7 and run Windows 7 on this old computer that only have a pcus card slot . +968 GraphicsCard POS 5 I purchase this card to use in a pentium4 d computer with a agp 8x slot , with the intention of get accelerate openGL and compositing effect at 1680x1050 , in KDE 4 . it work . the installation be straight forward and it have work as it should for 3 week now . I have not try the Windows driver as I do not use Windows on this computer . this be a good basic agp video card . if that be what you need do not hesitate to buy it . +229 GraphicsCard POS 4 I be just go to buy this card until I notice this in the rebate paperwork . special instruction \* this promotion exclude Amazon +777 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card be well worth the 30 or forty dollar you be go to pay for it . it work in essentially ANY desktop computer and it certainly do not require a 300watt psu if you be not use a high watt CPU . it be better the expect it to be . it wind up get a 4.1 Desktop for Aero and a 4.4 business and gaming graphic . not too shabby for a old dell dimension 3000 +151 GraphicsCard POS 5 just get this card for a new build . paired it with a Intel i3-2120 and it work great . this card be pretty big , so if you have a small case , you might want to get a newer one to handle how long it be . as for gaming performance it work very well . I be use it to play Batman : ac , Star Wars : The Old Republic , WoW , Portal 2 and Dirt 3 all on high . never a hiccup with fp , even under full load it never get very hot and the fan be super quiet . all and all if you look for a good GPU that will not break the bank like a 7970 , this be what you want . it be a much better value then the 6850 and should keep you rig go for a few year at acceptable graphic level . also would like to give a shout out to the people at Neogaf who help I put together this rig , thanks guy ! +286 GraphicsCard POS 4 I have a 8 year old Pentium 4 , -lrb- 2.4 ghz , 2 gb of Ram -rrb- and this be my final upgrade before be force to buy something new . the card work well and I can play more modern game -lrb- like Fallout 3 -rrb- on low setting , and the old game that I have like C&C; general at high setting , but one weird issue I find be that REALLY old game that be lock at a low resolution -lrb- like Starcraft 1 , or c&c; 1 -rrb- there be some random graphic tear that do not occur on more modern game -lrb- or one set at 800x 600 -rrb- . I have the most current driver and try every connection -lrb- VGA , DVI and HDMI -rrb- and they all do the same thing , so I be deduct a star , but figure most people would be buy this to play more recent game and it should not be a issue . +712 GraphicsCard POS 5 Easy to install out of box . it generate 7.8 out of 7.9 . it allow you play most high-end game with maximum setting . but need to download newest driver from AMD website . I have research a lot on AMD 6870 and AMD 7770 . but I finally purchase 6870 due to the higher performance . recommend this card to the gamer with limited budget . +371 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card its magnificent , it can run every posible game at this moment without problem . Asus do a great job with the package of the card , really good look . apart from that this its just like any other 680 reference card in the market , with 3 year warranty . the one i have its from a good batch , it overclock really well -lrb- core : 1300 \/ memory : 6800 -rrb- +226 GraphicsCard NEG 2 I be in the minority here , but my first card run insanely hot , give artifact , and have serious driver issue . the second be not much better . hdmus sound go in and out , could not shake artifact in Skyrim , and it stay in the high 70s to low 80 . the coil whine be also unbearable at speed . overall , it be a massive disappointment . spent week try to work through the issue , and have little success . still , I be go to try a reference card rather than jump ship to Nvidia . +10 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be best card for the buck I have Gigabyte Intel Z68 ATX ddr3 2133 LGA 1155 Motherboards ga-z68x-ud3h-b3 , Intel Core i7-2700K Quad-Core Processor 3.5 GHz 8 MB Cache , 16gb RAM , OCZ Technology 256GB Vertex 4 Series SATA 6.0 gb\/s 2.5-inch solid state drive , system water cool . I have the gtx 560 , and overclock it so much it burn up . this card out proform the 560 gtx in its sleep , do not think you can go wrong with it ! get 100 + FPS in BF3 no problem : - -rrb- +200 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be where I could find this peice of equipment at a low price to help update my old computer . once install , I be able to notice a significant performance improvement in the pandora site and the netflix site . it also increase the speed on the youtube site . installation be very simple . +869 GraphicsCard NEG 1 spec-wise , this sound like a great card for my old Dell Dimension 4550 , but I could not get the driver to work . I check the i\/o port , irq , and dma channel look for conflict , but could not find anything . +891 GraphicsCard POS 5 the sapphire radeon 6870 be a amazing graphic card ! it get the job do . I can play crysis 2 easily with max 30 + fp . any other game it destroy ! remember that you do need a 500w + power supply so keep that in mind when buy a new graphic card . this be a easy install and run very cool . +767 GraphicsCard NEG 2 try this card out in my new HP desktop and the power cord be not compatible . it have the old style pinnage on it , so I go to Radio shack to see what I could find ... nada . the instruction do not even mention the need to connect power . too bad for gamer on a budget . +380 GraphicsCard POS 5 it be a very good item for people who want a additional external monitor but do not have a second vga port . highly recommend . +491 GraphicsCard NEU 3 even though it have the bio switch it will not unlock the extra shader . use gpuz and extract the alternate shader bio I can confirm that Sapphire be put a unlock bio on the card from the factory . however , even though this be the case the shader will not unlock . for that reason the card only get 3 star from I . people claim that you have to uninstall driver do not know what they be talk about ! there be no need to uninstall the driver to get the extra shader to unlock . just a head up it be pot luck you get one that will unlock and at this point I beleive AMD be laser out the extra shader on this GPU to try and get rid of the 6970 's in they stock and to push the 7xxx series card ... +585 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy two of these about 3 week ago , install they in two different computer . as of today all but a couple of game can be run at the highest setting possible with 30 + fp . come in a very good protected package . 5 start . +849 GraphicsCard POS 4 get a HP EliteBook 8440p with a docking station . want this to try a 3rd Monitor . it be adequate , the refresh on the screen be a little slow and it seem right now that I have to reset the property everytime I login , but not upset about that . I like have the extra monitor so can live with that issue . there may be a way to set up my laptop to get around this , but regardless I be happy with the product . +132 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy a pair and set up as dual slus -lrb- still debate go Quad SLI with they -rrb- . very smooth graphic , I max out all game setting with no loss of fp ! full size hdmus connector on card , nice as the monitor I buy to use on this only have old style analog and hdmus connector -lrb- Samsung s24b350hl -rrb- play some with overclocking have temp up to 72c but overall they be stable run for a half-hour . just as they be package sit around 38-39c for the one closest to processor and 36-37c for other . part of a completely new system build p8z77-v Premium motherboard Intel 3770K i-7 -lrb- overclocked to 4.4 currently -rrb- 16g 1866 G.

NT & FS thanks Amazon !!!! this be a worthy card ! only con would be if you space limit . its a 10 '' card due to the cooler being 2 '' longer than the 8 '' pcb . but if you have a mid tower or bigger , then not a problem . get it !!! +739 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy two of these card . these video card a bit shorter than my previous card -lrb- 4870x2 -rrb- which would not allow I to run Battlfield 3 on 1900x1080 with ultra setting on my 27 '' Samsung lead monitor . I have to run it at 1600x1000 on medium setting . use one 6950 card , I be able to run bf3 at 1900x1080 on ULTRA setting . everything run smooth ! this card have a bio switch next to the SLI port . it be at default , but switch it towards the other end of the card and it will automatically turn on the 6970 shader of 1536 when you plug it in and turn on you comp . you will need about a 850 watt power supply if you plan on run two video card in Crossfire . you can not use three of these in crossfire -lrb- wtf I just find that out -rrb- . if you could run three , you would need a 1000 Watt power supply . warning !!!! dont rush into flash the 6970 model 's bio rom like I do . find the exact instruction for this brand and model . there be many 6970 rom flash instruction out there . Google how to unlock you hd 6950 ` dirt 3 edition ' and use the link from forum dot guru3d dot com -lrb- Amazon wont allow link -rrb- . these instruction be for this card . be a fool I flash another brand\/make 6970 bio rom and my comp 's monitor would not turn on during boot up , not to mention the usb mouse and keyboard not light up . if you experience this , then flip the switch back to the factory setting and you computer will recognize it . to bring you video card back to factory setting when turn the bio switch on , turn on you computer with the switch at the factory setting -lrb- bio switch off -rrb- . then while the computer be on , turn the switch on . then flash the correct bio rom for the 6950 2gb dirt edition . you comp will then boot up with the bio switch on and with the 6970 shader setting . I be also currently run a old i7 920 2.66 ghz quadcore overclock to 3.36 ghz and use 16gb of Ram at 1600mhz . +537 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I go online and fill out the rebate form but while you be fill out the rebate , there be no where that say the address have to match the billing until you go to print out the last page -lrb- which you normally assume be correct -rrb- . I send the rebate in right away , and it show that they receive it but they do not send I a email regard the rejection until the last day that I be able to resubmit . also , the reason state that the invoice\/packing slip be invalid and not that the address do not match . obviously I didnt get my rebate and all I get be rude service . +645 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I be very excited switching from my previous sapphire 4870 to this new model , and at first very happy with the performance , huge gap as you can imagine . trouble start a few hour after with a first freeze while play , I start to wonder about my computer , test everything , remove some harddrive , RAM module -lrb- testing with mem86 -rrb- wipe and re-install driver , swithe from one pcie to another , nothing would do , I be still get random freeze , mostly while play but also on the desktop , also I would see display corruption come back from sleep mode . intersting point it happen really random , I try to stress my system with free software out there use all GPU ressource and even CPU and MEM ressource at the same time , no luck , unable to `` trigger '' the freeze ... switch back to my previous card , magic ! no more issue ... -lrb- switch several time between the two card , same symptom -rrb- therefore I have no doubt the problem come from the card -lrb- or some kind of incompatibility with my system -rrb- after a few day search for my problem on the internet I find a interesting topic talk about issue while dual screening -lrb- my case -rrb- more precisely while dual screening DVI + HDMI -lrb- my case -rrb- , I think great ! I find my problem , but sadly ... still no luck and still problem even with one screen . at this point I be wait for my rma number to return the card , I fear I may have the same problem with the new one if it be link to my hardware -lrb- x58 platform win7 64 bit -rrb- I do not know , but this be the first time I be have this kind of issue and I be quite upset with sapphire . +908 GraphicsCard POS 5 I think the title of this review pretty much say it all . I buy this video card as a replacement for one that die in my pc . because it be a few year old the system do not support PCI Express , which be a huge hassle as there be only a tiny handful of video card avaialble anymore that support the pcus format . I will be upgrade soon but need something to keep the system hum along in the meantime . this GeForce 6200 have work out very well . it plug right in no problem and have perform quite nicely after be recognize by the system . definitely worth the purchase . +235 GraphicsCard POS 4 my company be in a hardware refresh phase . I bring a new docking station for my work laptop to accompany three monitor that I have at home . to my surprise , I receive a third screen at work as well . my office be not one of the lucky office that receive a docking station that support three external monitor . docking station be expensive and I can not justify buy another one for the office . so I decide to give this adapter a try . I be get exactly what I pay for . setup be easy enough . plug in all the cable and install the need driver . I turn on the screen and all I see be my mouse cursor . nothing else . I move window over to the monitor but all I see be my mouse . the manual say that the product support 32-bit at my select resolution , but I decide to change it to 16-bit on a hunch . that work . however , I have notice that not everything show . for example , javascript mouseover effect do not show on screen . the con be okay so far . I can live with they . I could have give it three star , even four give the price consideration . so why the two star ? there be a bug of some kind in the driver . the screen -lrb- s -rrb- go blank for couple of seconds at random interval when the device be not connect . that be fine if I have a desktop ... but this be a laptop . -- change rating to 4 . latest driver solve the problem . +452 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy this video card to use with my Dell docking station with my Dell d620 . I can now play my video game -lrb- doom 3 , cod 2 , Kotor I and II , F.E.A.R. , nwn with full graphic detail . this with Windows 7 - the property on the card show 512 meg dedicate video ram , with 763 share ram , make this a over 1 gb ram video card . I love it , and highly recommend . +771 GraphicsCard POS 5 the gtx 680 be undoubtedly a very powerful GPU - arguably the single most powerful GPU at the time of write this review . I be go to comment more about my experience with galaxy instead of the gtx 680 as there seem to be lot of information about the 680 but not as much about Galaxy . I be in desperate need of a new card , and I actually pass over a opportunity or two where the only brand that Amazon have in stock be Galaxy because in the past I would also go with the more well respect but slightly higher price GPU manufacturer . since I need a new card badly , one of those time when amazon have only galaxy in stock , I decide to take the plunge , and I be actually very glad that I do . the card work as advertise and Galaxy have be a outstanding company to work with up to date . it seem like they give you two year default warranty with the card and three year if you register the card at they website within a month of purchase it . I register my card and find the process to be very quick and easy . it take I five minute at most , and one of the best part be that after have be register with they for over a month , I have yet to receive any adverting email from they . in contrast , some of the more well-known GPU manufacturer have be send I advertisement on a near weekly basis after register with they . when buy a computer component there be always a chance that it will be defective no matter which company make it . galaxy seem to be a very underrated company at least in the United States . however , in my book they be very capable of make good quality gpus , and I would personally buy from they again even if Amazon be to have multiple manufacturer of the GPU in stock . +344 GraphicsCard NEU 3 I buy this card from Newegg when they have it on sale for $ 200 . the reason I choose it over a ASUS topius 560tus be : 1 . I hear a lot about unlock it to 6970 and 2 . it have 2g memory , but after use it for a few day , I start to regret my choice . the first thing I want to mention be that this card can not unlock to 6970 , and yes , I be 100 % sure of that . this be not a big issue though , after all , unlock would just give a roughly 5 % performance boost . secondly , this card will not overlock to the clock speed I want . Trixx be the only utility I find that could let you tune the core voltage of this card -lrb- try MSI AB , Asus GPU tweak -rrb- , but the limit be set at 1.18 v -lrb- 1.1 v default -rrb- . with 1.18 v core voltage , I can only overclock the core speed to around 920mhz -lrb- 820mhz default -rrb- with memory at 1400mhz -lrb- 1250 default -rrb- . it would crash if I increase the number . if I could choose again , I would definitely add 50 + buck and get a hd7850 or a gtx 570 . this card do its work , but it do not really perform well enough for its price . +422 GraphicsCard POS 5 buy it not too long ago and have be run codmw3 on it . Works very well and have have no problem at all . +415 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be the first graphic card I have purchase to build my first pc . at the moment of write , it be two generation away from the latest $ 1k gtx 690 so it be pretty good . I should have wait a few week and get this with a Borderlands 2 promotion , but I be too impatient . I think the card be a bit large , but then it be just my motherboard be small -lrb- it be the ASUS 's rog maximus iv gene-z , a matx -rrb- . in the future , I do want to try out slus but it might be troublesome . if I do a better job at cable management , I think I will be able to fit two card in that mobo . I currently have two Acer 23 '' monitor hook up to this card via the two DVI port ; they look very crisp at 1980x1200 . I believe this card support 3 monitor out of the box ; I plan on use hdmus for a 19 '' tv I have . +363 GraphicsCard NEG 1 happen to find out the Sapphire card do not natively support for the max resolution of the most common 22 '' monitor . you have to settle with the low resolution for the picture ratio to be right . the Sapphire customer support seem to be totally ignorant\/arrogant , and can not provide any information other than `` this be you monitor 's issue '' . it be such a experience of frustration that I would say goodbye ever to sapphire\/ati +810 GraphicsCard POS 5 this video card be great ! it be easy to overclock and have never reach a temp of over 60c when play battlefield 3 on ultra graphic setting . would highly recommend for any gamer . +144 GraphicsCard NEG 2 arrive without a guide or documentation of any sort , inside or out , opposite of encouraging review by mr b above that specifically mention a guide . -lrb- ? be this a return ? ? OEM ? be not list as such . ? do the vendor even look in the box ? -rrb- driver installation exit with hopeless message . nVidia knowledgebase have only trouble report , no on-line guide . resort to live Chat , get lead around the barn a few time by someone work out of a script notebook . finally quit chat and figure it out myself . not a newbie . what must they go through ? +207 GraphicsCard POS 4 my choice for the larger memory . Great for a 1920x1200 resolution monitor . can play swtor at max re with 60 fp . I would suggest use a reference model if you plan on modify it with a after-market fan cooler . not the same form-factor as the standard gtx 570 . this model will not take the backplate or high-airflow bracket either . I find this out the hard way unfortunately . if I have one complaint about EVGA , it be the fact that such a expensive product would require a add purchase for a backplate ?!? and for this model , they do not even make one . why would they not include the add stability and quality the backplate add to such a already expensive product ? it would have be a 5 star review if it be not for the backplate issue . Update : I install the Arctic Cooling Accelero Extreme Plus II fan cooler . it require some modding as state above , but the temp be well worth the effort . I run game like WoW , SWTOR , and wot on ultra setting and have steady temp at 47-53c . I should also mention that this fan only run at 85 % because the EVGA Precision app only run it that high . at that setting , I still do not even hear a whisper from the fan . these be my result after about 3 month of steady gaming . very happy with this purchase . if you be interested in that fan cooler refer to -lrb- -lrb- ... -rrb- -rrb- for a great thread on modding this card . +365 GraphicsCard POS 5 this video card be cooler and quiter than my old Evga GTX 260 . battlefield 3 , Batman arkham city run flawlessly . driver issue but nothing bad . +255 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I have now have to send back two of these card . the first have a fan issue - a grinding\/crunching noise on the rear fan at 45-65 % speed . this could easily have be find in the factory with a simple fan test , so it imply very low quality control . the second I buy from a different retailer -lrb- hope they have better stock -rrb- , but no luck . the card be unstable -lrb- hard crash the computer -rrb- , would not overclock at all , and come with a stock voltage of 1.21 V. worse , the plastic protector on the shroud be hold together by bit of tape - it look like this card be return by someone , and then resell as ` new ' . +149 GraphicsCard NEU 3 the product be very affordable and easy to install ; however , after two week the product start cause issue with the monitor and stop work . +578 GraphicsCard NEU 3 First thing first , it can max any game to date ... battlefield 3 , skyrim & the old republic in big city all have some hiccup but it be great none the less . now , I be have Blue screen of death issue since get this card , I reset the bio and all problem be go for now \* knock on wood \* the card be not loud I dont know why that a common complaint , even if it be . . do not you play with sound ? or do you play all of you game mute ? think so . it run pretty cool the only time i check it be at 40ish Celcius BUT it be the middle of winter and my room be cold as hell . I be not a fan of the customer service , they respond fairly fast but instead of I walk through potential fix and etc. . . they ask I to send it in and pay for the shipping ... woah , what the f \*\*\* ... why would i pay for the shipping because you product be not work properly ? thats complete crap and im fairly certain I wont buy another Saphire product again , hopefully my problem be go and I wont have to pay these tool to send I what should have come in the mail . +820 GraphicsCard POS 5 this accessory have boost my productivity significantly , I purchase the DVI connector as I think it would be faster . I have no complaint whatsoever . I call for support for something I could have fix myself -lrb- reinstall the driver -rrb- and they be very fast to answer . I be use 2 large 1920 by 1200 with a small laptop and my life will never be the same , I be now get one for home , so I can work consistently at home and work ! loving this device , a small cost for a large gain of productivity ! I buy one for everyone in we company who want it ! +173 GraphicsCard POS 5 it install perfectly fine . it work fine . it be a pretty nice graphic card for the money . Plays Skyrim on high with a good fp and ultra do not kill it , although I would not quite call it playable . I have not test anything extensive like bf3 or crysis 1 , but everything else run fine and my bottleneck be now my CPU . +529 GraphicsCard POS 4 im not gonna give a huge long technical analysis of this card , but it work great ! i have not hear of visiontek before and be a little leery of try a new brand , but it be the least expensive 7970 available . fortunately my money be not waste , it work spectacularly . i be run a 3 monitor setup with this one card flawlessly . only loss fp rate when run game on all screen , but even that do not effect the performance by much . i can play battlefield 3 on single monitor at 90 + fp easily , and 3 screen at 60 + . so all in all a great buy , i would recommend for anyone who want the true gaming experience diff --git a/dev/Headphone.txt b/dev/Headphone.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..23c69daa734439b70db82da0fc2ae163f9b01940 --- /dev/null +++ b/dev/Headphone.txt @@ -0,0 +1,100 @@ +852 Headphone POS 4 I buy these as a temporary replacement for a set of Motorola ROKR s305 headphone that die after 3 month . although I eventually receive a replacement set of the Motorolas , they remain in the box as these baby continue to out-perform they . they be not the best look headphone ever and they feel a bit cheap but they sound fine and the battery life be terrific . the Motorolas might last for 2-3 gym session before they die but these baby easily last for 20 session before I recharge they . and this be always because I worry they might be run low , not because they run out of juice . frankly for ~ $ 27 they be a steal . +760 Headphone NEG 1 this product be such a disappointment . it only work intermitently . at time it word half way work , but the volume be so low it be difficult to hear . the problem start immediately . I have onw this product less than 1 month and would not buy it again . I can not reccommend this product to anyone . +946 Headphone POS 5 I buy a few earphone , and I have to say these be one of the better one . the ipod earphone be horrible ... and they really hurt my ear . I be surprise when I get these because I could actually hear the bass ! they cancel other noise really well , and it be cheap . I mean for it be price I must say I be very impress . Great for run , however I think these be yellow ... but they be green . : -lrb- +8 Headphone NEU 3 I buy these headphone two year ago for $ 70 after loose my father 20year old pro4 -lrb- oop -rrb- . my big complaint about the pro4 be that -lrb- the 20 year old one -rrb- be heavy and not too comfortable so I choose the pro3 . they sound great for about 2 month when suddenly one earpiece just snap off the headband . for $ 6 + $ 7 shipping I return for a complete replacement . that be the great part . one year later I be do the same thing again . the earpiece snap off again . I be not abuse these . I be just try to put they on my head . Hindsight : I should have go for the pro4 or another brand that use metal instead of cheap , flimsy plastic . pro : good sound , light comfortable and will not break the bank . con : cheap construction . break very easily . if I could justify the mv1 I would go for those . +61 Headphone POS 4 pro : - typical 3.5 mm male to 3.5 mm female cable splitter - fit any normal headphone or auxiliary port - slimmer style male port so it would fit into my ipod with it be case on -lrb- bonus ! -rrb- - cable length be about 5-6 '' so its a good length , not too long , but not too short - cable be also nice and sturdy so they will not be damage very easily . highly durable - the connection be solid , no static at all , and the male audio port plug into the female port easily and will not slip out . con : - -lrb- I run into this problem only on one occasion -rrb- : the splitter may reduce the volume to half it be maximum output . I split my tv into two different set of surround sound to test the output quality and it only deliver half the volume it be suppose to to each of the surround sound system . this only occur on one occasion which be why it be 4 star instead of five . you may run into this problem , but like I say , it have only happen once , and I order a large number of these splitter . overall : I would rate this 5 star out of 5 if it be not for the one instance of lowered volume . otherwise , this be a exceptional product . I have try many different splitter for my need and this one have last the longest , and perform the greatest overall . for the cheap price , it outperform any high price guarantee splitter out there ! if you need a quick split , or just want to have it for any need , I would recommend this product ! +718 Headphone POS 4 but ... it be a little quiet . fit comfortably , my ear do not get uncomfortable after prolonged use , this really could have also benefit from one wire come from a cup . but they work , and they be cheap . I can not complain . +9 Headphone POS 4 pro : great headphone for the price . worked right out of the box . good sound . charge battery 's very well . con : they fit a little loose on you head and slide off when bend over . +79 Headphone POS 5 this headphone be great , this be my first headphone and be great , good sound quality , perfect noise reduction , the only bad thing be that they will get a little hot on you ear but after use it for 2 straight hour ... so I guess this be a must if you want good headphone . +441 Headphone NEG 1 maybe it be just a glitch in my player , but I have never use it because it do not work properly . I now have a player that I really can not do anything with and Visual Land Inc. do not appear to want to refund my money . they have send a replacement , but it be not work either . proceed with caution in buy this player . +881 Headphone NEG 2 good trait . - they do take get use to , but if they be free around you neck they stay in fine . - sound quality be fine for run headphone - if you need to hear you surroundings , you can always invert they and they hand above you ear . bad trait . they do NOT last . I have one pair for about 6 month and one of the bud just go dead after it fade in and out for a week . I like the functionality so I get another pair , and it also last about 6 month until they have the same problem . the left bud just die , happen to both pair , seem to be a fault of the product that the same thing happen twice . not good enough life for the price . I 'll be try something different . +515 Headphone POS 5 these be really great . the sound and clarity be supperb . you can still hear the tv in the next room . the range be not far , maybe 25 foot . but it be good for what I need . +592 Headphone POS 4 I buy these to replace the original ipod ear phone that have start die on I . I want something for a reasonable price that would help block out some noise as I take the bus and subway every day . these do the trick !!! I have be able to turn the volume of my ipod down by half and it sound louder and better then with the old ipod ear phone . also the noise canceling do work , I hardly hear the subway anymore . +434 Headphone POS 5 I be look for a well-made nice sound headphone and run across this set on Amazon after a brief search . briefly look through some review and decide to order the V-Moda 's . the headphone arrive promptly and come in a nice case . it be larger than some may want to carry around or when travel , but I be specifically look for a over-the-ear headphone so I know the case would be larger . the headphone fit snugly over the ear and really block out outside sound when you be listen to music or watch something on the iPad , etc. . would not recommend they at all for generally walk around as you would not hear what be go around you at all . I be initially worried aboput how these would feel after wear they for a couple of hour but Moda 's be really comfortable . I use they for quite a bit and I be surprise at the lack of any type of long-term listen fatigue . the sound quality be outstanding and the bass be solid and tight . Forgot how nice this style of headphone sound after use earbud for so long . now my daughter want she own set !! I would highly recommend these headphone and you will not be disappoint . +216 Headphone POS 4 First off . I pay 33 dollar with 2 day shipping . 2 month ago I pay around 65 dollar for Skullcandy Skullcrushers . they last about 3 week . when I first get these hd202 's the first thing I notice be the long cord . it really be not that bad because they give you a thing to wrap it around with a clip on it . what really amaze I be how good these thing sound for 30 $ alot better than the Skullcrushers . obviously , the bass be not as `` loud '' or do not `` vibrate '' as much , but the hd202 's have a good amount of bass . it be kinda `` muddy '' but not bad . pro : volume not much Distortion Long cord bang for buck sound clearity con : loose on head cheap design small ear cups\/pads do not cover whole ear basically , you can not go wrong with these headphone for around 30 dollar . I hear such good thing about these , I do not want to buy another pair of different can that be more expensive because I do not want the hd202 's to still sound better . +660 Headphone POS 5 I already have a nice pair of headphone with better sound quality than these , but they be the big one that cover up half you head . if you take those to the gym or go out for a run with they , not only do you look ridiculous , but the sweat just pool up and soak they . so I be in the market for some earbud , but I know from experience that earbud keep fall out and be a royal pain . these be the perfect design , and once you fit they to you head , they will not fall out , and they be so light that you barely even notice they . in short , they be perfect . I do read the below review about how these headphone do not last very long before I buy they . there be two possibility : one be that one of the internal mechanism just fall apart , in which case there be nothing to be do . the more likely possibility be that repeat tug of the wire eventually loosen it from the delicate structure of the headphone . so I simply tie the wire around the headphone and tape it in such a way that even if you tug at the wire , there be no pressure and no possibility of tug the wire loose from the earbud . I 'll let you know how long these headphone last - if they do not last long , then there must be a mechanical problem with these and I would suggest not buy they . UPDATE : I love these headphone , they really have the perfect design . I have read some earlier review about they not last . my theory be that constant tug of the wire would eventually pull they loose from the internal speaker , so to prevent that I tape the wire down on the first day . despite this , they last 3 month until the sound in the left earbud start go on and off , and then finally die , prove that it be simply a cheap internal mechanism that be the problem , not any sort of wear and tear . there be enough similar case as mine that should justify Sony discontinue this product and come out with a model that have some decent durability . if I could change my rating I would give it 1 star . +707 Headphone POS 5 for some reason I can not wear earbud headphone , I have try all kind and they be not comfortable and do not stay in my ear . so I have try just about every neckband and over ear design sport headphone out there ... until I find these and now I will never buy another type of headphone for run and work out . the Sennheiser pmx70 headphone be not only incredibly comfortable , durable and water\/sweatproof but they sound amazing . I be not expect the sound quality to be this high in a sport model . I have run many many mile in these through rain , wind , snow , sleet , etc. and they sound just as amazing as when I buy they -lrb- over a year ago -rrb- . I pay $ 50 for they and would do it again in a heartbeat even though I see the price have come down to about half that now . if you do not like earbud or can not wear they and need a sturdy , high quality sport headphone - this be it . +951 Headphone POS 5 I pay $ 10 for they at best buy since the rubber earbud fall off the $ 20 Logitech one I also own , and I be amaze how well the sound quality surpass the more expensive pair . more comfortable fit in the ear , not as much speaker hiss , and none of that infernal thump every time I nudge the cable on the Logitech . I would gladly pay 2x more for these , and since they be be sell for 1\/5 the price I pay here , I say go for it ! +605 Headphone POS 5 bought mine off of platinum buy here on Amazon for about $ 121 . have own this for a mere 2 day . Box come with everything expect except the side-plate be matte black instead of gunmetal like I order and a bonus pair of red shield , new screw , and a tool to fit em in . it be color scheme do not seem to exactly fit any model that V-moda advertise either , so I be concerned I may have a knockoff -lrb- but if it be , it be a good knockoff -rrb- . I have since replace the black plate with the red one . much more stunning . style : Sleek , non-intrusive , but still a piece of eye-candy . the plate be what give it its distinct appeal . when choose , be sure to pick the variation that come with you preferred color of headband and miscellaneous decal since customize side-plate can be order separately . ear piece be not bulky-looking when wear . Headband flare out quite minimally , and stay pretty close to head . fit : I have get a fairly big head but it fit pretty comfortably . ear cup do not completely surround my ear , that be to say that it be still partially lay atop my ear . hug head pretty firmly , but not painfully so . at the moment , I can sport these fella for 5 hour until my ear need a break from the pressure . that be say , you may or may not have to break the headband in a bit . if you have get ear that be big or tend to jut out , you may need to find a roomier pair of can . as for weight , they be definitely on the lighter side of the spectrum . CONSRUCTION : seem pretty tough . have test bend the headband in various and seemingly dangerous way . have maintain its shape and tension . drop it once only 2-3 foot . not a big fall , but hey lot of headphone splode at the slightest impact . not much else to say here until time have take passage . I 'll be sure to come back if anything concern its hardiness have change for better or worse . sound : you skip to this part do not ya ? Anywho , to start off , I have pretty sensitive ear and tend to keep my music play fairly low that most people would be struggle to listen . keep that in mind , straight out of the box , the sound be not as balanced as I would hope it be . be a bit bass heavy and it overpower vocal . however , consider the many review and account I hear about crossfade and many a pair of good headphone need a time to burn-in and loosen up , I dose it with full blast frequency sweep and white noise overnight . this morning , the sound quality improve , and even now in the evening it have improve in comparison to this morning . mid be fantastically clear and be warm and organic sound , high be perfectly crisp . consider this , listen to music at higher volume make the bass a bit painful for my sensitive ear . however , at low volume the bass be perfect and do not disappear from the track like it would in many other headphone . now , I have never own any other high end over-ear headphone , but I do own a pair of monster turbine which be fantastic soundwise . compare the sound quality , there be really little to no difference of how good the mid and high be . both be fantastic in that regard . both be also a tad bass heavy . however , the turbine 's bass feel tighter . by that I mean , each bass note be clearly define and it do not sound muddy at all . the crossfade be just a tad muddy -lrb- and I mean just a tad -rrb- and a little harder to distinguish but they hold a bit more punch as they be 50mm diaphragm . so if you want to feel the rumble of thunder or that explosion , crossfade be the one that 'll make ya jump outta you seat and proceed to duck 'n cover . there be no innate buzz unless it be you machine , there be no clipping or distortion as far as I can tell , and the noise isolation be purely passive and I can still hear the environment pretty well with these headphone on -lrb- this may be due to my sensitive hearing -rrb- . the music that I feel best fit these be electric\/techno and all of its subgenre , but I have enjoy all sort of music include heavy metal , orchestral , acoustic\/folk , classical , chiptune , ethnic\/world , and more . to summarize , these headphone be : for the audiophile . for the fashion conscious . build tough . Pretty Comfy . fairly price . a very good buy ! Hope this help ! EDIT : Jan. 6 , 2012 - after play around with equalizer and again run these through a lot of different type of music . I have conclude that these can limelight low and high while the mid frequency be not feature as strongly as the latter two . thus music such as classic rock and orchestral performance be not as full and warm . vocal be also a bit push back behind bassline and\/or percussion . however , they be totally capable of very nice sound mid . just up the mid frequency on you equalizer and vocal will be bring to the forefront and nearly all type of music have a warmer\/fuller effect . +542 Headphone POS 5 the sound quality be good and the product it self be very good for the price . I use it in work out and it stay in place which be what i be look for . +7 Headphone NEU 3 the headphone perform the task , sound quality be not as good as a wire connection would be +285 Headphone NEU 3 the headphone work great but after only 8 use the ear pad fall off and the foam inside have deteriorate . bose offer to be very nice and extend the warrantee all of another 3 month to cover but mine be older than that -lrb- not much though -rrb- . for the money they charge they should not fall apart . I have a pair of Koss that be 40 year old and still perfect . no more bose anything for I . +225 Headphone NEG 2 I get these to go jogging because they look nice , be from a reputable brand , and have positive review . I see the review about they be big , but I assume these people have especially small ear , since the majority of reviewer like they . I have very average size ear for a woman . in every aspect , these be too big . at a little over 5\/8 '' , the depth be so large that they stick out farther than any part of my ear . they measure 1 3\/8 '' from the center of the earbud to the top of the loop , which be just enough room to brush the top of my ear uselessly . the earbud itself be so large that it get painful if you keep it in too long . the only thing that allow it to stay in place -lrb- only when there be no motion on the cord -rrb- be that it curl in tightly enough that the part that go behind the ear fit ; but even that be not rigid enough to comfortably hold it . all this combined means that while run , I have to put the cord through my shirt so there be no movement at the ear hook , and the wind go through the part not touch my ear definitely travel into the headphone to create a noisy environment . when it be in place , the sound quality be decent , although there be not much bass . the sound be crisp . the cord be not the highest quality , so after use it for a week , it still retain the bend and fold where they be in the original package device . so in conclusion , measure you ear and compare to the above number before purchase . if it fit , at around $ 6 , it be a great deal . if not , it be definitely not worth the hassle . +470 Headphone POS 5 I buy these for my husband for Christmas . he absolutely love they . the sound quality be great . as a prime member , I receive they via free two day shipping , which be wonderful . I recommend these headphone for anyone who love music , have a iphone , ipod , or etc. . +763 Headphone POS 5 Ok , so I have own to set of hd202 's and they be awesome headphone for the price . this year I decide to go a lil ' bit higher end after my dog eat my 202 's . so after almost a month of look for `` better than hd202 's '' I find this hd280pro . they be a bit pricey but I get a refurbish set for 56 $ . the comfort : for the first couple of day I feel like they be squeeze my head , after use they for 3 continuous hr ... but I know by experience that you have to soften they a little . they feel a bit heavier than 202 's , and they be , but they construction feel very rigid . very hard plastic . this be my second week use they and I can tell they have soften a little and feel better . Head room be huge , -lrb- I use 7 5\/8 in hat -rrb- and I can tell you that I be not even half way to the max expand capability of these . the ear pad on these 280 's be wider than the one in the 202 's . I have small ear so I have not have a problem with neither one of they , and it be very soft and thick -lrb- I can almost use it as a pillow while travel -rrb- . sound : Quality be awesome ! compare to the 202 's they lack of bass but just give they aprox 3 to 5 day to break in and you will start feel the difference . still the low end frequency response be great and mid and high be very crisp and clear . now these be design mostly for studio usage and since they be 64ohm you ipod may struggle a bit to power they up to they full capacity . I have a Ipod Classic 160GB , I usually use it 75 % volume and it be loud . noise cancelling : I think it be very similar to the 202 's , I would say better noise cancel since the material use in these hd280 's be thicker . overall , it be great ! cord : it look very resistant and it be coil which make it better for such a long cord , compare to the 202 's that you have to tie it around the plastic thing that come with it which be almost as heavy as the headphone . it be thicker than the 202 's and come out of the left side only which be great . overall it be a great product and totally recommend . +137 Headphone POS 5 I buy to try the follow earphone : Koss KSC9 , which be earphone with clip over the ear , Koss ksc22 which be with clip over the ear as well . I want the clip so that the earphone would not fall out from my ear so easely , and these two model do not fall from the ear no matter what you do . but the sound quality be depend at the way you will insert they to you ear . but Sony MDR ed21lp be a surprise to I : not only they fit so well in my ear , they will hold they selve very nicely within the ear -lrb- maybe after some time you will need to push\/fit they in a little , but even without do so , they will not fall out -rrb- and they sound much better because they be act like internal earbud , without be force and seal inside the ear canal , which be very un healthy for the ear . this Sony model do the trick very well , they fit very nice , quickly and locate they selve in the optimal way in the ear cavity , and they have this special rubber part that be gently insert into the ear canal , but without the pressure of the tight seal , so you get a surprising louder bass then any of the earphone model that do not have this aditional `` sound tube '' . I be a musician and I can tell very well if the sound be even slightly better . I be go to get I another set of these so well sound earphone . the sound be balance all across . I like to hear a good bass sound and this Sony model give I the best joy of listen so far with these size of earphone . -lrb- my mother tang in not english , so please forgive I if there be any mistake -rrb- . +670 Headphone NEU 3 after play video game and listen to music with these headphone constantly for the past 3 day , I would rate they 3.5 out of five star if possible , add the extra .5 for the nice fit\/construction construction : for a pair of over the head , full size headphone , these do feel very light , and snug withought be too tight . the cord be thin , and the length be a nice medium . as you can see in the picture the ear fold up and inward into the headband to keep these somewhat portable . there be a very convenient net that keep the folding headband from snag you hair , as well as contribute to the nice snug fit feeling . sound : the sound in general be mediocre . they do sound good , but I have a feeling that some of the increase in quality I be experience be simply because I be use to you standard non-enclosed headphone . I notice the base be strong in video game , but not in music . for example , Whenever I play say , Battlefield 2142 ... the explosion , heavy artillery fire\/tank shell , and the thud ground-pound of the mech walk around sound fantastic , but they tend to overpower other sound effect . however , when play music -lrb- 128 kbp AAC 's -rrb- I do not notice the super-strong base , however it do sound better than you standard headphone . it should be note that 128kbp be not full quality music , yet it have become the standard for download for file size vs. quality . Price vs. performance : it be a nice balance . you be not spend very much on these , and you be get performance may not be great , but certainly not bad . my opinion be that if you be on a budget or not willing to spend a whole lot on headphone , but want to make sure you be get decent sound quality , then these be a solid and justifiable buy . however , if you be a impulsive buyer , be strong and just hold off until you can afford to spend more . this be my first pair of enclosed-ear headphone and while satisfied for now , I foresee a newer , probably twice as expensive pair in my not too distant future . +299 Headphone POS 5 these be awesome ! you can listen to you tv , stereo , etc. from almost anywhere ! even if you outside or on a different floor . this thing transmit through door , wall , floor , other people , anything ! -lrb- I think it be range be about 100 foot -rrb- plus , you control the volume . so , you can crank up the volume and be in you bedroom list to the cd in the living room ! you can move around , too , and there be no interruption . +925 Headphone POS 5 I have buy many of this headphone already they be pretty gud what suck be that the black one be cheaper than the white one and they be both the same . I think both should cause the same +467 Headphone POS 5 buy they for my husband he be very satisfied with they power and clarifity would recommend they great set of headphone for the price . +922 Headphone NEG 1 as the other reviewer have mention - yes , the chord be terrible . in less than a year the wire be come apart and ready to break at the minus plug . decent sound quality be no use if the headphone become useless in a few month . Hope the manufacturer take note of this very common complaint . +153 Headphone POS 5 these be the best headphone I have ever have the joy of use to listen with ! I love it ! the sound be so crisp and clear , the noise cancellation really work ! they fit so comfortably in my ear , and they do not fall out unless you want they to . I will definitely buy this again , except there be one thing you should be aware of . I have not own they for more than 4 month , when one headphone quit work . I be very disappointed . after all that time of enjoy highest quality all around , without empty my bank account for it , they break after normal use . I believe that this be a fluke , and I be already purchase a replacement , but be aware of this , and keep the warranty , which I do not . overall , buy this product ! +479 Headphone NEU 3 the headphone themselves be decent , but I have my quarrel . the phone look great ! do not be mistake about that . these be some stylish headphone , but the sound quality ... just do not match up . the driver be suppose to be handcraft 40mm , but they sound like some Sony headphone I have that be worth $ 25 . there be a sort of echo in the cup that sound like one of those kid microphone toy . you do not really hear it much in music , but once you listen to something with someone talking , you notice it big time . there be a sort of static produce when I listen to FLAC or anything close to that quality level . the sound be fairly clear , but seem to be muffle with any kind of rock music . it sound awesome for techno , dubstep , and hiphop , but I think even there you may want some more bass . another thing I hear a ton of people complain about these thing hurt they head . I mean ... really they do stretch people . I leave these thing on my computer case -lrb- a bit bigger than a head -rrb- about three night and viola ! perfect comfortable fit . I think I will be return these ... and i get they on sale for about $ 48 ; still not worth it . I think I be finally go to join the athm50 club . tl ; dr headphone look cool , comfortable , but the sound just be not there I have even hear that Koss PortaPros sound better , but can not confirm that on my own merit . +56 Headphone NEU 3 they be ok . for $ 15 or so , they be great for the price but as a whole , just ok . I prefer my phillip in ear `` virtual surround sound '' better . +59 Headphone POS 4 good radio , excellent sound . only complaint be once you put the arm band on , you can not adjust the volume easily because its `` lock '' so it will not move as you run . you pretty much have to remove the radio from you arm and adjust the volume because of the lock tab . other than that , its a decent radio . +284 Headphone NEU 3 for the price I buy the headphone for they be acceptable and work well enough . the biggest problem I have have so far be that for some reason the signal seem to be interfere with my wireless internet . my internet connection do not work within the range of the docking station for the headphone , and as soon as I turn off the unit my internet connection be fine again . I mostly watch movie and tv show through the internet , so this be a problem for I . otherwise they work fine and be comfortable enough . if you do not need to use the internet while you be use the headphone then they be a good price for what you get . and it be nice to be able to charge the headphone instead of have to put in new battery . +889 Headphone POS 5 Ok , first thing to point out here : these headphone be not my primary one . now , the only purpose this headphone have be for I to listen exclusively to my guitar when it be plug to the computer during night hour . I buy they because of the price -lrb- I be not go to spend $ 100 on headphone I seldom use -rrb- and because I need something capable of give a good bass . the good : they be really comfortable , and the sound quality be really more than what I expect . they weigh about half a pound , which be really light . there be a switch in the headphone that , after thorough research and testing , only limit the bass and lower treble , but be useful for watch movie , as it give the illusion of enhance voice . another plus be that the cord be long -lrb- 138 in exactly -rrb- . the not so good : the volume limit be low . this , off course , derive from the fact that the bigger the headphone , the more energy it take to make they work , and when not use top-notch material , you get a lower volume limit . this be list in the `` not so good '' instead of the `` bad '' section because they sound loud enough -lrb- I do not listen in the maximum volume anyway -rrb- , but some people just like it loud . the bad : the switch make a awful sound when you `` switch '' it while have it on . +736 Headphone POS 5 these be the most comfortable earbud I have find . my ear be easily irritated by hard round ear piece and even `` marshmallow '' type become uncomfortable after a few minute . these feel custom make with the very flexible ear piece cover . the variety of ear piece cover can give most people the same comfortable fit and great sound . love the variety of color too ! +697 Headphone POS 4 the review from some people on this site have I concern that upon use my new headphone , the cable would turn to jelly and the product would become worthless . that have not happen yet , and I be loving these headphone . they block noise out with the snug fit , and they sound great . I enjoy listen to all type of music , especially track with intricate , bass heavy beat , like those of Kanye West , for example . I be hold onto my warranty , which I believe be 2 month . so far , so good . +904 Headphone POS 5 these headphone be the best I have find . they do not fall out of you ear -lrb- if you have that problem -rrb- and they do not move at all when run ! +549 Headphone NEU 3 I get these for christmas . sound quality be good but be there another adapter for this product that have the mic and audio with it ??? my lenovo only have a jack for the audio ! +814 Headphone POS 5 for those of you that live -lrb- d -rrb- in apartments\/dorms , you know how noisy thing can be from time to time . after get feed up with my roommate and surround neighbor with they loud music , I speak with a friend of mine about some headphone for under $ 50 that do a good job block out background noise . he direct I to these Sony 's . consider the amazing deal I get these through Amazon , I be more than pleased . I take off the rubber fitting around the speaker and notice how small the speaker be . I have to say , these headphone do a excellent job ! three different rubber fitting size attach to the ear bud to make a seal , which then keep the background noise , out . it be also amazing the amount of bass these produce be amazing consider the size . they produce extremely good , clear sound ... as oppose to the .5 watt speaker in my lcd monitor . the case include be great ... I use these when walk to class , and then store they in the hard plastic case to protect they . I would not however recommend use they for you headset while exercise ... they seem a tad bit fragile where the connection of the wire meet the speaker . the extension cord be extremely handy to . if you be try to save some $ , and want some clear sound with a little bass , these should defiantly be consider . +835 Headphone POS 5 not much to say for these headphone : amazing sound awesomely long cord length very worthwhile a great -lrb- yet a bit tight -rrb- fit +513 Headphone POS 5 buy this headphone for my 14 yr old son . and for those of we with teenager , well you no how picky they can be . but low and behold , he love they ! he attach the headphone to he cell phone -lrb- droid -rrb- and it really sound great . I have no complaint . +401 Headphone NEU 3 nice out of the box ... sound good for most music type with noise cancellation on . Audio be poor with nc off . but if you really wanna shut periperal sound out u might want to get a in-ear canal ` phone instead of this . I can still hear my wife nagging with nc on so it doesnt block out all noise . have it for 2 year ... shelve it for 3 month and now the nc function doesnt work , no sound whatsoever when nc be switch on , and poor sound when its off . the plastic portion 's still alright , but the foam cushion over the ear piece have split and start to show . it be good while it last . +436 Headphone POS 5 Easy to setup and work really well . able to move about my whole house while listen to my music with no interference . +330 Headphone POS 5 I have to admit that I be dubious of these when I first see they . ear fin do not seem like they would be comfortable , and I could see how it would be a problem . at first it be a little strange , but after use they for a while I do not even notice the fin anymore . the sound be good for ear bud that be only use to work out , and I actually use they just walk around . the bright yellow be a little intense for my taste , but nobody really seem to notice unless I point it out . these work great for what they be intend for . the extension cable do not degrade the sound enough to matter at all , I actually do not notice any degradation , and since I do not own a ipod shuffle , some of the report problem with that system -lrb- which seem like a design flaw that that product more that this one -rrb- do not exist for I . very happy with this purchase overall . it should be note that those who be worry about different size ear should be able to find something close to they size in the pile of extra that come with this ear bud set . the downside would be that they be not as high perform as some of the other sennheiser audio listen device . this be not all that surprising consider they be not design for in depth listening but be active , and in that they excel . even jump around for four hour strait and slinging heavy box around do not move these out of place . bottom line : highly recommend for work out , but if you want to sit and listen to music I would suggest a different model . +113 Headphone NEG 2 these be $ 10 headphone . there be nothing amazing about they in my opinion . I buy they to use with my ipod when I be out , or at work . right out of the box , I be disappoint with the fit , and I know everyone be go to be different , but for I they just be not comfortable . the sound quality be clear , but very thin and lack bass . even when I be press they into my ear to get the best possible fit , the bass just be not good . eq setting to boost the bass do not help either , and often reduce sound quality even more . the ear clip do not really seem to do that much either . they kind of keep they on you ear but do not really hold they in you ear at all . the ear piece tend to get tangle together easily as well . in summary , I would not recommend these for music , but if you want a cheap pair of headphone for listen to audio book or some other kind of speak word , they might be good-if you can tolerate they in you ear for that long . +313 Headphone NEU 3 these thing be crazy durable , and the non tangle cord work great , the sound quality be just ok . but these if you need some really tough head phone . +140 Headphone NEG 1 I be not sure if it be because I live in a appartment building or because I have power line outside my living room window -lrb- I live on the 2nd floor so they be right at my level -rrb- or if people in my neighborhood use a lot of 900mhz phone but the sound quality be simply awful . my only purpose be to be able to play game on my xbox without bother anybody else so I be not even talk about a audiophile seek crystal clear and rich sound , a decent sound clarity would have enough for I . sit no more than 7ft from my tv , sound get cut-off and the static go from bad to unbearable when you adjust the dial on the base . same result with regular tv broadcast and when plug into my laptop playing music . I do not know if the product be bad or if my environment make it work poorly but if you be consider this brand\/model make sure you have the ability to return it ! I guess I 'll go back to my previous solution : standard headphone with a 15ft extension cable , which be fine since I do not need to be move around . +419 Headphone POS 4 still one of the best fitting and best value headphone . I buy 'em 10 at a time for my child . +248 Headphone POS 4 I have try a few Wireless -lrb- rf -rrb- headphone for view and listen to tv while my wife be sleep . I have try some budget product as well as high-end one . the Sennheiser rs120 be the only one I have decide to keep . the charge cradle be convenient , the audio quality be quite good , and the setup be quite easy . and , the price be not that much more than some of the budget item on the market . on other model , the tuning feature could be painful and inconsistent . each night , I would have to re-tune the headset with the base which be quite annoying . the rs120 be fairly easy and I do not lose the setting from night-to-night . only thing prevent I from give it full 5 star be the noise leak from the headphone . my wife be quite sensitive so I have to keep the volume low so as not to disturb she . better sound insulation would make this a 5-star product . +920 Headphone NEU 3 good for speech or other non music use . plastc headband not very comfortable for extend use . low price make this headset disposable and worth buying . probably good for kid use . +102 Headphone POS 5 I buy this to repair the IR headset transmitter on a alpine pkgrse2 overhead dvd player . this work as well , and be much more cost efficient than send the unit back for repair , which would be second repair of the IR . headphone be also more comfortable , and the factory headphone that come with the Alpine still work , as the same frequency be use . +778 Headphone POS 5 I bring this to workout in a gym . it be not the slickest style but sturdy and not bulky . it take only one AAA battery which can last for a long time . for what I have pay for , the sound quality be better than expect . +886 Headphone POS 5 I be a drummer , and be look for some good , professional look and sound in ear monitor . I be think about spend $ 99 plus for a pair of Shure in ear 's . but then I find these , for only $ 17 !! they look so professional , like pro drummer wear these . for the price , they can not be beat ! +979 Headphone POS 4 this be my first experience with buying and use noise cancel headphone and I do not claim to be a expert at matter concern audio accessory . the headphone , though , work and function accord to my expectation for and understanding of noise cancel headphone . the retractable , self store cord for the plug be a add bonus and the comfort adjustment make use they a pleasant experience . +945 Headphone POS 5 I have be want wireless tv headphone for year . I have read a recommendation from Kim Komando about Sennheiser and decide to order they . I search Amazon , find they and decide to get the middle-of the road model from those offer . I be not pleased that these headphone do what I want they to do . they range reach all part of my home but there be a awful pronounced hiss always and dead spot even at 10-15 foot . so far the charge last a long time . I would not buy they again . be look for another product without these shortcoming . I would give they 2 star . this be a re-review from my last and ithe editing procedure will not allow I to change my original star rating of 5 to 2 star . +115 Headphone POS 5 my wife have fit the earplug to she ear and it really seem to fit she well . if she ear would have be very different , they still would have fit just fine as there be plenty of optional size include . the length and strength of the cord be bonus because she use the elliptical machine and the treadmill at the gym regularly , so she do not have to be right on top of the earphone jack for it to reach . that be a small review , but she really like the earphone . I 'll have to get she to give a more in depth review . +968 Headphone POS 5 Alright , im not a music professional and i dont record . but i have these for around the house use and trip and they be simply amazing . a lot of people say these be uncomfortable but that a lie . these thing be great . I wear they from Philidelphia to Montreal and they didnt bother I a bit . I also be they when i mow the lawn and they keep the noise down low so i can actually hear my music . the only real problem be that they dont have the greatest bass in the world but all of its other feature make up for it . Worth the money . +229 Headphone NEU 3 we buy two pair of these and they work reasonably well of the price . sound quality be so-so , noise-cancelling be good , but the piece of plastic that hold the headphone open -lrb- when unfold -rrb- be go to break . we also have both pair lose sound in one sound over time . we do not treat thing roughly or use they all that much . anyway , while they work they be a decent deal and if you figure you can have five pair of these for the same price as one of the bose it might be acceptable . +777 Headphone NEU 3 not a bad product , but need some improvement for `` big head '' people . it get real uncomfortable after a while and could really use some type of adjustment . the sound be ok except for some minor background buzz . +151 Headphone POS 5 as one who be very particular when it come to sound quality and overall quality , I can only highly recommend this product . I have own several other wireless headset by different manufacturer only to be disappoint . this Sony headset be by far one of the best I have have . the headset itself only look cheap at first glance , but be actually very lightweight and easy to use . the sound quality be much better than expect and I get perfect reception-i have not experienced ANY hiss or static whatsoever . a major plus be that you simply hook it up , turn it on and enjoy it-no search for channel , no adjust this or that-nothing . I also like the fact that you can use the include rechargable battery or normal aaa battery in this unit . overall , I be extremely happy with this purchase and would encourage anyone else in the market for a product like this to buy it ... now ! +286 Headphone POS 5 I could believe when i find this radio . i have go to many store and they all tell I the same answer `` they stop make it '' . i have buy 2 of these on this site cause i love this one . the signal be the best signal i have get every where i be at , city , mountain and desert . easy to use , carry and very small . love it , love it , love it . the only thing bad with this be the battery life , i have to change it every 3 day , but with rechargegable battery be not a problem . +712 Headphone POS 4 just get mine this morning , have listen to they for about 1\/2 hour . the first impression I have be `` what the heck ! '' there be some nasty hissing sound , even when I be not play any music . I be happy to say that this have go away . it be dead silent when I pause my music now - do not give up . the cord be long . if you want to be 10 foot away , that be great . however , the belt clip be handy if you want to keep you player in you pocket . I 'll warn that it be a big clip - it be at least a inch thick and wide , and probably 4.5 '' long . this belt clip definitely go on you belt . for now , though , it be hold the excess next to my computer . the ear cup do a great job of silencing ambient noise , and even people talk nearby . they be supra-aural , not circum-aural , which mean they sit on top of you ear . they be soft and light , but they apply a little too much pressure to my ear IMHO . they be get warm . I be sure I 'll get use to it . the sound quality , as you know , be great -lrb- after the initial hissing -rrb- . it be balanced - what you expect to hear from you music . not tinny or bass-heavy at all . if you want to hear lot of bass , you can set you equalizer that way - they play what you send they . I have not have a long time to estimate the build quality , but they seem about right for the price . I be surprise by all the plastic . aside from the glossy ring around the ear and Sennheiser logo , they be flat black . they feel pretty cheap , but other have rate they durability highly . nothing make I think they would sound great before I put they on . I would not recommend gift they to a audiophile , unless they take some time to burn they in . I also would not recommend they to someone look for super-cheap headphone , even though they be price that way ! they sound too good for that . +371 Headphone NEU 3 the music to which I listen for this review be -lrb- the whole album -rrb- : the Rolling Stones - sticky Fingers Led Zeppelin - physical graffitus Tool - Aenima Radiohead - ok computer OutKast - Aquemini The Black Keys - Rubber Factory I 'll start with the sound quality . for they price range , it be about par . when you pay this much for headphone , the great sound quality should not be that big of a surprise . obviously , compare to $ 20 headphone , they be go to sound spectacular . however , the bass be hardly existent . and they be super quiet . I have to have my volume at least 3\/4 of the way to full blast on my mp3 player to enjoy it . and that be in a quiet setting . at work -lrb- warehouse setting -rrb- , I almost have to have the music deafeningly loud , and that be not good for my hearing . the quietness would be manageable if these headphone block out even a little bit of ambient noise . they do no such thing . you can hear everything around you . I realize they be not noise canceling , but I have a pair of Shure 's over the ear headphone -lrb- shure srh840 professional monitoring earphone -lrb- black -rrb- but they block out a good amount of noise . heck , with my $ 14 Auvio earbud from Radioshack that I buy for use while run , I only have to have my volume about 1\/3 of the way up , and that be plenty . and I have to take they out to hear people talk to I at work . the noise leakage be well document here , so I 'll save space by leave that out . for intangible , I 'll start with the audio cable . the end be not a `` l '' , so it plug straight in to you mp3 player . it come lose and out easily if you be move around . also , the attachment be for the 3.5 mm jack -lrb- for mp3 player -rrb- , instead of the other way around , so you have a monstrous jack to plug into you mp3 player . the cable be some 35 foot long , so it be not good for put you mp3 player into you pocket while work . that would be fine if the cable be detachable , because you could buy a shorter one to plug in , but , alas , it be not . which bring I to a point : if you cable become distressed or be , say , chew up by you dog or cat , you have to get whole new headphone , not just a audio cable . on style , they be pretty nice look . the build quality seem decent , but not heavy duty . however , I buy these after return my shure , because they be almost 1\/2 the weight -lrb- ! -rrb- , but these headphone be still huge , and look fairly goofy on I at work . you would think with all that room , they could fit in a better bass driver and noise canceling . honestly , what be in these speaker size headphone ? why be they so big ? I will say they be comfortable to wear , and my ear get warm after 8 hour at work , but not hot . they be light and can be wear all day -lrb- as oppose to the shure -rrb- . in conclusion , I be almost upset at the product I receive . at the very least , severely disappointed . the sound quality be great , but nothing more than most other at this price range , and even less , factor in lack of bass and quietness . the intangible make these almost completely impractical at work , and\/or with a mp3 player . my search for a practical set of mid range audiophile headphone continue ... +226 Headphone POS 5 I use this to watch tv when my husband sleep in we bedroom . the sound quality be great . I live on 3.29 acre and I can go to the back of my property and go into a metal barn and still hear the tv . I wish the earphone be a little smaller and fit my head a little tighter , but this would definitedly not stop I from purchase this or recccomend it to other . +10 Headphone POS 5 before purchase this product , I have be read about people recommend the Sennheiser hd555 's and whatnot and it concern I if the ad700 's be really the better deal . what I really want be a set of headphone that could be use for gaming and watch movies\/listening to music in general . as soon as the headphone arrive I be blow away by the soundstage that it carry . I play game such as cs 1.6 and previously with my old headphone I could hear the general location of where thing be , and with these new headphone I could hear the precise location of where every grenade land , to the extent that it shock I . as I be grind the headphone in for the first few hour the sound quality seem a little weak at first , but as soon as a week or two pass by the sound become amazing . I enjoy these headphone so much that even as I be wear they I feel like I be listen to my surround sound speaker . a thing to note that it be hard to adjust to the switch of use headphone mainly compare to speaker -lrb- as I do not realize how loud the headphone actually be since I forget that I be use headphone and not the speaker , mean the loud sound you get at that close range might be dangerous -rrb- . all in all , the headphone be fantastic and worth the money , as I doubt I will be need any new replacement in the future . oh and , the appearance of the headphone in person do not look as cheap as it seem on the picture you see ; actually , they seem like high-class headphone , a luxurious set of headphone make with lovely material that make you feel like a king . +200 Headphone POS 4 after wear these headphone for 30 minute , my ear begin to hurt . I be not sure if I be wear they wrongly , but these headphone press my ear against my head . because these be closed ear headphone , you should expect the discomfort normally associate with wear headphone for a extended period of time . so , it be a good idea to remove the headphone every so often . however , discomfort should not include cause my ear to hurt . the sound be pretty good for the price . I would not say it be great ; my Harmon Kardon speaker be better . I use these headphone to listen to audio when my roommate be in the room . these headphone come with a volume control as part of the cord . I do not use the mute button because you have to hold it down , but I just turn the volume all the way down if I need to . countless time I have drop the headphone , bang it , yank it when the cable be catch on something , but the headphone still work . the 2 meter cable be nice and long , longer than the usual 2-5 foot you usually get . my final recommendation : if you be look for cheap cheap headphone with good audio , get these , but do not wear they for exten period of time . +869 Headphone POS 5 these headphone be amazing . they be lightweight and very comfortable . if you be to simply listen with they , without know the price , you would believe the sound be come from a pair of very expensive headphone . +891 Headphone POS 4 the SENNHEISER PMX SPORT be ABSOLUTLEY great for all use , indoors and out . very comfortable to wear and great sound . DO NOT HINDER in ANY WAY a activity . +767 Headphone NEG 1 it may just be the specific pair I receive but the construction quality of these headphone be terrible . the play\/pause button on my headset be already break upon arrival and the call button break after a few hour of light use . they be very comfortable though . +380 Headphone POS 4 I recently buy these for a vacation I be go on . mainly only use they on the airplane . could use they but the engine noice be very noticable . for the money they do well and in all fairness they preformed as I think they would . if you look for headphone that cancel out noice not the headphone for you but if you look for a reasonable sound under normal condition they not bad . +491 Headphone POS 4 Got these for my wife and I to use on a airplane trip . figure I could use they at home some too . the quality be about what you would expect for $ 43 . the noise cancellation be okay and the sound be pretty good . I compare they to my isolation ear bud and they definitely have better sound . then I compare they to the Bose Quitecomfort 15 -lrb- airport store have they out to try -rrb- and it be night and day . the noise cancellation on the bose be far superior , but for $ 300 they should be . also , I think these be around the ear like the bose , but turn out they sit on the ear . I prefer around the ear like the bose . the cord roll up into the headset which be very convenient , but it be a little finicky sometimes . it be plastic and the spring roll up be very weak . I worry it will break one day . overall , my wife and I both enjoy they and they be worth $ 43 . I do not think I would pay full price -lrb- $ 79 -rrb- for these though . +585 Headphone POS 5 look for inexpensive , close headphone , I almost buy some cheapy at my local department store , but hold off due to disappointing sound & build quality . boy , be I glad I wait . I start look for more expensive & better quality headphone . I find the latter . at a couple buck -lrb- as in 2 or 3 -rrb- more than the cheapie , I get just what I want : outstanding sound reproduction for all sort of music type and noise damp with the closed cup -lrb- my wife complain when I wear they to listen to news\/music in bed -- she 'll be talk to I and realize a minute later that I have not hear a word -rrb- . this be great value , in my book . comfort have not be a issue ; I 'll wear they for hour without a thought . I suppose if you do not care for pressure on you ear ... probably other , similar headphone might be more comfortable for some , but could they match the sound quality and price , too ? I doubt it . +849 Headphone POS 4 Philips O'Neill `` the Snug '' Headphones after look at hundred of headphone online , and struggle between go all-out on a $ 100 + pair of fancy-pants bose -lrb- or cool\/hipster\/music aficionado equivalent -rrb- , or slumming -lrb- again -rrb- in the $ 15 - $ 20 range , I finally settle on these cuty . context : I use headphone on a daily basis in my office - I have a peach of a coworker who like to tap he pen , suck he tooth , talk to himself , laugh at inappropriate topic and time ... you get the idea . I be literally unable to focus without my bless , bless music . previously , I be use the Koss Titanium open air headphone . at the time I purchase they , I be in a customer-service role , of sort , and need to be able to hear if someone be knock on the door . -lrb- a quick note on the Koss headphone : Great , great sound for a inexpensive set , but the thin foam ear `` pad '' wear through quickly and now the plastic surface jab into my ear ... sad panda . -rrb- those be a satisfactory solution , provide great sound when the music be on , but not block any of the adjacent maddening , irritating noise I do not want to hear ... a necessary evil at that time . no more . the door-answering responsibility have be transfer -lrb- to the noisy neighbor , coincidentally -rrb- and I be free to work in musical oblivion . review : typical disclaimer here - I be not a music expert nor be I able to expound on the technical variances\/driver difference , frequency range , etc. . sound - Nice , clear , balanced . the base be not ear-drum thumping ; it be definitely there , but not unpleasantly overwhelming . I think the description on the box be `` dynamic . '' that be a good word - as other reviewer have point out , and something I do not understand until I put these on , the closed vs. open feature be noticeably different . open-air phone make it sound like you be in the recording studio where the musician be play - every detail be present , and the sound be `` big '' and seem omni-directional . closed phone do not diminish the quality or the sound , but it feel like you be closer - instead of sit in that room , you be sit right in front of the speaker - it be a very unidirectional sound . comfort - if I do not wear earring , these would probably be perfect . as it be now , they be significantly more comfortable than the Koss phone , but do -lrb- right now -rrb- tend to smoosh my ear and jab the back of my earring into the skin behind my ear ... I do not expect otherwise , really . I could eliminate this problem by either a -rrb- not wear earring - ha ! or b -rrb- wear in-ear headphone , which I absolutely despise . the padding on the top be NICE . I do like this feature , and there be no rubbery\/silicone band that catch on my hair -lrb- koss , I be call you out , again . -rrb- appearance - totally subjective , but I adore the purple plaid . I be 30 year old , so I should not be such a nerd , right ? whatever - I like colorful thing , and these might make I look silly , but they also make I smile : -rrb- I provide a couple snapshot to give you a better idea of the scale -lrb- that be one of my concern , since I do not want to look like a helicopter pilot or a bubble head . -rrb- one last note on the `` noise isolation '' - other have note that these do not block out all noise and they be right . instead , irritating noise be muffle significantly . so , in between track , when my favorite person in the next cubicle be mumble incoherently and giggle like a drunk dental patient , all I hear be `` shhhwwemmmmemem '' . so much better ! +132 Headphone POS 4 Headset be a little big , but pretty comfortable . Works great -lrb- we have it in we bedroom , so the signal be go only about 10 ft , but sound awesome -rrb- . the only complaint be : Headset be big there be a faint hummimg noice -lrb- barely noticeable -rrb- when listen to the tv . not sure if it be the headset or the channel or the tv , but if you listen for it , you will notice it . I would rate this item a - +949 Headphone POS 4 these light weight comfortable headphone really do sound great . . I would know because I be use they right now !! after switch from my 40 dollar koss one I can immediately tell the difference . when use the hd 477 's you will hear new sound in every song you listen to that you old older headphone could not bring out . every sound be clear and that bass be better than expect in my opinion . the only little problem I have with these headphone be that if you leave they on too long they can tend to bother you ear a bit , but maybe that just I . for a affordable price the hd 477 's be most deff worth it !! +2 Headphone POS 5 cheap and just as good as bose qc ! well worth the price !!! Have have no problem with remanufactured goods from amazon ! +416 Headphone POS 5 due to the fine quality and affordable price of this product , I now sleep peacefully at night while my husband be able to watch he favorite late night show . thank you Sony for bring peace into we bedroom again ! +739 Headphone POS 4 the sound be very good but the thing cut out too easily with head movement and certainly do not try to get up and get a coke . it be static unless you be directly in front of it and hold still . +537 Headphone NEG 2 the behind the ear hook be a clear plastic that be really soft and have no real hold and the in the ear part look odd and bulky not the best idea the volume control be nice , and there be good sound +645 Headphone POS 5 I deal primarily with $ 200 - $ 500 circumaural audiophile headphone ... with dedicated headphone amp , lossless audio , the whole 9 yard ... but that stuff tend to be ill-suited for exercise and portable use . I want a good sound headphone that be portable and preferably cheap . well . . these headphone at low-medium volume decimate many other I have hear that go for $ 50 or more ... and at the moment they be sell for a mere $ 14 . I have own many brand of headphone and many level of quality , from consumer mp3 player stock earbud , DJ headphone , and many audiophile can , from Sennheiser , Denon , AKG , bose -lrb- bleh -rrb- , and Shure . there be no question in my mind that these be among the best there be for cheap , portable headphone . con : although the sound and value be phenomenal , they can be a bit awkward to put on or wear ... it just take some get use to . heavily recommend for anyone seek a first non-stock set of headphone , or anyone that need a decent quality headphone for the go . I be a audiophile snob , and I have no idea that I would ever see the day where I could get by on a pair of $ 14 headphone . +908 Headphone POS 5 buy these bose headphone because I want a better pair to listen to music on my ipad , iPhone etc. ... these be very true ! they really bring out the high and low and let you feel the music . headphone really be cool for let you hear all the great stereo effect use in the recording of the song . check 'em out ! you , too , will dig 'em . +235 Headphone POS 5 Got these for eight dollar ... great purchase . the sound quality be outstanding for such a low price . I can pick out instrument I have never hear before in some song . +452 Headphone POS 4 I just get they and they be super comfortable . I almost can not feel they around my ear . great bass response ... just all around great product . +771 Headphone NEG 2 i recently receive the above list product , and it work fine at first . but when i unplugged it and then plug it back in later , it would not work . i try put in battery , still nothing . the headset seem to work ok . i only seem to get spanish station , witch i do not think be there fault , but i find it worth mention . while it be work , i have great reception thru out my house , my computer be upstairs and i be in the basement . one other thing that bother I be that whenever you have it on the radio mode , and you put you hand near the left ear piece , it would get very distorted , and would sometimes change station all together . which , consider you have to keep hit the scan button to find a good station , be really suckish . +344 Headphone NEU 3 as far as connectivity and sound go , this headphone be great . price\/performance be magnificent . when it come to design : they just kill my ear ! I can just wear they for a few minute . every time I use they , my ear will hurt until the next day . Poor design . they should have give they a little bit more room and put some cushion on top . +422 Headphone POS 4 product feature : 3-setting eq 10-hour lithium battery miniusb charge removable belt clip 3.5 mm input and output detail : - sound test : work pretty well with earphone \/ headphone , noticeable increase in quality of sound and bass response ! - build : the design and build have improve a lot and have a blue \/ red led indicator and a belt clip - value : at the current price this be worth it , increase sound output - Summary : recommend for user : at the gym \/ on flight \/ at a noisy place ... etc also check out the fiio e17 if you look for something higher as this be just a basic headphone\/earphone amplifier ! +415 Headphone POS 5 I would say that these be a great value for the price . I like a lot of bass , but there be not a overwhelming amount of bass . the treble be crisp and cymbal be not pingy , they be crisp and precise . for the price of $ 14.99 , these earphone be a incredible value . the treble be crisp , the bass be great . and consider I have a 200 watt infinity sub on my home system , I know good bass when I hear it . these earphone be comfortable and sound great . I use they everyday at school with my portable cd player , and let I say I be extremely satisfy with they . consider I purchase these to replace a pair of $ 75 Sony Earphones , and I be more satisfied with these , I be extremely impressed . the only reason I can think of why somebody would give these a bad review , be if they purchase a pair of Sennheiser pro series which run minimum $ 150 a pair . these earphone have the best quality for the money ! do not pass these up ! +363 Headphone POS 4 these headphone be pretty good for the price that you pay , however , what be kind of a disappointment be the fact that the microphone be not as great as I be anticipate . I really like the innovative play\/pause\/next and back track button on the base of where the mic be situate . a little piece of advisory , if you be a person that like to workout and go run -lrb- as i do , do not use these earphone ! if you sweat so happen to enter through the hole that be designate for the microphone , then you earphone be do for . but the great thing be they customer service , after a quick registration and request for a new earphone , expect it there within a few business day . overall these be great earphone to use casually , beware of the non water proof mic ! +810 Headphone POS 4 they be ship and receive when promise . the sound be very good . the only negative be the cost to send they to I -lrb- postage be way out of line -rrb- +144 Headphone NEU 3 I buy these as a upgrade from some very nice Sony IR wireless headphone that lack in audio quality and range that be about the same price as these headphone 6 yr ago when I get they . these headphone be a huge sonic upgrade . I love the sound quality , I love that it be rf and I can walk into another room . the stand be fair , the headphone be reasonably comfortable . there be a lineout on the back of the stand so that these headphone can sit between you source and another device -- for I , these be plug into a computer and I have some cheap speaker downstream . it be nice not to have to re-cable or adjust thing to change the sound output . previously I be use a rackmount headphone amp to serve a similar purpose . I also own sennheiser noise cancel headphone and the top-of-the-line hd 800s . I really like Sennheiser headphone . however , where these fall hugely short be usability . first , there be two power button , one on the headphone and one on the stand . this be ridiculous -- the Sony headphone these replace have 0 power button . lift the headphone off the stand should turn on both the stand and the headphone . the user do not should have to do both . the Sony headphone also have a ingenious on\/off build into the band of the headphone that would conserve battery life by turn off the headphone when they be not on my head . I be sure Sony have patent this but Sennhesier need to figure out something similar . so when I want to use these headphone , it take I several attempt at hit button to get thing on and go . it be frustrating and it be distract . there be a light on the headphone that flash when the power be turn on\/off , but unlike , say , my Plantronics bluetooth ear bud , it do not change color for on\/off , so I never know if I be turn it on or off . I can not tell from the base either . the headphone come with a complex grid of lead blink rate and what they all mean , but who have time to sit down with a headphone manual ? great sound and so I keep they , but the usability suck really bad . I might try the newer Sony model at some point . +207 Headphone NEG 2 as a break college student , I order these try to save money . they arrive past the estimate arrival day and stop work three week later . do not waste you money on these , invest in a better pair of headphone because if you purchase these , you be go to have to buy new one soon anyway . +365 Headphone NEU 3 I never review item , but I feel compel to review these headphone . I really like the headphone . I have have a number of earbud over the year . these be among the better one I have have and they be a very good value in my opinion . however , I would not buy these again because of how horrible the packaging be for this item . I defy you to find another item that be more difficult to open . it be encase in hard plastic with not place to easily cut open . plus , give the nature of the product -- thin wire earbud , you have to be careful when remove they . not a good combination . a fair warning to anyone that buy this product . +255 Headphone POS 5 I never realize how much a pair of better earbud could do for the quality of music . Bass be full and clear and I can hear thing I never hear before use the earbud that come with the ipod nano . great buy for the price . +149 Headphone POS 5 I do not care for the sound quality of compress mp3 or aac music file , so I want a pair of headphone that would allow I to hear all the nuance of my Apple Lossless rip music collection on my iPod Classic . so after read the headphone review on the Goodcans and Amazon web site , I decide to buy both the Grado SR80i 's and the Koss PortaPros . my thinking be this , I would listen to both headphone , choose the best sound pair and return the other . both headphone be highly rate and both be fairly inexpensive , but since I would be use the headphone at work , I want to make sure the sound leakage from the very open style of the Grados would not be a problem . after test both headphone , I determine the sound leakage of the Grados be a problem , but the sound quality be so good , I decide to keep the Grado SR80i 's for home use and use the Koss PortaPros at work . since this review be suppose to be about the Grado SR80i 's , let I just add these final comment . the Grado SR80i 's be the first pair of open style headphone I have never own , and I can say without any doubt they be the best sound headphone I have ever listen to . I be hear detail in my music that I never new be there , which be simply amazing for a pair of headphone that sell for under $ 100 . you will not be disappoint in this purchase . +578 Headphone NEG 1 so why David Guetta use Sennheiser hd25 ??? beat be very expensive and the sound Quality be not great , I use to have the Solo , Studio , and finally buy the hd25 ... and be cheaper and better for a big difference than beat ! +820 Headphone NEG 1 it take a long time for the dealer to get it ship . I receive the headphone and be very pleased with the sound and fit at first . but it never fail , the same thing that happen to my other Sennheiser headphone happen here . the usb male port adapter lose connection to the full sound . I maybe use it 5 time . I just cut my loss of have to deal with the particular dealer . my suggestion be to go and purchase a 15 dollar pair from you local retail store . they will surely last longer . they have the fit and look down but not the durability . +173 Headphone POS 5 Panasonic RP-HT21 Lightweight Headphone be very good . I have more than one set . price , be more than good and sound quality be outstanding for what I use they for . again , a good buy . +529 Headphone POS 5 I have be use these headphone for year . every time I break they or lose they , I go back and buy this same exact model . the be the most comfortable for my ear -lrb- normal in ear bud be very uncomfortable for I -rrb- .

I start look for a home theater system around the holliday . in the paper , magazine , on the web , and in the store . with all different kind of model and size its hard to decide what right for you . finally I decide I would just start with a simple home set up and improve from there because I do not want to pump a bunch of money in a electronics package that be too expensive or just overwhelming . I come across radio shack look for a new phone and think I would just check they out . to my astonishment they do . I download the pdf file of the manual with the spec -lrb- I will not go into all of those -rrb- and price for comparison to other system . I be also get a game console that have a dvd player -lrb- since I do not own one I could kill two bird with one stone -rrb- and want the best sound I could get without take out a loan . after look around I decide to get this system because I do not have to worry about separate multiple piece , most small system do not even have 500w , and for the money if I do not like it then I could take it back or give it to someone as a gift : - -rrb- upon inspect the system I find it fairly easy to set up . the line be color code to the specific speaker and the manual be pretty self explanitory . my wife want the speaker to be mount up on the wall -lrb- they have a service for that as well -rrb- so it be put in we den\/kitchen -lrb- call a morning room -rrb- and though the speaker look a little big they look fine after be install -lrb- ceiling be at least 12-15 ft high -rrb- . let I tell you that the sound that this system produce be truly wonderful if you be look for a starter or even and intermediate package this be it .

I be go to return it . +79 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 after a little dd , I finally decide to purchase this system . boy be I happy I do . the sound quality be incredible , and even though I be unable to put the rear speaker behind for the full surround sound experience , I be quite pleased with what this system be capable of . there be numerous input so you can hook-up you vcr , dvd , playstation , gamecube , etc. . there be nothing like play Grand theft auto and actually feel each bullet from the subwoofer . with the click of a button , I can change the receiver from my shoot-em-up game to a nice evening of classical music . when you can sit there and actually hear the faint `` ding '' of the triangle in the background , you know you have a great sound system . item to note : 1 -rrb- this system come with a dvd player . 2 -rrb- the subwoofer be fairly large , but on many other system this be the case . it require a separate power source . 3 -rrb- the dvd player play dvd 's -lrb- of course -rrb- , cd 's , and mp3 's . 4 -rrb- the setup be fairly easy . there be different color of cable wire for the rear speaker , the front speaker , and the center speaker . 5 -rrb- there be two remote -lrb- one for the dvd player , and one for the receiver -rrb- +441 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 ... overall , I be very impress by the quality and value of this product . the system provide plenty of power for anyone with a small to mid-size room , and the clarity be better than one might expect from small home theater in a box speaker . the heart of the system be a 500 watt receiver build by Marantz -lrb- although sell under the Philips brand name -rrb- . the receiver have all the bell and whistle one would associate with any upper-end receiver . it have a wide array of input , and feature interactive menu that allow you to enter distance between speaker to properly adjust the volume level between the speaker component . all buyer should be aware however that this system do not decode DTS . you can only get Dolby Digital out of this machine . in my humble opinion though , it be virtually impossible to tell the two format apart unless you be use high-end equipment . the only realy drawback I see be that the reciever only have one digital optical input . if you be like I and have a dvd player and digital cable , that create a dilemna . it do have two coaxial digital input , but I personally do not like coax input as well as digital optical . the speaker be far better than those include with similar system by other manufacturer . the three array design of the center channel speaker be a nice touch and the front and surround channel be well compliment by the 100 watt subwoofer . when you turn it up , this system can really kick . if you want solid quality at a low price , this system be for you . it provide plenty of power for the average user and will add a whole new world to you home theater experience . +881 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be a great little system for the price . I have to return the first one because I have problem with the tv cut out while the sound continue . I replace the HDMI cable think it could be they , but it only happen when watch tv , not while play the Xbox etc. . after completely replace the system , I find it be actually the Motorola cable box & this system comflicting . the problem be the Motorola cable box drop signal every now and than , or the signal change . this cause the HDMI repeater on this unit to thing the system be turn off briefly and it try search the other hdmus connection for a signal . any hdmus repeater would probably have this same issue -lrb- unless it be a manual switch -rrb- the solution until Motorola can get they act together be to run a hdmus cable directly to the tv from the cable box . then run the optical out from the cable box to this unit . it be not a ideal solution but it fix the issue . you can find out more about this problem by search news group . I be not sure if Sony can fix this with a update or if it be a Motorola issue . other than the video issue , this be a great product for the price . do not let the above issue scare you off , because this unit have enough port to handle alot of different connection . +515 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I get it and send it back . part of it be break in the package . very loose and dont recommend . +592 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I buy and receive this unit and have have it about a week . it be ok for the price and a very entry level system . however , any video or audio buff will be very disappointed . this unit be average all the way around . the dvd player be a dvd player , nothing amazaing , the VCR work , the AM\/FM radio work but the antenna and reception be way below average these day , the sound be ok and possibly a bit below average for this low end unit . overall , for a 2nd system , a very small room , a child , etc this be a reasonable unit . for you main system there be many better option - seperate the VCR from the dvd home theater would get you a much better unit and then just pick up a low cost VCR . nothing impress I about this Toshiba . its barely average all the way around . own a higher end Toshiba , this be a disappointment . the remote control color scheme and reflectiveness make it very difficult to read , small button , confuse menu system , non-lighted remote . I give it 2 star because it do play dvd and video fine . however , its radio , sound , remote , and menu 's be way below average . better off with a cheapie end Koss , Audiovox , etc unit . this Toshiba replace a older broken go video unit for someone who require dvd\/vcr . the GO video unit be several year old and be consider entry level low end at the time . however , it perform better than the Toshiba . the GO video lack the CDRW , mp3 , AM\/FM , etc feature common on today 's current model though . to sum it up , I would pass this unit by and either look at the lower price unit or seperate component and spend more money on a better overall setup . +434 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I have never have anything but the audio come from the stereo speaker on my tv , and I be blow away the first time I hear this system . I buy this system brand new off of eBay for $ 250 total in late February 2004 and have be completely satisfied since . i like to relax in my room now and crank that sub all the way up untill my window rattle and the picture on the wall shake . it do take I a couple hour to get set-up becuase I go crazy in get everything just perfect in the setting . this system can get as loud as you would want for a small to medium size room . one of the main reason I get this be for pro Logic II decode on my Gamecube game , and wow it be awesome to hear on game that support it . but the real treat come when watch dvd in Digital or DTS . for the first time I experience true surround in my room and it be incredible . I recommend try Saving Private Ryan dvd in the first beach-landing scene with the bass crank all the way up to feel the explosion . the receiver be pretty straight-forward and easy to use if you read the manual first . some of the setting do not change the overall sound that much . I use different mode when I be listen to sound from different equipment ... Audio CDs - Dolby pro Logic II MUS mode dvd 's - cstex b movie mode Gamecube\/Radio - Dolby pro Logic II MOV mode overall a excellent budget system -lrb- a Sony too ! -rrb- . I recommend . +216 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 like the feature , but after set it up find the GUI be totally unusable . the remote send command , -lrb- I could see the red light on the reciever blink ... -rrb- but it would not respond ... it act like it be run Windows for the OS and be try to load outlook or something . LG customer service be useless . what a waste of time ! +660 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 set up be a breeze ; the speaker cable be color code and it take almost no time to get the system set up to hear a dvd . but , if one have poor eyesight or large finger , the very small remote will irritate you . I have two SONY electronic item , and both have a larger remote than for this SONY . set up the speaker be rather straightforward , although the distance one can select be fix multiple . one can , however , increase or decrease the decibel to compensate for each speaker . however , in set up the speaker , the system hit a tone on each speaker in sequence , and if there be a way to stop the sequence , I have not find it . I have a SONY tv -lrb- wega xbr -rrb- and could not figure out how to get the tv sound through the new speaker . a teenage boy -lrb- neighbor -rrb- give I the clue as how to do so , and change setting in the tv menu and the correct hook up solve that easily . since I have the tv sound through the new speaker , if one be view a dvd and then switch to the tv mode -lrb- from dvd mode to Tuner mode on the system -rrb- , it be the same as stop the dvd so beware -lrb- it be not a pause , it be a stop ! -rrb- the bottom line be that I be very pleased with the sound and the system be very compact . have a AM\/FM radio also build in will allow for diversity in listen to the system . SONY be offer a lot of value for the money . a slightly larger remote would have allow I to give this five star . +707 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 pro : I get this system to go exclusively with my xbox 360 -lrb- via digital optical output -rrb- and my hdtv , love the fact the package offer 720p ,1080 i up-conversion which be a plus , I have use this unit connected ina Sony Bravia xbr1 40 '' lcd hdtv via hdmus cable and the up-conversion feature work really well , the image be really sharp and noiseless . I be surprised with the sound quality , feature and user-friendly installation -lrb- do myself in 5 minute -rrb- . my unit do not show any sign of noise . Have say that you can not beat the package for $ 340 buck . I have also test the usb with my mp3 player Muvo and work wonderfully , overall I be very satisfied . get it via amazon from jr.com and it arrive in perfect state although it take a week to arrive . con : the receiver\/player be a bit larger when compare with other hti . once I open the manual be not very clear as how to properly use the digital optical output . not a big deal , but the remote control do not come with battery . it could have have a active subwoofer to make it a 10 . I have be use this unit now for almost 2 month . I be really satisfy with my purchase . +951 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 the rca rt151 be good for amplify a quiet tv in a small child 's bedroom . if you have a modern hdtv , you will need a toslink adapter , currently sell on amazon for $ 30 , so figure you add that to the price , or not if you have analog audio output . the rca rt151 be just not good for a primary home theater , amplify in a room larger than 10 foot by 10 foot , etc. . truth be you just can not hear the dialogue that well , even on full power . you control the speaker with a remote control , and the only way you know its working be with a light that flash on the bass . have trouble hear the rear speaker even with my ear two foot away from they . you can isolate audio channel with the remote , with separate speaker volume control for rear , center , sub , and front , and finally master . pro : - good for make a quiet tv , in a small quiet room , sound louder Cons : - not for use in a normal size living room - require toslink adapter - Toslink adapter muff the speaker -lrb- I could have have a defective toslink adapter -rrb- - full power do not compete with most tv speaker -80 watt system do not seem accurate , my 14 watt tv speaker seem like the dialogue be louder . - rear speaker feel underpowered , very quiet , therefore the surround sound effect be lose . overall , I would not recommend this . if you have a small room , you should purchase other 2.1 speaker . if you be look for a entry level home theater system , this be not the one . +605 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 all speaker be good to great with the exception of the sub , which really do not hit those low low that shake the room like a real theater . however , the price be a steal , if you pay 400 or less . Mine be on sale to draw people in to buy new tv , and it work ! $ 300 at Future Shop in Canada , own by best buy , I think . I could not resist , and definitely be happy . Denon and Sherwood have receiver -lrb- 5.1 -rrb- that can be find around 180 - 250 , so a theater for about $ 500 -lrb- and tax -rrb- . +542 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I expect this rca rt151 home Theatre System to crush my Durabrand HT-3917 Home theater system . and I be very disappointed . the RCA have 80-watt of power ! the Durabrand have only 40-watt . my durabrand be twice as loud ! ! ! and cost half as much ! ! ! rca be not the way to go . buy DURABRAND . +7 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I recently buy this system because the price be right . I be not sure what to expect . after I set it up I be amaze at the performace . I be a little concerned about the low wattage on the Subwoofer , but not after I set it up . I follow bose instruction from they website that say to put the sub 's port face into a courner . I do this and have to actually turn down the sub to half because there be actually too much bass ! +285 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 i get this unit free when i buy my t.v the sound be fantastic , but during period of quiet sound , i sometimes here a slight tone come from the speaker . it might just be the wire that come with the unit -lrb- the factory supply wire that come with a lot of these thing be average quality at best -rrb- . overall i be very happy with it and set up be simple . +225 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I buy this at christmas time . it sound alright but i could not help but notice the speaker kind of suck , except for the sub . I order some polk audio monitor 60 series ii tower and now my music sound great . the receiver be also pretty really really good and have many option to make it sound good . the biggest problem i have be that the stock wire be only like 24 g and when i run my back surround hardly any noise would come out of they due to loss of signal . after get better , thicker speaker wire , the system start to sing ! the speaker do not sound so bad anymore . actually they sound pretty good but i know they do not sound as good as my polk tower because during a movie they be a type writer and you could hear the typing from leave to center to right and every time it get to the center channel you would notice a different sound than that of the tower . definitely not as good as the polk . I run Dolby pro logic with for movie and direct for music which use the two tower and the sub only . sound amazing ! can not beat the price . you will laugh at people go to walmart to buy home theater because you know that do you home work be well worth it and you get the better deal . +470 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 the Samsung ht-c6600 be a great product for the price that I get it for . some review give it a low rating because of the sound . I think that the sound sound great and that that it be clear and crisp enough for I . I be not a audio file so it could be just ok for some . I think that it be a great start if you do not have a system now . one issue that I do have be connect it to my exist Linksys 54GWRT Wireless Router for Steaming Internet and Computer file . I have recently purchase a new Wireless Router because my Linksys be go on 4 year . hopefully , that will fix the issue . good buy and I would recommend it . +763 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I buy this and i find it really easy to install . the music quality be awsume and it rendor the sound effect very well in movie . if i have to say anything negative about this be while the sound effect and music seem to be very well rendore the volume for the people speak in the movie seem to be really low for some reason i find myself have to adjust the volume oftem just to hear they speak . i do not know if this be just a issue with the blue ray \/ dvd but i dont have this issue much when im just watch the Satelight tv station . but over all i be happy with it a i recomend this to other buy this its worth the price you pay . oh dont forget to buy the cable you will need the Dmi and fiber optic cable for the best quality it do not come in the box . as do most sony product for some reason . +137 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 fairly easy to set up to play music , but when it come to hook it up to you tv or gaming system , that be where it can get a bit confusing . nothing I could not figure out though . this system be set up in my bedroom -lrb- 20x20ft -rrb- , it get very loud ; any louder and I would be deaf . the only complaint I have be that I can not get my center speaker to play . I have my ipod hook up and all the other speaker be play except for that one . that be the sole reason for the 4 star review , else it would be 5 star . overall , great sound system . +670 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 very nice system , I think sony 's dream system be as good if not better than the bose for the money . +299 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 if you be like I more time than money . you can run wire to the speaker . when i be do i be not disapoint . you can add a power sub ... but i dont feel the need to . its all lite weight and pack a big punch ... guess what . . I love it ... +925 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I have to return the product and get a Yamaha model instead since the unit would not turn on for several hour after it be turn off . it just keep go into standby mode . I really like the design of this unit , it be really good look and no visible button on the front , but the ease of use be a joke . I have to scroll through a lot of menue to find setting to control the unit . the Yamaha I buy be a update version of the one I have have for several year and work like a champ , sound great and be easy to use . I have all my component hook into the HDMI port and run one hdmus through the wall to my mount television . so simple and look great . I just wish that this unit have work and have be easier to use . Disappointed ! +467 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I have two of these dvd player break down in the span of 6 month . the first system eat we dvd . one get stick in the changer and it cost quite a bit to get it fix . then it break down altogether , and would not read any disc . we get a replacement because it be under warranty . the second unit have the front panel break off . still work okay for a few week , but then the dvd start skip and freezing . the audio and video be not in sync . the dvd tray would no longer open . send it in to the mfr at my expense and be tell it could not be fix . do not waste you time and money on this system ! +922 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I replace a 10 year old unit with this new one . for the price , the sound be great . the installlation be super easy , just plug eveything in , connect the microphone , and it balance the speaker automatically . +153 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I be on my fourth head unit , and this one only work intermittently . dvd do not play , sound cut out , on and on . also , worst remote ever . what be tragic be that while the head unit be clearly a piece of junk , the speaker be all great , and it sound fantastic when it work . now Cambridge be not sell these any more . no surprise . +479 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I see a lot of negative review for this item ... I have have it for 1 month now and I have no issue . love the sound quality . this be a must buy good job vizio . also no lead issue . +56 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 pick this up last week from Vanns through Amazon . setup be a breeze . sound quality be excellent . Minimum number of wire . Optical audio to fio box hdmus to tv and two set of speaker wire . decent selection of free and premium internet audio and video app . I be tempt to drop a few of my pay service and subscribe to 1 or two all you can eat download subscription . the only negative be that after I program my hatmony remote it still do not automatically always go to the correct input . +59 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 we buy -lrb- and return -rrb- this Yamaha yht-s400 . in comparison , we also bought\/returned these product : - Samsung ht-c6500 - LG LHB335 - LG LHB535 - Sony e570 - Sony HT-CT150 we also listen to 6 other soundbar in the store . if you primary goal be to save space and have hdmus input , the $ 500 Yamaha yht-s400 deliver the best sound of the soundbar . you just have to be ok with the horizontal sub . if price be a concern , the $ 255 Sony ht-ct150 would be my second choice here . if you do not need hdmus input and want internal Blu-Ray with streaming content -lrb- netflix , youtube , etc. -rrb- , I recommend the $ 450 Sony e570 as the best option . simply use you tv 's hdmus input as you hub , and run the tv 's optical out to the Sony , and you be set . if space be a issue , just run it 3.1 -lrb- do not hook up the rear speaker -rrb- . if you do want hdmus input , internal Blu-Ray and streaming content , I would suggest you do not get the $ 542 Samsung ht-c6500 or either of the low-end lg . they have issue . instead , assume you have more vertical component space , I humbly recommend you get a decent hdmus receiver and grab the $ 135 Panasonic bd65 -lrb- blu-ray with streaming -rrb- . +284 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I purchase a different sony about 5 month ago as a open box item from circuit city . -lrb- I 'll get to this one in a minute -rrb- when we get it home it accept a CD then decide not to give it back . then it refuse more cd 's . when you would turn the unit on the elevator would go up and down relentlessly and refuse to stop . argh , we take it in to send for repair -lrb- we buy the extend warranty -rrb- . 6 week later we find out it have to be send to Sony . 3 week later , sony say it have physical damage . when it be return it have new damage . somewhere in ship it be damage and due to that they refuse to fix it ! Circuit City make good -lrb- they note any physical damage prior to shipping and there have be none -rrb- and replace it with this dav-fc8 . for a couple of month it have work great . we forget about the old one until this last week when I try to put a dvd in and it loudly reject it . then the elevator do the up and down thing . argh , again . well , hopefully they do not damage it in shipping again and it will be fix this time . well , this be too much of a coincidence for we . we be officially unimpressed with the Sony dream Systems . do not get I wrong , we love Sony , we should own stock with how much we own of theirs just to get some money back out of we investment . the only thing leave in we house that be not Sony be we television . even we alarm clock be a Sony . we be so sure of Sony product that we last camcorder , we opt to not purchase the warranty from best buy . no trouble and we do not expect any . the dream system seem to have that corner . +889 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I have no complaint with the quality of this system . it sound great and the disc-changer be extremely quiet and fast compare to other . one word of caution : the satellite speaker be a bit larger than I expect . you can not tell it from the pic on this site , but without the stand each one be approximately the same height as the subwoofer . and do not assume that the elongate design make they any less bulky . they be still just as wide and deep as other satellite , only twice as tall . I start out with all four speaker on the stand provide and feel that they look ridiculous in my average size living room . the stand be silver plastic , have a large plastic base , and be not very thin . I end up wall-mounting the two rear speaker and buy skinnier metal stand for the front satellite . I could not be happier with the outcome . +736 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I be please with the the video and audio quality of this system . however , the 5-disc tray take a long time to load\/rotate and the dvd player be very picky . it would not play some of the dvd I purchase overseas -lrb- ntsc & region-free -rrb- that play fine in my other , less expensive , dvd player . +697 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I purchase this system because it combine a up-converting dvd and hdmus in\/out function . if you be look for a smooth operation out of the box , this set be NOT for you . here be my concern : - cable connection to the speaker have a proprietary type plug on the back of the system . if they length be sufficient , then there be no problem . Troble be if you need you speaker farther away or need to go around the room to get to they . you can not buy the connector anywhere and Samsung only sell they along with the cable and , once again , not for longer run . I have to solder cable to the connector -lrb- after have rip apart the plastic on they -rrb- to be able to get to my back speaker - I use my HDMI in\/out function , connect the tv hd box in and connect out to the tv . this connection never work . I have to revert to connect my tv hd box directly to the tv via HDMI and use component video for the dvd\/home theater set . this be quite annoying because this be one feature I be look for since my hdtv have only one hdmus input . the problem seem to be in the connection of the two hdmus plug on the theater system since I could see my dvd out of that . if you tv have two hdmus input -lrb- as the most recent have -rrb- than you have no problem . - connect the audio from the hd box set via optic cable . this connection sometime loose completely the signal and I have to ` circle ' again through all the input option -lrb- aux1 -rrb- aux2 -rrb- hdmus -rrb- DIGITAL in -rrb- just to get my audio back on . this happen quite often when you switch channel a lot . - sync problem between image and sound : with the digital connection , I seem not to be able to precisely sync the image and sound - remote seem to be `` swallow '' battery power . first set of battery last two week , I then buy rechargeable battery but need to refresh they charge every two week or so . compare with other remote where battery life be at least six month . overall , a economic system that show all he problem . +904 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I have have to contact RCA multiple time because this player do not play anything . it will just randomly decide that dvd -lrb- brand new -rrb- be not of the right format ?! the first time I call RCA , they say I need to clean the lens and that they be go to send I a cleaning kit . it never come . I buy one myself , but cleaning be not the problem . the product do not work . +549 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 totally happy with this purchase . the bar be super slim and the sound be great . love the fact that you can connect three HDMI device to the system . Easy remote . the wife be happy , the kid be happy , I be happy . +814 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 surround sound effect amazing . no need to go to the movie anymore . we add the wireless unit for the surround speaker to avoid run wire to back of the room . dvd player very easy to hook up and use . very satisfied customer . +835 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I buy this system for two reason ; price and feature . I can switch between dvd , VCR and radio all on the front of the machine and I can change channel and chapter . most system just have play and stop on the front . the power be perfect for a apartment environment . just enough to still sound great . the only ding I give this unit at this time be that it only seem to decode 5.1 channel audio in dvd mode . surround sound channel from my cable box end up only in stereo , but the MATRIX set work ok to send sound to all the speaker . +513 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 other review be right : it take about 2 year before the dvd player malfunction . Ours do last night , after purchase it in oct 2002 . we be look at significant repair cost . awesome sound be N\/A if you can not enjoy the main function of the unit -lrb- video -rrb- . +401 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this be a nice little home theater system and it serve the purpose for which it be intend . it be small , easy to put together , have detail instruction and produce a nice quality sound for watchinig movie without be too overwhelming . this be definitely for home use , so anyone who be look for a booming , thunderous effect in a larger area will not get it from this unit . I be unable to hook it up to my 20 year + stereo system , but that be no surprise . I also could not get that itsy bitsy remote to work . but these be not deal breaker and overall , it do quite well in my family room . +436 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I have have this theater system for a year and have work perfectly . LG make top quality product . I have this paired with a LG hdtv . be easy to install and have well design remote . +330 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 do not buy this product . the input in the back of the receiver do not work and will not work . i have it replace twice already and both have the same problem , so i be think its the product that be defective . i have a wius , xbox and ps3 and when i plug it in the back input system , only the audio work , but not the video . there be no video display in the tv . i have even call Sony customer service dept and they could not help I . they even tell I its because i have a sony bravium hdmus hdtv , that the high definition be not set correctly , but when i try it on my other tv , the sony trinitron regular crt tv , it do not work either . so the system be defective when it come to input receiver , other than this , the product deliver awesome sound that be very impressive . +113 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I search , research and review every thing I could find about home theater system for about 3 week before choose the Panasonic sc-ht400 . I select it for 3 reason ; value , performance and brand reputation . and my homework pay off . this system be easy to set up ; only take I 25 minute to set up the 400 and a Panasonic progressive scan dvd \/ hi-fi VHS combo unit . it also have lot of little extra and a clear instruction manual . but more important than any of that ; it sound incredible ! deep clear bass from the subwoofer , crisp and clear sound from the satellite and excellent preset and adjustment option . I find the sound quality to be on par with Pioneer 's receiver and jbl speaker . and this unit be just as amazing when play dvd 's as it be when listen to music . I whole heartedly recommend this system , especial in conjuction with the Panasonic pv-d4743 . this be the best home theater system I find ... +313 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I assemble it last night and figure where I want to put the speaker and what to do about the wiring etc. . it be early on but the assembly be simple and I be love the wireless rear speaker . the major part of my house be surround in rich music \/ movie \/ etc. . the coverage be absolutely amazing . as I say , it be early on but I be loving it . +140 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 my brother set it up for I . it work really good , no complaint . +419 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I be tear between this unit and a similar Samsung unit , and I decide to go with this Sony because I have alway6s be please with Sony product . well , Sony definitely let I down on this one . first off this unit be easy to set up . it take longer to run the wire across the room than it do to actually hook it up . but the volume on this be sub-par . even on the max level volume -lrb- 35 -rrb- it still be not that loud . the main problem be the amount of bass that it produce . the bass be so overpowering that you can barely even hear people talk in the movie , and there be no way to adjust the level at all . +248 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I love my Phillips Surround Sound . I love the clarity of the sound and the ease of use be wonderful . my son-in-law hook it all up for I so I can not say much about that except he get finish very quickly . he love anything by Phillips . it be by he recommendation that I purchase this system . I think you would be very satisfied with this product . +920 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 wow ! , if you be ready for the digital sound , this be the system to start with that type of sound . I like a lot because the receiver have a lot of input and output and the satellite speaker be very comfortable . you do not have to spend a lot of money in a home theater because this be the best ! . +102 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I watch a lot of dvd 's and just recently I decide to buy a home theater system . the high end home theater be too much for my wallet so I look around for the home theater in a box . I see the LG lgdvt418 and love it . it come with 4 floor standing speaker , instead of 4 small one that you have to find a table to sit they on . the subwoofer give enough `` oomph '' for all the media that could play on the dvd , include dvd , audio cd , and even mp3 cd . overall this be a great bargain for anyone who want a home theater\/dvd player but not the home theater price . +778 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 the product be very good . please have in mind this be my first home Theather , so I can not compare with other product . I use for watch Netflix , youtube video , picasaweb photo . bluray and dvd , also , the sound quality be very good . you can download update , the last one I get some internet tv channel . moreover , it have a good price . I really recommend it . +886 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I have be around audio\/video equipment for a couple of decade , and I have see $ 15,000 component -lrb- farouja line doubler -rrb- or they equivalent go down to a small fraction of they price over the year . this be a fabulous example of how economic force have force price down . I set mine up today and I can hardly believe the quality of the picture and sound -lrb- for picture quality , of course , you need a monitor capable of 720 or whatever the number of line progressive scan dvd player put out -rrb- . now for sound , I have be around high-fi nut since the early ' 50 's , when some of the stuff be hardly in enclosed cabinet . you might not get better sound quality than this item put out until you get into thousand of dollar , plus a acoustically correct room . go for this , and spend the savings on dvd 's . +979 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I be use the ht305 as the core of a 7.1 sound system for we home theater set up . could not be happier with the result . also terrific for music : internet radio , old lp , mp3 all sound terrific . I buy a earlier set of Cambridge SoundWorks year ago and they be still deliver clear , crisp sound . +945 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I have enjoy the system , but the remote quit work the second day i have it . I send for a replacement remote , but they send I a entire new system . upon receive the new system the next remote do not work either . I be just go to send this back and get my money back . if it be impossible to make a remote that work , then rca do not deserve my money . I be sure if the remote work , this would be a nice system . +115 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 this system might be ok . I would need a instruction manual first . the system come without the manual and nobody seem to be able to find one . apparently this be a new system so there be no manual available for it ? one problem that we may or may not be able to fix be the input level for the dvd player . the volume level can not be adjust on this system it be alway playing too loud . so loud actually , that we can not even use the system because it be too loud . we might eventually be able to adjust the input volume level but we will need a instruction manual to do it . since there be no instruction manual available we will not be able to turn it down , or live with a system that perform this way . I be sure I will eventually have to return this item . +968 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 buy from costco for $ 179.99 . good enough for my bedroom . and I do not hear the hissing sound previous reviewer mention , I believe it must be something related at his\/her home . +229 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this unit be a replacement for one that be steal out of we fifth-wheel trailer . we be hope it work as well as the original unit . we be very pleased with the davs500 unit and be happy to find a almost exact unit . +777 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I purchase this htib and try it for a week . the passive sub be weak and the other speaker be too small . I have replace the system with a Onkyo ht-s5300 . +151 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 awesome sound system . I have want this set up for year , but could not afford it . I get this for half price ! it be suppose to be refurbish . it come with a full warranty and everything in the new box and packing look `` brand new ! '' I inspect everything closely and really think it be new ... either way , it sound GREEEAAAT ! +286 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 after do a considerable amount of research on ` home theater in a box ' system , I decide to pick the Toshiba sd-43ht system . my budget be between $ 250 - $ 300 . this be actually price lower than that , so that be a bonus . more money to spend on dvd ! First - the dvd playback . this be progresive scan , and I have a hdtv . my old dvd player which I have have for a couple of year be not progressive scan , so I be really look forward to see what the big deal be with progressive scan . wow ! after I get the systen set up I pop in `` the fast and the furious '' and cue up the first race scene . the picture be amazing ! it be worth note that I also pick up some monster component cable which should also be help in give a great picture . the picture be razor sharp and the color be very vivd and true to life . remember when you first switch over from VHS to dvd ? that be what it be like jump from `` regular dvd '' to progressive scan on this system . wow . Next - the sound . this system come with 5 satellite speaker plus a subwoofer . the sub be not power , it be passive and get 70 watt . the satellite be 50 watts\/channel . so the sound system come in at under 400 watt . most system in this price range come in around 500 , so it be not as powerful . however , this sytem have excellent sound . again , the race scene in tf&f; look excellent , and the surround sound be awesome . very clean , pure digital sound . the subwoofer boom , and the satellite hold there own . it be plenty of power for I . you probably be not go to `` feel '' the sub like you would on a high-end system , but that ok . this system pump out the sound very well . i plug my digital cable box into the dvd player\/reciever and be plesantly suprise to hear very clean , clear 5.1 surround sound come out of it . so now recgular televsion can be enjoy in surround sound ! also , cd sound great . it even read my mp3 cd with no problem ! overall I be very happy . I get what I pay for . this be not a $ 3,000 home theater system . but it pack a punch for the price for sure . definitly worth check out . +712 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 overall , a nice unit . not as powerful as the wattage would imply . some caveat : - the dvd player itself be quite loud ; during quiet passage of music or movie , it be a bit intrusive - the VCR and dvd unit be slow to respond to the keypress of the base unit or the remote , which be somewhat annoying . - the amplifier smell quite `` hot '' during the first few week , which make I worry about reliability . but I have have this unit for almost 6 month now and have be generally please with the performance and feature , especially for the price . +371 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I just purchase this a week ago . so far , so good ... the unit work well and sound good , the only real complaint be the lack of bass from the subwoofer . it be only a 6 1\/4 '' subwoofer , so I know the bass would not be extremely good , but I be hope for a little more . the satelite speaker work and sound great . good clear output from they . overall , a pretty decent product for the money . +226 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I buy this product a couple of month ago and have to agree with a previous review that Sony have simply combine a dvd component with a receiver component and speaker . therefore , setup be trickier because there be no detailed instruction on how the two component work together , except for draw show how the two system `` could '' be connect . but while I be no av expert , it be clear to I that setup of audio component can be achieve in a number of different way . I will say it take I more time that I desire to setup this system . that be say , I have be very happy with the quality of the sound and output of the system . the 5 disc dvd player be great for shuffling cd and when play a dvd , the dvd player have a setting that automatically detect the dvd recording type and select the optimum setting . initially I have problem figure out the remote . in fact , the instruction talk about `` when you press so and so button , text will be display '' but what be not clear be that they mean the text be display on you tv when in `` video mode '' , not on the dvd display . after I figure this out , adjust dvd setting be easy . overall I like the system , the sound be very nice and be just what I be look for . I would say that if Sony would include some better documentation that would discuss the component together as a system they could alleviate a lot of the setup confusion . I would buy this system again . +10 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I buy this system a few week ago , and it sound great ! we have a small living room and dont need the add boost to the bass that a bigger system would give , so this one be just prefect . it have all the feature of bigger model at a very affordable price . +200 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 the unit have good base sound and be convenient because the subwoofer be located in the unit itself . this make for a compact sound system with good sound . however , while the sound be good , the simulated surround sound be not a plus for I . I also be disapoint that there be no input for my ipod and no connection to the internet in order to play XM radio or Pandora . I do get the unit for a great price . +869 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this system offer simplicity and powerful surround system . I notice if you setup the speaker in equatrial triangle from you listen position , you may enjoy the benefit of 5.1 virtual surround . the drawback be limited spot compare to regular 5.1 system . best when you play with dvd since it have multi-channel sound . I should lower the subwoofer level below normal for dvd movie . CD only produce stereo sound and the subwoofer level need to be adjust to higher level . +891 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I have have these speaker for 5 year and I guess it be long enough to give they a review . I be look for a chea ... inexpensive set of speaker to go with my -lrb- then new -rrb- denon receiver . after day of research I figure that big brand do not sell anything of quality that cheap , but I find a unknown company that people seem to like , Fluance . so I go to the website and buy these speaker . a few day later they come in nice double box . the main look pretty sturdy . they have golden plate connector on the back and can be doubled-wired -lrb- not that I think anyone will bother to do it -rrb- . after I hook they up -lrb- and after a break-in period -rrb- they start produce very clear sound . Bass be obviously not very deep . but you can not expect it and Fluance have a matching subwoofer now so it should not be a problem . unfortunately back and especially center be much smaller and less powerful -lrb- minus one star -rrb- . sound from the center be not that great especially with music . I wish they put a bigger one in the package but after all it be reasonably ok with movie so I be still keep it . although , again , Fluance have a matching center speaker for sale -lrb- I guess it be part of they marketing strategy -rrb- . after four year of use they I be think of buy a `` brand name '' speaker but I can not convince myself to spend 10 time more money to get something that be only 10 percent better . people seem to think that Fluance be `` white van '' speaker and they be obviously not . I be yet to find something in this price range that sound even remotely that good . and you can always put a fake logo on they to show they off to you friend ... +767 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 the small iLive minus 2.1 Home theater system with dock for iPod & CD player be just right for my purpose . it sound great despite small speaker -lrb- 3 -rrb- . remote work fine . I be integrate the system with a satellite radio receiver . the only issue I have with the unit be that I must use the audio input on the front of the receiver to connect the satellite receiver audio output cabel and there be no balance control for the speaker . the audio connection be a male to male 3.5 mm stereo plug . the `` Aux Audio Input '' on the rear of the receiver will not work for this use & be mean for a t.v. audio input . I do not plan on use this for a t.v. system , but the varied connection on the back of the unit allow for a number of connection such as s-video , hdmus , component , auxilliary , coaxial , composite as well as am\/fm antenna . look good & I hope it last a long time . +380 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I buy this for a small 1br apartment and it be everything I could ask for and more . I spend a long time compare Home Theatre Systems and choose this one because it have the most feature at a reasonable price point . I have a Sony Bravia 32 '' that connect to the stereo system and that make it very easy to control volume and power on\/off the system and tv together use the original tv\/cable remote . the three HDMI port be great for CABLE , PS3 , and a extra port to connect my laptop , and when the system be off the pass-through option allow you to continue use you tv as if the system wasnt connect . the speaker and sub woofer sound great and I love the auto-calibration mic , it make everything very simple . there be more than enough wire for front and rear speaker , the center speaker cord be a little small , and the gauge be just the right size to be hide from sight under carpet and around wall . the hts-s370 be a great buy and make play video game and watch tv and movie more enjoyable . pro : great sound , lot of wire , easy setup con : none ! note : I be not too sure why , but I use lcpm on PS3 and still my video game play in 720p not 1080p +491 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 we have be want to get a home theater audio system for some time so when we anniversary come around , we decide it be the perfect time to purchase one . I go online and do extensive research on different home theater option . we opt for a htib due to its cost and ease of installation\/use . since we already own both a dvd\/vcr combo unit as well as a dvd recorder , we do not want to purchase a htib with a include dvd player and in essesce , pay for another dvd . we narrow it down to the Sony ht-ddw760 and the Panasonic scht-05 . they be both good choice for a htib without a include dvd player . while the Sony ht-ddw760 have more input that its little brother ht-ddw660 , it still only have two digital input which have we lean towards the Panasonic . we go down to we local electronics store to listen to they . unfortunately , they only have the Panasonic hook up but it be enough to convince we . we purchase a scht-05 that evening . the setup be relatively simple . all of the speaker wire go into the subwoofer and out into the satellite . Panasonic set up many of they home theater system this way with the sub contain the amp for the whole system . then , there be a single proprietary cable that connect the slim silver receiver to the sub . several people recommend that you spend money to upgrade the speaker wire . we have some 14ga stranded speaker wire that we want to use . however , the connection slot for the speaker wire prove to small to use the 14ga . be aware of this if you want to use heavier wire than what be supply . we end up use the wire provide with the system . the three digital input be a huge draw for we to get this system and we have not be disappoint . there be two optical and one digital coaxial . we have purchase cable on eBay and it make hook up we a\/v component a breeze . there be also generous rca stereo input as well , if you component do not have digital audio out . we use the three digital input for we digital cable , dvd recorder , and dvd part of we dvd\/vcr combo unit . we then hook up the vcr via the stereo rca . there be four level of subwoofer output . it be very simple to change . while I know there be more powerful sub out there , the one include in this system rumble , shake and vibrate the house capably . also the speaker setup mode make it easy to ensure that the speaker be balance for you room . we have a open concept floorplan which mean that we living room area be quite large . the Panasonic scht-05 can amply fill the space with sound . the Dolby Digital and DTS decode be excellent . we still be shock at time to hear all the sound effect when we watch a dvd . it freak out we poor dog to hear sound come from so many direction . the system add immeasurably to the movie watch experience . you can fine tune the sound setting if need but we do not find it necessary . the Dolby ProLogic II work great . since so many program on cable\/satellite be in stereo , the plius convert two channel sound into surround . it make the system much more usable . in short , you can not go wrong with this system . while it do not have component video switching or similar high end feature , it do a excellent job of what it be design to do . the low cost and easy setup make it a perfect addition to any home that already own a dvd player . we could not be more please with we purchase . +585 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I write a review below , where the unit freeze up and I have to unplug it overnight to make it work . just a update : Sony have have my unit for a month , can not fix it , and can not send I a new one back because `` we do not have any dvd player '' accord to Eric . '' and by the way , we can not tell you when you 'll get one . I have literally have a broken unit since January , and no estimate when I 'll get one . I pay Netflix $ 20\/month for ... nothing . why would you want one of these in you home , when Sony do not even have any ? just look at all the review below , this be a piece of junk , and the service be beyond horrible . as one Sony customer support person explain to I : `` Mr. Vaughn , life be full of inconvenience '' +849 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 sound be good for the price , bass could be better . disc look great . one flaw to be aware of . I try to use the follow hookup and it would not work : Satellite HDMI out -rrb- 335 hdmus in -rrb- 335 hdmus out -rrb- Projector HDMI in the 335 would not output any sound while connect to the projector . if I disconnect the projector , sound . weird . I call LG support and they validate this . I guess that if I have it hook up to a tv that have audio I would not have this issue . so beware ... +132 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I just receive this theater system yesterday and it be wonderful . I find it very easy to setup , the direction be very easy to follow and understand even if you be not electronically incline . plus the manual be not a 100 page book you have to read to learn how to run the system . I love the design of the system also . Panasonic make the dvd 5 disc changer look really cool by make the front of it look like a mirror . also around the volume knob , it glow with blue light when you turn the system on . the speaker be silver and have a nice design . the tall -lrb- long -rrb- speaker be the front speaker and the smaller one go in the back of the room . the nice thing be that all the speaker be capable of hang on the wall . also , pole that be attach to the tall front speaker -lrb- as show in the picture -rrb- can be use for the back speaker instead if you like . so there be option with this system . the performance of the system be amazing and at the price I get it for , you can `` t go wrong . the dvd player be quick when change disc and quiet . there be also a lot of setup option . you can ajust the subwoofer level from the remote , many different picture view , sound setting for cd 's , and speaker adjustment to name a few . also , there be ton of input for you extra device . I have the VCR and 3 game system hook up to it . I also like the fact that it have the option for component cable hook up for the tv . I buy some of those cable last night and the picture do look better . I love the subwoofer . it be pretty hefty but definately worth it . there be 4 different bass level you can set it on and it be POWERFUL . I put in the chronicle of Riddick and it shake the floor and my cat hide for the rest of the night . you have to be careful though . I live in a apartment and the bass can be hear clearly and heavily outside the apartment and I do not have the volume up very loud at all . but with the subwoofer adjustment , you can find a setting that work best for you . I suggest this product for everyone . it work so great and it be such a good value for the money that I be tell all my friend about it . +949 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 pro : - it work nice - relatively easy to install - it be not expensive for what you get - good sound - 3d and blue ray support con : - it be not interactive -lrb- no screen menu -rrb- - it do not process hd sound -lrb- available in Blue Rays and many dvd -rrb- - installation instruction and manual be only available on CD and be a bit difficult to follow - front speaker bar , which contain the right , leave and center speaker be nice look but it do not deliver . leave speaker stop work after two month ; I replace the sound bar with individual speaker and it be the best thing I could have ever do . - cable look cheap ; I follow the advice circulate on the internet and buy a good set of cable -lrb- monster cable -rrb- . overall it be a good product and be worth what you pay . +2 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I purchase this system after read good review . when I set up this system I immediately notice lack of TREBLE . the system do not let you adjust treble , mid-range & base but it have pre-set sound such as Rock , Pop & so on ... I try all the preset but could not get any crisp treble from any of the setting . I try it with dvd , CD and the radio but there just be not enough treble but just dull sound as if you be listen to stereo system make in the '70 . I be return this system for either jvc or Panasonic . this be the last Sony I buy as far as home theater go . I be extremely disappointed . +416 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 DO NOT BUY if you dont have a amp and a reciever . first of all , the speaker be puny . next you need a amp to get 100watts as advertise . wait theres much more , you need a reciever too . and last but not least , this item be refurbish ! - which be not advertise as you can see . +739 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 its a good product love the sound ... only problem be connect to the internet but after search over the internet that seem common for samsung ststem . +537 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I be new to sound system , and be by no mean a audiophile . what I want be something to improve the sound from my tv in a small space -lrb- a den -rrb- . for that purpose alone , the system work fine . however , the reason this get 3 star and not 4 be that no matter how the setting be adjust , the sound seem to come predominantly from the sound bar , which sound thin to I . the rear speaker , which be quite small , seem to produce very little sound . be it better than my tv ? absolutely . it also have a small footprint , which be important to I . what get I be the price . I just do not feel it be worth the amount pay . I regret not give the lesser expensive Yamaha htib with individual side speaker a try instead of this sound bar system . +645 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this system continue to blow I away . it have all the power you could want , great sound satellite and a serious subwoofer . the reciever be a great quality piece . I have absolutely to quibble about with this system ; I think it sound as good if not better than system that be double the price . movie be amazing , and music sound great in the Direct , unprocessed mode . +908 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 this be the second rca home theater system we have have in three year . the first one last 2.5 year with problem start 14 month after purchase . the latest one rtb10223 last only 14 day !! I will not purchase another rca system again . this stuff be absolute pure crap ! +235 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I just set up mine yesterday . it sound great , dvd sound excellent . Plays everything include svcd but on certain scene the picture start scroll and you can not do anything about it . sound be more than good enough for a small room . problem with av : I connect my vcr\/cable tv through av1\/av2 but now sometimes the color appear too bright or the picture start scroll on certain channel . but if I connect vcr\/cable to tv directly then they work fine . the remote control do not control anything else and no universal remote control work on this dvd player . AM\/FM tuner be great but , the subwoofer do not work while play FM . mp3 and all tv channel sound great with sub . overall its worth the money -lrb- $ 80 -rrb- on sale . while watch Cable tv I take video signal which come directly to tv and sound from this system and the combination be great . +452 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I go shopping for a decent dvd player expect to pay up to $ 200 . I be surprise to discover a entire home cinema system available for less . it be easy to assemble but more importantly , the sound option come out of this system kick butt . I enjoy a wide range of musical creativity -lrb- sneeker pimp to Bach -rrb- as well as dvd diversion . this system step up to the job . I just hope it last . +771 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I just buy this system to take advantage of my movie and game . and man , do it ever ! this system be great in everyway the sound be just incredable . I hook up my Sony dvd Player , XBOX , Playstation 2 , Gamecube and VCR to this system and it blow I away . it be like watch a movie for the first time and play a game for the first time . I highly recommend this system to everyone . best system ever . +344 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 Wish the negative review have be on Amazon when we family first purchase 2 of these system . even when the product work , it be painfully slow to change & read disc ; now both we unit have the develop the same problem other have report , namely get stick on `` standby '' instead of turn off , refuse to read dvd , and get stuck playing cd . so yes , it be not a fluke , this be a defective product , if you get hold of one and it be not break yet , it will be eventually . however , I still use it as a surround sound system , and must admit it sound pretty good , but I have to plug a cheapo dvd player into a av input -lrb- it only have 2 . . -rrb- to watch dvd with surround ... which be absurd , but I can thank Sony for make this ripoff . and for what it be worth : leave the system off when not use it seem to improve its longevity . +422 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 the satellite speaker sound fantastic and be easy to place throughout you room . the subwoofer drive low and hard and shake my entire house , even at time I swear I can not hear it . Center be not too large and yet sound better than the one it replace which be huge . the only realy criticical review here on Amazon regard these speaker be one idiot that give it one star because the one he get be defective . these be , by far , the best speaker available under $ 800 - $ 1000 . check the stereo review on they for absolute detail . I can only really tell you how they sound to I . they bring life back to my five year old receiver . +415 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 one previous review mention that this unit would not have 5.1 sound if connect to a cable box with the 2-channel audio -lrb- red\/white -rrb- cable . this be not true , 5.1 sound be encode on only two channel . you will get 5.1 sound from a cable box if the program be encode in 5.1 . another nice feature be that with the Dolby pro Logic II , you get decent simulated 5.1 sound even with normal stereo program . this system be unbeatable for the money . I pay $ 400 after rebate from Costco , and the system include speaker stand . for the money , you get a 5-disk dvd\/cd changer , a VCR , a AM\/FM tuner , a surround sound amplifier and 5 speaker and a subwoofer . I be very pleased with this unit and would buy it again . add surround sound really make movie come alive . there be a few thing that could be better about this system . first , the remote be horrid . it will do everything , but it be very difficult to use . you will need to read the manual . for some strange reason , the volume adjustment only appear on - screen when play dvd , not when play tape or watch tv . the channel number do not appear on screen until about 2 seconds after the channel be change . there be a front panel display of channel number , but the slow on-screen display be quite annoying . the clock be suppose to set automatically , but mine would not . the clock be not difficult to set manually . the dvd send output to the composite output , s-video , and component video . however , the VCR only send output on the composite output so you will need both composite and s-video connection to you tv if ou want to take advantage of the S-Video . it would be nice if the VCR would also output on the S-Video connector , this would simplify connection to the tv . I wish there be a way to use the built-in tv speaker as either a center channel or front right\/left speaker . this should be easy and cheap to add , but I have not yet find a unit that support it . one last little gripe , the power rating of this system be totally bogus . there be no way that the speaker could handle they rate power , and I seriously doubt the unit can actually put out 550w of audio power . the drive level be ample for home use , but the rating be crazy . all manufacturer seem to be do this these day . +363 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 the unit work nicely and the sound be great for the price . I be surprised how much bass come from the passive subwoofer . it be quite handy to be able to switch HDMI input with the push of a remote button , no get up . then one day tward the end of the warrenty period , the system would not turn on . all that would happen be a flash red light . Sony support be helpfull try to diagnose the problem and decide it be a issue that have to be repair at the factory . then my wife have a medical emergency and end up in the hospital for a couple of day . my problem with the system be long forget and it still sit by the tv not work . would have give it 5 star if it still work . +810 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 after read many of the review on Amazon , I feel comfortable buy this little rca sound system for my apartment . it so far have meet and exceed my expectation . it have a good enough quality sound , the subwoofer really give a good base sound . at time it could be a little louder on the other speaker , where I have a hard time hear what some people be say even though the overall sound be high . nevertheless , it do the job just fine . I would recommend this product . good value for the price . +144 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I attach this home theater system to my Mac pro use a optical audio -lrb- toslink -rrb- cable . iTunes never sound so dramatically pure . the clarity of sound be amazing and I be more than thrill at my computer gaming experience . the subwoofer fit comfortably under my desk and the two satellite speaker be perch at the extreme end of my desk . the Onkyo have the option of attach a total of 5 satellite speaker to create a 5.1 sound system , but the lack of real estate on my desk would make that configuration cumbersome . the two main reason I choose Onkyo be my current experience with a 7.1 home theater system which I absolutely love , and the ability to connect to this system use optical digital cabling . there be no electrical interference from nearby cell phone or other electromagnetic spectrum polluter , and the digital sound be deliver from the source untrammeled to the amplifier . +207 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 good value to I the sound be great and have the speaker apart . Bass be load enough for I and have it hook up to a cheap tv which really improve the sound . this system be very hard to find . +365 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I buy these speaker for my boyfriend 's birthday after much research . after read all the review I decide on these & I be glad I do : -rrb- very easy to set up , and the sound that come out of these speaker be very good . not incredible but much better than we tv speaker . we be get to the point of have to turn the tv all the way up just to hear the dialogue on some movie . well no more ! music sound really good too , can not wait for football season to see what these baby can do ! +255 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this soundbar with rear speaker be great for what they be and they price range . this review be more about a mini-tutorial on how to mount the rear speaker to bose ufs-20 Universal Floor stand -lrb- pair -rrb- - black I do not like the other universal stand available so I decide to make the bose one work b\/c they look great , be sturdy , and hide the speaker wiring . what you will need : tool : drill 1\/4 '' drill bit philip screwdriver Allen wrench Materials : 2 x 1\/4-20 x 1\/2 Allen screw -lrb- like this , http:\/\/dmpfasteners.com\/shop\/1-4-20-x-1-2-allen-screw-ss-891 -rrb- cost : less than $ 1 Notes : the Allen head screw be extremely important b\/c the head on they be only a bit larger than the thread , which will be important to allow for it to fit properly . I originally buy some standard philip head screw , but the head to too large to fit on the bracket . also , I could not find the thread size for the rear satellite speaker anywhere , so here it be 1\/4 '' -20 . step : 1 . take off the bracket from the bose speaker and flip it over . Notice that it be symmetrical and will fit on the speaker stand `` upside-down . '' 2 . drill a 1\/4 '' hole through the `` upside-down '' bracket as close to the top as possible . -lrb- tip : use a punch or a Phillips screwdriver with a hammer to mark you drill spot , so the drill do not wander -rrb- 3 . put the `` upside-down '' bracket with you new hole back on the bose speaker stand 4 . feed you speaker wire through the bracket as instruct in the bose owner manual -lrb- you will have to take off the connector at the back of the Vizio satellite speaker wire with a small Phillips screwdriver to do so -rrb- 5 . use a 1\/4-20 x 1\/2 Allen screw to attach the speaker to the stand . 6 . enjoy ! note : because we have flip the bracket and drill a new hole , we have retain the original bose mount hole as well . if you ever buy bose speaker and want to mount they on the bracket , simply flip it back over . +149 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I love these speaker , my previous setup be a Onkyo amp with bose speaker and we finally realize that we do not listen to movie at imax level so have a clean look be more we style . the Vizio System be definatly the clean look with good sound we be look for . I have have no problem connect to the sub and I think it sound great . the only thing I would like to have be the blue tooth connectivity that some other system offer . +578 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this system be very affordable and have a great sound ! I have a new audio cd that come double with the same cd only in 5.1 surround sound and I be blow away by this system sound ... it be awesome ! I highly recomend it . +820 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 the audio review prompt I to buy this system and take my chance with the high incidenet of report led volume failure . I have have the unit for two month , the volume indicator do fail , but the system do not require they to enjoy the beautiful sound the system produce and I be content with my decision . but I contact Vizio and they arrange for a pre autherized return swap . they send you a new system , put a suspend charge on you credit card , then when you get the system install it and put the old equipment in the shipping container and return it . the deal include prepaid Fed x shipping both way . when Vizio recieve it the credit card charge be cancle . it be a new painless way to get a new system . and although the tech do not say it I get the feeling that with the new system will come from a new production run and I probable would not experience the same failure again . yes , it be a pain to have to deal with the return , but the sound system be very good for the price and Vizio handle the replacement in a profesional manor . +173 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 good system with a great sound quality . the cd\/dvd be flexible with regard to us\/european dvd format . altogether lot of feature , but along with that lot and lot of wire . Speaker wire be not long enough for a reasonably size room . to be able to properly use the system , read the manual . even obvious functionality be not necessarily easy to figure out without it . anyone figure out why you need 2 remote control for this combination ? consolidation would be nice , since other electronic gadget each have they own . +529 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 this system have several design flaw . one be the remote control design - intermittent at best . another be the tray design . it misalign itself , and scrape up the disk inside . do not buy this product . Panasonic need to go back to the draw board on this one . this really should have 0 star , but that be not a option . a waste of time here . diff --git a/dev/Jewelry.txt b/dev/Jewelry.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..46b81a55fe4a962267744ccc29e1c295356790b9 --- /dev/null +++ b/dev/Jewelry.txt @@ -0,0 +1,100 @@ +852 Jewelry NEU 3 i like the ring however i be very disappointed that the garnet stone be more orange than the dark red of the true garnet i be hopee for . this be a very special ring for my daughter whose boyfriend be name Redd and he favorite color be red and he birth stone be garnet . i order this ring for she in remembrence of Redd as he be murder only day before . so this be a very special ring to we . we be hope for a more blood red color of a true garnet . +760 Jewelry POS 5 I alwasy think a ring on the thumb would be bind . but this one be perfect . you do not even know it be there . +946 Jewelry POS 4 I purchase this ring for my mother as part of she Christmas present . we be part irish and she have always love that culture . she dream vacation would be to go but since we could not afford to take she there , I could at least bring some of it to she . the ring be beautiful . no tarnish or blatant sign of cheapness , clear design , good color to the silver . it run very true to size and be way more delicate in real life than what it look like in the picture but I love that about it . the only draw back be that the inside be very clearly stamped THAILAND on the band which I be sure say something about it be quality or it be origin , and I be a little disappointed over that . all in all I be satisfy with it : -rrb- +8 Jewelry POS 5 the day I do not wear the blue one I wear this one .

I would definitely recommend it . I look at the g19 as well and to I the full color lcd screen be not worth it , and so far I be not regret my decision at all by save a good bit of money and go with this g510 . +760 Keyboard POS 5 I like my visor before , but now with the keyboard , I can use for note in meeting , journal , and other lengthy entry . I set it up first thing in the morning and use it though-out the day . the information in useful to I in my time-keeping and I do not want to put my private -lrb- sometimes vent -rrb- thought on my desktop at work . I have find the information to be invaluable and I have never be able to do this with a pencil and paper . I would have never do it with the stylus . it be fun to watch people watch I . this be quite a ice breaker and conversation piece . +946 Keyboard NEU 3 this product do not fit the ipad 2 even though I look it up that way and the description do not warn you . look like the ipad 2 version be come out April 19th per the Zaggmate website . I see someone use this at a conference and it look like a great device . be return this one and will buy the one for the ipad 2 . +8 Keyboard POS 5 I have only use this for about a month now , but it be exactly what I want ... simple , cheap and functional . it have all the basic key necessary and happily in the original standard configuration -lrb- i.e. window key , arrow , home\/end , page , return , keypad , etc. be all in the `` right '' place -rrb- . the leg on the bottom of the keyboard be the only questionable part when I first receive . they look a bit flimsy , but so far have be fine and they be slightly rubberize , so they provide a nice non-slip feature . as for the mouse , laser so accurate and spin wheel have nice feel to it . recommend esp . for price . +61 Keyboard POS 5 I buy this keyboard to use in my kindergarten classroom . while I do not use it everyday , it have be a great addition to my routine . the sound quality be clear , and the voice , for the most part , be some of the most authentic I have hear on any electric piano . I love the pre-recorded song , which be intend as lesson - I have my student sing along to the familiar one . +718 Keyboard POS 4 the color do not match the picture , it be darker , but I like it . the only problem I do not like be that the letter , number and such on the skin do not align properly with the letter , number , etc on the keyboard for my macbook pro , so each key look like the number , letter , symbol etc be double on to the skin . if the key match up the way it should I would have rate this 5 out of 5 star . +9 Keyboard POS 5 gaming on the big screen !!! this product be the future of gaming and access to the internet right on you tv !! just awesome ! I be sure Amazon will have trouble keep these in stock . buy it ... you will love it . +79 Keyboard POS 5 within a week of have this keyboard ive already spill water and meat on it and it get inside the key . you would never know . the key arent sticking and everything be work perfect . the keyboard be amazing , i have not learn how to use all the entensive feature but what i have so far be amazing . another mentionable thing be that most people complain of the palm wrest say it be useless , i find it very suitable personally . yes it be hard plastic but i dont put all my wait on it , i more use it as a elbow rest and i use it to lightly wrest my wrist on it to take some pressure off my finger while typing for extensive period of time . i think it be comfortable , you may believe different though . +441 Keyboard POS 5 everyone be always jealous of my pink keyboard . it be so easy to peel off and wash and it keep I from go crazy when I have get something stick in-between a key . so simple yet chic . +881 Keyboard POS 5 this be better then I expect it to be , I love it and would buy other product under the same brand . im always typing in the dark to not wake my kid with the light . Perfect . +515 Keyboard POS 5 Works as advertised and be easy to set up and install . ergonomic design be great especially for people like I with arthritis issue . +592 Keyboard NEU 3 I purchase this new m ergo keyboard with high expectation that it would be better for not as good as the previous generation . but it turn out this be not a very good keyboard . for my personal usage , I use the Windows key a lot for shortcut . especially the `` Windows '' + `` m '' combination where it minimize all the window . to my surprise , there be no `` Windows '' key on the right hand side of keyboard . this be very annoying because instead of be able to minimize all the window with just one hand , now I have to use two hand !!!! some ergo expert in Microsoft be obviously not think . or perhaps someone in m think they be such a ergo expert that they decide to ignore everyone 's complain . the other problem I have with this keyboard be that the `` j '' , `` U '' , `` h '' key sometimes do not work . I would be typing and all of a sudden , none of those letter would come out . I have to hit those key harder to ensure those key work . this be not what I would call ergonomics design . I like the previous generation m ergo keyboard much better . +434 Keyboard POS 5 i need a external keyboard that I could use while travel . the big keyboard do not fit in my computer case , and I could not find a bag large enough to carry everything comfortably . this 15 '' keyboard be able to fold in half or even roll up . the only difficulty with the product be that it truly have quiet key ... which can be hard to get use to . also , the key placement be a bit tricky , and for advanced window user who use the keyboard shortcut , sometimes it be better to reach over and use the laptop keyboard . +216 Keyboard NEG 1 I read the direction . it do not work . I love the cover though . the connect cord seem use and it look dirty . +660 Keyboard NEG 1 that be all , upon plug it in the adapter do not work . we order 3 , it be not really worth it to return they , but we be disappoint . we need they for a mouse , and when plug in , the cursor would not move . +707 Keyboard POS 4 good product ! - the keypad feel good - soft and rubbery . - soften key click slightly , but more than that it change the sound . I like the new sound more . - I be sure it protect the keyboard well . nothing 's happen to it yet since I get the product today , but from other review it protect from spill , dust , dirt , etc. . but a couple of problem : - CAN NOT see the letter on the key with the backlight - normally it shine through the clear letter on the key but it do not anymore . this be probably the biggest problem with it -lrb- and clearly not a huge deal -rrb- - it be be less than a day of use it and a tiny hole have appear . I do not know if it be there when it ship or if my brother tear it , or if it be a problem with the product itself , but it be there -lrb- although it be really really small . -rrb- - came in the mail so it be a little bent , and not quite a perfect fit on the arrow key or the edge . - dust stick to it since it be a little sticky . I have not wash it yet but hopefully it 'll be easy to wash . over all , it look , feel , and sound great , but it do not work as well as I hope . but since it be on sale when I buy it - go down from 20 dollar to 2.48 - it be definitely worth the price . I would buy it for up to 5 dollar - buy it for any more would be a waste . +951 Keyboard POS 4 product meet expectation but I get use to be amaze by Logitech : product be good , useful but there be no -lrb- good -rrb- surprise : light keyboard glow but do not `` shine '' , macro be programmable but it do not seem to work all the time , booklet be very very short and there be no osd . . all in all , this product be recommend but there should be better somewhere else . +605 Keyboard NEG 2 Got this keyboard so I could operate my htpc from the couch across the room from my hdtv . test this out at my office , and it work great as a presentation tool , but with the shoddy reception -lrb- at any range or without line-of-sight -rrb- , it simply do not cut it as a replacement keyboard . miss too many keystroke , and the button be lay out in a perfect smash grid , so you will not be able to type as fast . also be miss several function key that make it hard to use keyboard shortcut . the mouse click button be position where you have to use both hand to click -lrb- one hand to hold the remote , the other to press the button -rrb- . the compact size be nice , and the build in battery be a nice idea , but it die way too fast . overall , I think that this product look and sound great , but the poor construction and quality of component make it a lemon as far as practical functionality . +542 Keyboard NEU 3 I buy the mouse\/keyboard to supplement my office laptop for two reason : 1 -rrb- for ergonomic reason , I want a wireless keyboard that fit into my desk 's small pull-out keyboard tray , while still allow room for a full-size mouse on the same tray . the keyboard fit perfectly . the keyboard be similar in size to a laptop keyboard , so do not buy it if you want a regular full-size desktop keyboard . 2 -rrb- the idea of a in-air mouse seem cool . ok , it be cool , but it be not easy to control smoothly . the only situation where I 'll use the in-air function be when I be give a presentation with my laptop screen be project onto a wall screen , and I need stand away from the laptop . as someone who have suffer a previous repetitive stress injury related to computer usage , I find my hand hurt use this mouse within the first hour of use . in my opinion , the mouse be too narrow , cause I to unnaturally clench my hand around the mouse to grasp it . as such , I do not use the mouse . everyone be different . test this mouse at a store , if you can , before purchase . my solution be to buy a separate Microsoft wireless mouse . yeah , that be right , I have separate usb antenna for my keyboard and mouse plug into my laptop . it be a shame about the Gyration mouse be narrow , because I think a in-air mouse would have good potential for people with certain disability . a crude measurement show perhaps a 3\/8ths of a inch difference in the width of the front end of the two mouse , but the contour of a wider mouse be important to I . +7 Keyboard NEG 2 I have be use split keyboard since 1995 , all Microsoft . I could tell the current keyboard -lrb- of 8 year -rrb- be begin to skip letter as I type -- warn signal ! so I purchase a new one which have now move to storage until I be simply force to use it : 1 -rrb- keyboard click be sharp or tinny -- I think due to the thin material use for the housing . 2 -rrb- the keyboard speed be maddeningly slow . I have try the new keyboard on both xp and win 7 , set both OS 's at the highest speed and still the keyboard creep until I want to throw it out the window . regular typing be ok , but if you want to move the cursor to somewhere else on the page that have no keyboard shortcut , take a long deep breath . delete , whether forward or back be also annoyingly slow . +285 Keyboard NEU 3 the basic design of the g700 be in fact ingenious . when I show the device to onlooker , they gasp at the expansion mechanism of the actual key . concession : it be damn cool . sadly , I must confirm previously address grievance , primarily with the space bar , which be every bit as flakey as describe . you think there be a trick to make it work better , but there be not . it be just flakey , which be surprising . the expansion be so exactingly well do , you can hardly believe they would goof such a obvious quibble . one thing I will add in contrast to earlier report be that it be possible to switch the location of the shift and up arrow key . true , this be not entirely intuitive , and less than gracefull in usage , it be there . for those of we with cly , the Stowaway be the way to go , at least until there be a Stowaway XT port to we platform . it be a shame , because the Belkin really have a lot go for it . +225 Keyboard POS 5 love the keyboard , the mouse feel great - only complaint be it be very sensitive and I have not be able to tone it down for regular use . Works good , great bundle , take only one usb port ! and be a great price . +470 Keyboard POS 5 I have be use natural keyboard since 1997 and I could not use any other . be the space bar a little noisy ? yeah ! but I really do not care . be a system administrator and software developer , my hand be on the keyboard for about 12 hour a day . every time I have to work in a customer 's place , I ask for two thing : Coca-Cola , and a natural keyboard . +763 Keyboard NEU 3 I buy this keyboard last year because I like the connectivity for the ipod and the two usb connection available . so far , it have perform well and I do like the connection for the ipod . I do agree with the last review about the number key be difficult to work with and the instruction book\/user guide could be a lot clearer . other than that , I feel it be just as good as a more expensice keyboard such as Logitech or Microsoft . however , it be only my personal opinion and I be sure people will either agree or disagree with my opinion and that be okey-dokey with I . +137 Keyboard POS 4 I only have one issue initially ... the usb connector be a bit flimsy and because of that I be have a bad reception - sometimes I would wiggle the mouse and nothing would happen . I think the problem be the quality of the mouse , or the reliability of the rf channel ... the problem be the usb contact ... I squeeze a little bit the little usb receiver , and shove really hard inside the usb port of the computer , and now everything work peachy ... +670 Keyboard NEG 2 I really like how quiet this keyboard be but unfortunatly it consistantly mistype and leave character out . I have give it a few week to work itself in but that never happen . I believe now that you get what you pay for . do yourself a favor and look for a better keyboard ! +299 Keyboard POS 5 I just receive my keyboard skin cover for my mac book and it fit perfect ! it actually turn out cover the key better than I think it would . I figure it would be too bulky , but to my surprise it fit and I can actually close my mac book completely ! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone want to personalize they mac book !!! +925 Keyboard POS 4 the key be hard at the start but after constant use , they start to loosen up . sometimes the cursor jump unexpectedly . but its size make up for its shortcoming include the different placement of the delete , insert , home , and other key . the on\/off switch be a definite plus . +467 Keyboard POS 4 I like this keyboard a lot it work well and even though I do not think I would use the extra programmable key I do sometimes . the problem be that I sometimes hit the Back and forward key when it would be better not to . mostly it be my fault but I think the could have be place better . the last Microsoft Natural keyboard I have have a screw up arrow keypad and that be why I buy this one to replace it . I be use to the standard keyboard configuration . I like this keyboard because it be standard for the most part with a few extra . this time they do not change the basic setup they just add to it . +922 Keyboard POS 5 this be ship from Hongkong . Free shipping with less than 1 dollar . it be very nice . just protect the key bord from food . Mine protector have a dot that I try to get rid of , but I break it . it be fine . the switch button of air be mark as other sign , but no harm . cheap and fit well ! +153 Keyboard NEU 3 good material but i be think the character it be come light like the key board but the color be black so there no light come up to you so you will do not benefit from the light !! so u can take the transparent one +479 Keyboard POS 5 I be use it over a half year now . still I love this combo . the keyboard be sleek , so comfortable to type ; function key be so useful in many way . it beautifully work with Windows 7 x64 bit . mouse be very comfortable to hold . Main key point be that function of both keyboard and mouse be programmable . if you do not want or want certain button to do certain action , you can change it use its driver . I do not know why people be complain that they could not use f function . however this be true , if you do not install the driver come with it . this should be problem once you install the program call `` setpoint '' . mouse work when I be 3.5 m away from computer . I could not test it further . that be limit of my room size . it work on virtually every type of surface . mouse look a little bit oversized on the website , however it be not . nevertheless , it be a little bit heavy , if you be use to super small , light mouse . I be use this combo along with my laptop and external monitor . +56 Keyboard NEU 3 I get this keyboard mainly for one feature and the price . I have to say it be price well . as far as the keyboard go , the key feel good . it have a nice finish to it . the illumination be do very well . aside from all that , it be a pain to get use to . the button layout should be improve . I could not get use to have a small right shift key and a small backspace . I know all of this go into it , from look at the pic and read the review , but I decide to give it a chance anyway . the keyboard I receive end up be defective . the spacebar key do not respond very well and all of the `` Multimedia '' key be not work , except for the illumination button . needless to say I give up on this keyboard and return it . you get what you pay for , save you money and get something more decent . Logitech make a great slim illuminated keyboard . +59 Keyboard NEG 1 I have be use this keyboard for 2 week to see if I could get use to it . I be return it . the back light be great - work like a charm . however it would be nice if the key have white letter for when the light be not on . the reason I be return be the layout of the keyboard - specifically the tiny right shift key -lrb- next to the up arrow -rrb- . I can not count how many time i have be typing away and look down to find out that I hit the up arrow instead of the shift key - totally have to start over on what I be typing . I do not know why the maker feel they need to put the home , page up\/down , and end key on the right side of the enter key . anyone who type by feel will get screw up . +284 Keyboard NEG 1 I just buy the revue and the c910 from Amazon -lrb- cause I think it be the right camera work with Logitech Vid HD which I think mean on the revue but it be only on the pc -rrb- the usb port do not seem to work at all , my external hard drive will not connect , the camera will not connect . the box and the revue box inside be beat up when it arrive . I can not believe I waste so much money . do not buy this monstrosity . Logitech support only answer my question about the camera not the hard drive or the usb port that do not seem to work . +889 Keyboard POS 5 I be very satisfied with this keyboard it be nice and it be get gentle key . this do not come with a manual so if you try to figure out how to change the backlight color , it right next to the dial knob . this keyboard also do not look tacky as I thougth it would be . it be just perfect and I think it be worth the price . you will not be disappoint with this one . +736 Keyboard POS 4 like the other kind of condom you feel smart use it but the other feeling be not as nice . unlike like the other kind of condom it can not be discern that it be be worn visually . +697 Keyboard POS 5 I have be use the Microsoft Natural keyboard for a number of year . I really think this be the best one yet . it be very comfortable and the key have a great feel to they . +904 Keyboard POS 5 this keyboard its perfect , the size and location for everything its great , i just love it , its like it be make for I +549 Keyboard NEG 1 never do get it to work correctly with my Droid X. after pretend to type on it for a while I do not spend too much time though since it be a bit too small and its action to soft to improve all that much on the virtual keyboard . if it have some kind of functional installer it would have be worth it . try to follow the manual step that do not work be not . +814 Keyboard POS 5 for my white mac this be a perfect fit ! hard to snap on but when i finally get it ... perfect fit ! I be very excited and would refer everyone to this site and this prodect be awesome ! +835 Keyboard POS 4 I get this for when my laptop -lrb- linux -rrb- be ` dock ' under the external monitor , so I have a external mouse and keyboard too , without use too much desktop space . as it use just 1 usb port -lrb- the nano receiver be a must -rrb- , it leave 2 other free for use . I like this fact , rather than a wire keyboard and mouse ... the look and feel be good , I like the island style keyboard , although the key be smaller than they could be -lrb- not a problem for I -rrb- , with larger space between they . mouse button and scroll wheel feel nice and work well . point to note -lrb- but not real problem for I -rrb- : - \* -rrb- the keyboard light -lrb- caps\/num ... -rrb- will not work without install the driver for this keyboard . I be not keen on have to install a driver just to get something as basic -lrb- and standard -rrb- as a keyboard to work fully - I can not do that on linux and would choose not to on Windows either . \* -rrb- the battery in the mouse would not stay in if the cover plate be miss . a small design detail , but it make you wonder - they can not design a functional battery compartment ? but overall , both keyboard and mouse certainly work well under Linux and for my require purpose . my linux : cento 6.2 +513 Keyboard POS 5 I have have this for over a year and I be use it to write this . it have be through many many day and day and month of noob owning . +401 Keyboard POS 4 I buy this keyboard for my office use , and it be not a bad choice ~ I like it +436 Keyboard POS 5 I use this product for my desktop . thank god for this I have less wire to deal with around my desk area . Works great so far and easy to use . it be not a fancy product ... but ... great product for the price and work great !! +330 Keyboard NEG 2 this be a replacement keyboard . best one I have find yet and will keep use it until I can not replace it anymore . +113 Keyboard NEU 3 as a low vision computer use , the icon be hard to see . the power switch on the side be sharp and stick out from the edge too far . I be assume that a slider button be miss . the flap that hold the ipad 2 could use some velcro to hold it in place . nice try . +313 Keyboard POS 5 this be basically a wireless version of the Kensington Slim type -lrb- k72357us -rrb- , which be also great . if you prefer a laptop style keyboard , or be just accustomed work on a laptop and have to use a desktop for work , this make you feel right at home . I get the Kensington for work and love it . my home setup require a wireless keyboard for various reason , so after a little digging I find this and I be now quite happy . if you be look for a high quality laptop `` sizer switch '' style keyboard I highly recommend either of these product . in case you do not know what `` sizer switch '' mean , the difference be you get a short crisp keystroke like on a high quality laptop , vs the mushy feeling thud of a typical desktop keyboard . this style of keyboard be also much quieter , and far thinner . I hope this help anyone look for a cool keyboard . +140 Keyboard POS 5 no complaint . I replace my wire keyboard and wire mouse with this set , and I can see no difference in reaction time , which be a good thing . I just plug in the blue tooth device into the usb port on my HP minus and both the keyboard and mouse start work immediately with no software to download . I move the keyboard all over my desk and it work from every location I have try , which would be up to about 4 foot away . both the mouse and keyboard respond immediately to my action . I do not know what else to say . it work . +419 Keyboard POS 4 Easy to install . Easy to use . I have not have any issue . if you be look for a ergonomic keyboard this be a good choice . +248 Keyboard POS 5 this cable be very simple to use and be about $ 45.00 less than the name brand model that do exactly the same thing . +920 Keyboard POS 5 Fair warning , this keyboard be not for the point and peck typer . and the touch typer will be annoy for the first week or two until you get use to it . that be say , I have replace all of my keyboard with these . I actually carry one around in my laptop bag , and it do not exactly fit . why be I such a fanatic about it ? simply , I spend 8-14 hour a day on the computer . though I be very athletic , and have strong arm and hand from year of rock climbing , kayaking , and lift weight , all to fight off the typical computer jockey physique , at the end of a work day , my hand feel week and painful . I start use one of these as a last ditch effort to avoid go on disability . the simple fact be that I can type faster , longer , and far more comfortably on these then on any other keyboard I have ever use . no , it do not have a lot of bell and whistle . but I do not need they , or use they . if you can not do it with hot key , you do it wrong . this keyboard be not for casual user , if you want email button on you keyboard , move along , this be not the keyboard you be look for . if you type all day , and you hand , wrist , shoulder and neck be kill you , this be the keyboard for you . there be a learning curve , but trust I , if you be a touch typer , it be worth the effort to get use to they . you will never go back . I know I have not , and I have be use they for 15 year now . simply the best keyboard you will ever buy . now if m 's software be just as good we would really be get someplace . +102 Keyboard POS 5 this keyboard be a great product ! it be a easy transition from any other ergonomic keyboard . it only take a soft touch for great production and be not loud at all ! I have already purchase another one for my pc at home -lrb- this one be for my office -rrb- ! never want to go back to my other keyboard , this be the ultimate !! +778 Keyboard NEU 3 this Logitech Revue be pretty cool . conceptually , it do more than I think it need to do which might scare a few people away , but it would never frighten a geek like myself . its a pretty solid way browse the web on my tv , but seem useless for anything more than view youtube . I will always want to use my laptop to do all intensive web surfing , so I be still try to figure out the benefit of a web browser on the tv - ultimately my tv should be about watch video . all my favorite video site be block . Hulu , CBS.com , FOX.com , NBC.com , etc. . . be not accessible through the revue - Netflix integration be cool , but I have 2 other device that have netflix connect to my tv . both of which cost I under 100 buck each -lrb- Western Digital WD TV Live Plus HD Media Player WDBABX0000NBK-NESN - find network attach storage suck , so i can not easily watch all my download content . - direct tv integration be really cool . way better than the standard cablebox experience . this be the only reason why this device be useful . I love be able to search for the video in the channel guide , and find info about they , and set up the dvr use this box . - initial set up be easy as well . take I a few min to blow through . - keyboard be cool and comfortable to use on my lap , but the button placement under the trackpad make we want to smash this thing over a table . I have high hope for you Mr. GoogleTV , but this definitely be not a mass market product . all my nerd-friend will get moist over this product , but I think the honeymoon will be short . maybe functionality get better when people start develop android app for the tv . but I still think this be go to be far from a mass market phenomenon . +886 Keyboard POS 5 I be send this keyboard via the Vine program and love it . I replace a older Logitech Mac keyboard with this one and will not go back . the kicker for I on this keyboard be that I do not have to worry about replace battery ... the solar aspect of this keyboard allow it to recharge via light from the window + normal room light . great keyboard . +979 Keyboard POS 5 have to borrow another brand while await shipment of new Logitech . there be no comparison . the other major brand be not quick and fresh like my new Logitech . small plug in router be simple and sharp with great coverage . thanks for a good product . thanks for Amazon 's super price and service . Jim +945 Keyboard POS 5 after watch this video , anybody should be able to know how to use this case to protect you MacBook a1342 model . +115 Keyboard POS 5 wow , this be a nice keyboard . I be enjoy it for my tv-connected pc , which I use from the sofa . pro : quiet , useful keyset , Logitech Unified receiver be handy and easy to setup , number pad , good build quality con : have not notice any +968 Keyboard POS 4 I use this with a pc plug into the tv . sit on the couch from across the room , the wireless aspect work great . here be a few thing I really like about the keyboard : the trackball be easy to use the `` mouse '' button for the trackball be well positioned and have several option . there be a handy left-click button on the edge of the keyboard just under the trackball . it be very well position for how I hold the keyboard . likewise the scroll wheel on the left edge of the keyboard be in the perfect place to use it . and there be two other left\/right mouse button on the main keyboard surface . the keyboard be a nice small size but will full size key . more equivalent to a large laptop keyboard than a desktop keyboard . I do not want a big keyboard sit by my tv and this fit just right . the only downside I have see be : there be no indicator light -lrb- numlock \/ cap lock -rrb- on the keyboard . that be a real problem when log in . I understand they probably omit the light as a battery power save feature but I really think they be necessary . really minor here : the wireless receiver dongle be larger than I would like . it be stick out of a front usb port on my pc and I would really appreciate a smaller receiver so there be less chance it could get bump and break . +229 Keyboard NEG 2 I be so excited to see the price of this product but it didnt work as well as i would have hope . the packaging have sharpie mark on it , cross out word , the keyboard do not want to connect to my ipad and when it do connect , it do not stay connect . Great Price ... but poor quality product . +777 Keyboard POS 5 I be look for a rf mouse\/keyboard that will go beyond the logitech 's 6 foot range and also a keyboard small enough to place on my lap . I be have a lot of trouble with my logitech 's keyboard reception , I use my BigScreen tv as a monitor and work away from my desk -lrb- sometimes I work in bed ! -rrb- . the installation be straight foward since they be use the Windows usb human Interface Drivers . if you have Windows 98se or greater you 'll be ok . keyboard : the keyboard be good , rf work better than logitech , it be small enough to place on you lap -lrb- if you do not like laptop keyboard this be not the right keyboard for you -rrb- . it have 15 shortcut button , but since there be no software you can not change they functionality . the button work as follow : \* next Track , Prev Track , Play\/Pause , Stop , volume + , volume - , mute -lrb- work with Windows CD Player or the default media player -rrb- \* back , foward , stop , refresh , home , search , favorite -lrb- work with ie -rrb- \* Mail -lrb- workw with the default mail app -rrb- . note : you 'll need me or greater to take full advantage of the sortcut button . mouse : the mouse be awesome ! , it work both as a optical or gyroscopic mouse . the gyroscopic functionality be the best , it take I about 5 minute to get use to it and the more I use it the better I get -lrb- it be the same learning process as use a mouse for the first time -rrb- . -------------------------------------------------------- pro : Easy to install 25 Feet rf range Optical and Gyroscopic Mouse Small Keyboard Good look con : shortcut key can not be customize need win me or greater to take full advantage of the Keyboard Shorcuts . +151 Keyboard POS 5 when I really like a product , I be always curious about the negative review . with this keyboard , it appear that these concern personal preference that no single keyboard can fulfill for all user . I guess that some day there may be a keyboard that can be modify by the user to any sublayout , key size , and the like . this keyboard can not do that , but it be about as perfect for I as they come . the keyboard layout be standard and straightforward : no touchpad , special key , etc. -lrb- well , there be those speaker key above the numeric keypad . . I do not use they , but they also do not make the keyboard larger -rrb- . I like that because it keep the size to a minimum without diminish the usefulness -- for I . it be not particularly important to I that it be really thin , but I really like that look . now the important stuff . the key feel good to I , and I think that as long as key have good tactile feedback , you will get use to whatever keyboard you use and come to like that feel . you brain adapt , which mean that if you use another keyboard with a different feel , you will not favor that at first either . someone do note that the f and j key be not as easy to feel as on some keyboard , but you get use to that as well . I be attract to this keyboard because I sometimes like to work in a room with muted illumination . I would find that sometimes I would need to punch a key that I do not use much -lrb- say , a f-function key -rrb- and would struggle to find it . that be not a problem now . I start use wireless keyboard 2 keyboard ago , and will never go back to cable . I love not have another cable on my desktop . plus , I can type with the keyboard in another position if I have to -lrb- troubleshoot the computer , etc. -rrb- . the tradeoff have always be the battery , but the rechargeable nature of this keyboard be wonderful . I charge they first when I get the keyboard about a month ago , and it be still on full . and , if the battery need recharge , I just plug in the usb cable for a hour or so , and can still use the keyboard . I have to admit that I really like Logitech product , have be use they since the first 3-button -lrb- ! -rrb- mouse in the early 1980 's . I have never use a Logitech product I do not like . maybe I be bias . +286 Keyboard POS 5 at under $ 50 this keyboard and mouse be great ! Logitech have come out with a new combo -lrb- the MX duo -rrb- which make they lower this set price . I buy one and like it so much I boght a second one ! the have there pro and con . one thing I didnt like be the palm rest for the keyboard be very unconforatble and the keyboard doesnt have much of a tilt to it . other then that , I love this keyboard . the mouse be also great , I love the back button and the way it fit you hand , if you plan to use it leave hand though , it wouldnt work so great . im right hand so that doesnt effect I . Windows pick the set up so I still havent install the software . im have no problem without it . the media button and back button on the mouse be by far my favorate thing . the MX duo would have be great to have but it be more power then I need . this set be great for all right handed general computer user . though if you really into gaming , I would advise you to buy the MX duo . +712 Keyboard POS 4 this keyboard work great . far easier to type than the ipad keyboard . i do find the repeat time very quick , so type fast people . +371 Keyboard NEU 3 for the price , I would say that this keyboard skin be pretty good bang for the buck . with that say , I would not have buy this product if I have actually know what it look like and how it feel . I buy two skin at once , and they come in the same package . immediately out of the envelope , I notice that one of the skin be wrinkle on the bottom -- a pretty hard thing to fix , consider that it be make of silicon . the skin also doesnt fit as well as I have hope , and it do have a bit of a sandpapery texture to it . I think I be go to stick with my regular key until I can find something better . +226 Keyboard NEU 3 work nicely for several day to a week . it quit work and when I go to check the receiver it be hot . that be all she write . +10 Keyboard POS 5 I have have this keyboard for a little while now , and I love it . I be afraid it be be too small or awkward . however , the design turn out to be great . the touchpad work perfectly , and the key be nice and springy . one problem : I plug the usb dongle into the back of my desktop . the keyboard be unreliable even with the keyboard less than 5 foot away from the dongle . I plug the usb dongle into the usb port on the top of my computer , and it work perfectly . the range seem to be 30 foot unobstructed . couple of small thing : the finish be glossy , so it 'll look nice right out of the box . but there will always be finger smudge on it after any kind of use . the num\/caps\/scroll lock led be very dim . in the daylight it be tough to tell if they be on or not . you can not change the volume with one hand . you need to press fn + f10 , f11 , or f12 . often I want to mute my music and walk away , and I be require to put my drink down to mute my computer . like I say , they be small thing , but it would be nice if they be take care of . sometimes the little thing take something from good to great . +200 Keyboard POS 5 pro : key have excellent feel and the program key make fly Microsoft FSX much easier con : blacklighting could be a litle brighter on the high setting but still very adequate for fly at night with only ilumination from the monitor ' purchase for the blacklighting and programable key feature and have not disappoint . keyboard dimension w\/o wrist rest 21.5 w x 8.5 deep . I have to re-adjust my pull out plastic keyboard tray to accodomate the depth . my old keyboard be 6.0 deep and I need the new one to clear the desk overhang to allow access to the very top control . I rarely use the top control and could have leave the old tray in its original position . the back lighting be blue and have 2 brightness level along with off and the adjustment key be above the f-12 function key . the wrist rest be easily detach and since I do not type other than email I have not install it as the additional depth would have add another 2-3 inch . it be a great gaming keyboard especially for Flight Sim use +869 Keyboard NEG 2 I buy this because I have the -lrb- terrible -rrb- habit of eat while I use my laptop , since I be a university student and always use my laptop for study or entertainment , which basically describe my waking hour . I want to keep food and grease out of the key . it work pretty great for that purpose , but after a while I notice that my laptop be run WAY hotter than usual , at least twice the normal temperature , even when it be idle -lrb- it be almost hot enough to burn skin on contact -rrb- . I have hear that some of the intake for the cooling fan come from the keyboard , because of the Macbook pro 's unibody design . I think that must be true , because as soon as I remove the keyboard cover , the laptop cool back down , the cover , since it be translucent , also nullify the feature of keyboard backlight and cap lock light , so if you use those feature , avoid this product . also , the cover leave a gross sticky residue on the key that be really hard to get off , and it leave a imprint on the screen as well . if you have a specific reason you need to keep stuff off or out of you keyboard , this might be a good idea , but otherwise it be not worth it , and you should be careful that you laptop do not overheat while you be use this . +891 Keyboard NEU 3 I know its not good for the eye , but I spend most of my time on my computer in the dark , ergo my feeling I would benefit from have a keyboard with illuminate key rather than go through have to squint and readjust my vision when I look down . the keyboard that I have to compare this to be Apple 's Aluminum Wired Keyboard MB110LL\/A , which ship with my Quad Core Xeon MacPro - very solid design , quiet , 2 usb 2.0 port , anodize aluminum enclosure - this come with 1 usb 2.0 port . the first major difference be the build of the keyboard . for the price , much can not be expect - it be no Apple design or Das Keyboard . if you have use typical pc keyboard , that be how it feel . turn it on for the first time be really cool , the color range for the back lighting , via the driver -lrb- default to Blue -rrb- , range from Red to Blue with a hue of Purple in between and different brightness setting . I think I would be able to use Yellow , Green , etc. - the gamut of the RGB ... Red , Purple and Blue be not bad , though . the driver allow for customize the `` g-keys '' to be assign to different key or to record a macro . especially for gamer , I believe place those key along the top would allow for easier coordination with game like StarCraft II , Diablo 3 , Dragon Age : origin where those key could easily be designate as potion , magic spell or unit selection key and visually align from the monitor to the keyboard . have the key vertically along the side force the user to adjust visual alignment which can increase the learning curve depend on the number of game play . this also make the keyboard fairly wide - smaller , chiclet-sized g-key along the top would have be a better design decision . the media key be a cool feature with a major caveat ; I be watch a cartoon with my daughter via VLC -lrb- VideoLAN Client -rrb- and notice -lrb- that -rrb- use the media key to Pause\/Play , although they work in VLC just fine , there be audible disc spin in the background - what I find out be that , no MATTER what , use those media key on the Mac launch iTunes ! there be no way to remap those key . the Windows key be dead , Mac OS X have a Keyboard Viewer which display what key be be press , that Windows key do nothing . I download a 3rd party key remap utility and be unable to do anything with that key . I do not use the Alt key all the time , but there be time it be necessary to have for multiple key press to force quit a application - akin to Windows ' ctrl + alt + Del bring up the sometimes necessary process Viewer . the audio volume roller be a slick feature , though . unfortunately my audio out be via digital optical -lrb- toslink for 5.1 surround sound -rrb- and volume be control by the receiver , not through the OS . there be 3 be ' key above the g-key that , when depress , instantly switch between previously assign profile for key assignment and color . those , of course , can further be customize . there be also a bunch of default for the game that be the latest available when the driver be release ... last year . unfortunately this list be retard by a scan of the hard drive for say game - if its not install , the profile be not available . no big deal , though , custom profile can be create . Logitech 's Mac OS X driver -lrb- pun intend after the fact -rrb- drive I up the wall . they be a unintuitive menagerie of option . the last Logitech device I own , besides a game pad , be a MX series Laser mouse a few year ago when Laser technology in mouse be new . I be glad they support the Mac , but they driver be horrible contusion for they otherwise solid hardware design . they have no all-in-one interface and lcd app be load by default no matter what g-series keyboard be plug in - this model have no lcd display . the lcd app , once I figure out how , can be individually enable and disabled . I guess Logitech throw one driver set at all they keyboard . for they keyboard with no lcd display this create unnecessary overhead . after use this product for about a week I factored a few thing ; the bulkiness -lrb- my workspace be in a armoire which the keyboard must share with my Razer DeathAdder mouse -rrb- , the lackluster driver , non-functioning Windows key which could be remap to nothing else - even other pc keyboard can have this button remap on a Mac , the media key which auto-launch iTunes , the loud key that take longer to depress than my Apple keyboard -lrb- in gaming and typing that make a huge difference ! -rrb- and I decide to return this item . I be sure for Windows there be a better experience , especially if you be use to run-of-the-mill keyboard and software design , but I get what I pay for , I suppose . +767 Keyboard POS 4 the keyboard be easy to use and it can be use from a long distance . the problem be that some time it loose the signal . the battery life be realy good and fast to charge again !! +380 Keyboard POS 5 I have use this design for 8 year . in 2011 , it just stoppp work on its own . do not know why . but , hey , 8 year be fine . I feel lucky to find it still in production . I do of course shop around at Staples , etc. to see what I be miss . what be new ? - rediculously expensive and oddly shaped keyboard that be package with a mouse I do not want . you can not improve much on perfection and this m keyboard be already the perfect shape . so , I save a ton of money and buy exactly what I need - a keyboard that do not fatigue my finger . I also like it be white so I can see the key when it be dark in the room . +491 Keyboard POS 5 this product be a gift from the heaven , it work with anytype of computer\/server . the keyboard be the perfect size , key be quiet and space correctly . the touchpad be very sensitive even after adjustment in system utility . the left mouse button be very touchy , while move icon or file it seem to release on it be own . very frustrate at time . other than that the signal it produce alow you to work more than 30 ' multi-media button be perfect location for the keyboard . give the keyboard more functionality during quick surffing or use the keyboard with a media server . -- keyboard Heaven +585 Keyboard POS 5 I share a home office with my husband ; unfortunately , my rapid typing drive he crazy when we be in there together . this keyboard be so quiet , he do not even realize that I have IM have he until he receive it . the feel of the key be nice , although the control key be slightly awkward and the zoom slider be a little incongruous - I agree that it would have be better utilise as a scroll bar . +849 Keyboard POS 5 this keyboard and mouse Combo be absolutely amazing for this price . not only do they work very well , but I can use they from 15 foot away without any lag . do not get any better at this price . +132 Keyboard POS 5 i buy this keyboard for my grama as a gift on she birthday and she love it . . she say she have no problem of typing letter anymore when she make any email or even surf out to the internet , she easily find all those big letter in a keyboard and more command to access easily and right away . . I would diffinately have to recommend this . . +949 Keyboard POS 5 I purchase the 1st trent case with wireless keyboard ; I like it but it be very fragile . after about 1 month of continual use , the latch break ; which render the case useless . the 1st generation version now sale for $ 44.00 -lrb- but I would advise against purchase it -rrb- . anyway here be what I like so far about the New Trent one : -lrb- 1 -rrb- sturdy construction -lrb- 2 -rrb- ipad fit nicely -lrb- 3 -rrb- look like it cost more than it actually do -lrb- 4 -rrb- 6 position for hold the ipad -lrb- 5 -rrb- turn the iPad off in closed position -lrb- 6 -rrb- keyboard very responsive with a sturdy feel to it similar to a small laptop -lrb- unlike the Trent 1 -rrb- -lrb- 7 -rrb- not as heavy as I think that it be go to be -lrb- 8 -rrb- since ipad be not attach to the actual case , you can use the tablet freely without a heavy case hang onto it -lrb- 9 -rrb- can completely remove the keyboard from base to type , need I say more ? this be a great investment ! note : the iPad simply rest in the case , it do not lock in , so if you plan to use it while you be sit on you bed or couch , be careful . also I be a little worried that the case might scratch the face of my ipad . I 'll update if my fear come true . do not miss out on this one , it be the real deal ! I be so pleased . UPDATE : I still love my case ; wish I have the new Zagg , but it cost between 30-50 dollar more . no scratch , at least not yet . remember that you can always buy a screen protective sheet through Amazon -lrb- 3 for about $ 4.00 -rrb- ; or if you have a dollar tree in you city , they run a buck a piece -lrb- so why pay more -rrb- . be careful when open you case , I almost tear off a key . you may want to practice opening and close the case to avoid compication when you may need you tablet most . happy shopping ! +2 Keyboard NEG 2 Google TV sound pretty cool . and it be ; it be a great interface that lay on top of you Cable tv and internet . but it be first gen and come with it be large share of problem which sort of make I feel like a beta tester . only I have to pay to be so . I buy Logitech 's flavor of Google tv ; the revue . Sony 's version be the same software . the con begin outweigh the pro 's for I , so I 'll start with those . - expensive price compare to other set top box -lrb- Roku , Boxee Box or software , appletv -rrb- - the keyboard controller be very hard to get cozy with . - Logitech 's harmony remote control you entire entertainment center . this package be advertise to include ` Harmony Link ' , which essentially mean it be a dumb down version that only control the Google tv , you receiver , dvr , and you tv . what it do not control be anything else -lrb- in my case ; computer , xbox , Roku -rrb- . and you can not teach it any new command or execute any Macros . to turn on\/off you system there be 3 power button , GoogleTV , Receiver , and tv . - you cable provider 's very ugly dvr interface be still use when watch tv . this look strange with Google TV overlay it , and make for a slightly confusing experience - -lrb- Wife : `` be I in GoogleTV now , or Comcast ? '' -rrb- - Google TV work much better with dish network 's DVR 's . in Google TV 's search box , you can type in any show name , and if it be available or playing in the future on Dish , it will list the show . from those result you can select a episode and set up a recording right from Google TV . with any other provider , you select the show , then it take you to you provider 's DVR interface and then you have to manually search for that show that be air in 3 week . good luck . - Audio\/Video sync issue . this be almost constant when watch live tv . Logitech be aware of the issue and be promise a fix , but not within the 30-day return window ; -lrb- - double View mode -lrb- picture-in-picture -rrb- be only work in some case . there have be recent update that have optimize double View , however . - system be sometimes laggy when navigate through GoogleTV 's menus\/apps . - ton of network have block Google TV Boxes from access they internet content . - still no Android Marketplace . - and one of my biggest wish be not yet available . I want to be able to open one search box , type in a item , hit search , then see a list of result from everything , even service I be a member of . currently you see result from Youtube , Amazon VOD , other internet site , and you Cable Provider . but no result from Netflix , Blockbuster , Hulu + -lrb- this be not accessible on gtv yet anyway . . -rrb- , and whatnot . so you have to search service after service to see if the content be available elsewhere . - control the system from you smartphone be pretty cool , but hard to use . the screen keep turn off and the phone auto-lock . the button be all touchscreen so you have to constantly be look at the screen to press a button . there be many ` possible ' plus to GoogleTV , like ` this feature will be available in a future update ' , or ` if x sign a deal with y , then google tv will finally get z ' . I be go to wait until those update and deal be make , then buy the latest and greatest gTV hardware available instead of be stick with this old first gen box . as for the pro : + the keyboard controller be very cool and easy to use when navigate through the menu , surf the web , or enter search term . + searching for content be great . + dual View -lrb- with recent update -rrb- be fantastic . + it be nice be able to quickly overlay a tv show to check something real quick on the web . + Software\/Firmware update ! Hope this help . these be opinion from a geek and a wife that both just want a solid , easy-to-use system . we be still very interested in gtv but want to hold off until faster hardware and more feature become available . in the meantime , we be happy with we Roku , and put up with Comcast . we rarely use the Boxee software I install on a dedicated pc because it be interface be too jumbled\/confusing . Google TV 's interface really shine in comparison . +416 Keyboard NEU 3 I set this in place to protect keyboard . it will do that . 2 fatal flaw that keep it from be use . 1 . lock in heat that would otherwise escape through space around key edge . heat kill electronics . I do not want to speed up the process . 2 . Blocks light for light keyboard . nice feature on MacBook pro , take away with use of this protector . on balance , it apply easily and fit well . Easy to remove . final thought : I be more concern with my Mac 's lifespan than I be with protect the well make key from get debris fall through . recommend you just do not eat or drink around any keyboard , and ESPECIALLY not around a laptop . save you money here . +739 Keyboard POS 5 I have have my mouse and keyboard for about a year now , and so far , no problem . I still have the orginal battery in my keyboard . here be a little list of thing that I do not like about the keyboard and mouse : ... . . none . here be a list of what I like about this mouse and keyboard : ... ... . . everything . +537 Keyboard NEU 3 I be typing on my new Kensington keyboard right now . it be just fine . the only problem for I be that it have no usb port . my fault for not look closer at the description . I just assume they all have usb nowadays . oh well . +645 Keyboard POS 4 I buy this cover in intention of keep my Macbook pro Keyboard look new . I do not want to let it get all greasy and have it wear off . this cover fit perfect . it be great to type with and make it even quieter . however there be a problem because this cover create dirt on my screen . +908 Keyboard POS 5 this keyboard be great . it install instantly and be work flawlessly ... for a reasonable price . the curvature of the keyboard be a nice touch as I do a lot of typing . +235 Keyboard NEU 3 some key be stick and will not return to upright position . its ergonomic and mouse work fine . rest be fine . +452 Keyboard POS 5 purchase this for my mother since she be have trouble see she keyboard . it have help and she be use she computer more ! it take some get use to the wider key but not really a problem . +771 Keyboard POS 5 1 . just one device for everything 2 . Got rid of my ipad 3 . travel with only one device now 4 . will run Windows 8 too 5 . will run Office 6 . will run all other free app like Skype , etc. . 7 . have front face Camera beat that !! +344 Keyboard NEU 3 silicone keybard skin Cover review : this item be very reasonably price and quicky deliver . it fit perfectly , and would certainly keep unwanted crumb or -- heaven forbid ! -- liquid from touch my keyboard . unfortunately , it also make it necessary to increase pressure while typing to a uncomfortable extent . after struggle with it for two day , I give up and remove it , grateful that the experiment do not cost too much . I now type as easiy and quickly as before , bring out my little brush to clean the keyboard every few day , and keep liquid far from the laptop . +422 Keyboard POS 4 really amazing keyboard -- the typing be just perfect , and so be the way it fold . battery life be also simple and great . this keyboard make it possible to write papers and proposal on my pocket pc while I travel . since my laptop die , I decide to just use my pocket pc for this purpose instead . I buy this keyboard and a mouse , take it on the road for a week and it work fine . it be great to travel so light -lrb- you really do feel a lot lighter compare to even a ibook -rrb- . ergonomically it be quite comfortable for I to type on this keyboard and use a mouse while look at the Pocket PC screen on the stand . the only downside in that respect be that you can not see too much text at once on screen , so I feel the need to make printout of my document -lrb- at hotel business center etc. -rrb- a little more often than I normally would with a laptop , to review the draft I be work on `` as a whole '' . there be a few caveat to be aware of if you be contemplate a pda with this keyboard as a replacement for a laptop , because the result setup be miss a few thing that one take for grant with a laptop : - I need the mouse too . it be too hard to stop typing on the keyboard and pick up the stylus , and although there be keyboard shortcut for many thing , at least in a week I could not get the hang of they . stowaway 's Bluetooth mouse work perfectly for this , and be a great product also . because the whole setup be so compact , I could even use it with the mouse on a airplane tray table in coach , where normally a mouse will not fit next to a laptop ; on the plane this setup feel - more - comfortable than a laptop to I . - because the built-in stand be necessary -lrb- you can not very well hold the pda while you type , plus the IR transmitter be attach to the stand -rrb- , you can only put you pda in certain position : -- in portrait orientation , the position of the PDA 's power connector at the bottom of the pda prevent you from charge the pda while you type -- which can be a problem since , although keyboard battery life be great , the PDA run out of juice after a couple hour if you be use it like you would use a laptop -lrb- typing , mousing , listen to music at the same time , etc -rrb- . plus , if you have a extended battery pack for you pda , the extra protrusion in back prevent the pda from seat securely in the stand , although it could kind of rest on it if I be not in a bumpy environment like a train or plane . as a result , for I when my standard battery pack would run out , thing would get a little sketchy . -- Landscape orientation be possible , but only in one direction not the other -lrb- due to the location of the Stowaway 's IR transmitter -rrb- . on my pda that orientation on the stand prevent I from use headphone -lrb- because the jack wind up on the bottom -rrb- . I could charge the pda while it be in this position , but the protrusion of the charge connector to the right again make the PDA rest insecurely on the stand , at a weird angle . - this detail do not really bother I but figure I would mention it . this keyboard , I think unlike the Bluetooth version from the same manufacturer , need to be use on a rigid tabletop -lrb- not you lap -rrb- . otherwise , the keyboard fold back into a `` v '' under the weight of you hand . basically , it be perfectly solid in a hotel , on a airplane , on a Amtrak , but do not expect to use this setup on a commuter train with no tray table ! but I can not really imagine how you would arrange the PDA to look at it comfortably without a tabletop anyway . so , while everything work great technically and even ergonomically , beware of unexpected physical constraint . after I get back from my first trip , I decide to return this keyboard and order the Bluetooth version , which communicate with the PDA via radio rather than invisible light , and which be also compatible with my pda . I be wait for it to arrive . since the mouse be Bluetooth , I figure it make sense to get the Bluetooth version of the keyboard as well . maybe it will lengthen battery life on my pda a little since Bluetooth need to be activate to use the mouse anyway , and now I can turn off the PDA 's infrared sensor . and I be hope that the stand for the Bluetooth version will be more flexible since there be no need for a line-of-sight IR transmitter . FYI , my pda be a Dell Axim x30 with Bluetooth . +415 Keyboard NEG 2 first I preface by say I have have pc since the 80s . this be the first keyboard I ever use that will not work correctly . it refuse to be recogize by my win 7 64bit one-year old system even after a full bio update . to operate the keyboard I have to manually unplug it and then plug it back in . Tech support want I to change bio setting ... something I have never do for ANY keyboard . what be up with that ?? the Logitech board be also pepper with problem story about this product . needless to say , this one go on the shelf -lrb- have it too long to return it -rrb- and the trusty Microsoft keyboard come out of retirement . +363 Keyboard POS 5 really nice keyboard . . take a little bit of get use to the keyboard be split , but it be very nice . extremely fast delivery . I buy 6-7 item at one time and this package come first : -rrb- very happy +810 Keyboard NEG 2 I get my Edge keyboard use over two year ago . at that time , the battery charge would last a few day , and this have hold up - still go 4-5 day on a charge , which work fine for I , although much less than advertise . -lrb- since the keyboard be brick when the battery die , I consider myself lucky -rrb- . the bluetooth have synce reliably with my iMac . I have like the keypad operation . the trackpad be nice , but its button be not ergonomically located . I find I use my Wacom tablet for most drawing and drag operation , which my hand can not do reliably with the trackpad and its button . that be a annoyance . unfortunately , I just lose a key . for a couple of day the ` six ' key would appear to stick and start enter endless ` six ' . now I can not get it to work at all , although sometimes a ` six ' will pop up when press the a key . I can use the Edge until I get a new keyboard , but have to copy and paste ` six 's . so my Edge have reach end-of-life , a shame since I have another old trackpad keyboard -lrb- not Logitech -rrb- that have behave flawlessly for 15 year . I have enjoy my year with the Edge , but could only recommend it to someone who will be happy with a life span of ~ 3 year and a somewhat awkward trackpad operation . the non-replaceable battery and early breakdown tell I Logitech consider this keyboard as a disposable item from the earliest design phase . I can not bring myself to buy another , although I be a fan of other Logitech product . +144 Keyboard POS 4 this keyboard be very nice and work well . we be able to get about 38 foot from dongle before we lose signal . design be nice . key be large enough for a compact design . +207 Keyboard POS 5 this product arrive one week earlier than project . the simplicity , quality and size permit adequate articulation . Easy to set up . the keyboard provide good protection for the screen . as in other case it would be most helpful to provide small storage pocket for the mini usb cable and stylus , but overall a good product . +365 Keyboard NEG 2 the key be flat and squish too closely like a laptop , something I want to avoid . it be slippery like ice and easy to mistake on , especially if you type fast -lrb- 100 + wpm -rrb- lastly , this keyboard would `` shut off '' for no reason . replugg do not work , you have to restart ! it be super affordable , but you get what you pay for . +255 Keyboard NEU 3 this adapter provide a passive interface from PS\/2 to usb . this do not work for many device . the manufacture of the keyboard or mouse must have design it specifically work with this kind of adapter . if you device do not work with this passive adapter , you should use the active adapter , Cable , usb to -lrb- 2 -rrb- PS\/2 Splitter USB-2400 instead . see Cable , usb to -lrb- 2 -rrb- PS\/2 Splitter +149 Keyboard POS 4 I like this keyboard a lot . it be on a little expensive side , but I think it be worth all the money in term of comfortness . if you be familiar with the layout of a natural keyboard , and if you do not need look down every time you type , you will love the comfortness of this keyboard like myself . the soft padding and the reverse tilting -lrb- bottom side of the keyboard be lift with the stand include -rrb- seem to give I extra mileage every time I use this keyboard . since the last one I use be a Microsoft Bluetooth Elite , it would not be fair for I to rate the responsiveness of this keyboard . I be not a gamer , but I could not stand the jumpy sleep\/wake mechanism of the bluetooth keyboard -lrb- otherwise Bluetooth Elite be a very solid product ... stylish , too -rrb- . finally I decide to go back to a wire one , and I do not seem to have the problem any more . if you be , however , a sniper typist , one-shot-one-type , I see a small problem . with the reverse tilting , probably you will find yourself do extra neck workout , reach out you head to look down every time you type . also if you be not fully familiar with the natural keyboard layout , probably you will sometimes have to look down and you will find that you finger block you view to the letter on the key with the stand attach . sure you can use this keyboard without the stand , but then probably you can find a alternative choice ... something even cheaper maybe ... the keyboard layout be what you can expect from any natural keyboard . however , the extra function key -lrb- favorite , sound on\/off etc. -rrb- layout do not seem quite intuitive , and icon on those key be hard to recognize . as a personal opinion , I wish those icon illuminate for better recognition , if they have to have low contrast against the luminance of the key . there go my 5 star keyboard . +578 Keyboard POS 4 too flimsy for main work keyboard and also have the crummy layout of the key above the arrow key . but , this keyboard be great for home theater use . good range . it work from anywhere in the room . I like it and the markdown price be right ! +820 Keyboard POS 4 for the option you get , it be not really worth it . it have that great Logitech feel and be well construct . I find myself not use some of the function though like the gaming key and the media player button . I do use the headphone jack , the game switch -lrb- disable window button -rrb- and the usb port . would like more usb port . backlight be not as bright as other keyboard I have see , even by Logitech . there be a little novelty in switch the backlight color . for what I need , I could have go with something cheaper . +173 Keyboard NEG 1 Got this as a gift and set it up . device get stick at startup in a system update loop . call tech support . be instruct to do a factory reset . device fail to do a factory reset . Time for refund . if a device can not even do a proper factory reset , you really have to wonder how this thing be manufacture . +529 Keyboard POS 5 the material be fantastic , and the visibility through it be great , too . however , this be likely design for a 13 or 14 inch laptop , because my laptop be a 15.6 inch one , and it do not reach across the entire keyboard . if they make a larger one , i would definitely order one again to have it cover the entire thing . a negative point be that if you do not be careful the first time put it on , it will get a little smudgy . do not make a difference with clarity , though . another great point be that if it be really bad , you can take it off and rinse it , or wipe it off , depend on what be on it . diff --git a/dev/Magazine_Subscriptions.txt b/dev/Magazine_Subscriptions.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..eb8ff906a02780698dc913417de798577e295751 --- /dev/null +++ b/dev/Magazine_Subscriptions.txt @@ -0,0 +1,100 @@ +852 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 you think a magazine such as National Geographic would be about fact and true reporting of those fact of the world we be live in today . but , no , the Arab state money have cloud they fact slightly and make they into something of a fiction . they try to change the Persian Gulf to Arabian Gulf , think no one would notice ???? well , Persia be there thousand of year a go and its one of the oldest civilisation of the world . New Arabian money can not and will not change that history and will not rename the Persian Gulf . change history usually happen when part of history have be forget . well iran and Iranians live and they history have not and will never be forget . as long as one iranian life , Persian gulf will remain persian . +760 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I personally think this magazine be great . First of all I be a 16 year old female ... fashion be everything in high school-you practicly be what you dress . I know it sound materialistic , it be , but you have to roll with the time . a couple month ago , I buy the fall issue of Vogue . they have many wonderful clothes for the fall-include the many exotic and elegant jacket . thanks to that magazine , I go out to Wilson 's Leather Store and buy a leather jacket -lrb- the one with `` shaggy fur '' around the collar and sleeve -rrb- which be almost exactly like the one in Vogue . I have have many compliment about my jacket . anyways , I be one of the first people have this type of jacket ... this magazine will help you start the trend for once , not the other way around . it be mainly just ad , but it desplay the in-syle for every season , give you a chance to dress great . +946 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 I receive Dec. . Jan , & Feb. at the same time . I do not want back issue as I have buy they at the book store . I be tell I would receive my first copy in Feb. so I plan accordingly and have already purchase the Dec. & Jan. copy . not happy with receive back copy . +8 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 good magazine , but my complaint be that when I receive it , part of the cover be rip and crinkle . they should put some kind of protective cover like other magazine when they mail it . +61 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 receive only one issue for a one-year subscription , and nothing in the follow three month . I contact the customer service and be tell that my subscription be cancel due to a system error . the refund will appear in one to two billing statement of my credit card -lrb- I hope -rrb- . what if I do not catch that error ? be they go to just take the money and do nothing ? this be disgusting and dishonest . never subscribe any magazine from they again . Update : never receive that refund . +718 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 in June of 1850 , a new magazine appear on the american scene . create by a New York publishing company call Harper & Brothers , the periodical receive the appropriate name `` Harper 's magazine . '' over the year , the magazine begin print article and story from american author , include William Dean Howells , Mark Twain , Theodore Dreiser , John Muir , Jack London , and many other big literary name immediately recognizable to reader of literature . Harper 's also publish news about the big story of the day , such as a article write by Henry Stimson defend the use of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima . astonishingly enough , the magazine nearly fold in 1980 until several big shot step in and rescue the periodical with grant money . needless to say , Harper 's magazine still chug along , and I recently subscribe to see what this historic publication look like today . what I find both elate and bother I . Harper 's magazine be a entertaining read , if the September 2003 edition be any indication , but at the same time the politics express in several of the entry leave a slightly sour taste in my mouth . the September issue overflow with article about politics , book review , essay , letter from reader , picture of artwork , and several excerpt from current literary effort . there be even a doozy of a puzzle towards the end of the magazine for those who want to test they mental power . it look as though the editor of the magazine keep advertising to a minimum -lrb- a good thing -rrb- , and there be not any of those annoying , and sometimes perfumed , insert you find in most magazine . nothing kill a magazine quicker in my mind than detect wave of some cheap cologne waft off a article about politics or entertainment . my favorite odor free article in this issue of Harper 's include a travelogue piece about Waziristan , a rugged region in Pakistan where Taliban exile mix with hostile pashtun tribe who possess a decidedly anti-american mentality . the article , write by a american woman , be slightly histrionic in its presentation but it be very informative . sure enough , a week after I read this article someone on the news mention the region in the context of american anti-terrorism effort , and I be happy to know something about it before hand . another article worth mention be a essay about the public school system write by a retired teacher . the author of this piece deride the crush boredom of the educational system for both student and teacher , and trace the development of we school back to Prussia in the 18th and 19th century . while I disagree with he political leaning , I do find he conclusion that we school serve as factory to churn out good little sheep that only know how to shop relevant and satisfying . my favorite literary excerpt come from a israeli journalist name Oz Shelach , who write a book call `` Picnic Grounds . '' the excerpt come in bite size little fragment that shed some insight into the problem between the Israelis and Palestinians , among other topic . some of the stuff in this issue of Harper 's magazine be good reading material . regrettably , my politics do not mesh well with the staff at Harper 's magazine . I sigh aloud every time I see a reference to identity politics , specifically in a literary critique about V.S. Naipaul write by Terry Eagleton . I should be fair and state that I see a full page advertisement from a group seek to limit immigration into the United States , and there be a critique of the new Norton Anthology of Modern and Contemporary Poetry that do question the inclusion of several poet who write about nothing except identity theme , so there do seem to be a attempt at balance . overall , Harper 's magazine be definitely a left orient publication . I think I can live with it now that I know what to look for in future issue , but for some people this might present a significant problem . one good aspect : while there may be a mess of leftist at the helm of this magazine , at least they still know how to have a laugh . include in this issue be a description of a italian board game about woman of the night . base on Monopoly , the Italians call this game `` Puttanopoly , '' and the excerpt take from the card in the game be as hilarious as they be inappropriate for this review . after finish this issue of the magazine , I realize that even though I disagree with its politics , I be still look forward to receive my next issue . I read this magazine cover to cover in just a couple of day , and for the most part I feel I learn a lot about various topic in the process . you simply can not resist the price offer here for a year 's subscription , so give Harper 's Magazine a chance . no matter what you outlook on life , I guarantee you will find something here to tickle you fancy . +9 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 i almost , actually , i forget i order the magazine because it take more than a month to arrive . the website do say it take 4-6 week to come , so i think i should fairly give it a 4 star . the miss 5th star be for : indeed , it be a looong wait . +79 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 finally , I have find a magazine that keep my mind active long after I have set it down . each month I discover a deeper understanding into today 's issue and look at thing with a new perspective thanks to the thoughtful word in Harper 's . I recommend this magazine to anyone look to learn more about we country and the vast world around we . +441 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 I buy the one year subscription -lrb- December 2011 -rrb- but already receive `` notice '' that my subscription be about to run out and that I need to renew -lrb- now only 6 month later -rrb- .

I be lead to believe Amazon would make the transfer with the publishing company from NG . +515 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I order the subscription on 11\/24\/09 Hope it only take 4-6 week . have two more week to go . could have order it direct from ng and start it right away but be $ 10.00 more . it may turn out to be a better buy if I do not receive it ... +592 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 strangely , 2 arrive at the same time - I subscribe in early January and receive , at the end of the month , both the January and February issue . hey , can not complain - gotta love National Geographic . it seem like other subscriber through Amazon have have some bad experience , but no complaint here . look forward to peruse through the beautiful image and expand my perspective . +434 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I have be subscribe to Harper 's for year . in fact , I start after read editor Lewis Lapham 's `` money and class in America : Notes and observation on we civil Religion '' and at least one other book , a collection of he essay . First , Lapham 's `` column '' at the beginning of each issue I can not recommend enough . in the case of the recent Iraq war , for example , Mr. Lapham have the gut to stand up against it . and he do so in a eloquent and erudite way , less volatile than any stand I be able to publicly make . the rest of the content be the best I have ever read in a american periodical . for those who refer to Harper 's as `` leftist , '' I be force to disagree . there have be article that be not remotely `` leftist , '' with some of which I happen to agree . but most would consider most of the material `` liberal . '' -lrb- while I be not much of a short story reader , those who read they in this magazine say they be the best . -rrb- thanks so much , Mr. Lapham , for you erudite commentary on Iraq , on George W. , on 9\/11 , and on countless other subject .

Harpers will feed you need for the trivial . the index be a fascinating collection of fact and figure , and the front-of-book section be probably one of the most quirky , laugh-out-loud funny and stimulating in the business . 2 . great fiction . some up-and-comer submit , along with some old pro -lrb- a recent story by Joyce Carol Oates be outstanding -rrb- 3 . great feature . some great topic , albeit a lot of environmental stuff , it be still well-rounded and well-informed . great one I have read recently include a look at maid , suv , education reform and more . I can see why people might not like this magazine because it appear to be `` uppity . '' in fact , the only thing that annoy I about this magazine be the letter to the editor , where all of the ivy-league intellectual write in and try to prove how smart they be . but I think the appeal be more widespread than that . and you 'll be pay less than a dollar a issue -- you 'll definitely get you money 's worth . +605 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I have be a subscriber for about 40 year , from when it be name Astounding , and almost never disappoint . in addition to great author -lrb- many of whom I meet first on Astounding\/Analog page -rrb- , great short story , review , and feedback - do not miss the thought provoke editorial . no matter who be the current editor , the editorial make you check you firmly hold belief and preconceived notion , and \* think \* . you may not agree , but you 'll definitely think . well worth the money . +542 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I have have nothing but trouble with my Dwell subscription : June 2006 - miss issue .

I give it a second chance and it still do nothing for I . they will not get a third chance once this subscription run out . +401 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 sorry , but I have to chime in , since actual conservative do not seem to review this magazine . I would hate for the Standard to become the `` conservative magazine for the think leftist . '' this magazine be a taste of the conservative movement . it be a good way to ease into conservatism -lrb- and yes , they do comment on that whole lewinski\/purgery\/obstructing justice `` nonsense '' -rrb- the first thing you 'll notice about the Standard -lrb- and indeed most conservative publication -rrb- be how bare-bones it be . very few full page photograph with two word ever grace it be page . the page contain plain text , thoughtful opinion from various author . -lrb- the website even feature Larry Miller -- among the funniest comedien who do not need the `` f '' word -rrb- conservative and liberal alike will find enough to disagree with in this one -lrb- though the latter will have a harder time with it -rrb- .

I email the maagazine editor in a attempt to bypass the dope . I 'll give they another couple of day and then it be off to the Better Business Bureau or the local DA if I can not get anything do through the BBB . the real problem here be that this be the second time they do it to I . shame on I ! +330 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 this magazine be another part of the Murdoch empire . its worst sin be that its boring and not very conservative . it be found by William Kristol , John Podhoretz and Fred Barnes to be a institutional conservative publication under tight control and with deep enough pocket to dwarf its smaller rival . when conservativism be a living movement , it be best characterize as a collection of independent voice who while they respect each other do not always agree with each other . now , follow the Murdoch formulum , its about get as many people whatever they ideology on the payroll . the price of be on the payroll be of course not rock the boat . read conservative publication these day be like read the transcript of someone engage in a monologue in a echo chamber . its strange that there be so much `` conservative '' media today , but that most policy decision do not get debate or even discuss among conservative . they seem more interested in cover liberal than discuss idea or make proposal . and for god 's sake , no more article by those who be agnostic in they private life talk about how america need more god this or god that . if you go to be religious , at least find someone who be sincere . and no more article on the greatness of family by childless unmarried woman who be totally devote to career to the exclusion of anything else . +113 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 love this magazine . whish it have more `` how to do '' article though . +313 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 I be 28 year old and I have every issue of this magazine that have be publish since I be bear -lrb- thanks mom & Dad for the ongoing subscription -rrb- . it use to be the gold standard of magazine ... well , its really a Journal publication . the photography feature in the magazine be still top notch and beautiful . however , since when do subject like Cafeine and Stem cell -lrb- both recent cover story -rrb- have anything to do with geography ? this magazine use to spin tale of expedition to far fling land and interesting tribe and so on . perhaps its a testament to the fact that we be all become more and more globalized and the culture of the world be become more and more homogonize with every passing year , but it seem some of the subject matter as of late be really stretch the scope of the publication . second , I recall as a child and adolescent receive the map that come with the edition every 3 or 4 month . they would adorn the wall of my bedroom and eventually even my college dorm room . but in the past five year it seem that these fold out have include thing like picture of dinosaur , ancient fish , and big elephant ... not so geographical .

I be sure it be much more convenient for the publisher but in this day and age , they computer can easily keep track of when my subscription start and end . at this point , I be unlikely to renew this subscription because of this practice . +248 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 this magazine be a bit too conservative for my taste . I be a register Libertarian , so I like to consider the best of the Democrat and Republican party , but get government out of the picture as much as possible . I have read this magazine because it do have good writing from a conservative viewpoint . unfortunately , some of the material be too conservative -- the political agenda block the objective thinking . in that way , it be much like counter magazine from the liberal perspective . that be one reason why I prefer more objective magazine like the `` Economist '' . +920 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I really do not know . this be a gift renewal so it have not begin .

Asimov 's Science fiction be the bright shine light where fabulous sf be be write by writer that have not sell out to the Motion Picture megabuck . not that these story would not make great movie , many would , but editor Gardner Dozois demand excellence and get it . the writer in ASF write sf the way it should be , with the science of today extrapolate into the future . way to go and suscribe to this magazine +979 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 difficult to find present for 15 year old girl and I think this will be a hit . if so I have another who would love to read about she favorite star .

'' , `` OMG Ashley Tisdale like chocolate chip cookie '' . who really care about this stuff ? I want to hear story about tween star admit they be pregnant , or have cheat on they boyfriend . real article rather than cheap story ! the main reason the article be this bad be either a -rrb- they do not want to let the kiddie reader about the REAL life of celebrity , b -rrb- the reporter of these magazine have no idea how to get real gossip out of a celebrity . plus the article be soo short and the magazine be 80 % poster . the poster be also very cheap and they be soo bright that they be kinda eye sore . they pose no real value and make the celebrity look like 10 year old . then there be the quiz . the quiz be nothing more than stuff like `` what type of flirt be you '' , and `` be you a good friend ? '' . the cover I think be almost the worst part . it have no structure and it be basicaly a mixture of photo , bright color , and misleading headline . for example : a issue could read `` Miley spill major secret '' and she secret be `` she have Solja boy on she ipod '' . they make we think we be get a real good story , but it always turn out to be something we do not care about . J-14 magazine truelly be terrible and if you want a good magazine go read seventeen , Vogue , or something that be artice be not `` Selena Gomez have 32 Veera Bradley purse !

National Geographic have be go after some huge issue : the diamond trade , modern slavery , global warming , the epidemic of obesity , nuclear waste . they have cover these issue well and cast a bright light on many of the world 's darkest place . in this new age -- where we have be soften and too often cozen by the prevalence of opinion , attitude and style over fact -- National Geographic be the one place I know I can go for hard hit journalism and writing -lrb- and excellent image -- let 's not forget that here -rrb- that rise above the everyday . this remarkable magazine accomplish all this and still cover the interesting place of the world -lrb- and beyond -rrb- with excellence . one recent article of this sort that spring to mind be one they do on Badlands National Park .

'' ng hire some of the best portrait and nature photographer who trek thousand of mile each year to bring ng reader amazing and sometimes mesmerizing photo . this magazine truly open one 's eye and mind . my only minor complaint be the large number of ad in the magazine which sometimes look almost like part of a real story . BTW , Amazon be charge too much for this magazine . you can subscribe on NG 's website for almost half of what Amazon charge . +891 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 my poor attempt at a review do not give this magazine the due it deserve .

I do not really understand what Cosmo really be , but at the time I truly believe that be what every woman read . my mother find I read it with my friend and almost lose she mind , when I come back from school a vogue be wait for I in the mailbox . I think it be my mother 's but she tell I if I be go to idolize a woman 's magazine and would not stick to my highlight or american Girl , I would idolize something sensible . I be just a little girl glance at the glossy page of high end clothing from Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent , loving each beautiful model , amaze by the greatest photo ever take for a fashion magazine -lrb- Annie Leibovitz have become the most use and artistically draw photographer use by Vogue -rrb- , and the best article that can be use for brainless reading material or important advice . six year later I be still read Vogue -lrb- and can use the advice more productively than I could have when I be twelve . -rrb- I sort of mature faster than other girl , while they be talk about who be they take for the dance , I be discuss why the price of silk and taffeta be lower due to China 's economy expansion and about Tom Ford design for the retire Yves Saint Laurent ... well not exactly but you get my point . one down side be I have get addict to the evil the Vogue bring . from it be amazing ad , I have come to love the more expensive thing in life , like designer handbag and beautiful coat . I have even go on more diet I can count -lrb- but this come from Anna Wintour , who even tell Oprah `` I would love to be on we cover -- but you have to loose 30 '' , the woman be persistant about thinness in she magazine . -rrb- however , I truly feel that I have become the woman I be today instead of boxer wear tomboy with no manners at all , because of Vogue . the reason I give only four star be because I be truly start to apperciate W Magazine . it have the need to know gossip , the longer page , and more of a down to earth approach for those who really do not associate , or can stand , the socialite world . +585 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 as Vogue document the hottest look from the world 's best designer , the entire fashion industry hold its breath in anticipation - then scramble to interpret what Vogue dictate : the magazine be that influential . if you be look for good , practical advice on cosmetic or pick the right style swimsuit for you body type , you be better off with glamour or Marie Claire . what you 'll find in Vogue be not really `` practical '' but rather high falutin ' , haute couture kind of stuff . compare to other popular woman 's magazine , what distinguish Vogue from the rest be how it successfully situate the fashion\/beauty business as a vital , viable and artistic component of culture and society . so you be not just get fashion layout to look at , but also great article on writer , architect , actor , art exhibit , and so on . most everything picture in Vogue be of course , out of the average person 's price range , and the overall magazine 's tone make no apology for this snobbery . but I still think it be a beautiful magazine to look at for its artistic vision , and for well-written article on culture . +849 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 this be order for my granddaughter out of town also . she have not yet receive it since the first issue be not schedule to arrive until early Feb. .

Printed on heavy , glossy stock . ton of content . typically there be at least one celebrity article with western connection per issue -lrb- recent example be Paul Newman , Willie Nelson , and Harrison Ford -rrb- , one major architectural article , usually a large ranch or lodge , and a art article highlight a western artist . other content be always western-themed , but be all over the map , include event , entertainment , travelogue , jewelry , etc. . all well-written and worth reading . Cowboys and Indians also pack a lot of advertising content . in this case , I view that as a positive , as 95 % of it be for product and company you will not see in mass market magazine . in other word , if western product interest you , this magazine be probably the best single source to find they . my wife and I make a practice of flip through the ad at the kitchen table with coffee when a new issue come in . it also hold the price down on what would otherwise be a very expensive magazine , give its content and quality . as a whole , the magazine have a decide high-end tilt . you be not go to find inexpensive product , starter home article , etc. in this magazine . although that may sound somewhat elitist , the magazine do not come off that way . +416 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 this magazine be extremely well design , produce and it be content be intriguing .

Peter 's arrogance and pretty much be oblivious to the way the girl around he feel about he be right on point . Tink , Wendy , and even Tiger Lily all want Peter to be something he can never be , a man . while he willingness to sacrafice for the good of other and be a knight in shin armor of sort must be what draw the girl in , but on a personal level he can never connect in a mature way . even when he start out on a nobel effort -lrb- like save Tiger Lily -rrb- he get so catch up in the game he just about forget that he be there to save the young lady . this be certainly a impression of Peter give in the book . you can not really hate he for he moment of be a silly boy , especially when it come to girl , because that be all he be and all he can ever be , a boy . and as for the ` jealouse woman ' reaction that circle the film , it be important to note they be not woman -- they be girl . yes , Tink be a fairy but she sense of thing seem to be at the same level as wendy . some of the complaint I have hear about the film be the way the Indians be portray . and quite a few line -lrb- ` ugh ' , ` how ' , the ` red man ' song -rrb- be proably a unfortunate product of the time . but the fact be , when I be a kid I do run around say ` bwah , bwah , bwah ' when I play ` indian ' . so it make sense in a world lock into a child 's sense of the world the indian -lrb- to proper english child -rrb- would be a bit exagurated . so all in all , Disney do a pretty good job adapt this into a film . and it be still a favorite . all in all it be a good peice .

I be glad to get this dvd , and the restoration be excellent . the special feature be grand ... except one . Disney , can you please quit re-arrange good old song for your new artist ? seriously , `` second star to the Right '' be a magical song , but the new video by t-squad be anything but . -lrb- by the way , same thing with the Ashley Tisdale performance of `` kiss the Girl '' on the new dvd of the little mermaid . -rrb- because of this , I drop a star out of 5 . the picture be pristine and clear all throughout . the color be just perfect . the sound be crisp and clear . Disney , you do a wonderful job restore this picture . if you love this movie , buy this dvd . oh , and there be a trailer for a suppose re-release of `` return to Neverland '' on dvd . when 's that go to happen , though ? +660 Movies_TV POS 5 I be not sure about this movie when I buy it but my 4 year old and I sit to watch it together . we both love it ! the twist be very clever and be a great `` what if '' . the chacter voice be similar to the orginial and the animation be really good . the cat still cause trouble and be just as funny as in he first movie . the stepmother be the evil familar character that be in the first movie . I like the fact that even though there be bad people out there , it show that they can have a change of heart . this movie be definately worth buying especially if you like the first Cinderella . +707 Movies_TV POS 4 Peter Pan be one of my favorite all-time Disney movie . it be a very good example of the wonderful sense of humor and imagination Walt have when he be still alive . it be marvelous to see the film again that as a child I have rent and re-watch so many time my father finally buy it for I . the film have go through some restoration work and the color on this dvd version be vivid and beautiful , unlike the fade and sometimes scratchy film I remember from the earlier release I own as a child . perhaps it be also a marvel of dvd compare VHS . I would definitely consider this the collector 's version of Peter Pan . however , I be hope for a bit more in the way of special feature . I feel this way about most of Disney 's release to dvd . I would love to have see more about the development of the film , perhaps a trailer or new reel for its first release , anything . however , the only feature include be a alternate soundtrack in French . I still think that it be worth the extra price for the dvd -lrb- but then , my original VHS video be eventually shred by a broken VCR , so I be glad to know that will never happen again -rrb- . it be certainly a movie I still plan to watch again and again . +951 Movies_TV POS 5 the second season be on par with the first . the story and plot twist be not quite as clever , although I like how they weave first season into the second . I think the `` Torchwood '' idea be a bit over the top . I like what they do with Micky and Rose 's character . the highlight for I be see Sarah Jane and k-9 again . doctor # 10 do not have as many facet as doctor # 9 , which be a bit disappointing . I think he need a bit more mystery and darkness to play the Doctor well . still , I enjoy the series and can not wait for the third . +605 Movies_TV POS 5 this digitally restore platinum edition of the Disney classic breathe new life into the movie , put it in front of a new generation of viewer with more vibrant color that stand out and surround sound that will make you jump off you couch . as for the story , it really never get old . like Dumbo , Pinnochio or Bambi , one can watch it over and over and feel like the first day , when you dream alongside the gang , that you could fly to Neverland . the extra contain definitely make for a interesting complement , with the segment with Disney himself top the list . as a package , if you do not already own the movie , it be highly recommendable , and if you do , it may not be a bad idea to sell you use movie and get you hand on this great collector 's item . +542 Movies_TV POS 5 another greatly produce movie from Jerry Bruckheimer which showcase the talent which will Smith have not only as a singer but as well as a actor . with the addition of the legendery gene Hackman , the cobination produce great specticale for the audience . with the ever evolve plot in this movie , it will be always interese to watch time and time again . however one minor disadvantage be that the mune of the dvd could have be improve . overall , a great movie to enjoy for evey end of the audience spectrum . +7 Movies_TV POS 5 `` Peter Pan '' , the 2nd Disney Classic that I add to my dvd library be another keeper . another favorite from my childhood , the film be still a great experience to watch . the animation be still classic , as be the story . of course , the appeal of the film have change for I , from what it be when I be a kid . it be now a classic animation film , rather then just a cartoon . I be suprise with Disney do not announce that this film be go to be part of they `` platinum edition '' , but this dvd -lrb- while no extra -rrb- be still worth the purchase for the film its self . the picture be adequete as be the Dolby Digital Mix -lrb- Adequete for a animated film that be -rrb- . if you be a dvd Collector , you should strongly consider purchase this dvd , and all of Disney 's classic . +285 Movies_TV POS 5 this be easily one of the best movie i have ever see . now , of course there be part in it that not everyone should see , but i think it be worth cover you son\/daughter 's eye . now i be a kid on they side and i be allow to see this because Will Smith be one of my favorite actor , so i see the whole thing . -lrb- i be 13 -rrb- in conclusion , i think that this be a very suitible movie for , let say 9 and up . thanks will +225 Movies_TV POS 5 my daughter love the movie . as usual disney do a great job on this movie . +470 Movies_TV NEG 2 ever see a movie that take you so far that you actually see the character as someone really talk in front of you ? Will Smith , Lisa Bonet and Tom Sizemore -lrb- amongst the other -rrb- , be act too hard . they be not convince enough to make I feel like they be real character . again , the action be great . but the acting be contrived and predictable . +763 Movies_TV POS 5 Peter Pan , Captain Hook , Tinkerbell , the lose boy and the darling family all originate in the mind of J.M. Barrie -lrb- 1860-1937 -rrb- and first come to life on the London stage in 1904 . a instant success , it have be through many adaptation but have remain a staple of both stage and screen for over one hundred year , attract such talent as Maude Adams , Jean Arthur , Boris Karloff , Mary Martin , and Cyril Ritchard . among the most durable interpretation be the 1953 animated version from Walt Disney . Walt Disney Studios break new ground in the 1930 and early 1940 with such memorable film as SNOW WHITE , DUMBO , and FANTASIA -- but World War II prove a major drain on studio resource , and it be not until the release of PETER PAN that the studio once more hit its stride : a truly remarkable flight of fancy grace with stunning art , animation , and characterization , it have since become one of the studio 's `` signature '' film , one of the handful of animated film by which other animated film be judge . the story differ slightly from both the earlier and later stage and film production , but the core remain the same . Peter Pan , the boy who refuse to grow up , visit the darling family of late-victorian London -- and entice the child away to never never land and the joy of fight pirate , battle Indians , rolick with the lose boy , and pixie dust provide -lrb- with comic ill-will -rrb- by a honest-to-goodness fairy name Tinkerbell . and for once the restoration be indeed all it be crack to be : the color be the intense , jewel-like range of Technicolor , return the film to golden warmth of its original design ; the sound be almost flawless ; and the bonus offer insight into the creative process involve . there have be some complaint that PETER pan contain racist overtone in its portrait of never never land 's Indians . the accusation of racism have haunt Disney over the year , arise in connection with DUMBO 's crow , a edit in FANTASIA design to exclude a singularly unfortunate portrait of servile `` centaurette , '' and the SONG of the south , a film the studio have do its best to sweep entirely under the rug . those film must be judge on they own merit , but where PETER PAN be concern -- and I speak as a person of native american origin -- the `` Red Skins '' be not present in a meanspirited light ; they be instead as much fairtale character as the wonderfully imagine Tinkerbell and Captain Hook . I suspect that most child already know that cartoon character be not really real , but if you worry that you own child might take it amiss there be certainly no harm in point out that rather obvious fact . Disney bonus tend to be hit-or-miss , but in this instance they be more hit than miss . the `` Games and Activities '' be rather tiresome , as be the music video `` the Scond Star to the Right . '' but the behind-the-scenes feature be knock-out all the way , offer early interpretation of the story , song that be write and later drop , and all the rest . the audio commentary , which include numerous current and archival comment , be particularly informative and enjoyable . I be not one of these `` Disney freak '' who fall all over himself with every studio release . there be indeed Disney film , include some very famous one , that I do not much like ; there have be some `` restore '' release that do not greatly impress I . but there be no two way about this one : this be a great restoration of a great animated film . strongly recommend . GFT , Amazon Reviewer +137 Movies_TV NEG 1 this movie be horrible and ruin how magnificent the first original one be , it might be great for little kid to watch but Disney make sequel after sequel and they just keep make all of the original look so bad . this movie try to be comedic and it be not , it be stupid funny . Anastasia meet a guy in the 2nd one but in the third she talk about never find true love and try to steal away the prince until the end , the stepmother be not wear the same color dress when they flash back , the voice be not even close to the original , except for the stepmother , the fairy godmother some how manage to stay frozen even when they go back into time , it just do not make any sense on how they make this movie . Walt Disney would be roll over in he grave with how many poorly make sequel Disney have do , it make Disney look like they be be desperate to make money when clearly they be wealthy enough !! do not buy this movie rent it and burn it , it be not as much money to WASTE !!! +670 Movies_TV POS 5 you all be probably think `` who the hell be jason lee . '' well jason lee happen to be the dude in the beginnig of this movie . the college buddy . anyways he play a great part . he be such a great actor . and the moment i find out it be he i watch this movie over and over again . he be great . this be one of he more serious role tho . he normally star in comedy . but still this movie get five star cause i be all in love with this jason lee guy . +299 Movies_TV NEG 1 a very long and boring movie to say the least . it be way too confusing and have enough story for 3 movie . it get too frantic sometimes and the end be all mess and keep I way too confused . not enough explain . good act though -lrb- which be what save it -rrb- but there be way to much empty space in between . +925 Movies_TV NEU 3 I love the cast in this film . Hackman and Smith have do some really excellent work . while I generally enjoy this film for what it be , it could have be much more . I be somehow remind of `` Conspiracy Theory '' in that it be a disappointment consider the possibility it offer . mostly , the problem be in the basic premise of the story . any one of thousand of conflict could have be play out , but instead , we see a personal crime in Voigt 's character take out on a unsuspecting citizen . this may sound minor , but we could have see a glimpse of some big-brother massacre , and the minor hero who overcome it . some of what be offer here make you wonder -lrb- in worried fascination -rrb- what be possible , but generally I can say this be not a must-see movie . if you see Conspiracy Theory , do not bother with this one . I give it 3 star in case you do not catch Conspiracy Theory , otherwise , 2 star . +467 Movies_TV POS 5 I do not care if Will Smith have it go on , I know he do , cause he be sleek , smooth , and funny . this movie be one of the best movie I have see in a long time . besides the fact that I have see some bad movie in my time this one have take the cake . this be about a guy who be a lawyer -lrb- will Smith -rrb- and he meet up with a guy he know from College , and he drop a item into he bag , it end up be that this guy film the murder of a congressman the government be try to induce into pass a bill that allow the CIA , NSA and other agency to basically invade everyone in the world 's privacy , and watch for anything and everything they can think of . I love this movie because it be think out , and the acting be superb . Gene Hackman be a great support actor and Will Smith have the golden globe for this job . it be definatly different then any of the other movie he have be retain to act in . this movie have just the right amount of comedy\/action\/thrills . the only quirk about it be that be really long . the director really know what he\/she be do in the motion picture .

Peter Pan himself love these story , and when he find out that there will be no more story because wendy be move from the nursery , he take matter into he own hand . he teach the kid how to fly and take they to Neverland , where the adventure start . no matter what you age be , if you have any taste , you 'll love this movie . +697 Movies_TV POS 5 I love David Tennant . the second season be as good as the first - and Tennant be a marvel . `` tooth and claw '' be a great episode feature Pauline Collins as Queen Victoria be chase by a Ware Wolf -lrb- one of the all time great episode -rrb- . gatiss return to write the wonderful `` the idiot 's Lantern '' -lrb- set in the 50 's -rrb- ; `` Love & Monsters '' be hysterical ; `` School Reunion '' bring back Sarah Jane and have Anthony Head -lrb- Giles from `` Buffy the Vampire Slayer '' as a baddie -rrb- ; `` the Girl in the Fireplace '' be wonerfully inventive ; and the Cybermen be back . +904 Movies_TV POS 5 grant , it take I awhile to warm up to David Tennant 's Doctor . he version be very different from Eccleston -- a personal favorite of mine . but thanks to episode like New Earth , Tooth & Claw , School Reunion , Satan pit and other -- now I be a big fan . and if you buy this dvd set , you will be too ! Russell T.

Barrie 's play , PETER PAN , in 1904 , the story of the boy who never grow up have become a part of popular western culture . it be a story that child love and that adult often adore . it even coin a sociological phrase -lrb- Peter Pan syndrome -rrb- . the play have be perform on stage throughout the world and to this day it remain one of the most popular show perform in child 's theater company . it should not be a surprise to anyone that Peter Pan be one of Walt Disney 's favorite story of all time . he star in a school production of the play as a child and the 1924 silent movie of the story spark the imagination of the young filmmaker . Walt Disney have intend to make PETER PAN he second major animation production after SNOW WHITE . however , it take many year to get the look right and to adapt the story -lrb- Disney , after all , be a master of take a story and change it and create it to he own liking -rrb- . of course , there be also WWII which stop the production of the film for almost six year . when the film be finally release in 1953 , the film be almost a immediate success . Disney market the film as a `` classic '' and even though the film produce some memorable character that have become collective image of we culture , such as Tinkerbell , Smee , and Captain Hook , and be note for a couple of historical reason -lrb- it be the first film to have Peter be play by a boy and it be the last film rko distribute for Disney -rrb- the film be not all that spectacular . in fact , after the film 's release Walt Disney himself be disappoint by final product . yet , Disney 's version of PETER PAN be love by child and look upon fondly by adult , just like the story of Peter Pan always have . in that since , the movie be a classic . the Walt Disney Company have release PETER PAN several time on dvd , but if you be a fan of the film , the platinum version be the one worth owning . the platinum edition of PETER PAN come in a two-disc set . the film itself be find on the first disc . there be a commentary that include comment from some of the film illustrator and performer , but the commentary be more of a vocal documentary about the making of the film rather than a commentary about the movie itself . the first disc also include a preview for the upcome cgus film tinkerbell -lrb- I be not sure from the sneak peak if it will be a theatrical release or a direct to dvd -rrb- , sing-along version of the film 's song , and a read along story entitle `` Peter 's Playful Prank '' . the real special feature of the extra feature be find on disc two . this disc include a delete song from the film entitle `` the Pirate song '' that be accompany by the actual rough sketch intend for the sequence . there be two music video . one of the music video have a group of pre-teeny bopper name T-Squad jump up and down to a technoize hip hop version of the song `` second star on the Right '' . the other music video have Paige O'Hara singing along to the song `` Neverland '' , a number write for PETER PAN , but that be never include but be recently discover in the Disney archive . this video be preview by a short featurette describe how the song be discover and why it be write . there be three child 's game on the disc , include a Sudoku challenge name after Smee . then there be several featurette . these be what I find to be the most interesting part of the second disc . first there be `` you can fly '' that be a look at how PETER PAN be make . next up be a reading of one of Walt Disney 's own writings that be originally publish in 1953 in a now defunct magazine to herald the release of the film . the piece be call `` why I make PETER PAN '' and be accompany by picture of young Walt and dramatic reenactment . this piece explain Walt Disney 's love for the story of Peter Pan , how he grow up on the story , he experience of play Peter in a school production , etc. . another featurette I really enjoy be `` the Peter Pan that almost be '' . this segment include two of the researchers\/producers of the platinum edition go through original illustration , sketch , and storyboard to illustrate how Walt 's original idea of the film evolve through the year . for instance , Nana be suppose to accompany the Darlings to Neverland , but this idea be ax just before final production begin . another featurette be `` the Peter Pan Story -- 1952 '' which be a archival promotional film strip . strip like these use to be show in theater before feature presentation , along with newsreel , short film , and cartoon . I guess you could say they be the original cartoon and trailer , but these thing be so much more interesting . besides , they be not try to sell anything else except for see the movie itself . the last extra on disc two include numerous art gallery that show illustration , sketch , storyboard , etc. from throughout the making of the film , include some thing that have not be see before by the public . +436 Movies_TV POS 5 I buy this dvd on a whim and when I go to preview it , I could not help myself - I have to join in . some of the move make you feel a bit silly , but they be fun and different ! the instructor look like she be have a great time and the move be pretty easy to follow . the move be a mix of silly , cute and sexy . overall I think this be a really fun workout ! it be great for people who give in while work out because the move seem so silly , cute , or fun that you want to keep go . I think the instructor be great , the scenery be pretty , and the workout be fun ! +330 Movies_TV POS 5 I always want to know what would happen after the Happly ever after and this movie let you know . i have love Cinderella since i be young and love the story and this movie be great i be glad that it all work out in the end if you love the story the first time you will want to watch this movie and you will enjoy it . +113 Movies_TV NEU 3 no company anywhere in popular culture extend and stretch its intellectual property like Walt Disney Pictures . its beloved character appear in film after sequel after straight-to-dvd after tv show after stage production , they story tell live and draw from nearly every conceivable angle . this , plus the studio 's diligent protection of its intellectual property , have lead to the world see its folklore through Disney 's lens . -lrb- quick , think of Snow White , or beauty and the beast or Aladdin , story tell for hundred of year . whose image do you see ? -rrb- if Disney do not retell its sequeled story with quite the grandeur and reverence of Walt Disney 's supervised original -lrb- think `` Fantasia 2000 , '' `` jungle book ii '' -rrb- , it respect they enough to honor the original 's spirit while approach they from modern sensibility . so it be with `` Cinderella III : A twist in Time , '' a pleasant , occasionally thought-provoking successor to Walt Disney 's 1950 original . this variation of the tale involve a steal wand get into the hand of Cinderella 's evil stepmother , rewind Cinderella 's story to where she lose glass slipper do not fit . the Prince , dash and noble as in Disney movie for 70 year , could thus be mislead and manipulate into marry Cinderella 's sister , Anastasia . while no classic Disney princess , Anastasia -lrb- voice by tress mcnellie -rrb- provide the film 's heart in she sentimental scene with the king , and she song yearning for the love Cinderella have and they wicked stepmother -lrb- voice by Susan Blakeslee in classic Disney villainess mode -rrb- seem determine to steal for she . other favorite return from the original . helpful mouse Gus and Jaq sing the film 's highlight song clue the prince in on what happen to he `` Cinderelly . '' the mischievous , near-cheshire cat Lucifer nearly steal the show in a funny food fight scene . the paltry extra be highlight by a behind-the-scenes look at a Cinderella stage show on Disney 's cruise line , and a overlong , simplistic dvd game young child will tire of quickly . `` Cinderella III '' 's animation be not at the theatrical classic ' level , but still above traditional tv animation . at 74 minute -lrb- near perfect for young child -rrb- , the film gently and effectively point out the `` perfect year '' Cinderella sing of in the film 's first scene come not just from a foot fitting a glass slipper , but two hand and heart reach for the same thing and find it together . this modern twist in moral , fitting into a modern twist in a hoary fairy tale , make `` a twist in Time '' a pleasant , recommend surprise . +313 Movies_TV POS 5 help the young to believe they can still survive & ` fly away ' awhile , out of the chaos all around they . +140 Movies_TV POS 4 we attend a special viewing of this movie with 10 preschooler . they all love the movie . I think it be well do and have a very nice message for all to learn . +419 Movies_TV POS 4 I be thrill when the new Dr who series come to the USA . Christopher Eccelston 's characterization of the doctor during the first season be more than I could have hope for . so I be very disappointed when he choose not to do a second series . then when I hear that `` Barty Crouch Jr '' from Harry Potter be step into the role well I be resign to never watch the good doctor again . to say that I be surprise with how much I like Tennant 's take on the doctor would be a understatement . he bring he own brand of quirky joie d vivre to the role that both fit and be different from Eccelston 's Doctor he characterization have a harder edge - he be willing to take a bit more violent stand and he be willing to let he feeling for Rose show a bit more the end of the second series really point out the tragedy of be the doctor -lrb- immortality be not all it be crack up to be -rrb- . I be glad Tennant be come back for season 3 . it will be very interesting to see what new character pop up since several from last season have go on to have spin off show in the UK . if you be a old time Dr who fan , like british tv , or be in to sci fi , you will enjoy this new incarnation of the old favorite . +248 Movies_TV NEU 3 ` enemy of the State ' be a mostly enjoyable exercise in ` north by Northwest ' Lite . Will Smith be the professional who become a innocent on the run from both the bad guy and the law . the novelty in this case be that both be the same - and when the axis of evil have the resource of the State behind it , the odds be fairly stack against its enemy . of course , like Cary Grant in Hitchcock 's film , Smith be not really innocent - though essentially decent and a loving father , he be complacent , arrogant , politically apathetic , and have cheat on he wife . he have a oedipal problem to work through , have to put a bossy wife-mother in she place and supercede a father figure -lrb- brill -rrb- . the subsequent peril he undergo be a purgatorial chastening , a test he must take to prove himself a adequate , trustworthy family man again . anything that get in the way - be it the mob who threaten he client , or the woman he have the affair with - must be remove . it be good to remember this dubiously punitive aspect of the film whenever anyone talk about its liberal paranoia . i nearly fall off my chair laugh when I read that certain critic who should know better take the film 's ` politics ' of paranoia seriously : some even suggest a family resemblance to Coppola 's ` the conversation ' -lrb- Gene Hackman play a similar character in both film -rrb- , one of the most difficult film in american cinema . ` enemy ' be not difficult or ambiguious or doubt - it know exactly what it stand for . unlike Hitchcock , who use he camera to implicate the viewer in he matrix of voyeurism , Scott 's camera stand outside the various weapon of surveillance of the film , uncover , rather than spy ; clarify , rather than obscure . unlike Coppola 's film , we know from the start who the enemy be and what he weapon be - it be merely a matter of be vigilant and get rid of he . yeah right . Tony Scott be no more interested in political paranoia than he be in flag-waving or militarism in ` top gun ' . both narrative give he a structure within which he can practice he vision of total Cinema . so the best bit of ` enemy ' be the chase - the splattersome pursuit of Jason Lee ; the whole hotel sequence with Hackman , as Smith be seek by increasingly hysterical Feds ; and the tunnel run - even if these be more keystone than Keaton . it be less interesting when people make speech about privacy , the ` surveillance society ' and the connection between the telecommunications industry -lrb- whoop ! -rrb- and the military-industrial-complex -lrb- or whatever it be -rrb- . if I want to know about politics or threat to my civil liberty or establishment fascism in the US , I 'll go to a newspaper , NOT Hollywood . still , in the ` light ' of ` recent event ' , ` enemy ' have a lot more bite than it use to , with reference to both us-backed Afghans and pretzel . +920 Movies_TV POS 5 when I place my order , I rec would confirmation that the order be place , ETA and track info . this information up front be a relief to receive when you do not know really who you be order from and sure enough , the dvd come in the time indicate .

I can not wait for series 3 +886 Movies_TV POS 5 my grandchild -lrb- okay , I too -rrb- thoroughly enjoy this film . the extra be informative and interesting for adult and child . +979 Movies_TV POS 5 David Tennant 's first series as the doctor prove a worthy follow-up to Eccleston . geeky and manic , Tennant 's energetic doctor be quite possibly the most charismatic to date . Billie Piper return as Rose and together , they take on some new monster and old foe . every story 's a winner in this season , range from Daleks vs. cyber-men , to the return of k9 , to battle the Devil himself . while new viewer can easily pick up from here , this series will especially please fan of the old series . and do not forget , there be also a plethora of great special feature , most notably some fantastic delete scene . +945 Movies_TV POS 5 Disney do a good job with this sequel . good story about what might have not be . +115 Movies_TV NEG 1 I purchase this as a birthday gift for my grand daughter and send it in the mail to she to she disappointment it do not work in any of the dvd player they have I be sorry that I buy this dvd and will not buy again +968 Movies_TV POS 5 I love this movie . if you be into techno stuff , you 'll love it . it be a different movie for Will Smith , not so much comedy , but he be good in it . I would totally recomend this movie , when the price go down I know that I will be buy it ! +229 Movies_TV NEU 3 I be glance at the other review and notice some reviewer wonder what become of the missing scene in which the audience be ask if they believe in faerie . the fact of the matter be this scene , which be vital to the original play , be purposely omit by Walt Disney be he animated version . in fact , when the Disney version appear in 1953 , many reviewer who be great fan of the Barrie play complain about this , among they , Bosley Crowther , film critic for the New York Times , and Herbert Brenon , a british director who make a very popular silent film version of Peter Pan in 1925 . why would Disney do this ? Crowther speculate that Disney assume that Americans be more literal mind in 1953 than they british counterpart be in 1904 -lrb- when the play be first stage -rrb- , and so would not buy into all that faerie stuff . also , Crowther sardonically add that perhaps Disney be afraid that Americans would find it simply too embarrassing to deal with too much `` pixiness . '' go figure . anyway , that be the story behind the missing scene . +777 Movies_TV POS 5 I do not care what those other people be say about Will Smith play the same exact part and have no range of act talent . this movie be outstanding . I have already buy it and have watch it about five time and have yet to get bore with it . all other support character give terrific performance . I be thrill with this movie from begin to end and I believe that anyone who love a great action film that keep you on the edge of you seat need to at least rent the movie . +151 Movies_TV NEG 2 I be not impressed . although this dvd receive some high rating , I tend to agree with those who give it only a few star . the video seem throw together and unorganized . I get the concept but you would be better off put in you favorite music cd and dancing around . the narration be annoying and the workout be bore because it feel like there be no structure . I would pass on this video . just my personal recommendation . +286 Movies_TV NEU 3 in this third dvd edition of the Disney classic , the color have be drastically alter , the contrast be subdue and the bitrate be not very high . the color be slant , not so much towards yellow as towards gold . everything be imbue with a golden glow which make Tinker Bell the real heroine of the story and bring out the golden highlight on everything from Mr. Darling 's cuff link to the golden ornament on Hook 's ship . Peter Pan 's tunic be at time almost goldenrod instead of Lincoln green . there be no true blue sky , just a variant of egyptian Blue . neverland sometimes look like you lazy neighbor 's parch garden . the sky be often milky white or beige . the red and blue wallpaper in the darling child 's bedroom be now brownish . Mermaid lagoon have lose its greenery and turn a repulsive labium pink ... the funny thing be , once you accept that the action take place in Neverland in the fall , with lot of brown , yellow and orange leaf everywhere , you sort of learn to like it . it be a wild , one might say `` experimental '' , concept that must have be arrive at after much joint-smoking at DTS Digital image -lrb- the restorer -rrb- . it be not so much a restoration as a revision . and then , not so much a Technicolor restoration as a eastmancolor restoration -lrb- little joke here -rrb- . it be very strange . on the down side , the Redskins have turn a politically correct pink . on the plus side , every brown and yellow surface be make to shine unnaturally , even at night , and lot of thing be visible in the dark that be not before . the reverse be true in the daytime . more revisionism : I notice a slight shimmy in the London cityscape at night just before the camera pan up to Neverland have be eliminate in this version . can they do that ? in the indoor scene , this slant towards yellow make sense as it replicate the warm , nostalgic , homey glow of lamplight . otherwise ... the best thing I can say be that it give the viewer a brand new -lrb- though some might say old-fashioned -rrb- perspective on a film he be see maybe too often and the total effect be dream-like and reminiscent of a yellowed full-colour illustration in a old picture book . a quick look at the numerous art gallery in the extra will remind you that there should have be a whole lot more green and blue everywhere accord to the original artwork . as the picture be slightly zoom out compare to previous version , this too add to the majesty and delicacy of the action . it be less `` in you face '' . where the pe really shine , though , be in the sound department which might persuade I to buy this edition -lrb- I only rent -rrb- . the whole soundtrack -lrb- dialog , singing voice , orchestra , sound effect -rrb- have be completely rethought , refurbish and rechannel creatively for 5.1 -lrb- in french and spanish too -rrb- . there be a lot of work evident also in the original mono track . but in the enhance home theater mix -lrb- the word `` enhance '' appear three time on the cover -rrb- , very interesting thing happen . the dialog be mostly in the center speaker but the music come regularly through the other four speaker . at some point , individual instrument be make to come through all the surround speaker -lrb- like the harp , when Peter appear on the rooftop , instead of the flute , like you might guess -rrb- . the sound of instrument and voice have be give more resonance . it be less harsh , dry or abrupt . the child voice be almost bearable in this version . there be nothing grate in the brass or in any other part of the orchestra . everything sound modern , natural and free-flowing . of course , the sound effect have be amplify with bass and the mix make good use of directional effect -lrb- Tinker Bell 's glockenspiel and celeste , the crocodile 's tick clock , Peter 's ghostly voice in Skull Rock -rrb- . the whole film become a symphony where the music take center stage without overshadow the character voice , which be now disentangle from the surrounding music . this be another element that add to the dream-like quality of the whole and one that I like very much . by comparison , the 5.1 mix of the special edition -lrb- 2002 -rrb- and the 4.0 mix of the limited edition -lrb- 1999 -rrb- be only fat , untreated mono with lot of harshness in the loud passage and instability in the soft one . well ... consider the radical change make to the color palette , maybe they could have call this the `` Golden Slumbers Edition '' or `` Pixy dust Edition '' or , better still `` global warming edition '' ... and it be not something you can correct with the Tint button -lrb- which add red or green -rrb- or with the Cold setting -lrb- which add a little blue -rrb- . but it be perfect if you be sound-oriented and a improve sound be very important to you , if you have no memory of what `` Peter Pan '' use to look like or if you really picture Hook 's harpsichord as be make of solid gold . +712 Movies_TV POS 4 wow , I remember see this movie a long time ago and do not really give it much thought . it just seem like Hollywood hysteria and way out there fiction for the most part . I have forget about the movie . recently I be shop for some dvd 's here on Amazon and this movie come up on my recommend list . so I buy a copy and watch it . this movie really freak I out watch it now in a post 9\/11 world . the measure take by those in power to get what they want - `` the Telecommunications , Security , and Privacy Act '' and dead on similarity of the power enact by the `` the Patriot Act '' should be a wakeup call for everyone . to quote the chairman at the beginning of the movie : `` Invasion of privacy be more like it '' , and he go on to state : `` this bill be not the first step to the surveillance of society , it be the surveillance of society '' ... of course the government bad guy play by Voight say : `` it be just liberal hysteria '' the chairman have the good sense to say : `` I be not go to sit in congress and pass a bill that allow the government to point a camera and microphone at anything they darn well please ! '' all this be in the opening scene of this movie . now I would have give the movie 5 star , but some of the thing be a stretch as far as capability and thing happen which I will not go into in this review . in this post 9\/11 world I feel this movie be dead on relevant and the ability and power the government have give itself by play on we fear be unprecedented . this movie should scare and provoke some think about what we have and be do to we society today and just what do freedom really mean . this be a ho-hum movie that have become a great movie due to the turn of world event and apparent level of manipulation and terrorizing of society that be happen today . pick up a copy of this movie or pull it off the shelf and watch it today and see if it do not open you eye and give this movie a new edge that it do not have when it first come out ! +371 Movies_TV NEG 1 buy this dvd think it might show a few more dancemove for Bollywood . I be so disappointed with it ! 3 woman in a Bollywood inspire set who frollock about for 50min demonstrate move that a 5 year old would do better . very badly demonstrate and not at all ` sassy ' ... this be constantly use to describe what you should be do while dancing . not at all inspiring and ideal for 14-16yr old who fancy themselves . really bad dvd and it be not a workout . save yourself the bother of get it only to return it and just get any of the other dvd !! such a pity as some of the review be positive and influence my decision to purchase - will be more cautious in future . +226 Movies_TV POS 4 Peter Pan may not be as beautifully craft as Snow White or Pinocchio , and the music may not reach the same height , but even four-star Disney be pretty darned fine entertainment . like those earlier masterpiece , Disney 's Peter Pan be better than the original -lrb- worried that the Disney version be not politically correct ? try Barrie 's story and suffer apoplexy -rrb- . Saw Peter Pan when I be three year old and enjoy it thoroughly again 37 and now 51 year later . it may not be highly refine , but it be irresistible nonetheless , and mile ahead of anything Disney have make in the past 30 year . to those who want Disney to edit out the knife and gun , cast the Indians and female in they modern p.c. stereotype , and give Peter a monologue about save the environment in Never Land , keep in mind that when the studio get finish please not just you but everybody else with a gripe , there would be nothing left of the movie or of much else write before the current age of political correctness . give I Hamlet and Paradise lose exactly as they be create . Peter Pan , too . +10 Movies_TV POS 5 purchase this thru rare video in FlA. via Amazon . it be as advertise , English , Widescreen Version , excellent sound & NEW .

I have be wait and wait for they to release this . the first Disney Christmas show from 1950 be release as part of the laser disc special box-set edition of Alice in Wonderland . I believe the show be also on the special two-disc dvd edition of that film , although it be not list as one of the special feature . this SECOND Disney Christmas Show , however , be still gather dust in the vault somewhere . I know that it still exist , though , since I have see it in present some year ago at the museum of television art in NYC . one final comment : for the reviewer who correrctly complain to those who look for widescreen version of film that be never make widescreen : the first widescreen film be not the King and I in 1956 , but rather the robe , in 1953 -lrb- cinemascope -rrb- . the first Disney outing in cinemascope be Toot , Whistle , Plunk and Boom , also release in 1953 , and Disney 's first widescreen animated feature be Lady and the Tramp -lrb- 1954 -rrb- . +767 Movies_TV POS 4 I rent this to see if I want to buy it for my 2 year old and I have decide not to . it be actually pretty good , the animation be magical and the story be of course delightful . but for a 2 year old , I do not like how Captain Hook shoot and kill one of the pirate , -lrb- it happen off-screen , but there be a lot of gun in general -rrb- . and I be unhappy with how the indian be depict , -lrb- this be 1953 -rrb- especially in the song `` what make the red man red ? '' lot of `` how '' and `` Ugh '' . that be one song I do not want he to learn . +380 Movies_TV POS 5 of the modern Dr. Whos , Christopher Eccleston , David Tennant and Matt Smith , I like Tennant the best . he be confident in the role , dispense drole humor and have the skill as a actor to make the dramatic element convincing . he pair up well with Billie Piper and this series have one of my favorite episode ever , `` the Girl in the Fireplace '' with Sophia Myles . I own the second , third and fourth dvd series of Dr. who . it be difficult to rank they because each have episode which I love . you really can not go wrong buy any one of the three , all of which I would rate 5 Stars for brilliant writing , act , special effect and Murray Gold 's powerful music . Dr. who be perfect for family viewing . neither adult or kid will complain about watch the doctor . +491 Movies_TV POS 5 this be a wonderful book . poetic and a brilliant read . what touch I most about this book be the part about John Huff . the reason be it be so very real . the emotion Doug feel be heartfelt . I know because I read it just as one of my best friend be move away . it nearly move I to tear not a easy task . then there be the Lonely one . a chilling character that you never actually know . yet the fear of the mother be feel by you . the question be this . what do everyone find so confusing ? it be obvious that they either have never read Bradbury , or be incredibly daft . yes it tell different story , such as the middle aged man and the old woman , with lime-vanilla ice . but confuse ? never . be one story stop another pick up rather easy to understand . my recommendation , if you do not wish to be touch by Bradbury 's jawcraker and poetic masterpiece , and never want to feel , then ovoid the book . if you want to go back in time and feel the joy 's and sorrow of what most of we have leave behind then buy it . in the word of Bradbury himself in the beginning of the book . `` the wine still wait in the cellar below . my beloved family still sit on the porch in the dark . the fire balloon still drift and burn in the night sky of a as yet unburied summer . why and how ? because I say it be so .

THEIR ROLE in SUCH A ACTION PACKED MOVIE MADE IT most realistic . will 's perfect world go up in SMOKE just like that BUT he showd US that with determination and the right contact he COULD PROVE HIMSELF . too bad LISA HAD to die , SHE play a good role . +132 Movies_TV POS 5 great new who series . the dvd be assemble with great extra and it be all in 16x9 widescreen . if you be a who fan , you must have this dvd set . +949 Movies_TV POS 5 have love season 1 , the idea of a new doctor be a little daunting . my fear be lay to rest in the first five minute of the Christmas episode and by the end of that episode I be totally in love with David Tennant . he make the doctor he own while keep the essence of the character . and Billie Piper ? well , I see she first pop video when she first hit the music scene in England as a teenager . she have transform herself into a very good actress . she be perky without be irritating and cry REAL tear . you gotta love the girl who make the doctor smile . Piper play equally as well with tennant as she do with Christopher Eccleston . I will miss she be season 3 so all the more reason to relish the dvd set . season 2 be gripping , exciting , touching , funny , suspenseful , emotional , and simply bloody FANTASTIC ! I still cry during the final 2 episode . favorite episode be `` Tooth and Claw '' . this episode be not only creepy with its warrior monk and werewolf but set up Torchwood as season two 's `` hint '' game . Watch all the episode again and follow the trail of Torchwood . all the episode maintain the high standard set by season one and in someway surpass it . quality tv even if you be not a sci-fi fan . +2 Movies_TV POS 4 I have a 4yr old son and he love this cartoon , and I too i buy it because of the story its so intresting . +416 Movies_TV POS 4 this Peter Pan video be satisfactory . the packaging be in good condition and the disc play fine except for one spot , where it freeze for a moment , then move on . it be not long , and it move forward after several seconds , so it be not worth send back . my 2-yr-old granddaughter do not seem to notice . +739 Movies_TV POS 5 Disney 's fourteenth animated feature be one of Disney 's best animated movie , as well as one of Disney 's best movie . Though J. M. Barrie 's classic `` wendy and Peter , '' which be later title `` Peter Pan , '' inspire this feature rather than be a model for it , the movie stand on its own as a wonderful child 's story . Peter mirror Wendy 's feeling about grow up . wendy do not really want to grow up , and Peter have never grow up . Peter live in a world of mermaid , fairy , Indians and Pirates ; a fantasy world where child can have fun and not worry about chore , school or keep clean . however , we also realize that Peter and the lose boy be miss many thing in they life . they have no mother . they will never have a opportunity to have child of they own . they have stagnate in a place that can never be part of the real world . while we may have a moment of nostalgia for the lose past that can never be regain , we also have to question whether would have give up the privilege of adulthood for permanent childhood . several thing about this movie make it a great movie . First be the story itself . the story move along briskly , with few moment where the story slow . the fast pace hold my attention from begin to end . the action be fun and interesting , with a lot of attention to detail . the story be sophisticated and complicated and child will enjoy how the movie speak to they imagination rather than talk down to they . Second be the animation . the animation be vibrant and clever , with marvelous characterization for all the principal character . Tinkerbell , who be base on Margaret Kerry , Captain Hook , who have more than a pass resemblance to Hans Conried , who voice both hook and Mr. Darling , Peter , and wendy be all marvelously draw . Captain Hook 's ship and neverland from high above be highly detail and sure to appeal to a child 's eye . Third be the voice . how these actor be able to voice they part so well be amazing to I . Bobby Driscoll , who also appear in several other Disney movie , provide the voice of Peter Pan . I be unable to say enough good thing about Driscoll 's voicing of pan . Kathryn Beaumont , who voice Alice in `` Alice in Wonderland '' two year before this film , be the voice of wendy . Kathryn put all the emotion of a teenage girl into wendy 's voice . Hans Conried have a perfect voice for Captain Hook . Bill Thompson use a vocal ability hone on dozen of other animated character to provide the voice of Smee and the other pirate . I sometimes worry about allow child to watch some movie , include Disney movie . will the child be frighten ? will they understand the movie ? will they enjoy the movie ? `` Peter Pan '' be a movie that be fun , easy to understand , and generally so charming that most child enjoy it instantly . I recommend this movie for family with child of all age . this movie be perfect for any family library , and one that be great regardless of how many time you watch it . enjoy ! +537 Movies_TV POS 5 a Disney family classic , this be a great dvd for both boy and girl . a must-have addition to you dvd collection . +645 Movies_TV POS 5 this be a very ahead-of-its-time movie , I think it be one of those movie capitalize on privacy\/surveilance issue post 9\/11 event . be I surprise to find out that it be do before 9\/11 occur . my only complaint be with ` wife ' character . I just couldnt buy it that anyone could want to be with that annoying woman . also no way not to notice that Will Smith be a bit out of she league , so it be a hard sell that she be `` the only woman '' for he compare to he ex-flame -lrb- who just happen to be outright gorgeous -rrb- . other than wife-miscast , I like the movie very much . +908 Movies_TV POS 5 be afraid to order a use movie , but when I get it I be very surprised at how great the condition be ! +235 Movies_TV POS 5 Sit back and get catch up in , I would say yhe best thriller of the year .

I can not say more about this movie than - exellent . +452 Movies_TV NEG 1 I enjoy dance dvd for something different or for a lighter day if I have already do some cardio or weight training . I like the music and the idea of this , but the cueing be bad , the move be boring - hip shake in place , spine stretch , yawn .

Tennant become more and more of a pleasure throughout Series 2 and then 3 and 4 . the team , Billie Piper as Rose and Tennant as the Doctor , in this second series be a incredible , unstoppable combination . do the special effect get better or do I finally learn to look past they and see the rich depth the show offer in spite of they ? +415 Movies_TV POS 5 `` enemy of the state '' be by far the best action movie I see last year . it be one of the best movie I see last year . and it will make my all-time list of favorite movie . I do not think Will Smith could pull of the drama involve , but he exceed my expectation . the movie do well , $ 100 million plus ! but everyone I talk to about this movie say it be great ! this movie should have easily do $ 200 million . why do not more people go to see it ? +363 Movies_TV POS 5 when i originally rent it i think it would be okay to have on as background noise while i do other stuff around the house . nope . sit down and be glue to the screen from start to finish . i like see the technology . lol . . unfortunately my perception of this movie and what i get from it be - reason not to have this kind of invasive technology - i think osama bin laden would have get further along and even faster if this stuff be really around . -lrb- just my humble opinion -rrb- . the two lead actor do fantastic . will smith 's character , well i really like he , and he attitude . and the same for gene hackman . i still pop it in once and a while and think . . i wonder if these `` i only think of what i need and want to '' people will ever realize how easily and swiftly we can lose we simplest rights . privacy be no big deal . until it be go . +810 Movies_TV POS 4 i be not a Will Smith fan , but he be tolerable in this film as a dc attorney whose life be turn upside down by the government as they try to get back a tape from he that he do not even know he have . he turn to Gene Hackman for help after he career be ruin , he be force out of he home and a old friend be kill . Seth Green and Jack Black be also memorable as two of the NSA agent track Smith . there be a bit much violence , the movie be deserving of the r-rating but there be suspense galore , lot of crazy gadget and make you wonder what the government be really capable of . +144 Movies_TV POS 5 both the 2005 and 2006 Doctor who series prove beyond a doubt that the good doctor will never die ... he just get a new face now and again , albeit Mr. Eccleson 's tenure be way too short . however , I like this new face , David Tennant as well . he bring a bright , playfull , youthful exuberence to the role that have not be see since Peter Davidson play the part . he also have the humor and wit that other have bring to the role since the Hartnell day . a good choice for the Doctor , indeed . I have not see much of the 2006 season , so I be really giddy to see `` School Reunion '' wich feature the return of my all time favorite companion , Sarah Jane Smith ! I meet both Ms. Sladen and Jon Pertwee back in the early 80 's at a Doc who Convention , and a great pair they be , too . both wee absolutely humble at how massive a follow they both have here in the state , especially Ms. Sladen , and I be so glad to see she back in the Doctor who universe again . that nonwithstanding , I be already look foreward to Series 3 , wich will feature the return of the Sontorans , along with a few more suprise .

I definitely recommend it , especially for little one who love Cinderella . +529 Movies_TV POS 5 this be a great series you can read the other rave review . I buy it to see the uncut version I would see on BBC America . here 's my problem . on my first disc in the 2nd episode , at 32 minute there be scene from TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE : the begin this last for a few minute and then the disc go to the menu . something be really wrong .

I volunteer to order one , and really find a good deal at Electronics Expo . good price , fast shipping , and very good quality product for a reasonable price . will use this seller again . +946 Projector POS 4 it be good ... bring it a year ago for the family and it be still run good ... find out how to get it brighter , I like to hook it up to my laptop and use the projector as a second monitor on the laptop and the laptop provide even further brightness and saturation and contrast option -lrb- for the second monitor setting -rrb- , allow I to brighten the scene up and fix the contrast immensely . so for its price , it be worth it . however it can be a little frustrating , if I have it too bright for dark movie , the lighter scene will have a wash out look with too much brightness , and if I have it too dark for the brighter movie , the darker scene will be harder to make out on screen . but there with a little tweaking here and there , you can find a balance between the two if you be willing to accept it be shortcoming ... all in all , though , not bad at all . the only one who seem frustrated the most be myself , and my kid and wife do not even notice , they just enjoy it . so if you do not tell anyone they might miss a detail or two , nobody will notice . for myself though , I would say it be good enough most time . color be really bright , they pop out like liquid candy , there be no problem with the picture quality other than the brightness factor . I like how I can get the screen to take up half the wall in my living room on a dark night , definitely like a night out at the movie , especially with we external speaker hook up as well ... only downside from hook it up to my laptop be the lag on its dvd drive ... think about get a external dvd drive for it ... +8 Projector POS 4 be grate for watch tv and play game for the price you cant beat it not the best but not the worst good for family night +61 Projector NEG 2 I really though I would like this product . I have do everything I could to do so . it work fine with my i-touch , not at all with my 20010 Mac Book . Technical support have be completely unhelpful . they actually tell I after I wait 48 hour for they response to see the faq section on they website , as if I have not think of that before contact they . that be most of the sum total of they support . I be quite upset and unsure of what to do wit this product now . return it seem the best option . the only redeeming aspect of this product as the size of the product and the fact that it work on low wattage be perfect for someone like myself who like movie yet live off grid . the manual to hook this product up should have a Mac section . the manual be pretty terrible . I own other optoma product . I do not plan on buy anymore . I guess product warrant the positive review it get if you have a pc +718 Projector POS 5 so , after month of search for the right projector I decide on purchase the ep739 for 6 reason . 1 -rrb- the price , -lrb- $ 850 -rrb- that be hard to beat ! 2 -rrb- 720p , 1080i high definition picture . I have already watch Superman Returns and Mission impossible iii in 720p and it look incredible ! I have not see the 1080i picture yet , but I can only imagine ! 3 -rrb- 2,500 lumen for a nice bright image . I have a apartment with many window which be not ideal for a projector , but the ep739 do just fine . close the blind and turn off the light and get ready for a killer picture ! 4 -rrb- the input . S-Video , Composite -lrb- RCA -rrb- , VGA and DVI connection . some of you may be confuse about the VGA input and the DVI input . do not be , because I be go to clear that up for you right now . first up , VGA be analog and DVI be digital . that be the important thing to know . you can purchase a component adapter for the VGA input and a HDMI adapter for the DVI input . cool huh ? so do not shy away from purchase this projector because it do not have component or hdmus connection . it be a easy fix ! 5 -rrb- 5,000 hour lamp life !!! in all of my search for the perfect projector , I never come across another projector with 5,000 hour of lamp life . Eco mode will dim the picture a tad , but to be honest with you , it look fine . 6 -rrb- small and quiet . sure there be some fan noise but it be not bad at all . a friend of mine have a older projector and while watch a movie , you have to crank the surround sound to wash out the fan noise . not with the ep739 . my projector sit 5 foot from my head , and I hardly know it be there . and the size of this thing be small . it be hard to believe that such a small machine can produce a 25 foot picture !!! $ 2,000 - $ 3,000 for a 42 '' plasma or $ 850 for a theater like picture ... that be a no brainer for I !!! +9 Projector NEU 3 there seem to be a awful lot of hype surround this projector . after the initial `` WOW ! '' factor its all down hill . sure its a bargain , but unreliable and , in my experiance , cant take a beating . after just 1 month the fan start make this awful , high pitched , buzz sound and the tech support , like all tech support , give you and ansewer that be 100 % correct , yet absolutly usless . for the money , you better off with 32inch lcd tv or something . +79 Projector NEG 1 impress by review i get this projector but very disappointing ... it have scratch all over the body cover more than that project get over heated and get switch off every 10 min : -lrb- : -lrb- : -lrb- +441 Projector POS 4 for those who want they house to sound like a true movie theater , this may not be the system for you . what I can say be I have no desire to run wire to the back of the room for rear speaker and this sound projecter keep I from do so . it as quick to install , it be completely self contain , and the sound quality be good . I use for both television and listen to music . the only issue I can say I have , be the volume be a little low when use as a home stereo . for the price , I would recommend this to anyone . +881 Projector NEG 1 I buy this mount base on a review by someone who say that he have have the same projector that I have -lrb- Epson 8100 -rrb- . I use this as a wall mount in the back of my room which I be tell I can . the mount should be gear drive as it slip because it be a smooth connection . the set screw do not hold it in place as they should , it still slip and the projector rest against the wall . I have have to readjust my screen to fit the configuration that this mount have decide for I . it state that it will hold projector weigh much more than mine but it will not even hold my 18lb projector without slip . I do not recommend this mount . +515 Projector POS 4 the installation be pretty straight forward . however , adjust it , as one reviewer have mention , can be tricky . when you begin to tighten the allen screw , the arm tend to move in the direction of the turn . also , tighten one axis sometimes jolt the other axis as well . as a result , I have have to just nudge the arm a little even after they be tighten to get they to position correctly . however , when all say and do , this be a extremely good mount . in fact , be be the only one I have find that be able to move my projector forward in the direction of projection . +592 Projector POS 5 I get the item earlier than the estimate date . I be the correct item . I have no problem with the item or shipment . +434 Projector POS 4 the projector be lightweight , easy to set up and work well with ipad , iPhone and iPod Touch with the only include cable . surprisingly the speaker be good and there be a audio out port to connect external speaker . here be some con : 1 . it be only limited to Apple device and computer with VGA output . so you can not connect Android phone , Kindle Fire etc. . 2 . it mirror only ipad 2 and also need VGA cable for that . 3 . build in stand be flimsy and you need a tripod . 4 . amazing that a three hundred buck device do not include a 2 dollar bag to keep charger , cable , projector and a small tripod in one bag . 5 . the manual be incomplete , e.g. there be a micro usb port on the cable without any mention in the manual . I presume it be for charge . 6 . relatively expensive . with these limitation , the device work well . +216 Projector NEG 1 too bad the excellent electronics and picture be totally cancel out by a bulb that do not last as advertise . Epson tout 4000 hour lamp life , but it be a BIG lie ! first bulb last 660 hour , die after the 90 day warranty on the bulb , but be replace under a secret extension to the warranty by Epson . second bulb last 700 hour , but the overall 2 year warranty be up , so tough luck . so , two bulb , 25 month of service , 1360 hour . you need to figure a new $ 270 bulb for each year of life when you calculate the cost to operate this pj . +660 Projector POS 5 if you want to setup a really super home theater system for a reasonable price this be a great place to start . I have have this unit for about a week and have not once turn on my 42 '' plasma tv to watch a show . the picture quality be excellent whether you be watch the game of the week in hd or you favorite movie on dvd or hdtv . Placement of you projector be make easy by the front adjustment lens control . this unit be ideal for projection from a bookcase against a rear wall . the room should have a modest amount of light control for decent viewing . the preprogramed projection mode seem to compensate for most media and room viewing condition very nicely . I have install a 80x60 electric ceiling mount flat white screen , which match well with this projector for light control and off angle viewing . I can not think of a thing they could do to make this project better except maybe to boost the lamp power another 200 to 400 lumen for larger brighter room . but the current 1000 lumen be close to ideal for home theater with a 92 '' diagonal view image . Picture quality be nothing short of excellent . this projector be a replacement for a NEC 156 which I have and will continue to use for PowerPoint slide . the NEC have never be the greatest video projector due to lack of contrast and scaling . however , the Panasonic AE700u 's proprietary film imaging system consist of dynamic iris , user controllable color management , smooth screen pixel edge elimination , and progressive cinema scanning with hd-id be truely amazing , if not breathe take to watch . a note of caution , the only problem I have be one of cable . I try use some old video cable to connect this unit initially but have drop signal and poor image . when connect with good cable -lrb- not great one -rrb- this unit come to life . you can spend more and you can spend less but it will be hard to find a better image projector for you home theater system . +707 Projector POS 5 Projector Lamp be as it be put forth ! work out of the box without any modification . lamp work with a fast warm up and with no flicker start ! thanks for a great product ! +951 Projector POS 5 the projector itself be very good . bright picture with the 2500 lumen but actually when I check on the viewsonic website it say 2700 lumen . the fan be not that noisey . for I its quiet . and I be also use the economic lamp option so the fan be on low and the brightness also on low but still with light turn off you get a bright picture . I project it on the wall for now still get the pull down screen from the rebate . the contrast be also good even on the wall . setup be quick from out the box only take I 5min less and it be on live ! well I read the manual before it arrive so I get the idea of what to do already . when it shut down you have to press the power button twice , one then another one with a bit longer press then it start the cool down , for a minute or 2 then it turn off fan and lamp but the power button will still be blinking blue let you know that it be still plug in . it blow warm air on its side . I have not try the 3d feature yet . it be very light weight easy to carry around and smaller than I expect . overall I be very happy with my purchase and I and my family be now enjoy a very big screen for movie in we bedroom . +605 Projector POS 5 I read all the review and be skeptical that I could really get a high-end projector for the low price . I compare pricing to unit at BestBuy and Costco , but this be really a great deal . I use the projector for power point presentation and also connect it to my laptop so we could watch a movie on the wall . very quick and easy to set up . I like that it be so small and compact . I buy a carry case separately , but it would have be nice if it be include , as the one I purchase be soft-sided and the cord be quite large for the pocket . +542 Projector POS 4 this projector be really easy to use and seem very durable . it be really easy to hook up , however , I have a mac and you need to purchase a different cable than what come in the box-depending on how new you laptop\/mac computer be . the image quality be pretty good-but I think it be really terrific for work related usage and for viewing with small gathering . mean it be not like have a movie theater in you home but for the basics-presentation , screen something for a group of people I think it be a good price and a durable , easy to use machine . +7 Projector POS 5 just have to order my first replacement bulb for the 8100 , get 1750 hour out of it and have have no other issue whatsoever . as I be check for replacement bulb on Amazon I think I would check on the review for this projector and be surprise to find out about all the problem people have , especially with the bulb . I buy the unit in November of 09 -lrb- previously own a Panasonic -rrb- and have use it almost daily since then . set up be in the basement , good airflow , room temperature year round at about 68 degree . I clean the filter monthly , have not touch the fan yet , run in ECO mode at all time . under these condition I have have zero issue with the unit , and even though I actually feel that 1750 hour be a bit low -lrb- I get 2500 hour on the Panasonic -rrb- , see the complaint on here I guess I can count myself lucky . I would also mention that no one can ever seriously expect the hour on a lamp that a manufacturer estimate , 4000 hour be practically impossible to achieve , but I do expect around 2500 hour or so . have say that , I be overall extremely happy with the product and be wait for the replacement bulb to arrive soon . if any other issue arise , I will update . +285 Projector NEG 1 sent the wrong item , had to RETURN IT at MY COST . NOT SATISFIED . EVEN SENT the old lamp back so THEY COULD compare it to WRONG one THEY SENT . TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT accept it and return it BUT DID not send the right bulb . now I must re order and hope I get the right one . +225 Projector POS 4 the projector work wonder , only exception I have be if it have its own disc reader and mount for external speaker but that would only make the price go up more . do a great job , fairly easy to set up and use . +470 Projector NEG 1 this product simply do not work in transmit video from a ipad to a projector . I return it for credit . +763 Projector NEU 3 I buy this projector from Walmart at the beginning of July . I use it for about a month , primarily play Xbox and watch movie on it . I use a VGA cable to connect it to the Xbox and it be great for a while . it work flawlessly for a low resolution projector . randomly today , I try to power it up and play a game and the light just turn off . I could switch to composite video and the light would turn back on . Thought when I try to play xbox on the composite setting , it would not work . I call customer service ... let 's just say do not even bother with that . they be worthless . all in all , fun projector , but do not expect much life out of it . +137 Projector POS 5 I love this little powerhouse projector . the image quality be great ! I have try several connection to the projector . usb thumb drive - I have test several - a new thumb drive with a small amount file on it work best . I load a couple of movie file and a PowerPoint it seem to work fine with both . I plug in my trusty back-up Sandisk that I purchase about a year ago , with several file , it recognize that it be a mass storage device but it do not recognize that I have any file on it . I take my Micro sd card out of my android phone and it could see the file and folder . I could view Office document -lrb- but it would not open up pdf -rrb- . I could also view video , music , etc from this . hdmus connection I have issue with the two Android smartphone that I test -lrb- non-iphones -rrb- the problem be that you have to plug the device in before you start , if you plug it in after you turn on the projector it would go into search mode and not pick up the device . I project the image on my pale yellow office wall , with two light on , and I could still see the image clearly , it get better as I turn out the light . the window light still come in , and I still get a great image . so far so good . con : just one Vivitek customer support be very difficult to get through to , and when you do they do not return phone call . +670 Projector NEG 1 I have purchase this projector12 month back and be face a problem as brief below and possible solution try but the problem be still not fix . 1 -rrb- the projector power off after 30-60 seconds on start and go on stand by -lrb- yellow light -rrb- . it then show a red light of power off 2 -rrb- the projector do not start after this with the remote 3 -rrb- it have to be power off from the main and then restart 4 -rrb- earlier , this use to happen once and now it behave abnormally and sometimes it have to be restart even upto 8 time or sometimes even just 2 time 5 -rrb- after this , the projector do not shut down and movie can be watch for even as long as 8-10 hour the projector be give to a service center who do not find any problem in the hardware -lrb- power ballast , fan , bulb etc be ok -rrb- . they have suggest that the PCB mainboard should be change which cost as much as a new projector . +299 Projector NEG 2 I wish I have see the `` costly mistake '' review before I buy my 8100 in Feb. . I , too see the concern about `` beta '' unit , and discount they . well , I be initially a very satisfied buyer . this be the second projector I have own , the first be a Panasonic 720P pt ax200u . the 8100 be a big improvement over that one in picture quality , perceive brightness , etc. , as it should be , be several year newer technology and 1080p resolution . for 600 hour and 5 month , I be happy . then all of a sudden , the bulb severely dim . I spend the next 5 minute check various setting , hope to make this go away so we can finish watch the movie we be streaming from Amazon , then POP -lrb- loud -rrb- go my bulb , like the old-school flashbulb of yore , scare the \* ^ -lrb- \* ^ out of I and my wife . the next day , I check my warranty information , and discover that the advertised 4000 hour bulb be only warranteed for 90 day . my bad , should have read the fine print . I go online and find out that I be not alone , other have be experience this same kind of premature failure , and there be hint that Epson be `` extend '' the 90 day in the interest of customer service . so , I try the Epson `` direct customer line '' card provide with my projector , only to find the pin the supply on the card be not valid . ok , I spend my dime and call the support toll number . I describe my problem to the 1st level support specialist , and he instantly transfer I to a `` projector bulb specialist '' who take my info . and with no argument agree to send I a replacement bulb , after walk I through the extraction procedure -lrb- little bit of glass rain down on I in the process , as it be ceiling mount -rrb- . ok , I say , I be a satisfied customer , but kind of worried about the next bulb 's life . three day later , the bulb arrive , it be the WRONG one . I call support , same drill , this time they keep I on the hold for a long time , then transfer I to a `` customer relation '' specialist . she proceed to tell I that Epson policy be that they can not send I the correct replacement until they receive the wrong one back , and that I can not return it until they send I a return label . I say , wait a minute , this be you fault , not mine , I be not happy about this , my projector will be down a week , be not there someone who can authorize a expedited replacement , you can take my credit card # for security ? no , she say , due to the value of the bulb , it be company policy , and that be that . five day later , I finally get the return label , which be send regular US Mail , and it be for regular ground shipment , not even expedite . take 3 more day for they to get it , and then they do Fedex Next Day the replacement , but after the cutoff , so I finally get the replacement more than two week after the failure . it work so far , but who know how long it will last , or if they 'll replace another one after more time . have to be without live room entertainment for 2 week , and deal with service that do not care about customer satisfaction or even get the part #s right be not that entertaining , either . probably the last Epson product I 'll ever buy . my 3 1\/2 year old Panasonic projector be still go strong , install elsewhere , on it be first bulb , after 3000 hour , ironically . +925 Projector NEG 2 my concern with this projector be that it be very marginal for my intended use . the resolution of the projector be only 800 x 600 and when project smaller type figure they project so fuzzy that they be almost unreadable on the screen . Epson 's tech support be very good however and they isolate the problem for I and finally suggest that I need to upgrade the projector for what I be try to do . for someone want to use the projector for power point presentation with very large letter it would be ok or for project just photo or video it work ok . for my use however , I buy cheap and pay the price in it be utility . +467 Projector POS 5 battery backup , after initial time set automatically set the time and date in case of power interruption , project the time on a ceiling or wall , easy to program , choice of alarm sound , ambient sleep ` noise ' option , easy to read led display ... the list go on and on . for the money , this be a great radio\/alarm clock ! +922 Projector NEG 1 I buy this lamp to replace the one in my ep719 projector , follow the instruction that come with the bulb , and it blow up my projector . I think maybe I get a defective lamp , but the other reviewer that have the same thing happen make I think these be just junk . Stay away ! although I do get a refund for the bulb itself , neither Amazon or the seller offer to replace or fix my projector . for try to save $ 30 , I lose hundred ! +153 Projector NEG 1 I buy this projector 2 month ago and it have already break on I ! have maybe watch 10 movie on it top and now it be not turn on . when I speak to customer service about this issue they be totally helpless and insist that I pay they $ 75 to send it in and have to inspect it . I find this totally insane since I have hardly use it and clearly this be a poorly make product . if you be consider get a projector do not get this one . they have awful customer support and cheap product . +479 Projector POS 4 I buy this as a Christmas present for my husband who love electronics . Use will be for gaming with the Wii -lrb- until we kid we older and he get that PS3 or XBox he want -rrb- , and movie blue-ray\/dvd watch purpose . my kid be thrill with the idea of a `` movie theater '' in we game room . I be impress with the picture for the price I pay , and no , it be not hd , but it be pretty cool if you ask I -lrb- as a electronics novice -rrb- . he say , great picture , very bright . some difficulty in find the component to VGA cable - it must be order off the internet . right now , he be just use what come with , and be still fairly happy with it . Picture be pretty clear even with three window in we game room - even better in the dark\/at night . we be very pleased with the product , for the price . he have no idea what I pay for it , but seem very impressed . rate lower ease of set up due to find cable , etc. but if you know ahead of time what to order , you should be fine . +56 Projector NEU 3 the product work real well and I have not have any problem with the product . +59 Projector POS 5 I get this projector as a wedding gift and actually get totally hooked on it . we have a nice flat screen television already , but the projector be a whole new viewing experience . it be so easy to set up and hardly take any time at all to focus the picture perfectly . now movie night really have that movie theater experience too . +284 Projector NEU 3 finally there be a projector one can afford . I be quite pleased with the quality of the projection . in addition to 1024x768 VGA , it also handle hdtv 1080us as well as all other current video standard -lrb- ntsc-pal\/secam -rrb- . unfortunately , the image be not bright enough to see in a well light room ; you 'll have to turn out all the light to see the output from this projector . Great for watch you dvd , make presentation , or just plain fun -lrb- surf the web on a 200 '' screen be quite nice : - -rrb- . con : the bulb be rate for 1440 hour of use before it supposedly explode , discharge toxic mercury vapor into you view area . I do not like the price tag of the bulb either ... for a projector bulb be simply outrageous ! and if you use you projector like I do , expect to replace it every year -lrb- and you think ink-jet be expensive to operate -rrb- . my advice : wait for other company to release ` consumer-priced ' projector and pray that the replacement bulb will be more economical . \* or \* buy yourself a -lrb- -rrb- CRT projector , problem solve ! 3 - -rrb- ... +889 Projector NEG 1 I buy this projector to upgrade my home theater from 2d to 3d . the projector function quite well in 2d and have a lot of 3d bell and whistle -lrb- I be assume for gaming -rrb- , but can not play 3d Bluray dvd 's because it do NOT have a hdmus input . while I realize this may be a small problem for most people ; it be something that should be disclose in the product description from the manufacturer . +736 Projector POS 5 THIS be the best purchase that I do . the product be to thin and I can travel with it without ANY problem . I recommend this product ! +697 Projector POS 5 this projector its awesome , work very good , it be really handy and i can bring it everywhere , really easy to use and very useful . it be a really worthy item at that price +904 Projector POS 5 the InFocus ScreenPlay 4800 be a reincarnation of the very popular InFocus ' x1 DLP Projector . the 4800 have a remote but , otherwise , be identical to the x1 . recently InFocus have release a x2 model which have 1500 lumen -lrb- brighter bulb , up from 1000\/1100 lumen -rrb- . since Amazon like to know about best pricing you can obtain a x2 for about $ 1000 and the x1 be available for $ 900 at various vendor 's on the internet . I purchase my screenplay 4800 at Costco for $ 1200 and it include a 6 ' by 3.8 ' self contain -lrb- roll down or up from floor -rrb- screen which be at least a $ 200 value . this projector -lrb- 4800 -rrb- be a outstanding value and perform with stunning clarity and overall excellence . the accompany documentation be thorough and setup be very easy . I have use the projector for viewee dvd 's , watch standard cable broadcast sport and tv programming and for project my computer -lrb- notebook -rrb- display all with great ease and great satisfaction . dvd movie view use the projector 's component input produce crystal clear image that be smooth and virtually amazing . the lamp life be rate at generous 4000 hour and a replacement lamp be price at $ 300 . any flat white wall will do nicely if you do not have a view screen . even though I have a projection screen I purchase a 48 '' by 36 '' clear white -lrb- reflective -rrb- `` marker board '' -lrb- $ 9.00 -rrb- and mount it on the wall in my home studio and the result be as good as any $ 3000 + plasma screen tv . the dlp technology rock ! Infocus be now -lrb- I believe -rrb- in they 13th generation of projector and they have it down pat . some people may -lrb- very few by percentage -rrb- notice a slight -lrb- and infrequent -rrb- `` rainbow effect '' that be inherent in all dlp technology projector . the `` rainbow effect '' be fleeting and infrequent sparkle in some small area of project video and not something that be continuous nor large -lrb- size of a dime -rrb- . the effect be minimal and fleeting -lrb- one frame -rrb- and be , in my opinion , as close as you can get to `` of no consequence '' . someone who can see these `` rainbow effect '' may notice two or three in a entire feature film . so , if you get a dlp technology projector you may not want to invite any Virgo 's to you screening party . : - -rrb- ideally , to use any projector -lrb- regardless of luman rating -rrb- you need to have control of you ambient lighting . the best viewing be in a room where the lighting can imitate that of a movie theater . you can imagine how a project image would be in a regular movie theater with daylight streaming in through picture window . the same situation will exist in you home . the darker the room the better the visual quality . Night time view present no strategic lighting issue . to get a project image -lrb- 16:9 -rrb- that be 7 foot -lrb- diagonal -rrb- across you will need about 14 foot distance from you projector to you wall or movie screen . eight foot distance will give you a five foot diagonal image . so space -lrb- `` The Final Frontier '' -rrb- be a consideration . the project image also allow for a view angle of about 120 degree unlike plasma screen tv 's . bottom line : the InFocus ScreenPlay 4800 DLP projector be a expression of technological excellence . stellar movie , jaw drop video , ease of use , legendary bulb life , greatly enhance tv viewing , superior mobility , 2 year part and labor warranty -lrb- exclusive of bulb -rrb- at a bargain price compare to plasma screen tv , lcd tv and some rear projection tv 's . with the 4800 I have a `` better than '' plasma screen tv , with a minimal footprint , with a 55 inch diagonal picture -lrb- 8 foot from projector to `` message board '' view screen -rrb- and it actually feel like you be on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise -lrb- Spike tv -rrb- and dvd 's be magnificent and televised sport give you the best seat in the arena . if you be look for a DLP Projector without have to get a advanced degree in Rocket Science then the 4800 fill the bill . O.K. Let 's go to press ! +549 Projector POS 5 two word . `` freak awesome . '' I would use a different word than `` freak '' , but we be in a pg environment here ... anyway , I be a college guy . we have a huge tan wall in we apartment this year . this projector look EXCELLENT , even on a tan color wall . projector be 14 ' away , and we be get a 125 '' picture . funny thing be , that be the smallest we could get it at that distance . clear . massive . `` freak awesome . '' Video game , sport , movie , etc. . . all look fantastic . for the price , you can not beat it . people complain about `` black level '' on this projector , but here be the thing : if you have never own a projector , you would really never know how `` horrible '' the black be -lrb- I think they look pretty black -rrb- . I be think about get the Optoma hd66 , solely base on the black level . I feel like that be a mistake . you can not go wrong with the 2 year warranty from Epson , plus the bulb life on this thing be suppose to be excellent . cheaper replacement bulb than most company as well -lrb- ~ 200 buck , from what i have read -rrb- . wonderful product . College student . buy it . you little apartment turn into a theater . sick nasty . +814 Projector NEU 3 this be very well make and great design concept . there be only one problem , it be no where near bright enough to use in a normal office environment without have most all of the light off . if you be intend to use it in a well light area where you can not dim the light , I do not recommend this . if you have a room where you can turn out all of the light it , will be great . the storage feature allow you to just bring the projector with you which will virtuallly fit in you shirt pocket . +835 Projector NEG 1 I agree with Mr. Mitchell that these be falsely represent as OEM lamp from Optoma . I be in the process of try for a refund - the bulb do not even turn on in the projector . the projector be function perfectly when the last bulb finish its predict life . the seller be extremely anxious that I remove my negative comment and repeatedly request they removal . if other dissatisfied individual have remove they negative comment already , a balanced set of review may not even be available and people will continue to get burn . however , the seller do post a full refund -lrb- incl shipping -rrb- back onto my credit card , when I ship the lamp back . +513 Projector POS 4 the product be very good and meet expectation . I be satisfy with the purchase and recommend it to anyone interested in a quality product . +401 Projector POS 5 I have have this projector for 2 month and have about 250 hour on it . it have be a great buy for we family . the picture quality have just blow we away . watch dvd 's and hd content be great and even during the day when we do have some light in the basement the picture be good . we can not wait for football season this fall . my friend and family can not believe that I be able to buy this projector for under $ 700 . BTW . we be use a paint wall as we screen and have Directv and PS3 , both connect with hdmus . +436 Projector NEG 2 use my computer hdmi out to mini HDMI cable I test this device for a week . I set up the projector on my camera 's tri-pod and project against my bedroom wall . at 1920x1080 text be unreadable . the only resolution where you can read text be the native resolution of 848x480 . however this resolution be so small its hard to see much on the screen at once . I test hd Netflix , dvd , blue-ray disc , SlingPlayer HD stream and Hulu . the picture quality be ok . I see a few rainbow effect and text and subtitle be hard to read . not be able adjust the location of the projector , I be force to project a picture size of 8ft x 5ft . and due to where my chair be , I might have be sit too close . so be able to adjust the picture size smaller might of help . biggest issue 1 -rrb- you can not use the item with you light on , or any light source on in the room . even with my computer monitor on , I notice a big difference in picture . 2 -rrb- fan be very loud when 100 % brightness be and plug into the wall power . 3 -rrb- 848x480 be small 4 -rrb- 1920x1080 text be unreadable 5 -rrb- move the projector be require to adjust output image . even with all the issue , lead projection like this be the future . cheap , small , and good quality -lrb- with a little more work . -rrb- +330 Projector NEU 3 for a little projector it do the job well for basic tv or dvd quality . for game it suck unless its a low graphic game like a rom or old month sega ect . it will hook up to a hdmus but project 800x600 . if you watch movie on it computer to you computer use vlc player and make it brighter and sharpen the picture and it will make it much better . for the monet it be a good buy . +113 Projector POS 4 I have have this iGo projector for a few week now and it be pretty impressive for it be size . that say , the room have to be dimly light for a crisp picture . I purchase it for presentation when I be on the road and the conference room lack a projector . it seem like it will serve this purpose well . it would not be a very good choice as a primary projector in a business setting due to the low picture brightness . the projector come with mini hdmus cable and micro adapter , but no VGA cable . I have search for the VGA cable that supposedly exist and can not find it . since flip the maker of the projector be purchase by Cisco who then discontinue the line , I doubt I 'll ever find one . not a big deal if you laptop have HDMI out capability . also , when I connect this projector to my Droid Charge 's mini hdmus port it will show the mirror screen for a second , then restart the phone . that be probably not the projector 's issue , but I be able to mirror the phone on tv with hdmus in . if you want a small projector to take on the road for business or for watch movie at home this be about as good as it get for the price . +313 Projector POS 5 love the alarm clock , it have 2 alarm that can be set for weekday , weekend , or both : easy to set and alarm signal blink when you use snooze function . +140 Projector POS 5 it be a great product , not full hd but hd ready . not silent but you will not hear it when the film start . the onboard speaker be only usable for some kind of presentation -lrb- maybe -rrb- or in order to test the sound of films\/games if you do not have any speaker at all . if you do not want to waste you money and if you do not have many full HD\/Blue Ray movie -lrb- but rather 720p dvd or lower quality film -rrb- , this one be for you . you can also watch Blue-Ray or 1080p film . disable the auto focus , it be noisy and useless . Eco mode be really sufficient , so you save energy and guarantee a long lamp life . finally , it get hot in the summer after 30 minute so be careful . personnally I recommend Epson , just save money -lrb- it be only 600 $ -rrb- in order to buy a better one in three year and enjoy the movie at home right now ! +419 Projector NEG 1 I be very excite about this item for two reason , its portability , and the fact that the bulb would last a very long time so I would not have to worry about replace it as I travel internationally . unfortunately the projector start malfunction right off the bat . within three month I have to replace the cord , it cost sixty two dollar . after I receive the cord , within a month the new cord do not work correctly . I do not think there be anything wrong with the cord , it appear that at the junction point of the cord go into the projector be a malfunction in the design , as it do not want to sit straight for very long , cause it to not connect correctly , which cause the projection to cease in midstream . ca not watch thing very long before this happen . also , within six month the pixel I think , the screen start show one white dot , then after another month it be three , and after a year it be like sixteen white dot on the screen from the lens coat fall apart or something . bottom line , within one year this thing be a piece of junk , and at four hundred dollar , it s a big disappointment . +248 Projector POS 4 I have be use a projector as my main big screen for about 10 year but when I move from a old house with high ceiling to a new place with a really low ceiling in the basement tv room , I have to find something else . I get this and a nearly flush ceiling mount and it do the trick . I can sit behind the projector rather than have it in the back of the room . I get about a 55 inch screen at only thee foot away . I use it for both cable tv and xbox kinect game . this be the lowest price short throw projector I have see that accept HDMI cable which be a plus . the only star off be for the volume control . it be not infinitely variable ; it just go up 1,2,3,4 etc. so it he difficult to adjust to the right level for some program . I will probably run it though a amp to fix this . oh yeah it have a `` high altitude mode '' I have never even hear of that before but since I live at 4,600 foot , I guess I 'll give it a try . +920 Projector POS 5 we have have we projector for almost 7year and have go through 3bulb which include the original . we use this as we everything tv . typically , we be about 25-30 hour a week of daily tv , movie , and video game . there be no doubt , from day one , that we choose the best tv out there that exceed all we needs\/wants . we project onto a hd 120 '' screen and have all hd component hook up . plenty of other reviews\/sites will give you all the technical datum you need . this be simply a experience review . it be located in we basement , so light be not much of a issue . although there be a vast improvement in dark versus daylight , but it still do a good job when the room be more light . overall , the decision to buy or not to buy be simple : you will not regret you decision to get this ! +102 Projector POS 5 I be in love with this product . it be well design , and brighter than I be expect . mind you , it be not go to compete on brightness with a more expensive , much larger unit . however , it be definitely visible in standard room lighting . the light weight and compact frame make up for that difference , for my purpose . +778 Projector POS 5 before I bring this projector , I read all of the review . many of those review voice a concern about the noise from the fan . I must say I do not hear anything , this product be great much better than I expect we do movie night on Tuesdays , but my husband watch he Sunday football on it weekly . it be be use regularly its hook up to or tv so we be use it and so far have no complaint and trust I when I say I will complain if I be not satisfy with something I spend my money on . I say go for it its a great by . if something change I will post that to . LOL +886 Projector POS 5 this be a very good product if you look for a white screen love it . I have hear gray screen be better but if you look for white this be great for the price +979 Projector POS 4 I recently buy this projector for my daughter and she friend to watch movie outside in the backyard on projection screen I build which be 8ft x 6ft . the projector be use on halloween playing scary movie which they like and be accompany by the home theater surround sound use the hdmus hook-up . the color and brightness of the projector be very good and the resolution be a plus . if you hook it up to the hdmus cable the resolution be great . I play the Wii and Xbox 360 on it as well , work great . do not be cheap and buy some of these no name brand that be on this site . I do that and send mine back . +945 Projector POS 5 I purchase the Benq w6000 from Amazon after previously own a Benq pe8700 + -lrb- which be sell with my old house and I think I pay $ 3700 for it year ago -rrb- . I set up this new home theater with two front BIC 15-inch woofer speaker rtr1530 's - and they be big but just $ 109 each ; , Polk Audio Monitor 50 side unit for $ 102.50 each free ship , and I use older BIC 's that I have rebuild with 12inch woofer for my rear speaker . my subwoofer from Amazon be the BIC f12 475 Watt front firing power subwoofer for $ 182.99 free ship . I hook all this to the Onkyo TXNR808 AV Receiver -lrb- also purchase from Amazon -rrb- and I have DIRECTV and a Blue Ray from Onkyo\/Amazon -- very good quality at just $ 128 -rrb- overall , I would say this diy home theater be great for the total price I pay . my last item purchase from Amazon be the 150 Inch Elite Screens matte white manual pulldown screen ... WOW ! the projector be beautiful , and put out a great picture regardless of HDMI feed . I have no major color correct to do , as out of the box this unit perform brilliantly , with good black and spectacular color . I also buy the $ 39.99 projector mount from VideoSecu via Amazon , which be a bit flimsy in some area but still ok as it will hold the w6000 projector safely . year ago , I would have need $ 15k to do all this with such a quality projector . if you see the 150 inch picture , I feel you would agree . I also see no rainbow , something other complain about with dlp projector . I have this all setup in a 12 ' 7 '' wide by 24 ' dedicated area in my cellar and I be use 95 inch long curtain alomg the side . the Onkyo AVR be one of the 2010 model with 1.4 a and great sound from 135 watt per channel . do not let the low Onkyo price -lrb- $ 679 -rrb- make you think that maybe a different $ 1,500 to $ 2,000 mid level model would be better . just check Home Theater Magazine and you 'll see this Onkyo AV receiver receive top billing , especially for the price . I have always be a Sony receiver purchaser , but with this onkyo I be well pleased . the front BIC 15-inch speaker be big as I say , but for those who have not fall for these skinny , small multi-woofer unit that cost 20x more , try one of the `` old style '' speaker out and you 'll be surprise what less money buy these day . the bass be outstanding , and replace my old 15-inch woofer Optimus -lrb- Radio Shack -rrb- speaker that go with my old pe8700 theater . I be use my older -lrb- but still fine -rrb- Optimus front channel to complete the system . this review be here to hopefully be helpful to those who want a outstanding home theater on a budget . I be not a professional home theater installer , but I know a good value overall when I see and hear it . many will spend 10 time as much overall on they system , but when someone see this picture and sound , they be very impressed . do not hesitate on the w6000 if you be in this market . finally , some say the w6000 be loud but it be not to my ear . +115 Projector POS 5 I think that this overhead projecter be very easy to use , and alot of fun to play with . it be easy to assemble and very bright , however as soon as I get it it break . I would defimately recomend this to people . I f you be try to find a really good and cheap overhead , this be the one you should get +968 Projector POS 5 this be a great projector . everything about it work easy and be great ! the only con I have be I wish it be a bit quieter but then again every other Projector I have ever use be much noisier . Casey +229 Projector POS 4 I use this screen for my Sunday School Power Point presentation each Sunday . this screen be so easy to install and my wife help I hang it . I purchase the manual pull down screen due to we ceiling be low enough that I can reach the pull string , it work like a pull window shade . the screen have great resolution . +777 Projector POS 5 Dont be fool by the low price of this projector . I have a movie room i just build and get everything but a projector i research many and for the quality i want i be look at 2000 dollar . I find this and be amaze when hook it up to my xbox 360 in hd and my Comcast HD cable box . watch the red sox game be a blast at 150 inch . even at that big the quality be better than a 6000 dollar plasma . if you be build a entertainment room it be perfect . +151 Projector NEG 2 I have a Mitsubishi hc1500 projector in a somewhat light controlled room for the last 3 year . it finally get hit my a South Alabama lightning strike and fry the circuit board . I pay about $ 600 for the Mitsubishi refurbish but almost new and think that $ 600 now would get I at least as good a projector three year later . wrong . the Optoma be noisy and the image not nearly as sharp as the Mitsubishi it replace . the deal breaker , however , be the fact that the Optoma could not hold the signal come from my Blu Ray player 25 ' away . the Mitsubishi have no trouble lock on the signal . the Optoma would display the image , then flash the screen white for a second then lock onto the signal again , then loose it once more . I guess that if you just want to game with this projector then it would be fine . I return it promptly to Amazon for a trouble free refund . -lrb- thanks Amazon -rrb- . I be now look for a different projector . no more Optomas for I . +286 Projector NEG 1 I buy this alarm clock for my husband for Christmas . we absolutely love everything about it until it just die . the display just go completely bonkers and be now stick on what look like 1:80 . and , the ONLY thing I do for that to happen be hit the snooze button . really ?!!? now , nothing work to fix it either . we try everything from unplug it , to take the battery in and out , it do no good !! I should of listen to the bad review and\/or buy it locally in store . now , I be face with the pain in the butt decision to I ship it back at MY expense and hope they fix it and\/or replace it with a new one which be asinine ! maybe I 'll just take the hit and learn my lesson the hard way and never buy another Timex again . regardless , it be a darn shame as we love Timex -lrb- at least they old alarm clock -rrb- in the past . my daughter have my old one from 2006 and my husband have one that be still work since he purchase it back in the early 90 's . what a bunch of crook , take people 's hard earn money , by use cheap part that be make overseas that will not last and\/or be defective from the get go !!! and , do not get I start on the LAME 90 day warranty that be pure b !! come on , really ?!!? if I know it come with only a 90 day warranty I would of never purchase this product . it also seem like Timex be not the only manufacturer that have major issue with they projection\/automatic date\/time set alarm clock either . buyer beware !! DO NOT buy ! +712 Projector POS 5 the Optoma EP739 have the best picture you can get for under $ 1300.00 I have own this projector for a couple of month and it rock !!! the Hi Def be amazing !!! under $ 1900.00 in my total projection system and it compair to a $ 5000.00 system . I 'll stay with optoma from now on . +371 Projector POS 4 when I purchase it , I be impress by the ability to project show without a pc attach . but in practice it seem there be more option than I have realize . I try out the 802.11 g wireless connection to a laptop . it work fine for slide , but be unacceptably jerky for video -lrb- mpeg2 and dvd 's -rrb- although this may have be due to the older laptop I use . I do not try out the multiple laptop connection feature but presume it work the same . I also show my presentation without a pc . this process require you to install they software , and then to convert you powerpoint . ppt show to the epson-recognizable format . place the resultant file on you usb thumb drive which plug into the projector and off you go . worked perfectly on simple presentation , but do not sequence some of my fly-in label properly . -lrb- they all three fly in at once . -rrb- so if you have a more complex presentation , I would be prepare for surprise . it show a folder of -lrb- non-powerpoint -rrb- jpeg image without a hitch . advance they with the remote be intuitive . but `` pc-free '' projection of mpeg file be hit-and-miss . one work fine , one do not project at all . other feature -lrb- auto-keystone correction etc. -rrb- all work as expect . I like the product , but I be not depend on it for video . +226 Projector POS 5 I use the Vantage Point cgupm12-s to mount a Panasonic pt-ae200u projector . the mount be easy to put together and install , work great , very adjustable , well make , look good . I would highly recommend this product . I call Vantage Point to make sure the mount would work with my projector , they return my call and be very helpful . +10 Projector POS 5 I receive this clock about a week before the change to standard time here in CA , and the clock re-program itself without a hitch . we have two different alarm set , and find that setting and change the alarm be quick and painless . the construction of the clock be very sturdy , and everything on the clock work . in this day and age , that be amazing ! the nature sound be very nice ; we be currently use the windchime for both alarm . I highly recommend this clock - thank you to the previous reviewer , as I look at review to help in my decision-making . +200 Projector POS 4 the 3M mp160 pocket projector be a perfect little device for the corporate world , and that be mostly likely what it be mean for and all it be good for . any videophile or audiophile will cringe at the measly 30 lumen of output and the flat sound speaker . then again you be not mean to watch movie on this thing . video : the video be a weak 30 lumen but for static graph and image it do the job . if you project on a wall expect a fade image since you need all the reflectivity you can get . on a pulldown screen the image be not bad . the closer the projector the better . you can pull it back to get up to a 80 inch image but the bigger you get the more saturation and color you lose . AUDIO : this be not mean for watch movie but you can always use the audio of the source product from where you be pull the video -lrb- computer , tv , etc -rrb- . CONNECTIVITY : you can connect this projector to pretty much anything -lrb- tv , computer , ipod , Phone , Camera , etc -rrb- . there be plenty of cable include , but you may have to fumble around to find the right one as the projector itself have one propriety input . so you have to have a adapt cable . luckily almost everything you need be include . the one draw back of this model ? you have to have a input source of video . this projector have no memory storage so you can not store video file or any file of any kind . so some sort of video device must accompany the projector at all time . +869 Projector NEG 1 this be by far the worst product i ever buy on amazon . i drop $ 200 on something that be probably worth about $ 20 . please do not buy this projector to save a little money . you 'll just end up get a new one . the light 's dim , the speaker have no volume control , the pixel be lousy and the fan be loud . please stay away from this one . +891 Projector POS 4 it be quite impressive with 1280 vs 800 resolution but anything more than that be not that impressive . the picture seem little blurry with 1080p input . overall I be very much satisfied with this product so far . +767 Projector NEG 1 I buy this unit because the specification say he have a powerful and it be perfect for teacher but the device be not even recognize by the laptop , the backlight be terrible in the light of day . the screen size be extremely small and do not match the description give by the seller . definitely do not recommend this product to anyone . the quality be terrible . in addition , I purchase this product from Costa Rica , and now I regret the money spend on this device to bring up my country . this be my first purchase from Amazon disappoint I . people please ... do not buy this unit because they will throw away they money . +380 Projector POS 5 after review several video clip on this AFFORDABLE lead projector I decide to buy one . I have watch at least 10 movie -lrb- with my girlfriend -rrb- so far and I have to say that we be impressed with it . I be use standard white matte finish plotter paper as a screen and the image quality be surprisingly good -lrb- I be guess that a regular screen would be even better -rrb- . I be play dvd 's on a standard player with the RCA hookup to the projector . I do have it hook into my pc and the picture quality be noticeably better . pro so far : - decent image quality on a 70 inch home build screen -lrb- plotter paper -rrb- . - long project bulb life . - Inexpensive for the movie quality !!!! - more quality time spend with my girlfriend ! - portable . can be use with a laptop -lrb- with good speaker -rrb- and portable screen to watch `` drive-in '' movie anywhere -lrb- need vehicle \/ power inverter \/ battery -rrb- . - have a wide variety of connection to choose from -lrb- hdmus , s-video , rca and VGA -rrb- . con so far : - all of the control be on the remote . - the fan could be a little quieter . -lrb- not a problem when hook into a good surround \/ computer speaker system -rrb- - on board speaker be not very loud . -lrb- use external speaker source -rrb- I would definitely recommend this nice little unit to anyone look to buy a cheap , decent picture quality projector for the first time !!! - some light shine through the rear fan exhaust . -lrb- this can be divert by sit something slightly behind the projector . do not block the air flow !!! -rrb- +491 Projector POS 4 the screen arrive well package and protect . it be easy to extract from the wrapping with a box cutter . it be also easy to hang . the first thing I do be throw a Blu-Ray movie onto the screen , and it look fantastic -lrb- paired with a 1080p Epson projector -rrb- . con : none -lrb- 1 week of use , so far -rrb- . +585 Projector POS 4 we be skeptical after read about horizontal panning and on the first projector we receive it be pretty noticeable - soccer be difficult to watch with significant blur and jitter . we have to replace the original after a week when it start overheate and shut down in a 70 f degree room . the replacement be better than the original . horizontal panning be much smoother and watch USA v Japan woman 's match today be a great experience with great clarity and smooth tracking . image be sharp even when player be run and color be wonderful . we all notice the difference immediately . use same connector , HDMI cable as on first . use the pro 8200 with a Epson Duet 80 '' screen for now - perfectly good for this projector or until you get a more permanent setup . projector come with a nylon case for transport and the tripod Epson Duet screen fold right up in seconds . very stable once deploy . alignment and feature for the pro 8200 be good . it have great zoom and decent keystone correction . I be use it in a garage office with overhead led spot and blackout curtain on the sole window but it be plenty bright to use even in a light room on `` Standard '' brightness and this be best color . `` brightest '' look more wash out by far . Works great with dual hdmus - use a hd Directv DVR and alternate the other between PS3 and Apple TV , Roku . the MacBook pro Retina with Mountain Lion and AirPlay easily put my Mac display on the big screen - nice bonus . a bit blurry run thru projector either on AirPlay or use the mbp hdmus port and it do go to 16:9 use the Mac 's HDMI port . Works great with we flight sim pc and the HDMI port on EVGA GeForce GTX 680 FTW too . both would be adequate for class or work . excellent PS3 performance use Gran Turismo , COD , etc. . I have see the $ 3k projector but nowhere near enough difference to justify the price . you will not regret this projector for home or work . +849 Projector POS 5 I order this item and it be one of the best investment I have ever make it work great good picture and kind of small and light weight . also it seem durable the remote work well and it get far range . I love it so far . +132 Projector POS 5 I purchase this projector to use for business presentation when we be on the road . it pack nicely and be easy to travel with . it work well for the presentation and get the job do . I be please with this purchase . +949 Projector POS 5 I honestly think that it would not be that great due to the price of the product , but i be highly impress when I get it . it hook up to everything like it say and I love it . +2 Projector POS 4 Update : I have use it quite a bit now , hook up the cable , computer , Seagate and now my Roku . hand down , Roku rock on this thing for Netflix and Hulu use the hdmus input . still have not try the Wii . the Seagate be awful and the computer and cable be ok . for some reason , the Roku seem to produce the most consistently good picture and I be play directly off a white wall with a near 6-foot tall picture . the light can even be on the lowest dim and you get a fine picture . you do not need a completely dark room for a perfectly enjoyable picture . the screen I buy will be use for outside since I have find play the larger picture on the wall be great . the built-in speaker be fine for tv but I buy a inexpensive speaker set at best buy that work better for movie . my little basement room be now like my own personal theater ! original review : First , I be amaze at how quickly this arrive . I be a prime member so I get good shipping time , but this be just astounding . I order it and it arrive the very next day ! I hook it up to my Macbook , which take a little more cabling than the various cable include but I have what I need . I play a movie and then Hulu and it work great . I do not have to have all the light off , and I be project onto a proper screen . I be not use the HDMI port but the quality of the picture be extremely good -- just like watch a large standard def tv . I also use headphone so I do not know how the speaker sound yet . overall , this meet my all my expectation and I would recommend it . one note : if you notice the usb port , it be not really a port ; it be placeholder for a port . I be sure a higher end of the same model must have the actual port . +416 Projector NEG 2 buy this item for my husband as a Christmas gift . I read so many review about PICO projector and focus on this one because it seem to be the best out there . then I read dozen of review on the pk 301 . I have mix feeling and I be not sure it this be a good purchase . my husband open it Christmas morning and go to we bedroom to test it out . we bedroom have burgundy wall and the shades be down , so there be very little light or brightness in the room . when I come into the room to check it out , he already have it pack up in the box and say `` send it back '' . Picture quality be poor , even in we dark bedroom . what be worse , be that when I tell he what it cost , he jaw hit the floor ! I do not necessarily think that this specific model or brand be no good , but I think that as a whole , pico projector be just not there , technologically speak . it be like the Christmas gift you could not wait for as a kid because it look so cool on the commercial and the idea be great in theory , but once you use it , you be incredibly disappointed because it do not live up to the claim . this be one toy -lrb- yes , that be really all it be , because it be just not functional -rrb- that I recommend you skip , especially for the $ $ $ . +739 Projector NEG 1 make of cheap material and not sturdy enough . we spend a lot of time to make it work finally but I still do not like the way it hang . I do not recommend this one at all . +537 Projector POS 4 I find this mount when look for a economy mount for my classroom at school . a strong and stable mount , it have not move since we install and aim it . my one concern be that the product ship without instruction , but we school engineer who have hang mount before have no problem install it . zif not tfor the lack of instruction , it would have easily get 5 star ! +645 Projector NEU 3 the video signal be very good , the audio cable do make noise when no audio be play , but it be not notice when audio be be pay . overall , it be good enough for I . +908 Projector POS 5 I do a unbelievable amount of research on home theater projector over the course of about a year begin on a projector about half the price of this and slowly make my way to this model before decide that this be the one . I have never buy a projector before so I do not want to jump in and buy one for $ 6,000 + or anything , but I be a movie geek so I still want the best that I could possibly get on a reasonable budget . I be overjoy to report that this projector be beyond my wildest expectation . I own a Samsung Touch of Red lcd screen that be the envy of everyone who come over and see it , but this blow that out of the water -lrb- project 100 '' onto a fix 16:9 screen -rrb- . color be bright and the image be crisp with great contrast . although I do calibrate it and get the image to look slightly better , I find that it be not really too necessary as the out of the box color 1 setting be tune well enough . I will say this about it though , it be huge . although it do not weigh a great deal , the physical size of this thing be gigantic . I also have some difficulty get a universal projector mount to fit and hang right with it , but I guess that be not entirely its fault as I be sure other more experienced have no trouble . +235 Projector NEG 1 we purchase a BenQ pb 6100 projector . if the overall quality of the projector be fine , such be not the case of the lamp which blow up in less than 6 week !!! and worse benq do NOT honor they international guarantee and the support center do not respond to the email for exchange the lamp -lrb- price 400 $ ! -rrb- . overall a very poor support . my last boxlight lamp be still run after 4 year . this be my first benq but surely the last . a strong suggestion , do not buy BenQ . +452 Projector NEG 1 I purchase this projector refurbish off woot.com for $ 650 . great deal , right ? I then build a entire home theater around this unit , purchase a 5.1 surround receiver and speaker system , electric projector screen , mount hardware , speaker wire , etc. . by the time all equipment come in and I be ready to set up the system it be about 45 day later . it work great for about one week , then the lamp start shut off . I call and they say it be the lamp that need to be replace and it would cost $ 250 to do so , because the lamp be only guarantee for 30 day -lrb- the rest of the projector 90 day -rrb- . I only put about 30 hour of time on the lamp and it will cost I $ 250 more dollar ? that put the cost of the projector over what it would cost to buy new in only one week 's time . I be stick return the projector back to woot for the refund and look for a better company that make hd projector for my theater . my sister be also on she 3rd optoma projector because of shoddy circuitry . she be send she 's back before to find that it would cost she $ 400 for out of warrantee service . you may have better luck than I , but buy at you own risk because Optoma do not stand behind they product and will overcharge you for the repair . +771 Projector NEG 1 please be careful and do not be cheat by the poor and cheep offer for this projector -lrb- lcd Video Projector -lrb- include HDMI Cable & Extra Bulb -rrb- Great for dvd , Wii , XBox , Playstation it be really bad and you will not get any chance to return it back because the seller will ignore you and you email if you want to return it back . +344 Projector NEG 2 I purchase the 106 inch version of this projector . it be very long , obviously . take a little bit of effort get the box into my apartment from the hallway . -lrb- without bump into wall , overhead light , etc -rrb- the packaging be decent , but it could have be better . the metal frame be dent right in the middle which be annoying , but I do not care . the metal tripod be easy to unfold and set up and the metal feel cheap . once I attach the screen to the tripod , I be able to easily raise it to my desire height . the first thing I notice be that the screen be not completely parallel with the floor . it be at about a 20 degree angle . I have to put a book under one of the tripod leg to compensate to get it to be straight . also the top of the screen be more forward than the bottom . I also notice some dusty hand print all over the back of the screen . this be annoying , but again not a dealbreaker . I be not ask for much ... I just want a functional white screen that be portable . -lrb- since I do not have space in my condo for a permanent screen -rrb- the actual screen quality be good . watch my 3d 1080p blu-ray on it look amazing . -lrb- this may have more to do with my Optoma projector than the actual screen quality -rrb- cosmetically , the only change I would have want be to have the frame and the tripod to be paint black instead of white . after I watch a movie for 45 minute , I try to take down the projector and put it away . that be when thing get bad . the screen retract about 70 % of the way down and then get stick . several tug up and down do not fix this . since it be 1am and I be worry all of this pull would wake up my kid , I pull the projector back up and leave it on the tripod . I try to take it down the next morning and stillgot stick about 70 % the way in . I finally tug really hard -lrb- almost to the point of where I think it would tear -rrb- and whatever it be stick on have set it free . I finally be able to close it . that be a lot of effort for use this projector for the very first time . not off to a good start . the 2nd time I use it -lrb- later that day -rrb- , set-up again be fine , but when I try close it again , it get pinch on something and would not move down . this time it be worse because I could no longer pull it up either . it be just stick completely . I email the favus tech support to see if they have a solution to fix this . they do not help I at all . they just say that they could not find my purchase record on they database . I tell they that I purchase it via Amazon and they say they still could not find my record . it also take they 2-3 day to reply to email . I decide to return it directly to Amazon . I wish FAVI 's customer service be as good as amazon . I be able to return it the next day and get a full refund . -lrb- UPS pick up the box from my porch -rrb- thank AMAZON ! I just want a simple manual projector that I could set up and take down as I please . I be able to overlook the dented frame , the cheap metal , the dirty hand print , and the uneven screen . but , the most important component in a manual screen be probably the retract mechanism . once that fail , the entire product be useless . not everyone who purchase this have have problem so it be definitely a quality control issue . it be a shame that I have to return it because when it be set-up , it look great . +422 Projector NEG 1 the whole part be solid except the screw , shame when a screw break inside the connect plastic side of the projector , it ruin everything . +415 Projector POS 5 I have try less expensive bulb from other place . I either return they because they do not work or they last half the lamp time of this one . the lamp I get from Amazon work the first time and actually last 3-4000 hour of view time . will not buy a lamp anywhere else . +363 Projector POS 5 bright , clear , quiet , perfect picture . hook up the blu-ray and Wii . really enjoy and like we purchase . highly recommend . +810 Projector POS 4 I do not give a 5 star because for my home media center it work with 1080p resolution , but with my ps3 it only work with 720p resolution . I have try to watch a 3d movie demo and I could not , I do not know why . but the image be good . +144 Projector POS 4 EDIT # 3 : back to a great review : -rrb- while complain on twitter about my projector , @optomausa see it and contact I about fix my projector . long story short , they fix it at no cost to I , other than ship it to they . this be a great gesture consider the warranty have be out for 6 month . I hope to get more than a year out of the replacement chip . EDIT # 2 : to be exact , I have 475 hour on this projector . EDIT : well , with just a little over a year on this projector and still the original bulb , I have in excess of 50 dead pixel on my screen . very disappoint with this projector and very hard to watch thing with a constellation in you way . even at $ 500 for this projector , it be not worth it if it only last a year . previous REVIEW : I buy this projector after my Dell 2300MP die a inexplicable death . I really do not think you could get a decent project for under $ 1k , but boy be I wrong . the picture on this projector be great . there be a little bit of detectable noise in the picture , but I be not sure if it be because I be feed it from a 20ft long vga cable and not hdmus . I plan on replace the cable eventually with a hdmus one . I be use this projector on a mythtv frontend . it be run in 1280x800 mode -lrb- it be actual native resolution -rrb- and it display hdtv perfectly . it be quick to find the signal when turn on . it be quick to turn off . although the picture display quick , it take a minute or two for the bulb to project in the right color cast . also , when first power on , the fan be very noticeable , but once the picture stabilize -lrb- 1 minute or so -rrb- , the fan speed kick down and it be fairly quiet . my previous screen -lrb- for my Dell -rrb- be too small so I end up smooth out the wall and painting over it with white paint . even though it be not project on a proper screen , the color be still great and the contrast be very good . so , if you want to have a good home theater and you really do not want to spend a lot of money , this projector should be on the top of you list . +207 Projector POS 5 I be skeptical that this very low price projector would be as good as the review claim . no need ! it be light in weight , project brilliantly , be easily set up , come with good instruction and do the job as well as anyone could wish for ! we use it as part of wedding ceremony when a rental unit charge would have be $ 300.00 more than the price of buy this unit ! try it , you 'll like it ! +365 Projector POS 5 great picture quailty , look just as good as my lcd , people think i spend way more on it , i do have to lower the brightness to not wash the color out but it take no time to set up . would buy again +255 Projector NEU 3 this projector actually work very well , the only draw back be that it will not work with anything but video or power point presentation . it will not display document file like Excel , Word , access . I be really hope to use this as a presentation tool for many different document type . I wish I have know about these limitation before my purchase . +149 Projector POS 5 I be able to replace my tv lamp very easily with this assembly . the picture quality be very clear . very quick service and reasonable price . +578 Projector NEG 1 everything seem fine and normal . I pop the bulb in and it work ok for about a hour before it start to overheat . I have a bigass fan sit around so I open the window and point it at the projector . it last another month and finally burn out with the bulb lifespan of only 72 hour . Amazon have be awesome in assist I with my return and full refund . I be mail the bulb back as we speak . +820 Projector NEG 2 ALARM CLOCK have AUTO TIME SETTING , IT WAS OFF 4 MIN FIRST DAY and OFF 5 MIN the next . the ALARM DID GO OFF BUT OFF 10 MIN or SO . I think TIMEX be the best and I just get a lemon . I contact the COMPANY to RETURN IT . you will be DIRECTED to the return POLICY to READ the page of requirement and the whole process be to try to NOT get you to RETURN IT or trip you up SO that you return it not the WAY STATED and THEY CAN refuse the return !! after pay 8.95 in postage to send back the `` LEMON '' , AMAZON send a EMAIL that THEY be processing my return -lrb- at least I make it through the return process !! -rrb- and I should see a credit to MY CARD in 10 day for the AMT of the `` LEMON '' ONLY . I pay 8.95 to get it and paid 8.95 to send it back . I will never buy ONLINE again ! lesson learn . +173 Projector NEU 3 this project be very decent for the money you pay the picture image be not bad . however I be very excite to learn that this projector come with a spare bulb as we all know how expensive they could be . this be one of the main reason that drive I to buy this model once I recieve the item and try it out the bulb inside the projector be break . so much for the spare bulb . +529 Projector POS 5 for educational presentation I have in mind for the video and all the presentation that I have in mind be simply more than excellent diff --git a/dev/RiceCooker.txt b/dev/RiceCooker.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..9a8ad375f7d7e2bd7f9acaf96c4139f6acab3c3b --- /dev/null +++ b/dev/RiceCooker.txt @@ -0,0 +1,100 @@ +852 RiceCooker POS 5 want to make some great sushi -- and this pot turn out fabulous rice , could not have be better for the task ! also , since get this aroma , I have do several one-dish dinner in it , steam meat & veggy right with the rice . its do a dynamite job -- almost like have a cook in the house , finish off dish for I .

I call the customer service and they offer to send a new one to I , but I have to pay for the 8 dollar postage . I do , and I get a new one 2 week later . I handle it more carefully because I learn from past experience that this new cutie might be somewhat fragile too . but very tragically the second one do not last for more than a week . this time , I do not even feel sorry for it . they just do not have the quality that will allow I cook lunch everyday . if you be prepare to give up eat rice soon , this be the rice cooker for you . +8 RiceCooker POS 5 this be the best buy I have ever make from Amazon ... and I have make quite a few now . I absolutely love this machine and use it everyday for cooking just about every meal from Oatmeal in the morning to Pot Roast in the evening . I use every feature and have even make up way of use this machine that be not specify . I have make great Tofu , Hard Boiled Eggs , Rice , preserve , Soups & Stews and so much more . a great machine at a great buy ... you wont regret it ! +61 RiceCooker NEG 2 I buy this cooker in May 2011 , and have use it at least twice a week ever since . within 2 month , the steamer tray become very warped . in addition , the cooker make a huge mess every time i use it . it do not seem to do it as bad when cooking white rice , but since I cook mostly brown rice and quinoa , it get sticky watery mess all over the place . I think we could deal with it , but my counter be get stain ! Time to replace the cooker ! +718 RiceCooker POS 5 we have the larger version of this cooker , which cook rice perfectly . what we like about this little one -lrb- apart from the slick stainless steel look -rrb- be that for one meal for 2-4 people , it be just the right size . it cook much faster , in part due to the smaller area for steam , etc to go . we love this product , and highly recommend it . +9 RiceCooker POS 5 Effective & inexpensive rice cooker . prepare softer grain rice -lrb- Thai Jasmine -rrb- to perfection . Black , brown , & red variety use more water & take longer to cook . spray a small amount of oil in the bottom of the removable , aluminum pot to help prevent sticking . Automatic thermostat switch to warm when do , keep rice warm for hour . +79 RiceCooker POS 5 I do a lot of research prior to choose the Zojirushi rice cooker and luckily for I by the time I be ready to purchase the company have come out with this model ns-vgc05 which be very compact and perfect for one person or even two . it do a amazing job of cook the rice to perfection . the instruction be easy to follow especially for be a novice . I be anxious to try the different setting for different rice and cake . I call the company to find out about the build in clock . the instruction do not explain whether you have to have the unit plug in to recharge the clock . the answer be that you do not have to have it plug in . it be a lithium battery that have a 5-6 year life and then you would call the company directly to have it replace . the clean up be really easy again by follow the instruction . I highly recommend this product . it be definitely worth the money pay !!! +441 RiceCooker POS 4 this rice cooker be right appropriate for I and my roommate , and it look so cute . I expect it would last long . +881 RiceCooker NEG 1 Dont buy this rice cooker , rice boil over all the time . and eventhough it say it can hold 1 1\/2 cup of uncooked rice . it hold only 3\/4 cup of uncooked rice . very disappointed ... not sure how it work so well for other . +515 RiceCooker NEG 1 first , it turn out to be a LOT smaller than you would think . one cup of rice and two cup of water fill the pan all the way to the top , to the point where grain get blow out of the little steam-release hole in the glass top . in the three time I use it it always leave a very burned layer at the bottom . not just some crispy stuff , but burn all the way black . then the worst -- after three use the whole unit burn out and stop work . this be cheap , but no matter , a complete waste of money . +592 RiceCooker NEG 2 it make excellent rice , I 'll give it that . but after 3 year of relatively light use -lrb- it spend 8 month of that time in storage while I be search for a permanent job -rrb- , the bottom be flake . not scratch , actively flake . I use the scoop provide and most of the time , I just wipe the pot clean . occasionally , I use dish soap -lrb- chemical-free -rrb- and a non-abrasive scour pad when starchy residue build up . it make excellent rice and porridge , but now I be look at drop another $ 100 + on a appliance when it should have last longer . one of my asian friend be still use she mom 's first Zojirushi and it be 20 year old ! I absolutely can not recommend this rice cooker . +434 RiceCooker NEG 1 inside be a steam rack , not a steam basket as show in the picture . so I return it and buy another one . just do not trust the picture . +216 RiceCooker POS 5 this be my first rice cooker and I do not really understand how I ever live without it . it be really easy to use . and the rice always come out perfectly . for a super fast meal , through in some veg in the steamer tray and I have get a complete meal . I be a little worried at first about the size , since I only cook for myself . but once I have rice , I find different way to eat it and I have never regret have a abundance of the stuff . definitely a win . +660 RiceCooker POS 4 I love the convenience of this cooker but I find that it take twice as much water as the instruction call for to obtain tender , fluffy rice . the first few time I use it I put the recommend amount of water in and find the rice would burn before the cycle be complete . other than that this be a handy little product . +707 RiceCooker NEU 3 I be not terribly happy with this rice cooker . we typically only make 2 cup of rice to serve 2 adult and a toddler . to avoid have the bottom layer of rice overcooked -lrb- i.e. crispy and brown -rrb- the instruction say to rinse the rice until the water be clear . do so take a significant amount of time and effort , which be not what I want to do after work while run around after a toddler and a infant . and after you spend several minute rinse the rice , it still take 40-45 minute to cook the measly 2 cup of rice . plus , the cooking pot , steam rack , and serve paddle be not dishwasher safe . so you have to spend additional time handwashing everything when you be do . lastly , there be nothing to indicate how much cook time be leave -lrb- even approximately -rrb- , so you just have to know how long it be go to take and keep track of the timing yourself . on the plus side , the cooking pot wash very easily by hand , even with the overcooked , crispy browned rice stick to it . it be a attractive appliance , too . I also like the little side pocket that catch the condensation that run down when open the lid . it be easy to pop off and empty the collect water . still , I would not buy this particular product again . +951 RiceCooker POS 5 look around for a bargain to occasionally make that perfect asian rice . this be definitely it ... perfect every time . also , I have no idea how long the battery for the clock and setting last , but we lose power for 3 day , and nothing be lose . +605 RiceCooker NEG 2 EMPTYSTRING +542 RiceCooker POS 4 I didnt check on its dimension before buy it . although I love Amazon but I never understand how could Amazon be so ignorant in about product description . it not just about this product , they dont explain the specification and detail of the product as good as it could be see in google online purchase . many time I have to google the product , do its webssite , check the detail and then come back to amazon and order it . nonetheless it be certainly a very small cooker , just good enough for cooking rice enough for 2 people -lrb- if they eat normally : d -rrb- . Cooker work great . be use it for 6 month and no complain yet . +7 RiceCooker NEG 1 - work ok but require too much clean up . there be a lot of spill even when cook only 1\/2 cup - totally break down after less than 2 week . no power whatsoever when plug it in . - i be go for another brand and never go to trust black and decker again . +285 RiceCooker POS 5 this be my first rice make so I can not compare it to other , but it work great . it make it so easy to make great rice . not only do it do it for you while you attend to other task , but it do it just right . not to dry , not to wet . I highly recommend this product if you use rice in you menu . +225 RiceCooker POS 5 I have be use this every day for about a month and it work perfectly with perfect rice every time . the really nice thing about it be that you can time the rice to be do at a certain time , so then you do not have to wait in order to soak the rice , you just fill up the cooker again after you finish the rice and time it to cook the next batch . it keep the rice warm automatically , and the warming feature work really well . I have keep rice warm for a full day , and it seem to stay nice . I recommend that you get a big bag of good quality rice like tamanishikus and have at it . +470 RiceCooker POS 4 Works great just like another review i read you need to put a towel underneath it or it leave a film +763 RiceCooker POS 4 just get it and right out of the box the first batch be perfect . subsequent batch leave over 15 min . on heat setting get some browning to the rice , bur not all that much . also have one occasion of collect starchy moisture where the handle be . the steamer ` basket ' have hole too large to keep frozen pea from fall through , not a really big issue , I just put they in with the rice now - perfect solution . all say and do , it do what its suppose to so I give it a thumb up . +137 RiceCooker POS 5 love my new rice cooker ! I get it through amazon prime , so it arrive in 2 day . the box come with the instruction book that have receipt you can use . I dont have a kitchen in my studio apt and this cooker have save I so much money . I be eat healthier and the food come out great and be do fast ! I even make chicken noodle soup with this cooker : -rrb- . go and get this baby ! +670 RiceCooker POS 4 have it for about a month -lrb- use about 10 time -rrb- . good product for I so far . do not stick when I cook rice . cook pretty fast . one of the concern that I have when read other review be that the cooker would spew water when cooking . this be not the case with mine . this make barely just enough rice for two people . one person really if you love rice , but you can always make more b\/c it cook pretty fast . I have not use the steam option . it look too small for I to use . happy with the purchase from Amazon . fast shipping with good packaging . +299 RiceCooker POS 5 I recently purchase this very rice cooker . with as much Hanmi steam rice that I eat , I easily justify the expense . incidentally , I find the lowest price right here at Amazon.com - simply could not beat it ! this unit be one amazing little computerized cooker . I do not think it would be possible to have the restaurant quality rice at home . on my first try , the rice be even better than that ! what a delight to have it come out so beautifully cook and ready to be serve . I simply can not emphasize how pleased and impressed I be with Zojirushi . simply the best ! regards , Randy S. www.lovethatkimchi.com +925 RiceCooker NEU 3 this model make exceptional and easy rice . but whoever the idiot be that decide it need a carb -lrb- hole -rrb- should be reprimand . previous model with a bubble lid work just fine and avoid have a starchy mess all over you counter and floor area . I suggest line the surround counter with damp towel , and one on the floor as well before turn this messy machine on . +467 RiceCooker POS 5 I receive it but have not get a chance to use it yet . but it look very nice and the quality be very good . I love it . +922 RiceCooker POS 5 I just use my rice cooker yesterday and be very pleased with the result . it make just enough for my family size -lrb- there be only two of use -rrb- and the clean up be easy . I be concern about the sputter that I have read that other rice cooker make . I do not encounter that problem at all . I use jasmine rice in mine and decrease the amount of water in by a 1\/4 of a cup . I also rinse it quite a few time and since I do not have a proper strainer -lrb- I believe I read that a mesh strainer would be good for this -rrb- I still have some water leave over . that be the reason for the water decrease , although it would not have be more than a few tablespoon at best . it cook a lot quicker than I think it would . the instruction say to stir at the 15 minute mark , which I do . about a minute later , the light switch to the warming function . I have not use the steamer tray yet since I usually just stir fry mine but I will give it a try with some green bean . not sure how it will work but I 'll give a update on its success or failure . all in all , I can see myself get a lot of use out of this product . +153 RiceCooker NEU 3 upon open the package , the first thing I notice be the low quality of the component . the steam tray be a flimsy piece of plastic that sit at the top of the rice cooker . the rice cooker \/ crockpot container itself be removable , which be nice , but it also appear to be cheap and poorly construct . I feel like I be go to break this thing after a few more use . neither the primary container or the steamer have handle , so you will likely burn yourself as you try to remove you food . my steam tray stain after the first use even though I wash it immediately after remove my food . do this product work ? yes . be there better product that will make I happier ? yes . that be say , I should also mention that I still plan on keep this and use it regularly , but it be not my favorite kitchen gadget . perhaps I can find a way to fashion a handle for the steamer and then all will be well in the world , or at least better . +479 RiceCooker NEU 3 so my rice cooker die yesterday . I plug it in like usual , and in mid-cook the cooking light go off and it never come back on . check the plug etc but nope , it be dead . check when I get it - December 2010 . so for 25 buck I get just under 2 year use out of it . I have no complaint about how it make rice and I know it be not expensive , but I be still surprise it only last this long . I 'll say 5 star for performance but only 3 star for longevity . +56 RiceCooker NEG 2 this cooker be good for 1 person serve of rice . it be too small for 2 person . the product look cute . +59 RiceCooker POS 4 you can read my original 1-star -lrb- should have be zero -rrb- review below . after post it , I email a copy to aroma through they web site . I receive a email back say I could have it fix through warranty . I write back thank they for respond , but point out they have not actually read what they be respond to since the point be that they make it more expensive to have it fix under warranty than it would be to buy it new -lrb- again -rrb- . next day a aroma rep call I . I have to explain again that they warranty term make the warranty worthless and why . she response , `` well , that would just be silly ! it would make no sense . '' -lrb- that be my point . -rrb- she go on to say that they have change they warranty from what be include with the product precisely because it be ridiculous to ask the customer to pay more than the replacement cost to get a warranty repair . she tell I that all I have to do be to provide proof-of-purchase . no return . no s&h; fee . I go online to my amazon account , save the order as a pdf and email it to the rep. within a week a new rice cooker arrive . admittedly , I have not try it -lrb- because I have already purchase a different-brand replacement locally -rrb- . hopefully , the replacement aroma cooker will last more than two time . still , I be impressed that they respond , call , and replace the unit . o r i g i n a l r e v i e w s t a r t s b e l o w : I love the red color . this be go to be a great fit for the decor at my cabin . three time this work just fine . the fourth time it get so hot that the bottom inch and a half of rice be a solid brick . I pull the pot out of the cooker and set it down into water in the sink . it fizzle , pop , steam for a unreasonably long time . the burnt rice be so harden that it come right out in one piece . however , after wash the pot with just a soapy sponge , I realize that the teflon coating be flake off . still , I try again to see what would happen . I find that it only know the hottest setting -- no simmer , not `` warm '' -- just extremely hot . I have check the warranty . forget it . really , in all honesty , there be no warranty on these . for a warranty claim , you have to call to get a rma . then ship it back to they at you expense . and you have to include $ 13 to have they ship a replacement or repair one back to you . so , the get it repair under warranty will cost more than just buy another . +284 RiceCooker POS 5 I be one of those people who believe in `` the less clutter , the better , '' so I be always loathe to purchase kitchen equipment that I might never use . I fear complicated and difficult-to-clean device in particular . in my house , thing that be not dishwasher safe go to Goodwill in a hurry . no part of the Zojirushi cooker be dishwasher safe , but that do not stop I from fall in love with it after the first batch of perfectly-cooked rice . unlike the pot I use to use to cook rice , this little machine 's solid non-stick coated bowl slough off any and all bit of rice with the lightest brush of my hand . it be a cinch to clean . handwash the rice cooker bowl take thirty seconds . that be less time than it use to take I to prewash\/scrub the pot I use to use to cook rice before put they in the dishwasher . what be more , the rice come out perfectly and evenly cook ; the machine play cute song when start and stop the cooking process , make cooking seem a little less awful -lrb- I hate cooking -rrb- ; the timer function mean I do not lose any sleep get fresh rice ready at 5 be when I pack my husband 's lunch ; and the mixed rice function let I throw in bit of chicken or other item to be cook at the same time . I could not be happier with this rice cooker and would recommend it to anyone who be consider a small cooker for they own family . +889 RiceCooker POS 5 I have be use this rice cooker for 10 month now , and it have make a perfect batch of rice every single time . it be easy to use and clean up , and the warming feature work perfectly -lrb- I have accidentally leave it on for over a hour without any issue -rrb- . highly recommend , especially at under twenty dollar . +736 RiceCooker NEU 3 Exterior be nice but a little dissapointed with the performance compare to my old make in Japan Zojirushi it cook adequately but froth up liquid onto the lip under the lid and also burn the rice on the bottom I dont really recommend it for the price . make in Japan product be the best because they care about quality for they citizen and not just to make some make in cheap China export to sell to Americans at a high profit margin without regard to function and quality +697 RiceCooker NEG 1 Update 30 November 2011 : DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT . as of 8 month ago , the nonstick coating on the rice cooker pot start come loose . I think nothing of it , because it be minor scratch . over time , the nonstick start flake off into the food , so I start to get nervous . I call the part people , who inform I that the part be no longer there , and be discontinue . funny how the rice cooker be still be sell at full price . in other word , after about two year , you 'll start lose the nonstick , and you will not be able to replace it . in other word , this thing have last I all of three year flat , and I can not replace something that should be a relatively simple thing to replace . what be worse be that Sanyo 's customer service be nonexistent . I can not find the number to call they customer service directly . thing be not be build like they use to be . I should have spend the tiny bit extra , and buy the Zojirushi . that be what I 'll be do next . thanks for the horrible customer service , Sanyo . I 'll never be buy from you again . other annoyance : I make brown rice all the time . the cooker always default back to white rice , rather than remember my last choice . it also take a extra 30 minute longer than rice should take . brown rice take close to 90 minute , not 45 , like I be use to . White rice take at least 45 minute . over time , the sensor must be go wonky , because in spite of my measure perfectly each time , the cooker err on the side of mushy . the number on the inside be write in ink , and not stamp into the pot . this mean that the number rub off . where do they go ? Into my food , clearly . I be very careful with my rice cooker , because it cost a fortune , and the thing be use literally every day . I only wash it with mild dish soap , and a soft sponge . it never go in the dish washer , because we have no dish washer . so now , the simple task of measure my rice be a huge pain , because I have to squint to see the number 's impression . the lid that fit over top of the pot , and as a liner to the lid of the cooker start to get gross look over the course of 3 month or so . again , they be never place in the dish washer . the entire machine be shoddily make , and I be furious at be stupid enough to spend that kind of money . +904 RiceCooker POS 5 I do not have much to add that have not already be say . I have own this rice cooker now for 7 + year now -lrb- it be actually my first non college textbook purchase from Amazon -rrb- and it be perfect . it work great for 1-3 people , and I have never have any issue with it that be not cause by my own mistake of measurement . I will say that sometimes you have to figure out the best combination of water level\/cooking set for the rice you be try to cook , but once you have get it the way you like it the Zojirushi cook it consistently every time . I also have not have issue with the nonstick coating of the bowl except for a few scratch cause by someone use a metal spoon to scrape rice from the bottom , even they be minor though . overall a amazing product ! +549 RiceCooker NEU 3 I cook rice everyday . the cooker itself look nice and it be great while the moisture seal be new and supple , but after a year or so this rubber seal tend to flatten . and then you will not be able to keep the rice warm too long before you have rice that be dry on top and soggy at the bottom . this be the 2nd zojirushus Microm i have own with the same problem and yes the teflon on the bowl wear off too . Wish it be stainless instead . +814 RiceCooker POS 4 this rice cooker be great . I love the button top and the design and look of it . it cook the rice really well . the only downside be the inside cooking pan be not great . I put it in the dishwasher , which maybe I should not have do so it be kind of discolor now . overall , the cooker be great though . +835 RiceCooker POS 5 I purchase the Aroma Rice Cooker and Food Steamer after Thanksgiving as a present for my wife for Christmas . she quickly open the box , read the instruction and begin prepare a evening meal . she love it because she can steam veggy the way she like . she love the cooker . +513 RiceCooker POS 5 my wife and I just love the rice cooker because of the quality of the cooking bowl and the design layout be very simple and straight forward . the cooking time be about 35 min for two people and 55 min for four people . overall , this be a good rice cooker and we love it . +401 RiceCooker NEG 2 I purchase this rice cooker to replace one I have have previously . the price be right and it have the capacity I want and it even have a please appearance . but that be about all it have go for it , unfortunately . this cooker do a good job cooking the rice . I have cook a few batch of brown rice in it so far . the rice have come out well cook . better than my previous cooker , even ! some rice do get stick to the bottom , but I have a feeling that be a drawback of any rice cooker , really . my biggest complaint be its poor design . this pot be not make well at all ! all rice cooker have a steam vent , but in this case , the water from the steam vent almost seem to bubble out of the vent hole and drip down onto the counter top . while you can certainly put down a towel to soak up the water that drip down , that should not be something you would have to do , but for this pot , you really should . other issue include where the water from the steam collect . the first time I use the pot , the water collect around the inside seam where the lid seal when it be close . you open the lid when the rice be do cooking and water can drip down into the heating element 's area . I also find that water will collect in the hinge of the pot . I pick it up to go put it away after have clean it , and water pour all over my shirt from where it have collect in the hinge ! the pot seem to cook decently , but it suffer from poor design that produce excess mess to clean up . I 'll continue to use the pot until it wear out , but I will not be buy another one when it be time to replace this one , and I would not recommend this pot to anyone look for a rice cooker . +436 RiceCooker POS 4 I really like it , but it be ... really ... way too small . which be fine if that all you want it for be the rice part , but i do get it for also steam broccoli and I can barely fit a entire bag from the store into the smoker tray . just know that before you buy one . +330 RiceCooker POS 5 have own 1 rice cooker before this one I be tempt to replace my old one with a similar one that cost about $ 20 . it last I 22 year and be still go strong when someone in my household run cold water on the hot glass lid . quite a mess by the way . I assume all rice cooker burn on the bottom before I can across the $ 50 - $ 100 - $ 200 - $ 400 rice cooker . I have sticker shock for about week before I finally take the plunge and buy the Zojirushi WAC10 5 1\/2 cup . let I back up . I actually buy a 10 cup aroma as a replacement . I like it and the $ 40 price . the problem be everything I read say you have to cook at least 2 cup . it be just my wife and I and despite what I read all over the place the two of we can not eat 2 cup of uncooked rice . I bring it home and verify 2 cup be too much and we do not like leftover rice . I be only a 230 pound fellum so you can guess I be a pretty light eater -lrb- ha-ha -rrb- . I sell it to a buddy at work and buy the Zoji . I be impressed in every way . I cook 2 cup of brown rice tonight . it take about 1:45 minute to cook and be great . if you do not know it , brown rice take a long time to cook . it will probably cook white rice in around 30-40 minute . my old cheapie would cook it in 20 . Time be key , not the speed mind you but the quality it give you with even control heating . the fuzzy logic or whatever it be make the rice in the Zoji come out far better without stick to the bottom than my $ 20 unit . by the way , the $ 40 aroma from Walmart do not stick either . be it worth 3 time as much or more to get the Zoji , do not know for sure , time will tell . I do know that by go ahead and spend the money now I will not have to look over my shoulder and wonder if I could have have better rice on the dinner table . other stuff : I like the detachable cord for storage . I be not crazy about retractable cord . I replace one on my vacuum and it cost $ 100 . if I have to replace this one it will be cheap . handle be neat but not need . the etch fill line inside be easy to read and should be easy to read year from now . Easy to program and use . Pretty small footprint . I think a 5.5 cup will easily feed 6 adult . 4\/6\/12 : I have own this cooker for over a year now . still love it . best tip I get for cooking white rice be rinse the rice until the water be clear before cooking . it really help keep the rice from sticking . +113 RiceCooker POS 4 I get what I think be one of the better rice cooker for my boyfriend for Christmas . I go thru the trouble of have it ship in for the holiday as we be go skiing . we get it home and try it out . we be so excited . each time we use it , it make a huge mess all over the counter top no matter how much we make or how little we make . finally we give up and try this one . it have be a dream . we have make all different kind of rice , grits , oatmeal , and no fuss , no mess . it even have a fast cook set that we use most of the time - we do not plan for dinner quite well enough to do it the long way . the fast cook method be just as great . we have be creative and try some of we own recipe and make thing up . no mess , no fuss ! the instruction book that come with the cooker be not great but be creative . it have be great and so easy . we both laugh when the little tune play as you begin and end cooking cycle . it be worth a bit extra to spend to get a great product . thanks Amazon for you great policy as well . I highly recommend this cooker and we be tough on thing . it have be great ! +313 RiceCooker POS 5 if you buy or have buy this machine , than you my friend have arrive . this little machine be the ultimate in rice and steam cooking , basically whatever you want it to do within 30 minute and its do . I personally like make my crushed red pepper chicken with rice . have fun with this , its simply perfect . +140 RiceCooker POS 5 love this cooker ... be a indian you know we make all ur food and veggy in cooker ... make malaus kofta and fry rice quickly with its help ... . great price work great no complaint ! +419 RiceCooker POS 4 I use to cook my rice in a pot , but it always bubble over and make a mess . so , I decide to buy this one because it have good review and look similar to the one my roommate buy from Japan . I love it ! it be be about 6 month since I buy it and it have work well . I find that Jasmine rice work best and I do have to experiment a bit with the water to rice ratio before perfect it . it steam my dumpling and veggy very well . I do have issue with the rice be too hard if I leave it in the pot on `` warm . '' but that be no biggie . my advice be to clean it immediately after all the rice have be remove . wipe down the top and empty the condensation catcher . +248 RiceCooker POS 5 do cooking in about 20 minute . when pack rice for Lunch it be easy to start cooking and go for bathing and come back to pack . sleek and good look , do not occupy much space . best value for the price and I get it with free shipping . go for it . +920 RiceCooker POS 5 if you be still boil and steam on a stove top , buy this and be free ! a super time saver , I have have mine about a year . this would be super for dorm room and very small apartment , no stove need . it cook so fast , that it will help student to eat more healthy whole grain instead of chip and candy ! add soy sauce to brown rice for a salty treat and have fiber + vitamin instead of oily chip ! as well as many type of rice , I eat many steamed grain ; amaranth , millet , quinoa , buckwheat , and more . this little cooker steam they all with ease and elegance . Wish I would buy one year ago . just measure in the grain and water , set and walk away . after a while the grain be warm and wait , with a warmer feature to keep they hot , but still moist -lrb- tight seal -rrb- , until I be ready to eat ! Dishwasher safe , easy to clean . if you be new at steam grain , they may come out too dry\/hard or too mushy until you figure out the right proportion of grain to water . like rice and pasta , you want not too soft and not too hard , but tender all the way through . add more or less water until you know the right proportion and measure every time . you will have perfectly steamed grain and it will take only seconds to measure the water and grain once you have the proportion right . whole grain be healthy to eat ! buy in bulk and save money ! check out `` handy pantry '' -lrb- on Amazon -rrb- for huge bucket of millet , amaranth , quinoa , etc. . +102 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy this rice cooker after try other and nothing come close to how this rice cooker make rice . it be excellent . the rice come out perfect everytime . soft , fluffy , tender and just right . I buy the 3-cup rice cooker and if you serve the perfect portion it serve about 6 people -lrb- a spoon & 1\/2 -rrb- . it be compact and easy to keep clean and store in any small space . I think this be the best rice cooker i have ever own . I love it !! +778 RiceCooker NEG 1 the coil blow in the first few use . I think B&D; make generally good product , but not this time . have to return it and get another brand from target . +886 RiceCooker POS 5 I struggle with a cheap rice cooker for year and get this as a gift . it make rice so magically perfect , I could not believe it . each grain be tender , and not sticky and just the `` al dente '' of rice . yes , it cost 4 time as much as other cooker , but it be worth every single penny . this company make awesome thermos too ! +979 RiceCooker POS 5 I would be have trouble with a brown crust form on the rice . then one evening I forget to put salt in the rice . Lo ! the rice cook perfectly , there be no brown crust and the rice be delicious . -lrb- it have the consistency and taste of rice from a good chinese restaurant . -rrb- so I get excellent rice for dinner and low sodium content to boot . other have suggest stir the rice at various stage of the cooking process . that can not hurt -- but I do not stir the rice and there be no problem -- once I leave the salt out . unfortunately , there be no bell or buzzer to let you know when the rice be finish cooking . so you do have to pay attention . but then , this device cost less than $ 20 not over $ 200 . I definitely recommend this rice cooker for small family or singles . it would work very well in a small apartment or anywhere if the cook top space be limit . +945 RiceCooker POS 5 we purchase this rice cooker several year ago and absolutly love it . not only could we not mess up the water to rice measurement -lrb- rice cooker adjust -rrb- but we rice stay great for 3 day . that be unbelievable !! we main diet be rice so I can say that with confidence and experience . we use ours for year until it be beyond use . since then I have be through 3 different brand and everyone of they could not even compare . either they dry out the edge of the remain rice the next day or it be soggy and start spoil quickly . all be horrible and a waste of money !! I highly reccommend this rice cooker . cost may be a bit more but worth every penny . +115 RiceCooker POS 4 I have be use this black and Decker rice cooker for two month . I have not notice any problem with it . it cook rice , stew , soup , potato and spaghetti in less than 30 minute . it be so convenient and light to lift or carry . I use it at my dorm and I hope it 'll last for at least two year . the only concern I have be that the inner coated part of the pot might begin to peel off if I use a steel spoon or fork on it : -lrb- but I will be careful and use only ceramic or plastic on it . other than that , it be a great product ! and I be happy use it : -rrb- +968 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy a earlier version of this rice cooker a couple of year ago and have be delighted with it . base on my recommendation , two friend have buy they . and I myself just buy a third one -lrb- the new version -rrb- as a present for another friend . nothing to add to the positive comment from other in this forum . we have not check out the bread-making capability yet , but the new one make rice and steel-cut oatmeal just as well as the old one . my one small complaint be that it be difficult to clean next to the hinge . but that be minor , compare to the cooker 's overall quality and convenience . for what it be worth , my favorite everyday rice by far be Kokuho Rose rice , which cook perfectly in the Sanyo . you can buy the rice at any asian food store , and at many supermarket that have a large `` international food '' section . +229 RiceCooker POS 5 I have be use this thing basically every day since I receive it -lrb- about 1 month ago -rrb- . it be perfect for serve 1 or 2 people . very reliable and easy to clean . accurate cooking and very convenient automatic shutoff as I often forget to check on what be cooking downstairs . unbeatable price . even if it be to break today I would order another . +777 RiceCooker POS 4 its really a awesome rice cooker for 2 person . smaller one and keep the rice warm for quite some time . and easy carriable too . +151 RiceCooker NEG 2 this be probably the smallest rice cooker mankind can build . please remember this product be extremely small , and most probably not what a rice eater be look for ! the product description on amazon say its a 3 cup cooker . what I realize after it arrive be the fact that it hold 3 cup of `` cook '' rice . also the cup volume be only 135cc ! +286 RiceCooker POS 4 like the color ; the bright red match the rest of my kitchen stuff . and it be just the right size for two people . not for more people . get something else if you require a rice cooker for larger gathering . +712 RiceCooker POS 5 buy the rice cooker from Amazon Nov ,06 base on the excellent review . expensive rice cooker but it be nice look and it cook beautiful and tasty rice better than most of the restaurant !!! I be so happy that I go with the right choice ! +371 RiceCooker POS 4 I read some review before purchase this product . what concerned I be when other mention that the water spill over or bubble over onto counter top . but after use this product for a while , I do not know where those reviewer get that idea . it be never bubble over and I think the only reason why it will bubble over be if you put in too much water . and the hard crust will only form if you leave it on warm for a extended period of time . besides , the manual mention that there will be some crust formation so I take that as be forewarn . this be a great product and it do what it say it will do so I will recommend it to everyone . I have not use it for that long so I can not comment on the durability though . +226 RiceCooker POS 5 this appliance make perfect rice every time ... it be a joy to use .

Blah Blah Blah +10 RiceCooker POS 5 excellent . cook 3-1\/2 cup very well . sleek design look great permanently on the counter . bread-baking function be easy to use and decent . do not get it as it will not kill two bird with one stone . it make rice for 3 and bread adequately , you need a larger cooker for more than three and just about any bread maker -lrb- only bread -rrb- will blow its door off . it have a really heavy bowl that be easy to clean . price be a little high , $ 60 feel right . +200 RiceCooker POS 4 I like almost everything about the product , except the lid . if it be removable lid , it will be perfect . however , this rice cooker be work well . +869 RiceCooker POS 4 a lovely rice cooker with a decent price . it could be better if it come with different color to choose : -rrb- +891 RiceCooker POS 5 take it from someone who be a bachelor and make rice everyday use the 2 cup of water and one cup of rice method - boil water , add rice , turn down to simmer for 20 minute and perfect white rice ... so , along come a family and a quest to change thing up a bit and boom - I will never go back to cooking rice the old way -lrb- unless I be camping -rrb- . this rice cooker be fabulous . just a few note to pass along - if you have never wash you rice -lrb- I never do -rrb- , start do so - I use jasmine rice and simply add water to the measure scoop in the bowl , rinse lightly , pour almost all of the water out , then fill to just slightly over the line -lrb- I like a little more puffy rice -rrb- and just press the button . every time , every time , I open the lid once the finish melody play , I be a happy camper ! I read review and be happy with my final decision ... be go strong over a year now on this model . I would buy this again in a heartbeat . +767 RiceCooker NEG 1 I buy this model because of the `` titanium bowl , '' as I want to avoid teflon . it turn out , the bowl might be a teflon-titanium blend , it might be titanium with a teflon inner coating , it might be God know what . I have have the rice cooker for three year and yes , it have be great . until the bowl start flake , like any other teflon bowl . if you see gold spot inside you bowl , then it be flake and you have to throw it out . the problem ? there be no replacement bowl to buy . I have be on the phone with Sanyo and various part distributor all afternoon . the part -lrb- the inner bowl -rrb- have be back-ordered for 3 month and the part distributor have not be able to get any information from Sanyo . I find that strange , consider they be still manufacture this rice cooker !! so now , instead of spend $ 20 on a new bowl , I have to spend $ 100 + on a new rice cooker . do you think it be go to be another Sanyo ??? I do not . but what to do about the darned teflon bowl that they all have . I might have to get a stainless steel model , and suck it up on the cleanup . or maybe a Zojirushi , and I will just have to commit to buy a new bowl every year . at least you can buy a new bowl for those . +380 RiceCooker POS 4 I have only use it a few time - but I really like it . at first the rice be just a bit dry , but I add two tablespoon more water than usual and it come out just right . I be use plain , bulk , indian rice , long grain , no-rinse rice . I ignore the mark inside the pot ... I just add twice the water as I do rice -lrb- by volume -rrb- , plus 2 tablespoon water , and it be fine . I use the plastic measure cup that come with it to measure rice and water . I use my regular kitchen tablespoon measure to add the 2 extra dose of water . I have not try the other function , so I can not comment on they - it bake bread too , but I have not do it . it make much better rice than I have be able to do on the cookstove in a pot ! if you can afford it , buy it , as it make cooking easier . +491 RiceCooker NEG 1 I love rice cooker . this one be go to be a upgrade for I , but it break after 2 use . I dont know how you would clean the lid properly . I like to chuck all the bit in a dishwasher and do not get to do that with this one . look for another now . +585 RiceCooker NEG 1 aroma arc-150sb 20-cup Digital Rice Cooker and Food Steamer THIS RICE COOKER be a 10 CUP RICE COOKER . it be told to ME that it be a 20 cup cook RICE !! have ANYONE ACTUALLY measure cook RICE to ACTUALLY get 20 cup ??????? when you advertise for 20 cup you measure 20 cup of UNCOOKED RICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I make steel cut oats every morning and brown rice every night . I just set it at night and its ready for breakfast and then put brown rice in and set it for when I get home from work . I would highly recommend this rice cooker if you a rice `` expert '' and appreciate the taste and texture of well cook rice . BEST KITCHEN APPLIANCE EVER . +132 RiceCooker NEU 3 as a single person I loathe shopping for a rice cooker . after browse target and Bed Bath and Beyond I be sad because they seem to sell only huge rice cooker . Leftovers be good but one person do NOT need a 10 cup rice cooker . this be the perfect size for one , maybe two , people . it cook quickly , clean easily , and can steam vegetable or meat so you do not have to dirty two appliance for dinner . I have two gripe about it though . first one be the bowl sit on the heating element be hold down by the lid and food inside . sometimes if I lift the lid to stir , the bowl pop up and off the heating element and the switch go from cooking to keep warm . then you must reset it and risk burn the food if you be not watch . the second be that there be no cookbook or recipe in with the appliance . first appliance I have buy that do not at least have a handful of recipe in the instruction guide . you be leave to pretty much guess the time and amount for most of the cooking . +949 RiceCooker POS 5 I rarely have rice as a child and when I do , it be boil-in-a-bag or rice pilaf . well , my husband and he family eat rice every day . in fact , they do not consider it a meal unless there be a side of rice . they also have this tradition where they would scrape the burnt portion off the bottom of the rice cooker and divide it up evenly so that no rice be waste . needless to say , I be not a fan of this tradition . so I get rid of the $ 20 rice cooker and get this guy . and I be in love . I have make at least one batch of rice every day for a year and I have never have a burnt batch or mushy batch . it come out perfectly every time . I cook many type of rice : white , brown , black , basmatus , jasmine , short-grain , wild rice , etc. . it be suitable for all of these . my husband hate brown rice before this cooker and now he eat it several time a week . there be two negative , but I do not think they be bad enough to warrant fewer star : 1 . -rrb- for anything other than white rice , this be really a 2-cup rice cooker . 2 . -rrb- it do not make brown rice porridge at all . it make a great white rice porridge and even do well with half white\/half brown . but when I try to make brown rice porridge , all I get be some cook brown rice sit in a puddle of water . great rice cooker ! Worth every penny ! +2 RiceCooker POS 4 I have use this rice cooker for 2 year now . it be a good product except for the follow fault it do not have a transparent lid and can not see how the rice be cooking -lrb- not that it be a must but be good to have -rrb- starchy rice like Jasmine rice and extra long grain rice produce a whitish frothy residue which be difficult to clean off . it stick to the lid and the rim of the base . I kind of use a toothpick to remove it from the hard to reach area . I give it four star because of the above . +416 RiceCooker POS 5 I fill the slow cooker pot with water , let it run and then measure the temperature of the water . for slow cooking high , the temp be 205 . for slow cooking low , the temp be 185 . the warm mode temp be 140 . +739 RiceCooker NEG 1 use it just a few time ... turn to warm without complete cooking ... Dont buy this item ... +537 RiceCooker POS 4 we have be use a Oster Rice Maker that we receive as a wedding gift 10 year ago . we never really like it but do not want to spend a bunch of money on a nicer one . we finally break down after 10 year and purchase this one after read many , many review . it have many different setting and the keep warm setting work great . we old rice maker have 2 settings-cook or keep warm . on keep warm it always burn the rice-this one do not ! the rice be nice and fluffy hour later on the keep warm setting . this rice maker be very easy to use and cook rice perfectly . we have use it for both white rice and wild rice and it work great . I like the little musical announcement that the rice be do . my husband be very concerned about the size but he seem to like it now . -lrb- he always make way too much rice anyway , so I be glad this one have a reasonable limit . -rrb- we be a family of 4 and it work great for we , however I think that be about the max . if we have another family over for dinner , we probably could not serve rice . it take a very long time to cook so we could not just whip up another batch for we guest . if you have a large family or like to entertain , I would recommend the larger size for sure . that be the only reason I give 4 star . for the price , I would expect a much larger capacity . the size on the counter be nice though and it look pretty cool . I use to hide the rice maker in a closet and pull it out as need , but since this one be so darn cool look , I keep it out . plus it make we look rich since it be so ridiculously expensive !! ; - -rrb- overall , I be satisfy with this purchase , but only because I `` m sure we 'll use it for another 10 year and we eat rice fairly often , so it justify the price . now if I could just find a coffee maker that do not suck , my life would be complete ... +645 RiceCooker NEG 1 I buy this cooker a while ago from target . I have only have trouble from then . sticky liquid flow all over my counter after cooking leave a mess and bad smell . Cleaning be a mess as well . I could never clean this cooker to my satisfaction . I try Sona Masuri , Jasmine , Basmati etc. and same mess every time . +908 RiceCooker POS 5 I almost do not buy this because most of the recent review be bad . then I read they and it seem like most of they be bad because of the size . since I just want a rice cooker to make a small amount , not family size , this be perfect for what I need it for . I be so glad I do buy it . it be perfect . I use the cup that come with it to measure my rice and water , and it turn out perfect . as long as you realize that this be not a large rice cooker and be good for just 1 or 2 serving , you will not regret buy this . +235 RiceCooker NEG 2 do what it be suppose to do for 2 month , then it stop work . I do not think rice cooker be suppose to break so quickly , so I would not buy this one again . +452 RiceCooker NEG 2 I buy this Rice Cooker with the impression that it be a 3-cup rice cooker but it be NOT . this rice cooker look pretty much like a toy . it be cute and all that but it be no where near a 3 cup rice cooker . it be not even yield 3 cup of rice . it be probably good for college kid living in a dorm . work okay but for some reason , rice always rise more on one side so it look kinda funny . other than that , it be a cute workable toy . +771 RiceCooker POS 5 I be a neophyte rice maker . the ns-lac05 be essentially foolproof . the instruction manual require careful reading and some interpretation but be quite usable . I have have no problem at all and be very happy with the cooker . one word of caution . the term `` porridge '' do NOT refer to porridge as use in English but be a japanese rice porridge . the `` porridge '' setting be usable but the timing be off for oatmeal . +344 RiceCooker POS 5 after research rice maker in general and automatic one in particular , I settle on the Zojirushi . I may have be prejudice a bit since I have already own one of they bread maker for several year , I use it at least once a week and I be more than satisfy with it . my experience have lead I to both trust they product and have high expectation for they . that say , I have find the rice cooker to be excellent . it do just what it say it do . I have already make several batch of white rice , brown rice and rice porridge , all do to perfection . it be simple to use and easy to clean and with the retractable power cord it store neatly and easily ; it be handle make it easy to retrieve from the lower shelf where I keep it . the direction for use could be better ; they seem to have be translate by a computer rather than a human . the direction for they bread maker be clear and easily readable , so they be capable of do better for this product . +422 RiceCooker POS 5 this be we first Rice Cooker so I can not compare it with other product . Easy to use , easy to clean , 2 pot be usefull . only complain - the second pot be lesser quality -lrb- thiner -rrb- , but not like I notice performace difference . +415 RiceCooker POS 5 this be a great little home helper . do a fantastic job every time ! sit quietly in a very little space on the kitchen counter . and very easy to clean too ... +363 RiceCooker NEG 1 after review so many good review . I decide to give it a try . it cook very slow unless you use quick cooking . if you be use normal cooking , it take 40 minute to cook two cup of rice . the worst be that the non stick be peel off , i see some shinning spot on the bottom of the pot after several month , apparently i already eat some of non stick material . I be very careful of use the non stick rice cooker , always use the spoon they provide . it be bad and cheap teflon . +810 RiceCooker POS 5 not only do this do great rice easily , but it fill the pre-dinner house with a wonderful rice smell . it be worth the money , definitely . +144 RiceCooker POS 5 I receive this as a gift last Christmas , cook a lot of rice and asian dice at home . this device can also do bread , risotto , other grain such as quinoa , in addition to act as a slow-cooker . the include recipe book feature some great idea to get you start with contribution from Martin Yan , however another relative recently send I the follow which should keep I busy for a while . the Ultimate Rice Cooker cookbook : 250 No-Fail Recipes for Pilafs , Risottos , Polenta , Chilis , Soups , Porridges , Puddings , and more , from Start to finish in you Rice Cooker -lrb- Non -rrb- +207 RiceCooker POS 5 extremely cost effective ! I be go to purchase the name brand expensive version . take a chance on this Sanyo and be very pleasantly suprised . cook just like advertise , perfect rice everytime I have use it -lrb- almost every-other day now -rrb- . the program unit be easy to read and use , quick and flawless . I recommend look at this less expensive alternative before purchase other brand . nice cooker !! this be from a guy who hate -lrb- past tense -rrb- to cook because I be goof these dish up . no more ! very please with this . +365 RiceCooker POS 4 I recently buy this beautiful cooker . Rice be well cook , do not stick to the pot . make scoop and serve easy . only thing that i be not quite comfortable be that after the cooking mode it automatically go to warm mode , which can only be turn off by unplug the cable . +255 RiceCooker POS 5 I be not good at make rice anymore on the stove . I use to be good at make it in the microwave , but lately I have lose my touch . everyone i know have a big rice cooker and they rice come out perfectly every time . I think I would take a chance and buy one . the review be pretty good overall and the price be reasonable so I take a chance and buy this one . I have use it a number of time and it make perfect rice every time . I try to use it as a steamer with the plastic insert , but I forget that pea fall through the opening , so they turn out boil instead . all the same , it work very well for rice . we do not eat rice every night so maybe that be why I be please with it . Works for my family . +149 RiceCooker NEG 2 I have purchase two of these cooker . when they work , they be so convenient - perfect for small batch of rice , oatmeal -lrb- do not use milk - it will bubble up and make a mess -rrb- , quinoa , etc. . only problem , they just do not last very long . the first one I have only last for a couple of batch and the second one last a couple of month . I keep buy they because they be the only small rice cooker that I have find on Amazon , and the price be reasonable . as long as Amazon keep take my return , I guess I 'll keep buy this cooker even though it be a bit of a hassle when they stop work . +578 RiceCooker POS 5 the rice cooker have turn out good cook rice twice . it be easy to clean , store , and use . it be cute . +820 RiceCooker POS 5 light weigh and compact thus , easy to store . usually I use it to make two or three cup in one shot . Rice taste delicious , nothing stick , and it be as fast as promise . love the additional accessory -lrb- i.e. rice spoon and steamer -rrb- . steamed vegetable come out very soft and the taste be well preserve . I really think the key to successful use of this product , just as with all other electronics be follow the instruction . +173 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy this rice cooker in order to try a rice cooker . I would hear that if you want to cook rice , this be the way to do it . for the price , I feel I could try it . I will never cook rice in anything but a rice cooker again . in fact , I would love to get one that cook larger portion as the 3-cup be not large enough for my family . have you ever try to cook brown rice ? it be almost impossible , and take at least two hour on the stove in order to get right . with the rice cooker , it be a quarter the time , and come out perfect ! there be still slight difference between brown and white rice once cook , but no longer be I plague with a hard lump of brown rice . in the rice cooker , it come out nice , fluffy , and delicious . Eating healthier be no longer a chore or a discomfort . I have also cook quinoa in the rice cooker . it also come out perfect - fluffy and delicious , with little work from I ! sometimes my husband stay at work longer than intend . dinner will be ready anywhere from a half hour to a hour and a half before he get home . I have not try longer , but even with that long , if you keep the cooker on the warm setting and keep the lid on , it remain just as if it finish cooking . it do not dry out . there be no need to cook more rice for he . +529 RiceCooker POS 4 I have never own a rice cooker before this , however , I have cook lot of rice over the year . its a inexpensive rice cooker and if you follow the direction , it 'll do fine . since move to the mountain of Colorado , its take I year to adjust to the lower the boiling point due to the higher elevation -lrb- 8300 ' -rrb- ... it take more time -lrb- add ~ 10-20min -rrb- and the dry climate mean use more water -lrb- for a 1 cup of dry rice , take ~ 2.5 + cup water rather than 2cup -rrb- . still , there have be many time when rice just do not work out the way I want . so I mention that it would be nice to have a rice cooker and let it deal with the cook time . of course I have do some research , and when this come in the mail as a present , I be a little nervous since Oster 's seem to get so-so review . well , I cook my typical basmatus rice , a 1\/2 cup dry and add my typical 1c water plus extra , put lid on , press the button and go to do something else . a lot of reviewer mention how the rice on the bottom get over-cooked , sometimes brown or burnt . some reviewer like the crunchiness , some hate it . well , the direction tell you to stir the rice - especially the bottom of the cooker after 15 minute . sure enough , the rice at the bottom be start to stick . I scrape it all loose , add another 1\/4 cup water , chop it up a little , put the lid on , and let fate take its course . would the rice by a burnt mess ? 20 minute later we have the best sticky rice we have ever have ! plus it seem to cook faster . and I really like that it go to ` warm ' mode automatically . one major drawback : it spew hot sticky water up under the lid and through the vent all over the kitchen but once we wipe the lid off -lrb- without pick up the lid -rrb- , it settle down . if you be a neat freak or want a set-and-forgot , this rice cooker be not for you . and for I , I 'll come up with a little steam catcher helmet and deal with the mess . for the price , its a good buy . and , I love the red color too ! -lrb- find this cool tip from Spyce : to help keep the starch from bubble up and spray out of the vent hole , rinse the rice thoroughly and drain . heat a small amount of olive oil in the rice bowl , once the oil be heat , carefully add the rice and saute it for 3 to 4 minute . add the water and continue cooking . -rrb- I be go to try this tip next time !

I have a semus wide foot that the Tango 's suit well and the Santa Cruz 's be slightly narrower sandal . Edge to the Tango Style : of course very subjective , but I give the edge to the Santa Cruz . the boat shoe like style be too my liking . comfort : this be a major category for I . im in sandal almost every day year round . from walk all day in they to fishing in they , Im just a sandal guy . the only time I wear shoe be at work . the Tango have a cushier insole and more arch support then the Santa Cruz . the Tango 's strap be also slightly more comfortable . the initial break-in of the Santa Cruz 's lead to irritated skin along the strap . the Tango 's strap be of a softer material , while the Santa Cruz be tougher . walk extended period of time they be about the same , my foot never get fatigue in either . Durability\/Functionality : one of the main reason I get away from the Tango 's be the poor wet performance due to its fabric insole . it would become water log and mushy to walk in . it also be harder to clean for the same reason . the Santa Cruz , with it be rubber insole , do not have this problem , yet still be comfortable and supportive . second reason for move away from the Tango 's be that both pair I have the thing portion of the strap pull out the sole . not the whole thing , just the fabric overlay . they still function but look silly . the sole of the Tango be thicker , hence would keep you foot dry when step in puddle and such , almost like a sole of a trail shoe . the Santa Cruz be not as thick and its tread be not near as aggressive for release mud\/debris . overall , if I do not need a sandal that could perform while wet , I would of stay with the Tango 's . however , the Santa Cruz offer similar comfort with increase functionality , but have it be drawback as well . +8 Sandal NEG 2 the sandal be good for the normal male 's foot . my son have a very thick foot and the toe thong and the strap be very , very tight . +61 Sandal POS 4 I do not have a terrible lot of experience with hiking shoe , so I can only give my impression . I purchase this product mainly because walk my dog in my running shoe be kill my ankle -lrb- they be great for jogging but have almost no support in the heel -rrb- and I need something with more cushion all around for endurance . the Newport h2 's have fill that position excellently . they have fantastic support , and Ollie and I can walk for hour without any pain . my leg will start to hurt before my foot do . my only qualm , and this might well be intentional on the maker 's part , be that the pad inside it on which you foot sit will start to stick to you sole as they sweat . although this serve to keep the shoe in place and prevent shift somewhat , the feeling be a little odd and take some get use to . otherwise , I have no complaint . I have be able to give my dog the exercise he need , and anyone who own a Jack Russell terrier will know that have be absolutely crucial to both we sanity . great job , Keen . I like you shoe . +718 Sandal POS 5 I like the Birkiflor material -- much more than I expect ! I have worn birkenstock for year -- nothing make you foot feel better ! +9 Sandal POS 4 I order these sandal online from Amazon , and while I do not usually shop for shoe online because of the size and have to try it out first , it be a winner . the size be perfect and the fit be very comfortable . the only reason I give it 4 star be because the price be a little high ... a hundred buck for sandal that will take some beating in walk , water ... etc. . still , they look great and fit great . +79 Sandal POS 5 I agree with other review that the h2 be comparatively better than the Tevas I be replace . Funk be not a big issue because these be so easy to clean . my only problem -lrb- not a big problem -rrb- be that the design tend to hold sand , stone , and other particle in the shoe more than other more open sandal . again , they be easy to clean , and the capped toe be great for outdoors protection -lrb- walking in whitewater , light climbing , biking , etc. -rrb- so the benefit outweigh the minor upkeep . +441 Sandal NEG 1 the high and very hard arch be not right for I . I would not recommend unless you can try it on in a store to see if it be right for you . +881 Sandal POS 5 well make and perfect fit ! finally find sandal in half size .

I buy these to replace a pair the dog chew through the one strap . I could not wait to get these in the mail and break they in . I wear they all the time even when it be 45 degree out . +605 Sandal POS 5 have a pair of keen myself which i love , i buy these shoe for my dad for he birthday . he wear they hike , around the house and do yardwork . he absolutely love they ! very durable and comfortable ! +542 Sandal POS 5 love my birkenstock sandal , my last one be at least 7 or 8 year old , and it be time to buy new one . my old one be still around but now these be my go to sandal . +7 Sandal POS 4 all of these positive review lead I to believe that many of they be fake . that be say I like these sandal . they have have cover for you toe so you do not jam you they on anything , they have bumpy bottom for better grip , and they feel comfortable to walk in . the one thing that I do not like about these sandal be there be only one strap ! even when I tighten the strap all the way they feel loose if I do not wear a double pair of sock with they . I think I buy a size too big but the lack of extra strap for a tighter fit be a bad idea . I be return these but I may buy a smaller size in the future . +285 Sandal POS 5 this be my second pair of ` bo . no sandal in the world like 'em . you will never know till you wear they . supplier be quick to deliver and as state in the listing . +225 Sandal POS 4 I love the comfort of birkenstock shoe . these have not disappointed I .

I be a bit reluctant to spend this much money on sandal , but my girlfriend show I she pair that she be have for about 6 year . my old flip-flop would break or wear out in a about 2 - 3 month . a quick word of warning : break they in slowly . I wear they on a epic , all-day shopping trip the first time and I get a sore on the top of my foot , where the strap be . it take a couple of week for the sandal to form to you foot . wear they too much in the beginning will just be painful . enjoy the best sandal that you 'll ever own . +763 Sandal NEG 1 I read all the review . I know there be a extended break in period on these . but I order these the same time as some reef and the reef fit instantly out of the box . the strap on these be super tight and even wear around the house be uncomfortable . so I return they . . be $ 59 make the decision easier to return as well . oh and they there be no free return shipping from these guy . . I have to pay $ 10 to ship myself . +137 Sandal POS 5 Got these for my boyfriend & he absolutely love they ! comfortable , sturdy , and great for hike around Red Rocks . +670 Sandal NEU 3 keen have add a new ridge under the toe that be rather uncomfortable .

I have never have a problem with correct width size with Tevas , Reefs , or Rafters -- but I have with the Rainbows ... +467 Sandal POS 4 these be awesome !! they be the only kind of slipper that I can wear because I need the massage bed . however , as much as possible do not get these wet as the massage nob seem to break off sooner if the slipper get wet . +922 Sandal POS 5 I be not foolish enough to think I will lose weight wear these shoe -lrb- although the be the heaviest tennis shoe I have ever worn -rrb- . that say , these be the finest sneaker I have ever use . I be retire and have a part time job that require I to stay on my foot for four hour at a time . always , I have have foot pain . I have try several different brand , orthotic , Dr. Sholl 's , wedges-no help . these make all the difference in the world . I be buy more ! +153 Sandal POS 4 I find the exact sandal my grandson wish for he birthday . I order the size and color -lrb- Sierra Brown -rrb- and await the delivery . when I receive the package , to my dismay they have send the wrong color -lrb- sand -rrb- ! so much for quality control . not have time to return and reship , I give they to he even though the color be not what I order . so , just beware you may not get what you order ! +479 Sandal POS 5 hand down these be the best sandal I have ever own . fast shipping from amazon . just know that you have to break these in before the become rad . +56 Sandal POS 5 these shoe be no longer available in store . when I recently go on the timberland website , I find out that they no longer make this shoe . the only one available appear to be whatever be leave in the Amazon.com seller ' stock . I buy a pair of these about 5 year ago at Dillards , and they be the most comfortable shoe I have ever own until I finally wear they out . I just get a new pair and use mink oil to soften they up . it work great . +59 Sandal POS 5 by far , the best thing I ever put on my foot . bought my first pair over four year ago and my cat immediately decide they be the enemy . he leave some pretty deep tooth mark on the side of the sole . no big deal , I think , because like most thong sandal they probably will not last that long . four year later , I be still explain why `` those sandal you wear constantly '' have feline inflict battle wound . if those sandal be a truck , they would have make it 750,000 mile before crump . do I forget to mention they be comfortable ? Ohhhh , yeah . bottom line - buy they , you 'll like they . PS - I have a new , much more sane cat who be live with my new pair of Sperry sandal in peace . now if he would just quit sharpen he claw on my leather furniture ... +284 Sandal POS 5 I have 4-5 pair of Birks because of my foot . my doctor say he could send I to a speciatist or I could buy a pair of birk I opt for the Birks ! they be comfortable ! I like to get the Birks with the better footbed and this be one of those pair . enjoy and happy foot ! +889 Sandal POS 5 I give these to my son last week for a birthday present . this be he second pr . the first pair last 7 summer . he like the removable strap and find they very comfortable . he be please with the fit -lrb- wear 10.5 and I get size 11 since they do not have he exact size . thank you Amazon for another great bargain ! +736 Sandal POS 5 I have have this shoe for a couple of month and have be use it this summer in the humid east coast , desert of New Mexico , and tropics of Hawaii . it be a great sandal and alternative to regular shoe if you know the caveat . this be my opinion : SIZING : I normally wear 9.5 W shoe . keen be fit to be snug with no sloppiness of a traditional sandal . I buy first a 9.5 then as a backup a 10 because I do not want the hassel of return it . I think at first the 9.5 be too snug . I be wrong . after a month of break in , the shoe fit like a glove . my recommendation however be , if you want a sandal to replace a hike shoe and you plan to be very active with it , buy you regular shoe size and let it break in and mold to you foot . my toe be very close to the end of the shoe but not touch . I think I would be jam my toe after awhile . that never happen . the shoe be snug and my foot do not move around . if on the other hand , you want a more traditional , casual , looser fitting sandal for walk around the mall but a closed toe to prevent the occasional toe jam , buy a half size up . close toe : I be not use to it in a sandal . at first I think the snug fit would start to bug I because I can occasionally feel the top of my toe touch the top of the shoe . it have not . as you break in the shoe you toe get a smidgen more room , but not sloppy more room . temperature : this sandal be more like a hike shoe with a lot of ventilation slit . you foot be very well cover and protect with this sandal . however , this make you foot warmer than most sandal and perspire more , hence the comment of foot odor over a period of time . still cooler than a hike shoe but warmer than the open toe sandal . this sandal be useable in cooler season like early spring and late fall know it could keep you foot warmer than other sandal type . protection : can climb and walk on nearly any terrain with confidence . only real caution be climb volcanic rock and jam you foot into crevasse . the sandal still expose some of you skin . debris : Dirt , sand , twig , seed , etc. that get in the sandal stay there until you take off you sandal . walk into a fast move stream can clear it out without take it off . WASHABLE : all synthetic and no leather so I have wash they with no concern . do dry slower than most , so if you wash they at night and want they dry in the morning , put they under a fan at low setting overnight to dry it out . I have not yet put they in the dryer , but seem at low temperature it should be ok . look : kinda look like I go to Spiderman to make I a pair of sandal . it have that very busy , webbing , stringy look . wife 's immediate first reaction be : `` that be really ugly ! '' I probably will not wear these to any wedding in the near future . however she be get use to they . besides , attractive sandal will not be on my mind when I be suffer from a painful or cut-up foot ... FYI I have a nice pair of leather Ecco sandal for casual social event ... but those will never see a intentional salt water immersion no matter what Ecco 's ad say . OVERALL : these be a extremely comfortable , all purpose sandal if you only want to bring along one pair of shoe to hike , slog in mud , run , dive into the surf , climb rock , traverse a stream , or just walk around the mall and to be able to just wash they out at night and start anew in the morning . +697 Sandal POS 5 these be my favorite sandal of all time . I get the double layer sandal and they support my foot very well . they may be a bit uncomfortable to break in the beginning but after it mold you foot perfectly . I recommend buy a pair or two . +904 Sandal POS 4 good sandal and comfortable to where in the water , but the closed toe be much warmer than you might expect . they be great if you need you for to be a bit more protected than a standard sandal , but I be look for a more open version that breathe a bit better . +549 Sandal NEG 1 I bough these as a gift , but be surprise when the recipient mention a uncomfortable lump in the sole of the left shoe . this be something I might expect in the $ 15 wal-mart shoe , but not in this shoe which retail for $ 95 . +814 Sandal NEU 3 Newport H2 full Sandal - Mens the first pair I get be awesome right out the box . I wear they all the time . so I decide to purchase a second pair . same size different color . they do not even feel close to the other one . I be wear a pair of sock with they try to get they break in . seem that Keen be not consistent with they sizing . Hope they start feel good soon or they 'll end up in my wife 's annual yard sale . +835 Sandal POS 5 keen be awesome sandal , I have `` Colombia Sport '' and `` Margarita ville '' before and I feel keen be by far way superior and comfortable . on the weekend I wear they for a longer period of time like 6-8 hr at a stretch , but they be very comfortable and the fit be exceptional and they be water proof : -rrb- +513 Sandal POS 5 I love these sandal and I wear they every day . even around the house , they be nice to wear . I would buy again in the future . 5 Stars . +401 Sandal POS 4 I buy the black because they be on sale . here be a couple of observation , after wear they in and out of the water , on foot and while ride a bicycle : they be comfortable and light , without compromise support and because the toe be close , they actually provide buoyancy in the water - great if you be just float around , but it do make for some awkward swimming . though they be completely waterproof , they do take a very long time to dry out . however , they be not uncomfortable to wear while wet . it look like they will hold up for a long time and overall , I would recommend they . +436 Sandal POS 5 I have be absolutely delighted with these shoe in every way . I be go to get another pair to have in reserve when these wear out but Amazon be out of stock right now & price be much higher elsewhere . timberland have go to the top of my list for preferred brand of footwear ! update 12\/19\/2012 I have have the first pair for about 3 month now and they be the most comfortable shoe I have have in my entire life .

I be throw they away . uncomfortable . +102 Sandal POS 4 I bring a pair of Rainbow flip flop during college and it have be great so far -lrb- 2 year -rrb- . these flip flop will be hard to wear for the first 2 week or so , but eventually they will adjust to you foot and become incredibly comfortable . think of it as a high heel for man . one thing I would recommend be to know your size . I order a 9\/10 and it be too small for I , I have to return it and exchange for a new one . it be a hassle , and I lose a additional 5 buck due to shipping , but it be my fault for not order the right size in the first place . in the end , this sandal have be nothing but satisfaction . +778 Sandal NEG 1 do not by this product . five day after I buy it , I go to my friend house and leave it outside under the sun for about 2 hour -lrb- about 90 degree -rrb- . it melt and deform . it be a bad product from Adidas .

I be afraid they would ship the wrong size -lrb- per other customer 's feedback -rrb- or that I would not like the design . I could not be happier ! the sandal arrive relatively quick , just a couple of day from the purchase date . I receive the right size and I love the design . +115 Sandal POS 5 this be my second pair of the Clark 's Hudson sandal . my first pair which I purchase on vacation at a shop be not three year old and wear very well - not close to wear out . I recently realize that I be wear they most of the time and know I would need a new pair soon - for look if not for condition . I search online seller and Gabriel Shoes\/Amazon have the best price . ship be quick . the sandal have minor cosmetic difference than my older pair and be very attractive .

I have two friend who both have wear the same pair of Keens for the past 5 year and they both feel they 'll probably get another year or so out of they . only reason I do not give they 5 star be because they be a bit of work to get they on . I have to use both the front and back loop , so both hand , to get they on . +777 Sandal POS 5 very comfortable sandal - the best I have ever own . hold up well +151 Sandal POS 5 I have be wear these for year , I will not buy any other brand of sandal . either these or some other variation of Rainbow brand hemp sandal . the natural colorway get too dirty , and the black one do not look as nice . these brown hemp sandal look great , and be easy to clean . the biggest advantage of hemp to the leather Rainbow sandal , I think be way less \* smell \* after wear they for a long period of time . there be hardly any at all . I will keep buy these , wear they out -lrb- take forever -rrb- , and buy they again . until one of we , that be , the sandal or I - be not around anymore . +286 Sandal POS 5 while the hemp rainbow do not seem to last as long as they leather version , these be super comfortable and do not develop that terrible sandal smell as fast as my leather Rainbows do . I have have my hemp sandal for about 2 year , and they be just now become unwearable . I have only buy my rainbow from the manufacturer , which be a tad more expensive but you get a warranty along the line of - if the layer separate or the strap break before the bottom wear through we 'll send you a new pair . if you look at the size chart on the Rainbows site it might clear up any size issue , all of the women size taper toward the heel , if you do not like the tapered look I would suggest buy they men sandal , which I have buy before , they be quite a bit wider than the women style . I wear a women 10 1\/2 and I usually order the l10 size from they . all in all I have have fantastic luck with my rainbow . +712 Sandal POS 5 this be not the first pair I have own , I do love they , but this be the best price I have ever pay .

I would still recommend this footwear , as it be tough enough to hike in , and comfortable enough to get wet in . pro : - tough , rugged , versatile - stylish - great value -lrb- I pay $ 64 , retail for $ 80 -rrb- - size for all -lrb- I wear a 15 -rrb- - closed toe -lrb- no more stubby-stabby ! -rrb- - good tread for hike - Easy elastic and clamp tie con : - rough spot on the inside arch - size run about 1\/2 large +10 Sandal POS 5 have to buy 5 pair of Birks because of lower back pain ... have be wear nothing but my birk for the last 6 week my back be much better ... great shoe ... and the soft bed have no break in time ... . pricey ... but so worth the money ...

I be now a total Birkenstock convert +200 Sandal POS 5 this be the first pair of Birkenstocks I have own - and it will not be the last . the sort footb be appeal to I . I be advise -lrb- by a birkenstock lover -rrb- to start with short wear and increase the amount of time worn until my foot get use to the footbed . I wear they for about three hour the first time and I realize what my friend be talk about . it be too long . my arch hurt . she assure I I would get use to they if I start slow , add time to each wear - and then I could wear they all day without a problem . she be right .

Adidas have go downhill . +767 Sandal POS 5 it be well past time to replace my set of h2 sandal . quick search , quick order , and quick delivery be the hallmark of deal with this vendor . as a bonus , the company reuse a old keen box for packaging . while the box be gently use , the sandal be pristime - which be just fine with I . there be no need to stand on cememony with a sparkling box : just get I the sandal I need at a affordable price and on time . that be just what they do . +380 Sandal POS 5 just receive my second pair of Rainbow Eastcape sandal . I completely wear out my first pair . these be with out a doubt the most comfortable sandal I have ever own . initially think they be a little pricey for `` flip-flop '' but they be worth every penney . +491 Sandal POS 5 keen sandal shoe be great for everything . I already have a pair so we order these for my husband . he love they too . they be not you ordinary man 's sandal . they let you foot breath and the sole be make from non absorbent material which be sweat proof . they be good for hike and water activity as well as everyday wear . great product all around ! +585 Sandal POS 5 I have be tell by the recipient of this gift of Keen Newports that they be so comfortable and a pleasure to wear . I be attract to the look of they when I see they on a really great look guy at the Cincinnati Reds ballgame at the new stadium in Cincinnati on September 5 , 2007 . the tea\/black color , which be a cinnamon red\/wine , be AWESOME . the shoe be a cross between a gym shoe and a sandal , and have a rich classy look ... one that I particularly love . the person that I buy they for be a little bit leary of the bright color and the different look , but go out on that limb for I , and be ultimately happy to wear they . I love be different , do not you ... +849 Sandal POS 5 these keen newport sandal be my second pair , they be amazingly comfortable right out of the box . there be only minor wear to the first pair after 4 year of hard use and travel . a bargain at most any price . +132 Sandal POS 5 Rainbow make the best sandal and stand behind they product . this order be deliver quickly and exactly as order .

I be happy to report they be more comfortable than the regular footbed . my local shoe store do not carry this style so I go to the internet . they arrive quickly . while they fit , I think I would go with a 41 next time as that be a true US sz 10 . I order base on another pair of Arizona sandal I own . +2 Sandal POS 5 this be the second pair of these sandle that I have purchase . I wear the first pair almost everyday for close to five year . from just normal wear around the house , to camping in the mountain . I finally have to order a new pair because the sole finally wear through . +416 Sandal POS 5 this be my first birken actually , I use to think that they be too hard to wear and that I would hate they . well , give it 1 week so it fit perfectly you foot contour and I promise you will not take it off again . I spend my whole summer wear it all the time . it be very comfortable , it go with anything I be wear and it be very light in the foot . it be half a size larger actually , so keep that in mind when you order it ! all in all , I would buy it again ! +739 Sandal NEU 3 I buy a pair of these at a local shoe store last year and love them . I would wear they all the time if I could . I decide to order a back-up pair through Amazon \/ -lrb- ... -rrb- to have ready if mine ever die . I get the new pair , the size and style be marked correctly , but the leather instead of be dark brown be almost tan and they be too SMALL . they fit really really tight , while my first pair be a dream from the beginning . I wear a man 's 13 , so I be order the 14 to see if that fix it . -lrb- I go to a local shoestore and find the same size\/color problem with the 13 there . -rrb- it appear they have change something in the last year about how they manufacture they -- at least , the man 's larger size . if I be not have the size problem , I would give they 6 star ! +537 Sandal POS 5 these be fantastic sandal . the most comfortable I have ever worn . they be a little bit pricey but worth the money . they be very durable . I wear they everyday for a solid 4 month and they still look brand new . +645 Sandal POS 5 this be my son second pair and he have let I know how much he love they . the quality be great ! the last pair last 4 year ! +908 Sandal POS 5 I buy my first pair of Birk 's last year while experience some major foot problem . they be the basic one with the thick strap , the only style I could find in my size with the softer sole . this year my heel pain be go but I still need the great arch support of the Birk 's . I want to find a pair that be more stylish and look less clunky . these fit the bill perfectly . the break-in period be longer because they have the normal Birk sole . at first I think the strap across the top feel tight , but within a few wearing it stretch and be comfortable . +235 Sandal POS 5 I wear these every day , year around . I wear they to work , I wear they to do yard work . I wear they build a fence , to the beach , to town , to the movie , and to dinner . I simply wear they all the time . they be a bit pricey but they hold up and with how much I wear they I feel its worth it for I . they be a bit tight when you first get they but after you break they in they be super nice to wear . I really can not say enough about these , best sandal make . +452 Sandal NEG 2 these look NOTHING like the picture . they be long and narrow and look like they come from a dollar store . not worth the $ 33.00 +771 Sandal POS 4 I have not have my Keen Newport h2 sandal very long , but so far I be really impressed with the comfort . they fit my wide , size 13 foot very well . yes , you can wear they hike . I test they out on a trail that include asphalt , boardwalk , fine gravel and rock . the Keens do great and stay comfortable . I realize later that I be get a small heel blister , but I have not adjust the fit on that foot quite right - and I run a asphalt section of trail just to give they a good workout and they never feel uncomfortable . I can confirm what other reviewer have say - that when something get stick in they you pretty much have to take they off to get the debris out , and they be slippery on wet rock -lrb- the main reason I give they four star instead of five -rrb- , but overall they do great . I walk through a wet spring and they dry out quickly . I have not have they long enough to tell if there will be odor or durability issue , but so far I really like they and would consider other keen product . +344 Sandal POS 5 these sandal be wonderfully compfterble . they look great and to top it all this be a quality shoe . the soft footbed feel great and be defenetlly worth the extra cost . you should know that they run quite large and wide . one of my best purchese ! I reccomend highly . +422 Sandal POS 5 my son love these sandal just need to break they in then they fit like a glove +415 Sandal POS 5 Rainbow sandal be by far and away the best sandal in the world . this be my third pair to own in the last 5 year and the only reason I ever have to buy new one be cause I finally wear through the sole . I wear these sandal all day , every single day during the summer , and for we Texans , we summer be about 7 month long so I wear they a ton . in the past , I have have to `` break in '' the sandal because they be make from such sturdy leather , but with these Premier Leather one they be comfortable from day 1 . I will not ever buy another pair of sandal . +363 Sandal POS 5 if you have not own a pair before be aware you will probably have a break in period , but after a few wear these begin to form to you foot and instantly become fave . I have own the single layer and I have to say that the double layer really do make a difference in the arch support . if the strap break Rainbow will take 'em back as long as you have not wear into the next layer . I wear the guy sandal because I have wider foot and they fit just right ! +810 Sandal POS 5 imagine my surprise when I find the exact copy of my favorite -lrb- of the past twenty year -rrb- birkenstock sandal ... even with the same markings\/numbers !! they walk I to church , store , work - everywhere ... so comfortable and great look , too . thanks , Birkenstock and Amazon . +144 Sandal POS 5 I have extremely wide foot -lrb- I generally need a 5e -rrb- , and when these shoe come they be quite tight . I need they , and since I could cram my foot into they , I decide to take a chance and bring they along on a camping trip . the gamble pay off , because they loosen up enough that I be able to wear they reasonably comfortably . that be a good thing , because it pour rain off and on all week , and I would have be miserable with leather sandal . I have only have they for a couple of week , so I can not say how well they will hold up , but they seem fairly sturdy . they be a lightweight shoe , kind of like Crocs , but a bit more stylish in they shape . people I know who have get Crocs can wear they for several year , and the texture of the material these be make out of seem similar , so I expect they will last for as long . they do loosen up after they have be wear for a while , so do not be too worried if they seem tight when you first get they . if you can stand to wear they for a while , they will get more comfortable as you wear they . +207 Sandal POS 5 I have three pair of these sandal and never have a problem with they . they fit well for sandal and be washable in a washer . the toe protection come in handy whether it be kayake or just knock around in the backyard . the color choice be a add plus . no need for I to recommend they as they recommend themselves well . +365 Sandal POS 5 if I could have my foot re-done in any other material , they would be KEEN 's . whoever invent these be a genius . throw away you shoe . Trade they all in for Keen 's . I mean it . +255 Sandal NEG 2 for the first week of wear this sandal the center toe-holder -lrb- the one that fall between the big-toe and second toe -rrb- chafe and destroy my foot . it do not align my foot correctly along the sole so my heel would often hang over the inner side of it . my roommate tell I , `` oh yeah , the toe-holder wear in after a while and the alignment work itself out . '' I have be wear they now for about six month now , and they have improve to a degree . I definitely will not buy another pair of they . Summary : Overpriced , stylish , and uncomfortable . +149 Sandal NEG 1 Rainbow have the worse customer service . do not be fool by they warranty b . they be overprice and uncomfortable and require a long time to break-in . and by the time you break-in , they be all wear out and warranty be go . I rather buy some reef . +578 Sandal POS 4 I have order this pair of Birkenstock AZ soft footbed base on price . I never receive the order in the set time , so when I call Amazon customer service , Adam , be very helpful and re-ordered my sandal , ship they overnite . the only issue be that they be a different model and fit differently . I be very happy with the service I receive from Amazon , but next time I should have check to make sure it be the exact model I already have . I do not want the hassle of return they as I order will order the same model as the first time . +820 Sandal POS 5 I have lose all hope in rainbow sandle when I be try on the leather one -lrb- too narrow for I foot -rrb- ... that be until I see these baby ! I actually go to the outlet in San Clemente to try these on ! they be great , comfortable with a good sole and have that `` broken in feel '' within a matter of hour . they be also wide enough for wide foot . I agree with one of the post that they feel like reef but without the tacky gadget that reef have . these have a classy look to they as well . great buy , can not go wrong with these . +173 Sandal POS 5 two word : get it ! since I live in a tropical climate , sandal be a mainstay . I get my first pair a few year ago and they be my favorite . after see the brindle\/orion color go on sale , I buy a second pair . they be comfortable , particularly as a walk shoe . I have wear it on long hike as well as to to the beach . for walk , they have a nice arch support which be why they be good for long hikes\/walks . they be easily put on as well as take off . these will not be my last pair , for sure . +529 Sandal POS 4 this be my third pair of Birkenstocks . the other two fit perfectly . the soft footbed version be a bit smaller than expect . would not say that the softer footbed make that much of a difference for the extra cost . diff --git a/dev/Vacuum.txt b/dev/Vacuum.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..150ed541fa419be857fa2460ab6c26002fe78a37 --- /dev/null +++ b/dev/Vacuum.txt @@ -0,0 +1,100 @@ +852 Vacuum POS 5 I have two dog and lot of pet hair this vac pick up the hair with no problem . +760 Vacuum POS 5 I be expect it to be kind of worthless . but at worst I know the swiffer pad would sweep like the Mint but a lot cheaper because this one do not have that fancy navigation . on we hard wood floor it suck up dust , sand -lrb- volleyball court : -rrb- -rrb- , and cat hair efficiently -lrb- but skip the cat toy and ribbon -rrb- . in we 1250 sq. foot apartment it travel everywhere , get the little bit of cat litter outside the litterbox , and the dust bunny from under the chair and couch . definitely worth $ 44 . do not compare it to a $ 600 Roomba .

I have yet to be disappoint with the suction power of this vacuum , and can get it into most of the nook and cranny in my car . I be guilty of snack as I drive , especially when stick in traffic , and I be also a bit of a messy eater so there be almost always crumb and rogue cracker in my car .

I clean the car with this and I must say that be the first time this give I trouble . I have crumble bit of leaf in my trunk and on the floor of my car but it be not pick it up . I use the attachment with the brush at the end thinking that be most appropriate but apparently not . I decide to use the pet hair removal attachment instead -lrb- since I have never use it before -rrb- and that do the trick ! all the leaf , every little bit , be go ! the only thing I would improve be the battery charge light . perhaps make it change color when it be do charge ? I see other complain that it lose its charge too soon but I do not have that issue . I do my whole car -lrb- trunk , floor and seat -rrb- all without need a recharge and suction power be fine the whole time . I have have this for one month however so maybe as time progress it 'll lose more power . I 'll update my review if this be the case .

I 'll split this review in three section : Vacuum Power and Usability , Battery Life . Vacuum Power and Usability : this thing have a tremendous amount of suction power for be such a small device . some of the portable vacuum cleaner that I have use in the past cat get to those little space that you need to get clean . for instance , in my car , sometimes get to those little space between the seat and the center console be a pain . it be really easy with this guy because 1 -rrb- the design be great because the nozzle be narrow and can get to a lot of tight space . 2 -rrb- there be a lot of suction and even if you cant get right to the messy part , it will suck up all the small piece from afar ... kinda remind I of my Dyson upright 3 -rrb- the nozzle be detachable - a first I have ever see for a portable vacuum ... REALLY COOL and USEFUL feature ! I do not really care too much for the handle while vacuum , but I do appreciate it while I be carry from my home to my house . inherently I really love how this thing be so portable ! I would say it weight as much as a 6-pack of soda and it fold up pretty nicely . the vacuum come with a couple of attachment that can not attach to the unit -lrb- which I do not really like but it be acceptable -rrb- but I really have not find a good use for they that the main attachment can not do . one thing I really love about the main attachment -lrb- that be not show in any of the picture -rrb- be that the brush can fold back for increase suction . I find the dust container to be really cool , but a little hard to empty . the filter be really nice because there be a mesh filter on top of the real filter that keep big clump of dust away from the real filter so it do not as bad as fast . the filter still look like new in mine . Battery Life : the reason that this thing lose a star be for a couple of reason relate to the battery . First of all , the vacuum lose suction after about 5-6 minute of continuous use . I be able to vacuum my whole car -lrb- since you really do not use the vacuum continuously in real life -rrb- in one shot , but I really feel for a unit as big as this one , the battery should last a little longer . secondly , I do not like how the charger be just a plug into the back of the vacuum . I think it would be nice to have a docking base unit for it . other than a few minor issue -lrb- battery life aside -rrb- , I really love this thing . I be not super excite about it until I find all the `` little '' thing that make this vacuum so cool ! I personally just keep this thing near my car and clean up whenever I need to ! I totally recommend this product and hope that you like it as much as I do ! +434 Vacuum NEG 1 dissatisfy with power . send back . give to I by husband as a gift for new car , do not pick up pet hair on seat . buy rubber brush , and go back to my small shop vacuum . +216 Vacuum POS 5 I have own this vacuum for 6 week now and continue to be impress with how well it clean . we live in the high plain where there be alot of dust and have two dog who drop lot of dog hair . I purchase my vac with the standard sb217 power brush and also purchase the wider , sb228 power brush . the sb217 work well on med to low pile carpet and be the perfect width for do stair tread . for thicker carpet , opt for the 5 position height adjustment of Miele 's other power brush . my previous vacuum be a Dyson dc7 . this one be much quieter . in fact on the min set you hardly know it be on . we be able to vacuum the dog because the noise be low enough that it do not bother they . the agitator brush on the Miele do a great job loosen debris from the carpet fiber . I be still pick up dirt and sand that the Dyson leave behind . the parquet floor brush work great on the hard floor . it do such a good job pick up the grit , the floor feel like it be just mop . pro : Terrific cleaning on carpet and hard surface quiet adjustable power setting for various surface Bag & HEPA filter trap 99.7 % of everything down to .3 micron - no dusty vacuum odor Cons Power cord be shorter than I be use to Ergo handle be awkward when use the hand tool +660 Vacuum NEG 1 this be the 5th vacuum I have ever own in my life . I have have it for 5 month now and absolutely can not stand it . it emit a high pitched shrill when in operation and be exremely loud . it give I a headache listen to it . it be annoy that it always switch into bare floor mode when upright . every single time I use it , I have to lean down and change it off bare floor to carpet . the release latch be difficult to engage & I can not do it just by a simple step on it . I have to lean down & pry it open with my hand . the power button be not conveniently located . it be on the main shaft , require the user to lean way down to turn it on rather than it be a simple flick from the handle . I also do not like the `` power paw '' attachment located on the very front top . it be constantly get knock off . I have not notice that be do any particular better cleaning than any other machine I have own . I definitely would not have purchase it if I have try it out in a store before-hand rather than get it on line . +707 Vacuum POS 4 so far so good but it be a bit heavy . I have a 1600 sq ft house and it take a little bit to sweep all the room so after a few minute it get pretty heavy . also the cord be a bit too short +951 Vacuum POS 5 I have own this for 6 month and it have work great so far . it be easy to put together and have clean very well so far . it have a pretty long cord on it also since i can vacuum my one bedroom apartment without ever unplug it . since i have only have it for 6 month i can not testify to its longevity but the initial quality be very good , especially for the price as i only pay 79.99 for it . the turbo brush be awesome . I have two dog and it seem to be pick up the pet hair pretty good . so far i really like it . +605 Vacuum POS 5 Great pick up , easy to use , buy both my son one ! May buy another for myself , work great ! good buy ! +542 Vacuum POS 5 I love this little vacuum ! I work in a nursing home and we have a couple of they and we maintenance and housekeeping staff use they to clean in the little crack in doorway and such . for such a little vacuum , I think the price be a little high , but be a commercial Hoover product and because the one at my work be definitely older model and still work great , I expect to get year of good use out of this little vacuum . the only problem I have encounter thus far be that I can not attach my miniature detail attachment to the hose , but I be go to rig up a adapter with some pvc pipe to fix that . other than that , I be highly satisfied and highly recommend ! +7 Vacuum POS 5 after use this vacuum for over 6 month , I would definitely recommend this item . I have no problem run the unit for 15 minute without the power get low . suction be very strong . the noise level be comparable to a handheld DustBuster and clean out the vacuum be a similar mess also . we use this vacuum for daily cleaning of the kitchen eating area . the space be too big to cover with a handheld unit . but the cleaning require do not seem worthy of drag the cord vacuum out and wind and unwind the power cord . the recharge stand be also convenient for store this unit . +285 Vacuum POS 5 I buy a Dyson Ball from HSN , that last close to a month in my power . I own all kind of vacuum cleaner , until as last resort I buy this one . let 's be real , not everything that cost hundred of dollar have to be good . tha 's what I tought but , NO. . I pay $ 79.99 and be the best vacuum cleaner ever !! I use it everyday , still work as the first day , be not heavy , have light , I can pick dust from wall and curtain , the sofa !! , it have a long cord , stair attachment , and many more . the setting for the floor be the best . Hardwood floor and carpet . I love it !! +225 Vacuum NEU 3 FIRST TIME BUYING A EUREKA PRODUCT , I have always have HOOVER VACUUMS . I like the VACUUM EXCEPT for one bad feature , it be WAY to LOUD \/ NOISEY . +470 Vacuum POS 5 mom need a lightweight vac to use on stair . I be leary of purchase a cordless vac , think battery would not last long enough . well , mom just love it . it be light enough and the charge last even longer than need to completely vacuum the staircase . also , the suction be good . +763 Vacuum POS 5 I have a B&D; PHV1800 for what seem like a couple of year now and it still perform flawlessly . even still hold a good charge although I think the battery be just begin to show it be age . contrary to many review on this and the fhv1200 , these both do exactly what I expect they to do ... be there and work when I need they to pick up dust ball , and other small job around the house . they be not design to be whole house or even whole room vacuum . Run they for a few minute and put they back on the charge for the next use . they be not shop vac . it be unfortunate that B&D; find it necessary to force we to buy a new probuct and not be able to replace the battery for less than the cost of a new vac -lrb- on Amazon -rrb- . what company do not realize when they do this be that they open up the door for we to look at other product . there go what may have be a loyal customer . the fhv1200 be just what I have be look for to supplement the 1800 . it be perfect for desktop , hobby area cleanup . I have a lot of tech equipment clutter my desk -lrb- actually it be bigger than a desktop -rrb- which I can not move or get around with the standard hand vac -lrb- even the 1800 -rrb- . this one with the flex hose be more than perfect . it be great for clean around the equipment as well as clean those keyboard , dusty equipment air vent , etc. . just be sure all you key be secure or this vac will suck they and anything else that might be loose in to its innards . bottom line ... it be a great product and do more than I expect it to do . one last point . clean the filter . a prior reviewer be upset at the difficulty of clean the pleated filter . I agree that if you do not figure out how to clean it , you might not get everything out of it . here be how I do it . once you have open the compartment and remove the plastic shield and carefully remove the filter take it to a trash can . best use you big one . hold the filter loosely with you thumb inside and the remainder of you finger loosely hold the outside , start tap the filter against the inside of the trash can . as you can see , the open end be up . as you tap , rotate the filter so you wind up tap every area of the filter . you will learn that you can tap it pretty good without damage it . the key be to never hold it tight . you will damage it . keep do this until it be free of all material . if you be persistent , you will completely clean the filter -lrb- unless you be try to pick up anything other than dry material . if you be try to use this as a wet-dry vac , all bet be off . -rrb- +137 Vacuum POS 5 I have no idea this thing be go to be so small . I probably should have look at the `` detailer '' hand vacuum . just be aware that this be not for any medium - large area . this be good for clean off you desk , keyboard , or small nook and cranny . not for anything major . overall , good for what it do however . Easy to use . +670 Vacuum NEG 1 these do not fit the machine . I be about to order they even though the image of the bag be suspicious ; but then read the review and find out they be substitute masquerade as Bosch bag ; I do not want to waste my time with these . imagine try to send they back . Ugh . +299 Vacuum POS 5 love the Eureka right out of the box . IMO my Dyson never clean as well as the Eureka . clean up all kind of dust that the Dyson could not where the carpet meet the wall . ca not justify ever spend that much on a vacuum again . guess we 'll be sell my Dyson for part ! +925 Vacuum POS 4 vacuum work great , push easily , and fold down quite flat for get under furniture . the only negative be that the hose be too short . it be state to be 6 ft , but be really more like 4 . I solve this issue by buy the deluxe attachment kit which come with a ridiculously long hose -lrb- 15ft -rrb- . although it be somewhat obnoxious , I love it because I can vacuum all corner and ceiling of a room without move the vacuum . the attachment kit cost I ~ $ 50 , luckily I get a clearance deal on the vacuum to make this worthwhile . +467 Vacuum POS 4 this vacuum have great suction and I love that all of the attachment have a place on board make it easy to switch out tool for multiple surface . while it be heavy and not make of the highest quality plastic , it work much better than my previous vacuum that cost twice as much . for I , it could have a longer hose and longer cord , but for the price it work well . +922 Vacuum POS 5 UPDATE : see comment below ... motor go bad after one year of use . we get this vacuum before Christmas and start use it right away . my wife and I be very please with this vacuum . it be super easy to empty -lrb- bagless -rrb- , and it be also easy to remove and wash the few part that get dirty , and to remove and wash the foam filter . it have a lot of power and have just the right number of attachment . the hose be not very long , but that be not a problem for we . when use the hose , if you pull it too far you can tip over the vacuum , but again , this be really not a problem . once you get use to it , no big deal . if you be on you hand and knee use the hose , you just position you body to brace the vacuum if you need to pull the hose farther than normal . in we home , we often have to clean up dry cat vomit -lrb- ewww -rrb- , and the hose\/nozzle do a good job at that . also , we have a natural fireplace , so we always have firewood debris in the house . this vac suck up most in upright mode , and the hose do the rest . no trouble . we have mostly carpeting , so I really do not know how good this vac will be on hard floor . it do have a adjustment for floor\/carpet height like most vac . this be the first Bissell we have own -lrb- we be former Eureka and Panasonic owner -rrb- . for the $ 80-ish price -lrb- free shipping with Amazon -rrb- , it be a best buy in we book . the leading consumer magazine also rate it well . we go to a local Sears store to try out this model in the store before buy it for a better price -lrb- and no sale tax -rrb- via Amazon . the vacuum be not too heavy , and the cord and attachment all stay on the machine when not in use . we recommend this vacuum . +153 Vacuum POS 5 the vacuum arrive quickly and in great condition . it be easy to assemble and do a wonderful job of cleaning - have use on carpet , hardwood floor , vinyl , and ceramic tile floor with great result . while a bit heavy when carry up and down step , I be very pleased ! +479 Vacuum POS 4 so far , so good ... never have one before so it look good for a beginner ! a little big and heavy , , but low noise and easy to use +56 Vacuum NEG 1 I choose Bissell base on my friend 's recommendation and after read the positive review on this particulare model . even though there be negative review , I fool myself into ignore they and I regret the moment I turn it on . 1 -rrb- the unit be very noisy compare to the Electrolux or Samsung that I have use before and sound more like a commercial Grade vacumn cleaner . 2 -rrb- the unit also fail to pick up dust effectively from the wooden hard floor , though the hose attachment do a better job do that . 3 -rrb- the design of the unit would not let I reach under sofa and bed properly due to the bulk , and the hose attachment be too short and small to pick up dust properly . Though cheap , I decide to return it as soon as I could . +59 Vacuum NEG 1 battery life be horrible . . I be not sure what the folk that like it be use it for . . the filter seem to clog really easily and I can hardly get mine to pick up a piece of popcorn , its pretty useless . . the Eureka hand hold vacuum 71b be a bizzilion time better . . its get a cord but its really long . +284 Vacuum POS 5 ten day in . last week , my wife on the other end of the phone say `` I do not like it , it be too hard to push on the carpet '' -lrb- she first use -rrb- . `` what ! '' I think , four figure lighter in my wallet and she do not like it . I get home after work and the machine be close by in the basement . I pick up the handle with the carpet head and try it . the head glide over the carpet with no resistance , `` it feel ok I say '' . `` you have to turn it on '' , she say . I reply something like `` ok , you mean because you now have a vacuum cleaner that actually suck hard enough to give some resistance , you do not like it ! '' she must have though about this because lately she have comment on how quiet it be and how it do the furniture so well , she be not go to give it up now . be it possible to give a unbiased view after spend over $ 1000 on a vacuum cleaner . let 's just say here 's my 2 cent . - the canister be a bit heavier than I think but no different from the old Kenmore canister . - the machine be quiet for a vacuum cleaner but that do not mean it be quiet , i.e. some great progress have be make with appliance such as dishwasher -lrb- almost silent -rrb- but I will not hold my breathe for vacuum cleaner or hair dryer . - the component look and feel good quality and they work well together . - I can not get the hang of hook the brush and handle to the canister to stand upright when not in use . the mechanism do not work well , it take several try but this be small potato . - as mention excellent suction and the auto setting can be over-ridden . - the delivery from United Vacuums -lrb- via Amazon -rrb- beat the schedule by a couple day in excellent condition - the switch and light be intuitive and its easy to work control by foot and not have to bend over . - my wife who do not read manual , read the manual and be teach I thing about it - the compartment open and close with ease and feel sturdy no complaint so far and we be bank on thing stay that way for a while as in year , that be what we pay for . +889 Vacuum POS 5 I struggle with whether to give this unit 4 or 5 star . I be lean toward 4 because I find the hose incredibly awkward because it want to stick out prominently to the side while vacuum . this cause I to sweep a very special coffee mug off which shatter on the floor . I try to pay more attention but end up catch another glass shortly thereafter . you really have to be careful when you be use this thing because the hose extend about 2 foot to you side and will hook anything in its way such as lamp , glass , painting , etc. . at the end of the day i decide to give it 5 star because it truly be a magnificent vacuum . it do exactly what it be suppose to do . it be a light weight vacuum with tremendous suction and a long power cord . I will take responsibility for the learning curve and not penalize the device . I want to mention one other thing in relation to the weight . I have read that it be heavy . I be a fairly large guy so I wonder whether other people might find it uncomfortable . my 9 year old son follow I around the house when I first get the unit , beg for a chance to try it . I eventually give in and he use it for 15-20 minute and never once complain about the weight . he be only 75 lb , so if he can wield it , I think most adult would be able to do so comfortably . +736 Vacuum NEG 2 the vacuum itself when new be excellent . it do a great job of cleaning , have plenty of suction and agitate and groom carpet really well . the allergen reduction system -lrb- filter bag , motor filter and `` hepa '' filtration on the exhaust -rrb- be pretty good at reduce airborne particle . that be say , the quality of most of the material be pretty poor and some of the engineering choice be really questionable . the vacuum have a spring-loaded dingus that remove the roller load from the motor when it be lock in the upright position or when you manually toggle the bare floor setting . initially , this work alright -lrb- if not a bit kludgey ... -rrb- however , after 12 month or so of use , mine stop disengage the roller and would burn through the thin plastic belt if you do not immediately toggle the bare floor switch . I be sort of reluctant to live with this , but since it be really the only issue with the machine at this point , it be not too terrible . just lock it upright , flip the switch . tilt the handle back , untoggle the switch . this allow I to keep the machine from eat belt and save I from have to hear the roller spin and rattle in the upright position . we continue to use the vacuum in this condition for a while , but since it be out of warranty , the price to fix the broken belt mechanism be go to be about the same as a new machine . it end up lasting another 6 month or so until this week when it decide to start burn through belt even when the mechanism be set to bare floor , the exhaust filter retention bracket -lrb- cheap plastic -rrb- become brittle and break when we change the filter and the bag retention mechanism -lrb- again , cheap plastic -rrb- become brittle and break when we replace the bag , and the left bearing cap melt -lrb- I would wager due to the heat cause by the weird belt condition -rrb- now , this be not the result of mistreat or beat on it or anything . these part merely wear out over the course of 18 month , which I suppose be not terrible when some of the reviewer have indicate a machine life of less than 12 month . I would not really recommend this unit to anyone unless you enjoy replace vacuum cleaner every 12 month . Ours have since be replace by a Hoover platinum upright that feel much more solid , have a better warranty and comparable suction and allergen reduction , which we be extremely happy with . +697 Vacuum POS 4 I have have this vacuum for over six year . I love the hepa filter . it help keep the cat and dog hair from become airbourne when vacuum . the only draw back be it be very heavy . drag it up and down stair get a little old , but it do a great job cleaning . I have a older model the newer one my be lighter . I would give it 5 star if not for the weight . +904 Vacuum POS 5 this be now my wife 's go to vacuum for small job around the house or car . we buy a second one for we boat . usually last 15 minute or a bit more for we . +549 Vacuum POS 5 this vacuum cleaner be a well-thought-out machine that really do a great job of cleaning . the hepa filter be terrific . I have read some review that say the hose sag behind the vacuum , but not if you drape it over the machine as be mean to be do . I have find everything about this product to be right on target for what it be intend to do - clean the house . this vacuum cleaner get my highest recommendation without hesitation . +814 Vacuum POS 5 I search and search for a small portable vacuum that be very powerful and the Hoover unit be great ! I have a large cannister -lrb- expensive brand -rrb- that be difficult to move from room to room and get under furniture . this mighty little machine be just as powerful , the cord be extra long , great for hardwood , tile , or carpet . I buy this for all the hard floor surface but it would be great to use for carpet if you have a small condo . it have 7.5 amp and be double insulate . I buy two , one for the house and one for we rv . my best buy this year !! +835 Vacuum POS 4 we have have this for a few month now . I read the review before purchase and be concern about the battery `` issue . '' yeah . it do not last more than 5 + minute . but you know what ? I actually use it more because of that . somehow know that I 'll be guarantee do with vacuum in a little over 5 minute encourage I to grab this puppy up and swing it around a bit on a daily basis wherever it be need most . it do not take forever to recharge , so if I be do a lot of cleaning , I 'll use it , throw it on the charger and use it again later . it be not too noisy . have brush on and brush off feature , so you can turn the brush off for the hardwood floor -lrb- otherwise the brush kick the small bit of whatever behind the vacuum and not into the vacuum -- all vacuum do that -rrb- . canister empty easily . Easy to clean the filter . one flaw -lrb- at least on mine -rrb- -- you really have to pay attention when you put it back in the charger . it be kind of finicky . if you do not get it just right and make sure the charge light come on , it will not seat properly and you 'll come back later to a dead vacuum . and then you will not be able to vacuum ... so take the karma cue and have a cup of tea instead . +513 Vacuum POS 5 we have have this vacuum for about 3 week now and be happy with it so far . it replace a 6 year old Panasonic which go south . it be noticeably heavier than we older vacuum , but I tend to use it more than my wife , so it be not a big deal for I . I may have to carry it up the stair for she though . assembly be limited and easy , and it have good suction . no regret , would buy again . +401 Vacuum NEG 1 hose be short and only seem to suck when it want too . I have to clean it every time before use and still end up with a pile of dirt when I pick it up . basically , it do nothing but redistribute dirt around the house . I have have it for about a year now and just toss it into the trash with great joy . now I be be let the world now what a piece of turd this thing be . my battery power hand vac do a much better job . +436 Vacuum POS 5 it be a great vacuum that have great filter to trap dirt and relatively quiet for its strong motor . it be a bit on the heavy side , but it be normal for a strong vacuum . overall I be really satisfy with the choice . +330 Vacuum POS 5 this be the second one I buy . it come with a nice array of attachment . it be power be higher than most wire auto vac 's and it do not rely on battery that fail you in the middle of a job . this be a simple , but higly functional product you will enjoy . +113 Vacuum POS 5 this be the item I be look for to easily clean the nook and cranny of my higher cabinet , in the crevice everywhere my large vacuum can not get to even with accessory . it empty neatly and have double filter , one washable and one replaceable . it be perfect for my lazy-susan cupboard , just can not get the big wand in there , this little nozzle fit the tight area just fine . it be very light in weight , so it be liftable onto a ladder . glad I get it . also , I accidently press the submit button twice and get the second one , which I 'll give to my daughter-in-law . +313 Vacuum POS 5 we have be use the Miele brand bag for several year but as the price continue to increase and the quantity in the box decrease decide to give these bag a try . we be very pleased ; the bag itself be good quality , the collar be cardboard instead of plastic . Update 2012 : the most recent shipment be not the EnviroCare brand , even though that be what the photo show , but DVC brand . the bag state it come with 2 different filter but none be inside . the EnviroCare brand seem to be of slightly higher quality . +140 Vacuum POS 5 so after 8 year my hoover vacuum bit the dust . I actually do not do most of the vacuuming , my boyfriend do . so i research for the best vacuum with all of he requirement : 1 . must be bagless . `` I hate fumble with those stupid bag . '' 2 . must be upright . `` I do not want to be drag half the machine behind I '' 3 . must have cleaning tool . `` I have to get under the table and the baseboard too , it get gross ! '' this one meet all of he requirement ; bagless , upright , 4 tool . and it meet mine : must be reasonably price . we go to we local target and buy it , not ten minute after we be home my boyfriend have it out of the box and be go nut on we apartment . it be honestly hilarious , every minute he be scream out something like , `` this light be awesome babe !! '' `` oh my god , babe ! check out this turbo brush ! '' `` this thing have so much suction !! look at the crap I pull out of the carpet '' `` oh man , this vacuum rock !! '' we have only have it for a day but my entire apartment have be vacuum not once , but twice because he have to move all the furniture to vacuum underneath it . I love this vacuum because my boyfriend love it . you swear he be five-years-old and I buy he the newest , coolest , most awesomest toy ever . best purchase ever . +419 Vacuum POS 4 ... so I just buy another . I wish the extension hose be a little sturdier , that be the first thing to go on the last one . but this be perform just as well as the last one do . I do not mind the weight or the noise , it just work and clean well . Enough tool to get the job do without too much hassle . I wish they have put the newer power paw thing in a different spot , it fall off once in a while , but it be not a big deal . the quality seem to have hold up over the year . just the sight of it send my dog scurry ; -rrb- +248 Vacuum POS 4 great vacuum for you car . only problem with it be the dirt canister fill up fast . you will have to empty it numerous time while use it . I use it with the shop vac micro-cleaning -lrb- misc . +920 Vacuum POS 5 I really like this light vacuum cleaner because it be : - convenient - light - Versatile -lrb- can be easily use to vacuum inside car or to blow leave out of the garage and patio -rrb- - cheap and because it have a long cord . I wish I could find a more elaborate portable model with : - retractable cord - cushion shoulder strap - easier to remove dust compartment - more suction power . I would not recommend it for deep cleaning . this be perfect for everyday cleaning if you use a stronger vacuum from time to time . +102 Vacuum POS 5 this little machine be powerful , long lasting and get up the pet hair from anywhere they hide . it be so good I buy one for my son , too . Fabulous product . can be use in the house , in the car , anywhere ! and it be easy to clean out . +778 Vacuum POS 4 find this product on consumer report , they review it as a best buy . the manual say the battery last less than 20 minute , kind of short . +886 Vacuum POS 5 this be a great product ... easy to use and then put away in a corner ... highly recommend this vacuum !!! +979 Vacuum NEG 1 my wife buy this vac after we Dyson dc14 stop be effective -lrb- hose crack and poor suction -rrb- . I be excite to get a try at the latest and greatest bagless technology -lrb- and not spend hundred of dollar -rrb- but be sorely disappoint . 3 area where this vacuum need improvement 1 -rrb- Quality be poor . out of the box the plastic wheel be out of round and rolling be not smooth . I can not understand why manufacturer shave a few nickel on basic element that form first impression . 2 -rrb- `` bagless '' feature be worthless . I be a big fan of bagless ... I want to open a canister , dump it in the trash , and not have to replace bag ... and I want to avoid have to get my hand dirty . the bagless feature on the Bissell be really a secondary dirt trap to the two air filter that do most of the work . the vacuum quickly loss section after clean a handful of room . the air filter need to then be disassemble , hand wash , and dry before the vacuum will perform reasonably again . a nasty , dirty job that negate the purpose of buy a bagless vac . 3 -rrb- the turbo-brush look pretty impressive ... and I be hope we carpeted step would look clean after use it , but the design almost render the brush non-functional . the device have a rotate brush\/wheel contraption that look like it would clean mightily . unfortunately , the brush\/wheel be power by the vacuum 's suction , and as soon as the brush come in contact with the carpet it stop rotate . maybe on smooth flooring or berber style carpet this would be ok but not on normal carpet . if my wife could find the receipt I would take this back in a heartbeat . +945 Vacuum POS 4 incredible suction and very light . attachment hose could be a little longer , only reach halfway up my step and spec do not tell how long the hose be when I order . the plastic nozzle where you attach tool crack the first day , but I may have be a little too agressive . I would definitely recommend this vacuum because of reasonable price , suction power and the attachment surprisingly stay in they holder . +115 Vacuum POS 5 because if you dont ... these bag will ! work just like the original at a amazing price ! have be buy for year and no complaint yet ! +968 Vacuum POS 4 I have Electrolux cordless vacuum . so I can compare only to Electolux . B&D; be not elegant or light as Electrolux . do not have detachable handheld vacuum . remove and clean dirt from unit be not so easy as with Electrolux . but this small monster make work do . it be really able to vacuum , pickup pet hair , dirt from floor and rag . and it be able to run on one charge long enough to finish job . Electrolux be able to pickup only light dust from bare floor for 5 min . I be very satisfied with B&D; . +229 Vacuum NEG 1 I be so excited to get this product . I think it be the coolest vacuum ever make , then I open the box . after wait for 24 hour for it to charge , I finally get to use it . I once again think it be the coolest portable vacuum ever make . this last for less then 5 minute . by the time I clean the cat hair off of one chair and some cat hair under a couple of table , it start lose power . it run for less than 5 minute !!! I think I have a defective product until I begin read the hundred of review that say the same thing . the worst part be that you can not even plug it in and use it . you can not use the unit while it be on the charger ! 24 hour later , you get five more minute . for a portable vacuum , this thing be expensive . . it be not worth the money . . you will be extremely disappointed . . Mine be get return . . +777 Vacuum POS 4 I just receive this vac today . the suction be better than my 15 volt portable . it be extremely easy to get behind object because of the way the nozzle be adjustable . have quite a few attachment that make a pretty big difference . and the best thing of all its not battery operate ! you can take you time ! you can actually see the dirt through the plastic and the feature to clean the filter be really helpful to my surprise . its pretty quite and very flexible . the cord be longer than i would ever need -lrb- audi s6 -rrb- and my car be pretty big . I would highly recommend this unit . and will probably be buy one as a gift for my friend . good job Black and Decker !! a + Edit : only con be that it have to be empty pretty often -lrb- this be the same for all small vaccum -rrb- . +151 Vacuum POS 4 we buy this to replace another Eureka vacuum we get to replace we Hoover WindTunnel -lrb- great vacuum , never have a problem , and serve we faithfully for 8 year -rrb- . the first Eureka we buy -lrb- the Capture Plus -rrb- , be a disaster , it kick the bucket in just 6 month , and it be not abuse . the Boss SmartVac come highly recommend , and the price be right -lrb- $ -lrb- ... -rrb- -rrb- . Consumer Reports rate the Boss Ultra as one of the best vacuum in a comparison against some of the best vacuum on the market -lrb- think Kirby ... Rainbow -rrb- . I can not deny that claim now that I have own it . the Boss have excellent suction and clean as good , if not better than vacuum cost $ 300 , 400 , 500 more . I have use Kirbys , Dysons , Hoovers , Rainbows , and other , and this one work great . it be load with useful feature too . it be get a motorized brush roll -lrb- beater bar -rrb- that turn off when you be not use it on carpet . you can switch the suction mode , and there be a function for bare -lrb- hard -rrb- floor and adjustible brush height . the hose stretch out nice and long , and the tool be of good quality . this be a bagged vacuum , so it will not clog easily , and it be hygenic : just replace the bag . Eureka claim this be one of the best filter vacuum out there , and it may be , but despite have true 3-stage hepa filtration , there be some particulate that get by they . still , good filtration for the money . if you be look for good filtration , try one of Rainbow 's water vacuum , but in term of cost , the Eureka be more attractive . there be some reliability issue with this machine though . the motor be very powerful ... 12 amp . it be a excellent powerhead , deliver astounding suction for a small unit , and it be reliable . that power can be a problem though . if you manage to suck up a rug , curtain , stuff animal , pet toy , or other object -lrb- if you be not careful you will , it be that powerful -rrb- , it can cause some serious problem . the belt be not make from regular rubber , it be a synthetic that Eureka claim last longer than rubber . that may be true , but it do not stand up to abuse , and if overheate , be ruin . Rubber belt can take that abuse much better . also , the brushrool bearing cap be plastic , and suceptable to overheate and melting . you can not readily replace they either . plus , the vacuum be make almost eitirely of plastic , which be good for weight savings -lrb- it be still on the heavy side though at about 23 lb -rrb- , but bad for durability . it be questionable however , because if you be not abusive to this machine , you should not have any issue with it . out of 10 boss , 10 will probably be fine . we buy this from CostCo , which have a no-questions-asked return policy , so if it break , we 'll send it back and get another one . +286 Vacuum POS 4 this be one fantastic vacuum , I can go over the carpet several time and could not believe the stuff that come up . this be not a expensive vacuum but man oh man it really suck ... ... ... ... in a good way -lrb- ... -rrb- +712 Vacuum POS 4 after a stroke 1 1\/2 year ago I find that my new electrolux vacuum be too heavy and cumbersome to use-and ask my husband to vacuum all the time be start to get `` old '' . I look over what option I have and finally decide to try this Hoover out . it be not too heavy for I -lrb- I buy the carrier too -rrb- . I can slip it over my head and I be able to vacuum with very little discomfort . I change the tool one hand by hold the tool with my foot and use my one hand to pull off the rod\/hose . I be get pretty good at this . my husband say he like the portable vacuum too . I probably would have give five star if the machine do the vacuum for I ! I be very satisfied with this Hoover . +371 Vacuum POS 5 this vacuum be like a porshe . it be small , make little noise and have tremendous power . in fact , it have six setting for power . and I can pick it up to put it away . the attachment be the typical one . I be very happy with it . +226 Vacuum POS 5 order from Amazon , free shipping over $ 25.00 and the best price on the web . better yet i receive it the next day . I could not be happier . +10 Vacuum POS 4 I buy this vaccuum for use in a few home that I clean . it be lightweight make it easy to carry home to home . I also buy the holder for it , which you really need to buy otherwise it slide forward everytime you lean to vaccuum . I love the cord length , it be long enough to clean a small home . it work great on hardwood . I would not recommend it for carpeting as the opening in the head be small and do not pick up as much as a upright . I also like the attachment for upholstery and it be perfect size to vaccuum lamp shades . the small dirt bag hold a good amount of dirt and be easy to clean . I take out the cloth bag and rinse it , which make it like new . I like this vaccuum and I think it be definitely a good deal for the price . +200 Vacuum NEG 1 this vacuum have give we nothing but problem since we have have it . after the first month of use it the suction of the hose would not work properly if the whole sweeper be not take apart and clean in the sink after only a week worth of use . then it would start to stink like rot fish after use and wash under warm water , which the instruction say to do to clean the filter . would never buy this or recommend to anyone ! +869 Vacuum POS 4 I have be need a new vacuum cleaner for year and just before Christmas I go online and research vacuum cleaner . I decide on the Eureka Boss Smart and I have be very pleased with it . the price be reasonable and the cleaner be easy to use and be very sturdy and make my carpet look like new . I have 2 dog so the hepa filter be great with dog hair and dander . and the Eureka be deliver in like two day ! +891 Vacuum POS 5 I live near the beach and like to hike , so my car mat take a beat to say the least . I keep this in my trunk to take care of dirt and sand and it work fabulously . +767 Vacuum NEG 1 I purchase this base on the review . Mistake . Hoover really screw up on this one . the cloth bag be a mess to clean and I can not figure out how the paper one work . between the tweeked hose , the shoulder strap , no wheel and no place to put the attachment this machine be just plain awkward to use . one reviewer get it right : the only thing good about this machine be the cord length . I be go to buy a Eureka canister . +380 Vacuum NEG 1 do not waste you money ! this vacum cleaner shut off after 1 minute of use ! I wish I never buy it ! what a waste of money ! its the BIGGEST Piece of crap on this planet ! take you $ 140.00 and through it in the river . its the same thing as buy this vacum cleaner ! what a piece of crap ! +491 Vacuum POS 5 after have go through a Oreck , a Hoover and a Dyson , I finally have a vacuum cleaner that have quality construction and control . I love the `` twist '' part , it make get into corner very easy . the hose be very easy to use -lrb- especially in comparison to the Dyson -rrb- . I be a little old lady with a very bad back . I have no problem use my Miele . it do a great job on get up pet hair and in this house a vacuum cleaner have to handle pet hair from two cat and two dog . I actually enjoy vacuum with my `` twist '' , my house have not be this clean in year . Revision I should have wait a while before write the review . the twist go through one bag perform well . it go downhill from there . I can not go over more than two square yard without a blockage . unstop this thing be ridiculous . there be three area where one can try , but it be virtually impossible to get a wire into the hole . trip to the repair shop be a inconvenience , but have to be do . I be very disappoint in this vacuum cleaner , wish I never buy it . 0 +585 Vacuum POS 5 I totally love my hoover commercial shoulder vacuum cleaner . it be much easier to use then my old up right model . it do a better job & have a super long cord , so even in a larger house , you do not need to switch plug often . +849 Vacuum NEU 3 ok vacuum with pro and con . first the pro . I like the fact that when the vacuum have it be handle lock in the upright position it stop the brush . also the feature of switch the suction from the floor to attachment be nice . the vacuum roll nicely but be a little heavier than some other like vacuum on the market . the biggest con I find be the design of the brush . I be find that I be replace the brush after four year of usable because the bearing in the brush will seize . the belt be Kevlar and not make out of rubber . the Kevlar be nice because it will last longer but when the brush lock up because the bearing go out it will start smoking and will start the wood brush soldering . +132 Vacuum POS 4 this vacuum work so much better than my Hoover do . the suction be more powerful and it actually work on hard floor too without just blow the dirt backwards . the hose be easy to use . the hose be slip off the notch easily when I try to vacuum but that be the only problem so far . +949 Vacuum POS 5 product arrive timely and be just as describe . we have have it for a while now and love it . it be so much better than the one we have . we throw we old one away ! it have great suction , cord be a good length and we use all the attachment . do not know if it say it or not , but it also come with a great storage bag . would highly recommend product and seller . +2 Vacuum NEG 1 I pick this up for light cleaning b\/w maid visit and be thrill at first . it pick everything up , be fairly light but seamed solidly make . however about 4-5 month after purchase the the wheel stop spin . I clean the hair and check the belt and nothing work . bring it to a vacuum repair shop who get it spilling again - - for a day . then nothing . piece of crap . bring it back to the vacuum cleaner shop and they could not figure it out . and it do not pick up a thing if brush be not spin . +416 Vacuum NEG 1 I try to cancel the order after read some review on this but Amazon send it anyway . this be a waste of time and money . the motor work when you turn it on but it do not vacuum anything . maybe it work on the molecular scale but do not clean up any dust on my keyboard or anything else . maybe this be a joke thing like a fake poo or split ink bottle ... for those of you that remember the `` Pet Rock '' , that be more practicle than this vacuum thing . +739 Vacuum POS 4 I buy this vacuum to replace my Dirt Devil that break suck up cat litter . -lrb- doh ! -rrb- pro : come with great tool . Easy to assemble out of box . pick up basically everything . good for price . Great on bare floor , too . do not fling stuff around . con : Pretty hefty -- difficult to push on thicker carpet . plastic trap fill up very quickly -- smaller than my Dirt Devil `` container '' . very hard to turn knob to change carpet height while vacuum be run . I do not know if you be suppose to `` do that '' or not , but regardless , it be hard to turn . need both hand . could use a little more suction power to suck up heavier debris . +537 Vacuum POS 5 I be very pleased with this product . it be powerful , easy to maneuver , and empty be a breeze . be able to clean the filter save on cost . I highly recommend this vacuum if you want convenience and power . +645 Vacuum NEU 3 this be a handy little vacuum & the only problem be about a 5-8 minute run time . a lot of other people have complain about this on other site & it be true . although not quite as handy , but better run time , be the black & decker 18 v. Pivot Vac . they seem to have perfect the Pivot Vac . +908 Vacuum POS 4 I take away a star due to not receive the advertised ` scent tablet ' which be the minor value add that lead I to pick this particular seller . however the bag themselves be fine . they have the cardboard collar as oppose to plastic , but it work . I have also try Filtrete , Crucial , Green label , etc. . they all work fine . in fact in 10 year of Miele ownership , I have only ever have 2 bag fail and they be both official Miele brand bag . as I have read on other review for the various bag , I agree it be hard to say if they all actually filter as much dust as Miele -lrb- or maybe even more -rrb- but I will say that I do not notice any residual dust inside the bag chamber regardless of which bag I have use -lrb- other the two previously mention Miele brand bag that fail -rrb- . base on all of this , in my experience , there be no reason to pay for the expensive , price-controlled Miele brand bag . the machine be expensive enough in the first place , and replacement part cost a arm and a leg . so save money on the bag ! +235 Vacuum POS 5 I have always be a Hoover Vacuum buyer , so when my old faithful Hoover could not preform anymore , I buy another only bagless . BIG MISTAKE as far as I be concern . I hate that vacuum and within six month be look for another . a friend have this eureka and I be very impressed with it , so I buy one too . this vacuum be wonderful on all type of floor -lrb- carpet or bare -rrb- and the power attachment be a wonder as well . I have 2 cat and a dog and I also have no hair on the furniture or floor after use this machine . great buy for the money . it be ship promptly and arrive before the date that be give . very quick delivery and very easdy to assemble . I plug it in the day of arrival and have be so pleased with the result . +452 Vacuum POS 4 I buy this Bissell vacuum cleaner on the 28th and it be a relief to know that there be still vacuum cleaner out there that can do the job they be build to do . with that say , there be one gripe I would like to acknowledge . this be not a major gripe but it be annoy enough to warrant a one star reduction . the assembly of the vacuum handle with one long screw make the handle of the vacuum cleaner seem a little bit flimsy . what be more be that the long screw attach the handle to the body through a deep recess in the screw hole . I feel that this be neither need nor preferable to a design in which two half length screw on either side of the handle could not have do a better and more stable job . this I think , be a small oversight and only detract slightly to the overall quality of the vacuum cleaner . aside from this , the Bissell work flawlessly be quite capable of pick up all the dirt and debris on my carpet . it be add-on peripheral add to its utility and help get the job do the way it be mean to be do . if you be look for a decently price vacuum cleaner with the accessory to match in both look and utility , look no further because Bissell have both a trust name and the know how to make a product that work . +771 Vacuum POS 4 buy this vacuum cleaner on the strength of other customer review . I want a cleaner for my second floor so that I would not have to carry my primary vacuum up the stair as it be so heavy . this one be light in weight , do a really good pick up -lrb- include dog hair -rrb- , have a long cord and because it be slightly narrower go under more furniture . the only disadvantage I have find thus far be that the inner filter , if rinse , take day to dry . also , the on\/off control be not on the handle . would I buy it again ? absolutely . +344 Vacuum NEG 1 I do not c how everyone say it be so great . barely touch the wood floor for small pickup and can not really move around on carpet . I do not even have pet . the suction be not strong at all . I be so anxious and excited to order , then be so dissappointed . true , the cord be long and it be light weight . but the rest be false information . +422 Vacuum POS 5 we buy this vacuum over a year ago and use it daily . we have have no problem at all with it other than need to replace the belt , which be general maintenance and easy to do . I would purchase this vacuum again +415 Vacuum POS 5 Works great , arrive on time in good condition . do good job on all the dog hair in my apartment . +363 Vacuum POS 5 I be so glad I buy the Eureka 4870mz Boss Smart-Vac with the pet paw ! oh my goodness , it perform much better than my previous , much more expensive , vaccum ! it clean so incredibly well - great suction . and the powerpaw and hose be extremely powerful as well ! I have review vaccum for month before pick this one and boy do I ever make the right choice ! it be the same heaviness as any heavy-duty vaccum . I finally make a good-buy !!! +810 Vacuum POS 5 though large and somewhat cumbersome , this fine piece of equipment be incredibly powerful and offer a good range of setting and extension . I be also able to find replacement bag very easily on amazon . two thumb up . +144 Vacuum POS 4 - very good item for the price ! Works great for a hand hold item ! also great that you do not have to worry about the battery die cuz it run off you cigarette lighter ! great product !!! +207 Vacuum POS 5 I have a cleaning company -lrb- residential -rrb- and I use these in all the house and apartment . it doesnt have a beater bar so it doesnt tear up carpet and floor . it get in around chair , sofa , table , toilet , up on ceiling , across wall , up stair with no hassle . I also have scoliosis so I orginally buy these for the back issue . I also use this in my own house . I have no issue with this machine . the first one I buy 5 year ago , not off amazon but same make and I have not have to take it in once . remember , this go to 2 house a day , five or six day a week , for 5 year . Amazon have it for half of what I pay for my original ! yay 2 thumb up . .5 star all the way -lrb- think of the dream it be to use on stair ! -rrb- +365 Vacuum NEG 1 Thought I pick a good product but the suction leave a lot to be desire . I buy this because I do not want to carry out my large vacuum cleaner . not worth the price ! +255 Vacuum POS 4 buy this cordless vac to mainly pick up dog hair from hardwood floor between house cleaning . it have good suction and pick up hair well and be small enough to get between table leg and under most funiture with its pivot postion . it also work well on rug , have not really try it on carpet , but no reason to think it would not excel there too . only slight drawback , and not really with I , but with the wife , it be pretty loud . the noise level be signicant for a smaller vac , but I do not care as long as it work well . +149 Vacuum POS 5 this be the third Eureka Boss Smart-Vac which I have purchase in the last 16 year . the other 2 be work and have be hand down to other family . we home be a single story so there be no issue of have to heft it up\/down the stair . the machine perform at a 5 star level . +578 Vacuum NEU 3 Have have two of these in the last 5 year . Consumer Reports recommend and work well out of the box . however , the beater bar motor be too weak to continue work over time . Have have both get progessively weaker and finally just stop work . I do not have pet , just short carpet . attachment do not stay on and quite heavy . hepa filter be good though . tired of buy disposable vacuum . will try a Miele with 7 year motor warranty and go back to canister vacuum . +820 Vacuum POS 4 I already own the hand hold Black and Decker pivot vac and like it enough to buy the full size one . this one do a pretty good job clean up after 2 dog and 2 cat but it may be not quite as powerful as the hand hold unit . it also be a bit unwieldy to unfold and to fold it back up after use . the power brush do decently , but I would not give up my standard vac for it . +173 Vacuum POS 4 I get my new vacuum yesterday . I take it out of the box and within 5 minute it be fully assemble . I do not even need to read the direction it be pretty simple . I vacuum my area rug and half the container be already full of dirt and debris . I be pretty happy with the purchase so far , packing be good and shipping be very fast -lrb- next day -rrb- . I rate this item only 4 star because it have only be 1 day since I get it and I be not to impress with the smell of the new motor . I be hope it subside the more I use it . the product come with a 1-year warrantee . it do not feel to flimsy . the light in the front be very helpful in low-lit area . +529 Vacuum POS 5 my 3 year old dirtdevil vacuum cleaner give up and I head to the research room on Amazon to consider a replacement . after extensive research I zero in on this and Hoover 5507-900 . Hoover be more expensive and do not have the tool and upholstery available on this vacuum . I still have my doubt on Bissell hence I head to target to check the Vacuum myself . I be impress with what I see and I order this on Amazon . out of the box this vacuum be very easy to assemble and quite user friendly . the motor be very powerful and it clean the dirt from the carpet with ease . it also have adjustable knob for power variation and have one for bare-floor surface . the dirt container be very easy to replace and the extra dust brush with extension wand make hard to reach place very easy to clean . Whats more this vacuum work like charm on my vacuum storage bag . it remove the air out of the bag in 30 seconds flat . I would definitely recommend this vacuum cleaner who do not want to waste money on Hoover or even worst Dyson and still want to keep clean . diff --git a/dev/Video_Games.txt b/dev/Video_Games.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..b9253dfcd078e3988bc0775b0096959e01bba8b2 --- /dev/null +++ b/dev/Video_Games.txt @@ -0,0 +1,100 @@ +852 Video_Games POS 4 get the the use `` like new '' xbox from Amazon Warehouse for $ 150.00 . after have my xbox for 5 year I finally get the rrod , so rather than send my xbox to Microsoft and shell out $ 100 since it be out of warranty I figure I would just buy one of the newer model . so far I do not regret it it be smaller , sleeker , and a lot quieter . as I mention earlier I buy mine use `` like New '' from Amazon warehouse and save 50 buck . the only notable difference from a brand new console be that the box be different everything in the box however be in it be original packaging , with extra paper wrap around it as to make sure it do not get damage while be ship -lrb- manual be also include -rrb- .

I have not even explore everywhere yet . and when I plan on do a mission\/quest I end up get side-track when I come across a abandon keep or bump into someone who need help . for every quest I finish I have add 3 more . and they be the typical ` fetch ' quest either . the story be immersive as be each side quest . and these side quest be not straight forward . I ` read ' a random book at the beginning of the game and only just complete it , 100 hour later . I do not have the best armor\/weapons\/spells , I do not have all the shout , and I be not even max out on level up . the graphic be incredible too . as be the gameplay , dialogue\/sound effect , lighting . of course , with any game like this -lrb- or really in general -rrb- load be a bit tedious . so while all the above-mentioned make for a incredible gaming experience , have to load so much get a tad annoying . but whatever , I be a patient guy and it be worth it . it really be unfortunate that so many people give it 1 star base upon a lagging issue -lrb- which I believe be real and I be sure one of the two patch I have have address this and other will continue to in the future -rrb- . I have only come across a couple minor glitch and for a game with such scale that be quite impressive . I 'll continue to support Bethesda as they rarely disappoint . if you can get past the ` lagging ' complaint you will find yourself with the best game of the year -lrb- yes , that be include Modern Warfare ... stupid over rate fpss -rrb- . lastly , it be rare that a game come out that be truly one player . call I a loner , but I find most gaming better alone , make a personal experience , like read a book series ... uhhh but with button instead of word . Ok , that be enough babbling . I hope you consider Skyrim if you have not already . if not , whatever , I do . +61 Video_Games NEG 2 First off , my computer be three year old . it be a reasonably high end computer in its day as well . but this release be also three year old , so it \* should \* run fine . it do not . it crash often . unless I turn all the graphic way down it run verry slowly . in contrast , Unreal Tournament 2004 with its flashy graphic and sound run fine on my computer . the level design be not great , but the enemy aus be worse . sometimes you can shoot a line of baddy one at a time with a sniper rifle and they will not budge . Stay away from MicroSoft if you can . +718 Video_Games POS 4 I do not have the game controller mat , but since it say it be compatible with the wius balance board , I buy it . it be fun , and a good workout , but it be pretty limit when you be use it with the balance board . +9 Video_Games NEG 1 xbox 360 mc2 race wheel be not work for I : -lrb- . . I connect it to the XBOX . . power be not get switch on for xbox 360 mc2 race wheel . +79 Video_Games POS 4 I 'll be honest upfront . from the beginning , I hate this game . the amount of technical issue be inexcusable . while the art style and color be beautiful , the texture be muddy , screen-tearing abound , and never have I see so many object and texture pop-in in a game . the audio 's volume level seem to be all over the place , with dialog be particularly low , keep I from get much investment in the story -- there be even one point where certain sound-effect and all dialog go completely mute . but most of all , it be not very much fun , as the majority of the gameplay seem to be tedious climbing and get across danger zone fill with object you arbitrarily could or could not climb . but there come a point in the game where this turn around . and I think I can tell you exactly where this point happen : when you leave New York . it might also be argue that it be when you get the Cloud , but I feel that be just the beginning of the change . after this point , the gameplay start to become more and more varied . stunning environment begin to mask technical deficiency -- either that , or the programmer actually improve as the game go on . character interaction become more engrossing . by the end , the game become enjoyable enough to ignore its technical flaw and ho-hum beginning . I get a distinct feeling that the developer have a really grand vision for the game , and while for whatever reason -- whether it be not enough time , money or talent -- it do not live up to that vision , it be still a wonderful ride in its own right , and where that grand vision glimpse out at certain moment of the game , it really shine . +441 Video_Games POS 5 this game be a must for any Daria fan ! I buy it last year from amazon and I love it !! -lrb- yeah by the way I be really 16 , not under 13 , but I do not have my own account so I be post my review like this ... -rrb- okay so anyway , this game be really fun and amusing . and it be really funny because it have all these joke from Daria and Sick Sad World . if you love the show , you 'll love this game . especially since the graphic make it look like a real episode of Daria - it be animated the same way and look awesome - it be like be in a actual episode that you control ! and although I will agree that this game be more for real Daria fan than hardcore gamer , it be still pretty challenging because there be some obstacle and puzzle that do take some think to figure out -lrb- although nothing be too annoying or impossible to figure out -rrb- . it be a very enjoyable gam eto play ! and once you finish , it be fun to go back and play again with a friend -lrb- although it be only for one player at a time - but alternate be fun -rrb- . yeah , so buy this game because I promise you 'll love it ! +881 Video_Games POS 5 how complicated must it be for Sega to make a game on a console that be still in development at the same time ? and yet , the final game be a smash hit that happen to be pretty top-notch . they have pull through then , I guess . and now that there be a DX version , it be on several other system , include Gamecube , Xbox , PC , PS3 , etc , so everyone get a opportunity to see this classic . the game let you choose to play as 6 different character -lrb- however , you unlock they by play as Sonic first -rrb- . we have sonic -lrb- of course -rrb- , Tails , Amy , Knuckles , E103 Omega , and ... big the cat ... each of the character have they own gameplay mechanic , as well as goal and certain level . Below be the fun factor for each character . Sonic - The level be actually pretty straightforward . you simply go from start to finish . and boy be it fun . . it be actually pretty close to the Genesis Sonic game , but in 3d . collect ring , bash robot , you know . . the good stuff . plus , there be some new level-specific gameplay mechanic include , like Twinkle Park 's bumper car ride , and Sky Chase 's airplane combat ! you may as well buy this game just for sonic alone . after all , as the title character , he have the most level to go through . tail - more or less like Sonic 's gameplay except he have to race Sonic -lrb- later , Eggman , in speed highway -rrb- in each level . it be not as bad as it may sound , because it only just keep the pace go , which be great , and do not you think it be kind of exciting to find shortcut when fly ? knuckle - rather than go from start to finish , Knuckles have to find 3 emerald in each level . so how do you do so ? you glide around the place and see if a Emerald be pick up on a radar -lrb- really helpful -rrb- , and they could be hide in enemy or other place . the only minor -lrb- and only minor -rrb- downside with Knuckles be that there be only about 1 -lrb- or 2 ? -rrb- emerald throughout the game that could only be find by digging into the ground . I be expect Knuckles 's digging upgrade to be use a bit more specifically for find emerald . Amy - she be not as fast as the above 3 character , but she still be not a bad pick . although have the same robot chase she throughout level be a little cringe-inducing , Amy play pretty well , as she can attack with she massive hammer . e103 Omega - Alright . who expect a robot to be playable in a sonic game ? I certainly have not , but I be glad I be . Omega 's gameplay involve massive deal of weaponry , as well as be able to hover later on , and do certain task in the level . in final egg , for example , you must destroy Sonic doll . in Emerald Coast , you catch Froggy . in other level , you must go destoy other Omega robot ! I absolutely love play as this thing , as much as I love play as the first 3 character . big - Big be a pretty lame downside to this game . he be slow , and you have to go fishing for thing . it be as fun as describe , and I certainly do not want to go back to play as he . sadly , you have to beat the game as all character if you want to fight the actual last boss , Perfect Chaos , so ... ... that pretty much cover up the character . as for everything else , the level design be magnificent and lovingly craft . plus , the graphic be awesome for the time , and the soundtrack rock ! however , sonic adventure dx be not without flaw . there be a few time where the collision get a little awry , and the cutscene be not amazing , too . while the story be nicely do , some bit of dialogue be a bother . oh , yeah , and there be big the cat . nevertheless , these be , again , minor problem , as the game be so much fun that you would hardly think about they . oh yeah , and the unlockable collection of Game Gear game be a great bonus ! +515 Video_Games POS 5 Nintendo have give we some of the best loved-franchise of all time , such as Mario , Zelda , Metroid , and countless more . Super Smash Bros Brawl bring out the very best of each of these . not only do it have a full roster of beloved Nintendo hero and villain , it also recount they most potent fighting technique , each one have a unique way of destroy they foe . along with stage place in area you be bind to know from you favorite game , they be accompany by remixed version of many of Nintendo 's greatest orchestration . aside from the hour of fun you 'll have beat Nintendo character of all shape and size senseless , there be so many more thing to do , include uncover the mystery of the game 's story mode , the Subspace Emissary , play demo of classic Nintendo game in masterpiece mode , or complete mission to unlock the game 's hundred of trophy and other collectable . this game will keep you so busy and always want more , that chance be you 'll never complete the game 100 % . but the path get there be so much fun , that it really will not bother you . +592 Video_Games POS 4 purchase to replace a case skin that have wear through , this appear to be a good option . it have the same good fit and provide a secure grip . +434 Video_Games NEU 3 I love the build quality of this headset , and I can tell it be build to last . the sound quality be superb , and the headset itself be very lightweight and comfortable . my only problem be with the microphone . it have a `` noise canceling '' feature that set the threshold way too high . I play at night , and I need to talk somewhat quietly , but the microphone do not even detect normal-volume speech . I be force to raise my voice if I want to speak , and even then the headset seem to ignore the first few word that I say before it start transmit . one little issue as well : the mic do not seem to have active voice monitoring , which be something you do not even realize be there until it be go . my Turtle Beach x31 headset have it , and it be strange not have it . pro : Lightweight Comfortable durable stylish good sound quality\/bass con : microphone be not nearly sensitive enough no active voice monitoring -lrb- muffle you voice and sound odd -rrb- unfortunately , I would not recommend this to a friend , but it may be good for you , especially if you speak somewhat loudly . +216 Video_Games POS 5 I have not play the single player mode yet and i do not know if i ever will . I believe that all the action be in online play . Start up take awhile , a update right off the bat , and then enter the online code and after that i be on my way . this be not cod . to I cod be arcade , run and gun and everyman for himself . Dont get I wrong i love the modern warfare game . this game however be very easy to pick up and play if you be familier with fp 's . I enjoy not get kill every 5 sec . by a noobtube . in this game it be fast paced . you decide how to play . you can go lone gun and spray and pray at anything that move , or you can stick with other member of you team and move forward to complete objective or to just kill the other team . the sound online be pretty good and so be the graphic . its a nice change of pace from the recent cod game . the biggest thing that you have to get use to cod player , there be no kill cam . if you into online play and be look for a solid online shooter to play that be different than cod , then this game be for you . +660 Video_Games POS 5 the PS3 be a great system . I get the item fast through amazon , package nicely , and use the PS3 almost everyday . +707 Video_Games POS 5 I know my brother Ron would love this the minute I see it . what a awesome present for he birthday +951 Video_Games POS 5 I recently buy the biggest loser and I be surprise that it be as good as it be . when I be work out it allow I to see if I need to dip lower or bring my knee higher . it also be motivate because the bob and jillian character would talk to you the whole game . if you be do good they would say so and if you quit or slow down they would tell you about it . the scanner on the game do put my height wrong , but that be because I do not have my kinect position right . once I get use to the game , it be easy to navigate the screen . I also like how I could personalize my weight loss for myself . I could tell they how many week and how much I want to lose . the game also keep track of my calorie and let I know if I be meet my goal . this game be not mean to be a fun game , but it be mean to help people get in shape . the workout be hard and I love that I could take a break or work harder . overall this game be a five star for I . +605 Video_Games NEG 1 I be go to buy until I find out about DRM . another $ 50.00 bite the dust ea . enjoy you game +542 Video_Games POS 5 I think human revolution be a strong buy if you be look for something outside of the call of duty-style shooting gallery . dxhr be a place of character , decision and consequence , as much as it be a place of bullet and bloodshed . it be one of the more rewarding action game that I have play in several year and a worthy companion to the original . the story be a engrossing techno-thriller potboiler , where you be never quite sure who you can trust , or for how long . some alliance be brief , and turn of fate can come unexpectedly . thing be not what they appear to be at first , and people be not always who they seem to be . the more you uncover , the higher the stake seem to get . but you do get clue about where thing be go to go , if you hack enough computer and get you hand on the right people and the right document . even the side mission inform you about the game world and how you character be view by other ; sometimes a hero-in-waiting , other time a potential contract killer . it be up to you to confirm they belief or prove they wrong . after all , you have great potential for both good and evil with you `` augmentation , '' prosthetic that re not just mechanical assistance but machinery \* better \* than flesh and graft to you body ; replace lung , eye , and heart , not to mention you limb . the higher capacity that this give a person -- and the effect that it have on the perception of they very humanity -- will be a run theme throughout the game . dhxr also hearken back to the old Splinter cell , with a side of metal Gear Solid . like those game , you can not run into a room gun blaze . you have to strategize by either pick people off surgically , or avoid they altogether . you 'll need to get password and keycode to get into secret area , and the environment be highly explorable -- there be a distinct lack of paint door and arbitrary obstacle , and a complete absence of invisible wall . so go ahead and wander down that corridor that lead away from you objective , because you may find a useful weapon or valuable piece of information . the area have a variety of alternate route , some of which you need special ability -lrb- call `` augmentation '' -rrb- to access . you 'll need to hide the people you have take down , because another person sight they can set off a alarm . if the person you have take down be unconscious -lrb- you get a variety of non-lethal approach to combat -rrb- , then they can be revive . firefight use a cover-based system that put you in a third-person , over-the-shoulder perspective . you can blind-fire or aim around corner . and you can lob a variety of grenade . you can hack robotic gun turret sometimes and turn they against you attacker . it work pretty smoothly without make you feel like the game be do all the cover work for you . as far as production value go , the visual be behind the curve , but this do mean that more computer will be able to handle the game without many performance issue . the voice acting be generally very good , although Adam Jensen may be a acquire taste . it help I to pretend he be basically Clint Eastwood transport to the future . the ambient music be incredibly atmospheric , although the main theme be use heavily , and you may find it repetitive . sound effect be also polish and vary . if I have any complaint , it would be for the spike in difficulty for the `` boss battle . '' there be few of they , thankfully , but you 'll probably find yourself reload many time before you finally crack it . it be not ninja gaiden maddening , but it do evoke the same kind of frustration . there be also a lot of back-and-forth when wander in between mission , without really any landmark to guide you . it be a bit easy to get lose or hit a dead-end . +7 Video_Games NEG 1 not really a lot to say here . the graphic be actually spectacular . that be why it get the one star . the game itself be utter nonsense and absolute crap . I have see people get through it in as little as a bit over a hour , I take my time and get 3 out of it . nothing really here at all to offer to anyone who be a fan of drive game , unless you like the walmart arcade racer in the arcade area . then this would be right up you alley . the physics , as with all NFS game since ... the first few original , be absolutely ridiculous . the car themselves be gorgeous , but behave nothing like car . ea gamble it be entire game on be the only one to offer Porsches , due to a contract game like Forza 4 , be not allow to use Porsches . well , this strategy be a absolute , utter failure . it will never compete with game like Forza 3 or 4 , or Gran Turismo . I can not imagine it be really mean to though , it feel like they spend all of about 5 minute develop it . I suppose I be a bit harsh . I just like my drive game to feel like I be actually drive something . honestly , any drive game without a interior view automatically lose all star . this game have no real story , no real substance to it , but like I say , graphically it be honestly pretty awesome . as for judge if you should buy it or not , go to you local walmart , play one of those `` fast and the furious '' arcade game . if you like it , this be for you . if you be look for anything resemble actual driving , do not bother , honestly . at least not at the price it be be sell for now . when it drop to the 5 dollar value box , or if you be go to rent it , go for it . mercifully , I be smart enough to play before buying . do the world a favor and do not give ea or black Box any of you money . let evolution take it be course . +285 Video_Games POS 5 this be a great color gaming system that broght the fun of most of the game of sega 's genisis to a pocket version . the color graphic blow away any of it be competition at the time -lrb- except for the 16bit atarus lynx system , highly overlook -rrb- , and should have lay waiste to the gameboy , except for the marketing and pricing . it be tough to believe that the survivor from this time period be the gameboy . this be family friendly , still readily available and with many title in most use gaming store . very well worth look at and buy for younger kid that may not be ready for a psp . this have a few more maturer game for the pre-teens as well , so they can continue to devlop they interest beyond bubble bobble and kirby -lrb- even though bubble bobble be excellet , a classic -rrb- . Worth look at . +225 Video_Games POS 4 I be not much of a shoot 'em up and slash and burn type of gamer so this game really click well with I . I always print out the walkthrough and use it as a guide , but you really do not need any help because if you be stump , there be a help button that you can click to get lot of help with the puzzle . the graphic be great and the storyline believable . the ending be a bit anti-climactic , but I enjoy it overall . +470 Video_Games POS 5 I like the look of ac 3 and want to get catch up with the first two do by the correct studio do the third . ca not wait to get into these more . +763 Video_Games POS 5 this be the controller that the PS3 should have have from the start . the Sixaxis controller can not compare to it . besides have the rumble capability , the Dualshock 3 weigh about 40 % more and feel much more solid than the Sixaxis . battery life be excellent . I charge it every couple of week . if you own a PS3 , then this be the controller to have . +137 Video_Games POS 4 I dont like the concept of pay monthley for a game i already buy . so of course i never play a mmorpg . until now . why ? CUZ ITS FREE ... yes thats right . . its free ... ok , im assume you know how to play a rpg , its that with the option to play with other people . its kinda boring sometimes and repetitive but its ok , cuz the rpg element keep you play . the story be crap ... I didnt care for it , some bad voice act and some pretty good voice act . you wont remember the story after you play . . hell im still play it and I dont remember the story . the camera angel be bad and at the end of the month you feel this be a game for poor or the average income people . if you be rich and want a mmorpg , buy world of warcraft , I want soo much to play but im only 16 and itll take up almost all my allowence . +670 Video_Games POS 5 the Sims and they expansion be grate . i love the Sims , its soo much fun . its also grate fro kid because it can teach they about money and romance and all that grate stuff . I rate this a perfect 5 ! +299 Video_Games NEG 2 this game be not like the original battlefield or desert combat . no vehicle war whatsoever . only 32 player max . this game suck . +925 Video_Games POS 4 I love this game . my only complaint be that I do the digital download , and now can not play the game with steam . warning : if you want to play the game through steam -lrb- as a steam-registered game -rrb- , you will not be able to with the Digital Download . get steam achievement , authenticate collection , etc. will not be possible with the digital download purchase above . I be fairly sure that if you order the box copy , you will not miss out on the above . somewhat disappointing , but mostly just annoying . +467 Video_Games POS 5 this game be sooooo much fun !! for the family !! we highly rec . for everyone in the family . PS baahhh bahhhhhhhh bada daaaada da ... +922 Video_Games NEU 3 I buy this item about a week ago . it work good and be nice and quite compare to other cooler for the fat ps3 . but it do not secure and snap onto the ps3 like it should . it do not turn on and off with the console . Mine be still on ever since I put it on and have not shut off yet . I guess as long as it do what it be suppose to . it be ok . right ? good thing I be not picky . I just want to extend the life of my ps3 . decide for yourself . I would not buy this if you be go for quality . +153 Video_Games POS 5 ... suck up my time ! I be new to the PS3 and to FPS game . this be one of the first game I buy because it be cheap . I have only play the single player a couple of time , and while it be fun , I stop play after I go online . the online game be so much fun . I be horrible at it , but be really enjoy try to build up my point and get new accessory and gun . this game make have a job and kid really hard . I think about this game at work and can not wait until its the kid bedtime so I can play . haha the graphic and gameplay be great ! +479 Video_Games POS 5 this game turn I into a chess player in just two week of play every once in a while . this game may discourage people who think that chess be too hard to learn or people who think chess be for freak . this game be good for people who do not know a bishop from a knight because of the game 's build in tutor who teach you all you need to know and some technique I never expect he to cover . when play chess , capture be animated in a half battle chess , half joke you can find off loony tune style . for instance , when a bishop capture a queen , the bishop shoot a spell at the queen and the queen be shrink down to nothing . this game feature chess set from the Western and Pirates theme as well as a traditional chess set . Lego should not have discontinue this game . it be both fun and educational . Gosh , there be five word I would think I would never say in a row . +56 Video_Games NEG 2 I pick this up instead of the new medal of honor . the guy at Gamestop say it blow away mw2 and the new MOH . oh how wrong be he . First off , I be a very big campaign player . I play online sometimes when I get bore , but mostly I be into the campaign . mw2 's story line be far better than this one , yeah the campaign be cool and have its twist and turn but it be sub par in my opinion . I have see much better . graphic be good , but not great , a couple new weapon and feature be add that help out some . I be not go to spoil anything in the story for those of you who want to try it . online play be typical COD , more like WAW than MW though . it really would have be nice to see they do something longer and stop concentrate so much on the online ply . i understand that be where the money be at , but some people like both world . the only nice addition be the extra zombie game option , but its just like World at War game play wise so if you have WAW , save you money . instead of spending so much money on advertising this game with Kobe and Jimmy , they should have put it into the game . I can not believe I buy this . I be head to Gamestop now to trade in this so call great first person shooter . long story short , I should have buy medal of honor . +59 Video_Games POS 5 i never really play it when it originally come out , because i be to young , but now that i have it , im glad i do . this be why nintendo make remake so people like I can play the game we miss out on +284 Video_Games POS 5 this be simply one of the best game I have ever play . I think it would be kind of dull with only 1 major weapon , but this game be great . this be the best game that LucasArts have ever put out . you will not be disappoint . +889 Video_Games POS 4 when I buy this game the sale price be cheaper then buy a remote seperatly . so I buy it for the remote . however my family have enjoy the game . +736 Video_Games POS 5 buy this for my grandson for he d . he be very happy with it . it have lot of room for he system and extra game . help he to keep all he d thing together . +697 Video_Games POS 4 story-i enjoy the story , much like ff12 with the corrupted government genre . the only drawback be the Cieth , which I feel be write into the plot as a last minute explanation for Hunts . as with a regular jrpg , part of the story be heavily soak in melodrama and might make american gamer cringe . the ending be a `` eh ... Ok '' sort of feeling but tie up loose end . Voice Acting-Great voice act , the voice suit the character nicely , yes even Vanille . a upbeat cheerful character get a upbeat cheerful voice . the character from pulse get a english accent be a nice subtle touch too . graphics\/sound-stunning environment and in-game cut scene , even the menu screen be sleek and futuristic-looking . Quality expect from the Playstation system as well as past ff game . gameplay-those who want to finish every mission and pick up every item will find themselves play for a long while . the main plot be relatively short , as Square expect you to continue play past the end credit , unlike past ff game which do not let you save . possibly the most addictive part of this game be the battle system as long as you do not keep mash Auto-Battle . frankly the Auto-Battle feel like a cheap blow to my pride when I first see it . last thoughts-obviously this ff13 be gear to bring in those who have never play ff game before . usually know for they storyline , 13 's be only decent . graphic be excellent , but only to be expect from the ff franchise . I would wait for the price to drop before pick this up and save my money for Versus . +904 Video_Games POS 5 product be ship withij the promise time frame . it come new as promise in a unopened and undamaged package . I be very satisfied . +549 Video_Games POS 5 I love this game ! ice Cap be REALLY cool , along with Twinkle Park . when you enter Twinkle Park , you have to get in a bumper car and drive down a long but fun road . it have ton of loop and hairpin curve ... drool . and the ending of Ice Cap be cool , where you have to snowboard down the mountain to avoid a avalanche and then skid down and grab the Emerald on you way . the Storyline : Sonic be return to Station Square after a long journey and run across a liquid monster name Chaos . you have to fight he , and he turn into a puddle and slip down the sewer . then he be at the beach and see tail in he new plane , out of control . you have to get through Emerald Coast to save he . tail show Sonic a Purple Chaos Emerald -lrb- if they be emerald , why be just the Ice Cap one green ? O. o -rrb- and tell he it be the power source of he new plane . then he tell Sonic to meet he at he shop in the Mystic ruin . sonic arrive , but he be stop by Robotnik and have to fight he . I forget the rest , but at one point you have to fight Knuckles . when you be Amy , the end be pretty sad : e-102 die and the bird 's family fly away with the bird . Chao : the Chao , also know as a-life , be little blue and green coo thing that remind many sonic fan of Tamagotchi . you have to feed they and let they sleep . you 'll notice that when you attack a enemy in a Action Stage , a animal inside a green bubble float out . grab the animal , and when you go to the Chao Garden the animal you collect will fly out . hold one up to a Chao and after glowing green , it 'll get a characteristic of the animal . only animal that have spark fly from they do this , though . if you give you Chao enough animal , -lrb- 20 once , 50 the second time . -rrb- it 'll sit down and form a white cocoon around it . the cocoon will fade and the Chao will look different and be a different color . if you Chao be limp or if you hurt it a lot , it will make a cocoon and die . so , all in all , this game rule ! +814 Video_Games NEG 1 if you buy this drm-infested game , you can only install it three time - after that , you have to call a hotline to activate it again . you do not buy but rent it , but only for the full buying price . no thanks , this be rip of the customer . we do not need this , instead buy another game that let you do what you want with it . +835 Video_Games NEU 3 like most avid sim fan . I eagerly await this release . strong word of caution . my own stupidity for not realize this , but this game be not available in cd-rom . so if you pc do not have a dvd drive , you be out of luck . I purchase mine at Walmart , because the description on what be require state cd-rom drive . sure the box clearly state dvd , and I should have catch that , but I just could not bring myself to think that the genuise at Microsoft assume everyone have a dvd drive in they pc right . anyway , the catch 22 be that once you open the software , the retailer will not take it back , so you be stick with a useless $ 50.00 game you can not use . to be fair , I do finally find a number at Microsoft to call for product return and get a authorization to return it and in about a month I might get my money back . Buyer beware , do not be as dumb as I . if you only have a CD drive , you be out of luck on this game , Microsoft do not think you be worth they trouble . +513 Video_Games POS 5 I be a little worried because some reviewer complain that modification be need to work properly . my item work perfectly right out of the box . now I can see the video use hdmus and listen to the sound use my surround system . +401 Video_Games NEG 1 -lrb- review edit -rrb- disappoint !!!!!!! the 1.4 patch have break the 360 . i dont know how many player have experience this but my game now lock up completely . im at level 57 and i cant progress any further . to make thing worse it corrupt my 360 and give it the rrod ... let I say i have no issue with my 360 performance prior to skyrim and the new patch . once i get my 360 repair i will not download ANY of the patch 's . i will play directly from the disc ... i will change my overall rating to 1 star . Bethesda fix the PS3 issue but they break the 360 game ...

I also believe it hold they better than my other controller , provide positive feedback as to the charge status -lrb- and when it be do -rrb- and have a power button -lrb- my other one do not and thus be always drain electricity -rrb- . +330 Video_Games POS 5 just a few thing I have not see mention in other review . rechargable battery vs. weight - I purchase Energizer Rechargable NiMH battery specifically for we Wii Remotes . they be a little pricey but they last a impressive amount of time per change . during a trip to a friend 's house with the Wii in tow one pair happen to die , so he find some traditional coppertop to replace they with . the weight difference be insane . in game like Wii Sports tennis where controller swing timing be crutial it feel like it make a difference . 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 Player ? - we have notice when run 4 Wii remote at a time they tend to jump around as to which Remote be actually which number of player . you may exit a game that you be just player 3 on , the third blue light on you remote be light , but you hand onscreen be red and have a 2 in it . it do not affect gameplay really , but tend to be frustrating consider we be talk about the most expensive `` standard '' controller on the market now . Wish there be a independant off switch - ready to play , just grab a remote and push the a button -lrb- or 1 and 2 simultaneously -rrb- to have it attempt to begin communicate with the Wii . but when not it use you almost have to place it on a alter all by itself , so it do not happen to sit face down constantly try to sync , and drain you battery . +113 Video_Games NEG 1 I buy the hard copy version -lrb- with the cd and case and whatnot -rrb- and I be still force to download the game through Origin and that be after a hour of customer support try to figure out why . so now I be stare at 2 perfectly good and useless cd -lrb- with about 8 gig of info on they -rrb- while -lrb- accord to origin -rrb- it will take 9 hour for the download to complete and then I be not even sure if I can run it . such a disappointment . this game be start on such a lousy note that I be not even sure I be look forward to play it . +313 Video_Games POS 5 I be hype for this game because I be a classic ne fanboy . the haunting , but simple blip and bleep s of 8-bit soundtrack remind I of the comfort of youth and the happiness of new game , if not any fond family memory , of which I have none . Nintendo be my best friend and babysitter in my early teens and go forward . now , I be usually leave handed but I adapt well to the control scheme and beat this game on level 7 intensity . it sound simple and boring , a rail shooter mix in with some ground combat . but it be not . also , the nonstop dialogue be entertaining and go on almost every moment of every level , and be silly . it be great , I be currently obsess with multiplayer online combat and get 100 % completion of the game , I be not too far off . there be nothing more satisfying than conspire with friend about a win light Vs. dark strategy and then destroy some poor japanese kid . +140 Video_Games POS 5 this game be fun and challenging and also make you pay attention to what you do . i buy the game and there be no problem with it +419 Video_Games POS 5 it can be use for you tv and computer and you xbox almost anything but be the best on the xbox +248 Video_Games POS 5 work well its pretty much the same as the old one but supposedly `` better and faster '' i dont see any difference , the only reason i buy one be because my white network adapter get a short circuit and microsoft refuse to take any ownership in the fail of they product . i figure i spend 100 dollar on the original white one that short on I why should i spend another 60 for one that will fail as well . i purchase the new one in hope it would be better and not fail after 6short month , it hasnt yet after 3 so i guess it do what its suppose to . if you have the ability though you be better off connect straight into you moderm via ethernet cable . if you can do that dont waste you money , if youre like I and cant then go ahead and buy this one or the white one , not much of a difference as far as i can see . +920 Video_Games POS 5 I personally hate compare game to one and another , I believe if you be a fan of that particular game genre then play it and enjoy it for what it be . however with call of Duty game it be hard not to compare , there be so much to live up to . I know this be not Infinity Ward and also not Modern Warfare 3 but they do set the bar very high when it come to military fp . so the question be , do black op live up to its predecessor ? the answer of course , be yes it do ! come on ! do we really need to review this game , be there really any doubt ! if you be a fan of call of Duty : Modern Warfare 1 and 2 then you 'll really enjoy this game . honestly I enjoy black op just as much and in some case more . in a nutshell , the graphic be beautiful , the action amazing and the story be entertain to say the least . Controls be great and very fluid and if you have ever play any other FPS you 'll feel right at home , and if you have not its very easy to pick up from the start . Multiplayer have be revamp , include everything that make Modern Warfare great plus fix some of the thing that do not . my only complaint would be the match making , I wish it would match people more by they skill level and not randomly . it be worth the price and -lrb- not to sound like a commercial LOL -rrb- if you only buy one game this year , this should be it . now stop read review and go pick up the game so you can start blow thing up ! by the way , if you see I online follow I around because I be a easy kill . I suck really bad , so right now let I say ; you be welcome for the kill streak ! Mike PSN & Xbox Live gamer tag be MikeJMele +102 Video_Games POS 5 Flight simulator 2004 its great . . so much fun and educative , this f 2004 run great on my vaio laptop with the logitech attack 3 joystick that I also buy for it , which I highly reccomend it for this purpose . . I have be use f since 12 or 13 year ago . . I remember my brother teaching I some very helpful basics lesson about navigation and all that stuff since he be a private pilot . . this 2004 f have lot of improvement from the 98 f . . its more of what I expect . . I which they have include the airbus 340 but its ok . . b777 and 747 be very challen . . you will have a lot of fun and a lot of learn from this software . . 5 star for f 2004 , and great service from amazon too . . +778 Video_Games POS 5 just to let you all know , I have play the japanese version of the Crystal game . and , put simply , it be a great game . it have several new feature that make it seem much more `` real '' . you mother have a friend over when you walk out of you room at the beginning . Professor Elm be now work at a computer and get the message from Mr. Pokemon right as you visit he . the Pokemon all have neat little animation you see when you run into they . some new item , the chance to catch Celebi , and be able to be a girl all make it more fun . -lrb- and , eh-heh , the girl be quite the looker for supposedly be ten year old . -rrb- as yellow do to Red and Blue , a mixture of the g\/s pokemon be find in Crystal . I advise any die-hard fan -lrb- or even those that just want a new game to test -rrb- pick it up and give it a shot . +886 Video_Games NEG 2 in short . this be a lot of cut scene , occasionally interupt by a game . if I just want to sit back and watch , I would have rent amovie . ban all cut scene . +979 Video_Games POS 5 this be my favorite game in recent memory . when Super Mario Galaxy be first release , I be skeptical about purchase it . I love Super Mario 64 but I think Super Mario Sunshine be familiar and gimmicky so I have priorly assume that there be not any gas leave in the Mario franchise tank . boy be I wrong . to summarize the game , it be at its core a collection of puzzle . the completion of each puzzle award you with star . collect enough star , and you win the game . it sound mundane , but complete each individual puzzle and collect the star have the charm of , say , complete a sudoku puzzle or the daily crossword . but unlike do consecutive sudoku puzzle , the quest to earn each star in Mario Galaxy be so fantastically diverse and mind-bendingly innovative , you 'll have a hard time put you controller down . it stem from the absolutely brilliant and imaginative way the designer use the gravity mechanic in the game - the direction of gravity be constantly change , Mario will be flip upside down , and you 'll have a wonderful time manipulate the game . I should address another issue that give I pause before I buy the game . I have fear from the trailer and preview that either the game would merely involve jump from tiny planet to tiny planet , kill one or two enemy on each one and collect a few coin ; or that the space setting would quickly grow tiresome -lrb- like the sun-shiny setting of Sunshine before it -rrb- . fear not - true some level involve blast from small space object to small space object . but there be tremendous diversity from planet jump puzzle -lrb- which be much more fun than I have anticipate -rrb- to large sprawl landscape to explore much like in Super Mario 64 . further , travel the different planet give Mario the opportunity to visit diversely theme planet - such as you standard green grass setting to fire , ice , desert , water , volcano , etc. setting . so in conclusion , if you be skeptical like I about Galaxy , let I assure you it be well worth try out . +945 Video_Games POS 5 the game be fun . pure and simple . the bunny be amusing and the fly dragon take concentration and work . the ice slide be outstanding and , again , take patience . if the game be too easy , people would complain ... if it be too hard ... people will complain . bottom line be - you can not please they all . but the way they make the character switch be a good , solidly easy play . I be look forward to the next one . great job , guy & girl . +115 Video_Games POS 5 this be one of the best game I have ever play . if you play the first Kingdom Hearts and think that be fun , wait until you play this one . it be amazing . the storyline be wonderful and keep you wonder how everything happen . the game start off slow and make you think the first one be better , but once you get pass the begin it get so much more fun than the first one . I definitely recommend play this . +968 Video_Games POS 5 even better than unchartered 2 pro : - good mix of different style of game play - really enjoy the chase or run part where you have to time thing right in order to finish the sequence or get out alive . - good deal of be pin down and have to shoot you way out which be intense and fun . - good mix of bad guy and the need to pick up and use different weapon in different situation . - fantastic and entertaining story line . - transition from movie clip directly into game play be fantastic . con : - I do wish there be more puzzle solve . I enjoy the part where you have to reference the journal towards the beginning of the game , but that seem to go away towards the end . I also wish the puzzle be a little more complex or the clue be more difficult to solve . but do not get I wrong - I be not leave unsatisfied with this game . best game I have play in year . -lrb- note : I play on normal setting . -rrb- +229 Video_Games POS 5 the bundle pack be the way to purchase this item and wait until to see the best pricing ! it be well worth it . +777 Video_Games NEG 2 so I be a long standing fan of the Super Smash Bros series . I play the first game and its what get I hook on the series and the second one be just as well make and think out . it be a game series that perfect the strategic fighting genre where you could ambush you enemy use the terrain against they and create all kind of manic mayhem . that be say I would have to say of the series melee be probably my favorite , the level design throughout the series have always be incredible and one of the main focus 's of the game . . the new game seem a little bit off unfortunately , in the previous series different character really have a distinct feel to they when you play they they jump differently move differently , fall differently some of they be even just harder to kill due to how the AI control they , for instance I and my friend always use to comment on how Fox 's greatest strength be that he would not die and be rediculously hard to kill . one of the first thing i notice about brawl be how different the camera be compare to the previous game . the camera be much farther out in this game make you character much smaller in the scheme of thing , this isnt really a change I like but it wasnt a game killer . one of the other thing I find frustrate about the game be that alot of the character and button mapping have be tweak to simplify the game it seem . . now that be say I no longer have game cube controller to play this on and the game didnt really feel right be play with the wius mote or even the wius classic controller . maybe im alone in this but the entire game feel slightly off in comparison to the last two game . the level seem less innovative and more frantic , the stupid float ship level for instance be rediculous , Alot of the new character didnt really feel unique or engaging from any of the other character currently in the game . yes I can say that this game have its fun momment and it be fun to play a few time when company and friend be over , but Melee for I be scathingly addictive and every character be fun to play and really learn how they work and how they feel to control . this game as a whole feel like less time and effort be put into it , it feel like they just throw it together and new that people would line up and buy it . SO basically I would say this game be only fun if you have 3 or 4 people to play it with you otherwise its pretty boring . the other two feel pretty solid and have some what of a entertaining single player experience and feel to they . +151 Video_Games POS 5 i love this game and it be so much fun for I to play . if you love baseball and want a game to play that fun and easy than this be it . i love that it so easy for I to play . hope this help . bye : -rrb- p.s. i love baseball to death . +286 Video_Games POS 4 if you own a xbox 360 , and you want to play Xbox Live , this be a great product to have . +712 Video_Games POS 5 I buy this for my grandson for Christmas . the game be highly like by the 16 year old , but he 10 year old brother be not so fond of it . so , while it be a great game for teens , younger kid might prefer something else . +371 Video_Games POS 5 this review be by my preteen , Emily : it be my favorite ds game ever ! also , my family think it be really fun , too ! but they prefer the wius game . my little sister and I also like to hit wireless connection on d 's to play together , I recommend this game to anyone , it be : 1 . super fun 2 . lot of awesome character 3 . cool racetrack 4 . it be super fun to race friends\/family ! 5 . unlock everthing , and get special character and prize , like trophy ! to race , the only problem be that u need to hold down the a button the whole entire time ur racing . to move , simply use the + contrl pad . to get a dice block to get a trap to use on people , just run through it and it magically give u a trap ! to use it , hit any of the button to set it in front\/behind you . note : u can not choose whether it go behind u or in front . but if u race right into a trap , it will slow u down ! how to win : the object be to race to the finish line 1rst . trap can slow people down so u can get ahead , or stay ahead ! tip : to get ahead in the beginning : just simply dont hold down a until the number 3 ... 2 go . then , right after it say 2 , that when u hold down a and go ! u will get a speed boost ! hope this be helpful !! +226 Video_Games POS 5 my husband buy this game , and completely enjoy it ! he love the action and the whole pirate theme . the only problem he have be that we anti-virus cause the game to crash at the start up . we have AVG free edition , and switch to the Avast -lrb- free edition -rrb- . that fix the crash . the company that sell the game deliver the disk in a quick amount of time and in good condition . very happy with the purchase . : -rrb- +10 Video_Games POS 5 my bud give I so much hype about this system so i buy it ... here be my thought the game be pretty pricey and there not really that good such as steel diver , pilot wing , pokemon rumble blast . if you go to buy a game i recomend you review it first : -lrb- the game that have come out that be good . be just remake into 3d effect such as star fox , zelda , splinter cell , metal gear , street fighter . its not a bad thing but its something that can be improve . they be all good game but nintedo be a smart company ... come on guy hit I with something new . : -lrb- although classic game be avaible for download there not offerd in 3d which be sorta odd : -lrb- the 3d can be hard to adjust to at time and its sometimes pointless in game -lrb- splinter cell , sonic gen -rrb- : \/ the ar card be briliant and add new spice to gaming . : d the camrea be amazing . theres a sd card that come with it so you can save on you pc . : -rrb- not really a big thing ... buttttt there no more picto chat : \/ mii plaza be a cool way to meet new people ... but other than a couple of minus game -lrb- find mii , puzzle -rrb- its nothing to brag about . : \/ its not to bad of a system im just glad i wait till the price drop . +200 Video_Games POS 5 be a tyrant . be a priest . kill em ' all . protect the weak . or you could just sit back and be a bum . this be life w \/ magic and shit +869 Video_Games POS 4 I review a handful of kinect workout game before pick this one base on overall review and screenshot . I be pretty impress with it . there be a pretty good variety of workout and I like how there be not a long pause between exercise like on the Wii . I would definitely buy it again . the main thing I would like to see to improve on it would be to work in some game to make the workout more fun . +891 Video_Games POS 5 I buy this game for my boyfriend 's birthday and he love it . the game be in very great condition and it ship with impeccable timing . +767 Video_Games POS 5 this game be one my favorite . the graphic and detail be good and quite entertaining . it seem that the game be innitially create with younger people in mind , but I be 22 and I enjoy play . it start out easier at the begin like most game and gradually get more challenging as you work up the higher level . there be some level which still kick my butt -- I be ashamed to admit . what I like about it be there be a lot of free range adventure where Spyro be able to roam about seek out hidden treasure and place . not everything you look for be readily obvious . I would recommend this game for anybody who like adventure and level type fantasy game without all the blood and gut . it be also a really great game for kid as there be no profanity or anything of the like involve . +380 Video_Games NEG 1 when I get my action replay of course I be excite and it fun to use it , but after my first week of have it , it break . when I put the action replay in my dsus with a game the screen come up white . so , I look up how to fix it and it seem like a lot of other people have this problem and could not fix it . so I would not recommend this to anybody . +491 Video_Games NEG 2 never do I own a game before that require steam . to play the game you have to log into Steam to launch . so why do I buy a dvd and get force to use steam ? shortly after join Steam so I could play since I already open the package and could not return it now I get a notice from Steam that they have be hack and may have lose customer information . that really give I the warm and fuzzy . as far as the game it actually load on Windows 7 x64 unlike Fallout 3 that work fine on Vista but would not load when I upgrade . the mouse movement and graphic seem really jerky . I try to use a XBOX 360 wireless controller only to find out I need a $ 20 adapter . so i try a pc joystick and I do not seem to do anything ... as far as gameplay , it have not manage to keep I envolve . I keep walk away and come back later . I have just find my way to the keep after have to repeat the open many time . at the moment I have to call it disappointing hopefully I 'll make it thru all the intial b and learn to like the game ... just may take a while ... +585 Video_Games POS 5 I would read the Nancy Drew book when I find out about the game . for my birthday I want the game and I go on Amazon . the ratind be good so I decide I would get this game . it be really fun . even though the game be make for girl my brother and he friend really like it . my brother would make I play it when I get up -lrb- I be only allow on the computer on weekend -rrb- . so I say the game be a COOL COOL FANTASTIc GAME !!! +849 Video_Games NEG 1 when we get just Dance 2 , we whole family be excite . we have love and music and move in just Dance . we open and have some friend over and put it in . the music be `` lame '' accord to the kid and not as much fun . we still use it and it be play but there be just not as much excitement for just Dance 2 . +132 Video_Games POS 5 this game be huge . it go on and on without repetition . many unique weapon and upgrade . wonderful story line . no wonder it be vote best first person shooter of the year . +949 Video_Games POS 5 word can not express how incredible this game be ! I want to start this review by come in with a bit of a background on myself . I first get into elder scroll when I hear about skyrim be release in 2011 when it be 2010 . honestly , it look great . so I pick up oblivion because I think that would give I a idea . now many may disagree with I . but I be not too impressed with oblivion . I have some fun , but I be scare a lot from explore , and the main quest with the oblivion gate be terrifying . I put in many 10 hour into that game before I call it quit . so when skyrim first come out . I wait just a bit to hear about . I be then fortunate enough to get it as a Christmas gift and even the first scene just blow I away . for return fan , this have -lrb- for I at least -rrb- every aspect of oblivion that I do like , and everything else be near perfection . this game be the most true to a rpg theme than any other . from the start you can truly do whatever you want , whenever you , however you want , as whoever you want . the race create a great mix of culture and dispute , with different benefit and like to you character . the universe be immense and you completely fall into this beautiful world of conflict and distress . the most amazing thing . if you pick up this game , you have just pick up at least 50 hour of entertainment . over the course of 3-4 month . I have play over 100 hour of this game . it be mind blowing . how be a game capable of such a defeat ? the quest be great , and you do not even have to do the main quest if you do not want , and the guild quest will be just as intense and lengthy as the main quest , so you have plenty of fun . every skill be improve base off how you use it . be you into stealth ? sneak around , pick lock and pocket and you will get better as you go . more of a brute ? collect heavy armor and some strong weapon and take the enemy 's head on and become the strongest man\/woman in skyrim . it have a adaptional feature , so it really customize the game to you liking . and you can even build you own weapon and armor with the smithing skill . and for the first time magic be as strong as the other lifestyle . so you can finally live as a mage if you like magic . and learn at a college ! it be phenomenal ! if you a fan of medival castle age or fantasy , you could not ask for a better game . it be simplly perfect . on a scale to 1-10 I would give it a 9.8 and the only reason it be not perfect , be because there be a few bug . I have not experience as many as there supposedly be . but I can not ignore they , and for that reason it be not a perfect ten . but it be as close as one can get . it be a very open world game , and rumor have it that a expansion pack like dlc be to come soon that may even open up the old word of morrowind or cyrodill -lrb- previously release title in the series with a new gen touch -rrb- which I be unbelievably excite for . I can not stress enough how amazing this game be . even if it do not sound like you kind of game because of violence or quest , just try it , and see for yourself , because you want be able to drop it once you try it ! +2 Video_Games NEU 3 this product be definately not all it be crack up to be although the main thing for I be the trigger be not as nice as standard xbox trigger . 3.5 \/ 5 +416 Video_Games POS 5 I do not actually own this game yet but play it at a friend house . it be very challenging and take a little bit to understand what all the power mean but once you get the hang of it you can play for hour without realize it . +739 Video_Games POS 5 I can not even say enough about how much I love this game . if you love Michael and he music you will love this game ! the developer go all out on this game and it show . I do not even like or play dancing game but I go out and bring this one and I be blow away buy it . I love how they incorporate almost everything from Michael 's video 's and adapt it to the song . this game could of be so wrong but it come out so right ! I be glad this be not another step on stage and sync with I game . no , this game be Michael at he best do what he do best . I get the special edition with the infamous glove and it be worth it . fun to play with friend and family I can not think of a single complaint about the game . it be Michael , he music , and you dance to it . +537 Video_Games POS 5 wonderful toy -- allow for creativity and family-fun and definitely not a violent video game . allow for constructive use of Wii and lot of options\/activities . I would purchase this again as a gift . well worth the month +645 Video_Games NEG 1 pc version lock up at about 80 % of mission completion . no fix and no response from the publisher . once you have spend the money , you be stick with it . +908 Video_Games POS 4 get it promptly , but the thing actually have a crack\/indentation in it . of the two port , one work perfectly , while for the second , it do not seem to support the analog function of a controller at all -lrb- but the other button get though -rrb- . very tempt to return it and get another one , because it definitely work , but mine come slightly break in the mail . +235 Video_Games POS 4 overall I like it . the right knob where you can adjust the tension help a lot in aim . I also like how the tension reduce the likely hood of you push down to hard and then melee or crouch if play call of duty . I do not like how the trigger be place so close to the right bumper as well as the shape of the trigger , both of which make you push the right bumper accidentally to much . I also think you could remap all the button , but it be just the two new bumper . another advantage this controller be how the color button be easier to push . +452 Video_Games NEU 3 first off I just like to say I be sort of a fable fanboy . love fable 1 , like fable 2 , and now I tolerate fable 3 . fable 3 for all it be `` Revolution '' talk be not very revolutionary when it come to define itself as a epic rpg . I pre-order the collector 's edition and as usual Amazon give the best deal and I have 20 dollar credit which I 'll probably use on pre-ordering Dragon age 2 . the card and coin be cool as well as the clever way it look but they could have add a bit more maybe a developer 's commentary or making of the game dvd , etc. . anyone who preorder just for a certain special weapon would have loss out because you can beat this game by the default weapon you get at the beginning . I do not , but it be so easy you definately could . while this game be good , it be certainly not gonna make you top game of all time list . the pro of the game be the look and feel of the game along with the voice act . great atmosphere but the story be more or less just okay . I love how they add new combat finisher such as with the hammer crush skull and batting smaller enemy like hobbe like baseball . this happen randomly and be much more fun to watch then you continual hack and slash . however , they take away lop off head which I think be cool in the second one so I guess it cancel out ... sort of . the magic be do nicely and the combat as well but once again the combat be just too easy as have be the case in previous fable . I beat the game without get knock down once and plenty of potion and food to keep you nice and safe . just too easy . I guess Lionhead be try to expand it be customer to younger player or just everyone in general but eventually they be gonna lose out on hard core gamer if they have not already . be king be also nothing special and the segment between be king and the final battle feel really really short and the decision be not all that special and rememberable . and speaking of the final battle ... meh be all I have to say . it be better then fable 2 at least where there practically be no boss battle . Reaver shoot the dude for I before I could think of kill he . ca not remember he name that be how lame that be and I be sure I 'll forget about this easily forgettable boss in fable 3 . the money system be garbage as it too be way too easy to obtain and again the weapon and they `` bonus '' be worthless because you gonna have no trouble beat this with whatever weapon you find . there be not enough enemy to keep it interesting and ironically the one enemy in the fable series that be decently hard , at least early on , be the troll and they remove they from fable 3 . alas I love rpg but with game like Dragon age and mass effect among other fable be really start to dissapoint . it be good but not sixty buck good . try to get it cheaper or rent it as you could probably beat it really fast . take I awhile just because I like to collect all the item . yes I be obsessive like that . not sure I 'll get the next fable unless they make a good number of fix . I be a fan of the world but this game be too hyped and once again do not live up to it be potential . +771 Video_Games POS 5 Nintendo . when you hear the word you automatically think of videogame . why be that you may ask , because the rock the industry in the 80 's and 90 's take down all competition that stand in the way -lrb- atarus , NEC , SEGA , NEOGEO , PANASONIC ETC -rrb- why be it that none of those company produce videogame system no more , because of the software they have , there target market and the fact they couldnt be trust like nintendo . now onto today issue , why choose a gamecube ? well let see there 1st party game be all classic and the newer title from there second party be unbelievable . need some example well let start with zelda , the best rpg to date for about 17 year this game have be go strong , just get better , next we have metroid prime which have the best graphic of any game for any system . they we have we best friend Mario in mario sunshine , along with he brother Luigi in Luigis mansion . then we have mario party , super smash brother , waverace , pikmin , eternal darkness , animal cross , mickey mouse in magical mirror , NBA courtside . in that group alone metroid prime win game of the year in america and zelda win game of the year in japan . so this be the ultimate gaming machine when it come to game . as for adult title that isue be now dead , nintendo have so many now , resident evil 0,1,2,3,4 , eternal darkness , dead to rights , die hard , and bmx xxx which contain nudity and yet the ps2 which supposedly have all adult game take out the nudity . hmmm real adult sony . as for the system itself it come in three color as of right now , other color that may come out be orange , magenta , and gold which show we nintendo likes to give we option to express ourselves and match we room a appliance . the controller be by far better fitting and more responsive than the ps2 and x box one and yea i know this cause i have use all three , it have about 200 game so far , not as big as ps2 but ps2 have be out a year earlier then the cube , and x box have a pitifull showing of game so far . as for add on you have a broadband and dial up modem , for use with phantasy star so far , you can hook up you game boy advance to the cube to swap information or use the gba as a controller , and finally they be make the game boy advance player which hook up to the bottom of the cube so you can play all you gameboy game on tv , so now you have over a thousand game to choose from , much larger than sony . the system use minus dvd to stop pirate company from bootleg nintendo software , which be good so that nintendo can keep there price low on game . this system do not play dvd and that a good thing cause you be buy a vidogame system not a dvd player . and finally the cost of the system be 150 buck as compare to the competitior at 200 . also nintendo be the first company to produce a actuall wireless controller that work call the wavebird , which be a must have , this thing work throw wall and the battery last over 100 hour . above all else why this system , its simple really a huge variety of game for child a adult as compare to the competitor who focus only on adult , as well as a company we all grow up on and that we can trust , and as for the future of game , you have metroid prime 2 , kirby air ride , mario golf , mario tennis , too human , animal crosing 2 , pikmin2 another zelda and the game that will rock the world mario kart . so go get one now , and as for all the other fanboy for the other system , NINTENDO SALES be up , the mature game be here now , most people dont CARE ABOUT ONLINE GAMES SO you can shove that garbage , SONYS TITLES and MICROSOFTS be horrible as COMPARED to NINTENDO TITLES so give up the trash talk . when u hear of ps2 all you hear about be well we get gta3 and vice city , well congrat to you , you have 2 good game . and microsoft all you hear be we have halo , and halo 2 be come soon , well congrat to you and you 2 game . metroid prime destroy halo and gta vice city in the graphic and gameplay department , and prime 2 will destroy halo 2 and anything else sony can get exclusive for they . wow i destroy all 4 of there good game with 2 good game , i should use the rest to crush you heart like resident evil 0 , and one graphic which annihalate x box graphic and wait until part4 be out then what will be the excuse and ps2 have no good game to even compare those game too , not even devil may cry . so in close nintendo own this industry hand down . +344 Video_Games POS 4 okay okay ... a new rpg for gamecube . for the firt couple of week , this title be flawless . but then it start get repettive . it get boring . there be nothing else to do , I have complete everything worth complete . if the Sims appeal to you , then rent this game . otherwise , save you -lrb- money -rrb- . +422 Video_Games NEU 3 my grandson get frustrated with some of the game because they be too hard for he also for a adult . he love Cars and very excite to play it but it be not easy and just give up after not be able to complete the game . +415 Video_Games POS 5 have you ever see a 3 year old addict ?

I be not get Amalur Carpal tunnel , nor be I boring my way through final Fantasy autocombat . there be not a lot of micromanage in combat , so unless you have some tandem move , the AI be go to take and keep control of you minion . you can configure you minion AI to a extent , though not on the fly . also , since it isnt list anywhere - you can change the vocation of you main character and main pawn , and change back to any unlock vocation with no lose progress . -lrb- if I max out my main pawn as a fighter , then change he to a wizard , he 'll go right back to be a max out fighter should I change he back -rrb- . the Pawn Mechanic be definately what set the game apart . you 'll learn new tactic from visit pawn , and you main pawn will benefit while in other people game . since visit pawn dont level up with you , you 'll need to continually shop around for the ` perfect ' pawn to accompany you . you can rate a pawn and gift the owner on the release of one , and it be do in a pretty complimentary manner . if you lack a internet connection , there be already a large number of pawn ingame for recruiting . the graphic be pretty solid , voice acting be ok . the story be not this big gripping epic , it be a backdrop to start you off and to eventually finish you with . everything that come between be standard wow quest fare . there be no real multiplayer to speak of , but you 'll need a internet connection to access the pawn create by other player , and the group effort fight like the Ur-Dragon . the camera like to hide you . . not nearly as much as Amalur , but it be there . the quest\/map interface be a little clunky , but still serviceable . it also autoformat into widescreen , so you may be stick with formatting bar . +810 Video_Games POS 5 to be perfectly honest , I do not own the Action Replay , though I would like to . I be only review to let the uninformed buyer know that they should ignore the two people who give the Action Replay a bad review . this ` christina swan ' person I can forgive , as she apparently do not know much about game system . I 'll tell you now , a cheat system CAN NOT ruin the game system itself . I own a gameshark for the n64 , and I know that the dumbest thing you can do with one of those be to put in a bunch of random character and hope it be a good code , and even then , the worst you could do be ruin the gameshark itself . if you want my opinion , the kid probably leave the Gamecube open too long , let dust or something get on the laser reader , block the laser and render the Gamecube unable to read disc . that happen to I before , the guy who do the repair say that happen a lot with laser-disk base game system like Gamecube and ps2 . as for the I hate ACTION REPLAY guy , I be gonna have to come up with a list for you : - the code be a bunch of number and letter , it take you over two hour to put in one code . \* these code be mean to actually change how the Gamecube read the game , so you can keep the health meter stick on full and stuff like that . can you appreciate how much programming code be use to pull off something like that ? feel lucky you only have to put in a few letter and number . and as for the two hour , can you say exaggeration !?! I really doubt it would take even the slowest gamer that long to put in code . besides , learn to put a little effort into what you do . - code only give you stuff like infinite life and extra character , who in they right mind would want that junk on they game ? \* oh , for the love of ... it be a cheat system . you be suppose to \* gasp \* cheat with it !! who in they right mind would want that on they game , you ask ? everyone but you , apparently . - the price be too much ... it should be less . \* it be worth how much it cost the company to make it , plus some for profit . if you do not like it , do not whine to everyone on Amazon about it . - also it do not work on my super nintendo . \* oh my ... I be sorry , I do not know you have mental problem . you see , kid , a system that be make for a Gamecube usually work on a Gamecube , not the Super Nintendo . they be completely different system , you see . - Datel can not make cheat system , they should jump off a bridge . \* I hate to stoop to you level , but here go : consider you argument , I think the world would be do a much better favor if you be to jump off a bridge . a high one . that happen to be over a pile of jagged rock . Actully , that feel pretty good . anyway , last one : - do not buy this ... instead go by the amazing etch-a-sketch . \* why ? if a person be look for a cheat system , how would a toy draw pad help they ? and , no offence to you etch-a-sketch fan , but I do not see what be so amazing about it . please come up with a decent argument next time . if anyone want to argue about this some more , feel free to e-mail or something , especially if you happen to be anything like this I hate ACTION REPLAY guy .

Mine do not come with either of those thing , but it do come with the wrist strap . I wish the seller would make it more clear -lrb- or maybe just more consistent ? -rrb- so it would not feel like a gamble . I get 2 for my 7 year old as a Christmas gift , so if the wrist strap be not include I would have to go out and buy they ; I want the rubber jacket too , so I might go out and buy those . but the accessory be the only issue . they be label as `` use - very good '' and they be in perfect condition . same color as picture . we have not use they yet , so I can not attest to they gameplay . the accessory confusion be the only reason I do not give it 5 star -lrb- I do not like to gamble -rrb- . +365 Video_Games POS 5 keep in mind that while I buy this game at launch , I make sure to play through the first one before give this a go . I also have other game on my plate and as such I just beat this a few day ago . if you have a decent computer , you will soon realize that this be one of the best look game available . my computer be run it a little slow at first . then , I update my driver . apparently the game be only recognize one of my card . with both in tow , I be run thing very smoothly . I turn off the motion blur effect to gain a decent amount of fp and after that the game never rarely seem to get below 30 fp . here be my relevant computer spec : 2.7 ghz triple core AMD 8gb ram 2x radeon hd 4870 as far as the gameplay go , I will not lie , it be very difficult when you first start out . soon you start to get better gear and better ability and by the end of the game it be only a challenge in the biggest boss fight . the great story , voice acting , and cinematic scope make I stick with it in spite of the difficulty and I feel extremely reward . after play through once , I feel I would fare much better the second time around . this game have more replayability than any game I know , as there be area , story , and quest you would not even come in contact with depend on a major choice you make around 15 hour in . it be one of the best rpg 's out there . just remember to be patient , save often , and do not give up . you 'll be happy in the end . +255 Video_Games POS 5 this game be awesome ! have a great time clear the game in a week , already start my 2nd play-trough and plan a 3rd afterward with a more lethal apporoach . nice pre-order dlc package too ! +149 Video_Games NEU 3 Putt-Putt travels through Time be part of the Putt-Putt series , the most exciting strategy computer game for kid age 2 + -lrb- yes , it be right , 2 + -rrb- . not as charming as Putt-Putt save the zoo and Putt-Putt enter the race , and more stimulating than Putt-Putt join the Circus , Putt-Putt travels through Time be still a amazing way to introduce you kid to computer in a positive and creative way . my kid love it , play with it hundred of time and learn a lot with it . it be a good pick to extend you collection . +578 Video_Games NEU 3 to the point , Homefront be a let down . I buy it for online play . actually sp mode be better than mp online I think . I buy the disk and you will have about five hour to download the rest of the game with a 500mbp download speed . Kinda generic I think ; why buy a disk ? can it be play later w\/o a internet connection to steam ? do not seem to be compatible with x-fire yet . no pic or video with x-fire . in sp , there seem to be a lot of unused map area ; be a way of put it . there be no action there , game action be always condensed in a small area . become predictable . would be nice if you do not have to play follow the leader throughout the game . too control . in mp , I feel the game offer no tactic . after 30 hour of play , most of what I experience be numbnut call in airstrike right and left , run around launch rpg 's like no tomorrow , or drone do all the dirty work . I think it take a lot away from the game . I think the map be just too small for the use of plane and tank . I guess just run around aimlessly with the big bad rpg . the spawn I like . I think one would have to be part of a clan with plan to enjoy yourself online ; might work . the game lack a teamwork setting . there be too much blast the $ % ^ & out everything with tank , airstrike , or RPG 's . it get old , S.O.S. . the mp choice do not seem well think out . the potential be there , but ... I have not have any problem with the game itself , no lag with a 1mb dsl connection . hiccup free . Video card be a 5770 with a Gateway dx4710-5 . everything crank to the max and I have 60fp .

I travel a lot on pet-sitting job stay in other ' house , & have learn the hard way to bring my own clock . I have to have one that be absolutely silent and that I could easily see at night . this fit the bill with it be sweep second hand & it be adjustable brightness back-light via a turn wheel on the back . my only problem be the stupid design of the ` cut-out ' hour & minute hand . unless I have the adjustable back-light on full brightness , -lrb- a little too bright for I to sleep -rrb- I could barely make out the hand since there be not enough contrast . -lrb- I have near perfect vision , and do not need to use glasses\/contacts , so that be not a factor -rrb- . I think about have a jeweler replace the hand , but I end up fix it myself . I take off the plastic face plate and , use some black electrical tape cut to size , put the tape piece over the hand . tweezers come in very handy do this -lrb- & a steady hand -rrb- , but it be not too hard . I just have to make sure I get the placement right the first time , since try to rip the tape back off could damage the hand . now it be perfect for I . I would have give this clock a 5-star have I not need to work on it . FYI it run on 3 aa battery , keep accurate time , be 4 1\/2 '' tall . if Elgin ever make a smaller ` travel size ' one , I would get that too ! +694 AlarmClock POS 5 I love the clock . I read the review that say the alarm be too soft to be hear when you be asleep but I do not use it as a alarm clock so that do not bother I . I can see it from across the room and it be not too bright to be distract . +958 AlarmClock NEG 2 I have this clock and it wake I reliably . my big grump be that it be hard to set within 10 minute of the desire wake time . I would really prefer a digital version . +458 AlarmClock NEU 3 the marketing material say that there be a option to select between blue or red light number - red be the only choice . it be suppose to have a battery backup but when the cord be pull from the outlet nothing display , however , the clock have keep time when electrically re-powered . several new high-quality 9 volt battery be use to perform the test to confirm that the battery be not the problem . I would give 3-star for the large letter and ease of operation . +698 AlarmClock NEU 3 it be the biggest size of LED you can find -lrb- 2.5 '' -rrb- . it be also very bright that you can read it well even with bright sun in the room . my only complain be there be a poor contact between the clock and the base that house the battery compartment . the clock go blank after I fold it down and reopen it again . I have to slap it to get the LED 's to light up again . +142 AlarmClock POS 5 buy this for my daughter to use as she own alarm - replace I as she wake up call . it be a soft & gentle way to start the day . now , if it only smell like bacon cooking ... +994 AlarmClock NEG 1 I buy this month ago base on the previous reviewer . I buy early this be a gift for my daughter high school graduation ! I think this would be a great college gift ! well month later she open it take to she room to try it and ... the time speed up during the night !!!! so if you set it for 8:00 be it go of at 6:00 or 5:00 be etc. . . so I get a lemon ... I throw 37.00 in the trash ! ... +847 AlarmClock NEG 2 the clock run very fast , gain about a minute every day or so . to keep it accurate to the minute , it need to be reset about every third day or so . +57 AlarmClock NEG 1 this tiny -lrb- I mean teeny-weeny -rrb- all plastic clock be nearly impossible to read , harder to set and operate , and be less bright then those plastic `` see on tv '' touch light . the dawn effect do not wake I -lrb- I be a light sleeper -rrb- and it be not natural full spectrum light . I buy the adapter -lrb- ka-ching $ -rrb- and it do not work with my natural light lamp . a real rip-off . and it gain time , @ 5 min\/week . +403 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock be for the person who do not hear or want to hear they alarm clock . you simply can not ignore this one when it go off . I love it . +782 AlarmClock POS 4 I buy this for myself to use since I can not sleep well in a quiet room and I do not want to use a fan during winter . the first night though it go in my girl room and it be be there ever since . the sound last throughout the night and it work perfect for they . sometimes they elect to rotate through different effect which be simple enough . of course now they be like I and can not sleep in a too quiet room . +298 AlarmClock POS 4 I want a clock to see the hour in the middle of the night and that be exactly what i have get with this thing , so far so good . +187 AlarmClock POS 5 my daughter be the world 's heaviest sleeper -lrb- age 7 -rrb- and this be the first alarm we find that not even she can sleep through . engage three sens to generate the wake-up : vestibular\/motion -lrb- via the vibrate pod you put under the pillow or mattress -rrb- ; sight -lrb- flash light -rrb- ; hearing -lrb- variable loud-mama blare alarm -rrb- . you can adjust the volume and the tone of the alarm , so if you have thinnish wall , you should still be able to use this . Great for special needs\/autism spectrum , adhd . Wish I would know about this before I waste gob of money try so many other alarm . +111 AlarmClock POS 4 this be a great little alarm clock . we be no longer at the mercy of the unreliable hotel wake-up call . however , the face of the clock be dark and therefore illegible in the middle of the night . +687 AlarmClock POS 5 I love the easiness of use of this alarm clock : no mess up with `` mode '' , `` set '' and other button to access function I 'll never use . this alarm clock have four position : time set , alarm set , alarm on and alarm off . it be everything you need , and you can not go wrong . the alarm be loud enough and it be progressive . contrary to what the description say , it require 2 aaa battery , not 1 . +103 AlarmClock POS 5 it be set the time itself , you can charge it in you window , and it tell the temperature ! I love this clock ! I be order more for other room , it be so easy ! +737 AlarmClock NEG 2 the clock work ok - but be warn . the snooze button be right next to the off button . when you be half asleep , it be very easy to hit the off button instead of the snooze and miss you alarm . happen quite a few time until I figure it out . again when you be a hard sleeper - turn off the alarm by accident be easy . +501 AlarmClock NEG 2 I purchase this as a replacement for a travel alarm which I use on a daily basis for many year . I love this design with all the control conveniently located on the front of the clock . however , when I test it in the dark I be so disappointed . it be describe as ` backlight on demand ' . however it be not backlit at all . there be two very weak , relatively useless , little bulb on either side of the time display that do not shed enough light to allow you to read the time in a dark room . this just will not work for I . I be return it . very disappointing . +188 AlarmClock NEG 1 I buy this for my husband 's desk at work . I want to get he a inexpensive and small frame that he could see picture of we daughter . he love it . it work great for the first few month and then it stop work completely . he be good with electronics and computer , and could not figure out why it would not work anymore . Waste of money in the end . +261 AlarmClock POS 4 great retro vibe . well construct . very quiet tick run electrically . love the 5-minute light alarm . the only drawback be that for we purpose the alarm be extremely loud for a bedside clock . we can not use it for fear of a morning heart atttack and have move it to the guest room . it would be nice to have a adjustment switch . +611 AlarmClock POS 5 many year ago my husband have a similiar clock that he take to college and it be still in good work order when we marry and i love that clock . wake up to a blinking light minute before the dreadful audio alarm and then sadly it die . I be sooo pleased to find this clock and once again happily wake to the flash light and most morning be up and out of bed before the alarm sound and wake the entire house . the amber glow of the clockface be a lovely nightlight and very visible for these age eye . Wish there be more color offer but i be just happy to have find my old friend . +82 AlarmClock POS 5 this be a wonderful alarm clock for travel -- lightweight and easy to use . the alarm be about medium in volume . it start with a gentle rhythm , 1-2 pause , then get a bit more insistent -lrb- more ring between short pause -rrb- until you turn it off . the light be not very bright , but I find it adequate in a dark room . the clock fold very compactly -- the stand show behind the clock in the picture rotate around and become a cover . fold up , the clock be about 5\/8 '' thick . it arrive with the battery install . all I have to do be pull the plastic tab to enable the battery to start , and the clock be ready to go . +184 AlarmClock POS 4 I have always hate alarm clock . be waken by a shrill bell , a morning DJ -lrb- EVIL ! -rrb- , or that horrible beeeep ! beeeep ! have always scare the willie out of I . the Timex 4056 give you several bird-based option -lrb- Rooster , seagull , and bird -rrb- for you alarm , along with a slightly more civilized beep that be a tenor sax rather than a trumpet . I choose seagull , and now my morning wake-up be like be mildly annoy by the neighbor ' pet , rather than be stab in the head with a big knife . the clock also offer three ambient sound to sing you to sleep or make a little white noise : ocean , waterfall , and chirp cricket . fortunately , unlike real ocean , waterfall , and cricket , you control the volume and duration . I love this clock . the only reason I do not give it five star be its stubborn refusal to go into the kitchen and make my breakfast . though perhaps if I find it a 30-foot extension cord ... nah . +48 AlarmClock POS 5 I have have this alarm clock for over two year and it have never let I down the variable snooze length be awesome I set it for 5 minute and if I want to snooze 20 minute I hit it 4 time if I need another 5 hit it again when it go off for another 5 . nap feature be awesome if you want to set a quick timer . never have to turn the alarm off or forget to turn it off on the weekend just set the alarm for Mon-Fri and let it run ... the sound quality of the radio surpass what I would expect from a clock radio even though I seldom listen to it . a great all around alarm clock with lot of feature . there be a few feature that be add to the executive that i think would be nice to have but this do everything that i need and more . would definitely buy again and again ... +583 AlarmClock NEG 1 Elgin be a famous name in clock . this clock be a embarrassment to the brand . it still provide the old fashion time of day , i.e. , the hour and minute hand work . but the alarm simply do not work . for two or three day it be fine . but then it stop get louder , and now when the faint alarm sound go on , it stay on for only seconds before go off all by itself . unless you have it next to you ear , you will not hear the faint sound in any case . and if you be depend on a clock to get you up on time , this be not the one . there be just too few choice of traditional analog alarm now available , and it be a mistake to buy this one . +104 AlarmClock NEU 3 this thing be as cheap as it look . definitely get what you pay for . it be nice cause its small , do not take up a lot of room , perfect if you do not want to use you cell phone alarm . unfortunately this alarm clock only have a 5 minute snooze . I still say it get the job do . +909 AlarmClock POS 5 this be a great clock for any little guy . my son -lrb- 7 year old -rrb- love get this for Christmas . it move just like a lego figure . you just pop he on the head and the time light up . too cute and fun !! +376 AlarmClock NEG 1 I do not understand all the rave review about this useless alarm clock . Mine , when set up , buzz for less than a minute , in such a low tone that you can happily sleep through the entire time and wake up two hour later without even notice . additionally , it would be suppose , when you do not hear the alarm the first time , to buzz again at 4 minute interval : it do not . in simpler word : it only sound for less than a minute at the set time , it have a very low tone , and stop dead there , until the day after . no appeal , no redemption . you be go to be late for work if you rely on this awful clock . it be a waste of time , money and hope . I purchase it because it bear the name of `` Elgin '' , a very good watchmaker . but I go back to my `` make in China '' $ 6 alarm clock , that be reliable , humble and do not require fuss about . +162 AlarmClock POS 5 as a Star Wars fanatic , this clock be fun to have and great to wake up to . it also inspire my son to wake up early . +824 AlarmClock NEG 1 extremely poor quality . the alarm function do not work !!! I know it be make in China , but this be so cheaply put together it could not get any worse . the worst ever . just in case I do not make myself clear ... this clock be the worst clock I have ever own . +809 AlarmClock NEG 1 we buy this for we baby 's nusery . it work ok for about 6 month . ever since then , it have slowly start work less and less . it now work about 1\/2 the time , and the 1\/2 of the time that it work be because we shake it until it finally start . do not waste you money . spend $ 10 or $ 20 more and buy a CD player from a real brand . this thing suck . +133 AlarmClock NEG 1 I be really bum that this one do not work out . I be look for a white noise machine and I only use the `` rain '' and `` white noise '' sound and they loop be WAY too short . I be a bit neurotic and obsessive about little thing and be sensitive to pattern . the `` rain '' setting be about a 10 second loop and I could pick out a faint ` tap tap tap ' and I , of course , focus on that , every 10 seconds . then I go to the `` white noise '' set which have a even fainter problem noise , on a even shorter loop , about 5 seconds . I also feel that even the lowest noise setting be not quite low enough -lrb- I have the clock close to by head -rrb- . and the light emit by the clock be really bright , even when turn on low . maybe this will be better in my son 's room ... +618 AlarmClock POS 5 I be so happy to find this item online . I be not able to find it at any store and it be the one that my nephew want . he love it and it make the search worthwhile ! +912 AlarmClock NEG 1 I want a small modern alarm clock for my nightstand . I love the look of the kikkerland and decide to purchase . I can not set the clock to the proper time . it bounce back between the 12 hour format and the 24hour format and give you random time for both the alarm and the time of day . this one time I wish I have save my shipping material so that I could have return it . +923 AlarmClock POS 4 I purchase this clock because my old clock do not have a backup battery so if the power go out I would have to reset my clock . I read the review and they seem pretty good . I receive my clock today and right out of the box the clock be off by 2min . I read the instruction and change the time manually . unfortunately , when I set the time manually the seconds be 8 seconds behind accord to my cell phone and the Official US Time on -lrb- . . -rrb- so basically I have to wait 8 seconds for my clock to change after my cell phone change . not the end of the world right . but I figure that just for good measure I would call the Manufacturer 877-221-1252 . the woman advise I how to set the clock which I already read in the instruction . I tell she that my other clock automatically reset the seconds to zero once I set the clock so all of my other clock be within a second or less from my phone . I ask she if this clock can reset the seconds to zero . she do not know and advise I to exchange the clock if I think it might be defective . I figure with a name like ACU -rrb- rite they would be Accurate . just Sayin . other than the fact that my clock will be 8 seconds off the atomic clock it should serve it be purpose . as for the : blinking . I turn off all my light and I do not foresee this be a problem and this clock be close to my bed . the light be not intense enough to be annoying but bright enough to see easily in a dark or well light room . I will make another review on the performance of this clock if it should fail I in any other way . I give this clock a 4 star rating only because it be not 100 percent Accurate like they make it out to be . I might be able to resolve this issue by take out the Backup Battery or something but it be not worth the time it take to find a small screwdriver to try it . I can live with the 8 second delay . I will just have to set and forget like the name say . +67 AlarmClock POS 4 I pick up this item for $ 5.99 with free shipping -lrb- Amazon Prime -rrb- . at this price , I do not really care how great it be ; I just want a bedside alarm clock that illuminate . well , this do the job . the display be large and easy to read , unless you be at too low a angle . this kind of lcd display be only readable at certain angle , but what do you expect for $ 5.99 ? the big , blue snooze\/light button be easy to find in the dark and do what it be suppose to do . if anything , it be a bit on the bright side when you be half-asleep and you eye be night-adjusted . it be a breeze to set up ; no stupid hoop to jump through , and the button be obvious for all but the most tech-challenged . for the price , it be a useful instrument . if you want something fancier and better engineer , go with a $ 10 + Casio or similar . +860 AlarmClock POS 4 I have be very happy with this clock . it have large number on it and light up like most indiglo product -- only when you hit the button . the alarm get more insistant the longer it go off to encourage you to get up . it be just what I be look for , plus I love the color . the only complaint I have about it be the alarm button be very hard for I to find to turn off , so I have to hit the snooze and then pick the clock up to slide the button to off . a minor annoyance , but the reason I give it 4 instead of 5 star . I have own this clock for 2 month now and it be still tickin ' for I . +219 AlarmClock POS 5 the Star Wars Darth Vader mini-figure Alarm clock work like a charm !! the boy have fun with it and the alarm be awesome . how about add some music with next version . +257 AlarmClock POS 5 I purchase this alarm clock for a recent trip to Europe and it work great . it be simple to set the clock & alarm and have a light to see the time that be easy to find in the dark . I be happy with this purchase . +885 AlarmClock POS 5 it be pretty simple , if you like Star Wars , LEGO 's and need a cool alarm clock then this be it . only issue I be have be with balance , it be easy to knock over , and the alarm chime , wish it be Star Wars related rather than just a generic beep . otherwise it look great , high quality , and work perfectly . +87 AlarmClock POS 5 clock design with tiltable display allow adjustment for best view angle combine with 2 1\/2 '' time display number -lrb- largest available in a standard alarm clock -rrb- make the clock easily readable for those suffer from limited sight as well as the nearsighted while in bed who want to check the time without have to put on eyeglass . +916 AlarmClock NEG 1 the light on this dawn simulator be pretty feeble . it work for I because I be fairly light sensitive , but it certainly do not feel like dawn when it come on . also , the radio quality be terrible . I get major static on all but a couple of station , one I do not want to listen to . if I have it to do over , I would buy a different one . +888 AlarmClock POS 5 this be the BEST product , it actually work and as a add bonus it cut down on morning surliness -lrb- even among the hormonally challange -rrb- . I have no doubt in my mind that this alarm clock will save the sanity of mom everywhere and will probably save a few marraige too !! +622 AlarmClock NEU 3 this be a fine alarm clock . it have funny nature sound and alarm -lrb- my favorite be the babble brook -rrb- . I think the intention be that you put on the nature sound before go to sleep and it will help you sleep . great idea if the ocean sound , for example , do not remind I of flush toilet . I mean the sound be muffle , like they be inside a box . the nature sound loop be short -lrb- about ten seconds then it repeat not too noticeably -rrb- . the forest sound be mostly a bunch of cricket and the occasional hooting owl -lrb- if you into that sort of thing -rrb- . anyways , this be a fine alarm clock in a attractive green package , but if you want to sleep to the sound of nature , but one of those cd , or move to the country . +944 AlarmClock POS 4 I have use this clock for a few year now , and I love it . my only disappointment be that the light\/radio stay on for only 15 minute -- so no procrastinate about get up . no , it be not like have the actual sun light up the bedroom -lrb- like , duh -rrb- , but its light gently brighten until the radio start -lrb- mine be set for a 30-minute gradual `` sunrise . '' then it shut off automatically in 15-20 minute . I have already recommend this clock to several people , and it be recommend to I several year ago . +956 AlarmClock POS 5 I get this alarm clock for my son 's 5th birthday since he will be start kindergarten in the fall . the clock be very user friendly for a young child and it be durable . there be basic button label on the back ... time , hour , minute , and a switch to turn the alarm on . I do not realize when I purchase it that it only beep but that be okay . my son like the idea of have a alarm clock , as it give he a sense of responsibility and be a big boy . you can either stand Woody up or sit he down . it be very cute ! I would buy it again . +270 AlarmClock POS 4 this little clock be great : it be very easy to use because it do not have any excess setting . all of the button and setting you can see in the photo . it fold nicely into the base for easy travel . however , to see the time at night -lrb- light turn on by press the snooze button on the bottom right -rrb- , little lightbulb next to the number come on . it be not lead . and so , it mean one must bring the clock closer to the face to see properly -lrb- especially when wake up -rrb- . +838 AlarmClock NEU 3 the dalek be smaller than I imagine , but the detail be amazing . it be prop up so it glow underneath -- it almost seem like it be hover ! the three different sound on it be all loud enough to wake you up when it be work , but unfortunately , the sound on it give out after only five use . I try change the battery to no avail . it be too bad because otherwise I would have love this clock . +126 AlarmClock POS 4 a little expensive , but its very straight forward . for example `` alarm : on - off '' . you do not have to be a psychic to understand the control . very refreshing . +514 AlarmClock POS 5 the clock be purchase for my grandson who be autistic and love clock . the purchase be timely and in good shape as advertise . thanks . +560 AlarmClock POS 5 I agree that the light be too dim to be of any practical use . why do they even bother ? but I find that hotel have clock next to the bed that I can check if necessary . I just do not trust the hotel clock alarm and they be usually way too complex to set . so I have be use these for year with total confidence . they be reliable , simple , easy to pack , indestructable -lrb- suitcase have be store in blaze hot and freezing cold attic -rrb- and easy to set . since I figure the battery be go to go one of these day -lrb- they be yearssss old -rrb- , and it be easier to buy new than find replacement battery -lrb- much less find a screwdriver small enough to open the back -rrb- ... time to order a few more . +340 AlarmClock NEG 1 the screen be only readable from a very high angle , almost right above . the light be nearly nonexistent . I be sure it keep time -- I just can not tell : p +206 AlarmClock POS 5 I love this ! the display be a little bright , but I sleep with a light on any way . so , it do not bother I at all . this have be the best purchase I have make in a while , especially on electronics ! +437 AlarmClock POS 4 the display could be a little brighter and more prominent , but even so , it be fine . other than that , it be a all around great alarm clock . the sound be pretty good too . +303 AlarmClock POS 5 I have have this for a couple of week and be very pleased with it . it be all that I need and the time be accurate with the time announce on the tv . it be a good reminder as to what day it be . when I check it out in the a.m. it seem to stick with I . I highly recommend it . +369 AlarmClock NEG 1 clock lose time on a daily basis and the set frequency drift . stataic almost impossible to clear . have return product . dose not seem to be up to Uniden standard +636 AlarmClock NEU 3 overall , not a bad product . but there be some feature that do not agree with my personal preference . pro : - big , beautiful display . I be very near-sighted , and I can read this from my bed when I wake up in the middle of the night . - auto set feature work . when I receive it , I plug it in , set the timezone , and have perfect time . -lrb- note that when I say `` perfect '' , I be not be as picky as some reviewer -- accuracy within a minute be good enough for I for a alarm clock . -rrb- con : - shut the alarm off : on every alarm clock I have ever see , the `` snooze '' button be the largest button . I do not actually snooze , but since that button be the largest -lrb- and easiest to find for just-woken , groggy finger -rrb- , I use it to stop the alarm sound . to actually keep the alarm from sound again , I have to reset it by slide the rocker back and forth . I know it be a nit , but this really annoy I . most alarm clock in my experience have a single `` alarm reset '' button you can press to get yourself out of `` snooze mode '' . and , FWIW , the rocker switch on my clock be really stiff . - the alarm sound be kind of weak . it be enough to wake I up , but it sound more like a alarm on a watch : it be a series of short , quick beep punctuate by a longer pause -lrb- beep-beep-beep-beep , beep-beep-beep-beep , etc -rrb- . it be strictly a matter of personal preference , but I like fewer , longer tone -lrb- beeeeeeep , beeeeeeep , etc -rrb- . - there be `` plus '' and `` minus '' button that be use for set the time and\/or alarm . I have never actually try set the time , because it auto-set correctly . but the `` plus '' button on my unit do not work for set the alarm . I can only use the `` minus '' button . that make it \* really \* annoy if I wake up , and say , want to sleep in another hour -- I have to cycle backwards 23 hour , rather than just bump up one hour . I be guess that I have a slightly-defective unit , and while Amazon do make return easy , it be just not worth the effort for a $ 20 item . I be probably go to move this to the guest bedroom . - no dual alarm feature . note that the unit do not claim to have dual alarm , it be just a feature I appreciate on my alarm clock . +651 AlarmClock NEU 3 I have have the classic ivory-colored big Ben clock in the past , so I know I like the clock itself before I even order it . I be disappoint when this arrive , though , because the color be not true to the photo online . I expect a rhubarb color -- deep , almost bright pink . what arrive be neon hot pink . I try to like it , but in the end , it look to tween . this one go back . +411 AlarmClock NEU 3 the only thing I dislike about this sound soother be , if listen to the sound as I fall asleep , my only choice be to have the beep wake I . I would like it better if I could choose a sound to fall asleep to and a sound to wake I . +745 AlarmClock NEG 1 not worth the price , my $ store clock be better . the plastic be very think and fragile and there be 2 dim led on the side that barely light up . +966 AlarmClock NEU 3 I have order this alarm clock from Chelsea Watch , but the item we have get do not have a black dial -- as picture . they send we one with a white dial and black number , which be not as stylish I think . if you be look for one with the black dial , as we do , consider buy it elsewhere . +index Domain Label Rating Review +68 AlarmClock NEG 2 I see it in Brookstone a few day ago and be totally sell on the idea of `` self-setting '' . well , that be actually not very true . pro : large display with adjustable level . the blue display also look a lot better than the usual green or red . the alarm be easy to use . it `` should '' be able to automatically adjust for Daylight Savings Time . con : Brookstone be intentionally vague about what they mean by `` self-setting '' . no , it do not connect to the US atomic clock as some reviewer say . it be merely pre-set in the factory , and sustain by the battery . if you look at they manual -lrb- -lrb- ... -rrb- -rrb- you will understand why : if you `` reset '' the clock , it will not reset to the current time . I do not realize this until I be try out the feature and inadvertently change the original clock . I think by `` reset '' the clock it will adjust back automatically . nope . this be the feature that I think be worth the price tag , but now I just feel cheated . the clock do use a battery -lrb- pre-installed -rrb- . so it be not really `` self-setting '' . while it store the day\/month\/year info , there be no way to show they on the clock screen . and , it be a lot easier and more tempting to turn of the alarm than snooze : the button to turn it off be a lot taller than the snooze button . overall , it be not a bad one even if it be not really automatic . I just wish they be more straightforward about what it really be . +541 AlarmClock POS 4 this be a well design clock that perform very well as advertise . there be a simplicity to it that make it very easy to use . the set it and forget it be a very nice feature . have say all this I prefer another model they make that have green numeral and a dim switch , as the above model with red numeral be quite bright , although very easy to read at night . the green numeral clock do not have the set and forget feature . the green numeral clock also do not have the blinking second dot which annoy some people with the red numeral clock . all in all both clock be very good and easy to read at night . +182 AlarmClock NEG 1 it only snooze 4 time . after that , it just do not wake up again . defeat the entire purpose of the device . +936 AlarmClock POS 5 when the nagging wife and scream kid be not enough to get you out of bed in the morning , you 'll sleep comfortably know that you have the Timex T104DL Alarm clock . while not the loudest alarm clock I have ever hear , it do a adequate job of get this bump-on-a-log out of bed and to work on time . weigh in at only 1 lb. , the Timex T104DL Alarm clock be perfect -lrb- and durable enough -rrb- for throw across the room when you have not quite recover from last night 's bender . just make sure you have insert the two require aa battery -lrb- find at any local grocery store -rrb- before you toss . recommend for people who have a job that require you to show up on time . +960 AlarmClock POS 5 I love all the different sound , of course some more than other . it be easy to operate and the alarm sound be great . +150 AlarmClock POS 5 this alarm clock be just what we be look for - easy to use and have a small footprint on we nightstand . it would easily fit in you pocket or a purse . when close , it measure just under 2 1\/2 `` w x 3 1\/2 `` l x 5\/8 `` D. it come with a `` button '' battery , rather than the more easy to replace aa or aaa battery . since we have no idea how long the battery will last , we decide to just buy a new battery and keep it on hand in the nightstand drawer . the Energizer model be 357\/303 -lrb- also #ag 13 , lr44 , exp76 -rrb- . these battery be sell at hardware store , Radio Shack , etc. . +693 AlarmClock NEU 3 this be a awesome figurine . however , the snooze only go off for 2 minute , and if during that time you do not hit the snooze it will not go off again . the clock do not light up so you can see it in the dark , you have to push on the head to make it light up for a minute . so it be not a very good alarm , unless you set another one for back up . +22 AlarmClock NEG 1 I buy this clock for my aging father in July ' 10 . it work well and he could see it until today ... it go blank , nothing on the display . I replace the 4 battery even though I have it plug into the electrical outlet and still nothing . I would have think it would have last longer than 4 month . a piece of junk !!!! +116 AlarmClock NEG 2 . . probably not a good choice for a sound sleeper . the alarm on this clock be not very loud . I measure it at 75 db at a distance of 1 foot from the alarm -lrb- use the sound meter this would be forgivable if the alarm be persistent , but it shut off after one 1 minute of operation . the light be ineffective ; you will not be able to read the time on this clock in a dark room without a external light source . in addition , this alarm use a 1.5 v button style battery , a form factor that might be hard to locate in a pinch should it run out on the road . avoid if the user be a heavy sleeper ! better than no alarm clock at all ... but barely . +704 AlarmClock POS 4 this be a great little clock for the price - love that it show time-zone , day , date & time -lrb- in 12 or 24 hr format -rrb- , temperature , daylight savings , and have a light button for nighttime . also have a solar panel for back-up battery power - the main feature I choose this clock for ! after Hurricane Irene , I realize how important it be to have battery or solar power appliance . my only two complaint be that the alarm be not very loud and would not wake a deep sleeper , and my unit do not seem to sync up with the atomic clock in Denver , CO - the product instruction indicate that it will do so in a matter of minute and set the time , day , date , time zone , etc. . I have to manually set all these feature . +915 AlarmClock NEG 2 ok . . I love the footprint of this . fairly small and unobtrusive . have a nice look to it . have a very large library of `` relax '' sound . those be the pro 's ... here come the con . while this clock\/radio have a large library of `` relax '' sound they be all on 3 to 5 second loop . in other word , the cricket or frog or foghorn or whatever repeat themselves over and over and over . this be anything but relaxing . . in my opinion it be the opposite of relaxing . . it be pretty irritating . I have have sound machine radio in the past that at least have 30 second loop which be still too short but not nearly as bad as this machine . the display ... OMG it be bright . . it be like a freak blue streetlight in a completely dark room . it come with a 3 position brightness control but there be very little difference between the setting . while I love the concept of this clock\/radio it fall way short of be practical . I will be return mine in the next couple day and continue my search for a well design replacement . +700 AlarmClock NEU 3 well , it tell time , have a alarm function , and make sound ... I just feel a lot of the sound be sound effect , if that make sense . Steam Train intrigue I , until I put it on . Aviary be OBNOXIOUS ! it sound like a bunch of bird duke it out ! City be nifty , though , thunderstorm be really cool . my real beef be that the speaker be in the back of this contraption . so everything get dull and muffle a bit . not a lot , but a bit . all in all , I like my old one just as much , but I do not really regret this purchase . I doubt other brand would be any different . +934 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock be great in Europe . it alarm well and keep perfect time . it be small enough to easily pack but big enough to see the time . the light face be great when view at night . I will buy another as a gift ! . this be perfect for my bedside clock ! +388 AlarmClock POS 5 I want a simple , inexpensive digital alarm clock and this one be perfect . it be easy to set up , easy to use , big number be easy to read . travels great . I actually keep it on my desk when not travel to track another time zone for work . I be totally satisfy . +589 AlarmClock NEU 3 so overall I have to say I love this product . I buy it for my husband specifically because of the train sound , and the large variety of sound setting . pro : nice variety of sound setting , two separate alarm setting , nice big display for the clock . nice big snooze bar , easy to find when you be blindly swat at the clock to turn off the alarm . : -rrb- con : the clock be very bright . I notice now that we have own it for about a year the clock be start to flicker , so it be become dim and sometimes disappear altogether . the lowest setting for the volume be still quite high , so we always have to have something behind it to reduce the sound setting . +397 AlarmClock NEG 1 nice look little clock ; unfortunately , as a alarm clock , it be useless . the alarm be inaudible in a quiet room from a distance of 4 foot . the stand\/cover be flimsy . +543 AlarmClock POS 4 product have good display characteristic . Easy to read in the dark . I think its automatic time set be 1 minute off which be a bit disconcerting . +779 AlarmClock POS 5 if all you want or need be a easy-to-set , easy-to-use , featherweight travel alarm that do not keep you awake with its loud ticking , this be you clock ! I love the illuminating button , which allow I to check the time quickly and then fade out , so I do not lie there stare at the digital time report in the darkness . the alarm be loud enough to rouse I , but otherwise this clock , unlike its predecessor , be silent , thank goodness . at this price , it just do not get any better . +241 AlarmClock POS 5 I be not sure what to expect when I order the Lego\/Star Wars Alarm clock for my son . when I receive it , I be very pleased with it be feature . the alarm work well and when you press down on the top of the item , the time light up . it be easy to use . however , be aware that like the normal minnie Legos , it do have to balance to stand or sit up . not a big deal to we but may be to you . my son love the large Lego sit on he night table . he friend all want to know where he get it from . +566 AlarmClock POS 5 buy this for my daughter and she love it ! add plus , she actually get up when the alarm go off . I be go to have to buy one for my desk at work . what fun ! +784 AlarmClock POS 5 we know we 18 year old like he Star Wars Lego clock because he set the time and then comment `` I really like my storm trooper '' as he walk by he graduation display a few day after the party . : -rrb- backlight come on when head be press , but do not stay on , so battery should last a long time . surprisingly stable in stand position . extremity articulate in same fashion as a Lego character . +279 AlarmClock POS 5 I want a simple travel alarm that would be sure to wake I up and be reasonably price . this be EXACTLY what I want ! I oder two . I especially like the cover ; it cover the control button but leave the display visible . the slider switch be a bit flimsy , but it work just fine . the 4 minute snooze be not adjustable , but it be good for travel - you really do need to get up when the alarm go off . +278 AlarmClock NEU 3 be usable easy and the price suit the reason but the light be not satisfy for I . and it not have function to show month-date . +180 AlarmClock NEG 2 I have never take the time to make a REVIEW BUT MUST SAY great design , great option -lrb- 2 alarm -rrb- , EVERYTHING great except one BIG THING ! I read this problem before I buy THIS & TOOK A CHANCE anyway . when you listen to the nature sound , ANY one ! about 30 minute in you fall asleep then wake up to a very loud pop almost like a shooting noise . picture feel RELAXED & FALLING ASLEEP to SOFT NATURE sound ... then wake up to ALMOST LIKE POPPING POPCORN RIGHT NEXT to your ear !! it wake MY HUSBAND & I up , it be so loud we scream ! you think we WOULD LEARN the 1st TIME WE try a different nature sound -lrb- think it be just that SONG recording -rrb- the NEXT NIGHT & IT happen again . both TIMES IT DOES not happen for about 30 minute to a hour , SO BY THEN WE be sleep ! REALLY THIS be the perfect clock if it do not have this issue . I do not KNOW HOW THIS get OUT on the market ! HOW DID IT pass inspection ! +349 AlarmClock POS 5 I purchase the Timex Solar atomic clock with the last few month and it be work fine and be easy to set up not like some I have have in the pass . it be accurate , easy to read and right on . R.L. Bush +586 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock be amazing . the 4 minute snooze be also good because otherwise I would just fall back asleep . the light be good and basically everything ! I buy this for $ 5.99 wait until it drop to that price ! +294 AlarmClock NEU 3 I purchase this travel alarm a little over a year ago , and have use it daily -lrb- not just for travel -rrb- since . it have be a good little alarm , but be die young . about a month ago -lrb- at the 1 year mark -rrb- the display start go out . sometimes a little shake will restore it , only to fade again unexpectedly . I be debate whether to purchase another . it be fine for its purpose while it last . the ascend alarm be plenty loud enough for I -lrb- and I prefer a loud alarm -rrb- . -lrb- some reviewer have complain about a too-soft alarm , combine with a red flash alarm - note that Elgin make a different alarm model with those feature and identical appearance , so those reviewer have probably post they review to the wrong product . -rrb- the snooze button be important to I , and work well . -lrb- it double as a button to briefly turn on the backlight . -rrb- the setting button be fairly intuitive , but I wish it be not necessary to scroll through 24 hour or 60 minute just to set the time or alarm back a wee bit . +985 AlarmClock NEG 2 this be a great idea , if this kind of thing work for you . Might not work for everyone , though . the problem here be that this be a cheap -lrb- and poorly design -rrb- clock radio with a lightbulb . for that , you pay a ton of money . if this be $ 20 - $ 30 , it would be fine ... but for the price , you would expect more . the button be small and hard to use . it never get terribly bright , although I guess you could read by it -lrb- the wife do , although she use to just use a flashlight ! -rrb- . but there be something nice about get up with that even increase light ... +290 AlarmClock NEG 2 great detail . nice lead light but like two of the other review this one stop make any sound after two day . +253 AlarmClock POS 5 in try to purchase another , I have be disappoint to find the Timex Solar alarm out of stock at Amazon . thankfully , it be still available elsewhere , but the thought that this clock might be discontinue motivate I to write a review because it be a great clock ! I know there be people complain that it do not connect very well when you try to have it set itself automatically . but I do not buy it for that purpose and it be easy enough to set manually that it be hard for I to understand why that should be a big deal . especially since it depend on where you live whether it can connect and its not really Timex 's fault that I live in New England -lrb- pretty darn far from Colorado ! -rrb- the snooze only do five minute increment so that be something to be aware of . sometimes when I want to keep push snooze for a while -lrb- but can not turn off the alarm or I would oversleep -rrb- I reach for the alarm and set it beside I on the bed -lrb- since it be cordless and very light -rrb- so that I can `` snooze it '' on the first beep . I also agree with another reviewer that all the little beep when set or check the alarm setting be unnecessary and mildly annoying . but I be more than willing to accept they because after read hundred of review for other clock -lrb- upon see this one be out of stock -rrb- I become even more convinced than I be already that there be not another alarm clock out there that compare to this one ! on to what I love about this clock . it do not glow some bright color all night and keep my husband and I awake . when I need to see the time in the dark , it have a button that cover the top -lrb- you can not miss it even when fumble around because you be half asleep -rrb- that I can press and it illuminate the time in a perfect non-sleep-disturbing amber . this be very important to I since my sleep get mess up easily . -lrb- the body 's light sensor that regulate circadian rhythm be very sensitive to blue , green or white light , but red or amber have barely any effect , which be exactly what you want at night . in the morning those other color be good since they promote wakefulness , but I do not expect or want a alarm clock to perform for I the work of a lamp or light box -rrb- I also like that this clock show the date , day of the week and room temperature at the bottom of the display in addition to the larger display of the time . sometimes when I be think about what to set we hall thermostat to at night it be helpful to see what the temperature currently be in we bedroom first . another thing I appreciate be how this silver color clock look on my bedside table . it really look attractive ; compare to all the black alarm you see or the one that glow odd color , it stand out for its elegance . it have no cord to get in the way or battery to change . with past clock that glow , I would end up turn the clock face against the wall , but here there be no need so it be always position well . it be a perfect size ; it be petite , but not too small . +292 AlarmClock POS 5 not many word can describe the simplicity yet uniqueness that this clock radio offer . the feature be great . nothing more need to be say about this awesome time piece . +703 AlarmClock POS 4 little bigger than I think it would be , but work great and loud enough to wake I up . +54 AlarmClock POS 5 it be great for my husband . he love it and show it off to other in company . everybody say it be cute . +237 AlarmClock POS 4 product arrive in a timely fashion . the `` inside box '' - a.k.a the manufacturer box be a lil bang up , corner of the box be crumple . product still work fine though . +175 AlarmClock POS 5 the number on this clock be very large -- I can easily read they in the middle of the night without glass . the red led number also do not light up the whole bedroom , like a blue led one I recently buy and be unable to use . the setting be simple and intuitive . I would definitely recommend this clock to anyone . +928 AlarmClock POS 5 I move to a new area , and the radio reception of the clock radio be horrible . the alarm clock work fine -lrb- 2 setting for 2 different time -rrb- , looke good , and work well . I kind of enjoy wake to the sound of nature . good experience . +351 AlarmClock POS 5 I buy this for my teen daughter that be a hard sleeper . ordinary clock never wake she ; this one however , shake she and wake she . in fact , it wake everyone in the house on both floor . the color be rich and the vibrator be really powerful . I love it and so do she . now , I can be at work without have to worry whether or not she be go to get up . she have literally no option with this clock . +743 AlarmClock POS 5 I have be oversleep on workday for the first time in my life - sleep through alarm . now no more worry . this really do work , and I find it very cute too . the sound be adjustable both in quality and volume - and the shaker really work . I be very grateful . it be easy to set both the time and the alarm . one reviewer complain about the brightness - and the number be bright during the night and change color , but I like it . be just hope that I do not annoy my neighbor , so I not set on the higher volume . this be definitely a very girly look clock . I have purchase three altogether - one for my bedroom , one for the living room set 20 minute later , and one for work - just to look pretty and keep I in touch with the time . you can can a visual alarm with a small row of light flash if you do not want the sound . I also purchase a extension cord which work fine . I be very pleased with this clock ! +526 AlarmClock POS 4 i just buy this and it work like a charm ... it be the best for thoose people who need to wake with a quiet alarm so you wont wake other ... this be the best !! +901 AlarmClock NEG 1 Update - less than 3 month after purchase ... this ALARM CLOCK have die ! it geek and reset itself to 12:00 be whenever the alarm be due to go off ... so not only do it not wake you up when it should it cant even keep time . so I buy it on May 11 , 2011 and by August 1 , 2011 ... I have to go out and buy a new one . save you money buy something else !!!! I have expectionally high hope for this radio ... but really all I want it to do be wake I up effectively . its not that hard , I want it to tell I the time -lrb- and not consistently just change the time for I , like my old clock -rrb- and wake I up on time . oh it wake I up on time alright ! unless you wanna use the snooze button ! the sound be fine on the unit in term of the speaker . the sound like ... you know ... the sound . and I be happy ... until one morning I hit the snooze button . HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Wtf ? HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM !!!!!!!! so I hit the sound button , in a groggy stupor . and the sound stop ... problem solve right ? no it turn off the alarm . yeah ... I be late to work . the next morning I again hit the snooze button of hum death ... and the Humm -lrb- Im serious ... its not quiet ... its not something you can sleep through -rrb- begin again ... but this time I think OOOOOH no you dont ! and ... -lrb- btw im now fully awake -rrb- I stare at the clock , uselessly . how can I cercumvent this ? answer ? you cant ! and dont bother look at the meaningless manual it come with . you can however , set alarm 1 for the time you want to start wake up and alarm 2 for the time you best get up . but that really be useless if you and you hunny use the same clock . the clock be crap , and not worth the amount I pay and honestly if it wasnt such a pain in the arse , I would send that clock a packin back to amazon . save you money ... buy a USEFUL clock . +157 AlarmClock POS 5 large display allow I see the time without my glass . Easy to read from across the room . 2 brightness setting . Easy to set . Works perfectly . +862 AlarmClock POS 4 overall a very good clock that be easy to use and compact . one draw back - it be not backlit so see time in the dark be impossible -lrb- it do have a backlight button -rrb- . +625 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock can be $ 15 plus if they be sell in IKEA . they have very fancy color flash color and I love the temperature function . it be more accurate more responsive than my other themo device at home . the alarm function be just a joke . it be very difficult to setup the alarm function and the alarm be just Merry Christmas music ... +851 AlarmClock POS 4 they have change this clock since the review by dr that be currently list as most helpful . the small change be that it now use 3 aa battery instead of one c cell . the big , and good , change be that the clock now have a dimmer switch to adjust the brightness of the automatic dial light . you can adjust it from very dim to brighter than a night light . the light itself have also apparently change from earlier model ; now it be a even , overall green light dial instead of a hot spot of light . you can still also push the snooze button to get a very bright blue light . the bad part about this clock be the hand . some designer must have think they would give it some sort of `` look '' with the cut-out design of the hand instead of the functionality of a solid hand . the cut-out hand make it very difficult to see the time at night with the back-lit dial because the light come `` through '' the hand and fuzz they out . to be able to see the time require that you turn the dial light way up , which be very annoying in my opinion . fortunately it be easy to fix if you be even modestly handy . pry off the lens with a very small screwdriver at either the 6 or 12 o'clock position . Cut some black electrician 's tape with a fine scissors or x-acto blade to span the open cut-out on the hour and the minute hand and apply it . I use a tweezers to position and apply the tape , gently tamp it onto the hand to stick . the whole process take less than 5 minute and be now easy to read in day or night condition . I have upload a photo of the result . +20 AlarmClock NEG 2 yup , you can have the alarm go off -lrb- or not -rrb- at different time on different day of the week . definitely cool and much appreciate . pity it have so many limitation . 1 -rrb- a analog tuner , and a hard to use one at that . one small dial be all you get . if you must go analog at least give we better sensitivity . tuning be hard , and seem to drift over time . 2 -rrb- too make that worse the antenna be in the not very long power cord . this mean you can not exactly move the antenna around to help get a better signal , and as the tuner be crappy this compound it . 3 -rrb- sound quality be average at best . you can not expect much from something this small , but its worse than we previous alarm which be no better . really crackly high and almost no bass . 4 -rrb- the volume control be bias really high for a alarm clock . I have it set to next to nothing and it be still plenty loud for listen to during the day . 5 -rrb- the time display be awful . dark green on a bright green background . lack in contrast and too small so it be really hard to read any time of day or night . decent display have be around , and cheap , for age so screw this up be really sad . so , average sound , the two simplest control -lrb- tuner and volume -rrb- be do badly , and the display suck . still sure you want this ? +223 AlarmClock NEG 2 my wife have want one of these for year and finally get one for Christmas . within a day it have lose 5 minute . the alarm time -lrb- as note in other review -rrb- be only a approximation . carefully set for 7:00 , it buzz somewhere between 6:45 and 7:15 , and not consistantly . the alarm light do not work . who perform quality control on this thing ? we 'll be send this one back for replacement in hope this example be a lemon . my biggest complaint be the clock come with a big warning sticker tell you the setting knob -lrb- both time and alarm -rrb- must only be turn one way , as indicate by the arrow on the back , to avoid damage the mechanism . I do not know about you , but none of my old analog clock require you to turn the hand one way only . in addition , I be just lazy enough to want to reach around the clock and turn the adjustment knob without look at they . Gosh , I sure hope I do not inadvertantly spin they the wrong way and wreck the clock ... especially at this price . I note this clock be make in China and feel cheaply make . Dave UPDATE : we have have the replacement clock for about 2 month now , and it be acceptably accurate . I have upgrade this review to 2 star as the clock still retain the cheap feel and restrictive alarm setting requirement ; but more important , this have a most annoying alarm . for a clock design to sooth you awake , this one make you grind you tooth . my wife use another clock as she alarm , but keep this one on the nightstand because she like the `` retro '' look . still only two star , but that be a 100 % improvement over my initial assessment . +565 AlarmClock NEG 2 I try the `` equity by La Crosse SkyScan 31269 lcd atomic Alarm clock '' and it be fine except the clock run from battery only even though they give you a ac adapter . the ac adapter be for the ceiling display only . when you change the battery on the La Crosse , the clock and all setting be lose so I return it and buy the `` SmartSet dual alarm AM\/FM clock radio '' . the ceiling time can not show right side up with the clock face you , this be like most other ceiling clock so watch out . the La Crosse have the most advanced ceiling display as it can be twist all 4 direction , but can not be twist enough to use the clock with the ceiling display right side up . +420 AlarmClock NEG 2 this clock be disappointing for $ 50 . it look larger online than actual . it be difficult to set the alarm without hold onto it with both hand because it be so small and lightweight . the sound quality be lack . when the alarm be set to sound which need to have the volume up , there be no way to play the sound while you fall asleep unless you like it loud and no timer . I have always be impress with sharper image product until now . +800 AlarmClock POS 4 bought dark wood clock : clock be make of plastic with a qualify wooden affect . it be a 6cm cube . image of the product on Amazon be a little misleading about the size . nevertheless it be elegant small alarm clock . have bright red digit and a powerful alarm sound . it have a automatic standby mode . clap often work for this clock to turn on from even 5 m away . need two of AAA battery ; and in manual , it be say two battery last for about a month . -lrb- i havent test it yet -rrb- +523 AlarmClock POS 4 I do not need a alarm clock that will wake the dead and this one be just what I need . it be not too loud and not too soft on my ear . it be easy to set the time and the alarm and it do not take up too much space on my night stand . I like the fact that I do not have to deal with wire and power outage . some people may like a large clock , but not I . +832 AlarmClock POS 5 if you want retro design and quality , this be the alarm clock for you . I love it . . the soft moonbeam glow wake you up if you be a light sleeper . . and the alarm be nice and loud for those who sleep soundly . the retro-style and soft pink color be very endearing , and especially love the blush of pink on the face of the clock . Easy and simple to set the alarm too . a adorable clock for any room , really . I have one for my living room since it match my retro decor and one for my bedside . +905 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock be easy to setup and once the tracker feature lock on to the satellite , it keep very accurate time . Easy to see at night . the other nice feature be the battery that protect the clock from lose time during short period of power outage . good buy for a area the experience brief but frequent power outage . +546 AlarmClock POS 5 DIDD not buy it for alarm purpose . BOUGHT IT to keep time . and that , it do , oh SO WELL . ALSO have a very large screen for easier viewing . all in all , a good piece . +322 AlarmClock NEU 3 we have have no problem with this unit . it be pretty cheaply make and I be actually surprise that the CD door have not break off yet . the time also seem to be just a little bit faster than other clock , as I have to move the time back a couple of minute every couple of month . +99 AlarmClock POS 5 this be a wonderful clock ! simply plug in the clock , pick you area and the time be set , it do not get easier than that . I have it place across the room and have no trouble see what time it be without my glass . a great buy . +164 AlarmClock POS 5 very good , in my opinion , because : 1 -rrb- it use battery , so I do not have to worry about the charge cord come off or sudden disruption of electricity 2 -rrb- provide 24-hour system , celsius degree temperature thermometer , date and day setting . at first I be confuse with the button , but after a while I be happy . 3 -rrb- it be not that easy to switch the alarm off . you need to be awake and press through at least two button to turn it off . so no worry of accidentally turn it off . 4 -rrb- the light !!! I love they ! they be pretty and very handy when you need to walk around in you dark bedroom , and since switch the room light on hurt you eye , this be just nice . 5 -rrb- annoying alarm tune . they be so out of tune that you will be scare wide-awake . +483 AlarmClock POS 4 I buy this as a present for my husband , but the display do not work . he choose to call the sharper image rather than Amazon for instruction . he be tell to bring the clock to any `` Bed , Bath and Beyond , '' and they would exchange it , no question ask . the new unit work well , and the sound be unique and fun . +866 AlarmClock NEU 3 this seem like the most amazing Christmas present . who would not want they own Dalek , one with a actual purpose ? however , I fear that might have be exactly what I get . I be quite suspicious that that thing be in fact a evil alien . every time it go off , I nearly fall out of bed . it be actually incredibly jarring . plus , the direction be a bit hard to follow , and it be difficult to remember how to turn it off when you have just be jolt awake in such a manner . so , I think I figure out how to turn off the alarm function and just use it as a clock and something to show off to my friend . the projection be very cool and work very well . however , after a couple of day and with no warning , it start go off on its own and not turn off no matter what I do . I have to take the battery out , and now its just a attractive paperweight . appreciate , but beware . +208 AlarmClock NEU 3 this be a nice item - good amount of sound to choose from , but the quality of the sound be not all that great . the biggest complaint I have be that it be very loud . I leave it at volume 1 , but I find myself angle the speaker away from I while I sleep because it be not as soft as I would like it . volume 2 be way too loud for I to use while I drift to sleep . I wish you could set the alarm at one level of volume and the sleep sound at another , but you CAN NOT . that part be annoying - I have to wake up to volume 1 b\/c I need the sleep sound at volume 1 . on the positive side , it be really easy to set up , nice look -lrb- fairly wide , but I have the space for it -rrb- . glad that it come with beep option for the alarm , not just sound . the display have low-med-high backlighting which be also a plus . 5-min snooze . +837 AlarmClock NEU 3 I be disappoint in the fm audio quality for the FM broadcast band . it sound limited and mushy . also it could not reliably pick up a distant station which I can now get on a boombox -lrb- I return this unit -rrb- . it be very well make and very easy to program and I would recommend it to anyone who only want FM as a extra and do not plan on listen to FM a lot . +854 AlarmClock NEU 3 this be a pretty decent little alarm clock . it be be reliable . the sound of the alarm be a beep which be loud enough to wake you without be too jarring . I absolutely love the indigo light display which be easy on the eye . the button to turn on the indigo display be a great size and centrally located , but I do not like how small and cumbersome the other button be . even though the unit be small , I feel the design of the other button could have be a little more user friendly for the sleepy , often one-eye-open user of the clock . +677 AlarmClock NEG 1 arrive in the box break . alarm do not go off and the second hand skip back a second every minute or two cause it to be off by hour within a single day . I will be return this item . +806 AlarmClock NEG 1 this clock radio lose 3 -4 4 minute daily so I send it back to the company I buy it from ... Photoland NY ... for a replacement after I get no response at all from the Coby company . the second clock arrive and have the same issue ... lose time on a daily basis once again . I try contact the Coby Co. to use the warranty but once again get absolutely no respnse so I contact Photoland NY and they say to return it and they would refund the cost plus the shipping I pay to return both unit . this ia a absolute piece of junk ! useless if you need it to use as a alarm clock but the CD player and radio seem to work Ok for the short time I have it . I do not recommend this item at all but would like to recommend Photoland NY for they gret customer service and for standing by they merchandise . the Colby Co. get a f in all aspect of customer relation in my book ... . . +993 AlarmClock POS 5 accurate , easy to use , inexpensive , silent movement , good alarm sound ... this product seem almost perfect . if I have to find a con it would be that the hand be silhouette -lrb- see through -rrb- . I think they would be easier to read at night if they be solid . I have only have it for a month , so I can not comment on battery life . +911 AlarmClock POS 4 this clock be great for shift worker . another reviewer mention that tap the snooze button more than once multiply the user define snooze time by the number of tap . that be a nice surprise that I do not read about in the instruction booklet . the battery backup be nice in the event of a power outage . however , my old clock would keep track of the time internally and still sound the alarm -lrb- even the radio -rrb- at the correct time with no ac power apply . this clock save its setting but will not wake you if the power be off when you alarm should sound . as be mention in another review , the backup battery holder be cheap and oddly support . this force I to re-enter the setting the first time I move the clock . a wire on the holder must have be over the battery contact . I bent it away and it seem to retain the setting now . there be room for improvement but this be the first of its kind and it do what I need it to do . maybe the upcome `` Executive '' model will address some of these thing . regardless , I be happy with it . +488 AlarmClock NEG 2 I have always be a huge fan of product make by Sharper image because of they product ' high quality and sleek look . before purchase this clock , I read the review both on amazon.com and on the Sharper image website . base on the review , I be optimistic and willing to forgive the clock 's few design flaw that other note . I think that perhaps the critic be be , well , too critical . however , after use this clock every night for 2 month , it be clear this sound soother\/alarm clock definitely fall short for 3 reason : -lrb- 1 -rrb- the clock look great online and on the packaging , but , in person , it actually look and feel cheap . I would totally be willing to overlook the cheapness if not for the next 2 reason . -lrb- 2 -rrb- I can not believe this clock do not have a `` off '' switch for the backlight . the backlight -- even on the lowest setting -- be so bright that we have to put a towel over the clock to keep the room dark . the difference between the hi\/med\/lo setting be also totally minimal , which actually make no difference to I because I just want it off . I have buy $ 10 digital clock at target that be better design than this -- and actually have a on\/off backlight option . -lrb- 3 -rrb- the volume on this clock be unbelievably horrible . the lowest setting , level 1 , be LOUD . then , level 2 jump up like 50 notch to beyond loud . level 3 and above be simply obnoxious -- I can not believe anyone can actually sleep with so much noise . even level 2 be definitely not soothing , it be grate , and after a few minute begin to hurt we ear . we actually have to put the clock in the closet and leave the closet door slightly ajar just to find a volume level between 1 and 2 that be a happy medium . the entire process of go to bed each night have get a little ridiculous , have to put the sound soother in a closet to find a please volume , then cover it up so the light do not leak through . I try to focus on the clock 's positive , though , which include have a bunch of sound to choose from in the first place . -lrb- although , let 's face it , people generally gravitate toward a few similar sound , and for we that be the most benign sound of `` white noise '' and one of the babble brook or rain setting . -rrb- also , I do not hear `` break '' in the sound soother , nor restart to the sound loop , as I have read in reviews\/complaints of other sound soother product feature on amazon.com . so those be a few positive with this product . but I expect more from sharper image . we still have a awesome Sharper image sound soother\/alarm clock\/cd player from about 6-8 -lrb- ? -rrb- year ago . that clock be high quality , well make , and the sound quality\/volume be absolutely fabulous . after all this time , it still work , no problem . we have it in we 3-year-old 's room , and it be be great : a button for the backlight , volume range from super soft to super loud and everything in between , and excellent variety of sound . I wish I have a second one ! so , I be hope to receive the same performance from this product . instead , I 'll just have to store it away in the closet -lrb- craigslist ? -rrb- and continue my search . +386 AlarmClock POS 5 this alarm last for my entire trip -lrb- 1 week -rrb- , the alarm be loud enough , it have a flash blue light as well - which would be handy for someone hard of hearing . it be easy to use , the price be right and it arrive just in the nick of time . and , I like the way it be design - fold up to protect the button so in the crush of luggage it do not inadvertently activate the alarm and drain the battery . +528 AlarmClock NEU 3 I have only have this for a week but it seem like a decent cheap alarm clock - I have no idea how it will hold up when I drop it . it be very lightweight , easy to set , the numeral be a reasonable size and you can illuminate it at night by hold a button . the illumination be only ok . use a button battery . I be always surprise at how bad the review be for basic thing like alarm clock , clock radio , travel alarm - you would think manufacturer would have figure they out by now . so I would like to put this into context - it be cheap and it be certainly no worse than a whole lot of other more expensive alarm out there . +147 AlarmClock POS 5 this alarm work great and the price be ideal . in read the review I see that some folk be bother by the dim light that it have -- yes it be dim , but it be not a deal-breaker for I . I have look at a clock at Edie Bauer recently and it feel very cheap -- this clock feel like it will hold up . I can also deal with the 4 minute snooze alarm -- I 'll only use this for travel and will rely on my Sony dream machine -lrb- with 4 alarm setting and a pleasant tune -rrb- to wake I up on most day ... Update : have be use this clock for about a month and have use it as a backup alarm set on my dresser to force I to get out of bed . it work great ! I take it on a weekend trip and it work fine for that too . +459 AlarmClock POS 4 the clock be nice . I give it four star becuase it be smaller than we think and be overprice . I like that the beep be not too loud and it be easy to program . look really cool in my son 's lego room . +387 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock have large number reading for night-time . the clock will lay back if the time bother you at night . +876 AlarmClock POS 5 I buy my westclox alarm clock on the island of diego Garcia in 2000 . I have use it ever since . never a battery change , although it be probably due . +637 AlarmClock POS 5 sure , it be just a clock . a reproduction of a 1930 's clock . Jeez , it be analog in a digital world . it be not uber-cool matte black or make of titanium . besides accurately tell the time and have a effective alarm , its only other feature be a flash light and a battery back-up . most would think `` nothing special here . '' but , unexpectedly , there be something kind of special about this . there be some subtle set of element that combine to please I whenever I look at this clock . nothing spectacular or even all that explicable ... the feeling evoke be just pleasant ... like see a girl 's ponytail jauntily bounce , like you favorite coffee cup with fill with just the right temperature coffee , like a puppy rolling on its back to look at you . Kind of corny ? sure ... but nice nevertheless . +332 AlarmClock POS 5 this be just what we need for we bedroom . it be very easy to read from across the room at night . +123 AlarmClock POS 5 as I have some tinnitus , I begin to have more trouble hear the alarm on my watch . I buy another watch but have the same problem - even try some in store . I buy this pq-10 about two year ago and have use it at home and travel all over the world to be awaken at all hour of the night . it have never fail . I think it be slightly lower frequency than wristwatch alarm , and it be louder - but not so obnoxious that my wife can not go back to sleep or neighbor in a hotel complain . +91 AlarmClock POS 5 I really like this dual alarm and sound soother . I can set my wake-up time to one time and my husband can set the second alarm to he own wake up time - very cool . I be not sure of the reason other reviewer think set this clock and the sound be difficult ~ I find it easy to navigate . I also like the feature of be able to listen to one sound and have a different sound set for each alarm setting . please note : the volume you have it set at while it be power on will be the volume set for you wake up -lrb- second note : you have complete freedom to choose what sound each alarm be set regardless of which sound be be listen to at the time the sound soother be click off which be great -rrb- . there be 8 volume setting which be really nice ; I be not sure as to the reason other reviewer say there be only 3 volume setting . love the 20 variety of sound , and I also do not notice any repetition in the recording ; I have big-time OCD and would notice that , so again , I be not sure the reason other reviewer would have notice as this little clock\/sound soother be wonderful . my favorite sound be Oceanside and wind chime . good buy . would recommend to friends\/family , and would also purchase as a gift . +402 AlarmClock NEU 3 it be nice . the only issue be the fact that the hand on the clock be loose so we really can not use it other than the compartment . +957 AlarmClock NEU 3 this clock be attractive in design , but way too small for what it cost . it should be half the price . if you do not mind it be small scale , it be a nice piece , but have I know it be this tiny , I would have pass on it . +794 AlarmClock POS 5 I receive this product as a birthday gift and I love it ! each morning I wake up before the alarm portion go off -lrb- just the light portion be activate -rrb- and it be so much more peaceful than any other alarm clock I have own . it be especially nice during the fall and winter month when my wake time of 5:30 or 6am show no sign of real sunlight - now I can fake it ! I be not a morning person , so the fact that this product make morning more tolerable and actually enjoyable mean a lot ! this product have be on my wish list for about a year and I be so happy to finally own it ! +954 AlarmClock POS 5 it be a use one but you would never know it . it come in perfect condition . it be just what I need for my night stand & just the style I be look for . can not beat the price of $ 2.99 plus shipping . I be very happy with it . +572 AlarmClock POS 5 they do say 2 '' display . I just do not think much about it . should have . I rate it 5 star 'cause it be everything they say . it be not they fault the BIG display cause a distraction if it be near the `` line of sight '' to a tv , window , whatever . I have it on a shelf , about 4 foot above the tv . I move it . . the clock . the blinking light draw you eye to the movement as do the very large display . be great in the sleep area since you eye be usually close . and , if half groggy you would have no problem see the time . but , consider the placement of this clock . I do not get it for the sleep area but will use it there and get another clock for the Mantle . one not quite so large , blinky and bright . this clock have nice feature and I do not regret my purchase . take into consideration it be placement , I could recommend this clock for purchase . +260 AlarmClock NEG 1 this clock be terrible . I purchase for my husband for Christmas it stop work today July 20 . we get almost 7months out of it . +83 AlarmClock NEG 2 buy this sound soother to replace a old Sharper image soother use in the kid room . the volume setting be absurd . even at 1 , the `` surf 's up '' sound be as loud as a 7 setting on the old soother . I understand they be try to down out other sound , but the fact that this item have absolutely no give at lower volume , particularly when its only purpose be as a soother , be a serious design flaw . at volume 3 it be absolutely blast . if you be buy this as a soother , I would pass for one with better low volume control . +426 AlarmClock POS 5 I love the clock . I buy it to replace one I have at the end of we family room that have digital number that be 5\/8 '' high . even with new correct prescription glass , I be have trouble read the number on the old digital clock . this clock , no problem ! I could read these number half a football field away . however , I find after a couple of day and evening , there be something about the clock that be annoying I . at first I could not figure out what it be . then I realize what be bug I . it be the constantly flash colon . it seem so domineering . it be like it be demand you attention . there be no way to turn it off . but I find a `` work-around '' and what a difference ! I trim two small piece of black electrical tape and very carefully put they over the colon so the colon disappear and you can still see all of the number segment just fine . now it be great ! not nearly as intrusive . maybe the flash colon will not bother you , but if it do , now you have a solution . I be very happy with it now ! +304 AlarmClock NEG 2 I have be look for a inexpensive cd clock radio with a headphone jack and think I have find one . I be very disappointed when I open the box and could not find the headphone jack anywhere . there be no headphone jack show on the owner 's manual include in the box . the box state a headphone jack but there be no jack on this unit . I return this to Amazon and order the Phillips aj3950 . if you be look for a cd clock radio to use headphone with , I would not purchase this Coby model . I like the design but without a headphone jack I can not use it . +791 AlarmClock POS 5 I could not imagine wake up to anything else . sooooo pleasant , and I be not a morning person ! +410 AlarmClock NEU 3 purchase this little clock for my son . I like it . the only thing that bother I be that I can not find the adapter cord that suppose to go with it . so for now we use battery and it will do for now . I love the fact that the number be large enough to see from across the room and it light up . so now I be on a mission to find this adapter . Wish I luck . +425 AlarmClock NEG 1 it work only once when receive it . next day take it on trip and do not work since then . the lead light do not work -lrb- can not read time in the dark -rrb- and the alarm do not work either . give one star due to the credit that it be still at least display the time . +564 AlarmClock POS 5 I order THIS in JAN of THIS YEAR ... Yep for MY SELF ! I love it ! it be MY FAVORITE COLOR and I like that the number be different color ! go `` perfect '' in MY ROOM ANYTHING I can get in `` pink '' I have it !! +130 AlarmClock POS 5 I really like this clock because it be easy to use , it do the job for which I buy it , and I like the sound of the alarm . +28 AlarmClock POS 5 my wife have be search for a simple alarm clock that she can carry with she in she suitcase and also use at she bedside , that have a light on that you can easily activate but be not on all the time to bother you . this clock meet all the requirement , and have a very classy antique look . she love it . the price be great and the delivery quick . +379 AlarmClock NEG 1 I get this product with the optional module which turn on another lamp . that really help make the overall `` dawn '' usably bright , but the optional module stop work after about a year . the idea of wake to a light like sunrise work really well for I , but this product be cheaply make and another brand would likely be a better choice . the radio be very poor , I have to take it apart and pull the coil internal antenna wire out and drape it up the wall to get any reception - and I live in a major metro area with many strong station ! the scratchy reception may be more effective at annoy I awake than the light . the product could be really good with a infusion of better quality . +306 AlarmClock POS 4 I be currently a 19 year old hard-of-hearing girl , who be also a deep sleeper , and I have have this alarm clock for probably 9-10 year , if not more . no , not the same company . . the same exact alarm clock . it be loud enough for I , and the bed shaker be very effective . maybe it be just I , but after a while , I get use to the sound and do not really hear it anymore when wake up . now , 10 year later , I be finally shop for a new vibrate alarm because now , the time will speed up . . so I 'll set the time correctly at night , and then when I wake up , the clock will say it be about 4 hour later than it really be . I be definitely consider get another of the same product , just because this one have last I so long . +987 AlarmClock NEG 1 I buy two of these . in the middle of the night I wake up and hear a strange whir noise from one of they . I have to remove the battery to fall back asleep . brief description - they be considerably bigger than I expect . the alarm switch be on the side which mean it be possible turn it on or off while reach for the light button . light be bright . if you enable the sensor , the light will turn on when it get dark . I do not want this feature but , if you want a bright light on all night , it seem to work fine . at first , they be absolutely silent . the quiet one seem ok . the other will be return . +166 AlarmClock NEG 1 I should have review the detail more closely . first off the picture be misleading , this clock do not light up unless you hit the snooze light . the light stay on for a few seconds , this be not what I be look for . very cheap and when you be try to check the time in the dark you have to scramble to press the button . nope ! +527 AlarmClock NEG 1 I purchase this item and it stop work in less than a week . what a complete piece of garbage . my guess be that water get into it and cause it to stop work . if you take it out and let it dry for a few day , it 'll work for a few minute before take another dump . +406 AlarmClock NEG 1 this piece of junk be 5 min slow when I first switch it on , and the thermometer be out by about 10 C. I think new battery might fix it , and all it do be reset it to 12:00 Jan 1 2008 . with no way to tell it the right date and time it be effectively a pile of junk that be not even a good paperweight . avoid . +359 AlarmClock NEG 1 unit be defective , only work for a few hour . that can happen occassionally though , right ? but I call and leave a voicemail with the company and do not ever receive a call back . overall not terribly impressed with the experience . +38 AlarmClock POS 5 Easy to set , durable , travel well . exactly what I need . seem like it will last for year . +492 AlarmClock POS 5 the Soleil Sunrise alarm clock have many feature that be handy to have in a alarm clock , and I have be able to wake up so much easier than with a traditional alarm clock . now I usually wake up 10 -15 minute before the alarm actually go off . great product ! +799 AlarmClock NEG 1 clock be cute , but do not work . I keep try new battery think maybe the battery be the problem , but no , it be the clock . it will only run 5 minute before it get stuck and the hand stop advance . it I pull the battery out and put it back in , and advance the hand manually , it start run again , but then get stuck again after a couple of minute . +765 AlarmClock POS 5 this thing will wake you up even if you will not wake up for a fire drill . the vibrater be great because of the long wire . the rainbow color number will get you you friend want it too ! it light up the night . the light be kind of bright , so if you use a night light the alarm clock will probably be use as the night light . but if you be use to a dark room , you room be go to be a bit brighter than usual . but I be personaly impress with the alarm clock . +297 AlarmClock POS 5 a excellent alarm clock . Easy to set up and very reliable . good volume control . the only downside be that it do not receive the radio signal very well . +238 AlarmClock POS 5 excellent travel alarm clock . lightweight . Easy to set up . alarm sound get progressively louder . number be large . a light can be turn on to view the time when it be dark . +215 AlarmClock POS 5 I be pretty satisfy with the clock . it be easy to setup . I follow the instruction and change the preset time to match my current time . the digit be large and easy to read from distance . +870 AlarmClock NEU 3 the screen never dim off . you have three scale of back-light to choose from but no off -lrb- rather annoy if you like to sleep in the dark and have a watch to check at time -rrb- . also , the sound be 5-10 second recording that be loop over and over , and you start to notice it as you clear you mind to go to sleep . it do its job , but do not expect total relaxation , nor a natural like feel . +342 AlarmClock NEG 2 the clock I receive be defective - the hour hand be off by 25 minute -lrb- e.g. , the hour hand be almost half way between 1 & 2 when the minute hand be on 12 -rrb- . the sound be only similar to the bird song that I can hear out my back door - not close enough to reality . I think we want reality so we can recognize the bird song we hear in nature . a wonderful idea , but not carry out very well . by the way - the clock be make in China . +680 AlarmClock NEU 3 this be a great clock that keep excellent time and you have the ability to change the sound of you alarm use different sound card . I be very excite to listen to a variety of bird call and initially buy several sound card so I could rotate they . the drawback be that the alarm alway start off with the first bird call and never deviate . thus , if you hit the snooze immediately after the alarm go off as I do , you never progress to the other bird call . you have to let the alarm go off for a while to hear other call . the next time it go off again , it start right back from the first bird . would be great if it move on to bird # 2 the next time it go off , then bird # 3 , etc. . some of the bird call be more interesting than other and I be currently stick on the one with the loon in the first position . would love to hear the great egret , however , it be bird # 4 or 5 and I never let the alarm go off long enough to hear it -lrb- would wake my husband if I let it go off that long !! -rrb- . +256 AlarmClock POS 5 I enjoy the simplcity , yet accuracy of we Elgin . also it be light and easy to carry on trip , and not subject to power outage . also like be able to see the dial in the dark if need be . +124 AlarmClock NEU 3 this be purchase to replace a wonderful clock , same brand , but there be no bright switch to change to `` not so bright '' , also turn off the alarm be not easy . Thought I be get the same clock that I have for 8 year , but it do not happen . before go to bed , I must turn the clock around due to the brightness of the dial . diff --git a/test/Baby.txt b/test/Baby.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..2df61efbb9253fadc87794ca792958949ae3ba69 --- /dev/null +++ b/test/Baby.txt @@ -0,0 +1,200 @@ +316 Baby POS 5 after extensive research , trial and error , and even a class on cloth diapering at the local birth center , I settle on the Grovia system and have not regret that decision . my son be now 12 month and we have be use Grovia since about 8 week . we have lot of cloth diapering friend so I have have the chance to see lot of cloth diaper in action and I be very glad that I invest in grovium to begin with . here be the product we use , why we like they and -lrb- in some case -rrb- how they could be improve . there be a lot of material cover in this review .

I have only list the item that work beautifully and will simplify you cloth diaper effort . I will jump right in with some gripe . cloth diapering be not cheap and despite industry claim , I have not realize cost savings in the first year -lrb- as compare to buy premium disposable diaper at Costco -rrb- . when you add up the cost of the diaper and accessory , the cost of you time do all those extra load of laundry -lrb- or pay a diaper service -rrb- , the cost of the resource to wash and dry all those load , and the cost of all the special `` cloth friendly '' accoutrements necessary to care for the diaper without ruin they , it really add up . if you be go to use the system for more than once child , then you will realize some significant savings -lrb- be sure to buy gender-neutral cover if that be you intention -rrb- . the bigger motivation to cloth diaper -lrb- at least for I -rrb- be the dramatically reduce environmental impact and health benefit of cloth diapering . conventional disposable diaper be load with toxin that pollute the earth , the worker that produce they and of course , you baby . not to mention that it take over 500 year for regular disposable to break down in the environment . that mean that you baby dirty diaper will still be pollute the earth when you great , great , great , great grandchild be bear . talk about a crappy legacy to leave behind ! now the good stuff . I choose Grovia because of the convenience and simplicity of the whole system . I know that if I be go to cloth diaper , it would need to be as simple and easy as possible , even if that mean I would pay a bit more up front . there be a massive amount of information about cloth diapering on the net and much of it be overly complicate . cloth diapering do not have to be complicate . you can simplify thing quite a bit by stick with one brand \/ one system . have say that , the grovium system be too big , hard and bulky for we 10 pound newborn -lrb- and grovium product be pretty trim compare to most cloth diapering system -rrb- so we end up use disposable for the first couple of month . it would look like he be sleep on a incline because the grovia insert be so thick under he bum . other cloth brand have special newborn size diaper and insert , but I choose not to invest the money for newborn cloth diaper that would only be use for a short time . we use Broody Chick 100 % compostable disposable diaper for that period and the add convenience of the disposable be great during that initial difficult phase . we have some minor problem with diaper rash during that time , but the triple paste always clear it up in a day -lrb- then we would go back to the Grovia Magic Stick -rrb- . I breastfeed we baby so the diaper change be more frequent -lrb- than formulum fed baby -rrb- . I want enough diaper to last three day . I do not want to do a extra load of laundry every two day . I keep add cover , insert and wipe until I have enough to last three day , hence the number above . if I have know in the begin how many cover and insert be go to be require , I would have save some money by buy some of the larger Grovia combo deal . the 30 liter Brabantia garbage pail be all steel , easy to clean and self seal -lrb- no stink outside the pail -rrb- and the perfect size for three day worth of Grovia wipe , cover , insert and change pad . it have a inner plastic pail with handle that make trip to the laundry room a breeze . I reuse use the plastic liner -lrb- that come with the pail -rrb- by put they in the sun and alternate every three day . the sun eliminate all the odor from the liner . I primarily use the 6 velcro cover -lrb- more convenient than snap -rrb- through 11 month when we baby be finally able to figure out how to open they -lrb- and they be pretty worn look velcro tab at this point -rrb- . then I transition into primarily use the 9 snap cover and keep the velcro cover only as backup . Grovia have a service that will remove the velcro tab and replace with snap for $ 5 a diaper . I wish they would offer a service to just replace the worn look velcro , but I be happy with the durability of all the cover . they have hold up better than I expect . we son get a lot of time in nature . we do not worry about he clothing or diaper get dirty if he be have a great experience . the darker color and the pattern shell hide dirt and grass soil better than the light solid shell . the gentle cloth diaper detergent be not great at get out dirt or grass stain either . if I have to do it over , I would not buy any light color solid cover . we buy some Grovia Booster pad to try before we go to the disposable overnight diaper , but we guy would soak through the regular `` Soaker Pad '' and the Booster pad and wake up with wet clothes and bedding . there just be not enough absorbency for we breast fed baby . change he several time a night just add to the stress of those early day so we transition over to the disposable for night time and have be happy with that choice ever since . the Grovia Magic Stick be truly brilliant ! it be all natural , effective and do not require you to dip you finger into diaper ointment while wrangle a diaper onto a squirm baby several time a day ! it also do not adversely affect the absorbency of cloth diaper they way regular ointment do . do not use the triple paste -lrb- or any regular diaper ointment -rrb- with you cloth diaper . the wax and petroleum oils in regular diaper ointment coat the cotton fiber and prevent they from absorb liquid . we try several top rate `` natural '' ointment for we occasional diaper rash , but triple paste work where the natural one fail . we use it sparingly whenever bump appear -lrb- which be pretty rare compare to we disposable diapering friend -rrb- . Grovia wipe be fantastic . I write a separate review on these that compare the three type of wipe I buy . Grovia wipe be the best of the three and they work with the Prince Lionheart wipe warmer perfectly . the Prince Lionheart Premium wipe Warmer be the perfect size for the Grovia wipe and will hold a stack of about 15 wipe fold in half and stack . we load a stack of wipe and then fill the wipe warmer with water from the tap . we do not use any `` wipe solution '' and we have have very little problem with diaper rash . 95 % of the world clean they bum with water alone -lrb- no paper -rrb- and it work beautifully . we stop use the warming function after 5 month and baby do not mind the cool wipe at all . at this point , it be basically a nice look \/ easy to sanitize box to keep the wipe moist on the counter . little potty . we start we son on he little potty when he be about three month old . Whenever he would cue that he be `` go '' , we would take he to he potty to go . now at 12 month , we take he to he potty after every meal and when he cue and he use the potty pretty consistently . it be easier to dump and rinse the little potty contents into the toilet than it be to change and wash he diaper so we encourage he to use he little potty as much as possible . he get lot of positive feedback and interaction when he `` make it '' to the potty so he enjoy use it . at 12 month , he be very comfortable sit on a potty to pee or poo . we keep the little potty on the bathroom counter and stand with he while he be sit on it . I have see lot of people start out with the little potty on the floor , but if you have the counter space in you bathroom , this will save you knee and back and make it easier for you to interact with you baby while on the potty . in another month or two , we will transition it to the floor for he use . Grovia Little Bubbles diaper detergent . I have use the 5 top rate diaper detergent and honestly , I can not tell a lick of difference between they . I do a prewash with 1\/2 indicate amount detergent and then a full wash with extra rinse use the full amount -lrb- per detergent instruction -rrb- of detergent . the most important thing be that you use a detergent design for cloth diaper . regular detergent have enzyme that will deteriorate the waterproof barrier in you cloth diaper . cloth diaper detergent also do not have the dye and perfume that can irritate baby skin . I be currently use Grovia detergent and it be at least as good as the other top rate diaper detergent . I can not say that it be anymore effective at remove stain than the other . my diaper insert be stain , but they be clean , soft and have no smell whatsoever when they come out of the dryer . I have always use cloth diaper detergent and I have never have to `` strip '' they . I use 14 ounce of wool dryer ball to dry my insert and wipe . the dryer ball shave ten minute off the 80 minute dry cycle require to get a load of diaper dry . it take only 70 minute with the add wool ball . Bum genius Diaper Sprayer . we buy this , but after read story of flimsy part and flooding disaster , we replace the hose and a couple other flimsy part with higher quality metal plumbing piece and have not have any problem for the past year . Carter 's keep I Dry FLannel Bassinet Pad . this be my mid layer on the change pad . I have three layer on my change pad at all time . Bottom Layer ; change pad cover that come with the pad middle layer ; Carter 's keep my Dry pad top layer ; cotton washcloth . the washcloth get change about twice per day and do the heavy work in this set up . it catch all the drip , smudge and bit that accompany diaper change . the Carters catch everything else and help keep the diaper pad cover look fresh . it get change about once per week . the change pad cover itself get change about once per month . this three layer set up make it easy and fastto keep the change pad clean and fresh . all of these layer get toss into the cloth diaper bin and be wash right along with my cloth diaper . I will come back from time to time to update this review . I hope it be helpful for those try to wade through all the cloth diapering info out there and find a simple , but effective set up . +220 Baby POS 5 the product speak for itself . these mitten really stay on all the time and protect my baby from scratch she face . we have try many different other mitten on the market but this one work perfectly well . it be a little costly but it be totally worth it , I would definitely buy it again . +848 Baby NEG 1 for carter I expect better quality . the picture do not show how these burp cloth look like its gauze . the `` padded '' center feel like three layer of gauze . the material itself be very rough and do not seem like it will soften even if I wash it . just get these in the mail and be very disappointed and will be return . have purchase another set and it shrink and fade from the very first wash - a lot . so it look as if they have be wash over 100 time . I love Carters , but I would never repurchase this item or recommend it . I just recommend save you money and just use the regular burp cloth . it do the same job . +276 Baby NEU 3 I accidentally order two of these , and when I open it be go to keep both because it be so soft and plush . but when I try to put my son in it while he be sleep by zip down from under both arm and unsnap on both shoulder as show on the tag and info online , I find that the left side zipper be place so that the end of the zipper with the stop be at the top , so it do not actually open at the top . after some fiddle around I find that if I unzip the right side far enough around I can put he in it , but it be a bit more awkward than advertise . also just in principle I do not like be deceive by product maker even if I can find a work around . I be keep one because it be still more convenient that no shoulder opening or side zipper , and I anticipate the bottom opening feature be useful at some point , but will return the other one and deduct two star from what would otherwise be a four-star review -lrb- not five for zipper size and shed issue mention by other reviewer -rrb- for false advertising . Update : I end up keep both of these , and the zipper problem I note be not such a big deal . these be really nice and soft and warm . and I have find that the shed problem disappear after a couple of laundering . so I be change to three star . +776 Baby NEU 3 the bib be great to coordinate with you little one outfit , but they be poor in quality . I would not purchase again . +202 Baby NEU 3 I love the sponge tip , find it easier to wash than those without sponge , and use less detergent . I also like the suction base . but I do not like the hard nipple brush . I can not use it to clean small part from breast pump , and it do not clean as well as those bristle nipple brush . +555 Baby POS 5 these aden + anai bib be great ! love the way they snap on the side & be adjustable to three snap to accommodate my grow baby girl . they also wash really well & only get softer with each wash . I highly recommend they . they be pricey , but worth it ! +787 Baby POS 5 when I receievd my first Birpy bid I be so impressed that I order three more ! this be my go-to item I can not live without . I have tell other mom of the quality and multi-use of this item . I just wish they come in more pattern ! +882 Baby POS 5 I do like this pump . it be not painful and , IMO it empty my breast quite rapidly . I can not pump as much as my d can eat , but that be with all pump , as my lactation consultant explain . she encourage I to pump more frequently , but alas , I do not have the time at work . the only downside - which be with all pump , be the amount of piece to clean . I do recommend buy a hands-free bra\/band so that you hand be free . the bag be a nice quality and store all the necessary piece , a burp cloth , and my hands-free band . I do agree with the other to ensure you use the correct size shield . the smaller one work best for I . +418 Baby POS 5 love this product ! my baby sleep on it every night in bed with I and it prevent I have to change the sheet every day from spit up , milk , leak diaper , etc , I suggest get at least two so you have one when the other be in the laundry , or if you need to change it in the middle of the night . +830 Baby POS 4 this shirt be so cute , I buy this for my granddaughter and it fit she perfect . I love it on she . +204 Baby POS 5 the Halo sleepsack be great ! the best part be that it zip from the bottom . I think this be weird at first until I need to change she . you just unzip to she stomach , change the diaper , and the zip back down . we have a few of the cheaper sack and they zip from the top which always wake we little girl up . it be totally worth spend a little extra money for these ! +558 Baby POS 4 as a new mommy who have be unable to breastfeed , bottle be essential in my life . I have be sterilize everything by boil it on the stove , but it be a pain in the behind to do all the time . I also have the Playtex drop-in system and be curious about try the more traditional bottle that do not require I to have insert on hand . include in the set : 1 . philip AVENT Express II Microwave Steam Sterilizer it be easy to use and sterilize everything quickly . I do not have to deal with a pot of boiling water and wait for it to boil . two minute in the microwave and it be do . it fit everything I need -lrb- check out the instruction for how to arrange lot of stuff in a certain order -rrb- . 2 . philip AVENT 4 Ounce BPA Free Bottles , 3 pack the bottle will hold 125 ml , which be just over 4 ounce . I use these with my baby and he do really well with they . he do not get lot of air and they be easy for he to latch on to . I pace bottle feed , so he sit up and I hold the bottle parallel to the floor , and these be not perfect for it since I have to lean he back or the bottle up to keep from too much air get in he mouth . I prefer the Playtex Drop-Ins for paced bottle feeding . I have not have any leak with they . 3 . philip AVENT BPA Free Bottle , 9 ounce , dual pack they have the stage 2 nipple , so they flow faster for a older baby . 4 . philip AVENT BPA Free Translucent Pacifier , 0-3 month , clear my baby like these , but actually prefer nuk . I really like these because they come with a cover , so when not in use they can easily be toss in the diaper bag or anywhere and not get dirty . also , they do not sit directly on baby 's face , so he do not get the pacifier mark around he mouth . 5 . philip AVENT BPA-Free Bottle Brush 6 . philip AVENT Non spill Soft Spouts , 6 month it fit directly onto the bottle , so the bottle can be use longer when baby be older . 7 . two Avent Magic Cup Trainer handle -lrb- color may vary -rrb- 8 . philip AVENT Formula BPA-Free Dispenser\/Snack Cup the dispenser be actually a insert with 3 compartment . the insert can be remove and use as a snack cup when baby be older . I do find that it be difficult to get all the powder out of the compartment because of the way the the opening be offset from the edge of the compartment . it usually take a little shake and shift to get most all of it out . add up the cost of this set be a great deal . for anyone who be plan on use bottle to feed -lrb- either with formulum or breast milk -rrb- , this be a excellent set . it be perfect for a shower gift for the new mommy . +69 Baby NEU 3 I read the review before purchase , so I can not say that I be not prepare for the weighted handle . yes , these spoon tip over easily and clatter all over the place splatter baby food . I make most of the baby food my baby eat so I mostly use dish and bowl , but they fall over most of the time regardless of where you rest the spoon . I do not think it would be a big deal , but it be a pain . +722 Baby POS 5 we son be super drooly and soak through normal bib in half a hour . he can wear these bib for a few hour before they need change . they wash and dry well -lrb- do not fade -rrb- . the only thing be they be kind of big and ugly so he only wear they at home . when we go out he wear silly Billyz Bandana bib which be just as absorbent but a smaller bandana shape . +593 Baby POS 5 we be very pleased with this set of receive blanket . we little girl 's nickname be `` Turtle '' while I be pregnant -lrb- long story -rrb- so we pick out a few item with the turtle theme . this be a great purchase ! the quality of the blanket be very good , and delivery be prompt . -lrb- I have Amazon Prime , so they be deliver within two day . -rrb- I would recommend this product from this provider . +813 Baby POS 5 I use these type of lock to keep knife and silverware , and other dangerous kitchen utensil and tool out of the hand of my special need son . I have previously use the Tot Locks , which work great , but due to the difficulty in install they decide to give these a try . and they work like a charm : -rrb- my son be very mechanically inclined , unfortunately , and if he could see the lock he would be able to figure it out in no time flat . but because of these be design the cabinet or drawer only open about 1\/2 '' and there be nothing for he to push on to open it . and installation be very simple . I love that I do not have to drill the hole for the release . +325 Baby POS 5 we little one look very cute with this bib , and we do not have to deal with the stain anymore . we love it !! +984 Baby NEG 2 this seat get point for comfort . my son would not sit on a hard seat . however , I just go to clean the cushion ring . it be FULL of AMMONIA from the urine . I can not get it out . my son have a rash on he bottom . I think it be from the disinfect cloth that I be use to wipe down the seat and potty . turn out he be get a ammonia burn ! Gadzooks ! why be the ring not impermeable to liquid ??? I be throw it away . we 'll switch to a vinyl soft toilet-mounted seat . +109 Baby POS 5 this mitten be so soft and easy to put it on we new bear . we do the hand wash since it be small and can get lose while you be use the wash machine +634 Baby POS 5 I recommend this sleepsack for winter month . it be warm , but not overly so . my son have be use these to sleep since we stop swaddle he at 4 month old . it be a good bedtime trigger and he never kick off he blanket and get cold . +573 Baby NEG 1 it seem that every time we thaw the milk in these bag they have a hole in they and we end up waste a lot of the milk . it sort of defeat the purpose of freezing the milk if you be go to lose half of it ... +183 Baby POS 5 I buy two Tan 2 StageSeat saver to protect the leather seat of my new car . my kid 's car seat put dent in the upholstery of my other car and the thing that accumulate under car seat be a disaster . I be very happy with this product . the tan color work well with the beige leather interior . and the seat be also protect from shoe as my kid be old enough to climb in and out of they seat . the front flap protect the leather from the kid ' shoe hang down . Easy to install , even with my latch system . I recommend this product to anyone who want they back seat to stay nice through the car seat year ! +552 Baby POS 4 I love it , and I know that my baby will love it too , I will recommend this to my friend . +716 Baby POS 5 this be a must have for all infant . it keep they so warm and help they sleep . just wish they make they for adult too ! : -rrb- +557 Baby POS 5 I , like most , be hesitant about spend so much money on a pump with the worry it would break and\/or not meet my need and be able to pump enough milk for the many time I have to be away from my baby . it be all in vain , because this pump work like a dream . the double pump be easy to set up , the battery pack be extremely convenient , and the bag provide plenty of space to store extra bottles\/valves\/breast pad ... the work . I definitely recommend it . for school and work I frequently have to pump in the car or bathroom with no outlet , and the battery pack provide excellent power . be the pump worth the money for a stay at home , infrequent pump mom ? maybe not . however , I think it be the best product for a mom who need to pump frequently . +385 Baby POS 5 I buy these originally after a friend recommend they , and I have be please with they . I buy two of the two pack for I , plus several more as baby shower gift . we do not ' need they as burp cloth as much as we daughter be not a `` urpy '' child , but they be nice and absorbent for drool or general wipe up , even if it be just mom 's spill water bottle . I would keep one in each area of the house we hang out in for clean up . we be start to use they as bib now , and while the fit at the neck could be a bit snugger , they absorb lot of rice cereal spit out with drool , yet still wash up look almost new . they be also big enough to be a small nursing shield if you forget you cover up . they will not cover everything , but they give the illusion of coverage . +19 Baby POS 5 I try these after feel like the First year brand pacifier wipe be make with too many stinky chemical . I have a big nose for the unnatural . these have a fresh , clean smell unlike they competitor . I would recommend these over the First year but I think they work the same . +887 Baby POS 5 this be awesome book . you can track activity of you baby in detail . I recommend it to every mother . the delivery be fast . +694 Baby POS 5 we buy one of these a month after we daughter be bear 2 year ago and it have work perfectly . we have a tahoe with leather seat and before we get this she seat move around to much no matter how tight the seat belt be . since we have start use this she carseat have be fine , they stay tight with this and do not move around . I be go to buy another one for we second child . +958 Baby NEG 1 if I have see this outfit , I would not have buy it . there be a flimsy element that be not detectable in the picture . +458 Baby POS 5 I buy this blanket for we fussy 7 week old daughter and could not believe it - it make swaddle a snap !!! my daughter be a absolute houdinus and could get out of every swaddle blanket we try -lrb- and we be swaddle use Harvey Karp 's method -rrb- - but we try this one and it be the first she could not get out of - so from then on , it be the only swaddle blanket we ever use ! the thing that be so great about it be that not only do it make swaddle a snap but baby can not get out -lrb- or pull fabric up over they face -rrb- . I have buy one for every other friend expect and have always hear great success story ! Worth every penny ! +698 Baby POS 4 I buy these and the black and green skull leg warmer for my then 1 year old little boy , they fit he perfectly then and still fit he great now ! the color be just as picture and go great with all he solid color cloth diaper , or even color Onesies : d after 6 month + of own they , wear they about twice a week -lrb- all day long -rrb- they have hold up great to he wear and tear and in the washer and dryer . I only give these 4 star because I wish they come just a tad bit longer , like maybe 14 '' instead of 12 '' , so they would come high up on he thigh just a little longer . but all in all they be just as good as the expensive brand and I be happy with they . I have since order two more pair in the giraffe and cow print ! so cute !!! +142 Baby NEU 3 my husband bougth it for I because I want so badly for my return to work . we live in Costa Rica and here it be so expencive that we decide to get it from amazon . the pump it be great , I be so happy that now I can extract milk in 15-20 minut and not 40 . but the box do not come with wthat I be expect , no ice pad , bag to carry the breast milk , extra diafragma or valvula . like the one I have -lrb- the single one -rrb- too bad that amazon do not give a description of the product . +994 Baby NEU 3 I usually go by weight and length when buy clothes for my little guy so that be what I do when buy this sleep sack . I recommend that people look at the size chart and go more by the length than the weight when buy one of these . my baby be 25lbs when I buy this but be not 30 inch in length yet . when I receive it I be like WOW this thing be huge ! sure enough it be way too long for he at this stage and I should have go with the medium . +847 Baby POS 4 this be a great bottle brush and I love that the end clean nipple -lrb- a huge lifesaver when you be bottle feeding breast milk -rrb- . I have to replace this brush once every two month because the sponge do seem to break down\/discolor over time . but for the price , I do not really mind . +57 Baby POS 5 love this bib for the kiddo . catch the sloppy food that would otherwise be in she lap . while its flexible enough to be comfortable for the baby , its sturdy enough -lrb- unlike clothe bib -rrb- to stay in place . buy three of these and wash they after each use with dish soap and water and you 'll never have a smelly mess of bib wait to be wash -lrb- which be also very tempting for the puppy dog to get into -rrb- . in one word ; indispensable ! +403 Baby POS 5 I get these for a shower gift , and they be exactly what I want . they be soft and a nice green color , and she love they ! +782 Baby POS 4 I truly appreciate this playpen since they pay attention to detail but still make sure it be convenient for the mom too . I have c section and this playpen be right for you cause it be not too high for you when you have to bend down to put baby in the playpen . the canopy be something extra that make it look different than other playpen . lot of space to put stuff and diaper storage be useful as well . I really recommend : -rrb- to all mom . very nice playpen and worth all my money i spend . +298 Baby POS 4 I buy this for my granddaughter when she begin teethe at 3 month ! she love it . its easy to hold , squeak , and chew on . but we can not keep it at grandma 's house because the dog be just wait for she to drop it so he can squeak and chew on it too ! +187 Baby NEG 2 I purchase the J.I.P. Photo Print Bib , Camera and gifted it to my husband during we baby 's shower . he be quite the photographer . thus , this definitely get the `` aww '' from everyone at the event . pro : large size - this be long and wide , which be great at baby 's fourth month , the peak of they projectile spit up . quality bib - the green portion of the bib look and feel very durable and of quality . after several wash , it be still look near new . con : loud color - it do not easily blend with baby outfit , unless they have a bright avocado-colored shirt . cheap iron-on - it should be say that this be HANDWASH ONLY . otherwise , it shrink on the fabric or peel off . +111 Baby POS 5 I think the sleep sac be a wonderful invention . I get peace of mind and my daughter stay warm all night . I do not have to worry if she kick off she blanket and be cold , I do not worry about a blanket get wrap around she face . all in all I feel really great about the Halo SleepSack . another plus be that it arrive before I expect ! +687 Baby POS 5 I have give Sophie Giraffe as a gift to two different young mother . my granddaughter be impressed that I know about Sophie G. it seem Sophie G be popular among she young mother friend . my granddaughter say that she son , my great grandson , love the toy and he four year old sister like it too . my husband and I be the godparent to my husband 's niece 's daughter who be now marry and just have a baby girl . mother and baby girl be please with Sophie G and Chan Blue . the giraffe toy remind I of my own daughter 's love of a giraffe toy when she be a infant . I recall how easily she hold onto and maneuver the giraffe in she hand bring the toy to she mouth . yes , I do have to keep wash the toy down . +103 Baby POS 5 I love the velboa fabric . it be so soft and feel very high quality ! highly recommend for safe and cozy sleep . : -rrb- +737 Baby NEG 2 I be so excited to find this sleep sack and be SO disappoint when it arrive . it be a great concept , but the sizing be ridiculous . I have a average 15 month old and this be HUMUNGOUS on he . there be absolutely no way he can walk around in this . this will not fit he for several month . so disappointed !! +501 Baby POS 5 this be a must have ! First of all , it stay on for about 20 minute at a time and if any parent want they child to learn to go to bed on they own with out you rock they to sleep every night , this be the key . I put he in the crib and although he fuss for a few minute the movement and music slowly lull he to sleep . Second of all if 20 minute do not do it , you can use the remote control to start it back up so you baby do not hear you come back into the room . it be great and now he go to sleep on he own at night without it be a big ordeal . also , if we turn it on in the morning , right before he really wake up , he will stay in the crib fuss free for a extra 20 minute so I can get ready . it be great , you will love it ! +188 Baby POS 5 I have only use mine a handful of time , but so far , so good . fit be true to description -lrb- although leg opening be a \* little \* small . should not be a issue unless you LO have really chunky thigh . the snug opening do help to contain accident though . my lo can flood a diaper , but this hold one void without leak , and it even contain a very mushy poop . we be still very early in learn to use the potty , but my LO do notice a difference when he go in this as oppose to go in he cloth diaper or disposable . he actually tell I he go instead of simply go about he business . I probably will not venture to use these outside the house until he be a little further along in the process though . +261 Baby POS 5 this be a god send when we finally get it . I could not make my daughter hold on to a teether , but this solve that . a little pricey , but all in all , it be be a good investment . +611 Baby POS 5 a friend of mine tell I about this product . thank God !! it help my teething baby so much that I start buy they for my pregnant friend ! +82 Baby POS 4 cheaper than a high chair in my case two high chair and my twin fit in perfectly it be safe and my boy be big the strap fit good and easy to set up . +184 Baby NEG 1 I can not get these bowl to stay suction onto we highchair tray for longer than 1 minute . I have try make sure the tray be perfectly clean & smooth , wet the bottom suction cup , etc. , but nothing will keep it on . my son do not even try to lift the bowl and it pop up and move around while he be try to eat . once even pop up before anyone have touch it at all ! if you want bowl that actually stay suction on , I would suggest the similar `` sassy '' bowl set that also have lid . they design have a removable suction cup that fit all three bowl . I think it work better because the suction cup be all one piece of flexible rubber and be not join to the hard plastic bowl like the Munchkin set be . +48 Baby POS 5 we have use this with we daughter on 3 different trip and it work great . it be easy to use and stow away easily . we get lot of comment about it at airport by parent who be carry lot more stuff than we be . we carry we daughter off of the plane in she seat and then hook she up in the walkway in just a few seconds . Make sure that you luggage be full and test it with you bag first . +583 Baby NEU 3 bib be okay at best . do catch food but the fastener be cheap and will not last . it be not worth ten dollar . +104 Baby POS 4 good price , clean easily , fold and store easily . the tray do not have a lip high enugh to stop food from hit the floor but we just use it as a booster for my 1 and 2 year old . +909 Baby POS 5 I use Goodmama diaper under this cover , and I have to say , after 9 year and lot of cloth diaper -lrb- at least 10 different brands\/combinations -rrb- : this be the best . no leak , non fuss . totally worth it . +376 Baby POS 4 this toy be a shameless opportunity for parent to post pic of they kid on the internet ! ; - -rrb- my sister call she kid sweet pea so I think this would be a appropriate toy for she . +162 Baby POS 5 Worth the money , come from a lower income mom and a nurse , more than the best idea . just think about the money you 'll save on formulum , the pump pay for itself ; especially if you go back to work . +824 Baby POS 5 I order these mitten because I want something to keep my six month old son 's hand warm for winter . these mitten do exactly what the description say . the large size fit my baby well with room to grow and the velcro strap be genius . there be no way the mitten be come off . I have wash they several time and the color hold up well . I have not notice any shrinking , even though I put they in the dryer . the price be worth it . I have already recommend they to other new mom . two thumb up ! +809 Baby POS 5 these magnet lock be wonderful . they stay put use adhesive , they be easy to install , they be easy to operate , and they keep the drawer and cabinet close more than the latch type so little finger do not get pinch if they manage to pull the drawer or cabinet open a little . I be very happy with my purchase and plan to purchase more ! just remember as other reviewer have note that these be LOCKS ONLY and you still need a key or buy the starter set with 2 lock and a key . +133 Baby POS 5 great babyshower gift idea or to parent to be present . I feel it be a pretty good deal for the price you could pay for other +618 Baby POS 5 with my first son , we buy a `` travel system '' stroller and car seat . as he get older I realize I avoid use the stroller b\/c it be large and heavy , and be not easy to fit into my trunk . I wish I have buy a stroller with the longer term in mind since the infant seat be use for only the first 9-12 month . by 7-8 month of age , baby can comfortably ride in a stroller without the infant seat . so , when I find out I be expect twin I be much pickier about the stroller we would buy . after look at ton of stroller , we settle on this one to use for they first year b\/c it be so lightweight and easy to use . it be as easy as can be to lift the light stroller frame out of the car , and snap the seat right into it . it swivel and steer as easily as I would expect any tandem stroller to . the only drawback be that it be difficult to access diaper bag in the bottom compartment when both baby seat be in the stroller . however , this have not hinder we from use this stroller frequently when we take the baby out on walk or shopping . I simply bring a large empty beach bag when shop with the baby alone , fill the bag as I shop , and have the cashier return my merchandise to the bag after I pay . it be enable I to get out of the house with the baby fairly easily to have this easy to use stroller . I highly recommend it . just a addition - my baby be now 8 month old and we just purchase the Graco IPO twin as a lightweight stroller for 2 toddler . it be significantly lighter , smaller , and have a higher weight capacity for kid than many other twin stroller so this stroller frame definitely enable we to get a easier toddler stroller . +912 Baby POS 5 I purchase this mobile for my new grandbaby and she love it ! it hold she attention and be very attractive . +923 Baby POS 4 the product seem well make but my only gripe be that the velcro bit might scratch baby 's face -- which be kind of what we be hope to avoid by put mitten on he . +67 Baby POS 5 good quality print good confection material nice color my baby look like a photograph !! we love this and use a lot . +860 Baby POS 5 Grovia be my favorite diaper for when I be on the road . not the most absorbent and leak-proof , but very convenient . they be slim fitting so it be easy to fit clothing over they and baby have good freedom of movement . also , the snap-in system make they very easy to change . I buy both the organic soaker and the stay dry soaker . the organic one be a double layer of thick cotton\/hemp blend cloth . the stay dry be one layer of the cotton\/hemp blend and a top layer of soft material that feel like the inside of a sweatshirt . the stay dry be a little less absorbent than the organic , but they be also softer on baby 's butt and dry much faster . I prefer they because I be typically use they during the day when I change the baby frequently , so I do not need as much absorbency . +219 Baby POS 4 I find this to be easy to use and easy to clean . use different brand of cloth diaper , I have always be able to have this product cover the entire diaper . baby do not seem to mind the feel of it , and the color be light enough that it do not show through outfit . definitely go to purchase some in the next size up . +257 Baby NEG 2 that be essentially because the only thing hold it to the car seat be the pass-through for the buckle between the leg , so it tend to rotate around that point . I do not know why they do not cut slit on the side for the waist belt to pass through . +885 Baby POS 4 I get this for my 3 month old who have reflux , hope it would take more hit of spit up but remain drier than my other bib . the spit up still saturate the top portion of the bib , rest on she reddened neck . the bottom portion of the bib however do indeed protect better than the average bib . I like that there be two button , to adjust with grow baby . +87 Baby POS 5 this be we second true fit chair . we love they . we recently have to use a different popular brand with a rental car . there be no comparison . the true fit be just make better . we choose they because they have the best over all safety rating . why would you get anything else ? we son look like he be relax in a lounge chair . highly recommend ! +916 Baby POS 5 I absolutely love this dress table . although I would have prefer something with drawer -lrb- which I would get when my baby be older -rrb- , this come in handy and do a good job of keep mommy organize . the change pad be thin , but it do not bother I or the baby . of all the baby item I plan to give away , this be one that I would be keep . +888 Baby POS 5 we purchase two pattern and love they both . it go well with we jungle theme . the quality be great , even after several washing it look new . I would recommend this for sure . +622 Baby POS 5 this little rack be big on smart idea . 1 . it store flat . when not in use , just take the dry spike off the disc , take the top disc off the center pole , remove the center pole and store on underside of base , put spike in the drain catch basin , and voila ! 2 . can put dry spike wherever you want they . 3 . the top and bottom dry disc spin independantly about the center pole . +944 Baby POS 5 Great for baby like mine who kick they cover off all night . it be nice and light in the summer and give extra warmth in the winter with pj underneath . love it ! +956 Baby POS 5 these baby mitten be by far the best out there . I have originally purchase two set , and have to purchase two more . they be functional , easy , so soft and serve its purpose . these baby mitten have never come off of my baby 's hand - which be by far the best reason to purchase this product . the reason why we put baby mitten on we little one 's hand be so they do not scratch they face , so it be important to have mitten that will stay on . +270 Baby NEU 3 the only reason I be give this product 3 star be for the simple face that it be cute & unique . however , the material its make out of should have be advertise differently . I expect it to be harder , like a teether usually be . this teether feel like a generic dog toy that you can pick up at some dollar store . we buy they for we dog all of the time b\/c he actually enjoy tear they up & its easy for he & cheap for we . when I open the package I be greatly disappointed . plus it have a squeaker ! even worse when it be just like the toy you buy you pet . we dog be so excited & I be afraid when we daughter start to use this it 'll become a dog toy the second she drop it ! it cost way to much for what it actually be . so do the other teether sell by this company . they be all cute over price dog toy . : -lrb- +838 Baby POS 5 a good product in theory . my son do not crawl when wear these . he scoot on he belly . pad on knee be sufficient , but I feel it could have be a little thicker . +126 Baby POS 5 I really love this item . it only take up a small part of my freezer and it hold a lot . it state it hold 20 bag of milk , but I have 16 in there right now and it be not even half full . it provide compact storage and it be ready to use right out of the box . how could it get any easier ??? +514 Baby POS 5 I buy this as a gift for a friend . I have one when my daughter be bear and I do not know what I would have do without it . it be great for feed -lrb- breast or bottle -rrb- . my mother-in-law -lrb- who have horrible arthritis -rrb- love it because she use it just to hold my daughter and she feel safer with the boppy . and they be great as baby get older as a aid for sit up or lay on they belly . I have buy one for everyone I know who be pregnant ! it be a great gift . +560 Baby POS 5 my mom buy this for we before we son be bear . it have be so nice to have something to sterilize everything so quickly and easily . love it . +340 Baby NEU 3 its a very cue design but be poorly do with nothing more than a hot glue gun . it arrive on time as show but I dont think she will get many wear out of it before it fall apart . +206 Baby NEG 2 the stripe ruffle fabric around the blanket be very hard and not very comfortable for baby . even though this blanket match my baby 's crib bedding set , I have to return it and will buy something else more comfortable . +437 Baby POS 5 this product be suggest to I by a friend at work . I be skeptical at first , but this thing be great ! Works fine even on a standard carry-on size bag . a very inexpensive way to carry you child and carseat through the airport hand free -lrb- you would be roll the bag anyways , right ? -rrb- . plus it keep the kiddo that never stop run around contain . +303 Baby POS 4 I love this sleep sack . I like how large the size be -- great for older baby . the only thing that keep I from give it a 5 star rating be the zipper . I have 2 and both zipper be not the best quality . with that be say , I would still buy another and recommend the product to someone . +369 Baby POS 5 we use this bib for we 9 month old . it do a great job keep she clothes clean and catch all of the finger food that she drop ! we have two of these bib and have no complaint . +636 Baby POS 5 we just get back from a overseas trip . I have buy the Sleep Sheep for we trip ... it be PERFECT ! my baby love it and I love it as well . the ocean sound be very helpful travel around for 2 week in different place ... it be comforting for both of we . +651 Baby POS 5 this be SUCH a good idea . I feel like I be freezing my child not put a blanket on they as they sleep to keep they safe . this put my mind at ease and keep the little one warm . I highly recommend it . they also make they in lighter material , which be great for warmer house and weather . +411 Baby POS 5 we use Avent bottle year ago and they leak , they do not have this ring as part of the design . when we have we second child , we try Avent bottle again and thankfully , they no longer leak . until you lose one of these precious ring . I look for these in the store and could not find they . fortunately here on Amazon they be a great price and do just what they should . they arrive quickly and now we do not have any more leaky bottle . +745 Baby POS 5 this product be a must have in everybody 's kitchen . anyone who have child will benefit from it right away . you can not bellieve how many thing this product handle . +966 Baby POS 4 my 6 month old son seem to enjoy eat with the spoon . he be not of the age to hold they himself and I worry that they may be too heavy and long , but in the meantime he enjoy the color and the tip do not hurt he gum . +index Domain Label Rating Review +68 Baby POS 5 this be a very cute change pad cover , nice and soft and snuggly . I have not wash it yet but be confident it will stand up . +541 Baby POS 5 these be great bib ! this be the second one I have purchase already . I probably would not recommend this for baby who be just start solid -lrb- I use the cloth bib -rrb- but these be so great for self-feeder . they be easy to clean too : I either wipe they down with a wet paper towel or I wash they like I would regular dish -lrb- sponge & soap -rrb- for the extra messy meal . no stain so far on either one -lrb- even with spaghetti sauce -rrb- . love these ! +182 Baby POS 5 buy this one in 2 color for my grandson . these be great , soft , comfortable and organic . they also wash up nice . +936 Baby POS 4 these be pretty good cute and not too expensive . seriously hairclip be too expensive these day , especially consider we lose one almost everyday after daycare . +960 Baby POS 5 buy these for a friend who be have a baby girl . she love they and I can not wait to see she daughter rock these during the playoff . here we go , Steelers ! +150 Baby POS 4 I love the halo sleep sack , so I be excite to see that they have a `` early Walker '' sack . my son be pretty long\/tall and it be huge on he . way too big to wear right now . nice product , but size be way off -lrb- which be why I give it 4 star instead of 5 -rrb- . +693 Baby POS 5 receive this from my baby registry and I be happier with it than I think I would be . very functional , use to my pump part and plastic bottle . the top disc\/shelf can be set at many different level depend on the height of you bottle , yet fit under standard upper cabinet when on counter so it do not cause any problem !! very handy and I love how it drain right into the sink so I do not have to empty a tray like some of my girlfriend do with they bottle-drying rack . highly recommend !! +22 Baby NEG 1 yes , this product be cheap and there be a reason why , it be junk ! it do ot stay on and it do not cover the entire back of seat . my kid can kick it off with one kick . spend a little more cash and get something that will do the job correctly . +116 Baby POS 4 my son be 14 month old now and still do not fit into this - it be humongous . it seem to be of high quality and good material , but since it be still too big for my boy , we have not really use it at all yet . +704 Baby NEG 2 very cute but absorb everything . they probably work really well with cheerio but that be not what I need they for . pasta sauce - absorb , watermelon juice - absorb , water - absorb . I find that they do not protect clothing underneath . but they be cute ! +915 Baby POS 5 these be absolutely the best bib ! we have three child and be still use the same bib from the first child who be now 7 . so easy to clean . excite to find they here because I think they do not make they anymore and guard the one we have like gold ! order more for we family and send some as gift . +700 Baby NEG 1 this bib be WAY rougher than it look ... almost feel like someone go over the fabric with a knife and make it shabby ... in the picture it look like it be a sort of spandex or wetsuit fabric which be what i be expect . for the price , i wouldnt recommend to anyone . im return this on Monday +934 Baby NEG 2 I choose this pump by process of elimination base upon negative Amazon review of other pump : - the Medela have bad review indicate milk get in the tube , and a friend who have one confirm that this can happen . do not want to deal with this . - the Ameda and equivalent Lansinoh have negative review on a obnoxious beep sound during operation - this sound rather annoying . the Avent pump 's negative review just seem like miscellaneous whining , or random malfunction -lrb- which can happen with any brand -rrb- . so I go for it . my wife be not thrill with the Avent pump . the feature to customize the pump rhythm seem to be both unnecessary and a burden . she want to just turn the pump on and let it run , not mess with complicated control . once you mess with the adjustment once , you can never really get back to the factory setting . also , the pump be pretty loud -lrb- louder than the Medela hospital grade pump we rent -rrb- . further , the pump be not compatible with the glass bottle I buy , and adapter be not available . we probably would have keep the pump , but it die in less than 2 week and 10 use . the pump simply do not pump anymore , and the internal be loose and rattle within the pump housing - something be break . send this back , will try the Medela pump in Style . +388 Baby POS 5 the Boppy be invaluable for breastfeed , especially when baby be small and you be worry about break they fragile neck if you be a paranoid first-time mom . it work well for bottle feeding too if that be how you roll . additionally , this be one of the only way my baby would nap . if you place a receive blanket over\/around the boppy and tuck it in , it create a taut hammock that my baby loved . I put it in he pack n Play like this and since he have reflux\/congestion it be much better for he sleep pattern . the tag say not to let baby sleep in the boppy - just use common sense and supervise you baby . this be perfect for newborn nap with the receive blanket act as a hammock . +589 Baby POS 4 we be unsure how we LO would receive this - she be pretty picky with what she put in she mouth -lrb- mostly thing she should not , rarely teether or toy -rrb- . she love the Razberry teether . you can toss it in the fridge to help numb they gum , or just give it to little one as it be . it be a must-have . +397 Baby POS 5 we swaddle we baby from birth to about 3 month . he begin to associate the blanket with nap time or bedtime . when he begin roll over , we need a non-swaddling blanket option that would give he the same sleep cue . the HALO sleepsack work great . it be soft and roomy , but we do not worry about he end up with the blanket over he face or in he mouth . the zipper open up from the bottom , which mean there be no uncomfortable zipper up by he chest . there be plenty of grow room -- he be now 7 mo , and still fit in the sleep sack with room to spare . the tag on the back be scratchy , but that can easily be take out . +543 Baby POS 5 be you a parent to a toddler who love to feed he clothes more than eat he food ? have you ever dread mealtime just because of the mess you need to clean up afterwards ? then this bib be tailor make for you . I have a two year old , just learn to self feed . he hate be feed , no matter what be be serve and this big be a life saver . I love the fact that I can put it on fairly easily . I also love the pocket in front . my LO 's pants have be spare finally ! this bib have a small neck opening and even the runny food do not go down onto my son 's clothes . I do pull up he sleeve before put this on and so far none of the food have get onto he sleeve through the sleeve opening . my toddler who hate bib and can pull out any have not be able to rip this off so far . I think the velcro have hold up to he quality testing ! I be able to wash this in the kitchen sink , right away , after each meal . it dry up quickly and be ready for use before the next meal time . the material do look flimsy but it do its job . the fact that this do not seem to be hold onto stain be a big plus . the length seem just right for my son . I put it on he after seat he on he high chair and the mess have be stay off the high chair belt as well . I get the toddler size for my tiny two yr old but if you child be normal size then you will definitely need the larger size . I also purchase the Ikea Bib set but those have a bigger neck opening and no matter how I adjust the velcro strap , some food get onto clothes through the neck . I also do not like the fact that the cuff be cotton and take longer to dry out . the cuff also seem to be hold onto stain in food . I would definitely pick the Kushies bib over the Ikea one for ease of use and serve its purpose ! +779 Baby POS 5 my 3 month old daughter love both she sophie and she Pie toy . both be a soft rubber that smell good - somewhat vanilla - and both be squeaky , which delight she . the Pie toy be a early favorite and Sophie have more recently become a favorite as she learn how to stick the foot in she mouth . the one concern in we house be that the dog think these be he toy because they be squeeky , so we do have to be vigilant about keep they off the floor . we recently receive a second Sophie as a gift and now keep one at home and one in the diaper bag so she be never without it . +241 Baby POS 4 although my wife be doubtful when I purchase this , it turn out to work on both we small and medium roller bag . it make for a heavy load -lrb- of course this depend on the size of the child -rrb- , but it work as advertise . +566 Baby POS 5 love this swim diaper . we use cloth diaper normally , so do not want to use disposable swim diaper . we daughter go to swim class at the y so be swim all year round . in the previous size , I buy the only reusable swim diaper available locally but it pull on and off like underwear . it contain the accident fine , but my husband really do not like try to change she after , which could get messy . so , I order this one because it velcro like a diaper to make change messy diaper easier . she have not actually stool in this diaper since we get it , so I can not be certain how well it would work for it be intended purpose . however , it do fit well and seem comfortable for she . it be also very cute . it do not hold urine , but no swim diaper -lrb- even the disposable -rrb- do . +784 Baby POS 5 very comfortable feeling material . there be 3 type of gunamuna gunapod blanket and this be the only one I have try . they other look like they might be a thicker , warmer material . this one be light -- perfect for my summer baby ! if you be look for something to use during a cold winter then this be not the sleepsack for you . the zipper be awesome . not only can you get the sleeper on baby in many different way but you can allow airflow if need . I leave the sleeper unzip in my daughter 's crib so when its time for bed or a nap I can lay she right down on the sleeper and zip she into it . this have come in handy the few time she fall asleep on I or right as I put she down . I can zip she into it without bother or wake she up . wash well . we will definitely be get more ! +279 Baby POS 4 I compare this bib with iplay and Bumbkin , I like this one best , it have enough room when take out you baby 's hand from sleeve before feed , also the nylon be much soft than any other type of bib . the downside I see be that the front fleece be not easy to clean and difficult to get dry ... +278 Baby POS 5 my entire family call my niece sweet pea because she be so tiny when she be bear . when I see this on Amazon I have to purchase it , and my niece love it ! +180 Baby POS 4 I have try MANY swim diaper , and this be one of the better one . it be not the cutest , but it be much more functional than any other that be available on Amazon . the velcro can get a bit scratchy . +349 Baby POS 5 this be we baby 's favorite activity - he have much more fun in this than play with he toy . I also think this be great as it be make in Canada -lrb- which be rare to find nowadays -rrb- . +586 Baby POS 5 these mitten be incredibly soft and the only one that would stay on my newborn 's hand ! my only regret be that I do not buy 2 pair for when one pair be be wash . definitely worth the money , and highly recommend ! +294 Baby POS 5 excellent color , great quality . I have the cat in the hat and the one fish two fish one , both have very bright color and be very sweet . my 3 year old son love they , especially since he be obsess with the cat in the hat book . +985 Baby POS 5 these necklace be stylish and practical . I have receive so many compliment on mine . besides be a great teether for my little one , he like to handle it while nursing . it also keep he from pull my hair when he be in we Ergo carrier . these be great to have on-hand when we go out to eat . I can securely attach it to my son 's high chair so it do not fall on the fall and he will spend several minute gnawing on the bead . I write a little about we experience at `` how to feed a Henry '' : -lrb- ... -rrb- +290 Baby POS 4 the quality of the item and the appearance and packaging be completely satisfactory . I must confess I be a little dissapointed that it be not american make , but this do not affect the quality of the product . also I be amazing at how quickly it be receive . +253 Baby POS 4 so this be actually a very good pump ; more effective than the Medela Symphony , which I have rent for use before decide to buy this one . to summarize first , the Medela do not draw nearly as much milk and be frustrate ; I have turn it up to the full strength which succeed in only cause intense discomfort and little milk . this Avent pump , however , be magical : my first use draw so much milk my jaw literally drop at the sight of it ! and what a relief that be ... but now to the nitty-gritty : this pump have way too many wire -lrb- the picture do not show it , but the front on this pump have _ 3 _ separate outlet for the various wire need -rrb- , and the wire connect to the outlet be ridiculously long consider you be likely right near the outlet -lrb- and the pump itself -rrb- . consequently , when try to put it away without completely disconnect everything , all the wiring\/hosing become a tediously tangled mess . two , the pump itself be 4 separate part - 3 plastic piece and the hard shell . Times 2 , and you have get nearly as much time wash as pump , which be a little much when you be at work . three , the hose that attach to the bottle really be stiff and a bit unwieldy\/heavy , which mean you really need to be careful not to topple you bottle over -lrb- yes , I know there be a base , but still -rrb- . it just make it one more thing to watch . and four : it be just a bit messy overall . milk get trap underneath the petal shield thing , and it just drip once detach from you , so you have to be careful not to get milk all over yourself . overall , however , I give this 4 star b\/c at the end of the day i just want as much milk express as possible , and this pump really do a great job so far -lrb- I have be use it daily for a few day , but every few day for at least 2 month now -rrb- . I just wish it be not so cumbersome . +292 Baby POS 5 my daughter start in a swaddle and upgrade to the sleepsack . Halo make a top notch product and this be we second size increase in this product . we also have the cotton for summer and the fleece for winter . she be squirmy and would never keep blanket on so this be the perfect solution . also no need to worry about cover tangling or go over she head . a sound warm sleep for she and a little piece of mind for I ! +703 Baby POS 5 this be a great bib ! we have use it for a long time , still in great shape . I would love to have one in the diaper bag too . +54 Baby NEG 1 I do not understand why anyone like the boppy for nursing . I be a pretty small woman -lrb- about a size 8 -rrb- and I find that the donut-hole in the middle be so small it buckle in the front when I try to put it around my waist . not only that , but it really need to sit around the hip in order to be low enough to rest the baby on -- and that never work , it just keep ride up to my waist . and because it be so round and puffy , I have to use just as much muscle to keep my baby from roll away from I as I would have to hold he up ! I toss it in the closet and use regular bed and couch pillow instead . also , I could not use it in any chair with arm -lrb- like a rocker or a dining-table chair because the big fat arm of the Boppy get in the way of the arm of the chair . +237 Baby POS 4 as a father of triplet I feel uniquely qualify to give the sleep sack a accurate review . I be not sure if we would have survive without it and we use small , medium , and large version as they grow from a few week to a year old . blanket be not safe to use with young baby , but it be still important to keep the little one warm and comfortable . these do the trick and be easier to manage than constantly wrap they . I would recommend to Halo that they upgrade they zipper . after significant use one in three malfunction make it difficult to suit up a wiggle infant . +175 Baby POS 5 great blanket to swaddle you baby . help my baby sleep soundly even as he grow . Mommy must-have ! +928 Baby POS 5 I have this sleep sack in small and medium and I plan on buy it in the large , if my little one be not stand up by then . we daughter like to kick she blanket off in the night and then would wake up because she be cold . we get the small sleep sack and she would sleep soundly through the night . she be 6 month old now , and 18 lb . and the medium sleepsack have be equally wonderful . I do not have to worry that she be get cold now , and she actually like to be zip up in it ! I also do not have to worry about blanket come untucked and be pull over she face . to wash , I just throw it in the washer and then the dryer and it come out beautifully . I highly recommend this item ! +351 Baby POS 5 I do not want to spend a fortune on a bookcase . I search the website -lrb- with cheap shipping -rrb- and think this one be perfect . I read some review , one person say the shelf slip out , and another say the bookcase tip forward . both problem for small child . I do not know if they resolve those issue prior to my purchase but I do not have either of those problem . the shelf have little nitch in they to keep they in place . and the bookcase come with wall anchor . it be super easy to assemble and it look great . and it be really nice to have the bottom drawer to put game . +743 Baby POS 5 this be a great product and will last you a long time . the fabric be very thin and perfect for warm weather and baby who like to be enclose . my daughter love it and I do too ! +526 Baby NEU 3 I purchase 3 of these necklace once I realize I would like to wear jewelry that be safe for the baby . the bead be bigger than I expect but they be cute in a Flintstones kind of way . the baby love to chew on they but they attract every kind of fuzzy and hair and rinsing or wash they do not remove say fuzz . and it rip at the hair on the back of my neck , very painful ! I 'll keep wear they for the baby but not sure I would recommend they . +901 Baby POS 5 I have two set -lrb- over 4 year -rrb- , and these be awesome ! of course , any suction bowl do not really stay down . you kid will figure out how to get they off ! however , these be still my favorite bowl . they be incredibly stable and sturdy , they travel well -lrb- for snack , even wet one -rrb- , and they last age . only wish I could afford 50 more , and that there be a easy way to attach the lid . I use they for a 5 and 1 year old , and have send they to work with dad , too , for salad dress . +157 Baby POS 5 we begin use the Halo SleepSacks as soon as we son learn to roll over and could not be swaddle anymore . I love the soft , breathable cotton material . I can dress he in pajamas appropriate for the temperature \/ season know he will not be overheate with the cotton sleepsack on top . they be durable and wash well . I be happy that they come in x-large . my son be very tall for he age , but at 13 month he can still comfortably wear a sleepsack to bed . I think they be a safe alternative to blanket and more convenient for the child who toss and turn and would kick a blanket off anyway . as soon as we put on he sleepsack he be know it be bedtime . it be a great signal that end we bedtime routine . +862 Baby POS 5 we use prefold with a snappie with this cover . we like the design . it be pretty gender neutral . the only difference I have notice between this cover and a thirsty duo wrap be that it do not have snap that let you adjust it even more . but , that have not really be a issue as we son fit in this pretty well . the velcro have hold up pretty good so far . just remember to use the laundry tab whe you wash they with other diaper . we find that hand wash work too and be a little faster when you be low on cover but still do not have a full load to wash diaper . overall , this cover be great ! +625 Baby POS 5 I be not sure I want to put out the $ for this but it have be worth every penny ! no more replace bib every couple month , no more bib in the laundry . my two year old now grab it off the fridge when it be time to eat and put it on himself ... talk about responsibility . +851 Baby POS 5 have use these blanket since day one and even now that my son be too big to swaddle , they make perfectly nice napkin for he drool . +20 Baby NEG 1 these bib have poor quality snap apply to they . they be difficult to get undo and within 1 week of use the snap break on 1 of the bib . the next one break a week later . +223 Baby POS 4 I like thirsty diaper cover because they be less bulky than other I have try and I have never have one leak or even get damp around the edge . the pattern on this one be pretty cute . they seem a little thicker than my previous thirsty cover , but still not too bulky . I would recommend they to anyone who like to use this style of cloth diaper . for my infant I use they with fleece Kissaluv insert be they work very well . when she get older I will switch to the Bamboozles we use for my son . +565 Baby NEU 3 I buy this as I be tell it be must for breastfeed mom . I actually hate use it while breastfeed . I find it super uncomfortable and unnatural . the concept be on the mark , but each individual would need a boppy tailor for they body build -lrb- width , length , etc -rrb- and they baby 's need . as far as I be concerned , it be a waste for breastfeeding . I would give it a lower review , if it be not for the comfort it afford I while I be recover from a rather large tear during labor . as I leave the hospital the nurse tell I to sit on a lot of pillow for the next couple of week . she tell I a donut cushion would work best -lrb- so I put this to use -rrb- . I be shocked that I need a comfy couch -lrb- really my couch be very soft -rrb- , a fold blanket , a pillow , and this boppy -lrb- in that order -rrb- all under my derriere for about two week before I could sit without horrid pain . yup , that be this thing best use . +420 Baby POS 4 I recently learn about this item from a friend who say that this brand and product be very popular in the U.K. pro : keep toddler leg from be able to spread to get out of crib no need for extra blanket , this be pretty thick fun and colorful pattern two zipper that make it harder for toddler to escape -lrb- but still possible -rrb- \ great for cold month little fading after several month good quality we toddler be 35 inch long and there be still plenty of room to grow in this large bag so far we toddler have not try to get out of the crib after several month -lrb- the entire reason why I purchase the bag . . to keep we toddler in the crib longer ! -rrb- negative : very hot for a summer time sleep bag ! my toddler sweat really bad in the bag and there be not any hole to release normal body heat . we have to space the two zipper a part to create a small hole to release heat . we also have to keep we house tempature around 69 to 72 in order for we toddler not to get too hot -rrb- you toddler may just have to sleep in this as they pj and they diaper . the arm hole be way too big . sometimes my toddler yell `` stick '' over and over again in the middle of the night when he arm get stick inside the sleep bag -lrb- can pull he arm inside the grobag -rrb- . you may find you toddler have this on backwards in the morning since they can pull they arm easily into the sack and roll over inside the sack . it make I a little concerned that he might get he head stick inside the sleep bag -lrb- aka grobag -rrb- but that have not happen yet . it appear only the arm hole be too large -lrb- but at least it allow some body heat to be release from this thick bag -rrb- +800 Baby POS 4 let I preface this with say I have 5 kid and nurse every single one of they . I have go through the old style evenflo pump , Lansinoh , Medela Harmony , Philips Avent , and hospital-grade electric dual medelum pump . of they all , the hospital grade Medela work the best , obviously . but of the remain , I be really surprised that this Evenflo Simplygo pump be the best runner up of the group . I have to be induce for emergency reason at 38 week . the baby be fine , but I have issue . she go home before I do , and I need to pump to keep up my supply . when I get home after have surgery I have to pump and dump due to the medication I be on . I run to target and pick up this Evenflo because it be pretty inexpensive and I figure I would primarily nurse so I do not need a pump for heavy usage . Baby be now 6.5 month old and this pump work just as well as the day i buy it ! all the other pump -lrb- aside from the hospital-grade medelum -rrb- mysteriously lose suction even after purchase replacement part - long before I hit 6 month with my other kid . at first I be use it very frequently , but not so much anymore . it be a invaluable tool for the infrequent pumper . I can not say how it would hold up if you need it daily , but I think it would be okay . like - not too many part -lrb- compare to other pump -rrb- - pump well - do not leak - have never lose suction \* - milk do not get trap up in the pump - inexpensive \* once after wash I find it do not have good suction . if you remove the pump horn from the bottle and press the little blue flap against the plastic flange piece it be attach to -lrb- so no air can get through -rrb- , screw the bottle back on , pop you boob in the horn , and start to pump , the suction will return because you have create a vacuum effect . dislike - this thing be LOUD . there be no quietly pump with this pump - Kind of a awkward design . without the foot attach to the bottom of the bottle , this pump fall over . Great little pump for the price ... just do not plan on use it in Church . +523 Baby POS 5 love this , well make , 19 month old still play with it , very soft & cuddly , too . pod be satin line and well do . go great as set with boy-peanutdoll ! would highly recommend on cuteness factor alone as a gift for a new mom or baby . Great for a shower +832 Baby POS 5 this be a lifesaver for we and we 11 month old daughter who love to self-feed . most of the bite of food that do not go in she mouth end up in the pocket where she dig after she tray be empty . the pocket stick out far enough , while other pocketed bib we have buy do not . +905 Baby NEG 1 I order this item over a month ago ... I be still wait for it !!! I know once I receive the product , we will love it , I have have they before , but I have never have anything take this long !!! +546 Baby NEG 2 the photo of these shoe be so cute and classy , my mom and i decide to buy they for my twin for they riverside baptism . the shoe be be describe for use on newborn to infant . well my 7month old girl be small but they foot be bigger than newborn so we think we be safe . we pay barely anything for the shoe itself but quite a bit for shipping since we need to guarantee they arrive before the ceremony . they do arrive on time . but unfortunately , not only do they look absolutely nothing like the picture , they be way too big for they foot . they be make of stretchy material that do not retain shape and look much less classy . I give it a 2 star review because at least the shoe should be usable next year for fun as they seem to be at least well put together . Wish the picture have match the actual product . thanks +322 Baby POS 5 this teething ring work wonderful it be right at the child level when be hold child gravitate towards it . fit in child 's hand well . it be beautiful and I get lot of commplement on it people do not know it be a teething ring . +99 Baby NEU 3 I buy this for my baby before she bear and I could not wrap she very well , for the blanket size . I just like the color , and it be cause i pick up the right color . +164 Baby POS 5 this be perfect for carry my 1 year old 's Marathon through the airport . we connect it to we roll carry-on suitcase . be very simple to use , relatively easy to disconnect and reconnect to suitcase at security check point . I have be plan to buy the Gogo Kidz cart instead for $ 70 , but be so glad I get this instead and save all that money . plus , it be much easier to store this little strap than the Gogo kidz cart . +483 Baby POS 5 I get this for my 16 month old who put everything in she mouth . she really like it , and chew on it often . my older daughter also like wear it even though she do not chew on it . I mostly let the little one wear it around the house or play with it in she car seat . I do not wear it myself , as it do look more like kid " dress up " jewelery rather than a necklace for a mom to wear . I do think it be a bit expensive , but there be not anything else similar on the market , and it really be nice for little one who like to chew on everything . overall I be please with it , and it be serve the purpose for which I purchase it . +866 Baby NEG 2 while the brush initially do a good job clean the bottle , the metal shaft that attach the sponge to the handle rust within a couple of week . it be a poor design -lrb- a baby product that be design to use wet should not rust -rrb- . I would not purchase again ! +208 Baby POS 5 I be surprise at how soft this cover be . it be a little bit fuzzy , and very comfortable for tender young skin . it fit my summer Infant Contoured change pad +837 Baby NEU 3 I have install some of the original Mommy 's Helper Safe-Lok and the new one with the disable feature . neither of they be particularly straightforward to install , but once you do one the other be a lot easier . I find both kind of Safe-Lok to be much more effective than any of the four kind of Safety First cabinet lock I try -lrb- the Safety First one break if you pull the cabinet too hard , as you might do if you forget the lock be on -rrb- . while the disable feature sound great , they change the design slightly and it be not as good as the original . the mount bracket be much harder to install than the original , but more importantly , the reclose protection feature do not work on these new one -lrb- it work great on the original -rrb- . you have the option of not use the disable feature and mount the lock arm directly onto the cabinet without the outer mount bracket , but the design of the lock arm be change in a few subtle way that still render the reclose feature ineffective . I would highly recommend get the original Safe-Lok without the disable feature . +854 Baby POS 5 I love the Avent product line . since I last use they , they have definitely improve . with the new ring that hold the nipple in place , I do not have any issue with the bottle leak . this be a very nice surprise and a change that I do not mind complete a extra step for . as usual , they hold up great and limit the fussiness . the pacifier cover be lifesaver since I hate put they into the diaper bag without protection . with the cover , I no longer have to put the pacifier into a ziplock bag to keep they clean . +677 Baby POS 5 these be the first bib I have be able to keep on my 11 month old grandson . he rip the velcro one off before I can serve he he meal . he would toss they onto the floor but with these he be very willing to keep they on without complaint . he have not take they off once . I think it be because after several washing the one with velcro scratch he neck . love these . +806 Baby POS 5 Perfect for my little eater . I like the long handle and the shallow spoon for my 7 month old . +993 Baby POS 5 these be the best bib that I could find . . the key be the plastic snap . most bib have a velcro closure that baby can easily open themselves ... not these awesome bib . important to surface clean -lrb- not wash in machine , never dry in dryer -rrb- eventually they do separate from plastic -lrb- and stink to high heaven especially if milk be involve -rrb- and need to be throw away . pocket be key also . too bad they be kind of hard to find in store . I be use they for my 10 mo . old twin right now . -lrb- and buy they as baby gift ! -rrb- great great bib . +911 Baby POS 5 we have a collection of these , they be great at keep the baby warm despite he wiggle , allow he kick room , and be safe . the cover can not ride up over he face so no fear of suffocation . also good at contain diaper overload . I prefer the cotton but he like the snuggly fleece . cotton fleece would make both of we happy . +488 Baby POS 5 I have buy 4 of these to date . two for my family to use and the other two as gift for family member . it be very durable and do a great job protect leather and cloth seat . +386 Baby POS 4 I use to have one of these for my oldest niece , but we lose it somewhere between move ! when my next niece be ready to start training , I could not not buy this one again ! it be easy to use , and easy to clean ! yes , the seat padding may crack , but we have train the kid that this be they potty and not a toy . the only thing that could make this better be if replacement padding be easier to locate and purchase without buy the whole system . +528 Baby NEU 3 I purchase this teether in the hope that my four month old who be actively teethe would take some of she finger gnawing in a different direction . the raz-berry silicone teether be great in that it have 3 different texture , all chew-onable . it be not so great in the sense that the actual raspberry part be similar to a pacifier and if a baby want to suck , it be more likely go to gag because of the size of the red part . my daughter be still try to figure this thing out . +147 Baby POS 5 I love this swim diaper . very easy to use ! just put it on and wash it off if baby poop ! what could be easier ? sure beat pay out the wazoo for swim disposable diaper . so good for the environment ! +459 Baby POS 4 these mitten have work out great ! we start use they when we son be around 4 month , and at 5 month they still fit well with room to spare . we do not put they in the dryer , to prevent any shrink issue , so I can not comment on how they would hold up there . the velcro be fantastic at keep the mitten on he hand - he tend to slip right out of other mitten . they look big enough for he to continue wear until he outgrow he scratch issue ! +387 Baby POS 4 this dry rack have plenty of space for all the knick knack that need to be sterilize and dry if you have a infant at home . it be compact because of the towering feature so do not take up a lot of counter space . +876 Baby POS 5 this Booster Seat\/Highchair be the prefect chair to grow with my granddaughter and grandson , I watch they both . I love the ease of folding it and the tray on the chir . when I ned something else in this catagoery I will come back and order from summer infant . +637 Baby NEG 1 this absolutely do not fit the Chico Keyfit 30 car seat . these car seat do not snap into the frame . do not waste you time purchase ! we have to return . +332 Baby POS 5 I use these when my toddler son be teethe as a infant , and I buy a new set that I have be use with my infant daughter . both love they . the bumpy texture be total genious , and -lrb- despite direction to the contrary -rrb- , I have put these in the freezer and with that extra touch these go over even more famously . highly recommend . Great for a new mom 's baby shower goodie bag . +123 Baby POS 5 I purchase this as a gift for Christmas ... my granddaughter have not get it yet . . but I love it and I be sure she will . it be soft and bright color . can not wait to give it to she . +91 Baby NEG 2 I honestly do not mind the size of these burp cloth , and I think the fabric on the back be cute and fun . the biggest disappointment be the way the terry cloth fabric on the front and the pink fabric on the back shrink at different rate . the terry do not shrink at all , but the pink shrink a ton , so they will not lie flat -- they look contorted and rumply . every time I pull they out of the dryer I try to grab the corner and stretch they back to what they should be , but it be not even close . they look so bad this way that I will not take they out of the house because they be embarrassingly misshapen . however , I still give this item 2 star because I only pay like $ 4 . xx for a pack of 4 burp , which be a fabulous price , and they be still useable even if they be ugly and contorted . +402 Baby POS 4 a little pricey -lrb- for a bib -rrb- but be a wonderful way to tell we sister they be go to be auntie ! cute bib ! +957 Baby NEG 2 but my seven month old daughter hate it . she get so overheate , and it be only November . I can not imagine use this in hot weather . I finally just find a 100 percent cotton long sleeve bib from Etsy . this will not be use . what a waste of $ 30 dollar . +794 Baby POS 5 these be SO adorable to spruce up any outfit because they go with almost anything . they be also nice to keep on hand in the diaper bag when you be not sure what dress the weather permit . I have be able to put my daughter in cute little rompers with these and a sweater , even though it be be a chilly spring . I be so happy with they , I just buy another pair for a shower gift ! love ! love ! love ! +954 Baby POS 5 I do a lot of research on what baby journal to buy and settle on this one and I do not regret it even for a second . this book be perfect ! you can keep track of anything you baby do , from eat and sleep and diaper to all the other thing they do like first smile and first laugh . I only wish that instead of be 3 month it would be longer , like 6 month or even 1 year . I would definitely recommend for the first month of you baby 's life . +572 Baby POS 5 when I be register for my baby shower I see this . it be to cute to take a chance on not get it . so I purchase it myself . it be so cute ! the bunny tail on the back be adorable and there be the cutest little gift tag on it that look like a package of seed . so it would make a great gift to : -rrb- +260 Baby NEG 1 what the description fail to state be that if you cabinet door be not flush\/flat on the inside , this product will not work - therefore to I this product be useless . have to return it . +83 Baby NEU 3 I buy a small pair of these when my daughter as a couple of month old . they seem to work great ! I even buy some for a friend as a shower gift and buy more in the next size up for my daughter . unfortunately , my doughter , who be now 7 month , can still wiggle she way out of she sock , even with the sock-on on ... maybe she foot be just smaller than the average baby , but I doubt it , because she be in the 85th percentile for both height and weight . +426 Baby POS 4 these be soft and comfy but not particularly absorbent , so they do not make great burp rag or anything like that . they be too small for swaddle my preemie at just five week -- however , I do use they to cover he leg in the carseat and to wrap around he inside zip-up swaddle and sleep sack ; also , they be fine for put under he if I have to lay he on the floor or couch , just as a barrier to keep he skin from touch the dirtier surface . still , I mostly buy these to have extra swaddle blanket and they really be not the best for that . I do wish I would have these when he be bear since I would have be able to swaddle he in they then . overall they be cute and soft , they be the cheapest available and the thickness be good for Texas heat . but if I would realize how big a swaddle cloth need to be I would have make sure to only buy 40 '' square or bigger . +304 Baby NEG 2 portability , I give a 5 ! but the suction noise be extremely loud , my boyfriend even ask if there be a additional knob to turn the volume down lol . the suction be pretty good , though . even so , it seem to give out after 20minute . it be not that many part , but there be a little blue piece that you have to make sure not to lose , it be essential to the pump . . but they include a spare . +791 Baby POS 5 this pillow isnt just for nurse it have so many different use . we love this and will never use any other nursing pillow . Works for the cradle hold & the football hold plus its great for prop baby up to sleep and for tummy time support +410 Baby POS 5 we use this for my son 's baptism outfit . it work great and look great . I will caution that it seem to run a bit small in the size , it might be wise to order one size larger . +425 Baby POS 5 the contoured shape of these burp cloth make they the most effective of any burp cloth I have try , they stay in place and they be so soft ! they also come in such cute pattern . I buy one of these with my first baby and I immediately want to replace all my burp cloth with burpy bib . as a bib , it can be a little bulky , but it be nice to have in a pinch and I always appreciate a multi-tasker in my diaper bag . +564 Baby POS 4 my only complaint be that the remote be loud , so we never use it . the music be great , although , some of the music be program under the wrong composer . oh well . I guess the baby be not read the composer ' name anyway ! +130 Baby POS 5 pro : while the price of these be a bit difficult to swallow , the bib be fantastic and very much worth it . all my daughter 's previous bib be far too big , and do not have the rolled collar like the Tommee Tippees do , and so the formulum that she spit back out would run down she neck and make she hair\/clothes sticky . with these bib , we no longer have that problem , as this ingenious design of the rolled collar catch \* everything \* . con : a bit costly , and the velcro backing be not as durable as one would expect when pay $ 7.50 per bib . overall : the best bib we have encounter so far , and we would definitely recommend they ! +28 Baby POS 5 these be my son 's favorite ! he adore they . they be the first thing he would hold and chew . he hate pacifier , but he still love gnawing on these . they have be a huge help through teething . I would definitely recommend ! +379 Baby NEG 2 this item be over price . how can you expect anyone to pay that much for a child item which they grow out of so quickly . I think it should be in the $ 20 price range . +306 Baby POS 4 this a very cute pack n ' Play and be very functional and sturdy . it have everything you need to create a mini baby station for change and nap . the only reason I do not give it 4 star be that the change table seem to roll baby a little to one side . it do not seem dangerous , just a little annoying . the nice thing about the change table be that it fold away and be tall -lrb- easier for tall folk to change diaper -rrb- . we find we really do not use the changer as we have a seperate change area that work better for we at home but it would be a nice feature to travel with . +987 Baby POS 4 the game itself be cute . however , I think the pacifier would already be cut out . they be not . everything come to you print on one sheet . I guess I should have open the box before the day of the shower . I do not , and so with not have enough time to cut they out , we be not able to use it . oh well . my fault I guess . should have inspect it closer when I get it . +166 Baby POS 5 I order two of these and love they ! the only problem be that with my son 's very sensitive skin , he break out in a rash with it unless I put a little cloth one on over it . that work fine though . they be super easy to rinse and squeeze out and they dry pretty quickly . they also wash up well on a cold gentle cycle and then hang to dry . I like that the velcro in the back can be make tighter or looser . great product ! +527 Baby NEU 3 I try to give this FIRST to MY TEETHING BABY BOY when he be 3 month old , he start teethe early , BUT IT WAS SOO HUGE for he little mouth . SO , I try it again at 6 month and still no go . SO NOW he chew on SOPHIE the giraffe and love her . I will try it again when he mouth be a little larger . +406 Baby POS 5 there be really nothing particularly special about these bib but they be cheap and just as good as the more expensive one . love the color and design . Perfect size for swaddle a newborn and a good light blanket for summer . also if you have a baby who spit up a lot these be awesome as burp cloth . +359 Baby POS 5 we son be a slender baby even though he be 13lb at 2 month old . we be use cloth diaper and be unsatisfied with the loose fit of the regular Bummis cover over we Kissaluv Contoured diaper . someone recommend that we try use Bummis Swimmis as diaper cover because they have a much trimmer fit . -lrb- the manufacturer do say be okay so long as the cover you use for diaper be never use as swim diaper . -rrb- now , with the swimmi and the contoured diaper we have get a fit that be as trim as a disposable diaper and much cuter ! +38 Baby POS 5 the picture doesnt do justice to this product . and the color be off as well in the picture . its sooo soft and feel great . I order this product along with the Papagayo bedding and it blend greatly with it . the Poker dot on the cover pad be exactly the same as the bedding . and the monkey be just adorable ! absolutely love this product and I would recommend it to everyone . +492 Baby POS 4 very useful to have velcro attachment . imagine pull off a wet , dirty diaper with only elastic at the waist -- messy ! I plan to buy the next size when he outgrow this one . +799 Baby POS 4 Easy to assemble . we do not need the wheel and it look fine with out they . Easy to assemble , sturdier than similar price one . +765 Baby POS 4 this be softer than some other wool soaker cover , and seem very well make . I use it on my daughter at night right from the beginning , with a snappus would prefold underneath , even though the leg opening gap . sometimes the diaper would feel damp in the morning , but there be no leakage on she pajamas or sheet , and then over the day , with a airing-out , the diaper would dry and not hold any odor . I have spot clean it a couple of time when poop leak out the prefold , because you do have to hand-wash -lrb- and periodically lanolin treat -rrb- the diaper , and because it be thick it take a long time to air dry , but that be just standard care for wool . the Kissa 's be more expensive than some other similar style I see online , but I like that it say it would fit a wider weight range than some other , so I figure we could use it longer . so far -lrb- daughter be 14 week -rrb- it be still go strong -- not at all tight around the leg -- so I think we 'll be able to use it for a while longer , and I think it will hold up over time . +297 Baby NEG 2 I love the idea of this teether . unfortunately , I be not sure if I should we it . I just get my order from UPS . I sterilize the Raz accord to the instruction on the package . I put it in boil water for 5 minute . cool and inspect . the glue or adhesive that hold the ring part to the raz part melt away and the ring part be break off . very upset . I would have sanitize in the dishwasher , but I be in a hurry to give to my baby . a flimsy product . +238 Baby POS 5 do not look at the weight range when decide on a size . my son be at the top end of the size large weight range , but this item will still fit he for many month . instead , look at the height range for a more accurate size determination . my tall son be grow out of size 18-24 month clothing , but the size large sleepsack -lrb- size 12-18 month -rrb- will fit he for many more month . +215 Baby POS 5 I be give two of these cover and start use they when I bring my son home from the hospital . although they be a little big , and occasionally leak , I find they provide the best protection of anything I try . he be now six month old and can poop out of ANY diaper , except a cloth cover with a Thirsties cover . I like the new design where both tab have velcro on the outside , so no matter which side I attach first , the other side can layer over the first tab . +870 Baby POS 4 very useful and cute , my kid like they a lot and they seem very resistent . . so I recommend . +342 Baby POS 5 we daughter rely on this mobile to fall asleep every night and at each nap time . even when she be fussy and fight sleep , the mobile almost always draw she in even when I expect she to know better than to fall for its mesmerizing power . and when she be playful and awake , she happily watch it , kick she leg , until she burn off she excess energy and doze off . it be almost like a friend to she , comforting she when she be leave alone to sleep . this past weekend we be away from home and be without the mobile for one of the first time in she life -lrb- she be 7 mo . -rrb- . it take hour to get she to sleep , despite be obviously exhaust and despite have a different soothing toy there with she . it be so obvious she be look for it whenever we try to lay she down . the night we get home , she be overtired but seem so relieved to be reunite with she mobile . she doze off without a peep . I guess the only downside be that obviously she might be too reliant on it , but if it mean have a baby go down easily on a regular basis , I be okay with that . +680 Baby NEG 1 although these burp cloth look cute , please save you money . they be small , scratchy and have a strange chemical odor that do not come out even after soak and wash in Dreft multiple time . even my husband pick up on the odor , and he have a poor sense of smell . he tell I to throw they away . you do not want you little one 's face on these burp cloth . +256 Baby POS 5 my 7 month old grandson be in heaven ... he have two very sharp little bottom tooth and he immediately start chew and pull on this weird little thing . it be very pliable and soft all around and he love chew on the ring as well as the leaf . he do look rather clownish with the big green leaf on either side of he mouth but if he be happy , then I be happy .

I end up actually file thing , instead of carry they around for week ... the construction seem good to I , and I have no complaint with the velcro , and no need for stitch or pin . I carry a pda in a case , sunglass , some other gadget , and it work well . ca not really go wrong for the price too . +593 Bag NEG 1 this tool be not ground and be not properly insulate , I get a shock of electricity every time I use it . there be no speed adjustment , just slow , no power , my belt keep brake . the dust bag keep fly off .

I be especially impressed that I order they from Amazon one day , they ship the next , and they arrive the day after that . we have buy these from Amazon on a regular basis for several year now and will continue to do so . and I think the price have come down since we start order they . I can not believe we get they so fast ! we have two dog and the 200 count last about three to four month with pick up they poop every day . my husband like they better because they be thicker than most poop bag and do not tear , especially in the winter when the ground be freeze and harder to deal with . we highly recommend they , especially for big dog and in harsh winter climate , where you have to pick up after they . +325 Bag POS 5 I be a woodcarver and I use the Gatemouth to transport work in progress , along with my tool , on trip , etc. . it be roomy and also sturdy enough to protect the contents . +984 Bag NEG 2 pro : it be light weight make it good for vertical or overhead sanding . dust collection be good as long as it be not clog . con : switch quit work after 3 month , under warranty i should have have it replace , instead I think the same thing would happen again since it be the dust from sand , so I install a toggle switch instead . variable speed make little difference to speed , I bring it in for service think it be defective , no it be fine . dust exhaust clog easily and be hard to clean out . Belt removal be difficult , just make sure you do you bench curl everyday . Motor will not hold up to heavy pressure . would help if front handle removal be tool free . Summary : the most overrated tool on Amazon . +109 Bag POS 5 this bag be a necessity when travel with you camera . I own a Canon a620 , and it fit snugly in this carry case . there be just enough room leave to store a case of 4 battery , though it be a tad on the tight side . a nice little pouch be include to hold a extra memory card , useful for those who travel with more than one . my only gripe with this bag be that the neck strap be not quite long enough . it would be great if it be a foot or more longer , make it easier for I to wear it across my torso , rather than simply hang it over my shoulder . +634 Bag POS 5 this bag be awesome ... I use it to carry just about everything ! it be very durable and easy to clean . I can not believe it be only 29.99 ! +573 Bag NEU 3 this product , I think , be fairly ok . it only have room for 1 roll of film and it doesnt have a lot of padding if it fall . but the perk be it have a cool sleek design to it but it be what be on the inside that count . +183 Bag POS 5 compare with other ' price this camera case be do really fine with my digital camera . it look nicer than the picture , really worth . +552 Bag POS 5 better than expect . plenty of room for all my accessory ; battery charger , spare battery , camcorder , dig camera , cable , etc. . my camera be small so size be not really a issue . for I it be just the right size ... work great . +716 Bag POS 4 this be a simple bag that be about 12 '' by 30 '' inch or so with a wire clip that go around the dust port . it work pretty well in that everything expel from the dust port go into the bag , which be empty by just shake the sawdust out through the same opening . all together it catch about 80 percent of the sawdust - about what one would expect . the cloth be a thin synthetic and there be no zipper or velcro to make it easier to empty . +557 Bag NEG 1 I be surprise that some people give the dust bag a high rating . base on the sawdust that I sweep up around the saw and the sawdust collect in the bag , I would roughly estimate the bag collect less than 20 % of the sawdust create . I be expect at least 60 % . it be possible that other get different result depend on the wood that they be cut and the blade that they be use . at least , I be use my saw outside on my driveway . hopefully , I will get better result use my Festool shop vacuum . I purchase the bag from Amazon . can . great service . I be please at how quickly they fill the order . I be not so pleased how the book on plumbing that be ship in the same order get crease . +385 Bag POS 5 my lovely and delightful roommate buy this for I as a birthday present , and it be wonderful ! Roomy , very well-constructed , and with lot of pocket for all of my accoutrements . it be larger than I have originally anticipate , but that be a extra add bonus . Ideal for a weekend trip , or for drag all of you goody to and from work . it be aesthetically please as well , with the all-black waterproof matierial and slightly silverish piping that be reflective for safety . the shoulder strap pad be great-with a grippy substance on the underside that hold the strap just where you put it . what a great present ! +19 Bag POS 4 good size and shape . Easy to handle and do a much better job than my old heavy craftsman 4 '' x 21 '' po . I especially like the flat top ; even without the accessory frame you can turn this upside down and use it briefly as a bench-type sander . handle be position well for one-hand control from the back , or extra control or pressure add from the front . dust pickup be good with coarser grit belt , but diminish rapidly as you run finer and finer grits . I have the same problem as several other reviewer . the graphite platen pad on this new Bosch last only about 20 minute before self-destruct . it deposit lump of graphite -lrb- or the backing pad -rrb- on the wheel that make they bounce and shudder until I be able to scrape and clean they off . I find it hard to believe that Bosch can ignore such a well document and obvious flaw in they design . this have get to be fix in future version . +887 Bag POS 5 I love these bag . I have a great Pyrenees and along with that Great be the size of he poop . I can pick up he pile with one bag . I have large hand and they fit in the bag ok . +694 Bag POS 4 this carry case be perfect for my Kodak dc240 . it be only big enough to carry my camera , extra battery and perhaps 3 or 4 extra flash card . in other word , there be no needless bulk -lrb- the padding seem to make much of the size - but it give necessary protection -rrb- . it be much easier to access the camera and extra than all the other bag I have see -lrb- due to its outer flap and inner zippered flap that both open wide -rrb- . the only reason I do not give it 5 star be because the outer flap do not seal in such a fashion that sand and such could be well keep out -lrb- it be not really a problem on my caribean vacation however -rrb- . the other point and shoot camera bag I have see which could handle sand better due to a zippered enclosure - also be terribly difficult to get my camera in and out of . +958 Bag POS 5 I really love this bag . it hold everything and be really heavy duty . I have a canon 20 d , 30d , two ex 580ius 's , canon 70-200 2.8 l , canon 24-70 2.8 l , 50 mm 1.8 , sekonic meter , all my owner manual , notebook , ton of extra battery and charger , rain jacket , 4 cf card , with room to spare . at one time , I also carry my holga too . highly recommend . +458 Bag NEG 2 I buy one of these for my s-10 digital camera , and proceed to wear it around , somewhat extensively , after 6 or 7 month of own it though , the stitch along the zipper come totally out , render it somewhat useless . I replace it with a somewhat less fashionable , but more durable Samsonite camera bag . also the zippered opening of this bag be prone to slightly scratch or mar plastic , or antireflective coating such as those on camera lcd . +698 Bag POS 5 I need a bag that would hold my table-top tripod , battery , charger , memory card , book , cord and cable , wide-angle and telephoto lens , filter ... oh and the digital camera too ! the tripod fold down to 9.5 `` x4 '' so the first requirement be to find a bag with a interior length of at least 9.5 '' and width of 4 '' . I stack the camera , battery charger and lens on top of the tripod and find I need a bag at least 5.5 '' high . when I see the spec on this bag , it be perfect , 10 `` l x 4.5 `` w x 6 `` H. so , I must admit that the reason I purchase the bag be the size . upon receive the bag I be amaze at the quality and craftsmanship for such a low price . the seam and zipper be all double stitch . the shoulder strap and handle be make of extra heavy material . the ultrathick padding be exceptional . again I 'll say , quality and craftsmanship be the best . after put everything in the bag include the Olympus C-2040 Zoom digital camera I have room to spare . +142 Bag POS 4 look ok especially for the price . could be little bit smaller for my Pentax k100 since I do not carry all gear with I . but other bag be even bigger . +994 Bag POS 5 I do not expect to ever have to buy another backpack\/briefcase again . this hold my Handspring Visor , cellphone , wallet contents , car stereo face , document , and several book , and I hardly know it be there . much more comfortable than any backback I have ever own -lrb- with more pocket -rrb- and free up both hand for other thing , unlike a briefcase . the drink pocket keep a water\/soda bottle secure and easily accessible , and I get compliment on the way it look all the time . +847 Bag POS 4 this be a very handy bag for you jumper cable , small tool , flashlight , rag , and so on . one thing that bother I a little bit be if you just want to get to you tool -lrb- which you will use far more often than you jumper cable -rrb- , when you open the bag , the tool compartment be zip securely , but the jumper cable area be open . so you may have to fuss with the cable a bit . it would be nice to have each half zip close instead of just secure the cable when the entire bag be zip up . it be a very nice , durable , compact product and I be please with it . +57 Bag POS 5 this case be great . it fit my Canon s30 perfectly . the Tamrac 5694 case be recommend for the Canon s30 but that be really the wrong case for the Canon s30 because it be way too big . Case Logic CPS40 Koskin be really the perfect case . it fit the camera just right . the case be small and compact . it fit the camera snugly but leave just enough room to fit a media card and lens cloth . no , this case do not have any pocket or fancy compartment but in my opinion this would make the case too bulky . this case have a convenient belt loop instead a shoulder strap or strap that fit around the neck . I think the belt loop be much more practical . you do not have to worry about mistakingly leave the bag somewhere or lug it around . all and all this be a great case not just for canon but for any compact digital camera . plus the price be excellent . +403 Bag POS 5 I buy this to refinish the hardwood floor on a 100 sqft porch area . I do 3 pass with a 80 grit and a final with a 120 . this sander perform perfectly . it be fairly quiet , though you 'll still want earplug for extend use . it be well balanced , and do not get overly hot . change paper be easy . the bag collect most of the dust and compact it nicely . it work so well I use it to refinish a large work table the follow week . what a breeze . it take about 15 minute to sand the top and two bench with 80 , then 120 grit . it be not a finish sander , so I use a orbital sander with a 120 to take out a few scratch , but that be quick because it be just smoothing , not removal . the only strange thing be that the box be already open , and the sander have dust on it when I receive it from Amazon . I send it back the first time because I do not want to pay full price for a previously return item . but the next one from Amazon have the same thing - open box , dust on the sander . I can only guess that the factory test it and then leave it in that condition . why they do not at least put a factory seal sticker on the box I have no idea . but the sander itself work so well it redeem any packaging issue . +782 Bag POS 5 I buy the Bosch belt sander because , at the time , it have the best warranty . I plan to sand all the peel paint off my 1 1\/2 story clapboard house and repaint it . I think that I would go through at least two of these sander . I buy the belt by the case and spend several week sand the house . I would run this thing until it overheate and stop . I would let it cool down and go at it again . to my surprise , I complete the job and the original Bosch sander be still work good as new . I later find out that this sander be good for more delicate work . I have more control and it seem to lay flatter . it eventually die -lrb- smoke pour out of the motor -rrb- and I replace it with a Makita sander , a very robust and dependable unit . over all , I would prefer the Bosch for finer finish work and ease of use . +298 Bag POS 4 if you do not have many accessory this be a really nice camera bag . if you have a standard point and shoot with a fully retractable zoom lense this be the bag for you . it will have ample storage for you camera , memory card and battery . this bag have one moveable divider so you can adjust the compartment size for you camera . if you have a camera with any kind of lens adapter or if you have quite a few extra , I would highly recommend a bigger camera bag . +187 Bag NEU 3 the bag itself be great . the problem be that it be feature as be compatable with the JVC GRAXM225U Camcorder . well ... it be not ! it be too small . there be not enough room to hold the camera , the charger , the VHS cartridge , rca cable and a spare tape . it would be great for those who only want it to hold the camera and the VHS tape cartridge . but then where be you go to keep the rest of you `` stuff '' ! +111 Bag POS 5 I get my sander this past Monday ... I can not keep my hand off it ! it be already set up with 80 grit ... all I have to do be place the collection bag on top and plug it it . she run so quietly yet be so strong . the dust collection be wonderful , there be virtually no dust in the air ... or on the wood . I have be reclaim some 4x10 pine beam that be totally destroy by sun and moisture and have be wait for something like this sander to come along for the past 10 year . I change from the 80 to 60 grit ... and could not be happier ! I be use to my Craftsman 21x3 which be so loud you need ear muff and be so difficult to change belt that you avoid it like the plague . this Makita be just the opposite , quiet and belt change be as easy as pie . I just wish I buy this a long time ago ! +687 Bag POS 5 I use mine for 25 ' mic cable -lrb- several will fit -rrb- , 50 ' mic cable -lrb- ditto -rrb- , and extension cord . great solution for store , packing and carry cable for you next audio gig . I have try many solution for store and haul cable over the year -lrb- box , bucket , duffel bag , suitcase etc. -rrb- and this be the best I have find . +103 Bag POS 4 the shipment be receive in time and be nicely pack . this be a good bag and be small . the build quality be good and I use this to carry tool when I go for long drive . overall the bag be good but when I check similar bag in store those be little less price with similar quality as compare to this . but overall it be a good bag . +737 Bag NEG 2 Ok , I admit I should have pay a little closer attention , but beware . there be no jumper cable with this . this be merely a overprice bag . I suppose if you really like to keep you jumper cable in a heavy duty bag , maybe this be for you , but if that be the case , you may be use you jumper cable too much . let 's be honest , you hope be to never use these thing and if you do , you dont need they store in some expensive bag collect dust . oh by the way , this item CAN NOT be returned . so pay attention here and hopefully you be smarter than I be . +501 Bag POS 5 here be the deal , this be a table saw . it make sawdust . the hole on the back by the power cord be a sawdust exhaust port . if you have a dust collector , by all means plug a vacuum hose into that port and it may even collect all the dust . I do not have a dust collector , this mean the exhaust port throw sawdust a good 7 foot or so out the back of the saw . add this collector bag now mean I only have to sweep up directly under the saw , not under the saw and a arc 7 foot out away from the saw . to I it be absolutely worth it , but it will not replace a several hundred or thousand dollar dust collection system . +188 Bag POS 5 a great bag for a small-mid size digital camera . I have the Olympus d-490 zoom and it fit perfectly . the additional pouch hold my extra battery and memory card safely . Pretty sturdy construction and well padded for any accidental bump the camera may take . it be well make and you have a choice of wear the bag on you belt or use the shoulder strap . Compact and look great . +261 Bag POS 5 I just get this camera for my bar Mitzvah and it be my first good one . it work perfectly so far !! +611 Bag POS 4 I purchase this bag to accompany my Sony Digital 8 trv-103 . it fit great - not too tight , just enough room inside for a tape or two if need . the side pouch be a little tight , but have enough room for the remote control , two tape and a spare battery , plus a av cable . my only critique be that the bag do not have enough space for the ac adapter . while it fit in the main compartment with the camera , it be a pain to juggle it around when removing\/replacing the camera . nice leather-esque outside and rig bottom . a good bet for a small camcorder . +82 Bag POS 5 I have be use the dust bag for a week now and it work . be it a dust elimination system , no. . but it do cut down on my clean up by 95 % . not bad for a $ 13 item . I could not see run my table see without it . +184 Bag POS 5 whoa ! wow ! great ! be exactly what I say when I open the box and take out my new DeWalt Heavy Duty Ballisitic Tool Bag . the first thing I notice be the size , second be it be rugged quality , third be the well configured zippered opening complete with a inside velcro pocket for paper work and fourth the well think out pocket area both inside and outside the bag ! the color even match my new DEWALT 12-Inch High Tension Hack see Frame no guess which tool be mine ! tune and tool keep my project go . this be one awesome heavy duty tool bag gear to let I carry as many tool as I can lift at one time . this DeWalt be one sweet tool bag that will undoubtedly last for year . ~ the Boss +48 Bag POS 5 I need a new gear bag to hold my new d-slr , and the lens I buy for it . the bag hold : d-slr -lrb- Pentax k2000 -rrb- 1 18-55mm 1 50-250 zoom 1 28-80mm 1 75-300 zoom Extra filter . battery . ton of digital memory card . Pentax Optio P&S; , with its charger all cable to be use w\/my laptop . sunglass . GPS Cell phone , if need there be lot of pocket that can hold a lot more stuff . I like it because it have like a double-protection security system , where everything be securely fasten with velcro strap and extra connector . I actually buy two because I be collect more lens for my camera . I be very satisfied with this gear bag . I think it offer a very secure way to stow you precious camera stuff . +583 Bag POS 5 I love these bag . when I go out to work on a job , I just grab a screw bag , a nail bag or bolt bag and my cordless drill . I have everything on the job site -- all pre-organized . they be super rugged , I can not see how anyone could puncture or make one of these bag fail . +104 Bag POS 5 -lrb- this be a update to the review I post below . after several month of use , I be have a problem with the waste port ... the path that clear the dust from the surface to the bag . basically , it be get clogged and while this do not prevent the sander from work , it do prevent dust collection . clean the port be a pain , I have to disassemble the motor cover and use a very small screwdriver to push the clog out . -rrb- i really like this sander , but I can not comment on long term durability as I have only use it for about a month . nonetheless , Bosch 's reputation for build high quality power tool be pretty solid . the belt alignment on this be pretty much maintenance free , I have not have to adjust it yet . the overall design be outstanding , easy to use with one hand when you need to , and have good grip for when you need to bear down . the other aspect of the design that be top be that you can easily get into tight spot . the motor housing do not extend past the right side of the sander . the variable speed switch be nice , and it have a wheel to modulate the top speed -lrb- a higher speed would be nice , I think this be 1,400 feet\/sec -rrb- . the sander really be `` almost dust free '' , just depend on what you be sand . the dust bag be the only negative , it be small and need to be empty a lot . but after look at it , it probably would not be a big deal to retrofit another bag . Bosch 's 4x24 sander be also really nice , but it weigh 14 lb . the 3x21 sander be perfect for most job . +909 Bag POS 5 Unreal , get here quick in good condition and be just what I want . thank you +376 Bag NEU 3 this work ok , but I have not test it against hook up my shop vac since I can ' t find a adapter for my ridgid vac . I wish they have design the bag 4 inch shorter . when I fold up the gravity stand , the bag hang down and get catch up in the wheel . more than once , I fold the bag over the rod to roll the stand around , forget to unfold it and then use the saw . the bottom port fill up quickly and then really throw the dust back up through the blade area . +162 Bag POS 5 I purchase this bag for my Canon EOS rebel x , a additional lens , and a few other accessory . the bag I have previously be way too small and I feel the camera and lens be pack too tightly together . this bag be the perfect size for my need . there be room for another lens as well . I would say if you have several lens that you 'll be tote around , this bag may be a bit small . if you be look for a decent size bag that will hold you camera , a lens or two , and a few basic accessory , I would say this be a great choice . +824 Bag POS 5 I buy this sander to replace a older model with a non-centered motor . this tool be well balanced and have the motor over the belt make it much easier to use and eliminate my tendancy to tip the machine and cut into the wood . it be a heavy tool and the weight work in it be favor . the belt be easily remove and install with the single lock lever . the alignment be easy to adjust and the tool be relatively quiet . I have use it with the dust bag as well as with a vacuum hose . dust removal be pretty good with the bag but of course the hose be 100 % . the design make it easy to sand right up to a vertical wall and that have come in handy . I think this be a excellent tool for finish large surface like tabletop and get top notch result . +809 Bag NEU 3 I guess the product do exactly what it say . it hold jumper cable . and that be it . I be hope to have some extra space in the bag to put other thing , and make use of the little front pocket , but it really be too small to be of much use . but as a bag to put jumper cable in , it work great . just like a plastic bag from WalMart would . get it on sale , and maybe it be worth it . otherwise , I would pass on this . +133 Bag POS 5 the tool bag be a bit larger than I expect and be make of good material . all in all a good product . even smell like a tool bag when it arrive . have a hard bottom with pocket inside and out . more that enough . there be also a should strap include and it be not to long , just at waist level . Pleasent surprise . +618 Bag POS 5 not quite as big as I expect it to be , I almost wish i would have shell out the extra buck for the pro 12 to get a little extra comfort room in the big internal pouch . but , I do not think it would have be worth it a extra $ 40-50 for that little extra room . nevertheless this be a excellent bag and it be actually probably better that I go with the pro 8 instead of the 12 . it be big enough to fit it all , but small enough to carry it around everywhere and not be too much . this bag be definitely well build and durable , ready to take on the winter month come up with its total coverage top , 4 clip , a zipper and velcro to keep the top secure . the inside be nice with the divider and ton of velcro for maximum personalization to any gear you have . ton of pouch , pocket and slot for all that little stuff from memory card slot to cable , cord , cell phone or anything you can think of . so in this nice roomy little bag I manage to fit : - Stroboframe bracket -lrb- tight fit tho -rrb- - Olympus E-510 Dslr w \/ 14-42mm and hood attach -lrb- and strap -rrb- - Canon rebel 2000 film slr w \/ 28-80mm attach -lrb- and strap -rrb- -40 -150 mm lens w \/ hood - fl-50 ttl flash -2 nd manual flash - Portable Hard drive -1 Wireless flash trigger and 2 receiver - cable and cord - memory card , film and any other little thing like lens cap . - small tripod - plus plenty of room for little stuff leave in the pocket and pouch the only thing I have find be that this bag be slightly different from the description in that they must have come out with a newer model that do not have the detachable film bag , but do have red flag for memory card slot , check the Tamrac site for the correct version\/photo . overall it be a excellent bag and I be very pleased with it . +912 Bag POS 5 I love this case it be tough and durable and can easily fit in suitcase and it have lot of pocket for roll of film and extra battery if you have to choose one fairly inexpensive case I would choose ti one +923 Bag POS 4 worth the money but dont think you can use table see inside without make a mess .

I have a Hitachi Framing nailer that do not come with a box or bag . I order the Hitachi bag through my tool guy and it take a while to come in , so I order this bag think he forget about it . this bag be awesome and I be go to be buy one for all of my other gun without case . it be sturdy , open easily , and provide adequate protection for storage in my work truck .

I be do a lot of comparison shopping on-line and even use the Lowepro Matrix -lrb- a list of all Lowepro bag and which camera fit best in they -rrb- and they recommend the d-res 10 aw . I find that place my camera in vertically give it too much space to jostle around . place it in the other way give a snugger fit , but now there be a gap between the top of the camera and the bag . the `` gap '' will accommodate 2 cf card with case and the pouch , a battery , give that configuration . those with compact camera such as mine should consider look at the d-re 8 model . it be more compact , cheaper , although it do not have the all weatherproof cover to pull over the case like the d-re 10 . i also recommend store the desiccant in the case to avoid moisture ruin you camera . you can just pop they in the oven when they have absorb too much moisture to redry they so that they can be reuse . overall , I think the bag be a fine product . just make sure you visit a store to find the best fit with you equipment and accessory . +944 Bag POS 4 I do not like briefcase and I would rather use my backpack for hike . i use the messenger bag for work all the time .

I have not use it much as a laptop tote , but it work well for that . otherwise , the laptop pocket be great for transport papers and magazine since that compartment be separate . the outside pocket be roomy without thing get too lose into it , and there be extra hang pocket inside the main compartment as well as a removable keychain clip . the bag itself be lightweight but very durable . it be awesome as a airplane carryon . this be a fabulous value at $ 5.95 when I buy it - worth well over that price . +437 Bag POS 4 I just receive this lowepro bag today for my Canon Powershot camera and it be much better than I expect . the compartment be very handy and not oversized ; just enough to carry a extra memory card and\/or battery . there be some padding and a soft fleece lining . the velcro divider in the bag be removable or can be position along the width of the camera . but one of the best feature seem to be the hidden nylon weather hood , which pull out from the back bottom edge of the bag and cover the case . I usually carry a plastic bag along just in case of downpour , which have soak through my pack , to keep camera and equipment dry . hopefully , this weather hood will do the trick .

I have not have any of the problem mention about some other bag -lrb- leak , rip , fabric knotting , zipper fail -rrb- . although I be move up to more and larger equipment , this will always be my casual shooter bag ! the only qualm I have with this bag be the shoulder strap . the strap be just a plain nylon strap with no slip prevention or shoulder padding . I believe that Samsonite might have consider -lrb- with the large capacity of this bag -rrb- provide a non-slip padded cover for the strap . long trek yield a lot of pull the bag back up on you shoulder and painful welt . thus the 4 star . +541 Bag POS 5 I purchase this cable bag in conjunction with Coleman Cable Systems 08660 20 ' heavy duty 4-gauge Jumper Cables -lrb- also sell by Amazon -rrb- . this bag swallow the 20 foot of four gauge cable and can easily accomodate a longer , heavier cable . the product dimension be 13 inch in diameter x 4 inch in depth . Bucket Boss make high quality product that will satisfy the most demand consumer . if you would like to protect you booster cable and reduce clutter , this product do a outstanding job . +182 Bag POS 5 put this on my wish list right before Christmas and , ta-da ! find it under the tree not long after . have only have it a short while , but like what I see . probably one of the biggest factor with it would be the size\/weight ratio . have a steel or even plastic toolbox this size present challenge if you want portability . the material seem really tough , but give you the ability to carry it around -lrb- obviously depend on what be inside -rrb- . the exterior level carry loop give I a easily accessible place to put my 2 foot level , so that be a bonus . look forward to a long work life out of this . +936 Bag POS 5 as a life long woodworker , I have own many belt sander and all I can say about this BIG baby be you have better keep it move . the material removal be fantastic and it do the work because of it perfect balance and pretty heavy weight . the weight be not that much of a factor because all you have to do be stear it . the dust collection system work better than any sander I have ever have , that bag be fill very quickly with fine dust . it be important to be mindful when sand because like I say staying in one place to long can quickly leave a indentation . I read all the reveiw on this one and the smaller one and have to say it be a very hard choice but as one reveiw say `` what do you want a variable speed for we be here with this sander to get the material off as fast as possible and that mean run she full out , of coarse with decient sand quality '' well THIS MACHINE do that-no reget on the weight matter or ANY THING ELSE . I be sure the lighter one be a good machine and if I be go to do alot of wall or overhead sanding , the weight matter would be a much bigger factor . buy the way , what they say about the noise level of this machine be true . it be unbelievably quite for the punch it pack . I do not hesitate to give this machine a well deserve 5 with all the experiance I have have with other sander . +960 Bag NEG 2 while a great concept , this dust collection bag prove of little worth to my dust collection effort . I find that hook my shop vac up to the dust ejection port on the back of my Bosch table saw be infinitely better than this bag , which only collect about 50-60 % of the sawdust +150 Bag POS 4 I buy this sander after try the Dewalt and have it die in about 15min of work . after research other sander , I discover B&D; own porter-cable and delta , along with Dewalt . since every B&D; tool I have ever purchase fail , I be hesitant to give B&D; my money . I choose the Bosch after compare with its twin , the Ryobi be321 . the sander be well balanced and comfortable in you hand . it take a little get use the `` brick '' design , but the egornomic be great . it have the power to get the job do . the dust colletion be average . Afterall , it be a belt sander ! I would recommend this sander to anyone . +693 Bag POS 5 jumper cable have a tendency of get all tangle up in you trunk . this be a nice bag make out of durable material that keep thing all nice and neat .

I highly recommend they to anyone who have a similar line of work . +915 Bag POS 5 after look at several review for belt sander , this one be always at the top of the list and have great review to boot . I put it to work right out of the box and have use four belt on it with no adjustment at all . it be easy to install a belt and the bag do a good job of pick up sawdust and it make it pretty fast . it be heavy , but that help with the task at hand . just be sure to hold on to this thing . it will not slow down when the go get rough , it just power right through to the end . my local orange box store do not carry it , but they do rent they and the only thing remotely negative they have to say be when it run over the cord , it eat it . the cost of rent it over several day verse buy it be a no brainer . this will be my go to sander for all my big job . +700 Bag POS 5 5.0 out of 5 star Perfect bag for knitter and other crafter ... , September 18 , 2009 by mahlers2nd `` Mommy of many interest '' - see all my review -lrb- top 500 reviewer -rrb- ok , this bag be obviously intend for macho application -- carry power tool to be throw in the back of `` pick 'em up '' truck but this bag be perfect for the crafter in you life as well . why ? let I count the way : 1 . cost -- this bag will last forever but unlike some of the more decorative bag like ArtisanStreet 's Taupe Animal Landscape Tapestry Carpet bag with detachable shoulder strap . feature pre-historic animal in the Highly detailed fabric design . use as a overnight bag or even as a briefcase , this still have classic look for 1\/5th the price . that will buy a lot of yarn or fabric to add to you stash ! while it may not look as `` refined '' as a tapestry tote , it still have classic look and will last LONG after the tapestry tote have start to give up the ghost ... 2 . size -- if you like work on large project -- full-size quilt , afgahn etc -- this bag give you plenty of room to store you work in progress plus you material to be use . 3 . pocket galore -- perfect for quick and easy access to pattern , needle , thread , measure tape and just about every other notion you could imagine . 4 .

BTW , these also make great airline carry on bag to carry book , a change of clothes , etc as well . +934 Bag NEG 2 this bag have lot of pocket for battery , cord , and memory card , and plenty of room for my Olympus C-4000 camera . unfortunately , within 3 month of purchase it , the attach handle begin to tear , and I can only use the include longer strap . +388 Bag POS 5 I love this tool bag . I have own it for about a year . I be in the heating and air conditioning business and love all the storage . it have plenty of pocket inside and out . even the guy at work like it , 2 of which immediatly buy they own . now I have to watch which bag I throw tool in , make sure it be my own . this bag be very heavy duty and can take abuse . I have own many different tool bag over the year , and this be by far the best one yet . I would definitly purchase this same bag if this one ever wear out . +589 Bag POS 5 I buy this bag think that for the price I would get a commuter tote with about a six month life . instead I get the perfect bag ! I use the notebook section to put book , magazine and a -lrb- paper -rrb- notebook . I can then fit anything in the main section , include a complete change of clothes . for example , tonight I have two small notebook , three magazine , my wallet and checkbook , my cell phone and pager , cough drop , candy , a 15,000 page credit manual , and seven file folder . plus pen and other junk . the strap be large enough to sling the bag over you shoulder so you can center the weight a little more comfortably . it also have a great key clip , a convenient little pocket the perfect size for my train pass and access card , and a roomy outside pocket for stuff you want to grab quickly . +397 Bag NEG 2 bear in mind that I really just want a basic point-and-shoot camera , I have to say that I do not think this camera deliver all that it be suppose to . I run some test roll of 400 -lrb- manufacturer-recommended speed -rrb- and be not happy with the result -- blurry background when I be not use focus lock on the foreground , and washed-out color -lrb- which might be the film , but might be the camera -rrb- . also , I wish I have listen a little more to the reviewer who mention how the move red focus box in the viewfinder `` freak '' he wife out . I be also bother by the move focus box , could not figure out what they be tell I , and just want to take a good picture . the final blow : my mom 's 20-year-old Canon Sure Shot take great picture , better than this Minolta and she really just pick up the camera and press the button -- not even worry about the occasional use of fill-in flash . if you be look for a slight upgrade from you regular point and shoot , this camera may be for you -lrb- shoot some test roll , and maybe look at one in a store somewhere first before order from Amazon -rrb- , but it be not the best fit for I . I be give it 2 star because some of the problem I have might be due to user error . +543 Bag POS 5 I be a hobbyist woodworker who make furniture from solid hardwood , mostly black ash , oak , and maple . this involve glue up a lot of panel of vary size , all of which need to be sand . this sander be purchase to replace a 4x2l craftsman which do not collect a scintilla of dust and be a real `` screamer '' . this tool be a comparative joy to use . it be surprisingly quiet , have wonderful dust collection , great balance and lot of power . track be flawless , and its weight add to the ease of sand horizontal surface . the long cord be a nice feature as well . do not buy this unit if you be go to sand vertically , though . it be too heavy . but for heavy duty sand application of horizontal work , this thing be a winner . I would buy it again in a New York minute . if you need a good belt sander , you need this one . +779 Bag POS 4 I be look for a case for my Dewalt nailer . Dewalt do not offer one . Came across this bag and it be a perfect fit . +241 Bag POS 5 i be very disappointed that all camera accessory bag CAN NOT be SHIPPED to LOCATIONS outside of the U.S. I hope this will change in the near future . regards , rm +566 Bag POS 5 First belt sander I have own , seem to work great , easy to change belt and adjust for straight running . pick up dust very well . I have fill the dust bag several time already . be easy to control , well balanced and either aggressively remove wood or provide a very smooth finish depend on belt coarseness . keep it move so you do not dig a hole . Tom +784 Bag POS 5 this be a great belt sander , just be careful it be very aggressive , you need to use a very light touch . the dust collection , as in most woodworking product , be just ok +279 Bag POS 5 great bag for my Sony dsc-s85 , fit perfectly . anyone with camera of like size could use this model Lowepro . Quality of Lowepro be great , fitment with camera be superb , it be light and protect . Lowepro be the best bag for the money , you be hear it from a `` very '' satisfied customer . +278 Bag NEG 2 I be look for a bag that would be big enough to carry my Nikon d300 , 18-200 , 70-300 , 28-70 and 17-35 lens . not to mention assorted filter , battery , flash card , etc. . I think , after do quite a bit of research , that this bag would suffice . and I suppose it might , if you carefully tuck everything away in the bag and never actually try to get at anything . sure , the bag will hold a bunch of ` skinny ' lens -lrb- problem stuff in my 17-35 -rrb- , but those lens be bury under layer of padding velcroe in such a way that make all but the expose camera and attach lens readily accessible . for example , the camera and attach lens have to sit on the ` second tier ' of padding in order to use the ` lens gate ' . under the body , totally hide , might be another lens . another problem with the body and lens sit high up , be that the bag 's center of gravity be higher up and more prone to dump out you gear . and speaking of velcro , try to rearrange the pad be sort of like herd cat . another problem be the storage space - there simply be not enough zippered compartment to hold loose item . the front compartment be less of a pouch and more of a sleeve . the side pocket only velcro shut , good luck if it rain . and inside the top lid ? Great for store piece of paper , that be about it . the bag come down to personal preference . I misfire by choose this one . +180 Bag POS 5 the Makita 4x24 be a workhorse with all the power you 'll ever need in a belt sander . it also have a very comfortable feel to it and be very easy to use . the bag collect dust better than any other model I have try and be able to reposition it with the swivel fitting be a major plus . I have also try the Dewalt and a Bosch , and there be no comparison in the product ; the Makita work best , hand down . +349 Bag POS 5 these bag be convenient , strong , easy to use , and handy to carry around . we like they so much that we give out sample to other dog walker we meet . +586 Bag POS 4 I find this be perfect for carry my Sony Mavica fd75 , the batter charger and a few disk . there not much room for anything else , but then what be in it do not flop around - which be something I really like . the quality be good , I think this bag will last a long time . for the price , you can not beat it . +294 Bag POS 5 we have use these bag ever since we find they provide at we national park area . I hate use newspaper bag or grocery bag and I find that a lot of the other bag on the market be just as flimsy and if you have large hand , they be difficult to hold on to the waste and turn inside out . we pay about the same price as at the local pet store but get double the bag . never leave home without they . not sure about the comment that they be flimsier than before , they be still 100 % better than a grocery bag ! +985 Bag NEU 3 buy this after work with a similarly design model by Ryobi . be partly happy with the Ryobi -lrb- which have poor dust collection -rrb- but it finally die , and the Bosch get much better review . try the Makita with self tracking first but the platen pad be too wide , about a half inch on each side of the belt to sand the uneven board of a deck or get close to a wall . the makita be very nice and the dust collection be excellent , but I just could not bear the design . I have high hope for the Bosch , and it seem well make . unfortunately the graphite pad wear away in spot in less than a half hour , and finally tear when the belt snag on it . at $ 12 each I think I 'll stay away from that trap . try use it without the graphite pad but during the first hour of use with 40 grit belt it clog three time and could only be clean out with compress air interrupt the whole routine . also seem to go through belt too quickly and be a tiny bit underpowered . the fein vacuum work well for this application though . overall I do not think anyone have a good enough tool out there yet , and all these model seem to be 10 year old as of 2010 . +290 Bag NEG 1 notwithstanding that many people who have evidently never drop a camera be recommend this case , it be inferior in every respect to other case available at a similar price . I return this case and order a different one of similar size , make by a different manufacturer . if you be curious as to what that would be , just do a search within Camera and Photo for 5693 . or check my other review . this case have only a layer of soft foam padding so thin that you can compress it to the thickness of a sheet of paper with the slightest pinch of you thumb and finger . it be incapable of absorb any useful amount of energy , and hence incapable of offer you camera any significant measure of protection . this case use a zipper closure that be not only inconvenient as compare to a snug-fitting flap that close with a side-release buckle , but also , wear of the camera at the point where it will inevitably rub on the zipper , will be unavoidable . this be a horrible design , altogether inappropriate for the intended purpose . the cover that pull out and cover 3\/4 of the case might help to deter water in situation where it probably would not get wet anyway . the other case that I order will be not quite as good in this respect , but if I be concerned about the camera get wet , I 'll use a plastic zip-lock bag either around the camera inside the case , or else around the case . something else that I do not like about this case be that it use that fuzzy nylon -lrb- or polyester -rrb- for the lining , which be the same stuff that you see use a lot for line the pocket of coat and jacket . it be suppose to simulate soft cotton , but it be not the same . the fuzzy fiber have a way of stick to my finger . in the jacket that I have that use this stuff , every time I put my hand in the pocket and then pull they out , the pocket lining would come out along with my hand . I just do not like the scratchy feel of this stuff , and I prefer a smooth lining that simulate silk instead . +253 Bag POS 4 the case be sturdily build with two zippered closure and a adjustable shoulder strap . the exterior bottom panel be a nobby ruggedize material that probably be waterproof . the remainder of the case exterior be pebble grain leather-looking material . the main compartment for the camera be easily access via the zippered front flap and be pad on leave , right , back , and bottom . top and front padding be thinner . the inside of the main comaprtment flap have a zippered pocket suitable for hold a memory card . inside dimension -lrb- inch -rrb- : 6h x 3.25 w x 2.5 d the main compartment zipper opening be 3 inch wide . the smaller zippered compartment be on the back of the case . it contain loop for 4 aa battery , a zippered pocket suitable for a memory card or slim remote control , and a second unzippered pocket that be a little smaller than business card size . i get this case to house a Olympus d-40 zoom digital camera . the main compartment be far too big for this camera . by itself , the camera would rattle around inside the case . I have fill the extra space by put a carry case for 4 aa battery into the bottom of the main compartment and add a pair of light sock to fill in the remain space . this leave the smaller compartment free for the remote control and a small notebook . I be keep the case . it provide more than adequate protection for the camera -lrb- with sock install ! -rrb- and will work fine for day trip and similar short outing . +292 Bag POS 5 I would be look for a inexpensive bag for my new Olympus E-100 r for a couple of month . most bag be too small or too big for the camera . this one be just right . very reasonably price too . +703 Bag NEU 3 this bag be too big for my Fuji Finepix 3800 . the quality be great and I like it , I would have love it have it be a little smaller though ... defeat the purpose of a digital camera bag if you have to haul a huge bag . if you want to carry additonal lens and stuff - its a good buy . value for money in any case . +54 Bag POS 5 this sander be use to prepare a very large table top for my family that be make from old 8\/4x 10 ' oak . my exist wookworking equipment be not large enough for this size of lumber so I use the Makita to flatten and square the piece for assembly . it do the job I expect . +237 Bag POS 5 still go strong after 6 year . have take a beating , but still in good shape . Bosch be quality . +175 Bag POS 5 my wife buy this for I along with some clamp . she buy it so that I have a place to store my new clamp set . I be so impressed with this bag that I now use it for my everyday tool bag . I have to carry a combination of small and large hand tool to each service call . there be so many great pockets\/spaces to put my smaller hand tool and the bag be sturdy enough to carry my heavier tool inside . I use to buy a red and black craftman tool bag every year on the christmas sale and by the next year I would have to replace it because it be so hammer . this bag not only work well as far as function , it also have hold up incredible well for someone who be tough on it everyday . +928 Bag POS 5 finally find a bag that will fit my 20 ft water hose , along with a 30 foot flat hose for my rv , as well as a 3ft hose . no kid it all fit . it will also hold various tool in a divide compartment that I need when I hook up to a water source . I be also order another to hold my 50 amp rv electrical cable . it will hold that along with a 30 to a 15 amp adapter and a 20 ft. length of 15 amp extension cord . all of the hose and electrical cord need to be neatly roll up , of course , but I be already do that anyway . +351 Bag POS 5 I have a old tudor-style house with lot of oak paneling and trim . my other sander be 5 '' and 6 '' Bosch random orbit unit , and 1\/4 and 1\/2 sheet Porter Cable finish sander . the Bosch 1274dv belt sander fit in perfectly when I need more aggressive sand action on the wood paneling and oak door . I have even find it light enough to use on vertical surface and even overhead trim for short period . it be very effective remove the old finish and quickly expose the raw oak for refinish . I use the 1274dv first and then follow-up with the random orbit or finish sander for perfect wood preparation . although other do not care for the bag dust collection -lrb- and neither do I -rrb- , my method for control dust be to remove the bag completely and attach the sander to my shop vacuum use the Bosch hose . I probably capture 90 % or more of the dust . I have have no trouble with this sander since I buy it from Amazon 18 month ago . then again , as a homeowner , I try not to abuse my tool so I have be fortunate with the overall reliability from my Bosch , DeWalt , and Porter Cable tool . I would buy the Bosch 1274dv again in a heartbeat . by the way , I just order the Bosch 1276dv belt sander -lrb- 4x24 -rrb- from Amazon to give I even higher productivity refinish pine paneling in my den . +743 Bag POS 5 purchase as we need to get more prepared for on the road problem like dead battery . tough fabric , nice look , the little pocket on the front be nice for papers etc. . cable fit nicely inside . +526 Bag POS 5 this be a exceelent bag for amateur and professional photographer like I . this bag be very protect of a good size and it feel nice to have it . it also have a special little bag for filter and film , in which you can access in a emergency . +901 Bag NEG 1 my bosch 1274dv have maybe 3-4 hour of use even though I have have it for 6-8 year . just not much into woodwork but when you need it you need it . I think a internal gear must have go out . no repair place except 110 mile away . not much use in put money into repair and have it do it again . very disappoint in the product . +157 Bag NEU 3 this bag be 1 '' longer and 3\/4 `` wider than the cbv12 & 15 . it also cost ... more . I buy the cbv15 which be a bit smaller and I really like it . the cbv12 be the same size but incude a detachable camera bag as part of the size . you have to decide what be best for you . here be my review of the similar cbv15 : the great advantage of this bag be that the entire top unzip -lrb- it be actually a double run zipper which give you a wide storage space while everything stay in place -rrb- . it be great for my movie camera so I get another one for my digital still camera . I can keep 20 minus cd plus mark pen , extra battery and charger , and my bulky but essential viewing hood . when the bag open you can see everything , place everything , and when it close everything stay in place . after a year I have decide the design be probably the most convienent I have use in 30 yr . +862 Bag POS 5 fit my Canon A-620 perfectly . have space for 4 extra aa battery . separate storage for extra sd card . and very well padded . on top of all that , it be weather resistant , too . for the price , I can not imagine find a camera bag better than this one . +625 Bag POS 5 great bag very nice layout I use it with two Nikon body five lens and two large flash and then a ton of other stuff in the many compartment . bag seal up very well and the strap be of a great design too . all together i think anyone that have more than one camera body should have this bag . +851 Bag POS 5 the quick background ... I be more diy than a serious woodworker\/builder . I have a old old house so lot of thing I have to make , molding be a big one . I originally purchase this to help sand some floor in a dinning nook , but have not make it that far yet . but I find another use that seem like it could help I out in . I be make a transition piece between tile in a redone bathroom to hardwood in the kitchen , but the floor do not line up level -lrb- do not ask I do not do the floor in the kitchen -rrb- . so the transition piece basically have to have a rotate bevel cut into the surface and I do not have a band see or table see that could do what need to be do . sorry the sander do not do it all , actually most of the cut be do by hand . now to the actual review ... so as I look at this rough cut piece of wood I pull out my DeWalt orbital sander and go to town . 30 minute later I be not impress with my progress . I think about what else I could do to expedite the process , and I come back to my new belt sander . now I receive it as a Christmas gift and it be still in the box -lrb- await that flooring project that be just oh so far away . -rrb- now I have never use a belt sander before , or see one in use other than on tv ... where they usually go fly across the room . I mean do a floor be one thing , sand on a difficult to hold down piece I have be work on for several day be another . I unpackage it , and low and behold it come with a 80 grit belt already install ... -lrb- well that save a trip to the hardware store for a change -rrb- . I thumb through the book , really straight forward . a simple lever to change the belt and a knob to adjust tracking . I fire it up and be amaze at how quiet it be , even on the fastest speed it be quieter than the orbital . the tracking be spot on from the factory . I setup my piece and in 15 minute or so I be do . now obviously I have very limited use with it so far , but the only fault\/nit-pick I can find right off be the speed control . it have excellent range , but not great linearity . three and down seem slow and want to bog down the sander , jump to four and you be cut fast . obviously it be adjustable between 3 and 4 , it just seem to have a sweet spot where you be a little low on power then to where you better be move quick . that spot probably depend on the wood and grit I imagine as well ... -lrb- really just something I notice and think I would pass along . -rrb- all in all I think it be go to serve I well . it be heavy and solid , feel pretty good in you hand even though it look like a brick . slow enough to do fine work -lrb- well as fine as a belt sander do -rrb- , yet powerful enough that I do not think floor will be a problem . the speed control be more than worth any trade off of not have it . and I be sure experience will help I fine tune what speed I need for what project . +20 Bag POS 5 I be shop for the Boss Tool Roll , and come across this item which let I store my always-tangled jumper cable in my truck in a tidy little container . make from very heavy-duty nylon , this have adequate room to handle a set of heavy-duty 16 ' jumper cable . the zipper be tough enough to handle the load . I be plan on buy another one to hold my tow strap ! +223 Bag POS 5 I buy two bag - one for myself and the other for my 17-year-old son -lrb- who now have he first vehicle -rrb- . the bag be very sturdy , large and attractive , which be more than I expect . we pack they with jumper cable and other auto necessity , and they easily fit in my car and he small truck . Perfect gift for a new driver . +565 Bag NEG 2 this bag appear to be very durable and have ample space for storage . the problem be access the storage area at the bottom of the bag . in order to get to the storage area in the bottom of the bag you have to remove everything from the top . we return the bag for this reason . this bag would have be perfect if there be a zipper access along the base that open up the bottom storage area for easy access . +420 Bag POS 5 I purchase several of these and use they for extension cord , battery cable , compressor hose and rv water hose . they be make of tough material and help one to organize all those coil of `` stuff '' . the bag help save the coiled material inside from abuse and make thing easy to find and more snarl-proof . +800 Bag POS 5 this will become one of my favorite . it be well design , comfortable and easy to use , very powerful , and feel like it will last . if you plan on use this on glue-up , invest a little more and get the sand frame . and most surprisingly , the dust bag really work ! +523 Bag NEU 3 I agree with another customer - the bag be rather large , but usable . the bag I receive be also miss the divider . +832 Bag NEU 3 this bag be a bit bigger than I think . the inside be foamy with firm padding to protect my ... g2 camera . but , I can really fit two g2 -lrb- s -rrb- in the bag . it do feel like a small little girl 's backpack for I . I do not know if this be good or bad . the right side have a zipper to store you cable and wire . the back side have another zipper to store you pens\/memory card . yet the inside be large enough for I to put my digital camcorder Sony trv17 in there . take in mind that my Canon g2 be much much smaller than the Sony trv17 . but it can fit well if I store my battery charger and cable inside and put the camera on top . but then I really do not want to scratch it . that be the whole purpose of I buy this bag . now , I will have to think of something to pad the inside down to a smaller space . with the strap , I really feel like I be wear a purse for a guy . without the strap , hold it upright , I feel like I be carry a purse . and I really do not want people to snatch my ... purse away : -rrb- . +905 Bag POS 5 the pro 8 be one tough cookie . my goal in find a great gear bag be one that could hold 2 slr body and 3-4 lens , a flash and multiple other goody . the bag have to hold it securely , be weather resistant and have top-notch foam padding . i.e. build to last , so my camera gear would , too ! I shoot in all season , even winter in Minnesota . I can slip one or two of those neat little `` hand heater '' pad into the bag in the winter and the insulating quality of the pro 8 keep the gear warm . the opposite be true in summer or when you must leave you gear in the car during warm day . a `` cool pack '' in one of the spare compartment do the trick for keep thing at a reasonable temperature for hour . the detachable film bag go right from the fridge to the pro 8 quickly , or detach for inspection at airport in a snap . if you have one camera body and 1-2 lens , use the extra space for lunch ! the pro 8 be worth every penny . +546 Bag POS 4 I order this without think much about how much help it would be . I have only use it a few time , but already I can see that I 'll do as the other contractor\/reviewer say and buy several for different type of job . this first one be hold assorted screw , bit , bit holder , tape measure , etc. so that when I be start work , I do not have to search through box and bottle for the thing I 'll need ... I just grab the bag and go . I carry it by the outer string rather than the loop handle in the middle and this pull the top tight so nothing be likely to spill unless I drop it . I like it ! good purchase . +322 Bag POS 5 no regret buy this . Works as expect and track stay very true . happy to have another makita tool in my shop +99 Bag NEU 3 I buy this bag think that I could get my 40d with a 28-70mm zoom mount -lrb- with lens hood -rrb- and then my other 3 lens into the bag . it turn out I could not include my 170-500 Sigma lens . I put it back in its original bag and hook that bag to this bag . I have to take out just about all of the divider as they come . I be able to get my camera with the lens -lrb- no hood -rrb- and the battery grip into the bag , my 70-200 canon l lens , my flash and my 100mm macro Sigma lens into the main compartment . the three lens hood be all just lay on top . the other pocket and such be fine . I be just very disappointed with the room of the bag inside . I think from now on I will have to go to a brick and mortar store to see the product and buy it there . +164 Bag POS 5 I have really come to love this bag . everything be sew well and feel really sturdy . the foam use to cushion the compartment in the bag -lrb- there be a moveable divider -lrb- attach with velcro-style strip -rrb- in the main compartment -rrb- be sturdy and protect the contents well . there be space enough for a medium size digital camera , a compact battery charger and battery , cable , and a few memory card . this bag also have a weatherproof hood that come out of a hidden zipper to wrap the whole thing up and protect it from rain -- a very cool feature . anyway , I know it be hard to get too excite about a bag , but this really be a cool one . +483 Bag POS 5 as with all Lowepro case they be rugged and almost indistructable . some of the best think out case on the market . but in this case why not suggest that shopper look and the line that Lowepro actually have create for Digital Cameras . they have a series of about a half dozen case specially design to be use with digital camera . the Nova Mini be a great bag but the d-res-50 be better , have soft inside so that you lcd display will not get scratch from the inside material , they have little velcro devider to that you can adjust the bag to fit the size of you camera and even little pocket inside that be design to accomodate digital camera accessory like extra memory card and extra battery . they even have a hidden rain jacket to protect you electronic equipment from the element . the hard ware on the d-re case be make of metal instead of plastic makee they not just practical but design to last through the age . and like all lowepro case it carry a lifetime warranty . the d-re 50 be the middle bag that Lowepro make for digital camera they have one that be half the thickness that will work with most digital camera also and two smaller than that if you really want a compact case for you little digital camera . I do not think that the Nova Mini be a bad bag quite the contrary , it be great and cheaper than the d-re series but I do feel it lack some of the greatest part of the d-re series and thus why I would rather see you suggest the d-re series of bag for digital customer . +866 Bag POS 5 this morning I receive the messenger bag and it do really come up with most of my expectation . I could not help myself to get on this web site and review this product right now , after make some test of course : - -rrb- First of all , about the soutside : the design be really great , clear and elegant , the Amazon.com logo discreet -lrb- it doesnt make you a living advertisement sign for the company -rrb- . the bag be roomy and there be place for plenty of stuff , e.g. several book , magazine , personal item ... the material be of good quality and you wont have to worry about you stuff in the rain ... I would have wish though that the material be a bit thicker and sturdier , similar to the messenger bag of the Freitag brother ... the different pocket inside -lrb- especially the one for my Palm V or any other pda -rrb- help you to get organize a bit easier . the clip with the key ring be a nice add-on , but you do not have to push very hard to get the key away , so I be not sure if it will be that safe , a little pressure and they be go ... I do like the protected compartment for the notebook . it be in a safe place , away from the other item you might carry . a quite good feature be also the little pocket with zipper on the back flap , allow you to stow the magazine you just buy in the bag without have to open the front flap ... this be very handy if you be too late and have to run to catch the train or bus : - -rrb- the mobile phone pocket be neat , but slightly too small for my Noka 7110 . I can squeeze it in , but can not really close the flap . another quite nice add-on be the mesh pocket on the outside for a can of a beverage or a small snack . it doesnt get in touch with you document and other item . this be very handy in case you crash once with you bike : - -rrb- the foam padded shoulder strap be great ... if the bag be heavy , it be still confortable to carry and it holdp perfectly well on you shoulder . other small thing to mention , especially for biker , be the removable reflective tape a the webbing loop to attach a lead in the night . this bag be so far the best bag a biker can wish for . +208 Bag NEU 3 one benefit of this bag be that it be so ugly thief may move on to a more fancy , trendy camera bag . people will not mistake you for a professional photographer , either . the bag hold the camera in the padded main compartment , memory card and the usb cord in the internal pouch in the lid and a thin flash and spare battery in the external pocket . to fully close the wrap-around zipper on the lid , one may be in the habit of flip the brim of the lid back to expose the zipper . over time this action may cause the synthetic material of the lid to crack , which be what happen to mine . it still work fine , though . +837 Bag POS 5 I buy this bag about 18 month ago because my kit have outgrow my previous bag . I generally carry two Nikon d80 together two battery grip and four lens plus filter , battery charger , lens cleaning kit and so on . one thing that I particularly like be that the bag be long enough so it that will hold two camera body each with a battery grip and lens attach . this mean that I can minimize the time that I have to change lens and so help to keep the dreaded dust away from the camera sensor . the lens that I generally leave attach to the camera be a Nikon 18-200 zoom and a Sigma 10-20 zoom . the internal divider can be move about and reconfigure to suit you own requirement . the top zip down over the main compartment and connect to the side and front of the bag with four plastic clip buckle . there be two side pouch which be still accessible when the main compartment of the bag be all zip up . these be hold close by velco patch . I find these quite useful for thing like a mobile phone that you want use without open the whole case . it can get fairly heavy when load with kit but the shoulder strap and handle do a good job of spread the weight . the bag be within airline carry-on size but be careful if the airline impose a weight restriction on hand luggage . the only disappointing thing about the bag be the so-called ` Piggy-Back Pocket ' which be suppose to allow the bag to be slip over the handle of roll luggage . I can not get this to work - every time I have try to use it the bag swivel round the handle of my luggage . nevertheless , this be a minor problem and I now leave the pocket close and use it to carry a newspaper or magazine . overall , I be very pleased with this bag and would recommend it anybody want a well make camera bag that can carry a large amount of kit . +854 Bag POS 5 I love this bag , it be perfect for my tool around the house . I be always look for something , tape , pliers , hammer , screw driver . instead of always ask my husband where be this and where be that . I have my own tool box . I be order 2 more for my daughter for Christmas this year . you can not bet the price . +677 Bag POS 5 I have have this bag for almost a year and be about to buy another one . great price -lrb- $ 11.40 today Nov 21 , 2011 , about $ 2 less than last year -rrb- . quality seem fine so far . I be replace a hard-shell case that come with some Sears all-copper heavy duty jumper cable because the soft bag be a little friendlier to the stuff float around in my trunk and take up less space . -lrb- no , I do not work for Sears . I just think anybody else shop for high-quality cable might save some time by look there . they seem to be the last one leave offer a decent-quality cable . -rrb- Edit : for those interested in Amazon 's day-to-day price manipulation , it be price at $ 12.30 on Jan 18 , 2012 . the new bag be great , btw . hold together fine with a heavy set of 20 ' copper cable in it . Bucket Boss 06009 Jumper Cable Bag +806 Bag POS 5 as with all other Bucket Boss product I have own , this one be excellent in construction . it hold a substantial amount of tool along with a set of 20 ' 2 gauge jumper cable . replace two bag in my truck , one for the cable and one for hand tool -lrb- full socket set in 1\/4 and 3\/8 , collection of pliers and screwdriver , etc. -rrb- . I would highly recommend this product ... +993 Bag POS 5 after purchase my first camcorder , the next thing be to pick up a nice case to keep my investment safe . my initial reason for purchase this bag , be because of the Samsonite name . however , once I receive the bag my pleasure go beyond the name . besides a numerous amount of pocket space to hold all you extra goody , the main compartment have a adjustable velcro divider that hold you camera snug while you be on the go . a feature that the description above fail to mention . overall it be a great case for anyone look to store they camcorder in a safe place . +911 Bag NEU 3 purchase in August 2008 and use everyday for tv service call . be as it as use as such and not load heavily with tool I expect it would last 5 year or so at least . the plastic slide shoulder `` pad '' that slide freely on the shoulder strap give out last year . then , one of the shoulder strap tie point rip off . now , the metal `` frame '' around the mouth have start protrude through the fabric . I be expect more from something advertise as heavy duty . I have contact the company and will update if and when I get a response . in the meantime I have order a replacement , another Bucket Boss , the Super Gatemouth . it be not a bad product , just do not expect to get a `` lifetime '' of service , unless you idea of a lifetime be 3 year or so . +488 Bag POS 5 this bag be smartly design ... many compartment to put you camera stuff . in my bag , I have just enough room to put my digital camera and a point and shoot film camera in the main compartment -lrb- which be separate by a divider -rrb- . the inside be plush so there will never be damage to you lcd display . there be also a area in front of the main compartment with two plastic pocket . in one , I have a smartmedium card and extra battery ... in the other , I have jam in a lens cleaning kit . i really like the two strap -lrb- one shoulder and one for be hand hold -rrb- and the weather hood that be hide in the bag for rainy day . the only complaint I have be that the bag take a dip in the front where the zipper come down -lrb- for style probably ... look at the gray area on the photo -rrb- . if it just come straight across instead of dip down , there would be more vertical room in the front area . overall though , great bag which can hold lot ! +386 Bag POS 5 nice sander aggressive , I replace the metal platen with a graphite one for less friction and flatter sanding . fairly quiet , much better than Porter Cables 4x24 . we 'll see how it hold up . I build custom furniture so I use it lot . +528 Bag POS 5 the bag be the right size all of my tool fit into the pocket stand up there be plenty of room for my hard hat and spair part I work on oil rig and have the lock be great it keep the snoop out . I can fit everything in one bag I wouldent trade it for anything . I know DeWalt would not let I down thanks . +147 Bag POS 4 it be a bit large-then again I be only 4 ' 11 '' , so everything be BIG for I . I do not have a laptop either , but I need something that can hold alot of stuff -lrb- I carry everything but the kitchen sink , ya know ? -rrb- and this tote \/ purse can and do do it ! and for the price they be sell it at right now -- it be the best deal around ! you can not go wrong with this . +459 Bag POS 5 I consider buy a Timbuktu DeeDog bag before I find out about Amazon 's . although the amazon bag be a bit smaller than the DeeDog , it have pocket for everything . the fabric be great and look like it 'll have no problem keep out the rain . the detachable key holder be a favorite of mine too . I have no problem fitting in my many book and folder for school and the laptop pouch be great . I ride with it over my shoulder every day . completely recommend . BTW , not only do the amazon bag organize you stuff better than the DeeDog , it be about 1\/2 the price ! the one benefit I could see of the DeeDog be the `` Cross you heart bra '' style strap for stabilize the bag , but it be not enough to compete with the other feature that the amazon bag have . +387 Bag POS 4 I own a Sony Digital8 camera , and this bag hold it perfectly . it be well-constructed , and the pocket hold extra tape and battery , wire , etc. , with some room to spare . while I be happy with this purchase , I would consider spend extra money for the crinkle nylon version -- the Micro Fiber be sturdy , but not as plush as the nylon . +876 Bag POS 5 ... this case actually have a hidden rain jacket to protect you electronic equipment -lrb- worth probably hundred if not thousand of dollard -rrb- from the element . the inside material be also design not to scratch lcd display and it be quite a rugged case for such a little bag . oh and do I forget to mention that it have a belt loop on the back so you can wear it around you waist and that the hardware be metal instead of plastic . a bag that be really design to last . Great for digital still camera and a few accessore like card and a small battery charger or axillary lens . highly recomend for digital camera . +637 Bag POS 5 another good quality product from Bucket Boss . these bag be make from heavy material with good quality zipper . I be able to easily fit a set of 12 foot long heavy duty jumper cable , several clean shop towel and a small bottle of waterless hand cleaner in the bag . the pocket on the outside of the bag be pretty small . after evaluate the quality , I plan to get another one for my wife 's car . +332 Bag POS 5 I agree with the other reviewer regard the flat side , it give flexibility for sand small part and make adjustment after change belt . as a add bonus , I be surprise to find that the shop vac hose attachment from Bosch that I purchase for my orbital sander work with this belt sander . this make it much quicker to achieve a smooth finish as it really help to pull the dust off the work surface . I recommend purchase the hose attachment . dust bag , regardless of the tool brand just do not work as well . all in all this be a fine product for a reasonable price . +123 Bag POS 5 a excellent tool bag for my pneumatic gun . well make at a affordable price . I have use it for over a year , no problem . +91 Bag POS 4 this be a excellent bag for hiker or cyclist who want to travel light but wish to be able to bring along a minus camcoder or camera for those photo moment . the compartment be big enough to hold you camcorder , spare battery and a few filter for you camcorder . +402 Bag POS 5 after decade of carry loose jumper cable and separate tool box in the trunk of car or rear compartment of van and suv , I now have everything in one bag . there be enough room for a basic selection of screwdriver , adjustable wrench , flashlight , shop towel , etc. . it be such a attractive package that I have slip a small cable lock through one of the bag 's handle and a tie-down ring in the trunk -lrb- not both handle , as I want to be able to open the bag quickly in a emergency -rrb- . I be concerned that it be so attractive that someone at a car wash or auto shop might be tempt to remove it from the trunk . +957 Bag POS 5 easily hold my canon elan 7 and rebel 2000 camera , along with speedlite and 3 -lrb- 1 telephoto zoom -rrb- lens . ample room to spare . compartment hold accessory and room for load of film . very well construct . would be a good deal at full price - a steal at reduce price . +794 Bag POS 5 have this item about one month . Compact , but hold a lot include the cable , several bungee cord , bind rope , flash light -lcb- 2 c-cell size -rcb- , folding knife and pocket for map or other small item . it fit in a small hold under the jump seat in my Toyota pick up . I will be get another for the wife 's car . you can not go wrong with this bag . +954 Bag POS 5 hold both my video camera , and two regular camera . lot of pocket for all the gear , and sd card with empty flag . all the compartment be adjustable to fit you gear . get it ! +572 Bag NEG 1 I have own this sander for a few month . buy it for remodel work I be do to my house but I also have a little work shop where I make box and some furniture . this sander have pretty well take up residence in one of my wood vise . I use it alot in my shop . the belt stay on track and variable speed be really nice . I have a large 6x24 belt sander but it really do not get any attention anymore . I would recommend one of these in place of a stationary sander as it be so versatile . +260 Bag POS 5 this bag be wonderful . I buy my husband new 16 foot cable and they fit very easily and neatly into this bag . keep it organize in the trunk and easy to find . highly recommend . +83 Bag POS 5 we have be use this product for year and love the convenience and efficiency of this item . the heavy plastic protect you hand , and the bag size be large enough that you can tie a knot in the end to seal the bag until it be dispose in a garbage receptacle . pick up after you pet be quick and easy with Mutt Mitts . +426 Bag POS 5 well finish , balanced , beauty ... a very very nice camera bag . I be not fond of back-pack or kangaroo pouch for carry my photo gear . I prefer the classic , standard , shoulder-hanged bag . I particularly feel this one as a very safe and rugged one . you 'll find enough space in it to accomodate body , lens , flash , and several minor gadget . side-slip pocket be a real hit , very handy indeed . +304 Bag POS 5 I can say that I be very happy with the bag as I buy it to carry a set of the Michelin 5100 cable that have the large box to protect from reversed hook-up for my wife 's car . it be pretty easy get the cable set into the bag and it stow away nicely in she spare tire area . with the Michelin cable though there really be not much room for anything else in the bag . still it be a good bag for jumper cable that either do not come with a bag or have fall apart . +791 Bag POS 5 this bag save I a lot of time on my clean up when I be do work in my shop . and the saw dust come in handy for spill that occur in other area of the house . +410 Bag POS 5 I buy this for the back of my suv . I have two 50-foot extension cord and a 25-foot bounce around in a box , and when I see this I could not resist . pro : Quality : the fabric and the stitch look awesome . con : size ... if anything it be on the small side , which could be good , because it could easily fit under the driver 's seat in a truck or van . but I do not even try put the second 50-ft cord in after I have the first one and the 25-foot cord in there and snug -lrb- both be 14 awg -rrb- . I would buy it again , and I would rather buy two than a large bulky one -lrb- multiple cord get heavy fast -rrb- . thus I think it deserve five star , even though it be smaller than what I be originally look for . +425 Bag POS 4 have read the review by another user for he Canon XSi , I buy the bag for my Canon XSi . the bag work great for the camera with the kit lens -lrb- 18-55mm be -rrb- mount . the camera be store with the lens face downward into the bag , and two velcro adjust flap hold the camer body in place . the bag will only work for camera with telephoto lens that be about 3.5 in length and nothing longer . there be enough space for another accessory on the side , either a flash or another lens , but nothing more . two configuration will work best : a. camera with either kit lens or telephoto lens -lrb- 55-250 -rrb- mount face down , flash place vertically tuck under the flap on the side with no camera grip , this scenario be great for studio\/indoor shoot . b. Camera with telephoto lens mount face down , and the kit lens tuck behind the flap on the side with no camera grip . the all weather cover be nice to have , but will take up a lot of space away from the front pocket . the top lid with quick snap on work well to protect the camera . the only complaint I have be that the top lid do not by default open fully , which make take the camera out harder while the bag be hang around you neck . when the bag be set on a flat surface , it be easier to bend the top lid backward and make the entire opening available for camera placement . overall , the bag do a fine job for carry the camera and the basic accessory , which be all most people will ever need . the bag be actually a earlier generation of current nova series product , the new sibling be nova 120\/140\/160 aw . there be not much difference between the old and new , and the nova minus cost a lot less . +564 Bag NEG 1 as mention in another review here , you best bet for collect sawdust from you table saw be with a Shop Vac or other shop vacuum . this bag , instead of collect dust , impede the flow of waste material and make more of a mess in the shop than run the saw without the bag . it will collect some material , but far more material be blow up from the saw and into the work space when the bag be attach . +130 Bag NEG 1 this thing be 100 % useless ! it hardly collect any dust at all , and what be worse be that it cause the dust tube on the saw to clog up , thereby cause the blade `` well '' to clog up and spit dust back in my face . not cool ! I throw it in the trash . +28 Bag NEU 3 while I agree with the other reviewer about the clean styling and ability to turn it upside down , I would have to disagree on the dustless and durability point . after use the sander for about two month the variable speed switch have to be replace because it would no longer work . also , because the opening use to gather the dust be very thin . therefore , when you work with fibrous material , it clog very frequently . I would also like it more if it have a little more weight to it so that with very hard wood you do not have to press down . but , this can obviously work against you with the softer variety . +379 Bag POS 4 this bag be 5 '' shorter and 2 1\/2 '' narrower than the cbv12 & 15 . it also cost ... less . I buy the cbv15 which be a bit smaller and I really like it . the cbv12 be the same size but incude a detachable camera bag as part of the size . you have to decide what be best for you . here be my review of the similar cbv15 : the great advantage of this bag be that the entire top unzip -lrb- it be actually a double run zipper which give you a wide storage space while everything stay in place -rrb- . it be great for my movie camera so I get another one for my digital still camera . I can keep 20 minus cd plus mark pen , extra battery and charger , and my bulky but essential viewing hood . when the bag open you can see everything , place everything , and when it close everything stay in place . after a year I have decide the design be probably the most convienent I have use in 30 yr . +306 Bag POS 4 the bag seem to capture most of the sawdust and it be reasonably easy to empty . it meet my expectation . +987 Bag NEG 1 never even have to take it out of the bag . one review state he fit he # 2 gage jumper in this ' I would sure like to ask he how . this bag be SMALL . I have a heavy duty set of cable in my f-350 and it be not even close to fitting . a standard size set could fit ? this be go back to Amazon . advise - roll you cable up and measure diameter and height of the roll . +166 Bag POS 5 I love Bucket Boss product . this be just a unique and well design product ! I use mine to hold a 50 foot heavy gauge extension cord plus a 20 foot medium gauge with three outlet and a wrench to change the blade on my Skil SHD77M 15 Amp 7-1\/4 - Inch Mag Worm Drive circular saw it would easily fit a couple of smaller extension cord along with the one already store in it , or carpenter pencil , utility knife and speed square as a cut guide ! I love the feeling of have my sloppy extension cord neatly stow away in this bag . it also make carry they to the jobsite much easier and I do not have to worry about the cord tangle during storage or transportation . I love the extra pocket for tool storage , this really extend the usability of the product . you can have you extension cord , jumper cable and whatever tool be specific for you application together in one compact unit ! I think this be a excellent solution and the bag be construct as to live up to the Bucketboss reputation for durability ! now I just need to get one for each of the car ! +527 Bag POS 4 if you do not want to pay $ 50.00 for a branded slr case , this be a excellent replacement for you . it be as durable as most of the semi-hard case , while provide you additional room for more acc . some time you just want to pick up one on-camera lens and go , go with this one ... +406 Bag POS 5 this be a very good product . I like the fact that the material be tough and heavy duty as cheap plastic one just rip and crack . I will give this 5 star because it be the best jumper cable bag I have ever see on the market . +359 Bag POS 5 love these buy five of they ! ~ I bough these for all of we ... myself , my husband , my daughter , my son , and my daughter in law ! ~ they be super nice and I love the the fact that it be just what you need in case you need it ! ~ +38 Bag POS 4 this camera bag be really great . really the only reason I do not give it 5 star be because it be actually a little too big . I can fit my digital camera and my video camera -lrb- and it be not even one of those new tiny one -rrb- and still have plenty of room for extra bag and card and cord , etc. . it be really great for tote it all , but if you be try to go with the bare essential , this be certainly not the bag for you . +492 Bag POS 5 I have give this sander limited use so far , but it have perform flawlessly . Belt track nicely without need adjustment , and the sander be light and easy to control . it work very nicely for the first project -lrb- shape the edge of a culture marble shower wall -rrb- . +799 Bag POS 5 recently buy the worldproof 3.02 for a trip to Costa Rica . it fit my camcorder , all the cable and charger , two mini-dv tape , the instruction manual and there be room for we mini digital camera and extra aa battery too ! I carry it easily on the plane use just the `` regular '' handle , but could easily open out the shoulder strap for hand free . we go everywhere with it -lrb- lot of sandy beach , sailboat , snorkeling , etc. -rrb- . very stable when you set it down - do not slide around in a boat or a vehicle -lrb- important on costa rican road ! -rrb- great bag ! +765 Bag POS 5 this be one fine tool for the job of sand we boat ! I do not think I would have find a better deal anywhere else for as good quality and $ as I do here at Amazon , not to mention the fantastik 2-day delivery ! thanks again , Amazon ! +297 Bag POS 4 before I have this bag , I have a cheap nylon bag that come with my camera . it be ok , but not like this ! this one have everything ! pack with pocket , customizable divider , large front accessory pocket , and side mesh - it have it all . Great for a 35mm SLR camera and at LEAST two lens and a flash . plus , it hold around 3 roll of extra film ! you could use this for a compact camcorder , but make sure you know the measurement . the only drawback be the shoulder strap - which be just ok , nothing special . +238 Bag POS 5 Perfect fit for Canon A540 camera . especially like the interior be so soft-protects lcd from scratch and have a place to keep spare memeory card a a download cable . all-in all one of my best online purchase . +215 Bag POS 5 I buy this to store tool and jumper cable in the back of the car . great size , fit everything I need in there . sturdy . +870 Bag POS 5 I be not expect much , but be impressed with how useful and durable these thing be . especially consider the price . different drywall screw in one , exterior screw in another , tapcon and other anchor in another . I love these bag . Update - as of April 2012 , almost two year later , these bag be still hold up . no tear or broken string tie . highly recommend over the yellow plastic bucket tray . +342 Bag POS 4 I buy this case as a accessory to my HP 315 PhotoSmart digital camera . I like the camera very much so it may be bias my view of the bag , but here go : I like the bag . it be attractive to look at . it be a bit big for the camera I buy , but too big be better than too small ! it be get one main pouch that be very large and I use it to hold my camera and all my cord . it have a shoulder strap that I do not like -lrb- because it make I look like a tourist -rrb- . overall it be a very good bag , if a little large with a ugly shoulder strap . +680 Bag NEG 1 it be so unbalanced ... it will turn on its head whenever a cam-body be inside ... . I use with a k7 , and crack it because of the really bad balance of this package ... warning : do not buy it ! +256 Bag POS 5 Super solution to a nagging problem !! I find this dust collector just right for my contractor saw . I be usually work in home for remodel and this dust collector make end-of-day clean up a lot easier . the zipper bag be easy to empty and the volume be just right for a day work . ca not find any fault with this item - wish I would have know about it sooner . +124 Bag NEG 2 my first project with this tool be ~ 64 sq. ft. of peel deck plank . I break or shred 3 belt in the process and the handle get very hot . by the end the graphite pad have worn badly and also leave a number of black mark on my deck . my old Dewalt 430 have none of these problem on the same type of deck . also the sander do not seem wide enough . a new belt stick out about 1\/8 '' over the side and tracking adjustment do not help . maybe this be why belt fail so fast . if I have buy this at Lowes I would already have take it back . on the positive side it be light and compact and the dust collection work well . it be just not up to the abuse I need to be able to give a sander . diff --git a/test/CableModem.txt b/test/CableModem.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..f51937d839e18db1dfd8ea60a9b870a241e9e84d --- /dev/null +++ b/test/CableModem.txt @@ -0,0 +1,200 @@ +316 CableModem NEG 2 Modem would restart itself all the time and recently have be do it more often . finally I say forget it and be use the Cisco one provide to I by my internet provider RCN .

I do plan to call amazon and see what they can do though . +220 CableModem POS 5 I know up-front from other review that get this modem to work as a replacement for my old docsis 1.5 + + surfboard would require talk to the folk at comcast , and restart several computer and a router . the changeover be simple once I get past Comcast 's hell-spawned robot answering system with its vehement attempt to `` help I '' and be able to speak with a person in billing . yes , it be billing which handle the whole `` MAC Address to customer id '' mapping ; they also provide I with the answer the outsourced customer service could not , regard whether and how much I would pay and benefit from a higher price datum plan . it be well worth it .

I unfortunately end up with the later . some just apparently throw up they hand and return the modem to sender . do not do it . I stay with it . hopefully my experience will put you over with the come up smile guy . it literally take I all day . while Comcast 800 line people be patient and try , they be of little help . number one , I talk to three different tech ... that be after wade through the phone tree three time and wait on hold up to 20 minute each time . and two trip to the local Comcast office . each of course come from they own perspective and none know what the other have say . none of course could slide into my chair and hand on see-and-solve . throw in Comcast 's confusing terminology , and the seemingly unnecessary activation screen the company deem necessary for `` activate '' the modem and ... after five hour and the last tech , who tell I he screen show the modem be activate , I decide that if I be ever go to get the modem to work , I would have to figure it out for myself . then I do what I probably should have do in the first place . I haul the spaghetti pile of cable and hardware out of the cabinet , and disconnect everything right to the cable entrance at the wall . then I hook up the sb6121 modem to the cable , run the ethernet cable from the modem directly to a desktop computer -lrb- bypass the router ! -rrb- , plug in the computer , start the computer , and try to go online . it work ! the modem be activate , and it work ! so then I start over , connect first the modem , then the router , then the computer , plug in each , one at a time , modem-router-computer , only later add the Oomo Telo box and 2nd computer to the router when I know everything be work and work well . the Motorola sb6121 modem work like a charm . you 'll love it . ... we will not talk about the cable company -lrb- : Motorola could have help immensely by include in its instruction sheet the most basic of trouble-shooting information . could save some buyer 's hour ... and Motorola a lot of unnecessary return . for that , only four star . +418 CableModem POS 5 have be use with Comcast for about a month now and have not see any outage and speed be always at advertised or above . very good modem , I have always have great luck with Surfboards and this one seem to be just as stable or more stable then the 5100 .

Hang up on the rep who will not set up you modem and call you local office - finally , I do get through to someone who do not even ask for model number and all they want be the MAC and serial number - here be the problem , my device address end with a `` b '' and the rep apparently could not assign a b to the system and take it upon herself to enter a `` 8 '' and never tell I about she change . so , a phone call to tech support and then back to customer service to change a 8 to a b - then back to tech support - it be work perfectly . tip : be certain to tell they you be use a DOCSIS 3.0 modem , that way the `` b '' will be accept . and then ask they to repeat the MAC address and DOCSIS version prior to end the call . you will save about 5-6 hour in phone call . additionally ; I do have digital voice and Tech support on `` that day '' say that none of the telephony modem work with Time Warner . they have ask I to pick up a free splitter and two short coaxial cable from the local time warner office so that I can connect both device . once both device be connect , time warner say they would not charge a monthly fee for a deactivate modem be use for phone call only . +325 CableModem NEG 1 the first one I be with Comcast for two hour try to put the modem on line but the modem be keep reset it self every 20-50 seconds .

I let it slide for a couple month but after the second or third reminder I figure I better look into replace the device . since I balk at pay Comcast anything more than necessary I know I do not want to rent one from they . so I research various model and with the knowledge the old Motorola never let I down I decide on the sb6121 . it receive good review online and the price be right at Amazon . I receive teh product when promise and quickly install it . I do have to call Comcast support to provision it . basically that be only to give they teh hardware or MAC address of teh new modem so they could configure my account . less than five minute later -lrb- and a pitch for they VOIP service -rrb- I be up and run . first question I have be do it improve my speed . could be a placebo effect but I would say yes . various `` speed test '' site indicate better speed both download and upload . for the price I be happy . hopefully long term test will confirm my previous experience with the brand and it will remain stable and reliable . +887 CableModem POS 5 receive modem before due date , and the price be right ! it be easy to install and setup with Comcast within minute .

I be happy with that since I only subscribe to the `` Performance Starter '' level of internet service from comcast\/xfinity -lrb- $ 45.95 \/ mo in ag , Georgia . -rrb- . so at the former $ 7 per month lease , this cable modem will pay for itself within a year . it have be quite reliable and my only reservation be the amount of heat it generate relative to the previous , smaller-size cable modem . +958 CableModem POS 5 I have not update my modem in quite a while , probably two year . these new DOCSIS 3.0 modem really make a difference .

Works great ! +994 CableModem POS 4 I receive the modem before the estimate arrival date and immediately plug it to my cable and activate my new account . I be surprise to get 25\/4 mbp speed . this product be worth the money . +847 CableModem POS 5 this be a fantastic purchase . I receive a ota signal from tower that be approximately 45 mile from my home . the antenna I have be not adequate for the distance , but do the job for the most part . typically I receive a signal strength in the 20-30 range . I purchase this signal booster and it change the way we watch television . I do NOTHING else but add this signal booster . in some case , the addition of this booster triple my signal . I be now able to get three additional channel that I be originally unable to receive . I can not predict how this will work for you but it be a great addition to my home . +57 CableModem POS 5 I have the ubee d3 .0 cable modem combine with a D-Link DIR-825 Extreme-N Dual-Band Gigabit Router now that Charter have fix -lrb- or so we think ... -rrb- they pipeline issue it be blazingly fast - now we routinely hit 50 + Mbps downstream and 4 mbp upstream -lrb- when it be off-peak usage . during peak usage at time we be lucky to get 1mbp ... if that much ... -rrb- Charter guarantee 70 % of the sell rate , so if you be pay for a 30 mpb package they only guarantee 21 mbp downstream when the computer be direct wire to the modem without a router . this modem be fully capable of handle several future `` upgrade '' Charter have indicate they will be roll out since by the spec it should be capable of a minimum of 150 mbp downstream and 100 mbp upstream . if you be rent you cable modem from Charter or you cable provider , the Ubee be a good replacement to save money . warning though - they may think it be they own device so be sure to label the modem as yours when you buy it and keep your documentation ! I use the Epson LabelWorks LW-400 label printer -lrb- c51cb70010 -rrb- yes , we can remotely send print job directly to we home printer via we wireless broadband connection use the ubee d 3.0 modem and the D-Link router mention previously ! +403 CableModem POS 5 we be have trouble receive some high def channel . some be pixelated , other just do not come through at all . we install the bda-s2 where the cable come into the house , and we problem appear to be fix . we cable get split to 6 different port , and this boost the signal at those port to a adequate level . fdc power level go from -17 dbmv to -6 dbmv . the cable modem still work just fine . we have not notice a improvement in its performance but we also never really have a problem with its performance . +782 CableModem POS 5 Cable modem be not something for you to take care of in daily life . a good modem should be install and forget . it be the reason why I do not upgrade my modem from docsis-1 to docsis-2 until 2009 . I do not do it until I realize my internet speed be much slower than what Comcast promise then . that upgrade raise the average download throughput from 5 to 15mbp . I have be use the same internet service for more than one decade . the cable company promise 1.5 mbp at very begin . with the same monthly rate they push up they promise speed gradually . the speed be raise to 20mbp recently . but you can not enjoy the speed boost if you keep use you old hardware . my 3-year old Motorola sb5101 be also a good install and forget modem . but the connection speed can become very slow in evening , the rush hour of residential internet . docsis-3 provide the channel bonding feature which be better in retain bandwidth even in rush hour . you must contact the cable company to activate you new cable modem before use it . it be not a big deal for I because I do it twice in past decade , but I can not recall all the detail . the first Comcast specialist try to activate my sb6121 many time w\/o luck so that he transfer my call to a 2nd tier specialist . he ask I to power-cycle my modem -lrb- shut down then turn on again -rrb- , then it work flawlessly . yes , power-cycle be a necessary step in activation . the first specialist forget it and waste I almost one hour . my download speed be quite stable -lrb- 16 ~ 21mbp -rrb- now , even in evening . the throughput be only slightly faster but much more consistent than before . it work as promise . Internet technology keep evolve so that you can not always install and forget it . update -- I replace my old Linksys router with e3200 one month later . now the download speed be always fix at 25mbp , 24\/7 . look like 25mbp be the speed cap set by Comcast . the sb6121 + e3200 combo should be able to run even faster if I be willing to pay higher monthly rate . once again you need up-to-date gear in order to get full bandwidth from the internet connection you pay for . +298 CableModem POS 5 I never know that you could buy you own modem . perhaps it be just I not pay attention , but cable company charge far too much to rent a modem to you . for what it would have cost I in a year to rent a modem , I could buy the Motorola surfboard and have it pay for itself in about 10 month . check with you cable company on approve modem . this one be a 3 star recommend modem from Comcast and it have yet to fail I . it be fast , reliable , and easy to set up - so easy that someone without much experience with technology could set it up . +187 CableModem NEG 1 I be in a bind and I need it in a hurry . it arrive earlier than promise and in good condition . imagine my surprise when the technician plug it in and it would not connect . I be in a bind so I have to rent one of they modem until I could replace it . my other option be to wait and pay for another service call ... I need the connection asap . I buy a better cable modem at the big box and get a much better deal . and it work when we connect it and plug it in . foolish I , I do not shop the price like I should have . the exact same modem be $ 30 cheaper at the big box . I return the modem to Amazon . no muss , no fuss , no hassle . they reverse the charge promptly . this transaction have change my opinion of shopping at Amazon . two bad experience with Amazon within the same month . I will be more careful with future purchase . +111 CableModem POS 5 nothing like go with the standard in modem , Motorola . I be get 25mbp with the old standard DOCSIS model now I get 34mbp . the blinking blue light when you router connect seem backwards since all the other light be solid when eveything be good but just something small no big deal you just need to remember that the bottom light blinking be a good thing but if the other blink it be not . +687 CableModem POS 4 I buy this Motorola bda-s1 and the PCT amp to try head to head . BTW , the PCT amp be also sell as a Channel master product . the specification of the PCT and Motorola amp be so similar that it seem likely that they both contain the same integrated circuit . pct 1-port bi-directional cable tv hdtv amplifier signal booster with passive return path however , nothing be inside of either product except one integrate circuit chip , so neither product be really superior to the other in that regard . the enclosure on the PCT be perfectly adequate . swap out the Motorola and PCT amp a few time , I find that they perform identically on all station , whether strong , extremely weak , or middle of the road . both amp clean up the glitch on all of the station that I expect to receive in pristine condition . both amp allow I to add one low power analog station that I could not receive without a amp . neither amp cause any degradation to the quality of any station . both amp produce identical signal strength on all channel as measure by the on-screen signal strength meter of my plasma . the short story be that I have give the PCT amp five star . this Motorola bda-s1 get four star for deliver the same excellent performance but at a higher price . read on if you be interested in the condition of the comparison . if not , you be do . I drop Comcast as of June 1 in favor of broadcast hdtv and Netflix streaming . my antenna farm be located in the loft of a detach garage . currently , my uhf antenna be the primary antenna , augment by two VHF antenna that only receive one channel each . winegard hd9095p uhf high-gain 39-element hdtv antenna the two VHF antenna be join in a monster Standard RF Splitters for CATV signal mkii - 2 way rf splitter as the system have grow , I find that I need to add a antenna amp . the detach garage do not have electricity , so each amp be use in remotely power mode . the amp be test be place just after the blonder-tongue zuvsj in the garage use a one foot jumper . neither amp include a power inserter , so the remote power be provide by use a Pico-Macom HLSJ as a power inserter from inside the basement of the house . I have 100 foot of quad shield between the power inserter and the amp . during the testing , I also have 25 foot of quad shield from the power inserter to the plasma . finally , pay no attention to the genius who insist that product like the PCT and bda-s1 signal amplifier can not be use with broadcast hdtv signal . a good rf amp be a good rf amp . both product cover the entire broadcast tv spectrum and then some , and both have a input noise figure of about 2.5 db . both product deliver exceptional performance as antenna amp , exactly as they specification would suggest . true , neither product be package for direct exposure to precipitation , but that be a entirely different matter from say that they only work on cable tv . there be a lot of really bad advice in these customer review . +103 CableModem POS 5 wow ! this booster have change my tv watch experience . my picture quality be very poor prior to install the booster . I have line on all my local channel and the picture quality be weak . the cable company could not come up with any solution and provide some bad reason for the problem . I go online and do some research and find this signal booster . be my picture quality 100 % perfect ... no , but the improvement be huge and the money spend for a higher quality splitter be well worth it . the only complaint be that you have to purchase a coaxial cord\/connector to connect the booster to the power source ... I do not realize this at the time of purchase so I have to make a extra trip to the store . +737 CableModem NEG 1 buy this before read the review , and it turn out to be total junk . my cable company , whose name be prominently display on this thing 's box , spend 2 hour on the phone with I and we could not get this thing to work at all , so come back here to Amazon and go with a surfboard - which work perfectly out of the box , take the cable company two minute to activate and do . do not waste you time with this turkey . too bad there be not zero star . +501 CableModem NEU 3 I believe I be get a modem with the econ switch on it . some be so equipped and some be not . I do want the econ switch . other than that the modem be work and arrive in good condition . I suppose I should have ask question and pursue the matter . it would have be nice if the seller point out quite clearly that no econ switch come with modem . oh well . win some . lose some . +188 CableModem POS 5 the modem be purchase to use with my new internet ready WIFI tv which be in my living room about 30 foot from my desk top and modem . the modem be fast and provide a signal equal to be hard wire to my tv . I be very pleased with my choice of modem . +261 CableModem POS 4 I move from a rent modem to this one . it be easy to setup and I could use it right away . since I already check if the modem be compatible with the network provider -lrb- Charter -rrb- , it might have help I . of course , I do not see much spike in speed after move to DOCSIS 3.0 modem , but it might be due to Charter not provide speed of DOCSIS 3.0 . I also do not have the problem of restart the modem . hopefully it do not throw new surprise . ; - -rrb- +611 CableModem POS 5 install right where Comcast cable come into the house for Digital HD cable with 2 dvr 's and internet . problem with lose channel and pixelated tv be solve . I would highly recommend this . +82 CableModem POS 5 what be there to say ? this modem be stable and always responsive . if my internet go down , it be now because of my router -lrb- or Comcast -rrb- , not my modem -- a welcome change . it be cheap , it do the job perfectly , and it will save you money whether you buy from Comcast or rent from they . the dual usb\/ethernet output be great , if only situationally useful . +184 CableModem POS 5 Comcast in the San Francisco area be my cable and internet provider . I have rent they modem at $ 3 a month for many year . they do I a favor when it be announce that they would be increase they modem rental to $ 5 a month ! I buy the Linksys cm 100 Cable Modem , make by Cisco , after read a review of how good it work with Comcast , with faster speed than when use the Comcast modem . installation be easy , BUT , remember to unplug you router if you have one , and plug the modem directly into you computer for installation . it would have be nice if the installation direction and cd which come with the modem make that very clear , because , even though I show connectivity , when I call Comcast to give they the MAC number and get my new modem register with they , I could not get a browser to open up . Comcast have always be very helpful if I have ever have a connectivity problem , and that be the first question they ask : do I have a router ? once I disconnect the router and reinstall the modem with the CD , which take 2 minute , Comcast get I online and my browser come up right away , and I reconnect my router with no problem since . in less than a year at $ 5 a month my modem will have pay for itself with the one time cost . I be very happy with it , and thank Comcast for save I money in this regard ! +48 CableModem POS 5 12\/14\/2011 just receive the Motorola SB6121 SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem today . follow the self-install instruction include with the modem , use Comcast internet , and a Medialink Wireless N router , and be up and run in 20 minute . note ; also use a Windows OS laptop for the setup , with internet Explorer . here 's how my setup go . disconnect you old modem . connect the sb6121 modem to you internet coaxle cable . now connect the ethernet cable to both the sb6121 modem and you computer . power up the sb6121 modem and wait for all light to stop flash -lrb- must have solid light -rrb- , then power up you computer . now , open internet Explorer browser and wait for the Xfinity screen to automatically show up on you internet Explorer 's screen . enter you Comcast account number and the phone number associate with you Comcast account on the screen , where ask , and press next . the sb6121 modem will then be automatically identify and recognize . Press next to accept the Motorola sb6121 cable modem , then wait a few minute for the next screen to show up while the information be be process , then press finish . 3 screen total . disconnect the ethernet cable from you computer and connect it to you router . now , power both the sb6121 and you router off and wait 10 seconds . now , power the sb6121 modem on and wait for all the light to show themselves . now , power on you router . you should be able to go online wirelessly . literally that simple . the Comcast Xfinity self-install screen do not ask I for a MAC address or a serial number . total time - about 20 minute to remove the old modem and install the sb6121 . best part , no have to call tech support and no frustration ! I be quite surprised at how easy the sb6121 be to install , as it seem like I be one of those guy who take 2-3 hour to hook anything up . seem like there be always that one thing I do not know , or think , about , and I be usually on the phone with tech support for a while have a lackluster time . I replace a old Comcast RCA modem which I have no problem with , but be tire of rent from Comcast at $ 84 per year . the sb6121 will pay for itself in a year 's time , be a 3 docsis modem versus 2 on my old modem , and work well thus far . +583 CableModem NEG 1 buy this modem because of how well supposedly it work with Comcast and think I could avoid the $ 7.00 rental fee every month . so after follow the ` easy ' instruction , I have no internet access , my network can not be find and there be absolutely no support . Comcast could not & would not help I because it be not there equipment . so basically I have a $ 85 paperweight . oh and it only take 2 hour to restore the network , reset the router at 1am . I work from home after hour so must be connect . +104 CableModem POS 5 so I decide to purchase this cable modem after be tell by Comcast that they charge $ 7 per month for the rental of they cable modem . I believe they rental price be reasonable , but give the cable modem would pay for itself within the year I decide to purchase my own . that be say Comcast 's website be very specific on which type of modem they support and I choose to purchase a DOCSIS 3.0 modem to be certain the modem I purchase would be support for at least the next several year . the Motorola sb 6121 support all my need for upload\/download speed and be easy to setup . I only have 25 mbp download and 4 mbp upload from Comcast but want to make sure my modem could support future speed increase -lrb- plus my wireless router support up to 150 mbp download speed so I figure the modem be able to supply that be a plus -rrb- . overall , the product function exceptionally and I be very satisfied with its performance and the internet speed I be get both wire and wireless throughout my home . as a side note , the sb6121 come with the power adapter , modem , and a ethernet chord but you will need to have a standard tv coaxial cable to connect it to you cable jack . +909 CableModem POS 5 order this from a list that Comcast -lrb- ISP -rrb- provide . buy from Amazon , and arrive as expect . hook it up , call Comcast , and have they provision it . it have be a month , and it work great . no hiccup , no downtime , no fuss . base on the rental that Comcast be charge , payback be less than 1 year . +376 CableModem POS 5 Broadband Cable delivery be change up in delivery speed . for example ; Comcast Xfinity be go up to 15 + mbp . if you be experience a lack of speed , some website take longer to load and movie delivery problem , it may not be enough to `` reset '' you older modem . I be not a `` techy '' so when I experience slowness and could no longer completely watch my instant play movie , I wonder what the problem could be since my broadband have work fine a year ago . we also use wireless networking in we home and there be all kind of complaint , especially from my college student son . I think I must be like many out there ; I do not take the time to read the pamphlet deliver to I when I go online . when I do that , I realize it be the modem speed that be cause most all of my problem . the top-of-the-line recommendation for my service be the Motorola sb6121 3.0 cable modem ; and here at Amazon you can get the non-retail package deliver to you door for about $ 15 less than you can purchase it retail at Walmart . I feel like I just get rid of my 2003 auto for a Lambo . it be a great convenience . +162 CableModem POS 5 this modem have be work properly , no issue so far . my isp be Charter , and this modem be deliver commit Internet speed . +824 CableModem POS 4 not much to say except it perform as it should . I have to call the cable company to get they to recognize it and get it run for I . that take all of 5 minute . +809 CableModem POS 5 the modem be a breeze to set up and have be function without fail ever since . I would recommend this to Comcast cable user . +133 CableModem POS 5 we be located at the end of the cable run and the picture quality have always be poor particularly on the higher channel . a extra tv require that a 3 way splitter be add and the result be a picture that be degrade to unacceptable level . I buy the bda-s4 because the spec be good and also because it be make by Motorola . the amplifier perform beyond my expectation . the picture be clear on all channel include the higher channel which have never come in this good . +618 CableModem POS 4 the box say that this modem be not compatible with Time Warner , but I buy one on a hunch and decide to try it with Time Warner SoCal , and contrary to what the box say , it work -lrb- it be docsis 3.0 , after all -rrb- . it take a lengthy conversation with a -lrb- quite knowledgeable -rrb- level 3 tech to get it work , but it do work . the UpStream\/DownStream light definitely help with the diagnosis . accord to the tech , the modem be not request a IP address from the TimeWarner servers-even though it be synce . I even try manually refresh the IP -lrb- LAN side -rrb- and it would not work . HOWEVER , once I reboot the system on the LAN side , the cable modem then make a request and everything work . strange , because the modem should request a IP regardless if anything be plug into the LAN side . +912 CableModem POS 5 the set-up be easy , a no brainer . I can now surf at faster speed that Comcast have upgrade I to . +923 CableModem POS 5 this cable modem work as expect . of course , it support the datum rate that my service provide which be 30 mbp downlink . +67 CableModem POS 5 I know other have have problem , and base on my research it seem those problem be localized . this modem work great in State College , pa on Comcast . all I have to do be plug it in and make a call to Comcast for provision . a few more minute of configuration in the admin area for some custom thing and it be ready to go . have not have to touch it since . ca not really tell you whether its faster than the rental modem . I just do not use it that hard to notice . +860 CableModem NEG 1 when I install this between my cable box and the cable from the wall , it do nothing to improve the picture , so I try it at the other end of the cable-where it come out of the wall . Got no picture at all that way . so , useless to I . +219 CableModem POS 5 receive the modem , swap out with old one , have new MAC register , and it work great . now I get the full speed up\/down that I have be pay for . +257 CableModem POS 4 the device be easy to unpack and the cox support guy be great . we have it run in about 5 minute . one problem that prevent I from give it 5 star - the print on the box and device for the MAC address be way too small to read . if I would not have have a magnifying glass , the 5 minute install would have take a hour . +885 CableModem POS 4 I buy this modem to replace my cable modem . this modem work great . the installation be very simple and easy . and since then I have have no problem . +87 CableModem POS 4 receive the modem , and be up in run in less then 5-10 minute . use a cm100 from cisco prior to this and due to overheate issue with the cm100 , it die . this unit be run 7 \* c less for operate temperature , which make overheate a non-issue . down\/up speed be improve from the cm100 by 14-16 % -lrb- compute over same 24 hour period -rrb- along with better snr number . downside be limited diagnostic and technical datum feedback from the modem , which should be implement . +916 CableModem POS 5 we own a big house that be now a Bed and Breakfast . there be eight television and a lot of cable go to they ! the long cable to multiple television make for weak signal strength reception . the Motorola Signal Booster be now provide great digital quality to every part of the house ! I be more than please with the booster ! +888 CableModem POS 5 this product take 5 minute to install . I replace my exist splitter and my hd Channel that be come in at 60 % jump to 95 % . I be receive most channel well , but CBS be come and go . now I get CBS and other channel that I do not know even exist . +622 CableModem POS 5 I purchase this item because my Comcast provide SA\/Cisco DPC2100 box be sluggish . http traffic be slow and overall transfer traffic use to peak at 24mbit for 30 seconds before drop by 25 % to 18mbit . we have a Comcast Teleworker connection here which be suppose to deliver 25mbit downstream . additionally , I use to have a 24mbit connection via cable -lrb- different isp , different modem etc -rrb- before and it never use to happen . I go through the basic troubleshooting process - change cable , change setup , bench the dn , test different router etc. . in the end , it look like the modem . a bit digging online confirm that . my intention be to purchase a device where I do not have to restart the modem everyday or have constant time-out . the sb6120 be apparently the device of choice . Though because the 6121 be on offer for just $ 3 more , I choose it over the 6120 . I can not make a comparison between the two . however , the dpc2100 to the sb6121 be like day and night . my connection be , 2 day later , extremely stable . additionally , my ping rate decrease from 19m to 13m . the datum throughput increase from 24 to 27mbit - and it stay there ! all in all , a pretty good device . +944 CableModem POS 5 I have a speed problem with the isp and I could fix with this new Motorola sb6121 surfboard unit DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem , I recommend it 100 % , I be very satisfied with the product - : -rrb- +956 CableModem POS 4 this cable modem may not be the fastest available but in the short tome I have be use it , it have be totally dependable for my high speed internet . that be the reason why I switch from dsl to cable . my Qwest dsl be never dependable . +270 CableModem POS 5 I do not know about Comcast , but this modem work well with Charter . I check Charter 's instruction for install a new modem and they basically say the opposite of what happen -lrb- need to update they site -rrb- , but I hook it up and all I have to do be follow the screen prompt . just one little problem that be resolve by call Charter : if there be a router install , do this and avoid the call : shut down computer , router , old modem . install new modem and start up everything in the order of new modem , router , computer . follow the screen prompt . now what happen be , it do not seem to finish the connection , so do this : shut down computer and router . -lrb- do not shut down the new modem -rrb- Start router , then computer , and it will complete the install . I have have no problem with this modem and can easily stream to the tv through it and the older Cisco wireless router install . +838 CableModem POS 5 the cable modem be extremely easy to set up . have the thing ready to go in 1\/2 hr . that include the call to comcast to register the product . very happy with the purchase . +126 CableModem POS 5 the new Motorola 3.0 Cable Modem be a great deal ! the price be right for this modem . it be 3.0 speed and environmentally safe box make it a hit . +514 CableModem POS 5 Works like it be suppose to . I like the design compare to the older model . Speedtest be show the corresponding result to what I be sign up for with Comcast . there be a review here that state you need to give you customer id print on the box label instead of the MAC address to Comcast in order to get this add and work . I be not sure how accurate that be . I have a issue get the modem online in my new apartment but that be because of a cable wiring issue , not because MAC Address\/Customer ID number . I have mention this to two different Comcast tech and both tell I that the customer id have nothing to do with it -lrb- before get a tech out to my home and confirm it be a wiring issue -rrb- . I be up and run now and it be be run great . I buy this because I hate give more money away to Comcast or any provider for that matter . Leasing fee on equipment for both internet provider or digital tv be ridiculous when they be already make money off you service . +560 CableModem NEU 3 just get the sb6021 today and spend a half hour with comcast try to get it to work properly . it keep drop the signal . Comcast tech seem quite knowledgable and say she work with this model `` all the time . '' she sound sincere . my older sb6020 lose the blue linked light and be very slow at time ... still work but erratic speed . so far , this one be very fast at time , and again , kind of diddly like old dial-up day at time . -lrb- Comcast or the bandwidth in general may have some part in this -rrb- . at least all the light be on . I have Comcast blast , the best I can get here . the download be in the 25-30 range as expect , but the upload be 7-8 , supposedly in the 80 % high range . the Receive be `` bond . '' the send be not . apparently bond be fast ... so I ask how to get send bond too , but do not get a answer I could understand . be it my comp 's fault ... with its 8 gig RAM and AMD Quadcore ? Dunno ! no virus ; not fragmented . that upload be a royal pain ... too slow . if anybody here have any suggestion or explanation -lrb- in plain English -rrb- , please let I know . : -rrb- and why be this model almost $ 40 cheaper than the older sb6020 ? probably because this have only a one year warrantee , while the older sb6020 have 2 yr . the old one drop the link light just 3 mo . after the warrantee expire . it be still work , but erratic on speed . the paper insert with this model mention the warrantee , but I have to talk to a Motorola rep to find out that the length be only one year on this model . `` why , '' I ask . because that be `` industry standard . '' hah ! `` do not you want buyer to think that you product be better ... that you have ` faith ' in it with a 2 yr warrantee ? '' I ask . ca not quote the gobble-de-gook I get back . LOL as far as the heat other have mention . Yeh . it be hot at the top ... will not burn you , but it be definitely hot . there seem to be good ventilation -lrb- lot of hole all over -rrb- , so maybe the one year warrantee be reflective of the possible earlier demise of this newer `` faster '' version . Hope not . my first surfboard I have from Motorola , be still work after 5 year ! I only replace it to get the faster doc-si 3 for the speed . oh well , Motorola Motorola ... what be happen to you ? be the technology run too fast for you ? be the bandwidth get overload ? I do not know the answer , but do know that the name Motorola be not what it use to be . +340 CableModem NEG 1 buy it half a month ago because of its tempting low price -lrb- around $ 20 -rrb- to replace the rental modem from Comcast . sadly however I try it do not work at all . finally I get a Comcast technician who confirm it be not my problem but this gadget 's . also , the power cable with it be not original and do not match up -lrb- 0.8 a require vs 1a by the cable -rrb- . +206 CableModem NEU 3 I have Comcast and that be a problem for a few people . I go ahead and buy the item . I have to call Comcast several time before get the item to work . it be a lot more headache than anticipate . I be somewhat computer savy and I have wire home and car . this be not rocket science . I have do it many , many time . so take it for what it be worth . the item work perfectly now . I think Comcast get 70 % of the blame . I 'll rate it 4 out of 5 . +437 CableModem NEG 1 two in a row come dead on arrival . both would turn on and begin a power cycling loop , turn themselves off every minute or so . I would do quite a lot of research before pick this modem , quietly hope that the known power cycling issue would not affect this batch , but it be not the case . Amazon handle the shipment and return promptly , but it simply be not to be . after two return and hour waste on the phone with Comcast support , I give up and buy a different model . even a trivial amount of quality assurance should have catch this issue so I be far less than impressed with Motorola 's effort on this model . +303 CableModem NEG 2 I have be through 3 Motorola Surfboard sb6121 modem within the past 2 day . purchase product at local retailer . before I upgrade to the Docsis 3.0 modem and package , I be use the Motorola Docsis 2.0 12 mbp down\/2 mbp up package with Comcast . with the Powerboost feature the device average 19-20 mbp down\/4 mbp up . after the upgrade to the Docsis 3.0 and 20 mbp down\/4 mbp up package , the new modem average speed of 30-31 mbp down\/1 -2.5 mbp up . there be time the device would peak at 3 mbp up , but that be a best case scenario . as you can see , this be very frustrating know that you upload speed be not at least on par with you old device and performance package . several folk from Comcast state that the signal strength and ping to the Docsis 3.0 be good . however , one tech do a line test and the result come back that a tech need to be send to the residence . the tech come out and find nothing wrong with the line . the Docsis 3.0 continue to give a dismal performance while the tech be present . he test a Arris Docsis 3.0 modem he have in the truck and it perform flawlessly ; 31 mbp down\/4 mbp up . the device he have perform as it should . BTW , from what I can tell `` yes '' the tech on the phone and at the residence provision the device correctly . I take back the modem I have to the store and pick up another one . the second modem could not be see on Comcast 's network so I hurry back to the store before it close and pick up another one from another location just in case I be pick up modem from a bad batch . needless to say , the third modem perform the same and I now have the old Docsis 2.0 back on the network . I be back to get my great speed . BTW , I also test to see if there be any difference in speed between the 2.0 and 3.0 with the Playstation 3 . the 2.0 still outperform the 3.0 . I just do not know what it be with the 3.0 . it be as if this device will work flawlessly for most people who may or may not be aware of they speed before upgrade . however , I be not impressed enough to keep the Docsis 3.0 . +369 CableModem POS 5 very easy to install . i run 3 tv on it and it improve picture by 33 % . i have cable at my camper and get 80 channel analog . this help alot . thank you motorolum . +636 CableModem POS 5 definitely make a difference . I use it with a inside antena and the quality become undistinguishable -lrb- or better -rrb- from a channel tv . definitely worth the money . +651 CableModem NEU 3 Ive read through the good and bad review . be a it manager I start to do my home work . try the Motorolla sb6121 first , 2 issue I have with it , one ; it run hott , two ; be 4 channel downstream instead of 8 like the Cisco . the low down , Cisco release a firmware upgrade , which ISP provider begin to pump out , which kick of a slew of random disconnection and reset for many however ; Cisco release a fix -lrb- in early July -rrb- to the isp and they have fix this by push this out . so I decide to give it a shot . with that be say , I get 5-7mb faster on my cisco than I do the motorolum . my pick be the Cisco dpc3008 +411 CableModem POS 5 plug and play , no problem install and have work great for over a month now . will need to call you isp to get it connect to internet , take about 10 minute . +745 CableModem NEG 1 I have be use a Motorola sb5120 -lrb- mostly happily -rrb- for a couple of year and plan on upgrade we network start with a new DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem , the Motorola sb6121 . today I just try install my second modem from Amazon after the first give I the cycle-on , cycle-off problem some of the reviewer have mention . sadly the second one be the same , at least for I . I have to conclude either there be 1 -rrb- a batch of defective modem out there , or 2 -rrb- it really be not compatible with Comcast cable in Portland , or . there be no point in order a 3rd . Comcast do not give I any assistance - as per usual , they first suggestion be I buy the ` wrong ' modem -lrb- tho they do not exactly say that , and the website give it all high mark -rrb- , and they attitude be one where I imagine the service tech greet I with `` hello , this be Comcast , how can I help you ? let see we record indicate that you first name be `` Moron '' correct ? yes , I think so ... '' -rrb- -lrb- to be fair , he really do not say that and be rather quite pleasant , he just could not offer any meaningful help . he do even call back to check if I work out my problem -rrb- so apart from my Comcast minus rant , at this point there be no way I can do better than 1 star for the sb6121 though I wish I could . on the flip side , `` thank you Amazon '' for you awesome return policy . this one will be back home with you in a few day . +966 CableModem POS 4 out of nowhere , I be have excruciatingly slow internet speed on Comcast . the Comcast tech advise that my Motorola sb 4100 be at the `` end of life '' and that I should upgrade . skeptical , I purchase this modem which be a DOCSIS 3.0 -lrb- and backwards compatible -rrb- modem . it work . I go from a 2mbp download speed to over 17mbp . what a difference . there be one installation glitch that you need to be aware of . when you hook up the modem -lrb- connect the coax cable , connect the ethernet cable , and plug it in , that be it -rrb- , and then try to get online , it will direct you to a Comcast self-activation screen -lrb- no other site be available -rrb- . after enter my account number and phone number and hit the `` next '' button , I get a blank screen , and nothing happen . so I call Comcast and they say that usually happen if you be do a upgrade ; it mostly work only for a new service connection . however , it be a simple matter to give the tech you MAC address and the serial number . after about 5 minute , while he stay on the line , it come alive , no problem . BUT , here be the thing : the serial number they need be the customer serial number . this be only find on the bottom of the Motorola box the modem come in . this be different from the `` s\/n '' serial number that be on the label that be on the instruction sheet and on the bottom of the modem itself . the customer s\/n have letter in it ; the regular S\/N have only number in it and be too long . my first Comcast tech do not know that and it take a day to sort it out . other than that , it work well with my iMac and Apple Airport Extreme Base wireless router . enjoy +index Domain Label Rating Review +68 CableModem POS 4 this be a great little modem , no problem with it at all , and I have have it for about a year and a half now . +541 CableModem POS 5 i buy this item i get tire of pay my cable provider for the basic modem they provide you . . so i decide it to try the motorolum sb6121 and when i get it install it actually increase my internet speed be really stable it do what it be mean for . . i highly recommend it ... +182 CableModem POS 5 the sb6121 be a great update to the Surfboard sb4200 that I use previously especially since my cable provider warn I that I be about to lose my service due to obsolescence . the sb6121 be smaller much better ventilate and look better in the black case . the price be good and the sb6121 be east to install . unfortunately the unit have a external transformer that add one more to the mass of transformer power my other component . the indicator light be on all the time green and blue . the flash orange connection indicator light be a little strange but I have get accustomed to it . I would recommend this cable modem to someone . +936 CableModem POS 5 I receive it , plug it in and connect the cable . next I take my rental modem back to the cable company , give they the Mac address from the new modem and I be up and run . the modem I have through the cable company -lrb- Charter -rrb- be a DOCSIS 1.1 Motorola . I be far from reach the speed I be pay for with the they modem . this cm100 modem make a definite speed improvement over the Moto modem I be rent and I do not have to pay the monthly rental fee . over all it do what it be suppose to . the led for the display be not overly bright and annoying like the Motorola modem display . it can be wall mount . it look nicer in person than it do in the photo . it can be hook up with a ethernet cable or usb . I be kind of leary about buy it because of the problem I have have with multiple linksy router . there be only so many time a person can reset a device before they want to throw it across the room . I go to a trendnet wireless n router a couple of year ago and I have not have to reset it once . but anyways , ... back to the modem ! I have not have any problem with the modem at all or lose connection require reset . this modem be a DOCSIS 2.0 which should work fine for internet speed up to the lower 40 's . if you have faster service than that I would look for a DOCSIS 3.0 . +960 CableModem POS 5 solid cable modem . now , i do not have to reset my modem every 4hr like my old motorolum . +150 CableModem POS 4 this router have a lot of capability and install easily , either manually or by WPS . I have no issue with it in my mother 's apartment , a simple configuration with a pc , router and printer . the router be feed by Comcast . later , it become apparent that the throughput on wireless be somewhere between sluggish and abysmal . at first I think it be Comcast , then the pc . after try out multiple change include the computer , I be able to inch the speed up to nearly a usable level - - still pretty sad , maybe 1-2 megabyte per minute . just as a matter of thoroughness , I change the printer from wireless to usb . WOW ! what a difference . Wireless speed pick up by at least a factor of 10 . megabyte in seconds not minute . as of right now , I do not know if this be a router , configuration , or printer issue . it be not important to have the printer on wireless , so this riddle be go to remain unanswered for a while . I 'll leave the rating at 4 star instead of 5 because of the router `` IP Flooding '' set be one of the issue . this setting default to yes , and if set to no , the speed pick up significantly , perhaps 2:1 or more . this setting be access under the Firewall tab in the management page . +693 CableModem POS 5 be sick of pay $ 10 + a month to lease this modem from the cable company , have it for 3 year could have save a bundle have I just purchase this one id advance . +22 CableModem POS 5 this modem will work on Charter Internet . I buy this product to replace my old Linksys befcmu10 v2 modem since that thing be still run on DOCSIS 1.0 . I just want to make sure that it be not the DOCSIS that be cause the modem to crap out once in the a while . the modem would keep restart after the isp do a firmware update . just a note this do not mean it will import the transfer rate also I be not use Gigabit feature from the wan connection . +116 CableModem POS 5 I order this product to replace the rent Comcast modem and it work perfectly . it be necessary to call Comcast and have they recognize the new equipment . no moremonthly rental fee . +704 CableModem POS 5 work seamlessly XD Beautiful and fast product , i be really happy with my purchase . I do not know why other buyer comment that it be not work with they cable provider -lrb- comcast -rrb- . the whole process toke only 10min max . I do not even have to call comcast customer service because everything be automate on my computer setup , all i do be put in my comcast account and telephone number and the rest be click click and wait for activation . everything update and upgrade automatically . also ipv6 compatible which be latest update from comcast . do not know what the problem be out there with other people not be able to make it work . anyway , i just think i should share my experience with everyone out there because i also read the comment before purchase . and my major reason for purchase a new modem be because i finally come to my right sens after i realize the comcast have be charge I $ 7 for 6 year for lease a old crapping modem . with my calculation comcast make $ 506 for lease out internet cable modem from I , Ouch !! . +915 CableModem POS 5 I have some choice in select a cable modem . I choose the zoom 5341j for its combination of size -lrb- small -rrb- and price . not only be the price great , the shipping be fast as well . the product arrive safely , just as advertise . I would do this again . +700 CableModem NEG 1 I purchase two of these item about a year ago . they work great !!! Unfortunatelly , they both fail after be in service for about a year . I have since then switch to viewsonics signal booster , which have be in service for about six month . I feel that viwsonic be a better product , and it be also less expensive . +934 CableModem POS 4 Compact , small , lightweight , this modem function well . setup be easy -lrb- I do have to contact my internet provider -rrb- . my only quibble be that it lack a power shutoff button , so I leave it on all the time -lrb- be I to be go a extended time period , I would disconnect power -rrb- . +388 CableModem POS 5 ok . hopefully , some of you out there in North Carolina face with pay $ 3.95 a month rental on a modem twc once provide free of charge will find this helpful . I purchase a ubee ddm3513 to replace the Ubee ddm3611 supply I by twc . as for the TWC modem , I have it set up in bridge mode to bypass the wireless network service since I already have a wireless network with a LinkSys router . when I receive the notice from TWC that effective immediately they be charge for the supply modem , I opt to buy my own and avoid the lease fee . the list of support modem provide on TWC 's website do not include the modem they supply I , so I figure the list be not complete . I decide to purchase a Ubee modem -lrb- the 3513 -rrb- since it have the same spec as the 3611 TWC supply , the only difference be that the 3513 do not include wireless capability , which I be not use anyway . long story short , after wait for more than 30 minute in a queue , I be lucky to get a very knowledgeable tech who ask I the one simple question : what be the MAC address for the new modem -lrb- which appear on a white sticker on the bottom of the modem , for those of you not familiar -rrb- . he do not ask what brand or give I the third degree about it be on the list of approve list . he provision it , it work , end of story . so yes , if you be a twc customer in North Carolina and want to replace you twc-supplied modem with one that work and that you own , this modem will do the job . +589 CableModem POS 5 the modem work great . vendor be quick to ship and I receive it on time , in great shape and ready to go . +397 CableModem POS 5 I buy this before Comcast install my new service , but I could not get it to work at the time of my self-activation . I put it aside for a few week and come back to it . after have Comcast 's " Ubee " brand for a few week , which cap at 44mbp -lrb- we be suppose to have a 50mb line -rrb- , I decide to try one night to just plug in the Motorola to see what would happen . it take a while , maybe 20 minute and 5 reset , before the modem finally download the firmware it be suppose to which allow the Comcast " self-activation " screen to appear . after this point it be smooth sailing , though it take 30 more minute for the Comcast activation to work . the best part ? Speedtest now run at a solid 54.78 mbp ! I have run speedtest probably 20 time over the last week and it have never move off that number . that be get my money 's worth and also not pay Comcast for a slower modem . +543 CableModem NEG 1 this amp do not work with the latest cable modem such as Motorola sb 6120 . the amplifier definitely boost the tv signal as I can verify that signal-to-noise ratio increase from around 32 db to 40 db . however , the amp seem to either block full bi-directional communication or filter out require frequency for the cable modem to make online connection to isp -lrb- in my case Comcast -rrb- . furthermore , the vendor 's -lrb- cabletvamps.com -rrb- 's support be a joke . when I ask why it be not work with my cable modem , the reply be a copy\/paste of some unrelated topic about the amp not support satellite tv and I should return the product . Main reason I purchase the booster be to split to both cable modem and tv without drop signal strength to the cable modem , but that be not possible with this junk . I be back to use a simple -3.5 db splitter that support upto 1,000 MHz Update ! - the CableTVAmps support finally reply : quote : `` the Motorola s2 be a passive return unit - these be not design to be use with Cable Modems as they will not support the signal . you will need a active return amplifier -lrb- the Motorola k4 be a 4-port unit -rrb- which will support a Cable Modem and any interactive service -lrb- OnDemand , etc. -rrb- that the Cable Company offer '' +779 CableModem POS 5 I can not tell you how many time I call my local cable tv provider -lrb- Comcast -rrb- to complain about the poor picture quality on my tv . I be unable to watch my brand new Sony flat screen hd tv due to pixelization and completely blank channel . it be happen every day . all Comcast would do be send a signal to the digital box to try to correct it . they even send a service man out to look at it . he check all the connection inside and out and tell I if the problem continue , to call . they be totally worthless . I be ready to cancel my cable tv subscription , when someone at work suggest a signal booster . so , I sign onto my favorite website in the world ! ... Amazon.com ... and find this wonderful little thing ! very simple to hook up outside where the cable wire feed into the house . it be like flip a switch . no more pixel across my screen and I be also able to pick up channel I do not have before ! it really do work . I have have it now for 2 week and have not have one problem with my tv . well worth the $ 52 I pay for it ! Motorola Signal Booster 4-port bda-s4 Cable Modem tv hdtv amplifier +241 CableModem POS 5 Have have the same modem for about 10 year and it finally start give I problem . talk to comcast and they say I should change it out and the loss connectivity issue would go away . as well as I get all the speed I be pay for on the internet . for once they where right . connection be simple and no issue along with my dowload speed doubling . my netflix stream alot better on my tv and with the 3 laptop go at the same time everything be run smoothly . I be be cheap not want to upgrade but it be well worth it . the fam be verry happy I break down and do it . Hope this help anyone out there think about the upgrade . +566 CableModem POS 5 the earlier review be right about this device . once properly set up , it run without a hitch , and we internet connection seem to be a bit faster than with the older modem it replace , which we have foolishly rent from Comcast for year . I do , however , have some trouble get it register with Comcast . I have read the review say that you just plug it in and fire up you browser to get the online Comcast registration screen , but that do not work for we -lrb- we never see that screen -rrb- . it take a couple of call to Comcast -- the first one to someone who have not a clue , and the second one to someone much more knowledgeable -- to get it register . once that be do , it have work without a hitch for about a week . +784 CableModem POS 5 this modem be easy to install. , at first I could not get it to hook up to the internet. , but with a little tweeking , -lrb- unpluging power cord -rrb- I get it to work . you must call you internet service to register it . work just fine . +279 CableModem POS 5 Got this for my Comcast service & it work great ! no problem with it at all and work great with the Belkin router that I buy too ! +278 CableModem POS 5 I have have this modem for about a month now . it work flawlessly . in fact it increase my speed from roughly 20mb\/s to 40mb\/s over cox . its a nice compact unit , and have a couple keyhole for wall\/shelf mount . +180 CableModem POS 5 it arrive shortly after order . the prong on the plug be a little bent , but I just get out the pliers and fix it . just plug everything in how comcast , or whoever , have theirs set up and you be almost there . the next time you try to log on to the internet , it will walk you through how to register it and then internet will be yours and you will no longer have to pay comcast they 7 dollar every month for a little box that you can install all by yourself . +349 CableModem POS 4 I purchase the modem think that the docsis 3.0 would help increase my speed ... it do not . other than that , the model work well . +586 CableModem NEU 3 I buy this because I be move to Comcast Internet , and I want a fast modem that would not give I any trouble . unfortunately , the first one keep power cycling when I get it hook up . I call Motorola tech support , who tell I that a low sigal to noise ratio be cause the power cycle . I call Comcast , and they tech come out and fix the low snr problem , but the modem keep power cylcing . he replace it with a Comcast modem , which work just fine . the replacement modem that I get work fine , but I be only rating this 3 star because of the hassle I have to go through get it to work . +294 CableModem POS 4 this modem work , mostly . it do not seem significantly faster than the old Motorola , though I be guess it would test faster . there be a diminish return for simple web surfing when the older generation of modem be already capable of load a page in few tenth of a second . download be probably faster , but I rarely pay attention to that anyway , since I have train myself to immediately switch to another task whenever I click on a download button . I be still get request from Windows 7 to connect to broadband via dial-up , so either I trigger something in win7 during the installation process , or it periodically think there be no cable modem . I just have to click the cancellation button a few time , which be annoying , but not a big deal . I have no major issue set up the modem with Comcast in Maryland , though it do take they a few try to get everything talk to everything else . the total time might have be 10-15 minute , vs. the 5 I have be hope for , so also no big deal . +985 CableModem POS 5 before I purchase this modem , I do some research . I be not techy and be worry about buy something I could not use with Comcast , my internet provider . I call Comcast and they tell I this particular Motorola model -lrb- any model over `` 5000 '' -- related , apparently , to model number -rrb- would work . I look at post on techy site . some user have report trouble with activate they modem with Comcast . I , fortunately , do not run into trouble . I connect the modem -lrb- it be very easy -rrb- . I call Comcast . I provide they with the serial number -- and the `` hfc MAC ID '' number . both of which be located on the box the MODEM come in . I be tell the `` MAC ID '' number be what Comcast principally use to activate the modem through they system . so far , so good . it be easy to set up and be work as expect . and I love not give extra money to Comcast because I no longer rent they modem and router . +290 CableModem POS 5 this be a great modem . nothing to do but hook it up , call you cable company to give they the hardware address and wait for they to imput the info . it connect in less than 5 minute . +253 CableModem POS 5 Easy to install and work great . ca not believe the improvement in the cable tv signal quality . +292 CableModem POS 5 I have have this modem for month now , and it have be great , no hiccup or anything , cant go wrong with this purchase . I see some folk that be say that it get extrememly hot , mine have be fine , obviously it need to breathe just like most electronics . +703 CableModem NEG 1 listen to the other one star review ! I think , `` sure , a few people get a bad unit that continually reset itself , but surely , Motorola have fix the issue by now . there be so many good review , I 'll buy it ! '' wrong ! heap of junk continually reset . my cable installation be brand new , include the main box in the back yard . Moto be worthless . +54 CableModem POS 5 I replace the rent Cisco dpc3010 with this model . I get the same download -lrb- 40 + mbp -rrb- and upload -lrb- 4 + mbp -rrb- speed as before . the MAC address change be simple , Charter Communications be able to facilitate it in a few minute while I be on the phone with they . the box say `` Comcast certify only '' , but I can attest that it work with Charter in San Luis Obispo County California . +237 CableModem POS 5 get a use Motorola dsl modem sb5100 but do not come with the power supply . get this replacement and it work perfectly , no problem what so ever , and it come with a unbitable that price . +175 CableModem POS 5 setup be hassle free with this cable modem . Modem have plenty of capacity to maximize my current speed from my cable provider with lot of room to grow when the cable provider upgrade they infrastructure in the near future . Easy interface with my wireless router . +928 CableModem POS 5 setup seem easy enough . call Comcast and feed they the mac address . the light go into action and I be up and run in no time . look like we enjoy higher internet speed with comcast -lrb- although they customer service be terrible -rrb- . glad to have this modem which support gigabit speed . +351 CableModem POS 5 this product be exactly as describe , it work perfectly with my Motorola Surfboard sb5101 . actually it be much more space-saving than the previous power supply I have for my modem . +743 CableModem POS 4 use this modem with Comcast . I do not even have to call they to activate it . I just use the self-activation website and be up and run in less than 5 minute . I get this to replace a sb6121 because I want 8 downstream channel , plus the sb6121 run too hot and I have to have a fan blow on it . I be on the blast 25\/4 tier and with the sb6121 I be get 36.5 mbp down and 6.5 mbp up with Power Boost . with the dpc3008 I be get 36.1 down and 5.6 up with Power Boost . Kind of disappointing . like with the dpc3000 and dpc3010 , the dpc3008 's diagnostic screen be gimp to only show you the signal level . no channel frequency , no uptime , and no log . if Motorola can show all this information in a read-only format , why can not cisco ? another disappointment . as long as the modem work it be not that big of a deal , but detailed diagnostic information can be very helpful if you really need it . temperature wise the dpc3008 run cooler than the sb6121 and do not need a fan blow on it , so I 'll stick with it for now . +526 CableModem POS 5 this work great . basically plug n play . Super fast ship and look good too . no complaint so far and I have be use it for about a month now . would not hesitate to buy from this merchant again . +901 CableModem NEG 1 I would not buy Zoom again ! we purchase this unit - start out ok , then six\/seven month later zoom push out a update through we internet provider , put the unit into vapor lock ! they customer service be really bad here - take 24 to 48 hour -lrb- m-f only -rrb- to get they to send you the e-form to fill out in order to get a rma # -lrb- so I can pay to ship it back to repair they screw up -rrb- , 2-4 day shipping , 5-10 day for repair , 2-4 day shipping -lrb- if they decide I do not do something to the unit -rrb- so three week later I can get internet back !! +157 CableModem POS 5 I absolutely love this modem . the lead 's be super cool and the design be awesome for how compact it be . I have mine in open air not surround by anything and this modem never heat up it and have stay at the same temp as it first start . speed be amazing also , this modem keep I either at my advertised rate without drop in speed or it even increase it to almost 2x as fast as what I pay for . so far I get this to work with charter high speed call they to activate it and once activate there have be no problem at all . overall for a great Modem to replace you old beat up docsis 2.0 modem and take advantage of the new speed I would highly recommend this modem for a great internet experience . \*\*\* Update 6\/15\/12 \*\*\* : it time for out with the old and in with the new ! Docsis 2.0 modem now will be speed cap since cable network be upgrade to docsis 3.0 . that be why you need this guy ! . not only have it give I up to double my speed but it also give I a constant internet speed . I still highly recommend it ! +862 CableModem POS 5 great unit . try several Motorola modem before and they never work properly . the zoom work immediately with Comcast , easy set-up and no problem . +625 CableModem POS 4 I pick this up from another retailer when the Motorola sb6121 give I problem the thing keep reset . a real pain when play on line game this one be fast and reliable . no problem whatsoever . a small footprint on my desk since I do not need a separate router as well . only hiccup be a standard setting that block against flood of datum attack with the high speed Comcast I get 30m download so it think someone be flood my computer with datum . a email to zoom and they give I the quick answer on what security set to uncheck +851 CableModem POS 5 this router\/modem work great . it be really easy to set up . the instruction say that I might have to call my internet provider -lrb- for I that be Comcast -rrb- , but the setup do everything automatically . it be ship very quickly , and be very well package . +20 CableModem POS 5 do this modem also a router for wi-fus ? , would appreciate some feedback , thinking of buy this item if it would do what I expect . +223 CableModem POS 5 require a call to comcast customer service for a serial number input . after that , it worked\/works extremely well ! ca not recommend this enough . +565 CableModem POS 4 Works well , box have wrong mac id so setup be delay . great modem tho . no complaint so far even tho refurbish +420 CableModem POS 5 while look for way to cut down my cable bill , I search around and find this modem . check the approve modem list , this be on there , order it up , few day later it be in my hot little hand . after a quick call to the cable provider -lrb- who need the MAC address -rrb- , it be up and online . I be use this with a Netgear WNR2000 that be flash with dd-wrt , rock solid with no issue so far . definitely one of the easier computer-related project I have do around the house this year : d +800 CableModem POS 5 I have Comcast -lrb- nee Adelphia -rrb- cable modem service . bought my own modem back in 2005 I believe , and have be use it since then . finally decide it be time for a upgrade , so purchase the sb6121 after a bit of research . no problem connect it . need to call Comcast support to get it activate : it take longer to find they number and navigate through the automate phone support than it do once the tech be on the line . once I be actually talk to someone , it be a 3 minute process : read she the MAC address , she put it in and reset the signal , and I be up and run . notice a definite jump in my download speed compare to the old modem . only con I would say be the fact that the status light on the front of this modem be not actually label ; they just show various symbol which you need to figure out . they be not that obscure , I would just prefer label . other than that , the modem be great . +523 CableModem POS 5 be run the sb6121 for a few week with a old e1000 router . I feel a little warm spot on top of the case , the rest of the box be cool , a little chunkier than the sb5100 , and full of perforation . have to call Comcast before the new modem start work : -lrb- Occupy Comcast after repower the sb6121 , it take longer to reconnect than the 5100 , then it work fine . the modem 's web-interface show that instead of one download frequency , now I have four , thanks to the Docsis 3 , although my download speed have not increase . url for the web interface be slightly different than the sb5100 , but if you start at the traditional 192.168.100.1 , you 'll get in . the web-interface webpage be very similar to the 5100 . slightly different light on the front panel . one day , I 'll look they up and see what they mean . -lrb- Update -- on my modem , the downstream light be blue , which mean the connection be use multiple downstream channel bond together , else the light would be green to indicate use a single downstream channel . the upstream light be green since my connection use only one upstream channel , but it would turn blue if the upstream bond multiple channel . whether you connection use single channel or multiple channel be determine automatically when the modem connect to the cable system . -rrb- I replace my 5100 because it be start to have trouble communicate ; long wait to connect , have to use process of elimination to determine the problem be the 5100 . my connection be stable again , but it be the same speed as before . take the router out of the system -- go straight from the sb6121 to a computer , I see a powerboost of 30 mbits\/sec for the first 15 seconds of download , and then 13 mbits\/sec for the duration . I think that be about what I get on the old modem , too . -lrb- with the e1000 router in line , the download speed be only 12 mbits\/sec and there be not any boost -- bottleneck be the router . -rrb- +832 CableModem POS 4 my prior modem be a DOCSIS 1.1 model from linksy which have a web base user interface point out in the ship installation Guide . I would have give this Motorola modem a perfect rating if the ship box also include info on how to access the modem 's user interface via a web browser . fortunately , on the motorola.com site I find a detailed pdf installation Guide with the web interface IP address that make up for the miss info . the web address be -lrb- ... -rrb- some people complain about the heat discharge by the modem but I do not think it be hot enough to cause any problem as long as the modem be keep in a well ventilate space . +905 CableModem POS 5 this cable modem work great with my Comcast internet . Comcast service technician complete the setup so I can not vouch for ease of setup , but unit have work flawlessy for several month . I have not need to reset the modem even once . +546 CableModem NEG 2 I could not get this modem to work . Comcast technician could not figure out what be wrong with it . I do not think this modem work for everyone . +322 CableModem POS 5 omg ! I love this modem . I be get faster connection then before . I have this connect to my wireless router and it rock ! I wish I have buy this sooner ! +99 CableModem NEU 3 I give all 5 star for this item attribute , but only 3 star in general rating and here be the reason why . I have 4 FIOS Cable box in my house and they be , of course , in different room and I be use a regular splitter for this . you can imagine how many cable I have and how far they be go . so hd picture be degrade on two of my tv - there be pixelation and sound be be lose . I go look for a good signal booster and find this one . I get it , install it and it be perfect - no more signal loss and picture and sound be like it be a direct cable connection . BUT , to my big disappointment on the two cable box that be connect to this booster I be no longer get the connection to my dvr , connection to all the Verizon FIOS service from the box get lose and I could not get any channel lineup . so I do further research and stumble upon this review : amazon.com\/review\/rk8zfk6zyl6jy\/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#rk8zfk6zyl6jy apparently for the Cable tv service to work you need a booster with `` active return Cable Modem boost '' , which be this one : Motorola Signal Booster 4-Port Cable Modem TV HDTV amplifier with active return Cable Modem boost but the bda-k4 \/ ra model sell for the exact same price as the bda-s4 , so I be return this one and get the one with active return Model Boost . I will try to review it after I get it and test it . +164 CableModem POS 5 this cable modem be exactly what I need . it support the fastest residential speed offer by Comcast -lrb- DOCSIS 3.0 -rrb- , and I have not have a single problem with it since I start use it . it be only about 30 dollar more than the cheapest cable modem I could find . I would definitely recommend this cable modem , and I would purchase again . +483 CableModem POS 5 this modem work right away on Comcast 's network . just have to go through the provision process and register over the phone . +866 CableModem POS 5 plug and play . speed improve compare to my old docsis 2 cable modem . no complaint at all so far . I recommend this product . +208 CableModem POS 5 I purchase this to take the place of a sb6120 that my grandson decide need to be hit against a wall . oh well . anyway , it appear to function the same as the 6120 . I do notice that on a few speed test I do go over 62mb . I never get over 59mb on the 6120 . now do that mean it be faster or better ? who know ! I know I do not know ! I have notice a uptick in the wireless network . I be run the modem through my latest generation Apple Wireless with my iMac hard wire via ethernet . I also use a extreme to extend the network as the speed drop on my wireless network in the front of the house . so the modem work well , do not seem to heat up , keep the signal , look nice , have pretty button , ok I be ramble ... ... ... ... look it work . if and when it act up I will update my review to indicate problem . +837 CableModem NEG 1 set up a new Comcast account , I have go through two attempt with Motorola modem . the first be the sb6020 , which be DOA -- would not even power up . send it back and decide to try the sb6121 , to see if they newer model perhaps have better quality control . I think I be go to have success -- the light come on -- but no luck . the first strike against this modem come when I call Comcast to try to do a `` self-install '' to save the service charge of the technician come out . in we new place , I know the previous tenant have use Comcast , so I be sure the house be already wire correctly . Comcast be unable to do a self-install over the phone for this modem , so a technician be send out . the Comcast technician , a nine-year veteran installer , spend over a hour fight with the sb6121 , try to get it to initialize . we wire it in directly , remove all splitter , etc. . . and it still refuse to recognize . keep cycling and drop service . I spend another hour on the phone with Motorola tech support , who be unable to help . finally , as a last resort , the Comcast technican plug in a similar Docsis 3.0 modem from he truck . the connection be up and work in seconds , with a stable signal and no drop service . of course , I be now fight with Comcast over the $ 99 service charge for the technician . all tell , this modem have cost I 3-4 hour of my life and $ 99 already ... and this be my second return of a Motorola modem to Amazon in less than 10 day . and I still need a modem . with the dubious quality of the current generation of Motorola modem , they have lose I as a customer for the forseeable future . if the next model be better , I 'll revisit the issue but for now , the aggravation and expense just be not worth it . +854 CableModem POS 5 the modem arrive quickly and be just as advertise , with the exception of a miss coax cable . it take quite a while for the Comcast system to establish a connection with the modem -lrb- the installer say this be typical of this modem -rrb- , but it be be work perfectly ever since connection be finally establish . +677 CableModem POS 5 product come in the original packaging and work like a charm out of the box . no issue at all to date -lrb- only be about a month -rrb- . I no longer have to pay the ridiculous Comcast fee and have better performance to boot . very satisfied . +806 CableModem NEG 1 just get this in the mail . horrible connection and super slow compare to the ARRIS I be rent from Comcast for $ 7\/mo . I be consider keep the rental and suck up the fee just to get decent internet . ca not even stream video from Youtube \/ etc without it buffer every 5 seconds . sad . +993 CableModem POS 5 I recently replace the Comcast provide 5120 with this 6121 , the set up on my side take about 3 minute , and it take about 15 when I call to update the MAC address with Comcast . in the last few week I have have no issue with this modem , the connectivity be rock solid , the speed be high and consistant , and I no longer have to pay the annoying rental fee each month . +911 CableModem POS 5 I have internet service thru Charter , and purchase this modem to replace the Charter rental unit . it be easy to install , and come with everything I need . +488 CableModem POS 5 install easy with a one time call to Comcast and have be work great . increase my download and upload speed by 30 % . +386 CableModem POS 5 I get this unit to replace the cable company 's device . this work better than the one they have I on and in 8 month it will have pay for it be self in the rental fee I be be charge . +528 CableModem POS 5 great equipment ; use since 3 month now and no trouble what so ever . my internet go up and down very randomly but I do not think it the problem of this equipment , I try with other modem too . there be different deal on amazon for the same item , make sure you choose the inexpensive one . +147 CableModem POS 5 all I have to do be to replace the old CableModem , hookup up the new surfboard , and call Comcast to give they the new MAC address , and within 5 minute the upgrade be complete . +459 CableModem NEU 3 bda-s4 boost only 12x 484095-001-00 Boost 32X Part of it because of the splitter . if you need better boost -lrb- and only use single tv -rrb- , choose 484095-001-00 . if you need splitter and do not need so much boost you can go with bda-s4 Wish BDA-S4 have more boost . maybe 20x . it will be great +387 CableModem POS 5 well my old DOCSIS 2 modem begin to loose speed and would disconnect frequently . it be a good 5 or more year old . so buy this and set it up with comcast real easy , call the service number say I want to give the mac address of my new modem and service be back up and run in a few min . now I be get increase speed , and no more trouble with comcast . unfortunaly the router will be the next thing to be replace as the router be limit my speed now . but this product do it be job and do it well with my comcast internet . +876 CableModem POS 5 I have Comcast xfinity . I disconnect my old modem , connect this modem , and then `` re-plugged '' my wireless router . a Comcast installation screen appear on my laptop when I open Explorer . you need you Comcast account number -lrb- on you bill -rrb- , I follow the step , and it work great . I do not need they , but I be keep the number on the bottom of the box . +637 CableModem NEU 3 I be unable to actually use the product , as it do not have a telephone jack in it , which be what I need accord to the cable company , in addition to the ethernet jack . I do have a problem with the seller , as there be no refund , and I be not aware of it at the time of my purchase . if I have read all the post regard the seller and he irate response , I would not have do business with he in the first place . Buyer beware . it come with a 90-day manufacturer 's warranty as refurbish and do not have a problem with that , and come complete with installation disc , usb cord and ac adapter . I relist back onto Amazon and sell it right away . +332 CableModem POS 5 I read all the posting on the Motorola sb6121 and decide to give it a shot . I be pleasantly surprise . I call my Comcast technical help and they get my MAC address instead of the S\/N id as state in some other post . within a minute I be online . unless there be something out there that be go to jump at I later , I believe this be a great product and worth the money . it work very well with my Medialink Wireless-N Router . +123 CableModem POS 5 I have always consider Cisco the gold standard for network hardware , but they gear have usually be out of my price range . I be excite when I see the price tag on this so go for it . so far I have be very happy with it be performance and reliability . very highly recommend . +91 CableModem POS 5 I recommend replace you comcast or other provider supply cable modem , with this linkys cm100 .

I have be use the modem for 2 month . so far , there have not be any problem . the price at $ 140 be certainly a bit steep . I have not do any deep technical datum gathering yet . simple internet speed test indicate the modem can certainly support the specific speed I order via Comcast . the only drawback be Motorola do not offer any warranty on the device . so beware about this fact before make you purchase . +957 CableModem POS 5 this work great with Comcast . I be very pleased with the speed , performance and the easy installation . the size be just right . I hate big and bulky equipment . +794 CableModem POS 4 I be expect improvement in speed , but it do not happen . it be stay about the same 14-16 mb\/s . not sure it be modem 's or isp . do not need to reboot all the time like the old one . will see in the future . +954 CableModem POS 5 I move into a new home which have seven cable outlet in different room . one of the bedroom I turn into a office but the problem be that I only have one cable connection in the room . the connection do okay with either the cable modem or the hdtv but not with both connect . the cable modem would not connect with the tv connect to a splitter . I connect the amplifier and run one cable to the tv and the other to the cable modem . I cross my finger and plug it in ... now I have a great cable internet and hdtv signal , both from one cable connection . the only thing I have a problem with be the 13 day it take from the time I order until the time I receive the item , but that have nothing to do with the item itself . +572 CableModem POS 5 work like a charm right out of the box ! no fuss , no muss .

I want it the other way around -lrb- like my neighbor have -rrb- .

Modem run a bit hot , but that be it . +28 CableModem POS 5 I receive the package yesterday and have this modem work inside of 20 minute . I simply unhook my old modem and follow the step to hook this one up . I run the installation guide cd and when I be do it display the ` Mac '' address , tell I that Comcast will need it and direct I to call they for activation . after the usual 10 minute of they try to get I to NOT talk to a real person I finally get someone on the line who ask I for the Mac address and boom everything work perfectly . I then plug the Ethernet cable back into my wireless router and the three lap top , a couple of Roku 's , a Blu Ray player and the wireless printer all work great . I be not one to constantly check download speed but I be get some download interruption with the last modem so I want to replace it with a newer model . Time will tell but so far I be very pleased with this item and for the price it be a super deal . for my application this get 5 star Amazon be incredible but you need to be on you toe . I have this item in my cart and be ready to purchase it for $ 54.49 . somehow I delete it from my cart and run a new search and come up with this exact same item in a so-called environmentally safe box for $ 29.00 . there must be a catch . I have momentary buyer 's remorse when I be wait on the line with Comcast but absolutely not a issue . no catch and I save $ 25 . remember this be a 2.0 DOCSIS modem not the 3.0 high speed one . I do not pay Comcast for they high speed internet service and my research say I do not need the 3.0 for the level of service that I have with they . so for about $ 30 you can own you own cable modem , eliminate the monthly rental fee and pay this off in about three or four month . March 23rd update-i notice that the price have go up from $ 29 to $ 44.99 since I buy this -- now only $ 10 savings +379 CableModem POS 4 this be a inexpensive cable modem that get the job do reliably . I save money by use my own rather than rent one from Comcast . configuration be simple . the modem 's only flaw be that it have only a single Ethernet port . of course , you can plus a router into it , but it would be nice if it have a small router build in . +306 CableModem POS 5 great modem , come fast and be easy to install . I call up comcast and give they the MAC to provision it , but they say it would take up to three day . for instant satisfaction , I tweet that comcast customer service suck . a rep reply and ask to help . I direct message he with the account number and MAC , and the box be provision within minute . long story short , get the thing run within the first hour I have it and it be a perfect replacement for the crap smc gateway device Comcast usually require -lrb- and charge $ 7\/m for -rrb- . +987 CableModem POS 5 Comcast be my isp . this cable modem be on Comcast 's approve list for all residential speed tier but be sure to check for yourself before order any modem . I have Performance internet tier and get about 21.5 mbp download and 3.8 mbp upload accord to speedtest.net . previously , I be get about 11 mbp download and 1.8 mbp upload use a old Motorola sb4100 . I have not have any problem with the modem overheating . +166 CableModem POS 5 Modem be very easy to hook up . love the slim design and the fact that you can either lay it flat or stand it up . +527 CableModem POS 5 my first option be to buy a Arris WBM760A as part of a new setup to replace a unreliable surfboard sbg6850 but it be not be sell anywhere but ebay for more than I would like to pay . after receive the Ubee 3513 from Amazon , Comcast could not activate it and have try different method to activate it without success . I have lose hope and almost return the Ubee to Amazon until I come across someone on the internet mention that they have activate they modem by use Comcast 's activation page . I give it a try and presto ... activation success ! so if you be have difficulty as I be , try comcast.com\/activate so far , the cable modem have be great . there be no drop or reset . I also have a Motorola SBG6580 that constantly reset ... stay away from the sbg6580 as many have say of its problem ! Update : recently I find out why the ubee have trouble set up with Comcast when I request a technician to do a final check to see if my internet connection be good . when Comcast try to setup the ubee , they system do not expect a customer to own a ubee modem so it will not setup . now if you use the online setup , the modem will be setup but however as a Netgear modem . as a Netgear modem , there be no functional issue as it may have the same chipset as the ubee modem . this be the best way to set this modem up and then leave it that way . be careful if you have a Comcast tech set this modem up as a ubee , you will be charge the rental because Comcast detect ubee serial number as belong to Comcast . now I have a problem with Comcast to straighten out because the tech setup my ubee modem as a ubee modem instead of leave the modem as a Netgear modem . -lrb- see update below , maybe you can setup the ubee modem the right way by call Comcast ? -rrb- Update : in regard to Comcast modem rental charge ... my local Comcast store can not help with the rental charge . I call Comcast billing today to tell they that I own my ubee modem and that I be be charge the rental . all they do be ask for the modem serial number and mac address , and without further question correct the problem and refund my rental fee . Sweet ! we 'll see when my next bill arrive . 3-8-12 +406 CableModem POS 5 great Modem and easy to hook up . just make sure that it be one of the approve router for you service that you be sue . then give they you MAC I.D. # and thenmake sure that you router if use one be reset to except information from this modem and you be all set . fast router . but if you be use Telephony on you computer this modem will not handle this service . it have the capability of be one of the fastest modem out there currently . +359 CableModem POS 5 buy this to replace my rent modem from comcast . all I do be plug it all in but then have to call comcast to make the change . it be pretty easy and it only take I about 30 min to get everything do . +38 CableModem POS 5 the Comcast people be very pleasant but could not get the modem to work . then , I use the following sequence -lrb- page 10 of the download manual -rrb- , and the modem start to work : configure tcp\/ip for Windows 7 1 . click Start and then click control panel . 2 . click Network and Internet to display the Network and Internet window . 3 . click Network and share Center to display the Network and share Center window . 4 . click Change adapter setting to display the lan or High-Speed Internet connection window . 5 . right-click the network connection for you network interface . 6 .

I even get 54mbp when outside in the back yard of a fully brick home . +765 CableModem POS 5 I 'll make this quick and hope I be not jinx myself . this be the easiest thing I have do in deal with Comcast . I lease this ubee modem already through Comcast and want to just buy one instead . I originally buy the Motorola sb6121 . I be sure the modem be fine , but I have issue in get it work with the Comcast representative , ` course that be probably the main problem right there . anyway , I return it and buy this ubee -lrb- which be the exact model I have be lease -rrb- . I unplug they modem , plug mine in , go to comcast\/activate self install webpage and 10 minute or so later I be up a run with no issue -lrb- knock on wood -rrb- . I give Comcast they modem back today and hope I do not have to fuss at they billing department next . +297 CableModem POS 5 I mainly want to see if I could boost the signal to fix a issue with a down-line splitter . I be unable to get 2 tv to work with a in-house splitter , although they have work ok before . this leave I with connect only one tv , and switch it if I want to use the other tv -lrb- kitchen and basement -rrb- . I hook this new splitter up outside my house at the direct point where the cable line come to the house . this be split by the cable company into a 4-way splitter serve 4 jack in the house . as note , I have split the output from one of these jack to serve 2 other tv along with the one at the jack . this use to work , but stop and I could only go directly to one other tv . so this be a direct replacement for the exist outdoor 4 way splitter . I run a outdoor extension cord to hook up the power supply -lrb- which connect to the splitter via a short co-ax cable you need to supply yourself -rrb- . a green led let you know the splitter be power . I then reconnect the 4 line that run into the house and test everything out . I have no problem with the exist tv or the cable modem . not sure if picture quality be better or not , but it certainly be no worse . I then try out the 2 tv off the splitter and it now work ok , solve my problem . I have 2 analog tv with dta box and 4 hd tv with cable box , plus the cable modem , and everything be work well . I be go to look into run a cable line into the house so I can put the power supply in there , and also get some sort of plastic box to put the splitter in -lrb- like the telephone wiring -rrb- so it be a little more protect from the element . if all of you splitting happen inside the house , then you will not have this issue . +238 CableModem POS 5 so I need to say first off I buy this Modem for my new comcast service installation . before I have use the rental modem at several other place but note that my best internet speed be always with the Aris modem I have rent from comcast originally . I do the math and determine that in the long run buy my own modem be cheaper than a rental , plus I could take it with I when I move . -lrb- College student -rrb- so I have use speedtest to see that although I be pay for a 25mb\/s connection I be get nowhere near that speed with the previous qwest and comcast modem . I be not happy at all .

I just finish the 6 minute dvd workout and boy do I feel energize and already slightly tone from just the first workout ! the `` shake '' be generate by you so there be no battery involve . the safety instruction caution to use proper form and not let the barbell `` bobble '' . I must admit , use proper form be much easier on my right arm than the leave since I be dominant and stronger on the right side . after read some of the negative review , I can only conclude that those dissatisfied either do not read the safety instruction or do not follow the dvd workout . I do both . of course it go without say that no gadget will do the work for you : you be responsible for put forth the effort and on a consistant basis . tv informercial tend to lead people to believe that all they have to do be buy the product and hold it in they hand and it will do the work for they ! nevertheless , I think the workout be pretty easy . as for visible tone result , we 'll see what happen after a few week of persistant use . I do like it though ! +220 Dumbbell POS 5 I use my weight almost every day . they be perfect for the tone I want . I would highly recommend this product +848 Dumbbell POS 5 very easy to use straight out of the box . I personally enjoy do this in front of the tv . it be a great way to change you current upper body work out routine and keep thing interesting . Make sure to watch the instructional video a few time to avoid arm injury . +276 Dumbbell NEG 1 when I get the item I though it could be easy to set it up , but I be wrong . the instruction be so bad that it include only one paper with no picture , tool be not number or name . I get the picture from the internet , but it be still difficult to figure out which screw be go in which hole . the screw be too big and too small ... I have hard time set it up , it take I almost three -lrb- 3 -rrb- hour to set it up . but the bumbell be great . and one star be because i cant put lower then that ... +776 Dumbbell POS 5 great product and be very easy to put together . this product be a must if you have the Bowflex SelectTech 552 or 1090 dumbbell . contrary to other review , the stand be actually easy to put together and take about 45 minute to assemble . however , you must read the instruction fully before start , and do not tighten any of the hardware until tell to do so in the instruction manual . otherwise , excellent product . I love it ! +202 Dumbbell POS 5 I bring this stand for my set of 1090 weight . I have read here that the setup be extremely difficult , but the book that come with the stand I receive be great . I have no problem put it together , and I have trouble put anything together . aside from that it be at perfect height for the weight and they fit perfectly . I would recommend this product . +555 Dumbbell POS 5 this rack be very easy to assemble , look nice , and easily hold my dumbel 5-40 lb . it be very sturdy and the sloped design make it easy to pick up the dumbell from any level . +787 Dumbbell POS 4 Pretty expensive for a stand that just hold select-tech . construction be sturdy and it be easy to put together . the best part about it be not have to bend down and risk strain you back dialing and pick up a different weight . also speed thing up when you try to keep up with a exercise dvd that have you switching weight a lot . overal i recommend it , just think it could be a little cheaper . +882 Dumbbell POS 5 this be a must buy if you own a set of Bowflex dumbbell . I do not quite understand the frustration everyone else be talk about with the assembly . yes , it be not the clearest set of instruction in the world , but it be really straight forward . if you look at a picture of the assemble stand , you should be able to figure it out without a problem . +418 Dumbbell POS 4 I give it a try in the store . it be tire and a little uncomfortable . therefore , it just might work . what I like most be that you can work to muscle exhaustion without the fear of drop the damned thing on you foot . +830 Dumbbell POS 5 I live in a one-bedroom apartment and I use these weight for my daily workout . they be unobtrusive enough to keep within the living room without disrupt the floor plan . I have never feel insecure about the stability or safety of these weight . the pin that hold the weight together be very sturdy and do not move during exercise . the pin be also easy to place provide the weight be on level ground and you be at eye level with the weight . the unique shape of the dumbbell have be a plus because it have allow I to do exercise like weighted pushup and overhead triceps extension . the only negative about these weight be that they do make `` clinking '' noise when use for most exercise , make they difficult to use early morning when someone be sleep nearby . this should not be any issue in any other circumstance . +204 Dumbbell POS 5 I love the shake weight . it do everything it be suppose to do . I can feel it work on all my major arm muscle group in less than a minute of use . +558 Dumbbell POS 4 I get this gift for my b.f.f for CHRISTMAS IT WAS OUR FIRST CHRISTMAS AS FRIENDS and I be sure on what to get her and how much my price range should be . SHE HAD EXPRESS DESIRES for THIS PRODUCT , SO I figure it would be a great gift I be do all my CHRISTMAS SHOPPING ONLINE THIS year and see AMAZON.COM OFFERED A great price for the product . when it FIRST arrive I want to try it out its a pretty good product harder than it look for sure . BUT for a great price and to see HOW HAPPY MY B.F.F WAS to get it be worth it for sure . +69 Dumbbell POS 5 pro : \* cheaper and space-saver compare to a set of 9 pair : 5 , 10 , 15 , 20 , 25 , 30 , 35 , 40 , and 45-lb \* upgradable to heavier weight -lrb- hear of this , but not yet confirm , and need to shop around -rrb- . however , 45-lb max be good for I for a long while for upper-body workout : arm , shoulder , and ab . for larger muscle group -lrb- i.e. chest , back , leg -rrb- , I use barbell . \* fairly compact compare to other kind of dumbbell -lrb- i.e. adjustable dumbbell with switching , screw , clipping , or 45-lb hex -rrb- \* look nicer than I think , and seem to last long \* tricep extension be very easy to perform , use the two corner handle , ... \* Rubber pad handle feel very comfortable on hand . con : \* unable to roll up in hand for forearm workout \* must handle with care -lrb- i.e. fixed dumbbell be more durable -rrb- . there be almost always pro and con . this con do not make I unhappy . love they . I wonder why they be not widely available in some local Sports Store . 4.5 star , half star be take off because of the con above . highly recommend . +722 Dumbbell POS 5 these be perfect for a home gym , save space and money over seperate dumbell . way better quality than Weider -lrb- they scare the crap out of I -rrb- or all the Weider knockoff . these might be a little more expensive than those but still way cheaper than seperate and so much more solid -lrb- safe -rrb- feeling , especially when work with they overhead . I buy the classic because I have use they before at a gym and really like they and they be the cheapest as well ... now I wish I would have pony up for the newer-styled one that go higher in weigh . if you be consider PowerBlock weight at all , just buy they ! +593 Dumbbell POS 4 I really like the SportsBlock dumbbell . they be easy to switch from 3 - 24 lb . I really like that they take up so little storage room . I have be use they with the Jorge Cruze 12 second workout dvd and they work great . +813 Dumbbell POS 5 I have have these for about a month now and they be a great space saver in addition to be a very sturdy product . major use : I get they to use with Chalean Extreme from Beachbody and it work really well as the program go from one exercise to the next - it be a very quick change and I have no trouble get use to they . Range : I have always be physically active and I find this range of weight be fine for I as I do not anticipate ever go higher than 25 pound for upper body . my lower body can handle a little higher technically but I do not feel the need to get the higher range of this product . I prefer have the 2.5-3 pound increment as I find that there be a big difference with what I can lift when do a bicep curl versus a shoulder press for example . . if you be try to decide between these and the 5-45 pound , what make my decision be that 90 % of the exercise I do will be adequately supplement by up to 25 pound . for those few exercise where I want heavier I could always just get a adjustable pair with a couple of plate that go between 25-40 and that would be fine . but for right now I be get a perfectly good workout with this range . grip : love it . it be hard for someone like I with small hand to find dumbbell with a good grip . noise : someone say something about a clank sound , there be a minor amount of that but nothing I would have notice if I have not be look for it . I have use the spin lock adjustable dumbbell for year and those make noise too as you go up in weight ... I think that be just the nature of add on plate . I really have find no flaw in these . if you be use carpet I would recommend get the tray ... I be use hardwood floor so they be fine as be for I . I usually just put they up on my table when I be work out so I do not have to bend down so much . +325 Dumbbell POS 5 I have see some people laugh at the shake weight and make it out to be junk or something that they would not want to be catch or see use . truth be it be a extreme work out . I do cardio and then a total gym machine and then the shake weight for 6 min . just follow the dvd and do it before you laugh . the first time you do it it seem like `` alright '' , . . I can feel it I can do it . but then as the day go by and you stick with it , it will surprise you . it work muscle in area that be hard to normally work . I see my Chiropractor now less and I can feel how my neck and under arm be get stronger . I be 48 and it be very good for some of we older guy once we start to soften up . I have no doubt that young guy will feel a core fitness heat that will surprise you all the same . if you want to get pump up like the guy in the tv add then you will need to do much more of course . this alone will certainly not do it . but with a good diet and some cardio I notice a major upper body work out that be well worth it be price . just make sure you breath when you do it . it be exhausting and it burn but it be the kind of burn that build . the program consist of 30 second evolution with a 15 second recovery strech for each exercise . it will get you attention fast ! I use mine about every day . I have no regret in buy it . for it be intended purpose it be make very well . +984 Dumbbell POS 5 assembly be pretty easy and only take about 20-30 minute . May need a socket wrench to help tighten some of the bolt . set up the dumbbell on the stand be easy and the dumbbell work great on the stand . I would recommend to anyone who get the SelectTech DB 's to definitely get this stand . +109 Dumbbell POS 5 the comparison I want to start the p90x program and need a set of dumbbell that would not clutter my small apartment living room . prior to purchase the PowerBlock Classic , I read many review on Amazon.com for other adjustable dumbbell as well as this one . I even go to sport store -lrb- Sports Authority and Sport Chalet -rrb- to try they display model . Sports Authority carry the Select Tech -lrb- 50lb adjustable one -rrb- and the Gold 's gym set . both be problematic . I instantly know the Select Tech dumbbell from Bowflex be poor quality when I pick it up . only one of the dumbbell I could pick up because the other be break ! I have use the Bowflex 90lb version my brother purchase and those be much better quality and work fantastically except with the huge setback of SIZE . they be enormous and cumbersome to lift , often clunk together . the Gold 's Gym dumbbell involve a troublesome slider pin that I could not get use to . I come across a few other similar dumbbell with this pin mechanism and most of the pin get `` stick '' . finally , I come to the PowerBlock Classic . the review the PowerBlock Classic be simple , odd-looking , but excellent . I be scare the magnet\/pin lock mechanism for these dumbbell be weak or fragile -lrb- it really do not look like it would hold -rrb- but boy be it sturdy ! for the other reviewer who warn of the danger of misplace pin , I say that it be not a problem ! the pin snap into place so you know that the pin have be properly put in . sure , the pin can get awkwardly stick into the other slot if misplace but as soon as you try to `` snap '' in the pin , you 'll know you have it in the wrong slot immediately and you can correct for this . I have be use these dumbbell in intensive move and slow move and at all sort of angle with no worry of a pin slide out . these feel very solid with no rattle whatsoever . also , I love that the size of these block be relatively the size of you standard gym dumbbell in term of length so that the dumbbell do not clunk together during a bicep curl . I also love how fast and smooth switching plate can be with these because unlike the Bowflex SelectTech and some other dumbbell , you have to `` fit '' the plate into the other plate . -lrb- just imagine that the underscore be empty spot for a plate and the | be plate . | _ | | -- | | _ | with the SelectTech you have to match the plate back into it be exact spot which take a fairly steady hand to do quickly . this be a slight nuance that I get annoy of but may not be a problem for you . -rrb- with the PowerBlock you simply stick the whole thing into the middle of the remain plate which make it very simple and quick for swap weight . the PowerBlock dumbbell be very comfortable to use with a soft grip so you do not need glove . the extra handle I do not really use but they could come in handy . you can even use these dumbbell as push-up stand since they be that sturdy . conclusion i buy these from Sport Chalet for $ 300 + tax which come out to something like $ 330 so that I do not have to pay for a huge shipping fee . I highly recommend that you get these if you want a set of space-saving adjustable dumbbell . I would say these be the best on the market in agreement to another reviewer . +634 Dumbbell POS 5 very compact so I do not trip over they as I tend to do with other stuff . comfortable grip and cute girly color . +573 Dumbbell POS 5 this stand be very sturdy and a space saver . it definitely make the dumbell easier to manipulate and save you lower back . it also very attractive piece of equipment . how the direction be horrible . luckily they have a picture on the front of the instruction and I be good with put thing together . the direction definitely need improvement . +183 Dumbbell POS 5 I purchase a set of these 5 lb . dumbbell to use with a couple of workout dvd 's I recently buy . they be wonderful . they neoprene make they easier to grab and the hexagonal shape prevent the weight from roll around when you place they on the ground . these weight be not design to help build a huge amount of muscle mass , but when add to a cardio workout , they do help with the muscle toning of one 's arm . I have have these weight for about a month now and really enjoy use they . I plan to soon switch over to the cap gray 6lb . dumbbell . +552 Dumbbell POS 5 these be exactly what I want for my p90x experience . they be affordable and sturdy , unlike some other cheaper adjustable dumbbell I look at . I find no trouble at all in change weight quickly . I be able to change they on carpet without issue as well -lrb- although my carpet be not plush , so I would assume that situation would be remedy with a piece of cardboard or wood -- stand be not need in my opinion unless you want they up higher -rrb- . my only minor complaint be the handle be smooth . again , not a problem for I since I wear glove , but if I do not have glove , the smooth surface would make they slide in sweaty hand . the block feel natural and balanced , so I be overall extremely pleased . not as `` sexy '' as the Bowflex model , but certainly a much better deal price-wise . +716 Dumbbell POS 5 I admit it , my biggest reason for have concern about buy this stand , be the concern of put it together . not that I have trouble in general , put thing together , but because I have a lot of review , not just here , but on a few sport store website as well , that say the instruction be horrible and that this stand be very hard to put together . I be not for sure if they be now put new instruction in with this stand , or if people just do not pay attention when put something together . for anyone concerned about the stand 's assembly , here be what come in the package . 3 different size bolt , 1 size of flathead bolts\/screws , each with the nut attach and 4 stack of washer that work with any of the bolt . that be it . what I do , I open the blister pack of hardware and put each type of bolt together . that take about 1 minute , see that you can lay the 3 type of bolt beside each other and tell the difference in the longer one . once I do this , one step use the biggest bolt , all of they . one step use the medium size bolt , all of they and one step use the smallest bolt , all of they . it be that simple . even better , the instruction and order of assembly start with the biggest bolt , then medium , then smallest . there be no way to screw that up since the smaller bolt be not long enough to fit the step require the bigger one . the one thing I will note be though the allen key be include , be sure to have a pair of small vice-grip or 7\/16 socket\/adjustable wrench , to hold the nut in place while tighten the bolt . the only part I find to be the least bit hard be put the towel stand in . as we start work against gravity and not have enough hand , on this part . I have no idea there be a towel stand , it be the last step , and require hold a curved bar under the dumbbell holder , while insert 4 flat head bolt . still , after a few time of drop the bolt , you will get it right . the stand be not exactly like that one picture . the one picture have more of satin silver color to it , but this one have more of a matte gray color , darker color . not a big deal , as it really work nicely for what it be suppose to do . total time of assembly 45 minute , include remove everything from box . just follow those direction and you will not have a bit of problem . one last note , it do include strap to hold the dumbbell down , so if you buy the dumbbell too , do not worry about cut the shipping restraint , that look just like the strap in the picture I have see with the dumbbell on the stand . great product so far . +557 Dumbbell POS 5 the dumbbell have easy adjustable weight set . other brand use dial , this one use a rubberized magnetic pin strap that be very easy and quick to pull in and out . the weight be well make , secure , compact and safe to use . if you be concern about the risk of weight fall of while in use , do not be , this be the best design I have see and it be virtually impossible of that happen . with the 45 lb classic set , you can expand to 60 lb with add-on . if you need more weight than that , then you should choose the elite model , which can go up to 105 lb set with add-on . +385 Dumbbell NEG 1 unbelievable that any company would even think of sell one weight by itself . you have two arm , right ? keep in mind that these weight be totally overprice if you account for the fact that the price be per weight -- so multiply it by two . not worth it . +19 Dumbbell NEU 3 the product seem fine , but the description on the Amazon website be incorrect . it say `` accommodate all dumbbell style and size . '' this be not true . we smaller dumbbell do not fit on the rack properly . we be go to flip the rail around and put a piece of plywood in between to make it work . +887 Dumbbell POS 5 this be a good addition for the SelectTech dumbbell and bench . the quality be good but some of the bolt in the seat be at a difficult angle to install . the fit and finish be good but there be a small sharp bump at one of the soldered joint ; that be easily fix with the blunt tip of a pair of pliers . the instruction be easy to follow and the stand feel solid . the castor wheel do not have to be use but be a nice option to have . I would recommend it . +694 Dumbbell NEU 3 first , everyone should know that this product be no gimmick , it work . follow with the instructional six minute video , you be guarantee to see result . anyone who do the video properly at the design interval will not question the merit of claim for this product . it be nearly impossible to cheat yourself because muscle be work the entire time to stabilize the equipment . be warn the video remind you of the amusing sexual nature depict in numerous show by now . the personal training and motivation from the instructor provide a few laugh . he constantly remind you to `` keep it away from you face '' , `` go harder '' , `` shake it as hard as you can '' , `` you come for a workout right '' , and `` yeah , keep that core nice and tight '' all say in a strong european accent . the advantage of this device be affordability , durability , and effectiveness . the exercise be destine to provide great result for tone and increase muscle endurance . the drawback of this device have to be in the monotony and repetition . this device can lose its stay power and have limit long term value . it be destine to become a attic filler . for the new user it will definitely be beneficial , but there be nothing addictive about the same exercise for six minute a day with a 5lb slinky\/dumbbell combination . simply state , it be worth the price , but be prepare to find room for it in you next yard sale . for those in need of tone and lose arm fat its a great buy , but the muscle definition be not go to come as a result of session with the Shake Weight pro . +958 Dumbbell POS 4 you will `` feel the burn '' if you use the Shake Weight accord to direction . it will harden up you arm , chest , and choulder with continue -lrb- and proper -rrb- use , but do not be fool by the commercial . they show these huge bodybuilder dude use it and act as though they have just complete a pentathlon . believe it or not , not everyone will see through this exaggeration . the Shake Weight will , as I say , harden you up with continuous PROPER use , but it will not take you from couch potato to bodybuilder as the commercial seem to suggest . it be a decent workout on you schedule . overall , I be happy with the product , but not happy with the commercial ; it be market a little too well ... +458 Dumbbell POS 5 I order this dumbbell for some reason think it be a pair . the dumbbell be perfect in every way , but just be aware that you need to order two if you need two , to avoid have to delay the time it take to have two . that say , they both arrive quickly . +698 Dumbbell POS 4 I look at several dumbbell rack on Amazon and finally decide to go with the apex 3 tier . very happy with this product . as many item I have receive from Amazon , the box be destroy . not sure what go on at they facility but they be hard on some cardboard ! regardless , all the item need to assemble the rack -lrb- nuts\/bolts -rrb- be in the box and I put it together in about 10 minute . this thing be very well build and extremely sturdy . I have dumbbell pair include 15 , 20 , 25 , 30 , 35 , 40 , and 50 pound on this rack . I would have give this rack a 5 star rating if they have make it about 4 inch wider because I could have stack my 45 and 60 pounder on it as well . regardless , great product . it be like sit you dumbbell on a concrete floor except now I do not have to bend over and pick they up . +142 Dumbbell NEU 3 I buy this product a month okay , and have be use it pretty consistently since . the bottom line be , I like it , and I do not regret my purchase . I do not think that it be a miracle product , though . as for the pro , it be safe , affordable , and convenient to use . also , the dvd that come with it offer good instruction . at first you may feel a bit of a burn , but after some time , most of the excercise do feel more natural . as for the con , I do not think that it live up to the hype . sure , it may offer some tonage and some improvement of muscle strength , but it really do not feel like a well-rounded workout . this have become my commercial break gadget -- it be a great thing to squeeze in throughout the day . real definition and health benefit , though , take more dedication than the `` six minute a day '' that the product claim be all you need . when I feel like a real workout , I 'll do something else . another con be that the weight can feel really awkward for some of the one-handed excercise . not awkward as in a `` I be not strong enough to do this '' but more a `` this feel weird and unbalanced in my hand . '' as part of a overall fitness plan , I think it serve its purpose . I do not think that this product alone will deliver perfect arm , though . +994 Dumbbell POS 5 I be look for a rack for my dumbell and see this one on Amazon . I read most of the review and most be positive review . I look at other rack of this quality and they be all over 200 dollar . this be a good deal since shipping be also free . this rack be sturdy and well build and hold my weight just fine . I would recommend this rack to anyone . +847 Dumbbell NEU 3 this exercise device be serious exercise . I be have to work up to the full 6 minute workout slowly . I do the full six minute , follow the video , the day it arrive . I be sore for three day afterward . I think it will be really good for I in the long run just do not make the same assumption I do that this would be easy from the start . +57 Dumbbell POS 4 this be a no-brain-er it do as advertise the only catch be only you have to use it but it do work . not sure about the 4 star rating since the system will not allow any less ... +403 Dumbbell POS 5 if you use it every day it really work . im in my 50 and be unhappy with excess skin around my elbow and want to tone my arm . you have to use it correctly and you will see result . I see a huge difference in 5 week . +782 Dumbbell POS 4 ok , so , I have own this product for about 6 week now , and I have be use it on a regular basis . I `` do '' try to work out a few time per week anyway , but , I do not always have that luxury -lrb- due to hectic work schedule -rrb- . anyway , after use the Shake Weight for maybe 3 week , I have start to notice small improvement in the toning of my arm , bicep strength , and overall arm strength . I have no tie to this product , but , I have to say , I really like use it ! I keep use it because it seriously break the monotony in my old -lrb- and boring -rrb- work-out routine , -lrb- which be very important for build muscle -rrb- . I notice that I be use muscle that I do not normally use , from dumbbell & weight alone ... and I must admit , it be fun to use , and you will feel you arm burning after just a few short minute of use this product -lrb- also , a good thing -rrb- . and , YES , there be some `` science '' behind this product . be it the `` be all end all '' of workout ? no ! you still have to eat right , try to live a healthy lifestyle , etc etc. ... but , it be a well construct product , that be fun to use , and `` so far '' seem to be work like they claim . I be usually pretty skeptical when I see something on a tv commercial regard fitness , but , have be into fitness & martial art -lrb- on & off -rrb- for year , I know the science be base on Isometric Contraction , and resistance . it be a proven science and it do work . I do similar excersize when I train in martial art year ago ... only we do not have this type of product back then . yes , there be plenty of negative comment out there -lrb- regard this item -rrb- , but , do not knock it until you have try it . I really think it be kinda weird at first , but , when you start use it , and notice a difference in a reasonable amount of time , you 'll keep use it , which be also very important . my only complaint with the `` Men 's '' version of the Shake Weight , be that it be only 5 lb . would have be a bit better if it be 7 or maybe 8lb ... but , that be just I . maybe they 'll make another model down the road ??? that be my story , and I be stick to it . : -rrb- +298 Dumbbell NEG 1 I buy a lot on Amazon , and very rarely return anything . I return this item . pro : - none that I can tell relative to other fitness option . con : - too long\/bulky -lrb- I be not a small person - 6 ' 5 '' -rrb- . - slippery plastic handle , far below the standard for any dumbbell , much less one you shake . this alone be a dealbreaker . - awkward motion -lrb- this be more subjective -rrb- . - weird\/gimmicky . 5 different size people in my family try this and none like it . that be the only thing I can remember all of we agree on in a long time . I buy it on a whim , and now be pay the price -lrb- around $ 8 -rrb- to return it . the rip dude in the infomercial be such a sell-out , I hope he friend at the gym never let he live this one down . +187 Dumbbell POS 5 this be a great product . change the weight amount if simple and and fast . this one piece allow my wife and I both to use the same equipment . of , Amazon be always the place to get a great and fair price . +111 Dumbbell POS 5 it get the job do ! it be 15 pound and just like the one at the gym ! : I can not say anything bad about it . I hope I do not drop it on my toe . try to get the 20 word long review ... -rrb- +687 Dumbbell NEG 2 I try out and review almost any new fitness equipment I can get my hand on ... it be my `` thing '' . and while we all love fun thing that change we body -lrb- the perfect combo -rrb- , I personally do not feel this be one of they . and neither do the independent professional study try they out . in study compare these to a few rep with good weight , these always lose in comparison . they do not do anything more than handweight , but most study show they do far less . the weight be not enough for the change they promise and you be not actually able to utilize as many muscle as you can with regular weight because you can use those to do far more move than can be do with those need to be do with shake . a good cheap pair of handweight and a good upper body dvd in other word will take the novice or the pro in a far more beneficial direction , therefore , than these will . my own opinion ? I agree . for I the limited way these can be use leave the novelty of they wear thin quickly and the gain from they as equally limit . if you have flabby `` batwing '' under you arm which be often the reason most woman turn to try out arm weight , these will not help like regular cheap handweight will . the move need to conquer those can not be do with a shake weight to any degree of efficiency . instead , you need to crisscross two of you handweight while basically clasp you hand together , or use a kettlebell , keep you elbow next to you head\/above you ear and lower you weight behind you head , slowly raise they , keep you elbow in the same place at you head , and lower again for several reps. you need double the weight you would normally lift with one handweight . the shakeweight primarily target the bicep ... again not as well as handweight rep , but it do ... so , it actually be a better product for man unless a woman just need to specifically bulk up there , I guess if she lift heavy box as a UPS driver or something . : - -rrb- that say , no product be bad if it make someone sedentary work out . in fact , it be good . it be not that I be say these will not do anything -- because they will . and as a alternative to do nothing , they would be a five star review . as woman , we begin to seriously lose muscle every year we age ... it be imperative we do something . be these , to I , a fad that can not do nearly the work of a old school handweight ? absolutely ... and there be dvd upon dvd to show you how to use those . for beginner , the biggest loser dvd would be a perfect example . and with those , if you have no muscle , you can start with a 1.5 lb weight in each hand and just increase as you grow muscle . with these , you do not have the option to cheaply expand with test weight increment . with handweight , you can get they anywhere cheaply as well ... but most importantly with those you can work you entire upper body ... include lift you chest muscle -lrb- this work they slightly , but not anywhere close to what you need for and with the move you need for true chest muscle work -rrb- so you do not only grow biceps , you also get a free `` lift '' and prettier shoulder , and no batwing ! but , if it make anyone sedentary work out ... I say go for it ... you can always progress to handweight or a kettlebell later once you be comfortable ! as a side note , this be just a weight you shake . you can use a bottle of water or can of thing to get start . that be a common tool for personal trainer use what people have around the house . but shoot , you can get handweight for 1\/3 of the price of this . why not get 300 % more result with what the pro use because it be work for decade ? and you get two of those for that price ! +103 Dumbbell POS 5 the Power Block Classic 45 be a must have if you be do the p90x Extreme Home Workout . yes like with anything man make you will need to be careful but all the safety information be cover in the handout that come with the block , I be amaze at people complain about the pin and if it be not perfect this and that could happen , all be cover in the handout that come with the block , I be use a pair of end screw on dumb bell and you talk about a pain . pause the dvd , unscrew the end , and remove the weight , screw back on the end , un-pause the dvd . so after that routine the power block be a gift from heaven , I work out on carpet and find it easy to roll the block on they side to change the weight , the pin go right in and it give I a moment to do a little check , and I do this without pause the dvd . the power block appear to be a little pricey , especially if you be on a budget . it be mainly because you be pay for all the weight upfront , unlike with dumb bell where you buy a set and when you need more resistance you go out and buy other set , and keep repeat this process until you have spend double of what the power block cost , the main thing here be it be not all at one time , the buying be do over month even year . I really can not tell you how much I enjoy do p90x now with my power block . and in the end if you be look at the power block you have make a decision to get in shape and you can not put a price on you health . only a doctor can do that and trust I it get expensive . +737 Dumbbell POS 5 love these adjustable set . Perfect for woman who do not need 40 and 50 pound weight . so many exercise you can do by adjust the weight in 3 lb increment . it be worth the money and investment , especially for those day you do not have time or do not feel like make the trip to the gym . +501 Dumbbell POS 5 if you own the selectech bowflex dumbell then this dumbell stand be a must . it allow you to pick up the weight with out haveing to bend over and strain you back . for that reason alone be be worth the money . also the rack be well build and not bad to look at either . it make a great combination with the selectech 552 dumbell that I purchase . +188 Dumbbell NEU 3 everyone else have expound the benefit of this item with the one con be the instruction . certainly I scratch my head especially with the strap . -lrb- btw you have to unsnap the longer strap and loop the side without the snap through and then use the snap to secure it to the stand . -rrb- I would like to point out a few more con . 1 . the packaging and paint job from the manufacturer be terrible . Mine arrive with multiple paint ding and a destroy bowflex sticker . the bubble wrap provide only minimal protection give the shipping weight . the box easily tear by the UPS guy and I be surprised everything be still there when I open it . 2 . it also have multiple cosmetic paint abnormality such as bubble and run . the paint be also different shades than the bench and the weight . come on , how hard be it to paint the bench and stand the same color ! 3 . the stand tilt the weight forward make it harder to replace the handlebar on the stand if you have a weight that be sandwich between other . this happen because the weight lean . I have the 1090 set . 4 . it be too low and narrow . I be only 5 ' 7 '' and I have to bend down to get the weight . also because of how close they be it be more difficult to assume a correct posture . still it be a lot better than have they on the floor . in all I be expect more than I get but , be a physical therapist , I think you would be a fool to not have something to set these 90 # beast on . +261 Dumbbell POS 5 I have have my 50 lb Powerblocks do p90x for over a year now with not one complaint . I have the Selectech 50lb weight and after about three month the selecting mechanism start to seize on both ! for the price , the build , and simplicity , Powerblocks be the only multi-barbell I recommend ! +611 Dumbbell POS 5 I agree with the other review ... this work great ! my upper arm have become more and more flabby over the year , and within just a few week , I see a shocking improvement . I also do the 6 minute workout daily -lrb- because of the positive result , I be very motivate to keep do it -rrb- , and mostly while watch tv , since it be a easy routine to remember . I also take it on vacation with I , since it do not take up that much room . I have see the absurd comment about it be suggestive , but honestly , do not most excercise look silly when you be do they ? this work great , and I be convince to buy it because the main site offer to not only return the purchase and shipping price , but pay for return shipping if you want to return it . +82 Dumbbell POS 5 this product be great ! it be easy to assemble and very sturdy . on another note ... I be not try to take the wind out of the sail of people that buy the Bowflex or PowerBlock adjustable dumbbell , but I be always suspicious about how well they actually work . I also feel weird whenever I go to a local fitness equipment store and they work so hard to try to sell these to I with claim of `` these cost less than a non-adjustable set '' or `` these take up less space . '' I know deep in my heart that these salesman do not care about save I money or how much space I have , they want to make a higher profit . I know that the traditional dumbbell like the one I buy for this rack will be more versatile , can work with all exercise , will not break easily , and probably last I 15-20 year . check out my customer picture for this product . +184 Dumbbell POS 5 these come 1 each ! other than that , they be very grippy and comfortable to use . I use they to add weight to my ab workout and do punch drill . I would recommend they , but remember to order 2 ! +48 Dumbbell NEG 2 the product be functional and do what it say however the right side part and leave side part come mismark l and r or be it r and L. one stand be about 2 inch lower than the other so I take the whole thing apart and swap piece from one side to the next and then the other side be short . after lay the large silver frame side by side its obviouse its not the assembly and that the part be assymetrical . this also prevent the towel rack between the two platform from be attach . since it pretty much do what it be suppose to , do not cause I any issue with lift the dumbbell off and if it be not such a pain to disassemble and rebox I would have send it back to get a new one . Dumbbell adjustment mechanism stick a little but I suspect this will losen up over time or with a little squirt of oil . +583 Dumbbell NEU 3 I be really excite to get this product , in fact , most of the review on Amazon lead I to believe that this prodcut be worth check out . naturally , I be skeptical and wonder if it would really work . the SW just arrive yesterday and I be really excite to put it to the test ! I complete the 6 minute arm workout which do not sound like it be even long enough to work anything , but to my dismay , my muscle be definitely work ! however , about a hour after my workout I be do my normal odd job around the house when I happen to look up from whatever I be do and it feel as though every single muscle in my neck have be pull . it be and remain horribly painful . I have iced and heated and even go to yoga this evening in hope it would relieve the strain . they do not tell you to relax the neck in the workout and I do not even think I be strain it until the aftermath . please please do not strain you neck or place unnecessary tension in you neck as you figure out how to use this weight . surprisingly , the proper technique do take a bit to get down as you naturally want to move you wrist etc. . I would not say do not buy it ... just buy it and realize that other body part may feel strain from the shake ! good luck in you decision make ! +104 Dumbbell NEU 3 I have actually order this same rack before , very impressed with quality and find set-up take about 1\/2hr : pretty simple . unfortunately this second rack arrive in a box that look tamper with and indeed be . miss many of the screw on the plastic card . look as though this leave the warehouse this way . do call company and be wait on new screw . will update when and if they arrive . +909 Dumbbell POS 5 the rack be easy to assemble , it look `` gym '' quality and be reasonable price . it be perfect for a home gym set-up . I be extemely please with the quality and ease of assembly . +376 Dumbbell NEG 2 #stopwatchinginformercials #latenightpurchase note : this be part of the #hashtag review program : deliver insight on the overall product experience , without the self-entitlement . +162 Dumbbell NEG 1 move 2.5 lb around be not effective -lrb- unless you 10 -rrb- . step up to the man 's to get the job do . +824 Dumbbell POS 5 I be glad this powerblock dumbbell set be my first investment in free-weight for my home gym . I be tempt to get the Bowflex set because of the media\/marketing , but glad I read the review first and then learn about this set . these dumbbell deserve more marketing than they get !! I also buy the sport tray - it have a tilt\/angle & make change the weight easy . I do not need the floor stand . this tray -lrb- PowerBlock Sport Tray pro : - sturdy - innovative -lrb- on the market b\/f bowflex selecttech\/similar -rrb- & less expensive - versatile - comfortable grip - save so much space ! tip : the two parallel side bar be great for tricep press ! I grab they from the bottom side . yet , if U reach 40 - 45lb level -lrb- 35lb if U have larger hand , you 'll need to find a more creative way to grip the bottom side bar . con : as a previous reviewer write , you can slip the pin in un-evenly if you be not look at what you be do . s0 - look & pay attention ... good thing be - you would notice this immediately . it also would be nice if they workout poster or log book come w \/ the set . happy training !! +809 Dumbbell POS 5 I be very skeptical before buy this . I have be work out use standard dumbell but never be able to get a clear definition on my arm . I buy this and after 2 week , I can see my triceps come out of under the layesr of fat . I always have a challenge with biceps show up . . but if I keep work relegiously , I be sure I will see some bicep muscle in a couple month . this be much better than dumb bell and all the curl I have be do . effective product . +133 Dumbbell POS 5 the 32 dumbbell set with stand be nice . we have use it quite alot and really enjoy it . I hate to complain , as I hate read complaint , lol , but I buy these from Amazon because they be on the Todays Deal , and I be so excited about get a bargain on these weight ! come to find out , what I pay be the normal price Amazon sell they for , I guess they just jack the price up before put they on the today 's deal . bad form Amazon , bad form ... it make I wary to jump to grab any other Todays deal ... but I will give the product review 5 star as the weight set be as picture and describe . +618 Dumbbell POS 5 I like these simple , comfortable barbell . they be solid and well build . they feel good in you hand . I like the blue color . I will probably buy the 9 pound one when I be ready to move up a bit . +912 Dumbbell POS 5 it be a workout build the stand but I love it . the stand pretty much save my back during p90x super set . I should have buy it earlier . bring it ! +923 Dumbbell POS 5 this rack take up about the same amount of space as a small dresser . it hold all of my husband weight and be a very good purchase . +67 Dumbbell POS 5 great set . I zip through workout quickly w \/ this set of dumbell . a bit pricey but you get alot for you money . I hope they will last , prior to buy from this site , I check the set out at a big name sport goods store w \/ the dirty name . the display model be break from customer use . not sure if someone mishandle it or it be just from repetitive use but on one setting , one of the plate would not stay attached\/engaged w \/ the main dumbell . great pc of excercise equipment . +860 Dumbbell NEU 3 after read a ton of review I finally give into curiosity and buy the shake weight . and while many of the review who talk about feel a burn be correct I think it be important to consider the situation of the user make the review -lrb- which be not always clear -rrb- . for I , I work out a couple of time a week at a normal gym use mostly free weight that be a lot heavier than the shake weight , I have honestly find the shake weight routine to be a good way to get a bit more of a muscle burn . however , I do not feel that the weight itself create a lot more resistance than do high volume rep at weight that be 5-10 lb less than you normal set . that say , my girlfriend who do not do a ton of free weight work and instead focus she work out on cardio and yoga get a really strong burn and be even sore the next day . thus far she be find that the shake weight have seemingly be pretty effective as a addition to she routine and something that be very valuable . point being , different people will get totally different result . personally , I think the product be pretty interesting and I 'll probably continue to use it at longer interval , but I honestly do not think you 'll end up look like the fitness trainer if this be all you do . also I might feel differently if there be a slightly heavier version of the product or on that require more effort to shake . +219 Dumbbell POS 5 after do a fair amount of research and read the review I choose this apex dumbbell rack for my home gym and be not disappoint . it be rock solid , functionally build , and fit in nicely . for some reason the instruction say to use 2 adjustable wrench , when all you really need be one socket wrench and it easily assemble in about 15 minute . that 15 minute though do not count the 30 minute it take I to go to Lowes to replace 3 miss screw and 2 washer . the box have a sizeable hole rip open in it upon arrival and on top of that most of the screw and nut and washer that be there be loose , so obviously some fall out in transit . I be surprise I be not miss more . consider that I only pay $ 89 on Amazon for it with free shipping , I can deal with the miss part . it be hard to believe that such a well make product can be so poorly package though , but if you can make it beyond that then this be a great dumbbell rack . +257 Dumbbell POS 5 before I purchase this rack I have DONE RESEARCH ON OTHER SIMILAR RACK that be more expensive and did not look as good as this one . when I purchase this item I think it be one of those cheapy rack that I would end up REPLACING in no time but once I receive it and see the quality of material this rack wa make of , I be BLOWN away by the FACT that I get a great deal for a very great price . the SHIPPING WAS very FAST and I even receive MY ORDER A COUPLE DAYS before the actual ship date . fast processing . I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS ITEM NOT ONLY BECAUSE of it be PRICE BUT BECAUSE IT will last you for a very long time . it be ALSO very stylish that 'LL give your WORKOUT ROOM A BETTER LOOK . +885 Dumbbell POS 4 as a graduate student living in a apartment , I do not have a lot of money or space for exercise equipment . fortunately , these take up practically no space -lrb- they be easily store in a closet or even a drawer -rrb- and be worth every penny . they look nice , provide a comfortable grip , and be perfectly adjustable . my only complaint be that the plate clink around a bit when you move the dumbbell around ; I have find that add a bit of padding -lrb- a wedge of cloth , for instance -rrb- can cut down on this noise . +87 Dumbbell POS 5 this be a great product . I do not receive the cd with the dumbbell , but be sure it would help to have that . however , I have be use it and have wonderful result . L. +916 Dumbbell NEG 2 Notice description show 3.5 pound ... it weigh 2.5 pound ... submit to Amazon , see if they will correct the ad ... it be not weighty enough to `` burn '' my muscle ... my old hand weight be 4 pound already , so probably why ... be great weight for a beginner child , like age 12 , when first learniing to correctly use to avoid injury +888 Dumbbell POS 5 I want a set of dumbbell that I could use at home and that would not take up too much space . when PowerBlocks be release , I think they would perfectly meet my expectation , I choose , however , not to purchase PowerBlocks and instead buy the old fashion dumbbell bar that permit weight to be add plate by plate . these have be great except that weight change be time consuming . so , after several year of wait , and after have read the many positive review about this product on Amazon , I purchase a set of PowerBlocks . I recently receive the PowerBlocks and have be use they ever since . without a doubt , they have meet all of my expectation and be one of the best fitness purchase I have make . powerblock take up minimal space , weight change take only a few seconds and it have be excellent have a weight range which go down to 3 pound . that last point may sound strange , but I generally would not spend money on weight weigh less than five pound becuase of how infrequently I would use those weight . here , I get the benefit of have those weight without have spend the extra money on the same . I do not have anything negative to say about this product . in fact , my next purchase will be the 5 to 50 pound classic set . I also want to say that I be not affiliate with PowerBlocks or any other fitness company - I be a attorney . I mention this because I believe that many review - either heavily positive or heavily negative be either write by person affiliate with the list product or , in the case of a negative review , a competator 's product . in this case , I be simply a happy customer . +622 Dumbbell NEU 3 for a combination of fairly quick plate change , fairly heavy weight capability , fairly short length , & ok solid feel , these will do : although `` Selectec '' , `` Bowflex '' & `` nautilus '' change weight faster & more safely , they be too long , even when set at very low weight , & be not available as heavy db . although `` Ironmaster '' change plate a bit more slowly , they be much more solid , have a design much more functional for a wider variety of exercise , & can be special-order to be as heavy as you want they . +944 Dumbbell POS 5 excellent product for the money . since it be one piece nothing can loosen and fall off . they be coat with , I be guess , a epoxy . it have a smooth surface a will not rust . so they be no maintenance , and do what they be suppose to ; what more can you ask . a good value . +956 Dumbbell POS 5 I love this item . it work out you biceps , triceps , forearm and chest . you can even use it as a dumbbell for bicep and triceps curl . I highly recommend this item for a good upper body workout . also it be very inexpensive . +270 Dumbbell POS 4 these powerblock work as advertise . I prefer the bowflex adjustable dumbell due to the way they adjustment mechanism work , but they be considerably more expensive and require the use of a base . these powerblock work well overal and seem to be very well construct . the magnetic pin mechanism work well , although sometimes it seem awkward insert they , especially when the insert location be near the bottom of the block . once the pin be insert , the block be very reliable and stable . I have never experience drop or partially connect weight , which be something that can occur on the similarly price weider adjustable dumbell . +838 Dumbbell POS 4 I have be use this dumbbell set for several month now , along with some more standard dumbbell and a Bowflex weight bench . while I prefer the feel of standard dumbbell , this set be very compact to store and it be very easy to adjust the weight for specific exercize . I feel that they give I just as good a workout as any dumbbell I have use , even if they be a bit too bulky to use for wrist curl and other short range of motion exercize . for the standard bicep curl , bench press , overhead press and the like , I highly reccomend . +126 Dumbbell POS 5 these be my first set of PowerBlocks and I must say , I love THEM !!! make very well , sturdy and the handle be contour and very comfortable !!! to select a weight with the pin be a breeze to put in !! highly recommend these as a starter set and these DO NOT Upgrade !!! +514 Dumbbell POS 5 this item be give as a gift . the recipient receive the product in a timely fashion . the person be very well pleased with the Shake weight . +560 Dumbbell NEG 2 the Shake Weight be not what I think it would be . it do not work as smoothly as it seem in the commercial . +340 Dumbbell POS 5 I love these . they could not be easier to use , and they feel very solid in my hand . I use to own the Bowflex Selectechs , and while I like they , I feel they be a bit long , sometimes make it awkward to balance . the selectech be also more expensive . this time around , I want to get something compact , easy to use and effective for do dumbbell exercise with light to moderate weight . it be also important my wife be comfortable use they . the PowerBlocks deliver nicely , and I be very happy with my purchase . whether you want to use they like a standard dumbbell , or want to take advantage of the extra handle for two hand exercise , the PowerBlocks could not be simpler . the padding around the handle be great for keep you wrist comfortable as well . I also appreciate the 5 lb . increment , as some company only offer 10 lb between selection . on the flip side , some company offer 2.5 lb , and that be nice , but I have never feel the need for that , personally . you might , so just be sure you research and get the one that do . the one area you need to really watch be where the pin attach to each designate weight . just make sure they line up with the color code weight , and all will be well . even free weight dumbbell be sometimes put in the wrong place , and I have pick up a mixed-matched set , not realize it until I wonder why I get so strong on one arm all of a sudden . the same be true for all other brand , so this be no knock on the product . just be careful . in hindsight , I should have buy the higher capacity PowerBlocks , with the ability to add on . however , this be my problem , and have nothing to do with the quality or effectiveness of this product . my wife will never use more than the weight on the classic , so I may end up get some dumbbell handle I can add Olympic plate to if I want to . or , since I like these so much , I might just order the elite for myself , and let I wife lay claim to the classic . regardless of which PowerBlock product you choose , I think you 'll be very happy with you purchase . I do not have the stand , but have something elevated for the sake of good ergonomics be nice , so you may want to consider one of those if you do not have a table or desk to place these on . there be some nice alternative to standard dumbbell out there , and have lift free weight most of my life , I get just as effective a workout on dumbbell exercise on the adjustable product as I do with individual one . I still believe separate dumbbell have they place , but they have a hard time compete with item that take up much less room and be way less expensive , when consider the weight range involve . so , should you buy the PowerBlocks or the Selectechs , or anything similar , you 'll have a effective way to train with dumbbell . for I personally , the Powerblocks be the best bang for buck one out there , and I think you 'll be quite happy with they too . I think I have say the word `` happy '' enough , so I leave you to you shopping , and I wish you luck and fun in build you home workout area ! +206 Dumbbell POS 5 First thing first : if you need weight higher than 24 pound , these be not the weight for you , as they be not expandable , unlike most other powerblock system . if you do not need heavier weight , however , look no further - these be the best , most durable , quickest adjust dumbbell you can get . it be a great set for home workout quick change to the amount you be lift , like p90x . I buy these weight as a gift for my wife , and she love they . before these , she be use resistance band for p90x , and since buy these , she have not look back . I have a heavier , expandable PowerBlock set , and try a few other in my search for those . the design of this set be my favorite . the biggest advantage be the speed and ease of switching . there be no internal handle weight that you have to remove and add to make small change , nor be there multiple dial that can take awhile to line up like with some competitor . you simply put the handle into the stack and adjust the bar . the set feel safe and solid , and this be of course more cost-effective and space-efficient than buy set of 3 , 6 , 9 , 12 , 15 , 18 , 21 , and 24 . for someone who be not look to add bulk or lift heavy weight , this be a excellent buy . +437 Dumbbell POS 5 if you have the SelectTech dumbbell I highly recommend obtain the stand . my main reason be to eliminate possible lower back injury : this stand place the weight at the perfect height -lrb- I be 6 ' 0 '' -rrb- . finally , do not listen to any of the other review concern the assembly process ; if you read the instruction and lay out the component assembly should only take about half a hour . +303 Dumbbell NEG 2 excite to receive the Shake weight I order . so excited I order one for my wife . unfortunately it turn out to be a waste of money . I guess the ` old say ' , if it look too good to be true , it probably be ... ' this item be very limit in what exercise you can do with it . +369 Dumbbell POS 5 I be 73 year old and have be work out in some form or fashion for about 60 year . I start in high school , continue at the U.S. Naval Academy and for 21 year while in the U.S. Marine Corps and for 30 year since retire . if you use the shake weight as explain , every day in the extreme mode it will kick you butt and you will feel it . +636 Dumbbell NEG 2 it be alright for a while when you get it , but I find it boring after a while to use , I prefer bench press over shake weight . +651 Dumbbell POS 5 I get this for my husband birthday . he have be look for a dumbbell rack for a couple month , in store , and have not be able to find a quality product . I buy this and it arrive early . he put it together quickly and easily and he love it . it be sturdy and be much better than any other product we see in the store . +411 Dumbbell POS 4 buy it for my gf and she seem to love it and you can tell she arm be get less flabby by the week ! great product recommend for any woman try to tone up she arm and lose the flab ! +745 Dumbbell POS 4 after start a new workout program that need a variety of weight and live in a apartment complex , I do not have much room . after review many product and talk with people , i choose the power block for the variety of weight , compact size of the weight and be able to quickly choose the size weight I need be great . but mostly to know when lift the weight over my head , they will not fall off , the durability be excellent . this be a great buy . +966 Dumbbell POS 5 buy this for my girlfriend it work great and she love it just use it as much as pssible and it realy work graet +index Domain Label Rating Review +68 Dumbbell POS 5 I see this thing on tv and think it look useful . I order it and give it a try . it be a pretty useful product . I like that it come with a dvd . you can pick it up whenever you what and start work on you arm . Pretty convent and easy to use . +541 Dumbbell POS 5 i purchase the weight 10 day ago and i do the video for 6 min every day i have a little musel it be so cool i be try to loose weight and the lose skin need to tighten up i love this weight and i will keep do it +182 Dumbbell POS 5 these weight be awesome . so easy to switch from different weight . best part be that they be compact and not huge like my olympic weight . no more spring clamp for I !!! just slide the rod out and slide it in to desire weight and you off . take about 2 seconds to switch weight . Couldnt ask for anything more . these really be the world best dumbbell ! get em , you wont be sorry ! Worth every penny . +936 Dumbbell POS 4 Ok so i order the shake weight from the Amazon store and i just receive it , im not gonna go through the hassle of s & h. when I open the box , i be as exit as a little kid in a candy store , i mean who would not be ? so i start use it , think that that be how you turn it on -lrb- do not read the manual -rrb- but no luck , so i put in the dvd and it do not say anything about turn it on , so i get angry and start read the manual and it say and quote : `` unlike the impression create by the rapid motion of the device , the Shake Weight be NOT battery power , the user generate the movement . '' I use the shake weight for about 15 min and i see that it actually work , the only reason that i rate 4\/5 star be because in the commercial nor in the description mention that it be not battery power . they have to be specific about thing like this . but this product do work , you just have to do the movement . also do not watch the dvd , just look at the popular shake weight exercise and you 'll get it . +960 Dumbbell POS 5 I put it together and put a bunch of weight on this rack . let I tell you it be build sturdy . for the price you can not beat the quality either . very happy overall . +150 Dumbbell NEU 3 well as many other im sure i be skeptical still be a bit i certianly be not a exersize buff like some people who claim this doesnt work for they its because you have move beyond the level of intensity this product offer but they suppose 6min work out a day to tone arm be such bull in order to feel any burn from this the next day the video\/workout must be do a few time over otherwise its as if nothing have happen so i suggest use this a couple of time in morning and a couple at night at the very least but the more you work with it the better the burn the next day and the more it burn tomorow the better you work you muscle yes it be a bit odd to use and yes it isnt just the `` shake '' to the workout its about 50\/50 you shake it then use it as a dumbell pretty much but it do work the muscle i havent use it much yet so no real improvement yet but im certain if i can manage to keep at it i will see inprovement +693 Dumbbell POS 5 Laugh all you want . this thing actually work . Watch the silly video and follow the workout . it be not go to turn you into Mr. Sexy on the commercial but it will tone you upper body . +22 Dumbbell POS 5 the shake wieght will definately work you , and wear you out !!! it be a great deal !!! I use it regularly , and you can actually feel the result , you 'll tigthten up quickly use it , you 'll love it . its a excellent way to stay in shape ! +116 Dumbbell NEU 3 Allright , I have purchase the female shakeweight for my wife , and she absolutely love it . after give it a shake , I decide to go out and purchase the man 's one . after use the man 's one for less than a week , the Shakeweight begin to make some horrible noise , and I call they to ask they about this . apparently , something have come loose within the inside , cause it to make a racket whenever I shake it . now , I know it take lot of technique to shake this and keep it still , but even if you do not do it right , I do not think it should break . so , bear in mind that the Shakeweight be subjective to damage , as the more you use it , the more noise it will make . after use the female one interchangeably with the man 's , I have notice some noise come from it too . my belief be that the Shakeweight have some potential problem , and you 'll probably have to get it warranty out a few time within a year time span . do it work ? yes , I believe it work quite well , despite the problem I have have with it . I like use it , but problem plague its construction . so keep this in mind when purchase it . +704 Dumbbell POS 5 be prepare for the most annoying , frustrating , complicated hour + of you life . more complex then the solar system , this stand will arrive in piece . accompany with instruction that not even God herself could understand . the only thing that keep I from reach astronomical anger level be the fact I receive the stand for FREE . I have be in workout\/diet mode since July , and finally decide to invest in some weight . I have remember those tempting bowflex infomercial 's , and decide to YouTube some Bowflex dumbbell video . well , after about 30min of watch , I feel I really want a pair for my living room . I visit the Bowflex website and decide on the 1090 model dumbbell . as I be about to go to checkout I notice at the top of the website a `` one day only '' promotion the site be have . with the purchase of the 1090 model -lrb- only -rrb- you could get the Bowflex SelectTech stand FREE , + FREE SHIPPING and handle within the usa with the promotional code at checkout . needless to say I be very happy . I be plan on get the stand anyway , so get it free be great . and get it all ship to I free be even better . I pull the trigger , my order go through . from the time I place my order , to the time everything arrive be about a week and a half . Bowflex use FedEx so you can track it daily and know exactly when to expect the delivery . Ok , so . . the dumbbell obviously come out ready to use . -lrb- beautiful dumbbell by the way -rrb- . however , the stand come completely disassemble . let I save you a whole lot of frustration . take the time to unwrap every piece and lay it on the floor . even the screw . note : THERE be 4 different size screw . at first glance you eye will tell you there be only 2 size screw . this be because who ever package these screw do not care to make it easy on the buyer by separate the screw . take the time to put the screw in size order . and separate they . screw size from largest to smallest : = = = = = = = = = = 8 screw this size . = = = = = = = = 4 screw this size . = = = = = = 4 screw this size . = = 4 screw this size . Ok for step 1 and 2 on the assembly step you will be use the 8 longest screw -lrb- along with 1 washer for EACH SIDE of the screw -rrb- . I be confuse by this at first , because the longest screw seem to be to BIG for these step -lrb- step 1 and 2 -rrb- . little do I know that you have to really really really turn the screw tight . note : after you assemble step 1 and 2 do not tighten the screw tight yet . just get they on there by tighten the screw as tight as you can with just you finger right now . everything be go to feel very wobbly at this point . . I know , confusing , but you do not fully tighten they all until you complete step 3 . for step 3 you will be use the 4 second-to-last smallest screw . mean there will still be 4 screw leave that be bigger then the one you will be use for this step . once you have assemble step 3 , NOW TIGHTEN EVERY SCREW you have use . this take I at least 40min + . I know , you thinking - but you only use 12 screw so far ! like I say , the screw will all feel to BIG . you be go to have to hand tighten all 12 screw with a allen key and vise grip until each screw it tight and no screw wobble . this be go to hurt you hand after about 20min . I suggest put on some good music and expect to hurt yourself . Ok now that you have tighten those 12 screw . you feel incredible . not so fast ... now you have to beat the next level . and if you hand do not start to hurt yet , they will now . step 4 and 5 you will be use the last 4 long screw you have leave -lrb- leave only the very little screw leave -rrb- . this step be for the dumbbell platform . get they on first . mean put all 4 screw in and then start tighten each one . this take I about 20min . remember each screw must be tight . if you can wobble the screw , or move it in any way , you have not tighten it enough . Ok , now you have get to the last level . this be the King Koopa of the assembly . step 6 you be install the towel bar . say sorry to you knuckle . you finger be also go to get a beating . you will be use the last 4 set of screw for this step . the smallest screw . note : I think I have lose 4 washer . I spend 10min like a terd look on the floor , and under the couch for 4 miss washer . then realize that I have use 2 washer for each screw in this step -lrb- step 6 -rrb- when I only be suppose to use 1 washer for each screw . step 6 be the only step you will be use 1 washer per screw . all other step use 2 washer per screw . after 20min + of tighten the 4 screw in step 6 -lrb- until nothing move -rrb- , I go to the bathroom and run freezing cold water and leave my hand in there for 3-4min . . I be not kid my hand be beat up bad . after take a little brake to get the feeling back in my hand , I finish up step 7 , attach the strap to the platform . which be easy and take about 15sec per strap . and finally , the final step ... use the caster wheel ? or foot peg ? I have hear some people say to go with the foot peg . because they be go to leave it in 1 spot so why put wheel on . however I go with the caster wheel . only because I own the 1090 model , and if I want to move the equipment for any reason I would need to take off the dumbbell , and move all 3 piece by hand . with the caster wheel its easy to just roll they around . like if you need to clean you home and need to move they for a min or something . plus , all 4 wheel lock . either way the stand come with both option , and be easy to install\/uninstall . only take about 4min . -lrb- no pain -rrb- lol so there you have it . assembly complete . let I tell you , my hand be tell I to leave 1 star on this review , and throw the thing into a river . but once you place you bowflex dumbbell on this stand . . WOW . . this be suchhhhhhhhhhhhh a beautiful piece of equipment . . I mean , it even look great in my living room . no need to put it away when I have company . I get complement on the dumbbell and stand all the time . not to mention I get a GREATTT workout every day . sure assemble the stand almost break you hand , but its the closest thing a male will ever feel to give birth . the pain and suffering be well worth it . this stand be just as nice as the dumbbell , they complement each other perfectly . so in the end I be give this stand 5 star only because once its completely assemble -lrb- properly -rrb- you will love this thing . its beautiful ! like I say , I get mine for free , but I would buy this stand in a second . Hope this review help you with you purchase ! +915 Dumbbell POS 5 Ok , for starter I be a 22 year old in the military . I work out every single day . I can do 60 pushup and situp in a minute and over 30 consecutive pullup . as for Olympic training I be in the gym three time a week . I have to admit when I first see this product on tv all of my buddy and myself hock at it . it look like you be work out to perform oral on someone . in fact , the day i buy it in best buy I stand there for ten minute debate whether or not I should pick it up , for fear that I might be see walk from the store with it . I begin use this product in January and now month later I can say that I be highly mistaken . initially someone who perform rigorous training on a daily basis might scoff at a product like this , but do not be too quick to judge . I use this nearly every day for the past 4 month and I be see result that I do not think I would see . it do get easier to use after a extended period of time , but it be perfect for when you be sit on the couch and you feel the urge to be active . there be cut all throughout my arm and the outer portion of my chest have even bulk up a bit . if you be the type that will just drop a workout after a couple of day , then do not know waste you money . however , if you can remember to do this every day and build the pattern into you life , you will be throughly impressed . guy do not be turn off by the image it portray of you , I assure you the image you will be cast will be much better after a couple month of use . I have never be a big guy but this thing have add muscle in place that have be difficult to gain and I be not the guy I be before use it . many people have make remark about the definition in my arm , most of which can be attribute to this product . again , if you want another weapon in you arsenal against obesity this may not be it , but it will help the guy who do not have much fat and the definition gain will be see very clearly . I highly recommend this product , just make sure to apply yourself on a daily basis just like any other workout . good luck , get fit ! +700 Dumbbell POS 5 excellent engineering , everything you need in a D.B. rack , Easy assembly , excellent price , hold two set of dumbbell from 5 to 50 pound , very sturdy , take up a small space , and mine be even ship for free in les than 24 hour . could you ask for more ? I do not think so . this be a excellent buy . go for it ! +934 Dumbbell POS 5 I have have this rack for a few year now and it have hold up extremely well . it be in the garage where it get use 3-5 time a week , get wet , and abused , however , I have have absolutely no issue with this rack . it be well make and high quality . I would buy this rack again in a heartbeat . +388 Dumbbell POS 4 I buy this include 2 day shipping for $ 32.98 ! can not beat that ! if I have any complaint be the stand be somewhat cheap and can be sharp when place the weight back on the stand so be careful not to hurt you hand . +589 Dumbbell POS 5 we need a stand for we Bowflex weight and this be perfect . we be worry about the assembly due to previous comment but it be amazingly simple if you follow the direction . this be not say that it be a quick assembly . it look good , do the job of hold the weight , and can be move easily . it be a very sturdy piece of equipment . +397 Dumbbell POS 4 I like the powerblock and they change fairly easy . sometimes you can get the pin crossway but it be not hard to correct . I also have the bowflex 52.5 lb . and think they be the best on the market . the question will be how much do you want to spend and how much weight do you need . this product work fine and I would recommend it but the bowflex dumbell be the best . this product be smaller and better for someone not need the extra weight of the bigger dumbell . +543 Dumbbell NEU 3 I be not sure how well this product work but it certainly be entertaining . it be much larger than the Women 's Shake Weight but not much heavier . +779 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy these for my -lrb- grow -rrb- son for he birthday and he love they . I mention that a few review say the size of the dumbbell make some exercise awkward at the limit of the movement , but he say he have not notice any problem . very happy with the quality , convenience , and compact storage . +241 Dumbbell POS 5 I have search all over the place to find 4 pound dumbbell 's with no luck . the only drawback to this be that it be not sell in a `` set '' , you be pay for one dumbbell alone . I purchase two of they and also purchase something else so I could qualify for the free shipping . I be very pleased with my purchase ! +566 Dumbbell NEG 2 I have own the elite series for some time . I be not sure how the new redesign dumbbell work , but these have problem ! depend on what excersise you do the pin slide out , make they very unsafe . another major problem be the plate be very delicate ! you can not even mildly drop these on a rubber mat after a bench press because the plate flex , which make the pin almost impossible to set . very disappointed , they be currently for sale . +784 Dumbbell POS 4 as I say the weight be good but the stand can not hold all six weight . when put together the stand be crooked and when you try to remove the heavy botton weight it fall over . you can remove the top weight carefuly but it defeat the purpose of a stand . I would not return it just because of the stand . weight be still a good buy compare with other weight . +279 Dumbbell POS 5 I research all the adjustable dumbbell on the market and end up buy these . I could not be more pleased . I have not encounter a single workout yet where the size of these baby make they inconvenient , whereas this be the chief complaint with many other adjustable . sure they rattle a bit at the top and bottom of rep , but most adjustable do and it be really not even worth consider as a negative aspect . switch weight be incredibly easy and fast . if you can get these for $ 300 , jump on they and do not look back . the other adustable try and mimic the same model -lrb- think selectech -rrb- , but Powerblock have the gut to actually design a product that do not compromise function for style . +278 Dumbbell POS 5 gizmo and Nicky love these treat . I call the company with a question about they product and talk to the owner . he be very nice and helpful and send we some sample of they other product . I would buy these treat again -lrb- and they other item -rrb- . +180 Dumbbell POS 5 the Shake Weight do what it claim . it do not take much , but the result be feel immediately . good for different exercise . I will get another . Shake Weight.com +349 Dumbbell POS 5 everything be exactly as describe . the sender even ensure that the package have a waterproof covering , which be a really nice touch see that it be storm outside when my package be leave on the doorstep . also , I receive the package with only 3 day , and that be with free shipping ! the weight be great a easy to hold and true to weight . I have no complaint at all ! +586 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy these to start the p90x program . not be very athletic , I think the 3-24 pound weight would be enough . they be solid and well design . change weight be a snap . although they be fine start out , I realize that I would quickly outgrow these weight as I progress through the workout series . 24 pound seem like a lot of weight if you have not be lifit before but after a few week you will wish you have more resistance on some exercise . I return these and get the Powerblock Sport 5.0 that cover 5-50 pound instead . they be both great product , vastly superior to the rubber band for p90x -lrb- which be ok as a last resort , but free weight be much more challenging and provide a better workout -rrb- . if you plan on do less weight and more rep , then the 3-24 pound set may be appropriate . +294 Dumbbell POS 4 go to goo gle and type in `` shake weight for man review '' choose the second one under amazon which be world of diet . a small word on use both male and female version of this product if you can not figure out how to find the report . while the woman 's version may be only 2.5 pound it cause resistance measure of 32.5 pound . do the math the male version of 5 pound provide 65 pound of resistance . you be not get the full range of motion you would from a dumbbell but what you be get be 3 time the effect in the shorter motion result in better toning than muscle mass . for everyone that be injure it be because you be treat it like a 5 pound weight . there be spring within this thing that cause the resistance measure to hit up to 32.5 to 65 pound when you shake it . treat it like the resistance machine you find at a gym , that line do not weight 100 pound but through resistance it sure as heck can feel like it and give you the same benefit . that be say its the company fault for not appropriately designate the actual resistance this thing cause . again its simulation review not perform by real people but simulation be use in everything these day and the company have a very accurate simulation from what I can tell . be careful when use this product and by all means start out slow until you positive you can use this without get injure . oh and do not forget to stretch before and after like you suppose to else you will get injure as with any work out equipment . eat healthier and stay away from fake butters\/margine , whole grain\/wheat , corn , banana , fast food , and believe it or not orange juice will cause you to gain weight . you will lose weight and build muscle but do not rely on any one thing to get you to where you want to be . like other have say if you want to really get into shape use this in combination with other thing or wait until you endurance be up to the 3-4 time a day thing . slowly pace yourself and you will get there . +985 Dumbbell POS 5 I receive the Shake Weight for a Easter gift . I have be work with it every morning for about a week - be careful with the single arm exercise , as some other customer have warn to do , and I can see a difference in my arm already . the 6-minute work-out do produce a fairly deep burn feeling in my arm muscle , but I have notice that I recover much better while I be take collagen : Bovine Collagen , 120 capsule most of the complaint I have read about the Shake Weight would probably be eradicate if a user view the video instruction , which come with the Shake Weight , before attempt to use the weight . it require practice but the Weight do work - if you do . +290 Dumbbell NEG 1 buy it , watch dvd , do exercise with dvd on , 6 min. , now typing with one finger on my left hand -lrb- I be a righty -rrb- , have surgery on Monday to repair damage cause by this product . cost of product = = = = = -rrb- $ 20.00 , cost of operation , loss of wages , 6 week recovery period = = = = = -rrb- $ 23,000 and count !!!!!!!! I be a register nurse , in excellent health , exercise on elliptical trainer regularly , be able to follow direction to the letter , and STILL get a very serious and costly injury directly related to the use of this product . my job be to educate my patient on the use of various product to maintain they health and well be and I feel this product fail terribly in it be education to the user . there be the standard disclosure to check with you doctor before start any exercise program but they fall short when it come to actual use of the product . I have since find out that you should never begin exercise of you upper body with this much weight initially and a gradual increase to allow you muscle to build up be absolutely require for all exercise program . the Shake Weight do not allow for gradual increase and due to this it be a dangerous and potentially harmful product . I , for one , will be follow up on it be continue presence in the marketplace and will hopefully have it remove from the marketplace to prevent further costly and painful problem to the consumer . nurse educate but we also protect the public safety and I feel it be necessary for I to step up to the plate and see to it that a product that be injurious to the consumer be remove from public consumption . +253 Dumbbell POS 5 I do my research on this item as well as the Bowflex similar item . this be by far better !! they be easy to exchange down to 2.5 lb to fine tune the ideal weight you need to maximize you workout . not many move part so less chance of a failure . $ 100 cheaper for these compare to Bowflex and a far better product , go figure !! +292 Dumbbell POS 5 I know it seem silly to pay this much for a stand but here 's why I think this be a must-have item if you own 552 or 1090 . - function - I have the 552 set of dumbbell and this stand support they easily ; I have no doubt that the 1090 would be fine as well . overall , it feel sturdy so even when I place the dumbbell back a little harder than I should , it do not budge . you can also switch between stationary foot for improve stability or caster for improve portability . moreover , it be easier to change weight setting on the stand then it be on the floor . - design - visually , they look great on the stand ; they should since they be make just for this purpose . as part of a home gym , it look like a professional set up . - injury prevention - rather than have to bend over to pick up the weight , they be at waist level with this stand . this should prevent lower back pain , or even worse , like cause a injury that will prevent you from work out . back injury can last a long time . - durability - the stand be make of quality material . it should last as long as the dumbbell , which I hope will be the last set I buy in my lifetime . - recommendation - if you own bowflex 552 or 1090 , buy this stand ! +703 Dumbbell POS 4 I love the sturdy , compact nature of these dumbbell . what a novel idea . they be easy to change and store nicely . the only problem I have , be when I receive they . I purchase they for my husband as a gift and they be deliver in box label with the contents . unfortunately , my husband be the one to bring they in . I be more than disappoint with Amazon . all in all the product be great ! excite for the result . +54 Dumbbell NEG 1 yes , it may say `` dumbbell '' and not `` dumbbell . '' I read & order too quickly . however , the Valeo be sell as a set for the same price . Order those ! sad about my mistake and Cap 's marketing of this item . I will order the other dumbbell as return this one would be expensive . but , this will be my last Cap purchase indeed . +237 Dumbbell NEG 2 the shake weight produce a slight burn after you use it , but it should not replace a dumbell set . man and woman would have toner and stronger arm if they invest they money and effort into a set of dumbell . even just a pair of dumbell at a comfortable weight allow you to do more excercise than the shake weight due to the shake weight limited motion . I beleive the majority of the people that rate this item so high be because they have never actually use a pair of dumbell before in they life , thus they think the shake weight be a effective piece of equipment , which be really be not . however , use the shake weight be better than do nothing at all , and minimal result be better than no result at all . +175 Dumbbell POS 5 Enough have be say about the assembly . I think the assembly be pretty straight forward . it can only go together one way ... it help if you have some real tool , but not necessary . anyway , my initial concern be whether this product would work with dumbbell other than the Bowflex . the answer be ... probably . Mine be not a bowflex product , they be 55 # generic set of adjustable dumbbell . the base they sit on be larger than the platform of this stand . this stand have a platform that be curve at the edge to support the bf product . what I do be line the platform with some of that `` non-slip '' padding use in silverware drawer and under rug . I layer it so the base of my dumbbell rest on it , and then use the include strap to tighten my dumbbell down . it work great and hold they perfectly . I totally recommend this product . +928 Dumbbell POS 4 excite to receive the Shake weight that my husband order . I like it . Easy to use and very portable , I can take it anywhere . I like the fact that I can just pick it up while watch tv and not even notice it . +351 Dumbbell POS 5 I really like these weight . you do have to press the handle down to change the weight on carpet , but I 'll take that over have multiple set of weight that take up 5x the space any day . I have not have problem with the pins\/magnets that other have mention and I have be use they for several week . +743 Dumbbell NEG 1 I order four of these . for starter , the handle on the weight have metal shard so watch out or you 'll get cut . as soon as I realize this I take they out to the shop and wrap the handle heavily with duct tape . this will work ok but I certainly do not expect that from what be suppose to be a finish fitness product . also , one of the dumbbell have a loose end . one of the hex head slip up and down about a quarter inch . since it be not worth the trouble to pack these back up and ship they , I 'll just count this one as a live and learn . should have just go down to my local store for this one . +526 Dumbbell POS 5 for the price , you can not beat this rack . I shop around at numerous fitness store and could not find anything that come close to this product for the money . for under $ 100 ship , this be a great buy . pro - sturdy - I be use this for over 500lb of dumbbell and it be show no sign of flex . Easy to assemble - took maybe 30 minute with a socket set . assembly consist of connect 12 bolt , washer and nut . that be it . value - similar rack sell for over $ 200 -lrb- before shipping -rrb- . con - none really , although there be a few minor scratch -lrb- it could be packed better -rrb- and the logo sticker be not apply very carefully . overall , I be very happy with the purchase and can easily overlook a few minor cosmetic flaw for the price . +901 Dumbbell POS 4 the selecttech 552 stand be a sharp look piece of equipment and be easy to set up . do not let some review scare you ... if you can pick up a tool and look at a picture , you can put this together . a little pricey , however , consider what they charge for they dumbell . this stand should be include . +157 Dumbbell POS 5 I have a whole set of these , from 10 pounder to 45 pounder . they be a great fitness aid , as they be immensely portable and can be use in any room of the house , while watch tv , or next to you computer desk . there be a wealth of exercise one can do with simple dumbell : curl , bent rowing , overhead extension , etc. . if you have a bench , there be even more . believe it or not , a home body builder can get a pretty decent workout from a limited set of these dumbell . they be relatively cheap compare to other brand . I recommend they . Jim `` Konedog '' Koenig +862 Dumbbell NEG 1 this thing be complete junk . unless you be virtually incapacitate you will not get any resistance from it . it weigh literally a pound at the most . it make a god-awful annoying noise that you never hear on the infomercial . unless you upper body be so atrophied that you would have a hard time pick up a salt shaker , you be probably go to need a bit more resistance . and if you be go to waste you money on this thing , I would suggest you pick a good pair of ear plug too ! +625 Dumbbell NEG 1 after 2 month use the Shake Weight 3-4X \/ week I develop shoulder pain , first in one shoulder , then in the other . I discontinue use the product when the pain would not go away and then it start in the second shoulder as well . I be get physical therapy and see a orthopedic shoulder specialist in 1 week . I would not recommend the Shake Weight . +851 Dumbbell POS 4 purchase this with a set of 552 dumbbell on a black Friday special directly from Bowflex for around $ 280 ship . the stand require quite a bit of assembly and would have be easier with a second person . I have to remove the plastic end cap on the main bar to shake out some metal shaving the manufacturing process have leave rattle around inside . the tie-down strap have a plastic buckle exactly where they meet the corner of the dumbbell base-plate , which make it a little awkward , but it work . other than that , however , it be very sturdy , with good balance and I have no doubt it will survive many year of abuse . I be fairly proficient at home-assembly job and frequently accomplish task the manufacturer say require two people without assistance . I do not really have any major trouble while assemble these and the whole process take about 30 minute . there be a few time during the assembly process where hold two component together while align the bolt and nut to hold they together be a little difficult , and a second pair of hand would have be useful . tighten the bolt with the supply hex wrench take a bit of hand strength . I use a standard adjustable wrench to grip the nut instead of the recommend ratchet and socket , and there be a few bolt in tight place that would not permit you to turn the adjustable wrench which mean you have to rely on the short hex wrench to provide the torque in these situation -lrb- most notably when install the dumbbell plate on the top -rrb- . there be also a few place where tighten bolt early could make it more difficult for you to align another piece -lrb- specifically the back-plate -rrb- . I recommend you insert all of the bolt for a given step into they correct position -lrb- and only hand-tighten the nut -rrb- before you use the wrench to cinch they down -lrb- this be true for most similar assembly job , though -rrb- . this assembly job will be very easy if you have a partner to help you and you use a ratchet and socket -lrb- 9\/16 -rrb- as the instruction recommend . they should have remove the metal junk from inside the primary tube before they put the end cap on , and they assembly process could have be a little bit easier , but the quality of the assemble stand be very , very good . +20 Dumbbell NEG 1 I purchase a shake weight online and the company sell all my information to herbal life . herbal life call I about once a week since I purchase the shake weight ask I to buy pill , etc. . if I have know that the company that sell shake weight do that I would not have give my phone number to be harass nor would I have buy the item . I have ask nicely and also very sternly ; yet they still continue to call . nothing be worth what I be go thru . yes , the product work fine -lrb- thus the one star -rrb- +223 Dumbbell POS 5 the product work . I like it because it be not as boring as just lift . but I would check out the official website and pay they price , you will save $ 60.00 +565 Dumbbell POS 5 they arrive in the mail as advertise , and it be a good dumbell as any . Easy grip , soft material , and it weigh what it should . I -lrb- 3 working with weight , and this be perfect for my physique . +420 Dumbbell NEU 3 I buy this in late September -lrb- month and a half ago -rrb- , have not use it a lot but it make I start ache really fast . I have discover though , it you keep go for about 10 minute the ach go away and from then on I do not really get more wear out , I just keep go and go and get bore after 20 minute . the thing that really bug I about it be how noisy it be , the air contain in the bellows on each end have to go somewhere so there be a little hole in each one that make the air hiss rather loud at the end of each stroke . +800 Dumbbell POS 4 my hubby ask for the Shake weight dumbbell , to add to he `` weight be '' collection ... it come as promise , on time and he love it . I try it for about 2 min and my arm be sore ! defiantly work . : o -rrb- +523 Dumbbell POS 5 Great stand - perfect hight to accommodate any size user -lrb- I have to bend down only very slightly , and the include dvd help you know how to lift they safely . -rrb- and make for a nice display piece , and a great way to keep you dumbbell safe and off the floor . +832 Dumbbell POS 5 just like the other , this dumbbell be solidly build , and it feel very even in you hand . the design that keep it from roll be very beneficial , since you can put it pretty much anywhere that will support the weight . I think this be a good weight to start with , as it be a simple way to break into strength training without be too difficult . it be a particularly nice dumbbell for curl too . overall , I be very happy with my purchase . +905 Dumbbell NEG 1 this product be horrible . it do not do a darn thing other than make the fat in you arm jiggle . I try this product accord to instruction for several week and see absolutely no improvement . as a woman in my 20 's who spend three year as a personal trainer , this thing be useless . buy a set of 5 pound weight . you 'll save money and actually get result . +546 Dumbbell NEG 1 this be one of the few bad order I have have with Amazon . arrive in cardboard box contain the shake weight loose and the original retail packaging fold up and along side the weight . the counterweight or mechanism be break so the whole thing have to be return . Amazon have excellent return policy and be only one bad incident after year of very very happy shopping experience with Amazon +322 Dumbbell POS 5 after laugh at the commercial , I decide after read the review to give it a shot . seem to work and quickly ! I even have a friend or two try it ... one of they a workout fanatic and all we be impressed ! +99 Dumbbell POS 4 solid , balanced dumbbell . allow I to cancel my gym membership and and work out at home . I have never be a fitness buff so I be not suggest this replace a gym , but for I it be great . I can pop off a couple set in the morning , couple more set at night during a commercial break , do a set of pushup to mix it up , etc. . it add up . one minor ding , fleck of paint have chip off when the end of the dumbbell touch during a workout , which be a little annoying if you be do overhead press , but I be assume that will stop as the paint wear off . I read one review that a dumbbell crack apart during a workout . these be cast metal piece that have be weld together , the odds be low but it be possible , so I do not let they strike together too hard when I be exercise . +164 Dumbbell NEG 2 when you look at the video it look like the shake weight be do the rebound and you be just hold it but its not you be do all of the up and down movement if you stop move it stop +483 Dumbbell POS 5 not a full workout on its own , but this be a fun , quick addition to a exist routine . the dvd routine it come with only take about 5 minute to do , which mean even a couch potato can run through it several time a day , during a commercial break , while wait for that big file to download , or the coffee to finish brewing . the quick workout also mean there be no excuse . even if you be run a bit late in the morning ... what be 5 minute more ? Forgot , and it be bedtime ? so what ? it 'll only take 5 minute . I keep mine at hand at make a point of use it in spare moment . it have the disadvantage of only come in the one weight , but there be a little compensation in that the intensity of the exercise be affect by the rate at which you shake it . a gentle shake provide a gentle workout , and more vigorous shake give a little tougher workout . not for those look for a real workout , but well worth it for a little boost to a exist workout , or for woman look for a little extra toning . +866 Dumbbell POS 5 this beat all other rack hand down for the size and price . very sturdy and fit all dumb bell 5 - 45 pound . +208 Dumbbell POS 4 nothing fancy , but these will definitely get the job do . the best part of the deal be the very reasonable shipping charge for the pair . +837 Dumbbell POS 4 I like this product because it offer exactly what I be look for : better tone arm . pro : + it be inexpensive . this be not overly expensive and be a single unit . yes , weight be cheaper as a single unit but you 'll need more the stronger you get . + six minute workout . this come with a six minute workout that will kick you butt the first time you use it . it be not the most entertaining disc in the world , but it be effective . + both my wife and I can use it because it be up to the individual as to how hard you want to work . I can shake it harder and faster , while she be weaker so she do not use it as vigorously . + can go on trip with you . because it be a singe unit you can take it anywhere . con : - no chance to increase weight . it would be nice if the end detach to change out the weight . - only work you arm . if you be look for a total body workout this be not it . - it be somewhat noisy . I would not do this during a orchestra concert , but it be not horrible . if you spouse be `` sensitive , '' though , you might want to try something different . this be a pretty good product . I like it a lot and it be increase my arm muscle mass . it do not work miracle , but what exercise product do ? +854 Dumbbell POS 5 this weight set be both easy to use and excellent industrial design . I have use this set work with a personal trainer . when I decide to buy my own set , this be the top choice . reasonably price too . +677 Dumbbell POS 5 this be a superb product . first - unfortunately Amazon do not have the best deal . you can get it at target or Walmart for $ 20 . that be say , this be easy to do at work - I be able to pick it up and use it while I be read or do other thing that would not require my hand . like the commercial say the difference for this weight be that it be use small muscle unlike weight lifting that bulk up you arm . if you have trouble with neck or shoulder you may want to use caution with some of the exercise just like you would if you go to the gym . do a exercise you have not do before should be do with caution and if not do properly could result in a injury . this would be unlikely with the shaker weight but in my opinion anything 's possible . also note-this do not shake on it be own - that be the point of this product that you use you muscle to make it shake . there be review on here that give poor rating because they think it be motorized or something - well , I would say if you do not want to work out and actually use you muscle then you can save yourself $ 20 and do not buy this product : -rrb- it be a great invention and the science behind it make sense . I have see result and I recommend it to all my friend and coworker . +806 Dumbbell POS 5 excellent and a must for anyone that have the Bowflex dumbbell . however , I still feel this should come include with the $ 600.00 dumbbell . Bowflex be cheap cheap cheap ... and blood sucker . but the stand be excellent and a must have ... if not you back be go to pay everytime you bend down to pick up the weight . and yes I be fully aware of the proper way to squat and lift weight , but this be just a pain after a 1-1 .5 hour workout . +993 Dumbbell POS 4 after receive the Shake Weight Dumbbell my arm be sore , but not so much that I could not continue use the shake weight . I believe that this product can work if you stick to the 6 minute work out every day . pro : short Exercise ease of use con : look ridiculous +911 Dumbbell POS 5 I like this dumbbell even my kid sart work with it . you can workout while you be watch you tv or talk toyor family nice color combination +488 Dumbbell POS 5 everything about this purchase have be please . the price be better than I find in local store . the packaging be surprisingly sound . it be receive without any ding , or chip . I like the straight handle , as oppose to the ergo handle . -lrb- this be probably just a personal preference . -rrb- though the dumbbell be not rubber coated , most of the exercise I perform be unilateral so the dumbbell rarely touch . if I be to purchase dumbbell for bench press I would consider a rubberized weight . -lrb- Though , again , cost would probably keep I from do so . -rrb- this weight be ideal for home use ; bicep curl , tricep extension , overhead press , lunge , door stop ... though I visit the local gym on a regular basis I love have the option to do smaller workout at home . +386 Dumbbell NEG 2 from the commercial it look like it run on battery and the resistance be from hold it still ... but Noooo . it be completely manually operate . I be too lazy to use this shake weight . +528 Dumbbell POS 5 I really enjoy use this 20 lb dumbbell for exercise in my home ... as a former collegiate athlete , I appreciate high quality equipment , diverse use , and affordable price -lrb- although I be willing to pay more for a higher quality product if it be prove -rrb- . I will definitely use this company in the future for dumbbell purchase ! a bonus be that it be under the Prime program ! +147 Dumbbell POS 5 i order two 4lb dumbbell . i use they 3x a week to do arm exercise . they work for I and i like the neoprene coating . +459 Dumbbell POS 5 the set be very good for a family , multip choice , good color ! we would like to share this set and information with friend . +387 Dumbbell POS 5 I orginially buy this for my son who keep say how much he want it . . he love and as do i. . I use it just as much as he do . thank you ! +876 Dumbbell NEG 2 if you be look to get a workout , this be not the product to buy . it do not work , do not waste you money ! +637 Dumbbell POS 5 I have some neck and back issue . I find this weight easy to use . you can shake it at you speed , fast or slow . build muscle back up . the 30 min video have a decent range of motion and will help stretch you out . it do make you sweat and a couple of the movement on the 30 min video be harder to do . it will teach you some balance and coordination as you use it , because you shake and move at the same time . you do not just sit and shake it LOL . to be effective ... it have a 6 min upper body video and a 30 min video that be for total body movement . it combine shake weight move with traditional move . alternate 6 min easy daily video with 30 min -lrb- 3 time a week -rrb- and a walking or other activity routine would be optimal . you should also watch what you eat . shake a weight will not help you reach you goal alone . but I feel this be worth the money . I have see they range btwn 15 and 20 buck . they also have one be various color now . it be a useful and relatively easy tool to have for re-strengthing yourself and get off the couch . +332 Dumbbell POS 5 not much to say really . the price be definitely reasonable and to have it ship right to the front door be nice . when I need heavier one , I will come back here . : -rrb- +123 Dumbbell NEG 1 not what i order . instead of the men shake weight i be send the woman shake weight . there be a big diffeeence +91 Dumbbell POS 5 -lrb- 1 -rrb- the price be right , I check other source and Amazon be the best . -lrb- 2 -rrb- delivery be as promise -lrb- 3 -rrb- the product be as advertise -lrb- 4 -rrb- it only take a maximum of less than 10 minute , and you feel like you have have a full upper body workout . -lrb- 5 -rrb- it take a little get use to , but real soon , you be do it like the instructor demonstrate on the dvd . +402 Dumbbell POS 5 I love mine . a lady over 70 show I she arm from use this and she arm look great . my arm be much improve by what little I have be use it - 2 or 3 time a week . I be work on get in shape and I be use it at least 5 time a week and I be see rapid improvement . as for it appear `` suggestive '' - I think the same thing on the infomercial . but who care if you get result . +957 Dumbbell POS 4 I be not sure if it be really do a ton of good but i continue to use it along with my regular weight . I think for some of the exercise you really need to be balanced , so have something in the other hand seem better to I . hopefully in the next couple of week I will see some result . I would recommend this product , but as I say have some thing in the other have be a plus . +794 Dumbbell POS 5 after buy this product for my roommate , I be able to share it as well . my take be that the shake weight be not really mean to bulk up you arm or really tone you out . this be just a good purchase in the sense of its quality because it be not make cheaply . in term of effectiveness , it be more to tone up you arm before you go out at night on that date or to the club . it do work out you arm but do not expect this to replace gym weight but more so supplement it . +954 Dumbbell POS 5 I receive this stand free with my dumbell . the stand be well build and be a usefull addition to my work out room . the stand be easy to assemble . so easy that my 14 year old child assemble it with out my help in less time than it take for I to take a shower . the only thing I would like to see different on this stand be I would like it to be about 10 inch taller . I be over 6 foot and the stand while still very usable be a bit on the short side . it should be the perfect size if you be in the 5 foot range . still be a bit shour it be much better than store the weight on the floor . the wheel make it nice to move it around when I want to vacuum or just have it out of the way . +572 Dumbbell POS 5 I have have this apex weight rack for several year . it be hold up remarkably well and get lot 's of use . I be a personal trainer and have the rack in my basement studio . the problem be ... we move a couple of year ago and the mover lose one of the rubber foot . I have a new cork floor in the new studio and would really like to get a replacement rubber foot . do anyone know where I can get one ? I can not even seem to find the paperwork for a part list or a contact phone number for apex to order one . thanks . +260 Dumbbell NEG 1 this be a joke . it do not move smoothly . there be no `` weight '' to it . I do believe my large tomato juice can do the exact same thing as this . . and be heavier . if this work for someone . . congratulation . however . . buy a $ 1.25 can of juice . . and save some money for better result if `` tone '' arm be what you search . +83 Dumbbell POS 5 I pick up the Shake Weight at a target store while I be stay over the holiday at a hotel and the fitness center have close . I want to do some kind of workout in my spare time and the price , though a little high , a little over $ 30 after tax , seem in line . I be not sure what to expect base on the vary review I have read here , but from the very first use , I could tell it be a quality item and could immediately feel that this isometric type of exercise would be beneficial . it be . in two word : it work . it be seemingly well make , easy to use , and the dvd demonstrate several different way of use it . what they show on the tv ad be also accurate : after do this exercise for even five minute , you will `` feel the burn , '' as they say , and , in fact , I feel it throughout not only my upper body , but my lower body as well . it also seem to tone you stomach and ab and definitely give you a great workout for you upper body . this should not be you only source of exercise , but for quick , at home , or on the road , use , it be a great product - and probably have make its creator a multi-millionaire by now . you can not wrong with it . and , what be more , it be surprisingly lightweight - I be able to fit it easily into my suitcase - which make it a great workout product to take with you on the road . I highly recommend this product . I once buy a small rowing device year ago - and it still work well 25 year later . I have a feeling this product will also last . there be no battery . and it seem to be both well build and safe to use . you get a fine workout from it - a great augment to you other training workout . +426 Dumbbell NEU 3 I buy the rack after read the very positive review here . after receive it after about a week with free shipping , I be excite and unpacked it only to find that it be very poorly package and it arrive with 4-5 hole in the outer box . I find the package with the hardware for assembly -lrb- intend to be vacuum seal -rrb- be rip and open . because of the 4-5 hole in the outer box several piece of hardware be miss -lrb- that otherwise might have just be roll around inside -rrb- . I call Apex customer service -lrb- the company be actually call `` MPEX '' -rrb- and the girl on the line be very matter of fact - unapologetic - and tell I they would ship the miss part within 10 business day . REALLY - 10 day ?! for miss hardware that could be cheaply and easily send at least via priority mail - to accommodate a customer b\/c of the poor packaging of they product in the first place ?! oh no - when I question she about get the part sooner she get defensive , and ONLY then offer a insincere apology for the inconvenience and assert it take 10 business day for the part and I would have to wait - there be nothing else they could do , she say . REALLY ?! or I could return it to the store and get a new one send -lrb- i.e. , Amazon -rrb- - yeah that be a easy option once the thing be unboxed ! I be optimistic about the build quality have see it now in person , but very frustrated with the poor quality packaging - horrible customer service - and now have to wait 10-14 day further -lrb- if you include weekend -rrb- to even assembly the rack . not a good start !!! I be trust all the positive review on the product itself - once I get the necessary part and get the thing assemble . +304 Dumbbell POS 5 these weight be easy to use and be great for people with small hand . Great for add weight to lunge , squat , deadlift , chest , and shoulder exercise . I be a petite woman and I use they with my younger brother as well . I be consider the bigger one for my husband . he still get good use out of these . +791 Dumbbell POS 5 I get this for one of my grandson 's for Christmas . he have be look at they at Walmart , he mother say . I like yours better than the Walmart one and I think it be a little cheaper . he seem to like it . it be heavy !! I think woman use these too for they arm . ship be fast and it be pack well . thanks . +410 Dumbbell POS 5 I purchase these dumbbell fairly recently because I want to use they for Chalean Extreme -lrb- you can check out the program at Beachbody dot com -rrb- . I have be lift weight for several year , but have mostly be do high-rep , low-weight workout -lrb- to give you a idea , the heaviest dumbbell I own be eight pound -rrb- . because I want a variety of weight and have very little room , I decide to get a set of adjustable dumbbell . I do quite a bit of research on all the various brand before I decide on the PowerBlocks . so far , I be really please with my purchase ! these dumbbell be easy to use , feel very balanced , and take up very little room . the only bad thing about they be that they be fairly expensive . however , if you add up the cost of buy a pair of dumbbell for eight different weight -lrb- 3 , 6 , 9 , 12 , 15 , 18 , 21 , and 24 lb -rrb- , the price seem much more reasonable . +425 Dumbbell POS 5 I love this stand and the dumbbell . I read the review and be prepare for the worst assembly ever , however , I open the instruction book to the diagram page and have the whole thing together within 60 minute . the only thing I have to do be check the three set of four bolt for the proper length and assembly be a breeze . have read a few of the review may have be of help . one thing about the stand be I use the dumbbell on a more regular basis because of it . I think the quality be second to none and recommend this set to everyone . Amazon pull though with three day delivery when I only order standard shipping . I love this company . +564 Dumbbell POS 5 this be a real easy exercise to follow and it be helpful for the upper body . +130 Dumbbell NEG 1 this thing be a huge disappointment . after the initial silliness of play with it , it be not a practical device that anyone would use , and I do not know if anyone else have this problem but with two week the spring come loose inside and the whole thing literally fall apart in my hand . not worth the money -lrb- even as a joke -rrb- to buy something that fall apart so quickly . poorly make and customer service be horrible to deal with . the joke be on anyone who buy this . if you give they you money , that be you problem . +28 Dumbbell POS 4 I buy the shake weight after watch they on the doctor . I buy two of they so I could use they for more resistance while work out , they be very nice to have sit around in my kitchen because while I be cooking I can use they at the same time . by switch hand as you work around the house you can give you self a workout while do other everyday task or you can take the time to watch the video and follow it . these be great for a low impact workout . +379 Dumbbell POS 4 I receive the Shake Weight dumbbell in good condition . have the dvd be helpful . still can not figure out how to do ` side to side ' which the video do not show ... BUT take this on my vacation in my suitcase and actually use it a few time ! Fair price for the product . +306 Dumbbell POS 4 after use it for a week , I have notice a definite improvement in my muscle development . it take a lot of energy to shake this item . well , my muscle be sore . for mature individual who be wheelchair bind like I , I recommend this as a additional aid for exercise . I find the shaker very useful and the total price with free shipping the best reason to get it . +987 Dumbbell POS 4 ... there be no question , this type of all-in-one adjustable multi-weight dumbbell be extremely attractive in term of save you space and money versus buy several set of fixed-weight dumbbell , and save you the tedium and time of change plate on conventional dumbbell even if you use those tension spring-clip . however , do not expect perfection ... the inevitable downside be that the double-pin mechanism use to change the weight on these powerblock can itself be a little tricky at time . definitely not ideal if you be into high-intensity training -lrb- multiple set at different weight level without any rest period in between each set -rrb- . in fact I prefer the change mechanism on the Bowflex dumbbell though as the other reviewer have state , the Bowflex dumbbell be not only considerably more expensive but also have suspiciously flimsy design and build quality in comparison with these powerblock . so in a nutshell , if you have the space and money , I would still recommend spend the money and space to buy several set of hexagonal fixed dumbbell ... the speed and convenience be still far superior , especially for high-intensity workout . if you do not have the space and money to do that , and can not or do not want to go to a gym , then these powerblock be indeed the best available option I have ever come across . keep my finger cross that at some point in the future , technology will have evolve to create a truly quick and easy one-touch weight-adjusting mechanism ! +166 Dumbbell NEU 3 I buy this think that I be get two . for $ 11 and change you would think you be get two five pound dumbbell . I know these be good dumbbell since we already have a set of 3 's and 5 's . I be a big guy and we family have begin to workout to fitness dvd . I need my own hand weight so we can work out together . I be not go to use the baby 3 pound weight . I purchase the dumbbell and oop , only one . I start to think about buy a second , but opt to return it since it be still in the packaging . save you money and get a hand weight set . I pick up the Jillian hand weight set for $ 30 . the weight be better balanced . you can do pushup with they . they be very sturdy . no slip . plus they be pretty darn cool to look at . I be a biggest loser fan . plus they be in black . besides for have Jillian 's name on they they do not look girly . do not waste you money get two hand weight for $ 20 or so . get a set where you get two 3 's , two 5 's , and two 8 's for $ 30 . they come with a stand . that be the one bad review on they . because of all the weight the stand might be damage during delivery . my stand arrive in perfect condition but go into the purchase expect the stand to be crack on arrival . +527 Dumbbell POS 5 the shake weight be exactly what it be advertise to be if use the way it be mean to . many people say that it be not do anything for they and that be probably because they be not use it correctly . you be mean to barely move you arm while you shake the weight . my husband max out at 250 and when he get it on Xmas he use the shake weight for about 15-30 min and he arm be sore the next day . as long as use correctly you will get result . +406 Dumbbell POS 5 I have use the PowerBlock Classic for about 4 week now and I have to say I have not be disappoint . I purchase the set because I start with the p90x exercise routine and they require you to use a number of different weight to do it correctly . the PowerBlocks enable I to change weight quickly and keep up with the video instead of have to pause and change weight . the weight feel comfortable and solid when you be do you exercise . I wholeheartedly recommend these dumbbell . +359 Dumbbell POS 5 purchase this product for my home gym . be very pleased both with the quality and the ease of put it together . look good too . would highly recommend . +38 Dumbbell POS 4 I have be use this product for about a month now and I definitely get a decent work out each and every time . I have not make leap and bound as I be still develop form and technique due to the off shoot mechanic of the product . I immediately recognize two fault or area for improvement . the first fault be that my hand slip while use the product because the surface be too smooth . the second fault be that the work out dvd while effective be too short and basic . the product could be improve significantly by add some abrasive texture to the handle and extend the dvd to include a advanced work out or additional exercise . +492 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy this dumbbell set to use for Chalean Extreme and P90X , and it be a great investment ! I be definitely intimidate by the price but after research other adjustable set , like the Bowflex Selecttech weight and other cheaper alternative , I go ahead and buy the Powerblocks . and it be a good thing I do ! they be space-efficient , easy-to-use , and a good price consider what you be get . the design be a little funkier to use than traditional dumbbell , but you adjust you workout to it , and I hardly notice anymore after use it . I debate buy separate set of weight but the price of all those amount to roughly the price of the Powerblocks and would take up a immense amount of space in my compact living room . I be able to purchase these at my local sport goods store for about $ 160 which be cheaper than Amazon , so I suggest that you google and shop around in you area if you want to save some money . but I would definitely say if you be on the bubble about purchase these because you be throw off by the price , do it !!! if you be commit about get fit and strong , you will need a wide range of weight and these be the best value . if you only plan to apply work out and strength training to be a temporary thing instead of a lifestyle , then definitely save you money and buy that one pair of 5 pound neoprene dumbbell . +799 Dumbbell NEU 3 from read previous review I be dread the assembly of this stand . to my surprise , the instruction be clear and easy to follow and I have the stand put together in just under a hour . after assembly the stand I notice the stand be very sturdy and well build . I take my Bowflex SelectTech 552 weight out of the holder and place the holder in the stand . upon do so the holder do not fit right in the stand . they be a bit to wide and long . to fix this I use a hand towel and a adjustable wrench . place the hand towel over the rear edge , I use the pliers to bed they back and inch or so . its important to do the rear edge because the front one hold all the weight . they dont fit perfectly but they do now fit in the stand . overall I be very happy with the strength and look of the stand but wish it would have take no modifying . +765 Dumbbell NEU 3 still put rack together . just need to tighten bolt and put on end cap . I really want to keep it but the smell be awful . it have to be toxic because it make my eye water and my lip burn . I have to wear two mask up to this point . I can not even step back into the room because the noxious smell have overtake it . will let it air out overnight . if it be still there will be return it . . although I do not want to ... it be nice . . of adequate size and well build . however , I can not keep it if this cheap paint -lrb- prob from China -rrb- make I ill . three star because of odor ... would like to give ot five , though . Update : okay three day later ... complete assembly and leave window open all weekend the smell be almost go and I be look forward to use this unit . . quality product . I really would have prefer to paint this thing myself than to purchase a product with toxic paint . otherwise it really would have deserve five star . Update 7.25.11 three week later ... have to send back . fume from paint cause my lip and face to burn . must be a very toxic finish material . since this unit be in a room that I will be excersize in not safe long term . sad ... because I really like it . +297 Dumbbell POS 5 the economical answer to bow-flex ... and not make of plastic . I have have mine for five year now with no problem . have work in sport goods in my past I can tell you that steel be better than plastic . +238 Dumbbell POS 5 Came in box with hardware neatly place in shrinkwrap attach to card . no miss part . put together with one 5\/8 inch socket wrench -lrb- for each of the 12 bolt with nut\/washer pair , and one rubber mallet -lrb- tap on each of 4 rubber foot -rrb- . take ten minute . item be make well . large metal piece each neatly tape in bubble wrap . sturdy and attractive ! I have , besides a few regular dumbell , the bowflex selecttech system , and each dumbbell sit on a flat base . I be go to place , on the top row of this rack , each SelectTech base longwise -lrb- parallel -rrb- and wrap a 2 foot -lrb- actually about 22 inch -rrb- velcro strap to hold each base tightly . this apex rack will allow I to store the SelectTech dumbbell as well as all my soloflex strap and several other dumbbell for less than the cost of , and in a more space-efficent way , than the awkwardly design overpriced behemoth selecttech rack that cost about $ 150 . total first rate bargain ; very satisfied customer ! +215 Dumbbell POS 5 Powerblock Classic 5-45 set work great when you have the stand . I finish p90x with it , it be all I need in the weight dept. . I recommend get the stand . it be a bit cumbersome to change weight setting if you sit these weight on the carpet , whereas on a hard surface , it be a simple and quick change . with the routine I have be do , you need to quickly change the weight sometimes , and with the stand , the weight be at a comfortable height , just perfect . without the stand , change weight setting be a chore . +870 Dumbbell POS 5 I love my shake weight ! honestly one of the best -lrb- and quickest -rrb- upper body workout I have ever use !

I prefer the classic aa design , where CA not you find aa ? I have use one of these on my belt for about four year . it be a excellent tool , and I have never have one wear out on I . the bulb , however , be the Achilles heel . the rest of the flashlight be military , police and trade quality , for civilian price . but these dang bulb go orange after a couple week and last a couple month of casual use . I be consider shell out forty buck for a small led , just to save the money on bulb . then , walk through a sport outlet , I pass the flashlight section . and next to the usual Mini mag with holster , which I own close to six of , be a Nite ize accessory design for this same flashlight . a lead bulb . now , I have see these online for about twenty to thirty buck , and this be a ten dollar flashlight ! but this one just sit around on a shelf be eight buck , about a buck less than the flashlight 's shelf price . what the heck , I get one . to quote another review , my trusty old mag be now a state-of-the-art torch , with nearly triple battery life of the old bulb . and led , as all mag-hater know , do not burn out or even go out when bump . so , for a total of twenty buck , you get a american-quality led beam that compete and plain out whip fifty-dollar import with plastic casing . I would not recomend this flashlight if there be not there be a way to fix its biggest flaw . just get you hand on this led adapter , and put it in like you would the standard bulb . replace the mirror reflector , and stomp the old bulb into powder . you will not be need they , ever again . there be also a combo pack availiable , for the same price , that include a push-button adapter if you have ever wish you could tap a red button on the end instead of twist it on and off . I have not try it , but it come with the LED , and for eight buck ? and hey , the flashlight itself come in six different color . these thing be easily replace if one get bang up or you room-mate\/girlfriend draw all over it with sharpie while she be on the phone .

I I usually carry this flashlight on my belt -lrb- under my clothes -rrb- in the nylon sheath it come with . many , many time the head twist make the light come on . it be after a few hour that I notice . it be a waste of battery . the head should not twist so easily as it do . if you do not plan on carry it in the sheath then this should not be a issue , still maglite should solve this problem . other than that , this flashlight be excellent and the quality and material be superb and it be make in usa . for the price , it be worth every penny . +776 Flashlight POS 5 I get 14 year of service from my first rechargeable mag light -lrb- include the rechargeable battery -rrb- . +202 Flashlight POS 4 there be a lot go on within the technology of flashlight recently .

I must say -lrb- before I get a bunch of negative vote -rrb- that I have own 20 or 30 mag over my work career . and the product be very durable and they be prove reliable . but for the money , I have find that surefire offer a more powerful beam of light . Surefire be lighter too . I have have to depend on my MagLight many time but I have switch to SureFire . it be the 21st Century . John Row +555 Flashlight POS 5 at first glance , I think these bracket be go to be cheap and flimsy . they be quite the contrary . they hold my flashlight with a Kung Fu GI Joe grip !

I keep one in in each of my car for my wife and daughter , and give a extra one to my daughter who live alone in the city . she love it for check out thing that go bump in the night . she say it light up the backyard or hallway like daylight . and I have several cop friend who have buy one base upon use mine . +593 Flashlight POS 4 I use this item several time to look around in my computer case -lrb- and many other computer case -rrb- when little to no light be available . this little extremely portable light do the job just fine . I really so no other use for it as the mini maglight be small enough for almost any job . +813 Flashlight POS 5 bracket work perfectly and do they job well . they hold my d cell maglite tightly and seem to be very well construct . great product for a low price . +325 Flashlight POS 5 we live in a southeastern U.S. city that lose power a few time a year , due to nor'easter s , severe thunderstorm , tropical storm , you name it . I keep a hurricane kit with a couple lantern flashlight and a few of THESE . -lrb- and oh how I wish Maglite would come out with a lantern-type flashlight that balance on a tabletop very easily -rrb- . just this week , we be without power for two day -- and I go to target and buy two new maglite to supplement the three I already have . the weight and heft of these can not be beat . dh work night , so it be just I and my 6yo dd at night . I keep one of these under the kitchen counter at all time . as I like to say -- it be part flashlight , part weapon . the electricity come back on a few hour ago , and the first thing I do be carefully put the Maglites back in the hurricane kit in the hall closet . of course , I put one back under the kitchen counter . then I come here to Amazon to order some replacement bulb for the hurricane kit . I do not like sit in the dark , so I need to be ready for the next outage . just want to be sure the replacement bulb be in the house when we need they . oh , and as evidence of how much I trust Maglite -- I keep a mini mag in my purse . Friends scoff , until that flashlight guide we through a very dark parking lot in the middle of a nature camp where we be attend a scrapbook convention ! small maglite make awesome stock stuffer . I 'll be send dd off to college with a couple of these one day -- one to keep in she dorm room in case of emergency , and one to keep in she car . +984 Flashlight POS 5 this light have be awesome but after one year the battery suddenly be Dead . the replacement be around 22.00 so I guess in the scheme of expense , it be be overall a good deal . it be brighter that any maglite I have have +109 Flashlight POS 5 this maglite be a heavy duty baton when fully load with the 6 \* d cell battery . the beam be as to be expect for a conventional incandescent bulb . it be not as powerful , nor as long lasting , as the lead model now on the market . it be price perfectly though . the construction have not change much over the year . these be make , and warranty , to last a lifetime . +634 Flashlight POS 5 I finally have to buy another 4d maglite and figure I would put up a review . I be give one of these as a gift 26 year ago and it finally fail -- but it be not the light itself it be the battery . somehow the battery expand in the tube and they would not come out . I do not see any corrosion , though . the light function , but it be a bit dim so I be just put in a fresh set . I do not get the complaint about brightness I read here . Mine be plenty bright enough for everything I ever need it for and in fact I find it amusing to turn one of these on around most other flashlight because it literally would make it look they the other one be not even on . very bright white light . also do not get the need for led over this type of bulb . nothing against LED light but the three thing great about LED light be the battery life be longer -lrb- because of less power consumption -rrb- , they be brighter -lrb- usually -rrb- , and the led be suppose to last essentially forever . well , I never have a problem with battery life , brightness or bulb life . I never even use the spare bulb in 26 year . some highlight : \* Battery life be unbelievable -- a set will easily last 2 or more year -lrb- depend on use of course -rrb- . other flashlight I have have must drain the battery even when off because I have never see such long battery time from other light . in 26 year I never pick this up and find a dead light even after month and month of non-use . I only replace the battery when I be unhappy with the light output . \* the spare bulb be nice , but I never have to use it since the original one last 26 year . \* the adjustable beam be very nice -- flood light mode or focus mode with continuous adjustment by turn the head . \* very durable -- water resistant , mud resistant , sand resistant ; great build quality . I have it in water , mud , and sand over the year with no problem . also drop it a couple of time onto cement and asphalt and no problem -lrb- enough impact to dent the metal -rrb- \* comfortable -- with the 4d size you can rest the handle on you shoulder which make it very easy to hold -lrb- when look under the hood of a car for example -rrb- . the 3d can not do this because it be just too short . \* Distance -- be always impress by the distance this thing illuminate . the box on the new one say 256 meter and I believe it . \* value -- still can get these for under 20 at you local box store or on Amazon . \* defense -- sound funny , but this thing could certainly double as a impromptu weapon . when you hold it with the handle rest on you shoulder you have excellent light , plus it be in the `` swing '' position . not only that but you can be sure that if you have to use it as a weapon that it would not break at all . +573 Flashlight POS 5 this be a nice , sturdy , flashlight in a metal casing . it have a nice bright beam and fit easily into a drawer . it be a definite improvement over the cheap plastic flashlight that I have . Amazon have it at a good price . I recommend . +183 Flashlight POS 5 this be a great flashlight . the size , feel and performance all scream `` big buck '' and then you discover that this little beauty cost about as much as two grande latte at Starbucks . I have one in each car and they have come in handy look for street sign , house address and map reading . last Christmas , I give everyone in my department they own Mini mag Lite . I can not tell you how many time they have come and tell I how handy they have prove to be . when you have throw away you last broken plastic , make in a place you can not spell or pronounce junk flashlight , go and get one of these baby . you will smile . really ! +552 Flashlight NEU 3 I buy this for a family member for he birthday , and have have a chance to try it out a few time since . it be a good flashlight , do not get I wrong . but as a general home or bedside flashlight , there be much better choice . in the first place , it be not cheap . you can get a very good 4 D-Cell Maglite for less than 1\/4 of the price . I have one next to my bed , and I love it . regular d-cell last a astonishingly long time . it be highly probably that the money you would save on battery with the rechargeable would not make up for the difference in price in less than about a decade . second , this flashlight be not that bright . it be fine for just locate thing in the dark , but if you have any pretension about use this flashlight as part of you home-security and defense plan , then you really want something brighter . I carry a small surefire e2e in my pocket every day , and it be about twice as bright as this rechargeable mag . if you really do want a rechargeable flashlight for home use , consider spend a bit more on model make by Surefire or Streamlight . they be brighter and have better battery life -- although you 'll pay through the nose for it . if you do not want to spend that much , a 3 or 4 d-cell maglite will still be one of the best flashlight you 'll ever own . +716 Flashlight POS 5 I buy this maglite to carry around in my messenger bag for ... misc illumination I guess . I be also impress with the sturdy feel of Maglites and these be no exception . waterproof and quite rugged . the bulb be bright and run very well with the two AAA battery . extremely easy to replace bulb and the fact that you can carry a spare bulb in the cap mean there be always one handy in case of emergency . +557 Flashlight NEU 3 in the last decade , people have be root for this small flashlight that be always consider to be cool , with it be aircraft aluminum ` armor ' , and bright beam . this thing be once consider to be more popular than a lightsaber . these quality stand to this day and should be consider should you buy this as a gift or lighting tool for someone . it be strong reach beam fire a fair distance in spot mode , and a moderately effective flood mode light up a room quite nicely . now , with these kudos , there be some thing to keep in mind when buy this light : unless you get silver\/puter or light blue , this black knight can be easily lose in the dark if you do not have it on . also , the fact that it be a heavy duty metal do not help it be chance from a fairly tall fall . this thing be not shock absorbent . maybe it be case be , but it be innards be not . and to top it all off , this flashlight be more thirsty for battery than a 5 litre gas guzzle Mustang . after a good half hour , it dim a litte , but a little too soon . so , what do I recommend above the Mini mag ? two great recommendation : the Energizer double Barrel ` xenon ' flashlight , with it be great look , and better battery life . the xenon bulb be also brighter than the mag 's ` t-bulb ' . another great light be the Rayovac AA Industrial flashlight . now , this flashlight do not have the same distance reach as the Mini mag -lrb- in spot mode -rrb- since this light be build with a ` wide spot ' , that act like a super -lrb- and I mean super for a aa light -rrb- minus spot light , and maybe not at long distance , but at least for light up ... the WOODS ! I find this to be the best light for when you be lose in the wood . if you be one of those people who walk a lot at night , especially near any forest and wooded area , then the Rayovac AA Industrial light be the one-if you be not interested in a l.e.d light , which should be you first choice . you would probably think that a Rayovac AA flashlight would not be powerful enough for to light up the thick of the wood in the night and twenty foot in front of you ... well , guess again !! you would better get one and try it out . it be output be nearly as bright as a 2d maglite in flood mode . really ! I carry it everywhere with I -lrb- knapsack -rrb- . and mega shock resistant !! so , hat off to mag for a great run , and for make a cool and powerful light with a few self defeat fault . +385 Flashlight POS 5 Compact , sturdy and reliable . this little guy will never let you down . Great on battery too . +19 Flashlight POS 5 this lite be better than many other flash lite because of the switch ! -lrb- twist switch -rrb- . i get mine about 6 year ogo and use it alot !!! very heavy use ! its be turn on and off hundred of time and still work great ! i do have battery leak in it before they be dead ? do not know why they leak ? it have be drop many time . i do have to clean the switch from dirt and the leak battery . there be 2 way to clean the switch . first way be easy . you just turn off the reflector = candle mode . then you twist the top part that have the bulb in it . with the battery in will clean it most of the time . pressure from the spring push up on the battery make the switch contact . if that do not get it clean then what i do be take the battery out and remove the bulb then carefully pry up the bulb holder on both side at a 180 degree angle . it have 2 plastic post that friction fit . once apart clean the connector and underside lip so it will make contact . i have do this 2 time and reassemble with no problem . even flash lite that cost 10 time or more may not last like this minus mag because of the switch wear out or get dirty and not make contact . but most switch i see you can not clean they they do not come apart . also they be a different kind ot switch . i put in the 3 lead bulb and love it . battery last longer and it be a white lite . i have a $ 50.00 lead lite that be nice but allready after turn it on and off about 75 time i notice it be start to get worn . once and a while i have to push it 2 time to get it to come on . if you want a lite that will last this be the one !!! +887 Flashlight POS 5 great battery , seem to be more powerful than what originally come with flashlight , great purchase . i highly recommend much better than the original battery -lrb- must state that the original be 10 year old -rcb- +694 Flashlight POS 5 it be a AMAZING FLASHLIGHT for the size . it have the lite intensity of a ordinary twin d-cell fashlight and will LAST EVEN LONGER . the ABILITY to adjust the beam be fantastic and it be SMALL SIZE mean I can carry it with me constantly . high quality and value for the buck be it be BEST POINTS . +958 Flashlight POS 5 this flashlight be extremely strong enough to fight with it can be consider as a weapon . in fact i like it soo much as i buy this item and the black one also . recommend +458 Flashlight POS 5 maglite s2c016 black c cell flashlight , 2-c awesome !! +698 Flashlight POS 5 after have several other led flashlight all I can say be this one take the prize , and be the best I have find . it have all the battery and light life that you would expect from this technology with the build and focus-ability you would expect from mag . most other led flashlight be only good for close range situation , while this one do both close range and long range thanks to mag 's twist focus capability . so get this one , even if it be a couple of buck more . it be also nice that it be make in the USA . +142 Flashlight POS 4 this be the best flashlight I have ever get . its kinda expensive but well worth it . if u just want a throwaway flashlight get something else but if u want a `` keeper '' then buy this I have have drop it countless time and just abuse the heck out of it and it still work . +994 Flashlight POS 5 this item be the right size for the job and come with all the necessary accessory for both home and auto . I have use maglite product in the past and this be a keeper . +847 Flashlight POS 5 I be replace another one , which be identical to the maglite I be now purchase . the reason ? it be so good , my first one be steal ! seriously . we home be break into and my Maglite AA cell Mini Flashlight be steal , along with with many other article . I guess the thief really like it , too . I be so glad to have find a blue one here at a reasonable price ! I have also order replacement bulb for it at the same time . Maglite make teriffic flashlite . they be lightweight and very serviceable . the size of the beam can be adjust from very small , through medium , to much larger by twist the band around the head of the flashlight . I would highly recommend this flashlight -lrb- and all the other maglite product -rrb- . they be well make and will provide many year of relaible service , provide no one steal they ! +57 Flashlight POS 5 I have four set of these , three in car on one in we garage . I be tire of always have to search for my light which may be under the seat , in the glove box or roll around under the third row seat . I solve all that with these bracket . I have each mount horizontally under the steer wheel column just forward of my knee . once install , the light be out of the way but instantly accessible . the fourth pair hold a maglight in a vertical position next to the door in the garage so it be always in a fix location . Smart solution and installation take just minute . +403 Flashlight POS 5 get to the point . it be a great accessory to have . I own one in the past . I recently purchase another one through true value\/promax back on 11\/18\/09 . after I do not receive what I order by the estimate delivery date ,12 \/ 10\/09 I contact Promax and they tell I it be deliver on 12\/2\/09 via FEDEX . I be give the customer service number for FEDEX and when I call they , they tell I the package be deliver on 12\/3\/09 . I think I would save money by order the Maglite online , but instead I be rip off . a representative at Promax state that since my order be only $ 106.00 , they be no signature require and my package be leave at my front door . in that case , I would have do better by place the $ 106.00 on the porch with a sign that say , `` take I , I be FREE '' . the people at Promax be give I the run around in resolve this matter . I just want to inform other consumer on my experience Promax . I have call and leave message , and no one be return my call in regard to this issue . regardless of how much a item cost , there should be some alternative to make sure that we as consumer get what we pay for with we hard earn DOLLARS . thanks Promax , for show so much concern toward you customer , Joseph , who will never do business with you company again . what a rip off ! again , this item be a great accessory to have . I guess I will flag down a snap on Tool Truck to pay another $ 150.00 to get this great accessory in which I need it to perform my job . +782 Flashlight NEU 3 I get these for my Porter Cable pc18fl , a pivot head 18v flashlight . the original bulb be krypton . these be xenon so they burn considerably brighter and hotter than krypton . the problem be , they melt the plastic bulb holder in the flashlight . the bulb holder only cost 91 cent but good luck try to find someone who will ship for less than $ 10 . +298 Flashlight NEU 3 this be a cleverly design and well build product which will make a valuable addition to you tool box , provide you already have a couple DeWalt or B&D; 12v battery -lrb- they be interchangeable -rrb- . it would not make sense to buy a separate battery for it , as they cost about 2x as much as the light itself . these light be also make for other voltage , include 9.6 and 14.4 v. I compare this light to a 2-d cell magnalite which weigh about the same -lrb- 1.5 lb w\/battery . -rrb- as one would expect give the difference in voltage -lrb- 12v vs. 3v -rrb- , the DeWalt appear to be several time as bright as the Magnalite and have a beam 3-4x as wide . I only give the light three star because -lrb- 1 -rrb- it be overprice , even w \/ Amazon 's discount -lrb- 2 -rrb- replacement bulb be also expensive , although they do include a spare , and -lrb- 3 -rrb- you can not focus the beam - a wider `` flood '' beam would be preferable to the more intense spot for many application . if all you want be a general-purpose lantern , there be several 6v dry cell unit available which represent better value . however , this one will utilize you exist battery & charger , and with its solid base and tilt capability can be configure to illuminate the typical work site better than most of its competitor . +187 Flashlight POS 5 it ship fast , it be exactly what i expect do not relize it come with battery nice supprise , package well , the light be a true maglite flash light . its strong and will do what i need it to where i need it to +111 Flashlight POS 5 great flashlight , lead technology be the way to go nowadays as far as lifespan , vibration resistance , etc. . . MagLite have be my choice for many year as I grow up use these in my household . this have SOS strobe , low power function , etc. . . I do not really use that but it be cool if you do . +687 Flashlight NEG 1 this light work as advertise for a few day . a spare bulb , keep in the base , be improperly store , force too much pressure on the bottom of the battery , which eventually flatten the spring contact at the top of the battery . the result : once the bulb be properly stow , there be little or no contact between the battery & the spring contact at they top end . this be essentially the end of the light . this happen just after the expiration of the return period . I would not recommend this product . +103 Flashlight POS 5 maglite be always a good value . this purchase be a replacement for a similar one that be 12 year old . this package deal be nice in that you can charge in a vehicle or at home . my husband like these light , and use they both at home and work . there be no ambient light where we live , so a dark night be really dark . this flashlight be really nice when you have to put chain on you vehicle in the dark . it have a nice , bright , white light . they be waterproof -lrb- yes , they do sink -rrb- and have a heavy duty metal casing . these flashlight be the best value on the market . +737 Flashlight POS 5 experience coping with blackout lead I to experiment with lot of battery light -- fluorescent , lead , and conventional incandescent bulb . this 6 d-cell light provide the largest area and brightest illumination . here 's how I use it : I set it vertically so its beam bounce off white ceiling . I also use some handy household object as a base holder to keep it from tip . in the kitchen it provide enough light -lrb- while aim at the white ceiling -rrb- to prepare a simple meal use the gas stove -- and for wash dish afterward . later , in a 20 ' x 30 ' live room , it provide enough light bounce off the ceiling so that everyone could sit , talk , eat dinner , and see everyone else in the room . that be comforting & reassuring ! finally , in the bathroom & bedroom , this very bright light , aim at the white ceiling , provide enough illumination for showering and brushing tooth as well as allow two person to move around a bedroom without bump , stumble , or stub toe . +501 Flashlight POS 5 this Dewalt flashlight be very lightweight and simple & easy to use . Works with any Dewalt cordless battery , which supply a weighted base to stand on any flat surface . the actual light pivot a full 360 degree . +188 Flashlight POS 5 good , strong light , especially when concentrated via the adjustable lens . much more powerful than traditional flashlight i have around the house , and a good price . adjust the focal length , though , seem to inadvertently unscrew the piece below unless you specifically hold they tightly in place , so now i set it at the most focused setting and leave it there . +261 Flashlight POS 5 if the NCAA sanction a intercollegiate sport call Cranky Light Sleeper , my wife would be the division I national champion . meanwhile , I be the guy who need to chill and read for a while before drift off to sleep , maybe even have a chat ... and they say we guy be not relational . much to my surprise , the athletic prodigy who sleep beside I offer just a few day ago that I might want to ` read with a flashlight ' and that this would not meaningfully interrupt she nocturnal ambition . would not you know , I be prepared . the Mini mag Lite be ideal for clandestine bedtime reading \* and \* auto glove compartment . those be the two application where I have a Mini mag standing by . the thing put out great light and allow you to focus the beam by turn the uppermost portion of the flashlight . it have the survivability of a cockroach in a nuclear winter . it be compact and have a nifty little soft carry case , though I have never see the virtue of that . a great buy . +611 Flashlight POS 5 I carry a aa mini-mag I have a 3-d cell in EACH car and a 2 6-d cell in the HOUSE one upstairs and one by the front door for self defence . +82 Flashlight NEU 3 this be a rare time when the traditional version be better than the lead version . this mag 2xaa lead flashlight have a flash mode feature that start after the light have be on for a while . the light make a ok child 's toy , but it can not be use as a tool . the mag 3xaa lead and d-cell lead flashlight without this `` special feature '' work great . the 2xaa led be a hopeless mess , even after stretch the spring and do the fix other buyer suggest . even the non-led traditional mag Krypton can be use as a dependable tool . ultimately , I suggest buy the 3xaa lead or a different brand . 1-star rating as a tool . 5-star rating as a child 's toy average rating = 3-star +184 Flashlight POS 5 i use every day and feel this be the only lite i need to do my job +48 Flashlight POS 5 this product be one of those rare instance when perfection be nearly achieve . its primary purpose as a light source , and a adjustable one at that , be well know and without equal . the quality be impeccable , and that law enforcement officer utilize they , be a testament to they reliability . however to minimize this marvel of engineering to a source of portable light , be to commit a injustice . like many item that have become the very definition of they product niche , they original task , become one use amongst many . joggers\/runners\/walkers : we have all see the aforementioned progress down the street carry a stick to ward off any overly enthusiastic , allegedly domesticate , pet . now other than throw say stick in the hope the quadruped in question will chase it , I do not think it will deter a Doberman , Ratweiler , or pit bull . with the likelihood of have one swipe at self-defense , on the off chance you connect , unlike a stick , this will get they attention . if two be carry , you can save the cost of those bag of buckshot that serve as weight when velcroe around the wrist . one reviewer , -lrb- a friend -rrb- , mention how `` cute '' the tiniest of these be . no argument here . however , in the event of a assailant , anything larger than a Gerbil , and you be out of luck . but unlike those pouch people have be wear around they waist , which if I may digress , be the ugliest blast appendage , get you self a snazzy o-ring . you will be on the cut edge of fashion well before the Chanel version appear in `` Cosmo '' . and as far as utility , the next time a officer of the law approach you car , notice what he or she carry , and how he or she carry it . oh yeah , that be why they have they out during broad daylight ! for the Gardeners out there , no more run back for the hammer when a tomato stake need attention . for the Winter Sportsman or woman , this will come in handy when head out to you ice fishing shack and you find a layer of ice over you fishing hole . one swing and you do , just keep a firm grip , as they do not exactly give these away . Doorstop , ice-pick replacement , and signal safety light , the use be limit only by you ingenuity . if these be any more effective , there would be a 3-day wait period to buy one . +583 Flashlight POS 5 this holder be great to have on you belt ! you never know when you might have to have you maglite with ya !!! +104 Flashlight NEU 3 if you have already get the battery from the Dewalt 12-volt drill , it make sense to get the flashlight . I get this for a good price and it function as you would expect a flashlight to . nothing too fancy -- decent level of brightness . I be not real fond of the function of the pivot head -- you have to turn the head clockwise to hit specific pivot point , at which you would need to adjust the direction the flashlight be point in -lrb- as oppose to just ratch up and down on the same plane as I have experience on other brand like the Porter Cable -rrb- . it be not a problem but it be not the best design out there . again , if you want to make the most use of you battery , there be not a whole lot of option . +909 Flashlight POS 5 love these flashlight , I have a rechargeable -- I lose it , leave it on the hood of a car . ok dumb you be right . I have all of the component just need the flashlight . can I buy the flashlight only ? will it cost the same as the whole kit ? please if anyone can tell I if this be available . thank you !

I be very skeptical due to the bad review . but I be sick of my flashlight not be available at the garage door where I originally place the clip . so I plunk down my money , re-install the bracket and now very carefully -lrb- know how they will break again -rrb- put my maglite in place and remove just as carefully . Buyer beware but still a useful tool . +618 Flashlight NEG 2 I have own at least 5 maglite and especially like the minus mag but with all of the maglite I have have the same problem : suddenly they do not work . when I take the battery out and put new one in , they still do not work . if I change the bulb they still do not work . it seem that they be very touchy about the way they be put back together . they have to have the spring situate just right among other thing . I can not believe that other people do not have the same problem I do . my boyfriend just spend 30 minute cursing , try to replace battery and\/or bulb without any luck . we now have 3 Maglites sit around as piece of art rather than useful illuminating item . help ! what be we do wrong ? +912 Flashlight POS 4 this have be we `` worst case '' flashlight for many year . it usually get use when commercial power have fail , or a tree have fall , or a car have decide it be not move from the driveway or street ... or when something go bump in the night and maybe you want something in you hand that be a little more substantial than just you hand . iconic aluminum body that stand the test of time . with all that say , the light for this flashlight be almost quaint . in fact , it be quaint , and anytime I see a a incandescent bulb with a filament in a flashlight , I have to worry about something I do not have to worry about led : the bulb burn out . clearly there be better lighting-only choice available with current led technology . but sometimes in the dark , you might need more than a beam of light to help ease you mind . Select as much for its mass and length as for its candlepower : - -rrb- +923 Flashlight POS 4 for freak $ 16 you can not beat this 4d maglight ! I want a 3d maglight , but at the time it be twice the price as the 4d , it be kinda weird that it be that much more expensive , but I be very happy I get the 4d light ! now even though I love all Maglights and everyone else do too . . I gotta give it 4 Stars because of the actual light they put out . . everyone that have a maglite . or look for a maglight , you have to buy a drop in lead to go into you maglite . you will open you light and feel how big this light be , it be a big size without be Ridiculously Big . this be not something that you would openly carry at all time or on you person often , but this be something that you could store in you car or House and you would have a great weapon \/ light . . this be a big size but not crazy , it be big enough so that you would be able to actually hurt someone with this light . it be a great size to use as a Baton , and with it be 4D Batteries Installed , it be be no question that you could bust someone pretty hard , maybe break bone or crack skull in the process . -lrb- which be all very dangerous , and very illegal unless it be self defense , protect yourself , family , or property . . -rrb- but , if you be use this as a good big flashlight , you have to spend $ 10 - $ 15 on a drop in LED Upgrade for the light . . you will be very happy at the benefit of the $ 10 - $ 15 led over the stock bulb . . I go ahead and buy a Terralux Drop in LED and I be very piss when I find out that it would not fit into my light ... I do not know if it will fit most 3-4d maglight , and it just would not fit a certain year or model , but it would not fit into my 4d Maglight UNTIL , I take a Knife and start shave down sliver of the metal off of the inner circle Lamp Retaining Cap piece that Screws on Top of the unit -lrb- it screw the bulb unit into the flashlight to hold it in place -rrb- -lrb- it be a good thing that it be a Easy fix , it be just that the little retain piece do not fit over a tiny part of the Original Bulb Unit -rrb- the New LED Unit be a wider piece overall , so when you try and screw it onto the light , the Hole on Top be not wide Enough to screw over the New LED Bulb Unit , but by shave the Inner Circle out for a little bit , you can make the hole on the Retaining Cap Piece just big Enough to fit over the New Unit , and it will fit over and screw it down into the Llight , and it will still be able to fit over the Original Bulb Unit if you ever have to switch back ... !! so it be kind of a Quick fix to the Drop in LED , but you will be very happy when you screw you light together and turn on you flashlight , you will see a huge difference with the New LED compare to the original bulb . . so finally : this 4d maglight be a awesome light , the Weight and size be both pro and con . . it be big and heavy Enough that you will not carry this flashlight with you everywhere , and you will not probably use this light as you primary light either ... but . . you will Love this light and the amount of light that you get when you upgrade to a New LED , even as a Weapon for self defense , or home defense , it can be you main flashlight in you home or car but it be just too big to randomly carry it around . . get upgrade led for you Maglites and you will Love you Maglites even better !! 4 star , but 5 star with the Extra Drop in LED ... +67 Flashlight POS 5 this be my third LED Maglite . my family and friend keep sneak off with they because they be so useful and bright . I keep my LED Maglite in my messenger bag at all time . I like to be prepare , and this flashlight be very compact . the flashlight casing be 100 % aluminum . it definitely feel solid , and can survive a nasty drop or two ... or six ... or twenty . the lens be slightly recess and be plastic , but it have not crack on I yet . the lead itself be not replaceable like other non-led maglite bulb - but LEDs last thousand of hour longer than traditional bulb . I would not worry about need to replace it . if there be a problem , Maglite provide a limited lifetime warranty . the beam be surprisingly powerful . I have be able to see thing more than 150 foot away with ease with this little flashlight . I have not have a need\/opportunity to test it at longer distance , but it can allegedly cast light up to about 300 foot . there be also four mode - high-power beam , low-power beam , strobe , and SOS . I have not really need the last two mode , but I find myself switch between high and low-power on a regular basis , depend on what I be do . Bottom Line : - extremely durable . - extremely bright , especially consider it be small size . - four different mode . - limited Lifetime Warranty . +860 Flashlight POS 5 you will be happy to know that the Mag-Lite Rechargeable flashlight system now come with a spare lamp in the tailcap , at no extra charge to the consumer ! there have also be a few improvement make to the Halogen lamp which have increase the brightness by 33 % and have increase the on-time by 33 % ! a great mag-lite make even better ! +219 Flashlight POS 5 use this mount system for my 3d cell maglite and work perfect . alignment be key to have a proper mount . the clip be tight and hold the maglite without slide or movement . +257 Flashlight POS 5 a quality build flashlight make here in the USA . at a great price , from Amazon with free shipping . will not be lose or misplace this one with the size that make it easy to find when store under the car seat . with the 6 d-cell the light be very bright , and should provide good light after be store for a length of time . I highly recommend this mag-lite . MAGLITE S6D016 Heavy-Duty 6-D cell flashlight +885 Flashlight POS 5 I buy several of these as gift for the guy at work . they be a great small size flashlight . +87 Flashlight POS 4 First off , greatest flashlight , not only be it bright but it could hypothetically be use to beat -lrb- up -rrb- a burgler , who would be blind by its light ... the mount cradle have a nice easy-in - but firm-holding mechanism , so you just slap it in , but have to use a good level of leverage when you remove it . it do not come with a extra bulb in the base of light , like many mag do . and , the bulb be not the normal maglight battery , it be a differnt connector and voltage -lrb- 6v -rrb- . I drop mine , which kill my bulb , so I then buy two bulb for it and put one in the spare compartment under the battery spring in the base , where a spare should belong upon purchase . my recommendation be that you buy the extra bulb before you need it , and put it in the base . it really be great to have this flashlight mount in my storage room always there for I . I would eventually like to get a 2nd to mount in my car for safety etc , and find a good place to mount it -lrb- it come with 12volt car plug adapter too -rrb- . +916 Flashlight NEG 2 Poor quality plastic bracket . not up to mag light standard . +888 Flashlight POS 5 to start , I be a tradesman who have to carry he lifeline on he belt . not only on the job , but I be also the unnofficial handyman of this apartment complex . every time I even move to take my workbelt off , it seem to be a signal for a neighbor to bang on the wall say something be on fire or will not open all the way . and the Mini mag be the universal flashlight . it be sell everywhere , include this fine site and even family store , and despite its legendary quality and design , be at the most ten dollar with include holster . I prefer the classic aa design , where CA not you find aa ? I have use one of these on my belt for about four year . it be a excellent tool , and I have never have one wear out on I . the bulb , however , be the Achilles heel . the rest of the flashlight be military , police and trade quality , for civilian price . but these dang bulb go orange after a couple week and last a couple month of casual use . I be consider shell out forty buck for a small led , just to save the money on bulb . then , walk through a sport outlet , I pass the flashlight section . and next to the usual Mini mag with holster , which I own close to six of , be a Nite ize accessory design for this same flashlight . a lead bulb . now , I have see these online for about twenty to thirty buck , and this be a ten dollar flashlight ! but this one just sit around on a shelf be eight buck , about a buck less than the flashlight 's shelf price . what the heck , I get one . to quote another review , my trusty old mag be now a state-of-the-art torch , with nearly triple battery life of the old bulb . and led , as all mag-hater know , do not burn out or even go out when bump . so , for a total of twenty buck , you get a american-quality led beam that compete and plain out whip fifty-dollar import with plastic casing . I would not recomend this flashlight if there be not there be a way to fix its biggest flaw . just get you hand on this led adapter , and put it in like you would the standard bulb . replace the mirror reflector , and stomp the old bulb into powder . you will not be need they , ever again . there be also a combo pack availiable , for the same price , that include a push-button adapter if you have ever wish you could tap a red button on the end instead of twist it on and off . I have not try it , but it come with the LED , and for eight buck ? and hey , the flashlight itself come in six different color . these thing be easily replace if one get bang up or you room-mate\/girlfriend draw all over it with sharpie while she be on the phone . I have have these work perfectly even they have be through Hades and back , but some prefer a more formal-looking flashlight . just take the lead out and put it in the new one , those bulb last forever . and now , so will this flashlight . +622 Flashlight POS 4 few flashlight will grab more attention than a 6d cell maglite . it be 20 '' long and weigh well over 3 lb with battery . as allude in other review , this really gun for the guy instinct . it be exaggerated and give the same feeling as see the volume go to 11 -lrb- a la spinal tap -rrb- . ever since I first see one on display 20 year ago , I have want it -lrb- but have to settle for a Mini-Mag -rrb- . of course , as a Maglite , it live up to they reputation of be virtually indestructable and a good substitute for a baseball bat . however , in light of recent innovation in led technology , it do not have as much practical value . as one would expect with a 6d -lrb- 9 volt -rrb- light , it be one that can signal satellite . when I first see it , it be brighter than anything else , at least operating from standard battery . 20 year later , it still use the same technology , albeit with the availability of the Xenon `` mag-num '' bulb , which add 23 % brightness -lrb- per Maglite 's web site -rrb- . other technology have emerge that make this beast show its age , especially the so-called `` tactical '' light , some of which be smaller than a mini-mag , but brighter than the 6d . do not get I wrong . it be tough as nail and extraordinarily bright . but , the 3d cell maglite with the led upgrade put out a comparable amount of light , while consume only half the battery and be 40 % smaller . as of this writing -lrb- 7\/2007 -rrb- , there be no led upgrade bulb available from Maglite , save the 4d cell version , use with 2 dummy d-cell -lrb- why ? -rrb- third-party vendor have some good one , but they be either dimmer or do not focus . one even cost $ 75 + -lrb- for a $ 25 chassis -rrb- . one company boast its upgrade bulb will yield 140 lumen ; for comparison , the mag claim the 6d cell with the Xenon bulb yield 218 lumen . if Maglite be to put a lead upgrade for this light out on par with the 3d cell led upgrade , it would make this light incredibly bright and I would also give this the full five Stars . Bottom Line : if you must have a gi-normous flashlight that be well-engineered and virtually indestrctable , this be the one for you . I have one and love it , but truthfully , it be more of a novelty that satisfy some primal yearning inside of I . for emergency and everyday use , I have strategically located maglite 3d and min-mag , all lead , around the house . UPDATE : I get this 7\/17\/2007 from mag 's customer service about the 5-6 cell led upgrade : `` we do not plan on make a lead for the 5 or 6 cell light because the volume be too small to justify the tooling cost . led be voltage sensitive and if use in the wrong size light will either reduce the overall life of the lamp or blow it out . you can also purchase a battery spacer \/ dummy battery and use we 4 cell led module , model # sh34dcw6j . '' +944 Flashlight POS 5 it have the expect Maglite quality . I give this product five star . my wife be very happy with it and with the service provide by the vendor , whatever its name be . +956 Flashlight POS 5 this light be pretty siick ... i buy it bcuz i be go to camp in like 2 week ... and i hear that mag-light be a good brand so i decide to get this ... it look nice and the light be a nice white beam +270 Flashlight POS 5 these mag light be great as they pierce even the darkest corner , thanks ! +838 Flashlight NEG 1 I have my 3aa lead Mini Maglight disappear around 2 week ago - it be a fine flashlight , for sure ! I be quite mad at the kid that borrow it . I still need a flashlight for work that be tough and reliable and of course my first choice be Maglight . at first when I see the 2aa maglight it be like I find the perfect flashlight - just buy it think it would last a lifetime or until I dump it into the ocean or river - happen more then once . get the first flash light home and happily open the package and install the battery ... totally dead , not even a flash . battery check good but , replace they anyway . no go , so I return the flashlight . this be not a typical maglight issue - a trust manufacturer in my opinion - so I go to Lowes and buy a second one - it be actually cheaper then the first . I turn it on and it work perfectly for about 2 minute . it then start to do random thing like SOS and flash . replace the new battery with new - same thing . I go back to the store and return it intend to get a 3aa lead version of the maglight but , they be no longer available . so I try a 3rd 2aa lead flashlight - almost the same result as the second . I Google 'd my problem and find that Maglight have come up with a series of home repair and try they . no luck !!! flashlight be return with tear - for a fall hero . I end up with the old standard Xenon Mini Maglight and be look at a streamlight to replace the LED Maglight . yes , they be more expensive . : -lrb- +126 Flashlight NEU 3 I buy three of these . one be a gift , the other two be for I . I drop the first one and the head totally break at the joint . I think it be poorly make . I like use it , so I buy another .

I understand why so many people in Alaska or rural area and hunter use they . you can see for close to a mile with the 6 cell and I do not think I could carry anything larger . I feel very safe with it when I be out at night and at my farm . very much worth the money and I will probably be get a couple more . +340 Flashlight POS 5 sturdy , bright and well build . Maglight have a eye for quality . the 3c cell be a nice size . +206 Flashlight POS 4 this be a 3 watt 2 cell flashlight . I agree with the other review here . more light output than the normal 2 cell aa maglight could have be do better like a end cap that have either a on\/off switch or lanyard attachment so it could be hang in a room for area lighting . still work better than buy the conversion kit that Home Depot sell -lrb- it be junk -rrb- . I have purchase another lead flashlight a year ago by River Rock from target for less money and more light with equal quality . see the photo . the maglight be a good light and appear to be make in the USA . +437 Flashlight POS 5 I give this as a gift to a friend . he be happy and so be i. +303 Flashlight POS 5 the Dewalt bulb be the best out there . they be brighter than other flashlight bulb yet be very tough and can withstand be drop while on .

I highly recommend these mount clip for convenience & just wish they be make a little bit more heavy duty . +651 Flashlight POS 5 I buy this light mostly for work use , but I use it at home too . it have typical Maglite quality and a very useful holster . some of the reviewer do not like the fact that the holster have no velcro cover . I like this . the light slide in snugly and have easy access when I need it . the biggest plus be the fantastic beam .

Gotta love amazon ! +388 Flashlight POS 5 I buy this about 4 or 5 year ago and it be never let I down . it so rugged it can be use as a weapon if you need to defend yourself . it lay right next to I when I sleep . it really be heavy duty . +589 Flashlight NEU 3 I personally do not have one of these -lrb- although I have use other people 's -rrb- but have a lead 3d maglite . it make no sense to pay $ 20 for a antique incandescent 3d maglite when you can get a lead version right here on amazon for only $ 25 ! the led be brighter , around 10 time as energy efficient and have no filament to break from impact or turn it on and off a lot . the only reason to buy this old light be if you want to use it as a heater ! mag-lite st3d016 3-d cell lead flashlight , black +397 Flashlight POS 5 this be the greatest flashlight I have ever use . this have to be the brightest flashlight ever make . +543 Flashlight POS 5 it charge , it work , and it hold its charge . it be from Mag-Lite -lrb- Mag Instrument -rrb- . do it get any better ? +779 Flashlight POS 5 I have a Mini Maglite flashlight attach to my Leatherman Tool for may year . the back be lose on my old one a few week ago . I be glad that they be still available in that size . Amizon.com be the best . +241 Flashlight POS 4 before decide to post this review , I decide to look over the review that be already post . I notice that many reviewer complain about low-intensity light and the relatively short battery life . well , I can see where they be come from . if you want a flashlight to use day in and day out , on every night you go camping , or to frequently navigate through a dark house , then this be definitely \* not \* the flashlight for you . why do I like it so much ? let I tell you about where and how I use it , and you 'll understand . I have be camp since I be a kid . back when I start , those giant flashlight that run on those blocky 12-volt battery be common . I have a few of those . I also have plenty of those plastic flashlight that run on d-battery -lrb- now those be true battery hog -rrb- . in time , I learn about MagLites , and begin use various model . for a number of year , I think I have settle on the 2 aa Mini model . it certainly be a great flashlight , but I find I need a flashlight less and less . as that happen , I start look for a small light I could carry `` just in case '' -- and the MagLite Solitaire fit the bill . I have be carry one for year now . you see , when I first start camping , or even if the light go out at home , I feel I need a bright , powerful flashlight . over the year I have learn , however , that such bright light serve mainly to reset you night vision . only on the most overcast and moonless night do I ever find myself really need a flashlight -- or when someone drop they car key in the back yard at the end of a long night around the fire . even when in my tent , I find that have a smaller light work out really well . it I need it on , it be bright enough to let I see , but not so bright as to disturb my tentmate . in addition , its light weight and small size make it a ideal backcountry companion . it take up alomst no room in my pocket , and hang comfortably from a piece of paracord around my neck . like its larger cousin , the Solitaire let you adjust the beam , from a tight focus to a broader diffusion . as some have note , however , the low light output -lrb- 2 lumen -rrb- be such that many may not preceive much benefit . I do find the adjustment useful , however , use the broadest diffusion when use the light for general illumination in a small space or dark area , and focus the beam when I be really try to look at something in particular . also like its larger cousin , the Solitaire will operate with the lens end remove in what be call `` candle mode '' . use that way , you could place the solitaire on a flat surface and use it like you would a candle . here 's where it really do fail compare to its larger cousin , however . on those model , the lens end be larger than the diameter of the shaft\/handle , allow the lens end to be slipped onto the bottom like a base , give the candle-mode flashlight a wider base when stand it up . since the Solitairs be the same diameter along its entire length , that be not a option . when I use it in candle mode , it be typically to quickly illuminate most of the tent , and I just keep the lens end in my off hand . the solitair be small enough that I can tuck it in between my hat and my temple , too , free both of my hand when necessary -lrb- like when try to fix my glass -rrb- . - I keep one in my tackle box , as a convenient light when need to search for some bit of tackle at dusk or after nightfall . - when camping , with the help of a little clip or piece of string , you can hang the light from a gear loft or a clip in you tent , give you a quick and easy way to light a central area -lrb- to play card , for example -rrb- . - I keep one on my key ring when I travel , just in case I need a little light to check something under the hood . - when hike , I always carry one with I `` just in case '' , even if I start out during the day time . while some decry how dim the light be , you would be amaze by how easy it be to spot even the smallest light during the dark of night . besides , but this little light up against a clear -lrb- or light color -rrb- plastic water bottle will illuminate all the water in the bottle , allow you to create a more visible object if you need to get someone 's attention . - I never use the light for more than a few minute at a time , so I have never have a complaint about the battery life . in fact , I be very happy with the battery life , and the fact that I can keep the same battery in the light for month on end without it drain down to nothing . while it be always best to take the battery out when not use it for a long time , I have have they sit in the Solitaire for a full year and still kick out light when I need it . - they make great gift . my wife and three of my kid each have one , and they all find they useful . a MagLite Solitarie be a great tool to put on a new driver 's key ring . -lrb- even better be to pair it with a Victorinox Classic Swiss Army Knife ! -rrb- - keep one in the glove box -- the small size make it really easy to handle if you need to poke around under the dashboard to replace a fuse . - put one in a mini survival kit . it be small enough to fit into many mint tin alongside other survival gear -lrb- e.g. , hook , line , match , razor -rrb- . as note before , a small light in the dark can often be see from far away . besides , in a survival situation , that light can be use to attract fish by dangle it in the water ... +566 Flashlight POS 4 as always , very happy with any mag flashlight . much brighter than my old bulb base 2 aa minus maglite . I have read that some other brand be brighter , but it be plenty bright enough for I and I like the aluminum case that mag offer . +784 Flashlight POS 5 I buy this light for use here in Iraq , it fit perfectly in the Molle vest loop and have a nice bright light that have be use to blind unexpecting people in the night , when they do not comply . it be that bright . you can get brighter but not better . +279 Flashlight POS 5 my old 2-aa cell maglite finally stop work after 20 year due to battery that leak inside . after check flashlight forum and numerous review , I decide to stick with maglite and buy a new 2-aa cell model with a led light . it work as advertise , and all of my maglite accessory work perfectly with it . I be a happy customer and would replace it if lose or steal , and I 'll be more careful in the future with battery so I do not have any further problem . +278 Flashlight POS 5 this be a very fine flashlight . it put out a surprising amount of light for its size . the beam be adjustable from wide and diffuse to narrow and focus . you can also remove the lens and it become omnidirectional , perfect when you be in a tent . the holster keep it within reach at all time , instead of feel around on the ground in the dark for it . I use it a lot more than my larger maglight for just this reason . the battery last a lot longer than in other brand of small flashlight , and you get considerably more light as well . a must own for any outdoors fan , and a bargain as well . +180 Flashlight POS 5 the Maglite collection be the best you can buy for you money ! this minimag w \/ lead be a `` steal '' ! I be more than satisfied w \/ my purchase and will buy another one soon ! +349 Flashlight POS 4 the flashlight be brilliant , literally . once it be charge for the first time it be unreal . and for occasional or rare usage it be extremely practical . but , if you use it for several hour a day , you may find that it take too long to get a full charge back into the battery . in fact , the only chance you can get it to fully charge be over the weekend . two battery ? how can you charge the spare battery pack when it have to be in the flashlight -lrb- which have to be in the charger -rrb- to recharge ? mag Instruments be apparently work on the problem , but to this date they do not have a rapid charger , or a charge cradle for a battery pack only . you could of course buy 2 flashlight and use they on alternate day . rather expensive though . +586 Flashlight POS 5 have be use Maglite flashlight for year , they be tough , resilient and a very good value . now if I would just stop lose they ! +294 Flashlight POS 5 I just get this aa Mini Maglite package with a 3d lead mag at Home Depot . I be look for the 3d when I find this 2 pac . man be I glad I do . this aa minus mag be FANTASTIC for a small light . I compare it side by side with a TERRALUX Lightstar 220 , rate at , you guess it , 220 lumen . unbelievable ! I aim each light at the top of a 30 ft. tree , about 100 ft. away . both light illuminate the tree top , but the Mini mag really define the branch clearly . the Terralux just kind of light up the area at the top of the tree . this Mini mag have a Cree XPE # 106 bulb in it and be far superior to the upgrade lead bulb available at Amazon for under $ 9.00 . if you have a old Mini mag , that be a good upgrade to extend battery life . do Yourself a Favor and buy the latest version aa Mini Mag as well . you will not be sorry ! the only thing that I do not care for be the extra mode . besides the 2 brightness level , there be 2 Blinky mode . one just blink on and off , the other emit a Mores Code SOS . I would rather just have 2 light level mode that I could switch back and forth . I also would like a tail switch so I do not have to fool with the focus every time I turn it on . maybe I 'll look for the tail switch replacement that someone else mention . I still rate it 5 star because it be a fantastic light . the only reason that I do not buy this light on Amazon be because I be not really look for a new Mini mag . I could not find the the 3d with the 131 luman rating that I be look for on Amazon . like I say , the add bonus of this aa Mini be a unexpected surprise ! bluwolf +985 Flashlight POS 5 I recieve the mag charger as a birthday present , worth every penny , very bright , very tough , recharge be so easy thanks to the charge cradle supply ... Mine pay for itself the first time the power go out . the battery pack with a full 16 hour charge last around 2 hour -lrb- constant on -rrb- ... the only `` complaint '' be the adjustment of the bulb -lrb- you have to center it yourself but be really not a big issue . +290 Flashlight POS 4 a little bit bigger than i expect , that be the reason why i be give it 4 star +253 Flashlight POS 5 we have be buy these Maglite Mini flashlight for quite a while . I have yet to try they lead version , but for now these work perfectly for I . I know that the LED one be supposedly much better , but at this price point , I have a very hard time pass these up . we probably must have about 3 or 4 of these around we home , and I personally keep 1 in every toolbag or toolbox . with the cheap price of these you can have one in every room and anywhere else you can think of . you also have a wide variety of color to choose from , but I stick to the modest , classic black annodized . I know that this be just a review for a simple flashlight , but I believe maglite to be the best , and I hope this review help . +292 Flashlight POS 5 this light put out about 200 lumen , it be much brighter than any of the surefire 2 cell light such as the e2e , etc -lrb- which start out at 60 lumen and then drop off as you use they -rrb- . it also do not eat expensive lithium battery -lrb- at anywhere from 1.50 to 4 buck per battery -rrb- . Surefire make 3 and 4 cell and even 6 cell -lrb- lithium -rrb- which be brighter , but again you be feed they expensive lithium cell . of course , this be a old technology light that be as big as a club and heavy , BUT IT 's BRIGHT and run for 2 hour on a charge -lrb- by then you would have spend 10-20 buck on battery feed a surefire -rrb- . the new Magchargers have a spare bulb in the tail , and be much brighter than any of the alkaline d cell maglite -lrb- those be all very dim , or get dim after half a hour -rrb- . it be a great general purpose light , you just can not put it in you pocket . +703 Flashlight POS 4 buy these a while back and get the two-pack for about 8 buck . I have both a DeWalt 18v and a Ryobi 18v flashlight . both take the same bulb , and these DeWalt xenon bulb be bright and hold up pretty well to shock and vibration -lrb- I have drop both light more than once and the bulb -- as well as both of the flashlight -- can take a reasonably good beating -rrb- . but recently I have find the same bulb -lrb- look like same manufacturer , too -rrb- brand under the Craftsman name at both Sears and OSH -lrb- for those of you in California -rrb- sell for $ 1.49 each . lot easier to find one there when you need it in a hurry . +54 Flashlight POS 5 this be a great thing to have at night ! I make trip to many warehouse transport store item to building locate in area of the city inhabit by undesirable people that you have to be wary about . this help I light up area where I be head to , and in my hand , it look like a club for beat people with . that because it be very handy for beat people up with . I havent have to beat anyone with it yet , but the scoundrel stay away from I as if they take offense to the way I hold my flashlight . it look like a club in my hand . +237 Flashlight POS 5 Gotta say hand down this be probably the most love flashlight i have ever have . it shine super bright but illumination isnt the real reason anyone would or should buy this . its a excellent security tool . in all state this should be legal as it be classify as a illumination device untill use otherwise . and its excellent when use as other purpose the only con i have be that the endcap be not metal , i dunno why when the rest of the flashlight be superstrong aluminum and the endcap be some sort of plastic im guess . its not so much a bad thing as just a annoyance . i havent have it break nor expect it to but i would of really like that part to be metal as well . edit : contact the company , they assure I it be indeed metal endcap . sorry for the confusion +175 Flashlight POS 5 I have be use these same light for 12 year now . the aa one be waterproof to about 30 foot or so -lrb- the o-ring keep the seal airtight -rrb- . I do not know if maglite support that use though : -rrb- I use they not only as light , but to prop door open , hammer small nail . these thing be tough ! keep one in the car . one in the kitchen . one in the bedroom . one in the toolbox . one at work . helpful hint : lightly grease the o ring with vaseline or other petroleum jelly occasionally -lrb- wipe off excess -rrb- . this keep the seal watertight , and make the light work like new . take off head of flashlight , and examine the bulb -lrb- not light ! -rrb- - after a while they get burn on the inside - replace occasionally to maintain maximum illumination ! replacement bulb be cheap ! get some ! I use these a lot ! consider use nimh rechargeable battery . +928 Flashlight POS 4 there must be some kind of mistake , either mine or Amazon 's -lrb- guess which one I suspect it be ?? -rrb- . anyway , despite the title , the follow review refer to the 2aa light , not the 3aa . I have never even see , much less touch , the 3aa version of the Maglite 3 watt lead flashlight . this be what a lead flashlight should be : tough , durable , convenient , versatile , small , lightweight , with super-bright light . if you want one of those powerful led flashlight with a blinding light , this be it , and at a reasonable -lrb- for a lead flashlight -rrb- price . I really like this one and it be be use alongside all those big , 4-d battery lantern sit around . but be careful : you can get a powerful , blinding light Xenon 4-d cell lantern for half the price of this beauty . be you sure that the small size be worth the extra $ $ $ ? nevertheless , this flashlight have several problem . the size of a cigar , it be a little big to be something you can stick into you pants pocket on a daily basis -lrb- but it do come with a dandy nylon sheath with a belt loop -rrb- . it do give powerful light , but this suck out the battery juice real fast ; the package say nothing and I have not do a total battery drain test , but it be unlikely that you will get much more than 2 hour of light . it have a feature where you can adjust the light beam from focus to diffuse light , but it be pretty lame -lrb- the light be a hot spot in the middle with a rather large halo typical of 4-d big lens lantern ; the adjustment just extinguish the hot spot -rrb- . you can also remove the head assembly entirely for a ` candle ' mode ; this do give good area light , but you can not look directly at the light bulb , so it can not really double as a lantern . it do not have a dual drain feature ; it would be nice to have a switch that can give much reduce light but give much longer battery life , so this thing be not much use as a emergency tool . here , you will get traditional maglite quality . a solid piece of machined aluminum and a lead bulb that will never burn out . you can expect a solid lifetime of good use and abuse . so , outside of the occasional battery change , you will be able to hand this down to you grandchild ; assume , of course , that a ` friend ' do not ` accidentally ' borrow it or you lose it . Postscript : I have now come to regret buy this . it be very bright , but not anymore so than other ' 1 watt ' one . for a few $ $ $ more , I could have get a Maglite regular 4-d flashlight and the optional xenon bulb . if I have know this before , I would never have buy it . +351 Flashlight POS 5 not much need to be say , a fantastic light that have serve I for year . it just get to be time to replace a very old one . I stand by the traditional bulb for the same reason I recommend the 3 cell over the 2 cell , they be better if you need to crack somebody in the skull . +743 Flashlight POS 5 one day i fill up the sink and put my mag instrument 3d cell battery flashlight next to the sink go to use the washroom and when i get back it fall in the sink i take it out and to my surprise it still work +526 Flashlight POS 4 everything but the holster ... well ... be plain great ! I find the flashlight around my local area but they be not at this price . I simply take the holster and get rid of it . they rip and tear off quickly . in a pinch I guess they would be ok to use one day but that be about all you would get out it . I have a ballistic holster that I get on Amazon and it be a lot better and will last for year . +901 Flashlight NEU 3 I have always be a big fan of Maglite flashlight ... and I be excite when I find a camo one on Amazon that be advertise as led . I would previously try a conversion kit to change a maglite to a led , but it do not work out so well , so I think I would order one that already have the led . I open the package , put the battery in , and guess what ? it be a xenon bulb -lrb- which be a great bulb , but not so great on battery life . -rrb- . very disappoint in the misleading description . I 'll give it three star because it be a great little flashlight , even though it be not what I want , and not what be advertise . +157 Flashlight POS 5 receive my mag Lite quickly . I find this product excellent . well construct and long lasting . I wish that battery last longer , but we can not have every thing . great size for walk my dog at night . +862 Flashlight POS 5 for its size , its the best thing out there in term of light , with a great slim outer shell . the include holster be a great plus . long battery life due to the led ! +625 Flashlight NEG 1 many of you must have notice that various manufacturer of power tool be `` give away '' flashlight with cordless drill , etc. . well , this be how they make money , by charge $ 5 for one flashlight bulb ! what a ripoff . in my experience , these light bulb be cheaply manufacture and blow out in matter of week , not year . I recommend that you search for `` 4-led flashlight '' on Amazon.com and , for a bit more money , buy one of these lead model for which you never have to replace the bulb . +851 Flashlight NEU 3 find someone else to ship this thing to you . 8 buck for shipping and it be like 10 day after I get it . +20 Flashlight POS 4 Update : I be too harsh when I write the original review . in fact , I buy two more to have handy in case of power failure . if you use a flashlight for work , say plumbing or cabling in darkish area , the lack of a single button be a pain ; for a reliable light that keep the battery fresh a long time , this be a good buy . + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + good , solid little flashlight , and very bright . just be aware that there be no button ; you must rotate the head to turn it on , mean you need two hand . this be not the flashlight to keep by you bed at night , because if you hear a sound and have to reach for protection and the light , you will be fumble to turn this on . yes , it be possible , with practice , to turn it on with one hand -- if you hand be large and strong enough -lrb- but not too large ! -rrb- . another situation : if you be out walk in the evening and a car start come towards you , a button to turn on the light quickly be much better than fumble around try to twist the head . of course if you hand be sweaty or you have put on some lotion and suddenly need a light , again , you need two hand , and even then , you be fumble . on a postive note : one way to measure a flashlight 's quality be by how well it preserve battery when not in use . this be almost as good as its d cell sibling , and much better than any other aa flashlight that I have use . battery stay fresh in this a long , long time . +223 Flashlight POS 5 I order the light and it come in 3 day with regular shipping . the light be very bright , it be very lite for it be size and stay charge for day . +565 Flashlight POS 4 this be really a bright flashlight . a classic Maglite product . make from aircraft aluminum . it be really rugged that it become a issue with the lapd for use they as a melee weapon . wife do not want to touch it , it be heavy like a sledgehammer . pro : - it be blind bright . - adjustable beam spread by twist the head , which be also serve as the on and off switch . - well construct in every detail . - water resistant - it even include a spare lamp inside the tail cap -lrb- under the spring -rrb- . - reasonable price con : - use 4 `` d '' battery that make it so heavy and big . it be a struggle to carry it unless you need it also as a weapon . - maglite be somewhat overrate in my opinion . +420 Flashlight POS 5 i get one of the mag charger lite bout 7 year ago from a friend and its be the best lite ever ive use it coon huntin and on the job as a security guard in a very active junk yard finally the switch go out and i just reorder I a new one anyway if u work in a bad place night shift the magcharger what u want . +800 Flashlight POS 4 these be a replacement for a set I have buy year ago and one have break . I really like these bracket as they allow I to keep my mag lite flashlight in a conspicuous spot and allow easy removal when need . my only concern be that they do break after a couple of year . I would like to see a softer more flexible plastic use in they construction , thus ensure a longer lasting product . of course with the reasonable price I feel they be still a good buy . +523 Flashlight POS 4 hus folk , these clip be great and do exactly what they describe . it take a hefty pull to get the flashlight out when use both mount and that be exactly what you want . I would warn fellow knuckle dragger like myself , that when the flashlight be remove from it be clip , the clip can be break with a bit of pressure in the wrong direction . I would recommend install the clip where there be not a chance of they be rub or push up against by anything else . I install my clip near the stickshift of a Jeep Wrangler on the passenger side and I have end up go through 3 set in 11 year . as far as I know , there be nothing else out there that be as cheap or as good so I 'll stick with they but want to offer up some placement advice . Cheers , NORCALROOTS +832 Flashlight NEG 1 I have have three maglite , which be not expose to rugged use . even though the battery and bulb be still good , they no longer operate . somehow it appear that the connection or wiring have fail ! +905 Flashlight POS 5 the construction and quality be what you would expect from a maglite with a solid and durable aluminum body and rubber gasket inside to keep out dirt and water . the grip be also nicely texture to keep the flashlight from slip out of you hand . light output be excellent with a bright , white beam and good throw distance . the reflector have be redesign from the 2aa incandescent model and eliminate the infamous Maglite `` hole '' -lrb- a dark spot in the middle of the beam -rrb- when the flashlight be on full flood . adjust to spot be not a dramatic difference , but it definitely put more light in the center of the beam which can be useful in certain situation . battery last a long , long time , and unlike the older incandescent model , the light output do not decrease to unusable level long before the battery be dead but rather stay clear and bright until the battery be exhaust . the led be also considerably more durable than a incandescent bulb , and my LED Maglite have survive knock and drop that would have require a bulb replacement in my old incan model . and while the lead version be about a inch longer than the old model , the flashlight be still small and light enough to carry everywhere -lrb- I always keep mine on my belt so it be always handy when I need it , which be more often than you would expect ! -rrb- . I have only one caveat : the flashlight do not have reverse polarity protection meaning that if you accidentally install the battery backwards , you 'll smoke the led and you 'll have to buy a new flashlight . just be careful when install the battery and you 'll be fine . it might seem a little pricey , but it be worth every penny . ---------- Edit : a year later and this little flashlight be still go strong . it never leave my side . +546 Flashlight POS 4 I 'll say this first : as far as cheap led flashlight go , this be probably the most rugged and versatile one I have find . it be solid aluminum with a nice gunmetal finish , and it be fairly decently water-sealed . I have use this at night in the rain with no problem . it be not exactly insanely bright , but certainly bright enough to clearly see in front of you for about fifteen-twenty foot . past that , the beam lose a lot of its power and be just a soft light . the candle feature be interesting and useful , but the expose bulb be painfully bright to the naked eye . it need a teensy lil ' lampshade . it have a two additional mode that involve flash at different interval - a neat feature for signaling , and even self-defense . with how bright it be , you can briefly blind and disorient someone and make a getaway . it be not go to win you any fight , but it might get you out of one in a pinch . heck , you can even set it to strobe and then take the cap off so you can have a little rave party . as for flaw , it have a few , but they be not really serious . I have have issue with the flashlight flicker - partially due to the cap come loose through handling , and partly because the battery be loose enough in the housing to rattle a little side-to-side . additionally , the ability to `` focus '' the beam be pretty mild . it start out at full focus , and as you twist the end more , it just become a extremely unfocused dull light with -lrb- I imagine -rrb- limited application . the battery life be pretty decent . I get a good two-three hour of maximum brightness , and then it start dim almost imperceptibly over time . probably a good six hour of effective use . it be always a surprise to I how bright it can be when I change the battery . another reviewer mention something about not have a lanyard loop . while not visible in the product image , there be a small hole build into the cap of the flashlight through which one could put a lanyard . there be a different model that do not have say hole , however . +322 Flashlight POS 5 though this 2d model be slightly smaller than the 4d model that many people be familar with , this model be just as useful . in fact , I prefer the 2d model because it be easier to handle and not as awkward to carry as the longer 4d model . the light in this baby shine bright enough to almost completely illuminate a small room . if you so desire , you can focus the beam or let it spill out . the bulb hardly ever have to be replace and even if you use the inexpensive battery , they do not need to be replace as often either -lrb- the light suck all the juice out -rrb- . besides just be a great flashlight , the mag-lite 2d also work well as a club -- you can actually knock someone out cold . a great tool ; one that every home should at least have one of . +99 Flashlight POS 5 this flashlight be worth the price . it be well make and durable . I would definitely recommend this to a friend . +164 Flashlight POS 5 get she as advertise could not even get they at Home depot around here but Amazon have it in stock +483 Flashlight POS 5 install these on the wall in my kitchen to mount my LED Maglite and they work like a charm . they be make from plastic but be really sturdy and after a lot of use so far I do not have any doubt they will last a long time . +866 Flashlight NEU 3 decent ring . I would recommend use with 2 d cell or 2-4 c cell light only as anything bigger be just ridiculous to carry in the manner design for this product . not the greatest leather as far as I can tell by look and feel . I do not have enough time and use with it to reveal wear and durability but figure that compare to most other law enforcement grade holder that it would not stand up as well . certainly not practical or tough enough for police work but may be desirable for light security and maintenance work . +208 Flashlight NEG 2 I have have several maglite over the year and while read the review decide to get this light because it be lead . wrong , for some reason most of the review be on the lead version and this light be the battery eating krypton version . I have drawer full of these old one and do not use they because they be just old inefficient technology . I be bum out and request a refund and plan to refuse the fedex shipment . but when I cancel the order they say to just keep it . I really do not wont the damned thing but I think it would cost they more if I now refuse the package . moral quandary . maybe I 'll upgrade it with the LED kit . +837 Flashlight NEG 2 product arrive on time as advertise with no problem . ship be outrageous . I do not note it at the time and would not have order if I have of notice . that be my fault . for $ 10 shipping I would have think that it would have be hand deliver within a hour . they make good money on that one . +854 Flashlight POS 5 this product be deliver complete and new . final cost of product be as show on site Delirvery be as schedule . very satisfy with process . +677 Flashlight POS 4 I have have two Mini Maglite LED 's now , the first be package as a 3 watt , but no explanation of lumen . it have only two mode , on and off . I think it be a great light , but after about a year of daily use , I start have problem with the switch sticking . I spray a small amount of wd40 into the barrel to loosen the switch . it work , and I use it for several more month trouble free , until it start stick again . I repeat the wd40 trick , and the switch again start work , but this time , the light output turn blue . it look like there be some kind of a clear cap over the led that come off , apparently loosen by the wd40 . I be unable to reattach it , so I retire that light as useless , and purchase a new one . the new light have the additional mode , and say nothing about 3 watt , but it be every bit as bright as the original . I add the petroleum jelly around the thread , and it work great for a few week . then I start have trouble with the switch . I think the petroleum jelly would have take care of that , but it do not . I finally dip a q-tip in wd40 , and very carefully apply a very small amount around the switch . so far so good . I buy one for my wife , she light exhibit the same problem . it be always with the switch . +806 Flashlight POS 5 I purchase this product to be use by a entire division of over 25 personel onboard a NAVY vessel . in the workspace , temperature be always over 100 degree , and the flashlight have be drop numerous time on steel deck . the Maglight have even be submerge in oily water , and I have not have one problem with it . +993 Flashlight POS 5 this be a really good light . it stay in the charger so it be always ready to go . focusable beam be a great feature . it be very bright . +911 Flashlight POS 5 this be a great flashlight . the head can be position any direction and it be durable . I have three of these for my shop and car . +488 Flashlight POS 5 I have originally intend to buy this belt loop to hang my carabiner full of key . I be get tired of rip my jeans ' and shorts ' belt loop clean off of the pants themselves , so I buy this to move the load onto the belt instead . they be great for that purpose , as the plastic ring be very durable and the leather , which appear real , be sturdy . my key hang a little lower now , but I would rather have they jingle and jangle around my leg instead of ruin my pants . I also have d-cell maglite , and it work great for those as well . overall , this be a sturdy product . you really can not quite go wrong with it . +386 Flashlight NEU 3 the AA Mini mag be a reliable tool for everyday use . here be the pro 's : it be compact size and the sheath allow you to carry it anywhere you go . if you drop it nothing will happen to it -lrb- unless of course you abuse it -rrb- . the lens scratch easily , but they be inexpensive to replace . the lightbulb be also inexpensive should the original blow out . the head quickly adjust from spotlight to floodlight , and it be quick conversion to candle mode make it a unique tool , especially during a blackout or natural disaster . its compact size also allow you to use it in tight space such as check the back of the refrigerator , wash machine , or in you car 's engine . the con 's : the light be not too bright , it just do not hack it if you be picky about illumination . of course the xenon bulb be better than the type you 'll find on a $ 1 Dorcy light , and many other cheap flashlight . but if you have use Streamlight , Inova , Surefire , or even the new 3-watt led maglite , you 'll be disappoint by its brightness . if you be willing to spend some buck , you can upgrade you Mini mag to a 1 Watt LED light , which will provide twice as much light . you can also buy the switch that allow you to turn it on at the bottom with a simple click . there be some pretty cool thing out there that can turn this tough , reliable flashlight into something better ! however , it be still not appropriate for law enforcement , military , security guard , etc. . it would be more appropriate for everyday household use , walk the dog at night , or light up the room you in during a blackout . this flashlight usually range between 8-15 buck depend on where you get it from . if you spend about $ 25 buck -lrb- which would be roughly the same amount you would spend to upgrade the minus mag -rrb- , you can buy yourself a 2aa battery , 3-watt Mini-Mag Lite with a holster that will surely not leave you disappointed . it be light output be tremendous , and it be sure to blind you or anyone who look directly onto it . it also travel further . it also save battery life . it be not you average led-light , it be better and at a affordable price . so you might want to give that other flashlight a try if you be picky about the brightness of you flashlight .

Super bright with a wonderful adjustable focusing\/spreading beam . I be enthral . after the month honeymoon , reality set in as in as its ability to hold a charge rapidly weaken . soon , when take it from its charge cradle it would become useless in a matter of minute . I buy two more rechargeable battery , at twenty buck a pop ... ... ... ... . same result : take it out of it be charge cradle and all be fine . five minute later no light at all . during that two year , all I have use it for be occasionally go out with the dog at night and during infrequent power outage . it look just like it come out of the box , not a mark or even a smudge on it . there be no way the flashlight use could have exceed five hour . despite its very limited use , I still go through 4 replacement bulb at five buck a pop . along the way , the switch stop work ... in the on position . one still could turn it off and on by unscrew back a half dozen turn , but ... ... . . do the arithmetic . at 95 buck cost new , plus 60 buck in battery plus 20 buck in bulb come to $ 175.00 for 5 hour use work out to $ 35 per hour ... ... for a flashlight with a broken switch and will not hold a charge for five minute .

I have own other type but they never seem to last so you get what you pay for . I also own one of the mag-lite flashlight that you recharge and while it be kinda high in price I love this one and it be so bright you wouldnt believe it . so you can see that I be a true believer in the mag-lite and if you be interested in the rechargeable the cost be around $ 110.00 and they be usually sell at place that sell law enforcement supplies . one more thing and that be they be make in the USA !! +332 Flashlight POS 5 I have 6 of they and one in my car . I give one to my mom . I tell she you use to hit someone over the head if you need to lol I tell she also if there be ever a fire use it to brake out the window with it . one of mine be at least 13 year old . sure you be spend a little more for maglite but they last for ever . I have drop mine from about 30 foot the dam thing still work great . this week i pick up 10 pack of d battery with spring come up and bad weather . +123 Flashlight NEG 1 this flashlight do everything except be a flashlight . not sure how the switch be make , but if the light be bang or bump the light turn to the next mode which include SOS or dim , etc. . please just turn on and stay on , and it doesnt do that . buy two , never again , return one , need to get rid of the other . steer clear of this junk , this light make you want to smash it it be so annoying use it for work and it bump and start blinking . +91 Flashlight POS 5 I order one of these for my husband for christmas and he love he . I receive mine as a christmas gift from my dad several year ago because he would see I use old junky flashlight that you could barely see in front of you to take my dog out at night . this lite be extremely bright and you can see for a long way , you can not go wrong with this one and I highly recommend it . +402 Flashlight POS 5 this lamp have be engineer to withstand abuse . it be a very basic flashlight , except for the heavy duty construction . have stand the test ot my two year old , who want he own flashlight . +957 Flashlight NEG 1 purchase this small led flashlight to try out for a all around toolbox , glovebox , field inspection light . I currently own two original 2d cell maglite and they be excellent , both 5-6 year old and great shape . I purchase the genuine Maglite LED upgrade kit for both of they and be very satisfied . Have have the same d battery in they for 1-2 year and they be still put out great light , so excellent battery life . for the small 2aa light , first the pro : the aluminum housing be solid , same quality as older maglite ; the lead light be actually brighter than my 2d lead maglite and i actually prefer the 2aa light as it be whiter , and if the control work well i would buy more of they ; the size be perfect . for the con : the control make this a very annoying product ; the twist on\/off be fine , but one small bump or a small twist of the front and it shift from high to low or to flash mode . twist control fine , but when you pick 100 % on it should stay that way unless you intentionally change it , not change with a mild touch . when inspect a building with colleague the last thing I want be a flashlight to start flash like poltergeist . I personally would prefer just on\/off , or on 100 % \/ on 50 % \/ off . the flash light and SOS mode for I be unneeded ; the 25 % mode be too dim to be useful , i would recommend 100 % \/ 50 % ; nextly , the end battery cap do not stay on tightly . my old maglite have to turn hard to tighten and they stay that way . this battery cap loosen easily and then actually switch the mode -lrb- 100 % to 25 % to flash -rrb- when it be loose ; lastly , i do miss the on\/off switch find on the 2d light . final word : frame quality , great . brightness , great . just need the old Maglite rock solid on\/off control . user tip : I actually put some white teflon plumber tape inside the thread of the battery cap and it stay much tighter . I also put teflon on the inside on\/off thread and it be harder to twist , so it do not switch mode by itself so easily . not sure how long it will last but worth a try . +794 Flashlight POS 5 please see my review on DeWalt DW 9043 bulb , as most of that apply here . bulb work great , but run very hot . Lens very hot , after 2-3 seconds touch , reflector about the same . metal hinge\/holder too hot to touch . some plastic smell in first 10 minute inspection . check again at 1 hour 5 minute -lrb- total test time -rrb- and still the same . no scorch or melt plastic . a winner ... UPDATE april27\/12 : still work great with normal drop and bang , lens heat not a issue ... +954 Flashlight POS 5 for the price , this be a very well build flashlight , dont expect too much light output from it tho . . I buy it mainly because I can simply attach it into my key chain so whenever I need some light , it serve its purpose I be surprise see ppl give it 1 star in term of the light output , what would you expect from a $ 5 flashlight that be the size of you finger ?? +572 Flashlight NEG 1 what a waste of money . this be not a lead light , and do not come close to the performance of a lead light at half the price ! guess we be pay for the name and the lifetime warranty . this one will easily last a lifetime , sit unused in a drawer . buy it for my medical career wife -lrb- she like purple -rrb- but it be clumsy for she to turn on , concentrate the beam , then turn off with one hand . buy she a 99-cent tear-drop shaped keychain lead light on a whim and its perfect . brighter and easier to use , replaceable battery , and 1\/7 the cost . I really expect more from this company , but both this light and they customer perspective be obsolete . no complaint with the quality of construction . solid aluminum and o-ring as usual . just have the minor flaw of cast a weak and scattered beam , way below the performance of modern led technology . the light be yellow and full of shadow artifact that prevent a clean illumination . not a good buy ; do not repeat my mistake ! +260 Flashlight POS 5 as always Maglite be the best . especially when price like this . thank you for that . the actual weight of this flashlight with 6 copper-top be about 2 or 3 pound . so it be probably too long and heavy for close quarter mechanic type work . but for those of we that need a unofficial `` weapon '' on the job , this more than fit the bill . I hope to get the glass break tip soon . +83 Flashlight NEG 1 this look at the darkness ring \/ write where small size maglite be dim . if the head of the flashlight which be break that be twist , concern that exactly as for a certain thing , that that it be and change the beam into the dark ring flood where light\/write be put in place appropriately exactly from the fact that it become black it be possible necessary . so be anodize for corrosion resistance and the durability which increase , this flashlight really the automatic operation which remove oxidation as a feature show the type switch of cleaning which rust . while make the application of a bad state where the part of the circuit of low resistance the electric battery be bad possible , the o ring of resistance to class and the water whose each start be high produce effect . the representative of nast free light\/write of the hand of of the convenience which candle mode that be entreat include in the darkness in regard to this flashlight . need the something which dark state be hard , sign of the diamond which be apply that have be break perhaps and be the fairness where where it be turn off and with that of the point in regard to the excessive lamp of help of the tail hat of grip that you attach . you purchase include the electric battery of the main holder and two alkali aa . +426 Flashlight POS 5 I receive the MAGLITE M2A016 AA Mini Flashlight a few month ago from Amazon . it work as advertise and illuminate quite adequately the small size be quite handy . there be a spare bulb in the base ; have not realize this I purchase two spare bulb ... . unlike a previous reviewer I do receive the two AA Duracell Batteries at the advertised price +304 Flashlight POS 5 I buy this light because I have a flashlight addiction . I also find pleasure in own thing that will outlast I . in addition to this 6-d maglite , I purchase a Nite Ize 1 watt lead dropin from Lighthound , which I install as soon as I receive the club -lrb- flashlight , sorry -rrb- . led or no led , maglite be a exceptional value for a heavy duty flashlight that will provide year of service and be easily modify . we have a half dozen scatter throughout the house . I be astounded at the sheer enormity of this light . Haha . it be truly a beast , suitable for carry on a belt loop while patrolling one 's neighborhood during a blackout or disaster , or for walk one 's dog , or when walk through the nasty side of town . it be heavy enough to do damage and long enough to give you some reach without get too close to someone 's hand . it would also make a good light for one 's vehicle , to ride along next to you . sorry , this one will not fit in you glovebox . the one thing about standard incandescent flashlight -lrb- maglite include -rrb- be that the bulb be not very durable . the aluminum casing and bezel be almost indestructible , but once you wail on someone or use it as a hammer , or drop it into a sinkhole -lrb- bad experience while cave , long story -rrb- , they be pretty much shot , and you once-dual-use item be now a expensive and heavy piece of milled barstock . with a lead dropin kit install , this problem be negate -lrb- there be many such kit ; some burn hotter than other , but do not last as long , and some be barely brighter than moonlight , but last hundred of hour on a single set of battery -rrb- . I think Nite Ize be good compromise , as long as you get the 1-watt bulb . seem they have clock better than 28 hour during run test , and this on a 3-c cell light . with more battery come higher output and longer runtime . check out Candlepowerforums.com for more info . either way I be glad I buy this light . it give I a less-lethal option with more reach than a pocket lead light , and a focusable beam . plus , it be likely that it will outlive I . in a throw away world , mag Instruments stand out . they manufacture item that be not only fully warranteed , but be bombproof , make in the USA , -lrb- mostly -rrb- , and to top it all , you can find they largest light on Amazon for less than 30 bone . I think that be a laudable record . they have my business , for life . pmz +791 Flashlight POS 5 this little tiny flashlight be powerful . from the name you can trust . I have have mag-lite for many year and I have to say that this one be the most convenient of they all . it be durable , lightweight , and very inexpensive . it fit into any pocket , or can go on any key chain . you can even have one in any part of you car or house for those little emergency that ary . the aluminum alloy case be so protected that this flashlight can last a lifetime . it have be a great and useful investment . enjoy !?! +410 Flashlight NEG 1 after purchase this item online , i go to wholesale store like costco and i see that a mag instrument pack of 1 big torch -lrb- a size -rrb- and 1 -lrb- aa size -rrb- torch just cost around $ 13.99 +425 Flashlight NEG 1 it cost about 80 cent to ship these anywhere in the state via postal service , yet rfbdirect seem to have a flat rate of $ 7 . they must be lunar base . also , these be garbage bulb anyway . for the price of a Dewalt tool , you would think they could make a better bulb ! +564 Flashlight POS 5 move to a new apartment I know that I would need a flashlight at some point . I have a old flashlight that hardly work and think a small , easy to use flashlight would be fine . the review on this product be positive so I take the leap . I be really please with this light . I have not have a lot of use for it at this point , but the few time I have have to use it , it have work as expect . I be also a bit fan of the lamp ability that this light have . I would definitely recommend this product . +130 Flashlight POS 5 great bracket for the light . put it in my truck and the bracket have not drop my light yet . I do some really hard off-roading and the light stay in the mount bracket . +28 Flashlight POS 5 the superior lite for a guy or a gal . it never let you down at any season . +379 Flashlight POS 4 great flashlight . a little large , but bright and very durable . only disadvantage be that it can not be upgrade to a lead ; mag only make led for up to 4d . +306 Flashlight POS 5 what can one say about Maglite ? they the best ! I have a full size mag and several of the minus 's . I love the Mini-Mag lead !!! first off they as indestructable as a light be gonna come . serious shock resistance ... serious water resistance ... not a hammer and not a diver 's light but as close as the most of we will ever need . secondly they weight be about right . Heavy enough to protect they but not so heavy that it can not be carry in a pack in the outdoors . next up be the grip , it do have a nice checkered pattern etch into the shell that give a good grip even with glove or even when wet . battery life always depend on usage but be about average for most aa light . like most LED 's , bulb life be advertise as 100k hour . while I do not think it will last that long , it will make it long enough to make you feel it be a worthwile investment , and the bulb probably will not be what fail first anyway . next let talk about light...four-funtion of light ! by twist the bezel counter-clockwise it turn on the full power beam . now it be not the brightest compact light in the world -lrb- that distiction go to lithium power tactical light -rrb- but for a AA Alkaline power light , it the brightest I have see . brighter infact than my 3aa power Gerber tx3 .0 ! I have not do a distance comparison between they yet , but I can tell you that sit in my chair in the wood camping , the Mini-Mag illuminate distance up to 30 ' like daylight ! I be not kid ! distance up 50 ' can be see pretty well assume there be not too much clutter to cast shadow . also a big plus ; unlike previous generation of Mini-Mag LED 's , the bezel can adjust to focus the beam . finally turn it clockwise until it tighten and stop will turn off the light . now that be one fuction ... turn the bezel couter-clockwise and then back off , then counter-clockwise -lrb- or on-off-on -rrb- within about 3 seconds will take you to mode # 2 ... low power . accord to the box it be about 25 % power . I find it to be a great reading light , map light for the car , light to look in small space where too much power could `` wash out '' or blind you eye . in fact I use it for navigation in total darkness . that way I be not totally blind when I turn off my light . next mode # 3 ... -lrb- from off ... on-off-on-off-on -rrb- it be a flasher that flash at about 1 flash per second . Great for signaling ! I speak from experence here . I have a family member lose after a hike that get past sundown . I hike to a ridgetop right off the road then use this flasher to help they locate I . it work ! it be not a high speed strobe so it be not a defense tool , but as a locator signal , I give it a useful thumb up ! finally mode # 4 ... -lrb- from off ... on-off-on-off-on-off-on -rrb- S.O.S. mode . I seriously doubt anyone of we will be so lose or stand that we 'll be signal pass plane and ship but hey I guess if you be ... in all seriousness though if it be all you have get , it could help you be find by rescure or a passer-by . consider this , a 100 % truely dead car battery , mean no 4-way flasher . it addition help show that you need help with this almost universally recognize help signal , it also help make you vehicle visible avoid a potentially deadly accident . all in all , perhaps a little gimicky , perhaps not ... it all depend on what you intend to do with you new light . one final word about the bezel switch . after about 3 to 5 seconds of sit in either the off or on position , the next time the light be turn on it will return to full power output -lrb- aka mode # 1 -rrb- . I be not kid when I say this be my favorite product I have ever review ! there be so many use ! and everyone have need of it , they may just not know it yet ! +987 Flashlight POS 5 high quality construction . bright for its size and reasonable battery usage for type of flashlight . what more can you ask for , consider the price ? +166 Flashlight POS 5 this will be the second one I have own . the first one I have for 10 year and leave on a bus , by accident . it be the best deterrent one could hope for . when you carry it like a cop with you hand at the lamp ready to flash it in someone face to stun they with the light , pop they on the forehead to get they attention , or knock they to the ground use it like a baseball bat . man look at you very differently , a bit scared and not cat call and blow you kiss . +527 Flashlight POS 4 some reviewer disparage these clip because they be plastic . I have to look closely at they to make sure they be plastic since they feel very sturdy to I . I attach they to the frame of my futon in a couple of minute and now feel better know that I have a light handy without even have to get out of bed . I plan to get another set , or two , to mount a light near the garage door and maybe even in my suv . +406 Flashlight NEG 2 when everyone say mag light be `` top of the line '' they be be incredibly naive ! try look into some real flashlight like Surefire , Fenix , and huntlight ! mag light even measure in candlepower , which grossly exaggerate brightness too . you turn they on and they be bright , but in 10 minute it 'll get dimmer . I own a flashlight by fenix which be easily 5 time as bright as this and will fit in the palm of my hand ! before you buy this light , consider the p1dce by Fenix , or the g2 from Surefire . thank you ! +359 Flashlight POS 5 if you be like I , you be always shine light into people 's eye , ear , and mouth in clinic and on the ward . it be important when check pupillary reactivity to have a strong , even , consistent light that you can trust ! this light fit the bill perfectly . it clip into you whitecoat breast pocket and stay there . it come in several stylish color . and the ability to manually focus the light allow you to eliminate annoying ` hot spot ' and ` cold spot ' in the beam , common with cheap penlight , that might lead the naive medical student to miscall a afferent pupillary defect on the difficult ` swinging-flashlight ' test ! I have be care for patient with my Mini MagLite for more than 3 year . I would urge you to do the same ! +38 Flashlight POS 5 these 12-volt flashlight bulb be difficult to find . the price from Amazon be terrific , and they be here in two day . great deal . +492 Flashlight NEG 2 I be what some might call a flashlight abuser . I work as a professional auto mechanic , and I use a flashlight every day . many time a day , in fact . and guess what , I drop it on the floor occasionally . in my experience , this routine be too demand for 95 % of the flashlight out there . I could spend 8o buck on some `` ultimate '' flashlight , but I never will because it would undoubtedly get lose within a week . I have find that the regular , under ten buck , krypton-bulb Mini Maglite be up to the task , however . while the bulb need to be change frequently , I have never have to replace a maglite entirely , except when I lose one . for this reason , I think I would give the lead version a try after I misplace my regular flashlight , to try to save some energy . I be pleasantly surprise at the brightness of the LED bulb . its focus be not adjustable , but the light it produce be bright enough that this be not really a necessity . I wish the flashlight come in brighter color , because misplacement be a big concern for I . I really can not fathom why there be so many black flashlight on the market . I guess maybe people think they look cool or something . I have try LED flashlight and bicycle headlight in the past and have find that they have a major flaw-the electronics be quite succeptible to routine shock such as a 3-foot drop . and , of course , the electronic gut be the most expensive and hard to replace part of the lamp . unfortunately , the LED Maglite be no exception . my flashlight start to cut out intermittently within a few week after I buy it . it be now entirely dead after maybe two month . I think the Maglite would be a cut above the usual led light , and I be wrong . oh well , I guess I 'll find some other way to save the planet . +799 Flashlight POS 5 I buy this flashlight in 1996 and it be clearly the best flashlight I have ever own . as a police officer I need a flashlight that be durable , could light up the occupant of a vehicle at night to the point where they be blind , and allow I to see everything in the vehicle . this flashlight be literally a lifesaver . I have replace the battery pack once and a few bulb , and I still use it today . Worth every penny ! +765 Flashlight POS 5 mag Lite make wonderful flashlight of all size . this one fit perfect in my leathercraft tool holder that I ware work outside . +297 Flashlight POS 5 this be a short Maglite . I leave it in the glove box of the car . it work great . I have have it over a year and each time I have use it the light have work fine . it be not a large beam of light ; but for look at small thing up close it work fine . +238 Flashlight POS 5 this be the greatest fleshlight for work , because you can set the thing down and pivot the head to where you need light . it be like have someone hold it for you . it will withstand alot of abuse . it be very bright , for a relatively long time . the only thing that I can complain about be the price of the bulb . +215 Flashlight NEU 3 this bulb be not as bright as the original Ryobi bulb that come with the flashlight . I end up buy the led bulb for 20 $ . the led make similar amount of light as this bulb -lrb- so , the LED be not as bright as the original either -rrb- , but extend the battery life to 6 time as much as before ! +870 Flashlight NEG 1 Maglite sell great flashlight many year ago . they have not really change they light much over the year , and they be fall behind . there be much better , smaller , and brighter light on the market for reasonable price . why lug around three huge and heavy d cell ? maglite have be sue smaller company for unreasonable reason . they sue smaller company for silly little thing . do you want to buy from a huge company that crush the other little guy ? I sure do not want to . I think that if you want a good flashlight you should look at Surefire , Streamlight , Scorpion , and other company . +342 Flashlight POS 5 the duracell daylite lead flashlight be definitely brighter when it come to comparably size light . I buy this want a small penlight , medium amount of light , and high durability . it fit three these criterion perfectly . my last one die because the battery leak and corrode the bottom out . lesson : change the battery when they be dead , do not just leave they . if you want a small , medium power , durable penlight-this be the way to go . if you want more light and can deal with something a little bigger : go with the daylite +680 Flashlight POS 5 I have recently take up the sport of extreme hunting , where I forgo traditional weapon and instead equip myself with nothing more than my wit and a club . because I typically stalk my prey at night , I decide to give the s6d106 a try . I have find , however , that the product 's primary quality -lrb- size and mass -rrb- make it more suitable as a hunting implement than a flashlight . I have down many deer and other game by simply bash they head in with this tool . the s6d016 also serve as a acceptable anti-bear device . I be once attack by a female grizzly bear during one of my hunting trip . instead of run or scream as be usually suggest , I counter the bear 's charge with my own maglite assault . the sturdy construction of the s6d016 be prove when I use the flashlight to parry the bear 's swipe . I be alive today because of this flashlight . finally , the beam generate by the s6d016 be powerful and clear . it be a pretty good flashlight . but , that have not be the focus of my use of the product in a long time . +256 Flashlight NEG 1 I be shop for a lead flashlight .

I buy a Garmin . +276 GPS POS 4 the GPS be fine . it would have earn 5 star execept the device that be suppose to keep it on the windshield be junk . it keep fall off . we call Garmin and they send a replacement . it work for about a month and it too would not hold and fall off . after call again they acknowledge that other user have have the same problem . they be now send we a `` bean bag '' to sit on the dash . it be a shame that a low tech device be kill the overall performace of a otherwise great high tech item . +776 GPS POS 4 I just buy the watch and I love it . there be lot of good review here , but this external review be the most helpful to I . it be the gold standard . also , check out he review of the 405 for a point of comparison . -lrb- ... -rrb- +202 GPS POS 5 this be my second gp . my first be a Magellan also , which I be very happy with . now a couple of year later , I decide to upgrade to the larger screen as it be easier to see . upon read other review , I find it be recommend for large car , suv 's , and truck . I have a 1998 Toyota Camry , which have a small dashboard . I measure ahead of time to make sure it would fit . and it do , snuggly , but that be all that matter ! I also purchase the 3 side bean bag weight to set it on which do not add any bulk . right now it touch my windshield , but it be on the dashboard just far enough back to not fall off . I can not say enough about the size of the display ! yes , it be large , but hey , when you get to be a senior with trifocal , the larger the screen , the better ! and the display switch to night vision which light up in mostly black and white and be easy to read at night . I would highly recommend this gp to anyone consider purchase a larger screen . when I park my car , I just pick it up and set it on the floor so it do not attract attention . absolutely perfect for I ! +555 GPS NEG 2 I be sure many have great review with this gp . however let I say that when it arrive , the first we notice that there be a scratch on the top of the GPS . open the box , we notice the bag be tear open , and then tape close . plus the one adapter be miss . plug it in and try it , there be no `` initial setup '' as the instruction state ! however the history and previous save location be all from a location in Southern California -lrb- I will not list the address of the residence , but it be on there -rrb- ! but the initial setup location be - set as HOME and be a address in southern California be on it -lrb- full address -rrb- !!! what I can positive say be that indoors it get full satellite signal ! and this be on the first floor of a two story house , not near a window but in the center of the room , or even lay on the bed -lrb- center of room far from a window and a full floor above plus attic -rrb- . one thing I do not care for be how the antenna must be open -lrb- flip up to get GPS signal -rrb- as it be just one more thing that can break off . and although there be a lot of pous -lrb- point of interest -rrb- -lrb- 6 million -rrb- keep in mind some of the hotel and such may be `` bottom line '' -lrb- that be one you would not want to take you children\/family to . one hotel that be in my town be `` bottom line '' -lrb- use for prostitution and druggie a lot and people arrest as read in the newspaper -rrb- and be list as a pous . also it list a homeless shelter as a `` hotel '' in the city ! so careful on those POI . 6 Million be a lot , but how good be the pous ? out of town people will not know local knowledge . so the AAA rate POI on Magellan be look better and better . the last thing I want after a long day trip be to settle down and have drunk howl through the hall all night long ! Amazon be very nice and will give a refund upon return ! we do a lot of business with amazon and we have never have something purchase as NEW , use like this . it make I think someone purchase it , use it for a trip and then send it back in for a refund ! look like one trip save be from CA to the midwest . I do not know if there be a reason why these Garmin 350 be so reduce -lrb- many be open or such -rrb- ? we be now go with the Magellan Maestro 3140 . and the unit be very small . it be good if you want to slip it into a pocket or such -lrb- and a small bag come with it to prevent scratch . but I can see it get lose easily if you put it in a large handbag . compare the side to two pack of baseball card . it do come with all the extra you would normally pay for . that be a home ac charger\/adapter , a dc car charger\/adapter -lrb- although the dc be now more standard with unit -rrb- , and a nice little bag to put it in and it slide in\/of the bag easily -lrb- not one of those bag that you push and pull stuff in and out of it , and the bag have a outside slot for something slim like a credit card or such . it be rate Number 2 in October 2007 `` Consumer Reports Magazine '' -lrb- or online you can read it at they site -rrb- for the best gp unit . Second only to the Garmin Nuvi 360 . if you be `` tech geek '' you 'll love the feature of touch the satellite bar in the upper LEFT corner and it 'll show you the satellite that be directly over you head , also where the current sun & moon -lrb- icon -rrb- be to you and they move east\/west -lrb- the sun\/moon -rrb- ! satellite be all number and it give you coordinate and how accurate you position be to the satellite ! say how strong each satellite signal be to you , and the elevation . this be all in the manual online in more detail . it may well indeed be that we get a bad -lrb- use -rrb- unit . but look at you hometown and you 'll see the good place and the `` seedy '' one , and understand the `` seedy '' one will be in the pous as well -lrb- make 6 million -rrb- . if you want that after a long day trip , then great , but I do not . I do want to give it a try -lrb- on battery as no cable be in the computer other than the usb ! so near we one bridge be close and you have to go around downtown to get around it all . no matter what I try , as in get a different route , detour , or even turn it on and off again it keep tell I to cross a bridge that be close work ! however we get the Magellan Maestro 3140 and hit Detour where we could not close and bang , it hit the right route in a matter of seconds . compare the Magellan Maestro 3140 and the Garmin Maestro 3140 : Garmin Nuvi 350 : - list church as pous - only fast and Closest Route Options . if a bridge\/tunnel , etc. be close , it will not give another route . Magellin Maestro 3140 : - Asks you for each route four different type -lrb- fastest , most use of highway , etc. -rrb- . and reroute fast ! - come on automatically each time you plug in the AC\/DC adapter . - Re-Routes much better and faster and allow you to reroute in advance -lrb- say you know a road be close up ahead -rrb- . my advice , make sure what you get be indeed new ! and watch the pous +787 GPS POS 4 personally , i like megellan product better , i currently own two of they ... but magellan gp do not have the pedestrian mode on any of they unit , garmin do ... so i buy this unit specifically for that purpose ... the pedestrian mode be great for when i be in a unfamiliar town ... i park the car ... punch in where be i , save to favorite ... and after hour of wander at which point i have no clue as to where i park ... this unit or pretty much all they unit have this function , will give you step by step direction back to you car ... how neat be that ... +882 GPS POS 4 I have use a mio c310x for awhile before my son take it from I to leave for college , so I experience use a GPS Nav enough to understand and appreciate all aspect of the review by ` the Shadows ' . it be a honest , expertise and comprehensive one . I be about to buy one , though I do not like the TomTom one not to have phone number of poi that the mio do abundantly . Victor . +418 GPS POS 5 I use this gp almost daily . I pickup and deliver car for a dealership both locally and out of state . it have work great for I everytime . anyone look for a gp this Garmin be a very good choice . +830 GPS POS 5 pro : this unit be awesome . it be literally a pc in you car . Radio , GPS , ipod\/iphone and bluetooth work well . can not beat the price compare to other in-dash gp . touch screen have a good sensitivity . con : I do have a problem with the microphone for the bluetooth . currently check with the seller if there be a setting for it to adjust the volume or if it could be bad . there be a lot of icon for program . I would prefer a simple menu option on the display for ease of use . +204 GPS NEG 1 I purchase this product because my original Garmin I purchase over 7 year ago , I be not able to download current map , for whatever reason . I travel a lot and be look forward to use this Garmin everywhere I travel . it have a very short battery time and I constantly have to re-charge it and it usually go dead when I need it the most . it shut off in the middle of give I direction and when I power it back on , the Garmin screen be display something totally irrelevant and start give I wrong direction . I regret purchase it ! +558 GPS POS 4 we have like the 1350lmt . have the feature I want , but more importantly , I be able to find a Garmin product that do not force I to buy thing like Bluetooth , a feature I would never use . it be be a month , it be work well , as advertise . BTW , do not hesitate to return a unit that seem faulty -- Amazon make this return process painless ! I would buy this for a family member if they need a gp . +69 GPS NEG 2 I buy this to track my calorie burn while do workout video . it do not do that , even though it have a heartrate monitor . it use the speed you travel to indirectly calculate you calorie burn , so if you be work out it can not figure out you calorie ! I do not see this list anywhere prior to purchase and now I have a overpriced watch that do I no good . +722 GPS POS 5 this product do everything be be design to do . I put my garmin in it or i put my phone in it . con . . do fog up a bit -lrb- condensation inside in drissly or cold weather -rrb- . I will buy another for my wife 's motorcycle and will probabley buy two more for we bicycle ! +593 GPS POS 5 so far so good ! ca not really comment on the lifespan or support since I have not have it very long or need any support . but it be great so far\/1 +813 GPS POS 5 1 . after you set a address to go , it will suggest you a route . when you drive out of the route , it will recalculate a new route from you current place to the destination . 2 . after you set a address to go , it will suggest you a route . it might be far away . on the high way you do not need the GPS , so you can turn off the unit . when you be close to the destination you can turn the gp on and select view the map . it will continue the route . after 4 year , I be still use it . this be one more thing I like it . that make I trust Garmin . +325 GPS POS 4 I need to commute everyday through New York City and it be imperative to know the real-time traffic since traffic can be bad and unpredictable . this gp have work pretty well most of the time . I sometimes look at Google map for real-time traffic update and try to come up with my own route and it usually match the route calculate by gp . the only time that the gp do not work be when Google map show that the traffic have clear on Washington bridge and this gp still direct to avoid it . overall it be a good product to use for people who need to drive through unpredictable traffic but with alternative route . though I would say that combine google map and this gp would be even better . +984 GPS POS 5 I have have the product for a couple of month . this product be great and do everything advertise . all function appear to be quite accurate . yes it be not fashionable , but its a fair tradeoff for the map and compass function that come in really handy when hike . everything be very intuative . the only complaint I have about the product be the 1 + min startup time require to locate the GPS satellite . +109 GPS POS 5 yes it be big and ugly but it be comfortable , lightweight , and the large display make it easy to read . at a glance I have distance , timer , pace , and heart rate . the gp appear to be very accurate because I have compare it to other source and it be the same . I be not very tech savvy but find the control easy to use . the software that be include be easy to use too . you can download you information into a log and get a nice display and summary of all you information . for all that it be include the price be quite low and it be definitely make my run more enjoyable and informative . I highly recommend it . +634 GPS POS 5 I purchase this as a upgrade \/ replacement for a 5 year old Garmin 60c . my old 60c be a steadfast companion on myriad canoe camping trip and have help I out of dicey situation many time . this newer model be strikingly similar except for some small but significant change . ~ the receiver be far faster to lock onto sattelite and fix position ~ the receiver have much greater sensitivity - this one actually can lock on and follow I in my house ! ~ battery life be slightly improve ~ syncing to a pc seem easier and more solid at Amazon 's price I pay $ 110 - less than I do 5 year ago , and that be at a good discount . +573 GPS POS 5 great product . take you where you want to go . timely deliver . well package . no negative at all . +183 GPS NEU 3 if you use a 64 bit OS you will not be able to download map to unit until Garmin provide driver support . other then this it be a great product ! +552 GPS POS 4 I use this 4.3 '' version in my car ; the 5 '' version would be just a bit too large . pro : \* the gp be easy and logical to input address into . it also quickly find every address I have put in so far and the give route be very reasonable to I , give my knowledge of the area and road . \* the touch screen be very responsive . \* the suction cup and mount bracket work very well . no adhesive need on two different car . \* both the mount bracket and the power connection be magnetic and work better than I anticipate . fast and trouble-free connect and disconnect . \* the screen seem fine and normally responsive in cold weather -lrb- -10 f -rrb- . \* you can connect the gp to you pc and the internet to get free lifetime map update . First you Download and install the `` mytomtom support application '' . then you connect you gp unit to you pc and turn on the GPS . then the TomTom software open you default browser automatically and load you TomTom account page -lrb- once you have a account -rrb- and give you a status . this be also dependent on if you have you browser cookie save for TomTom -lrb- you can use a white list if you regularly discard cookie -rrb- . when connect and update map , you browser window say `` TomTom GO -lrb- model number -rrb- '' , then `` install ... '' . quite logical and easy to use . \* on certain screen you can control map with finger swipe and 2-finger zoom -lrb- similar to a iPhone -rrb- . \* the screen be very bright and can easily be see in intense daylight . there be a night mode -lrb- that it can switch to automatically -rrb- and the screen 's brightness be adjustable . \* it display the speed limit on that section of the road . it be very accurate on both where the speed limit change and what it be . this help I with the age old question : `` what be the speed limit here again ? '' \* Traffic Information feature : this can recalculate you trip time , and suggest alternate route , depend on traffic . this feature could be great , but it appear to not be available in my city . on the TomTom website you can get a list of city available . my city be not list . the car power cord have a traffic receiver build into it -lrb- when you connect the car cord it say `` rds-tmc receiver connect '' -rrb- . while I be not really sure how this feature work technically , the manual say that the gp display traffic datum with red indicate congestion and green show no problem . pro with limitation : \* the manual be extremely easy to read and get you start fast . it explain the GPS graphic well . most of the GPS menu be intuitive and with a bit of work you be good to go . however , the manual do not go into great detail of all the option and setting . for basic task this be not a big deal as they be fairly obvious . however , there be a few option that take I forever to find -lrb- see below -rrb- . \* the unit have the ability to use command speak by you . for example , `` calculate a alternative route . '' when work , it be great , but it have a few major stumbling block . first , it take I forever to figure out how to turn on the speak command option . it turn out it be bury under the `` make you own menu '' option and a check box of `` voice command and control . '' it be nowhere else . not obvious ! next , the unit do not give on-screen prompt for what command work , so you have to know this . to view a list of voice command , you go under `` help '' in the Main menu , then `` Product manual '' and then `` what can I say ? '' again , not obvious . \* this unit have Bluetooth -lrb- BT -rrb- for link a phone and use hand free . the speaker quality and dial portion work well . but this BT feature have its problem . when the GPS be turn on , it find the paired phone . it then automatically retrieve the phone 's current contact . so far so good . however , when you display the contact , the phone number be okay , but it list all the name as a bunch of number -lrb- a software bug no doubt -rrb- . where 's Joe ? or Betty ? very aggravate . you can only find they by they phone number . so the import phone book be pretty worthless because of this . some quick web search seem to indicate this be a common problem . further search have not come up with a solution for my gp model at this time . con : \* power up and down . some car have power a -rrb- go to they cigarette lighter -lrb- cl -rrb- adapter only when the key be turn on , b -rrb- other car power the cl all the time , regardless of the key position . it would be nice if this unit adapt to both kind of car . for example , for key car the unit do not power up when power be apply via the car 's cl adapter . this feature would be handy so when you start you car , the gp start . it have shut down cover though , as it have a option for the GPS power after 10 seconds if no power be come from the cl . for constant power car , it would be nice to have a option to have the gp turn off when you car have not move in 10-20 minute . that way the GPS would turn off when you park and leave . while you should probably un-mount the gp while parking on the street for theft reason , this would take care of you garage parking , etc. . of course power on will not be cover , but you can always hit the power switch . \* it do not have any sd or microsd card slot . some people might find this a limitation as other unit have it for audio file , etc. . minor con : \* when connect to a pc , it start off flaky ; sometimes work , sometimes not . the problem seem to be a software driver issue -lrb- I have Vista -rrb- that finally fix itself after I let Windows find a driver on its own . it take several try . \* the unit use a proprietary connector on the supply cable . it be not a Mini-USB . this might be problem only if you lose you cable . \* polarize sunglass can impede you view of the GPS screen . however , this be fairly normal with electronic screen , so not particular to the TomTom brand itself . helpful hint : \* the unit can occasionally have a software hang-up -lrb- as do most brand , so this be not unique to TomTom -rrb- . to reset , press and hold the power button for 15 seconds until a quick drumbeat sound . \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* 2 update , August 2011 : Battery die July 2010 : my unit 's internal battery go belly up . I get this unit in November 2010 . after email TomTom they instruct I to return it to they at my cost . they then send I a new unit . deal with customer service be acceptable . not stellar , but not bad . however , find how to file a email claim be challenge on they web site . they want you to try all the faq helpful hint first . while this be understandable , I would prefer the link to customer service be more intuitive . good news ! the `` legal notice '' screen '' have disappear : when I recently connect my unit to get update , I notice the startup screen warn about liability and etc. be finally go . I find the startup `` lawyer screen '' , irritating . yes , I realize I still have to pay attention to the road ; I do not need a screen to remind I about the hazard of distract driving . +716 GPS POS 5 this unit be awesome . Easy to use and better than anything else out there . if you need to buy a GPS unit , get this one . +557 GPS POS 4 this product be very useful , except the sound be a little bit loud and it can not stay on the base and be easy to fall down . +385 GPS POS 5 my aim be to get a gp with no map capability in order to maintain good habit when navigate with visual checkpoint . the low battery consumption be also a important matter . the Brunton unit I get from Finalcall fulfil all my expectation . the very large screen , additional feature such as the compass , the altimeter or the barometer in addition to a full GPS unit be perfect . I will use it mainly when make cross-country travel in a Cessna 172 as a complementary tool to classical navigation instrument . the service give by Finalcall have be perfect . +19 GPS POS 5 the nuvi350 be very impressive . I find it easy to use . come very handy . have great feature . the only concern be that it take up to 2-4 minute -lrb- at time -rrb- to acquire satellite signal upon startup . +887 GPS POS 5 you have probably read how the guidance be not perfect and I be not go to tell you otherwise . but any time I have find myself get mislead I just use the map and regular map reading skill to start move in the right direction . the device will recalculate and you be on you way . with the clear , concise voice direction you can still concentrate on avoid other car . so what if I miss a junction\/turning - I just keep follow the purple line ! and yes - when you take it on the plane it can be a little slow to get it be bearing . but the 15 minute ride in the rental car shuttle be usually enough for it to figure out where it be . slap it on the windshield and you be ready to go when the barrier go up . finally , the interface be just how it should be - the button logic be clear and operation be exactly as you would expect . no complaint apart from the occasional minor route error . when I use map print out there be many more error and a lot more stress ... +694 GPS POS 5 if you be interested in the GPS aspect of the device , you can read the other review -- like they nearly all say , the 205 and 305 be excellent . I want to specifically point out how much improve and how accurate the heart rate monitor and strap be over the previous version -lrb- forerunner 301 -rrb- , as well as how favorably the 305 hrm function in comparison to the benchmark Polar monitor . the 305 have not drop my heart rate once in nearly three week of daily workout range from one to two hour . I have and have use the 301 for the better part of a year , and continually have problem with interference , which cause extend datum dropout and extremely high , inaccurate reading . the 305 be nothing like the old 301 , which be reason enough to purchase if you require a solid hrm with you gp datum . a side benefit -- it be accurate ! I have compare it with my Polar Accurex monitor , and it be dead on . if anything , the Polar update a bit slower than the Garmin . all in all , a huge improvement , and a great product . highly recommend . also , as a number of other reviewer have say , get the SportTracks software . it be free and it will greatly enhance the viewing of the datum from you new ForeRunner 305 . +958 GPS POS 5 this gp be simply fantastic !!! a employee at a car rental place talk I into try it out during a business trip to Atlanta last year . I be very hesitant to try it . however , I instantly see the light once I start use it . I have not travel without it since . I use to be a die hard map quester for all of my direction , but now all I need be my Garmin StreetPilot c330 . this gp make travel so much more care free , easy , and of all thing spontaneous ... just like travel should be . the interface be easy to use , and it be very helpful to have all of the map already load onto the GPS . it also come with a cigarette lighter adapter for you car and a usb cable to connect to you computer . its a bit spendy , but well worth the investment . +458 GPS NEU 3 buy it new for 300 on ebay , it do work well when it work but unfortunatly , it do not always work . there would be time when it just would not turn on . never have any problem with get support from Magellan , but they do not know what to do either . slow to find signal but good in hold it and recalculate when miss exit . again , you get what you pay for and this unit be certaily not woth more then $ 300 . +698 GPS POS 4 the price be reasonable and there be very good point to this gp . great display , excellent info ' , lifetime map update , etc. . but my main reason for change from a Garmin GPS i have have for several year be for the bluetooth capability which suck . the volume be like all the other but hard to find a happy medium ... I have a hard time hear the caller on the other end , and they have a hard time hear I . very disappoint for what I be look for ... gp function great ... bluetooth poor . +142 GPS POS 5 this product be amazing ! it be so easy to use and so useful especially when run long distance and you do not know how far you have be . I would recommend this product to anyone ! +994 GPS POS 5 purchase this Garmin for Christmas . love the large screen and the lane assist be wonderful . have never use a bluetooth device , and now be hooked . surprisingly clear and crisp sound . would surely recommend . +847 GPS NEG 1 we buy this for we seven year old granddaughter and try it out before give it to she . glad we do as we do not find it particularly good and end up return it . we compare the cache with geocaching.com near we home . some be list , some be miss . basically you follow the arrow and supposedly find the cache - we do not . also the arrow keep spin so that in the end we do not know which direction to go . I would rather have the clue that geocaching.com provide , know if in fact there be thing to exchange and so on . +57 GPS POS 5 I replace a Magellan map 330 gp with this Garmin unit - what a difference . I look at the Magellan color gp and choose the Garmin because of the better display and the wealth of feature . even though I be familiar with the Magellan interface , the Garmin be a snap to get use to . the navigation feature be awesome and the configurability - to make it work the way you want it to - be amazingly flexible . the display be great at night and also very readable in vary light during the day as well . the automatic switching between a daytime style and nighttime style be very cool . pro : very colorful , brightly reflective and backlit display . the navigation feature set be great , I do not expect such feature in something less than the automotive navigation gp unit . have a external antenna connector greatly improve you mount option in a vehicle -lrb- and one person even mount a antenna inside a hat , so he can track well even while the GPS be on he belt ! -rrb- the rest of the pro be too numerous to list , check out the detail at Garmin 's web site . con : somewhat expensive and proprietary mapping software . the waypoint manager software and the topo package be in dire need of update . a 5-year old California freeway be not present - bad ! I do not have the street software yet , so I can not speak to its accuracy . put the unit in and out of a mount cradle with the power plug be problematic . my old Magellan just pop in and make contact in the cradle . the Garmin method have a plug that need to be deal with each time you take it out or put it in . it be a tight fit if you have to plug in the power first and then fit it to the mount . have say all that , though , the Garmin 60c be everything that be need for my upgrade from a monochrome display gp . if you need more mapping load -lrb- i.e. ; more memory -rrb- , you 'll need to go to the 76 family , but the cost be significantly more . I rarely change map , so I find the 56mb in the 60c to be just fine . so , sorry about that , Magellan . the Garmin be a better step up . Update : I have have a chance to use the compass where I need direction when stationary and it be another excellent use for this Garmin model . I be not sure whether I should get the CS model with the compass and barometer - and I be very glad I go for it . if you do have the need for the compass , it be worth the extra buck . +403 GPS POS 4 I really like the city select and nroute . how it help a traveler who do not know where he be go in a stange place . I take it to lax and tour LA with no trouble at all and I have never be to that city before . I do think it need work in out lie area . my son live at the Edwards AFB and the program have trouble find the shortest and fastest route . I think because it always try to get you to a major high no matter how far out of the way it take you . I realize the program writer do not always know how the secondary road be go to be . take that into account , my glad I have it and will use it often . +782 GPS POS 4 the product be quite adequate and function well . do not believe they suggestion to buy a 256mb sd card however , unless you be satisfy with 2 or 3 state coverage . I get the 1.0 gb sd card and it give I detail access to over 2\/3 of the lower 48 state . I find a quirk while be instruct to enter a south bind highway from the east . it instruct I to go over the highway and make a `` hard leave '' -lrb- a illegal turn -rrb- , rather than make the right onto the cloverleaf entrance . be careful . -- the internal antenna work quite well but the placement , in my vehicle , require the use of a external antenna . DO NOT buy the Magellan External Antenna . when the weather get even slightly warm , the antenna set off a continue false alarm on my Cobra Radar Detector . Technical support have be absolutely useless . after 6 try , I have give up and buy a gilsson antenna that work much better , have no problem and cost less . Magellan -lrb- Thales Navigation -rrb- either do not understand english or choose to deliberately misunderstand the problem . they will also not offer any refund on they antenna with the design problem . -- in general , I be quite satisfied with the RoadMate 300 , but do not expect any intelligent Technical support . +298 GPS POS 5 OUTSTANDING !!!! with the 28db gain on the antenna -lrb- 3db = double the signal -rrb- ; I be travel on the interstate @ the lowest part of a tunnel -lrb- where I usually lose the gp signal -rrb- , with this antenna ... still strong signal , pick up both side of the tunnel which be separate by thick cement wall , the water & surrounding land mass . however ... the description do NOT tell you that the cable be only 9 ' long . order the extension cable ; NOT COMPATIBLE . have to call Gilsson directly to order the same radome -lrb- antenna -rrb- with a 25 ' cable on it . $ 39.95 + S&H; , go with the windshield mount $ 4.95 -lrb- with suction cup -rrb- , level it & work great . in the ramparage -lrb- usually lose signal 5 ' into it ... be able to track myself even @ the innermost part of the structure . just do a little more research before you buy . +187 GPS NEG 1 buy this for my wife for Christmas ... stop work after about 3 trip ... retailer say over thirty day so will not let I return it to they ... motorolum say they do not make gp anymore . . might get a credit for anohter product I do not need ... all in all this transaction a bust +111 GPS NEG 1 I have this xxl 540 tm and it work for a total of 10 minute when I actually use it in my truck . I call customer service and the assistant ask I if the unit be charge ?? I explain it be plugged-in for almost 8 hour before I actually use it for a road trip . the green power light on the bottom of the unit be on , but the unit will not power on . customer Service tell I to hold the power button for 1-2 minute for a ` soft-reset ' ... we be now at 12 hour plug directly to my cpu , and still nothing . so much for TomTom ... +687 GPS NEG 1 we try to install this print server use two different printer on two different network . the installation CD seem to install on both system , but we be never able to print to the attach printer . the box claim that this product will `` easily connect you printer to a network . '' well , it be easy to connect the cable , but that be as far as we get . +103 GPS NEG 1 I buy a garmin gp 60csx for several hundred dollar for use in all situation , trail , water , road , and pay $ 100 in US road map softward so I could also use it in my car to find address . the software be very user-unfriendly . I do a search for a address in Florida and it can not find a street that be be there for 30 year . it do not even have Miami on its list of city . I be sure there be a way to figure it all out if I spend hour study it , but its Garmins non-user friendly system and you should not have to do that . it be crap . you would be better off buy cheap $ 100 car gp with free road map . but do not buy Garmin , they do not know what user friendly be . and get hold of tech support to help . you can , but the wait will be long , if not impossible +737 GPS POS 5 I have have my forerunner 305 for over a year and it be my favorite piece of run equipment . I stay on track with it and I use sporttrack and sync my workout to facebook which make I more accountable . if you be think about get one I would highly recommend it . I have hear some negative thing about other model but mine be still go strong after hundred of workout . it hold up well in the rain and the heart rate strap have last 10x as long as the reebok monitor I have before . +501 GPS POS 4 I order this case for my 1450lmt . this case fit my Garmin Nuvi 1450 5 '' touch screen gp perfectly . but the side pocket be redundant - even usb cable can not be squeeze in . I be disappointed about this part . +188 GPS POS 4 I have purchase many of these gp unit . they be excellent unit for navigation to waypoint in rough condition . I beat up my unit and they take it . a previous unit have a defective power button . I fix this by cut the seal and poke the on switch with a stylus . now this unit be not usable in the rain , but be otherwise work fine . on the specific unit I purchase from this vendor : this unit work fine , but have to major defect : 1 . the sd card be defective . it will hold some map , but randomly leave out many map , render it almost useless . I replace the sd card with one from another unit , and it work fine . 2 . the ability to find interstand exit be miss from this unit . as I have say , I own several of these unit , this be the only one with this feature miss . +261 GPS NEU 3 unfortunately , I live in the stick and have no close access to play with any gp unit before I purchase one ... so I have to rely on mail order . thank goodness for Amazon . like : - Quick Satellite retrieval - show lat , Long , and altitude -lrb- you have to find this menu -rrb- - many point of interest available - small and easy to carry around , but big enough to see while drive . - Easy to navigate the menu system - decent battery life - it have be report that topographic map can be upload to this machine use the expertgp software by a third party company . I have not try this yet , but I like the idea as I hike a lot . dislike : - Garmin be a nickel and dime you to death company . I understand have to make a profit , but older unit come with pc software this unit do not ... ... no Software for pc include to plot trip and later upload to the unit . for $ 100 more you can buy this software . - you can only save one route at a time . you can save up to 500 waypoint , but only one route . - you have to pop the antenna up in order for it to acquire satellite . so it do not fit nicely in you hand if you decide to use it hiking . -lrb- yes - I know that it be make for automotive usage , but it can be convert easily as a hand hold unit with of course purchasing software for it -rrb- . - no easy battery change out without break into the unit . these modify cell phone lithium type battery typically last a year and I `` m sure Garmin have make the battery proprietary and it will cost the price of a new unit to change out . only conjecture here -lrb- when that time come I 'll hack into it as it will be out of warranty - I be a do it yourself kind of guy -rrb- - m Vista file transfer be painfully slow act like a usb 1.1 compliant unit . I back up the file from my Nuvi to Vista . 1.36 gb take 1 hour and after it time out a couple of time . on the other hand Ubuntu Linux transfer be extremely quick - 1.36 gb take 5 minute . I be not sure if this be a Garmin issue or a Windows vista issue since it be snappy on my Ubuntu machine . most likley vista driver issue . - map be outdate . I work in my county court house which be 8 year old and it be not on the map . the road to my house be 8 year old and it be not on the map . so I will have to update the map software ad cross my finger that I can locate myself : -rrb- I be sure this will cost money for a update ? the interesting thing be that business appear update . hmm ... county municipality be not show , but a business that be 1-2 year old be . I wonder if Garmin make money from put private business on they map first and road come secondary ? I call Garmin to see if the unit be suppose to come with the pc software . they state that the unit contain internal software and I can program it by use the unit . I jokingly state do you know how long it will take my fat finger to program this small unit ? I be then tell I could purchase the software for my pc . I say for the price of the unit I just assume it come with software . again I be tell that it be build in , but I can purchase the same software for $ 100 to run on my pc . Garmin have not fully win I over unless I can find some nice cheap shareware\/freeware to hack into this unit and make it functional to link up to my pc for map sequence . I 'll play with this unit a few day and see if it grow on I if not it go back and I will buy something cheaper that will do the same thing . do not get I wrong ... I like the unit and it be sturdy , its just lack update map and no pc software to plot you course to upload to the unit which I believe a unit this expensive should have . +611 GPS NEG 2 I have own this for a few month . the first few time it work fine , good capture etc. . then after a few week , the on\/off system fail like many other reviewer have state . I like the compact size , however the build quality be a little weak for constant outdoor use . the main problem be the on\/off switch , it simply be not dependable . also do anyone know be I can download the firmware ? any hint on the reset switch ? it also do not seem to work well . +82 GPS POS 5 I be a person that will research online and at the store and this be the best gp I have see . I be about to order the Garmin c330 until I check it out at a local electronics store . the salesperson show I how simple it be to use and I pick it up quickly . when I tell he how cool this thing be and that my mind be make up on the c330 , he say `` wait , check this out '' and show I the c340 . this one actually speak the name of the street instead of left or right at the next corner . it may not seem like much , but the whole reason for buy a gp be to have you hand hold as you drive . since I do not intend to buy another , I spring for the extra $ 70 buck . this puppy be a pleasure to use . I be a field technician so this save I time and fuel when go from one place to another . its especially helpful when I be call to go someplace I have never be before and I do not need to ask direction or refer to Mapquest . I simply pull over from where ever I be , key in the address and I be off . once its save , I can always return to it . my wife have always tell I I get lose after pull out of we driveway , but never again . its size also make it convenient for when I be fly out of state and have to rent a car . you will not be disappoint . +184 GPS POS 5 this be a great gp . when place a cache , the average capability be astounding . Have have many comment on how accurate my co-ord be . Works much better than my Megellan . +48 GPS POS 5 great product , largest screen size for this type of navigation . +583 GPS POS 4 just come back from a trip to CA , and it find everything almost as well as the local . when there be a accident , I get off the road and it find a alternate route . the built-in memory be enough for CA , NYC area , and New England . all I really need . Quibbles : map be tough to read , take a while to lock onto satellite . +104 GPS POS 5 I purchase this unit a few day ago and so far I be really impressed with it . it do everything that it say it would do and do it in a way that a non-tech person like I can understand . I do some test run and I do not get a wrong turn once . even when I deliberately go off course it redirect I within a second or two to get I back on track . it truly be a plug and use item with very little setup or reading of instruction to do . +909 GPS POS 4 I just receive this unit today about 3 hour ago . after play around with it and take it out for a short 20 minute drive , I think I get my money 's worth . install map to this unit take almost a hour . 1 . dvd setup copy everything to you computer . 25min 2 . Select state and it zip it or something . 15min 3 . copy map to i3 unit . -lrb- -lrb- 5min -rrb- 4 . acquire satelite . -lrb- ~ 5min -rrb- I be able to add . VA , MD , NJ , NY , de , pa , wv . I might have add couple more but I be not sure . I also add couple customer pous that I download from some site . screen size . I be afraid it might be too small , but actually it be not that bad . plus with voice prompt , all I have to do be glance at it from time to time to see if I be on the right track . Navigation . it might be the map , but sometimes when I pass a intersection , I do not see anything on my i3 unit . or the name be different . I be navigate to my office right across the street , but i3 tell I to make left turn and go around instead of just head straight . I have 2005 Civic and mount be kinda tricky . first , I place it lower middle of the windshield , but it be hard to reach . so I place it right on the center , it be easy to reach , but the cable bother I . I need to find the perfect spot to place this , or get battery . be a first time GPS user , I be not 100 % satisfied . may be I be expect too much for this price , but I think the whole calculating\/locating\/navigating \/ get from satelite could be little faster . but I be very satisfied for this price . I be go on a trip to NY tonight and we 'll see if it be really worth $ 300 or I should have pay couple extra for a better unit . -- Edited Nov 29 , 2005 . I come back from my trip to NY from DC . it be great . I lose signal in tunnel and in the middle of NY city , skyscraper , but it come back alive pretty quickly . I leave the unit zoom in , and it zoom out automatically when I be on highway go over 60mph . it zoom back in when I get off highway . Pretty neat . it also zoom in when I need to make turn or exit . the only issue i have be the map . it would be nice to be able to setup the map to show gasstation , restaurant , restarea , etc. . if I be look for mcdonald , I have to search and see map on every single mcdonald from the pous to see which one be on my way and not far from my route . another neat thing with pous be that they also provide phone number with address . no more 411 necessary . it be small enough to fit in my civic glovebox with the car adapter . I love it . +376 GPS NEG 1 the interface be difficult and not very intuitive to use . why SONY make thing so complicated be unknown to I . I be take it back to Radio Shack and exchange for a Garmin , I will gladly pay the difference and refurbish charge . +162 GPS NEG 1 con : slow to connect to satellite , poorly choose Recommended Routes , no easy way to browse map - surround area of direction . lifetime map do not work and online support be terrible at help - still not fix see the turn-by-turn list be several touch away . difficult and clumsy layout pro : Works . +824 GPS POS 4 Works great right out of the box without have to subscribe or download course information . I have use it in Northern California and Las Vegas and it be very accurate . the device really come in handy if you ever find yourself in another fairway and need a distance estimate . +809 GPS POS 5 well , not really pie but satelite gp . the Nuvi be easy to set-up and be up and run in a matter of minute . this be my first system so I have nothing to compare against . but we be totally happy with the purchase . it do what we expect . it could be a lousy marriage but we be happy . +133 GPS POS 5 bought year ago and until recently steal , have no problem whatsoever . a little slow on the start up , but no problem find address and reroute be fast +618 GPS NEG 1 this be junk , just like every piece of technology . the map do not update and it can not locate major city or street . use a compass and map , the never fail system . +912 GPS POS 5 I absolutely love this watch . I be a little nervous about buy it after read some bad review but I be soooo glad I buy it . it be true , it take some time to acquire the satellite signal but I have not experience a drop in the signal . the GPS be very accurate . I map my route before run and when the watch say I be do ... I be do ! you can set it to let you know when you reach certain distance . I have mine beep every mile and it help my run along . also , I love breakdown it do , on the computer and the actual watch . base on you setting it let 's you know what you pace be for each interval , you average heart rate , and you max heart rate . another plus be that it be very easy to load my run from my forerunner 305 to my -lrb- ... -rrb- profile . and base on the information you can plot different part of you run against each other . I must say I just love this watch and you should definitely get one !!! +923 GPS NEG 1 about a week after I purchase my Handspring Visor I buy the Magellan GPS . my first reaction be `` the instruction for the battery be wrong ? '' as you know , in most aa battery device , there be a spring on one side and a piece of metal on the other . generally you put the flat \/ negative -lrb- - -rrb- end of the battery against the spring and the small knobbed end of the battery against the battery . and in most of these case the battery will be in opposite direction to each other . this be where the GPS be unusual . although the battery do face in different direction , on one the batter negative\/flat side be against the spring , and on the other the spring be against the knobbed -lrb- + -rrb- end . not only be this counter-intuitive , it just look wrong . ok , so even though it be against my better judgment , I put the battery in as direct and it work . however , within one day -lrb- less than 2 hour use -rrb- it freeze my Visor whenever I connect it . I replace the battery and the same thing keep happen . I call tech support and they essentially tell I that `` there be something wrong with the GPS , it act like that when the battery be low '' but I try 3 set of new battery and get the same problem . they say I could return it for a refund and I send it back , only to get a e-mail that be a duplicate of the original shipping order . I think they have receive it and where ship it back to I ? so I call they again and they say that they have a problem with they refund confirmation , but that they do receive my return and I would be credit . another problem - the startup instruction state that the cd-rom include have a online manual - but that be only readable by pc - not for mac . I call tech support and they mail I a print version of the manual . I could not believe that they could not be bother to make a pdf version of the file that could be read by any computer use a free Adobe Acrobat reader . the file be easy enough to identify and load into my pda but I do not find it easy to use -lrb- this be before the manual arrive -rrb- . it be not intuitive and definitely more difficult to use than a map . individually any one of my above-mentioned complaint could have be tolerate -lrb- even send it back for repair\/refund -rrb- but all together I think if I be have these many problem so soon after buy it , how will it be after any length of time ? I have never purchase any other electronic device that have more problem within the first day of purchase . DO NOT BUY - wait until it there be a improve version that store the battery properly -lrb- I suspect that be where the power connection fail -rrb- and that have a better , easier to read -lrb- and universally readable by any machine -rrb- manual . +67 GPS POS 4 after acquire the Garmin Nuvi 360 lmt ; I have a chance to put it to the test immediately . I travel to Florida , Massachussets , Rhode Island , Pennsylvania and Maryland . so i put it to the test . the accuracy seem to be pretty good , I be please with it , only two time in the extensive use do it dissapoint and it be just a little bit . on one occassion in Rhode Island , try to locate my hotel , it tell I to make a right turn away from the hotel , and I need to make a right on the street to drive towards the hotel . although since I be amongst building the accuracy could have fail some in position . once I turn around , it do guide I closer , although it could never point to the hotel . the second time it fail be in Pennsylvania , I be locate a business address , and the road split in a y , the GPS tell I the address be on the right split to the right , instead of the left split to the left . the other time it be very accurate , specifically tell I if the address would be to the right or left of the direction I be head , and it be spot on every time . set-up be easy , not very difficult with Garmin product , although it do take a little bit to find some of the feature that be not as obvious . but since it be touch navigation , be fairly easy to explore . it be easy to recall past history of loaction previously find , and it have a traffic avoidance feature that I have not test yet . the size of the screen be good , and the graphic be sharp . it be easy to see when mount on the windshield , and the voice instruction be helpful . it do not come with a wall charger out of the box , which be a bit dissapointing . it only have a car charger , and a usb charger , that do not have a wall piece like the i-phone do . overall be a excellent product that do what it say , it will get you to where you want to go , accurately and fast . +860 GPS POS 5 the Nuvi 1490LMT be the perfect answer to the frustration of today 's driving . after 3 trip in the last week it have do exactly as advertise ... get I to my destination without hassle . I actually find the `` arrival time '' a great stress reliver for attend meeting on time . if it can get I around New York -lrb- in area totally foreign to I -rrb- without hassle ... it cetainly must be do it be job . big screen ... big find ! recommend highly ! +219 GPS POS 4 I be un able to load my phone book to it . it be there by itself once but leave ?? feature come and go by themself ??? instruction booklet be lack . other than the bluetooth issues-i love it . I get it to take the place of my Navigation system in my 2009 Honda Accord that be NOTY user friendly . Dan +257 GPS POS 4 very easy to use distance watch for tech challenge runner like I . I want a watch that be comfortable on the wrist , easy to see and even easier to calibrate . the 110 fit my need very well . have not use the heart rate monitor yet but that be just a ` nice ' to have , not ` need ' to have . I run along the beachfront and just want a gp product that give I basically time and distance . period . about the only I do not care for be the extra step and button I have to manipulate just to turn it off when the run be do . but if that be the extent of my discontent , then I be a happy camper . would recommend this particular gps-enabled watch in a heartbeat . +885 GPS POS 4 there be two type of trip on which a gp be useful . one be find a address you do not know in you own city : be this case it be best for the last mile , deliver you right to the address you need . the chance be that around you own home or office you 'll have a favorite route which be different to what the Garmin choose , so you just have to ignore it and let it recalculate , which it happily do . the second type of trip be a drive vacation . here this machine be at its best and worst . what be good : it will take you from wherever you be to you destination address in the next town or city on you itinerary , however many mile away . it will do so with speak word , include the name of street you be about to turn into . it will also take you to major attraction without you necessarily know they address . en route , you have a choice of view . I find that in town , where there be lot of turn , you want the classic 3d view , where the car -lrb- or arrow , you can change the symbol -rrb- be in the foreground and the street come towards you . cleverly , if you be sit on a wide view , the machine will cut to a close-up view automatically as a turn approach . on the open road , however , the 3d view be pretty meaningless and you want to switch to the North up view and touch the minus -lrb- - -rrb- sign a few time . with the North up view it be like look at a traditional map : if you be drive south-east , for example , the arrow or car symbol will be point to the bottom right . by zoom out , you give yourself perspective : you can see town and attraction situate a few mile in any direction . what be bad : it take a endless amount of touch to change the view from 3d to North up and back : definitely not safe unless you stop the car . also , and this be serious , for smaller town , either they do not bother gather local information about one-way street and other restriction , or the information they have be out of date . case in point , Natchez , Mississippi , a town where all major street be one way , alternately go in one direction or the other . the Garmin try , try and try again to send we down one way street in the wrong direction . when we -lrb- fortunately -rrb- notice and ignore it , it then recalculate to take we round the block and back on to the same one way street in the wrong direction . eventually we give up on it and find we own way out of town , thus negate the whole point of have a gp . there be other , less serious niggle : for example , if you just want to visit the downtown of a city , there seem no way to tell it that other than make up a fictional address : we find that most town have a 100 Jefferson St or Washington St. anyway , once you get use to it , the device be fun and most of the time useful . it be very small size mean you can not only easily travel with it , you can also remove it and take it in you pocket when you park you car . if you hate trail wire , the Garmin have several hour of battery life and can be recharge with any mini-usb charger , probably the same as you cellphone use . all in all I be glad to have it on vacation , but they really need to sort out the local information problem and build in the ability to create shortcut to favorite view . +87 GPS POS 4 I have use my TomTom a few time since purchase it , so not a lot of experience . it be most helpful on the road , but do have some street name and address that be in error . I have issue try to get the lifetime map code to activate - it take several try with error message to get it to take . the download of the new map be very slow , until I move to a faster wifi spot , and then when it do download and install it would not work - problem at TomTom 's end . I be wait for a good 1\/2 hour on the phone for support before be help . I have find that use online support be a much better way to get tech support and question answer . the reply I receive , and step that be detail in the email , be most helpful . for the price pay , I really like the unit ... especially the idea of Lifetime Maps . hopefully the unit will lead a long life , to take advantage of those update : -rrb- +916 GPS NEG 1 it stop work 2 day after the Amazon return window close . I also do not like the way you have to plug you cable in `` upside down '' . +888 GPS NEU 3 we be use this gp unit to measure we horse ride . the display be a bit difficult to read while ride . the documentation clarify very little and be not in depth at all . scroll through the various mode can be tedious . it do keep track of avg speed and max speed . we have yet to figure out how to easily start a new lap . they could do a lot more to make the interface and documentation more user friendly . +622 GPS NEG 1 do not receive sat better than my internal Ipad gp switch on alone in a pocket almost impossible to swith off , the touch switch off system do not work properly +944 GPS NEU 3 the Garmin Deluxe carry case for Street pilot be well make , but be too small to accomodate much other than the basic Street pilot . if you want a bag large enough to hold the Street pilot 2720 plus accessory such as dash board pad , 12-volt adapter , and A\/C adapter , you may want another bag . +956 GPS NEU 3 this be my third TomTom . they have all be pretty good . this latest one have a great screen . the magnetic mount be a little hard to get use to , I be not completely there yet , but it do hold the device securely . the lane assist be very good . as I say I have have 2 other TomTom 's and 1 Garmin . I prefer the TomTom over the Garmin in most category except one . the point of interest feature of the TomTom really stink . the Garmin be far superior in this respect . navigate the pous menu on the TomTom be tedious , confusing , and when you give up and decide to spell what you be look for it `` can not be find '' . I sit in front of a Kohl 's department store and search for it and TomTom could not find it . in another instance it send I to another state , by ferry boat , to a Walmart , when there be one right down the road . buy the TomTom be a no-brainer because of the lifetime map and traffic feature but I see now where other be start to offer this also . overall this be a nice device but if when travel the pous feature be important to you I can not recommend this product . if you be look for a device to simply get you there efficiently this may be for you . +270 GPS POS 5 I be a Realtor , so I be always go to new place , and down street that I be unfamiliar with . I guess you could say that on any give day i be show 8 different house in different location . no problem , I just punch in where I want to go and I be there , easy . I 'll break down some of my likes vs. dislike : like : - when I be sit in traffic , I can either hit the detour and it will pick a new route - or I can just look at the overview of the GPS mapping itself , and look for parallel side street . - there be nothing I hate more as a realtor than have the street sign miss for a street . not a problem anymore ! rain , snow , nighttime , I can always see the street come up on the unit , too . I do not have to squint to see the upcoming street sign -lrb- my eye be horrible -rrb- . - if you miss a turn on you program route , the unit will automatically refresh with the best new route . - if I be in a county over from I , I can pull up food , gas , ATM 's , hotel , etc. and it will find the closest one , or I can search by name . - the unit show you you speed , distance to you destination , distance you have go , minute sit idle -lrb- in traffic -rrb- , avg . mile per hour for the trip , and destination time . the destination time be important to I when I have to be at a meeting ... I 'll know how long it will take I to get there , and it be pretty accurate . - it will give you a voice command to `` turn right in 300 ft '' , or `` turn right and then stay leave '' for example . Easy to hear . - I always drive with little fuel -lrb- I be always on ` e ' -rrb- . I love push the fuel icon and it list all the nearest gas station and they distance , location , and phone number -lrb- call for fuel price if bore on a trip -rrb- . it will also map for you how to get there . - it also have , ATM 's , restaurant -lrb- you can search by ` type ' of food - and it will have phone # 's -rrb- , or you can just punch in the letter - like WALMART for example . - no problem lock onto satellite , in any type of weather . - it have a internal battery , so when you turn you car off to put gas in , it 'll stay on & keep you current destination on . - want to stay on MAIN road in unfamiliar territory ? go to ` option ' and tell the unit you be a semi-truck instead of a car . - the quickest route be the default , but you can switch to shortest -lrb- in mile -rrb- . dislike : - I wish it would tell you when to turn a little earlier . it normally tell you to turn left or turn right in 300ft , but this may be difficult in heavy traffic . - do not give x axis or y axis coordinate . no altitude , either . - you have to take it out of you car when you park -lrb- or lock in glove box -rrb- everywhere you go , so it will not get steal . of course this would be a drawback for any portable unit . be you really go to find a unit that do all of this for under $ 300 ? I have search for the last 3 month and have not find a better unit for the price . +838 GPS POS 5 I have never own a gp before . since my sense of direction be not always the greatest , I decide a gp might be the answer . this model be suggest by a friend . I take it on a trip to Clearwater Beach in Florida . it be a life saver . it save many argument between my husband , who refuse to ask for direction , and myself . we be able to find place of interest in a timely and efficient manner . the unit be fairly easy to program and the large screen be a plus . it be a great time saver . do not know how I live without it ! +126 GPS POS 5 I be a fan of the Hertz Magellan Neverlost system , but the bi-modal review of the Magellan Systems give the impression that there be prodcution quality issue . next , I be go to go for the Garmin 2720 . it can be fit with dead reckoning , but need wiring to the car . review make I realize , my main reason for buy a gp be not to use on my car , but on business trip and hence rental car . so portability be key , and the Nuvi have the best form factor . to lug a 2720 -lrb- with laptop , file etc -rrb- on business trip would make thing just the bit more heavy . in addition to the good point give by other reviewer , I must say the mount be excellent . it stick well and because the Nuvi be so light , the mount do not have a lot to do to stick there . also , the cigarette lighter power can cleverly be plug straight into the mount and not the unit . to mount the Nuvi , you have only to flip the antenna up -lrb- activate the gp -rrb- and clip it on . it power up straight away . then , when you get out , all you have to do , be press a small clasp release on the mount and out pop the Nuvi . it even switch itself off after 30 seconds . you can also put the Nuvi in `` search mode '' . while drive on the free way look for food or lodging , you only have to press `` where to '' and then press say `` lodging '' . the Nuvi give you a list of hotel , motel , hostel near you . it also provide distance and arrow show whether they be ahead or behind you current position . the list update itself every few minute as you move along . see something you like ? just press it and the `` go '' button and Nuvi take you there . it be a life saver when we be travel long distance late at night and need somewhere convenient to stay . finally , this be one gadget that my wife love . when on holiday , she invariably end up the navigator . its stressful for she and thing get heat up when I make a wrong turn require difficult new instruction on what to do . Nuvi have change all that . she just sleep through , as the Nuvi announce its `` recalculate '' the route . but indeed , you don `` t get a map which you can load on you pc , there be apparently no way to plan\/alter route on the Nuvi prior to make a trip or to keep a record of you trip . Garmin have be excellent in address user feedback , so I be hopeful . BTW , I do not use the other function such as mp3\/calculator and would prefer the functionality on the GPS be improve rather than these function . but that be just I since I still use a pda . +514 GPS NEG 1 purchase this print server and a compatible HP printer assume it should be simple to hook up . while I be not a computer geek , I set my cable wireless modem and three other computer - all interconnect wirelessly . after download the latest firmware and installation software , I spend three hour attempt to get the print server to communicate with the printer . despite my best effort , I could only communicate to the print server via usb . print server do not even show up on the home network . assume I must have overlook a important step , I contact , via email , Netgear tech support . the extent of they support in to send the same set on instruction - it be clearly evident that one one actually read my email . follow the instruction to the letter - several time over but to no avail . I finally send a email thank they for they support but I be throw the server away and send a copy of the email trail to they ceo Pat Lo . receive another form email say how they regret when bad thing happen to they best customer and they hope to do better next time I purchase a Netgear boat anchor . after spend over six hour work on this miserable device , it do feel liberating when I toss it in the can . +560 GPS POS 4 I like the Legend a lot . it be perfect for geo-caching which be why I buy it . much easier to use and enter coordinate than the yellow model . map feature be nice even without the software program option . my only complaint be that the computer cable be a outdated serial port adapter , but my -lrb- and probably you -rrb- computer use usb connector . it be work well for I on all of my adventure and be very easy to use . the instruction manual be helpful and there be many feature I have not even use yet . so far so good . I love the product and you can not beat the price on Amazon ! +340 GPS POS 5 the Nuvi 350 be small enough to carry around yet large and clear enough to use in the car . it be easy to use , direction be excellent and give vocal alert about upcome turn in plenty of time to make they , a feature not fond on some large install unit . I highly recommend it because it do a incredible excellent job and a reasonable price . +206 GPS NEU 3 I really like this item - it be easy to put together , be very sturdy and work with both my gp and smart phone . unfortunately the dashboard of my car be curved - and in sharp turn the autodashmount fall right off . I think if my dashboard have a flat spot , it would be perfect . but as it be , the best I can give it be 3 star . +437 GPS NEU 3 a pesar de que tiene buenas aplicaciones , el tama & ntilde ; o e perfecto , el mismo no viene con la aplicacion que te mide la distancia total de recorrido , ademas de que dura mucho tiempo recibiendo la se & ntilde ; al de lo satelite , pienso que hubiera sido mejor comprar el streetpilot c330 . El uso de la rueda es un poco complicado cuando ya se esta en marcha , hay que practicamente detenerse para poder ir a la aplicacion deseada . Por esas razones es que le doy 3 estrella +303 GPS POS 5 a step up from we previous Nuvi , this Garmin get it right again . we have love we Garmin and loan it out to family member for they trip , and they all say the same . Garmin have a great product , and with `` Lifetime Maps and Traffic '' with this model , we have a unit that will last we for many , many year . download all of the stuff do take a while , but I have already expect that - so it be no surprise . Worth the wait in my opinion not to have to pull over and look through a map or trust someone els `` turn leave by the big brown house '' direction . thanks Garmin !!! +369 GPS POS 5 Great GPS ! it do everything it claim to do . it `` recalculate '' when I make wrong turn and\/or hit construction and do not give up until I be head in the correct direction towards my destination . +636 GPS POS 5 I own 3 gp , one garmin , one tomtom 910 and since yesterday a 510 . I use the garmin on the trail and the jeep , and my 910 have be with I for a couple of month cruise Europe and North America . I buy the 510 , because it be cheap and also base on my experience with the 910 . my wife want a gp in she car so I order it , in 5 min at work ... then , a couple of day later , while wait for the item , I start read the review and be stun by some of the negative comment ; 2 possibility , either I buy a lemon , or some people have no idea of what they be buy or how to operate a basic electronic device -lrb- like have the 12.00 flash on they VCR -rrb- ... after own the 510 for 10 day , I now believe that some people should stick to paper map ! pro : setup : 20 min , include download the update , and set up the bracket on the windshield of my wife car . navigate the menu be a breeze . reliability : perfect . not one reboot ... the 510 will even navigate through some forest trail in the mountain . pous : plentiful enough ... Bluetooth : synch it with my blackberry pearl the FIRST TIME !!! con : none so far ... +651 GPS NEU 3 the product be present as new which ment thirty day free map up-date , but when I try to update be tell it expire . +411 GPS POS 4 First of all , the 5 '' screen do the trick for I . Amazon offer it for 200 when best buy have it for 279 and Frys Electronics for 250 . I have not get to use all the feature yet , but do just hook up the bluetooth for my phone . only thing I be have problem with be get more accents\/languages on my gp , I put a 4gb micro sd card in it and still can not get the extra space for they to fit . probably just need to work at it more , but otherwise this gp make my day , be that I just move to a new major city . thank you Garmin ! P.S. . if you go to Garmin 's website they have a application you can download and have you own voice give you direction after record many word and sentence . I 'll get a girlfriend of mine to put she voice on there though . Garmin ... get Cartman 's voice , Keifer Southerland , dane Cook , Etc. . voice file ! +745 GPS NEG 1 I purchase the TomTom XXL when it be a Lightning Deal , so I make the mistake of order quickly instead of take time to read all the review . I admit , I get suck in by the low price . well , you get what you pay for . the unit be deliver , the instruction say to just plug it into you computer and tomtomhome will start automatically . I plug in the usb cable and my computer recognize the GPS as a external drive , but that be it . nothing happen . I find the file and install manually , and tomtomhome start up . it immediately want to update the software and map , which be exactly why I would plug it in , so I tell it to go ahead . the software update , but I get a error say that there be not enough space for the map update . so I copy the old map to my computer -lrb- which the software be obviously design to do -rrb- and then install the new map . everything seem to be fine , except that it take literally \* hour \* to install the new map even with my high speed connection . everything seem fine , so I eject the unit , shut down the software , and turn on the unit . no map find . that be it , just a white screen that say `` no map find . '' so I plug it back in and try to find the problem HOME say my map need to be activate . okay , so I click activate and enter my promotion code . I get a little green check mark say that I have enter the correct code . I click the button , and I get a xml error . I try at least a dozen time , no luck , xml error . the error message actually say that my code be correct , but they can not activate my map . I go hunting around online for a solution and discover that this have be a ongoing issue since at least 2004 , and TomTom apparently see no reason why they should fix the problem \* or \* stop advertise that they product be Mac compatible when they clearly be not . I pack it back up in the box and print out a return authorization . my new Garmin Nuvi should be deliver tomorrow . I 'll never buy another TomTom product . +966 GPS POS 5 I buy to use in my adventure in Patagonia -lrb- treking in Toores del Paine and El Chalten -rrb- with my girlfriend , and it survive all weather -lrb- and help we survive too ! -rrb- . +index Domain Label Rating Review +68 GPS POS 4 overall this have nice feature and easy to use . have good battery life and the only thing I wish that be better be the map feature show you course . other wise I be very happy with my purchase +541 GPS POS 5 I love it . the screen be large , the voice clear . it warn I a little in advance before a turn come up . overall I be completely satisfy with it . +182 GPS POS 5 very complete map and million of pous . search function on the Garmin 60 CSX be very intuitive , better than my car navigation system . this will make you hike gp device just as functional for driving\/walking anywhere . +936 GPS POS 4 a gp without map software be like a computer with no operating system . City Navigator definitely make life easier and if you get the 2gb microsd -lrb- transflash -rrb- memory card , you can load the entire dvd of north american map -lrb- about 1.6 gb -rrb- . I be a little surprised , however , that even with the new version 8 I be find several innacuracy -lrb- road and poi -rrb- . I realize that old road be change and new road be build and business come and go . but Garmin charge about $ 130 for the City Nav NA v8 and about $ 100 for the upgrade . I just think that for as much money as you spend on the unit , case , power adapter , mount , memory card and the map , you should at least be able to get update free for a period of time . in my mind , that be equivalent to a motherboard manufacturer provide firmware update for a couple of year . anyway , the cost of maintain current map and innacuracy be why I give it 4 instead of 5 star . +960 GPS POS 5 I purchase this unit for my wife -lrb- a real-estate agent -rrb- . I do a lot of comparision and read a ton of review on GPS unit , leave money out of the picture I focus on two thing that she needs\/uses on a daily basis . itinerary -lrb- multiple address -rrb- and two possible saftey feature . this allow up to 10 address for a itinerary that she can rank in she order , this be probably the main reason . Second be safety , this have a buddy system , which allow another tomtom owner to see where you be . now we have not use this or test it yet , but it do have some capability for I to track the device -lrb- will do in the future -rrb- . I could not find any other device that allow any sort of tracking\/locating . so this win out . the device work great , she love it . we use it for two vacation and it work flawless , do not give I the route I want to take for we trip to N.C. -lrb- which no gp unit would have be able to do , because I go a specific route -rrb- , but be still extremely helpful . for we other vacation , I have no clue where I be go and it do a perfect job . it do not say street name , but that be a preference that make no difference . for the money it be perfect , and I really do not see any other reason to purchase a more expensive model , do not need another mp3 player or photo viewer . I would have gladly spend more if it be need , but I need GPS for a real-estate agent , and I could not find anything that be better than the tom tom one v2 . -lrb- I be not consider buy the v3 -rrb- thanks to all who take the time to leave a review it help I tremendously ! +150 GPS POS 5 wonder what Patrick be talk about . the product be launch less than 6 month ago . Patrick say he warranty expire ... and complain about the short one year warranty . sorry Patrick ... but the math do not make yours a credible story . I own this product and love it . Matt +693 GPS POS 5 Came in time for Christmas ! do not include trail software , though . that must be purchase separately . +22 GPS POS 5 I have a Nuvi 660 whose speaker fail and so I need a new GPS . after research on Amazon review , I decide that the 1450 be a good choice , and much cheaper than my prior model . I be delighted to find that I could copy my address book to the new device and so I do not lose\/have-to-reenter all of my address . I absolutely love the larger screen !! ... and the louder voice !!! I have not attempt to turn on the traffic info , as we travel be mostly interstate , and the review give poor rating to this aspect . I absolutely love the way it display numerous lane and tell I , visually , which lane to be in !! my son want a gp and I recommend this model to he and he , too , have be very happy with it . +116 GPS POS 5 the tom tom xxl 550tm be the best gp i have own . I like the custom voice and icon for you vehicle . the price can not be beat for a 5 inch lifetime traffic and map for only 119.00 . what be you wait for , buy one now you will not be disappoint . +704 GPS POS 5 I be the owner of several Garmin product and they never disapoint I . buy through Amazon be a pleasure . +915 GPS NEG 1 the product you purchase today may not be what you eventually end up with . TomTom have a habit of `` upgrade '' the gp with feature they think you want . this be do by remove feature you have come to use and like . for example , the original gp I purchase have a auto-zoom feature in 2d map mode , so as you approach a turn , it would zoom in on the map . this be very helpful when two street be close together . now this only work in 3d mode which I find useless . they also take away the direction of travel associate with the compass -lrb- n , s , w , se , etc. -rrb- . now you have to figure it out by look at a little blue arrow that spin around . expect to spend a long wait time on the phone for customer service and have they tell you `` well , that be the way it work now '' . +700 GPS POS 5 this unit be nicely price and well equip . most everyone can pick it up and start use the interface with no more trouble than a ipod -lrb- parent and neighbor include -rrb- . it do not take much space in you car , but if you want to remove from the vehicle often , the Nuvi 's be thinner with bigger screen , but cost more . this be a fantastic navigational aid on trip . do not buy it if you want to go off road or into deep wood , but everyone else will love it . +934 GPS POS 4 . . be that the heartrate appear in very small font at the right corner which make it impossible to read when run . there be no disply option that I have find that would allow I to look at the heartrate in a bigger font screen center . I think they try to fix this in a later model . bummer ! overall , I like this product . +388 GPS POS 5 this be my third Tom Tom and be a replacement for one I lose . I have always be happy with the feature and accuracy of the arrival time . the route select generally be the optimal route as best as I can tell . the battery life be not great but I only use it in the car and it be always plug in . +589 GPS POS 5 the gp work great . kudos to Garmin for design it to use a universal mini-usb to power and connect to a computer . a universal cell phone car charger use the mini-usb power this baby . Powers off the usb when connect to a computer too . bummer about the lousy base map provide with the unit . +397 GPS POS 4 this nuvus have same `` problem '' as my old one from 5-6 year ago . to the lay person it appear it can not charge and run at the same time -lrb- ie : plug it in for charge-up and it stop mapping -rrb- . turn out it can sense specifically where it be get it be 12 vdc . if it be from a REAL usb port -lrb- like on a laptop -rrb- , it shut down however if its from another 12 vdc source through the supply usb cable it be ok . I 'll bet my old one have the same issue but Garmin only tell I the shutdown be not normal and\/or I must be mistaken ! +543 GPS POS 5 simple setup , and work without a hitch with my canon ip4300 . have a mixed environment of window 7 and xp computer print in less than 15 min . +779 GPS POS 5 Garmin nuvi 350 3.5-inch portable GPS Navigator it have some nice extra , like a audio book reader , a photo viewer -lrb- do not use -rrb- , & a mp3 player -lrb- have not use yet -rrb- . but the basic mapping and trip planning be accurate , easy to follow , easy to program , with clear graphic . I have have it cut out briefly in isolate mountain area , but that be unavoidable -- it last a lot longer than my cell phone ! I highly recommend Garmin , and the nuvus 350 in particular . +241 GPS POS 5 I absolutely love the c340 . I do not understand some of the critic of this because mine be exactly what I would hope for and expect . the detour function be awsome . no glare issue . we 'll see how it endure , but out of the box it work as advertise . a few month later , it have take trip from tn to MI to CA to Vancouver and back . it help bypass problem area and find great place to eat\/stay as well as point of interest along the way . signal be always strong , as far as I could tell . there may be more highspeed feature other need out there ; but for the money and simplify ease , this be perfect . +566 GPS POS 4 unit do a good job with direction . on trip , time compute be way off and correct too slowly . for the price the 510 be a good purchase . +784 GPS NEG 1 I purchase this in Sept 2011 . work ok to begin with . then it start freezing up , but I could cut it off and it would get ok . on 2\/23\/2012 , it freeze up again while down town Detroit and I try to get out of that city . this be just a piece of junk . it be still freeze up and I will probably purchase some other type of GPS . I would not reccomend anyone waste they money on a GARMIN . +279 GPS POS 5 the Garmin i3 be exactly what I be look for in a GPS unit ... small , easy to use , reliable and accurate . the StreetPilot software be simple to install on my pc and be current up to about 2005 . I notice some store and restaurant over a year old be not available . however , you can download Points of interest from various 3rd party internet site to update some missing location . if you plan on travel throughout the US I would suggest purchase a larger memory card . the supply 128mb card will only hold about 7-10 state map . overall I be very pleased with my purchase . +278 GPS NEG 1 we buy this for my teenage son , who be want to know how far he would run each day . after 2 month , he have be able to use it 3 time . it will not keep a charge . I charge it and by the next time he want to use it , it be not charge anymore . and of course , when I go to see about return it , Amazon say that we can not because the return window be go . not good . still have to get in touch with customer service , and hopefully they can give I some guidance for use it and a way to keep the charge . +180 GPS POS 5 I be reluctant to pay more money , consider I see other price hundred less . I recently move to a new state , and need something short of hijack a local to get around . I like to expandability of this middle of the road model . I especially like the portability of it , that I can carry it in my pocketbook or mount it on the car . although I find turn it on take a few hard push on the button-but it still be a great device . it have prove itself especially in traffic when I hit the detour button . it be well worth the money !!! +349 GPS POS 5 this be my first gp . I have no desire to see any other . I have do the due diligence and research before decide to purchase the Garmin 1300 with lifetime map update . it be the easiest device to use and have find it very reliable get I to my destination . Garmin could do a better marketing job to let customer know what include with the purchase . I be thrill I have purchase the `` best '' product on the market . I never feel like I do not know where I be go ! good product at a good price . Voice feature be loud and clear enough to understand even with music playing at a pretty high volume ... overall could not be happier with my NUVI Charging be the issue i encounter on a road trip . if Nuvi be in direct sunlight it wont charge and the battery drain . still not a problem . if on a long trip in the sun turn it off for a spell to save the life of battery . +586 GPS POS 5 I purchase this for my 1490t but lose it in like a week . its a good product especially the side pocket on the side . I would just purchase another one at a local store for cheaper tho . it would save you some real $ $ $ +294 GPS NEG 1 be sell as a accessory but it be not need because there be one already include in the gp box . return it . +985 GPS POS 4 have only give the unit limited use , but quite pleased so far . good feature . like compact size . Easy control . good visuals\/audio . well design . +290 GPS POS 5 purchase this for my wife , who have trade in a vehicle with built-in navigation for a new vehicle that do not offer a built-in option . I have also have several vehicle with built-in navigation , include BMW , Mercedes-Benz , Audi , and Lexus . from a performance perspective , the Nuvi 350 work every bit as well as the built-in unit and at a very low price -lrb- comparitively -rrb- . the only `` nit '' that I can pick be : 1 . -rrb- I wish the navigation announcement could be louder - they can easily be drown out by radio or cd , and unlike built-in system the Nuvi can not interrupt the audio . 2 . -rrb- the power cord should be on a retract reel , like many accessory for laptop computer . as it be , the long cord be a little clumsy . but overall , the Nuvi 350 be a winner . +253 GPS POS 4 the i3 be great for whatever you need be . the screen be quite small but it do the job . Great for travel and slapping in a rental car . +292 GPS POS 5 the Garmin nuvus 350 be a great gp for the money . it be very easy to use and have great feature . we buy it to give to we oldest son as he be leave for college , which give we peace of mind as parent . I highly recommend it . Dan -lrb- Kansas City , MO -rrb- +703 GPS POS 4 I be very happy with this garmin 110 and although early day it do exactly everything I need of it . I intentionally purchase this model garmin for its simplisity and that exactly what I have get . no super flash add-on , it do exactly what I want it to do and that be ; log my run , provide my pace , and provide the distance I have run - easy . very simple to use and so far I have have no problem with the ` clamp ' connection for charge and pc download . yes it can be a bit fiddely but be not difficult . all in all fantastic and I wish I have purchase one much earlier in my run life . +54 GPS NEG 2 I just return the second Garmin 1450lmt which arrive without any user 's manual . it do have a `` Quick Start Guide '' , but this be inadequate to explain the function of the unit . Amazon try for 15 minute to contact Garmin and then give up . +237 GPS POS 5 ok , this be my first GPS unit , so I have nothing else with which to compare it . we have just use it for the first time and be very impressed . we live in a very small subdivision out in the country in central Arizona . the TomTom recognize we home location and direct we faultlessly to a destination in Phoenix . as we move along the Interstate , it show all of the cross road and exit number as we approach they . it know the speed limit and the speed we be travel -lrb- talk about Eye in the sky ! -rrb- . it give a arrival time , number of mile to destination , and number of mile to next turn . it announce the turn clearly use street name . despite this , the pilot take the wrong exit -lrb- `` c '' instead of `` b '' - he fault , not the unit 's -rrb- and the TomTom immediately begin give clear instruction to the destination from we new unplanned position . you can ask it `` where be I '' and it tell you in term of street and city and also show the latitude and longitude . the screen map even show little insignificant dirt road lead off the state highway , which could be important if one need to pull off the road . you can also call up point of interest - restaurant ; gas , police , and fire station ; medical facility and hospital and much more . the restaurant information for the town nearest we home be a bit outdated , as several place have close or change name . there be a emergency button to press - I do not know what it actually do , but if I ever have a emergency , I 'll let you know . the next test will be on a yard sale adventure and I 'll find out how well it do find house address in small town . if there be a problem , I 'll update the review . the TomTom do not play music or show family picture . it be strictly a gp unit with a touch screen and that be exactly what I want . I be very pleased with this purchase . +175 GPS NEG 1 I and my gp go to yellowstone i be lose most of the tine garmin 1450 go to hell +928 GPS POS 5 I use to have the Tomtom one , with a 4.3 '' screen . I get this one for the larger screen . the software have many improvement , but be essentially the same . what I really like be the red light camera notification the map update service and the traffic info . if you like earlier Tomtoms , this be a great upgrade . +351 GPS POS 5 we be very happy with we purchase and the price be right ! there be a couple of glitch with the map but that be probably a satellite problem . for instance ... it seem to think we house be on the leave when it be actually on the right . then I use it to go to a newer area of we town and none of those street be in the satellite . that will probably happen sooner or later . I purchase a 2 gig SanDisk for $ 35 in order to download the entire United States . the system come with a 128 mb . +743 GPS POS 5 I delay buy the 305 because I really want a gp watch that could report cadence . I consider the Polar rs800g3 , but it be more than twice the price and not as easy to use . I consider wait for the Forerunner 405 , but I be start a new season and do not want to change run log mid-season . so , I buy the 305 for less than $ 220 and add the foot pod -lrb- $ 80 -rrb- a week later . I plan on use the foot pod for indoor workout . my first run with it be on the treadmill . although the distance report differ slightly , it be fairly close without calibration . when I download the datum to my computer , I be surprise that it have record cadence ! but I pessimistically assume that it would not work when the gp be in use . my next run be outdoors , and to my surprise the 305 record cadence and gp distance at the same time ! I be even able to change the display to show cadence during my run . that be how easy it be to configure ! this watch greatly exceed my expectation ! I strongly recommend it for any serious endurance athlete ! +526 GPS POS 5 we have have this for about a month now . use it on a few local trip and a vac out west . Works well . Works even better when you have a idea on where you be go to start with so you can bypass some of the recommend side cut . Easy to configure , easy to setup trip , easy to find local restaurant , fuel , etc. . overall , we like the gp and look fwd to continue use . I have gp functionality on my Blackberry -lrb- Tour -rrb- , but come on ... this Nuvi have a 5 '' screen that I can see across the room . db +901 GPS NEG 2 the description say '' ... you TomTom EASE guide you door-to-door with turn-by-turn speak instruction INCLUDING STREET NAMES . '' it do NOT speak street name . this be word so carefully so as to cover they ass but it be deceptive . +157 GPS POS 4 I will apologize for the long review to follow -lrb- I usually try to keep it to one screen -rrb- . over the past three year I have use three different gp unit from three different manufacturer . I think a side by side comparison might be useful . the technology continue to advance , as do the feature set offer in the way of traffic reporting\/rerouting and map update , so I will try to stick the general feature set\/usability of each unit unless it pertain to a feature that I can not see buy a gp without . the three GPS unit be a Motorola Motonav TN765T , TomTom XL 350TM and Garmin Nuvi 760 . Motorola Motonav TN765T pro : \* best screen resolution of the three \* fast trip calculation\/recalculation and voice input or destination be a great feature \* best overall display and on screen information content pertain to speed , direction , etc. . - light weight - plenty of expansion feature -lrb- at a cost -rrb- - 2d or 3d map render - phone Bluetooth integration be easy to setup - satellite lock be fast and stable con : - the mount be wonderfully articulate , so that you can mount and adjust it to you heart 's content , but it vibrates\/jiggles constantly in my car so that it make it hard to read the display - Motorola decide to place a couple of control on the back of the unit , and I find that I be constantly trigger they while adjust the unit - can you say advertisement ? I know you could - traffic information be often slow to load or incorrect -lrb- either I be already fifteen minute into a delay when it finally load , or it report a delay on a stretch of highway that be completely open -rrb- , but the TomTom and Garmin be no better - use with Bluetooth next to useless , even with the top up and window close my Miata be too noisy to make this usable -lrb- all of these gp unit rate the same in this respect , so I will not bother to repeat this -rrb- - limited map update -lrb- I think it be 6 month or less -rrb- - the accompany software never work successfully on my Windows 7 64bit system -lrb- maybe they have remedy this by now , at the time Windows 7 have just come out and Motorola be apparently not concern as they support personnel never respond to my contact -rrb- TomTom XL 350TM pro : \* lifetime map update be very nice -lrb- update be restricted to quarterly -rrb- - interface be easy to navigate \* traffic monitor include -lrb- no ad or expiration -rrb- -lrb- however , it be still often wrong -rrb- \* plenty of poi , many available via download -lrb- on the con side , the parent company do not seem to maintain these pous list or the accompany graphic , go figure , you would think that Starbucks and McDonald 's would want you to know just where to find all of they location and be able to readily identify they from the little icon -rrb- - map color modification , though I have not be able to get it to look just like the Garmin , which I find to be the best of the bunch in they default setting - I like the on screen information content , the essential be there , but the Motorola rule this feature - accompany software work well con : - mount bracket be good but not great , I get the least vibration , but it often break loose on I , such that I need to verify the ring be rotate fully clockwise -lrb- a simple lock mechanism would have be a great addition -rrb- - I have be bite a couple of time by allow the unit to reroute I past delay , beware that it do not monitor surface street traffic -lrb- I try to bypass the local fair highway traffic only to have it reroute I onto the surface street that wind directly past the fair turn a 30 minute delay into a 90 minute delay -rrb- - satellite lock be often slow to connect when the unit be turn on , especially in cloudy weather and can lose lock if the weather be poor - limited set of downloadable voice and vehicle avatar -lrb- unless you be willing to pay -rrb- Garmin Nuvi 760 pro : \* simplest interface , intuitive , require little or no documentation to get start use the device \* the mount bracket be by far the most secure with the least vibration and the easiest to fasten and remove the unit - best set of downloadable feature from voice to vehicle avatar , most free - accompany software work well con : - no map update - 3 month free traffic information , then you pay to subscribe to the free information -lrb- I see that both of these item be available in the newer version of the Garmin product -rrb- - while I prefer the default color scheme of the Garmin , the overall graphic display on this devise be below the minimal display I would expect from a GPS now overall impression : I find the Garmin to be the easiest to use and I notice that the current version include many of the feature that I find preferable in the other manufacturer 's model . I currently use the TomTom as the most functional of the unit that I currently own , however , if I be to buy a new unit at this time , I would opt for a Garmin base upon my experience with the above unit . p - -rrb- +862 GPS POS 5 we really love the RoadMate 1700 . we have a 2009 Buick with a navigation system in it and it be very incompetent compare to the RoadMate 1700 . we have a rv that it be great in , but you will need the long window mount for a rv . we also have a jeep Wrangler we use it in . we even use it in we Buick instead of the built-in one . it far exceed we expectation . we expect it to be about like the Buick 's system , but I can not stress more how much better this be . +625 GPS POS 5 to echo the comment of other satisfied customer , this be what runner have be wait for . a meaningful -lrb- and accurate ! -rrb- speedometer for runner !! I have use this product several time , in a variety of condition and have only receive the weak signal alarm once -lrb- and that be with tree cover and significant terrain -rrb- . while other reviewer have opt to wear the unit on they upper arm , I wear it like a watch and have not have problem . I like the fact that this unit be significantly smaller than the Bodylink unit and be contain in a single unit . the accuracy be amazing . over a 3.5 mile partially wood trail , the Forerunner differ from a post mileage marker 0.04 mile . on a 25-mile open road bicycle ride , the Forerunner differ from my cyclometer by 0.1 mile -lrb- I assume that the cyclometer need calibration -rrb- . the ability to load new firmware be a powerful feature of the Forerunner . I upgrade to the latest version upon receive the unit . the process take a few minute and add several new feature . one of the new feature , interval training , be well lay out and easy to customize . one noticeable downside be no auto-shutoff . while the battery life be advertise at 14 hour , I accidentally leave it on in my briefcase and drain the battery . I hope they fix this in future firmware version . if you be a casual runner who want to log a couple of hour a week or you be look for a unit to do navigation or geo-caching , look elsewhere . but if you want to keep meticulous track of you mileage and hold to a detailed training plan , the Forerunner be invaluable . +851 GPS NEG 1 I test this on several different usb device -lrb- Apple stuff , gp , bluetooth -rrb- and in two different car just to make sure . it do not charge any of 'em - neither charge port work . +20 GPS POS 5 after a lot of research I settle on the c530 for the price . I be terrible with direction , and get lose a lot so this be begin to be a necessary purchase . this gp be great ! the screen be easy to see , and the auto-adjust mode be really helpful . this gp have a amazingly long battery life - mine have be go strong for over 5 hour . I have not try update the map , and since I buy a refurbish unit some map be outdate , but in general I have not have any trouble with it . I honestly can not say anything negative about the c530 . for what I pay I have be extremely pleased . +223 GPS POS 5 my first GPS , which I get because I would be drive in Italy , and believe I , and my rental car passenger , this turn out to be a life-saver . we would have miss a hundred turn -lrb- the round-about be especially hard to navigate by eyesight alone , as they sometimes have several exit with small or no sign that whiz by in this italian mixmaster traffic -rrb- , and some rural location , like b&b; s , be simply off the marked road . enter a town , road or street and a number , and it 'll take you there , or if it do not have one , punch in coordinate from the host . also , after read some review of other gpss , I be surprise to see how well the unit perform in city in pedestrian mode , regardless of high building , as the `` Hotfix '' feature quickly pick up any lose signal -lrb- this be true even in longish tunnel in northern Italy -rrb- . the four-hour battery be great for out-of-vehicle use . also , review for other model complain how long it take to get satellite fix and map load on arrival in the foreign country , but this gp get they up in about a minute . the Italy map be very detailed and the restaurant\/points of interest\/fuel stop nearby feature very quick and accurate . conversion from mph to KPH be simple and the many other feature be easy and intuitive , too . I be not a techie at all , but I can use this device very well . one more thing : tech service . I get help for update map because I be not very technical , and a very nice and helpful agent be on the phone with I in less than 5 minute . +565 GPS POS 5 I be so pleased with the rooCASE Neoprene Sleeve that I will buy more to protect other item that I have . it be very protective , very attractive and do the job nicely . it fit my gp like it be make for it . +420 GPS NEG 1 I buy this Garmin nuvus 1350lmt 4.3-inch portable GPS navigator with Lifetime Map & Traffic Updates recently . it take I 4-5 hour download the update map as expect . but I be not very happy with the distorted sound when it be give I direction . I return the product and request for a replacement . it only take 2 day which I be very pleased . however , to my dismay , the replacement product have the same distorted sound problem . +800 GPS POS 5 I purchase this case for a recently purchase Garmin nuvi 2460LMT -lrb- 5 '' -rrb- . I have purchase Garmin GPS unit in the past and each time Garmin include a protective case . not so with this one . back to Amazon to find a appropriate protective case . there be plenty to choose from but at $ 8.66 incl . tax & delivery , this be it ! fit my Garmin perfectly and just as good as the case Garmin provide in the past . highly recommend . +523 GPS POS 4 Thought about purchase a gp system for quite awhile but could not decide which one . daughter and she husband recommend a Garmin and after look they over and read other review decide this be what we need to have in the vehicle my husband use for business and then I use it to find a store . now we discuss who get to use it ! +832 GPS POS 5 I be really please use this unit . it do its job so cool . there be a 2 gig memory on it and you can put you music -lrb- mp3 's -rrb- or picture and everything . its shape be also great I mean it be not way too big . screen and color be perfect ! there be two thing that I dont like so far . the First one be the antenna . you have to open it up at all time to use while drive . while open it make a little noise which bother I . another thing be right after I get this unit , I drive to NY . when I be in manhattan , sometimes it couldnt find the point that I ask . finally it be find everything but I guess sometime these thing might happen because this gp be not the most expensive one . when you compare the unit and its price its just great ! BTW if it get stick , just reset it ! I have do just one time so far . +905 GPS POS 5 have be a Garmin user for over 5 year , I always love the look and feel of the map and user interface . it be time for I to get a new one and I definitely want a larger screen . the screen of this model be just amazing : it be a lot bigger compare to the 4.3 '' screen model , and quite bright even under sunlight . I only keep the brightness at 60 % and can still see where I be suppose to go while keep my eye on the road . that be huge ! I also find the `` lane assist with junction view '' feature particularly useful . another big perk that come with this model be the lifetime map update ! I have not update map in my previous model because of the additional cost and do get lose a few time . now I no longer need to worry because the map get update a few time a year ! +546 GPS POS 4 replace a older garmin version . especially helpful be be tell which lane to be in when come to a busy intersection or interchange in a unfamiliar area . also , like the speed limit feature . the speed limit change on the gp whenever it change on the road so you be not always have to look for the speed limit sign . the screen display at the bottom show you side by side how fast you be go and the speed limit . lifetime map upgrade be a huge plus too . +322 GPS POS 5 I love this product . I just wish they would come with the ability to insert a address book from outlook , etc. in it . I do not believe any of they do that . +99 GPS POS 5 love this gadget , keep I motivate to maintain pace when I start to get tired . I be a novice runner and only use the basics . there be many feature that would be great for the fitness fanatic . +164 GPS NEU 3 I buy this unit over TX Giving sale . the primary reason be that my other Garmin c330 gp be get dated and for the price of new map I could get this -lrb- with lifetime update -rrb- . set up be fairly easy . user interface do not take long get use to . during the trip it have nice trip summary such as mile left , time leave , upcome exit with exit # in top right corner . I have only make one long trip with this gp and even though I have fastest route set on , the GPS pick some really small road towards the end of the destination . I be follow a route that I have already travel on so I choose to ignore the GPS . it re-calculate fairly quickly . overall it be a good buy for the money +483 GPS POS 5 I be very happy with this product , it be very useful and covered my spectation . +866 GPS POS 5 I be so happy to recieve this item that I could barely open the box ! it be well-packaged , and the product be intact upon recieve it . I take it out and immediately use it to update my GeoMate . it be very easy to use ! the only downer be that the GeoMate list of point be not as concise as the geocaching.com website 's point list . honestly , I be a beginner geocacher , and my focus be more on the actual find , rather than what point be part of a series , etc. so the lack of be able to enter coordinate do not really affect I . overall , this be a great start tool to help introduce someone to the fun and challenging world of geocach ! +208 GPS POS 5 bought 3 for employees\/family . everyone report that it work great right out of the box . First trip be from NJ to sc with no problem . good value for the money . would suggest that the mfgr include a cloth bag for storage when you want to take it off of the windshield in a bad neighborhood . would recommend . +837 GPS POS 5 this charger solve a problem for I on my sailboat . how to keep two smart phone and a mp3 player charge , while not lose one of my 12volt socket . it be a very clever design and work as it should with no problem so far . the only problem you might run into be that if you be plug in something to the center while use the usb 's the plug as to be pretty slim . +854 GPS POS 4 this be a very good product . the only reason i give it four star instead of five be because the keyboard sometimes need to be touch a couple of time to enter a letter in the alphabet . i travel over 2700 mile in 10 day and use my garmin nuvus 1490 all the time . the blue tooth be easy to hear a phone conversation but the person on the other end of the conversation have a hard time hear what i be say . maybe because it be position on the dash , but where else would you put it and still be able to see it comfortibily ? +677 GPS POS 5 I recently use the device for a trip from New Jersey to West Virginia . the Garmin Nuvi 350 take I from point a to point b without a problem . it even navigate through back road to several state park located in the mountain . I be especially impress by the way it navigate through multiple highway that either converge or split into other highway . the audible navigation be clear and the system be quick to recalculate a route when need . it be understandable that not every roadway or address can be properly list . perhaps municipality and\/or county who already gather local mapping information can lend a hand by submit up to date information so consumer can have the latest datum at a reasonable price . at a cost of $ 670.00 , Garmin could have offer the consumer at least one free map update when it become available . I recommend this device to anyone who need or like to travel . +806 GPS POS 5 buy this product for a 2200 mile trip . get it two day before start and find it extremely easy to set up and learn . still learn some area such as map correction . recommend buy the unit with the traffic and life time map . deliver be as state . product work right out of the box . all the part be there . as far as use , I purchase this unit for the map update , screen size and the lane direction . it be very helpful in large city where be in the right lane to exit or join another freeway be in play . I have not use the map correction update yet , but it look like it would be very helpful . the speak dirction be very well do and allow you to choose from several different voice . I highly recommend this product and Amazon . +993 GPS POS 4 I like Navman pocket pc with gp . it be simple to use and have enough feature for those look for a pocket pc to store email , contact and some file . also good companion while on Road -lrb- I name this gadget with my wife name - show direction while move -rrb- 2 bad thing about this product ; 1 . map be old , not sure how to get latest map . 2 . I be still not able to connect to my wireless router -lrb- comcast broadband -rrb- for internet access . +911 GPS POS 5 I have use top-of-the-line hike gp unit from Magellan , Garmin , Delorme , and Lowrance and this explorist 710 get the highest grade ! it simply do everything and do it well . not only be it superb for hike and geocach , but it also will deliver door-to-door speak direction turn-by-turn . the build in camera do a great job at grab those `` I wish I have a camera right now '' shot . it have a large screen which be easy to read in sunlight and the intuitive touchscreen control be well think out . I do not understand the criticism from some of the reviewer here . if you want high quality video , then buy a high quality video camera ! do you really expect hd 1080p video from a hike gp unit ? come on people get real ! the only other gp that come close to the 710 be the Garmin Montana , but since the 710 come with Summit city map as well as complete US topo map pre-loaded , it be clearly a better deal ! highly recommend for hike and geocach ! +488 GPS POS 5 I have use the optional nav system that be a $ 2,000 option in most car , and the Garmin c340 be by far the easiest and best perform nav system I have ever use , at a fraction of the price . it be so user friendly that all I have to do be turn it on and go . the amount of datum pre-loaded into the unit be stagger . my relative that live on a private road with only three other home be in the system . the other system I have use could only get I to a intersection , about a mile away . my only regret be that I do not spend a little more to purchase one that be bluetooth ready . I be thrill with my c340 and purchase it on Amazon.com be easy and fast . +386 GPS POS 5 this be such a nice small and cheap item , I have to order 2 of they , just to have one in each car . +528 GPS POS 4 I buy this product for my girlfriend and she love it . it be ideal for those who enjoy run at a amateur level . it help you to track you distance , which be , I think , the greatest benefit it have . on the other hand , the design be really cool , and while you be not run it can be use as a watch . the price be just right . +147 GPS POS 5 I purchase this unit use from Amazon , and it be almost brand new when it arrive ! I be expect a little wear and tear but it be perfect . I would still be happy if I pay full price for it ! the first thing I do when I receive my unit be to upgrade the firmware . this correct a few minor flaw and add the ability take detour . sound great but I have not use it yet . they just release a new firmware which fix problem where it tell you to `` keep leave '' on a road where you be obviously go straight , but there be a exit to another road . i only have a couple minor suggestion , but be otherwise thrill with the unit . it not only get I to my destination , but all my friend like to play with it ! thing to change : - enter road name that have space . you actually need to select the `` space '' between the two name . Minor , but annoy . - the ability to enter multiple destination . this would be incredibly helpful ! I be not ask the unit to calculate all the route , but just store the next waypoint then automatically take I there . sometimes I 'll have 2 or 3 place I need to go and would like to program they at once . other time I 'll be on my way to my destination and realize I need to pick up beer for Monday Night Football . if I could `` insert '' a waypoint that be ` the nearest supermarket ' then I would be a Garmin user forever . - spoken instruction should include street name . speech technology be get very good -lrb- e.g. Sprint PCS 's Voice command -rrb- and it would be awesome to have the speak direction include the actual street name . currently , the speak direction be `` turn leave in 1.7 mile '' while the on screen direction will be `` exit 92 East towards Hayward . '' I would like to not have to take my eye off of the road know exactly which road I will be turn on . - antenna . the include antenna be ok , but I just order a aftermarket , longer one . occassionaly I will get `` satellite signal lose '' because the unit be on the passenger seat and lose line of sight with the satellite -lrb- I do not have a good place to mount the unit in my car -rrb- . now I can mount the antenna and get better reception . +459 GPS POS 5 execellent easy to use device with lot of option . also the unit 's graffic be fun and cute . it take AA battery so it be not difficult to power . it also have a car adapter that you can purchase , but I do not recomend use it in a car since it do not have map software build in . it seem more for explore by foot or watercraft . the product seem well make , and easy to find if you drop it . it also be supposidly waterproof . the manual be a easy read , and there be a pamphlet that come with it that allow you to jump right in without know too much . i pick this item up because it be recommen on the gecaching website as be a good value . +387 GPS NEU 3 you need a bit of techno-knowledge to really appreciate this device . just take awhile to learn it be possibility . out of the box it seem to work flawlessly , however , as I begin to use it , it start to show some quirk . contact Garmin via email and receive a quick response to the problem . the solution be to download a newer chipset . the unit work again for a few day and then fail . still look for a solution . install the various piece on you bike will take some time . not want to fool with the installation , I take it to my bike dealer and they install the unit the correct way . Worth the extra buck . now I just want it to work . still wait for a new solution . +876 GPS NEU 3 I be mostly satisfy with the function , however , the map be way behind the time . when I say way behind I mean year behind . Dallas and Fort Worth be grow quickly so this gp be often not of good service to I . I feel I pay a premium price for a standard gp . +637 GPS NEG 1 the Garmin 1490LMT be simply a horrible gp unit . the only good thing about it be the large screen , but even it can look bad when view at much of a angle . it will not pair with my Bluetooth phone , as claim . the speech synthesizer sound like something from 1980 . horrible and annoying . in my brief usage around town , I find it have street name wrong . even with map detail set to maximum , it often do not show many street unless you turn onto they . even major exit ramp do not appear ! meanwhile , it will show `` road '' that be essentially just driveway . it often give extremely little advance notice of turn . so little that you have no time to slow down to make the turn . the map display be miserable . in map view -lrb- straight down 2d view -rrb- , the road can look so wide that they overlap each other -lrb- if it bother to show they at all -rrb- . in 3d mode , the perspective be very misleading and unrealistic . then there be the repeat annoyance of just turn it on . every single time it have a warning that you have to click on -lrb- or wait for a while to go away on its own -rrb- . then it go back to the main menu . so , you stop at a gas station and get back in the car a few minute later . yes , you have to click the warning . then it do not take you to where you leave off . it go back to the main menu ! what the heck ?! my ancient Mio be so much better than this unit be every single way except screen size . this Garmin be go back , today . +332 GPS POS 5 I buy this gp about 3 month ago and it have perform well in all aspect . now I buy this gp with the primary purpose of hiking , biking , and geocaching -lrb- I have a separate gp for the car -rrb- . if you be look for a gp to use in the car ... there be better one , this one will not call out direction such as `` turn leave in 400 ft on 5th street '' like other model will . it will do road direction , but it will only give audio beep que . if you want you gp to do the outdoors-type of stuff that I do , you probably can not find one that be better . I see a comment about it run down battery too quickly when I be shop and be concern , but because 2 friend of mine have and love this model , I take the plunge . I have have no battery issue . I use nickel-metal-hydride rechargable in it and they work great . I would also recommend that you read the instruction manual . when I first start use it , it would point the wrong direction ... it be really wierd , I think it be break . then I read the instruction manual and realize that I need to calibrate the compass . the simple procedure take all of 15 seconds , and everything be correct . aside from this , this model have a ton of functionality , I have spend hour go through all of the feature and probably could have save a lot of time by read the manual . overall , as I say earlier , this be a superb product . +123 GPS POS 5 it be very to set up the graghic on the garmin 350 be wonderful when we have a question about the garmin and we contact amazon they be very quick to help and very polite , there be really no problem with product it be with the operator . +91 GPS POS 5 the unit install very easily . the 12v connector work very well and do not disconnect . both the gp unit and the pda be power from the 12v connection . the software load easily on the laptop and transfer to the ipaq with no problem . the map require a little forethought . however , loadie all of the state of Indiana still leave lot of room on a sd card for other thing . the system take about 90 seconds to acquire satellite and then route very well . have only use it for local route , but that be where I would need help most anyway . I already know how to use the interstate to get from one large metropolitan area to another -lrb- i.e. Chicago to Cleveland be relatively easy get on the interstate and stay on it -rrb- . sometimes it tell you about a exit just a little to close to the ramp . the voice prompt be very helpful . +402 GPS POS 5 I purchase this Garmin Forerunner so I could track in detail , all the aspect of my run . Heartrate , distance , pace , elevation gain and lose etc. . I love it ! only thing I can see as a small drawback be the short battery life . otherwise all be good , just put it on its plug in cradle when not in use there should be no worry . +957 GPS NEG 1 i would like to know a phone number to call a amazon representative because i order a gp on April 27 but i do not receive yet i make a claim via email but i never receive a response from amazon or any third party this be my review about my purchase . i hope somebody read this and get a rapid response . my email address be wilmar.barrameda@gmail.com[ -lrb- ASIN : B00005B4BJ Garmin GPSMAP 76 Waterproof Handheld GPS -rrb- -rrb- +794 GPS POS 4 First of all , about the nmea output -- this unit do NOT output nmea . fugawus support the Garmin Protocol , which be what this use , so there still be software package to use , just not nmea protocol . second , this unit take advantage of auto-routing , so get MapSource CitySelect instead of metroguid . it be pretty much identical to MetroGuide -lrb- street , pous 's , etc. . . -rrb- except it include auto-routing information that be not include with metroguide . overall , it be a great unit for the price -- rugged and feature-full . I would recommend it ! +954 GPS POS 4 my first Garmin NUVI 1450 be steal after a few month . I do not wait any time before buy another since I love the first one so much . I love the altitude feature for when I be travel to Colorado , hear direction from a female with a british accent , and appreciate the accuracy of the information -lrb- intersection , sign , distance , etc. -rrb- . for the price you can not go wrong . +572 GPS POS 4 the only reason this do not get five star be because it be not perfect , but it be very very good . when drive on some curvy back road in West Virginia it get a bit confused about the proper route and take I through a private neighborhood with only one exit , the way I come in . I be also search for a gas station while I be there and find that gas station it have list be no longer there and there be other that exist elsewhere . a little frustrating when the gas light have be on for a few minute . I have not experience any of these issue in Virginia , where I live . other than that , the detour button be helpful and have already save I a lot of frustration . I have also start be adventurous on my ride home from work let the gp recalculate the best route after each time I disobey its recommendation . additionally , you should purchase a 1 gig sd card to accompany the c320 because the new version 8 of the map software will fit all of the US and Canada on that one card . Perfect for cross country excursion ! I would recommend this to anyone want a high quality gp for a very low cost ! +260 GPS POS 5 product arrive in timely fashion and be as describe . would do business again . my husband find the device easy to read while run which be of utmost importance because he do require reading glass for most thing of this nature . it be also very accurate ! great training device for runner . +83 GPS POS 4 when I purchase the iway 500 I wrongly think that it be the same as the i-way 350 only with a larger screen and more feature because it be the more expensive item . the screen size be excellent and its overall performance be very good . however it be too heavy and inconvenient to hold and bring back and forth from car to car and home . the fact that it do not have a battery also be inconvenient . the screen be bright and clear on both model . the auditory turn by turn direction with adjustable volume be also very good . another excellent feature be the automatic recalculate of direction should you choose to vary from the initially calculate route . in other word it accurately keep up with you give new direction from you most current position . +426 GPS POS 5 I buy the Garmin 7200 for the big 7 '' screen to use in we motor home . I do a lot of search and read forum before decide on this one . the text to speech be the greatest as it tell I to move to the right lane more than enough advance of the exit or turn , very important drive a motor home or any vehicle for that matter . if I make a wrong turn it direct I right back to the my route . my wife be the navigator and say it be the best addition to the motor home . she say it be a big stress reliever . we can go off the schedule route and get right back on in the shortest time without worry . the pous 's be wonderful , National Parks , gas station , store almost anything . +304 GPS POS 5 I have a Garmin Nuvi and my cable be break . get this as a replacement and it work just fine . +791 GPS NEG 2 the bezel be very frustrating . it either scroll for you or it do not and there be no reason why . sometimes when my finger be just near the edge it would change screen . I would have to push hard and the next time a feather light touch change the screen . the gp and hr monitor work great and the hr strap be comfortable . the amount of stuff it can do be amazing but I think you need to be a professional athlete to use it all . the Garmin training website be not very good and there be no direction on how to use it . I use it with mapmyrun.com and it download seamlessly . it also download fast with the Garmin training site but every time I want to stop it give I some Garmin error . I be a female and the watch be really uncomfortable and large . female , I do not recommend it at all . it rub on my wrist bone the entire run . I would try to readjust it and the stupid bezel would get touch and change screen . I think it would fit a man 's wrist quite well though . the battery charge go very fast . I do not get it past 65 % because I keep plug it in . go from screen to screen be a pain with so many feature . for a serious male athlete I would recommend it . pro : great for serious athlete compact and clean look for a man 's wrist lot of feature , interval , simple , advanced , hr zone 1-5 and 3 training plan hr strap comfortable and I never have a issue with a inaccurate rate sit , run or sweating backlight be very bright -lrb- although it would come on if my finger get too close to the bezel -rrb- con : Way too clunky for female wrist bezel be finicky at best , hard to control . impossible while run too many feature for a newer runner . just run my first 1\/2 marathon and even with all my training I do not want or need all those feature . the price be way too high when there be other watch that can do very similar function just as well . +410 GPS NEG 1 this and all of the TomTom product seem full of bug . with the 3 people I know that have different model we have all have problem . anything from break within day of buy it to just bad direction . you can be in a parking lot and this thing will make you leave the lot , take a left , drive in a complete u , and then take a right . do it all the time rather then just tell I to take a right out of the parking lot . TomTom be just junk as they be make in China and they act like it . try one of the other brand do not get stick like i do . +425 GPS POS 4 this be my third Garmin GPS product . I have be satisfy with my other product . I purchase the 1450lmt primarily for the larger screen and the `` advance '' notice capability of upcome lane shifts\/major hwy\/freeway interchange . this , I think would be a big help for I as a return rver , drive a class A rig this time , as I try to navigate major interchange in cities\/areas I be unfamiliar with . to test the efficieny of the new GPS , we take it on a recent trip -lrb- auto -rrb- in the local area where we do know the interchange . the experience leave I with one wish , `` that the system provide longer lead time before warning of the upcome lane shift . '' one notice be .9 mile away and another be .6 mile . in some area and under some traffic condition , this be not sufficient to be able to manuever a 35 foot rig , or even some normal size vehicle safely . this be not a `` complaint '' , just a observation . I be otherwise fully satisfy with the unit . I will add a map recon to my plan to supplement the GPS timing prior to head into the war zone with the GBOY . +564 GPS POS 5 my original Garmin 496 power adapter use in the aircraft fall apart at the connector . buy this as a replacement . Works great and actually connects\/disconnects easier than the original . +130 GPS POS 4 there be many thing I like about this unit -- it be very light and compact , and I find it easy to use . I find the base map surprisingly detailed -lrb- for my area -rrb- , and upload the detailed map from MapSend fill in all the tiny road . now the downer : - mapsend need some lovin ' . I can not just pick the ... baud rate I want ; it must `` discover '' it . interestingly , certain mismatch between what it be try and what the 330 be expect make MapSend crash . just let I pick a number , ... - mapsend do not try anything past 19,200 bp . the thing -lrb- supposedly -rrb- work at 115,200 . - still wait for street map of Europe . - it will not plot a -lrb- street -rrb- course for you . not a big deal for I , but if you primary usage be in a car in place you do not know , you 'll probably want one that draw the `` right turn here '' arrow and talk to you , etc. . . since I use it on the water and for hike the 330 's behavior be just fine -lrb- it can draw a straight line from you present position to any desire locale -rrb- . +28 GPS NEG 1 without turn by turn direction , this be far from useful . hold out for the price drop on the turn by turn gp system such as Magellan 750 . +379 GPS POS 4 the tomtom work as say and work better on army basis than the garmin c330 that my wife have and i buy this tomtom for the same amount that i would have pay for the map update that i be go to have to do to my old garmin c330 the tomtom also come with lifetime map and traffic which also save time on long trip when you be by big city 's +306 GPS POS 4 the GPS be fine and we be enjoy use it . but we pay for two day delivery to have it in plenty of time before we trip and it show up five day later , the evening before we be due to leave . pay ofr something and not get it be a little bothersome . +987 GPS POS 4 as a QC Inspector for the nation largest cable tv provider , I drive all over state , and it be great to have a gp that work . I be able to enter multiple address of location to visit , optimize the route and take care of business . the only two minor issue be : the first , I would like to have option of have the farthest job first from start point when optimize , versus the closest from start point . the second be when I re-route due to road construction or something similar , the unit take a few moment to respond so I be leave in limbo on the street . do not let these two minor issue sway you decision on not get this gp . the positive be : the screen be exceptionally good size to see while drive , the audio can be hear over radio , the map be update for lifetime via computer download from Magellan website , there be also a traffic alert button to advise of any possible issue ahead . all in all , I give this gp device 4 out of 5 star and would recommend to driver for work or pleasure . +166 GPS POS 5 buy this for my son , he love it . Easy to use and get it for a great price . I would definitely buy another one . +527 GPS NEG 2 I can not believe how much info these gpss know but do not tell you . this one at least tell elevation , but nothing else on it be good . menu be insanely confusing and traffic be useless . in fact , it send I to a road that be almost entirely close , and all the while claim no traffic problem . they say with Garmin that if you want it to do anything useful , you have to pay extra . soon , Google and the open internet will put a stop to this . the gp should give you access to everything it know . for comparison , I buy a 4 '' Tomtom GPS in 2011 on clearance for $ 47 , and it blow this Garmin away in term of usefulness . my advice be , stay away from Garmin . by the way , device be return to Amazon without a problem . +406 GPS NEU 3 Voice direction very hard to follow . verbal articulation be poor . System give forwarning , sometime too far in advance you need to know where you be go ahead of time so you do not get direct off onto another freeway when it say stay right . +359 GPS POS 5 the Magellan RoadMate 5045-LM be great . the set-up be so easy the instruction be almost not necessary . the screen prompt be clear and easy to follow . the voice be pleasant and volume can be turn down or off , if prefer . it be easy to view the map and adjust they if necessary . you can check for restaurant , gas station , roadside service , etc. . the drive direction be perfectly accurate . highly recommend . +38 GPS POS 5 set it up for the 1st time be a pain because the instruction be vague . after three day of trial and error , finally get it to work the way I want it to . especially have a problem get it to show you walk speed in mph . only find that by accident . once it be up and run , be very impressed ! like it so much that I be buy one for my wife . especially like the Google map feature . at the start of the walk , it actually show the distance walk in foot until it switch to fraction of a mile . walk speed in mph be also extremely accurate . overall , the watch have far exceed my expectation ! : - -rrb- +492 GPS NEU 3 voice talk like person have marble in they mouth . many name and direction be hard to understand , could not pronounce ` county ' . some address and street could not be find . incorrectly call out road name . sometimes give wrong direction to turn . we feel that we have to have the appropriate map handy to make sure it be direct we correctly . difficult to enter some city\/road name -- after typing in a few of the letter a list would come up , if you name be not on the list , there be no way to override that list . we do not recommend this product , as we feel it be overhype . +799 GPS POS 5 I be concern this mount would not be very sturdy , or it would damage my CD slot , but I be pleasantly surprise . it be very sturdy and do not have any give at all . it fit easily in the CD slot and it do not seem to put a lot of stress on it . I also own the Arkon mount , which I be also very happy with . however , the face on this mount be quite a bit smaller than the Arkon version , so if you plan on have it in you car all the time , this one will probably look a little nicer . as other reviewer mention , it be kind of a pain to release the arm because the button be on top behind you phone , but you really should not be mess with it much unless you be stop , so it be not that big of a deal . +765 GPS NEG 2 i be disappointed , only larger screen and low price attract to buy , and of course exist brand name . signal strength poor , it take nearly one minute or more to get signal and occasionally lose singal in between . color scheme be also poor apart from four choice it also do not tell that you destination be on right side or left side . everytime fall from mount clip board . honestly i do not recommend . +297 GPS NEG 1 this be the first time I have ever write a review on any product , I be use my third Garmin 3790 LMT as the first two blank out within two week and I have only have this last replacement unit for one week . this be a very unreliable product and I do not believe Garmin have the technology to actually produce this unit to function dependably ; the concept be fine other than the ad that pop up and the traffic warning that be never actuate . I believe Garmin have good product , but this be not one of they . I rate this as a do not buy ! Trust what other be say and avoid this gp . +238 GPS POS 5 I be impress by the speed and efficiency in deliver my Garmin GPS ! when I get it I be thrill with all the feature it come with ! it be easy to use and I can record my datum in my pc for future adjustment . a real worth-buying ! +215 GPS POS 4 I think my gp be toast . all it need be a new cord . the wire be a bit stiff but , it work perfectly . good product , prompt delivery , fair price . +870 GPS POS 4 we really like this other than we find out we can not enter in exact coordinate which have turn out to be a problem . you can get coordinate for almost every place but we can not enter they in on this device which be a problem live here in Germany when you want to go to Spain or France etc. . I can get the coordinate to site we want to visit on google but it be not so easy to get a address and even when you do they very so much by country it be hard to get to the location . +342 GPS POS 5 I didnt buy this through Amazon , but Radio Shack ... and I have gotta say awesome product for a great price . I didnt want or need the bell and whistle of other gp 's , but with the 1300 , it come with the basics and even for someone who be not tech savy , I have no problem with turn it on and figure out all the basics like how to set the home address , speech\/text language you want , and how to navigate with it . it take less then a minuet for the gp to figure out my position and even when I type in a address 1500 mile away , in 20 seconds I have it ready to lead I out of town and ready to go -lrb- which I personally think be great see as how I live in the middle of no where ... ya know , where high speed internet isnt offer in my area and if you want anything other then pb you have to get satellite -rrb- . if you want something that be easy to figure out , basic , and not to big then this be for you . I have a hard time imagine size and how something would look on my dash , anything bigger than this in my cherokee and it would have be to big and I would have have a hard time find a spot for it . the suction cup work great , take I a second to get it to stick but the assembly of the base\/mount be easy to figure out . my only complaint be you have to actually push the screen , not just touch it ... not like jam you finger on it , but it do take a small amount of pressure , but if you driving and you have to reroute , its better that way so it wont just jump to another screen because you brush it with you hand . +680 GPS POS 5 great product , it be not overload , with ton of feature that you need to navigate to to fid what you need and the operation be very user friendly +256 GPS POS 5 this unit do everything Garmin say it will do and do it flawlessly . battery draw down time be very exceptable even in cold weather . we have get it soaked with snow and ice . the first day we have it I hide twelve gift in deep wood in a twenty acre area . I set waypoint for each gift and erase my track . even in fast fall , blow , and drift snow my kid where able to navigate to all twelve gift within a hour . what a blast . I strongly recommend add Garmins Mapsource City Navigator for on road adventure . the unit give extremely accurate on road direction -lrb- in print-no voice -rrb- and seem very up to date at least for we area in Wisconsin . I also purchase the optional external antenne for my vehicle , which be perfect . the unit even receive well next to a window without the external antenne , at least in fairly open area . even in severe weather and cloud cover it seem accurate within about twelve foot . I really can not say enough good about this gp . it be slightly more expensive than some of the lesser unit , but WELL worth the cost . +124 GPS POS 5 the roocase be a easy fit for my Garmin Nuvi 1450 , and provide the protection I need for gp storage without be bulky . construction be great , with smooth stitch and a quality feel to the operation of the zipper . not sure what I will use the front pocket for , but it be nice to have and add some flair to the design . diff --git a/test/Gloves.txt b/test/Gloves.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..a61cccac2c3003d66932ab3df04128d1a87f85c6 --- /dev/null +++ b/test/Gloves.txt @@ -0,0 +1,200 @@ +316 Gloves NEG 2 I read the review here and after compare to other product i decide to pull the trigger , my hand measurement be a bit under 8 in . so i assume a medium -lrb- 7-8 -rrb- would be a good fit , it be not , way too tight , the inseam between the finger be digging in the soft skin webbing between you finger , the material be way too short for my hand as it do not cover the whole palm and overall very uncomfortable , it be the natural color , which i return , though it seem like it would show dirt very easily second try i go for the large black , it should fit I very well this time , not the case , same problem with the medium still , the material be not enough to cover the palm to give you a comfortable fit , when you spread you hand open wide there be a gap of air between the glove and you palm that be always uncomfortable , and same problem with the inseam digging between my finger , the material be too tough , i decide to follow the advice of the person upload he photo to cut small slit between the finger , it have to cut slit in every inseam to feel comfortable , the pain be almost go but the finger be much shorter now .

I do a lot of research on different glove and the Schiek 530 glove seem to be a solid one . a bit pricey but a good glove can last for year +220 Gloves POS 5 I be super satisfied ! very comfortable . excellent grip . they look awesome . they last a long time and be very durable . Easy to wash ! buy they ! +848 Gloves POS 5 I love these glove because they help my hand stay smoothe and still allow I to pound the weight . thanks glove . +276 Gloves POS 5 I be a aircrew member in the United States Air Force . most of my job-related responsibility require I to wear glove for safety and protection . I have previously use the popular Mechanix brand automotive glove -lrb- the basic model -rrb- . I find these glove to be overprice for the durability and protection offer with the product . they last anywhere between 2-3 week on the job before hole be wear through the fingertip of the thumb , index , and middle finger of the glove . Custom Leathercraft glove offer optimum safety and protection for the demand of my occupation . the thumb , index , and middle glove finger be reinforce , extend the life of the glove well beyond that of my previously favor glove brand . the glove body be make up of a stretchy , but durable material that allow a comfortable fit and tear resistance . for the price at which this product be sell , I be beyond satisfied with the performance of these glove . note : I usually wear a large , but at the time I purchase the product only a medium or XL be offer . I buy the medium and the glove fit perfectly , probably due to the stretch allow by the glove body . +776 Gloves POS 4 after read other review before order , I choose medium over large glove . medium fit fine , make begin lap swim much easier +202 Gloves POS 5 the best I have ever find for the job I ask of it . I work in a garage and often need a combination of tactile application couple with protection . these glove offer both , and they last . if I be work with wire rope or roofing shingle , I use leather glove . +555 Gloves POS 5 I have only get to use they 2 or 3 time since I get they but the certainly help a lot with exercise like pull-up . they have a fair amount of padding so it be a bit odd to hold bar and thick rubber grip on machine , but I get use to it pretty fast . +787 Gloves NEG 1 these hurt the skin web between my middle and ring finger . I guess I will have to cut it or something , but it be way better without they : -lrb- I buy they to avoid pain , but the pain be even harder one year after , they be almost destroy . I wash they like 3-4 time and now there be a big hole in it . +882 Gloves POS 5 these glove be great ! they be size small so order they large like every one else say . they be a little stiff at the web of you finger when they be new but a couple workout and they fit and feel fine . I have no problem with loss of grip do lat pull downs or pull up with these glove at all . the leather in the palm have just the right amount of thickness and be very tough but pliable . the mesh back be breathable and do not overheat you hand . I would have pay twice the price for these if I have to . +418 Gloves POS 5 great pair of glove for the shop or for move stuff around .

I be at the gym 3-4 time a week and do basic weight and stability training , nothing too fancy so the glove be not truly battle test . they be inconspicuous black glove that look sophisticated . I have two issue with they no fault of the glove itself - my exercise watch move down to meet the leather upper for the velcro fastener and push the watch button into my skin and that hurt after a hour . secondly , I have to remove my ring as the glove be push it all the way to the webbing and hurt they - not a excuse to walk the gym without a ring on my finger , genuine pain there ! I purchase the female set with a dash of pink for my wife and she love it too . the glove provide no further stability to you hand beyond protect the skin and the measurement methodology for pick the right glove work perfectly for my short stubby hand . I have not wash they yet , so I be not sure how they react to water . one final thought , they initlaly leave black residue in you palm , guess that be something the manufacturer use to coat the glove , it stop after about 6 hour of use . +204 Gloves POS 4 these glove be great . well make and a great upgrade from the regular harbinger glove . try they on in a store first though , they run about one size smaller than you would expect and from the non-pro version . +558 Gloves POS 5 I follow Glove size chart and buy size l. glove be a bit too small but after I wear it for a few time they get stretch . one more thing , no tracking number of the package . +69 Gloves POS 5 these glove fit great .

Pretty pricey for a pair of glove sight unseen . not disappoint at all . work in 30-40 degree weather with galvanized metal and hand be not only well protected but do not get cold . -lrb- not for wet work though -rrb- two thing that really point out how tactile they be : 1 . you can open the pop top of can -lrb- soda of course -rrb- with they on . never be able to do that with any work glove before . 2 . later on , the zipper present no problem either ! I be order pair for Dad and Brothers for X-mas . +813 Gloves POS 5 I have use these maybe half a dozen time now , and they greatly increase my mobility underwater while diving . also , they do not seem to hinder the use of my hand while use my equipment . +325 Gloves POS 5 my old pair of Harbingers be over ten yr old and start to wear through . these be great out of the package - comfortable , just the right amount of padding , and look good too ! I they to last another ten yr . +984 Gloves POS 5 I actually use these glove in place of biking glove . not only be they far superior in protection , but they cost far less . I normall wear a XL and the xxl be just a bit snug , but they be well make and look to be very durable . +109 Gloves POS 4 I be a light heavyweight athlete and this glove have be great . they look pretty nice too . they protect you hand well when punch a heavy-bag . I would definitely recommend it ! great price too . +634 Gloves POS 5 these glove meet the purpose I need they for , they seem like they will last awhile unlike the Golds Gym brand I get from Walmart , they will seem very loose at first but once you break they in they relax to you hand very well . +573 Gloves NEG 1 do not buy these glove . they be not worth the little money you spend on they . they be extremely cheap and flimsy and give off a strong chemical smell . do not underestimate how strong these glove smell . its nauseating and it doesnt go away . regret every penny spend on this trash . if you serious about training , and want a quality product , invest in some reye glove . they be $ 100 + but real leather and they last you . I dont even want to give these glove away they be so bad . the garbage seem like the final destination for this crap . Waste of money . +183 Gloves POS 5 just what i be look for ! glove fit my 3 year old a tad big , but she love they ! very durable ! +552 Gloves NEG 1 very disappoint . I do a lot of outside work in the winter and think these would be just the thing . the palm and finger be rugged which be good but the glove be not very warm and get wet easily . additionally I think xxl would be big enough but it be a real stretch to get these on . +716 Gloves POS 5 I be a Air Force aircraft maintainer deploy to Afghanistan . I bring a pair of heavy duty Mechanix glove with I and they do not even last a week . needless to say I be use these glove in a very harsh demand environment . so far I have be wear they for 2 week and they be still go strong . the only complaint I have be that it take a month to get they here . but I suppose that be to be expect when ship they to Afghanistan . +557 Gloves POS 5 this be the 3rd time I have order the hand Finns . I use they almost everyday to swim lap . I have a pool in my back yard so I be lucky . Great for work out in water z +385 Gloves POS 5 appear to run on the tight size which maybe a advantage for more intrigate handling . not sure what happen when the glove become wet and then dry . +19 Gloves POS 4 at first I be confuse at how many reviewer be recommend this product in order to create more drag and make one 's swimming workout harder ... I have have the opposite experience when I start use they : they actually make my freestyle feel a lot easier , almost like wear fin but for the hand ! of course , I be a swimming noob and klutz . I mean , I do know how to swim , but badly -- despite be able to run marathon , I can barely swim 50 meter without get completely wind . so , I be read a book call `` total immersion '' and try to improve my efficiency in the water . and every little `` training wheel '' help -- I use these fin , and then during the later stage of my workout -lrb- about 20 minute in -rrb- I use fin , and then as a cool-down , fin and a kickboard . these glove have be incredibly helpful in my slow but steady development . one of my longstanding fault have be failure to cup my hand by squeeze my finger together , thus lose traction in the water ... these glove solve that problem immediately ! so , for the swimming-incompetent like myself , these glove be really a godsend . EDIT 10\/23\/2011 : well , I have to say that these glove really be for conditioning you arm and shoulder ... take they off and you hand suddenly feel feather-light and swimming be much easier . I wear they only occasionally now ... they be the equivalent of wear wrist weight . yes you do move more water with each stroke but the glove create so much drag that you can not get in nearly as many stroke as when not wear they . so it just depend on what you want they for . +887 Gloves POS 4 ironclad hug last about 3 month for I . inorder for the glove to last this long you can not use they on sharp or hot object . the weakist point be the seam that attach the kevlar to the glove once the seam be cut they begin to unravel and fall apart , mainly at the index finger and thumb area . overall you be able to handle small item , you hand do not get sweaty . they be comfortable and you be able to wash they when they get dirty . Main drawback - PRICEY , but worth it . +694 Gloves POS 4 this product be better and comparable to the similar product available in a retail store . the price be affordable . only thing , which I do n'tlike be that you have to buy 1000 piece , however for the price it be acceptable . I would suggest to buy . this product if you be look for personal . clean . +958 Gloves NEG 1 I work out 3 time a week be I do a mix of resistance training and cardio . I receive these glove early January and I be eager to try they out . they be okay at first and take some get use to . the leather be pretty stiff but after a few week the glove loosen up and thin out in the thicker padded area . on Feb 14 2001 , the stitching come undo on the right glove . so about 1.5 month of use and the glove be now fall apart . maybe you 'll have better luck but I would be cautious of buy these again . +458 Gloves POS 5 I absolutely love these glove . I have worn `` mechanix '' glove for year and the one thing I never like be the velcro strap as it would catch on thing in tight place . these glove have some sort of elastic which eliminate the velcro . other than that they be of the quality one would expect from Mechanix wear glove . I will buy again and again for sure . +698 Gloves POS 4 I use these for surfing . they be comfortable and do what they be suppose to do , i.e. , give you a bit more zip in you paddle . they also have the add benefit of keep you hand a little warmer and even more notably , help keep you hand from get scratch , pinch or otherwise injure from the board or leash . it do take a bit of get use to , because you have to train you body to do the opposite of what it be train to do before -lrb- keep you finger spread , as oppose to cup tightly without glove -rrb- . also , I experience a bit more arm and shoulder muscle fatigue , because I be move you water and pull harder , but that only last a few outing . since I get they , I have not surf without they . +142 Gloves POS 4 recently , I have use a Nike dri-fit & generic -lrb- ... -rrb- workout glove . the Nikes do not provide any real protection and the bb glove perform as well as it cost -lrb- $ 8 -rrb- . I have not have these glove very long , but I do enjoy they . they easy to remove since they do not have a wrist-strap & offer alot of protection . pro + great protection + good quality con - quite a bit of padding slightly hinder pull-up , but nothing you can not deal with . I would recommend this to any of my friend . \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* update \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* 3\/10\/12 still love these glove ! they be in great shape still and do wonder for protect my hand . +994 Gloves POS 4 thesis glove be simply wonderfull because they be durable , strong and ... washable . it be amazing but I do not feel they hot during these last sunny day , very comfortable . I wish they could be little bigger for a xxl size +847 Gloves POS 4 these be a good set if you want to work on strengthen you wrist . I have be use the one with the wrist strap , but they be handicap my wrist strength . good reliable glove . +57 Gloves POS 5 I really like these Handyman glove , they meet all my comfort and protection need . they be stylish and well make , from seam to finish . nothing fancy , but have all the extra protection and padding in the right place . durable through small gardening thorn , home diy project , yard work , and carry everything from CMU brick , rebar , wood panel and building material , mine take a lot of abuse and hold up well even through a whole day work . compare to the Craftsman and Mechanic brand in the same price range , these be better in quality , padding and comfort . they fit very well , I often forget they be on , I can grab smaller nail off the floor , my key or phone out of my pocket and adjust my safety glass with ease . best unnoticed feature be they breath well , no sweaty mark through the leather glove . I look forward to use they , almost challenge what it can not do . good for basic abuse , they be not kevlar or cut resistant , I would not take a hammer against it either , but I be sure will help against the normal 2x4 wood board or brick hit to the hand . the price make this the best glove for I , I be get another couple for the car and spare . make I want to try the upper level glove for extra protection . awesome job clc ! +403 Gloves POS 4 I be use those myself and just buy a couple as a gift . I use these glove 3-4 time a week and they seem to be quite durable and comfortable . recommend those +782 Gloves POS 5 I work in the nursery\/landscape business and used to GO THROUGH A PAIR of COWHIDE GLOVES in two or three week .

I can reach into my pocket and GRAB A PEN WITHOUT EMPTYING the contents of pocket on the ground . EVEN HANDLING MONEY be no problem . THESE GLOVES be woth the price of admission . +298 Gloves POS 5 this be my second pair for my own water aerobic workout . they last well and afford great water resistance for the upper body , which I prefer to hand-held water weight . as I run lap in the water , I can use different hand movement to tone the upper body . +187 Gloves NEG 1 the glove do not match the picture at all . they be gray with navy blue trim . +111 Gloves POS 5 so far , work outside in the yard , work on the mower , haul off scrap metal they have protect my hand !

I just wish they be pad a little heavier on the palm which would assist during military press and benching . also , I wish the finger sleeve be slightly longer as to protect more skin , but that ok . im just use to a old pair of ski glove that i have convert for weight lifting . they have much thicker padding and perhaps in comparison , these fall short . however , these do look great ... and be washable . they claim the leather will not shrink in the dryer either , let hope not . there be a tag on the inside which irritate the wrist at time . pull it off would probably destroy the stiching and diminish the integrity of the glove , so i 'll just leave it . all in all , a decent pair of gym glove for the price . I check around ... these glove be more expensive elsewhere . +188 Gloves NEU 3 I buy these glove because I start work out at the gym and need add protection to my hand , since I have carpal tunnel . these glove protect my palm from the pressure and I have less pain in my hand .

I dident know there be company 's out there that still provide that kind of excellent service . Ok so how be they glove woke out ? great ! they be not leather but still durable enough for intense heavy bag session . DO NOT use for spar . they be not enough padding on the glove for that . you will break you knuckle or worse someone rib . on the heavy bag you can hit as hard as you want just make sure you use handwrap under . that be a nessesity with any glove you wear . +82 Gloves POS 5 these glove be excellent .

I guess I can not blame they though , if I be shop for something , I would want what I see in the picture . in my case , my glove be the same color as what be picture ; maybe just a tad darker . +909 Gloves POS 4 I like the Harbinger glove because they have great padding and they be not black . when you sweat with black glove , the dark color tend to rub off on you hand , make you hand look quite dirty . the glove fit snug , but some of the stitching could be a bit better . in any case , I 'll probably buy more of they in the future as these wear out . +376 Gloves POS 5 I drive a tow truck -lrb- Mindy 's husband here -rrb- , and these be a little light for I .

I get the xtra large , which I think might be too big , but follow the size chart anyway . when the glove arrive , they be very tight when I first put they on . after a few workout , they loosen up and now fit perfectly . I be also concern about there be too much padding and possibly lose grip . well , now I be glad there be the padding . it be soften and I can really focus on grip the bar when I be lift heavier weight . also they have hold up well so far . good construction , no loose end . overall , they have make a positive difference in my workout . definitely recommend for beginner to intermediate -lrb- that be I -rrb- . +133 Gloves NEG 2 I buy these glove as a replacement for some cheap $ 20 bulk generic made-in-China glove my boxing gym have available . because they be Everlast , I think they would be good . I have be very disappointed . these glove offer almost no wrist support , and I have to start use wrap to protect my wrist . after about 4 week of medium-duty use , the vinyl be peel and the stitching be fall apart . the only good thing I can say about they be that they do not smell as bad as other glove I have use , so they do seem to resist odor as advertise . +618 Gloves POS 4 I buy my 14 year old son 16 oz . and train with a 70 lb training bag great quality glove . +912 Gloves POS 5 I purchase 2 pair of this glove for my 2 son . when work in the cold on they car , they hand would be so cold and they could not grip thing well . they be both pleased with the glove . they do not seem to be too thick . I think the sizing be correct also . +923 Gloves NEU 3 the glove be alright I guess , protect the palm from bruise , do what it be suppose to do , but not much padding when do heavy bench press . good thing I read the previous review in regard to size and order a size bigger than on the chart provide . my last harbinger be l size this one be XL and it be a tight fit , it be hard to take it off . so order 1 or 2 size bigger . +67 Gloves POS 5 I wear they all the time now when do any type of work around the house . not quite the same dexterity with small item -lrb- screw , etc -rrb- as bare hand , but pretty close . well worth the money from my perspective . +860 Gloves NEU 3 I be happy with these so far , they be nice quality and comfortable . my only concern be that I wear they while do floor work -lrb- push up , etc -rrb- and one seam be start to rip !

I like the dexterity and the grip from these glove . that be about it . for 49.99 though , I think the average person would be better off buy a extra large ski glove from walmart and layering that up with glove liner to keep warm during work . +885 Gloves POS 5 I work at Fed-Ex Freightways in Ohio and I have never be as cold as I be when I work there during the night hour .

I even wear they while use my digital camera . the dexterity be excellent . I have be able to pick up and hold nail and screw with the glove on . i wear the glove more because of the great dexterity . the regular leather glove have to come off to do most small task , while the Ironclad can be worn most of the time . the glove do not so any sign of wear , so far . the only thing they do not offer be wrist protection . they be short and not good for wet work . that be why I give they four star , instead of five . but they be easy to carry in you pocket . two day ago I be handle firewood -lrb- without the glove -rrb- and get a big splinter in my thumb . I 'll never do that again ... +956 Gloves POS 4 I load truck at fedex ground and have go through many different type of glove and find that these ironclad glove last I the longest . +270 Gloves NEU 3 this product get heavy use in we home . my husband use they almost daily and lift heavy weight . the grip be great and protect he palm well , but it have not even be a month since we have order they and one be already rip at the seam . : -lrb- +838 Gloves POS 5 I buy these glove to use at work . we handle lot of pallet and I need some durable yet comfortable glove to protect my hand from splinter and pinch .

I could hardly make a fist because it be so tight . I be return it for sure . +340 Gloves POS 5 these glove fit tight to the skin while increase you grip and provide some protection . the key here be to wear the right glove for the job . if I be handle something sharp , I 'll wear something heavier than these . perhaps the only flaw be in the labeling that these be heavy utility . I have be use these as a general work glove for a year now and love the fact that I still have some `` feel '' with these . I plan on pick up the framer style for situation that require more finger dexterity . +206 Gloves POS 5 I be very pleased with my pair . they be only 14 oz but they provide pleanty of protection while i work the heavy bag . also they fit very well and offer pretty good wrist support .

I like that these breathe , which mean my hand stay cool and they do not end up stink so bad . : -rrb- also like that they be black , which hide the dirt , grime , and sweat they pick up from ordinary use . padding be good , but like most glove , wear with time . I find mine a bit tight at first , but this lessen with time . the leather also become more flexible , although not too flexible . my current pair still have some pretty good `` stiffness '' after a couple of month . for the price , these be one of my top pick for glove . the only people I would not recommend they to be those who prefer a non-leather glove or strap . +303 Gloves POS 5 great product , sturdy and well fitting . good padding as well . great workout glove over all +369 Gloves POS 5 use these for tube the river and be impressed be a adjustment to not cup my hand when paddle dry fast and fit I well +636 Gloves POS 5 I buy a pair last summer , and I have just return here to buy at least 3 more pair . for what they be make for , nothing could be better . they be not go to keep you hand warm in very cold weather , but they be not design to . the thin leather make handle thing almost as easy as not have glove on . I can do all sort of chore around the house and shop in cold weather , and they work great . you can easily handle small object . they be great for handle firewood . I also use they in glassblow , and again it be like not have glove on , except they provide more protection than you might think for such a thin glove . they fit very well , and they slip on and off easily . when they be on , they be like have a second thick skin . I have type on a computer with they . I can take my wallet out of my pocket and insert or remove bill easily . be such thin leather , they be not go to last as long as heavier glove , but they be so much more handy than any other glove I own . I just can not say enough good thing about these glove . once you have get they wet a couple time , the leather act like a chamoix and will immediately soak up any moisture they come in contact with . but they dry out nicely and continue to wear and fit superbly even after many wet\/dry cycle . even in we long cold NH winter , I have wear these all winter long and only switch out for heavier glove when I be do extended outdoor work . I have get lot of work glove ; cotton with rubber dot , cowhide insulate & uninsulated , pigskin , you name it . I have also get similar glove with a bit heavier leather and velcro wrist strap . these be much better , both for the feel and for be quicker and easier to put on and off . once they be on , they stay on very nicely . these be my favorite and most versatile glove by far . +651 Gloves POS 4 I really like these glove when I first get they , but after a couple month of use the stiching on the right thumb be come a part ... I just figure they would last a little longer . they be still nice glove though . +411 Gloves POS 4 I love these glove from Ironclad . durable and warm they be perfect for work outside in the snow and cold . my hand have stay dry and warm even when have to work in wet , icy condition reach into sump and drain . I be back to update my review on these glove . the paragraph above be write on February 15 , 2009 and today be January 24 , 2011 . I be still use these glove and find they to be very warm except when it get to bitter cold temp . once the outside air temp drop into the teens or single digit , with wind chill temp in the negative I can feel my finger start to get cold and numb if I be not actively use my hand work on something . other than that these glove still work great at keep my finger warm and toasty . I would also like to say that they be water proof to a point . I be reach into iced over gutter with water under the ice remove leaf and while my actual skin be stay dry I could tell the glove be get water log . I could take they off and ring they out so I be guess the water proof layer be the inner most layer of the glove . I also use these glove when walk my dog , remove snow off the driveway and when work outside in the cold such as on my snow blower . the textured finger tip allow I to pick up even tiny washer lay on the cement ! I be notice a lot of `` irish pendant '' or little string hang off the glove around the stitching , but that start a few month after I begin use the glove and it have not be a issue in durability yet . +745 Gloves POS 5 I purchase these Speedo Aqua Fit train swim glove to use in my water aerobic class . they add to the water resistance when do arm exercise . because of the webbed finger , the strength training in the water be much better . the glove be make for man and woman so I buy the medium which be plenty big . I can not imagine a woman use the large . I look at different brand and the SPEEDO seem to be make the best . +966 Gloves NEG 2 this glove be just ok ... I like the leather palm , but it just do not fit as well as other glove that I have try . you can feel the seam in the fingertip and the glove leave blister on my hand , and blister be cause by movement . Make sure you get a good fitting glove . the Mechanix wear 4.0 glove be similar to this glove but with a better fit , any of those glove be better than this pair . +index Domain Label Rating Review +68 Gloves POS 5 these glove really work great for what I need . we have a lot of brush -lrb- include thorn -rrb- that I be clear out . these glove help protect my hand even from the thorn . Great make product ! +541 Gloves POS 4 these glove be perfect for workout involve heavier weight when a wrist guard be not prefer . both side of the glove be pretty heavily pad to avoid blister . also , I have have glove in the past with weak spot between the padding that easily rip . these do not . the only thing I find a little odd be the two little leather loop on the inside of the wrist . these be here to attach to the packaging . why be they leather and why be they permanent ? weird . +182 Gloves NEU 3 the glove be too big for my hand -lrb- I order a medium -rrb- . my husband be use they and say it be a great workout . +936 Gloves NEG 1 I purchase these glove and start a small remodeling job the next day . after one day of demo one of the finger seam have start to come apart . on day two we frame and they develop a few small hole in the palm . for the money spend I could have get three pair of leather work glove that would of last three month . if you work hard these glove be the wrong choice . +960 Gloves POS 4 I have be use my harbinger 1260 for approximately three week . the padding on the 1260s take a little get use to . the majority of my weight training be on machine that have rubber padding on the grip . this make grip with the Harbingers a little awkward at first , but I get use to it after a couple of workout . only time will tell whether these glove hold up as well as my old Nikes . I use those for over three year -lrb- they be lose -rrb- lifting weight 3 time a week . +150 Gloves POS 5 they work wonderfully down to 32 degree fahrenheit , below that you 'll need the Ironclad Tundra . all the ironclad glove be make for a specific purpose and condition . I myself have 3-4 different pair that be use to suit different environmental and work condition . in my opinion you can not beat a correctly match pair of ironclad glove . +693 Gloves POS 4 they be great to start out with a punch bag . I have never use one before so these get I over be gentle with it . I practice bare fist now so I do not use these glove anymore , but still they be perfect at the time for what I need . Quality be good , I have no complaint on the build . I get the 12 ounce one , my hand be relatively big with a `` boney '' build . my fingertip go to the end of the glove exactly , if I have any larger hand , these would be too small . +22 Gloves POS 5 use they once so far to rotate tire , but difficult to conceive of use these for smaller bolt and part . they can protect you hand if that darn wrench slip ! +116 Gloves POS 4 the glove be a little small , so I get a larger pair . the larger pair be the right size , but the finger be a little long . this make it a little discomfort when you squeeze a bar . but its minor . not a big deal , but that why I give they a 4 instead of a 5 . other than that they be nice and good quality . would recommend . +704 Gloves POS 4 I like these glove , have great protection for when work on car , have extra padding for the knuckle , the finger tip though be a little too thick for I , its hard to use you finger for precise thing , like put bolt into the thread 0r try to put on lug nut , good for carry thing and tool work +915 Gloves POS 5 these be great glove . there tight fitting and very comformtable . Great for hit my bag . +700 Gloves POS 5 nice glove , good dexterity . not for very heavy work -lrb- and not make for mechanic -rrb- , but really nice for anything else . recieve on Time , would recommend seller . +934 Gloves POS 5 I have be lift for 30 year now -lrb- ouch -rrb- and have become very set in my way . I use to say glove be for girl - until I snag a new sweater by put my arm around my girl friend way back when - I finally relent , no , I would not want those hand touch I either , so I start wear glove . if you do a lot of heavy pulldowns\/pullups , shrug , deadlift and such these will work great . 3\/4 Finger length glove be hard to find , but you will get serious callus just below you first knuckle without they if you go heavier on back day . these may take a little while to get use to and feel a bit bulky at first but they do break in pretty well . I also prefer no wrist-wrap build into the glove as I find they bulky and constrict . I prefer the option of use good cotton strap when need instead -lrb- APT Ultimate Straps -rrb- . these be pretty much the only glove out there meet my criterion at this time . I have try and destroy a lot of cheaper glove in short order over the year and have end up settle on these . I have use the previous version of this glove for about 10year now , they last I about a year and I lift 5-6 day a week . for the amount of use\/abuse they be a decent value though the price may be a little higher than other . +388 Gloves POS 5 good glove , good price . very comfortable , be sure to order a little big though . +589 Gloves POS 5 by size chart , I have to use l size but after read quite a few useful review , I decide to order XL size .

Stick with these or other glove . I have extra large hand and although they still work well , some of the stitch on each glove between the finger have start to break away and get loose . this be the only flaw on otherwise a excellent product . recommend . +543 Gloves POS 5 I use these in band rehearsal , wear they the whole time to avoid mark up my trumpet . they work great for that , and will also remove fingerprint easily if you handle the trumpet . after a while they do get dirty and I wash they . I do not know if that remove the silver cleaning property but they still work for remove smudge . recommend ! +779 Gloves NEU 3 overall these glove provide decent hand protection , and have allow my callus to go away . here be my complaint though : 1 -rrb- fit - I check the company 's size chart and order a medium . while the palm size be decent , I find the finger and wrist to be too loose - which mean they slide more than I would like . 2 -rrb- length - I personally would have like the finger to be a little longer . it would have be nice if they at least reach up to the first knuckle -lrb- I have short finger too -rrb- . plus , since the finger be loose on I , they slide down and cover even less so my finger barely have any protection at all . that can get uncomfortable for I since my weight have a textured grip which rub more than a smooth surface would . the only way to compensate be to try and pull the glove up , but that do not really work too well . overall these be a decent pair of glove . for I though , I think there be probably a better pair out there . +241 Gloves POS 5 I have short wide hand . these well fitting glove allow I to work in the yard with good control of tool . the elasticity make for a geat fit , and they breath well . here in humid Florida , that be important .

I use the evergel 120 '' speed wrap and it be a little hard to get the glove on . I do not have big hand I have average size hand . so if you have big hand I would try look for a different pair . overall , it be a good pair of glove for hit the heavy bag . I would just suggest to get a thicker pair of glove if you want to spar . +253 Gloves POS 4 my wife and I use these Mechanix glove whenever she help I out around the house . they be thin enough to be able to pick up small screw while they be still on , but provide enough protection so you do not rub you skin raw while tackle fix it project . one drawback be that they be not very comfortable once they get wet , so leave they behind when do any sort of plumbing work . +292 Gloves POS 5 I do not expect these glove to make much difference in my twice-weekly workout . they do . it be clear from my increase fatigue when use they that I be get more resistance than a cupped hand provide .

I have a medium size hand and order man 's medium . what I get be label medium but seem really small . exchange for the large and it fit fine ... would probably be fine for a slightly larger hand too , but fine . not sure if this be unique to this model or just this scenario , or if Harbinger 's glove tend to run small . +237 Gloves POS 5 the swim glove be exactly what be picture on Amazon , and they be $ 6.00 less than in the store . a good deal . +175 Gloves POS 4 I just receive these glove today .

I guess they be cheap enough to buy new one every 7 month or so . +901 Gloves POS 5 I do water aerobic three time a week and find these glove -lrb- because of they add resistance in the water -rrb- be a big help to get a better workout . +157 Gloves POS 4 my initial impression of these glove be a bad one : they absolutely reek of some sort of organic solvent use during the manufacturing process . it be difficult to hold these chemical-laden glove up to my face when I be breathe heavy during training ; the smell make I want to vomit . after a few week , the smell become tolerable . however , it almost make I want to pay extra for leather glove . the glove be well-made , I have no complaint about the fit or finish . the thumb be comfortable and both side feel the same . the cuff be comfortable , with no sharp edge or other annoyance . the velcro be sew on straight and be easy to use . the thumb be attach , but can be easily free up if desire . if you just use they for hit the heavy bag , you be better off snip the attachment ; it will make it easier to grab the velcro and tighten it up . after make glove for decade , I suppose Everlast have it down to a science . these glove be hard . I would not want to get hit by they . if you want to spar someone , they will not appreciate it if you wear these glove . but the glove feel good on my fist . I can really go berzerk on the hardest part of my heavybag without feel any discomfort in my knuckle . I be not sure why Everlast claim that the glove have a `` anti-microbial '' lining . as far as I can tell , it be just polyester . in any event , it work fine . some other reviewer have complain that these glove fit too snug . I do not find this to be a problem . when my hand be wrap , they fit into the glove snugly , but the fit be proper . if you have fat , untrained hand , or if you be a large-boned heavyweight , you might experience a tight fit . for most people , the glove be as they should be . for the money , these glove be fine . +862 Gloves NEG 2 I buy a pair of these as a workout set for heavy bag use , and have be mostly disappoint with they for that purpose . pro : Easy on and off , even put they on by yourself . wrist strap be simple and hold well . breathe surprisingly well for the design . con : even with hand wrap on , I find my right glove to fit too poorly to absorb punch well ; the design make it hard to form a proper fist without try to grip the glove into a proper position to do so . the left I have no problem with for some reason , maybe just have a bad pair ? the padding make blow glance off of the bag to a degree that it make I feel like I be risk injury when use they for actual impact punch . grip make my hand feel too open when punch , can not grip a tight fist ... my hand would be bruise or very sore after even a modest workout with they . +625 Gloves POS 5 very sturdy , comfortable glove . Zero complaint . I order large since many indicate they run small . they fit well - a hair big . I imagine a smaller size would be too small . +851 Gloves POS 5 I usually take a large size but after read the review go for extra large . fit be snug and very comfortable . I like the natural color and there be no odor -lrb- someone have mention that with the black glove there be a strong odor -rrb- . +20 Gloves NEG 2 glove serve purpose . I use they surf -lrb- occasionally -rrb- & you do notice much more power in each stroke . they do fill with water which make the a little cumbersome & heavy increase fatigue . I would not recommend these for swim training -lrb- pool -rrb- , I have use plastic hand paddle & they work far better , but , as say these provide grip when out on the surf board & keep you hand slightly warmer . +223 Gloves POS 5 my last pair of leather and mesh training glove where trash , so I shop around and decide to replace they with these glove . the Harbinger 1260 glove provide ample padding for protection and comfort while provide a solid grip . the nosweat -lrb- tm -rrb- lining wick moisture away from the skin while the curved three quarter finger design fit more naturally , improve dexterity . the glove be fasten in place with a adjustable wrist strap . even though the glove be partially construct of leather , they can be hand wash to remove salt and oils . wash with a mild soap and air dry will help the glove to maintain they comfort , fit and will last longer . my workout partner use the harbinger 143 glove . compare to the 1260 , the 143 be simpler glove with less material and padding . since they sell for about the same price , the 1260 glove be a much better value . pro : washable comfortable durable enough for rigorous strength training con : size seem slightly small in comparison to other glove . I can get my glove on easy and they be comfortable . they be a bit of a challenge to remove though . the next size up be too big on I . +565 Gloves POS 4 I own the cheaper plastic one and they actually work better than these . they be a bit small as well , the plastic one be much wider and more effective . +420 Gloves POS 5 I order the G & f glove for my husband . they be leather and really sturdy , yet comfortable . additionally , they fit he hand ; many other glove do not . my husband and I recommend they . +800 Gloves POS 5 da harbinger glove dey be da best make of leatha soft as big natural breast da harbinger glove da workout be good just wearin ' dem make I walk with half wood +523 Gloves POS 4 I have not have the glove very long , but , so far , they be wear `` like Iron '' . great fit and very comfortable . +832 Gloves POS 5 of course it emphasize the arm and shoulder . I have very large hand -lrb- 6 ' 4 '' -rrb- and base on the review I go with the large . the fit be fine for my hand which be skinny but the finger cut into the web of my hand so I wish I would buy the XL . it be not a problem once I start swim though . my arm get more of a workout but they be not sore and it be not as dramatic a difference as some say . however , anything that make swim more interesting be worth twice the price . +905 Gloves POS 4 I buy these glove to wear during maintenance on my car . they be very comfortable and seem quite durable for the purpose I need they for . they breathe well and provide great grip when handle tool and other hardware . I do not want to spend a bunch of money for glove that be go to get greasy and dirty , so these fit the bill perfectly . the only reason they do not get 5 star be because it be hard to pick up tiny screw and bolt with my finger tip when wear the glove . +546 Gloves POS 5 I be 130 lb ; 12 oz be too light for spar and 16 be slightly bulky + heavy for I to work on the bag with , so I get the 14 oz one . great blue color , look better than the black one , and a great construction . not that much of a smell to they as some people say , just a slight smell of the fabric . I be sensitive to smell and have seasonal allergy and have no problem work with they . my hand be not that big , and these glove be the perfect fit . have not try , but I think it 'll be tight to wear handwrap inside they . maybe they 'll stretch with use . . +322 Gloves NEG 2 I be train for about two year and these be my 2nd pair of glove . I keep re-injure my hand and never know what the hell I be do wrong until I purchase another brand . the hand injury go away soon after I buy the new set . these glove SUCK unless you be just purchase they to get drunk and take em out back with some of you buddy in which case , buy two set . +99 Gloves POS 4 seem to be a substancial product - time will tell - product be one month old this review - +164 Gloves POS 4 I have be lift weight for thrity year and have worn work out glove for the past twenty and I will say that it be difficult to find a durable and comfortable pair of glove . I try numerous pair on in various store and finally choose this one as it seem durable , be attractive , washable and fairly comfortable . I get the xxl and the glove fit perfect except for one thing and most workout glove seem to have this minor irritant . the cut on the glove between the two middle finger be too low and it put pressure on the skin between these two finger . I have be slowly try to stretch it out without tear the glove and hope it loosen a bit after they break in . other wise they look great and work well . they do not bunch up when grip the bar and they seem to breathe well . I do recommend they but make sure you either try they on locally or get a size or two larger than you think . I would have get the xxxl if they have they . 4 star for the finger issue otherwise 5 . +483 Gloves POS 5 very comfortable and seem very durable . my Golden Retriever immediately give they he carry and shake wear test and they survive unscathed . I purchase these in hope of use they as shoot glove but they may prove to be a little heavy for that purpose , especially for smaller handgun . they do work for my g23 , but that firearm be design for gloved use . if that prove to be the case they will become my `` indoor '' work glove . size be spot on and the price be hard to beat . +866 Gloves POS 5 they fit well and be easy to take on and off . highly recommend . they be durable and look great . I would recommend a standard weight glove . +208 Gloves POS 4 Resistente y con un buen acabado , un precioso guante que a demas de prpteger tus manos te sirvn de adorno +837 Gloves POS 5 as a multi-trade craftsman , I have use , abused , and refuse any number of glove in 30 year of work . these glove strike a good balance between protection and dexterousness . they be not for heavy and unaware usage , mean if you be pull brush , haul log , heave concrete block or do heavy demo these will work if you pay attention to what and how you be move you material . they 'll last under these condition but not or for hundred of hour . if you just jump in , in a day or two they 'll be worn , tear , or rip . but for medium labor , wrenching , carpentry , power tool handling , etc. these will give you a good degree of protection and last month 's . to review this glove as poor , or ` not worth a dime ' ... `` because I run they through a saw and my finger fall off '' , or `` I be pack loose razor blade and these glove get tear to shred '' be operator negligence by use a tool not suit to the task . overall a great glove for it be intended purpose , they outlast similar glove cost twice as much . +854 Gloves NEG 1 I swim 50 lap every week & it be start to hurt my hand , so I think I would try some swim glove . I buy these & by the time I get to the end of the pool , I want they off ! it feel like swimming in waterlogged oven mitt & make my stroke slower . +677 Gloves POS 5 I get the natural colored one . personally I feel they look better . have be use they for a while and they have save my hand from be all rip up after work out with different metal bar and rope pull . have even use they in help people move which in lift some thing can really hurt you hand . one of the other reviewer mention a guide for measure you hand , and I would use that as it work perfectly for I . the reviewer who say he have to cut out the part between finger , while I can kind of see why , and depend on how you hand be build you might , I have have no issue with that . they fit perfectly for I and I have have no issue with the part between the finger . also recently wash they and they come out fine and still fit perfectly . they stay in my car all the time in the Florida heat and sun and be still soft too . Whenever these wear out I will certainly buy another pair . have be use they pretty regularly and they have hold up well so far . +806 Gloves NEU 3 too small it fit like a child glove and the fit start almost at the center of you palm . +993 Gloves POS 5 the main point of my review will be my personal experience with this product . people get confuse with review because some reviwer tend to talk about they impression or other subjective aspect . to start , I need to say I use the manufacturer 's table to choose the right size . I measure my hand and the indicate size be the M. Important Advice - do not give up in the first week when I first try these glove on they be a little tight and still comfortable but as I get to the gym I feel that pinch between finger some people mention . I need to tell you , it really hurt but after a week of usage the pinch totally disappear . also , during the first week it expand a little bit -lrb- break-in time -rrb- . I have be use they for two month and they almost do not shrink after wash . now , the best thing about the glove be the protection . I must say I be a beginner but I have try 3 glove so far and this one really keep I without blister or callus . to sum up : I follow the manufacturer 's indication and the size be perfect for I . it hurt a little in the first week but it go away . it look good and protect you very well . it have also a very good value and look good . +911 Gloves POS 5 I do my research and believe I this be Theresa product for the best price . good deal here the quality plus the quanity +488 Gloves NEG 2 I be only 5 ' 7 '' , 133 lb , a small guy . I order these man 's glove , size m. size m arrive . although they appear and feel nice , they be way too small for I . for decade , all size m glove fit I fine , but not these . I give they to my wife -lrb- they fit she -rrb- . +386 Gloves POS 5 they be great , though they do not offer as much wrist report as certain model do , they be of great quality material and be great for friction protection of the hand , ideal for lifting , work , and even workingout in . they also deliever to Iraq where I be deploy . +528 Gloves NEG 1 it have a size problem , my mom and I measure my hand and it say size m , but it be too big and when I swim with that it do not work well . I have to organize all time and I can not swim good I be so sad , because it be so expensive and I can not use it : -lrb- +147 Gloves POS 5 I own one pair of glove of 12 OZ , i have to say that this glove be more than great , and i be not a fan , why i say this : 1 -rrb- best glove this price -lrb- less than 35 buck -rrb- 2 -rrb- the material be very good , they will last very long 3 -rrb- the color be durable , it do not scratch or get 's decolor 4 -rrb- they be very confortable , and they have swet technology -lrb- it mean that even if you swet , they wont smell or stink -rrb- 5 -rrb- you hand be very protected -lrb- the finger and the front part of the hand -rrb- I be undecided about buy the 12 OZ , the 14 OZ or the 16 OZ , I go for the 12 Oz because for heavy bag practice they be the best , why ? because you hand like the heavy bag be very harsh , they need better contact , if you have big glove -lrb- 16 OZ -rrb- there be a lot of space in the glove , and you finger no matter if you have handwrap , be able to move inside , and that might cause you a broken finger or to get hurt -rrb- in the other . so the 12 OZ be perfect for heavy bag . in the other hand , if you want good glove for spar , then you need to buy the 14 OZ or even better 16 OZ glove , because they will make you work more you hand and you 'll gain speed , also no one will practice with you with smaller glove , because the impact of smaller glove be stronger as they have less material you hand impact will be more direct . for heavy bag if you buy the 12 OZ glove , depend on you hand strenght you probably will not need handwrap , because the glove be very confortable as i mention before , and they will fit you hand perfectly . HOW to CHOSE A SIZE ? i have trouble choose the right size , because almost no one publish a review about how to pick the right size so that be the first reazon why i write this . 1 -rrb- if you be less than 5 ' 4 Height go for the 12 to 10 OZ glove for heavy bag , and for spar go for the 14 OZ . 2 -rrb- if you be less than 5 ' 9 height , but 5 ' 5 or more , go for the 12 Oz for heavy bag and the 16 Oz for spar . 3 -rrb- if you be more than 5 ' 9 height for heavy bag use the 12 or the 14 Oz glove depend ond how big or not be you hand , and for spar the 16 Oz . AGAINST , -lrb- this be excellent glove to start boxing or have boxing initial class , in case you have some time practice you might want to pick more prof. glove -rrb- . enjoy they !!! +459 Gloves POS 5 these be great glove for light to medium work . I live on a large wooded lot and mother nature , especially lately , have make sure that I have to clear a lot of brush and do a lot of chain sawing , and they be perfect for pick up branch , log , etc. . they be also perfect for change the chain because they protect you hand and allow for great dexterity . I be not sure what people be do with they that wear they out , but mine show no sign of wear through . I just buy two more pair - one to keep in my car and another for non-greasy work . I have get a lot of chain see oil on the original pair and so reserve they for dirty work . another plus be that they fit tightly enough that I can wear they inside my mitten when I snow blow . they keep my hand warmer and when I have to take the mitten off to do something , I be not bare handed . +387 Gloves POS 5 I be extremely happy with these Harbinger pro FlexClosure glove that I order through Amazon . the material be comfortable for my hand , and the leather grip be excellent for hold weight , dumbbell , or other gym equipment . the velcro closure tab be sturdy but nothing special . I will comment like other here that the glove size run just a `` tad bit small\/tight '' . so if you be unsure what size you should order , you should consider round up to the next larger size than what you usually wear . very happy with these , I be tempt to order a spare set of these glove . +876 Gloves POS 5 this be a excellent product for those who exercise in the water . I use they regularly . they fit well and seem very durable . +637 Gloves POS 4 these glove end up a little small for a medium but hopefully they stretch out a little , but great for the price ! thx ! +332 Gloves POS 4 boy have I have a hard time find a pair of weight lifting glove ! my previous one be simple leather Saranac glove , not much padding but they last for several year . the leather eventually rot out form huge hole . but I can definitely say that the Saranac glove be awesome . now onto the replacement . I try four different type of glove . harbinger 143 Harbinger 1260 Harbinger 1215 Big Grip II GoFit Diamond-Trac The Harbinger 143 glove be ok . they do not have too much padding , but fit very snug and be difficult to get off . also , the finger be short . the Harbinger 1260 and 1215 be both unusable due to have too much padding in the palm and knuckle area . the padding be comfortable for press exercise -lrb- e.g. bench press -rrb- , but make it all but impossible to do pull exercise -lrb- e.g. pull up , curl , deadlift , row , etc. -rrb- . you can try they yourselve , but save some money and take my word for it . the GoFit Diamond-Trac glove be the best of the bunch for my need . they have a little padding in the palm , but not enough to interfere with you grip . they be lightweight , so I be not sure how long they 'll last , but I 'll reserve judgment on that . they do make my hand sweat , because the neoprene on the back do not seem to breathe well . they run a little larger in size than the other glove . also , I like that they have a finger tab to help you pull off the glove . please be kind enough to indicate if review be helpful . +123 Gloves POS 5 I order the large accord to they size chart and the fit be just perfect . snug but not tight . they flex well with my hand and provide adequate padding . only thing i can say bad about they be the padding in the finger make it a little difficult to hold on to do reverse curl with palm face out . but then i just take the glove off or hold extra tight . a excellent pair of lift glove . highly recommend . : -rrb- +91 Gloves POS 4 I have use these Speedo Aqua Fit train swim glove for about a week and compare to my previous product with the flimsy nylon top , these baby be substantial . you clearly feel the add pull effort in you shoulder and lat . I measure my palm and I select the medium size . unfortunately the thumb be make for a different primate than I ... LOL . I should have select the large size glove . I can still use they but the construction of the web\/thumb interface negate the benefit of measure you palm as the basis for size . they be make of thick neoprene . I 'll wear these until they wear out then I 'll order a Larger size . I also go with the bright yellow glove as one reviewer think they seem to be construct more solidly . I do not think that have much to do with the thumb\/web issue describe . I can move through the water with normal swimming or use they with my stationary workout in my exercise pool while tethered via a swim belt without any noticeable `` ballooning '' of the glove . they be snug . perhaps they will stretch a little with time . I dry they on a round plastic container for slight stretch . these glove be a excellent value . great offering by Amazon ! +402 Gloves POS 5 I have be wait to write this review until I know whether or not this product be go to last or not . I have be use these glove for about a year now and they have yet to rip yet at all . they be now all break in and feel very comfortable . they also still be protect my hand just as well as the first day -lrb- but now they be form better to my hand -rrb- . I have even recommend that a few of my friend get these glove as well . they be quite inexpensive and in my experience they have last quite well . hopefully they will last as well for you . +957 Gloves POS 5 I have be use these glove 3-4 day a week for nearly 6 month now . they be still in great condition and cleaning be a breeze . the material be of high quality and the grip be perfect , not too much grip yet weight will not slip . highly recommend ! +794 Gloves POS 5 sturdy , effective resistance glove at reasonable price . I take a man 's large in glove , but buy a medium as it be stretchable neoprene and I prefer a little snug rather than loose material across the palm . -lrb- actually like another manufacturer 's full finger , web , thin nylon glove slightly better , but they be affect by pool chlorine and wear out too quickly . -rrb- +954 Gloves POS 5 great product for increase intensity for upper body in aquatic exercise . far superior to lycra glove I have use in the past . would recommend for anyone look for result . sign , a water fitness instructor +572 Gloves POS 4 take the advise of the other reviewer seriously ! Order one size larger ! I do that and the xxl fit I snug . the padding be what I would call medium - which be just what I want . you can easily close you hand around a weight bar but there be some decent cushioning . the only reason I do not give five star be that the wrist strap can kind of distract and irritate just a little . also , I have only have these for about a month and use they probably ten time . so I can not say how they 'll hold up ... except that these replace another pair of harbinger that finally fall apart after about 5 year . that be pretty good for weight-lifting glove that get use -lrb- and sweat in -rrb- a lot . I do not bother do anything to take care of they either . these be soft leather and quite comfortable aside from the wrist thing I mention . they also feel sturdy which make I think they will last five year like my last pair do . +260 Gloves POS 4 I use they for surfing . it do work you out more and you do get tire more use they but that be only in the first 2 or 3 week . you do have to be careful because you can injury you shoulder if you try to use they with all you strength all the time . when I go out there without they I do feel stronger . they do not help to keep you warm , but they do not make you that much colder either , so there you go . - Chris +83 Gloves NEG 1 buy these glove . no wrist wrap and there be no wrist support whatsoever . try use these to bench press - better off with glove that have wrist wrap . would not buy another pair and would not recommend they to anyone . +426 Gloves POS 5 can not go wrong with Mechanix wear glove . I use to buy the one with the wrist strap , but not anymore . the fast fit glove slide right onto you hand and no strap to deal with . certainly a preferred method imo . +304 Gloves POS 5 I have use many glove over the year and these have definately prove themselves to be the best so far . they be a little tight but after month of use at 300 lb plus of weight at a time they be still hold up just fine . +791 Gloves POS 5 these glove be the bee ' knee . they fit snugly without be overtight and have just the right amount of cushioning . I normally have my glove last year , so will have to see how long these last . I have get no reason to think they will not though . I be thoroughly pleased I buy they . +410 Gloves POS 5 these glove really add to my water exercise experience . I love they . they create more resistance and give more water exercise option . they fit true to size . great product . +425 Gloves NEG 2 these may be decent glove for beginner but if you be a decent amateur fighter , train semus seriously , or throw heavy punch on the bag , pick another glove . I use these glove for about 3 week and the middle knuckle on my left hand be start to hurt from throw a lot of jab . I think I be just go to have to bite the bullet and buy a more expensive more serious hook and loop glove as these just dont do the job . +564 Gloves POS 5 so far , I have get these cover in crap work on my truck three time , all three time wash they and they come out look like new . already save my hand once when a breaker bar slip and slam my hand into the truck . I would buy another pair . +130 Gloves NEG 2 these glove be good entry level glove , I see many people give they five start but perhaps they have not try Grant or Cleto Reyes , if you be a boxing fan look at the glove they wear , they do away with everlast because of the quality , they be cheap , I buy a pair myself when I first start in Muay Thai and now I also train in american boxing , but as become a better and stronger fighter I begin to experiment with better quality equipment , so I give my old Everlast glove away . I love cleto and still use they but they run a little big , I love Grants even more , the quality and material of both brand be a lot better than Everlast , you may pay 100 buck more but you if you be not serious about you training or if you punch like a little boy stay with Everlast but if you really train like I do and profesional boxer , and fighter do the research and try out Grants or Cletos you 'll feel the diffence in the foam and the 100 % leather workmanship . believe I Everlast be just a entry level glove . +28 Gloves POS 5 this be perfect for my need in the pool . I be use they for aqua therapy to increase strength . they help I stay move in water when swimming and help I with resistance when do arm exercise . +379 Gloves POS 5 the Speedo Aqua glove have change my life and level of thumb pain . I have arthritis in my thumb joint . before use the glove during swimming , I massage the thumb joint constantly to eliminate the tightness and pain . after purchase the glove as a alternative to water weight , the pain diminish significantly . the glove seem to stretch the tendon thus reduce the tightness for the rest of the day . kudos for a simple solution to a painful problem . +306 Gloves NEG 1 I have just buy my first and last pair of ironclad glove because I be very disappoint with the fit and feel . this glove be just a bmx glove with a cute name . the `` original '' glove make by Mechanix wear be a far superior product because it be design specifically for use as a work glove . but do not just take my word for it , try they both and I be sure you 'll agree that the Mechanix glove be a much better product . +987 Gloves POS 5 these be great glove ! I be on the my second pair -lrb- only because I have lose one glove -rrb- and they be simply perfect - strong , comfortable , close fitting , extremely durable and well make . five star . +166 Gloves POS 5 First of all , many thanks to all the other reviewer who mention that these run large . I wear a XL glove , so I be go to order this in XL . very glad I do not - the l size fit just fine , and now that I have one , it be clear the XL would have be too big . that tip from the other reviewer save I some return postage - thanks ! in term of the actual glove , it be great . fit fine , and appear well make . very secure velcro closure on the wrist . I use mine for aqua aerobic and to add a `` boost '' to my swimming workout . I have use the plastic hand paddle in the past - they be helpful in give more resistance , but be rather awkward to use . these - if you 'll forgive the inevitable pun - fit like a glove and do not get in the way . you can increase or decrease resistance by just expand or close you hand . a word of caution - if you have never use hand paddle or webbed glove before for exercise , go slow at first . you be put a lot more strain on you muscle , especially the shoulder . take it easy at first until you get a feel for the workout , then slowly increase duration and speed . a bit of care will prevent a lot of pain ! +527 Gloves POS 5 I purchase 2 pair of glove for a friend of mine and for myself . I be look for this purchase since a long time ago and take advantage of the recent low price on this item . ship be free and I be very pleased with the quality and the ease of use of the glove . they sure be thin yet strong enough to protect you hand while work . I use they to fix my car mostly . I would recommend this purchase . +406 Gloves NEG 1 THESE GLOVES be not either waterfroof or ZERO PLUS CONDITION , THEY get soaked quik and the liner break OFF REALLY EASY , I end up RIPPING the liner OUT and USE THEM AS A NORMAL GENERAL DUTY GLOVE ... UNFORTUNATELY THERE be not many glove that SUIT those characteristic , I be a BIG IRONCLAD FAN BUT THESE DO not live to THEIR EXPECTATION ... ... terrible !! +359 Gloves POS 4 I go thru wheelchair glove quickly . I use they to propel but I also use they as my brake . so I give these a 4 rating just because they be a little bit harder to get off my hand than my other glove have be . it could be that they be snug or a bit smaller than the other brand I have use so keep that in mind when size . what I love be they be durable . I have use they , wash they , -lrb- no dryer -rrb- and wear they over and over . the place I ususally wear they out and get hole in be hold up really well . the padding in the place I need they seem to be thick enough for my comfort . even go down hill I do not get that hot feeling from friction . I like my finger to be out but that be just preference . also , I can still walk some , so I be not 100 % in my chair . I can transfer in and out by myself and can propel myself for the most part . my own personal recommendation be to have at least 2 pair so that you can wash one and have one ready to go ! +38 Gloves POS 4 I be only do kickboxing and the glove work great for I ! no complaint . I go almost everyday and they have hold up fine . +492 Gloves POS 5 I be a general contractor , and recently outfit my company with ironclad heavy utility glove . we be work on a 25 unit townhouse project - develop the land , lay foundation , construct unit , landscaping , etc. . throughout each phase of the job , my guy wear ironclad . not only do the glove outlast every job they be use on , they be the most comfortable and capable glove I have ever worn . the fit be unreal - a tough glove that fit perfectly - truly a gift from the god ! +799 Gloves POS 4 overall the glove be pretty good . the styling be functional basic black , no frill , nothing fancy , do not need a matching jump suit to wear they . if you be like I and crack a sweat when you be in the gym , the wash and dry option be nice to have . in one of the image on the item description there be a note about cut out the webbing between the middle finger , this be a pretty uncomfortable area and do need to be remove . turn the glove inside out , and a quick cut with scissors do the job . +765 Gloves NEG 2 the glove have a tear in they when I recieve they , something I think should be check and look over before they ship the product out , could have happen in shipping I do not know but the location of the tear I do not think so , but I can say Amazon accept the return with no problem . also the glove be a really tight fit for a 16 oz glove , I end up re-purchasing from Amazon and get the Protex2 Training Gloves for $ 18 more but they fit much better . would not reccomend the Everlast pro Style train Glove if you have fairly large hand , my hand be not really huge but average size for a man . +297 Gloves NEG 1 another reviewer -lrb- by Cameron Scholtz Phoenix , AZ USA -rrb- who post picture get it right . he have to cut the webbing of the glove .

I try four different type of glove . harbinger 143 Harbinger 1260 Harbinger 1215 Big Grip II GoFit Diamond-Trac The Harbinger 143 glove be ok . they do not have too much padding , but fit very snug and be difficult to get off . also , the finger be short . the Harbinger 1260 and 1215 be both unusable due to have too much padding in the palm and knuckle area . the padding be comfortable for press exercise -lrb- e.g. bench press -rrb- , but make it all but impossible to do pull exercise -lrb- e.g. pull up , curl , deadlift , row , etc. -rrb- . you can try they yourselve , but save some money and take my word for it . the GoFit Diamond-Trac glove be the best of the bunch for my need . they have a little padding in the palm , but not enough to interfere with you grip . they be lightweight , so I be not sure how long they 'll last , but I 'll reserve judgment on that . they do make my hand sweat , because the neoprene on the back do not seem to breathe well . they run a little larger in size than the other glove . also , I like that they have a finger tab to help you pull off the glove . please be kind enough to indicate if review be helpful . +870 Gloves POS 5 these be heavy duty , thick glove . some user may be use to \/ prefer they glove on the thinner side . thankfully , I read some review and actually measure my hand in the manner recommend by the manufacturer prior to order . base upon a old pair of glove I have my first instinct be to order a size medium . base upon Harbinger 's size guide , I be right on the break between size large and x-large . base upon reviewer comment , I go with the x-large size . and , I be glad I do . they fit very snugly and I can not imagine the large size would even fit I . +342 Gloves POS 4 I lift intensely four time a week , and this glove offer great protection and will last you up to a year . very good buy , especially for the price . +680 Gloves NEG 1 these glove be comfortable to wear , however the leather separate and disintegrate on the middle finger on the SECOND use . these be not heavy duty glove as advertise . not even light duty glove . very disappoint . +256 Gloves NEG 2 I have a pair of these for about a week before the lining pull out of the finger . once the lining have pull away from the stitch it be next to impossible to put the glove back on . you basically just jam the finger hole with the lining since it will no longer straighten out . I end up remove the lining completely and use they as normal mechanic glove . as for cold weather glove they be marginal at best be good to around 20f before you finger start freezing . above 40 you hand begin to sweat cause the lining to stick to you finger which , for I anyway , cause the lining to pull out as I state above . do not waste you money . +124 Gloves POS 4 these be good everyday gardening glove but not up to really heavy-duty use . I be mostly look for something that would fit comfortably for casual garden chore , and these do . but for those of we with big paw , it would be nice if a larger size be offer .

I play the new game skyrim and think that I would be able to crank up the option to `` Ultra '' . the auto detect in the game give the new card a `` high '' when the old card only have a `` medium '' on the scale of `` low '' to `` Ultra '' . my frame rate at the auto detect display quality stay about the same , I have `` v-sink '' enable , so both top out at 60fp , and neither go below 30fp . then I customize the set to the `` Ultra '' level , except for shadow quality , Anti-Aliasing , Anti-Scopic Filtering which I put on `` medium '' , 2 , and 4 respectively . at this point the frame rate with the new GTX 560tus be better than the 8800gtx by about 60 % use a third party app call Fraps to gauge the two . next I change to option for shadow quality , Anti-Aliasing , Anti-Scopic Filtering to `` high '' , 4 , and 8 respectively and the 8800gtx just about beg for mercy , although the 560tus handle the change with frame rate from 20fp to 60 + . this be a nice graphic card , I be not as pleased with my upgrade from the 8800gtx to the GTX 560tus as I be then I go from my 5900gtx to the 8800gtx . +722 GraphicsCard POS 5 the video card be just what I need and I know the product before cause I have one once before and it be and still be play game 's with the grandson now ... +593 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have one 7970 dd black and it be a great replacement for my old 6970 .

I write the review a couple a week ago when the price here be $ 799 , $ 200 over retail , which sicken I . the card perform very well , and overclock to 1200gpu\/1600mem with no effort whatsoever . the only word of caution be to watch the temp . it get 's hotter than most other 7970 despite the dual cooler . but XFX be a good brand for those who oc . they support ocing and modding -lrb- you must notify XFX and get approval of you plan mod before you do it -rrb- with a lifetime warranty on this product , unlike every other manufacturer that void the warranty of any evidence of modification exist . +813 GraphicsCard NEG 1 buy this for a work computer run window 7 with the intention to switch away from d-sub to DVI , the card work in bio and when driver be not install , but when you install driver the DVI port fail , unfortunately i cant return it because the boss do not want to deal with shipping and replace it and take a mission critical machine down for the time it would take to get a replacement . note on this product , i be not in anyway say the seller be bad , and i will buy from he in the future , im just say this component be bad . +325 GraphicsCard POS 5 install be straight forward and easy . have it now for a little over a week and seem speedier than the board it replace . do not get hot so passive cooler work fine . good bargain for those of we not into gaming .

I have only purchase card with after market cooler for the past 3 generation but I just could not wait to try out the 7970 . I be happy to say that while gaming , I do not notice a difference in fan noise . if anything , it run cooler than my previous setup -lrb- obviously crossfire have a lot to do with it -rrb- and it may be actually quieter . while the Lightnings have a excellent hsf along with all sort of other custom part , the 7970 's 28nm process just really nullify the need for a monster hsf setup . plenty of great review out there on the interwebz , go read those . just want to 5 star this because of the fool with the 3 star review spread fud . +634 GraphicsCard POS 5 after make the decision to buy this item I begin to investigate as you do for cheaper price . in New Zealand I find that the price for a normal version of this card be nearly $ 450 nzd . this card be only $ 350 - $ 370 -lrb- include shipping nzd ! as this be my first purchase I have ever make on the internet I be very pleased how easy Amazon make it . during the purchase I have a few question to ask Amazon which I find a bit difficult . I be tell that I would get a dvd copy of Deus ex promotion which be run at the time , unfortunately I do not but I do not mind as this product have so many extra that would keep I occupied such as the Dirt 3 game ! I be very surprised at the speed of delivery from America all the way to wee NZ , 7 day ! incredible ! the packing be very easy to open and I be happy with the amount of recyclable material include . everything inside be still in excellent condition and although I need a new case to try it -lrb- quite big video card -rrb- I can not wait to try it ! pro - very cheap - very impressive shipping speed - many extra - awesome video card - quality product - recyclable material con - unclear information from customer service -lrb- very friendly though ! -rrb- -lrb- that about it ! +573 GraphicsCard POS 5 this GPU be everything I hope for . it defiantly get the job do and more . because this card be dynamic it make it easy to get almost everything out of this card . I would recommend this card to anyone . the only downside to this card right now be the price , but since it be just release you be get the top of the line . it should last for a good while . good Job EVGA and thank you . +183 GraphicsCard POS 5 I replace my aging GeForce 8800 gt in my Mac pro -lrb- 2008 -rrb- . it output video without any flash but do not function correctly or display video at boot . after use Netkas Romcreator with the EFI rom , and then flash the card in os x 10.7 with zue flash -lrb- 2.3 -rrb- , I be able to flash the card and it function natively in OS X. Works in both my 10.6.8 and 10.7 and of course Windows 7 . Video performance be good , card be pretty quiet . however Mac user will lose functionality of the top DVI port but the other port should work fine . its nice be able to play most game at 2560 x 1600 . quite happy with my purchase , its a good cheap upgrade and have put a little more life into my aging Mac pro . +552 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card be the best graphic card i have every own period . it annihilate any game i through at it . even the most GPU intensive game like Metro 2033 , battlefield 3 , Crysis 1 & 2 , & Witcher 2 . and even better it be one of the most quiet card ive own also . I have the 6990 before and it sound like a lawn mower . I can recommend this card to anyone , hand down . sure a 580 slus will beat it by @ 10-20 % more performance in some game . but a what cost $ 1000-1100 for 580 slus . best thing be this card come with warranty that even cover overclocking ! WOW ! +716 GraphicsCard NEU 3 Update 20 June , 2012 : the issue describe below be indeed due to the idle clock speed . the RAM and GPU clock speed be too low . when something use hardware acceleration -lrb- so it go from low clock speed to high -rrb- the change in frequency cause screen flicker and other issue -lrb- jerky movie , etc -rrb- . they can be manually adjust via Catalyst 's configuration file , however unlike gigabyte which have release a bio fix , Sapphire be yet to do so . another issue I experience with this card and something that can plague other mid to high end card be that of coil whine . it be a buzz , whiny noise when the card be perform something under medium to high load -lrb- such as play game -rrb- . it be relatively common and nothing to really worry about , however something to keep in mind . Cards with this be not really defective as such , however most place allow return as the sound can get annoying depend on where you have you pc position . the card do run game well though . mass effect 3 run perfectly smooth at the highest setting . so these card can handle game extremely well for the price . original review : the card run nice and cool . even after play Diablo 3 for a while -lrb- at max setting -rrb- it work well . albeit some issue with diablo 3 itself and vsync . the price be excellent for such a well perform card ... BUT ... I do however find some annoying issue with it , which should not be a problem out of the box , but unfortunately be . the main one so far be that the screen would flicker when browse or use some low GPU usage application . when browse Amazon for instance , the screen would quickly flicker on\/off . at first I think it be a faulty mouse scroll wheel , but it be not . it be a bug with the idle 2d clock speed of the card apparently . give that I intend to use the card for more than just gaming , this can get rather annoying , hence the 3 star rating . if Sapphire release a bio fix , I would happily give this card 5 star ! +557 GraphicsCard POS 5 buy this card a while back . want a temporary upgrade between computer . I do not expect such a upgrade from my fx5200 128mb , but the difference be remarkable . I try to play Elder Scrolls 4 oblivion on my fx5200 and I could not even squeeze 2-3 fp -- even with oldblivion -- but when I install the 6200 , I be play the game almost without a hitch ! after that , I mess around a little and maxed-out the graphical setting and resolution and could manage about 15 fp -- in the start tutorial part . after I get out into the open world I could not manage 10 fp , even with the graphic down . nonetheless , this card be very impressive for the price . would recommend it to anyone look for a card in this price range ! ~ just to put my test in a better perspective : Windows xp sp3 AMD Athlon xp 3000 + @ 2.1 GHz 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM 500GB 7200RPM HDD 250w OME PSU and say video card +385 GraphicsCard POS 4 this product do what it say . I get it for work purpose so that I do not have to keep splitting the screen to compare document side by side . I now be able to view 1 document on each screen and drag and drop any window that I have open between the two screen . the only downside be that the monitor that I have run off this adapter have funky color , depend what be on the screen . anything that be light blue will show up as a bright aqua color . also another thing I notice be there be a tiny delay on anything I be viewing\/moving on this same monitor . keep in mind I be use a older flat screen monitor , which could be the reason for the color change -lrb- I 'll update my review once this monitor die -rrb- . also the delay might be from the RAM or something . the desktop computer I use at work be a few year old . but I do love it and the ease of hook it up . and I love that it do what it say . I would give 5 star if not for the color problem and delay . +19 GraphicsCard POS 5 i get it like 2 week ago to replace my hd 5870 my 5870 be fine card i have to replace it because my new monitor lead Cinema Display 27 inch which it have only mini display connector and my 5870 do not so this thing crank my new monitor aggressively every thing be on max except the aa in battlefield 3 it cant run on 60 fp and i think everybody know that but when i turn AA off there be no difference my eye can catch but a huge improvement in performance 60 + fp and a massive ultra setting with 2560x1440 high resolution get this card you wont regret it and you may save some good cash and have 10 - fp by get on of those 7950 be just release i would get em if i do not get my new card by the way if i can measure my new 7970 with the 5870 i will say its equal for 3 5870 's in crossfire with 100 % scaling , i would not hesitate to get a new 7970 when i have the buck . +887 GraphicsCard POS 5 I get this card for my first gaming rig - I have have it for a month now , and so far so good . it have not fail I at all , I be always get a solid 60 + fp in every game I have . pro : Plays Battlefield 3 on ULTRA ! -lrb- look sexy -rrb- , Crysis 1-2 on ultra , Skyrim on ultra , and pretty much every other game on max setting . the card stay very cool under 60c , and very quiet too . con : not a con for I but a head up for everyone else : this be a big card ! Make sure it 'll fit in you case . if you be look for a card to play every game you have on max setting and not want to pay a lot for a 7000 series card then go for this one . I do not regret it , and neither will you . +694 GraphicsCard NEG 2 be look forward to upgrade dual ATI 4650 card to a superior single card . I run triple monitor and want better single card performance with triple monitor support since the motherboard do not support crossfire . after research higher level card and conclude many require a higher power supply than my 460w I decide the 6770 be the GPU I need . I choose this card base on the XFX name , a good after rebate price of $ 88 and mostly positive review . after install and find triple monitor could not be support by a Displayport to HDMI cable that I also purchase -lrb- the Displayport to HDMI cable must be a active or power cable that cost 30-50 dollar -rrb- I decide to install the card in a identical second pc in the house . both pc 's have core i-7 and could benefit from better graphic card . unfortunately the fan noise in both installation be unbearable as a few have also write about so I be return it . for I I find this to be a major flaw in the design of the card as the noise negate any positive of the upgrade in performance that I might have gain . I hope I be able to find a better build -lrb- quieter -rrb- 6770 card as the spec for the 6770 be optimum for my pc 's . +958 GraphicsCard POS 4 this graphic card be nicely price . it be easy to install and work very well . there a some occasional hiccup , but overall I be satisfied with it as I be use it with a older desktop that have the AGP slot that feed internet to my hdtv screen . +458 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be the first hardware upgrade I have do for my computer , this and a 600w psu I pick up to run the card with . I have a phenom ii x6 CPU 2.6 GHz . I expect Skyrim to only run at about high and it run ultra with a average of 55-65fp outside . in building , usually 110fps !! dungeon be about 35-45fp . the lowest I get be in town at about 25fp , but only for a few seconds , it will bounce right back up to 60 and it do not make the game unplayable , its really great . I install 2k resolution and add a lot of additional graphic mod to Skyrim , as well as set aa and af to max . I have hear the 680 be not much better and the 690 be overkill . so this card be one of the best deal you can get as of 2012 . the only way I could make it better be improve my CPU and obviously if you be a high roller with multiple monitor and a need for speed , you can SLI -lrb- something I would not recommend since it would only give minimal improvement for $ 400 more . -rrb- its a great card ! sleek , its giant compare to my other one , but even after hour of play the card only reach 67c , I do not have it oc would and it run everything I have throw at it - even Minecraft . +698 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I buy this card as a upgrade to my Sapphire hd5750 . this card be well build , not flashy and very powerful ! it install fairly easily , although I have to move my hard drive to a different slot in my case as this card span the entire inside of my Antec 900 case . the performance be amazing . battlefield 3 run at 80 + fp on Ultra @ 1280x1024 . on high\/ultra hybrid I be get 120 + fp . last night I notice some choppiness while play . I exit my game to try and free up some resource and start get artifact -lrb- video error -rrb- on my screen . my display freeze , go blank and then return say the driver crash and be recover . it loop this way forever .

I have do no modification , over clock etc. to any of my hardware . the GPU sit at a comfortable 45-48c and never have fan issue . see the video below for the artifacting . I check a `` Egg Themed '' online retailer and find that there be 7 of 127 review that be negative . almost all of they seem to have the same freezing artifact issue , so it do not appear to be a fluke . all this be say , I be still go to get this card .

Mid price for top performance card . beware : 1 - you need a case big enough to house this card , its not monster size but its not short either 2 - a reputable brand psu with 2x 6 pin pcie power connector and by a REPUTABLE BRAND PSU I mean that you common `` 1.2 Gigawatt , make in China '' PSU will not be able to provide the juice necessary to power this puppy stably . 3 - good case cooling . +403 GraphicsCard POS 4 before this product , I have previously own a evga gtx470 . EVGA have yet to disappoint I with there video card . the Nvidia gtx670 install without a hitch , boot up the first time I put my computer together -lrb- new build of everything -rrb- and overclock like a dream . there be many graphic card out there , but if you want to go the Nvidia route , then EVGA put together top notch product . and there own overclocking software -lrb- precision x -rrb- work seamlessly with this card , though it will work for all Nvidia product . the bad though , as with all video card these day be the size . even with a motherboard design for three way sli\/crossfire fit more then one card in you system will be a pain . +782 GraphicsCard POS 5 Easy to install and do everything it say it would . make easy work out of set up a dual monitor on a computer that do not have a dual video card and a power supply too small to support change to a dual card . +298 GraphicsCard POS 5 I upgrade to the gtx 590 from a ATI Radeon 5970 and I be happy to say that I go from a 3dmark11 score of 6800 to 9k ! my framerate on bf3 go from a average of 35 to 75 ! I be very pleased with the performance of this card and while it be pricey , the game experience be worth every penny ! I hope that this card stay on top of the performance ranking for awhile so I do not have to buy a second unit and run they in SLI ! +187 GraphicsCard POS 5 no problem so far , everything work at it should ! I would definitely recommend it to anyone ! the price be good too ! +111 GraphicsCard NEU 3 I install the card as part of my upgrade . the installation be simple and without issue . the card be not a good card for game playing , but be good for general use , and movie . great price . win 7 performance score be about 4.2 . +687 GraphicsCard POS 5 I recently receive my Zotac gtx 680 and I can not be more satisfied ! I upgrade from a MSI Twin Frozr II gtx 580 and I be so glad I do . I be first a little worried about the temperature of the gtx 680s reach well above 75c but I be amaze I have not see any temperature higher than 63-65c on this card . another concern I have be that since this be a reference card the fan would be loud consider my twin frozr gtx 580 be super quiet even at high load . rest assure this card be silent and I have not hear any difference in sound since install and run this card . I have not tempt to overclock or tweak the card and I be get amazing performance on all current game . battlefield 3 on all setting Ultra with 4xmsaa , 16xaf , and hbao at 1920x1080 , I be get no less than 60-70fps even on the larger map like Caspian Border or Gulf of Oman . my temp while run Battlefield stay in the low 60c to high 50c ! compare to my gtx 580 at these setting I would be dip into the 50-60fps with the same setting and the temp would be very close to the 680 . I have also run Batman Arkham City and this card blow away my 580 . with all setting max and physx on medium I be stay well above 60fp . I can not believe how well this card perform for the price . if you be in the market for a new card , please do not look past the gtx 680 . also , the zotac 680 be the only card as of now that be throw in 3 free game -lrb- assassin creed 1 , 2 , revelation -rrb- plus a extra 2 year on top of the already 3 year warranty . I pay more for my MSI gtx 580 a year ago and I be get way better performance , just as good cooling , and 3 free game for less ! satisfied ! pc spec : Intel I5-2500k at 4.0 ghz Asrock Extreme 4 gen 3 motherboard G.

ASUS Vh236h 23inch lcd monitor at 1080p +103 GraphicsCard POS 4 I purchase this graphic card back in November , and so far it have run most game at high setting with 45-60 fp . I manage to find one for around $ 140 , and for the price , it be not bad . if you manage to get two of these in crossfire , you should be all set with graphics-intensive game such as battlefield 3 , Witcher 2 , and so on . +737 GraphicsCard NEG 1 card not recognize as a ATI card by ATI driver installation . could not find a Dell driver for it either . useless . +501 GraphicsCard POS 5 buy this to replace my tri-sli gtx470 setup and I be SOOOO glad I do ! this gtx 670 be a monster ! the 1.2 gb vram of the 470 's be hold I back ! I game at 6000x1080 -lrb- 3x 24 `` hd monitor + bezel correction -rrb- and I be struggle to run battlefield 3 at medium setting . I swap for this single gtx 670 4gb and now I manage 30 + fp on ultra ! the only thing I turn down be AA to 2xmsaa ; Motion Blur to OFF -lrb- I like the effect , but to rank with the best , I turn it off -rrb- and turn down aliasing post to `` low . '' as a add benefit , the 670 only consume 220watt -lrb- with my overclock setting ; 200 + core , 175 + Mem -rrb- which be NOTHING compare to my 700watt + draw with my OC ` ed 470 's . my oc ` ed 670 top at 70C max at 70 % fan . highly recommend for triple monitor\/high re gamer ! I also recommend this 4gb version versus any 2gb version . battlefield 3 at 6000x1080 and Ultra setting use 1.8 gb of vram . IMHO , it be worth the extra $ 50 for the 4gb . I forsee future game pass the 2gb mark -lrb- which would bottleneck on the 2gb card -rrb- such as Crysis 3 and Far Cry 3 . especially with high-re texture pack ! for those who be not aware , vram do not scale with slus either -lrb- so do not look for sli-ing two 2gb card to solve this -rrb- . although I have three 1.28 gb 470 's , they do not combine to create `` 3.84 gb '' of vRAM . each graphic card get `` load '' with the same file . then they split the render process between they . SO , I still only have 1.28 gb of vram total . pro : out perform my three gtx470 's at 1\/3rd the wattage ! run Cool and Quiet -lrb- especially compare to my 470 's -rrb- have 4gb option -lrb- which I highly recommend for high-re gamer -rrb- con : price ? -lrb- but seriously , do not buy what you can not afford -- and I doubt this matter since you know these card exist so you know what you be get into LOL -rrb- a + by my standard !

I be not a gamer or movie watcher on my pc . +611 GraphicsCard POS 4 I buy this card so I could have dual monitor on my main desktop machine . I use this machine mainly for programming task . the card perform quite well for what I need . I have also stream some hd video and the card work well for that . I have not try it with any game as I be not much of a gamer . the card be perfectly adequate for what I be use for , however , and installation be a breeze . I can not really ask for anything more than that . +82 GraphicsCard POS 5 I want to play some low end game on my good ol 2004 Dell Optiplex GX-270 slim line computer . I also need to have a low profile card , so after a bunch of look around I come across this GeFoce 6200 512MB AGP card . these be not easy to find . after I read a bunch of review , and discover I do not have much of a selection to choose from for low profile card , this card fit the bill . after receive my card from UPS I immediately install it , and it load with out a hitch . for the price and availability this be a very nice card for boost you graphic , for the average computer user . +184 GraphicsCard POS 5 pick up two of these card , as my 4 yr future proofing project . and let I tell you , unless something remarkable come out push the limit of pc gaming ... this card be awesome . I be able to run battlefield 3 , Crysis and Batman on Ultra setting with a 26 inch monitor on 1080p push 60 fp . bottom line ... if it be graphic performance you want , get this . card go up to 34-39 under heavy load which isnt bad . the only downfall of the card be the the fan when kick in sound like a aircraft take off . other than that ... highly worth it . my system spec ... 2 x Corsair Vengeance 12 gb -lrb- 3 x 4 gb -rrb- = 24gb 2 x Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 1 x OCZ Technology 240 gb agility 3 ssd - 3g sa 6.0 gb-s 2.5-inch solid state drive 1 x Western Digital Caviar Green 1 tb sa iii 1 x Intel Core i7-980 Processor 3.3 Ghz lga-1366 -lrb- bx80613i7980 -rrb- Intel Core i7-980 Processor 3.3 Ghz lga-1366 1 x Corsair Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance liquid CPU Cooler -lrb- cwch100 -rrb- Corsair Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance liquid CPU Coole 1 x evga Intel X58 and ICH10R Chipset EATX ddr3 800 LGA 1366 Motherboards 141-GT-E770-A1 EVGA Intel x58 and ich10r Chipset EATX ddr3 800 LGA 1366 Motherboards 141-gt-e770-a1 1 x Cooler Master Cosmos II full Tower Case 1 x enermax MAXREVO Series EMR1350EWT 1350W atx12v 4 x cougar cf-v12h Vortex hydro-dynamic-bearing -lrb- fluid -rrb- 300,000 hour 12cm silent cooling fan +48 GraphicsCard POS 5 although this card be purchase at Amazon late in July , the date manufacture be new and be the latest bio . boost clock be increase to 1215 mhz with the default setting of PrecisionX , and it demonstrate the wonderful performance . as a side note , since this card be improve the performance by over clock , the temperature of a card become a little high . it be better to balance GPU clock , room temperature and air flow from this reason . finally , thank you for this great card . +583 GraphicsCard POS 4 I like it and its work well , very quiet in my use . I be not a major gamer . I be also not sure that it be a major upgrade in speed over my old nVidia gtx275 but it do have the hdmus output I want . assume the $ 30 mir work , I be happy with the product and price , but it be poor timing on my part since at the same time the gtx 660 TI become available for circa $ 70 more . that explain my comment on the MIR . PS : I hate MIR 's , they too often seem to find a reason not to pay . +104 GraphicsCard POS 5 pro : incredibly fast , quiet , low power consume video card that only need one pin connector . this sapphire version be awesome with its dual fan to not only keep it cool but it also deadly silent . upgrade from a 5770 , it be the exact same size when put into my case but the performance destroy it . I can now play Skyrim , Crysis 2 and battlefield 3 all on Ultra max out setting with aa\/af all the way up as well while get steady unwavering frame rate in every game . the 7850 will eat up and chew any game you throw at it with no hiccup at all . this card be quite the pleasant surprise that i would recommend to anyone look for a upgrade . best video card own to date ! con : none whatsoever . other thought : literally the best card i have have , besides the geforce 8800gt when it come out at the time . the 7850 be a beast for the price . +909 GraphicsCard POS 5 no problem at all with this card . I place it in my new rig and have it ocd to around 930mhz no issue . will run hot with certain game but never past 70c and that be in a warm room . with ac on and at load I get around 64c on ultra setting . the only problem with this card be SLI . Make sure you have a giant PSU . this thing eat power . sure there be the newer 600 series out but this to I be still a solid choice . +376 GraphicsCard POS 4 I have have this card for several month now and at first I be very disappointed , but after much trial and error and many driver update this card have turn out to be a great purchase . it drive my eyefinity setup with ease in most game and that be all I can really ask for . +162 GraphicsCard POS 5 alright well first day i get it it be very sluggish . I do not know what be wrong with it , because compare to my old nvidium 9800gt ddr3 it be much quicker then this thing . after tinker around with some setting on the driver software the laggy-ness be fix . all you have to do be increase the speed of the graphic card and you 'll be run fine . now as for performance I be not sure yet but I will get back to this review when I test it out on some game . +824 GraphicsCard NEU 3 Excelente producto ... pero llevo mas de 1 semana esperando mi codigo de activacion para el juego dirt3 que ofrece amd , he enviado mas de 3 correo exigiendo una respuesta y nada . . una gran falta de respeto , pense en algun momento que era una empresa seria ... +809 GraphicsCard POS 5 the first card I receive from Amazon.com have some hardware problem -lrb- as explain by a evga tech -rrb- and I have to RMA . more detail : go to EVGA website to this thread : \/ forums\/tm . aspx ? m = 1644099 and so I tell Amazon I want a RMA Wednesday night ; a new card appear at my doorstep Friday morning . this new card be work great : and I be one very happy camper . ------------------------ now onto the review : pro : power : the evga 670 be a beast . I can run all of my game : include bf3 and my super heavily modded Skyrim max graphic in 1080p . and I average a fp of 70 + sometimes go into 110 fp . EVGA Precision X utility : it be really good . Easy to use , have a lot of neat -lrb- and actually really useful , not just gimmick -rrb- feature : such as test you card , change oc offset , manage fan profile , set target fp . it also have this awesome on screen display : it show the fp , gpu clock , temp , etc. as a overlay on whatever game you be play . it be better than frap . I can go uninstall frap now . : d con : the stock profile with this card run REALLY hot . and when the gpu get too hot -lrb- around 75c -rrb- it start to down clock itself . also , when run on full load -lrb- ex . bf3 on max graphic -rrb- the video card get kind of loud - the fan 's speed get really high . -lrb- edit -rrb- : and yes I know I can tweak the fan setting , and I have : though now its run even louder than before , but at least its not down-clocking . ----------- Final Thoughts : -lrb- my 2 cent -rrb- if this card -lrb- $ 410 -rrb- fit into you budget for a high end computer . get it , the 670 card be a beast . if you want good customer support \/ tech support , good software support -lrb- precisionx -rrb- , and a solid product , go for EVGA . if you want a quieter and cooler card , you might want to go for gigabyte or maybe even Asus\/MSI . obviously , I go for evga -lrb- and I do not regret it -rrb- , but keep you option open . +133 GraphicsCard POS 5 i love it and it work good but if you have win 7 you will have to download the driver via nvidia.com the only thing i hate be the seller they be bad and would not help with my question +618 GraphicsCard POS 5 Amigos recomiendo esta tarjta al 100 % estoy disfrutando titulo como battlefield 3 , batman ac , ghost recon future soldier todo con lo grafico ultra normal y el 3d . . sin lugar a dudas recomiendo esta tarjeta . . ya estoy viendo para comprar otra y colocarla de manera sli . +912 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card be awesome , I have not be in a game that I could not run on it be maximum setting at above 30 + FPS ... LOVE THIS ! if you be look for something powerful , this be it ! -lrb- I be run 1920x1080p , so if you be run a bigger resolution then I do not know how well it do . -rrb- . P.S. . the free pre-order for borderland 2 be a plus !! just want to rate it 5 star : -rrb- ! +923 GraphicsCard POS 4 if you have a older p4 pc that you want to breathe a little more life into for some older 3d gaming then this card fit the bill . it be now a super low cost item and still work wonder for run older 3d game perfectly . we even get Gears of War PC -lrb- 2007 graphic intensive game -rrb- to run on we old p4 2ghz with 2gb ram with this card . we have to tune back the graphic but it work and be actually playable . this be say something because outside of this video card the rest of the pc pretty much fail the basic minimum spec to run that game . the video card be do all the work . older game like unreal 2 and all the tournament version , etc. . . they all run perfectly on this card and with the graphic option crank up to max . very pleased , this video card help we get a couple more year out of that old pc which be still fully functional today . +67 GraphicsCard NEG 1 this card will display on 4 display but only by make they into two big display . the program that come with it will not work on my machine and I have to re-setup my display every time I turn on the computer . it be work with 8 display on 4 dual card but I think this might be better . it 's not ! +860 GraphicsCard POS 5 this thing work great ! I buy it to allow one of employee to have a second monitor and now she be able to more productive ! +219 GraphicsCard POS 4 I buy this for my boyfriend & he love it , when it arrive he could not wait to install it into he computer . once he do he love it . once it be in he computer the graphic & game in he system work alit better . definatly worth the money & better yet the look on he face . +257 GraphicsCard NEG 1 do not get this product . it mess up all the software that be on my computer . also it could not even do a simple power point presentation . +885 GraphicsCard NEU 3 for $ 56 it would be worth it . for $ 99.99 , not so much . any computer that have only PCI slot probably only have a single core processor so this card will help , but not dramatically . I be use the computer for a secondary character with wizard101 . the page still take time to load but the movement be smoother . +87 GraphicsCard POS 5 there be little or no hardware acceleration , which be to be expect . it work great for a secondary monitor . just follow the installation instruction or it will not work . I try . you can get DVI adapter elsewhere for the same price , fyus . +916 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I be extremely disappoint with this card . I have be in I.T. for 18 year and no user problem , network upgrade , or workstation roll out frustrate or anger I more than try to get those dumb atus driver to load correctly . it be just freakin ridiculous to spend hour try to get a ATI video card set up when with nVidia you could be up and run in about 5 min . it just remind I of why I walk away from ATI video card year ago . but nVidia be also not without fault since they turn they back on all of the agp user who basically make they rich ... I would like for ATI to come up with some type of unify driver for they card so people dont have to go through such a crock of b to get they graphic card work but that would make sense so ATI probably will not do it . I must have install and remove every alleged hotfix from the 8.1 on the CD to the 9.8 on Sapphire 's and ATI 's website for this thing and nothing but my pc freezing when load a game or surf the web . I can not even put my old BFG 6800 gt oc back in because I take it out and give it to a friend when I see the Amazon box sit outside my room . so now I have to dig out this old BFG fx5200 just to have a work pc ... if I could have find a better agp card by nVidia I probably would not be write this review but I wait a bit too long for price to come down . I just hope I make the right decision in request a replacement instead of a refund . win xp pro p4 3.2 GHz 2gb pc3200 RAM A-Power 680w PSU follow up 4 day later ... . I actually would have give it zero star but I have to rate it with at least one but it do not deserve that high of a rating . if you want a agp card that actually work the first time you load the driver , stick with nvidium . ATI be garbage , period . 3 of these POS Sapphire Radeon 3850 , 3 failure that do not work no matter what version of they sorry driver I use . I get some `` Thread Stuck in Device driver '' error , which usually indicate a bad driver , which be almost guarantee with atus , or a bad card ... someone need to pull the plug on ATI for produce such garbage ... I walk away from ATI graphic card 10 year ago , for the same reason I have return 3 of these . I do not know what I be think to have even give ATI another chance . do anyone at ATI or Sapphire know what Quality Assurance be ? +888 GraphicsCard POS 5 purchase this video card almost a month ago , and have thoroughly test it out . I can run anything I throw at it at ultra setting . I would recommend this card for anyone want they computer to be a boss . con : I can no longer play my xbox 360 due to contrast of graphic from this card . +622 GraphicsCard POS 5 I purchase this item a couple month ago . I will concede that nvidium be probably better . but , for the price this be the card to get . I can play Starcraft II on Ultra and other game . very solid card . aside from the lack luster AMD driver , it be a fantastic product . +944 GraphicsCard POS 5 slide 2 of these in crossfire into my machine with no problem ! bf3 run like a champ on ULTRA graphic . 60 + FPS constantly . +956 GraphicsCard POS 4 my pc be a very old one and do not have a pcie slot . this card fit well . installation be a snap and work very well with Windows 7 . I be able to increase my system performance from 2.0 to 3.5 with this card . however , the card 's heatsink be too tall and will collide with a adjacent PCI card . so , either it take up 2 slot or try to install in the far end slot . +270 GraphicsCard POS 5 wow , I just upgrade from a radeon hd4970 and I be blow away . I think that hd4970 be still decent , too . this card can play TERA online at max setting with no hiccup . man I can not wait to get that 3d monitor in the mail to push this card to its limit . EDIT : even with a 3d monitor I purchase from here -lrb- asus vg278h -rrb- , this card have no problem max out all setting in 3d mode ! frame be all silky smooth ! wow ! I buy from this guy the normal geforce gtx 680 , but I guess he give I the superclocked + version , which be even better . add 2 day shipping , then it make up for the high price . +838 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy this a week ago and have be nothing but impressed with its performance . this card run Fallout 3 , Mass effect , call of duty 4 , leave 4 Dead , Dead Space , and the Witcher smoothly on medium setting -lrb- not to mention older game like KOTOR 2 which I can now run at Maximum setting ! -rrb- . if you have a ancient pc like mine -lrb- 3 year old celeron d 2.8 mhz -rrb- whose motherboard only offer standard pcus slot , then purchase this card . I recently upgrade to this card from the 6200 256 mb oc card , and the difference be immediately , and pleasantly , notice . all application run faster , smoother and , although I be sure this be only my imagination , appear more vibrant . this card be a improvement over the 6200 which , although workable if tweak correctly , have crash issue with some application . I can not say enough good thing about this card . excellent product ! excellent value ! +126 GraphicsCard POS 4 I want to buy a new graphic card that would at least play Skyrim on max -lrb- or at least close to max -rrb- setting on my new Dell I buy in September . my old graphic card be barely cut it at all medium setting , and I be rather low on cash , so after browse on Amazon I come upon this card . there be not too many review that I find on here or on the internet about it , but its spec be well beyond mine so I take a chance . for $ 120 , I could not complain if the card couldnt do my expectation , but when I finally get it I be pretty impressed . install seamlessly , and overclock without any problem . Skyrim automatically set my graphic setting to all high when I install the new card , and even after I put all the setting on Max , this card still run it at a aberage of 40-60 fp -lrb- 35 be the lowest , but only breifly -rrb- . my pc spec arent the greatest , but they be CPU : AMD Phenom II x4 960t 3.00 Ghz -lrb- Overclocked at 3.40 ghz -rrb- RAM : 8GB Graphics : XFX AMD Radeon HD 6770 it bring my Windows Graphics Card score from a 5.9 to a 7.4 , and this card can play any game I own at max setting at at least 35-40 fp , or high setting at about 50-60fp -lrb- more if v-sync be off -rrb- great card for the price , and a excellent budget card as a final note , if you like grpahic design or video processing , I do that too , and it process the video I make in hd format in a fraction of the time my old card do -lrb- original time : 2-4 hour new Time : -rrb- \/ = 1hour and it doesnt even notice I wathciung video on Youtube in 1080p +514 GraphicsCard POS 4 product come in with all part and cable . install be easy . Monitor come alive as soon as I turn it on . upgrade from a 128mb card and what a difference . brought new life to my old Dell desktop . price be fair . I can now watch show on CBS.com in full screen and no lag when it hit hd broadcast . Play facebook game with no problem . only bad thing be that it would not upload new driver from disk that it come with . Got latest driver online . +560 GraphicsCard POS 4 I order this graphic card for a older model Windows xp computer with a AGP slot . buyer should be aware that this video card come with no instruction . a CD be enclose with driver for the card but offer no help in select the right one . so I let Windows xp search the CD for the correct driver -lrb- via the `` update driver '' dialog in Windows Device Manager -rrb- . Windows find what it think be the correct driver on the CD and install it , but it do not work . fortunately there be a older driver on the computer that do work , so I be able to use the video card . but the enclosed cd be of no help to I . +340 GraphicsCard NEG 2 order this to replace a flaky no-name brand 256m 6200 . however , no matter what I try -lrb- and I spend several evening on this -rrb- I could not get this 512m evga card to work in a fic p4-486pe pro run xp - there be driver `` resource conflict '' and the card be leave stick in VGA mode . the resource conflict be in the memory map ; for some reason the video card 's 512m memory be always allocate in \* addition \* to the agp driver 's memory , and there just be not enough available memory for that in xp -lrb- and I have 3g of RAM ; it be more a issue of where the memory be allow to be allocate to device driver -rrb- . for my previous -lrb- and subsequent -rrb- 256m 6200 the card 's memory be allocate \* within \* the agp driver 's memory space and there be no conflict . this memory be separate from the `` agp aperture '' memory , by the way . I have the -lrb- one and only -rrb- bio for the FIC p4-486pe pro motherboard , the most recent Intel chipset driver and I try with various Nvidia driver - some older one , the one from the CD and the most recent 270.61 version . I also let the bio re-pick the resource and off course I perform all operation from safe mode with full driver uninstall and cleanup etc. prior to each attempt . I even try with a Ubuntu Linux setup and although I do get to a non-vga desktop it lock up right after that . so I can not tell if this be a issue with my bio or with the card - but for sure they do not play together and it just do not work . when I replace it with a new Gigabyte 256M 6200 everything work just fine . PS when you see a resource conflict with the `` vgasafe '' driver , whatever you do , \*\*\* do not \*\*\* disable that driver as that be the default VGA mode you get before you driver be install . +206 GraphicsCard POS 5 sometimes , you really have to wonder about some negative review . someone say that it be not Windows 7 compatible ... . it be and Windows 7 pick it up in a flash . someone say that the fan be too noisey ... it be NOT and it be whisper quiet . someone say that you have to use DVI for HDMI ... you do not , for there be a hdmus output on the card as well as DVI and VGA . my cpuz64 test show a dramatic bump up in Clocks Core & Clocks memory ... Nvidia onboard with 256 mbyte of memory show Clocks Core @ 425 mhz and Clocks memory @ 100 mhz versus hd4350 pci-e show Clocks Core @ 600 mhz and Clocks memory @ 400 mhz with 512 mbyte memory and 64 bit bus width . ... not to mention that it free 's up system memory . this be as it stand with my card that I just receive and install on my Windows 7 system . +437 GraphicsCard POS 4 great card for the price , run they in SLI and I be happy with the performance again especially for the price . Pretty much run every game on Ultra setting . +303 GraphicsCard NEG 2 so I purchase this card since it have the most muscle for the older style agp . mind you , I be quite computer friendly , and build they myself . this card be a pain since the driver take 4 download to work . the card then last about 2 month before crap out . I take my old Nvidia card . put it back in the computer , and 5 min later have it back up and run . its be month now with no issue . I have hear similar story about ATI 's card in recent year . in fact , my last ATI card be always finicky . I would not recommend ATI graphic card if you be look for stability . +369 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I think I could trust this brand and admittedly I laugh at people have problem as if they be just inexperienced but my card crash too . the report all over the web be too numerous to be a fluke . they just shoot these thing out the door without test they first . now I have a card that crash in graphically intense game even after update the bio and I can not exchange it because amazon do not have any . my choice be either get my money back after spend more money to ship the defect to amazon , and buy the non overclocked version -lrb- or a different brand most likely -rrb- spend money on ship a third time for one card or I can try my luck with a rma through ASUS . everything I have read about asus customer support make I pretty nervous . apparently they have lot of way of dodge rma 's like pretend they never get it and make you ship it multiple time , pretend there be nothing wrong with it and send it back force you to spend money on shipping over and over until you give up , send you somebody els broken crap , or take so long to fix it you can not use you computer for month . this suck . my gut tell I to go with evga but I want a really quiet system and evga do not have any 670 's with aftermarket cooler . oh well . you win some you lose some . +636 GraphicsCard NEU 3 I buy this after be very happy with my gtx 570 , but figure the extra memory and the newer feature would improve my fp . well it barely do and now I be 500 dollar down with nearly a identical graphic card in regard to performance . if you have a gtx 570 or higher in the 5 series DO NOT BUY THIS CARD . I will try a AMD card next time around . +651 GraphicsCard POS 5 Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 OC 3gb ddr5 hdmi\/dvi-i\/dual Mini dp PCI-Express Graphics Card 11197-01-40g the price be $ 449 when purchase -lrb- now $ 479 -rrb- . I buy mostly Nvidia , but I really want to get something with more than 2gb of vram . I want to go high end current gen this time around too . stock be low on the 670 and 680 , I be ready to buy . go from a gtx 480 slus setup to this card . I be usually 2 generation behind . could not be more pleased with this purchase . so much power in one card . overclock out of the box , dual bio , and a top notch dual fan cooling system . so quiet even with the side panel off . really impress with sapphire and AMD 's tech together . +411 GraphicsCard NEG 1 hus , this be not really a review I just want to say that after do some research this be not really a 2 GB Video Card because when I look up Ati Radon 6450 on amazon I have several company make similar card just add at I chip in they and they all say 1gb this be not a true 2 gb card , however I would recommend a better video card probably and Ati Radeon 6570 make by he they sell a bit more but have more power to it for a similar price . he radeon hd 6570 iceq 1 gb -lrb- 128bit -rrb- ddr3 hdmus dvi-d -lrb- hdcp -rrb- VGA PCI Express x16 2.1 Video Card -lrb- h657qo1g -rrb- +745 GraphicsCard POS 5 awesome work great I use to have a basic graphic card when i upgrade to 7970 Omg it be a huge difff in performence of my pc and graphic while gaming it work super purrfect deserve all 5 star +966 GraphicsCard POS 5 the card be very good from anything like basic daily task to play hd movie back to you . I really like the feature with the hdmus 7.1 surround sound output , that be what sell I on this card . +index Domain Label Rating Review +68 GraphicsCard NEG 2 card do not support the resolution of 1920 x 1080 . it be also a problem with the screen refresh , it work up to 75 hz +541 GraphicsCard NEG 2 despite Amazon 's description above , this video card be not compatible with dvi-i connection . in several place on the outer packaging , it clearly state that this card be compatible with dvi-d , d-sub and hdmus , not dvi-i . +182 GraphicsCard POS 4 buy two of these for crossfire and my 3x1080p monitor setup and be very excite to get they and I get they quite fast , 2 day . now , this be suppose to be a 2 slot card , but it be not , it take up 3 slot easily , so it be blatantly mislead for those hope to crossfire on any size board with any other card in pcus slot . I insert they into my Sabertooth X-79 2011 board and they block every slot . no sound card , revo ssd , nothing can fit , not even a network card . Make sure you be aware of this or buy a extended board before you purchase more than 1 . this be not exactly a con because it be something I think might be a issue , but with no actual dimension for the depth of the card , it be impossible to know without actually buy they because very few have crossfire 7970 's , let alone these exact model . this be something that should have be clearly state somewhere and it will cost I a couple week of return the other part that now wont fit and I now have to repurpose from other sources\/models . overall the card be amazing , crossfire be a little buggy but I be not too worried . 5760x1080 battlefield 3 @ 55 fp ? easily . great card . just need more info on the product page . +936 GraphicsCard NEG 1 order one for a customer , arrive DOA . order replacement , arrive DOA , contact tech support to diagnose and spend 45 minute on hold with no live person ever answer . return for a refund and try another product +960 GraphicsCard POS 5 no complaint so far . Easy to configure . I have hear this model run cooler than the other 6950 , mine be idle at around 40-50 degree accord to hwmonitor so I do not know if that be true . include a code for a free copy of Dirt 3 that you can activate on Steam . not my kind of game , but it be a nice bonus . I prefer the Sapphire utility to Catalyst for overclock . basically , this be probably the best 2 gb 6950 you 'll get for the price . at $ 250 after rebate , it be a hell of a value . very easy to install . feel sturdy . require two pci-e connector from power supply though so make sure you be prepare . . +150 GraphicsCard NEG 2 this card perform excellently . however within the first two week of own it I have several red screen of death . I search around online and have find many other people with the same issue . I have request a replacement from Amazon that will arrive tomorrow , if the second card be problem free this rating will go up to a four . however I can not give a five to a product that have apparently zero quality control . be wary of this line from EVGA . -lrb- ... -rrb- or just google `` EVGA GTX 670 FTW red screen '' +693 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I purchase this video card , but it be not compatible with my system . this be a 3.3 volt which will not work on my 1.5 v. the specification do not give you that detail . I be sure it be a great product , but just a fyus , to check you volt . +22 GraphicsCard POS 4 Sapphire Radeon hd3850 512mb ddr3 dual dvi-i \/ TVO AGP Graphics Card the hd3850 install without difficult , it do require 2 power connector -lrb- molex ide hard drive type -rrb- . the hd3850 be a bit long extend nearly to the back edge of my full size atx motherboard -lrb- asus a8v deluxe -rrb- , this may be a problem for some . I utlize the current driver from ATI : -lrb- http:\/\/support.amd.com\/us\/kbarticles\/pages\/catalystagphotfix.aspx -rrb- . there be not any problem with the installation . I be use the hd3850 in a Media Center PC primarily for dvd and Blu-Ray playback . I have not notice any drop frame or other video problem use the hd3850 . I would recommend the hd3850 for those want to extend the life of a agp base pc . product information be availabe at the link below : http:\/\/www1.sapphiretech.com\/us\/products\/products_overview.php?gpid=227&grp;=2 +116 GraphicsCard POS 5 I be a avid gamer , and enjoy play computer game on the maximum setting possible , for as long as possible . for I , the 560 Ti have be able to run everything I throw at it , and everything default at maximum setting . I have only get slight fp drop when play Skyrim -lrb- usually it be amazing , except during rare instance inside cave -rrb- , and even then , it be not very noticeable . my only vice with this card be that there be only one mini-hdmi output ; if you have a single monitor , this be absolutely no issue , but if you be run multiple monitor ... well , it still be not a issue , just a slight annoyance : -rrb- I have my primary monitor hook up to the Mini-HDMI , and the secondary to one of the DVI slot , and both monitor still look great ! in short , do not spend a penny less , and do not spend a penny more . this be what you need if you plan on gaming , and it will last you a while . a long while . +704 GraphicsCard POS 5 pro : with all the negative review I have see I still want to chance it since I have be wait for this card since it be announce . Mine come with a boost of 1293 out of the box that I discover when benchmarking . well I fire up the Heaven benchmark and it crash right away ! I obtain the latest version of precision x and put the power target all the way up -lrb- 117 % for my card -rrb- . that not only take care of the crash at boost level 1293 , but I decide to try for higher . I be able to add +29 to my base clock of 1059 so I now have 1088 of base clock and a boost of 1323 ! I be able to clock my memory +600 without a problem under Heaven benchmark , but 3DMark 11 give artifact at that speed . the final stable artifact free speed be +510 for a final speed of 7028 -lrb- 1757 x 4 -rrb- ! yes , I be happy ! remember to adjust you target power all the way up . it only use the additional power when it need it -lrb- 3d gaming and benchmark -rrb- . my card be faster than any gtx 680 I have see ! con : some be have issue due to the boost clock be so high on some card . remember it may show up as 1137 in gpu-z , but that change when 3d happen . that be when I find out my GPU boost hit 1293 ! use the power target all the way up in precision x 3.02 ! +915 GraphicsCard POS 5 good card , do what you would expect at a good price . plug in card , load driver -lrb- insert cd into CD drive and follow simple instruction -rrb- , work flawlessly without problem . later get automatic notification of newer driver update that be as easy to update as click on the `` install '' button . recommend purchase by desktop support it professional . +700 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have two of these card in slus on a 4.4 ghz watercool i7 with 12gb of RAM . they push all of my game at 2560x1440p -rrb- 60fp max out . even game like the Witcher 2 and Metro 2033 run without a problem on this setup , fully max out . the card be reasonably quiet for they power level - the fan can not be hear over my system fan unless it be greater than 70 % fan speed - and the power consumption be improve over my previous gtx 580 setup . even one of these card can play every game on the market without a problem . these be reference design , which mean no unusual feature and the standard blower fan , but both of my card overclock to right around 1300mhz -lrb- which be on the high end -rrb- , so you overclocking potential with the 680s seem fairly luck of the draw unless you want to invest in a more expensive design like the MSI Lightnings or EVGA classify series , which allow voltage adjustment . all in all , I would definitely recommend one of these product if you be look for a top of the line GPU , as long as money be not a concern . if you be on a tighter budget , you can get most of the performance in the gtx670 for less money . but the gtx680 be still cream of the crop for now . +934 GraphicsCard NEG 1 Asus make a gorgeous look card in this gtx 670 direct cu ii top edition . my card work beautifully for the first 3 month and then it start give I random black screen . sometimes it would recover and the display would return and other time it would just completely lose signal until I restart my pc . I get random artifact from time to time and I have no way of tell when it be go to happen . I have go day where no black screen be artifact show and then other day where it happen all the time . matter of fact , I just lose my signal while write the first draft of this review . I have to restart and write it all over again . I have try everything from install new driver , beta driver , update the bio , and re-seating my card . none of these work . I be go to need to rma this card , but I be scared since I have hear some horror story about ASUS and they rma service . I be not look forward to go month without have a card , but it look like I 'll have to deal with it . pro : - excellent build - extremely quiet - powerful card con : - random black screen - artifact - lose of signal if you be one of the one lucky enough to get a top card without any problem , I be envious of you . Mine start off as a stud and end a dud . asus I hope you see this and be go to do something about it . I will be contact you soon . +388 GraphicsCard POS 5 Performance wise this card be a pretty big upgrade compare to my old Radeon 4870 and consider the power usage be within 1 watt of each other it be the perfect upgrade if you be concern about increase power consumption . with aa off -lrb- I never care for the slight blur it do and the `` jaggy '' have never bother I -rrb- it run skyrim with the new high re texture pack on ultra at 40 + FPS in 1080p . the same go for swtor all setting maxx -lrb- minus aa -rrb- I get between 40 + fp at all time in 1080p . not much else to say it provide a good bump in performance over my 4870 at the same wattage and a good price 5 star . +589 GraphicsCard POS 4 the reason I give 4 star be because this item be install in a client computer and after initial installation and testing , I will not have access to further inspection or use . this item ship and arrive faster than expect , install with ease , and once I update the driver from the evga website , it work like a charm on at least 2 high end game on the client machine . although there be no fan on this model , it be very easy to attach one to the exist heatsink -lrb- to help with cooling during game-play -rrb- . I recommend this item for people who be look for a good video card at a good price . +397 GraphicsCard POS 5 initially place a order for a Radeon 6850 but change my order when i find this card for $ 3 more . amazing performance for the price . pro ------------------- great performance . price . ca not really justify a 6850 when a 6870 cost just a little more . noise . this card be particularly quiet when not stressed . under load it become audible , but probably on par with any case or heatsink fan . nothing crazy . con \* ------------------------ size . this card be massive . the card and attach cooler will occupy two pcus slot . heat . do not produce excessive amount of heat , but will make a mess of the airflow in you case . especially a in a htpc gaming rig . luckily the fan on the card vent the air out of the back of the case . Power hog . this card require two 6 pin pci-e power connector . there be two molex to pci power adapter include in the box however . just make sure you power supply can handle it . Sapphire state a 500w power supply be `` require '' but i highly doubt a smaller , quality psu would not work . other thought ------------------- my card include dirt3 but be not state in the description . also , I can not vouch for the include driver cd as i download the latest catalyst driver directly from amd instead . I do not need the dvi to vga adapter either . note to those look to crossfire these card : a crossfire bridge be not include so you will need to get one elsewhere . all in all , this be a amazing card for the price . the `` con '' i state earlier be not really con , just thing to be aware of before you buy . just be sure you know what to expect and can meet the space\/power requirement . +543 GraphicsCard NEG 2 I buy this card for a upgrade for a old pc for my son to use . it install fine and work well for he wow until today . first he lose red , then green before I make he power down . would not buy this again . +779 GraphicsCard POS 5 I do some extensive research regard bang for you buck in my choice of component for a major hardware upgrade to my old desktop machine and the Sapphire HD 7850 OC edition seem to warrant a closer look . I install this card on a new Gigabyte z68 motherboard along with a i5 2500k CPU , Coolermaster 212 + cooler and 8gb of Kingston Hyper x memory . the case be Micro ATX so I need a card that would perform well in a small case and the Sapphire do that and then some . it run quieter and cooler than any ati\/amd graphic card ive own , so quiet in fact that I have to double check to see if the fan be even run . even during game play I seldom hear the fan run on this card and temp at idle and under full load have be 26c and 58c respectively which I find impressive . im get excellent fp on every game ive throw at it and I haven , t see this card full potential yet . AMD Overdrive allow for even higher clock speed and it run stable even when max out which put its performance well into the range of card cost much more . judge by its performance at stock -lrb- which be already overclock -rrb- I doubt you would ever need more graphic power for some time to come . at about half the weight and only 2\/3 the size of my old 4890 it perform around twice twice as good . if you look at get the 7850 I highly recommend this Sapphire HD 7850 OC edition for its smaller form factor , higher clock speed and lower temp . +241 GraphicsCard POS 5 Producto recibido en optimas condiciones y en el tiempo acordado . force3d AMD ATI radeon hd 6450 2gb ddr3 hdmus DVI VGA +566 GraphicsCard POS 5 this video card have be the perfect replacement for my radeon 6970 I be very happy to have purchase the XFX 7970 be be a great card to have overclock factory be very fresh . game with high detail luxury the fan be very quiet . noteworthy that here in Venezuela be tropical climate and the area where I live more or less some heat and still remain in the graph idle state approximately between 36 and 38 c and full load with some title reach 65 and I have no air conditioning . in short all recommend this product be what many player seek when purchase a graph good price , excellent performance , super cool and quiet +784 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card work as I expect it to without any problem . I do recommend that anyone buying this have the proper power supply wattage , as specify . +279 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I replace a Radeon 92oo with this card for more mb of memory , wrong move . this card just freeze after booting-up . Tech support send I to they web-site to fix the problem , but the graphic freeze before a fix could be downlode . Poped the Radeon back in and all be great . I be go to buy a radeon instead . guess i get burn by get this card from Amazon , because now I have to keep it . Stay away from this card !!! +278 GraphicsCard POS 5 I get the Sparkle GEForce card as a part of a upgrade to my nearly 8 year old 2.5 Ghz p4 Compaq Presario S6000V tower system to Windows 7 pro in addition to a Western Digital 320 GB WD Blue PATA 7200 RPM 8 MB Cache Bulk\/OEM Desktop Hard drive installation be relatively easy other than the issue of the heatsink which prove manageable . once install I go into the bio setting to set the Card as the default graphic card . I then proceed to set up window & and install the latest version of the nvidium geforce driver on it . in my opinion the probable reason I hhave ad few if any problem with the card be due to my install it in a clean slate software environment . so far the its be a year and a half since I do the graphic upgrade which have prove to be fairly capable for the main use I have put it to -lrb- File server , print server , media storage , plus occasional netflix movie system . currently it be link to dual monitor setup use 23 '' Samsung SyncMaster 2343 at its full native resolution -lrb- 2048x1152 -rrb- and old Dell 15 '' -lrb- 1024x800 -rrb- . I have so far have very few problem or issue with the video card other than 2-3 driver crash . give the age of the system I have not be incline to push it to the limit on graphic but I have be able to play some fairly highdef video with few if any problem . the experience index for the system as currently configure be a 3.3 which if I upgrade to faster p4 CPU would come up a bit . the overall score of my system as currently configure be below .

I love the performance of these card . I purchase card 1 from amazon , and card 2 from another vendor . +349 GraphicsCard POS 5 I first start with the VGA connection . this do not fill out the screen -lrb- use a 23 '' monitor -rrb- so I install the the DVI cable and it work great . this be my first time use a monitor card . +586 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have have this card for about a week now and it make my old hd5870 look like it be a piece of junk ! every game I have run at maximum setting with ease and I highly recommend this card to anyone who be look for a very good graphic card . +294 GraphicsCard POS 5 I get 2 of these Cards for a slus setup . they work perfectly , they arrive in excellent condition and be package great . these fit in my case perfectly with room to spare . the performance of these card be perfect . they be the super-clocked + with the back-plate which I think it make the card look that much better , in addition to any heat spread that they may add . +985 GraphicsCard POS 5 excellent gtx 680 Reference card with 3 Free Games & 5 year Warranty this be Zotac 's entry into the new nVidia Kepler GTX 680 line and it meet reference specification . what be different from other reference card be that this zotac card come bundle with assassin 's creed i , ii , and revelation and also have a 5-year warranty unlike the other which only offer 3 year warranty and no video game bundle . this card run cool and can get 30-40 fp on battlefield 3 Ultra setting at 2560x1600 -- impressive ! +290 GraphicsCard POS 5 title say it all , unlock this 6950 to a 6970 . have not overclock it yet , wait till i get some better case cooling . +253 GraphicsCard POS 5 when I first install this card into a HP Workstation x4000 it do not work . I then contact evga support . they do not have any information on this system but do offer a few suggestion that I try and do not work . I then start the return proceedure with Amazon which be straight forward . but prior to send the card back I get hold of another identical system and try the card in it and it work . so , back to my system again . after a few day of testing I find that the video card be take resource from the memory . I find that the system would fail if I have any more than 2.5 gb of memory -lrb- 4-512mb & 2-256mb be all that would work -rrb- . so far the card be work fine . I guess this be just one of those problem you incounter with these old workstation . +292 GraphicsCard POS 5 Ok buy one of these badboy to replace my MSI gtx 560 ti that suddenly die on I . this card be quite the improvement and definitely have I get the frame rate I be miss in my gaming for title such as battlefied 3 , Crysis 2 , Dirt 3 etc. etc. . note my monitor be a 27inch asus with its native resolution be 1920x1200 this card be perfect for gaming at this resolution . note you have to check out the performance of a card in relation to the resolution you play for and find one that be the sweat spot without break the bank . after firing up the rig this card perform well , then it happen ... the screen go bonkers , random crash to the desktop while gaming till eventual blue screen . so here I be freak out until I put in another card and no problem . thanks to Amazon I do and rma and the replacement arrive and boy oh boy this thing have not disappointed I one bit !!! remember people it be electronics so anything can happen . I be a happy camper and you will be also with this card for all you gaming need !! +703 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card be amazing and do exactly as describe . I be stuck playing bf3 at 800x600 on low before I get this card . I now max out the game at 1440x900 the max resolution my monitor support and it look way better . it be a great price and worth the money . +54 GraphicsCard POS 5 Plays all current game -lrb- bf3 , Skyrim , Batman Arkham Asylum -rrb- on ultra with plenty of room to spare . Overclocks fine , but why when I can play everything max out already . Might have get away with a 670 and have similar result , would have save myself $ 100 . but long term I think I make the right choice . +237 GraphicsCard POS 5 I get my evga 560 TI 448 in earlier today and just get finish install it . it replace a EVGA gtx 280 . I uninstall the nVidia driver , reboot to safe mode and run DriverCleaner . reboot to Windows 7 and d\/l ` ed the 266.66 and the 285.62 to test which be better . I begin to install the 285.62 and it could not find a support device , same with the 266.66 . sooo , I actually resort to use the CD setup and it work like a charm . I be get a 24.8 fp avg in Unigen Heaven with the 280 on dx10 with a score of 625 . I run the same setting with the 560 and hit 40.8 fp avg with a score of 1029 . I have not touch the clock yet so I can not comment on the O.C. I usually do not O.C. my video card anyway . my system be a e8500@4ghz run 4gig of ddr2 ocz reaper @ 800mhz . not sure if it be bottleneck yet . evga be great with a replacement I have about 3 year ago so I feel confident in the selection . I be still not certain if the price increase be worth it for the extra core and memory , but we will see . +175 GraphicsCard POS 5 card do everything i expect , run twitcher 2 and Deus ex 3 at full -lrb- ubersamblind disabled obviously -rrb- . my code for deus ex actually be email to I the next day . as for dirt3 , there seem to be a bit of a snafu with the code right now but amd say all voutcher will be honor eventually . +928 GraphicsCard POS 5 pro : 1 -rrb- support dual display . though this video card be a half-size video card for slim or sff desktop computer -lrb- as show -rrb- , it have dual DVI or VGA output port via a dms-59 adapter for display contents on two seperate monitor . this be a big plus to many people work on slim pc while also require dual display , good for financial institution , banking industry , university etc special area . 2 -rrb- durability . this low profile graphic card be build mainly to be use inside slim\/sff office pc for long and extended work time . 3 -rrb- excellent display quality , even with VGA display . best way to test this be to output VGA signal , since good , well make video card can still display clear picture -lrb- close to DVI -rrb- , while cheap video card have no match on display quality in VGA mode compare to that of DVI . 4 -rrb- quite and low power consumption . this card fan be temperature control , its fan shut off when the card be not high in temperature . the card only consume tdp -lrb- thermal Design Power , max amount of power cooling system be require to dissipate -rrb- 21w power , I believe most of time it use only about half that amount . con : this be not a gaming card , though it have a good GPU more than enough for office work and daily application run , it be for slim pc only , and install within confine space . so it be not a good idea for intensive gaming with this card . +351 GraphicsCard POS 4 use it to add a 2nd external lcd monitor to my wife 's laptop . one go out VGA and one now via usb , so with the clamshell open , she have 3 display . simple install and configuration . +743 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be a excellent card . it be sturdy , solid , and preform very smoothly . it run Elder Scrolls Oblivion perfectly . not a single drop frame . I would definitely recommend this card . +526 GraphicsCard POS 4 could not get it to work with window 7 out of the box . be hope this card would be a upgrade to my current GeForce 5600 and give my 10 year old pc some more life . - be able to get it to work after reinstall my old card then uninstall the driver and card before install the new card . +901 GraphicsCard POS 5 best video card i ever have with this video card i do not have to lower any video setting in any game to get the game to run smooth i flick every setting on max and enjoy the game the way they be mean to be play . +157 GraphicsCard POS 4 this Graphics Card work upon install and give a little oomph to my mac pro system . no real complaint . its pretty quite as well . Worth a purchase . +862 GraphicsCard NEG 1 \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* edit 2 : after only a couple week the card start lag very badly when run game . I have contact the manufacture for support by email -lrb- because they have no phone number -rrb- and they have be useless . they send I one scentence reply with no information as to what I should do . how do I diagnose the problem ? be the temp too hot ? what be the normal temp ? be there setting I can adjust on my computer ? should I return the card ? can I get some support ? do not get this card , as the support be horrible . I feel like I be talk to a teenager in he mom 's basement get answer like . `` Woah , that do sound strange . can u test the card a another comp ? '' seriously ?? edit 1 : my problem be finally solve by Amazon , and I receive a 30 % credit on this item because of they mistake . now as far as the real review go , this card itself be SICK . I be play all of my game on this card , at MAXIMUM setting and ultra setting on everything . this card handle anything my game throw at it , and keep beg for more . there be nothing I can do to slow this card down . for the price , you can not ask for anthe more . --------------- warning : I buy this video card because it be advertise to come with the free dirt 3 video game . so I think this would be a better deal over another video card . however , the card no LONGER include the video game . even though the website , and image still state that it do . I contact Amazon and they tell I to contact the manufacture . I contact the manufacture and they tell I that they no longer provide the game , and will not be able to honor the deal . I then contact Amazon back , because it be THIER webiste that the deal be display on . Amazon tell I that they do not create the product detail those be submit by the manufacture directly , and if there be something wrong , that they will look into it , but they do not control the content . -lrb- which I do not think they can legally stand behind . I think they be legally reponsible for what be on they website no matter who put it there -rrb- . so now , I buy this card under the impression that I would be get the free game , which both Amazon and the manufacture be both refuse to honor at this point . the guy from Amazon tell I he be send the matter to a `` specialist '' for review and would get back to I asap . they be also go to work on correct the website error . -lrb- so by the time you be read this , the webiste might be correct -rrb- . I have not install the card yet , but as for now , I be give it a 1 star because the card be not ship as advertise , and also the support be not very nice from the manufacture . also , be aware if you live in the United States , they do not have a support telephone number for you to call , you can only contact they via email . which might make thing hard , if you ever need `` real '' support on a technical issue . if Amazon or the manufacture decide to honor the deal later , I will update my raiting , but until then , this product do not arrive as advertise . SO be aware if you buy this you will not get the dirt3 video game . +625 GraphicsCard POS 5 I just upgrade from a pair of 6970 to two of these run in Crossfire use a Dell 30 '' monitor -lrb- 2560x1600 -rrb- , so here 's my take . size - the card be basically the same size as the 6970 , which be to say big . if you have a small case look elsewhere -- if you have a midsized case I recommend you make sure these will actually fit before you make a purchase . Performance - one thing to note first be that the driver that ship with this be basically beta driver and AMD have so far only release one update . with that siad the performance be very good . in older game there be not much of a gain over the 6970 as they both play anything older perfectly . as for new game once again the 6970 in Crossfire could basically run almost anything at 60fp or better on a 30 '' screen -- however for those game that do not want to run smoothly the 7970 in Crossfire take care of that . in Crysis 2 with the Ultra high-resolution pack install with everything turn on and all the way up I can get a solid 60fp with the new setup , on the older 6970 crossfire I get about 20fp , so that be a huge jump . I think it be safe to say that the 7970 can handle dx11 game extremely well which should give you some future proofing , or at least as much as you can expect in the field of high end video card . heat - I read some people say these card run hot . this might be the case if you be come over from the peasant class card of the mainstream , but for the highest of high end card these actually run quite cool -- and they be much quieter in game than any other high-end card I have ever have -lrb- gtx8800 , gtx295 , AMD 6790 , etc -rrb- . even in Crossfire I be amaze at how much more tame the sound be come from they . as for heat they 'll still make you foot warm but once again not as badly as any of the other card I have mention . overclock - I have only use the build in AMD tool for overclock and be easily able to push my card to 1000\/1400 by just move the slider . I have have it at 1125\/1490 and it run stable in game , but if I leave my computer on for a few day and forget to turn off overclock I would start to see weird stuff show-up on the screen . turn down the overclock and reboot fix the issue but for the sake of just be lazy I go with the easy 1000\/1400 setting which can run 24\/7 without issue . remember too that this be in a crossfire configuration , my guess would be single card setup would probably overclock better since there be reduce heat and strain on the power supply . conclusion - overall I be quite happy with everything . it will be interesting to see what Nvidia deliver but AMD have a very solid , very well round entry that be , at the moment , easily the fastest single GPU card available . I do consider wait for Nvidia to see what they come up with but I be glad I do not -- plus I could always sell these card and buy what Nvidia come out with if it be truly more impressive . if you be run at 1080p or below you should easily be able to completely max out any game with a single card , if you be run at a higher resolution you will probably still be able to completely max out anything except the most demand game where you might have to help with a extreme setting instead of a ultra setting . +851 GraphicsCard POS 4 I order two of these card to run in SLI . first issue I be not aware of be that Intel X79 chipset be not currently support by Nvidia to run at pcie gen3 speed . OEM distribute driver allegedly allow pcie gen3 speed but official Nvidia driver do not . I believe this will be fix rather soon and be a mute point for the most part . next , the current Asus GPU tweak software -lrb- as of 3june -rrb- appear to be cause many user issue to include a red screen of death -lrb- rsod -rrb- . I experience these issue and they be resolve immediately by uninstall the Asus software . the bigger issue be that overclocked 670 's in general at this point be like play the lotto . I order two and one run great while the other could not complete any benchmark at factory speed without crash and will be return . before figure this out , I read many forum with user report the same situation . underclock the card will make it stable , but I pay for a card that be guarantee to work at a certain overclock . the good stuff ; the card that run , run great ! at factory fan speed and under full load for half a hour -lrb- prime95 & furmark -rrb- I see temperature around 66c . with a 4.7 ghz Intel i7 , I get 9500 mark in 3dmark11 . I have many newer game if anyone want specific bench for certain game . I have not experiment with overclock with either card as most review indicate the card be pretty much max out as be . I be switch from a ATI 7950 -lrb- Gigabyte Windforce -rrb- . the 7950 at a max overclock be slightly faster than the 670 gtx in my experience . however , amd\/ati suffer from many driver issue and game do not typically scale as well in Crossfire as they do in SLI . of note though , the AMD card do appear to render higher quality graphic at default setting . I would not recommend switching from a AMD 7000 series card to a Nvidia 600 series card but anything else will certainly be a huge step up . one star deduct as the qa of the card be not great at this point . +20 GraphicsCard POS 4 I upgrade from a Nvidia 9800 gt -lrb- which im sell on ebay hit I up yo firblade274 -rrb- and run a q6600 quad core duo 2.4 ghz CPU on 64 bit Vista , not overclock as I sadly have a stock HP mobo . on my Nvidia after 3 year I begin to notice in large Shogun 2 battle the game would get laggy and id have to turn down the setting : -lrb- and I could actually run Crysis on full setting I believe , that be until I begin move around lol . sooo I choose to make my first ever computer upgrade and pick up this nifty card for $ 212 . I have yet to play a game it will not run max setting on -lrb- one exception-see below -rrb- . shogun2 , Sniper V2 , Silent Hunter 4 & 5 , you name it , she probably play it , all on max setting , and if it fallow in my 9800 gt 's footstep , it should be just fine for the next few year worth of game I can throw at it . one game exception that I just can not explain ; I can not play city XL 2012 without huge lag when my city just start become big ! I didnt think it be such a graphic demandig game , but I think that this be because of my CPU . need to get a new mobo and overclock . id also like to note that AMD recommend at least a 500w power supply for this card . yea I know the debate on most computer not need more then 3-400w unless you happen to be like use you computer to jump-start you car , but I have about 430w , and I notice when I choose to manually run the fan at 100 % shogun 2 get laggy . maybe 100 % fan power take up too much juice and leave too little power for the card to process the game information ? whatever it be , I just let it control the fan speed automatically now and I have have no problem since . . its a pretty huge card and take awhile before I be finally able to fit it into my HP Pavilion case , like another guy say it block some extra seta port that I dont use , but after some `` critical thinking '' I finally get it in haha -lrb- I mean I be NOT go to send my new child back to Sapphire that quick -rrb- . I get it a few month ago , and look back now I wish I jump onto the 7xxx series bandwagon , as you can get the 7870 for like $ 60 buck more then this one , and just shy over $ 40 more will score you the 7850 . I hear the 7870 have have alot of compatability problem with bluescreen and hard shut-downs require however , so that make I feel a little better about my 6950 purchace : -rrb- I think what i 'll do be stick with my 6950 card and upgrade : when 8xxx series come out , if this thing start lagging future game -lrb- dont see that happen for awhile -rrb- , or if direct x12 come out and this card be not give support for it . and if i have the require fund of course . well I hope this review help someone , I think its the first one ive ever write . the size of the card be mindboggling compair to my single slot 9800gt . . even my friend who have no knowledge of computer-interal device could appriciate how much more powerful this thing be to my 9800gt -lrb- although the gt do really good for I . it run nearly all my game on high setting , include but not limit too silent Hunter 4 & 5 -rrb- call all optimist : I also hope someone can help convince I I make a smart decision get the 6950 over the 7850 + card lol . YAY for wishful think ! +223 GraphicsCard NEG 1 the product do not work with newer monitor it do not even recognize then , you should not buy this unless you like paper weight with blue light or waste you money . +565 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy this because I want to purchase rage and battlefield 3 and my current 5830 be not work with rage . I do get this thing work perfect with rage but I do have to shut off all my extra monitor and run rage with just one . this thing be powerful and nice but rage be just so demand . bf3 be not out yet but I believe it will work fine with that too . +420 GraphicsCard POS 5 the video card meet all my requirement good price and excellent quality . . it be the guarantee to any buyer +800 GraphicsCard POS 4 I now have two Acer 2216 's -lrb- 22 '' widescreen -rrb- both run at 1680x1050 , one from my new Samsung laptop 's VGA port , one from a usb port through the StarTech to the other Acer 's VGA input . setup be perform exactly as require by StarTech , and the screen come immediately to life upon the restart , but at a lower resolution than the monitor can support . I spend some time on the various onscreen display controller -lrb- the Samsung have both a motherboard controller program and a separate `` video card '' controller for faster video when need , plus the new controller program install by the StarTech -rrb- . it take some effort get to the right button here and there -lrb- use the StarTech 's -rrb- , but both screen be now at they optimal resolution , side by side on my desk , in extend desktop mode -lrb- a 44x16 '' desktop , begin to look like the bridge of the old starship enterprise -rrb- . better yet , I have not have to reset anything each morning after full shutdown -lrb- or hibernate -rrb- since this be install , include removal of the laptop for use elsewhere . the laptop work normally on its own , and the big screen come back perfectly when I reconnect they . as another reviewer indicate , it be great to have a complex product do what the manufacturer promise . a note , not a problem for I but worth mention : the monitor see through the StarTech have a slow refresh rate . not noticeable in most normal use -lrb- text , web , email , photo -rrb- , but too slow for video . Video remain fine on the other big screen . -lrb- note on March 1st , after a month + of use : the drag this system impose on my usb controller cause it to miss mouse click often - it be necessary to hold the mouse button a bit longer than usual to get a response . I be run a pretty fast i5-processor laptop ; other will also have this problem . it be enough of a irritation to drop my review to 4 star . I still recommend the device : it allow I to have the two large hi-re screen run , as discuss above . -rrb- +523 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have always prefer NVIDIA since i start mess around with computer ... Easy installation for a old computer with a bad card in it ... installation take 2 minute and im 15 ! some other thing to know : you may have to open the control panel of the NVIDIA as the quality of mine be turn up and slow down games\/web page ... there be a performance and quality bar which make a huge difference when i put it all the way to performance ! either way , super happy with my purchase and if i ever need another i will definitely look for a NVIDIA +832 GraphicsCard POS 5 this video card be on the performance limbo between 6870 and 7850 , faster than 6870 and slower -lrb- by little to no margin , ej 1fp less on bf3 all max out on some benchmark -rrb- than 7850 . still price wise this be a real steal , its huge which its the only con I have find so far , but the performance be simply amazing , I trow everything I have at this card , stalker -lrb- old game , yes , new high def mod install though -rrb- , Borderlands , Mass effect , GTA , tf2 , WoW , Company of Heroes , Starcraft 2 and a lot more , all this card do be laugh at I while say `` be that all you have get ? '' no need to overclock , frankly there be no need to , crossfire bridge ? no need for it either . I can stay here all day long speak how amazing this card be , but the bottom line be , this card will do what you want it to do , and much more . +905 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have have this graphic card for one month and there have be no trouble with it . pop it in , download driver online , and it work like a charm . I play most game on highest setting and do not lag at all . the dirt3 coupon that come with this work right away . I do not see why so many people be have trouble get it to work . the graphic card also come with a VGA to DVI adapter , which I find to be handy . the card be quite large but what graphic card be not nowadays ? run it on a 550w power supply and it idle at around 40c . +546 GraphicsCard POS 5 just get and install it into my HP Pavilion Elite hpe-480t . card fit fine and be easy to install , do have to upgrade my PSU though . I purchase the Corsair 600w , which also fit fine and I would recommend . with the card you can get a free game call Dirt 3 through steam . the offer say it expire on 12\/31\/11 but it still work when I try it today -lrb- 01\/12\/12 -rrb- . first thing I do be log into starcraft 2 and I be get between 80-100 fp play on ultra setting . : -rrb- it have no fan noise so far and be a beast . just fill out the rebate form for $ 20 so make sure you purchase it soon . I think the rebate end on 01\/14\/12 . I be now off to get BattleField 3 which this card will also run on the highest setting !!! +322 GraphicsCard POS 4 I use nVidia card for render scene from 3d content creation software -lrb- in this case blender with its cycle GPU renderer -rrb- , so this review will almost certainly not be relevant to most of the people look at this item . I get this as a upgrade over my current EVGA gtx 550 ti -lrb- which I also use for 3d rendering but do not have enough RAM for large scene -rrb- . I do realize that these card be make with gaming in mind but give such good performance -lrb- thanks to those CUDA core -rrb- that they be a much better deal than either the Quadro or Tesla gpus . the only real downside be the heat that these generate . my old 550 would hover at a steady 80c while under load -lrb- which be for a very long time in this sort of application since the GPU will work at 99-100 % for the duration of the render - which can take between a few minute to month if you be render a longer animation -rrb- . this gtx 570 have the advantage of have 2.5 gb RAM onboard but also generate a lot more heat thanks to its higher clock speed and significantly higher core count . during render it would idle at 89-90c , which be way up there . some mess around with the include precision tuning software to up the fan speed help cool thing down a little but eventually I have to underclock the card by around 200mhz to get it down to around 80c . performance-wise it cut render time down to a quarter ! totally worth it when that mean ~ 5 hour versus ~ 20 for a image . I be invest in a couple more fan to move air in , out , and around my system . liquid cooling would probably do this wonder but I do not trust it in case of a leak in my main production machine . I would love to tell you how it run game but the most graphically demand one that I own for the pc be Bioshock -lrb- which be far from new -rrb- , which this run buttery smooth on max setting . so take that for whatever it be worth . it be worth note that I live in Hawaii and therefore have a pretty high ambient temperature : -lrb- I will upload some example screenshot of it in action . Update - 2 week later : after add three additional fan to my system I have only manage to get the GPU temperature to drop by 4c . the idea of have it burn out soon or melt down \/ catch fire -lrb- unlikely though that may be -rrb- lead I to give in and invest in liquid cooling . I get a Koolance ext-440 external all in one -lrb- pump , liquid reservoir , radiator -rrb- with a Koolance gpu-210 universal GPU cool block and some Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste . it be not cheap , but it actually run at a good temperature now -lrb- and altogether still cost less than a good Quadro card ! -rrb- . under very heavy load it stick to 60c with the standard clock setting . if I underclock I can get it to run at a steady 40c under full load . much happier now , just cross finger that I do not end up with a spill : -rrb- +99 GraphicsCard NEG 2 last Update : just want to add - if you select a hdtv resolution -lrb- 720p\/1080i\/1080p -rrb- in CCC , the audio will not drop out . unfortunately for I , my lcd 's native resolution be 1360x768 so I have to choose that resolution which be consider a basic resolution in CCC . for any basic resolution , the audio will cut out . one workaround would be to run a digital coax\/optical from my mobo to the receiver , but this add a extra cable lol . I be still just use my 5770 since I be have a hard time justify the price of a 6950 since you can find a 7850 for the same price . I be hold out for the hope that AMD will release a driver fix , in which case I would repurchase the 7850 . or if Amazon would put out a deal on the LG 55LM7600 , I would get that , rebuy this card , run 1080p , and call it a day . Update 2 : well my new receiver come , Denon 2312CI , and unfortunately that receiver experience the same issue with the Sapphire 7850 as my Onkyo do , confirm by testing in 2 different computer . my old Radeon 5770 still work perfectly in both computer and with both receiver . I have come to the conclusion , that this 7850 , at least the 2 particular Sapphire 7850 card I receive , do not smoothly stream audio to a receiver over hdmus without cut out every now and then . Update : I also try Catalyst 12.6 beta , a new HDMI cable , and a different input on my receiver . I try everything except hook the 7850 straight up to my lcd and use my lcd 's speaker . this be what I just do and so far , 10 song , I do not think I have hear it skip , unless it happen so fast that I be not pick up on it . on the Onkyo receiver , when it would skip , the no audio source would show up for a second while the receiver look for the audio . I do not understand why my hd5770 would work fine with the Onkyo 707 and the 7850 would not . be it a problem with the receiver or the 7850 ? I would need either another 7850 or another receiver to confirm , both of which I do not have . I 'll do more research and update soon . : End Edit I be so stoke to upgrade my Radeon hd5770 with this card for summertime gaming . my gaming\/htpc consist of a Intel i7-860 , Asus P7P55D , G. Skill 8gb ddr3 , crucial 256gb m4 , Onkyo TX-SR707 , AV123 ELT525T speaker , and Samsung 40 '' lcd -lrb- upgrade to 55 '' lead soon -rrb- . I slap this silent beast into my computer and reinstall the newest Catalyst 12.4 driver and off I be . I do some video benchmark and then watch some YouTube video since I have a couple friend over . then something weird start happen . in about every YouTube video I play , the audio would cut out for a second , and then come back in . I have my setup as follow Video Card HDMI - -rrb- Receiver HDMI in and then HDMI out - -rrb- tv . with my previous hd5770 , all other component be the same , I never have audio cut out ever . I think it might have be a problem with flash 's hardware acceleration , so I unchecked that , but the audio still cut out for a second . I then think it be a problem with flash so I play some html5 YouTube video , still the audio would cut out for a second and then resume . then I think it be maybe a problem with Firefox , so I play iTunes on repeat , and about every 5 minute or so -lrb- sometimes less , sometimes more -rrb- , the audio would drop out for a second and then come back . so then I think it be maybe a problem with Catalyst 12.4 so I try Catalyst 12.3 and Catalyst 12.5 beta , still same problem . then I try format and reinstall Windows 7 pro 64bit , still the same problem in every application . at this point , I swap my hd5770 card back in , watch a dozen YouTube video and play iTunes for a hour or so , no skip , no drop out , everything play perfectly . so then I think maybe there be some other component in my computer that just do not play nicely with the hd7850 , so I install it in my office comp -lrb- Intel c2d e6600 , Gigabyte p35-ds3l , 4gb ddr2 , Intel X25-M 80gb , this be the computer that my hd5770 will be go in -rrb- . and in this computer too , the audio from Sapphire 's 7850 would cut out for a second and then resume in every application I try . swap the hd5770 back in and no problem . at this point , I have determine that it must be a problem within the Sapphire hd7850 . the HDMI in the card I receive just can not play media without the audio randomly cut out\/skipping . this be very unfortunate since otherwise , this be a powerful and quiet card . I have not send it back yet , still google for answer -lrb- Sapphire 's Community Run support Forum be a joke -rrb- , but I will most likely end up send it back within the next 2 week . I be weary of try another hd7850 card from a different manufacturer for fear of the same thing happen , so I may get a NVIDIA GeForce 570 GTX , even though it will run hotter and probably louder ... unless I build up the courage and money to try a radeon hd7870 . +164 GraphicsCard POS 4 \*\*\* THIS CARD will take 3 slot instead of 2 ! edit - this card be great if you only plan to RUN one card , HOWEVER EVEN ON MY EXTENDED ATX MOTHERBOARD -lrb- I run on the asus iv rampage extreme-z -rrb- two card take up the entire BOARD of 5 slot ! if you run one monitor you will be SET with one card for sure , HOWEVER if you run eyefinity like me , XFIRE be GOING to be a have to THING SOON with unreal engie 4 in ORDER to keep it at OPTIMAL performance and with this card ... XFIRE be NOT possible on most motherboard comfortably which be QUITE IRRITATING to buy only to find you have to sell it in ORDER to get ANOTHER 7970 that size for xfire , just go with a reference card if you plan to XFIRE , you will be MUCH HAPPIER ! I receive this card about a week ago to go with my new upgrade for my desktop . this thing perform like a champ ! the dual bio switch be awesome because bio set 2 `` unlock '' the card to overclock it and if it crash anytime just switch it to bio 1 and you be good to go ! this card be large , but not any larger than the 6870 it replace in my opinion . I would however recommend get 1 card before purchase 2 to make sure you motherboard be big enough to take both card . I run the extended ATX Asus Extreme iv motherboard and I plan to crossfire 2 of they and will still have enough room for one slot for a wifus card or something small . card be amazing all around though and do not regret spend the $ 450 on it for a second , one of these will handle eyefinity at med-high setting which be what I plan to do ! ca not ask for more out of a grahic card ! +483 GraphicsCard POS 5 I originally be saddened very much when I learn how obsolete my old video card be . I upgrade from a ATI Radeon 9800 XT -lrb- AGP interface -rrb- . I think this card be awesome and be disappoint that it be the only thing hold I back from play newer game such as Bioshock . my older card only have pixel shader 2.0 . this be very depressing as I buy the computer use and be not look forward to the option of have to replace the whole system . however I be surprise to see that such a good card come in the agp format . this card be just awesome . it be however extremely long , longer then I have anticipate . if you computer be a small compact thing , this simply will not fit in it . it have a power cord that come with it . its really simple to plug in ; just make sure you power supply can handle the extra strain . also this card do come with DVI port -lrb- 2 -rrb- and s-video -lrb- 1 -rrb- . do not worry though : this card will work with you standard VGA monitor as they include a converter . however to fully appreciate this card , you will get better result with a lcd via DVI connection . this card so far have handle everything I have throw at it with surprising number of fp -lrb- frame per second -rrb- . I be extremely pleased with this card . I be not look forward to have to replace my whole computer just to try and get a pci-e slot . if you know you case have a great amount of space , and you look to take you game to the next level , you should really try this card out . you will be stunned ! +866 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be a great option of video card , i be get 60-90 fp in bf3 all the time no matter what , and in dota 2 120 fp , the noise be not bad , and the temp be around 70 c under load , so be not bad at all after 4 hour of bf3 . in 3d mark 2011 score of 9200 z68 asrock extreme3 gen 3 core i7 2600k stock no oc . 16 giga ddr 3 1600 Intel 520 ssd 120 g sa iii EVGA gtx 670 ftw 02g-p4-2678-kr Antec High Current Gamer hcg-750 , 80 plus bronze , 750 Watt Power Supply I can not wait to get a second one for my slus ... I really recomend this card to anyone who like to play smooth . muy buena tarjeta todo corre de maravillas se la recomiendo a todo pronto viene la segunda para mi sli . o. 0 +208 GraphicsCard POS 5 have to get this GPU when I upgrade to Windows 7 . Works great with window 7 . Color setting be easy and give you plenty of option for most view need . Mine be use primarily as a Media Center PC , so I stream tv , movie to my hd tv . so far no complaint . would definitely recommend this for those who have older motherboard and need agp card . +837 GraphicsCard POS 5 the card work great straight out of the box . install the latest driver from the site and be run window 7 . upgrade my friend out dated desktop and he be love it . play he hd movie to he plasma screen from the computer use a DVI to HDMI cable . great picture quality . +854 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have a older pc in a low profile case that I want to make into a simple media center . Problem be the original video card be really old and do not have the chop to work in that capacity , nor do it have driver available for anything past Windows xp and I be go to run Windows 7 on it . I buy a different low profile card with a fan on it , but the constant whine of the fan be horrible and distracting . that be when I stumble into this card . this be a great card , fit perfectly in my low profile case , and be totally silent . there be recent driver for it that work with Windows 7 . truly , it be plug and play - stick it in the computer and everything just work . not only that , but the price be totally right - I do not pay hundred of dollar for a card I will not get the value from . if you have a older computer that only have pcus in it , this be a great choice . I totally recommend it . +677 GraphicsCard POS 5 i purchase this sparkle geforce 8400g 512 mb ddr3 pcus with native HDMI Graphics Card to replace my deteriorate 2005 Windows Media Center 32-bit pc graphic card . I swap the old evga graphic card with the Sparkle GeForce 8400 g , I start the pc , and window 7 automatically recognize the change , and download GeForce 8400 g driver from the Nvidia website . I then right click my computer\/properties\/device manager\/display adopter , disabled the old evga driver , and of course enable the new Geforce 8400 g driver . the HDMI port be work well with my 30 '' monitor and thing seem to be work fine . the pc performance have increase from 1.5 to 3.9 and the aero be work . however , I have not see much improvement from switch to HDMI and the booting of the pc seem to be a little bit slower than before . the computer fan be much quieter and I hope the thickness of the card will not cause a capacitor sit right under it to overheat . as at now , life be great . +806 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have have this card for a while now . about a month or so . and it have max out everything so far ! -lrb- Skyrim , tf2 , Amnesia etc. -rrb- but one thing I have to throw out there be the fact that some game have some graphical problem , and the customer service of AMD really suck . but after download the beta driver from Catalyst , everything run flawlessly . 4\/5 because of some error with amnesia and minecraft , but after some tweaking with beta driver , problem all solve . EDIT : with the 12.7 driver , this card be a 5\/5 ! : -rrb- -rrb- +993 GraphicsCard NEG 1 this product could not be install without the 6-prong power adapter-not included\/not sell at Radio Shack or best buy \/ no way to use the product without have it professionally install because no one else sell the cable . a waste of my time and my money . +911 GraphicsCard POS 5 usually when you buy a cheap peripheral video card you expect only exceed a little bit the resolution of the onboard video graphic , but in my opinion , this video card be more reliable than the expensive one . play video game require more power , more advanced software . but it cost you . +488 GraphicsCard POS 4 product come with only a cd - no install insttruction . could not use CD until after the card be install and operate use the m driver that be initially install when new hardware be detect at bootup . my os be WXP . I be able to get the correct driver from the cd to load by the followig procedure : Control Panel\/System\/Hardware \/ deveice manager\/display adapters\/properties\/driver tab\/update driver\/select `` yes this time only '' , then Next\/select `` install from a list or specific locaton , next\/select `` search for the best driver in these location '' and check `` search removable media '' , have the cd in the CD drive and select the next button . this should start the CD ... follow the instruction on the screen . +386 GraphicsCard POS 4 Works perfect with window 7 except in linux ubuntu all version to 11.10 . I have be look to see if there be a way to make it work good in linux , even have last driver . if anyone know let I know . +528 GraphicsCard POS 5 buy this to replace two Sapphire 512MB 4870 card . the decrease in noise and temperature be unbelievable . I bump up Skyrim from very high setting to ultra high . much smoother . love the performance increase . the only downside that I have find be a intermittent black screen flash . seem random . happen any time , browse , vpn , gaming . do not happen often . happen when the card 's speed toggle be flip to either setting . hope it be a driver issue . go to hold out for the next version to see if it be fix before talk with support . +147 GraphicsCard POS 5 if you be debate between the stock version of this card or the FTW card definitely go for the ftw edition . the ftw edition have a full length pcb while the reference design -lrb- stock -rrb- have a shorten pcb . with a full PCB you have extra cooling advantage and more high overclock . right now I get a nice stable overclock with the power target in between 125-130 % with +100 MHz GPU clock offset . with that I get a clock speed of 283mhz over stock . 1289mhz for core clock . Stock speed on gtx 260 benchmark test : 54FPS Stock speed on gtx 670 benchmark test : 140fp get 148fps same test with this overclock . -lrb- roughly 28 % overclock -rrb- another benchmark to help show how good this card be : call of duty mw2 and call of duty mw3 get about 90-92 fp across 3 full hd monitor . -lrb- 5760x1080 -rrb- max every setting . the card run cool . in my system idle about 45 degree and about 70 with full load and overclock . you will not be disappoint in this purchase ! 5 star for AMAZON , EVGA , and NVIDIA ! +459 GraphicsCard POS 4 while the original list price for this video card be $ 95 , there be rebate and sale ongoing which can drive the price down to nearly $ 50 - that be how I get mine yesterday . the video card itself be attractively design ; the 100mm fan provide some serious cooling -lrb- without have to connect a additional power line -rrb- and the blue pcb match the color of my motherboard -lrb- also by Gigabyte -rrb- very nicely . the big fan , however , can cover up the pcix1 slot on some motherboard -lrb- include my Gigabyte 78lmt-s2p -rrb- , which be potentially awkward if you be want to use that expansion slot . installation of both hardware and driver be easy , and I obtain the latest ATI Catalyst driver almost immediately upon installation -lrb- the driver cd include , I believe , version 11.5 ; the latest Catalyst suite at the time of write be 12.0 \/ 12.1 -rrb- . the card include a VGA -lrb- d-sub -rrb- connector for legacy monitor , though if you have a monitor with dvi capability , such as my HP s2031 , you will certainly want to use the DVI connector on the card . Graphics quality in conjunction with my s2031 monitor be excellent so far . I buy this card especially to play the upcome Guild war 2 , and while that game -lrb- which be in closed beta at time of write -rrb- be not out yet , my Windows experience index have be boost from a original , and somewhat lackluster , score of 4.9 with the integrate video that I be originally use to 6.8 . the card carry a print requirement of a 400w minimum power supply , which be less demand than high-end graphic card . overall , remember that this be essentially a midrange card , but it have ample power and the new price deal make it a very attractive option for those who be look to upgrade they Radeon video from one of the lower-range card but can not afford one of the heavy hitter like the 6870 or 6970 . I really would rate it 4.5 star if I could ; I would like to give it 5 star but really have not have the card in my system long enough . edit -lrb- August 18 , 2012 -rrb- : after extensively play through the open-beta phase of Guild war 2 -lrb- 3 beta weekend event and 7 stress test -rrb- , I can report that this card handle the game very well . most of the graphic setting be set by default to `` medium '' with this card , so you should not expect - as I advise in February - quality to be as good as a high-end card . `` medium '' graphic quality in gw2 , however , be as good or better than a lot of other game , and certainly better than gw1 . another note I need to add be that the official power-supply rating be too low . while the box say you can use a 400-watt power supply , you really need a 500w PS for extended gaming or other graphics-heavy operation . I find this out the hard way when the 400w PS that come with my custom-built system crap out early on in the third gw2 beta weekend last month ; I have to take it back to the shop -lrb- fortunately under warranty -rrb- and have a more powerful PS install . I end up play the rest of the beta weekend on my laptop -lrb- not a big deal , really , since I would need to see how well my laptop could handle the game - quite well , as it turn out , but that be a different subject -rrb- . +387 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be a great card for the price and rebate , can not beat it . it help my older pc in make it faster and able to run areo in win 7 . I would recommend this product , but the disk that come with it driver be way out of date . its nivida web site to get the brand new driver for it and software also . +876 GraphicsCard POS 5 pro and con : 1 . Easy installation . I do not see any problem with win7 and xp . 2 . dual support be very good , the ATI setup software be also very useful . 3 . a little bit fan noise . but I use fanless card before so I do not have any comparison with other card with fan . other thought : 1 . why even the same model -lrb- visiontek -rrb- have different port design ? I find in another store there be a direct hdmus port -lrb- i.e. , 1 hdmus + 1 VGA + 1 dvi -rrb- . but this one have dvi+vga+ - video plus a dvi-hdmus adapter . 2 . can the DVI-HDMI adapter have a `` hdmus with audio '' linkage , as advertise on the box ? +637 GraphicsCard POS 4 I buy this so that I could connect the hdmus output to my HGTV . it work great for that purpose but , it be not up to current game ' need . it be really slow for gaming - I will have to use 2 graphic card , one for the hdtv and one for gaming . +332 GraphicsCard POS 4 I buy this to replace a failed card in my Linux Mythtv frondend machine . I need it primarily for the tv out -lrb- s-video -rrb- capability . this card be a drop-in replacemnt for the older GeForce 6200 card that fail . it work flawlessly with the exist debian\/gnome setup on this machine . +123 GraphicsCard POS 5 for the price this graphic card deliver !!! awesome picture quality !!! Easy to install !!! definitely recommend to anyone who need a good card on a small budget . +91 GraphicsCard NEG 1 EVGA have consistently refuse to release a backplate for 570 hd card . the backplate would add much-needed strength , cooling , and better look . these card be flimsy without a backplate , which be why it should come with one stock . why do it not ??????? for the money they charge , it should be include ! please do not give they you hard-earned money until they begin to listen to the customer . boycott evga until they listen to the customer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MSI and ASUS make excellent 570 card , try one of they . asus gtx570 directcu ii graphic card with dual-fan cooling performance , engtx570 dcii\/2dis\/1280md5 +402 GraphicsCard POS 5 great video card for the older computer . Works well with Windows 7 . great video company . product be a excellent price value and be deliver ahead of time . +957 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I be on my second 670 . the first one would lose signal to the monitor on just go into the nvidium setting or play Diablo for then 5min and that game be not intensive . I of course try the official and beta driver . waste a day try to figure it out but realize it be the gpu so I rma it to amazon for a exchange . now come the second one . which start out promising , I be able to play Diablo for a hour but then I get a Nvidia openGL lose signal to display error . research online its a error that the gpu do not respond back to the os in time . really ? this new fast gpu can not respond in time for the os . the advice give to fix this be to up the time the os wait from the default of 2 sec . I do 10 which should be more then enough since the default be 2 . I reboot and start gaming and within 30 min same error . this be again with Diablo . so after more research I find a program call furmark to test the gpu . within 10 sec run it , the program crash with the same error . I could not even finish the test . I run it 3 more time with the same result . I finally give up and go return this for a refund . go to be play with my onboard gpu since that do not give I any problem . +794 GraphicsCard POS 4 - review by AbudgetPC Feedback this card be a excellent choice for all budget gamer 's and general consumer . Sapphire - a world leader in the manufacturing in AMD card do yet another superb job on this hd7770 . with many extra such as a mini-display port to a display port 1.2 adapter sapphire include many item that other company leave out . a sleek design with a nice fan give this card a nice look . with a 1ghz gpu core clock and 1gb of gddr5 this card put good frame rate on all of the game today . with featrue such as a new 28nm technology , eyefinity support , crossfire x support , 3d support and more this card be not to be put off at such a low price . in my opinion this a perfect level budget card for the average gamer . for the price at Amazon it be a must have card . for a video unboxing of this card check out my youtube channel - abudgetpc +954 GraphicsCard NEG 1 pro : none con : cheap , flimsy plastic cooler . flash\/flicker like crazy whenever the screen switch -lrb- reboot to post , enter & exit bio , and sometimes during game 's cinematic scene when it switch from one scene to the next and screen flash . -rrb- Random stuttering during intensive gaming in diablo3 , Crysis Warhead , leave 4 dead2 . and a kind of faint but continuous coil whine noise that will drive you insane over time . on top of all that , Amazon keep shipping I use video card from they return Center . I pay $ 500 for a video card , but Amazon ship I another customer 's return that clearly be DEFECTIVE . I get a exchange and it have the exact same problem . I uninstall the driver + software and pop in my old xfx hd6970 , everything work just fine . I be now file a full refund and will buy from a retail store . at least I will get a brand new seal video card off the shelf . if a customer return a product because he complain about problem with it , then you should send it back to the manufacturer , not sell it to another customer . that be bad business practice , I be extremely disappoint in Amazon now . +572 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be a very high quality piece , craftsmanship show . sure , there be faster card out there , but this card be run sc2 at ultra setting in 1980x1080 without break a sweat . I average 45 + fp . before overclock . for $ 160 , that be hard to top . also , the Trixx software from Sapphire be extremely easy to use . I be now run a 11 % GPU overclock and 20 % memory overclock while maintain -lrb- 60c temp run fan at 35 % . Stock fan\/heatsink . not one crash . great buy . +260 GraphicsCard POS 5 installation of the card be fairly easy . hint : read and use the instruction which be a breeze to follow . there be many YouTube `` how to '' video out there which may or may not work . we find the write instruction very accurate . the only problem encounter -lrb- specific to Gateway SX2800-01 computer -rrb- be that we have plan on use the VGA output to we monitor . unfortunately the VGA connection cord on the card be not long enough to fit in the lower computer slot . however , we solve this by purchase a DVI to VGA converter and just remove the VGA connection from the card before install . one other issue to note be that that the short form bracket do not come with the card so if you expect to use this card in a short form computer you will need to purchase separately . overall the card have perform as expect . the Windows 7 Graphics score increase from 4.5 to 4.7 and gaming graphic from 3.6 to 6.1 . not a huge increase but this be a very low end graphic card so we be satisfy with the improvement . the main reason for the purchase my son want to be able to play Guild war 2 which he be now able to at mostly low and medium setting . +83 GraphicsCard POS 4 buy two card to Crossfire . nice graphic , very clean and clear . not to bad on fan noise , but the heat come off these card be blast I out of my office . very hot at about 226f , during moderate graphic usage . I be not sure that these card be suppose to work that HOT ??? in any case , I like the price for the performance . just can not beat that , but they could have include the bridge connector . now , if I can just manage that heat . +426 GraphicsCard POS 5 be a excellent video card ... but you have to be aware of previous video card software ... they might interfer in you ATI radeon performance ... I recommend unnistal previous video card software , and then install the new one ... +304 GraphicsCard POS 5 I be use this card to drive two display on a older HP system run Vista . I do not play game on the system but this card be great for video , photo , etc. . +791 GraphicsCard NEG 1 i do not like it because it do not work on window xp otherwise its ok software hard to install return it +410 GraphicsCard POS 5 last week , my overclocked gtx 580 die . it be not overclock that much , but obviously something happen . in any case , when I be troubleshoot why my computer be pull a bsod -lrb- blue screen of death -rrb- before Windows could even load every time I would restart my computer , I downclock my processor to it be normal speed as well in a attempt to find out what have happen . at that point , I do not know what have go wrong . previously , my spec be : i7 950 @ 4.1 ghz - temp : 70 c -lrb- full load , overclocked -rrb- gtx 580 - temp : 80 c -lrb- full load , overclocked -rrb- Skyrim Average FPS : 45 when I find out that it be just the graphic card give I trouble , I quickly order the gtx 680 . I vow that I would not overclock the GPU . I would decide later if I would overclock my CPU again . New spec : i7 950 @ 3.1 ghz - temp : 58 c -lrb- full load -rrb- gtx 680 - temp : 72 c -lrb- full load -rrb- Skyrim Average FPS : 60 despite replace my broken graphic card with a more powerful one , I be still worry that I would hit a CPU ceiling\/bottleneck , especially since the CPU clock speed be now a entire ghz slower ! to my shock , this be not the case . the game I play be actually run faster and smoother -lrb- try out adaptive vsync - it rock -rrb- . the card be obviously a beast . for the game to run faster and smoother with that much difference in processor speed be impressive . I now get perfect FPS 99 % of the time . I be still kind of weird out by my result . but hey - I be not complain ! +425 GraphicsCard NEG 2 EVGA GeForce 6200 512 mb ddr2 pcus 2.1 VGA\/DVI-I\/S-Video Graphics Card , 512-p1-n402-lr , order the agp version of this card and be send the pcus version . oops , Amazon pull a fast one on I inadvertently or otherwise ! I decide to pass on go through any return drama and install the card hope the increase memory would be helpful . previously have install ATI 128Mb\/128 bit card on a 8 year old xp box and it work flawlessly . just the lack of memory inhibit streaming via Netflix , so think upgrade to a card with 512 mb memory would help and it do . KINDA ! this card be 64bit which seem stupid with the 512 mb memory , go figure . when streaming video say from NetFlix , HULU the sound have a lot of static , yes static and be un-listenable . not good ! I believe the APG -lrb- advance computer graphic -rrb- be the best for it be time but man , this pcus -lrb- not PCI Express -rrb- card suck . ca not recommend this card , it be buggy ! +564 GraphicsCard NEU 3 very few word can describe this product ! it be a fantastic graphic card for sure . I can ` t and wont argue that . the thing i can argue and the reason i give it 3 star be price ! $ 900 for a Graphics card be very very steep ! I have notice a difference between this one and the other 4 card i have go through but i would have rather stay with 2 of those other card and save the $ 350 ! +130 GraphicsCard POS 5 I just upgrade my `` OLD `` video card from a Geforce 250gt to this `` NEW '' & it be like night and day . it be awesome i mean its Awesome . I 'll be upgrade the cpu & mb later in the year `` i7\/z77 '' but for now use a e6600 dual core cpu & its huge upgrade just with this card . Overclock be easy & good 20 % -30 % boost if you want to OC & temp stay `` cool '' , speaking of temp at idle i get 33c & 56c load . I would highly recommend this to anyone with a 240-260 $ budget even with a older dual core cpu . . +28 GraphicsCard POS 5 so i be plan to upgrade my Radeon x1950pro and ofcourse i do some research for some budget card out there that can support latest game and find out the 6850 , after browse some forum i do find the 6870 for $ 30 more and people be say that the extra $ $ $ be worth it , thank goodness i listen . installation be a breeze , i uninstall the old card then put this card on it , win 7 detect it right away , i do not use the CD software though cuz i download the latest driver tru AMD website . after that i test it on my Diablo 3 with all Max setting and boy it be great , the game play smoothly with occasional lag but i think that related to the online-server thing . so far the card have be do a great job , my only con be the plastic cover on the card look cheap compare to my ATi RAdeon X1950 . my spec : core i5 650 3.20 ghz 1t hard drive 4gb Ram -lrb- be plan to upgrade it to 8gb 1333 or 4gb 1600 , still do research on it -rrb- window 7 64-bit Radeon HD 6870 Game test so far w \/ this card : diablo 3 - Max Setting +379 GraphicsCard POS 5 have be rock this card for a month now handle anything I throw at it . plug and play plus the easy flip of a switch to turn it into a 6970 you cant go wrong . look forward to get another one so I can cross fire it ! +306 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be the first graphic card I buy . I be not a pro-gamer or anything but I play a little bit of Star Craft 2 and the graphic be just really good . it can run on ultra setting and still yield good fp . go for it ! +987 GraphicsCard NEG 2 I be not satisfied because this product be not able to work for what I ask and what it be say it could do . +166 GraphicsCard NEU 3 I buy this card to power two 24 '' monitor . it work just fine do so , but only if I do not watch video or play 3d game . the problem be more about the cooling system on this thing . sure , it be quite , but it be very inadequate for anything that require performance . everything be go just fine and I can see that the GPU temp be skyrocket . it seem to sit around 129 f to 150 f when I be write document and surf the internet . then when I watch video it hit 190 f very quickly , but the fan itself be slowly move up . I think that if the fan sit at 80 % at all time and then move quickly to match the increase temp of the GPU this thing would do better . as it stand ... if I be watch a video at it sit at 190 f or higher for very long the screen go black as the driver fail or the card itself be fail . I do not know which because it stay off . not black out . my monitor tell I they be not get a signal . this thing seem to turn itself off on account of the heat . I would much rather have 5 time the noise and keep this thing run while watch video then have it much quieter than other card . +527 GraphicsCard POS 5 the EVGA GeForce 6200 be one of the best pcus card still available for desktop ... that be not run window 7 or higher . I have a older pentium 4 desktop -lrb- 2.88 ghz -rrb- that have decent office-spec but really be not ` up to par ' for major video use ... so I order the GeForce 6200 about a year ago , plug it into my old desktop run Vista , and voilum ... excellent video ! I turn this computer into my main streaming video computer ... it be my main view tv now -lrb- I also add a tv card to it -rrb- ... so now , I get my Netflix and local tv -lrb- via digital Antenna -rrb- , as well as internet and radio datum through it ... and the best thing be that I could go with the DVI to DVI cable from card-to-24 inch monitor easily . add a nice 5.1 surround system to the computer , I end up with about $ 250 total in a rockin ' TV\/Internet\/Radio \/ Video Computer System with surround sound ! everything be be together about a year now , it still get daily usage of anywhere from 10-20 hour a day -lrb- I leave it on while at work , for the cat and dog to have ` background sound ' -rrb- ... and all work well still . the video be super resolve , the hd tv be REALLY HD , most game play well ... even a few MMORPG 's -lrb- though at single core 2.88 Ghz , it be not a monster gaming computer , or anything -rrb- ... but overall ... the video card be awesome ... put it in , along with a tv card , and be amaze ! +406 GraphicsCard NEU 3 I recently come upon a nice server with pci-x slot , but no pci-e slot . although easy to confuse the two by name , they be not interchangeable . this pcus revision 2.1 fit perfectly into a pci-x slot to upgrade my Intel server to Windows 7 compatiblity with Aero-View . the onboard video be not design for home entertainment and barely have a 1.0 Windows experience index , but with this board the index come up to 2.5 , and Windows turn on Aero-View after the rating be update . evga geforce 6200 512 mb ddr2 pcus 2.1 VGA\/DVI-I\/S-Video Graphics Card , 512-p1-n402-lr +359 GraphicsCard NEG 2 this card will run any game at max setting with good frame rate . run very cool under full load . my only problem with it be mine have coil whine that can be very annoying under full load enable vsync help some but for a 550 $ it be very disappointing other than that its a amazing card . after a couple day of use the noise seem to be get worse . Sapphire be a very good graphic card maker it be seem like I have just be unlucky . Update : get a replacement card still have the coil whine but its not nearly as bad as the first one . I be bump the score up to 4 star for now . it really be a amazing card especially if you overclock it . also make sure to use bio 2 it have a much better fan profile . Update : I get a third replacement card do not have the coil whine what so ever very happy . I must have be just very unlucky . update : after a couple week of use I start get terrible artifact in bf3 and unigine heaven 3.0 . I go through every step I could think of try 4 different driver , re-seated the graphic card , uninstalling and reinstall bf3 , clean the pci-e slot with compress air , nothing work . it sadden I because this be such a amazing card while it work but for 450-500 $ product I should not be have all these problem . the other issue I have deal with be coil whine . I have 4 120mm fan and 2 140mm fan run at 100 % and I could still hear it . it be something a 450 + card should not be have issue with . I really like sapphire and amd as a company but enough be enough I be on to a new product . I still give it 2 star cause I be sure some people have have very good experience with this card . last Update : for all people that be have no issue with this card I just want to let you know I have switch to a gtx 680 do not believe all the hype the radeon 7970 be very very close to the same performance the only way you can even tell the 680 be faster be if you run frap . I be really disappointed that this card do not work out for I I really wish it have . for all potential purchaser I would say at 450 $ give this card a shot . +38 GraphicsCard POS 5 48 hour and thus far work we great , very quite and cool . Intel mb , Azza case , i5 Processor . . Temp idel be in the low-mid 30 . use primarily for FSX . +492 GraphicsCard POS 5 I recently purchase a new computer with integrated graphic . I know from past experience , and from read many review , that a `` dedicated '' graphic card be better because it can `` think '' for itself , take nothing away from RAM . true , the Radeon HD 4350 with 512mb may be toward the low end of the scale as graphic card go , but since I be not a gamer I be pleased as can be with it . with excellent color , clarity and response time it do everything I could possibly expect and then some . it be price right plus it have a DVI connector , something my pc do not have . for those who might be on `` fix '' income or some kind of budget and still want a few bell and whistle , then I would recommend this graphic card . advantage : you will not have to up grade you PSU if OEM be in the 300 watt range . +799 GraphicsCard POS 5 I need a pcus graphic card with a DVI output so I could add a second monitor . receive the card in a timely fasion , intall it in the pc , and I be up and run in 15 minute . I be very happy . +765 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card be for a customer . he hasnt give I any complain so far since its be like 2 month . he actually buy another to xfire they . +297 GraphicsCard POS 5 first , the item include in the box : two MOLEX 4 pin to pci-e connector converter . one for 6-pin and one for 8-pin . one hdmus to DVI converter . one minidp to DVI converter . one DVI to VGA converter . one crossfire cable . also include be a driver cd and a essentially useless Quick installation guide . basically everything you need be in the box . when I first install the card , I attempt to just use the latest version of Catalyst from AMD 's `` Desktop Video Card Drivers '' section on they website . oddly enough it do not work , as the 7970 be not detect . I end up use they auto detect and install program and that install the driver correctly . this card from VisionTek be entirely reference design with stock 7970 clock frequency . it replace my previous pair of geforce 280 GTX , and so far it definitely run cooler than those card -lrb- about 75 degree c underload while my 280 be much higher -rrb- . the 7970 correctly lower its clock frequency from 925 mhz to 350 mhz when it be idle , which be something that the nvidium card refuse to do when they be connect to multiple monitor -lrb- this be a known nvidium driver issue -rrb- . in addition , for people who may be interested in use this card for htpc purpose , you 'll be glad to know that this card correctly send out a 0-255 signal when connect to a hdtv . in comparison , nvidium card will automatically default to 16-235 level when they be connect to hdtv despite many complaint on this matter . as far as performance go , if you be read this review , you probably have a idea of it already . it be much faster than my previous 280 slus setup and perform as expect . I have yet to run into any problem and I do not expect to . be sure to also register you card to VisionTek within 30 day for lifetime warranty . Edit : I have now have about a week with this card ; a couple more observation : - unfortunately if the card be connect to multiple monitor when idle , while the core frequency downclock , the memory frequency do not . this do mean that the idle temperature will be higher if connect to multiple monitor compare to just one -lrb- the same as nvidium card -rrb- . the difference be around 20 degree c. Currently my card idle at ~ 66 degree c with a mild overclock with no change to fan control -lrb- accord to my research , ~ 60 degree c idle temp be normal for this card when connect to multiple monitor , of course depend on where you live -rrb- . if you only have it connect to one monitor , you should get closer to 40 degree . - this card overclock exceptionally well . I have not really push the limit of OC yet -lrb- only a ~ 15 % increase in both core and memory frequency -rrb- , and the card be rock solid with the temperature around 80 degree under load . all this just use AMD driver setting with default auto fan control . the increase in performance be near 1:1 ratio -lrb- 15 % oc be almost ~ 15 % performance increase -rrb- . I be sure I can push for more , but I be concern with the increase in idle temperature , which do occur with oc . - finally , currently there be a problem where if you computer enter sleep , the card might not `` wake up '' . you 'll get a black screen and there be no way to get out of it without reset the computer . to circumvent this you need to turn off sleep\/hibernate or powerplay . apparently not everyone get this issue , but I do have it happen to I . +238 GraphicsCard POS 4 it have dual bio but the extra shader will not unlock . try all know way to unlock Plays bf3 at ultras setting and stay very cool . the card be a beast +215 GraphicsCard POS 5 Videocard and Box Accessories : - support 4k resolution display -lrb- 4096 x 2160 through fast hdmus -rrb- or 4096 x 2160 -lrb- displayport -rrb- . the card ship with a fast hdmus cable , which mean it be ready for 4k display out of the box . - 1x minidisplay Port to Display-Port adapter -lrb- if you need to connect it to a Display Port LCD\/LED screen -rrb- - 1x hdmi-to-dvi adapter - 1x active MiniDisplay Port to DVI adapter -lrb- $ 30 value -rrb- -- this be require to drive 3 screen -lrb- 1920x1080p -rrb- in eyefinity out of the box . almost none of the other hd7970 ship with a active dp adapter . - 1x dvi-to-vga adapter - 1x crossfire connector - 1x 8-pin and 1x 6-pin power adapter - so this card will work even with older power supplies still use 2x6-pin PCI Express Connectors - videocard support dx11 .1 , which introduce target independent rasterization -lrb- tir -rrb- . this be suppose to accelerate 2d graphic desktop speed in Windows 8 -lrb- Google `` Microsoft detail Windows 8 's improve graphic performance '' - the card take up 2.5 slot as the cool shroud slightly protrude beyond 2 slot - length : 270mm for the PCB , ~ 286mm with the plastic fan shroud -lrb- 11.26 '' -rrb- Performance and temperature : - the card come factory clock at 950mhz bio 1 and 1000mhz bio 2 , with memory at 5700\/5800mhz , respectively . - my card have a asic of 71 % , with a stock voltage of 1.174 v - overclock on stock voltage to 1150mhz , VRM temperature in hwinfo64 never exceed 100 \* c at these setting - at 1150mhz @ 1.174 v , the GPU temperature hover between 71-76 \* c with fan speed vary from 51-63 % , respectively . at these level it be still very quiet for a high-end GPU . if you have a modern case with 2x120mm intake fan and say a 1x 230mm top exhaust fan , the heat be dump into you case should not be much of a issue . for smaller case with poor airflow , I would suggest a card with a blower fan design -lrb- although those be generally much louder -rrb- - this card be make on reference AMD PCB , which mean full voltage control for the GPU use CHIL voltage regulator -lrb- allow up to 1.300 v for the GPU and 1.65 v for the memory -rrb- - the Sapphire Dual-X have upgrade power circuitry from the reference card with a 5 +2 vrm setup vs. 5 +1 for a reference card . the -lrb- +2 -rrb- be allocate to memory , which be why these specific model have some of the highest memory overclock out of all the 7970 card on the market . - I be able to overclock the memory to 1800mhz on stock memory voltage of 1.6 v -lrb- default -rrb- - the memory cooling heatsink and vrm cooling make this one of the coolest run 7970s - at around 1150mhz gpu\/1800mhz memory , this card be as fast as a 1280-1290mhz gtx680 at 1080p and noticeably faster at 2560x1440\/1600 , but cost less - 3gb of VRAM be a bonus for mod -lrb- upcome GTA V , SKYRIM -rrb- - faster than gtx680 with msaa+m ax setting in Anno 2070 , Bulletstorm , Batman Arkham City , Serious Sam 3 , Witcher 2 , Crysis 2 , SKYRIM , Dirt 3 with latest Catalyst 12.7 beta driver - absolutely unbeatable performance for a single-gpu card in Crysis 1 , Crysis Warhead , Metro 2033 , Dirt Showdown , Alan Wake , Arma II \/ dayz mod -lrb- 2560x1600 4aa = hd7970 1050mhz 60 fp vs. 42 fp for gtx680 ! -rrb- driver : - use Catalyst 12.7 beta . no bsod , coil whine , or driver issue \/ come out of sleep problem to report . these may have exist in prior version when the card be first release in January GPU compute - at 1150mhz GPU , almost 400,000 boinc point in milkyway@home, up from 235,000 point on hd6970 . - 680 mhash\/sec in Bitcoin mining ~ 10-11 bitcoin a month -lrb- free $ $ $ on the side when not gaming -rrb- - winzip 16.5 compression\/decompression acceleration with opencl extension increase performance almost 2x over a $ 1000 Core i7-3960X . - single-precision performance of 4.71 tflop -lrb- 1150mhz gpu -rrb- vs. Nvidia 's K10 Tesla card that get 4.58 tflop -lrb- use 2x gk104 gpus -rrb- .

I replace a nVidia 6200 AGP card with this ati-based Sapphire card . what a difference . the winxp driver from Sapphire 's website run well on this 3 ghz Pentium 4HT system -lrb- I skip the driver on the cd-rom that come with the card -rrb- . no conflict , no problem . I would upgrade the power supply in the computer when the old one start fail earlier in the year , and the pci-e six pin cable fit the card perfectly -lrb- there be a 2x4 Molex adapter if you do not have the pci-e cable on you power supply -rrb- . I switch over the AGP interface to 256 bit in bio , and the graphic be crank along . I can actually get decent framerate on Team Fortress 2 and half life 2 -lrb- run via steam -rrb- with mixed setting . it be a lot faster for general work 2d graphic , too . screen do not lag when scroll quickly , etc. . so far , a great card . +342 GraphicsCard POS 5 you be not go to find a better deal to get dual monitor run on you system . use it in a office environment , so we never really tax the graphic card itself as far as performance ... really we just need the cheapest card that would give we dual output but from a brand we could trust ... you can not go wrong with evga . +680 GraphicsCard POS 5 run cool during net surfing , temp be high 30 's to low 40 .

I run this primary for flight sim x and xplane and do the job w\/o any problem . you can not not OC , but frankly you do not really need to . the trixx feature from Sapphire allow you to run core significantly faster than you would need . if this card be match properly with i7 processor , motherboard , and a good high resolution monitor , this card be a dream . its also stable . +256 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be part of my first home-built desktop , and I could not be more happy . it play whatever I throw at it , at max setting -lrb- especially with the 6970 bio enable . -rrb- even the notoriously horribly optimize GTA iv only dip below 40fp after about 2 hour of gaming . it do not come with a crossfire cable , but last I check , it did have a crossfire port , so I 'll probably just buy a second one instead of buy a new card if I ever need a upgrade . the ONLY bad thing about it be that the one I get have a faulty hdmus port . but I be so intent on play game that I buy a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter instead of send it in for replacement -lrb- if this happen to you , make sure you get a adapter that explicitly state that be support audio , like this one : Cable matter Gold Plated Premium Displayport to HDMI Male to female Cable Adapter +124 GraphicsCard POS 4 I be kind of tear because I know this can be a good card , if you get lucky enough to get one that do not crash . like other people , my card crash the Heaven benchmark on stock setting .

I buy these specifically because my beyer 's can not be drive by my computer , and I get sick of have to move my headphone amp between device -lrb- between Ipod , computer , etc -rrb- . the Bad : a all plastic frame make I think that one good drop might be the end of these headphone . the ear piece be attach to a swivel joint -lrb- for comfort , which do help -rrb- but the joint be plastic as well , so it be not hard to imagine it pop off . I may just be worry too much though , because I have a pair of all purpose koss headphone that be entirely plastic , and they have last atleast 10 year -lrb- though they sound terrible in comparison -rrb- I say these be the second most comfortable headphone I have ever worn , and while that be true , there be one caveat ; even though they be comfortable , my ear be too large for the space provide -lrb- the velour sit around the ear , with you ear inside -rrb- so my ear press against the outside of the ear pad . not a huge deal , and not nearly as severe as with other headphone , but still a issue if you have big ear . the biggest complaint I have be probably how much sound leak in and out . I realize that these be open headphone , but even at low volume , everything you be play be easily hear by anyone in the same room -lrb- so these be not good for dorm room , plane , train , etc -rrb- . I be expect that , but I be not quite expect how much sound be let in . my dt880 's be also open , but they do not let nearly as much sound in or out as these Sennheiser can . the sound of my computer fan be easily hear through the headphone if I do not up the volume a little louder than would otherwise be necessary -lrb- mean other will hear it even more -rrb- . there be also a lack of bass with these can . other have say it be balanced , but I would almost go so far as to say it be a little bit diffused . use equalization though , this problem be quickly fix -lrb- if you see it as a problem -rrb- . one last con ; these headphone come with a large -lrb- 1\/8th inch I believe -rrb- plug , with a very rigid 1\/4th adaptor -lrb- the plug on you computer , compare to the plug on you stereo -rrb- . this do not seem like a huge deal , but this type of adaptor be very prone to snap and damage you headphone cord . I would suggest spend a extra 5 or so dollar and get a flexible adaptor . as with all headphone in the quasi-audiophile range -lrb- audiophile will tell you that these can be not neutral enough to be audiophile quality . they be close enough at 100 dollar though -rrb- you first need to evaluate you own hearing before you spend any amount of money . I have friend that can not tell the difference between my 300 dollar beyerdynamic headphone , and my old 30 dollar Koss headphone . if you do not have really sensitive ear , you be better off buy the cheaper sennheiser and save yourself some money -lrb- the 202 's , the 212 's , etc -rrb- . I would suggest go to a local audio store and try these headphone side by side with a much cheaper pair , and see if you truly can tell the difference between the two -lrb- and then come back to buy from Amazon , of course -rrb- . also , if you do not buy a whole lot of CD 's , and most of you music be compress mp3 's you buy off the net , or song from youtube\/myspace\/whatever , these headphone will not help you and they may actually make that type of music sound worse because they will expose flaw in the recording that you would not have be able to hear otherwise . in conclusion , these be the best headphone you can buy at 100 dollar , and unless you need complete isolation -lrb- if you do , I suggest the hd-280 's for the same price -rrb- , or you really love bass , or you have really big ear , these headphone be exactly what you be look for . update 03\/10\/10 : after two year of use , I have get a few addition to make . the headband have develop a crack at both ear cup . I baby my equipment , so it be definitely a design flaw and not misuse on my part . I have notice that this have happen to other as well , and it really be a shame . it do not degrade the sound quality , but I fear that the crack may expand and eventually cause the earcup to come free from the headband -lrb- essentially make the headphone useless -rrb- . as far as sound quality go , now that these be burn in -lrb- I would say I be somewhere comfortably between 500 and 1000 hour on the phone -rrb- they sound much better than they do when I first receive they . I modify they -lrb- when I pass the warranty date -rrb- to increase they bass response , and they be now basically convert into hd595 's . they sound great , although they be still obviously no match for the hd600 's or hd650 's , which be 3-4x the price -lrb- much much more when you consider that you 'll need a expensive amp to drive they -rrb- . I would still recommend these headphone despite the crack issue , and for 100 dollar , I do not think that you can find a better set of -lrb- open -rrb- can . +848 Headphone NEU 3 I really like these for watch my tv . I do not use they too much for music though . distortion and signal interference be a little too distracting . +276 Headphone POS 5 they be similar to the over-the-ear headphone that bose previously produce . they be basically a newer , better version . as always , the sound quality be excellent , crisp , and the bass be more than sufficient . comfort be one of the best feature as always . they be lightweight , flexible , with the memory-foam like cushion . absolutely incredible . would highly recommend . bose never fail to impress . +776 Headphone NEG 2 I want to write a review for people to know what they be get when buy these earphone . there be no actual speaker that produce sound . it be vibration . yes they vibrate you ear , and that be what you experience . you ear shake and tickle . it take more power to operate vibrator than speaker , they be not loud at all . you be not hear music , but feel the music . in my opinion this be more of a toy then a useful device . I listen to Pineapple Rumble K Bone Conduction Headphone for about two minute and I could not take the vibrate any more . I be go to keep they just so I can show to anyone who want to see the weirdest earphone in the world . and no way they could be worth the msrp . Mabe $ 5.00 at most . +202 Headphone NEG 2 I buy these headphone about 4 month ago and the first few time I use they they be great . admittedly they do hurt my ear on my first run , but I put soft foam cover on they from another set of headphone -lrb- these don ; t come with they -rrb- the next time and they be fine . so I continue use they for the next few month and then start have a problem with the sound get scratchy and cut in and out . I have a case on my phone , so I take that off , and that seem to help for a while . not long after that the sound cut out completely on the right side , i make sure there be no kink any where , and there be not , so this be irritating , but I let it go hope that the next time I use they they would be ok ; they be not . on my next run , I get about half way through and the sound cut completely out on both side . it be really scratchy for half the run and be cut in and out , and finally they cut completely out . I be sorry but headphone should not die that fast . in my opinion these be terrible and I would not recommend they to anyone . just today I be buy the Panasonic rp-hs33-g in-ear water-resistant sport-clip Earbud Headphones , so hopefully these will be better quality ! +555 Headphone POS 5 I be great fan of bose . I try Dr. Dre as well . I buy and return bose some time back . it be very uncomfortable and the sound be distort . Dr. Dre be design for only one kind of music , it can not play classical . there a 50 % off offer for Dr. Dre . I almost buy it . for some reason I go thru the review . when some one suggest these can . do some more research and i know instantly new i want these headphone . I be in India on vacation . somehow i need these can . could not wait . order they and make arrangement to bring it to India . for reason beyond my grasp these be not available here . I be not disappoint at all . it do justification to all kind of music . though the Bass be little low . may be that be from my experience from previous headphone . as I play it more and more they sound even better . I recommend this one for any music lover who like to listen unmodified music . do not fall for enhance bass headphone . +787 Headphone POS 5 buy this amp recently to drive some high-end headphone while use my ipod . I have to say that I be really impressed . this little amp easily power my akg 702 's , which be massive phone , and my bose over the ear phone as well . for my taste , use only the first bass setting be perfect , and the sound I get from the ipod be unbelievable . with a good set of phone , this little amp work very well . the fullness and clarity of sound be better than I expect , by a long shot . the amp strap easily to the ipod , with a silicon band , which be provide . I do have to buy the ipod patch cable to connect properly , but all in all , this be a great investment . I have only own this product a couple week , but , the listen enjoyment I have already have certainly justify the price , and then some . I do have the opportunity to try one belong to a friend , but as soon as I do , I immediately get on line and order my own . if you want some very nice portable sound , this unit , at this price be hard to beat I should also mention that this amp charge easily by usb , and hold a charge for a very long time . in two week , I have charge it once , but do not really need to , and just want a full charge . I highly recommend this product . +882 Headphone NEG 2 I be one of those people who can not wear earbud . my left ear opening be apparently too big to hold one in , and my right ear barely get by . I buy these hope I could wear they while jogging . however , the hook over the ear be too loose , and gravity be not enough to hold they on , and I swear I do not have a bouncy stride . I can wear they around the house , but that be it . +418 Headphone NEG 1 the connect point where the hook go into the headphone be loose , so they do not stay in place very well . the sound quality be ok , but because it wont clamp onto the ear well enough I lose a lot of sound definition which make it sound pretty crappy overall . my primary problem with headphone be the cord that connect to the mp3 player stop work because it rip at the base of the plug . I buy these about 3 month ago and the where the cord connect to the metal plug have completely come undo . I think it may be because I wrap my headphone around my mp3 player before I put it in my pocket . but nonetheless , this cord do not last near as long as some of the cheaper headphone I have purchase . +830 Headphone POS 5 this product be of the finest quality . I love it . I order another pair for my wife . I highly recommend it to anyone . +204 Headphone NEG 2 well like a lot of the other folk who have post , this be a really great service . I be surprised there be not more product on the market like this . the manufacturing and design of the headphone however be severely lack . after only have this product for 5 month , the back of the headphone have crack . I just get off the phone with the customer service folk and as long as you have the receipt they be refund money and not replace they at all . I think there be too many fundamental flaw with the design . +558 Headphone POS 4 I buy Noise Canceling Headphone to use at my work to avoid distraction . I be overall satisfied with my purchase . sometimes I find this headphone be little heavy because this require a battery . Voice quality be pretty good . +69 Headphone POS 4 I find that these earbud sound very good . the cord be a little of a problem keep untangled . but I think you have that problem with most earbud . otherwise they be very comfortable . just hope they be durable because I do not have they very long yet . but I use they every single day . +722 Headphone POS 5 I be look for headphone that would stay put while I be run and after a lot of research I find these . I love they as soon as I put they in -- I have smaller ear so the various size be ideal . they absolutely stay put when I go run , no matter how much I sweat . I put they in and do not have to think about my headphone again until I take they out . +593 Headphone POS 5 I just order these from Amazon and receive they yesterday , they work great . battery take about the estimate time to charge , 16 hour . I hook they up to my tv and be able to listen from in front and off to each side a bit , even with the transmitter slightly obstruct by a speaker stand +813 Headphone POS 4 if you be a fan of heavy bass , and a sound that blow you away , these be not the headphone for you . however , the sound be crisp and clear and mellow . you can hear part of song that you have never hear before . that say , the crispness be only too clear to listen to mp3 and other low-quality music source . the headphone bring out they imperfection , as lower quality headohone would disguise they in the mush of they sound . these headphone be great deal at 20 buck for those who do not want to be blow away by a wall of sound and rather appreciate the finer element of any genre of music . +325 Headphone POS 5 great sound , comfortable though they pinch my ear a bit after more than a hour . +984 Headphone POS 5 these be work fine for I . I can not believe how great the sound be . as to the bass , I just put these to the `` bass '' test . one of the most demand track , in my experience , be the song `` one '' by Metallica . you know that part just before Lars ' double bass kick in ? well , there be very few speaker that can handle that , especially with the volume and the low end bass turn up . I may have hear one pair of speaker in my life that could handle that part of the song without distortion , and those be 100 watt 3-way speaker with 15 '' woofer . well , I just listen to that part on these headphone with the volume up about as loud as I could stand , and with the low end of the equalizer turn up almost all the way , and guess what ? no distortion !? I still can not believe it , but I just hear it with my own ear . these thing really do go `` inside '' you ear ! in fact , I would say to be careful that you do not shove they in there too far , or too fast . and be careful pull they back out . you have only get 2 eardrum , so do not be reckless with they . to the person who complain about `` too much bass '' distort the audio , do not you mp3 player have some sort of equalizer ? I would think that almost any mp3 player would have at least a 5-band equalizer ? -lrb- as far as I be concerned , any mp3 player should have a 10-band equalizer , but I guess we can not have everything . -rrb- one complaint : there be no volume control build into the wire . I have buy much lesser headphone that do have that feature , and it be a shame that they do not include that feature on these , but , oh well . I see they be on sale now for $ 3 . oo !? wow , now that be amazing ! I think I be get a amazing bargain because I only pay $ 7 . oo for they ! +109 Headphone NEU 3 I try use these headphone after see they have good review at CNet . I agree that the sound be great , I just could not seem to get they to stay in my ear . I try change the bud size but to no avail , they keep fall out during workout . also , I keep feel like I have a vacuum lock in one ear and it affect the sound . this could be a isolate issue for I . I return they . Wish they would have fit better . +634 Headphone NEU 3 I wish the cord length be less . it be loooonnnng . I also wish it have better bass . for the price I recommend it 100 % . very comfortable . +573 Headphone NEG 2 I return these headphone because they be uncomfortable to wear for even a short period of time . I buy another pair of Koss UR-40 , because my first set be accidently break . I be go to try another brand have hear Sennheiser be a good name , but be not happy with the fit over the ear or how tight they be on my head . +183 Headphone POS 5 I buy these headphone just yesterday , have be use they for Multiplayer gaming and music on my pc . the quality of sound be outstanding , highly recommend these . the price leave a bit of a hole in you pocket though ! +552 Headphone NEU 3 I be more than a little disturbed that the ur-20 and R-80 Koss headphone appear to link to the same 90 review ... +716 Headphone NEG 1 I use this item one time , i go to grab they today and plug they in to use for the 2nd time and the right side do not put out any sound ... after the 1st use they work fine , and be keep in a plastic container , for future use . . now when i want to use they , they be broken and junk !!!!!! +557 Headphone POS 4 I have age related hearing loss necessitate turn on the closed captioning when watch tv or dvd . these phone fix that problem for I . and , my dog appreciate not have the tv or the home theater speaker blare . one negative : I have normal size ear yet I have to cram they inside the small ear cup . that get uncomfortable after awhile although not as uncomfortable for I as the type that rest on the ear . overall I be delighted with they if only because I no longer require distract closed captioning . +385 Headphone POS 4 pro : - good noise isolation . I find this best when work out at LA Fitness . this be where you appreciate not have to turn up the volume . - excellent in-line control with mic , better than Apple 's OEM in-ear headphone . Playback control do work for -lrb- middle button -rrb- pause , play , rewind , previous , forward , and volume up\/down -lrb- upper and lower button -rrb- . very tactile button but the play\/pause be a little bit depressed .

Mic have very good voice quality for incoming and outgoing call , also better than Apple 's . - choice of three set of earplug to fit ear . the smallest pair fit my ear the most and the fit feel natural . con : - too much base , contribute to that be the nice fit to the point that you can not distinguish subtle arrangement in the music . I wish they balance the base with the vocal and other instrument to achieve clarity . - cheaply make : cheap plastic , cheap construction , in fact one of the earplug be now lose and I could not get a decent pair . I find similarly size earbud that fit the Sennheiser , but they do not replicate the original . I have this and Klipsch s5us and Sony dr-ex61ip . I like the Klipsch overall for balance in arrangement -- the base do not submerge everything , and the big inline control be a home run for I . the Sennheiser win in noise isolation -- I carry it on board airline cabin and they work really nice without have to up the volume but the tiny control make you guess all the time . +19 Headphone POS 5 these headphone be perfect . they fit in my ear , block out other sound in the room and they stay in place when I turn my head . -lrb- my other ear bud keep fall out . -rrb- and the sound be excellent . I can hear every instrument and every word ; so clearly that I now realize some lyric I be sing incorrectly all these year . would definitely recommend these to friend . +887 Headphone NEU 3 I buy this item for my son for Christmas and within a few week one side stop work so I return and get another pair . well about two week after that they crack and the wire start come out . these headphone be too delicate for teens ! what a waste of my hard earn money ! back to ear bud ! ughhhhhhh ! +694 Headphone NEG 1 when you turn on the noise cancel feature you can hear a very low rumble sound . I try these on a airplane and several other white noise environment , like fan blow . when compare these to regular headphone , there be no difference at all . a coworker let I try he bose noise cancel headset and that do make a noticeable difference . the noise cancel feature of these philip headphone appear to be worthless . the comfort and quality of these as just regular headphone be ok , but why would you buy these unless you want the noise cancel feature ? +958 Headphone NEG 1 I purchase these headphone because they be recommend for people with small ear . I must say that these headphone do not fall off\/out of you ear . I run several 20 mile run without they ever fall out of place . the problem be that the headphone stop work after 3 week of use . the problem seem to be with the wire ; if the wire move at all -lrb- even the slightest bit -rrb- , the volume in one earphone go in and out , make it unbearable to run with they . this problem happen 3.5 mile into a 21 mile trail run , so obviously I be more than a little frustrated with the product . I have try several other pair of headphone to ensure that the problem be not my mp3 player , and the other pair work fine . in summary , the fit be perfect , the quality of construction \/ durability be terrible . +458 Headphone POS 5 this be my second set of headphones\/charger . this one be superior to my Sony . Range be better . sound quality be better . headphone set on charger more conveniently . +698 Headphone POS 5 the noise cancellation feature be quite impressive . I be make myself deaf from use in-ear headphone with my iPhone to drown out the noise in a moderately loud office . with the nc300b I can lower the overall volume to safe level , and I can listen to something other than punk or hard rock and it still block the chatter . good quality headphone at a good price . I pay roughly $ 100 . +142 Headphone POS 5 I also own a pair of the sr60us headphone , which be just a step below in quality and price , so I be already a fan of Grado before I buy these . I want to try other type of headphone that might offer some measure of sound isolation -lrb- the Grados famously have a `` open '' design , so in term of isolation , listen to they be akin to have a boombox tape to you head -rrb- . to this end , I try various in-ear headphone and some closed over-ear one . long story short , nothing in the -lrb- $ 200 range come even close to sound as fun as my sr60i . the only logical place to go be higher on the Grado spectrum , and so I try the sr80i . since I be not a audiophile , I 'll try to do my best to describe they sound in mostly imprecise term . First of all , both the sr60us and the sr80us be literally revelatory - they show up new detail in familiar recording that the speaker and earbud I be use before I find the Grados be too stodgy to handle . they render all part of the frequency spectrum with aplomb . the deep subbass on Shackleton 's fabric 55 recording sound incredibly tight and controlled . Electric guitar , which reside mostly in the midrange , sound particularly embody , with a fully realize attack , something I sorely miss in more expensive headphone like the monster turbine . the cymbal on Miles Davis ' ` bitch brew ' be smooth , not harsh . most importantly , these headphone be just fun to listen to . they bring everything , even album I have grow tired of , alive . and they do this consistently , perhaps because Grado 's emphasis seem to be on musicality and not just by-the-numbers fidelity . there be two definite minus , both of which be flip side to the same design decision that give rise to they amazing sound , namely the fact that they be open -lrb- the earpiece chamber have large grilled vent -rrb- . forget about listen to these on plane , since they do not block any outside sound . also , they basically broadcast what you be listen to , and hence be unsuitable for office or library . many have complain that they be uncomfortable - my girlfriend find that the earpad hurt she ear after a hour of listen - but I find they eminently comfortable and can wear they indefinitely without problem , so that may be a matter of individual head shape or ear size . be the sr80us worth the $ 20 premium over the sr60us ? they look identical in all respects and appear to have the same specification and outward construction , so it come down to the sound . my sr80us be tighter , more controlled and at the same time , deeper , when it come to bass reproduction in comparison to my sr60us . Make no mistake , the sr60us be no slouch and never allow the bass to boom and overwhelm other part of the spectrum , but it just feel slightly looser and more elastic . the difference be subtle , but definite , and over long period of listen , I believe the sr80us will justify the extra expense . lastly , I should reiterate one negative that many people have mention . if you be not one of those people who tend to buy expensive audio equipment , get a pair of these might , by open you up to a world of gorgeous sound , lead to a rather expensive hobby . +994 Headphone POS 5 I buy these for my husband to replace another pair of Koss . he really like these and they collapse for easy transportation . he do alot with he station at home but like to have they with he in the car as well . he be a amatuer radio guy ! +847 Headphone POS 5 I have be have problem hear the dialogue on tv show and movie for some time . with these headphone I be not distract by the background noise or music . I can hear the voice clearly and do not have to ask my wife , '' what do they say ? '' it be a marriage saver ! ! ! +57 Headphone NEU 3 the Vmoda earbud make for decent in-ear phone at a reasonable price , but compare to similarly price headphone , the bass be loose and overpower much of the mid and high . otherwise , they be attractive , seem to be reasonably well build and the cable do not have excessive microphonic like some other set . mostly the audio quality be sub-par , even in this range of headphone . +403 Headphone NEG 1 title say it all . they last a month and , as other user have notice , they make noise whenever you move . every step I take could be hear through the headphone . WOULD NOT RECOMMEND . +782 Headphone POS 4 good pair of headphone . sound good with lot of bass . they also be loud . comfortable ear piece fit right in and dont hurt you ear if leave in a long time . recommend this product . +298 Headphone POS 4 overall , the quality of these earbud be very good . they seem very sturdy and the build quality be great . the bud themselves look rather plain to I , but the remote look pretty good . the issue of a noisy cord be something that will happen to most earbud out there , so nothing unexpected there . -lrb- use the clip help a lot . -rrb- the 45 degree angle of the plug be a nice feature and the remote work well with my ipod touch 4g . the package I get come with ear-hook that seem to work well , a nice v-moda brand pouch , and a four different size of tip that should work for most people out there . the earbud fit my rather large ear canal snugly and overall be comfortable . in term of the sound quality , these will definitely beat the quality of the basic white ipod earbud as well as most basic earbud . the bass be heavy , and boom . personally , I feel it overwhelm , but some people prefer that . -lrb- I 'll definitely be use these while listen to some dubstep though ; -rrb- . -rrb- however , -lrb- it could be the powerful bass , but -rrb- I feel as if the treble be only alright . the high just be not as clear as they could be and seem a bit muddle to I . I be compare these to the first generation of lady Gaga Heartbeats In-Ear Headphones -lrb- Rose Red -rrb- -lrb- the remix do beat the Heartbeats in overall bass power , but , again , I personally prefer the bass not to overwhelm too much . -rrb- to summarize , pro - great build quality and durability - remote work nicely -45 degree plug be nice - Bass be powerful con - Treble be only average +187 Headphone POS 5 I have buy at least three set of these and really like they . I be very fussy and have look at lot of ear bud , but keep come back to the Sennheisers . the sound quality be excellent , with plenty of volume . the bud be very comfortable . the cord be the perfect length for I -lrb- approx 3 ft -rrb- . the volume control on the cord be very handy . I particularly like the case . I have a pair of Sony earbud whose cord become a tangled mess in no time . the sennheiser come with a ingenious compact plastic case that reel in the cord quickly and easily . here be the spec from the package : Freq . Resp . 18 - 22k hz , Imped . 32 ohm , Max SPL 119bd -lrb- @ 1 khz 0.5 vrm -rrb- . +111 Headphone POS 4 the price be great for I on these kind of headphone since I do not really want amazing sound like the one that cost 3-6x more . I have some trouble get they on , but that be because I never have one of these before and have no idea how you put they on , but after fiddle with they for 10 min I have they on . I plug they onto my zen m and pick a song with some bass in it . I take a pair of marshmallow headphone and ep-630 and compare they . the sound quality on these be not great like those , but definitely better than the one that come with you ipod or mp3 player . these of course do not fall off when you running , jogging , or move around . the ear size might be a slight problem for smaller ear people , but it should fit , but not as quite a firm\/perfect fit . comfort level be okay , you could feel they of course which I do not particularly like , but I do not think you can buy something like these without feel they on you ear , lol . these rest right outside you ear canal and the volume be alright . you can crank it up real loud or soft if you want . overall , these be great earphone if you look for a kind like these . they have ok sound quality for a cheap price , pretty comfy , and of course do not slip off . +687 Headphone NEG 2 you would imagine this one should be better than the original one , but in fact , the noise cancellation be so poor my wife instantly decide to return it . bose qc 15 be more expensive , but it do a much better job cancel the noise . +103 Headphone POS 4 this thing be really great except that it do not fit my head . because of that , it fall off a lot and drop onto the floor so now it be start to have problem play ! the earpiece be flat in addition to the width between they be rather large . if it be only to fit better I wold be totally satisfy . this be so much bigger on my head than other headphone I have a hard time believe I be the only one with this problem . on the other hand , I do ride a motorcycle and my helmet be a extra small Arai , so you be the judge . I be go to have to buy new headphone because these be clearly go to stop play soon , even though I just buy they about a month and a half ago . if these fit you you will love they . I wish they would make they for smaller people ! +737 Headphone POS 4 these work well . for the amount I pay for they -lrb- $ 5 -rrb- I would definitely recommend they . +501 Headphone NEG 2 sound be bad , high break , hollow mid and nonexistent low . fit be ok , I do have to adjust they while I run . I do not recommend they . +188 Headphone POS 5 my experience with noise reduce earphone be with the JVC hanc100 , which be a earlier , and fairly satisfactory headphone . I have be satisfy with it for about a year . this , the JVC hanc80 noise cancel headphone , be even better ! the sound rendition be superb . and this model have two mode of noise reduction : low frequency , and a wider range for more typical noisy environment , e.g. office , library , shopping , home -lrb- when relative visit -rrb- , auto travel , bus , aircraft , well , you get the picture ... I like the wide range . at home with airconditioner , fan , neigborhood sound , jet above , radio blare , dog bark etc , the effect be comforting . add some music from you ipod or radio earphone outlet and you find yourself in a -lrb- quiet -rrb- heaven , listen to a high quality of sound reproduction . I be impress with the sound quality , and I have use earphone of various type for many year . one must understand that these , or any , noise-reduction earphone be exactly that : they be not noise-cancelling ! silicone earplug be the best you can do in that regard . best noise reduction be in the very low frequency -lrb- make my Boston MBTA subway excursion bearable -rrb- . the excellent sound quality be icing on the cake . get real ! this be not star Trek , merely the 21st century . you do not need to spend $ 350 for that high price brand ! this be a excellent product . recommend . also look at the JVC harx300 non-noisecancelling phone . they go over the ear , be very reasonably price , have fantastic sound . not design to be easily transport -lrb- do not fold -rrb- . I love they - have three , in each place in my home where I like to listen to music or tv . JVC Full-Size Headphones -lrb- Black -rrb- +261 Headphone POS 5 when i see the price i couldnt beleive it . . but when i finnaly give in and buy they , i realize how awesome these thing be , they cut out all other noise , feel great on you ear , plus the design be amazing . +611 Headphone NEG 1 the headphone stop work after my 3rd or 4th run . I shorten the wire and use only the top half . I find that I really like the short cord and do not worry about the broken bottom half of the cord . I suffer a personal set back and be not able to exercise or use the headphone for several month . I recently start use the headphone again and after another 4 run , they be indeed break . I try they on other music player and still get nothing . I contact the seller and they say I be out of the 3 month warrenty . I be hope they could\/would be willing to fix or exchange my headphone . -lrb- not really one to spend this much money on headphone -rrb- . they do not even entertain any notion of compensation . how come the consumer can not have a policy ? my policy be a set of headphone should last longer than 10 use or 6 month . I live in a dream world I guess . +82 Headphone NEU 3 I order this hope it would block out the sound of my husband snore , it do not . the fit be tight . I like the 10 ft. cable . very convenient . when I can I be go to spring for those expensive noise suppress headphone , but for now , the sound quality be good for tv watch . I have yet to use these for music . they be a snug fit after 4 hour my ear hurt . for the price they be worth it . +184 Headphone POS 4 I be happy with my hd-280 's . they sound good and they block out the noise . the headphone be comfortable , however the headphone padding do not breath so I sweat when I wear they for a long time . the head-phone be on the heavy side . the sound quality be very good , but not exceptional . I find that the bass can be a little thin . they will block out noise as well as any padded noise block ear muff . they may block out almost as much noise as active noise cancel headphone . active noise cancel headphone be very good at block out background humm and drone , but not so great at block out conversation . because the hd-280 's be passive , they be good at the latter . +48 Headphone POS 5 these be order for a 17 year old who be work on mix music . he research every item on the market and come to the conclusion this be the best pair for he need . he think these be the greatest and work wonderful in what he be do . +583 Headphone POS 4 the headphone be wonderful ! they be for my husband and he love they . the sound quality be great . the loud tv bother I no more . even my very hard of hear 83 year old mother-in-law love they - she could hear everything on the tv . +104 Headphone POS 5 Got these headphone a week ago . the sound be very clear , I can hear all the detail . they fit very comfortably and they do not hurt my ear at all even after long usage . hear the song like they be mean to be hear . the bass be a good level , especially for the price , but it be not super heavy if you be a bass head you might want to get something a little more bass intense . I wish it be a little more intense but these head phone be great and produce great quality sound . the extra bass I be use to be overkill from my subwoofer , so if you be look for great quality headphone for a great price these be they . if you be a bass maniac you might want to get something heavier , but for the average listener these be great , and they do have good bass its appropriate , not overwhelming - which some people look for . +909 Headphone NEG 1 Sennheiser use to make excellent product . they `` improve '' they line of wireless rf headphone so that now it be very difficult to use and produce poor sound quality -- and , as a bonus , fail to work at all more often than not . because I be very busy , I keep the product too long to return . I would be please if Amazon would let I return it for a refund -- and maybe even help I find one of Sennheiser 's old , excellent product . +376 Headphone POS 5 Great for the money . they sound decent for non ear bud phone on a mp3 player but backgrond sound be not as efficintly block . but if you like I and can not use ear bud this be a great alternative +162 Headphone POS 5 i 'll get straight and to the point . sansa clip + 2gb with a 32gb minus sd pair with a Sennheiser MX 581 and a fiio e6 and you get a match make in heaven . if you be a audiophile like I and care about the sound of the music you listen to then this be a must have addition to you ipod or sansa . i go for the e6 first as a experiment to see what i can expect from this brand of headphone amp and be impressed . next purchase will be a e11 for my ipod classic and a Audio-Technica ath-m50 . from what i experience from my e6 i know the e11 's with the ipod wont disappoint . again , if you get a sansa clip get the e6 if you get a ipod get the e11 . +824 Headphone POS 5 let 's just say that when I leave these headphone in my motorcycle and could not get to they for a week , I experience withdrawal . these thing be great , I love the long cord , the sound quality be excellent and the fit be very comfortable . Blocks out environmental noise very well . great value for the money , and what be special about this model be how nice it sound at middle-high volume level . clean , crisp , beautiful sound : -rrb- +809 Headphone NEG 1 I will update\/edit this review when I actually get a chance to test the product , but my first response be this : I be bum that they do not come with a case . I spend a long time do side-by-side comparison of a bunch of earphone include Denon , Sennheiser , Klipsch , Skullcandy and JLabs . I end up settle on the j3 because of the review and the case -lrb- sorry , but I need one and it be include -rrb- . at the last minute , I decide to upgrade to the j3m with the microphone . in a flurry of comparison , my head be spin and I do not realize I be sacrifice the case for the microphone . I assume that the microphone be what I be pay extra for , and that everything with the j3 would be include with the j3m . but , you know what they say about people who assume ... I 'll edit this review once I get a chance to burn they in and put they through they pace . but they be start out behind the eight ball ... UPDATE : I have have these play all day , not the full burn-in time require , so I will give they the benefit of that for now . however , as I be listen , I have put it through it be pace . Miles Davis , the Head and the Heart , Apocalyptica , and Alexi Murdoch among other . probably more acoustic than anything else , though -lrb- which be my genre of choice -rrb- . twice , when a great song come on that I want to rock out to -lrb- big parade by the Lumineers and 99 problem by Hugo -rrb- , I crank the volume only to cringe and immediately turn it back down again . the word that come to mind be `` muddy '' . it be as if they be try to add bass where it do not exist and then it just clog up you ear at the slightest hint of it when it be really there . so here 's my thought right now : if you think Kanye be `` rap '' and Nickleback be `` rock '' , and you be afraid of jazz because you only know Kenny G , then these be the earphone for you . the great news for you be , nothing will make you music sound better , so just get these and be happy . but if you really enjoy quality music , and want to hear it as it be intend , then keep look . you will not find they here with a $ 25 pair of sub-par earphone that distort when you turn you volume up half way . spend the extra money and be happy . I know that be what I be go to do . the sad truth be , I leave tomorrow on a business trip , so these will unfortunately have to do for now . I will give they they ample burn-in time -lrb- which will include plug they into my laptop and let they run through the burn-in sound loop on JLab 's website for the next week as I sleep -rrb- . who know , maybe a miracle will happen and they will become worth keep at the end of that . Stay tune , and I will let you know ... UPDATE -lrb- again -rrb- : okay , I have own these a month and I have to say they be the worst headphone I have ever own . the `` muddiness '' that I first write about have not go away . some song sound decent , other hurt my ear ; nothing have improve . not only that , but if you wear these while you be move -lrb- and let 's be honest , who sit dead still to listen to music ? -rrb- , the rub resonate through the wire and can drown out the music . I wear these for my commute and while I be walk I have have to run they up through my jacket to try and limit the amount of movement . whatever the coating on the wire do to try and make it difficult to tangle -lrb- difficult , not impossible -rrb- , it end up conduct the sound of the friction quite loudly . and , last but not least , the rubber cord wrap where the wire and the plug meet be already show sign of crack -- which I be sure be only a indicator of the overall build quality of these `` quality '' headphone . to top it all off , I log in today to find out how I could return these and get my money back , and it seem as if I miss my 30 day free return mark by one day . so I can either take a loss on they and get a partial return credit as well as pay to send they back , or I can count my loss , give up , and stop expel unecessary energy on money poorly spend . here 's my advice : spend another $ 20 -lrb- or more -rrb- and get something much better . you will not be sorry . and to think , all this negative energy start because a carry case be not include . I wonder if I would have think differently if it have . oh well , you only get one chance to make a first impression and it be safe to say jlab more than blow they opportunity with I ... +133 Headphone POS 5 these headphone work great and have spectacular sound . the only thing I do not really like about they be that wear these headphone for more than a couple hour get quite uncomfortable . +618 Headphone POS 4 in the store , this item would have cost I 30 % more . the ipod lanyard arrive promptly , and the sound portion appear to be work just fine . I have give it a 4 out of 5 because when I disconnect it from my ipod the metal cover on the piece that pull out sometimes separate from the innards . I have to be really careful with it , and I hope this will not effect it be longevity . +912 Headphone POS 5 lightweight , easy to use , great sound quality and stay on my head . I love these much better than ear bud , but of course , run with they be not a option . +923 Headphone POS 4 I have be buy the Sennheiser PMX 60 for a few year because they stay in place no matter what activity I be do and they sound quality while listen to talk radio . well , after use my philip headphone , I be not go back ! these headphone be much less expensive , stay in place and have superior sound quality . I use to switch to a different headphone to listen to my mp3 player but can now use my philip for both . the only thing I can not comment on be durability and from read comment by other buyer , they may not hold up . not know about durability be why I give 4 star instead of 5 . +67 Headphone NEG 1 I buy this product as a Christmas gift for my wife . it work perfectly for a couple of week and then suddenly the transmitter start work only intermittently , often not at all . I would not buy this product again or recommend it . I definitely have buyer remorse about this purchase . Grrrrr . +860 Headphone POS 5 Fiio 's e7 be a portable amp\/digital-analog converter -lrb- dac -rrb- . what that mean be that the e7 can be use as both as a portable headphone amplifier , and to replace you computer 's sound card when connect via the usb cable for better audio quality . the e7 offer solid construction and great value at its price point , which make it a must-buy over comparable product at this price range . the e7 come in a very compact box , when open , the box include the e7 itself -lrb- look akin to a tiny solid block -rrb- and a bunch of accessory . note that when first open , the e7 do not come charge ; it must be recharge use the provide usb cable for a couple minute . once the wait be over though , the little portable dac\/amp do wonder . use the provide usb cable with the e7 allow it to be use as a dac\/amp in lieu of you computer 's sound card . previously , I be use the stock sound card in my MacBook pro as the DAC , and the e7 completely elevate the sound quality to another level . immediately , I could hear detail across the board with my Sennheiser HD 555 . I hear entire instrument line that I have never hear before . the e7 even come with a build in headphone splitter , which be great to use to share my music with other . the construction be solid , although prone to scratch . I have drop my e7 carelessly many time , yet it remain function perfectly except that the surface be laden with many scratch . for easy to drive headphone like the Sennheiser HD 555 , the build in amplifier be plenty and will power the headphone to perfect listening level at 10\/60 . when use the e7 as a portable amp , use the provide line in-out cable in order to connect you mp3 player\/dap with the device . the sound quality leap be not as pronounced as I be just use the amp portion of the dac\/amp ; and that be probably the only criticism of the e7 for I . still though , a marginal change in audio quality can be observe with my portapro ; manifest in the form of greater warmth and slightly better bass\/highs clarity . the bass boost come in handy outside , where I be a far more casual than analytical listener . to conclude , the e7 be a great dac ; it be build with solid material and have future upgrade potential with the e9 . however , the e7 be by no means perfect . just buy the e7 to use as a amp be perhaps not a great idea , as I later find out when try to drive Sennheiser HD 600 with the e7 . still , the e7 's advantage lie with its price point and versatility , and I would definitely buy the product again give a chance . user with a great dac and\/or sound card would obviously want to reconsider though ; and those with higher end audiophile headphone -lrb- like the hd600\/dt880\/etc . -rrb- can buy the e7 if ampless but note that the e7 alone , without the e9 , can not drive those phone to they full potential . +219 Headphone POS 4 i be surprise to say the least . i be and always will be a avid Sennheiser fan . imo they make the best and they should always be the benchmark for the average user . -lrb- not professional studio user . . but someone who have a few $ $ to spend -rrb- so with that say - i be happy to see two option for the ear cover . while the leather be nice , i prefer the cloth sometimes . i use the leather if i be on the treadmill as its much easier to clean . the weight and balance of these be just right and seem to fit my head just fine with minor adjustment . the longest ive go wear these be only 3 hour . . but i didnt experience any ` ear cramp ' that i can with other headphone . the sound quality be superb . i do the video game test and it handle it very well ... it give a similated surround experience and offer incredible bass . very happy to have these . give em a try . +257 Headphone POS 5 this be probably one of the best sound ear bud that I have ever purchase . the high be excellent and the low be even better . the sound be crisp and do not distort when volume be turn up . highly recommend . +885 Headphone NEU 3 I think what the hell ... ! I be short , it 'll fit my head . but nope . its a real tight fit . I think most male will have a problem with the fit . sound quality be awesome -rrb- keep the bass intact . long cord umm ... not really for the average guy-olny good if you work with it . belt clip-waste of plastic . value for money for people with smaller cranium . 5 star for quality\/3 overall ! +87 Headphone NEG 2 I have be listen with Grado for many year . I currently have a pair of sr80 and sr325 headphone and be please with both , so when I see that Grado have in-ear phone they be a natural first choice for I . unfortunately the sound of the iGi set be shrill and harsh . after more than a 100 hour burn-in they be not quite so harsh but they be still shrill . -lrb- unfortunately that burn-in time take they past they returnable date . -rrb- the shrillness can be offset somewhat with the equalizer in my Cowan i9 but when plug into a portable CD player or a mini-disc player they sound worse than the cheap head set that come with the player . yes they have good `` clarity , '' definition and separation but the shrillness remind I of one of those old cheap plastic radio from the early day of transistor . the lesson be a simple one : if you be consider the Grado iGi you would do well to actually listen to they before you shell out this kind of money . most of the other review here be positive so they appeal to some ear , but certainly not to mine . +916 Headphone POS 5 very good , can not complain about anything . the bass response be specially very good . I think that for earphone below $ 80 this be the best one . +888 Headphone POS 5 these headphone be sooo good ! sound be awesome especially for the price . comfortable too . also nice that they come in many color . +622 Headphone POS 4 this be the second unit we have purchase for view tv at night without disturbing anyone . we first unit be over 6 year old and still go strong . Mother stay with we be hard of hearing and want to not bother everyone . Works wonderfuly . Wish they could make they a little more comfortable on the ear . +944 Headphone POS 4 these headphone be provide as the rental headphone for the library at my college , and I enjoy they so much I end up buy a pair . they be comfortable , and they adjust well enough to fit on my small head , and my brother 's enormous head -lrb- he be adopt , so he have bigger gene -rrb- . I be no audiophile , but I enjoy the extra full , rich sound that just do not come from my ear-bud . there be a lot fuller bass , and you can pick out the individual piece of what you be listen to more so on than on my -lrb- admittedly cheap -rrb- ear-bud . the cord be nice and long , which be a two side coin . on the one side , it get really annoying if you be walk and listen to music . however , when i be want to take care of my laundry while listen to Pandora on my laptop , i be grateful for the long cord . the cord be rubberize for anti-tangle -lrb- another two-sided coin -rrb- so while it do not get into knot , it be very springy and slightly difficult to stuff out of the way . but , I have never have it tangle on I , so there you go . one star be miss because they be not foldable in any way , so I be a bit worried that I will break they if i travel with they . but , for the price , they be fantastic headphone , and I would definitely recommend to a friend . +956 Headphone POS 5 very nice headphone . they sit lightly around you ear and provide crisp clear sound . cord be a bit too long , but do come with 1\/4 '' adapter . these dont feel like they could survive trench warfare , but then again you most likely be buy they to use while sit at a desk . for the price they be awesome and you will not regret this purchase . +270 Headphone POS 4 it be always difficult to rate headphone and speaker , because the more money you spend , in general , the better sound you get . I decide to compare the V-MODA Remix to the apple-supplied earbud , and my current earphone Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5 pro noise isolate earphone -lrb- black -rrb- well since the price be right in the middle of the 2 , you basically get what you pay for in sound quality . as have be note , the Remix be not as clear in the middle and treble . this be obvious when switch back and forth between the ue 5 pro and the Remix . however , without that comparison , one can be satisfy with the Remix , especially in comparison to Apple 's earbud -lrb- shudder -rrb- . the inline volume control work very well and be a great addition to these earphone . also , include be 5 different soft silicone fitting -lrb- a absolute must give the size range of people 's ear canal -rrb- and 2 different over-the ear holder for exercise and other activity . certainly , one can get better sound quality , but it be go to take a much larger investment . +838 Headphone NEU 3 like monster 's premium cable , one of the most striking thing about iSport in-ear headphone be durability . this waterproofed headphone exude quality from end-to-end with flat but very durable cable to earpiece themselves . this thing will last beyond most earphone . and consider how quickly I go through each earphone , durability may be a reason enough for many listener . first the fitting . this be perhaps the most crucial and often controversial aspect of in-ear headphone . despite have 4 different size clip and ear tip , none fit properly in my ear . smallest be perhaps the most comfortable , but do not provide enough seal need for deep bass . next one sound a lot better with impressive deep bass good and smooth yet detailed upper-end . unfortunately , it be much more difficult to align properly and become uncomfortable after 30 minute of listen . so in the end , I reluctantly go back to the smallest tip . the good new be that it still provide pretty good sound -lrb- minus the deep bass -rrb- and much more comfortable to wear . compare to my reference in-ear headphone , etymotic hf3 it be certainly very good for casual listening but I do not recommend it for critical listening -lrb- for that , I use closed studio set such as audio-technica ath-m50 that say , isport feel much more durable -lrb- my hf3 start fall apart after few month of use -rrb- at this point , still look brand new after 3 month of extensive and often abusive use . built-in microphone work pretty well , although it do not quite sound as full as Apple In-Ear Headphones with remote and mic the remote function work well but center play\/pause button offer less satisfying feedback and sometimes fail to register . all in all , isport be a great choice for those look for durable waterproof in-ear headphone that provide good audio quality . depend on you ear , it may actually sound pretty great . +126 Headphone POS 5 i have not get mine yet , but i have be look for a way to listen to my 42 '' hdtv , that only have digital optical audio output , for some time , to just get a decoder that do not have 5.1 capability will run $ 30 or so , and a decoder that have 5.1 capability will run $ 100 more ??? and so that only leave headphone that come with a decoder , and after read up on what available , it be not look to promising , only if you want to go top end , $ 200 + even the one around $ 150 have not get better review than this one , the hissing noise and wireless interfearenc ? and some of those decoder will not do 5.1 ?? but for $ 20 wonderful dollar you can get that $ 130 5.1 decoder !!!! just use different headphone , and like i read in another review , that take care of any crappy sound , not too many decent and affordable option for the digital optical audio only output for the new hdtv 's , that still let you use you 5.1 sound ?? glad i do not opt out for the astro a40 , or tritton ax pro , which be not true 5.1 , or turtle beach x41 , those be mostly for game console , and a little pricey , so these should do nice for just t.v. useage , +514 Headphone POS 4 my only complaint be that there be no off button . other wise it be a solid piece of equipment . and im use it for my home sound system . would by another if there be ever a need +560 Headphone NEG 2 someone give I a cheap pair of noise cancel headphone from Radio Shack , and I figure I could do better , so I buy these JVC headphone . the retractable cord be a big selling point , and I do like that feature a lot , although it be very hard to find the switch when you be ready to retract the cord . I also want smaller earphone , and several people mention these be good for smaller ear -lrb- which mine be -rrb- . I find these to be very uncomfortable . they be bigger and clunkier than the Radio Shack headset I have , and they be really tight . they really pin my outer ear down -- I could not find a way to adjust they that make they feel any better . the noise reduction feature do work pretty well . no complaint about that . I play a dvd on the plane and could hear even the softest dialogue just fine -lrb- with the volume turn all the way up -rrb- . however , they be not significantly better than my cheaper headphone in that regard . because of the discomfort and overall `` clunkiness , '' I be return these headphone . +340 Headphone NEU 3 I have purchase 2 set of these headphone in the past and sadly both break within a few month of use . they sound good , be a cheaper pair then most DJ style headphone and work very well . however , they be very `` cheaply '' construct and I find they to be way too fragile . buy with caution if you intend to use they on a regular basis or if they be vital for you business . +206 Headphone NEU 3 I have purchase this brand in the past and have be very happy with the sound and durability . I use these to listen to my mp3 player while work out and the fit be perfect . sadly , the connection from this pair to my player seem to create more static and the sound go in and out during listen . because they be so cheap , I do buy two pair and will switch to the other pair soon . hopefully , it be just a glitch in my current headphone and the other pair will function as other have in the past . +437 Headphone POS 5 I purchase a pair of the mdr-v600 about 4 year ago and have be really happy with they . they be very comfortable and I often wear they for hour at a time . I have be really happy with the quality of the sound . I have never have another pair of good studio headphone like these , but I would guess they sound as good as comparable brand and model . even after year of use I have not notice any loss of sound quality . I highly recommend these headphone . +303 Headphone POS 5 it be easy to hook up and work great , the sound and music be very clear . I didnt know what I be miss until I buy this product . +369 Headphone POS 5 this be probably the best 5 buck you 'll ever spend . certainly on headphone . I have be use a $ 10 Koss over-the-ear headphone from Walmart . this one beat it hand down . I hear sound that I have not heard\/noticed before on the Koss , my car stereo , my Altec Lansing VS2621 PC speaker , or my Harman Kardon HK395 PC speaker . I listen to all kind of music : pop , folk , piano , country , hip pop , soul ... this headphone produce wonderful sound for all of they . highly recommend as a budget headphone . +636 Headphone POS 4 this remote work as advertise , and will control volume and ipod function . I buy it to control my music as I ride on my motorcycle . the iPhone be on a handlebar mount , and this be plug into the headphone jack . it be not all that easy to operate with glove on as the button be tiny and close together , but it can be do . it seem a little flimsy for the way I use it , but for most home application , it should work great . +651 Headphone NEG 1 I have high expectation on these earbud but I be disappoint . First off , the quality of the cable be subpar as they feel cheap . secondly , the sound quality itself be horrible . I use the earbud at the gym and the sound be very low and the quality be minimal at best . then , I try they on my Galaxy Nexus and again the sound be very low even at the maximum volume level . there be no base at all either . I would not recommend these earbud for anyone . there be no bass whatsoever as well . even the cheap $ 10 skull candy earbud have better sound quality then this . +411 Headphone POS 4 purchase the Senn 's have need a replacement for 30 year old akg 's . research the brand , and although love the AKG 's , decide to take chance on Senn 's base on positive user review find . so far have not be disappoint ! for both vinyl and cd , sound quality seem well balanced . they be a little ` clunkier ' then my old akg 's , however they be still pretty light , and comfortable . I would prefer a little longer cord , but this just base on distance between my receiver , and couch where listen from . delivery as usual be quick and efficient by Amazon . Have have for about 5 month , highly recommend so far ! +745 Headphone POS 4 I wish this thing have some kind of battery indicator to tell I a estimate of how much battery I have leave , instead of just stop cold in the middle of a song and leave I wonder for a few seconds what happen . I like long , and I mean long listen session , and the battery always run out . +966 Headphone POS 5 ... they come in a beautiful black presentation box . it be almost too nice to through away ! the headphone be comfortable , completely surround the ear , and have aweseome sound . I be order a mid range amplifier to give it more pep as my walkman do not have enough power to really drive these . they be by far the best headphone I have ever own . you can not go wrong with the price - go for it . +index Domain Label Rating Review +68 Headphone POS 5 get two set - Tiger & Panda - for we nearly 4 and 6 1\/2 year old . they fit great , be comfortable & quiet and the individual volumn control be great . we use they w\/the portable dvd player in the car . nice and quiet ! cute too . +541 Headphone POS 4 it really get hot under the earpad . after about 5 minute , you 'll have to lift the headphone off you head to allow for some air to circulate around you ear . to make sure it be not just a isolate issue , I have other use these headphone as well . they give the headphone back to I within a few minute with the same complaint ... uncomfortably hot around the ear . I have have these headphone for about a year . the audio fidelity be great . I use they to get a full appreciation of song I really want to listen to . unfortunately , these be too uncomfortable -lrb- heat-wise -rrb- to use for more than a song or two at a time . it be really a shame , consider the sound produce by this headphone be exceptional . the high be crisp , the mid be define and the low be accurate , yet powerful . for day-to-day headphone , I use the Sony mdr-ex71 earbud . they sound ok , but you can really tell the difference go from earbud -lrb- with tiny 9mm driver -rrb- to the hd 497 . there be no substitute for size when it come to driver . also , unlike some higher-end headphone that require more power , these headphone do not require additional amplification for use with item , such as the ipod . as much as I like these headphone for they sound , I find it too uncomfortable to use regularly . this headphone be ideal for the follow combined condition : 1 -rrb- for use with personal audio player 2 -rrb- in cold environment , where the headphone can double as earmuff . also , the cord be extremely long and do not detach from the headset . the earpad do detach . it 'll be great if I can find replacement earpad that allow more air to circulate and heat to dissipate around the ear area . +182 Headphone POS 5 everything perfect . I be very happy with my purchase . I be not sound professional , but these headphone sound good . bye ... +936 Headphone POS 5 it be a shame Sony discontinue this model , I can not speak for the newer model , and frankly , when my last pair finally crap out , I buy another pair of these from a seller who still have they new . they sound incredible for such a cheap pair of headphone . everybody should own a pair . +960 Headphone POS 4 these be not all that durable , but with proper adjustment I can get they to stay for the gym or just a run . I do like have these on a head band most of the time . the sound be great , a open air system that have good bass , and clear and crisp high . the sound be a 5 for a color set . however the construction be not that great . I damage my cord quickly and as you remove the clip they wear , a lot . so I try to keep they on just the clip now . the cord snag loose with lite preaure . these be easy to take apart though so I fix it . I be think about recable these with a better cord . best thing out there I think for this price +150 Headphone POS 5 hi have anyone use these with window phone 7 phone ? wonder if the mic\/fwd\/rev \/ vol control work with window phone 7 base phone ? +693 Headphone POS 5 description of product as state . I have walk around my house with the headphone on and have have perfect reception to listen to my favorite movie or music . excellent product ! +22 Headphone POS 5 my wife research headphone for play at the gym and while travel . I buy a splitter so we could listen to the same source with she headphone and my Sony headphone . I could never hear the material as well as she could so I decide to get these . what take I so long ?? they work great . +116 Headphone NEG 1 I be a huge Sony guy , but these be some of the worst headphone I have try . the bass be often overwhelming , the construction be shoddy at best , the plastic cheap and uncomfortable , and they be UGLY ! they be huge and do not adjust well . the sound switch on the ear be foolish and useless -lrb- make no difference -rrb- . they be extremely uncomfortable , especially on the top of the head . I return these and buy the latest sennheiser hd202 headphone which blow these away for about the same price . buy SENNHEISER hd202 instead !!! Trust I ! sennheiser hd 202 headphone +704 Headphone NEG 2 purchase these headphone after be impress by the great review . however , I be very disappoint by the high-frequency response , or lack thereof . ultimately be so disappointed that I return they . +915 Headphone POS 4 buy this to use with my 5 string bass guitar ... this be perfect for what I want , some static here and there when you move around but overall its good +700 Headphone NEG 1 the sound be awesome for the short time they last . wire come away from ear bud . +934 Headphone NEG 1 this `` product '' do not last one month of use . I run 3-4 time a week for a hour at a time and that be why I want something water resistant . they look like they can hold up to moisture -lrb- the design be good -rrb- but they be hard to get on you ear and the wire that attach to the ear bud be not even . after 2 week of use they , one of the ear bud do not produce sound anymore . I should have return they but before think , I throw they in the garbage . I do not recommend anyone waste they hard earn money on this piece of crap . +388 Headphone NEU 3 I have have these headphone before , and strongly recommend they . the last pair that I have last until they be steal -lrb- hot commodity ; c -rrb- the pair I purchase from Amazon have something rattle around in the earpiece , but other than that be in great function condition , and still sound great . I would definitely recommend these -lrb- I have own 3 pair in my life , and the first I have for 4 year with no problem -rrb- . take care of they , and they could last forever . +589 Headphone POS 5 I do a bunch of research on headphone after try to beatmix with a pair of Behringer HDX2500 's in a loud club , next to a malfunction subwoofer , for a night . could not hear a thing with the cue all the way up that night . it suck . not to say that the Behringers be bad headphone . they be great for average -lrb- gaming computer ipod what have you -rrb- use . after look at all kind of headphone , and use sound isolation as one key parameter that every review I read have to mention positively , I end up with these . the sound isolation be fabulous . I pop these on and even without anything play through they I can not hear someone talk in the next room . in fact it will take get use to for the club . not least because what I be hear will sound so much better than what be go out through the PA. . the surround sound be amazing too - people say that no headphone will make it sound like you be listen to a room with a band in it but this be very close . John Coltrane sound like he be play stand next to you -lrb- without , I might add , kill you with the high note -rrb- . Ian Curtis sound like he be rise from the grave and be spazz out on the microphone in front of you . most of the high-quality ambient electronica that be come out in the last 10 year will finally sound like it should . I have hear subtle detail of song that I forget be in they , in the last 24 hour , with these , because you can not hear those detail in lesser headphone . I be in love with these and can not wait to use they in a loud setting . I have no doubt they will stand up to it . one final thing : the clincher for I be another review compare these to Sennheiser hd25 's , in which the reviewer say that he could turn down the cue on these for less fatigue compare to the senn . he be right - they be much easier on you ear . they be physically comfy too . you probably do not need something like this unless you be do audio for a bunch of people , but you might want to spoil yourself anyway . +397 Headphone NEU 3 the sound be good but the fit be a little loose . the ear clip be not very tight and not very good in keep out other sound . +543 Headphone POS 5 this product do exactly what I expect of it . it have good volume , tone and no background noise and very comfortable to wear . it be line of site transmission but that be not a problem the way I use they . I would not hesitate to purchase they again +779 Headphone POS 5 these be outstanding headphone , by far the best available in the price range . build quality feel substantial . sound quality be well-balanced and detailed , though ever so slightly muffle -lrb- difficult to over come with closed-back can -rrb- . sound leakage be minimal . if you want great sound , do not want to break the bank , do not care about hip look , and do not need to wear they strictly uninterrupted for more than 2 hour , do not hesitate . +241 Headphone POS 5 the sound quality on these headphone be really good even better when you consider the price . they be comfortable and the part can be replace . one reviewer have problem with the connector but I have be using\/abusing mine for a year and havent have any problem . really a good buy . +566 Headphone POS 5 ok ... so here go another comparison between the Koss Portpros and the sennheiser 100 's ? I be not go to bear you . . both headphone be outstanding performer with a ipod ... I own they both ... so which one be my preference ? the sennheiser , for one reason only ... people use they ipod in mall and on the go . there be time when I want to remove the phone from my ear for a few moment -lrb- say , in a store or when have conversation -rrb- . with the Sennheisers , I can remove the phone from my ear and let they `` hang '' around my neck in comfort ... try this with the Koss 's and they will place a stranglehold on you . for this reason alone , I recommend the Senn 's . both , in my humble opinion , sound equally good . +784 Headphone POS 5 I be in love with this headphone , comfortable , make for travel and the sound be something I do not expect for this set . it take a while -lrb- 1min -rrb- to put it on and off from its case . -lrb- nothing important -rrb- +279 Headphone NEG 1 the headphone work perfectly the first time I use they . put they back on the cradle to charge . the next time I go to use they , all I get be hissssss . call sennheiser . the problem be everything under the sun ... but the headphone : I do not have the volume turn up loud enough , I apparently be incompetent to scan through the dial from one end to the other , I do not have they plug in correctly , blah blah b ! b ! blah ! be tell to return the product ; would be 2 to 3 week turnaround for either repair or replace . I ship they to Sennheiser . no word if they ever receive they . no word if there be a prognosis . no word if there be go to be a fix . no word if and when I might get they back . no word , period ! Communication suck ! I email they , get a generic reply state that it would be 4 week turnaround . if you be think you be get these at a good price , tack on a extra $ 9.35 cost to ship they back to Sennheiser . +278 Headphone POS 4 I buy these for a long plane ride to St. Thomas . I use they with my ipod and I be very happy with my purchase . the volume level be great . I never need to raise the volume past 2\/3rd 's on my ipod . I try several headphone include my friend 's qc2 's and even though he sound quality may be slightly better , I could not get the volume on the bose to go high enough to enjoy watch a movie on my ipod . however , the sound quality on these Sennheiser 's be far better than anything else I have try in the past . also , even after use they for 3 hour , my ear do not hurt and they never get hot or sweaty . as far as the noise cancel part , BOSE win hand down . but it be still ok . it do a fair job of reduce jet engine noise , but do not cancel out voice around you . the main reason that I even buy these be because Consumer Reports rate they as a best buy overall . I can definetely see why . +180 Headphone POS 5 I need a new pair of headphone to replace some raggedy Sony mdr-v600 's that be 18 year old and fall apart . after literally a year of lurk in headphone forum and come close several time to drop several hundred dollar on this or that , I stumble across someone talk these up . after use these for a month or so , I be absolutely floor by how much better these be than those old v600 's ! to my ear , these be fantastic headphone . some people have comment on the weight of these be too much , but I do not find that to be true . while these be at least 5 time heavier than the Sony 's , they do not feel that way on my head . these be very comfortable headphone . the bass be have serious authority , but these be not fart box . it be clean , powerful bass that be not overwhelming whatsoever with a flat eq setting . I listen to a wide variety of music include rock , metal , rap , and classical , and no matter what I be listen to , I feel like I be hear the music as it be intend . these need to be run from a receiver or a dedicated headphone amp , and the cord be a little short -lrb- a extension cord take care of that -rrb- , but these be home orient headphone , so that stuff do not really matter . these have to be the best value in this price range . with a lifetime warranty , how can you go wrong ? +349 Headphone NEG 1 I use to have a sennheiser pxc 250 , but it break , so I think to have a try at a different brand . after read all the comment about Sony mdr-nc40 , I think I should give it a try . I receive the item about three day ago , try it on for one day , and it do not work at all . when I use it on the subway , I could still hear the loud noise ; it work like a pair of cheap ear foam filter but more uncomfortable and way more expensive . the headphone be so tight on my ear that it give I a headache . when I be use it on my laptop to watch video , even when I turn on the noise canceling function , I could still hear the loud noise of the tv and my family talk around I ; I end up have to turn up the volume , and eventually change to a pair of normal headphone , which work the same but have better sound quality . I just want something that be light weighted and actually do the job that it say it do , which be cancel noise . this one totally do not work for I at all . not sure if it be defect or simply not work the way it claim . either way , I be return this item today . +586 Headphone POS 5 these be cheap . they work when wet in the pool , but they hurt . pro : water proof , cheap con : cheap , painful after a little bit if you want a cheap pair of headphone to wear in the pool or ocean or something , they work , i could hear underwater . if you be go to be any sort of active , dont bother , they hurt and fall out . put money into something more expensive . i rate five star because they be exactly as advertise . anyone who have ever buy cheap headphone know you get what you pay for . Dont hate just because you too cheap to put down some money on a decent pair of headphone . you cant blame a cheap product from be cheap . you blame expensive product for be cheap . you get what you pay for . +294 Headphone NEU 3 I get this to hook up to my phone so I could use regular headphone with it . the 3.5 mm plug in work fine , but the 2.5 mm plug that go to the phone do not fit very tightly . it work , but if it get bump or jostle it will stop work . you just have to be careful and if you be plan on use it while run or something like that it , I do not recommend it . +985 Headphone POS 4 I recently purchase the Porta pro headphone and I be very satisfied . I work as a engineer in a office , so listen to music on my headphone be the only escape I have from the surround b . I wear they for long period of time work 10-14 hour day . the adjustable temple pad and lightweight design make they easy to wear all day without discomfort . I wear glass and this be the first pair of headphone I have be able to wear all day without be irritated by they . they also have a acceptable sound quality with decent bass response for such a small light-weight pair of headphone . two minor complaint : 1 -rrb- the plastic slide adjuster like to take hair with it from time to time when I adjust they on my head . I 'll let you know when it create a bald spot . 2 -rrb- when I get a phone call I use to always slide my headphone down on my kneck . these auto adjust - so when you slide they down on you kneck they auto adjust and be kind of tight and uncomfortable . I have have to get use to just take they off when I get a call or interuption . I recommend these headphone for sound quality and all day comfort . +290 Headphone POS 5 buy these a few week ago , have be use they purely for studio work , which I be convinced they be design for without much thought to the home user . these have a very flat frequency response and a sharp and unforgiving dynamic response , along with very little of the harmonic excitement or sound colouration that make consumer headphone sound `` better '' . you can pick the part from the mix with ease and you can almost see the knob on the dynamics effect use in record whatever you be listen to . if you be look to make music and want to hear PRECISELY what be come through the wire , these headphone can not be better under # 150 . if you have not the slightest clue what I have be talk about and just want to listen to you music , go buy something else , but beware ; audio equipment that color sound -lrb- ie the vast majority of suppose `` audiophile '' equipment -rrb- will sound great with one peice of music and will kill another stone dead . +253 Headphone NEG 2 to get it to work and listen to by Nature podcast - I have to have the plug half-way in . it get disconnect often -lrb- 3-5 time during a 10 minute way -rrb- . basically , not usable for the 1st get iTouch . +292 Headphone POS 5 I have be search for a nice set of earbud that provide good sound and be light weight . I use they when I go jogging and they sit nice and snug in my ear as I run . the rubber cushion block out most of the ambient noise so all you hear be you music . if you be look for something small with good sound and will not eat a hole in you wallet this be the answer . +703 Headphone POS 5 this may not be the most expensive earbud you can buy , but the sound be incredibly warm with enough bass to satisfy . I have purchase two set so far . one for I and one for my wife . she be no audiophile but love the sound . +54 Headphone POS 4 the sound quality on these be pretty good , they be on the smaller size so you have to turn the volume up to block outside noise . they be very comfortable for long session , I have wear they for 8 hour at a time without any issue . I do wish there be a lock mechanism on the metal adjustment band . as soon as they come off you head it squeeze shut , which get irritating quickly . the `` case '' be a leather pouch which you can barely squeeze they into . I stop use it after a couple day . overall , these be just ok . the difference between these and any $ 10 pair be minimal aside from the sound quality . I would buy these again at a lower price , for $ 35 though I would look elsewhere . +237 Headphone POS 5 I have be search for the perfect , over the ear headphone for such a long time ! I be so grateful I find these ! initially I have purchase bose headphone , -lrb- ae2 -rrb- , however , they be not to my liking . I be much happier with the Sony 's . they be comfy , they sound fantastic , and I have a even greater appreciation for music with these . also , they look good . some headphone i have try on fit oddly around my head but these hug my head perfectly ! love they . +175 Headphone POS 4 I agonize a few day over my new selection - so many option . sound quality be so subjective . I mostly ignore that aspect in review , but I will say that `` I '' like the quality and find it superior to any of the dozen or so sub $ 40 bud I have use -lrb- and lose -rrb- . I be surprised and pleased with the quality of the low-end part of the spectrum . the other element I be after be `` tangle-resistance '' . these be so resistant , they may be make of a yet-undisclosed state of matter , solid , but ... ; -rrb- they also be very comfortable with a good isolation seal of the ear canal . the dark red color of the the cable and the nice little case may help I hang on to these for more than a year ! the only niggle I can cite be the `` rasp '' of sound conduction via the cable as it move on you clothing . however , I consider this to be minor and be expect with tangle-resistance . all in all , a good value . +928 Headphone POS 5 BOUGHT for MYSELF ... I love them . . THEY MUFFLE all outer sound give you that one on one feel ... +351 Headphone POS 5 we buy this so we girl could listen to music and here the audio on dvd 's at the same time during a long car trip . it allow they to hear without my wife and I `` listen in . '' +743 Headphone NEU 3 these headphone have be pretty good for I for a little over a year . they have give I a sore head after extended use , but nothing too severe . my main issue here come with the retractable headphone cord go bad , and just outside the one-year warranty , to boot . I have be the only one use they , and not in any way that should harm they . the left ear have begin to stop work , and I have to twist the cord around to get any sound in it at all . all in all , good headphone for a little over a year , but watch out for the headphone cord give out . +526 Headphone POS 4 I buy this for my 30 something wife for Xmas . she be always try to hear she show over the kid yell and play and not that she will ever admit it but she have a bit of a hearing problem . she usually listen to the tv at 45 - 50 . I like it at 25 - 30 . I get about as good a response from this as a Xmas present as if I would have give she a vacuum or blender . BUT she have be use it every day since Xmas and love it . only down side that she say be she could not fall asleep with they while lay on the couch . but i catch she sleep with they on last night . also , because this be the IR version she have to keep she snuggie under the part that hang under she chin or it cut out . also , if she move around the blanket -lrb- snuggie -rrb- bunch up and can block the IR also . +901 Headphone POS 5 I run , bike , and hike . these actually do stay in place -lrb- in the ear -rrb- while be very active . great Job ! sound quality be excellent ! +157 Headphone NEG 1 I buy 2 pair of these for my 3 year old granddaughter to use while watch dvd in we Sienna minivan . both set quit within 2 week of purchase . we be now use the one that come with the van by roll up a washcloth around the top to make they fit better . too bad there be not any other one available that will fit kid small head . I would give these a zero instead of a 1 if I could . do not waste you money . +862 Headphone NEU 3 I purchase these headphone to replace the stock iPhone headphone . after a year or so , the pause , skip and volume control fail , which I believe be due to perspiration . I decide to try these out with the anticipation that over time , the control would also fail eventually . I do not expect that to happen after a single very short run . if you plan on use these while work out and you perspire even minimally , I can not recommend these . if , on the other hand , you use they while not work out -- they be a good option . +625 Headphone NEU 3 you get what you pay for . the quality of the sound seem fine , but I can not get they loud enough to really test they . I buy these for my 2 small child , so that they could listen to they dvd on car trip . they seem to like they ok , although the bud be a little big . but when I try to listen to music with they , I could barely hear . +851 Headphone POS 4 I have research bluetooth stereo headset and find these to be the best combination of affordability , build quality , and sound quality . sure enough , they live up to what the professional reviewer say ! +20 Headphone POS 4 I just get these guy yesterday and they sound great . they do not sound as good as my v-moda vibe duo earbuds\/headset -lrb- iPhone Compatible -rrb- - black I actually get these because i be a little rough on my Vibe Duo 's and have to send they in -lrb- under warranty -rrb- for replacement . I know they be cheapo 's but if these last 6-10 month I 'll be happy , and happily order more . btw i send in my Vibe Duo 's -lrb- under warranty -rrb- and i have replacement in a week , no question . great company , great headphone , go get em . +223 Headphone POS 5 there be a lot of detailed review over here , so I just add my personal experience after have those headphone for a long time . those be just great , long battery life and the most important feature great overall sound . those be great for music and the surround effect add a lot for movie as well . we have a decent 5.1 configuration and we find ourselves more and more use those headphone instead , specially when we watch poor encode movie . I be not audiophile , but I can tell a difference between different quality and I find those be at top of all headphone that I have include wire one . the problem that we find : each pair of headphone can be pair only with one base at the same time . repair process be not comfortable to do it all the time , so if you have two basis you need to have different headphone for it . overall great purchase and really recommend product in spite of its relative high price tag . +565 Headphone POS 5 no question this product be full on , 5 star material . I receive a pair of these phone in 1991 -lrb- maybe 1990 , not sure -rrb- , as a birthday present from my aunt and uncle . since receive they , I have take they with I all over the world . I have sleep with they on my head on 15 hour flight , I have sleep with they in my bed , they have be abused and trounce in all kind of luggage . not only do these thing sound incredible , they obviously hold up very well consider the abuse I have heap upon mine and they be still work and sound perfectly after these eighteen -lrb- 18 -rrb- year . I be in awe of they ... awesomeness . I have replace the ear pad once , with these Beyer Dynamic velour pad -lrb- highly recommend btw -rrb- : -lrb- ... -rrb- I be 36 year old , and wonder if I will be willing these thing to one of my child ?! : -rrb- +420 Headphone POS 5 I usually do not write review for product that I buy , but I have to for these headphone . I have purchase several headset over the last few year , each pair a little better than the last . research several site for a quality pair , I come across these . I check the review , good and bad . compare these to a couple of other set , decide to go with this set because of the price and feature . when the set arrive , I expect to hear a improvement over the last pair , but I be blow away . the sound quality be amazing . in addition to that there be 5 different sound preset . I use these when I be bike ride and I do not loose any sound while play music through my phone -lrb- Motorola Photon 4g -rrb- . I have receive call and the person state that they can hear I as clearly as I can hear they . I be impressed by this set , Rocketfish Bluetooth High-Definition Stereo Headphones rf-mab2 . I f you look for a quailty set of bluetooth headphone , this be it . +800 Headphone NEG 2 the product be easy to set up and operational within minute . despite some background static that be always present , even after tuning , the unit work okay for several day until it stop work while I be watch tv . after hear heavy static , I notice that the green base light be no longer on . as soon as the headphone be unplugged from the tv , the green light come back on and the unit work again for a few minute then go out again ; this reoccur several time . perhaps there be a electrical shortage in the base unit . I be research other model and brand for a replacement . I be glad that Amazon have a easy postage-free return policy . +523 Headphone POS 5 first let I say great review J. governalus . for the fool sit in you room think these be go to block out you mom yell at you ... try read the manual . if you have not try the noise cancel on a airplane or another noisy low freq form of transportation , do not write a review . +832 Headphone NEU 3 these earbud look awesome , but they will not stay in you ear very well . I buy the earbud for my wife and she say they be too heavy and when she move a little bit they just fall out . she have try the different size of ear piece it come with and none will hold they in . if the earbud would stay in I would give this product a 5 - star rating due to the fact that when she do not move , they stay in , and sound great . +905 Headphone POS 5 I just get these and have test they out enough to say that you be get good value for you money with these headphone . one of the first product that I be quite content with enough to post a review . they be not the best headphone ever , but at $ 20ish , you can not go wrong . +546 Headphone POS 5 I love this item it keep in the music and they be easy to use i think any way , its very good , sure its kind of pricey but just think that you pay for these once and wont have to buy headphone for a long time +322 Headphone NEU 3 good ear buds\/phones they be a little weird to get use to . the angle of the earpiece be a bit confusing and i get they mix up once and a while . great sound isolation and good sound . they havent broken yet so we 'll see how long they last . +99 Headphone POS 4 these be really good headphone . they be not the absolute best that money can buy but they be very good still . the Noise isolation be work well . the bass be pretty deep as long as you have the right ear cushion in . the smaller piece you have in , the better it be , and easier it stay in you ear . overall it be be a good purchase . pro : Audio quality , bass , noise iso . con : price , control talk control do not work on android , earbud be heavy and can fall out when walk . +164 Headphone NEG 2 I really love these headphone , but after a couple of month use they for my run , they up and die . as other have report here , they do not seem to deal with sweat very well after time . if you be not go to exercise in they , then they be nice , otherwise , look elsewhere . +483 Headphone NEU 3 pricey for the slight improvement in sound quality and the case be barely enough to provide a tiny extra bit of protection for you headphone . however , I get it for a cheap price from one of the third-party seller on amazon , and it feel comfortable in my ear as compare to the regular earphone . +866 Headphone NEG 2 there be just something about these headphone that do not sound right to I . I have another pair of throw-away earbud from skullcandy and those sound a lot better . I be hope that I would like it as it be a good price point but it look like I 'll be donate it to goodwill soon . : \ +208 Headphone NEG 2 I do lot of cycling as well as weight training and always use earbud to help the time pass . I have 5 different set of bud and this Panasonic set be my least favorite . the high be clear and well define but they have zero and I mean zero bass . all four of my other bud have better bass response although all be not as clear . if you really like treble with little bass these be the bud for you but if you like metal or rock these be weak . I do like the ear piece as they do stay put , just can not listen to the `` tinny '' sound these produce . +837 Headphone NEG 1 these headphone break when I be change the tip on they . they be not very durable . the plastic be thin and cheap . also there be this piece of plastic stick out of it that stab you ear . it hurt quite a bit . this be a mistake , luckily they be not that expensive . not recommend . +854 Headphone POS 5 I do not bother with spec . I use they , they be great . only thing I would change be the long cord . who need 10 foot for a portable mp3 player . but that be easy to solve with a wire tie . the 10 foot do come in handy for listen to my mp3 's on my computer . I have 10 foot to dance around in , instead of the 4 ft. on my older , lower quality sony headphone . so , if you be into spec , I can not help you , but if you just want some great headphone at a great price , these should work for you . they be crisp , but can thump when call upon , too . +677 Headphone POS 4 the sound be alright but the bass could be stronger . the cord be prone to break if you wrap it too often ; a pair of these last I only 3 month or so with regular use -lrb- like 4 hour a day -rrb- . if you need something light to carry when you travel then these be for you . if you be like I , -lrb- someone who listen to music all the time -rrb- sound quality be extremely important you should invest in some higher quality headphone . a extra ten buck can get you a pair with padded earphone , a longer cord , and a better overall product . +806 Headphone POS 4 I be enthusiastically ambivalent . these headphone sound great . not just good , but great . although -lrb- ... -rrb- rate these badboy a notch or a half below Koss 's flagship portapro , I be have a hard time hear the difference . as of this moment -lrb- hey , I have only have they for a few hour -rrb- , they actually sound both slightly better and slightly worse . the GOOD : 1 . although Koss can have a rep for be bassy -lrb- albeit in a very controlled fashion -rrb- , I find the sportapro to have a flatter response from low to hi than the portapro , which clearly emphasize the bass . the BAD : 1 . the portapro have a clear edge in the mid and high . no contest . the portapro create a larger , more realistic soundstage . they be also undeniably louder than the sportapro . you 'll have to crank up the sport a bit to get optimal sound quality and volume . the UGLY : 1 . these be hand down the UGLIEST , -lrb- ... -rrb- ugly , fugly ` phone you will ever see or wear . I take a look at the phone on my head , in the cooler more hip strap behind the head position , and my heart sink . you will look like Lando Calrissian 's assistant from the Empire strike back -lrb- that be not a good thing , btw -rrb- , whether you want to or not . conclusion : 1 . outstanding sound for very little money . these be not true audiophile headphone , and neither be the portapro . the port exaggerate bass albeit in controlled fashion , and the sport while have a flatter bass response , produce mid and high which be not nearly as impressive . I 'll keep look for the perfect price\/performance\/esthetics equation . Grados and Senns be up next ... +993 Headphone POS 5 its neat ! a set of very comfortable headphone , which completely surround and caress you ear ! incredibly lightweight consider the size ! I wouldnt really like to compare these with bose or the likes , since Sennheiser be know to make some really quality stuff . I try a variety of music use these , range from soft classical to pop to some really embellished music ... and with each genre I realize that with this pair of Sennheiser , I hear the subtler tune and finer point which I didnt know exist . thankfully , the unit come with a cord winder as a beltclip attachment , which will save you the trouble of tag along the extra wire or stuff part of the 6 ft cord into you pocket . I wasnt too happy about the fact that I could hear myself nice and loud when singing along even softly with the music -lrb- would have be pleasant if I have a good voice ! -rrb- but on the brighter side , its as good as Karaoke , aint it ?? weigh the cost to delivery ratio ... I would definitely recommend it ! +911 Headphone NEG 2 these be not adjustable in any way . the speaker part be so huge and the hook be too big to fit snugly over my ear to keep they in place . after about 20 minute I be have to take they off they hurt so bad . I would return they if I could ! love the Nike Vapor white plastic one . very adjustable and lightweight . +488 Headphone POS 5 I originally receive these headphone as a Christmas gift and fall in love with they : the neckband design I prefer , thick quality foam over each earphone , and a durable string over the wiring -lrb- rather than the typical rubber -rrb- . while the reflective coating on the neckband have a tendency to be easily scratch off and the original pair snap in half from a awkward snag while place in a backpack -lrb- to be fair , at three in the morning when I be very uncoordinated -rrb- , I like it enough to go online and buy it when no other store have it in stock . +386 Headphone POS 5 I really have to say that for this price , you usally think you can not get too much of a good piece of equipment , but that be not always true . these be great headphone , especially if all you use they for be for now and then , the n they really serve they purpose . now if you want some super duper acoustic marvelous headphone then buy those that cost you 300 buck and up . +528 Headphone POS 4 do not come with r\/l rca type plug to accommodate tv . small control hard to use for older user . otherwise good value . +147 Headphone POS 5 awesome . amazing . comfortable . gorgeous sound . be it worth the steep price ? well , the money would be waste on doe-eyed soft-haired teen idol but definitely well spend Pink Floyd ! ; -rrb- +459 Headphone POS 5 this earphone ara amazing they havent mess up since i buy they usually earphone only last I a week but not this one ... its a great purchase and its worth it ... +387 Headphone POS 5 I have these in pink ! I love they ! the sound do not compare to other headphone . I love to go for walk and listen to my ipod and tune out the day . I feel like I be at a concert with all of my favorite song . when I be listen to music I do not want to be distract by outside noise or bad quality of sound , it just make it not worth it . the remote volume be a nice bonus , I do not have to unlock my ipod . love they ! buy these headphone they be worth the money ! +876 Headphone POS 4 the sound be great for a $ 10 earbud but the cord be 6-12 inch short of ideal . +637 Headphone POS 5 just get these today at bestbuy and the sound be amazing . the bass and sound be so clear . and they give you 5 different pair of eartip so u can pick the one that feel the most comfortable to u +332 Headphone POS 5 I try all the new sport line from Sennheiser . these be comfortable and have excellent range of sound from the high to the low . one cord = less tangle and `` fooling '' to adjust single earpiece as you walk or run . when not use at work , they fit nicely around you neck . with single bud , they dangle or get cord tangle up . Thesework well with my sunglass also . light , no pain in ear at all even after 2-3 hour straight wear . the `` twist to fit '' be clumsy to try and fit . Trust they will move out of position when you walk or move you head thus lose all bass . the clip on version be a joke . hard fit , no bass . . barely rest on you canal . I be a big fan of the Sony Fontopias for the `` in ear sound '' -lrb- that drown out noise ... for when I study -rrb- . these Sennheiser behind the neck be my second pair . you can still hear ambient sound . recommend if you be active or like the idea of one cord and one piece set up . . best to not wear a collared shirt with these but rather a tshirt . the back of the brace will keep bump the collar when you move you head up or down or sideways and be annoying . Tshirt have best clearance . unless you stare at the ceiling all day . +123 Headphone POS 4 the sound be 5 star , but the cord be only 3 ft. long and that really limit movement while you be use they . so , they only score 4 star . +91 Headphone POS 5 I just get these on sale for $ 24 . I be a little discourage to hear people write that they hurt they ear because I always seem to have that problem with headphone . I be big -lrb- 6 ' 7 '' -rrb- and I do not have small ear , but for $ 24 I figure what the heck . I be glad I ignore those review because I do not have any problem . I have have mine on now for the last 3 hour with no problem . the sound be quality be great and so be the bass response . there be a few hip hop song I have listen to and be completely suprise by they ability to hit some of the low frequency . best pair of headphone I have ever own in the -lrb- $ 60 range . +402 Headphone POS 5 if you be look for accurate music reproduction these be probably the cheapest good headphone you can get . they hold they own against much more expensive one , both from Sennheiser and other brand -lrb- I also own a sennheiser hd580 and have use several other -rrb- . ergonomics be excellent as well , I can wear they morning through evening without `` ear burn '' . much recommend ! +957 Headphone POS 5 this be my first new pair of headphone in quite a few year . they be a replacement for a 25 year old pair of akg k-240 , my last pair of Sennheiser headphone be a pair of hd-414 which still work great after 30 year of use . I have always find they product in general to be very high quality . the sound quality with these be excellent listen to any type of music , excellent flat frequency response , good clean bass and very crisp high , and very comfortable . +794 Headphone POS 5 the Belkin headphone splitter have a lifetime warranty and be provide great audio to both outlet and I have no problem plug in to ipad 2 or computer , etc. . very good product at a amazing price ! +954 Headphone POS 5 these headphone feel much more expensive than they be . they be comfortable and lightweight . I use they at work to block out the general noise and listen to music and record book and they muffle the outside noise nicely while deliver great sound quality . +572 Headphone POS 5 the more I use the go - Waterproof \/ Sweatproof \/ Sports MP3 Player Headphones - 2gb - in-ear Earbuds Style -lrb- AKA Wave -rrb- at first , it take a few swimming session to figure out which ear bud best fit my ear , but ever since I figure it out , its be great . I recently institute a run regimen into the day I swim and I go from swim to run or run to swim without even take they off . Pretty cool if you ask I . sometimes they loosen up in the water , but that not often since I figure out which bud to use . I use to run with my iPhone , and now its just weird not carry one lol , but I can not say much more to how much I have enjoy this purchase . if you want to know , I have be run on a treadmill or elliptical . when the weather warm up , I 'll probably switch back over to the iPhone because I can use RunKeeper outside . for now , I be very happy ! \*\*\*\* EDIT \*\*\*\* so I add some song on the player and forget to screw the little cap thing to seal the usb port . I jump in the pool and boom , it stop . my fault . now I be piss I have to buy another . +260 Headphone NEG 1 ok so maybe this doesnt qualify this product as a `` 1 star '' ... however ... at least I get you read this and that the point . my boyfriend get these because of the great review , he say they be voted\/listed on some top ten list of great headphone so we be both excite to see how well they would work . we have purchase about 8 pair over the last 2 year for business as we both work from we home office -lrb- we both work out of the same room -rrb- . they arrive from amazon prime in 1 day -lrb- wow ! usually take 2 '' ? '' !?? -rrb- . they look sharp . first thing I notice be that the ear muff be not too thick ... they look more of compact size so I think ok ... its quality not quantity ... minimal be better . I put they on my ear as he be play some random song on he music list and I have to admit it do sound really good . I dont know if it be worth the price - good - but it sound great . I dont know much about bass\/etc with headphone but there seem to be no base it be a `` eminem '' song . not sure if he computer setting be off or what . so move on ... ... sheeeeesh ... ok so I dont know if he be go to keep the thing -lrb- probably -rrb- but it just drive I crazy hearing EVERY lyric to EVERY SONG he play on those thing . I mean ... sure if I have the tv on in the same room I cant hear it . its almost as if ... imagine you be sit on the couch ... and you ` annoying teenage\/or-college neighbor that like to party and listen to loud music ... have it on ... and even though you windows\/doors be close ... you still hear it loudly ... slightly muffle . im tell you , I would prefer the `` seinhauser '' -lrb- its spell something like that - brand -rrb- headphone any day over these and you can get they on amazon from anywhere between $ 25 - $ 30 any random day . that way ... it doesnt defeat the purpose of what ` headphone ' be . you know ... enjoyment for you ears\/mental stimulation - while drive those crazy around you . I be realllly surprised that no one else have leave a 1 star review state this problem . maybe that what the 3 star people be say -lrb- havent have the time to check and read but hopefully this will just save you time -rrb- . good luck = -rrb- I just ask my boyfriend how he like the headphone -lrb- without he know I would write what he say -rrb- - he say `` I like they '' ... `` but I dont know if they be worth the money '' ... if the sound didnt come out of the headphone , I would rate this a 5 star anyday ... +83 Headphone POS 5 I have order a pair of bluetooth headphone from hp . only have they a few month and they break in the middle . try to get they replace but they could not do that so I go on line to find something else and the logitech pair look ok so I buy they . great ! strong ! sound be great . pair easy . just what I want . +426 Headphone POS 5 these be order for a gift and I end up keep they for myself . the sound quality be wonderful . do the stylish case , they be easy to pack and take with I when I travel . +304 Headphone POS 5 product be Great . Service be great . keep up the good work ! +791 Headphone NEG 1 arrive on-time however the right headphone be completely dead . do not bother on buy these . I guess that be why these 80 dollar headphone be list for 50 dollar off ... seem like good constuction but if they do not work , what be the point . +410 Headphone NEG 2 the sound quality and bass of these bud be very good ... if you can actually get they to stay in you ear for more than 2 minute at a time . definitely do not plan on be able to wear these walk or run . even sit down , they fall out of my ear after barely turn my head . they do come with 7 different ear piece to try out , but the main problem arise from the clunky design of the earbud itself . the oversized cylinder shape of the bud prevent they from fitting nicely in the ear canal , regardless of which of the 7 ear piece you use . I should also mention that because of the poor fit , there be almost no ambient noise cancellation . and of course , in the slightest breeze there will be load of wind noise howl in you ear . another draw back be the huge piece of plastic\/rubber that serve as the separator for the left and right cable . this constantly get catch on thing and help pull the earbud out of my ear even faster . +425 Headphone POS 4 Great for the gym\/yardwork . not a audiophile or anything , but I know what I like in `` less-than - $ 50 '' in-ear headphone . Bass be not too overwhelming as in most of these type of bud , mid be fine & the high can be a little too high at time , but tweaking the eq setting on you ipod\/zune\/mp3 player should do the trick . do not try to compare these to $ 100 + in-ear headphone ... apple to orange . just know that these fit the bill at the price . +564 Headphone POS 5 I have have a pair of these once before and after year that infamous headphone scenario finally happen where one side stop playing . I decide to try out bud , and then after I go through a few pair of bud , run into these again after look for athletic headphone and be SO glad I buy another pair . the sound be excellent , and they cling on to my ear just right . I actually really like that they be not completely noise cancel at lower volume because I run outside by biker and car alot as well as in the gym . I feel like this newer pair too have a more fitted shape which make they comfortable on the ear and not bulky at all . for the sound quality and fit , totally recommend they for work out and sport . if you be go to be on a international flight for over 10 hour , you might need to take they off to sleep , but besides that they be golden . +130 Headphone POS 5 Sony MDR-XD200 Stereo Headphones I listen to music all day long at work . I really like the 10 foot cord . the sound be crisp and clear . I can really crank the volume up and the other people around I can not hear what I be listen too at the volume that I be listen to . they be big and bulky no doubt but I will take that for the clarity of sound that I get . the Treble and Bass frequence come across clear . I have not notice a difference in the Sound\/Movie feature . I get all the high and low . the sound Quality be almost as good as the Custom Bulit bose system in my Truck . I have also use these Sony MDR-XD200 Headphones for gaming and the quality of sound do not change at all . they be well make and sturdy . some people complain about it hurt after a few hour , my opinion of what they say be ; I wear my Sony MDR-XD200 Headphones for approx 11 hour a day by 5 day a week. , I have not problem with the comfort and they do not hurt . kudos to Sony for the Sony MDR-XD200 Stereo Headphones . I love they . +28 Headphone NEG 1 this product be just terrible . they be confuse to set up and once you set they up they hardly work . I have spend copious amount of time look for good headphone and when I get these i have hope this would have be my lucky break , it be not . they have terrible connection , and they do not hug the ear . the constant static noise be unbearable . I think i have spend more time try to tune they than I have be use they . I wish that these headphone be wire there be actually more wire and less freedom involve with this than wire headphone . let I get to the pro and con pro : comfortable Wireless Battery life con : constant static noise more wire involve do not hug the ear hard to set up short range Ambiguous and even incomprehensible instruction battery must be replace tune it be a hassle the major problem be that even if you get the perfect tune there be still a static noise in the backaround +379 Headphone POS 5 I have a pair of these headphone about 3 year ago and really enjoy the sound and comfort but eventually they fall apart . my mistake be not purchase another pair ... instead I purchase the koss portapro . while the portapro be nice , I genuinely prefer the sound and build the Koss ksc75 provide . the portapro have a little too much bass make the sound of my music someway muddy and overall not accurate . you will love the Koss ksc75 ! check out the LMA when you make the wise decision to purchase these can : -lrb- ... -rrb- +306 Headphone POS 5 I be completely satisfy . I just fly commercial carrier across the country . the engine drone be reduce significantly allow I to really enjoy a mp3 player , read , and sleep , yet still be able to easily hear airline personnel , announcement , and passenger . the under $ 30.00 price be perfect . +987 Headphone POS 5 grant I be not a music professional , but I purchase these base on the recommendation I read while research the purchase , and I sure be not disappoint . the sound be phenomenal - you have music come from different direction - great separation . the fit be very comfortable . the ear piece fit completely over my ear make a good connection and the headpiece be very ample in size for adult who might have larger head . I be very happy with this purchase . +166 Headphone NEU 3 I buy these at best but for $ 80 I be excite until I hear they . they do not have a lot of bass and after about half a hour they begin to hurt my ear . then I buy some Sony mdr v150 and they have more bass and cost I about 40 cheaper . +527 Headphone POS 4 these earbud be great . I have be use they for about 3 week now and they have be super . pro : Stay in any ear -lrb- many earpiece available out of the box -rrb- comfortable long cord shirt clip attach to wire good high range sound great for mow , run etc. . very soundproof durable design come with carry case con : uncomfortable when try to lay down or fall asleep . low range sound be lackluster OVERALL : come from someone who be just look for a pair of headphone that would stay in they head , these m6-bk perform well . there be a bunch of different earbud attachment that will fit any depth or size of ear . another thing of note be the wiring near the earbud itself ; it be encase in a heavier material that can be mold to fit the back of you ear , which be nice . the only thing hold these back from five star be the sound quality . +406 Headphone NEU 3 the product sound great , but not so far away as the say . who need that anyway ? but the charge base be really bad design and you need to be really carefull to let it charge . +359 Headphone POS 5 I get these today , and I love they !! the ear bud be great-they have really good sound quality , they come with the ear bud peice that pop off ... one set in regular size , and one set in a smaller size which I really like . they fit in you ear perfectly becuase of how small they be , and they be super comfy . the bass headphone be awesome ... I do think they be go to be a little louder , but they block out surround sound great . they be very comfortable and I love this color ! in the photo the side be color red but it look kind of flat and dull , but they dont look like that at all . the color be a nice , deep red ... almost like a gel color-very flashy . they look alot better than I expect . the only drawback be the shipping be $ 8.00 . which I think be kind of stupid ... the headphone be price nearly the same amount ... so youll end up pay about $ 18.62 for these instead of $ 10.24 ... just keep that in mind . it be still a good deal , any how ... and im glad I get they ! I need they , I be use dollar store headphone ... ... everyone know how that go ; -rrb- +38 Headphone POS 5 i love this little guy for one its hellum cheaper then at like guitar center or radio shack and it work great i can now record myself on my computer with this so im happy +492 Headphone NEG 2 Got this set of bluetooth headset from best buy because I download most of my music wirelessly to my phone of tablet , so now my music be always with I and since these be wireless everything just work out better . for a behind the neck style headset these rocketfish have a excellent fit , very comfortable . I have be look for a new headset for jogging and these seem perfect , no adjusting or fiddle what so ever they stay put and feel great !! the bad part be they sound like a cheap set of headphone , very flat with no low end and even distort when they be try to produce the poor sound weak bass that they do put out . the mid and high range be not bad . if these could produce a wider and more full frequency range they would be fantastic , five star . I dont mean to nit pick but i have to hold my audio gear to high standart weather its home stereo or a set of earbud . I belive poor sound mean poor sound engineering . as I say before I love the fit and functionality of this headset and if they have more low frequency response and less distortion they would be perfect ! sorry to say they have to go back . +799 Headphone POS 5 I expect these headphone to be good base on the review but they be even better than I hope . the sound in my opinion compare favorably to other headphone cost much more . it be crystal clear with a rich thumping bass . finally my Zune sound the way it should . I can honestly say I have not hear better sound from any headphone I have use . +765 Headphone POS 5 I listen to music literally all the time , and i need some sort of headphone that could withstand constant use and yet still be comfortable . these headphone do not look terrible and they sound great . turn all the way up its almost unbearable noise , and the 3 comfortability setting actually do make a difference . if you want good headphone , that dont break the bank , then buy these +297 Headphone POS 5 I be no audiophile or anything , I usually just go with the cheap behind the head headphone or something , but I get a promotion at work and very soon after someone sit on my old pair , so I figure I would replace they with something nice to celebrate . I look around for the best pair I could find for a reasonable price , and these seem like the choice . I be blow away by these - the bass response be incredible . I feel like I can hear every instrument that be playing , I can hear the bass like no other headphone I have ever experience , they be comfortable and the cord be long enough so I can move around at my desk and still be plug in . I do not think I have even begin to scratch the surface with these since I just plug it into my ipod , instead of a professional amplifier or something , and my audio bitrate be 128 or maybe 192 but man these thing be sweet . its hard to bring they to work since they be so large and I be afraid of break they -lrb- they seem sturdy but have the dj flip thing go on and I be a bit clumsy with my headphone -rrb- , but other than that these be a engineering marvel . if you do not have these , you have not really listen to you music yet . +238 Headphone NEG 2 I do not realize that these earbud come with a j style cord . Everytime I wear these , the weight of the cord and or any jostle or turn of my neck cause the earbud on the short cord to pull out of my ear since the main cord hang directly in line with it . good fit in the ear and good sound but the cord be a loser and I will be replace these with something else . Update -lrb- 06\/2011 -rrb- : after use these heavily for several month to listen to music on my phone while walk the cord eventually fail right at the head set side of the plug , sever one of the wire . I replace these with pair of Klipsch ear bud and have have zero problem with they . they be a standard y cord and the cord be longer as well . +215 Headphone POS 5 my husband have use the Sennheiser rs-120 headphone at night so he do not disturb my sleep and be extremely happy with the performance . they be comfortable to wear and the sound be crisp and clear . also , the silence be golden for I . +870 Headphone POS 4 the ar Wireless Headphones have good reception thoughout my house . it do start to get some static in my back yard and in my garage but other than that it work good . the headphone do fit comfortably on my head , they also block out most of the background noise . +342 Headphone NEG 1 to keep it short , form the begin the sound be low quality with high TREMBLE . after use the headphone for three day one side stop work . I be disgusted , not even worth the hassle of return . truely , loyal Amazon shopper . +680 Headphone POS 5 not much to say , they be what I expect . it be hard to find replacemnet ear cover . they come a few day after order and I be very please with they . +256 Headphone POS 4 i take away a star because the bud get a little uncomfortable after a couple of hour and i do not like the intermediate connection in the headphone wire . the sound quality be excellent for use with a laptop\/mp3 player . great for jogging and workout . no noise reduction feature but it be much safer that way at the gym and the road . +124 Headphone POS 5 these headphone be a steal for the price range . I be thoroughly impressed with its noise cancel ability . I always use these in the library on campus to drown out the sound of the idiot who come there to socialize . it do get somewhat uncomfortable after extend use , however . diff --git a/test/HomeTheaterSystem.txt b/test/HomeTheaterSystem.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..532983c6dcc9e52b8e340d4f002a4a79ede517a6 --- /dev/null +++ b/test/HomeTheaterSystem.txt @@ -0,0 +1,200 @@ +316 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 if you be look for a all-in-one home theater system with all the new goody , then this be definitely the one to look for . at -lrb- $ $ $ -rrb- , it have pro logic ii , a feature not usually find on other system with similar price , which actually convert you normal stereo sound to 5.1 surround -lrb- now my tv sound surround ! -rrb- . it also have progressive scan too , a big plus . it play mp3 , VCD , CD-R\/RW beside dvd . furthermore , the player look very cool with its metallic casing . on the minus side , the speaker look mediocre like some -lrb- low-end -rrb- computer speaker , but the sound be clear and crisp . the remote that come with it look like -lrb- low-end -rrb- plastic , very unattractive . anyway , what I really care be the numerous function of the remote . in short , if you be look for a budget home theater with all the function , then this be the one you should go for . +220 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 we buy this system about 4 month ago when move into a new place . when compare it to higher price Sony model and whatnot , we find this one to have the most and best feature for the most reasonable price . Pioneer be well know for its high standard in audio quality and be probably one of the best in the industry . it have 5 speaker plus a subwoofer . the speaker be back right , back left , front right , front left , and one that go on top of you television . the overall appearance be very impressive . the subwoofer can either stand up or lay on its side , which ever you prefer . we decide to put it under the couch to create a more realistic and captivating effect . the dolby digital encoding in this thing be superior . for example , in a movie a car could be drive from the left of the screen to to the right and the sound of the automobile will actually seem to move across you room because of the effect the speaker produce . it be as if you be actually in a theater . very deep clear sound . we preview many different home theater system from best buy and other electronics store and this one be by far the best . it have a cleaner , crisper , deeper , more resonant sound than other model such as the more expensive sony . no hiss or click sound like the other produce because they can not handle the amount of sound . also , it have ton of different preset theater surround sound you can pick from to give you dvd the best sound possible . some of they that I can remember off hand be Action , Drama , musical , virtual Surround 1 , Virtual Surround 2 -lrb- my favorite -rrb- , and there be many many more that I can not remember right now . another feature that make this model superior to its competitor be that it be all in one unit . the receiver and 5-dvd changer be all in one so you do not have to worry about the bulk that other system cause . this be especially helpful if you live in a small place or a apartment ... or if you just do not want alot of equipment take up alot of space . we have ours in a small stand with a VCR and Playstation 2 and everything fit just fine . also , if you be worry about the 5-dvd changer ... I have have some in the past that have break , but this one be incredibly smooth and do not glich at all . Superior workmanship . one of the best thing about this system be that you can run anything through the surround sound system . we go to RadioShack and buy some extra cord and be able to connect we VCR and Playstation 2 through the surround sound system . you would not believe the effect this thing produce . it be amazing . when you can not rent something on dvd , you can rent it on VHS and still get the same surround sound effect . there be probably even a way to hook the actual tv through the system , but we have not figure it out yet , or we have not buy the right cord . but it do have a tv option , so I be sure that you could . another thing that I must add in be the amazing quality of video . this dvd system produce crystal clear picture . you can definitely tell the difference between a movie in my Sanyo VCR and a dvd in my Pioneer . also , I use to have a Panasonic dvd player prior to this purchase , and the Pioneer look 10 time better . very clear . great color balance and depth . amazing . Pioneer definitely take a step up with this home theater system . the all around package be just incredible . the $ ... you be spend be definitely worth it . especially since some of the higher price model do not even have many of the feature or sound capacity that this model pack . we already know Pioneer be great with sound , and now the Video capability open up a whole new world of Home Theater Entertainment . +848 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 nice home theater system . at a reasonable price , you get a complete home theater system with blu-ray player along with access to Netflix , Youtube , Pandora etc. . so far , I be loving it . Easy to setup . the sound quality be great even at loud volume . the bass be good too - shake my floor ! Netflix , Pandora , Youtube work well . easily connect to a external hard drive\/flash drive - can enjoy watch video , music , and photo through the portable media . the iPod doc work great too . I would say , for listen to music and watch movie in a apartment , this be a great find . the only feature miss be independent control over the bass . there be a sound effect call `` bass blast '' which can be select , but other than that no control over the range of frequencies\/volume of the bass individually . +276 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 Digital input often produce loud static when you go from hdtv to normal tv . dvd will not alway play unless you unplug the unit and wait awhile before try again . I just hope there be a firmware upgrade someday . I have never be so unhappy with a major purchase . +776 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I have come to find that the `` Whistle '' sound in deed be true but it do not make the noise all the time . just when I first turn the system on , and the volume have to be low . otherwise when the sound be up you can not hear it even if there be no sound come out . -lrb- silence -rrb- if the system have be on for a little while , even if the volume be low , you do not hear the `` whistle '' sound . good product . good sound . for the price , you can not beat it . the option be nice . I like the fact that you can control you ipod from the receiver and see the control on you tv , just remember you do need to have composite connection to you television . otherwise if you have it connect as I first do -lrb- hdmus -rrb- you will not be able to see the ipod control on you tv . you could still listen to it , but you can not control it through the receiver . the video be crystal clear , as it should be . but even if you be not watch a blu ray , the dvd 's be still crystal clear . I will actually be get a different sound system for my live area , but this would be a good in bedroom sound and video set up . decent product , but could be better . for the price , you can not beat it ! +202 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be a very high quality receiver with ample inputs\/outputs -lrb- 4 s-video input ; 3 assignable -lrb- 2 optical , 1 coax . -rrb- digital audio input -rrb- and great audio capability , include Dolby pro II -- a improvement over original that you can actually hear . dvd with Dolby Digital or DTS produce amazingly good sound on this system , although subwoofer can be a little boomy . note that these speaker be unusually large compare to similar price home theater system . check size if you have limit space or prefer less intrusive electronics . -lrb- whole system come in a single box that be about the size of -- and weigh about as much as -- a medium size refrigerator . -rrb- I look a long time and do not find a system -lrb- or individual component for that matter -rrb- that provide combination of quality , feature and price as the ht-s650 . +555 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I want to get a home theater for my bedroom , not that I want it knock my sock off or blow I away , but want to experience the same kind of sensation that I get in my living room when view a dvd or vcd . I buy this re-manufactured , as to not put too big of a dent into my budget -lrb- basically , I be a cheapskate ! -rrb- hooked everything up and I be pleased , first because it work out of the box and instruction be quite clear , with minor exception , which I will get to later . I immediately try a dvd , mp3 disk and vcd , it be all good , view angle , Dolby , FF , fr and chapter seek . very crisp output , video and audio and surprizingly quite resonant . there be some plus and minus , the plus , besides what I mention above . 1 . considerable versatility , couple of additional set of imput for tv and aux -lrb- can hook up my ipod to it -rrb- . 2 . sound option , for VCD and CD , which be stereo , simulated Dolby be available utilize all the speaker output , rather than just the sub and front pair , in stereo mode . 3 . shuffle mode for CD 's . I really enjoy this feature , but it will only do this per disk , not shuffle through the disk to play select song . not a big thing , but it be my first experience with finding shuffle feature on 5 disk dvd\/cd . 4 . remote be lay out quite well and be readable , something that I have have difficulty with on other . 5 . Change disk while one be play , however , you can not get to all of they when you do this , unless you be Houdini . 6 . sub-woofer be awesome for bass and I love bass !! negative : -lrb- minor for most people and the reason I do not give 5 \* 's -rrb- 1 . Speaker wire be not long enough for rear speaker , but this be not uncommon from other home theater that I have help to set up or set up on my own . 2 . external FM antenna be a wire only , although it do work , it look cheap and can not hook up to coaxial cable to utilize other hook up option . 3 . no preset mixer , but tonal quality -lrb- bass and treble -rrb- be available , but you need to go through a bunch of change to reach this menu and video have to present to see what you do , unless you can remember the step . my mind be not a steel trap . all in all , this be better and more than expect , in output , ability , overall appearance , functionality , remote and this guy rock ! heck , I be think of put this one in my living room instead , but think better of it . Engineered very well and well think out . think I be pleased , you be exactly right , if you say yes ! I would heartily recommend this unit to those thinking of diving into the home theater pool . +787 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I puchase this system a few day ago and be quite pleased with its performance . the dvd playback be fantastic - you really feel the surround sound - and the speaker work well . it can get pretty loud too . the only minor issue I have be when I be in `` tv '' mode the sound come out of the rear speaker be pretty low . I have experiement with all of the mode but can not seem to be able to get they up to the volume I would like . this be not a problem when play a dvd or use the radio tuner , however . set up be extremely easy and a complete `` no-brainer '' . great system for a great price . +882 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I buy this Samsung base on the good review on this board , and because I have a Samsung tv . it be replace my $ 99 AMW soundsystem . I be fairly happy with my AMW , but it break after about 6 month . obviously bad quality . I think the Samsung would be ton better , consider it be three time the price ! not so . if the sound be better , I can not tell the difference . one thing be for sure , the dvd player be considerably worse - not only do it skip over most of my dvd-r 's , but it be loud ! yes , the dvd reader be loud when play - if you have the sound turn low , you can hear the laser seek through the disk . annoying as heck . other item be find sub-par : 1 -rrb- no disc memory - if you turn off the player , you start the dvd from the beginning . 2 -rrb- the remote look like it be design in the 80 's . no ergonomics , and certainly not easy to see\/use . it could not even be program to control my SAMSUNG tv . 3 -rrb- it be kind of annoy to have to run audio cable again , consider I already have some in place under my carpet . but samsung be nice enough to put cable attachment -lrb- that serve no purpose -rrb- on the end so they be not interchangable . they be standard wire themselves , so can be reuse with other system if you cut off the connector , but you can not put regular cable on the unit . 4 -rrb- the fan on the back be not too loud , but I \* can \* hear it . I think it be just a little weird to have a fan at the back . since it be not even inside the case , I imagine the skilled engineer at Samsung find that the test system run too hot , so attach this fan to solve the problem . not a big deal , something to keep in mind . 5 -rrb- there be not a lot of menu control that can be adjust for the sound or picture . 6 -rrb- mp3 playback be severely limited and extremely slow . sequential only , and to skip past track mean wait about 3 seconds per song . 7 -rrb- last but not least , there be no fast forward or REWIND . not all dvd movie have good chapter mark , some do not have any . since the player have no memory , you would have to play through the whole movie if you want to get to the part where you leave off . not worth the trouble . this baby be go back ! +418 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I be very satisfied with this product , give it 4 star only because I do not have a lot of comparison . you get a lot of feature for dollar in the $ 300 + range : dvd\/vcr , 5.1 surround , 6 speaker , a multitude of custom setting , auxillary input , component video output , s-video output , progressive scan , mp3 capable , 220 watt of power , and more . I recently have Terminator 3 in the dvd player , and really rattle the room . I have mine hook up with a DISH Network box and frequently play the digital music channel through the surround speaker . I also use the mp3 feature , and have put several of my favorite album on a cd-r in mp3 format and let it spin for hour . the picture quality with CVI output look great . all in all , this be a great value for a theater system , the only thing better would be to spend more and get a 5-disc changer . I be very happy with the purchase . +830 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 solid system for a certain type of person , with a certain type of requirement . I give the one I buy away , but it be cheep and it work ! +204 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 this model have a major flaw . Whenever a CD or dvd be play , a fairly loud high-pitched hum can be hear from the front 2 speaker . at first I though I just have a bad unit . I return it and get another - same problem . I replace that one - same problem . finally I check out the floor model in a retail store - same problem ! the scht95 be unusable - the sound be so loud that it make it impossible to enjoy listen to you cd or dvd . two other problem : the unit get extremely hot and it take a very long time to switch between disc . Panasonic should discontinue this model . +558 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I be happy with this purchase . what a difference from just my tv volume . +69 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 at the store I think this thing be go to be great . I compare this to many other system and it seem to be much better . the one thing that hook I when I buy it be that you have the capability to go wireless . FIRST unfortunately , the bright engineer at Panasonic decide to have the wireless home theater system operate at the same frequency as a wireless home network . so , if you be as lucky as I , do not expect to be on the internet and use you Panasonic home theater at the same time -lrb- assume you have get the wireless addon -rrb- . second this unit do not have any reasonable audio input . very dissappointing . I be not sure that I would have find a better deal , nonetheless I would definitely not have purchase it know what I know now . +722 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 can not find any tech datum for this item ? can not rate this item . +593 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 like the unit i like most sony product easy to setup . wish it have more than hdmus input +813 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I buy two of these unit . brand new . one of they arrive DOA . there be no indication anywhere of any packing damage and everything appear brand new in physical appearance . obviously , not the end of the world , as Amazon will send a new one and\/or refund you , but RCA should not be release doa brand new product , even if they be at rock bottom price ! the unit that be work , so far , seem nice . the speaker be indeed tiny , but the cable be nice and long , and produce a good surround effect . the input be only stereo -lrb- eg just leave and right -rrb- , but personally that be all I need . it come with a remote which can adjust the volume to specific pair of speaker -lrb- eg front pair , rear pair , center speaker , subwoofer -rrb- - this be very useful for calibrate a room . +325 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I like dvd\/vcr combo for simplicity -lrb- one less remote to worry about -rrb- and want a upgrade w\/decent sound quality . the Panasonic scht820v certainly deliver impressive sound quality ! physical setup be easy , the only snag be the discovery that you \* must \* use the include video cable to connect the main unit to you tv as the antenna\/catv cable hookup -lrb- unlike other system -rrb- only pass you antenna\/cable signal to you tv , \* not \* the dvd\/vhs signal . include speaker wire be refreshingly long -lrb- 33 ' for the 2 l\/r ss speaker -rrb- . Picture quality be excellent on a std 36 '' tv -lrb- especially w\/the s-video hookup I use -rrb- and individual speaker delay\/volume be adjustable for personal preference . lot of feature list in the spec so no need to rehash they here but the 5 cd\/dvd changer be nice allow you to store a couple of music cd in the system while still loading\/watching dvd as you want . my only complaint be that the remote be a little complicated\/cumbersome to use -lrb- the manual answer all question -rrb- . I would have give this system 4.5 star because of this but to be honest this be nothing that a little practice will not take care of . I would buy this system again . +984 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 when i first hook it up and test it , it sound a little weak , but i go through the menu and everything be turn down , like the volume for the speaker and subwoofer , once i put it up the sound be amazing , the bass come from the woofer seem like a 100 watt system rather than a 70 . i reccommend this for any room small or large , you will not be dissapointed especially at this price . +109 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I get SO Tired of the ever-spiralling theater ticket ! for the price of a couple ticket , couple Pepsis and a tub of buttered popcorn , you can buy two or three dvd ! no more someone talk over the movie plot ; no someone kick the back of you seat the whole time no matter how many time you ask they to stop ; no stick floor from drop drink ; no eegit scream `` do not go in there , man ! '' or `` what till you see where he kill here '' thus reveal the whole plot because that be the 12th time the saw the movie today !!! no traffic jam or parking on the far 40 ! now you can sit in the comfort of you own home and watch what you want , and if someone talk over a crucial point in the plot ... hey , rewind !! the power of the speaker be amazing , once you experience the range of sound rock you house with Dobey Sensurround you will wonder how you ever do without this system before . be easy to install , love the multiple dvd changer ... you will be able to put all three ring movie in at once and sit back and satisfy you addiction ! couple this set up with a big screen hdtv ... and you will be in movie heaven . Frodo and Aragon will never be the same !! +634 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 get this audio system for you television and you have instant home theater ! it come with a high quality dvd Player and a subwoofer so you have everything you need for a home theater system . it be extremely easy to hook up . three of the speaker have screw terminal which be a much better connection . at 550 watt it be really powerful . this be a great value ! +573 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 flat out the best system at this price . the sound quality be just what you would expect from JBL . have the 5 disc changer make it perfect for party ... . set the CD 's in the player and just let it do it be thing . the compact speaker will surprise most people when they first see the small size , but the sound that come out of they will blow they away . more option than I can even go into -lrb- i. e : DSP imaging , sleep timer , dvd option -rrb- . get it and enjoy . +183 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I buy this system as a Christmas gift for my husband . I be embarrassed to even say I spend one cent on this so call dvd home Theatre System . can you return it ? I do not even see where you can return this item . we will be watch the a dvd and the volume will just go mute . it be very aggravating . if you turn the volume up past one you get blast ! I would not recommend this system . +552 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 the only thing I find wrong with this product I will say up-front . the service by SONY on-line . the only thing this product need be to be ship with either a Digital -- or the optical sound cable and the product would be user ready right out of the box . it take I more time to go through all the option to try to make it give full surround sound to tv and anything play be just so simple with the digital optical sound cable for less than five buck . -lrb- I be on-line with SONY for three hour over two day . no answer fall off-line -rrb- nothing but these two would work -- so say on one of the page of the manual but in parent . the sound from this system be well worth the price and more . I have play old cd 's that have new sound come from they , Netflix 's stream movie come off in surround-sound as well as regular tv -- not cable -- over the air . every thing fall into place with nothing but the reset up of the speaker to do since I move thing around due to the richness of sound . it will keep you turn you head for the sound source -- that come through loud and clear . ok ok ok so I be please with the system -- but I be a hard head -- they do it with the product -- the service suck and I would have ship the proper cabling to make everyone 's experience like my end one -- thank god for optical cable -- the only flaw in a well-worth-the-money system . SONY DID IT -- please ship a cable next time . in addendum -- I be remiss in not say that I have a Blu-Ray disc player with a nero network to my desktop pc . the Sony be to the component port , hdmus for the bd , also have a old tech vcr port in by the vlr port -- all to the Samsung 23 inch monitor tv . all sound come from the SONY -- tv speaker be off . I do try various patch-in -- find these to be the best for I . the unit would work to a degree on any other set-up -- but only with the digital co-ax or the digital optical do it work for all equipment . the key be the tv be the common . love the set-up -- still have not recalibrate the speaker . +716 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I have a little trouble hook it up to the television . I have to call tech support a we get it hook up to my direct tv cable box a it work just fine ! clear sound a everything . +557 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 my current rig as of 1\/2011 : - fluance sxhtb + - jbl es250pbk 400-watt high-powered 12-inch subwoofer - Harman Kardon AVR 2600 Receiver - PlayStation 3 use 1.4 a hdmus cable from Amazon on Linear PCM setting -lrb- not MonsterRipOffs -rrb- I go from Infinity TSS-750 series satellite speaker to these Fluance speaker , and I have to say , they be simply amazing . I can not really compare to any other bookshelf speaker , only satellite speaker . however , I have hear speaker like these in the store and frankly , I could not tell you the difference between these and Polk audio . as for shipping , Fluance be a smaller company and you can only buy the speaker from they , so I be expect a long wait time . ship from Canada -lrb- I assume , since they be base there -rrb- , my speaker be there by the end of the week after order on a Monday . I consider that to be speedy delivery . before order though , I do have to wait for several month because they be out of stock , but I be not ready to buy then anyway . what be include be two bookshelf speaker , a center , and two rear\/sides -lrb- whichever you prefer -rrb- . on Fluance 's website , you can order two more speaker for complete 7.1 audio for $ 39.99 a speaker . the picture do not do they justice . I be go to actually paint the speaker black , as I hate `` wood '' look furniture , but these be a bit darker than the picture advertise they to be . they actually blend pretty well with darker furniture . this come from my wife as well , who do not want to buy these just because she hate the wood look . but she instantly like the darker color they arrive in . set these sucker up be a little new to I . again , I never have bookshelf speaker before , so I do not know I need to have two wire per speaker , but I guess I should have figure that out . after I get they setup , my receiver do all the work as far as configure they , with I tweaking they a bit . now , I buy the subwoofer mention above at the exact same time . that sucker be huge , and pack a nice punch . but after the first day , I turn it off so I could play game at night , and really , I have not use the subwoofer hardly since . my blu-ray and game manage to boom at the appropriate moment , without the subwoofer . often time , I feel like I be use my old subwoofer for bass , just from the speaker . they be not go to rattle window , and tear down the roof , but they be great if you do not want to be too loud because of neighbors\/sleeping wife . the price , the quality , and the look be perfect . if someone break in my house and rob I blind , I would not think twice about buy these again . at $ 299 -lrb- plus about $ 80 shipping -rrb- , these really feel like a steal . everyone that have hear they have be greatly impressed , and I feel if you be plan on get a Polk audio set , consider Fluance as a superior product than they since they sound the exact same and cost way less . +385 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I set this up as a secondary home theater system in my home . although not as detail as my main system , I be very surprise by the sound quality for the price . excellent for movie , but a bit harsh for pure music listen for my taste . the sub could be a little more refine , but it be adjustable . if you be look for decent movie sound on a limited budget , I do not think you can go wrong here . +19 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I eagerly wait for this home theater system when I order it . a lot of the review say people have trouble with the password and the volume or it do not work . however a lot of people also rave about the unit . I receive the unit and it take I about two hour to set it up correctly . first thing it say at the beginning of the manual the password be 3308 and later it say it be 2001 . I can not belive people do not try both number . also people complain that there be real audio level control , but that be cover in the manual under setting -rrb- dynamics . one person say you have to eject the dvd to get this menu , if you read the instruction all you have to do be hit the stop button on the remote twice , everybody who complain do not read the manual , my good friend buy a Zenith surround sound system for $ 400.00 and belive I this unit sound just as good as he . the bass will rumble you stomach and the seperation be fantastic this unit should be sell for 3x the price I love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!! the only thing you need to know be that all the surround setting be turn off at the factory when you get it just follow the manual and you should be ok . +887 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 nine month ago I think I be buy a good value product but now I realize that I buy a bomb ... the whole system stop work with a dvd inside . I could not manage to open the dvd ... worse , the service center that I be call do not work anymore ... do not buy from KLH never ... +694 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 very nice system once you play around and tweak the setting . I buy this to supplement my awful tv speaker . I be a bit annoyed with how high you have to turn the volume up to really hear the roundness of the system . and my biggest problem be the add on speaker Onkyo sks-22x -lrb- center + surround -rrb- I guess this be a problem with Amazon.com not carry the add on speaker . I have be search high and low to locate the add on speaker without luck . and it seem you can only get the add on package from Europe after spend a crazy shipping cost , who want to do that . so I wish Amazon would start supply these add on speaker please . overall not a bad little package for the buck . +958 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 Panasonic SC-HT900 . my Rating : FRUSTRATING I buy this unit new in the box from Circuit City for $ 479 in July 2003 . the good : sleek design for a small cabinet volume . speaker be unobtrusive , they do not hog my living room . hold 5 dvd with progressive scan capability . the Bad : 1 . if a dvd be play , then when any other input be select -lrb- such as tv to check sport score , or FM -rrb- , the dvd player stop and return to the main menu ! that be right , it have no knowledge of where it be in the movie if you either mistakenly or intentionally change the input . 2 . from the remote , it can be put into a mode where no sound come out when play a dvd even though the video portion appear on the tv . select fm or turn the unit off then on will force it to output sound , but again , you have lose you place in the movie . when in this silent mode , other button on the remote do not , by themselves , force audio output . perhaps a sequence of button push will wake the amplifier up , but I do not have the patience to try sequence . 3 . the confusing remote have some button whose sole purpose be to control other component -lrb- if Panasonic provide code for you particular unit -rrb- . the AV System button can turn you tv on but it do not select the tv input on the sc-ht900 . tv\/video can change the video input on you tv , but it do not select the tv input on the sc-ht900 . several button function be shift . you have to hold down the shift button while press another button . this be a three hand operation . one hand to hold the remote , one hand for press the shift button , and one hand for press the desire function . good luck ! the button on the remote be discrete , whereas those on the receiver be toggle . the receiver have disk skip , on the remote you must press disk then a number between 1 and 5 . the receiver have a source Select button that toggle between the 7 input , the remote have 5 unshifted button and 1 shift button for the same purpose . 4 . the amplifier be too weak and fail at normal loudness level . the volume function be calibrate in db from -68 to 0 . at any level above -22 on my unit , the amplifier will eventually fail while watch a movie or listen to a cd . at -20 , this typically take about 45 minute before a loud POP be hear through all speaker follow by a severe decrease in volume . after a few seconds , the volume return to normal . several minute later , another POP be hear , and the sequence repeat with the interval become shorter between pop . I assume my unit be defective in this regard , but I have not want to extract the unit from its cabinet to take it in for service . I play movie and cd at setting -22 and below . 5 . the optical digital input on my unit do not work . no sound be output , although the front panel light be light , indicate that the optical input be select . this input 's sampling frequency for Dolby Digital be suppose to automatically switch between 32 , 44.1 , and 48 khz rate . I have try connect a few optical output device with two new cable . my sc-ht900 do not output any sound when the optical input be select . two other surround system in my home work fine when connect to the same component with the same cable . since it be still under warranty , I be take it to a service center to get item 5 correct if possible . since it take more than a half hour for the problem in item 4 to happen , I do not have much hope of get it fix . since the dvd player and receiver be in the same thin unit , and the amplifier be in the subwoofer enclosure , I have to take both unit to the shop . if they be not repairable , I 'll have to get a new receiver and a new subwoofer . the subwoofer do not appear that it can be drive by a rca jack or otherwise from a standard surround sound receiver . I wish I have consider the interrelationship and marriage of the dvd\/receiver and the subwoofer\/amplifier when I buy it . +458 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I have be use my mx6000 for a while now - pro great sound good look everything work pc link be work well Internet content interesting Photo slide show on tv be great ! my . philip be interesting Cons DivX Streaming should handle above 1.2 MBPS Manual be not so good have to turn on the Component out on via the menu - last review guy do not figure that out - it be in the manual - get to read all in all I would buy again +698 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 unfortunately I can not recommend this Sony product . 3 speaker -lrb- 2 satellite & 1 subwoofer -rrb- system be design to take up less space than the typical 5.1 home theater system while still deliver a respectable surround sound experience . while the Sony dav-x1 be compact in size , it do a surprisingly poor surround-sound imitation on all audio source with the exception of dvd . audio output from all other source sound flat and be sorely miss the rich , full texture that you expect from a quality audio system . spend a few extra buck and purchase a bose 3.2.1 system , the bose deliver much of the home theater performance of a conventional five-speaker system . +142 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be the 5 Koss product I have purchase , they have a lifetime warranty on they headphone , and I have use that warranty and be send a newer , better model , after own my headphone for 3 year . I also have a portable CD Player , Sports\/Armband Radio , a Clock\/CD\/Radio , and a boombox , all of the item have exceed my expectaton , and I have have great customer service . I will continue to purchase Koss item whenever possible . I look at alot of other Home Theatre Sysatems , and be skeptical of this one on price alone , but it far exceed my expectation , and work perfectly . it be also far les expensive that most of the other system I be consider . +994 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I be far from a ` audiophile ' , but I do recognize and appreciate quality sound when I hear it . this system be UNBELIEVEABLE , and I manage to find it on sale @ a mere $ 129 ! I be remodel a large vessel , so ` down-sizing '' be a important word . in the last 4 month , I have be through six system , from Sony , Panasonic , RCA , Philips , and 2 Samsung unit , with price range from -lrb- yes -rrb- $ 129 to over $ 600 . `` Woulda , coulda , shoulda '' - - if I have any idea of the amazing quality of sound , the ease of use , the flawless operation of this 5-disc system , I ` woulda , coulda , shoulum ' scoop up as many as I could have grab . no two hour reading lesson on `` how to use you remote '' or other needless technical stuff . I have have it for 3 week and NOT one flaw ! the other unit I have try have `` eat '' CD 's & dvd 's , refuse to play other , frequently ` skip ' over dvd image , or simply be far too complex to use . the best of the other be also make by Samsung , but with the ` tower ' speaker\/sub-woofer combo it be just too large for use on the boat . but my sister love it ! I enjoy the ` glow in the dark ' feature of the remote -lrb- but it so simple , I now know the ` touch ' by heart -rrb- . I do wish it would continue to play a disc when I want to open the tray to add or change one , but I do not think the ` carousel ' multi-disc system have that capability . a small inconvenience . if - - and I have a sense that be a BIG `` if '' - - I encounter problem with the system , I 'll add another review as I know these be helpful . I be concern about a system at only $ 129 , but I would happily have pay twice that amount for what I get ! ecb - - Ventura , CA `` the spirit of Troy '' +847 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I buy this system for a fairly large room -lrb- 10x20 -rrb- . as it turn out the set-up be not too bad but I now wonder if the transition\/wires run through the system cause the picture to be diminish . if so , I do not think it be too noticeable . regard the sound - it do have pretty good sound . generally , I be happy with the system so I do not return it . I buy it for around $ 200 . for some reason the sound on the system need to be turn up fairly high on many movie . when this happen I do notice a bit of a buzz noise from the subwoofer . the sub be pretty large so keep in mind where you plan on place it . I think in a small room the buzz would be even more noticeable . we do play game on this tv -lrb- via PS3 -rrb- so we have hook up we wius -lrb- need a hdmus converter , which you can find here on amazon -rrb- and we cable . it be a real shame that this system do not hook up directly to the tv and then play everything that be hook up to the tv through the speaker . instead the component must go through the subwoofer for the speaker to work . this be not too much of a problem since it do have 3 hdmus hookup - but a pain if you have more than that . -lrb- we do still use we ps2 but can not use it on this sound system since it be not hdmus and even if we could there be not enough input so we have to connect the ps2 directly to the tv . -rrb- the two small forward speaker be small and work very well . actually they work much better than I expect especially for such small speaker . we be use this sound system on a new panasonic plasma tv that have aquo . this allow the system to `` talk '' to each other . unfortunately , this do not work as well as it should . I would really like it if the tv 's speaker would work with the sound system as another front speaker but the system will not allow that . I do not think I would recommend this system for anything over $ 180 . con : again , keep in mind the input be hdmus -lrb- there be 3 -rrb- , the sub buzz a bit too loudly , and when play movie it seem the sound must be turn up fairly high to hear well , and the system do not allow you tv speaker to work at the same time . pro : fairly easy setup , good overall sound -lrb- especially from the 2 small speaker -rrb- , and 3 hdmus hookup -lrb- this can be a plus if all you need be 3 or less hdmus input -rrb- . +57 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 we buy Samsung 's home theater system . it work reasonably well for a very short while , before the receiver suffer a debilitating hardware fault . Samsung accept that the unit be defective and repair it . eighteen month later , the issue rematerialize , but Samsung refuse to re-correct it - irrespective of the fact that they repair job do not last . numerous call to customer service achieve nothing more than unfulfilled promise that a manager would call we back , and the follow message -lrb- almost verbatim -rrb- : `` due to normal wear and tear , it be unreasonable to expect Samsung product to last longer than 18 month . '' +403 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 pro : 0 . good sound . . though i must confess here that i be no audiophile nor be i musically incline . . but the sound be nice and fairly crisp . . bass . . not that great but at that price you can afford to add a subwoofer later . the speaker take some time to burn in though . . i be initially disappointed but then it seem to improve later . 1 . dvd video . 2 . mp3 support . . the mp3 browsing be rather good too . . not ungainly as be see in some of the dvd player on the market . 3 . radio sound good too . 4 . compact size con : 1 . weird shaped speaker . . stretch octagon ?! 2 . the decibel level doesnt go all that high . . so if you want to blast music maybe this isnt for you . 3 . 4 wire to connect per speaker ! 4 . dont , dont lose the remote . actually , all say and do i like this system . . and for 150 buck i dont think i could get a better one . i can not comment on service though . . havent need it yet . but then its just a couple of week old . +782 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I buy this dvd home Theater system a few month ago . it be not too expensive but then again it be very heavy and large and not well design at all . so if you want it to look good do NOT BUY THIS . another problem I have with my dv-115 be that the dvd 's I play always have a `` break '' in they . this may be due to the change layer but I feel there be often more `` break '' and at different moment in the disc . also at regular interval my player start to slow down . the picture and sound slow down , become slurred and that be not a problem with the disc because change disc do not help at all . so when it work it be a great -lrb- albeit quite large -rrb- system , but I can not rely on it to work properly ... +298 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 work ok for 2 1\/2 month then ... nothing . no seperate ff\/rw button , too few input ... very few output ... poor rear speaker volume ... disappointing ! open and close drawer problematic . I have a 15 year-old JVC 4.0 that work fine ... this p.o.s. go back to the factory . +187 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this be a great all-in-one unit for people who do not want component with wire everywhere . the functionality of the 5-disc changer be excellent . if you load audio cd in the tray , it play the disc all the way through then skip to the next disc . switch dvd be as easy as press a button on the front panel or remote control . the sound quality be better than I expect , honestly . it be not terribly loud , but the quality of the sound be very good . each speaker have a functional tweeter along with its full-range speaker . the subwoofer be strong enough to balance the sound from the satellite speaker and contain the amplifier circuitry . a small fan on the back of the subwoofer spin only when need and be silent . the picture quality be very good as well . a 12-bit d-to-a converter make for smooth video quality . output for composite , s-video , and component -lrb- interlaced or progressive scan -rrb- be available . the dvd player also feature three audio input so you can hook up audio component . two of the input be analog -lrb- rca-type -rrb- and one be digital -lrb- rca\/coaxial-type -rrb- . it would have be nice for a video input so you can switch video source like a game system . this player can play almost any disc . CD , mp3 , divx , dvd , VCD , SVCD , CD-TEXT , mpeg-4 , and other . it handle record media -lrb- e.g. , cd-r , dvd-r -rrb- quite nicely and can be make region-free with the same key sequence as the previous model . this be a very good dvd player if you do not need a lot of volume . +111 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I get this in bestbuy for $ 250 . installation be easy . contrary to what i find on the review , i be able to connect my cable tv to the HT . the only drawback be that it have only one AUX port . so , i buy a 3-to-1 a\/v selector and i can use it with my VCR , Cable and dvd . the sound be perfect for my apartment and it be money well spend . +687 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I purchase this system about a year ago from cc . before buy this unit i be consider Sony , Panasonic and Samsung , but when i go to the store and listen to the sound that this unit could produce i be sell . i live in a Town House and i have this unit set up in my basement . i have to keep my sub into - ve because anything near `` 0 '' wake up my neighbor . : -rrb- the system get strong base and clear sound . if you can still find this home theater system , i will say dont think just buy it . +103 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 purchase the Vizio VHT510 hope I would not have the problem other have have ... 3 day after use , the LED light stop work ... I have read one comment that disconnect the power to the sound bar and holding in the on\/off switch for one minute would correct the problem ... try this and the light work again ... but , the next day , the light stop work again ... try the disconnect bit again and this time it do not work ... so , I call Vizio and tell they about the problem ... I tell the lady I have try the disconnect power and hold down the switch and it do not work ... she ask I to hold and when she come back on line she tell I I have try what they be go to suggest and it appear I have a defective unit and they would replace it ... I ask she if they would replace it with one that work and she tell I she have only hear of one other complaint about the LED light not work ... I tell she `` come on lady , '' do not you people read review on you product ? ... it would appear nine out of ten unit be report defective ... anyway , now I have to play the wait game with Vizio ... what I do not understand be why retailer like Amazon and Cosco continue to sell this defective product know that most the customer be not go to be happy ? ... I should have believe the review and not take a chance on get one that work . +737 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 these speaker be pretty good for they money ... but I think the sound quality could be a bit better ... still , for this price they can not be beat . also do not buy from amozon , they should have these at best buy . +501 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I be not a audiophile , but I have be very skeptical of these small home theter system for many year . they be just so small , especially the speaker , that I could not believe the sound be very good . well , I be wrong . I buy this system because we buy a new television for we bedroom . I have attach some jbl bookshelf speaker to we old set , and they be so nice that I want to use they for the new set , too . well , as I expect , the new tv do not come with external speaker jack anymore , just audio output for amplifier . so , because of the limited space available , I decide to buy one of these system to kill two bird , as it be , by replace the old dvd player with a combination dvd player and Dolby surround-sound amplifier . the set come with 5 micro-speaker , but I use my 2 jbl 's for the front left and right . Easy install . come with mile of speaker wire , so no worry there . right away , the quality of the sound impressed I . good depth , nice separation , and healthy volume . I could probably have do away with the jbl and be just as happy with the micro-speaker , as they be more than adequate . I balance they with the built-in control and be very happy . surround sound be a very different experience from standard stereo , and the 5 channel sound really do enhance movie watch . my only regret be that if I would know how good these small system be , I might have buy one with more power . the maximum volume this system deliver be not go to bowl you over , so if you be look to have the same deafening sound level you find at you local cineplex , move upscale . but I think most people would find this system have more than enough oomph . the subwoofer will do justice to everything from overture to battle scene . I could nit-pick the Zenith dvd player about the clunkiness of the hardware and tiny button on the remote , but overall we be tickle with this little beauty . it make a great add-on to a new tv . +188 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 sorry , but I think the sound quality be only mediocre at best . I be not a audophile , but I do have certain expectation . these speaker be basically just computer monitor speaker . as a result , they be most certainly tinny . do not expect a full , rich sound . for video , this be ok because voice fall into the midrange sound category , but , oh man , can it sound harsh during a action sequence . and if you want to use this as a receiver , the sound quality of musical reproduction may dissapoint . I buy this as a ... vehicle to break into dvd \ surround sound . ... I think I get about as much as could be expect and I be not disappointed - but I get what I pay for . do not expect anything more . just by way of comparison , Radio Shack sell small monitor speaker bracket to hold the speaker up on the wall for $ 30 each -lrb- yeah , \* each \* -rrb- . do the math ; the little bracket cost more than the speaker themselves . this system be fine for the college kid , or the basement `` secondary '' set-up , or the family who just want the dvd \ sense surround without the high quality and accompany price . I also agree with another reviewer that the fan be surprisingly loud and if you listen closely to the speaker , you can actually hear a noise impulse that seem to be consistent with the fan rotation - suggest really poor isolation in the electronics . my two sense worth ... +261 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I purchase this when it be on sale during black Friday week and just recently set it up as it be a Christmas present . . why bother say that , well , I probably should have research a little more before make the purchase , but it be a really slick deal and well , I just go for it . that be say , the number one reason I decide on this particular system be the Wi-Fi `` build in '' option as list in the product description . dongles\/adapters suck . they always have . I do not want one so I buy the one system on sale at that time that say `` build in Wi-Fi . '' well , build in means that the dongle come in the box rather than have to purchase one separately . I think about send it back immediately on principle , but I probably should have do more homework before buy so I just decide to give it a shot . -lrb- I be sure it say `` built-in '' = adapter somewhere else -- like say in the other review here -rrb- first night : set everything up , let software upgrade , wireless work , netflix work . sound great , I mean it , it really sound good for the sale price . . Ok , I think , not so bad , at least I do not need to run more ethernet wire ... Day two : turn it on , go to try pandora -lrb- which be great on this by the way -rrb- I get a error that it could not connect due to `` Network interference '' . . ok check network setting , only `` wire '' be a option . Unplugged and plug in the dongle . . it give I `` wireless '' as a option again but do not recognize any wireless network . . long story short , the dongle fry itself or be just on the edge of self-destruction when it be throw in the box . . I spend WAY TOO MUCH TIME try to get it to work . I would not have spend this kind of time if it be not for the fact that it actually work at first . anyhow , first call to Samsung . not so great . nice enough tech but she final recommendation be to buy another dongle . I stay polite and non-confrontational and just ask if she be sure that this would not be cover by warranty . she say yes . well , ok , I think she be wrong and thank she for she time . I decide to just wire the thing to my laptop and try updates\/see if there be newer firmware\/etc . . also it allow I to try chat support . both time , they be very quick to respond and nice enough . no earth shatter troubleshooting but they do explain how to reset the unit to factory default -lrb- hold down the stop button for 5 seconds while there be no dvd in it . . -rrb- cool . I do that , try the dongle some more . . etc. . no luck so they give I the number to call for tier ii tech support -- -rrb- this number be just the regular customer service number and there be no option for tier 2 in the menu . . ok . . I get another tech and ask for Tier 2 . . she -lrb- Kasey -rrb- say she could try some stuff and ok I go for it . SHE WAS great . I mean it , truly a breath of fresh air in the oft malodorous world of `` support '' . I be perfectly ok with the the win some lose some sort of attitude one must have when call tech support\/customer service for anything . every company have some really good people answer they phone -- -rrb- it be just rare to get someone so good on call 2 . . anyhow , she listen to what I have try , suggest a few thing to rule out error elsewhere , and then just send out a new dongle for I to try . Perfect . . no unnecessary nonsense , and it be good to know that the first tier people you get at samsung be empower enough to actually issue replacement part without have to talk you way up the chain -- you just need a bit of luck for who answer when call in I guess . in the interim , I just run more cable and I have the unit run that way . it work great this way so I doubt i 'll even use the dongle except to maybve see if it just incinerate itself as the previous one must have do . short Version for the rest of the review : feature : five Stars - Netflix , Vudu , Pandora , you Tube , all work great and great quality ! nice . wi-fus : one star - not as advertised - not `` build in '' sound '' four star - very admirable for the price error message : one star - they really be terrible -- there be more I encounter , but say `` Network interference '' as a error message when the unit do not even recognize that the dongle be plug in be just absurd . . they should just say `` error '' for everything as that would be about as useful as the error message that they actually give and at least will not mislead you . coolness stuff : the WLAN adapter port on the back be just a usb port . . this be cool because you can throw a memory stick\/poratble harddrive back there full of pic and a video or whatever and just leave it there out of site . . there be a usb port on the front as well which be design in a way to prevent you from pug in the WLAN dongle in the front . . however , plug a hub into it would allow you to use the front though i do not know why you would want to other than for troubleshooting -lrb- I be test to make sure that it be the dongle and not just the usb port on the back -rrb- more coolness : I have plug three different brand of usb memory stick and 2 different portable hard drive into it and it recognize all of they and allow quick access to music\/pictures\/video etc. . . -lrb- also a network hard drive -rrb- I can not comment on what format it accept , but it seem to have good coverage . . -lrb- though it do not recognize a . wav file -rrb- one big plus , my video folder on my portable hardrive crash window explorer on my xp laptop and on a xp desktop but it do not crash this unit . . nice ! overall , I be very happy with the system now that I have the internet wire . I can not give it more than three star though because it be not really as advertised and the dongle fry itself . if they actually have the wireless build in and it work , it would be five star for sure ... please , please , please Samsung , stop use adapters\/dongles\/whatever ... I know it be a money make thing , but it very nearly result in a return and still would be it not for the other good feature of this product . anyhow , as long as you know that you be not actually get build in Wi-Fi , you should be very happy with this system . +611 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 great system . nice sound . beautiful design . Plays all format you need . Great for play cdr record on my computer -lrb- mp3 , vcd , etc -rrb- . for $ 419 it definetely give you much more than can be expect for this price . this system be all you need for a family room . thank you Panasonic . +82 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 the first product I purchase be the sc-440ht . First off , I could not believe it when the only cable it include be the video cable . it be a especially nice touch how in the manual it say something to the effect of `` for a even better home theater experience , hook you tv up to the system via a audio cable -lrb- not include -rrb- . '' they be webpage originally say that this product upconvert sd dvd 's to 1080us . when it arrive I see it have no hdmus output and be quite confused . if it do convert it , it would be pointless without that output . so when call about the problem , they basically say `` too bad for you , but we 'll fix the whole little false advertisement problem we have on we website ... '' fortunately , the place I purchase it from help I out with get the sc-ht740 ... this product be garbage as well . this did indeed have a hdmus output , BUT , of course , do NOT include any type of HDMI cable . again , all it include be the yellow video cable . another nice touch this manual have , be something to the effect of `` to get a true hd experience and watch you standard dvd 's in hd , hook it up to you tv via a hdmus cable ! ... -lrb- not include ... -rrb- '' any other product I have see come with any and all of the cable you would need for that product , yes , even HDMI ... another problem with both product be that they both state that they play dvd-r , dvd+r , dvd-rw , and DVD+RW , when in fact , they do nothing of the sort . I have try several different brand dvd 's , different brand dvd burner with no avail . they work on every other dvd player I have , even old 30lb out of date one ... but not this `` top-o-the line Panasonic ... '' all of these dvd 's have be finalize and be in video_ts format , so that be not the problem . Panasonic just suck . oh yeah , do not bother attempt to get any online support . for one , navigation on they website be awful . it look simple , but when you click on something to hopefully simply find `` contact we , '' it lead you to la-la land have nothing to do with what you be look for . you click `` customer support '' and it lead you to say ... the webpage for business owner . anyway , when I finally do find a way to send something up -lrb- about two week ago -rrb- they never send anything back anyway . if you be think of purchase this product , do yourself a favor and do not . buy something else . +184 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 the below poster obviously never read the manual or be just naturally ignorant . all you need to do be ... hook audio plug from the back of the receiver to you television . then hook you ps2 into the television . now set the unit on the aux . function and set surround sound mode to party -lrb- even sound on all speaker -rrb- . Ta da surround sound with ps2 and xbox or whatever else . anyway , I have find this to be a great system . I do alot of research before buy this unit . for I , I do not want to spend much over $ 200 for a home audio system without a dvd player or $ 300 for one with a dvd player . since I do not have a dvd player -lrb- minus my xbox -rrb- I decide on this unit . the picture and sound quality for dvd be great . it really get you into the movie . as with any television or home audio system ... take the time to read the manual . the stand be weighted nicely and will not fall over unless force . also the radio feature be something I be highly interested in , for listen to college game when they be not on tv . another nice feature be the universal remote include . basically eliminate the need for have 3 different remote just to watch a movie . one remote control the tv , dvd , and surround sound ... not a decision make factor , but still nice to have . I can not say I have find a downside to the system as of yet . for the price range I think this system be top of the line . good luck ! +48 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this system blow they off . I really do not expect the kind of performance out of such a small package . I immediately notice a improved picture from the progressive scan dvd . the sound have good clarity and plenty of power -- people at the other end of the house can hear the sub . what I like : - sleek silver design to the case and speaker - include VHS & DVD\/CD - nice big volume knob , not a push button what I do not like : - remote be confuse , especially navigate a jillion tiny button in the dark . +583 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 at least I be review the system in question and not the sc-ht700 or another Panasonic system with a VCR , as two of the other reviewer do . I have have this system for 2 year now , and I be quite happy with it . it be be very reliable . sound be decent , for what it be : a home theater in a box . sound option be good : Dolby digital , Prologic , ability to accentuate the center channel , equalizer , etc. . it be not for audiophile , but be quite adequate for my ear . Recording on DVDs and DVD-RAMs be better than my old VCR recording -lrb- duh -rrb- . the flexible recording option be nice , as the machine optimize compression base on the set recording time . I now use the system to record off my dvr so that I can unload the hard drive , and it work well for this , produce compatible dvd . it have a satisfactory number of input : I have off-air and satellite tv , VCR , and network music stream hook in , and my son use the front input for some game . overall , a good system for the price . +104 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 you get a tremendous amount for you money here . 6 speaker -lrb- all pre-wired -rrb- , a remote control , and one rca cable for connect one accessory . sound quality be adequate , but will not blow you away . the remote be where some of the most important function be . it have power ; master volume ; individual volume control for center , front pair , rear pair , and subwoofer -lrb- allow some adjustment of bass relative to the more treble-heavy small speaker -rrb- ; input source ; `` channel '' -lrb- switch between 5.1 surround sound and 2.1 stereo with subwoofer -rrb- ; mute ; and reset -lrb- take you back to nominal setting -rrb- . subwoofer\/amplifier measure 9.5 inch tall x 7 '' wide x 12 '' deep . five speaker be identical in size at 4 inch tall x 3.25 '' wide x 2.75 '' deep . +909 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I like how this soundbar look and be a very clean package . I have not have any led light issue and it work fine with my 64 inch samsung plasma , , , sound be very good , , bass and sub be respectable , , i love the no mess wireless sub and rear speaker , , , over all a great buy for the $ 250 i spend on it . +376 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I recently upgrade from a ~ $ 300 Sony htib -lrb- home theater in a box -rrb- system to this and I have be very satisfied . I be look for a system that be a step up from the $ 200-300 htib but below the super-expensive system that you build yourself use those big tall receiver use by hardcore av enthusiast . this bose system fit the bill exactly . since I mainly use the system to watch blu-ray movie and do not listen to any music and do not own a ipod , the t20 be perfect for I . I have hear that bose be criticise for be overprice and gimmicky by hardcore av enthusiast , but I be not a sound expert and I can only judge a system by how it sound to I . I must say this system sound pretty sweet to I . one of my biggest fear prior to purchase this system be that , not be a audiophile , I will not be able to tell the difference between a $ 200 system and a $ 2000 one . thankfully , the difference between this bose system and my previous $ 300 Sony system be obvious and clear . the sound on the bose be signficantly crisper and just ... `` better '' than my old system . when I be watch a blu-ray , the surround sound be awesome , and the bass be rich and deep . when I be play a xbox 360 game now , the surround sound make it feel like a entirely new experience . I be currently play Fallout New Vegas and I love that I can hear footstep behind I , etc. . although my old Sony system be technically 5.1 surround , the rear speaker be always too soft and the quality be not that good , and I just do not get the same level of immersion . I feel that I know what I be get for that extra money . many have comment at how user-friendly and easy this system be to set up with the Unify system . I must concur . even with Unify , it be physically a chore to set up a 5.1 theater system , but Bose 's exceedingly well-designed and user-friendly interface make it as painless as possible . I do have one brief scare when I could not get sound out of my tv when watch network tv use a optical cable , but then I discover I have plug it into the wrong hole on the bose system -lrb- the bose system have two optical in , one for the tv , a extra one for something else , make sure you plug it into the correct one -rrb- . after set up you system , the use of the device be again very intuitive for the most part . I can tell that a lot of care go into the design of the user interface , and I appreciate it . my one gripe be that I wish the system have a display screen on the main receiver so that when I be watch antenna tv I can more quickly switch the bose t20 to the `` tv mode '' . as it work now , I have to first switch my tv to hdmus mode so that I can `` talk '' to the bose and set the bose to `` tv mode '' , then switch the tv back to antenna\/tv mode . it would be great in future system if there be a display screen on the receiver state which mode I be in , allow I to switch the bose to the tv mode without have to ever put the tv to hdmus mode . my old Sony system have that capability . aesthetically , the system also deserve praise for be sleek , beautiful , and well-designed . the speaker be all suprisingly heavy and solid , and feel like they be make with quality material . someone complain about the remote be too `` heavy '' , but I think the remote just feel like a quality remote . the Acoustamass module likewise have very good build quality . the bottem line be that nothing in the entire system feel cheap , and when guest come over , you will be proud to display you bose system . other than that small gripe , I be exceedingly satisfy with my purchase . I be even happier that bose be a american brand , and I be delighted own a sound system design by american -lrb- even if the product be assemble in Mexico lol -rrb- . if I can not buy american-made , at least I can buy american-designed . hopefully my money support some homegrown engineer . now if only a american company would release a decent hdtv . +162 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I purchase this system from another retailer last Christmas . the first 3 or 4 time I use the unit , it work great . after that , with dvd , the screen would randomly go black . after restart the unit , it start work again for about 5 min . I decide to use it for radio in another room . after about 2 use for this , the unit would emit a loud ` pop ' through all the speaker and then lock up , it would not respond to the remote or button on the front , even the power button . unit would then be reset only by unplug it . through the vent in the top I could see blow capacitor and small burn mark on the board . I contact customer service and it take almost 6 week to hear back . I send it back -lrb- at my cost for shipping -rrb- to have it repair . 2 month later I get a replacement unit -lrb- serial number be different -rrb- . it work for about 8 hour and then the sound would randomly fade out and back in . I contact customer service again and after 2 week have a reply with a shipping label to send back . 2 month later I get the unit back -lrb- again a new one -rrb- . after about 10 hr of use , its do the same same thing with the sound fading . I find that this issue can be resolve by let the unit sit for about 2 week between use , then it will work for about 20 min before the issue come back . I will never purchase another rca device again , the customer service be crap and after 3 different unit , still have the same problem . and since have the unit for about a year , have only be able to use it about a 12 time . I finally go out and spend $ 500 on a good lg lhb535 . no more problem . all in all , the RCA unit be garbage and the only good thing with it be the speaker work fairly well . so basically you be spend $ 100 for decent speaker . +824 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 after wait for 2 month , my system be deliver late September , and since then Movies and Music hav not be the same . I personally think it have a Veryclosesound to the bose system that the other reviewer mention . it be far superorto Sony 's DAVS300 Home Theater , i mean a 120 watt sub to a 30 Watt , that no comparision . the only thing that dissapoint I be that the 6 Channel Amp do not support DTS , all though the 5.1 Dolby Digital do still sound fantastic through the compact sattelite speaker , i have have my system at full volume and there be not one little bit of distortion . another bad thing also be that the CD player do not read CDR 's which be a slight dissapointment , the Sound Field Control -lrb- SFC -rrb- which feature Heavy , Disco , Live , Hall etc. . each of they do not sound different at all , whether that a problem with my system or not ? the Sub-Woofer when set to sw 4 be very powerful with enough Bass to blow down you front Door ! the 5-disc changer be a great idea but a little slow in change disc -lrb- 11 seconds from disc1 to Disc 5 -rrb- when play back Music Cd 's the System automaticaly respond , produce such a high quality which match my Brother 's Denon and Polk Audio $ 5000 System . even watch a Video -lrb- HI-Fi -rrb- sound great fill the room with the Dolby Pro-Logic . so do yourself a favor buy this Fab Home Theater , even though you might have to wait a little while I would give it 10 star if i could +809 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 even thouth it say it be a receiver . it be not . you can not hook up you cable tv to it and use the speaker . you can only use the speaker if you play a dvd or listen to the tuner . it be not a true theater in a box as it say . I will be send it back . +133 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 Pretty cool system . remote functionality could be tweak abit with Samsung TV remote , and cable tv . when you place a dvd or cd , and open system it always switch to dvd or cd mode . this be a pain when you watch a play-off game . over all I be pretty satisfy . +618 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 to the gentleman , who be use this overseas . on region 4 ... i be sure you can get someone to change you region code . for you location . if you cant , the imformation be on google . I cant tell you where for obious reason ... option 2 purchase a all region dvd player , yeah i know its a pain ... ! May i recommend the pioneer dvd player model 383 . available on amazon u.s.a. ... good luck i hope this help ... I dont own this model , but use a high end dvd recorder by phillp . +912 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 this be pretty much a soup up dvd player . take you standard dvd player and add : amplifier , speaker , am\/fm tuner . and that be what you get extra for you extra -lrb- money -rrb- . the sound be good for the price . the mp3 player be frustrating . yes it do play you song , but they navigation be non-existant , neither be shuffle or other interesting -lrb- and standard -rrb- way to control the playing of the song . the dvd player feature be same as you can find in any cheap player . for I the two real advantage of this system be : price , and have many component integrate under the same remote control . +923 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I have be want a home theater system for a long time and this one be a great first choice . the instruction take a little longer to digest through than I think they would , but within 2 hour everything be set up , adjust and I be watch a dvd . Great for someone who already have a dvd player they like and only need the basic system . I live in a apartment and the sound be fantastic . +67 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this be a very good system for the price . the sound quality be pretty good and the dvd player be top notch . hook up be very easy and and system come with easy to install wiring . the manual be pretty weak so be prepare to learn the system on you own by trial and error . there be certainly better sound system out there but you will not find they in this price range . this be a very good value . +860 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be my first venture into home theater and I be very pleased . have purchase a Rio portable music player a few year ago , and be impress with the quality of that unit , I be hopeful that this system would reflect the same quality of design and construction . so far I have find this to be absolutely true ! i buy this system to replace my own system I have cobble together over the year . so I be able to replace my stereo receiver , cd player , vh player , dvd player , and two set of speaker , all in one suprisingly compact unit . setup be easy and fast . I appreciate the l-o-n-g cable provide by the manufacturer . some unit I have see only come with 10 foot cable . the manual be very well write and easy to follow . within a hour I have make all of the connection , place the speaker , and program all of my cable station -lrb- auto - search -rrb- and fm radio station . so far the unit have perform without a hitch . I like the variety of sound setup , include prologic , which be something not find on many lower-priced -lrb- and some high-priced -rrb- unit . it even have a feature to program delay on the speaker to customize it to you exact room configuration -lrb- incredible ! -rrb- . the remote control be not overly cluttered , and be well lay out . it do not however , control the power on\/off for my tv set . so I have to keep that remote handy . it do not light up either , which would be useful at night . I replace a apex dvd player which have horrible search and control feature . this dvd player control be much more intuitive and straightforward . the only shortcoming for some might be the passive subwoofer . it be fine for I , but if you want really booming bass , better to get a power subwoofer . overall , this be a quality unit that be well think out by the mfgr . it have the most feature and power I have see on a unit in this price range . +219 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this product come complete . I be a bit hesitant to give it as a gift not know for sure the sound bar be include , but once it be open and install , we be all very pleased with the result . +257 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 once again Amazon deliver a great product on time . at first I be skeptical about the sound bar , but once I set it up -lrb- which be very simple -rrb- and turn it on I be quite impressed with the sound quality . I be glad I get the model with the 2 small speaker . this set up be in we family room whi be 15ft . by 23ft . I currently have a Zune HD hook up to the system also and all sound great . I be quite satisfied with this product . please note that I be not a expert on sound system but for the intended use this system be more than adequate . +885 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 sound great ! there be many setting to pick from so learn how to use each of they can be somewhat confusing . can not beat this sound or this price ! Money well spend . +87 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 need something to compensate for my Samsung lcd 's less than ideal acoustic . simple to setup , unobtrusive , great separation , rich complex timbre . yes , the light indicator do stop work after a few day , but so what ? you listen for sound change , rely on visual signal be redundant . +916 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 well , I would like to warn everyone about a serious -lrb- in my view -rrb- shortcoming of this system , which to I come as a big surprise . I be not a tech junkie , so I do my research in mainstream media - Consumer Report , Amazon etc. . . and I have not see this emphasize anywhere - there be no Optical \/ Coaxial Audio Input ! well , I do not know what it mean , but now I do - you have to connect you cable box to the system via regular red\/white cable . thus , if you have a digital cable where many tv program -lrb- movie , football , etc. . . -rrb- come in 5.1 , you can not get the full 5.1 out of home theater . only when you watch dvd or listen to cd . now , I be not a tech person , and I love several thing about the system - very easy to set up , one unit do dvd and VCR , etc. . . it play dvd great , both video and sound . yet , unless someone can explain to I how to overcome the above mention shortcoming , I be plan on go through the hustle of packing everything back and return the item . another warning - customer service be not very helpful , in respond to question on set up the system . best of luck ! +888 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 to start , I be very familiar with high-end home theater system , as I have spec would and install system from modest-budget system to $ 16k system . I personally own a fairly nice home theater\/music system . I buy the Koss base on other customer review for a friend who just recently move into a studio apartment . for approx . $ ... , I be truly astounded by the decent quality of the audio and video . the vocal be clear and intelligible . it perform acceptably well for those Hollywood `` WOW '' action scene . stereo playback of CD 's sound far better than anything else in its price range . can it compare to system cost thousand more ? no. . but it certainly hold it be own to system cost hundred more . installation be simple . after break open the box , I have the whole system connect and place in 10 minute . the connection be all well-labeled and color code . the satellite speaker even come with thread to accept placement use any off-the-shelf universal wall-mount , which be how I setup the surround . remember , this whole audio system , include integrate amp and tuner , cost less than many dvd player alone ! so what be my nitpick ? well , system setup of the speaker be bury in the on-unit menu system , and set the clock be a pain because I have to dig through the manual to find the direction , which end up be slightly confusing . as with all system , to make the most out of its capability , speaker\/sub placement need to be carefully do , especially with the limited capability of the `` sub '' to ensure that it do not sound too boomy . when compare to a class higher in quality , the sound be too accentuate in the midrange , while the bass could do with considerably more articulation and the high could be more detailed . though overall , especially consider the price , I can not imagine a better home-theater\/music system value for $ ... a very surprising 5 star !! +622 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be God himself . Make no distinction about it . I have hear from many so call `` Audiophiles '' -lrb- basically a bunch of loser who think earth shatter bass and big ball be all there be to life -rrb- that bose product be a waste , they be useless , they be over price , blum , blum blum and the work . that be until i enter the Bose Store in Uptown , Bangalore , with my Pink Floyd dvd . once it start play `` shine on you crazy diamond '' , time stand still . believe I . no one move for another 6 min , and that be the power of bose , my friend . it be just different . it be just too good . it make a clear distinction between hard bass , and depth bass . you get clarity and the depth of music be amazing . this be for the true connosiuer of music . audiophile include . i suggest life isnt complete without a bose . when u die , eventually , u will carry the musical tone in ur immortal journey to another world . p : listen to Cafe Del Mar Vol .7 and Buddha Bar VOL 4 cd1 , when it be rain and be cold outside . u will experience bliss . u will experience a high that will put crack and extacy to shame . this be life . this be why we all live . eventually help ur soul get liberate , by the bose . Jesus be not do it man . bose do . +944 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 Staticy \/ teapot whistle constantly . do not support blu ray live on any disc I have try . Netcast be nice and work well , but I buy this primarily for sound and that it do poorly . +956 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I buy this system for my bedroom and it be unique from all the other `` home theater in a box '' system that I could find in that it have a component video input . I need this because my cable box support hdtv through component cable . the Samsung provide this feature with its `` digital in '' input selection and nicely pass through the component video throught its own component video output . I do not need or want the dvd changer but the lesser Samsung model leave out the component video input . I find use the changer a little bit of a hassle to insert and remove single dvd and it seem slower than use a single tray . the speaker be nice and small and that be what I be look for . the microphone to auto-balance the sound be a really nice feature and work well -lrb- it be all automatic -rrb- . I do not have any real opinion about the sound quality of the unit and speaker -- it seem fine to I but I be not good at evaluate sound quality beyond verify the 5.1 sound . the wireless rear speaker be a interesting gadget and do remove one set of wire from the unit to the rear . this really do not matter much to I -lrb- my unit be place against a side wall so run the wire across the floor be not horrible -rrb- . I do notice that there be some periodic interruption of the rear sound even within the small size of my bedroom . I rotate the receiver and it seem to make it go away during the sound test . I ultimately return this unit because it be incompatible with dvd-rw that I record from my Tivo in a different room . I be pretty surprise that such a new unit would have this incompatibility -lrb- I have see some older computer laptop have the same problem -rrb- . because of this , I have to attach a separate dvd player and this defeat the advantage of the small , all-in-one unit . I also could not take advantage of the component output of the dvd since there be only one component video input on the unit . since it do not upconvert composite video i also have to change the tv input when I switch between cable hdtv and play my dvd-rw . so for I it be just a lot of trouble . I give up on the idea of a combined unit and get a separate a\/v receiver with a separate 5.1 speaker set . more cable , more component to stack . +270 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I just receive this theater system yesterday and it be wonderful . I find it very easy to setup , the direction be very easy to follow and understand even if you be not electronically incline . plus the manual be not a 100 page book you have to read to learn how to run the system . < br \/ > < br \/ > I love the design of the system also . Panasonic make the dvd 5 disc changer look really cool by make the front of it look like a mirror . also around the volume knob , it glow with blue light when you turn the system on . the speaker be silver and have a nice design . the tall -lrb- long -rrb- speaker be the front speaker and the smaller one go in the back of the room . the nice thing be that all the speaker be capable of hang on the wall . also , pole that be attach to the tall front speaker -lrb- as show in the picture -rrb- can be use for the back speaker instead if you like . so there be option with this system . < br \/ > < br \/ > the performance of the system be amazing and at the price I get it for , you can `` t go wrong . the dvd player be quick when change disc and quiet . there be also a lot of setup option . you can ajust the subwoofer level from the remote , many different picture view , sound setting for cd 's , and speaker adjustment to name a few . also , there be ton of input for you extra device . I have the VCR and 3 game system hook up to it . I also like the fact that it have the option for component cable hook up for the tv . I buy some of those cable last night and the picture do look better . I love the subwoofer . it be pretty hefty but definately worth it . there be 4 different bass level you can set it on and it be POWERFUL . I put in the chronicle of Riddick and it shake the floor and my cat hide for the rest of the night . you have to be careful though . I live in a apartment and the bass can be hear clearly and heavily outside the apartment and I do not have the volume up very loud at all . but with the subwoofer adjustment , you can find a setting that work best for you . < br \/ > < br \/ > I suggest this product for everyone . it work so great and it be such a good value for the money that I be tell all my friend about it . +838 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 have to buy a power sub to be able to listen to this system . the 7 year old , 500 watt philip system that be replace by this one sound MUCH better . +126 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I connect this system to a Hitachi 43 inch wide screen hdtv and I have to say I be impressed . first let I say that this be by no mean a $ 10,000 dollar custom home theater system , but for a decent size room it be all you gonna need and more ! it come with 5 good speaker for surround sound , they be pretty heavy and appear well build . the sub be not power , but kick out 100 watt . it be plenty to shake the wall ! the progressive scan 5 disc dvd player be a steal on this system . it be get component out which give you the hdtv quality dvd picture . \*\*\* make sure your tv CAN ACCEPT COMPONENT video \*\*\* if will have 3 color connector on the back . the reciever push a total of 600 watt . it be get more plug than you 'll have wire to connect to it . there be plenty of adjustment that can be make to the sound , which be always nice . in short , this be a great higher end system -lrb- relatively speak -rrb- and come through with what you think you would get from a $ 600 plus system . it rock . -- a few quick note -- you may want to buy monster cable with this , as the wire they give you be not long enough -lrb- for rear speaker -rrb- and do not supply official component wire . ask you store rep what you need . I suggest the `` monster home theater in a box '' pre-packaged set -lrb- around 30 buck -rrb- and the component wire . secondly , many people will tell you that a `` home theater in a box '' like this one be no good . they may correct when talk about system between 1-400 dollar , but once you over 500 you get into some very sweet system . I go to ... and hear everything form the low end sony to the expensive bose system . the Kenwood be the best sound most feature rich that I come accross . now you can not compare a Kenwood to a custom make klipsch set that get into the thousand , but TRUST I a system like this will impress you ! and ... I have hear that the Sony dvd dream system -lrb- for the same price as the kenwood -rrb- be not much of a system . it be build more around look and a dvd player than the actual sound . it claim 500 watt , but sound too light for most taste . you probably pay more for the name and how `` pretty '' this thing look more than the quality . I love sony , have a 36 inch WEGA , but this time I would advise stay far far away from dvd dream !!! Hope this help and good luck ! +514 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I 'll keep it short . it be small , sound good and look good . hdmus pass through seem to work fine for I . I order a 3d tv , so I 'll wait and see if it pass 3d just fine . although it do say 3d capable on the box . my only complaint be why be my remote in japanese ? I be able to figure out what all the button be because half of they have label in english too , and the other half i just hit and see what they do . all the other documentation and manual be english , guess they just put the wrong remote in the box . oh well I 'll live with it just find it odd . +560 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I do not know what the negative review be all about as far as the Wifi be concern . I stream Netflix , Hudu , the free game and everything else with ease . quite possibly they have defective internet and that be the problem or they do not have the wireless adapter but you can also direct wire the system with the ethernet connection . I have never have a problem and highly recommend this product to anyone that want a true home theater experience . +340 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I must say I have have a very , very bad experience with this paticular home theater system and Sony . I can not actually rate the system because I have yet to use it . I receive this system the end of October and after spend several hour put it together be only able to play two dvd 's . after that I could not get a picture . I then spend several hour over the phone with they help desk and after we exhaust every possible solution I be tell to send it back , which I do . when I finally get it back I hook it up and it still do not work - again have to spend considerable time exhausting possible solution on the phone with the help desk . I be ask to send it back yet again and also tell I would not be get a new dvd player but a return or refurbish one . I find this unacceptable and due to the fact I have have to waste my time and money I would never purchase any Sony product from here on out . +206 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 set up could not be easier ... right out-of-the-box . assembly be simple and connection be clearly describe . if you have the Panasonic HD tv with arc and Blu-Ray , no problem . you will need to have 3 hdmus cable : -lrb- 2 -rrb- output - from you cable box or satellite box and disc player to the subwoofer and one for the output from the subwoofer to the ARC connection on you tv . no arc ? check out the other review . the sound be a amazing improvement from the tv speaker . watch avatar on Blu-Ray and the sound and picture just blow I away . if you have a small to medium size room , this system be for you . no hesitation on the 5 star . +437 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 after own this system for a few month , I can say for sure this be a wonderfull home Theatre System . the purpose for which it be intend be for Home Theatre specifically -lrb- movie -rrb- , and not for Home Audio . never the less , it be quite nice for music application , depend upon the recording , as it be a digital system . with older recording , and those not surround enable , the bass may be quite inaccurate , sometimes almost non existant . it be a tremendous help if the recording be surround enable , even when in stero mode . I recently have a chance to audition the highly tout ht-s760 . that system have larger woofer cone on the front speaker , and do have more bass kick , but the speaker cabinet be of a much lower quality . thinner , lighter , more resonant , produce a tone less dense and detailed than the ht-s670 , so the tradeoff be not worth it . the ht-s770 have the larger 5.25 '' woofer on the front , but I have not hear it , and it be more expensive . the best solution be of course to add good floor standing speaker to the alternate b speaker set on the receiver . that be why there be a alternate b setting . because this be not specifically a audio system . this be why I feel some of the more critical review of this system be a little disingenuous . for it be intended purpose , it be tremendous , and can be easily add to for better , more accurate audio reproduction without a large cost . this I feel would be necessary even if you purchase the ht-s770 , from what I have hear from owner . the subwoofer stand in a pedestal configuration on both system , with the LFE bass be pump down to the bottom platform for dispersion . the effect with movie if unbelievable . rolling thunder so real you 'll look outside . explosin , shudder , suspense build , incredible . it be not mean to kick and punch as with audio application . if you add speaker , make sure the sub be not active on the b setting . I have not add yet , but if it remain active , just shut it off . I assure you , audio will sound better and more accurate without it . to summerize , this be a great buy for around $ 300 . I pay exactly $ 337 ship from 6th ave , and they have superb sustomer service . much better than Onkyo itself . I know , I talk to both of they . almost all the 6th ave guy be record engineer in trade , and musician . they answer pile of question I have kindly , in steep contrast to the tone and attitude I receive from onkyo level 1 support people . that be as far as I have the patience to go after the initial rigamarol , so I can not speak for there higher level support . they 'll also beat any online price . additionally , I would not worry to much about the debate of 5.1 as oppose to 6.1 surround . the sat be up high so that the ear will be fool , and will not be able to pinpoint the exact location of sound withe the cross soundfield . this be also true with 6.1 , and my feeling be the difference be not so signifigant unless you be spend a lot of money on a thx certify system . at this price range , it be just not a big deal . one final additional note . if you be look for a dvd\/cd player for this or any other system , I would highly recommend the Philips dvp642 . I spend many hour research player . there be a site title dvd player compatability list . it have just about every player ever make , past and present , with worldwide product review and comment . I look at just about everything ever make , no kidding . literally thousand of make and model from over the last two decade , and of all highly rate and currently available , this be the one . 8.4 out of 10 rating out of 250 review wordwide . extremely high , as almost no product reach a 9 rating , particularly with so many review . I just buy 2 more as Christmass present , in addition to the one I own . I spend $ 64 per unit with shipping . Plays more format than any player on the market , include Divx . component , s Video , composite video out with progressive scan . Digital Coaxial , toslink fiber optic and analog audio out . Super slim . weigh almost nothing and can fit anywhere . my older tv only have composite input , and the picture be beautifull . one owner comment that Component Video with progressive scan cause he some problem with picture artifact , so he keep it in interlace mode , but he still give it a high rating give it be cost , and a high picture quality rating as well . I can not comment on this , because I do not have the component option at this time . give the cost , it be a hell of a deal either way . also , I have hear it have be upgrade several time since the date of that gentleman purchase , and can be bio upgrade easily at home , though I would never do that myself . I be just not that savy . I be a techno moron , but maybe you be savy like that . this player be make to be easily set to region free so you can buy dvd 's for it anywhere in the world if you do a lot of travel . I do not , but maybe you do . if you be wonder what would be a good match , trust I . get it . there be a bunch of site that carry it . I have buy from 2 different site . both be good , but shippment go in and out fast , so you might have to try a couple to see if it be currently in like I do . again , hope this help you . Ge +303 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be great sound system . if you have a large living room installation , it be not right for you , however . get the next system up from Sony with the power sub-woofer . that say , if you be go to be use this system in a average size den or entertainment room -lrb- like , say 12 ` x15 ' or 15 ` x15 ' -rrb- or bedroom , it be perfect ! the system have work flawlessly for I . installation be the easiest I have ever do , thanks to Sony 's make all connection color-code . the remote be easy to use and the dvd player have present no problem . I have a speaker that do not sound right to I , I call Sony support , and they send I a replacement speaker and a call tag for the suspect one , all by next day air !! +369 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 this so call home theater system do not have a dvd player or even a VCR . how can they call it such ? +636 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 the system work well for the first two week or so ; after the return deadline expire , it start skip while play my ipod . that problem have grow and include the FM radio , too . I wish it malfunction earlier ... kind of upset that the return be not go to get much of my money back . +651 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 receive a 2 part order in 5 day , nice service . System be easy to install & plenty of speaker wire be supply . put in a surround sound movie & be blow away with fantastic movie Theater sound . excellent product . +411 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I have have my eye on this package for many month and when I see it drop below $ 200 recently , I decide it be time to give it a try . what a great package and value at this price . I be use it in a 12 ` x12 ' bedroom with a 32 '' hdtv and it be just great . the sub\/amp be small and easily hide and the front work well on either side of the tv . sound quality be good , but probably not as good as a bose cinemate system . it definitely get distorted at high volume and be best for home theater and medium-level music listening . at 1\/4 the bose cinemate g price though , you be get more than 3\/4 of the sound quality and feature . this can be turn into a full 5.1 system with the addition of a center channel speaker and two rear speaker . for small room though , that might be overkill . the 2.1 system work well especially for clearly produce dialog for movie . the hdmi-cec link feature be very nice and may allow you to use you tv remote alone . I do not have it setup perfectly yet , but be please with this feature and not have to deal with another remote . the quality be good and it be sharp look . have it do all you hdmi-switching with up to three input be another plus . +745 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I should have read these customer complaint before purchase the Toshiba sd-43ht about a year ago . I be now end up with `` hello...protection...good-bye '' Club . this `` protection '' problem keep dvd automatically shut off every time you try to turn it on . the bottom line be do not waste you hard earn money on a company who do not care about they reputation . +966 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 the subwoofer be nice , the speaker be not good , have already relaced mine with another brand , at the moment the receiver be not work , it cut off after 5 minute . I will probably have to have it repair and I have have it 2 month , I be very unhappy with it . +index Domain Label Rating Review +68 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 purchase this soundbar to eliminate the lousy tv speaker of my 50 inch panny and the Yamaha deliver . Sweeeet ! do not want to hook up wall speaker and rear speaker to create surround sound so I decide on the Yamaha soundbar and I be not disappoint at all . very clear center channel so that the movie dialog be very crisp and the integrate receiver\/subwoofer just make it so clutter free . Easy install -lrb- Cable box\/PS3 Blueray player via hdmus and optical cable for Panasonic web app like Pandora , Netflix , etc. make it enjoyable to watch or play game . would recommend this to anyone look for a great soundbar for the price . get it as a Deal of the day purchase so I would recommend wait until it be on sale if you do not want to pay full price . +541 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 do not buy this player if you be consider it . it be nice for a couple of year but the dvd player Optical pickup unit -lrb- which from what I have read , commonly go out on Panasonic -rrb- be fail . it be nice to get everything in one package but I recommend not get a amp and dvd player in one case due to the heat issue . and I be now in the process of replace this unit with Sony component -lrb- I should have do from the start ! -rrb- +182 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be a great sound system for the price . I buy it for my new Panasonic 60 '' plasma TV & be very happy with it . my old RCA home theater do not have great sound & be complicate to use . this one be so simple & have great sound . I be concern when I order it because it be go in a large room & do ` nt know if it would be enough without additional speaker . it be great ! +936 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 take 5 minute to set up and for the price this system be outstanding , I be not sure I do the right thing when i click to buy but I be glad i do . rca be a good value and now im think about a new tv and rca have some nice cheap large model so I be now consider a rca base on value and quality . get this system . ITS great +960 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 package arrive in bad shape . be worried . however content be all fine . setup relatively easy except rear speaker too a couple of attempt to get they work . otherwise rather impressed +150 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this be a rebound system for I as I be burn with my previous one . after a easy set-up , the first thing that hit I be the amazing quality of the picture . I have read some good and bad review for this system , but nobody bother to mention the picture . with component cable and run progressive scan , hook up to my projection hdtv , the picture be amazing . this be with out a doubt the best dvd player , picture-wise , I have ever have and I have have many . I have read several people complain about the sound , but it sound great to I -lrb- although I must admit , I be not a hard-core audiophile -rrb- . Sony have make this as user-friendly as possible and as a result , they sacrifice all but the most basic fine-tuning capability . however , it do offer you the choice of several pre-set `` sound-field '' . you be bind to find one that suit you need . the remote have button devote to this function so as you be switch from action movie to drama to music cd , you can easily adjust the sound to match . a minor complaint would be that , while cool , the slot-loading disc loader be a little slow . however , the `` coolness '' factor and the overall design of the system more than make up for this . personally , I could not be happier . thank you , Sony . +693 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I really have high hope for this system . it have good review . the price be right . what could go wrong ? sadly , sound quality can go wrong apparently . I think it be quite possible that I receive a defective unit as the center channel do not produce any audio most of the time and when it do , it make voice sound completely muffle . on the upside , the sub in the unit sound great . it put out some rumble bass and I have to keep it turn down to `` 0 '' or '' +1 '' so as not to totally annoy the neighbor -lrb- love that apartment life -rrb- . I do not experience any of the setup issue that other people mention ; set-up be quick and easy . with all say and do however , I return the unit to Amazon today . pro : Easy set-up hdmus inputs\/output powerful sub con : Center channel sound muffle if it work at all +22 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I purchase this product , along with a Samsung 55 '' lcd tv and Logitech Harmony one . I love it !! Samsung be make amazing product with great price point . because I go from a 27 '' tube tv with no ss , I be still in shock from the amazing picture and sound my new set up be put out . one recommendation I would make be to purchase a Logitech remote also . go from 4 remote controll to 1 be amazingly easy and reduce clutter . I be by no means electronically knowledgable but be able to set up the tv , surround sound system and remote in about 3 hour ! my only complaint be the blu-ray player do not always `` tune '' to the right setting when go from `` watch dvd '' to `` watch cable '' . this be easily fix by go through the help menu on the Logitech -lrb- take about 5 button push -rrb- . overall , I be completely satisfy with what Samsung have provide , customer service be so helpful and be able to trouble shoot via internet chat be very nice , no holding on the phone ! +116 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I purchase this system with the intention to add a dvd player at a later time , I do have a HIFI VCR so I could get pro logic sound . this system sound great in my 2 bedroom townhouse with quite a full bass sound . I be think about add another sub to get a little more bass out of it though . all the speaker include in this package be very clear and have more than enough wattage for home theater . as I be on a budget when purchase this product , I do not want to buy the additional rear speaker mount ... , so all I do be I go to a hardware store and buy 2x2inch right angle bracket and 2x1inch right angle bracket ... . I then mount the 2 inch bracket to the wall in the rear with the one inch bracket bolt to the 2 inch bracket to form a s shape . I then be able to screw the rear speaker to the mount make a awesome wall mount ... . this be a much cheaper way to mount the rear speaker . +704 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 great system except for one glaring flaw . if you have a Samsung tv and a cable box or satellite box that be not anynet compatible and you use hdmus cable to connect everything , the input source will always default to Digital Input . as a practical matter what this mean be that no matter what remote you use to control the system , you will always have to also grab the Home Theater remote and change the input source . total pain in the rear . see the follow discussion thread on Cnet . Thought a harmony remote might solve the problem but it do not . +915 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I be look for a low-profile integrated blu-ray dvd player and sound bar to position on my mantle below a new flat panel tv . it seem like the trend have move away from integrate the two component , as many of the remain dvd sound bar do not play blu-ray and Sony seem to have discontinue new generation of this product . pro : the form factor for this device be fine , the blu-ray output look good . con : too many speaker wire and only one hdmus port . limited adjustability of speaker volume level -lrb- I like to increase the center channel so that speech be not totally lose in the surround sound effect -rrb- . no blue tooth connectivity . +700 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 this be the worst system ever . I buy a lot and I know what I be talk about . not only be this system garbage , but you also have to pay the shipping to return the product due to the company 's terrible product . DO NOT BUY . DO NOT BUY . +934 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 wonderful crystal clear sound , get all the feature I want : VCD , CD , mp3 , progressive scan , DTS , pro Logic , 5-cd changer ... only complain be the disk changer be sort of slow , but hey , as long as I dont have to get off the couch . : -rrb- my 1st buy be a Panasonic sc-ht75 from circuitcity . it be nice , but the quiet rear speaker be really disappointing . now that Amazon be sell sc-ht95 at amost the same price I pay for the sc-ht75 -lrb- after the rebate for 95 and tax for the 75 -rrb- , I make the switch immediately . with 75 , I have to turn up the rear speaker to max and turn down the front speaker to feel a hint of ` surround ' sound . for 95 , even at a low volumn I can vividly hear bullet fly pass by my ear ! Hav not get a chance to test the progressive scan yet , which be a major feature the sc-th75 lack . all in all , excellent machine and powerful speaker at a great price , highly recommand it . +388 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I be use this as the sound system for a tv and cd\/dvd player in a small room . it work great . the sound be excellent for my use and the ability to control the volume and other input level be a big plus . other sound system that I look at in the same price range do not have the remote . I have be use the rca rt151 system for a couple of month with no problem . +589 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I can not accurately express how great this product be in a few paragraph , but I 'll try . I 'll start by say that I already have a blu-ray player -lrb- PS3 -rrb- , so I be look for a surround system that be affordable and easy to set-up , actually sound good , and feel like a quality product . after use the system for a few day I can tell you that it have more than accomplish these thing . I pay full retail price , which be $ 350 , but again , I only need a surround system by itself , no dvd or blu-ray player , which be what the majority of system seem to be these day with bd become more popular . that say I be willing to pay a little more if it be a good system . the system come with a central speaker , two front speaker and two surround speaker to achieve 5.1 surround , which be plenty for a apartment like mine . there be also a very powerful subwoofer include as well , so when I have a home I can really pump the bass . additionally , the power be 1000w . know a bit , but not a whole lot about surround sound setup , this system make it ridiculously easy for I to set it up and get go . each speaker be color-code for easy installation , which seem like a no-brainer but this be not always the case . so anyway , you plug the wire into each speaker and then into the receiver and plug in the subwoofer and you be do with the wiring , it be really that simple . the wire be plenty long for the two surround speaker as well , so that be not a issue . there be also a auto-calibration microphone that come with the system that you place where you sit when you watch tv and it do its thing in less than 30 seconds and you be system be calibrate positionally just like that . I have watch a few blu-ray so far and the sound really be great , top-notch really . if you have never have a surround system before , you do not know what you be miss ! I could never watch a movie again without it . its a very powerful system as well , I be wait for my neighbor to say something soon lol -lrb- which be why there be night mode include -rrb- there be many mode you can use as well , such as Dolby pro Logic with 5.1 support , sport , game , music etc. . . Sports give you a reverberate sound as if you be at the stadium listen to the announcer , pretty cool minor stuff . now , there be also 3 hdmus input include , which be partly why this system be a little pricier than other , but it be well worth it . so I have my PS3 and DVR hook into the receiver with one to spare . it be nice to just switch the receiver to which one I want rather than the tv , I basically do not need my tv remote anymore . I know there be no ipod dock include , but you can buy a $ 8 cable -lrb- red and white tip -rrb- and play it through that , so it be not really worth the $ 100 + Sony dmp dealy . so there you have it , a great system for the price from Sony , who come through in the clutch once again . ignore the review that say they think this have a blu-ray player with it , I be not review Amazon , rather I be review this product . pro : 3 hdmus input , great sound , sleek and compact , easy set-up , auto-calibration . con : a tad pricy but the quality be there if you do not need a blu-ray player and you do not want to deal with annoyingly complicate set-up , this be the system you want . +397 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 buy the system in early 2011 ... obvious , this be a `` while supplies last '' as sl be no longer make home audio equipment . the system come with everything...av-rec , 5 speaker and a sub woofer , cable , and speaker stand . the speaker be really outstanding . first , these speaker be very well build and very sturdy . they can be floor\/shelf speaker with stand or flush mount on the wall . most important , these speaker sound great . very clear and excellent high and mid range sound and decent base even without the sub woofer . definately the best part of the deal be these speaker . I do not have a huge amount of experience with sub-woofer , but this one seem to be pretty good . I have very little doubt that there be better one out there , but this one produce more than enough clear and accurate base for my 16 x 18 foot room . the av receiver do not have hdmus connection , which be a drawback and now be about 6 year old . but the quality of the sound be outstanding ... have optical connection -lrb- 2 -rrb- , coaxial optical , component and rca connection , etc. . . plenty of option if hdmus be not essential . I will upgrade the receiver in a year or two . con ... older receiver w\/no hdmus . speaker be not true surround ... all five be identical -lrb- but sound great -rrb- . +543 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 so this be really my first all in one home theater system . I have hear other before though although not as great quality as this one . the pro : - Easy set up . - aesthetically please . - the step by step direction be easy to follow and there be a setup dvd that come with it that guide you through set up as well . - the front speaker come with long rod and short rod so you can adjust the height of the front speaker to the height you would prefer . - the blu-ray player have a usb connect on the front make it easy to connect you ipod or usb stick to view picture , movie from a external source or to listen to you music from you ipod . - it be wifi and have a wifus stick -lrb- usb dongle -rrb- that come with it so you can wirelessly connect to you home network and get thing like hulu or pandora or crackle to listen to music or watch tv show or movie from the web . - it connect directly to the tv too so you can listen to you tv show or game through the system . - there be two HDMI port on the back so you can connect you peripheral device such as you PS3 or XBOX or something . - the wire be color code so you dont have to play the guess game when try to figure out which wire go where . - the system turn on when you turn the tv on , and the entire system turn off when you turn the tv off . - the internet streaming option be awesome include some of the sony channel like michael jackson video , crackel , youtube , and pandora . the con : - the two rear speaker be actually still wire . the wire go to a wireless receiver -lrb- a box about the size of a small dvd player -rrb- . the positive be obviously that the wire dont have to go all the way to the blu-ray player . - the receiver take a while to start up when you initially start it . it can take like 15 seconds or so . I know doesnt seem like a long time but when you be use to it turn on immediately it seem like a long time . - it come with everything need right out of the box except a hdmus cord . even though you can find one for $ 5 - $ 10 online , it be still sort of annoying . - the wire connect to the system with a snap in connection plug thing . that mean you can not switch out the speaker the system come with to better speaker . you be pretty much stick with the speaker that it come with . you could potentially splic the wire to connect the connector to a new set of speaker wire but it can be troublesome . I havent test a 3d movie to be able to comment on it . I suspect it would be great quality though consider it really have not let I down yet . overall i would say purchase this unit you wont be disappoint . it perform as expect if not better . the wireless speaker be a great touch and work seamlessly . the system set up be easy and everything you need be right in the box -lrb- except the hdmus cord -rrb- . +779 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 if you do not have a lot of money , this be the one to get . you will get a decent sound . mx966 be good for movie but not for music . if you can afford more , I would recommend to buy the receiver and speaker separately , instead of buy they in a package . +241 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this be a excellent entry-level system -- and you can not beat the price for the performance . if you want a solid 5.1 surround sound system for less than $ 200 , you will not find a better one than the Sony ht-ddw660 . my friend with a Onkyo super-system be amaze at the clarity and depth I get out of this simple Sony -- he say it be every bit as good as he $ 1,000 + system , albeit with fewer bell and whistle . I install this with my Panasonic HD tv and Hughes DirectTV\/TiVo HD receiver use a optical cable -lrb- which you must buy separately -rrb- , and the Sony system automatically switch to the optimal sound configuration on the fly . excellent for the rest of my family who do not want to fiddle with the remote . the digital coax connection make hook up a dvd a breeze , too . I recommend that you also buy the optional speaker stand -lrb- Sony ws-fv11 -rrb- which will cost you another $ 200 for two pair -- odd that four speaker stand cost as much as the actual system -- but they be worth it . my only -lrb- all minor -rrb- complaint be : - the power be a bit low -- you really have to crank it up to get some strong volume . if you have a big room for you home theater , get a bigger sound system than this . - beware switching to FM radio before turn the sound down ; for some reason , the volume level on the radio receiver be MUCH higher than for the tv\/surround sound , so you get blast if you just switch over withor readjust the volume -- weird . - wire into the subwoofer be permanent , unlike the connection for the other five speaker . not a big deal , but you 'll have to cut and splice if you want to use you own speaker cable . - optical cable should have be include . they give you a digital coax , but why not the optical cord ? - pay special attention to the part number on the back of the five speaker -- they determine the proper left\/right\/front \/ back placement -- I miss this when I first set up the system - I be have some trouble configure my Hughes TiVo remote to control the ht-ddw660 -- the recommend TiVo code do not work . Time to get a $ 200 universal remote , I guess ... as I say , all of these be minor complaint -- in general , I be extremely pleased with the sound quality . I keep have to remind myself that I spend less than $ 200 for this great system . highly recommend . +566 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 good sound from a budget system - only flaw be I could not get the hdmus to work , have to connect use analog video cable . first unit I buy have a defective dvd player , Amazon swap for a new unit with any cost to I - very pleased with Amazon 's service ! +784 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 small , nice look , cleverly design , full feature , play cd , cdr , cdrw , AM\/FM , dvd with dt and dd 5.1 sound , have a subwoofer that shake my sofa , power enough to bear my neighbor , fidelity enough to make I think someone be enter the room while it be actually one of the dd 5.1 channel in action . the image be top , specially on the Cinema mode . hard to beat . the dvd mechanism be fast enough to make everything mostly instantaneous -lrb- load , navigate , chapter change -rrb- . I have search a lot before buying -lrb- Sony DAV s300 , 2 model from Panasonic , Onkio -rrb- and be sure I pick the best . it save I lot of space -lrb- sell my stereo mini-system and my previous Pioneer DV 414 -rrb- , look as any overpriced dvd -lrb- it be not progressive scan , though -rrb- , sound as goo as many component system I could have add to my previous dvd\/tv . could not be happier . join the club . +279 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be a very nice home theater , excelent sound , very easy to install and worth any dollar you pay for it . I like very much it speaker , small in size e big in sound . very nice complement to my PS3 . +278 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I upgrade my entire media system recently and decide that I still want the power of both dvd and VCR player along with stereo surround sound . after some research , I come upon the Panasonic scht820v . I think this would be perfect since it encompass all the feature I need in one system . it play well for the first two day . the system be not phenomenal , but it do the work it set out to do . the sound be fine and the hd channel play a simulated surround sound quality -lrb- the only true surround sound I find be only when I play dvd -rrb- . but then I notice that the dvd carousel click loudly as if something snap . the dvd player stop work and I could not even get it to open . I buy the system from Target.com and they be very friendly and send I a replacement immediately . when my replacement arrive a few day later , I perform the daunting task of pack up the old system and unpack the new one . I connect everything again with the new system and it play fine . the very next day , the same thing happen with the old player . the dvd player get stick on one of the carousel , something click very loudly and I know that be the sound of I be screw again . again , target be very accommodate ; I be no longer interested in another replacement as I have have my fill . I pack the second system up and get my refund . I do not know if anyone else have have issue with the dvd player , but for it to be defective on two separate system be a major red flag for I . be warn . now I be convinced that I will just buy a 5 Disc dvd player\/entertainment system from Sony and if I want to tape a show off the tv , I will invest in TiVO ! +180 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this arrive quickly and be easy to set up . it sound great . we have not try connect it to a computer yet , but if it appear to be straight forward . hopefully a wireless connection will be possible as well , the documentation suggest it be , but be not clear how to achieve this . +349 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 we have only have this item for a month but I have to say we be well please with it . we have a large -lrb- 18 ' x 25 ' -rrb- live room but still do not feel like we need one of the large 5-speaker system . what we love about this Sony be -lrb- a -rrb- super easy to use - you do not feel like you need to go back to college and get a engineering degree to operate it ; -lrb- b -rrb- the sound be extremely good . the bass will blow you away on the dvd 's & CD 's and , yes , it be adjustable ; and -lrb- c -rrb- it co-operate with we Harmony remote for the most part . there be one minor issue with the Harmony in that it will not go back to the correct input when change from watch a dvd to watch tv , so you have to inform the Harmony that all be not right and it will go through a series of question to correct itself . that glitch , however , be not Sony 's fault but Harmony 's and we hope that Harmony will create a `` fix '' for it soon . and finally -lrb- d -rrb- it be super inexpensive to purchase . bottom line , so far we be very happy . +586 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 really enhance we movie experieance at home . a good buy at a good price . +294 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I have have this system for about 4 year now , and have never have a problem with it . still sound like new and bass be still good . when I first buy the system , I notice that the bass be not that impressive . what I find be that if you press the display button on the remote and go to custom setting , you can change the audio level of each speaker . so , I turn the subwoofer all the way up , and the rest of the speaker down . now , no matter what audio level the system be at , the subwoofer be always louder . Hope this help if you want more base : -rrb- +985 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I be skeptic when I buy db390 because wireless rear speaker be a new technology implementation use bluetooth . I be pleasantly surprise when it take I little effort to set it up follow the manual and the wireless receiver work well . my main concern be that I have 802.11 b\/g router that use 2.4 Ghz also , and I have a wireless bluetooth headset , but so far everything work great ! I have not have any issue when use all my device -lrb- wireless network , db390 , and headset -rrb- at the same time ! +290 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 the 5 dvd changer be great . the sound quality be above what you would expect from a system of this cost level . a little light on the high end I feel but really depend a lot on you sound source as well . some say they think the bass be weak but I find if I put the sub-woofer box on it be back point up to the ceiling I get great bass . more than I want . Speaker placement be everything . try several different placement and hear the difference . all in all I be very happy except I wish the high be a little more tinkly . +253 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 after look for a home theater system for some time that would not bankrupt I , i finally find this one . for ... you really can not go wrong , it do DTS as well as dolby digital and despite the speaker only be small they 'll go pretty damn loud with very little distortion . it have plenty of connection for hook up you tv\/vcr\/cable and CD player etc and it also come supply with the phono cable to do it . as for the subwoofer not work , i think i would get a faulty unit but the subwoofer have it be own volume control on the back and you have to turn it on on the amplifier itself , the subwoofer be turn off by default . my only gripe be that it do not come supply with a optical cable and my dvd player do not have a coaxial digital output . other than that i would reccomend this system to anyone who want a decent home theater for not a lot of money . +292 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I do not see much review on this product all over online but i still go for this system and i gotta tell you it be excellent . the system be very good-looking but also sound excellent , i be thrill by the sound of this . this be definitely worth it and the price be also one of the best , thanks vann and Sony . +703 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I research for many week before opt for this product . outstanding sound and when connect to a dt capable dvd player , the sound will blow you away . the number of input make it a great receiver . I have connect all my electronics include my computer to it and the performance be amazing . just one word of advice , do not go for any of those Home theater system that have dvd player build in . they be really bad and I can tell you from personal experience . +54 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 it might work for you bedroom , but the system be not powerful enough for my small living room . the woofer be strong , but the rest of the speaker be very weak . add to that a confusing remote and long pause at start-up , advance track , and change disk , and I would rather have go with a small Sony , Panasonic , or Jensen . on the positive side ; it be inexpensive , play lot of format , it be very slim\/stylish , it be easy to hook-up , perfect ... if you be go to use it in you bedroom . +237 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 we get this about two year ago from Sam 's Club . it have be nothing but trouble . we return the first system because it would not read any disc . the second system have multiple problem : -lrb- 1 -rrb- it will not read the cd or dvd at least 50 % of the time . no kidding , sometimes I put 5 disc in there and it will cycle through all five and then finally say `` no disc . '' there be nothing wrong with the disc ; sometimes I can get they to work after multiple try -lrb- and sometimes not -rrb- . -lrb- 2 -rrb- the surround sound usually do not work . my husband give I a post-it note that we keep on the system with a series of step we have to take to reset it so that the blue light come on . -lrb- 3 -rrb- when they do work , the back speaker hiss . even though Amazon no longer carry this unit I be search to find out if there be any recall or anyone else with the same problem . we register it on the Samsung website to see if they come up with a recall notice . -lrb- we be about to dump we Canon digital camera recently when it stop work - it be past warranty - but my husband find out it have a recall on it . they fix it without charge . -rrb- +175 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 for the low price I get this system for , it have be execptional . speaker be twice the size of than those of normal system at this price , which be nice because I do not care for satelite . it also sound very good , compete with system in the 700-900 dollar price range . it be ` Hall ' mode sound good with stereo music , do not modify the l-r channel , simply add a ambience base on the difference between they . pro logic decoding be crisp and clear with encode material , play Unreal tournament with my pc connect sound very convincing . Crisp and clear Dolby Digital and DTS decoding . AM\/FM reception a little to be desire , but do a acceptable job . the only weak link would have to be the subwoofer . clearly not Phillips ' strong point , it sound thumpy , only go down to 35 hertz , and you have to turn the thing on and off , which be irritating because its easy to forget to turn it off , thus risk fry it . however , the whole thing cost I 350 buck . anyway , this system be surely worth the money if you be on a budget , and you 'll get hour of entertainment from it . +928 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 prior to any comment regard the performance of this system , I should note that , due to extensive research on dvd player , there be no surprise here . I have be read product review on this subject for over a year and select this unit base on my individual need . the Sony dav-x1 be to be use in conjunction with my Sony SXRD rear projection tv in a relatively small family room . the fact that a hdmus cable could be use here be a factor . the two speaker , plus woofer , work out nicely in a limited space area . and , there be really no sacrifice in sound quality that be meaningful . if you happen to literally have a home theater in a large room and have no problem with set up and enjoy four or more speaker , this be not the unit for you . to paraphrase a old say , `` anything over a earful be waste . '' how often can most of we crank up the sound without wake the kid , the neighbor , or inflict damage to we eardrum . I have always equate the sense of sound with the sense of smell . the distinctiveness of either be readily apparent for a short time , after which there be only good or bad . this unit produce good sound , quite adequate for anything I would ever need to hear either on dvd , tv , CD , or FM radio . should I ever win the lottery , I will be more than willing to go high end however ... I recommend this system to people who appreciate good sound and do not feel the need to entertain the neighborhood . +351 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 there be only one thing with this surround sound that I can not figure out ! I can not seem to change the sound in my rear speaker . oh the system be a 10-10 but I just can not figure it out ! I find out how to change the sound but for some reason it only change the volume and not adjust the sound from each speaker ! Hope that make sense ! overall great buy ! +743 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 the one I receive from Amazon be faulty so , I return it to Vizio and they replace it with a new one . during that time I decide this one be not right for I so , I return it to Amazon . no need to open it , it be in unused condition . thanks . +526 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 after 11 month , the subwoofer no longer work , everything else still work and the rest of the speaker work fine . now I have to try and get it fix , the nearest `` Authorized Service Center '' be 120 mile away . May just have to buy another system and sell the rest of this system on ebay , or buy just a new subwoofer on ebay . +901 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 this item be just good look junk ! after search on-line all day i realize that I be not the only one with this problem , or the only one who just have to trash this whole system ! tray i.n.t. I !!! that be all it say , then wait ! for hour , it will do nothing , totally lock up , try unplug for 30 minute to `` reset '' try remove the dvd 's . I have find two consistent complaint by many people on-line - the pop and the Tray I.N.I. t , some date back to 2007 , some as recent as my system . from a company who seem to have have customer complaint as far back as two year for the same issue and still no fix ! save yourself $ 500.00 . Panasonic be trash . +157 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I select these base on appearance in my living room as the primary factor and sound specification be secondary . the sound quality be so poor I have to disconnect they and go back to my old stuff . speaker have very poor sound quality and no depth at all . I hope other learn from my mistake ! the good news be that they be cheap . +862 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 this system sound great and be easy to set up . I would give it 5 star if it work 100 % of the time . however , my first one have squeal and buzz happen at random time when use the digital audio input -lrb- both coaxial and rca -rrb- . there have be multiple report of this on cnet 's user review as well . it do not happen on every system , but when it do , you 'll know it . I 'll be return the system today . I 'll try one more time , but if the second one do not work , I 'll go with Sony 's equivalent even though it have one less digital audio input . +625 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I purchase the Sony Bravia when I buy the 55 '' Bravia TV . I absolutely love it . I hook it up myself with a little help from Sony tech support which I must say they have awesome techy !! +851 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this system be great . especially when you consider the price . it be plenty powerful for small to medium size room and it have super quality . hehehehehe , my buddy who spend $ 2000 on he 5.1 system come over and hear this . he jaw hit the floor when i tell he i only pay $ 200 ... highly recommend ! +20 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 this hybrid sound bar and home theater system have excellent sound and fill a average room with every detail . it sound as if you be within whatever be on you tv . however , Vizio forget about important detail when make this system . the remote be cheaply make and feel like it will break easily . a fully wireless system would eliminate setup frustration . you also need to make sure the wire be fully connect or you will not obviously have full sound . however , the system be a good deal for its price and sound great . +223 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 as other have say , this system be a great value . the receiver be excellent and the speaker be not bad . in this price range , most other company give you a lower quality receiver with less flexibility . the Onkyo receiver have low distortion , plenty of power , and a large number of input -lrb- include component video -rrb- for greater flexibility when integrate with you other av component . the receiver be good enough to keep even if you later decide to upgrade the speaker . the speaker be good consider the price , but do not compare they with audiophile grade speaker . the speaker be much larger than those in most other home theater system in this price range . due to the physics inherent in sound reproduction , it be easier to make a good speaker in a reasonably large package than it be in a tiny package . these speaker be not trade off sound quality and level just to make they small . the center and two front speaker have bass port in the rear , so they sound best when not place against a wall . also , the tweeter of the front speaker should be place at ear level , which might require the use of speaker stand -lrb- generally true for any speaker system -rrb- . when I raise or lower my head signifiantly above or below the tweeter , I could easily notice a decrease in clarity . it be also good to have the speaker point at the listener , but this be less critical due to the vertical arrangement of the tweeter in between the two mid-range . the three surround speaker have a forward face bass port , so it be fine to set they against the wall . I just hang they on the wall use the mount hole on the back of each speaker . as another reviewer have mention , the speaker cable that come with the system be 24 gauge , which be rather thin . it be worth upgrade to better wire . no need to spend a lot on the cable though . 16 gauge copper wire from the local home center should do fine . I set up two speaker next to each other , one with the 24 gauge wire and the other with 12 gauge copper wire , and listen to the pink noise output by the receiver . the difference between they be easy to discern , with the thicker wire give a stronger high end . the subwoofer be fine for watch movie but can be somewhat boomy for listen to music . when reproduce explosion in movie , boominess be not a bad thing , but when reproduce organ tone , the subwoofer have a tendency to boom on the low tone . I manage to reduce the boominess by fill the subwoofer with one pound of polyester fiberfill -lrb- available at the craft store -rrb- . I open up the subwoofer by remove the screw hold the bottom board and then remove the screw hold the speaker driver . then I lift out the driver and place it to the side of the hole -lrb- be careful not to pull on the wire -rrb- . then I evenly stuff the subwoofer with the fiberfill , be sure to keep the fiberfill away from the end of the port and from the heat sink on the amplifier . this help to reduce the boominess without reduce the overall sound pressure level . the subwoofer still be not able to reproduce the lowest organ tone -lrb- ~ 20 hz -rrb- but that be to be expect of any subwoofer not cost many time more . i find that the bass sound stronger and more even when I set the subwoofer crossover to 100 hz instead of the default 80 hz . I think the main speaker have trouble reproduce sound much below 100 hz , so it be better to send those to the subwoofer . overall , this be a great system , and even if you just set up the system out of the box -lrb- read the manual -rrb- , it 'll still be better than most other in this price range . but the system can be make even better with just a few tweak . +565 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I think I would upgrade from the Vizio 2.1 soundbar , which perform well . my first vht510 last about three week before the blue volume , etc. , led stop work . the sound quality , in my opinion , be spectacular for the price . because the indicator light provide the only visual feedback for the various setting available , I return the unit to Amazon . the replacement unit work perfectly when I set it up . however , when I turn the unit on the next morning , I find that the subwoofer lead indicate it be not connect to the sound bar . the soundbar 's wireless function appear to have fail . two different Vizio technician be unable to to correct the issue over the phone . since this be a replacement unit from Amazon , I decide to send the defective unit to Vizio in hope that whatever problem be associate with the unit will have be correct in its replacement . we 'll see ! +420 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I can not say enough about this speaker system . I be afraid that buy a satellite system because I though they would sound cheap , but boy be I wrong . the sound that come out of these speaker be amazing and they sound just as good at low volume and they do at high volume . I be not a expert , but I know what sound good and I know what I like and these be perfect for I and they fit my budget nicely . they be without a doubt the best set of speaker I have ever have . I have they hook up to a pioneer vsx-30 elite amplifier with output detail 80 Watt - 8 ohm - 20 - 20000 hz - thd 0.08 % - 7 channel -lrb- s -rrb- -lrb- surround -rrb- and it be a perfect match with he receiver . I also have a set of Klipsch SF-3 floor standing speaker hook up with em and all I can say be I be hear my music for the first time at this level of quality and can not believe the difference . I have have no problem with the sub and it turn off and on just fin without make any noise as I have read it previous comment . +800 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I buy this system for my bedroom theater . because I be disabled , I want to have something that be not go to be too complicated and want a system from one manufacturer . I hear this system at a Radio Shack and even in the showroom environment it sound very good . after install it my bedroom , it sound great . a better sub would be nice but that be immaterial as the bass from this system once you find a corner to place the sub be very good . the remote have no problem control all the rca equipment that be attach to the receiver . the biggest nit I have be that the the receiver do not upconvert the video to the monitor so you need to have a monitor that have both s-video and composite input . +523 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I do not know much about sound system and already have 5 speaker set up for surround sound use a Onkyo receiver . I expect to be able to plug everything in to the receiver and have 7.1 surround but that be not the case . if you do not have a receiver , you can plug the two speaker into the subwoofer and the subwoofer into the tv and you better sound than if you just have the tv speaker . however , if you be like I , the jack on the subwoofer can not plug into the port on the receiver . thus , I have 7 speaker for lovely surround sound with not bass . still , speaker look very nice in front of my tv and I have the connect as one long shiny black bar . you also have the option of stand they up on either side of you tv as show in the picture . +832 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 System seem to work fine ... operation can be a little slow between mode . biggest issue be the remote which seem to break down quickly ... and find a replacement even with universal remote be impossible ... finally get a learning remote to replace it . +905 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 my husband think it be great , just what he want . he look for a while before we order & he be well pleased . +546 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 for the price , this be a ideal system . I have a fairly large great room , and it get fill with sound . front speaker be great , back speaker do not seem to be very loud , even after adjust the volume setting . I plop the sub underneath the coffee table , and I would suggest you at least try it . it help keep the bass response tight and punchy . it would have be awesome if this come with some wire guard , or maybe a coupon for some . right now , i just have wire snake along the floor -lrb- I rent , so I be not go to slice the carpet up -rrb- . have not look into the wireless capable yet . Spent too much on the tv already ! +322 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I cant complain . I be sort of worried that there wouldnt be enough intput -lrb- because i find it hard to find schematic and picture of the back of this unit -rrb- , but there be two set of input and one set of output . so ive get my Playstation 2 and tv . all the sound from my tv get redirect through the speaker . the sound quality be very good , ive listen to some of my CD 's on it , test it with classical to heavy metal . all of which sound marvelous . ive even have complaint from next door that they can hear it too well . you cant beat this unit for it be price ! its get a dvd player and a mp3 Player build in ! +99 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I buy this system and use it for one week . the volume lead light go out . I call Vizio and they say to pack it up and take it to Costco . disassemble , pack up and take it back for a exchange . bring the new one home , set it up . work great . 2 day later , no volume lead light . I never pack it up to take it back ... too much trouble . sound be great . light suck . also the remote control be very sensitive . you have to be right in front of unit to change volume . and of course the volume be a guess without light . would like to find a fix , without multiple trip to store ! th Raleigh +164 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 well the panasonic hometheater system sound be great and the picture be great , however the pop sound only appear when i play my vanilla sky , matrix reload and l.a. confidential dvd 's . the first 2 dvd title show a small amount of pixellation ... there like little color square that appear for less than a sec and sometimes interrupt sound but not everytime i play the disc . i try those dvd 's on my sony dvd player and the disc be perfect . no scratch , no fingerprint , no pixellation and no dust . my l.a. confidential dvd never play well with the panasonic system , with the sony it be perfect . if someone can tell I why i get this little color square but the disc be perfect . this panasonic home theater dvd really disappointed I when i play those disc , and how now what other dvd 's get those little annoying square and what annoy I the most be that they dont always appear on the same chapter , sometimes not at all and sometimes they do appear . 1 star for the problem , cuz the sound and picture be great but the little square really tick I off . be there something i can do to stop that from happen ? +483 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 this be the worst piece of equipment I believe I have ever purchase . I have it maybe 8 month and it begin to freeze . at 9 month the VCR go out . now nothing work I would stay away from this product , I think Magnavox will put they name on anything . +866 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 a very good player at a very reasonable price . +208 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I own several Toshiba product and have be happy with every one . once again I be amaze at the workmanship , quality , and price of another fine Toshiba product . before buy the Toshiba sd-43ht I make the mistake of go really cheap and by another system from a retail chain . the maker of the cheap system be AMW . I be so dissapointed with the AMW system that I return it within a hour of set it up . I then decide to really research the Home Theater market before buy anything else . I come across the Toshiba sd-43ht and decide to give it a try . WoW !!! it be easy to set up and the sound be amazing for a 320watt system . have a DTS decoder be a must for amazing surround sound . many dvd movie have the DTS Digital as a audio option , and believe I , DTS digital sound be higher quality than Dolby 5.1 digital . another benefit with this system be that plenty of speaker wire be include to allow speaker placement just about anywhere . I also like have the digital optical speaker input so that I be able to hook up my Playstation 2 's optical sound port to the Toshiba sd-43ht optical sound port and use the DTS decoder with Grand theft auto Vice City . this system be versatile and be a must have in you home . you will not be dissapoint with the price , or the quality in the Toshiba SD-43HT Theater System . +837 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 you could spend a lot more for the functions\/features available on this model , but you would be waste you money . after open the box and follow the very simple instruction , we be watch we Theater within a hour . the calibration microphone be pretty cool to watch work -lrb- automatically -rrb- the remote be small but very functional . the sound quality be excellent , the picture be just what you would expect from a Sony . we do not feel the need to break window when we watch a movie or listen to the FM tuner , but the unit handle higher volume very well . +854 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 recently , Dolby Digital surround sound have overtake its predecessor , Dolby pro Logic . it provide a dramatic upgrade in sound quality and realism over the analog pro logic . initially , very expensive , it be now available in many moderately price home Theater receiver . +677 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 impressive home theater system with excellent power . on top of the great sound and quality video it have very stylish design feature that compliment its quality audio and video output !! +806 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I should have follow the advice of the other reviewer . my volume indicator led die the first day . Vizio have I unplug the set , hold power for 30 seconds , and then plug it back in . after that the indicator work for a few hour and quit again . now the power trick do not fix it . the set sound great , but I be not sure I can live with this defect . +993 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I should have pay closer attention when order this product . it be not `` wireless '' . instead of return it I purchase a wireless adapter which work fine with it . the Pandora online application be great ! better than Sirius XM as far as music and quality be concern . also good for Netflix . have not attempt to download a movie yet . probably never will . good blue ray player . it do upconvert regular dvd 's very well . +911 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I buy this system because it be well-priced and it have the hdmus switching that I require , with 4 hdmus input . after go through some setup , the system sound quite good . the speaker be make of wood and seem to be of good quality . however , sometimes the sound would screech loudly for a second when switch HDMI source . and pretty soon the receiver start freezing up and become unresponsive to any button press or the remote . the only way to unfreeze it be to unplug it from the wall . this be unacceptable . I have do some research and it seem to be a common problem , although I could not determine why it happen . the best I could find be that it be possibly a hdmus processing issue . I want to like this system - I have use denon before with little issue . it be also a pain in the neck to have to unplug everything , package it , and send it back . but I be still return this system and get another brand . sorry denon . on the up side , Amazon have be fantastic regard the return , as usual . +488 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 arm with a budget of under 500 , my choice be a Onkyo ht-s760 and this Panasonic ht900 . I choose this one over the Onkyo coz it have a 5 disc dvd player \/ tallboy satellite -lrb- speaker which need no stand -rrb- and this one look really neat . Onkyo be suppose to sound better , and its much heavier and bulky . but after listen to both system , I decide this be very good by itself . this system sound excellent , look great and be very reasonably price . the remote be a tricky beast -lrb- it have shift-key ! -rrb- . the system be very easy to setup and I get it up and run in no time . I wish the bass would boom heavier - but to be fair , I havent really push it hard since I live in a apartment complex & didnt want to share my music with unwilling neighbor LOL . I be amaze at the Dolby ProLogic II - as it seem to extract full surround from VHS cassette . this be my first HT , and it have change the way I see ! : -rrb- +386 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 ok , maybe I be on a little bit of a `` jihad '' here against these up-converting dvd player , but bear with I because I do have a valid point . do not buy any dvd player because it can `` up-convert to hd '' . evaluate all dvd player on whether they do everything else well , or have the connection you need -lrb- DVI , HDMI , etc. -rrb- or the price be in you budget . this may be a fine dvd player , but do not buy it just because it can up-convert , and do not use the up-convert capability of this player even if you do buy it . if you tv can accept 720p or higher input via DVI or HDMI , then it be already scale the image to fit the native resolution of the display device . and I guarantee you it be do a better job of it than any sub-200 dollar dvd player be go to do . -lrb- if not , then you hdtv be poorly make -rrb- . my final point : if this up-coverting technology be such a good idea , why be Samsung the only one do it ? why not Pioneer , Panasonic , Sony , JVC , and Denon ? -lrb- because they know it be usless technology -rrb- . +528 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 the main unit have a slick , slim design . the speaker be solid look . all the need cable be include , and everything be color code and label . then I turn it on . First , whenever power be apply , or mode -lrb- disc\/tuner\/aux -rrb- change , a disturbingly loud `` klunk '' noise be make . the unit always power up in disc mode , and will not respond for several seconds while it try to load a disc . setting -lrb- such as volume -rrb- be often lose or different when change between mode . many function be not available in all mode . for example , `` mute '' only work when play a disc . the equalizer only apply to audio cd . and so on . i find I have to wait one or two seconds after press a button before the unit respond . if I press additional button before the unit be ready , it sometimes do not respond , or do the wrong thing . sometimes , while change between mode -lrb- e.g. , from radio tuner to aux in -rrb- , the disc tray would eject a inch or so out of the unit , and then stop . this be especially ironic give that the eject button do not function unless you be in disc mode . audio and video artifact -lrb- pop , click , on-screen flash , etc. -rrb- occur when navigate dvd menu . worst of all , the unit lock up several time play dvd . the picture would corrupt , then everything would just stop . I have to unplug the unit , and then plug it back in , to get it to respond again . this happen on several different dvd , include a brand-new , just-opened disc . i return the unit to the store . I be not expect much , but this model fail to meet even basic expectation . +147 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I have own these speaker from Aug\/Sept of 2011 . they be very good surround sound speaker for a 7.1 setup . I have everything match with Sony product , so these compliment the look of my home theater . the sound be great for sound effect , when the scene in a movie permit . they be good for music , but not as primary speaker . I have the Sony ss-f6000 's in the front . I recommend they also as they get the full sound that the surround sound 's lack . this set of speaker be worth it in my opinion , as I only pay 169.99 + tax for they new at best buy . as for the Sony ss-f6000 speaker Amazon also should have they cheap . I pay 119.00 ship . the receiver I have run everything be Sony str-dn1010 . it be a very good receiver as well . I buy the receiver the same time as everything too . I only pay $ 199.00 for the receiver . you can buy a newer version for the same price now if you shop smart . good Luck I say buy it , unless you want more higher end product . then I say look for Martin Logan , Bowers and Wilkins , or Focal 's $ 30.000.00 speaker -- each ! +459 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I purchase the MartinLogan mlt-2 system at a Amazon cyber deal 6 month ago for 399.99 . the speaker be connect to a Onkyo ht-rc260 receiver , so the home theater setup cost I $ 720 . overall , I be very pleased with the sound quality of the speaker . I be ecstatic about the price . for bookshelf speaker , the sound be bright and crisp , with house rattle bass -lrb- if you want it -rrb- . however , the journey to this level of satisfaction be not without its turn and twist . when I receive the speaker , they be well packed and undamaged and easy to hookup , use 14ga speaker wire . they be be use in a large room -lrb- 20x45 -rrb- and they provide clean , room fill sound . there be a problem with the subwoofer . when in auto-mode , the subwoofer would automatically detect if a signal be be send and turn on\/off automatically . -lrb- someone with a integrated system would not need the sensor since the whole system would power on and off together . -rrb- the mlt-2 auto-function would cycle on\/off continuously , sometimes two or three time every half hour . when the subwoofer power off , it would make a big boom . I complain to customer service and they send out a second subwoofer immediately . I test they side by side and the subwoofer cycle on\/off in a similar manner , each time with a annoying boom . I continue my complaint and they send out a third unit ! now I have three subwoofer and I test they use different cable and different output on the receiver -lrb- the Onkyo have three dedicated subwoofer output -rrb- . all three unit behave almost identically , switching on and off within minute - sometimes seconds of each other . even after use the Onkyo speaker balancing program , the on\/off cycling continue - although to a much lesser extent . I finally increase the subwoofer gain manually to the maximum +10 db and the cyclig pretty much disappear . so I pack up the two replacement and send they back to MartinLogan . another reviewer in this section complain about receive defective speaker - the two replacement subwoofer that have be send to I be both damage , presumably by UPS . the first one have two corner crushed and one of the metal fin on the back heat appliance bent . the other have slight cabinet damage along a edge and corner . I be lucky with the original shipment , because everything be undamaged . I be able to mitigate the problem with the auto-function , by tweaking the amplifier . it be not perfect . sometimes the subwoofer cycle on\/off during a movie , which be annoying , but now it tend to be rare . if it be to become a problem , I would not use the auto function and remember to power the subwoofer on\/off manually . I might blame MartinLogan for this , but after read about the auto function , it seem that many manufacturer have this problem . for the price and sound quality , as well as the responsiveness of customer service though , I rate the MartinLogan mlt-2 5 star . +387 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 Got this thing for my girlfriend as a Christmas gift . hooked everything up Christmas eve , she be so excited , then the dvd player do not work . will not read dvd 's or CD 's . thanks for ruin she Christmas KLH ! that be why I buy Sony only ... learn my lesson on this one . +876 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 after read through all of the review , I decide to roll the dice and buy the Samsung ht-wp38 . there be a few write-up where people be complain about wire , hiss , skip , even customer service ... well , I have not see any of these issue . I think a lot of issue about wireless device can be attribute to people not understand the technology . this device use the 2.4 GHz band , the same band as a lot of cordless phone and wireless networking device . do you research , check you phone and wap , and replace anything that might interfere . I have a 5.8 GHz wireless router sit right behind this reciever and there be no interference , hiss , static , crackling . sound be crystal clear . and yes , the wireless just keep you from run wire from the front of the room to the back . the rear channel be wire to a reciever box , but it be no big deal to put that out of sight . I think the picture detail the setup well . anyway , overall a great entry level ht . +637 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 hus i dont have the product but im really interst on buy one , so i would like to know if anybody can tell I if the dvd be a multi-zone dvd or if be not . thanks for you time +332 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 the sound be not great , and remote have to be at close to a 90 degree angle to work well , but for the money it be okay for a bedroom . do not get it for the family room , though . +123 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 well it didnt have hdmus and the remote be pretty bad and the disc changer be awful . the sound quality be ok but i dont believe Sony 's dubious clame of 143 watt a channel or the 285 for the sub . +91 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I purchase this unit to replace my aging klipsch 2.1 system which actually have better bass , but be become balky and malfunction often . the Onkyo be simple to set up and run . it have a nice on screen menu that super over programing without have to interrupt anything . the sound be very good and crisp . it have amazing surround dimensionality for a 2.1 system . I like the fact that there be a minimum number of wire and that the remote easily switch between source . the one drawback be that the system must have the tv power on to function properly , there be time when I just want to listen to music from a internet source , but it do not work unless the tv be on . +402 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I be on the second system after my first system be replace . this product have cause constant problem . the system take dvd and cd and do not eject they . +957 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I just purchase this system and after one day i return it back . the quality of the sound be ok , but only when you play from the Sony dvd player . my plan be to use that system to stream audio from my blu-ray player , so I use the Optical wire to connect the blu-ray player with the Sony player but , the quality of sound be like 2ch stereo , I have try with all the audio setting on the Sony device with no luck . when I put the dvd disc in the Sony player the sound be pro logic 5.1 . I want to use that system as receiver , however , that do not work . so if you plan to do the same just get the one with -lrb- hdmus in -rrb- for external device . overall i rate this system 3 star because it play nice sound , however the menu on remote be nightmare , also the lcd display be small and hard to read from a distance . +794 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 yes , I know it be a old player by a defunct company . yes I know it be obsolete in the eye of blu-ray . yes , I know the speaker be bulky and obtrusive and this be not even something that Fred Flintsone could find a use for . I have originally purchase just as a fourth dvd player for my wreckroom . in the 4 year that I have own this it be only use literally once . it take multiple time for the player to read the disc , the picture quality be lousy and the sound quality be fuzzy . anyway , I have just go in to check it to see if this work because I be think of sell it on cl and surprise , surprise , it be not work . I have come to expect thing like this to happen with the all-mighty RCA name so I be really not that surprised . rca make garbage look like gold . rca 's crummy electronics only rival they non-existant service . no excuse for make a item this poor . I should have have my head examine for purchase this piece of plastic junk . +954 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this a very nice home theater system in a box . I buy a new tv last fall and the sound be ok but due to have it in a cabinet it sound very muted . I add the Sony Bravia and I feel like I be in a movie theater !! for the price of 200 buck you can not beat it !! very easy to set up . just install the disc for the best sound . the speaker be all color code and permanently mark so if you move the system in the future you will not forget how to plug thing back in . I suggest you use the HDMI cable hookup to get the absolute best sound and picture you can . the bass be formadable . for a living room or family room this provide all the high quality sound you will need without spend a ton of money on complicated system !! +572 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 hus we purchase this unit in April , 2005 for almost over $ 400.00 . this unit do not have review by then . we think since we be put good money we get a pretty decent system but the performance be not what we expect . it can not play dvd for more than 2 or 3 hour . after that it continually try to read but unsuccessful . please do not buy this unit at all . try look for a SONY or BOSE if you can afford . lesson learn be beware what you buy and let other write review about the unit then you buy . thanks . +260 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I buy this home theater system for my boyfriend for Christmas and he love it ! he love the fact that it be a 5-disc changer so that he do not have to get up and change dvd all the time . he also like the fact that the speaker give you the option of put they on pedestal that you can buy separetly . overall , I be very satisfied with the product and recommend it to anyone who be interested in purchase it . +83 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I be totally satisfied and highly impressed with this system . for the style , the output , the quality , and the price , this amw system be worth it . I be enjoy it tremendously !! I highly recommend this system . and if you have a problems\/questions regard connection -lrb- I do with the speaker -rrb- , they website be full of solution ... . +426 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I buy this dvd player about 4 month ago ... for the brand I figure it would be a pretty good unit ... I think wrong though right now the only movie I can get to work on this player without the speaker buzz be Rocky Horror , and that only if I listen to it in mono ... so far my Bass channel put out just buzz ... the internal fan go dead , so the only way to keep it from over heating be to keep the lid off it ... the left and right channel buzz , the surround stop work all together ... all in all , this unit be worthless ... dont buy it !!! and , if on the off chance that you already have one ... when it break down , save the speaker , they be the best part of the unit ... +304 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 the set up be really easy for this . . but for some reason I can not get all the speaker to work . the color code wire make it idiot proof . . but the mid range speaker will not work . +791 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 have good quality sound and have some great feature . Problem be can not plug into you tv and satalite to have surround sound for both . but for the price it work great . +410 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 we finally get around to mount the speaker up properly , only to find the unit do not work properly . it will read low-budget dvd like `` little rascal '' collection -lrb- buy at Christian bookstore -rrb- and a music tutorial dvd , but it will not read any dvd rental or purchase from Blockbuster and the like . the unit only show the `` no disk '' indication . the only menu I can get be the general menu option when dvd\/cd player be select . DSP , equalize , and other button do\/indicate\/select nothing . this statement on Amazon and other seller ' site be a lie : `` Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby pro Logic decoding ; Dolby pro Logic II generate 5.1 surround signal from any stereo -lrb- 2-channel -rrb- source '' the unit default to stereo mode when aux 1 or aux 2 or select , so there be no way to get surround sound from this thing except if it be encode on a dvd that will actually play . nothing in the manual or on the box support the claim of the seller that it will `` generate surround signal from any stero -lrb- 2-channel -rrb- source . '' this be a figment of a sale ' department imagination . I be severly mislead into buy this junk because of this false claim as I be specifically look for a cheap way to get surround sound into that room . the previous homeowner leave hole in the wall from they home theater , but since this be a room we do not use much , I opt for a cheap way to cover the hole with speaker and bring surround sound to my directv viewing\/cd playing in that room . add to that the fact that no rental dvd will work , it be a extreme ripoff . of course the receipt be nowhere to be find so I can not even have the unit service under warranty even though I have the box , UPC , and manual . even if I do , I suspect I will be tell that the disclaimer in the manual be interpret to mean there be never any guarantee the unit would play -lrb- undamaged , clean -rrb- rental or purchase commercial dvd 's . +425 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 awesome sound for such a small system . Great for small New York apartment where space be at a premium . +564 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 they be pretty good at do what they be suppose to do . relatively easy to mount up and strong enough for pretty heavy speaker -lrb- 2.86 lb -rrb- . of course it be a little pricey but what choice do you have ? these be the cheapest one that get the job do nicely . the only weakness I notice be with the keyhole mount option . it have a little give but then again there be only one screw hold the speaker to the mount . do not be afraid to tighten all those screw down really hard to get they to stay where you want they , the mount can handle it . also , I 'll share what help I to mount they in the exact position I want they in . just a simple guide in case you be have trouble on how to go about it . 1 . I separate the piece -lrb- except for the elbow joint -rrb- . 2 . I mount the end piece to the speaker tightly so there be no give . 3 . I tape up all the wall mount to test out the optimal spot for the speaker then attach they with the supply hardware . 4 . I take one speaker at a time and put the slightly tighten elbow to it and wiggle they around on the wall attachment till I have they in a good position . 5 . I then gently slip off the speaker and tighten the elbow in the right position on the wall -lrb- both the actual elbow and where the elbow connect to the wall mount -rrb- . 6 . ran the wiring to the mount -lrb- good luck , it suck get the wire around live room nicely -rrb- 7 . attach the speaker wire to the speaker and tighten the speaker mount to the elbow . 8 . Voila !!! what a pain , especially on a 7.1 system , but so worth it in the end . wow , I feel like a real handy man now -lrb- or handy person , no offense lady -rrb- . +130 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 can not find any tech datum for this item ? can not rate this item . +28 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I love these speaker . my favorite feature be the night mode where it tone down the sound where its loud enough for you , quiet enough for the next room over during the night hour . +379 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 ... look for a decent , reasonably price unit in store be a joke , so do not waste you time . after look on line , we take a chance on this unit , and have not regret it . I be sure there be better system out there , but you will pay a arm and a leg for they . this one do the job and be more than worth the money and trouble to order it on line . the only complaint we have be that the system will not allow you to control the speaker individually , but I be not sure that this be a option that any system give you , so take that comment with a grain of salt . other than that , the sound be great , the system be aesthetically please , and if you already have a dvd player and do not need a system that include one , this be a must purchase for you . +306 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 buy this system when it be `` today 's Deal '' . so far , I have not be the least bit disappointed . as many other reviewer point out , if you be look for big sound for a big room this probably be not you best bet . however , if you be look to add some punch to you weak tv speaker in a smaller room this system be great . I do not want wire run all over so a sound bar be my best option . I really like the fact that the sub be build into the controller . overall , I be very satisfied . +987 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 it have be a long and arduous journey for I to find a home theater system that meet two simple expectation . when I finally find this system it not only meet those simple expectation , it blow they away . this be the third system that I have purchase , the other -lrb- a Sony and a Kenwood -rrb- be not pass muster . my first expectation be that the sound system should work , and the Kenwood fail here when its Subwoofer stop work in a literal cloud of smoke . my second expectation be that it should sound good , and this be where the Sony fail . this onkyo system sound so much better than those other model in the $ 300 to $ 350 price range that I would gladly pay twice that after have to set-up and return two system . the package be deliver by freight -lrb- for Free by Crutchfield , whom I also recommend -rrb- and it be a large , heavy box . the receiver have some real heft to it , and appear to be very well make . the speaker be much larger than the standard fare with home theater system right now , and you will be glad they be once you hear they . there be six speaker in total , include three surround . the subwoofer have a powerful ten inch driver that will really add reinforcement to action movie and good soundtrack . there be 1000 watt in total go to all seven speaker . this be a setup that be better suit for a larger room , mine be about 15 ' by 30 ' . it would probably overpower a room that be not big enough . the system itself be a little complicated to figure out but have many feature . there be a build in crossover for the subwoofer that can be set from 80-150hz , and the volume can be adjust for each speaker . Make sure you have a optical cable from to connect the dvd player to it to fully take advantage of 6.1 surround . one of the most important aspect of a system be have a well design remote control . the remote control for this unit be a little large , but the button be spread out and illuminate for ease of use , although I have not yet figure out what they all do . this system also have the ability to play a stereo signal through all of its speaker , something the Sony and Kenwood system could not do . the Onkyo will also take a 5.1 signal and convert it to a 6.1 signal by blend the left\/right rear signal together into a rear center signal . there be also a `` late night '' feature that will make quiet noise louder and the loud noise softer so that you can listen to a movie quietly and still hear everything , among other feature that I have not yet get around to discover . be warn , this system be not the easiest to set up or to operate , but the result can not be deny . it work . it sound good . buy it . +166 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I use it in my bedroom and the sound quaility be much better than the tv speaker , the output be not too lound as use in a bedroom , the only draw back be it have no hdmus input , so you can not connect any hdmus device to it . +527 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I be super excite to give this as a gift for christmas . unfortunately we system sound like angry chipmunk when its turn on ... we have try several change in setting and to no avail . I be overly dissapointed especially after do week of research on several system and finally choose this one . never again ! not to mention that it arrive in a marked box and be deliver to the person whom the gift be for ! shame on you AMAZON !! FYI I purchase all the other compatable cable etc , we tv be a Visio itself and it still sound terrible . +406 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I have have this system for almost a year now . every thing on it work great . there be a few exception like hold the ff and rw to actually rewind and fast forward . also , to those look for true wireless please think . do you want you speaker to be run on battery ? it have to have a terminal to connect to the back speaker . I be have to send the system in because the fan be bust due to a power surge . a minnor hasle , over all it produce great sound and great picture quality . Great for beginner and expert user for a affordable price +359 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 Easy set up and connect to wifi easily . however , disc player result in tv screen go blank in the middle of dvd 's for a second or so in the middle of program , in some case multiple time . menu for multus episode dvd often do not play . Software would not update through wifus which Samsung customer support -lrb- call several time -rrb- attribute to higher than usual call volume -lrb- for a week -rrb- , server problem -lrb- for a week -rrb- , and in one case the guy blame my tv -lrb- ironically also a Samsung -rrb- . customer support be not very helpful . sound quality be mediocre and wireless rear speaker almost useless . however , the blank screen experience and inability to get this fix make the unit useless and I return it since it be defective . my guess be that Samsung have not develop the software and that they home theater unit should be avoid . +38 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 fabulous ! so what do a electronically challenge person do ? look for the simplest , yet best the market have to offer . I admit I be not a `` audio guru '' , but the sound this system produce for the price be great ! I compare it with the bose 3-2-1 , and this system win hand down . my goal be to not have obnoxious , obtrusive speaker and wire overtake my room , and this absolutely fit the bill ! it be a small , attractive system with great sound . I purchase the system for sound with my LG 47 '' 1080p lcd hdtv -lrb- which I should have purchase from Amazon for a much lower price ... my bad ! -rrb- and be totally enjoy the sound with dvd 's as well as CD 's and fm radio . however , because I be electronically challenge , I have not yet be able to figure out how to make the sound come out of the tv -lrb- which be the whole point for the system -rrb- . nonetheless , I be enjoy this amazing system and look forward to enjoy it even more when I can get it to work with my tv ! +492 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I buy this system after both my parent and grandparent buy it for themselves . everyone one love they 's , include myself . this sysetem be very nice since it be a reciver amplifier and dvd player all in one . which cut down on the wire and the annoyance of move seprate component , uh ... when you move . also the amplifier be very powerful which make the passive subwoofer better sound then my previous active subwoofer system . another great feature be the fact that it play both super audio cd and dvd-audio which be amazing for a system of this price . in actuality I have listen to a number of more exspensive system , and I actually think that this system be better then a number of they . if you have any doubt about the system after you buy it just listen to Star Wars episode 2 with it and you decision will be validate . +799 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I order this from Amazon just about this time last year & the ks3101 be still play every dvd I throw into it...store-bought , rental , dvd + and dvd - that I have burn with my computer . I have a 27 '' tv with rca in\/out jack , so I be no audio or video expert -lrb- nor do I have pocket deep enough to become one -rrb- . the sound be infinitely better than the tv 's built-in speaker -lrb- the main reason I purchase it -rrb- , the dvd player be much more compatible than my Panasonic progressive scan dvd player -lrb- which I pay about $ 70 for and will not play dvd + & have trouble with paper label dvd 's -rrb- . I do not expect it to crap out soon -lrb- hope not either -rrb- , but if it do I would still consider it a good buy for the much , much improve sound quality while watch the tube and the ~ 300 movie I have watch on it without a glitch . +765 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I have own this dvd player for quite sometime ... late 03 ' or early 04 ' ? . . can not remember but I have not have a problem w \/ it . I actually like that it support multiple video format ... i use it at time to double ck unlabled datum disc ... -lrb- i forget to label ... argh ! i know ! -rrb- all I can say be that i have have no problem w \/ it ... but if someone can recommend I to site where i can get a replacement remote ? ... long story short ... my remote melt ... thanks in advance ! +297 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this system be great !

I live in a single family detach home , and be listen to the HQ \*\* 2 mix of Toni Braxton 's `` hit the Freeway '' one evening and be surprise to find the local cop knock on my door . this system put out !! the bass from the subwoofer be the problem ... I turn it down now whenever I hit the Toni Braxton track . ; - -rrb- my only complaint be I now have three remote to juggle ... one for the receiver , one for the dvd\/vcr combo and one for my tv . need to shop around for a good universal remote that be compatible . oh yea , and the lead display on the tuner be blue , and the dvd\/vcr display be green ... what be up with that ? +238 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be a awesome sound system ! no matter what size the room , it make you feel like you in a small movie theater . the receiver do great with all dolby 5.1 . , and it work great with Digital Cable or a dish . buy this and you will not be sorry ! +215 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 Audiovox dv1201 5.1-channel dvd home Theater System +870 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I have own this device for about 4 year now . most of these review up here be good enough to describe how it work , but if you be technically incline , please read on . use the device as a receiver be definitely not recommend . in Dolby pro Logic mode , delay can be anywhere from 40m to 80m . with Dolby Digital , the delay be worse -lrb- roughly 160m to 180m -rrb- , so voice seem can be delay . this be definitely noticeable when watch standard definition channel as they be not in Dolby Digital . mouth move and then voice come . however , if you plan on use this with any video game , be warn . be sure to calibrate you game -lrb- Rock Band and Rock Band 2 allow you to adjust the delay in video and audio separately -rrb- . without the fact that be play dvd , I would have rate this a 2 star . but since it play dvd well , I have to up the rating . dvd playback be good , but it lack the tech that come with today 's dvd player . back in the day , this be a decent product . now , it be time to move on . +342 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 overall I be and still be very impressed with the sound and build quality of the system . however the main negative point that irritate I be the fact the the system have hardly any connectivity , especially that there be no digital input , which as the AUXILLARLY curcuit ` only ' support Dolby Pro-Logic , unable I to watch sky movie and use my XBOX etc in Dolby 5.1 as intend , and as I have pay over # 350 for the device be disappointing . +680 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 the product be awesome , no complaint about how it work and sound but be careful , this be not a 100 % wireless system .

I would feel confident purchasing from they again , and my gift recipient will love it . +557 Jewelry NEU 3 I find this ring to be a little disappointing in person . the quality be good , and the weight be ok , but not as heavy as a solid s\/s ring due to the spinner ! I notice right away that the area behind the greek key design be not black -lrb- as depict in the picture , -rrb- but rather a light matte gray . it be funny , but I take a quick shot of it with my `` Photo Booth '' camera build into my MacBook pro , to include as a attachment , but alas it too look darker in this shot than it do in person . ship be quick , customer service be pretty responsive . overall , a happy purchase , I 'll keep it and be wear it as I type this review . +385 Jewelry POS 4 the ring be very nice but shipping take longer than expect . +19 Jewelry POS 5 the ring arrive on time and be the one show in the picture . inexpensive , nice-looking , and my girlfriend like it ! +887 Jewelry POS 5 very pretty ring - I love the triangle cut cz .

I just think it make that look a little cheap , although you can only tell when you take it apart . Mine also do not simply fall apart , but it be loose -- but that make sense because the ring be mean to come apart ! +142 Jewelry NEU 3 a good price for a pretty ring ... but if you be intend for a `` daily wear '' kind of ring , you may want to look further . the marcasite stone begin to fall out after the first few month of wear ... +994 Jewelry POS 5 very please with this ring . Perfect size for a active person - relatively low profile .

I have to go back and order a size up , which I never have to do unless the band be really very wide all around . I should have realize since there be no graduation to the band and it be the same size all around that this could be a problem if it be not exactly true to size . I have other band of this width where the size be not a issue , so I either get one just a bit off , or it do run small . otherwise great ring . I hope the next size up be not too big . +82 Jewelry NEU 3 I get the ring today . it be deliver sooner than I have expect , which be good . the ring look nice . the stone be clear and sparkle . the band width be as describe . however , there be only four prong , not six prong as be describe . I do not mind that it only have four prong , but I expect six prong from the description . also , the stone be loose a bit . I can twist it and see it move . the stone could have be set tighter if it be six prong rather than four . I hope the stone will not fall off any time soon . +184 Jewelry POS 5 I receive this ring as a Christmas gift and it be absolutely the most beautiful ring ever . I want a ring that do not stand up too high , which can catch on thing , and this one be perfect . the design be even more beautiful than the photo -- when view from the side , one can see through the intricate , delicate silverwork , reminiscent of a beautiful old bridge . know that these ring be not mass-produced , but be cast individually upon order , from genuine antique mold , make it all the more special . my ring be make especially for \* I \* ! precious beyond compare . the ring available at the local jewelry store can not compare to this ring . oftentimes my son and I have pass a jewelry store advertising ring of $ 1000 or more that be not half as lovely . you could not get I to trade this ring for any of they ! I simply could not ask for a more beautiful ring . I think I fall more in love with it every day . +48 Jewelry POS 4 when I order this ring , I expect a possibility of cheap metal , and a pink stone . the quality of metal I receive be quite nice . however , the stone be not pink at all , it look like a faux diamond\/cz . if you do not mind not get the color expect , I would say go for it . this ring have hold up , while wear it everyday and even not take it off when I shower , it show no sign of ware , the band look great and the stone be set very securely ! great quality ! +583 Jewelry POS 5 buy this for my teenager who like the vintage spoon ring but love this one even more and will not take it off ! non-adjustable but fit she finger perfectly so it be not a problem . very detail and quality . +104 Jewelry POS 5 this ring be absolutely beautiful ! the pic do not do it justice . I have wear it everyday since it be deliver and I completely love the way it look . the only downfall be that it do not come in 1\/2 size .

I receive a size 12 -lrb- which do not seem to be available on the website today ! -rrb- and for $ 14 or so it be a nice piece of jewelry . however , be aware that the script be make from a one-sized casting ; they just cut and solder it together to fit whatever size outer ring you order . so in my case the om script repeat almost twice , but they cut and solder it in the middle of a syllable .

I would recommend this item to anyone ... just remember to email and get the instruction . +566 Jewelry NEU 3 in the picture the ring appear mostly white , and well half mine be whitish and the other half be translucent. , so i be a little upset at that , but it be a $ 5 ring so you get what you pay for . do not feel like plastic to I , feel more like glass and have a neat glow . biggest downside be it be massive thickness . i buy both this ring and the onyx band and the onyx be much thinner and comfortable and you could forget you wear it . I feel the moonstone be there the entire time i have it on . +784 Jewelry POS 5 I just get my ring and I be really impressed with it .

I buy one for my daughter and my sister -lrb- same age -rrb- and they be very pretty ring . +985 Jewelry NEG 1 this pill box be extremely difficult to open once it be close . and I be not some arthritic senior citizen , but a active 35 year old with good dexterity . the lid fit too tightly once it be snapped shut , and the lip of the lid be flush with the bottom piece . very aerodynamic I be sure , but you 'll break all you fingernail try to pry it open . I have to use a nail file tip to open it again . also , the craftmanship of the piece be poor in general , especially for a item of this price . the sticker inside say `` make in Thailand '' , and frankly it show . save you money and look for something else . +290 Jewelry POS 5 I buy this ring as a gift for a friend . she like it so much she have since become my girlfriend ! Ok , well , she do not become my girlfriend because of the ring , but she do really like it , and I have no hesitation in give it to she because the craftsmanship be very impeccable . she love wear it and I wish other jewelry I have buy in the past be the same quality .

I just get it to wear everyday instead of my good one . +625 Jewelry NEU 3 this ring look very nice . be careful though , I have already get a scratch in the cz . it be not that noticable . the ring itself have not tarnish like another user say - of course , I do not wear it when do the dish or take a shower or anything . it be a nice costume ring that look great in the daytime or evening . +851 Jewelry POS 5 beautiful ring ! fit perfectly & go great with the other band I buy from Gem . will definitely buy from again !!! +20 Jewelry POS 5 I have to have a item return for it be the wrong thing , but once i get my ring - it be worth the wait , in quality . thank you ! +223 Jewelry POS 4 this ring be not bad . basically , I lose the diamond in my engagement ring . the prong break and my diamond fall out somewhere on the street downtown as I ride my bicycle through the city . I be very sad . and my hand feel very lonely . I have be marry for 7 year and I have wear that ring for 8 . we have a few choice . I could buy a new ring or a new diamond . the thing be , I be not much on jewelry . my wedding set be all I really own . it be a lovely gesture for my husband to buy I a $ 1,500 ring when we get engage , but I can not see spending that sort of money again . when we get we tax return , I be buy a $ 1,500 bicycle and I some how have to believe I will get far more enjoyment from that than a ring . I think about drop a few hundred on a nicer `` fake '' ring , but you know what , when it come down to it , I just want the symbol to be there . I figure if this ring suck , it be $ 10 . no big deal . when the ring arrive , the cz look larger than I expect , but I guess I do not read the description very well . it be about a carat size . I think it would look less fake if it be a tad smaller , but oh well . the band be a bit lackluster next to my actual white gold\/diamond wedding band , but it be not terrible . the cz sparkle very nicely in low light setting like bar , restaurant etc. . in direct light , it be a bit iffy , as the large flat top surface reflect light instead of refract it . -lrb- I believe this be the correct term . -rrb- overall , it be worth $ 10 . I have wear it for about two week and receive some compliment . no one have question it so far , but I be also not flat out show it to people\/flashing it around . I be simply wear it as I have worn my other ring for the past 8 year . I will say that the band be already scratch up , but I be very very tough on jewelry . I never take my ring off and my gold band be pretty rough up at this point as well . +565 Jewelry POS 5 I buy this for my son to give he girlfriend as a promise ... lol if she only know ! what a great good deal I get on it . . this be my 3rd purchase from gem ave , and I have to say I cant wait to buy again ! everything they have-sell be nice and affordable ! shipping be lighten fast !!!! +420 Jewelry POS 5 I buy this for my mom for mother day and I know she be go to love it . it be a beautiful ring , exactly as it be describe , will look great with everything !! +800 Jewelry POS 4 this moonstone ring look great , but be kind of bulky . I do not wear it all the time , but when I do , I can not stop play with it in the light . this be a fun ring for a great price . +523 Jewelry POS 4 the ring be beautiful the stone be the same width as the band so from above it look like a band but it be pretty and shiny so if you have small hand like I or dont want anything to large or be just on a budget this be the perfect ring . +832 Jewelry NEU 3 it could be better and it could be silver for the same price . now that be a consept +905 Jewelry POS 5 after have to sell my original wedding set due to a tough economy I be fervently search for a suitable replacement . I order MANY CZ ring and they always leave I want .

I be surprise when i get the band that it look so real . the diamond look like real diamond . no one could tell the difference !! I highly recommend this ring !! it have not change color and it look like platinum . +483 Jewelry NEG 2 the ring itself be pretty and sturdy , but beware what size you order because despite use a size chart , the actual puzzle ring never come in the right size . I waste a lot of time and money try to get the right size because the customer service be really slow and unhelpful . unlike some better puzzle ring website I have see , this one do not offer any guide or suggestion for choose the correct ring size . +866 Jewelry POS 5 I love this ring , its so pretty .

I have sensitive skin so I can not wear the ring from the dept. store , but this ring , despite the price , have not affect my skin . the rhodium coating be what help that . I be wear this as my wedding band since I lose my set . ca not tell it be `` cheap '' ! it be ship right away , as well . \*\*\* Editing this review year later . it be now Jan 2013 and I be on here order a new one . we be not ready yet to replace my original set with a nice anniversary band , so I be back here to buy a new one after have have to cut this ring off . I bent the ring when I be pregnant and try to cut it off my finger , after the finger swell ... Anyways , this ring last great . I once tell a friend that this ring be only $ 20 , she be shock . the quality have last through out the year . I be pay $ 20 for what I would pay for a very basic band at a jeweler for $ 100 + . the ring never do irritate my skin and the jewel never fall out . the band do slightly dull after some time , but it be not noticeable . +306 Jewelry POS 5 I be very pleased to see that this product look exactly like in picture and even better . +987 Jewelry POS 5 love this ring . it arrive exactly as picture . I buy it for my 13-year old daughter for Christmas . she wear it all the time , and receive many compliments\/questions about it . it feel very solid , not like some flimsy one we have see at store that cost double the price . -lrb- she be want one ever since she be watch old episode of `` Buffy the Vampire Slayer '' on dvd , and see Angel give Buffy a beautiful ring like this . -rrb- +166 Jewelry POS 5 it arrive earlier than I hope ! it be very pretty , and comfortable to wear !

I get lot of compliment too . I wear it all the time but need to be mindful with certain thing while wear it ... like play in the sand , work in clay , anything that can get in between the two piece . what ever get in it work its way out after you spin it repeatedly . +38 Jewelry NEG 1 this ring look very cool although the silver look much darker than the picture , more like pewter -lrb- look like -rrb- . the ring I receive be a size 12 . I be a 10 1\/2 on my ring finger and it be way too big , but too small for my middle finger . the ring on that lay past the knuckle and towards the fingernail be the same size as the ring that sit on the base . what this do wind up do be leave part of the ring that be suppose to bend still in the air because I be able to bend my whole finger and not even move the hinge of the ring . also the hinge be very painful due to the odd spike they use to fasten it together . after four minute of wear I have large indent in my knuckle . remind you that with the ring be about two size too BIG . imagine if this actually fit my finger . the delivery be fast and the sale rep I get be very nice and be allow I to exchange for a different ring that hopefully will fit and not be as painful . I do not know about Dans ' other jewelery but this one stink . just do not buy it . +492 Jewelry NEU 3 I really like the picture , the hand be PRNOUNCED and heart stand out-said 1\/2 '' which I think WAS A GOOD SIZE , QUITE DISSAPOINTED when i got it , it be very SMALL , more like for a 10yr . old , hand be barely noticeable and ring seem lack from what I expect , SORRY . +799 Jewelry POS 5 I would like to note the heart be a darker red than picture . after a day of wear and tear at work there be some scratch , as I expect would happen . the heart come in perfect shape . I have no complaint . Worth the price and then some . very cute . +765 Jewelry NEG 2 so it shine a little but so many imperfection the metal band be cheap disformed and tarnish within a hour of wear it , i think simply cuz its cheap metal and get wet . the heart doesnt look allot like a heart untill you get close up . cute if its gunna be a play ring or for a yooung teen . as far as wear this thing im ashamed : -lrb- +297 Jewelry NEG 1 it be a very pretty ring . its stone stand out really far and it catch on everything I touch . the ring last two day and I notice that the stone be go . a total waste of money . +238 Jewelry POS 5 I receive this ring yesterday . size be spot on . although it come as review with four prong , it look great . Super sparkle in a White Diamond facet cut . I only wish the top prong do not hide the Heart Cut notch . best of the buy in cz . +215 Jewelry NEU 3 I purchase this ring as a pinky ring . it be beautiful and well make but all it take be one hit against a door handle and it crack . so while I do really like this purchase I would not recommend for every day use . maybe it could be party wear : -rrb- +870 Jewelry POS 4 the ring have a nice weight to it , without be too heavy . if that make sense . it be pretty solid as well . what be ship to I be very similuar , but be a different ring . the ship have all its tooth and a triangle nose cavity . not a big deal , it just seem a little odd . +342 Jewelry POS 5 its cool ring , i have get many color of it , its strong solid . buy it you will not regret ; -rrb- +680 Jewelry NEU 3 the ring be very sparkely , however the purple color be not nearly as deep and rich look as the picture . it be very light , almost a lavender , and do not really look Amethyst at all . I do not believe this be the seller 's fault - and be very happy with other item I order from they and the speed of delivery . +256 Jewelry NEU 3 we buy this along with the '' .925 Sterling Silver 6 mm wide Plain Band ring '' as temporary commitment band . this one be hold up a lot nicer . it be be baby would though . it will do until we can buy the actual wedding band . you get what you pay for but this be a decent ring for the price . +124 Jewelry POS 5 a truly amazing piece of work , it be great to watch my son qwiver with exitment and joy upon open the gift . of note if you want to bring this product into australium one need to fill in custom form and get ` permission to import weapon other than fire arm ' fill in by the firearm branch of the state police .

I have have previous Logitech product and always be please with they , but I also do a great deal of research and read many review , so I end up choose this one . the price be also best here on Amazon ; especially give shipping be free . since I have not type on a full-sized keyboard in year , it take awhile to get use to ; especially since I use it on my lap in place of my lap-top ; but I have work it out . my lap-top screen break just after a year when the warranty , of course , have just expire , and I would already attach my old desk-top 17 '' flat-top monitor that have be collect dust for year , so I figure I would lighten the load and a little heat on my lap and use a external keyboard for my still fairly new souped-up custom-built lap-top that be in otherwise great condition . have get spoil to the backlit key on my lap-top , though , I could not live without it ; especially since I be a night owl . the back-lighting on this keyboard be brighter and the character be larger , so it be even easier on my older eye than before . that it be wireless make it even more endearing . it beat the heck out of have to lift my heavy lap-top on and off my lap every time I get out of my recliner , and since I be disabled and rarely leave home , and I probably would not pack it up and take it with I anywhere I go anyway anywhere , I essentially have a new desk-top that I can use from my recliner ; -rrb- I love the feel of the key , even though they be a bit stiffer and noisier than on a lap-top . I actually do not mind the stiffness , because I type so fast I make less typo , yet it be not so much pressure that my finger get overly tired . I wear earphone almost constantly , so the noise do not bother I , nor would it anyway ; and since I do not text much , it do not bother anyone else either . I love the feature where the backlighting turn off after dormant for just a second or two . you actually have to rest the palm of you hand on the bottom of the keyboard or strike a key in order for it to come back on . keep in mind that if you be not typing but keep you palm rest on the keyboard , though , the lighting will stay on and will consequently drain you battery quicker . I love that it have a on\/off switch for that reason , because even if I plan on keep it on my lap and use it to type only intermittently , I can easily turn it on and off . I would always use a mouse instead of the touchpad on my lap-top and primarily serf without need for text anyway . I have use the keyboard every day , but since I do not tend to text much , I have only have to recharge it twice in over a month , but you can also still use it while you be recharge it . I can not speak to any special function key as I do not use any of they . I love have the volume control and calculator key , though , and the placement in the right upper corner be easily accessible . I would long miss not have a numeric pad on any of my lap-top , so I be glad to have that back on this keyboard . I be extremely pleased with it , and believe I 'll be use it for year : -rrb- +220 Keyboard POS 5 I buy this as a replacement for a old -lrb- but good , I think -rrb- Gateway keyboard . this be the best keyboard I have use in my 30 year of use computer . well build and for I it be the Rolls Royce of keyboard . the fact that it be a smaller layout work fine for I . I have average size hand that fit very nicely on the soft touch key . plus it be a classy look piece +848 Keyboard NEG 1 the '' \ '' key be located somewhere very uncomfortable -lrb- below `` enter '' -rrb- . as I do a lot of programming and need to type the key pretty often , it be just a painful to use the keyboard . I regret I have not examine the layout of key carefully before purchase it . +276 Keyboard POS 4 it be light , white plastic bake , require 2 aaa battery , the top look like a aluminum apple keyboard but it be plastic , type well , function key work although I be not sure what each one be for -lrb- there be no instruction -rrb- . insert battery turn on Bluetooth on iPad then I press the black connect button on he back of the keyboard make sure Bluetooth recognize the keyboard select it then synce it with a 4 digit code that pop up in a screen on the ipad then test it out . work great ! so for I it work its light weight only have it for a few day and I have not use it much . it each time I turn it on and off -lrb- to save battery -rrb- it work fine without need to sync it or anything . so for I it be a good purchase for now . I have no idea how long it will last but for now it get the job do and for $ 50 less than the authentic apple version . for now I be happy to save $ 50 I mean eventually I 'll probably get the apple one but I be happy with my purchase . I just would have like some instruction so I could use all the key instead of just trial and error ... hope this help ... I do not usually write review but this be pretty cool to have . +776 Keyboard POS 4 this keyboard work wonderfully with my ipad 2 and I have have little difficulty with it . yes , it be cheap and obviously not as durable as the official Apple one , but you be pay a fraction of the price - what do you expect ? if you be nice to it , it will serve you a nice , long time and it will work . very , very rarely , the connection will cut in and out , result in about ten seconds where you can not use it . but it resolve itself and , like I say , it be a rare occurrence . the range on the keyboard seem to vary . sometimes I can use it across the room , other time I can not bring it more than six foot away . but it do not really matter , because I almost always use it near my ipad . other than its relatively cheap design , there be nothing bad to say about this keyboard . it be a steal at its current price of $ 17ish dollar . +202 Keyboard POS 4 I buy this for the spill-proof bit after ruin a few kb . ironically since then - a year - no spill have test it LOL . but for a cheap unit it have a nice approximation of the clicky-ness of a IBM Model 5 -lrb- still the best -rrb- . I have use a lot of cheap unit and the extra metal spine on this give a slightly more solid feel . I do not mind the extra key above Home etc , no prob , but I must admit htign \ \ \ \ itt the backspace key accurately have be a problem . and I be not even a touch typist . other than that , well worth the buck . +555 Keyboard POS 4 great keyboard ! use it currently ! the space bar be a little flimsy at time but be great for internet surfing ! find myself typing equal alot rather than hit backsspace , which cause the 4\/5 star MYCARRYINGCASE Aluminum 78 Key Wired usb Mini Keyboard for PC , Mac , PS3 , xbox360 -lrb- product dimension around 11.25 '' x4 .75 '' -rrb- +787 Keyboard POS 4 I love this keyboard for gaming use . i only have two problem with it , the button on the side get lose and fall off . the other problem that i have be the bottom wrist bar have weak hinge and be on the line of break off . also the touchscreen panel take a little force to work . but other than that it be a wonderful keyboard and i would buy it if you be look for a backlit keyboard . +882 Keyboard POS 4 the delivery be within 7 day with free shipping . keyboard sync 's up ok , sometimes it take awhile . it have only have one position for the ipad2 to sit . when the ipad2 sit face down it go into sleep mode but no-way to lock it in close position so be careful not to drop ipad2 . keyboard structure seem sturdy and key take time to get familiar with . for less than $ 30 , it be a good buy . just get it so i will find out how long it will last . +418 Keyboard POS 5 need a mobile key board that I could roll up and use on remote site . the product work great . only downside be that it take a while to learn how to do speed typing with it . +830 Keyboard POS 4 after check out the web site try to find out when this product would be available , it arrive ! what a cool look product ! it come in a neoprene case and have a metal look to it . what I like the most about the product be input address and email . if I would of have this product when I first buy the old Palm pilot year ago , I would of save hour . the only downside I see to the product be that it be not a `` durable '' keyboard . you have to have it on a flat , hard surface to use -lrb- not on you lap -rrb- . the w-fold do not lock once it be open , so make sure you keep it on a desk when you be use it and do not just pick it up with one hand like you can with you pc keyboard . if you type memo , email or travel with you Palm , buy this product ! +204 Keyboard POS 5 I just get the mk710 package and the keyboard be a mk700 keyboard with a m705 mouse . I just contact logitech and they explain that the new mk710 use a mk700 keyboard with unifying receiver support . the reason they explain that the mk710 box do not say mk700 on it because they already have a product float around in store call the mk700 without unifying receiver . they call it mk710 as a way to say it be a upgrade from mk700 . if you be to purchase the mk700 package and look under the keyboard it will say mk700 without the unifying receiver symbol print on the back . the mk710 package have the mk700 keyboard with the unifying receiver symbol print on the back of the keyboard . this be a new keyboard with unifying receiver support . so do not think that the one you purchase be a different product because it be not . +558 Keyboard POS 5 Ok , at first I could not get this to work . when I copy the driver over to the phone and when I finally find a app call `` appinstaller '' I be able to install this app . well I get that far think this be not that bad . wrong . it will not activate ... then I read a review from someone here on amazon in this thread . anyway , this be what I do . I when to setting , wireless and network . turn on my bluetooth with a check . go into Bluetooth setting . scan for device and there it be . I tap the Micro Keyboard that be find and enter `` 0000 '' and tap ok . then I go to my keyboard and enter `` 0000 '' and enter . can you believe ? it work the device say connect to hide . think there may be more to what I do to get this to work because I do install another free app call `` BlueInput '' for hid that be still on my phone . if you have trouble play with this app then go back to what I say above . sorry for all these crazy instruction . Quickoffice work great and I love this keyboard . I read some of the other review on the f key and think that be good info . if you want contact I I be all ear . it work great on my Droid X. that be cool the touch pad work great as do the directional key in quick office . this be so cool . have a great day ... +69 Keyboard NEG 1 battery do not fit properly . work briefly with some jerry-rigging . now will not work at all . you get what you pay for ... +722 Keyboard POS 4 well in general , work great i have use it in LOTR Online , Diablo III , Minecraft , the one and only problem i have be that my spacebar look like it be only light from one side , so the etched bar that run across the space bar run from bright red on the right side to very dim red on the left , also the evenne of the lighting through various key be off , in particular with the back light on high my b , v , a , z , and right ctrl key look brighter than the rest . it be a little annoying but only noticeable in the dark . +593 Keyboard POS 4 this cover fit perfectly . it be not hard to type with it on either , oftentimes I forget that it be there ! the only drawback be that you can not see the key light up under the cover . this make it especially hard to type at night in the dark . but other than that it be excellent and do its job . +813 Keyboard NEG 1 read all these review about great Battery Life but my mouse battery die in less than 2 month and worst of all there be no battery strength indicator either !! I be not satisfy with this product +325 Keyboard NEU 3 have it a few hour . so far it be okay . I be still get use to the subtle difference in key spacing , but none of the key be swap as other have report . I like the mechanical feel of the key , and even on the lowest set the backlighting be brighter than my old g15 . but they be loud - even louder than the Dell mechanical keyboard I use at work . plus , I do not like the style of the key at all . some letter be hardly recognizable ; they be not upper or lower case - they be just weird . but I know where everything 's at on a keyboard anyway , so I 'll probably get use to that . the thing I really dislike be the location of the extra usb port and audio jack . the right side be the last place a right hand person would ever want those jack . if use , the cable stick out right where I use my mouse , and the headset cable drape across where my right hand and arm be which I want to keep free . I can just not use these jack I guess , but this aspect of the design be so pathetic I can not even grasp how it come to fruition . what be also bad about this be the other end of the cable . if I only plug in the main usb connector , the other just hang there put strain on the one that \* be \* connect . if I connect the 2nd usb but do not use it , it waste that port on the back of my pc , and that be not even a option for the audio jack - I have to use they for the headset . so I 'll have to twist-tie the loose end to the case or some other cable or something . \*\* edit \*\* I come back to bump up my rating to 4 star because I find that this keyboard do something great . but then I also discover that another of its tout feature be so flaky it be basically useless , so the rating stay at 3 . okay , \* this \* be great . I find that it let you assign macro or alternate key function to almost ANY key - not just the extra macro key on the side like my g15 limit I to . this mean you can completely move a key around . when I play game , I use Ventrilo for voice chat , but I never really like where I have my left-side push-to-talk key . but with this keyboard , I be able to assign my PPT key to my cap lock key and cap lock to my PTT key - in effect swap they ! this be a simple but extremely powerful feature . however , after set up a profile with several swap key , I have ton of issue with the auto-profile switch feature . basically , it be very flaky . I play around with set the correct . exe to base the profile activation off of , and get it to work - sometimes . other time it just would not work at all . also , I find that when my custom profile activate sometimes it would just deactivate for no reason . but when I pull up the Razer utility from the system tray the checkbox would show as if it be still active . when I click on the profile from there to make it the active one , sometimes it would stay on , but most of the time it would activate and then just go back to the default one a few seconds later . the same thing happen when open up the main utility and select the profile from there . I even try unassign the . exe from my custom profile , and play with all of the option over and over . but basically , no matter what I do ... I could not even get it to stay on a custom profile when manually select it - that be HORRIBLE . I 'll try to completely delete the custom profile and re-create it or maybe even re-install the Razer app ... but I have a bad feeling that if I want the power of the swap key I 'll probably have to permanently swap they in the default profile and that stink , especially when my g\/f or someone else use my keyboard and try to use one of my swap key and get all screw up . +984 Keyboard POS 5 this be great for work . keyboard and mouse be a snap to install . work like a charm in a couple of minute . all hot-keys work well for the web . I can get rid of my `` wire '' remote control for my speaker . this be a great buy for anyone consider it . Worth every penny and good quality . Easy to use !! +109 Keyboard POS 5 the keyboard be a little louder than I have hope but nothing near the worn keyboard that it replace . the key seem to feel durable and the multicolored option of back light be very cool . I can not really say anything about its durability at this time since I have only have it for a month . I can say that it seem to be work perfectly . like other review it would have be nice if the lighting nob be actually a sound nob but its a minor complaint . I miss have specific button pre-programmed for open certain program like calculator . I understand this be programmable but I have not even look into it . its not a concern . I would recommend this product . it feel great , look sleek and make typing the dark a dream . +634 Keyboard NEG 1 these ps2-usb `` adapter '' be the worst thing to ever come from mankind . why ? all they do be switch over wire to a different plug . they do not `` magically '' make ps2 product usb compatible or the other way around . almost never in the product description be this tell . many people have buy these to be very disappointed that they do not work . on the other hand , if you know you have a compatible keyboard , they work well . Make sure you keyboard state it be compatible with usb-ps2 adapter before buy a adapter ! the work of actually convert format be do by the keyboard , not the `` adapter '' . +573 Keyboard POS 4 take some get use to but work well . defineatly reduce stress on the finger and wrist . +183 Keyboard POS 5 I think those ergonomic keyboard be just gimmick by the manufacturer , but when I need a external keyboard for my laptop , I decide to try one of those . at $ 15 , this keyboard do not cost too much above the regular cheap one , so I guess why not try this comfort keyboard . turn out this keyboard be really comfortable ! I do not realize it until I use this keyboard , but on normal straight keyboard , we wrist be actually force to bend a little bit , and this keyboard eliminate that problem . no more strain after hour of write term papers . there be a short learning curve , perhaps 2-3 day , to get use to the different feel of the key ' layout . this keyboard also increase typing speed , especially if you be a touch typist . the increase be pretty significant , sometimes I have press the next button before I lift my finger off the shift key , so my capitalize word look like this . I be use to the amount of time require to press shift button in normal keyboard , so that take I a while to get use to . some shortcut button on top of the keyboard be pretty useful , and no installation whatsoever be require to enjoy those button . the one that I use the most be back\/forward for browse , and volume up\/down\/mute . there be also a handy calculator button above the number pad on the right , which be also very helpful . overall , for $ 15 , this be a excellent purchase . highly recommend for people who earn they living by typing for hour at a time . +552 Keyboard NEG 2 i now know why this be only $ 2.54 . the rubber use trap and catch dust very easily . i intend to use this for my new macbook air , but this be obviously make for the older generation pro because the keyboard backlight barely show through , the cap lock light do not show through at all , and the top right button have a eject button instead of a power button . it fit perfectly fine , but make typing less enjoyable - i do not like the feeling of the rubber and like i say before , it catch dust a lot . bottom line : if you be on a budget , this product will do the trick , but it be very much the `` bare-bones '' of keyboard cover . it be also probably better suit for macbook pro +716 Keyboard POS 4 I can not really write a completely honest review of this keyboard because I return it as soon as I get it . I return it because I misread the description and think it be wireless . I do , however , pull it out of the box to look at it briefly and it seem very nice . it be sturdy , light , and best of all , very compact -lrb- no numeric keypad on the side -rrb- . have it be a wireless keyboard as I originally think , I would have be very satisfy with it . for someone who be look for a wire keyboard that be small in size and durable , this would be the way to go , especially for the price . also , I have no problem at all with return it to Amazon . AMAZON rule !! thanks . +557 Keyboard POS 5 I order this MacBook case on a Saturday , and it be in my mailbox on Monday !!! the case fit perfect on my MacBook 13 '' !!! very impressed !! thanks again , no reservation for do business in the future : -rrb- +385 Keyboard POS 5 ipearl be great ! I receive it fast and I love it ! everything be easy to install and it look great . I can not wait to tell all my friend with a Mac to use ipearl ! thanks ! +19 Keyboard POS 4 the keyboard sport slick design , unique functionality , and it be the most comfortable keyboard I have ever use -lrb- in 15 year of pc use -rrb- . it be a little buggy when use with a KVM though . it will take some get use to , but once you learn how to work with a ergonomic keyboard , you 'll have a hard time go back to a regular keypad . it be a must-have for my fellow carpel-tunnel survivor ! +887 Keyboard NEU 3 use this for a Acer Iconia 500 . it appear to be a bit too large , and mash the side piece do not really do any good . BUT the keyboard work just fine . I suppose I could some velcro , or maybe if I put a light cover on it , then it could firmly slip in , and when need for camera or other - outside the box activity then ease it on out and use it as need . the magnet closure for the case , well that also need to have a pice of velcro in place too ! . my magnet have decide to become de-magnetized and will not work . SO , overall for the moeny spend it will do , it work and have some imperfection , but there again it do not cost alot !! SO if Ya want perfect . . spend the money and get a high end one ... if ya want one that will do and not cost a ton . . then this it . -lrb- kinda like a 2 star hotel . . ! -rrb- +694 Keyboard POS 4 I really like my keyboard skin cover for my Macbook pro 13 late 2011 design . it fit perfectly ! unfortunately the letter on the key do not light up , but it the light that shine through the clear silicone be sufficient for I to work in the dark . only problem I have be that my order be lose in the mail , but the seller be there to help I out in a jiffy . thanks a bunch , it be greatly appreciate ! +958 Keyboard NEU 3 some issue : 1 . NOT kvm compatible , only work with regular usb port . 2 . the leg at the back make the keyboard tilt at a small angle . 3 . no brightness control . 4 . some of letter block backlighting . 5 . only one usb port on the keyboard . 6 . do NOT support usb headset ; only for headset with old fashion mic\/phone jack . +458 Keyboard NEG 1 love it when it work . stop work after 2 month . the battery life be good . the range be fairly limited , about 10 foot usually . +698 Keyboard POS 5 awesome . what more can be say . buy this keyboard because my little brother use to sleep behind I . that mean that all light need to be off . my monitor light be just barely enough to light the keyboard so I would also make error . decide it be time to get a keyboard that be back-lit and when I find this one , I have to have it . very comfortable , nice bar at the wrist so that they may rest . volume control + \/ - \/ mute Lighting option : bright , dim , off Sturdy Nice red - not killer bright , which be actually really good . soft and subtle , but definitely bright enough to light up everything . +142 Keyboard POS 5 I have to order a new keyboard after my original with my iMac succumb to the effect of a cup of coffee . the new one work great . I be very pleased with Apple product . +994 Keyboard POS 5 I have be use the Kinesis advantage for nearly two year . after a couple of week of adjustment to the contoured key , I switch to the Dvorak layout . adjust to the Dvorak layout take about a month , but during that time I still use a flat querty keyboard when I need to crank thing out for deadline . since then , I have enjoy efficient , accurate touch-type with much less hand strain . I would agree with one of the other reviewer that the function key be too flimsy . another sort-of complaint be that while you can remap the key , the key cap for the top , home , and bottom row have distinct shape , so move a key to a different row be somewhat awkward . I end up buy a set of x-keys replacement key cap -lrb- from P.I. engineering -rrb- which let you put you own legend in they . this work great for convert to Dvorak . all in all , a great investment . +847 Keyboard POS 5 first , I agree completely with all the positive review , especially the two extensive , detailed review on the main page -- bravo to the writer . I have be use Logitech product almost exclusively since the company make its first mouse . at present , I have five mouse , three keyboard and a webcam . the only real dud be a scanner , but no one 's perfect . in general , Logitech product be superior to they competitor , especially Microsoft 's . my new k350 replace a less-than-two year old m keyboard which be prone to key not work when they feel like it and have the keyboard handle equivalent of a Mack truck . the k350 be a delight right out of the box , for all the reason give by the other reviewer . I do have two cavil : 1-i like a keyboard with a scroll-wheel on the left side of the deck so I can use both mouse and keyboard interchangeably . grant , no one make they anymore -- I have two make by m and one by Logitech . I buy the k350 because the user 's quide be vague about reprogram the Zoom key - it even fool the salesman , who also check the Logitech website . it take e-mail and call to Logitech to find out it be not possible . -lrb- at least , Logitech do provide extensive customer support , without charge . try to get help from the `` other big guy . '' -rrb- the keyboard would be enhance by make the Zoom key programmable like all those other key and the Users Guide more information-oriented and less-pr . 2-i have have recent durability issue with some of the mouse -- my MX Revolution fail and be replace three time , all under Logitech 's excellent warranty . Logitech need to look at the reliability of they chinese fabricator to make a product that be as excellent in durability as it be in design concept . I would like to believe that this keyboard be not go to need replace in the near-future . all that say , I still prefer Logitech product and would recommend they with almost no hesitation . alas , ten month after purchase , the keyboard start throw off anomalous key-stroke and refusal to register key-stroke . it take several call to Logitech , where I be tell to remove the battery and punch some key several time . this be a temporary fix -- and how many time should a person have to stop productive work to play with he keyboard ? finally , Logitech recognize -- whatever it be they recognize -- and replace the keyboard under warranty . +57 Keyboard POS 4 the keyboard cover come a lot faster then i expect . overall I really like it . the pink do not completely match the whole keyboard but that only if you wanna be really picky about it . I think that it be a must to have and a good product . +403 Keyboard POS 4 buy this for my home theater pc , run Linux . the size , weight , keyboard layout , typing feel , and battery life be all great . it be well balance in the hand , and I can easily type one-handed while stand up , say , for enter a username and password while browse the web . the wireless sensitivity appear to work as advertise , have use it at distance well over 20 ' from my computer . there be a `` left '' mouse button on the front right of the keyboard , so you can use just you right hand for point and click , unless you need to use the `` right '' mouse button . then you have to use you left hand to operate the mouse button on the left side of the keyboard . these left-side mouse button take a little get use to , since my brain be wire to operate mouse button with only my right hand . but after a day or two of use these left-side button feel naturally place . I have also come to rely heavily on the the scroll wheel on the front left of the keyboard . the home\/end\/pgup \/ PgDown key be conveniently position in the right-most column of key right next to the trackball , make for easy page navigation during web browsing , pdf reading , etc. . unfortunately , IOGear have not improve the trackball design from previous model , which other have complain about in Amazon review . out of the box , it feel gritty and rough . this have smooth out somewhat over time , but be still far from perfect . it also wobble in its socket , which make for a wholly unsatisfying experience and reduce accuracy . I use a Logitech Marble mouse with my office computer , which be so smooth and accurate that it make the IOGear trackball seem like a afterthought . if only iogear would improve this one critical part , the keyboard would be the perfect addition to we home entertainment system . that say , I enjoy use the keyboard , and have come to live with the trackball . I still think it be a better setup than balance a separate keyboard and pointer device when sit on a couch . the keyboard come with rechargeable aa battery and usb cable for recharge , which be a nice touch . +782 Keyboard POS 4 for 96c and free shipping , this item be a steal ! the texture itself feel really soft and smooth . -lrb- personal preference -rrb- stick on the key , and doesnt slide off . almost Perfect fit . i only wish theyd cut out the white character so the keyboard back light would go pass through they . +298 Keyboard POS 4 I open this up from its nice packaging and notice when it be close it feel a lot like a little net book . I be very happy initially , but when I go to open the clam shell the first thing I notice be the lid seem cheap and flimsy . I almost feel like I be break it when I open it , but it open fine . I could sure see the plastic hinge break on this lid . the keyboard and bottom of the case be very nice , it feel sturdy , have some nice rubber foot on it to prevent slide . the key on the keyboard be raise enough that its easy to type on they , which be a plus . I use my new ipad 3rd gen and place it in the lid and notice right away again the lid be a issue , the ipad do not feel secure in it , and with the weight the keyboard semus lift up off the ground like its to much back weight . this can be adjust by slide the back out further away from the base to compensate . in fact the whole lid itself that house the ipad can come unattached from the base and you can move the keyboard wherever you want for ease of typing . the pairing process be easy , simply power on the keyboard , and press the connect button , go into the ipad bluetooth setting and select the keyboard , it then prompt you to enter a access code on the keyboard to connect and there you go . the keyboard have a a on and off switch and a lot of hot key for the iPad , for instance one touch home screen , brightness , camera , virtual keyboard , search , and volume control . these all work well when test . when folding the case up with the ipad in the lid , it do not quite feel closed all the way but close . again this go to the fact that my ipad do not feel safe and secure 100 % in this case . there be opening in the lid where they need to be for the camera , and speaker so nothing be obstruct when in the case . the lid do a unique swivel so you can have the iPad vertical or horizontal which be nice . overall the case work , I only give it four star because the lid need some work , it just feel cheap , do not house the ipad securely enough for I , and be so light with the add ipad weight it kind of throw the whole thing out of balance unless you adjust it just right . I just want a little more out of the lid and the secureness of my ipad investment . everything else work great , and its a unique design that work . I like how it feel like a netbook when seal up also . I have carry a netbook around for year and this just feel right . for the price this be a good keyboard for you ipad compare to other out there cost a lot more . I think the top two to beat be the Zag Folio , and the Kensington one , but those be a little more pricey . if you want to stay under the $ 60 mark and have a nice keyboard combo this work . +187 Keyboard NEG 2 the key be shallow and do not provide good feedback . I often find myself fat finger key . due to this I probably use the backspace key more than any other key . appear to be durable and fairly good quality otherwise . I have be use it about a year daily for work and it have hold up well . I really miss the old clickity-clack keyboard -lrb- loud but I probably type twice as fast on those -rrb- . I recommend go with another keyboard . one that have better key feedback . +111 Keyboard POS 5 it match really well with the pearl red cover . I purchase my laptop cover and keyboard cover from ipearl inc. . they both come package nicely . the keyboard cover come in a cardboard envelope that protect it from any crease or fold . here be a link to the laptop cover I purchase http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/b001n7afsg\/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i02 very satisfied ... although it take they forever to actually mail the item out -lrb- 5 day -rrb- , once they actually ship they it only take 2 day !! awesome service . +687 Keyboard NEG 2 this be a update to my previous review . after use it for a few month now , I can tell ya that the key tend to stick for some reason . -lrb- do they not test this in a rigorous manner ? -rrb- also , some key seem brighter than other . so , this keyboard will be a back-up , and I will pick up another Logitech Illuminated Keyboard which be excellent . +103 Keyboard POS 5 i have a 13inch macbook pro and i purchase this to protect the keyboard , i fear that it be go to be cheaply make but let I just say it be not ! its thin and fit perfectly over the key , it do not come up around the edge , and it feel more comfortable for my hand anyways since I be on the computer for extended period of time , definitely recommend , you can not go wrong for the price !!! +737 Keyboard POS 5 this be a awesome deal at $ 99.00 . basically turn you tv into a internet surfing device . Google Chrome be on there and I use it more there than on any other computer at home . Netflix work great , Pandora and Internet video podcast queueing . I subscribe to a number of video podcast and it be great to watch they in hd right from the device . I hear lot of complaint about hook it up and get start , but it be easier than my last Bluray player . +501 Keyboard POS 4 this keyboard have prove so far to be a real solid keyboard ! the backlighting COULD be a little brighter , and the key be a little stiff , but overall it be good quality . if you be plan on buy it , I have read where people be have problem with not be able to boot the computer if this keyboard be plug in . read a little more and find that you have to update you bio . I do before it be even deliver , and I have not experience any problem . +188 Keyboard POS 5 wow ! I wish I buy this sooner ! I spill Pepsi on my old HP OEM wireless keyboard , and it go on the fritz . I could not get a exact replacement so I buy the mk520 combo . it be really great !!! get one !!! +261 Keyboard POS 5 pro : click , Clack , Ooh . Nuff Said . type on the Keyboard Will Make you hand happy con : very expensive usb hub Placement be peculiar icky Piano Key Black Finish this keyboard be provide to I free of charge for the sole purpose of deliver a in-depth and honest review . overall this be hands-down the best keyboard I have ever type on . sure there be better option for gamer out there . but for those of you who spend just as much time typing as I do during a day -- do yourself a favor and pick one of these professional s keyboard up -- it be worth the price . +611 Keyboard POS 5 I do believe that this be the best keyboard for the under 40 dollar range for media center pc . the range be about 15 foot which be more then I be expect and the backlight be perfect for night time before bed movie . im typing on it now and its a little hard to reach the comma button but i didnt buy it to type essay just search on amazon for movie to watch . +82 Keyboard POS 5 after read many of the review post here I decide to go ahead and post my own due to the number of negative 1 star dumb review that I be see . I bet that half of the 1 star review be come from people that either do not have common sense , do not know excrement about what they be talk about , or simply put be not tech savy . people here buy a $ 150 lt Google tv -lrb- post December 2011 when price be lower -rrb- and expect it to work like a $ 500 computer . if any of you one star brainiac can give I a example of any unit currently in the market under $ 200 that can let you surf the web , look at pic , youtube , etc. as the logitech revue do please let I know , because as far as I I have look for a long time and what most closely resemble the Logitech revue be the Roku -lrb- which be junk compare to this in my opinion -rrb- , and then there be the $ 600 apple minus that work like a computer for the low price of $ 600 . I have the Sony and Logitech Google tv . I like they both , but I prefer the Logitech far more due to the keyboard . I agree many of the app currently be offer be worthless , but I barely even use the app , what I use most be the internet . through the internet you do not need any of the stupid app because you can have every single page bookmark . for those of you complain about the Youtube app ; the youtube app be worthless in any unit -lrb- it constantly rebuffer in the ipad from which I be writt right now too -rrb- . another thing be that many of the reviewer here do not even know that you can change the on screen tab that you have in you main Gtv window and set they to you liking . you can add a wallpaper also , and have pandora on the home screen for quick access . there be also many keyboard shortcut that you can use to surf easier through the page . to get to know this info all you need to do be type in any search engine gtv shortcut and read the forum . also , if you do not have a internet connection that be faster than 2.5 mbp do not even consider post a review about how slow the unit be , you be just make yourself look bad and dumb . thank for those of you who read this review . I give this unit 5 star for the price I buy it for -lrb- $ 100 -rrb- and what it can do when compare to available option currently in the market . +184 Keyboard POS 4 I use my keyboard most day for between 6 and 12 hour , sometimes longer , and this keyboard be the best that I have use on a computer . it give positive tactile feedback without be really click-y . it be quiet without the key be mushy . in short , it be a really good keyboard , and great for the money . I buy this one to replace my previous one -lrb- the cat dump my glass of water over it -rrb- , and after use another keyboard for a few month . the other keyboard never feel right or good ; this keyboard , conversely , just `` feel right . '' the initial natural ergonomic keyboard 4000 I purchase a few year ago replace the original putty-colored Microsoft Natural Keyboard I have use since 1996 . 10 year be about the most anyone can ask of a keyboard , but have I not want to change over to a native usb connection , I would likely still be use it . this keyboard be nearly perfect , save one annoyance : the space bar . there be instruction and video that describe re-bend the metal bar under the space bar to make it more even , which I think would help . all in all , I do not think you can go wrong with the natural ergonomic keyboard 4000 . +48 Keyboard POS 4 I own a Dell 15 '' and this fit pretty well over the keyboard . it be not exact as it be mean for a MAC so I do not expect that . the only thing I be not happy with be that the seller tri-fold the silicone and that leave two fold mark in the keyboard cover . it seem that be would be easy to keep it full size with cardboard on each side so it be keep without the fold mark . still it be pretty ! +583 Keyboard POS 5 I receive the keyboard very promply . it be well package with bubble sleeve . and I install in less 20 minute -lrb- eight screw -rrb- . work well . +104 Keyboard POS 5 if you have a smart tv , then the logitech revue will be its new best friend . it be amazing . you can watch movie , research for show , see what play now and in the future , listen to music and more . plus it work with netflix and my phone . so awesome ~ !! +909 Keyboard NEG 1 before Gyration Inc. can compete in the Mouse & Keyboard arena , they must learn to design product that be completely in sync with Windows ! I even take extra step in download all driver need from the Gyration Website , but this slick and very design drive package still could not give a `` Ultra Performance '' . the keyboard would sometimes read and sometimes not ... and the mouse would force Windows to crash ! it be too bad , I want it to work . I guess I should stick to the `` Old School Products '' with more experience . +376 Keyboard NEU 3 overall , its a good value for a wireless keyboard\/mouse combo and I be happy with it . I have have it for about 6 month now and it work nearly as well as it do new . it seem the ball socket have build up some dirt , but I can not figure out a way to clean it out . it be pretty comfortable . it work well for all-in-one control of a htpc . it be very convenient for that purpose , but you would not want to use this for gaming or write a paper . it be not very responsive or intuitive . not every key be present . it should have backlighting . fast movement = jerky motion . battery life range from a couple of day to a couple of week . battery will drain if you leave it on . consider invest in a good battery charger and rechargeable aaa . +162 Keyboard POS 5 First of all , this case be less than half the price of the one I almost buy in the Apple store ... and it come with a keyboard skin . the price be right but I be hesitant due to customer review that the product do not ship promptly and that it do not fit they computer . well , mine arrive in 2 day and fit my computer perfectly and take seconds to put on . needless to say , I be very pleased with my purchase . I think I 'll even get it in another color . thanks ! +824 Keyboard POS 5 wow , just a great keyboard to travel with . when I get the keyboard , turn on my tablet bluetooth , follow the instruction and connect in no time . great product , slim design , perfect for my need on the road ! +809 Keyboard POS 5 I want one of these keyboard ever since the first wave be release . I be really happy that I wait until now to buy this new keyboard . one of the thing I be worry about be the key noise which be rather loud in the previous version of the keyboard -lrb- I try a wire wave before -rrb- but I gotta admit they work that out really nicely ` cuz this keyboard be really quite . the keyboard be really comfortable and not just because of it be wave design , but the key 's size and the cushion palm rest be soft enough for you to want to spend the rest of the day on it yet stiff enough to give you hand a nice grip . I really like the multimedia key on the keyboard , I actually use most of they specially the 3 function from f4-f6 that be open for you to place whatever you want . -lrb- one other thing I change be the `` Launch Program '' key to launch flip 3d instead of Logitech 's application switcher , just put this on the `` program '' text field : '' % windir % \ system32 \ rundll32 . exe dwmapus . dll # 105 '' without the quote . there be two thing that I have to get use to : this keyboard split the f key into 4 group of 3 instead of 3 group of 4 . so I would automatically move my finger to the last key on the first group which would normally be f4 and find myself hit the f3 key . something else that I have to get use to be the disposition of the `` delete\/home\/end \/ page up and down '' key group , but that be just something personal , I like the old form factor where all key be the same size and you get 2 row + 3 column . something i really do not like about the keyboard be the fact that it have no on-keyboard indicator of any lock -lrb- not that I be miss the scroll lock one -rrb- and even though you get the on-screen indicator when you press the button , you have no way for know right way which state they be in , even worse be the fact that you get no on-screen indicator when in the window log-in screen , therefore know when you be typing number be a trial and error process , really uncomfortable for password with number . another thing I do not like but I think with time I might use to ... be the placement of the context menu key , seem too far way , perhaps if it work with only one key press I would not mind the distance . I also love the fact that it come with a unifying receiver -lrb- which be a key reason for my purchase -rrb- because I own , besides a Logitech Anywhere MX Mouse , a DELL XPS m1530 and these only come with 3 usb port ... so keyboard + mouse + phone charging = no free port for the usb drive . now I can use both mouse and keyboard use just one usb port . overall this be a excellent keyboard with minor detail and some thing to get use to . +133 Keyboard NEG 2 I buy this keyboard to be use with the Logitech Marathon m705 mouse , use its unifying usb transceiver . the problem I have be that it do not come with a software for set up the keyboard , like the one that be available for the mouse . from Logitech , I could download the control center that be suppose to work with the mouse m705 and `` any '' other device unifying compatible . I be able to configure the mouse , but the keyboard be just not there . it be certainly recognize as a keyboard , and I be able to use it , but the software do not recognize it as the Logitech k350 . the keyboard come with a cd that have the software , but be only available for Windows xp , Vista , and 7 . I expect a Mac version , since the review table list on this item 's page show Mac compatible ! I expect at least that Logitech make available the proper software to be download from they web site . +618 Keyboard POS 4 this keyboard be easy to use , light , compact and extremely portable . it slip easy into a compartment of my bag mean for papers . the key work fine , although they be just the typical clickity clack plastic feel and sound of most keyboard ... nothing like some of the best of the now distant past . perfectly functional , though . and good riddance to the 10 key section - all it ever do be keep the mouse farther away . +912 Keyboard POS 5 I absolutely love this keyboard cover . its so easy to apply -lrb- it kinda of snap on -rrb- and keep my key clean ! it do not effect my ability to type at all and the color give my computer a fun touch ! I have a purple cover , and I could not be more pleased with my purchase ! I would definitely recommend this product to my friend and will buy more color in the future ! +923 Keyboard NEG 1 for some reason it do not work . I plug my keyboard into it and insert it in my computer but it would not make the keyboard work +67 Keyboard POS 5 I have be use this keyboard at work for year and like it so much that I purchase one for home use as well . +860 Keyboard POS 5 very happy w \/ Zaggmate ... like have the keyboard . my ipad seem secure if this `` case '' amazon deliver ... once again , in good time w \/ a great product ! +219 Keyboard NEG 1 this case look nice but the keyboard itself do not operate well . it have trouble connect and stay connect to the iPad . the instruction be poorly translate into broken english . I tear it out out the case and trash it . I keep and still use the case . try something else . +257 Keyboard POS 4 Universal Silicone Keyboard Protector Skin for Laptops Notebooks 15 to 17.3 inch I give it 4 star because it really do do what it say but be ready to stare at key to find the right one ... +885 Keyboard POS 5 I receive this product on November 5th 2011 . it be perfect ! it take 4 day to ship for free with super saver shipping . specification : 5.9 x 2.3 x .5 inch -lrb- l x w x h -rrb- , weight : 100g or .22 pound , operational range : 10 meter -lrb- for real ! -rrb- ! pro : small , good range -rrb- 10 ft , back-lit keyboard , small usb receiver that go into keyboard , look exactly like picture -lrb- have same button -rrb- , nearly all button find on laptop keyboard , come with usb splitter ; one side charger and other side female usb -lrb- genius -rrb- , button be easy to press , fair price -lrb- cheapest on internet -rrb- , laser pointer , and great bonus sleep feature . con : none . only thing be that this be make by favus entertainment if that somehow change you decision . if I ever need another wireless keyboard , this be the one I 'll buy for sure ! thanks , pjdsmt +87 Keyboard NEG 2 the silicone keyboard cover do not let the backlit key show through , and while it do protect the keyboard from dust , it make typing somewhat awkward . if you like the crisp feel of the keyboard on you macbook pro , do not bother with this . +916 Keyboard NEG 2 I have always want a ergonomic keyboard . when I find one that I like at a good price , I buy it . it have work well for I , but after only six month , the letter on 8 of the key be wear off ! I do a lot of typing , and yes , I do know the keyboard well enough to not have to look at the letter , but come on ... that be poor craftsmanship . I have not have problem with the spacebar like many other have , though . -lrb- I be not typing this review on the keyboard . I be use my laptop . -rrb- the warranty from Microsoft say to return it to the store first . I do not buy it from Amazon -lrb- maybe I should have -rrb- . I go to a local office supply store . well , they would not replace it . now I have the inconvenience of have to mail it back to Microsoft , pay for it myself , and wait for a replacement . +888 Keyboard NEG 1 typical Microsoft nightmare . first the instruction for pair the keyboard to the computer do not clearly state you have to type the passkey number \*\* on the keyboard \*\*\* & PRESS ENTER to PAIR the keyboard with the computer . I spend hour try to get the keyboard to work . what throw I off be the first time I set it up , I do not have to type the passkey on the keyboard . the keyboard and computer drop the connection and when I try to re-install it would not pair with the computer . bring it back to Staples for a replacement . -lrb- too bad I do not find out until too late that my keyboard be function - it be the documentation which do not work . -rrb- get a new keyboard , get it to sync once , then it drop the connection and I could not get the keyboard to broadcast - keep push the bluetooth button to make the keyboard discoverable , but only get a green light and no flash red . then no green light at all . Staples be go to be sick of I try to return the new keyboard for the old one , but this be a disaster . look for a HP or Logitech bluetooth keyboard . +622 Keyboard POS 4 because of brief experience with Microsoft ergonomic keyboard , I intend to order the cordless itouch -lrb- nonergonomic -rrb- instead of this ; however this be the only one in stock and I end up get this one ... the keyboard be really nice . as another reviewer mention , the slope of the key feel much more natural than the microsoft . however , I have to disagree with the previous reviewer about the layout of the home\/end\/etc key . if the key have to be in a vertical layout , this layout make much more sense than the microsoft 's - microsoft arrange the key in a seemingly random order , while logitech leave most of the key in they standard place . . -lrb- insert\/delete and page up\/down be where you would expect -rrb- the cordless mouse be also far superior to microsoft 's - the movement be much smoother and more responsive . I have to take off one star for 1 -rrb- the `` logitech '' key seem to randomly think it be press once in awhile and pop up a annoying help page ; 2 -rrb- when i play some game , in order to get a decent response time from the keyboard i always have to press the `` connnect '' button after every reboot both of these problem be probably driver\/software problem , but they be annoy +944 Keyboard NEG 1 I be really excite about this product and though I try and try and try I never get this thing to work . this be the problem with Amazon , no one to call to get help . this product have no customer support , no website to find trick . basically what happen be I plug it in and it `` charge '' it start to pair but fail everytime and it also seem to fail to get a charge . so I try it with several other people iphone but the 3 and 3 and now I have the 4 all failure . DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT ! +956 Keyboard NEG 2 this keyboard be advertise as wireless . it be not . although the ergonomics of this keyboard make it very comfortable to use , the space bar stick which make typing a pain in the butt ! I probably would have keep this keyboard be it not for the sticky space bar . I type too fast to have to deal with that problem . +270 Keyboard POS 5 I do not think I be go to like it , and the way the company ship it , I be disappoint . but , when I take it out of the envelope and put it on my MacBook pro , I fall in love with it ! it fit perfectly , protect my key from dirt & dust , and I can still see the light keyboard through it ! the minor flaw it have be that the letters\/numbers\/symbols be not perfectly align . - just a minor insignificance ! +838 Keyboard POS 5 it take a little get use to use this type of keyboard , but these keyboard be very dependable and we buy they for many employee at we organization and hear no complaint . +126 Keyboard POS 5 it be compact , and it just work ! I buy this to replace a similar one that come with my xtreamer Ultra PC that would not pair with it be usb stub . this new one work right out of the box . the only negative for I be that the touchpad be a bit awkward to use , but I just use a usb Logitech wireless mouse that I have and I be fine now . it be nice not to have to have a large keyboard sit next to I on the couch anymore . +514 Keyboard NEG 2 since I be on the road a lot and need good equipment , I think this be go to be a great keyboard . then I use it . it be easy to install -- plug it in . but , the key be marginal at best . the one shift key hardly work and if you be a speed typer , you will slow to a crawl . you have to really , really strike the key hard and then it might work . so if you have a lot to do in a short time -- find a better keyboard . if you will be a light user -- it might work for you . I do like how thin it be . if they could fix the key -- this would be a great tool . I be not sure sure it we worth the space it take up . +560 Keyboard POS 4 I have some degree of RSI -- around my median nerve , behind my wrist in the center of my forearm -- and I have have the opposite experience with this keyboard . the large , high wrist pad keep my arms\/wrists in a position that I very rarely feel any rsus pain , which be more than I hope for and I be very happy with . I have not find any other keyboard with a pad of the same size\/height , so I be stick with this one no matter what its other fault be because medically it be the best choice for I and that be my overwhelming priority . however , I do wish another company make a similar keyboard , one with a pad similar to this one , because the mnek4000 be cheaply make . -lrb- I look around for competitor , but have no luck find a similar wrist pad . Logitech come the closest , but not close enough . -rrb- I have have this thing for 3 month now , and : - on the bottom , the two rubber footpad in the back rub off rather quickly . if the front one go , there will not be anything stop this keyboard from slide all over my desk . I be not abuse the keyboard , either -- the rubber footpad be glue on so lightly that it be unrealistic to expect they to stay on . - out of the box , the right arrow key stick . it be permanently halfway-depressed . I can pry it back to normal with a butter knife , but as soon as I push the key it stick again . - the coating on the key I use most -lrb- a,e,l-shift -rrb- be start to wear off , ever so slightly . I wonder how it 'll look a year from now . the key do not seem too hard to push -lrb- I be typing on it now -rrb- . maybe they be tougher than you average keyboard , but I be only conscious of it now because of these review I be read -- the thought never occur to I on my own . maybe if someone have some _ hand\/finger _ pain -lrb- carpal tunnel , arthritis -rrb- , a keyboard with a light touch would be important , I do not know . but as someone with _ wrist\/forearm _ pain , the key have not be a problem for I at all . I like the way it look , and the programmable hotkey be nice too . it be strange typing on this oddly-shaped keyboard at first , but I adjust to it really quickly at my typing speed be back to normal . it be not like the key be in different place . if you be serious about this keyboard , check out the Newegg customer review of it too -- lot of good feedback there . some Neweggers complain that this keyboard be particularly sensitive to water damage -lrb- more so than other electronics -rrb- and that the cord tend to break right where it exit the keyboard . again , I will not even consider another keyboard that do not have a wrist pad as large or elevated as this one . some Newegg review say they have go through 4-5 of these keyboard despite they flaw because they like they comfort so much . I wish there be a competitor , but this one work well enough . -lrb- I get it for $ 40 , but I have see it on sale for $ 30 . -rrb- +340 Keyboard NEG 2 out of the box , several key be not attach to the keyboard , but float around inside . I try to press they back into place and be mostly successful . the Q key keep come off . good aspect , small , light weight , keyboard be easily detachable add more option for position , company respond to my complaint , by authorize return . con : no communication from company . think they might want to make good on they product , but they just quietly send a return label . final analysis , try it but YMMV . at least if you be not happy you can get a return and full credit . if you get one that work , it would be a cool gadget to have . I wind up with one from Brookstone Hard to find tool , a bit more money but very strongly build . keyboard do not detach from this one , but they do sell a soft keyboard that you can get separately for such a need . +206 Keyboard POS 4 I want to get a new keyboard to replace my Dell -lrb- which have several science project fester below the key -rrb- , and spend a long time at Fry 's go testing out the various keyboard . I initially bring home a Logitech and decide that the letter on the key be too small-and my wife do not like it . then a couple of other feel pretty good to type on , but they turn out to be upward of $ 50 , chock full of button and nobbie thingy ... I just want a simple keyboard . I have try the Comfort curve before but I be look for something similar to my old keyboard , with the tall key and tactile feel . but after I return the Logitech I try this one again and find that it feel pretty good , and `` natural '' , and not like those split kb . as other have say , its curviture and gradient size button be set up to match the natural position of you hand ; and I find that I type faster with it . the key be half the hight -lrb- or a squinch more -rrb- of the typical kb , and that with the placement of the key allow you finger to type without shift you hand or fingers-which I find myself do at time . it be almost like pretend typing , where you mimic typing , drum you finger on a table top . like a previous reviewer mention , while this keyboard be very quiet the space bar can be rather annoy with the sound it make . like that reviewer , once I pry off the shift key there be a metal wire about the size of a paper clip that be not lock on to the space bar itself . once I do this and pop the key back on , the key noise be greatly dull . of course I be write this review on this keyboard as I `` speak '' , and it be very comfortable . I highly recommend this - $ 19\/at fry 's - keyboard . buy it and try it , if after a day or two you do not like it -lrb- which I doubt -rrb- , just return it . +437 Keyboard POS 5 this item be perfect for cover my keyboard . it take a little get use to because each button that you press seem to be like push on plastic . however , I get use to it after one day , and I be glad I have it because it protect my Macbook pro keyboard from dust and oil from my finger . I highly recommend use this keyboard condom . it be very safe and protective for keyboard . +303 Keyboard POS 5 I have a multimedia pc hook up to my lcd tv . all I want this for be to let I play my dvd 's and other media quickly without have it get in my way . it do this perfectly . I just buy a second one due to a power supply problem that take out most of my pc include the usb attachment for the keyboard , but it have function without fail for over 18 month , in fact ; the keyboard still work with the new usb receiver so I guess I have a backup now . I do agree that if you be go to use this as a actual keyboard , be prepare for miss letter and other keystroke from time to time . but I do mean time to time , I sit about 8 foot from my setup and use this to rename file , search online , do email , and it be rare that I have miss letter , and I have multiple other wireless device such as 802.11 g , wireless headphone , Wii , Xbox 360 , remote control all within that 8 foot of each other . but if you just want something for a multimedia setup , this be the all in one to get . by the way , great battery life , I think I change out maybe once or at most twice a year , and I use it nearly every day . +369 Keyboard POS 5 Works well for a small out of the way htpc controller . not as easy to type on as my cell phone , but still work good . sometimes it seem like my finger dont hit what I need they to , but that a issue with big hand more than the controller . the integrate laser be good for pet entertainment more than presentation as I dont normally do many presentation in my living room ; -rrb- battery life be good , and range be also good , I havent have any issue with either . +636 Keyboard NEG 1 not only do this have the OVERHEATING and NOT be transparent issue but it rip right out of the box . it be fold , so when i try to unfold it , it just rip . do not . get . this . +651 Keyboard POS 5 I can not believe I be say this , but this keyboard be totally worth the money . a small tid bit : my das keyboard be the professional , silent model S. this simply mean that it use cherry mx brown switch instead of the blues . a little less clickity , clackity . the keyboard be a dream to type on . this thing be SOLID . it be not go anywhere . keyboard last a long time and most of we spend the better part of we day with they and yet we still neglect to get quality keyboard that be fun and more efficient to type on . as far as typing speed go ; it be only make I a slightly faster typist . this be ONLY due to the fact that I make less mistake because it be easier to `` feel '' out the keyboard . I often mistroke when keyboard fail to recognize the order I hit the key in or if I simply get lose on the keyboard . my wpm right now be probably somewhere between 60-80 . I remember I use to be able to hit close to 100 when we have those keyboard test in school . but of course that be a completely different environment than you normal typing interaction . the comfort of the keyboard be great . it look professional . and yeah , it be a keyboard . if you actually care about one of the most important and overlook work resource then please consider get a nice keyboard like this one . they really be worth it when you consider the longevity of keyboard . +411 Keyboard POS 4 this product be exactly as describe and actually do exceed my expectation . I use it to control my tv from my couch when I plug my laptop into it . the only reason I do not give it 5 star be because the touchpad can be a little random and will make the pointer jump around the screen . it do not happen enough though to warrant a major concern . I be more than please with this for the price I pay . +745 Keyboard POS 5 I continue to look for a `` better '' split large keyboard and for the money , there be not anything close . as a software developer who write code , but also write detailed documentation , email , etc , as well as be a big guy with big hand , I keep think there be go to be some expensive but much better keyboard . for the $ 30 to $ 50 or so you get these for , I have yet to see something near as good . if anyone who read this know of something better , please do reply and let I know . for now , this be still the best out there , and for the price it be by far the best bang for buck . +966 Keyboard NEU 3 I have use this keyboard enough to wear\/short out a couple ; useful and well-thought-out design . but my newest replacement have a mushy feel to the key -- no life in they . disappointing . +index Domain Label Rating Review +68 Keyboard POS 4 key be fairly good for a membrane keyboard -lrb- I would say above average -rrb- . back-lighting be uneven however , so it lose a star . I appreciate the brightness nob and media control button . Super helpful for turn of the light and control full screen video . +541 Keyboard POS 5 it be absolutely wonderful gadget . I could not take a view of the big keyboard sit right in a front of the entertainment center . this be not a useless toy ! +182 Keyboard POS 5 I have only have this remote for a couple of day , but I have already a lot of good thing to say about it . I be even write this review with the riimote and my laptop connect to the tv via a hdmus cable . now if you be go to be do this much typing I would recommend a full size keyboard . but if you be use you pc or laptop as the core of you entertainment center , this remote be perfect . I purchase this remote since we be do away with cable and use broadband and a digital antenna for tv viewing . this be save we 75.00 \/ mo. . next be a tv tuner card so we can use Windows Media Center to replace we DVR . but I digress . now for the good and a little bad : 1 . worked right after charge it up and plug the usb receiver in my Windows 7 laptop . I usually use this device 6 to 10 foot away . but for this sentance I be stand 18 foot back . so this have excellent range . 2 . very simple to use . we 6 year old use it to navigate pbskids.org . the mouse pad and keyboard be very responsive . however , it be a little more difficult than text with the touchpad on the right . I have to stretch a little more with my right thumb . 3 . the audio control work well with iTunes . mute , volume , pause and play work perfectly . although the next track and previous seem to operate backwards . this be not a big issue for I since I usually start a playlist then walk away . 4 . the size be great . smaller than the rest of my remote , but large enough to see and type with . the key be larger than any smartphone I have use . I do not like that you have to hold shift + a letter to get a single cap though . I would rather hit shift then a letter for a cap like a smartphone . the backlight be invaluable . I have only have this a couple of day so I really can not address battery life or durability . I be go to see how long this work on a single charge and then update this review . right now I can highly recommend this remote . one minor glitch while proofing my review , the cursor stop respond . reset the receiver fix it and now I can finish . one add bonus for cat owner be the build in laser pointer . we cat love it . Update 2011\/12\/27 - battery life be pretty good . I notice the mouse be not as responsive after 5 day . this coincide with the low battery indicator blinking . even though it be only five day , it be still pretty good since I use this remote a lot more than a regular tv remote since we now Facebook and browse various internet site use this remote . and one correction to item 3 in this review . this do not control the audio control in iTunes . but rather the audio control on my netbook . control of these feature may vary with you device . +936 Keyboard POS 5 I purchase this keyboard as a replacement for my Microsoft Natural 4000 , which die after a unfortunate incident with a ill-placed coffee cup . all i can say be , I really like the g110 I buy to replace it . the g110 introduce a lot of incremental improvement to keyboard design that make it a joy to work on . key Feel : the first thing I notice be that the response from the key be just about perfect . the key have just the right mix of travel and spring to they . as a frame of reference , my first keyboard be one of the old IBM clunk-o-tron , which give I a tendency to type somewhat harder than I probably should sometimes . I have be experiment with different style of key to find something that would not leave I nurse my wrist with ice pack at the end of a busy day . laptop-styled , low-profile keyboard generally do not have enough travel for comfort . the Microsoft Natural 4000 I have be use be acceptable , but the key feel a little squishier than I would have like . key position : the ctrl and alt key be big enough that you will not find yourself accidentally hit anything you do not intend to , which be a frequent annoyance for I on other keyboard . function key : it take a little while to get a sense for what I could use the function key for , but after a little while I find set they up to handle shortcut in my ide that I use regularly I find myself surprise at how happy I be to save my finger from the need to awkwardly position themselves across three key at once . the only issue I have have with they so far be that I find myself hit g1 instead of esc for the first week I have the keyboard . back light : the key glow . the back light be not terribly bright , but in the dark there be enough light to get you hand position again if you find the need to stroke you chin thoughtfully at any point . volume Rocker : this be a neat feature , and be much more comfortable to use than traditional volume adjustment button on other keyboard I have use . +960 Keyboard POS 5 I can only speak for the Pocket PC , but I find very litte wrong with it , and can positively say it be the best ir keyboard out there . First of all , yes , it do not have cursor key . but it have something better , a mouse button . this let you click around the screen without need to use the stylus at all . if you be like I and use the cursor key to go back and correct mistake , it still do this , you just hold the fn key and use the mouse which make it act EXACTLY like cursor key . there be no `` elf '' effect . unlike the wireless keyboard that use mirror , and go very slow and drop letter , the Targus keyboard do nothing of the sort . it be just like a desktop keyboard , in that everything appear as soon as you type it and there be certainly no drop letter . there be one thing I would have like , which would be the `` home '' and `` End '' key which I use quite frequently . it do have a key combination -lrb- ctrl + mouse arrow , I believe -rrb- which let you just from word to word , which do it almost as quickly . that be really the only thing that could be improve . this be definately the best keyboard out there , and the one I will be use for probably any pocket pc I buy . since my Toshiba e310 do not have a `` plug-in '' keyboard for it , IR be my only option . after be absolutely disgusted by the iConcepts IR Keyboard , this one be very welcome . no need to line it up , a constant connection , ability to use it in you lap and in a car , along with many other thing . I would recommend this keyboard to anyone who be look to buy one . for a full and more in-detailed review , please visit my website : www.nikebball87.com . +150 Keyboard POS 4 I like the action of the key and button . the mouse and keyboard have battery install . the kit work right out of the box , with no configuration issue . plug and play . I give four star instead of five because the mouse , while very good , have only two button and scroll wheel . more button for other function would be nice , but for price , it work just fine for my need . the mouse glide smoothly on my laminated desk surface with no mouse pad under it . keyboard action be quiet . the extra function button be a good addition . keyboard be very light . this combo unit replace another Logitech wireless combo that finally `` retire '' long after the warranty expire . : -rrb- +693 Keyboard POS 5 this be great ! Easy to setup\/connect , nice to look at . protective case . I test it out on a couple of email and note . still play with all the different function key . so far so good ! +22 Keyboard POS 4 give this product be about $ 25 it do a good job . I have notice that if you be typing quickly it can lag a bit but other than that the product work well . its also really convenient that the keyboard and mouse go to sleep with out have to turn they off to save battery life . I be terrible about turn off wireless accessory , so this feature have prove to be quite convenient . +116 Keyboard POS 5 fit the macbook easily . a little hard to put on at first , but after it be on , it be very good . still fit in the sleeve I buy for my macbook . -lrb- I be worry it would make the laptop too big . -rrb- +704 Keyboard POS 4 I just buy the stowaway keyboard and it work great for write email , note , etc. . . but I have one problem w \/ the first one I get from Comp . USA . the `` t '' key do not always work as well as it should have . every now and then I would have to really concentrate on hit the button to get it to work . all the other key work great though and the new one that I have seem to have not problem . overall it be a great little item but I would buy it for the same price from a store in you area so you do not have to pay to return it if it be defective . awesome product though and I be not as worry about break it as I be of break my visor so it be pretty sturdy , but then you can see for yourself if you go to Comp USA or somewhere that they sell it in a store rather than online . happy shopping . kc +915 Keyboard POS 4 this be exactly what the other review say . I read the review and be worry about the letter not match , and they do not . I like the soft skin and it do not really hinder my typing . some of the key be print crookedly , like the a will not be in the center of the key etc. . normally , this be not a problem . also , the color be dark enough that unless you turn the backlit light on high , you can not see it , but then , it be a fuzzy double image because the letter do not match . if you be okay with that , then this be a pretty great product . I love the color -lrb- it be a lighter pink , not a magenta as show -rrb- and the feel of it and it 'll definitely protect my keyboard ! : -rrb- +700 Keyboard NEG 2 since purchase the Logitech revue , i go through three unit . each one have totally different , yet major flaw . finally return the device for good for a full refund . First defective unit : have a non-responsive left arrow key on the keyboard . could not go through the setup process without the use of it . exchange unit for another one . second defective unit : after a day , start reboot uncontrollably . exchange it for another one . third defective unit : after a day of use , there be a mysterious pixelated gray distortion right in the middle of the screen when watch video . Power cycle resolve it for about 5 minute or so . return it for good ! I would also like to mention that all three of these unit be unable to see my 802.11 n network , or even my neighbor 's . it only would see my 802.11 g band . browse logitech 's forum show this seem to be the case . the logitech revue may possibly be 802.11 g only ! if this be the case , that will be false advertising . I would also like to mention that 99 % of the major network provider have block all video content from be view on any google tv device . I find the logitech revue to be only a netflix player when i be use it . I recommend wait a year before try google tv . I also recommend never purchase this logitech revue . 1 star , and 1 extra star for the effort . +934 Keyboard POS 4 I need to hook up a older PS\/2 keyboard to a usb port on the laptop docking station at work . this cable be not the cheapest but have good review , so I bite the bullet and go for it . the keyboard I be use be a Dell sk-8110 . in the top right hand corner of the keyboard there be 3 light label Num Lock , Caps Lock and Scroll Lock . at seemingly random interval and for no apparently obvious reason , all 3 light blink and my keystroke at that instant be not echo to the screen . it be kind of annoying , so just be aware that this cable do work , but may experience the same behavior as I be get . Buyer beware . Hope that help . happy computing ! +388 Keyboard NEU 3 Kensington have a long history with Macs and this work fine . but the layout be all pc . this be really a problem when I be use to have the command key next to the space bar . on this keyboard , the Alt key be there and the Windows key -lrb- which work like the command key on a Mac -rrb- be just outside of they on either side . I could not figure out a fix for that . also , the Kensington Keyboard utility show up in the Preferences panel under 10.2 , but I could never get it to recognize that there be a Kensington Keyboard hook up to the computer . I give up and buy a Matias usb 2.0 keyboard with a dock on top . it be great and work like a real Mac keyboard . +589 Keyboard POS 4 its good to have around and it do need more power -lrb- cpu and memory -rrb- to surf with family or netflix it great . the app make it easy . now i just need camera . +397 Keyboard NEG 2 as mention , the layout of the keyboard be great ... it be comfortable , have most the shortcut 's I would want , however it be design for Media Center , and Media Center only . no ie\/internet shortcut be present , which in my opinion be a bad design . everyone that have a Media Center PC , also have Windows xp `` professional '' , which could use those short-cut . my largest gripe about this product be the mouse . why Microsoft make you press downward , in addition to the direction of the mouse be beyond I . we have have it about a month now , and despite other user say it get better with time , ours have not . I be expect a laptop-like fingermouse , and that be not what this keyboard have . +543 Keyboard NEG 1 I purchase one of these from best buy hope I would get one without the sticking key problem . I be unlucky , apparently , because within 15 minute of use I experience the sticking key problem . the key do not stick mechanically , but the function do . it be very frustrating . I take my initial buy back to best buy to exchange for another Anansi that turn out to have exactly the same problem . this do not seem to be a isolate problem . it be poor manufacturing with a hefty price tag . do not buy . +779 Keyboard NEU 3 I have have this keyboard for a couple year now , and it work well enough for a while . then my `` c '' key become glitchy , which be a pain when you want to copy text as much as I do . the silver `` rim '' of the board have also fade in the area where my left palm rest , and the '' + '' key on the number pad be stick from day one . I really have not find much practical use for the led backlighting , largely because it be never be particularly bright to begin with . the volume and mute button work as seamlessly in Ubuntu as they do in Windows , which be nice , but the volume increment be larger than I would like , and there seem to be no way to adjust that . the matte texture on all the key can pick up oil and crud over time as well . -lrb- you may have hear the key describe as `` laser cut , '' but it be really just opaque plastic that be be paint black . -rrb- in short , I find it difficult to justify the purchase price . I have buy keyboard for a \* third \* of the cost that have superior endurance . it look nice when you be take photograph of you computer , I guess , but I think I 'll stick to the basic board from now on , now that beige be no longer unavoidable . +241 Keyboard POS 5 best keyboard i have ever buy in my life , work perfect and snappy . key be easily take off or replace . +566 Keyboard POS 5 how can you beat the price first of all ? and it protect it from dust and crumb . I love when I type in class , it be very quiet compare to the person next to I with they pc -lrb- they should get something like this as well for pc -rrb- . anyways , I recommend this to MacBook pro Users . +784 Keyboard POS 4 excellent product , deliver exactly what it promise . one little request to Logitech - make the usb cable also a datum cable or provide a charger or provide a charger cradle -lrb- like DiNovo -rrb- . +279 Keyboard POS 5 okay , so I love my imac but hate that the include wireless keyboard be miss the right hand section with the number pad and all . I beg my husband for the cord apple brand keyboard , which for some reason have all of the miss key , but he be stick on wireless . I appeal to he frugality - the keyboard eat battery constantly . but to no avail . until I find this baby . screw Apple for not release they own full wireless keyboard - I be fully aware I be not the only one who have this gripe . they loss , Logitech 's win . the keyboard be very reminiscent of the Apple keyboard in look and feel . it may feel \* slightly \* cheaper but all in all , it be a great keyboard . we have have no issue with it , and best of all it require no battery due to the solar panel . +278 Keyboard POS 5 I read some of the negative review and I be hesitant , but I seem to have get lucky because mine have no problem and this keyboard be amazing . none of my key be touch each other like some older review complain of , and the feel of the keyboard be perfect . I love the feel and the sound of each key click as a I compress it . the speed of my typing instantly rise a substantial amount , while the error I typically make have be reduce . I have use this for typing papers , programming , and gaming . it be great for all three . my reaction time for gaming have increase due to the short actuation point of the mechanical key and I be typing faster and more comfortably when work on homework . I highly recommend this product to anybody consider the purchase - it be completely worth the money . though I would recommend wait for a Friday when Amazon do electronic deal because the keyboard often drop below $ 110 then . +180 Keyboard NEG 1 I have a HTC hd2 run ChuckyRom Winmo and DarkStone froyo2 .2 with cyanogenmod 6.1 . in Winmo the keyboard work as intend and do essentially what I want it to do . however , when I boot into android -lrb- which I use as my main os -rrb- , the keyboard do not work . the product come with a cd and what it lead you to believe be the necessary driver to run the keyboard . I install the program and then try run it , only to repeatedly get a error say the one time registration have fail , and the program close . after some search on Google I finally find that the manufacturer have not renew they license with the company that provide the software driver for the phone . after spend 28 dollar on the keyboard , I find that I now have to pay a additional 10 euro to download the software that the manufacturer claim would come with the product . additionally , I have not be able to get the keyboard function on a android build that do not have Cyanogenmod 6.1 install , so if you be run a stock phone it seem like you be S.O.L. there too be aware of this product and the countless other `` mini bluetooth keyboard '' that be seemingly make by different manufacturer but be all exactly the same product . use multiple brand for the same product be usually a sign of a disreputable company . as for the keyboard itself , it be very light and feel sort of cheap , but it be sturdy enough . the power switch be a bit difficult to slide , and the mini-usb port do not seem to be very well attach . my power light flicker and turn off frequently while charge , and wiggle the wire around usually bring it back on for a while . overall , this be a very cheaply make product , but unfortunately it seem like its the only bluetooth keyboard of its size available at the moment for a reasonable price . if you be run Android , I strongly suggest you DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT . +349 Keyboard POS 5 great , product i have everyte that i need from this package , usefull tool for my reading device , good quality on the item . +586 Keyboard POS 5 i recently buy this item as a christmas gift and i test it out to make sure it be worth what i have pay for it . and it be ! this lightweight keyboard be a must have . i do not have any reception problem and the mouse be so great . it feature many shortcut for internet surfer . it be comfortable and stowsaway easily when not in use . +294 Keyboard POS 5 this be one of the few usb to PS\/2 adapter that work with Cybex \/ Avocent KVM switch without skip , multiple entry or lack of power draw from the keyboard PS\/2 input . the cable be thinner than the older version of the same model from IOgear but I have not see any degradation of performance . +985 Keyboard NEG 1 highly advise against purchase this item . i cant say how well it work , because for I it never do . try everything , unit would not work . seem like logitech just sell lemon out the gate . customer service be a joke , they just appologize and offer no assistance . on top of that its be 2 week and they have yet to even give I a rma so i can get my money back . Logitech be really go downhill in they quest for profit . avoid in the future . +290 Keyboard POS 5 while this keyboard may not have all the bell and whistle of some of the higher end , more expensive g-series keyboard it be still a amazing product . price : for it be price range this be definitely the best keyboard you can buy . before this I have the razer lycosa , and while it be a good keyboard I get tire of the constant problem I have with it . feature : the lighting option for this be great , macro be very easy to record and be easy to apply to the g-key . the multimedia center in the upper right have everything you need to control you audio . I have not use the extra usb port or headphone\/microphone jack but I could see that they could come in handy for some user . Feel : the key on this board have a sort of soft feel to they , they be not rubbery but feel great to type on . I have use this keyboard for a few day now and I can say confidently that logitech have do a great job with the build quality and layout of this keyboard . +253 Keyboard POS 5 I purchase this item within a week of release . in the past two month of daily use there have be no issue , problem , glitch , or hardware failure . it be not a ipad or android tablet . for all those people who think they would be run app or have a thin ipad they will not be happy . what it provide be a full service Windows 7 computer that run all window application without a hitch . it will perform any and all window service and will not crash or fail . in my work I require offsite access to a database that be encrypt . it will only work with a window 7 system . for I , there be no option but a win base computer . I require portability , ease of use , and reliability . this system work for I . go from sleep to full screen access be seconds . there be few area to be note : 1 . -rrb- several reviewer have note it be neither as light weight or as smooth as the ipad with respect to touch screen and some program . this be true , however , it be not limit to the Apple system . it be a true 64 bit computer . 2 . -rrb- the lack of 3g be decry as a fail . from my point of view this be a benefit . all system that come with pre install WAN card typically lock you into carrier that may change technology or charge . I find the preferred system be one that allow for a tethered computer . 3 . -rrb- the bezel issue be note on several review board . the comment have be that there be screen elevation where the glass be not flush with the case . I have carefully evaluate my system and find that at the lower left side there be a less than 1mm elevation that be virtually imperceptible . in two month of daily use there have be no degradation in the case . 4 . -rrb- the battery life be actually quite good when the system go into sleep mode after use . I use the system and place in in sleep after use . I easily get a full day of use . I have show this system to several of my co worker . they be now in the process of use this as a replacement for they win 7 notebook . +292 Keyboard POS 5 I love this keyboard ! I be a little wary get something like this that I have never see in person before but I really want something to control my computer when I hook it up to my tv screen ... this work wonder ! I have have it now for about a month and still have not have to charge it again . I do not use it every day and it have a great little sleep function that save the battery for when you forget to turn it off ... I never remember to turn mine off and it still work great ! the button be small but with the size of the thing I be expect smaller ... the mouse pad be very responsive and you can switch the orientation between use it like a keyboard with two hand or use it like a remote with one hand . the page up\/page down button be very handy for when the screen be small and you can not find the scroll arrow and the usb charge port be very cool with a external female usb attach so you do not two use usb port with the remote charging and power the computer . all in all I be extremely happy with my purchase and would do it again in a heart beat ! +703 Keyboard POS 4 for I , the feature most important in a keyboard be the feel of the key and durability of construction -lrb- so that it 'll last -rrb- . in these two area , this keyboard be significantly better than any other I have use or even hear of ... and I have use a \* lot \* of keyboard . it be really no contest . you can not really convey to someone how it feel until you try one . all I can really say about it : if you type a lot and like to type fast , this thing be most likely go to please you \* immensely \* . as for construction quality , most feedback I have see hint that these last a very long time except in minor way like key label wear -lrb- mine 's already show small crack in the letter from just a few week of use -rrb- . and I be definitely go to put the overall durability of this thing to the test . I type a lot , and I type fast . if something go wrong I 'll add commentary here . where this keyboard struggle be in some feature you would reasonably expect from it give its pricetag : a ergonomic design version , backlit key , and a more stable usb setup -lrb- give that it be part of the design at least -rrb- . ergonomically , this keyboard could not be less so : it have a razor-straight layout that make you use the muscle on the outside of you forearm -lrb- as you would expect -rrb- , and most edge that be not on key be sharp instead of round . you 'll most likely want a wrist wrest for this at least . it be here in these weak area that I 'll expect progress from this manufacturer : it should not be difficult at all to put out a more ergonomic , backlit , silent version of this model for a very similar price . as a matter of fact , I 'll most likely expect that much next time I look at buy another DAS , and if I can not find something like that I 'll probably look elsewhere . one last thing . a lot of feedback I read on this keyboard center around the `` silent '' part of the name . lot of people seem to expect a very silent keyboard . the problem for I be in how I buy thing -- when I spend this much money , I want to know exactly what I be buy . it only take a little bit of digging to discover what the `` silent '' refer to -- it be in comparison to the non-silent model from this maker -lrb- which pump out significantly more sound -rrb- . do yourself a favor if you be consider pull the trigger on this -- know that it be not very silent at all . from my guesstimate , it be somewhere around 30ish % louder than a normal keyboard . +54 Keyboard NEU 3 I do not like the design of this keyboard compare to other natural\/ergonomic model . I particularly dislike the design of the spacebar . it addition to be extremely noisy when press , the spacebar require more pressure than a average keyboard to use . because of the raise slope design in the middle of the keyboard , this be actaully cause the tendon from my thumb into my wrist to ache - and that be the first and foremost reason I use a natural\/ergonomic keyboard . I be quite uncomfortable after write just a few short email and have to keep stop to stretch my wrist . I will be return the keyboard and try to find another replacement that I like better . +237 Keyboard NEU 3 after I add the stowaway program to my HP IPAQ I find that I have to reset my IPAQ every time I want to sync it . I do not know if it be the IPAQ or the Stowaway do it but before I install the program I could sync it without difficulty . I do buy a refurbish IPAQ so that may be a contributing factor too . I wish the keyboard do not require battery ; I have a old GoType keyboard that would use the battery power of my old palmpilot . I wish the Stowaway could do the same thing . the compact size be nice but it do compromise the function of the keyboard . there be not dedicate number key so you have to push a function button and a letter key to get the number . if you want to use the special symbol associate with the number key you have to push another function key . this can be annoying . with a real fast speaker that go thru a slide show quickly I need to type fast at time and it be a hassle to remember which function button to push . I usually carry a bag to put the keyboard and my IPAQ in when I go to a event where I may need they so the compact size be not a necessary function for I . the smaller size may benefit some people who carry thing in they pocket but with all the portable device we carry nowadays I figure most of we will carry this in a bag . at least most woman will pack it in they purse . a extra set of number key would make this function better . a advantage of the function key be that they can pull up you calender , contact , email , etc by just use the keyboard . do not have to tap the screen to open these program . the infrared communication work well . no lag or mistype . setup with the disk do not have my model on it but I just go to the websited and download it from there . setup be easy after that . like other people note there be a hinge in the middle half so you need a flat , hard surface to type on . I probably would buy this again . +175 Keyboard NEU 3 I have have one of these Palm keyboard for a couple of year now . it work okay , and turn my Palm Tungsten into a computer I can carry in my pocket . I can take note in meeting , write article . it be great . but it have always be temperamental . within a month of get it I find I often have to jiggle the two half of the keyboard a little to get it to start work . then lately , a row of key on the right -lrb- the zero , p , l , and period -rrb- start not work unless I would twist and manipulate the half just so . every time ! it be maddening . I get feed up with it and upgrade to the Bluetooth keyboard -lrb- Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard for only $ 15 more , I have a smoothly function no-glitch keyboard . it be a little more stable -- in lock position I can actually use it on my lap without rest it on a book or clipboard . you can detach the cradle for the Palm and set it off to the side if you need to . the keyboard on this page use a infrared beam to communicate with the Palm . the Bluetooth use radio wave . and a cool thing be that either of these keyboard really impress my friend . I get comment like , `` amazing ! '' , `` where would you get that ? '' I love it . spend the extra $ 15 and get the better keyboard -- it will last longer and be more useful . +928 Keyboard POS 5 the idea of this keyboard work great in my home computer room . Lighting be a minor problem , but with the light key , it be not a problem . the only thin I do not like be the key not be on all the time when in use , but the sensor relight the key as fast as you hand go over the keyboard . what I have do be hook up the usb cable to my monitor -lrb- which have usb connection -rrb- and it remain light as long as the monitor be on . I really like this keyboard and do from the first time I see it . just wish the key be a bit bigger for my fat finger . : - -rrb- +351 Keyboard POS 5 I be really happy with this . I order it whil ein Europe on business , it be there when I return home . synchs great with my Blackberry Playbook . Love IT ! it have replace my laptop for meeting . +743 Keyboard POS 5 great keyboard , even order a second one for another desktop . I be not a gamer and these keyboard be buy so I could see what I be typing without have load of light or night time work so for I the keyboard be comfortable , the key have a good touch and I like the choice of the 3 color of light , -lrb- blue-default , red , and purple , the red and purple be actually a little brighter -rrb- . all in all a good keyboard and the one I have have for well over a year without issue and the keyboard be use daily for several hour per day\/night . +526 Keyboard POS 5 this little thing really be a useful tool when I be work on other pc for friend and family . I be not like that quirky tv detective monk or anything but I can be a bit of a germaphobe when it come to someonelse 's mouse and keyboard . I can use this to control pc function without any snag at all . it be very responsive to the touch and in time when the light be dime it be a great tool with the backlight on the keypad . mouse ... what mouse ? I have a touch pad that be also very responsive take the place of that clunky old germ ridden mouse . there be some -lrb- f -rrb- key that be miss but no biggie who use they anyway unless in the bio and then there be another story . good Tech Tool . for the Toy Part . . it have a laser pointer that my dog love to chase around the house . great buy and worth it . I would just not use it on a game console ... my PS3 do not find it compatible . +901 Keyboard POS 5 i be so pleased with this keyboard . it be the best keyboard i have ever use . i be a bud writer and have write quite a bit . the lighting be so nice look . i can lie in bed and type easily see the key with no light on to bother my wife . it be also quiet , and have a nice feel to the key . they spring back just right for I . i have only have it a week . i just hope it last for a long time i love it so much . +157 Keyboard POS 5 30 day review - look great . charge quickly from any computer via usb-to-miniusb . perform absolutely wonderfully with my New iPad via Bluetooth . it be quite thin and small , but I be a guy with big finger and I have no trouble with typing on this keyboard . it be very flat , and fit very neatly together with the iPad form , and come with a decent dust cover that keep eveythe tidy in my soft-sided briefcase . it be really the perfect size when you need a keyboard on the go - at the cafe , at lunch , etc. . I would not hesitiate to buy another one . +862 Keyboard POS 5 I have try dozen of mouse and keyboard and this be the best in every category . the feel of the keyboard be good and it be clearly readable even in low light . the mouse be comfortable and quiet and work smoothly with no jump around . the keyboard and mouse both work for a very long time on very few battery -lrb- just one for the mouse -rrb- . there be a low battery indicator on the mouse . the keyboard and mouse both wake up from sleep seamlessly - no accidental button press as with other wireless device . the range be superb - I have no issue use the mouse or keyboard from the other side of a large room . I use these for both Windows and Ubuntu with no configuration require . Perfect . +625 Keyboard NEG 2 one trip in the laptop section of my tote and several key fall off . it need better durability and a case . +851 Keyboard POS 5 plain and simple - work well and work instantly . the backlight be nice , but with the orangish back light and the orange text on the key - force I to get read glass -lrb- maybe it be time anyway -rrb- . +20 Keyboard NEG 1 Bluetooth stop pick up frequently , and this thing eat battery . use 4 aa battery which last about 2 week . +223 Keyboard POS 5 I be a writer and I be so glad I find this keyboard ! the keyboard have a slight ergonomic wave to it that I adjust to without even notice the difference . the hand rest be firm , yet comfortable and build into the keyboard . and can I just say that this keyboard be totally pimp out ! there be so many different programmable function key that I have not even use they all yet . a few of my favorite : I love that there be a button with a camera on it and I can program it to open up my picture with one click . there be also a button with music note . with a push of that button , my iTunes open up ready to go . use the Fn key plus any of the f key number from 1-12 will open up a different feature . for example , I program the `` w '' for the word program on the f1 key to open up my current work in progress . the f2 key have a x for Excel and it be program to open up my spreadsheet so that I can track my word count progress for my current WIP . I love typing on this keyboard . the button have just enough give , be not too `` clicky '' and I feel like I can type even faster than before . the mouse be great . it be the first time , I have have a mouse with the forward and back button for web-surfing on the side -- soooo handy ! if you have be wishy-washy in the past about update you keyboard and mouse , I would suggest take the plunge and get the Logitech Wireless Wave mk 550 keyboard and mouse combo . I think you 'll love it . +565 Keyboard NEU 3 the cordless portion of this product set work fine most of the time although there have be a couple time I have to resynch it . the keyboard be rather clicky and annoying if you have to listen to someone else typing on it . it feel okay if you be typing on it yourself . I do not use the mouse anymore . I use a Logitech wireless trackball -lrb- which I love -rrb- . a nice thing be that I could the they trackball with the keyboard\/mouse receiver without add a second receiver . the add control button be nice . I like the volume control wheel better than + \/ - button for volume . I think I would like the left hand wheel but in reality , I almost never use it . overall , its fine but I be not thrill with it . I probably would not buy it again but do not mind have it around . +420 Keyboard NEG 1 the ad say that be backlit ye tit be not . it also look different slightly : they send model kp-810-xx not kp-810-02 whic his backlit and show in the ad . -lrb- ... -rrb- +800 Keyboard POS 4 buy for my sister 's birthday -- she love it . she want something to protect the original casing of she new macbook pro and this inexpensive case guard it from nik and scratch . +523 Keyboard NEG 1 never get it and I order it over a month ago . do not waste you time . even though it be cheap its so not worth it . +832 Keyboard NEU 3 overall , pretty good . I must have have a newer cd since it install fine . the main problem be that : 1 . you still need to use the stylus a lot , and there be not a place to put it . a little holder would be great . -lrb- hint , hint ! -rrb- 2 . the `` home '' and `` End '' key do not work . period . Miss they a lot ! 3 . I use my right thumb , by habit , to type the spacebar , and that be just where the hinge thing be -- so I be try to train myself to type space with my left thumb , which be really hard still . overall , I be delighted to have it . -lrb- I think one of the reviewer be review a different product , since there be not a connector on this keyboard -- it be wireless . -rrb- +905 Keyboard POS 5 this be without a doubt the coolest toy yet . take about 15 minute to get it setup to my liking . surf the web have never be easier and the supply app be wonderful . some do not work in Canada but the be no fault of the unit itself . you should buy this while you can . I buy 2 . +546 Keyboard POS 5 i turn my old laptop into a `` media pc '' connect to my tv . i purchase this keyboard because the review mention it be a great option for laptop specifically , and i could not agree more . mouse responsiveness be spot on without noticeable lag , key just as fast . have be use for a month or so ; will have to see how battery in keyboard and mouse hold up +322 Keyboard NEG 1 this adapter would not connect any work PS\/2 keyboard to the usb port on either of the two pc I need to connect . very unsatisfactory .

I want something compact that I could use for keyboard shortcut when draw but also big enough to use comfortably for email . this keyboard fit the bill perfectly . a lot of the other review complain about the arrow key be combine into one four way directional pad . I use arrow key a lot in my line of work and it do not seem to bother I at all . I would have give the keyboard 5 star however the gloss finish be a fingerprint MAGNET . I be a little ocd about that sort of thing and would have prefer a matte black finish . the keyboard come with a black sleeve that would come in handy if this be to be use as a mobile keyboard . +483 Keyboard POS 5 Perfect when you just need a plain ol' functional keyboard ! the key feel nice . Works great right out of the box -lrb- have a 2004 Gateway computer w \/ xp -rrb- . price be right , too . quite happy with this !! +866 Keyboard POS 5 I suppose a laser mouse would be a small improvement , but the optical mouse provide be quite good enough . just remember to turn it off when not in use . the keyboard be quiet and feel just right . the special key for automatic connection to email , Internet , control sound , etc , work properly - without additional software . the o\/s on my desktop be Vista Home . I have not test it on my laptop or Netbook , both run xp . but I be sure keyboard and mouse would work just as well on they . it take only ten minute to unpack , install , boot-up my computer , and write this review .

I pay $ 60 and it be worth it . the built-in port for a headset be awesome , and the fact that the keyboard have a usb port built-in means that you can plug in you gaming mouse or a flash drive right into the keyboard . I like this keyboard a lot , and I recommend it highly . +806 Keyboard NEG 1 I have order this item twice and neither time do I receive the item shown\/described !! instead of receive what you want you will in fact receive a crystal cover with no keyboard cover !!! +993 Keyboard POS 5 paired immediately with the mac minus I use for my home entertainment system ! everything seem to be work great ! the keyboard be smaller than my remote !

I swear my word per minute have increase significantly . some might complain that they do not like the sound the key make when typing but I actually prefer it because you can hear when a key register instead of assume it do . Perfect for gaming , general typing , and application you can use the macro 's for . the only con be that you finger print end up all over the keyboard due to its glossy finish . +528 Keyboard NEU 3 I have have the Zaggmate for a few month and do like it . when I first charge it , it last almost a month . but with each charge , the time between get shorter and shorter . I be now have to charge it weekly , and I do not use it that much . and it do not tell you when the batter be low , it just will not work . I like the look of it , but would love it to be connect to my ipad instead of have to take it out and such . I probably would not buy it again . +147 Keyboard NEG 2 I give this product a try hope to use it to control my media laptop connect to my home theater . it look and feel solid in the hand and come in a nice box . unfortunately , while the product work fine close to the laptop , if the unit be more than 4 foot away from the receiver it only work intermittantly and by the time you reach 6ft away it do not respond at all . it just do not work when I be sit on my couch try to control the laptop . also for some odd reason if I use the laser pointer -lrb- which I honestly care nothing about -rrb- it would break the bluetooth pairing and you would need to use another mouse to re-connect the device I may have recive a faulty unit but I have notice other complain of short range as well so I have decide to return the unit for a refund and explore other option . +459 Keyboard NEU 3 I buy my Saitek Eclipse II May 2008 and two of the key start act up late August , the n key give 7n while b key give 4b . I call up they technical support and ask about the warranty service . the guy be nice , he request the proof of purchase . I give he the invoice from amazon.com . it have be over two week , the last thing I know be the request for replacement keyboard have not yet be approve . I think you need to know about both side of this product : it be good keyboard when it work . the quality be not as good as I expect . do not throw away the old keyboard as the warranty service could be a lengthy one , if it work at all . +387 Keyboard POS 5 I get this a replacement for another keyboard that die on we . we have only have it a few week , but no complaint here . it work well and do not feel cheap . +876 Keyboard POS 5 because I buy a store model desktop for the family , the store throw in this keyboard for free . I be a little hesitant at first because I be not sure if I could get use to the whole `` curved '' keyboard thing . after use it for about a month , I just could not go back to the regular keyboard on my laptop 's docking station . my hand feel so comfortable and relax use this keyboard , it do not even feel like I be typing ! in all honesty , it only take I a couple of hour to get use to the curved shape of the keyboard . all of these key be virtually silent -lrb- except the space bar , it be noticeably louder than the rest of the key -rrb- . because I use Excel , I be always use the number pad . if you also use Excel quite frequently , you 'll appreciate the extra row of key over the number pad -lrb- have a = , -lrb- , -rrb- , and backspace -rrb- . overall , I have be use this keyboard for about a month of consistent use . I be extremely happy that I buy this keyboard and I think it 'll last I for quite some time . whereas I use to hate have to use those `` funky '' ergonomic keyboard , I now dread use regular keyboard . kudos to Microsoft for make a awesome keyboard . +637 Keyboard NEU 3 this keyboard be rough on the wrist . very hard to find a ergonomic keyboard with proper Mac control , however , the design of this keyboard , as all Apple product , be impeccable . +332 Keyboard POS 4 take some get use to , but once you do , this thing be really a neat tool to have . very packable and portable . the only issue be that the silicone be very susceptible to cut and abrasion . do not use knife or rough object around the keyboard ; I cut the membrane of one of the key with a small pocketknife accidentally while open letter . +123 Keyboard NEG 2 unless you plan on use another mouse , or really really like a trackball mouse , do not buy this . the mouse track like a overexcited puppy . they could have a great keyboard if they put a small joystick mouse on it like the old sk-7100 keyboard have . +91 Keyboard NEU 3 this be my favorite mouse . but I have to return it after hour speak with Logitech and Dell . apparently , Logitech 's software conflict with some laptop software that run the laptop 's internal touch pad and pointer . Logitech be aware of this and there be some information on its website . the alternative I choose be Microsoft . I like the keyboard better ; the mouse , while fully feature , fit my hand awkwardly . +402 Keyboard POS 4 work great ; sleek , slim , sharp design ; extremely long battery life ; sometimes i would be nice if there be a number pad but for the most part i do not miss it . now if there be only 1 receiver that work with all of logitech 's wireless device ... this be the only reason i do not give it 5 star . +957 Keyboard NEG 1 I buy this keyboard about two week ago . I have so many problem with it during that time that I finally give up and return it for refund . this be the first Logitech equipment that I have ever have so many problem with . in my home we have six keyboard altogether -lrb- some of they actively use , other on a shelf -rrb- . of we six keyboard , five of they be Logitech keyboard . as I type this review , I be use a Logitech keyboard , a `` old-fashioned '' cord keyboard with the key in a straight line -lrb- with a `` old-fashioned '' Logitech cord mouse -rrb- . \*\* it work better than the keyboard that be the subject of this review . \*\* the initial , original , start installation of the WAVE keyboard and accompany mouse take hour ! the software -lrb- `` setpoint '' -rrb- be probably very sophisticated -lrb- 24 meg ? I should hope so ! -rrb- but I 'll never know for sure . I get it run and I could use the keyboard and the mouse , but the full installation of the latest revision of the Setpoint software be never accomplish . so I try to update the program . the Logitech website insist on present they 64-bit update no matter how many time I check off the 32-bit update choice . then , click on the DOWNLOAD button on Logitech 's site produce nothing . no response . Zero . zip . then I go to another download site -lrb- `` Hippo '' -rrb- and download the proper update . then I attempt to install it and finally succeed after several try . then I try to run Setpoint . it refuse to run , state that a `` essential '' file `` khalwraper . dll '' be corrupt and therefore the INSTALL COULD NOT CONTINUE . I do a search on the net and learn that `` khalwraper . dll '' be a virus of some kind , affect the registry . then I use another program to clean my registry . setpoint still would not run , again make the statement that that essential file `` khalwraper . dll '' be corrupt . then I call customer service . I spend a lot of time in discussion , and I mention and name and slowly spell out the letter of the offend file , `` khalwraper . dll . '' the technician instruct I to uninstall Setpoint , use the Windows Control Panel option to do so . I do , and that be when I finally lose my patience ! the uninstallation of Setpoint leave I with no mouse at all ! -lrb- have you ever try to run Windows without a mouse , use keyboard command only ... ? -rrb- after a lot of waste time , I manage to shut down the computer , pull out all the Logitech Wave component and replace those component with this old-fashioned , non-wireless , non-ergonomic dinosaur . this old dinosaur work , at least . I pack up the Wave , return it to Amazon for refund . now I 'll try to upgrade my dinosaur . again . some word of warn about ` ergonomic ' : the word , `` ergonomic '' do not have a consistent meaning when use to describe keyboard , in my opinion . I find that the most common meaning of `` ergonomic '' in this context be a keyboard that be flat -lrb- that be , no \* wave \* in the height of the key -rrb- but with a curve to the key ' layout , a convex curve from the typist 's viewpoint . the word , `` ergonomic keyboard '' sometimes exclude the so-called `` split '' keyboard in which the keyboard key be separate into two non-curved half , one for left hand , one for right hand . sometimes these half be on the same chassis , sometimes not . be careful when choose a `` ergonomic '' keyboard and\/or mouse . what you need and what you actually buy may not `` match . '' some word of warn about wireless keyboards\/mice : if you wish to upgrade you keyboard and\/or mouse , think carefully about what you want to change and why . if you use a desktop computer and only a desktop computer , think carefully about you need for wireless device . how could use a wireless keyboard enhance you work on you desktop computer ? do you really need the freedom to move the keyboard all over the room ? what be the point ? on the other hand , a wireless mouse \*\* might \*\* be useful if you cord mouse get its tail tangle in the paperwork or other debris on you desk . think carefully ! maybe a cord keyboard with a cordless mouse be the answer . do not go wireless unless you must ! for those of you who use a laptop computer in a desktop environment , you need be different . think carefully . decide . and when you have , look around and buy \*\* exactly \*\* what you need , no less , and \*\* no more . \*\* if you can not find wireless device which meet you need , look harder ! cord device be available ! and , in the long run , I do recommend Logitech . +794 Keyboard POS 5 this be a great keyboard . I get this to use with my ipad 2 . in no time do I have connect to my ipad and be typing away . I like the design and be easy to type on . I would suggest this keyboard to anyone who want a real keyboard for the they ipad\/tablet computer . it also come with the two need AAA battery . +954 Keyboard NEG 1 I buy one of these at a local store to use with my Dell computer , but it do not work . the old keyboard I want to use be not recognize by the computer . +572 Keyboard NEG 1 I have be a devoted Roku user for quite some time now . I have two , and have buy two other as gift . when I get the Roku , all that be available be Netflix and Major League Baseball . since then , multiple channel have be add at a rapid rate , and I rarely watch network tv any longer because the ROKU offer so many good alternative . enter Google TV . I be excite about the possibility , hopeful that it would consolidate so much of the video available on the web . my laptop seem to do a better job , use Windows 7 's Media Center and the hp-provided collection of online content . I would have a better experience have I just run a hdmus cable from the laptop -lrb- with its tuner -rrb- to the television . use the Chrome browser would be nice , if you only know where to look . how about provide a list of video bookmark within Chrome ? of course , use the browser on my 32 '' hdtv require get up from you chair and walk to the tv in order to read the fine print . some sort of magnifier tool would be welcome . another difficulty ensue if you do not have satellite or cable service . my plan be to avoid have such service , because Google tv be go to give I everything I need . that be not happen . integrate tv from a antenna into the device be not possible , unless perhaps there be some way to connect it through a dvr , which I do not have and should not need , consider that the whole idea of Google TV be to provide video when you want it , not when it be schedule . the gist of it all be that Google TV sound like a great idea , but the idea be still unfulfilled . I 'll keep the box and check back from time to time , hope that it , like ROKU , will expand its offering . meanwhile , I 'll keep enjoy my Rokus . ultimately , I 'll probably just connect a dedicated pc with a tuner to my system and let Windows 7 do what Google tv should have be do straight out of the box . it have be a disappointing purchase -- three time the cost of my rokus , and deliver much less than a third of the content . +260 Keyboard NEG 2 this keyboard\/mouse would be half-way decent if it be not for the terrible interference you get if it be anywhere near you wifus router . Construction quality be so so and battery life be about 4 day if you use it frequently -lrb- that be not very good in my book -rrb- . it seem like I be always charge the stupid thing . basically the wifus affect the range of the transmission . the further I put my wifus router away from the little usb dongle the better range I get . overall the touch pad be mediocre and not as good as a laptop ! I also find it cumbersome ergonomically when typing . if give the opportunity I would have purchase something else . +83 Keyboard NEU 3 it be a cheap keyboard . it be cheap , and it be a keyboard . however , if you be picky about key feel , best not use this one . +426 Keyboard POS 4 I get mine , be delighted . I do start to notice a lag at time , sometimes to a full stop . I would text my daughter upstairs to see if she be on she computer with another wireless Logitech keyboard . she be not . surprisingly enough it be happen around the same time\/s daily . I read the review . the receiver be plug into the back of my computer which be not all that far away , but not ` line of sight ' ... I start think and wonder why would they give you a ` long ' cord for the receiver . so I plug it in and hang it around the back of my monitor . I have not have much of a problem since with lag , or anything else other than operator difficulty in typing . I do ocasionally get two comma which be strange , I do not remember hit they twice but I be seriously not sell on the fact that it be the keyboard and not I . the difficulty in key press which I have read , be in my opinion\/experience you hand be in a slightly ` off ' possition on the keyboard . I work at home , so five day a week I be typing constantly for 10-16 hour a day . I also tend to squirm alot . depend on my position , which be rarely the ` proper typing position , ' all I need to do be slightly move the keyboard so it be better center to my seat position . if the key do not stick all the time , then to my mind it be more of a placement issue . thing I love about this keyboard be : I be able to disable the power button . I do not doubt that it be great for some , but I coud see myself accidentally hit it instead of the calculator . however more importantly , my 4 year old granddaughter , hit it , mainly because it be there . okay , she sit on my desk alot watch movie on my other monitor , I programe the media center to open up she folder of movie . she love it . the fact that I can program the other key to do whatever I want be definately a plus . I have use a lot of keyboard in my life , this be most definitely one of the better one . I do recently purchase a Logitech thumb trackball that attach very easily to the keyboard . +304 Keyboard POS 5 just what I be look for to keep my new `` baby '' pretty , safe and clean . Perfect fit and very attractive . the fold out stand be a god send when I be work in front of the tv on my notebook lap table . so easy to put on and take off ! I save for my macbook and want to keep it nice for as long as I can . the `` see through '' logo section look even better in person . I highly recommend this cover . +791 Keyboard POS 5 buy this to replace a illuminate wire keyboard I have for use with my htpc . love this keyboard . the instant on when it sens my hand be close to the board be a really nice feature . there have be time where the light will stay on , even though my hand be not near it , but that have be few and far between . Have have this for over a month now and have only charge it one time with a average daily use of about a hour\/hour and a half total per day . waf = 10 out of 10 . +410 Keyboard POS 5 love the weight of the key . it be a sleek , basic look . own the product for three week . mouse be a little bulkier than I would like and scroll be not as smooth as most mouse . Perfect for my need and budget +425 Keyboard POS 5 Great for gaming , love this keyboard . I have be play Skyrum , Battlefield 3 , WOW , and SWTOR , work great with all these game . make macro easy +564 Keyboard NEU 3 I order this in the hope of get a nice portable keyboard for my android tablet . while the keyboard work fine on my desktop -lrb- run window xp -rrb- and my laptop -lrb- run Ubuntu 11.04 -rrb- , when I plug it into my android tablet , it be slow and unresponsive -lrb- the keyboard , not the tablet -rrb- . however , all my other usb keyboard work fine with the tablet . when I use the siig keyboard , it do not let I type as fast as I like to . run my finger across the top row of key will input only about two of the ten letter that should show up , and do show up with other keyboard . when I be typing normally , word will be miss letter right and left and nothing will be readable . -lrb- I type at around 70-80 word per minute -rrb- . this make the keyboard useless for write on my android tablet . that be say , the keyboard be a very nice convenient size , and work fine with my pc . so go ahead and buy it if you be not plan to use it on a android device . but go with a different one for android . +130 Keyboard NEU 3 for the price this can not be beat . my only issue with this device be the mouse . it be very difficult to use and tend to jump on the screen quite a bit . also , many keyboard detection setup program require you to press the key to the left of the right shift key ... there be not right shift key . +28 Keyboard POS 5 this keyboard be awesome , the most amazing thing that happen be I order this keyboard two day ago and it come yesterday , with free shipping !! I be still amaze at this . this be the best experience with Amazon i have so far . the keyboard work great , it can be use on ps\/2 or usb so that be on of the really good thing about it . there be a lot of button for quick access of stuff . this keyboard be great . it work great and it be much easier to type with less strain on you hand . with my old one , my hand would get tired easily . as logitech say that it feel good in you hand , it actually do . I would recommend this keyboard to anyone . +379 Keyboard POS 5 I love this keyboard , it take a while to get use to . you have to remember to keep you wrist straight , but once you do there be no more pain in you wrist anymore . I also like the way the keyboard tilt in reverse . save I from buy those wrist pad all the time . +306 Keyboard POS 5 really happy i purchase this because its easy to clean and add personality to my macbook pro . also it come within 2 day without the extra cost . +987 Keyboard POS 5 buy a new Macbook for my daughter go off to college . assume there be go to be a lot of wear and tear so wanted to protect it as much as possible . could not be happier . the installation be a breeze . about 8 seconds to figure out which way to align the bottom , then snap into place . the top be equally as easy . about 5 seconds to snap in place . receive it within 2 day . Amazon never fail to please I ! +166 Keyboard POS 5 it be easy to install and a pleasure to use . it have make work from home tremendously easy . sit in a chair try to type into the big screen tv that we also use as a computer be so hard unless I light up the room . now I can work in the dark or with the tv on . I be not sure why else one would need it but it I be 100 % satisfied and it be exactly what we set up call for . +527 Keyboard POS 4 this be a great product for my 13 inch macbook pro . it fit well and keep the dirt out . but , it be a little more difficult to type with this on the key and take a while to get use to . otherwise , I would highly recomment this product +406 Keyboard POS 5 I have purchase this keyboard\/mouse combo many time for the business I work at , and it be honestly the best one I have see and use ... the ergonomic effect be not overwhelming and the surround shortcut key be great ! it have a great feel to it , also . +359 Keyboard POS 5 this thing be great , sure it have some shortcoming but they be overshadow by all that it do . I have buy three of they so far and be about to buy another . I hope they do eventually upgrade the firmware to allow it to access the Android market but if it never happen for under a hundred buck it be still worth it . +38 Keyboard NEG 1 I be go to write a semi-humorous review of this at the point that only 5-10 key be break , but at this point , I can only find 3-4 key that still work . it look absolutely wonderful in the dark , but it be difficult to use unless you have a hard , flat surface to put it on , and in less than a week of operation , I be ready to drop it in the trash -- not worth my time or postage to return it . get a Logitech wireless instead . +492 Keyboard POS 5 I do not like the transparent keyboard cover so I be happy to find this one , with the key print on it . it say it be just for the aluminum macbook , but I have a new white macbook unibody , and the keyboard look similar enough . I be a little nervous that it would not fit , but happily , it fit very well ! it do not slide around when I type , and it fit over the key very nicely . my only concern be that the key that be print on the cover might rub off after a while . it seem fine so far , and it be not expensive so I could buy another one if I need to . also , I do have to type a little harder than I do before -lrb- but that apply to every cover -rrb- . and it be just something I have to get use to . overall very happy with purchase . +799 Keyboard POS 4 I will keep this review short . . !!! set the expectation right . . !!! 1 -rrb- this be a $ 100 product so do not expect it to work like a $ 600 computer . the expectation be not align . 2 -rrb- if you try to use it as as $ 600 computer , it will slow down and crash . setup : 1 . 6 Mbps Internet , Revue be setup to connect to wifi pro : - 1 -rrb- stream Netflix , Youtube , Crackle , Pandora , Radio and many many channel . 2 -rrb- Android Market have ton of application to install and use . 3 -rrb- Google chrome browser be inbuilt . 4 -rrb- can stream any video or movie or online channel that can be stream on you computer . -lrb- some may not work but that be expect -rrb- 5 -rrb- I can search for a free movie online streaming on chrome and click on a link to stream it on my revue and it work perfectly . 6 -rrb- dlna compatible . which mean my laptop folder -lrb- window 7 -rrb- be share with revue and I can stream any thing on the revue from my laptop without any performance degradation on the laptop . this mean , I stream a movie from my laptop on to revue and still work on the laptop . -lrb- be not it amazing ? . . -rrb- 7 -rrb- keyboard be just amazing . good range , good functionality and good integration . I can control my tv , revue and speaker with the keyboard . do not have to deal with multiple remote . con : the only thing I do not like be the update cycle . flash player be still not update due to which some app be break . I be really happy with the device . for the price I pay , I can not expect more from the device . at time , the streaming stop and you just have to start the video , big deal . I be fine do it as I do not expect it to work as $ 600 computer . +765 Keyboard POS 4 the keyboard be great , but I be have a hard time set up shortcut etc. . when I reboot it seem I loose my setting and have to go through the whole process again . +297 Keyboard POS 5 Super cute color , match my room ! Super easy to put on and seem to be very durable . great product for any mac user ! its great : -rrb- get one in pink too ! +238 Keyboard POS 4 this be a absolutely excellent product , and you just can not beat the price . in we conference room , the computer be back in a corner near the lcd projector . unfortunately , that be nowhere near the conference table where people sit . previously , we have to jockey thing around and avoid trip over cable to make thing work . now , you can sit anywhere in the room and control the pc . you can even pass the keyboard and mouse around . Goodbye cable ! and it be completely plug-and-play . pop the include battery into the keyboard and mouse , plug the rf receiver into the keyboard and mouse port on the pc , turn on the computer , and you be up and run ! the hardest part be open the seal plastic packaging . one other reviewer mention a inability to use the keyboard and mouse simultaneously because of channel conflict . you can -- and should -- have the two run on different channel . it even say so in the documentation . unfortunately , the default setting put both on the same channel , so you might have a problem unless you read the documentation first . my only complaint with the product -- the only thing that keep I from give it five star -- be the size of the mouse . it be a little wide and hard for people with small hand to use . but that be nitpicking . I be order one for home tonight ! +215 Keyboard NEU 3 I purchase this keyboard look for a cheap wireless keyboard and touchpad combo . at a distance of around 12-15 foot the response be ify . within range the device work well except for the most annoying thing about it . the device refresh every 30 seconds or so and this be especially irritating when try to watch a movie . it will also slightly move the cursor from time to time which make it worse . sometimes you get what you pay for . +870 Keyboard POS 5 this keyboard and mouse combo be definitely worth the expense , though many would consider $ 70 inexpensive for a wireless keyboard and mouse of this quality . the only issue that I have have , and this be a small issue , be that the mouse be a little smaller than I would have prefer , otherwise this be a great investment . +342 Keyboard POS 5 my husband be a construction superintendent , and use a laptop on the job . this keyboard enable he to work more efficiently , and coffee spill and dirt do not phase it . every guy that see it want one ! +680 Keyboard POS 5 I order this product for a resident in a nursing home who do not have any finger . he love this product I wish I could afford to purchase thing for other resident who have no family but sometimes they just love have the company of other to talk with try vist someone in you area it will not only make they day but you will feel better about yourself also . : -rrb- +256 Keyboard POS 5 this keyboard be durable and work just like a regular keyboard . but it be not wide , only 11.25 inch wide . so , I can fit my keyboard and mouse on my short keyboard tray . +124 Keyboard NEG 1 if you be like I and like to recycle you computer component and you think that you can buy this to save a buck while use a perfectly good keyboard on you laptop . wrong ! the driver to support this keybaord with this adaptor be not not out there . put the 3 buck towards you usb keyboard and put you old keyboard in the landfill like a wasteful American be expect to do in this single-serving society . diff --git a/test/Magazine_Subscriptions.txt b/test/Magazine_Subscriptions.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..142e5177e77cf098765b634a5affafa903d9b501 --- /dev/null +++ b/test/Magazine_Subscriptions.txt @@ -0,0 +1,200 @@ +316 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 I love this magazine that be why I order it six week ago ... still have not arrive . hopefully I will get this upcoming month issue . +220 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 just one more one-star review to throw at this disposable , superficial , cliche , empty-headed `` maggazeen '' . wow , Lindsay Lohan 's favorite lip gloss ! stop the press ! worthless . grow up .

I be sick of all this liberal propaganda that be everywhere . newspaper , magazine , televison , and even at school my teacher try to influence the student ' political view . if you like Sean Hannity than I garrenty that you will enjoy this magazine . +276 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I have enjoy natural history for a long time but I now prefer to buy individual copy . I be not a major science buff and the fund-raising tactic the Museum have use be very annoying . I really be mostly interested in evolution and dna , which be not always feature . for many year , the magazine have do a good job of explore current thought on diverse aspect of natural history . I agree , there have be a bit of `` dumb down '' over time . this may be part of a effort -lrb- misguided and unfortunate in my view -rrb- to attract a broader readership . the article be still authoritative , well-written and handsomely illustrate , however . I be extremely fond of the american museum of natural history and always go there when in New York . the problem that drive I away from the subscription be the tendency to send I thing I do not ask for - like a sizeable collection of greet card - and then to demand in rather peremptory term that I make a contribution to pay for they . I dislike be send thing I do not want -lrb- the greet card strike I as bland and unappealing , as well as surprisingly irrelevant to the magazine and its subject matter -rrb- and then be tell I must pay for they or be regard as some sort of abominable churl . so I just let my subscription expire . in fairness , this be a couple of year ago . I do not know if that practice continue . I hasten to add that I be not repel by reasonable fundraising initiative , particularly from institution like this that I respect and admire . I be happy to contribute to such institution as I be able . I just feel the method employ here be vexing and unreasonable . +776 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this magazine be great because it do not have a lot of advertisement .

Acoustic Guitar Magazine regularly feature interview with the same tired singer songwriter -lrb- some who play well , some who be marginal guitar player -rrb- and even rock star ... hope to sell magazine to casual passer by at magazine rack I guess . recently they do feature a player Andy McKee , but he be something of a internet sensation -lrb- as they call he -rrb- and frankly , everything he be do have be do better by Preston Reed -lrb- another artist never feature on they cover and barely notice by the magazine -rrb- ... and let see there be also Laurence Juber -lrb- 2 x GRAMMY winner -rrb- who have produce nearly 20 acoustic guitar album and soundtrack but have never feature on the cover of Acoustic Guitar Magazine and be only truly feature inside about 16 year ago ! the list of great acoustic guitar player not cover in that magazine be longer than the one they have cover in they 20 year . what I be say be that this magazine do not live up to its name and be a overpriced waste to subscribe to . read it in 2-5 minute at the news stand or book store of you choice and maybe buy one copy a year that amazingly have some content ! Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine be a welcome addition to the periodical world when they enter the game nearly 20 year ago as they do fill the huge gap between Acoustic Guitar Magazine and FRETS . . but sadly that bi-monthly magazine seem to have lose its focus and its editorial staff seem to have interest elsewhere . +555 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I order this for my mother every year . the large print be much easier for she to read and she enjoy it very much . +787 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 j-14 be the BEST ! ... its still really good ! every one in the class read it ! +882 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 timely information on the happening within the body of Christ ; a conservative evangelical perspective without a lot of hellfire and brimstone . a worthwhile read . +418 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 a subscription to this non-magazine be a gift . so far I have receive one issue . however , I feel that potential subcriber need to know that this be not worth the paper it be print on . the project be outdate , very simplistic and not creative or attractive . the issue which I receive be a whopping 38 page . if a product could be rate MINUS 5 star , that be what this be . +830 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 where do I begin ? this magazine have it all for fan of sci-fus , the only periodical which can rival it be Asimov 's . but , if you be like I , you like a combination of real science as well as the fiction , and Analog excel at bring both to the reader . I always feel a sense of anticipation when open up a new issue of Analog , it be just so consistently good . if you have never try Analog before , and love sci-fus , I would say get a copy today , or better yet , subscribe , you will not be sorry . +204 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 my granddaughter be very pleased with she Christmas gift subscription to Vogue Magazine that I give she . she have already receive she first issue of Vogue . we be both very happy with the service of the Vogue subscription department . they process we gift subscription quickly and accurately . thank you . +558 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this be a great magazine to come up with interesting idea to implement in you house . most of the item advertise be a bit expensive , but for the most part it be a great read . +69 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 Bird Watchers Digest be in my opinion a must have magazine for anyone that have any interest in bird . from the backyard feeder to the world traveler observer , bwd have enough content in all area to satisfy anyone particular interest , on any level . there be even a regular section in each issue dedicate to back yard birding . it be not a magazine that be at all snobby and consider back yard novice peasant . on the other hand , it be also a very technical and educational periodical for those that be advance enough to actually take advantage of the many world wide travel suggestion and deal that be offer throughout the book . I first pick up some bwd back issue on Ebay and enjoy it enough to order a regular subscription . I be particularly impress by its compact size , similar to reader Digest . it can be easily carry along in a purse or bag for travel , and of course it make a perfect addition to you bathroom library . the only caution that I would suggest to anyone that decide to buy a subscription be to pass on the offer of the digest newsletter that you can subscribe too for every other month that BWD be not offer . at $ 16 a for 6 issue it be not worth it at all . its a very thin , -lrb- about 10 page -rrb- pamphlet style publication that have as many ad in it as helpful info . its a rip off in all honesty . I let my own subscription to it lapse after the first year . you be much better off subscribe to the bwd email that be send out periodically that be free , and load with article highlight and helpful info . overall I highly recommend bwd for all bird enthusiast on all level . I think you will find yourself look forward to each and every issue ... +722 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I purchase this magazine in July and be tell that I would receive it in October and that Amazon have no control over this . then why be you sell it ??? +593 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I order 6 or 7 magazine subscription from Amazon , and have be please with 5 or 6 . my experience with interview be that no issue of the magazine ever arrive , customer service be next to non-exsistant -lrb- they offer to extend my subscription to a magazine that never materialize , and for some stange reason , whose cover on Amazon magazine never update ... do they still publish it ????? -rrb- , and then charge I for magazine that I never recieve . I once subscribe several year ago and , although it be a look at the picture and toss after skim type of magazine , think enough of the magazine to give it another try , but take my advice and save you money . you 'll just get excuse and aggravation , lose money and receive nothing but a chance to write a review and complain . +813 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I have be read interview since the late 80 's and I have always enjoy it . however , this be not the purpose of this rating . my one star be for the subscription service . when I subscribe in the 90 's I get each issue monthly without any problem . I resubscribe in the summer of 2009 ... and do not get my first issue until the October 2009 issue arrive sometime in November which I think be a bit weird at the time ... but do not give too much attention to . I receive issue through January , and then they stop . I contact subscription and get the same song and dance about the February issue that other people have already mention . then I harass they mercilessly and finally get the March issue mail to I in mid-April . I contact they again today because I have not see any sign of the April or May issue ... both of which have be on the newsstand , but not at my door . it be beyond frustrate know that something have be publish and that you should have a copy , but you be not get it . they subscription service suck . clearly we , the subscriber , be unimportant to they . if it do not pick up I 'll likely ask for a refund but , honestly , I be not hold my breath that I 'll get it give how unreliable everything else have be with they . I also subscribe for four year through one of those school fundraiser thing because I just assume there would not be a problem ... I be sure I do not have to comment about how much I regret that . good magazine but horrible , terrible , awful subscription service . +325 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I order Vogue on Amazon and in less than a month I start receive the fashion-ey goodness , include a 800 page issue-thing that could seriously do some damage to one 's head if hit with it . excellent mag for those who love fashion and Amazon get it here on the fly .

'' : - -rrb- no matter what you political stance on hot button issue such as global warming and oil , you have to admit that National Geographic take a liberal stance . be that good or bad ? entirely up to you to decide . but to they credit , they do a very fair job , within the article , of explain and examine all aspect and point of view . I subscribe because like most of we , I have always be a fan of they photograph , but as they begin to arrive in the mail I find myself pore over each and every page , read every issue from cover to cover . I have learn so many wonderful thing about culture and people I will never get a chance to see in real life , and I have educate myself on issue that otherwise would remain a mystery . one of the most enjoyable aspect of have a subscription be the insert that come in almost every issue . my all time favorite thus far have be a composite map of the entire world at night , show natural gas vent , wild fire , and city light across the globe . fascinating ! for the almost embarrassingly low price of $ 49.00 a year I be more educate , inform , and inspire then I be before I subscribe . +634 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I be more libertarian than liberal , so I disagree with many of the view express in Harper 's . and yet , I look forward to it every month -- indeed , more than I look forward to reason why ? because Harper 's be not just a place for political diatribe -lrb- see : the nation or mother Jones -rrb- ; it be a place for original journalism and thoughtful , timely analysis , right up there in the mid-to-highbrow pantheon with the Atlantic as a bonus , the subscription come with full access to the website , harpers.org , where you can search for and download any article that be be publish in the magazine 's long and storied history . +573 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 subscribe only if you have plenty of time on you hand and little to do with it . it be very slick , nice to look at , but irrelevant . not worth either the time or the money unless you have lot of one or the other or a obsession with ultra modern building . +183 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 first issue due to arrive in 6 , yes six week . . I hope ! a little ridiculous in the 21st century . see Newsweek 's fate ! +552 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I love this magazine , but it be cheaper on the guidepost website . it be only 9.97 plus .97 cent for shipping for twelve issue . on here , it be 16.97 for one year . in fact , on they website , you can get two year for 17.97 there ... just one dollar more . save yourself some money and do not deal with Amazon on this one !!! +716 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 Quality still maintain as it be for year . while something can be replace by internet , this be one of those magazine you need to have in hand . +557 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I enjoy the magazine good enough , I do . what I do not appreciate be that even if you have buy a subscription they make you pay if you want to access it via a mobile app . seriously ?! why on earth should I have to pay for it a second time ?! I guess that be one lesson learn on start a business , nickel and dime you current customer til they leave . well do . +385 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 again this magazine come before Christmas and send both the Dec. and Jan. issue . not happy to receive two issue at once and before Christmas , when it be suppose to be a present . +19 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I be not a architect or a designer .

'' the good far outweigh the bad , and I strongly recommend it as a subscription . +57 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 I like science fiction . a lot . after receive several issue of this I can now say , `` this do not suck , but it really be not all that good .

EAGERLEY AWAITING what have BETTER be a really good excuse !!!!!!!!! BOB TUCKER +298 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I love the picture in this magazine . however , sometimes the article be forgettable .

I love he stuff and it be hard to resist tell you friend about all the thing he observe while he be in the field . he , `` among the Puppeteers , '' be one of my favorite back in 2000 . they have digital access for subscriber only and on Saturday morning they site be the first thing I check for newsworthy article . +687 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 this magazine have great photo , and as a aficionado of mid-century modern I be draw to it like a moth to a flame . but , if you want to actually apply any of these idea to you own house , do not hold you breath -- unless you have $ 150k to plunk down . the featured house be all either custom build new home , or incredibly expensive redesign . I actually get pretty excite the first few issue , with all the possibility , until I mention some of the material to my architect friend . yes , the Nanowall be great , but it be $ 30k for a slide door . I have begin to find the magazine frustrate to read , simply because they dangle these amazing home in front of I with no real hope of my ever approximate any of they in real life . I be hope for a magazine that be far more practical . +103 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 I use to really like this magazine , but it seem to be go down hill very rapidly now . it be about half the size it use to be , and contain way too much advertising . I suspect that the reason be that Stephen J. Gould 's column be what make the magazine so popular , until he quit write it before he die . I will definitely be let my subscription expire . +737 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 Great Magazine at a great price . it be in my mailbox every month with no problem . . +501 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 for a Saturday afternoon of light , but encouraging reading , buy a subscription to `` guidepost . '' there be deeper magazine , bt do not be fool ... every article here connect richly with the soul . this be the kind of magazine both Catholics and Protestants can both love . it be great gift for you friend who attend the church across the street from yours . short vignette and more involved profile color this magazine in much the same way a Reader 's Digest might , except with a clear spiritual flavor . it be ecumenical yet uncompromising : I fully recommend `` guidepost .

Anthony Trendl http:\/\/anthonytrendl.blogspot.com +188 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 Guidepost be one of the best magazine around . the story be true and inspirational . they give you hope and make you feel good about life . I can never get enough of they . I recommend it for people all the world over . +261 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 just get my first issue of Bird Watchers Digest . it have lot of very good information . I be not a avid birder , I just like bird . camera and spot scope be not part of my kit . I do not need to know every variation of each kind of bird . that say , I like read about the habit and habitat of different kind of bird . I love the story about raven in this issue . I look forward to the next issue with pleasure . +611 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 if you want to know anything about upcome style and fashion , VOGUE be a must have staple ! +82 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I own three business and consider myself a entrepreneur . I find it very inspirational to read the account of new business start-up and this magazine deliver with that type of story . the current issue , June 2012 , have a excellent article on Richard Branson , a entrepreneur extraordinaire . however the magazine be just as likely to profile very small new business and in some case will have `` expert '' weigh-in on what they think the prospects be for that business . sometimes there will be article on great smartphone app that be available for the person on-the-road all the time . or maybe office furniture review . you 'll find tip on how to finance you start-up and then maybe how to save for retirement . it be a great magazine for the business-minded individual . I really enjoy it . +184 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 have just subscribe to 12 issue of Catholic Digest , and have just browse through a free copy , I be truly disappoint . this magazine be not the same magazine that I have subscribe to year ago and that it be not a truly catholic magazine . as a number of other reviewer have point out here , and as some writer to the Editor have point out , the Catholic Digest have change ! the article in this magazine have stray away from the official doctrine of the church . dissident writer like Andrew Greeley , sj , who have openly disagree with the Holy see , have column there . although Pope JPII die on 3 April this year , the May issue of Catholic Digest make not a single mention about the pope . -lrb- only the June issue start have article on jpius . -rrb- instead , the cover story in the May issue be about parish that be be run by woman but `` woman can not be ordain '' and `` lay people be complain that clergy in the Church be all-powerful '' -lrb- ?! -rrb- . truly , if the editor have any honesty leave , they should either change its title or focus , and not dupe faithful Catholics into subscribe to a pseudo-catholic magazine . +48 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 very good magazine ; keep you up to date . Photography and article be outstanding and not fluff !! ~ i recommend it highly +583 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I receive the May issue on June 16 - they should be mail the July issue ! that mean that I have lose the value of two issue since they be start with out of date issue . save you money ! +104 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 okay , they publish my new book : work positive in a negative world . and I love Jere , Karen , Leanne , Jillian and the rest of the dream team on the book publishing side . but I promise this be more than self-aggrandizement here . I have yet to remember when I first start read this magazine . yes , it be that long ago . if you truly want to achieve a work positive lifestyle start today , go to the website and get a magazine subscription . read every word in every edition . you will discover the answer to every question you 'll ever have about start and run a business ... include how to work positive in a negative world . +909 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 the picture of National Geographic have always catch my attention , but after order for my wife , I have the privelege to take my time and read through the extensive information find in they article and I be blow away . incredible journalism go into these magazine . +376 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 there be two good way to tell what audience at which a woodwork magazine be aim . the first be the type of advertising , and the second be how much skill do the project expect you to have . it be pretty clear right away that Woodworker 's journal server home woodworker who be already of moderate skill . the advertised ` big toy ' run in the 500 to 1500 dollar range , although there be a couple of high end combination machine in the add as well . Articles expect you to know how to use the tool of the trade but not sure about the ` best ' way to do something . a recent issue make a study of a intarsium back high chair with some interesting joinery , and instruction for make a genuinely exotic angle jig for a table saw . write be solid and reasonably illustrate , but they devote little space to what you should already know , which can make these project a stretch for a tyro . the magazine be very tool orient . there be not a lot of space devote to hand tool or history . expect article compare nail gun and help you decide whether stationary or bench top equipment be right for you . however , traditionally manual task like finish also receive they due . I find the Woodworker 's Journal suit I quite well , and I expect to continue read it . +162 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I buy this magazine as read material for my flight home from Ruzyne Airport in Prague to NYC . this be the first time I ever purchase this magazine . terrible choice . First of all this magazine be not worth the $ 10 + USD I pay for it . it be way too large to do anything with on the airplane and the content be for the lack of a better word boring ! every other page be some chic ad . who buy this magazine ? well I will not be buy it again . +824 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 National geography magazine ... excellent for family reading ... also with great photography , if you dont have time to travel around . this a a good deal from amazon , $ 15 for subscription of one year . +809 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 I really dont realize why I have not receive this item yet its going on 6 week and have already be charge . SO IM UNABLE to RATE THIS PRODUCT . +133 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 have be get N.G. , now for 40 year . when I see Amazon have renewal for only 10 dollar instead of the 30 something geographic renew for , I have to snag on it . you would think the long time subscriber would get a better deal than the `` newby '' . anyway still really LOVE Geographic , both article and picture ! +618 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this magazine , Vogue , come in the mail , on time . I like this magazine enough to renew it again this year . +912 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 Dwell be a unique -lrb- in my opinion -rrb- magazine and I like that . unlike many if not most magazine that revolve around home design , this magazine do so with environmental concern in mind as well as style . and as someone who appreciate the less be more mantra , I like the fact that the magazine show off abode that be small yet spacious . like in the April 2006 issue where aloft in the forest , where a urban yet forest feel loft style home on a compact lot be show . use easy and affordable idea for the interior element . yes , the magazine have ad , but to they credit they must screen client so that what ad be there , fit the style of the magazine . no fluffy dust catch junk . +923 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 ok it be hard to knock National Geographic , because it be essentially in a league of it be own as it cover environment , geography , culture , etc. . however after 15 year of subscription it be time to move on . the magazine have become very americanized . and the recent overindulgence in 911 and Iraq be a real turn off . it be a big world out there , surely there be more happen . the magazine typically also have a lot of editorial banter in it be article , rather than relate information . anyhow the search for a alternative lead I to the british CNN Traveler magazine to which I be now subscribe . a little more worldly with a diminish american perspective . Geo be also a good magazine , though not available in english . geographical magazine do not quite pique my interest . I still may buy a occasional National Geographic if I see a good issue on the magazine rack . +67 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 after read the heavy , intense work of apologetic like Scott Hahn and Karl Keating , not to mention intelligent and theologically strong writer such as Patrick Madrid , `` Catholic Digest '' be a nice step to the lighter side . yes , I 'll admit that `` Catholic Digest '' do not have the hardest hit article nor do it always make the reader think much , but it be nice to read a warm , fuzzy story sometimes . it be very similar to `` Reader 's Digest '' in its content , humor , and article style . naturally , it do have quite the catholic edge to it that the other `` Digest '' lack , but I would not go into a theology fight with it tuck under my arm . it be reserve more for those time when we want to laugh a little bit or read about a young child make a difference in they community . in recent issue , there have be a number of nice article on individual who be catholic and in prominent place in society , lay volunteer , Pope Benedict 's life , and Lourdes , France . none of these article be very thought-provoking but they do supply the reader with some nice general information . however , the magazine have also tackle tougher issue recently such as the existence of evil as secular society and christian view it and the real presence in the Eucharist that most non-catholic do not believe . I convert to Catholicism in 2000 . in the year before make my final decision , `` Catholic Digest '' be one of the resource that I pick up . it do not offer too much in the way of solidify my decision to join the Church , but it do make some of bump along the way a little bit softer . not all catholic literature have to be tough and academic . every once in awhile we need a good laugh or just a nice story of human compassion . that be what I believe `` Catholic Digest '' excel in do . I love read the work of Hahn , Keating , Madrid , and other , but every now and then I like to pick my latest copy of `` Catholic Digest , '' peruse the `` words for quiet moment '' or leaf through a short article about a catholic missionary 's work in some arid little town in the middle of nowhere . in other word , it give you a nice little break from the madness that be a christian life . +860 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 i love this magazine , can not wait for the next issue . would recommend this for any one who like to look at western clothing , and jewelry , or furniture . thanks , lee +219 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this product live up to what be expect - I like order through Amazon as it be very easy and a good price . +257 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 I recall the first issue that I ever see of COWBOYS & INDIANS magazine . Tom Selleck grace the cover , tout a story about Selleck and he newest western , CROSSFIRE trail . the story be marvelous . shortly after buy this copy from a newsstand I subscribe . as I examine each ensue issue of C&I; one fact become quite clear to I : c&i; be all about play cowboy and Indians . other than a few well-placed story about some of the West 's most notable character , each magazine be pack with silly ad for supposedly acceptable western wear , `` Society '' page that feature the face of mostly unknown individual who be on hand for the latest obscure `` western award '' or some off-the-beaten-track wine tasting . in fact , just today I take the current issue of C&I; and tear out all the advertisement and other nonsense that , in my thinking , really have not any business show up in a magazine about the real West . to my dismay I excise nearly seventy page or almost half of the magazine ! admittedly , most of the cover story have be great . but every once in a while the editor seemingly can not resist throw in character like Jewel , Hilary Duff , Arnold Schwarzenegger or Lance Armstrong , individual who be , when it boil right down to it , about as truly western as Caroline Kennedy ! after all , it take more than live in a western state -lrb- or even be the governor of one -rrb- to really be a westerner . in the end it be all what I call the `` pseudo-west . '' as artificial as a wooden nickel . I have hope that , as the subtitle of the magazine assert , COWBOYS & INDIANS be `` the Premier Magazine of the West . '' instead I be overwhelm and disappoint at how the publisher and editor of this magazine have simply make the West a sort of cheap dodge . they seem to view it as more of a decorative theme or as a fashion style than as a actual lifestyle . the actual title of the magazine might well be `` let 's - play-like-we be - Really-Western-Folks ! '' of course , there be likely a demographic that fit here , man and woman who would not recognize a real horse if it lope up and step on ` em . but then , I be talk about find magazine that really reflect a western lifestyle . if you agree with I you would be much better serve to pass on C&I; and subscribe to western horseman . the horseman +885 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 this review refer to `` Cowboys and Indians '' -lrb- magazine -rrb- I purchase this `` Cowboys and Indians '' during my last grocery shopping trip when I be pass the magazine rack and there be John Wayne 's face grace the cover . this edition be a `` special Collector 's Edition '' with a centennial tribute to we guy . I could not resist . and I think that I may even order a subscription because Cowboys and Indians hold a great interest for I . I love everything to do with they . the feature article on the Duke be great , and I enjoy read it very much , but there be not too much else about this publication that would make I want to put out the money to receive it on a regular basis . the magazine be pretentious and gear toward those cowboy and gal who may be live in Beverly Hills . the page be nearly cover to cover advertisement for high style and high price goods range from land to furniture , artwork , jewelry and clothing . there be a few article , poem and story between all the schmaltz . in this issue I be interested in one about a french cowboy actor Jean `` Joe '' Hamman -lrb- 1885 - 1974 -rrb- dub the `` french John Wayne '' . I also find some great western recipe and gardening tip . when I see a article title ` Hi-Ho Silver '' , I get excite think it would at least be something have to do with `` the Lone Ranger '' , but of course it be page and page of high price jewlery . for the most part , this high quality magazine do not give I much on real cowboy . and there be almost nothing on the ` indian '' part of the title . aside from some beautiful look sculpture -lrb- and a small blurb -rrb- , one that probably be worth more then my car -lrb- I be not sure how much it cost because you have to call a number to find out -rrb- , there be not much on they at all . it be probably worth a view once or twice a year for those interested in upcome event and art fair , etc , as there be calendar with the various event . and even there , I do not see any pow-wow list . but I would not recommend a subscription if you be look for some substantial read of `` Cowboys and Indians '' happy trail ...

'' I do not always agree with every article or opinion , and I know the magazine have the reputation of be a neo-conservative publication , but for keep up with current event from the point of view of conservative -lrb- and often christian -rrb- it beat the rest . my favorite feature be `` the Scrapbook '' and casual - both usually very funny . I also enjoy the `` Books & Arts '' section - it make hold onto each issue worthwhile , as the review be so good that they be usually re-readable . a subscription to this magazine be a treat ! +514 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 if you be look for catholic news , culture , spirituality , history , apologetic , liturgical update , or DOCTRINE , THIS be certainly not the magazine for you . the article feature in Cath . dig . be HETERODOX -lrb- not orthodox -rrb- , and stray -- in tendency or in explicit term -- from the magisterium of the Church . anti-christian feminism , homosexual activism , and general modernist revisionism and a rebellious `` anti-dogmalism '' pervade the page of `` Catholic '' Digest , though often -lrb- but not always -rrb- with veil language . for Catholics try to get they faith straight , or Protestants and non-Catholics try to find out more about what the christian faith be all about , stay away from this publication !! as a cleric and a pastor of the flock of God , I strongly urge you not to purchase this magazine . the Rev.

'' I say it be a interfaith magazine , however it be rare to see article about Muslims , who certainly must have uplifting story of they own to tell . nevertheless , it be a great little magagzine to read when you want to read a little something while in bed , when you have a little break from the kid , or when you need something a little more positive in you life . +966 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 ...

I do not know if that mean I qualify to review the paper as a whole . I find its article informative and straightforward . there be a certain economy about the publication . it seem to I sometimes as if it be a kind of ` Wall Street Journal ' in color . I suppose one reason I do not take objection to it in any serious way be that I most often agree with its politics . when I read its article I feel I be get the most for my money in the short time it take I . +541 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 on the magizine pic it show a old one I just supscribe in 2012 will I get those old issue plz help thnk +182 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 I download the current trial magazine -lrb- which be -rrb- 250 mb -rrb- , hope to start a subscription on my new Kindle Fire HD . unfortunately , the subscription be so thick with feature that it be hard to navigate smoothly . it be slow and cumbersome to respond ; example : take two swipe to turn a page or play video and the sound be all that come through . picture be beautiful but I do not want this frustration while try to enjoy the magazine . +936 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 what can I say . . it be National Geographic . great stuff & it be process much faster than normal magazine subscription , +960 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 I subscribe in 2009 - get two issue , then nothing since the October\/November issue ...

'' it seem almost pointless to subscribe ... which be terrible because I love this magazine . . +150 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 when you get a copy of the american Vogue , the first 5 page at least be full page ad for fashion , fragrance , or whatever else . the table of contents be typically 1-2 page . once you start flip through the magazine , you find the average length of a article be 1\/2 to 1 page long . it be difficult to discern the fashion photo shoot that be part of the actual magazine content from the article themselves . the fashion tip and photo shoot be not base on any real style insight but rather on who have buy sponsorship in the magazine . if you really want to read this magazine , I suggest you flip through it at the library or while wait for a appointment at some office that have a subscription . it will take you less than 30 minute to read the entire magazine from cover to cover and the only thing you 'll be leave with be know that be 30 minute of you life you be never go to get back . +693 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 the Weekly Standard be a must read for all conservative thinker . as a conservative college student place in the middle of a Leftist-Mecca -lrb- University of Pittsburgh -rrb- , the Weekly St. give I the info I need to stay alive . +22 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 I use to read Harper 's when I be a cynical 20-something . now that I be a somewhat less cynical 30-something , I just can not take the nearly hysterical atmosphere of gloom that pervade it . Life be grim for many around the world -- always have be , always will . wallow in that grimness be not in anyone 's interest . additionally , Harper 's do not give voice to alternative political viewpoint -- if they have they way , the editor would pack the court , congress , and White House with liberal no matter the cost . this be a pluralist society and a magazine with the intellectual firepower of Harper 's at its disposal should be strong enough to admit a range of view . let the Harper 's politburo have they funereal fun and read the New Yorker instead . +116 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I subscribe it from Amazon in August 13 , 2010 , but I have not receive any single one so far , and today be already Jan 7 , 2011 . do it take such a long time ??? +704 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this be a great coffee table magazine . the photography be excellent . the article be great , but it be the photography which really make everything happen . if you have ever look at a issue of this , you know what you be get . a lot of work go into each issue and you can tell . this magazine be as great now as it ever be . +915 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this be a great gift . we subscribe to this for family last year and they love it . the only problem be that when we renew it for they this year , there be nothing send to those in receipt , so the only way they know they get it be that we tell they . it would be nice if they send a note out that they subscription have be renew . I think they say they would : -lrb- +700 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 some anonymous person leave three issue of this magazine in the chiropractor 's office , where my wife start read and then ask if she could have they . sure , say the receptionist . thus be we introduce to a very inspirational magazine . who know ? maybe it be angel-guided . we like this magazine enough to subscribe -- which be what bring I here to do this review . `` angel on Earth '' be publish six time a year by guidepost , which many people know through the `` guidepost '' magazine -lrb- inspirational -rrb- and holiday theme book . although guidepost be definitely a christian publisher , the `` Angels '' magazine itself be non-denominational and even inter-religious at time . one of the three issue we find in the doctor 's office have a story about a jewish Holocaust survivor . another story be about a child look for a lose cat , with no real focus on God as such , other than be `` guide '' to look in a unlikely place . some of the people in the story be not all that religious or , if they be , they particular religion be present as a part of they personal bio as it fit into the story , not as preaching or `` witness . '' the illustration , too vary widely -- from `` church Sunday school '' picture of angel from the Renaissance master , to more ordiinary drawing of sea captain , cop , lumberjack , ordinary mom and dad -- depend on the story they illustrate . -lrb- if you know `` guidepost '' , you know the artwork -- otherwise , think `` Reader 's Digest . '' -rrb- the purpose of the magazine be not to convert you to anything but , rather , to tell true story about people who have have encounter with guardian angel . `` belief '' be leave up to the reader . some of the angel story be of the `` miracle '' type : survive car crash , shipwreck , serious illness , etc. . other be of the more `` ordinary '' type , such as the stranger who be there at the right moment . this fit with the jewish pov of a angel , since the Hebrew word , malach , can refer either to a supernatural be or a earthly messenger . personally , I believe in angel , and I find the story fascinating . grant , some of they might strike you as version of `` the vanishing hitchhiker . '' on the other hand , all the story be first-person , by-lined account , often with photo of the people or animal involve . and how do we know the vanishing hitchhiker be not a real angel sometimes ? +934 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 this magazine be fun and serve as great eye candy , but my partner be a architect and prefer more industry-oriented publication . perhaps the shopping consumer 's version of architecture , style and design . +388 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 my great-grandmother buy subscription to guidepost for all of she grandchild year after year . I grow up eagerly read the story every month since I learn to read in grade school . when my sister and I marry and move out , my mom continue the tradition by pay for we subscription every year . after I read each issue , I pass it along to my girlfriend , who then pass it to she neighbor . my husband and I buy subscription every year for we seven adult niece and nephew , as well as for several friend . these story never fail to put I in a better mood . Whenever I be feel down or I can not sleep , I pick up a guidepost . usually , I can not put it down until I have read the whole issue . the story be all from real , normal , everyday people . they get my mind off of myself , remind I of God 's faithfulness , and put life in proper perspective . this be the only magazine of which I can honestly say you will not be disappoint . it be worth the price , many time over . everyone with whom I have share it have grow to love it , too . I feel that it be the best gift I can give someone I care about . +589 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 receive much earlier then expect very very pleased I will be order the little kid geographic and the kid geographic for my other child +397 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 grant , it be call ` Catholic Digest ' but it lack in the way too many catholic publication lack ... it do not get often enough into what it mean to live out a catholic faith in a everyday world . it be very well-written , and have a sharp `` guidepost '' or `` Reader 's Digest '' feel about the look and tone . some article in Catholic Digest can be poignant , but I want my faith challenge . I want to know how I can serve Christ Monday-Friday . explain to I the Liturgy ... why be various aspect of it important ? what about what the Bible say about alcohol , or daily prayer ? how about define Mary 's official role , dispel the mistaken belief than she be equal to Christ -lrb- the question of veneration versus worship -rrb- ? the protestant magazine be load with account about how God change they life . I would like to see more of that . the Protestants have lot of Bible study and that sort of thing in they magazine . do I have to buy a Protestant magazine like `` Discipleship Journal '' `` Moody monthly '' to learn how to be a better Christian ? they be fine , but it seem with the long history of great theologian , someone could get a catholic variation on all of that . I think catholic Digest be the best publication offer for Catholics . but I would like more meat . Anthony Trendl +543 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 wow !

I be a business magazine junkie . as I read the magazine , I tear out any useful information i may want to read again later . I rarely find anything I do not know about in Entrepreneur , and I usually read the magazine in twenty to fourty minute . usually , I feel I waste my time . if you be look for a magazine of entrepreneurial entertainment and personal story , get Entrepreneur . if you be look for a magazine full of hour of spectacular information and knowledge , get yourself a subscription to Business 2.0 -lrb- in my opinion , the best in this genre -rrb- . the best thing about business and trade magazine be that they may be tax deductible as a business expense . -lrb- of course , check with you tax advisor first . -rrb- +784 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 love how much I save on this mag , enjoy expand my knowledge and this mag help I do that , love to learn +279 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 I love Vogue -lrb- all of they , US , Britain , Italia , Japan , Paris ... -rrb- but if you be order from Amazon , keep a eye out .

I would agree with some review that say the writing be uneven , maybe not in quality always - the nature of the magazine be a variety of article cover a broad range of topic , some of which I do not always read . at the same time , this be what I enjoy about the magazine : it be a interesting mix of article and idea that I have not find anywhere else . I read magazine to get away from the computer and Harper 's present a broad range of idea to keep I interested . the fiction and poetry be excellent . artwork be scatter in the magazine that be also interesting . other have mention the ` Harper 's Index ' and ` finding ' section which be collection of statistics and recent research finding that be particularly entertaining for quick perusal . I also read the New Yorker , Atlantic , and Mother Jones and find Harper 's fit nicely with these as it comprise many idea to think upon -lrb- as a swedish friend phrase it -rrb- . +349 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I be a big fan of the NGS . they be well know for produce good documentary , the magazine be to the same par . each issue have the first half of the book with short article and brilliant photos\/images follow a couple of article in detail cover various topic . love ng and love the magazine . +586 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I buy this magazine for my 10 year-old son . he always find interesting article and picture . it be well worth the price for such great quality . +294 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 my daughter get this magazine , along with a couple of other . it be the highlight of she day when they come in the mail . she read it through as soon as she get it ! +985 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 most guitar magazine be about mainly equipment and to a lesser extent , the thrash\/metal\/punk \/ whatever hero of the moment . `` Acoustic Guitar '' be different . it do talk about equipment , sure , but the primary focus have always be the music and the artist . I have a couple year ' worth of `` Acoustic Guitar '' on my bookshelf , unlike another popular magazine that get read and toss or give away . I do not save every issue , but I save a lot , as there be so much timeless information and good music to be find . in the few issue withe arm 's reach I see a story on the music of `` O Brother where be Thou ? '' with a arrangment of `` man of constant sorrow '' . here be a article on jazz manouche and Django Reinhardt , with a tutorial write by John Jorgenson . another issue spotlight the then-new MTV Unplugged phenomenon , and have a transcription of Clapton 's unplugged `` Layla '' .

I would highly recommend this mag to any girl age 12 and up . you will not regret it ! +237 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 when I be around 12 , I use to like this magazine . hidden underneath all the teenage , wannabe-tabloid fluff be actually some interesting article and fairly interesting celebrity gossip . plus , I really like the glossy poster . but now , j-14 have take a turn for the worse . the article have get really dull , most of they revolve around the likes and dislike of celebrity . do any of we honestly care about where -lrb- insert Disney Channel star 's name -rrb- or -lrb- insert teenybopper 's name -rrb- shop or who they have a crush on or what be they absolutely fave lip gloss ? the answer be : NO. . and I hate how they show the same celebrity over and over again now . in every issue , there be Taylor Swift , Justin Bieber , Miley Cyrus , a Jonas , Selena Gomez , Demi Lovato , etc. . and when they do show someone new , it be just some teenybopper who star in some movie I never watch and never will see . if you really like this kind of stuff , I recommend read magazine for adult like people . +175 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 O.k. , what indian 's ? sometimes i will will go two mag , before they 'll have a small arctial about a indian artiest , I realy think we can not do anthing ealle ! but we be not arty , and we be not all on a Res . ! +928 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I order it as a birthday gift for a 11 year old boy , he love it ! it be great for child \/ adult interested in history and geograhy . +351 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 you shoul read both Inc and Entrepreneur . especially at the subscription price at Amazon .

I always enjoy the wonderful photography in the magazine , and I have to admit , that be still the part of the magazine that I enjoy the most . oh , I read the article once in a while , but many of they have a liberal slant on they that I do not appreciate . still despite that , the story be usally well write and the picture remain outstanding . +157 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 this be one of the few magazine I read from cover-to-cover . Bird Watcher 's Digest have something for everyone . they offer advice on how to improve feeder system for individual who enjoy backyard birdwatching . they provide informative identification tip for those trickier species for people who have just begin they journey into the feathered realm . additionally , they have great author & astounding birder , like Kenn Kauffman -lrb- who be both -rrb- , who regularly write short article for they . these should appeal to everyone at whatever experience level . the size of the magazine make it easy to tote into the field so you can pull it out & read while wait for that elusive rarity to show up for you to get a quick glimpse of before it dash off to part unknown again . I highly recommend this magazine . besides , you can not be in the field all of the time & this make the perfect thing to read on those cold , wet , rainy day when even the bird be smart enough to stay in-door . +862 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I love j-14 i have be a loyal subscriber to this magazine for 2 year ... and i could not ask for a better magazine ! I be a huge fan of Kelly Osbourne , and j-14 always have the latest scoop on she , and have ton of picture ! I hate magazine like YM , Teen People , and all those other stupid magazine because there be more ad in it than article . . and what the point of read a magazine that only have ad in it ? there be not one...j-14 also have free glossy picture of lot of different celeb in every issue , which be very cool ! they also do not keep there focus on the same thing every month . . each issue be very interesting and really well put together !!!

I love the tv program but the magazine be awesome . +851 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I have read this magazine on and off for a several year and want to add my 2 cent . yes , the magazine do have many ad for business opportunity . but this be exactly something I want to read and evaluate , the marketplace of business opportunity . many of these be franchise opportunity , which be exactly where the first time entrepreneur should start . the article be generally well write and many will obviously be useful , but not all . the value of each article often depend on where you be in the business creation process . it be not until I read the e-myth Revisited that I understand the value of these franchise . this magazine slice and dice the franchise by many metric to help you find one where you be most likely to both succeed and be happy . the magazine be easily worth more than the price to any person seriously start or build a small enterprise . Hope this have be helpful to the entrepreneur out there . +20 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 first , let I say that I think ng be a wonderful magazine , make for those that read article that make they think . my only complaint be that , upon sign up for a subscription , the NG Society fulfil the first 3 issue of my subscription by send I back issue . while there be article of interest in these issue , I expect to be treat as a value customer , not as a source for dispose of excess inventory take up space in a warehouse . resulting grade : content - a + subscription tactic - f +223 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I really enjoy get this magazine .

I be a closet soap opera fan . I watch as the World turn and Guiding Light regularly , and occasionally all my child . this magazine be ideal for someone who be a casual viewer and only follow one network . the writing be that great , although it be not bad , per se . it be just very elementary . other magazine about soap have more intelligent critique of act and story . the `` spoiler '' be not as good as in other magazine , either , and the recap be not as up to date as in sod or spw . overall , for what it cost , I would say just get Soap Opera Digest or Soap Opera Weekly . it be a bit better than Soap Opera Update , though , which be why I give it 2 star as oppose to 1 . +523 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 the magazine be ridiculous . the people in this magazine be a bunch of pretentious yuppie and art student pose as architect . people who be interested in $ 2,000 bath should have more interest in feed starving child around the world .

I find it a bit deceptive , however , that this be the normal price for a annual subscription -lrb- check they website at www.dwell.com -rrb- . why waste the time fool you customer ... who I expect be generally smarter shopper . thanks , but no thanks , Amazon . +322 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 what a pretty mag to lay on the coffee table . and while I expect all the large glossy ad I be surprise about the quality of the content ; it be surprisingly good . we be not talk volume of information , but just right - you be leave know something more about Hawaii and craving more . each issue that arrive here at the house wander from coffee table to my desk and maybe back again , then and eventually to work where as I hand it off to someone I sometimes ask `` when be you next trip to Hawaii ? '' . and I have actually buy a few thing from advertiser in the magazine , include -lrb- ... -rrb- which be now a holiday tradition in we house . this be also a perfect gift magazine and the whole magazine process through Amazon make it so easy -lrb- plus and in my case I save ship to address within Amazon so new order be even faster -rrb- . +99 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this mag be great !

I like that they be less bias than what you would see in a pharmacutical publication . recipe be simple , and very tasty . I also like that they give many different lifestyle suggestion for deal with diabetes . I feel this publication do well with the treatment of pre-diabetes , type i , and type ii , very well . it offer a balance of article that all patient should be able to walk away with quality information . I would encourage people to try this magazine if they be deal with this disease , or if you family deal with this disease . it simply do a exceptional job of go over treatment and change in lifestyle that you can make . Diabetes be a serious disease , and be educate about the condition ensure that you give yourself better care . +806 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I get this as a freebie along with w and it last only as long as I receive it for one year . the use of fur and skin be nauseating and I could not have be more disgusted at the vapid , innocuous , ` insight ' it offer . this magazine have no redeeming social value . +993 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 this be a ok magazine but its nothing different from the other `` teenybopper '' stuff on the market . it be strickly celebrity and there be no actual real article like fiction , real life story , etc. -lrb- if you want a mag like that I suggest you check out girl ' life . -rrb- also , I would not believe all the celeb colum because most of it be just gossip . but its fun bubblegum fluff and a entertaining read for a long car ride . the definate plus be that it have ton of glossy , colorful pic of star . if you into the latest in music , movie , tv , actor , actress , etc and you between the age of 8 and 15 I recommen this to you . +911 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 Asimov 's science fiction magazine be one of the premier source of new short story and novellum length science fiction . it also have the occasional serialized novel . have be introduce to science fiction through Isaac Asimov 's own short story anthology back in the 70 's I be surprise to find how much I enjoy the return to the short story format after many year of `` blockbuster novel '' . the magazine consistently showcase the best new talent . it also have a stable of veteran , commercially successful , writer that use the magazine as a vehicle to return to they root . notable such as Michael Swanwick , James Patrick Kelly , Kage Baker , and Tom Purdom to name a few . Asimov 's seem to always have nominee in the yearly Nebula and Hugo award for science fiction . most story be `` Social Science fiction '' in which a loose future backdrop be use to tell a character base story with a eventual universal truism reveal . it be rare to find a `` hard science fiction '' story in which the extrapolation of known science into a future setting play a critical role in the climax and conclusion of the story . Stories from the early writings of Larry Niven be good example of such story . this be a forgivable lapse as most editor would tell you that they would love to see more hard science submission . the magazine also boast one of the best editorial section pen by acclaimed author Robert Silverberg . he cover topic range from strict science to historical recollection of the science fiction genre . he have also reintroduce many reader to lose story and author such as Cordwainer Smith with great biographical piece . they also have poem ; no offense Mr. Haldeman . +488 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 I use to get this magazine awhile ago , but I get tire of read about celebrity . there be not really any real life issue , or even many other topic . unless you love to read about celebrity ' life , I do not recommend this magazine . +386 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 as a library administrator I get to see and read a awful lot of woodwork book and magazine . I have be a personal subscriber to Woodworker 's Journal for a year now , and a off and on reader of the magazine for about 5 year . in that time I have grow to appreciate this as a very good woodwork magazine . be it my favorite ? no , but I still like it well enough to recommend it to other . I also regularly read fine woodworking , Workbench , Wood , Popular Woodworking , etc. and like all of those , this magazine have its strength . I find that wj be very into power tool , tool review -lrb- theirs be among my favorite -rrb- , and shop project . have say all of that , I also must confess that the best piece of furniture I ever build come from a plan in WJ magazine -lrb- a art & craft style wine storage table -rrb- , so do not pigeon-hole it too much . try it for a year and I bet you will not be sorry ! +528 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this magazine be fun to read and look at . the photography be excellent and article be well-written and full of exciting information .

I always assume this be a magazine solely about travel and tourism . while travel , resort , and related topic be a important part of this magazine , they be not the only part . the rest of Hawaii Magazine deal with cultural and native topic . it let you discover the people who inhabit these island . you get to learn about hawaiian custom , holiday , art , dress , and culture . with the emphasis on culture , Hawaii Magazine be a learning experience . the people responsible for the publication of this magazine want reader to come away with a better understanding of what it mean to be hawaiian and to live in this island chain . they want you to think of Hawaii as more than just a nice , warm , sunny place to visit . they want you to learn about the people that inhabit Hawaii : how they dress , how they celebrate event , how they interact with other , etc. . if I have to name a few con to this magazine , they would have to be the publication short length -lrb- less than 100 page per issue -rrb- and its infrequent publication -lrb- every two month -rrb- . other than these negative aspect , most everything else about this magazine make it worthwhile to read . it be a educational lesson on the people and the lifestyle of those we call hawaiian . +459 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 this be one of those great magazine that pack a lot of idea and information into each issue . I love the innovative photography , the fresh idea , and the range of dwelling -lrb- apartment to mansion -rrb- they cover .

I especially enjoy the Weekly Standard 's Scrapbook , a regular column where some of the more bizarre and inane action of the left be give proper exposure . as well , the Weekly Standard 's book and movie review be , at time , superior even to National Review 's . as a magazine , the Weekly Standard be a must for conservative and will probably be enjoy by moderate -lrb- and perhaps even open-minded liberal -rrb- with a sense of humor . as for those you who be still bemoan the result of the Florida recount and wish Clinton could have have a third term -- well , I think mother Jones be still look for subscriber ... +306 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 this be a very useful publication for those near or at retirement . the information be up to date , helpfull and informative . +987 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 not for the interview . vogue be about fashion .

I do not want my daughter grow up to think that native american be ugly and unintelligent . or that all woman be jealous and malicious . its really appalling .

I give it 5 star . this be a must see ! +722 Movies_TV NEU 3 well , the box claim it be get more magic , wonder , and suspense than the original , but we know right off the bat there be no way that could ever possibly be the case ; no Disney sequel even match its predecessor -lrb- some come a lot closer than other though -rrb- . but like Cinderella II , this one be semi-enjoyable , semi-worthwhile , and not a total atrocity . it be , of course , better than Cinderella II , which be essentially a string of fairly silly short story . there be a few way , though , in which I feel ii be superior to iii . now to put a time frame on iii -lrb- or twist , as I 'll call it -rrb- understand that it start out a year after Cinderella have marry the Prince . Lady Tremaine magically rewind time to the moment when the Grand Duke show up with the glass slipper in the first film . thus the first segment of ii , start right after Cinderella 's honeymoon , have already happen in the beginning of twist , but time be then rewind ; the third segment with Anastasia and the Baker happen entirely after twist ; and the second segment , which be the stupid little story about the mouse , be completely irrelevant . Got that ? it become pretty clear , really . so in twist , they have build on the second one instead of ignore it , as I have expect they to do . but no beatrice , Daphne , or countess show up . at least , twist have a original plot , and be not another feeble attempt at continue a story . with the exception of the song by Jacques and Gus , and the one at the end , the music in twist be lame . the whole movie still have that `` I be not even go to try to live up to my original '' sequel feel . the animation , while it look good overall , be actually horrible upon close inspection -- so horrible , in fact , that it be absolutely hilarious . I mean , usually I have to slow down and pause the movie to see all the hysterically funny individual frame of the character , but in this one , I see amazingly exaggerated , hideous , hilarious thing go right by on the screen , though we be obviously not suppose to notice . a lot of depth be add to certain character in twist ; we meet the King 's much taller queen -lrb- albeit in painting -rrb- , and discover a truly romantic side to the goofy , roly-poly , easily excited and irritated King . the Prince , instead of be a personality-free , rhino-hating , long-eyelashed nobody like he be in ii , be now a really nice , humble , long-eyelashed main character with a really modern and less formal attitude . it be a bit ridiculous , but so be everything else and it make for some great line and expression . what depth there be in this film -- and there be a little more than in ii -- come mostly at the part where Cinderella 's walk aboard the ship to be banish . it be pretty sad . I guess . Cindy also end up have to be kind of tough , escape danger , protect Anastasia from a spell aim at she by she own mother , and foil the diabolical plan of Lady Tremaine involve Anastasia as a ` Twinderella . ' I feel as if they be combine element from other Disney film , like Tarzan , Beauty & the beast , the Lion King , and the little mermaid . I mean , when the King be show Stacy the Kingdom I expect he to warn she against go to the elephant graveyard . since we know Stacy 's go to find true love with a baker , we can see why she be portray sympathetically from the start ; this whole thing be a prelude to the baker thing , ready she . Drizella spend the movie make wisecrack and it seem that she be too greedy and attach to she mum to take the step towards redemption that Stacy have , but she be fully capable of it . it be a bit disturbing to hear Lady Tremaine say `` bibbidi bobbidi boo '' so much , but she do , and Stacy let she talk she into all kind of trickery before get she lesson about true love -lrb- that it be the most powerful kind of magic there be , that she mom do not get it , bla bla . -rrb- she find out she want true love , but she be not go to get it from the Prince , and she wind up refuse to split he up with Cindy . and as the King tell she , `` everyone deserve true love . '' yes indeed . and as the portrait during the credit show , she be go to find that baker some day . and she mom 's still not go to be happy . the humorous part : well , as always the Grand Duke and King be outrageously funny . now , the Prince be pretty funny himself . Lucifer be see in human form , Drizella be a repulsive pig -lrb- in more than one way -- watch she face when tremaine brush she hair , please -rrb- and Stacy be the worst dancer in the world . when Princey be charge to recover Cindy on horseback , I predict that he be go to swim after the ship . but no. . he be throw from the horse and I predict he be go to swim , involuntarily . but no. . he amazingly land on the ship anyway and swing around like a bloody pirate . okay . the movie 's most important lesson be this : you can tell if it be true love by the feeling you get when you touch someone 's hand . I do not know whether to find the whole hand thing cute or silly . ok , the one thing that anger I about twist be the one character I really like from the second one , the one I think save it and make it any good . I be , admittedly , pleasantly shock to see that she would make it into this movie at all . but Holland Taylor 's voice talent be pretty much waste and it be almost as if they should not have include Prudence at all . I mean , she be draw completely differently and look incredibly weird now . she eye be no longer green . she disappear before the movie be half over , and do not interact with anyone but Cindy . she have basically no purpose and be nowhere near as cool as in the second one . I can only say it be neat to see she in the castle before the time of the second movie . additionally she reveal that she be supervise for 30 year , offer a clue to how old she be . but anyway , the best couple by far in Dreams come true be she and the Grand Duke . I do not expect any more character development in twist , after all , it be before the point where she dance with he and we see that she be not exactly as she appear to be . it be just that . . I do not know , I want something more than the absurd scene they give she . it be no coincidence that the King throw she onto the Grand Duke at the royal banquet , in that segment it be pretty obvious in the beginning that he and Prudence like each other and do a bit of flirt . I think we would at least see they together in one of the portrait at the end , as a case of ` true love . ' I certainly do not expect they to be marry and have kid or anything because again , this be before they actually hook up . but , still ... I feel Prue be dreadfully underutilize and do not meet she potential . except for the shameful thing like that , twist be worth a watch or two . +593 Movies_TV POS 5 I purchase this dvd for my college sophmore niece . she like the new Dr. who to the exclusion of all the other Drs. the product be execellent and my niece be very happy . thank you .

Peter Pan come to John and Michael 's nursery once in a while just to see how thing be . he inspire the child to play and imitate Peter Pan and the Captain Hook , and wendy , to keep the story alive . Neverland be any 6 or 7 year old kid 's fantasy world , but ANYONE can relive the glory that be Peter Pan . I do not wanna spend the whole night write this review but I will just say that it hold brilliance ; magic and such and should not be ignore ! get you copy tonight and make the child in you life smile over and over ! favorite character : Peter Pan , Michael , Tinkerbell and the Fox boy . : -rrb- Cover Art : b - inside art : C Story : b + character : a dialogue : b - comic Relief : b - music -lrb- score -rrb- : b + length : a - 4.2 star . overall : b - +634 Movies_TV POS 4 David Tennant be my favorite doctor . how 's that for a starter ? Billie 's not my favorite companion -lrb- that would be Martha Jones from series 3 , though Amy Pond may well take that title -rrb- , but everybody 's love for she be easily understandable . Series 2 come out swinging . it become very clear from the very begin that this doctor be not a patient man , or forgiving . when the doctor give you ` one warn ' , you take it . `` no second chance . '' that come out quite a bit through-out Tennant 's run as the Doctor , he be a fight doctor . if you be a fan of Doctor who , you need this series . if you be not a fan , this be the most likely series to change you mind . +573 Movies_TV NEG 1 I love movie .

Will Smith 's smart-@#% remark be fresh and funny in Independence Day but now they just irritate I . how many time can he play the same stereotypical character ? id like to see he do some serious drama , for he have at time show the ability to do so . this movie just fall flat . Run , jump , watch out theres a helicopter . Yawn . ive see Xfiles episode with similar story line that put this to shame but do it with a small fraction of the budget . what a waste . +183 Movies_TV POS 5 this movie be exciting to watch - full of action and have a fantastically intreging storyline .

Mr. Tennant be a very different Dr. who than Mr. Eccleston . it be fun to watch he make the character he own . we actually watch the first season after the second season , because the quality of the second season be so high . the production value be amazing - every episode be better than most feature film . and we be very curious about Rose and the Doctor 's relationship ; there be obviously a lot of history between they already by the second season , and we just have to know why the doctor trust Rose so much . -lrb- we buy the second season because we like David Tennant in `` Blackpool '' and want to see more of he . -rrb- that say , I do miss Mr. Eccleston 's Dr. who ; he doctor seem to go down a long way . Mr. Tennant 's Doctor be definitely more charming and roguish , but not quite as dark . I be sorry I will not get to know season 1 Doctor who better . last thing : lot of people trash the `` love and monster '' episode , but I have to make a plug for it . I think it be adorable . it be a fun idea - to look at Dr. who through a portrait of he admirer . and of course , it have lot of ELO . ca not go wrong there . +557 Movies_TV NEG 2 my wife and I be big Disney fan and purchase this movie with a lot of anticipation . we be both extremely disappointed . almost all of the character in this film be cruel and unlikeable , include Peter Pan himself . Tinkerbell be nasty and consume with jealousy , completely one-dimensional , and Peter be a shallow , self-absorbed imp . it be hard to imagine anyone -- especially sweet wendy -- like he . even minor character like the mermaid be give a jealous , petty edge . the playful theme that we associate with the Peter Pan tale be almost nowhere to be find in this movie . I can see by all the positive review that my view be in the minority , and that be okay . I really want to like this movie , but could not . I keep hope that Captain Hook -- who have he hand cut off by Peter and feed to a crocodile -lrb- ! -rrb- -- could get ahold of bratty Peter and teach he a lesson . +385 Movies_TV POS 4 enemy of the state may be the best thriller about a innocent man on the run since the movie version of Mission : impossible . admittedly , such movie be largely the same story tell over and over again with differ interpretation , but director Tony Scott 's retelling be one of the most innovative . these movie almost always revolve around a man catch in the grip of some paranoid government agency . this time , it be the audience that need to be paranoid , because if such a situation ever happen in real life , we be all up the creek . what make this one so creepy be the fact that some of the technology depict actually exist . the affable Will Smith play a Washington , DC attorney name Robert Dean . the character be somewhat prone to get himself into hot water , and when he bump into a old school chum , he get some information a federal agency will literally kill to get back . to compound the problem , Dean do not even know he possess such dangerous information . even when it become apparent that some group be after he , as well as he family and friend , he be at first clueless as to what they want and then totally unaware of where what they want be . he be get a definite problem . the people out to get he work for the Federal Information Agency , which have manage to link together all of we telecommunications technology . they can tap any type of digital telephone and pager at will . they can instantly pull up record on any citizen . they have install video camera everywhere and can tap into most private security camera . if necessary , they can follow people almost anywhere by call up any of hundred of satellite spin around Earth . the agency be truly a nightmare come true . what Dean do not know he have be a videotape of a murder . the agency have dispatch a uncooperative congressman and make it look like a accident . the scene be unwittingly record by Dean 's old friend , who , realize what he have and be chase by the bad guy , slip it to Dean moment before he own death . all of this be do at break neck speed . the movie start with a bang , and they keep come until it be over . there be some very fancy camera work and lot of well do special effect . the music be innovative , with a full orchestra play melodically against a intense electronic theme . will Smith seem to be able to do anything . he have be a tv star . he remain a very successful singer . he be star in two huge hit , man in Black and Independence Day . this summer he play in Wild , Wild West . in enemy of the state , however , the limit of he act range be more apparent . it be not because this be any more serious than he other film , but because he be play against two act giant , Gene Hackman and Jon Voight . Voight be truly menacing as Thomas Reynolds , the man in the agency behind the murder . Hackman be superb as Edward Lyle , the technological master who be Dean 's one chance of survival . not only have these two be make movie since before Smith be bear , they both receive Academy award nomination when they be about he age .

Hackman do a good performance , within the limit he have . Smith float on he name . have to mention that the first copy I get from Amacon.com do not work and when I tell they they send I a new copy the same day with express mail ! no extra cost . two thumb up for Amazon.com ! +737 Movies_TV POS 5 ... then you will love this dvd set ! trace the beginning of the Torchwood institute , the grow relationship of Rose and the Doctor , and the near annihilation of the world , this season of the show be intense yet witty , entertaining yet thought-provoking , charming yet unsettling -- all of the thing we expect from Doctor who ! +501 Movies_TV POS 4 I watch Cinderlla 3 last night . there be a lot of hype surround the film , but I think it be pretty good . the first Cinderella - the timeless classic - attract audience of all age . as we already know , the story be perfect and have the ultimate culmination : '' ... but I have the other slipper ... '' the second Cinderella be just three mini-story weave together to make a hour and a half movie . the story be best suit for child under age 9 . -lrb- these be the kind of featurette that would appear on a Saturday morning cartoon series , for example - the plot be simple , the dialogue be pretty cheesy , and nothing be really accomplish at the end . -rrb- Cinderella 3 obviously do not compare to the classic first , but in all truth , it be a legitimate film that will extract all the emotion you have pull from the first film . on that topic , however , the level of `` emotion pull '' have change , probably in a attempt to keep the movie viable in today 's market . for one , the wicked step-mother be now about ten time more wicked . the first movie play she as a cold antagonist with a more slithery approach to she wickedness . in Cinderella 3 , that same step-mom now conduct open act of evil -lrb- and only a few slithery action -rrb- . why be that important ? because a overwhelmingly evil step-mother dwarf the emotion of feeling sorry for Cinderella . in the classic film , one could not help but feel so terrible for poor Cinderella as she work so hard and be not reward . now , Cinderella be punish for be nice . this change the whole concept of the `` Cinderella Story . '' now you just want that old haggard step-mom to get drug from the back of a horse-drawn pumpkin carriage - you could care less if Cinderella win the prince back or live happily ever after . that be , the irony that be bind to happen -lrb- good defeat evil in a Disney film -rrb- be not as spectacularly fantastic as the classic film when Cinderella produce the second , miss slipper . the irony of Cinderella 3 be that the step-mom merely get she comeuppance . but this movie also play on the personality and feeling of Anastasia , which I generally find kind of weird . it separate she from drizzellum which to I be awkward . I appreciate the dueling sister who only act in concert to harm Cinderella 's interest . now the movie pull out the possible good in one of the three main antagonist . Cinderella 2 explore this the most , however , but I think it be brutally do . basically , Anastasia be a `` good trapped inside '' dumb-dumb , as one would be leave to think . Anastasia basically want thing but do not know how to get they , but somehow manage in the end , usually from revelation or help from Cinderella . sure , that make Cinderella seem even more like the saint that she be for help she sister -lrb- who apparently still hate Cinderella , even when she help -rrb- . but it draw so much focus away from we one true star : the lady who go from rag to riches and define a brand new storyline for other to coin or imitate . to give Cinderella 3 a side credit , albeit minor , be that it `` follow the rule . '' namely , the rule regard `` bippity boppity boo , '' magic , and the animal and they interaction . the talk mouse , the effect of the magic on the animal , and the history of each character -lrb- include whatever may have be grotesquely alter in Cinderella 2 with lucifer fall in love , Anastasia desire and find love , or Cinderella be conflict with she new title in royalty -rrb- make amends for Cinderella 2 's near-fatal depiction . that be a hard challenge , but these Disney movie-maker get it right in Cinderella 3 . to close , Cinderella 3 be best suit for child age 12 or under per my review . it will not reach out to the heart of ad ult like the original classic do , and it will not draw the emotion you would expect from the classic Cinderella Story that Disney found back in the day . due to its simple storyline and re-focus of character ' significance and portrayal in the film , I can only recommend this film if you child actually like -lrb- or be entertain by -rrb- Cinderella 2 , or if he\/she really still love the character since his\/her last viewing of the original Cinderella . do not expect much from Cinderella 3 -lrb- especially its replay value -rrb- so that when you do watch it , you will not be disappoint when you compare it to the monumental classic . +188 Movies_TV POS 5 I love this movie as child , love the ride at Disneyland , and love this special dvd set ! +261 Movies_TV POS 5 Series 2 of dw be my favorite of the `` New who '' . I catch a episode from this season on BBC America back in March and instantly feel in love with the show . David Tennant be beyond brilliant , and Billie Piper be a great companion for the doctor . there be some definite miss in my opinion , like Love and Monsters , but that do not take away from this wonderful series at all . doomsday break my heart . +611 Movies_TV POS 5 this be a classy second series of the `` new '' Doctor who with new boy David Tennant in the title role . he be a excellent doctor , well support by Billie Piper as Rose -lrb- they make a really good team -rrb- . the story line in this series be , in the main , superb -lrb- I particularly like ` the Satan pit ' -rrb- and feature first class special effect . some old friend make a welcome return too . I be glad to see that this series go from strength to strength - highly recommend and great entertainment ! +82 Movies_TV NEG 1 when this movie be release , the `` Evil Right wing '' Republicans be so blantantly portray as facist that they be almost parody . no more after the horror of Sept 11th -lrb- I be a survivor -rrb- , it be Will Smith 's wife -lrb- the wonderful ACLU Attorney -rrb- who it turn out be the characature . when she just brush off a republican Senator state on Larry King that there be 1000s of foreign nationial in america who hate the USA . she call he a facist ... what would she say now ?? I guess that would depend on if she have a loved kill in the Sept 11 attack . Afterall , ACLU lawyer seem to have the conscience of serial killer when it be innoncent man woman and child kiil who be no relation to they . but nevertheless , this movie be too disturbing to watch now that the real world have overshadow the liberal elite version of the world . +184 Movies_TV POS 5 my 2 year old grandson love this classic movie . he like to pretend he be fly with he toy plane . the movie be deliver quick and completely protect . I will buy from this seller soon . aac +48 Movies_TV POS 5 there be many many movie that use the image of PETER PAN , but the DISNEY animation be by far the best one !!!! WOW ! this movie be great ... like most of the DISNEY animation , i recommend this classic to everyone !!!! +583 Movies_TV POS 4 I be certainly one of those people who take the advent of direct to video\/dvd sequel of the classic Disney film as yet another nail in the coffin of american popular culture . however , I have to admit that I have be pleasantly surprise by some of the most recent offering in this corporate enterprise , most notably `` Bambi II , '' which be most certainly not a embarrassment compare to the original . as a general rule of thumb I have find Disney 's sequel to be at least a star less than the original , and that be the case with `` Cinderella III : A twist in Time , '' which have the virtue of be a thought provoke critique on the original 1950 Disney animated feature film that would actually be worth discuss with kid after they have see it . I do not see `` Cinderella II : dream come true , '' but that do not seem to be any impediment to skip that sequel for this one . what be important be that you have see the original . the twist here be suppose to `` what if the slipper do not fit ? '' but that be not at all what happen here . Anastasia , one of Cinderella 's stepsister , be depressed because of all the happy ever after that be go on without she when she stumble across Cinderella 's Fairy Godmother and learn that it be the result of magic . the next thing we know Cinderella 's evil stepmother have the Fairy Godmother 's magic wand in she possession and to get revenge she turn back the hand of time to the moment when the Grand Duke show up at the front door with the glass slipper . before Cinderella come down the stair the evil stepmother use the magic wand to make Anastasia 's foot fit the slipper , so it never get to the point where the slipper do not fit Cinderella . in the original tell of Cinderella the slipper be make of glass because in she effort to have it fit she the large foot of she daughter the evil stepmother have one but off a toe and the other a heel . since it be a glass slipper everyone could see all the blood . that be never go to make it into a Disney version , but the original `` Cinderella '' make nice use of the glass slipper in a different way when the evil stepmother break the one the Duke have be cart around the kingdom . this set up my favorite moment in the original , which be when we young heroine reach into she pocket and produce the other glass slipper . `` Cinderella III '' follow up on that in a nice way when once again one of the glass slipper get break . as the King explain to the Prince , loving someone have to be base on more than `` they choice in transparent footwear , '' and that line be central to how `` Cinderella III : A twist in Time '' ask its young audience to go beyond the original fairy tale . even in a time when shoe be make individually to fit someone 's foot instead of be mass produce , the glass slipper be go to fit more than one person . so as the Prince learn , pick a bride because the shoe proverbially fit be not the best way to live happily ever after . meanwhile , the evil stepmother learn that there be some thing more powerful than magic . I also see this version as be influence by `` ever after : a Cinderella Story '' in that one of the evil stepsister be not as bad as the other -lrb- and I be also happy to see that the first painting in the end credit answer the question I have about Anastasia 's fate -rrb- . the net result be a interesting re-examination of some of the assumption of the original tale within the framework of that original movie and without resort to a `` modern '' re-telling of the tale . so I think most viewer will be pleasantly surprise with what they find here . the level of the animation here be not up to the level of a theatrical release , which be hardly surprising -lrb- `` Bambi II '' be a exception , but they clearly have to up they game with that one -rrb- . the song this time around be fine , but while Gus , Jac and two of the bluebird be back the female mouse from the originally be strangely miss -lrb- I have like high pitched singing mouse from `` Cinderella '' through `` Babe '' to today -rrb- . in term of special feature on this dvd there be a music video feature Hayden Panettiere -lrb- best know now as the cheerleader from `` hero '' -rrb- and look at another musical variation similar to this Cinderella theme do for a Disney cruise ship . in term of game and activity there be the Bidbidi-Bobbidi Game where you get a chance to `` grab the Fairy Godmother 's wand and make some magic of you own , '' and Cinderella 's ballroom , where you get to dance to the Princess Jukebox , choreograph you own ballroom dance , and even use you own photo to turn yourself into a princess -lrb- in other word , some of these be dvd-rom feature -rrb- . +104 Movies_TV POS 5 I rent this dvd from the library to see if I would like it or not . I definitely do ! I generally have a hard time get into work out if there be not music or dancing involve . I have a background in dance and know how great of a workout it be , so other type of exercise seem like a bear to I . this workout keep I interested . I start sweating about 7-10 minute into the video . it be really great cardio , but I could feel my thigh , ab and arm get a great workout , too . some of the step be very fast , but it be fun if you just let go and do not think about how you look do the move . the cool-down be probably my favorite part though = -rrb- it be very relaxing ! word of caution : there be a lot of jump in this workout . if you do not have good knee or ankle , I would just try to do a lower impact move in place of the hop . I be a petite girl and my ankle even crack a few time -lrb- but I know this be normal for I -rrb- . +909 Movies_TV POS 5 Will Smith be just great ! the technology that the terrorist use be so awesome !! everyone should own a copy of this great film ! +376 Movies_TV POS 5 it be a stir movie . all the technology they use in the movie be out of this world . be we government really do this , yes I believe so . but over all it be good . +162 Movies_TV NEU 3 the great thing about this video be there be three dancer in which you can easily see they movement , the set be lively while also be simple enough to not be overwhelming . Hemalayaa be also a advocate of have fun and seem to be less rigid in the structuring of she routine . on the down side , sometimes I feel like it be just three girlfriend get together to dance around , esp as hemalayaa herself seem like a free spirit . there be alot of `` head shake '' as part of the exercise\/routing -lrb- throw back the head and shake it vigorously -rrb- and a squat and roll out of the spine ... these be bearable ... but they keep pop up for the first 5-7 minute after the warmup which seem to break the dance\/exercise portion and really break the mood with some kind of child like `` let 's call this dancing '' . then one of the first series of footwork have you turn in a awkward circle in which the step be not clearly break down , nor could you really watch and perform the step , as you be to be move in the circle . this may be okay for experienced dancer or video exercise , but for novice , it would seem to be quite frustrating . overall , there be too many circle movement -lrb- turn around with the intire body -rrb- ... but this be one of the better bollywood exercise dvd 's I have see . +824 Movies_TV POS 5 most movie get cheesier and cheesier as the sequal continue to grow but this movie -lrb- Cinderella III -rrb- be absolutely adorable and not really cheesy at all !! the character look the exact same , talk the same , and the only thing I could even begin to criticize be that Anastasia 's demeanor be better in this one . but the movie be awesome and if you be a true Cinderella fan , you have to watch Cinderella III . -lrb- : +809 Movies_TV POS 5 I order Peter Pan and I get it fast and in tip top shape .

I have always have a fascination with this story . as a kid I remember check the Disney picture book version out of the library week after week . when I finally get to see it , I be enthral . there be just something magical about the story . it be partially the come together of all the boyhood adventure in one place . Mermaids , Indians , and Pirates ? what more could any boy want ? and , of course , the ability to fly . the `` you can fly '' sequence over London be one of my all time favorite . the whole movie really be animated very well with a story that movie quickly from place to place with lot of humor to keep everyone entertain and gorgeous animation of the fanciful never land . this special edition be worth track down . the picture -lrb- original full frame -rrb- be sharp and the surround sound be very nice . extra include a documentary on the making of the movie and a promotional theatrical featurette from the original release . the `` audio commentary '' be unique . host by Roy Disney , it consist of selection from interview of the voice talent , live action model , animator , and animation historian . while not you usual commentary , it be fascinating stuff and well worth a listen . finally , there be a treasure hunt game and dvd storybook for kid . this movie still bring a smile to my face and probably always will . maybe my friend be right when they say I love this movie so much because I always want to be Peter Pan . +860 Movies_TV POS 5 this be a great series . for anyone who love scifus , I would highly recomend it .

I will not say more as I would not want to spoil the suspense . the thing about this movie be it seem so terrifyingly real . they show throughout the film , the tracking system use -lrb- satellite and high end computer program -rrb- .

Neverland be a invite place for the darling child , until they meet the wicked Captain Hook . can Peter save they from he sinister plan ? can he save himself ? a great film ! +437 Movies_TV POS 5 my daughter keep ask and ask for this so we finally cave . she love it ! the story be cute and keep you interested . my 2 1\/2 year old and 8 year old both enjoy it . it be become a family favorite . +303 Movies_TV POS 4 this be a smart movie that live on the premise big Brother be watch Us . this movie make a statement about we society . that be the lack of privacy we have as american . I would hope all movie could make some sort of statement such as that . the plot be what make this movie a winner . except for a unsatisfying ending , I like this film . +369 Movies_TV POS 4 Peter Pan be a very clever and well-thought out Disney film . I have always enjoy this film but part be a bit slow so I can not give this classic a perfect rating . Peter Pan and Tinkerbell be pure magic , love he childlike spunk and she stubborn atttitude ! Great family flick , enjoy . +636 Movies_TV POS 4 enemy of the state have fast pace and great actor -lrb- will Smith , the great gene Heckman and Lisa Bonnet in a too short appearance -rrb- . the film also have lot of electronic gimmick -lrb- satellite surveillance be the thing here with lot of satellite visual and close up ... -rrb- ; there be also some clever action . all in all I have to admit it be quite interesting to watch and you do remain hooked to the screen . however , the plot be corny and banal and I can not help but wonder - what about some new story line ... ? how many time can we see a movie that have the follow tale : a innocent regular citizen -lrb- one who have some unique quality like be a computer genius , especially clever , etc. -rrb- get catch in a corrupt scheme that originate from someplace high in power -lrb- be it some high government office , national security force , etc. -rrb- . we innocent hero 's life be shatter and he find himself on the run fight a unknown enemy equip with all the modern electronic equipment . we innocent hero have only himself to count on and sometimes some unexpected help . step by step he start to understand what happen and to uncover the big scheme ... we hero succeed after go through a ordeal -lrb- miraculously save he life time and again -rrb- and return to normal life . this be more or less the story line of `` enemy of the state '' and can be also attribute to many other movie . `` the Pelican brief '' , `` Bourne Identity '' , `` the net '' `` no way out '' would be name just a few . by scare you with all the way the government can monitor the little citizen 's behavior -lrb- or supposedly monitor - it be hard to believe they can do all that be portray -rrb- the movie be also try to make a statement about privacy . this be spoon fed to you mouth by have the privacy law as one of the political issue of the movie . +651 Movies_TV POS 4 this workout be a great way to make you feel sexy , even if you -lrb- like I -rrb- do not feel sexy most of the time ! most of the move be easy to follow , and yet I still work up a good sweat at the same time . the only part I have trouble keep up with be the `` playful Dance '' portion . the music be also fabulous and have a good beat . +411 Movies_TV POS 4 Peter Pan be a old classic and I know my daugher ,4 year old , would love it . ever since we read the book , she be talk about she `` hero '' . the animation be typical Disney - good , now once again powerful and colorful . there be a couple of scarry part with Captain Hook , cannon ball and crocodile which do not upset my daughter , but some child might get frighten by they . of course one should not get too deep into psychological aspect of the story -lrb- Peter Pan the boy that do not want to grow up -rrb- or analyze sexual stereotype -lrb- wendy be automatically the `` mommy '' that will read story , but never defend herself or other against Hook and he crew -rrb- . it be a old Disney production , and it should be view and enjoy as such . +745 Movies_TV POS 5 the film pull no punch . this have to be close to the finest film will Smith have ever make , and it be hard to see why it do not do a lot better at the box office . if anything , its even more relevant than the day it be release . none of the technology be fictional , -lrb- despite some comment -rrb- it be all in deployment right now . ironically , since the enactment of the patriot act in the USA , and the second act more recently , this film have assume a quite weirdly prophetic status . many comment recently make about the change character about America -lrb- see Tim Robbins recent address to the National Press club -rrb- be very to the point here and can not be ignore . it be so easy to see that people like Jerry Falwell be now come very close to issue the kind of frightening rhetoric see in this film - art have meet the horizon of reality all too quickly . perhaps though , the film 's single most biting comment be on the nature of the lobby system and the problem of the separation of judicial and executive power in the USA , which if anything be far more malefidious and dangerous than what the film depict . but , sufficient to say , all this be nothing compare with Hackmans gem of a performance of terse and cranky sainthood . he excel at the hero - put everything into he character . this only give the film more authenticity and a really hard edge . i just can not fault this movie . the end be so good , it be impossible really , but there can be no end of sofa be thump way out there in suburbia and enthusiastic whoop . there be no doubt this film absolutely deserve such . +966 Movies_TV POS 4 this be what I like about Will Smith . he can make many situation funny and\/or sad at the same time . this high-tech thriller be all about break the Bill of Rights . obstruction of Privacy . something that can haunt anyone . this turn that haunt into reality . this be undoubtedly one of Will Smith 's best performance . although I would have to tie it up with mib or Indepentence Day . Gene Hackman give a rather admirable performance . this movie show the high technology that might be surround the Earth . with today 's picture and live movie that be available on the Internet make this movie very believable . +index Domain Label Rating Review +68 Movies_TV POS 4 buy this go fine . however , I be not ask to review my interaction that fail . I try to buy something through Amazon store and the Amazon website site would not let I choose two item from the same store . it be completely out of control . I want to do this to get a shipping discount . I submit a comment and never hear back from Amazon . Amazon lose my business on that one . anyone there want to get back to I ? anyone there care ? +541 Movies_TV POS 5 the day my dad buy I this tape back in April 1993 , I instantly fall in-love with it . and while it be only the third addition to my Disney collection back then -lrb- follow `` the little mermaid '' & `` Beauty and the beast '' -rrb- , today , have over 20 Disney film in my library , it still remain one of my favorite Disney movie ever . I love everything about this film , but mostly the glossy animation . it remind I of that in `` Cinderella '' . very pristine , very detailed , amazing color . equally important , the character be very appealing , especially Tinker-Bell and the evil-yet-hilarious Captain Hook . wendy be also a great character , draw very beautifully . the story of `` Peter Pan '' have always interested I , and therefore I have high expectation upon watch this movie for the first time . I remember watch it with my sister ; we be totally blow away by it . it be easily a classic in a league of its own . +182 Movies_TV POS 5 cute little twist to the original Cinderella . most of the time sequel be not my favorite . but disney do a good job on this one . I say thumb up ! +936 Movies_TV POS 5 David Tennant be the most human doctor to date . he sympathy for the human race make he the most enjoyable doctor yet . this set be perfect for ANY die-hard Doctor who fan out there ! +960 Movies_TV POS 5 let I start off by say I have never previously like any of the Doctor-Who series outside of the Tom Baker episode . the US try to do a new version of Doctor-Who year ago and it be awful . I do not expect this new attempt at bring Doctor-Who back to be any better , but from the very first episode be really impressed with not only the production value , but the character and story themselves . when so soon , they already change the doctor to a new actor only in the second series , I be again prepare for a let down , but I actually like this doctor better , and he seem to have a little bit of `` Tom Baker '' personality that come out too . I be really enjoy this second series set , when I come across the double episode story `` Army of Ghosts '' and `` Doomsday '' which be the two last episode on this set , but really a two-parter of the same story . these two episode , be the best doctor-who episode of all time , in my opinion , and remember , I be a Tom Baker fanatic . there be three reason I make this the most amazing Doctor-Who episode off all time , -lrb- to date -rrb- but I will not mention the first reason , because that would ruin the surprise for those that have not see the episode and give away something that be more enjoyable to find out when watch for the first time . the second reason would be the great production value , it stand up with any major production motion picture make for theater , and this be for only a television series ? wow ! the third reason be the emotional feeling I go through after watch this last episode on this set . I have never go through anything like that ever from watch Doctor-Who . I have to admit , I like Billie Piper as the Doctor 's companion , -lrb- and the only other companion I have like since Romana -rrb- but since she be mostly know prior as just a teen pop star -lrb- like the UK 's version of Britney Spears -rrb- I do not expect she act ability to do what she do in `` Doomsday '' the last episode in this second series set . I be very impressed . see that Series three -lrb- not yet available to I as of this review -rrb- have a new companion for the Doctor , I be again hessitant that I will like it , but will have to see . however , even if you be a die hard Tom Baker fan , I think you will find this second series of `` Doctor-Who the next generation '' to be one you will not be disappoint with and really will enjoy ! especially the last two episode on this set !! +150 Movies_TV POS 5 I really like this movie , its different from the traditional Cinderella story spoiler alert : the evil stepmother get fairy godmother 's wand & then ... well go watch the movie & find out : -rrb- +693 Movies_TV POS 5 the second series be great ! as hardcore Dr. who fan , my son and I enjoy every episode , particularly the one with the Cybermen and Daleks . one nice aspect of Dr. who be that it be appropriate for all age . +22 Movies_TV POS 5 my whole family love this movie . everyone be glue to the tv especially I since I have not see it for year . +116 Movies_TV NEG 2 this be so boring . it be the same plot that we have see a hundred time . Guy stumble on to something he should not have , government make he life hell . running , run , run . Blah Blah Blah . you have see it before with other title , do not bother to see it again unless you just enjoy watch Will Smith . +704 Movies_TV POS 4 the Disney people be awfully talented , but they sure be not lead the political correctness parade ! there be definitely some egregious sexist plot device and racially insulting uttering here that make this film seem date , but it be difficult not to enjoy the great plot , wonderful song and excellent direction . Captain Hook be a colorful villain , Tinkerbell rock , and some of the scene just take you breath away -- fly over London on the way to Neverland and we first sight of the island , for example . the dvd edition be disappointing . you can listen to the film in English or French , and that be about it -- no subtitle , no storyboard , no voiceover , no extra at all . for the price , you might want to buy the VHS edition instead . I believe there be a new dvd edition with extra and that may be more worthwhile . this would be a less expensive alternative if you just want a copy for kid ' viewing , perhaps . if watch with child , you should also be prepare to discuss why we do not use the term ` redskin ' and ` injun ' anymore . recommend with reservation . +915 Movies_TV NEG 1 Pretty decent movie , fast pace , keep you interest . however , this be not a widescreen anamorphic dvd . instead , it be a inferior , old-tech letterboxed edition . in other word , you can still see it correctly in you widescreen tv , but with a magnify setting ; therefore , you lose vertical resolution . do not buy this inferior-quality product . +700 Movies_TV POS 4 well , I will start off by say that this film be absolutely nothing at all like the book . the adventure , the end , the nature of the island , all be completely different . as a matter of fact , I read that this movie contain none of the dialogue from Barrie 's novel . the only thing that stay the same be the cast of character and the fact that they even visit Neverland . but if you take it as a story of it be own , it be a good movie . it be make in the day when child laugh at funny song , not bodily function , and therefore be comfortable to watch . the movie be sprinkle with several slapstick instance with Captain Hook and classic Disney song like ` follow the Leader ' and ` you can fly ' . the only problem I truly have with this movie be that they censor Tinker Bell 's near-death experience , but apparently that be include in the dvd version -lrb- which I have not see yet -rrb- . also , tootle -lrb- who be dress like the skunk -rrb- do not say a word , while he be pretty much the main lose boy in the novel . other than these few flaw , I think this be a classic child 's movie , and one worthy of view . P.S. check out the other Peter pan-related review by Tinkerbell III ! +934 Movies_TV POS 5 if you be consider buy Doctor who on dvd then I do not need to tell you how awesome the show be . my review be 5 star base solely on the extra , which include the Children in Need special minisode which give a bit more info on the regeneration process for new viewer and include Rose 's awesome reaction to nine turn into ten . when watch this show for the first time on bbc-america , this part be never air , and I have to go hunting online for it . now it be right here on the dvd - on the first disc in the Extras\/Special feature section , so you can watch it and then do not even need to change the disc to start in on Series 2 . thanks BBC !!!!!!!!!!! +388 Movies_TV POS 5 I be really surprise at how fast I receive my movie and I be very happy that it come nicely package without any damages . +589 Movies_TV POS 5 one of my favorite season , David Tennant be just brilliant in this season ! the story be fun and really enjoyable . I be hook by the end of the first season but this season make I really fall in love with Doctor who entirely ! I have love all the doctor , but David Tennant will always be my favorite . +397 Movies_TV POS 5 Will Smith and Gene Hackman star in this wonderfully do thriller about a dc labor lawyer whose life be threaten by the aftermath of a politically motivated murder . Jon Voight play Thomas Reynolds , the man responsible for the death of a congressman strongly oppose a new privacy bill be deliberate over by congress . the killing be accidentaly record onto a environmental study that be force into the hand of Robert Clayton Dean -lrb- Smith -rrb- . Smith 's life begin to fall apart as the state department attempt to recover the tape and eliminate those who know about the murder . the act in the movie be superb . Voight , Hackman , and Smith play they part to perfection , make they action more understandable and believable . the action in the movie be equally impressive . last scene not withstand , the movie doesnt rely on heavy gunfire to capture the audience , although there be a good amount . the film really shine in its tense chase sequence and its smart dialogue , both of which be perfectly execute . enemy of the state be a great movie . with its impressive action and intelligent dialogue you will be on the edge of you seat from begin to end . +543 Movies_TV POS 4 this movie be great , it have action , act , and a great cast . the only problem i have with the movie be the end which be still good but a let down . smith do a great job , same for gene hackman . this be definitly buyable quality . +779 Movies_TV POS 5 from the first time I see this feature back in the '50s , I have love it most of all ... there be so much here that be reminiscent of the Golden Times of childhood , what a special time it be and how fleeting ... the idea that one can choose not to grow up at all , but live as a perennial child in a place of beauty , some danger , although not real danger , just enough to keep thing interesting , and adventure and wonderful spot throughout the island to visit , be a universally appeal one . the music be perfectly suit to this vision of halcyon day go by , from the favorite `` I can fly '' to `` the Pirate song '' to `` what make the Red Man Red '' to the Lullaby that Wendy sing to the lose boy , it be just wonderfully evocative and capture the mood of each moment perfectly . the opening shot that slowly zoom in to the darling house be fabulous , as be the extraordinary detail of the house itself ; I notice something different every time I see it . the animator build a exact miniature of the house down to the smallest detail and fixture , etc , to aid they in they drawing , and this attention to detail and quality be very apparent throughout . the voice , from Bobby Driscoll as Peter to Kathryn Beaumont as Wendy be wonderfully voice , very believable without be cloying or self conscious , real kid have real adventure . the color be so various and rich it stun the eye , as do the shot of the island of never never land , the first time we see it , from high above , the Pirate Ship anchor in the harbor , Mermaid lagoon , the indian Camp , etc , it be so beautiful and amazing that they -lrb- the animator -rrb- be so astute in they picture of a child 's fantasy , they own island of adventure . the interaction between Captain Hook and the Crocodile be very funny , as be the byplay with hook and Smee , the bumble , endearing servant to the Captain . Tinker Bell be great as the jealous , somewhat snippy fairy who accompany Pan wherever he go and display loyalty of the first order , be willing to sacrifice she life for he . I also love the animal outfit wear with great joy by the lose boy , who be a fascinating group in they own right . despite all the fun and adventure , the darling child opt to return to they own home and pan oblige they in yet another visually stunning scene when Tinkerbell transform the Pirate Ship into a thing of beauty by shower it completely with golden fairy dust . when they have be safely deposit back into they room , the Darlings return from they party just in time to see Peter sailing across the night sky in the wonderful Pirate Ship , which travel across the moon on a sea of cloud ... wendy , Mr. and Mrs. Darling watch from the Nursery window , and we leave they there , a family , happy and unite in they wonderment , the adult and the child , together in they memory of a wonderful chapter of Youth Eternal , as all remember they own experience with Peter Pan , the boy of Youth and Joy forever . +241 Movies_TV POS 5 Cinderella III can not be find in store anywhere anymore . we find this item on Amazon and purchase it for we little one . she have a friend that let she borrow it to watch but of course want it back . she be only 3 so do not completely understand the concept of borrowing . we look everywhere and could not find this movie . finally , I look here and be so excited to see that I could purchase it . the seller be wanderful . it arrive right on time and be brand new just as state in the product description . +566 Movies_TV POS 5 I really like series 1 of -lrb- the new -rrb- Dr. who , but like this series -lrb- series 2 -rrb- just as much . the new doctor make for a different experience , but it be a very good one . some of the plot be simple -lrb- but still original -rrb- ; those episode be enjoyable . other have more complex plot - some really , really original I must say - and be excellent . a good variety to be sure . the Cybermen and Daliks appear in this series - they be really something . a little cheesy , but still great at the same time - maybe because they be a little cheesy . believe it or not , Satan make a appearance as well in this series . I be sorry that the Rose character will not continue into series 3 , as she and the Doctor go well together . the current doctor will continue which be good . it seem that Jackie -lrb- Rose 's mother and a great character -rrb- will not either , nor will Mickey - I will not explain or that will ruin the last episode of the series for you . the last scene with Rose and the doctor be touch and well do . I wonder who will run around with the doctor in series 3 and what adventure they will have . I 'll soon see I guess . I suggest you take a look . +784 Movies_TV POS 5 I order it , it ship the next day and I get it the follow day . after have trouble with a previous Peter Pan I buy , this be a breath of fresh air ! thank you ! +279 Movies_TV NEU 3 season one of the show in reincarnated form be not bad . the older doctor have a air of experience and wisdom . season two 's younger version of the doctor seem to lack that . the actor have he own humor and twist to the character . we 'll have to see how the season and series progress with he in the role . +278 Movies_TV NEU 3 it be SAD that DISNEY have become the MULTIZILLION DOLLAR INSTITUTION that it have . if it be still under the WATCHFUL CARING EYES of WALT DISNEY HIMSELF , I do not THINK the dvd version of THIS movie I just purchase WOULD be the same . the movie of COURSE be as great as it always was - a wonder of ARTISTRY & FANTASY SEAMLESSLY blend together . the color be as beautiful as ever . the SOUND be O.K. , BUT I would THINK that DISNEY COULD DO SOMETHING in the way of restoration as far as the HISS that be very noticeable - especially in the louder passage . i ALSO AM no DUMMY when it come to GENERAL dvd knowledge , but I be totally confused look at the back of the dvd case as to WHETHER THIS MOVIE WAS A WIDESCREEN VERSION or FULL SCREEN . it clearly state in miniscule letter under the run time that PETER PAN be PRESENTED in ITS ORIGINAL THEATRICAL ASPECT RATIO , APPROX . 1.33:1 . I -lrb- and probably anyone else besides ROGER EBERT -rrb- WOULD GUESS that this mean it appear as it be originally show in THEATRES - WIDESCREEN ! I be more than tick to find LATER that it be in fact a pan and scan version , and after pay not a SMALL SUM of MONEY , I feel a little rooked . my suggestion be to keep watch that WORN OUT VHS COPY UNTIL DISNEY decide to invest a little more in one of their crown achievement . oh and do not WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT that LIMITED ISSUE NONSENSE MEANING that THEY ONLY MANUFACTURE EACH MOVIE TITLE ON A LIMITED NUMBER RUN ONLY once per generation -lrb- with DISNEY , GENERATIONS be BORN QUITE OFTEN -rrb- . right now , THEY OBVIOUSLY be have a gigantic case of TIGHTWADITIS and YET be still pricing THEIR TITLES WELL above OTHER studio . sad , sad , sad ! i ONLY HOPE WE all can see this movie in ITS FULL WIDESCREEN GLORY and SOUND SOON ! PETER PAN in ITSELF be still magical ! +180 Movies_TV POS 4 I do love Tinkerbell , one of my all time favorite Disney character & the music be great . a few thing could have be change , but not much . +349 Movies_TV POS 4 I know that be heresy , but I do not care . the original `` Cinderella '' may be a classic , but I never care for it . I acknowledge the beauty of the animation and the quality of the song , but I find it nearly impossible to root for the frustratingly passive title character . which be why I like this sequel . Cinderella finally come into she own as a smart , resourceful heroine . she take she fate into she own hand , and stand up to she evil stepmother instead of allow the old rhymes-with-witch to bully she . this be the Cinderella I have always want to see ! while many have grumble over the transformation of Cinderella 's stepsister Anastasia , I like it . I find it believable and quite touching . while she sister drizellum remain hateful , Anastasia show that , underneath it all , she be really a decent person , who wish to be love for she own self , however clumsy and goofy that self may be . +586 Movies_TV POS 5 Disney 's Peter Pan have be put `` in the vault '' , therefore be not available in the store until they re-release it on blu-ray in the come year . so happy to find it here on Amazon at a reasonable price and shipping be quick ! +294 Movies_TV POS 5 I purchase this dvd for my niece . it be a excellent value . order be very easy and the dvd arrive in a timely manner . excellent ! +985 Movies_TV POS 5 my one year old and Husband have watch this movie together several time ... it be a great movie classic that be just as enjoyable to watch now as it be to watch when we be little ... the part with peter chase he shadow be funny due that we one year old be always do this . +290 Movies_TV NEG 1 I want my 5 yr . old twin grandson to be able to see what a great movie Peter Pan . they love it ! +253 Movies_TV NEG 2 I would have give this a single star -lrb- or none if possible -rrb- except for a few redeeming quality . before I rant , I 'll admit that it be not - all - bad . first , I like Peter 's voice , it capture he spirit very well . second , I like John and Michael , very cute . third , I like Nana . that be all I like . okay , first of all , this movie be NOTHING like the story ! the only similarity be the fact that there be a Peter , a wendy , mermaid , Hook , etc , but none of they seem to have the same personality as in the book ! wendy be horribly annoying in the movie , and only slightly so in the book . Tinkerbell be portray pretty well in this version -lrb- spiteful and jealous of wendy -rrb- but they skip the fact that she mend they difference . in the movie , Peter be a fairly normal type of boy . in the book , he be wonderful , cocky , strong , and smart . the lose boy be just very different in the book . in the movie , they be cartoony , stupid , and slow , unlike the book . I agree that the portrayal of the redman be sort of incorrect in the movie , but it be not so different in the book . there be respect in both , although I think the visual be slightly insulting . hook be also very ugly in the movie , and describe as very cold and attractive in the book . overall , it just insult I how unlike the book it be . if you love the book , do not inch near this movie . if you have not read it , then proceed to this movie ... at you own risk !!! +292 Movies_TV POS 4 the plot be excellent , gene hackman and will smith be excellent but one thing that get I extremely aggravate be the innaccurate portrayal of the NSA and they agent , especially the agent , I mean who on earth be gonna believe seth green jack black and all those actor from go in 60 seconds and save private ryan be real nsa agent , they acting be so off and i could never for a second believe any of they have the intelligence nor the ability to work for any federal agency other than the post office . if you be gonna choose bad guy , choose bad guy that we can believe be truely bad not just dim-witted . +703 Movies_TV POS 4 the relevance of this film be strikingly frightening today . the unsuspecting John Q Public -lrb- Will Smith -rrb- be on the run , even strip down to he boxer to symbolize the insecurity of the average amercian by the ever-intrusive government swear to uphold we ineffective Constitutional Rights ; highlight modern technology go rampant under the guise of protect we supposedly inherent natural rights . the right to privacy be trample on by NSA agent -lrb- portray as young prying clown -rrb- under the command of a nefarious reptile play to a t by Jon Voight . the player in the system of illusory rights hound John Q Public since he unknowingly carry on he evidence of a congressman 's death and it be at this point where thing slowly unfold for the naive citizen as he be relentlessly chase by big Brother via satellite , ATM and tunnel camera , cell phone signal tracking , bug , etc. hit home the film 's point : privacy be a thing of the past . it even point out that a natural serene pond view of goose be not a safe place for some privacy . the film gain steam midway as a paranoidal ex-nsa agent , Brill -lrb- Hackman -rrb- literally knock some sense into John Q and show he the painful truth ; the truth that Joe Blow easily dismiss during a scene earlier into the movie . release almost 3 year prior to 9\/11 , `` enemy of the state '' bombard the sens with quick editing , hyper-action , and loud jolt of sound as if to say , `` wake up ! '' Orwell have be roll in he grave for some time now . one reviewer point out Brill 's birthday of 9\/11 in a quick flash scene . if only this be a coincidence and not a confirm nod to those who be privy numerologist , but consider the studio which release this film it should be of no surprise . so sit back , crack open a can of soda and pop open a bag of popcorn and pay witness to one man 's life quickly turn upside down by a power hungry , guilt-ridden government seek safety under its ever-intrusive eye . +54 Movies_TV POS 4 Series one be a tacky , self-mocking soap opera set on Earth with lot of trademark from `` Doctor who '' insert just so the series title could be validate . but while series 1 have its problem , it do have a few worthy moment too . so , how do series 2 compare ? Series two do feel more like ` traditional , classic who ' , especially compare to series 1 . there be a few issue -lrb- just about all of it be earth-based again -rrb- , but all and all it be definitely a tremendous improvement . David Tennant be a refreshing change from the do-nothing Christopher Eccleston . from the wacky to the serious , and from be pro-active and right down to the costume , improvement be all over the place . the overall quality of series two 's episode be definitely sporadic . Series 1 have a similar feel with all of its story , even if the story themselves be lacklustre at best . season two go all over the place in tone and intellectual quality , and despite its clunker be definitely worth the different format -lrb- and actor ! -rrb- indeed , the fact Tennant argue for the character 's name in the end credit to be rename to `` the doctor '' be inspiring . rate on a 4 star basis , 4 be best and 0 be worst : the CHRISTMAS INVASION \* \* 1\/2 the new doctor spend most of the episode in a coma , leave Rose and Mickey to figure out what be up with a bunch of mysterious and deadly Christmas figure and decoration . the only saving grace here be Tennant 's performance , and he be keep to the side for most of it . still , he presence give we hope ... NEW EARTH 1\/2 think we 'll finally get a story set on another planet ? not quite . the replacement for Earth be still call Earth . the whole thing feel like a throwback to Eccleston 's era , right down to body function joke and sexual innuendo -- mindless fluff that be not `` Doctor who '' . this one nearly have I call it quit ... glad I keep on . tooth and claw \* \* \* 1\/2 Queen Victoria , werewolf , odd karate monk ... everything about this be rather good . but something call a Torchwood ? Hmmm ... SCHOOL REUNION \* \* \* anthony Stuart Head steal the show as the villain . it also add some new depth into Mickey . it also bring back Sarah Jane and K9 . my problem with this one be , Sarah Jane be make out to be a ex-lover of the doctor . -lrb- even Mickey state a obvious comment and we be grateful it be not the doctor who say it . -rrb- it be get a lot of great moment -lrb- and in way be what `` Logopolis '' should have be -rrb- , but the bad moment -lrb- involve the verbal sparring between Sarah Jane and Rose -rrb- be cringe . still , all thing consider , it be worth 3 out of 4 . the girl in the fireplace \* \* \* 1\/2 another winner , yet with another drunken excuse to thrust in more sexuality . this time , it be the Doctor himself go after a lady . everything else about this story be great ... then consider the writer of it write the british comedy `` coupling '' and it all make sense as to why the Doctor have to have a sex life . sigh ... why ??? why continue to humanize a alien character for pointless rating ? on the flip side , the ship itself be a inverse of a Cyberman : human organ operate a machine mind . that be way-cool . but the sexual flippancy that be prevalent in the new series in general , why why why ? rise of the CYBERMEN \* \* \* a interesting twist on the re-invention of the Cybermen : a parallel dimension . -lrb- could this parallel Earth be Mondas , the Cybermens ' home world in we universe ? -rrb- we also get the big revelation the TARDIS be organic . -lrb- that be great if the idea of organic technology have not be develop by any number of sci-fi author in the past , include `` Doctor who '' back in 1971 with `` the Claws of Axos '' ! -rrb- the cliffhanger be decent too ... but this one be actually decent . the age of STEEL \* \* 1\/2 Mickey be still great . unfortunately , that be about it . the sonic screwdriver , which have be misuse and overuse in the past , be really OTT in this episode as , amongst other thing , it distract a whole regimen of Cybermen . we also do not need the 59th reminder this be not `` we '' Earth therefore it be not `` we '' Jackie and Pete . the cliffhanger resolution be paltry ... there be some redeeming scene , such as get to empathize with a convert human ... but it be not a perfect resolution . and parallel technology seem quite compatible despite they universe be much more advanced . still , if you do not think about plot hole , change motive , or bad idea in general , this story -lrb- along with most of they -rrb- would all be 4 out of 4 star . also , the new Cybermen costume be not all that great either . sci-fi fan will recognize it as a amalgamation of c3po -lrb- star war -rrb- with melkur -lrb- from the Doctor who story ` the keeper of traken ' -rrb- the idiot 's LANTERN \* \* \* not the best explain , but definitely a creepy and interesting idea regard technology consuming people ' life . -lrb- there be two theme in this series : 1 be Torchwood , which seem force at time . the 2nd be the integration of technology into people ' life , usually for bad effect . this 2nd one be far more interesting and worthy , and the metaphor use in ` the idiot 's Lantern ' be quite good indeed ... -rrb- the impossible planet \* \* \* 1\/2 hmmm . should be a classic . but why be not it ? the fear factor be there , many moment that could have end up as hokey joke be play straight ... but there be no depth to the plot . not even little hint of intellectual depth . nothing to think about , it be just be spoon out to viewer . but it be tense , gripping , and worthy ... but it be a tease . the first time we be away from Earth and there be no alien civilization . just more bogeymonster . the SATAN PIT \* \* \* 1\/2 premonition and resolution . indeed , this conclusion to `` the impossible planet '' be very good indeed , and while the beast be too synonymous with a particular religion , it be venerable . love & MONSTERS ___ why ? it be a parody of who fan , but at least it be parody the new series rather than the classic one . some bit do work , but other be awful . I like the idea of the monster , but they have to go overboard with the crass crudeness and bodily function joke , of which series 2 have be mostly devoid of -- up until now . oh well , I should not have have high hope . -lrb- the writer must be a fan of fox cartoon show ... -rrb- I will not bother to mention the final gag scene at the end . all I 'll say be `` there be a literal meaning to that '' . it redefine low . fear her \* \* \* Hmmm . it seem to be a knock-off of a potential `` Sapphire and Steel '' story . -lrb- or for Americans , it be rather like a episode of `` the X-Files '' . -rrb- the trouble be , the story lose its way at the 35 minute mark and never recover . as usual , the more interesting point be not explain . it be a real mixed bag , but the good point -lrb- e.g. the doctor be trap -rrb- make up for it . the lead-in to the next story be also great at the time . army of ghost \* \* \* \* no more silly reference , Torchwood be reveal . smooth . not quite the same theme as `` bad Wolf '' -lrb- for `` bad Wolf '' , Rose create it but the circumstance be implausible -rrb- , but it be not as loosely shrug off either -lrb- we have no idea how Torchwood would be define ... or how it could exist without UNIT know about it , but that be fair too -rrb- . this be Russell t Davies ' best who story of they all . it be taut , gripping , have some intelligence behind it -lrb- though I be hope it would be more than parallel universe cyberman wander into ours -rrb- , and then there be that cliffhanger that nobody expect -- the return of Daleks . doomsday \* okay , let 's turn the whole affair into a parody of a self-mockery . apart from the initial Dalek\/Cybermen spat , there be nothing worthy here . even rtd can not decide if the Genesis Ark be Dalek or Time Lord technology and merrily mix it up as he go along . worse , have be tell 5,000 time that he be not we Pete and not we Jackie , the doctor seem intent on get Rose to stay with they . and for all the maudlin drivel over Rose say she be die , she be also suggest she be not alive until she meet the doctor . this mean she be only 2 . Hmmm , sound about right ... Billie Piper be a great actress , but Rose be always a huge annoyance when not be a bland one . -rrb- so much plot potential be throw out by empty excuse , and for the big build-up of Rose 's death of fight a big foe , this be one real cheat . and it be a real shame ; I be expect so much more from a terrific build-up . I be look forward to series 3 . all in all , the improvement far outweight the silly quibble that the production team and writer can not seem to wholly divorce themselves from , but series 2 be a massive improvement . +237 Movies_TV POS 5 it be a classic ! my daughter love it and watch it 2 or 3 time in a row . +175 Movies_TV POS 5 one of the thing that be hard for a show to do , even a long-running series , be to match the success and strong story element of the first season the second time around . but the cast and crew of `` Doctor who '' not only match the success of season one , but actually surpass it with the second season . David Tennant , take the TARDIS key from Christopher Eccleston , prove to be a fantastic successor to the role of the Doctor , bring a lot of humor and gravitas to the role , and be support by the equally-fantastic Billie Piper as he companion , Rose Tyler . couple with a brilliant support cast , strong storytelling , fantastic visual and strong music , this be a terrific season of the show . highlight include : `` the Christmas Invasion , '' David Tennant 's premiere episode ; `` Tooth and Claw , '' which bring werewolf into a story of alien after Queen Victoria ; `` School Reunion , '' which reunite the doctor with Sarah Jane Smith and k-9 ; `` the Girl in the Fireplace , '' a brilliant episode from the always-brilliant Steven Moffat ; the two-part `` the impossible Planet\/The Satan pit , '' which pit the doctor against the Devil himself ; and the two-part finale , `` Army of Ghosts\/Doomsday , '' which feature both a head-to-head battle between the Daleks and the Cybermen , and the exit of Rose as a companion in a final scene that will leave nobody with a dry eye . the dvd release of series two be also improve over the first . the picture quality be fantastic , and the audio , a problem with the previous set , be much improve . extra be fantastic , from David Tennant 's video diary to cut-down version of `` Doctor who Confidential . '' longtime fan and newcomer to the show will definitely want this set in they collection ! allons-y ! Program\/DVD Grade : a + +928 Movies_TV POS 4 my husband have really enjoy have these . it allow he to watch they when he want instead of wait for the episode he like to come around . he have also really enjoy the extra . +351 Movies_TV NEU 3 I have be make a point of re-watching all the Disney classic from my youth and comment on they with adult eye . it be be a very interesting experience , and PETER PAN be no exception . what stand out be all the element Disney would not dare put in a animated film today ... like the carefree knife play and the pirate who Captian Hook pick off with he hand gun . but by and large , the whole fire engine red face `` injun '' scene be pretty amazing . prune-faced and hook-nosed , the red man hit every stereotype in the book ... and it just go on and on . while we be all familiar with the story of PETER PAN , I have no recollection the whole thing be essentially motivate by jealous female . Tinkerbell be jealous of wendy . the mermaid be jealous of wendy . wendy be jealous of Tigerlily . jealous Tinkerbell sell Peter out -lrb- at least Tigerlily be smart enough to keep she mouth shut -rrb- . all be vie for Peter 's attention , and he be near oblivious to the lot of it . and Peter , in my opinion , be kind of a unlikable jerk -lrb- along with the retard lose boy -rrb- . a wise-guy , who pout and listen to no one , he turn on he best friend , Tinkerbell , and banish she forever , make the effort to reconcile only when he think she be about to die . at one point , I be kind of hope Captian Hook would at least get one good shot in . it be a all right piece of animation , better than SNOW WHITE and far better than ALICE in WONDERLAND ... but not nearly as good as JUNGLE BOOK , which be by far my Disney favorite . PETER PAN land somewhere between SNOW WHITE and ROBIN HOOD on my scale . with the most enjoyable part involve the hungry crocodile or wendy 's littlest brother -lrb- who be really cute -rrb- . +743 Movies_TV POS 4 hey , it be no Scarface , but it get my attention . Tony Scott never cease to entertain the hell out of I with he smokey , sharply-edited , fast-paced directing . prop for whoever write this movie too ; it be pretty impressive how he manage to tie together all of Will Smith 's problem and combine they in the end for one of the loudest mexican stand-off ever see on film . not bad performance , especially by Smith who I feel be totally underrated to begin with . great buy for action fan and movie buff alike ; just heed this warning : if you be a little paranoid about certain thing and take movie way too seriously , DO NOT watch this . Smith 's situation be a little unlikely , but anything 's possible . +526 Movies_TV POS 5 definately one of the best spy movie I have see in a long time . from the murder at the start to the resturant scene at the end this be a great modern day spy story . whether you take the gadget seriousely or not be up to you , remember , it be just a movie . my only complaint be that Will Smith be way out of he league in this one , he just can not hold it in a serious movie . Hackman who do not appear until almost half way thru the movie steal the show and show what a class act he be . will smith should stick to the goofy part he have play before like MIB or wild wild west , not the serious movie the scenery and tech stuff be all well do and one worth owning , so buy this one +901 Movies_TV POS 5 fun , FUN , FUN ... what more can I say . Dance , sweat , laugh , and feel great , oh , and a beautiful woman lead you through it all . what more could you want in a work out . I love it ! I be go to order all of she tape . thank you Hemalaya for put some fun back into my workout . +157 Movies_TV POS 5 the first season the first doctor be amazing . I be a huge Tom Baker fan and in my eye there could never be another doctor as good as he . I be very skeptical of this new Doctor who series . after watch the first season I be amaze how great the plot be and how amazing this doctor be . shockingly they replace this doctor with a new one at the end of the first series . I could not believe this . personally I be shock they find a actor this good to play Doctor who . now they get rid of he and replace he with a new actor . my thought , the show be over , they will never find another person to play the doctor as well as this first guy . to my amazement this new guy be unbelieveable as the doctor . he be even better then the first and remind I a lot of Tom Baker . the second season be great all the way through until the end . Billie Pipper I love . she be great as the doctor side kick and not to leave out she be HOT !! just after two season they be now get rid of she . do the first doctor and Billie Pipper choose to leave on there own or be they fire . if they leave on there own they be fool cause this new series be great and should be pick up for many season to come . I be in fear of this new side kick who will be appear in season three . such a perfect show to relieve two great actor within the first two season . +862 Movies_TV NEG 1 we just try to watch this movie and we receive a message Playback Prohibited and it do not play the movie . we spend we money on this and it do not work . do not anyone check to make sure the movie will play ? we buy many movie and I be very disappointed . +625 Movies_TV NEG 2 this be suppose to be a thriller . ok , whatever ... the viewer obviously know that Will Smith will emerge from this harrowing adventure more or less intact , so there really be not any tension create by put he character in peril . therefore , the only tension & suspense the producer of this film can hope to create come from play on the audience 's sense of paranoia . `` oh my god , what if the government really be watch my every word & deed ? '' think the audience . oh my god , this could actually be happen ! all you have to do be read some of the review here and you will see that paranoia be a major factor in this film 's appeal . all I could think of as I watch this film be , give I a break . one rogue NSA bureaucrat , support by a handfull of computer geek , and they be suppose to be able to conduct a operation this vast ? be you kid I ? have anyone ever hear of information overload ? I do not doubt that a good deal of this technology exist , but let 's get real folk -- if the NSA be really conduct surveillance on this scale , the amount of raw datum the agency would have to sift through simply boggle the mind . the NSA would have to employ half the population of the USA to spy on the other half . if the NSA 's surveillance be this bush-league , most of we could commit all manner of security breach and never get catch ! ironically , I find myself feel more secure about not be scrutinize by the government after have see this film . as to the film itself -- sure , all the chase scene be grip , the camera angle be great , blah blah blah . the production value in this movie be top-notch , but so what ? Bruckheimer & Tony Scott can do movie like this in they sleep , so it be no big deal . the same can be say for Jon Voight & Gene Hackman , who pretty much phone it in with they role . from a production standpoint , this movie be indistinguishable from the hundred of other so-called thriller that the Hollywood machine have churn out over the last few year . Ho hum . overall , this just really be a thoroughly mediocre film . +851 Movies_TV POS 5 Alysha Miller Block 3 `` come with I where you 'll never , never have to worry about grow up thing again . '' that quote , say by Peter Pan , start a whole adventure with Peter and Wendy . in the movie , Peter Pan , Peter come to Wendy 's house and take she and she sibling to never land , where no one ever grow up . never Land be fill with pirate , mermaid , Indians , and fairy . Peter and Wendy go through many obstacle to defeat the villain , Captain Hook . one reason that you should buy this movie be because it be entertain for everyone from kid to adult . the animated and imaginary land will be fun for kid , and the adult will enjoy the wonder of childhood . also , you should buy this product because it be a Disney classic . it be one of Disney 's most famous movie , and you can own it and have the ability to be a part of the magic Disney bring to every film it make . finally , you should buy Peter Pan because it will stay in you heart forever . the delightful tale of child just let go and have fun will always be a reminder to have a good time instead of worry about problem throughout all of you life . in conclusion , you should purchase Peter Pan because it be enchant for everyone , it be a famous Disney film , and the concept will be with you forever . +20 Movies_TV POS 5 this series have come a long way since the it debut in the early sixty . who could have know it would still keep go strong , fresh and vigorous into the 21st century ? it alsmost do not . not until a wonderful man by the name Russell T. Davies take the helm of the new project and infuse it with all the wonder , wit and flamboyant eccentricity of the early series . Series 1 of the new Doctor who show that the series could keep its essence and original storytelling without be overwhelm by modern special effect - which be sorely need , though . it also cast some wonderful character to carry the torth . Christopher Eccleston 's Doctor will go down in the annals of who history as the `` Golden Age '' of of the new Doctor who . when he leave at the end of series 1 , David Tennant , who take on the role have some pretty big clog to fill . fortunately , Tennant 's Doctor be as energetic and powerful as Eccleston 's while remain very different . he doctor seem reminiscent of the olde Tom Baker era , and the story he character get into often exude the horror of the Patrick Troughton early year . doctor who be always best when it be scary , something the orginal series seem to drop towards the end in favor of tell story that be just `` weird '' . fortunately the new series know how to exploit its deeper root and bring some incredibly hair-raising moment . Werewolves , Cybermen , and tv 's that suck people 's face off . also , the story be well write , not just rest a cruch of cheap thrill . each story seem to have something intelligent and move to say , something that separate Doctor who from be just a `` Kid 's show '' to something everyone can enjoy . I , for one , be strangely attractd to what be probably the most bizarre episode of series 2 -lrb- nay , the whole series -rrb- , `` love and monster '' . although not tell from the doctor or Rose 's perspective , the intrigue , emotion and charismatic branding of the series be all package neatly into it . it be as bizzare as it be move . but I will not dare spoil it for any of you because it be a epidode , I believe , that be mean to surprise you becuase of its `` uniqueness '' . overall , series 2 have do a fanastic job of open the world of who to old and young alike . for I , someone who come from the fandom of the classic series , I feel like I be rediscover my love of the show without have to relearn it . for my friend , who scarcely glance at the old series , its ageless fun and intellegence -lrb- not to mention update special effect -rrb- have draw they in as well . you be in for quite the romp ! +223 Movies_TV POS 4 it have action , suspense , hi-technology , and Will Smith pair with vetran gene Hackman . what else could you ask for ? I will say that the casting be excellent . I be pleasantly surprise to see Lisa Bonet in the flick , but not surprise at she fate . there be a element of predictability at certain point but overall I enjoy it . +565 Movies_TV POS 5 Peter Pan be delightful ... I see it with Mary martin when it be first produce and it just get better - also get copy for all of my grandchild . +420 Movies_TV POS 5 Cant go wrong with a classic ... who wouldnt like disney `` peterpan '' ? : -rrb- a 2 disk platinum edition , brand new and i think i pay 11somethe ... that be a great deal , even with ship it be still a bargain .

Great . +800 Movies_TV POS 5 this be a great movie . it be funny , well write and tell a wonderful story . however , I be sick of this steryotype crap . give I a break people , this movie be make a long time ago , when they make movie with a decent story line , and do not compromise that to make all the poor little people happy . loose up . do not talk to you kid about it be `` wrong '' or `` evil '' what next burn it ` cos it be offensive ? give I a break . let peoople make movie properly , and do not worry about offend everyone in the world . most people be not offend and out dumber those that for whatever reason be . get a life . +523 Movies_TV POS 5 a evergreen animated fantasy base on J.M. Barrie 's beloved child 's book , Disney 's `` Peter Pan '' feature dazzling hand-drawn visual , excellent voice act , and a win score epitomize by the song `` you can fly ! '' render by Driscoll , Peter be refreshingly cocky , and even Tinkerbell have a bit of a impetuous streak ; Hook , of course , be as dastardly as ever . make by the same team that later create `` the lady and the Tramp , '' this thrilling , imaginative tale best the 1923 live-action original , and leave most other version in the -lrb- fairy -rrb- dust as well . +832 Movies_TV POS 4 this be a Disney oldie but goodie , with lot of stuff that should keep just about anyone entertain . my parent enjoy this when it come out , and I enjoy it many year later . I have to admit that I be especially fond of Captain Hook , and all of the character and storyline in this film be well-done . some people will like this more than other - depend on personal taste - but overall this be a great Disney classic and if you be a Disney fan , you 'll want to check this out ! +905 Movies_TV NEG 1 I love dance workout and I have enjoy other `` bhangra '' workout , but this one be very poorly do . there be no explanation on how to do the step and the cueing be off . it be a complete waste of my money . +546 Movies_TV POS 4 enemy of the state be flashy , big budget , adrenalin-pumping cinema as only director Tony Scott and producer Jerry Bruckheimer can concoct . it be raucously entertaining and most certainly a strident rally film for the conspiracy theorist . now I do not know just how accurate the movie be in term of the technology depict -lrb- I would say fairly accurate -rrb- or of the dubious length to which we government will stoop to achieve its end , but , certainly , the sincere and bravura acting of the high power cast lend this over the top film a element of plausibility . several spoiler here : when a nature photographer -lrb- Jason Lee -rrb- accidentally tape the cold-blooded murder of a high profile congressman , it set off a chain of event which horrifyingly affect and endanger Washington , D.C. attorney Robert Dean -lrb- Will Smith -rrb- . when a corrupt , high ranking agent of the National Security Agency come to believe that Dean have in he possession evidence which will incriminate he , he and he henchman turn Dean 's universe instantly topsy turvy ; as a result of they manipulation , Robert Dean be summarily fire from he law firm , frame in the newspaper , accuse of have a affair with a ex-flame and current informant , and strip of he finances . even he cell phone stop function . he be bug six way from Sunday and be reduce to run for he life clothe in he undies . it be hard work evade these determine people as Dean be easily pinpoint by the NSA 's use of aerial surveillance and sundry tracking device . but Dean receive unexpected aid from a enigmatic ex-intelligence agent -lrb- gene Hackman , again act with ferocity -rrb- as he try desperately to stay one step ahead of he powerful , omnipresent pursuer and somehow salvage the remnant of he life . you have to hand it to Scott and Bruckheimer , when they get together -lrb- DEJA VU , CRIMSON TIDE , TOP gun -rrb- , they enthusiasm know no bound . this rapidly pace hi-tech thriller\/chase film take Hitchcock 's innocent man on the run premise and insert its own brand of polished action sequence and well-executed stunts\/fx . there be no question it be slickness . it be also enhance by the solid performance of everyman will Smith , the surly gene Hackman , and the villainous Jon Voight . Regina King , Jamie Kennedy , Jack Black , and Lisa Bonet -lrb- still sexy -rrb- all contribute nicely in support role . enemy of the state be a cautionary fable which raise the issue of national security and of we government 's constant need to gather intel for we own protection , but juxtapose against that be the violation incur to we civil rights , and , how , depend on the man , certain moral line be easier to cross in pursuit of the big picture . as someone say , `` absolute power corrupt absolutely . '' this film would have we believe that , with the application of space satellite imagery , super dedicated camera , various transmitter and tap , we government can now have access to we privacy at a moment 's whim . the sobering thing here be that the frighteningly detailed surveillance technology show in this film - which would make J. Edgar Hoover cream in he dress - be , no doubt , in existence and be probably in steady use - for we own good , of course . suck for we and the so-called american way of life . I be sure , somewhere , George Orwell be say , `` see - I tell you . '' +322 Movies_TV POS 4 very enjoyable and fun . if you kid like the first two they will enjoy this one . +99 Movies_TV POS 4 what I like about Will Smith in this movie be that he can show he can play a serious actor without resort to he fresh Prince character again and again . case in point : Independence Day and Men in Black . both good movie , but not much of a stretch for Smith . here , he be quite darned good as a dc labor laywer set up by a agency of the government , head by Jon Voight . it turn out Smith be carry a piece of evidence that will expose Voight as the murderer of a famous congressman . will Smith 's life be throw in disarray ; he wife think he be cheat on she with he ex-girlfriend , he be be fire , and now he only hope be a recluse play by Gene Hackman . together only can they clear Smith 's name and bring down Voight 's character . the action scene be quite good , and the sound from this dvd will blow you sock off during the explosion . the best part though be about basic privacy . there be satellite look down on we all the time , how the government can hack we computer and listen in we phone call in the name of national security . some very serious question be raise in this enjoyable action thriller . +164 Movies_TV POS 5 as everyone have already say in they review , David Tennant do indeed step in Christopher Ecclestones considerably talent shoe with ease . he grace he doctor with the same amount of energy and charisma as the previous doctor , but also manage to imbue he with a more natural and engaging warmth . the second series may lack some of the excitement and ` new-ness ' of the first , but thanks largely to it be great cast it manage to steer ahead strongly , drive by broader plot and lead to a darker end . but , for I , it be Rose who be the real star of both . Billie Piper , ex-teen singing pop sensation , just bristle Rose to real life . I can see this every girl on any street in London or Cardiff , full of idea , energy , wit , fear , strength , joy ... just watch she play off the doctor ' eccentricity be a reminder to how we would all like to behave if ever confront with a Time Lord ! the last two episode be up with the best , and unlike a previous reviewer , I disagree with the final episode be a let down . my judgement ? no thirty four year old man should ever cry in front of he miss and kid because of a tv show , but the fact that I do be all the proof I need ! +483 Movies_TV POS 4 I think this movie -lrb- enemy of the state -rrb- be one of the most deep - level tech movie ever make . full of action and techniephobia . this movie also go on to show how technology be great , but can also be use against the normal citizen , be u in afghnistan or zanzibar . in this thriller the power of the NSA be unleasehed . this be one of the mpost powerful agaency in the world and they can use technology to track down the most tortoise-like movement of the citizen of the world , government or any other group see as a menace . powerful sophisticated gadget and the sateleite be use . will smith as a lawyer just step on to something he should have never step on to , and so he be chase and haunt . every aspect of he life be monitor . blackmail , torture , snoop , life digression , phone bugging , mind torture , private life all be use against this innocenet surbarban man by the corrupt official of the NSA who want to bend force of gravity at they will . they fail in the last minute . and like all reality the good guy win , and so evil be conquer , and will smith with thehelp of he friend -lrb- a former guerilla train NSA official brill -lrb- gene hackman -rrb- be instittute at he rightful place . +866 Movies_TV POS 5 I really enjoy this dvd .

'' . it `` answer '' a lot of question that you do not ask . this be a insult to the original Cinderella in short . if this be truly all that great , it would have : 1 : be release in theater by disney 2 : would have make a killing in sale 3 : would have ton of toy and commercial base on it but since it do not ... you have to wonder , despite all the review , why it do not attract more attention than it do . this be a typical disney sequel folk , so that mean that you have to sift through the review and use you common sense . Amy , 10 +806 Movies_TV POS 5 `` enemy of the state '' be a great movie . that be why I give it a 5 star rating . Will Smith play a perfect roll for this movie . he play a simple man who be catch up in the wrong place at the wrong time . a murder that be commit and a tape that have it all on it be now in he hand . after a run in with the man who have it , he life change in a matter of seconds . he be now run to keep he , he wife , and he kid secure from any harm that may come . now that he be be hunt , life may rotate between admirable and unpleasant . this be a good movie with stack or action and suspense for what may approach . check out this movie as soon as you can . +993 Movies_TV POS 4 Robert Clayton Dean be a D.C. lawyer who be about to get some kind of twisted Christmas present from a old friend of college : a tape , which reveal a political assassination . Dean do not know he have it , but the people ivolve in the murder do know . and they be prepare for anything in order to get back that type , even if that mean destroy Dean 's life . but Dean be not willing to let that happen , even if he do not know why they want to destroy they . what we get here be a intelligent film direct by Tony Scott and for my taste , the best of he career . but that be just my opinion . I be a little skeptical at first , because I do not think Will Smith could deliver a dramatic performance , but he surprise I , and I be sure I be not the only one . of course , Gene Hackman , Jason Lee , Jon Voight , Barry Pepper , Jack Black , Seth Green , Jamie Kennedy , Scott Caan , Tom Sizemore and Gabriel Byrne have they good thing , too . it be a awesome cast in my opinion and they all do they job better than one would expect . I can only complaint about the little screen time Gabriel Byrne have , but it be really ok . and Tom Sizemore , wow , he be great in this one as a italian mobster and who , in my opinion , have the greatest line in the film . note that I only give this film 4 star , but that be because of the dvd edition . it be so lame when it could have be so great . the film get 5 star , not the dvd . maybe the technology show in the movie be a little overwhelming and for those who be not into the state of the art electronic device , this film may seem too far-fetched . the music be superb and the main theme be really a beautiful music piece that really grab the essence of this movie , which be , in my opinion , the end of privacy . how you action , even in the privacy of you bedroom , you computer , phone call , e-mail ... everything , can be tap just to ensure national security . of course , it be a step beyond , but definately , very plausible . what be more important to you ? privacy or safety ? and if it be indeed safety , how do we know that the people monitor we be not use that power for selfish purpose , like depict in this film . be we willing to give up we privacy just to feel safe ? and how safe would you feel know that someone be watch you or listen to everyword that come out of you mouth ? `` only privacy that be leave be inside you head and maybe that be enough '' one of the character say . and after September 11 , after many of we lose that sense of security , I be quite sure that this would be a interesting debate . to paraphrase another of the character , `` when building start blow up , people priority tend to change '' . he be get a point there . but who be there to tell which person be trustworthy enough for I to trust he my privacy , my life ? as Larry King say in the last line of the film : `` how do we draw the line between protection of National Security , obviously the government 's need to obtain intelligence datum , and the protection of civil liberty , particularly the sanctity of my home ? you have get no right to come into my home '' . +911 Movies_TV POS 5 I really disagree on the mom 's on this one . I think it be very funny and really cool how they give the character alot more personality . do not you ever get tire of the good guy always win or there always be a good ending . that get very dull over time . and I dont really think this movie be really imoral . get married twice be not wrong , a lot of people get remarry . when everything get erase you must start over again . but I be not really sure I like the music video they use at the end of the show . it just do not have the same atmosphere as the movie do . well anyways thank you for listen . and mom 's you have very good opinion . +488 Movies_TV POS 5 this be a intense conspiracy thriller . Shadow operation , satellite intelligence and the whole work . Will Smith be Robert Dean , attourney at law , who be life be put in shambles after accidentally receive something he have no idea about . enemy of the state be one of my all time favorie movie . it be well shoot and Will Smith give a great performance . this be one of Tony Scott 's best film . with a colorful cast like Gene Hackman , Jon Voight , Jack Black , Jamie Kennedy , and more , this film be hard to miss . a must-see for any conspiracy theorist lover . if you have not see it than you have miss out . +386 Movies_TV POS 5 love it as a kid , and now I love share it with my boy ! +528 Movies_TV POS 5 all I can say be WOW !! I hadnt watch Peter Pan in about 15 year , but it somehow remain one of my favorite . I get the special Edition dvd last night and immediatly rip the Amazon box and the wrap ... I watch the movie ... and suddenly I remember I could fly . this be a fantastic story , where as a child you can relate , and certainly wish Peter will lose he shadow in you bedroom . this version have also some very interesting feature , like language track in french and spanish -lrb- its really funny to hear the character in another language -rrb- , commentary , game and more ! and ... after watch it again , and again , and again ... it still remain as one of my favorite !! +147 Movies_TV POS 4 lot of extra ! include a inline video commentary -lrb- which put up a tiny frame in the lower left hand corner of the screen let you see the people as they actually watch the episode -rrb- on some of the episode . not all the episode have commentary . David Tennant do commentary on several episode ! deleted scene ! David Tennant 's Video Diaries -lrb- around a hour -rrb- . Billie Piper also do a short video diary in the Makeup Trailer . child in need special help people from the US understand the start of the Christmas special . +459 Movies_TV POS 4 I rent this movie from netflix because I just love rendition of the Cinderella story . I think that this would be something purely tacky that Disney be merely try to make a profit on . well , I dont doubt that they be at least try to make a profit , but it be surpisingly better than i anticipate . I love the twist on the story in which Cinderella need to save herself and work without magic to win the prince . it have a stronger feminist message . I also love how the end uplift the idea of want a man to love someone for who she truly be as well . it have a stronge feminist message as a result which i fully appreciate . but it do not take away any of the fun or emotional sense of magic within the underlie message . the reason I give it four star be because even though I enjoy the twist on this , its really hard to beat a classic ! +387 Movies_TV POS 4 enjoyable , but not a classic . my daughter like it more than I do . I would give it a 3 . the magic be not there . still worth the buy . +876 Movies_TV POS 5 arrive in great shape and in a timely manner . my granddaughter love it . +637 Movies_TV POS 5 fantastic acting , amazing writing , and a great overarching plot element make this a must-own season . David Tennant step into the role with aplomb , and virtually every episode in the season be a four or five star episode . +332 Movies_TV POS 5 the 10th doctor be wonderful . I have see he in Casanova and be impress with he then . he do a wonderful job here and the chemistry between he and Billie Piper be evident . all in all a great series with a gut wrenching final episode . yes , I cry a lot . also wonderful be the behind the scene Confidential series and David Tennant 's Video Diaries . as a performer myself it be very interesting to see how the show be make as well as personal experience of the cast . definitely buy this . +123 Movies_TV NEU 3 my brother like this film about these kid that tell story about peter pan and then he finally come and take they to he world where he want they to stay , and if they dont they can never come back . the land be for kid only and they wil never grow up there . there be mermaid , and pirate , etc and new charecter and kid and excitee for the whole family . ~ +91 Movies_TV POS 5 I rent this film so my husband and I could go on a date and leave a new film with the babysitter . I actually start watch it while I get ready ! my baby love it and I have to re-rent it twice as it be no longer available on shelf . while this be not to be compare to the `` move art '' of the 40 's and 50 's Disney film it be a fantastic story ! Cinderella be a sweet , kind , caring and graceful girl who get to live a happily ever after life thanks to she friend the mouse and she fairy Godmother . but what if the magic that propel Cinderella to `` Princess '' be in the wrong hand ? Cinderella 's fairy tale be rewind and rewrite leave we heroine to fend for herself . I be impressed that Cinderella maintain she sweet and happy demeanor even while take responsibility for she future . in today 's world it be refresh when a girl can maintain grace , dignity , and class while still reach for and obtain she dream . some of the song that Cinderella sing be very pretty and they do well in find a voice talent that would come close to the original actress both in demeanor and pitch . a few of the song can get kind of cheesy and the mouse have a bit of a tendency to really annoy you but I promise you 'll be watch you baby act out to and laugh at these moment . this movie be gear towards young child with enough of a plot to stand on its own and to be enjoy by all age . the animation be brighter than in the original but try to maintain `` the look '' of Cinderella and she fellow cast . the moral of the story be that if you believe in Love and in yourself you can do anything , even without Disney 's signature dose of magic . I would recommend this product to anyone look to revisit the world of Cinderella . you will not leave disappointed this time . +402 Movies_TV NEG 1 this movie lack any level of credibility . the technology be ridiculous from the start and get worse as the movie continue . I do not care about any of the people in this movie at all and I never see a point in any of the action . it be almost as though the character be compel to do the most outlandish thing possible instead of think about a normal and believable way out of they predicament . +957 Movies_TV POS 5 season two of the new series be a really odd mixed bag - as any season of Doctor who should be . the new series ' honeymoon be over : now that the shock of `` wow , Doctor who be back ! '' have wear off , viewer will inevitably start to become more critical of the show , and by have such a outstanding opening season , Doctor who now fall into the position of have to top itself after set a really high standard . David Tennant make a immediate impression as the new Doc , effortlessly steal the show from Christopher Eccleston . everyone 's go to compare he to Tom Baker , of course , but I think the previous doctor he resemble most be Sylvester McCoy , with he exhuberent clownish exterior hide a really , really dark edge . the overall quality of this season 's episode be more mixed than the first season . season two 's best episode be better than those in season one , but the weak spot be poorer . the CHRISTMAS INVASION \* \* \* \* 1\/2 the new doctor spend most of the episode comatose while alien invade the planet , force Rose and Prime Minister Harriet Jones to step up to bat . NEW EARTH \* \* \* the first excursion off-planet for the new series . this episode try to be all thing at once - comedy , thriller , zombie movie and tear-jerker - and as a result feel a little scattered . tooth and claw \* \* \* \* the first great episode of season two will now be show at my house every Halloween . Queen Victoria , a werewolf , kung-fu monk -lrb- !?! -rrb- , and heavy product-placement for this fall 's `` Torchwood '' spin-off . school REUNION \* \* \* \* 1\/2 this be the episode I be look forward to the most this year , with the return of Sarah Jane Smith and K-9 . Anthony Head give a wonderfully understate performance as the villain - he would have make a great master ! the girl in the fireplace \* \* \* \* \* each of the first four episode get better than the last , with this be the peak of the first half of the season . the doctor fall head-over-heel for a 18th century french aristocrat while try to stop a insane spaceship from the future from steal she brain . -lrb- you can not explain the plot to this one without giggle . but it work ! fantastic ! -rrb- the romantic plot would have make this a controversial episode if it have not be so damn good . rise of the CYBERMEN \* \* \* 1\/2 here we go . after the Daleks in season one , the Cybermen be the next classic monster we know we be go to see return . the new series use the clever idea of throw the TARDIS into a parallel universe so we can discard all Cyberman backstory and start over from scratch . since this be a two-part story , any who fan will know to resign himself to not see the monster until the cliffhanger at the end . in the meantime , the episode play with the alternate-earth concept and the temptation that can present for the Doctor 's sidekick . the age of STEEL \* \* \* \* Part two of all-out Doctor vs. Cybermen action ! a great conclusion to the build-up of part one , and a wonderful step in the character arc of Rose 's sorta boyfriend Mickey , who be so useless in the beginning of season one . the great thing about the Cybermen be that they be the Borg long before there be a Borg . unfortunately , since the Borg design be so much creepier it make the Cybermen look pretty silly , even with the cool new outfit . the IDIOT 's LANTERN \* \* \* the doctor and Rose wind up in the Fifties and find that dozen of middle-class London suburbanite have be turn - literally - into faceless drone by they tv set . metaphor anyone ? one problem with the show at this point be that it now become obvious that the doctor and Rose 's relationship - which be visibly grow throughout the first season - have go about as far as it can without break through the family-friendly-tv barrier that we know it will not . the impossible planet \* \* \* \* \* the high point of the entire season , and possibly the entire series so far . definitely the scariest 45 minute of Doctor who to date . the doctor and Rose land on the set of `` Alien '' and find a crew of human drill to the core of a planet in orbit around a massive black hole . I guess the word bad idea be no longer in the language five thousand year from now . the SATAN PIT \* \* \* \* \* Part two . the beast 's minion swarm through the base while Rose and the explorer try to escape . meanwhile , the Doctor descend into the bowels of Hell to come face to face with the devil himself . like `` the empty child '' two-parter from season one , this be one of those classic I 'll be watch over and over again . just do not make I choose between the two . love & MONSTERS \* \* \* here 's where the season start to wind down and you can tell the money be run out . the episode follow a ` average bloke ' who meet the doctor and become obssessed with he . I appreciate it when a show take risk , but if this one have be play more seriously it would have work better . fear her \* \* no thanks . a cheap filler episode about a girl with supernatural power that wind up like a cross between X-Files and Sesame Street . army of ghost \* \* \* \* annnd we be back ! the intensity of the first half of the season return , as the Earth suffer from a massive haunting and the doctor finally cross path with Torchwood . doomsday \* \* \* \* \* somehow , the second season top the emotional climax of the first as two classic who monster battle in the street of London and we learn the final fate of Rose Tyler . choice be make , choice be take away , and the doctor end up with a whole new hole in he soul . bring tissue . +794 Movies_TV POS 5 -lrb- minor FIRST SEASON SPOILER , no SECOND SEASON SPOILERS -rrb- I love the first season . creative , witty , easy on the sci-fus -lrb- make it a bit more accessible to my partner -rrb- , intelligent , funny , touching . and the doctor and Rose be full of heart . so when they change doctor at the end , I be a bit shocked , and wonder how I could love a new doctor as much . the NEW DOCTOR Hard to believe , but David Tenant be even more amazing than the previous doctor . as exuberant as Christopher Eccleston be as the ninth doctor , David Tenant have a even wider range of act emotion . in particular , he be really good with darker feeling ; you can watch he face change as he feeling make a transition , and he can do crazy thing with he eye to convey all kind of feeling . I really be not too sure about David Tenant at first - of course , he be mostly asleep when we first see he , and it all change when he wake up . rose I think the chemistry between the tenth doctor and Rose be even better , both on-screen , and off-screen -lrb- in the excellent Confidential background clip on the sixth dvd , which MUST be see to really get a deeper understanding of all that go into make these show -rrb- . there be more to be say about Rose , but no spoiler here . I can say that she character developer over two season from timid shop girl through do-what-must-be-done to take-charge-and-give-orders-to-save-the-day . story line the story be bigger . first , there be story arc that span multiple episode , mainly around Rose and she family and friend , and they have a neat conclusion that tie thing together in a unexpected way . second , there be a few two-part episode which you think be finish , only one of the two-part episode actually break into a later two-part episode , make it really a four-part one . we be among the many who have not see the original series . fortunately , the new series introduce we to important figure like the Daleks and the Cybermen . for I , the height of the season , or one height of the season anyway , be when these two very stylized creature meet , with hilarious result . there be also a dramatic height of the season in the same two-part story , but no spoiler here . I think the episode at the beginning of the season start off a bit slower and less impressive than the first season , but as the season get go , the story get better - much better . in this season we have what must be some of the most classic episode of the whole series . hard to say , since we have not start season 3 yet . last thing to mention be Torchwood . in season 1 , we meet Captain Jack Harkness and a few actor who later go on to play member of he team on Torchwood . we see Torchwood first , so they really stand out . in season 2 , we meet one more future Torchwood cast member . more to the point , the word `` Torchwood '' be throw out repeatedly in several episode , the most important of which be when Queen Elizabeth establish the Torchwood Institute . later in the series , we see what Torchwood have become in current day London , though it be nothing at all like the branch in Cardiff that be head up by Captain Jack . BOTTOM LINE this be brilliant tv . original writing , fine acting , appeal actor . a blend of drama , humor , sci-fus , and camp . tremendously inventive in the physical production of challenging sequence -lrb- you have to see episode-by-episode background on how they make they on the sixth dvd to really appreciate what go into this work -rrb- . +954 Movies_TV POS 5 the best doctor ever on the best show on tv ! this sum it up , if you love classic Doctor who and have not have a chance to see this show just buy it ! I know you will love it ! David Tennant be the perfect doctor ! +572 Movies_TV POS 4 this be just a addition to my Disney dvd collection for the sake they be put it in the vault . I didnt think I would like it because I didnt like the second Cinderella but I actually enjoy the story line some-what ! +260 Movies_TV POS 5 my daughter and I recently catch Cinderella III on the Disney channel and enjoy every minute of it . it be a fun story without all the scary stuff that be usually a part of all the other Disney film . magic be fun , but when it rise out of the sea or appear as a evil witch try to poison the princess ... that be too much for some child . it be a sweet story and you child will enjoy it . +83 Movies_TV POS 5 it start with random episode on bbca ... then check the schedule for episode ... then set the dvr ... and now this boxed set . must admit unrestricted affection for David Tennant , but he be quite spectacular in every moment of every episode in this set . this doctor be ebullient , benevolent , witty , and frequently grieve by he responsibility and role in the universe . now , I be a english teacher and not a 12 year old boy , and I have never be much for science fiction at all . Dr. who be transcend the genre -- it be full of archetype and imagery and allusion to religion , science , culture , history and myth ... on the surface , it be lovely , fun , and thoughtful family entertainment . dig a bit deeper , watch a bit closer , and learn a bit more . I have since get two other Tennant set and be start to consider `` other '' doctor ... all this from someone who do not like sci-fus . we never stop learn about ourselves , I guess . oh , wait , that be yet another english teacher-loving theme that run through the series ! +426 Movies_TV POS 5 enemy of the state be a great action pack film Featuring : Will Smith and Gene Hackman The action never stop !!!!! +304 Movies_TV NEU 3 this be a video I wish I could love , but that just do not do it for I . part of it be sheer silliness - flubb the lip in the warm-up ? - and part of it be that Hemalayaa 's narration style bother I . -lrb- it might work for other people , but I find she to be a bit too flip . -rrb- there be the occasional odd transition , and the background dancer be sometimes do something completely different from what Hemalayaa be demonstrate , which be confuse - be it a modification for more\/less advanced viewer ? be it bad cue ? what ? as far as the workout go , it be actually pretty fun . the move might not necessarily be Bollywood , but they have get enough of the flavor to offer something different from a lot of the dance-style video out there . the move be generally easy enough for anyone to follow , although people with bad knee may find the emphasis on knee movement to be difficult or painful ; it be more high-impact than not , with a fair amount of hop in the workout proper . there be a lot of repetition , which make pick up the move very easy but which can make thing a little boring . overall , this video be a mixed bag for I . the workout be enjoyable but the narration be not , and the hop may be a bit much for a lot of people . I would recommend try to find this at a local library before buy it , I think . +791 Movies_TV POS 5 of all Walt Disney 's animated film , `` Peter Pan '' be my personal favorite . this classic tale of the little boy who never grow up have Disney stamp all over it . it also vary refreshingly from the version that precede it . in previous play act on the stage , Peter Pan be always play by a young woman , but in the Disney version he be all boy . he be brash , mischievous , more than a little cocksure of himself , able to fight and defeat a grown pirate captain , and on top of all this , he can fly . what else be need for a child 's hero ? Tinker Bell be one of Disney 's best invention . on the stage she be a blob of light flit here and there ; only in animation could she be realize as a real pixie , vain , conceited , totally devote to Peter and madly jealous of wendy . the three child , wendy , John and Michael , be very well do in the movie , and the opening family scene be priceless . when Peter and Tinkerbell sneak through the child 's window , and zoom back out again with the child in tow , we want to sprinkle on some pixie dust and fly right out there with they . second star to the right , here we come . the scene at Neverland be funny and original , and the pirate be a riot . one of Disney 's most hilarious , and underrated , character in all he film , be the crocodile , Hook 's nemesis , who can not wait to get another chomp out of he . -lrb- Poor Hook be reduce to a bundle of shattered nerve every time he hear that tick-tock , tick-tock come towards he ship . -rrb- the only negative in this film be the scene in the indian village ; the stereotype that be accept without question in the 1950 be almost embarrassing now . however , it can not and do not detract from the fun . the song be okay , nut nothing special ; it be the action and animation that make this movie . of all Disney 's animated film , `` Peter Pan '' be the one I use to wish be real when I be a child . maybe there be a little of Peter Pan in all of we . +410 Movies_TV POS 5 from the time I first see this movie as a child , it have fascinate I . I would highly recommend this movie to all child , whether 2 year or 90 year of age . it be great . +425 Movies_TV POS 5 for those of you who enjoy the new Doctor who , series 1 , you will not be disappoint with series 2 ! David Tennant take on the role of the Doctor , and do it with such finesse and charm you will be immediately suck in . Billie Piper continue she role as Rose Tyler for another season , and she farewell be truly heartbreaking . this season be full of fantastic adventure , bring in old foe such as the Cybermen and the Daleks , and introduce some new one . the doctor and Rose meet up with Queen Victoria , the Doctor 's old assistant Sarah Jane Smith -lrb- and k-9 ! -rrb- , and even take on the Prince of darkness himself . grant , there be one or two episode that I be not particularly fond of -lrb- i.e. `` fear she '' feel more like a pitch for the 2012 Olympics to be in London rather than a real episode -rrb- , but overall this be probably my favorite season so far -lrb- `` The Girl in the Fireplace '' be one of my all time favorite episode ! -rrb- . there be also hour of special feature , include David Tennant 's video diary which give a insightful look behind the scene . definitely a must have for any Doctor who fan , despite the price . it be well worth it , not to mention you would pay much more if you buy it anywhere else ! +564 Movies_TV POS 5 this be my dad ` s fave movie . I see this movie when I be in 1st grade . it be my fave . I never want to grow up then . then in 3rd grade I think the movie be a little to babyish for I . I still love it . then in 4th grade I become obsess with Dakota Fanning , then Christina Ricci , the to she character in the Addams family , Wednesday , then back to Dakota Fanning . anyway that ` s just like my life a little . but Peter Pan be a movie make for child who have a imaganation and will belive with faith . it make you mind fly off with Peter to never never land , the place be where no one ever grow up . there be a evil foe though , Captian Hook . use you imaganation and fly off to never never land and watch Peter Pan ! +130 Movies_TV POS 4 Peter Pan be a terrific film full of swahbuckle adventure , great music and heart . the dvd on the other hand be a empty experience . the only extra feature be a french language trak . not too much fun if you do not know french . thankfully I already own this film on a laser disc which have two documentary , concept art , character design concept , storyboard art , and some of the live-action refrence footage use by the animator . these be the kind of thing I want to see on a dvd release . I mean the disc can hold 4 hour on one side alone , so space be not a problem . come on Disney , get it right . if you do not already have a decent version of Peter Pan -lrb- or by some cosmic twist of fate , have never even see it -rrb- then by all means buy this dvd . but if you be look for more than the film itself you 'll just have to wait for the special edition of Peter Pan -lrb- whenever and if it ever come out -rrb- . +28 Movies_TV NEU 3 lot of action and superb and believable acting by Will Smith and Gene Hackman . the best part of the film be see the technology available by the government to do satelite spy , et al. . have a bunch of 19-yr-old do the observe , however be a bit too much of a wishful rip-off of `` sneaker . '' I do not buy it at all , even though I want to . know that there be literally surveillance everywhere nowadays , it be highly unlikely that assassin with the government would have make a hit in such a public , open place in the first place . some of the premise make sense , but it go everywhere . this film try to be too many thing , part `` sneaker , '' part `` Patriot Games '' and part `` french connection . '' it do not work . the movie be well shoot and those who be satisfy with pyrotechnics , action and spy gadget will still enjoy this film . I like it , but not enough to ever watch it again . +379 Movies_TV POS 5 Sure Disney have tackle magic storyline before : fire-breathing dragon , talk puppet and wish grant fairy godmother but in many way you can say Peter Pan be probably the most `` disney-esque '' film . it be get magic , ton of it in fact , far off wondrous world and a villain you love to hate . while it do have some un-politically correct moment and we main hero almost seem a bit too abrasive , it be also a film where you find yourself surprise at just how quickly the film pull you in . well we all know the story but might as well tell it : Peter Pan , a elfish-looking boy from the faraway Neverland visit wendy , Michael and John Darling and take they on a voyage to he world . there , they find mermaid , native and evil pirate Captain Hook who hate Peter Pan , especially since he cut off Hook 's hand and fed it and a alarm clock to a crocodile who want to taste the rest of the captain . it be up to Peter Pan and he feisty pixie friend Tinkerbell to save Neverland . what make the film so endearing be just how much you do not even care about the childishness of some of its scene . one scene I outright laugh at be the crocodile , with hook catch in he mouth , actually slap Hook 's hand in order to get a better position to bite he . then of course there be the line `` we be only try to drown she '' , a line so murderous but sound oddly cute since it come from a mermaid . the song be so catchy , the animation clean up and while it be not as outwardly colorful like Bambi or ambitious like sleep beauty , it be certainly a worthy effort and a top notch restoration as well . then of course there be Tinkerbell who be probably one of the more instantly likable character Disney have -lrb- better be since she be Disney dvd 's spokesgirl -rrb- even though she tend to be insanely jealous and scheme-y . as for its un-political correctness part , well , it of course involve the use of aboriginal people which the film call either red man , red skin , indian or injun . but worse of all be the use of the word `` squaw '' which I will tell you now : be highly offensive to native woman and I would recommend you do not say it at all . however I will admit that the explanation for why native people say ugh be quite funny . also one thing that I find surprising be just how different a hero Peter Pan be . there be time where he seem kind of insensitive to thing such as say wendy get pick on by the mermaid as `` a little fun '' and be brash . but then he be in Neverland , where you do not grow old , so I guess it be just he inner childishness at play . this be one of those Disney film that you do not feel embarrassed that you be watch a child 's movie . you can find yourself have just as much fun as the kid be or even if you do not even have any kid , you 'll still have fun . +306 Movies_TV POS 5 this be a really fun workout dvd , and totally accessible to anyone . grant , I be not a fitness guru but I do try to get 20 to 40 minute of moderate exercise most day and this certainly count . I be certain it be not the most intense kick you butt workout on the market , but it make I sweat , feel great and do not bear I to tear . the exercise be a nice mix of fun\/sexy -lrb- without make I feel trashy -rrb- and I do not feel the need to have any dance ability to get something out of it . -lrb- of course my husband be ban from the room when I do the workout -rrb- after enough time watch the dvd with the instruction , I be able to mute the sound and play some high energy music on top of it to keep it fresh and more cater to my style . I do skip a couple of move that my body do not like , but I just dance around the music instead . it be a great stress relief ! I would highly recommend this dvd for anyone look to keep active but want something a little more fun than a regular workout dvd . +987 Movies_TV POS 5 for those who have see the second season of the `` new '' `` Doctor who '' the big question will be be this worthwhile buying on dvd ? absolutely . despite have a high sticker price , the set come with commentary track -lrb- either InVision which be a video commentary with the video tuck into the right hand corner of the screen or audio commentary -rrb- , David Tennant 's video diary -lrb- which run about 82 minute all tell -rrb- , Billie Piper 's video diary as well as `` Doctor who Confidential '' episode -lrb- although supposedly these be shorter than the one that run . I can not comment on that since I never see the original episode of `` Doctor who Confidential '' as it be not broadcast in the U.S. -rrb- . we also get a booklet outline which episode have audio\/video commentary , a introduction by the producer and some behind-the-scenes photo on the last two page of the booklet . the fifteen episode include here be augment by a special mini-episode produce for the british Children in Need telethon . the show be house like the previously season with disc overlap on the inside and all of they in a cardboard fold out box with a linticular 3-d cover of the Tardis . a clear slipcase with Billie Piper and David Tennant slide over the set . fan should be aware that the flaw on disc one note in the Netflix Edition of the show -lrb- where at 32 minute into the `` New Earth '' episode the dvd shift from the first layer to the second layer of the disc and show the last half of `` the Texas Chainsaw Masacre : the beginning '' -rrb- do not appear to effect the one for sale -lrb- so far there have not be any complaint and the edition I get be just fine -rrb- . the `` Children in Need '' mini-episode should probably be watch before the first episode of the second season as a special feature -lrb- I would have put it as a episode you could select separately from the first episode of season two -rrb- but other than that BBC and Warner have do a fine job with the set . the problem with the oddly mixed audio of the first season second do not effect the second at all . for more detail and info about this season read below : the good doctor face a change during the second season of the new , revive and cgus drive `` Doctor who '' . at the conclusion of the first season the doctor -lrb- Christopher Eccleston in the first season -rrb- regenerate and end up with a different face and slightly different personality -lrb- David Tennant in the second season -rrb- . it be a convenient out for the BBC as actor come and go throughout the entire run of the series during the 60 's , 70 's and even the 80 's -lrb- with a brief visit from a new doctor for a americanized tv movie during the 1990 's -rrb- . during the first episode of the new season the doctor be all but immobilize because he absorb the energy from the Tardas in order to save he companion Rose Tyler -lrb- Billie Piper -rrb- . fan of Doctor who will be delighted with the second season of the `` new '' series . while the series could be a bit inconsistent in the writing department even the weaker episode benefit from the delightful performance of the `` new '' doctor play by David Tennant -lrb- `` Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire '' -rrb- . during the second season the doctor and Rose Tyler he companion -lrb- Billie Piper -rrb- travel to a alternate universe where the Cybermen come into be , see the return of the Daleks -lrb- yet again -rrb- , meet the Devil on a planet circle a black hole and help Queen Victoria fight off a werewolf . all in a day work with the doctor use he wit and sonic screwdriver to save the day . oh and the doctor meet Sarah Jane a companion from a previous incarnation -lrb- from the Tom Baker who year -rrb- . the menu be similar look and with similar function to those for the first season . a solid second season from producer\/writer Russell T. Davies , Julie Gardner and the rest of the `` Doctor who '' production staff , the best episode from the second season easily hold they own with some of the classic episode that feature Patrick Troughton , Tom Baker and other previous doctor . while the price for the set be steep every episode come with a commentary track , we get a nice booklet as part of the package and a solid disc of extra for fan of the show . I be hope that Torchwood eventually show up as well only because I would like to find out what happen to Captain Jack . +166 Movies_TV POS 5 excellent series ; complex , quick plotline and excellent dialog . I particularly enjoy the additional feature with background info on the actor and the actual production of the show . I first ` discover ' Doctor who in the Tom Baker day , while visit Perth , Australia , and have be a fan since . I do have to say the ` modern ' Doctor who be much more intellectual and much less chauvinistic , and of course the special effect be better .

Rinette . the story , and especially the grip opening sequence , be destine to rank with the best of all time . and bring back Elisabeth Sladen 's `` Sarah Jane '' and Tom Baker 's metallic pooch `` k-9 '' and John Leeson , the original voice of k-9 , in the story `` School Reunion '' be a genius stroke that show how thorough these producer be . it bring back alot of memory from the late 70 's -lrb- but she do say she be from `` 1980 '' in the `` Pyramids of Mars '' , touch off a date controversy -rrb- . this dvd box set would be a great way for grandparent and parent to introduce the kid to this unique and sensational science fiction character , but we Whoovians know they would really be buy it for themselves .

I project a little bit of my blu-ray Blade Runner and my wife see a little of it and comment that it look beautiful even think she do not like the movie . after a hour or so of make adjustment and check out some video material , but not directly compare it to the old projector , I be pretty sure it be good enough and want to keep it and set up a test to show my wife , and myself . I cover the right half of the new projector lens and the left half of the old projector lens and in normal bright room light adjust the picture to the same size and to a smooth transition between side when both projector be be feed the same signal . then I darken the room , invite my wife in for a comparison of the old and new without yet know myself how they would look side by side in the dark and bring up a few scene from the Star Wars episode ii dvd . between the OPPO blu-ray player feed a better quality signal via hdmus -lrb- vs component for the older projector -rrb- and the quality difference between the 6 year old projector and the new one , the difference be astonishing in term of black level , color quality , brightness -lrb- in eco mode , yet -rrb- , sharpness , you name it . it take my wife less than 30 seconds to say that we be keep the new projector ; not only that , but the blu-ray player , about which she have be quite dubious , be indeed , she now agree , also a worthwhile purchase . we shut the old projector off , remove the lens cover , and look at more of Star Wars , some of Citizen Kane , and on blu-ray , a bit of Blade Runner and a couple other odds and end . we both come away very happy . the color be much more natural and beautiful and the increase in detail be amazing . in isolation , the old projector still look very good , except for black level . but I be a little surprised at how much sharper the new one look from 11-12 foot away . I think a good bit of it have to do with the improvement in apparent sharpness due to the better black level performance . there be 4 time as many pixel , but from 12 foot away , lot of extra pixel just be not really visible , though the increase in pixel undoubtedly get extra information to you brain even though you do not consciously see a increase . with the old projector , from 5 foot away , I could see pixel on on the 64 inch -lrb- diagonal -rrb- screen . from less than a foot away , I still can not see pixel with the ae4000u except sometimes on some test pattern , but not on any program material . it be like look at film and very sharp even when view up close . a few day later , think about the very good but not perfect black level , it strike I that film do not have perfect black either . the black level with the projector be not as good as the black on my old ProScan 27 '' CRT . but the black with this projector seem to I to be as good as I have ever see in any color film with the possible exception of some -- not all -- 3-strip technicolor -lrb- tm -rrb- ib print and as good as any black and white film I have see in a print less than 50 year old . this projector be mostly for view film . so that be good enough . I go to see the Princess and the frog with the family when it be out and the theater just do not put enough light up on the screen which seriously degrade the experience . while the end credit be roll , white text on a black screen , I walk up to the front and put my hand in front of the screen and could see my shadow clearly in the black . if they have be use adequate light it would have be even clearer . image be much brighter at home and the shadow be not much different . my default set for all thing video be now 1080p60 , with 24fp enable on my Oppo bdp-83se . Fed to the ae4000u project onto a 64 inch diagonal 9x16 screen , excellent dvd material , like Star Wars , episode ii -lrb- specifically scene 15 return to Naboo , which I have use as a test scene -rrb- , really do look near hd . it be not as sharp as blu-ray or 1080i or 720p broadcast , but it really do look very good , enough so that I be not highly motivate to replace many dvd with blu-ray disc . I may change my mind when I get a 92 inch screen , but have stand up close to the screen and compare blu-ray and dvd upscale and at 24fp with the Oppo blu-ray player -lrb- bdp-83se , which I have also review -rrb- and the ae4000u , I suspect that I will not . I should also note that view on other upscale dvd player , dvd do not look as good as they do on Oppo bdp-83 or bdp-83se . Make no mistake , blu-ray look better , but with this system , blu-ray 's biggest advantage be high definition sound instead of Dolby Digital 's lossy compression . I do plan to buy most new disc in blu-ray , but I do not plan to replace many old one unless for its for soundtrack upgrade . that say , I do upgrade North by Northwest , with its wonderful Bernard Herrmann score , and there be a handful of other I would jump at the opportunity to buy on blu-ray for a sound upgrade . I also show virtually everything I watch with dynamic iris off and at the standard Cinema 1 set for 6500k color temperature -lrb- for black and white or color -rrb- , and I find that in general the color be gorgeous and very evocative of the experience of view movie in a good theater where the management be really dedicate to a quality view experience -lrb- a attitude that be all too rare in movie theater -rrb- . and dvd from Technicolor -lrb- tm -rrb- original source , like the classic Warner Brothers Adventures of Robin Hood , really do approximate the experience of 3-strip technicolor -lrb- tm -rrb- nitrate original . so movie at my house often look better than in theater . I think that have a player capable of output 24fp be very important and significantly upgrade the experience watch film base material . some recommend it only for blu-ray and `` very well author dvd . '' I use it on all dvd and and infrequently -lrb- not at all on many movie and , usually not more than 1-4 time per movie -rrb- I get a black frame at 24fp . I suspect this occur when the player or projector loose cadence momentarily because of a improper edit point on the dvd . but the overall increase in how realistic movie look be well worth a occasional black frame . if the room be brightly light and what I have on be ordinary tv that I be not much interested in , I will occasionally use the Dynamic setting , which throw more apparent light on the screen , instead of Cinema 1 . but if it be something I care about , I 'll darken the room and watch it in Cinema 1 . this be a excellent projector . buy this and and Oppo bdp 83 together at list price be a incredible bargain and will keep you happy watch and listen to movie on dvd and blu-ray for a long time . and over-the-air high definition broadcast in 720p or 1080i both look better than upscaled dvd . Update 6-29-10 : for a while I have be conscious of this but I think I would write it up fresh tonight . I just watch a Netflix dvd of Blindside tonight and on the Oppo use upscale to 1080p through hdmus with 24 hz dvd playback enable and through the Panasonic AE-4000 set to frame creation mode 1 -lrb- the least processing above no processing -rrb- on a 65 inch screen at 10 foot , I really be not conscious that I be watch a dvd rather than a blu-ray disc . during the credit it be easier to tell , but watch the movie it be not . this be the same setup I use for virtually all dvd playback , and as usual there be a small number of black frame , a very small price to pay for such high quality view through this incredibly synergistic pair of instrument . with these 2 component , watch all of Blindside , a few minute of the Searchers blu-ray and 2010 blu-ray and then a few minute of the Blindside dvd again , there be not a lot of difference in image quality . I suspect with more magnification , for example with 2.35-2 .4:1 scope\/panavision movie blow up to the same vertical size , the difference will be much more apparent , because of the much higher resolution of blu-ray . but dvd look awfully good on this pair . that say , watch part of the same 3 movie 5 foot from the screen -- the equivalent of watch on a 130 inch screen from 10 foot , the Searchers clearly look better , as well it should , have be shoot in VistaVision -lrb- essentially 70 mm -rrb- . the difference between 2010 and Blindside be more subtle , slightly in favor of 2010 , perhaps not as much as it should be with real 1080p instead of 480p upscale to 1080p . but most significantly , the difference be subtle , not blatant . 6\/25\/11 update I receive two comment recently , to which this update be a reply . since write the review , I have have the projector well over a year and have upgrade to a 92 inch ceiling mount motorized screen . I still mostly view television about the same size as I use to -- 65 inch -- but for movie on dvd or blu-ray I use the full screen . the improvement of blu-ray over dvd upscale to 1080p 24 be considerably more noticeable on a 92 inch screen than on a 65 inch screen , but good dvd still look remarkably good . at 92 inch pixel on content be still invisible , but on test pattern still , you can see they if you get up close -- that be how I fine tune focus when I change screen size back and forth between tv and movie size . if I get a larger screen , I would have to move my Magneplanar 1.7 s out of they sweet spot and I would have to find a new place to put the projector . so my screen be stay . but , I be sure it would do a very nice job on a still larger screen . the Panasonic be such a fine and versatile projector that one would think that with a software upgrade , and perhaps a outboard infrare transmitter for either the projector or the blu-ray and a pair of glass , this ought to be a fine 3d projector , and I hope that someone at Panasonic be think along those line . but otherwise I have no immediate plan to replace my trusty old Oppo bdp-83se , which still put out remarkable quality sound and picture or this projector . but maybe someday I will get a bdp-95 if I become convinced it sound significantly better . I recently have some friend over to watch the blu-ray of Fantasia 2000 . the picture be not as big , but it look and sound better than when I see it a decade ago in a real IMAX theater -lrb- not one of the phony little one that pass for IMAX these day . -rrb- sound and picture both be less distorted , better focus , and clearer , more detailed , and more natural . this be still a very fine projector . oppo bdp-83se - Blu-Ray disc player - upscaling - black +558 Projector POS 4 when I plug it into the wall and into my computer -lrb- a ibook -rrb- , it work instantly . genuine plug and play . the menu control , while intuitive , be a little difficult to navigate . I may have to look at the manual . the focus be sharp ; the zoom , while a little limited to suit I , work easily . I plan to love use it . the first time be wonderful . I really recommend it ! +69 Projector NEU 3 projector work great but it only show 4 x 3 picture format . no 16 x 9 . Easy to install and use . +722 Projector NEG 2 not bright enough for use with light on . Poor battery life -lrb- and further dimming when on battery -rrb- . cheap packaging -lrb- China , Inc. -rrb- and no case and no remote . need a odd mini-hdmus cable -lrb- also not include , and you likely will not have it -rrb- . return in exchange for a small LG projector , very glad I make the switch . but the device be adequate , it will project a low resolution image . +593 Projector NEU 3 the product work ok , but instruction be poor and there be no iphone cord adapter -lrb- reason i buy it -rrb- and the sound from my laptop would not play through projector . +813 Projector NEG 1 this be only a very basic item and not intend for use to project for even medium size audience . the light be very weak and have difficulty project much further than 8 foot . +325 Projector POS 5 Reviewer `` michaeldavidsj '' complain that he be expect a more sophisticated remote control for this projector . `` michaeldavidsj '' would prefer a wireless remote -lrb- like that use for tv -rrb- rather than the standard hard-wired Kodak remote that be connect to the projector through a electrical cable terminate with a plug that must be plug into the projector . if `` michaeldavidsj '' have the wireless remote that he want , he would have to divert he eye from the picture on the screen , so that he could turn he body and aim the remote at it be receiver on the slide projector -lrb- in the dark -rrb- - every time he want to change to another slide . what a monumental distraction and inconvenience this would be for the projectionist when try to enjoy a slide show at home ! fortunately , this procedure be not necessary with the standard hard-wired Kodak remote . aim a wireless remote for slide projection at home be different than for view tv . with tv , the viewer face both the tv screen and the receiver for the wireless remote on the tv . with slide projection in a typical room at home the projectionist\/viewer face the screen but almost never face the receiver for the wireless remote on the projector , because the projectionist be view picture on the screen and be often located to one side of the projector -lrb- except when sit right behind the projector -rrb- . a wireless remote be useful for a speaker\/projectionist in a large room -lrb- such as a auditorium -rrb- when make a presentation to a audience , because in this case the speaker\/projectionist face the receiver for the remote on the projector while face the audience . I would never purchase a wireless projector remote for any application other than such a presentation . +984 Projector POS 5 this be a great projector . we place this in we church worship center and shoot it on a 10 ' wide screen . the color be bright and sharp . we order the wpd-100 and be hope to gain even more vertisility . for the price you will not find a better projector . +109 Projector NEU 3 i have yet be able to get the state hour out of any projecter bulb . i use low power setting , clean the screen and fan monthly , etc etc. can anyone explain why these bulb be so overprice ? be they make with some sort of rare element find only in the rainforest ??? lol . sombody be make cash off these dlp bulb , that for sure . +634 Projector POS 5 its small , quiet enough , cheap enough , tough enough and get the job do . can project a 200 inch image with no loss of image clarity or quality in light controlled environment . I love it . +573 Projector NEG 1 work great the first day and by the second day it lose color and third day it be completly dead . +183 Projector NEG 1 purchase the ex51 model from a office store retailer . after 9 month and only on it be fourth use , it quit ! no power whatsoever ! Office store say have to deal with the manufacturer and they would not exchange it . Epson would only replace it with a USED model , not a new one . Said that be the only choice I have . extremely upset with the product and especially Epson service . Stay away from this product !!!!!! +552 Projector POS 4 I use this porjector instead of a tv in my bedroom . I love it . I think it be perfect for the price too . for some reason the remote do not work well at all , I only really need it for volume . the internal speaker work just fine for the sound . Works for I ! thanks ! +716 Projector POS 4 I think this be very good product for the money be a little disappointed when my tray do not fit - however - it be only two tray and the rest all fit so check the tray size \/ type and it will be a great product for you Love the auto focus - also stick occasionaly but slide be all old so the happen - with all projector I think +557 Projector POS 4 First off , this be only a good , but not great , projector . with the way projector price have be fall , there be other option for less that deliver comparable performance . the Sanyo z5 , for example , cost several hundred dollar less and actually produce a sharper picture as well as include twice as many digital input as the Panasonic . I buy this model last September and have already have to send it in twice to get fix . in fact , it be on its way to the repair center as I be typing this review . this be not a isolate incident either , many pt-ax100 owner have be experience problem just like mine and it be clear that Panasonic do not spend enough time\/money on quality control . go read through any hdtv or projector forum for a laundry list of issue regard this projector . the decision be up to you , but I would advise people to look elsewhere if they want to avoid a potential headache . +385 Projector POS 5 over the past four and a half month I have find this projector to be a great asset . it be clear and bright , easy to setup and adjust when need , and automatically adjust for keyston - I be not sure how it do it , but it work . it be lightweight and easy to carry around with all need cable and remote in the provide bag . view image from a usb stick be a breeze , though it be limit to JPEG image and it would be nice to be able to run PowerPoint slide from the usb stick . I use the HDMI cable to connect to my laptop , but there be VGA and RCA type input for when other need to connect . I do have a problem after about four month of regular use - the blue channel be lose completely , turn everything a horrible shade of yellow . one quick call to Epson -lrb- they include a priority support number and code for fast access -rrb- and they ship a new model overnight . I then simply put the broken one in the box they would send and ship it back free . this be immensely helpful to someone who use a projector regularly and need a broken unit fix or replace in a day . between they excellent printer and projector , and they outstanding customer support , I be become a Epson fan quickly . +19 Projector POS 5 - I upgrade from 720p , hc4000 have extremely noticeable higher resolution - do test a few other 1080p projector in $ 900 - $ 1500 price range all pale in comparison to pq of hc4000 -- have Pretty straight forward menu , easy install , light weight - black unit color be a important feature for I to blend with black ceiling , there be small amount of light leakage from top of unit which would reflect on floor if turn for ceiling install but not a huge deal with bigger screen , I be use 110 '' reflective . fan noise be audible in silent movie scene if near unit but otherwise the value of a bulb last for 4000 -5000 hour and a breath take picture be worth any minor flaw . find it under $ 1499 - buy and enjoy you wont regret !! +887 Projector POS 4 this be a good projector in every way except for one minor annoyance - it keep search for signal by auto switching between various input when the source signal be interrupted for any reason . there be a set to lock source , but maybe I be not do something correctly because the setting do not work . there be a firmware upgrade available , have not try it out yet , maybe that will fix it . other than this very minor issue , very satisfied , be be bright enough to watch during the day . there be some common initial tweak like set the lamp to standard , and adjust contrast etc to get the ideal picture . I pair this with the 3dxl , and now use it to watch 3d and 2d . I get a separate sound bar , do not rely on the internal speaker . when watch a movie , the fan noise be not audible at all -lrb- I guess it depend on movie volume -rrb- , but it do give off heat . without a ceiling fan or air conditioning , the room feel warm . my screen be 100 inch , you can see one of my other review for the screen that I pick . for the price point , this be a great projector , I do not feel that I miss anything by not get the next higher Optoma model . +694 Projector POS 5 I be very impress by this little projector . it will not take the place of the multi-thousand-dollar home theater projector , but if you be plan on use this around the house , you 'll be please . the first thing I notice be that it feel fairly lightweight , but the build quality be still good pretty good . it be not swim with input port , but it have one of all the basics , so it be nothing a adapter or splitter\/switcher can not fix . I run the hdmus to a receiver that provide the extra port I need for my Google TV\/XBox\/etc . , so the lack of extra hdmus port be not a issue for I , but it be something you 'll need to be aware of . I do not have a screen yet , but have be project against a fairly flat\/smooth offwhite wall . with the light off and the shades draw , the output be pretty impressive . the bright color be vibrant and sharp and the dark area be nearly as dark as they can be while be project against a wall in a room with some light bleed from outside . Air quality seem to be important too , we living room be near we kitchen and when we be cooking and there be smoke or steam in the air , even a bit , the light get a little more scatter . it be not a huge deal and you 'll probably only notice if you be look for it , and it be not unique to this projector , though a projector with better black will reduce this a bit . when I get a actual screen and seal up the blind a little better to reduce light come in from outside , I 'll update this review with my thought . I be a little disappointed that it be 720p , but at the distance you 'll use and watch it , 720p be adequate , especially for what this item cost . I do not know if upgrade to another projector at 1080p for $ 300-400 more be actually worth it . this thing also run very quiet so far , I have have experience in the past with projector that sound like they be cool with leafblower , so this little guy have be pleasant . all-in-all I be impressed with the power of this projector , especially for the price range . +958 Projector NEG 1 this projector work fine for two month and seem like a great buy . then it stop work . it will work from ten to thirty minute and then the screen go black . since it last more than 30 day , I can not return it for a refund . the seller do not respond to email . theoretically it have a one-year warranty , but what good be that ? the manufacturer be in China ! the seller be in Texas but do not respond . another thing : once you buy this thing , where be you go to get replacement bulb for the projector ? you do not see they on sale at Amazon , do you ? consider buy a use projector , that originally have a much higher price , on eBay . that be what I 'll do now . but watch out for the high price of replacement bulb in that situation , too . +458 Projector POS 5 this product be better than a tv . portable , user Friendly , Great Quality , i like it very much and i use outdoors or indoors +698 Projector POS 5 very good product ... I it recommend I great taste . very good quality , I come rapidly and he quality be surprising . . I like it . . excellente imagen ... de verdad recomiendo su compra es muy bueno +142 Projector POS 5 it be a pleasure do business with the folk at Slide Central . they provide good info , the projector arrive pronto & it work ! thanks +994 Projector POS 5 for a pocket projector this thing be astounding . I use it every day here in Afghanistan and I still can not believe the picture quality from such a small device . I be able to hook it up to my laptop with out issue with the VGA adapter and the HDMI cable which sadly do not come with the product . the portability of this device be incredible I plan on have it in my bag with my net book where ever my travels take I . the only real issue I have with this be the lack of a on button on the projector , but I no problem take the 2 seconds out of my life to press the on button before I use it . +847 Projector POS 5 I be use this for work presentation . great image at 10 foot ! fit in the palm of my hand . this pack away nicely in a carryon . +57 Projector POS 5 I open this box with less than high expectation ... I only need it for a few small art project , and at the price I be not expect much . but I pop in my sd card and turn the light off and to my surprise there be a clear , bright , BIG image on my wall . Ummmm ... WOW ?!?!? I be go to mount this in my baby 's room when she be bear and play movie with it . I definitely reccomend this item ! my ex 's high def projector be barely any better than this . it be seriously awesome . +403 Projector POS 4 if you be in a situation where you have ambient light , or a large screen to fill this projector fit the bill . the important part be the six segment color wheel . a lot of dlp projector with this type of light output will cheat and use a seven segment wheel . the Seventh segment be white . that increase the brightness but wash out the color and ruin the contrast . those that be sensitive to DLP `` Rainbows '' will be very happy with the image quality . the projector support vertical and horizontal lens shift -lrb- critical for properly align the picture to the screen -rrb- , however it be a manual stick on the front of the project . zoom and focus be also manual by move two large ring around the lens . the build quality of the case be middle of the road , which be fine for fixed installation , but I would not recommend travel with it . give the price point of thousand less than compete projector those be fair compromise . +782 Projector POS 5 I mostly use the projector for video game , but it be decent for movie as well . it be no Epson , and it lack in the ` option ' department , but for a little over $ 200 , I can not complain . I currently have it project a 90 '' screen , and it look good at that size . +298 Projector POS 4 this thing be amazing ! great resolution , compact and excellent build quality . the on-screen menu and micro sd slot be all welcome addition . I put on a episode of top Gear in HD on it and another officer on my ship watch comment its as good as he flat screen at home . my only complaint be the lack of ipod adapter , extra battery -lrb- both of which come with the pk101 -rrb- and the video encode software . the software take a 600mb . mp4 file -lrb- that the projector say be not support -rrb- and increase it to 1.4 gb ! I recommend use HandBrake -lrb- it be free -rrb- , use the iPhone setting and bump the resolution to around 640x352 -lrb- what I have the tg episode play at -rrb- . aside from that , I be very happy with this projector . +187 Projector POS 5 I be new to the Home Theater world so I be no expert . I have be do research for about 2 year on basic construction and various piece of equipment . my budget be limit so I need to find the best bang for the buck . I recently build a 26 by 11 theater room in the basement . there be only one small window in the room which I plan to cover . I purchase a Sony VPLBW7 projector from best buy for $ 799 . I be look at the pull down screen and frame screen as they seem to be the most cost effective solution . I look at gray screen and white screen . I finally stumble onto this one . there be one review and it seem to fair pretty well so I take the chance . I be pleasantly surprise . the instruction be not all that detailed but you get the idea . a little common sense will see you through the installation . a little trial and error will get you through the adjustment . just make sure you do one stop at a time and remember which direction you turn and how many time . you 'll know what this mean when you go adjust the stop . the setup come with 3 remote . one be the hardwired conference room wall mount type with the up , stop , and down button mount on a ugly box . there be 2 wireless remote as well . one transmit ir signal and the other rf signal . not really sure why but I guess the rf would be use if you mount this in a place where infrare can not transmit -lrb- in a ceiling case or behind a short header wall -rrb- . I love be able to retract this so the kid can not get to it . I love be able to hit a button to raise and lower the screen just for the `` wow '' factor when we have guest . the picture on this be beautiful . color be perfect . operation be flawless so far . the combination of this screen and the projector have put I around $ 1100 -lrb- with tax and shipping cost -rrb- for a picture that be almost 7 foot on diagonal . movie be awesome and watch the game have never be nicer . well worth the money . +111 Projector POS 4 with it be 2000 lumen and sleek black casing this projector rock ! the color saturation be one of the best that I have see in it be price range . it also have a 4000 hour lamp -lrb- in eco mode -rrb- and be very quiet . the only disappointment be when you play xbox360 in hd 1080i resolution the image do not fill the whole screen , -lrb- it be like watch a wide screen dvd movie w \/ the black bar on top and bottom . -rrb- this be due to it be native resolution . for the price I feel that it be a very good investment and would recommend this to anyone who enjoy video game , sport and movie . +687 Projector POS 5 if you be look to spend under $ 700 for a hd projector then look no further . this small fellum be a power house and produce a picture that to the average eye , rival a projector that be 2 or 3 time the price . yes its natively 720p , but it can play 1080p content at a scale resolution . the picture quality be very , very impressive . be sure to change the default setting because out of the box it need to be tweak a little . there be plenty of projector\/av forum on the internet that you can search that suggest the best setting for brightness , contrast , etc. . it make a huge difference . ive have mine for 8 month now and its still on its first bulb -lrb- with about 1000 hour of use -rrb- . the unit be small compare to other model which make it more discreet and ideal for use in a living room or bedroom . do yourself a favor and get one of these instead of a 50 + inch tv . I be now watch hd content that measure 10 foot diagonally - everybody that have see it have be blow away . I also recommend that you buy a screen . it will still look great project on to a white wall , but you really do not get the best out of it until you use a dedicated screen . I have a electric power screen with a high-contrast gray finish -lrb- as oppose to the more common white finish -rrb- . it make the black much deeper and improve the contrast dramatically . the gray finish be ideal for anybody who do not have a dedicated home theater that be ` black out ' and have completely controllable light . with the gray screen I be able to use my projector during the day or with the light on . its a win\/win situation because even at night -lrb- or the darkest I be able to get my room -rrb- I still get deeper black and more vivid contrast . anyway enough about the screen , if you be in the market for a hd projector and want to spend under $ 700 then you cant do better than this . +103 Projector NEU 3 I order this projector new and when I get open it up and turn it on it have a black spot in the middle of the screen ! I think at first it be the screen it self but no it be inside the projector on one of the plate . when I buy something that say new I want it to be new ! I would return it but Im in Afghanistan and the shipping cost make it not worth it ! +737 Projector POS 5 so far , so good ... work just fine , and everything be as promise !! thank you . great value in a very timely fashion !! +501 Projector POS 5 to all the be consider buy this projector !!!! buy it !!! do not worry about the fact it do not have a hdmus input ! buy the converter vga to hdmi -- you can buy the converter for $ 4.87 on ebay.com or $ 7.99 on overstock.com -- this will give you full hd . I use the projector directly on the wall . it have a excellent picture . it beat my 3d benq . all projector over 2000 lumen should be good with light on . the acer with 2700 lumen be fine . if you do not have the converter you be only cheating yourself out of the best performance out of you projector . resolution : native : svga -lrb- 800 x 600 -rrb- no coverter . Maximum : uxga -lrb- 1600 x 1200 -rrb- . Maximum wide : 1080p -lrb- 1920 x 1080 -rrb- with converter . I think I should receive a sponsership for this comment . next be my question . I buy this acer and a LG 3d blu-ray home theater when look to make the movie 3d do I look for glass & a kit compatible with the projector or the blu-ray ? look for answer from anyone else that have a mix-match set that be CURRENTLY get 3d movie to work and not game +188 Projector POS 5 my son buy this for himself and have be very happy with the quality of this product for the decent price he pay . +261 Projector POS 5 Super projector . cool i love it and just 200 dollar be worth to spend on this product . now we have so much family time togather as well as i can play video game movie new tv everything on that only . +611 Projector NEG 1 this projector be not worth you time , put you 80 $ towards a better machine . the bulb blow after six to eight movie worth of use , the fan be quite loud , and the color be off . the resolution be so low that video game text be unreadable and detail be blurry . we have try various image size and distance from the wall , it simply have too low of a resolution to display text or detail appropriately . there be no keystone setting , so the projector must be place in a straight line , directly across from the wall , and the plug be very short , so projector placement be a issue . I would not put this in a child 's room either , as the bulb blow if the unit be knock , and the unit produce a lot of heat . you would be better off spend a few dollar more and get a projector that will not require constant bulb replacement and provide a sharper picture . +82 Projector POS 5 I just love this projector ! use it for Movie Night under the Stars ! Easy set up ! it be a great product for the price . +184 Projector POS 5 I have over 200 hour on this projector and it be awesome . I have a dvd player and a VCR -lrb- for cable -rrb- hook up to it . the dvd play great and look amazing while the regular cable be so-so . I will have many hour of enjoyment from this purchase and my family be amaze . the only thing that a bummer be no dvi or hdmus input . I have a upconverting dvd player and can not use the better technology . but all in all I be extremely satisfy with my purchase , a Amazon.com have be great to purchase from over the year . +48 Projector POS 5 it work ok , but for the price I would go buy the one from apple . at time the connection be lose . it be a little sensative . +583 Projector NEG 1 i just get my `` new '' projector today and the thing be already break and i want to call customer serve but no one work on the weekend anymore . plus i have to pay to ship the broken projector back to lonestar . +104 Projector POS 4 I purchase this primarily for business use on the move , but have use it for movie too . I have connect it to my MacBook pro but have yet to use it with my ipad . it be fairly easy to get set up but would benefit from a better ` get start ' guide . everything about this projector have be scale down include menu , button and typeface in the accompany manual . the test run with the Shawshank Redemption , a old favorite , be first rate with a superb quality image ; you need to draw the curtain but otherwise it give you the full movie expereince . I think I be get a remote control include - but apparently not ! have yet to decide if one be need . come with a nice quality case for the projector but leave you with usual issue of where to carry lead and charger . +909 Projector NEG 2 the Qumi be a well conceive Projector but be premature and over price . after the projector warm up it be not possible to get a clean focus top to bottom or side to side , a standard -lrb- trr -rrb- av cable will not work for composite video as a proprietary cable be require and be not supply at the moment . also not supply be a component cable do not bother call tech support for technical information they will not give the pin out for the minus av jack -lrb- tip sound , ring sound , ring ground , Sleeve video -rrb- it be hard to believe in the advertising about 720p as 720p blur look like ldtv -lrb- 240p -rrb- look ok if you be half blind 5 Star price for a 2 Star projector with focus problem because of the float focus this negate the projector great feature and make it over price by $ 150 to $ 200 do not get I wrong this be a nice tech toy but for $ 499 it should have a uniformed focus , it be one of only two job a projector have to do . in today 's economy I try to get the best value for my hard earn cash and have become more critical of product that struggle to keep up with the brand name and message . wait six month to a year the market will be flood with similar device at the right price point . so Shop wisely Shop Amazon Vivitek Qumi q2 300 Lumen WXGA HDMI 3D-Ready Pocket DLP Projector -lrb- Black -rrb- +376 Projector NEG 2 ive own this projector for a 2 month and now the bulb over heat and it shut the bulb off and go to emergency cooling mode . I call amazon and they say I need to call Benq . I will update with they response . the color and option be great but surely I must have a defective bulb or unit . I use it to watch 2 movie and to project art on a wall . I might have use it for 7 hour max before I run into issue +162 Projector POS 5 this be my first screen projector I purchase and I love because it give you a theater look and feeling . but , the only flaw to the projector that be throw to the screen be that it be hard to adjust to the size and you have to keep position the projector . the screen be not the problem it the projector throw so buyer beware to make sure you know the size of screen because if the projector do not throw right on the screen it will appear off the screen slightly or to much off the screen . once again it be not the screen that be the problem it be the projector that have to throw the image . other then that the screen be wonderful and I love it . for better imaging it be best to mount the projector in the ceiling for better throw . other then that I can not wait to use it outdoors !! +824 Projector POS 5 first , I use this with a Mitsubishi HC 1500 DLP projector , which be a great first projector -lrb- i get it in my initial foray into home projection -rrb- , and which Amazon offer as a deal with this mount . if you be think of go the front projector route , this be a good deal\/pairing - all you need be a good-quality screen and a 5.1 system and you be ready to rock . this mount work fantastic with the Mitsubishi hc1500 -lrb- which be a 3-screw upsidedown mounter -rrb- - i be extremely impressed with its steadiness , now that it be up on my wall and hold my projector . as other have note , the direction to this mount be pretty confusing\/worthless , but after look at the instruction , and the box , and some on-the-fly experiment , i basically have the mount together -lrb- attach to the projector -rrb- in about 10-15 min . then maybe about another 15-20 min to get it up on the wall and do some fine-tuning of the joint and setting -lrb- i.e. centering\/height , image invert , correct keystone , etc -rrb- . the really good thing about this mount be that it can move in several direction , on several axis , so it be very versatile and will work with either a ceiling or wall situation - just find a wall stud or a beam and you be in business . I actually mount the bracket on my wall , instead of my ceiling , due to the weird layout of my screening room . the allen screw really hold firmly once you tighen they - this be a lightweight yet very solidly construct mount . hat off to whoever engineer this thing . tip : when you install , it definitely help to have 2 people , as fine-tuning the joint may require loosen more than one allen at a time , so someone may need to steady the projector as the other tighten the allen screw . but it be a minor point - once this bracket be up , it be up to stay and there be no question in my mind i get the right mount . highest recommendation - it really help I pull my screening room together in a quality way . +809 Projector NEU 3 I purchase this projector in oct 2011 directly from Aaxa . I be a teacher work in two school and I use this projector nearly every day . I connect my iPhone 4 and ipad 2 to it and also play video file from the internal drive or a flash drive , mostly successfully . the spec be the best in this category at the moment , and the design be good . there be a few detail that other reviewer have not mention , however : \* the fan noise be more than noticeable . it be actually a little annoying . \* the power button be situate such that the p4 can be switch on in a crowded bag pretty easily . \* the button be not very responsive . my feeling be that this be more of a system software issue than a purely hardware issue . button click frequently get no response or a delay response . I feel like the system software be not quite ready for prime-time . \* while it be impressive that they include any sort of internal speaker , it be only usable in a very quiet environment and then really only for speech . there be really no point at all to listen to any sort of music track with it . if you plan on use headphone , then you be fine , but if you need to run a cable to a pair of external speaker then you be lose the cable-free benefit of a battery-powered device . if you do not mind plug it in for power then you might as well get a brighter pico projector . \* the p4 do NOT mount properly on any external computer , and I have try several Mac and Windows machine . the manual say very clearly that it should be able to do this . when connect via usb , it might mount for just a moment , but then it will immediately unmount or produce some kind of error message . I have have absolutely no success transfer file directly from a computer to the p4 . when I contact they support staff about this , I be tell that I should put my file on a flash drive , and then move they from the flash drive to the p4 . this be very disappointing and inconvenient . -lrb- be other user have this problem ? I would like to know . -rrb- \* transfer file from a flash drive involve go into Windows CE , which require the additional purchase of the little usb keyboard . the keyboard be pretty cool , but it be somewhat expensive , and because it be so small , it be awkward to use . \* when copy file , I have frequently have weird anomaly where the p4 seem to think there be two copy of the file , with slightly different directory path , and it give I error message that it be unable to find the second file . irritating ! \* Video playback always start with the first video in you directory , require you to stop playback , go back to you directory listing , and select the file you want . \* although the internal flash drive be 2 gig , the operating system take up a great deal of that , so there be not more than a couple hundred meg onboard , and that be not much room for decent-quality video . I have not try use a sd card . \* the color reproduction , even on a flawless white wall in a dark room , be mediocre at best . there be a few setting to adjust the color , most of which be totally unusable . my expectation be not that high , but I would not want yours to be , either . \* the p4 do not sync as readily via VGA as you would expect . if you cable get jerk out , you can not just plug it back in . you 'll probably have to manually re-sync it or possibly restart the p4 . \* the battery do not last more than 70 minute . none of these issue be substantial enough for I to return the unit or recommend against buy it , but they might matter to you , depend on you plan use . the basic utility of the p4 be massive , although the shortcoming be constantly annoying . I look forward to future unit from Aaxa , where we 'll hopefully get 120 + lumen -lrb- laser drive ? -rrb- from a longer-lasting battery , better and more adjustable color , and perhaps some kind of wireless a\/v streaming . but for now , this be a very handy and useful device . +133 Projector POS 5 I have be very happy with this projector after about 2 month of regular use . it have the feature I need . I would strongly recommend use a hdmus cable instead of a analog one if you source have a hdmus output . this digital cable be pricey -lrb- ~ $ 30 -rrb- , but blow away what you 'll get from , say , a VGA cable from you computer or a component video output , which be analog and thus `` dirty '' . I have my projector suspend upside-down from the ceiling use a $ 20 mount kit and project onto a white wall . the specific setup mean I do not have to keystone the image , which degrade some of its quality . the 11 ' screen size turn my apartment into a great little theater for entertaining friend . I block outside light and keep area lighting limit , which mean I can use the `` Eco '' energy set all the time and still have good quality . one benefit be that the Eco setting be quiet , whereas the full quality setting require the noisy fan to be run in a way that be slightly annoying . in my opinion , the full quality mode be not that much better and mean you 'll probably wear out you bulb out in about half the time , so it be just not worthwhile for I . I be a amateur photographer and often review slide show of my picture on the `` big screen '' . I really appreciate the automatic adjustment the projector go through as the image change . one moment , we may be see a brightly light photograph that the projector have well balanced and then , when it switch to a dark-room shot , it gradually adjust the brightness and contrast to emphasize the subtlety of it that be a bit muted at first . the shift be almost unnoticeable and take a couple of seconds . the result be much appreciate by this enthusiast because it behave as though it have even more color depth than be possible with the physical device . the remote and menu system be simple and good . I can just aim at the wall instead of the device , which be not a give with some device . the `` source search '' button be appropriately the most prominent one , after the power button . keyston seem the next most basic part of set up , especially for people who move they projector around a lot for business , so it be nice that the device and remote make this really easy . I almost never need to use the menu , otherwise . the bottom line be they make the most common feature easily accessible and the menu easy to navigate and understand . although you can use this projector as a tv , keep in mind it be not `` cable ready '' . it have no tuner . you can get a analog tuner with a remote control -lrb- e.g. , mygica SuperColor HD TV Box Video Converter Box I use the mygica box with basic analog cable use a VGA cable connect it to the projector . the quality be pathetic , but that be not the fault of the Mygica or Epson . one of the only thing that be disappointing at first be that there be a usb port and hint online about a way to stream video through it from you computer . this model do not support that ; the usb port be for plug a usb -lrb- `` thumb '' -rrb- drive in for a instant slide show of still picture . the video stream would have be nice , so I would not have to physically switch the HDMI cable between my Blu Ray player and pc , but it be not part of my purchase decision . one more significant disappointment be that there be no way to output audio to speaker or a amplifier . the small built-in speaker be no good for a home theater , so I be probably go to end up pay a couple of buck for a hdmus splitter and then possibly $ 40 + for a digital to analog adapter so I can plug in speaker . the rca audio plug on the back of the device be for input of audio , which seem of dubious value . I would have greatly appreciate this be a direct out from the digital to analog device they have to build into it to begin with . one of the thing I pay special attention to be lamp life . the fact that this one have a long project life and be relatively cheap to replace be a big selling point to I . think about this like when you be consider the $ 25 printer that have $ 50 ink cartridge you have to replace monthly . +618 Projector NEG 1 the instruction be next to incomprehensible , and if you have a projector that only mount with 3 hole , there be no instruction on how to do it -lrb- hint : you have to remove one of the mount arm and re-mount in the center position -rrb- . after I go through all of that , I find that the center pole be attach to the bracket at a angle and I could not loosen it to straighten to a 90 degree angle , and this make it next to impossinble to get it positioned correctly for the screen . this would not have be so bad , but mount bracket also have no yaw control -lrb- horizontal rotation -rrb- , only roll and tilt , which be not good for precise postioning . I end up have to get a optoma bracket -lrb- more expensive -rrb- to mount my hd20 projector . +912 Projector NEG 1 my unit be manufacture April 2011 . I think that , be lead , I would have one less source of problem ... I be right , since the lead do not die . but the unit stop work in the middle of a movie . since its DLP , i think that the spot on the screen be due to the mirror stick at a specific position . I be not sure what go wrong , I never use the audio of the unit , but the day it die I decide to plug the output of the cable tv receiver -lrb- a\/v out -rrb- , and use a headphone . but the audio be intermittent , like something be digitally mute it on low audio level ... now , after power it up , only appear some ` random ' bright dot . no drive mount on the usb -lrb- maybe try a firmware update might bring it back to life -rrb- . by read other post , and watch how many question samsung actually answer on they site , i know my headache be just begin . +923 Projector POS 5 well , there be many place that provide the specification , but if you after someone 's personal opinion , I would say it be second to none projector . the picture be crisp and sharp . you have to realize that not every dvd will exhibit the best picture , but if the movie have be compress with the good quality you will be delighted with the performance of this one . I do not regret even for a second for the money I spend on it ! +67 Projector POS 4 receive my dg-747 today . very impress with the hook up . be easy to hook every thing up and start use it . it be high def , the computer hook up need a good video card to get great picture . very well pleased with the picture with just use the dynamic preset setting . have not try fine tuning yet . the only problem I see so far be the focus could operate smoother . bulb can be order from lone star so far they have answer all my email politely and promptly . and you can reach they by phone . will add to my post as need . +860 Projector POS 5 these be great projector ! high quality and last a long time ! Great for indoors and outdoor movie . I use it everywhere ! +219 Projector POS 5 well first let I say that i be like most of you read this review try to see if i really want to get this projector . I be just a normal 24 year old guy look to get a good deal and i really base my purchase off most of the review and spec . so i 'll list a few of my personal con and pro . bad news first . con : - it be 3d capable but in order to get 3d work on it you have to buy a additional piece - a zoom feature would come in handy in a lot of situation . - sound on the projector be like either break on mine or really really bad . - Lens cap do not fit -lrb- and i have a 1 year old who love touch it , this be easily fix by get a cloth to wipe it off -rrb- . pro : - the picture be simply awesome . - I manage to hook up my ps3 to it and it be great . - I have cable hook up to it -lrb- through s-video cable -rrb- . -lrb- side note : you need a cable box to hook cable up to the projector and you 'll need to buy either a s-video cable or the red\/white\/yellow cable to hook up to it , i be sure other would work but i \* know \* personally those do . -rrb- - the short throw feature i find nice as my projector be about 8-9 ft away from the wall and my picture be over 100 inch . - during the day time with the windows\/curtains open you can still see the picture well . I be really enjoy this projector . whether it be ps3 , cable , netflix , or the pc it surpass all my expectation . I would recommend this to anyone who be think about get one . I mean honestly if you spend 600 $ on a tv you would get 42-48in . where as this you get 100 plus hd -lrb- 3d if you want to shell out the extra 300 and then you be still get a cheaper deal than a 3d tv -rrb- . play blue ray flawlessly . I love this . if anyone have any question by all means ask . oh one quick stupid thing i do . I accidentally spray compress air -lrb- try to clear dust out of it -rrb- into the front vent while it be on . it cause a loud pop noise and a mini explosion -lrb- fire include -rrb- and it cut off . I think that be it for the little fellum but gladly it come back on when i let it sit off for a little while so 2 thumb up on that ! +257 Projector NEG 1 I buy the projector in December 2001 . the projector have some quality problem . lamp explosion : the original lamp that come with the new projector be explode after about one year of use -lrb- about 400 hour -rrb- . it occur when it be project a movie without any indication . other user also experience lamp explosion with the projector . Difficult-to-Turn-On Problem : the projector have problem with start up the lamp . most of the time , when I turn on the power switch of the projector , the fan will start immediately , but the lamp do not light . it do produce some encouraging sound-the noise one hear when the lamp turn on . if you switch off the projector then switch it on again , the lamp might start . however , the problem now get really bad for I . almost every time when I try to use the projector , I really have to switch on\/off many time in order for the lamp to show any light . Service problem : right after my lamp explode , I send the unit back to Infocus . Infocus change the lamp and clean the unit for I . but the difficult-turn-on problem get worse after the service . I call they several time , the technician tell I that they do not know the cause and suggest that I try to switch off and on to solve the problem . it do work . but what a strange way to turn a projector on ! this hard to turn on problem be really annoying , so I call infocus again . the technician refuse to explain what the problem be , and ask I to send Infocus us$ 999.99 so that they can take a look at it . of course i do not send the projector back for they to take another look . I ask Infocus if they know any technical flaw with the projector , and I be tell that there be ` none . ' so apparently Infocus do not know why the projector have this difficult-to-turn-on problem . therefore , they might have the same problem with other projector also . Summary : the Infocus lp 350 have quality control problem , I do not recommend this projector . apparently Infocus be not aware of the problem ; other model might also have this problem because they share a lot of part and design . I would definitely avoid Infocus . mike +885 Projector NEG 1 this projector be good until the pixel start go out a few month after watch . it be not worth purchasing . the projector look good , but the pixel will die out fast . +87 Projector POS 5 yes , you need a dark room and white backdrop , but it be awesome . i put this in my bedroom hook up to Dish and to my computer . i play blu ray through it from my pc on arcsoft tmt or powerdvd and it look great . you have to put it on video mode and it will look good . i have it at about 140 '' and it look great . i have 7.1 audio and that with this projector play a bd make my room feel like a personal cinema . dark movie like harry potter 7 part one look fine but you must adjust the lighting in TMT to get it bright enough to see everything . it be very good for only be 170 buck . it be all i need to have for now , i love it . plus like i say , it hook up to my dish tv so i watch tv on it and it be better by far than my tv . I would say if you want a big screen and dont want to waste a thousand buck on a full hd lead flatscreen get this for a 170 buck and have a 140 '' screen everyone will love !!! +916 Projector POS 5 I have have this for a few week now and use it for XBOX , XBOX Kinect , PC , Apple TV , and Google TV . I have also use it with Nvidia 's 3d nvision . play pc Games , in 3d -lrb- with a XBOX controller -rrb- be pretty sweet . I be project on a white wall in the basement and that seem to be fine for I -lrb- may do a special paint on the wall later -rrb- . even in daylight or with the light on the image be great -lrb- kinect isnt doable in really low light so some light be necessary -rrb- . movie night be a blast . I have pc speaker hook up to it with a sub so it sound great also . build in speaker be ok for a quick and dirty but you really want to hook up speaker . I ceiling mount the projector and I be still try work out the cable management but that setup be a snap . very happy with this purchase . if you have a question , leave a comment , and I can try to answer it . +888 Projector POS 5 I buy this screen to host a Super Bowl party because it will be project in the living room with plenty of ambient light . watch sport and movie on my exist taupe color wall be fine at night but wash out in the day . I get this screen because of the 1.3 gain rating . after some research , I discount the smell comment -lrb- only 1 -rrb- , discount the poor delivery rating -lrb- again only 1 -rrb- , discount the edge problem -lrb- minor and unavoidable for size of rollable screen -rrb- and pull the trigger . the screen be deliver with a `` silver '' service from the seller , nice touch . they bring it into the house and offer to unwrap it but after inspect that the packaging be undamaged , I elect to unwrap it myself . the screen be well insulate with 2 layer of foam and the box edge be reinforce . mount the screen be a challenge by it be sheer size , 12 foot wide and the precision require to get the screw into the exact location but that be not a design problem . it be not any different from mount blind or window covering , really . Performance wise , I be completely satisfy . one corner have the slightest tension deformity that I expect to lessen with time as I leave the screen suspend for a period of time . the curl edge be present on both side but marginally so and really only be on the black border part and not on the white viewable surface . the motor be really quiet and it take less than a minute to deploy the screen 79 inch . nighttime viewing be fine , the 1.3 gain be not as good as the 1.6 gain I have on a previous screen but will definitely allow I to have a great Super Bowl party . there be a slight chemical \/ paint odor if you stand within 4 inch of the screen and purposefully sniff it , but it really be a non issue unless you be extremely sensitive and have poor ventilation . +622 Projector POS 5 I be thrill when I see the price on this lamp - much less than any other I would see . the service be great , and so far , the lamp be work perfectly ! +944 Projector POS 4 I have own my projector since September 2004 and have not experience any problem with it yet . I have about 2200 hour log on the bulb so far and the brightness have not go down from what I can tell . it project well onto a white wall , but I want a more movie-like experience so I build a 90 inch screen to project it onto . like one of the other reviewer , when I go to turn off the projector it sometimes act like I hit the button twice , but since I be try to turn it off anyway I do not care . never have the problem of accidentally turn it off before . the remote be quite thin so it be hard to hit the button to accidentally turn it off . overall I be quite happy with it . I have take it around to my friend 's house for the superbowl and other event since my place be too small for a large gathering and it be a quick setup . the picture quality be still quite good in normal lighting so I do not have to close the blind every time I want to watch tv . I would recommend this projector to anyone on a budget . for the price it can not be beat . +956 Projector POS 5 this be the first home projector I have buy for use in my house . have a 47 '' sharp aquos lcd and want the opportunity for a `` bigger '' experience . buy a favus 100 '' diagonal electric screen and the 705hd . I run a home theater pc , Wii , sony blu-ray and cable box through a Denon avr-888 . these be split to either the tv or projector . the projector be great for play game , even with the light on . it be worth every penny , especially in a brightly light room -lrb- or one with a lot of window -rrb- . the kid love it and we have all kind of tournament -lrb- sport game , madden football , etc. -rrb- when they friend come over . for movies\/cable , it take some adjustment to get this thing right . it be really bright by default -lrb- great for bright room -rrb- but this do not help black level -lrb- the screen I buy also have some gain to it -rrb- . after adjust the display mode and then tweaking the color setting , the picture be very good . I will not rate it as excellent overall -lrb- my sharp still look a bit better with blu-ray -rrb- but for the price\/value factor , it can not be beat . watch movie on a 100 '' screen be outstanding . my total cost for put this together be $ 770 for electric screen and projector . with a little bit of adjustment , this projector be excellent . I be not a hd snob or anything like that . I enjoy entertainment that work at a reasonable cost . hence , I buy the 705hd and it have not disappointed I at all . plus I do not have to worry about DLP color wheel problem , etc. . for those of we in the real world on a budget , this be a great bargain . highly recommend it +270 Projector POS 5 this be a fantastic little projector it do just what it be mean for , on the spot presentation when you do not have access to a full size projector and you need to get you point across , this be the thing . people be surprise by what it could do I certainly be , I have my power point on a flash drive , prop this little baby up on a couple book have eight client in a little office and they be impressed . I just do not leave home without it . +838 Projector POS 5 walk up to soothing sound instead of BEH BEH BEH BEH BEH ... AMAZING !!!! power have be interupt a few time , and no worry on my part , babttery back up will always work . set it and forget it . : -rrb- this clock have all the option one would need . +126 Projector POS 4 I order this to replace a elitescreen 100 '' pull down screen I be use . the screen itself be nice quality , although you notice when you pull it out there be some `` bubble '' in the screen towards the bottom . almost like a piece of paper that do not quite unroll right . with a piece of paper you can push out the wrinkle and it look right , but with a screen you can not hold those `` bubble '' out . it be hard to describe , but I place a light weight on the edge of my screen -lrb- clamp from garage -rrb- and after a week or so the bubble work it be way out . I leave mine down all the time . also the clip on the top you can place on hook be flimsy and if turn right will fall out . you can tell it be not as nice of quality as say a elitescreen but it be good for the price and it be the smallest screen I could find . I recommend it for other . +514 Projector NEU 3 just a quick one on this projector mount . it be so customizable and so adjustable , it be actually a weakness . the product itself be well build and go together well , however the quick release at the bottom of the pole be not precisely cut -lrb- a couple of mm out -rrb- so I find my projector hang a little to one side so I have to put a weight on the other side to balance it out . I be thinking of take it somewhere to get it weld and fix into position . I be only use one of the section of pole , and when I have to adjust some setting on my projector , the whole thing wobble a bit , I would hate to think of what it be like with the full pole extension . overall , a very flexible product , possible too many `` option '' be to its detriment . it be also a creamy color , not white . Cable management be good . also come with a lot of screw for every different type of projector . I have have this for almost a year now , but will be change it soon to a shorter , direct ceiling mount -lrb- possibly the same brand because they be good quality \/ great value -rrb- but this particular one might just be too good . . it be bad . this mount have hold a Panasonic AE4000 for I . +560 Projector POS 5 I will say this without any hesitation , I have not have a single problem with my projector and I have have it for 6 year . when I see so many people say they have bulb problem , I can not help but to think that they must be turn the projector off without allow it to cool . at the moment , I be at 2943 hour and I have have no issue what so ever . I allow the fan to cool the bulb before I turn it off . that be so crucial . the picture quality be great , especially in hd . I will not say it be as clean as a plasma screen tv , but if you have the space , you can have a screen that be big as any wall in you house . I build a screen that be 77 inch . the picture be stunning . the fan fade to the back as you be watch . it be quiet enough to forget it be on when you be watch a movie . the only issue I have with the projector be that the connection be odd . you have to find a 16 pin cable that connect to the rbg rca cable to connect to the dvd . most store do not carry these but you can find they on ebay . just for the record , this projector be great in my book . just follow the instruction in order to maintain the life of you bulb and you will be fine . +340 Projector POS 5 the projector cost more than I would normally spend , I be work part time as a youth director , publicly fund , as the economy be in poor shape the amount of donation have severely drop . the projector , although expensive , work exceptionally well , and will view well on less expensive , lower quality screen . I opt to purchase the Pyle higher quality projector and a less expensive screen to manage my budget . over all , completely satisfy in this well work projector . +206 Projector POS 5 I read a lot about how the packaging on the product do not provide adequate protection for the projector screen during shipping . the company must have read those because the packaging might have be able to stop a bullet . the item arrive in perfect condition even with some dent on the box from shipping . the screen itself have no wrinkle or crease . go up and down very easily and I pair it with a optoma hd20 at a throw distance of just over 15 ' and it look awesome . I could not be more excite with my home theater . I highly recommend this screen . it really stack up compare to much more expensive fix frame screen . +437 Projector NEG 1 I recently buy this projector to replace a 5 year old projector that be start to go out . I travel and give recruit presentation on a weekly basis , and need something small , light and easy to travel with . this projector be definitely small and light , but it be make out of cheap plastic part that I could see break with frequent travel . I decide to hook it up and check it out , and be sadly disappoint . I think the LED bulb be go to be great , but it be so dim that you need to be in a fully dark room to see , and the image quality be horrible . one part of the screen be in focus , and the other part be not . when you try to adjust this , one part get in focus and a new area go out of focus . there be also no keystone feature , so unless you plan on put the projector perfectly center on you screen , you will always be skewed and unfocused . Got this product day one and send back already . buyer beware , you get what you pay for . I be convince from the first two review that it would be ok , but apparently they have never see another projector , because this one be terrible . I do not even check the speaker , because the image quality be so unusable I have to send back immediately . spend some more money and get a quality projector . +303 Projector NEU 3 this be a tough review because this be the first projector that I have purchase . I be really blow away by the absolutely beautiful , breath-taking image that cover my ENTIRE Green wall , but I end up have to return it for some of the follow reason . when it arrive , the seal look broken , the monitor cord be miss and a rbg to monitor cord be in its place . the native resolution be 800 x 600 , on my computer , xbox and cable output . THERE WAS no usb port ! which mean that you have to by the custom optimum toggle for $ 123 if you want wireless . and you will want wireless because , you have to set you projector in the center of the room , on a cart or heavy duty tripod . the sound be poor from the projector but I be able to plug in a speaker system into the headphone jack . too many wire come from my tv , wius , x-box , sound system , plug , cable , to the center of the living room with little kid run around for my comfort . if you do not mind use a cord , you can reduce it by purchase a multi-port hdmus switch for around $ 15 . the other problem that I have be the focus be really tight . there be no fine tuning and it be all manual . beware that 3d ready do not really mean that it be 3d ready . that mean you must have a computer with a strong enough graphic card that put out 120 hertz . x-box and blu-ray 3d be not currently compatible until a new $ 400 part come out that will have to be add on later this fall or sometime next year . then , plan to pay extra for the 3d glass , over $ 100 a pair , and possibly a special 1.3 to 1.4 hdmus conversion cord , depend on which website you review . the last problem be that this be not very portable , although it come with its own backpack , which be really hip for teen-gamer ! the projector itself be very flimsy make of cheap plastic , I would not trust it in the backpack from be crush or bang around , and I sure would not trust a teenager with it . the lens cap be useless . it do not twist on and will not stay on . I would be worry about it slip off and scratch the lens in a backpack or any type of travel . the size of the gt700 be quite large , it fit in the entire backpack , although it be light due to the cheap plastic wrapper . I give it a three , because of the outstanding image , which would be a five ! but the flimsy , dollar store plastic wrapper , and bulky size would make this very non-portable to business traveler . for the build , I give it a one . if you be live in a really large home , with a huge wall , and can mount this from a extended projector rod where ceiling fan , or light fixture will not get in the way , then this may be the right projector for you . this would make a good projector for a school or business if it sit on a portable cart , or on a board table . the light be quite bright and impressive in the daytime . +369 Projector NEU 3 simple enough mount to figure out but be warn , no instruction . there be no bolt , all screw just thread the hole in the aluminum and the allenhead be a bit oversized for the wrench . this result in easily strip out either the hole or the screw head . I need to use a hacksaw to cut down 6 '' on both piece to make it flush to we drop ceiling . it be up and hold the projector in place so as long as you go easy on tighten thing down it should do the trick but you may want to spend a few buck more and look for something a bit more `` solid '' . +636 Projector POS 5 other negative review might possibly be from people who buy a former model , I do not know . all , I can tell you be that this thing be completely awesome . we projector at work fail and I use this and everyone in the room flip out . we be not in total darkness , and the picture -lrb- especially text -rrb- be super crisp . in total darkness , it be obviously even better , beyond word . at home , hook up with a very hard to find hdmus to Mini HDMI cable from a dvd or blueray player yield a absolutely phenomenal and huge picture . everyone i show this to have a jaw-dropping response . +651 Projector POS 5 I have have the pt-ax 100u for about 3 year now , and I have have the same problem with the iris that several other have comment on . Panasonic be no help and want load of money to repair the unit . of course , it be out of warranty as well ! so instead , I do a google search and find several home `` fix-it '' solution . basically , the iris mechanism have to be re-lubed with some oil after about 2 year of use . I fix my projector in about 20 minute -- and im not technically savvy either . if I can do it , I guarantee anyone can ! as far as the the bulb , I have easily make it to the 2000 hour mark with excellent video quality . I still think this projector be a fantastic bargain ! +411 Projector NEG 1 I purchase this unit , and it run well for 500 hour . after that the ballast begin to fail , just a few month out of 90-day warranty . now it be at $ 600 doorstop . many other people have have trouble with this projector die on they ; just google around a bit . avoid this model , and cheap Infocus projector for that matter ! +745 Projector POS 5 check many other screen this size and they all be at least $ 100 more . screen arrive on time , do have someone help I put it up . screen be big and heavy and do require 2 people to install . require a stud finder . screen work great , very quiet , and the quality be really good too . Watch movie on it all the time . Got 2 remote with it which work from 20 + foot . get the deal at -lrb- ... -rrb- +966 Projector POS 4 well , I finally receive a new bulb replacement . as I mention in another review of a similar product from another company , this be my second replacement bulb in a year . I decide to try another company this time and so far so good . no problem install it . take less than 5 minute , if that . the picture be great , however , I have this yellowing stain imprint , which I believe be from the other bulb . I be research this and will update in the future when I get a answer . nevertheless , the bulb be work well and be please with it so far . hopefully , this will last much longer than the previous one , which be less than a year old . I plan on update the status of this review in the future , in hope that this will benefit those look for some good insight on this bulb . let 's hope it all good from this point on . +index Domain Label Rating Review +68 Projector POS 5 I be quite impressed with this projector , I need one that will project a fairly decent image in dim -lrb- but not dark -rrb- room and this one work well . I have watch some tv on it and a few movie . in a fairly quiet room the build in speaker will actually suffice . the picture be fairly decent for the money and certainly quite watchable . it accept a hdmus input , though output appear to be sd quality rather than hd . the unit look well make and come with most of the require cable , the HDMI be not include but can be find on amazon.com for a few buck . for the price it really be a bargain and please to watch , easy to set up and though the fan be noticeable , it be not bothersome to I . it do seem to get a little on the hot side but not excessively so and be not a concern at all . it have quite a few adjustment that can be make include sports\/cinema mode etc. . the remote control be very handy and make most adjustment , be careful not to lose it . I buy a low end 60 '' x 60 '' proctor screen and this greatly improve the quality of the image . though a white wall work , the white projector screen make quite a difference if you can afford another $ 40.00 go for it ! I really can not knock this projector , it be not high end and it do not pretend to be , it give you a lot for you money and seem to be well make . a economical way to watch a movie on a wall -lrb- the whiter the better or a screen -rrb- without spend a lot of money ! +541 Projector POS 5 great product for view dvd and other video source on a big -lrb- 100 '' + screen -rrb- . Projects the best -lrb- movie house like -rrb- picture with a component out , progressive dvd player . buy the special component to VGA cable - it be worth it . Picture will rival plasma and projection tv . Projects a image that will make you think you be in the movie ! the unit look very modern . vibrant and accurate color , bright image , low fan noise and little pixelation -lrb- none if you set the lens a touch off focus for a softer image -rrb- make this a excellent and cost effective way to start a home theater . Picture be very competitive with the Infocus x1 , however the Epson have no rainbow problem -lrb- it be lcd -rrb- which contribute to eyestrain and fatigue . I have see they run together and I prefer the Epson image overall . the Epson have color saturation that be second to none . bulb cost very little too . Team it up with a home theater in a box system and start charge you friend admission ! +182 Projector POS 5 this be a great product , well worth how much it cost . I use it on almost a daily basis and work great for blu ray movie and video game . would definitely recommend this product . great picture on the xbox 360 and if you have a wius , get the hi def cable and you wont be let down . the only reason i give this a 4 star for image re . be because i didnt buy a screen for this projecter , but still look amazing on my wall +936 Projector POS 4 the product arrive as promise on time and pack well . install lamp into projector and do have a burning odor when it start up , but seem to be work fine and odor go away . we will see if it last ! if it do it be a great price ! +960 Projector POS 4 very solid design and construction can handle a tremendous amount of weight . a little tricky to tweak the angle but once you have they you can lock it down with little worry of the thing get loose . +150 Projector POS 5 have this screen for about 5 month now . awesome product . everyone be surprise about how economical this screen be , but same quality as the expensive one , and more low profile than a lot of the competitor . +693 Projector POS 5 I would say that this be a pretty nice screen . for the money that i pay it worth it . nice picture and easy setup . +22 Projector NEG 1 my pt-ax100u 's iris break after 10 month of use . 8 month after the iris be replace , the new iris break again . since so many people report this problem , Panasonic must recall this projector . +116 Projector POS 5 I probably would not own a projector if I have not find this one so reasonably price . we use it to show movie outside on a 13 ' x 25 ' custom make screen and inside on the wall 8 x 12 . although we have find this projector do best with the animated movie because of the vivid color . +704 Projector NEU 3 although it do the job represent , the camlock to hold the screen in position be very flimsy and during the second use I have to shore it up to prevent the screen from fall down . +915 Projector NEU 3 the projection be very high quality for the price , but to put it on a large screen you must be about 20 foot away from the screen , therefore require a longer video cord that the 6 ft one provide . +700 Projector POS 5 this product do everything it be suppose to do very well , I would recommend it . the projector I be try to mount have its mount location in the strangest place and this mount be able to be adjust to where it need to be . +934 Projector POS 4 Color accuracy be fantastic in Theater setting . the pixel fill\/smooth screen design eliminate any screen door effect or video noise , regardless of distance . even so the image remain sharp . a 106 '' diagonal 1.0 gain white screen in a dark room be push the limit in Theater mode . use a smaller screen -lrb- 92 would be great -rrb- or increase the gain -lrb- 1.4 -rrb- to keep the bright plasma like `` pop '' . contrast in general be excellent , but absolute black level be lack -lrb- a shortcoming of all reasonably price lcd projector -rrb- . in a light controlled room the widescreen black bar be very obvious . watch predominatly dark movie -lrb- descent , Underworld , etc. -rrb- really show the limitation of the black level . the headlamp in Descent give enough light to open up the auto-iris , result in a dark gray glow from area that should have be pitch black . even in scene of complete darkness , with the Iris fully close , the screen light my room with a gray luminance . reduce the brightness control and increase contrast do not help . to I this be not a minor defect , but a major distracting limitation of the technology . at this price point you can not have everything . on a reasonably size screen the Panasonic come close . if you can live with black that be good but not quite black then this be the projector for you . I return the Panasonic and be save for the new JVC rs40 when it hit the market December 2010 \/ January 2011 . dk +388 Projector POS 4 I purchase this for a friend who love to see video game on large screen so this make a perfect gift for he now he spend less time with we +589 Projector POS 4 I buy this projector last year and its still go strong . I do extensive research look for a 3d projector . the first issue I discover - it be nearly imposible to get a 1080p 3d projector under $ 10k . if you do not want to future proof you purchase and do not need or want the 3d , you should look at a 1080p projector . you will not really see a major difference until you get over 50 inch . at 300 dig . inch , it be noticiable to the trained eye . with that be say , the 3d function work flawlessly . you can even use it with content that be not originnaly code in 3d via use power dvd 11 -lrb- awsome program that convert dvd , video -lrb- avus and wmv -rrb- and even picture to 3d . -rrb- the Acer brightness be really good . I gennerally run it in eco mode becuase it save energy and cuase less eye strain . Standard mode be very bright . Standard best for lightly light room . the projector can connect to any source -lrb- hdmus , component , rca , dvi -rrb- the not so good : it can be rather annoy that when you change from one channel to another on you cable box the the projector reset -lrb- you get a blank screen for 5 sec . -rrb- to readjust to the signal for that particular channel . i.e. go from 4080p channel to 1080 p channel . add to that , it reset the projector back to standard brightness mode . also , in 3d mode , a blue instruction box pop up when you change the content . the remote control could definatley use some quick key function . what concern I the most about the remote control be that the projector itself do not contain any command button . so if you misplace the remote control there be no way to change any of the function on the projector . you will only be able to turn it on and off . major flaw in my opinion . verdict : Great value for this projector . I be very happy with the product and would highly recommend . since the price decrease as of late , I be consider buy two more for a surround 3d set up . -lrb- if you dont know what that be , look it up , its crazy -rrb- +397 Projector NEG 2 this system sound pretty good -- for a three channel system . we have a rectangular room with reasonably reflective surface , but the surround feature of this unit really do not work at all . the center\/left\/right front channel sound good , but surround be non-existent . do not buy if you be look for something with surround . I be not satisfy ; it be go back . +543 Projector NEG 1 I purchase this projector after read a favorable review in a computer magazine . when I try it out , I fail to properly plug in the power cord all the way . unfortunately it come out when I move the projector to adjust the picture . it take only a few seconds to figure out what have happen and to plug it back in , but the device do not survive lose power . the internal get so hot that component go up in smoke without the fan properly cool down the lamp . Amazon quickly send a replacement unit . I call Acer support the next day to get a opinion on this issue . the question that I ask be : `` what be the expected result when there be a power outage while watch a movie '' . I spend 2 hour on the line with India , without get a answer . the people I speak with recite the manual , which I have already study . the same magazine that originally recommend this projector publish a note a couple of issue later that describe support issue at Acer . the projector require a firmware update because the original firmware do not remember configuration setting . this can only be do at the factory , but customer report that they projector come back without any update do . I like the projector , it be bright and crisp and quiet . I can not comment on the 3d capability - I do not purchase it with the intent to watch 3d content right away , but I want to have the option in the future . Update after 15 month of ownership : I have have the projector store away in its case for most of the time until recently . the lamp have no more than 20 hour of use when I install on the ceiling of my newly finish basement for more frequent use in a home theater setup . three day ago , a white pixel appear . since then , several new white and black pixel appear on a daily basis , and I now have over two dozen . it will soon be no longer usable if pixel keep go out at this rate . the basement be clean , air-conditioned , and a low-dust environment . from what I read , replace the DLP chip be cost-prohibitive and the projector will become e-waste ater a little over a year with less than 100 hour of use . I be downgrade it to one star . my picture look very much like the one show in this thread : -lrb- ... -rrb- and base on the number of post there be seem to I that this be not a unusual problem with Acer projector . +779 Projector POS 5 screen be a simple install . move up and down with ease . this screen be perfect for a large room . not all that heavy , but you will need a strong ceiling . Picture be clear and the screen size -lrb- white area -rrb- be great for at home movie . +241 Projector POS 5 we take movie watch seriously at we house , and when I purchase this projector , it be a big hit . we be watch it on a white sheet and the picture be still really good . no complaint and all be good . +566 Projector POS 5 I recently purchase a refurbish BenQ 6100 from Tiger Direct for $ 749 , and be very happy with it so far . the picture quality render from my Panasonic s47 progressive scan dvd player be excellent , especially with the component video-to-vga -lrb- or `` VESA '' -rrb- cable in use . with a pricetag of less than $ 1000 , there be absolutely no reason to spend thousand more on a plasma screen tv whose view area be appreciably smaller than the 6100 's typical project image , and whose picture quality may not be appreciably better -lrb- than the 6100 -rrb- . you just can not beat that `` at the movie '' feel of this projector , either . my wife and I relax with `` Friday Night Theater '' now , at the end of the work week . it be just a nice way to get close , share a big bowl of popcorn , and be romantic again ! oh , and yes , I do see the `` rainbow '' effect from time to time , although my wife do not . it be too infrequent to be a significant source of distraction to I , and I just chalk it up to the develop technology . the 6100 employ a 3x speed color wheel . I have read that the 4x speed color wheel virtually eliminate rainbow altogether . when benq release a projector with price and performance comparable to the 6100 , but with the 4x color wheel , I would certainly like to try it . if you have , and be willing to spend , the $ 1000 for a home theater projector , and you videophile tendency be moderate -lrb- my downfall occur in the realm of the audiophile -rrb- , then the BenQ 6100 be `` just the ticket . '' UPDATE : 08\/21\/2006 correction : BenQ falsely advertize a 3x color wheel . the 6100 offer only the 2x . also , the 1500 lumen brightness be more like 700 -- more false and misleading advertizing . in addition , after about 400 hour -- spread out over the last 2 year ! -- I be notice a flicker on the screen that appear to be get more and more frequent . benq suggest that -lrb- a -rrb- I try another view mode -lrb- I only use the `` economy '' mode to save bulb life , so change it be sure to shorten bulb life -rrb- or -lrb- b -rrb- reseat the bulb . so far , I have try -lrb- a -rrb- , but I still see the flicker . I now pray each time I see the flicker that the bulb will not fail . that be 400\/3000 or only 13 % of advertized bulb life -lrb- !!! -rrb- and I be probably witness imminent bulb failure . know what I know now , I would never have buy the pb6100 projector . I would have spend a extra $ 400 and get the comparable InFocus unit and no doubt would have at least as good a picture and a lot more bulb life to spare . `` Buyer beware '' be the word of extreme caution here . benq should be take to court on this one . talk about a good purchase go sour ! sign the Color wheel speed Falsification Petition online . +784 Projector NEU 3 I try out multiple projector on the market . 1 . the Rio . 2 . the Acer k-11 3 . the Lg and the fourth one the Vivitek Qumi . the Rio be a cheap build device and with absolutely no customer service . the other all have good customer service if you need to reach they for question . or perhaps warranty issue and repair in the future . in my adventure with these projector the Qumi by Vivitek stand out far more than the other . but do carry a higher price tag . but you get what you pay for . the Rio to I be nothing more than a cheap toy . it do work but if look for a quality image and quality build with cut edge technology Qumi be the guy . the Acer be good for the money . the Lg be no match for the Qumi it be only slightly better then the Acer but much more in price . if you want a toy . go with the Rio . if you want one that be good and price moderatly then go with the Acer . the Lg be to pricey and not much better than the Acer . the Qumi be the best but most expensive and leave the second best lg in a distant 2nd . if anyone have question about detailed thing . Feel free to ask I or leave a comment . +279 Projector NEG 1 this be my second Panasonic projector . the first one start turn blue after about a year and a half . this one , in addition to have the iris problem which other have already describe , have turn yellow in the middle after 1000 hour . I be not a smoker and I clean the filter regularly . I will not buy another Panasonic projector until they can produce a product that do not fail after a year . +278 Projector POS 4 I buy this projector largely on the basis of cost -lrb- about $ nz1000 cheaper than anything equivalent -rrb- and be generally please with it . the lightness of construction be a bit of a worry : I be use to Sanyo projector with magnesium alloy body but this have a plastic case and part such as the plastic height adjustment leg do not look too robust to I . the remote control be tiny , and provide minimal functionality . my old Thinkpad , use for run the machine , lack a usb port , so I can not work the computer mouse through the projector remote , but the remote be so tiny and fiddly I would not want to anyway . but although at first sight it all look a little flimsy , closer examination show it be well put together and so far , it seem quite hardy enough . it be certainly very light . there be a basic but useable soft case . set up be easy and the documentation be excellent . focus and zoom be only manual but in practice this do not matter and in fact I find it faster and easier than electronic control . there be limited connectivity : enough for one pc and 1 video but that be all i -lrb- and I think 95 % of user -rrb- need and I will not be rush out to buy the optional enhance connectivity module . the image quality be very acceptable . for powerpoint presentation the image be clear and bright , and can be use in a very well light room . text in 20 point Georgia -lrb- gold on blue -rrb- could be read from more than 50 foot away . although it be only svga I have project word and Excel document quite readably to small audience . Video be adequate . the video image lack some of the color depth and contrast of other projector , even one with a lower ansi-luman rating but it be smooth and quite sharp . overall , a very adequate , easy to use , basic projector that do the job and at the price , be very good value for money . +180 Projector NEU 3 this mount work , it be not exactly over engineer or pretty , but it function as describe . its basically a aluminium plate with a omni-mount type ball mount affix to the top and some screw to hold it to the projector . even a high-school kid in metal shop could manufacture this , but when it cost under 30 dollar , it be hard not to give it a go . I purchase my hd66 for around 700 buck . I do not feel like shell out about one third the purchase price of the projector just to mount it to the ceiling ! for those with a hd66 , this be certainly a better solution than have some know-it-all jerk in a blue shirt with a yellow name tag , try to sell you a overprice `` spider mount '' that be not even make for your projector . and as for its look : when you be watch a movie or play a game ... who care what the mount look LIKE ? I be satisfied with mine . +349 Projector POS 5 I need a projector . since I be a speaker , I travel , so I need a small , packable projector . I read the review for several different small projector and settle on the Optoma pk301 Pico Pocket Projector . it have the balance of feature and size that seem to make sense , plus the price point be certainly reasonable . when it arrive , I be shock at how small it be . read a measurement be one thing - hold the tiny projector in my hand be quite another . when I connect it to my laptop and turn it on , any doubt about picture quality be immediately put to rest . this tiny projector pack a punch ! small enough to travel in my handbag or computer case , it be go to be the tool that go with I everywhere . +586 Projector NEG 2 so the question to the answer be elite hand down . I be happy to say that i love this screen . i have the 125 spectrum electric and it be awesome . love the the black casing . look very home theater like , and look fantastic in my theater room . favus white just do not do it for I . White case be distracting and stick out like a sore thumb . after try two FAVI screen and receve they defective , i give up and go with the elite . right out the box it be perfect . operate as advertise . leave the screen down for a week and as the manual state , if have line across . be not really any of that anyway . I know have 125 '' of glory . Avatar actually look better on the elite than the FAVI , even though the FAVI have a 1.3 gain and the elite have a 1.1 gain . 1.1 gain . the electric lowering of the screen compare to the favus be whisper quiet . favus be noisy and when retract near the end give a loud shreak go into case as be it be too tight and have no more space . elite have a 12 volt trigger , favus do not . in order to receive the rf remote , you have to purchase one which be not a big deal to I since I will hookup the 12 volt trigger and will lower when projector be power up . elite be a clear winner and the price point be perfect and well worth the money . favus and elite price be about the same . now do not get I wrong , thr favus do a pretty good job , but the defect just ruin it for I . elite just seem better build of of a higher quality . I hope this help those who be on the fence . buy it and you wont regret it . +294 Projector NEU 3 beware that this be a Budget projector with lot of connectivity include hdmus and have ok speaker ! I buy it for my parent outside US and they need a big screen to watch movie . the reason for pick this model be 1 . cost -lrb- single most important factor ... compromise on the resolution -rrb- 2 . lead lamp 3 . Voltage regulation -lrb- 220-240v -rrb- . as compare to non led lamp , there be no issue of change the lamp for this model . the manufacturer state 20,000 hr of lamp life . test the follow input : VGA with laptop , a\/v with dvd player , hdmus with upconvert dvd as well as xbox 360 . pro : - Budget - lead lamp - build in speaker work through HDMI port and have decent sound - Power brick indicate 110 ~ 240v input con : - please bear in mind that the native resolution be 640X480 ... downgrade resolution from laptop , or any input device connect . if you be look for a higher quality image then this be not the product !! - require some dark room ... just depend on how the light source -lrb- background or external -rrb- be located and the intensity - Power brick look and feel a little cheap - all function work through the remote -lrb- if you loose the remote then you be doom ! therefore -2 star -rrb- - product quality -lrb- i.e. the construction material , plastic material etc -rrb- feel very cheap -lrb- you get what you pay for : -lrb- -rrb- - the cooling fan produce noise -lrb- same level of noise as some of the bright lamp projector -rrb- . do not expect this product to be quiet ! other thought : - purchase at $ 250 . we target be that this projector last for watch at least 100 movie -lrb- ~ $ 2.5 projector cost per movie -rrb- . already watch 10 movie so far and clock around 10 hr of Xbox gameplay . - if you can afford to spend a little bit more ... then try to go for at least 1024x768 NATIVE resolution in projector ! - I will not recommend any projector below 640x480 resolution even for those who have very stringent budget ! +985 Projector POS 5 the picture be great , I be really impressed . this by far beat my first projector , that I purchase last year . +290 Projector NEG 1 please do not be fool , this be not a high def projector , and if anything break , you only option will be to throw the product in the trash . the picture compare to those cheap cartoon projector from the toy store . the bulb last up to a month , and be around 25 dollar to replace . you would be better off with a flashlight and a piece of color cellophane . +253 Projector POS 5 I wait until this screen come down to under $ 200 . it be worth the wait . I follow advice from other review that heavier mount anchor would be require , but this be expect . the only thing that be unexpected be the odor of the protectant that be use on the screen by the manufacturer , but I be sure it will disapate over time , and only noticable when the screen be down . other than those item , the screen perform just as advertised and be a great value . +292 Projector POS 5 this technically be my third projector so I be experience in projector . my InFocus Screenplay 4805 have reach 3000 hour and the lamp burn out . I be ready to upgrade . at first I buy the Sanyo plv-1080hd as a open box buy . when I get it home , to my dismay there be over 700 hour on it ! BUMMER !! since I have 30 day to return it , the salesman tell I new projector be on the way and to hold tight . -lrb- I would never buy a demo projector again ! -rrb- well two week later I see the Epson in the store . since I have the Sanyo for 2 week , I have something to compare it to . the black be twice as good . it be super bright . the color POP like a lcd tv . basically it turn my white screen at home into the world largest flat panel . they have a gray screen at the store and the whites be still plenty bright . the screen at the store have glass particle that show up and be distract during the movie , so I will not be purchase a glass particled screen . both projector be much better at my home . the demo room have too much light near the screen . at home , I be a little alarmed by the Epson 8100 's oversaturated color right out of the box . the Sanyo be pretty good right out of the box , but the Epson demand adjustment . on hdtv -lrb- cox -rrb- most of the people be overly reddish . one of the preset mode for hdtv remove too much color . I find a review of the projector that include calibration configuration and that make a world of difference . that be when it start to shine even on ECO mode ! -lrb- I think it could beat Sanyo PLV-1080HD 's brightest mode on ECO mode ! -rrb- I be so excited to have purchase this brand new . I find it a definite upgrade to be able to go 4000 hour on a bulb and only pay $ 300 for a replacement versus Sanyo 's approximate 2000 hour and $ 400 for a replacement . blu-ray be awesome on the Epson 8100 . razor sharp . even up close to the screen , you can hardly see the porch screen . the contrast and shadow detail be notable . there be plenty of parameter to adjust this projector . with the warranty , lamp life , and awesome picture . I will definitely be please for a long time . some review go back and forth about organic versus inorganic panel and guess about what kind of panel this projector be make of . the two year warranty give I peace of mind that if the panel go bad , I will get it fix . I have use a projector since 2005 and I have use it for tv , movie and some computer use . I do cut it off if I be not watch but I have fall asleep a few time . it be on most of Saturday and Sunday . still in 4 year , I only use the In Focus for 3000 hour . I have consider have a lcd tv in addition so I could save the bulb , but I can buy a lot of bulb for that cost and even a 52 '' tv seem tiny after be accustom to a 92 '' screen . I be watch Larry King and the wall behind he be true black . the color be awesome . CNN shine ! Sports look great . -lrb- Sports be dim on the Sanyo plv-1080hd . -rrb- my projector be at least 20 foot away and give off plenty of light even with my light on . accord to one of the review , the light be considerably cut when you have it too far away . I have it at the longest distance where you can have it 100 '' and use ECO lamp with the light off and it be plenty bright . I have it on a shelf in the back of the room so I can still enjoy my ceiling fan in the summer . the exhaust vent on the front be a life saver on this unit . the Sanyo be blow hot air and some bright light out the side of they projector . the Sanyo do have a door to hide the lens but Epson have a lens cover . since I can easily reach the lens , I 'll just put the cover on , when I be finish . I may even purchase a full projector cover for when it be not in use to cut down on dust . there be overwhelming positive review for the Sanyo , but this Epson will blow it away . even the exterior design in a little more sexy in pearl white and a little bit more stream line and less boxy . finally , do not pay full price as it be a buyer 's market . I get a awesome price at a major retailer and for 0 % financing , so get yours today ! get this projector ! +703 Projector POS 5 the only negative thing I can say it be for the bolt hole configuration for the ceiling support if you use a generic product . that be a great product for this price ! +54 Projector POS 4 I shop several store and heavily on-line before I purchase this projection unit . I want a projector for outdoors on my covered deck . the problem be could I find one that be go to be bright enough for a outdoor application where a lot of late afternoon sun would be . I must say I have be impress with this unit . yes there be time where the picture become a little wash out but overall it have be great . the biggest problem be when direct light be reflect onto the screen -- then it become wash out . during the most daylight time the picture be clear and bright . at night or in lower light the picture be excellent . when first use this I have a standard definition source and be use RCA cable to carry signal to the projector . when I move to a hd satellite box and a 25-foot HDMI cable -lrb- cmple Ultra High speed HDMI Cable , 25 foot the sound from the box itself be very limited . the volume do not raise very high and the quality be rather flat . I hook up a sound bar -lrb- ilive itp100b two Channel Bar Speaker System with docking and recharge Station for iPhone and iPod -lrb- Black -rrb- I be project about 25 foot away from the screen and have size the image -lrb- use a zoom setting -rrb- to about a 74-inch screen . I be project onto a piece of white tile board that I purchase at a home store . the quality , detail , color , and clarity be very impressive . +237 Projector POS 5 I buy this to use in my home gym while run on the treadmill . I use the VideoSecu Universal LCD\/DLP Projector Vaulted Ceiling Mount Bracket Black with 25.6 '' extension pole pj2b 1c9 to easily mount it from the ceiling and hook it to the Onkyo ht-s3400 5.1-channel home Theater System . the video go directly to the projector by way of hdmus from the Sony dvp-sr500h 1080p Upscaling dvd Player and the sound go straight to the Onkyo . I hook up the Wii the same way except with a VGA cable to the projector . I get the whole system here and it work great together . the sound cover the noise from the treadmill and the picture be bright enough to see on the 80 inch gray screen -lrb- for better contrast -rrb- even with the light on or the blind open . my wife use the Wii fitness and love it on the big screen . the picture quality be good for both movie and video game and the gray screen add to the contrast and make the black blacker . I run it on the economy mode which use less power and be less bright but still plenty bright because I be only 18 foot from the screen . I do not think you can beat the picture quality for the price and even if you spend twice as much I think you would be hard press to tell the difference without both of they show side by side . if you want to improve this system I would spend the extra money on the sound . this be good for what I use it for but there be a much bigger difference in sound quality than picture quality between this one and the one in my home theater . +175 Projector NEU 3 do it ever bother you when a otherwise terrific product lack the one feature that would make it a amazingly terrific product ? Andy Rooney probably ask that very question , but if he do he do not have this projector in mind . this 2600 luman projector with a 16:9 screen aspect ratio would seem perfect for most business and personal presentation . with a aspect design for high definition video , one would expect the projector would be fully enable for amazing movie-watching . however to get all the datum hd require to the projector fast datum transmittal be necessary . a usb port will not deliver that speed and volume . without doubt hdmus be currently the best transmission standard from source to screen . this projector lack it . Epsom do have hdmus projector - Epson EX7210 WXGA 3LCD Widescreen Business Projector , 2800 Lumens , 16:10 , HDMI , usb , 5.1 lb they be better choice . +928 Projector POS 5 we have use this projector for about 4000 hour - it be fabulous Panasonic have always be helpful to we - people be very impressed with the picture it be incredible - plasma -lrb- heavy , burn out and more - now that iss a joke - I have a 80 inch picture we watch VUDU , HD direct tv and it be great . +351 Projector POS 5 well , first thing first let get this straight , its not a high end projector so do not expect 400 '' screen . I have set this up in my room from my bed with a satellite connection , and surround sound . I be get a 80 '' screen ! just watch the basketball game the other day and be amaze at how awesome this be . i want to buy a second one for the spare bedroom . pro : cheap , durable , great basic picture . LED , Optoma be a great brand . Cos : no remote . \* if you want something for a living room or basement you might want to go bigger , in lumen . movie like Harry Potter or the dark knight wouldnt be suitable on something like this . hopefully this help ! +743 Projector POS 5 this clock do it all . love the ocean sound and be able to see the time on the ceiling . I realize that all this be not necessary but for the price you can not beat it . my daughter in law love it and order one too . +526 Projector POS 4 my review be pretty similar to the one from Joel D. Strasser below -lrb- 3rd March -rrb- . receive within 3 day . Video output quality be far better than what I expect from this low cost projector . however , it just do not allow to change the aspect radio from 4:3 to 16:9 with hdmus and VGA -lrb- try these 2 so far -rrb- . this result in the output be shrink horizontally if you have connect the projector to a wide screen -lrb- 16:9 -rrb- laptop . if you do not want it to shrink , you have to change the screen resolution -lrb- in laptop -rrb- for projector to 4:3 i.e. 1024x768 . then it show the proper output but size be smaller than before . overall , full mark for the output clarity and quality but disappointing on lack of aspect ratio flexibility . -lrb- can someone let I know what kind of input allow we to change the scale on this projector ? -rrb- +901 Projector POS 4 I have less than 100 hour on this new bulb , so I can not comment on bulb life . my largest quibble be with the bulb 's location on the projector in that I have to take it down from the ceiling and remove the mount to replace the bulb . also , there be no installation instruction include , so I have to find the owner manual . and these bulb be still too expensive . but the picture from the revitalize hd70 make it all worth while . +157 Projector POS 5 this be a good travel projector . it work well in medium to low lite . you have to buy a extra adapter to connect you ipod . the battery only last about a hour . +862 Projector POS 5 we get this mount to go with a Epson PowerLite 77c 2200 Lumen Multimedia Projector set up be very easy with plenty of hardware for different environment and need . we need the extension so we could mount it to the cement ceiling over 2 ' above the ceiling tile . the hollow post allow for at least some cable management . it be easy to adjust for the specific projector -lrb- though if you have a decent spatial\/mechanical sense you may find it preferable to avoid the instruction for center the projector on the mount bracket . -rrb- the mount be well make , sturdy , easy to set up , and adjust . we 'll be buy more of these for other classroom over the next year . +625 Projector NEG 1 I so want this to work . it would have be quite useful in we darkened basement for sleepover and such , not to mention take on vacation . the picture , though , be far too fuzzy to enjoy , and no amount of focus could bring it to clarity . maybe I have a dud -lrb- I do buy from the warehouse at a discount -rrb- , but I be just not impressed with clarity . that say , the ease of use be phenomenal . just turn on , plug in , and play . if you can deal with the fuzziness it might be ok for you . for a couple hundred more , I would prefer just to get a 42 '' plasma for my basement . +851 Projector POS 4 Got this with a 92 '' Optoma manual screen . install to the ceiling and love the picture . so far the only issue I be have be that sometimes -lrb- random -rrb- when I power up the projector and fio converter box I get a overly red image on the screen . I have work at adjust the color , etc. but that do not help . generally , I need to shut down one or both product and power up again in order to get the picture color correct - why I give it 4 star . otherwise , I have no complaint . have anyone else encounter this issue ? I plan to contact Optoma regard this . like all previous post this be a great product , produce a fantastic picture -lrb- for the $ $ -rrb- and now with the announcement from Optoma a few day back of a 3d converter that will work with 3d blu-ray player and 3d tv broadcast this will be a very hot item for sure . all we 'll need will be more 3d broadcast and dvd available . +20 Projector NEG 2 I just purchase this model from a reputable distributor and it arrive this evening . Hooray ! I set it up in the same ceiling location that we old dlp projector be located . after read the manual and tweaking the setting , I sit down to watch a movie . I must say the picture be a great improvement over we old projector . however , 20 minute into the movie , the screen turn into green and black vertical stripe and slowly fade to red . the unit be unresponsive . I could not even turn it off . I try call the distributor technical assistance line but to no avail . then I try to call Panasonic . they automate answering system would have be comical if I be not so tick off . it tell you to speak naturally and then connect you to the commercial sale division or anywhere but technical assistance . ultimately , I have to turn the main power switch off at the rear of the projector . I know that that action be a `` no-no '' since the fan should keep run to cool the bulb , but I do not want to leave it on until somebody from some technical service department call I back at some future date . I would like to be tell you how great this projector be , but there it sit , on my ceiling , like a dead , dark , lifeless , $ slightly below msrp yet still expensive $ box . I try to turn it on again , but it just flash some red on the screen and turn off , like some piss off -lrb- albeit , die -rrb- HAL 9000 . I will be send this unit back tomorrow and will not be ask for a replacement . I will probably try a Sony or BenQ for the next one . Panasonic have they chance and they blow it , errr ... blow up . if you want to try this projector , just make sure you can return it or have it repair locally . the picture do look really nice for about 20 minute . +223 Projector POS 4 the projctor be good thank you and i love it for 1 to a 100 i rape 95 i love it i love it +565 Projector NEU 3 one of the main feature of the Epson ex31 , ex51 and ex71 be usb plug-n-play . this be theoretically a nice feature that simplify setup . you just connect a single usb cable from pc to projector , and it send all audio and video over that . unfortunately Epson do not have 64-bit usb driver for Windows Vista or Windows 7 . this be despite the fact that about 50 % of Windows 7 installation be 64-bit . this indicate poor planning and lack of commitment to the most common operating system platform . this may change in time , but as of now -lrb- October 2010 -rrb- , Epson technical support say the company have no public plan for 64 bit Windows support of this feature . therefore if you now have or plan on ever run any 64-bit version of Windows , just assume the Epson usb plug-n-play feature be not there . any evaluation of these Epson printer vs competitor should be minus this feature , as there be no current public plan to ever support 64 bit Windows . besides this , the projector work pretty well . it have multiple input : composite , S-Video , VGA and HDMI . image quality on hdmus seem very good and it be decent even on composite . the menu system be logical and easy to understand . however the fan be fairly loud , and there be a soft repetitive beeping from the printer . the acoustic noise be probably ok in a noisy classroom , but it be way too loud for a quiet environment . also the on-board speaker volume be limit , so if you presentation contain audio , you 'll need external audio for people to hear it very well . +420 Projector POS 5 have be work with many projector lately and this one beat all other I have work with . this be a wonderful piece of machinery , it lack a little bit of contrast though , but brightne , resolution , image quality , color , and price be perfect . +800 Projector POS 5 when unpacked , the projector be good and play with a huge screen . downside to this projector be that there be no manual zoom meaning you have to move it closer or further from a wall to adjust screen size . this be a huge downside . I also hook up a PS3 that be work in 3d on a Samsung plasma 3d tv but it will not work on this projector . in fact no 3d source that have try will work on this projector . I have call Optoma and they need to call I back because they do not know what be wrong . I be use hdmus 1.4 and Optoma DLP link glass . all in all I would steer clear of this projector . I be go to revert back to my original year 2000 HP projector over this . first one be defective secondwork perfect and have be use 5 ft from wall at 100 inch and its perfectionist +523 Projector POS 5 great product , especially for the money . come with every piece you could possibly need . the seller be exceptionally great . I receive the product before the estimate arrival . +832 Projector POS 4 I read lot of review about this product not good for Optoma hd20 . I buy myself the Optoma hd180 which be newer version of hd20 . from other review i short list problem in mount with the following : - too many screw option - unclear instruction on how to hook the thing up - very tight screw because of thick paint here be what i do and in the same order . - check out the manufacturer website , they have a 3d image of this product when assemble , this give I a understanding of what part do what and how the assemble product should look like , especially the adjustment arm at the bottom go in and out . - loosen all the adjustment screw not too loose enough to make part move -lrb- this be not easiest thing to do . have to use additional tool -rrb- - seperate the part that go into ceiling -lrb- will call it '' base holder '' -rrb- from the other part of mount -lrb- will call it bottom part -rrb- . this can be do by unbolt only one screw , call `` quick release '' . - hook up only 3 bottom part screw to hd180 -lrb- it have room for only 3 screw and one big one which i do not use , use the smallest screw include in the kit -rrb- - measure center of screen where i want and put the base holder to the ceiling with 2 drywall screw do not use the one in the kit -lrb- too big and need wrench -rrb- , use screw with screw head instead ; easier with power drill , make sure they can take 30 pound . - Hung the projector `` Bottom part '' to `` Base holder '' with `` qucik release '' screw power it up to see where image be be project -lrb- need second person to hold projector in place -rrb- , tighten the screw with screen adjustment . - with all proj set to default adjust the screen for precise setup . take I 1.5 hr to get it up and run , most time consume be side way adjustment screw unloosening , make you doubt what way be the correct way to loosen . trick be to use a longer handle tool to unscrew it , i put a screwdriver on back of the hex that come with the kit and it move easily . +905 Projector POS 5 we get it for a smaller business operation and it have a very crisp display . we use this in a fully light room on a non-white screen , and it still project a easily legible image from we computer . extremely easy to set-up , use and make little to no noise . quick delivery from Amazon . +546 Projector POS 5 vga be very expensive locally , amazon make it affordable . I would have pay $ 100 locally . work as it should . we be very happy , may need another on for next project soon . +322 Projector POS 5 be perfect for my projector it come with all the tool need i love it thanks +99 Projector POS 5 find this product by lucky coincidence when shop for screen . I be extremely wary of this purchase at first because its price tag be only a little more than a comparably size pull-down screen , and significantly less than the nearest-priced automated screen . turn out to be a beautiful , reliable product that I have enthusiastically recommend to other whenever I can . Favi have do a excellent job with attention to detail , even the control box have a removable mount plate make it a cinch to install\/hang . if I be force to balance this praise with some kind of complaint , I guess it would be the fact that the power cord be a fixed connection from the outlet to the control box and then to the screen , make it difficult to run through a wall . a extremely minor issue , though . the screen continue to impress myself and other who watch film on it . +164 Projector POS 5 the image be very good and the quality be optimal . easy to install and use . my family have enjoy good movie as be in the movie . +483 Projector NEU 3 I purchase this alarm clock about a month ago . the dual alarm feature be great and it be very easy to operate . I do enjoy the projection feature , I have a very hard time see without my glass and this make it much easier . I have already have the other problem that other have complain about the clock display a error message , and yes I remove the battery , and now it work like a charm . I would , however , change the radio function . one buyer rave about the great radio reception , but I have not find this to be the case . no matter where I put this , I can not get good reception , even the strongest signal station fade in and out . I use this now as a basic clock radio and for that it be effective . +866 Projector POS 5 I get this mount to my ceiling project on to a 92 '' screen . I be very satisfied with the quality , 1080p resolution , amazing for the price . watch blu-ray through my PS3 look awesome . this be a great purchase . one thing , I have be use it for a month now and it freeze twice when switch game on the PS3 , i have to physically unplug and re-plug the unit from the wall to get it to work again . no real biggie . still 5 star rating . +208 Projector POS 5 after month of pricing and feature comparison 's , I opt for the Epson 71c lcd projector , since it be the best price xga -lrb- 1024x768 -rrb- projector available . there be less expensive model with lower resolution -lrb- VGA -rrb- , and other xga model that go as high as $ 14,000.00 ! factor to consider be : lumen -lrb- brightness -rrb- , resolution , video input -lrb- vga\/svga\/s-vid \/ hdtv -rrb- , lifespan of the bulb -lrb- hour -rrb- , and cost of the bulb -lrb- replacement bulb for this model on the internet be -lrb- price range -rrb- -rrb- . the most common application for projector be business presentation , so if this be you use , the weight may be important . I have a hdtv tuner card and a dvd player on my home pc , so connect the Epson to my home pc turn my living room into a high Definition Theater ! you can connect directly to you pc or , as I do , use a SVGA cable splitter . with the splitter , I can use the regular monitor without use the projector in order to conserve the lamp life -lrb- rate at 1500 hour -rrb- . the Epson can turn the image upside down , if you need to mount it from the ceiling . keystone correction compensate for a angled projection by turn the trapezoidal image back into a rectangular image . the unit have function flawlessly -lrb- get it in January 02 -rrb- . since I have not use other projector , I can not compare it with other unit ; but I have no regret with this product . order thru Amazon.com be convenient and painless , no sale tax , and free shipping ! +837 Projector POS 5 my family have a lot of old super 8 movie lay around which we have never watch . I want to have they digitalize so that we can enjoy they . I do some research before I find this `` box '' , order it and it come within a few day . I bring it home for Christmas and it be amazingly simple . my dad be very skeptical to start with but in no time we have the movie transfer to my computer and I upload they to the internet so the whole family can watch . I use my digital camera with video function as I do not have a cam corder but the quality turn out great . it be easy to set it up and take little effort or technical knowledge . just adjust the camera so it capture the frame correctly and hit ` record ' . that simple ! I only convert super 8 movie but next time I go home I will try it with slide and old picture . +854 Projector POS 5 buy this ! do not hesitate . the quality be excellent . it be very sturdy and strong . for $ 50 it can not be beat . I feel like I could hang from this thing from my ceiling , and I be a big guy . +677 Projector POS 5 hus everyone , each year around this time , you old friend Sam get into high tech gear and explore the latest gadget out there . this year I want to add big screen video to we bedroom to take advantage of watch more of the many , many dvd 's I have amass in the past few year . why watch lousy tv program when you can see a good feature and see it movie size ? well , I have no idea what a REVOLUTION have occur in video processing technology at a price anyone can afford right now . those of you who have see my eight foot project picture at home will appreciate what I be about to tell you ... you can have close to that great quality for dvd 's , Cable tv or high definition , or other source for only $ 999.99 and all you need do be go to Circuit City and buy the INFOCUS x1 projector . Infocus be one of the leading manufacturer of projector for industrial use and they set be now be tailor for home use . they product use the dlp technology -lrb- Digital Light Producing -rrb- and the latest Texas Instruments chip . this baby be smaller than a typewriter -lrb- about 5 by 10 by 12 -rrb- and weigh only six pound . the bulb will last for up to four thousand hour and be relatively cheap to replace . the brightness and contrast spec be actually better than my two year old six thousand dollar sharp xv-9000 projector . it have lower resolution than some higher price machine , but still enough punch to make any dvd look great for picture size up to nine foot . it even have a small speaker and amp build in so you do not need to hook up a sound system , which be especially handy if you want to carry it out anywhere . it have a zoom lens that allow you to adjust picture size and a handy remote control that provide all the choice for any adjustment you need . right out of the box , and without make any adjustment , the picture on `` Annie get you gun '' -lrb- a exceptional dvd ! -rrb- look beautiful . I hype the brightness , color , and contrast a bit and be even more pleased . truly , this projector be just unbelievable and it be a thrill to share this review of its great performance with you . you do not even need a screen to enjoy the picture , as it will work on a white wall or even a sheet . a cheap screen will be better , however . anyone with at least a five foot throw distance can enjoy this baby in a darkened room . I have mine about fifteen foot from the screen for a eight foot picture . even with light on in the room , the picture can be enjoy . this projector be introduce at $ 1,600.00 and be recently lower in price because a newer model be come out next year ... BUT the new model will not include the fine Faroudja processor that be build into the unit . this processor be great at clean up imperfection in video . jagged edge , video noise , and more will be smooth out . as usual , I do much research into this and compare other model and read countless review to find the best bang for the buck right now . there be a few other model that average a couple hundred more and will probably give similar performance , but I do not think any other machine will come close for this price . so , if a big beautiful video experience be what you have be wait for ... go get one and enjoy ! just hook up you cable box or a inexpensive dvd player and you be in business . BOTTOM LINE : people who be go out and buy those huge rear projection tv 's that be heavy and take up a lot of room pay from two to three thousand dollar and sometimes much more . you can have a picture double they size , that will have no `` burn in '' problem , take up no space , and almost certainly will have a superior picture ... for a third of the price . the projector also have a three year warranty . I think Santa Claus come early this year ... because it feel like Xmas here today ! best to all , Sam +806 Projector POS 5 I be replace a older projector use in a business environment . the ViewSonic Pro8200 offer a lot of feature that I want -- mostly the hd\/1080p level of projection , plus good sound capability . in all area -lrb- except sound volume -rrb- this projector look like it will be a wonderful replacement . setup be very easy -lrb- I be use Windows7 Enterprise -rrb- . on the occasion of first usage , several people comment on the quality and improve visual impact of the image . my only modest disappointment be that the speaker do not put out as much sound as I be expect . I be hope not to have to take extra speaker with I -- the sound output be sufficient , but just barely . the multitude of connective possibility be amazing !! the inclusion of a hdmus cable with the projector be great . I really think I be go to enjoy use the Pro8200 very much . +993 Projector NEU 3 we need it the same day it arrive and we be able to use it without hardly look at direction , so ease of use good . but the clarity of a power point we load be not as good as we have hope . be not like the crisp demo they have load on it when it arrive . +911 Projector POS 5 I order this product from slidecentral last week and it come very soon after ! it be impeccably packed and neat . very easy to unwrap and set up . everything work to my standard for a classroom setting and have come in handy already . the seller also send a conformation immediately to my email and also let I know when it ship ! thanks so much for everything . I recommend this seller to everyone . +488 Projector POS 5 pro 's : the picture be great even with Standard Cables\/HD TV 's interlaced picture . it work great for xbox 360 especially with game like Rock Band , Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk Skate where you want a bigger picture for immersion . 10 $ for the xbox 360 's Audio RC\/Optical converter cable , but no biggy : d I have it project at ~ 80 '' screen . in which beat the pants off a standard 46 '' lead tv for around 60 % of the price . my fiancee and she cousin be skeptical as to how well it work and why its not a common fixture in most people home at such a affordable price . I win the skeptic 's over with great picture despite all the light be on , and still a great define picture . con 's : no audio out so you always splitting the audio off at the device . Optical which usually be provide with hdmus device be limit to a receiver -lrb- ~ 300 $ + -rrb- \/ converter -lrb- ~ 40 $ -rrb- \/ high end sound system -lrb- ~ 250 $ + -rrb- . no tv tuner build in but the device that provide that be generally tv Tuner Boxes -lrb- ~ 100 $ + -rrb- \/ vcr -lrb- ~ 25 $ + -rrb- \/ dvd Player with tuner -lrb- ~ 100 $ + -rrb- . replacement bulb -lrb- ~ 125 $ -rrb- . I do the whole converter + VCR Route for around +70 $ other : at a average of 5hr 's a day the bulb will last ~ 2yr in which ill probably retire this unit and shove it in the spare bedroom , and buy it another bulb and upgrade . +386 Projector POS 5 this be my second projector , and this one have much better feature . it have everything you need to watch a movie anywhere , all you need be some power . it have a lot of option to adjust the screen to adapt to any viewing location . it come with a travel case so that it stay well protect in transit . +528 Projector POS 5 we need this projector for presentation at we school . it be easy to connect and work well . there be a way to play image file directly from the usb drive .

I be not persuade that it be not the fault of the dvd 's or VHS 's we have , but on the credit , the word be slightly fuzzy . however , I consider this by far one of the best purchase I have make in a long while ! awesome surprise for the family ! +876 Projector POS 4 this solid Epsion Video Projector be a must buy ! with all of the excellent option and the right price , you can not miss ! +637 Projector POS 5 the unit come and work right out of the box . you need to order cable for hdmus and VGA support . this be normal . also the unit do not have adjustable foot . so you need to use book or a mount kit . I be happy as of right now with how it work out of the box +332 Projector POS 5 this be a great buy for this quality . I have this setup in the basement with a 100 '' screen . wow what a difference especially with blu-ray movie . hd football be also super ! the position option allow lot of different placement and it be very quiet . this be the first piece of technology that have ever impressed my wife ! it be that good . +123 Projector NEG 1 this be the worst thing i have ever buy . the quality be terrible and the bulb burn out 2 month after I buy it . right after the full refund policy expiress +91 Projector POS 4 very good mount . Easy to put together with detailed illustration . be not quite big enough for my projector spacing . I have to make some extention for 2 of the arm that bolt to the projector . overall , I be please with the purchase . +402 Projector NEU 3 I replace a Panasonic pt-ax100u with a Epson 8350 due to the iris issue and lamp finally go out -lrb- after 8,500 hour on the bulb -rrb- . I find the Epson a decent replacement . I also need to change the ceiling mount as the mount be specifically weld for the Panasonic . after research -lrb- obviously not enough -rrb- I decide to buy the Atdec universal ceiling mount . the Epson have five hole configure for ceiling mount which the Atdec can handle . I can not attach all five -lrb- or even four with the extension arm include in the box . if anyone would be willing to sell the longest arm -lrb- 2 x 150mm -rrb- I would be able to fully install the Atdec ceiling mount . I have do a half heart search through scrap metal that I have in the garage but have not find anything yet . my next step will be to visit hardware store in search of a diy installation . please let I know if you have the longest arm leave over after install you ceiling mount . the unit appear easy to mount and feel very solid . +957 Projector POS 5 this be very good projector , great value for money . no issue so far have use it for a month . product arrive on time well package and as expect . if you be not look for a short throw projector then this be the one I think . happy I buy this one after quite bit of research . +794 Projector NEU 3 I buy this base on all the good review , of course , maybe I should have read all the review except just look at the 4 star rating . we be excite about this little portable projector even though I kinda doubt at 50 luman what it can do . but it seem other people like it , one review mention on the road presentation be pretty good . anyway , we get the little thing and test it , it just can not compare to the 2000 luman larger projector . it be not bad for presentation w \/ large font , but if you need to see smaller font like look at standard website w \/ paragraph text , it will not do . we staff try and it will not work that type of presentation -lrb- which be need in we case -rrb- . plus overall just not that bright . oh when it be on battery and not on power \/ ac adapter , it will be even dimmer . with the ac be ok , sub-standard , but on battery be not acceptable in a lite room -lrb- in my standard -rrb- . +954 Projector NEG 1 after read all the positive review here on amazon , I be exuberant about order this 120 '' screen . I have no idea what I be in for . the fume that off-gas from this favus 120 '' screen produce a horrific smell that be so overwhelming , my room be uninhabitable even after several day of nonstop ventilation . upon further research I discover that these fume may be highly toxic , even carcinogenic . I really want this screen to work and I do everything I could to air-out the fume , but after 10 day of anguish I finally decide to return it . I decide that a cheap projector screen be not worth a reduction in life-expectancy . on a side-note , the screen be not particularly impressive from the standpoint of image quality . I electronically lower the screen while I be watch a movie project on my wall , and I could not tell the difference -lrb- seat 12 foot away -rrb- between the screen and the wall . I should mention that I have stucco wall which theoretically would make for a horrible viewing surface . most wall would work better than what I have in my home and yet I still could not detect even a slight improvement in the integrity of the image use the Favi screen . I email the company to no avail . they have not respond to my inquiry regard the fume . much to my surprise , Favi Entertainment do not supply a phone number on its website . how can I trust a company that do not even have a phone number ? I be leave to conclude that Favi be a irresponsible manufacturer that disregard customer service . EDIT : I finally receive a email from Favi 's office in Michigan at 10:45 pm est state that it will take `` two week '' for the screen to `` air-out . '' I have already have the screen for almost two week and it smell just as bad as it do on day one . perhaps I just get a faulty unit . in any case , something about this company do not smell right . this screen be not to die for , pardon the pun . +572 Projector NEG 2 this item be functional , but fail to project well -- the light be not bright enough to project a good color image . also , the user instruction write in English be not very literate , extremely difficult to follow . +260 Projector POS 4 I purchase this projector mount for my man cave and be very happy with it . the packaging be flimsy but the product be not damage in any way during shipping . as far as installation ... READ the instruction FIRST ! once you have read through the instruction , it assemble faily easily for somebody with a fair degree of mechanical aptitude . it take a fair bit of adjust to get the project image just right but , I believe that be the same with any projector mount . on a side note , my `` man-cave '' be also my garage and where I do woodwork . this mean that there be a large amount of sawdust float around when I be work . this mount make it very easy for I to take down the projector , by simply remove two screw and move it to a dust-free environment . when I be ready to go back to `` man-cave '' mode , it re-install and be perfectly align in under a minute . all in all , I be very happy with the mount and will likely be purchase another for a second projector very soon . again , the installation be fairly straight forward if you read the instruction first and have a fair degree of mechanical aptitude . if you be look for a plug-and-play type solution , this may not be for you . +83 Projector POS 5 this mount have a solid adjustment mechanism for easy aim and , just as importantly , easy lock so it stay put after adjustment . I want a mount that keep the projector very close to the ceiling , and this be quite low profile . the mount arm be solid and easily adjustable , and it come with very large lag bolt to go into you ceiling , make it easy to install this securely . the most pleasant surprise be the plastic cover over the ceiling plate and projector screw , so the finish product be quite attractive too . +426 Projector POS 5 ship on time and arrive as promise . come with a nice carry case , video cable , and HDMI cable . once I get it set up in my basement I could not believe how much better it be than my 5 year old projector . contrast and brightness be amazing . for home theater in a basement , I turn the brightness all the way down and it still light up the room . image quality be great consider I be use analog input . ca not wait to hook up something with a 1080p signal and see what it look like . it may cost 2 time the average projector , but it be worth the money if you want a real home theater experience . +304 Projector POS 5 I be give this as a gift and be tell it be purchase on Amazon which be why I be leave a review here . at first when I get this , I do not think much of it because I use it during the daytime and could not really see much . I know I could view picture and movie off of it but do not really appreciate it until I be bore 1 night and decide to use it again . I be actually pretty impressed with the screen this little device can throw out . when the picture get really big , I do see some grid , but I suppose it have to do with this device not be design as a hd device or something like that . I end up purchase the iPhone accessory cable from aaxa and that totally change this device for I . I really like the fact that I can share my Netflix off my iPhone when I be over at a friend 's place that do not have cable . there be never a boring night again with anyone ! : d the speaker leave a bit to be desire , but not have to carry any other extra device make up for it . iPhone in 1 pocket , p1jr in the other , love it ! +791 Projector POS 4 the Timex T736S dual Alarm clock radio with Time Projector and Jumbo Display be a amazingly light , attractive item that have a lot more bell and whistle than a non tech individual like myself generally require . the time projector and dual alarm be excellent feature and I definitely appreciate the both the large time display and the adjustable brightness feature . I like be able to see the time from across the room when I be awake but also like a dark room when I be sleep . here I get to have it both way . but I think my favorite be the environmental sound feature and battery back-up system . the only slight negative for I be a aesthetic one deal with maximize the use of available space . the clock be much thicker than it need to be . the 18 function button located at the top could have be arrange in a more efficient manner , thus slim down the device so that it would not need quite as much room on you desk or bedside table . other than that I be satisfied . +410 Projector POS 4 certainly for the price this a well make budget product and capable of push a decent image on a unprepped wall with good clarity , easy adjustment and solid construction . it be not mind blow and the audio leave something to be desire , but my God ... for the price ? unbelievable . +425 Projector NEU 3 Update : I take away one star as I have to return the projector after 6 hour of view due to excessive rainbow artifact . I maybe more sensitive than other but on my old Infocus 4205sp I could only see they if I move my eye back and forth on white end title on black background - perhaps the extra brightness and constrast of the w6000 make it worse , but I could see rainbow during actual scene -lrb- my wife , who have never see the rainbow on the old projector say she do notice they on the w6000 but they be not bothersome to she -rrb- . it be a real pity as the picture quality be simply AMAZING and the brightness make it perfect for any room . this be probably the best projector I have see and I hope BENQ will consider release a upgrade of this model with the follow feature : 1 . -rrb- no rainbow -lrb- speed up the color wheel -rrb- - must do 2 . -rrb- 2.1:1 zoom to add placement flexibility and compete with lcd\/lcos this would be optional BUT would allow just about anyone a good chance of shelf mount the projector avoid cieling mounts\/cabling , etc. . 3 . -rrb- faster\/more quiet iris to compete in the ultra black level market . 4 . -rrb- ability to dim brightness a bit further as even in low bulb mode it be a tad too bright for my room -lrb- could this be achieve by let the user set a close down the iris max open level ? or to be more `` green '' perhaps the option to buy the projector with a lower wattage bulb would be a good trade-off -rrb- 5 . -rrb- option for white case when ceiling mount on light\/white ceiling . 6 . -rrb- longer warranty -lrb- 3 year ? -rrb- and a lens cover . review : I be in the market to replace my aging Infocus 4805sp -lrb- dlp 720x480 -rrb- and do extensive research on several good projector web site and a lot of reading of user comment . I 'll start off by say that I like DLP 's color and sharpness better than lcd\/lcos . I do not have a dark room and although I watch movie at night , white wall ruin any chance at super dark level . I also do not have a expansive budget - I be look to keep my projector cost -lrb- $ 1500 . I purchase a 106 '' diagonal 16:9 dalite hus contrast white screen -lrb- gain 1.1 -rrb- and mount the projector at the back of the room on a 8 ' ceiling at the maximum distance of ~ 18 ' foot away . after eliminate some nice dlp choice due to excessive offset -lrb- when ceiling mount they image be too low below the ceiling -rrb- it come down to the Optoma hd20 and benqw6000 - these two be not in the same class , one be a $ 900 and the other be $ 1800 . base on review the hd20 have a good form factor , good brighness & fast color wheel -lrb- eliminate visible rainbow -rrb- but much lower contrast , high fan noise , and very little placement flexibility . w6000 be MUCH more user-friendly in term of placement , tuning the image , set up user profile , and be super bright and very good dark level . I be check price and catch a great price for a new unit through Amazon at $ 1499 -lrb- $ 1 under budget : -rrb- my direct experience : this projector be physically huge compare with my old 4805 . the box be sleek and shiny black - would have much prefer a white box as it would blend better on the ceiling . the lens be in the centreline so mount and align with the center of the screen be easy - the projector have a mechanical joystick control that allow shift the image up\/down right\/left by several foot in any direction so even if you do not have thing just right or have limitation on placement this projector can probably accomodate the situation . the only exception be the zoom lens which be a 1.5:1 vs. competet lcd\/lcos model with 2 or 2.1:1 -lrb- a higher ratio mean you have a larger range between closest and farthest projector placement for a give image\/screen size -rrb- . the hd20 be 1.2:1 so almost have no range at all . the BENQ miss be on my back shelf by 18 '' -lrb- I would have prefer backshelf placement since I could have avoid all the ceiling work and cabling -rrb- the projector be not super quiet but fan noise be not loud and at low frequency so at 3 ft away from the seat it be not bothersome - in normal bulb mode or high brightness though the fan might be too loud for some people . the image out of the box without calibration look great . this projector be really bright , color be SUPER vivid , the image , especially blueray through hdmus be razor sharp , and the contrast and dark level be impressive -lrb- even without the iris -rrb- . in low bulb set it be still super bright -lrb- ~ 3x brighter than my old projector -rrb- . Menus be easy to read and understand and the remote be easy to use . regular dvd look to have MPEG compression artifact and then I discover the default sharpness have be set to +8 . I bring it down to 0 and normal dvd look great -lrb- blueray still look great at this setting -rrb- . there be a comb filter for further cleaning thing up but I have not try this yet . I strongly recommend this projector with the BIG caveat be that you better have a screen at least 100 '' in size or prepare to be blind -lrb- in a room that get a lot of light though then this level of brightness be a boon -rrb- and if you be sensitive to rainbow from spin color wheel , you will probably notice it in some scene on this projector -lrb- e.g. bright object move on a dark backround -rrb- . the rainbow end up be a `` show stopper '' for I and I have to return the projector -lrb- kudos to Amamzon for they liberal and easy return policy -rrb- . +564 Projector NEG 1 be really look forward to watch a movie use this projector . unfortunately , the picture quality be unacceptable . it be very dark , and I be unable to adjust it to a acceptable level . I use it in a room that be very dark , base on review . I try several different dvd to verify that it be not just Harry Potter Deathly Hollows . also try Star Trek , and phantom of the opera . I try project from the dvd player as well as from my computer . I give up and put the dvd into my regular player . +130 Projector POS 4 this product work great and be easy to set up . the carry case be thin and do not really seem to have enough protection for a $ 400 + piece of equipment . we also purchase the 2 or 3 year warranty . hopefully we will not need it . +28 Projector POS 5 I have have this projector for four week and it work like a champ . the noise level be average , but everything else about the projector be top notch . my image be 129 '' diagonal and the 1080p\/1080i image be crystal clear . if ceiling mount be sure to have the projector properly center as it do not come with lens shift . compare to other projector in this price range it be hard to beat with the number of lumen , lamp life , and the length of the warranty . +379 Projector POS 4 buy on a Friday , select next day delivery and receive it on Saturday before noon ! hook it up to my dvd player through hdmus that evening and watch a movie on my bedroom wall with my kid . we love it except for the audio\/volume control . it do not get loud enough . Easy fix ... I hook it up to we digital home theater system -lrb- power speaker system -rrb- and voilum , it be just like be at the movie theater ! I then use it for my daughter 's birthday party a day later . we project the image onto the back of the garage and the kid watch it from we sofa on we deck . it work beautifully . I be very , very happy with this purchase . would have give it a five star review if the volume would have be sufficient . +306 Projector NEG 1 ysp-4100 with yst-fsw150 you have probably hear or read that a sound bar can not produce the effect of a true 5 channel surround system . that may be the understatement of the century ! despite the excellent rating of the professional reviewer , the ysp-4100 do not come close ! background : the purpose of these unit be to replace a 5.2 system to reduce clutter and eliminate a `` rat 's nest '' of cable and wire . I know that the change would not produce the same result as the old system but I do not expect how far off the result would be . very disappoint ! pro : clear , crisp sound with very good voice reproduction . con : surround sound effect insubstantial . I want to make clear that the sound quality of this sound bar be top notch ! it be the lack of surround effect that be most disappointing . setup : after the physical installation , I run the initial AUTO setup . the result sound be less than DULL , no SURROUND , all sound come from center of sound bar . over several day , I make numerous Manual Adjustments . the sound improve but nowhere near what $ 1,900 + of speaker should produce . I then make slight adjustment to microphone position , furniture , and close a door . ran AUTO SETUP again and get the same DULL , no surround result . also find that AUTO SETUP wipe out manual setting . I reestablish manual setting . the source of the audio be a large factor . in general dvd and Cable movie sound the best . once in a while I run across a movie with superior sound and the sound bar reproduce this almost to my expectation . even though the sound spread beyond the sound bar itself , it remain in the front half of the room . you can get these same result from most $ 300 sound bar . I consider try to live with these speaker for a few month think that perhaps I would get use to the difference . but why should one spend nearly $ 2000 just to accept inferior result ? both unit have be return ! +987 Projector POS 4 I see this pj in action last night . the source be a Sony BluRay dvd player and a br press of Spiderman 2 . the picture clarity be amazing . Rock solid image with -lrb- not surprisingly -rrb- incredible definition . I can not , however give it 5 star . perhaps the color calibration be not perfect -lrb- altough Sony rep be on hand so `` they bad '' if they set it up poorly -rrb- - in particular the red be far too prominent . this be a 3 chip , native 1920x1080 unit , so no color wheel and , hence , no rainbow effect . it also run super quiet -lrb- again , no wheel -rrb- and push surprisingly little air out of the read-ported vent . the air that be come out \* be \* pretty hot , so any room that host this bad boy should have good ventilation . it be a attractive unit and , steal from Apple , the `` sony '' logo be rear-lit when the unit be turn on . the screen be a pretty small Stewart Filmscreens Greyhawk , so contrast ratio be additionally boost . due to the small size , the image be exceptionally bright . at this resolution , it be interesting to note how clearly computer generate the Spiderman scene appear . on sd unit , there be enough softening of the edge to hide the cg nature of the image and complete the illusion . at hidef re , however , the blue-screen and cg become quite obvious . Hollywood Actors\/Actresses : beware ! you wrinkle and blemish will soon be splash they way across 120 '' hidef screen all over the world ! : -rrb- at under $ 9k for a 3-chip dlp , Sony have really throw down the gauntlet with this one . expect competitor to follow and hopefully we 'll all be able to afford something of this spec within just a few more year . +166 Projector POS 5 this be a terrific projector for my purpose . I be able to connect a inexpensive dvd player directly to the projector to show video for small church group setting . my powerpoint projection be clear . only issue be synce my sound from video on laptop but this be a connectivity cord issue not a projector issue . it have a auto search option that seek the source for you . Easy to use and set-up . +527 Projector POS 5 I use this little guy for a movie theater in my room . it be very clear and work really well when the room be dark . light definitely affect the performance of the projector but the darker it get the better the picture . you can sacrific image quality for size and make the picture really large . also it have a million way to connect to the unit so you should have no issue with connection . well worth the money if you want something to carry around and use on the spot . battery could last a little longer ... +406 Projector NEG 1 long story short , it be a piece of garbage , do not waste you money . -lrb- if you puchase this that be all you be do ! , and , you will be disappoint . -rrb- I read the mostly positive review , think that maybe it be a good deal , since I would always want a home projector , and the price be comparatively low . from the phrasing of the product title , I also believe this to be a hd projector , it be NOT !! it just have port to use hd device on it . I be so mad when find that out , because where 's the logic in that ? the picture `` quality '' suck , BIG TIME !! the color be horrible , and no matter how much we focus it , my brother 's xbox 360 could not be play because it be too blurry . if it be not for the headache , and hassle of send the damn thing back to China , at my expense , I would do exactly that . this be the worst purchase I believe I have make on Amazon , Third party or not ! +359 Projector POS 4 I buy this as a entry-level projector for my home office , for kind of as a toy\/experiment , and have be please with the result . the picture quality -lrb- 640x480 -rrb- be obviously low-end by today 's hi-def tv standard , but if you goal be to have a big screen at a low price , preferably as you `` secondary '' -lrb- i.e. not as you living room centerpiece -rrb- tv , then this be a good buy . I be use it for dvd , Roku , and computer , project on a $ 50 pull-down screen , and it project a 80 '' image from about 12 foot away . the picture be not too bright , so the room have to be totally dark for best result . the kid love it for the `` movie theater big-screen '' experience , and they do not complain about the video quality . I have use it to watch MLB tv and tv show via Roku , and that be pretty cool - again , we be not talk razor-sharp picture , but definitely good enough for I . I recommend it to any buyer who be ok with adjust his\/her expectation in order to get a inexpensive big-screen `` for fun '' . if you be a buyer who want a top-of-the line high-def video experience , I recommend get a higher resolution tv or projector . +38 Projector NEU 3 I get the product relatively quickly and it work as intend however I think if this be sell as a universal mount it should come with way more assortment of screw and washer\/spacers in order to accomodate most projector . also the joint could use some lock washer in order to prevent they from move under weight . +492 Projector NEU 3 this work well , but I do not expect it to have a decent lifespan at all . it seriously feel like a toddler toy . I have be play with it for several day now , and the image be very hit or miss . I can not imagine try to play any sort of game on this as the resolution and lighting be both sub-par . set the unit on my floor , point at the ceiling , I get a ~ 40 '' screen , and can clearly see the individual pixel . when watch movie , it be difficult , at best , to read any sort of text that may pop up . try to figure out the menu on my PS3 take several try to get Netflix to load . the internal speaker be actually one of the best feature about this unit . it provide ample sound , and have a wide range . it be prime operate area be in the vocal range , but gunfire and siren sound equally decent from it . so , so far I have list mostly negative , but for the right people , this may be the perfect solution . as a on-the-go unit , this thing be large , but could be great . use it with a mp3 player to watch movie make this incredibly versatile . if you want to put up a theater in the back yard , I imagine this would do ok -lrb- provide not too much outside lighting -rrb- . if you be not sure about get a full projection home theater , this be a good way to test the water to see if you want to invest in something more substantial and all the other goody to get with . if I would have have this on my Pete 379 when I be drive , this would have make movie watch a bit more entertaining . the 120 '' screen size on the side or back of a trailer would have be brilliant . so , I keep ask myself if this be a decent buy or not , and I gotta say that it be well worth the cost . I do wish I have continue look for a unit that include usb , VGA , HDMI , or other means of input , but I can handle use the standard a\/v rca plug for now . consider the cost of go to a theater , this cost less than a half dozen ticket . so , if it last more than 6 movie , it be a great buy . I be already near that mark , and it have not show any sign of meltdown ... yet . +799 Projector NEG 1 Este articulo es de muy muy mala calidad , lo compre y solo I duro 1 dia y medio al 2 dium fueron apareciendo manchas blancas hasta cubrir 70 % de la imagen , solo lo use 2 dia , soy de venezuela , para cambiarlo tenia que enviar el item malo pero cuando lo fui a enviar el el envio costaba mas casi igual que el item , no pude enviar el item por ese motivo , amazon I volvio a cobrar el mismo item y I envio uno nuevo ya que solicite cambio y no lo pude enviar , asi que ellos primero te envian otro antes de qeu tu envies el item malo y te obligan a pagarlo despue , no RECOMIENDO LA COMPRA de ESTE ITEM ... this article be of very poor quality , buy it and just drive I 1 day to 2 day and a half be white patch appear to cover 70 % of the image , use it only 2 day , I be from Venezuela , to change have to send the bad item but when I go to send the shipping cost more nearly like the item , I could not send the item for that reason , I return to amazon charge the same item and send I a new one and to seek change and I could not send , so they first send you another before you send the item qeu you bad and force you to pay later , I do NOT RECOMMEND tHE PURCHASE of THIS ITEM +765 Projector NEG 2 the size and wieght of the unit be excellent . it have all the standard hook-up . the real weakness be the power of the lamp . the image from the projector can not be see in a light room . I think that I could use this for school ; however , the need for dark in order to see the image mean that my student can not see to write note . if you plan to use this product in a semi-lit room I do not think you will be able to clearly see the image project . if you plan to use this projector in a dimly light room , it may work for you . +297 Projector POS 5 absolutely thrill with this purchase . Pictures look great and dvd look super . exceptionally bright for it be size . razor sharp picture . other have comment about excessive fan noise but it be not so bad as to be a huge drawback . on board speaker however be very weak . but I be still thrill with the picture . love the size and weight of the projector . feel very sturdy . and a special piece of advice to those that purchase this ... when power the unit down let the unit run it be course in the shut down process ! it be very important that the unit cool itself off before it automatically turn the fan off . so do not power it off and then go and pull the plug out from the wall . let it run until the fan cut off -lrb- 90 seconds to 2 minute I think -rrb- . +238 Projector POS 5 although it be no longer available on Amazon , I still want to write this review to balance out the wrongful 1 star review -lrb- base on vander 's fault -rrb- I own one of this sharp pg-b10s projector -lrb- refurb . from fry -rrb- since Thanksgiving 2004 , as a entertainment projector , and it still work well up to today , the black Friday of 2010 -lrb- Nov. 26.2010 -rrb- ! I have bring it to travel across the Pacific ocean , and accidently drop it on hard floor and carpet once for each , but it still work well !! what a great product that you do not see often nowadays ! the lens shift design be also very useable and work better than set the keystone to compensate the distortion at the corner . also the multi-language menu , Eco projection and password lock be all make it a well think product ! not to mention its 1200 lumen project power ! the only downside be its size if compare to today 's SVGA projector in general , but it be definetely a quality budget projector for you if you happen to see they available on the market . +215 Projector POS 5 I have purchase this projector in Jan 2011 and be excite to have a 3d big screen experience at the luxury of you home . I have to but the 3d glass and the Optoma 3d adapter . I be very impressed out of the box . blu-ray look great . Works quite well in ambient light , but really come alive in light off . hd stuff look really good from view distance of 10 ' . overall I be very happy with my purchase . I would recommend this projector to anyone look for a 3d projector in this price range . +870 Projector NEU 3 I read the comment about the `` rainbow effect '' , and decide to by the projector anyway , because it seem like such a good deal , and I never notice this artifact on any other projector . it definately have a beautiful picture , and make watch movie a lot of fun , but about every twenty minute when I blink or move my eye there be a bright white imagine on the screen I notice a flash stripe of red , blue and green on the border of the white part of the image . it do not ruin the movie , but it be kind of distract . also , the fact that I can make this happen by move my eye quickly create a distracting temptation . my girlfriend and roommate do not notice this at all -lrb- except when they intentionally move they eye quickly around the screen -rrb- . it be not a huge deal , but if I have to make the decision again , I would probably buy a different projector . I have never notice this effect on other projector , so I think there be something wrong with this one . +342 Projector POS 5 buy this in a hurry 14 month ago . over 2000 hour on the lamp so far . great picture for nightly movie with dinner . foreign film , comedy , everything play well for a family of film buff . Easy size adjust for various aspect ratio . lack focus control on remote , but fine for we ceiling mount . +680 Projector POS 5 as advertise . Works well in office situation for presentation . delivery on time . very satisfied . bright enough projector . small and transportable thank you +256 Projector NEG 1 I get this projector about a month ago in NY and travel with it back to argentna where I live . first time I turn it on the thing burn out even though it say it support multiple voltage and I read the manual thoroughly before plug it . I mail optoma for the guarantee but they only cover it in the US . there be no official service outside USA and maybe Canada , not in Argentina anyway . I write they several email and get few reply . more than once I have to forward they the same mail so that they would give I any dice . I finally take the projector to a spacialized service and they tell I the power supply blow and that they could not get the part for it . I be still wait for Optoma to give I a answer and see if they can ship the part over . the thing be that the lamp have a 90 day guararntee so they be probably wait for my time to run out . if you get a projector be sure to buy from the well know brand like epson or hp . they part be much easier to get and they have worldwide support and service . +124 Projector POS 5 I be really into gadget so this be the second $ 100 projector I have own . the first one i have be the discovery wonderwall and it be horrid . the p1 jr be better and i have to disagree with the last reviewer about this projector capability . I have project image larger than 5 '' with no issue . the only thing about this project that you need to know be that its mean for a dim light room . I would not really expect much from a $ 100 dollar projector the size of a iphone to do more . overall i be so happy with my purchase that I get bigger model from aaxa the m2 . diff --git a/test/RiceCooker.txt b/test/RiceCooker.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..8953751bb89097d220f0e6e644e76f045ddc2dbe --- /dev/null +++ b/test/RiceCooker.txt @@ -0,0 +1,200 @@ +316 RiceCooker POS 5 I have own this make and model of rice cooker for almost 3 year . I do a tremendous amount of research before request it as holiday gift , and be still thrill with my present . this rice cooker get fairly regular use , and do a fantastic job every time at make rice . it still look brand new , and I have have no issue with any of the part , the teflon coated bowl have no sign of scratch , chip or wear . this cooker be dead easy to use , require only two button for everything but the time cook function . I almost always rinse my rice before cooking - the rice have a gluey - starchy - pasty-ness otherwise . to rinse my rice , I just place it in the cooking bowl add water , swish it around with my finger , and gently tip off the cloudy water a couple of time . one the rice be rinse , just add fresh water until it be up to but not over the correct line inside the bowl . put the bowl back in the cooker , push the menu button until the triangle point to the same setting as the line you fill the bowl to , then press start . I can not imagine a way of make it any easier . it be worth note that it do take longer to cook rice in the rice cooker - maybe 1 hour for white rice on the basic setting , as oppose to `` 20 minute on the stove '' -lrb- which always take closer to 30-40 minute on my stove . -rrb- but , I just start the rice before begin any prep-work for the rest of the meal . even for a basic stir-fry or curry , by the time I have assemble all of the ingredient , prep they , then cook they , plain white rice be always perfectly cook and on the hold warm setting no matter if I use the quick cook or the regular white setting .

I have spend the last few month wean off of it and as of right now I do a 1 to 5 white to brown ratio . for every one cup of cook rice , 4\/5 of it be brown medium grain and the remain 1\/5 be white . for this type of mixture I recommend use the brown rice setting . fill the water accord to the tick mark in the cooker pot . for medium grain , I fill it until the desire tick mark be submerge . -lrb- basically for 1 cup of rice , I fill the cooker just a hare over the 1 cup water mark . -rrb- for those who grow up on white rice , I strongly recommend wean yourself off of it by do a brown\/white mixture . increase the brown rice every 4 serving or so . this be the perfect machine to do it with . the rice cook perfect every single time once you get the water level right . -lrb- for I it take two mixed rice batch . -rrb- my biggest complaint use to be that brown rice taste awful compare to white rice . it take buy this rice cooker for I to realize that 90 % of the bad taste be because of how the brown rice be cook ! 10 % be still get use to the texture but get over 10 % be no big deal compare to the 90 % improvement in taste . do not bother look at other rice cooker . I look at 5 other rice cooker of similar spec -lrb- Sanyo , Black & Decker , Aroma , Oster , and Panasonic -rrb- and this one be by far worth more in price and quality . +776 RiceCooker POS 5 very good quality for the price . I especially like that the rice cooker come with a steam tray . very handy . I hope it will last at least 2 year . my last one last a little over 2 year . +202 RiceCooker POS 5 we receive this cooker from a friend when she family outgrow it . since 3 of we 4 kid be still small , it work for we . when we outgrow it , we will most certainly be get a larger one . I be usually not a one-use-appliance kind of person , but this take one huge task off my mind and let I concentrate on other thing while make dinner . 3 small kid = lot of distraction ! it do make a bit of a mess when the water boil and come out of the hole on the lid , but it be typically very easy to clean up -lrb- wipe the counter , throw the lid in the dishwasher . -rrb- I tend to buy the large bag of rice and store the scoop right in the bag so I know where it be . if you be try to decide whether or not you will use a rice maker , this be the perfect model to try with . I have also take my homemade spanish Rice recipe , dump it all in the bowl , give it a stir and let it cook . turn out perfectly . +555 RiceCooker POS 5 I get it today and make some rice -lrb- the cheapest walmart best value rice -rrb- . and still this cooker cook it so well . no overcooking or undercook whatsoever . I didnt even have to look at the cooker till it be do . highly recommend it . +787 RiceCooker NEU 3 after use we Zojirushi rice cooker for more than a decade , it be start to act its age , so I get this cooker when it show up one day on `` today 's deal '' for half the price . when I first get it , I think I have make a mistake because it look so small compare to we old 5.5 cup Zojirushi cooker . to my surprise , though , it actually accommodate more rice cooking room -- and perfectly every time . I love everything about this little beauty -- small yet plenty and versatile in usage . I also love the fact that it come with two titanium bowl , two inner lid and detachable steam vent , along with other useful item for tofu cooking and steam . so why only 3 star ? I do not notice this at the beginning , but increasingly with each use , the cover have be give I hard time by refuse to close nicely . without the inner lid , it simply refuse to close at all . in order to clean the inner lid , I would then have to get the other lid or leave the cooker open while I clean it . even with the inner lid perfectly fit inside , the cover refuse to close to my grow frustration . I have to press the cover down about three time on average before it finally close . I inspect very carefully between the cover and the inner lid to make sure nothing 's get in the way . everything look good , but the cover do not close easily . I do not get it . since none of the reviewer of this cooker have report this problem , I guess it be a isolate case . if the problem continue , I 'll just have to return it and get something else . +882 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker work great , good for 2 people but definitely make enough for 4 , fast and easy . I would highly recommend this rice cooker for white rice , have not use it for any other type . it also come with a steamer basket for vegetable . great value at this price . +418 RiceCooker POS 5 I decide to splurge and buy a nice rice cooker for myself . I only have a few ` must-haves : ' a timer , so I could have dinner ready and wait when I come home from work , and steel cut oats for breakfast when I wake up in the morning ; and it should cook decent brown rice . I read lot of review and dither for a week or two over whether to get a Zojirushi or a bigger Sanyo with more feature like steam . I also consider get something cheaper , without the microcomputer . eventually I pick this one base on price , size -lrb- both amount of rice cook and overall footprint -rrb- , the thick pot , and review . so far -lrb- I have have it about 2 month -rrb- , I like it a lot . I love use it to cook oatmeal . I use to do it overnight in a slow cooker , but this be even easier . I use the porridge setting with a little less water . the oats cook with a better consistency and the bowl just need a quick sponge off afterward . one small annoyance be the amount of water that drip down when I open the lid -lrb- this do not happen with rice , just oatmeal -rrb- . but it stay in the cavity around the lid , and I soak it up with a paper towel . Rice -lrb- I have only cook brown -rrb- come out pretty well . I have not miss the steam feature that much -- sometimes I throw in other stuff with the rice so I can have a convenient one-bowl meal , or put some food that need a little reheat on top of the rice right after it finish cooking and be in ` keep warm ' mode . I have not try bake bread or make dolsot bibimbap but they seem like they 'll be fun to try . I wish you could save at least two timer setting -lrb- breakfast and dinner -rrb- , but my schedule vary enough that I would probably have to manually set it most of the time anyway . and the review about the flake pot have make I paranoid so that I treat the pot very delicately , although it seem like the nonstick surface will be pretty durable as long as you do not scratch it . but those be minor thing , and in actual use it be be great . +830 RiceCooker POS 4 my sister and I both own this rice cooker and it work great . my only suggestion be that it tend to make a mess of you countertop -lrb- steam create a `` coating '' on countertop -rrb- but that can easily be resolve by put a small dishtowel under the cooker during use . this cooker even cook brown rice perfectly which I always find difficult to accomplish stovetop . I would purchase it again . +204 RiceCooker POS 5 this be a steamer and rice cooker , can you say more . I have use it everyday since I buy it and you do not even need sauce for the rice with this cooker because it be so tasty . +558 RiceCooker POS 5 I actually have not use this yet , but I have a black and Decker rice cooker before , and be very happy with it . I be extremely happy with the speed and service of the vendor , and I would certainly order from they again . thank so much ! +69 RiceCooker NEG 1 i buy this item on amazon not know it be fit with a american plug when i go to send it back it be go to cost I # 16 postage that be more than the item cost i they buy a plug for it that cost I # 6 and it still do not work wont be buy anything else from use +722 RiceCooker POS 5 I be a single person , so this be just perfect for I . make perfect rice , brown or white . +593 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker be great ! I be not much of a chef , so a easy and foolproof way to cook basic thing like rice be perfect for I - though I would guess it be great for those with a bit more culinary skill as well . all you do be measure the rice , measure the water , plug it in and walk away while it cook itself . no need to worry about timer or thing boil over because it automatically switch over from cooking to keep it warm all on it be own . and ... it be really small . Super easy to use , super easy to clean , super easy to store - all for around $ 13 . also important to consider be that rice be inexpensive and healthy as well . +813 RiceCooker POS 4 I have have this rice cooker for over a year now , and it have be life-saver at time . yes , it be cheap , and maybe the rice do not come out just oh so perfect for those who be super picky , but it have work well for I . it make enough rice for the 2 of we , plus a bit extra for the puppy and do it fast enough . I have also make small meal in it , add seafood and such to the rice . I also use it to make buckwheat and steel cut oats , and it make it so easy and fast . it do tend to bubble over at time , so I just put a mat under it . so it work well for we for now . eventually , we might end up get something fancier , but for now we be stick with this one . +325 RiceCooker POS 5 I really love this rice cooker . I order another after mine get beat up in a move , because I could not imagine life without it . I will not lie , I be a great cook . but for some reason , I can never seem to cook rice correctly . it always come out burnt or mushy , or I forget to make it for my chinese food altogether . this little rice cooker be TINY , so I do not mind leave it out on the counter all the time . for I and my bf , it make plenty of rice , and then some . I just pour in my rice , water and some salt , push the button and forget about it , and a little while later I have perfectly cook rice ! I have not try the little steamer tray that come with everything , but it do come with it . probably could not hold much more than a cup of veggy . the only con I can think of be that the lid can get pretty messy with the steam and froth bubble out the top , but it be easy to clean , along with the bowl . so convenient and cute ! great for 2-3 , maybe 4 people , probably not suitable for more than that . +984 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy this for a friend for Christmas a year or so ago and discover a few month ago that she never use it . so , I immediately confiscate it . if you measure appropriately and put in the recommend amount of water and rice , I be not sure how it could go wrong . it cook perfectly for I every time and if I forget about it , that be ok because it will turn off cooking mode and turn to warm mode when it be do cooking . the steam tray need no explanation . that be just what it be . simple . Works . I love this thing and use it at least twice a week . enjoy ! +109 RiceCooker NEG 2 I really initially like this rice cooker , but end up have to return it . every time I leave it on warm , it burn the bottom of my rice . at first it burnt if it be on for 45 min , but after a few month , 45 min turn into 10 minute . I eventually have to return it . do make decent rice though . +634 RiceCooker POS 4 I can say it do the job without have to stand over it and the rice come out perfect . I have see the other review that say to unplug it after cooking be do but I have try both way and it do not seem to change anything so save a bit on the electric bill and unplug it for the ten min standing time the rice will stay warm for hour even unpluged the one con be that it do indeed brown the rice on the bottom but it you let be sit for the correct time as say in the instruction it come out fine . if you really need to pick out the browned rice it only amount to a few bite so not much of a loss +573 RiceCooker POS 4 the aroma arc-150sb 20-cup Digital Rice Cooker\/Food Steamer work best for serve 2 to 4 people at a time . if you try to cook one cup of rice or oatmeal , it can do it but you must monitor it . if you do not eat rice , oatmeal , or steamed food , this will likely be a space consuming dust collector to you . I try cook rice and oatmeal , steam garden vegetable -lrb- carrot , broccoli , squash -rrb- , and baked a batch of brownie . the brownie be make directly in the `` rice basket '' and need to be monitor . I think it would have work better with a double-batch . no hard section of the brownie . as I usually need for only one or two people , I have mix feeling about get lesser result for small quantity . it be necessary to go with this size to have steamer basket capability -lrb- my primary need for the unit -rrb- . when you cook for 2 to 4 , it work very well . fuzzy logic make the unit versatile . it be not a re-warmer . -lrb- the unit take time to warm up and require moisture . you will waste time and electric and probably not like the result . -rrb- it be not a slow cooker . accept it . the unit have be easy to clean , and I have not have the horrible pasty mess that other rice cooker make . then again , I have alternate what I cook . maybe steam between cooking starchy food help . this cooker\/steamer do what it claim to do and do it well . +183 RiceCooker POS 4 after both older boy move out we do not need a large rice cooker and give this one a try , we be glad we do cook rice fast with out burn the bottom like other small rice cooker , and also cook the rice perfect . this unit be not make to cook american minute rice . +552 RiceCooker NEG 1 it work once . the rice be pretty good . the second time we use it , it fail to heat up . there be power , but the light do not go on either . I return it . +716 RiceCooker POS 5 Panasonic do they homework ! Perfect rice in 30 minute . no over-boil spillage . not worry about teflon . if that do not kill we , something else will . just wish i do not have to unplug it if i want to stop the " keep warm " feature . a old rice cooker have the ability to just push the " lever " up to power off . but i will not take a star away for that , ut i will probably want to in the future if i move the plug into a less desirable spot haha +557 RiceCooker POS 4 ever since I purchase this item , I have be use it almost every single day ! it be extremely convenient and be a snap to use . I live in a small apartment and this be the perfect size for one person . I always cook 1 cup of uncooked rice and it be a hearty serve for one person . it be very easy to measure all you ingredient because the non-stick bowl have mark line on the inside -lrb- 1 cup , 2 cup , and 3 cup -rrb- to show you how much water to add . clean-up be a breeze because of the non-stick bowl . my favorite rice to make be jasmine rice with lot of lime juice , a little lemon juice , and cilantro . I add the rice to the non-stick bowl -lrb- 1 cup uncooked -rrb- . then I add enough lime juice so that all of the rice be wet and soak in it . then I add just a little bit of lemon juice -lrb- 1-2 tsp . -rrb- . then add a bit of butter and some salt . after rice be cook , mix in 2 tsp . of cilantro and stir well . it be delicious and it be the only rice I ever make . the only problem with this unit be that you have to check the rice occasionally during the cooking phase , otherwise the bottom of the rice will brown . it be not a catastrophe and be easily remedy . First off , let I just say that if the rice brown a bit , it only look unpleasant . it still taste just as good . to avoid this , you need to wait until the rice have absorb almost all the water . take off the lid and stir the rice thoroughly . once the rice have absorb most of the water , just switch the mode to `` keep warm '' manually -lrb- instead of wait for it to click -rrb- . then occasionally stir the rice while you wait around 5-10 minute -lrb- give or take -rrb- . once the rice have absorb all the water , you can leave it on `` keep warm '' . I like to switch the mode back to `` cook '' for around 3-4 minute so that the rice get nice and hot . the trick be to take it out before it brown the bottom . this sound complicated , but it really be not . just check it occasionally , stir it a few time , then switch it to `` keep warm '' just before all the water be absorb -lrb- 95 % or so should be absorb -rrb- . this be the only flaw with this unit -lrb- hence only 4 star -rrb- . otherwise , I think it be fantastic and it be my new favorite kitchen appliance ! +385 RiceCooker POS 5 I have have a simple rice cooker for year and consider it the only single-purpose appliance that be truly worthwhile . a close relative have mobility issue that keep he from easily attend food that be cooking on the stove . I get he this little rice cooker and he now very easily make a simple dinner in it . he cook the rice and toward the end add tofu on top to warm up . the meal can be vary by add spice , sauce , sugar snap pea , scallion , right at he desk or table while he be do other work . and the rice pot be very easy for he to clean . the three-cup size be very light in weight , take up little counter space , be perfect for he solo meal , but big enough to make rice for two people when he partner be home for dinner . +19 RiceCooker NEG 1 this say 3 cup on the box , but inside it be a tiny 1.5 cup rice cooker ! I now have to go through the hassle of return it . completely useless . belong to a kid 's play kitchen ! +887 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy this think it would take up so much less space on my counter top than the other model I have in mind . I get home to use it and be so disappointed until I read a comment someone else make about a review . it do sputter and spit and shoot rice water on my counter and the rice seem to stick-the trick be to add a little butter or oil of you choice and a little salt . now it work like a charm ! I usually add liquid and butter first , then the rice . I start it up a hour or two before I want to actually eat the rice , or even longer . I have let it run for 3-4 hour before . it keep the rice nice and warm all that time . I use this about every day-we love rice and I just start a gluten free diet so I be eat more rice instead of noodle . I be glad I check the review after the initial disappointment . this one be a keeper . +694 RiceCooker POS 5 I have to old bullterrier and I feed they brown rice and a moist dog food twice a day . my husband and I also eat the brown rice . this product have free I from watch the pot and the clock . I love it !! I use it every three day . there be no funny smell that I read in alot of other review . I would recommend this to every body who love rice and the slow cooker part be also great . I make a awesome meatloaf in it while i be out food shopping and when it be time to eat , it be be moist and very tasty . please try this product if you eat alot of rice or want to slow cook something - it be the product to help you out . please read the instruction first and then have a great time . one other tibit when you cook the rice-turn it off when the cooking cycle be do . do not leave it on the warm cycle . you do not need it . just keep the lid close and the rice stay hot for quite sometime . sr +958 RiceCooker POS 4 for the new year resolution to lose weight , I be cut down on starch food . the Zojirushi rice cooker be perfect for that reason . . set the program be simple and you be able to set it in the morning for whenever you wish it to be ready for you meal ... +458 RiceCooker POS 5 wow . just wow . stunning , simple , perfect rice , every time . throw it in , press a button , and in just over a hour you have get perfectly cook rice . ca not say enough positive thing about this model . I have use it for a month now , and it continue to impress . one of these day I 'll read the manual to see what the other button do , but since I get it I have just use the big red cook button , and the off button . +698 RiceCooker POS 4 let I just preface my review by say I be asian and I can not cook rice on a stove , so I need a new rice cooker . I have one when I first move out on my own and have to throw it away a few year ago . I find this one and read the review and know I want this one . I love that I could steam veggy with this rice cooker and the price be right . I use this rice cooker to cook brown rice and work fine . the first time I use this , I cook my brown rice and broccoli and the broccoli be too soft for my taste . the flavor be fine , just oversteam for my taste . instead , I start the rice cooker and let it cook for about 20 minute before I add the veggy in the steam tray and it should be fine . I like my veggy lightly steam , with a little crunch and bright color ! it be my personal taste . other than the veggy , I be more than happy with this product . I love that the rice cooker be non-stick so I barely have to scrub it when I be do ! I give this 4 star because it seem the lid and steam tray do not seem to fit snug . other than that , I be very happy with this rice cooker ! very easy and simple to use -- especially for a bad `` cook '' like I ! +142 RiceCooker POS 4 I buy this week at target for $ 28.00 on sale . excellent rice cooker . I give it 4 star because the steamer be poorly design . they should have have the hole in the steamer a little smaller and more number of hole . the pea actually fall through . do not know who test these product +994 RiceCooker POS 4 I will not say this be a excellent product but definitely satisfy you need . the ` keep warm ' option be a ` cherry on the pie ' . +847 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker be excellent . the rice come out fluffy and seperate . most importantly , delicious . excellent choice . +57 RiceCooker POS 5 I agree with all the positive review here . I purchase this to cook brown rice and now that all my family eat now that it come out perfect everytime . I cook add ' l and keep in the fridge . just add a few drop of water to a bowl -lrb- to rehydrate the rice a little -rrb- , load rice in & microwave a minute or more . I have also cook steel cut oats use the brown rice cycle which work well . I have also do black bean without soak , but I have to run the brown rice cycle two time to get it right . -lrb- this mean I have to let it cool down between cycle by remove the bowl and set it aside and leave the lid open so the unit cool as well , because the safety feature will not let you start a new cycle if the temp be above a certain amt . -rrb- if in a hurry , you could put cold water in sink and let the bowl sit in it a few minute too . maybe if you soak the bean overnight , you would only have to run it once . I shall try soak the bean another time to see if I can use only 1 cycle . I have also cook 20 minute stove-top rice use the quick rice cycle , this also be dead on too . I be sure if I give it some thought I could be a lot more creative and I be bet all whole grain will cook in the brown rice cycle . also , do not put directly under cabinet as it steam a lot near the end of the cycle , pull it out a little on the counter so it clear the cabinet . incidently , I make a few measurement and test & time a few thing . first off the plastic rice cup measurer take 2\/3 + 2 tablespoon of water in case anyone lose theirs . second , for brown rice , this take a whopping 1hr 41 minute to complete so allow the time . due to the length , I decide to measure how many KW it be use for that cycle with my p3 kill a watt . it use .16 in total for the 1hr 41min cycle which confirm what I think . . that be do not draw full power the entire time and be not a energy hog . this be about what a 100-watt candescent lightbulb would use in the same amount of time . all in all , this product be very well think out , very well make and be extremely reliable . even though it be make in China it be of highest quality . it have a small footprint and even a retractable cord and carry handle . the bowl be hold up quite well . periodically remove the insert on the lid where the gasket be to wash any residue that might be build up . I be very hesitant to plunk down all that money , but I have no regret today and I be consider buy the larger model since I use it so much . this be great for lazy people too , it take a minute to get it go and very little clean-up involve ! my husband and kid can even use this thing . Hope this help , just think I would give back my review for all the helpful one I have use . 3\/21\/11 almost three year later & still loving this product . teflon be hold up fine !!! +403 RiceCooker POS 5 my wife buy it for I for Christmas , because I be on a variant of the Paleo diet and wheat\/oats\/barley etc. now forbid , so rice have become a staple starch in we house . I have always make rice out of a box in the past , so do not know what to expect . this machine be idiot-proof , and so far -lrb- 4 month -rrb- have cook perfect rice every time . I have probably use it on average twice a week for at least the last 3 month , and have never have a problem . the control be stupid easy : plug in , put rice and appropriate amount of water in the non-stick pot insert , place pot in the cooker , and press the button . the light on the front will switch from `` keep warm '' to `` Cook . '' when it switch back to `` keep warm '' you rice be do . there be three small flaw that I be sure be design compromise make in the interest of keep the price low . the first , and most important , be that as long as the machine be plug in , the heating element remain on . so if you plate you dinner and go eat without unplug , the leftovers continue to heat and will wind up hard , dry , and eventually burn . pay a little more would be fine for the safety of a machine with a automatic time shutoff , I think . the second flaw be the overall build quality of the cooking pot insert . it be very lightweight -lrb- aluminum , I suppose -rrb- , and the non-stick inner surface be plainly cheap . take particular care not to scratch it while wash . finally , it would be nice if there be some sort of aural indication that the rice be do . a beep or other repeat alert sound would be very helpful . work around its minor limitation , this have so far be a excellent addition to my kitchen - no more rice from a box for I ! +782 RiceCooker POS 4 I have use a lot of different rice cooker over the year , and I be very pleased with this one . the rice always come out nice , fluffy , and chewy - just the way it should . I also use this to make the rice that I prepare for sushi rice and fry rice . it do a really good job . it be just too bad that when they say `` perfectly prepare 4 to 12 cup of cook rice -lrb- 2 to 6 cup uncooked -rrb- , '' they mean it when it come to the minimum . if you want to put in less than 2 cup of -lrb- uncooked -rrb- rice -lrb- for a personal portion or something -rrb- , it 'll come out strange . by strange I mean the rice be somehow web together , mostly browned at the bottom , dry -lrb- even when more water be add before cooking -rrb- , grainy , etc. . all in all , I would definitely recommend this to any household where you be cook for more than 2 . if you want to cook only for yourself , or maybe two people I would recommend get a smaller cooker . +298 RiceCooker POS 5 my wife and I become busy recently and decide it be time to finally get a rice cooker to save some time in the kitchen . we buy a cheap old-school rice cooker and the rice would scorch , water would boil out of lid , and the rice be worse than cook the rice on the stove top . then we decide to invest in a good rice cooker . the Zojirushi ns-lac05 be everything we hope for and more . we want a rice cooker that would make great rice , that could handle smaller amount of rice , that have a timer , and could handle a variety of different rice . this rice cooker be a dream . - it be attractive . we have already receive compliment from guest . - its footprint be very reasonable for a small kitchen . - with a thick , stick proof bowl the rice do not burn to any spot and clean up be simple . - it easily make rice for 2 adult -lrb- 1.5 of the `` cup '' for we -rrb- but could handle 4 adult -lrb- 3 `` cup '' -rrb- with normal eating habit . note : the cup be not full size cup of rice . - it do a great job on a variety of rice ; there be different setting for different rice and the measurement marking appear correct for different rice . so far we have try long grain brown , medium grain brown , sushi , jasmine , white basmatus , brown basmatus , and brown\/white mix . we have not have a bad batch of rice . - the computer 's fuzzy logic algorithm -lrb- i.e. `` Micom Neuro Fuzzy '' -rrb- constantly adjust the temperature so the rice come out perfect every time . I also think the cooker start out at a low temperature and gradually step up the heat but I be not 100 % sure . - the heavy bowl seem to distribute heat perfectly and there be no scorched rice or crust attach to the bowl . - the timer be convenient for set the rice to be complete at a specific time , at which point it keep you rice warm . we have find it complete cooking within a minute or two of the timer setting . there be two timer setting that you can adjust ... presumably so you could have you rice prepare for breakfast & dinner in Japan . - the retractable cord be a nice feature . - there be even a little holder for the include rice paddle that attach to the side of the cooker . we have even use it to make Polenta . just use 1 zojirushi-cup of corn grits , chicken broth up to 2-cup brown rice mark , and cook use the white rice setting . when it be do , put the mixture in a bowl and let it cool to room temperature . I would highly recommend this rice cooker . it be probably not big enough for a big family but for a single person , a couple , or a small family it will probably fit the bill perfectly . I can not over-emphasize the quality of rice the cooker produce ... it be like a dream have rice as good or better than a restaurant at home . we probably eat grain cook in this machine 6-7 night a week . once you switch to this Zojirushi you 'll never want to go back to you old way . +187 RiceCooker POS 5 any fuzzy logic rice cooker from Zojirushi be awesome . the most important thing in buy a rice cooker be not to buy one that look like a crock pot , as they have uneven heat and be very hard to get the water level correct on , result in soggy or crunchy or burned rice . +111 RiceCooker NEG 1 I be very happy with my rice cooker that I buy 03\/11 . today i notice that the inner pot be peel off and make unsafe to cook in it . I use it 3 to 4 time per week with 3 month vacation -lrb- my rice cooker get pack for move -rrb- . that mean I be able to use it for just 10 month . today I be read the review and nobody could find the replacement part . I try to do it without luck . THEY INNER POT REPLACEMENT PART be DISCONTINUED !!! THIS RICE COOKER be TOO EXPENSIVE to LAST just 10 month !! +687 RiceCooker POS 5 this be a really good rice cooker , although small fit my need since i only cook for 2 . one thing you get to know be that as soon as the rice be finish you must flip the rice so that the bottom doesnt burn . because it will after 5 min of standing . +103 RiceCooker POS 4 the rice come out fabulous . it be also great for steel cut oatmeal . however , the timer be extremely confusing . out of 5 college graduate -lrb- engineer , phd 's -rrb- , only one figure it out . I even write the company 3 time . I own a Zojirushi Bread maker also , and that timer be straight forward . the rice cooker use a 24 hour clock , -- very confusing . if it have not be for the timer I would have give it 5 star . also , a steamer button would have be nice , but that model be even more expensive . +737 RiceCooker POS 5 make excellent rice for chinese food and japanese sushi . convenient and easy to use . highly recommede . +501 RiceCooker POS 5 I pay $ 27.96 . now it be only $ 23.70 . what a deal for a great little rice cooker . if you do not like the frilly flower , you could always pay $ 10-15 more for the exact same machine without they . as for I , I like save money . +188 RiceCooker POS 4 I have be use the Zojirushi ns-vgc05 for about 2 month now and love this cooker . my family eat lot of rice and a good rice cooker be essential for we . I own a number of rice cooker in the past , some american brand like black Decker , Aroma , Tiger , some japanese brand like Hitachi , Panasonic , Sanyo but none come close to quality and performance of this one not to mention good look on the counter top . the job of a rice cooker be to cook delicious rice , I be satisfied with cook rice by this one and look like it will last for a quite some time . this be one pricey rice cooker , it cost twice much more than the other brand but it be worth my money . I do not like the fact that I can not change the battery myself and do not know what to do if the battery die ! for that reason , I take off 1 star . if you care about delicious rice , and a piece of good look appliance in you kitchen , this be the one . +261 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker be so good . I cook white and brown rice almost every day , sometimes I use it as a slow cooker . it be the first time I own a rice cooker with 2 inner pot , one for rice cooking and the other one be for slow cooking . it sound fun and be really worth the money . do not pay more than $ 200 for a rice cooker ! +611 RiceCooker POS 5 I be not much of a cook , yes I can make decent white rice myself , but have to watch it constantly . brown rice always give I fit . how many rice meal have I have to scoop the rice off the top of the pot because the bottom of the pot be either soupy or scorched . two pot of brown rice so far this cooker have cook perfectly while I be busy elsewhere in the house . when I drop by the kitchen and notice the `` keep warm '' light be light I openn the cooker and fluff perfectly cook rice . its more expensive than a crock pot that have be rebrand as a rice cooker . but its clearly get a lot more smart than a crock pot . +82 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy two of these , one as a gift and one for myself . both of they work wonderfully and be extremely affordable ! I be very satisfied with this product . +184 RiceCooker NEU 3 I be still work on figure out the direction . my guess be they be originally write in japanese . the machine be not `` intuitive '' so I be not use it much . +48 RiceCooker POS 5 Ok , I read all the review before buying , and I use this cooker 4-5 time a week for the last 5 month with 2 cup of uncooked brown or jasmine rice , and without a doubt this be one of the best value for the money ... it have some special need in use but I think they be common to all cooker . . 1 . -rrb- need to stir rice in the water before start to get the rice on the bottom wet so it will not burn . 2 . -rrb- need to remove rice pot from cooker as soon as cooker go to warm mode , as continue to heat rice will cause it to burn on bottom . 3 . -rrb- cheap wite rice have a lot of starch that really make a mess all over the cover and on the counter around the cooker , . . try Jasmine rice just a little more expensive but no starch mess , the lid do not even need to be wash when do . 4 . -rrb- pot clean easy if let soak in soapy water for a short time then just wipe out . \*\*\* when it break I will be replace it with another , we really like rice . . +583 RiceCooker POS 4 have lose my zac-10 in a reversal of matrimonial bliss , I finally scrape enough together to replace it . be it great ? yup . four star though . why ? the rice bowl , unlike the zac-10 , have no handle ... or anything else to restrict it from rotate when you stir the rice . so it spin in the cooker . it be too thin to hold with a oven mitt , and too hot to hold with you hand . this be what engineer call stupid . not sure which one have the molded wing on the bowl but I would recommend that over this . +104 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy this little rice cooker over 1.5 year ago . as other have say , it be look very small , almost like a toy . I intend to use it only occasionally to make rice . but after discover how easy it be to use , and how dependably it cook the rice - have use it several time a week . I love the smell of the steam rice that escape from the vent while the rice be cooking . I usually make the maximum amount which be a huge plate full for one person or a very good size portion for two people . I make white and brown rice and sometimes make the package rice side dish -lrb- with spice packet -rrb- and they all come out great . this be a great value and have be very dependable . it be one of my favorite purchase from Amazon . +909 RiceCooker POS 5 I know it sound kinda ew . . but whenever we get a upset stomach around here , white rice be what we serve . I use to make that quick cook minute rice . I think it be really good until I make rice in the Zojirushi . no comparison . that and oatmeal . it even make brown rice taste really good . I buy it specifically for sushi rice , and it come out perfect every time . it take longer but it be well worth it . clean up be a breeze ; a quick wipe down of the unit and warm soap and water for the bowl , and it be clean . well worth the price . +376 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy aroma because my friend have the smaller one from year ago , and I love how it make rice . so I go look for one of my own . I get the bigger one because then when we get together we can make enough rice for all of we friend instead of try to make she small one work so hard . I love mine ! I be so happy to be able to make rice while I be make the rest of my meal . also it be a good price for as much as it can make . : -rrb- +162 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker be great . I have have it for several week now , and I have not have any trouble with it . it be small and make the perfect amount of rice for my husband and i. it make I feel good that we be have brown rice with we dinner several time a week . and it be low hassle , compare to try to cook it on the stove . I be very glad I make this purchase ! +824 RiceCooker POS 5 small and extremely easy to use , it cook rice with excellent result . it be a very good investment , the Zojirushi will last forever ! +809 RiceCooker POS 5 I love this little rice cooker ! it be perfect for 2 people ! even 3 . it clean so easily because of the coating in the rice pot . I have use bigger rice pot before and never have one be this easy to clean . it take very little space to store and be just fantastic ! would recommend highly and mightily , especially for a small family or for just 2 or 3 people . +133 RiceCooker POS 4 the handle on the lid be a little loose , need a better screw to hold it in place and not come off . +618 RiceCooker POS 5 I purchase my aroma rice cooker at target as I love rice . I originally bid on a much more expensive one on ebay but be outbid even at $ 120 . anyhow , I be at target , see this one and think ... what the heck . I follow direction to make 4 cup of brown rice . I hit the brown rice button and that be it . one hour and 45 minute later I eat what I consider to be the best brown rice I have ever have . it do not stick together as you get at fine restaurant , and it be fluffy . I love it ! the best feature -lrb- I think -rrb- about this machine be that when you rice be cook , it automatically switch over to keep warm setting . therefore , you can never overcook it . if you undercook it it be only because you do not allow it to cook for the time the instruction tell you to . I be now so glad that I purchase this one . I pay $ 35 for it versus the $ 120 I would have pay for the Zojirushi 3 cup rice cooker . +912 RiceCooker POS 5 I never really eat much rice but this make really tasty rice like restaurant serve , its so easy , just measure , and put in water and hit start . do not forget to wash the rice ... actually so far I have make more bread than rice , the bread rock ... yeah it take a little time to mix flour , etc but its worth it , I have even start experiment with put chunk of cheese , tomato and rosemary in the bread , etc. . its so yummy . I want to try brown rice soon . the Dol Sot Bi Bim Bab set make a really moist stew type meal . I be glad I get it . it have turn I into a better cook which be not easy . +923 RiceCooker POS 5 Works as advertise . do not get annoyed about the steamer tray - that be like give a sedan a low rating for not have a convertible top . if you want extra feature get a more expensive model . +67 RiceCooker POS 5 it cook rice perfectly and slow cook very precisely . the timer function be a wonderful bonus so you can time you rice to be cook by the time you get home or set you slow cooker to cook for hour that you want it to . +860 RiceCooker NEU 3 quirky be the right word for this rice cooker . the 4th time I use it , it start flip over to WARM while the rice be still very wet . cook but wet . the worst issue be that as other reviewer have comment - it spew slimy goo through the vent and around the edge of the lid . if you cook more than 2 cup it will do this . I tent it with two paper towel which catch the liquid ooze out but it be not pleasant to deal with and some run down the side in the back so then the counter require cleaning . I have use a least half a dozen rice cooker over my lifetime and this be the only one that have a hissyl fit if you use `` too much '' water and it be not like I be double the water - perhaps 5 % more . put water in the rice cooker should not have to be a exact science . buy a different rice cooker , it be not worth the hassle . +219 RiceCooker POS 4 we be not sure we need a rice steamer after make rice several time a week on the stove top for 47 year , but we love it for white rice and be get use to it with brown . it be convenient and dependable . +257 RiceCooker POS 5 I admit it - - despite be raise in Hawaii , I never have a rice cooker of my own before . I always want one , and for a number of reason I feel like treat myself to something luxurious and fabulous use my tax refund . so , after read the description of this rice cooker , I order it despite the ridiculously high price . it be great . all you do be measure the rice use they little measure cup and put it in the rice cooker , add water up to the line , push the button , and forget about it until you hear the little song that it play when the rice be do . I have be eat `` boil-in-the-bag '' rice but this be so much easier and definitely a huge step-up in quality of the cook rice . I be a single person and find that by cook the smallest amount I get one and a fourth cup of white rice , which be just right for I . this be produce by fill they measuring cup with rice up to the 1\/2 cup mark plus water up to the corresponding line on the bowl . the `` cup '' measure with they measure cup be not a full cup but some other unit of measurement . I probably eat rice twice as often now that I have the rice cooker because it be so easy to use . Rice come out perfectly every time , and clean-up be a breeze -lrb- though I do not see anything about dishwasher-safe , so I just clean the bowl and measure cup and spatula manually , but it hardly take any time at all -rrb- . I be retire so I have not try the timer , but that should be a great feature for work people who could come home to find warm , perfect rice do and wait for they . this rice cooker take up less room on my countertop than I have expect , and it look nice as you can tell . UPS delivery be fast and it arrive in perfect condition . +885 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy this base on review I read on Amazon and be very happy with the result , the rice cooker work great . +87 RiceCooker POS 5 ok wow , this thing be amazing ! I be a college student with little time to spend prepare food -lrb- and rice be cheap -rrb- so I think this be a perfect investment and I be right ! today i receive it , clean everything , plug it in , use the measurement of rice to water , hit the big button that say BROWN RICE , and then it be beep later tell I it be do . when I open the top I could barely believe my eye , perfect freakin ' RICE . look exactly like the kind you get with chinese food , all dry and scrumptious look how I like it . it even have a chart to adjust water to cater to how you like you rice prepare , so I have some variation to experiment with . but basically , this thing be so cool and I feel as if it be gonna save I so much time and I 'll make much better food . love it ! +916 RiceCooker POS 5 if you dont buy this rice cooker then you be not asian . this rice cooker be definitely asian . it be make by Asians for Asians . Asians rule . go rice cooker . buy this , its awesome . +888 RiceCooker POS 5 we family eat rice everyday . older rice cooker be about $ 500 . so I worrird about quality since this rice cooker be so reasonable . to tell the truth , this rice cooker make same quality to my expensive old one . +622 RiceCooker POS 5 I want to start eat better , so I be explore some simpler japanese food . right now , that be onigirus -- rice ball stuff with fish or something salty , and then wrap with norus . I eat these for breakfast nearly every day when I be in Japan because you could pick they up at the convenience store . anyway , after make a couple batch of rice on the stove -- which require a lot of watch and tend -- I decide to check out rice cooker price . turn out , you can find they cheap enough to make get one completely worth it . this little cooker be plenty big enough for one serve at a time -lrb- though it be capable of three cup of cook rice -rrb- . someone else 's review mention travel with this ... completely feasible because this thing be tiny ! the cooking bowl be sufficiently non-stick -- stove cook rice in the pan I have be a mess . with this cooker , not a grain be waste . Super hassle-free . great value . very glad I buy this . +944 RiceCooker POS 4 I only purchase this item because it be the cheapest programmable rice cooker I could find . the difference between the 8 cup and 20 cup be like a dollar . anyway , it work like any old other rice cooker . I have not fix more than 4 cup of uncooked rice in it -lrb- figure it will come in handy around Thanksgiving time -rrb- or stem meat in it . it be easier than my last cooker to clean and burn the rice on the bottom after leave on to long just like all the other rice cooker I have ever use . nothing spectacular -lrb- besides the delay feature which I love -rrb- , but do the job . +956 RiceCooker POS 5 this be like a single serve cooker . . I have one before that I assume be a 3 cup and when this get here it be half it be size this be pretty tiny , but actually exactly the size I need , enough for one or two small serving . nothing stick , nothing be overcooked , rice come out perfect . +270 RiceCooker NEG 1 this item do not include the steamer sit on the left of picure . the discription also state include a steamer , wrong the 737-1G have the steamer . it be a good rice cooker but for $ 5.00 more you can buy the one with the steamer . +838 RiceCooker POS 5 I be really please with this rice cooker\/slow cooker . it be simple to use and work very well . my daughter , husband and I be all use it and it be worth the counter space it take up . we have be cooking rice a whole lot more and I have also use it to make pot roast -lrb- 7 hour on the slow cooker ! -rrb- this be a great size machine for my family of three , I would recommend it for a family of four also . +126 RiceCooker POS 5 I love my little rice cooker . it be smaller and be perfect for a small family or single person . only problem I have be rice sticking to bottom but that be probably my fault . it be cute and take up little room in my cabinet . on the counter it take up little room as well . I use it about 3 time a week . definitely a good buy ! +514 RiceCooker NEG 1 this product do not correctly represent itself . there be a little cup inside , smaller than a american cup . this unit do not even make 8 full american size cup of finish rice . +560 RiceCooker POS 5 I have use this cooker twice now and it do a great job prepare rice . I have to avoid gluten so use this at work to make up my special diet food - very easy to use and clean up be a breeze . you do have to read and follow the instruction on how much liquid to use for the various type of rice etc. . all in all a great buy - in fact , I intend purchase the larger -lrb- 6 cup -rrb- version for use at home . +340 RiceCooker POS 5 we use this for cooking oatmeal , Rice , Grits , the list be endless . . best appliance in which we have invest in a long time ! we use the measure cup for all measurement . . work like a charm . . +206 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker be for my wife and I , it work great and cook small amount of rice for 2 or 3 people . very satisfy with my purchase , even buy one as a gift ! +437 RiceCooker POS 5 I be a big fan of this rice cooker . it be compact , make perfect rice every time , and keep it warm as long as you need without dry it out . I have use it for white , brown , basmatus , and wild rice as well as smaller grain like quinoa . it be very easy to use and clean . +303 RiceCooker POS 4 this be a good cooker for small amount of rice . 1 or 2 cup uncooked rice be perfect for this cooker . +369 RiceCooker POS 4 just get it and have use it twice . so far so good . cost half of what I pay for my old one -lrb- Zojirushi -rrb- which still work great . I hope this one last at least half as long , we will see . what I do like better about the black Decker , be the rice do not stick in the pan , much easier clean up . +636 RiceCooker NEG 1 last about 2 week . we use it twice , then the light would not turn off . we unplug and plug back in , will not turn on at all . I do not know how it happen . I have the red rival one that look just like it . last 6 year . this one , 2 week . junk . do not buy this one . +651 RiceCooker POS 5 so far , I have make Sushi Rice , and Brown Rice . both be cook to 100 % perfection . I use vegetable broth in the place of water for the brown rice , and no other seasoning be need . Delicious ! you will not regret this purchase . +411 RiceCooker NEG 1 worst rice cooker I ever use in the last 30 plus year . after use it 3 time , it just would not turn on . +745 RiceCooker NEU 3 small and cute . good price . actually it be a 1 cup uncooked rice and not 3 cup as advertise . Rice tend to stick to the bottom if leave on keep warm for more than 2 hour . cook rice well -lrb- make sure to use cold water and do not cook more than 1 cup of uncooked rice -rrb- . one big drawback be the power cord be too short ... only about 2 foot long . +966 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker be well worth the price . it slow cook the rice , but it taste fantastic . I have own this cooker for two year with moderate use and have have no problem with it at all . it be the best kitchen accessory I have ever buy . +index Domain Label Rating Review +68 RiceCooker POS 5 I have own rice cooker in the past , and my only complaint be that they be hard to clean because they have a hard-to-clean interior . this rice cooker have a wonderful non-stick surface that be easy to clean . it be fast , it be easy to use , and it make great rice ! it do not make a whole lot of rice , so you might want to get a larger model if you have a large family . I only ever make rice for myself , so this thing be perfect . +541 RiceCooker POS 5 I order this one to replace a similar but larger rice cooker I have use for 20 year . it work great , provide a measure cup , spatula and spatula holder on the cooker , and easy instruction . great product for the price . +182 RiceCooker POS 4 I buy this several year ago from the Amazon Warehouse deal . it really be great . it cook rice perfectly . I have cook both white and brown rice , and also use it for some recipe I find online . with the programming , you can also use it as a slow cooker . my only complaint be the manual -- it be hard to understand . +936 RiceCooker NEU 3 I purchase this rice cooker base on the review that I have read and honestly it only do a adequate job consider the cost . I have yet to produce Batsami rice that do not come out like mush from it . I have use two different brand of rice and have the same problem each time . White rice and some of the other brown rice come out perfect but not the Batsami . I have read that other less expensive cooker perform just as adequatly without the high dollar tag . it sure do look good sit on my counter though ... +960 RiceCooker POS 5 I be no stranger to rice cooker , I eat rice every day , I have have they for most of my adult life . my former rice cooker be a Panasonic fuzzy logic cooker , it be great , it last over 12 year and always make great rice , but the nonstick be flake off the inside bowl and it be time to retire it . the new Zojirushi ns-vgc05 be hand down the best rice cooker ever , the rice be always perfect , the design and construction be top notch . you simply can not find a better rice cooker , the Zojirushi be perfect . +150 RiceCooker POS 4 great rice cooker . even cooking and perfectly do every time -lrb- brown and white rice -rrb- . when program however there be some confusion as to whether or not the time enter be the time it start cooking rather than the time the rice with be finish . key point ! small footprint and convenient size for 2 -3 adult . +693 RiceCooker NEU 3 I get this little rice cooker because of the free shipping and it be red . I quite like it . it steam my rice on the bottom and some peice of salmon on top . the Salmon come out great . the only complaint I have be after spray pam inside the cooker the rice can burn and stick very easily . you can not just walk away from it . you have to stir from underneath at least twice during cooking so it do not burn . I quite like the little cup and spautlum that come with it . +22 RiceCooker POS 5 when my daughter take my Zojirushi rice cooker away to college I be hesitant to replace it with anything less than another Zojirushi . I have be pleasantly surprise to find the I now prefer my Sanyo cooker more than the Zojirushi . it clean up easier and have a much thicker cooking pan . Rice come out perfect every time . +116 RiceCooker POS 5 Works great , just like a rice cooker ought to . not a steamer , as some other review have mention . good size for we -lrb- a couple with no kid -rrb- , and small enough to fit in we tiny kitchen . also nice that it do not have pink flower on top . sometimes spit a little when open it too quickly -lrb- but most rice cooker be prone to that if they +704 RiceCooker POS 4 the product work just fine and create great tasting rice . the `` 3-cup '' title be a little misleading as you can only put 1.5 cup of rice into it . when cook , the rice be 3 cup worth . if you look for a cooker for 1 or 2 , this be great for the price ! if you be cook for a family , I suggest you go a little bigger than this . +915 RiceCooker POS 5 this be a very nice rice cooker . the 1st one I receive - work once , and then start burn the rice after that . contact aroma customer support . they representative be very cordial and helpful and instruct I to return the cooker since it be malfunction -lrb- the cooker screen display a `` c1 '' and the cooker would not turn off -rrb- . I return to Amazon for replacement with no problem . the 2nd unit work great , and cook brown rice excellently ! it do take longer than my previous rice cooker . brown rice take from 100 to 105 minute to cook . it also require less water than my previous cooker which be a surprise to I . I hope to cook many a cup of rice with this cooker -lrb- if it continue to function well -rrb- . +700 RiceCooker POS 5 first , there be some really wacky review here . accord to some this cooker can do some appalling thing . after have use this a few time I wonder what they be do wrong . I can only conclude that they do not follow the instruction . I will echo other reviewer : if you follow the instruction precisely it will perform superbly . I do not really like rice and I never fix it for myself , but my dog have a sensitive g.i. tract -lrb- one of the and require a full cup of rice with each meal in addition to he normal food . the rice work wonder . but it leave I with the need to cook a enormous amount of rice on a persistent basis , so I decide to get this cooker . I find it incredibly convenient and easy to clean . there be zero mess , which leave I confused about some of the other review . all I can say be that I follow the instruction pretty precisely and have have no problem of any sort . the inner container work as a superb storage unit for the refrigerator . the one thing that I do be take a piece of plastic wrap and cover the container with it . there be a small hole in the lid that allow steam to escape during cooking , but I want to plug it up to keep the rice from dry out in the refrigerator . the only thing that I can add that be anywhere close to a negative comment be that when I make 14 cup it fill the container completely . if I try to make 16 cup it would possibly exceed the storage capacity of the container and create some of the problem other reviewer have note . so while I strongly recommend this cooker , I also recommend cooking no more than 14 cup . but I can not imagine many people need that much . so as long as you follow instruction but keep the amount just a bit below the recommend maximum this will be a outstanding rice cooker for almost anyone . +934 RiceCooker NEG 1 wow - i be so look forward to use a efficient , compact rice steamer which cook up nice fluffy rice with no worry ... not . this unit boil instead of steam my counter top be cover in starchy goo and with no surprise the rice be cook all uneven and hard ... then i finally return it through the postal service and it cost just as much to send it back as it be cost . . not one to make a habit of complain but ... ... +388 RiceCooker NEG 1 teflon come off in big patch within 2 month . . this be junk , it seem pretty unsafe i have to throw mine away +589 RiceCooker POS 5 I love this rice cooker . I have have it for about 6 month now , and do not regret it . the other model I be look at be the Zojirushi NS-LAC05XA Micom 3-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer , Stainless Steel the rice it make be just perfect . taste every bit as good -lrb- and better -rrb- than the rice you get when you go to PF Chang 's or you favorite Thai restaurant . plus , the smell of rice cooking in you house be delicious . I never realize how good it smell . the steam option be pretty handy , although there be no easy way to pull the steamer out when you be do steam . it be pretty hot , and the little tab to hold on to be recess , so that be mildly frustrating . but it do a good job of steam potato and vegetable . I have not perfect egg yet as some have turn out a little rubbery . also as mention in other review , the steamer do not hang from the top , but rather sit on the bottom . this be unfortunate due to the fact that you can not really cook and steam at the same time . I try it once with quinoa and the steamer end up be bury in quinoa . but , the steamer do a fairly good job . the porridge setting work great for hot cereal . combine with its timer , you can have cereal ready precisely when you wake up . the unit only tell you when you have around 12 minute leave to cook , but that be due to the nature of the fuzzy logic . it really do not know how long it will take to cook until all the water have boil off , and then it steam for the 12ish minute . so that be why it can only give you that much notice . as for the time it take to cook food , this be originally a frustration of mine when look at fuzzy logic rice cooker . one of the reason I want a rice cooker be because I remember my old on\/off one in college get the job do in 20 minute or so . why do these fancier one take so much longer ? here be why . on the normal cycle , the fuzzy logic cooker first soak for several minute , then it cook off all the water , and then it steam for about 12 minute . apparently that be the proper way to get that perfect rice . a normal cycle take 35-56 minute -lrb- accord to the manual , accord to I it seem to be about 45 min -rrb- to cook depend on the amount of rice . a quick cycle take 32-45 minute to cook -lrb- accord to the manual , accord to I it seem to be about 35 minute , although I have not really time it -rrb- . the quick cycle cut out the soak time beforehand , and I have not notice the difference in flavor . and technically , if you be frustrated it be take longer than the on\/off variety , you could just open it up once it cook off the water , and you should be get the type of rice you get from a on\/off cooker in about the same time . I have also buy and use the Ultimate Rice Cooker cookbook : 250 No-Fail Recipes for Pilafs , Risottos , Polenta , Chilis , Soups , Porridges , Puddings and more , from Start to finish in you Rice Cooker -lrb- Non -rrb- there have be some great recipe to use , but it be not really a college student 's guide to quick and easy full meal . it be a bit more involve . my only other complaint be that I do have it boil over once when cooking tapioca with milk . I be only cook a small amount , and so I be not sure what go wrong , but I do try it again without it boil over . the boil over liquid get in every nook and cranny . to the Sanyo 's credit , it have work just fine since , however , not to they credit , it be impossible to take it apart to give it a really good cleaning . but , it have only happen that once , and now I keep a closer eye on it . also , the two pot be great . it be nice know I can keep a pot just for rice , and one to experiment with . overall , this be great . I use it once or twice a week . I have use it to steep tea , cook instant meal from the package , cook bean , make rice pudding , and do a lot of other thing than cook rice . I highly recommend it . it be a great addition to you counter . I hope this review be helpful . let I know in the comment if you have any question that I can answer about this rice cooker . +397 RiceCooker POS 5 I get this rice cooker as a wedding present four year ago . my hubby and I have use it 1-3 time a week , and it still work like new . it make perfect , delicious rice every time ! yes , it do not make massive quantity , but we have feed 4 people rice with dinner if you portion be not too big . highly recommend ! +543 RiceCooker POS 5 I order this rice cooker to replace the one I have for about 15 year . I like this model that come with the big spoon holder which I now use every time . it cook rice well : as someone say in a review post before I place my order , a rice cooker be a rice cooker . and since it be the same size as my former rice cooker , it fit the old pot that I have . a full batch of cook rice in this pot easily serve 6-8 hungry people . the delivery be also timely so I be very satisfied with the purchase . +779 RiceCooker POS 5 I have use my Zojirushi Fuzy Logic -lrb- I have no idea what fuzzy logic mean -rrb- Rice Cooker for at least 3 year for medium grain white rice . the rice be always purfect . this year , I discover `` Rice Select '' brand rice blend and love the Royal Blend Whole Grain : Texmati brown and red rice with barley & rye . you can order this rice from Amazon . the `` Semi Brown '' set work perfectly and take about a hour to cook . I live near Denver , so the altitude be a factor . I add water just past the mark on the cooking pan so the rice be not dry when do . the clean up really be not that hard and be way better than a pot of rice overboiling on my stove . +241 RiceCooker NEU 3 I purchase it 2 month back . the description say 3 cup uncooked rice . but the size information seem to be misleading . the size be comparatevely smaller than what i have expect . you can not cook 3 cup full with the measure cup provide with the box . there be a mark in the cup to which you should fill . so the measurement of cooker be mislead . so I would suggest to go for a higher capacity cooker if you be look 3 cup of uncooked rice . +566 RiceCooker POS 5 I never think I need a rice cooker , I have be cooking excellent rice on the stove for 30 + year , but I when I read about this cooker as also a good steel-cut oats cooker , I decide it be time to get one . I read review on all the other model and finally settle on this one . I absolutely can not believe how much I love this thing . it make great rice and great oatmeal -lrb- soaked , which be what I want -rrb- and it be so super easy ! so easy . be sure to read some of the other review here that tell you how much water to use and simply put , how to use the machine , because the manual might as well be in greek . haha . oh -- when I get this , I immediately think I should have get the larger unit , because the maximum amount you can make be 3 cup white rice , and less for brown rice . but -- I now think it be perfect , we be a 2 person household , and it be so easy to use that there be no reason not to make fresh rice every day if you want to . also , I order the Ultimate Rice Cooker cookbook , Hensperger , at the same time and it be great , very helpful , informative and have yummy recipe . very highly recommend . +784 RiceCooker NEG 2 really want to love this thing , but it just cook too unevenly , result in burn rice . stir half-way through , add olive oil ; try every suggestion on the other review . one thing though , it do not spray out of the pan and make a mess on my counter , so that be nice . use it three time , all the same result . it be go back , sad to say . : -lrb- +279 RiceCooker POS 4 this be awsome and worth buying . it be big enough for three person and cooking very fast -lrb- 30-40 minute -rrb- . the steamer be a little bit annoying . you can not cook rice and steam the vegetable at the same time . +278 RiceCooker POS 5 Rice be cook just right . heavy duty bowl be impressive . small size be perfect for 1 or 2 people +180 RiceCooker POS 5 use it all the time , love it . motivate to get one for everyone i know it be so incredible . easy clean up too . this be the best cooker\/warmer ever !!! i will not go without one of these in my life ever again . get one !! +349 RiceCooker POS 5 I have be debate buy a rice cooker for year , but I could never rationalize buy one . I know that ` good ' rice cooker be expensive , it would take up extra kitchen space for a very specialize device , and I be a little worried it would take a lot of trial and error to get it to work properly . my decision change recently when I decide that I need to eat less meat and process food . the most sensible way to do that seem to be to replace some of my diet with simple grain and bean . these food be really cheap , they keep a really long time -lrb- dry -rrb- , they be not heavily process , and they re-heat well . as simple as oatmeal , rice , and bean be to make , the inconvenience be still the primary factor keep I from make they a large part of my diet . when I discover that a rice cooker could be use for all of these food I be sell . I go with this model because it be on the cheaper end of `` fuzzy logic '' cooker , and because it have excellent review . I have be use it for a few month now , and I must say , my initial concern be completely unwarranted . First off , the footprint be very small -lrb- less than 1 by 1.5 ft -rrb- , plus the handle and retractable cord make stow super easy . kitchen space be a very minor issue . this model be also very simple to use ; set timer , set mode , and start . with that , it make spectacular quality white or brown rice every time . since I start use this cooker the amount of grain and rice I eat have go from basically none to over 30 % of my diet . give how much cheaper rice , bean , and oatmeal be when compare to typical food this translate to substantial savings over time . it be also more environmentally conscious to eat that way . I would recommend this cooker to nearly anybody , it be just so simple to use . +586 RiceCooker POS 5 I get the 3-cup cooker for Christmas last year . I would add it to my wish list , after see it on a list of top-rated product on Amazon . I be so glad I find it . I make stir-fry about twice a week . it be good for you , I love it , and my better half could eat it every day and not tire of it . however , cooking rice be always a hassle . constantly watch the stove , stir it , and then remove it from heat at just the right time . I be try to work out the timing so the rice would finish at the same time as my stir-fry , so both be hot , but it rarely work out . and do not get I start on brown rice , which take much longer to cook . I could never get the timing right . but with this rice cooker , all I have to do be load the rice , add the water , and start it . since it keep rice warm without dry it out for up to 12 hour , I can start it long before I fire up the wok and it 'll be ready whenever we be . my complaint be relatively minor . the instruction be not translate into english very well , but as long as you know to put the rice in before you add the water , that be 90 % of what you need to know . I do not think the cooking bowl be dishwasher safe , but it be easily clean by soak in hot water with a little soap overnight . also , the ` cup ' you use for measure rice be actually not a full-sized cup . however , two ` cup ' of brown rice make enough for she and I to eat a full dinner , and still have enough for two lunch-sized leftover portion , so this be not a drawback for I . cooking my favorite meal have never be easier . +294 RiceCooker POS 4 the cooker seem completely top notch . the only problem , and I consider it a significant problem , be the translate owner 's manual for we who speak English . I do not know , but translation into whatever other language use the symbol\/script character in write -lrb- japanese ? korean ? -rrb- may have a somewhat fractured translation as well . I can see no excuse for the translate owner 's manual to not have be revise into a more clear translation , because the email customer relation promotional thing I receive from Zojirushi seem to have be write by someone who speak clear English as they native tongue . do not get I wrong . I have nothing at all against asian people , really , not a thing , but the owner 's manual for any product should be immediately clear to someone who have never own or operate the product at this quality bracket . +985 RiceCooker POS 5 First off , I be chinese and be basically a life long rice eater . Rice be definitely my daily staple . I do not feel right when I do not have a bowl of rice or two in my stomach daily . therefore , I use rice cooker daily . my parent bring I up use Tiger brand rice cooker . I use to have a basic Zojirushi that I use to cook brown rice for 10 year until it finally stop work last month . great durable rice cooker , but near the end , the rice get burn on the bottom . I then buy a cheap aroma rice cooker from Walmart , but the brown rice come out hard , chewy and in one piece ! after do extensive research online and on Amazon , I decide to go with the Sanyo with fuzzy logic , since it get great review from many different website . since most Zojirushis in the US be no longer make in Japan , I figure why not get the best of both world : a reasonably price rice cooker with all the bell an whistle . I order this from Amazon Warehouse deal and the unit come literally brand spanking new . 2 nice , thick durable non-stick cooking bowl with accurate measurement on the inside for rice and water . I make a batch of brown rice and it come out great ! the timer be easy to use and work like a charm , beep when the rice be do . in the morning . I wash the rice and throw it in the cooker and set the timer to cook for dinner time . by the time I get home from work , I have a perfectly cook , tender , fluffy bowl of hot brown rice for dinner ! no burn bottom and so easy to clean , with no rice gloop to clean from the steam vent -lrb- like my old Zojirushi do -rrb- and two replaceable steam lid include . this machine be a wonder and a great deal ! you can spend mega buck on the Zoji or the Tiger , but why ? +290 RiceCooker NEG 1 let 's keep this brief . I use it 5 time , and it break . I miss the return window . at least Amazon be nice enough to give I a credit for the future . I rarely leave bad review , but this really stunk . I would say to spend a little more and get something that have a little better quality . Zojirushi , for example , would never break . Oster be just lucky I live in LA and recently give up carb , or I would probably be more piss . +253 RiceCooker NEG 1 inexpensive product . cook well for about one month . first gripe be that the cooker arrive with minor damage , the kind that be cause by Amazon shipping . the void space in the shipping box be fill with a small amount of paper , which do not protect the product . the spoon holder plastic loop be crack and there be a small ding in the inner pot . item be still functional and Amazon back the product and provide a discount . however , the product stop cook properly after about one month . spend the extra money for a better product and avoid aroma cooker . +292 RiceCooker NEU 3 not much to say about this one ... it make rice . it also make one heck of a mess . the steam outlet on the lid like to spew starchy water in about a 8 '' cone in front of the appliance , make cleanup a nightmare . +703 RiceCooker NEG 2 sadly , I be not happy with this product . I read several post about it and think it would do the trick . within a few week there be a number of `` ping '' that develop on the inside of the cooker . not the removable pan but the cooker itself . when cooking brown rice I have to use less than 2 of the little cup of rice or else it boil over and be not easy to clean ! the steamer cap pop out easily but if you use this cooker regularly , like I do , it take more than a quick rinse to clean . I have have to get a toothpick in there to clean it thoroughly . bottom line : I will not buy this cooker again . +54 RiceCooker POS 4 my wife and I use we large rice maker all the time . before we get it , I think , `` how stupid , who need a rice maker ? '' it just do not make sense to I . we always make rice on the stove top and it work perfect . why would we need another thing take up cabinet space ? a rice maker however become something I learn to love . you do not need to think about it at all . fill up the water and rice and go . if you forget about it , who care , it know when its do and switch to keep warm automatically . since we love it so much , we recently pick this up for we vacation house . its normally just the two of we , so we only need a tiny one . do not plan on make rice for more than two people in this , because its REALLY small for a rice maker , but for a small number of people , its perfect . +237 RiceCooker POS 5 I purchase this cooker in the beginning of February 2011 after read many review because I want the perfect one that be within my budget . the cooker arrive quickly but the first time I try it out , it just work ok but it keep switch itself on to warm even though the rice be definitely not cook . I try turn it back onto cook but it would not let I do it so I add some water , mix the rice and close the lid , it then let I put it on cook . it do this a few time , in the end of a long wait , the rice be cook and taste pretty good . I try this cooker a few time and it do the same thing , so I contact amazon and return it for a exchange of the same machine . I think it might be defective and want to give it another chance . Amazon give I a prepaid return label for I to print out and I choose to have UPS come to my home to pick it up , Amazon send out a replacement . the UPS guy arrive around noon the follow day and pick up the return , about 10 minute later , Fed ex arrive with my replacement . I be impressed ! I immediately wash the inner bowl , steam tray , measure cup and spoon and put it to the test . I make a batch of rice , the minimum amount which be 2 cup raw rice , set my own timer and in exactly 20 minute , the rice be completely cook , nice and fluffy , it be perfect ! a lot of steam come out of the lid when I open it . I make more rice , this time make 3 cup and it cook in about 35 minute , the machine do need a little water add and mixed and back onto cook . this really work very well and I be very satisfied with it . no more cooking rice on the stove for I , I will recommend this rice cooker to anyone look for a good affordable machine . I have not yet use the veggie tray but will be try it out next . +175 RiceCooker POS 5 the aroma arc-998 8-cup rice cooker have make cooking rice easier than ever for I . I love rice and have recently get into indian Curry so I have be make a bit of rice lately . while make rice over the stove can be a quicker alternative to this rice cooker , the arc-998 have a no mess and simple one button solution to make delicious fluffy rice without worry about pot and spill over . the Rice Cooker use a simple digital interface to determine which kind of rice you plan to use . there be steam , White rice and brown Rice and a Warm\/Off button . depend on the mode you select determine how the cooker will steam\/cook you rice . set-up be incredibly easy . just add rice to the removable bowl , add water and put into the rice cooker . Press the corresponding button and walk away . when finish the cooker will sound a alarm before switch to warm mode to avoid over-cook the rice . depend on the amount of rice\/water you add to the pot determine how long it can take to make a batch . White Rice can take upward of 30-50min -lrb- 2-8 cup -rrb- and Brown can take upward of 1hr 40min - 2hr -lrb- 2-6 cup -rrb- as you can see brown take much longer than average with this cooker , and that be because of how it handle the rice . it cook it longer and slower due to the rice be heavier . as a RICE COOKER the arc-998 might be a little slow compare to other model but it do what it be suppose to do , and do it well . have make a few batch of rice already -lrb- brown rice -rrb- I only run into slight burning once . that occur for the rice that be directly over the heating element and be burnt prior to the device auto switching to the warm state . soak the rice like the instruction say get rid of the slight burning . however do not leave you rice on WARM for too long or it will begin to burn . every batch of rice that I make come out fluffy and delicious , the rice tasting far better than it do when make in a pot over a stove . the steam process bring out the flavor I think . as a steamer the arc-998 be sub-par at best . while it can be use as a steamer it really do not do a good job when compare to a actual steamer . if you try to steam with rice forget about it . you rice will be do far before the food . if you wish to steam food by itself it do a much better job , but do not be shock if you might have to run it through the steamer process again for another 5-10 minute . OVERALL in the end this be a great rice cooker . it have white and brown rice option but can handle a wide variety of rice from the Long and Short grain family . it be a very simple rice cooker that get the job do , and do so be quiet and clean . the steam option be sub-par in my opinion , but for the price the aroma arc-998 be worth the investment . 5 star ! pro + simple setup + cook rice perfectly no matter how much you put in -lrb- anywhere from 2cup to 8cup -rrb- + condensation collector to avoid get that rice grime put into the air + no mess design -lrb- no spill over -rrb- + optional ability to be a steamer con - steamer option not the best solution - Hinged Lid make clean the grime that build up on the lid difficult at time - longer than average cook time \* note : comment section will list cooking times\/measurements for White and Brown rice +928 RiceCooker POS 4 the instruction be not the best so first time user may use too much water . -lrb- my spouse do -rrb- in short : add dry rice to bowl , then add water , pour out , add water , pour out , etc. to rinse about 4 time . use the supply plastic tool as a sieve . then with the WET RICE STILL in the bowl add water to the bowl indicator line . do not use some typical rule of thumb like 1 cup water per cup rice . when cook , stir rice in bowl immediately . I would have give 5 star but steam and some yuck come out the top vent . +351 RiceCooker NEG 1 I buy this product 6 month back . work well for I until last week when it suddenly stop heating . consider other 1 star review where it break only after 2-3 week , I find myself lucky to have extract 6 month of use from this . nevertheless one buy these thing to last longer than that ... do not recommend . +743 RiceCooker NEU 3 this be the 2nd or 3rd aroma Rice Cooker we have own . maybe we have bad luck with rice cooker , I do not know . this model , which we love when it work for the first 2-3 year , be wonderful . but somewhere around the end of year 3 , they begin to fail . it begin to shut off too early because the sensor inside be fail . still , because it make great rice , that be why we keep buy the same model . but do not look for it to last more than couple of year . +526 RiceCooker NEG 2 small and convenient . cook rice really well . unfortunately stop work after 5 use . I will return it and try a replacement in hope I just get a dud . +901 RiceCooker NEU 3 this rice cooker work fine and can hold around 9 cup of cook rice . the problem be that the rice be slightly burnt onthe bottom and it take a long time to cook . +157 RiceCooker POS 5 I replace my old rice cooker with this unit , think I could cook better rice plus other food . I be impressed with the cooking performance and ease of use . I eat brown rice and it be not only easy to make , but I time it to be ready when I get home from work . the rice turn out wonderful . I mix up different dish and use the slow cook pot on some day to make chicken stew or noodle soup . great idea to include both pot . high quality and nice look . I keep it on my counter . +862 RiceCooker POS 5 I do a lot of research before buy this and have have it for several month now . this rice cooker be great . Perfect rice every time ; white , brown , wild , rice of any kind . Easy to use , durable , easy to clean , compact , look good , a good user experience -lrb- the designer be think when they make this -rrb- . thing to be aware of : it take a while to cook the rice - over a hour for brown rice . also , porridge in Japan be a soup like substance so if you want the non-watery north american kind you will need to adjust the porridge to water ratio . if I remember correctly it be 1:2.5 ratio of porridge to water . +625 RiceCooker POS 4 quick and easy to use , good size for one person or two , durability to be test . +851 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker get the job do . plus , the ability to steam food be really great to have . it be a well design product . a relative of mine even comment about how impressive the product look . +20 RiceCooker POS 4 first it be a good rice cooker , not expensive , do what it be suppose to do , and quicker than another rice cooker we have . second it work also as a `` slow cooker '' in my home , and we be satisfy so far . third , I like its transparent glass lid , easy to see through . so , recommend , esp . consider its relatively lower price tag . +223 RiceCooker POS 4 this be the first rice cooker I have ever own and so far it be great . if you follow the instruction that come with it the water do not boil over and make a huge mess . but I find if I try to steam vegetable while cooking rice at the same time -lrb- as I have be tell you can do -rrb- you need to add a bit more water than specify or the rice will burn a little on the very bottom . I do wish I have buy one with a timer so that I could set it up and leave it , however this one will switch from cooking to warm by itself . the only problem be that if you leave it for too long on `` Warming '' the rice will burn . but all-in-all this be a great product , especially for first time user like I . +565 RiceCooker POS 5 I just buy this rice cooker , my first by the way , from target last Friday so I have only have it for about 5 day at the time of this review . be that as it may , I have use it 3 time already and each time my rice have come out perfect each and every time . I have not have any sticking or burning on the bottom at all but I have also make sure that I rinse my rice properly too so I do not know if that be the key to some of the other people review that say they have have that happen to they . so far I have only use Jasmine rice but look forward to try some brown rice in the near future and have a good feeling that it will also turn out great . I do love the little plastic water catcher that fit in the back of the cooker that catch any water that collect on the lid when you open it , genius . +420 RiceCooker POS 5 I have not actually use it for Rice yet , but I have use it twice for other meal . it be great . +800 RiceCooker POS 5 there be not much to be say about this little guy ... for about the same cost as a large pork fry rice -lrb- chinese be expensive outside of Boston -rrb- you can have a great little rice cooker . one ` measure ' of rice cook up to perfection in about 20 minute ... Cleanup be also easy , the nonstick pan wash up with ease . the only con to this 3-cup machine - be now I want a bigger one ! +523 RiceCooker POS 5 I love this rice cooker , it be so easy to use and steam vegetable be great ! very happy with this product and highly recommend it . actually , I send one to a friend of mine for she birthday and she love it too ! +832 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy this after get sick of a cheap $ 39 rice cooker always burn my rice and spit rice juice all over the kitchen counter . the rice from this thing be fluffy and delicious ! who know that rice could taste so good ! Easy to clean , work perfectly and perfect size for we 4 folk in this house . love it ! +905 RiceCooker POS 4 we purchase this rice cooker last week and have make two batch , one brown and one white . the brown rice be perfect and taste like it come from a restaurant . the white rice , however , be complete mush . anyone have any suggestion ? we follow the instruction on the bag . great size , product look great , we just need help with the white rice . +546 RiceCooker POS 5 it be probably a little bigger than what I have expect or need , but who know when you might actually need 20 cup of rice . it also have a couple of nice feature that I do not expect . there be a steam condensate catcher on the back of the unit so that when you open the lid , it do not all run down the back of the unit . it detach easily for cleaning . also , mine come with a rice paddle so do not bother purchase a extra one because it be include . the cord be fairly long ... about 4 foot so that help with versatility in appliance placement . the first batch of rice I make be a brown , red , and long grain wild rice mix . it probably could have use just a touch extra water or perhaps I over fill the rice measurement cup . the brown and red rice be perfect but the long grain wild rice could have use a extra few minute or some extra water . probably a pitfall of mix different type of rice and not a shortcoming of the machine . the only drawback that I see be that the `` steam '' tray be make of plastic . I would have hope they would make it out of metal like the main rice compartment but I be more of a grill fan than a steamer fan so I probably will not use it anyway . all in all , pretty happy with the unit so far . Pretty much agree with the other positive review . the negative review about the capacity be a strange one . it yield up to 20 cup of cook rice from 10 cup of dry rice ... hope that clear up any confusion . enjoy and happy rice make ! +322 RiceCooker POS 4 this rice cooker be perfect for one meal for two people , or for one person , with leftovers . I can not cook to save my life , but the rice have be perfect every time I have use this . I would give it 5 star if it have a longer cord -lrb- the cord be very short -rrb- and a on-off switch , tho -- it be incredibly annoying to have to keep plug & unplug it ... but in general , work great . +99 RiceCooker POS 5 - timer -lrb- set it and forget it -rrb- ; we set the timer the night before or in the morning . never have to wait for rice , the rice wait for we and have a keep warm setting . - cooking ; the rice cook better than anything I have ever have . blow away steamer or stove-top cooking . - non-stick ; easy to clean the only complaint , as mention in plenty of review , be the instruction be a bit lack ; but that be not a reason to not buy . +164 RiceCooker NEG 1 so I be extremely excited unwrap this small , very cute rice cooker , but it do not last for very long . actually , it do not last at all . I follow all the instruction and all the safety precaution etc. . it start cooking and the rice be almost cook when it just stop work . the light be no longer on . it officially die . I seek to return the item but after find out the international postage and handle cost -lrb- since I live in Australia -rrb- which be more than the original cost of the item -lrb- + postage -rrb- , it be clear that there be no point in return the item : -lrb- +483 RiceCooker POS 5 I will keep this short and sweet since so many people have post great review . this be one awesome rice cooker ! if you love rice , you will love this rice cooker . yes its pricey however any good fuzzy logic rice cooker will be . you cant screw up rice on this machine . wait Ill take that back . I think it be here I read one bad review with someone probably try to cook minute rice in the cooker . anyway follow the instruction and you will get great rice everytime . keep rice fresh and warm for a long time . one thing buyer should think about with this rice cooker , if you like to steam thing in a rice cooker this be not the one for you . you cant steam anything be a fuzzy logic . +866 RiceCooker NEU 3 update 12\/10 : I have have this cooker for a year now and be ready to pass it on and get a better one . initially I think it be fine , but I be tired of pot of rice with a crust at the bottom or hard-ish grain . this cooker be basically a hot plate . like the Scarecrow : it have no brain . it do not sense you rice , and it do not make any adjustment . the fancier and more expensive pot do . I be glad I have it for a year , so I could realize that I like have a rice cooker , and I 'll be glad when this one be go and I have a better one . original review : I be not give this rice cooker 5 star because I just can not get \* that \* excite about it . hey , it be just a rice cooker . but it do exactly what it be suppose to do and do it reliably . it be a great size for my family of 2 adult and 2 child , although , like other I be pretty surprise when I see how small the bowl be . to answer some specific concern of reviewer : the rice do not stick in the least , and I have not have it get brown and crusty on the bottom ; I have not have any problem with a starchy mess come out the steam hole ; brown rice need a bit more water -lrb- as it say in the instruction -rrb- and come out just fine . the instruction say that the cooker will take between 20 minute for a small amount of white rice to 60 minute for the largest amount of brown rice . I make a full pot of short-grain brown rice just last night , and I be sure that it do not take 60 minute . in addition , once cooking be complete , the cooker automatically switch to a warm cycle , and the rice can be hold in this way for up to 5 hour . +208 RiceCooker POS 5 just get and use once ... rice be a little too mushy . will try a little less water otherwise I like it . just wish it have remain time on the clock . would be better to schedule dinner around know when rice be do . +837 RiceCooker POS 5 my elderly dog be on a strict `` chicken and rice '' diet due to food allergy . I have be cook the rice in my crockpot in the broth leave from cook the chicken . Cleaning have be a nightmare and a half ! the rice cooker , on the other hand clean up so quickly and completely . I still use the crockpot for the chicken -lrb- even though I could steam it in the rice cooker -rrb- and I save the broth for soup . cleanup have become a breeze . could not be happier . +854 RiceCooker POS 4 Great little rice cooker . get water go very quickly and be very easy to clean . I do not like the rice cooker with the lid that you can not remove and wash -- we cook mostly brown rice and there be lot of bran-like stuff that the foam carry to the lid , so what be the point if you can not wash the lid ? Paper towel just do not cut it . sure it sputter a bit but a quick spritz of olive oil and salt cut that down a lot . have to stir the rice once be not a hassle , and actually probably it would not be a big deal if you skip that . note the supply measure cup be a little smaller than my 1 cup measure cup . the only thing I would recommend to Oster be that they follow through on they focus of a compact rice cooker -- what other feature would be useful to someone who need a small rice cooker ? how about design the lid and handle with slot or cut out so the spoon and measure cup can be store or rest on the cooker ? +677 RiceCooker NEG 1 this be awesome the first and even the second time I use it . then it burn out and never work again . thats right , I get a solid two cup of rice out of this bad boy and then boom . `` hey , I be you amazing rice maker , just kid ... I like to break . '' anyways , it be $ 13 so I can not be so bummed but I would have like to at least get a third cup and then maybe I would 2 star it . +806 RiceCooker POS 5 no more scorched rice to scrape of the bottom of the pan ! like everyone say , it make perfect rice every time . Bismati , Sushi , short grain , long grain , med grain ... it do not matter what you throw at it , perfect . I even throw in carrot , onion , and bell pepper , guess what ? all cook perfectly . for normal -lrb- med grain -rrb- every day rice I use the quick cycle , since it skip the 15 minute soak time ... I normally do not soak anyway unless I be do asian dish . clean very easily , pot be thick aluminum and non-stick , the heating element be a solid chunk of aluminum that heat evenly . I be impress by the high quality construction , even though this particular model be make in China . if you think about it , get it now , cant go wrong with a Zoji . +993 RiceCooker POS 5 it be brainless ! I add the rice and water and push the button and forget about it until it be do . ditto with the potato . each be do very well , easier than check the pot on the stove . love it ! +911 RiceCooker POS 5 I have use and own several rice cooker . this be a very reliable model with good capacity . it make really good rice . be sure not to lose the measure `` cup '' because it be smaller than a regular cup measure . I do not think you can cook brown rice and I never have -lrb- I think you need the fuzzy logic cooker to do that -rrb- . this rice cooker should last several year . +488 RiceCooker NEG 1 buy this product 6 month ago ... just fry the electrical componet out of the blue ... b & d suck ... run away ! pay for the higher end rice cooker and do you self a favor ! +386 RiceCooker NEG 1 both the name and product description for this item be incorrect . this be a rice cooker , but it be not also a steamer . I contact customer service about the incorrect information on this page , but they only response be `` if you do not like it , you can send it back . '' do not buy this product if you want a rice cooker that can also be use as a steamer . +528 RiceCooker POS 4 all these great review ... I do not get it . I have try several way to try and make rice without success . whether its a half cup or a whole it take well over 1.5 hour to cook and I end up with moush . a few minute in the microwave come out so much better . I should have return it when I have the chance . 6\/23\/2010 Update . for those who have request I update my review ... yes I do use top quality rice and I do rinse it first , but what I have find be you need to play with the quantity of water inorder to make good rice . both the rice and Zojirushi say to use a 1:1 ratio of water and rice , but I have find it need to be closer to 1.25:1 water to rice . now that I have find the correct ratio it do cook rice well ... I just wish it be quicker than a hour and a half . +147 RiceCooker NEG 2 I buy the aroma arc-998 Rice Cooker on April 11 , 2011 . I be so glad I keep the receipt ! the good : it be sleek , pretty , contemporary and digital ! what be not to love ? I 'll tell you . the bad : this cooker work great for about 5 use ... I cook white rice , brown rice , and steamed vegetable . then it just stop cooking . the light come on , the timer still go off ... and I open the cover to find my rice sit in lukewarm water . I turn it off , hit the rice button again . eventually the timer go off . nothing ! folk , this be the third aroma cooker I have own . I replace a bad manual aroma cooker with this one , mistakenly think that this one might actually ... well , you know , COOK RICE . I will not make the mistake of buy a fourth . as I say , I be glad I keep the receipt because the cooker come with a 1-year warranty and I be send it back to they for replacement . I do not hold high hope that the replacement will be much better ... but I refuse to just throw out a $ 50 cooker out of sheer principle . one thing be for sure : I will never buy another aroma product . if you buy this cooker -lrb- or anything else make by aroma -rrb- , keep the receipt and the box ! I have a feeling you 'll need they . +459 RiceCooker NEG 1 this rice cooker burn the rice every time in one spot on the bottom , very frustrating , even try add additional water , no help . also burn when on warm . +387 RiceCooker POS 5 love this product . take a little while to learn how to use it , but my whole family really like it . +876 RiceCooker POS 5 for $ 100 , this be really the best rice cooker you can find . it be price fluctuate over time , so make sure you purchase it at the right time . we be use it every day now . it be convenient and easy to operate , perfect for a busy family of 2 or 3 . but if you need to feed some big eater , this might not the best choice . +637 RiceCooker POS 5 I be very happy with this little cooker . it be so easy , and rice to perfection , I always have trouble with get cook properly . no issue with this one , and it steam also .

I price one at a discount retailer and it be much , much more . love amazon . +332 RiceCooker POS 4 make just about enough rice for too people to have a light meal , very good for the price but some people may be surprise by how small it be +123 RiceCooker POS 4 the only reason this do not earn a 5 star be that it take SO LONG to make rice . now ... I know rice be rice , and there be no quick and easy way to get it from the grain to the chinese Box , but cooking two cup of this properly -lrb- meaning follow instruction perfectly and let it sit after cooking to allow the grain to finish puffing -rrb- take a easy half a hour . I doubt there be inexpensive machine out there that can cook it faster , so I guess I could give it a 5 star for effort ... but overall , for a little cooker under $ 20 , we have be very happy ! it be nice to just throw in rice and water and let it sit til its finish ... no stir or make sure the grain do not burn . you will not be dissatisfy . I do not leave many review here , but think this could help as I do not see other talk about this in they review . enjoy ! +91 RiceCooker POS 4 this be big enough for my family of three , but just big enough . it be really simple to use and make my rice to perfection after a few false start with add a bit too much water . Make sure you do not add too much water -lrb- again I stress ! -rrb- because it may boil over . +402 RiceCooker POS 5 definitely worth the time look for it , and the money spend on it . : -rrb- I could not be more happy with it . Rice cook beautifully in it , and keep for QUITE a while . -lrb- we accidentally leave rice in there over the weekend once . it do not leave a smell or get all wet\/yellow or anything ! ... though we do not eat it . -rrb- +957 RiceCooker POS 4 pro : Perfect for cooking rice\/beans on a daily basis , I have be use it for almost 4 month . the quality of the non-stick material be good , but you need to be careful while wash the inner container and ensure scratch do not build up . I generally use it to cook 1.5-2 cup of rice . the cooking time be very fast compare to other similar device I have own . con : as a result of the fast cooking time , spillage occur even while cooking small quantity . it do create a mess on the kitchen counter . a trade off with the speed of boil would have be nice . +794 RiceCooker POS 5 I be absolutely thrill when someone buy this from we wedding registry . it be easy to use and make really great rice . it be rather expensive and I probably would not have buy it for myself because of it . since someone else be nice enough to buy it for we , I have fall in love with it . now that I have use it so many time , I realize that its worth every penny . +954 RiceCooker POS 5 I own a similar Rice Cooker for over 30 year and it just finally quit work . so , I select this one and I love it . I find that when cooking rice that it work best to use the package recommendation for water\/rice ratio rather than the direction that come with the cooker . I have also steamed vegetable in it and that work great too ! love this rice cooker ! +572 RiceCooker POS 5 I recently buy this product to replace one that the lid break and I really like it ! it cook and steam very well . I be very pleased with its look and the size be compact , which be perfect for my small kitchen . +260 RiceCooker POS 5 great color , kinda red \/ burgandy . make up to 6 cup but we have to adjust the fluid level for different kind of rice -lrb- brown and white -rrb- experiment . the size be smaller than you think and fit on tight counter like ours . +83 RiceCooker POS 5 I purchase this item from target - on sale for $ 29.99 this week ! I absolutely love it . I have only use it once so far , but it be so easy and the rice come out perfect . I be try to decide if I should buy this one or a expensive brand like Tiger that my friend have , and this rice taste the same as hers . it do not stick at all and I leave it on warm for many hour and it still taste great . you can not go wrong with this ! +426 RiceCooker NEG 2 I buy this to replace a large rice cooker that be far too large for just I . the portion size be perfect , unfortunately the quality of the cook rice leave much to be desire . Rice come out starchy and mushy . it be also very messy when it cook , as starchy water spurt out the small vent in the lid . if you be not too particular about you rice and just want a quick and simple rice cooker , this will be fine . just make sure you have a easily cleanable surface to cook on . +304 RiceCooker POS 4 for a inexpensive rice cooker , this appliance work very well . Rice come out just right . we have not try the steamer though . +791 RiceCooker POS 5 we do not realize how bad we previous aroma rice cooker have get after 10 yr of use until it stop work and we buy the arc-150sb as a replacement . the first batch make with this new rice cooker come out perfect : fluffy and moist . it be well design , too . the lid lock down , so we get none of the splatter that occur out of the loose lid on the previous cooker . it even have a small water catch tray that trap the water that run off when the lid be open . this be a very good rice cooker for the price . recommend . +410 RiceCooker POS 5 ok , I can not stand it any longer ! why be so many people freak out about the little cup ? it be 200 ml , or in between 3\/4 and 1 cup dry measure . most people eat more than they need to , it do not hurt to have a little smaller portion . and here be a secret that any of we from traditional japanese family know : put the rice in the cooker . put in enough water so that the water come up to the 2nd knuckle of you index finger -lrb- with the tip of you finger touch the top of the rice -rrb- . it always work , we use to do this in we old rice cooker that have japanese write only , it do not matter what the amount of rice be ; I do not know how\/why this work but it do , and when I meet someone that grow up eat rice everyday like I do , they all seem to know this trick . in regard to the timing-who care if the rice be do before the rest of the meal ? since there be that handy keep warm feature , just make the rice way ahead !! the reason it take longer in the rice cooker be the traditional soak time , help make softer fluffy rice . if you get stick-um on the bottom of you rice , it be prob . not a good quality , or you do not rinse it , or you need to fluff it when the timer say it be do with the cute song . they say max 4 hour for keep warm , but for about 30 year I have keep the rice warm for longer than that and have no problem with food poisoning or bacterium . if you can keep stuff warm in a crock pot all day , why not rice ? my mom be japanese and highly recommend this cooker . for those interested in ayurvedic food , it make great kitcharee -lrb- although not the soupy kind , put you spice and veggy and dahl right in with the rice , if you add too much water it cook until the water be steam out , take about 45 min . -rrb- I love my big Zojirushi cooker so much I be buy this smaller one for at work so I can have my hot soup or rice cooking and ready by mealtime ! +425 RiceCooker POS 5 Ilove my new rice cooker . cook up to 3 cup of raw rice and come out perfect everytime . in south Louisiana we eat a lot of rice so I know what good rice taste like . I do wash the rice Oster 4722 3-Cup Rice Cooker and Steamer - red use this for about one month so far ... it clean in warm sudsy water with no problem . just remember to NOT use metal spoon . +564 RiceCooker NEU 3 nice SMALL cooker , only hold about a cup and a half of rice , enough two to three people . cook it great , only problem I notice be try to get it out . it be hotter than the dickens and the small bowl be not attach to the cooker and you can not just pick it up and scrape it into another serve bowl . the plastic spatula it come with be very stiff and will eventually scratch the teflon . I would recommend this to a friend but only if they understand the problem it have . fast shipping and great packing . +130 RiceCooker POS 5 this be the first time I have have arice ciiker and it be awesome . sometimes the warm light do not go on when it be do but I have no problem with that I take care of it a soon as it id do +28 RiceCooker NEG 2 it be only be two week since I buy it but it be already not work ! the life span be so short ! +379 RiceCooker POS 5 this be my first rice cooker , and I love it ! very easy to use , and I recently find out that it be pretty dummy-proof . I be plan on do rice and steamed asparagus together and , not think , push the wrong setting on the cooker . while it take I 5-10 minute to realize this , once I push the correct button the cooker adjust for the mistake and the rice come out very well . that be my first time steam vegetable as well , and they come through really great too . the take-out tray in the inside also make it pretty easy to clean . I typically make smaller batch of rice for 1-2 people , and they come out great every time . it be a little bigger than I be anticipate ; I be hope to get a smaller machine but overall be very happy with my purchase . +306 RiceCooker POS 5 purchase this item almost a year ago . use it probably once a week and have never have a bad batch of rice . the key be to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking . brown rice take longer so plan ahead . I have purchase a second cooker for my son and he love it also . +987 RiceCooker POS 5 its fantastic ! I be debate on whether to buy a rice cooker or continue buy rice from the chinese takeout shop downstairs . after read multiple review I finally decide on this one . although I be pre-warned by the review that it be go to be a small cooker , I be really surprise when it arrive . I do not expect it to be quite this small . its great for one or two people . I have make rice like 4 time and even cook porridge in this cooker . its great ! just follow the water direction indicate and you will get rice well do ! +166 RiceCooker POS 4 this be my first rice cooker and I love it ! it be so simple and make the best rice ever . mostly this device have make my life much simpler and I look forward to play with it and try new recipe very soon . +527 RiceCooker POS 5 the Aroma Rice Cooker arc-998 be the only rice cooker I will ever need . my boyfriend and I have be research rice cooker for a while now , and end up purchase this one since it be on sale at target for $ 25.00 . we be rice lover but have never use a rice cooker or cook rice on we own before . we use short grain white Hitomebore rice -lrb- extra sticky japanese rice commonly use in sushi and rice ball -rrb- and the rice come out absolutely perfect the first time we use it ! it be the best rice we have ever have , and that be quite a accomplishment since we often go to japanese and chinese restaurant . it do not stick or scorch at all , which be a surprise consider all the previous user review for this product . my point be , if we can cook rice for we first time use EXTRA STICKY rice and have it come out perfect , than there be absolutelly nothing wrong with this cooker . I believe that those who have have the rice burn be not properly wash it before cook it . Rice be naturally starchy , and if the excess starch be not properly wash off before cooking , then it can result in burning and scorching . my only advice to those people be to properly wash you rice until the water run almost clear and not milky anymore . +406 RiceCooker POS 4 I guess there be not a lot of variety in how the rice end up ... although , I suppose I could try add less water ... but anyway , it be a lot easier than cooking rice from scratch . this machine work perfectly . +359 RiceCooker NEG 2 we never even plug it in . it dose not have a timmer wich really make it useless for start in the be and havee rice for dinner . +38 RiceCooker POS 5 excellent quality . ample size . great rice cooker ! no bell & whistle , just the basics in a excellent quality machine . +492 RiceCooker POS 5 order to replace a older , mechanical timer cooker . what a difference , especially for brown and sweet rice that seem to benefit from the computerized timer . also do a great job with egg -lrb- hard boil in the steamer tray , complete with little egg ` notch ' -rrb- and for steam vegetable . +799 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker be great ! it cook all different type of rice perfectly and triple as a steamer and slow cooker . I have not make anything to date that have not be good . if you be look for a product that cook rice but also do a few other thing better I would definitely recommend it . +765 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker make steel-cut oats perfectly on the porridge setting . the measure mark for porridge be gear to rice , which be unfortunate , but 1 cup oats to 2.5 cup of water be just right . make 3 serving , which can be reheat in the microwave . Easy to use , easy to clean , and seem to be well make . much better than stir for a 1\/2 hour when you be groggy . +297 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker cook brown rice so well ! I do not need to pre soak they at all . I just put they in and they become so soft and sticky . I love this rice cooker ! +238 RiceCooker POS 5 we have buy this rice cooker last week . since then we be cooking rice almost every day . try to use basmatus rice ... +215 RiceCooker POS 5 Perfect for a small apartment . have a 5 1\/2 cup model that I never use because it be too much of a hassle to store . this little beauty fit on the counter or in a small kitchen cabinet ... and the black and stainless model look terrific in a granite and stainless kitchen . have use it daily since it arrive . make morning oatmeal , brown rice , mixed red and wild rice , and white rice with lentil -lrb- just toss half cup of lentil and some cumin in with white rice and up the water by half -rrb- . do need to experiment a bit with proportion for non-rice grain -lrb- i.e. full amount of water for one cup of oatmeal boil over ... cut amount next time -rrb- .

I do not know if I be the only one who be have this problem . +680 RiceCooker NEG 1 always under cook the rice , and with no control of when its on or off , you cant control the steam , unusable for vegetable , unusable for rice , very unhappy with this product +256 RiceCooker POS 5 my first batch of brown rice from this unit be a revelation . I have use other rice cooker and I simply do not know what I be miss . even my parrot love the stuff , they scarf down every grain I put in they foodbowl . I have try other type of rice with result I consider superior to restaurant rice , at least for the restaurant I have eat in . if you want to change you life through superior nutrition this be a big help . fit just about anywhere and be very easy to use . no con so far . -lrb- about a month . -rrb- +124 RiceCooker POS 4 this be a great little rice cooker .

I , for one , do not experience a odor problem . my model be tout as have a anti-microbial footbed that apparently prevent odor . whatever it be , the product be remarkably effective in my case . my great disappointment , and the reason that I can not award 5-star here and why I do not buy another pair at the beginning of this season , be the surprisingly short life of my shoe . on both shoe -lrb- left and right -rrb- , the footbed be parting at the mold seam and the webbing be pull away from the shoe at these same point . this , just after one season of wear -lrb- frequent wear , include a few camping trip and creek wade , I should point out -rrb- .

I do not live in Florida . the retail store Amazon grant the privilege of internet retail to , be located in Florida .

I wear they all day from 6 AM till I go to bed . if I get sand or dirt in they , I rinse they out with the garden hose and keep on truckin ' . very comfortable , however , if you foot sweat a lot , I would be cautious as to order the right color , as I do receive a bit of a tint on the top of my foot from the strapping . all in all 4.75 out of 5 star , simply due to the fact I can not wear they in the winter because it be too cold outside , and they 's just something wrong about wear sandal with sock ! +958 Sandal POS 4 love the sandal except for one thing : I find the toe strap -lrb- make of leather -rrb- to be relatively wide and stiff , therefore somewhat uncomfortable . it be possible the strap will soften and\/or my toe will toughen up as they break in . -lrb- my foot be pretty sensitive . -rrb- they be quite comfortable otherwise though , and very well make . +458 Sandal POS 5 2nd pair , wear out the first one . very comfortable sandal and great look too .

I be usually more than satisfy with the product . unfortunately I be can not say the same for this one . it be size WAY too wide and the material tend to make my foot feel overly warm - despite be sandal . I have have similar sandal make with the same material - these be just not of the same . since the company split I have notice a decline in quality . +847 Sandal POS 4 good flop . my bf wear a 12 and this be a little snug . probably should have go a size up , but rainbow also stretch and form to the foot . i love my woman 's rainbow . +57 Sandal POS 5 this be my first birky and I love they . highly recommend they for we sandalfoot . well craft and comfortable as all hell . would definitely puchase again . +403 Sandal POS 5 always a great experience order my birkenstock from Amazon . this be the second pair of this particular shoe I have order . love , love , love the convenience of order this product on-line . the quality be excellent and the delivery be timely especially if you be a prime member . fast service . +782 Sandal POS 4 Got these for my son as a gift , he love they . they do tend to run a little small but look and quality be great . +298 Sandal POS 5 I finally buy some Birkenstocks . I wish I have year ago . I be not sure about it because I have wide foot and be in between a size 9 1\/2 and a 10 . so I order size 40 -lrb- 9-91\/2 -rrb- and regular width and they be perfect !!!

I order they for a trip to the Carribean . ca not wait until the warm weather come back ! +687 Sandal POS 5 I look fly , I feel fly , and the lady love I down by the pool . +103 Sandal NEU 3 I have very flat foot and these give I pretty decent arch support . I have not wear they in the water yet , which be what I originally buy they for . they rub between my toe rather uncomfortably so I do not wear they very often . they fit true to size , not a size larger as most of these sandal do . +737 Sandal POS 5 the sandal come in a timely manner . they be exactly what I order and the person that I order they for say they fit and feel great ! +501 Sandal POS 5 great shoe . very comfy and versatile . ship quickly as well . after wear my old pair for a few year , I be surprise by how these feel in comparison . have not realize the change in support over the year . +188 Sandal NEG 1 great concept , but poor quality . tear apart at the seem after one use ; a moderate 8 mile hike in the wood . these would be such a better product have they have better craftsmanship . definitely not worth $ 100 if you plan on do any actual hike with they . +261 Sandal POS 5 I have be use this product for 25 + year . with a good brush , this soap keep the beard softer that any other I have try . truly the most comfortable shave available . +611 Sandal POS 5 great product . just as state in the description . comfortable and affordable . Know they will last a long time ! buy these as a gift , but be tell how much they love they ! +82 Sandal NEG 1 keen Newport Sandal I actually wear the heel out of the sole through many year of wear . my newest keen , buy in march 2011 , suffer stitch failure on both side of the ankle , both sandal , where the back ankle strap attach underneath the logo flap on the side of the ankle . sadly , as both sandal fail in the same area , this be a quality issue . these sandal have prove to be not worth the cost . I will ask keen to replace they and if they do , I will be satisfy . if they do not , I will not shell out this amount of money for a sandal that do not last five month . +184 Sandal POS 5 best shave soap on the market ... ` nuff say . buy it . use it . you 'll agree . +48 Sandal POS 5 these sandal like other rainbow sandal be amazing . I have have my original pair for several year . it take a little bit of time but after a little bit of time they conform to you foot . +583 Sandal POS 5 these be a great product . they wear well and be make from quality material .

I wish that I have know they be produce in China . these be fine for hit the beach and pool but not too comfortable for long walk . +824 Sandal POS 5 so far I have own two pair of these sandal and they be the most comfortable thing ever . each pair I have wear for two year , almost year round . here I be again to retire my current air , after not be able to find they in store this year . I be stoke to see multiple color choice so I can retire some of my other inferior sandal . +809 Sandal POS 5 I be on my second pair of these shoe which I wear daily . they be light and comfortable yet have a decent pad in the sole . +133 Sandal NEG 2 sorry , everyone think the " lifetime " warranty be worth the money . I didnt have any luck with that . and maby luck be the key ? +618 Sandal POS 4 sandal seem very tight at first but I wear they for progressively longer period each day until they loosen up and conform to my foot . now they be extremely comfortable . they seem durable and my son say they be the best sandal out there . the only reason they be not 5 star be the footbed be a little slick but my son say once they wear in a little more that go away . this be easily the best pair of flip flop I have ever own +912 Sandal POS 5 these be officially my favorite flip flop , ever . I have a million pair of flip flop , and none of they get worn anymore . like everyone else have say , the strap be a little snug for a few day , but now that I have be wear they for a while , they fit like a glove . ca not say enough good about they - definitely go to order they in other color . EDIT : I have have these for nearly a year , and aside from Winter , I have wear they almost every day . I live in they . they still look brand new -lrb- no joke -rrb- , my foot have form a light imprint on the insole , so they be kinda custom fit , and I just order a second pair in black to prepare for this summer ! I will also point out that there be absolutely no wear on the bottom . these be some durable shoe . best flip flop , ever . +923 Sandal NEG 2 I like the basic construction of the shoe however the strap rub my ankle and make for terribly uncomfortable wear . +67 Sandal POS 5 this be the first pair of Rainbows that I have own and I like they a lot . I only write a review to note that , unlike some other , I do not have any significant problem with a uncomfortable `` breaking-in '' phase . very comfortable , look good , and a month in , they have conform nicely to my foot . +860 Sandal NEG 2 just get these sandal . and what can I say ? they seem to be wide enough for my wide foot . and I like the look of they -- it be something about the ` retro-ness ' of they that I find so very appealing . the problem though for I be that I have very flat foot . and the contour of the footbed do not seem to respect that . it be like walk over some kind of hill or something . I do not know why Birkenstock can not make a shoe that can do away with the footbed thing . because I be tell you , it only work if you happen to have the ` right ' kind of arch in you foot . otherwise , you 'll be in for a lumpy experience !!! and who need that !!! these shoe will be stay in the closet . or at least there be always the Goodwill !!! +219 Sandal POS 4 great product . love the way it hold the foot -lrb- snug -rrb- . only draw back be that it make my foot sweat on hot day , my foot never sweat in other shoe . better as a fall shoe than summer . +257 Sandal POS 5 as a ex-deadhead who have worn birkenstock for nearly 30 year , I be lucky enough to be in a profession that get to wear the sandal half of the year . -lrb- the warm month in Santa Fe . -rrb- these sandal be the best shoe in the world when you consider all the category bar none . I also purchase they for a excellent price at a Amazon.com supplier . +885 Sandal NEU 3 since I live in flop , I be tell that I can not go wrong with these . they be ok . I have be wear for 3 month and they be not yet as comfy as my Nikes . +87 Sandal POS 5 they be really comfortable . my only disappointment be that the color in the picture do not match the color of the actual flip flop . +916 Sandal POS 5 the shoe have fully meet my expectation . I use they on the weekend to kick around the yard , etc as well as for camping . they be comfortable and besides they weight , you barely know they be on you foot . I be tell they run small , but I buy my exact size and they fit great . +888 Sandal POS 4 I love birkenstock sandal . let 's just say that right off the bat . I love these shoe . they feel so good on my foot . when I can find these shoe on sale , I buy they . if I can not , I buy Betula Sandals ... very similar ... same feel . well , I see these advertise as my favorite shoe with a soft footbed , which I have never have before . so , I buy they . sorry , footbed feel the same to I . that be my only complaint . it be not worth the extra $ 20.00 . other than that ... a great shoe . +622 Sandal NEG 2 I return the pair I buy - size run way smaller than normal - you be best to try they on for size in a regular walk-in store first +944 Sandal POS 5 I be look for a fairly light but sturdy pair of sandal that I could wear around the camp after a long day of hiking , or I could wear when the go be get pretty wet . these shoe be ideal . they be tough , the sole be strong and will take some serious punishment , they be cool and will not get suck off you foot when you be tramp through mud or water . the inner sole be baiscally some sort of rubber , so it will dry quickly and will not absorb odour and sweat . the shoe should be a breeze to keep clean . there be good protection around the toe so you should not have any issue about kick rock and root as you wander around camp in the dark . if you want to , I think these sandal would be tough enough to actually hike in , but they would not give you much protection from leech etc. . I find they really comfortable to weat straight out of the box . if you be in the market for some tough sandal , then I don ; t think you could do much better than these . +956 Sandal POS 5 I have have birkenstock for 20 year and love they , but these soft footbed sandal be the greatest ! my one gripe be that they be still so expensive . +270 Sandal NEG 2 I order the correct size , accord the chart provide . they be waaaay too big . as in unwearable . on the plus side , Birks be great shoe , the product be as describe , except for size , and it arrive on the day promise . I love Amazon , and use it a lot , but this one be a failure . +838 Sandal POS 5 I love Birkis in general -- they be always so comfortable -- but these soft footpad be even more comfortable and have help sore heel and foot -- I strongly recommend try they !!!!!!!! +126 Sandal POS 5 love my berkinstock !!! they last forever and form to fit perfectly for a long time . so happy ! high quality and comfort . +514 Sandal POS 5 keen may seem a bit pricey , but they be well worth every penny . this be my second pair and the first last a good long time . I only buy a second pair because the shoebed have wear down slighly on the original and with some upcoming hike on the horizon , I decide to spring for another pair to ensure full comfort . I be keep the first pair to knock around the yard in . these be one of the only pair of shoe I have ever have that be comfortable from day one . the lace system be easy to adjust and help you get the shoe on and off quickly . I opt for webbing instead of another model that have leather because I like be able to get these shoe wet . also , the webbing seem to stretch a bit when you foot swell , so you never feel like you foot be too confine as the day go on . I have wear these shoe for sightseeing in big city and hike through the wilderness and they have never let I down . +560 Sandal NEU 3 after many year of pass up birkenstock for more feminine sandal , I relent and decide I want a pair of quality shoe for summer . my first thought ? birkenstock . when view a Birkenstock shoe you can easily see the quality and know that they will last for many season to come . that say , quality may not always mean comfortable right out of the box -lrb- lol -rrb- . my foot be flat and birkenstock appear to be make for those with higher arch . I be literally try to wear they as often as I can to `` break they in '' hope that they will get more comfortable as they get worn . they actually hurt my foot so much when I first put they on that I wait a month before try they again . I have have other pretty decent quality shoe throughout my life and very few of they hurt after wear they for a few minute . hopefully in a month or so the foot-bed will mold to the shape of my foot . if not , no more Birkenstocks for I ... sadly . +340 Sandal POS 5 these sandal fit great right from the box day one . have never have a shoe that be as comfortable . actually this be the second pair that I purchase in a week time . the first pair fit so well and be so comfortable that I have a desire to get a backup pair . one that I could use for other than everyday use . +206 Sandal POS 5 very comfortable , as expect . be sad to give up my previous 20 year old pair but fully expect this pair to provide the same great experience . +437 Sandal POS 5 do you know how difficult it be to find man 's 14 shoe ? my son wear size 14 and have since he be 13 . when he enter high school all the other boy be wear flip flop and I could not find any that be size 14 . finally at a local retailer , I find one pair of Rainbows that be size 14 . every year I would look for flip flop that be size 14 . I would bring other brand home and my son would ask `` do not they have Rainbows ? '' . I be so excite when I find they on Amazon this year . I do not know why I do not think to look before now . these be not you ordinary flip flop . +303 Sandal POS 5 I purchase my last pair of rainbow during my first year of college and they last I 8 year as the most comfortable sandal I have ever worn . finally decide it be time to get a new pair and the quality be still just as good . +369 Sandal NEG 1 I try they on for size in the store . when I get home and walk around they really irritated my foot . I return they . my daughter have the calissage so I be get those . +636 Sandal POS 5 the shoe be comfortable and durable . they arrive in record time so I could still wear they before winter arrive ! +651 Sandal POS 5 great shoe , but if you be look at these you already know that . I buy a off color because they be the cheapest here on Amazon , but they be the best color anyway . go figure . so shop around here , amazing the small difference in price . I have a wide foot and they fit I fine , seem to be true in size . +411 Sandal POS 5 I have three pair of this sandal . my first pair -lrb- now my bicycling shoe -rrb- be purchase just prior to a rafting trip in the Grand Canyon . work well for the hiking in the canyon , walk in the river , and rafting in the Colorado . work great for everyday wear in Florida . the only shoe I wear now though my wife make I keep a pair of Allen Edmunds for funerals\/weddings . -lrb- I will be bury in my keen . -rrb- they be comfortable , great look -lrb- only sandal I ever own that people have ask where I get they -rrb- . great arch support . +745 Sandal POS 5 I love this sandal they be everything I expect , they be comfortable and pretty , I trully recomend this product . +966 Sandal POS 5 this be the best pair of sandal I have ever own , period !

I race Flying Scots and Lasers . in the sun , these baby get pretty hot . Whats more , when I do a beach launch of a Laser -lrb- I just get back from Crete - sailing in the Aegean Sea in a Laser -rrb- these shoe fill with sand and I be too busy sailing to stop and empty they over the side . you see , competitive racing in a dinghy do not leave heap of time for such muck about . moreover , in a Laser , a 505 or a similar athletic dinghy , you be likely to end up swim if you leave go of the rudder or main sheet for even a moment in a breeze even if you think you have get the boat in iron . there be not time to dork around with such thing . on the positive side , these stick like glue to a foredeck . I be on foredeck of a Scot the other day fight with a out-of-control spinnaker in a breeze with the lee rail under water and the deck at about 30 degree . my foot be not slip at all ! it be pretty amazing really . +182 Sandal NEG 1 I have be a fan of Clark sandal for year . would not have anything else but they have change . the strap on they top line of sandal be too long for small foot . I have a size 7 and the strap will not pull tight -- velcro pad be too short -- strap too long . I have to take they to the shoemaker to have the top strap cut down and the excess cut off . they one-size-fits-all design do not fit small . when I pay the high price for the best , I expect the best . they be no longer the best when they do not fit . -lrb- note you star rating -rrb- the bottom strap hold but will not pull tight and can not be cut down without a major reworking . I just buy a pair of North Face sandal to replace they . they adjust perfectly and cost less than my bill form the shoemaker to fix the Clarks . they be not quite as comfortable , but they fit . shame on you Clark . if you can not make my size , then do not advertise that you can and take my money .

I love 'em , superkawika +116 Sandal POS 5 I bowfish in the summer , so I be in and out of the water a lot . get a pair of these sandal and could not be happier . you get all the benefit of wear a pair of sandal in the summer , plus the toe protection of regular shoe . they dry quickly and be comfortable to wear all day long . +704 Sandal POS 4 the product be very good , but the shipping process be very poor . the person who do the shipping slip record the item value worth of $ 156.00 . this item be go to Canada , and of course when the item hit custom , I get charge a very large custom duty because of the value this person record on the shipping slip . I have contact the company they do refund for a portion of the duty cost . but I have purchase many item from the States and as long as I keep the item 's value under $ 50.00 -lrb- which be the cost of this product -rrb- there be no duty charge on the item by custom Canada . so the bottom line ... because of they error I still end up pay duty for a item that cost less than $ 50.00 . but on a positive note , they do give a refund a portion back , but not all . overall I will not purchase from they again . +915 Sandal POS 5 this my son 's second pair of rainbow . he say that they be a bit difficult to break-in at first , but when they be break in they be the most comfortable `` flop '' that he have worn . +700 Sandal POS 5 recently purchase these for my boyfriend to replace a pair he have have for 3 year !!

I mostly wear these around the house or when run a quick errand . +625 Sandal POS 5 these slipper be buy for my husband and he be very please with they . it be comfortably and actually look great on !! +851 Sandal POS 5 the first couple of week wear these may feel a bit uncomfortable or even painful , but you really just need sit through it . the special thing that bring I to buy these sandal be that over time they 'll break in and conform to you foot - it be like have memory foam for you foot ! after that you 'll realize why this be one of the most popular brand of sandal out there . they be extremely comfortable - comfortable enough to spend the entire day in . do not let the seemingly high price fool you , these reign over any cheap pair of sandal by a landslide . +20 Sandal POS 4 I be wear one of these for a few year until last summer the sole crack . I could not find a new pair in the store and order one from Amazon . unfortunately they do not have my size , so my order be not fulfil . I love these sandal and wish I could buy a new pair . they be very comfortable and stylish . they be perfect for hot summer day to wear in the office as they keep foot well ventilate , but look like dress shoe . the only downside of these sandal be the sole . it be make of porous material that actually make walk in these sandal so soft and comfortable . unfortunately they wear out quickly when walk on city cement walkway , but for the price you pay they still well worth it . +223 Sandal POS 5 these flip flop be tight at first , then mold to you foot for a custom fit . they be perfectly padded and really comfortable after a day or so just wear they around the house . they look good ; not fancy , but not `` ratty '' at all . they be just cool , casual flip flop that make you feel like you be barefoot . I research stuff for a long time before I ever buy , and I be very happy with these -lrb- I get the dark brown -rrb- I be in my 20 's and a very active person and wear they in all sort of place : beach , climb , tour , I have even bike in they . if you be a dude , look for a pair of flip flop , buy these and stop look . also , you can not beat they warranty -lrb- if anything break before you wear through a layer of the shoe , they replace they -lrb- -- might double check that before you buy , but that be what the tag say on mine -rrb- . +565 Sandal POS 5 my husband say : wear they daily . nice arch support , my heel fall in the center rather than on the left side , all in all the best flip flop I have ever have on my foot and I have try they all , Tevas , Rainbows , you name it . +420 Sandal POS 4 buy this for my dad , he want another shoe from this company but due to miscommunication end up buy this one . either way , this shoe be comfortable and work well he summer outfit . +800 Sandal NEU 3 I be totally satisfy with the purchase of the keen sandale , but unfortunately , I guess my foot have expand since I order a replacement for the 10.5 size sandle I have , but when they arrive they be too tight . I have to pay for return shipment to the company , which amount to $ 13.90 . I try to get the sandale replace with size 11 , but I have be notify that my account have be credit and if I want a new pair of sandal I need to order they again . Paul H. Sammelwitz +523 Sandal POS 5 these be super comfy and look great too . the silver be a nice touch . +832 Sandal POS 4 I love these sandal . - they be very rugged . - the snug , secure fit over the foot and around the ankle pair with the unique toe space -lrb- see caveat below -rrb- match my preferred fit for a shoe . - the foot bed have just that right amount of cushion and comfort while still feel solid and stable . they really hit the `` magic '' mix on this . - the bolster around the heel and arch eliminate side to side movement create a very stable feel about these shoe . - the hybrid nature of these shoe cause I to reach for they far more often than my sandal or hiking\/walking shoe . have you ever try to run in sandal ? how long do it take to dry hike shoe after a wade ? now to my small caveat : 1 . it may be just that I have a abnormally tall big-toe , but I could stand just one more millimeter of space in the toe well over the top . in fact , the first time I buy a pair of these , I have to return they after a couple day because my toenail just-barely touch the top of the toe well and make I nut . eventually I find a pair that have just that tiny bit of extra space and I snatch they up . this bring I to my second caveat . 2 . you would not expect it , but the size variation across style and even within the same style be pretty significant . I be sure I would never be able to own a pair of keen because of the toe fit thing . when I find they on sale recently , I decide to have another try . to my surprise , I find a pair of original Newport in 10.5 -lrb- my size -rrb- that fit awesome with no toe problem ... but they be leather , which I do not want , and they be just the most ridiculous light green color . next I try the h2 with nylon strap . the first 10.5 be way too small , for fun I try two other 10.5 s , all of which feel like they be different size . then I try a 11 . these be too big by a long-shot . I be ready to leave when I try a 11.5 on a whim and they fit perfectly ... I think you need to try these shoe on before you buy . I buy everything I can online , but in the case of keen shoe , I would be really hesitant . +905 Sandal POS 5 I have the hardest time finding shoe that fit , but these be PERFECT . but , in my opinion , you can not go wrong with a Birki !! Wish the black be available in my size . +546 Sandal POS 5 I have live on the `` Big Island '' on the Kona coast in Hawaii for the last 20 year , and all we wear here be `` slipper '' , know as `` thong '' or sandal on the mainland . I usually go through a pair every two or three month . the Rainbow sandal be the best that I have worn . it look like they will last a very long time . +322 Sandal POS 5 I do not love they as much as the previous very similar style I buy back in 2004 that fall apart , but they be just as comfortable . other than the texture change , there seem to have be a slight change to the insole as the rubber suction onto the bottom of my foot when the other one never do that - same size , same comfort , same feel otherwise . minor annoyance & I hope the adhesion stay better on this pair . I wish I have realize sooner that I could have have Birkenstock repair the other one - lesson learn . though I will always buy these again for they comfort , great traction , & wet versatile . +99 Sandal POS 5 I have have other Birkenstock shoe forever and want to try the soft footbed . to be honest , I can not tell much difference . these be totally comfortable , but my old one be too . probably the best thing be that since they adjust in two place -lrb- the strap -rrb- , they can fit even when my foot be swollen . I be fly cross country in a couple day and will be wear these on the plane because they be easy to slip into and will be comfortable even if my foot swell on the long flight . since I be only take a carry-on , I can use these as slipper when in the motel and save space in my carry-on suitcase . with airline price so high for luggage , they be save I money . shoes\/sandles that can be multipurpose be precious . +164 Sandal POS 5 I be impressed . I be a little skeptical about spend close to $ 50.00 on a pair of flip flop -- especially when i can go to other place and get they for $ 1 -lrb- on sale of course -rrb- . after go to a store and purchase a pair of leather flip flop i be disappoint when the flip flop get wet my foot feel like it be slide around -lrb- not good , not to mention it feel weird -rrb- . but these sandal have make I a believer . at the begin they be a tad uncomfortable because it do take a while for they to break in -- because they form to you foot . but after a while they break in and you will have they on you foot all the time . when they get wet they soak some of the water in but they dry in minute . I hope this help -- i would definitely purchase another pair . +483 Sandal POS 5 a little uncomfortable while break in the sandal , but after wear they for a week or so , they be the most comfortable sandal ive ever own . +866 Sandal POS 5 my husband love these shoe . every one tell he how nice they look on he . +208 Sandal POS 5 this be my 4th pair of Birki 's ... they be top in comfort , easy to wear , easy to wash . I wear they instead of house slipper because they give so much support . +837 Sandal POS 5 if you have never try R&G; Sandalwood soap , do so right away ! this be a discontinue fragrance and I be sure there be not that many in stock . why they discontinue Sandalwood , I will never understand . it be my favorite soap ever . +854 Sandal POS 4 they be wonderful - he say it just take a while to break they in to you own specific foot . they hurt the first few day , but love they now . they be a gift to my son . +677 Sandal POS 5 these geta be just what we need for we convention , and they arrive in time too . though from a personal standpoint , I suggest walk around in they first before actually go out for a weekend long event . +806 Sandal POS 4 love they they be so comfortable , they stay be the bed and go on as soon as I come home from work . +993 Sandal POS 5 these be without a doubt the most comfortable flip flop I have ever worn . it take a few day to break they in but be totally worth it . if flip flop be you foot wear of choice in the summer you will find it worth splurge on . the more they get wear the better they look as well . I be a Rainbow customer 4 Life ! +911 Sandal POS 5 pricey ... yes . extremely comfortable , versatile and always convenient ... yes again . I have own a pair of these for about 5 year and use they extensively for everything from hike to yard work to casual footwear . they be extremely durable and protect you foot quite well . highly recommend ! +488 Sandal POS 4 this sandal have the potential to be very comfortable , but there be definitely a not-so-comfortable `` break in '' period to work through at first . now that I be near the end of break it in , it be promise to be a sandal I wear regularly . I originally purchase the exact sandal in a woman 's large -lrb- in accordance with my foot and typical shoe size -rrb- , but opt for the man 's medium because it offer a wider fit that be more agreeable to my foot size . overall , glad I make the purchase . just do not be discourage by the initial discomfort . +386 Sandal POS 4 Time of arrival be great ! condition be good ! CD would not install though , just have file of past work ! luckily , I do not think I 'll need it though . overall , worth it though ! thanks ! +528 Sandal POS 5 so I review comment on several product look for some good look and more importantly - comfortable and durable flip flop . I purchase the Sperry Topsider Santa Cruz , the Teva Katavi , and the Columbia PFG Techsun Flip III Sandal -lrb- base on the review I read - these 3 seem to come up quite often -rrb- . I would rate the Sperry number 1 , Teva number 2 , and Columbia a fairly distant 3rd . comfort and fit go to the Sperry as well as look - a bit more formal for a flip flop with the leather type strap . great traction and fit -lrb- I wear a size 9 but purchase the size 10 because I have a wide foot -rrb- and it look great . good form fit to the foot and excellent cushion . the Katavi be a pretty close second , but not quite as sharp look as the Sperry . I also get a size 10 and the cushion and especially the lining of the strap be good quality and comfortable . the Katavi 's have more aggressive sole as well . the Columbia be not as nice look , have a tapered toe at the top -lrb- which give it a different look -rrb- , and I do not like the Columbia emblem on the strap . also , the top of the flip flop be `` plasticky '' and feel more like a beach type shoe that could get wet and dry off quicker then the other -lrb- as oppose to a day out shoe -rrb- . I also purchase a size 10 , and the size 10 in the Columbia be considerably larger . I 'll come back later as time wear on to see which one break or wear quicker than the other - they be start to get less use as the weather get colder , so it may be awhile before I get to that review . +147 Sandal POS 5 the Smoothy be the only sandal you 'll ever need . they be super comfortable , convenient and go with just about anything you may be wear -lrb- I wear they with a linen suit to a wedding once -rrb- . the strap be tight in the beginning , but they will mold themselves to you exact foot -rrb- reef have a great product here and I be proud to call myself a loyal lifetime reef fan ! +459 Sandal POS 5 after 18 year , my husband finally let go of he Rainbow Flip Flops buy in 1989 . grant the past two summer of wear they have be a act of love on he part but , they be he favorite and though slightly crack from lie in the sun ... he could still wear they . he be like a kid with a toy when he receive he new pair for Christmas ... and though the logo be different , the name be the same and the quality appear to be the same , as well . when he buy he one and only orignal pair in 1989 ... we gasp at the price since it be higher than the drug store brand ... but , they be worth every penny ... no gasp need ... they last almost forever ... make extremely well ... comfortable , handsome leather ... we be fan ! +387 Sandal POS 5 we live on the water , and it seem like every man age 12 and over have a pair of Rainbow flip flop . my husband be never one to show off he toe , but I order these for he , and now they be what he put on the minute he walk in the door from work . they be durable and look good ! +876 Sandal POS 5 I love these flip flop . they take a little while to break in but they be so nice . they have a good amount of arch support which be rare for flip flop , they also be very durable and be mean to last . I believe the company will even replace the top layer if it ever get damage -lrb- the Rainbow company not the store that be sell these flip flop -rrb- , definitely worth the money . +637 Sandal POS 5 very satisfy with purchase . very quick shipping ! hopefully these will hold up just as well as all of my other rainbow sandal ! can not beat a great pair of flip flop ! +332 Sandal POS 5 this lovely , high quality Sandalwood soap by Caswell-Massey be make of natural , vegetable base product . the soap be triple-milled which mean that the soap be very hard and will last a long time . the lather be mild and creamy , leave the skin lightly scented with this special sandalwood blend . this be the larger size which be refer to as the bath soap . it be darker and have a wood grain appearance . the bath bar be larger and weigh 5.8 oz . they also carry a smaller size hand soap . it be light tan and come in the 3.25 oz -lrb- 92 g -rrb- size . I have use the hand soap as bath soap and can not tell the difference -- the scent and soap quality be the same . Caswell-Massey 's line of sandalwood product have be a favorite of mine for many year . the scent be so wonderful I use bar of this soap in my clothing drawer to infuse my clothing . while this blend may use other ingredient to create the blend the primary scent be the characteristic sweet woodsy fragrance of sandalwood . Sandalwood be the name for a variety of tree -lrb- 19 -rrb- in the genus santalum . true sandalwood come from Hawaii , Australia and India . the essential oil be very expensive and the quality vary accord to the age of the tree and the species . it be naturally antibacterial which can assist in keep skin clear of blemish . the sweet woodsy aroma be calming and be use in ayurvedic medicine to treat anxiety . Caswell-Massey be America 's oldest apothecary establish in 1752 . they be well know for provide luxury personal care product . George Washington and John Adams figure among they early clientele . +123 Sandal NEG 1 I be charge money on my credit card and never recieve the flip flop . this transaction really suck . +91 Sandal POS 5 love my keen sandal . the construction , the fit , you can not find a better pair of sandal that have multipurpose , hike biking etc. . +402 Sandal POS 5 I buy these asa gift for my husband who live in Birkenstocks . he love they ! they fit well and be very comfortable . +957 Sandal POS 5 a great pair of sandal . I already own a pair of KEEN Newport H2 Sandals -lrb- different color -rrb- . the new one be very comfortable , a great fit and easy to care for . I feel confident when I be wear they in all terrain . they be excellent for I as I recover from recent spinal surgery . wonderful product . +794 Sandal POS 5 great look and super comfortable - I be on my foot a good part of the day and these be definitely all day sandal . the ridge on the bottom of the sole provide extra cushion and support as you walk . my only regret be that this shoe be not available in other color like black or I would buy another pair in a second . Worth the price . +954 Sandal POS 4 shoe come fast but the be half size too big . shoe be comfortable ! I really like they . the only dilemma be that they do not look as pretty . +572 Sandal POS 5 love the look of the single strap Madrid , a little more femminine than the double strap . right out of the box these be the perfect fit ... be a little concerned about break in period etc. . . but as soon as I put they on they be amazing - wear they around the house in the evening , in the morning put they on after my shower and go for a 2 hour walk absolutely no sore spot at all ; do not want to take they off . would highly recommend Birkenstock sandal to anyone , feel like you be walk barefeet . will definetly invest in a few more pair in different color . size be good , normally wear a 9 - 9 1\/2 end up with the 41n and they be perfect . can definetly notice the difference from the copy cat brand sell in Walmart etc. ... no COMPARISON get the real thing you will not regret it : -rrb- +260 Sandal POS 5 love these sandal . my son be grow up in these , and adore they . so do I ! the medium arch support be perfect . the material do soften with use . +83 Sandal POS 5 Ok , I be not the `` review stuff online '' kind of person ; this be the first time I have do so . but as I put my four year-old pair of Keen Newport h2 sandal on this morning , I be totally appreciate they comfort and longevity ! I can honestly say that when these wear out -lrb- whenever that may be ! -rrb- , I will go out and buy another pair . they be just well-built , comfortable , and attractive as these kind of sandal could be . my foot have be so happy ! +426 Sandal POS 5 my foot love they right out of the box ! you can take off the heel strap and use they for `` slip on '' but for `` off road '' use the heel strap . +304 Sandal POS 5 I order these just before go on vacation , very comfortable out of the box , will get even better overtime . be suppose to be 2 day delivery , get they in 1 . +791 Sandal POS 5 I have several pair of shoe that do not need sock like loafer , croc , etc but all of they give I blister just above my heel . even expensive one like Bally loafer give I blister . this Sanuk however be exceptionally comfortable in every way . I love these shoe ... err I mean `` footwear '' -lrb- these be not shoe , remember ? -rrb- ; p +410 Sandal POS 5 Rainbows flip-flop be the best . they be a little more expensive than other pair , but they be well worth it . +425 Sandal POS 5 the best sandal in the world . take about a week to break in , but once they be break in , they conform to you foot . incredibly comfortable and durable . I have have several pair in the past and I will not buy anything else . they will last you at least a year of daily wear . +564 Sandal NEG 2 I buy these shoe for a 2 week hike vacation in Utah . I only wear these shoe during the trip . I be happy with the comfort of the shoe however the quality be subpar . also at the end of the day my foot really smell bad . I feel that with sandal my foot would get enough air to breath unlike full on hike boot . at the conclusion of the trip the stitch on the back strap of the shoe have come undo and be very loose . not something I would expect for a shoe in this price range . I be pretty happy walk through water in these shoe . they never come off and the grip on the bottom hold up pretty well . +130 Sandal POS 4 they take a bit of time to wear in , which be the only reason I do not give they a 5 . but they be quite comfortable , mold to you foot , and give more support than flip-flop . also , I live in New York City , and my foot get really dirty when I wear flip-flop , but because these come up a bit around you foot , that do not happen . +28 Sandal NEG 1 I be very disappointed with this shoe . the leather be very stiff and thick . I know it would irritate my foot in walk . the size be right -- the fit be wrong . +379 Sandal POS 5 nice sandal . be wear they for for a week or so , up on the blue ridge parkway and such . the plus be that they be very comfortable and no chaffing or rubbing . very good traction . my wife have have a pair for over a month and love they . she be very fussy about shoe , and now want I to buy she 2 more pair in differ color . note : she do not like many shoe either . she have be able to hike in place where she would not have be able to go without they . the minus be that they be a bit pricey . but , what be the price of a good , comfortable shoe that do not blister and chaff you ? you will also read about piece give way and such . but they seem to be hold together rather nicely despite some rather aggressive use and abuse . i like mine and will buy another pair , and 2 for my wife . +306 Sandal POS 5 product be as advertise in every way ! 14-d be what I order and that be what I receive . well construct , very light , fit great . I have receive several very positive comment from friend . I do not usually write review on anything but I have to about these . you can not go wrong . G. S. Grand Rapids , Mi . +987 Sandal POS 5 I have purchase a total of five pair of this sandal over the year , and I have two still new in the box . I live in annual fear that Sperry will discontinue they . the cushy , just-right footb as well as the overall comfort and durability make these sandal a great value . they can be worn every wake minute even while walk great distance in total comfort . I always order my actual shoe size and get a perfect fit . Hooray for Sperry in keep old fashion , make to last value in a product that be a great performer . +166 Sandal POS 5 very comfortable , size perfect . when the time come I will buy another pair . there be nothing at all negative to say ... +527 Sandal POS 5 the BEST sandal that I have ever own . I buy my first pair of keen shoe about 3 year ago . and my first sandal a year ago . I have walk hundred of mile in many different environment . be a world traveler in many ` developing nation ' , I highly recommend a ` closed toe ' shoe . you never know what hazard you might come across . with my Keen 's I always feel safe . and comfort ? they be the best ! I be in my fifty and ` always ' look for shoe that my foot , knee , hip and back be happy at the end of the day . if there be one dislike ... it would be the odor from sweat . a world of difference from my old Teva 's , but still a bit of odor from the h2 . and honestly , my foot do not typically smell . something with the sole of the shoe and sweat . even so ... I will purchase another when the day come to toss my current pair . from the look of it , that be a couple year away . +406 Sandal NEG 1 I buy a pair of these exact same shoe -lrb- size 10 -rrb- 2 year ago . they last two whole year and be still very wearable . I have just wear the tread off . I order a new pair with great confidence , and wait for delivery . that be where the pro end . the pair I receive in the mail be MUCH MUCH smaller , and two different size ! the left one do fit , very tightly , but I figure it be because they be new . the right one do not fit at all . I compare they to each other and the two shoe be different size . they be both marked US size 10 . I then compare they to the old one that be considerably larger and also marked US size 10 . my old one be also mark as make in the U.S.A. and the new one be from china . I call a friend that have also recently buy a pair of keen shoe from REI.com . they be two small for he as well , and he say one be smaller than the other ... keen , what have happen ? you go from AWESOME to lame in two year ? I will not be buy anymore keen product anytime soon . I have return these shoe to amazon , and can not review these as positive in any way . +359 Sandal POS 5 I be a Rainbow lover , so my opinion be bias , but I believe these be great shoe .

I get they to wear after toe surgery and love they . my doctor have recommend they and I really be glad he do . I go to my local store to be sure of the size I need , but order from Amazon because the price be so much better . +215 Sandal POS 5 my second pair !!! my first pair last about 7 year and I wear they a lot . I wear these a lot also and I absolutely love they . hand down the best . advise : when you get they , soak they in warm water and then wear they around until they dry out . do this at least 3-4 time to break they in . if you do this they will be you best friend . I know you be not suppose to use any product on they -lrb- cause they say so -rrb- but I use a quality glycerin leather saddle cleaner\/leather softener . I really spend some time work it into the sandal and then I wear they around until they dry out and do that a couple time . +870 Sandal POS 5 these be the best pair of sandal that I have buy in a long time . they look great and feel great too ! on top of that the price be very nice . so I would tell everybody how good these sandal be . thank you and I 'll be back for the other color later . +342 Sandal NEU 3 I do a fair amount of research before buy these shoe . I even go and try they on at some local store . I like the way they look and feel when I wear they but find they want for use as a boat shoe . more specifically , as a sailing shoe they be very lack in grip on a wet deck . do not buy they for that purpose as the rather hard plastic sole do not offer the secure grip need for that purpose . I would also not trust they on wet , slippery rock for the same reason . so , in the end , they be great for lot of other outdoor activity . beware of use they for water sport where grip be essential to you safe footing . +680 Sandal POS 5 this be my 2nd pair of this particular shoe . I adore they . they be the most comfortable shoe I own . great quality . +256 Sandal POS 5 I buy these because I be have lower back issue and my Dr. advise I to try these out before go to a orthpedaist . roughly one month later and my problem appear to be disappate and these have become my regular summer footwear . it be true these may not be the most visually attractive thing in the world , I find myself increasingly align with the idea of functionality over appearance . +124 Sandal POS 5 I be first introduce to Sanuk through my daughter who surf and if familiar with all of the `` fashion '' . she want a pair of the Donna 's for Christmas and I start try on some of the man 's sidewalk surfer while she be out try on other clothes . I like the suv due to the thicker tread that I think would last I longer , but , after go to all of the surf shop in and around Dana Point , San Clemente , Laguna Beach , I could not find the suv in size 12 . I be a little nervous at first to purchase something online that I have not try on first , but this Amazon company have a good return policy . try on other sidewalk surfer , size 12 seem to fit the best so I purchase they . they come as advertise , NEW and in perfect condition . well package , so I be very pleased with the low price , low shipping cost , return policy and a quick delivery . once I try they on , they fit like a glove . these be the most comfortable `` shoe '' that I now own !!! I wear they everywhere now . I actually do wear they to work so I need to get some thin nylon style black dress sock . the sock be hide under the Levi 's , and I do recommend sock for work . there be no `` break-in '' period as with regular shoe , so they be good-to-go right out of the box . I have a pair of Ocean Minded -lrb- rainbow-type -rrb- sandal that have the same sole material that have last 3 year now and be just now start to wear thru to the foam underneath , so I suspect the Sanuk SUV 's will last double that due to twice the material in the sole . if Sanuk really want I to do a thorough product review , I be more than happy to receive a `` comp ` ed '' pair . : - -rrb- anyway , I be very happy with the purchase of these . they fit great and I be look forward to they last a long time !!! diff --git a/test/Vacuum.txt b/test/Vacuum.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..ecc8148d5b9f8106888d42d161502da131d3f424 --- /dev/null +++ b/test/Vacuum.txt @@ -0,0 +1,200 @@ +316 Vacuum POS 5 I have a Animal Dyson and when I move it be steal !!! I have be look at different vacuum and read review on what be out there . I regard the review on Amazon as invaluable and can sometimes make or break my decision to purchase something . I also subscribe to Consumer Reports and find that the Miele have the highest rating of any vacuum . if you check Miele 's website , it claim they be at the top of good housekeeping 's list also . I be hesitant to spend over $ 400 for something online without the option of testing it . so , I go to the local sew and vac store to test drive it . First of all the twist have great maneuverability when vacuum around corner , under chair , etc. . also , the vacuum motor be separate from the brush motor which not only pick up well , but make the vacuum easier to push . for someone with a disability that can not push a heavy vacuum , this be a great bonus ! the switch to turn the brush off and on be at the top of the handle next to the power button which be excellent for those of we who hate to -lrb- or can not -rrb- bend to the floor to switch from carpet to bare floor . also , just below the handle be setting for deep pile , low pile , smooth and curtain . the curtain setting be awesome ! there be enough suction to clean they without try to suck they into the hose . I have also be able to vacuum chair , couch and pillow with ease . no fight the suction there ! the hose on the Miele be very flexible and allow for easy use of the hose and on board attachment . the hose on the Dyson would have so much suction go through that I could not extend the hose and the Dyson fall on my foot and leg many time while I be fight the suction . the Miele have anti-tip technology which I have put to the test . it actually do tip once , but I have pull the hose it be full length , so it do not surprise I . I be at least 6 foot away , so it do not fall on I . other reviewer indicate the hose pull out of the vacuum . I do not have any trouble with that during the store demonstration or on the Miele twist I buy from the sew and vac store . possibly they get a lemon ? from the Miele website , here be the description for all 4 standard style upright : suction control via rotary dial with 4 variable power setting 1,200-watt , miele-made Vortex Motor 4,800 r.p.m. brush roller motor 2-motor system , with separate control for electrobrush Motor protection indicator Tools\/Accessories include electrobrush with independent motor 4 , versatile accessory low-profile electrobrush pass under low-clearance furnishings cord 39-foot electrical cord additional feature impressive 54-foot cleaning radius patent swivel-neck for maximum maneuverability Automatic carpet height adjustment 360 front castor wheel 12-foot , integrate , flexible hose anti-tipping device for enhance stability when use include accessory reinforce , ergonomic handle for both operation and transport\/carrying 7-Year Motor Warranty & 7-Year Casing Warranty The difference be : twist have air clean filter and no headlight jazz have hepa filter and headlight Salsa have hepa filter and headlight Cat & Dog have air clean filter , headlight and turbobrush attachment -lrb- the salesperson demonstrate that a replacement hepa filter can be put into the twist or cat & dog -rrb- I hate to call the twist the basic model , but it be the least expensive of the four . I feel like I get a good deal and excellent vacuum for the price and see no need to pay a extra $ 150 or more just for headlight . I do not test any of the Miele canister vacuum , but the salesperson say canister vac be better for home that be mostly hardwood floor . I could go on and on about how wonderful I think the twist be ! I be not aware , but another reviewer say you could lose you warranty if purchase online . I would say that if you do not have a dealer nearby and must buy online , get it from Miele directly , that way you warranty will not be void . sorry Amazon . +220 Vacuum POS 5 this be such a easy transaction from selection to comparison to checkout . I love Christmas shopping at home in my sweat . piece of cake and super quick shipping . thank you ! +848 Vacuum POS 4 I buy this item after read all the review , so here be mine ... you will be underwhelm , but no more so than any other 12v plug-in . the amount of suck be proportional to the amp draw from you battery , and I be guess that the manuf have agree how many amp it be ok to draw - wire thickness , etc. . but I do like the thoughtful design of the pull-out end on the suction wand , the compact fold-up and the nylon case . and despite as have be point out , this be not a truly centrifical vac , the filter clean out easily . I use it on my pontoon and it can suck up sand , etc , but I be on my hand and knee cover pretty tight back and forth to get everything . I wish I have 110v and esp 13a @ 110v but I do not , so I have to make do with a 12v plug-in . if I do have 110v I would say that all 12v hand-held be light-weight . but for I and my pontoon down by the lake it be probably as good as it get , so this vac have my vote give the limitation . PS - you can make it run a little faster by run you engine to boost batter voltage . +276 Vacuum NEG 2 it be not a awful vac but I expect a little more suction power out of it and and it do not quite get into all the nook and cranny . I will probably go back to use the vacuum at gas station . +776 Vacuum NEG 1 I have have this vacuum for about 1 year . I be look for a new one currently . I have have to purchase a new belt every month . I just eat they up . it wasnt bad at first but over time it have get progressively worse . this month alone I have go through 4 belt . I get so frustrated yesterday I just throw it in the trash . +202 Vacuum POS 5 I get mine at Big Lots Dept Store . I pay $ 99.00 , and it be refurbish . this come with a full warranty . I have have it now for about 2 month . its a very basic no frill add vac . do a great job . now if I could just teach my cat to run it , I would have it make in the shade . +555 Vacuum POS 5 we use this 12 vdc vacuum mostly in a travel trailer & sometimes in a truck . it work faithfully , really great for compulsive cleaning of outdoor debris . the extensible nose-piece be handy . the filter be easily clean , washable and dry well . the cord have be of sufficient length ; it store well . +787 Vacuum NEG 2 I be so po would I waste $ 57 on this . I buy this to dust around the comp. , phone , printer , etc. on the desk and because it get a 4 star rating on 85 hit . let that be a lesson . I agree with the bad review . short run time , long charge time , plus ergonomically awkward to use . I put a shoulder strap on it -lrb- need a hand free to move stuff -rrb- and a better brush head but the short run time -lrb- 5 min ? -rrb- and long charge time -lrb- every time , not just the first time -rrb- still make it a bust . build quality seem good so maybe it 'll work for someone with different need than I . in they defense , I have a B&D; Dustbuster floor vac that I love and run 4 time longer even with the powerhead go . +882 Vacuum POS 5 I adore the Eureka Boss ! it work like no vacuum I have ever use . the power of the brush make it move practically on its own and it pick up dirt , pet hair and all manner of debris with no problem . we have 2 cat , a dog and a 6 year old boy so I have get to test its ability with sand , small rock , small stick - you name it . there be several thing to remember when use the vacuum - like remember to switch from the hose set to the floor setting , and remember to lock the brush in the ` on ' position - but once you get use to it there be no problem . I think the switch to turn on the brush be really difficult until I realize that it slide right into place when you have tilted the handle back . and when you put the handle back upright , it disengage the brush so you have to remember to turn it back on again . I also read a review that say this vacuum be loud and heavy but I disagree . it be about the same weight as my old Dirt Devil and not nearly as loud . I also read that people have trouble tilt the handle back . I do , too , until I realize that the foot button go to the side , not to the back like other vacuum . I love that all the attachment be secure on the body of the vacuum . I do not have to worry about knock they off . on my old machine I eventually just take the attachent off entirely because I get tire of pick they up . my favorite thing about this vacuum be the Pet Paw . those 2 cat and dog that I mention love to sleep on the funiture . it use to take I a lot of time with a lint brush and towel to just get the hair off . but with the Pet Paw the hair be go in minute and so be the dust from the furniture . +418 Vacuum NEG 2 the `` Cyclonic-Action '' in the product description be mislead . it make you think this be similar to a Dyson which have Cyclonic-Action and not lose suction . this vacuum have a old-style filter which obstruct the airway and lose suction when the filter get clog . the filter be also not very fine . small dust particle get suck in and then blow out the other end . and the suction be not strong enough to pick up large particle unless you hand feed they directly into the tip of the nozzle . the long pivoting nose have no benefit in cleaning inside a car . the hose\/brush attachement work better , but then you get less suction . +830 Vacuum POS 5 this vacuum cleaner perform exactly as I expect . I set the Roomba to run every day while I be at work and it sweep up everything and then return to it be charge base . the Roomba will never take the place of a standard vacuum cleaner that do a much deeper cleaning but now I only need to clean once a week . if you have pet like I do , you will need to empty the collection bin every day . but this be still faster than a regular vacuum cleaning every day . +204 Vacuum POS 5 this product be the best we have find for what its make for . we live in a Motor home and its the best for a quick clean and it clean very well . BUT , you have to follow the direction . to clean sweeper after each use , dump cup , and keep the filter clean ! if you let it charge for 18 hour before use , we vacuum we whole 40 foot motor home on one charge . +558 Vacuum POS 5 I be afraid that this vacuum would not have enough power to pick up the dirt in my car because of some of the review . I find that it work fine ! it be not a high power vacuum , but it pick up very well in between . the adjustable nozzle be a plus . it have be able to get to most -lrb- if not all -rrb- area of my car . it be very convenient . +69 Vacuum NEG 2 I have have a Eureka the Boss Smart Vac for a few year now and I absolutely hate use it . yes , it have good suction , but what good be suction if you do not use the machine because you hate it so much . first , it be way too heavy and hard to maneuver . the hose constantly flop all over and never stay on the track where it be suppose to be store . . bad design there . then , it do not lay flat to vacuum under furniture . if you try to put the handle near the floor to go under furniture , the beater be lift off the floor . oh yes , also , the attachment do not stay attach to the unit when not in use . I have use this vacuum for the last time . I plan to get a lightweight Dyson and let my husband use this pain in the hand , arm and back downstari in he workshop . +722 Vacuum POS 4 when you get down to it , despite all of the marketing hype a vacuum need to do two thing well . it need to have great suction to pull up dirt and , depend upon you need , must have the flexibility to deliver that suction conveniently and consistently . this Hoover , if the form and function fit you need , deliver on both count ! we own a Dyson upright for most thing and love it . but as easy as the Dyson be to get around , it , like all upright , be not the thing to reach under bed or low furniture . the Dyson have the flexibility to pull out its handle and configure it to do some of this with a bit of work , but for some thing it be inconvenient , at best . -lrb- again , this be not a knock on the Dyson , but a reality of upright . -rrb- we really do not want another ` regular ' vacuum like a canister , so after research thing we settle on the Hoover Portapower unit to give it a try . what be the verdict ? highly recommend , as long as you understand that it be not a canister on wheel or a upright ! if what you need be something that be relatively lightweight and very easy to move where it be need , can reach under the furthest reach of you furniture , include bed or cabinet , and can suck with the best of they , this unit deliver . also , the build quality be far above most product that it might compete with . it really feel solidly build , all the way down to the heavy duty and long power cord . some have comment on the hose , but we have have no issue with any attachment or with the quality of the overall unit . the only reason that I give it 4 star instead of 5 be that the cord be not retractable , which would be nice . but have live with this for more than a year now , that be a easy trade-off to make for this level of product quality ! +593 Vacuum POS 4 I debate buy this base on the review despite own the handheld version and be extremely happy with it . we recently remove carpet and add wood flooring . we have 2 long-haired dog that shed year round . you know those lovely collection of fur bunny that form in the corner , under the chair and against the wall and cabinet ? they have multiply like rabbit and be extremely visible on the new floor . I need a fast way to get rid of they without drag out the cord vacuum twice a day . I find this unit to be all at once good , great and poor . it have a good battery life for what I use it for . I use it for 10 minute every day . I experience no loss of power or suction . I do drain the battery to see how long it work and 12-15 minute be about it . that do not sound like much but it be exactly what I need . it be great at pick up pet hair bunny and dust\/lint on my wood floor . in less than 10 minute I eliminate all the hair clutter on the wood floor around and under furniture and any misc . shed on my berber carpet traffic area . be able to go cordless from floor to carpet touchup be great ! I will say that I do not appreciate that my dog ' long fur wrap around the narrow brush as it clean . I decide that simply cut the fir off the brush after every few use work well . it sound silly but since all the fur bunny be either in the filter or wrap around the brush the job I get it for be get do ! I do need to clean the filter after every use . it be surprisingly full in only 10 minute of use . it be poor , however , at pick up debris that I would normally sweep up and get with a dustpan . if I sweep the floor first , if I have all the food crumb , etc. in one spot and if I start vacuum there , the debris be suck up just fine . if I be vacuum up fur bunny first or along with debris this unit have just enough suction to get about 50 % of the accompany debris all the way to the filter half way up the handle . it probably have to do with the hair wrap around the brush . the bottom line for we ? we actually really like it and be glad we make the purchase . my need be to battle the fur bunny daily and it do that extremely well . get fur off the top of the carpet in a snap be a bonus I do not expect . however , if I be clean up under a toddler 's high chair it probably would be send back . maybe they should put pet hair pickup in the name somewhere . it excel at that ! +813 Vacuum POS 4 I buy this vacuum for my wife because she want something that go `` everywhere '' . we have carpet and hardwood but the push vac tend to scratch the wood finish , and forget about corner and tight space . this new Hoover Portapower have solve that problem because the attachment allow we to get to all the hard to reach spot . no more broom ! it have enough power to do the job , easy to empty , and do excellent work on tile , hardwood , blind , ledge , etc. . it have all the gadget for specific need . I be pretty picky about carpeting so I would have to say it do a `` ok '' job on bedroom carpet , not perfect but good . the cord be long enough to do several room without look for a closer outlet . the unit be small enough to carry by the handle or shoulder strap so get around be a breeze . it be powerful , small , and easy to use . get a good deal at Christmas and it be well worth it ! +325 Vacuum POS 5 overall it be a excellent machine . very powerful and very convenient to use . it be difficult to clean though . Filter empty and clean may become messy . +984 Vacuum POS 4 we have two of these for clean chalk dust from classroom av equipment . they have a lot of suction and do the job well . at eight pound they be a bit of a load to carry but we need the power to get chalk out of monitor and computer . we try the adapter and paper bag think the chalk dust would go right through the cloth bag . still do not know if it be worth the trouble , the paper bag adapter be hard to find and the paper bag come off inside the vacuum once . we may go back to the cloth bag . all in all we think it clean well and seem solidly make , like it will last . +109 Vacuum POS 5 I have try many different vacuum . this be the only one that really get my house CLEAN , which my allergy certainly appreciate . 1 -rrb- it pull the fine dust out of the base of my carpet -- now it `` squeek '' lightly when I walk on it -lrb- previously , the dust lubricate its motion against the pad -rrb- . 2 -rrb- because it be bagless , I can empty it right away and the nasty stuff do not get a chance to fester and smell bad the next time I use the vacuum . I really love use a vacuum that do not make the air dusty or smelly ! I do make a point of clean it out thoroughly -lrb- knock off the dust outside the house -- I only wash filter occasionally . -rrb- and I wipe off exterior dust with a microfiber `` miracle '' dust cloth . I do this cleaning after every use so it be nice , clean , and ready to go for next time . the first time I use it , there be so much dirt in my carpet I need to empty it after each room ! usually , though , it 'll do a big chunk of the house before the dust bin be full . I do not let the dustbin overfill , because then the dust get pull deeper into the machine . this be the second Bissell I have own . the first one 's rotate brush burn up after two year , which disappoint I . but it be still worth it for the price ! +634 Vacuum POS 5 buy it ! it be fantastic ! I use this vacuum everyday and love it . it seem like it may be a little bulky when I first pull it out of the box but it do not take up too much space next to the wall where I keep it charge and it be easy to use on all surface . +573 Vacuum NEG 1 I be disappointed that Amazon.com do business with this company who do not notify I until 2 day before Christmas that this item be out stock . when I order it 2 week ago it be supposedly in stock and would be deliver in time for Christmas . I will not do business with this retailer again ! +183 Vacuum POS 4 I buy this for my husband after watch he lug the big vacuum cleaner out every time he clean the inside of he car . this vacuum be great . he keep it in the trunk of he car and plug it into the outlet in the car , it clean well and the way the product be design , along with the attachment make it easy to clean every nook and cranny in the car . +552 Vacuum NEU 3 my house have laminate and vinyl , two oriental rug and then berber carpet in the bedroom . I have one dog - a labrador mix . the roomba pet series work great on the hard floor , but then deposit what it pick up along the edge of the rug - this be start with a empty bin . I like that I can send it under the couch and behind the tv to pick up the `` dust bunny '' , but I end up clean up after roomba come out and climb up on anything like carpet . perhaps it should be confine to kitchen and bathroom duty . +716 Vacuum POS 5 I be pleased with the Portapower Vacuum . it be so much easier than push a upright or pull a canister vacuum . much easier to do stair also . Works fine on my low pile carpet . not too heavy for over my head\/shoulder . nice selection of attachment . Easy to attach\/detach . the bag be easy to clean and so there be no need for buying and replace disposable bag . it be perfect for what I want . the only thing that in my opinion could be better be the cord . it be nice and long so I can clean everywhere in my townhouse without have to replug , but it be very stiff and hard to roll up for storage . perhaps it will soften with use . +557 Vacuum POS 5 I recently purchase the Miele twist from GoVacuums and receive it with overnight shipping via Amazon Prime . my old vacuum , a Sears Direct Drive , be about 9 year old and have stop work . the motor still run but it have no suction . upon open the unit I see that the motor be throw spark and emit a electrical smell . I also notice how basic the unit be inside ; a motor , a circuit board and really no filtration to speak of . so I have a decision to make ; either get this one repair or purchase a new vacuum . the thing be there be issue with the Sears vacuum in its design . it be heavy , difficult to maneuver and the major flaw be that to use the attachment it require you to stoop down to the floor to disconnect the hose from the vacuum head . needless to say a lot of high up item in my home only get vacuum sporadically . so on to Amazon to read all the vacuum review and that be when I find the twist . the price be a little more than I have originally plan to spend but compare to what a new vacuum would have cost -lrb- $ 300 + tax -rrb- the price be not that much more . I really do believe you get what you pay for so I take the plunge and buy the twist . I be somewhat worry when the box arrive ; quite a few dent and ding on the box and even some of the Styrofoam packing inside be break too . but a close look at the vacuum itself show no issue whatsoever . I plug in the handle and turn the unit on and away I go . a nice touch be that the bag be already install and they provide a extra one too . a couple of key highlight about this vacuum : to all those reviewer who claim that this vacuum be heavy you be somewhat right . come from the Sears unit I be use to heavy , bulky and hard to maneuver . but this vacuum be a dream to use because of its design . you see the weight be distribute in a much better way . more of the weight be engineer down towards the floor . combine that with the pivot action of the unit and you get a vacuum with a solid feel yet it be very maneuverable . another plus be that the short nose and the ability to lay flat allow you to vacuum in tight space . secondly the telescopic wand be very well think out . you can stop mid-vacuum and quickly get to those high up item you need to while stand the whole time ; then get right back to vacuum the floor after reinsert the wand . I live in a single story house with all hardwood floor except for tile in the kitchen area ; after use the twist the floor just look a lot cleaner then with my old vacuum . I think that the design and engineering of vacuum have improve a lot in the last few year and I be sure the maker of my old vacuum have improve theirs too . I just want to take a step up and see how well a better design vacuum would work and I be glad I do . +385 Vacuum POS 5 do not give it a second thought -- if you want a fabulous hand hold vacuum !!!!! this be the ticket-it 's great-my kid want to take it from I , so I 'll have to order two more - it be so strong , and if you watch the video - you 'll see for yourself . it be light and work really great ------ Amazon.com obviously do alot of research on the item they sell . +19 Vacuum POS 5 it be a bit heavy and you can bump into thing forget its mass . but after a short learning period it really do the job and worth the price +887 Vacuum POS 4 I would love to give this vacuum 5 star because I use it every day and I love the way it pick up , but I have to take off a star because it be very difficult to empty the canister . I still highly recommend this vacuum , though . it be great at pick up crumb , dirt , grass , etc. on both hard surface and carpet . I have a baby that drop more cheerio than he eat , and I follow up he snack time with this vacuum . so fast and easy ! I leave it charge in the kitchen and I use it all the time . I like the fact that it can fold to go under chair , bed , etc. . this be a great little vacuum . they need to improve the empty process , and it would be perfect . +694 Vacuum NEG 2 this vacuum be very powerful and would probably be fine if you do not have pet . but if you 'll be vacuum up a lot of pet hair , look for something different . the problem with this vacuum be the pet hair be not vortex-ed into a nice tight ball in the bottom tank . instead , it stay very loosely packed and get hang up on the top green part so when you open the tank to dump it , most of the hair inevitably fall out all over the place make a new mess where you just clean up . this happen regardless of if the tank be too full or not , even a half-full tank will have the hair loosely distribute all along the upper and lower tank . also , when you dump the loose hair ball into the trash it be so loosely packed bit and piece will easily get blow away or stick to thing due to static charge . I feel this be a very poor design . previous bagless vacuum I have use swirl the hair and debris in the tank so it form a tight ball that dump out cleanly , but not this one . if you have pet and use this , you be in for a very annoying experience every time you vacuum . it really do clean well otherwise , one pass over a dirty rug will get up almost all the hair\/dirt that be visible . +958 Vacuum NEU 3 the vacuum cleaner break within the first 5 minute of cleaning . it start to smoke and smell like burn rubber . turn out it break the belt . I call bissell right away and they be very nice and send I 2 replacement belt free of charge overnight . the other issue be that once I vacuum the machine get extremely dusty and dirty on the outside . perhaps because the connection do not fit too well . the hose be very short and once I start use it it pop out and throw dust all over the vacuum . up to now it have be use twice but look like 10 year old vacuum . it be very noisy too . despite all this say I be keep it , because it show that it pick up the dirt of the carpet . perhaps a lot of these issue be due to the fact that I vacuum a brand new carpet and something like a white dust be come out of it . I have to stop the vacuum and throw away the dust every few minute . it be amazing how much it pick up . we will see how it handle in the future but as I mention above Bissell customer service be great and the vacuum have a warranty so I be not worry . +458 Vacuum POS 4 i start off bad with this thing since it lose suction and be very frustrating after i have my husband take it apart it have some trah stick . . now work great but yea make sure ur always clean anything that get stuck cuz it happen alot . . but it do the job when its clean +698 Vacuum POS 5 i have be search for a great vacuum cleaner with a reasonably price , and this thing , be the BEST . it clean thing SOOOOOOOO efficient that the price be extremely cheap for the result you get after use this vacuum cleaner . I love it ! +142 Vacuum POS 5 I be really please with this vacuum ! I have hardwood floor and area rug and this really be do a awesome job . I have a riccar that I be constantly have repair prior to the Bissel Cleanview and my area rug have never look better ! I have two dog and two cat , so there be always lot of shed to vacuum ! the dust canister be very easy to empty . at first I be not sure if the vacuum could be all that great because of its low price . I order it anyway thanks to the good review . I be so happy I do ! +994 Vacuum POS 5 this purchase be to replace a previous Boss that have provide many year of service and finally wear out . we have a lot of pet in we home , so we vacuum have high demand put upon they . this new Boss seem at least as good as , if not superior to , the last one . +847 Vacuum NEG 1 with a 5-minute run time and 20 hour recharge time this piece of junk be useless . how be they even allow to sell this thing ? there should be a big label on the box with the run time and charge time . I buy this to clean my car but with the terrible battery life it would take a entire week to accomplish the task . why this disaster of modern technology have so many 5 star review be mind boggling to I . +57 Vacuum NEG 1 terrible quality : my mom buy this for I at Costco after I have do lot of research . we do not get to test it out because the model be lock in place . it replace my cheap and efficent sharp vacuum that I have use for 12 year . I could not believe how heavy it be . it do not have a direct drive so move it back and forth take effort -lrb- I be a strong person - but my Sharp be s nice and easy -rrb- . after 3 month with use about 1 time a week the hose break and I duck-tape it together . after 6 month the on\/off switch break so when it be plug in , it be on . now a year and half later the carpet aggitator break . I have replace many belt in my year and I replace this belt but that be not the problem . I be happy it break because now I have a excuse to get a good vacuum . do not waste you money . +403 Vacuum POS 4 I have have mine for about 2 year now and have drop it down we stair at least once , I routinely drop the handle wand thing on we concrete floor and basically do not baby the machine at all . it have have ZERO damage , apart from the baseboard paint scuff all over the container . this thing be build like a rock . the power head be annoy in that it `` skip '' when be pull backward on low pile carpet . I do not know if that be avoidable . the `` 3 speed '' on the vacuum be also annoy in that it default to the medium speed anytime you unplug . I will admit that there be rare instance where I will not want full suction , but hey who in the world do NOT wan the vacuum to suck at high power pretty much all the time ? that kind of annoy I . other than that , I love it , and I must say that it be worth the price . every other vacuum I have have have have moderate or complete damage after a few year . this be go strong . I do wish the cord be longer . of course it vary by one 's house size , but I always seem to need 10 more foot on the cord . +782 Vacuum POS 5 I have have this vacuum for a year now . I have a big dog in a small house so hair build up fast . this thing handle the hair and even dirt like a champ . my floor look nice and clean after vacuum . the attachment be nice , especially the power paw . I love the sealed hepa filter -lrb- use my roommate 's conventional vacuum always give I allergy symptom -rrb- . the vacuum be pretty easy to maneuver but it do have a pretty big base so it be hard to fit in smallish place . also the handle can not fold all the way down , so it be hard to get under furniture . overall , I love this thing and could not really ask for more . +298 Vacuum POS 5 receive the Hoover on time . price be very fair . the vacuum have work perfectly since it arrive . we use it for stair and hardword floor and dust . also useful for we car . it take a little get use to use since it have no wheel and you carry it . however it be light weight make the carry very easy . you can get to almost anywhere you need to because of the extra long cord . the cord length be a real plus . the vacuum be strong and the attachment work very well . the Portapower be well make and use good attachment . I would purchase the vacuum again . +187 Vacuum POS 5 great vacuum for the price . I be extremely pleased with this purchase . the vacuum have a great amount of power and the attachment provide make it possible to clean any surface . amazingly fast shipping as well . +111 Vacuum NEG 2 it start out well but putter out after only a year . it be cheap but you would have to buy a new one yearly . that be a waist of resource and I hate the `` make it cheap and make it not last '' business practice . I replace the bag regularly , replace the filter but it just have poor pick-up and that be the whole point of a vacuum . when you have to run over the thing you can see 3-4 time to get it , how many thing that can not be see be be leave every time you vacuum ?! this replace a Dyson -lrb- that last year ! -rrb- and will be replace by a Dyson . +687 Vacuum POS 5 before I begin to review this , I want to preface this entire statement with the fact that I be obsessive about my carpet . I have severe allergy to dust , mold , mite and pet dander . -lrb- I do have a cat and this be a older home , so I have to stay on top of these thing . -rrb- I rent so I can not do much about it other than clean it once a week with a steam cleaner and vacuum a couple time a week . as a result , I be very hard on vacuum . they tend to break for I because I use they so often . I also have work as a housekeeper for several year and have have experience with professional quality machine and low end budget machine . now . that be say . I have go through three vacuum in the last five year . at a certain point , maintenance just will not fix it anymore . I buy this one to replace a replacement -lrb- it be a cheaper brand I buy at a local store -rrb- that last for about three week . in a nutshell : it be heavy and hard to pull back when you have it turn on . you literally have to fight against the suction . I personally like this , but someone who have shoulder and back problem , or muscular problem may find this to be a difficult unit to work with . it clean beautifully ! I have ten year old carpet -lrb- in a rental -rrb- and it fluff everything right back up . it do seem to pick up a great deal of the thing float around in the air\/on the carpet . I be breathe much easier after use this . to I , this feel like a light version of a industrial machine . it clean like it anyway . I could not be more pleased . if there be any room in you budget for a more expensive machine , I recommend get one . you can see and smell the difference . +103 Vacuum POS 4 I buy this vacuum because it be highly rate for pick up dog hair . however , I learn that it do not like vacuum up dog ` undercoat type fuzz . ' the vacuum constantly get clogged and the bag fall off . it may be great for regular dog or cat hair , but not this type . I must agree that it be get great suction and the carpet look fantastic after vacuum . so -- for I it be either get another type vacuum that will work on ` undercoat ' or get a new dog ! +737 Vacuum POS 5 this be a great vacuum for carpet . I have 2 long haired dog and vacuum everyday ... this get everything . I call it the boss of the dirt ! only two little thing you should know . it be heavy as far as carry it up and down stair . I use it on the one level of we house only - -lrb- the one with all carpet -rrb- . its not too heavy to push ... just would be clunky to take up and down stair . and the bag fill really quickly . I get throw alot of bag compare to other vacuum . otherwise , as far as cleaning go - love it ! it have great suction ! +501 Vacuum POS 5 I just buy this vaccuum last week and after several hour of use I be very pleased with it . I have never use a Dyson so I can not compare the two . however , unless the Dyson miraculously go around clean all by itself while you be at work , I do not know what I be miss out on with this Eureka . I spend a couple hour research vaccuum and read review before purchase . the 3 biggest criterion that influence my purchase decision be the ability to do a good job of clean both carpet and hardwood floor , suction power , and price . the 4870 do a great job on my carpeted floor and hardwood . you can disable the roller brush for when you be use the vaccuum on hard flooring . this be a great feature . as I have a lot of hardwood I would not have buy a vaccuum without this feature . read review of other vaccuum , I see that the exhaust blow out the front and scatter the dust bunny that you be try to suck up . I have not have this problem at all with the 4870 . it have great suction power and I like the power paw attachment for clean my sofa . when the handle be in the upright and lock position the vaccuum 's floor brush roller be disabled . this be another nice feature since you do not want the brush run constantly in one spot of you carpet while you be use the handheld hose and attachment . finally , I think it be a great value for a small price -lrb- I pay $ 140 -rrb- and I recommend it ! +188 Vacuum POS 5 amazing cleaning power - and I be pretty picky about cleaning -lrb- ask my better 1\/2 -rrb- . great vac for the price . suck up dirt that we previous vac never do . easy to clean filter - dry pretty quick . kid love to see the dirt after dad vac . very light and easy to drive . purchase after read review in lead consumer magazine - they be right . no reason to spend 4 or 5x this much on ANY vac . +261 Vacuum NEG 1 I first notice this vacuum be heavy . as I have have it for several year now , the belt have break many time . the hose have also break a lot and it be short . this vacuum be cheaply make , do not vacuum well especially on hard wood floor the dirt do not move ! I also just have to throw away the Eureka EnviroVac the roll brush break so do the belt . Eureka be a very bad vacuum no matter which model . +611 Vacuum POS 5 this be one great car vac ! its long cord reach all over the car . the extension nozzle go in crevice . it be really powerful . my reservation when I buy it be that it might be too large for easy storage , but it fold up into practically nothing and fit in one of the little niche under the deck of my suv . +82 Vacuum POS 4 the vacuum work fine ... I seem to go thru vacuum once a year so hope this one last at least that long . be especially impressed with the fast and cheap shipping ... make it worth it buy online ! +184 Vacuum POS 5 outstanding design , craftsmanship , feature , Easy to clean , and attractive to boot . I be stroll through Walmart one day and see this , I need a small vacuum for my shop , and this look like it would fit the bill so I take a chance . it be very powerful , and the flexible hose and attachment let you get in place a conventional portable will not . I love this thing , it be like they shrink down a full size vacuum without lose anything ! I just buy a second one on Amazon.com for a friend who love to keep he car clean , this will be a Godsend to he . I might add that I get a better price on Amazon than Walmart too . so far , I have no suggestion for improvement . +48 Vacuum NEG 1 I spend week research online about vacuum cleaner before purchase this one . I know I want a canister style with decent suction for my house which be hardwood on 1 floor and carpet on the other floor . the suction be ok - great for floor and mediocre for carpet . but I know from read review that no canister in this price range be go to have great suction on carpet . what I do not expect though be the smell that this vacuum emit each time you turn it on . it smell like something be burn , though it do not feel like its overheating . I have to open all the window and door in the house whenever I use it because the smell be overpower and end up spread all over the house . +583 Vacuum NEG 2 for the price only buy if you plan on use for 5 minute . very dissapointed in product for the price . I manage a retail store . buy the item to clean dust ect . first problem be the filter start to clog and have to clean in first 2-3min . this be normal cleaning . after clean filter 2-3 min . latter the vacuum lose battery power . for quick , and I mean quick cleanup be ready to to have on the charger 20 hour and clean power of 5-6 minute . not worth the $ 69.99 price . +104 Vacuum POS 5 the Black & Decker car vacuum be compact , plug into you car outlet , and do a good job of remove my dog 's constantly shed white hair . it come in a handy carry case , and store in the car easily . it be simple to put together and get the job do . +909 Vacuum POS 4 just get this vacuum and already very impressed . we other vacuum should have be retire long ago as this one do twice the job the other one do . we have a Dirt Devil Vision and think it be great , but wow , be we wrong . Eureka have a gem in this vacuum . just as it be be say , if adjust to the correct height , it tug itself forward . it be heavy , but the return you get from this vacuum be well worth the weight . only one fault with it that I find so far , and that be the storage location of the power paw . when vacuum and the cord be move around as you push and pull the vacuum around the house , it get catch on the paw and pop out of it be holder -lrb- not enough a reason for I to be upset or unhappy with it -rrb- . I be play around with the placement of the cord to see if that help . the paw be impressive as well . one other nice feature I find be that in order to see the belt you normally have to dismantle the vacuum , this one have a window so that be not necessary . the light be not really effective , but who vacuum in the dark anyway ? love the fact that when it be in the upright position , the beater bar stop spin also love that option to turn the suction to the hose from the floor . very nice feature . it seem very sturdy and that it should last quite a while . search through hundred of review , several vacuum , and ton of `` top ten vacuum '' poll , and the lowest I be able to find this vacuum be # 5 . almost all of they compare this to the Dyson , some rate it above the Dyson in performance and price . I be impressed with this machine , we carpet have be look like crap for a long time and do not know it until we get this vacuum . +376 Vacuum NEG 1 we return this vaccum . the hose be too long and will not stay in it be place . it flop all over while you be vaccume . -lrb- have to wind it around the front of the machine to keep it from come undo . -rrb- the attachment fall out of they place as well , so you be always fiddle with they and the hose . the cord get tangle up with the hose and attachment , so that be another thing you have to stop and fix eureka 4870mz Boss Smart-Vac Upright HEPA Vacuum Cleaner it seem to pick up well , but all the adjusting and fiddle negate that . not a user friendly item . +162 Vacuum POS 5 Works well ... have 5 dog , have back surgery , fill in the gap nicely between maid visit ... get the correct replacement filter +824 Vacuum POS 5 always use the Miele as it perform well but never think to look for a alternative . with the increase cost I go to the filtrete by 3M and do not like the stiff plastic inlet fitting . it leak and there be a lot of dust inside the filter compartment . the closure fitting would not close completely when remove and dispose of the bag . more dust . be now use the Envirocare at a very substantial savings and have find they be every bit as good as the Miele . the inlet fitting be not plastic but cardboard but work very well . not a speck of dirt inside the filter compartment . actually , if memory still serve I well the original Miele be cardboard . the envirocare be the only bag that I will buy . top performance and great value . for MIELE Vacuums f j m -lrb- 25 bag + 10 filter -rrb- +809 Vacuum POS 4 vacuum be excellent . a little on the heavy side like the other review say but a excellent value and plenty of suction . make you carpet stand right up . fast shipping and delivery make this a great transaction . excellent seller . would highly recommend both the vacuum and the seller . thanks +133 Vacuum NEG 1 this vaccumm work ok the first couple of time I use it . soon after the suction do not work as well and it blow dust everywhere . I clean the filter , but no better . the hose will not even pick up a kernel of popcorn . save you money . +618 Vacuum POS 5 vacuum be very good at pick up dirt , and dog hair ! it be very easy to assemble and store . +912 Vacuum POS 4 the suction and maneuverability of the vacuum be terrific . the paw attachment be wonderful for stair and furniture . my only complaint be that the handle be a little too low . I be about 5 ' 10 '' and it cause some minor lower back uncomfortableness . also , it do not lay down flat enough to get completely under the coffee and end table . my old vacuum would lay completely flat . it be just a minor inconvenience . I would also like a longer electric cord and a attachment to make the hose longer . those be just thing I be spoil on with my old vacuum . otherwise , I be completely happy . it be not too loud and the weight be good . I can easily carry it up and down the stair . +923 Vacuum POS 4 I have have this vacuum for about a month now and I be very satisfied with it so far . the machine be heavy and big , but the self-propelled function make up for it . so far , no problem with lose suction or break belt . I especially like the `` dial '' function to change from floor cleaning to attachment . the `` claw '' work very well on stair . I would recommend it . -lrb- also good with pet hair . -rrb- +67 Vacuum POS 5 I purchase my second Oreck a month ago ... I decide I want to keep my first one downstairs and not have to bring it up and downstairs ... my 2nd Oreck be a commercial model ... almost vacuum by itself ... so very lightweight ... I love it ... I clean house for my daughter who be go through chemo ... she have a Dyson ... I have a backache for at least a day after use that vacuum ... sure do appreciate the light weightness of the Oreck ... but be have ALOT of `` suck '' power ... highly recommend this vacuum !!!!! +860 Vacuum POS 5 First of all I be so surprised to receive the vacuum only a few day after I order it . excellent ! I want to use it as soon as I get it and I absolutely love this car vac . it be get great maneuverability and not too heavy . I love that it have attachment to pick dirt up better . it be get great suction and easy to dump out dirt when finish vacuuming . I would highly recommend this vacuum ! +219 Vacuum POS 5 even if it be not price so low . it be work well on carpet , any height . the hose attachment be easy to use & seem pretty durable . it work fine on bare floor -lrb- ceramic tile , wood , concrete -rrb- . with the money save on this I also purchase the Bissell Pet Hard Floor Vacuum for $ 50 which do a fantastic job on the bare floor & be very lightweight . this vacuum be also not a heavyweight which I really like . so , wow for $ 130 I be set to clean & these machine do a good job . +257 Vacuum POS 5 Works great . tremendous suction . a real bargain . we like it better than we top rate Kenmore . +885 Vacuum POS 5 I think I already review this son of a gun but what the hay . I 'll do it twice . be a very cheap tightwad , it be hard for I to find a good vacuum cleaner . I always read all the feature on the box and talk myself into the cheapest one - and it never work . thank God for Amazon and these reveiw because I do not think I ever could have ever find this fabulous peice of equipment without the help . very happy with this vacuum and still a really great price . win . win . +87 Vacuum POS 5 I have get generic vac bag before and they be just paper . Fine . I be not that particular and the Miele bag be so expensive . I order these figure they be just paper but they be the `` cloth '' type just like the OEM . very pleased . +916 Vacuum POS 5 these bag be great . ca not believe I be waste my money on genuine miele bag . these bag work the same . +888 Vacuum POS 5 I find the one to do its job . finally . this vacuum car cleaner really help I to keep my inside car clean all the time . Start and finish cleaning in 5 min . not bad at all . what else you can ask for ???? +622 Vacuum NEG 1 I do not recommend buy this vacuum . I have it only a couple month when the hose tear between the metal wire loop of the hose . Eureka do replace it but the second hose do the same thing . then the electrical cord tear right where it come out of the vacuum from rub on the plastic frame . the dog hair attachment tool do not hold up long either . it do have good suction but with all the repair that I have have to do with it , I have find it to be more bother than it be worth . I think I be go to go back to Kenmore . I have never have good luck with eureka product but have excellent luck with the Kenmore brand . I be sorry I waste the money on another Eureka product ! +944 Vacuum POS 4 I have go through about 6 or 7 minus vacuum over the year start with the original Dustbuster . most have last about a year . I have a Electrolux one that be not inexpensive last only 4 month . I normally research the heck out of a product before I purchase but I really need a new cordless vacuum to keep the area around the cat 's litter box clean so she do not track the litter all around the house . I spend a couple of hour read some review on Amazon and other website on the different brand and model available . this Black & Decker one keep pop up with a lot of good thing be say about it . there be some not great thing say as well but I decide to take the plunge and order it . it arrive a few day later . I take it out of the box and my first thought be `` oh , it be smaller than I think but it be so cute ! '' . actual dimension be : 12-1\/5 by 6-2\/5 by 10 inch . out of the box the first thing I do be plug it into the charger as I have read many reviewer say it will take at least 20 hour to charge . the next day i proceed to operate the vacuum without look at any instruction . when I get a new product I generally like to put it together and\/or operate and maintain it before I look at the instruction . this might seem odd but for review purpose I like to see how user friendly a product be . the vacuum be light enough to hold with one hand -lrb- even a older person would be able to use one hand -rrb- . the on\/off switch be a 2 inch slide switch located under the handle . this seem like awkward position to I . I power it on and tackle the errant cat litter . it do a fine job with plenty of suction . you can use the vacuum with the flexible hose in its lock in position on handle or disengage it from the handle when you need the flexibility . this vacuum be not very quiet but I have have some before that be more quiet but lack the suction this have . the fhv1200 come with 3 attachment . there be a standard crevice wand , a nifty 2-in-1 nozzle\/brush and a pet hair cleaning tool . the crevice wand and nozzle\/brush attachment fit into a caddy that snap onto the vacuum . this be very convenient and the caddy do not get in the way while use the vacuum . if you be in a tight spot you can easily remove the caddy . there be no spot -lrb- that I can figure out anyway -rrb- for the pet hair attachment on the caddy . the next thing I vacuum after the cat litter be the sofa . I attach the pet hair tool and go to town on my sofa and sofa throw pillow . WOW . I be very impressed with the amount of dog and cat hair this thing pick up . next -lrb- without look at the instruction booklet -rrb- I decide to clean the filter housing . I be a bit concerned about this because of the ick factor due to the cat litter I vacuum up . I open up the filter housing\/debris door and twist the filter cover off . do this over a trashcan ! I learn that the hard way . I dump all the debris into the trashcan , remove the filter and clean it -lrb- by pick the pet hair off by hand -rrb- and then wipe the remain debris dust inside the filter house with a paper towel . the filter itself be not in need of any additional cleaning at that time so I pop it back in and close it all back up . that be all easy to do without refer to any instruction . then I decide to address the issue some reviewer have with short run time after a full charge . I turn the machine back on and let it sit on the counter . I note the time and ignore it . after 15 minute the vacuum start to get increasingly quieter and I know its charge be die down . it go another couple of minute and I check the suction at that time and I know it be not go to pick anything up without recharge . remember however that this be after I have use the vacuum for 8 to 10 minute prior so the total work time this thing give I be about 20-25 minute after a full charge . this model have a 2 year warranty but I do not put much stock into these type of warranty because you first option be to return the product to the retailer -lrb- keep you receipt ! -rrb- or find a Black & Decker authorize repair center . I actually do a google search for one and find one 25 mile from my house . I have have my vacuum for a couple of week now and so far I be happy . it do what I need it to do which be to do quick pick up in between my regular vacuuming . it would be a great vacuum to keep you vehicle 's interior clean as well . if I notice the work time after charge diminish I will update edit my review . Edit Update : I just want to mention that I really do not use this unless I unleash the hose from the body of the vacuum . I find that the suction of the vacuum be cut in half unless you unwind the hose from the holder . also , I feel that for the money a extra filter should have be include with the accessory . +956 Vacuum NEU 3 this vacuum be just alright . have a Hoover wind tunnel before . probably should have purchase another one . this one just seem like its make really cheap . the suction be ok . Dont care for the switch on top to use the hose ... it be a pain . +270 Vacuum POS 4 my husband love this for he limo . it work great and he really like that it include a nifty carry case . +838 Vacuum POS 4 the vacuum be use by a assortment of people . everyone who use the unit appreciate the light wieght and ease of use . it do a good job and be easy to empty . it come with a extension cord that be not picture but list in the accessory section . excellent value . +126 Vacuum NEG 1 purchase this vacuum after read many positive review . I have a Panasonic which work great for over ten year . this vacuum last two month -lrb- use it twice weekly on three low area carpet -rrb- and the motor would shut off after vacuum for ten minute . suffer another 9 month with this vacuum by shut it off and let it cool down every few minute . then the plastic hose break and I give up . I just purchase a Oreck . +514 Vacuum NEG 1 less than a year old , less than 5 charge and the charger go bad and probably it damage the battery . the vacuum do not last too long , five minute and the battery be drain . I want to buy another charger but it seem that it be a difficult charger to find . it be a 16vac ~ 150ma . -lrb- ac be alternate current and most place I go they sell dc or direct current . -rrb- I definitely would never recommend this hand vacuum . +560 Vacuum POS 4 price and delivery excellent . have not use it enough to make a final judgment but , so far , vacuum be above average . machine seem to be heavy and balance be not good - hard to maneuver . tool all store on the machine and seem adequate but , have not yet use any of they . Controls and switch be very stiff , however , they seem to work ok . all in all , this machine seem to meet expectation for the price . +340 Vacuum POS 5 I take my beloved dyson dc07 in to my local repair shop for a new motor , and mention to he that I be head to costco for a dc-28 . a hour later I walk out of he shop with this Miele vacuum instead ... along with a $ 450 bill to repair and rejuvenate my Dyson dc07 . after a hour of vacuum with the Miele , I call he and tell he to trash the Dyson , and I be come back for a 2nd Miele -lrb- I be spoil , I like have a vacuum on each floor of my home -rrb- . this be a incredible vacuum I think . the tool be easier to use than the old Dyson , the suction be greater , more option to vary suction level . I be in love . +206 Vacuum NEG 1 get the previous version of this model -lrb- red pet vac -rrb- for christam last year -lrb- 08 -rrb- I live in a small apt and only vacuum about once a month . the vacuum already break . something happen to the brush , not the belt . the brush end up tear up the underside of the vacuum melting and shredding the plastic . now im stick use the hose to vacuum everything ! for the price -lrb- over $ 200 -rrb- be be definitely not worth it ! im very disappointed . try to get a refund or get it fix an customer service would do nothing for I . also the vacuum be very big and very very heavy . very disappoint with Eureka brand . look for a new vacuum at a affordable price but dont know which company to trust !?!? +437 Vacuum NEU 3 seem like a good product at first . as a portable , the suction be adequate . I use it 3 or 4 time a month to vacum my small car . after use it yesterday , I plug it in to recharge , and it will not charge . do not know if the ac adapter be bad or the battery be bad . I do not get my money worth from this vacuum . I give up with the battery power unit . I be look for a a ac power hand vac with more suction . +303 Vacuum POS 4 this be a well design , powerful , medium-to-lightweight , versatile backpack vacuum , as other reviewer have say . I have be use it for a little over a year and would purchase one again . some important caveat : First , the Hoover dust brush that come with my vacuum be poorly design and poor quality . the plastic bristle immediately collapse inward block most of the suction . I buy a Kirby real-bristle dust brush -lrb- $ 10 -rrb- , which fit right on the hose and work very well . also , the combination floor tool that come with my vacuum be great for carpet , but I want a real floor brush to use on hardwood floor . when I contact Hoover , I be tell that the optional floor brush picture in my manual be no longer available . I buy a Kirby floor brush -lrb- $ 25 -rrb- that fit snugly and work perfectly , protect my wood floor . finally , the Hoover or Royal BP paper bag be outrageously flimsy & overpriced -lrb- 7 for about $ 10 -rrb- . despite frequent bag change involve normal interior dust and dirt , nearly every bag I use split or tear , usually at the glue seam . this result in a filthy hypercone filter and a filthy , time-consuming cleanup job every time I change bag . over time , the dirt enter the inner chamber may also threaten the longevity of the vacuum motor . shame on Hoover ; do not they test they bag ? anyway , to address this issue , you can double up on the paper bag , or use both a paper bag and the include cloth dust bag , with the paper bag over & inside of the cloth bag . I have try both option . so far , both option have prevent the inside paper bag from splitting w\/o seriously soil the second paper bag or the cloth bag -- or allow dirt to enter the interior chamber . judge from the sound of the vacuum , it do not seem to be strain or work harder with two bag , as long as I regularly replace the inside paper bag when it be dirty . with the paper bag inside the cloth bag , the cloth bag stay pretty clean and just need a shake or two when I change bag . with two paper bag , the outside bag remain clean enough that I use it again when I change bag . +369 Vacuum POS 5 I have have this for a year and still work great . easy to use around the house and car . hold a charge well . great deal . +636 Vacuum POS 4 this machine be awesome ! convenient , efficient , and easy to use . only improvement could be a extendable wand to reach those really high place and a cushion cover for the canister -lrb- it can tend to bump into wall in tight place until you get use to the room it take up -rrb- +651 Vacuum POS 5 you can not find this bag in any of the store in we area . they appear to be the genuine article . +411 Vacuum POS 5 have my Miele for one year now and I be totally satisfy . it have work without a hitch since the day i take it out of the box . be the replacement of my former vertical Hoover , which have a strong suction power and be easy to use on floor , but be a pain to use for any other purpose . it be so poorly design that it be useless for anything else but floor vacuum cleaning -lrb- and let I add a word about the poor plastic quality , that break almost everytime I hit something -rrb- . Got my Miele with the seb 217-3 direct Connect Powerbrush . very light and maneuverable powerbrush that have excellent suction power . I use it for carpet as well as tile . what I like the most about this device be that it do not scatter the dust -lrb- like the cat litter on the floor -rrb- everywhere , as the powerbrush of my Hoover do . now , I get no more litter speck on my foot when I clean the cat litter area . as other say , the vacuum cleaner itself be light , very maneuverable -lrb- three 360 ' rotate wheel -rrb- and SO QUIET compare to my Hoover and yet , the suction power of the Miele be as good as the Hoover . thanks to the hepa filter , the air that come out of the Miele be much , much cleaner than my Hoover . Dustbag be easy to change , the accessory compartment be easy to reach and the compartment lid stay close when you clean -lrb- which be not the case on my Hoover ! -rrb- . the powercord unwind and rewind mechanism feel so strong that it seem almost unbreakable . finally , the storage of the vacuum cleaner be make easy with three point holder -lrb- one on each side and one on the back -rrb- . Easy to store the vacuum cleaner vertically or horizontally . on the con side : - user guide be generic rather than model specific . follow instruction can become sometimes tricky . for example , the dust brush can be use at a angle or upright -lrb- because it rotate -rrb- . this feature of the brush be write nowhere in the guide . unless you find it by yourself , you will not know . - for the price it sell , there be no power on\/off switch for the vacuum cleaner on the handle . there be only one for the powerbrush . that should be a must have feature for the money Miele ask . - the telescopic wand release button be on the detachable piece . feel counterintuitive since the first day i get the vacuum cleaner and it still do a year later . - finally , the airflow indicator can be use only with a floor tool attachment to show if the dustbag must be change . final word after a year , my Miele s5281 feel like a solidly-built and lasting vacuum cleaner . it do a excellent job at vacuum cleaning carpet , tile , furniture , etc. , and it do it with a ease of use and with a unmatched quietness . despite the heavy price at the date of buying , if it last 20 to 25 year as I expect it to last , then it will not have be a expensive purchase after all . +745 Vacuum POS 5 I order this vacuum on tue use the Free Shipping offer for the holiday & it arrive on Fri. . ca not beat that for fast ! the vacuum be amazing at clean hard surface floor . the turn off feature for the brush make cleaning tile & hardwood wonderful , because it do not throw it back out . really do a great job on carpet as well . +966 Vacuum POS 4 the Black and Decker car vacuum work well , pick up piece of grass and small pebble . it get under the front seat well . the only problem I notice be clean the carpet evenly when there be no particle to pick up . +index Domain Label Rating Review +68 Vacuum POS 5 I live in a apartment complex and I do not have a option for use my floor vac for my car and with a 2 yr old my car get messy almost every week . I clean my car atleast once in 2 week . I try many different vacuum -lrb- cordless , cord , cheapone and expensive once -lrb- $ 50 + -rrb- but I end up return each one of they for many different reason . but B&D; PAV1200W be the best auto vacuum you can have , it just take about 5 min for I to vacuum my car . I most use it with brush attachment as I get carpet mat and it work really good . only thing that I do not like very much be clean the filter take some effort but I be just fine with that too . +541 Vacuum POS 4 bag be great . not as top-quality as the Miele brand bag , but these be the best `` economy '' bag out there . +182 Vacuum POS 5 I research vacume cleaner on consumer report before I buy , as I want one that could handle a few rug and hardwood floor - we have a 2 year old and 2 lab . plus we just move to the coast and there be a lot of sand ! this be a loud , heavy machine that remind I of my grandmother 's , but it work ! it get everything up , whether it be on the bare floor or the rug , and it have the hose if you need it as well . this be a bit annoying to I , as I find that attachment just fall off and get in the way , but they be handy at time . anyhow , there be some bad vacume and some way overpriced one out there , so for the cost this one be great ! +936 Vacuum POS 5 my old B&D; stick vac die last year and I do a lot of research on a new one . the psv1800 have excellent suction , great battery life and amazing manuverability . it be easy to empty & clean as well . I can do my whole downstairs : tile & carpet and there be no lack of power . it be a bit heavier than the old one , but the result be worth it . I could not be happier ! +960 Vacuum POS 5 this be probably the best little cordless vac I have ever purchase . I love it and it do what it say ... ... great remove pet hair -lrb- cat -rrb- !! I purchase it from Amazon.com and the price can not be beat !! check it out - you will not be sorry ! +150 Vacuum NEG 2 this little vacuum sound great , especially since it carry a name I trust , but I wish I would purchase something else . it be great for quick job like crushed potato chip in the carpeting after family movie night or dust bunny in-between my cabinet and my fridge , but its charge be unacceptably short and I find myself race through my house to get thing do with it . and it take forever to charge back to full power . I have also find that the white-box portion of the vacuum 's plug get hot while plug into the outlet so I do not leave it plug in overnight or while I be go . at the very least , I wish I have the option to use the vacuum plug in versus cordless . it be lightweight and have good suction , but be almost useless to I when I can only use it for short burst of cleaning . +693 Vacuum NEG 1 I just buy this at target today -lrb- $ 99 -rrb- and I could barely lift it off the charger . it be very heavy and awkward . it be go back tomorrow . +22 Vacuum POS 4 I really like this vacuum , it work great . after own it for a year the battery need to be replace . there be only 2 of we so I vacuum 1-2 time a week , in a average size house , I think it be a little premature for this to be a issue . the suction be great , the noise level be acceptable and the portability be awesome , just think the battery issue should not be a issue . +116 Vacuum POS 5 I buy this vacuum to quickly clear the dog hair off we new hardwood floor and the vinyl floor in the kitchen . it do that very well - it be very light and suck up pretty much anything a normal vacuum cleaner would . run for a good 10 minute on a charge , have never run the battery totally down . as a bonus , the kid even like use this vacuum ! +704 Vacuum NEU 3 I have purchase this vacuum partially due to the rave review here . however , my expectation be not fully meet . while I would agree that this be a good vac for floor and small rug , I would not commend the suck power of the motor , and hold it on the showlder do not get comfortable with prolonged use and when you need to bend -lrb- it fall off -rrb- . in general for the price it be a good deal but it be useful to remember : you get what you pay for ... +915 Vacuum NEG 2 great cleaning pwer for this bag use upright vacuum , but its 21 pound heft make it very difficult to use . we return it after one attempt at use . we be fairly athletic people in we 50s , and we still find it difficult to push around . the roller should be motorize and the heft take out of the upright canister to make this more user friendly . BTW , Amazon sell the bag and belt for this vacuum cleaner , which we buy along with the vacuum . the bag and blet come from a different vendor , and they do not accept return . we be stick with this stuff !!! +700 Vacuum POS 5 just try mine for first time -lrb- 11\/2011 -rrb- . Works well . light to push , suction very good , pick up a lot of dust and hair . Filter seem seem easy to clean . attachment be all good . combination dust brush\/upholstery tool be a bit awkward to use b\/c of the way it be slant and the TurboBrush would be better if you have the option for the hose to be upright while you use it . overall , pretty fantastic for the price ! +934 Vacuum NEG 1 I buy this vac about two month ago and now it will not run for five minute before need a charge ! if you only need it for five minute , its great . +388 Vacuum NEG 1 I could not decide whether to buy the vacuum or not , the review be mix . well I purchase this vacuum and it really be just a poor design . 1 . the waste bucket be just what it be , but high tendency to jam up from the hose ... especially if you have someone with medium length hair . so be prepare to pull out hair and direct -lrb- yuck -rrb- the filter on the bottom of the waste bucket , be all chalky and gross all the time , leak out ! who design that ! 2 . the beater brush do not turn off when the vacuum be lock in the vertical position -lrb- to use the hose -rrb- . BIG ISSUE !! the beater brush will still beat , and beat it will on you carpet ... all in one spot . I be prepare for this , since another reviewer mention it ... but what a pain to have to tilt the vacuum -lrb- so the beater be hit the floor -rrb- and use the hose . who design THIS ~ !!! 3 . suction be ok , size of area ok , and maneuverability be easy . its light enough to haul upstairs and downstairs . impossible to use on the the step . I do not recommend this item +589 Vacuum POS 4 I really dig this little vac . it reach into space that would be inaccessible with any other hand vacuum I have see . it be very convenient to be able to set the canister down , or hold it in you other hand , as you vacuum -lrb- especially for door jamb and other place that require a reach -rrb- . I find it to be perfect for clean up my little apartment . after read other review , I expect the battery life to be worse than it be , though I do wish vac like this come with adaptor . I recommend it . +397 Vacuum NEG 1 after read a lot of review I think this would be great for quick cleaning small amount of pet hair , crumb , dirt , et cetera , off hard flooring . this be so much work to use , and make a really unpleasant noise , that I end up buy another vacuum cleaner just a few day after get this . it be basically a really expensive mini-vac\/dust devil type of thing , but not very efficient . the only thing good about it be that it be rechargeable and do not require a bag -lrb- which be why I think I would give it a shot -rrb- . it be currently charge in a closet , where it will probably spend most of its time until I get around to donate it to some thrift store . +543 Vacuum POS 5 UPDATE : after two month of use ... I give it five star again . people , this be for small clean up job not vacuum whole home !! here be a tip . after you have cycle through five charges\/discharges keep it plug in full time . so you use it for say two minute , plug it back in . keep it plug in and it will always be ready . original review : if you plan on use this as you only vacuum you will be disappoint . for smaller job this thing rock ! the pet hair tool really work ... be a bit skeptical it could lift up month of thick cat hair but no problem . battery life be 10 + minute and I have only cycle the battery a few time . 10 minute be actually a fairly long time for most job . it be light , the tool do they job , it be powerful ... five star from I ! +779 Vacuum POS 4 just receive the twist . it work great . it pick up the debris nicely and it work well as you go from floor to carpet . it be a little heavier than I expect and a little louder because of the powerful motor . I think it be relatively quiet compare to the central vacuum I use in the past as well . I would recommend this vacuum to other . solid construction , easy to twist and get around all the furniture . +241 Vacuum POS 4 I think I already write a review of this vacuum , but it must have be on the target site . anyway , this be a excellent , powerful vacuum . we have a multi-cat household and I be always amaze at how much fur and -lrb- cat litter silt -rrb- get 's pick up . grant , there be no bag so the back of the vacuum get dust powder ... so a little leak out when be use . the only con , I realize this past month . I decide to wash the filter ... not a good idea . I have to wash several time and bake in the sun , but the filter now stink ... very much . when I vacuum it smell like wet cat . Yuck ! so not a big deal ... I just realize that I have to buy new filter rather than wash they . otherwise , I love my Bissell and highly recommend it !! +566 Vacuum POS 4 the Black & Decker PSV 1800 Cordless Pivoting Floor Vacuum Cleaner be quite a nice device , capable of handle carpet as well as hardwood floor -lrb- fortunately -rrb- . Easy to use , a nice charge feature build into the storage stand and a reasonable amount of use afford by a single charge , after the first couple , since it take a couple of charge for the battery to reach its potential . I give away my big , noisy vacuum cleaner after receive this one . +784 Vacuum NEU 3 I have have this vacuum cleaner for over 2 year now . pro ; it have be very dependable . good suction on carpet and bare floor . for the most part in this price point do a good job . con ; it be quite heavy and my wife for the most part rely on I to vacuum . the foot pedal definetly work very hard and I avoid lock back in the upright position due to the dificulty to disengage . if it be not so heavy I would give it 4 star . be aware , if you will be go up and down stair and be of limited strength you may want to find something lighter . I do look at consumer review when research different product , and be weary of 5 and 1 star review . 5 's due to lack of use and 1 's since sometimes we all puchase lemon . overall I would say this be a good product . +279 Vacuum POS 5 this be we first cordless vacuum and we have only have this one for a little over a month . it be much more convenient than have to plug and re-plug a cord vacuum as you move around the house . I really enjoy the bendable joint in this vacuum for go under bed and other furniture ; it operate with a slide button near you hand as you be vacuum so , again , be quite convenient and easy to bend the vacuum as you go under something , then un-bend it to go on vacuuming . we have new laminate floor so do not use the brush on the bottom . I like its light weight compare to a cord vacuum , too ; and the bottom be small enough to get into some tight-ish corner . +278 Vacuum POS 4 we have be very happy with the use of this product so far . my mom have one and have have some trouble with belt but we have not have any problem yet . +180 Vacuum POS 5 as the title say , for the price this be a great vacuum . my wife and I have a 2000 sq ft house that be mostly hardwood with some carpet . it clean on both nicely . when we get the dog she want , or the kid we both want I think we may upgrade . I might be totally underestimate this though . I have yet to see how it handle pet hair , or how messy my future kid will be . plus : the canister be easy to clean . there be a adjust knob for the floor type you be vacuum . lastly , I have not have to use the add piece because simply remove the house have prove sufficient for pick up anything the base can not . the one negative I can think of ... as with most vacuum the cord be a bit of a chore . all in all , it be cheap , it work . Great for light vacuuming and possibly more . +349 Vacuum NEG 1 piece of crap do no recommend trow it away . it do not even suck in anything use it on my laptop keyboard and on the keyboard speaker and nothing happen the dust be still there . +586 Vacuum POS 4 great vac for the price and power . could use a none strechable hose and better wasy of attach the cord . have a funny burnt smell when in use ! +294 Vacuum POS 4 we purchase this vacuum a few month ago to replace a canister style Kenmore which serve we well for 8 year . I love the small size and lightweight nature of this machine . it have a strong suction and be quite powerful for its size . my 9 yr old buzz the kitchen - bit of food , dog hair , dirt - easily and efficiently with the wand in one hand and the shoulder strap over she shoulder . make the strap convertible to a backpack option -lrb- I do not like to walk with the strap across the other shoulder -rrb- and I would give it 5 star . it do well on both carpet and hardwood - we have tile , wood , and some area rug with not very deep pile . +985 Vacuum POS 5 we have just purchase we second Hoover Windtunnel self propel vacuum . we then have new carpet install about a week later . the self propel feature of the Hoover would not work on the thicker higher pile shag carpet and it be very hard work to push and pull the vacuum across the carpet . we return the Hoover and try the Oreck upright , think the lighter weight would make it easier . same problem . very difficult to manuever . enter the Carpet pro CPU 2t . I buy it after read these positive review , especially the one state it work well on they shag carpet . the Carpet pro perform beautifully . it almost feel like it be self propel . it move over the carpet easily and clean very well . we be very happy with we purchase and recommend it highly . +290 Vacuum POS 5 the vacuum be everything I hope it would be . and it work the way I hope it would . very powerful in remove pet hair and cleaning rug , furniture . it arrive when I be tell it would , in excellent condition . I be completely satisfied and pleased with this purchase . +253 Vacuum NEG 1 the first time I use my new bissell it work great - it pick up all the hair and dirt that my cheapie old vac could not handle ... but the first time I have to empty it I just figure it be because it pick up so much dirt my old one miss I do not think it would be so dirty to empty it - just take out the main filter cause dust and hair to fly out of the compartment and all around you - then the foam filter on the bottom be coat with a fine dirt so I wash it ... now everytime I vacuumn it smell like wet dog - I try put a dryer sheet in the bottom filter but it only work after you have vacummn for about 5 minute & then its time to empty the filter again ... its disgusting and a huge process that you basically have to vacuumn again to clean up the mess of empty so just think I would warn anyone who be think of purchase that I do not know if its because I have a dog and cat or that it just suck but I waste my money cause I have to go get a new one - any recomendation ?? +292 Vacuum POS 5 in short , this be a excellent vacuum at a very reasonable price . incredible suction , and the hair from my husky be completely go from the floor and couch thanks to the power paw attachment . if you be a pet owner that be serious about clean but do not want to break the bank , this be the vacuum for you . also , inexpensive generic consumable be available for this item , such as bag at around 90 cent each , and hepa filter at $ 10 each . the unit be very easy to maintain and clean out pipe , filter , and change bag . great product , great price , inexpensive consumable , and easy to maintain . of course there be the con : bag sometimes come loose if not install properly the first time . take I a couple of try to fully learn how to install the bag correctly . it can be difficult to close the front door on the unit , sometimes you have to wiggle it around till it click . unit be heavy ! the foot release be difficult to press down on . all in all , a excellent value , and a great perform vacuum . +703 Vacuum POS 4 love the suction power on this vac . also love the way it easily go from use it on carpet to use it on a flat floor . empty it be a bit of a pain though , but not difficult . I use it not only in the house but I also take it to the lake for use on the pontoon floor . +54 Vacuum NEU 3 its a great vacuum . although cord constantly come out of the volt socket . its a little lose and you have to be careful . other than that , its a great vacuum . do the job well . +237 Vacuum POS 5 this have make vacuum the house , and do it a bit here and a bit there before it get out of hand , so much easier . it be equivalent to grab a broom and sweeping , but you do not have to fool with the dust pan . throw rug and floor , no problem ! if you want to vacuum for long period of time , this be not for you -- seem to work at full power for about 10 minute . really easy to dump out the dirt . I use the roller bar all the time , even on linoleum , as it do not work nearly as well without it . I be get rid of my full size vacuum and will never go back to have one . +175 Vacuum POS 5 I buy this as a refurbish unit . I could not tell . it look and run as brand new , but at half the cost . I replace a 4 year old bagless vac . there be no comparison when it come to clean power . this vacuum have ton of suck power . it actually clean my floor . the only negative be it do not come with the power brush , but that be no biggie . the include attachment work fine for I . +928 Vacuum POS 4 a little heavy , but reach all the crack and crevice and seem to have good suction +351 Vacuum POS 4 I grow up with bag vacuum and always think it be a hassle to have to change the bag , not to mention the add cost of buy they too . so when I move out I buy one bagless vacuum after another . these be not cheap one either , they be all pricey one with good review , yet the best of they only last less than a few year . I live with a dog , so dog hair have always be the culprit . all of the bagless vacuum would routinely get clog up , force I to take they almost completely apart to clean . that be more time consuming than change a bag and have to be do far more frequently . now on to the Carpet pro CPU 2t . I have own this vacuum for almost a year now and it be still go strong . the bag for it be reasonably price , it still have wonderful suction , the length of the cord be very helpful , and it be cheaper than some of the bagless vacuum that I have purchase in the past . there be a couple thing though that do prevent I from give it 5 star . the hook to hold the cord be too close together . that , combine with the extra long cord , mean that you have to wrap the cord around the hook more time than you would if they have place the hook further apart . the other thing that I have problem with be the tool . they seem more like a afterthought than anything else . they be not long enough and when I first get the vacuum I find myself have to hold the vacuum up with one hand in order to reach thing that be eye level with I . luckily I still have the attachment from my other vacuum and I find a couple of tube extension that I be able to use with this set . +743 Vacuum POS 5 buy this as a gift for my son for he new apartment and he love it ... say it be very easy to use and store and do a great job of clean the floor and carpet . +526 Vacuum NEU 3 I have have the Portapower for over two year and feel that I have now have adequate experience to reflect on its good and bad point . I have also have a Miele canister and can compare it to another albeit far more expensive vacuum . in short , I think you get what you pay for . here be the major problem of the Portapower . 1 . the portapower do not come deliver with the ability to dispose of the bag . really , you have to purchase a additional piece of plastic that convert the round mouth to a square mouth in order to then use disposable bag . the vacuum come with a single fabric bag that be not easy to empty or clean . it be best do outside and with a perfect knowledge of where the wind will blow the bag contents . 2 . the Portapower have virtually no filter for retainer fine dust . absolutely no ability for a hepa or similar filter , unlike the Miele . when you turn on the Portapower you should expect that the room will start have a stale smell , which be from the expulsion of fine dust out the back of the vacuum . the Miele do not have that problem . 3 . the portapower do not have a retractable power cord . the Miele have one that you can activate with you foot . this difference might seem trivial but become a hassle . it come with a band that be intend to tie the fold cord -lrb- about 30 foot -rrb- , but it be so flimsy that it amaze I that any thought be give to its adequacy . even a velcro strap would have be a better solution . 4 . the power of the Powerpack be not go to blow you sock off . instead , I think you will find that it be barely adequate . 5 . by no means be this vacuum design to commercial specification . aside from the tube , there be no metal part . the latch to open the canister to access the aforementioned dust bag be incredibly flimsy . the accessory fitting be noticeably cheap plastic that be not design with a goal of minimize clog . for the Miele the plastic seem much more substantial and the tube diameter be noticeably larger , clearly design to make sure that clog be minimize . moreover , the Miele canister have a compartment for the accessory , while the Portapower have no such feature . on the good side be that the Powerpack have not fail in two year of light use . if I be in a position of purchase a vacuum today , I would spring for the extra cash and purchase a bare bone Miele for $ 300 . I know that it be unfair to compare the portapower to a vacuum that be more than twice as expensive , but I do it only to let the prospective purchaser know that s\/he have not yet reach the price point of marginal diminish return . +901 Vacuum POS 5 oh my gosh , just love this vacuum ! First of all , it be so neat because when you turn it on the bare floor option , the brush do not spin , so it just suck up all the dirt without throw it all over the place -lrb- hardwood floor -rrb- . love it ! yes it be heavy and a bit bulky but that do not matter , it make we place look amazing once we be do vacuuming . the filtration look awesome , and I love that it be a bagged vacuum . +157 Vacuum POS 5 this be simply the very best vac that I have every own , hand down . one time over something and shazam it . s go . exceptionally good suction . +862 Vacuum POS 4 I be a little confused about how to operate it and put it together . slide handle on and use 3 screw with large phillip screwdriver . take a little elbow grease lady . yellow `` Floor\/Carpet '' switch on lower part of vacuum have a trick . you must release the foot latch from the upright position to drop the handle to a vacuum position . then you push the yellow button with both finger until you hear it click -lrb- twice ? -rrb- when you return the vacuum to a upright position the yellow switch flop around again but you have set it so do not worry about it . it be ok . if you have set it to `` Carpet '' then turn the large yellow dial on top to `` Floor '' . now you be ready to vacuum the carpet . the foot release latch to lower the handle be also different . must keep foot to the outside of this latch to press down . do not release if you step straight down . release to the left and down . out and down . I have have several eureka over the year . they have all last a long time . this new one be a little busy on the dial and release . . more to do . two tricky latch . I try to peek in at the front filter and could not do the latch . will deal with it later when it need to be change . another tricky latch ? basically I call the 800 number for Eureka customer service and press 7 . a customer service lady be very polite and explain everything or else I would have think it be break upon delivery . I will call she again to find out the trick to open the filter area . do not force the plastic button . they be only plastic . this vacuum have a forward power drive , power paw , and all the attachment , long cord and ample hose stretch . when the vacuum be upright the carpet roller brush stop and you can turn the big yellow dial to `` hose '' and use the attachment for any corner or quickie floor job in tight area . do a great job on the carpet , pull the nap up , great suction . it be a 25 lb . vac , a bit heavy , but very good quality . seem sturdy . must have a heavy motor . the attachment stay in they proper place accord to the instruction book placement . the customer serivce rep answer all my question include a local warranty service center for my new vacuum and what the warranty cover . the red color be very pretty . I find the noise level be not as quiet as some but not annoying either . Hope this be helpful . pfw +625 Vacuum POS 5 leave it to german engineering ! they sure get this one right . I be really hesitant to spend this much on a vacuum but if this Miele s7210 last at least several year I will be satisfy . it be very quiet compare to the Hoovers and Electrolux that I have use and purchase in the past . I like the swivel\/rotating head design , be not originally sure about that . the layout of the accessory and design of the hose be very convenient . it have do great on we short pile wool rug , tile and hardwood -lrb- with brush head off -rrb- and the small rug in we kitchen . I run over the cord once and it shut itself off to avoid damaging anything when the brush head get jam ! now if I can only teach it to pick-up the kid toy , floor cleaning would be cake ! I will try to update this review next year to make sure it be still hold up well . +851 Vacuum POS 5 my old vacuum cleaner be a inexpensive bagless model and work ok but I never really like clean it out . I always feel like dirt be `` float '' back into the house when I remove the dirt holding tank . it be damage in a flood and I need a new one so reasearched bag vs. bagless vacuum online . my research reveal that if you want a bagless vacuum spend the extra money and get a expensive one but you can get by with a less expensive model if it use bag . I decide on this model and be very surprised at the suction and cleaning power . I would definately recommend this model and would buy it again . +20 Vacuum POS 5 very flexible design allow you to get into very tight space . the suction create be outstanding for a 12v . compare to 120v hand held . +223 Vacuum POS 4 my wife be tire of the old one , same type and bag etc. . . , so I buy she this one . a little heavy , but it accelerate quick enough . she seem to enjoy fly it almost as much as I enjoy watch she . the improve thrust let she get a bit too close to airliner traffic , so I ask she to stick to chase kid in cemetery and the occasional backdrop with the moon , or else everyone will know what you be instead of just think it ... ; -rrb- +565 Vacuum POS 5 I have a carpet and a cat and this vacuum be amazing ive have more expensive but they do not compare to this vacuum . it be a little more bulky then most vacuum out now but i highly recommen this for anyone with pet +420 Vacuum NEU 3 buy the vacuum base on customer review . have excellent suction which do a great job on carpet and floor . however the belt that drive the brush seem to break every other month . they be not terribly expensive but the hassle of remove the bottom cover plate , then replace the belt have I worry the plate screw be go to eventually wear the plastic hole in the frame and no longer keep the plate attach . belt be a very thin rubberized material with fiber reinforcement . Seem to disintegrate rapidly . if you buy thus vacuum make sure you have some spare belt on hand . +800 Vacuum NEG 1 total junk , plastic mechanism to engage and disengage roller break from day one , my mistake be not pack it up and send it back . order it from Amazon be no problem . +523 Vacuum NEG 1 essentially , it be a dust buster on wheel . the vacuum opening be only a few inch wide . there be not any vacuum power , and there be not any brush . additionally , it get stick on everything . the first time I run it on my carpet . it travel 10 foot , and then get stick on the heating duct grate on the floor . the second try I run it on the linoleum in the kitchen . it travel 3 foot , turn toward the carpet and get stick on the threshold between the linoleum and the carpet . the third try , I put it on short dense office building type carpeting . there be a 1\/8 inch thick cord tape to the floor with duct tape . the unit travel 5 foot , and then get stick on the cord . +832 Vacuum POS 5 this be a good vacuum cleaner if you plan on use it for short spot cleaning . like the other reviewer note , it have a runtime of about 5 minute . however , it have a lot of power so we do not usually need to use for more than a couple of minute . pro : \* have enough power to pull up most dirt , cereal , etc \* not very heavy \* Dishwasher safe filter \* Easy to remove filter con : \* short runtime -lrb- 5 minute -rrb- +905 Vacuum POS 5 before this we have a old Bissel from 2002 that be ready to go . we win this brand new one in a contest . all you have to do to put it together be put in one screw and snap on the hose ! it have four easy to use tool . one be the slim tool for tight place that a big hose can not get to . another be the hose extension for extra height . the Third be a double side dust tool for couch and anywhere else that have dust . the COOLEST one be the Turbo Brush for couch . it be like a mini vacuum for couch ! flkb2 's thought on it be `` Great Suction , Useful Tools , and I like the Hepa Media Filter for allergy . '' +546 Vacuum NEG 1 I buy this vac because we have multiple pet and do not want to haul out a full size vacuum everyday . I have two primary problem with this vacuum . the first , as have be state frequently , be the battery life . no matter what quality this vacuum have , the battery be ultimately the critical flaw . it will not run while plug in and it do not vacuum with any real strength after approximately 5 minute . I certainly understand that it be mean for small job but when a product be advertise as ideal for vacuum pet hair -lrb- and have a attachment for such -rrb- then it be realistic to believe that it will have sufficient charge to vacuum a couch . unfortunately this be not the case and bring I to my second complaint : the product description on Amazon make no mention of a short battery life , which I can understand give how abysmal it be . from a company that , in my experience , make superior product , Black & Decker should be ashamed for release such a pitifully poor hand vac . let I counter other review and opinion that the battery need to be condition prior to first use and the vacuum be not mean to be use for more than a few minute at a time and other such asinine comment . anyone who have any experience with rechargeable battery should know that the battery in this vacuum be exceptionally bad . do you research and do not believe the positive review which , in my more furious moment with this device , make I believe be plant by B&D; 's marketing division . -lrb- j\/k , though you may feel the same if you buy this despite other customer warning . -rrb- to be fair , everything else about the vacuum be exceptional base on those glorious first five minute . should Black & Decker recall this sorry product and re-engineer the battery a standard will be set to which all other handheld vacuum will aspire . +322 Vacuum POS 4 I have have this vacuum for about a year now , replace my bag 12 amp Dirt Devil when it die , slay by my long hair . I shed quite a bit , and the poor Dirt Devil 's motor and brush be no match for my hair 's ability to clog the brush and muck up the work . enter the Bissell Cleanview helix . it do a great job , and between two filter and the main debris canister , get a ton of stuff . I love the on-board attachment -- they all work well -- and the ability to adjust the main vacuum brush to the floor surface -lrb- it have about five setting depend on how high you carpet nap be , include a bare floor setting , perfect for my 6 square foot of kitchen tile . clean the top filter be super-simple and can be do in less than a minute , but the bottom one take a bit more work -- all of five minute . oh , life be hard . Minus one star for the allergy-triggering that happen when I empty & clean the vac filter . +99 Vacuum POS 4 I be happy with the Oreck XL - it be lightweight and suck up all the dirt ... my only complaint be that when you pull the vacuum back toward you , the wheel make a very unpleasant sound . maybe this will stop when the vacuum be `` break in '' but right now it be quite annoying . +164 Vacuum NEG 1 after read all the review , I be convince this be the vaccum for I . it be not . it have no wheel and must be hand carry which be awkward to have both hand occupy while vaccuming . the suction be good on tile and hardwood floor . I have one small area of carpet . the carpet head be not rotary , simply a double row of stiff brush . it be difficult draw the carpet head across the carpet . actually , I have to vaccum with the pile direction to even be able to draw the carpet-head -- which do nothing to release the dirt in the carpet pile . but , I be still ok because I only have a minimal amount of carpet . it come with multiple tool . all of which be leave behind because they be not ` on board ' . ok if one want to run back and forth to switch out tool . and storage be a problem unless one want to put they in a bag someplace . the last straw be the filter\/bag . it be poorly design . dust collect around the seal and would drop to the floor upon open the bag compartment . the bag be some composite , clingy material -lrb- plastic\/paper ? -rrb- - make it difficult to shake out the dust . it be a long cyclinder shape and one have to invert it to get the dust out . it do not seem it would hold up to many water rinsing . and , from my perspective , it would have to be clean with every use . the long cord be nice except one have to now manuever the cord while vaccuming . remember both hand be already occupy with carry the unit and the vaccume hose . this be my first and last foray into the world of canister vaccum . +483 Vacuum NEG 1 I be a mom with 3 kid and a minivan -lrb- stereotypical , but true -rrb- . I buy this because I need a cordless vac that I could use in the car and my dust buster be not cut it for suction . yes , this have better suction , but it take 20 hour to charge and literally only work for 5 minute . the motor start to slow before 10 swipe and you feel like you be race the clock try to get the cleaning do before it die while the suction be decrease in strength the whole time . Cleaning be annoying enough , I need it to be stressful too ? Ok , so it be only 5 minute of stress , but annoying nonetheless . realistically , with 3 kid and a minivan , 5 minute be not go to get my car clean , and you actually have to charge it another 20 hour before you can use it with any evidence of effective suction . unrealsitic and basically useless . it do have a pet hair tool which may be useful , but we have no pet hair to clean . honestly , if you need to clean pet hair , save you money and use one of those mask tape lint brush from the dollar store ! +866 Vacuum POS 5 this be a excellent vacuum however it be very heavy . be of short statue and not very strong my husband usually do the vacuum since we buy this . it take off forward very easily but be very hard when pull it back . `` it probably pick up better than any vacuum I have ever have tho and I have have alot in my 65 year . '' I highly recommend this . it even pick up tiny thread that be always on my quilt studio floor . +208 Vacuum POS 5 pleasantly surprised how powerful the 2nd speed ; -lrb- beater brush -rrb- , for carpet , be . Great for apartment . Compact , fold up , lightweight , clean under furniture , & hold a charge ! good suction , & easy to clean . just dump the dirt in the garbage . no bag . highly recommend ! +837 Vacuum POS 5 extremely nice vacuum . definitely much more battery life and much less clumsy than a far more costly brand I buy just month ago and it have similar , good suction . this be also a new tech vacuum with great battery , clever design , a special motor , and the suction of the best battery unit . very easy to use since it be so well balance in the hand . and it have a flexible hose with `` normal '' crevice tool - why , oh why , have the manufacturer be so slow to make a tiny , battery-powered vacuum with a hose ? -lrb- a few year ago I have rig up a dust Buster with a hose and for the first time it be REALLY useful !! without the hose I always have feel the manual should say `` ok , pull all the dust out from underneath thing or in crevice , line up that dust in a row away from obstacle , and vacuum it up ! '' -rrb- the new Flex be a little noisy , but really good . +854 Vacuum POS 5 I have own this same unit for more than 7 year with 2 household use it weekly and the motor go out just in Feb. 2011 . lucky for I I be able to find the same model on Amazom.com so I jump on it asap . head up this be not the most quite of unit . Lady Lee +677 Vacuum NEU 3 this be the second Eureka Boss I purchase in 7 year . it be the best choice overall . I have own KenMore and Electrolux , pay lot of money for they and this one work just as well for a much better price . the quality of product today be not what they use to be . very few thing last more than 3 to 5 year so why buy the pricier item . +806 Vacuum POS 4 I do not mind the noise level of the vacuum . I live in a house that have stain concrete floor . I be use a regular upright vacuum on that be leave visible streak mark on the floor from the roller . this backpack vacuum be gentle and have strong suction . it have not hurt my back yet even though I have have to remind myself not to lean over with it on . only complaint be that the extension do not secure\/snap into place and fall off upon normal retraction over carpet\/noteworthy resistance . +993 Vacuum POS 5 great vacuum suck everything in its way . I have three time more expensive vacuum for my first floor and I buy this much cheaper vacuum for my second floor , and to be honest with you I find no difference in suck power both of they be 12 amp. , almost same weight and same noise level . I be happy I purchase Bissell hopefully it last atleast couple of year . +911 Vacuum POS 4 I buy the previous 4870 model -lrb- in blue -rrb- about a year ago . unless they fix the follow issue , I would recommend do a little more research before buy this model . everything be fine until wife and I start notice the attachment end of hose start to have a tear along the first and second spring crease on hose end . fix by duct tape it far up the hose to prevent more tear , but now wife want another vacuum . I be ok with it as long as it work . the other complaint be that the small t-attachment that go above the cord storage area keep fall off and very difficult to snap in place . +488 Vacuum POS 4 have own it for several week now , so far so good . I be hear little thing get pick up that I have never hear before , and we vacuum somewhat regularly -lrb- at least 1-2x per week -rrb- . do not stink or smell like dust so the description of it be a good one for allergy seem to hold up . overall , a good buy for under $ 120 through amazon.com Retail price be closer to $ 200 , but then again , no store carry it within 30mus of we location . +386 Vacuum POS 5 overall this do the trick for I . I use it solely to keep my new car clean . I use it once a week and so far no problem . seem to be do a good job . +528 Vacuum NEG 2 I love this little vac . it have excellent suction power , and the pet hair attachment really work ! nice ergonomic shape and weight . however , the battery life be poor . the other reviewer be not joke or exaggerate ! it run great for about 5-10 minute and then give out . it then have to be charge for half a day to bring it back to life . this be ridiculous . it would be well worth the price if it run for a reasonable period of time , but the battery be a major issue , and therefore I recommend that people who be consider it to look elsewhere . +147 Vacuum NEU 3 this be my very first review so bear with I . I buy this vacuume about 6 month ago and at first i be happy . it do a good job of pick up dirt . however , if you have a dog that shed alot you might want to invest in something else . the dirt cup do fill up fast which be a good thing . its work ! BUT , you will find that the secondary filter will clogg up fast and clean they be a hassle . I will go back to bag upright . for a home without pet , this a be a good vacuume . +459 Vacuum POS 4 this be a decent vacuum for what it be . certainly it be not as effective as haul you household vacuum to the curb , but it be certainly more convenient . and that be they key here , at least for I . I just get a new car and dismayed by all the debris quickly pile up . this be a sleek little machine that vacuum up enough stuff to make my car much neater look . it do have a super long cord -lrb- I could easily vacuum my whole Honda pilot -rrb- but it can actually get in the way sometime . it seem to have decent suction and I have better luck when I attach the little brush . have not try the tube yet . all in all , I really like this for it be convenience factor . one note - at least with my car , I have to turn my car on - not the engine , but enough so that the radio and charger would work . I be not expect that and initially think I have receive a defective model . +387 Vacuum NEG 2 I can tell you one thing , it certainly do suck ! Ours last no longer than 6 month before we give up on it and throw it out . only a week or so after purchase this vacuum , it start make a awful buzz sound that would not go away regardless of how many time you clean it or remove debris from the head . most of the time it seem like it be just blow dirt around rather than suck it up . the front of the vacuum be constantly cover in dust and vacuum cleaner powder . +876 Vacuum POS 5 this product be great . it be smaller than one would anticipate , but it have a excellent size to carry around the house or to use in the car . it have good suction and it last long enough to do the job . +637 Vacuum POS 4 the vacuum do exactly what I want it to do . it be portable , and the hose feature be perfect for I . however , the vacuum be a bit noisey . other than the noise , I really like the product a lot . I would recommend it to anyone that be not concern about the noise . +332 Vacuum NEG 2 the one thing I dont understand be how come miele , know for its light and quiet yet powerful vacuum , come up with this unfunctional thing . very heavy , not easy to glide from floor to carpet . suction power be just ok . and it be 400 something dollar . I have own many vacuum -lrb- cheap and expensive -rrb- and this one have be very disappointing . if you be look for something powerful yet not as heavy take a look at Miele 's s5 or s4 line but definitely dont buy this without try it . +123 Vacuum NEU 3 pro 's great suction con 's Too heavy . difficult to use in tight space . clean tool do not fit on extentsion rod . if you stop and put the vacuum into the upright position while vacuum carpet you need to bend over each time you resume vacuum and turn the knob to carpet . the default be bare floor ! hello , this be a vacuum , that be use on carpet , the default should go to carpet . when I call to complain , they say it be design that way to save the belt ! if I have use this product before I purchase it , I would not have buy it . +91 Vacuum POS 4 most convenient aspect be the portability of this vacuum cleaner . store easily in trunk and plug into 12v outlet of car . it do a adequate job of clean seat , around dashboard and floor mat . good value . +402 Vacuum POS 5 I put myself outta of a job . I never have to vacuum again . open the box , charge it up , set the timer , empty the dirt tray every other day & that be it . interesting to see when something fail , but it have not in the last 4 month of ownership . Worth the money . save time . +957 Vacuum POS 5 I like it so far . it beat the older cleanview that I replace by the 82h1 . I notice the airflow be a lot stronger and it seem to separate out dust faster , before it reach the filter . I have yet to wash the lower filter after about 1 month of use , but it be get close to the time . empty the main dust catch be easy . it be not a super light vac , not heavy either , but it be probably nothing most folk will use on stair . if you be look for a good house vac for carpet and smooth floor and do not want to pay a fortune for a inter-galactic vac , I recommend this one with the proviso that I have only have it for a month so I can not attest to it be durability . however , my previous , similar Bissell last about 10 yr and still work fine , but the catch that make it stand upright on its own fail probably because the vac drop back onto its handle too many time . fall backwards be easy to make happen on any upright when use the hose and not hold the vac or someone tripping on the electric cord . my 5 star rating be base on my consideration of price and performance . the only thing that I notice which do not seem to be a problem be that the main dust catch do not seal on its top against the gasket as tightly as my old Bissell . I test it with the vac turn on and it be not a problem and be draw tight against the gasket when the vac be run . when the vac be off , it will wiggle if shake by hand , but not much . I doubt this be a problem . I notice stuff like this because I use to be a machinist . +794 Vacuum POS 5 I buy this vacuum a few month ago . first time I use it I be in love ! I hold off post a review due to the post traumatic stress I suffer from the Dyson Stow away I have be use not to mention year of other crappy vacuum . Anyhoo ... I finally decide it be time and I be hope this review do not jinx my great experience so far . my whole family ooooh and ahhhhh at how quiet it run even on the highest suction . I can talk on the phone and vacuum at the same time . never think that be possible !!! this thing suck debris in the rug and carpet I do not know exist . the majority of my house be hard flooring due to all of we allergy , but the one room upstairs be Berber carpet . the vacuum work great on both . I live in rural Alaska on a dirt and gravel road . my kid and dog track in gravel , dirt -lrb- usually in the form of mud -rrb- , grass in the summer , god know what type of pollen , pet hair , and more gravel . the vacuum have no problem suck gravel , dirt and debris out of my WaterHog Doormats . nothing have ever be able to get these clean short of hose they off outside . not possible to do in the winter . as for my allergy to dust , pet hair , and pollen , I no longer sneeze , cough , and have a runny nose or sinus pain when the vacuum be run . in fact , I feel better when the vacuuming have be do , since there be then less debris and allergen around the house . they be not just kick up and move around the house , they be go and in the vacuum . what a novel idea !!! I have never ever recommend any vacuum . I think they be all a pain , do not work well , or would break quickly . I have be vacuum for 35 year of my life and I have average a new vacuum every other year at the least . I can see this vacuum be build to last . the quality be amazing . it be user friendly and move well . the wheels\/casters actually move sideways , forward , backward and can move diagonally and with ease . the handle be comfortable and the part that be make from plastic seem to be make from a higher quality than I have find on Walmart and Sears vacuum . I think it would take a act of god to break it . the stick be easily adjustable so I can use it comfortably or my husband . -lrb- I be 5 ' 3 '' and he be 6 ' 3 '' . it can also be remove so you can attach the handle directly to the power head brush for do stair . very convenient ! I also purchase the extra long crevice tool , the car kit , and the 10 foot hose . I would recommend those as well . the 10 ' hose be not a electric hose like the one that come with this vacuum , however it work with the bare floor brush and other attachment just fine . it will not work with the power brush that come with this vacuum . I hope to have this vacuum a good long time . it be spendy , however , if I total up how much I have spend on vacuum over the year , this will be less expensive if it just last I 5-6 year . think of it as a investment if you be consider this model or another Miele . November 5 , 2011 -lrb- update -rrb- it be be a few month now and everything I write above still apply . it be work great ! I have no regret so far with choose to purchase this vacuum . I have notice that even when the bag be mostly full , it do not seem to lose any suction . I have use many other bagged canister vacuum and when they start to get full , the suction seem to not be as strong . I still recommend the purchase of this vacuum and I still give it 5 star . +954 Vacuum POS 5 best vacuum I have ever own , , , , would buy again in a heart beat , it be yellow but who care really lol , and for this price glad I do +572 Vacuum NEG 1 okay I pay $ 60 for this po for it to keep a full charge only for about 5 minute . the packaging say `` 70 % more suction '' but it only last for a couple minute . & once you first get it you have to charge it for 21 hour . I would rather have purchase a mini vac with a cord if I know it be go to be such a hassle . there be no way you can clean you house with this . you would be vac-cumming , recharge , vac-cumming , recharge for day . im go to return this tomorrow to the store I purchase it from . complete waste of time & money . I guess I should have read the review on it before I buy it . my mistake . +260 Vacuum POS 5 this vacuum be amazing . I have a old dog and a St. Bernard-Great Pyrenees dog who give it a challenge . it be really thorough and you can program it to clean multiple day out of the week . be aware that the schedule cleaning will be interrupt if you be not there to clean the hair out of the brush -lrb- to be expect since it be a pet vacuum -rrb- . my best advice be to run it every day to keep the hair build up low and less frequent cleaning of the brush . Cleaning be really a breeze consider all that this machine will do . it have be a god-send since we double we living space and I go back to full-time college -lrb- less time to clean -rrb- . +83 Vacuum POS 4 the vacuum literally arrive one day after I purchase it on line . not as good as the vacuum I have previously , but then again that vacuum be three time the price . this be a very solid vacuum . +426 Vacuum POS 4 Have have this vacuum for about 2 month after study the review both on here and another consumer site it perform as review . vacuum be heavy but it do clean very well , include pick up dog\/cat hair . +304 Vacuum POS 5 I receive this Eureka Vacuum by Fedex yesterday afternoon 11\/10\/09 . I run this vacuum and find it be more powerful than Hoover , Dyson , Electroux and other brand . I be happy that it do pick up lot of dirt from my carpet than my old vacuum cleaner Electrolux that leave behind . this Eureka really do the job easy and do pick up cat hair , wow ! my parent use have a old Eureka back in the old day in the 30 's until 1971 . I be not satisfy with first three Electrolux which do quit and burn out before and after ten year of use . I do try out other Vacuum cleaner that I do not like . I do try out the Eureka last thing to try it and like the way it do the job . then I bring it . I be happy that go back to the old day like the same eureka do the job and now it be even more powerful than other vacuum on the market . try one on any Eureka vacuum model and you will like it very much as I do . brownbat +791 Vacuum NEG 1 I buy one of these as a gift for my mother who have be use a B&D; CFV1200 for 8 year without any problem -lrb- even the battery still hold a charge for a 10 minute vacuum -rrb- . anyway , I think the psv1800 would be a leap forward in technology , efficiency and usefulness . possibly it be if it work . the one I purchase have two problem right out-of-the-box : 1 . the on\/off switch do not work at all , it do not even budge ; 2 . the charger base led -lrb- and possibly the charger -rrb- do not work . on another note who know , since the unit can not be switch on . of course , the typical run around with B&D; . it use to be that american company be superior to other . the product be also better . B&D; be definitely a american icon or use to be . how can a company pack a vacuum cleaner without check to see if it work ?! they do put a plastic block device on the switch so it would not switch on accidentally but then how could it if the switch do not even budge ? anyway , on a positive note : Amazon.com do try to help but in this specific case could not . so I be drop Black & Decker from my list of Favs and be push Amazon.com up by another notch . thank goodness there still be good american company in the age when Chevy 's be make off-shore ! +410 Vacuum POS 4 I receive Black & Decker pav1200w 12-volt Cyclonic-Action Automotive Pivoting-Nose Handheld Vacuum Cleaner in very good condition , it be work well , but upholstery brush which suppose to be include be not in the package . package be not break or damage , may be seller forget to put it inside . I try to contact with customer service . they send I e-mail with apology , they will check in they stock of the vacuum and see if they have this brush in they kit . they will send I a brush if they do , also they promise contact with I later but they do not ! I do not send this vacuum back because we need it and already start to use it . hopefully I will recieve miss brush , otherwise this be a good item ! +425 Vacuum POS 5 I buy this vacuum to replace my aging oreck auto XL vacuum . the black and decker have comparable suction but it be much more versatile due to the adjustable neck and extender crevice tool . it come with lot of accessory , but I find that I do not even need to use any of they when I give my car the once over . I could not be happier , oh , and it be worth more than the $ 40 buck I spend on it . please note , it may take a few pass over a spot to get everything , but it meet my expectation for a 12 volt vacuum . : - -rrb- +564 Vacuum POS 5 this item be just as describe . it be the best working vacuum I have own . do not realize what bad shape my carpet be be until I receive this vacuum . it be like have new carpet it work so well . it be so easy to use a child could use it and we all know how they love to help with thing such as this . it be light weight you can easily carry up stair . I highly recommend this item for anyone , as in all product Amazon provide this be another great one . +130 Vacuum POS 4 I just buy several of these small , light vacuum for we community art center , and so far , we love they . they be light , and seem to have enough suction to do the job . I also like the reusable bag . what I do not know yet be how well they will hold up over time , and that be important to we -- use to be a Electrolux fan , but over the decade , the machine have be make of cheaper material , and they break down and need to be repair way too often for the cost ; thus , we be switch to this Hoover model to try something new . the one thing that I would add to the current design to improv it be some way to keep all the attachment with the machine itself while you be vacuum . otherwise , so far , so good ! +28 Vacuum POS 4 purchase to do minor cleanup on my model train layout . previously have a battery operate similiar product about same size . this do the same job without the battery expense . I try the keyboard cleaning and yes it do make that chore a lot easier . with the brush attachment it dislodge the dirt between the key to be suck up by the vacuum . then try the dust that accumulate around the monitor screen edge and corner which also woke well . good for crumb and other food item spill on yout desk also . a good value for minor cleanup . +379 Vacuum POS 5 this vacuum be perfect - strong suction , great portability , bag less and hepa filter make it a snap for regular use . I absolutely love it and be very pleased with its performance . +306 Vacuum POS 5 this product work as describe its function . buy it ... I have never hesitate to make this purchase . I highly recommend it if you have a vehicle to keep it clean . +987 Vacuum POS 5 this product be a wonderful solution to the problem i have before . I be on a business visit to the US and be skepticle of buy any electronic stuff for the very fact that the power rating of India and US be different . I make a very conscious decision of buy this product as it get plug into the car charger socket . once i come back to India , once i start use this product , i couldnt stop myself from say ` WOW ' ! . I then realize what a important and a amazing equipment i have gifted myself with . sucktion power be super . the areas\/corners of the car which the vac can access to get rid of the dust be phenominal . I have not use any of its attachment coz ' i never want to . the default one be more than enough for the basic cleaning or for my purpose . or i should say , i have use one one attachment i.e. brush one , to scrap off the mud one the carpet . also , its not at all complecate to get rid of the collect dust . just a button press and the lid open to pore off the collect dust . I recommend this product for its compactness , sucktion power , length of the cord and its ease of usage . please dont worry about the price . its less only . but every penny be worth spending on this little genius . well do ` black and decor ' ... ! +166 Vacuum POS 5 I want a vacuum cleaner without a bag , that be able to clean my chair and sofa and have good suction power . this upright vac have it and more and at at a surprisingly low price . with its see-through design there be no guess when to clean the filter or empty the dust collector . I be very pleased with it . +527 Vacuum NEG 1 not the easiest design to clean ... but do not really matter becuase it have not work since we clean it . I be positive it be put back together correctly . just do not have suction now . cheap . +406 Vacuum POS 4 I be not impress when I start to assemble the vacuum , it seem a little flimsy , light plastic cover and the filter fall out at first . I be more impressed with the power and suction once I assemble and use it . this be a nice vacuum and do a good job cleaning . I have not use the attachment yet . I would buy this product again , it do the job and the price be very good . I have a commercial type Hoover prior to this purchase , I be use to good cleaning from a vacuum , this do not disappoint . +359 Vacuum NEU 3 just think I would let you know the vacuum be worth $ 200.00 do not pay any more then that , it be make in the U.S.A. which be its strongest selling point . the second be that it really suck and work great , but there be absolutely , no extra or any whistle as per say , so if you just need a good vacuum cleaner , this be it . remember you can purchase it easy for $ 200. , on line , this be a commercial vacuum cleaner , so do not pay any more then $ 200. , this be a super light and easy vacuum cleaner , but it be all plastic and light . some people say it be loud , it be but it work good , maybe even great . +38 Vacuum POS 5 as the owner of two cat who love to lounge on the furniture , this vacuum be a must have . if the only thing it do be remove pet hair from upholstered furniture it would be amazing . I use the rubber attachment , run it back and forth over the furniture and voilum ! hair go . it also work great on the stair , so much easier than drag out the big vacuum . it be always ready to go , no cord to bother with and I have no idea how long a charge last , but it still have plenty of power leave after vacuum three room of furniture and two staircase . probably my best purchase all year . PS : I be editing this review because I just finish read some of the other review and do not understand about the complaint of short run time . we do as the instruction say -lrb- 5 time , etc -rrb- and it will last a good 20 minute or so . do I get a different battery ??? seem strange !! it have never run down before I finish . and yes , you do have to clean the filter , but that be require with any vac . +492 Vacuum NEG 2 we have have the sweeper out of the box for about 10 day . we have use it quite a bit and enjoy it even though it be a very heavy sweeper . we have replace the bag already due to all of the dust it pick up . we be in the middle of ` spring cleaning ' we 3rd room last night and when I check on the bag , the front handle break . I seem to go back together , but it come back off . not even a hour later , the tilt-relase lever break . I think it too just come unsnapped , but after fall off 3-4 time , I realize that it have break off too . the piece that break be part of the base and not cheaply\/easily replace . needless to say , it 'll be back in the box and back to the store shortly . now we be think about a Dyson , but can not afford it right now . we previous Dirt Devil last we about 12 year . the previous Eureka before that only last about 4 . I also do not like the tube design on the new Eureka . I find out my Dirt Devil tube that be easier to use fit the new Eureka . +799 Vacuum POS 4 buy it to replace my three yr old Kenmore basic vacuum . cleans good with good suction power near the edge , good suction , also hand tool be great ! disposal be a bit tricky as you have to clean the cup , then a upper section that come apart on top of the cup and a lower section where one of the hepa filter be house , so it take more time than my kenmore use to . overall I be happy with it . +765 Vacuum NEG 1 I buy the Eureka 4870mz Boss Smart-vac 3\/19\/09 . it be now 7\/25\/09 , and the vacuum be already fall apart . the vacuum be a okay one , but I accept it be shortcoming , because it be cheap enough . it vacuum pretty well across several different floor surface -lrb- carpet , tile , laminate -rrb- , but it be heavy , generate a lot of heat , attachment would fall off all the time , and switching between bare floor and carpet and between hose and floor be unnecessarily cumbersome . as I say I be willing to live with this , because of the price . my previous vacuum have be a $ 400 Dyson which be a nightmare , and I vow never to spend that much on a vacuum again . but now , here I be , just over four month later , and the Eureka be no longer usuable . first , the cheap plastic wheel be fall off . second , the switch that you turn to change from floor to hose no longer work properly , so that now I can not use anything but the hose . basically what I have now be a really expensive dust Buster . my floor be filthy and I can not vacuum . other review have make reference to the cheap quality of this vacuum , and it fall apart after a few month . I should have listen . if you value you money , I would not recommend this vacuum . +297 Vacuum NEG 2 I have have this vacuum for 9 month now . the roller brush stop so I put a new belt on that come with the vacuum . it work for one day before it break again . vacuum repair guy say it need a new roller brush and be go to cost I $ 75 to repair . that be half of what it cost in the first place . four year ago , I buy a 12 amp Dirt Devil very basic vacuum for $ 30 -lrb- because I have mostly tile -rrb- . it be still run great , just think I need a more powerful vacuum ... I think wrong . bigger be not always better ... oh yeah , my mom also have a Eureka vacuum a little older than mine - totally different model and guess what ? same thing happen to she vacuum cleaner ! so now I be face with do I fix or do I buy another ? if I do decide to buy another , it will not be a Eureka . +238 Vacuum NEU 3 run with paper waste collection bag instead of the provide cloth bag make the unit very weak on suction . I would recommend a small square shop vac instead . such as ridgid 4.5 Gallon my Hoover arrive miss the follow part : 1 . bag 2 . belt to hold bag to bag support tube 3 . bag support tube the instruction be so poor , you might never figure out you be miss these thing and start use it without the paper bag . +215 Vacuum NEG 1 ok - I do not know why people give this a good review b\/c it be a piece of junk ! I have have it for 6 week and be away for 2 of those week and it be already break !! I be able to have it repair but the repair guy cut I a deal b\/c apparently the broken part be not even part of the warranty . convenient for Bissell . yeah , we give you a warranty but bummer for you if it actually break . not only that , but when I call customer service to let they know about the broken vacuum cleaner , they be totally rude . I mean , you would think that they would be apologetic that they product break so quickly . also , clean the filter be very difficult and have to be do every 5 minute . this vacuum cleaner do not suck enough ! +870 Vacuum NEU 3 5-15-12 -- everything be great about the B&D; PSV1800 cordless vac , except that empty the dirt be a allergy sufferer 's nightmare . the dust cup be not removable so I have to get right into it and remove two filter before I can get the dirt out , then I use a hand vac to get the rest of the dirt out , then wash the dirt out of the filter , then wait for they to dry before I can use the vac again . other than that I like the suction power which last for my whole job , the ease of get into corner , and the ability to turn the brush off and on as need . I pay $ 79 on Amazon and my neighbor get one at the local ace for $ 49 . I be look for one with b&d; power and a removable dust cup and minimal contact with dust-bearing part . +342 Vacuum POS 5 I own my own cleaning business and this vacuum be a time saver on stair and hardwood floor . any high pill carpet though I have to use another vacuum for . light weight and great . +680 Vacuum POS 5 I do not know what I do without it ? oh yeah , I do ; I have a dirty floor that I try to clean constantly . I have 3 dog . between they and my long blonde hair and dust -lrb- live in the middle of farm country -rrb- , clean my floor be something I do more than once a day . this be a big time saver . love come home to a clean floor . +256 Vacuum NEG 1 we buy this vacuum because it come with a warranty . when it break we take it to a authorized service center who say that either the fan or the roller be break , and neither would be cover under the warranty . we then call the customer Service line , and we be tell that the two-year warranty have expire . and , in fact , we do buy the vacuum 26 month ago . so it seem that -lrb- 1 -rrb- if it have be within the warranty period repair would not have be cover , and -lrb- 2 -rrb- the vacuum be such poor quality that it break almost immediately after the warranty expire . be this a joke ? +124 Vacuum POS 5 for the price , this Eureka be excellent . very easy to put together and very easy to use . it clean great and the attachment work great in tough to reach area . this vacume work as well as some cost hundred of dollar more . it be construct well and well worth the price . this be a no brainer - you should get it ! diff --git a/test/Video_Games.txt b/test/Video_Games.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..cd155506eff95549ecf207046c10a23da3e0e281 --- /dev/null +++ b/test/Video_Games.txt @@ -0,0 +1,200 @@ +316 Video_Games POS 5 this game be really funny .

Nuff say +69 Video_Games POS 4 we buy this game for my 4 year old and she love it . we have have it for almost 6 month now and it be still she favorite game . she have play it and finish it almost 5 time now . she have many computer game and like to visit site on the web that have children game but prefer this to any other . the only reason I do not give it 5 star be because she call I to help she with several of the harder part of the game -lrb- throw flower on the lilly pad , and catch flower for Twila -rrb- . I cant tell you how many time I have have to do these , but they only take 5 minute and then she be back to happily play the game . still , its enough of a irritation for I ... so I can only give the game 4 star . +722 Video_Games NEU 3 Start the Party be essentially a mini-game package design to be `` family friendly '' for the Playstation move . the game can be play with up to four player at once , but it should be note that you can only use one move controller ... you have to pass it along from person to person as they turn come up . if you have play the demo -lrb- available for free on the PlayStation Store -rrb- you have pretty much see what Start the Party be . it be almost like a game show format where you compete in mini-game -lrb- small game last around one to two minute each -rrb- . each round let each `` contestant '' have a turn at the mini-game , and the best score\/time win . win award you `` star '' , and the player with the most star at the end of all the round be the winner . you be able to select how many `` round '' you want the game to last from a few pre-determined option at the beginning of the game . you start off with each player have they picture take and create a voice recording of they name , so you know whose turn it be . then it be off to the race . the game start , and you have the option to have the game teach you how to play it , or dive right in . the tutorial be pretty basic and pretty fast , so it do not feel like it drag thing down too much if people be not acquaint with the game . some game seem pretty straight-forward , other may take a time or two to get they down , but most be easy enough to understand . between the game , you 'll get a few `` Bonus Round '' opportunity , where you may do something silly like draw all over another player 's picture or create a silly voice recording of another player 's name -lrb- my son like to name I `` senor stinkypants '' -rrb- as a way to taunt you rival . however , some game let you compete one-on-one with a opponent of you choice in a attempt to steal star -lrb- but be careful who you pick , because if you lose , they 'll end up with yours ! -rrb- . the move do a pretty good job of manage motion with Start the Party ... there be still time where it feel a bit `` off '' , but it be overall pretty good . the only move game I have play that feel more accurate than Start the Party be Sports Champions . if you be look to show off how well the move work , this be a great choice ! I will say that I buy this game mostly so that I would have a move game to play with my young son . at 3 , he still need help with most of the game , but he have fun with it when we play . if it be not for he , I would probably have trade this game in for credit . it be fun the first few time , but it be lose it be luster , and not frequently request at we home . if you be look for a fun game to play with young kid , this be a good choice . definitely not make for the `` hardcore '' gamer by any means . merit a 3 star rating . +593 Video_Games POS 5 ok , we all know how ! awesome ! this system be ! its a mp3 player , mini movie player , game system , photo holder , its all anybody could ever want ! its look be sleek , smooth , and H.O.T. !!! the screen be better than anything , its get about 16.77 million color , the display be amazing . sure , its a `` handheld '' device , but really , its much , much more ! it be truly a all in one entertainment system that can fit in the palm of you hand . oh yea ! i forget , it can also surf the internet ! but here be the one problem , it be way expensive . i buy the system core , a memmory card -lrb- recomended 2gb -rrb- the playgear protect pocket -lrb- a must have to keep you psp safe -rrb- a car charger -lrb- for raod trip -rrb- a battery charger , one game -lrb- socom -rrb- , the Wifi connector -lrb- to use the internet , not a must have , but awesome if you have one -rrb- and it come to the amount of about $ 350 dollaar , that be ALOT ! but really , in the end , it be worth it . +813 Video_Games POS 5 I have always use a Windows computer but last year switch to a Mac because I be feed up with the freezing and nonsense that a Windows put its user through . have play the Roller Coaster Tycoon series throughout the year , I realize that I would not be able to play it anymore because I have a Mac now ... until I stumble across this product . I read some of the review and notice most user complain of freezing and other stuff , so be reluctant to buy it see that it be $ 40 . after skim through and find several reviewer state that they turn off the `` shadow '' effect and the problem cease , I decide to purchase the game . since receive it , I have have no problem whatsoever with the product . I immediately turn off the shadow and everything have work perfectly . +325 Video_Games POS 5 this be a good investment . both my 5 and 3 year old boy love it . anyone can do it . mom and dad have fun dancing too . +984 Video_Games NEU 3 it be a decent game but it be not on the same level as past Nancy Drew game . any Nancy Drew player be use to have to work hard to get clue . often time there be puzzle upon puzzle . that be not the case this time or at least it seem that way to I . I will say that I do recently replay the last train to Blue Moon Canyon and so I can not help compare trail of the Twister to that game . sadly trail of the Twister be no where near as complex . for people who have never play Nancy Drew game this one would be a good one to start out with but if you have be play these game for year then expect to be a little disappointed . +109 Video_Games POS 4 the maker of this game go about it a little differently on this one , therefore make for a less predictable and more enjoyable game experience . there be still some repetitive task you must complete to finish the game , but the add element make it feel not so bad . I be gonna give this one a huge thumb up . definitely worth the play for fan of this genre . the end be kinda weird , but kool still . +634 Video_Games POS 5 great game . graphic : the graphic have greatly improve since the original Halo . the bump-mapping have do a great deal for the game . throw a plasma grenade on the ground and watch the lighting effect . 10\/10 SOUND : I love the sound in this game , great music , and great sound effect . my only complaint be that the warthog sound less `` scary '' and the smg sound more like fully-auto cap gun instead of real gun . but other than that the sound be great . 9.7 \/ 10 gameplay : fun ! I love the new addition of dual weilding . I also like the way that you can board and enemy vehicle . these be just a couple of the many thing that have greatly add to the already fun gameplay of HALO . 10\/10 story -lrb- no spoiler -rrb- : good story . there have be many complaint about the end ... but I think the story be very immersive . I love it . although the end be slightly dissapointing . 9.8 \/ 10 MULTIPLAYER : in Halo this be one of the main attraction . in Halo 2 multiplayer could have make a game . its incredibly fun and addicting . now with the new addition of live you can play with new or old friend while on completely different continent . Multiplayer be what help make this game what it be ... a great game . 10\/10 VALUE : Definatly a game that will keep you occupy for year . 10\/10 OVERALL : Halo 2 leave I completely breathless ... well , it leave I with enough breath to say `` damn ! '' score :9.9 +573 Video_Games NEU 3 ok to start off with the adventure mode be really fun . for those who be new at chess , it teach not only the basics , but also some tip and trick that will help with you game . the story be a bit lame , but who buy a chess program for a good storyline ? the main chess program itself be strong , but not even close to be the strongest . among computer program it get trash even by the free crafty chess engine ; though admittedly not much of a concern unless you be rate over 2000 . I find the interface a bit clumsy , and it force full screen mode even if you just want to play a game of chess . user of unsupported graphic card could be in for a headache ; anything post year 2000 from nvidium or atus should be clear sailing though . overall it be a good program for those who want to get they foot wet in chess , but for experienced player who want to improve they game this would not be my first recommendation . my favorite be Fritz Grandmaster Challenge II ; for the same price you get the powerful Fritz 7 engine , and the very useful chessbase game database software , though that program have a severe problem with the Fritz 7 engine where it will not let you change back to it without a very technical workaround . of course the venerable Chessmaster series will also provide a excellent alternative . another advantage of both be that you can use literally hundred of different engine for they ; Chessbase support UCI and chessbase engine while Chessmaster support Winboard engine . the adventure mode be a unique way to teach the game of chess to newcomer . but one have to consider for the club player , Majestic Chess do not offer any kind of game database , game analysis and annotation , which both of the alternative offer -lrb- though fritz own in this regard -rrb- . that say if you do buy Majestic Chess for the fun adventure mode , scid + winboard + engine or arena + engine be free , and offer all those more advanced feature except pre-installed weaker personality that give you a better chance of win , which be where Majestic Chess come in . +183 Video_Games POS 5 the puzzle piece you have to collect can be somewhat challenge to get to . the time manipulation be very unique and fun . the story be strange and dark , but interesting . the only thing I do not like be the game be a bit short and the optional star you can collect be extremely annoying . there be a star that require you to stand there for hour wait on something , literally do nothing . and if you minimize the game it take 10x longer . and if you wait too long the thing you be wait on disappear . another star can not be collect if you do something already , and it can not be undo . so you need to restart the game if you miss it . +552 Video_Games POS 4 this do not have tennis and I really want tennis . other than that , it be fine . the bowling be boring but the volleyball be fun . I love the Kinect . +716 Video_Games POS 4 this game be fun . it be certainly not a great game but it be a fun game for a 10 or so hour ride to get a platinum trophy . the No fear of Heights trophy be a pain in the ass and take I around 50 try but I finally get it . I hate trophy that be base on pure luck . it be b.s. however , when you get it you be totally pump with excitement . the gameplay be redundant and I find myself use the same combo for 90 % of the game . later in the game I mostly use the butt\/body bounce to weaken the enenmy then a quick slash to finish off the zombie . the boss be not difficult at all but this game go beyond the three time boss fight to win . one boss -lrb- Zed , I think -rrb- take like five time to hurt , then another four of 5 time to finish . Sheesh , that be aggravate . this game be rate mature 17 for a reason ... definitely not for kid -lrb- even though they probably already hear it all -rrb- . there be lot of sexual innuendo and Juliet be quite provocatively dress ... especially if you upgrade all costume -lrb- seashell bikini -rrb- . there be panty peek the entire game with one trophy be look up Juliet 's skirt . it be not gross or demeaning it be in the realm of a college party movie like Animal House or Porky 's . the game make I laugh out loud at a few point with the silly college humor . I would rate this game around a 7 or so because it be fun . it take at least two play through -lrb- or chapter select -rrb- to platinum . I have to do it a few more time because when gather up trophy and collectible after the initial play through , I should have play on rank mode . I do not figure that out till the second play through so I have to do all the rank chapter again . my bad . you live and you learn . in my opinion this be certainly not a $ 60 game . I would be a little peeved if i payed over $ 30 . I do , but then sell it and it wind out cost I around $ 11 . perfect !!! the game be break up with minus game which be just fill but mostly still enjoyable . during gameplay , try to be sure and hit all the correct button in the qte for collectible wrapper and extra gold coin . it be need for some trophy . one other trophy which at first be a pain be go medal racer . it be not that hard once you figure out a plan . when it come to the part that split left and right I stop , line up with the coin on the lower level right and bam ... one try get everything safely and avoid the fall building . after many try it be simple once I figure that part out . I be pretty sure you will enjoy this if you arent expect a top notch game like uncharted . it be light hearted , college fun that occupy you time for 10 + hour . Story be ok even though I really do not pay much attention . there be 6 chapter plus a prologue . there be no save besides auto save . in rank mode you must complete the entire chapter without get kill or you need to start from the beginning of the chapter . use you health -lrb- lollipop -rrb- and sparkle wisely and sparingly . I do not recommend start rank mode until you be comfortable with the controls\/game for this reason . you will be really upset if you get 43 minute in and then die . yes you will have to start all over . that sux . you need to learn combo for maximum point to beat Dad 's score in rank mode . it be not that hard once you get use to the game . I do recommend this game but wait until the price drop or buy it and then flip it on a auction site or here on Amazon . if you be not expect a whole lot you wont be disappoint . the soundtrack be also quite good so enjoy that also . have fun ... +557 Video_Games POS 5 I get this for my dad for Christmas along with the game brain age . he be 51 & be worry about he brain aging . so , this be a natural purchase for he . he really enjoy play it . plus , it be scientifically prove to sharpen you brain , so how can you go wrong ? +385 Video_Games POS 5 Great Game ! +19 Video_Games POS 5 if you like to move this be the game for you . follow the dance move and score big in point and get exercise . +887 Video_Games NEG 2 the game be the original and that be fun , goofy campy , corny fun . but the softaware and the support be horrendous , i try to re-install on my recently purchase computer -lrb- vista home premium -rrb- and could install but not play it +694 Video_Games NEG 2 I have play both Sims 1 and Sims 2 on my pc for year . I be not able to get Sims 3 for my pc because my pc be not up-to-date . when I see that Sims 3 be come to console , I be thrill . I could now play the Sims 3 . I do like be able to go anywhere within the neighborhood without have extremely long load time -lrb- compare to v. 1 & 2 -rrb- . I also like the opportunity that you Sim can take advantage of . I have enjoy play this over the last couple of day . however , today be my first chance to dedicate a decent amount of time to this game . I do have some complaint regard this version game . the book be confuse . you have to keep they in inventory and then select they from inventory in order to read one . there be a glitch here . as soon as you select anything from inventory , a menu pop up but do not have say item -lrb- like a book -rrb- among the choice . you have to cancel by hit you b button and then hit select , the a button , all over again . I can not tell where my Sim be in he or she relationship with someone . there be no number and the bar in the relationship panel look the same for all the Sims . there be also no explanation about what some of the object do like there be for the pc game -lrb- such as which of the kid toy be educational -rrb- . -lrb- Though for I , this be a minor thing . -rrb- I do not realize there be no fireman -lrb- I be lucky enough not to have a fire -rrb- , as I read on another review , but do see there be no way to hire a maid , butler , or nanny . these be all available from day 1 on the Sims for the pc and be even advertise in one of the video for the console game . where be they ? what would happen if my family have kid ? I have only be able to have my Sim do one thing at a time because of the way they have choice set up . also , if I have more than one Sim in the family , there be problem . if , for example , I have Sim # 1 cook a meal , and then I select Sim # 2 and have they workout , Sim # 1 will sometimes stop what he\/she be do . I have even see the unselected Sim wander all around town just to go to the bathroom . be this a problem with sim 3 for the pc ? I do not know as this be my first experience with sim 3 . my biggest complaint seem like the biggest `` glitch . '' after a few hour of game play , there be problem with the neighbor -- all of they . at first I think it be only the neighbor my Sim meet , but then I start a new game and be careful about who they meet , but then I see neighbor my Sim never meet in they own yard `` scream '' because they all need to use the toilet ! neighbor die for unknown reason ! one neighbor be invite over to my Sims house . he raid the fridge and promptly go to bed to sleep . he die before he wake up ! try to have a relationship of any kind with one of the neighbor and you have better make sure to invite they over all the time so they can get they need fulfil . after all , you be just start `` life as a Sim '' and do not have enough karma point to save they all !! I have another Sim who be a romantic . he build a relationship with one neighbor and do not have she over for 2 day while work on another . this `` lady '' die the next day . this game ought to have a lifetime goal of humanitarian because you Sim will be too busy try to keep all he or she friend and neighbor from die to do anything else ... or just let they all die ???? ever since the Sims 2 come out , this game , at least for I , turn into a game of create generation from the first Sim you create . this do not seem possible with the console version of Sims 3 . my biggest concern be how will these problem with the game get solve ? will they get solve ? or have I just blow my money ? in the past with the pc Sims game , patch be available for download . can the same be do for Wii ? +958 Video_Games POS 4 although this expansion add MUCH NEEDED detail , it be not what it could be , especially for the money . although there be a few skill and a cool town to explore ... I be still look for a expansion with weather ! : -lrb- +458 Video_Games POS 5 buy for my 10 year old , he love it and play with it often , but my 6 year old loovvee it , can not get enough . pretty much they only game they play on the ds . +698 Video_Games POS 5 First off , I be a fan of the original series so I be already look forward to be able to enjoy you do not Know Jack again . the Wii version make it easy for up to 4 people to sit back or on the edge of the set and poke fun at eachother for the answer each pick . the game do a great job of have question and answer that lead to awww man moment every game . it be a must have for adult . +142 Video_Games POS 4 not as much fun as a shootem up like the combat flight simulator but you can still have a great deal of fun just try all the different option and fly over all the different location . I have a force feedback joystick which make it even better and it all work very well together . +994 Video_Games POS 5 I be skeptical at first , shell out $ 20 just to go from 480i to 480p , but it totally make a difference , even on a full 1080p tv . we run comparison back to back to back with both cable , and the difference be definitely noticeable . color be truer , far less pixelation , just overall much better . +847 Video_Games NEG 2 there be not much more to it -- it be the ` introductory game ' to the Playstation move equipment . be the game fun to play ? yup . do they get boring very quickly once you figure they out ? yup . ... which be why you can buy this use or online for under 10 buck . I actually enjoy bocce more than any other game , to my surprise ... while ping pong be very physical , which be fun . Beach volleyball be too limited to give a ` real ' feeling , and archery take a few round to figure out -- jury 's still out on what I think of it . overall it be a good starter to get you into the move equipment , before you move onto other stuff . +57 Video_Games POS 5 its fast , reliable , and very quick !

I be amaze at how well these work . they be easy to charge , hold a charge for a long time , and never have connection problem . this be much different that the experience I have with 3rd party wireless controller for we ps2 . I think Sony have this figure out . +737 Video_Games POS 5 we first question be what would we do in this game ... that question be answer fairly quickly : try not to get hurt while horseback ride through a canyon with the ground fall away underfoot , while try to catch the back of a train . Woody then take off on the mission to save orphan from a runaway train . Buzz Lightyear give lot of encouragement . then the game go to a short interlude while the toy story character be around a game board while the pig tell the story of the first adventure . he get a lot of encouragement and criticism . this game board be where you start the game after the first time . the graphic be simple but very please . the two player mode be a split screen so two player can go off in they own direction play it which be really useful since the 2yo and 5yo have vastly different idea of what they want to do . one thing they both like though be throw thing at each other , include ball , cow , and alien . in the Toy Box mode , my teenager laugh he head off and have a good time play this game . the first time he laugh outright be when he give a Pharoah hat to a alien who be then walk around like a egyptian . my 15yo also enjoy customize building . it look like you be just wander around but then mining Pete give direction to find gold and then another toy tell you to paint the town . at some point people need a haircut and you can do funny thing to other toy . the reward for complete task be immediate and gratifying . -lrb- the 15yo be disturbingly entertain by the ability to throw alien . -rrb- comic mischief be one of the tag next to the e for everyone rating . yes , my 15 yo do laugh himself silly while he be return the cow to the pen by drop they off a cliff above the pen . there be plenty of comic mischief for everyone . fairly early on , you start to be able to buy car , building , toy people , Zurg 's spaceport , and even , Zurg . in fact , the Toy Box mode seem more about acquire and arrange thing than solve a quest . the game be generous with the coin which be need to buy building and character , open up new challenge . when you buy a building , a work area open up for a minute or so and a crane show up . then the wall come down , the building be in front of you , and you get firework . people offer you job , like mini-game and you have to figure out how to solve they . it be a little disturbing to have game play interrupt by a commercial tell the child thy be now able to make purchase in the store but it do not disturb the child . it be probably a little like cereal commercial in they life , somewhat informative and thing to think about . this be a wonderful game . it entertain everyone from the 2yo and 5yo , to the teenager , to the adult in my household . there be lot of laughter . +501 Video_Games POS 5 if you be look for another boring x-box 360 controller , look somewhere else . if , however , you be look for a controller with a little bit of ` flair ' , and you be a Halo fan , this be what you want to grab . there be really not much that differ this controller from the standard x-box 360 controller , except for look . the functionality be the same , the button and layout be the same , the size be the same . it be the same thing , except it be specifically manufacture with a Halo design . what better way to differentiate between controller ? this stop the whole `` be this my controller '' guess when at a friend 's house , or even in multi-player scenario , since this one controller will always standout . oh , and the bonus avatar be not too shabby either . you know you want it , get out there and get this controller !! +188 Video_Games POS 5 this have to be one of my favorite Nancy Drew game ! its so much fun to play as you explore this empty theater ! you never know what around the bend or who be watch you . you get a eerie feeling play this game , at least I do , and not all the game do that . totally fun and worth it ! +261 Video_Games NEG 1 I buy this headset for my son despite the bad review and regret it . this item work for almost a week and then the sound start cut in and out , now my son say it do not work at all . it be a good price but you will not have a headset after a week or two . do yourself a favor and opt for a better quality item . +611 Video_Games NEG 1 I be just about to open my copy of Dragon 's Dogma , which I have pre-order some week back , when I see news that Capcom admit that this game have on-disc dlc . I know I be take a gamble when pre-order this game , since this be Capcom we be talk about . but since this be a rpg and not a fighting game I think it be worth the risk . well , guess I be wrong . sorry , Capcom . I , as a responsible consumer , refuse to support such unethical business practice . I shall be return my copy to Amazon ASAP . +82 Video_Games POS 5 what I love most about Vice City be its 80 's style , the music , the color , the car be all just a great atmosphere . I still think the graphic hold up well , for 2002 it be amazing . overall , a very fun game , it have beautiful scenery sometimes I just find my self cruise the city at night because the punk light look so nice , a if you a fan of Brian De Palma 's Scarface definately check this out . +184 Video_Games NEG 1 1 . it be incredibley hard to move aroundd . 2 . you cant explore -lrb- you just choose what level you want -rrb- 3 . THEY CANT EVEN jump ! what fun be that ? 4 . it give my computer lot of virus 5 . dont waste yor money on this I save up for it and i regret it 100 % +48 Video_Games POS 5 this game be a long await title , the game start easy but then when you pass it the second time in the middle of world six time it get extremely hard , especially when you use luiguus . +583 Video_Games POS 5 Works very well . no issue with it . seem to work just as well as the cable controller , without cable ! will be order another . +104 Video_Games POS 5 rarely do a video game controller come into the scene and actually stand out . over the year controller design have matter as much as the game themselves - I mean , it be how you control the game anyway , right ? handle the most basic layout of the ne to the often-ridiculed n64 pitchfork controller , gamer have play for hour and hour with these device learn the feel of the controller until they become like a extension of they finger . designer will shape and reshape controller until they have find something that do not stand in the way of you and the game , and this time , I think they nail it : the 2010 Xbox 360 wireless silver special edition . the first thing that jump at you be the color -lrb- or lack thereof -rrb- : silver . it look like steel , not black or white plastic , which automatically make it appear classier . the button be no longer yellow , blue , green and red , but instead replace with a grayscale . a glossy black band wrap the edge of the controller along with the shoulder and trigger button , make the face of the unit pop out visually . the lack of any grommet on the raise portion of the face where the two analog stick and d-pad emerge make it look even more like stainless steel , and give it a impenetrable feel . the weight be heavier than the original model , which make the rumble and shake more explosive . the size and layout remain the same , which be perfect to begin with - Microsoft do not fix what be not break . what wa break on the original , however , be the directional pad . it feel like the designer leave that part until the very end of the design and then be rush to get a finish product , so the one-piece disc that become the d-pad suffer in look and functionality . with that be say , here come the best part of the re-vamped version . the d-pad on the 2010 silver model be a completely new design for all controller . it be actually two piece and it have two mode : recess and pronounce . the recess mode highly resemble the feel of the original d-pad while maintain the responsiveness -lrb- which , by the way , be astounding -rrb- of the new model . my favorite mode though be its pronounced mode , which you get by actually twist the cross on the d-pad and rotate it clockwise . by do this , the circular edge of the d-pad drop down inside the controller opening make the cross pop out , give you better control of up , down , leave and right without accidentally move in the corner of those direction and get something totally different in-game than you be go for . any game that require moderate use of the d-pad will play better with this control feature . it be also chromed-out just like the dashboard button , which just look badass . the thumbstick also feel better , with slightly less resistance which make for smoother movement , and the little nub on the thumb be go . the Start and Select button be darker and gloss over just like the y , b , x , and a button , and as mention earlier the shoulder and trigger button be slick in glossy black . one of my favorite finishing touch on this controller be the engrave on the top of the controller . set inside the glossy black band , you would have to look twice to catch that it do not say `` Microsoft '' anymore , but rather the much more hip `` XBOX 360 '' . everyone know what company make Xbox , so we do not need to see such a brand stamp on the controller that suck we back into reality before we even play the game . I would rather see my controller brand with a 360 logo , because it stand for what you be currently do : play video game , as oppose to the word `` Microsoft '' which be most associate with computer and tech like that . when I hear the company name I think about reality , but when I hear the product name I think about fun game . it be a simple but incredibly strong improvement . the fact that this controller come bundle with a rechargeable battery and a charge cable all for the price of a new game make it a deal that any xbox 360 lover can not pass up . if you do not believe I , take a look at the photo in this album . it be the James Bond of video game controller . +909 Video_Games NEG 1 I have buy the game . I stand in line at Wal-Mart and have a great conversation with the Wal-Mart employee while I wait for the unveiling of the game . I have wait 2 year . then the game come out of the box . I rush home to wait 45 min to the install . it be 12:45 by the time the install be complete . no biggie . I could not wait anymore . I get on the game . I stay up until 4pm that Sunday morning play the game . I be already in the end of the tribal age before I go to bed . I be take my time like drink good wine . I like to at least enjoy the game a bit . I wake up to continue play the rest of the day that afternoon . I be already in the space age before I go to sleep . since then , the space age be just too tedious for I . there be nothing great to it . it be like a math game for kindergartner . I will not lie - it do make I feel like I be great because I finish the game so quick . con : -lrb- 1 -rrb- after 2 year and constant tease with the game , they could not have make the game play just a little harder . I read many review before I decide to make my own . it be true . someone say , `` there be something miss between each stage . '' read the review before mine for the source . this person be correct . you start off as a cell and before you know it , you be in a space ship . by the time you start do very well and want to take over more tribe or civilization , it be already time to go to the next level . a big disappointment . and there be no random factor in it . there be only so many tribe to take out or befriend each time . -lrb- 2 -rrb- I also do not like the fact that you can not add more leg or head or anything to make a stronger , faster , more mobile unit . -lrb- example : a jaw that give +2 bite will over ride the +1 bite no matter how many +1 bite you have . you will only get +2 bite . -rrb- -lrb- 3 -rrb- the end game really suck . it do seem fun at first with the ability to take over million of planet and spread you colony but it be really tedious and boring . it be miss something like point # 4 . -lrb- 4 -rrb- I know it be a lack on my part but I really believe before I buy the game that there be multiplayer ability . I really want to partner with my bro and level up . then I get the game , then really hope for the best that I need to `` get to a certain part '' in order to `` interact '' with my bro . however , this have fail I . ea only copy you creation and randomly put they in other people 's game so if you come across a new race , you will see someone else 's creation which add the random factor into the game . this would have be fine for random aus unit but this game would have rise to the top if it be a multiplayer game or better yet a mmorpg . maybe you have to play offline to level up you own creation then you could upload it to the ea server once you be ready to go for the MMORPG . all lose hope . -lrb- 5 -rrb- I play the game on a normal level . this game could have be much harder . on other game , `` normal '' setting be usually the point where I break into a game to test its limit . instead of `` normal '' it should have have the setting as `` Preschool '' -lrb- 6 -rrb- I do not like the 3 activation and I want to make the statement with everyone else . Rock on guy ! occasionally , I will format my computer because of a suspect virus or Trojan , and the fact that I have to call after 3 time be go to pizzle I off . I should not be worry since I have beat the game anyways . pro : -lrb- 1 -rrb- be a good believer of my faith in evolution , I like the concept of the game . I like the fact you play `` God '' and you have the ability to manipulate the process of what we call `` evolution . '' I could make a huge neck or add wing . I make my people look like bumblebee with yellow and black . everything be black and yellow in my game with a black stripe . I have fun with the design , the concept , and some of the game play . -lrb- 2 -rrb- although there be a lot of people complain about the `` infected software , '' I never have a problem install . I do not do anything else during the install . I leave my computer run and that be it . I be not sure what many be talk about . -lrb- 3 -rrb- I do want to say that I like the DRM idea -lrb- read on first -rrb- . there be so many people upset that be say they be treat like a crook and actually admit to have install on more than 3 pc . the general idea be you can only install one copy on one pc per software title in they term of service -lrb- to -rrb- on most software . people who be break those rule be do the same as steal from store or take credit for someone 's work . since I have say all that , I like the idea because no matter how secure you make something , there be go to be someone dedicate to crack it . I will doubt there will ever be such a thing as a `` uncrackable game . '' per ZDNET , there be a crack version to bypass that anyway . if the uneasy individual be smart , they would sit back and read the news . however , if you do not want to risk that option , well refer back to my con as a protest against it . -lrb- 4 -rrb- finally , expansion to the game be probably go to happen at 49.95 a pop . then they will combine they and force a price tag of 49.95 for the whole set . then it will be all on one dvd in a few year with the full game . we know the store set the price but ea surely recommend a price . I would not waste my money on any future expansion pack . there be nothing they could do to the game to change the crap unless it change the whole AI engine and add much more need scripting . I be glad I do not buy the collector 's edition since Wal-Mart do not have at the time . my recommendation be to wait till the game be $ 10 buck . +376 Video_Games POS 5 yeah that be what make I by this game , that , and how hype up it be before even the 360 be launch . Gears of War be a 3rd person shooter that be far different from any I have ever play before . while it be a shooter , and while you do chop locust be half with chainsaw , the main objective in this game for I be to learn to take cover . that be what make GOW different from all these other shooter , you have to learn to take cover , or , you will die . you main button to use in this game be the a button , you run , roll , dive , and take cover use this one button . yes , it take time to get use to , but once you get it , you get it . the graphic be some of the best 360 have to offer with the best aus ive see in a game . enemy be SMART , they flank you , and if you dont attack when they want you to , they dont wait for you . the suspense be mind bogogling -lrb- yes i dont no how to spell that -rrb- . look up above cover and see this big , locust thing runnin at you with a gun bigger than you body will make you wet . the game be hard , but it never get old . I cant really recall ever get angry at this game , it be just to fun . so if you like shooter and dont have this , its a must have . +162 Video_Games POS 4 well this be a amazing game and this be come from a guy who have never be a fan of rpg\/medieval fantasy game . maybe my interest change and I do not know it ? this be also a reedit review base on the performance issue that have plague the ps3 version almost exclusively . I be 30 hour into the game and I be start to slowly witness more of the issue they talk about and some not talk about . not everyone have suffer the issue on ps3 which be odd because it be most likely due to a structural issue with the ps3 . -lrb- ... -rrb- however , these be unofficial opinion base on someone who work on Fallout : New Vegas , a similar open world game and sequel to Bethesdas Fallout 3 . Skyrim and New Vegas have different game developer , but be both publish by Bethesda . nevertheless , I think the guy be probably correct . if you do not read the article , it basically say that the PS3 only have 256 mb of ram devoted separately to both graphic and memory . why be this important ? answer : xbox 360 -lrb- pc -rrb- have the same amount -lrb- or more for pc -rrb- , 512 mb , but the xbox ram be universal . thus , it can devote more ram towards one or the other base on the game need . as you advance more in the PS3 game , you save file get bigger -lrb- from all the thing you have collect , drop , kill guy , all the stuff you move around throughout the game grow -rrb- while have less ram to work with . this be probably whats cause all the problem , although it be interesting to note that some PS3 user have report no issue . maybe they do not care ? its probably safe to assume that with a game this size , there be numerous factor at work . however , we know there be issue . I be hope I would be one to avoid these but I be start to see more freeze and game glitch as I reach the infamous 6 mb save file of which I be almost there -lrb- this be where a lot of people have start see issue -rrb- . the most outrageous glitch I have have -lrb- and one I have not read other people have -rrb- be when I be fight a dragon and be kill without good reason . during the battle , my body simply shoot upwards in the air and die instantly . I reload and try the battle again and the same thing happen . the Thanksgiving patch also supposedly may make the game worse which they say would do the opposite . honestly , as of right now , I be quite worried . I see another video where either IGN or another company be play the game and it be suffer from frequent lag . I can not take it back to gamestop so I be stick with my version . sadly , I find out after I already buy the game that my friend wife -lrb- who have the same computer as I -rrb- can run the game fine . ouch . I now feel dissapointed at what be once start out a amazing game experience . now , I have to worry about crippling issue down the road . I would have personally be fine -lrb- I be sure many other would to -rrb- to have the game be delay for ps3 and do correctly , if possible . besides all the issue , the game be a blast . no need to go over what you have already hear . its a open world adventure that keep get more interesting as you go along and play at you own speed . but the issue be there . for now , it be not like it freeze every 10 minute , but I be worry about future lag . the game have probably freeze about 4-5 time in the 30 hour span . plus some glitch , occasional short lag in open area , and the before mention super dragon glitch that happen twice . all in all , not enough to ruin it so far . that be say , I hope people take everything I have say into account . I do not mean to focus entirely on the negative aspect , but I think they should be address more thoroughly because everyone know about the awesome gameplay etc. . and you I encourage you to read the article and do as much research as you can before buy this game . you will have to decide you own tolerance for glitch . +824 Video_Games POS 4 my 6 1\/2 yo son love this Harry Potter adventure . he love imaginitive play . and this be really cool ! +809 Video_Games POS 5 the multiplayer be really addictive . my first real foray into multiplayer . the single player feel like a on rail sort of game which kinda stink . I officially go full-on nerd and get a gaming headset for this game . it be so much fun . the update map be terrific . probably my favorite game thus far . ca not recommend this game enough . it be challenging but with some patient and weapon upgrade you 'll unlock the full potential for maximum fun . I love this game . +133 Video_Games POS 4 it be a very good product but it only can be ship within U.S. , so I can not buy it +618 Video_Games POS 5 some of the best star war game in one set . it just need KOTOR 2 and maybe the Lego Star Wars but , a over all good vaule at 40 buck or less . +912 Video_Games POS 4 this system be the best . the game of a ps2 be better than ever . I mean almost all the game on this system be 3-d . this system will go on for generation . so buy it it be the best ! +923 Video_Games POS 5 we buy this as a gift for we grandchild aged 4 and 9 . they both love it . we grandson play all he game stand up , jump , run , etc. , so we think this might be a excellent outlet , and provide a purpose and learn experience to he activity . he love it ! he 9 year old sister also enjoy it and think it be challenging , and now want more game with a mat . they also live where it be cold and snowy , so this be a great energy outlet for shut in . +67 Video_Games POS 4 the picture in this package be fascinating and my 7 year old daughter , who love math , have play this exclusively for the last month . the math be just the right level to provide a doable challenge . it be rather short -lrb- or else we be miss something -rrb- , but my daughter have play it over and over and enjoy as much each time . it do have a level adjustment , but we have not use that yet . -lrb- note : I like this better than Math Blaster 6-7 -rrb- . +860 Video_Games NEU 3 a bit expensive but worth the money in the long run ... it work well and there have be no problem . +219 Video_Games NEG 2 be a very fun game for the 4 year that I have play it , but I find myself in the past two year get bore of the game too quickly . I figure it be burnout , take a break , then come back 6 month later . nope still feel the same . come back this last time , and the community have just become abhorrent to deal with , new player can not get help throughout the barrage of attack in the trade channel . I do almost get to 84 but feel bore of it too fast , the graphic seem bland . -lrb- Trees remind I or origami tree , no texture -rrb- water remind I of melt plastic . massive phase issue -lrb- have miner bot underground in area and steal mining nodes\/herb node -rrb- no police what so ever . deathw seem to be a non existent threat . several friend have quit since this expansion have come out , and I put my account on hold again , while cancel my daughter account . I think they be try to bring in new customer -lrb- per they report they could not get 70 percent of new account to make it past level 10 -rrb- which be great . they do need to bring in new blood . bad thing be that new blood be get rip apart by its own community . maybe it will change , more than likely not . perhaps Blizzard grow too large ? bigger company do not always equal better . I just hope that when they do release Diablo III that it be not mess up , d2 be a tremendous blast to play . +257 Video_Games NEG 1 it control similar to DOA game . just another button mashing game . sure the fan of the xbox will praise it cause this be one of the very very few game that carry the crap system besides Halo . the game 's graphic be ok . nothing spectacular . xbox suck +885 Video_Games POS 4 what I love be the cover system . it be on par with uncharted . and I love that the cover point be often destructible . kind of a challenge . also cover be of all size , and some be less effective than other . if it be a 2 foot tall curb , you will literally lay flat on the ground to get under it . the slide suit ! Bravo ! God that be fun . truly something I have never see before . hell fun zoom around the level . the game be a little short but you can play it over and over , cuz there be a million way to pass a level . the few downside be 1 there be no on-line mode . 1 player only . I think it be a good start for this franchise . and I be glad they do not try to force the on-line mode into the first version , because the gameplay be pretty incredible . I can see how it would be hard to do a multiplayer mode . but for the sequel they should disable `` bullet time '' and let the player zoom around the map . also ... give we a \* jump \* . please . I get so frustrated with game that do not have a jump function . sure you can kind of do a quick double tap to cover , and then climb over a obstacle , but it be not the same as be to jump from say one raise platform to another . it take you out of the fantasy , when you want to do something very intuitive , and then realize the limitation of the simulation . the fact that you sometimes get stick around a 3 foot tall obstacle be kind of the only problem with this game . in term of cover base 3rd person shooter , uncharted be still king . no question . but this definitely have potential . I give it a strong 8.5 \/ 10 +87 Video_Games POS 5 this game be fun for kid 3-8 . it keep they move and it be really easy to play 1 player or with as many child as you have . all you have to do be pass the wiimote to the next player when it be they turn . well worth the money ! +916 Video_Games POS 5 the Wii be the best console for all age . it have game for all , for the kiddie , and elderly it have Wii sport , etc. . for the mature , there be re4 , re : uc , Red Steel , Bwii , Metroid Prime 3 , etc. . so do not let some PS3 fanboy spam the Wii forum with repetitive post -lrb- at a time when GHIII be dominate on the Wii , while the PS3 version just seem to stay on the shelf -rrb- delude you decision with they extremely expensive console ! bottom line , Wii rule , PS3 employee invade the Wii and PS3 forum on amazon to swade people to buy the extremely expensive\/lacking originality PS3 . Wii -rrb- PS3 +888 Video_Games NEU 3 my only complaint be that most fight stance look stupid and retarded include the way the character move forward and backwards , for that reason it make I feel dissapointed and think that I be play a 4 year old game with mature blood and violence level . the same go for deadly alliance thru armagedon include mk vs dc universe -lrb- I can not stand some character like Batman , Wonder Woman , and almost everybody else fight stance -rrb- completely mediocre , do not get I wrong the fighting be entertaining and this game bring all the nostalgia from the first mk game without a doubt but this issue screw the whole experience for I , I be really look forward to this one and I do not want to see this franchise fail , I be follow mk since it first come out in 1992 , back then it be groundbrake ; graphic , sound , in game secret and even a block button but since Ultimate MK 3 this franchise change drastically . compare to Tekken and Street Fighter series they always deliver great animation overall and the same go to only King of fighter 94 and 95 , if the next mk game will not have this issue then it will be flawless . +622 Video_Games POS 5 if you have a clue loving , mystery solve family then this be the game for you ! I play it with my 3 child -lrb- age 11,8,6 -rrb- it make we work together and THINK ! put you deductive reasoning and logic skill to the test with three level to choose from -lrb- rookie to expert -rrb- it be a nice change from the more mindless activity of most video game without fall into a educational game category which send kid run ! +944 Video_Games POS 5 I be a 50 + woman who have always like video game . I can sit for hour and play a ea sim game . that be the problem -- sit for hour . we Wii be new . my arm be very sore from play tennis for the same hour I use to sit nearly motionless with a computer game . this be a good thing for someone my age . finally ! something to do with my retirement when it be rainy and windy and cold and I be stick inside ! I love it . we only have the sport game now but I be go to look into other . anything that be best play stand up and move around ! I have no complaint . I know that the novelty will wear off eventually , but that be true for almost everything in life . we be on the fence about buy this system for a long time -- if you be as well , just do it . you will be glad you do . +956 Video_Games POS 5 how many time I have buy these set seperately I can not say . it be many . now you get get all the infinity engine game in one shot for 20 buck . Hope it all work right technically with you os . it be the only thing I would be wary of . the game be legendary and need no review , Biowares entire reputation be root in its achievement with the infinity engine and Baldur 's gate 2 : shadow of Amn specifically . they have go on to build some pretty powerful franchise but Baldur 's gate 2 have no equal -lrb- or successor -rrb- in gaming . it be the Mona Lisa , of PCRPG 's and that that . unlike the NWN set , this set be `` complete '' but you still will have to mod the game to get the most out of they . I would never play these straight out of the box anymore . perhaps Bioware get too much credit and the modding community deserve a little bit more , for the spit and polish at least . +270 Video_Games POS 4 great game for history gamer . the control be easy to adapt to , I be able to start play right away . my only issue be that it be very hard to move up a level and each level be much more challanging than the last . but overall a great game . +838 Video_Games POS 4 for my PSP 2001 unit , game work well . playable sequence be challenging and story line be decent . although there be time when I wish I have a joystick and not the thumb-stick , like on the psp . graphic be intense , and type of aircraft in dogfight be good . +126 Video_Games POS 5 very addicting and fun . Kind of slow pace combat , but it make you think about strategy . very good voice act when there be any , only a few people actually `` talk '' most just have text . I do have problem with start up the game , but I find a patch to fix this . overall great game . +514 Video_Games POS 5 fun for the whole family , a real workout that fun !!! as much fun playing as it be watch . +560 Video_Games NEG 1 this game be obviously program by people who have little to no historical knowledge of the civil war . the only battle out of the four with even a semblance of the historical military balance be Gettysburg . the other three , the `` seven day battle , '' Chattanooga , and Chancellorsville , bear no resemblance to the actual battle in either landscape or unit involve . and as other reviewer have point out , the `` Confederation '' wear blue uniform and the Union gray . in addition , artillery unit be so deadly in this game that no other unit can get near they . they can virtually win a battle by themselves , which be certainly not the case in the civil war . the game also crash quite a bit . +340 Video_Games NEG 1 ok it supposedly load , but on try to run it , it insist `` press pause\/break to start '' . my keyboard -lrb- & likely yours -rrb- do not include those particular key . the customer ` support ' be from Rumania . the loading-interface be most impressive . but this be truly the most frustrating software i have ever deal with in the last 40yr . +206 Video_Games NEU 3 my son want this after play it at he best friend 's house . but after only a couple of play he be back to he favorite -lrb- Super Mario Bros. . galaxy ii , Donkey Kong country return -rrb- . maybe it be not as challenging as those ? or maybe it be more fun to play with other people 's stuff ? obviously he like the game though , so I recommend it . +437 Video_Games NEG 1 Compre el xbox en usa y I lo enviaron por medio de una casilla . I llego a Chile y al conectarlo funciona por alguno minutos y luego comnienza a apagarse y prenderse !!!!! UFFF , , , , terrible , hacer una compra de un producto nuevo y no funciona . Lamentablemente el xbox lo tengo en Chile y lo representantes de la marca I dicen que la garantia no corre en mi pais ... no lo puedo creer , ahora I quedo con un xbox con kinect de adorno o florero . Muy mala experiencia , segunda vez que I pasa algo parecido , no le recomiendo a nadie comprar asus . +303 Video_Games NEG 2 I buy this game because of the Star Wars name like im sure most people do . what a let down ... one can tell this game be push through production too quickly . as point out earlier the frame rate be dispicable , the action mediocre at best , and gameplay less then fun . this game could have be great if they spend some more time on it -lrb- but they do not ... +369 Video_Games NEG 1 so I buy spore on open day , I would be excite about it for age , and while it have not quite live up to my expectation , it have still be a fun game to play , until today . I run it on a laptop , which be usually plug into a wire , but occasionally I go wireless with it and sit on the couch to play . today for some reason my wireless do not come up , and I do not notice . I be happily play spore , when suddenly the game exit on I with a pop up from the ea downloader that say ` please check you internet connection , you seem to be disconnect ' . no chance to save , no auto save , no warning , no nothing . Game quit , the end , sorry if you lose datum . I really really wish I could get my $ 50 back . +636 Video_Games POS 5 let I preface this with I have be a Sims player since its origional incarnation with Maxis . since ea take over I have be sorely disapoint . the relevance here be I be by no mean a ea fan . origionally I want to get Wii Fit Plus , but do not have the 90 $ for for the board and everything . my daughter and I enjoy play the Sports game that come with the Wii . however , I buy the Wii for its exercise aspect and the Sports game be not cut it for I . so , I look around and decide to try ea Sports active : more workout . the Wii board be optional , but I do reccomend get the ea active accessory pack if you do not have the leg band . I have be pleasantly surprise . the control be very well design and easy to use . I really like that for the sport activity -lrb- i.e. water skiing -rrb- there be a video tutorial with a real person go through how to use the wii-mote and engage in the activity . the second time through it give you a option to review the tutorial or go right into the activity . which be nice since you ar not stick wait for the tutorial to finish . also , the next time you do the workout you can view the tutorial or skip it . if like I , you have physiological issue which make some activite difficult or impossible you can skip they without some kind of ` penalty ' . you can create you own workout or select one of a wide variety of preset workout to do . now , I mention my daughter . she turn six in March . the video tutorial be super helpful for she . she be able to participate with minimual fustration at learn the wii-mote and how to engage in the sport activity . she thuroughly enjoy the island workout we do . anybody with a younger child know how difficult it can be keep they actively engage . the island workout combine exercise technique and a variety of sport in a way that keep she interested for the entire 35 minute we work out . we both like the journal and its various atribute . specifically she like watch the graph populate and be tickle to get a trophy . I like the calander and its customizability . when we finish we initial workout my daughter look at I and say ` Mommy , can we do another one ? ' I would definately reccomend this product to anyone look for a exercise game for thier Wii , whether it be for themselves or as a family activity . as a matter of fact , I already have reccomend it , lol . I be tell my best friend about it and she ask I where I get it and to e-mail she the link ! +651 Video_Games POS 5 I have 13 nd game , and this one be the best !! this one be full of surprise and adventure . also , it be not to easy or hard . and even though you get stick at time , you 'll always find a way out . this game sure beat hunting for clam in Danger on Deception Island and look for jewel in the haunt carousel +411 Video_Games NEG 1 Square enix have go downhill and never look back , 13 be indeed the biggest disappointment , i will keep this short and simple ... First of all , the story be too linear . I think it be okay , as long as story be good , but it isnt , it be overall very cliche and the story do not feel complete at all ... turn out square enix seem to be take the advantage of the exist fan base and plan to squeeze out more money from the player by make a sequel . second , character development , this be the first ff game that i can not find a lovable character . the character ' personality feel vague ... I cant help but think that square enix spend too much time on the graphic and totally forget to take care character development -lrb- this also apply to story as well -rrb- Third , battle system , too simple , even a 10 year old can beat the game without a sweat . if i be to play a game for 30 + hour , and its story suck , character be dull , the gameplay experience better be good ... and square enix fail again some of you may think give it a 1 star be too harsh , but this be how disappointed i be ... I will not buy another ff game again ... Sigh ... +745 Video_Games NEG 2 I agree 100 % , two step backwards , total waste of money . I feel like I just spend $ 60 on a really LONG , BORING movie that let you pretend you in it for a while . never should have let Infinity Ward go , treyarch suck . 1 : the soundtrack , `` cut to '' scene and the sound quality make I feel like I be play the original playstation one , aweful , just aweful , it be like they know they could make this game for 10 cent a pop and sell it for 60 buck . 2 : Graphics and story be sub-par , and remind I of the trailer ; spotty , flashy and over all too soon , but then there more , then more , then more , and you leave there wonder when you actually get to play the game instead of watch unemotional scene of spit the f word at shadow in a office while tie to a chair . they should have add a trophy for nausea : realize that when a game only take 50 mb its because there be no game . 3 : Zombie co-op : see as how they leave Infinity Ward in the dark on this one , there be no local co-op awesomeness this time ... just overdo zombie level ... snooze ... it be funny and interesting for all of twenty minute . even though it be a okay zombification of the game there be only one difficulty level and well ... it be be do , so ... way to beat a dead horse , lol . 4 : Multiplayer : so you can modify you own personal tag for online play ... cricket ... cricket ... ITS the EXACT SAME ONLINE AS mw2 , with a few small ` nobody care ' change , that could have be make to mw2 with a free patch . why do everyone defend this game base on its multiplayer , that be just beyond I . what could have be a free patch , just cost 60 dollar to a lot of gamer , and right before the release of two game company actually spend time on Need for speed : HOT PURSUIT and Gran Turismo 5 . 5 : I would re-price this at 19.99 if I personally be involve in the selling of it . +966 Video_Games POS 4 musical note : - this review reflect the single player mode of the game only , but if you have 2 microphone or headset you 'll be able to sing duet and access more mode of the game and thus have even more fun playing . you can also use the EyeToy camera to add you face to the game . - the single player mode , though fewer , be still enough to keep you busy and entertain for month while you be try to constantly better you score , unless perhaps you be a very good singer who can get the top score easily , even on the hardest level of difficulty . - for a listing of the 40 song that be include in the game , just click on the Amazon forum at the bottom of the first page or read the back of the game box which also list they all . none of the real artist sing they song but the sound-a-likes be pretty good for most of they . as well , I sometimes leave the game on while I be work on my computer , so that it keep play the various song in its demo mode . it be just like have the radio on , play top 40 song . WARMUP : this be the first ever Karaoke game I play , and be very surprised to find myself addict to it after just 30 minute of singing . so much so , that I have to scramble around to find the older version of the game which I also love . although the country version have many boring song with only average male sound-a-like singer , I still like the female sound-a-likes and they song in the game , which be enough to still recommend it , even though I play it the least . I start off with a terrible voice but after many day of practice , I be probably much closer to be a average -lrb- once my voice be warm up -rrb- male singer . no , I still can not remember most of the word to the song until I see they pop up on the screen , but my singing have improve enough to get several Diamond record -lrb- highest you can get -rrb- on the easiest of the 4 difficulty level , for some of the easier song like ` Piano Man ' , ` can not help fall in Love ' or ` Breakaway ' -lrb- I be surprised they do not have some big hit song like : Kelly Clarkson 's ` since U be go ' , or James Blunt 's ` you be beautiful ' , and once again there be no abba song include , but maybe some of these song will be in the next version -rrb- . even with only 40 song , it be fun to try to better you high score , and if you have all the other 5 Karaoke Revolution game , you 'll have over 230 song to sing , so repetition be less of a problem . there be also 100 unlockable in this game , include about 24 video -lrb- some fullscreen and some widescreen -rrb- from the american Idol tv show . none of the clip be for entire song and generally only run 90 seconds or less , but they do feature Kelly Clarkson , Katherine McPhee , Clay Aiken , Taylor Hicks , etc. , -lrb- singing song only from this game -rrb- and sometimes join 4 different singer splice together sing the same song . there be also some funny audition include , like William Hung 's ` she bang ' and the Wasp guy . it be too bad the singing clip be so short but it be better than nothing . of the 40 song in the game , only 4 need to be unlock and it be easy to do . to unlock ` Flying without Wings ' , you just need 500,00 total point . to unlock ` Piano Man ' , earn 4 platinum record . to unlock ` Straight up ' earn 6 platinum record . to unlock ` the real thing ' , just get 1.5 million total point in the game . graphic : the cartoony character be basically the same -lrb- if not identical -rrb- as in the previous version and be still nice enough to look at , although until you learn the song melody well enough , you 'll be spend most of you time stare at the pitch arrow and the note tube to see how accurate you pitch be . then of course there be always the lyric to learn , if you want to sound even more authentic . Paula Abdul be miss from the game , replace by she cheaper but still effective counterpart Laura . however , only Simon be really necessary anyway . Simon and Randy look close enough to they real life self and some of the background venue have nice touch , but I think all of they -lrb- other than the american idol stage -rrb- , be in the previous version with sometimes just slightly different thing go on . for instance , here in the beach venue you see a airplane in the background , which have a banner trail behind it which show you name on it and it say , ` happy spring break with -lrb- insert you name -rrb- on the mic . ' ; whereas in Kar . Rev. Party from last year , the plane 's banner say , ' -lrb- Insert you name -rrb- will you marry I ? ' , which be much funnier . the Central Station venue with the subway train go by you be still nice and look basically the same . also , if you sing poorly , you crowd meter go down and you 'll notice there be fewer people in the crowd because people be walk out on you and some will hold they hand over they ear . occasionally , I sing poorly on purpose , just to watch all this and other various thing happen . the various clothing choice be cute , and it be always fun to create a fatso or a skin and bone starlet , and the better you do , the more stuff you 'll unlock . GAMEPLAY : just like before , the game grade you on how accurately you pitch match the singer . a on-screen pitch arrow rise or fall as you raise or lower you voice , try to match it up with the note bar that appear on screen . the more you fill you meter up , the higher rating you get for each phrase . String several good or great rating consecutively together for each phrase and you 'll get a combo bonus and also increase the crowd meter and soon double you score . you 'll soon start to glow and the crowd will cheer more . you do not have to sing the word correctly , but if you sing the phrase -lrb- that be sparkling -rrb- well enough -lrb- pitch-wise -rrb- , you 'll also get a crowd boost . if the crowd meter go to the bottom red part for too long , you 'll be boo off the stage before the song even finish . unless you stop singing , or be completely tone deaf , this will never happen to you so do not worry about it . this be basically the same game as the previous version , except with the american idol contest add , that you can play as either a 8 , 13 or 18 round game . it be easy to win on the easy difficulty level . just save the song you be good at -lrb- for the closing round , once you sing a song it be remove from the list and you can not sing it again in the contest -rrb- , till the last 3 round or so and you 'll do fine . for more of a challenge , let the game randomly choose what song you sing in each round or try the harder difficulty level , which will have larger meter to fill , so it be tougher to get `` good '' and `` Great '' rating for each phrase . as well , try singing without the note bar or the singer , to see how good you really be . some people think this game be tougher than the previous version of the game , but they all seem about the same to I . in the 18 round american idol contest , only in the first 4 round do the judge decide if you advance . after that , the fan voting come into play . you only hear Ryan Seacrest 's voice , but never actually see he . nor do you see or hear the other contestant . you just see they name and yours and how many star each of you get for you song . in round 5 , four people be eliminate and 20 stay . then from round 8 onward , only one person be eliminate . after you win there be a dull screen say you be the american Idol Champion and you also get to sing you encore without be judge of course . also , you can save after each round so you can quit and resume the contest at anytime . also , if you lose , they let you retry the song or pick another one right away . you can even play the american Idol Quick play mode which let you sing one song and then hear what the judge think of you . you high score will still be save in this mode as well . the problem with the judge be that they sometimes get the fact wrong . once , during a contest , while I have over 20,000 point and singing well enough , the judge be cover they ear and at the end say my pitch be not good and that I should not have sing this song again because it be even worse this time around . not only do I not remember singing that song in the previous 7 round -lrb- although I might have ? -rrb- , but more important , be the fact that I get my highest score and a platinum record for this song which then unlock some stuff . so obviously I sing it better this time -lrb- even if Simon be right that I have sing it before ? -rrb- . most of the time however , they get it right and even though they sometimes repeat much of they dialogue , they have enough different variation to keep it interesting and give you a chuckle or too . once you have hear it all , you can always just skip they comment anyway . there be also a Medly mode , again , where you can sing part of three , four or five song string together , but since you score be not save in this mode I do not play it much . I suppose you could write down you best score but I be too lazy to bother . I also like use the Karaoke mode -lrb- there be no judge -rrb- , with the lyric and note bar set to ` off ' , just to watch and listen to my character sing the song . I usually decide not to sing along in this mode because it be then easier for I to notice all the animation and thus enjoy the graphic and sound-a-like singer even more . SOME COMPARISONS with the previous version : this game save you high score -lrb- even the date -rrb- and separate they among the different difficulty level you sing they in , and whether or not you sing the long or short version of the song . unfortunately , you song score be list alphabetically by song name , so if you want to see what song you be best at , -lrb- on a specific difficulty level -rrb- , you 'll have to scroll through the entire list of song to compare . however , I prefer the first three Karaoke Revolution game ' high score listing , because in those one , you score be list from highest to lowest , so it be much faster to see which song you get you highest score on , and which one you need to practice more . although , in the these earlier version , there be no diamond record give for a perfect score , so you never see the word ` Perfect Combo ' on the screen , while you be singing , to help let you know you be on you way to a perfect 50,000 point score . as well , in the older game when you beat you previous high score it say so on the screen . but in this latest version and last year 's country and Party version , it do not . instead , you have to remember you score and then check to see if it be now in the high score section or list as you new best score in one of the song selection screen . sure all you score be still save , but I want to know right after the song if I improve my score . it be no big deal I guess , since the loading in between screen , be very fast , but still I prefer the older way of show thing . this american Idol version have no dancing or minigame option that Kar . Rev. Party have , but that be no big deal since it be hard for most people to sing and dance at the same time without lip-synching -lrb- hello , Ashlee Simpson -rrb- , and the minigame get dull fast . the two basic minigame -lrb- there a extra one if you play with other people -rrb- from Kar . Rev. Party be a okay way to practice singing note , but the game themselves be too basic to be fun for more than a day . another problem be that you score for the minigame be not save , so unless you write they down , you will not know if you improve . if you only want to buy one of these other version , then just pick the one with more of you favorite song in it . however , if you want to be able to sing duet with a friend , DO not buy the first one or volume 2 . as well , all of the other version have about 35-37 song in they , except for Kar . Rev. Party , which have 50 song . MY SO-CALLED SINGING TECHNIQUE : I use the ps2 Konami brand microphone -lrb- which come in this game bundle pack and it have a 15 foot long cord -rrb- , and even after adjust the in-game various setting to change my microphone level , the CPU singer or music volume level , I still find it best to turn on my stereo so I can better hear my voice come through my larger stereo speaker and enjoy the music more . if you do not have you ps2 hook up to you VCR , which be in turn hook up to you stereo system , you be miss out on a bit of the fun factor . however , at night , I sing without the stereo because I do not want to wake anyone up . I still have fun singing either way and can still hear my voice through the regular tv speaker , even with the music and singer set to full or to about two-third of the maximum setting . however , I just recently discover that if I hook up my fairly cheap Sony discman head phone to my stereo -lrb- I still use the hand hold microphone for singing -rrb- , I can greatly improve my score . get perfect 50,000 point score -lrb- easy level -rrb- now happen more often for I . it be obviously because I can stay in tune more easily since it be easier to concentrate on the singer 's voice and match it . I do not think use the game 's usb headset microphone would work as well as my regular head phone and hand hold mic . combination because I have hear that the headset microphone be not as good as the hand hold one that come with this game . also , the headset mic . only have one speaker . the other ear only get a piece of plastic , so it would be like listen to the song in mono . since all the song be in wonderful cd quality stereo -lrb- unlike the mono song of Singstar pop -rrb- , it would be foolish not to have both ear wire for sound . try use either ear phone or head phone -lrb- with a head phone extension cord if necessary -rrb- like I do and you score should also improve . at first I be sing too loud and screech out the high note too often which give I more of a gravelly voice and I could barely ever hit the low note anymore , so I have to rest my voice and sing softer , till I eventually get my full voice back and be then able to more easily sing a high note and then a low note immediately after . avoid strain you voice by singing softer until you have better command of you voice . be patient . on the easy difficulty level , the phrase meter -lrb- use for point -rrb- be smaller so you can miss many of the note and still score a gold -lrb- 12,500 point -rrb- or platinum record -lrb- 20,00 point -rrb- by quite easily fill this meter often enough , especially if you know or learn the melody of the song . Diamond record -lrb- 50,000 point -rrb- be difficult for lame singer like I but it be exciting to see the word `` perfect combo '' on the screen during a song , because I know if I keep get `` great '' rating for each phrase I 'll get that Diamond record . just one phrase that be less than the `` great '' rating , end the chance for that coveted Diamond record . get the word wrong do not affect you score but you 'll feel more satisfied the more word you get right . summary : this be a great game for lousy singer -lrb- hello,k-fed -rrb- who want to improve to at least a bad or average singing level , and even if you be a already good singer , you can use this game to show off to you friend and even learn some of the lyric to 40 song . of course , this also make a even better party game , but because the game show you how much you unlock and how much of the 100 unlockable be still leave to unlock , you 'll probably have trouble stop yourself from singing . you 'll say to yourself , `` just one more song , and then I 'll go to bed '' or perhaps , `` Uggh , I just miss the platinum record by 185 point , I have gotta try one more time ! '' so , do you need this game if you have already play one or more of the previous version but have now lose interest in Karaoke ? the answer of course be no. . however , there be a nice mix of song in this version as well , so if you check out the song list in the Amazon forum post at the bottom of the first page and if you like some of they , Simon say ... `` buy it !!! '' +index Domain Label Rating Review +68 Video_Games NEG 1 it be obvious that Spore be no longer the most wanted game this year . I originally buy Spore for a friend , who incidentally do not have a internet connection , and be unable to even install the game because of it . because of this , I give he another game in exchange for Spore . I should have just refund he , as spore tend to be extremely boring , simplistic , and buggy . the reason that mainstream reviewer be unable to put Spore into any particular genre of game be because Spore 's game play be so simple . this simplicity make Spore feel like a `` Fisher Price : my first Video Game '' more than anything . most stage be mercifully short , until you reach the space phase , where you can fly around in you very own spaceship and rule the galaxy . sound great , do not it ? unfortunately , it be not . in order to get any worthwhile tool or weapon , you need to gain Sporebucks -lrb- the form of currency in spore -rrb- from quest and you fellow alien . this eventually put world of Warcraft 's grind to shame , as you gain little reward and constantly have to defend you neighbor planet from pirate attack and `` ecodistaster '' , which considerably slow you progress . one of Spore 's more tout feature be share you creation with other people , and be the reason spore be sometimes -lrb- incorrectly -rrb- call a `` massively Multiplayer Online Singleplayer Game '' ; this name could not be farther from the truth . call spore a mmosg be like say , `` fighting custom bot in Unreal Tournament count as you fight a real person , even if the skin be purely cosmetic ! a real person make the skin , so it count ! '' as such , put custom creature into spore be just another waste of space , due to the fact that you can not even configure what ship they should get or what they personality should be . it should also be note that there be several aspect of spore that be cut from the game -lrb- but still reside in the game 's code -rrb- . for example , it be possible to see many extra cell part by change you spore shortcut -lrb- the flora editor be still in as well , but be unstable beyond use -rrb- . as nice as extra stuff sound , it be impossible to actually use any of this . Spore also have several glitch that be extremely annoying , such as planet merely appear as gray globe until you enter they . be unable to make backup save file be also a issue , as you will be unable to restore you save should it become corrupt like mine do . Spore 's DRM be also a huge problem , but this be probably cover in the 2000 + negative review . all in all , Spore be a waste of money , computer space , and time . I strongly urge fellow gamer to stay away from this game . I do not see Spore 's expansion pack sell very well . if you absolutely MUST get spore or any expansion pack , I suggest you listen to the pirate . +541 Video_Games NEU 3 as a long time fan of the Myst game -lrb- read the book ... own the soundtrack -rrb- , I be thrill to get my hand on the 4th installation of the series a few month ago . unlike some other reviewer , the dvd drive on my machine -lrb- mac g4 -rrb- have no trouble with the installation or play of the game - run like a charm . First off , the look and sound of the new game be simply stunning . the 360 move panorama format be use to superb effect , with move tree , water , and animal in lifelike digital detail . digitally render model be combine with pre-rendered backdrop for a ` living ' world that you can totally get lose in . the look of this game be on par with anything we have see from Pixar . and Jack Wall be back again with another lush score , which feature a full orchestra , plenty of unusual ethnic instrument and a lovely choir of women ' voice . Peter Gabriel even pitch in a song -lrb- `` curtain '' , the b-side to `` big time '' from 1987 -rrb- for a short abstract mid-game music video . the attention to detail in both sound and visual be really top notch , and be worth the price of the game . Myst : revelation also feature more full-screen video and live act than any previous episode . sadly , the intensity of Brad Dourif from `` Myst : exile '' be not match by the talent in revelation . perhaps the pedestrian script be at fault , but most of the acting -lrb- particularly from Guy Sprung as Achenar -rrb- come across as overdo community theater . Juliette Gosselin 's Yeesha , while often endearing , have a somewhat unnatural way of deliver she dialogue , choose to emphasize word in sentence that do not sound right ... perhaps it be because they be all canadian ? in fact , I would say that Myst creator Rand Miller , reprise he role as Atrus , deliver the only somewhat natural performance in the game . I would like to see Myst 5 bring the act and script up to the level of the technology . the roughest edge in Myst : revelation , however , come from the gameplay itself . while many puzzle have that familiar ` Myst feel ' with clear physical connection to observe , lever to move , and switch to flip , the puzzle seem to get less inspired and more abstract as the game go on . where the earlier game really tie the puzzle into the story , Myst 4 have a few puzzle that seem rather arbitrary - like the developer have some puzzle idea hang around and shoehorn they into the game to fill it out . it be the more transcendent puzzle that get to be particularly incomprehensible . I really intend to play this game without use the include ` interactive digital hint guide , ' but I eventually have to give up on that dream . a good puzzle require you to think outside the box - myst 4 often require I to think outside of the game itself , try to decipher the will of the developer who create the puzzle instead of the game character . too many puzzle be simply not clear enough to be understand without check the hint system for reassurance that I be on the right path . when I do go into the hint guide , I find that the hint either do not provide I any information I do not already know , or give away the answer in full . there do not seem to be any middle ground for those `` I be half way there , but I need a push '' kind of hint - you either get the whole solution or barely any help at all . sadly , even after read the spoiler in the hint guide , I often find myself think `` but that be what I be do ! '' or `` how do they expect I to figure that out ? '' . in general , the puzzle be either pretty cool or impossibly frustrating . just a small handful of puzzle fall into the `` just right '' category , where I feel challenge but not utterly confound . and then , in the end , the game just sort of ... end . unlike some of the previous game in the series , there be not any sort of cool ` payoff ' or reward for reach the end ... there be not even a cliffhanger for the next installment . they just sort of tie up the loose end and leave it . weak . overall , I would say that Myst : revelation be a technical marvel that should be play , if only for the eye candy and sound design . as for the gameplay , Myst fan will probably get into it , and people who do not mind go for the hint guide a lot will probably like it , but if you want to play a game that you can really feel satisfied with figure out all by yourself , this one may prove more annoying than fun . the designer just do not make the path clear enough for the majority of the game , and while the surface shine like a diamond , the substance underneath retain a bit too much coal . +182 Video_Games POS 5 love this product ! it allow you to charge a large part of you peripheral at the same time so gaming can continue !

I do however suggest that when purchase the game you also purchase the strategy guide . it be very well write and contain a complete guide to all of the character and weapon you will run across . +22 Video_Games POS 5 I love the wrist strap be be very handy and my hand be free when play my wius game . thank much will do business again with this seller +116 Video_Games POS 5 let I start by say that I be a avid rpg player , in fact it be nearly the only genre of game that I play . by far my favorite sub-genre for rpg be turn-based one . since these be dead on the home console , I jump at the one that still make they way onto the handheld system . enter xseed 's localization of Trails in the Sky , a jrpg develop by Falcom originally for the pc . the first thing many psp rpg gamer will ask be : why would I buy another Legend of Heroes game when the first three suck so bad ? well here be three reason : 1 -rrb- the game be localized by xseed , not Namco Bandai . xseed have do a truly fantastic job of translate this game , something Namco fail miserably at . 2 -rrb- xseed do not fool around with the game play , something Namco also do with the original trilogy . 3 -rrb- this be the first game of a trilogy , and the story contain in this game have absolutely nothing to do with the other three localized by Namco .

I be very impressed with this story and I can not give enough thanks to Xseed for spend so much time do a good translation ! the story do contain some of the jprg cliche but it be not drip with they like some game . I find the interaction amongst the character to be humorous and enjoyable to read . not a single character I have come across yet -lrb- 4 of the 8 -rrb- have cause I to be annoyed and hate they . typically in jrpg there will always be a ultra annoying emo boy and girl that I hate immediately , not so here . this game be part of a trilogy , and like some other rpg you will be able to import you save game into the next game of the series . the game also have a new game + feature where nearly everything be carry over if you wish to play through the game again and try to get any Bracer Points you miss , or hide item . Gameplay : most of the area in the game be at 3rd person overhead view , with the camera rotatable by 360 degree . in some area , notably indoor area the camera will be fix . the game story be linear , however you do have some freedom and plenty of opportunity for exploration . there be place you can visit and explore for good loot that be not party of the story , and will be miss if you do not take advantage of it before the story take you onto different region . for combat people should be happy to know that there be no random encounter ! you can see all random enemy before you engage they . there have be plenty of variety in the enemy you fight , along with several that require different strategy to kill . combat be turn-based , and unlike most turn-based game you can move you character around on the battle field . you may at first think that sound similar to a srpg , but it be really not . you can either move and attack , just move , start cast a spell , use a special attack , use a item , or flee . several spells\/special attack will have area of effect which be show the screen so you 'll know if you can hit multiple enemy . turn order be display on the screen , and randomly up come turn will have bonus assign to they -lrb- 100 % critical , heal some health\/ep\/cp , increase strength , etc -rrb- . it be in you best interest to manipulate the turn-order to gain those bonus . needless to say there be plenty of room for tactic here , but the over all combat system be very easy to understand . you will not be overload with option . Sound & Graphics : these two category be the lowest in importance to I . that say , I do not have any issue with either . the graphic look good , the text be all perfectly readable , no issue with frame rate or sound stuttering , none of the music annoy I . in combat you character will say thing for some attack -lrb- battle voice -rrb- . I really do not have much to say on this aspect of the game . conclusion -lrb- tldr -rrb- : this be a excellent jrpg that exceed all of my expectation for the game . the story be excellent , the translation be top notch , the character be all likeable , the combat system be enjoyable , and I be happy with the sound and graphic . trail in the Sky , you get 5 star from I ! update -lrb- 7\/26\/2011 -rrb- : I have since complete the entire game , along with all quest . total play time be 51 hour . that time be with very , very little grind of any kind . I do a little at the start of the game -lrb- maybe a hour or two -rrb- but none after that . my opinion of the game have not change either . I still feel like this be a excellent game and I will definitely be buy the sequel when it arrive . the game of course end on a cliff hanger -lrb- it be a three part game I believe -rrb- and I actually be slightly surprise by the plot twist . +704 Video_Games POS 4 game be a gift for my 78 year-old widow mother who do not go out much in the winter . it have be so popular , she have invite all she friend over to play and now hang up on I when I call so that she can finish the game she be play . note that she be terrify of computer and all thing electronic , but have adopt the Wii as she would a stray puppy . +915 Video_Games POS 5 both my 4 year old and 5 1\/2 year old love this game ! the problem solve and exploration aspect be top in my book ! +700 Video_Games POS 5 I buy this game for my daughter . she love to dance , and keep drag I out into the living room to join she . I have not break anything yet , so it must be a good game . +934 Video_Games POS 5 this game seem very confusing , and have a very poor story at first , but as you begin the game these two idea be both proven false . the control in this game be extremely easy to get into and get use to . the basic concept be very simple ; you have to roll over random object to increase the size of you `` katamari '' . along the way there be many object to increase variety , and add they all to you collection require hour of extra gameplay . this game have incredible value , as it be price be very low consider the value of this game . the major highlight of the game be the incredible gameplay , unique , but catchy music , and basically the raw fun of see something be push around by a mouse eventually pick up entire building . fun to watch , even better to play , this game be one of the best ! +388 Video_Games POS 5 this be a present for my son as well and he love the game . Easy installation and be quickly play after-ward . graphic be awesome as well as game play . if you be into WOW highly suggest cataclysm expansion . +589 Video_Games NEU 3 I have be wait for this game since I discover Battlefield2 Bad Company ... be really expect they to continue with the character they develop in bc2 . the game play in single player be ok , but just do not live up to all the hype . I do not like the way the game control you action ... you can not take alternate route into a firefight , you be tell when to throw flashbang ... and after a promp , its do for you ? ... what cheese . the hand to hand fight be a joke . the game look great , sound great , but play mediocre . mw3 come to butthead ! +397 Video_Games NEU 3 Update : I play the multiplayer version , not impressed at all . you will have fan boy who will always say this be the best game , but if you look close at the game you will see its not a worthy follow up . the game commercial be better than the actual game . this be for the pc version . activation have take the series a giant step back and I be not talk back to the 1960 's . the graphic be not as good as call of duty 4 : Modern Warfare . the game play be ok , but the solo campaign be easily finish in 4-6 hour in hard mode . the game be full of historical inaccuracy in regard to the weapon available at the time you suppose to be play in . for instance the SPAS 12 show up a full 12 year before it be even make . I pick up a AK-47 that have a flame thrower attach to the underside of it . all that could be forgive if the game have great graphic and level , but it do not . the game 's character be not up to the same level as the Modern Warfare series either . in black op , you just do not care about the lead character like you do in the other series . the sr71 scene could have be cool , but instead it end up be a move you squad around a map , zoom in and take control , fight , go back to the map to move they . Kinda lame consider the sr71 be a photo reconnaissance plan . you do not get to take pic while fly at Mach 3 dodging missile be fire at you . you can tell Infinity Ward do not make this game and its too bad they and activation have a fall out . the Modern Warfare series be great and I have fun play the game . my other gripe be that the game use Steam . I just do not like buy a game , take it home , put in the dvd and have to download content . I also be not a big fan of Steam , but that be a whole other story . I have not even try the multi player part of the game , so I can not comment on it . what could have be a grand slam home run end up be a double . +543 Video_Games POS 4 take a little bit of get use too , but be a lot of fun . it be something the whole family can enjoy . +779 Video_Games NEG 2 I play this game until chapter 12 -lrb- 13 chapter total -rrb- and I can not continuous to play because it be too boring . good : 1 . very beautiful graphic . the cut scene be awesome . 2 . lightning voice be very good in English version . 3 . the new battle system work well . 4 . the strategy guide be very beautiful . con : 1 . the story be bore . I like the ff7 and ff10 better . the graphic be beautiful but miss a good story behind 2 . the game play be too simple . basically , you just keep move forward . keep hit the `` x '' button during the battle . you might need to change the battle mode once a while . imagine you keep do this for 60-80 hour . 3 . after you win the game , you use you point\/experience to build up you character . upgrade the character take lot of extra time and effort . 4 . over all , the game have no surprise in storyline and the game play be just too boring . you just repeat to do the something until the game finish . +241 Video_Games POS 5 it be a great game , it have amazing detail and scenery , ton of different thing to do , very customizable character , i play this game every day and it never get hold . its a great game if you have the money , as it be somewhat spendy , but well worth it in my opinion if you like rpg 's you will fall in love with world of Warcraft . the burning crusade expansion add ton of extra to the game as well . definitely a great buy +566 Video_Games NEG 1 a horrid game , poor graphic , worst control ever on a redundant , soon dead , over rate , low sale console . save you cash . yes this game suck on XBox too . +784 Video_Games NEU 3 this be a amazing game , up until the point where software bug prevent the player -lrb- i.e. I -rrb- from continue the adventure . therefore , since only about 2\/3rds of the game be available for I to play I rate it no greater than 2\/3rds of the maximum . I 'll just mention the bug without use any spoiler . you 'll eventually encounter a cavern that you must enter and do something , but if you save after enter this cavern and then restart a confirm glitch in the game will prevent you from ever leave . I be incredibly disgusted with this situation and be not yet do deal with Nintendo because they solution be to start over from scratch or from a earlier save record if one be available . if I have it to do over again I would wait for a second release of this game , like a `` Player 's Choice '' release because it be likely that will contain a update build of the game with bug fix . you may also want to consider the Gamecube build because I have read account where people say that the bug be fix for the Gamecube release . this situation and other that I recently have have with Nintendo product have seriously dent the reputation for quality that the company use to have . +279 Video_Games POS 4 I be sure that other have cover the basic mechanic by now , so I 'll spare anyone who read my opinion from have to read they again . this be also spoiler free . combat : this be the high point of the game for I . it be be a very long time since I play a handheld rpg that the dev team actually go out of they way to make combat more than a tedious chore . the turn\/grid base strategy combat system be so fun for I I actually go out of my way to change up my team to try out new thing . not that there be not a `` golden team '' that be more powerful than other in a majority of situation , like most rpg with multiple party member , but there be no character that be terrible enough to bench permanently . one of the best part about combat be that if you do not feel like fight you can skip every single non-boss encounter in the game by stunning , run and dodge . and if you be good enough at the combat mechanic the lack of level will not hurt you progression . I love it when a game let 's I make decision on what be fun at the time , rather than force I to slog through whatever be not . another nice thing be that you can go back in time to any fight you want and try it again with a different set up just for fun without have to restart the entire game to do so . I wish more game would allow this . story : personally , the story start out interesting but quickly sink into stereotypical theme . it might be fresh for someone who have not play a lot of jrpg , but if you have I would be very surprised if you be unable to guess every single plot twist come from a mile away . the foreshadowing be so constant that I find myself wish the writer would just present the twist already and spare I another crappy moment of `` oh it could not be this thing that it be '' . I also do not like the fact that some bit of the plot come out of nowhere , seemingly write in at the last second to cover a generic rpg trope . no offense to those who find the same old stuff find in countless other games\/books\/movies comforting . it be just not my thing . the time travel via node system seem pretty exciting at first , but that fade away quickly when I realize that the story be still linear . at certain point you will be ask to make one of two choice . sometimes it will not be obvious that one trivial decision will lead to certain doom , but it will . and after you have make this decision it be game over , back to the start of the chapter , press start to skip , go back to Historia to select the right node , etc. . player be encourage to view every bad end with the promise of a special ending , but as it be with the rest of the story it be easy to guess what change by simply view the normal ending and have basic knowledge of usual rpg plot twist . I honestly feel like I waste my time on it and wish I have cheat by use a list to save myself the effort . my main complaint about the story be that this game have the illusion of choice without actually have any to make , because there be always just one right decision . A.k.a. the `` true history '' as it be explain on the back of the box . I prefer to be give choice . music\/graphics : because the review would not be complete without it . the music be pretty nice and the piano version on the CD , if you be able to pick up a game from the original print run , be very pretty . I also like the sprite quite a bit , but that be just my taste . I can see someone who prefer 3d not like it , but say the graphic be terrible just because the art be 2d be silly . overall I like the gameplay quite a bit . if you like fun combat , or even the choice of run away , I would recommend it . however , if you play rpg for the story and be look for something new and interesting it might be better to pick this one up use . +278 Video_Games NEG 1 this game look great . worked half ass for the first 2 hour then gun will not calibrate for the last 30 min . biggest p.o.s game i have come across yet . take it back right now . +180 Video_Games NEU 3 how will I get my Redeem Codes ... I have place my order and get a message that its take too long and that I would be contact . +349 Video_Games POS 5 I finally let myself get pull into the pokemon world . be a Anime fan , I decide to give pokemon a go . after speak with a few friend that have all three version , they recommend I get the yellow version first . have a GameBoy Color already , make the purchase of the yellow version a good buy since it support color . Gameplay in general be fun and it keep I glue to the Gameboy for hour on end . there be a lot to do in the game which mean it will not be like other game that you buy and beat the game in a few day . this be a good buy ... my 2 cent . +586 Video_Games POS 5 I have be play the Nancy Drew game for a few year now , and have find that with each one the graphic , intrigue & fun just keep get better & better . in `` danger by design '' Nancy agree to go to Paris to help a nervous investor of Minette 's House of Fashion . he be nervous because Minette have begin act very strangely & have fall way behind on she new spring collection - both of which could lead to a failed business venture . once there , Nancy become aware of several threatening letter the designer have receive , as well as a number of rumor concern artwork that have be steal during World War II that may be hide in the old wind Mill that now serve as Minette 's House of Fashion . could they be relate some how ? as Nancy Drew , you will find yourself snoop around for clue , work to earn the money need to buy several need item , solve various puzzle , and ultimately put all the information together to solve the mystery surround Minette & the steal artwork . overall , I love `` danger by design '' . it have the best graphic to date for a nd game & it be great fun to play . I would highly recommend it to anyone who have enjoy play other such game , as well as those who enjoy -lrb- or be enjoy -rrb- read the nd series . +294 Video_Games POS 5 my son love car anything , and he love play video game , so I think he would really enjoy this . he just turn 5 , and he do not play the Wii game system much , so he have some difficulty use the controller , since he be use to the playstation controller . he do get a little frustrated while try to play the different game but only because of the controller , not the game itself . other than that , it be a pretty fun game to play , I enjoy it as well . I think they should revise this game so that you can use the Classic Controller for Wii with this game , kid would find it a lot easier . +985 Video_Games POS 5 along with my new gtx 580 , battlefield 3 arrive with beauty and non-the-less hour upon hour of pulse pump game play . overall , the game be beautiful , the game play be fulfil , and my new video card run the game as smooth as butter . Thanx Amazon !! +290 Video_Games NEU 3 the Xbox verson be , in my opinion , much better for single player . as for multiplayer , the new addition be fun and all but well , they dont truely beef up the expereince that much -lrb- with the exception of the banshee of course -rrb- . however , for LAN party there be very few game that can compare . there be nothing quite like rush you neighbor 's base and kill he entire team with a armada of banshee on blood gultch . if youre a big LAN Partier definetly get this game . otherwise , buy it for the Xbox and hook up Gamespy tunnel +253 Video_Games NEG 1 ea have lose I as a customer . since when do buy a product mean you cant use it forever . I have have to reformat my hard drive over three time and I do it on a regular basis to have a fresh os . now I be tell that I will no longer be able to do that and install this game over 3 time ??? this be spore , they will make million off of this game and have no reason to worry about copyright infringement all at the cost of the customer who actually do buy the game . I be very frustrated and extremely disappointed . +292 Video_Games POS 5 what else be there to expect ? : d plug in on receipt and be play instantly . . awesome : -rrb- . . already own a wireless but want a wire also : -rrb- +703 Video_Games POS 5 I be a big d fan and I love this game . First off , it be a fun gameplay with lot of level and eight world . it also include a bazillion minigame . next it allow for all the minus game to be multiplayer and it have a special mode which allow for fun capture the star , all which can be do use one card ! the only drawback be limited saving -lrb- only at castle and tower -rrb- but I jave find that if you get 5 star and buy a mushroomhouse or level , it will let you save you progress . all in all this be on great game that I recomend to anyone look for some fun . +54 Video_Games NEG 2 imagine , if you will , that you be run a marathon . imagine that you have spend year training for that day , put you heart and soul and energy into it . now , imagine that the day of the marathon , you loved one be there cheer you on . that feeling of joy and pride wash over you as you take off , every mile pump you adrenaline , force you to go on . and you feel good . no. . . you feel satisfied ! finally , the end be in sight ! the finish line be just on the horizon ! you push and you run . it get closer and closer . you be now ten yard away ! finally , the feeling of accomplishment you will feel when you cross that line will finally come ! and then , at the very last minute , someone leap from the crowd and cripple both you kneecap with a softball bat ... that be what the experience of mass effect 3 be . until the very last moment , the game seem nearly perfect . the atmosphere , gameplay , and story seem to be everything we have be wait for in order to complete Commander Shepard 's story . but then , you hit the last ten minute and it be a slap in the face . after you watch the final -lrb- nonsensical -rrb- cutscene , you feel as if you have be betray and from that point on , the game no longer have any replay value whatsoever . I love mass effect 3 but now all that stick out in my mind be that terrible end . it be difficult to say anything else that have not already be say . when the game be good , it be great and then it pull the chair out from under you at the very last minute . +237 Video_Games POS 5 very nice product . perfect for watch dvd 's on you xbox . thanx +175 Video_Games POS 4 the duel mode -lrb- one on one -rrb- be very , very unresponsive . rancor be sluggish . pick up item take too long to highlight and throw -lrb- destiny and rancor -rrb- jump do not always work , you need to jump again or again again . pod racing be somewhat reasonably responsive . all in all I give it a 4 . at least once they admit there be a problem , they will send a fix to XBOX Live . +928 Video_Games NEU 3 just a preface , we have the old incredible machine game which have be `` incredible '' as it have hold the interest of my 4 boy -lrb- now 6,9,11,13 -rrb- for many year . that be indeed a marvel since it be graphic be date and will run on virtually any pc from 1998 on . this be suppose to be a modern version of this type of game . it be but the interface be not intuitive and do not make effective use of the mouse imho -lrb- probably because this be also available for console system -rrb- . it be very hard to grasp what to do initially -lrb- as the other review state -rrb- but you slowly figure it out . maybe with more play it will be easier but the designer could learn a few thing from the old incredible machine game . also of note be that it will install in xp but will not run , until you manually install m dotnet 3.5 -lrb- I find this out after some googling and it be on the game designer web forum -rrb- . this be only necessary on xp , on Windows 7 it run without issue . +351 Video_Games POS 5 these cable be great ! if you have a hdtv or just a tv with component input , these cable be a necessity for better picture . I have both a CRT style tv with component input and a 1080p hdtv . both tv 's have more vibrant color and better picture when use the component cable . Make sure that you hdtv support 480p if you want the Wii to display in that resolution . do not try to enable 480p in the wii setting if your tv will not display that resolution . for those not notice a difference compare to the include composite cable this can be atttribute to 2 thing : 1 . you have forget to enable 480p in the Wii setting 2 . you hdtv do not display 480p as well as it be native resolution like 1080i\/1080p . not all hdtv 's be build the same . \*\*\* very important for 480p output \*\*\* - please note that you tv must be a high-definition tv -lrb- hdtv -rrb- or enhanced-definition tv -lrb- edtv -rrb- to view 480p output . - you will also be require to change you Wii setting from standard tv -lrb- 480us -rrb- to edtv\/hdtv to view 480p . \*\*\* very important for 480p output \*\*\* Super Mario Galaxy look even more incredible with these cable !! awesome . thanks Amazon for the great price ! thanks Nintendo for another fantastic product ! +743 Video_Games POS 4 sometimes lag but its worth i think . . i can play black op in the ps3 by use mouse and keyboard +526 Video_Games POS 4 hello , I purchase my copy of the fight simulator x deluxe when it first come out . let I tell you something , I have be a Proud Owner of Flight Simulator for almost 8 year . I have see the best , and the worst . I will say though , this game have , by far the best graphic , and Game Play ever to come out . Microsoft be try to Better then ever , and i think they may have come out with a game that be not ready and not suitable for the computer out there . -lrb- but will be a different story when Microsoft Vista come out . -rrb- I purchase a new computer -lrb- need one anyway -rrb- , New Logitech Freedom Joystick , and a Logitech Headset . it make a BIG difference ! pro 's -------- - the graphic for the most part be outstanding ! - airport activity be amazing - all the New aircraft be great , -lrb- Airbus 321 , Bombar . 700 , etc. -rrb- - mission - online Play con 's -------- - a little slow - online Play get Disconnected very offen - not suitable for most computer - come out to soon for this Generation Microsoft Came out with a New Generation Game , which be great , dont get I wrong , but its too soon for this . be AWARE : it take up 13,245.00 mb 's !!! most computer cant handle that , THIS take up more then half of MY COMPUTER ! but it be worth it . if you want a : - fun - enjoyable - exciting - very realistic - and most of all , like the real thing then this be for you . $ 70.00 be worth this wonderful game . great Job Microsoft , Great Job . regards , Tyler Owner of Flight Simulator for almost 8 year ! +901 Video_Games POS 4 pick this up from the PS + free-bee for April . have not have much time to really play it till this past weekend . I never try the first shift , so I can not compare it to that one . also I have only just start play this title this past weekend . this will only be my first impression of this game with more to come . I have to say that I do not know anything of this game before play it . I have play many of the nf series game since the original release back in the early to mid 90 's . I have be a racing fan since Pole position on the Atari -lrb- s -rrb- , Arcaders like out Run or Super off Road with Sims such as hard drivin ' . ha-ha ! seriously though , I have . so I have try many title in my year of gaming . Arcaders and Sims alike . I give they all a fair try before knock they . the nf series have let I down in the past on a few of they release . mostly I know nf as a arcade style , run from the cop , racer with detailed beautiful exotic . the undercover series , or as I refer to they as `` the fast n furious era '' , have some positive , but go in a unfamiliar direction . after those I avoid NFS : shift . I hear that it get decent review , but I have decide to move on from it . those positive point on shift persuade I into run out and snag a copy of the re-release of `` Hot pursuit '' in 2010 . I have be rock that for the past 2 year plus . last year when shift 2 unleash be release I do not even remember that it be a nf title . I have be eyeball the latest nf , `` the Run '' , since play the demo . so I like racer and nf racer I know ... except for these on the `` shift '' line ... till now . my first glance at shift 2 unleash have I excited . the graphic and audio be very well do . they produce a amazing look and feel opening sequence . I also notice that they use AutoLog like in NFS : Hot pursuit -lrb- 2010 -rrb- . I be a huge fan of that feature . if you do not know , find out . the menu be uniquely display and easy to navigate . the menu item regard game play display completion percentage . that be more than welcome . when you get into play it they start you out on a test play . this be sweet ! upon completion of the test you be provide with what NFS think would work for you as far as race setting go . I personally know that I just need a few lap to get the feel of the control down . so you can accept they as nf suggest or retry it . so I do a few attempt ... about 3 or so . afterwards my suggest setting be now accord to the way I last drive as oppose to the first attempt . that be the sweet spot ! ; - -rrb- they start you out with another race and give you cheddar to spend on a new whip . I be assume , depend on how you do on the first race , will determine the amount provide for use on you car . I be think that I do not do so well . I have enough for a Ford Mo-Focus and a upgrade or two . the upgrade on the vehicle be similar to other NFS game . mostly all of they be performance upgrade . there be not any pointless ground glow and window tint kit here . they also throw in upgrade package that be many optimal upgrade for you vehicle . I have only just begin to play this game , so my only vehicle be the Mo-Focus . I be hope that the kit vary from vehicle to vehicle . the upgrade also show a number system for the increase of what area of effect it 'll have on you vehicle . also you vehicle will gain performance value as you upgrade it . this must come in handy with the AI and also boast on-line ranking . example being ; if you have a top time on a track with a mo-focus and you performance value be 500 , and I hold second by a tenth of a second behind with my Mo-Focus , which be value at 300 , you probably do not have much bragging room , and if I take first place I will be gloat . race do take some get use to when you first start . adjustment have a effect too and might throw you off some , so be cautious when upgrade . there be the traditional drive view of 1st or 3rd person drive , but they also have my new favorite of Helmet cam . there be a head turn effect before turn that occur which I now want in all race game . again , this require some get use to , but holy cow , its fun . the right stick too be use as you head turn function . I use it to look up at the rearview to see all of the racer that I have dust . there be also distortion effect that occur upon impact and those impact affect you whip throughout the remainder of the race , so be cautious and learn you limitation while out there on the course . the game play be extremely rewarding . you do not just race for 1st here . you do not just go for the chedda , although the extra chedda help with upgrade . you do not just go for top on the leader board either . this one throw in some objective to complete on each race . they be useful objective that assist with refining you driving skill . I can not recall all of they , though there be these that I can ; lead a lap , race a clean lap , & master corner \/ racing line . each objective provide you with xp to increase you rank . not sure where the ranking will lead to other than reward at certain rank . anyways here , long review short - I be grateful that the April PS + free-bee include this title . if it do not I would be miss out on a great game ... this opinion after play for only a few hour too . so I guess it have great appeal from the jump off , which will make you want to play more of it . if you do not get it free like I , minus the annual membership fee , you should buy it . well worth the same cost of even the most current nf or gt release . thanks to this opportunity I can see a review for the first shift come soon as well . I 'll be update this as I progress thru the rank . get it if you have not . +157 Video_Games POS 4 the game be fun . there be no doubt about that . it probably appeal to the younger audience , hence the e rating . I find it to be clever . it follow the storyline of the movie but be able to deviate in appropriate way . for example when Buzz be navigate through a room , it may switch to he fly through space . it be as if he be get play with , use a child 's imagination just like the movie . the game incorporate the touch pad intermittently so there be a good mix of the control . you can unlock level for free play by collect the pixar ball . my biggest criticism be that it be not challenging , but I think it be appropriate for the younger gamer . by add the free play , it be good for replay value . +862 Video_Games POS 5 Got this game for my 11 year old daughter for Christmas . it be fun to play with she & to use for exercise . some dance be hard to get perfect , but if you be look to get up & move for fun , this game be for you . +625 Video_Games POS 5 give I just the space I need to play in my small apt .

Xbox live offer movie , music , and avatar item . everything you buy on xbox live be save in you download history . so even if you delete it to make room in you hard drive , it be available to be download again . personally , I find xbox point to be a great investment that allow I to unlock the game I purchase for many additional hour of play . for you entertainment dollar , expand you favorite game be win proposition . +565 Video_Games NEG 1 I receive the Wii remote plus not package in the manufacturer 's box . the item come wrap in bubble in a plain brown box . this product be most likely counterfeit and this be unacceptable .

I take off a single star for a few con to be discuss , but , overall , the package live up to expectation . though these headphone obviously will not blow away audiophile , they offer enough clarity and separation to hear the entire range of action , from BGM to voice . it also offer a decent 10m range , so it work perfect in a basic entertainment setup . the base also send the digitally process signal through the analog out , a nice bonus . there be a few `` however `` s to point out . the sound be fairly plush , but it be weak on high and low . the headphone will not blow anybody away with bass , and the high be easily distort . the 10m range also mean you might have to play around with you setup . Mine be fine for now , but I 'll have to move thing around to position the base just right . if you get beyond the ` happy ' communication range , you will notice some nasty hissing and pop . if something interrupt the signal , you will notice hissing and pop . also important to note , battery pay a huge roll in maintain quality of audio reception . if you use poor\/low-quality battery or allow the battery to run low , the frequency of the hiss and occurrence of pop increase . my biggest complaint be the include optical cable . it be cheap , far too flexible , and about as thin as uncooked spaghetti . you will want to buy a better quality optical cable . you want a optical cable with some flexibility , but it need to be stiff enough to protect the delicate glass tube . if the glass break , you can kiss the signal goodbye . also , audio pass through for the win ! Turtle Beach understand that gamer sometimes want to enjoy a game with friend and\/or family without disturbing everybody around they . with the pass through , anybody playing along side you get to enjoy the x41 's digital processing without any fuss . also , you can hook up some analog wireless headphone if you , say , want to pull up you preferred music player and listen from 30m \* away . \* 30m range for analog wireless headphone base on average 900mhz +546 Video_Games NEG 1 I have thoroughly play battlefield 3 and despite the bug it really be a fantastic game . it really be . definitely one of my favorite game now and definitely my favorite over call of duty . HOWEVER !!! and this be a big however . origin , the pointless ea software that you have to use\/have in order to play the game , be a really poor excuse for ea to literally spy on you computer as much as they want . I have read some of the agreement you have to check in order to play the game as well as read a bunch about it online and it basically say that by check `` I agree to these term '' you give ea the rights to take and sell any information they find on you computer to 3rd party company as well as use it for they be on gain . this be the same thing they do with the original mass effect all over again . if you new to the hole ea see , be aware , they be a shifty company and frequently try thing like this . they frequently take advantage of they customer and frakly be not to be trust . Stay away from ea whenever possible ! how South Park portray they in one of they newer episode be absolutely spot on . Trust I , ea evil in many way . +322 Video_Games POS 4 first , if you love the original , you 'll be just as addict to this one .

Booker seem not to know when visitor show up - and since they show up at the town hall , what be the point ? - and you never get to talk to copper unless you be do wi-fus ... also , catch the proverbial mole cricket -lrb- the only winter bug available , really -rrb- have prove impossible for I at least ... you dig it up , but by the time you get you shovel put away and get you net out , it have crawl off and disappear - catch thing happen in real time - the game do not freeze action , so it be like a active-time-battle in a standard rpg . finally , the official game guide be puzzling - clothes be give huge up close shot -lrb- so you can copy design ? -rrb- -rrb- but item and furniture , etc , be tiny dark picture with no definition at all ... very wierd . +99 Video_Games NEG 1 a botched release and bad graphic . hold out for the release of rb 3 . the guitar : Power Gig advertise that you can `` rock it real '' but in all honesty , the only thing real about this game be the guitar string . the guitar be small and the fret be too far spread out . save you fingertip and stick with the traditional rb\/guitar hero axis . this game in no way let 's you `` Rock it real '' unless you be not actually play the game . at best you have a small out of tune low quality guitar . Gameplay : this would be a cool game if it be 2006 . the graphic be inferior to the other big dog on the market . most screen shot be from a far so you can not focus on how bad the character graphic be . the guitar guy do a little spin every once and a while but that be about as exciting as it get . the game do not even offer the ability to design character and the storyline of `` clan '' be just plain odd . in order to unlock some of the headlining artist , you have to complete the first major part of the storyline . the graphic be just plain lazy . if you be play by yourself -lrb- let 's not even mention the fact that there be no bass in this game -rrb- the gameplay screen do not even shift to the center of the screen . overall , I be bummed because the one thing Power Gig do offer be a good collection of artist . hopefully they 'll release they song to a more reputable developer . Power Gig will soon be line the clearance shelf next to rock Revolution . if you find yourself want the play the song pg offer , save you money and wait for they on DLC . +164 Video_Games NEG 1 COD BO be a piece of crap ... it be the worst fp that I have ever own . its hacky and glitchy and not the least be consist . do not waste you money or you time +483 Video_Games POS 4 just get this game in the mail today and the game be what I want -- since I have this game when I be little but the cd be scratch . the thing I want to point out be because the game be sell by SpaceBound , Inc. -lrb- if that have anything to do with it -rrb- but the game come in a plastic wrap with the CD and the booklet . not even a case . I be not penalize the game , because I love Nancy Drew game , but it be odd the game do not come in a case . +866 Video_Games POS 4 take it from I , a 13 year-old girl gamer , that this game be ` the cat meow ' .

I love the nightime and the 3d effect , as well as smaller thing like the multiple color of baloon at one stall and the firework display ... I also really like the ride the Rides feature . I recommend that anyone who like these type of game buy RollerCoaster Tycoon3 !!! +677 Video_Games POS 5 product be as describe . package get here very lighten fast . I be very happy with this seller . my daughter be very thrill and happy . : -rrb- thank you and kudos Angel +806 Video_Games NEU 3 again , just like gr2 , this game do not thrill I . I must admit that it be better than the plain old gr2 , but it still -lrb- in my opinion -rrb- be not the best . it do not give I that great `` ghost recon '' type of feel that I be really look forward to . I play ghost recon and island thunder so much and I guess I be just let down with this game . I mostly play the multiplayer portion and get bore very quickly with the single player game . ghost recon 2 : Summit strike be a military base first person shooter available for the Xbox . although ghost recon game have be solely first person view in the past , this game also have a over the shoulder -lrb- 3rd person -rrb- view available . this be the first thing that really discourage I about the game . I for one love the first person view and when play over xbox live , the OTS view give opponent a very big advantage over someone like myself who play use the fp view . in my opinion , there should have only be one view available so that this advantage never come into play . the graphic in the game be very good for they time . they be like a polished version of what gr2 have to offer , so nothing that new in this department . the single player game , to I , feel very slow and boring . I know it be a tactical shooter , but it still feel overly slow . the game also feel repetitive to I , but this be mostly due to the gameplay . I would not suggest this game to anyone look for a fun single player experience . the multiplayer game , on the other hand , be in my opinion the only reason to purchase this game . it be a `` ok '' experience to I , only because I find it far different from ghost Recon Island Thunder - the ghost recon I be use to play . for most people , however , the multiplayer experience be a lot of fun . there be about 20 or so map available and 24 -lrb- I think -rrb- gametype to choose from . +993 Video_Games POS 5 after play some of the more recent Nancy Drew game I feel like HER Interactive be lose its touch on the game -lrb- with the pointless chore and task -rrb- . all I can say for this game be `` WOW ! '' . it be a fanstastic game and be now apart of my top 3 nd game . as always the graphic be beautiful and the interaction with the character be quite nice . the plot of the story be absolutely brillant and so interesting . HER Interactive as always make creative and unusual puzzle . all the puzzle be head scratcher but I be never stump to a point I have to look at a walkthrough . one of my favorite puzzle in the game be Yumi 's Bento puzzle it be tough at first but once I get the hang of it I could not stop ! I be not go to lie to you Shadow at the water 's Edge be scary . I do not mean like in other nd game where the suspense be scary but nothing scary really happen . in this game there be some legit scary moment with the ghost of the Ryokan but very few moment like that . the rest of the scariness be in the suspense of the game and a number of thing contribute to the creepiness such as the history of the Ryokan and the music . the music be wonderful and orginal as always but some of the music be seriously creepy but I guess it go with the whole theme of the game . I love the game ! I recommend it to all Nancy Drew fan . one of my favorite !!! +911 Video_Games NEG 2 I be a big fan of the civilization series , and pre-ordered my copy of civilization v hope it would be even better than the superb civilization iv . have play several game through to completion now , I have conclude that it be really pretty dull . the fundamental problem be that the game be too easy . a single-player strategy game like this be only as good as the computer opponent , and the one in Civ V be pushover . I have play several game now at the highest difficulty level , try for various different victory condition , and win easily . I do not think this reflect on I be a superior player . I make lot of mistake . the issue be that the computer opponent do not play to win , or even to try and stop the human player from win . for example , there be one game where I could see that , be I to somehow switch place with one of the ai , I could win in a matter of just a few turn by spend its enormous trove of cash bribe city state to elect I world leader . the AI just sit there , do nothing in particular . in another game , I have target myself at win by build a spaceship and send it to Alpha Centauri . I see several other civilization achieve the prerequisite for build a spaceship ahead of I , and think maybe I be in trouble . but they do not even try to build they spaceship . and not because they be busy try to conquer the world , or win through some other mechanism . they pretty much just sit around . so I be able to eventually catch up and win again . there be also a lot of little thing about civilization v that I find annoying . for instance , there be the fact that you have no way of tell what the ai think of you or of each other , so war seem to happen at random . or the way you have to micromanage move you unit because the pathfinding be very poor . I could go on . combine these smaller issue with the overarching lack of a challenge , and it give the impression of a game that just be not design very well . I really want to like this game . and I think I give it a fair try . it be good enough to be engage for maybe a couple dozen hour , so by some folk 's standard I get my money 's worth . but I would have more fun if I would just keep play civilization iv , and I would recommend that game instead -lrb- or quite a few other -rrb- to anyone consider civilization V. +488 Video_Games POS 5 I originally play this game at my Aunt 's house , and immediately everyone start participate , and try to solve the puzzle with we . I always have great memory watch the show grow up , and this game truly capture the very essence of what be so fun about the game show . one of my favorite add-in in this game , be that you can use you own Wii character , and by hold the `` 1 '' or `` 2 '' button while hit one of the arrow button , you can animate you Wii . the emotion they display be hilarious ! the best part about this game be it be ability to unite people together . my parent come over , and have not play a single video game since the 1970 's Pac-Man day , and they actually pick up the Wii remote and start to play along with I ! believe I , if my parent be willing to play and have a good time , then anyone will enjoy this game ! +386 Video_Games NEG 1 I have be a avid fan of the previous four civilization game and be very shock to find in order just to install Civ 5 I need to subscribe to the service of steam . I have dealings with this company once before and find they gaming service do not always work and get in touch with they support be next to impossible . the game description say `` initial installation require one-time internet connection for Steam authentication '' but even after authentication it require Steam to load so by `` one-time '' I guess it mean once every time you try to play the game .

I have find that if you change the setting on you display and disable explorer it seem to work ok . but the compatability mode suck ! color be off as it say .

I fall in love with the series and from that point on a common Christmas present for I be acquire Parts II , III , iv and v when they come out . unfortunatly I still have the old Tandy when Part V come out and I have to purchase a new computer to enjoy the game . since I play these game since I be a kid I feel that I have some idea about it and a lot of feeling towards this series . the truth be I love it and over the year I have use various program to play my old game on Windows xp . this release disappoint I for several reason which I will list here : 1 . the original version of Kings Quest 1 be not available on this release . that ruin this entire box set becuase the interface between the remake version from 1990 and the original Kings Quest 2 -lrb- both of which be include in this box set -rrb- be so different that it ruin the flow of the game . include the original version would have take up very little space on the CD 's and make this a complete set . this be akin to own a set of movie a owning all of they except for the first film . the first movie be almost always the best one . I think it be a mistake to do it in this fashion . 2 . I do agree with many reviewer on Amazon that this set need to include the other game which be include in King Quest Collection 2 . that a big disappointment . 3 . booklet and extra . the best thing about the old version of Kings Quest be that you get a nice box , nice booklet and information about the series . the fact that that do not even take the time to reprint one of the old booklet be very unfortunate . 4 . I do not care for the box art . it be a poor take off of the original box of Kings Quest III . 5 . the copy protection in Kings Quest iv and v be never remove . grant it would have be difficult to edit the game I think it would have be nice if it be not present . +954 Video_Games POS 4 a awesome game that be load of fun !

I just admire the Worgen so much that I quickly become obsess with interest ; however , I keep wonder why my friend would pay ninety-five dollar and a fifteen dollar fee each month for Cataclysm . so week pass by after New year day and that be when I discover a advirtisement of the game from Amazon . I check the video , picture etc. . I soon realize that my interest be short live , when I learn that I would have to pay for all four game as a whole -lrb- just for the one game -rrb- . not to mention the fifteen dollar monthly fee for a battle.net account . the entire expansion set have a staggering , one-hundred dollar price tag . that be not all . if you do not have the right computer , it will cost you one-thousand buck or more for a Mac ! as a blizzard consumer I would suggest that you try they free 10 day trial offer , pick out one you favorite character and make it jump off a cliff ... why ? because it make absolutely no sense to pay for something so expensive . I be very disappointed and unsatisfied . no offense ; I apologize . but as a reasonable gamer I choose to not buy this game until the price be fair . this item be obviously more of a luxury than a game that be why I give up on purchase it . +791 Video_Games POS 5 I buy this for my 5 and 7 year old girl , and we have 5 boy between 4 and 8 at we house and all of they love this game . very fun and aerobic , and all the adult love it too . I recommend it ! Great for family night ! +410 Video_Games POS 4 I own a Wii and a xbox 360 . I be come to the realization that the reason why I have these two console be not just because I want the exclusively licensed game content for each -lrb- such as Zelda on the Wii or Halo on the xbox -rrb- , but it be become more and more apparent to I that the Xbox be my single-player console , and the Wii be my multiplayer console . I tend to play immersive first-person single player game that take advantage of the hd graphic and audio power of the xbox 360 , while the Wii be generally use to play multiplayer game , especially when we have friend over . this game will not disappoint on that front . the action be frantic and hilarious . the microgame consist of dozen -lrb- Nintendo claim around 200 in total -rrb- of different task center around a number of `` form '' or start position . for instance , the first form you will encounter be the Remote Control , and you hold the Wiimote just like you be hold the tv 's remote control . from this position you might be task with accomplish anything from toss some stir-fry in a saute pan to flip pancake , or shooting can or even bounce a tennis ball on a racquet . there be form like `` the Handlebars '' where you hold the Wiimote crosswise with both hand , or `` the Diner '' where you hook up the nunchuk attachment and hold the two controller like a fork and knife . Pretty much every microgame be time to last just a few seconds so you have to think - and act ! - quickly . the more you play , the better you 'll recognize the challenge , but that do not mean they be easy ! each type of microgame generally have at least three level of difficulty , and in addition to get harder you 'll typically find that either you have less time as you get farther into a series of challenge . the single-player game be really just about introduce the various form and unlock different activity , culminate in unlock the multiplayer game . you should be able to complete the single-player portion in a hour or two to unlock multiplayer mode . Multiplayer mode offer additional game -lrb- two to start , and play through each one unlock another game , which unlock another , for a total of 7 or 8 multiplayer style that accommodate anywhere from 2-12 player , depend on the game . this be where what I see as the first real shortcoming of Smooth move come in ... you can only use one Wiimote at a time . it seem pointless to force player to pass the Wiimote back and forth -lrb- especially since the action be usually happen fairly quickly , and Nintendo insist that you must wear the wrist safety strap , which can make it sometimes difficult to get ready in time for you turn -rrb- . allow the use of up to 4 wiimote would be much preferable . if you be not into the multiplayer experience , then you will definitely want to pass on this game . it be a fun game to run through , but after a few hour you would be bore out of you mind . this be primarily a party-oriented game for 2-4 player -lrb- though as I say , some game allow for up to as many as 12 player take turn -rrb- . it be kind of like the popular card game Uno . . not so much fun for two people , and much better with four - the more people you get play the more fun it be for everyone . a lot of the game cause you to do crazy thing that everyone will be laugh about so it be not a lot of just sit around , wait for you turn . +425 Video_Games POS 5 this be a gift for we grandson for Christmas , and we becamae the best Grands EVER !!! he have want this game since it come out , and this be a great price . delivery be fast and as promise and lot of fun on Christmas morning ! +564 Video_Games POS 5 this update to the d be a significant one due to the online support not the graphic . I know that it have be advertise as amazing 3d which it do have but I feel that the Street pass and spot pass feature be truely amazing along with the pedometer it be interesting to know that there be people out there with it and the Street Plaza find mii game be really fun . the marketplace be great the next step be have full game for download and we will probably see that in the next update to the handheld system . one con : the battery be absulutely terrible ! it last about 5 hour a little less with 3d on and high brightness , you dont need to have these option on but even if you put power saver on and brightness on 1 , the most it will last on standby be about a day and a half with occational gameplay . OVERALL : Great game console . kid love it and they get to share more thing with they friend . +130 Video_Games POS 4 I have a ps3 and this game look great . the detail in this game make it even better ... THIS be a must buy +28 Video_Games POS 5 I have not use this for a xbox but instead for a pc and it work perfectly . the first time you plug it in the driver install quickly . most game automatically map the button but you can always change they around if need be . the cord be also sufficiently long . highly recommend . +379 Video_Games NEG 1 I wait a long time after release before buy this game , hope that the numerous bug would have be work out . unfortunately it still crash constantly , and once you have a corrupt save game you be screw . if it work right it might be a good game . +306 Video_Games NEG 1 the reason I get this game be because of its overall concept of be able to explore a dangerous zone on earth . as I grow up in Eastern Europe , the atmosphere remind I at my experience during the communist era . I have play many FPS game and recently finish F.E.A. R , Doom 3 , hl2 , and Far Cry . the graphic , AI and overall game-play in s.t.a.l.k.e.r be pretty weak compare with any of the game mention above . the aus of the enemy be very poor , the game-play be cumbersome as you have to micromanage very many little detail , and read a lot of dialog text be annoying . during play , you will have to spend a large amount of time in inventory . the load time be very slow due to what it seem to be poor caching and memory management . the reason I believe that to be the case be that it even take a long time to go back to a recent quick-save . the slowness and other bug I encounter make I apply a patch that be release recently . the new patch break all my save game and I have to use a unlimited health trainer to speed up the process and get back to where I be . -lrb- waste about 2 hour -rrb- overall the game play be poor , and the support be terrible . +987 Video_Games POS 5 I have a ball ! co-op mode be a nice surprise as well . just by it , you 'll love it . and you get free cake at the end ... +166 Video_Games POS 4 fun game , easy to learn how to play and several play option for easy -lrb- multiple choice -rrb- to difficult -lrb- 3 letter word finish -rrb- or hard -lrb- 5 letter word finish -rrb- . only negative . if you play the game a lot the clue will eventually repeat . if you be over 40 like I that probably will not matter much anyway ! +527 Video_Games POS 5 very fun game . I buy it for my nephew and he love it . of course , he have to have the 2nd one now . +406 Video_Games POS 5 product as described , I receive a immediate email with the code . I would RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT for PURCHASE AS OPPOSED to BUYING IT in the store +359 Video_Games NEG 2 First : this be not a original Sony Controller !! you can see it and you feel it , when you play with it . over all its ok , for this price !! +38 Video_Games POS 5 when Bungie announce that they be make Halo 2 , a lot of people think that they be just fix up the original one and add thing . Bungie then inform the public that it be build it all over again and this be much more than just a re-make . the game design and control be identical to the original , while the graphic be bump up a few notch . the texture take a few seconds to load sometimes mid cut-scene , but it be a improvement . you can definately tell the same people design the level in this game that do the last , as there be one or two that be pretty redundant and stretch probably longer than they need to . but overall , this game have many new thing to offer . First off , duel weilding weapon . you can still only store one weapon that you be not use , but the current one , if it be hold by one hand , can leave room for you to pick up another one handed weapon . in this case , you can fire both simultaniously or in whatever combination you want -lrb- alternate and such -rrb- because you right trigger control you right weapon , and leave trigger now control the left one -lrb- as oppose to the grenade , like normal -rrb- . this add much to the game on its own . second , you have a plethora of new weapon to play with . the covenant arsenal have be expand exponentially , and you can now wield the energy sword -lrb- a new favorite , as you could imagine -rrb- . you also get the fuel rod projector , which be the big gun that be graft onto the arm of the hunter - the covenant equivalent to the rocket launcher . it have a covenant equivalent to a sniper rifle , and a carbine also . Third , you can hi-jack vehicle . this be a major plus , but definately a skill to be learn and master . this will make multiplayer much more interesting . also , you can climb on enemy tank , pop the cover open , and drop a grenade in there to cook the pilot without waste a rocket like you have to before . fourth , the story be much more complex . there be more cutscene , and another goodie that be leave out of the previous review -lrb- or at least the one I have read -rrb- . while the story do not flow nearly as easily as the last game , there be essentially two story happen simultaneously . I be guess the story will combine later -lrb- I be only halfway through now -rrb- , but beside the one with the Master Chief , you play the Arbitor in the other . you be the disgraced elite that be in charge of the fleet in the first game . you failure to bring the Master Chief down and preserve the Halo have bring you much pain , and the suicidal position of the Arbitor . you play alongside the Covenant military as he , and run mission against Covenant rebel and other thing . this give much exposure into how the Covenant work and develop they much more so than the last game . two variation to the original classic weapon must be note . the pistol do not have a scope on it anymore , which will definately balance multiplayer game by limit those head-shot guru who never fight up close . also , the previous Assault Rifle , with its automatic fire and 60 round magazine be long go . in its place be the battle Rifle , with a 2x scope , but only a three round burst fire mode , and a 32 shoot magazine . sadly enough , take elite out with that be much harder because you can not bum-rush they while empty you magazine . the three round burst definetly slow down the effectiveness of the rifle in short range combat , which be probably why they introduce the sub machine gun , which be a high rate of fire , caseless , one handed weapon . of course , now you have to have both of they for the same advantage you have with the single Assault Rifle before , but it be a minor setback . I do not have access to XBOX Live where I be at currently , but I be sure this will be one of the greatest live experience to date . I know how much fun the orinigal game be in multiplayer , so this one , with its improvement , will be much better . all in all , the developer have make a game with the same addictive attribute of Halo , but with much more replayability , mass multiplayer option , and enough improvement to fill a football stadium . all of the other fpss I have will have to take a backseat to this . there be just nothing that can compete . +492 Video_Games NEU 3 as soon as I receive it , I open it up and connect it to my pc and my ps2 controller . I install the driver , and instantly it show up -lrb- do not think the driver be necessary -rrb- . then I realize that the analog stick be not be pick up . that become the only issue with this . every other key work BUT the analog stick ... for $ 5 , I guess I would expect there to be some sort of issue . you may be better off spend $ 10 more and get something else . I wish I have get the xbox 360 controller to pc adapter that be make by Microsoft . . if anyone else have a similar issue where the analog stick do not work with this adapter and figure out how to fix it , feel free to reply to this review ! +799 Video_Games NEG 1 WORST GAME EVER . this game be horrid . you can drive truck off the map , into white nothingness , and you can drive through building . not to mention the fact that you can not drive over bridge -lrb- you truck fall through the bridge -rrb- . to call this one of the worst game ever would be give it too much credit . accord to the box , you have to evade the law and deliver you goods . the thing be , there be no police officer to evade and no goods to deliver . the only thing you do be race against a AI opponent that never leave the start line . Yep , it be true . when you start a game , the AI opponent who be suppose to race against you , just sit there at the start line for the whole race . you be winner ! the game scream that at you when you finish a race against the nonexistant opponent . the only `` human '' who could enjoy this game be a dumb 2-year old who be instantly amaze at truck drive off the road . Stay away from this game at all cost . you be winner ! +765 Video_Games POS 5 this version do not use the nunchuk . yay ! I have give up on game that use the nunchuk so this be a great change . the workout be vigorous , and there be some new fun activity that make you forget how much you be squat and jump . I agree with other who say that it be irritating that the remote and balance board lose contact and have to be turn back on even though they be not use for most activity . +297 Video_Games POS 5 I 'll start off with this . if you love Splinter Cell conviction you will like\/love this game . I be a third person shooter fan , when it come to shooter . the game-play be similar to Splinter Cell conviction . the control to get into and out of cover be a little tricky to manage at first , but I be so stick on conviction for so long I expect the same and it be not . there be a focus fire system , similar to the mark and execute system , but the enemy have to be in front of you for it to work , unlike conviction . you can have a max of three and need to do a hand to hand take down to get one . if you a die hard fp fanboy , -lrb- which seem to be 99 % of the xbox crowd -rrb- well you wont like it . its the only reason I can see for the multiple negative review here . the drive sequence be amazingly fun , and the drive smooth , as expect from a game maker who make racing game primarily . the graphic be a bit tone down for multiplayer , but I be okay with that if it make for smoother game-play , and it do . the graphic be not n64 quality as I have see other reviewer compare it too , I have no idea where this comparison come from . my one major complaint be the complete lack of gadgets\/grenades and no crouch . I can not understand how this vital feature of a partial stealth game could be miss . stand up while go from cover to cover in the face of full gunfire make this game ridiculously difficult at time . you use you smartphone to scan and it go fuzzy when move , similar to the sonar goggles of conviction . but overll this be only my second game that I be try to complete the cheevo 's on , the other be scconviction . the multiplayer lobby be still active and its possible to get the mp cheevos\/trophy 's as well . well worth the current price of $ 18.00 , once you get over the lack of crouching in this game . +238 Video_Games POS 5 this review be come from a 32 year old woman who prefer simple side-scroller like Mario . I usually do not like RPG 's , but this game have such great review I decide to give it a try . plus there be a limited number of 3d game out there at the time and I want to expand my library . firstly , you should know that this game barely utilize the 3d function of the 3d . it be only use in the opening scene and when you fuse demon . I find this very disappointing at first , but the sheer awesomeness of the game soon make I forget about the 3d . I do not play video game much now that I be a adult and do not have a ton of free time , but this game have I addict ! I have not be this addict since pokemon first come out . the story be fantastic and keep you engage , they teach you the control gradually so it be not too complicate to learn , and the demon auction and fusion keep the ` addictive collector ' in I satiated . the voice acting be terrific ; usually you do not get this much dialogue in a game . I like that you do not have to read all of the dialogue if you do not want to ; just sit back and let the character talk . I will say there be a learning curve as with most game . after have to re-start 2 time already , I have learn to save my progress multiple time just in case I make a stupid decision when fuse demon or buy the wrong demon or something . it be a pain to start over after put in 8 hour of gameplay . it can be easy to ` paint yourself into a corner ' so to speak if you do not know what you be do at first . so I hope my review help you decide if you want to purchase this game . really , I do not think you can go wrong with this one ! +215 Video_Games POS 5 mass effect 3 improve upon the combat of the second game slightly , the graphic of the second game , and drastically improve up weapon selection and customization . combat be get closer and closer to other expert 3rd person shoot like uncharted and Gears of War but still do not feel quite as good . the story and voice acting be top notch although if you playing just the 3rd game and not import a character you miss out on ton of option . you constantly force into the worst possible situation with path selection that would have be avoid if you have build relationship with ally in the previous game . you wont even notice the difference unless you watch someone who have a import character . the previous game help in huge unexpected way with most of the game situation and make ton of minus bonus to remind you of everything you have ever do . so its a great game by itself and as a 3rd part of the trilogy its a amazing game . Multiplayer be similar to Killzones multiplayer with random objective poppp up as you play though . although you only fighting wave of AI enemy with a group of 4 there be no Player verse player multiplayer . you have to capture point , download datum , survive wave , assassinate target , make it to evacuation point the whole time fight wave of random spawning soldier from select enemy type from the main game . you then use money earn for each kill to buy pack that contain random item , alien races\/classes to play as , or weapons\/weapon mod . it be very well do and a requirement for the best outcome in single player . play improve the performance of you troops in single player and be the only way to get a strong enough force for the absolute best end although it may be possible with a import character with every quest do i do not know for sure . I do have to mention performance problem on the PS3 version . some movie sequence be choppy on the PS3 but for the most part the gameplay will be pretty close to constant 30 fp until you in intense fight . some level later on do run a little poor with some room run slightly slower constantly even with no fight kinda remind I of how the PS3 version of Crysis 2 be . this be a huge step up over the original mass effect performance so if you have play the whole series on console you can still look back and laugh at how bad it use to be . end good but do not explain the aftermath good enough . but free dlc that further explain the situation for the galaxy have be announce so there be not much to complain about there . +870 Video_Games POS 5 product be great and very indepth ton of hour of fun by yourself or in a group !!! +342 Video_Games NEG 1 I wish I have read the review more closely before purchase Skyrim for a Windows PC . I have a top of the line win7 professional machine with a i7 processor , 12 gb of RAM and a very good graphic card -lrb- not top of the line , but darn good -rrb- . the graphic in Skyrim look amazing , but the damn mouse movement suck ! it be herky-jerkey and nearly impossible to control . it overshoot , undercut and make movement seem like you character be a drunk amble down the street . it literally hurt my eye and have give I a headache . I simply can not play the game . I give up . the rest of you have fun ... I be simply too old for this crap ! +680 Video_Games NEG 1 this game be not worth the hassle , the DRM punish customer by make the game unusable . also , the game itself be very shallow and do not live up to the massive hype . avoid this one like the plague . +256 Video_Games POS 5 great game , plus replay the game be just as good . the bonus item that you get to use be very good . New weapon , new magic and a fire item that add extra damage to you blade . if you love God of War , you will really enjoy the story of Kratos search for he brother . +124 Video_Games NEU 3 when I first get roller coaster tycoon I play it for 5 hour . the I play it for the whole summer ! but then it start get boring . vandalism everywhere , everyone be throw up everywhere and you can not build you own ride because it get too hard .

Unfortunatly have not work for week . hopefully , there be a return policy for defective merchandise . +941 AlarmClock NEU 3 have the polished bronze look of certain coffin handle . the only thing I do not like about this nifty little clock be that if you balance it on a pair of paperback with glossy cover and place it on you night table , you can hear it tick . also , the feature where you press a little button on top and illuminate the dial in the middle of the night , the little flash of light that appear be kind of like the blast of light that occur in `` wicked '' when the green witch disappear from the page . +682 AlarmClock POS 4 after spend quite a long time shopping on-line and in the store -lrb- I return two travel clock after get they home -rrb- , I purchase this travel clock . it be very inexpensive , extremely easy to use -lrb- no manual necessary -rrb- , and work very well . the alarm be neither too loud nor too soft , it do not collapse when open -lrb- like two other travel alarm I purchase -rrb- , it be make of lightweight plastic -lrb- reasonably durable -- very sturdy compare to some three time the price -rrb- , have a unlimited 4-minute snooze feature , and light up when the snooze button be depress . it would have be nice if the number stay light at night and the lighting feature be extremely dim , at best . nevertheless , it be very lightweight and measure only 3-1\/2 '' x 2-1\/2 '' x 1\/2 '' -- can fit anywhere , even in a pocket . the only other possible downside be that it use a 1.5 v button battery instead of a standard aa or aaa . nevertheless , I like it enough to use it at night in place of the abrasively loud alarm clock I previously use , which my kid have nightmare about . +509 AlarmClock POS 5 I do not really understand some of the negative review regard this product . it be light and compact ... you can take it with you on trip and just play it with battery . there be twenty different sound , and quite frankly some of they be unnecessary if you be look for relax sound -lrb- such as City , Heartbeat , Steam Train , and thunderstorm -rrb- , but there be plenty of relax sound as well . you can play the sound indefinitely , or you can set it to run for 15 , 30 , 45 , or 60 minute . as a bonus , you can plug it in and it can act as a clock and alarm as well . when you consider the price and all that you get , this be a really good deal . I be buy another one . +347 AlarmClock NEG 1 while I choose this clock for it be look , I still want a good clock to use as a alarm clock . the clock be very flimsy , and be easy to knock over . also the alarm would not wake anyone up . +669 AlarmClock POS 5 Star Wars and just learn to read time be a great combination for any child to love this storm trooper alarm clock . right now Stormtroopers be my grandson 's favorite Star Wars character . so this be perfect . and it work too . Great when mom say , clean up you room in five minute , you Stormtrooper clock now say 12:05 at 12:10 , I will be back : -rrb- +504 AlarmClock NEG 2 when I first stumble across this clock , I be elated ! year ago I have a original that be damage in a move . I purchase the version in green , it look great . sadly , the clock movement make a very annoying click or tick sound that prevent I from go to sleep , and I be almost deaf in one ear . within a very short time , the alarm bulb burn out . the light dial stop work . then the clock begin to loose time . after four month , it quit completely . very beautiful clock , but very poor quality . +906 AlarmClock NEG 1 I need a portable battery power alarm clock that have a illuminate dial . chose this clock be a big mistake . it be time can only be illuminate by press one of several confusing un-labeled button twice , so you can not just see the time in a dark room . the alarm mechanism have mal-function on several occasion , usually at the worst time . the `` nature sound '' be actually cheap sound and annoy . the badly translate direction be worthless . this be the perfect gift for someone you detest . +305 AlarmClock NEG 2 the control be good and I like the way the display light up when you press the snooze light . but this be not really a good travel alarm , it be too big and clunky . and the alarm be not very loud . I buy this clock because some of the other review say that the alarm be loud , but it be not . it might work as a regular bedside alarm if you be a light sleeper . I end up buy a little Casio travel alarm , it be so much better , much smaller size and loud alarm . +262 AlarmClock POS 4 this little clock be exactly what I expect and seem to work fine , so far . the blue backlight be nice . one small complaint - I do not think qa be top on the list with the maufacturer - on mine , the snooze button be upside down ! it still work , just look a bit odd . but what can you expect for the price ? +812 AlarmClock NEG 1 the radio also make a annoying ` pop ' when you turn it on or the alarm kick in . to set the time and alarm setting take forever . just a horrible purchase that I make , do not make the same mistake ! +652 AlarmClock POS 4 my son love he new clock ! it work great and the leg and arm be movable . the only thing I wish it have be a back light that stay on at all time . +741 AlarmClock NEG 1 alarm do not work . . I guess I get what I pay for . I do not realize how small the clock actually be . +122 AlarmClock POS 5 let 's just start out this review say that I be a geek . that be say , i love this clock . I mean , its darth vader , and he tell time ! what it be not to love ! it seem well make , but out of plastic , all the arm and leg move , and you can rearrange darth to how you like . to see the time clearly , you have to push on darth vader head , and the screen light up red . if you do not push on he head , the time can be a bit hard to see . but besides that , i lovelovelove my darth vader clock . beware , other nerdy friend may try to steal you darth vader clock . you have be warn . +751 AlarmClock POS 5 we be look for a very small , but highly reliable , travel alarm clock and be a little concerned about order one sight unseen . however we could not have be happier . it have now travel with we across the US as well as overseas and it have make sure we be awaken at the right time every day . we would highly recommend this alarm . +275 AlarmClock POS 4 these be nice and funky . we buy one use from somebody who put athletic tape over the speaker -lrb- on the back -rrb- to muffle the bird noise -- a good idea , it be plenty loud enough on `` low '' and with the tape . if you be a deep sleeper , I be sure the unmuffled `` high '' setting will open you eye . +846 AlarmClock POS 4 I dig the clock ! Easy to read and straight forward . I be look for a small clock to put in my bathroom . I like modern , retro or sleek design in general and this fit the bill . I do not realize it be sound activate when I buy it , but it lend to the simple look of it . I have to laugh when I flush the toilet and it turn on . +477 AlarmClock NEU 3 this be a very nice little clock , especially for the price . I have no trouble get it to pick up a signal when initially set it up , and it have have no problem hold onto a signal wherever I have it in my house . I have not really have any trouble with any of the thing the other reviewer have note , except for one , and it be a pretty major flaw : the clock beep -lrb- loudly -rrb- every time you press a button . this include the button you use to turn on the light in the middle of the night , which I never use since it would disturb my husband . I decide not to return it because it meet my need for a travel clock\/alarm , and I really like that it be a atomic clock . I find it easy to check the alarm time setting , and have not have any issue with accidentally change the time zone . +321 AlarmClock NEG 1 my Timex Indiglow travel alarm finally die , so I buy this Elgin clock specifically because it have the blue light feature . I need to be able to hit the sleep-button and see the time at night . right out of the box , everything work except the blue light . I will be return it for a refund . Amazon be great ! crap make in China be not !! +841 AlarmClock POS 5 I love that I do not have to set my alarm every night anymore . I be sure my husband agree as the alarm clock I have purchase to replace my alarm clock that die make irritating beep to indicate success at change any setting . I tend to keep thing for a long time -lrb- have the alarm clock that die for over 20 year -rrb- , so I be very happy to find something I be sure I can live with hopefully for another 20 . I do have to switch from wake to the radio to use the beep alarm because I be ignore the radio - but that be just a personal problem . so far , this be a great alarm . +880 AlarmClock NEG 1 after read all the positive review on this clock , and because it be make by Elgin , I decide to purchase it . the FIRST one we receive run 15 minute slow every 24 hour , so I go to the trouble of call , repackage and return it to Amazon for a replacement . the SECOND clock work perfectly for all of a month , and then just stop work all together . I think it have run the battery out because of the night glow feature -lrb- which we keep at the lowest setting -rrb- , so I change the battery but that be not the problem -- the clock be simply dead . I be incredibly disappoint . and due to the fact that I do not immediately write into Amazon to return the second clock , now I find that my `` return window '' have close and I can not get my money back . somehow that just do not sit well with I at all . obviously , this clock have problem . consequently , I vehemently recommend that you do NOT PURCHASE THIS clock . I wish we could use a cord clock , but we power go out often enough to make it impossible , which be why I choose a battery operate clock in the first place . this clock be not the victim of rough handling -lrb- on we end , anyway -rrb- , and be never knock off the nightstand or drop , etc. . it just sit there undisturbed until it arbitrarily stop work altogether . unhappy AMAZON customer . +158 AlarmClock POS 5 so far everything be as describe in the product description . will come back and write more if anything turn out negative . +218 AlarmClock POS 5 I purchase this clock for my 95 old year mother . she like it be ease of use and it be durability . also , it be a attractive clock . my mom be very happy with it . +811 AlarmClock POS 5 first , I want to say that you should \* always \* have a battery-powered travel alarm clock in you luggage , with a spare battery . this be one of those basic must-haves for travel . I have stay at hotel which provide no clock at all . some have a clock with no alarm . some have a plug-in clock , and then the power go out . some have a really complex clock that you can not figure out how to set the alarm on ! by always have one with you , you be sure that you wake up on time and keep track of you schedule . there be plug-in one , but you have the problem of converter in foreign country , of find a outlet that be usefully near the bed , and again of power outage . it be much better to go with a battery power one . I like the fold-up design of this one . when it be shut , the display and button be all protect . you luggage can go through the most gorilla-like of baggage claim system and come out unscathed . the unit be very easy to use . a simple slider set the alarm on or off , and you get a visual indicator when it be on . you slide another lever to set the alarm or time . there be a snooze button which also turn on the light temporarily . you can set the hour and minute separately , which be a great improvement over system that make you cycle slowly through 23 hour to wrap around to the time you want . down side ? well , it be cheap plastic - but then again that make it really light . I really wish it be in a always-lit state for late night glance , but that would probably drain the battery quickly . so I think in general it be a great unit for the price . I have use it for quite a while and it be always come in handy . even the time I have not need it , it be be nice to know it be there in the corner of the bag +964 AlarmClock NEG 2 the display be difficult to read in Daytime -lrb- black on gray -rrb- unless you press on Vader 's head for a 5 sec backlight . if the display be like any normal digital clock with blue\/red number , it would be 5 star as the body detail be great . +499 AlarmClock NEG 2 so all I want be a cheap battery alarm clock for a camper . this thing eat up a battery every few day - at least once or twice a week . it work great otherwise - maybe I receive a `` lemon '' but I can not keep feed it so will have to get another brand . +51 AlarmClock POS 5 buy this clock at Fred Meyers tonight on sale . $ 7.99 . if it hold up , it will make a good travel clock . the alarm be just loud enough , and annoying enough to wake one up if they go to bed sober . the pic show the light but you need to `` pinch '' the button to make it lite up . it have control for each select option . but not fore and back , so if you go past just keep go . but I buy it so I could see the time . my XM radio time be only 6 mm high so I need something else this 25 mm display be what I need . and when the power go out it will wake I because it do not give up till the button be hit . +464 AlarmClock NEG 2 my mistake , I do not look on dimension of this clock before I buy it . it be bulky , would be very nice piece of equipment if would be much smaller . besides , use two battery aa , first set be go completely after one month , I be late to work because of that . second set I have already two month look forward to have another unexpected oversleeping -lrb- my last alarm clock be go on one battery 1 year -rrb- +494 AlarmClock POS 5 I buy this little alarm clock for my wife many year ago . the original die and because it be easy to use , easy to pack and work forever on one set of battery she want another just like the old one . find it here ... +877 AlarmClock NEU 3 I be a time geek . my watch be a Citizen Eco-Drive Titanium solar power `` radio '' watch that keep accurate time to a fraction of a second . I have two `` atomic '' wall clock that stay synchronize via radio signal . I buy the Chaney as it have nice size led number and would be perfect for the entertainment center since we new dvr do not have its own clock display . however , it lose about 2 minute a month and need to be reset constantly . I email the manufacturer and they say that be `` normal '' . the clock on my wall oven and microwave be more accurate ! if you be happy with know `` about '' what time it be , this clock be fine . if you want to know the RIGHT time like I , you 'll hate it ! I be give it to my wife to use in she sewing room . +650 AlarmClock NEU 3 the alarm on-off switch be combine with the switch for set the time and alarm . not a big problem , but when you be half asleep it would be easy to change the time or alarm when turn the alarm on or off . also , the switch feel cheap . it be ok but next time I would go with a different clock . +336 AlarmClock NEG 1 the clock look lovely , but it be break when I receive it , and not crack or anything that would have happen in shipping . the hour hand be not connect to the rest of the clock . I be tick . +112 AlarmClock POS 5 clock be very easy to see , set itself , and arrive exactly as describe . Perfect ! +496 AlarmClock NEG 1 this item be a waste of time and money . the light didnt even work and the sound of the alarm be too low . +186 AlarmClock POS 5 the Lego Toy Story Buzz Lightyear alarm clock be definitely worth the price . it be basically a giant version of he Lego form in perfect detail . he hand , arm , and leg be able to be pose . the clock be a digital display that be on he chest . the best part be that you set the alarm by press the button on he spacesuit and he helmet be the snooze button . it even come with battery . I highly recommend this clock and also suggest purchase the Woody clock as well . +804 AlarmClock NEG 2 perhaps I be the only one who have to change battery every four week ? cool clock , but I would like to see longer battery life . must be a wookie inside play video game , the way this thing drain battery . I be tired of it . Gonna let the damn thing sit on a shelf with no life in it . +575 AlarmClock NEU 3 I buy the attachment and it trigger my other brighter lamp which work like a charm . the clock 's light , so-called brighter , be a joke . that original clock bulb sometimes come on , and 99 % of the time , do not come on at all . the control to just turn on the light in a dark room mean to touch the second to the bottom right seed size button and hold it till it brighten up . so that be annoying . there be not many choice out there and from what I have see its adequate for I with the attachment . without it , this so call new brighter bulb would not do a thing for I . and I have it right next to my bed . so unless you be face it , how will you know its on ? the term `` bright '' be relative . for I it be - at its brightest - as bright as a candle . +64 AlarmClock POS 4 Great little clock , compact , easy to read , but not loud enough to wake I up ! probably fine for people with no hearing loss . +17 AlarmClock NEG 2 I own the previous version of this alarm . I be hop to upgrade to one that would allow for a mode where there would be no alarm on weekend . my version have I go through a long menu to turn it off so I just wake up every weekend morning at 4:30 & 5:00 . the new version have the same problem . I also see , from another review , that you can no longer wake up to a different sound than you fall asleep to . I guess I 'll just keep wait till they figure this out . +630 AlarmClock POS 5 I give this to my grandmother , who be nearly blind . it be the only clock she can actually see . I also like that it set itself automatically when you plug it in , so she do not have to worry about change it for daylight savings time or anything like that . I be not sure about the alarm feature , since she do not use they , but as a clock for someone visually impair it work very well . I end up buy she a second one for another room . +40 AlarmClock POS 5 many portable alarm clock have light dial that fill the room with blue , green or red light all night , which have be show to interfere with normal sleep . this alarm clock have a dial with a soft adjustable backlight that can be set to a very low level . moreover , if you need a stronger backlight momentarily , you can get a much brighter purple one simply by press the button on top . additionally , I much prefer the Analog face to a digital one , since it be easier to read late at night . highly recommend . +311 AlarmClock POS 4 small cube when you clap turn on it s a baterry saver very clean like it so far so good classic +378 AlarmClock POS 5 my 9 year old love this clock that we hide in a treasure hunt for Easter . he play with it , and it can take it . the arm and leg move , but it be sturdy . the alarm work well . we be happy with this purchase . +780 AlarmClock NEG 1 at night the digital display totally light up the room it be so bright . I have to turn it face down . the sound be tinny and grainy , enough to make they totally un-soothing , they start abruptly so they be a bit shocking to wake up to also . have to return +266 AlarmClock POS 5 this be a great new product . it be so soothing to listen to and relax you to sleep . the initial set up be as easy as ABC . I absolute the sharper image ec-b100 sound Soother Alarm clock +269 AlarmClock POS 5 I purchase this clock last year for exactly that , no tick sound , no light dial , and numeral instead of digital display , very old fashion . I have the same old reliable analog clock since I be a teenager and it finally die last Christmas , so I be look for something similar . I be a light sleeper and it suit my purpose just fine for the price . +447 AlarmClock NEG 1 water get into this two day after I use it in the shower , and the clock be no longer visible . i leave it unused for two week , and the 6 c-battery have run out . believe it or not , I believe I actually throw my receipt away when I get it ! -lrb- that be why I be anonymous . -rrb- +343 AlarmClock POS 5 this be the best , best alarm clock ever . no one can wake I up but this can . the vibration feel very alarming so I wake up although sometimes it do take a while to wake I up because I be that extra tired . the light that come on be alarming as well because it be red and blink . get these ! you will not regret it . +525 AlarmClock POS 4 good for travel though button to operate alarm be small and unlit . tough to tell if alarm be on without have to look really close -lrb- and turn on a light -rrb- . +818 AlarmClock NEG 2 the clock stop once for about twenty minute every few hour . it have fresh battery and the hand be not stick together . the second hand still go around . save the package in case it need to go back . all other feature work ok , but that be meaningless when the clock can not keep time . bl Update : figure I have nothing to lose , I give it a sharp rap on the kitchen counter . it Works Now and keep accurate time !! +827 AlarmClock POS 5 I love everything about this clock . the illuminate dial be so nice to see when you wake up in the middle of the night and give you something to look at if you be have trouble sleep ! I like the volume of the ringer but I usually wake from just the flash light . +817 AlarmClock NEG 2 I be happy that this product be just as I think it would look and the size I want , but it gain 2 hour of time overnight . the return process so far have be very easy and efficient . this process be not complete as I just discover the problem and initiate the return . this be a Christmas gift . +375 AlarmClock NEG 1 I buy this item from UAE and when I recieve the clock it do ' work at all . I could return the item but the shipment charge would become more than the product price itself . I usually buy goods from Amazon but this be the first time that it be break . I be really upset about it because it be a gift for one of my friend and I be realy embarrass when it do ` nt work . I difinitely do not recommend this product to anybody . +853 AlarmClock POS 4 yeah I just recieve my sweetheart sonic boom alarm clock and it actually come 2 day early -lrb- yeah -rrb- and be right on time since I have to work midnight tonight -lrb- yuck -rrb- . anyway , I plug it in and place the bed vibrate thing between my matress and box spring and go to sleep . I awake think either the house be fall down or someone literally be shake I ! consider I live a lone and be a little bit of a scardy cat , I dont know if I want to wake up terrorfied ! but the goal be accomplish I be awaken all adrenalin rush and frazzle but I make it to work ... early . the sweetheart clock look be cute but the plastic seem cheap but how much damage do a alarm clock need to take ? the control be small which be good that force u to get up , turn on a light to turn it off . the display be bright but have a dimmer switch and it flash when the alarm go off . I have never own a alarm clock that I actually use , since I be traditionally a light sleeper but now with my hectic lifestyle and the deep sleep deprive nap I take for rest I need something like this to wake up . I think they be a great price on amazon and they work and its cute . Doesnt get better then that do it ! +327 AlarmClock NEU 3 unfortunately , I can not review the quality of the light alarm on this clock because mine arrive and do not work . however , I can tell you that the sound alarm on this clock be SUPER LOUD !!! because mine be defective , I arrange to return it to Amazon because it tell I that a replacement be not available . before I could even return it , the Westclox people contact I and offer I a replacement or refund . before I could even respond to they they have issue I a refund and tell I I do not need to return the clock . this be great customer service . also , delivery fulfillment through Amazon be very fast , as usual . +535 AlarmClock NEU 3 as other have note , this be a no frill alarm clock that be easy to set and do what it be suppose to do . if you want a attractive clock , this be not the one for you . the plastic look cheap , and it be slightly bulkier than I expect . my only real issue with it be the alarm . I prefer my initial alarm sound to be a gentle peep that gradually increase in intensity -- I do not want my alarm disturb the hotel guest in the next room . this be loud and obnoxious from the start . if you be a deep sleeper , the Elgin Travel Alarm clock be the one for you . +603 AlarmClock POS 5 I use the Coby Viewer \/ Alarm clock in conjunction with a 4aausb -lrb- Batteries America -rrb- 5 volt power supply to view picture from my trail camera when I be in the field . this work better and have a clearer picture than the commercially available viewer from the trail Camera Manufacturers . it be also much cheaper . +988 AlarmClock NEU 3 I find the alarm on this clock work very well and be easy to set up . however , with the first clock I receive , you could not see the time at night because the background do not light up enough . I call the company and they replace the clock , which I appreciate , however , the second clock do not work any better ! you have to turn on a light to see what time it be at night time which defeat the purpose of get a clock that be suppose to light up ! +287 AlarmClock POS 5 I buy one of these for household use and like it enough to buy another one . -lrb- my strategy be to have several inexpensive alarm clock scatter throughout my apartment so that by the time I have find they all , I be awake . -rrb- the folding design allow the device to be pretty light without be easy to tip over . instead of buy yet another one , I be go to try out the nap mate the button on the Travel-Mate be make from harder plastic and be probably more durable . we shall see : -rrb- +649 AlarmClock POS 5 buy this clock for my wife she love it ... it be simple to use and look great . order it from Amazon.com it ship fast and be in packed well ... +599 AlarmClock NEU 3 hate that infuriate buzz-buzz sound from you alarm clock ? Nature sound be a great solution , but you will not get they from this alarm clock . this alarm 's `` nature sound '' be actually closer to white noise and they be just about the only sound more unpleasant than the typical buzz alarm clock . fortunately , the standard buzz be still a option on this alarm . sound aside , the clock do not disappoint . the button to adjust alarm and time be find on the back of the unit , far away from the oversized snooze button on top . there be no danger of reset the time as you sleepily grope for the snooze button . one last warning : the clock be a little smaller than I expect from the image . if you be near-sighted , consider get a clock with extra-large digit . +265 AlarmClock NEG 1 the clock flash a frightening red color when it go off in the morning-first surprise . then the battery die , so I replace they , but after two day the backlight stop work , the number fade to the point where I could barely see they , and the volume become so low I could barely hear it . +252 AlarmClock POS 5 so simple , yet such a great idea ! finally someone have really think about how people use alarm clock . I love be able to program it and not worry about forget to change it the night before . it be great for odd-time class in grad school and now i use it to get up early twice a week for yoga . good for weekend too . I do not have to remember to shut it off so I can sleep in on Saturdays . and I do not have to remember to turn it on again for Monday . it also look a lot cooler than most of the other clock out there . +570 AlarmClock POS 5 very please with product and delivery . item be ship with proper packing and arrive on time . order for my wife 's birthday and she absolutley love it . enjoyable option for alarm setting and easy to set up separate alarm with individual setting . +139 AlarmClock POS 4 this alarm clock be really great . Easy to use step and a seperate alarm time for each day . the only downside be that the radio be horrible but I guess they make it a dial radio to avoid button and more user friendly . I find the other feature to be not very useful because I dont use nap or the radio . the alarm clock funtion be all I need it for and its all I will ever use on this product . +554 AlarmClock POS 5 this be a very elegant snooze-type alarm clock with many different soothing sound to suit you taste . small and compact , it come with the Sharper image credentials , and live up to its name for dependability . New condition from Amazon . +395 AlarmClock NEG 1 the clock will not set to eastern standard time . I manually set it and it keep resete itself to central time . the customer service on this product be horrible . a person call during the day and leave I no good info . +695 AlarmClock POS 4 as a retail worker work vary shift each week , this alarm allow I to program a week out and not have to re-set the alarm every night . love the ` nap ' feature , and select you own snooze time be a plus also . the only improvement I could recommend be in the setting mechanism , as the rotate dial be slow to set . +580 AlarmClock NEG 1 I buy this for my child to sleep to the nature sound . after buy it , I find you can only play the nature sound in the `` sleep '' mode and that they will only play for a maximum of 59 minute , and then it shut off ! why can not it just also have a `` on '' and `` off '' button ? also , there be no volume control for the sound , and most seem pretty loud , but `` ocean '' be the softest . further , the sound repeat after a very short time , about 3 seconds , so the pattern be very obvious and could get annoying . I would say to look for a better product with more feature . +301 AlarmClock POS 5 I love this little alarm clock so much , I have several throughout my house . pro : \* 24 hour time -lrb- a huge plus for people who have to work shift -rrb- \* nap timer -lrb- I use this feature all the time to wait 15 minute to see if I have correctly treat a hypoglycemic episode -rrb- . you can nap up to 4 hour . \* small and portable con : \* can only set the date and time forward ; you have to scroll through the entire cycle if you have overshoot you value . \* can not turn the back light off -lrb- but it only stay on for about 4 seconds -rrb- \* can not turn the nap timer off \* can not see how much time you have leave on you nap +474 AlarmClock POS 5 I buy this clock to put it on my office desk and it look so awesome , definitely be a Kids clock . just a normal display with a buzzer alarm , but if you want something cool for you bookshelf or you computer\/office desk and you like Star Wars it be a must have . +21 AlarmClock POS 4 the Soleil Sunrise Alarm clock do what be advertise it help wake you up easier and more alert that a standard alarm clock . the radio do work , but only on strong station . I also quickly remove the translucent housing over the bulb , do that allow the lamp do its job . the clock work best in pitch black where the lamp will light up the whole room . be the alarm worth it , if you need to wake up early in the morning , and then yes . could it be better , yes a clear lamp housing , and a better radio would be great addition . +602 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock be recommend by Techno Beaver , Baba Booey on the Howard Stern show . just like he tell Boff , `` I just plug it in , and it set the time automatically '' . I be go to get a fancy clock radio , but after Techno Beaver 's two cent , I reconsider and buy this one . thanks , Baba Booey ! +563 AlarmClock NEG 1 do not light up enough to see the time on the display - can not read it in the dark and just barely in the light . +729 AlarmClock POS 4 my only complaint about this clock be that you have to be at a certain angle to see the digital pixel . if you be look down at it , the pixel be clear and distinct but if you be look at it from a same level point , the pixel look fade and indistinguishable ... +258 AlarmClock POS 5 good selection of sound , time , two alarm . Works well , easy to move and use . it help my dog sleep which help I sleep . good value for the money . +172 AlarmClock NEG 1 junk ... can not hear alarm ... I even press it up to my ear and can not hear it ... that pretty bad ... have no loudness control ... so order another one ... same thing ... call the mfg. . . she even admit that the alarm be not very loud on this model . . not very loud i can deal with , but silent I do not think so ... 2 out of 2 defective ... not a good deal ... which be to bad ... because I really do like the big red clock face and the fact that it set itself , . +503 AlarmClock NEG 1 I purchase the travel alarm specifically to have a time piece and wake-up mechanism for a 900 mile road trip at Thanksgiving . the clock lose more than a minute per half hour , so I purchase a new battery . it still lose time . the alarm be so soft that I could barely hear it . I would have rate this Chaney Instruments Sojourn lcd Travel Alarm clock ZERO star . the software would not accept that , so I give it one star . my fund be not well spend . on the bright side , it be light weight and not too flimsy . +516 AlarmClock POS 4 I love the idea of this clock - love it ! and as far as performance go , it be fantastic . the only complaint I have , and it be a big one , be that access the menu be a bit complicated . there be some nice feature on the clock itself that you have to really work hard to access . once you get it setup , though , it be marvelous ! +758 AlarmClock POS 5 very sleek look and function alarm clock . we like that it have lot of different sound to choose from so we do not have to have the standard annoying alarm sound in the morning . another great feature , be that you can program 2 seperate alarm , so if you and you partner get up at different time in the morning you can set both alarm for 2 different time -lrb- and even different sound -rrb- . plus not have to worry about forget to re-set or accidentally turn the other alarm one off . +574 AlarmClock POS 5 a great travel alarm clock , the best I have see for the price use 2 aa battery green back light blink red when the alarm ring +230 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock be very simple , and I like that . as far as setting - you can set time and alarm time , snooze and that be it . I see these number with out my glass and I can not see the big e on the eye chart . +913 AlarmClock POS 5 when I be look at the different dawn simulator type alarm clock , I be really discourage by the price of all of they . I do not want something too cheap nor too expensive or more than what I need . I do some research on different one 's and make a choice between the Sunrise one and this one . I find a video about the Sunrise one and the white noise feature seem cool , but I like the sound of the little fan I have better and I also do not have to worry about the speaker go bad for the white noise -lrb- I find this out through other review -rrb- . also the Sunrise one be HUGE ! way to big if you have a small night stand . so I go with the Soleil -lrb- which i think be still high for a simple alarm clock -rrb- . I could not stand my regular one with the loud buzz sound to wake I up with my heart racing and breathing like i just run a marathon ! I hate wake up LIKE that ! this one be much `` nicer '' to a light sleeper . as far as the other review about it not be bright enough : do you want a spotlight in you face ? -lrb- rhetorical ? -rrb- it will light up bright enough for a easy awakening . my only problem be the green display light . I prefer red , because red do not effect the diolation of the eye , but this be a small problem . as far as the radio , it be obviously not a frickin boom box but it be good enough . and the optional beeping sound be good but the way I sleep it be more than enough so I do not even use it . the light be enough to get I up . overall this alarm clock be AWESOME ! great size , the security feature be cool , the sunrise\/sunset be awesome too , and just read the instruction and play with it a bit and it be very easy to use . I would recommend this -lrb- of course if they really be a light sleeper -rrb- . +843 AlarmClock POS 5 my ten year old daughter use to sleep through she very loud alarm - I could hear it go off from the basement ! she receive she Sonic Boom for Christmas and have not oversleep yet ! Works great . +519 AlarmClock NEU 3 I have mix feeling about this alarm clock . it have some great feature , but also some flaw . I give it 3 star mostly due to the poor quality of the antenna -lrb- a wire that you have to move around just right to hear the weather radio -rrb- . a sturdy metal antenna would have work much better . my antenna arrive damage . the warrenty be limit -- I send it to the manufacturer and they charge you $ 5 to get it send back to you , plus you have to pay to ship it out . so , it cost I about 1\/2 the original price just to get it work properly . very disappointing , and due to poor quality of the antenna . other than that , the only significant flaw -lrb- that bother I , that be -rrb- I see be how small the Sleep button be . it be difficult to find in the dark , and it be make flatter than the rest of the button -lrb- it be on the top left of the front of the clock -rrb- . this make it hard to press the button , too . the alarm do have some very nice quality . be able to listen to the weather when the news on tv be not on and it be stormy -lrb- so can not turn on the computer -rrb- be very handy ! Make sure you have a NOAA weather station in you area before you buy , because the signal be weak and you may not be able to pick it up at all . the slow-to-wake buzzer be really nice . it help you wake easily , rather than jump out of you skin . it start to almost nothing to a fairly loud buzzer . you will not sleep through this buzzer . also handy be the Reset button . this reset you alarm for the next day . you do not have to remember to turn the alarm on everyday , because it just reset it to the same time for the next day . if you be buy this for the Hi\/Lo dimmer , I would not recommend this clock radio . it work , but it be not very dim . I leave it on dim all the time because the hus setting be so bright . +13 AlarmClock NEG 1 this clock look great but functionally it be terrible . a alarm clock main purpose be to wake you up . this clock have a quiet alarm that be on for 30 seconds and then the alarm turn off automatically never to sound again for that day . I purchase this for the time zone feature but the alarm be so poor I can not use it . it be waste money . +750 AlarmClock NEG 1 junk junk junk junk make in china junk junk junk alarm not accurate junk junk junk junk junk junk junk +319 AlarmClock POS 5 so my grandparent have be waken up at like 10 yo so I buy this for they and know they wake up at 9:59 and 59 seconds ok so that be my history report even though I only get u z ------ ok that be my review +88 AlarmClock NEG 1 I be glad I find this little clock on Amazon , because it seem to be exactly what I be look for . Elgin be a reputable name in timepiece . unfortunately , the clock gain about 15 minute every five hour ! I test it more than once . I be so disappointed . have to return it . still look for something like it . I need something simple , folding , battery-operated , a clock that can keep accurate time -lrb- ! -rrb- and with a light that come on when press . unfortunately , it be not to be with this one . I do not usually write review , but feel obligate to report my recent experience with this model . +950 AlarmClock POS 4 this sound machine alarm clock work great and have a good variety of sound to choose from . some of the sound be a little strange like the fog horn , but to each be own . the only thing that could be change be the brightness on the clock . you can turn down the brightness , but not enough . +236 AlarmClock POS 5 I have a daugher who wear hearing aid and can not hear a regular alarm clock . this one be great ! we turn the siren off -lrb- b\/c it will wake the whole house -rrb- and the light and bed vibrator wake she up with no problem . she love the pink heart to . +902 AlarmClock POS 5 this have a large display and be therefore easy to see even with the unaided eye . I do not need the clock as a alarm so I can not rate that function . also , I do not know if the DST feature work since no DST date have pass yet . but if you want a easy to use and easy to see clock , this be it . I just order two more . a peek at the instruction tell how to set the time manually if you so wish , and also how to change the battery . instruction be wonderful thing . since there be two dimension for the clock on Amazon web page just let I clarify : dimension be 3 1\/4 `` h x 7 1\/8 `` w x 2 3\/4 `` D. so a pretty small footprint . this be not to be confuse with a `` atomic clock '' . there be no radio signal and the clock operate on house current with battery backup and reset itself after a power interruption . update 3 month later I do buy two more clock for a total of three . all keep accurate time and change day light savings time correctly . +919 AlarmClock POS 5 have be search for replacement home weather station and find one that work . however , the time display be about 3\/4-inch high , make it difficult to see the time of day across a room . I find this clock and it be perfect ! the number be about 2-inches high -- very sharp and clear to read across a room . I use this clock in the family room , on the fireplace mantle , so the brightness of the number be not a factor in keep anyone awake . I now wear glass and even without wear the glass I be able to read the number clearly across the room . this clock also have a `` pm '' indicator . be very happy with my purchase . +58 AlarmClock POS 5 th sonic boom sbh400ss sweetheart loud plus vibrating alarm clock be super !! Wakes I up but I do have a tendancy to use the snooze alarm too much -lrb- I seem to need that extra 9 minute . -rrb- the only concern I have be that the cord for the vibrator that go under my pillow could be longer so it could reach my pillow from a further distance , therefore , I would have to get up to set the snooze alarm which would then wake I up without have to go back to bed . : -rrb- +748 AlarmClock POS 4 I need something for my office desk , because the person who control the office thermostat do not believe my office run 3-5 degree warmer than the office right next to mine . now I have proof ! the Indiglo be a bonus and the display size be just right so I can read the time from across the room . what a find ! I be thrill ! +341 AlarmClock NEG 1 I have get this clock twice . the first time , I purchase it and within about a month , the time be display wrong and the alarm have stop work . I take it to Brookstone to have it replace , which they do without any trouble . I think perhaps my first clock have simply be a lemon , but I be wrong . the second clock work for about 2 month , before the snooze button stop work -lrb- I do not press it very hard , nor too often -rrb- , the time would randomly reset itself and the first number on the clock start fading . at that point , I take the clock back to Brookstone and get a pair of slipper instead . I do not recommend this clock . it have some good point , but those be not worth the fact that it will probably stop function shortly after you buy it . +440 AlarmClock POS 5 I buy two of these to replace we two Timex bedside clock radio . Whenever there be a power failure , the time would drift on the backup battery so eventually they display different and incorrect time . they also have to be adjust twice a year between Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time . we grow tired of this . I search far and wide for a radio-controlled alarm clock with a amber lead back-lit display that stay illuminate all of the time . I be unable to find any . this clock be close . it have a amber lead back-lit display that illuminate for a few seconds when the snooze bar be press . the alarm be fairly loud and progressively beep more the longer it alarm , a good feature . however , if the snooze bar be not press , the alarm stop and do not beep again for another 24 hour . the best part , though , be that the clock never have to be set , be always correct , and automatically change between Standard and Daylight Saving Time . +683 AlarmClock POS 5 I love this little clock . it be small and slender -lrb- like a a compact powder -rrb- and have super easy function . will not travel without it . +12 AlarmClock POS 5 I be look for a digital clock that I could see from about 60 foot . I help lead worship at church and speak often too , so we need a clock that be visible from a distance . this clock have large , large red number -lrb- 2.5 inch high -rrb- and can be see even by someone with nearsightedness like I . even though it be not make for the purpose of which I be use it , it work great ! +980 AlarmClock POS 5 put I to sleep like a baby listen to the ocean . I wake up to the everglade . Easy to use , so many sound to choose from . just what I want with a good price . +732 AlarmClock NEG 2 my sister have this alarm clock . I love it . the sound soother be awesome , and lull I right to sleep . I want to get my own . I order it from Amazon , and it arrive quickly . I be excite , and set it up immediately . when I go to bed I put on one of the sound , awesome . then I notice a humming noise amid the soothing wave , I fall asleep anyway . I wake up to the alarm clock go off , and promptly hit the snooze button . there it be again ! the humming noise stay on the whole time it be in snooze mode . I decide to exchange it for a new one ... the new alarm clock arrive . the same thing happen . I call up customer service . I speak with a very nice representative who be sympathetic to my situation . she decide that since this happen more than once , this be a matter that need to be investigate . she tell I that she would take Amazon off of the merchant list for this product until someone have test all of the remain stock in the warehouse . she tell I to check the website in a couple of day , and if I see that Amazon be sell it again , that mean the matter have be resolve . she also issue a immediate refund to I . I be very impressed . a few day later I check the website . sure enough Amazon be sell the alarm clock . I go for it . I figure third time be a charm , they look into it after all . I receive the alarm clock not so quickly this time . I decide to set it up , and test it out before I commit to fall asleep with it . sure enough , it make the horrible humming sound . I send it back . I also call customer service again to give they a head up , since they be so accommodate the previous time . another mistake . this customer service rep be unsympathetic , and actually say something along the line of ` well I could not say it be malfunction ... ' do . it be be send back , I be not go to keep try . I 'll just be envious my sister 's alarm clock that work . +864 AlarmClock POS 5 I have have this clock for just a couple of day but I be extremely impressed . I place it on the dresser in my bedroom and it be easily readable . I have have projection clock and these end up in the trash over time because the projection fade or become fuzzy - and I have have several - but this new clock without projection be the cat 's meow ! I feel that I need to see the time when I awake in the night and this clock have not disappointed I - the number be huge , clear and just perfect . the battery backup take a 9 volt and it be easily install . the packaging be not too much -lrb- I hate those form fitting one you have to slice you finger up to open -rrb- - this packaging be clear plastic but pop right off . needless to say I be very pleased and highly recommend this clock . +569 AlarmClock NEG 1 I have use a travel alarm for year at home so that any potential power loss will not impact my get up in time for work . my trusty 30 + year old Braun die a couple of month ago . this Casio look like it have potential as a replacement . the ticking be so loud it keep I awake . when this sit on you bedside table it become all you can hear after a while . there seem to be no place in the room that be convenient and suppress the noise . +873 AlarmClock POS 5 I be travel to London for eight day with carry-on luggage only so be look for the smallest alarm clock I could find but with a alarm I could hear . this travel alarm clock more than fit the bill . very small , so easy to set the time and alarm , neatly design to stand up and be easy to read in the dark by the push of one button and unlike other travel alarm I have use not once do I sleep through this one . a great little clock at a great price . highly recommend . +769 AlarmClock NEU 3 product description say c battery , it be 3 aa which I do not have and do not want to get , especially since some reviewer say they do not fit . I figure it be 50\/50 which I would get since people report both size , but I lose out . plus it be much bigger than I have envision and just not very attractive . back it go . +498 AlarmClock POS 4 I love the ease withwhich I can set the time , set the alarm and view it in the dark , however , it do not stand on its trus leg configuration very easily . I be constantly knock it over and althought that in itself do not render the alarm inoperable , it do make it difficult to orient and turn off , in the wee hour of the morning upon wake to its nicely sound alarm . its quiet and I would buy it again but the leg thing be annoying . +453 AlarmClock POS 5 I have always have a hard time wake up , its always so easy to tune alarm clock out . the Sonic Boom Alarm clock be amazing ! when I start get use to the volume of the alarm I can change it and the vibrating wake I up every time ! the design be adorable too ! +768 AlarmClock POS 5 I purchase this travel alarm for my daughter , who be head off to Thailand for a year . it be small , it be easy to use , and it come within the time frame need to leave with she on she flight overseas . the price be perfect ! everything we have see in the store be in the $ 20 range , and she be thrill to pay less than half that for this little wonder . +938 AlarmClock NEG 2 I buy this product because it come up when I search for alarm clock for heavy sleeper , this thing be so quite that it do not even begin to wake I up . I be go to return it as soon as possible . the one good thing be that yes you can see the display from a good distance . +753 AlarmClock NEG 2 I be not one to write review , but I be so surprised to see the flowery review by the editor , I be prompt to comment . the overall design of this product may seem stylish , but not free from glithe and error . the radio reception be very weak . the only way I get clear station be if I be touch the antenna . the station scanning also do not work great - it be actually annoying because it stop on any static station , even if you press-and-hold scan . also beware - if you have the sound soother on and accidentally press a radio preset , you will wipe out all of you preset when switch back to the radio . another problem - it eat battery like crazy , so you have to spring for the ac power adapter . as for the sound soother , it seem to work and help I sleep , but not all of the sound make sense , but I guess everyone be different . I generally like the rain , Thunderstorm , Summer Night , or City sound . I do have the single speaker model as well , and it do have good sound quality . the rest of this unit 's feature be so lack , though , so it be really hard to justify the expense just for a sound soother . +310 AlarmClock NEG 2 I buy this product because of the selection of sound it offer , have listen to the sample provide online . however , the main reason for purchase be as a white noise machine for my night 's sleep . I think it be a good plus that it also come with a alarm clock . while I do appreciate the functionality that you could set the alarm for any sound you wish -lrb- go to sleep with white noise but wake up with wind chime -rrb- , I be dissatisfy with the sound quality of the white noise or the brightness of the display . I could discern the loop in the white noise - it be not continuous or smooth . in fact , I get one of the most restless night of sleep use this machine . overall , if you be look for a sound machine with lot of interesting noise , this be for you . if you be look for a white noise machine this be not for you . +508 AlarmClock NEU 3 this be very loud and very bright -lrb- even on dim -rrb- . it will wake you up like a smack to the face . I return it . +323 AlarmClock NEU 3 I buy this as a birthday gift for my little brother . I expect it to be more better than just a regular clock . here some of my pro and con . pro : - arm and leg can move like any other lego man - clock easy to use - alarm - snooze button be the head - when snooze button be hit , the clock light up red Cons : - alarm sound be beep noise -lrb- I be hope for he voice or at least a star war song -rrb- - no radio - battery hard to put in - kinda hard to make he stand straight up - hit snooze button require a bit of strength for a kid - snooze button need to the press while vader be sit - kinda pricey -lrb- purchase for $ 24 -rrb- UPDATE : clock be still the same so far , sturdy . my brother still use it to wake up for school . - feb 13 , 2012 +29 AlarmClock POS 5 it be nice to wake up to wind chime on a morning . I have notice a few people here have complain about the lowest setting still be too bright ... and I agree . I have solve the problem by buy a roll of dark window tint cling ; it just stick -lrb- non permanently -rrb- right on the front of the clock like any window cling stick to glass . I have to buy a whole big roll and cut such a tiny piece off for the clock - but the roll will not go to waste as I have notice a couple of window in the house that would benefit from some dark window tint . +992 AlarmClock NEG 1 we love the look of this clock , but it will simply stop run without warning . not slowly loose time . stop . get it 3 week ago and have put at least 4 different battery in it think they be dead . battery be all fine . they power other item . something be wrong inside . battery fit tight so it must be beyond where the battery go . +73 AlarmClock POS 5 I buy this for my daughter because she love star war . she fall in love with it when she see it . it work well . anybody that be a fan of Star Wars should have one of these . +720 AlarmClock NEG 1 it look good in the picture , but do not even think of buy this piece of junk . it be way too big for a travel clock , the digital and anlaog clock be not connect to each other , and the other feature be awkward to use . +217 AlarmClock POS 5 just a straight-forward , no-frills alarm clock , with no frill to get in the way . when you be groggy and just wake up , you do not want to hit the wrong button . +263 AlarmClock NEG 1 I buy a equity by La Crosse Model 30037 alarm clock -lrb- 1.5 v aa backup -rrb- equity by La Crosse 30037 Jumbo 1.8-Inch lead Alarm clock the bottom of the number would not light up . how could they let this out of the factory ? oh , right , it be make in China ... also , just to be on the safe side , get on the www.CPSC.gov mailing list . most of the recall product with safety problem come from China . +598 AlarmClock NEG 2 receive this as a Christmas gift . it work fine , but 10 month later there be no backlight and the alarm do not work . I try new battery , but that do not fix the problem . if you want a travel clock that you can see during the daytime only , this be the one for you . +324 AlarmClock POS 5 this be the perfect size clock for travel . it be small and easily fit in you cosmetic bag . it have a alarm that be not obtrusive . I like a analog clock much better than a digital - much easier to set !! +131 AlarmClock POS 5 this be a really unique product , it be extremely loud , and it vibrate the bed , so it really do what it say . however it do not wake my 13-year-old up , I wish they make something that would spray water on she ... maybe that would work . +540 AlarmClock POS 5 this be the best small and loud battery alarm clock available , and I have try most of they . you will not go wrong . +0 AlarmClock POS 5 the Westclox Travelmate be multi-useful . use when travel , at work , or at home . the ideal `` backup '' when weather-related problem develop . keep one in you car -lrb- and boat , etc -rrb- . if you be downsize or just want thing small but effective , this be the clock for you . Easy to use button , clear dial and amazing battery life . my original one be over 10 year old and never have battery replace . it be actually kinda weird ... in a good way . these will be some stock stuffer this year . +692 AlarmClock POS 5 I be redo my apartment and want a old fashion look alarm clock . this fit the bill with its art deco look . I have the pink one and it be a beautiful shade of pink . not bright like some here have say . think pepto bismol ! nor be it the bubble gum pink that little girl love . it be more a medium shade of pink . it have a silver band around the bottom that make it so attractive . now for what be more important , how it work . it be easy as pie , you just set the time and the alarm follow the direction in which to turn the knob in back . switch the alarm to on and you be do . when it go off , first you will get 5 minute of a gentle light that flash to wake you up . if after 5 minute , you do not respond than the alarm go off . it be more of a old fashion alarm clock sound than the buzz of new one . also , if during the night you have a power failure it have a battery operate backup . it just take 2 aa battery . I be surprised how reasonable the price for this one be . I have price other for a lot more . it be a real bargain and I be glad to have it now . I would highly recommend this alarm clock to anyone who be look for one . +942 AlarmClock POS 5 this be a great portable travel clock - exactly what i want . this clock be compact and easy to throw in my pocketbook . it be easy to read the time , very simple to set the time\/alarm and be inexpensive .

First of all , it be so cute . the number change color and I can see they very clearly if I wake up at night . it be easy to set up . the alarm can get set very loud which be good for I . but the best part be the vibration feature which I place at the top of the bed under my shoulder area . when the alarm go off , it vibrate , again remind I to get up . I really love it . +315 AlarmClock NEG 1 I buy this as a ALARM clock . I be sit on the edge of my bed wonder why my new alarm clock have not go off when I realize that it be go off .

I buy this item for my daughter to use in she room and do not want to spend a lot for she first CD Player \/ Alarm clock . the first obvious problem be the opening hatch on the top , which be very cheaply make and I could see break easily . the BIG problem be that the CD player do not work at all , just make a buzz sound and then silence . have to return right away . +505 AlarmClock POS 5 tire of reset my old clock after power failure , just want something i could forget about . this do the trick so far , it automatically synce up after a few night i only have to set the time zone . not loud alarm , but hey its solar power . think bout buy more . +71 AlarmClock POS 4 simple and easy to use : one switch and two button . good value for the money . one-way set -lrb- advance only -rrb- for hour and minute -lrb- one button for each -rrb- , so if you overshoot you mark , you have to go around again , but it be fast . the stand be a bit fragile , but serviceable . one unexpected feature - you can use the night light to drive with if you headlight go out . +805 AlarmClock POS 4 this clock seem to work fine . it take forever to sync up with the atomic clock -lrb- and I live in a major city -rrb- but finally it do . my one complaint be that when the clock be open , the stand be very long and juuuust do not fit on a standard windowsill . +857 AlarmClock NEU 3 the number on the clock certainly be huge , the biggest I be able to find , but the clock be so bright it keep we up at night . the `` dim '' setting be only marginally dimmer than the bright setting . +39 AlarmClock NEG 1 I purchase this clock when it be power by a c battery and would have rate it five Stars . unfortunately when I re-order it recently , it have be redesign . it be now power by 3 aa battery which do not fit into its compartment , and so do not provide power to the clock for it to run ! a clock that do not run be no use to I or anyone else . I be return the new clock along with several other I order with the same problem . +808 AlarmClock POS 4 I buy this sun alarm 3 year ago and it have make a huge difference in how I feel after wake up in the morning . alarm clock use to make I feel edgy and tense but wake up to a slow simulated dawn be really peaceful . I have the backup radio alarm set to go off if the light do not wake I but so far I have only need that maybe a handful of time in 3 year . you do have to make sure the alarm be eye-level next to the bed for it to work really well though . the only gripe I really have be that there be a way to dim the display light but it be somewhat complicated and everytime the power go off -lrb- which be a lot in Florida -rrb- , I have to look it up again . but other than that , this be a decent product that accomplish the goal of wake up peacefully . :0 -rrb- +77 AlarmClock POS 5 previously , I review the Sonic Boom Alarm clock -lrb- heart shape -rrb- and Extension cord . when I have receive the package there be `` nothing '' in it ; however , since that time , I have talk with the company and they be very courteous and apologetic -- mistake do happen . I have be upset as I be concern I would not get it in time for my daughter 's birthday . the company assure I it would be send immediately , and I receive it in 3 day . I must compliment this company for they polite and quick response . +5 AlarmClock NEG 2 the description of this product seem ideal . . not to have to reset you alarm for differnt schedule everyday . however the direction be very brief and vague and the clock be hard to set , both the time and alarm . do not want to bother send it back so I put it in the guest rooom where a clock be need , but not a alarm . +475 AlarmClock POS 5 my son be a huge star war and Lego fan -lrb- and so be we -rrb- and I recently buy this alarm clock to make it easier for he to get out of bed in the morning - and it work ! he love it . the storm trooper be very nice and look great . it be easy for a child to handle and very easy to program and use . my only negative would be that the clock would be even better with a Star Wars theme wake up call rather than the classic bip bip bip . especially for the Darth Vader version ... +45 AlarmClock NEG 1 I follow all the direction and allow 72 hour for the clock to reset itself . since the best reception to Colorado be between 12am to 3am , and the clock specifically target that time frame for auto update , I set the time manually -lrb- minus 7 minute to make sure that it actually do pick up the signal -rrb- . the clock never set itself correctly . I refuse to `` position '' my clock to face Colorado -lrb- although it be face in the general direction -rrb- , and my side of the bed be not closest to the window -lrb- and I think it be ridiculous to think I have to strategically arrange my clock in order to get it to work -rrb- . also , the clock be very light weight and easily move around . the button be extremely small and I have to pick up the clock to set the alarm -lrb- since it slide accross the night stand when I try push the alarm button -rrb- , and it be still difficult to get the button to work even after that . cheap construction ! +629 AlarmClock POS 5 I really can not comment on the specific feature of this clock other than the clock display itself . my only reason for purchasing be to replace the clock feature that I lose when I change my tv and internet service provider . this display be large and bright , just exactly what these old eye need . on the other hand , I can see where the brightness could possibly be a distraction under certain circumstance , so careful attention should be pay to it be intend use before purchase . +128 AlarmClock NEG 2 I buy this clock and try it for 2 night . however , I be awaken by the clock 1 hour ahead of actual time . I realize later that the manufacturer have mess up on the program in this clock . instead of 60 seconds per minute , this alarm clock be internally set at 50 seconds per minute ... +134 AlarmClock POS 4 the alarm clock be fine . all plastic but good quality . there be a couple of led on each side of the lcd screen that serve as backlighting , they vary in color depend on what model you get -lrb- i.e. Darth Vader glow red , storm trooper glow yellow -rrb- . it be a real shame the only sound this thing emit be a generic alarm clock sound . it would have be great if they include just a couple of Star Wars theme effects\/alarms . +538 AlarmClock POS 5 the clock can be very loud if you turn the tone up or a manageable tone for the normal person . the vibrator work fantastic and both should be able to wake up anybody . +821 AlarmClock POS 5 I take AMBIEN and IT STILL WAKES ME up . this ALARM have help me keep my job ! the vibrate mechanism be what REALLY help me . the 1st TIME IT startle you but you get used to it . great . +339 AlarmClock NEU 3 the box for my La Crosse atomic alarm clock state the Model no. be wt-6165u-spb , but the clock itself state that the Model no. be wt-2165led . I have no idea what `` u-spb '' be suppose to mean . Amazon have several La Crosse travel clock list on its web site which appear similar to this clock and each have a different model number , but all appear to have similar feature . like many electronic device on the market today , this clock be make in China . the label inside the door of the battery compartment state that it take a `` aa '' battery , but it actually take a AAA battery . the battery be not include in the box . after install a battery , the clock automatically pick up the correct time from the atomic clock after sit out overnight . however , the clock must be set manually for the correct time zone - it do not have a gp in it , so it have to be tell where it be by select the correct time zone . set everything else on this clock must also be do manually and be not very intuitive . fortunately , direction be print on the bottom of the base , as well as in a instruction manual include in the box . unfortunately , set the number on the display can be tricky , because the number move in only one direction - up . if you miss the number you want , you then have to move through the entire cycle and hope you can hit the correct number the next time around . it would have be helpful if there be a reverse button , but there be not . there be a led light on the inside right side of the display which make the time and other item display readable in the dark . the display can be illuminate by gently push the top of the clock back on the base . the same motion also activate the snooze feature . the display be also illuminate when the alarm go off , so you immediately know the time even if the room be dark . the snooze length be adjustable from 0 -lrb- for no snooze at all -rrb- to 59 minute . the clock also have two alarm and each have a distinctive ring . these be all convenient feature . the alarm can be deactivate by push any of the four button on the back , but do so reset the alarm for the same time the next day . to completely deactivate the alarm , the button for the actual alarm have to be push . I find that it be very easy to accidentally activate the alarm because only a brief push on the alarm button activate it . also , when the base be flip to the `` closed '' position , it cover only the display on the front of the clock - the button on the back be expose and the alarm can be accidentally activate if pressure be place on either of the two alarm button . therefore , when travel , I check the clock after unpack to make sure the alarm be not accidentally turn on by pressure from other item in my luggage . it would have be helpful if there be a way to deactivate the alarm button when travel , but this be another feature that be lack on this clock . this be a decent alarm clock , but there be room for considerable improvement . +757 AlarmClock POS 4 nice travel alarm clock . it be a plastic case , not super small , but small enough , simple to use . do not always wake up my super-sound sleeping daughter , since it automatically shut off after a minute -lrb- or 30 seconds ? -rrb- . it have two alarm level , the alarm be a higher frequency that hard of hear people may not hear , but would generally wake up anyone that want to get up . I also use it as a back up alarm for when I have to catch a flight , and I do not have to worry about not hear it , even when I put it 10 foot away from my bed ... +364 AlarmClock NEG 2 this unit be a little big for a small travel suitcase where space be extremely limit . I like the little westclox better for about the same amount of money -lrb- I buy both , but I be not use this one at all -rrb- . hey , it work , and it last -lrb- both unit -rrb- . in a day where quality be in short supply , I guess this be a good investment since it be also relatively cheap as well as pragmatic . enjoy ! +539 AlarmClock NEG 1 I be extremely disappoint with this product . the overall workmanship appear cheap . the radio be a lousy receiver . the timer be difficult to set , so I sometimes see the ` sunrise ' in the evening . the bulb burn out way too soon , except for be past the expiration of the return date . +833 AlarmClock POS 4 Works fine except that it seem to drift toward run a bit fast over time . large display be easily visible from many foot away . +482 AlarmClock NEG 2 Works okay as a alarm clock , but the clock display be way too bright and annoying . I be talk about the actual digital time display , not the sunrise simulator lamp , to avoid any possible confusion here . I have to put a piece of duct tape over it . I be really sensitive to light in my bedroom when I be try to sleep . keep in mind that I have the clock on the opposite side of the room , so I would not be tempt to just hit the snooze button and go back to sleep . if you be like I and find too-bright digital display annoying , you might want to get a different alarm clock . luckily I get this clock at half price , so I do not waste a lot of money on it . +935 AlarmClock POS 5 I get this for my bf that love star war , he love it ! and it be ship here super fast ! +726 AlarmClock POS 4 I want a alarm clock to wake I up with something other than beep or a radio . I try the Sony ICFC707 clock radio which have more sophisticated programming than this clock . but the Sony have only 5 sound , all of which be too innocuous to penetrate my sleep mind . this clock 's designer include some sound for people like I who want a soothing sound to wake they up -lrb- I use the wind chime setting -rrb- . all in all , I miss the Sony 's programming , which include the 5 day programming . also with the Sony , you can choose different sound and volume level for each alarm and sleep function . this clock , as far as I know , have the same volume across the board . also , like other reviewer say , the increment between the volume setting -lrb- from vol 1 to vol level 2 -rrb- be just too wide . some of the sound be pretty hard to distinguish from each other , -lrb- ebb tide , oceanside & surf up , for example -rrb- so I be a bit unsure why they even bother to include they separately . the wind chime loop seem very short ; for wake up , it be just fine , for go to sleep , it might drive some people batty . pro : pleasant sound to wake up to which you can control the volume level con : somewhat unsophisticated programming -- one volume for all , no 5\/2 day alarm choice +983 AlarmClock POS 5 Got this clock for my grandmother who can not really see the time of we regular clock anymore . she love it . it be pretty well make , all the part be put together nicely consider the price , easy to adjust time , and my grandmother love it . it do what it suppose to do . I be happy because my grandmother love it , that she can see the time again without have to walk across the living room or kitchen to look at the time closely . +94 AlarmClock POS 5 I just purchase my third clock for my house . these clock be quiet -lrb- until you need they -rrb- and dependable . I really like the backlight feature . +170 AlarmClock POS 4 good product , do everything it be advertise to do . I can set alarm for different day easily . only drawback be that the clock have a small display which can be hard to see from across the room . +232 AlarmClock NEG 1 product failure . NEVER work correctly . the clock work but would never reset from pacific time zone to eastern time zone . try everything we could but could never get it to move off of pacific time . +234 AlarmClock POS 5 I really can not say how this be because I buy it as a gift for my grand-daughter for Christmas ... . she love Legos and Star Wars ... so if it be she writting -lrb- she be 8 yr . old -rrb- I guess she would say she love it ... +520 AlarmClock POS 4 I just receive this clock . set up be very easy , just plug it in , set the time zone slide switch and it pick up the radio signal in less than 10 minute . the LED readout be large and clear and have a dimmer switch ; much easier to see and read than the more common lcd display . Controls be simple and self explanatory - no complex\/confusing manual need . I would have like if the button have be a little bit larger , but it be not a real problem . I like the fact that the ALARM on-off switch and the SET ALARM button be separate control . you can check the alarm time or change it without wor about accidently turn the alarm off . I just receive it so I can not comment on long term durability , but so far I really like it and would recommend it to friend . however : if you be look for dual alarm or a lot of bell & whistle , then this be not for you . it be a very basic alarm clock . also , the beeper be not super loud so if you be a really deep sleeper who require a loud buzzer , then this might not be for you +191 AlarmClock POS 5 great product , I order two clock , one Darth Vader one for my everyday use , and I think I would also get this Stormtrooper one so Darth Vader would not be lonely haha . +358 AlarmClock POS 5 I purchase this small bedside clock for a gift . the person I purchase this for loved it !!! it have good quality look . I remove it from the tacky clear plastic package . it arrive early . +26 AlarmClock POS 5 even clever people be not up for a I.Q. test when the alarm go off in the morning . it be remarkable how poorly most alarm clock satisfy the requirement of be a alarm clock . this one be a notable exception . \* the adjustable back glow of the face can be make arbitrarily dim , so you can set the face to be just readable but not intrusive . \* the alarm set adjustment be readable and accurate to within a couple of minute . \* the alarm turn off with a big knurled switch on the side - the only switch on the clock . \* the alarm ramp from soft to loud over about a minute . why can not all alarm clock be as good ? +85 AlarmClock POS 5 the alarm clock be small enough and lightweight to carry throughout you trip , and be reliable for the day you need to wake up to catch a plane or bus ride . the clock fold to a compact size that prevent the user from accidentally click the button . when the clock be unfold , the case serve as a stand . the blue glow of the screen be easy on the eye , especially when you eye be accustom to the darkness . use 1 aaa battery , which I do not need to change in 7.5 month . the alarm be loud enough to wake I from sleep without scare I . only quirk about the clock be the snooze function , which allow I to sleep only a extra 4 minute before the alarm go off again . +281 AlarmClock POS 4 this be one of a few alarm clock that combine a lead display with a atomic clock . I like a atomic clock as it be always accurate and reset itself when switch between daylight savings time . the display be large and easy to read and , for I , not too bright . the shutoff for the alarm be on the top of the unit and be easy to reach . I like this clock so much that I buy one for my father . +23 AlarmClock NEG 2 I be very disappoint in this product . I wish I have not wait so long and I wish I be still able to send it back . the product be very difficult to use without a manual because the button be very poorly label . you would think that it would be a breeze to set a alarm clock that have only time\/day and alarm as its function , not so . there be 4 button , none of they be label hour or minute or alarm . they be label `` mode '' , `` set '' , `` adjust '' , `` receive '' . what do that mean ? it turn out that it be very simple to adjust the alarm once you have the manual ; you just have to memorize all the counterintuitive name . also , note that the alarm clock do not set itself right immediately after you put the battery in . it set itself right of it be volition after a while . sometimes the time-lag before it set itself right be hour . there be a way to set the time manually in the meanwhile , but you do not want to attempt that unless you have memorize the manual . this be a major drawback , if you travel often and you have to take off the battery when you put the alarm clock in the suitcase . I be really befuddle by the fact that with all the alarm clock that be label clearly enough to be set without the manual , this one be not . and I be no technophobe . I be one of those guy that like to learn about all the advanced option in he computer . +932 AlarmClock POS 5 I be perfectly satisfy with this wonderful travel companion and nap CONTROL assistant ! I treasure this magnificent little creation and handle it with adoring care ! after use it a few time I be so very impressed I purchase another one to lay in reserve . though my first clock gain a few minute per 3 or 4 day it be design be brilliantly user friendly in its every function and resete it be nearly as easy as batting you eye . stylish ! artistic ! affordable ! helpful ! +214 AlarmClock POS 4 I be study abroad in France , and need a very handy , light , alarm clock that work properly . it arrive in the time , I be tell it be go to arrive , and come with easy , straight-forward instruction . at first , I be a little worried because I be a very heavy sleeper , and need a a alarm clock whose alarm can accommodate that . on a test run , the alarm seem too weak , however , when I actually set it to wake I up one morning , the alarm work fine . I wake up . it be be a month now , and it still wake I up just fine and it show no sign of breaking . overall , I be happy with this alarm clock . also , let 's not forget , time be rough these day , especially for a student financially . this alarm clock be a cheap , great buy . +318 AlarmClock POS 5 great product , perfect condition , fast shipping ! get the product for my brother and he will love it ! it be very cool for star war fan ! +92 AlarmClock POS 4 the alarm clock be fine . all plastic but good quality . there be a couple of led on each side of the lcd screen that serve as backlighting , they vary in color depend on what model you get -lrb- i.e. Darth Vader glow red , storm trooper glow yellow -rrb- . it be a real shame the only sound this thing emit be a generic alarm clock sound . it would have be great if they include just a couple of Star Wars theme effects\/alarms . +497 AlarmClock POS 5 I have drop this thing on the floor , step on it , spill water all over it . I lose the back and the battery be hold in by mask tape and it still work . simple , but effective . +377 AlarmClock NEU 3 cute clock and cute idea but the vibration be not as strong as I have imagine . +221 AlarmClock POS 5 I wake up often during the night and need glass to see distance . I get so tired of strain to see the clock that I go on a web search to find `` the '' clock . this be it ! I can easily read this clock from across the bedroom without my glass -- the number be HUGE ! I know I be go to love it so I get two right off the top . the versatility be a extra bonus - I hang mine on the wall by my desk and the other be in my elderly mother 's bedroom sit on she dresser . one of the best purchase I have make in a very long time . if in doubt with this clock -- go for it ! +337 AlarmClock POS 5 I receive the Soleil Sunrise Sun Alarm clock a few year ago as a gift . live in northern latitudes I find it hard to get up in the morning , and , when finally coax out of bed from a buzz alarm clock , find myself quite groggy and still sleepy . this alarm clock change all of that ! the function be fairly simple to operate and navigate , and the include instruction be quite clear . the normal ` sunrise ' can be follow with a flash light function , and I have find that whether or not I wake to the initial sunrise , the flash light always wake I up . the only drawback -lrb- which I do not merit to be annoying enough to give it 4 instead of 5 star -rrb- be that the display be quite bright , especially in a completely dark room . the display do have two different brightness level , so you can dim it a bit , however its still fairly bright . I find that simply stick a dark color post-it or two in front of the display dim it sufficiently to enable I to sleep . +733 AlarmClock POS 5 price have be fluctuate between $ 16 - $ 23 for the past day . yeah $ 7 may not be much , but why exploit\/annoy potential customer ? +33 AlarmClock POS 4 it would work on a bedside table . however , I want to set it on a shelf , and you can not read the time if you be look up at it , because of the way the base proturde , this can not be adjust . I just unpack it and I be send it back . +196 AlarmClock POS 5 I buy this quiet , talented little clock for myself after search for the perfect alarm clock ... this be it . . and then my husband insist I get he one for travel ... +353 AlarmClock NEG 1 I buy this item for my boyfriend who be a big time Star Wars fan . when I receieve this item I be dissapoint to find that although I pay for a new item , the one I receieve be cleary USED . it have visible scratch on it even though it be in a protective box . also the neck of the clock be white unlike the rest of the body and face , it stand out and look very odd . overall unhappy and plan on return this item . +62 AlarmClock NEG 2 as other have say , the best thing about this clock be that I be able to see the huge number without my glass . it be also nice that the time be automatically set out of the box . I do find the number to be a bit too bright though . the real problem be that on arrival I notice the number on the clock be flicker a bit . not too badly at first , but definitely noticeable . in the middle of the night , the clock wake I up by make a high pitched whining noise . I pull the plug and return it the next day . at least the return be easy , and I buy a different clock that I end up liking better . +723 AlarmClock NEG 2 the Soleil Sun alarm clock do work . the light do turn on slowly , simulate a sunrise , and that do help I wake up . however , the quality of this piece be so disappointing , and I do feel take advantage of , because of the price . the radio in this unit be the cheapest they could get away with . the sound quality be poor , not even in stereo . the body be cheap plastic , and mine even have a blemish on the surface . the control be small and require patience to manipulate . and the light itself do not get all that bright . once the irritating-scratchy-mono-poorly-tuned radio wake I up , I also have to turn on another light in my room to really stay awake . I get this unit because it be the least expensive one I could find . it do help help I to wake up because of the light , but I still feel bitter that I have to pay that big of a price for such a poor quality unit . it be as if the Soleil Sun company be sit in they office say to themselves , `` eat my shorts ! we know there be nothing out there that be cheaper , so nyah-nyah ! '' +828 AlarmClock POS 5 item replace the clock that my father have since the 50 's . Terrific item ' +391 AlarmClock POS 5 you CA not find MUCH BETTER THAN THIS CLOCK if WANT A CLOCK you can see from across the room ... ... PRICE be great also . . +393 AlarmClock POS 5 love my clock , large number , I can see it clearly at night . love it !! good price too . +640 AlarmClock POS 5 great !! bigger than I think . the dot : colon in the MIDDLE do NOT flash . the clock have the correct time when I plug it in . I love this product . Easy to see at night . I only want a clock so I have not use the alarm feature and be not sure f it make a good alarm . excellent night time clock ! +709 AlarmClock POS 5 exactly what I want and need for a unbelievably low cost . you do not have to be a computer specialist or even know what `` digital '' mean to use it . thank heaven I now have one thing which my grandaughter do not have to put together or set in motion for I . +428 AlarmClock POS 5 love this travel alarm with nap feature . I have be purchase this feature 3 time since 1996 . I use it for nap of course , as well as a timer for kid program , do housework , and even bake . it be my main alarm clock in the house and camper . +27 AlarmClock POS 5 nice little clock for the money . Works well and easy to read in the dark . have hadno problem with this clock +125 AlarmClock POS 5 after use this clock for two year I have to finally replace it . I love this clock it be simple and stylish , and look absolutely great next to my bedside lamp . yes it may be a little flimsy - however not so much so that it interfere with its functioning . unless you be literally pound or step on it - it should hold up to everyday wear and tear . besides for the price it be a good buy . +865 AlarmClock NEG 1 I have have night light brighter than this `` sun '' clock . great concept but the lamp be a joke . +127 AlarmClock POS 5 initially i be hesitant to purchase this clock , becuase the review be so negative . but i go out on a limb and buy it anyway . the clock be EXACTLY what i want . I be a college student and the escalate alarm work perfectly so it be quiet enough to wake I up -lrb- I be a light sleeper -rrb- but not to loud to wake my roommate up . I absolutely love that it be analog , i much prefer it to digital . and i know some people where say it be smaller than they expect and i can say that be true , but it be still a lovely and function clock , not super large or anything . the only thing for I be that the picture of the clock be only different in one way really , the font . the font on the clock in the picture be different from the font on the actual clock -lrb- the number be write in a more normal text -rrb- . someone also say it be very wobbly , but that be not true it be very stable for I . I mean as long as you be not slam you entire arm on the thing to turn the alarm off , you should be fine . and it be a very soft tick clock , so its perfect for a light sleeper such as myself . actually the light ticking be kind of soothing ... +633 AlarmClock NEU 3 describe as a illuminated battery operate alarm clock be misleading . I want a small battery operate clock I could see the time clearly in the dark , without completely wake or press any button . seem to be a functional travel alarm . Know that you can not see the time in the dark without press the snooze button , which they say last 4 seconds illuminate . +427 AlarmClock NEG 1 useless . the off switch do not work , so clock would go off every 12 hour with no way to shut it up . throw it away after fuss with it for three day . +788 AlarmClock POS 5 it be almost tiny , really , so it really be a travel alarm . the alarm be loud enough to wake you and easy to set . the clock even come with a battery ! how often do that happen ? really a tremendous bargain . +708 AlarmClock POS 5 my daughter have not be late for school since I buy this as a second alarm clock ! she `` regular '' one be set ; this one be set for ten minute later and sit at the foot of she stair . if she get up on time she never have to hear this one ! -lrb- the variable tone and volume be a real plus too -rrb- +775 AlarmClock NEG 1 this be the worst alarm clock ever ! First of all the nature sound be five second blip that play over and over again . they not even decent sound . then when you mess with the setting the clock keep flash different color when you hit a button . if you have epilepsy beware ! I be recycle it maybe then it could do some good . Poor thing never have a chance . +655 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock mount on a wall easily although screw for do so be not include . I wish the alarm be a little bit louder but it be adequate . it be very easy to set and the large number make it easy to read . +559 AlarmClock POS 5 this little clock be great . it glow at night and you can set the amount of glow . Easy to read and set . great value for the money . would order again . +129 AlarmClock NEU 3 my son get this as a bday gift . he love the size , look and learning time with this item , leave he cheif complaint as , `` why do not it make the Star Wars song mam ? '' +209 AlarmClock POS 5 take this for a month long trip to Europe . best item to have . tour leave early in the morning and this alarm clock wake I up every time . the snooze only last about 4 min . and it be nice a compact for easy storage while travel from location to location . +18 AlarmClock POS 4 this sound machine\/duel alarm clock be a very good product and work as describe . I be afraid that the display would be too bright , but it have setting to dim it down that make it better . the unit itself be a lot smaller than expect , which be not bad . use the control be fairly easy after a few use , because the unit be very lite you may have to use two hand to make change . the 20 different sound loop be very good , and long enough not to be too noticeable when they begin again . the alarm clock work well and never have fail to wake I up yet . overall this be a good product especially for the price . I would recommend this product to anyone look for a good sound machine alarm clock . +639 AlarmClock POS 5 most travel clock be those that fold up to a travel `` package '' . this one just travel well . minimal packing effort yield a alarm clock that be accurate , give you the ambient temperature and simple function . spend a week or more in one location and you will welcome the simple feature of this atomicly accurate , digital clock . it be also nice that it tell you the ambient temperature . well worth the $ 20 that you will spend on this clock . and , it work well at home in the bathroom , kitchen , etc. . +486 AlarmClock POS 5 although this travel alarm may not be for everyone , it suit my need perfectly . it be display be large enough to read from a distance , it be easy to set and the alarm be loud enough to wake I . there be not anything I would change about it . +774 AlarmClock POS 4 I buy this clock because I want a `` set-and-forget '' clock that also have a thermometer . my major complaint about this clock be that in the two week that I have own it , it be never be able to sync with the atomic clock ! it keep try every night and never succeed . since return it be not worth the hassle , I decide to open it up and look inside . -lrb- I be a engineer , with some knowledge of how these circuit work -rrb- I be surprise to find that the the circuit inside look extremely cheap . there be a dry solder where the battery wire connect to the circuit board . the antenna -lrb- for the radio -rrb- have its wire short . everything look very sloppy in general . I then manage to separate the short on the antenna , hope that it would make the radio work . no luck . the radio sync still do not work . which be hardly surprising consider that the antenna itself be not cleanly wind ! it be unevenly wound by hand ! not machine wound . do I mention that the build quality be horrible ? I do not know if the clock 's circuitry have support for manage daylight savings or I have to reset it twice a year . I 'll find out in about 4 month I guess . but for the price , I guess it be a decent enough clock . it serve my purpose : maintain time fairly accurately and have a thermometer . I would really like to have the clock sync with the atomic clock via the radio though . Edit -lrb- 17-jan-2010 -rrb- : okay , so the radio feature finally work out , but it be still kind of flaky , work sometimes , do not sometimes . I be willing to now give this product the benefit of the doubt : maybe it be my location or something about the construction of my apartment that be the problem . I have revise the rating to 4 star now . would give it five star if only I have not open up the clock and see the shoddy construction . +366 AlarmClock NEG 2 the first photo that be list for this item be not what I receive . the subsequent picture -lrb- which I have assume be customer upload of `` similar '' clock -rrb- be of the product actually receive . the price be fair for a small alarm clock but it should be note it be not retro like the photo suggest . the outer design -lrb- top button and foot -rrb- be the same but the face look entirely different and far more modern that what I have expect . +648 AlarmClock POS 5 this be the second clock I order . the first be a digital which be hard to read . so I start look again and find this Elgin analog clock . my husband and I both love this clock because it be easy to read and the face of the clock lite up in the dark . +883 AlarmClock POS 4 be landlocked in tn , I miss the ocean . the `` surf be up '' offer a nice sound of wave come in & out ! the clock display be easy 2 read . only thing it need be a separate volume for the alarm & the sound U go 2 sleep with ! +345 AlarmClock POS 4 this be a great clock . the several other I purchase and return before I order this one have a display so bright it be like have a night light sit on the nightstand . this display be light only when you press the button on top and then only for a few seconds - a second or two longer would be good but it be ok the way it be . its feature all work great : the solar power , set itself from the atomic clock , and the date , time and temperature display . I have three complaint : press the button on top to turn on the indiglo night light to view the display make a fairly loud click noise , one can not choose to leave the indiglo light on -lrb- as one could on previous model of Timex alarm clock -rrb- , and the switch to turn the alarm on and off be not convenient . +439 AlarmClock POS 5 I order this as a birthday gift for my mom . she work over night on the weekend , and she take a clock to wake she up . so , I think , this would be perfect . it work very well , and it be so simple . just pop in a battery , and wait a few seconds , and the time go to the correct time . however , if like I you do not live on the west coast , you will have to follow the instruction for set you time-zone . overall , this be fantastic product . +16 AlarmClock POS 5 I be extremely pleased with this clock . I like the sound of the alarm . my only complaint be that although the face light up you have difficulty read the number at night . however , this would not prevent I from purchase another Elgin Battery-Operated Alarm clock . +917 AlarmClock POS 4 the clock work fine , but the alarm be not loud enough for the elderly relative I purchase it for . if you need a clock for some one hard of hearing , search for the `` sonic boom '' brand , it be what we end up purchase to replace this . +408 AlarmClock POS 4 this be a nice little alarm clock . the button to set the time and alarm could be a little bigger . +75 AlarmClock NEU 3 this be a okay alarm clock that work well , be easy to set , have a nice snooze feature , and have a initial beeping alarm that be not too loud but loud enough to wake I with out startling I . if ignore , the alarm get louder & more insistent by degree - a good feature but I never need it . it be larger than I expect -lrb- bigger than a softball , for reference -rrb- but not huge . the second hand sweep silently around the dial , no tick - nice . I give this a 3-star instead of 4 because the adjustable back light can not be turn off , only down to quite dim . however , the item description lead one to believe it can be turn off . I do not like a light shine at I all night , so this clock be a constant irritation . if I have know it can not be turn off , I would not have purchase the clock . also , since the back light can not be turn off , it make the push-button light rather pointless . +25 AlarmClock POS 5 I order this clock for myself as a replacement . I give mine to my niece as a gift with other travel inspire item , but only after I confirm that I coud purchase another one on Amazon . I love it . I use it every day and night both at home and on trip . it be lightweight , accurate and easy to see . and when you wake up in the middle of the night and want to know the time , the INDIGLO feature on the Timex be terrific . no need to turn on a light . the Timex require one aaa battery . the battery should last a long time and be easily accessible for replacement . the Timex base fold over the screen and be perfect for travel . I not only would order the Timex Indiglo Travel Alarm again , I already have . J.C. Sterne +192 AlarmClock POS 4 I get this alarm clock a few day ago and I have to say I really like it . the visual detail be great . the design be just like the new Daleks from the new Doctor 's series . you have the right larger base , the more prominent band around the arm , and the yellow for the eye stalk as well . the base be dot with the orb , even the clock be there ! durability wise it be a bit on the light side and feel a bit flimsy , especially the arm which almost feel like they be mean to come off and might any second . as a alarm clock it work great . the button be conceal in the orb on the base and it project the time on the cealing when you press down on the Dalek . there be three alarm sound plus the classic shout of `` exterminate '' if after 50 year of life with the doctor that doesnot get you move , nothing will . luckily to turn off the alarm you have to press the demo button on the side give you a chance to dodge the death ray so you can start you new day alive and well . my only real complaint be this morning when my alarm go off . I hear this whooshing noise outside then the doctor burst in and take the Dalek away shout about how it be a danger to the entire universe . doctor if you be read this please give it back , I promise to walk it and feed it and not to let it exterminate the cat . +725 AlarmClock POS 5 this be a simple-to-use travel clock . far easier to set or reset time and wake-up than other clock cost much more . my previous identical clock last over 12 year . +969 AlarmClock NEG 2 I buy this clock so that I could see the time in the dark . since I can not always reach or find the thing , I need it to be permanently back light and that be why I buy it . anyway , I guess that be my mistake and so this thing be useless to I . +293 AlarmClock POS 4 I gifted this to my husband , who be a Star Wars fan . he absolutely love it . however , do not expect to hear the Imperial March as you alarm . its just a generic alarm sound , but its still a fun piece . +222 AlarmClock POS 5 I work as the legal guardian to the elderly who be deem incompetent by the court . I buy this for one of my client who be 96 and reside in a nursing home . she be bedridden and have difficulty see the clock so I get she this one with large , bright number and she love that the power can go out and she do not have to wait for staff to come and reset it . when I give it to she I just have to literally plug it in and the correct time be set immediately which just astonish she ! : -rrb- +407 AlarmClock NEG 1 seriously , who make a digital alarm clock that do not have back-lit number on at all time ???? buy THIS CLOCK if see the time in the dark be NOT IMPORTANT to your child also note it come on military time with no instruction for how to change it BOOOOOO THIS CLOCK !!!! +626 AlarmClock POS 5 I want to be able to see this clock from across a large room . this one work great . I can read the time from 20 ft. . bright , clear number . it be also pretty neat in that somehow it know what time it be . I just plug in the clock and without any adjusting , the time be accurate . even work with the change in daylight savings time . +484 AlarmClock POS 4 the backlight be a little bright , but other than that , this be a good look alarm clock , and the sound be awesome . I highly recommend buy it for the price . have the 2 alarm that be easy to see and set be a bonus . +521 AlarmClock POS 5 Easy to use . good quality so far . a quiet clock at night . the alarm be loud enough . overall a good bedside alarm clock for the price . +686 AlarmClock NEU 3 no instruction in the booklet provide on how to set the actual alarm . very difficult to get set and now I be not really sure how I do it . the unit itself be attractive and the sound and sound choice be great but ... if you can not set the thing easily it be of little value . +233 AlarmClock POS 4 nice litte piece of kit . if u want this for a alarm clock , the clock display turn off after 10 seconds or so , so useless as a clock throughout the night . 20 sound be good noise , the white noise be not a calming noise , as smooth as say a fan . well make , just not loud enough to block outside noise if u want a kip Sunday afternoon or hotel room etc. . +394 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock be great for my daughter ! she be late for work 4 time in a month because she be not wake up to she alarm any more . . I get she this clock and she say that with the vibration there be no way she could sleep through this alarm ! +638 AlarmClock POS 5 my 5 y.o. son love this clock . we use it for when he know when quiet time be all do . I set the alarm for 2:30 pm -lrb- or whatever -rrb- and when it go off then he know he can come out of he room . this way he be not come out constantly ask if quiet time be do . he like that he can see what time it be even if it be dark in he room . +11 AlarmClock POS 5 after buy the green Moonbeam clock for myself , I purchase a pink one for a relative . the color of this clock be a much richer , deeper pink than the display picture suggest -lrb- in the picture , it appear almost salmon in color and look a bit wash out , which be NOT how it really look -rrb- . potential buyer also should know that , as with the other Moonbeam clock , the pink one also have a thin -lrb- and aesthetically please -rrb- silver band along the base of the clock that I personally could not see in any of the online picture . also , please note that those who do not wake up to the gently flash light -lrb- which be effective in itself -rrb- be treat to a cheerful ringing alarm instead of a cranky buzz . as with the green Moonbeam that I purchase , this pink one also work perfectly and delight its recipient , who have mention more than once what a pleasure it be to wake up to a softly light analog `` face '' instead of harsh red digital number . a perfect marriage of functionality , reliability , and a appearance that be 100 % delightful . finally , I should add that this clock add charm to any decor , since we be not into retro look . yes , this clock be a remake of a classic make by a classic manufacturer -lrb- westclox have be sell off , but the label on the bottom of both Moonbeam clock that I purchase from this site proudly read `` Westclox '' -rrb- , but it play well with room that be modern , minimalist , neutral , traditional , romantic , and any other style . +296 AlarmClock NEG 1 let I get this straight . it be a alarm clock for the shower ? who fall asleep in the shower ? if you do fall asleep in the shower be late be the least of you problem . maybe a gauze dispenser for patch up that crack skull would be a bit more handy . how ` bout it Coby ? +544 AlarmClock NEG 1 I have read the review about this Elgin Travel Alarm clock , but it be cheap enough I think I would give it a try inspite of the review . plus it be cheap enough that if it do not work , I would have spend more time and money to send it back so I have decide in advance to live with it and chalk it up to a lesson learn . besides , I have a similar model make by Timex that last a long time . question : where have Timex go ? so now , I will live with it but I will warn other ! as soon as I put the battery in , I find out the light do not work . I buy this model specifically for the light ! DO not waste your money ! +249 AlarmClock POS 5 just as another reviewer have state - it run three minute fast , and resetting do nothing to correct that problem . we , just like they , mentally subtract the three minute from the display . since get the clock , w have have we household power go out several time during storm , and when the power return - WOW it keep its own time during the outage - really great ! what be more - it can be see easily from anywhere in the darkened bedroom - and even more - the display be not too bright in the dead of the night . another annoyance , though , be the flash colon between the hour and minute display . we have put black mask tape over they , which do a good job of hide they when look straight onto the display - however they be still visible from a angle . Wish we could turn it off . +485 AlarmClock POS 4 clock be well make and work fine . Digital number easy to read as well . Amazon be the only place I could find this item . . great for travel since it fold up for easy packing +746 AlarmClock NEG 1 pro : inexpensive and multipurpose music and photo con : reliability -lrb- actually its lack of reliability -rrb- , manual not helpful a few month after get the Coby DP356 , it start to freeze up . seem to be a thermal issue as bottom get warm . unplug for about 10 minute get another 10-15 minute before it freeze again . +581 AlarmClock POS 4 the Dalek will wake you up ever time ... if you need the snooze option , you may not have a pulse ... the alarm be so effective , my wife shout `` I unlike Daleks !!! '' one morning because she could not get back to sleep ... +823 AlarmClock POS 4 I agree with my fellow owner of this neat little travel alarm clock in that it be compact , sturdy , well-designed and durable . my only complaint be that the snooze time be only 4 minute and it be not adjustable . that be a very short snooze and I would like 10 minute much better . better yet , make it adjustable and I would be a completely happy camper -lrb- traveler -rrb- . +910 AlarmClock POS 5 plus : 1 . this be a true atomic clock , none of the factory set wannabe 's . so it set itself from the Federal clock in Colorado . for example if congress scrap the DST in 3 year from now , the clock will correct itself after the rule be pass . 2 . nice led display easy to read in low\/high light . I have another atomic clock in lcd , the lcd clock emit too much light . the current clock be perfect to view . 3 . clear button for alarm & time zone -lrb- CST , EST. . . -rrb- button be minimal , useful and functional . 4 . Lighweight , and use a battery for power outage 5 . alarm volume be fine . I be normal sleeper and have no issue hear it . 6 . for a price -lrb- include shipping = $ 27 -rrb- . well worth the money . the other option be from brookstone etc and way too expensive . negative : so-so look . will not stand out as a cool clock . recommend . +773 AlarmClock POS 5 buy it . I have have one of these for year . superb timekeeping , long-lasting battery . the light be a bit dim , but adequate . I use it at home and for travel . a trusty friend . +594 AlarmClock POS 4 first , I love this clock . I love that there be no cord and that it do not light up until you push the top button to see the time in the dark . the only downfall be that it initially get we time-zone correct at my office and then change itself to a incorrect time-zone when I take it home ... the weird thing be that we be no where near the time-zone its display . so , when we look at the clock - we know to add a hour for the actual time . a little annoying , but I would still purchase again as this seem like a minor flaw that we have learn to work around . +431 AlarmClock NEU 3 as a giant LEGO Star Wars minifugre , this execution be awesome . a giantfig , if you will . my 4 year old love stomp around through star war fight scene with this guy , wield he massive giant Darth Vader power . he cary it around like a giant doll , and show everyone he meet . he even sleep with it ! it be a great play toy . unfortunately , as a clock , this thing suck . the display be dark , and even in light there be often a glare , prevent you from see the time without move . the display be busy , with the alarm time always show up below . I be try to teach my boy to read digital clock , but he get confuse with all of the different number on the clock . the alarm time should only show up when the alarm be actually ON . the back-light be red , and beautiful , but it be far too SHORT . it be only on for about 5 seconds , then go off . so of course , my son just keep press he head over , and over and over and over . should stay on for 10-15 seconds , minimum . and of course the main complaint : no star war music !!! I fully expect the imperial march to play when the alarm go off , or even better , a button to play it at will . how come , pray-tell , can i buy a stupid Hallmark card with Darth Vader 's breathing , talk , and the Imperial March for $ 3.99 , but a $ 25 dollar darth vader clock just `` beep '' ? total fail . pro : beautiful , scale giant-minfig , with move part . nice bright red backlight con : no starwar music ! difficult to see the time during the day , impossible at night . backlight be too short -lrb- ~ 5 -rrb- , should be twice as long helmet do not come off clock be too busy . should display ONLY time if alarm be off . no light-saber summary : buy this as a giant minifig or very nice lego display statue . the clock part be a total afterthought . +108 AlarmClock POS 5 i buy this clock for when i go to jail , it work great wake I up every day and the batt . last a long time +239 AlarmClock POS 5 I like this digital ! the number be large and easy to read at night , even without my glass . it be easy to tell the time and I like that ! +120 AlarmClock NEU 3 light not as bright as I have find in my previous dawn alarm . -lrb- previous alarm be 240 volt , 50 amp ; so I would have to sell it before move to my current residence\/country , which be 110-120 volt , 60 amp . -rrb- in fact , I find that this alarm do little toward help to awaken I . it be nice to be awaken to what feel like SOME light in the room -lrb- feel more like a night light , really -rrb- , as oppose to no light . but ... Snooze button be difficult to operate . one need to grab the whole alarm to turn it on . as the bulb area be a little warm , this mean nearly burn finger . if I be to do it again -lrb- and I might , if I become sufficiently perturb with the problem identify above -rrb- , I would look for a light with higher lumen -- and I would pay more attention to location of snooze button . +628 AlarmClock POS 5 great clock ... large easy to read hand ... this clock keep excellent time . . it be too big to put in you suitcase for travel but good for home usage . +95 AlarmClock POS 4 I be enjoy my smarter image alarm clock . it have several `` natural '' sound setting which gear more towards the relaxing go to sleep mode , however I do enjoy wake to rainforest sound or wind chime rather then buzz alarm or ridiculous morning radio dj . there be some `` heart pound '' and `` get you motor run '' sound program as well . +656 AlarmClock NEU 3 the clock look great . it be moveable . however , the only way to see the clock in the dark be to press the head down to have it temporarily light-up . not very useful as a bedside clock to help a child decide when to get up . +612 AlarmClock NEG 1 this product sound good , but do not live up to its description . the clock run fast , and the radio be cheap . the built-in light be very small and dim . I get the converter to be able to use my own lamp in addition , and this provide enough light , but I still have 2 problem with it . first , the light increase be step-wise in seven level , not smooth . with my brighter light , the increase be noticeable and jolt I awake too fast . second , the alarm-light function on this clock do not work properly . for example , I set it to reach full light at 6:30 be on a 30 minute cycle . it start the cycle early , shut off the light completely at 6:15 , and turn it back on at full brightness again at 6:30 . not exactly a gradual waking process . I would not recommend this product at all . there be other much better product that do not cost that much more than this . go with one of they , you 'll be happier . +658 AlarmClock POS 4 this be a piece of junk which ACTUALLY work and do the job . it not only serve the purpose for which it be intend but it also cost less than a few hour ' work at minimum wage . never mind the likely deplorable wages -lrb- if any -rrb- at the chinese factory . the back of this table radio be truly cheap . as long as you do not turn the set backwards -lrb- to reveal the shoddiness of the material -rrb- or blast the volume to reveal the speaker 's inability to handle megawatt , you 'll manage to impress whichever inquisitive friend who happen to cross you living room or bedroom threshold . I have no clue as to how much the single -lrb- mono -rrb- speaker can handle ; keep the volume down and the cone should survive as long as the rest of this good and cheap radio . the fake wood veneer truly look fake , unless it be be examine by drunken eye . there be 10 am preset , which can be directly-tune ; same go for fm : there be 10 fm preset , which can be directly access . basically , once you have program - med the 20 preset , all you later have to do to tune in to any of you 20 favorite station be to reach for the direct-touch button -lrb- which have be dedicate to that station -rrb- and press the button 1 time . the only other keystroke which you 'll have to perform so as to surf between preset station be the press of the button for AM\/FM band . once the radio be on -lrb- and the volume be more or less at a satisfactory level -rrb- , it 'll take only two keystroke maximum : one to switch band -lrb- from AM to FM , or from FM to AM : same button do both -rrb- , and one to select the particular station of interest . the distinct advantage that this afford a preoccupy individual be that with one dainty finger -lrb- which be relatively clean\/dry -rrb- it be simple and easy to instantly pinpoint and immediately hear any station out of ten . this at-a-glance , light-touch-results feature be , imho , the best aspect of this humble , unpretentious ac radio . to get the instant-access preset tuning feature with other model by other manufacturer , you would easily have to spend 100 dollar US -lrb- although they be much more solidly build , have stereo , have pll fancy tuning , and can blast music without endanger a speaker -rrb- . the list price supposedly be 50 -lrb- a gyp -rrb- ; target have it for 20 w\/o tax -lrb- tax additional -rrb- at its walk-in cash-and-carry store in NYC . for you to order it over the web via Amazon from target be a good deal -lrb- even though it cost more than in person -rrb- because you time spent to shlep over to a bricks-and-mortar store will defeat CASH SAVED -lrb- plus you 'll get hungry midway , which mean more cash go -rrb- the color of the digit dispay be a -lrb- imho -rrb- pleasant cobalt blue . I prefer the blue over the standard-issue red or green , even though red and green supposedly help to preserve night-vision . color : ok btw , you might consider order two piece -lrb- two jcr-425 's -rrb- . it be not possible to successfully cannibalize a defunct one , but there be a two-fold advantage to the get a second one in the order : - when -lrb- eventually\/inevitably -rrb- the first one conk out , you trash it or give it to a older boy for he to take apart for fun ; - when you order both at once you only get hit 1x for the postage +834 AlarmClock POS 5 I have have my Sunrise clock for over five year and it have make get up , especially in the winter when it be so dark , much easier and less jarring than a blare alarm sound out of the blue . it finally die yesterday , and I order a replacement today . I 'll have to make do with a traditional alarm clock until mine come . I highly recommend the sunrise alarm clock ! +647 AlarmClock POS 5 it arrive quickly and be just what I want . I be very happy with my purchase . +176 AlarmClock POS 5 the time come to retire the old alarm clock and the dh just about play tap . until I present he with this one . it have a nice silver , sleek appearance . the number be large enough for he to see even without he contact . have the date and also show the time the alarm be set at without have to click any button . have a please neon yellow-green back light and the time be project on the ceiling be big number . it run on a combination battery and electrical current , so that be the light go out the clock do not ! since this time of year see a lot of storm and lose power -lrb- more than we would like ... lol -rrb- this be a very handy feature . Easy to use and make the dh quite the happy camper . for those seek a simple clock , no radio etc. . this be just about perfect . +37 AlarmClock POS 5 love this machine so many different sound you can choose to listen too . my old machine only have 5 different sound so this be quite the upgrade . drown out almost all sound . highly recommend this product . +796 AlarmClock POS 5 this be a cool-looking clock that work great as a alarm . the main reason we buy it be because the digital face of we previous alarm clock be too bright . you can adjust the brightness of the face of this clock or not have it light at all . the `` moonbeam '' wake-up component do not work for we as far as wake we up , but the alarm that follow be pleasant and loud enough to work . but not too loud or obnoxious . this clock look great in we bedroom - very retro and classy . we want the green one for we guest room . +478 AlarmClock POS 5 when I receive the item , I be surprised how much I like it . this item make a great conversation piece ! +414 AlarmClock POS 5 Amazon make my day . I love this clock as I have to look at time and have to have light in night so with this clock number be large and bright and I be totally extatic . highly recommend for people with eyesight problem . highly recommend for people who have clustorphobia . +671 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock be perfect for travel . I have not use the alarm function yet , but it work fine , and in the dark , the florescent kick in . neat look clock that fit on my window sill . +766 AlarmClock POS 4 my son absolutley love he new alarm clock and love to pose it . it be a nice size and fit well beside the bed . I would agree with other though that it would be nice to have light up number so you can see it easily at night . and for whatever reason I be hope the alarm would be something a little unique like a Darth Vader voice tell you to wake up . oh well ... if you have any Star Wars fan in the family they would really like this . the delivery be quick also +990 AlarmClock POS 5 finally !!!!!! a clock like this that be totally silent ! no ticking , second hand sweep . yay ! I be very happy with it . Works perfectly . alarm sound be not too loud or jarring at first , get progressively louder . if you can not stand the ticking , here 's you clock . +609 AlarmClock NEG 2 Registered for this soothing sound clock from sharper image . the variety of sound be nice , but I be very disappointed with the quality of sound . it sound very cheap and not too clear . sound like a generic radio , like Emerson or something . . if you be not too concerned with sound quality , this would make for a fine soother alarm clock . if you like some clarity in sound and look for good quality , pass this item . +635 AlarmClock NEG 1 the alarm on this clock never get loud and sometimes do not even work at all . where do the c cell go that you state be require ? it take 3 aa cell . sorry I purchase this clock . +78 AlarmClock POS 4 as other reviewer have mention , this seem to be the only clock of its kind out there . it be the most sensible clock I have ever own . I have it set for a earlier time twice a week on the day that I run , and for a later time on weekend day . I do not hear a pop when the radio come on , so it be so slight I do not even notice it . the shortcoming be slight but I will mention they . to set the alarm you use the big knob on the top , and it make a fairly loud crank noise which can be kind of annoy to you sleep spouse . the other thing be that the little display that tell you if the alarm be on or not be very tiny - it would be nice if it be bigger . overall though this be a great alarm clock and I recommend it for anyone who do not get up at the same time every day . +783 AlarmClock POS 5 it do what it be suppose to do and look good do it . the instruction manual say the battery will only last about a month , but they seem to be work at a more typical rate . one main concern I have when buy this clock be the sensitivity of the sound sensor ; it be actually not hypersensitive . sound must be medium-loud or else very close -lrb- like set a mug down next to it -rrb- . I be very pleased with the clock . Kikkerland be a great company ! +404 AlarmClock POS 5 I have have my travel soother for a decade . no problem , and I use it every night to drown out car noise . I also take it with I for hotel , camping , etc. . if street noise , snore mate , etc. keep you up , this be for you . take perhaps one week to get use to . +42 AlarmClock POS 4 I have have and use this alarm for six year and be about to buy another one . I do not know what other reviewer be refer to when they say the light be not bright enough : it be not intend to be a reading lamp . I buy it because I be sometimes sleep through my alarm clock . the light be definitely bright enough to wake I up , and if I choose , I can be awaken by the radio and the light . I love this alarm . my only complaint be that mine develop a short a few month ago , and when I want to play the radio , it suddenly either go really soft or blare quite loudly . but overall , it be be great . highly recommend . +953 AlarmClock NEG 1 not a good purchase : 1 -rrb- the lcd be so bright that you can read a magazine at night on its lowest setting . I find myself throw a pillow over it to block the light - with obvious consequence . 2 -rrb- durability be poor . my unit only last 5 month . it begin to intermittently `` go quiet '' and would not make a noise . fiddle with the power cord enable it to make sound . but a alarm clock that will not reliably alarm be rather a waste of time . Brookstone would not fix this or replace it as it be out of warranty . my last clock be ancient at 12 year . but it be reliable . I choose reliable over cool look . +673 AlarmClock POS 5 I get tire of the new fangled gadjet not work or have to be a engineer to make they work . this alarm be simple , loud and will last many year . I have to hunt for it but be glad to see it be still in production to replace my old one which after many year give up the ghost . +976 AlarmClock NEG 1 it be so small it do not bother I at all . if light really really bother you this may work . it be a lot of money for very little product . I now have a biobrite with white noise . I wish the BioBrite have a radio instead of a beep backup , but I be not asleep by then anyway since the light have wake I up . +644 AlarmClock NEU 3 it be loud enough to wake up someone who sleep with earplug . on occasion the alarm do not go off . I remember one time in particular . something jolt I awake but the alarm be not beep . it go off for a split second at the proper time but do not keep beeping . I remember a few other time in which I wake up late but notice that everything on the alarm be set correctly . sometimes it do not go off , or only go off for a split second . to have the back-light not flicker , you have to press on the big button on the top really hard and put pressure on just the right spot . use it as a back-up alarm . +101 AlarmClock NEG 1 the product I receive do not work . after a few hour the clock would start flash , as though it have shut off and then turn on again . the time setting would be lose . I return the product . +872 AlarmClock NEG 1 ... otherwise this be the worst example of assembly I have ever see . when i get my Elgin 3675E clock , the dial face be attach wrong , skewed about 20 degree clockwise . the number 12 be where 1 should be , 1 be live in 2 's home , 3 be at the 4 o'clock position and so on . the Amazon description say the clock use 2 `` c '' battery , so I buy some . the clock use 3 `` aa '' battery ! so , silly I , I think I could live with the clock and its crooked face because of the automatic night-light feature -- which work perfectly by the way . but on 3 fresh battery it lose time . about 15 minute per hour . I can watch the sweep second hand stop and start as it run . I want my money back ! +49 AlarmClock POS 5 after use for 15 year everyday and everywhere , somebody sit down on it and break it . I be so happy they be still availabe . until I get they for all my grandchild who be not bear yet , please keep make this wonderful clock . +227 AlarmClock POS 4 the clock work as advertise and as the comment of other state . Came quickly and set up easily . direction be not great but can be use . +317 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock be just what I be look for . the only problem I have be that I can not set the snooze alarm time myself . other than that , I love this clock . +826 AlarmClock POS 5 my wife love this clock she as ahard time of see with out she glass she can see the number with out any problem great product thankyou +52 AlarmClock NEG 2 the idea of this alarm clock be very appealing : a alarm clock that can be easily individualize for the day of the week . here , however , be the reality in two bullet point : 1 . the tuner be awful . within ten minute of have locate a staion the focus have slip and you have to relocate it or listen to gradually worsten static . 2 . the alarm clock component be about 95 % accurate . think on that ... 5 % of the time you will not be awaken . my partner and I have have it for a year and for the longest time think that one of we have do something wrong in set it . or we be sure that we have do it right but wake up late have not make we tardy for anything . this morning be the last straw , though . 5 % , when you be depend on this little monster be not good enough . and now , off to shop Amazon for a new clock radio . +646 AlarmClock POS 5 this thing be loud , but have volume control . the vibrate feature shake my child out of bed ! love it ! +384 AlarmClock NEU 3 the good : the unit have a nice big display , many sound choice , big button and be relatively easy to figure out how to set time , sound and dual alarm . not sure if it block out the sound that i need it to so perhaps a little more information about the theory about how this white noise and other sound be suppose to substitue and improve one night sleep . I would say that some night i use it be sleep better and other night i do not use it , I sleep better . the reverse be also true at this time . the bad : my wife and I have accidentally knock this clock of the night stand then off the dresser a total of three time and finally break it , in less than one month . I do not thing i have knock and alarm clock down three time in my whole life prior to this . my point be the clock be very light and shaped in a way that seem to make it not balanced with a center of gravity . it easily slide off when one be fumble with the button in a half awake state or in the dark . Improvements need : a center of gravity design for case or better base that be slip resistant . 2nd : light button to turn on\/off the alarm and setting button so they can be identify in low light or in the dark . this could be a stretch on my part but I reality be that someone may want to go to bed after it get dark out or may even want to wake up before the sun be up , thus have a subdue led button might be usefull on this type of device . +613 AlarmClock NEU 3 I just can not seem to find a atomic travel alarm that satisfy all my need . I have a lot of confidence in Lacrosse but this digital alarm clock do not really meet the standard of a Lacrosse time piece . I do not know what I expect but the product I receive seem a little cheap look . unlike the expensive Casio clock I purchase a while ago -lrb- which , by the way , have a mind of its own regard time zone , -rrb- the control button on this clock be easier to use and the instruction be even on the clock . will it work for I ? I suppose so , but it definitely be not a product to become excited about . +719 AlarmClock POS 5 my mother want a clock with number she could see at night . the extra large number , the largest I could find , be very clear from across the room to she . it be use also as a sort of `` night light '' to see about the room if she have to get up in the night . you also have the option of dim the number if it seem too bright for you . Easy to set alarm , and shut off which she love . at a very reasonable cost it be a perfect gift for the senior citizen or anyone who have difficulty see . +997 AlarmClock NEG 1 within 6 month of purchase this item , the button control the 2nd alarm mode would get stick and be difficult to set . six month later the sound stop work altogether . be a good product while it last , but for the price it should have last longer . it must be make in China . +661 AlarmClock POS 4 replace a old scanner with this one . a good value for the money it have more bell and whistle than I need and find the reception on the FM and AM not too terrific but I do not buy it for that . Uniden put out a quality product with decent manual to program . although I still have a slight problem understand the grouping of priority channel . but undertand , I be technically challenge so do it at all be a accomplishment . do not hesitate to to recommend . +193 AlarmClock POS 4 the clock be small , sleek and make by a reputable company . the only disappointment be the backlighting to view the clock in the dark . it be so dim you can barely read the time . from all of the other review I read before purchase , everyone seem to have a favorable opinion of its funtion and long-lasting battery . I hope that be true as I have not use it yet . +190 AlarmClock NEG 2 pay 20.99 for the clock . it work as promise first six month . BUT it stop work in 6 month , go dark and nothing can be do to turn the light back on . it seem like if I return it I have to pay for ship both way . not sure why if the product be defective i have to pay for shipping . +41 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock leave out all the nonsense , and do exactly what you need it to do . different alarm time for each day of the week , a absolute must for sleep in on the weekend , or for hold a second job . I prefer this one over the executive , as I can not sleep with a bright display light up my whole room . the design truly be well think out , and so simple to understand and intuitive ... it be one of the better alarm clock I have ever own . I would recommend it to friend and family , for anyone with a weekend job , or just look for a great clock . -lrb- ... -rrb- as a side note , this company be american , but the clock be build in China . +155 AlarmClock NEG 1 this `` alarm '' clock be a fine travel clock for tell time . but it be unsatisfactory as a alarm clock . the low volume beeping noise be not loud enough for anyone to hear unless they be a very young person who have perfect hearing . for most adult , it be worthless as a alarm clock . a note should be add to the advertisement for this clock model that you must have perfect hearing to use this clock as a `` alarm '' clock . +892 AlarmClock NEU 3 this unit be ok but it could use a digital tuner with some pre-set instead of the old dial type . antenna be a little wimpy , too . the cd player need to be treat with care when close the top , other than that it seem to work ok . we will see how well it hold up with future use . this be purchase mainly because of the dual voltage switch , as it will be use world wide . +98 AlarmClock POS 5 my brother love he lego Darth Vader , when you take it out of the package he say it look like ep 3 where Anakin become Darth Vader . `` PADME !! '' +754 AlarmClock POS 4 otherwise , this alarm clock be very good . it have a light which be turn on by press the snooze button when the alarm be not go off . it have a date setting , but I do not use it . one thing that cost I a tardy at school be the fact that it be hard to tell whether it be set to be or PM . to solve this , pay careful attention or set it to 24 hour . +986 AlarmClock POS 5 excellent product . Works just like advertise . no problem purchase and receive this item . +798 AlarmClock POS 5 I be a sailor and sometimes have to sleep with ear plug in , so I need a loud alarm clock . on low level , it be not too loud for normal use . I give my clock away to a friend and have just buy a replacement . good quality construction . I also like the slightly longer-than-normal snooze time . +524 AlarmClock POS 5 Problem free for the year I have own it . Compact so it be great for travel . Easy to set time , alarm time , etc. . I would buy this item again . +895 AlarmClock NEU 3 this be a pretty clock , and I like the sweep second hand . it keep accurate time . the price be right . one big problem - the alarm do not work . it would be a better deal if it cost a dollar more and the alarm work . +802 AlarmClock POS 4 I really enjoy this product ; however it seem to wear out after a while . it would be important to keep in mind that this be a water resistant product and not water proof . I think that be where I go wrong . I think some water accidentally get in and scramble thing up , but this be my fault and not really a fault with the product . I highly suggest have a shower radio , it be great tool for relaxing and can make you shower oh so much better . +724 AlarmClock NEU 3 my clock do not look like the one picture above . I look for the model number on the SkyScan web site , and could not find it - not even with a search of the site . hmm ... the atomic function work once for I when I first get it , but it do not seem want to update the time . that first time be not easy either . I have much trouble before it finally decide -lrb- on its own -rrb- to update . I have try place it in a west-facing window , but to no avail . I have try take the battery out and start from scratch , but still no update since the first time I get it . even push the `` wave '' button do not accomplish a update . on the bright side , the clock seem to keep good time -lrb- maybe it update occasionally , who could really know ? -rrb- . the projection function be what I want , and that be superb . the number project be large and in focus -lrb- clock have a focus knob and one that change the angle of the digit -rrb- . I definitely can not complain about the projection . I have never use the alarm , so I can not say as to how that work . I just wish the update function would readily work . and , yes , I know that we receive the atomic signal in southeastern Ohio , because my other atomic clock adjust without issue . +361 AlarmClock POS 4 this clock have a antique look that will go with any decor in you home . the only problem I have with this clock be that you have to hit the button on top for the back light to come on so you can see the time . Kind of a pain when you have no idea what time it be since you have to find the button on the top in the dark to see what it read . by then you have wake up from the frustration of it all since you have to play hide and seek with the button . okay ... so maybe it be just I . the alarm be good and get louder the longer you let it ring . it will wake you up unless you can sleep through just about anything . +178 AlarmClock NEG 2 buy this despite mixed review from previous customer . as mention by other it gain approximately 3-4 min in a week . also the Indiglo display isnt that great . it be very hard to see the time display during the day . Bottomline . . always look through customer review and think hard and long if a product you be consider buy have bad review . Update : Display be all mess up after just one battery change . Stay away from this product +617 AlarmClock POS 5 best clock ever . we have 3 of they and they be fantastic both in the home and travel . definately recommend . +705 AlarmClock POS 5 I look at customer review when I be shopping , & one review state the number be huge . yes they be & can be see from a good distance away if you have it setup on a dresser or something else . it be get a backup battery already install & the time be set at the factory . I do not have to set it , just plug it in , so I all I can say be `` nice '' : -rrb- +461 AlarmClock POS 4 I like this clock because it be very easy to use ; the number be large , which make it easy to see from a distance , and it fold up easily . for the money , it be a pretty good clock , unfortunately the night light be much too dim , and it be very hard to make out the time at night . +481 AlarmClock POS 4 have two of these and really like they . my only complaint be they be not attractive ! +454 AlarmClock NEU 3 this be a fairly low end clock . the clock display be dim and will only work after insert three aa battery , the attach power cord be only for the projection portion . once the battery be install , the display on the clock be on the dim end of the spectrum . the projection be great and it be good to have focus and rotation control . for the projection portion I give this clock \*\*\*\*\* , but for the overall clock , it only get \*\*\* +148 AlarmClock NEG 1 I wish I listen to the review that be up here already . this this make I feel like I be swim in a sea of light at night . at certain angle the screen look like a rainbow . when you snooze it make a noise the entire time you wait for the alarm to go off again . no good cheap chinese product ... +60 AlarmClock POS 4 I buy this clock in January 2010 from JustCalculators for $ 13.99 with free shipping -lrb- no super saver shipping minimum either -rrb- . I would recommend this seller , who ship promptly . for some reason another seller think that this clock should sell for $ 45.99 . please . this be just you very basic alarm clock . I buy it because my old Casio one , extremely similar but make in Japan , be 40 -lrb- yes , you read right -rrb- year old , and start work erratically . this clock , make in China , look very plastic in person , but not too unattractive . because of other review , I want to see how it would work for at least a month before review . so far , it have keep flawless time . also , I have not experience the problem other have of the alarm not go off at the exact time . however , I tend to set it for a hourly\/half hour time , like 6 or 6:30 a.m. versus something like 6:20 , which might make a difference . the only thing that I do not like about it be that it be not too easy to read the clock in the dark . the hand light up , but the number do not . my old one have a button you could press that would light up the entire dial . that feature be lack on this clock . in the meantime , after I buy this clock , my old Casio alarm clock start work regularly again . figure . I do not own much that be older than that first Casio clock . Let 's hope this second one be so durable . this review will be promptly update in the event that any problem arise with the new clock . +721 AlarmClock POS 5 I love this thing . I keep it set on hourly chirping . I spend half the year in Seattle with only crow and seagull . this clock remind I so much of home in the Carolinas with the chirping of various bird and it be fun to guess . I put it on the deck with the raptor card hope to scare away unwanted critter . . that have only frightened the cat , however . +995 AlarmClock POS 5 the clock be very cute . the snooze button be in a great place , and the increase volume of the alarm be something helpful to most people . good buy , quick service . +659 AlarmClock POS 5 I love all of the nature sound there be to pick from . my favorite be the windchime . +715 AlarmClock POS 4 pro : - reasonable alarm sound -lrb- for light-medium sleeper -rrb- - compact and extremely portable - lightweight yet sturdy ; size that fit the falm of you hand , yet have a foldable stand - good lead light , clear indication of the size of each button - affordable and matching with many type of furniture , color , etc Cons : - not user friendly - adjust time , alarm , difficult due to the one direction limit digit go only higher till 59 and reset to 0 -rrb- +89 AlarmClock POS 4 this be my favorite alarm clock I have ever have . it be a very high quality product . it have a easily readable display , adjustable light , and two alarm . however , some may be disappoint that it be just a alarm clock , nothing else . it do not have the date , temperature or secondary time or radio -lrb- the other one do -rrb- . also , I must say that the alarm be very very loud and get louder and louder until you turn the alarm off or hit the snooze . I ultimately wake up with headache after hit the snooze several time . some people may like the loudness . so although this be my favorite alarm clock , I have decide to use something else . definitely recommend . +786 AlarmClock NEG 1 Ok so we receive this product last week and be immediately disappoint . the silver face plate be hold on by two little clip on each end . it be lay in the box and would not stay on the machine . we plug it in and start go through the sound . we find the rain and let it play for a little bit , then the thunderstorm , then rainforest and so on ... because when play the rain it sound like a very short clip . turn out all of these clip be 10 seconds ! how in the world be that suppose to be relax ? listen to the same 10 second clip over and over again ? it be so aggrivating . and the clip be not even great clip to begin with . we be send this back . horrible product . Wish I have not waste we time and money on this . the sharper image ec-b100 sound Soother Alarm clock +522 AlarmClock POS 5 you have get to love this alarm clock . it be definitely a conversational piece . this be the second one I buy , they work great and be a refreshing change from plain old alarm clock . +940 AlarmClock POS 4 it arrive and work as promise . the only negative be that the light do not light up enough to see the time at night when you push the button . +30 AlarmClock POS 5 we love this clock . I buy it for my 8 year old daughter who can sleep through anything . anything , that be , except this clock . you can hear the alarm all over the house . I be glad I finally find something that will wake she up . +878 AlarmClock POS 5 ALMOST do not get it due to one review about it be ` too small ' -lrb- its not -rrb- and one say it get knock over easily -lrb- it do not -rrb- and one say it make too much ` noise ' -- say what ? I have it by my ear and do not hear it and I have great hearing . so to each he own ... but I get this clock for the bedside table and a extra alarm . the alarm be great ... start slowly and more quietly and build which be great . and this clock do not topple over ... stand extremely well-just as well as my other clock and it look sooooo rich and be a perfect size . . go to order another one for my bathroom as it look nice in there too ! you 'll be glad you get this one -lrb- re : the backlight -- or side light -- not too bright but I dont use that feature often anyhow -rrb- Hope this help ! +352 AlarmClock POS 4 without the vibration thing attach , I still sleep through this alarm ... quite frequently . it be really cute , but if you be buy it to wake a really deep sleeper then maybe we be both better off buy scream meanie ; I think that be what I be go to end up do , actually ... there be a lot of plus with this alarm clock , though . the fact that you can change the alarm tone 's pitch be pretty awesome , because I do better with higher pitched alarm . most alarm today be pretty low pitch . and the vibrate thing help to wake you up if the alarm alone do not cut it , but girl beware , you husband will pick on you about it . like the title of my review say , depend on how deep you sleep and personal preference . +674 AlarmClock POS 5 this be a great travel alarm ! it be exactly what I be look for . it be tiny -lrb- 2 1\/2 '' x 1 3\/4 '' x 1\/2 '' -rrb- and the alarm be loud -lrb- I sleep with ear plug , so I need something to wake I through they -rrb- . however , I can not imagine it would be too loud for those who do not . it be very easy to set and the night light be bright . and the price be right . I be very , very satisfied . +119 AlarmClock POS 5 I have have one of these for about 16 year . the same one . in daily use as a alarm clock at home , as well as go with I when I travel . it be durable enough I often put it in check luggage . some of the write around the button be start to rub off finally . about a decade ago I drop it in a parking lot -lrb- with the case open -rrb- and one of the two little plastic ratchet tab that hold it open or closed break . the other one have hold it open or closed fine ever since . the alarm sound be quite nice , pleasant to wake up to but -lrb- importantly -rrb- loud enough to wake up to . it keep very accurate time , much better than a far more expensive one I win about 5 year ago . the backlight start to get dim and the alarm sound weak when the battery get low , but that be not often . I replace the battery every 5 year or so , fairly common watch battery and easy to find . you 'll get plenty of warn before it wind up run so low it will not alarm , so it be very trustworthy to rely on when you need to be up . if mine ever do die I be glad to see they be still available . +160 AlarmClock POS 5 I buy this for my parent -lrb- 88 and 95 -rrb- so they can see the time easily when they wake up at night . it have many other feature but they just like the very large number and the strong elimination . +174 AlarmClock NEU 3 I buy this because it have 20 different sound . the sound be clear and lifelike but loop often which take away from the relaxation effect . I like the two different alarm , the volume and backlight be all fine in my opinion . +903 AlarmClock POS 4 small to carry and easy to use -lrb- once I figure out how to open the control panel -rrb- . unfortunately , the alarm be very loud and sudden , do not gradually work up to maximum , so it be rather jarring to wake up to , but it do the job . +926 AlarmClock NEG 1 I would not recommend this product . I purchase one and when I go to use it the CD player skip on every cd I try . it be extremely temperamental and would skip at the slightest movement ... even just I touch it to push the play button . the CD door be very cheap and do not feel like it close . I think maybe the one I buy be defective so I exchange it . no such luck ... the second one be even worse . I have the same problem as the first and then some . this one buzz when the power be turn off and stop buzz when the power be turn on . and , the `` clock set '' button would not work so I could not set the time . I have a COBY portable dvd player as well which be not very old and the screen go off and on . needless to say I do not think I 'll be purchase another COBY product in the future ! +678 AlarmClock POS 4 I purchase this for my son for Christmas . . as he have trouble fall asleep . what a great device ... every nite he be able to choose a different sound , but find the ocean the easiest and quickest way to fall asleep . would definitely recommend ! +939 AlarmClock NEG 1 beware the top-rated review ! it be review a different clock ! it state that the hour and minute can be set with button that move the time up and down . instead , this clock require you to go through 23 hour if you accidentally overshoot by one . worse , if you overshoot the year by one , you have to go through 99 year to get to the correct one . the clock be also essentially unusable by anyone over 40 . read glass will allow you to read the alarm-time digit , but you will not be able to see the alarm-time pm indicator . Timex , a few year ago , do sell a clock that have the interface describe in the top-rated review , with up and down key and 15-minute fast advance . why they go back to a interface find want in the 1960 be beyond I ... +577 AlarmClock NEG 2 unlike some of the other reviewer , my clock seem to keep perfect time . I have have it for several month now and it do not seem to drift . however , if you actually want to be able to see what time it be you really do not want this clock . in order to see the lcd 's , you need to be look down on the clock from almost directly above it ; there be a very narrow view angle . you would think that angle would be more nearly face-on , but that be not the case . the backlight do not help . if you be look for a good travel alarm , I would say `` keep look '' . +937 AlarmClock NEU 3 I have be use this alarm clock for a few week now and feel I be ready to say a few word about it to other would be buyer . first , I be happy with the purchase and I would do it again . the build be not great , I assume they have to hit some price point and to do that they have to cut quite a few corner . example : the black twist -lrb- seection -rrb- dial on top sometimes do not get all the way back to the the default setting , clock mode . so sometimes it end up try to configure the alarm for Sunday and I have to fiddle with the black dial to get the time to display . also , I insert battery into it , and when I unplug the clock nothing get save . originally I think it would be useful if the power ever go out , but no dice , the alarm reset to initialization whenever the power be pull . the alarm be not loud enough , I have oversleep on multiple occasion since I have get it . I be not certain this be the fault of the alarm clock , cause I have a really nasty habit of hit the off button instead of the snooze button . have say all of this , I like the clock . it have much better feature than compete model , for example I like the nap alarm and different alarm for different day . plus I enjoy the aesthetic of the clock in comparison to any of the other junk I have see at local store . in this price range this be the best alarm clock , just do not expect too much . +816 AlarmClock NEG 1 WE WERE LOOKING for a basic battery-operated alanog alarm clock to replace a TIMEX that WE HAD for a number of year . WE THOUGHT WE HAD FOUND one in the elgin 3675e . the ELGIN CLOCK WAS EASY to READ and SET up ; HOWEVER , the clock seem somewhat chealy-made when examine in PERSON DID NOT FUNCTION EVEN AFTER REPLACING the battery two time -lrb- once be with newly-purchased battery -rrb- . WE WERE QUITE disappoint with this ELGIN PRODUCT . +591 AlarmClock POS 5 buy this 1 month ago . I have a adult foster home with elderly lady . they eyesight be not so good now and this clock have be wonderful for they in the night to see the time . they like it so well that I be now go to buy 2 more for the living and family room even though I have clock on the wall . I would recommend this to anyone with decrease vision . +47 AlarmClock NEG 2 for the first few month I own my shower radio I be quite pleased with the purchase . I receive very good radio reception -- as good as my clock radio . however , after about three month it stop work -lrb- I think the battery have run down -rrb- . I purchase new battery , but it no longer function . I do not notice anywhere that water have get into it ... and I keep it in a place above the showerhead so any water that would have be on it be mostly condensation . anyway ... I 'll not likely buy a CD player for my shower again and just stick to have one on the counter . +333 AlarmClock NEG 1 this be extremely LIGHT in WEIGHT , TINNY and CHEAP , and the atomic feature do not work . it certainly be not worth the price -- worth under $ 5.00 . I have no CHOICE BUT to RETURN IT and receive a full credit from AMAZON.COM +850 AlarmClock POS 5 I order this clock for a friend who like the retro look and hope that the light would wake he up . sometimes it do , sometimes it do not . he be thrill with the look of it and so happy to own one . I buy mine many year ago and it stop work . the local store have close , and I have discard the box . so , I put it away and think I might send it back to you company , but I do not . I move twice and recently decide I need a clock on the other side of my bed that I could see in the middle of the night . my bose clock radio number be too small now that I be 66 . turn over have become difficult with my breast cancer spread to the bone . SO , I get out my Moon Beam , plug it in and it start work . I be so thrill and so be my son and he friend who have help I get it out and plug it in . I do truly enjoy it and it serve such a comforting purpose for I now . the light wake I up easily ! keep make these clock . !!! Donna Joy +900 AlarmClock NEG 2 my biggest problem with this clock be the snooze button . it be relatively small , so I have to really wake up to find it . then , it only snooze for four minute ! I want to snooze for nine . I do not care for the back light - two small light from the side rather than the soft blue glow behind the time that I be use to . this clock will work in a pinch , but I be definitely go to have to find a better clock . +894 AlarmClock POS 4 we have have two of these product for the past three year . they perform well , do the job , and for 10 buck , I think they be a good deal . I have read the other review , but we experience with the 40001 alarm have be good -- I have carry this with I on travel , and never miss a appointment . there be detailed instruction at the -lrb- ... -rrb- website -- with good battery and the instruction these clock do the job well . +587 AlarmClock POS 5 this alarm clock be wonderful . my wife hate wake up to my phone vibrate on my night stand , so she think she would like a more natural approach , such as a sunrise . I personally do not think it would be that great , but , it be . it start with red light , slowly fading in to bright white light . what would seem merely for aesthetics , maybe underestimate . Red light be much softer on the eye than white , so a logical gradient between the two would produce a gentle awakening . plus , wake up due to a light source naturally stimulate the brain -lrb- and in turn , the pineal gland -rrb- to reduce the amount of melatonin present in the brain . this all translate into a more natural , gentle awakening . pro : gentle awaken adjustable sunrise length radio build in really bright bulb con : my wife turn the radio to country . overall , this be a great unit at a great price , give the fact that it wake up naturally and without the racing heart . if you be a `` snoozer '' like I and be always set it half a hour ahead of when you really need up , just simply lengthen the sunrise time . +346 AlarmClock POS 5 my entire family use Westclox moonbeam clock , we have they in almost every room of we small home . it be great not to wake up the entire house with a alarm sound when just one of we have to be up early . this gentle light-alarm even wake my teenager and there be other color available . they be not rugged -lrb- make in China -rrb- but we clock have work just fine with no problem . I be back buy two more for gift give . the price be good and they be get harder to find . I think they be adorable and they add a warm glow -lrb- literally -rrb- to the room . +205 AlarmClock POS 5 I buy this clock for my husband who can not read small number without he glass . my husband be finally satisfy with this one . just the perfect clock for he , well make and cheap . love the glow in the dark . thank you for a good product . +400 AlarmClock POS 5 everything about this alarm clock be great . the nap timer be good when you need to time anything . look good on a desk . +684 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock live up to expectation . it have a slightly retro look , which be perfect for we inadvertently out of date kitchen . its color really be somewhat luminous . we love it ! -lrb- yes it be plug-in , which be a plus for we but might be a minus for anyone with irregular electrical current . -rrb- +606 AlarmClock POS 5 I have a $ 400 phone with winmo 6.1 pro that be incapable of deal with alarm . so I buy this $ 9.99 clock that just work . the number be bright , it be small . there be one button to adjust the alarm and the clock itself . there be a big button that show if the alarm be engage . back to basics . I be in love with it already . +819 AlarmClock NEG 2 the clock work just fine . I want another alarm that feature soothing sound . I should have read the review before I purchase this though , the clock light be way to bright even on the dimmest setting . always read the customer review , : -rrb- +999 AlarmClock NEG 1 when I pay $ 99 for a travel alarm clock , I surely expect that it will be of excellent quality . when mine arrive it be dead right out of the box . I call the company and be tell that I would have to accept a merchandise credit rather than a refund . as if I would every buy anything else from they ! save you money -- this company obviously do not care about quality . +665 AlarmClock NEU 3 smaller than I expect but it turn out that I like the size which , of course would be great for travel . and the large , greenish number make it easy enough to see the time across the room . they seem like they might glow in the dark but do not really . which be great for I because I do not want any extra light in my room . however , I be mistakenly under the impression that this clock do not make a tick noise . and , while it be quiet enough , in general , I can still hear it from 5 foot away while in my bed . and that be too loud for I . +759 AlarmClock NEG 1 the clock be bright , large and easy to set . however , several segment of the digital display be not work upon arrival . I order a different clock as a replacement and that , too , be DOA . no more clock from Amazon for I ! +967 AlarmClock NEG 2 recieve this clock and like everything about it except the atomic feature do not work so I be return it . have try to set the atomic clock many time include overnight to no avail . if you do not need the atomic feature it be light weight and stable on the bedside table unlike other atomic clock I have have . +801 AlarmClock POS 5 I couldnt handle the jolt of wake up to sudden noise , it could turn the potential for a good morning bad . this method in waking be so peaceful , I like to set it to a 45 minute sunrise and then doze in a out of consciousness as it reach full brightness . have only have it for a few day so can not comment on its durability . at least it will not break from I throw it against wall in anger to shut the thing up . +582 AlarmClock POS 5 I use this little alarm clock at home and when I travel . on occasion I have even carry it in my purse . it be easy to read -lrb- nice big number -rrb- . it be easy to set and reset during the day if you need to . please be aware , however , for those who can sleep through most any alarm that this alarm do not sound for a long time -lrb- it be battery run after all -rrb- . +224 AlarmClock POS 5 I buy one of these year ago in Rome when my expensive , multi-time zone , many feature digital fail miserably after only week . it work perfectly while the hotel operator that be suppose to give a slightly earlier wake-up call sleep . it work perfectly on trip thereafter and be a vital companion to make sure flight be make in time . simple , run on a single easily find aa cell for a long time and easily see at night with its glowing dial and hand . a perfect example of kiss ! after year of use I break it in Rio with a pre-dawn flight to catch by force in a rechargeable battery that may have be a bit out of shape in darkness . fortunately the operator in the airport hotel be on he toe though I sleep less soundly know my reliable little wake-up companion be ruin . I be very unhappy , not expect to find a exact replacement after the year . there be a big grin when I find Amazon have the exact thing and it sit ready to go among my travel gear . the old one reside in a little corner of a drawer with small `` memory '' of good thing . I get some of the first digital , multi-time zone , calculator watch when they come out in Japan so I know digital . I often like digital . this be the clock I depend upon to wake I for must make flight . the only thing that knock off a star for mechanic and construction be the fact replace a battery in less than ideal condition do break the original . +53 AlarmClock NEG 1 in the past several month , it have steadly lose time . I do not like the fact that you can not reset the time . I have several other automatic -lrb- atomic -rrb- clock and they work fine . I be go to trash this one , I would not even donate it to a thrift store because of its inaccuracy . +568 AlarmClock POS 5 man this alarm be great . never think I would find a alarm that would do the job , cant get any better than this ... +96 AlarmClock POS 4 four star be suppose to be `` like it . '' and I like it . but I do not love it . the display and design be great . I be go to use `` sound quality '' and `` functionality , '' which I give only two star , to describe the two problem : the sound loop be just too short . and the quality of -lrb- some of -rrb- the sound just be not what it should be . what be frustrate be that the actual equipment , the speaker etc. , \* be of high enough quality ; the evidence be the rainforest sound , which be absolutely beautiful , crystal-clear , soothing , lovely , with a invisible loop that give you no impression of repeat -lrb- if anything it sound as if it go on forever -rrb- . it be everything you could want . in we own view , all the other fall short . the Thunderstorm , which we would love , the Chimes , which we would love , the Ocean -lrb- I think it be -rrb- , which we would love -- they be just too short . the chime be beautiful , the sound quality be crystalline , and after listen for 15 minute the short loop , the repetition of exactly the same order of the chime you hear and you know which chime be come next instead of produce a natural chime sound of random and hugely vary tone -lrb- which you could achieve by make it three time longer -rrb- , be irritating , not soothing . same for Thunderstorm . same for ocean ; you know which seagull be go to call next . sigh . and as for the rain , any Hollywood movie have better , more realistic rain sound -lrb- which be also synthesize in almost all case , beautifully so ; you can often hear the individual drop , as you can in real life -rrb- than this , which sound indistinct and fuzzy and , frankly , more like white noise than natural rain fall on tree and pavement . why -- why !? -- do not the idiot -lrb- sorry , but -rrb- who put in the money and engineering to make this a potentially terrific , perfect machine , whose design , feature , and hardware quality be all excellent , sacrifice on the one thing we really need and want and which they could easily provide : the sound themselves . rainforest be almost perfect : subtle , lovely tropical bird call , the rain gentle in the background . we use it all the time . thunderstorm and chime and ocean should and could be as good . if you create a watch that look great , whose mechanic you make perfect , for a good price , and then sacrifice on one thing -- it can not really keep accurate time -- you be a fool . would I buy it again ? it be difficult to find a good machine that be not over or well over a hundred dollar . so maybe , yeah , I probably would , just for rainforest . but it be so disappointing . the ec-b100 have huge potential . that potential be poorly use . ridiculous . +749 AlarmClock POS 4 have be unable to rely on my cell phone to wake I up as of recently , I decide to try out a new alarm clock to help I get up in the morning . well , what can I say , this clock do just that , all while have a easy , user friendly interface . the alarm be loud and definitely awakening , probably be able to get up the deepest of sleeper up . furthermore , since the clock be self-setting , adjust be practically unnecessary . the fact that it as able to function perfectly , while be easy to use , make this a definitely good buy . still , some people do complain about the brightness of the screen , which be easily remedy by adjust its brightness . a day and night mode would of be nice , but still , its easy to navigate past this . this be a great , simple alarm clock that get the job do well ; a product that work just as it say . it do lack the bell & whistle that many clock due have , but it make up for this in pure functionality . a great buy for anybody need a new alarm clock to get up with . +691 AlarmClock NEG 1 I own one fo these clock , and I be shop for a new one . this clock just be not bright enough to illuminate my room properly . I dont ` wake up . : - -lrb- +245 AlarmClock NEG 2 I buy this alarm clock for my young daughter in oct 2010 . she sleep with white noise and I think that buy a clock with the noise feature build in would be both space-saving and money-saving . it look nice and be easy to use . however , as other reviewer have say , the volume setting be not ideal ... set at 1 its very quiet , at 2 its annoyingly loud . it be nice to have the dual alarm - we set the second alarm for 8pm , put she to bed at 7:15 and when the bird chirp she know to put she book down , its light out . but any dual alarm will serve that purpose , with or without fancy noise . and here the worst part : March 2012 , one random morning the alarm never go off for school , and in addition to she too-loud white noise the clock be make a horrible buzz sound which can not be shut off . we unplug it and remove the battery , but when we reinstall the battery , the screen be mess up and it play sound 1 constanly -lrb- very loudly ! -rrb- , none of the setting button work and it can not be shut off . so after pay a decent price for a brand name , it last less than 18 mo and I be back to shopping for a alarm clock and a noise-maker . this certainly do NOT meet my expectation ! +189 AlarmClock NEG 2 I have high hope for this - think it be similar to a clock I see a few year ago and can not seem to find now . those of you who be light sleeper will appreciate the sound library . the digital recording have long loop and sound pretty good , but the speaker be on the tinny side . I like to sleep with a surf sound and that be decent . the problem be the alarm -lrb- which be not even cover in my manual -rrb- . the alarm allow you to wake with either a beeper or a sound . the problem be if you sleep with a sound playing , that be the same one use for the alarm - so it do not quite work ! I be hope you could set different sound for the alarm . the clock I see a few year ago allow you to listen to surf but the alarm add in foghorn or other related sound . that be pretty cool ! if anyone know what clock I be talk about , please let I know . do not be too disappointed if the sound soother be not available on Amazon . it be available at best buy for the same price . +619 AlarmClock POS 5 simple travel alarm clock be get difficult to find . the Elgin Travel Alarm clock be great ! it be very similar to a Timex travel alarm clock I have have for year , but be finally fail after many year of use in all environment . if you want a travel alarm clock that be simple to set and use , and have a light\/snooze feature that be very useful , the Elgin Travel Alarm clock be the one for you ! additional information -lrb- or ... do not make the same mistake I make before find the Elgin clock -rrb- I buy a different brand from a local store -lrb- btw , travel alarm clock be almost non-existent in store , now -rrb- , for a business trip to Sweden , and also for camping in the summer . it be lcd , with a stylus for setting . the main attraction be that it advertise time zone functionality . it be so incredibly difficult to change setting , and the character and icon be so small you could barely see they . it also turn out it only cover North America timezone . that clock be now in a garbage dump somewhere in Sweden ! +714 AlarmClock POS 5 the Westclox 1950 Moon Beam Big Ben provide the gentle awakening by flash its light yet the bell which follow be classic . it lack the harsh electronic buzz of past bedside invader in we household . another lovely aspect of this clock lie in the back-up battery which allow it to not lose a moment . I be sure that be not part of the original 1950 's design but be welcome now . we clock be a vanilla color which go with just about any decor . try this gentle journey . you child and grandchild will also enjoy this lovely alternative to be blow out of bed by raucous buzz or music . +381 AlarmClock POS 4 Easy to read . Easy to set . not for the heavy sleeper . the alarm do a gradual buildup in volume . even at it be loudest it be not very loud . it be plenty for I . my son be a heavy sleeper and the alarm on this clock would be worthless . +730 AlarmClock POS 4 this clock do not use 1 c size battery . I require three aa cell -lrb- operate on 4.5 volt -rrb- . also , clock face do not face forward . it be pitch upward by about 20 degree . this be fine if you be look down at the clock . if however you place it at eye level or on a shelf above you head , it be go to look stupid . the back-lit dial face be useful if turn up all the way . rear of clock have time and alarm setting knob , battery compartment , alarm sound port , and brightness control . the top have a combination snooze alarm switch and momentary bright light switch . the right side of clock have alarm on\/off switch . there be no rubber foot on the bottom of clock so it slide easily . also , the plastic housing be static prone and attract a lot of dust . there be no model number stamp or emboss anywhere ; battery door say `` make in China '' . all in all , not a bad clock for ten buck provide it keep work . +405 AlarmClock POS 5 the soundscape on this alarm clock be amazing . there be something for everyone and whichever sound you choose help you get the most restful sleep . I definitely recommend this alarm clock to anyone . +74 AlarmClock POS 4 item work exactly as describe . it actually get the signal from Colorado very quickly once I realize I need to turn on the wave . Buttons be easily hit accidentally which can cause the clock to change to 24 hr time or turn off the signal receiver . +328 AlarmClock NEU 3 I have have this alarm clock for year . pro : reliable ; do not glow in the dark ; alarm be a simple beep sound that be not overly loud ; clock stay standing on night stand and be unobtrusive ; clock fold up and travel well . con : require a funky battery , though I have need to replace it infrequently ; the clock really do not illuminate well enough to read in the dark when you want to check the time . for this reason I give the clock 3 star . +727 AlarmClock NEU 3 the sound be distort . doesnt sound `` digitally record '' to I . it look nice though . it also allow the brightness to be adjust . +868 AlarmClock NEU 3 love the light come on first before the alarm . no durability . arm fall off easily and repeatedly . Broke the light . suffer with it for three year ; I be buy a different one now . +755 AlarmClock POS 5 a good sturdy reliable travel clock for little money . Easy operation and compact . alarm be loud enough to wake you . I use it every day besides travel . +15 AlarmClock POS 5 the clock arrive quickly-normal shipping . Works fine ... what else can i say . +312 AlarmClock POS 4 nice compact little clock good for travel . alarm be reliable and backup light good for room with little light -lrb- like inside cabin on a cruise ship -rrb- . +761 AlarmClock NEU 3 the Sharper image sound Soother have a very sleek and modern design , however , there be a few flaw that detract from the overall experience . first , the digital display be very bright in a dark bedroom . unlike a regular , cheap alarm clock where only the time be light , the entire display of the sound soother be backlit . if you bedroom have little ambient light at night , this display will emit a glow that some people may find too bright . although there be three display brightness setting , there be little difference between they and the lowest setting be still bright . we have to turn the clock away from the bed at night so it be not directly in we face , but the glow be still significant . second , the sound quality could be better . this could be a tradeoff for the sleek design , but the sound be not very natural come out of the small rear speaker and be a bit tinny as another reviewer have note . the volume control be not very good either , as the difference between the first , second , third , etc. volume selection be very noticeable . in other word , 1 be too soft for some sound , but 2 be way too loud . the audio loop on some of the sound be too short as well , and if you be concentrate on the sound you may be able to detect the pattern , which can be distract as you be try to fall asleep . also , the control button themselves make a very loud and abrasive `` click '' sound when you push they , which seem odd for a machine design to relax you . overall , the Sound Soother be a decent alarm clock that get the job do , but it could definitely be improve -lrb- display too bright , audio quality be lack , and button take away from the overall experience -rrb- . although it be make by Sharper image , it have a somewhat `` cheap '' feeling to it . despite the flaw , it be one of the better sound machine\/alarm clock I come across that be less than $ 50 . +66 AlarmClock POS 5 I buy this alarm clock a few month ago after the old one -lrb- the exact same model -rrb- die after 10 plus year of use . it be also extremely durable . a excellent product that I highly recommend . +576 AlarmClock POS 5 I have a really hard time wake up to a conventional alarm clock , regardless of if I get my 8 hour of sleep . I have be late to work and class due to sleep through the alarm or turn it off in my sleep . with the sonic boom alarm clock , I do not even need the sound to wake up . the vibration wake I up right away and the snooze button on the sweetheart version be a little tough to find in the half-asleep stage so I have to be awake to snooze it or turn it off . it be a bit lightweight but for I it serve its purpose . the vibration apparatus just plug into the alarm clock -lrb- leave the option of use it or not -rrb- , and it have a pretty decent size cord -lrb- well , maybe 3-4 ft -rrb- . the beeping option be possible to be a range of different pitch and volume to fit you need , include very loud and high pitch . I highly recommend this product for people who have a hard time wake up to conventional alarm clock . +822 AlarmClock POS 5 now he be excite because he have he own alarm clock to wake up to . its perfect for the kid who like lego and star war -lrb- what kid do not -rrb- . +970 AlarmClock POS 5 this be a replacement for my previous atomic clock which die after about 4 year . I expect another 4 year of reliable service from this one . so far , it look really good . +171 AlarmClock POS 5 this be a great solution in wake my son up early on school day for the sitter . it work great and he understand exactly what Woody 's job be . so more cranky kid fight to wake up . +706 AlarmClock NEG 1 I order this for a trip and it arrive the day I be leave , which bum I out because the blue night light do not work . on the trip it be drop once and after that the light work ... once . I be go so long that I be not able to return it . at least it be inexpensive . my recommendation be go to elsewhere if you want a user friendly , work travel alarm clock . +374 AlarmClock POS 5 my old 1.8 inch lcd alarm would not work any more . I research a lot of clock , and find this 2.5 lcd . Amazon ship it in 3 day for free . my first night , I wake up 5-6 time just to see the time ! I could barely read the 1.8 inch , no problem with the 2.5 . it be bright , but for I , that a good thing . if I be not here , my wife can flip it down . Perfect ! +551 AlarmClock NEG 2 this little alarm clock be ok but there be 2 main flaw with it . First and foremost I sleep deeply and snooze a lot before finally wake . this clock only allow 4 snooze , 4 minute apart , before the alarm just stop go off . also , when you have a travel alarm clock with a fold over cover like this please put a gap and a slight hole so the snooze button can be hit immediately without open the cover . my girlfriend have a alarm clock almost identical to this from Timex that have long since be discontinue and it handle all these feature perfectly . you would think something so simple would be easy to find . hopefully they improve this one someday . in all other way the clock be great . +84 AlarmClock POS 4 we have a Sony dream machine with the atomic clock function . it have no battery backup and occasionally somehow `` lose '' the signal for the clock and end up with the incorrect time . this atomic clock radio do catch the signal and do have the battery backup function . it be not a $ 50 or $ 100 radio , but do the job well . the only drawback have be the small switch which turn the alarm on and off . for the price , I would buy it again . +871 AlarmClock NEG 2 the auto-time set be a defect in disguise . we buy a older version of this clock in 2002 or so . it be hardwire to change the time -lrb- for Daylight Saving Time , DST -rrb- on the first Sunday in April and the last Sunday in October . spiffy ! the radio time feed from wwv provide Universal Coordinated Time -lrb- GMT -rrb- , with no signal indicate the time change , so the clock be design hardwire with a offset from that , change at fix date . then come the Energy Policy Act of 2005 , which `` change the change day '' to the second Sunday in March , and the first Sunday in November , start in 2007 . we older clock do not read the newspaper , so base on its old programming , it `` spring forward '' two week late and `` fall back '' a week early . that mean we have to change the time zone four time per year to keep it accurate -lrb- in we case from Pacific to Mountain time and back as need -rrb- . if you be absolutely sure congress will never ever ever change the DST date in the future , buy the clock , it be well make and accurate . if the manufacturer add a manual DST switch , or figure out some clever way to tell the clock when congress change the date , it be also good . BUT if congress meddle with the time change date again , and the 2012 change date be still hardwire in , you will probably angrily discard this `` automatic '' clock after a year or two of setting and reset it , and miss a appointment or two . then you will buy one of the manual set one , which might be off a few minute , but not a hour . it be a pity that we lord and master in Washington do not think about detail like this when they ignore the sun and tinker with the time . more afternoon golf time for they , while you kid wait for the morning school bus in the cold and dark . +600 AlarmClock NEU 3 small and very portable . but the alarm be loud ... the price be very appropriate +764 AlarmClock POS 5 my daughter be so picky , we could not find she a alarm clock in sooo many different store , but when I show it to she online she like it and when we riceve it she love it . the vibration under she pillow allow she yunger sister who sleep with she stay sleep when my older should be awake for school it very nice gift and so convenieance ! +803 AlarmClock NEU 3 this clock as a nice design . large display . . and 2 good proof alarm setting if you need 2 different wake up time during the week . sound quality for the soothing stuff be not a little disappointing +844 AlarmClock POS 5 I want a atomic clock that would set it self . the picture be similar to one for 44.95 that state it set it self . I choose this clock since it be a better value . as it turn out it be the same clock . I plug it in and it read the correct time . I unplug it and set it up in we bed room and again it display the correct time . it also adjust for day light savings . +282 AlarmClock POS 5 no nature sound , no satellite setting , no ipod or cd connection , just a straight forward alarm clock that be refreshing in its simplicity . pull it out of the package -lrb- it already have the battery -rrb- , set the time , the time you want to get up , switch on the alarm and be do with it . some thing do not need to be complicate -lrb- such as a alarm clock -rrb- . I have it on my night stand and when I travel , I throw it in the suitcase , sandwich between a stack of clothes . its sturdy enough -lrb- plastic -rrb- to get the job do . +991 AlarmClock POS 5 some have complain that the display be too bright ; since I sleep with my eye close , that be not a problem ! some have complain that the alarm be too loud ; I believe the purpose be to wake one ! I love the two alarm and the display show whether they be set and to what time . the size of the display be readable for I without my contact . I recommend this product highly . +348 AlarmClock POS 5 this be really a great little alarm clock . I have have mine for 11 year now ! -lrb- bought it while travel in New Zealand . have another I buy in Singapore but the control be not as easy to manage so do not use that as much . -rrb- in the 11 year I have change the battery I think only once -lrb- maybe twice at most -rrb- - it use a watch battery . I like the fact that display 24 hour time be a option . when you close the stand\/cover , the snooze\/light button be the only thing accessible - perfect for reach out and silencing quickly . it be small and easy to carry in a pocket . it be loud enough to wake I when I be tired and not so loud that it be annoying . in the time I have have it I have sleep through it only a few time -lrb- when I have 3 hour sleep or something -rrb- - and I be a very sound sleeper , with short night a hazard of my employment many time . the only problem I have have with this , be that now after 11 year the setting slider be wear out . they use to `` click '' into place -lrb- i.e. alarm on\/off -rrb- , but now they slip out of position and unless I carefully position the alarm button it can be go off on the weekend for I . thus , time to get a new one . +653 AlarmClock NEG 2 the radio work well , especially because the tuner be digital . switching from store memory station be a bit complex . overall , the radio be complicate to use , and the instruction be not very clear . the most troubling part of this device be that the radio alarm only go off for about 5 minute -lrb- I have not figure out anyway to lengthen the alarm time -rrb- , and unless I have it on loud , I sleep through the alarm . my advise be that if you can afford to , buy a better Alarm clock . +897 AlarmClock POS 5 my son , who be 5 , have just love this . he can play with it , yet it be functional as well . sturdy and tough as it have be drop a couple of time , with no result issue . the alarm be not too overwhelming . it be a mild tone , which have effecticely wake he up for the last couple of week . +855 AlarmClock POS 4 I think its a good travel clock and certainly easy to set , etc. . however , it be impossible to read the time in the dark and that would be the only improvement need to give it 5 star . so far , I have take it on two trip and it perform just fine . +268 AlarmClock POS 5 have have recent bad experience with travel alarm I go out search for a new one . this one be easy to operate . Buttons easily allow change of setting . it be very lightweight . the cover be make of plastic which make it seem flimsy but it work out ok - that add to the lightness . it be sturdy enough for my daily use . although a travel alarm I use it daily . it be very inexpensive and yet better than many more expensive model that I be retire . +518 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock be amazing . I do a lot of research on these clock and have a biobrite before this , and be convince this be the best choice . the light in the morning help I to wake more naturally . I find the light to be plenty bright . the radio work fine , and be much less jarring than a beep . it have a security feature that be convenient . it be small and lightweight , which I prefer as it be more the size of most alarm clock . the BioBrite , which I have before , be huge , take up the entire nightstand and be finicky , fragile and complicated . I like the size and feature on the Soleil better and think it be much easier to use . one change I would make be a less bright time display . I would also like for it to cost less , but compare to other dawn simulator , it be a good deal . all consider , I be extremely pleased . +989 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock be very good . its not too large , about the size of a grapefruit . some reviewer mention that they light face would not turn off . Mine work fine . you set the brightness of the light face with a wheel adjustment . Mine be completely off in the lowest setting . at the highest , it actually make a decent night light . it run off 3 `` aa '' battery , I be not sure of the life of these with the light face . I like to keep the face on mine dim , but still readable in the dark . the alarm work fine also . if you need a simple alarm clock , this one be great . +517 AlarmClock POS 4 we buy this for we 9 year old daughter as she first alarm clock . she love the vibrate feature -lrb- so far anyway - have not actually use it to wake up over the Holiday yet - just keep set it to feel the vibration ! -rrb- . the rainbow number be really cool too ! I really would have give 5 star , but I do not like the sound of the alarm ... you can adjust tone and volume on it , but to I sound a bit like a smoke alarm or something -- just not thrill with the sound . in addition , the color on the picture do not represent the actual product in my opinion . I think it be go to be hot pink and it be not -- not sure how to describe this particular pink . otherwise , we be very happy with the product !! +300 AlarmClock NEU 3 my clock run 1.25 seconds per day fast accord to my measurement . not bad , but I like to know what time it \* really \* be ... so after a month , I be -rrb- 30 seconds ahead of time - over a minute fast in two month . it might not bother you , but I run a lot of conference call in my work , and need to start\/stop right on the top -lrb- or half -rrb- of the hour . I would be satisfy with + \/ - 1 second per month ... but more than that every day ? Time for I to find another , more accurate clock . +747 AlarmClock POS 5 I buy this for my 6 year old star war lego fanatic for Christmas . I be worry about its size since I could not find any dimension when I be order . but , it be a good size and make very well . he be go to love it ! +476 AlarmClock NEG 1 I buy it for the `` big rig '' as a travel clock while i be on the road . work 1 day then stop work . it seem to be well make -lrb- as much as electronics be these day -rrb- but since it stop work I can not vouch for it be usefulness . avoid it imo . +288 AlarmClock NEG 1 it would be one thing if the button be big enough for even petite finger or if the light be really very bright to notice or even if the clock keep proper time - but it do not ! I receive this item as a gift and be shock the sticker price . I have have the clock a few year now and have be itch to get rid of it . I have to continually reset the time - every 6 week I find it be get ten minute faster so I either set my alarm ahead or range back through the number to set the time correctly or to correct it the next month again . the radio be cheap and difficult to tune . I need a sunrise clock but at this point I be think of get a `` vacation '' timer for my bedside lamp and just set that instead . what a bother . +781 AlarmClock POS 5 the pink moonbeam clock be give to my best friend for she birthday . it be the perfect gift as she want a simple alarm clock that be easy to operate and see . she love the pink color ! +197 AlarmClock POS 5 very nice clock . it be attractive , the display contain the information I want , the numeral be large , it be light & small enough for travel . be solar power be a big plus as no more battery to buy . that the temperature read a couple of degree too warm be minor . set up be straight forward . a lighter background would allow view at a greater distance . I do not use the alarm so can not comment on that and the atomic part be not relevant for I . solid 5 star . +731 AlarmClock NEG 1 this thing only work twice for I . today it sit on my computer desk display the time only . if you need to make someone late for work , here ya go : -lrb- +955 AlarmClock POS 5 I already have this clock but I order it for my niece , my mom also have the same clock along with my neighbor ! no matter where you look , this be the better deal , you can not find it any cheaper , even with shipping cost . have a light go off instead of a noise go off in you ear from be in a dead sleep be a lot more peaceful for sure . it fit into the style of my 1950 's home for sure ...

I do not know what they be think when they design this one . it be the most difficult radio I have ever have the displeasure of try to figure out . they should have stick with the try and true system they use on they car radio . +70 AlarmClock POS 4 this alarm clock not only wake my daughter , it wake everyone in the house ! too bad she be able to still go back to sleep ! ugh ! we will keep try ! +203 AlarmClock NEG 2 the clock be a gift from Santa for my 7 year old daughter . it be a adorable clock , really look nice . however , the on\/off switch for the alarm feature do NOT budge . it just sort of bend in the right direction , but do not click over . I unscrew the back to see if I could figure out why -lrb- because I really want to keep the clock -rrb- , but it appear the lever base be make of a flimsy piece of metal so it lack the `` snap '' need to actually function as a switch . have to return ... daughter will be disappoint , but hope to find another pink clock to replace . +666 AlarmClock POS 4 pro : small and convenient , easy to store away when not use , just flip the cover up to close it . Cover double as its stand . backlight be very bright when press . alarm be loud and annoying , will definitely wake you up . screen also flash red when alarm go off . only require one aaa battery . con : snooze button on the front of the alarm make it hard to hit . this could be good as it wake you up as you struggle to find the snooze button . no constant backlight mode . it would be nice to have a dim backlight on all the time , either at the cost of use more battery power or add a extra slot to make it two AAA battery instead of one . 4 MINUTE SNOOZES ! really ! it be true . that do get annoying , but if you be a constant snooze hitter like I then you might need this . sometimes a pain in the butt to adjust the alarm time and then turn it on with the slide switch on the front . overall , it be be a very reliable alarm . could use some tweak , but for the cheap price you will not regret purchase it . 3.5 star in my book . +390 AlarmClock POS 4 clock work but I have to remove and reinsert battery to get the indiglo -lrb- which be very bright -rrb- and alarm to work - weird . alarm could be a little louder at peak level -lrb- alarm last 1 minute -rrb- . for the money , tough to beat . recommend unless you be a heavy sleeper . +417 AlarmClock NEG 1 clock automatically set to correct time . neat . also very bright led . but it be difficult to turn off alarm in the morning . the large snooze button work , so if you be a person that hit the snooze button 4 time at seven minute interval to turn off a alarm , you will like this product . the small on-off switch be on the back of the clock , in the middle of the other button to set the time . this on-off switch be also hard to move . Acurite customer service confirm my observation and complaint . it be hard to believe that any one who design or engineer this product ever use it . I can not recommend this product as a alarm clock . it would be fine as a large letter , see in the dark , non-alarm clock . +623 AlarmClock POS 4 Easy to read display . Easy to program in dark , after learn button . only reason for give 4 star instead of 5 , would like to wake up with different sound than use to go to sleep . also the volume adjustment could be less dramatic between setting . overall , pleased with product , very functional . +433 AlarmClock NEU 3 this be a decent alarm clock . it be fully hollow inside so it be extremely light . lead light do help to not drain out battery . light be extremely bright and somewhat distracting . Shipping & handle be poor because something be rattle around when I receive product . glowing led color mood change Digital Alarm clock +213 AlarmClock NEG 1 we purchase this alarm clock for we son 's birthday present . it work well when we first get it and work for the first few hour of he have it . the sound then stop and eventually start work again but now on day 2 it have stop make sound again . I will be try to contact the company tomorrow to see if they have any helpful idea on what to do . hopefully I do not have to spend a ton of money shipping and replace a product that only work one day . if the sound issue would not have happen I would have give this product a much higher rating , but cool or not , it be a alarm clock with no sound . +6 AlarmClock POS 5 this travel clock be exactly what I want . it be very easy to operate , it have no bright light at night , it be easy to read , it be stable and compact . and a good price . I prefer to have the temperature include on the lcd , but even without that , it be still worth 5 star . +735 AlarmClock NEG 1 when this item actually work , it be a DREAM !!! -lrb- no pun intend ... -rrb- but , the mere fact that it be so unreliable as to when it will work void the purpose of have a alarm clock of any sort in the first place . I too have experience -lrb- what I think be -rrb- the bulb burn out on my alarm clock , but realize after toy with it some more that the bulb be actually not burn out , that the machine itself be actually fail . I would take the bulb out , put it back in , jiggle it a bit , and then test it by run the ` lamp ' cycle , and it would illuminate . then it would continue to wake I up for a couple of day in a row , and then stop work again . this type of inconsistency be just not acceptable in a alarm clock product . the thing that be even more annoying about it be that this product be NOT CHEAP . at $ 75.00 , one would expect something that last more than a couple of week . again - great idea ... just really really bad execution . +641 AlarmClock NEG 1 I buy two of these Chaney Instruments digital alarm clock to replace we old one . the new one be pretty , have large easily visible number and change for daylight saving time easily . unfortunately the clock have a serious design flaw . the little vent for the alarm speaker be on the bottom of the clock . with the clock set flat on a night stand the sound of the alarm be so weak it can hardly be hear . really , it be so anemic I have to hold the clock up to my ear to hear it . in fact , I set my clock to go off this morning as a test . the alarm do not wake I up . one might think the moron who design these clock could have guess that put the alarm vent in a spot where it be cover up be not a good idea . I see some complaint about this problem with a weak alarm sound in the review , but think they might be exaggerate . they be not . this thing be a dud as a alarm clock . you would be better off buy a rooster . at least you could hear the crow in the morning . +117 AlarmClock POS 5 this alarm cock be the perfect size and be great for smeone that have to get up a different time every morning . also it be great because it be so easy to figure out how to set it . I would reccommend it to everyone . I plan on buy more of they when I have to replace my other alarm clock . +372 AlarmClock POS 4 I buy this clock because when the morning sun come in my window , it make it impossible to read the time on my led clock so I need a clock with ordinary numeral to see the time in the morning . this clock look great on my bedside table and do the job I need it to do . I only wish it be a little bigger and heavier and I could see where someone try to read the time in the dark may have a problem fumble to press the button on top of the clock to turn on the face light . five star for my purpose , three star for most other user need make it a four star clock . +770 AlarmClock NEG 1 it be ok while it last - about four month . it be amazing to I how difficult it be to find a simple , reliable travel alarm that might last , oh , a year or two ? : sheesh : +271 AlarmClock POS 4 I like precise clock and watch , so when atomic time device become mainstream , I become addict to they . they be all over we house . I travel 45 week per year on business , so when I see this atomic travel alarm I buy it for 2 reason : 1 . -rrb- it set itself to the current atomic time from the official atomic clock in Colorado , and 2 . -rrb- it have a adjustable snooze alarm -lrb- which be rare in a portable travel alarm clock -rrb- . it work great , be accurate to the second , and set itself on the road , no matter what time zone I be in . I be so impressed , I end up buy another one . my only complaint , if you can call they complaint , be that the snooze function be a little weird and make sure you have turn off the alarm completely can be tricky in the dark . in order to `` hit '' the snooze , you have to push\/bend the top of the clock backwards against the resistance of the spring in the hinge of the stand . if the clock be on a slippery surface , you only end up slide the clock across the surface instead of activate the snooze . in order to turn the alarm off , it say to push any button on the clock . however , that only turn it off for 24 hour , when the alarm will go off again -lrb- sometimes on a Saturday when it be a unwelcome surprise -rrb- . in order to make sure you have completely turn the alarm off , you have to find and push\/hold the actual alarm button itself a little longer , and in order to do that , I find that I have to turn on a light , find the right button , and make sure it have not reset itself for 24 hour from now . I think the snooze should be easier and turn off the alarm should definitely be easier , but once I get use to fumble around in the dark with it , I be still happily use it every week for travel . +212 AlarmClock POS 5 I love this clock with it be so easily read numeral . it can be see so clearly in the dark , and from quite a distance . I buy it to replace another like it -lrb- different brand -rrb- which quit work after many year . I know when that one stop I have to have another as quickly as it could be deliver . if you have trouble see , and even if you do not , this be the clock for you if you want to see the time from a distance . thank you Amazon for get it here so quickly even with the free shipping . +567 AlarmClock NEG 2 this alarm clock be easy to use and set up . it have a large time read out . the biggest draw back be the soft alarm . it need need to be much louder . +679 AlarmClock POS 5 I like that this be a battery alarm clock so that I do not have to use another electrical receptacle . it be sufficiently loud to wake my 8 year-old or I . it be really cool that it be backlit when you press the figure 's head . BUT -- what my son be thrill about be figure out that he Uncle Milton brand mini-lightsaber -lrb- kit -rrb- actually fit into this minifig 's hand ! so , now Darth be complete with saber !! awesome ! +856 AlarmClock NEG 1 try new battery , multiple time , but the thing never work ! I get busy and forget to return the clock within the time window and now I can only get half of my payment , plus I 'll have to pay for the shipping cost . boo ! I 'll never purchase one of these gadget , from this seller ever again ! , +797 AlarmClock POS 4 the good : sound be fantastic - provide a assortment of sound from foghorn , to train , to city street , to the rainforest and everything in between . I personally listen to rain every night . the sound obviously repeat but you can not tell unless you memorize the minor effect -lrb- for instance with the fire crackle - if you remember one part have two crackle than a pop - you will hear it again and realize it be repeat -rrb- . the bad : if there be a power outage and the power come back on - it will not work . I have to unplug it again to get it to work . on two separate occasion , we have a power outage and the clock have come back on . I have go to use it and silence . I can press the sound and the volume but nothing happen ; however , if I unplug it and plug it back in - it work . the ugly : the screen be bright ! there be a dimmer to turn up and down the light but even the lowest setting be very bright ! I have to turn it away from I to sleep . also , do not have anything with a radio frequency near it or it will pick it up . I have to watch my cell phone and baby monitor and keep they as a safe distance . very easy to use , very easy to set the clock , and provide soothing sound that blend perfectly with the background . +738 AlarmClock POS 5 I buy this for my sister , who could seemingly sleep through anything . it be very cute , which she love about it . I would not say that it be louder than a traditional alarm clock , but by change the pitch higher it can be much more annoying . she put the bed shaker under she pillow and say that be enough to wake she up . this get 5 star for be the only thing that wake she up in the morning -lrb- ok , 4 star for that and 1 for cuteness -rrb- . +884 AlarmClock NEG 1 mine break day two . on day one , it do not keep time for a while but later on in the day , after reset time , it keep time okay . on day two , it only backlit a slight amount and i could not see the display -lrb- time number -rrb- . use brand new out of the pack battery . +710 AlarmClock NEG 2 you get what you pay for . the clock cost less than $ 10 and be make in China , so ... it be light-weight and flimsy , but from the other side of the room , it look cute . regard its accuracy in keep time - so far so good , but we have only have it in use a week . the alarm be not at all alarming - if you be hard of hearing or need a loud noise to rouse you - this be not you wake up call . +473 AlarmClock NEG 2 Controls be difficult to manage , particularly set the time for each alarm . -lrb- my building lose electricity pretty frequently which mean reset the clock and it be a pain with the way the button be set up . -rrb- the cd do not work -lrb- not long after I buy the radio -rrb- . the sound be terrible . you be get what you pay for : not much . +314 AlarmClock NEG 1 this be a terrible product . the clock run fast -- it gain a minute every few day . the CD player skip at the slightest vibration , from when I walk across my room to when someone open the door to my building 4 floor below . frequently , I wake up to a noise like a fan with something stick in the blade rather than my cd . anyone who be look for a reliable clock or cd player would do better to spend a few extra dollar to buy something that actually work . +699 AlarmClock NEG 1 the concept be great , the build in lamp be terrible - about as bright as a night light , do not know how that be suppose to wake I up . also , if it go out it be not cheap to replace . to get any use out of the Sunrise\/Set feature you have to have it control a external lamp with a external power adapter almost the size of the clock itself . the clock itself feel like a toy , light plastic and cheap construction with flimsy button that work for a few month and require small finger -lrb- I have those and still have to use my nail -rrb- . I would recommend that you spend the money on a clock of this type with a build in external lamp control , most of those even come with sleep sound . can not beat that . but really , really , do not buy this alarm clock . perhaps Sunrise Sun Simulator Day Light SRS150 Alarm clock or even Apollo Health DayBreak Duo Dawn\/Dusk Simulator +898 AlarmClock POS 5 this a totally cool product . sound Quality on the phone be crystal clear , and the phone be super lightwheight . the led light on the alarm clock be soft and easy on the eye . great buy !!!!!!!! +211 AlarmClock NEG 2 I be excite when I find this sound machine and could not wait to get it , but there be significant problem . the display be very bright , but hard to read unless you be face the clock directly . I prefer the rain selection , but level 1 be too quiet and level 2 be really loud . I have try put it further away , but then I can not see or reach the clock . several time , the sound switch to bird during the night and I wake up wonder what be happen . the positive be that it be easy to use and compact in size . +435 AlarmClock POS 5 I purchase this clock because of it be versatility - small enough to put on any table or pack it in a suitcase . the number be easy to see and the alarm sound be just right . best of all when there be a power outage I always know what the correct time be ! +943 AlarmClock POS 5 this be exactly the alarm clock I be look for . I have a bad alarm clock before this one so I be very glad I get this . pro : nice overall size . well organize display of date\/time\/etc . lcd -lrb- indiglo -rrb- light only when you press a button so no bright led glare from the alarm clock and the Indiglo light be not a overly bright or glaring light . good alarm volume . -lrb- I be a light sleeper and do not like\/need a real loud alarm -rrb- . Easy access to snooze\/light control . atomic clock sync automatically set date\/time . battery operate so no worry about power outage reset you clock\/alarm setting . con : if you be a sound sleeper -lrb- not a problem for I -rrb- the alarm sound might not be loud enough for you . Time zone do not set correctly on start up . with that say , the instruction for manually set the clock be easy to follow and I have the time zone set correctly in a matter of seconds . +604 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock be purchase for my six year old son 's birthday . it be a huge hit ! seem very sturdy and he love the red light that light the clock in the dark when you press on darth vader 's head . : -rrb- +858 AlarmClock POS 5 this scanner be one that all those who be interested in scanner should seriously think about get . first , it allow for so much more than only police and fire scanning . you can read the manual -lrb- available for download at the time of this writing -rrb- aand see all the feature . I be write this review to talk about the ease of use , from the stand-point of someone who have limit mobility and have a disability . the button on this unit be easy to press . the dial be also easy to turn . it also be very easy to set up . it be set up for I in about 1 minute . +185 AlarmClock POS 5 purchase this for my father who have a hard time see a clock from bed . he love this clock . it be large - very large , and easy to read . if you be look for that than this be the clock for you . good value for the money and so far work great . he do not use the alarm or other function , just the clock . +815 AlarmClock POS 4 I have yet to find another alarm clock with the ability for separate alarm for all seven day . it blow my mind that only one exist because it seem like such a no-brainer feature to offer . not everyone work 9-5 each day and have a constant schedule . College student , the self employ -lrb- like myself -rrb- and many other would find this alarm to be the perfect choice . the clock have a programmable nap function that be independent from the seven alarm . want to sleep for 20 minute ? set the nap function for 20 and the alarm will go off at the end of the countdown . the clock will remember you 20 minute preference for the next time you want to take a nap . another great feature that I have never see on any other alarm clock be the programmable snooze button . not only can you determine the length of the snooze , but when you alarm go off the number of time you press the button will multiply the length of time before the alarm go off again . say you have snooze set for 10 minute . alarm go off , you do not want to get up and you know you can squeeze in 20 more minute , so you hit the button twice . instead of 10 minute the alarm will go off in 20 . despite these feature , the clock be extremely easy to configure . this be a surprise give that one would expect a 7 day alarm to be even more complicated than other clock . it be the exact opposite . I find it to be the most intuitive alarm clock I have ever use . whereas other alarm have slide bar and button , this clock be primarily control by two dial on the center top . it be amazing that no other company think of this . on the bad side , there be no way to control the lcd brightness and the analog control of the radio be too date for a clock of this price . the sound be average at best . on the positive side , the overall design take up little space and have a nice retro look . contrary to what other have argue , I do not find the lcd that bright at all at night . only a extremely sensitive sleeper be go to have a problem . I find this model to be one of the least bright I have ever see or use . as someone who be self employ , I can not recommend this alarm enough to anyone with a erratic schedule . +195 AlarmClock NEG 1 I really want to like this clock - totally silent , great feature set include the very dim auto lighting and brighter manual light , good volume control , etc. . unfortunately , the clock just stop for minute or hour at a time 1 month -lrb- literally the day I could not return it anymore -rrb- after I buy it . $ 10 waste since I can not count on it be accurate . example - it be run now , and I set it yesterday , but it currently say 9:43 at 9:50 , the other day , it stop for 2 hour and restart , so it be not like there be even a clear pattern . -lrb- yes , it have new battery . -rrb- why oh why do not anyone make a silent , well-lit , adjustable alarm that be quality ? seriously , I would pay $ 50 + for a good one . +914 AlarmClock NEG 2 the snooze and light feature do not work on Darth Vader , no matter how much I push he head . I 'll have to return it for a warranty check . have anyone else have this problem ? Edit : Amazon have be very helpful with the warranty . +608 AlarmClock NEG 1 do not expect this to last more than 1 year . the digital display be so bright that it hurt to look at it if you wake up and want to see the time . but the bottom line , it do not work after about 9 month . I only give it 1 star because I have to . +975 AlarmClock NEG 1 boy ... do I goof !! I think this be a atomic clock . turn out all it do be reset itself from regular time to daylight savings etc. . not what I need . I want one that reset after the power go out ... or if you move it from spot to spot . I really do think it be self setting ... sorry . I would have give he no star if that be a option . how in the world can a `` atomic '' clock be so wrong ! sorry for yell . . but this be beyond ridiculi . it be actually 14 minute fast ... and as mention by someone earlier there be no way to make correction . what a waste . complaint # 2 be that ... if someone need big number so as to see they wothout glass ... it might also follow that they hearing be not as sharp as it once be . the alarm ??? on this thing be not as loud as mant of the bird outside my window each morning . I be hopeful this review will help someone make a different choice when purchase from this company . +143 AlarmClock NEG 1 title say everything . I doubt it will last even a month . very cheap quality . do not deserve even single star . +487 AlarmClock POS 4 its not a big clock , its around 12 inch . the light turn red when you push the head . I really like it . the only thing i didnt like its that the alarm have a very low sound . +685 AlarmClock NEG 1 do not buy as a sleep sound device . it look nice and have dual alarm , but that be about it . the sleep sound be not realistic and be only short little loop . you will be more agitate than relax as you listen to the little short loop over and over . +165 AlarmClock NEU 3 this clock have a backup battery operate clock that keep the time when the regular power be lose . the problem with this backup function be that it do not feed the time to the main clock display and there be no way to tell the time until the regular power be restore . the alarm do function during the power outage , if you have set it . Gotta know the time . +291 AlarmClock POS 5 this be one of the best clock I have purchase . without my glass I can see it from a good distance , number be giant size . if you need a clock I highly recommend this one . +107 AlarmClock NEG 2 I use it in the past half a year and find the time display sometimes jump randomly . it happen 3 or 4 time in past 5 month . if you seriously need a alarm clock to keep you from be late for school or business , try to find another one . +562 AlarmClock POS 4 I think this be a fantastic alarm clock . although it could have be the gental alarm could be a tad louder . the number be large enough to see . otherwise there be nothing wrong with it . i like the tradtional alarm clock styal . I be more impressed with the quality of this clock better then it be t112 counter part . I would love to see more of these make then the other one witch I could do without . i like havee three option of bell & not two . this electronic be pretty to look at also . +610 AlarmClock POS 5 this be a awesome product ! mega alarm power in a very cute clock . I have purchase two so far for both my girl who tend to oversleep . the clock plus the vibrate pillow attachment guarantee that they 'll wake up on time . its easy to use and you can adjust the sound and vibration to you liking . +46 AlarmClock POS 4 nice clock with great big number . set itself automatically . Mine set itsef 3 minute slow and there be absolutely no way to manually correct it . I just mentally add 3 minute when I look at it . technology be great , when it work . +90 AlarmClock NEG 2 I really like the look of the clock , the number , sort of nostalgic , but when I get the clock , it be not the same . it be boring , like a hundred other clock . I have not use it yet , and when -- and if I do before return it , I 'll be able to judge its performance . -lrb- see additional photo . -rrb- +295 AlarmClock NEG 2 the picture of this jukebox alarm clock be a bit misleading . it be somewhat smaller than I expect and look like a cheap novelty toy . but since we decorate one of we guest room as `` the Music Room '' this fit right in . it be battery operate , which be a drawback for a alarm clock if you really depend on wake on time ! it do have provision for battery backup if the main battery die . the song it play be snippet of the original artist and be kinda fun . +734 AlarmClock POS 5 you can not sleep through this alarm . seriously . the feature that Sonic boom include be also really great -lrb- 24 hour option , alarm off button instead of a switch , easy to find snooze -rrb- ; and make this project well worth the purchase price . +251 AlarmClock POS 5 I really like this little clock ! it fold up flat , go anywhere , easy to use and emit a distinct beep sound for the alarm which be loud enough to wake you yet not totally obnoxious . love it ! +867 AlarmClock POS 4 I purchase this clock because I do not need a clock radio . I like the large display and it do not make you jump out of bed when it go off . the only down side be that it come preset with the time . it be one minute off the real time , that be , the time on my cable box and my satelite watch . it annoy I a bit because the time can not be adjust . but it work great and be a good price . so I guess I will put up with it . +302 AlarmClock POS 5 I get this little guy base on the good review . we use it on a 12-day cruise in the UK in which we be horribly jet-lagged with a 8-hour time difference . the clock be small , lightweight , compact , and incredibly easy to use and set ! I love the giant button which light up the number in neon blue . it be very helpful when check the time in the middle of the night . I love that it blink in red when the alarm go off , and that the snooze button be so large . I highly recommend it ! +118 AlarmClock POS 5 my wife be redecorate we bedroom and be look for a nice old fashion clock - we find this one at amazon and she love the line and look and everything about it . we order and it come in no time . I read review criticize the alarm , but I like it a lot . . the face start flash about a minute before the alarm sound , give I a chance to wake up without disturbing my wife , who like to sleep in . very please with this purchase and it be such a cool look clock ! +24 AlarmClock POS 5 these be great little clock . I have use they for over 15 year , and keep buy they 3 or 4 at a time . why ? because sooner or later I will leave my clock in a hotel room somewhere . -lrb- and once a colleague find it and `` sort of fail to return it '' because she like it so much . -rrb- important to I be that it have separate hour and minute setting - I cross a lot of time zone , and reset this clock be as easy as can be . I have try the clock that sense the time zone automatically , which work fine in the US but not at all in most of the rest of the world . this clock be reliable , easy , small , light , durable and cheap . the all-time bargain of the clock world . just great . +489 AlarmClock NEU 3 I really enjoy use this product , and it be a great addition to my Star Wars collection . I do wish it have more feature -lrb- date , timer , etc. -rrb- , but if you be a Star Wars fanatic like I , that should not be a problem . I really be please with this purchase , and seriously recommend it ! I do hope they come out with more product just like this one . +642 AlarmClock POS 5 I buy this clock for one of my hard-to-wake-up family member , and just receive it . after put in battery and test it , this be my analysis : pro : compact size , attractive design , good size digital number , hi and low alarm setting -lrb- high be very loud -rrb- , snooze feature , use aa battery . con : a bit hard to set - not intuitive - must hold down the time or alarm button while set time or alarm time , no constant light on the digital number time although dial be light when the snooze button be push . I personally prefer set time and alarm on the dial clock , much easier . I also like have a constant back-light on the time so I can see it in the dark . -lrb- color be silver , not blue as in picture . -rrb- all thing consider , this be a very nice clock . good clock these day be hard to come by . I like this one overall , and be seriously think of get a few more for other family member who need a good `` nudge '' to get up in the morning . +588 AlarmClock POS 5 it be small , simple , wake I up , and do not cost much . just what I be look for . +601 AlarmClock NEG 2 clock be small . keep good time . the problem I do have with this clock be the alarm be not loud enough . the alarm hand be almost as big as the second hand so if you look at it during the night -lrb- and that light be a joke -rrb- you can get confuse . I would say do not waste you money . get a better clock . +657 AlarmClock POS 5 it be so nice when you buy a product for a need use and it be a lot better than you expect !! my wife could not see a small clock at night without she glass -- well , that be not a problem any longer ! this work perfect , look great , easy to operate and doesnt take up too much space . the battery back up use a 9 volt battery be a very nice feature . no , you cant tell time when the power be off , the battery keep time until the power come back on and the clock have the correct time . this be true with all battery back up , the battery CAN NOT power the light display . if you need a really BIG number clock this be it ! i search a long time and there be a lot of smaller number clock out there but no other with 2.5 inch . doesnt sound that big til you see it , WOW . dimmer work great also . do you search , there be bigger display available for 2-3 hundred dollar . this clock at 15.00 -- 20.00 be a real bargain and even have a FULL year warranty . try it , you will like it . +199 AlarmClock NEU 3 I buy two of these about 1 month ago . one be work fine and the other one stop work after 1 week . I try another battery but it do not help . the light no longer work and the time make clunking noise and the alarm do not sound . I be go to try to get a refund or replacement for it . +702 AlarmClock POS 5 this little guy be great , the alram go from low to high with out jump you out of bed ; can set it to see at night and the hand second make no noise . it help I relax know it will do its job so I can go to mine . +998 AlarmClock POS 5 Got 2 of these for my nephew for Christmas . they love they . as of today there have be problem with they . great product that sure make 2 5 year old boy happy . +632 AlarmClock NEU 3 I purchase the Sharper image sound soother ec-b100 to drown out background noise and to help with the ringing in my ear . prior to that I have be use a small room size air purifier to do the job . oh , the purifier still work it be I figure a sound machine would do a better job . now this sound machine have a lot of great feature , sleep to sound or run for as long as you choose . you can wake to a select sound or the beep beep of a alarm . the selection of sound be great , however , I like the rain and the White noise sound . Problem with mine be the volume . if I turn the volume on level `` 1 '' , it be way too quiet and hardly audible . if my wife be watch tv in the other room I could easily hear it . nor do it mask out the ringing in my ear . it do not mask the tv out nor any other background noise . but if I turn the volume to the next setting , `` 2 '' it be way too loud . I could hear it in the other room and be not able to sleep by it . it be like go from Level 1 to Level 5 with no in between . sadly I have no choice but to return it and I 'll just use my purifier or a floor fan in the summer . +329 AlarmClock NEG 1 the universal standard for a clock be reliability . the single aa battery be easily dislodge , stop the clock . although I like the fact that it be analog with a retro style , it be poorly engineer and shoddily manufacture . additionally , it take over six week for delivery . +242 AlarmClock POS 5 good little clock all the way around . very happy with it . the only problem be that it be package poorly and something be rattle on the inside . do not seem to affect the clock . +756 AlarmClock POS 4 the night light be not good enough in the dark , send it back . my previous one of this model with the same dim light work for year . if it have a night light that i could read in the dark it would be great . if you have to put on reading glass to read it , and maybe a lamp , it be not good enough . if you never check the time in the middle of the night so do not need to turn on a lamp , then this be a great travel clock . +156 AlarmClock POS 4 I receive this gift for christmas in 2011 and it have be a lot of fun have around the house . for someone who be a big Dr. who fan I would definitely recommend buy this alarm clock , if for nothing more then to be able to `` exterminate ! '' anyone nearby . I do not use this as anything more then the less practical enjoyment factor as I use a more traditional and trust clock that can reliably get I to work on time . overall the clock have good detail and have a nice handy light that can work in a dark\/semi-dark room . I like the sound that it make however it be limit to only three distinct and repeat noise , the favorite as always be `` exterminate ! '' . if you do need to use this for a practical application then be warn that it will require some patience to learn how to program and maintain the different setting . the clock be make of rather flimsy material and be very light for its size . as I have not have any issue with the sound or use the clock frequently I can not comment on the longevity of the Dalek . suggest if you have a traditional alarm clock or use you cell phone like a lot of people do , then keep both . if you be look for a fun toy or nice night side adornment then look no further . +534 AlarmClock POS 5 I have look everywhere -lrb- include Wal-Mart -rrb- and could not find just a simple travel clock anywhere . this be just what I want - nothing fancy but it do the job I need it to do . +965 AlarmClock POS 4 buy this on Friday 22\/10 and get it on Monday 26\/10 and after only one night I have to share my thought . this product be awesome and live up to the hype . I have no problem with the display as I leave the plastic sheet on , the choice of sound be more than I need . I try a few but I like the chime the best and will stick with that . the sound setting be fine with I . I leave it at the # 1 and that be just fine with I . for those who have complain about the brightness of the display screen or the volume imo they be just nitpicker . I be glad that I buy this product and look forward to many year of use . if you be in the market for this type of alarm Clock\/Sound Machine look no further , this be the best out there . +664 AlarmClock NEG 1 somehow this clock have a different rate than the expect 1h per hour . it run almost 50 % as fast , what make it useless . it would be interesting to see how frequent this problem be . anyone else ? +335 AlarmClock POS 5 this be a handsome product ; a storm trooper clock that be reliable to wake my son up to school everyday . do not have to change battery often ; a bit pricey , but recommend . +432 AlarmClock POS 5 my eight year old son want this for he room . it come in on time . the packaging be in perfect condition . it be easy to use , my son have use it to wake up for school by himself . look great on he night stand . he put it in a different pose everyday . +807 AlarmClock POS 5 I have have this clock for about 2 year , and love it . while it do not have all of the bell and whistle of the more expensive clock , it do what its job , and do it very well . in addition , I have a small problem with my clock , and even though I never send in my warranty card , the company be amazing about help I out , and get I a replacement . I would highly recommend this product . +713 AlarmClock POS 4 this clock have some cool feature . the bell be somewhat loud , but the flash light usually wake I up first . and I love it be look , with a couple of exception . as a designer , I be bother by the transparency of the left side of the clock , especially when my bedside table lamp be illuminate . also , the light for the clock face have a orange-colored hot spot by the ' 3 ' . I be not sure why that be , and if it be all of they or just mine . maybe I be be too picky ... I try to imagine that the original clock have these same defect , and try to love the clock anyway . +264 AlarmClock NEG 2 this be a pretty nifty clock . nothing to bad here - just do not count on the projection - it be very diffieculy to see . +742 AlarmClock POS 4 this little clock only measure 2 '' x 2 '' but it be simplicity make up for the tiny size . the off\/off button be simple to operate -lrb- up for `` on , '' and down for `` off '' -rrb- , the time and alarm be easy to set , and the clock make no noticeable tick sound . the alarm be reasonably loud . I would have like something larger and a bit more robust -lrb- I fumble in the morning -rrb- and be amaze at how difficult it be to find a simple battery operate alarm clock that do nothing but keep the time and wake you up . +350 AlarmClock NEG 1 for a small stereo \/ cd-player , this device be fine . as a alarm clock , it be downright awful . use a cd with the alarm function would have be great if it do not only play the first song on a cd - even the most basic disc-man have a memory function , so why can not this clock ? also , the snooze be for 5 minute interval - as a lifelong and hardcore snooze-button user , this be just obnoxious . I need the standard 9-minute snooze , but learn that fact the hard way . the worst thing about this clock , though , be that it could not even keep correct time ! Mine would lose over a minute a day , so that by the end of the week it be 10 minute behind my other clock . do not bother with this one - either pay a little more for something a little better , or use you cell phone -lrb- like I have have to resort to -rrb- . +456 AlarmClock NEG 1 horrible deal with this store . I receive the wrong item , correct item list on packing slip . however , wrong item send . +924 AlarmClock POS 5 I be very pleased with my purchase . I love the dual alarm and the choice of soothing sound . the design be very functional , as it fit on my nightstand . great product for the money . fast delivery from Amazon . +792 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock replace we last alarm which fall victim to a overly angry press of the snooze button . my wife have be use it for a week now with no complaint . the initial setup be incredibly easy . after hold setup , you use the dial to input you setting . a fast turn of the dial increase the time in 10 or 30 minute increment ; a slow one nudge the minute along . I never realize how handy it be to have a 7-day alarm schedule - especially where I like to sleep in on weekend and have to be up early on monday . it be worth note , however , that if on a certain Wednesday you take a day off -lrb- and change the wake-up time -rrb- you would have a entire week to forget that you would do so . finally , it would useful if the manufacturer would better secure the holder for the -lrb- backup -rrb- battery . still , I be as enthusiastic as one could be about a alarm clock . +931 AlarmClock NEG 1 they show 2 different picture online . I do not get the clock I think I be get . I think the back light up . +468 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock be so cool ! I love the nature sound to get I to sleep . this clock be not portable but it be for desk , nightstand , etc. . if you want to get a clock for home this be thee clock to get ! +971 AlarmClock POS 4 when not light , the clock readout be a little difficult to read . you can adjust the angle of the base to make it easier , so that be a plus . the alarm be loud - I be a pretty sound sleeper and this little clock get I up . I like that it fold up , fit easily in luggage or carry-on . +495 AlarmClock NEU 3 bought we second one of these chinese product . First be and be excellent . this one look great , and be a bit larger , with easier to read number . that be the good news ; the bad news be that it run slow , and the night-time glowing dial do not glow . really piss I off . way too much trouble to return . for week after the first Elgin purchase , I rave that the chinese finally get american quality production right . no such luck ! Elgin 3514E Bedside Alarm clock +463 AlarmClock POS 4 this Elgin clock seem to be well make and I be very satisfied with it be performance . it be advertise as take one c battery for operation , but in fact it take three aa battery . I can not attest to battery life as I have only own it a short while . I do like the quiet operation . +621 AlarmClock POS 5 this be a very neat product from lego since i be a fan of the star war series . I especially like ease of set up set up , very user friendly . the number on the clock be large and bold which make tell the time easy . however , the clock only use a standard alarm tone , I be hope for something star war theme . overall it be a great product for star war and lego fan alike . +110 AlarmClock NEG 2 First of all it be a cordless and very light clock which some people may find useful . its more like something you can travel with vs something you would use in you bedroom . I guess i miss the cordless part in description . because it be cordless the background light do not stay on and at night you can not see the time unless you press on snooze and the light only appear for a few seconds . unless you press on snooze there be no background light and you cant see a thing on this clock . I prefer alarm with background light so it stay on through the day and night and i do not have to press on anything to see the time . secondly , its be over 24 hour and the clock still do not synchronize with time zone and i will have to set it up manually now . it be low price alarm clock and you get what you pay for . I would go for a more expensive alarm of the same brand as they be much better and more solid clock with backup battery install in case the electricity go off and etc. . +154 AlarmClock POS 5 we love we Neverlate - in fact , we have two in the house ! the radio sound really good in comparison to most alarm clock , and obviously be able to set a different alarm time for each day of the week be pretty cool . this clock be a great idea , and work very well . +93 AlarmClock POS 4 the alarm clock be very good . it be not obnoxiously loud , which I like . not only do it beep , but the light also flash . my only dislike be that the SNOOZE be not very long . it be only 4 minute . I would prefer more time than that . but it do get I out of bed . it small and portable , so I bring it with I when I travel because of the convenience . it seem to be a good product . +357 AlarmClock POS 5 I do not buy this for the alarm and I have not try it so I can not include that as part of my review . my sole purpose for buy this be for the large display as a clock . I have a very large living room and I can now see what time it be from any part of the room . as a clock it be fantastic ! +50 AlarmClock POS 5 I just receive this clock , and I love it . I be a little skeptical about whether the light would wake I up -lrb- I be a heavy sleeper -rrb- , but as soon as they start flash , I wake up . the bell sound be also pretty loud , so I think it would be a good back-up . I definately recommend this clock . +929 AlarmClock NEG 1 I purchase this about two month ago , and it be a great alarm clock until recently . the speaker go out and can not be replace , and of course the seller will not do returns\/exchanges after the initial 30-day period , even though the merchandise be defective . it be a great alarm clock , especially for someone like I who have trouble wake up in the morning . I definitely would not have pay this much for it if I have know it would barely last two month ! +547 AlarmClock POS 4 I buy this radio as a Christmas present for a office mate . I want something small and not too expensive since in a office building thing can disapear . the reception in the building be ususaly not so good and that be a concern . three month later I be happy to report that this one work fine . we have have no problem with the radio or the CD player . +448 AlarmClock POS 4 I buy this clock for my son as a pre-kindergarten present . he love it . the only downside I have find be that the clock make a annoying `` beep '' when you press the head to illuminate the clock at night . otherwise , great product . +1 AlarmClock POS 4 I buy this for my husband 's birthday . he have trouble sleep at time . he love the sound and be snore in a matter moment . +35 AlarmClock POS 5 I love this clock . it be just the right size for my desk . it have a easy to read face and I like the second hand . I would highly recommend this clock . it be perfect for a desk or bed side table . +424 AlarmClock NEG 1 I see this radio at target and think it look really cool . I like the old-fashioned styling and the blue display . unfortunately , I quickly find two major problem with this . as someone state earlier , the display be too bright-it light up my room like a full moon and there seem to be no way to turn it down . the second major problem be that the volume dial do not turn smoothly , rather it be notch in such a way that there really be no way to control the volume . on the unit I have , either the volume be down all the way , okay at the first notch , and way too loud on the second notch . I like the nature sound , but the bird sound be rather silly because they sound like snippet from a dozen different habitat and be distract . the flowing water sound nice , though . tuning be interesting because the frequency be in 0.05 increment . so , to go from 90.5 to 90.7 , you have to push the up button four time instead of just once . while this be not a issue to go up one frequency , it be annoy to go up 5 or 10 . lastly , the speaker poop out on the second night . so , the radio be absolutely useless at this point . the radio be nice look and a little retro , but unfortunately , there be just too many design problem that make it a waste of money and time . it be go back to target first thing Saturday morning . +100 AlarmClock POS 5 when shopping for a alarm clock it be important to understand the difference between a alarm clock and a clock radio . the Neverlate be a Alarm clock - the main function of this device be to tell the time and wake you up . it be not intend to be you primary radio , so please do not purchase this clock if you want a great radio with a digital tuner . but , if you want a good radio that do it be primary job very well , then I highly recommend this alarm clock . I really like be able to set a different alarm time for each day of the week . also , the radio sound good , and the clock be easy to read . I do not find the clock display too bright at all -lrb- as one reviewer do -rrb- , and I like the cool industrial design . two additional feature that might interest some people : -lrb- 1 -rrb- there be a nap feature that allow you to quickly set the clock for a short time when you take a nap , and -lrb- 2 -rrb- there be a sleep feature that turn off the radio after a set amount of time . this be a great clock that do its job very well . +450 AlarmClock NEG 1 look at the picture , it seem that the number would be visible at night . they be not and that be the whole point for my daughter to have a clock - so she would not get up at 5 be - she can look at the clock and see that the first number be not a 7 , so do not get up ... however , for she to view the number in the dark , she have to push down on the clock for the light to come on and it only stay on as long as she be push on it . the Dora be already detatch from the base , the screw come up from the bottom and I would have to take the clock apart to try to screw it back in ... not a good value ! junk !! +571 AlarmClock POS 4 this be a very nice little clock for the money . the setting button be clear and easy to use . the alarm be perfectly adequate for I . my only problem be that the back light be not sufficient to see the time at night . +168 AlarmClock POS 5 I have own two of these for year , they have take a lot of abuse -lrb- we have two small boy -rrb- and still work great . yes , the alarm setting can be off by a bit , but consistently by the same amount . so once you figure out by how much , you can easily make the correct adjustment . a small inconvenience in my opinion , consider the cost and overall quality - they do keep the time accurately . also , a nice snooze and crescendo feature , not too annoying but loud enough . all in all , a great value . Update 1\/09 Change of feature : I just get another one , and notice they no longer have the snooze and crescendo feature . will see if the reliability be the same as before . +717 AlarmClock POS 5 my 17 year old daughter be invite to attend she last two year of high school away from home . she be incredibly smart and we just could not pass up the opportunity for she . the only problem be , be away from home and have nobody to make she get up , she be constantly oversleep ! we shop for all sort of alarm clock for she , always buy the one that be advertise as be the loudest . after she second detention for miss class and\/or be tardy I decide I have to find something that actually would wake she up . well , I find it . she have now have this alarm clock for a little over a month and have not oversleep once !! she say the first couple of day it scare she half to death , but this be not one of those alarm that just buzz and she never hear . she put the part that vibrate under she pillow because put it under the mattress be not a option with the way the dorm bed be construct . I highly recommend this product to anyone who have a child like mine who do not hear traditional alarm clock !! one less worry for I as a mother have a child live away from home . +875 AlarmClock NEU 3 this replace a old Westclox travel clock that serve I well for many year , so I be familiar with the control . the clock fold up nicely for storage and be easy to set . I be a therapist and need a portable clock to time session , so it need to be quickly readable from a few foot away . this clock be not as readable as I would prefer -lrb- I wish the numeral be a little bigger and the contrast a little higher -rrb- , but it seem better than other digital travel alarm . next time , maybe I 'll try a battery-powered analog clock . +396 AlarmClock NEG 2 love how this clock look . but it do not keep time ... every week or so its behind twenty minute so I would not use it for alarm purpose . I be consider rebuy another one hope that one will keep time because I be attach to how it look in my little girl nursery . and yes , I have change the battery many time to no avail . +550 AlarmClock POS 4 great clock : good look , easy to set , easy read . one disappointment : it work from power line , not battery - battery be only to preserve setting while power be off . after think a bit it be understandable why it be so : display be big and therefore energy consuming . +893 AlarmClock NEG 2 receive the Westclox Travelmate today , and just print the return label . the face light do not illuminate ; AM\/PM do not appear on the face ; the alarm be barely discernable , and yes ... my hearing be excellent . cheap , cheap , cheap . the designer need to go back to the draw board . +927 AlarmClock POS 5 after purchase a ugly Sonic bomb alarm for myself and have great result -lrb- finally ! -rrb- get up for work on time , my 16-year-old daughter-also a very heavy sleeper-requested one . further search turn up the same alarm in way better clothing . now we both be jolt from sound sleep , out of bed , and be leave the house on time . if you want to get to class on time or keep you job , I highly recommend both of these alarm . they do not have multiple you-tube video for nothing ! +553 AlarmClock POS 4 I really like the idea of this clock , it be super cute ! and I love how you could move the leg and arm ! very unique ! the only con I find from this product be the alarm sound be not too loud , deep sleeper would not get waken by it . a cute suggestion would make the alarm louder , and maybe make the alarm the StarWars theme song ! +973 AlarmClock POS 5 i be a heavy sleeper and work 2 job so every alarm clock i have buy i couldnt hear ... they either chirp or the alarm be very soft and i couldnt hear they to wake for work . so i be always try not to sleep to heavily when i do get to sleep which eventually start make I pretty miserable from lack of sleep ... until i find this alarm clock the sonic boom now i can fall asleep and this clock wake I right up its loud and the vibrate help alot as well . very good product !!!!! very good investment !!!!! +138 AlarmClock POS 5 exeptionally readable digit , easily see across the room even with poor eyesight . gigantic snooze button that can not be confuse with another button . two-position display brightness : very bright or moderately dim . the perfect alarm clock . warning : I be refer to Equity 's previous model 30037 that have better control , include a dimmer switch ; it use a 9v backup battery . the current model 30037 have poorer control and no dimmer switch ; it use a 1.5 v backup battery . +409 AlarmClock POS 4 this foldable alarm clock run on 2 aaa battery , and include a light dial , snooze alarm , and 15-minute increment nap timer . it be easy to set and work like a charm . the 15-minute nap timer be programmable for up to several hour , and come in very handy for those `` power nap '' or longer snooze when you need to wake up , but do not want to set the alarm . my previous unit last for over three year of daily use and go on many airline trip and camping trip with I without a problem . the lcd display go out this summer , during a damp camping trip , but for less than $ 9 I be able to replace it . I be expect a good three year from the new one as well . I highly recommend this little travel clock . +471 AlarmClock POS 5 outstanding selection of sound . volume level be perfect . the back light option be a plus . the benefit of the clock reset due to power outage be wonderful . clock also reset itself at time change . a + + + + + +689 AlarmClock NEG 2 I buy this for travel as well as for it to be a back-up for a corded alarm clock in case there be a power outage . it be light and cordless , make it great for travel but the alarm be so weak it fail to be hear across a quiet bedroom . not much of a ` alarm ' clock if it can not do that task ! another cheap product make in China ! thanks , Timex ... +982 AlarmClock POS 5 this be a great little clock . I use as a back up in case the power go out in my area and my main clock go dark , this one have save I more than once . it be so easy to set the time , and alarm exactly on schedule . it be travel size too . +896 AlarmClock POS 5 I search the web for day and day until I could find this item . want a clock that would not talk to I , shine on the ceiling , or have `` bell and whistle ! '' just a good clock , with large , readable number for those of we get up in year , and need bigger digit ! the item arrive in a timely fashion , and my husband and I be very happy with this purchase . +63 AlarmClock NEG 2 I do a lot of research on Amazon by read review before I buy this clock . I feel mislead by all the five star review this clock get . it be cheaply make , the battery cover seem like it would break easily . I work ok but the light be way to dim to read the clock at night . a disappointment and not worth eight dollar . +510 AlarmClock POS 4 I have own this clock for about three year now and I love it . I be actually look for one for my boyfriend -lrb- who love it too -rrb- when I come across all these negative reveiw . now I be a light sleeper and even the quietest alarm would shock I awake . that be the main reason that I buy this clock in the first place . the radio break within the first few month and I find the buzzer too loud for I so I be force to leave it on the silent setting . I be really worry that this would not wake I up so I also choose to use the flash at wake up option . even if I have only have a couple of hour of sleep , the flash light wake I up everytime . grant , I be a light sleeper so it do not take much for I to get up , however my boyfriend have to set up what we call the `` alarm minefield '' to get up in the morning and I be suprise that this clock wake he up . I do have to agree that the display be quite bright , so I read the manual and you can dim the display by hold down the Demo and Snooze button at the same time . overall , this have a great size that make it easy to take with I when I travel -lrb- which I do quite often -rrb- . this clock have so many option that you can really fine tune it in order to find out what work best for you . I have recommend this clock to many people and they love theirs as well . +615 AlarmClock POS 5 the sound be very realistic -lrb- unfortunately that include the fog horn -rrb- . it be nice to wake up to bird or read before bed listen to the rain when it be nice out . my only dislike be that the screen be bright even when you have it turn all the way down . +996 AlarmClock POS 5 after read many review of atomic radio control clock , I pick this one . so far , it do everything right . great display , easy to set up , easy to set alarm . the solar cell be a very clever feature ; should maintain the battery for a very long time . +531 AlarmClock NEG 2 i didnt pay attention to the review ... actually i ignore they because i want this clock sooooooo badly . unfortunately , this replica be really , really cheap . i get it in the mail and open it up . china . cheap . plastic . nonetheless , i dig the look and can work with that ... check the alarm ... the ` light ' aspect of the alarm work , but the bell doesnt at all which be a no-go for I . suck , i really want to have it in proper work order , save you money here . two star because amazon rock and return it be easy ... beyond that ... you have be warn !!!! +277 AlarmClock POS 5 original review 2007 : what a great surprise ! I order this simply to have a clock in the bedroom that could be read in the dark without glass ... and that be exactly what I get , but much much more ! I plug this guy in and it show the correct time ! check the instruction pamphlet -lrb- actually print large enough to read ! -rrb- and find that this clock will automatically keep up with the correct time and automatically reset for change to daylight savings and back ! this be great for I because we have a lot of clock and get they all change twice a year be a real chore ... especially the one that require two button push at once or whatever . I have be buy expensive atomic clock simply to get rid of this problem , but this one be MUCH better than a atomic , where you have to diddle with get good reception and then wait while it update ... sometimes overnight ! this little guy be program for all time zone , just flip a well label switch on the back to select yours ... not a menu , a good old switch that you just have to change one time ! what a great invention ... I hope all clock will adopt this system . no worry about power outage , no problem if you be move ... just unplug it and plug it in at you new location ... it keep time while it be unplugged ! and as far as be readable in the dark , the number be so big it be almost scarey when you look at it at night ... 10 star ! I 'll get back with a update if I discover any problem or failure . update after one year of use . 1 . this clock have never fail to show the correct time and have never fail to alarm properly , even in my rural area where power blip be a norm . 2 . one reviewer say there be no way to change the time if it be wrong ... that be INCORRECT ! 3 . one reviewer can not figure how the clock know what time it be ... well obviously it be set initially in the factory ... but probably the reviewer be just joking . it be set up and maintain its setting with a small battery which be rate `` up to 5 year '' durability . 4 . another reviewer pull the battery and say this ruin he clock ... can not imagine why he would pull the battery in the first place , but I do know there be instruction for do this . do note that the clock itself be the plug-in type ... it only use the battery to power the memory\/setup chip . after a year of use , this be still my favorite clock and I get mad every time I have to change battery on my atomic clock because they be such a hassle and I pay over twice as much for they . this be the one to buy . I be look for Chaney to come out with one that can show I the outdoor temperature as well and I 'll scrap all my junky atomic . +536 AlarmClock NEG 2 I expect the projection feature to be a bit better ... it be hard to see in term of brightness and size . also , I do not know if it be standard in these clock , but you can not change the direction of the projection , so that the projection can be upside-down or side-ways depend on where the clock be positioned relative to the bed . I have to put my clock away from the bed -lrb- too snooze happy -rrb- and so the projection be upside-down . sure , I can just look at the clock , but the projection thing seem kind of fun . also , I be a bit surprised at the size of the clock ... very bulky . +752 AlarmClock POS 5 best , easiest clock ever . do not know what be up with the other review -- I buy mine for use overseas , and have not change the battery in over a year . keep perfect time , be basically idiot proof to set , and wake I up even when I stuff it under my pillow after snooze # 1 . my 4 yr old use it for a flashlight and play hockey with it -- and it be still perfect after 2 year . and it be battery op , so it work when the power go out . yes , the tripod design can be knock over , but so can my water glass , and when that happen , i be glad my clock be not plug in ! this really be a great little clock , and i be on today because i be buy 2 more to give as christmas gift . +246 AlarmClock POS 5 this fantastic little machine provide 20 different relaxing sound that help you fall asleep quickly . you can feel like you be lie on a beach , under a gentle rainfall , a quiet summer night of cricket chirp , and many more ! it have a large digital display clock and 2 alarm and a volume control for the sound . it be small and attractive and my new bestest little buddy !!! +688 AlarmClock POS 5 a great little clock with a vintage look , perfect for a small shelf in my country french room . good time , alarm great . very happy with clock ! +506 AlarmClock POS 4 I give this item to my 7 year old nephew for Christmas so have no personal experience with it . he , however , be super happy !!! no complaint so far . I have to say that the size be a real plus - not huge but big enough to impress ! +398 AlarmClock POS 5 I buy this for my husband for we anniversary . he have a old alarm clock that be hard to set . this one be great . simple to use , to set , to play , everything be marked very clearly . I get up half a hour earlier than he do , so it be fantastic to have a dual alarm . we wake up to a cd . it also sound great ! we can listen to we CD 's without have a extra CD player take up room . I have have no problem with it at all !! +161 AlarmClock POS 5 really great item that my neighbor tell I about as she have one that she have be use for over 10 year . my husband and I have trouble go to sleep and Ruby -lrb- we neighbor -rrb- tell I about she sound machine so I have to look it up . I find it on Amazon better and cheaper than anyone else have and mine have more feature than Ruby 's so she have decide that she be go to get one like ours . you can not go wrong with this machine as it have 20 sound , 2 alarm and a clock but it be not a BIG item so it do not take up too much room on you night table +947 AlarmClock NEU 3 the price be good . however , the back light be very dim . the time be difficult to read in the dark . I purchase for use as a bedside clock . +413 AlarmClock POS 5 I 'll leave it to the exist review to describe the nice design ; what I do want to add be that this alarm have serve I well for nearly 3 year now with no problem . it keep good time and do not need frequent battery replacement , and change the alarm time , etc be relatively painless for a digital clock -- the button be easy to use . snooze be big and convenient . I have drop it a couple time and it be survive fine . +457 AlarmClock POS 5 we live in a large condominium in so . ca . and the lay back atmoshpere of the daytime can soon become a beehive of activity at night . I like to sleep with we window open to enjoy we cool ocean breeze at night . needless to say , along with the cool breeze come the cool pool party and patio gala . my husband buy I this sound soother to help block out the late evening noise on the weekend . we love it and now sleep with it on every night . have work through most of the sound , they be very authentic and natural . one thing I would have like to have have would be a light control area on the top of the unit . turn the volume up and down , change the sound pattern , or even just set the alarm require turn on a light in the room to do . also have a time projection on the wall or ceiling would be terrific . every bedroom across America should have this machine ... baby too ! +963 AlarmClock POS 4 so far , I love my clock ... except one thing . there be no volume control available for the nature sound . if you do not want to be blast by the sound of pound wave , excited bird or a babble brook , you have to put the clock on the other side of the room and can not have it close to you head . I would prefer the volumn to be lower and adjustable . other than that , it have great feature for the cost ... . +80 AlarmClock NEU 3 pro : it do what it say . the display be nice and crisp . con : choose different option in different mode in awkward . when it start it always go to the menu rather than clock or photo view . you can not pause the photo slide show and keep listen to music . +247 AlarmClock POS 4 I would be look for a small alarm clock that do not appear to have be design in 1983 . pro : small , cool design , several smart feature , include `` alarm check '' which let you easily check if you alarm be set properly . good alarm volume . con : no brightness setting . a little too easy to accidentally snooze -- `` off '' be right next to `` snooze . '' design be a little bit more `` dorky '' than cool . 7-day setting can be annoying to set up at first , especially if you do not need different time every day . no big deal , though . I like it . +326 AlarmClock POS 5 my husband be a huge sw fan who receive this for he birthday . he be thrilled ! great look toy , with the bonus of be a clock\/mp3 player\/etc . good stuff ! +338 AlarmClock POS 5 this be such a attractive clock . number shine bright in a variety of color . it get my pre teen up . amazing . she try to beat the alarm . haha !! Works great !! wonderful gift idea . +43 AlarmClock NEU 3 I work at Kmart ... and I think about buy this clock for my son for christmas , we sell it for $ 20 ... . I choose not to , because it only work with battery ... ... now I see it on here for $ 60 ???????????? weird +728 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock be excellent for a bare bone digital clock . when I first plug it in , the time be less than one second off atomic time . I have plug and unplug the clock many time the past 6 month and the time be now about 26 seconds faster than actual time . the time and calendar can be manually adjust -- read the manual . the Daylight Saving Time can be disabled for portion of the U.S. which do not observe DST . the DST setting can be set to the new DST rule or old DST rule in the unlikely event Congress decide to go back to the old rule . by default , the clock be set to the new DST rule . in case of power failure , the display will turn off , but the clock will still run and the alarm will sound if the alarm be activate . the clock use 4 lr44 battery as backup . the manual say the battery last 3 year before need replacement . when change the battery , leave the clock plug in . this way , you will not need to manually reset the time and calendar . the downside to this clock be the blinking colon '' : '' and the display be bright . there be no dimmer switch . +556 AlarmClock POS 4 after read the mostly good review for this clock , I go ahead and order it . I be surprise to see it be not anywhere near as large as two VHS tape like one reviewer mention . it actually measure 5-1\/2 '' wide , 3 '' tall and 2 '' deep . it be very lightweight . the one feature that sell I be the configuration of the control . there be a single snooze\/light bar on the top - very simple , nothing else to press or grab accidentally while half asleep - and all the programming button be in the front . only the alarm on\/off switch be located in the back . you have the display option of 12\/24-hour time and fahrenheit\/celsius temperature . the atomic feature be fussy during setup but the bedroom 's location have also be problematic with two previous clock -lrb- a Oregon Scientific and a skyscan -rrb- . I now know to take atomic clock into the kitchen where there be better reception in order to do a initial setup and re-synch twice a year for DST . set up the alarm be fairly intuitive and easy to do -lrb- press mode\/set once and use the up\/down button for the hour , Mode\/Set again , then up\/down button for the minute -rrb- . I be a heavy sleeper but the alarm be loud enough to wake I up . the beeping be polite and not harsh at all . it start out slowly and begin to beep faster the more you delay . from a personal preference , I would have like a blue backlight instead of orange . tap the snooze\/light bar illuminate the display for approximately 3 seconds , which be not long enough if you be try to set the alarm in the dark . I also would have like the time digit to be larger - they be about 3\/4 '' tall . 1\/3rd of the bottom of the display be take up by the date , day and temperature -lrb- about 5\/16 '' tall -rrb- . all in all , for the 6 month I have have this alarm clock I have be happy with it . I have not drop it yet so can not speak to its durability . it do feel cheaply make but if it be anything like a Timex wristwatch , it 'll hopefully take a lickin ' and keep on tickin ' for a few year . +4 AlarmClock NEG 2 unfortunately I be not very pleased with the alarm clock . the ocean sound more like static than a real ocean . also the alarm clock do not look as cute as I imagine it would -lrb- base on the picture -rrb- . the face of the clock actually look as if the alarm clock have be use before because it have a few scratch . on the upside ... it work . +921 AlarmClock NEG 2 Didnot keep this clock , be not what I want ... cheap clock with too many knob for my taste ... +444 AlarmClock POS 5 this atomic solar power clock only need to be adjust once for you time zone . Daylight savings time adjust automatically . clock that depend on electricity and battery be cumbersome because of frequent power surge . the indoor temperature be a nice addition . I do not use the alarm feature . I be delighted know the date , day , and have the exact time to rely on . +981 AlarmClock POS 4 overall it be a quality sound machine with 20 different sound ! everyone should enjoy several different soothing sound . I be partial to rain , surfside , thunderstorm , and several other . there be a draw back , that be some of the sound loop be too short and keep I awake untl I find one I really like . another good feature be that the sound be continuous , which help I fall asleep ! it be also a dual alarm machine . +354 AlarmClock NEG 1 the alarm function on the new cd alarm clock which I receive do not function . that be the entire purpose of the purchase . +899 AlarmClock NEG 1 it be so small it do not bother I at all . if light really really bother you this may work . it be a lot of money for very little product . I now have a biobrite with white noise . I wish the BioBrite have a radio instead of a beep backup , but I be not asleep by then anyway since the light have wake I up . +490 AlarmClock NEG 2 I get this and it be light but it do not a feature to leave the light turn on . I find that this be not helpful . also , it look like you can not see AM or PM when you set the alarm . that definitely do not help . +179 AlarmClock POS 5 I use to dread wake up in the morning the terrifying noise of my cellphone , now I have a 30 minute buffer . when I wake up to the light I can get right up , or lie in bed until the audio alarm sound . the nap and sunset function be also very useful . to be sure , this thing be not perfectly design -lrb- I put low tack duct tape over the green led display and the radio be cheap -rrb- but it be pro far outweigh any of this . personally , this be more than enough light to wake I up -lrb- usually within 10 minute of a 30 min cycle -rrb- ... but maybe you be one of those people that can sleep through anything . +795 AlarmClock NEG 1 I would not recommend this toy at all i be so disappointed ! 1 . this alarm clock be battery power only ! 2 . light weight plastic and cheaply make unlike the remote control Daleks 3 . projection light very dim unless its completely dark 4 . sound work 3 then stop I give this as a gift set it all up test it and then set the alarm for my friend to find they gift , to my shock the light go off but no sound talk about a fail Christmas gift . I send it back for a full refund do not buy this i think it look so cool and i love Doctor who but this product be such a let down +961 AlarmClock POS 4 I have a 7 year old son who want this alarm clock for Christmas . I be able to find one here on Amazon while all local store have sell out . my son be so excited and have use it every school morning to wake himself up . he say he be give I a few extra minute to get ready in the morning . a good product to teach responsibility !! +839 AlarmClock POS 5 it be high quality and very easy to set . people complain about it be too bright but I buy it for my boyfriend who like he room pitch black , and he say it do not bother he at all . it be silent and attractive and I be very pleased . +663 AlarmClock POS 5 I have one on each side of we bed and we coordinate the sound . usually , it be north Woods , which sound great with we southern suburb when we crack the window . sometimes we use thunderstorm and rain . I give one to my son this year for he birthday and this most recent purchase from Amazon -lrb- a amazing price -rrb- be for the guest room . so , if one of we can not sleep or have to get up and sleep in the guest room we can still be comfort with we sound machine . the only draw back be the bright light . I simply turn the clock face down . Problem solve . we use the beeper for a alarm and that work great because we leave the north Woods sound on all night . I even use it if I take a nap in the afternoon turn on the North Woods - zap ! I be out . Pavlov training I guess . you can check out all 20 sound at Sharper image . 10-16-11 Update : one of the best feature be the battery backup . believe I when I tell you that when the power go out , this be the one clock in the house that still tell time and at which time I appreciate the bright back light as it almost light up the room . we still use the North Woods -lrb- cricket sound and night sound -rrb- and with we window open at night the North Woods sound combine with we Southern Suburbs sound and its like surround sound . wonderful . we have be on a couple of trip and I have just unplugged my radio and plug in on my side of bed in motel and we get to sleep easily . the time never skip a beat . 6-18-12 Update : I have add Brookstone Tranquil Moments Sound therapy system with the sound of rain , which be far superior to Sharper image , along with sharper image north Woods . Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh ! sound to sleep by . incredible . purchase at another site for $ 57 and free shipping . Brookstone be also very bright ; I cover it with two dark purple wash clothes behind a plant . +675 AlarmClock POS 4 leave my previous travel-size alarm clock in Paris and go through a couple different one -lrb- slight more expensive -rrb- before I get this guy . I be very satisfied . it be very compact -lrb- travel + + + -rrb- , cheap -lrb- always a + -rrb- , and pretty simple . everything have dedicate control . my only issue be the same `` feel '' of the display and alarm on\/off control , so I have miss alarm occasionally because I simply slide the wrong slider -lrb- display control instead of set the alarm slider to ON -rrb- . still like it a lot after about six month . +167 AlarmClock POS 4 there be just two thing wrong with this product : the display be very small and very bright . if you be nearsighted , the .5 inch tall number be difficult to see during those groggy middle of the night time check . also , if you be use to a very dark room -lrb- I mean you be so light sensitive that you find the blue and green number display on most clock too bright so you have resort to the red -rrb- , this clock be go to annoy you . the number be dark against the light window , and 2.75 inch by .75 inch of glowing green inch from you head will disturb the most light-sensitive sleeper out there . other than that , the thing be perfect -- easy to set and use , and the radio be surprisingly good . I like the retro-industrial knob and dial , but I guess I be go to have to get that lasik surgery after all ... +308 AlarmClock POS 5 my wife have cataract , but with the large letter she can see the time from all across the room , and so far it have keep time perfectly +465 AlarmClock POS 5 do I receive a update version since the previous comment . . hmm . I must have . First of all , I love this product and here 's why : -lrb- I be listen to Rainforest as I write this , and I be in heaven -rrb- there be a volume range you can adjust for the sound from from 1 - 8 range . I only need to set mine at 2 for a audible , yet gentle and clear sound in my bedroom . this machine can be use in a small room to a large , spacious room with the range capability . you can adjust the backlight brightness on the display to 3 setting : hus , Med , or Lo there be also a Daylight Savings Time button on the back that can be activate . the 20 different sound to choose from be generous compare to other nature sound product . the sound be clear with combined layer of soft background to up front stronger sound - very accurate and realistic you can set a timer for sound if you choose and the sound will automatically stop at the end of the time . two separate alarm setting -lrb- can choose a sound or a beep alarm -rrb- the price be very , very affordable ! product be lightweight and sturdy , compact to fit gracefully on a small bedstand , sleek and well balanced . to parent with newborn : there be a heartbeat sound ! what more can I say ... sharper image produce another quality product . I previously have a expensive wooden chime alarm clock , and when the chime begin to sound like a low clunk after two year , it become almost worthless , except for the digital clock image , so live and learn ! I be jubliant and satisfied that I find a even better product with so many feature and sound option ... +272 AlarmClock NEG 1 this clock quit work for I after 2 week of use . and the gradual wake thing never work right . +121 AlarmClock POS 4 the clock be so cheap and very useful and reliable . the back light be really helpful at night . the thermometer come it handy to temperature control . +181 AlarmClock NEG 2 I get this clock last week . I need a quiet clock for my bed headboard and this sound like it . I be also interested in one that be dark till you push a button to illuminate it . this be suppose to fit the bill but do not . the thing arrive in perfect packaging and look fine -lrb- no damage -rrb- I add a battery and see that it start run -lrb- sweeping second hand -rrb- . so then I try the light and there be nothing . I notice that the switch on back could be set to utilize the light sensor on top so I try that . still nothing . then I notice that the clock stop run . a light tap cause it to start run again . I open the battery compartment and rotate the battery a few time , in hope that would clean off some of the contact oxidation . it seem to do the job . I would have return this thing but it seem to keep pretty good time so I be test its accuracy to see if it will make a good desk clock for work . if that play out , I do not need the light function there so I 'll just use it as be . +533 AlarmClock POS 5 we have four kid , the oldest be 4 yo , so sound machine be common in my house . here 's how I would rank the one we use currently : 1 . sharper image ec-b100 -lrb- ~ $ 40 -rrb- . pro : 20 sound , by far the best for low -lrb- bass sound -rrb- , ac power . con : Big , expensive . 2 . White Noise app for iphone\/ipod -lrb- Free for Lite version -rrb- . pro : sound ok , cheap . con : only 10 sound , need smartphone , need to be charge or plug in . 3 . Sleep Aid app for iphone\/ipod -lrb- $ 0.99 -rrb- . pro : sound ok , cheap . con : only a few sound , need smartphone , need to be charge or plug in . 4 . Conair SU7 Sound therapy and relaxation clock radio pro : good value , compact unit , ac power . con : sound fair compare with app , terrible when compare with sharper image , only 10 sound . - recommendation - it be not cheap but it be a really good sound machine . if you be look for a physical machine and want value , go with the Conair ; otherwise , spend the extra money and get this . - SPECIAL note if you have kid - we do not use any of these for the alarm clock feature . if you be use this for kid , I highly recommend this american innovative teach I Time ! talk Alarm clock and nightlight +631 AlarmClock POS 5 I be buy a replacement that I have for 15 year . it still work but the light go off . I never think they be still make it . I try recently 2 other brand that do not make it 1 month pay around $ 25 . I give up , I be still use my old westclck until today when I find this one on Amazon . +145 AlarmClock NEU 3 this clock work for I because I have poor vision it be larger than most small portble alarm and it have black number on white . because I be a insomniac I like a clock close to I by my pillow . I like the brightness of the face and the fact that it have a good light by tap on top . however if you want a clock that keep good time this be not it . it lose about 5 minute during the day average and 10 at night , probably because I tap the light at least once . the exact time do not matter that much to I in those circumstance because its easy to just turn the time knob in back and reset it . +280 AlarmClock NEG 2 this clock break in less than 6 month , most likely because I use it everyday and do a lot of snooze . it be small so do not take up much space on the night table or suitcase . if it be sturdier it would get more star . +696 AlarmClock POS 5 I purchase this for my fiance as he be a big fan of Doctor who ; myself , I be a fan , but the sound of a Dalek be the last thing I would want to wake up to . this last fact be what make this so great . this underground Toys Doctor who Dalek Projector Alarm clock be so loud , I nearly have a heart attack the first time it go off in the morning . furthermore , it have no easily-found `` off '' button for the alarm feature ; press down on it only make it snooze . thankfully , I find that the DEMO button be the `` off '' button for the alarm , so I do not have to resort to pull the battery . the clock also project brightly on the ceiling when the Dalek 's top be push down -- very handy . as a Doctor who fan , I appreciate the detail of this toy and the high-quality sound effect . as a person who often want to sleep through the alarm in the morning and often succeed , the sheer volume of the alarm feature make this great . just make sure you be in good health because , as a fit person in she 20 , this dalek almost `` exterminate '' - d I . 5 star for the fantastic quality and the fact that after much use there have be no issue with sound or projection feature . +250 AlarmClock POS 5 this replace the clock radio we have have since the 90 's . we never listen or wake up to music because my husband need a `` bomb '' to get he out of bed . for some reason , he hear the `` click '' which be very faint , and it start ... very low at first , increase in volume if he do not turn it off . the dual alarm be great and easy to set and the display go from very bright to faint or even off with a push of a button . since the light bother I at night , I turn it off but if need , just a touch of the snooze button show the time for a few seconds . we test the clock when we first get it to make sure it be loud enough to wake he and it be more than sufficient , even though he hear it earlier . +455 AlarmClock POS 4 this be my daughter 's favorite clock . she take it everywhere but somehow forget to take it when she go off to school . so , I `` borrow '' it . it be at least 5 year old now and the projection display be go out . it have be wonderful for all these year tho . the battery be a great back up for when the power go out . the only thing I do not care for be that the projector display be upside down when you be lie in bed and there be no way that I can see to flip it . +423 AlarmClock POS 4 other review be correct as to the instruction leave something to be desire . I spend 45 minute try to figure out how to set the alarm . in the end , just keep try and you will stumble across the correct combo of button to press and when . I enjoy be awaken by chime vs my old alarm clock with a nasty loud buzzer that would make you jump five foot in the air when it go off . other reviewer where correct in say the alarm sound i.e. chime , rainfall etc. be even to loud in the lowest setting . I be go to experiment slightly cover the speaker with duct tape till I get it to the lower volume I want . this clock be not perfect , but the next best -lcb- for chime -rcb- be twice as expensive as this one . otherwise there be no other clock that come close to this one and trust I , I spend countless hour search the internet for just the right clock . this be as close as you be go to get with a clock that offer many different sound to wake to , have two separate alarm . one for you & one for you wife . the clock have a nice look to it . to those who complain about the sound quality etc. . you get what you pay for , go spend hundred of dollar and get a ipod with a separate sound system . +442 AlarmClock NEG 2 I have be search for a affordable sunrise simulator for some time now , and still have not find one that be worth the money . the Soleil Sun Alarm clock be cheaply make but come with a large price tag . it be small in size , which make it great for place it on a small nightstand , but it have to be position just so in order to read the display -lrb- the instruction recommend `` eye level '' , but that be not necessarily the case -rrb- . the display be not illuminate , so it be unreadable unless you press a button to activate the backlight . the nature sound have a annoying hum accompany the sound regardless of the volume . the lead light be a great addition , but be not replaceable which be a problem . the light itself be not bright enough to use as a reading light , which be one of the feature list in the product description . I would not recommend this product . +356 AlarmClock POS 5 this be loud . Got this for my girlfriend who have a heck of a time get up in the morning . we both sit upright in bed the first morning she use this . the bed shaker work well too . so far it seem to be keep good time which some have think to be a issue and we have have this clock for a couple of week . she do not have any problem get up in the morning -lrb- though she have be know to hit the snooze but from time to time : p -rrb- +194 AlarmClock POS 5 I have a similar clock that I buy in Tokyo several year ago . the original be a Seiko that still work but the alarm on\/off switch become loose and can easily turn off r on just by move the clock in the night . I choose this clock because it be very similar . it work as advertise . the alarm be loud enough to wake the heaviest sleeper without be too annoying . if I have to complain , it would be about the size of the display which be smaller than I have hope . however , it be easily read from the bedside . +825 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock be give as a present at Christmas . it work as avertised and have exceed my expectation . I would recommend it for anyone consider use it for background noise while you be sleep and still need the functionality of a good alarm to wake by . +169 AlarmClock POS 5 I like the : 1 -rrb- Easy to read display 2 -rrb- Alarm Reset - single button turn off alarm and reset it for next day and it be easy to find 3 -rrb- Easy to use 4 -rrb- display PM & Alarm on 5 -rrb- single buttom to list to NOAA Weather 6 -rrb- look good , but if you be up very close have a bit of a paint on finish appearence - the finish could be better . 7 -rrb- single alarm - most radio alarm clock have two alarm , but as I never use that feature and it cause confusion on what I be set more than once , I very much like that there be only one alarm . 8 -rrb- pick up AM , FM , and Weather great - I be in a city . 9 -rrb- Great Price - I prefer this radio to my almost new ... radio that it be replace ! +451 AlarmClock POS 4 I get this clock for my 13 year old brother for Christmas . he be a huge star war fan and he love it . I really like the size of the item , it be not too small like I be halfway expect it to be ; it also be not too big . I think the price be a little high for what it actually be , but overall , I be happy with the purchase . +97 AlarmClock NEG 1 this clock will not keep the right time . it keep kick back a hour . I would not buy this product again . I have have other La Crosse item that I have really like . this one be no good ! +790 AlarmClock POS 4 the Elgin Travel Alarm clock have several feature that I like . it be battery operate , which be convenient not only when travel but in case the electricity go out at home and you need a functional clock . it have a protective cover so the clock face will not get scratch during travel - say cover double as a stand for the clock . the clock not only show the time -lrb- you have a choice of a twelve hour or twenty-four hour format -rrb- , but the date -lrb- date and month , not include year or day of the week -rrb- . the number be easy to read , even for someone as nearsighted as I be . there be also a backlight that activate for approximately five seconds and then automatically shut off . there be also a alarm feature ; a snooze button -lrb- this shut off the alarm for five minute and then it automatically sound again -rrb- ; and a nap timer which you can set in fifteen minute increment for up to four hour of nap time . all of the alarm feature be loud , but not annoyingly so . unlike other reviewer , my clock have keep perfect time and have not gain any minute after over a month of usage . while I really like the Elgin Travel Alarm clock and use it all the time -lrb- even when not travel -rrb- , there be a couple of thing that I do not like about it . the button to unlock the mechanism to set the alarm , time , and calendar be all on one side and it be a bit tricky to use they . the snooze alarm and backlight be activate by the same button - you press the left side to activate the snooze alarm and the right side to activate the light - and on several occasion I have wake up in the middle of the night and go to activate the light to see what time it be only to inadvertently activate the snooze alarm instead . on those occasion I have have to turn on a light to figure out how to deactivate the snooze alarm -lrb- which be not all that easy to do . -rrb- also , you have to be very careful to make sure the door to the battery compartment be on tight . I accidentally knock the clock to the floor one night , dislodge the door , and the clock start make a grate beep noise until I figure out how to latch the door properly - not a fun thing at 3:00 in the morning ! all in all , I really like and get a lot of use out of the Elgin Travel Alarm clock . +793 AlarmClock POS 5 light weight , easy to set and read and well make . glad that I purchase it . +114 AlarmClock NEG 1 I be so pleased by the appearance of the clock when it first arrive . but within the first 24 hour , the sweep second-hand have break off , and within 48 hour it no longer work at all . I try play around with the battery placement after read other review , but I get nothing . it look great , but it be very shoddily make . I would return it but I throw out the packaging . I would not purchase it again . +907 AlarmClock POS 4 there be few analog plug-in clock available these day , so I be delighted to find this one . not only do it function well , but I love the design . the pre-alarm tone light flash be cool , though it rarely wake I if I be in deep sleep . +614 AlarmClock POS 5 buy this for keepsake and they be very nice indeed . I pay more for the Darth Vader from Toys R Us -lrb- do not ask I why -rrb- and on hindsight , I guess I should have check Amazon before make any purchase in future . this be very nice and definitely a must keep for star war fan . I be wait for Amazon to stock up again as the other be sell it too expensive now that Lego be out of stock too . +382 AlarmClock NEG 2 I think the idea be fabulous so I get it for my daughter for Christmas . she be 15 and have hate it since the moment she open the gift . she refuse to use it and think it be extremely ugly . update-my hearing impaired sister have the clock now and she use the vibrate extension under she pillow and it actually wake she up every morning without wake up the rest of the household . +579 AlarmClock POS 4 I order the Identiflyer singing Alarm clock after read the customer review which be very informative and mostly favorable about the clock . the first clock have to be return to the supplier . bird sing , but no time dial display . call the company and they send a new clock in 2 day . happy to report : bird be singing and can now see the time of day . very satisfy with excellent service . +392 AlarmClock NEG 2 I wish I could have shop for this kind of item in person so you could see how big , how bright , generally how it work . the light itself do not wake you . the beeping alarm -lrb- or radio -rrb- wake you . in no way should this product be advertise as `` a exciting new way to start the day . '' the total effect of this item be when you wake up to you alarm , there be a low watt bedside light on in you dark room . that be it . Ok , so you do not sense the light come on because it be gradual ... but the end result be not impressive . even at the peak of the `` sunrise , '' it do not light up the room or make you believe you be wake up to light . do not seem like the technology in this product be complex enough to warrant the price . I buy a timer for my bedside lamp for $ 5.99 at my local hardware and will see how it compare . on the plus side , shipping be speedy and it arrive ahead of schedule . I buy it through amazon.com so I could possibly read review and have some confidence about ease of return . Amazon 's list price , new , be $ 77 compare to the Soleil website 's listing of $ 165 , which be a laughable price point for what this be . +152 AlarmClock POS 5 I can really only think of one reason that make this Timex Solar Powered Radio Controlled atomic Alark clock worth invest - the fact it be solar power which mean whenever the electric go out -lrb- which happen frequently in the summertime thanks to lightning storm activity -rrb- you do not have to worry about you wake up time be disrupt or delay - thanks to battery , the alarm will go off anyway . the radio be alright but nothing flashy or distinct , and the clock itself be so light that it can fall off the shelf easily . be careful when handle it . +81 AlarmClock NEG 1 I get this clock because the alarm sound be call chime , cathedral bell , and something else I can not recall , but it turn out they be all very annoying . I really want a zen clock that wake you up with a actual chime but could not afford it . I think this might be a nice replacement . I have be very disappointed . as other mention , the nature sound be way too loud and can not be adjust . I have not use that feature since the first week I buy it . I be now in the market for a new clock . the alarm sound be drive I crazy ! +874 AlarmClock NEG 2 the design of the display be great , I like how you can go both back and forth through the sound , without have to cycle through they all , and it come with a lot of sound -lrb- though some I can not see anyone want to sleep to -rrb- . the date and time be easy to set . I do not use the alarm function , as I prefer to use my cell phone alarm , so I can not speak to the functionality of that . some other review have make comment about the shortness of the track before repeat , but it be not something I notice too much . I end up return it after two day . the biggest problem for I be this low hum that emanate from it through any sound , and I find it really distract , because I be listen to the buzz hum more than the sound -lrb- ebb Tide -rrb- . I look up some review , and find other people with the same issue , which apparently turn out to be a cheap power supply cause the speaker to vibrate inappropriately -lrb- or something , I do not exactly understand the concept -rrb- . Learning that , I realize it be a design flaw , and not my unit , so I drop the idea of just exchange it . the other problem I have with it , though by itself it be not enough to make I want to return it , be the lack of real volume control . you have loud , louder , loudest , blow you ear drum , and 11 . the lowest setting -lrb- 1 -rrb- be barely tolerable for I on most sound , and utterly unacceptable on other . have I decide to keep it , I would have relocate it to the other end of the room . I end up replace it with sound Oasis S-650-01 Sleep Sound therapy System I only just get it today , so I have no review of it yet , but I can tell you there be no annoying audio buzz . also , some store will price match with Amazon if you print out the page , so I actually get it for less than the Amazon price . +545 AlarmClock POS 4 purchase the clock a few month ago , and after play with it for 30 min . figure out how to set the clock from 12 hr to 24 hr , alarm clock time , turn the alarm on\/off , and change the temperature from centigrade to farenheight and vice versa . also , the sd option under the setting that lool like : -- sd be where you adjust the display to stay on all the time vs. clap it on . ignore review that say it be not possible to constantly keep the screen display on . if they have take the time to figure it out instead of give bad review , they would have save themselves some grief . the cube clock measure approx . 3in x 3in x 3in . it be small , however after watch the price for a few day , I purchase it for $ 5 with a shipping cost of $ 3 or so . so , if you want it for a cheaper price be patient . if you want it then and now for cheap , that be you problem . the only downside I see with this product be more likely a manufacturer defect and user error . I buy some cheap alkaline battery for it -- since it be cheaper to buy it without the dc 6v charger -- and after a few day of use , the display be random and no longer display the time . take the battery out and reinsert they , a few hour later it do the same thing . I replace the battery with some non-alkalie , higher quality duracell after a few day without use . this seem to work for a day , however it have the same display issue the next day and be leak battery acid . the instruction it come with be Chinglish at best so I throw they out a while ago . however , the device be likely not compatable with alkaline battery , so I 'll take that as fault on my behalf . give this clock 4 star , for good design , it do function , price , and ease of use . it lose one star to the lack of readability of the instruction and the fact that I have to throw it out . however , I be already plan on buy the larger wooden led clock as a replacement . needless to say I would buy it again . +72 AlarmClock POS 5 Radio work great and phone be clear as a bell . clock programming be simple and intuitive . I especially like the ringer on the phone . Plays a simple melody that I can not get out of my head . +672 AlarmClock POS 5 we purchase this clock for when we need to reset the alarm for one day , rather than go through the process of reset the clock radio , which be very complicate . the clock be perfect for we need and work well . we also like the battery operation so we do not have to plug another item in the wall . would highly recommend it . +620 AlarmClock POS 5 Retraction from 1\/11\/2011 . I write a sassy report about return on a malfunction clock I purchase . after simply navigate `` my Amazon Account '' , I learn how simple it really be to return a item . I regret be quick to comment . I be a first time buyer . +836 AlarmClock NEU 3 if you want huge number , this be the biggest there be . the 2 1\/2 '' number be easy to read from across the room , but that do not mean you 'll be able to read it with you glass off . the display dimmer do dim it down to a acceptable level for sleep . the alarm be loud enough if you be not a super sound sleeper . the button be easy enough to use . the overall feel of the clock be cheap and plasticy . the tilt back be loose and feel really flimsy . the AM\/PM light on mine flick until I give it a smack . the description do not list the dimension , but it be big : 8 1\/2 '' W x 5 1\/2 '' h x 3 1\/2 '' d I be not delighted with it and may try a different clock . +307 AlarmClock NEG 1 I need a small clock for my bathroom so I could keep track of the time in the morning while I put my makeup on . and this nice look little clock be perfectly fine for about 3 month . then I notice that I always happen to look at the clock when it be 8:32 . I think that be a pretty funny coincidence until I realize that the clock be just stick at 8:32 . you can see that it be try - the second hand attempt to keep tick , but something be hold it back ... fear ? anxiety ? well , whatever the reason , this little clock just will not get go . and apparently I can not return it . do not buy it . save yourself the aggravation and the possibility of be extremely late for work . +507 AlarmClock POS 5 I be take a upcoming exam and need a clock that help I on time control . when I receive it , it be much bigger than I think , but it be not necessary a bad thing . it be easier for I to spot it wherever I put it on the desk . what I like this clock the best be that it be silent . you do not hear the second hand movement like most other quartz clock do . I also like other feature of this clock , like it glow in the dark , and progress alarm sound , etc. . plus the price be very affordable . +31 AlarmClock NEG 1 a travel night alarm clock that you can not see the time at night . who think of these thing ? the view light be so dim that you can not see the time at night . if that be not a problem , then the clock be ok . logically , this be a NIGHT clock , so view the time at night should be a major functional feature . +36 AlarmClock POS 5 I like a travel alarm you can see in the dark , and the Snooze button accomplish this when you wake up in the middle of the night , yet turn off to let you sleep in the dark . it be a nice small size and compact to carry . +243 AlarmClock NEU 3 like some of the other reviewer , I too notice a very short sound loop . on most of the option it be annoying and not relaxing . but a few of the sound like the surf one , you can not notice it as much . also , there be complaint about the brightness of the lcd . I do not find that too bad . it be like have a soft blue nightlight . all in all , it be pretty good . the two alarm option be nice , the sound of a few of the track be decent , and it totally mask all the noise around I . so , I would recommend it if you can fine one sound track that be to you liking . +421 AlarmClock POS 5 I purchase this for my daughter go off to college . she have never be able to wake up to a `` normal '' alarm clock . she be a extremely heavy sleeper but the shaker and incredibly loud alarm always wake she up . I do not think she be ever late to class . she even have friend order they once they hear hers . she take it overseas with she , plug it in and `` fry '' it due to the different wattage . I immediately purchase another one when she return to the US . one of the best `` off to college '' purchase we make ! +228 AlarmClock NEG 1 I do not know why this say that it be so loud ... it really be not . I be kind of disappointed . I buy it for a friend who be a deep sleeper , and be hope to wake the dead with the sound , but the alarm my husband buy at Wal Mart for $ 9.99 be about 3x louder . I think the only reason someone would want this be for the bed shaker attachment ... but definitely not the alarm tone ... it be annoy ... but not too loud . I think my phone ring louder than this . +861 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock be originally receive -lrb- several year ago -rrb- in unacceptable condition . the seller be notify by email , and before they would even receive it back , a new one be deliver to I . this be what customer service be suppose to be ; namely , a. sincere and thoughtful apology follow by first rate corrective action . the clock , in the intervene four year , have work properly . it be quiet . it keep time accurately . it be a faithful reproduction of the period seek . it be easy to see in the dark ... and easy to read from a distance . a great product ... back by outstanding customer service agent . I fully intend to execute repeat business within the year ... which hopefully indicate my highest degree of satisfaction . +159 AlarmClock NEU 3 this be a nice economical alarm clock good for travel . the alarm give a gradual increase beeping sound and go for about one minute . it do shut off on its own so if you be a deep sleeper this alarm might not be for you . my recommendation be to buy extra battery immediately . I place the battery in backwards so that it would not die out when I go on trip and upon go on my first business trip the battery be dead . so much for the alarm clock . when not in use my recommendation be to take the battery out . +512 AlarmClock NEU 3 negative : it would be nice if the display would turn off . even on the lowest setting it light up the room . negative : the Oceanside sound loop too quickly . it be one wave over and over . you can actually hear where it start again and sound more like a skip record . I purchase it for this sound and think it would be of better quality . there be no attempt to even sound random or mixed . after a couple of night it be more like listen to a dog chew on itself . positive : I like the look and feel of the design . most of the other sound be pretty good but not the sound I really want to drift off into sleep with . I 'll try a few more sound but believe this will be on my return list this winter . +863 AlarmClock POS 4 I have be use this for over a year , and it be go with I everywhere this past year -- California , Illinois , Brazil ... it be small enough so that it do not take up so much space , which be heavenly since I be still in the dorm . I definitely recommend this travel alarm clock for everyone ! only thing to note -- you have to constantly turn the alarm on and off , so make sure you remember to turn the alarm back on every morning ... otherwise it will not wake you up the next morning ! +331 AlarmClock NEU 3 I be look for a alarm clock that 1 -rrb- I can read without my contact , 2 -rrb- have a snooze alarm , and 3 -rrb- do not have a loud , jarring alarm . I think , after listen to several in the store , that this be the one ; wrong ! I set it for `` ocean , '' and be awaken by a seagull scream and tsunami wave crash . my cat leap off the bed , and I later discover that the alarm have -- literally -- scared the ____ out of she ! needless to say , I be return the alarm ; that be a little too much `` nature '' for I ! +597 AlarmClock POS 5 this Sonic Boom Sweetheart alarm clock be great ! I usually sleep soundly and have a problem hear the alarm . I have be search for year for one that I can depend on to wake I up everyday . this be it ! if the very very loud alarm do not wake you , the vibrator will ... just put it under you mattress pad and it will wake you every time . the brightness of the number , the type of sound the alarm make and the volume of the alarm can all be adjust . also , you can choose between alarm only , vibrator only or alarm\/vibrator combination ... it be up to you . and , of course , there be a snooze button that be easy to access . +667 AlarmClock POS 5 nice size . sit on the narrow nightstand in we rv . close for easy storage \/ packing . hit the snooze button to light up the time display during the night . +65 AlarmClock NEG 2 I have try live with this alarm clock for 4 month . I can not . in fact , I have just order a new alarm clock to replace it , because I can not stand it anymore . this be why : 1 . no radio . you have to wake up to its preprogrammed `` relaxing '' sound . 2 . many of the sound track be on a noticeable loop , especially the `` highway '' and `` wind chime '' one . 3 . the ambient light be SO bright , even when it be on the `` dimmer '' mode . it be so intense in a darkened room that I have to buy some tinted tape to put over the lead number , just so I could sleep at night . -lrb- I be one of those people that be highly sensitive to ambient light in my room at night . probably more so than other -rrb- . I also notice that the ambient light seep out of the seam of the plastic on the top and back . 4 . even on the quietest setting , it be still too loud for I to fall asleep to . I have to put duct tape over the speaker to make it quieter . 5 . once you set you sound and volume level to fall asleep to , you have to wake up to that sound level , too . for example , I may want to fall asleep to the gentle sound of `` rainforest '' on Level 1 -lrb- nice and gentle sound lull I to sleep -rrb- . well , my only choice be to wake up to a select sound on level 1 as well - which be WAY too quiet to rouse I from sleep ! the only other option be to select `` buzzer '' which I hate . -lrb- I do not do buzzer alarm - much too aggressive way to wake up . -rrb- in short , I do not recommend this clock as a alarm . it would be great in a office as a quiet background noise maker . but then , why would you pay $ 30 + for that , when you can buy something much cheaper that do the same thing ?? I wish I would have have the option to return it , but I do not buy it directly from sharper image ; and frankly , I be determine to enjoy this fancy alarm clock . one and only positive : very easy to set the clock time and alarm time . bottom line : not recommend . +480 AlarmClock POS 4 I purchase this clock not for the alarm but for a clock I keep above the tv set . since it be a radio control clock it be very accurate . the only complaint I have be that the lead display be very bright even on the low setting . I have no trouble get the signal from Fort Collins even though I live in North West Oregon . +445 AlarmClock NEG 1 a horrible , useless clock . there be no light , so you can not read the damn thing when you wake in the middle of the night , and the cheap plastic frame break the first time I use it . I would return it for a refund , but for ten buck , I 'll just toss it and post this review . do not waste you money . if I be Elgin , I would be ashamed . I certainly will buy any Elgin product after be rip off like this . +460 AlarmClock POS 5 I love the look of this clock and it keep perfect time . it sit on my computer desk and I can see that big ol light up dial from across the room . I have never use the alarm function so I can not comment on that ... +561 AlarmClock POS 5 I buy this for my child to use at camp and while travel . it be so easy and convenient that she be also use it at home and have take responsibility for be on time . +681 AlarmClock NEU 3 I have some positive thing to say about this clock , but it have one `` glaring '' problem . I have have it less than a year , but my next trip will probably be the last I can squeeze out of it . I 'll be look to another brand to replace it . even fresh out of the box , the light be so weak as to be useless . in full dark , you can barely see the side of the screen . one of the most important feature in a travel alarm for I be to see what time it be in the middle of the night , without fumble for the hotel lamp . I be constantly replace travel alarm because the light burn out . this one be weak from the start and I believe it be go further downhill . as for warranty , the fee westclox charge for warranty service and shipping be greater than what I pay for the clock . that be say , if you can get over the light , this clock do well to correct some common travel alarm flaw : sturdy folding case will take reasonable abuse and drop . alarm set go to the left and time set to the right on a snug button - much harder to accidentally reset the time than on other model . alarm on\/off clearly indicate on screen , with a large icon . snug slider button for the alarm make it hard to accidentally turn it on -lrb- but you have to work to turn it off , too -rrb- . Easy to see if you time\/or alarm be in AM or PM . I just can not give it a higher rating when the light be so poor . \*\* note - the alarm be loud and increase in tempo if you do not shut it off right away . other in the room may be unhappy if you be a slow riser . +320 AlarmClock POS 5 I have have this alarm clock for more than 15 year . frankly , I can not recall when I buy it but it be two move and one other state ago . the light be finally wear out . it be too dim to see the number at night . I have have to replace the battery a couple of time over the many year . it work great . the alarm be not too loud or soft . it have a snooze feature . it fold up for travel or sit on a nightstand . currently , I have it velcroe to the bedroom wall by the bed with those command velcro strip . -lrb- pardon my use of brand name which might not be accurate . -rrb- I would recommend this alarm clock . it be ridiculously reliable . +952 AlarmClock NEG 2 I buy this clock several month ago and love it . it be the best thing ever . then one morning everything I have plug into the same outlet go out . by smell I finally find that the clock have short out and I spend hour fix everything . +918 AlarmClock NEG 1 this clock never work . the light do not come on and the alarm make no sound . this be a piece of junk . I be surprised Amazon would sell this clock it be such poor quality . +789 AlarmClock POS 5 I love this little alarm clock ! it be small , cordless and sleek . the `` up '' button for set the time do not work , but the `` down '' button do so it do not bother I - otherwise , it work perfectly . +373 AlarmClock POS 5 I purchase this travel alarm clock 12 year ago and I recently drop it on the floor and break it . this be a great travel alarm clock . it be loud enough for the next room to hear the alarm clock . it be great for travel because it be small enough . because I purchase this alarm clock 12 year ago and I recently break it , I do not think I would find the same one again . it be not expensive that if you drop it and break you can buy another one . +548 AlarmClock POS 5 it be exactly what my husband be want . nice big number that be very easy to read at night yet do not take up much room on the bedside table . I would recommend it to anyone . it also arrive much quicker then I have expect . great service . +959 AlarmClock NEU 3 this may be a fine alarm clock ; I have not get it out of the packaging . I order this clock because I could read it from a distance in my office and because I like the cobalt blue color . I have receive the clock twice , and both time it be black . again , the other review suggest that the clock work well -lrb- certainly for the price -rrb- . but if you care about the color -lrb- and like the blue in the photo -rrb- , you be likely to be disappoint . I be . +930 AlarmClock NEG 1 these clock be very nice look , but they function leave a lot to be desire . I purchase two of these . one in blue and one in yellow . so far the blue clock be still work . the yellow clock have to be return . quality control be abysmal . the dial light in the yellow clock randomly stop working . I buy this clock to use at night for a easy way to check the time in the dark . when the dial illumination fail , the only way to restore it be to unplug the clock then plug it back in again . this restore the dial light until the next time it fail . turn the dial light switch off and on again do not restore the light . the problem get progressively worse . after the dial light be restore by pull the plug , it would take several day before it fail again . now it can fail again in a matter of minute . very poor quality . +198 AlarmClock NEU 3 I buy one of these first , like it a lot -lrb- 5 star I would give it -rrb- , so I turn around and buy a second one . the night sensitive back light do not come on on this one . 1 star for that . one out of two not bad for the price . but the quality control be shaky , probably due to the price . +136 AlarmClock POS 5 I find this Brookstone Alarm clock to do exactly what it be suppose to do with easy to understand , logical functionality , in a easy to look-at , no-nonsense design . the clock measure a space-efficient 6 '' w x 2-3\/4 '' d x 3 '' h , so it have a small footprint and rubber foot to help keep it in place on it surface , but this be all clock , with no waste space with `` gingerbread '' aesthestic ; the time be show in large 1 '' h x 3 ' w easy-to-view digital display , with a full-length snooze bar give you a extra 6 minute before the alarm sound again . it be very simple to set either of the two wake-up setting independently , change the several pleasant back-light brightness setting and turn-on or turn-off either of the two independent alarm . it have a battery back-up should there be a loss of ac power , so not to worry about reset the time or you alarm ; they will not be lose . it have a factory-set default time for the Eastern US , but be easily adjust to suit other time zone . it be not a a `` automatically correct atomic time-set '' clock and I do not care . the factory-installed battery be pre-set , and be user adjustable should the need arise . I really like the alarm on-off button , which be quite visible in the alarm-on -lrb- up -rrb- position , or descretely flush in the turned-off -lrb- down -rrb- position . I do not have to `` hunt '' for the button when I awake by the intelligently design progressive alarm . this clock be exactly what I want . no more , no less . I plan to purchse another as a gift to friend , with the hope it will be place in the guest room that I occasionaly use . all-in-all , I find this alarm clock very comfortable to use . +240 AlarmClock POS 5 first let I say I only write review if something be really worth the time or it be so horrible I would hate to see anyone else waste they money . this alarm clock be absolutely wonderful . my oldest daughter absolutely hate get up in the morning , and try to get she up be no picnic . we try other alarm clock , but they often shut off after a certain amount of time or be not loud enough -lrb- read : she sleep right through they -rrb- . not this one . we have it on a low volume and it be still loud enough to spring she out of bed and into the bathroom each morning . -lrb- my husband be outside one morning and could hear it go off ; I have be all over the house and have hear it go off -rrb- . it sound a little like a fire siren . another nice feature be that it automatically reset itself for the next morning when you turn it off . no have to remember to set it each night . we have have this for several week now and it have really improve we morning . the cost seem a little high ... but if you have a kid to get up in the morning who will not get up , this price be absolutely worth it . +3 AlarmClock POS 5 order it for my wife to use at home and when travel . it be perfect for who want a travel alarm that be easy and convenient to use . +595 AlarmClock NEG 1 the idea of how the product should work be good . however the product come defective , there be no sound available from the speaker . neither , the alarm or the radio would produce any sound . the product be no longer available from Amazon . still wait for refund . +977 AlarmClock NEG 1 what good be a clock radio that do not keep time . this piece of junk be recieve on Friday and send back on Monday . during the weekend , I set the time three time and within 5 to 6 hour the clock revert to the initial setting , and the radio preset be also lose . +383 AlarmClock POS 5 this be definitely a must for any Star Wars fan . a blown-up version of the Lego Star Wars mini-fig , with a bonus digital clock . very neat collectible or display piece . bought my first and when I receive it , love it so much , I come back and buy the Vader version too . +627 AlarmClock POS 5 one of a variety of Star Wars character Lego clock that I have purchase ... the Stormtrooper be pretty cool . Press he head down and the clock backlight light up the lcd screen . this be a yellow color and a bit disappointing . the armor be not quite right in color - it could be a bit whiter . my wife do not agree with I , she prefer the off white color - and my mate reckon the trooper must be base at Tatooine . still , the trooper be pretty cool and a conversation starter . +449 AlarmClock NEG 1 I order this because it want the earphone jack as state in the product description . when I receive the product , no earphone jack as state on the box . I call the company and be tell they have be aware of the problem and have not really do anything about it . sorry for the inconvenience try send it back . what a rip off . when a company do not stand behind its product . +244 AlarmClock POS 5 I love it . I like to know accurate time . flash dot all the time , I do not mind it , but my wife say it would get on she nerve . display time as soon as I plug it in . +972 AlarmClock POS 4 I purchase this for my husband for Father 's day and he really enjoy it . it be very sturdy ; Darth can either stand or sit . he head be the snooze button for the alarm -lrb- you push it down -rrb- . the alarm let off beep that gradually get faster as it go off . it be not a super loud alarm -lrb- as some be -rrb- , so if you be a heavy sleeper this would not be a good choice . the clock and alarm be very basic , but I would expect most who be buy this be not do so for advanced technology . ; -rrb- +785 AlarmClock POS 4 love the sound variety . some be a little wacko , however . who want to listen to the sound of the city when tryingto fall asleep ? +962 AlarmClock POS 4 what I like best about the Elgin travel alarm clock be the large , blue back-lit display . the slide button to set the alarm and time be a little tricky to use because they tend to stick a little , but it be not enough of a problem for I to give it a lower rating . the exterior be hard plastic and I would have like it to feel a little sturdier , but it keep the weight and price down . all in all not a bad product . +135 AlarmClock NEG 1 constant hum that increase as the backlight setting be increase , but even at the lowest of the three backlight setting , the hum be too loud it do not vary with the volume setting . in any case , at my bedside at night , this be the last thing I need , as it prevent I from sleep I agree with other who write the audio loop be not of sufficient quality . it would cost the manufacturer only a bit more to install higher capacity memory circuit to provide more decent audio . Iregret have buy this product . +370 AlarmClock NEG 1 I be hope it work ... I be not that demand . it do not work and still doesnt . it be just too cheaply make +676 AlarmClock POS 4 too bad there be no option to keep it on !!! the time only display for a few seconds after you clap\/make noise and then it be off . you might be applaud a lot if you be often interested in the time . otherwise , I love the way it look and its size be perfect for my desk space . +309 AlarmClock POS 5 SOOOOO EASY to USE !!!! finally a product that be user friendly !!! even get it out of the package be easy ... set the time & alarm be sooooo simple ! it stand up well - read well - perfect size - alarm be just great !!! highly recommend 5 star !!! this be just what I want !!!! +701 AlarmClock NEG 2 I have this same bird clock for many year . when it accidentally fall off my nightstand and break , I decide to buy the exact same clock since I be so pleased with it in the past . however , it be not the same , and not just in appearance . this one , though it look similar , be more cheaply make . compare in weight , it be must lighter and more `` plastic '' look . the case on my previous bird clock be a silver color , whereby this one be a dark gray lightweight plastic . to advance time or alarm time , you can not just hold the button down to scroll to the desire hour or minute . you now have to hit the button individually for each hour or minute desire . so the price have remain the same , but the quality have deteriorate . +177 AlarmClock POS 5 only have it run for a month so only TIME will tell if it be reliability be as good as it look . but it sure be a nice look clock . +466 AlarmClock POS 4 the Insta-Set feature of these clock be a little misleading . they be not atomic clock . they do not recieve a external signal to set the clock automatically like a atomic clock . like any other digital clock these clock gain or lose a few seconds a year . they have to be set occasionally . Google `` reset equity insta-set clock '' for instruction . basically , you hold down the DST or Alarm Set button for five seconds . you can then set the hour , minute , month , day ... like other digital clock . the documentation never say specifically what Insta-Set mean . apparently be just mean the clock do not have to be reset after a power outage . it have a internal battery that hold the time until the main power come back on . other than this misleading name for the insta-set feature the clock I have work well . it be worth what it cost . +267 AlarmClock NEG 1 I be incredibly disappoint with this product . the light be not bright at all -- it be incredibly dim . in a dark room you can hardly see it . it might wake up incredibly light sleeper , but no one else . +690 AlarmClock POS 5 I read the review about this product before buy and almost do not buy it . the illumination be definately not to bright . the highest setting be bright for those who want it that way but the lowest be sufficiently low . the range of sound be great . I have a cpap and now that be not the sound I have to hear try to get to sleep . long story short , I do not usually write review but this machine be excellent . +845 AlarmClock NEG 1 Hve not try it at wakeup but can tell by testing I would sleep right through it . and I be not a real heavy sleeper . alarm only sound for about 30-45 sec . I would return but already throw away packaging not anticipate this problem . do flash red during the wakeup sound but if you asleep I do not think that be a big deal ! +289 AlarmClock NEG 2 this be suppose to be a `` sound soother '' , but at least half of the pre-programmed sound be annoy ! I purchase it for the white noise sound , but it be the most annoying setting of all . also the volume level only go down so far so that even the sound I like be too loud to be consider background noise -lrb- which be what I expect -rrb- . +430 AlarmClock POS 5 come on , it be Darth Vadar , what be not to like ? you can pound he head to get the night light to come on and better see the time . basic function but all work well so far ! he be have it for a month . really cute and he can sit or stand . `` I be you alarm clock Luke '' . I never know Darth be make in China until now . that explain a lot ! +389 AlarmClock NEU 3 the clock function as promise , and do all it be suppose to do . the only misleading thing be the photo - it look silver tone , but it be actually this ghastly gold-beige color that scream `` 1972 '' . if the color do not offend you aesthetic sensibility , this be a perfectly fine timepiece . +362 AlarmClock NEG 1 the company send a clock with a manufacturing defect . the number on the face of the clock be not in the correct position . example , the 5 be at the bottom of the clock where the 6 should be and 11 be in the 12 position . consequently , the alarm do not work due to the number be in the wrong position . I be at a loss as to why this product be even send to I when it be clearly a defective item . I be not satisfy with this item and I intend to return it . +616 AlarmClock NEG 1 I have to give this one star in order to write the review ... I think this would be a really nice clock for bedside base on the listing and review ... when it arrive I follow exact simple instruction , and it never so much as tick a tock . send it right back , bitterly disappointed . Phooey on this item ! +141 AlarmClock POS 4 the price be right on this clock . the size be perfect , especially when fold for packing and take with . it sit at a good angle when it be open , and the backlight be sufficient . the alarm tone be sufficient to wake you up be , of course , by personal opinion . it work for I , but it might not work for you if you be a heavy sleeper . I would also knock the battery choice ... coin type versus a aa or aaa . I worry how quickly that coin battery will die since I be a habitual `` 3 time snoozer . '' I order a card of 10 battery , so I would have plenty on hand just in case . +879 AlarmClock POS 5 I just buy this for a friend . I have the white version of this clock , and this cheap , simple little thing have be wake I up on time for the past 14 year . it be still tick . could not tellyou when last I change the battery . the battery last pretty long before it die . I change it before that happene . anyways , it be the best and the cheapest . I can not understand the digital stuff , and I do not trust they . I will stick to the basics . simplicity equal less headache ! +429 AlarmClock NEU 3 this be a Christmas gift to my husband who be in love with Darth Vader and Legos . this be the perfect combination of the two for he . we have be look for a alarm clock for he and I come across this clock . it be a great surprise for he on Christmas morning . I only wish the alarm be a little louder for he to wake up . +44 AlarmClock POS 5 if you be a bird lover -lrb- and even if you be not , but just want a bit of `` back to nature '' in you urban world -rrb- , this alarm clock be for you ! it be easy to set , easy to read and yes , easy to snooze if need be . I have it right next to my pillow , volume set on the lower side and it be a soft , melodic way to greet the day . I be a light sleeper , so I do not often hear it go past the first or second bird sound . but if you need a bigger nudge , the persistent rooster at the end do the trick . it be annoying , actually , but be not that the point ? another good point - you can get other bird sound card if you get bore with the one it come with . it be also a unique gift for those who seem to have everything - except this clock ! lightweight , battery easy to change , do not take a genius or a screwdriver to get it go . highly recommend ! +368 AlarmClock NEG 2 I might have get a defective unit but there be a audible hum that get louder as the backlight be turn brighter . not acceptable . nice look unit with some decent feature but this one be get return ! +762 AlarmClock POS 5 live in the country , we lose power a lot , so ac-powered alarm clock simply be not a option for I . I have use a Variety of 100 % battery operate alarm clock in the past , and this might be my favorite so far . its simple : a analog clock face that light up nicely -lrb- but not too brightly -rrb- when the button on the top be press . the alarm be easy to set , easy to turn on and off , and hard to sleep through . the tone be almost pleasant -lrb- at first -rrb- wake you up without a shock ... but it get steadily louder and faster so it be almost impossible to sleep through . I have not use it long enough to rate battery life , but power by 1 c battery it should last for a quite a while -lrb- my old clock run on two AAA 's and last almost a year - let 's face it , alarm clock be not exactly demand -rrb- . my only concern be that the unit be plastic . my cat like to hockey-puck thing off of my bedside table -lrb- especially if he want he breakfast , i.e. , almost every morning -rrb- . that be why my old clock be a metal clock -- the kind with the real bell inside . however , it be survive be knock to the ground several time so far with no visible damage , so despite a somewhat flimsy feel this clock be pretty sturdy . +978 AlarmClock POS 4 I have have this alarm clock for several year . I love it . after read several other review , I have to agree that it be smaller and less bright than you might expect\/want . it will not light up a whole room . but I have find that if I keep it on a nightstand close to my face , it work perfectly . +974 AlarmClock NEG 1 I buy this clock because it be cheap , and realize the issue below : - do not have a indication on the main screen of what the alarm time be set to . you need to press a button and go back a forth to see that infomation . - beep everytime you press a button , so it disturb a partner if you be try to check the time during the night . - in the dark , very easy to screwup the time setting by press the wrong button -lrb- lower leave one -rrb- , that change the time zone . - do not have a easy to access light or alarm off button , to be access in the dark . I 'll have to be back shop for a better clock and spebd few more buck . +254 AlarmClock POS 4 so it be a blank cube that look pretty good . then you tap it or clap you hand , and the time show up for 10 seconds , then it be blank again . inconvenient at night when you have someone sleep next to you for obvious reason . great present for annoying people who like to walk around clap they hand or singing song while you be try to watch the x-files , it 'll bring they hour of enjoyment . kinda boring , do not work as a excavator or a nuclear launchpad . seem cooler when i be buy it , but bonus point for be innovative and feng shuus . +76 AlarmClock POS 4 for the money this little clock be a pretty good buy . the number be large and easy to read , the time and alarm be straightforward and easy to set , the alarm start out softly and get louder until you push the snooze or turn it off , and the dial light up at night nicely when you push the snooze button . it also unfold to create a stand for the clock . it be compact when fold for travel , but the cover be cheaply make . I be not sure how well it will hold up under abuse , I would feel compel to wrap it in a sock or something in a suitcase . all in all for the money it have everything I need for a travel alarm clock and it keep good time so far , too . +334 AlarmClock POS 4 this be a very small function clock . I have have mine for year . pro : it be silent . it do not have shine light Battery operate . compact and neat inexpensive con : the light be useless so you cant tell time in the dark the switch on the left side be too similar to the alarm switch . when you wake up and be fumble to turn off the alarm , you can accidentally hit the time set switch instead . +500 AlarmClock NEG 1 I order this clock in April . it stop work correctly in July . I expect more . the clock face -lrb- actual time -rrb- become unreadable . the number dim to the point that they be unreadable . I try to change the battery but no joy . +532 AlarmClock POS 4 this clock have several nice feature include a variable back-lighting feature . the brightness of the back-light be control by a dial located on the rear of the clock . one drawback be the Alarm On\/Off switch . it be not easy to locate early in the morning . the switch be recess into the right side of the clock and be a slide type , not a toggle switch . the product write-up say it use a ` c ' battery however the one I receive from Amazon use two ` aa ' battery -lrb- also not include -rrb- . it may be a little too large to serve as a convenient travel alarm clock . +34 AlarmClock POS 4 I buy this because I want a small , maintenance-free alarm clock . it be not as small as I would like -lrb- it be about the size of two VHS tape -rrb- . it claim to be solar power but it come with a cr123a lithium `` back-up '' battery . the manual read , `` this battery should provide a back up power supply to you clock for up to 8 year or even longer . '' I have not have it long so I can not verify that claim . it do set the time automatically , which be cool . +163 AlarmClock POS 4 I buy this clock for my parent and they love it . its feature be that it have a beeping alarm that gradually get louder , a adjustable green backlight , a blue light that illuminate when you push down on the snooze button , and a simple wind operation for the hour\/minute hand and the alarm . it take 3 aa battery . the only problem with ours be that after a few hour of work normally , the hour\/minute hand freeze up . we could still turn the knob to set the time , but then the hand would not turn automatically . we send it back for a new one , so hopefully that one will be fine . +829 AlarmClock NEG 1 I unpack the clock right after receive it and although I read the brief instruction very carefully , I could not make the clock to ANYTHING accord to the step outline in the instruction . furthermore , I leave it overnight next to my window and when I get back to it the next morning , it have still not adjust the time automatically . overall , I could not use it either as a automatic or manually adjust clock . piece of junk ! my wife have another Timex alarm clock model , that in all honesty be not much better and should have be a warning . my old clock be a Seiko , and work nicely for 4 year until my 3 year old bang it against the floor . +668 AlarmClock POS 5 this alarm clock be great because it be simple to operate , and can be set to alarm at a different time each day of the week . +283 AlarmClock POS 5 I purchase this clock for my elderly father . he love the large number . the clock set itself if there be a power outage and also automatically update during daylight savings time change . the clock can be see from across the room with ease . +842 AlarmClock POS 5 this alarm clock will give you everything you want in a alarm clock and skip the thing that make alarm clock a pain ! I think my old alarm be break so search far and wide for one I would like . before the Brookstone get here , I find that my old alarm be okay and I have inadvetantly set it incorrectly , thus the late wake-up . I be go to keep the Brookstone as a back-up ... until I try it . I be hooked and the old alarm be in a spare bedroom . what it have , be very easy to see and read display . as state in other review , you can choose the brightness . I like mine bright . it have two alarm setting and large raise button to click the alarm off and back on for the next morning . the snooze bar run across the entire width of the front of the clock so no mistake miss the snooze and hit the `` off '' . the alarm set time be on the screen so no mistake . what this model do not have be a radio . I do not want a radio . there be another Brookstone model if you prefer a radio with you alarm . this clock be a little pricey compare to many other model you can purchase , BUT , this be the one you want if you be tire of the tiny little button that clutter many of the other clock and the possibility of set the `` radio '' wake-up only to discover that the unit be not set on a channel and you awake , finally , to static . this be user friendly and straight on . the compartment for change setting be easy to get to -lrb- on the back of the clock -rrb- cover with a little panel , but there be no chance you will inadvertently mess you setting up . you have to easily remove the push style back plate to access the time zone and auto daylight save time setting . there be nothing about it that I do not like . I would give it to a friend and give my old clock to someone who be not so much my friend !! +502 AlarmClock POS 5 Geneva clock Co 4584E Elgin Electric Alarm clock fold flat for wall mount . can read without glass , unlike 1.8 '' clock I own . +831 AlarmClock POS 4 this be a great little clock . I have have three , give away one `` new in the Box , '' or `` NIB , '' be order another to have on hand when the spirit move I to pass it on to someone . I be kind of a time freak , so I have get one in my bathroom , another in the family room , and a much larger `` atomic '' wall clock right over my pc . ok , its not atomic . it be digital , and it receive radio signal from a US station that tell it what time it be . you never need to set it . could not set it if you try . once you have feed it a aa battery , set it up accord to the instruction , and wait several hour some evening , it will display the exact time , to the minute . if you be willing to wait up to 59 seconds , you can get the exact time to the second , when the minute display role over to the next minute . yes , you can fold it up , pack it into you baggage , and set it up at you destination . BUT , if you travel take several day , and if you destination lodging have thick wall and few window , it may not pick up a signal . take it camping ... no problem unless it rain on it , or a bear eat it . and , it pretty much have to be in the USA , although I bet part of Canada , and maybe even northern Mexico , can pick up the signal , too . bad part ? the part that make I give it only four star ? set it up be a pita . yes , the instruction be indeed print right on the clock ... on the inside of the lid , which fold back to be the underside of the base . hard to read when you be set the clock use the button on the back of the clock , and watch the display on the front of the clock . also , everything require multiple button push of specific button ... one push too few , and you do not get what you want . one push too many , and you have to start over . try to set the clock while read the instruction off of the base be a loser . oh yes , you can set it up for 12 hour time , or for Navy time : right now it be `` 22:43 '' on `` MO 9.21 '' that be 10:43 pm on Monday , September 21st , for you land lubber . the url for the clock 's instruction be cleverly print right on the back of the clock . no , not the base , the back of the clock , right on the battery door . my suggestion be to go to this url : and decide if you be sufficiently endowed with the necessary button push skill . if so , PRINT OUT the instruction and then order the clock ! its a doozy ! as for battery , I would use a common nicad aa to set it up the first tim . when that die , or be die , put in a lithium cell . that way you will only have to set it once every couple of year . +472 AlarmClock POS 5 this large display solve a problem for my husband . he roll out of bed time be 1:00 AM & with we previous bedside clock he have to find he glass to be able to check the time . not so with this one . the number be large & clear . he call it he billboard . battery backup feature be a definate plus . Problem solve ! thanks Chaney and Amazon ! +210 AlarmClock NEG 2 my wife and I live in the midwest ; in the winter the sun do not come up until well after 8:00 AM . we have a tough time get up , and think a dawn simulator might do the trick . long story short , this one do not . in fairness , I have to give this model 2 star -- but only from a ease-of-use standpoint . it be very easy to master , technically speak . but in term of functionality , this thing be a stinker . the `` dawn simulator '' only emit 96 lumen of light -lrb- less than a quarter of what be produce by a forty watt lightbulb -rrb- . my wife and I be not `` gently awaken '' by such a paltry little light -lrb- just roll away from it , and it be effectively not even there -rrb- , so we awake to the jarring sound of the buzzer every morning . the light be so weak , in fact , that it be not even enough to keep we awake ! in addition , the digital clock display be so bright that I have to fall asleep face away from it -- it actually cast shadow on the wall ! what a shame that the extra intensity could not have go into the main light ... for those with sad -lrb- or who just can not seem to wake up on winter day -rrb- , I would strongly advise you to purchase a different product . this one just do not do the trick . +14 AlarmClock NEU 3 fun idea for a clock - but he do not stand too well on he own . usually have he in the sit position so he stay on the nightstand , but then it make it difficult to see the time . +590 AlarmClock POS 5 my new Elgin bedside alarm clock look like a antique , but require no wind . you can hear the slightest tick sound , which I like . it be a no brainer to set up . the only thing I be a little disappointed with be I think it have a light dial , that maybe glow in the dark or something . to see the clock in the dark , push down on the button on top . the wording be a little misleading in that respect . otherwise I love my little clock . it hardly take up any room on my nightstand . +493 AlarmClock POS 5 the feature I have not see mention , that I love the most , be that when the alarm go off , it light up in red . so it be easy to find the clock in the dark to either hit snooze or shut off the alarm . with other alarm , I be always try to find they in the dark , knock they onto the floor , and be totally frustrated . but not with the Elgin . +438 AlarmClock POS 5 this clock be even more than I expect it to be . it be fully electric with a battery backup . the 3 type of wakeup sound be crystal clear and very interesting .

I be actually really excite about it . the fairy do not look anything like the picture . they look like mosquito . they be big and they have a dark pink -lrb- almost red -rrb- wing . the picture show little fairy in different color . otherwise I really love Aden & Anais blanket . they have a very old school yet pretty feel about they . I love that fabric look crinckly yet so elegant . I dont like fleece or heavy blanket since it might overheat the baby . I can definetly use this during summer night , just put the baby in with onesie . my baby sleep in she crib and i have blanket tuck in the side . it work great for I until she start to roll over and kick the blanket .

I like that it be battery power . my older son 's mobile require cranking , and only stay on for about 3 minute . I also like that you can turn it on by remote , maybe give yourself a few more minute before the baby see you and want out ! the only negative so far be that it do not fit well on we crib . we have a sleigh-style crib , and it will not fit on any curved surface . I have to put it on the front rail -lrb- straight -rrb- , but ours be pretty thick , so the clamp can not fit fully around the rail . it be on there , but not as well as it should be . it also pitch forward sort of awkwardly because it be not clamp right . +106 Baby POS 5 extremely fast shipping . great quality for a little tux . I love the satin detail on the button , pocket , etc. . now all I have to do be get my 2 yr old to wear it for more than 20 seconds ; -rrb- +948 Baby POS 5 great bib ! love that they be solid color and they be pretty absorbant . I say pretty absorbant because my little girl expel ridiculous amount of drool and other thing all day every day so no big can really keep up with she . but these be soft and well make . I would definitely by more ! +530 Baby POS 5 these be amazing ! they stay on every second of the day ! I have be wash they every day so we can use they ! +201 Baby POS 5 absolutly freak adorable !!! fast shipping and such a adorable outfit ! I would recommend for anyone look for a baby gift for someone in the military . it be perfect ! +469 Baby POS 4 overall I like this cover better than my Bummis cover . the fit be great and the interior gusset hold in the biggest mess . there be only two problem I have with this cover : 1 . the aplix stink . the tab be very small and start curl within a few wash even though I wash exactly as instruct and line dry . 2 . Wicks moisture through the tag . you can cut the tag out to solve this problem . +643 Baby POS 5 I love this little bib ! I buy it as a whim to go with the splat may -lrb- which be awesome ! -rrb- and I really like it . I just buy another one . the can go in the wash machine fine , do not soak through and have a little catcher bit at the bottom . also , my daughter -lrb- as of yet - 9.5 -rrb- do not pull they right off when she try . the velcro be adjustable , so my 9.5 year old and my 3 year old can both wear this and they both like it ! total side bonus - very cute ! +274 Baby POS 4 I just purchase another - as after 3 year of use it be not work anymore . my daughter favorite sound be the whale . but this new one we get do not sound at all like the old one . it sound creepy . she will not listen to the whale sound anymore , and that be the main reason I want to replace it - because she like it so much ... we be a bit sad that it have be change . what be wrong with the old one ? +890 Baby POS 4 even though it get stain whenever tomato base food get on it , it still work good . clean easily . I like it . +941 Baby POS 5 this thing be great . my son have since outgrow this , but I never review the product . the bumpy texture be great for he . he would chew on this and move it around to wherever he gum would be bother he . it be a little girly for I , but that do not stop he from use this every time he need to . +682 Baby POS 5 these be my preferred bib . they be well cut to fit nicely over the shoulder and around the neck , generous velcro allow for the grow child and a solid tie for the reluctant bib wearer . the feel of the fabric be not too plasticky in texture , the print be cute and the waterproofing be excellent quality , and they wash and dry and come out like new for year . I have have these bib through my 3 boy , and they be still in good condition . I just buy my youngest he own design for the fun of change thing up after 4 year . I highly reccomend this product ! +509 Baby POS 5 I be so happy that I buy this pump ! I have receive a Avent single electric breast pump for my baby shower , and while I be only use it for occasional pump it be fine . however , once I go back to work , I need to pump more frequently and it take a very long time to pump both breast ... at least a hour for both , longer if I want to be thorough . since I be pump at least 3 time a day , that be much more time than I could spare ! I have research the high end pump , and I be go back and forth between the Medela pump in Style Advanced , Medela Freestyle and the Ameda purely Yours Ultra . since I be live in Europe at the moment , I realize that the Ameda be difficult to find , mean that part and support would be difficult to find as well , so that be out . I really want something hands-free but I do not want to pay so much extra for it , and from the review I have read , the hands-free apparatus can be complicate to use . so I opt for the pump in style and I be really glad I do . it be super fast ! really ! I can empty both breast in less than half a hour , rather twenty minute !!! that time save really add up and I would be happy just with that alone , but there be more positive . the adjustable suction power be great because my breast no longer hurt after pump . with my Avent you could adjust the speed , but not the power -lrb- which be quite strong -rrb- , and I never realize how much my breast have ache afterwards until use the Medela . it be easy to clean and it be much lighter than I expect . people have complain about condensation in the tube , but I just keep the pump on for a few minute with only the tube attach and have not have a problem . it be also much quieter than my old pump , and my little boy sleep soundly next to I while I pump . I also solve the hands-free dilemma by cut hole in a old bra which fit too tight , first position the breast shield , then attach the connector through the hole in the bra . the tight fit be important so the shield do not get displaced as the milk fill container weigh the pump down . that work great and I do not have to spend extra money . I only wish I could get larger storage container , but the 150ml one be the only one available here , mean that I have to stop pump to empty the milk into a larger container . that be the only negative I can think of . I highly recommend this pump , it be worth the money ! I only wish I would have buy it sooner . +347 Baby POS 5 seriously think these squeeky giraffe be lace with crack . kid just love they ! I buy a larger pack at a much cheaper price on Amazon to give as baby shower gift . they be always a hit ! the giraffe have a nice vanilla send to they , and be super soft and easily washable . just be sure to plug up the hole on the stomach to avoid get water inside . that be a pain to get all out . +669 Baby POS 5 Got this in the mail and put it on my 2 month old daughter that night . she love it !! and I love it ! Super soft -lrb- get softer the more I wash it -rrb- , beautiful print , and great weight for the summer and into the fall . stain have come out of the fabric great . great quality . she like this much better than be fully swaddle . +504 Baby NEG 1 my girl love a pacifer so we think this would be great for when she be teethe , well , needless to say she be teethe and the Razbaby be far , far to big for she mouth . not sure how this have get any good review , it seem tremendously large for a 6 month old . +906 Baby POS 5 I have use this brush 3 year in a row -lrb- replace every 3 mo or so -rrb- , for both my kid -lrb- bear 18 mo apart -rrb- . this be the best brush . sure , it do not hold up for more than 3 mo or so , but no sponge do ! it be lightweight , clean my medelum baby bottle well , and easy to travel with , too . highly recommend . +305 Baby NEG 1 this basket be not a toy but a storage container for bath toy . it be make of multiple part that need to be assemble together . this design be rather flaw as it allow for accummlation of more dirt , and the piece do not fit together well -lrb- especially if warped -rrb- . I have see those basket make as one piece in the past , a nice sturdy design , easy to remove and clean . very disappoint with this one . +262 Baby POS 4 I love this little seat ! it be perfect for move around and store since it fold up . it work perfectly for a family who do not have a lot of extra space . we have have no problem with it and have enjoy use it . +812 Baby POS 4 the product itself seem to be very good quality , but the non-slip gripping material on the bottom would have ruin we leather seat in the hot south Texas climate . if the fact that the product be non-slip be in the description , I do not see it . product be return -lrb- I find out that return be very easy with Amazon - UPS pick up at my door -rrb- . +652 Baby POS 5 I first discover the HALO sleepsack with my first child and I have love it ever since ! it make swaddle so easy and I do not have to worry about my swaddle job become undo as I do with the blanket . I particularly like the Velboa material because it be so soft and keep my baby warm . just remember to fasten the velcro properly when wash so it do not catch on other thing . +741 Baby POS 4 I give this a 4 star , it be genius , but it be expensive -lrb- it be really just a t-bar strap that you could probably use you own belt , so for the price it get 4 instead of 5 star -rrb- . it work great for we to wheel around we toddler in the airport , easy to take apart during the security search , and great to carry around in you purse\/diaper bag until landing where you 'll have to do it all over again until you get to the car . could not have manage to have she Britax Marathon carseat -lrb- lug it around -rrb- w\/o this unique tool ! I love the travel toddler ! it be easy to undo and attach , it be super quick through the security line & I have no complaint except for the cost of the thing . much cheaper than other product , but for around $ 18 all you be really get be a ` t ' - strap that connect to the seat and around you carry-on luggage , which probably cost 50cent to make !! then again , it be SOOOO WORTH IT , when we travel !! if you know a friend who have one , save yourself some cash & borrow it !! +122 Baby NEU 3 these be good little bowl for my little one , but they really do not stick very well to he high chair tray . +751 Baby POS 5 this product be adorable . the lighting be perfect , not too bright . two volume setting for the music . I personally enjoy listen to the music over the moniter . it be very soothing . most favorite part , I do not realize the leaf on the mobile move up and down as well as around . I have be rock my daughter to sleep for the last four month . could not take it one more day . she fall asleep watch it and take a 3 hour nap . +275 Baby POS 4 this smock be adorable ! but it be tight on my 3 year old and he didnt want to wear it . I will keep try ! +846 Baby NEG 1 I place a order for two large halo sleepsack and two x-large one . receive the large one and they be great , however the XL Sacks be XS Sacks in XL packaging . I email the vendor twice with no response . the SleepSacks be great , but the vendor be horrible . +477 Baby POS 4 I have no issue get this to fit on my car seat like other reviewer have . I think it be a great value for the price and it help protect the seat from kid 's messy shoe . +321 Baby POS 5 I love these sleepsack . I have both the fleece and cotton version . they be a excellent , safe alternative to use blanket in the crib . blanket be not the best choice these day as they be not safe -lrb- increase sid risk -rrb- and can easily be kick off , leave baby cold and cry . these be a natural next step to use after my baby outgrow the swadde -lrb- around 4 month -rrb- . I plan to keep get larger size as my baby grow . I love this product and would suggest it to all parent and caregiver out there . +841 Baby POS 5 I be hesitant to order leg warmer as I be not sure they would be useful . now , I be a believer ! they be great on these fall day when my granddaughter , 5 month , be in a onesie , but we have the window open in the house . I also take they to restaurant for a\/c chill . these ballet slipper be cute as can be . I have launder they numerous time and they still hold they shape and softness . +880 Baby POS 4 the spoon arrive and look just like the picture . my cousin have not complain so they must be fine . my cousin would have tell I by now if they be not of good quality and defect free . +158 Baby POS 5 I love these burp cloth . the muslin be so soft and absorbent . they also have a cute design and wash easily . these burp cloth can also be use as a bib -lrb- use snap closure -rrb- . Perfect for protect baby 's cloth from spit up or drool . overall I have be very happy with all the aden + anai product I own -lrb- swaddle blanket , burpy bib , wash cloth -rrb- . +218 Baby POS 5 I get these bib for my infant son and I love they . they be well make and very cute . I would definitely recommend they to other . +811 Baby POS 5 I have for the past year and I love the Medela pump in Style Advanced . since my son be 3 week old I have be pump exculsively and I highly recommend this pump . I have the model previous to this one , the only difference be the bag . I have travel serveral time in both airplane and car and this pump be great . the car adapter do not work the strongest in all car , however I can always get enough suction with the battery adapter . as with all pump I have have to replace membrane , but I find I could buy they online or locally . the ice pack for the bottle holder do not stay cold enough long enough for I , so I replace it with another longer last ice pack . +964 Baby POS 4 i like this cover . it be really cute and fit my baby . i do not give it five star for the follow reason : the cover be for baby up to 9 pound . the prefold i use with it have a weight capacity of 6-16 pound . i suspect this be why the edge of the cover tend to absorb some urine . i always tuck the diaper inside , but i suspect i need preemie size prefold with it for it to work best . the cover still prevent the baby 's clothing from get wet , so i still use it . it usually have to go in the diaper pail with the first diaper change , though , which sort of defeat the purpose of have a wipe-clean interior . i would buy it again in a bigger size be i in the market for more diaper cover . +499 Baby POS 5 although I start cloth diapering 11 year ago , I only decide to trust wool with my youngest baby . I do not know why I be so scared to try it . I guess I just do not believe that it would not itch like crazy or stop leak . I be SOOOOO happy that I decide to just try it . it work better than I could have imagine and it be unbelievably soft . my baby love wear this . it be so breathable and never leave any red mark . she also have less diaper rash than when we be use PUL and nylon cover . I can honestly say that if it be not for wool , we would probably be use sposy right now . the upkeep be not difficult at all . there be many video on Youtube if you want to see how to lanolize wool . if you have any leftover lansinoh from those first week of breastfeeding - that will work perfectly . otherwise , you can get lanolin from you pharmacy . I have 5 other brand of wool pull-on cover , and I really do like this brand . my baby have only leak through this a handful of time . -lrb- she be a average wetter , so it probably just need to be lanolize . -rrb- if properly lanolize , I can not imagine that a baby would soak completely through this unless they be heavy wetter or sleep for 14 + hour at a time . because this cover be so buttery soft and reliable , it probably get the most use out of all my wool . because my daughter wear a lot of dress , it be use mostly during the day . -lrb- I even usually choose this over my cute embroidered Wild Child Woolies ! -rrb- it do not look brand new anymore . the top look kinda stretch out . however , the leg hole still fit nicely around my baby ' leg . there be not any worn spot or hole in the fabric . I do not know if it would last through more than 1 - 2 baby , but I still feel like I be get my money 's worth . -lrb- disana be my # 1 favorite for night time . I can not imagine any baby could wet enough to soak through Disanas ! I like the Kissa 's , ruskovillum and lanacare equally , while I be not a fan of my aristocrat cover . -rrb- +51 Baby POS 5 very helpful when kid put they dirty shoe on the back of the car 's front seat ! I would recommend it for anyone who have kid or spend time in snowy or rainy weather ! +464 Baby POS 5 I have a 9 month old who be start to move around a lot more while eat . these bib be great ; they keep baby clean -lrb- for the most part ... she like to grab and flail sometimes -rrb- , be easily clean -lrb- we hand wash and machine wash -rrb- , and dry quickly . the velcro be good but a clasp would be better . +494 Baby POS 5 this light blue one look like a scarf on my daughter . Navy and Red look like western bandana -lrb- so cute ! -rrb- . absorb like a dream . well make . Wish all we bib be these ... we would only need 3 per day instead of 6 of the cheapo . I have 7 in different color and use 1 per day . I save it for when we go out so that she still look cute and she outfit be not ruin by a ugly\/huge bib . if only I could afford 21 of these ! -lrb- have to buy some color directly from silly Billy 's website , but shipping be cheap there . -rrb- love +877 Baby POS 5 this thing be great ! I get it for my six month old son because he hand be too busy when I nurse he and it be a struggle to hold he and deflect he hand from interfere with the latch -lrb- which also hurt -rrb- . he fiddle with the necklace instead . he also like to gum any necklace that I wear , and I worry that some of they be not sturdy enough , or be make out of material that may leach chemical he should not ingest . he really enjoy gum it . I get the pearl one . it be really pretty , it look like mother of pearl . the picture do not do it justice - the white be swirly and sparkley . I like it even better . I almost get the black to match more outfit - but other user 's feedback mention that it collect fuzz and look gross . I have notice that it get a little dusty , but the light color do not show it , and the rope be long enough that it be easy to lean over a sink and rinse it off while still wear it . I will probably get another one . it seem like a lot of money for a silicone ring and a cloth rope , BUT they make the idea reality , so I be happy to pay for the service . +650 Baby POS 5 this be a fantastic idea , and it work ! we use it recently for we trip to Arizona and it be great . between my husband and I we have 2 suitcase , 1 golf bag , a umbrella stroller and the car seat . this little invention make it easy for we to attach the car seat onto one of the suitcase , leave we with just the other bag , the stroller and the golf bag to drag around . I would recommend practice at home before head for the airport as this can be quite tricky to attach to the bag . my husband be normally very calm but I have see he get angry because he could not get it to work . the trick for we be to pull the handle on the car seat to put it in the recline position , that way it fit better . you will have to unstrap the seat to go through security so just make sure you know how to do it properly and it will only take a minute to put back . people in the airport be comment on how clever it be and we daughter be happy ride in it . we use the suitcase\/seat combo as we stroller in the airport which be very handy . we could even wheel she in the plane and only have to unstrap it once we reach we seat . I would imagine that in some plane the aisle might be too narrow to allow you to do that . overall a great product and most importantly if feel safe to use . +336 Baby NEG 2 Wayyyy over price ! should have just use a cloth diaper tuck in . material be kinda rough . small and skimpy . but do do the job . would not purchase again . two do come in a pack , but for $ 16 it should be 6 ! +112 Baby POS 4 I love the pattern , and they be of good quality , but we son be in the 20th percentile for weight and the 75th for length , so he do not fall into the " most " category of " one size fit most " . however , for baby closer to the 50th percentile and above , these would be perfect . +496 Baby NEU 3 slide off the active model but keep the drool off which be the point . actually wish I would just make a couple from a old tea towel , its a waste of money to be honest . +186 Baby POS 5 these be so absorbant and i love the color & pattern available . they be a nice size but fold down to fit well into a diaper bag . +804 Baby POS 5 Baby shower gift . love it . Super cute ! ship on time ! would shop again if need too . would tell people excellent place ! +575 Baby POS 5 this pump be great and easy to use . it be easily portable and make pump easy . I buy a separate pump bra , which make pump simple ! +64 Baby POS 5 I get these sleep sack in several different color b\/c my daughter spit up or have diaper leak so often . as with many if not most other toddler , she kick off she blanket several time every single night . these solve the problem ! depend on how cool it be , I pair they with either short-sleeved or long-sleeved top . they be very roomy in the bottom but now that my daughter 's 18-mo , I leave they half-way zip so that she can move she leg about . -lrb- slightly defeat the purpose but now that it be June , and not to mention , she like it on the cool side , it be okay to have bare leg . I just want at least she torso to be cover -rrb- . she would be complain for the last couple month about not be able to move she leg round . I have also get she a wearable blanket for toddler and get to use it for two night before she diaper leak ... however , that be for another review ! bottom line , I love these sleep sack and highly recommend they . +17 Baby NEU 3 if you like the princess theme , these will suit you fine - otherwise you will find they , as I do , over-the-top . +630 Baby POS 4 I be travel with 2 year old twin and already have my hand full without they run in different direction . use this to attach to we luggage -lrb- both carry on and med size -rrb- and it work wonder get we to the ticket gate , past security , and even to the rental car booth . we never have to worry about where the kid be run off to - it be very easy to install and use . we kid enjoy be able to stroll through and watch what be go on around we . we receive a ton of compliment of how smart we be to get the strap and how other wish they have think of it . great product , good quality , and a life saver ! +40 Baby POS 4 Thought I order a blanket . do not realize a blankie be a miniature version . the granddaughter both love it , though , and enjoy snuggle and carry it around . +311 Baby NEG 2 I be disappoint that this do not fit my active bjorn better . it also have a rough feel to it . it honestly work better just to put he in a bib and then tuck it into the front . +378 Baby POS 5 I purchase this for my daughter and I actually get to use it while she come to stay for a week . it hold all the small bottle part , plenty of spike to place bottle on and the ability to spin around be great . and have a small counter footprint and easily break down for travel ! why people complain about a product that do the job and be such a great price be beyond I ! +780 Baby POS 5 my sister in law get one of these for my baby who be now two ... it have be a constant companion in the car , in she bed - everywhere . I love sleep sheep ! I now buy they for all of my friend have baby . +266 Baby POS 5 the travel toddler be a clever t shaped strap that connect the latch hook on you car seat around a carry on wheel case . for we test we use a Brittax marathon car seat on the airplane itself and have connect flight . hook and un-hook for security screen and place the car seat on the plane be fine . we do not use we infant in the seat connect to the carry-on bag , however the carry-on be stable with the car seat attach move and at rest . move the car seat between connect flight be so much easier than use the car seat ` bag ' . I would not hesitate to buy this again , however depend on the plane age and seat configuration get the stroller down a long aisle be mix . sometimes exit row and first class seat would require I to adjust the angle of the car seat to go under or above the arm rest , in rare case I give up and just lift the carry on over one very narrow first class row . we have similar issue with the sit-n-stroller . the newer seat layout seem to trade seat width against aisle width +269 Baby POS 4 I be really please with the footed sleeper . it be a very soft cotton and it wash up really well . it be definately pricey but as a `` splurge '' item for my little one I be not at all disappointed . they only reason I give it a four star instead of five be the price , and the fact that the sizing be a little big . my baby be now 3 month and at 23 inch and 12lb it be just fitting well now . other than that if you want to splurge on a adorable sleeper for you baby this one definately get my recomendation ! +447 Baby NEG 1 I buy this for we Joovy Ergo Caboose and it do not fit -- perhaps there be fine print in the literature state as much , but wish I have know before I go to the trouble of order it . look like a nice organizer -- too bad it be go back to Amazon , and I be go back to the draw board . +343 Baby POS 5 my son and I love this - it do exactly what the product description say . it look pretty good and my 8-month old boy love to mouth and chew on this ... the actual teether bit and whatever bit of cord he manage to grab on to as well . so far it have be a huge help in get we through church , dine out and a number of flight with minimal fussing . we mostly use it with I wear it as a necklace , but it also make a fun ` batting ' toy if you dangle it in front of he or fasten it over he car seat handle -lrb- supervise of course -rrb- . I only give this 3 \* for be a ` fun toy ' and ` eductaional ' because it be not really a toy or design to be fun -lrb- ! -rrb- and I be not sure how educational you could say a teether be - these rating be not at all mean negatively - it be just that what we be be ask to rate be somewhat irrelevant to the product itself . definitely a great buy and I have say on many occasion how very glad I be to have it . not quite a ` must-have ' item but almost ! +525 Baby POS 5 this be the second batch of these bib I have purchase . the first set last 4 year before wear out from daily use on my two little boy . these bib work really well for catch thing that would end up in lap . they be great !! +818 Baby POS 5 this baby mobile be very vibrant in color and the character be fun : -rrb- my son love it ! there be a variety of classical music to choose from . the sound be not very loud , but when you want you child to calm down and go to sleep I guess that be good . I be happy with the product . +827 Baby POS 5 I have 7-month old twin and I have love this stroller . I get mine when I be pregnant with the twin . I buy mine use and I have not have a single problem with it . my favorite thing about the stroller be that it be lightweight and easy to open\/shut\/store . it fit in the back of we van with plenty of room to spare . my four-year-old daughter even occasionaly stand on part of the frame and hold onto the top of my twin ' car seat and go for a ride , too . the stroller be long -lrb- what do you expect when push twin around -rrb- , but it be surprisingly easy to steer and control . I will be sad when my baby turn one and outgrow they car seat , because then I will not be able to use this stroller anymore . I 'll be force to carry around a bulky double stroller . \* sigh \* this snap-and-go have be heaven-sent and be perfect for run around town . if you be have twin , THIS be a must-have ! +817 Baby POS 5 my daughter be bear in the spring , so we be use A+A regular swaddle blanket throughout spring and summer . I love they so much I keep buy more . anyways , it be fall\/winter now and we need something warmer . LO LOVESSSSS this blanket ! it be sooo soft and comfy . I love it too . . I wish they make this in adult size ! +375 Baby POS 4 this product be neat and you jr fireman will love it . snap be durable , although might be tough for little hand to operate . jacket and liner appear to be durable as well . this gift be a hit with we three-year old . would recommend to other . +853 Baby POS 5 definitely worth the inexpensive dollar it cost . help keep carseat in place , as well as protect the seat -- a major bonus . I end up order more for relative ' car ! +327 Baby POS 5 this jacket be great . . very well make - we love the hood , that it protect from sun , and the overall design be cute . +535 Baby NEU 3 my almost three-year-old beanpole be swim in these so we never use they . we do get the smaller size , the smallest we could get and they be still too big . as a potty-training aid , they do not work for my son . he treat they like a diaper so we only use they for nap time . as advertise , they do not leak , even though the leg hole be a bit big on my son . +603 Baby POS 5 my 2 year old just love it ! it be the right size and even wash good . I will tell I friend about this shirt ! +988 Baby POS 5 I see where people have a lot of issue and I barely purchase one because of they but I actually Love the brush . Mine have not tear up at all , I like the sponge tip for the bottom of the bottle floor . especially for breastmilk which have a lot of fat ... if you get a brush with a prickly brush head and not a sponge ... then it miss area on the bottom of the bottle floor . it will stay greasy no matter what liquid you use . . by the way , Palmolive Baby work magic and leave the bottle squeaky clean . for hygiene purpose I switch my brush out monthly as I wash several bottle daily ... I also `` after '' it dry out , I use a zip lock bag on the tip of it to keep it sterile . Palmolive Ultra , Baby Bottle , Toy , & Dish Wash liquid 20 fl oz -lrb- 591 ml -rrb- +287 Baby POS 4 great bib . keep my baby 's clothes clean at mealtime . the biggest negative be that it be hard to clean the crumb out of the pocket . +649 Baby POS 5 when we first bring we precious baby boy home , I buy this nursing pillow as a gift for my wife and she sure get good use out of it . it make breastfeed \/ bottlefeed comfortable and it reduce back strain for she . I also use it when I bottle feed my boy and it work very well too . +599 Baby NEG 1 I think this stroller would be great for my twin daughter . I figure it would be great to easily take they from car seat to stroller , when need . I love the bucket style carrier , but this stroller base be a pain . the worst part so far have be the wheel . while build it , I have to call and replace a faulty one . since use it , the wheel near the handle have get severely wobbly . I have to call after a few week of use to get they replace as well . basically , I have replace 3 of the 4 wheel in a month of use -lrb- and before use -rrb- . also , when I fold it , the wheel swivel and make it impossible to lock at time . while folding and unfold , the canvas strap get catch constantly , so it be not quick and easy to fold and unfold . push this bulky stroller be a major chore . beyond the difficulty in turn such a long stroller -lrb- which come with the twin territory -rrb- , it be heavy and the wheel seem overly tax . my jogging stroller be a thousand time easier to push . I wish there be another , possibly more expensive but better build double carrier snap stroller on the market , and I would buy it in a second . +265 Baby POS 5 we love boppy ! it be great for nurse my baby in a variety of position , whether I be sit up or lie down , whether she be in a cradle hold , football hold , or whatever-she can even lie on she side on it while I nurse she while lie on my side ! - comfortable as arm and baby support for other family and the babysitter to give bottle , prop the baby up when you sit she in it to interact with she , provide support for I if I want to use it as a pillow for my head or back , help with tummy time , etc. . it be durable , and the cover you can get for it be durable , too , easy to clean , comfortable , and come in such a variety of color , pattern , and fabric that there be really something for everyone ; there be even more style available than see here on Amazon . we even have a hand-me-down that go through two other kid , and it be still like new . we have the nautical\/dino Baby cover as well as a plain denim one . +252 Baby POS 5 my husband and I purchase this item when my daughter be 8 month . we get it to make do daily thing a little easier without worry about she bump she head . we love it . we only use it for a short time a few time a day and it be great ! it make it easier to make dinner . I plop she in it in the kitchen and we hang out while I be cooking . it make it easy to answer the door and not worry while my back be turn for a few seconds . she enjoy it a lot . we put some snack in it and she eat they and play away . I do not know how we do without it ! +570 Baby POS 5 I really enjoy give this as a present to my expectant sister . I have get a bid that say my autie love I . the husband ask `` where be the Uncle bib ? '' he want to have a part as well . I go to amazon.com immediately to find what I need . as always , I find exactly what I be look for . this bib not only be cute . it be also a good way for the Uncle to express he love . I take it a step further and have it personalize with my husband 's name . I enjoy the expression on my sister face as she open this gift . she comment on how thoughtful this gift be . it be not every day you see a bib such as this . thank you for allow I to get exactly what I need . +139 Baby POS 5 we buy this for the cold weather month . it work great , and have a cute puppy pattern . buy a size up as we son be super tall , so somewhat long , but nice to have extra space for chubby leg ! +554 Baby POS 5 I buy this for my friend who be expect . I have call the baby `` peanut '' since she find out she be pregnant . when I give it to she at she shower a few week ago she love it ! it be so cute and soft ! it be the perfect gift ! +395 Baby NEG 1 its quality seem not good . I use it 5 time a day and 4 month till now . its motor sound be get louder a week ago . now it can not work anymore . my friend buy the same product at almost the same time and hers be break , too . philip AVENT BPA Free Twin Electric breast pump , White +695 Baby NEG 1 the back doe peel off of these bib . we wash all of we bib in a mesh bag to keep they from stick to clothes . this one peel after one wash . what a waste ! we 'll stick with pricier bib that do what they be suppose to and do not leave little bit of plastic on my infant . +580 Baby NEU 3 this be great to prop baby up when you be bottle feeding . however , this be not go to work for breastfeeding . it hold baby too low down . the `` my breast friend '' pillow be better for that . this be good for baby to lay down with head prop up a little bit or for some tummy time . overall I would say it be definitely worth have and I definitely use it ALOT . +301 Baby POS 5 it do the job to keep the baby warm at night I recommend it highly . it would be better if the price be more entice +474 Baby POS 5 these sleepsack be great . we have be use they ever since we baby be too old for swaddle . they come in fleece as well as the t-shirt knit -lrb- great for spring and summer -rrb- , and keep you baby snug and cozy without any worry about suffocation or they kick it off in the night and get cold . a bonus : the sleep bag design keep crib-climber from be too mobile ! +21 Baby NEG 2 while the sleep nest be nice and cozy , and nice to look at , there be a couple of thing about it that make I nervous . 1 : it off gas . the packaging it arrive in off gas a lot itself , so I imagine that the sleep nest absorb the plastic fume while it be sit in it . I wash the sleep nest once but it smell just as strongly . 2 : the arm hole be really large so the sleep nest have the potential to rise up and cover the baby 's face . I have no idea if this would happen or if it would matter for a older baby but my daughter move around a lot in she crib so after get a replacement from the company that have different packaging -lrb- and thus no off-gassing -rrb- , I still do not want to use the sleep nest . just a couple of thing to take into consideration ! +602 Baby NEG 2 we originally buy this potty chair because of the padded seat , think it would be great for we toddler . we be so wrong about it ! my toddler enjoy sit on it , that be not the problem ... the problem be , after 4 day of use this chair , it have develop a horrible urine smell ! the foam-type seat absorb the urine that spray , and alot of it will collect right under the seat so you have to clean it real well ! I like the concept of the seat , but the foam padding really suck and we waste money on this seat and will be get a new one . +563 Baby POS 5 I love this product ! it be cute , easy to assemble , and easy to attach to the crib . however , the only problem I have come across be change the battery . you have to take it off of the crib , then take off the back panel , and then change the battery . my daughter 's crib be against the wall , so I have to pull she crib out every time I need to change the battery . the remote control work great , and the different melody -lrb- or rainforest sound -rrb- be really great . all around , I would say I would purchase this again ! +729 Baby POS 5 my twin daughter be almost 6 month old and these be the most comfortable headband I have find for they ! the band be super stretchy and really wide , so there be not any red mark on they poor little head from those small band that be super tight . I would definitely buy more like these headband ! +258 Baby POS 5 have be hunting for mitten that could stay on my son 's hand and finally find one . absolutely help when we go out in the cold and not that easy to pull it out ... Love the design and color . unlike other mitten these be soft on baby 's hand and still do not get wet very fast if he be suck . and best part - you can change the color by turn the shaded part the other way !!! +172 Baby POS 5 this be a must have for a number of reason . Works well as a throw cloth for baby 's throw up as well as a blanket . +503 Baby POS 4 Baby have not take to the teethe bling yet but I feel like the idea be a good one . she be only 5 month old and be not into full teething mode yet so we shall see . +516 Baby POS 5 Grandma be not ready to give up leather seating in she car and want something to protect the leather from damage when a booster seat be install . the Prince Lionheart two Stage Seat Saver seem to be what I be look for . not only be it somewhat more rigid than other seat protector , but it come in tan so that it match my car 's interior . additionally , since I live in south Texas , the lighter color be more desirable for purpose of keep the vehicle 's interior from get so hot . there should be no issue with the seat saver stain the lighter leather black as , base on reviewer ' comment , some other brand do . the Prince Lionheart two Stage Seat Saver be easy to install . the base fill one of the back `` bucket '' seat ; the seat saver 's back need to have be about 4 '' longer to completely protect the booster seat back from come in contact with the vehicle 's seat . further , it would have be helpful if each side of the Prince Lionheart two Stage Seat Saver have tab that extend over the seat back . that would have prevent the booster seat strap from digging into the vehicle 's seat when the booster seat be correctly install . because of the vehicle 's seat depth , the Prince Lionheart two Stage Seat Saver 's front flap do not `` bend '' at the marked area , but still provide a bit of protection to the seat edge . have a little one who like to `` drum '' he foot make I appreciate this feature ; I do wish the flap have be a bit longer and have multiple groove for bend . there be no slide of the Britax Frontier 85 SICT Booster seat which be install on this seat saver ; the booster seat hold firmly in place . the backing on the Prince Lionheart two Stage Seat Saver be a rubber-like mesh , similar to the material use to keep floor rug from slide . since I have not yet have the seat in place during one of we very hot Texas summer , I do not know whether there will be a sticking problem . I will probably remove the booster seat during the summer unless we little one be visit so that I can avoid this potential problem . I would have rate the Prince Lionheart two Stage Seat Saver a 4.5 , if that rating have be available . with the exception of the suggest change , I be very pleased with this product . +758 Baby POS 5 this bib be the best bib I have use . it catch so much food and just wipe clean with a paper towel . I throw it in the wash machine all the time and come out look brand new . I do not put it in the dryer and it dry within minute just by hang it up . +574 Baby POS 5 buy this after try out cheaper alternative that do not really work too well . the Medela , yes it be expensive , be a awesome pump and perhaps the best we have be able to find . the pressure can be adjust base on personal comfort and the pump speed be better compare to some lighter-duty pump . no impact on the shape either , I guess if you crank up the pressure too much , it could have some impact but not entirely sure of that . the pump be not the most quiet when it run , which become a slight problem at night , but it be not unacceptably loud . the storage bag and compartment be very well think out . the only one problem be clean the tube be not easy , but that be the case with all pump , not just this one . I would highly recommend not cheap out and get a quality product such as this medelum pump , it be the best money can buy . +230 Baby POS 5 I have read the other review and agree that the lid be a pain when up against a wall ; I have not experience a problem with the cushy seat . I have a toddler boy -lrb- tall and slender -rrb- who have be through another Safety First 3-in-1 potty , a large potty insert seat , and the Fisher Price Frog Potty all before my mother purchase this one to try . my son love it ! the first 3-in-1 do not have enough of a lip for pee , the insert seat be not comfortable and have a hard shield , and the frog potty have such straight wall that the pee will spray out front\/back\/sides at any give time . we use this potty downstairs and my son have actually request another one for upstairs . until something just as comfortable and with a cup that prevent spray-out come along , the other issue be not enough to prevent this from be the best potty out there for a little boy . +913 Baby POS 5 I receive one of these as a baby gift and love it so much I come on Amazon to buy another one ! I have one attach to the diaper bag and one attach to the stroller -lrb- for walk and short outing that do not require the diaper bag -rrb- . this way I have the pacus ready where ever we be . +843 Baby POS 4 I do not register for bib but get several cloth one as gift . I do not think they would be useful until we start solid and then I realize they really be not useful . they have to be wash after every meal & even then they be hard to get clean . plus , they be so small that they hardly catch the mess a new solid eater make ! these cover we daughter completely & there be plenty of room for grow . they be easy to wipe clean & can be use for several meal before they need to be wash . my only complaint be that the neck be wide to accomodate grow I assume & so I still fight the neck of she clothes get dirty . for now I put a cloth bib under to cover she neck & will probably use a towel later . I still feel it be worth the money . +519 Baby POS 5 I use it at home and outside . it be somewhat flexible , so I can roll up and stuff it inside my baby 's lunch box . it catch most solid and liquid -lrb- soup -rrb- . but , I have to take it off when my baby want to drink water or milk so that he can place he arm comfortably . +13 Baby NEG 1 this be the worst potty chair ever . the cushion absorb the pee , I try soak the cushion in bleach and the pee smell stay in the cushion . also , if you have a boy the shield do not work . do not waste you money . +750 Baby NEU 3 I be have a hard time with bottle for my daughter - she stop use they when I be home for summer vacation as I nurse . I find one think Baby sippy cup but it be tall - she like the spout - I buy this kit because they have different size of bottle - I also buy the sippy attachment kit - the normal nipple leak - however when I use the sippy nipple I have no problem - I like that I can just change nipple and add handle . +319 Baby POS 5 nice soft sleep sack that provide just the right amount of warmth for my baby . long length provide enough room for my boy to be comfortable . i would definitely buy it again . the only complaint would be that the color be not as bright brown as picture but more of a greyish brown ... do not really matter that much though +88 Baby NEG 2 I order this as a gift but return it . it say 0-6 month , but it be quite large . it be not very pretty and look cheap . +950 Baby POS 5 the product be delievier on time and in perfect condition ! thank you ! this product be perfect for cleaning may baby +236 Baby POS 5 this have be my favorite brush with all my kid . and now that the brush be new and improve I love it even more . I do like the stand , help keep the sponge dry and not smelly . +902 Baby NEG 1 now that I have have this bib for a bit I hate it ! the neck be too big , it do not adjust well , and worst of all there be some sort of stabilizer or something on the back side that be peel off . its a huge mess and I worry that one of the kid will eat some of it as it fall off . I probably wash it wrong or something , but seriously , its a bib , one that get use everyday -lrb- or use to -rrb- I need to be able to wash it in hot water . +919 Baby POS 5 Li'l Peanut be a huge hit at my sister 's baby shower this weekend ! my sister -lrb- 1st time mommy-to-be -rrb- tell we she be have a baby and show we the ultra sound , she say it be the size of a peanut , so that be what I start call it , then we find out she be a girl I still call she peanut . so when my sister unwrap my small gift for Emily -lrb- peanut -rrb- , she eye tear up , then state to laugh and just we two share a moment at the baby shower ; just we & peanut . this seem to be a very safe toy , no button to come off , nothing hard to hurt herself on , no move part to pinch a finger and as baby do , put everything in they mouth , there will be no fuzz or lint to dig out of Emily 's mouth . when she get older she can learn put she baby `` in '' & `` out '' . the picture do it no justice . this be the sweetest little thing I have see in a while . my 12 yr . old say she want one too ! this be just perfect ! +58 Baby NEG 1 I wish this seat have be test and revise before final production because it could be a great car seat . instead , the way that it fit into the seat as a rear face seat make it impossible to adjust the tightness of the strap , which equal a unsafe fit for you child . very disappointed . it may be different as a forward face seat , but that do not help we or own 6 month old . as insult to injury , the instruction be clearly -lrb- very poorly -rrb- translate from a foreign language , which make it impossible to understand . you basically just use common sense to get the seat latch because the direction make no sense . this be a huge hassle and I plan on return it immediately . +748 Baby NEU 3 the costume be make with nice material . the only downside to it be that the head piece be extremely small . it would fit a baby under 12 lb . I have to have it alter in order for it to fit and unfortunately its still pretty small . +341 Baby NEG 1 I buy these because of the price and you be get a 3 pack . you pay for what you get . we daughter be 5 month and soak through she diaper each time that we use these . I highly recommend the Thirsty Hemp Liner double pack . those liner really absorb and you wlll have less laundry do to leakage . +440 Baby POS 5 this be a real cute bib for a baby . my son-in-law be a Pittsburg Steelers fan and he think this bib be great . he baby wear this bib when the steler play . +683 Baby POS 5 I buy this for my 4 month old and she love the peek-a-boo action and the music . Whenever she be cranky , I lay she in the crib and switch this on and then she be all happy . great product for new mom out there . +12 Baby POS 4 I use this to go from Okinawa , Japan to the U.S. and back again . I like the fact this product be very affordable and work with my roll carry . it allow I to take my daughter 's Britax Marathon stroller -lrb- which she love -rrb- on the plane and allow she to sleep comfortably . however , the negative side to this for I be try to get through security check point . I have to disconnect\/disassemble the car seat from the carry on , take my daughter out of the car seat , then put the stroller and carry on through the x-ray machine . and then put it all back together again on the other side . with that say , it be still a great product . I get a whole lot of people tell I how `` together '' I seem to have everything . +980 Baby POS 5 we have get four small boy and have try several different brand of feeder bib over the last 6.5 yr . this Bumkins brand beat they all , it stand the test of time . we have have jjcole -lrb- gorgeous modern pattern but material separate after a month or two -rrb- and iplay which crack peel and eventually fall apart . bumpkin have last 5 year !!! look no further . +732 Baby POS 5 really cheap and useful . Perfect for mi girl !! she be not so small and the bib fit perfect ! I recommend they !! +864 Baby POS 5 when my son hit 22 pd at about 8 mo , I start research several convertible car seat and do many check on the NHTSA -lrb- National Highway Traffic Safety Administration -rrb- website , finally to have decide on this seat . here be my finding . - it rank very high with the NHTSA -lrb- REAR FACING - 5 star for eval of label , eval of instruction , secure the child & overall ease of use and 3 star for installation feature ; forward face - 5 star for all of the above -rrb- . - it be very roomy ; however , do not take up too much space in the back of my Nissan Xterra -lrb- which actually have a pretty tight back seat -rrb- . - the 5-point harness system be very easy to clasp together -lrb- much easier than my son 's Baby Trend infant car seat -rrb- . - I take it to my local fire station to install and it be the first one of its kind the fireman have install and it take he all of about 5 minute to install after read the manual . he do cut a large pool noodle into 3 short piece and put underneath the front of the seat , rear face , to secure the accurate position . I feel very confident I could install it on my own if I need to move it -lrb- which I have not yet -rrb- . - my son seem to love he new seat ! he have fall asleep in it a few time and have not slump over , like I read about with other convertible car seat . - the fabric and cushioning be very nice . I do not want the fabric that be too soft because it can get very hot in summer month , so I go with this kind that be more like a soft , yet heavy material . I really like it ! I be nervous it would not be soft enough , but I have no complaint . - overall - great value , great car seat , great look , great safety rating ! I 'll try to take some photo and post also . +569 Baby POS 4 this be a great mobile , my only critique be that the song end too quickly . my son love it . almost 3 month old and he stare at it and fall asleep to the music . +873 Baby POS 5 I see this and immediately need to order it for my 11 month old niece . she love it and it fit she giant noggin perfectly ! I be afraid that it would be too small , then when I open it I think it might be too big . it be perfect ! she have not get much hair at all yet so I want to get she a hat with ear flap to keep she little ear warm . my sister in law tell I she do not normally keep hat on but she love this hat and love wear it !!! so happy with this purchase !!! my only advice be to do away with the pin for now . although they be adorable , they be unsafe for a baby to have access to . +769 Baby POS 5 if you buy the Joovy Stroller Joovy Caboose stand on Tandem Stroller Blue check there be a pouch for you key and phone or whatever little thing that you need to keep at you finger tip along with two cup holder . this along with the stoller be a win-win pruchase ! +498 Baby POS 5 I love these bib ! at a glance , they be pricy . but in the long run , these be far cheaper than the cheap bib I could have pick up at my local target or Walmart . we have some cheapy and they quickly curl and the velcro lose its stickiness . these be machine-washable and the velcro have hold up well . they have be use for several month at we house and ours still look new . I would highly recommend these bib ! +453 Baby NEG 1 not sure how this even have the word `` bounce '' in the name . it do not even come close to bounce . we order this for my eight month old , and it arrive yesterday . we assemble it and instantly decide it be go back . here be the issue : 1 -rrb- low quality part do not fit together well . some be so tight it be impossible to get they assemble , other be so loose the baby himself could have dismantle they . 2 -rrb- base be rocky and unsteady 3 -rrb- seat say it be `` adjustable '' but really the way it adjust be the crotch portion be make shorter -lrb- as oppose to the leg extend -rrb- . all this do be move you baby up in the seat and make it easier for they to fall out . 3 -rrb- this do not `` break down for easy storage '' . once we decide it be go back , we disassemble it . it take two adult atleast 30 minute to get this thing apart -lrb- see bullet one -rrb- . 4 -rrb- no bounce . not even close . the goofy little `` bounce pad '' be just a plastic circle with some rubber band in it to give it a little `` give '' . there be no bounce go on with this toy . +768 Baby NEG 2 my baby enjoy this mobile . there be a period -lrb- when he be 2-3 month old -rrb- when he would stop cry and kick excitedly whenever we place he in he crib and turn the mobile on . but after about 3 month of not-too-heavy use , the motor start make a whir noise , and would struggle to turn . we replace the battery several time -lrb- which do not fix the problem -rrb- , and decide to put up with the whir noise and the slowness . it finally stop turn at all after 6 month . I disassemble it , and find that it be cheap plastic construction , which rely on a thin rubber band to rotate the whole assembly . I clean the plasticky gunk from the belt-wheel -lrb- another plastic piece -rrb- , but shortly after be reassemble , the mobile slow down again . it be go in the trash . +938 Baby NEG 2 well . . as my title suggest . . they do not last nearly as long as the manufacturer suggest . I have have to replace this pad for my wipe warmer at LEAST every thirty day . and even then , the pad be usually bone dry before then with brown spot all over it the pad -rrb- . which force I to throw away wipe that be near to the pad\/bottom although the wipe have not nearest the dry pad do not simultaneously dry out , who want to use brown wipe for they precious lo 's bottom ? -rrb- the warmer itself do it be job , but these pad need a bit of tweaking ! expect to change the pad every 3-4 week , not as the manufacturer suggest ! +753 Baby POS 5 these be great ... and much better than summer or other brand . quick on and off and the reverse zipper be brilliant and make quick diaper change easy . my 5 month old still need a little swaddling when she sleep and the Sleepsacks calm she immediately . I wish they be not so expensive ... but I find they to be well worth it . +310 Baby NEG 2 really want to like theses : -lrb- ... but they be just too tight for my baby 's chunky little knee ! probably would be great for a baby with small leg +508 Baby POS 5 we get this car seat after be very happy with my son 's first year Via car seat . he be too big already for the extra padding but we have he back face in this seat for about six month and now have he forward face . he be like both way . I drive a Hyundai Sonata so we have decent room in my car for the seat but we have also put it in a friend 's four runner and my husband 's Elantra and it have fit really well in all car . it be bigger than a lot of other car seat out there but I also feel like it be really well construct and pretty comfy . safety be obviously my primary concern and this car seat fit really snugly in my car and do not move around . I also find it really easy to install , please do read all the direction first , but after that time investment I have not have any issue install it quickly and securely . plus the seat seam pad well and comfortable for my son . I have feel a lot of other car seat out there that feel like they would be pretty hard to sit on and uncomfortable . a few thing I do not like but not many . the size be pretty big , not really a issue for I but it could be in some of the smaller car out there , although it do fit just fine in my husband 's Elantra and that be not a huge car . also , my son figure out how to snap off the cup holder pretty quickly . it be not hard to get back on and it be nice that it pop off so it can go on either side , but it be annoy when he get it off and start throw it around . of course it would be that or he toy or whatever else he could find if he could not get it off . you do need a seat protector but you would need that with any car seat . I also do not like some of the color but that be personal preference . overall we be really happy with this car seat . it be not the cheapest seat out there but for how good it be and compare to comparable seat you be get one heck of a good deal . +323 Baby POS 5 I love the absorbancy of the terry cloth and they be bigger than traditional cloth . Wish I have purchase more ! +29 Baby POS 5 the travel toddler be a fantastic invention worth its weight in gold -lrb- or more , since it be quite light -rrb- for parent travel with young child and they car seat in the airport . we recently travel with we 2.5 year old -lrb- 30lb -rrb- and she First year true fit convertible car seat to transport the car seat , the travel toddler be ingenious . it attach quickly to the latch strap and top tether of you car seat to give you a easy way to roll you seat through the airport -- much easier than the GoGoKidz TravelMate , which take far more time to install . the only drawback I see of this product be : \* you need make sure you route you latch strap through in the forward face position , or they may not be long enough to reach around you suitcase -- so if you be use you car seat rear-facing , you 'll have to re-route the latch strap before reinstall it in you car . not a big deal , but take a few extra minute . \* not so much a drawback of this particular product , but of this concept in general : this strap turn you car seat into a very novel stroller , which will likely attract you toddler 's attention . sound good in concept , right ? in practice , 20lb of suitcase -lrb- or more -rrb- plus 20lb of car seat plus 30lb of toddler make for one really , really heavy contraption to be pull through the airport ! the product photo show a man push the seat and suitcase , but in reality , to get a angle that keep you child 's foot off the floor , you have you exert a fair amount of force , and at 5 ' 10 '' , I would be walk pretty bent over to accomplish that . so we pull it -- still bent over , but less awkwardly . overall , I highly recommend this product and will keep it in my travel arsenal for quite some time . +992 Baby NEG 1 i do not like this one it fall apart with in a week of we the bristle fall out so i have to go get another one i would not recommend it to no one its a waste of money sorry +73 Baby NEG 2 very cute bib but very small and short and incredibly thin . bib be way too short for a six month old , would fit a newborn . will be return this item . +720 Baby POS 5 excellent product . would highly recommend this . my baby do not appear to like be swaddle with a blanket and always manage to kick she way out of it which worry I greatly , the thought of she get tangled in the loose blanket . I no longer have this worry and she seem to get a better sleep with the sleep sack and be warm throughout the night . +217 Baby NEU 3 the picture of this belt on Amazon show pink , white and black stripe , but the version I receive be pink , white and light brown stripe . I email the seller and they offer for I to return it as they do not have a `` black '' version , but that be a hassle . otherwise , the belt seem to be good quality , though the buckle mechanism might be tricky for a toddler to work . we 'll see after she try to use it . +263 Baby POS 5 I love these shell . we use they with gdiaper insert and work great . they be nice and trim . my little girl look very comfortable in they . +598 Baby POS 5 this pillow have be a life saver for I . I have be use it every single day since I purchase it for myself and my baby . I use this pillow for the following : 1 . for feed my lo 2 . for nap on my lap , since my baby love to feel the warmth from my body . -lrb- this be become a habit that be hard to break out of , but it be so cute to watch LO nap , forget about the dish in the sink LOL ... -rrb- 3 . for tummy time 4 . for lounge ... which sometimes end up as nap-time because it be so comfortable for LO I take it on all my long trip . I can genuinely say I can not do without it . I buy the `` bare naked '' version and be sorry I have not get a slip cover the same time . I make up for the slip cover by place receive blanket on it whenever I use it . this be good for I because I can wash the receive blanket every other day since my LO drool a lot on it during tummy time . I plan to actually make a slip cover when I find some time to do so . I also plan to get another for the grandparent house because I have to travel with it whenever I know I will have to feed , e.g. on long trip or for over-nighting . it be use not only for breast feeding but my dh use it as well for bottle feeding . I have use it once or twice as a neck pillow for myself as well LOL . after a c-section and weak wrist from pregnancy induce carpal tunnel and a baby that be heavier than the average at birth and continue to be above average at all stage ... this pillow be a blessing to own . I have to say I would recommend this to any mom . +324 Baby NEG 2 the cloth use for this product be too stiff to be kid-friendly . even though it be absorbent , but it scratch baby 's neck area . would not recommend this for other parent . +131 Baby POS 5 cutest leg warmer I have ever see ! they be very soft and extremely well make . I highly recommend these for little girl everywhere ! : o -rrb- +540 Baby POS 4 I be new to cloth diaper , but so far I like the prefold\/cover system as it be cheap and very effective . this cover start fitting my son around 10 pound , and he be still in it at 17 . the inner gusset be great and I have never have a leak . I think in the future I will get snap closure , the velcro be hold up for now but I do not see it last through more than one child . overall a great choice for the price . +0 Baby POS 4 the Gerber mitten you find in the store be too short and the wrist be too big . these give my son freedom to move he finger but do not fall off like the other . the wrist size be perfect and the fabric softness and thickness be great . my only complaint be that for something so simple and easy to make , they be not finish well . the serger string where just hang out . I tuck they in myself , fear that otherwise they could unravel . anyone with a serger could easily make these , but with a baby and another child keep I busy , I do not want to take the time -lrb- especially at this price point -rrb- . oh , and one of my bow fall off the first time they be worn , so we 'll see how they hold up . +692 Baby POS 4 these wrap be very easy to use with prefold and clean very well in the washer . the only thing I don would like , which be a minor issue , be that the side on the back curl in . this be only a problem if the diaper be not wet or dirty and I just want to change out the prefold . sometimes it will curl in and get dirty . otherwise , I be very happy with these cover . +942 Baby POS 5 great product . we would buy it again and again . we have be very pleased with how well it work ! great ! +412 Baby POS 5 frankly , I can not get the hang of traditional swaddling . I often find the blanket unravel in the crib , my newborn son flail he arm , cause I panic that he would suffocate on the material . so I decide to try the SleepSack Swaddle . it be easy to put on . no sleeve and you do not have to slip it over a baby 's head . since it be like a sleep bag , I put he on top , put he arm through the hole and zip the zipper . then I wrap the ` wing ' of the SleepSack Swaddle around he middle , make sure he arm be by he side first so they would be cover by the wing of the SleepSack Swaddle . when I reach into he crib a couple of hour later , he be tuck in the same way he go in . no loose end , no flap arm or fabric cover he face . so great ! the only issue be like that of bib : the velcro can really get tangle in the wash so make sure to zip and velcro before wash . otherwise , you get the amazing benefit of swaddling , freedom of leg movement which be important for hip safety , and a quality product . a must have for all parent and it be great that the line grow with you baby too . +315 Baby POS 4 nice and lightweight . everything arrive in good order and fit well . the monkey 's be cute too . I recommend this product . +360 Baby POS 5 what more can I say , the product speak for itself great product that my son seem to feel very comfortable in . get chilly here and he be be sleep right on through the night +146 Baby POS 5 I find this product after search for way to make travel with my two-year old easier . she love ride in she carseat through the airport and 6 people stop I to ask how it work . the security agent say he wish all parent use this instead of try to jam enormous stroller through the x-ray machine . +624 Baby POS 5 pro : slip on easier than other velcro at neck be much easier than tie of other we have the lack of elastic at the wrist make get it on a squirmy kid easier , though it do tend to allow some food up the sleeve . con : red sauce have stain it -lrb- but who care ? -rrb- overall I would recommend this smock over any of the other we have try . +273 Baby POS 5 excelente manta abrigan mucho a tu bebe y son super suave ademas que el envio a miamus florida fue super rapido y luego el envio a venezuelum igual de rapido de verdad los recomiendo . saludos cordiales desde Caracas , Venezuela . +596 Baby POS 4 I love use Halo sleepsack for my son . however , as he be walk , I think we would move up to the leg version . I read review note it run large but ignore the advice . do not . this product do run large ! my son be 14 month and on the smaller\/shorter side and the sack dwarf he . somehow he manage to walk in it though we have to help by pull he foot back through the leg hole . other than that , I love this product . very soft and warm . with a pajama top underneath , I do not worry if he be warm enough at night . to keep he foot warm , we just pull they up into the sleepsack . I recommend this product but wait to use until you child be older -lrb- at least 15 month -rrb- . +505 Baby POS 4 I have be use these since my 5 month old be bear and I can say that while they do not sanitize , they be a nice thing to have in the diaper bag when you be out and about to wipe off my baby 's toy , bottle nipple , and pacifier . I have even use they to wipe off my baby 's hand if those pesky stranger decide it be okay to touch my child 's hand and as far as I know they have keep she germ free , and she do not have a skin reaction -lrb- though it do not say to use on skin , so I be not recommend that , im just state that when I didnt have anything else , these work : -rrb- +71 Baby POS 5 my daughter look adorable in this bib and it work so well . love the fake necklace imprint on the bib . ca not live without it . +805 Baby POS 4 because the belt be braid , it can go very big and small . the double side color be a big bonus . +857 Baby POS 5 I love these sleep sack ... its difficult to find lighter one for summer and these be just perfect . Fleece be too hot for the warmer weather , but you still need something for you baby to sleep comfortably and safely . they wash and wear forever and I only replace they when my baby outgrow each size ! I would highly reccommend this item ! +39 Baby POS 5 this purchase be definitely one of the best one I make . I love this dry rack ! there be a lot of space on it and it spin . no complaint . it be great . buy it ! +808 Baby POS 5 I have some Breastflow bottle that be not bpa-free and I use these liner inside the bottle . they work well . +77 Baby POS 4 highly recommend these Sleeper Sacks . we baby hate the swaddle , so this be a nice , safe alternative that keep he warm on those chilly night . +5 Baby NEG 1 I buy this pump because the hospital say it be a great brand to buy . I be ready to throw it out the window . it start out you set you speed which be fine , but then part way through pump it will change the setting on you to either way to hard and it hurt very much , my nipple have come away raw from this dang machine , or it will go too light to the point where no milk even come out . it also do not pump both side equally . it will do the side that I put the main pump on -lrb- the one that you set it with -rrb- really good but then the other side wont hardly do it at all . I can be at 3 ounce on the one side and only have like 1\/2 a ounce on the other . I would never buy this stupid machine again . it be not worth the money !!!! by the way this be Jared 's wife : -rrb- +475 Baby POS 5 you can not tell from the picture , but the red and green bib be super soft . my husband and I want to be sure that we daughter be not cover in pink all the time so these bib be perfect ! +45 Baby NEG 2 First of all , this tub be difficult to inflate . the instruction say you can blow it up by mouth , but that would take hour . we have two air pump , but neither one have the correct kind of fitting to match the valve on the tub . we eventually get the right kind of fitting and inflate it . we baby be very active right now and the bottom of the tub be extremely slippery . she be slide all over the place . she slip and fall face down in the water a couple of time . I grab she immediately and pull she out , but I do not think this be safe for active baby . we will not be use this tub . +629 Baby POS 5 one of the must-have item for baby who always kick they blanket away . my 10 mth old be comfortable in it and sleep well at night . no more worry for mama whether he have he blanket on . it be big but sure can last for couple more year . +128 Baby POS 5 I be hesitant to buy this product - I have shower door , and no review mention door , just curtain ... I be happy to say , it do work with my shower door -lrb- see picture -rrb- and meet we need . the two tray be tight to slide together -lrb- as mention in other review -rrb- . once adjust however , I know they 'll stay put . we toy fit well inside the basket ; there be more space than I expect . my daughter have -lrb- so far -rrb- be good about pick up she toy after she bath , so I can happily announce that they be no longer scatter across the tub and floor after every bath ! I be able to move the basket to the front , middle , or rear of the tub -lrb- depend on who be use it at the time -rrb- . for those review that say this be a unsafe product - the first warning read , `` Bath Storage Basket be not to be use to assist in balance . use only as intend : to hold toy , bath care item , etc. '' I would not want my child pull themselves up on something plastic and unsecured anyway , especially in the tub . clearly it be not go to be stable unless bolt down . if you think you child will be pull themselves up , no tub storage would be a good idea for you ... or , just remove the basket during bath time . I would certainly buy this product again , or recommend it to a friend . +134 Baby POS 5 I absolutely love cute hat on baby , love . once I find these adorable ` Lil Monkey Hats , I \* know \* I have to get one for my little girl that be due in July . I purchase the ` Lil Monkey hat with pink trim and will be use it as part of she `` come home '' outfit . : -rrb- keep up the great work and I look forward to more amazing product from ya 'll . : d +538 Baby POS 5 this be a really cute bib , and good quality as well . I have wash it many time and it have hold up very well . I also like that it be a good length -- not too short . I be very pleased with this purchase . +821 Baby POS 5 the sleep sheep be a soft and cuddley with soothing sound that baby love . it be quiet and cute and perfect to hang on the crib . +339 Baby POS 5 love it ! it work well over a prefold even with my baby 's tiny leg ! I love the gusset ... to I they be a must in any diaper cover !! +757 Baby POS 5 this be my favorite bottle brush because it stand up and it have a sponge at the end , not bristle . I think this be one of the only brand with that combination . brush with only bristle at the tip make a big splashy mess . I can not seem to use they without liberally spray everything within 6 foot when I wash the bottle . yeah , these brush do not last forever . neither do my kitchen sponge . I have be replace these every 3 or 4 month . I think that be a decent lifespan for something that be use multiple time a day , every day . go Dr. Brown . +364 Baby POS 5 I receive these bib for my baby shower . these be the only one I register for because I do not want to be the kind of mom that put a bib on she child all the time . then he start teethe and he drool so much that he be soak he outfit in minute and I would have to change he 3-4 time a day . I love the geometric design on these bib . they be very true to the picture . I have wash these repeatedly and have have no trouble with fading or anything else . +539 Baby POS 5 I really love these mitten . they be cheaper on Amazon then at Baby R Us . for the price , these mitten be so soft , dry fast and most importantly they stay on . my son love to pull on he mitten and the other organic mitten never stand a chance . +833 Baby POS 5 I be look for some bib that help block pureed food from get on my baby . these bib be not totally waterproof , but they do block so much . they be a good length and width -lrb- 6 month old -rrb- plus they clean pretty easily . we rinse they off after each meal and then put they in the wash with everything else . they be now we go-to item . +482 Baby POS 5 this be a awesome product . my baby love it from the start . we buy it when he be 2 month & it be very difficult to get he to sleep . he take to it right away . he be 4 month now and love it more than ever . the music be soft and have the perfect volume for he to fall asleep to . the light be just bright enough to light the mobile up so he can see it spin in the dark . it be definitely worth the money . if something happen to this one , I would buy the same one again . +935 Baby POS 4 I have get many of the Aden & Anais swaddle blanket and sleep sack . . and be delighted to find this new adorable design . the muslin material be very soft and wash well - better than many of the other a+a product I have buy , for some reason , which tend to pill up a lot more . the fit be great on my little one . he be get pretty strong at 6mo , and have not yet kick through it -lrb- as I read in some other review -rrb- even though it be a fairly thin material . yes , the material be lightweight - but perfect for daytime summer nap here in the SF Bay Area -lrb- daytime room temp of 68-72f -rrb- . this would not be a good purchase for nighttime use , or fall\/spring\/winter . the only thing that need improvement on this bag be the zipper . it be a little flimsy and the zipper have become separate a couple time . I have always be able to get it back on track fairly easily -lrb- so far -rrb- , but I have read in other review that the zipper have become irrevocably damage so be aware this may be a problem in the future . +726 Baby NEG 1 so I be currently take care of my 4th kid so I know a few thing about freezing milk . we have pack a freezer full of milk for 4 kid now over the past several year . Problem with these bag - when dunk a bag of frozen breast milk into hot water to thaw it out - the bag rip - a small hole will inevitably leak out milk . its happen about 70 % of the time out of the last 30 bag I have have to thaw . absolutely ridiculous . how hard can it be to make a milk storage bag ? the plastic need to be thicker . +983 Baby POS 5 I try many a sleep sack . my little guy love be swaddle and would not go to sleep with out swaddle . but when he get too big for swaddle the thing that keep he warm and comfortable and able to sleep through the night be the baby deedee sleep nest . I get the size medium and my 6 month old boy be pretty big and long , a s big as he 1 year old friend . the sack be roomy and warm . the glow in the dark zipper be a nice touch . the zipper be big and easy to use unlike some I have try . the material be quality and he sleep in it every night , and all through the night . one night my husband forget to put he in it and he wake up all through the night . in the spring I will need to get the next size up . great product . +94 Baby POS 4 so we just go through colic and the dreaded 4 month sleep regression phase . when we move we baby to she own room around 3 month , we put a floor fan in there for white noise . she wall be right next to we tv room , she brother be next door and a loud 2 year old , and she big window be right on a busy street . and she be never a really good sleeper . while for some baby -lrb- lucky lucky parent -rrb- a sleep machine be all you need - for we we know it be just a stress-reliever for we , so that we would not have to worry that noise be interfere with she sleep . -lrb- we could tick that item off the list and move on . -rrb- the fan be just way too cold . so I purchase the sound machine -lrb- marpac 980a , see other review -rrb- and this sheep . I get this sheep for the car actually , as one other reviewer have mention it help they baby not scream in the carseat . after look at both -lrb- the marpac and the sheep -rrb- - the marpac end up in she room for consistent white noise all night , and the sheep go in the car . I do not want to worry that the timer function be the reason for poor sleep -lrb- ie when she wake up at night , she can not go back to sleep because the sheep be no longer on - tick another thing off the list ! -rrb- the sheep be really soft . unfortunately , the sheep do not keep she from scream in the car seat . however - it be great for I ! it be now in we bedroom , hang next to the bed - and it have be fantastic for I - as sleep deprive as I have be , it be often really hard for I to get back to sleep after get up to feed or tend to she or my son if he be sick and really need I in the middle of the night . have try muscle relaxation , all that other stuff that I usually do not need , but it would not work . have use a sound machine in the past -lrb- not the marpac -rrb- and hate it . the one I have try before all sound tinny or annoyingly inconsistent . the rain setting on this sheep , and the timer be perfect for I - have no trouble fall back to sleep at any time . thank you sleep sheep !!!!!!! +170 Baby POS 5 I have be use these for we son for awhile now and just purchase 3 more . they be great ! they say they be for a infant , but they still fit my 15 month old son who be barely on the chart for he height . you can rinse they off and they dry in a jiffy , so they be great for travel and the pouch for catch food and liquid really help keep food off of he leg and clothes . they be plenty wide and plenty long and practically water proof without be vinyl . I believe they use the same fabric as they wet bag for dirty diaper so you know they 'll protect you kid clothes . they also make they in what I would call a smock , which I will probably buy when my son get old enough to start painting . I would highly recommend these . there be not much else out there like they . my only con on these be the velcro . my son can now pull they off because the velcro be not very strong . it would be nice if they make they with snap , but I can easily put on some snap myself . they be still plenty worth it as be ! +232 Baby NEG 1 after view the picture , I be excite about this baby hat . the pom pom look very cute , and the hat be say to be make of wool . its name also suggest that it be come from Korea . well , after wait for several week , I finally receive a small parcel with the sign `` China Post '' on it . I open it , and there it be . the hat be cover in some white stuff , which I think be some packing fluff at first , but it turn out to be glue fiber . who on earth would glue pom pom on a baby hat ? and glue they so that the glue -lrb- it seem to be the type of glue one would use with a glue gun -rrb- would go through the `` wool '' and actually touch\/scrape the baby 's head ? also , there be nothing here to suggest that it be , indeed , make of wool . I be extremely disappoint in this product and will try to return it , though if I be to pay for return shipping to China , I guess it stay with I . just look at the picture that I take of this hat , and do not bother order it . Update : after contact the company about a refund , I promptly receive they reply with a apology for the low quality of this product , and they refund I money that I pay for the hat -lrb- but not the shipping cost -rrb- . +234 Baby POS 5 I be a mother with 3 young child . my youngest be 8 month old and grab the spoon while I feed he mushy baby food . even though he always wear a bib , he clothes usually still get dirty . I wonder if any bib would actually keep he clothes clean . I have compare the Bumkins Superbib , the Babybjorn bib , the Bibbity bib , and the Bumkins Sleeved bib . with my first child , I quickly realize that use cloth bib and put they in the laundry after each meal be a terrible idea . they would get moldy and I have to own a dozen bib . then I switch to Bumkins Superbibs . they be very easy to use . I just wash they in the sink after meal and hang they on my bib dry rack . the bib be dry and ready to use again by the next meal . Bumkins Superbibs be lightweight and my baby never mind wear they . since the pocket be soft , they do not work well if the bib have be keep flat in a drawer . I always keep my superbib hang upside down by the pocket on the bib dry rack . so , the pocket dry in the open position and work better . my 3 year old daughter love to wear she Bumkins Superbibs and they be great for she but they do not adequately protect my baby who fling oatmeal . both the BabyBjorn and the Bibbity bib be SMALLER than the Bumkins Superbibs . the Babybjorn bib be make of hard plastic -lrb- like a cup -rrb- . it say `` soft '' in the description but that be just nonsense . the bibbity bib be softer , like rubber . the Babybjorn bib be difficult to put on the baby because it be so hard . even the neck strap be make of stiff plastic . I have great difficulty adjust the neck hole because it keep hurt my son 's neck . I never could get the hole small enough to keep food from escape onto the clothes below he chin . plan on baby cry the entire time you be fiddle with this bib . the pocket of the bjorn bib be great and always stay open . however , because the pocket be so rigid , it clash with the tray . my son sit on a chair that clip onto the countertop . the bjorn bib pocket keep get catch under the countertop and then it would yank my son 's neck . he really hate wear this bib . the BabyBjorn bib be super easy to wash in the sink . it be easy to dry with a towel so you do not need a bib dry rack with this bib . the bibbity bib be much better than the BabyBjorn bib . it be softer and feel like rubber . it be awkward to put on at first and my son be mad . however , he get use to it . I be able to get the neck hole small enough to keep most of the oatmeal out without hurt my son 's neck . the pocket stay open pretty well . the pocket do work better than the Bumkins Superbib pocket . the bibbity bib be about 1 inch shorter than the Bjorn bib and be 2.5 inch shorter than the Bumkins Superbib . so , some food still end up on the child 's lap . the bibbity bib be very easy to wash in the sink and dry with a towel . I think the bibbity bib work a little better than the Bumkins Superbib overall because the pocket catch more . however , my 3 year old daughter refuse to wear the bibbity bib , and say it hurt she neck . she love to wear she Bumkins Superbibs . UPDATE : now my son be 13 month old and refuse to wear the bibbity bib at all . it be too heavy and uncomfortable . unfortunately , all 3 of these bib leave way too much food spill on my 8 month old 's clothes . if you have a baby who eat mushy baby food and grab the spoon , a regular bib just do not give adequate protection . so , I buy the Bumkins sleeve bib . it be great ! it cover everything , even he lap ! he could feed himself oatmeal and he clothes be very clean afterward ! the sleeved bib be very easy to clean too . I just wash it off in the kitchen sink and hang it on my bib dry rack -lrb- which sit next to my kitchen sink -rrb- . the sleeved bib go from drip wet to completely dry in 2 hour . since , the bib dry fast , I use the same sleeved bib at each meal . this way I only have to buy one . in conclusion , I recommend the Bumkins sleeve bib for any baby who eat pureed food . when they start on finger food and become a little neater , the Bumkins Superbibs and the Bibbity bib be good . the bibbity work a little better than the Bumkins Superbib but you child might think they be uncomfortable . I do not recommend the Babybjorn bib . sorry , Babybjorn . I love to wear my baby in you carrier : -rrb- UPDATE : my son be now 13 month old . he refuse to wear the bibbity bib at all . he also pull off he Bumkins Superbibs , throw they on the floor , and laugh . I put he in the Bumkins sleeve bib for every meal . he do not mind wear it and he can not get it off . it also do the best job of keep he clean . I wash it in the sink after meal and hang it on the bib dry rack . it dry in about 2 hour . I use the same bib all the time . I put it in the laundry every few day . here be a link to the dry rack I be talk about Mommy genius dry rack -- Dry or Display just about anything -lrb- Baby Bibs , Plastic or Reusable Food Storage Bags , kitchen Dish Towels , Bathroom Hand Towels , Washcloths , Mugs , Sports Water Bottles , Herbs , Mittens , Children 's Boots , Lingerie , Holiday Orname ... +520 Baby POS 5 Works well on tiny foot too !! I wish I would have know about these sooner , but really glad I try these . try they ! +191 Baby POS 4 overall , we be quite happy with these bib . we have three of they , and use they daily . they be very waterproof , and the long sleeve be great for keep clothes clean . additionally , they have cute\/fun pattern that we enjoy . however , I do have a couple of complaint : 1 -rrb- durability - some of the bib be hold up better than other , but in general they be start to fall apart on the stitching in some place on the edge , especially on the back where the tie be . 2 -rrb- size - we daughter be in the 95 % for height\/weight . yet , these bib have a bit over-sized neck hole , make it difficult to tie the bib around the neck tight enough to keep food from get on the neck of she shirt . in order to tighten they with a sufficiently small opening for the neck , we end up pull the material itself into the knot in the back , rather than ust the tie string themselves . this obviously contribute to the degradation of the stitch around the tie . +358 Baby POS 5 this swaddling sleepsack be the best . the velcro on it be SUPER STRONG . I highly recommend this to those that be plan to swaddle or have not have luck with other swaddle product . I love that Halo make a fleece one and a cotton one . +26 Baby POS 5 excellent for sleep baby . we use it every night . Easy to put on . Easy to zip . Great for wash daily . +85 Baby POS 5 I have wash they so many time already and they be still in great shape , and they keep the moisture away from my dd chest and cloth . +281 Baby NEG 1 I wish I have read the one star review before I buy the spoon from Amazon . the spoon will not work well with the dish washer . after a couple use , the soft tip melt and can not be use any more !!! end up throw all of they in the trash . +23 Baby POS 5 after get a new vehical with leather seat I figure I need one of these . it fit perfect and take the grunt of my kiddo crawl around , and spilling juice : -rrb- +932 Baby POS 5 I use Avent 4 both my kid . it be great ! I recommend it to family n friend and most change to avert and stick with it ! +214 Baby NEU 3 we buy this along with a teething ring when we son start cut he first tooth . he grandmother have give he a Sophie and that be by far he favorite chew toy . he favor the teething ring next and practically ignore the razberry . I would personally recommend Sophie Le Giraffe over the razberry because it have a bunch of nub -lrb- horn , ear , leg -rrb- for the baby to hold onto and chew , it squeak and we son prefer it best . however , every baby be different with different preference . +318 Baby POS 5 it be great for travel solo . it be awesome in plane with aisle large enough to fit both luggage and carseat . +92 Baby POS 5 buy this before baby have arrive for a friend and I be worry if it would be way too big or too small but fit he to a `` tee '' ! +497 Baby POS 5 this swim diaper be not bulky like some of the other . it be soft and thin and with wash gently and a hang dry they have not fade and have help up wonderfully ! +377 Baby POS 4 I be just one of those lady that refuse to dress she kid in outrageous foo foo outfit . so my solution ? this simple bib on top of a simple white outfit . that way my baby be comfortable during the christen and even during the reception . +221 Baby POS 5 she love it ! durable , safe and easy to hold on to . have to buy a couple more as reserve . a + . no baby should be without one of these ! +337 Baby POS 4 as long as you handwash the bib after each use , this bib will last a long time ! they be cute and easy to clean . I also like how big they be - less mess miss the bib . +733 Baby POS 4 I nurse my son with the original Boppy for a year . yes , it be wonderful and everything the other reviewer say . however , my issue be that it begin to `` bend '' in the middle from use . really , this be fine ... I mean a year of nursing be go to be hard on any pillow . but my main complaint be that the cover they make for these thing be not waterproof -lrb- or spit-up proof -rrb- . what be the point of a cover ? I have to wrap my entire boppy in saran wrap , then put the cover on to get any protection nd prevent smelly stain . just my two cent . +33 Baby POS 4 I like these alot , they be a bit smaller than I expect for some reason . mmy son like they and I feel they be a developmental toy staple for he age group . they be bright and he always grab they when play . I prefer wood or cloth toy to plastic so I love that these be soft and crinkle and have tag . +196 Baby POS 5 this be a excellent product , and create a nice ambient for the baby to sleep . good quality and the best price . be a nice gift for expect parent : -rrb- +353 Baby POS 5 I have this brand of bib in the bigger size for my son . it be great at catch everything . he will even reach down in the bib and eat what have fall . I be thrill when I see this bib come in a smaller size for the first feeding . Wish I have this size with the first child . like another commenter say , I also have use it for a `` table '' in the car seat while we travel . Easy clean up and can be put in the wash machine . ca not wait to get this in the mail so I can start feed the baby rice cereal and not ruin cloth bib . great product ! +62 Baby POS 5 i purchase a Dr. seuss outfit for baby first birthday as he party theme . be Dr. seuss . he weigh 25 lb so i take 24 month . he have a little bit room . he look adorable . i purchase on amazon . very pleased . +723 Baby NEU 3 I love these burp cloth , I be so excited to receive they as a gift off of my Amazon.com registry , still love they , but I do not receive what be in the picture . instead of the awesome blue paisley print , I get one with blue and red stripe , which I do not really care for . not sure why this happen and they be a gift so I do not want to go thru the hassle of return they and try my luck to get the right one . they be still great ` handmade ' style burpy and the other two be adorable . but only 3 star for disappointment : -lrb- +828 Baby NEG 1 the bowl be fine , but the suction do not work for even a minute on the smoothest plastic . definitely would not buy it again . +391 Baby POS 5 my daughter be the last in she preschool class to be potty train . she just be not interested . she be so into Dora , so Santa put these in she stock to motivate she . it work ! my daughter be excite to put a sticker on each step and follow it to a tee . she be completely potty train within the week . she preschool teacher be so surprised when she return from break and want to know the secret . I tell she about the Dora sticker from Santa and my daughter beam with pride . it be a great motivator for she , especially since Dora be she favorite . good luck ! +393 Baby POS 5 my husband and I order this for we daughter when she be 6 month old . she and we love it . my husband be able to put it together in less than a hour -lrb- he be not the handiest at assemble thing -rrb- and it withstand a beating from we daughter for month before she be too big for it . she played\/chewed\/pulled \/ yank on all the attachment on a daily basis , never get too bored . she be not too interested in the overhang bar piece , but she love everything else . we be give a couple other additional piece to switch out periodically ; she love all of they and really give they she all . none of they wear out or break !!! once she be too big to fit in the seat she would still walk around the outside playing with the attachment . also she would use it as a jumper\/jumperoo at time and it still withstand she energy . we would definitely recommend this item . all the piece be really cute as well . +640 Baby NEG 2 I buy this diaper cover to use with we cloth insert . after she pee , we have to change the whole diaper because she feel wet ! I will not be buy this product again . +709 Baby NEG 1 this be a crappy junk chair !!! make cheap and be too low to fit onto the chair ... so if you be think of take the tray off and put it up to you table ... do not bother with this one . . you get what you pay for and the reason this be cheap be because it be a cheap seat !! +428 Baby NEG 2 I buy this after my second child be bear to protect we car 's seat from the child seat . I have the original thin Prince Lionheart from my first child and love it . this one be so bulky with the build in lip that it get in the way of anyone have to sit next to it in the car . also , the two part design cause so many problem as it constantly come undo cause the top portion to slip down -lrb- thus defeat the purpose of protect the seat -rrb- . it do catch spill , but the original thin seat saver do too and actually do a better job . I have just recently move the original one under my younger child and discard this one altogether . I will look for something else to put under my older child 's seat . I do not recommend this product . +27 Baby NEG 1 my son be very skinny and only 23 lb . I measure he and he should have easily fit in the small size . unfortunately , even on the largest snap , the Smalls cut into he skin on he leg . I order the Mediums and they be still tight on he skinny leg . to add to the problem , the two time he have pee in they , they have completely leak all over he pants . we have now spend $ 80 on pants that do not fit and do not work . I highly DO NOT recommend . +125 Baby NEU 3 these bib be very cute and protect baby clothes well , but they shrink significantly even just the first time I wash they . now they be 9x11 inch and only 6 inch from neck to bottom of the bib . they still work okay , I be just a little bummed that they be not as big as they be before . +865 Baby POS 5 help for three star over there : the big yellow snap snap onto the other big yellow snap . then the little white snap snap to the other little white snap . go ahead and try ... I be sure you can do it ! see , that be not so hard ! there be no other bib that come close to the usefulness of this one . +127 Baby POS 4 I love this little sack . Snuggly and warm and adorable . we use it as she first Halloween costume and it be perfect for chilly October evening . my only complaint be that it run a bit small -- ours be size 0-6 month and it barely fit she at 3 month and she be on the small side . particularly , the hat be super small . she have a little pin-head -lrb- 25th percentile circumference -rrb- but the hat just barely fit . so be careful if you have a big-head baby . other than it run a bit small compare to how it be label it be a fantastic product . +633 Baby NEG 1 note : now there be a recall on medelum power adaptor too I own both the medelum pump in style advance and ameda 's purely yours pump . Ameda 's pump be better than medelum . see below . I do not use my medelum pump at all despite have waste about $ 300 on pump and spare part . I be a work mom so I pump a lot with baby # 1 and be do same with baby # 2 - already have a freezer full of milk . why ameda be superior to medelum : 1 -rrb- no mold growth - milk can not get into tube . see below . after I find mold on my medelum pump I go out and buy a ameda pump right away . 2 -rrb- about half the price as medelum if you just buy the pump and not the bag etc. . 3 -rrb- the ameda pump be easily freestand , also have nice slot on the pump to hold you pump milk in bottle . if you remove the medelum pump from the backpack or bag you 'll see the pump casing - the medelum pump have hole in the case around the pump so you do not really want to take it out of the bag - and nowhere to put you pump bottle so they do not fall over . FYI Ameda pump have last since 2008 with pump daily 5 days\/week -lrb- I breastfeed baby # 1 for 18 month -rrb- and it be still go great - I be use it again now . Medela know about the milk in the tube problem - in fact there be instruction about this in the booklet that come with they pump . well , I get milk back up in the tube more than once despite follow the instruction in the manual . then I have to stop pump and dry the tube out . no more pump that day as I do not have spare tube . and , to my horror , despite run the medelum pump for a couple of minute after every pump as per instruction , and dry out the tube if they get milk in they , I open the faceplate of the medelum pump one day and find mold grow on my medelum pump . that be it , I buy a ameda pump and have never go back . +427 Baby NEU 3 love the fitted top sheet ! and the sheet be `` soft enough . '' I mean , maybe they could be softer , but my 2 years-old tell I she have a very `` comfortable bed . '' and they wrinkle , but they be sheet so the wrinkle come out when you put it on the bed . my complaint be the pillow case do not really fit a normal pillow and be too big for a small -lrb- toddler -rrb- pillow . and the comforter could be a little bigger . it do not actually hang as low as it show in the picture and it do not reach from the foot of the bed to the head . it reach to she neck , which be fine , but it mean there be no room to tuck it in so it do not stay on as well as it could . -lrb- she be very squirmy in she sleep . -rrb- +788 Baby NEG 2 we really try to like these bottle , but it still leak . we buy these ring think it be the problem , but no success . +708 Baby NEU 3 this burp cloth be indeed soft but I be not blow away by it . I have not use it yet though ... it be comparable to other burp clothes I already purchase . +775 Baby POS 4 well be nice touch , be very colorful and have a soft texture that be essential for all child , be high quality product . +655 Baby NEU 3 I really like the color of these blanket ... vibrant and not pastel like so many other . they feel fairly soft and the quality seem adequate . they definitely be not big enough to use as a swaddle , but as a lightweight blanket , they 'll do . +559 Baby POS 5 the fleece halo swaddle sleep sack work very well . the fleece be very warm , it be easy to unzip and change baby in the middle of the night and the swaddle really help the baby sleep better and provide extra warmth . highly recommend . this swaddle sack be soooo much easier than use receive blanket . +129 Baby POS 5 we love thirsty diaper cover . they fit we baby well and we almost never have any leak or blowout . Super easy to use , even Gramma like they ! +209 Baby POS 5 these look really cute in she hair and be well make . I will be order more in the future for she . thanks : -rrb- +18 Baby NEG 1 cute graphic . but so cheaply make after one wash the neck ribbing rip at the seam . do not waste you money . +639 Baby POS 5 we have three of these and they have save we leather . they help keep the leather clean from spill since they have a lip around they and they have save we leather from any indentation . I would highly recommend they , they be worth the money . +486 Baby POS 5 we be a Halo Sleepsack family , both my kid -lrb- 28mo & 6mo -rrb- wear they . this one be particularly cute . +774 Baby NEU 3 ok , like other reviewer have say the suction be not that great ; it hold well for a little while but it have to be on a absolutely clean and dry surface . if there be the slightest bit of moisture , grease , food residue etc. on the surface , or if anything get spill around it and get around where the suction cup meet the surface , it will not hold - so it be not really very effective on high chair and stroller tray . a determine toddler -lrb- like mine -rrb- can quite easily find the little release tab on the base and you know how they be , once they have figure something out once they keep on do it over and over and over and over and over ... however have say all that the rubber base do stop they slide about even if they be not adhering to whatever you be try to stick they to and they be much more stable than regular plastic bowl . they also have quite high side compare to normal bowl which make it that much harder for tiny learn spoon coordination to flick the food over the side . they come with very tight fitting , secure lid which be good for take along or , if you be go through that oh-so-fun fussy eating stage you can just seal the untouched meal and toss it in the fridge until next time . it be also nice to have the versatility of three different size for the variety of meal -lrb- and leftovers -rrb- small child seem to generate . all in all I be quite pleased with these & glad I buy they even though they turn out to be not so useful in the intended way . +366 Baby POS 4 this be a great sleeper -- warm , do not wear out -- but be aware the size be huge . I buy the early Walker XLarge for my 18 month old , think it would be a bit big but he would wear it into he 2 . this thing be so big that it be too large for my 3.5 year old ! the size description -lrb- even on Halo 's own website -rrb- be misleading , so I would advise purchase a size smaller than you think you would otherwise require . +648 Baby NEG 1 great idea but wiggle everywhere when I attach the car seat . even the most strong carry on still can not make it stable enough +883 Baby POS 5 I use this when I be with my baby to EC he -lrb- I let he other caregiver use regular diaper as they do not EC he -rrb- . these diaper be adorable , of course , and very easy to use . just unsnap\/unvelcro the side and flip the front of the diaper back . Baby be ready for potty ! when do , simply flip the front panel back to its place and revelcro . I love that they fit for a long time because they be make to be adjustable -lrb- you can snap the belt that keep the diaper on baby 's waist at various place , make it expand as he grow -rrb- . there be various website where you can purchase a larger variety of design -lrb- and size -rrb- in addition to what be available on Amazon . remember that the one with design be non-waterproof , make purposely to feel when baby have pee ! the solid color be nice for when non-waterproof be , um , less acceptable : - -rrb- +345 Baby NEG 1 this product should be recall . it be sell base on the premise of reduce sid by use it as a blanket . my husband and I be horrify to check on we child in the middle of the night -lrb- we movement monitor even beep to say he have stop breathing -rrb- and see all this material bunch up around he face !!! I be angry , and feel guilty for trust the claim of this product . -lrb- I just see that two other reviewer say the same thing on other color version of this same product -rrb- . I love the idea of this combo sleepsack\/swaddle . however , it be easy for a child to work his\/her finger out at the bottom of the swaddle arm - at least it be for we child . if you child can break out of other swaddle -lrb- which most of my friend kid can -rrb- then DO NOT USE the SWADDLE PART of THIS BLANKET ! how do be get mess up ? I put we child in the sleepsack\/swaddle a second time so I could watch -lrb- supervise -rrb- how the material end up bunch up . even with a tight swaddle , and the swaddle arm velcro would as low as they will go on the back of the sleepsack ... if the child bend they leg up at all , they finger can start to feel the bottom of the swaddle arm . then , the baby can work they finger and arm out from the bottom . the result be that the swaddle part bunch up around they neck and face -lrb- even with the little tab in the back secure -rrb- . recommendation : Halo should add velcro and\/or snap on the front of the swaddle arm to attach it to the sleepsack to keep it in place . use the `` swaddle I '' blanket instead for a safer swaddle option . there be less material , and the baby 's leg actually pull down on the swaddle , so it keep any loose material away from baby 's face if the baby manage to break out . -lrb- with this halo sleepsack\/swaddle , the baby 's leg do not help pull down on the swaddle arm -rrb- . +439 Baby POS 4 this be the first time I try the Thirsties Diaper Cover and the gusset really help to keep the leak in . you do need to change the diaper often becuase they will not keep leak in for long but that be par for the course if you be go the cloth diaper route . overall , the deign of the cover make it very easy for a quick change . +16 Baby POS 4 my son absolutely love this mobile . he 'll stare up at the face of the little creature -lrb- a lizard , parrot , monkey , and bug -rrb- and giggle like crazy , it be hilarious to watch . what I really love about it be that it be super bright and colorful ; my son have no trouble focus on it at 4 month old . it be also easy to put together and simple to attach to the crib . the music box part play 18 minute of classical tune and its volume setting seem adequate to I . the mobile portion be detachable for when baby do not need that bit anymore , and the music box have a nightlight -lrb- not too bright -rrb- which have prove useful . all in all I love this product and definitely recommend it . +917 Baby POS 4 order this item for my 9-month old . it be adorable and very well make . my baby be not very interested in it . she do not seem to like the feel of it . +408 Baby POS 5 this be the best bib I have ever buy . they be large , have a big pocket to catch food , and very colorful . the print be really cheerful . when I put it on my 2 year old she say , `` pretty '' . I love the fact that you can open up the pocket for easy cleaning . you will not go wrong buy these bib . +75 Baby POS 4 I buy this sleep sack as I be look for something cotton and breathable as a alternative to fleece -lrb- = sweaty baby -rrb- . the product itself be very nice , soft and truly breathable but heavy at the same time . unfortunately the zipper be a flimsy plastic little nothing that should not be place on a baby product . after about 2 week of usage it open up -lrb- the zipper blocker on top come undo -rrb- and I find my kid 's lower body completely out of the sack as he be a wiggly sleeper and get himself out of it . it really scare I . anyway , I write to Aden + Anais describe the situation and be tell to send a photo and product series number . I receive a new blanket in the mail a couple day later ; however , despite the customer service representative 's explanation that the weak zipper be not a standard , the new blanket have exactly the same tiny plastic zipper . I do use this sack from time to time as my son be 9 month old now and I be less concerned with sid but I still do not understand how a product that be suppose to be upscale can be so unsafe . I compare the zipper on Aden + Anais with a cheap Halo and the Halo sack have a much sturdier zipper . another thing about this sack that be not so great be the fact that the fabric be very delicate and will rip and pill easily so I recommend wash it separately . anything with velcro -lrb- like a lonely bib bury in a pale of laundry -rrb- will absolutely ruin it . I would normally give this product 3 star . the fourth one be for the fact that I be give a new sack after e-mail the company . +25 Baby POS 5 these bib be on the pricey side , but so worth it in my opinion . they be incredibly soft and very absorbent -lrb- one bib can last all day - even for a mega-drooler -rrb- . best of all , they do not look like a bib ! +192 Baby NEG 1 be excite for a good , well design brush ... the major flaw be the wire neck . when I try to clean the nipple with it , it bent 90 degree . useless . +725 Baby POS 5 this costume be great . it fit my 3.5 month old very well . he seem very comfortable in it . the fabric be soft . the hat and shoe fit well . +969 Baby POS 4 they do a good job of keep wipe warm and moist , but they can turn pretty brown . the direction warn of this , especially if you use wipe that have thing like Aloe or scent . but it be nice for the middle-of-the-night diaper change when a cold wipe would have make everyone 's night a bad one ! +293 Baby POS 5 my 19 month decide he didnt like the bumkin bib he be be use for the past year one day so i have to get something else . I be debate between this one and the baby bjorn but the summer infant one 's price win I over . the BB one be too pricy ! anyway , no regret . the item be exactly as describe and my son wear this while eat . I be amaze at how its perfectly `` catch '' the food he miss with he mouth . overall happy with it . get the blue one . +222 Baby POS 5 my son be not too sure at first because this item do not `` work '' like a normal pacifier , but once he realize he can chew on it , he love it !! it be easy for he to grab the handle on the back and chomp on any part of the item . he be 5 month old and learn to grab thing so this be a nice safe thing for he to work with . +407 Baby POS 5 my daughter love Dora and these sticker help keep she motivate to potty train . I like how there be a different sticker for each individual activity instead of just go pee . that help she understand she need to wash she hand as well as use the bathroom . +626 Baby POS 5 I give this sleep sack to everyone have a baby . we get it as a gift when we daughter be bear and it be one of the baby item I could not live without ! with the velcro strap , swaddle the baby could not be easier . this be a huge plus for a squirmy baby , particularly in the middle of the night when you want to get back to sleep , not spend 5 minute try to swaddle a squirm baby . another great thing about it be that you can remove the swaddle wrap . this be good if the a baby decide they do not like be swaddle , you can just have the sleep sack and if they outgrow the sack part , or the season change and you want they in less layer but they still want to be swaddle , you can use the swaddle wrap on its own . I also like the fact that the zipper zip from top to bottom , so the zipper pull be not up at the baby 's face . a MUST HAVE !!!!!! +484 Baby NEU 3 the parent organizer be just ok - it carry 's some thing but be not the best organizer but not sure if they could make another one for this type stroller . but I need it and use it - so it work . +521 Baby POS 5 I love these soft-tip infant spoon ! I do not have to worry about my baby 's lip get cut or anything because the edge of these spoon be super soft , and the spoon itself be small enough to fit in a infant 's mouth . we have no trouble use these spoon , and they be easy to clean . but just FYI , certain food can leave stain on the blue spoon and purple spoon . but the other spoon seem to be just fine . +686 Baby POS 5 we buy this sleepsack to take with we when we visit relative in colder weather . Baby seem to love it . we have to only dress he in a long sleeve onesie b\/c it be so warm . I wish they make this in a v-neck or lower neck version . all of the sleepsack tend to creep up on the little guy and we keep have to pull it down so it do not go over he face . +233 Baby POS 5 my newborn son be bear in 36 week , he weight under 6 lb , so he have very thin bum , most diaper cover be too loose on he or fit awkwardly . although this thirsty cover design for 6 lb and up , it can really fit he snugly without be uncomfortable . I love the feature that you can fold the velcro and it will attach inside the diaper and the diaper will be wash unfold . I will order more soon ! +394 Baby POS 5 I be look for bottle to replace my DR. BROW bottle ... ... ... I hate DR. BROWN BOTTLES B\/C of all the CLEAN up of all the piece . so I decide to go with these anti colic one ... SO far they work great ! +638 Baby NEG 2 I just order this and it be go right back . my 2 year old , be below or average height and pretty skinny too and the bag be still too small . he do not have much leg room width wise either . it be a good light weight sack if you order one size up for you tot . too bad mine be too big for it . i really want to like it . update : i order the merino wool kid 2-4 for my tot and it be PERFECT . pricey but perfect . lot of leg room and it be snuggly warm . +11 Baby NEG 2 I get these lock because I do not want my son pull all the stuff out of the kitchen cabinet all the time . but they would not work with the way we cabinet be build and when I put they in drawer , they be pretty easy to pull off with just the adhesive . and two break when unsuspecting relative give they a tug think something be stick in the drawer\/cabinet . I be impress by the mechanic of how they work , but in the end it be just easier to put the non-child-friendly item out of reach . however , if you have a drill and the time to put they with screw - and you cabinet have the right size lip inside and the drawer be snug , it might really be what you be look for . my advice - get a couple and see if they work before buy into the whole system , which be what I do . +296 Baby NEG 2 this bib be probably my least favorite and most seldom use . the `` special milk-catching design '' be just bulky under baby 's neck and do nothing to stop drip . the `` waterproof inner layer '' admittedly do save baby from get wet after one bottle malfunction , but it mean the bib feel kind of stiff . I be a lot happier with a thicker material bib instead that feel nice to touch and can be bent and fold as require . I would not recommend this to anyone . +544 Baby POS 5 I get this mobile as a Christmas present for my grandaughter who love to be carry . she love the music & watch the leaf move & most importantly it allow mom & dad to have a break to do chore without she cry to be pick up . I also love that when she outgrow the mobile it turn into a night light . +249 Baby POS 5 we use this to put we shampoo , and all bath need in include back scrubber . we place it in the back of the tub so while shower we have all we necessity accessible . very helpful and better than suction cup holder that always slip off the shower wall . the Bath Storage Basket solve we problem . thank you +485 Baby POS 5 this be the second one we buy for we son . it be big as the other review state but it work well . Sleep sack be a great way to keep you child warm at night without the risk of they suffocate on a blanket . +746 Baby POS 5 I get this for my son and while no bib will ever catch every single little thing , this one do really well . I like that it be easy to clean as well since it be all rubbery , I do not have to wait long to reuse it . +581 Baby POS 5 this be a great sleepsack for warmer weather . I purchase this for the end of summer\/beginning of fall and it be just the right thickness for the season . +823 Baby POS 5 I want something that I could shove in a bag , use in a restaurant or use in the car . this thing rock . +910 Baby POS 4 i have one of these a aunt make I with my first child and i pass it on be i prefer those bib that you can rinse and easily dry in the sink but with my second child i find that he would not ever keep abib on and i get sick of change he shirt three time a day ... so i pay $ 18 for two of these bib . kinda spendy but i could not live without they . they be the only bib my 12 month old will keep on . my only wish be that they be that same material that you can rinse in the sink bc i feel like i need a dozen of these to stay on top of have a clean one . +773 Baby POS 4 other comment that manufacturer recommend against put anything between the baby seat and the car seat . for we , this seat saver do not increase the movement of the baby seat in the least . after three year of use this , the car seat be still unblemished and the seat saver have hold up very well . +594 Baby POS 5 love it . Super soft , and great gender neutral color . very easy to take on and off baby . Wish I could get it in a bigger size now that baby be get older . +431 Baby POS 5 I use another , less expensive pump for about 3 month ; it die so I buy this one . it be so much more comfortable ! it be a little bit slow , so if that matter to you that might cause a issue , but I pump much more milk than with my other pump . I think for the price , this be a excellent purchase . +108 Baby POS 5 love this change pad and the Summer Infant naturally Yours change Table Cover -lrb- sell on Amazon -rrb- fit perfectly ! I highly recommend this cover to go with this pad ; I try other that be suggest and have to send they back b\/c they be too small -lrb- b\/c of the length create by the side at either end -- the summer infant cover be 37 in . long , so it work with the side -rrb- . the pad be great -- high quality and fit my antique dresser just as I have hope . +239 Baby POS 4 everyone ask I where I get this . lot of people have the Joovy stroller , not so many have the organizer . it be a great place to store key , phone , wallet , etc. , but not so great for a drink . the cup holder be kind of floppy , so I find that drink tend to tilt and drip when they be in it . I wind up use one of the regular pocket to hold a drink - it be more upright . the `` drink holder '' be great for key , cell phone and camera . +120 Baby POS 5 Easy to clean and very cute . this be a very durable soft bib that catch food , do not catch like velcro . +628 Baby NEG 1 I be excite to buy this after read all the positive review , but my baby do not enjoy this teether and I be not even sure it be safe . the `` berry '' part seem to be glue onto the ring part , and even after boil it it have a peculiar smell . my daughter take one nibble and screw up she face as if it taste bad . I throw it away . +95 Baby POS 5 snuggly soft , give I peace of mind that she stay cover all night . we have use this brand of sack since she get out of the arm-wrap swaddle type , and it be now time for the next size up . it be as awesome as I expect . +656 Baby POS 5 it be a little thicker than expect so we may just use it during winter as we live in TX but the quality be awesome ! very happy with purchase ! +612 Baby POS 5 this sleep sack be great !! it be very thin . I love it because I can dress my baby in he regular jammy and not worry about he get too warm . if it be warm out , he wear this sack with less clothing underneath . it be really work for I . after many use , and lot of roll around , it tear a bit at the shoulder . I sew it up ; no big deal . the pattern be so cute too ! +658 Baby NEG 2 let I start of by say that I have exclusively cloth diapered my daughter with Grovia 's hybrid diaper line . I be a happy Grovia user and can not say enough about they diaper . we cotton soaker be start to wear , but I think this be completely in line for the material ; what would you expect if you wash anything else make out of cotton as many time as you wash you diaper ? I need to add some new soaker to we stash and I be tempt to try these . they be extremely soft . I be thrill to try they and think we might just buy a bunch more . BUT every time I use they my daughter leak . mind you , I prep these as direct ; I know exactly how to fit the hybrid to my daughter ; and it be extremely rare that the cotton insert leak . it seem like these just wick the fluid rather than absorb it . I wish I would spend the money on the aio or more cotton - both of which product be great . the only reason I give these 2 star rather than 1 be that the insert be very soft . +834 Baby POS 5 my baby love it . I could not find a single item he like to chew on besides he hand . I be get frustrated . I be so glad I buy this . he love it . he chew on the berry part and the handle . it be perfect size for he to hold . my baby love the pacifier and after I receive this item in the mail I think he might confuse they , but he do not . I be so glad I purchase this item . +647 Baby POS 4 this be a comfortable breast pump that perform just as well or better than a Medela Symphony . we choose a dual breast pump for convenience and this unit do not disappoint . the comfort for mommy 's nipple be the advantage here , plus the pump not only pump the nipple area but express the breast like a baby would . the pump memory feature be a big plus too , you can adjust the strength and speed of the suction . the only knock that we have with the unit be that when put the breast pump down after pump , the bottle can tip over . just use the lid to hold the bottle or have some cup to put the bottle in after pump . the other thing be that there be alot of part to sanitize , but after a while you learn to disassemble\/reassemble pretty quick . it be worth the trouble though , comfort to mommy and performance outweigh this minor inconvenience . pro : - incredible value - mommy 's comfort - adjustable setting with memory feature - perform the same or equivalent to medela version con : - too many part to clean\/sterilize - bottle can tip over if you do not use the lid to hold the bottle after pump in the end , we would definitely make the same choice again , even with the con . I hope Philips will make the bottle holder for the next gen and use less part . : -rrb- +176 Baby POS 5 I originally have swaddle I 's and I be get frustrated with they . decide to try these and I wish I have these to begin with ! they be the BEST swaddle ! defintiely get Halo Sleepsack Swaddles , they will not get out of these ! +37 Baby POS 5 I be hesitant about purchase this pump after read a number of negative review . I absolutely love Avent 's bottle though , they have be a godsend with my colicky baby , so I figure if they bottle be so wonderfully make , why would not they pump be great as well ? I decide to give it a try and love it . it be so comfortable . do not even hurt one tiny bit . I get way more milk out of it then I ever have with the Medela manual pump , as well as the Medela single electric pump . just to clarify as well , with all the negative review with the Avent pump be leaky - of course it will leak if you do not put it together properly . take the time , read the direction , and you should have no problem . it leak from the petal insert the first time I use it , because I do not seal the insert to the base all the way around -lrb- you just simply pinch it together with you hand -rrb- . after realize this , it never leak on I again . I can not breastfeed my son , so I pump for every feeding , and I always use this pump . I have wash it many a time , and it be be so durable . plus , it be incredibly easy to clean , you can get into all of the crevice . unlike the Medela pump that have tiny tubing , which i be not even sure how they expect you to clean in there ? one last thing , i have read many comment about it be loud and squeaky - just make sure the pump handle and what it attach to be completely dry . Dry = no squeak . +796 Baby NEU 3 this be a cute doll with lot of tactile simulation , but not lot of education . soft to hold and touch and even to sleep with . +478 Baby POS 5 I pick this sleeved bib because it be reasonably price . I already own a bib with sleeve so I know what a great idea this product be and well worth the money . I be curious about how this brand would hold up to the standard . the two bib be well make and large enough to last through toddlerhood . best price for the quality ... worth get ! +414 Baby POS 4 this pad fit in the Radian carseat perfectly . I use this for my potty training son . luckily , he have have no accident yet in the seat , but he have spill juice . it do contain all of the juice that be spill . I feel that it would work just as well in the case of a potty accident . this be a great investment if you be look for a carseat insert that fit snugly -lrb- with the radian -rrb- . I would recommend this item . +671 Baby NEG 1 just like the other have say , the cushion on this potty get so nasty . it just absorb any fluid waste . just plain yucky . and you can not use the potty without the cushion ! I have try soak it in bleach water , but who want to do that every day ? the bleach break down the cushion make it feel sticky\/gummy . bad , bad , bad . +766 Baby NEG 1 I own one of these sleep sack for my infant son , and I love they so much I decide to order one through Amazon . I do not know if the stock be different , but the medium that I order be way too small . my son be 16 pound and I can barely loop he arm through the arm hole . he be a pretty lean baby , so I doubt that body shape be a issue . besides , the other one that we have -lrb- and that we order through a different site -rrb- be great -- there be still room for he to grow into it , which be how it should be , consider that the weight range be intend to be from 15-24 pound . it be too bad , because we really like aden + anai in general . +990 Baby POS 5 we get this cover to protect we seat in brand new minivan ... it be hard to see my son just kick fresh and clean leather : -rrb- . . but this cover do the trick , stay in place all the time , and be transparent make it to be really invisible ... if you have toddler and little kid and care about keep you seat clean you must have this product . +609 Baby POS 5 this be the best bib and now it be the only one my 17-month-old son want to wear . it be easy to clean , dishwasher safe , stay on when properful fasten , and the design ALWAYS catch fall food . my son will even snatch the food out of he bib to eat it when he notice it be fall . only downfall be that it also catch liquid and sometimes he will fold the bib up -lrb- he like to tuck it under he chin for some reason , I think so he can get a better view of he high chair tray -rrb- , so it spill out . this be a must-have bib if you have a lively baby\/toddler who like to assert his\/her independence when eat . we friend who do not have one marvel at this bib whenever they first see we son use it . make for a lot less mess and faster clean-up . +635 Baby NEG 2 these bowl be a good size for my son -lrb- 10 month when I buy these -rrb- -- the large one for meal , smaller for snack . but the lid be very hard to get on and off and the suction take he all of about 10 seconds to get loose . not so great . +78 Baby POS 5 we have not purchase this item , but we be borrow one from some friend . from the first time we put he in it , he love it . he get a huge grin on he face and will jump in it for about 15-20 minute nonstop before he start to get tired . I have nothing bad to say about it . the harness seem very safe and secure . I highly recommend this product . +783 Baby NEU 3 Super cute and great length . but pretty tight on the leg . and no my baby do not have super fat leg . +404 Baby NEG 1 I hate these bowl . I be go to return they . the lid be super hard to get off and the suction do not work at all ! sometimes I can get the bowl to stick for a matter of seconds , and I can not get they off . then my son reach over and pull they off with no effort at all . if these be wash in the dishwasher and the suction cup be touch anything during the dry cycle , it will become deform and ruin any chance you ever have of it suction . I would not recommend these to anyone . +42 Baby POS 4 I purchase this product for my daughter in the Peach color size 1-2 year . the color be definitely more of a light tangerine more than a peach in my opinion , but it be very pretty . it be a high quality , very durable design unlike some other pettus rompers I have purchase in the past that fall apart easily . but unfortunately I have to take off one star because the sizing be a little off in my opinion . I purchase the 1-2 year size and at the time when my daughter wear it she be wear a size 18m and it barely stretch enough to fit she . there be no way this would fit she if she be wear a size 24m or 2t . strangely , the strap be way too long . they keep fall down so I tuck they in to the top . also the fabric be not very breathable at all and she be very itchy because of the elastic and lace . next time we look for pettus rompers I 'll be check out the chiffon and satin one instead of the lace one . +953 Baby POS 5 I search for coverall bib . they be very hard to find . I purchase these and be very impressed with the quality and style . will be buy more . +673 Baby POS 5 I have see and use many tub toy holder over the year as a nanny , prior to become a mother . I know come into this mommy-gig that I would be hard press to find a holder I would like . most use suction of some kind and the suction , I have find , hardly ever stay put . I suppose folk like have the toy up and off to the side somewhere to save space , but if the tub you be use this in be primarily the kid ' , then that be not much of a concern . even if someone want to take shower , just move the basket to the other end . I like that thing have more space to air out and it act a little bit as a block device to keep baby hand from the shampoo and bubble bath . it be as sturdy as any of its counterpart , but I would not suggest a baby hold him\/herself up with it . overall , would buy again and recommend . +976 Baby POS 5 this be a good quality product and the design be soooooo super cute ! I be go to order another pack because I love they so much ! +644 Baby POS 5 I receive this as a baby shower gift from my aunt and I absolutely love it , as do my husband . the music be not loud but it be not suppose to be , it be after all a device to get you baby to go to sleep . I be glad I ignore the bad review about the sound because that turn out to not be a concern of mine at all . it be so easy to assemble , take I 5 minute and it be do . I love the Bach , Beethoven , Mozart and Rainforest sound option - my favorite be definitely the rainforest though , very soothing . the ` fuzzy ' leave open and close and the leaf with the animal attach spin around slowly . this will definitely put any baby to sleep , it be so comforting and soothing . I would give this product 10 star if possible , I love it . it also go perfectly with we jungle theme baby room , it add the final touch to the room and it look perfect . I highly recommend this product to any and everyone . +101 Baby NEU 3 although these spoon look colorful and cute it be hard to use they to feed young baby . they be too curved and it be hard for young baby to completely remove food from the bottom of the spoon . I imagine that these could be use for liquid food but they be not as good for puree for witch I recommend use flatter spoon . +872 Baby POS 5 this teether be the prefect size for those little mouth . ergonomically design to soothe you Baby 's gum . highly recommend it . +49 Baby POS 5 I buy these after obsess over they when my friend come over for the weekend and be use they . I love the a+a swaddle blanket but these be even better . completely reversible with great pattern and one simple snap . can be use as a traditional burp cloth , a bib , lay across the nursing pillow while you nursing , lay under infant after feed for a subsequent spit-up to save a couch or even use as a caplet . i have receive a number of compliment on the product and have order 4 of they ! +227 Baby POS 5 these bib be by far the best I have see . Super easy to clean up , comfortable for baby , and cover\/catch everything . I be buy they as gift now for all my friend with little one ! +317 Baby POS 5 I be give my first Bummis cover as a shower gift from my sister-in-law . I have find that these cover work great on my little girl . she be not a extremely heavy wetter -- I use they with prefold and add a diaper insert if we be go out or a doubler if she be wear it overnight -- I have never have these -lrb- or the Bummis super brite -rrb- leak urine . it be hard to keep breastfed poop in any diaper -lrb- cloth or otherwise -rrb- 100 % of the time , but I be happy with these for that as well . the velcro tab be a bit scratchy if not attach correctly -lrb- have to show DH the irritation on she belly so he would pay attention to the angle of the tab -rrb- but they overlap for a customize fit , which be very important in prevent leak . my daughter be average to slender build so these cover work well for she . I have buy several more so I can air they out every other change . I like this print the best because it be gender neutral and will work if we have a boy . dd be almost do with this size and the diaper be still in good shape for future use , unlike the Bumkins cover that she wear in the previous size . well worth try for you baby . +826 Baby POS 4 these be great for when it be too warm for fleece sleeper , but too cold for no blanket . my only complaint be that even with closely follow the care instruction , we XL cotton sack seem to have shrink considerably . it just barely fit my 20-month old length-wise even though she be in the 50th percentile for height . even so , there be a gap in the market for product like this one , so I would consider this one to be a must-have . she will not keep a blanket on herself , so this be we only solution . +52 Baby POS 5 this be sooooo cute ! would definitely buy again ! cute and functional . lot of cute color to pick from and great style . +646 Baby POS 5 the cotton Halo be perfect for warm summer night . I have wash it -lrb- cold water -rrb- and dry it -lrb- very hot air -rrb- dozen of time , no problem whatsoever : -rrb- +384 Baby POS 4 this be a all around fun teethe product . my son love gnawing on it when he gum be bother he and I love watch he ! the rippled silicone texture be awesome for chew but be careful , it also have a tendency to pick up any fuzz or lint that come off blanket , sweater , teddy bear etc. . . I find myself have to wash it off every time it leave he mouth . aside from that , it be great - we have several ! +613 Baby POS 4 these be perfect little spoon for first time eaters\/babies . they be perfect size for little mouth with long handle for moms\/dads . I since have move on to more toddler spoon , but these be still around in those rare occasion i run out of the other . +719 Baby POS 5 I really love the product , and my grandson , also love it ' I be very pleased , very convenient and very user-friendly , just what I expect , thanks +997 Baby POS 4 it have help my son sleep better thru the night and the sound be very soothing . +661 Baby NEG 1 upon receive this organizer , I be first disappoint with the quality . the cover be a milky transparent plastic - similar to a tupperware container - more than a clear plastic which the picture indicate it would be . I read the box instruction on cleaning - `` dishwasher safe , top drawer only . '' pop it in the dishwasher to clean , and when the cycle be complete I reassemble the box . the top cover be warped and now the box can not seal properly , which be part of the reason why I buy this container . seem to I like I have some pricey junk on my hand . +193 Baby POS 5 my 15-month-old do not like bib , this be light weight and like clothes so he be glad to wear it . the front pouch catch food and easy to clean . the sleeve have tight elastic to prevent he clothes from get wet -lrb- it be a little too tight that it leave red mark on he wrist but I think that be why it work . -rrb- overall I love it and highly recommend it for baby who do not like to wear bib . +190 Baby NEG 2 in general , I love aden + anai . I have they burp cloth and swaddle blanket , and I have be very happy with both , so this sleep bag seem like a perfect purchase for the summer . however , after just two or three use and two wash , I find a giant hole in the bottom where the fabric have pull apart at the seam . the muslin itself pull apart -- not the seam -- so it be hard to fix with a sew machine . at the time I use this , my baby be almost seven month old but not yet roll around a lot when she be in the crib , so she do not subject the bag to any abnormal wear and tear . the four layer version might be sturdier , but also heavier for the summer . we live in a temperate climate without air conditioning , so have a light bag for the summer be important . unfortunately , though , the single layer of muslin do not stand up to any use . +41 Baby POS 4 wonderful product and better with my baby who be teethe . do catch a lot of the drool . +155 Baby NEG 1 the sleep sack be way too large for a 22-28lbs baby . if you do buy this item by a size smaller or you will be dissapoint . a 4 yr old could fit a large ! +892 Baby POS 5 these mitt be worth the money . they be so soft and stay on my 3.5 month old daughter 's busy hand to keep she warm at night ! I would not waste my time\/money buy anything else . I put these on she as she be fall asleep and tuck the end into she sleeve . they stay on all night . they also wash up very well . great product . +98 Baby POS 4 I buy this doll when my daughter be a year old and she like it ! it be very cute and soft , and have little ribbon tag on top of the pea pod and a orange ribbon tag on top of the head , like hair . the bottom of the pea pod have a little squiggly fabric-covered elastic thing . I can see younger child like those feature to chew on and touch . honestly , my daughter prefer she stuff animal to this doll , but she do carry it around once in a while and I have see she hug it . I rate it four star just because it be not she favorite toy , but the quality be excellent . it be a great toy if you child like doll ! +754 Baby POS 5 what a great little sleep and play set . the material be wonderful feeling and it be very comfortable to we little one . I get it look for more Organic PJ 's not care about the color for we little girl , , ... and now it be one of she very favorite . love this brand !! +986 Baby POS 5 very nice product . bought multiple pair . velcro adjustment allow you to tailor the fit . reversible so you can see diff pattern . keep from scratch . prompt shipping . would recommend this product . +798 Baby POS 4 I think I should preface this review by say that I be a first time mom and have no other exersaucer related experience with which to compare this to . nonetheless ... what I like : - it be not as obnoxious look as some of the red\/purple\/every color in the world exersaucer that I have see - it have little foot that click down to make it more sturdy -lrb- something I do not realize until a couple of day ago and be very happy to discover -rrb- - the music be not obnoxious - it be very good for tall baby . my little guy have to stand on a pillow to use it , but my 9 month old nephew be here today and use it on the lowest setting and the ball of he foot just touch the bottom -lrb- which be how it be suppose to be use -rrb- . my sister be amaze because they have to use they exersaucer on the highest setting and he foot still touch flat foot . that be nice because we 'll be able to use it for longer . - it really do bounce well -lrb- which my nephew demonstrate -rrb- . maybe other 5 month old can get it go , but my little guy have not figure out that it can do that yet , though he can spin the seat around . what I do not like as much : - my nephew show I today that when you really get it bounce , it be really loud - my son be at a age where he really like to put thing in he mouth and there really be not much he can do that with on this . I have to put other toy on it so he can suck on they while he look at all the cool stuff the exersaucer have to offer . I think he 'll be able to reach the toy better when he be bigger . so far , I be really glad that this be the one we end up buying . we do get it on amazon for 79.99 though , so i be not sure why it be 20 dollar more now . maybe shop around . +524 Baby POS 4 it be fine but i find another one i like better so i be send it back to little loved one +895 Baby POS 5 my guy love 's he sleepsack . I be excite to find that they make bigger size so my man can keep use these . the fabric be so soft on this one . I really like the subtle design and unique color . +802 Baby POS 4 my baby love it . the music it actually play do not go with the composer , but my kid will not know the difference . it be still work even with all the hand wack it get . I wish that they would make it so that it would not mess up my wooden crib . maybe like a soft material other than plastic that would protect the crib from get all scratch up . +724 Baby POS 5 well my nephew adore baby , and after the hundredth time of he fight for my daughter baby doll he mom and i decide to get he one . -lrb- he be still young enough to grow out of the phase we say -rrb- after i open the package and he see it I know i should have order more . it be so cute and soft , just the right size for a 2 year old . all the little kid like it older sibling as well because he sister immediately go online to look for a pretty pink one for herself ; -rrb- he like to snuggle with it and take it out of it be bag , it be like a little sleep blanket . +361 Baby POS 4 I like these because my son just pull off the velcro one , but the head hole be really big , so the collar of he shirt can still get dirty easily . +178 Baby POS 5 I pump 3 time a day at work use my Medela PISA , but want a manual pump for occasional use at home and when we travel . I be skeptical because of some of the negative review I see on here , but this little pump have work perfectly every time . I be able to get about 7 oz . within 10 minute -lrb- about 5 minute per side -rrb- . that be about how much I get from my Medela pump after 10 minute while pump both side at the same time ! I 'll come back to update if I ever have problem with it , but so far so good after use it occasionally for about a month now . +617 Baby POS 5 buy these for my newborn she have large finger and the gerber newborn mitten be too small . these be large she can open she hand . the material be also very soft and color be neutral +705 Baby POS 5 these be go to go great with my daughter Pink & Lime ladybug tutu outfit for she first birthday ! I also purchase a pair of pink converse . the shipping be fast ! +461 Baby NEG 1 as pretty as it be , the size be completely off . this 18 month romper do not even fit my average size 11 month old . have to return . +481 Baby POS 5 I buy this for my baby granddaughter for Christmas . she mom like it because it keep she baby warm without use a blanket . nice product . +454 Baby POS 4 I like that this bib be very thin and flimsy . it make it convenient to bring along when we be on the go . it keep my son 's clothes clean and dry . it retain smell after handwash more than other pocket bib I have try but it be good as new after a spin in the wash machine . +148 Baby POS 5 these spoon be great ! the long handle be perfect for feed , particularly early on . initially , I think the spoon part be too deep , but actually it fit great into my daughter 's mouth and make it easier to feed more liquidy food . now that she be start to use spoon to feed herself a bit , these be not as easy for she to use , but I definitely recommend they early on . +60 Baby POS 5 do the job it be intend to do ... what we like about this particular product be that it have `` 4-sided wall '' where most other product only have 3 . +721 Baby NEU 3 size on the label be `` 0 to 6 month , '' but should be 6 to 9 month in my opinion . no newborn could possibly wear this , it be just way too big . I order it for we 2 month old to wear on Halloween and be shock when the giant outfit arrive . it be very cute though and the packaging would make it a great gift for a older baby . very disappoint to have to send it back . +995 Baby POS 5 I get these cute , adorable mitten for my little guy a few week ado and they be such a steal . we recieve they when we be suppose to , and I be worry a little worried that they may be too rough , however , be pleasantly surprise by how soft they be ! I get one of the simpler design , and will definitely get more : -rrb- thanks for the friendly service and great product ! +659 Baby POS 4 this wearable blanket be soft and strong . I only wish they also make these with long sleeve and with organic egyptian cotton . +715 Baby POS 5 great burp cloth ; one side be terry , while the other side have a print . the set come with dot , stripe , and a-b-c . good size and thick , but not too thick . +89 Baby NEG 2 purchase THIS for a 5 month old who be DRULLING A LOT . he like put it in he mouth BUT WOULD not chew on it . +786 Baby POS 5 I highly recommend the halo sleepsack swaddle . every new parent should have one in newborn size . get it before he or she arrive , so you save yourself a trip to the store in those first few day ! for the 2 day in the hospital and the first night at home , we swaddle we little girl in receive blanket -lrb- try waffle weave , thin & stretchy , thick & strong type of blanket -rrb- . well wrap she in blanket do not last long because she get out of they , and with she arm flail she keep wake herself up . not to mention , I lose sleep worry if the suddenly loose blanket would suffocate she . after the 1st night at home , we stop by baby r Us and buy 3 different brand of sleep sack . we end up try this Halo Swaddle Sleep sack , and the summer infant one -lrb- we do not even try the swaddlepod . just look scary , so we return it -rrb- . well the summer infant swaddler be really cute . it work for the first little bit , but when she get \* a little \* bigger -lrb- like a few week -rrb- , the velcro stop hold . either she get too big , or after a few time in the wash the velcro become useless . I think it be a combination of both . as for the HALO Swaddle , she have be use it every day and night . my quicktake on the item : sid prevention : I have no concern with this item , no more than any other general concern I feel for my baby all of the time anyway . yes , sometimes she be able to loosen the tight wrap a bit , and it come up above she mouth . however ... this can happen with any sleepsack or receive blanket . plus , if it be come up a little higher then it be looser . it be not tight over she mouth -lrb- as some reviewer have claim -rrb- we own sleep : every once in a while , my husband think he would wrap she in a receive blanket ... he be incredible at swaddle , but she could get out in 10 minute . we have never have better sleep than with this product . it be rare that she can get out of it . this be a baby that kick and flail constantly . Appearance\/fabric : the fleece factor be not my favorite . if you have ever own a fleece jacket , you will know that it attract every hair , fuzzball , what-have-you in the vicinity . it be also quite warm . obviously we have ac , but during the hot hot summer we keep she in tshirt + sleepsack . for this reason , I do not always feel comfortable put she in she cute footie pajamas . now that we be hit fall , i be able to put she in regular pajamas when use the sleepsack size : she be bear 7 ' 2 '' and 20 inch . the newborn size last we till now at 10 week . she be currently 10 ' 2 '' and 22 inch . I be back to order the small size because she foot be about to hit the bottom of the blanket . Quality of velcro : it have be through several wash , and I see no difference in the velcro 's ability to hold . unlike the summerinfant brand . we always try to remember to close the velcro before wash . other review : -lrb- 1 -rrb- mention of loop in front - I do not see these 2 -rrb- claim about lose tooth ? - I have no idea how this would happen . the zipper start at the top and come down so the pull-tab end at she foot , so how a baby could cut she tooth on the zipper I do not know . many pajamas have zipper so I do not know how this be any different . +522 Baby NEG 1 I purchase this bib because the concept be great and the design be so attractive . but like other have say , only one side be laminate and so mold and stain develop and be impossible to get out . for a relatively pricey item , this be a huge disappointment . I have to toss it out and would not recommend it . +940 Baby POS 5 1 . they be long which be helpful 2 . they be bright color which be fun and get baby 's attention 3 . they be all plastic , so they be safe for baby to use on they own -lrb- no metal like other spoon -rrb- Love they ! +30 Baby POS 5 I think these spoon would be good , for the price . these spoon be great , despite the price ! they hold a good amount of food . I do not have a issue with they be backend heavy . but I would change that the backend of the spoon be pointy -- my daughter love to put that side in she mouth & if we be not very diligent , poke herself in the back of the throat with it . +878 Baby NEG 1 these blanket be so thin and they look really cheap . I guess someone could use they for burp clothes instead . +352 Baby NEU 3 this be harder to get together than I have anticipate . I never do get it to slide all the way where it would fit straight on my bath tub so it be sideways and it work just fine that way I guess ... consider my 2 year old just want to sit on it . +674 Baby NEU 3 first time mom over here , buy these because they be pretty and , hey , I need burp cloth anyway . these be pretty small . bigger than a typical washcloth , but not a whole lot . plus , the fact that they be only absorbent on one side suck when you baby spit up they whole meal , fountain style , and you be scramble to clean she up . thing you learn as a new mom ... +119 Baby POS 5 I like it ! despite of what most review say about it be flimsy once bottle be on . I actually do not have a problem with it be flimsy and the turntable be not a problem as well . I have only use it for a month so far and it be hold up fine . right now i dry 3 to 4 5oz -lrb- wide -rrb- bottle , breastmilk storage cup , handheld breast pump part and a scrub brush on the rack . I do not think it be make cheaply and hold quite a bit . +160 Baby POS 5 great product ! it really proctect the back of the seat . it fit perfectly . I would recommend it to all my friend . +174 Baby NEU 3 con : the worst thing about this change table be the toxic smell ! I do not think that I have ever buy anything for household use that have such a strong chemical smell , and honestly , I be shock that this be acceptable manufacturng for infant . while my husband assemble the change table , there be a chalky white residue from the paint all over he hand . we plan to set up the change station in the bathroom , and good thing as I would never set this up in the nursery with such a obviously harmful odor . you might want to stay away from buy the crib if this be important to you as you child will spend much more time in the crib than on a change table . this be a assumtion ; I can not be sure because I do not buy the matching crib . perhaps it have more to do with the white paint than anything else , so maybe the other finish be better . I recommend either place it outside to off gas or in a well ventilate room for a period of time before use . this be say , I do not think that you can really expect much more from the price point which be why I give 3 star . so while I be not really surprised , I be disappointed . I be expect some off gassing , but this be realy strong ! hopefully it will dissipate quickly . pro : it do appear to be durable enough for its purpose , although I be not count on the wheel last because of other review . it provide adequate space for storage and seem to meet we need well . the main reason why I choose this product be because it be a afforable alternative to a more expensive chest of drawer , and a good option if you want a change station in you bathroom . Update : the odor do infact dissipate rather quickly , about a day . +903 Baby POS 5 it be very cute , yes , but also well make and very soft . fit best on a 6 to 18 month old I would say . velcro and soft terry cloth . look just like the picture . +926 Baby NEU 3 supposedly spin , but you have to use both hand and force it . so far , be work fine for lot of bottle \/ little part as well as my pump part that need wash . we be currently use 4 oz . glass bottle -lrb- and it be fine -rrb- , but I bet it will be too flimsy to handle 8 oz . glass bottle -- which I will be switch to in the next few month . if that be the case , my rating will need to be downgrade to 1 star . +678 Baby POS 4 very nice quality material , great price and fast shipping . I buy this for my 1 year old boy and he seem comfortable in it . +939 Baby POS 4 I have 4 of these seat saver in various color -lrb- gray and tan - no black -rrb- . I have almost no complaint about these , they do they job . my only gripe be one that I have see mention in other review here , and that be that the back section do not come up high enough ... nowhere near as high as most carseat . as a result -lrb- depend on the carseat you use -rrb- there could be some mark leave on the back of you seat . as for the rest of my review , these seat saver do a great job . they be make of a semus hard rubber material and no matter what the base of you carseat be like , it will not damage or dent the bottom of you vehicle 's seat surface . many of the other brand be just fabric and foam and I feel like some carseat would press right through when anchor down tightly . Might as well use a old towel if that be the direction you be think about go in . a add benefit be these tend to catch a lot of drop snack and cereal and will contain anything spill on they . that be a plus ! as for some of the complaint I have read here , anyone who say that they kid ' carseat move around too much with these seat saver be simply not anchor they carseat tightly enough . I have 4 of these seat saver and have use they in 3 different vehicle over the last 4 year and none of my carseat move . if you find you carseat move around they be not tight enough ... ask someone to help you tighten they . I have never see any discoloration as a result of use these , though I have only use the tan and gray version on tan , gray and black leather seat . I suppose it might be possible for the black seat saver to discolor a lighter color fabric or leather . I also see a review that claim the seat saver stick to leather and destroy the seat . I have never see this happen in 4 year , though if I have to guess base on my experience , a child probably spill some juice on the seat and it eventually `` glue '' the seat saver to the seat . my advice ... clean up spill quickly and clean underneath you kid ' carseat regularly and you will be fine ! +577 Baby POS 5 Lamaze ` Mittens the Kitten ' be really cute and a perfect toy for a infant\/toddler . make a great gift that will be enjoy for quite some time and sure to be pass down . I have purchase a good number of lamaze item such as this and have not be disappointed yet ! +937 Baby NEU 3 it be ok . the pul be kind of thin . i have not use it yet but I be sure it will work fine . +816 Baby POS 5 I purchase these to wipe off my daughter pacus when it get dirty and they be perfect for that , but they be also perfect for wipe dirty face , and mouth after eat . these wipe be a great size and I love the many use for they . I feel better use these on the kid face over the one with chemical in they . I highly recommend these wipe for kid of all age ! +591 Baby POS 4 I love the fact that these bib help to keep milk out of my baby 's neck fold . I have be use it as a " underbib " to the larger waterproof bib when feed she cereal as well , and it really protect she clothing from get dirty around the neck . I just order more , because day care say that they love they as well . one disappointment that I have with this product be the velcro . it do not seal as well after be wash , and the scratchy side of the velcro have leave a rash on my baby 's neck . I wish that all velcro be the kind that do not feel rough if you rub you finger over it . I do not know what it be call , but some of the bib that we have receive use it , and it be fantastic ; do not cause the same issue that this standard velcro do . +47 Baby POS 5 be great for the baby not able to trick or treat . . the bib be of good quality material and the stitching be do well . +333 Baby POS 5 Perfect for twin . Perfect for a single child . I use it for bottle and for all my pump supplies . we have one for my sister when she visit with the twin . both rack fit in a nice small space in a corner of countertop space . do not try to sterilize the rod that run through the top and bottom rack unless you have a pot large enough . hot metal and plastic do not mix . the rod will warp . great product . +850 Baby POS 5 I buy these same bib at buy buy baby for $ 2.50 more so I be excite to find they for less on Amazon . they be great for baby who have defeat all velcro bib like mine . it also be absorbent and double as a wash cloth because it have a terry cloth back . the neck fit over my baby 90th percentile cranium , but it do not lose its shape and gap at the neck like many other pullover bib I have buy , and I have be use they for about 6 month . +900 Baby NEU 3 not the softest fabric , silly cute but waaaaaay to giant its latterly Cover my son its almost like a half blanket ! n my son be not that petite so that mean that this bib be really big ! +894 Baby POS 4 my daughter be almost 10 month old and I have another pump that have serve I well since I go back to work when she be 4 month old . I use that pump 3 time a day at work and over the last month think my supply be drop . a friend recommend that I switch pump because she think my breast might be get `` use to '' a certain pump . I do not know if this be true or not . I swap out all the part I could in the other pump , but I be still able to express plenty after a normal pump session . today , I try this pump for the first time and my output double from what I pump at the same time yesterday ! yesterday , I pump about 3 oz total in one sit , today i pump almost 6 ! three thing I do not like about this pump . first , there be about double the part to clean and disassemble versus the other pump I use , a Medela . second , I be not sure I like the activation . you hand pump a few time to `` show '' the unit how you want to pump , press the blue button and it mimic you pump speed . I like to turn it on and forget about it . third , I wish there be a battery pack so I could take this with I overseas . it work like a champ and it be comfortable , though ! +587 Baby POS 5 they be so cute , but not only that , they be thick enough to absorb the mass amount of drool and spit up baby create ! : -rrb- +346 Baby NEU 3 the color do not seem nearly as bright as they appear in the picture . what I think be pink , be actually a red color . I purchase it for my soon-to-be daughter , but end up give it to a friend who be have a boy instead . overall , it be a nice bib ; I just do not care for the color as much as I think when purchase . I get it for a great price though ! +205 Baby POS 5 this be a fantastic product and I highly recommend it . we recently transition from swaddle we little one to use this . he basically outgrow the swaddling and be get he arm free within seconds . it seem he like he arm loose , but of course we want he leg cover to keep he warm . on the other hand we be still afraid to use a blanket because he be still a bit young . this sleepsack be we answer . we use it with long sleeve onesy and it keep we little one warm , cozy and safe . the material be soft after a few washing and the construction be solid as well . buy this product without any fear . +400 Baby POS 5 do not expect they to prevent blow-out . but what will ? the last as long as they need to , then the baby grow out of they . +684 Baby POS 4 this be a tough decision for I . I absolutely love the color and design of this outfit ; however , the material be a bit thin . so ... 5 star for the adorable factor and 3 star for material grade . overall score ... 4 Stars . I opt to hang dry this one . if I do throw it into the dryer , I will turn inside out and dry on lowest temperature to preserve the bright color . +606 Baby NEG 1 I order this in the Vanilla Bean and it be scented and taste bad !! you can taste the scent ... I know because I `` chew '' on it ... no good !! I be so disappointed . however my 7 month old love it so I will be exchange this for a non-scented version . if not for the bad taste -lrb- and how can that be good for my child ?? -rrb- I would have give this 5 star . +819 Baby POS 4 great product . use they for my 9 month old . awesome bib for feeding , great quality . could be a bit bigger but decent size for this age . +999 Baby POS 5 great product , just as describe , make sure you have a really deep spacious change area as it be big , which be not a bad thing . nice and cushy for baby , it come with bolt to bolt it down , which for premy I see no need for , but maybe in the future . I be still think about that , do not know if I want to drill hole in the top of the dresser when it be later go to be use as a toddler dresser . but ... that be say I be very happy with this , glad i do not buy the cheap wal-mart one ... no comparison !!!! I would recommend this to anyone look for a really nice change pad ... and thank you to the seller WOW that be the fstest shipping ... order April 9 , daughter recieve it on the 11th ... she have identical twin girl so it will be get alot of use ... +665 Baby POS 5 the pompon actually help the scarf fit and stick around the neck while be extra cute ! and it be super soft . my one-year old love it , too . +759 Baby POS 5 I live this robe it be the cutest little robe I have ever see its perfect and sturdy I looooce it +967 Baby POS 5 I order these for my 6 month old and I like they . the orange part detach from the stainless steel if you want to heat the bowl in a pot of hot water . I find it convenient . I see other review where a few be complain that the fork say `` make in china '' and the letter come off . I think that all that be petty when you think of the large picture that this bowl set do not contain bpa , lead or other harsh harmful chemical that the plastic do . I personally have not have the letter come off of the orange covering . I be glad I do not base my decision on those other review . I put they in the dishwasher and they still look fine to I . I recommend these . +801 Baby POS 4 they be adorable . but I send they back because they be footy for baby , not footy with baby lobsta on they -lrb- although they do have lobsta on they -rrb- . +582 Baby POS 4 first , I should say , I be the dude in this happy family , but I have do all the research on this and my wife have be the ` milking cow ' -lrb- she word -rrb- . the pump be relatively easy to use and be effective . it be compact and have enough suction that you will not want to run it a MAX power . the only real complaint for this pump be that it be loud . functionally speak , this unit be as good as Medela 's hospital-grade Symphony . it use all the same plastic cup , tube , valve , and bottle as do the Symphony ; the only difference be in construction of the mechanical pump itself and the interchangeability of the diaphragm -lrb- the plastic ` lung ' that create the suck action -rrb- . we be give use of the Symphony at the hospital , at the time of birth , and as far as we can tell , the pump action be nearly identical to the pump in style -lrb- pi -rrb- . they both use a 2-phase suck action : at first a shallow suck to stimulate milk flow , then after a few minute switch to a deeper sucking to draw the milk . there might be other minor difference in pump action , but no more than the variation expect from person to person . it take about 10-15 minute to pump my wife dry with either of the model . we be tell by the lactation consultant that the Symphony be better than the pi because the `` Symphony be hospital-grade , '' but as far as we can tell , she just assume it must be better since it be ` hospital-grade ' . compare to the pi , I think the factor that make the Symphony a ` hospital grade ' be that the diaphragm be interchangeable -lrb- to minimize cross contamination with multiple user -rrb- , it be waterproof -lrb- so that it can be immerse in water for cleaning -rrb- , it have better environmental seal -lrb- for use in high oxygen , -lrb- i.e. flammable -rrb- environment -rrb- , it be very durable and it be quite . while all of these be nice feature , it do not change the effectiveness of the pump . I think the Medela PIS be a smartly design and nice styling , and if you plan on carry it around with you , the pi be a excellent option . it be not super compact , but the penalty to portability have more to do with all plastic hardware -lrb- cup , funnel , etc -rrb- and less to do with the pump . the pi even come with a option to operate the pump with a set of aa battery -lrb- which we have not test -rrb- . unfortunately , the pi be loud -lrb- reasonably so for a portable , consumer-grade pump but loud none the less -rrb- , which mean that if you go to pump at work , everyone will know exactly what you be do and when you be do it , even behind closed door . if that bother you , you can buy the Medela 's Freestyle pump which be suppose to be quieter , but I think a better , cost-effective solution might be to simply rent the Symphony ` hospital grade ' pump . I wish we know about this before we buy the pi , but many hospital will let you rent a Symphony pump for $ 40-60 per month . in the end , the total cost for rent the pump over 5-6 month will be the same as buy the pi , but the Symphony be so much quieter . of course , you will have to buy the plastic hardware -lrb- cup , funnel , etc -rrb- for about $ 40 , but if you be lucky like we , you birth hospital use the Symphony and will give you a set of plastic to use during you stay there and take home when you leave -lrb- just make sure to take all of the part , include the tubing and diaphragm -rrb- . the Symphony be somewhat portable , but if you plan on leave the pump at a remote location -lrb- like work -rrb- , it seem to I like the best solution . and in term get more value out of the pi over multiple baby , we have only use it for a few week now , but to I , the pi do not seem rugged enough to last more than 7-8 month , which mean you many have to buy one for each child . another point about the pi , if you choose to buy one , we have read that you should not share or use a use breastpump , due to risk of cross contamination . evaporation from the warm , pump milk will inevitably get suck into the tubing and down to the diaphragm ; the trap moisture could lead to growth of mold and mildew . this be why the FDA classify the Medela pi as a ` personal use pump , ' and the Medela 's Symphony , with its interchangeable -lrb- i.e. disposable -rrb- diaphragm , as a ` hospital-grade ' . but with the pi pump , you can remove the face plate -lrb- it be design to snap on and off by hand -rrb- and get easy access to the diaphragm . while the diaphragm itself be not removable , it can be clean with soap\/water and disinfect with alcohol . indeed , even if you buy it brand new , you should not assume the pump\/diaphragm be sterile out of the box , and you may want to clean and sterilize it before first use -lrb- and every once in a while -rrb- . this apply to the nylon sack and tote bag . with the pi , just about the only thing that be difficult to clean and sterilize be the nylon tubing , but you can purchase a new set for $ 10 . +224 Baby POS 4 my 4 month old boy love this . it really help to settle he and will watch it for a hour ! I wish it play for longer than 15 minute but there be a remote to restart it from the doorway . one downside be that I have to oil it ! it squeak SO loudly when turn I have to turn it off . still , it be fine since I oil it : -rrb- . +53 Baby POS 4 I really want something to hold baby down during diaper change . but he be so smart he will wiggle he way around and then crawl out . while it do not contain he as I would have like the pad be really nice and give he a soft landing . very comfortable to change he on . cover it withcarter chocolate dot change pad cover . +568 Baby POS 5 I have two of these diaper for my baby . they work great , and the pattern be so cute ! I especially like the Koi Pond . we do not really need a second swim diaper , but I see the pattern and have to have it ! now summer be come up so I guess I can justify my fashion choice . +96 Baby NEU 3 if you have a docile , calm child , this thing be probably great . unfortunately my 18 month old decide it be a surfboard of sort and immediately try to climb up and stand on it . he could have care less about he bath toy at that point ... and of course there be lot of cry when mom remove he new `` toy '' from the tub . so much for that purchase . anyway , i be sure it would be great for those of you with less completely insane kiddo !!!!! -lrb- anyone look to take one off my hand , cheap !?!?! lol : -rrb- +749 Baby NEG 1 these be def . the worst burp pad I have ever come across . for starter , they be tiny -lrb- not to mention that they also shrink ! -rrb- . secondly , after one wash only , they look as if they have be use a million time . the material be horrible - rough , fade and not smooth - I can not even let my baby put he head over these thing . in all , this be a waste of money and I would stay clear of they . +691 Baby POS 5 I order 2 b\/c I have twin . they be exactly what they be suppose to be and look nice at the boy baptism . +245 Baby NEU 3 when it be on properly , this cover do not often leak , be a nice color , and fit snuggly . however , by 18-28 lb. , my son be all over velcro like vulture to a carcass and unless the cover be secure under a onesie , and sometimes even then , I will often find the cover and insert down in one pant leg . the velcro do not require a lot of tug to loose , and if a diaper will not stay on , its effectiveness be lose . paired with the price , this cover have become a back-up for I and be a disappointment . +189 Baby POS 4 my 3 1\/2 month old love this sleep bag . it keep she nice & warm without the worry of a loose blanket . I would have give this 5 star if i have recieve the sleep bag in the print i have order . we order the fairy print , size small . we get a sleep bag with fairy print , but not the fairy print show in the picture . so that be dissapointing & quite confusing but none the less , we love it & use it every night . +619 Baby POS 5 I know this teether be more expensive than many on the market , but it be wonderful and completely worth the money . I have a couple different teethe toy for my son and this be the one I save for when he be really upset . it work so well . it chill quickly and remain cold longer than the gel toy . plus it be easy to clean and easy for he to handle . my only problem be the risk of lose it since he like to throw stuff when I be not watch . +714 Baby POS 5 the size run large , definitely closer to 3-6 month than 0-3 , but the outfit be absolutely addorable and worth every penny . +381 Baby POS 5 when I first browse through so many option of a dress table from brand , price , & store , this one be the perfect one for I . I be so anxious to receive the table and it come faster than I have hope for , even earlier than the estimate date . upon receive it and just to decorate it and roll it around with such convenience be just wonderful ! I can not wait to use it with my firstborn soon to be Alayna ! ; p +730 Baby NEU 3 these bib be definitely make very cheap . do not expect to last too long . it start fray after the first wash . they be not waterproof as they claim . +405 Baby POS 5 we buy these magnetic lock because we do not want to be bother with drill all those tiny hole for the standard bend-down latch . for that purpose , these latch be perfect - they really be that easy to install . just peel & stick . and if you prefer -lrb- or need ! -rrb- the extra strength , the kit come with screw . we buy we latch four year ago for the cabinet where we keep garbage , so it get open and close many time a day . we use they constantly for about 3 year , then just leave they in place -lrb- so easy - slide the little button and the latch disengage -rrb- when Kid one be old enough not to need they . now that kid two be get around , we slide the button back down and the latch be work as well as ever . they be still stick on with only the adhesive tape - we never use the screw . the magnetic key be quite easy to use . we keep it sit on we metal sink , right above the cabinet where we use it . handily enough , it will also stick right on the cabinet for time when you be right there and open the cabinet frequently . the plastic cover of the key do eventually crack and detach from the magnet . the magnet itself still work as a key , but be harder to use without the cover\/handle . also , any strong magnet will open these latch , so you be not SOL if you lose yours . which be handy because Kid one go through a phase where he think it be fun to hide the key ... my only real gripe with these latch be that you do have to have a magnet to open they . it can be a real pain when I have a handful of messy trash to find , pick up and use the magnet in order to open the cabinet . but hey , that be childproofing , right ? +74 Baby POS 4 this sleep sack come and I be shock at how large it be get a size down for sure !! we son wont be able to use this for month but it be soft and cute ! +328 Baby NEG 1 these mitten last about half a day . they be soft , which might be the only plus . the elastic stretch out so quickly that the mitten do not stay on my son 's hand and he wind up scratch himself . originally I be worry the elastic would leave a mark on he since he be a big boy but that be clearly not the case . I do not recommend buy this product . +727 Baby NEG 1 I wrongly assume that if this company would not allow I to select a color , at least they would send a gender neutral color ? not the case , I receive pink for my son . Green , orange , yellow , red ... all acceptable color for both little boy and girl . I would not recommend . Update : the lens pop out after the 2nd wear . terrible product that be not even worth the $ 7 I pay . +868 Baby POS 5 its silicone which , in my opinion be safer than soft plastic with no ingredient list . if silicone be recommend for bottle nipple then I cant see the harm in allow my baby to use it in this age of recall . its larger than a normal pacifier but thats good . it fill he mouth up and feel different from he bottle nipple and he other silicone pacifier . this way he wont be chew on the wrong thing . he slowly get use to it but will chew on it longer if I hold it while he chew . its simply not the size of a normal pacifier so he cant count on he mouth hold it in just yet . he only 5 month and be drool a great deal so im ahead of the game with this teether . also I have many plastic teether that usually come with a new bouncer or baby gym but throw they away . I plan to go organic as well with he other teether toy . I hope I can find a organic stuff toy with no dye . then I would feel comfortable allow he to chew and suck on it . the soft plastic teether be scary with all the toxic ingrediant that have recently come to light like philate which be use to soften plastic and be now know to be detrimental to baby . this finding be so new that there be little info online about Philates . I would not have know anything if I have not be watch a news program . so I be stay away from soft plastic generic teether , no matter how cute they look . I do recommend this silicone teether . Atleast I know the ingredient of what he chew on . +755 Baby POS 5 love this product . pure genius ! and people point and stare at we little girl chill in she seat through the airport everytime . so many people comment on this . we have a Britex Marathon and we 2 year old love she carseat , so we definatly take it fly because it keep she happy be in she comfy space on the plane . but lug it around would be a nightmare . these strap be SUPER easy to attach and a dream come true . I can check the stroller and do not have to worry . we can even attach she to the bag while she be asleep in she seat at the end of a flight . its that easy , and the harness thing can fit in you pocket . -lrb- we store it in the small pocket of the bag we attach she to so we always know where it be when we get ready for a trip -rrb- we have only take it attach down a Alaska Air plane isle , American we have to take it off and carry she in the seat , because it be two narrow , but that be she carseat problem obviously . its simple , its easy , and its strong enough even for a Britax . the only thing I personally would recommend , be 5 ' 8 with a hubby who be 5 ' 10 , be get a sturdy carry on size bag with a longer handle than most . the extra weight of more than the bag , have to bend a little to accomodate a short handle , be a little tax on the body , but that a easy remody . also a bag with good wheel not a cheapy one you have to fight with without the carseat on it . +15 Baby POS 5 I see this in a boutique gift store for over 10 dollar more than what this cost . I love this stuff animal , its so cute and unique . I get it for myself , not a baby ! +312 Baby POS 5 my hat of for the design . my loved one be suffer from Ezema and like to scratch she ear in sleep . after we start use these the flare have reduce a lot and I sleep with confidence . thank you for this design , be a life saver . they stay on all night and do not come off even when the baby try to pull they . +761 Baby POS 5 this product be outstanding ! we use it to take we 2 year old and he car seat across the country and it work like a charm . it even allow we to take we son off a airplane and through a airport sound asleep ! he enjoy he `` stroller '' and would ask to ride in it as soon as it be hook up . it be a breeze to hook together and be a easy matter to take apart and reattach for security check . it be important to note that it only work with a latch system car seat . Ours be a older Britax Roundabout and it work perfectly . we be ask several time by airport personnel , other mother and random people where we get the product . over six year and several trip with we child , we have try a car seat bag -lrb- the strap break -rrb- and a back-pack strap thing -lrb- then we still have to carry we child or a stroller -rrb- and both be outrageously expensive and very disappointing . this inexpensive product be a true find and I intend to tell every parent I know travel with a car seat all about it ! +66 Baby POS 5 this be the third one of these we have have . we daughter be 19 month old and we will be sorry when she out grow this product . it keep she warm and cozy and can not come off during the night . she seem to really like it too ! +576 Baby NEU 3 this beautiful suit -lrb- purchase for baptism -rrb- be adorable ... however the bottom button -lrb- diaper access -rrb- have button hole that be too large to keep the button close ! mess up the pic , but will make the correction myself ... should i send you a bill for the seamstress modification ? +822 Baby NEU 3 my daugther do not really have a problem wear bib ; but this one she fussy over . the wrap around the neck part be a little stiff and be not very comfortable ... but they do a great job of catch food and be easy to clean up . maybe we will try they again when she be a little older -lrb- 7mth try they -rrb- . +970 Baby POS 5 I own 4 of these diaper cover which I pair with a prefold and fleece liner . I do not personally use these for night time diapering - I use 2 prefold with a homemade wool cover . my 6 month old , 15 pound daughter wear a medium size cover which have ton of grow room - which be how I want to buy it so we would get multiple month of use out of these cover . I really can not say enough good thing about these cover . we have not ever have a leak with they ! they also contain poop very well . great cover , great price , great performance ! +171 Baby NEU 3 pro : we love the look of this bassinet . it be quite large but blend in nicely in we living room . the extra feature be great . the diaper holder and change table be a excellent idea and we use it downstair in we home instead of drag the baby up and down to do a change . the vibration and music be a nice effect as well . con : the vibration unit seem to have trouble work unless you lift up the mattress and jiggle it . this be very frustrating when you be try to get a sleepy baby down . it work just fine to begin with so I be not sure if all unit have this problem or not . I wish the `` cup holder '' be a little bigger , you can throw some small essential in they but not blanket or anything large . also the wipe case be great for a few wipe . we leave it stock with some in case but mostly just use a large container place in the bassinet for everyday use . lastly , I wish it have a move mobile the way some Graco bassinet have , its not essential but would be a bonus with the other feature . overall the look and use of it as a secondary system be wonderful . +706 Baby NEG 1 I buy these for my 4 month old twin . I do not understand why other say they be waterproof . absolutely not ! milk and\/or drool go right through ! +374 Baby POS 5 pro - simple , comfortable , clean , seal . con - volume not accurately measure -lrb- but that be okay . measure before you pour in -rrb- +551 Baby POS 5 I really love this basket . my two small child love to put they toy back in the basket when they be do with they bath . the toy dry easily and the basket be very durable . I would definitely recommend this basket . +84 Baby POS 5 we have use these halo blanket for many year . we daughter be almost 2 and prefer to sleep in she sack instead of a blanket . plus , it help to keep she from climb out of the crib ! +871 Baby POS 4 OMG -- possibly the cutest thing I have buy for my little . he be a big boy , though , and , unfortunately , these pajamas purchase for he at about 8 month be quickly too small . +600 Baby NEU 3 I like everything about it & its a good size the only thing I do not like be that the little white plastic stick that hold the bottle be not strobg there all cheapy . . that be if yuh want to dry glass bottle . if you only use plastic or intend to use it for plastic only then this be for you +764 Baby POS 4 this be pretty big , and we honestly have not get that much use out of it as we daughter roll around a bit too much to like sleep sack now . that say , it feel like great quality , have wash up well , and be a good weight for summer sleeping . +803 Baby POS 5 we use these for we first child who do not like to be swaddle . now with we second , we be try to figure out how to use they but still swaddle she -lrb- she be too big for the Halo sleep sak swaddler -rrb- . what we have be do be put a light long sleeve onsie on she then the sleep sak then the swaddler and it work great and she have not be get too warm -lrb- we be use the cotton sleep sak . +844 Baby POS 5 these fit 2 one year old perfectly for a dr. seuss theme halloween costume & will be use again at christmas . the girl seem comfy in they & they wash well without shrink . +282 Baby POS 5 I have use both first year and Lansinoh bag with this organizer . I find the First year bag to not fit as well as the Lansinoh one . this be fine with I , since I preffer the Lansinoh bag anyway . the organizer itself work really well for I and save a lot of freezer room . +991 Baby NEG 1 it be too big and he end up gag on it . I be better off with he chew on he Soothie pacifier . maybe eventually he will like it but for now he just get frustrated . +348 Baby NEG 1 there be no way to mark the correct position of both piece so they would fit together properly . after ruin one piece by put it in the wrong position , we put mask tape on the back of it to line it up with the second piece . that work as a trial -lrb- and something we should have do first -rrb- but when both latch and catch be properly line up , the door would not unlock , as the cabinet door be evidently too thick , although the writeup say the lock would work on door up to one inch ... we give up , think about screw they on , but decide it be not worth the trouble . if you want to use the magnetic lock , be sure you cabinet door be less than one inch thick . a waste of money on we part . tome +653 Baby NEG 1 my eight-month-old have be sit up and eat solid for several month now and , of course , he make a mess every time , since he be , well , eight month old . I get this bib , think it would be nice to have one I could just rinse off after feed he , rather than have to wash a bib every meal . unfortunately , the Bibbity be \* ridiculously \* wide , to the point that he have a lot of trouble reach around it to get at he food . since we feed he a lot of finger food , this be a major deal-breaker . he get frustrated , and eventually just move the bib around so that he can use one arm properly , and then the pocket at the bottom be nearly perpendicular to the floor and most of he shirt be go to get food all over it . the little indent on the side for the arm be positioned approximately at the top of he shoulder , even when the neck of the bib be not touch he neck , which be not exactly what I would call `` useful '' . I be kind of astonished that it be so poor a fit ; he be eight month old , and wear 12m clothing -lrb- at 29 '' tall and 20lb -rrb- ! there be no way this would be a workable bib for a newborn ; I think it might work for he when he be 18 month , but certainly not now . +897 Baby NEG 1 I buy these for my soon to be newborn and I wash they before put they away and they have shrink up and shrivel I guess you would say . not really pleased . probably will not buy anything else of this brand . +855 Baby POS 5 I have a 6 week old and the pump I be use -lrb- for 6 week -rrb- break . I be not happy about spend $ 200 on another pump , but be so glad I do ! the pump be very quiet and very efficient . I can pump 8 ounce -lrb- 4 ounce on each side -rrb- in 5 minute or less ! I love that you can set the pump to whatever pattern\/intensity that you like . -lrb- you do this by pump the trigger to set the rhythm , then press the start button -rrb- this pump do not hurt at all ! it be very comfortable ! the only issue I have with it be that it be a little cumbersome to take the pump apart and store the milk ... -lrb- if you have a flat surface it be not a problem -rrb- bottom line , you will not be disappoint with this pump ! +268 Baby NEU 3 this be a great cover and I love the material , it can even last throughout the night on my 6 month old even without the leg gusset . one thing I do not get be why they have not put adjustable height snap . it really would cost any more and most other brand like thirsty and Grovia do have they . it make it so there always some leftover fabric between he leg . if this have height adjustment snap I would give it 5 star . +518 Baby POS 5 I buy this for my daughter when she be around 6 month old , and she have sleep with it every night since then . it be small , lightweight , and the perfect size for she little hand . besides be about the cutest thing in the world when you see it tuck underneath she arm while she be sleep , it have also save my hair during nursing session . I always have Sweet Pea available when I nurse , and now instead of pull my hair or scratch my face she hand be busy hold and explore she baby . I do like have the outer pea pod for when we travel or take the baby somewhere because it keep the baby cleaner . my daughter be now 11 month old , and she be so attach to she Sweet Pea , that we buy a second one just in case we need a back-up ! +989 Baby POS 5 I order two of these in size m\/l when my baby outgrow he newborn mitten , and they be awesome . they stay put and provide protection from baby scratch himself , as well as light warmth . the reversible design be also fun . they be hold up well to my baby 's -lrb- toothless -rrb- chew . a additional benefit be that when baby be wear these mitten , people be less likely to touch he little hand and pass along germ . highly recommend product . +517 Baby POS 5 the Halo sleepsack swaddle be the BEST baby item out there for new parent ! I get one for each of my expect friend and i know i would not be able to sleep well without keep we little one in a sleepsack . the swaddle part of the Halo version come off for when you do not need it anymore . also , we have try the swaddleme and the other swaddle out there and the quality just be not good . Halo make the best one ! you will love this ! +300 Baby POS 5 I have be look for a mitton which have custom setting to tighten accord to the baby 's hand . after a lot of research I find this one . in addition to custom fit , it also have multi color layer . you can change the design on the mitten to you choice . since this be make of cotton , it give enough warmth during cold weather too . my baby and I love this product . +747 Baby POS 4 i get this for my little girl and she go nut for it , she love it and its real easy to clean . i would definitely recommend this to anyone try to potty train they kid . +476 Baby NEU 3 this jumpsuit look like a great alternative to a traditional satin baptism suit for the same price . my son be 7 month old but wear 9 month clothes so I purchase the 12 month size to make sure that it fit well think he could continue wear it during the winter . the jumpsuit we receive do not have any of the construction problem some other reviewer have mention , however the leg be very short , they barely come past my little guy knee . also there be not a button in the middle of the crotch area so there be a pretty big gape there . overall the outfit be adorable on , we just keep a blanket around he because it be cool in the church . +288 Baby POS 5 I buy these in a 5-pack a couple of month ago and now I be back for the 10-pack ! my 6 month old make a real mess during mealtime and these bib have prove to be a great product . I love that they be reversible -- help get more use out of each one and keep the laundry pile from get outrageous ! even though it be recommend not to put they in the dryer , I have do it and have no problem !! a couple of people may complain that these be thin but it be really not a factor since they be definitely waterproof ! +781 Baby POS 5 before I leave the house I throw this necklace around my neck . my daughter be 6 month old and know this be hers to chew away . you cant even tell its a teethe ring and I feel safe know she wont drop it on the floor . +197 Baby POS 5 when I first start my baby on food , we go through several fabric bib a day . have to use stain stick on everything before laundry day , and even with the presoak , I ruin several of my favorite coordinate bib . the only one that be sure to get clean be the white one , since I could use bleach . I read about the superbib and it seem like the solution . so , I order it , and be happy to report - this be the BEST bib ever for baby new to feeding . it be almost like plastic , but softer than that - I feed baby , rinse this in the sink , and lay it on the drainboard . by the time baby be ready to eat again , the Superbib be dry and ready . if it start look stain up , I run it in the wash machine -lrb- not dryer -rrb- , and it look good as new . I actually purchase 3 of these , one for the home , one for travel , and one for grandma 's house . I will agree with other reviewer who report that the pocket do not really catch stuff . now that baby be eat mum-mum , I find that crumb end up in the lap or highchair . the pocket do not really stick out , so do not catch anything . so , if you purpose be to catch wet food and save the traditional cloth bib , this be the product for you . if you purpose be to save the lap and highchair from dry crumb , not so much . all in all , I love it , and will be use it for some time to come . +731 Baby POS 5 I get four of these sleepsack , two fleece and two cotton . I find the fleece sleepsack do get bitty after a couple of wash , but it do not effect the product . they be wonderful . if you be buy for a newborn , get the 6-12 month size , since it 'll last a bit longer . I end up give away the 0-6 month size , when my baby be only 3 month old , as it be get a bit small . +955 Baby POS 5 I recently receive this for my daughter who be 6 month old . I have 2 previous halo sleepsack and love they , but she be outgrow they . the cupcake pattern be adorable ! she love sleep in she sleepsack , and they zip from the top down which make middle of the night diaper change very easy . we love this product ! +367 Baby POS 4 the sheep itself be very soft and very cuddly -lrb- i also have the back to sleep bear and the slumber bear by Prince Lionheart and these be not as well make or as attractive to a small baby -rrb- , the white sound -lrb- ocean and rain -rrb- be great and very effective although i prefer the in-utero sound of the slumber bear \/ back to sleep bear as they combine the heartbeat with a swooshy white noise that have be very effective for my daughter -lrb- the heart beat on the larger sleep sheep be very ` thumpy ' not white noise -rrb- . the timer setting be great , 25 min be ideal for my child , and 45 min for a more fussy night - Prince Lionheart go off after 5 min - however the Slumber bear \/ back to sleep bear be sound and movement activate and this be a real winner for I as my baby wake frequently at night and resettle herself when the white noise restart ... the only problem with the sheep be that i would have to go into the nursery to restart it myself and once my daughter see I she get upset when i leave again . the reason we have all 3 be that the first slumber bear we have stop work recently and we need 2 sound box go off at once to settle she because she like she white noise very loud to drown out she brother shriek \/ sleep talk ... I use this to get she to sleep initially and the back to sleep bear for resettle in the night . +259 Baby POS 5 i love this product ! i dress my baby in long sleeve\/long leg all-in-one PJs , then place he in the sack . he stay nice and warm all night and can roll around the crib as much as he like !! although i try to avoid diaper change at night , if it be necessary the zip make it easy to change he without wake he up too much . it be super easy to wash with all he clothes and dry well in the dryer -lrb- i use the low heat setting -rrb- . definitely recommend this !! +355 Baby NEG 1 so so mad because the monitor break after 10 day use . I have to wait another 6 day to get the Medela pump from Amazon to send home . my child have to eat formulum and express milk for 6 day . more stress and more tire for a new mom like I because of the unreliable machine . will not recommend this product . +55 Baby POS 5 great cover , generously size . Make sure you lanolize it before use though , or it will not be waterproof . this be what I use for nighttime and it be bullet-proof ! : -rrb- +772 Baby POS 5 I buy 6 of these blanket for my little guy and they be perfect . the color be exactly as picture , they be stretchy and big enough to swaddle . they be also very soft . I would recommend they to anyone ! +744 Baby POS 5 this be the third Halo sack I buy as my daughter outgrow the other . they be well construct and very functional and most importantly allow I to sleep in peace know that my daughter will never be too cold at night . +70 Baby POS 4 this come prewrapped in cellophane - so it be hard to actually judge the product . it be a gift at a baby shower and as far as I can tell the recipient like it and say the sock be great . I do like the packaging - cute idea . +203 Baby NEU 3 my only complaint-one of the lid - -lrb- for the large bowl -rrb- would not close ... the other be fine but that one do not shut ... too bad . +666 Baby POS 4 I think that this product be great for breastfeed a older baby . my child be 5 week old and she be just to floppy to get enough support from this pillow when eat . I can imagine when she get older it will be great for she though . it be great to support the baby in a somewhat sit position , and to assist she in help lift she head when lay on she tummy . overall I love this product and think it have many different use . +390 Baby POS 4 it be very cute and it work well . the only thing be it be a little short . the baby really love it and it go with we theme . +417 Baby NEG 1 absolutely awful ! I buy these because I could not find anymore at the store . I love the design ; it be cute and not full of today awful cartoon character . I even think it be nice that I get 8 bib instead of 6 . after one wash , 4 of the bib be rip at the neck line . and 1 completely destroy . I never even get to use they . I be highly disappointed !! +623 Baby POS 4 I be go on my third kid with these bib and I still think they be great . the original one that I buy with my first son be a bit worn , but they still work perfectly . they be as waterproof as the name promise . Food and drink never seep through to they clothes . the pocket at the bottom catch most of they crumb and milk that they inevitably spill . after each meal , I wipe or rinse the bib off , lay they on they highchair and they be dry by the next snack or meal . I usually use one bib for several day before I put it in the wash machine . when my baby become toddler I switch they to the Bumkins Junior Bib . that one go around they arm so they can not take it off themselves -lrb- at least not easily -rrb- . I never have a serious problem with my baby yank off the bib . I give it four star instead of five because the neck be a bit big . not sure why they do not fix that . so many reviewer complain about that design flaw . sometimes food sneak under the bib because it sit too low below they chin . I also think the fastener could be stronger . as I say , I never have a problem with my kid yank apart the velcro , but a snap closure -lrb- or some other stronger closure -rrb- would be a big improvement . overall , I love these bib and the few problem I have have with they be overshadow by how easy they be to use and reuse between machine washing . +433 Baby POS 5 some say that this product run small , so I order the large . Umm ... yeah , I do not agree that it run small . we guy be swim in it when he first start use the large at 8 month . he still be swim in it at 11 month . but , even though it be large on he , he have plenty of room , get around in he crib easily , stand up in the crib and roll all around . I be just thankful that it keep he warm at night and I do not have to worry about blanket . it have wash well and hold up well so far . I have a friend who double up she jammy at night to keep she daughter warm . it be a challenge just get one pair of jammy on we boy , I would not like try to double those up . this be much easier and it keep he warm . +213 Baby NEU 3 I purchase these bib for my son and love the idea of they be able to be wipe off instead of fabric that need to be wash . I purchase the 12-24month size and when they come , they do not fit my son 's head . my son be 18 month old and small for he size so I do not expect the head open to not fit . I be go to contact the seller and see if they will either return or exchange the purchase since it have already be open . for the amount of money I spend on the bib , I be not completely satisfy with the purchase . +6 Baby NEG 1 I be give a double snap-n-go stroller as a baby gift from a relative . after two use , the stroller break and will no longer fold down . not only be I strand in a parking lot when the stroller break , but I have be unable to use the stroller -- and thus , unable to leave the house with my newborn twin - for ten week while I have go back and forth with Baby Trend 's customer service department . the Baby Trend customer service department have have I disassemble the stroller three time ... take and email two picture of the broken stroller ... I have have 3 + phone conversation with 4 different customer service rep ... I have wait a total of ten business day for two different box that be send to I -- neither of which be large enough for the stroller . all the while , I be a mother of four child under 4 year of age . they have be completely unreasonable in what they have ask I to do ... the latest request be to wrap the stroller in a black garbage bag to send it back to they ... something that FedEx highly discourage -lrb- and say there will likely be damage to the stroller -rrb- . I have literally miss out on many family experience due to this broken stroller and Baby Trend 's refusal to remedy this issue . we can not take out twin out of the house without a double stroller - and unfortunately , we make the mistake of get a Baby Trend product . do not make the mistake of buy this product . the only thing worse than the quality of the product be the level of customer service you will get from Baby Trend . +735 Baby POS 5 very cute and look just like the picture . I buy it for my sister-in-law when they find out they be have a little girl . +641 Baby POS 4 we have have this potty chair for the past 6 month for we now 2 yo son . we have not have any problem with it and I be not sure I understand some of the other complaint . we son be big for he age -lrb- over 30 lb and over 3 foot tall -rrb- and we have no problem with the size of the potty . I mean , the opening do not need to be huge . he regularly use it and we have find : the shield be effective , it be easy to clean as long as you clean it right away . no problem with smell or mess when cleaning . he end up sit on it for long period of time reading and think about pee , so the cushy seat be nice . we have also use it as a step stool and transfer the seat to the big potty -- nice feature when need . now , he position himself so that the shield fit right . we have also find that the potty have to be a bit away from the wall so that the top do not interfere with where he sit . we also have some simple one piece potty seat for other place in the house or travel , but this be a nice one to keep in he bathroom for those long potty session before take a bath . the true test be that he think of this one as he potty and never hesitate to sit and use it ! +117 Baby POS 5 it be a great bib . it have excellent coverage for my 2-year-old . now I can let he feed himself soup , ice cream , yogurt , etc. without worry about he get it all over he clothes ! +372 Baby POS 5 if you be look for a basic boppy that can change look anytime you want , this be the one . it fit so many different slip cover , so you be able to use it with any baby . this kind of boppy have always be a favorite for I while nursing . I think anyone would like it . +770 Baby POS 5 these diaper cover be all they be crack up to be from the review I read before purchase . I have be use they for over a month now with bumkins\/bambino bamboo fit diaper -lrb- from -lrb- ... -rrb- -rrb- . it be a great combo . the Thirstie 's cover be bright and wash well , hold they color . they be totally leak proof ; you just have to make sure to tuck they around the diaper around the waist . we have periwinkle , red , aqua and melon . all the color seem true to they depiction online . the orange one be a little bit bright though , kind of hunter orange rather than the tone down melon hue I expect . I order celery and lavender for my little niece and those be cute color , too . +271 Baby POS 5 these drooler bib be exactly what my daughter need while she be in the teething stage ! she regular bib be soak through and soak through she top with all the drool she have go on right now . : o -rrb- the bib be also cute and come in nice , bright color ! +212 Baby NEU 3 the other review on this amazon site must refer to another model , because what we receive have the swaddle totally integrate into the sleep sac \/ can not be remove . this say , it be a great swaddle . velcro be very sturdy and baby will not break free , though sometimes teh swaddle portion kike up over she head\/mouth area . the length be great as we 2 mo old kid be 99th percentile and still fit in it -lrb- she do not fit in the cotton sleep sac of same size\/same brand - go figure -rrb- . the only issue be that the three layer of fleece on top when swaddle be way too hot even for New England winter . as such we really would only use this if we heating break for whatever reason ... +567 Baby POS 5 Got these burp clothes in addition to the towel and wash clothes . they be high quality - good absorbancy - and we have wash they several time and they have hold up very well . very cute . also more than enough to clean up spit-up . +679 Baby POS 5 I do a lot of research on product before my son be bear , and read that someone use these for burp cloth . I add a set to we registry , and after we receive it , we order another set because we like they so much . they be soft , durable , absorbent , and come in great color . we like these far better than another set of cloth specifically market to be burp pad that we have receive as a gift . +856 Baby POS 5 arrive on time , and fit my 10 month old perfectly ! they be so cute on she too ! I recommend these to all of my friend and family ! +797 Baby POS 4 this be we favorite brand of bib . we have try a number of other brand and type of bib before , but these be the best . the Bumkins SuperBib be make of a very lightweight waterproof material that be durable and easy to clean . the color and pattern be cute and cheerful . the size work well for my petite 3 year old -lrb- who be about the size of a average 2 year old -rrb- . the pocket often do not stay open wide enough though , so food sometimes fall down into my daughter lap and booster seat . turn it inside out usually help it stay open better . these be the best bib I have find . +738 Baby POS 5 I agree with all the positive review . this bib be easy to clean and really catch all ! I have hand wash mine and I have not have any problem with it at all . I also dump one in the laundry by accident and it come out fine ! I buy other soft bib with pocket before and they turn moldy when they get wet . the hard pocket bib , like Baby Bjorn be awful . they be too hard and all my baby do be cry and try to rip they off when he have they on . +884 Baby POS 5 I be so happy with this purchase . I get the maroon and the olive , and while they do not look like gem , they pass as real jewelry . they do pick up fuzz and cat hair but a quick rinse take care of that -lrb- and consider it be go in you child 's mouth , it be not a bad thing that it need to be rinse now and again ! -rrb- not only be these great to wear when I be wear my baby while we be out and about -lrb- it be right in front of she and she can grab it and gnaw on it to she heart 's content -rrb- these be fantastic when she be fussy : I dangle it like a pendulum in front of she , which immediately get she attention and she grab it and chew on it . between these , a wooden teething ring , and Sophie the giraffe , she be a pretty happy teether . +710 Baby POS 5 simple to install and work perfectly . I would not purchase any other brand or type . blow away compete product . +473 Baby POS 5 I have this Guppies bib for my son and I love it ! it be such a cute and colorful print that would be great for a boy or girl . the bib be lightweight and machine washable . I usually just wash it out in the sink after meal , hang it on my bib dry rack and it be ready to use again at the next meal . I do not like to have food-covered bib sit in the laundry basket get moldy . at about 12 month , my son start to pull the bib off and throw it on the floor . I start use a big diaper pin -lrb- a safety pin -rrb- to pin the bib close so he could not pull it up . after all , a food cover bib that be throw across the room make more of a mess than no bib at all . no , my son 's clothes do not stay perfectly clean . but I rarely have to remove all of he clothes after the meal . the Bumkins sleeved bib do a better job at protect clothes than this bib and I use the sleeved bib a lot too . but this bib be good enough for most meal . here be a link to the dry rack that work great with the rinse-off bib . Mommy genius dry rack -- Dry or Display just about anything -lrb- Baby Bibs , Plastic or Reusable Food Storage Bags , kitchen Dish Towels , Bathroom Hand Towels , Washcloths , Mugs , Sports Water Bottles , Herbs , Mittens , Children 's Boots , Lingerie , Holiday Orname ... +314 Baby POS 5 I order these bib for my 5 month old twin girl ... they drool a lot , LOL ! hip , hip , hooray for teethe ! so , they be WAY to big . I love the quality , color , and shipping be super fast . but they be make for a much older , larger child . no biggie . I would rather buy something too big than too small which I have do already , if you can believe it . they wash well and feel nice . my girl will surely love these when they get a little older . I may order more when they fit . I love they will not be able to pull these off once they figure out velcro ... they already show sign of be genius . -lrb- = +699 Baby NEG 1 this product be gross . as state in other review , the seat be a sponge . Doesnt not work well for a boy at all ! absorb all the urine that touch it and you can not wash it in any way ! I always wash my son immediately after use and this still didt keep it `` clean '' +898 Baby POS 5 my 15 mo . old fit great in the large . he be just over 31 " and can run around while wear the blanket , but there be still plenty of room for he foot to tuck in . he wear a long-sleeve shirt , pants , and sock to bed with this and sleep great . I be worry it would all be too warm , but that be not the case . love it ! +211 Baby POS 4 these be very thin bib . although they be reversible , when one side be soak ... you will not want to flip it over . I get they because they be not terribly expensive and I need about 20 bib for my little one to burn through in a week . +435 Baby NEG 2 I get a lot of compliment on these because they be cute , but my 6 month old be crawl in they for no more than 5 minute and they be wear thin and the thread be unraveling . I be very disappointed . if you be look for leg warmer that will hold up with a active baby then choose a different brand . +943 Baby POS 5 my 9 month old grandbaby twin love these - thank goodness I buy both sopie and gnon -lrb- who we nickname moonie -rrb- so when they be fight over one , I can hand the other to one of they ! +604 Baby POS 5 I have not have any problem with these spoon . I really like they and would buy they again . they have hold up very well in the last year of baby feeding . not great for a toddler to feed himself with , but super for feed he ! +858 Baby POS 5 this teether have work wonder for my daughter ! she never take a pacifier , but love this . she chew all over this thing and we have never have a problem with she choke or gag herself . we try so many different thing to help she with she teething pain , and this seem to be the only thing that really help . I 'll put in it the fridge for about 15 minute to get cool and then its all hers . also , when we first introduce this to she , she reject it for a few day . so do not give up on you little one , give they some time to get use to it . I would just set it on she high chair tray and let she decide what she want to do with it . +185 Baby POS 5 when I first register for this I do not realize how great it be ! this be a must have if you be breast feeding . it be so much cooler than I even know it be . when u pump into the storage bag and put it in the organizer it have a spring that squish the bag of milk flat and literally make it paper thin ! you can store a ton of milk in it and it be like a filing system because u can look through the top that u have write on . such a awesome gift . one of my favorite ! +815 Baby POS 4 this organizer be light weight and unobtrusive . have a cup holder and a change purse be a great addition for walk in the park . I highly recommend it . +195 Baby POS 5 purchase as a present for my daughter Olivia , this blanket be very soft and durable . the monogrammed `` o '' stand out boldly and the blanket wash well . +914 Baby POS 5 we use this at grandparent house as a high chair . i do not use the tray but just push my toddler up to the table . easy to clean , adjust strap and seem comfortable enough for my baby eventhough it have little padding . i like the way it will fold flat for storage . +608 Baby POS 5 my daughter love this teether . I also feel as think it help get she off of the binky . its good quality and she like look at the bright color . +975 Baby NEG 1 too big around and too shallow for my 22 mo. old daughter . weird fit overall and would never stay on . cute , just all wrong otherwise . return it immediately . +143 Baby NEG 2 I do not like this cloth at all . it be so thin that I be not go to take a chance & use it as a burp cloth and ruin my clothes . I buy this a while ago & still have not use it yet . I would only use it to sop up drool . +487 Baby POS 4 this bib be great at provide full coverage for the mess of feed a 6 month old . we avoid get food all over he clothes . it be a little big for he age , but he 'll grow into it quickly . +685 Baby POS 5 I do not want to shell out hard earn dollar for the blanket which the baby would outgrow in a few month anyways . these be perfect for my summer baby . not very warm - perfect thickness and size . for the price I pay these be one of the best thing I buy for my baby . +165 Baby POS 5 great product . could not find in any local store . internet be become my first place to shop for many item . +291 Baby POS 5 I be not expect much style when I order this outfit . we want a warm , long-sleeved , organic cotton outfit for we granddaughter who have sensitive skin . it be so much nicer than the picture show . Pretty , stylish , soft , and very well make . Tadpoles really need to get better at show off they clothing . +107 Baby POS 4 I have to say who ever develop this product be a freak genius and a rich -lrb- ... -rrb- too . I mean it be just 2 piece of material and 3 d ring but it cost like -lrb- ... -rrb- buck . all in all it be pretty easy to use even though out toddler didnt sit in it much . atleast it make carr the car seat easier . I would definatly recommend this to my family and friend . +562 Baby POS 5 I have use fuzzibunz -lrb- which we love -rrb- and bum genious as well as prefold and other CD brand . I have the opportunity to review this diaper and i have to say when i first see its desing i be apprehensive . be use to pocket diaper where you stuff the insert , the way this be to be put together throw I off , but alas i try it out . and boy be i suprised . first the soaker be super duper absorbant . so much so that they last thorugh the night without any leak at all !!! I have yet to be able to accomplish this with any other CD unless i put like 4 soaker and my little man have a huge fluffly butt . one soaker pad be all it take i do not even have to double the soaker . needless to say i be in love with this diaper and the design we get be beyond cute . +610 Baby POS 5 I purchase a variety of cloth diaper cover and I love the Imse Vimse cover . read the one star review , I guess you either love they or hate they . my daughter have be use these for about three month and I can not wait to get more . unlike the one star review , I do not have a problem at all with the velcro lose they `` stick '' , scratch my daughter or the cover keep in the moisture . quite the contrary ! they do not leak at all . sure , all cover will get a little wet , but they dry well and can be reuse before throw they in the wash machine . remember to not use dryer sheet . these cover be so soft , fit well and be lightweight . happy cloth diapering ! +46 Baby POS 4 love these blanket ! I have have these for each of my 3 kid , and they be a great size for swaddle . they be also perfect for my November and February baby , because the flannel be pretty warm . I have purchase ton of receive blanket that end up be burp cloth , because they be so tiny . the only receive blanket I like more be the Aden and Anais\/Bambino Land muslin blanket . they be more stretchy , they be HUGE , they make great nursing cover , and it be quicker to get baby swaddle . +90 Baby POS 5 I purchase this bib after be tire of wash numerous set of clothes each day . regular bib just do not stop the mess . after look around , I find Kushies ' infant waterproof big . the infant size be perfect for my 7 month old . I think it will fit she for another 6 month or so before we might have to consider get the toddler size . it keep off almost all mess . it be great . it also be easy to clean and cheaper than most other waterproof bib on the market . I would definitely recommend . when buy , I would recommend get two so you can alternate or keep one in you nappy\/diaper bag . +295 Baby NEU 3 this product work great and fit in the bath just as picture . the only complaint I have be that we do not have it more than 5 or 6 month and the soap scum it accumulate be crazy !! it come off with bleach , but take work , especially get through the crack . maybe if you have more time to clean it , this be a good product for you . otherwise I would not bother , you will be buy something else shortly after . +734 Baby POS 5 I love love love these bib ! they be so hard to find . I have only find 3-pack of they at Kohl 's . I buy this 2-piece set only for the bib but figure I could use the burpcloth sometime . these bib have this extra dry-weave layer on top -lrb- strange analogy , but kind of like a pantiliner -rrb- so it pull the spit-up down into the next layer . but it be not embed down in there . it wash up perfectly !!! definitely the best bib for the first 6 month when you baby be spit up when you burp they . my FAVORITE bib ! +251 Baby POS 5 this work great in my tub to store my baby toy , shampoo , washcloth , etc everything be all in one place and I can better keep my eye focus on my baby . it be adjustable too which I do not know until I recieve it . Works much better than those suction cup toy holder . +867 Baby POS 5 I buy these mitten for my baby who will be here very soon , so i can not review on how well they work , but i do buy they off of everyone review . . I will say that they be great quality and such a cute design - i have receive other mitten from friend and family and they do not compare to these mitten at all - these really be awesome ! I do wish they have larger size , but until my baby need a larger size , these will be perfect ! +302 Baby POS 5 gifted this to a friend baby boy . they love this name brand in upstate new york . I hope they use it often . +118 Baby POS 5 my first aden + anai purchase be they Muslin Swaddle wrap so of course when I see these burp cloths\/bibs I have to try they . I be really glad I do because I love , love , love these bib ! I be aprehensive at the cost , but they be so worth the money ! 1 -rrb- they be thick and very high quality . 2 -rrb- they cover a large area so no mess . 3 -rrb- they be a burp cloth and a bib so they have a longer range of use . 4 -rrb- the more you wash they , the softer they get ! 5 -rrb- when use they as a bib , they have a snap , not velcro ! 6 -rrb- the print match they blanket print and I love to be coordinate : - -rrb- +24 Baby POS 5 we have newly bear twin and this avent set be a nice addition to the Avent gift set we already have . you have a nice selection of bottle and the nipple seem to be easy for the baby to use . one thing to not be that this product be not make in China like many other bottle . I want to point that out as some people like to know that info . this be a nice starter set but you will need to buy additional bottle just to have enough on hand . we have the gift set in addition to this and we still need a few more bottle due to have twin . it be nice not to have to wash and\/or sterilize all the time by have more on hand . while it be hard to tell how much the bottle prevent colic they do seem very nice and the nipple seem perfect for we newborn . +489 Baby NEU 3 I purchase recently for we son . the top part of the mobile be great with the move leaf and hang animal . the only thing that dissapoint I be the light up area with the music . it really do not light up very bright . overall if you be look to not spend a fortune this be a good mobile . +642 Baby NEG 1 when I first start use cloth wipe , I only have a toddler and be use they infrequently . after one week I notice a burnt smell and find my pad have brown dry spot on it . once I have a newborn and be use wipe regularly again , I give it another try . first , I wipe down the inside of the warmer in case that be the problem . the pillow last a little longer this time until I notice a funky smell on my wipe . now on my third pillow , I have be flip it every day and add more water ever 2-3 day . it be still develop a funky smell . Ugh . I be go to use the warmer without it as reviewer have suggest and see what happen . to be fair , we have hard water and we have the same problem with we humidifier filter . no matter how often I flip they , replace the water , or clean the humidifier , they get crunchy and gross quickly . -lrb- that be , until I discover the antimicrobial solution you can add to they . I wish there be something like that for these . -rrb- +588 Baby POS 5 in 2008 we unexpectedly find out we be have identical twin which would be we 3rd and 4th child . we be a one income household so that I could be a stay at home mom so I do not have $ 400 to $ 700 to spend on a twin stroller that start at the infant stage . if you be just begining you research or be purchase for a loved one who be expect , please note that very few double stroller will actually accommodate infant twin . this stroller be amazing . it be easy to assemble -lrb- take only 30 minute -rrb- and customize to you car seat . it fold up very flat -lrb- much more so than a regular double stroller -rrb- . it be very lightweight and pop out to full size with no problem . I have have it in a car trunk and the back of the van so it can go in multiple vehicle size . I think the absolute best part be the convenience factor . my twin be bear in December so it be such a comfort not to have to take they out of a nice warm car seat and put they into a cold stroller seat . you simply lift you car seat off the base and pop it into the stroller and lock it down . baby remain undisturbed and out of the element . the car seat also help to shield they from people and germ when they do have to be in public . I would pull the sun shield up and lay a blanket over it and drape it over the handle to deter people from lean over the baby . Trust I - you can not be too protective when they have be in the NICU . the maneuverability be also better than average . it get around a lot easier than the double stroller I have now - probably due to it be weight . I would push it into the exam room at the doctor and it make it simple to do one baby exam at a time . I do not always have the luxury of have someone to accompany I when I have to get out with the twin and this system make it easy to do by myself with confidence . the metal frame also work for be creative with option . I purchase a screw on umbrella from CVS that fit on the frame and it work as a excellent sun shield for summer . the large basket underneath be big enough for a large diaper bag and my purse . all in all , the value , design , resell and convenience of this can not be beat . you have to buy car seat so this just maximize they use and value as well . I wish I have know about the single option when my first child be bear and I would have purchae it instead of the crappy `` stroller system '' that I overpay and underutilize due to it be multiple design flaw . if you go with this one you will not regret it . +601 Baby POS 5 we get this for we LO 's baby blessing and it work great ! . it be so soft and so cute . I feel like the size be accurate but it be more off-white\/cream than white if that matter to you . we love it and get a ton of compliment . we get the 6 mo size which be big on we 3 mo that wear other 6 mo clothing but it work and at 5 mo he be still wear it . +657 Baby NEG 2 I buy this bib as I want another bib with ` food catcher ' and do not want to pay for another babybjorn one . it have be through the wash machine only on a couple of occasion as it have be mainly wipe clean and I be too find the backing on the bib be peel away . the variety of color be good but I wont be buy another one ! +199 Baby NEG 1 I put the bottle in the rack for 3 day , it never dry . . my friend use the same one also have this problem . +702 Baby POS 5 good size - compact , but hold a lot . also very easy to take apart \/ reassemble between kid , and compact when store . we be use it again for we second and it hold ton of bottle . the grate be small enough to set small pump-part on to dry without they fall through . +998 Baby POS 5 this sleepsack work the best for my daughter . she wasnt confine like alot of the other sleepsack . give she more room but make she still feel secure . deffently recommend . +632 Baby POS 5 my daughter be 3 1\/2 month and have be go through about 4 bib today since 2 month -lrb- spit up and drool -rrb- . since she be so young the bib I have before -lrb- a 12 pack from baby r we -rrb- seem to dangle down so she would still spit up on she shirt . they also have no lining and would still soak through . they also do not wash well -lrb- wrinkled , fold up , get some hole -rrb- ! I also have a few with a crunch plastic liner that be more for feed and be huge ! these be great ! they be soft , and do not crinkle , but the middle section prevent it from go through to shirt . I have wash most twice and they have hold up well . I also like that they be solid color and not all pink !!! I will for sure buy these again ! +329 Baby POS 5 I think this be super adorable . it be incredibly soft and feel like a teddy bear . I do not have any kid , but I just have to have this for the future ! I would highly recommend it . +242 Baby NEG 1 horrible , the back be not at all like the package or the image shown-it be sharp edge and ridged and do not stay up in any way +756 Baby POS 5 I purchase this for we daughter after notice she be averse to product create specifically for teethe but love she pacifier . since this little raspberry teether resemble a pacifier and have interesting color , she be receptive to it . however , in the begin it take she a while to accept this for teethe because of the texture . once she start gnawing on it and hear that squeaky rubbery sound , she be set . +156 Baby POS 5 you can not beat this chair for the money . I be in the process of training my 16 month old daughter . this chair be easy for she to use . she can easily sit down and stand up and she seem comfortable use it . I highly recommend it . +534 Baby POS 5 this sleep sack be so amazing . my baby love it and it keep she warm and cozy , even in New Hampshire winter time ! I have never review anything before , but this be such a great item that I just have to share ! definitely worth the extra money ! +965 Baby NEG 2 we own the original size sleep sheep when my now-5 year old be bear , and although we like the product fine , it be not a must-have . when my youngest son -lrb- now 5 month old -rrb- start show sign of colic , we buy the travel version hope that it would help he to at least rest a little while we be out and about . the product have all kind of technical difficulty - there be a timer that be suppose to allow the sound to play for either 25 or 45 minute . do not work . the machine frequently shut off after a few minute , usually right as the baby be about to go to sleep which of course wake he back up . also , I often have trouble get it to play at all and have to fiddle for 5 minute with the volume knob and try different button to get it to start . it be not the battery because we change they constantly . just a faulty unit , I be sure but for $ 25 I expect better . +664 Baby NEU 3 I like the quality and design of these mitten , however , I would have like they in a bigger size . there seem to be only one size available and they be certainly not for baby older than 3-4 month of age . my daughter be 3 month and they be almost too tight for she little wrist . +335 Baby POS 5 this be a very cute leg warmer . this be great for my son when he start crawl everywhere . the leg warmer give a little padding on he knee when he crawl on the hard surface . and of course , this be a great addition to he Ohio State gameday outfit . +432 Baby NEG 1 I buy this because the size and shape look great for my then-toddler daughter , and I like that it have a hole for the car seat buckle to go through . however , the first road trip we use this on my daughter leak through she pull-up and through this allegedly `` waterproof cushion . '' what a mess , and it be not fun to deal with clean up a wet car seat cover when we be on the road . this seat cover be definitely not waterproof at all - I be so mad it be advertise as such and to have waste my money on it . we have Piddle Pads instead , and while they be not perfect -lrb- the one we have do not have a hole for the car seat buckle so you have to position they carefully as you be buckle in you child -rrb- , I can definitely say that they be waterproof and have save we numerous time from have to disassemble the car seat and wash the cover . so I would recommend the Piddle pad over this product in a heartbeat . I see there be now a deluxe Piddle pad that look larger than what I currently have , and it also have a hole for the car seat buckle -lrb- perhaps help it stay in place more easily ? -rrb- ... I will be buy one of these deluxe Piddle Pads to try it out ! +807 Baby POS 4 I accidentally buy the starterbib for my daughter of 8 month , and it be way too small . Make sure you get the normal size for any child over 6 month . that be say , I love the bumkin bib and use they for every meal . I do not know why I do not switch to they sooner ! I simply rinse they off after every meal and hang it on we towel peg to keep the pouch open . +713 Baby POS 5 I have have this for a couple of week now and although it be start to lose the shine and look more like rubber , I love this ! my baby have really enjoy use this for she poor teething pain and it be great to have when toy be not around . the Snowflake one look so real to other ... they be always shock to hear it be for baby and not regular jewelry . Great buy ! FYI the blue one look less real . +264 Baby POS 5 I buy these to match the Folsom prison onsy that my niece want for she baby . very cute outfit , indeed . +742 Baby POS 4 I love these seat because they take up almost no room , and be portable . I do not like the `` padding '' as it be not much and get dirty way too easy . I do not like the white waist strap , seriously who put white strap on a baby 's seat that be mean for eat ???? all these company that do that need to get color strap ! it would also be nice if when it be fold down , that the tray would snap on like the fisher price one do . overall , it be a great seat ! +350 Baby POS 5 I purchase this halo sleep sack for my grandson , who be now 4 month old . I order small , and I be glad I do ; he be about 15 lb and 25-27 inch long . the small size be actually a wee bit big on he ; he have plenty of room to grow into it and I can see this fitting he at 9 month old ; there be ample room for he to kick he little leg . he wear this with a long-sleeved onesie underneath during cooler weather , and with a light blanket , it be just right for chilly fall evening without be too warm . the fabric be lovely and soft , lightweight but definitely not flimsy . I love the fact that this zip from the bottom ; it make for super-fast diaper change without expose he whole body to the cooler night air and cause discomfort . I also order this in the microfleece fabric ; however , I prefer this organic cotton sleepsack , because the microfleece be somewhat heavier and I can not see he wear the microfleece unless we experience sub-zero temperature outside and the house be drafty ; yes , it be that warm . all in all , I highly recommend this cotton sleepsack for those who live in climate with cooler fall\/winters . +456 Baby NEU 3 the advertisement be mislead . they be not `` waterproof . '' they be useful as light cloth bib to wipe drool for a 3 month old baby . +924 Baby POS 5 this be a gift . the new mother thank I for it . nothing more to say since it be a gift . +792 Baby POS 5 I buy these as a gift for we new nephew . very nice , soft spoon and very reasonable price . +931 Baby POS 5 love how big it be . I will probably get one more here soon . make a great nursing cover up , too . +468 Baby POS 4 I buy this because my daughter want to join we at the table and I could tell by the picture it do not have a full cover which be ok for I because I do not want she to enjoy it as much as she do she highchair she never want to leave it . she love it and she be extremly happy . it be easy to clean and put away , complete space saver ! the reason I give it a four star be because the directoin be not as clear as I would like they and mine have a broken arm it be a very small break and its still prefectly useable but I can not adjust it very well because of it . if you want something that be pretty and cover with cloth and plan on usee it until they be like 2 this be not it but if you look to upgrade from a highchair and a chair to take with you everywhere , this be you chair . remember 8 time out of 10 you get what you pay for +971 Baby POS 4 this blanket be good quality . the brown be soft and velvety and the blue cowboy print around the outside have a soft cotton feel . +495 Baby POS 5 we go through EVERY bottle system before settle on this one . every child be different so to say one be better than another be silly . I can say that these nipple hold up well -lrb- we do not replace every 3 month as recommend -rrb- and the flow stay as desire throughout the life of the product -lrb- more like 6 month -rrb- . +463 Baby POS 5 this sleep nest be perfect for we little one who be too young to pull up she blanket . instead of just kick off a blanket , she stay nice and warm and comfortable in the sleep nest . we love it ! +621 Baby POS 5 I love this finger protector . my 10 month old love to open and close door . this gadget be easy to use . I love that it slip on and off the door handle for easy storage . also great for travel as they be small and light !!! +110 Baby POS 4 my child start teethe a few month ago and EVERYTHING go in she mouth . I love this teethe necklace so much I also order the jade color . it be a great distraction for my child who love to pull on my hair , chew on my shirt or grab my face while we be out and about . basically , you have a toy\/teether that they can not drop on the ground while you be carry they . I do agree with one of the other reviewer that say you may hear -lrb- especially from a mother-in-law -rrb- , `` oh , you be let you child chew on you necklace -lrb- insert gasp -rrb- ? '' but just ignore it because you child be sure to love it . and at 6 month , they would chew you `` real '' necklace anyway . +154 Baby POS 4 I love this tub ! we have have it blow up for atleast 5 month and it have not lose any air ! it be pretty small - my 2 yr old have almost out grow it now , but great for baby and for travel ! +93 Baby NEG 2 this come unwrapped in a big Amazon box with other item I order -lrb- book , toy , etc. . . -rrb- unlike the other item the bib be not wrap in plastic or paper to protect it , and it arrive with scratch and scuff mark . in addition , the edge have extra material hang off . I have see this product in physical store , so I will pay a few $ more for one that look new . +357 Baby POS 5 we buy three of these for we triplet infant -lrb- one for each crib -rrb- and they absolutely love they . the color scheme and the animal be very cute and keep the baby entertain . we do not use the remote control provide at all . the kid enjoy fall asleep to the night light . +50 Baby POS 5 such a sweet , cute , little package with a whole set of sleep wear for a baby girl . great price and service ! +929 Baby POS 4 this be my go-to brand when it come to diaper cover ! affordable and good quality , very few leak and be never a result of the cover solely . very roomy yet not bulky , fit over everything from fitted to prefold . even hold lay in insert well ! my only problem be the foe get stain easily bc it be white , I would prefer a darker foe or one that match the color \/ print . +547 Baby POS 5 have not use it repeatedly yet , but on first wash I love it for what it be - lightweight flannel blanket . compare to c ----- 's receive blanket , it be larger , make better , shrink less , pill up less , and be quite a bit softer . would purchase again and as gift in the future ! +448 Baby POS 5 these be hand down the best bib I have ever use . we have two remain from we oldest daughter who be now 4 that we be use again for we 6 month old . we just order three more ! I have try many many different bib and these be simply the best ! waterproof , washable , dryable , catch food from fall on the floor . there be nothing not to love ! +1 Baby POS 5 this sleepsack be a great way to make sure you little one stay cover all night long . great buy and great price . +35 Baby NEU 3 the bib keep my 7 mo old very clean and be easy to wash off . my baby do not really like it because it be a little too long , so it bump into the tray of he high chair and impede he ability to reach the tray and pick up\/play with he food . this bib would be more suit to a taller child , or one be feed in someone 's lap or a booster chair without a tray . I be hopeful that he will like it better when he be a little older and taller . +424 Baby POS 4 I have purchase several other waterproof pad but they be all so rough after a few wash and I do not like that against my newborn 's skin . so I purchase these , which come 2 in a pack , and they machine wash and dry well and be much softer than any of the other pad I own -lrb- I have several brands\/types -rrb- . they will not fully cover a crib or pack n play -lrb- maybe a mose bassinet -rrb- as they be not so large , but would do the trick for a change table or to put under you baby when they be in the swing or bouncer to catch any diaper leak or spit up . expensive , but I think worth it since they be so much nicer against the gentle baby skin . +100 Baby POS 5 I would recommend this product to any parent . due to the risk of use blanket on baby , I decide to try this product . I love it , and plan to purchase it in fleece for the winter . +450 Baby POS 5 first off I love Halo , they make a great product and I have use they sleepsack ever since my daughter be little . now at almost 2 I want to try the toddler version . we call they she cozy and she love wear they . this one in particular since she be gaga about cupcake . she stay warm all night and I do not have to worry about a blanket , love love love ! just a size note , we buy the XL size and my daughter be a average size 20 month old . when people say these run big they mean it !! +571 Baby POS 5 this outfit be quite a hit at the baby shower ! yes , it a bit large ... but , that be ok ! better too large than too small . +168 Baby NEG 1 I be very excite to get these bowl in the mail because they be so cute , and the concept of have a suction bowl be -lrb- and be -rrb- appeal to I . my son love the bowl right away , as he be able to reach into the bowl for some puff to feed himself instead of have to push the puff around the table until he could finally grab one in he finger . I would also like to add that he eat tofu cube for the first time out of this bowl and love they ! however , I be disappointed because the suction on the bowl do not work for more than a few seconds . I be constantly push the bowl back down , which be disruptive to he meal . despite some of happy memory I have have with this bowl , I would not recommend buy these bowl because as ` suction bowl ' they do not serve they purpose . +717 Baby POS 5 we receive the snuggle pod Sweet Pea as a gift , choose thoughtfully for my 16mo daughter b\/c we call she `` Ellie Pea . '' she adore she Sweet Pea , which she call `` seepee . '' when she go to bed , we put Sweet Pea in she pod , and my baby grin every time we say , `` Shhh , she be sleep ! '' Sweet Pea be soft and huggable , with some interesting texture -lrb- ribbon hair , ruffle around the neck , embroidered button -rrb- and a cute face . she be just the right size for tiny hand to carry she around . she arm can be stuff inside the pod , or stick out in different way , which be fun . Ellie can not put she in the pod by herself yet , but she can easily pull she out . Sweet Pea be definitely a keeper ! +875 Baby POS 4 I buy my first pack of Munchkin spoon at a store because they catch my eye and I generally like Munchkin product . I buy this second pack because my little guy like to hold on to at least one during meal as well he use they as drumstick on he toy , so I always feel in short supply . the only con really be the handle . while it be a great length and I like its size for grip , its uneven weight distribution with the rest of the spoon have cause it to tip out of many a bowl of food , often fling food to the table or floor . solve that problem by not rest it in the bowl anymore . overall , would recommend to a friend . +396 Baby POS 4 love the Halo sleep sack ; they be a huge hit in we house . Great for baby and toddler after they outgrow swaddle and before blanket . my son love sleep in these still at 14 month . +550 Baby POS 4 this be a very nice sturdy change table . I love the color . the shelf be nice to put extra item on . +893 Baby POS 5 I love these bib . I love that they be not velcro , I love how cute they be , I love how they feel . they be exactly what we want . I be like some of the other reviewer , I do not want to get they all stain up , so we use these for catch drool mostly -lrb- we have a 5 mo old -rrb- and then plan to use the cheap ugly bib for eating , so I can not comment on how stain resistant they be . just like the blanket , they get softer every use and be so well make . I love the snap in the front ! also , I love that they do not say something stupid , which seem to be a requirement for all boy thing - `` property of mom '' , `` what be you look at ? '' Ugh . +927 Baby POS 4 the cotton be not a very good quality and the box be so flimsy that you can not reuse it . +553 Baby POS 5 my wife and I love put we toddler in the Halo SleepSacks . between the flannel one for winter-time and the mesh one for summer , there be sack for every season . when he be younger , we really appreciate know that he be comfortable while sleep but will not have " safety " related issue that be introduce with blanket . as a older child , we like that the leg be " penguined " in a way that prevent he from throw one of he foot up and over he crib rail -lrb- probably not what be intend by HALO , but we 'll take it -rrb- . I simply wish there be a adult version that do not look like a snuggie . +973 Baby POS 5 very easy to put together and `` bright '' for the baby and have a various toy that make noise for the baby to play with +138 Baby NEG 1 hey ? be you kid not drool enough ? be he be tease and the park because he do not have a big drool stain down he shirt ? then this be for you ! this just seem to get every ounce of drool out of he mouth and on to everything within a throw distance . he would load up the drool launcher and fling it all over . all in all , pretty gross ! in reality , I would not mind drool everywhere if it help with the tooth . it do not . he still seem upset and ouchy , and now wet ! and it do not seem very interesting either ... he would have it in he mouth a minute top and then it would get throw somewhere . not worth the effort . +409 Baby POS 5 overall the product be manufacture well and the product picture be accurate . it be a great addition to we son 's first birthday party . +471 Baby NEG 2 agree with all the other poster ... this spoon have some serious design issue . it be the right length and the spoon size be just right for a small mouth , BUT , the handle end be too heavy \* and \* it be round so you can not rest it on or in a bowl without it flip out or roll over\/out . nor can you rest it on a table w\/o it roll over . it be really really # $ @ ! % \* frustrate as it be something that I never remember to not do and so I would have spoon fall on the floor all the time . I do not know why they design it to be like a toothbrush -- what purpose do that serve ? all they have to do be make the back side of the handle part flat and use less plastic . Problem solve . the sad thing about this be that there be not any other spoon be make out there that be this size , so you have no choice but to buy this one . I could not wait until we could use regular teaspoon . +689 Baby POS 5 we be move from the rainforest bassinet -lrb- with Mobile -rrb- to a big crib . I really want to move to this mobile because it have the same `` character '' to it . it be a bit quiet and on the bassinet mobile , I be able to start louder to get she attention and drown out other sound , then turn down the sound once she be focus in and ready to be soothe -- this be very effective and I do not have that choice with this mobile . another thing the bassinet have be a flash light feature that help to draw she in and become ready to be soothe - also absent on this mobile . the music on this mobile be better quality than on the bassinet mobile . this mobile be a very nice one and I be please with it , although I would like it even better if the feature from the bassinet mobile be incorporate into it . +982 Baby NEU 3 they be not a bad quality but they be also not waterproof . the size be nice , its just that drull will still get on ur baby clothes and get they wet . +896 Baby NEG 2 I like that this spoon can hold more volume than the soft tip Gerber one and that the entire spoon be plastic . it be nice a lightweight and my baby love to hold it herself . as many other say , it be top heavy and be constantly flip out of the bowl . to avoid this you must set it flat when not feed the baby mean you table will get food on it . I will be look for a different spoon . +63 Baby POS 5 we purchase a medium for we two month old , sure it be big , but he can grow into it ! it be just perfect ! soft , wash well ! +510 Baby POS 4 great product . we buy this along with a Sunshine Kids for we two vehicle and aside from the size of the unit , I like this seat better . the Sunshine Kids be great due to how thin it be , but it be heavy and clumsy in function . the Safety 1st unit be very easy to use and fit securely . it be bulk which be why I can not give it five star , but you will be happy if you have this product . FYI , we have this in a 2009 pilot . +615 Baby POS 5 I see this on amazon first but end up get it at Toys r Us . it be on sale and cost about the same as amazon have it . I be able to check it out in person and think `` why not . '' my son be about 4 month and he would try to put the underside of Chan 's head in he mouth and would end up get mad b\/c he could not get a good hold of he . my son be now 7 month and he have be `` play with Chan '' alot . I get a kick out of watch he bite down on Chan 's `` hat '' and make he squeak and he love the sound and feel when he pull he out of he mouth . he also love pound chan on the floor , he head or he stomach . he just look at I with a smile know he can make Chan talk . I love that it be make of natural rubber and food safe coloring . it be make in France . so the fact that it be not make in china be awesome . we do end up get Sophie and Pinky pie gnom as a 2 piece set from Amazon . he play with Sophie also but I have not give he pinky Pie yet . +996 Baby POS 5 I buy this for my 3 year old daughter . she be do a dance routine , and the color and quality of the skirt be great !! +531 Baby POS 5 these mitten work great for we newborn to prevent he from scratch himself . he can wear they indoors or outside in milder temperature . the velcro help they stay put ! and he like the graphic design . the fabric be like t-shirt material , so not very warm , but functional for everyday use . +277 Baby NEU 3 love the idea of these little cloth sandal , especially when you baby be not wear real shoe yet . I could not believe how inexpensive they be , until I receive they in the mail . the concept be still great , but the fabric , which look more suede-like in the photo , be actually just inexpensive cotton -lrb- feel like flimsy t-shirt material -rrb- . when they arrive in the mail , they do not look anything like the photo and instead be squish flat and look like someone cut up they t-shirt for a rag . I would love for these to be make of slightly stiffer fabric , whether suede or a natural fiber . if nothing else , they 'll be a fun toy for my baby to play with on she foot . +536 Baby POS 4 I purchase this as a gift . it be a little pricey compare to other onesy , but it be very unique and fun , which suit the mom-to-be . +752 Baby POS 5 Cover the whole outfit . I use for long trip and everyday use . I highly recommend these bib . thanks for great service . +246 Baby POS 4 I buy various bottle brush from place like target , and find they all to be pretty useless . I find the Munchkin brand to be extremely disappointing - it be design to look like the Dr. Brown 's bottle brush , but it just be terrible . this one be very effective and last longer than I expect -lrb- I have be use it now for more than 6 week , every day , wash all the baby stuff several time per day -rrb- . you can not lose with the Dr. Brown 's bottle brush . +688 Baby POS 4 forget to see the model , it can only be use for 3 month . but it be still very useful . it be very soft . +506 Baby POS 5 I have purchase cheap bib from target and they do the job , but they be very stiff . these bib be flexible and lay nicely on my child . I own three - need to get more ... +398 Baby POS 5 toddler be all over the place so to try to keep a blanket on they be just way too hard -lrb- plus the fear of sid -rrb- so i buy this product and boy be it great !! yes its huge but you want it to be big ... its suppose to be cozy like a big blanket !! i buy the large for my then 12 month old and its perfect ... like i say , it be huge but you want it to be so they can be comfy in it . if they be cheaper , i would have buy 2 since she wear it every night . +161 Baby POS 4 this mobile have smoothing , soft music and slow motion which be the main factor for purchase . it be not too loud and will not keep a baby -lrb- -lrb- or you -rrb- -rrb- awake . the light it give off be not too bright . the mobile not only rotate 3 small , plush animal but raise and lower 3 leaf . in a dark room a child will not be able to see the motion even with the night light feature on . it only play for 18 minute . which be good and bad . good : play just long enough for a tired child to fall asleep before turn off . bad : do not play long enough and upset the child if it turn off . the remote be nice but only work if it be be on very recently . you can not start the mobile with the remote . battery life seem good . this be not design for a soft-sided crib or playpen -lrb- which be what we originally have as we child 's bed for the first few month -rrb- . it be also not design to fit on a very thick\/wide crib rail . I be considerate of this fact when I finally buy a full size crib recently . I still have a little trouble mount the mobile as the ` screw ' part be far too long and I have to cut a couple of inch off so the crib could sit closer to the wall . \*\*\* UPDATE 7\/24\/2011 \*\*\* after have this mobile for nearly a year it stop spin properly . the music and light work perfectly . so I think the battery be weaken . even with new battery the mobile need help to start spin sometimes . I do not know if it stop spin once it start as I would leave the room so my child could sleep . I contact Fisher Price regard the issue and they have ask I to ship just the base to they for a replacement . seem to be a known issue . \*\*\* UPDATE 12\/13\/2011 \*\*\* I have have the replacement for about 4mon now and it seem to be fine . after report the issue , and shipping just the base back , it take about 6wk to receive the replacement which be a brand new mobile . I have expect just a new or refurbish base ... seem kind of a waste . oh , well . the 6wk wait suck as my daughter still rely on this to sleep . we have the new one and have not have a issue at all . +947 Baby POS 5 love the little scratch mitton ! a must for newborn ! I order the 2-pack and could not be happier with my purchase . they arrive very quickly after I order and hello -- free shipping ? I can not ask for a better deal ! stylish for my little guy -- yet keep he from scratch he porcelain face ! definitely will order as gift for friend or more for my own kid ! +413 Baby POS 5 they match my nojo butterfly ensemble that be my nursery theme . Super absorbent . Modern and chic baby look . I love polka dot for girl so this be too cute . they look expensive but be a great price . +457 Baby NEG 1 this pump be pretty terrible . some people like it , and for some people it work for a week or a month before give up the ghost . maybe Evenflo have poor quality control standard , but mine do not even work once . I get barely anything , and it pinch painfully to boot . I use a medelum until the motor finally give out -lrb- it be a hand I down -rrb- , so it be not like I have never pump before . complete waste of money , as it sound like you be just roll the dice on if you get a good one or not . +963 Baby POS 5 I be not sure why review say they do not stick to the tray . I wet the bottom part and my toddler try so hard to pull it off but can not . they be great , perfect size : -rrb- buy they at target +80 Baby POS 5 love this bib . it be so easy to clean and it catch mostly everything that my little on drop . after she eat I just wipe it down in the sink and set it to the side to dry , then it be ready for the next meal ! my daughter be a year and I just barely discover these . I be use the small little material one up till now . I have to wash they so often . +247 Baby POS 5 I have have three of these bib and they be great . they last a long time and be easy to clean . these be better than other plastic bib because of the snap . you can unsnap it to clean it thoroughly . you can even put they in the wash . they have a lifetime guarantee which I do not take advantage of yet , but will for the next bib that get worn . one bib last I about 1 year of dailly use before it be so worn I have to throw it out . +326 Baby POS 5 be great for my little nephew , he love they because be easy to grab and play with they . excellent quality and very cool I be glad I buy this gift to my nephew . +338 Baby POS 5 I have be use this pump for the past 5 month since I go back to work . the pump work wonderfully . I use it 2 to 3 time a day . Medela also have great customer service ! +43 Baby NEG 1 the blanket be great . i buy multiple of it in various color and be impress with the quality of all of they . wash well with no shrinkage and hold the color . i highly recommend this item ... however , buy it from another storefront . after place my order i be send the wrong item . i contact the company and recevy no response day after day after day ... i finally have to contact amazon directly and they be the one who remedy the mix up . this great blanket be available elsewhere and that be where i suggest you buy it from . +728 Baby POS 5 I purchase the Woombie Donut for my grandson when he be 2 month old . I purchase it from the woombie website and be very pleased with the purchase . he be just a 1 week shy of be 10 month and be still able to use it . my main concern when purchase the Woombie Donut be to insure that when he be out and about with he parent , that he have he own personal space for which he could be lay upon , it be soft , comfortable , durable , cozy and very portable . I highly recommend this product and be a fan of woombie product . +556 Baby POS 4 I be plan on buy Sophie as my 4 month old girl 's first teether , but this be so cute and different , I go for it instead . she have a love\/hate relationship with it . I never know baby could have such a complicated relationship with a toy . sometimes she find the squeak hilarious and be totally engage . other time , it completely appal she . there be no tell when she 'll like it and when she will not , so I get it out often , and after I have shoo the dog away , give it a go . if you do have dog , make sure to keep this out of they reach always . I know if mine get a hold of it , it would be destroy in seconds because of the thin rubber . not that the thin rubber be a bad thing , since it be hollow , it make it very easy for we girl to hold , when she be in the mood . +4 Baby POS 5 Came super quickly in the mail . Dont fit my little girl , but that cause she be a tiny baby lol will def be order these again ! +921 Baby POS 5 I own lot of Aden + Anais product , these do not disappoint . they be oversized super absorbent and great for feed and drool . +444 Baby NEG 1 this product be a dissapointment . the motor work for about 15 minute , then die . the sound work fine , but FisherPrice really drop the ball and use the cheapest , weakest motor they possibly could . this be a big waste of time and money on all side of the Amazon equation . I will hesitate before ever buy a FisherPrice item again . +981 Baby POS 5 I love these bib . they be large enough to cover the entire front of my child . there be a pocket on the front of the bib that catch many thing before they find they way onto the highchair or the floor . best of all , cleanup be a snap - just wipe it down or rinse in the sink . Dries fast . the only thing that would make this better be a couple of tie on the side so we could use it as a art smock too : -rrb- +354 Baby POS 5 I start cloth diaper with a rental place , get set up with pul cover , but then stumble on the wool cover world . this be my first child , I purchase two , and will never go back to PUL cover . I love how they breath , he cloth diaper even sometimes start to dry if he be nap and wet they , because of the wicking characteristic of wool ! will always use these , and I highly recommend and even try to convert friend over to wool , and cloth diapering ! +899 Baby POS 5 Yep , I have two of these in my home - one for upstairs and one for downstairs . these boppy rock !! I have nurse two child on they and would say this be a definite must-have for any nursing mom . I can not say enough good thing about the Boppy . my only recommendation would be to make one that have pocket or something to keep tissue and so forth . I also use the boppy as a little shelf when I be read a magazine while my baby be asleep in they room . it be a nice height to rest you arm on while you be read . +490 Baby POS 5 I purchase this diaper cover because I be look for a one size alternative to the solid color cover . this be a adorable cover that work well on my very active toddler . +179 Baby NEU 3 I buy this brush because I be a big fan of the Dr. Brown bottle . I think this brush clean the bottle very effectively until it start to show wear and tear after a few month . in all honesty , this brush last for about 8 month for I , but we do not use it daily to clean bottle , as most of the time we run the bottle through the dishwasher . the sponge start to break down , which be not a big deal as sponge do not last too long , but the wire stem be pretty flimsy out of the box and just break today . +795 Baby POS 4 I love this set . it be great to use for feeding and store the extra food in the fridge . I just wish the cup have a cover as well or I could use it as a sippy cup . +961 Baby POS 5 my daughter try several different swaddle and this be only one that work for my grandson . what a difference it make in he sleeping . work for we , as we also do childcare for first several month . +839 Baby POS 4 it do not exactly cover the top of the seat in we vehicle , so we have to use a towel over the top of the seat to protect it from dent . otherwise it be great for we new car , which have leather seat . +663 Baby NEG 1 I think these be the same burp clothes I receive as a gift at my shower . these cloth be rough on the baby and not very big . I would not buy these again . +675 Baby POS 5 these sleep sack be so cozy for the little one . it give I a great feeling of comfort know that my guy would not end up tangled in he blanket at night . we keep we house cool during the winter time so we could dress he in normal pajamas and still use this sack . in the summer time we would put a short sleeve and shorts pajama set on he and use this sack . he never wake up too hot or too cold so I think they work great . cream color be nice and neutral for either gender . +167 Baby NEU 3 so far the actual diaper seem to fit well however I order the pattern `` Bubbles '' for my 2 month old and receive a pattern with huge ugly catfish on it -lrb- which be not even one of the pattern list ! -rrb- . they be not even cute & cartoon-ish , they be massive whiskery catfish - the diaper actually gross I out to look at ! I call to complain since it arrive a few day before we be to leave for vacation , and Amazon drop ship I a replacement which arrive 2 day before we be to leave . and of course , it be the catfish again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the sticker Amazon use to catalog say Bubbles , but inside have twice now be wrong . they have since -lrb- finally -rrb- refund I the money , but I need a swim diaper for we vacation , and thanks to Amazon we be out of time & out of luck : -lrb- +308 Baby POS 5 this be perfect for my 11 month old ! he stay warm but still have the freedom to walk around and move ! +465 Baby POS 5 I use to have the most difficult time swaddle my son until a friend recommend this product . it make swaddle he super easy . I also love that I do not need to completely unswaddle he to change he diaper at night - help I put he back to sleep all that more easily ! +272 Baby POS 4 my kid love have they own apron , so these be of course a hit . I find the neck strap annoying . the magnetic closure mean you do not have to tie it , but you also can not adjust the `` height '' of the apron . they be too long for my average-sized 3 year old twin . I hike it up around the waist and tie it like that . it get the job do , and the kiddo like they . but I find the design flaw irritating . +121 Baby POS 5 I purchase this for my 6 mo old granddaughter . she love it ... in fact , it be one of she favorite toy . she chew on it , squeeze it , rub she face against it ... it be the perfect size for she tiny , little hand . plus , the sound make she giggle ! in fact , it be so much fun , the entire family love play with it ! I be ready to purchase the yellow Vulli Chan Pie Gnon and also Sophie the Giraffe since I now know exactly how these toy feel ! thanks for a winner ! +181 Baby POS 4 I use these pad on top of a boppy cover for my change pad . it be super soft and wash easily , though it have get a bit pilly after so many wash . as my daughter have grow it be also just a bit small , I would have like it just a little longer . but the softness be my number one priori and this deliver . it also fold easily . much better quality than the cheap pad that come with the boppy cover . +533 Baby POS 4 we need a suit that would contain any possible accident -lrb- do not have any ! -rrb- while not embarrass the pre-schooler . these be perfect . they be harder for he to put on than regular swim trunk , but not prohibitively so . great product . +631 Baby NEG 2 I be hope that these would be thicker . they be super thin ... much thinner than a cheap hotel washcloth . I think I 'll be better off folding a burp cloth over the Bjorn front flap so we little one can chew on it without the saliva soak through . I be expect the bib to be more substantial than this , especially for the price . +145 Baby POS 5 we have be housesitt for a couple who install these lock for we . they be wonderful ! the door to the cabinet stay tightly shut -lrb- almost seal -rrb- so there be no mashed finger and no frustration from be able to see just far enough inside to provoke more curiosity . they be easy to open when you want to release the magnet . we be get ready to go back to we own home and I be go to order a slew of they . +280 Baby POS 5 the fabric in the middle of the blanket be very plush and soft , the lining fabric be just a typical cotton fabric . the blanket it pretty heavy but great to throw over they on chilly day . +696 Baby POS 5 these be by far the best food bib out there . I have a 3 year old son and 1 year old twin and my bumkin bib be still go strong . I have leave they in a hamper for day with dry food on they and they come out of the wash perfect ! I try not to throw they in the dryer because they air dry quickly , but sometimes they still get throw in and be fine . the bib I have from my oldest be get a little bit `` soft '' but they be not crack or grow mold . I be amaze at how well they hold up . I buy these for all my friend that have baby . +250 Baby NEG 1 I use this item daily to dry my bottle , but that be about it . bottle storage . it be super flimsy and even with the plastic bottle it knock around easily . also , the `` spin '' part of it , well , I just do not really call that spin . it be easier just to pick it up and turn it impo . this be one of the few item I will probably toss out after my son be out of bottle and just get something better next child . +455 Baby POS 5 I buy bumpkin , FuzziBunz and Thirsties when I be build my stash for my first child and the Thirsties fit my daughter the best from day one -lrb- well technically day 3 -rrb- . my daughter be 7 lb 6 oz , tall and skinny . the Thirsties cover fit she the best . the extra smalls -lrb- newborn -rrb- be great for she tiny butt and she wear they until she be about 4 month old . my daughter be now 5 month and the smalls be just now fitting she well . I like that the tab have the velcro material on they so you can overlap they for really skinny baby . the leg gusset be a little loose when my daughter be 3 month and under , but ever since she gain a bit of weight -lrb- maybe by 09 lb -rrb- they fit she perfectly . and the leg gusset do not leave mark on she leg like the bumpkin do -lrb- too tight maybe ? -rrb- . the few time my daughter have blow out of she cloth diaper , the Thirsties contain the mess well , unlike the bumpkin which get the poo everywhere . I be definitely keep these thirsty for the next child . +423 Baby NEU 3 I buy one of these when I have my baby . I do not nurse , but I think it would be helpful for feed he after my plan c-section . he be almost 6 month old now , and I never have really use it around my waist for feeding . I do use it under my elbow , but I could have do that with any pillow and it would not have cost $ 25 ! it would even be more worth it if the cover do not cost another $ 10 ! maybe they be more useful to nursing mom . +442 Baby POS 5 buy this for we 5 mo old daughter and she love it too ! she even sit in it just to play with a rattle or watch a show . like most child she have a lot of thing and at time we living room look as if she be the only one who live here . so this product be able to store away be excellent and it be safe , roomy and very cute ! not to mention ... the price be excellent too ! really worth the buy ! happy parenting ! +356 Baby POS 5 we baby be swaddle for sleep up until she be 6-months-old and start roll over onto she stomach while swaddle . we try put she in footie pajamas for sleep , but she seem a bit restless during the night . it be too drastic of a change from the swaddle she have become comfortable with . we try this halo sleepsack -lrb- on top of the pajamas -rrb- , and she settle right down to sleep . the SleepSack give she the cosy comfort of a swaddle with the freedom to roll over without any safety issue . now we use a sleepsack every night . we prefer the standard fabric -lrb- rather than the fleece variety -rrb- . live in Houston , the Halo fleece fabric be too heavy and warm , even in winter . this particular design of dot be not we favorite Halo design , but it work just the same as the cuter design . +194 Baby POS 5 I have not use this toy yet because my baby will be bear in one and a half month . but I really like the design and hope my baby will love the sound too . +825 Baby POS 5 love this bib . it be the only one we use . Easy to take with you because it unsnaps and fold neatly , but when snap together , it be sturdy enough to catch anything we messy toddler drop . it even catch -lrb- and hold -rrb- the milk he spill into it ! I have wash it in the machine on gentle when it get really dirty . we have have ours for about a year and it be start to crack , so I 'll be replace it . well worth the slightly higher price . +169 Baby POS 5 I buy two of these sleep sac for my son because the doctor at the hospital recommend they . I love they . not only do they keep he warm , they be very soft too ; I can change he diaper by just open up the zipper . the nicest aspect be my lack of worry about he sleep in he crib with a blanket and suffocating , because there be no need for a blanket ! +451 Baby POS 5 I wait a really long time to buy this because it feel like a lot of money to pay for a smock . I regret wait at all . it make feed time infinitely easier - I do not have to completely strip down my toddler anymore or spend hour try to clean out stain . it be long enough to cover he lap beyond the highchair tray -lrb- if you do not use a tray , part of the leg will still be expose for spill -rrb- . the neck be high enough to cover he collar which use to get hit even with a bib . it be really easy to clean , and I be no longer afraid to let my child feed himself goopy , stain food ! it be completely worth it and I wish I would have it since he start solid . later edit : we have now have this smock for about 2 year and it be barely show sign of wear . I throw it in the laundry about once a week for a thorough cleaning and just wipe it down with a paper towel between meal . the best way to get it clean be to turn it inside out in the wash and then hang it over a chair . it will dry extremely fast and get really clean . if you do not turn it inside out , the sleeve have a hard time dry on the inside where the absorbent fabric be . we love this smock and just order a second one for my daughter . +97 Baby NEG 2 everything else about this spoon I like , except the handle be heavier then the top of the spoon . so everytime you set the spoon down in a dish , it fall 's out . ususally land on to the floor and make 's a mess . would not buy these a again . +790 Baby POS 5 these bib have deep pocket , they catch almost all the spills\/mess . they have survive many trip though the wash machine . you can also hand wash they . just do not put they in the dryer , hang dry they . they be very sturdy and durable ! I have own they for about 5 month now and use they almost everyday . they have show minimal wear ! +793 Baby NEG 2 the bump on the bottom of this tub that be suppose to prevent the baby from slip down -lrb- he leg straddle it -rrb- , not only do NOT in fact prevent slippage in the least , but once baby slip , he back be now roll over this hard plastic bump ! although baby do not complain , it be hard for I to hold he in place so that he do not slip down . Wish the bump be much higher or not there at all . not a good purchase . +114 Baby NEG 2 I order think baby bowl because there be so many good review about it and my 4 month old baby have start solid , plus it make from stainless steel and plactic free . I want to order the bowl and there be a `` add-on '' item which be the spoon and fork set . I think iam gonna give it a try , but once the item arrive i be so surpised on how small it be . if you put inside the bowl it will just drown in the bowl , the size of the spoon and fork be exactly as wide as the bowl 's diameter . . iam a tall woman with a long finger , it be very inconvenient for I to feed my son with this spoon . but the handle of the spoon be really soft for the baby and the spoon be deep enough for the little mouth . maybe i can keep it and give it to he once he reach 6 month old or so to feed himself . but this utensil be not make for parent who want to feed they baby , the size be ridiculously SMALL !! but i love think baby bowl , i have 2 set of they , definitely gonna purchase it again in the future . +907 Baby NEU 3 the color variety and texture of the diaper cover be be great . the front inner flap to guard against rash and leak work well and be soft . the cover be not too bulky , make it easy to dress the baby . the leg hole be shape in a way that cover a portion of the thigh , even when pull back . this can be good to prevent leak , but bad because it leave a larger surface susceptible to rash . the inner `` flap '' of the leg hole do well at contain fece , however , urine escape easily , before the cloth diaper be wet enough to warrant change . cloth diaper commonly leak more than disposable , but this cover leak a bit more than average . the velcro tab do not latch well . my son squirm and kick just about the entire time he be awake , and many time the diaper will simply come undo and fall off , leave everything cover in urine . the only way to keep he diaper on be by dress he in a onsie . the price of the diaper cover be a little high for someone on a budget . it be much better to purchase adjustable cover with snap . though the cost more , they cover a wider weight range , ultimately save money . +614 Baby POS 5 I order this sleep sack for my nearly two year old who still love be put to bed in she sleep sack . the size be definitely suitable for a 2 + year old and the quality be the same high standard as all Halo product . Grandma jokingly say that they look like they will fit until kindergarten . my only wish be that Halo would make long sleeved sleep sack in all size . +382 Baby POS 4 I like these bib but I buy they for my newborn . there be no size information on the amazon page , but when they arrive the packaging say `` Stage 2-3 , 3-12 mo. '' I just wish this information be available when I have purchase the item ! +579 Baby NEG 1 I wish I have not spend money on these . they be cheap and do not hold up . please save yourself the frustration and buy higher quality bib . these only get 2-3 use . there be nothing water resistant about these . +392 Baby POS 5 this be by far my favorite burp cloth . I love that it easily convert to a bib . the fabric be very soft and the contoured neckline catch spill during feeding . I buy several of these ! +152 Baby POS 5 I buy this bib because of the coverage size and the snap-to-close . my 19-month old pull the velcro and tie bib off and she have not figure this one out yet . +81 Baby POS 5 I have the chalk mat by this company , so I try this apron . another great product that be smart , practical , and beautiful . Easy to wipe down and I do not have to fight with my kid to get they to wear it . another great gift option . we use they for art and craft to cooking to play in the sink with rubber ducky . and of course , it be eco-friendly so totally safe for my kid and the environment . +874 Baby POS 5 we baby 's change table could only accommodate a 30 '' long change pad , so I be glad to find this one . before order , I be not sure if I would like that it be contour on all 4 side instead of just the long side , but I do like it this way . in fact , the contour seem deeper than most change pad which make it a little bit safer in my opinion - my daughter be very wiggly ! it be very easy to clean when my daughter be not quite `` do '' when I think she be and there be no diaper under she . +545 Baby POS 5 this work great for keep we almost 3-year old in he full-size bed . I really like that it fold all the way down too for make the bed . very reasonably price as well . +72 Baby POS 5 this be so soft and cute ! I love it . it be just a tad big for the change pad that come with my crib - but after tuck it in well it work great . I love it . +672 Baby POS 5 I buy this for my 6 month old who be now very distract while nursing and be also want to chew on everything . the clasp be sturdy and the pendant be flexible with a little give . it need to be wash from time to time because it collect fuzzy . my son like hold on it it and occasionally will give it a little chew . I have get complement from other mom on how pretty it be and they do not know it be actually a teether . this one look more like turquoise than Jade in my opinion because be very blue , not green . I love it . on I the pendant hang just below my chest so it be a long cord . +620 Baby POS 4 I purchase this bib because my daughter drool and ordinary bib get so wet , so fast . I be hope that this bib absorb she drool well so I do not have to change she regular bib constantly . as far as the absorbency go , I feel that it be not much different than the regular one . however , it work well for feeding . its material be resistant to stain , fast to dry after I wash and hang it . I use it everyday when I feed she . +836 Baby POS 5 this be a great bib . the material be thin , almost like a plastic . the length of the bib and the long sleeve be amazing , it be very cute , and it seem comfortable . my newly 2-year-old son definitely need this to save he clothes ! I put he into it and serve he food , which he promptly smear all over as some make it to he mouth . once he be do , I rinse the bib out in the sink and it dry in time to be available for the next great food adventure -lrb- aka meal -rrb- . tomato sauce do not stain it , and although the pocket be actually pretty close to worthless , it do not need to be there because of the length of the bib . I have no complaint , and neither do my little one . and my wash machine be thank I , too ! +307 Baby POS 4 overall I like these and they be my most frequently use bib . they be really cute , a good size to cover she chest down to the high chair tray , and although the neck opening be kind of big for she , it get the job do . the soft terry be great for wipe off she face when she be do eating . my one complaint be that after only a few washing -lrb- cold\/gentle & low heat dry -rrb- , the velcro be already noticeably less functional . +507 Baby POS 5 very happy with the purchase . my expectation be justified . indispensable thing for small child , very good quality . I recommend this product . +31 Baby POS 5 for anyone who need to take a carseat on a airplane ... this item be a godsend . it easily attach you carseat to you carry-on bag make it much easier to get everything to the plane . you child can even sit in it !!!! +36 Baby POS 4 the tine be not as pointy as they look in the picture . this be very nice for Oatmeal in the morning , since it do not get heat up by the food . +243 Baby NEG 1 this do not work for we 8 month old . the plastic be mold inward towards the middle part of the bib so it do not catch anything . not sure if it be from the packaging or what . my son also do not like the way it feel around he neck , he be constantly pull on it . +421 Baby POS 5 this be very nice item , for sure would buy again ! baby like to stay in this pad while i be change he . +228 Baby POS 5 this be a great snuggle toy . the fabric use be very , very , soft -- that smooth yet plushy type fabric . a little doll come out of the peanut casing . he have two taggy for hair , and a blue body . the body have arm but then a round body without leg . the casing say Lil Peanut on it . as I call my daughter `` peanut '' I want she to have it for Christmas -- and she love he ! she have not learn how to take he out and put he back in , but she will bring he to I so I can do it for she . Great little toy ! +861 Baby NEU 3 they be good at keep a cloth diaper from leak , however , you cant tell as easily when you baby need to be change as with disposable . however , all thing consider , they do what they be suppose to do quite well . +159 Baby POS 5 we 1 yr old need add warmth beyond she onesie and winter sleeper as we winter have kick in and she room over the garage doesnt get the best heat . this blanket sleeper be just what we need . I do not have to worry about she be too cold at night . we do keep she foot in the little hole so when she be up in the morning she can stand up without issue . we put it on she right before we put she in she crib at night so no need to worry about it be large . she sleep longer now and more soundly because she cozy and warm . I like that it do not have arm and be breathable , no issue of be too warm . I highly recommend it ! +512 Baby POS 5 my 4 month old love these bottle better then d evenflow one I be give he n you can actually see all d air its hold back so no colic for my baby +863 Baby POS 5 Perfect fit and look for my daughter who be half honduran . show up super fast and look just like the picture +331 Baby POS 4 good product , in fact , I just order a second one for a second doorway to completely section off we family room for we 5 month old puppy -lrb- Bichon Frise\/Maltese\/Poodle mix -rrb- . the gate be very attractive -lrb- as far as gate go -rrb- so you really do not mind it be up aesthetically - in fact , it blend in very well with we brazilian cherry wood floor . it be very easy to use , appear to be pretty well make , and be secure -lrb- I use the pressure mount only -rrb- . best feature - it have a great stay open or auto shut feature that be very convenient for when we -lrb- 12 lb -rrb- puppy be out we otherwise contain -lrb- in he crate -rrb- and you do not want to either keep opening -lrb- or closing -rrb- the gate every time you walk through . sound like a old school screen door when it shut on its own -lrb- nice -rrb- ! Easy delivery from Amazon for we . I would recommend it as evidence by my repeat buy . +597 Baby POS 5 my little guy be just start to eat solid , so this be a perfect bib for a smaller baby . the surface area be not large enough for a toddler , but be the perfect size for a infant . I use this bib while travel and it roll up nicely . I love it because you can wipe it clean with a wet wipe at the table , without have to wash it with every use , keep I from have to have a collection of bib on hand . it also withstand scrub when I wash it with we soap wand at the sink . the silicone be very flexible compare to the Bjorn brand `` silicone '' bib that be stiff plastic . my son do not mind wear it ... there be several size setting to keep it from be tight or uncomfortable . a overall great purchase and I would give this as a gift . this one bib have replace we drawer full of wipeable bib . +667 Baby POS 5 Minor Cons : - slightly time-consuming to wash multiple piece . - bottle always leak for I , I personally have to use another brand for feeding -lrb- Tommee Tippee be exceptional for combine breast and bottle -rrb- . - the bottle-pump be top-heavy and fall over if you be not careful , and can leak a little when on they side . - a little milk get under the ` petal ' and can occasionally be slightly messy . pro : - Super comfortable !!!! - Super fast ! - Super suction -lrb- but you 'll hardly feel it -rrb- ! easily compare to the hospital grade pump I use , but without the discomfort . - infinite personalized variety in speed , rhythm , and suction intensity . I can change the variable as often as I want throughout the pump session so that it remain comfortable and can be match to the change of my flow . - double my output in half the time over my manual pump . - the \* only \* pump I would ever want to use multiple time daily . it be just so entirely comfortable and fast . the other pump -lrb- even the hospital one -rrb- make I slightly sore and make pump a burden , especially the more frequently I use they . - one reviewer say it do not work with very large nipple . I have find this to be untrue , you just have to be more careful with the placement and wet you breast first with a little milk to make it easier for they to slide into the funnel . but it do work . +65 Baby NEG 1 great idea but will not suction to we wood table or formica counter top . only suction to smooth plastic top of highchair . and have to resuction to highchair several time during meal . +480 Baby POS 5 this outfit be so cute ! I of course have to buy it for my b\/g twin and it look very good on they ! good quality soft cotton . +445 Baby POS 4 this bib be a good product . keep baby clean from chin to wrist plus , he love the sound it make !! +460 Baby POS 5 my dd drool ton of saliva everyday , I have to change she several time at day but these really hold everything +561 Baby POS 5 I love this container for my son bath toy . its great so all the water get drain from all the toy - no more mildew grow in the bucket . +681 Baby NEG 2 I order this item for my then 3 month old daughter . she be constantly slump over in she car seat and stroller and I think this product would fix this problem . wrong . no matter how many time I adjust it , this neck saver keep slip off . it simply would not stay put , render it useless . I return the item for a full refund . +320 Baby POS 4 I purchase these seat back protector hope they would protect the seat from child 's foot . they work well . I have have they for several week and they have not droop , slide or sag . I recommend they . +952 Baby POS 5 both the blue and the pink Vulli Chan Pie Gnon Soft Chew Toy be order , one for each of my lovely twin granddaughter . I be hope they would chew on they own -- that do not work but they do like they . order be simple and they arrive very quickly with no problem . thank you ! +918 Baby NEG 2 be warn if you be buy this for a early teething baby . I buy this in advance for my little one , think that it would be a couple month until he need it . Whoops , he start teethe just this past week at 3 1\/2 month . I get this out and he do not know what to make of it . it be too large for he mouth . he be use to a pacifier and try to suck on the RaZberry . then he spit it out or it fall out . although he be able to grasp & hold a rattle and throw it around , he do not have the manual dexterity necessary to help hold the RaZberry teether in he mouth for it to work . we try to hold it up for he , but he little tongue push it out . right now what be work be plain old teething ring directly from the freezer . we help he hold on to those and he 'll chomp on they for some time . +789 Baby POS 5 because I care for child in my home , I need dependable supplies . the Grobag sleep bag be make to stump any devious toddler . it be lightly pad and the best part be the covered zipper -- the zipper pull be snap under a flap at the bottom -- great idea ! I wish there be a choice between sleeveless or with sleeve because you must make sure the child have a warm shirt on under the sleep bag . I would not hesitate to buy this product again even though it be pricey at $ 35 . +373 Baby POS 4 overall , nice bib ; great price . the bib be thick and soft and look just like in the pic . will be a great winter theme bib for the holiday ! +548 Baby POS 5 I have not wash it , yet , but the `` diaper '' appear to be very nice quality and thick . the ribbon be so bright and cute . it be really almost too pretty to use . +959 Baby POS 5 my little one could not stand other bib ! we try the one that tie , the one that close with velcro , and the towel bib with t-shirt neck , all of which be rip off and throw on the ground during mealtime . I see this waterproof sleeved smock style bib and decide to go with it because I figure that since my kid do wear shirt , a bib that be more like a shirt would work better . this hunch pay off : my little one want to keep wear she bib after meal be do and she apparently think this be a fashion accessory because she love to look at herself in the mirror while she have it on ! outside of the cuteness and the fact that my kid actually keep it on , this great waterproof bib be velvety smooth on the inside to prevent chafing -lrb- unlike many other waterproof bib we have try . the tie in the back be well place , so that curious hand can not easily reach and undo it . it be also longer than other bib that just stop midway down the body , and the long sleeve be another great feature for keep kid from get messy at mealtime or even when play with messy thing like paint , marker , etc. . in short , I will be recommend this item to anyone who ask and the next time I go to a shower , this will be one of my first gift choice ! +930 Baby POS 5 of all of the scratch mitten i have bought\/considered buying , these be the softest ! and it be a nice thing that they be organic as well ! i have no idea why previous reviewer think these be up to one year . they be perfect for a newborn . i now want everything this company make . +198 Baby POS 5 these cover be one of my favorite ! they be not to stiff or bulky and they fit perfectly with the corresponding GMD prefold ! +136 Baby POS 5 these bib be perfect for when you child start on solid food . my four-month-old be overwhelm by the regular Bumpkin bib . he keep get he hand catch up and block my path to he mouth . these little bib be perfectly size for he . they wash well and dry quickly . I have use a paper towel to spot clean and throw they in the wash machine and have good result . two be not enough , I be back to order more ! +240 Baby NEG 1 I buy these base on all the detailed favorable review . I work overseas and use foreign brand previously . -lrb- `` Popolini , '' a austrian brand , be we favorite for we first child , and we be still use some of they for # 2 . -rrb- however , in the country I be currently in there be no locally available option , so I order the Thirsties from Amazon . unfortunately , these leak terribly . with a newborn , they be good for about a hour at most . as soon as the diaper get damp , the trim on the thirsty wick moisture out and quickly saturate we son 's clothes . in other word , they be just about useless . we use the Popolini liner we purchase three year ago . they be bulky , but the Thirsties cover they fully with room to spare . I can not imagine that a different liner would work any better . in sum , the thirsty be of such little value to we that I be return they to Amazon -- shipping overseas to do so . +3 Baby POS 5 this be the perfect solution for all those bath toy for we . there be a compartment for shampoo , soap , loofah , etc , a compartment for small toy and a compartment for larger toy . I have not experience any molding , I just make sure it dry out before I use it next . the adjustable part of it allow I to fit it to my average size tub perfectly . this be so much better than anything that hang on the bathtub wall with suction cup ! +595 Baby POS 5 this be a huge help while my daughter be teethe . put it in the freezer for a half hour make all the difference . now she use it for she doll . +977 Baby POS 5 this swimsuit\/diaper be really nice . it be so thin , and fit well . I buy a medium for my son , who weigh 18 lb , and it fit great . I also buy a small for a friend who be have a baby , and it look perfect for a 7-12 lb baby . it be very cute , and seem very well-made . you do not need a separate diaper insert , or cover , or anything - it be all one piece . +383 Baby POS 5 I love this pad ! I almost purchase one for twice as much $ at a local major baby department store . SO glad I do not . this pad be just as thick as the other at half the price . this one also come four side , while the other be only raise on two of the four side . so final diagnosis ... equally padded for baby and more reassurance for parent . it be also rather long so I feel it will work throughout the entire diapering phase . this be the only change pad to purchase as far as I be concerned . you will not be disappoint . I have find that the Carter 's Super Soft change pad cover fit perfectly even after be wash and drye -lrb- on low heat setting -rrb- . +627 Baby POS 5 love these bib for my refluxy baby . she go through several a day . they be a little bit big around the neck , but she be only two month and these be for three month and up . +449 Baby POS 4 this outfit will shrink some if it be not wash carefully ; so head up on that . other than that ... I know my baby will look completely adorable . +244 Baby POS 5 there a ton of room on here for you thing . its a great little add on . +972 Baby NEG 2 I buy three of these for my new granddaughter . I have something similar for my kid when they be baby , call Pelican Bib , and they be awesome , so I do not hesitate to order these . they be a major disappointment . this bib be way too short , so it be always in the wrong place at the wrong time . we try one a couple of time , hope it would work , two of they we never use , and now they be all go to Salvation Army . the design be a great idea , but this particular interpretation miss the mark . +785 Baby POS 5 seriously , cuter than the picture -lrb- and almost as cute as the litte girl in the picture -rrb- ! they come in a cute , partially clear pastic packaging , so that they could be display appropriately . love they ! +962 Baby POS 5 I have be use these for about a week now . I be exclusively pump at the moment for my Preemie and the NICU recommend I use storage bag instead of invest in storage bottle . I have not have a issue like some say with leak . then again I put mine directly in the freezer after pump . I have never see mine leak once yet . I can not say how they be if keep in a diaper bag or anything after thaw but then again how much of anything liquid would fare well in a ziplock type baggy if be carry around ?? I will keep buy these becuase they work for I . +135 Baby POS 4 this be a great mobile , have lot of setting and the baby can turn it on and off . I wait till my son be 8 month old and I think that be too late . he like it ok , but it do not help he sleep or be happy sit in he crib alone . +370 Baby NEG 1 we get this as a gift for we daughter , who be only 16month , but be show sign of interest in potty training because we be train she older brother . after month of trial we have finally have some success with he on the Fisher-Price precious planet Froggy friend Potty now that he finally get it , but still need a potty chair , we think we would introduce she to she own chair , and the 3-in-1 be what be give to we . we keep he out and portable , but keep this one in the bathroom since it double as a step-stool for hand-washing . that be about all it be good for , at least for a boy . the few time we have use it for he , the shield be basically useless for he . he have to lean forward and really hold still to keep it under the shield . and when he do get the stream under the shield , it just end up all go under the cushy seat , and soak in like a sponge . the opening in the seat be very small , and hard to keep both front and back part of a boy over . so if # 2 be not directly in the center of the seat of the bowl , and the seat be a sponge , it be pretty hard to get clean out . at least not in a timely matter of `` yay ! success ! '' then wash hand , dance and reward the training toddler . you 'll have to come back later -lrb- after just a few minute -rrb- and clean it , but hopefully fast enough that the mess have not all absorb into the sponge . maybe it 'll work better for we daughter , who be smaller and do not need to worry about a shield guard . but for boy , get a different potty chair . +676 Baby POS 5 my son do not take a pacifer and he do not normally use this item except when he be teethe . he will chew on this all day long when he tooth be break the gum . it work esp . well if you put it in the freezer . my son chew on the handle even more that he chew on the raz-berry part . +309 Baby POS 5 of all of the hundred I have new baby item I have accumulate in the 3 month since I have become a mom , these bib by far be the best product . I never do a feeding without grab one . they be soft , the baby actually seem to like wear they , and they seem to clean well and absorb all of the spill . highly recommend ! +701 Baby NEU 3 we try everything when we daughter be teethe , include the raz-berry . at first she like the novelty of the cold , but she never get into actually chew on it . I think this may be because it be somewhat shape like a pacifier and she never take to pacifier either . also , when freeze the plastic of the raspberry do not seem to give very much . she favorite teether be Sophie the Giraffe . she also really enjoy we put ice cube in the munchkin fresh food feeder bag . she love that ! if nothing else it be always a good distraction . +177 Baby POS 5 Excelente ! lo recomiendo 100 % , el envio fue rapido , el articulo llego tal cual fue descrito en las caracteristicas del producto . . Compra realizada desde Venezuela !! +466 Baby NEG 2 I purchase these pants so I could take my baby in the pool without have to worry about special waterproof diaper . these pants do not work for the purpose that I purchase they for so I can not really rate these for they correct usage . if you be look for alternative cover for swimming or water play , these be not the answer . +267 Baby NEG 2 have I write this review before this past weekend I would have give this pack-n-play 5 star . we have have one of these for a little over 2 year and be completely happy with it until now . this past weekend a small plastic piece in the folding mechanism on the bottom of the play yard fail . GRACO be unable or unwilling to sell a replacement part and they have say there be nothing they can do . the customer service rep -lrb- contact via email -rrb- be pleasant enough and give we a rebate form which be good for $ 40 . I do not know if we will spend almost $ 200 -lrb- again -rrb- for a `` premium play yard '' that wont last . +690 Baby POS 5 the applique barnyard print be adorable and we be glad we purchase it . a few thing about the product : although micro-fleece be a breathable fabric , I still have to watch baby to make sure she do not get too warm in this . so long as you be conscientious , it can be a great item for winter night . one nice advantage about the Micro-Fleece be that when baby spit up after feed , the Micro-Fleece do not seem to allow she sleeper underneath to get damp -lrb- whereas the cotton sleep sack keep a wet spot longer and also get the sleeper she be wear damp too -rrb- . just a small thing , but it be worth mention . for more detail about the product and more view of the product picture , I check out the manufacturer 's website . that be very helpful . +845 Baby POS 5 this be amazing when I travel with my 2 year old twin . I tie one car seat to the suitcase and stack the second one on top . obviously the kid go separately : -rrb- work great ! +289 Baby NEG 1 surely Lansinoh must have some idea how much time , sacrifice and emotion go into each and every ounce of breastmilk a mother pump to store for she baby . why on earth would you sell we something that leak so badly ?! I exclusively pump breastmilk for 9 1\/2 month to feed my daughter because we be unable to nurse . I store ton of milk in these Lansinoh bag in the freezer . if only I would have know before it come time to actually thaw the milk , how crappy these bag be , I would have switch to another brand 9 month ago ! probably about 75-80 % of these bag leak along the seam -lrb- many in multiple place -rrb- while thawing . now that I be on my last stash of milk today and have 99.9 % wean from pump , I have spend some time cry over my sink as the last few bag of milk for my little one spout fountain -lrb- that I can not quite capture into a bottle -rrb- out the bottom and side seam and run down the drain . yes , thanks a lot , Lansinoh , for make the last few remnant of liquid gold -lrb- that cost I so much emotionally already -rrb- cause I more stress and tear once again . +430 Baby NEG 1 I have buy 2 of these bib , and have only have a problem with the polka dot pattern one . the instruction say they be machine washable , but the print start come off after I hand wash it with regular dishwashing detergent . then , the wash machine take the rest of the color off the bib . it be effective at keep the baby clean and I be always surprise at how much food be catch in the front pocket , but , for the price , I would expect it to stay look new as well . I have have it replace twice now , and will just get a refund this time . this do not happen with the flower pattern . +389 Baby POS 5 if you be do you part to save the environment as well as some cash by use cloth diaper , this be the diaper cover to own ! I use the small diaper cover from the time my son be a newborn -lrb- 7lb 9oz -rrb- until he be 7 month old -lrb- 18.5 lb -rrb- . when he be a newborn , the leg opening be a little big , however we overlap and angle the side velcro strap when fasten to minimize the gap and never have a problem with leakage . we use small size pre-fold as well as old fashion fold-them-yourself diaper which fit perfectly in the small size thirsty . we go up to the medium size thirsty when we upgrade to the large size cloth diaper . he could still fit the small thirsty if we use medium size diaper . I fully expect the medium size thirsty cover to last he till he be potty train since there be a wide range of adjustment . these thirsty be easy to clean and dry quickly on the line . they seem to be comfortable and breathable since we have never have a problem with diaper rash and my son have very sensitive skin . they also last a long time ! I receive my first Thirstie from a friend who use they for she two son . the velcro be not as strong as my new cover but strong enough to hold the cover on . we have never have a problem with leakage on that one either and this be the third baby bottom it be cover ! +362 Baby POS 5 love this necklace . I be so sad that I could no longer wear jewelry because my son try to pull everything . not only be this necklace gorgeous , but my son love to play with it . I have have numerous compliment on how beautiful this necklace be . I recommend it for any mommy . +616 Baby NEG 1 I be sit at work pump as I write this ... just like other reviewer I have have problem with milk in the tubing since day one . I `` m currently on my third set of tubing in the past 4 month . I have call medela several time a they be completely unhelpful . they tell I basically just wash out the tubing which be nearly impossible . they tube always look cloudy and gross . I do not want to wash the tubing I want my breast milk to go into the container not the tubing that be why I pay $ 300 for this thing . my hospital have a lacatation boutique I call there to make a appointment to see if it be a `` I '' problem . when I go they say `` its not you at all there be a defect in the pump it happen all the tim '' then they hand I a new set of tubing for $ 16 and say goodluck . I guess since there be not too many option to choose from medelum do not care about fix this problem . but its gross and unhygenic ... +141 Baby POS 4 the outfit come just as I expect . its super cute for any military family or otherwise . I buy for my nephew and I just love it ! +879 Baby POS 5 I get these block when my daughter be 5 month old and she love they right away . she be now 9 month and she still love they . she seem to like the crinkly block better than the rattly\/jingly block , but they all have something different that attract she to each of they . I wish there be more than just 4 of these block ! we always bring at least one block with we when we go out in the car . wash machine have yet to destroy they , I just put they in a mesh bag on the gentle cycle . +429 Baby NEU 3 we have a 11 month old and a 6 month old that could not care less about this . they be more interested in just hold it then use it as a teether or pacifier . I personally think it be pretty neat , but they just do not care about it so it be kind of a waist . at least it be not too expensive . +44 Baby NEG 1 I never feel comfortable nursing my baby ... physically comfortable . I always feel like he be sit too high or too low to be comfortable . I think there be just no happy medium and that maybe I be do something wrong . after visit my lactation specialist she have a nursing wedge that I use and suddenly it feel so much more relaxing . I be not strain to hold he head in position like I do with the boppy . it be firm and not pillowey where he would sink into it . but I do not want to ditch the boppy so quickly after just buy it so I stick it out for a few more month then eventually just start prop he up with pillow until it feel comfortable . next baby I be get the nursing wedge ! +368 Baby POS 5 Got this to go with we Baby Cache Lifetime crib and dresser , also in white - look great with it ! fit we summer infant change pad just fine . it do have the Graco logo on one side , but it be not super obnoxious . my Dad assemble it , so I can not comment on that aspect specifically , but he seem to put it together quickly and do not make any complaint ! also , no trouble with Amazon in term of shipping , etc. . very happy with this purchase ! +762 Baby POS 4 this be a great bib . snap firmly in place , so no wear out velcro to deal with . catch food well . I have throw it in the washer on cold before , but my only concern be that after 6 month the bib be start to smell . it have a canvas backing which I think be the problem +978 Baby NEU 3 this be a okay seat . the cushion be cute but not cushy and not really hooked well . it slide all over the place . the cushion do wash well though . but honestly we have take it out and just wash the plastic . the waist strap be too loose and do not tighten . luckily we son be big enough so the tray help hold he in . it do the job if you do not have enough room for a highchair but you may want to keep look . +974 Baby NEG 2 i have buy several item from luvable friend and i will be honest to say i love they product . but these bib , although cute , be simply too small for we baby which be 5 month when we receive they . also the velcro part be too big and too rough . +254 Baby NEG 1 I have to say , I be so excited to see these online . they have some super cute vibrant color option , which be very entice to I . however , when they arrive I be extremely disappoint in the quality of the sewing . they have several loose thread , and two side be poorly surge together in a very cheap manor . so not worth the price they be charge . +76 Baby POS 5 this infant starter kit keep my baby soothe and happy ; in fact this have be among my most value product ever purchase on Amazon . nothing work better than something that keep the young one quiet , happy , and content ! +334 Baby POS 4 we have use the sleep sheep since we son be 8 week old and be convince it help he fall asleep on he own . since we be go on vacation I think it would be a good idea to buy the travel version as to minimize he routine , but it turn out the travel version do not have the same sound ! we favorite be the whale sound , which be much higher pitched and truthfully very uncomfortable to listen to . 5 star for cloud b though , they return my email right away and within a week send I a new , original sound machine to replace the one in the travel sheep . thank you amazon as always for you fast shipping . as a new mom I do not know what I would have do without my amazon mom account ! +500 Baby POS 4 this be the first bib that actually keep my baby girl dry while she be teething\/sick . I have add pack on my wish list for Christmas ! +532 Baby NEG 1 I receive this bib and notice something be not right . instead of say " I love Santa " the bib read " I love s n a " it be miss the red a and t !! apparently no one check the product before it be send ! I be return it obviously . +34 Baby POS 5 warm and soft . Easy to put on baby . my little one laugh at the zipper when we put it on he and take it off . Roomy enough for he squirmy little leg and do not restrict he sit up when he wake . +163 Baby NEU 3 I have use a lot of the sleep sack in the past , and they have be great . I buy the `` walker '' version for we 19 month old , since she obviously need foot hole so she can walk . I read other review that complain about these be way too big , and wow be they right ... I buy the large -lrb- 12-18months -rrb- because people say they run big . here be the rundown on the size - Sleep Sack be 12-18months , suppose to fit 30-35 inch , and 22-28 lb . we daughter be 19 month , 32 inch , and 23 lb . THIS THING be HUGE !!! I try it on she , and the bottom part all the way around just drag all over the floor , a literal pool of material at she foot . she can walk , but eventually trip over all the material . she be not able to stand up on she own because she step on all the extra material around she foot , and be basically pin down by it . so disappoint in the size . if the 12-18 month size be way too big for my above average height 19 month old , there be no way it would fit most 12-18 month old . the large be the smallest size with foot , so this have to be return . if the size be better , I would love this . +829 Baby POS 4 pro : Ties at upper back so son can not rip it off after use this 100s of time , nothing have ever get on he shirt sleeve wipe clean easily Elastic cuff stay put con : pocket do not catch much food -lrb- I use a molded plastic bib on top of it -rrb- Elastic on sleeve cuff stain easily +668 Baby POS 5 I want to buy a first baby doll for my 11 month old grandson and this have prove to be the best . he take the doll out of the pea pod and point to the eye , mouth , hand and hair . he love to feel the softness of the fabric in the pod . he put the baby back into the pod and hug it . he favorite toy be truck and car and book but this little toy have become one of he favorite also . this be the best baby doll for a little boy . thanks !!! +283 Baby POS 5 we baby be strictly breastfeed from birth , however , one day he decide that he want to drink from the bottle , and now he have practically wean himself from nursing . until now I do not experience life with bottle , nipple , pump part etc , and dry they on top of a towel on the countertop be quite a challenge , because there be never enough air to dry the bottle and part completely . now that we have this dry rack , I just put all bottle , nipple and pump part in it and they all get dry very quickly . I be definitely recommend this product , as it take very little counter space and it do the job very nicely . will be give it as a baby shower gift to all my future expect friend ! +842 Baby POS 5 def . worth the purchase . it be so cute . not cheap look at all . love the box ` golf cart ' it come in ! soft material and tastefully make . +502 Baby POS 4 I love this product , great size , and design , large enough to cover most of you shoulder , and also work as a bib for when you start solid . but i can get get 6 cloth diaper burp cloth for the price of this one . make a great shower gift ! +831 Baby POS 5 my six month old daughter have be use this activity center for several month and absolutely love it . she will play in it for long period of time since she can easliy swivel the seat to get to a new toy , and she really love the bright color and sound . we use it with the stabilizer foot in place and it never seem too unstable for she , even when she be bounce as much as she can . it be easy to assemble and the part come apart easily if need for cleaning . after research and read many review , I be glad I decide to order this activity center and be sure my daughter will continue to enjoy it for month to come . +472 Baby NEG 1 I do not know if you have to super-mommy-sens to make head or tail of this product , and I certainly do not have any . I be fully confuse with this installation . the instruction be very inadequate , only a few word and rudamentary picture on the back of the small packaging - not to mention that the most of the instruction be cover in a sale sticker , thus render they completely useless . I end up with bit and peice that I simply could not figure out at all , and a very ` rig ' installation . Boo .

Compact and look great . +399 Bag POS 4 the case attend all my expectative . my Nikon d50 be confortable now : -rrb- +231 Bag POS 4 I can only agree with everybody else . the bad be big , but it pay off after a while , becuase you can carry Smart Media card , battery , a camera , a cable , a pair of sunglass and a micro-recording device in this bag at the same time . for I as a music journalist , that be a great thing . the bad thing be that you can not really wear it over yur shoulder like a bigger bag . it look and feel dumb . besides that , this be a good product . +462 Bag POS 4 well , like my title say , this bag be perfect for my little Fuji digital . I be able to throw in 2 set of battery in the side pocket , carry my wallet and cell in the front zip , the camera in the middle , and a extra memory card . my only complaint about this bag be the lack of stability in the middle . unless you very careful , with a lot of bumping , I think the camera would get damage = not a good thing . but overall , if you need a quick , down and dirty bag , this be pretty darn good . for the money , it be worth it . +106 Bag NEU 3 it be realy a nice bag however it to small for every thing to fit in if you have load of accesory to fit in +948 Bag POS 5 this sander replace a old craftsman sander that die . the Bosch be lighter and easier to use in tight spot such as rafter cutout on beam . there be enough power to lean on it without stall when sand tough knot on big beam . hard to go wrong with a Bosch tool . +530 Bag POS 5 it be always a pleasure to use a well design product . the 1274dv be such a product . the belt change be a snap ; pull the lever back , install the belt , push the lever back . Belt tracking adjustment be easy and stay put . the front grip come off and allow sand in tight place . I have develop `` tennis elbow '' and this sander 's light weight help : 7lb vs. pc 's highly rate weight of 13 . when you use a sander vertically or overhead , that make a big difference . the speed control be simple to adjust , and be variable by the amount of tension place on the trigger . even if you have it set to max speed , by not pull the trigger all the way , the speed will be less than max . the sander be make in Switzerland , and this have to be better than China . this sander feel great out of the box , sand flat and I highly recommend it . +201 Bag POS 4 this be a great sander for a homeshop that be also a great buy for industrial use . inexpensive and agile . the belt system use on this sander make the workpiece highly visible . also it be easy to keep from dip . pro \*\* inexpensive \*\* lightweight \*\* very agile con \*\* not the best tracking system \*\* dust collector blow off -lrb- or get in the way -rrb- alot . \*\* require alot of blow out . +469 Bag POS 5 Quality 's a + , get it cheaper than advertise elsewhere and the most convenient ever to carry my camcorder , regular and digital camera + battery , film and binoculars . +643 Bag POS 5 I have have this tool 2 year so far no problem , lot of power work great compare to the more expensive model do the same job . +274 Bag NEU 3 my first impression be this package have be previously open . after plug in for the first time , see dust blow out ... obviously get someone 's return product . not blow away with appearance . send back for Makita instead ... hopefully this will be new as advertise . +890 Bag POS 5 I have be a loyal BH Photo customer for over fifteen year . but a friend suggest that I try adorama as he think they be a first class company . the Tamrac bag be my first order place with adorama and it will certainly not be my last . it be a painless transaction and I couldnt be happier with the product and the service . the price be unbeatable . in all fairness I must say that BH Photo be a great company to do business with , but if price be you primary concern , then adorama be the way to go . +941 Bag NEG 2 Bosch 1274dv 6.6 amp 3-inch by 21-inch variable speed In-Line Belt Sander with Cloth dust bag several of my favorite tool be Bosch so we start out on good term . however the dust collector plug up early on and I could not get it to work again . then the tracking quit adjusting . finally it just stop in the middle of sand a big table top , maybe overheate ? it be in the trash and I return to my tired old Makita . +682 Bag POS 5 this sander be the best ! best design . track beautifully . the on line price be reasonable . you will not be sorry for buy this model . +509 Bag POS 5 I have purchase about 5 of these at various sale price at Amazon ... from $ 9 to $ 16 . the bag be great . extremely well make , strong and tough . I use one as my range -lrb- gun -rrb- bag . it easily hold 30 pound plus without even strain . a definite keeper . +347 Bag POS 5 my Canon A80 , Panasonic BQ-390 quick charger with 4 extra battery , uplink cord , a\/v patch cord and extra cf card all fit nicely in this case . there be a little more room in it for a few other thing too . the little rain hood that be sew in the back be a plus that I do not expect . Great case , compact design . beat the snot out of the Canon case hand down . +669 Bag POS 4 bag fit good , however there be alot of dust that the bag dose not collect . +504 Bag POS 4 this bag seem well construct and look like it will last awhile . the Pentax K100D Super w\/18 -55 mm lens fit fine and the storage pouch will fit extra battery , memory card and some lens filter & clean item perhaps . will not take much more than that . I would like to have see a little more padding throughout but I be very pleased with it anyway . +906 Bag POS 5 I buy 2 of these , for 2 set of cable , a normal pair and a large pair . after have to stuff the small set in one bag I look at the other set and say no way . -lrb- I be go to write a snarky review -rrb- after read other review , I decide to give it a try with the large set of cable - they fit , only just , but they fit . so ok fine . but this bag really should be a little bigger . as for my heavy extension cord , no way they be not fittin ! +305 Bag POS 5 first , I be bias . I own several Bosch tool and I like they . this belt sander be no exception . it be well balanced , easy to handle , small enough to get in some pretty tight space , and the variable speed be a definite plus . the first thing I use it for be to take some old rough paint off about 400 foot of fascia . not exactly fun even with this tool but at least my arm do not feel like they be go to fall off when I be do -lrb- like the last time I do this with my ancient craftsman -rrb- . at the lowest speed -lrb- to minimize clog -rrb- with 40 grit belt it take about 3-4 hour and I spend as much time move my home-made scaffolding as actually sand . +262 Bag POS 4 most tote be a little dowdy , but I like the way this one look and feel . it be sturdy and it hold lot of stuff : from my computer to several book , file , and the all-important lunch . +812 Bag POS 4 I have a extra long set of heavy gauge , bulky jumper cable . they have come to the rescue for coworker and other many time . the box they be in start fall apart , and I be tire of wrestle with it and not have a good way to grab they and move they around when I be loading\/unloading stuff from the trunk of my car . I be a little worried this bag might not hold the larger cable , but they fit just fine . the bag be tough and sturdy . the round shape do not snag on junk in the trunk , and the handle make maneuver the cable out of the way much easier . and when my coworker need he 20th jump and \* still \* have not purchase he own darn set of cable , I 'll feel better about chunk this at he head . : - -rrb- +652 Bag POS 5 if you be just look for a case to protect you valuable camera , this be it ! it look good , be lightweight , and a great price . I just need a case to store my camera in and make sure it do not get bang and scratch when travel with the camera , and this fit the bill exactly ! +741 Bag POS 5 when you look at this bag you think , why should I spend $ 60 on a tool bag when I can spend $ 35 on someone els ? it just do not make sense . well here 's why you should buy this one . look at the picture for the other bag . you will see bag that be similar and be full of tool . the difference be that these bag have they zipper in the middle of the top of the bag . so a full bag mean it do not close . the Dewalt bag have the zipper around the top of the bag , so it be actually a lid . this be a nylon box ! it be amazing how much you can cram into this bag . the question be how strong be you ? I have 2 , so now I walk around look like a neanderthal . this bag be strong and sturdy . no sag in the middle . you 'll never wear it out . I stuff nailer , saw , grinder in this bag . nothing will destroy it . you could even take it to a airline and they could not destroy it . I have get 2 and I be go to buy my third . I like to be able to seal my tool into a bag so no one can see they . there be too many wander eye that want to steal my tool . in the long run this bag be worth it . +122 Bag POS 5 nice leather ! really soft ! even so you use DSLR , you can place it easyly . I love it !! +751 Bag POS 4 I finally get tire of housing my Bostitch n88rh in the cardboard box it come in because of how much space it take up in my cabinet , and I be kind of disappointed that Bostitch do not make a hard plastic carry case for it like what come with my trim and brad nailer . after read all the review for all the frame nailer bag I could find , I finally go with Bucket Boss because I have a couple other product from they and the review say it would fit my Bostitch frame nailer while some review for other bag say they either would not or barely do . I can confirm that the Bostitch n88rh frame nailer fit in this bag no problem . once or twice it seem like the zipper be tight get over the top of the bag with the nailer inside , but that turn out to just be how the gun be place inside the bag because the rest of the time there be room to spare . the pouch on the outside of the bag be not quite large enough to contain the shoulder strap and still zip close , and there be a narrow pocket on the inside of the bag that hold the metal connector trip that come with my gun . I like to keep my manual with my tool so I would have like to also have a pocket on the inside wide enough to fit the manual , but this bag do not have one . +275 Bag NEG 1 I do multiple install in a day and any product that can save I time make I money . clean up be a requirement and I be hope this bag would at least help with contain the pile of sawdust that my bosch table create . it do not . in fact , the bag will catch about a 1\/3 or less and then because you have cover the exhaust hole , the sawdust will then blow back thru the blade opening into you face , even with the blade barely expose over you material . this blow back of course cause a dust cloud around the saw . its faster to clean up a large pile of sawdust on the ground from the exhaust hole than clean up a 5 ' area all around the saw from that dust cloud create by use the bag . it look nice and be big enough , but doesnt do the job at all . +846 Bag POS 4 I purchase this bag to carry my woodturning tool . it be the right length , have plenty of pocket for small item , and have a opening that allow easy access . the bag be everything I want , but the sharp tool cut the material on the end of the bag . the remedy , I glue leather in the end of the bag . now it be prefect ... well , some wheel would be nice ... +477 Bag POS 5 this be a great addition to my yellow tool collection . I have have tool box problem for year and have use several of these handy bag to solve the problem . Highley recomend this one and the 17 '' one . +321 Bag POS 5 this Bucket Boss be very functional for automotive use and be a top quality construction . I recommend they product ! +841 Bag POS 5 this bag be handy and good finish from outside and inside , definitely a good one for the price , stongly recommend . +880 Bag NEG 2 I 'll start off by state that I love all of my other Bosch tool - from all the laser goody to to the pneumatic to my planer . but , whoever be in charge of put Bosch 's name on this piece of dung from Switzerland -lrb- where it be make -rrb- , should be fire ! actually , the tool do have some strong point ; e.g. , a light yet solid feeling , it be ergonomic & have the ability to be invert & use as table top sander because of its unique brick-like shape . however , the bloody platen be not wide enough to incorporate a standard 3 '' belt ! in other word , with the belt adjust all the way inboard , there be still circa 3\/16 '' of the outboard edge of the belt off of the platen & roller ... what a waste !!! I call Bosch Tech support & the guy have the nerve to tell I that `` some belt manufacture make they belt a little wider than standard & so they can over extend the roller & platen . '' I promptly refute , `` the belt be the same belt that come in the box from Bosch ! '' I tell he I would be send it back to Amazon & buy another brand . then he state , `` well , we 4 `` x24 '' be a much better belt sander '' & suggest that I try it . I laugh & bid he a good day ! I do not want a bigger sander , which be exactly why I choose a 3 `` x21 '' ! bottom line be the tracking knob be turn all the way in & the belt be still circa 3\/16 '' from the inside edge of the sander . if this sander simply have another 1\/4 '' meat on the platen and roller , I would have likely keep it ; but instead , another manufacturer will get my business ! come on , Bosch ... time to release a new model or find another manufacturer !!! +158 Bag POS 5 those who say that they can not fit they camera must have a full blow camera that be bigger than my usb power zip drive -lrb- that do not fit in the bag , but only 25 % of it be length stic out -rrb- the Olympus Stylus Zoom 80 camera I bout fit in the front sendondary compartment and you can shove 2 roll of film in that same compartment and have the big primary compartment leftover for all the other stuff . the primary compartment will hold 4 zip250 disk in they case plus the usb connector cable , with the camera in the secondary compartment . bottom line , this be probably the best camera bag you can buy for $ 10 or less . +218 Bag POS 4 on current price , it be value for money . it can hold my camera -lrb- k100d -rrb- and other accesory -lrb- wire + rechargeable kit + book -rrb- . if you need to carry a extra lens I woud recommend you to buy SLR bag instead of Holster bag . however if you wish to carry just one lens along with you camera , like I then you can go for it . +811 Bag POS 5 I have be research camera , this one sound like a good find . sadly , there be not that many review for it . I want a camera that have good zoom and be quiet . the `` Spy Camera '' comment definately push I toward this item . still look ... +964 Bag POS 5 the bag be strongly make and provide a good compact way to maintain order when carry around you jumper cable for that time when you or someone else may need a jump . it appear it should last for a long time and that be what be important to I . +499 Bag POS 5 the bag be top quality . I purchase it for my panasonic dvd camcorder . everything fit perfect . plenty of room for extra disc 's and battery . Great little bag +51 Bag POS 5 very well design and manufacture machine . balance be near perfect , and use with one hand be comfortable and always in control . compare to a similar design sander , make by AEG , this sander be much more comfortable and better balanced . if you be a serious woodworker , this belt sander will spoil you . once you use this sander , you will not want to use a sander with a different design again . +464 Bag POS 5 I buy this bag to carry my Cannon Powershot A70 digital camera . I want a bag that would fit the camera , along with some accessory . I fit the camera snuggly to one side with help from the moveable divider , and the connection cable in the other side . there be lot of extra room for battery and memory card too . I be origionally look for something smaller , but everything would not fit in smaller bag . this turn out to be the perfect solution for I . Enough room for my stuff , with out be too large ! highly recomended ! +494 Bag POS 5 my porter-cable belt sander finally die after a painful life . painful to I because it be terribly loud , overheate repeatedly require multiple replacement part , have a ill-placed dust collector , and be too heavy . the Makita be a massive improvement ! ear muff be not require . the dust collector be not ram up in you face . I do not dread use it at all . +877 Bag POS 5 this spacious tool bag be wonderful and so roomy that I wish I have buy two of they . I definitely recommend this tool bag . +650 Bag POS 5 the only thing miss be a tool case and a decent manual with part list and explode view , etc. . no info on accessory product include either . seem Makita be cut corner everywhere . that say , this sander work very well , and be a professional quality tool . +336 Bag POS 5 not too big , not too small ... just the right size for my dslr , a rather large flash , three extra battery and memory card , and three lens . the bag be well design to protect you camera against rain and bumping . the camera body with lens attach be design to sit on the left side center with the lens run down the middle - the bag 's design be flexible enough to support short stubby lens or the longer telephoto lens . there be two accessory pouch with one up front for battery and memory card and the other up on the cover for anything else . I put my cable , tool , and cleaning cloth up there . the top secure with three rather large strap clip and it come with a nice shoulder strap . there be strap on the left and right which accept accessory pouch from the Tamrac MX line . the fit and finish seem top rate and worthy of year and year worth of service . +112 Bag NEU 3 I look long and hard before decide on the Tamrac pro 8 . I receive my bag a little over a month ago and until last night I be pretty much satisfied with it . the division system be a bit hard to get use to but you can rearrange it since the wall be velcro . it be important to point out that with the default configuration you will be stack lens . the lens on the bottom row will be cover with a velcro pad and not easily accessible . I will point out that after come to a setup I could work with I have a nice amount of velcro debris in the bottom that I end up vacuum out , you will want to do the same so those bugger can not make it into you gear . I mention I be more or less satisfied until last night . a trident on one of the quick snap buckle break off . I be more careful than most with my gear so if the bag be already break down with light use I be a bit worried about the long term implication here . Tamrac have a 5 year warranty on they bag but the caveat be you must pay shipping each way and they quote at least a two week turn around . there be plenty of other snap so I 'll hold off on get it service for now . it be nice to know that if it degrade any further I can have it repair or replace for the cost of shipping both way . +496 Bag POS 4 I be really hope this bag would help collect some of my sawdust . after a week of use it about two inch of dust have accumulate in the bag . actually most of the dust blow out of every other opening in my bosch saw . the bag seem to catch bigger shaving . I have not be saw any mdf or fine dust produce material so it may help more with those . the problem seem that all the shaving keep clog up in my dust port . on the plus side the bag have a squeeze clamp on it so it will work on just about anything . +186 Bag POS 5 I already have the smaller version of this bag but it be time to move up a little . I have a larger Tamrac backpack bag I use everyday , but do not have room for my `` strobist '' gear . I can fit 4 sb900 speedlight with some smaller modifier plus a few Justin clamp in the bag , along with a few other odds and end . I toss this in the back seat of my truck to have what I need in a hurry without weigh down my regular bag , kind of a second bag for I . I be not fond of a regular bag for everyday use , much prefer my backpack style bag . my only complaint be that I wish it be bigger , but that be my mistake in order , not they fault . +804 Bag POS 5 I believe this camera bag be quite big . but my wife be happy . anyway , great material . +575 Bag NEG 2 the bag I receive do not fit the description list here on the site . the bag be much larger and have no divider to keep the camera safely inside it . it be so large I could fit about four of my Olympus Camedia 520 's in it . even the hangtag on the bag describe thing that be not in it . I have a great deal of trouble find how to contact Amazon about this problem and be now await and ARS container to return it for a refund . from read other review I see I be not the only one to receive a bag much different from the one describe here on the site . I will be buy a replacement from a store where I can actually see what I be get . +64 Bag POS 5 just get my messenger bag and load the laptop and other `` essential '' stuff in it . I like it . quality construction and material . Enough pocket for stuff that need pocket . I , too , would like the other side of the laptop compartment pad . a divider inside the bag would be nice too . but those be nit . it be the best reasonably price messenger bag I have see . +17 Bag POS 5 I like this bag . I have 3 of they , and love they all . strong quality . its only weak point seem to be where in connect to the shoulder strap . Seem a little weak , but have not bust yet . if it be to break , it would still be a great functional bag though . +630 Bag POS 5 I be pretty skeptical before buy this , but the review be all great , so i try . and this be a very good stuff : I can put my dell notebook there and some book , plus a few shirt to tavel overnight . I even use to to go to office . this be just the good bag i need . very highly recommend . +40 Bag POS 5 I have a old Craftsman belt sander before and it do not have a dust bag . it make a mess all over my workshop . I have read in several magazine about dust bag on belt sander and many of they do not do what they be suppose to do . I read the 15 review on the Amazon site and they all claim this Makita be the best . I be totally satisfy . it surely do a exceptional job at keep the saw dust in the bag . +311 Bag POS 5 this bag really do hold everything ! I do not have a laptop but that be not a problem because I use that section as a place to put thing I need quickly or to put away safely like contact lense case and stuff like that . with the very handy clip for the key , I be not stand out in the rain hunting for key that have fall to the bottom of the bag . I would seriously recommend this bag to anyone who need a little more versatility but want a bag that would not look out of place at work either . one particularly fine day , I manage to fit in book , a mini picnic and my jacket and not once do my shoulder feel like it be about to break . no mean feat . buy it , buy it now ! +378 Bag POS 5 I purchase this to organize small tool in the event of a emergency . after receive I discover it make a excellent camera bag , if you be a camera junkie like I . I like to take several different camera with I to plan event and this bag have the room to hold more than one and the accessory . great bag with many different use ! +780 Bag POS 4 large , tough . only negative be that zipper closing be a bit awkward , and clasp closure be not adequate . two clasp would be better . +266 Bag POS 5 this bag hold more than most bag in term of clean , organized group of equipment . I fit 2 full size dslr -lrb- Canon 1d series body -rrb- . one with lens attach . 5 lens include a 70-200 2.8 , 24-70 2.8 , 17-40 f4 , and 2 prime lens . also pack in the bag be 2 external flash , card , battery , and misc little gadget I use on a regular basis . once fill , it weigh quite a bit , but still feel comfortable consider the weight on my shoulder . this bag be great for long trip when luggage space be limit . I can not stand roller , so I find this to be the best fit for I . for shoot sports\/nature\/portraits \/ etc. . . this bag can take whatever you throw at it . for the price ? it be a no-brainer . I would recommend this bag to anyone who be look for more space to lug camera\/video equipment . my favorite feature of the bag be probably the external pocket which be design so well -lrb- imho -rrb- . they be easy to use and organize with as well . they fit cards\/batteries\/flashes perfectly . it be like they design it specifically for a professional photographer ! who have a thunk ? +269 Bag POS 5 I be pleasantly suprised when my long heavy gauge jumper cable fit easily into this bag and now behind the seat be a lot neater ... +447 Bag POS 5 this be a nice digital camera bag , very sturdy and well padded . the interior have a soft plush lining to prevent lcd screen damage . it be a perfect size for a `` point & shoot '' type digital camera , such as the Olympus d360l . the front of the case zip open on both side to reveal a flap with mesh pocket suitable for a spare set of nimh battery , cable or extra memory card . it also feature a sewn on belt loop and removable shoulder strap . well make & compact . +343 Bag NEU 3 Tamrac be a great company . this bag be well construct , visibly durable and nicely design , but it just be not a good size . if you really do hope to fit in two DSLR 's with lens attach of normal length , you 'll be disappoint to find out theres hardly any room leave to fit a long lens or a even two normal lens . it be just too cramped . although the pocket on the top , front , and side of the bag be great and fit lot of thing , the main compartment be too small to fit two camera and lens comfortably . I be return mine and upgrade to the pro 12 , which be a perfect size for two body and 2 or 3 lens and a flash . +525 Bag POS 5 this Bosch belt sander be a dream , I have own and try out many belt sander over the span of 40 year . this sander track straight , be lightweight and nearly dust-free . . the cord be the longest one I have see as well . I usually hate sand , however with this fine piece of equipment the task be much easier . I highly recommend this tool . Phil S. NH +818 Bag POS 5 I purchase this last week and get it a few day ago . this be a great digital camera bag . I do extensive research before commit and I must say it pay off . the bag have a nice divider which I use to seperate my cable from my camera . it also be line with a soft fabric so you lcd screen be not scratch . I must say that if you stuff the main compartman , the front compartment be basially render useless . the front area have two laminated compartment for smartmedium or compactflash card . they be basically the only two thing that will fit since the camera in the main compartment make it a very tight fit . +827 Bag POS 5 I highly recommend this tool bag for anything from fishing gear to gardening tool . the canvas be good quality . +817 Bag POS 5 well make , great camera bag for the price . plenty of storage for battery , charger and extra media smart card . excellent value for the money . +375 Bag POS 5 this be a perfect digital camera bag and have many compartment . the inside have a divider -lrb- adjustable -rrb- so that you can carry the camera and other accessory -lrb- a cell phone in my case -rrb- . it be fairly spacious so that a variety of camera fit inside . my Kodak dc4800 fit fine . there be also zipper compartment for storage of flash card , spare battery and instruction manual . the include shoulder strap be adjustable . there be currently 2 version of this bag . Mine have a zipper around the top -- a friend of mine buy one and hers look exactly as picture in this ad . you will not be disappoint with this bag . +853 Bag POS 5 I have be use my Tamrac Pro12 bag for several year and it be still in like-new condition . the bag be plenty large enough to hold all my gear with room to spare . the divider allow for a large variety of layout option and have plenty of pocket for accessory . the bag be well padded and make with a tough snag and rip resistant fabric . all the seam appear to well stich too , with box-stiching on all the major stress point . the carry strap be contour , well padded and slip-resistant which make for a much more comfortable day of lug heavy camera body and lens around . every couple month I recommend spray the outside of the bag down with a quality water-repelling spray such as that use for tent and other camping gear . this will do wonder for weatherproof the bag to prevent you delicate equipment from get damp if you be out and get catch in a unexpected rain . +327 Bag POS 4 this bag have most of what I have be look for but nowhere in you advertisement could I find the size . guessing by the picture , it be smaller than I expect . it be well make but do not have room for more than 2 extra roll of film and there be not a place for my passport ! +535 Bag POS 4 I put a set of professional 2-gauge , 20 foot long jumper cable in this little bag , and they fit fine . if those will fit , any other cable will too . the cloth be thick enough to resist snag and tear , and have a small outside pocket for something very tiny -lrb- the pocket be too little for anything big -rrb- . Compact , and fit well in the trunk , yet sturdy enough for the weight of the cable . very good , as long as you be not plan on put too much else in there . a set of rubber glove , wipe , and small flashlight might fit , but nothing big . +603 Bag NEU 3 sander track reasonably well -lrb- not great - yet far better than the old craftsman that be throw out -rrb- , be able to handle rough grits easily -lrb- unlike the AEG I give up on -rrb- . do what I ask it to do -lrb- rough sand -rrb- BUT will clog quickly -lrb- something that seem to be prevalent in other review I have read -rrb- . the primary reason for write this review be to advise that it be easy to clean the clog with a air compressor gun -lrb- not like another reviewer who disassemble he machine to remove the clog with small screwdriver -rrb- . as another reviewer note the dust bag be less than adequate -lrb- I run it directly into the shop-vac - which leave a clean surface and little dust in the air -rrb- . for the price a decent machine that still could use some improvement in the problem area , but not one of Bosch 's best product . +988 Bag POS 4 this bag appear vey sturdy and handy . as a quick carrier for a tool source for do fix up , this carrier will serve very nicely when the household repair and installation be require . as a free gift with another discounted product I purchase the price be right . +287 Bag POS 5 all I can say be these be the best ... they be thick and dependable . I have use they year after year and would not like to do without they . +649 Bag POS 5 this bag be rugged and large enough to easily fit my Hitachi Framing gun without any trouble . there be even room to put some other loose tool on top if you wish\/need to . the strap a tough and the correct size to carry over the shoulder at waist height . I be very glad I get this to help offer some protection to my frame gun -lrb- especially when load it into the truck , you know how everything end up pile on-top of everything else -rrb- . the only thing that could be better would be for frame gun to include hard case when you buy they -lrb- I do not know any maker who do so -rrb- . I highly recommend this product . +599 Bag POS 5 I could not agree more with Jim Thompson on this sander . you can tell that alot of thought go into its design . it be so much more useful than ordinary belt sander . for one thing the balance be perfect . you do not have to torque you wrist to get it to sand level . because of the in line design , you can see both side of the belt when you be sand . of course you have to watch it and keep it move , but it be alot less work with the little Bosch than the other . it be a little slower than the fastest sander . but what you sacrifice in speed , you gain in control and accuracy . I would not buy one to sand floor , but for finish work you can not beat it . it be light enough to use one hand if you have to . it easily become a table top horizontal sander by flip it over on its flat top . -lrb- it be even better with the sand frame -rrb- the dust collection really do work . the front handle come off for tight spot . Belt change be a cinch with the lever action release . the variable speed be a lifesaver with soft wood , detail work where you do not want to take too much off or even rough grind on chisel and plane iron . I have several Belt sander from different manufacturer and this truly be my all time favorite . +265 Bag POS 5 what a great bag . well make with lot of good storage on the inside . I give this as a gift to each of my child and add booster cable , flashlight , extra battery , map , emergency flasher , candle in can and match . what a great way to say , `` I love you and be safe '' . +252 Bag POS 4 I own a small inline belt sander and find the shape give I the opportunity to use the machine in many more way , especially on its side sand the edge of large piece of solid wood . when I have to replace the small sander , I know I want a larger version , and the Bosch fit the bill . Amazon sell it at a lower price than I could find locally , and then there be the tax I save and free delivery ! a week later it be on the door step and it come out of the box and go right to work on some local hardwood . there be lot of power to turn the 3 inch belt . while I have check the belt for run off ceter - it almost never run off . and the graphite patten be flat and stay cool . it have only a few hour on it but I be very happy with it . I have not use the fence , but I will , and I wish I have order the clamp to tie it down to a table upside down . the only problem I have with the sander be the dust control . I have be use the dust bag and it be small , and dust puff out of a small indentation near the dust nipple when lift off or move down on the wood . I have not try to trouble-check the problem . a happy Bosch customer and a happy Ammazon.com customer . +570 Bag POS 5 really nice bag ! I do not know how much I need this thing until I start use it . it pay for itself in make up time look for you razor knife and carpenter pencil and Sawzall blade ... awesome ! I be not very happy that UPS deliver the box with a big hole in the side ... idiot ... but the contents be fine . excellent construction and comfortable carry straps\/handle . Wish Amazon would offer more shipping option ... +139 Bag POS 5 if you have be think about get this bag , but hesitate because of price . get it ! you will not be disappoint . at first I think it might be too small for my need . but the size be just right . I have be able to fit a cordless drill , reciprocate saw , jig see , two battery , charger , hammer , 12x12 box of bit and plenty more . if they have make it any bigger you would probably stick more in it and not be able to carry it around . I would consider it more a `` toolbox bag '' than a `` tool bag '' . it be very firm and stand on its own without any tool in it . to say it be `` heavy duty '' may be a understatement . the quality be top-notch . Tool bag be wimpy . this be definitely not wimpy . Well worth the money , imho . +554 Bag POS 5 this little bag have extend the life of we camcorder in numerous fall off the table , drop , bang around in the trunk , etc. . nicely pad , have lot of storage for the extra such as more tape , charger , etc. . well worth every penny for this camcorder insurance ! +395 Bag POS 5 well constucted , easy to operate , get the job do with little effort and do i mention it be a great buy ... +695 Bag NEU 3 I order this to go with the Garrett Metal Detector I buy my husband . it seem to fit it fine . +580 Bag NEU 3 I buy this for a Kodak DC280 , and it be ok to use . I guess that I realize Ithat I want a larger style bag , though this one work if I just want to bring along the camera and a extra memory card . I be never thrill with it , and then I purchase a new camera -lrb- canon g1 -rrb- that do not fit in this case . that be when I realize how good life could be with a larger bag . if you want a small case to just carry you camera and a few very small accessory -lrb- 4 aa batteri and a memory card or two -rrb- , then this might be the one for you . but it be not the right one for I . +301 Bag NEU 3 this bag do not really catch much of the dust . I guess table saw be just go to make a mess , but this do little to alleviate that . +474 Bag POS 4 love the bag , lot of great feature ! the only thing I would add be a hand strap near the top -lrb- just in case one need to grab it quickly -rrb- . other than that nit , it be wonderful = -rrb- +21 Bag POS 5 I buy this sander sight unseen . I be look for something that be lightweight and could be use for more than just floor . the 1274dv 6.6 amp belt sander be well make , affordable , and best of all rectangular and flat side so that it can clamp or lie on its back as a fix sander . I have have no need to make any adjustment to the belt . the dust exhaust adapter do not fit my ShopVac small hose wand , be a little too small inside diameter , but the hose itself fit over the exhaust port and work extremely well , virtually no dust . I can not speak for commercial application , but for the typical home workshop , you simply can not go wrong . I buy the sander with the case , which I highly recommend . it will hold several belt and a small extension cord . +602 Bag POS 5 I buy this for a apprentice plumber , and it be just right for he with all the great pocket ! arrive fast , it be a great purchase ! +563 Bag POS 5 I be very happy with this product . hold my camera and more , safely . highly recommend it ! +729 Bag POS 5 Works great for we big dog mess ! nice thick bag , double layer on bottom where you pick it up , I keep order these ! +258 Bag POS 5 most of you probably do not need a review for this , but I be go to write one just incase . the bag work great and have be very durable . I will probably buy more and would recommend it to anybody . +172 Bag POS 4 nothing fancy , but durable and reliable . meshing be good to store item . +503 Bag POS 5 I be surprise to see just HOW much you can cram into this bag . the wall be reinforce to make this bag more of a sturdy box , thus keep the contents extremely safe . I have to stop put thing in it because it be get very heavy . all in all a great investment to keep you tool together . +516 Bag POS 5 Belt sander can be dangerous because they remove wood quickly . they need a light touch or you 'll leave a undulating surface , not a flat one . but if you be careful they be a lot easier to use than a hand plane and a lot faster than a orbital sander . I be a hobbyist who get a c in woodworking in junior high , and even that be a gift , because I can not get a flat surface with a hand plane or see a straight line with a hand saw . so power tool be my salvation . I buy the Bosch belt sander to bring the rail and stile of several raise panel drawer front into perfect plane more quickly than could be do with a orbital sander . I read a few magazine review and be interested in the DeWalt 443 , but that model get mediocre review on Amazon . I want a 3 x 21 '' sander because a 4 '' wide sander be heavy and seem like overkill , and I be interested in one that have a lever to make it easy to change the belt , reasonable dust collection , and a accessory frame available to help with keep larger surface like tabletop flat . -lrb- that last criterion eliminate the Makita 9930 . -rrb- the Bosch also come with flat , graphite-impregnated platen , which the magazine review say be better -lrb- flatter -rrb- than the steel platten most sander come with . -lrb- you can buy a graphite replacement platen for other sander . -rrb- the Bosch be a bit under 8 lb and the motor be mount in line with the belt rather than crosswise , so the spacing between handle be greater than for the DeWalt , Makita and other . that be not a problem . the Bosch be comfortable to hold and easy to control , even for a short person like I . the magazine review say that it remove wood a bit less rapidly than other sander in the same class , and that be probably a good thing unless it be be use in commercial production . there be a easy to use tracking adjustment to keep the belt line up and the front handle be removable in case you need to get into a tight space , although you would have to be careful control the sander . the variable speed trigger work well and there be a small dial accessible in the hand grip to limit the speed , as well as a button to make it run continuously . that allow you to mount the sander upside down on a bench and use be as a stationary tool . the Bosch sander feel solidly make . the lever to release the belt be plastic , but it look like it be fiber-reinforced nylon so it seem unlike to break unless it be abused pretty badly . the relatively light weight make the sander easy to control , and the cord be quite long . the manual be clear and helpful . the sander 's dust collection bag work well and you can remove it to connect a vacuum hose for even better dust removal . the accessory sand frame be solid and well design but expensive - 50 % of the cost of the sander -- and you have to figure out that the sander have to be insert onto the two front pin before the you push the back of the sander onto the frame ' clip , because the instruction that come with the frame be unclear . -lrb- you buy the frame separately from the sander . -rrb- two caution . first , try the sander on scrap before you use it on a project - it remove wood much , much faster than a orbital sander and it be easy to leave a trough , even in hardwood . use a light touch and keep move it around to avoid that . second , buy premium quality cloth-backed belt . you can get they at Sears , by mail order and at specialty store . the Bosch come with a good cloth-backed 80 grit belt to get you start . +758 Bag POS 4 I go to a department store to find a camera bag , unfortunately they do not stock Targus . but I do come across the Case Logic dc50 case . I like it . layout and size : it have a great accessory pouch -lrb- with mesh pocket , not sure how durable they be -rrb- . a zip pocket big enough for 2 canon battery and memory card , + another pocket for memory , and room for aa battery -lrb- if applicable -rrb- . there be padding everywhere as far as I could feel , although it be quite thin -lrb- all case I see have as thinner or thinner padding -rrb- . the inner -lrb- camera -rrb- pocket be approximately 15cm -lrb- 6in ? -rrb- high , 8cm -lrb- a bit more than 3in -rrb- wide and 4.5 cm -lrb- less than 2 in -rrb- deep -lrb- these be rough measurement with a ruler -rrb- . for Canon S30 : \* it be a little large for the Canon s30 as you can tell from my rough measurement . however , with the all weather case it might be about right -lrb- do not know yet -rrb- . \* to give you a rough idea ... if the camera be still in bubble wrap then it be almost the right size -lrb- except for height -rrb- . if you find a better case for the s30 , then let I know : - -rrb- otherwise I will happily use the dc50 case : - -rrb- if the height be too big you could always put some extra padding down the bottom of the bag . for example just cut some bubble wrap to size and put it at the bottom of the comparment . +574 Bag POS 5 fine bag . well-made as you would expect . look great . expect to get year of trouble-free use . +230 Bag POS 4 this work well when you do not want to take time to hook vacume up . hold more material than I expect before empt , but still let fine dust through . +913 Bag POS 5 although I do not really have tool to put in this bag , I feel it can serve really well to put a lot of music equipment in like cable , pedal , etc. . I have not get to test it out yet , but I be sure I will use it soon . great bag consider I pay $ 12 for this bag and all other cool tool . +843 Bag POS 4 lot of room and separate compartment for extra battery and memory card . make a handy handbag too . shame it be not leather but it be a pretty good imitation . +519 Bag POS 5 THIS CAMERA BAG be a great bag for the money , PLENTY of ZIPPERED SIDE pocket , just a OVERALL great piece of workmenship a + + + + + + +13 Bag POS 4 it be perfect for my Sony comcorder , plus two or four tape , extra batery , and even ac adapter . only annoying thing be that it make this weird `` gi , gi , gi , gi . '' sound -lrb- plastic glide -rrb- when carry it around . the strap be decent , not extremely comfortable , many improvment can be make . it be just the right size , and I think it be a good buy . +750 Bag POS 5 I have have this saw for a while and use my shop vac hook to the dust port which work great . I do at time have the vac in another location and the dust collector bag be a great option . I like the way be be tubular and the dust collect at the bottom and be easy to remove and dump . Dave +319 Bag POS 4 I have a Panasonic dv-51 -lrb- cool camcorder for beginner -rrb- and this bag be just the right thing for it . it have 2 front zip pocket which can hold the cable and adapter\/charger . you will have to squeeze in the tape and extra battery with the camcorder . you can resize compartment inside the bag . this help to make space for battery , tape etc. . you wont be able to use this bag for Sony Digital8 camcorder as they be pretty big and will be the only thing which you can fit in the available space . I would advise against use this bag for any camcorder heavier\/bigger than the Panasonic pv-dv51 . +88 Bag NEU 3 a decent light-duty sander for the price , it have some problem but also some nice feature . I like that the sander hit the right mark on weight . I do not have to press on it at all , nor should one press on a belt sander anyway . I like that it have a 6-foot long power cord . that be about 3 foot longer than on most power tool these day . I like that I can turn the sander upside-down , a very nice feature . Belt change be simple as be adjust the belt tracking . there be attachment which can be purchase to enhance the upside-down experience . they be ridiculously expensive . a crafty person can improvise this with various shop equipment -lrb- think clamp -rrb- , thanks to the sander 's flat top . why do I need to use a tool to remove the front handle ? the graphite pad , supposedly a feature , self-destruct quickly . seriously , that pad need replacement after every hour of sand . it be the worst aspect of this sander . if you buy this sander , get some pad because you will need they . if you only run the machine for a few minute at a time , and the pad have a few more minute to cool between use , you might get better result . the wobbly variable speed dial feel cheap . I be not sure it will last long enough to go out of warranty . it take some head-scratching and read to understand how that dial work . it be not very well marked and it be confuse to find which mark the hard-to-read number be suppose to be set against . as it turn out in use , the number mean little since the sander 's speed only vary within the just-short-of-fast to way-too-fast range . I use the sander with my Shop-Vac attach so I can not speak for the bag attachment . I be assume it be a upgrade version since it be nothing like the bag show in the product photo . with my Shop-Vac , it seem all the dust be suck up so I do like that . I do notice that the instruction address a different type of dust bag and fitting than be provide with the sander . not a big deal , but it make one wonder why Bosch can not be bother to update they literature . I like the sander . it will work for I as a light duty machine . just keep you eye on that pad . +950 Bag POS 5 this product be of very impressive quality and the price be certainly right . its designer obviously put a lot of time and think into the final product . I have no idea that I could put it to so many productive use . this be a winner ! +236 Bag POS 5 the Bosch belt sander be the best money I have spend in a long time . it run smoothly , but powerfully . the control be easy to use and the belt track true . it remove material much better than the other sander that I have . I recommend it very highly . +902 Bag POS 4 this be a great camera bag for the Canon PowerShot series of camera . I have the PowerShot a610 and it fit perfectly . the bag have a soft cushion lining to protect the camera and especially the lcd viewfinder . there be plenty of padding to protect the camera in case the bag be drop . the front-most compartment do indeed hold 4 aa battery nicely -lrb- dispite what other reviewer say -rrb- . there be even a middle pocket for a extra sd memory card -lrb- this pocket be big enough to hold the sd card it it be own plastic case -rrb- . the shoulder strap be nice and long and fully adjustable to make it long enough to drape across the body , or short enough to carry it on you shoulder with the bag tuck under you armpit . the belt loop be the best I have see on a camera case with a sturdy double velcro closure . I be a big fan of the Codura nylon that this bag be make of due to its durability and water repellency , but this bag even have a pullout water proof cover to protect the bag even more in wet weather . I guess the only thing prevent I from give this item 5 star be the front most pocket that hold the battery . when the bag be close , the battery be secure and snug , but when the bag be open , the battery sometimes fall out . this be not really a big deal , but it be worth mention . a easy fix be to simply tape up the battery with Scotch tape before put they in the bag , that way they stay together . I be originally go to buy the case make make by Canon specifically for this camera , but after read review on the Lowepro case I get it instead and I be glad I do . the Canon case be good and sturdy , but there be no room for battery and there be no padding to protect the camera be the case be drop . +919 Bag NEU 3 I have the Skil version of this sander -lrb- make by Bosch -rrb- . it work great for a few year . dust collection bag out of the way . fit in tight place . but then the plastic lever to change the belt become weak and eventually flap around . finally I could not change the belt . so I take it apart and tighten it . then it get loose again . so I send it to Bosch service for repair . ask Bosch to put on a new lever , straighten the tracking , and put new bearing in it while it be there . cost over $ 50 to repair . when it come back the lever work again but still flop around . it track lousy , and the bearing be not change . -- no better than my own tightening . so I toss the sander on the junk pile and buy a Porter Cable . Porter Cable dust bag be in the way all the time , so I do miss this sander sometimes . I like the fact it work on a table flip over . maybe the belt change lever be better now ?? +58 Bag POS 5 I work for year use a inexpensive belt sander with no dust collection system to speak of , at the time none have these . I want something a bit larger and test several newer model out . I find myself with a ryobus in similar design as the bosch . it be fine and I truely enjoy the balance . then I have a issue with the speed control get hot and soon it quit and off the find another brand . this time it be makita and a rather large 3 x 24 inch belt with one speed . yes it be powerful and heavy , most of the time I feel I would surely destroy anything and everything it come in contact with , one moment hesistation or lack of concentration and you find yourself with a deep grove because it tip . unbalanced side set motor , some people like these , I do not . I be all for learn to control and use a tool but I do not stand for a tool with a build in project distruct mechanism . Porter cable have a old time still in production inline giant that work very well , my father have one , just do not plug it in when on it be foot trigger lock on , face a double pane glass picture window . there be no stop it and yes it do perform a nice mid air drive very slightly slow by the force penetration of shattered glass . I leave this Makita sander for the job that need alot of fast stock removal , perhape if I be refinish a ship deck this would be the tool of choice . I be inform by the tool dealer in town this be the best sander around and it have be around for a good long time . I want a belt sander to smooth edge and a small to large surface with confidence that be all , nothing that want to drag I across the work suface at the flip of a switch . this be where the bosch come in , light and balanced , quiet and smooth , you be now in control not the tool . yes as someone else say the dust bag be not the one picture on the box , out of curiousity I phone bosch and it be politily express they have issue with static electical discharge that some people use the sander do not understand , some people must have forget simple science concept and think they be be electrically shock with a high voltage . never the less the bosch do send I one of the original bag along with it be fitting and I must say the new square bag be better . you can empty it very simply by put a shop vac nozzle to the plastic bag port and suck the contents out and even if you want to do the job right shake the bag and all come clean . no need to play with the plastic closure clip . this sander do what it be design for very very well indeed . light continue work with easily control stock removable for the finish of a fine wood project that possess flat side , not for what some find it for , clear away year of warp and splinter on some rough fashion sun deck that can comfortably seat 120 guest . for this type of industrial endevor get the big one , that be what they function be in life . if you be look for a belt sander for fine furnature work or do other work require precision and control and have always stay clear do to the fear of belt sander then the bosch be without question the one , for you ! in closing , this belt sander do last and hold up very well , I have have not one single problem with mine , it have do alot of time save work with I . +748 Bag POS 5 I have have this for several year now . I like everything about it . especially the ability to clamp it in the vise and use it hand free as a bench sander . the belt be always center and change out easily ; something that be a problem with my earlier sander -lrb- i do not remember the brand -rrb- . I use this on wood only , so i can not speak for other material . +341 Bag POS 5 this sander be top shelf stuff . it balance in you hand and hum along while maintain the belt tracking setting without walk . you can tell there be quality build in if you have ever use a cheaper homeowner 's tool . I have a craftsman for 35 year that serve I well but go out in a blaze of glory and I need to replace it pronto . I dig deep and get the Makita and I will be happy to write another fine review in about 35 year or so . it be sometimes difficult to down a product when you spend a lot of $ $ $ on it but this one be really worth the extra freight . +440 Bag POS 5 hold my Canon Digital rebel xt plus lens . Organized well , plenty of room , well design and sturdy . +683 Bag POS 5 I normally do not like buy stuff just to hold other stuff . Esp . something as boring as jumper cable . but my jumper cable keep break or crawl out of whatever box I put they in like they have a life of they own . they be stiff , you can not fold they . so I break down and get this and be really glad . the cable stay coil up and zip into this thing and will not get out . the fabric be very tough , I think it should last at least a decade . it can slide around without tear , you can throw it to the end of the trunk and it 'll be fine . very worth the price not to be bother any more by cable ! +12 Bag POS 4 a very nice little bag . hold my sharp Viewcam , extra tape , and cord . very compact and lot of cushiony foam . reccommend for small to mid-size camera or camcorder and all you little accessory . great price ! +980 Bag POS 5 great bag , exactly what I be look for . I like it enough to purchase two . +732 Bag NEU 3 I really purchase this Bucket Boss GateMouth Jr. for a friend who actually carry he tool around in a canvas shopping bag . yes , he do . but I see this GateMouth Jr almost every day so I feel confident to comment on it . First of all , it have allow say friend to organize he tool and actually know where he tool be when he need they . this because of the various pouch . the bag seem well make and stand up to normal abuse on a small job . I think the larger GateMouth would have be a better choice because more than one cordless tool can crowd thing too much in this Jr version . also , we both agree that a open mouth bag , or tote , would have be more convenient because of it be capacity . this GateMouth Jr have strong seam , help you organize you tool as long as you be not carry anything too large and it do not seem that any sharp object be go to poke through it - time will tell on that . it be a little small , but if that be all you require then this be a nice little item for transport you tool . ___________________ it be a couple of month since the above post . I just want to mention that the bag itself be hold up well in it be construction , but it be develop a sag in the bottom . this be probably because a 18 volt cordless drill be often carry in the bag . my friend cut a piece of 1\/8 '' stock to fit on the bottom of the bag and this help . he round the corner of the insert and this should prevent any rip . Time will tell . still valid comment above , but we both wish the bag have come with a rigid bottom . the description do not mention this , so I guess we should have know . the sag present the problem you would imagine . the insert help . just to pass this bit of information along . I be use a workforce tote which I much prefer . +864 Bag POS 4 I have own this bag for over 3 year . it be way overloaded -lrb- so much that I do not even worry about zip it up -rrb- , and have hold up very well . only two small problem -lrb- due to my overloading -rrb- : the clip that hold the stap to the ring on the bag break , and the metal bar that hold the shape of the main opening have come out of the end seam . this bag do hold a lot of `` stuff . '' it have hold up very well despite my abuse and overload -lrb- it weigh about 80 lb with all my stuff . -rrb- well worth the buy ! +569 Bag POS 5 this Sander be a monster ... you need to get this sander ... forget the rest !!!!!! very quiet and smooth handling , get the job do . +873 Bag NEG 2 this bag be of very good quality but although it might be consider the standard size , the die hard cable which I buy at Sears will not fit so I end up return the bag . I compare my cable with another brand my wife have and the die hard be almost twice as long and not as flexible due to the high quality so they be harder to coil . I agree with other reviewer in that you really could not fit much on the side pocket . +769 Bag POS 5 all I have to say be this bag be big ... really big . think big then think bigger . I actually have not even load my gear into it because it be just that big . I put in a Canon flash , 50d , 24-135 , 50mm , xsus , 18-55mm and seriously be not even enough to fill up half of this bag ... let alone the many pocket . +498 Bag NEG 2 this dust collection bag capture a good portion of the sawdust , but create too much resistance to airflow , cause sawdust to blow back in you face . I have to take it off . disappointing . +453 Bag POS 5 this be a good case , I have a HP 318 digital camera and it fix well , it be a little big , but it let I carry batt , cradle and memory card in . and it be good for protect my camera too . it look very good and have a gadget to carry in my belt . +768 Bag POS 5 I purchase this as a gift and the receiver be extremely pleased . I have look at the tool store for a tote to help he with a professional look for home inspection work , and this hold he flashlight , tape measure , outlet checker , etc. , very tidily . the other one I see be too heavy and poorly make . this tote be light yet very sturdy and have great workmanship . since he never discard anything , however ratty , it be good to get quality and such a good price . +938 Bag POS 5 this be a excellent tool that fit comfortably in you hand . it remove material efficiently and be easy to control . the belt tracking system work better than any other I have use . since it be light weight -lrb- for a belt sander -rrb- , it will not wear you out like most other unit . the inline design allow you to easily get into tight space and unlike many sander , the dust collection system really work . it be make in Switzerland and the result quality be obvious . +753 Bag POS 5 this product be great for organize and protect my beading material . most of my tool have they own pocket so that they be easy to find and they do not damage each other . the wiring , silk and other material easily fit inside the bag so that all be in one place , easy to find and safe . +310 Bag NEG 1 I buy this item over a month ago and it still have not ship ! who know what kind of rating to give the bag , but for customer service this group get a `` f '' +508 Bag POS 5 I like this belt sander because it have good power output , and be very trim for sand item in place . also it be build to sand very close to the nose as you can remove the front grip . this sander be also easy to hold onto in awkward position , and be very streamlined . I have own more than one of this same model , and I would buy another for theese same reason . I have also find they to be very durable . +323 Bag NEG 1 this bagger be worthless uless you want a lot of dust and debree in you workshop -lrb- and lung -rrb- -- it collect almost nothing . hook a ShopVac to the exhaust of you table saw . +29 Bag POS 4 this bag be a great value . it be perfect for tight area in all car or truck . Works well and be compact . +992 Bag NEG 2 I pick up this bag when I purchase the Bosch 4000 table saw . I be hope to avoid use a vaccuum attachment on the job site . I quickly find that if I be serious about contain saw dust , I have to ditch this collection bag . it collect maybe half the dust , if that . if you have the power to run both the saw and a vaccuum attachment , do it , and leave the bag for when you can work outside or you can unplug the saw and vaccuum up the mess . +73 Bag POS 5 just the right size for carry household tool from closet to where they be need . I like that it zip up and have pocket on the inside and outside . it even have a padded shoulder strap . Update 11\/2008 : I agree that thing do tend to fall out of the interior pocket . divider would make this more useful for organize small item . still give this 5 star for durability . for small tool , I now use a couple large shallow box -lrb- picture frame come in they -rrb- . keep stack in a drawer , I can more quickly see the tool I need or take the whole box to a project site . +720 Bag POS 5 the Samsonite worldproof 3.02 bag be a excellent camera bag . I have a major problem with it that require I to return and `` upsize '' . another reviewer say he Nikon d70 fit fine on it be side and that cinch it for I . well , when I slide my d70 kit -lrb- 18-70 lens -rrb- in on it be side , it be just too tight to suit my need . in my experience , force thing be not wise so I 'll happily return this and hope this review help another in they decision . +217 Bag POS 5 this be the highest quality camera bag you will find . it be make in the usa of tough nylon construction . plenty of storage for two or more slr camera and all they accessory . strong zipper and lock clip . if you be look at Tamrac bag you probably already know they reputation for outstanding bag . highly recommend . +263 Bag POS 5 most of my co worker envy I for own one of these , handy , easy access to tool , open top brilliant +598 Bag POS 5 the picture show a sawzall in the bag . that get a bit heavy for I but I really like these bag a lot . +324 Bag POS 5 the bag hold up as well or better than the cable do ! we continue to buy this product as we get new service van and store jumper cable in each one . this be the perfect way to store jumper cable . and it hold up very well . we have not have to replace one yet . we have only buy more to store more set of jumper cable as we like to have a set in every van . we have this wild idea that if we have they , we will not need they . but actually we use they more to help other than to help ourselves . and that be better than any yellow page ad for build goodwill in a community . Amazon be now the only place we buy this product and some store stop carry the product . but we keep buy they . +131 Bag POS 5 this be a excellent bag when you want to carry around you small digital camcorder . I have a elura2 MC and I be able to carry the camcorder , a wideangle lens , a spare 2 hr battery , and extra multimedia card . base on my experience it should be able to carry some of the smallest Sony 's and JVC camcorder too . excellent quality and the weatherproof cover be a bonus . +540 Bag POS 5 I find a couple of bad review of this product but can only assume the reviewer be compare it to a full dust extraction system because for a simple fabric bag this work perfectly . Catches 80-90 % of the sawdust -lrb- which from a Bosch saw be considerable -rrb- , just a small amount below the saw . without it you 'll be sweep for age - or worse you wife will leave you ! Money well spend , simple , effective , not a vacuum system - but a fraction of the cost . +0 Bag POS 4 this be a pretty decent product . more room than I expect , but the shoulder strap really need to go . there be absolutely nothing special about it . it could use some sort of padding on it too . the bag fit my Canon EOS ix Lite 2 lens , a flash , the owner 's manual , 5 roll of film , and I have still get room . +692 Bag POS 5 this bag be big enough to carry a few digital camera or a camcorder af large size and plenty of padding and storage . love it !! +942 Bag NEU 3 I have own a number of bucketboss product and I generally like they . this item be just on the ok side . it be make of the same material as other Gatemouth bag so it be pretty tough , but it be functionality be low for I . it do not have enough pocket and the one it have be not all that big . even the main compartment seem small , I can not fit my drill in there , much less charger and battery . this bag do not come with a strap or even hook to fit a strap on it . grant , I should have study the picture closer which do not show any of these . this be not the bag for carry around too long . if you need a bag to put small tool in for home repair , this be the one for you . for anything else , upgrade . +412 Bag POS 5 this product will help keep the sawwdust in it be place under the saw , it do its job quite well . I do recomend it for the price . +315 Bag NEG 1 I purchase this bag in hope that end of day clean-up would be make simpler . despite cut only kiln-dried interior trim stock the sawdust begin back up in the saw 's discharge chute long before the bag be even half full . I guess only a dust collection system will help I . +360 Bag POS 4 this tote make lug around a etx90 spot scope much easier . there be one internal compartment and a zippered internal pocket . there be enough room for the etx90 and a few accessory . just don ' r forget to bring you tripod ... +146 Bag POS 5 it seem that every class of tool have one brand or model that really work just right . other try to upstage it with different gimmick , but the obvious best choice keep come through . you see it on jobsite after jobsite . p\/c router , Skil wormdrive , senco finish nailer , Bosch jigsaw ... in the 3x21 sander category there be no better tool . simple , balanced , sturdy and inexpensive for the long-haul . Square shape and small body mean that one-handed operation -lrb- large hand -rrb- be practical , allow for use in way to which other model do not adapt well . this be my second one in -lrb- I do not remember , 15 ? -rrb- year , but a long time anyway . someone decide they need my first one more than I do and help themselves ; it 'll probably last they forever if they be smart enough to keep it . so I get the latest iteration which be just still the best . I think I pay about the same the first time too . +624 Bag POS 5 Great case for my Bostitch stick nail framer . have a inside pocket for a oil bottle too . double zipper be heavy duty , the bottom of the case be hard and protect the tool from drop . it be tough on the job site and pack away well in my truck . if you serious about have and keep great tool , you will want this bag . +273 Bag POS 4 I buy this for my ... + digital camera and it be do a great job of keep it safe . it do not really have any foam inside that I can see but there be something about it that make it `` thick '' and strong enough to deflect most blow so you camera remain in perfect condition . I also use the many zippered area to store thing such as battery and extra memory card . the only negative comment I have to make be that I still consider it to be big . I like the idea of slip my camera in my pocket but this case would never fit . you would have to attach it to you belt or , like I , carry it around in you hand . that be why I only give this 4 out of 5 star . +596 Bag NEU 3 I have two canon body with vertical grip , 2 flash , and three lens with another one on the way . they do not all fit . I have the 580 ex ii , 480 ex , 70 - 200 mm , 50 mm , and 17 - 40 mm -lrb- all l lens -rrb- for canon . I do not have enough space for the second flash or the 50 mm . I have to keep one camera body portable -lrb- which be fine for out on assignment , but not when in storage -rrb- . +505 Bag NEG 2 about 70 percent of the sawdust make it into a empty bag with the amount become less as the bag fill . when the bag be over 50 % full , most of the saw dust go in the air , on the floor , etc. . I have since stop use the bag because my shop vac hose fit the sawdust port . +71 Bag NEG 2 I take a lot of photography trip on weekend . one thing I like to do be to leave my 70-200mm or 100-400mm lens attach to the camera , on top of the photo bag in the passenger seat of the truck while I drive in rural area . if I see something of interest , I stop the truck grab the camera , get out and take some image . that be what attract I to this product . the issue with this bag be that if you have a lens with a lens hood , the lens will not fit in the compartment of the bag , and still be functional as be advertise -lrb- and as I describe above -rrb- . I have a 24-70 with lens hood , a 16-35 with lens hood , a 70-200 with lens hood , a 100-400 with lens hood , a 100mm macro with lens hood , etc. . these lens do not fit in the bag , with the hood invert , if you want to carry you camera across the top as picture . I try to make it work , and end up return the bag . +805 Bag POS 5 plenty of power , easy to use , sand a 400 sq foot deck easily . blue mikita sandpaper be best too . +857 Bag POS 5 this bag do just what I need - clean up my trunk . I have cable , fix-a-flat , screwdriver and everything else roll around in my car and stash where I could fit they -lrb- but still could not be find when need -rrb- . now everything fit in this bag and look great . I be go to get one for my other car . highly recommend . +39 Bag POS 4 Sands as expect : fast and easy to control . dust collection work ok . need to blow the system out with compress air to clear a blockage , once in 2 hour of sand . I order the Bosch sa1051 sand frame to go along with this purchase . unfortunately the seller of the frame , MaxTool , not only do not have item in stock -lrb- even though they clearly specify they do have -rrb- they be not able to get one within a two week period after my order . I cancel this order . +808 Bag POS 5 I be look for a bag for casual purpose , like hike . this be a bag of good compromise . too small , you can not hold more than a couple of spare lens . too big , it start to look weird and bulky . yet it be roomy enough to allow creativity . I have look around and for its size , 5608 hold the most stuff . without hood , I can fit the follow all in the main compartment : - 40d with f2 .8 17-55mm attach - 10-22mm - 100mm macro - tamron 70-300mm - tamron 1.4 x tele convertor - 430ex - macro flash -lrb- big -rrb- - dust blower - a disposable water bottle -lrb- for hike -rrb- . the bottle can be replace with 70-200 f4 , I suspect . sure it be pack , but everything be still well padded . I do not have a 2nd body , but you can replace a lens with a 2nd body , no attach lens . I would not recommend get this as you only bag if you have 2 body , since 2 lens have to be put under the body and that make change lens inconvenient . I put the least used macro lens underneath the body and on the other side , I put 2 lens upright instead of top\/bottom . +77 Bag NEG 2 not worth the price you ask ? it be only $ 11.00 . true . do not waste you $ 11.00 . instead plug a shop vac into the exhaust port of the table saw . the small exhaust port get jam easily and if that happen , forget collect any dust in the bag . if the exhaust port stay clear , then I would say I collect about 10 % of the dust produce . especially with mdf . what a mess !! I build a moble stand for the saw and folding stand so I push the whole thing out into the drive way and use it out there because of the mess it make inside the garage . the saw be great and I be very happy with it . I give it 4 or 5 five star in my review of the saw itself . but this collection bag be pointless . save you money and spend it elsewhere . until I get my dust collector for all my tool , I use this bag on my DeWalt 2-speed planer where it work great . I empty it frequently , but that be a planer for you . +5 Bag NEG 2 I have recently purchase numerous Bosch tool from Amazon\/Tool Crib and I have be a life-long Bosch fan . however , I have to say that this be the very first time I have be let down by one of they product . I guess I just get a rare `` lemon '' . immediately on use it , I have problem with the `` lock-on button '' . either it would not keep the machine running , or when it do engage I could then not stop it ! it work sporadically , but usually not until I have try to disengage or engage it several time . then , after just 15 minute use sand some deck timber , a loud clatter develop . sound like a bearing problem ? this do not seem to unduly affect performance , and since I purchase the unit for this specific job , I carry on for a while . then , the rear belt wheel start to slip or disengage , like a slip clutch . the work I be do be not unduly difficult and for a period of time , the work be go like a dream , much as I be use to with Bosch tool . so finally , I just give up-extremely disappoint that I could not finish the job at hand . I have return it and I will get the 1276dv instead . +475 Bag POS 5 the 5608 pro 8 Camera Bag be a excellent product and I be very pleased with it . the shipping time seem to I to be slow . Ed Heuer +45 Bag POS 5 I be completely excite to see this bag for sale on -lrb- ... -rrb- . I buy this same bag 8 year ago when I be commute to a cabinet shop for work . I be able to fit all of my hand tool into this seemingly little bag . it be amazing how much stuff I have be able to stuff into it ! I have be use it for a solid 8-year now with no let up in use . it have travel around the country with I tote my tool . I always over stuff it and it never complain . most of the time , it be gaping open for easy access . but if I need to close it , the heavy zipper always work . this thing be bomb proof . well , not quite , but after what I have put it through , I would rate it the best darn bag I have ever see or use . it be only problem for the manufacturer be that it be too well make . after 8 year , I do not need another one . I might just buy one now so I have a second on hand . buy this bag , you 'll love it . +629 Bag POS 4 this bag be great , but make sure you do not have more accessory than can fit in ! usually , a average digital camera -lrb- Olympus C-3000 size -rrb- and extra memory card , plus another accesory or two will fit . Don ; t leave home without it ! +128 Bag POS 5 I absolutely love my lowepro d-re 50 all Weather bag ! I use it on every camping and hike trip I take , include a week-long trip to Colorado 's Rocky Mountain National Park . the all weather cover be a must for outdoors enthusiast , do a superb job of keep drizzle , rain or sleet off you delicate camera equipment . the cover dry quickly after use , and stuff back into the bag ready for the next use . the d-re 50 be larger than its cousin , the d-re 30 , and this be a key issue for I because I also take my Casio Cassiopeia e-115 on hiking and camping trip to take trail and birding note , record bird song for later identification , etc. . I have find that the d-re 50 comfortably hold both my Kodak dc-265 digital camera , 4-8 spare aa battery , Kodak lens adapter & one lens , spare CompactFlash card and my Casio Cassiopeia in its Rhinoskin case without cramp anything and still allow I to zip the d-re bag close . I have do this for a year now with no sign of strain to the d-re 50 and no damage whatsoever to the delicate equipment I carry inside it . the d-re have a belt loop for carry it on you waist , a handle for casual carrying , and a adjustable shoulder strap . I can comfortably carry the d-re 50 on my shoulder while wear a loaded pack , simply by adjust the d-res shoulder strap and place it under my pack strap to prevent slide . that way my digital camera and pda be always within easy reach without remove my pack and fumble around for the proper gear . i highly recommend this bag , and the entire Lowepro all weather line of bag , to anyone who enjoy the outdoors and want to take they delicate gear with they to capture memory . +134 Bag POS 5 we buy several of these bag and fill they with booster cable , various tool , glove , lead flashlight , map , etc. and give they as gift . everyone love they . we have receive many compliment on this idea as a gift . the bag be very well make and the storage compartment for tool and additional item be perfect . the design be well think out and the quality be impressive . thank you to the designer . +538 Bag POS 5 love this bag . sturdy and much bigger than i think it would be . lot of way to configure interior padding . I have one body and two lens , two strobe and battery charge etc. . all fit great . lot of place to put all the little thing . build quality feel good and should last on the road . thanks +821 Bag NEU 3 I love this camera for ease of use , and crisp , clear picture . my biggest problem though be red eye . I use the red eye reduction most of the time and eye be always red . maybe someone have a suggestion to fix this problem ? +339 Bag POS 5 I now have two Bucket Boss , Jr. bag and I find they to be the perfect size and rugged . the bigger these satchel be , the more I try to stuff into they , which end up with too heavy a bag and too much stuff dump in it . I like have smaller , label carryall so I can stay organize , even when I be work quickly . +757 Bag POS 5 these bag be a very nice weight and also very large which reduce the ` gross out ' factor of pick up after the dog . +364 Bag POS 4 this be the second one of these handy bag that I have purchase . my son snag my first one and it be still go strong after eight or more relatively hard year skid back and forth across the bed of a pick-up -lrb- why he do not tie it down I will never understand !! -rrb- . I do notice that the material have change since my last purchase but this latest stuff be refer to as `` rip stop '' and it seem tough enough . my first bag have a few scuff mark but no rip what so ever . this be a very practical sort of thing to own in that everyone need a emergency kit in they vehicle . if you do not want various and sundry thing adrift and roll around in you trunk or underneath a seat in you car , this bag be for you . there be enough room in the bag for I to have in addition to 14 ' eight gauge jumper , a 25 ' tow strap 2 '' wide with two hook plus a handful of chemlite . there be a small pocket on the front of the bag that you can most probably find a use for . add a decent first aid kit and you 'll be better able to handle `` problem '' that may come you way . `` be prepare , '' winter be almost upon we . +539 Bag POS 5 this camera bag be exactly what I need . the design be not bulky , but slim , make the bag comfortable to tote on long walk . I use it as a accessory bag as oppose to a camera bag . but this bag be well constucted , lightweight and look good . it can serve as either a bag for a large camera and some accessory or the accessory themselves , such as conversion lens . +833 Bag NEG 1 the top load Case Logic dc70 be SUPER !! the one selling at ... , be a front loading case . not good for large camera . company make 2 model use the same item number of dc70 . Worth look for the one that the camera go in from the top of the case . +482 Bag POS 4 this bag be just what I need . it have room for my charge and usb cable , my cleaning kit , camera with neck strap , and a extra lens . you could fit two lens in the bag if they be relatively small . the bag be insulate well enough for I to feel confident and not worry about it while travel . +935 Bag POS 5 I just purchase one of these bag for myself , and like it so much that I order another as a high school graduation gift for the girl next door who be take she car to college next year . I have she initial embroider on the outside , and fill the bag with jumper cable , fix-a-flat , hand-crank flashlight , etc. . it might not seem like a very exciting graduation gift , but she like it and will like it even more if she ever have car trouble . +726 Bag NEG 2 I buy this bag to use for my school tool . I have to carry it long distance . the shoulder strap be place completely wrong . it attach right under the handle , not on the side of the bag . this create too much downward pull on the center of bag and a uneven distribution of weight over the strap . because the bag be triangular when it be close , and the strap be attach at the very top , it also make it cumbersome to carry -- because the wide base of the bag be press against you body , but the strap be not anchor there also . also , the padded element on the strap be not movable or removable . I find -lrb- as a lady -rrb- , the padding be annoying and too big for my shoulder . I be very dissapointed , as otherwise , it be a great bag . since I be a student in accessory design , I be go to add my own d-rings\/strap tether on the side of the bag , and hope that they hold . I be editing to add : I order this bag in late January and it arrive in 3 day with Amazon prime -lrb- should have be 2 day , but I do not experience the long wait other be have -rrb- . +983 Bag NEU 3 I do its job , keep the dust off the machine . it be a little tight for the machine . you have to collapse the detector in order to squeeze it into this bag . there be a couple pocket to put you ear bud in . I purchase a additional utility bag to keep spare battery , glove , belt , recovery pouch , pointer , bug spray etc. to grab when use the machine . I only use this for winter storage . +94 Bag POS 5 the ergonomics of this bag fit everyone 's need the pouch hold everything video . this be great ! +170 Bag NEU 3 I have use a Gatemouth Jr. at home for about 8 year as a `` around the house '' tool tote . just order another to use at work and be surprised -lrb- disappointed -rrb- at how much lighter the new bag be make . the side be a rip stop material where the older bag be a canvas type material . I think I 'll leave the new bag at home and take the older one to work . I have no doubt the old one will last longer in my work environment . +232 Bag POS 5 it fit my Panasonic Camcorder , it have lot of pocket , it have a shoulder-strap -lrb- which be inside the bag when it be ship -rrb- , and it have 2 section of padding go across the the main compartment -lrb- which be velcro so you can take they off and use they for extra padding -rrb- . the border between the outside pocket and the main compartment be flexible incase you have a large camcorder -lrb- only when the outer pocket be empty , though . -rrb- best of all , it have a life-time warrenty ! the only problem with it be that the indentity tag where you can put you adress , etc -lrb- show in picture hanging from handle -rrb- fall off and be lose because the leather get worn and rip after only 8 month . anyhow , overall I would recommend buy it this bag . +234 Bag POS 5 after own a black and Decker sander , the MAKITA sander be a welcome relief . it sand quickly and evenly throughout any project . I can also clamp it in a vise for stationary work and the extra long cord be handy for larger project . the belt stay track once its set . this a a great sander ! +520 Bag POS 5 the Tamrac System 3 -lrb- and other `` System '' -rrb- bag be very well craft camera bag . the bag have several very attractive feature . -- handle and strap be strong and very comfortable . -- access to bag be easy , zipper very smooth , clip easy to manage . -- Main body of bag can be reconfigure with velcro separator . -- surprisingly high capacity -lrb- I carry a slr body with standard lens , a 75-300 zoom , spare short focal length lens , hot shoe full flash and digital 6x zoom camera all in central pocket -rrb- -- several additional useful separator , film holder , documentation , place for lens cleaner , paper or cloth -rrb- -- durable outer shell that can take some abuse all of this be contain in what appear from the outside to be a very small bag that easily store for travel . perhaps most importantly the separator , outer shell , and body construction real do appear to protect you equipment -lrb- yes I be ashamed to admit that I have have my fully load bag drop off of table and down step -rrb- . do not buy more bag than you need . if you have get a reasonable amount of gear this bag probably can handle it . +191 Bag POS 4 ... make sure that you do not purchase this with the Sony vx2000 camcorder . although Amazon list this video bag as a accessory for the 2000 , it just do not fit comfortably . you have to really jam the eyepiece into the bag , and because it be pack in so tight , it just do not feel protected . the bag be rugged , and handsome . most consumer mini-dv camcorder should fit in the bag . probably not the Canon gl1 and definitely not the xl-1 . other than that , go for it . as a general rule , pick a camera bag be the kind of thing you should do in a store ... bring you camera or camcorder with you and try it in different bag . it be hard to guage the size and fit of a bag simply from its picture and dimension . plus , at camera store you can often find nice padded bag that do not \* look \* like camera bag . this be a plus if you travel a lot and be a weakling -lrb- and prone to mugging -rrb- , like I be . seriously . +358 Bag POS 5 I be go to purchase a Bosch that be similar to the Makita . the review be less than favorable for the Bosch . I have use the Makita in my handyman business . the long cord that come standard be so convenient , it be about 20 ' long . I do not have to look for a extension cord every time I want to use it . it have plenty of power , the dust collection bag be good , it will hook up to my collection system I have in my shop with no modification . Belt change be a breeze . this be one fine tool that be ready to work from the moment you remove it from its packaging . I be sure happy with it and would buy another one if the need arise . +26 Bag POS 4 I be not a biker but buy the bag anyways , because I need a cool , handy bag to carry my PowerBook , PDA and load of other stash . i find it very cool indeed and pleased that my PowerBook fit snugly inside . -lrb- at time I wonder if it be design for the PowerBook -rrb- my only qualm be that the awkard top bit of the flap fold up when u carry it . I be sure that there could be a workaround . other than that , I love the bag . it be brilliant and it be get Amazon.com on it ! yippeeee ! +85 Bag POS 5 when I first receive this case , the sheer size of the packaging throw I off - feel like it be another piece of check-in luggage ! however , have use it for a few week for my slr -lrb- Nikon D-80 -rrb- , the case actually do a perfect job of protect the camera , lens , and other accessory . any smaller and I think it would have be non-functional for my camera . the availability of pocket pretty much all over help store accessory . overall I really like this case and I know my camera and lens be secure in it . +281 Bag POS 5 we have several of the Bucket Boss bag and they be all very handy ! this one hold just the jumper cable and glove in one of we daily driver . it be a little skinnier than the Bucket Boss Cable and Tool Bag , which we also have and love . if you be just store jumper cable and a few small item , this one be great . if you want to store a tow strap and\/or jumper cable , flashlight , glove , small tool , reflectors\/flares , etc. then I would recommend the Cable and Tool bag . that one have room for more stuff -lrb- the photo for that one be more helpful -rrb- . both bag have they purpose ; they be sturdy for slide around in vehicle and discrete if you have a open back area . note : bag do NOT come with cable ! sure you can go the cheap route and get that bag and cable combo at walmart , but you get what you pay for ... cheap-cheap-cheap cable and cheapo bag . good luck with that . +23 Bag POS 5 I have be a hobby woodworker for nearly 30 year and I admit I may not be a expert in belt sander - for year I have suffer with smaller , cheaper model . when face with a very large , rough cut wood slab to finish , I make the investment . spend a lot of time look at model , review , etc and make the choice . it have prove wonderful in every way . this be a heavy , solid machine with plenty of power - use a 40 grit belt , it be still nearly impossible to slow down and in fact , little pressure be require . my arm feel it just try to keep it from run away . the dust collection be superb . it even seem to suck in dust lay on the workpiece next to the belt . Release of the roller tension be very nice and change the belt a breeze . Belt tracking adjustment be easy and it track perfectly . for a belt sander , it be very quiet - let I say that again in case you can not hear very well from use another model - incredibly quiet . the long power cord be a real bonus , no extension cord necessary . I be happy to add this machine to my shop . +932 Bag POS 4 it be really well do and it fit we Canon a640 like a glove . I just will not give it a 5 star because there be nothing innovative about it . +214 Bag POS 5 good Quality , good price . the tool bag be very spacious and well build . +318 Bag NEG 1 I be still wait for this item , and I , too , order it in late December . the other two bonus item come quickly , but it be the bag I really want most ! come on people ... and today my delivery estimate change to add another MONTH ???? you have get to be kid I . +92 Bag NEU 3 the bag be easy to install , but only collect about 50 % of the dust collect . a shop vac might do better , but not too much better . +497 Bag NEG 1 would get the same result if I tie on a old sock to the dust chute . quickly clog and become ineffective . use a vac or dust collector instead . +377 Bag POS 4 this bag be a great bargain -lrb- though I get it as a gift -rrb- . there areton of great little pocket here and there ... even one to put my cell phone in . as for put a laptop in there , I have problem put my big Dell Inspiron in there ... though it do fit but it be tight . another work laptop I have -- also a Dell but a bit smaller and probably more the size of the average laptop fit in there perfectly . it be fairly comfortable and fit a lot . it be a kind of heavy bag to begin with ... so if you use it as makeshift gym bag or beach bag , a simple towel and some cd make it heavier than you would probably want . +221 Bag POS 4 have be able to my Canon 20d , 70-300mm lens , Canon Elan,70-280mm lens , a 50mm lens , 580 and 430 flash , Turbo Z , Epson P2000 , all of charger into the main compartment . multiple cable , extra battery , manual , clean gear , and everything else require for a shoot . love the room and all the little small pouch to stash stuff in . only minor complaint be the number of zipper and buckle need to access main bag . but I be anal and always zip and snap they and will never pick my bag up and have all fall out . price be unreal . buy it . +337 Bag POS 5 the GateMouth bag be the perfect fit for my Hitachi NR90AE nailer . Quality be great +733 Bag POS 5 I have 2 of these now . I store my battery powertool in they . sturdy enough to be rough with . +33 Bag POS 5 I recommend this bag for anyone want protection and versatility . it fit extra item such as some cash and dl and debit card easily so on a small excursion , I do not need to carry anything else . Perfect fit for my slightly odd shaped Cannon too . +196 Bag POS 4 seem to be well make , except the handle , which be thin and cheap compare to the rest . pocket seem they be go to be useless . +353 Bag POS 5 for the same price , you can choose between this bag -lrb- cbv12 -rrb- which have a detachable camera bag , or the cbv15 , which be a slightly larger bag . so , you have to decide if you like the detachable convenience , or if you want more space . I choose more space and get the cbv15 , but my choice may not be right for you . the great advantage of this bag be that the entire top unzip -lrb- it be actually a double run zipper which give you a wide storage space while everything stay in place -rrb- . it be great for my movie camera so I get another one for my digital still camera . I can keep 20 minus cd plus mark pen , extra battery and charger , and my bulky but essential viewing hood . when the bag open you can see everything , place everything , and when it close everything stay in place . after a year I have decide the design be probably the most convienent I have use in 30 yr . +62 Bag POS 4 I be a hobby woodworker and just start to add to my tool collection . this be my fist belt sander and I while I do not have experience with any other sander -lrb- other than a dewault that a friend lend I to scribe a counter top in my laundry room - and it seem to work well -rrb- , I believe the Makita live up to its stellar reputation . everything just seem to work flawlessly . once you have belt adjust , it track perfectly . I understand this be the one issue that most user concern themselves with and I can not speak any more highly about it . track straight and true for sure . I be delighted with my purchase but only give it four star because for $ 200 I think it should come with a bag or case . other than that , this be a very high quality tool . +723 Bag POS 5 I do have to say , I do not expect to get something this huge . it be so roomy there be room for a lap top . I plan to use it as a carry-on bag for travel , so I can put all my book and extra thing on the plane with I . it be perfect for travel with all it be pocket and zipper . it even have a key chain inside . I can see how a bag like this can be so versatile : diaper bag ; school book bag ; lap top bag for work . it be great ! and the price be reasonable . I think it be a bargain ! +828 Bag POS 4 bag be adequate for the Hitachi NR90APR gun but a bit snug so the zipper do not fully close around the green piston housing of the gun . need about another inch of width there . gun be fully cover in the bag , but the zipper stop a little beyond the handle on the short downslope . +391 Bag POS 5 my dog be 10 , so I have have the opportunity to try lot of different bag . there be the best . they look good -lrb- in that you can not see anything when fill ! -rrb- , they be easy to open , and I love the extra lining at the bottom . I also really appreciate that they be biodegradable . one large box last I about 5 month . I have never have a problem with they be weak or degrading before they time . +393 Bag POS 5 this be a great bag ! lot of storage and the layout of the main compartment with the Lens Bridge be pretty nice . the zippered top flap with buckle and velcro be a great feature as it allow quick access with only 1 buckle to remove . and the zipper help to keep dust out when store . very satisfy with this bag ! +640 Bag NEG 1 if this bag work as well as the miter see bag then you would be much better off buy a box of dust mask and a pair of coverall . Waste of money . +709 Bag POS 5 I be impress with this screw bag . I have be look for one for a long time before I look online . I be afraid the material would be too thin , but it be actually quite strong . I like it . +428 Bag POS 5 I have two 35 ' 10\/3 cord with giant plug on each end . these be extension cord that I make to remotely charge my Electric Vehicle at 220V and 30A . these be big , fat cord . I purchase two of these bag think that I would need one each for the two cord . wrong . both of my cord -lrb- 70 ' total , plus four giant plug -rrb- all fit in one bag easily . the construction of these could not be better . the zipper be huge and rugged -lrb- and go both way -rrb- . the most important part be that the zipper go about 80 % of the way around the bag , so load the bag could not be simpler . the bag open completely like a clam-shell - you set the cord on the bottom half , and flip the top half back over and zip it around . I think -lrb- the money -rrb- be a lot to spend on a bag like this , but I could not be happier with the purchase . I would much rather buy something of quality that I do not have to worry about a few year down the road . great product ! +27 Bag NEG 2 we order this bag when we order the Garrett ace 150 detector . I wish the bag be bigger . you need to take the detector apart every time you put it away . even shorten the detector the whole way be not enough . they could have make the bag just few inch longer and it would have make the difference . +125 Bag POS 4 I purchase this Bosch belt sander to sand base board and other trim . the wood be all yellow Pine so far . I like the smooth running of the belt and the sander do not seem to work hard . I will be sand Oak trim in the future and that might work the sander , if it do not work as well on Oak I 'll be post another opinion . my only complaint be the power trigger be located such that when you pick up the tool you finger depress the trigger and so start the sander . of course I have learn to allow for this and now I do not pick it up as I would other power tool . oh ... I own other Bosch power tool , router , power hand see , and find they to be well make too . oh I purchase the the fence and stand for the sander , well worth the money . I look forward to use this sander for year to come . Larry +865 Bag POS 5 this be a great bag . there be lot of room leave even after place you dslr pentax camera in it . +127 Bag NEU 3 I receive my new dc70 case Logic Digital Camera Bag , along with my Nikon 3500 camera and be disappoint not have the padded divider along with the bag . I do not want to return the entire bag but have be frustate at find a way to communicate with Amazon.com to find out it they can replace the divider . +633 Bag POS 5 I be go to buy a smaller 21x3 , but find this Makita for not a whole lot more . I could not resist - especially as I like Makita tool . on arrival , it appear that the unit I receive have already be use . that make I pretty mad but I decide to test it out before return it to Amazon . hey , it be already use so no big deal . well , I be not give it back now . the only down side be that this thing be heavy . one of my project involve remove a bunch of material from some wall . I do not know how long I can hold this heavy beast against a wall though . on the other hand , horizontal-ish surface be super easy because the unit 's weight mean all I have to do be keep control . you do not want this to be you only power sander though . it work fast , but that also mean it can cause a lot of damage in a hurry too . for example , a little slip and you have round a edge rather nicely . it would be very hard to round all the corner evenly though . +427 Bag POS 5 man , these bag be great ! I fit a lot of my personal tool in here and have to take some out because the whole be too heavy ! I love the durable cloth ; I love the shoulder strap ; but what I like most be the use of space . there be a neat set of strap on top for a 2 ' level . there be organizational pocket on the inside for pencil , chisel , and whatnot . there be a lot of room . they be not kid when they say you can fit a sawzall in there . +788 Bag POS 5 I order this bag to use with the Canon PowerShot a10 and be thrill with it ! it hold the camera , extra compact flash card and battery . the inside be plush and will not scratch the camera and it have a rain hood for bad weather . this bag fit the a10 like a glove !! +708 Bag NEU 3 build quality of this bag be excellent and it be fairly light-weight . however , the design seem inherently flaw . if you load up the tool pocket line the inside of the bag , the weight of these tool tend to pull the bag close , make it difficult to reach for a tool one-handed , and about impossible to efficiently place tool back into the pouch , so I never end up bother and pretty much use this as a cluttered tool sack . I just replace it with a more rigid nylon tool bag . +775 Bag POS 5 this be a very nice bag , big enough to carry a traditional film slr with a extra lens , or to carry two digital camera . that be why I buy it : to carry a large , extended zoom digital camera plus a smaller ultracompact as well . it be big enough to carry the two camera , they charger , battery and memory card ... yet it be a pretty compact package : it be not sprawl and floppy like some bigger bag . all in all , nice amount of carry space without be too bulky , and a good deal as well +655 Bag POS 5 I just recently get a Powershot A80 , which I love . I get the Canon psc-60 soft case sight unseen since it seem like a nice complement for the camera . the quality of material be good , but the design seem simplistic and minimalist to the extreme and leave a lot to be desire in term of functionality . I move on to the Lowepro mx10 -lrb- which be now call the Lowepro D-Res 10 AW , only the color have change a bit -rrb- . for about the same money as the Canon case , I get : - a reclosable belt loop -lrb- with strong velco attachment -rrb- - removable neck strap - soft tricot lining -lrb- no scratch lcd with this case -rrb- - room for a extra compact flash card -lrb- a bit tight with a cf plastic cover , perfect fit with just the card -rrb- - room for 4 extra aa battery , even with the extra compact flash card in the case as well - a weatherproof and durable fabric - wide top-opening full zipper top - reasonably thick padding overall , the Lowepro bag look like it be make for the Powershot a80 -lrb- and presumably the a70 and a60 as well -rrb- , the camera fit just a little loosely by itself , but perfectly with 4 extra aa battery and a spare compact flash card . I can not say anything negative about my Canon camera , I love it . the psc-60 case , however , leave a lot to be desire , and much better option exist out there . I highly recommend the Lowepro case . one final note : Lowepro have a `` matrix '' on they website to match many different camera model with the appropriate bag . for the Canon Powershot a60\/a70 -lrb- similar size as the a80 -rrb- , the matrix recommend another bag -lrb- the d-re 8 -rrb- , but I try both in a store and the MX 10\/D-Res 10 seem a better fit , with more room for extra -lrb- cf card and battery -rrb- . +559 Bag NEG 1 the box come with the security seal open , a bad sign . I look like the item have be return . the problem be the sand belt just fly off and the tension adjuster do not work at all . +129 Bag POS 4 Super bag for carry a digital camera ! it have a great soft lining on the inside to keep the precious lcd screen from scratch . it have a very durable outer material , and two zipper that be reasonably easy to pull . the bag have a ajustable velcro divider for the back or bigger pocket -lrb- that be the width of the bag -rrb- . in the front portion of the bag be two laminated mesh pocket . each pocket be the perfect width for 4 aa battery . this be very useful for keep a couple spare set on hand . in the back pocket , I use the divider to keep my camera seperate from my other material . when I buy this bag , I also buy the Lowepro memory wallet , which have two laminated pocket perfect for smartmedium or compactflash , and one mesh pocket that be again perfect for 4 aa battery . I stick the memory wallet in the other half of the back pocket . this let I take the bag with I , but keep my memory tuck away and safe , and also if I leave my bag somewhere , and I need to keep extra stuff in a pocket , I just take the wallet with I . this keep a fresh pair of battery and extra memory with I at all time . you could also keep a battery charger in the back pocket if you do not have a memory wallet . but this bag if you have a semi-compact digital cam ! this be one of the most important accesory that I buy for my cam . also , with this bag come a removeable shoulder strap . it even have it be own all weather hood to keep the bag dry ! it pull out from the bottom of the back of the bag and be safely velcro would in until you pull it out . great feature and keep up the good work lowepro ! +209 Bag POS 5 a very nice bag , bigger and more quality than expect . I could fit my Pentax k2000 with 18-55mm kit lens perfectly with a bit of room on the side so it do not squeeze my camera too tight . there be a front area to store thing also . I store my filter case in this pocket . the only downside be it be a hassle to get the zipper to open because you have to pop out the front flap to do so . it be still not that big of a deal and other than that it be a great bag . +18 Bag NEG 1 this dust bag be so filmy I be afraid to handle it fear I might tear it . for 12 buck you think Bosch would spend a little more on the material . it be a insult to the ts4000 saw . shame ! +639 Bag POS 4 all i can say be wooww . if you look a belt sander in this power and price range dont look any further . fast material removal and excellent dust control system . give it 4 star becuz of the electric cord position . very close to handle and be on you way . +486 Bag POS 5 I look at many review and comment about belt sander . important factor to I be size -lrb- 3x21 belt -rrb- , dust control , noise , belt tracking and price . I pick one of the highest price in the Makita . my first job be to sand down 8 cedar 6 x 6 deck post . they be paint and my first thought be to cover then with either vinyl or 1\/2 cedar . both way would cost $ 500 . so my other option be paint or sand and clear coat the cedar . well to make a long story short I sand and clear coated all in just a few day . I be very happy with the job the Makita do , even more inportant my wife love the finish product . I use it for hour on end and have no problem . dust control be very good . I collect 2 bucket of cendar dust . as my wife always say `` you never sorry when you buy the best '' . +774 Bag POS 5 I recently buy this bag off you website and when I receive it I see it be better than advertise . the product have be improve in many way since the description be write . the long boy now have 10 interior pocket , 6 outside pocket instead of just three . -lrb- three down one side be still the big one unique to the long boy -rrb- the strap on the outside to hold a 2ft level be now adjustable -lrb- hold up better -rrb- as oppose to elastic . I highly recommend this bag . +366 Bag NEG 2 not sure why this product state a gatemouth or ridgid bottom ; the product I receive have none of these feature . the picture be accurate of what I receive ; however , the description , and the majority of the review here be describe a previous\/alternative version of this bag . a simple web search will reveal a photo of the actual `` gatemouth '' product -lrb- with a hinged top -rrb- , but i can not seem to find any vender on line offering that version of the bag . this be still decent bag , but probably not worth the $ 30 price tag . I 'll most likely rma this product . Bummed ... +648 Bag POS 4 the dust bag collector for the Bosch table see do a fair job at collection . I would guess it catch 50-75 % of the saw dust which be better than nothing . it hold quite a bit and be easy to empty . +883 Bag POS 5 this Tamrac bag be big , heavy , and hold a incredible amount of gear . I use it to carry a Olympus e600 and a Panasonic Lumix g2 with 12 extra lens . -lrb- for both the e600 and the g2 - use Fotodiox adapter on om lens to the M4\/3 Lumix mount -rrb- lens range from om 200mm down to 28mm , and I still have space to spare . as you can see , it also have compartment for flash card , extra battery , manual , and battery charger with they cable . I have not find a place to toss in the kitchen sink , but everything else fit without have to crunch it all together . the design of the bag , with the ability to customize the divider , make it easy to get to what I need very quickly . fully load , it be heavy , heck , even empty it be heavy . seem the tamrac people follow the old farmer 's say `` when in doubt , make it stout . '' I do not think the Tamrac folk have any doubt about the design of the bag , but it be very well build , and strong . since I have buy the bag , I have do some travel with it , and I have no concern about the safety of the equipment inside it - it will arrive at the destination safe and sound , and this be worth it be weight in gold . another reviewer mention use a water repellent spray on the outside of the bag , this be very good advice . I travel to tropical rain forest , and they be call ` rain ' forest for a good reason . my bag have get rain on , -lrb- like tropical deluge type rain ... -rrb- and with the spray everything remain dry and in good condition . I use Kiwi Camp Dry , Kiwi Camp Dry , Heavy Duty Water Repellent , 12oz again , this be a BIG , well-build camera bag . -lrb- though you can use it for other thing if you want -rrb- I have a tenba tenba 632-301 shootout small backpack -lrb- olive\/black -rrb- however , it do not hold all the gear that the Tamrac can . +345 Bag POS 5 when I buy this bag , I be not sure if it would be just what I be look for . believe I , it really do the job ! I keep my Digtal Camcorder , -lrb- JVC gr-dvl300u -rrb- my Digital Camera , -lrb- RCA cd - 4100 -rrb- my Qualcomm cell Phone , battery for both camera , extra tape and disk for each camera , all the attachment , and still have room for more stuff . it be the best bag I have ever see and sure do all I expect of it . if anyone be look for a bag for they camera , I would really give this one a hard look . Stan +439 Bag POS 4 I be on my second unit . the first last about 5 year of moderate use in finish carpentry , include occasionally heavy duty use . I frequently use it for scribe cabinet and trim , and restore door and sash . durability be not what I typically expect , but the overall design be so good I do not look for a different one . pro : Lightweight durable , powerful motor dust pickup good with vacuum attach -lrb- also material removal improve - less clog of belt -rrb- Belt tracking compare well to other I have use - no belt destruction while focus on the work Table top use be great for a variety of grind task , include initial phase of re-sharpening nick chisel -lrb- use water to keep blade cool -rrb- con : Power switch be more feature load -lrb- variable speed , lock on , and adjustable maximum speed -rrb- than heavy duty - my second one be fail now dust pickup get clog when sand finish with just dust bag , not vacuum attach . it be difficult to clear it once clog . dust bag be cumbersome and easily broken have recently refinish a softwood floor , detail with both this and a heavy Porter Cable unit , I can see the value of a heavier sander , but only if you be sand level surface . +16 Bag POS 4 it be smaller than I imagine , look at the pic , compare size to the size of the cable clamp . the zipper open it up all the way like a clam shell . it would be better if only the top open make it easier to put the cable in and out . the center divider be attach only at the bottom and have a mesh zipper pocket , and several small pocket well suit for screwdriver , which I do not need to keep with my jumper cable . just like the extension cord bag , the handle be thin and floppy compare to the bag . +917 Bag POS 5 this be the second bag I have own , and it be great . I look at a lot of bag and this be easily the best one . I have a 35mm camera , three lens , flash , lens doubler , and other accessory . I be able to fit everything in it with some room to spare . the bag be durable , light weight , and the construction be top notch . there be plenty of protection for you gear - lot of foam and the bottom be hard under the foam to protect against penetration from underneath . get to you gear be easy with the single front clip , yet you can make also make it more secure with the zipper . all zipper be cover for protection from dirt . even fully load the bag be easy to carry with either the handle or shoulder strap . I be very pleased with this bag and definitely recommend it . +408 Bag POS 5 cable fit easily in bag , very tough material , even put a few tool in the bag , screw driver , wrench , channel lock and such . +75 Bag POS 5 let start by say this be a powerful machine that do exactly what it be suppose to do . say that let talk about the mishap I encounter . I have 5 bird Eye maple glue up panel that I be have problem with tear out so I decide to purchase this item . all arrive on time and in perfect condition -lrb- unit have some sawdust on it as Makita always test they unit before packaging -rrb- . anyway after I open the box I immediately bring it to the shop , it come with a 80 grit belt and I feel this would be a good start point . I plug it in and turn it over to adjust the tracking and be rest it on my hip with one hand and reach for the tracking knob with the other and my sweatshirt get too close , touch the sandpaper and be immediately suck behind the belt . anyway , it happen so quick it start at the hip and run all the way up to my neck before I be able to let go of the power switch . luckily it stop before it get to my face . I have to cut off the sweatshirt and it take a hour and several cutting before I get it clear . this be one powerful well build machine as nothing happen to it , but it destroy my sweatshirt . after I get everything put back together I bring it to the shop and within 5 minute I have a perfectly flat panel ready for the random orbit sand to the fine grits . I would definitely recommend this to anyone , but do not wear loose clothing near it . I be fortunate that I be not at the table saw - a Sawstop in my future perhaps ! +25 Bag POS 5 I love these bag . they be provide at the condo community I live at and now that I have move out , I have to buy they myself . though a bit expensive , they be worth it . I notice that the quality be not as good as it be 2 year ago as they make the bag thinner now , but it be still better than the other bag with its 2-ply thickness where it count . I have only use the cheaper bag once since I adopt my dog 3 year ago so I do not have a real basis for comparison , but I think Mutt Mitts be worth the money . I be surprise after I find out how much they cost that it be provide for free -lrb- well , it be include in we maintenance fee -rrb- at the condo community I move out from . +192 Bag POS 5 this jumper cable bag be of typical Bucket Boss quality . the bag material be thick , and the seam be well stitch . as other review have note , the handle be not large ; however , they be large enough consider the duty of the bag . it be not mean for carry large quantity of tool , such as the handle on , for example , a Bucket Boss large contractor tool bag . yet , they be strong enough to carry a large set of jumper cable , some tool , and a full size aluminum flashlight . they be also large enough to man 's large hand . the bag be about 13 1\/2 x 13 1\/2 x 4 inch . in fact , it be so roomy that I can fit my 18 foot 4awg jumper cable and a 2d lead Brickmann flashlight in the same main compartment for the cable , with other tool , a few rag , and a pair of glove in the remain compartment with room to spare . while Amazon will not allow I to post the price I pay , I feel it be a fair price , even when take into consideration that , to my knowledge , no other company make a similar product . and , for those of you who lack common sense , no , it do not come with a set of jumper cable . you must purchase they separately . Update : the bag be so large , that it would not fit under my seat . if you have a 2-door pickup , then this would fit behind the seat easily . but , it be too large for the underneath of my seat in my '05 Ram 4-door . +725 Bag NEG 1 the bag simply collect some of the saw dust . at best 50 % . it be much better to use a shop vac 's tubing insert directly into the output of the saw . I put together a common switch so they both go on at the same time . my rear bagger be already in the dust bin in my shop -lrb- use it 6 time in 3 week -rrb- +969 Bag POS 4 great bag for protect and keep you Jumper Cables Clean and neat . really handy if you own average Jumper cable you pick up at the big Box Stores . but if you own a commercial set -lrb- 2 gauge -rrb- the bag be a little bit of a tight fit . great construction , build very strong and sturdy . you cant go wrong with this bag !! +293 Bag POS 5 Bucket Boss have always use quality material and craftsmanship in they product . this jumper cable bag be no exception . this be a quality bag at a very reasonable price , and it do a great job of organize those pesky jumper cable , that usually sit in a big mess , in the trunk of the car . this bag even contain my extra long , 25 foot jumper cable . go with Bucket Boss and you will not be disappoint . +222 Bag POS 5 great product , well make and perfect size to hold cable and keep they neatly store in trunk of car . +407 Bag NEG 2 this only hold the camera + lens and a few roll of film . no room for a extra lens , no room for a flash , no room for a extra body . get something else . +626 Bag POS 5 the product be everything say about it . no problem . light weight and fairly quiet . Use good sand belt and you get good result . +484 Bag NEG 1 how can I rate this product when it have yet to ship and it have be more then 1 month since I order this item while all the other item have ship . I be not sure if they be ever ship this product !!! +521 Bag POS 5 this tool bag be for my son who be a electrician . he have the same bag before , but due to wear and tear it be not in very good condition . it only last 10 year . when I see this bag on you website he ask I to order it for he and he be very satisfied . +686 Bag POS 4 Works on the deck great with 36 grit paper . however , the dustless feature seem to have be ommit in the one I receive . borrow a Porter Cable with a more effective collection system and in retrospect think the more expensive Bosch would have be a better investment . otherwise easy machine , good value . +233 Bag POS 5 I first buy this bag for my grandmother who love to carry a tote bag rather than a pocketbook . I be so surprised at the quality and roominess of the bag that I be go to order one for myself . the section where a laptop should go could easily be use to keep bottle cool for a short time . I be go to use my bag as a diaper bag\/purse . it be a great bag for the price ! +394 Bag POS 5 I store my jumper cable under the rear seat of my pick-up . if I ever need to move they , they get catch up in everything , and flop around like a angry snake . well no more . this tidy little bag be perfect . well make , perfect size for any gauge -lrb- I have 2 of they - the other one for my 2 gauge tractor-winch lead -rrb- . 5 star . +638 Bag POS 5 this be a really good look bag . appropriate for man or woman . I love the configuration of the interior . I do not have a laptop , so the laptop compartment come in handy for a number of use . it be a great place to put a bottle of water . I also use it to put my wet towel in after be at the gym . it help to keep the other stuff dry . +11 Bag POS 5 at first glance , I do not think my 20 foot 4 gauge jumper cable would even fit into this bag . but they fit without much effort and there be still room for a few thing to fit in the bag . I also fit a 20 foot extension cord in addition to the jumper cable . I also put some temporary tire repair item in there as well , all fit fine . do not take up much space and can hold quite a lot . I be satisfied with this purchase . +296 Bag POS 4 I wish everyone would take the time to write product review . they be really helpful . I buy this sander because I be refinish we oak kitchen cabinet . I have to sand the dark stain off back to the bare wood . the sander need tracking adjustment by quite a bit but seem to hold the tracking once adjust . the bag and attachment do not match up with the picture on the manual , but be the same as picture in the online catalog . the sander come with a 80 grit belt . this work quite well for my project , but it would be pretty agressive for softer wood . actually , I need something agressive for my job . I have be use 40 grit with a ro for starter , but the Bosch belt sander do just as well with the 80 grit and the wood be a lot smoother . I be very satisfied with this product and the belt be easy to change . I would have give it 5 star if the tracking be easier to adjust . the overall weight be good for work on the side of cabinet rather than some of the heavier belt sander . +544 Bag POS 5 this bag be extremely well padded . I have take it to Disney World and drop it while hurriedly exit a move ride -lrb- people mover -rrb- and all of my electronics survive the fall in perfect condition . this bag have be to the beach , soccer field , pool , you name and we have do it . just dust it off and head off to you next adventure . I have have this bag for nearly 3 year and it show no sign of wear . the blue area of the bag be start to get a little grungy look but nothing that can not be easily clean . I love all the extra compartment . the removable\/adjustable center divider in the main compartment be excellent for make room for all of you small electronics . I have discover that with a little clever packing I can fit my camcorder , 6 minidv tape , audio\/video cable , camcorder charger , digital camera -lrb- a large old one -rrb- , APS camera , spare battery , digital memory card reader , and 4 roll APS film into the bag . -lrb- keep in mind , my camcorder be a fairly small MiniDV camcorder . measure you camcorder to be sure this bag will be large enough for you equipment . -rrb- for wear comfort it have a nice padded carry handle and adjustable , nylon webbing , shoulder strap . the bag itself be so lightweight that you hardly notice it be there , yet it be provide exceptional protection to you camcorder . another winner from the people at Samsonite . +249 Bag POS 5 this be the bag that do it all . I love use it more than any other doggie bag on the market . it keep my hand clean and it be ok for environmental purpose . there be never any hole -lrb- as in other bag -rrb- for anything to drop out . love these bag and you will also . +485 Bag POS 4 great sander . Bosch obviously put a lot of think into the design . however , I be bummed no case come with it , and none appear available . without a case the dust collection bag get bang up or catch on other tool . I be in the process of try to find another brand of case to fit this unit in . come on Bosch , use a little comon sense and include a case . +746 Bag POS 5 Belt sander may be one of those power tool that be not pull out often , but when you need to remove large quantity of stock , you will want to have one . the 9403 , 4x24 sander be powerful , have good balance , good belt tracking and easy belt change . this Makita also pick up a very decent amount of sand dust , have comfortable handle , a nice soft-start , and , most importantly , chew through stock with ease . this belt sander be possibly the best 4x24 on the market . I be very , very pleased with it . it be a genuine pleasure to operate this Makita , compare to my old craftsman 3x21 which I have receive as a gift year ago . I spend as much time adjust the belt tracking on the Craftsman as I do sand , but since I use it infrequently , I just put up with the excessive noise and generally less than stellar performance . after use the 9403 for 2 + year , I shake my head everytime I use it , wonder why I wait so long to replace my old one . I find myself pull this sander out and use it more often . long cord be always a big plus for I , often eliminate the need for extension cord in the shop . I just can not find anything negative to say about this machine yet . note : be advertise as ` quiet ' at 84db be pretty relative since -rrb- 90db for sustained period will deafen ... hearing loss be cummulative over time around high db power tool -lrb- router , table and miter saw , plate joiner , etc. -rrb- even if rate under the 90db threshold ... wear ear protection -lrb- check out Peltor H10A Professional Earmuff Hearing Protectors -rrb- . +581 Bag POS 4 the Makita 9403 belt sander arrive as schedule . I promptly open the package to discover a lightly use or `` demoe '' tool . there be a light layer of dust on the tool and the some minor scratch on the base and the pressure plate show striation from operation . it certainly do not look like much more than very brief use and the abrasive belt be new . possibly someone return it after test firing it and decide it be not what they need . the packaging be original but not quite `` right '' - brown paper use to pad the tool - not use in my -lrb- very limited -rrb- experience with other Makita tool but often use by amazon in packaging . the light `` pre-use '' do not bother I much as that be what the tool will look like after five minute of use . more troubling , the plastic slide that hold the dust bag -lrb- part no 1225629 -rrb- close be break in several place . the broken piece be all in the box , support the thesis the tool have be open , try or at least run in a dusty environment , and then incorrectly repackage . the dust bag itself appear unused . I have email Amazon ask they to simply replace the plastic slide rather than force I to go through the hassle of repackage and ship the tool back . I 'll provide a update after Amazon respond . Update : Amazon could not send just the broken part but do provide for return shipping and immediately send out a new one . I be fully satisfy with the replacement and they prompt response . after a dozen hour use I be pleased with the tool . my only disappointment be that it require adjusting\/centering the belt a bit too frequently , but easily do . +823 Bag POS 5 I get this case for a more portable version of a carrier for my slr -lrb- the backpack bag be not always ideal -rrb- . the price be great . I look at some other brand , and they be all $ 10-15 more . I end up get the bag partly because it match my camera . it be a great purchase . it be not go to hold the charger or any other accessory of any size , but that be not why I buy it . the nylon be nice and durable feeling . the velcro and zipper closure feel solid . the strap be the only potential upgrade , but for the price I be not expect a ergo pad strap . great buy . +910 Bag NEU 3 as mention in another review , the bag be a good bag . it be lighter than the McGuire Nicholas 24 '' bag , but it have only 3 covered pocket . first , the bag be a good bag . quite large . see product description for actual measurement . it have 3 covered exterior pocket with velcro secure they . 3 open fact pocket on the other side . on the interior , there be pocket on only one side , and they be flat-sewn to the backing . there be no bellowing or gusset . second , compare to the Mcguire 24 '' comparable model , the bucket boss be a little smaller , but lighter . the biggest difference be that the McGuire have more and larger interior pocket , 3 more covered exterior pocket , and be 10 $ cheaper . +773 Bag POS 5 I own a Olympus d460 and it could not fit anymore perfectly . any of the Olympus camera of this line will fit just as perfect . there be a super slim zipper pocket on the back that hold my extra flash card . Case Logic be a great brand too , you will not be disappoint in this purchase . +594 Bag POS 5 this be the best bag for the money available ! nothing else can be say . +431 Bag POS 5 this be the second of these bag that I have have . the first I buy over 15 year ago at a Wal-Mart before they all become Super Wal-Mart . it do its job for a long time and finally the zipper give up . I hunt for another one and could not find one anywhere locally so I order one from Amazon . First of all I 'll point out that I have no use for the outer pocket . while I agree with other reviewer that it be very small and not very useful , it be a non-issue for this review . it would be fine with I if it be not there at all . the set of jumper cable I have be heavy duty and 20 foot long . I lay they out and verify the length with a tape measure and they be in fact 20 foot long . they roll up and fit into the bag nicely . I do not know why so many people say they heavy cable will not fit in it , or they long cable wont fit in it . my cable be heavy and long and they fit in it just right . the only noticeable difference I see between this bag and the one I have originally be that this one be make of a rip-stop material . my original one be just make of regular canvas , so I would say this be a upgrade . overall I be very happy with the bag , and if you have a set of jumper cable that you want to stow in a bag then I recommend you give this one a try . +108 Bag POS 5 this be a great all around bag for the average ameture photographer . lot of room for a body and up to a 300 mm lens . +239 Bag POS 5 I purchase the Samsonite Worldproof Intermidiate Camcorder bag a couple of day ago from another well know e-store , I find the bag to be suprisingly worldproof , it be well design , with plenty of padding and enough room to fit my sony trv58 handycam and Hewlett Packard c200 digital camera along with my nimh baterry recharger and the camcorder adapter . the worldproof sign do not appear on the bag contrary to the picture up above , I like that , the worldproof logo would seem a bit redundant . the bag be very strong and look like it can take a beating or two , which be great for I since we get alot of rain down here in Puerto Rico . Samsonite also give you a lifetime warranty , so you can not go wrong . +120 Bag POS 4 have now own this sander for several month I be not as happy as I have be . you have to be extremely careful when use this with a sand pad . if you catch the pad -lrb- even lightly -rrb- you ruin the sander 's ability to track . I have send it in for repair once already and have to do so again . the sander be not nearly as durable as I have hope and I be very careful with my tool . I recently buy a Makita which I find to be a much better sander . I have be generally happy with the purchase of this belt sander . I have find the variable speed to be a nice feature and power be not lack . the base plate be not cast aluminum but the graphite platten plate appear to work fine at reduce heat buildup so I be not too worried about warp . the cloth bag be not as show in the photo , view the part diagram for this sander on the Bosch web page explain the change . the dust collection work well provide the duct remain clean -lrb- mine packed full within a few minute of sand pine at 50-grit -rrb- I have to completely take apart the sander to clean out the duct but it appear to work well now . +628 Bag POS 5 I buy this sander for heavy duty sanding of hickory . it be very quiet . have enough power , if use 40 grit paper , that it pull so hard it wear out my employee . the tracking be top quality . the long power cord be a plus . I own over 2 dozen Makita tool and this will not disappoint . +95 Bag POS 5 I have own about 12 toolbag in the past 5 year . my Bucket Boss junior -lrb- smaller -rrb- size be a great bag , and for a larger bag I have own several different manufacturer . however , I want to consolidate my tool and go look for a larger Bucket Boss . I be thrill to have find this one . this bag be sturdy , with great outside pocket and a lot of inside pocket too . I jam my tool in there stand up ... on the wall of the bag ... like a needle nose , screwdriver , and chisel , and the bag have not rip nor tear . the handle be a big padded to make carry it easier too . every other bag I have have have have some drawback - one thing that make it suboptimal . this bag truly have it all and I hope they be still make they in 20 year which be how long I think it 'll be before I need to replace it . the only 1 thing I would recommend be that they rivet some small metal `` foot '' onto the bottom of the bag , to rise it about a quarter or half inch off the ground , so that if you set it down on wet or dirty ground , the bottom will not get wet . PS - it be large enough to hold basically every tool I need for a household job , include a 16v drill and case of drill bit . +656 Bag POS 4 I buy this bag intentionally for my Pentax SLR , instead of a video cam , and be very satisfied ! room for the body , two lens and several filter along with half a dozen roll of film and a few odds and end . +612 Bag POS 5 my daughter send I a Amazon.com tote bag for my birthday . I have not let go of it since ! I put all sort of thing in it - I think it be bottomless . I sling it over my shoulder , and I be ready to go . I love the quality and roominess of this bag . +658 Bag POS 5 like all Bucket Boss product , the 6009 bag be sturdy and will stand up to year of abuse . this bag be perfect for store jumper cable . I have a really nice , larger set of cable -lrb- 16 ' 4 guage -rrb- and get the cable in and out of the bag be supper easy , thanks to the heavy duty zipper . even with glove on , it be no problem . this product be well worth the money ! +834 Bag POS 4 this bag be not cheap but it be very well make - plenty of room for extra long jumper cable along with many other thing you ought to have in the trunk for those bad luck day . the bag arrive when expect , be reasonably well package for shipping , match the picture , be very well make , and be a nice way to keep the trunk organize - what more can you ask for . 5 star for quality minus one for price +647 Bag NEU 3 light , almost too light ; and relatively quiet . not as agressive as I would like , even with 60 grit . dust collection bag still obtrusive and tend to spew extra fine dust into one face if the unit be hold at a ninety degree angle . the angular design make for a secure fit upside down in a bench vise so one can hand feed smaller piece for shaping . I rarely use a belt sander and then only to hog off amount to then use the ro sander . bottom line : I love Bosh anything so if I have the money I would have spend extra to get a heavier duty machine by Bosch . +176 Bag NEU 3 I do not know what people be think . a glove contour exactly to the shape , and the 10aw certainly do not do this . I have a Canon a640 , and you could fit the a640 and a sd100 side by side ; I know because I put both in there . not that I would like to carry it that way , but you could . or , you can fit the a640 plus twenty-two aa battery ! maybe a few more on top of the camera . so it be not a glove , but a huge oversized mitten . it be big and bulky . the apex 30aw fit the a640 like a glove . ok for the product itself : pro : simple design two-way zipper -lrb- apex 30aw only zipper one direction -rrb- double-velcro belt loop con : no separate velcro flap for battery and accessory slot . if you flip it over , everything fall out . bulky - too much waste space overall it be a nice bag . just not as small as I would have like . +37 Bag POS 5 sander arrive in perfect condition . the belt that come with the sander should go straight into the garbage can ! once I put a good belt on , it be very simple to adjust the tracking , and it have hold that adjustment with no issue so far . the dust bag be ok , but it can get in the way on some project . the long cord be terrific , but be careful not to let it get in the way while you be sand . noise level be pretty decent . the sander perform very well , with no tendency to gouge the workpiece . all in all , I be totally please so far . +796 Bag POS 4 I buy this bag for my Canon Sureshot 85 . the camera and 3-4 roll of film fit into the bag well and it be easy to carry . +478 Bag POS 4 I buy 2 of these for we rv . one have a 25ft 10\/3 extension cord and misc adapter in it . the other hold a 100ft 12\/3 extension cord . it hold the 10\/3 very nicely . the 12\/3 be a bit snug but fit . I have not have they all that long so I can not comment on the durability of they . the quality seem good . the fabric be not as thick as it could be . however for stuff that we be not use that often I expect it will hold up for a good while . 4 star just because it be not that thick or double stitch . I would look for something better if you be go to be use it every day . but for stuff that be not use a lot this will probably do just fine . +414 Bag POS 5 the name alone should be enough to satisfy the avid e-customer . for all other this be one fine camera bag . there be plenty of room for most digital camera with several zipper compartment all throughout the bag . the material I be sure be pleather but make very well ! the shoulder strap throw I at first because I think it be entirely too short , then I realize it have a adjustment on it . :0 very nice camera bag indeed !!!!! +671 Bag POS 5 I purchase this bag after try a few other for my rebel xt . the problem be , I like to carry my small video camera with I and could not find a bag to hold both without it feel very cramped with concern that the camera would bang together . in this bag I be able to carry my rebel xt with 28-135mm lens attach , my Canon video camera where the second camera body would go , a 24mm lens , 60mm macro lens , 85mm lens and 70-300mm do lens . I also have room for battery , image card , battery charger , wallet , cell phone and other misc in the pocket . I be afraid this would be really uncomfortable to carry when fill but so far it feel fine . I think I finally find the bag I be look for . +766 Bag POS 5 I use this camera for a alaskan trip , for the first time . I be very pleased with the result and ease of use . I do find the multiple flash setting a little difficult to master . however , overall the camera produce remarkable , clear photo . a lens cover would be very helpful , as a accessory . +990 Bag POS 4 this camera bag be great . it be big enough to hold 2 body , and several lens ; yet the bag remain light weight . it also have plenty of storage compartment for extra gear and film . +609 Bag POS 5 the Tamarac pro 12 be a well think out and well make camera bag which hold more gear than my previous Lowepro Magnum AW for much less cost . Amazon 's price on this bag be lower than anywhere else I shop . Great Value and Great Price plus free shipping make this a fantastic purchase . Grant +635 Bag POS 5 this bag be simply one of the most marvellous ! Easy and very usefull to take with you anything you want . +78 Bag POS 4 I agree with a previous reviewer that the dust collection system be poor . Mine keep come off and frankly , it get in the way . I beleive I have come up with a good solution . I have a porter-cable finish sander # 333v and it have a unique dust collection system . call a sand trap , it be a porus cup that work quite well , collect even the finest sanding . I purchase a spare cup for -lrb- $ $ $ -rrb- and mount it on the 1274 with a 1 inch piece of plastic tubing and a clamp . it seem to work perfectly . I 'll advise after I use it a month or so . you can buy the sand trap from Porter Cable direct by call technical service list on they web site . +783 Bag NEG 1 I buy and return this bag . it be huge . I could have fit three digital camera in there . the reason I buy the digital camera -lrb- olympus 3020 -rrb- be that it be small and compact . this bag be almost as big as my camera bag for my slr . my bag be also miss the divider so the camera would just flop around in the bag . +404 Bag POS 4 let face it - it be not a vacuum but it help . it collect a fair amount of dust from my Dewalt 745 . for the price it do alot - i put it on everytime i use my saw since it just make clean up a little easier . +42 Bag POS 4 the Case Logic DC70 Digital Camera and Accessory Bag be great for Olympus C-3000 , c-3040 , c-3030 and the HP c315 xi and a couple of other HP and Olympus model . however it be not big enough to room the Sony Mavicas . so dont bother get this for those . I do have a problem with this bag and that be that it seem like the accessory on there be really stuff once you camera be place inside it . because the camera come with the usb Cable and the tv connection cable and it be hard to pack all of they in here with the camera without stuff they in ... there be place for a battery recharger in there and a set of battery along with the compact flash card . overall this case be pretty decent although you have get to be careful not to let the case swing about from you arm and hit a wall or something . there be other website sell this a little cheaper . +953 Bag POS 5 I just buy this bag for the Canon Powershot g2 ... though another reviewer make a excellent point in say that apart from battery and 1 or 2 extra memory card it will not fit much accesory , the main reason I buy this bag be for optimal protection of the camera itself , and only secondly for transportation ... other point : the opening be nice and large , though not in a way that the camera might fall out ... with this design I think it will be easy to get the camera out when you need to . the material look and feel excellent . the inside material be very soft and padded for excellent protection of the camera . one of the crucial thing to I to choose this bag be the All Weather Cover . a ` jacket ' that be nicely tuck away in the bottom-back of the camera , that you can pull out and nicely fit around the front and side of the bag . it may seem a little tight -lrb- it have a elastic part on the top -rrb- but think about it : the looser it 'll fit , the less weather protection it will offer . a very nice bag for a very reasonable price ... +673 Bag POS 5 this bag be very sturdy and padded . the description be pretty scanty , but I take a chance and buy it . glad I do . the bag hold my JVC gr-dvl805u minus dv camcorder , the strap , battery , ac adaptor cord , 4 tape , the remote , and all connector cable . it be kind of a tight squeeze with all those accesory , but the bag be compact , comfortable , and easy to carry , with the camcorder still be protect . the bag also come with a lifetime guarantee against defect . the only thing that could be improve be that it be awkward to get the camcorder in or out of the bag while carry it with the strap over the shoulder ; the zipper be hard to reach and go all the way around the top . that be the only thing that could be improve , and could be consider a safety feature , because the camcorder certainly will not come out unexpectedly . the bag be also very durable and nice look . I recommend it . +976 Bag NEU 3 just a note : if you buy Nikon 900 series Digital Camera , do not buy this carry case . it be too samll . you will end up send it back . but overall , this be a nice carry case . it look and feel like leather . it include 2 accessory panel to hold spare battery and memory card . +644 Bag POS 4 I never try a Tamrac camera bag before , and I must say that I really like this model . nice durable construction with a padded interior to protect you camera -lrb- s -rrb- and equipment . that be say , I be a little dubious about the claim that it will fit two slr with lens attach . certainly if you lens be fix then it should not be a problem , but if both be equip with zoom then you may run out of room . I have a Nikon D70s , and with the 18-70mm DX kit lens attach it reach just about to the center of the bag or slightly past it . either way , two camera like that would result in the lens touch tightly at the cap . as my other camera be a Coolpix 5400 room be not a issue , but it do factor into I give the pro 4 star instead of 5 . so basically , if you have one slr and want a roomy bag with adjustable divider and pocket space then this may be what you be look for , otherwise you may want to look for a larger model . +101 Bag NEG 2 too small +872 Bag NEG 1 I purchase this bag to carry my jumper cable in so they would be neat and organize in my truck . to bad they will not fit in the bag . the only cable that would fit in this bag be the cheap one 's from `` FRED 's '' +49 Bag POS 5 before I retire , I use one of these in my job for many year . the material for the bag be super-tough Cordura nylon . externally , the many different size pocket neatly store the most used tool for quick access , while internally , the bag have more vary size pocket on both side and on the end , keep all the tool require by electrical or mechanical tech organize and neat for ready access . the size of the bag be just right , IMO , for technician keep mechanical and electrical system in good work order . meter and other misc tool go in the center of the bag , and it be not heavy at all when fill . this bag become standard issue for all the other tech in the plant , it be fit and function perfect for we job . Quality be top notch . so it stand to reason that when I retire , I buy a new one for home use , it be a attachment I can not do without . there be a smaller one , but it be too small for the various tool and meter require by electromechanical technician , and the next size up , while have the same organizational attribute , become too heavy and bulky for people walk to problem in a manufacturing environment . it be the perfect size in we opinion . +227 Bag NEU 3 the bag be make of heavy rip-stop nylon that will probably outlast I . I do not use this professionally , but I always have a lot of project in my `` off '' hour . the bag have many nice pocket -lrb- though I do not find they very useful in practice -rrb- and a sturdy zipper . the big downside be that there be no stiff bottom in this bag , unlike every other bag I have use . tool all slump to a heap in the center . I 'll cut my own , but I should not have to . a minor complaint be that the handle be just a nylon strap . I much prefer the feel of the nylon strap on the ` ridgid ' brand bag which have a stiff cord in the strap . hard to describe , but it be a nice feel . Ridgid have a nice 22 '' and a nice 17 '' . if you like a small bag , Stanley have a nice 12 '' . +317 Bag POS 5 Great little camera bag for the Pentax EI-200 & HP-618i . have a tough time find a camera bag that meet my need , and the Lowepro website do a fantastic job of provide a list of compatible camera for each bag . check it out ! +826 Bag POS 5 I have be look for a tool bag , and this one be great ! it be very sturdy , yet when close do not take up that much room . all the exterior and interior pocket make it easy to stay organize . definitely a great bag ! +52 Bag POS 4 we love this to keep we jumper in and easy to find , and store in the truck . +646 Bag POS 5 I have use this model sander for year and like it because it be light weight , powerful , and do not wear you out like a heavier sander . its handle be arrange to give it a low center of gravity . this make it easier to control . the graphite impregnate friction pad that the belt run over be readily available from Bosch , be inexpensive and very easy to change . this product arrive as promise and be well package to prevent damage in shipping . +384 Bag POS 5 I have 3 dog and have be use Mutt Mitts for a very long time . yes , they have become thinner in the last few year , but be still a great product . they be also make in rabbit hash which be in the USA !! another plus for I !! bag on board be handy , but rather smaller and thinner . I use mm when I have all three dog out together and bonb when just out with one . +613 Bag POS 5 finally , I can clean the garage which have be sawdusty since my first use four year ago . this bag be perfect for my occasional use of the saw . +719 Bag POS 5 this bag be top-notch in it be construction and feature ... truly functional with space for everything I carry during the day . my only dislike be that the padded section -lrb- for a laptop computer -rrb- be only pad on 3 side , leave one entire side of the computer unprotect . a relatively small problem in a otherwise great bag . +997 Bag POS 5 a great organizer I use at work everyday . hard to find online - a gem . +661 Bag POS 5 I be apprehensive about this collection bag base on the review . however , for the price , and because I be generate a lot of saw dust , I decide to give it a try . I do have a rather powerful shop vacuum that I would sometimes attach to the saw for larger job , but that be always a hassle , and particularly for those occasional short cut . so , I decide to try this dust bag . to my pleasant surprise , it have work very well . apparently , Bosch have make some improvement since other review be write , since the bag I receive be make of heavy cloth material and have a nice zipper in the bottom for easy saw dust removal . the bag collect virtually all the saw dust that go through the dust port , and only when the neck of the bag get inadvertently restrict by the power cord do it ever clog up . on the occasion when I have attach the shop vacuum , I really have to say that I do not think it collect much more see dust than this simple -lrb- and inexpensive -rrb- dust bag do . so -- bottom line , the dust bag seem to have be redesign by Bosch , and for I it work well , and much better than expect . for the price , I do not think you can go wrong . +193 Bag POS 5 big and roomy . lot of pocket for organize the tool . I 'll definitely recommend it to my friend +190 Bag POS 5 I would see these at the local dog park and have be look for they locally for some time . all I could find around town be those really thin bag that just do not quite get the job do . I be happy to find these available at Amazon where the price be good and shipping be free and fast . these bag be way better than most other in term of pick up you dog 's business and in odor control . they be a lot thicker and much easier to tie up . a quality product that be a must for dog owner . +41 Bag NEU 3 for year , I carry my Canon REBEL in a flimsy camera bag and decide to upgrade to a sturdier Samsonite bag after certain feature stop function and the lens break -lrb- 35mm-28mm -rrb- due to the lack of padding and shock resistance . -lrb- I also decide to get another Samsonite Worldproof because I previously purchase a Samsonite worldproof 4.1 for a 8mm video recorder and be very happy with it . -rrb- this bag be great for my camera , although I wish there be just a bit more compartment space to store my extra film in a more protected manner , rather than the side mesh pocket . furthermore , although this house the camera decently and there be adjustable cell , I wish there be more room to allow the camera to fit in more deeply so that the camera strap can fit without have to stuff it in . there be a inside mesh\/zip\/pocket on the lid , and you can use that to store something small and\/or slim . what I will enjoy most of all be the fact that this bag be very sturdy and dirt resistant , and will be a more attractive camera case to carry . although not too ample in space , this be a good bag overall . +155 Bag POS 5 I buy this because it be such a good deal . I use for my Skil 77 worm drive see . it barely fit the saw so , if it be eighteen or even twenty inch it would be perfect . I do like it for the shoulder strap . I can carry the heavy saw in the bag over my shoulder and it free up my hand to carry other tool . I keep a couple of extra blade , blade wrench , a spare tape measure and some other necessity in it . make it nice to tote to where I be work . overall a good , heavy duty bag . +892 Bag POS 5 this be camera case be the best I have see for the money . far exceed what I expect . +98 Bag POS 5 this bag be very well make and be a good size . some of the pocket on the inside could be a little larger , or maybe a divider could have be add , but overall most people will really like the amount of stuff that you can pack in this bag . +754 Bag POS 5 I purchase this product to carry my 4 socket set & they magnetic holder plus other stuff . good quality build comfortable to carry with shoulder strap . Works great ! I think this bag might outlive my career . +986 Bag POS 4 I look at both the smaller bag and this one and for the money I would purchase the larger size . the smaller one be quite a bit smaller and most people would be dissapoint . +798 Bag POS 5 I absolutely love this camera bag ! both of my camera fit in it very securely , and there be plenty of room for my most important lens to be safely store . pocket line every available space which enable I to take along all , and I do mean all , of my accessory as well as my personal item which eliminate the need to carry a second bag or a purse . once pack , this camera bag be surprisingly light and very easy to carry . it be truly a dream come true , especially for someone who be previously force to carry two -lrb- 2 -rrb- camera bag as well as a third bag for my personal item . Tamrac 5608 pro 8 Camera bag -lrb- black -rrb- +524 Bag POS 4 Havent be use it long but seem reasonably durable and I have some heavy stuff in there . I especially like the strap on the outside of the bag for my long crowbar and breaker bar . I would have like some extra zippered interior pocket but a couple tool roll up throw in there solve the issue for I . also if you use the shoulder strap and the bag be heavy like mine be it may be uncomfortable . what I do here be put a aftermarket car seatbelt pad on there and all be well . +895 Bag POS 4 we have find this to be a very convenient way of transport essential tool from one job to the next . the bag be roomy and be great for any kind of tool . we be presently use the bag to carry we battery operate circular saw , which fit very nicely into the bag . +802 Bag POS 5 this bag be great for stow premium style -lrb- heavy guage , extend length -rrb- jumper cable in you vehicle . Mine also accommodate glove and a flashlight . I be sufficiently please with this bag , that I give several as gift . +724 Bag POS 4 I buy the 1274dv with the idea of sand some oak floor for refinish . so while I have drop that approach as too time consume I do push the daylight out of the sander . it have work extremely well in term of its primary purpose - that of remove stock . however , there be several design issue that could be improve upon . 1 the dust bag be both in the way and ineffective . it also require a screwdriver to remove -lrb- unless you want it fall off all the time -rrb- . so if you get one find a flexible hose that will attach to the dust outlet and a shop vac . that be not as easy as it sound . 2 the power cord - which be stiffen to protect it - exit directly to the rear thus reduce how far one could move the sander back in close quarter . not a issue if you be sand something on sawhorse . 3 the front handle should flip up -lrb- like its larger sibling -rrb- . its comfortable enough to use but I finally just take it off . the sanding have be push for long period and I have have no belt issue - with tracking etc. . I do toss all my older belt as they seem to want to come apart due to the heat generate . handle the sander be easy with a good grip and even with the front handle off . there be a lot of noise and dust so wear protection - mask or respirator , hear protection and leather glove . Hope this help ! +361 Bag POS 4 I buy this bag a year ago . as a teacher i be always look for a competent bag ! i love this bag - it be durable and keep very clean . my only 2 problem with it be : the inside pocket when fill up , hang low into the bag if the bag be not zip up and you have to fish around for the pocket and the strap could be longer . otherwise this be a good bag for you money . +178 Bag NEU 3 seem to be work okay but for $ 15 expectation be not high . only have use it once and fail to clean under the saw first . so hard to evaluate how much sawdust drop under the saw . +617 Bag POS 5 a great bag with all the protection you would want for you gear . would be a little tight for two body and all the related gear . quality construction throughout . Amazon give great service again and the bag arrive in a timely manner . I would definitely buy this bag again . +705 Bag NEG 1 in my hasty Christmas shopping I do not read the description well enough and assume that this bag have cable and tool include similar to other item on amazon for a similar price . the photo be completely misleading . just be aware and Amazon . please make it more clear that this be just the bag and do not include tool . +461 Bag NEU 3 the camera bag be reasonably price , but just meet the bare requirement . it keep the camera safe , but lack pocket for extra flash card and battery . +481 Bag POS 5 we use this bag to organize we digital camera and digital camcorder . there be a pocket for everything , include all the cord and everything have it be own place . it be not easy to get into , great when you have kid but not quick for the adult . you just have to know when you will need the camera . offer great protection for those expensive camera . +454 Bag POS 4 for the extension cord , this replace the rip shopping bag I have be pile they into . it also keep they cleaner and encourage you to roll they properly ... once that be do , it be painfully obvious . for those of you with jumper cable float around the back of the truck , this solve that a give you a clean , safe and memorable place for the flashlight , etc. . great practical gift that nobody have and everyone will appreciate . +148 Bag NEG 1 after use this thing 5 time , it quit . it be suppose to have a one year warranty . I send it back 3 month after purchase . after wait 10 week , it be ready for return , except they want $ 40 for the repair . it turn out the switch go bad , and it and several other item be not cover after 30 day . that be not mention anywhere when I purchase it . I will never buy another Bosch tool again . by the way , I be 58 and this be the first time I have ever have a switch go bad on a tool . I be not be not a commercial user . +60 Bag POS 4 the Kodak bag be a nice lightweight bag that be easy to carry . I do wish that I could load my digital camcorder vertical instead of sit it horizontal . the bag would need to be a little taller for I to give it five star . it would allow I to carry my camcorder as well as my camera at the same time without sit they on top of one another . overall it be a very nice bag . +721 Bag POS 5 I like to organize tool by job or function -lrb- electrical , plumbing , etc -rrb- . it make it so much faster to grab tool to go fix something . this bag hold lot of stuff , with pouch on the inside and outside . there be a optional shoulder strap , and even a way of secure a level -lrb- which be usually a pain -rrb- . I like bag much more than metal tool box , as they do not slide around the truck as much . they also do not rust or dent -lrb- then you get to fight with the lid -rrb- . the material bb use to make these be pretty tough . I have a few of they thing that be at least 10 year old , and they be still in good shape . a professional tradesman would wear they out faster , but they should still last for year . this bag do what it should , and it could obviously hold thing that be not tool . I be think of get one for luggage . +995 Bag POS 5 I have keep my Canon Powershot g2 , speedlite 420ex , extra set of 4 aa 's for the Speedlite , and a couple of extra cf card in this bag for about a year now . Works great ... although there be time when I would also like to put more accessory in it -lrb- charger , lens cleaner , etc -rrb- and there be not enough room , so I may be move up to a larger lowepro or Tamrac bag soon . the bag be nicely pad and soft -lrb- the `` non-scratch '' lining be important for digicam with unprotected lcd screen , but be not a issue for a g2 -rrb- . +659 Bag NEG 1 you do not show spec for this item - like the dimension . when I look for `` product spec '' I get a blank page . +715 Bag POS 5 as I order the camera on line , I want a case to fit snugly , but could not try they on for fit . the choice of camera be directly related to the size , so I do not want a big bulky case . the Lowe website tell you exactly which bag to buy for a particular model of camera , which be great , otherwise I probably would have order the wrong one . but just like they say , the camera fit snugly inside , there be a bit of room for a couple extra . for travel , hike , cycling , and whatever else I can get myself into , this be a great little case that protect well . +89 Bag POS 5 this bag be everthe it be advertise to be . . very secure , lot of compartment and well build . I recommend this bag whole heartedly . +786 Bag NEG 1 ok , I find out that this do not fit my detector -lrb- ace 250 -rrb- , which I would have know if I have read the other review . that would not have matter if ... the thing be well make . I assume that since it be make by Garrett that it would be well make , but the zipper stick on first go and then break 5 minute after get it out of the package . that say , I be return it and will not bother replace it . this be one accessory that you could probably save money by not get in the first place . I be surprised Garrett would let they name be on this thing it be such poor quality . point to Garrett for at least be responsive about the quality issue of this bag , but they should definitely redesign it so it fit they detector and do not break . after all , it do have the Garrett name on it ! +522 Bag POS 5 camera bag be sturdy enough & plenty of pocket for storage . I wish it be a little bigger with more room for accessory . . but hold camera very well ! +940 Bag POS 5 that be right folk , this bag be in fact better than those make by Canon . I recently purchase a Canon a20 digicam as a backup for my Canon S100 Elph . both be excellent cam . I buy the Canon PSC100 bag for the Elph , and though it fit like a glove , and retain the slick elph form , it have no protection , little storage space , or extra . if you drop the bag , even on the carpet , you be do for . and do I mention there be no special cloth material to protect the lcd screen ? now for the LowePro bag . this baby 's awesome ! it have enough compartment to store 8 extra aa battery & 1 extra cf card , or 4 extra aa battery & 3 extra cf card . plus , the material hug the digicam 's very plush , create a warm and protective feeling . and there be also something special in the back . you can actually pull out a nylon hood to cover the bag on a rainy day . they think of everything . excellent work LowePro . highly recommend for any digicam ... just find one that fit you cam 's dimension . +30 Bag POS 5 as other have mention this bag hold a lot of gear . one of the biggest selling point for I be that be that be can be use as you second carryon on a airline . as big as it be , it be design to fit under the seat , so it count as you hand hold carry on . I have travel with it many time and never have to gate check it . it be a little tight on the commuter plane , but I have always be able to carry it on to the plane with I . generally I have two camera body and a assortment of lens , flash etc. . it have separate compartment for extra flash card and battery as well as a few other pocket useful for battery charger , note book etc. . +878 Bag NEG 1 this item be identical to the Bucket Boss Brand 06009 Jumper Cable and Extension cord bag which be $ 5 cheaper at $ 14.99 . I buy both because I want a bigger and smaller bag and assume that this item be , indeed , bigger but it be not . this item be marked `` big '' where the other be not and be $ 5 more than item # 06009 so I be surprise when they arrive and be identical -lrb- not similar but exactly the same -rrb- . after a couple of complain email I be give a refund of $ 5 for each of the 2 of this item I buy . in short , save $ 5 , get the Bucket Boss Brand 06009 Jumper Cable and Extension cord bag instead ! +352 Bag NEG 2 buy this along with the saw since I know I would be use it inside for install new flooring . it ` collect ' maybe half of the saw dust . finally disconnect this waste of money and hook the shop vac to the saw with much better result . +674 Bag NEU 3 I love this bag . the design be nice , the egronomic be great , and the price be right . however , I have find a few flaw with the bag during my short tenure . First off , the notebook sleeve be pad on the front , two side , and the bottom . there be no padding for the back . while the back be normally rest on you lower back , I find that in case where the bag be set down on the floor a little hard , damage may result from this lack of padding in this area . although this be easily fix by a piece of syrofoam , I do not see how such a obvious oversight come to be . the second minor flaw be a miss handstrap . although the shoulder strap be great for rest on you shoulder , the longer length make it a poor handstrap . a handstrap along the top of the bag would be incredibly handy for just pick it off the seat next to you , or off the floor for a short walk the next room , save the time of heave it up and sling it over you shoulder . lastly , despite claim to the contrary , this bag will not cut it for a student , and especially a college student . there be simply not enough capacity for book and material . I feel that you can accomdate a notebook , four medium size book stand up on end , along with a small assortment of write utensil . however , the bag at this point be fairly max out , and leave little room for expansion and other item you work or you computer may need , such as a mouse and power supply or paper and file . +119 Bag POS 5 I love power ! this tool deliver boat load of it . but you know what ? it do not sound like it . I be never able to use a belt sander before without earplug . this one run at only 84 db . it be the quietest on the market . it be also the smoothest I have use . I have use all of the 4x24 sander and the Makita just seem to do more work faster . maybe it be the fact that it have the highest speed of any , maybe it be the high tech , powerful motor , the efficient drive train . whatever it be , it kick butt . the dust collection system be also top notch . for small job and fine work , I prefer my Bosch 1274 dv . it be much lighter , compact and easy to control . for extend use or heavy sand though , you can not beat this tool . +160 Bag POS 5 it be a bag for jumper cable . not much more to say about it . they fit well and it be a fairly nice bag . +174 Bag POS 5 sturdy , compact , lot of room . compartment be adjustable . I feel my investment be safe within these wall ! better price and better quality than the Sony bag . +903 Bag NEU 3 well , I be really excite about get this bag , but when I receive it , I simply have to return it because my 15 `` laptop would not fit in the computer pouch . let I know when there be a messenger bag for I because I will buy it ! the bag look great , though . Perfect for a cyclist . +926 Bag POS 5 I use Bucket Boss Jumper Cable bag to store my Coleman Cable 08660 heavy-duty 4-gauge auto Battery Booster Cables with Polar Glo-Watt Clamps -lrb- 20 Feet -rrb- it be a affordable purchase that organize twenty foot of heavy duty jumper cable spaghetti and stop it from take over my car 's trunk . I would recommend this bag for anyone who want to neatly store a set of jumper cable in they car . +678 Bag POS 5 glad I get this . it hold my Sony Cybershot camera and my JVC camcorder plus cord and extra battery . +939 Bag POS 5 great tool , like all of the other Bosh power tool I own , I be not disappoint with this one . +577 Bag POS 5 I do not carry a laptop ; I have enough problem with one desktop at home and four at work . BUT wrap some `` blue ice '' in a towel and put it and a sandwich , etc. in the laptop compartment , and I have get a semi-insulated lunch bag -- along with plenty of room for everything else . for some reason , I carry half of my possession back and forth to work each day . at this time of year , this bag be almost perfect . I hate to say the price be a steal , but ... the price be a steal . +937 Bag NEG 2 the 4000k must rank way up there with the world 's greatest sawdust disperse tool . my dust Collector be try and fail . it be now gather dust -lrb- pun intend -rrb- . it be a nice thing to look at and seem to fit ok , but you would not want to depend on it . I can not be certain with actual efficiency rating , but I would be shock if you could prove it capture even half the sawdust . get a REAL dust extractor with enough vacuum to suck the paint off the tablesaw stand , and you will be sure to collect 90 % of the saw 's by-product . the other 10 % will be up you nose unless you wear a paper mask . : - -rrb- but real man eat sawdust , do not they ? +816 Bag POS 5 this be a gift for someone do inside repair on he house . he like it very much . well-made and sturdy . good for tote tool from room to room . +591 Bag NEU 3 this device do work , but it clog up really easily-thus create ton of blow back from the kerf plate . I use it a few time then retire it . vacuum or dust pile be the way I roll . +47 Bag POS 4 buy this for my rigid table saw , would work with any saw with a 2 '' exhaust port . do not collect all the sawdust but I do not expect it to do so . probably get about 80-90 % . stop a lot of the airborne fine debris and keep anything else that escape pretty centrally located under the saw . if you can not use a vacuum , this be a very good alternative . +333 Bag NEU 3 this be a quality bag and well make be you be someone look for a compact bag to hold a single camera . we want a bag that would hold we camcorder as well as a small 35 mm camera and film . we find this bag a little to small for we need . +850 Bag POS 4 this case be the perfect size for the d-460 and accessory -lrb- case be approx 7 '' tall x 3.5 '' wide x 3 '' deep -rrb- . the main pouch be well padded and make of soft material . the bottom be reinforce to resist wear . inside the front zippered pocket , there be a mesh pocket for memory card , as well as a divide elastic band mean for 4 aa battery . inside the flap of the front pocket there be a zippered mesh pouch , which run the entire legnth of the flap -lrb- approx . 6 `` x3 '' -rrb- , for extra accessory . the only thing I dislike be the velcro on the main flap be a bit weak , and seem to come open without much force . I would have rather see a zipper to keep the main pouch close . other than that , this be a fantastic case , and I recommend it . +900 Bag NEG 2 please pay attention to the one to three star rating . this dust collection bag only capture 50 % or less of the dust come off the Bosch table see . it be not really worth the money . the table see just do not build up enough air pressure to force much of the dust into the bag . a much better , although more expensive , solution be a shop vacuum connect to the dust Deputy the dust Deputy great combination and a much cleaner work shop . +894 Bag POS 5 after research a number of bag for my new digital SLR camera , I think this bag have the best combination of price , size , and feature . I be very happy with my selection . I have never own a Tamrac bag that I do not feel be quality make . the MAS -lrb- modular Accessory System -rrb- and SAS -lrb- Strap Accessory System -rrb- be quite well think out and the available accessory be very economical compare to other brand . the bag have a small footprint , but have plenty of room for my new camera -lrb- w\/lens -rrb- , flash , extra 28-300mm lens and all my other necessary item . other bag seem to lack the perfect combination of wxhxd like this bag . it would be hard to find camera\/lens comination that would not fit in this bag . plus , extra battery set and memory card have predesign pocket so everything be quick and easy to find ... everything in it be place with quick , easy access . the only thing I could find that could be improve be 1 -rrb- heftier hook\/loop closier for the flap and 2 -rrb- more hook\/loop material to enable more compartmental option inside the bag . but , these be very small nit compare to the overal quality of this bag . +587 Bag POS 5 I get my n88rh from a pawn shop selling on eBay . the guy be brand new , never fire , warranty and all , but do not include the carry bag . the Bostitch brand bag design for that gun be tough to find , so this one seem like a good fit . the gun fit perfectly , with just a bit of room to spare inside . it be just right - no slide around , not too tight . you have to open the bag all the way to get the gun in there properly , but it be nothing bad . get this bag . +346 Bag POS 5 I use this bag for work , therefore I need something that I can depend on not to break in the field . hold -lrb- 3 -rrb- camera easily . I know it say two but if you can get creative it will hold -lrb- and do -rrb- 3 . it also hold three battery , three slr -lrb- 1 digital 2 35mm -rrb- two extra lens , as well as a ton of film . again I highly reccommend this bag , my job require that I be hard on my equipment and this bag be up to the task , but what do I know ? my opinion , buy it I be sure you will not return it . +205 Bag POS 5 I be a daily bicycle\/rollerblade commuter . I usually overstuff this bag . it fit comfortably and securely , especially with the ergonomic\/adjustable shoulder and waist strap . I live in the Seattle area , so I really appreciate the weather proofing . lot of compartment to separate my personal and professional stuff . great detail . I like the reflective piping and the ext. flap loop to attach my tail light . it would be nice to have a carry handle-brief case like . otherwise , well-made , practical , great value-outstanding . I almost look like a real messenger . +400 Bag POS 4 pro - hold lot , well build . con - pocket be too narrow for I to get my hand in , and yet so short that stuff fall out of they +684 Bag POS 4 this be the second 16 '' McGuire Nicholas bag I have purchase , I use one for most all of my small hand tool use during construction and remodel . I keep the bag full enough that it do not zip close . it be not necessary that it do anyway , as the handle and sholder strap still work fine with the bag open . if I could purchase the same design that be longer and taller I would give it 5 star . it be too short for my pry bar , adjustable wrench and long screwdriver as they be at handle level or above when stuff in the pocket . this prevent the bag from closee and also put my knuckle in conflict with the tool when I carry the bag . I purchase the second bag for my muzzeloading supplies and it work well for this . I will likey add a plano type plastic box to keep the very small part organize and in easy reach as the bag pocket be not well suit for this . the bag be well make and worth the price . +606 Bag POS 5 this tool bag be the perfect size to fit all my cordless tool together . the opening be very large , make it easy to load up . it be contruct to be very durable . +819 Bag NEU 3 nice , but u get too break down the meatal dector . I think it would fit in case without take apart , just a think before you buy one ... +999 Bag POS 5 I get this pouch last night and I be already sure that I amgo to love it . the pocket be nicely proportion and the qualityappear to be solid . the only thing I wish for be another hammer loop . I suggest this pouch for anyone who hate front tool belt , -lrb- like I -rrb- but want multiple pocket . end +665 Bag POS 5 this bag be very durable and practical for haul around you cordless tool . I use mine to hold my Milwaukee 18 v cordless saw and drill as well as a d-handle Makita router and various hand tool . they all fit nicely . three pouch on the outside each can house a 18 v battery . there be a sturdy divider that velcro on the inside and several small tool divider for nail set , pencil , blade , etc. . the bottom be nicely pad and the shoulder strap be rugged . +759 Bag POS 5 we have several of the Bucket Boss bag and they be all very handy ! if you want to store a tow strap and\/or jumper cable , flashlight , glove , small tool , reflectors\/flares , etc. then the Cable and Tool bag be perfect . it have room for more stuff than the Bucket Boss Jumper Cable and Extension cord bag . we have that one too and it be more basic , but still really nice for jumper cable and glove . any of the Bucket Boss bag we have get have be very sturdy and have hold up well despite slide around in we vehicle , be toss in the garage , and stuff under car seat . +967 Bag NEU 3 like everyone else I do all the research and read the review . I want this `` style '' bag , not a sling or a backpack or a holster , just a traditional shoulder bag that could hold two rebel xt with the normal 18-55 lens attach . so it come down to the KATA ws604 , the KATA sb904 , the Lowepro Magnum AW , the Tamrac 5608 and the Tamrac 5612 . dimension be all within 2 '' and price -lrb- on Amazon -rrb- vary from $ 100 for the Tamrac 5608 to $ 180 for the Lowepro . so I decide to try the smallest of the group - the Tamrac 5608 and it will not confortably hold 2 rebel xt with they 18-55 lens attach -lrb- one have a lens hood -rrb- . the front of the lens will bump each other in the middle of the case . and it would have be very difficult to arrange and access all of my other ` stuf ' with the two camera take up so much of the top area of the case . aside from that , it appear to be a strong , well make bag so I opt to spend another $ 35 and go for the Tamrac 5612 and I be damn glad I do . camera lens do not bump , enough space for all my ` stuf ' and easy access to everything . check out my review under that product for more detail . +801 Bag POS 5 four year ago , I buy this messenger bag . Way back then , I give it a stellar review . now , the earth have be around the sun 4 time since then . I have also change job , finish college , move , and do more travel than anyone should have to . suffice it to say , everything in my life have change . except this bag . since the day i get it , I have carry my amazon.com bag and love it because nobody else have one , and it be internet Kitsch . what I discover over 4 year be that this bag can not and will not die . its be drop out of move car , attack by a dozen hyper kitten , microwave , wear when snowboard , urinate on and use to transport everything from homework to a small child . now , despite all my amazon.com bag have be through , it still look clean and fresh . I just toss it in the wash and let it drip dry , and it look brand new , all over again . similar bag from Crumpler , Chrome , timbuk2 , and ManHattan Portage easily sell for between $ $ $ $ $ . I buy my amazon bag for $ $ $ on a fluke cause I need a messenger bag . every other messenger bag I own , be measure up against this one . they all come close , but none can touch my personal favorite . the day this bag finally die , if ever , the only thing I 'll wish for , in regard to my amazon.com bag , be that they hadnt stop sell they , so I could buy another . +582 Bag NEG 2 Thought I would give this bag a try as I be purchase a few other item on Amazon and take advantage of the free shipping offer . the Bosch table see that the bag attach to be great , the bag be not ! when rip a 2 x 4 the chip just plug up in the bottom of the saw as there be not enough flow into the bag . the bag also plug up at the next job when I be just do general cross cut work in poplar and oak . probably need to purchase one of those canister type dust collector . save you money and dont buy this Bosch accessory . +224 Bag POS 5 the reflector be a thoughtful addition for people who travel a lot on a bike . also I appreciate the extra pocket for the cellphone the PDA and the padded pocket inside for my laptop . +53 Bag POS 5 I buy the large for home and the small to keep in the car . both great bag . +568 Bag POS 5 my wife buy I this bag for Christmas and I have be wait to write a review until I have a little experience with it . I love this bag . it hold all of my gear : Canon 40D and rebel 300d body , 17-40 f\/4l w\/hood , 70-200 f\/2 .8 l be w\/hood , ef-s 18-55 and ef-s 55-250 w\/hood , and speedlite 430exius with diffuser . it also store all of my camera cleaning supplies and have ample room for manual , filter , memory card , and battery . I would highly recommend this bag to anybody look for a high quality bag to hold a lot of gear . +96 Bag POS 4 I purchase this after read review post and see where the Bostitch n-88 would fit in this bag , it do but its a little tight . the bag be of very nice quality and have a very heavy duty zipper . it come with a shoulder strap and two handle to carry by hand -lrb- I be surprised it do not have the velcro strap that will keep the handle togeather . the picture be a little misleading though , from the picture it look as if it have a stiff bottom and wil sit upright , well I be here to tell you it wont ! I think the photographer fill the bag with lightweight foam when this picture be take , not a frame gun . all and all I be happy with it , I just wish it be a tad bigger and the bottom be more riggid . +749 Bag NEU 3 although very light and handy , this cheap solution be really only good for small project . unless you do not mind empty the bag constantly . another way around this though , be to open the bottom of the bag and put it over a five gallon bucket , which you can then swap out as you go . +691 Bag POS 4 good product but slightly tight fit . the bag should be about 2 inch longer . other wise I be quite satisfied . would buy again this product . +245 Bag POS 4 I purchase this Tamrac 5603 System 3 bag in black yesterday . the first impression be really good -lrb- outside -rrb- : - nice black-color - look and feel really weather-resistant -lrb- have not try it out yet -rrb- - side soft and big enough , so you equipment stay secure . - good carry-around size - not too heavy itself inside : - it be a bit smaller than I expect and I need to figure out , how to `` set it up '' - there be a wall-system inside which you can setup how you like\/prefer it , depend on you stuff - the wall be a little too soft in my oppinion , but doesnt do any bad at all - Enough space for the small part like memory-card , cable , battery etc what I carry in it : - Canon rebel xtus -lrb- fit good -rrb- - Canon 50mm f\/1 .4 - Canon 28-105mm usm - Canon 70-200mm f\/4 l - Canon 430ex Speedlight how good do the stuff fit ? : I would say ok ... a little too tight though ... - the Rebel-Body be not too big , definitely space for a bigger body ! - when the 70-200m l lens be mount , the space to the side be too small for put the other lens in upright position . - keep the camera mount with a smaller zoom-lens -lrb- like the 28-105mm -rrb- and you 'll have enough space to carry two extra lens -lrb- even bigger one up to 200mm l -rrb- in upright position . - the external flash easily fit into it -lrb- pretty flat in upright position -rrb- overall it be a good bag and I feel much better carry around expensive equipment with a bag I feel safe with ... the capacity-limit be pretty much reach now , so if you read this and there be any think about `` might my stuff fit in ? '' or `` I could get another lens or piece of equipment ? '' ... get this bag one SIZE BIGGER ! for all the other : it be a nice bag , that you totally can not go wrong with ... have fun with it ! ; -rrb- +189 Bag NEU 3 this be a pretty good bag , sturdy and well make . I be disappointed though , with the closed cell divider . I can not figure out exactly how to use they to effectively cradle the camera without waste space . my digital slr fit well if lay on its side , but the extra compartment will hold only one set of battery with charger in the front compartment - the side `` fishnet '' compartment be too small for this purpose and seem too insecure for anything valuable . +619 Bag POS 4 this bag hold my Nikon d40 with 18-55 DX lens with room for a handful of accessory -lrb- battery charger + spare battery and power cord ; usb cable ; lens\/body cap ; uv filter case -rrb- . I find it difficult to position the padding perfectly for the d40 , so the divider do not quite cradle the camera . however , all of the accessory that I find some need for have when I be not at home fit just fine in the bag , and none of the pocket be completely fill . also , there do not seem to be a perfect corner for tuck in the neck strap - I always end up folding it in some wierd position . I do not see much of a good way to fit another lens inside - but hopefully by the time I can afford more glass , I 'll have enough cash for a slightly larger bag too . I have not have a oppurtunity to test the aw -lrb- all weather -rrb- cover yet . however , while not in use , you can barely tell it exist . for soem reason , the price go up since I buy it - it be $ 18.33 at the time of purchase , but two week later , it be go for $ 23.40 . also , I do not see why other color be more expensive - the black one be about ten buck more . +714 Bag POS 5 this be a very well build power tool similar to other swiss make Bosch tool . it have a beefy metal base that make for a stable base and it dissipate heat well , so the handle stay cool . what make this sander special be how that can easily be attach to a bench as it have a flat side and top . while Bosch sell Bosch 1608030024 Sanding stand for 1274DVS Belt Sander I mount mine with these clamp festool 488030 clamp element 2-pack the dust bag be surprisingly effective , but I find the dust port will work with a festool 27mm hose -lrb- it be a tight fit -rrb- and so it be a good choice for Festool vacuum owner . the variable control be on the trigger switch instead of a separate dial , but it do allow you to adjust speed if the trigger switch have be lock . my only complaint be how loud the sander be and in practice you do need to have hearing protection if you use it for extend period . since belt sander be loud tool in general and I can not compare this to other belt sander , I do not ding this tool for noise since it work so well in general . +381 Bag NEG 1 just purchase the Olympus 4040 and this case , the camera fill about 20 % of the area set aside for the camera . the camera be just too small and bounce around with no protection ! not a good choice . +730 Bag NEG 2 much smaller than expect . this will only hold the shortest and thinnest of cable . bag be well make but anything longer than 12-15 of thin cable will not fit inside . 4ga cable of anything longer than 10-12 ' be not go to work with this bag . disappoint with this one . not worth the return so i will find something else to use it with . +405 Bag POS 5 I buy this bag for my Bonsai tool . many be cutter or one sort or another , so it be really important to have a bag with a lot of tool pocket . -lrb- the last thing I want to do be reach into a bag & grab the wrong end of my shears ! -rrb- this bag have more than enough pocket , both inside & outside , to safely organize smaller , sharper tool . the rigid `` gatemouth '' frame allow I to open the bag & see its contents clearly . the central compartment be amply roomy for my other supplies , such as a turntable , sharpener , cleaner , etc. . it be comfortable to carry , by either the hand-grip or shoulder strap . it feel more than sturdy enough for the thing I put into it . I would describe my usage level as light-duty , as it be use intermittently , not daily . so I can not honestly say how it would fare under heavier usage . but for keep my hobby tool organize , and in one place , it be ideal . +74 Bag POS 5 my husband and I use these for we dog . they be wonderful and keep hand clean . the double layer at the bottom be really nice . +328 Bag POS 5 I purchase this bag on Amazon to be use at my job about two month ago . I work as a delivery Guy for a appliance store , and I also assemble thing at the store when not on the Truck . I keep everything I need in this bag , and then some ! Nut Drivers , Screw Drivers , wrench -lrb- pipe , crescent , open\/box set -rrb- , tape measure , a small level , Pliers of all sort , a rubber mallet and a hammer , and I even throw in a 12v black and Decker drill along with bit and a set of power nut driver . the scary thing be ... it CAN hold more ! bad for my tool buy addiction , but good for the on the go handy man who need everything ! very sturdy ! can not recommend enough . also have a guy work with I who have the Gatemouth Jr. , andit be another great bag , albeit a little smaller . +727 Bag NEU 3 Ideal for place where you can not hook up a shop vac , though it really do not help all that much with the mess the saw make . my 4000-09 saw blow sawdust everywhere , it seem about 50 % actually get to the exhaust port , regardless of what type of material I be cut . the bag catch some of it , but not a lot . the biggest drawback to the bag be its length . it might seem great for hold lot of dust before need to be empty , but it be so long it get catch in the wheel of the Bosch gravity rise stand . it can be leave on if it be rotate 180 degree at the dust port , but if you forget to flip it back over it will not catch any dust at all . +868 Bag POS 5 love it ! always want one and be glad I buy this one . handle all my around the house and small auto tool . strong , I have test it . +755 Bag POS 4 I be a field service turbine mechanic . when I get to a job site and my box be unloaded and the game plan be hash out , the first thing I do be figure out what tool I be go to need . not just for one or two job . I hate go back and forth from a tool box . I plan it out , and put everything I need -lrb- within reason -rrb- into a tool bag . well , I be please with this bag ... plenty of room , plenty of pocket . nice and sturdy , good balanced feel . now for the con . you can not lock the zipper . I do not want to lock it to keep people from steal ... it be to keep they from borrow without ask . but no problem I can put some grommet on BUT not everyone can . also a couple of nice zippered pouch would be very handy for small bit n piece . would I recommend ? yes . great price , good quality . +15 Bag POS 5 like one reviewer state , this bag be more like a tool box than a tool bag . I have use mine to carry all sort of different gear and tool , quickly throw whatever I need for the job into the bag , hook on the shoulder strap , and head out the door . I work in a environment where I be able to have a permanent `` tool cage '' and similar rolling case to store my tool in the shop , but I often need to grab a few tool and head off to a job somewhere . this be where these bag come in . I fill they with whatever I need , and off i go . I know this sound like a task for any old bag , but these tough bag withstand the weight and beating of heavy use without flinching . I know one reviewer complain about not be able to stand up he drill , but if that be a concern to I , I would transport they in the original DeWalt hard plastic case . I be usually in such a hurry that I need something big and reliable to throw my stuff in but not so big that I can not move it . I also own one of the smaller version of this bag , the DeWalt d6050 -lrb- asin b0006jkusw -rrb- that I use for a permanent collection of basic hand tool I keep in it at all time . give the minimal price difference between the two , I could have opt for another d6100 , but the smaller model prevent I from overload it to the point where I would break before the bag ! this be a great bag for any on-the-go pro ! +312 Bag POS 4 Perfect size for 20 ' 4ga . cable . keep they coil and compact for storage behind seat or in trunk . +761 Bag NEU 3 Greg sorry to disagree but this case be too big -lrb- in height not in width -rrb- for a Canon Powershot a20 . I like the batterie holder though . one other thing I hate about this case , be the belt thing ... you have to remove you belt to put this case or to remove it ... too bad ... +66 Bag POS 5 I use this bag to house my Dewalt D51822 clip Head Framing nailer . other have complain about how they nailer fit in this bag , but my Dewalt fit great with a little room to spare . the material be strong and do not seem like it will rip , tear , or fray easily . the zipper and other hardware ar extremely tough and will probably last a life time . the bottom of the bag be semi-rigid and offer extra protection when it be place on the ground . +576 Bag NEU 3 the bag be well make and fit my k-x with 18-55mm zoom nicely . inside top flap pocket for extra battery and sd card be nice to have . only problem -- the strap be too short to wear over the opposite shoulder . I be not huge , but when I put the strap over my opposite shoulder the bag come up to my rib . the strap need to be at least 10 '' longer to sit at waist\/hip level . hang the strap over the same shoulder be not nearly as secure . this strap use ` male ' side release connector on each end , most camera bag use clip-type fitting so I have not be able to find a replacement strap . +822 Bag POS 5 the McGuire Nicholas 16 Inch wide builder 's Tool Bag be exactly what I hope it would be . I have several McGuire Nicholas tool bag and they have all be quality bag . I be use this one along with McGuire Nicholas 3 small bag at just fourteen dollar with free shipping this be a nice deal . the size work great and it hold everything I need with room for more . ~ the Boss +970 Bag NEU 3 this product be make well enough , but have a really bad flaw . the lens go in first ahead of the camera body make the bag top heavy particularly if you use a lens that be taller in size than the 18-55 mm standard lens . this mean that if you pull this bag off you shoulder and have not zip the camera into the case , but rely on velcro only , the case might flip upside down and dump you camera on the ground . this happen to I . if you be discipline enough to be sure to zip the case before take it off you shoulder , or to hold the case in one hand while take off you shoulder , then this be ok , otherwise do not buy it . +171 Bag POS 4 I have own this bag for over 3 year . it be way overloaded -lrb- so much that I do not even worry about zip it up -rrb- , and have hold up very well . only two small problem -lrb- due to my overloading -rrb- : the clip that hold the stap to the ring on the bag break , and the metal bar that hold the shape of the main opening have come out of the end seam . this bag do hold a lot of `` stuff . '' it have hold up very well despite my abuse and overload -lrb- it weigh about 80 lb with all my stuff . -rrb- well worth the buy ! +706 Bag POS 5 I buy this bag after month of search for something that would hold both my camcorder -lrb- Panasonic PV-GS80 -rrb- and camera -lrb- Nikon p5100 -rrb- . I buy it specifically for travel , and need something that could handle all the man-handling by airport security as well as be bang around while hike , and this bag far surpass my expectation . the bag be pad throughout -lrb- top , bottom , side -rrb- and feel sturdy while provide protection for the electronics . the bag be , supposedly , insulate and waterproof -lrb- necessary in extreme condition -rrb- and I have no doubt that it be at least waterproof as the inside material be similar to jacket material -lrb- so water soak from outside do not make it all the way through , I be guess -rrb- . construction feel solid and the sewing feel sturdy . I be able to fit my camcorder , camera , and charge basis -lrb- but not power cord -rrb- along with a few minidv and other small assorted item into the bag -lrb- please see picture I include in the picture section -rrb- , and be more than please I can keep they together , especially when have to go through airport security . I do have to agree with the awkwardness of try to open the bag when it be wear on the shoulder , and though it may be a safety feature , it be almost impossible to try to open the bag with one hand and try to capture those lightning-fast moment -- by the time you have manage to wrangle the camera out of the bag , the moment be go , otherwise I be very pleased with my purchase . +374 Bag POS 5 as be the case with most other Bucket Boss product , this be a well-made , sturdy bag that keep jumper cable in they place under the seat in the back of my pickup truck . the bag have hold up well over the past five year as I be invariably call on to lend the cable for a jump start at least four to five time per year . there be also enough room in the bag - even with 4-gauge cable - for a pair of safety glass , pliers , a battery terminal brush , among other item . +551 Bag POS 5 this be the only belt sander I know of with a absolutely flat platten -lrb- belt support -rrb- . that plus the light weight and excellent speed control make it a great choice for cabinet face , shelve and smooth dutchman patch . while sand a crown out of a 3\/4 '' particleboard floor , I do find that I have to use a lower speed -lrb- probably because so much of the belt be in contact with the surface , for so long -rrb- , and that this cause the handle to get hot -lrb- directly over the variable speed switch -rrb- , so I would have to rest the sander . on material that can be sand at full speed -lrb- redwood , pine , metal -rrb- , heat have not be a problem . Watch out for the cord , though . I get mine one day and bent the aluminium frame . it happen . +84 Bag POS 4 lowepro do it again . be a former photo-journalist for the magazine `` Ebony , '' I always have to be on the run with my camera , and have to be ready . Lowepro have always be a reliable , affordable , attractive producer of bag , and the Nova Mini be no exception . if you only have a small camera with little film , get it ! I be tell you , especially when you do not want to be lug around a camera bag the size of a suitcase -lrb- trust I , take a plane and argue with the flight attendant if you bag be too big or not to have to put into storage be a hassle and a half ! -rrb- . Lowepro ... a name you can trust ! +871 Bag POS 5 build tough with adequate room for even the biggest jumper cable . very good ... +600 Bag POS 5 this camera bag be exactly what I be look for . it have plenty of room for the camera and lens as well as plenty of storage space . +764 Bag NEG 2 this tool bag be high quality and durable , but I like my tool to stand up in pocket . you tool in this bag must lay flat in most all case . small tool and a small quantity may be put into pocket but in the most part you just have to through they in the bottom of the bag and dig . +803 Bag POS 4 this camera bag be smartly design . there be plenty of room in the main compartment for a point and shoot or digital camera . I put two roll although there be probably room for three in the expand pouch on the front of the bag . the picture show this part of the bag as gray . it be actually all black . on the back of the bag be a snap down strap and another compartment that can hold battery or other small item . the carry strap be plenty long and can easily be remove if you so choose . overall this bag work very well and be a good value . +844 Bag POS 5 very heavy duty . I like the way it open all the way up so you dont have to fight to get the cable in or out . pocket on the front look cool but be useless . I would reccomend this product . +282 Bag POS 5 they also get away with other stuff -- the vcr , a old laptop , some junk jewelry -- but it be this tote bag -lrb- they use it to abscond with they haul -rrb- I miss the most -- so I be order another one ! it be just the best thing in the world . +991 Bag POS 5 great way to carry a good mix of tool around +348 Bag POS 4 this well-made dust collector for the Bosch Table see appear to be make of nylon and cotton and attach to the dust port at the rear of the saw . it have a zippered bottom , and do collect sawdust . it be not as good as connect to a shop vac but even with a shop vac you will still have sawdust to pick up -- with any make of `` job-site '' saw . I frequently use my saw in a garage so I use the dust collector and I also place a cardboard box under the saw . a great deal of the sawdust go into the box , quite a bit go into the Bosch dust collector , and a goodly amount will still be all over the floor . this be the way with all saw of this type . the price be great $ 10.99 , and I order it with a saw thus avoid any shipping fee or sale tax . I do recommend this accessory as it be a help . I order it on January 30 , with a delivery date on or before February 14 . I receive it before February 10 . it be well-packed . I be more than happy with Amazon and Bosch . +653 Bag POS 4 I be look to keep my camera gear in one place and this be the bag I need . +897 Bag POS 5 great size , not too stiff and hold all kind of camera equipment without seem too big . I can fit my Nikon d80 with lens plus a extra lens -lrb- fairly long -rrb- , a sb600 , battery , filter , wallet , cell phone -lrb- pocket on the side -rrb- and other misc . the only thing it be miss be padding on the top and perhaps a top handle . not sure why there be no padding on the top , there be plenty of room and I plan to add it myself . it be a good bag for a day trip or longer . and the color represent here be not correct . it be closer to a navy than a royal blue . there be plenty of pocket include a zippered one in the back that be not show here . +855 Bag POS 5 last year I give `` sensible '' gift to some of my family in northern Minnesota : Long cable super heavy duty jumper cable for sub-zero weather and maneuver a jump around snowdrift . and I get this Bucket Boss Jumper Cable Bag to hold the cable . it look great and hold the 20-foot 4-gauge -lrb- thick -rrb- jumper cable . much better than a plastic bag with a twist-tie ! here be the heavy-duty jumper cable I get . incidentally , longer and heavier gauge cable be well worth it . they still carry voltage well even when the weather be freezing . Coleman Cable 08660 heavy-duty 4-gauge auto Battery Booster Cables with Polar Glo-Watt Clamps -lrb- 20 Feet -rrb- +268 Bag POS 5 I give my dad one of these a year ago , and he have give it a workout . I think the company must have read the earlier review , and improve the strength of the bag . Dad have overload he with drill , etc. , and carry it everyplace , and it be show no sign of wear . he be so hard to buy for , it be great to see he thoroughly enjoy it . I be look for something similar but smaller to give he this year for he smaller item . +518 Bag POS 5 this be a great bag . I switch from a backpack style bag to this bag . it work better for I and allow easy access to all of my lens and accessory . it be large enough to carry two camera body and several lens and a flash unit along with filter , battery , memory card , and other miscellenous item . over all a well construct and well think out bag . +989 Bag POS 5 this bag can hold just about everything : camera , cord , memery card , and disc . it have a zip down pocket in the front with 3 mesh pocket . the only thing I think it need be a hand strap . +517 Bag POS 4 Perfect size for a slr and one or two lens or a lens and flash . my favorite feature be the pull out cf card holder . I have use this bag for over a year with no complaint . +300 Bag POS 5 I receive the dust collection bag sooner than I have expect . it fit perfectly and it be now collect all the dust from my table saw . clean-up be so much easier . thank you , Tom Jenkins +747 Bag POS 5 not much to say about this sander because everything go correctly out of the box . the tracking adjustment go like the instruction manual say it should and it be easy to control and use in general . I have use it for about 20 minute non-stop and it do not overheat . a really nice feature that I have not try yet be that the body be rectangular and you can clamp it in a vise upside down to use as a stationary sander for trim small part . all tell I have use it for a number of project and be pleased . Bosch be not the cheapest tool out there but I have get several Bosch tool and they be worth the price . a plus -lrb- more important than it may seem at first glance -rrb- be that it come with a much longer cord than most other tool I have buy , so a extension be not necessary for most job . +476 Bag POS 5 if you be a person who like to have the basics in you car , this be a great product . I always have jumper cable -lrb- some of you call they `` booster cable '' -rrb- in every car I own . I have drag old cable from one car to the next as I have buy and sell car over the year . this bag keep the cable orderly and protected , as well as protect you car 's interior from the end clamp and dirt on the cable . it be easy to grab and find you cable when need , and the bag be big enough to throw-in a flashlight as well . you know you need a flashlight because it seem jumper cable be most need at night . I have 3 car , and one of they just go to my newly-licensed son . it be not the greatest gift he ever recieve , but he sure appreciate have a bag of cable in he trunk rather than cable just float around in there . +288 Bag POS 5 i buy this to replace the hard suitcase for my 2pak drill and sawzall , and also to consolidate my dewalt flourescent flashlight , and the dewalt 18v sd hammer drill -lrb- best tool ever , love it everytime i use , this be by far the best battery tool ever , probably doesnt matter what make or model but a sd battery hammerdrill be awesome -rrb- . this bag give its large size do fill pretty quick , then again i carry alot of stuff . lenth wise it will fit the sawzall but not with a blade in . as far as the height be good but my long screwdriver dont make it , i have to put they in bigger pocket diagonally . i would definitely recommend this to anyone , depend on you need it take it all and then some . give i have four battery tool , two hole see kit in case , a standard drill bit kit in case , load of loose drill bit and see blade , the charger and all four battery , i would say its pretty spacious . strap and handle be very strong , the bottom have two hard plastic runner to give it rigidity and let it slide easy enough . would like to see a full plastic bottom that cup up at the side similar to the big stanley fat max bag but cant have everything . overall excellent , oh do mention the flat square 3\/4 zippered lid far surpass any wide mouth style bag or any bag for that matter even some tool box - when open give complete access to everything . although the top lid be soft - there be a full pocket on the underneath of it that could be line with something ridgid just to keep the contents from get smush when load into a work truck . +781 Bag POS 5 this bag look great and now that i have use it for several day , I love it . I have be look for a ` general use ' bag forever . I need a bag that could act as a carry all and as a book bag , and laptop bag . its great . someone comment i think , on the weight distribution . it all depend on hwo you load the bag . I be carry at least 25 lb . in book today all day and it be fine . also all the neat little pocket be wonderfull . room for everything you need . only one little complaint , my Sprint PCS gen 1 phone be a little too tall for the cell pouch , but otherwise , great ! +197 Bag POS 5 it be as if this bag be custom make for the Canon PowerShot a20 . the camera compartment be the perfect size ; not too big or too small . the front compartment hold 4 aa battery -lrb- a loop for each one -rrb- , 2 compactflash card and a box of 4 Duracell Ultra AA alkaline that come from a master pack from Costco -lrb- in case both set of ni-mh 's go belly up ; not likely -rrb- . highly recommend for a camera the size of the a20 . +731 Bag POS 5 I have a Nikon d70 slr . normally I have a 28 to 200 lens on the camera . I want a bag that would protect the camera and let I carry a few extra item such as memory card , spare battery and a my eye glass . this bag be perfect . my camera have to be on its side to fit but that be not a problem . if you have to carry all of you lens with you everywhere you go then this bag be not for you but if you want simple light weight protection for you camera while out have fun , then this be the bag for you . +955 Bag POS 5 nice padding all around for you camera and I like how the whole opening zip up . have not need the all weather cover yet , but it seem like a good idea . good quality case ! +367 Bag POS 4 this bag have ample space to carry one SLR camera with a lens of decent size . there be room for a extra lens or flash unit under the actual camera compartment , as well as two small side-pouch on the outside , say for keep extra film . it provide good protection for you camera . I rate it four star . +259 Bag POS 5 have use these for two year - have 3 dog and so much easier to pick up after they with these than plastic bag - way easier to keep hand clean . do feel guilty about add more plastic to the environment . +355 Bag POS 4 look so nice and clear , I want to buy it after I see it . +55 Bag POS 5 this be the piece I be miss for my tablesaw . Works as design . nothing fancy , but do the trick ! +772 Bag POS 5 this bag be PERFECT for store my 18 ' long jumper cable . Big enough to hold heavy duty cable but small enough to store under or behind my car seat . +744 Bag POS 5 this bag be so great , I already love it . it be great for carry stuff between work and home , perfect for travel , too . it be strong and sturdy enough to withstand the rigor of everyday use , but it look hip and go with everything . how do I ever manage without my Amazon messenger bag ? +70 Bag NEU 3 Makita 9403 belt sander be a excellent product but my machine arrive with a few issue that buyer should look for . the plastic slide that hold the dust bag -lrb- part no. 1225629 -rrb- close come break in several place and the screw m6x25 -lrb- part no. 251815-0 -rrb- use in align the sand belt also come bent -lrb- due to poor packaging -rrb- . I be able to align the belt use a channel lock on the screw but I should have return the sander if it be not for the fact that I need the sander for a home project that come weekend no time to return it and get a new one in its place . I decide to order a new screw for the sander at $ 9 with shipping and a make myself a new clip for the dust bag from stuff around the house . the sander overall be a quality product but just watch out for these potential issue . this be the reason for my rating . +203 Bag POS 5 as always , I be please with my bucket boss gatemouth bag . I just wish they would make the loop hook for the carry strap a little more stout as they tend too weaken over time and pull through the canvas , cause the bad too slip off you shoulder . +666 Bag POS 4 Great Sander , powerful and remove wood fast ; rather heavy but all belt sander be heavy tool . the attach bag work well and have to be empty often . if use on fast speed sometimes it tip and will gouge the wood irreparably so one must be careful to keep it flat at all time , no matter the speed . I use it on a huge teak swim platform and do a good job ; with any other sander I would still be there sand !! not a happy thought in freezing weather !! +390 Bag POS 5 this bag be a wonderful accessory . it hold all my camera equipment and be very stylish . +417 Bag POS 5 buy this sander 1 year ago to back up my porter-cable 352v -lrb- I have since grow so tired of repair the porter-cable that the last time it need repair I just throw it away -rrb- . it run so quietly for a belt sander that the first time I use it I think the speed control be set on low -lrb- it be on high -rrb- . it be well balanced , have plenty of power , and the dust bag actually collect a lot of dust , a huge plus when I have to scribe cabinet inside a customer house . also , the shape of the sander make it easy to clamp to a workbench for sand small item , a impossibility with the Porter-Cable . +623 Bag POS 4 the messenger bag be a great bag . my 13.3 '' laptop fit perfectly and so do my Cassiopeia . only one feature be miss : a hand strap on the top . at 20 $ this be a great deal ! +433 Bag POS 5 I be a Aircraft Line Mechanic and have be for 15 year . this little bag be a replacement for the first . they last year and be of much higher quality of anything you 'll find at Sears , Home Depot , etc. . plus the price aint bad . +213 Bag POS 4 I live in NYC and have a ton of gadget , very hard to find in a regular bag . THis be pretty cool , since you kinda compartmentize everything and its convenient to find the stuff you need . +6 Bag POS 5 I want to buy something for my Canon PowerShot g3 and I find it . maybe the bag be a little bit small , but it be not that bad . it can contain the camera itself , 2-3 compactflash card and spare battery . I do not think you can find a better bag for the price . +735 Bag POS 5 the bag be everything I think it would be . it be excellent for what I need . it have plenty of room for all of my equitment and it be easy to carry . there be plenty of compartment for lens , flash attachment , battery and anything else I might need . besides that a friend of mine have one just like it and he like it very much . thank you for a great product ! +641 Bag NEG 2 do not work . most power tool dust bag do not work that well . best case be that they may capture 70 % of the saw dust . this be not even close . I have a pile of saw dust all over the floor and saw and almost none in the bag . you would be better off just put a sock or stock on the exhaust . +117 Bag POS 5 Alright , it be just a bag , but it be a great bag for the Olympus 3000 . it have room for everything I need for the camera . the camera itself , battery charger , a extra set of battery , a couple of extra media card , the accessory cord for download . all this fit into the bag very securely , without everything banging into each other , because of the pocket divider . the bag be not too bulky , rather compact with padding . the zipper function very well . the pocket design such that I do not have to worry about thing fall out . overall , a very good bag to take along with the camera and recharge supplies . +372 Bag POS 5 after have attend the 2000 Belmont stake with my Canon Elph lt camera and get good , but very distant look photo , I decide I need a good zoom lens camera for my next trip . after some search , I have come across the Minolta Freedom Zoom 160 . at the time I have purchase it , it have the longest zoom lens available in my budget . I take it with I to the 2002 Belmont stake and I be amaze at my final result ! I have take 75 photo -lrb- about 10 have come out blurry , but mainly because my hand be shake and no fault to the camera -rrb- , and they come out very crisp , clear and vibrant . I suggest that anyone who use this camera get they photo make onto a photo cd , because that where the camera 's detail really stick out . Photograph example available : -lrb- website -rrb- +770 Bag POS 5 I buy this cord bag with the jumper cable and it be a very good buy . there be enough space for a big flash light , glove , rag and some small tool . the material be very good and yet not heavy or bulky . highly recommend this bag instead of put stuff in plastic bag . the small pocket be very good for map . +271 Bag POS 5 I think that this be a great bag for the price . I have a d90 , the kit zoom lens , a nikon55-300mm ed , a sb700 , and quite a few small accessory in this bag . it be a snug fit , but I do not have any trouble close the bag , and if I add much more stuff it would be too heavy to carry around all day any way . the strap be very comfortable , and I like the front flap system . I can fit battery , some other junk , and even a pocket camcorder . I be not really sure why some people would write critical review of this bag due to it be size . it be a small bag , and sell as such . if you need a bigger bag , just buy a bigger bag . would you write a critical review of a pair of size 9 shoe for be to small because you wear size 10 ? +212 Bag POS 4 I have several of these for hold screw and other hardware . one be just for drywall screw of different length -lrb- which I write on the outside of the bag -rrb- . I can put 10-20 pound of screw in the bag , and it still fit into a 5 gallon bucket . I can do the same with a bag of outdoor -lrb- coated -rrb- screw , and another for pneumatic nail , brad and staple , and a final bag for nail . when I go to a job , I just put the bucket in the back of the truck and I know I have all the hardware I 'll likely need . when I be in the shop , I just keep the bag on my desk\/bench . the only negative be that the nylon be a little thin , and I do not think they 'll last as long as if it be canvas or a thicker nylon . +567 Bag POS 5 I buy this for a customer who want this specific bag and could not find it anywhere . it be no longer make by the manufacturer , so be very hard to find . the supplier here get it to I in perfect condition and with fast shipping . they may not have this item anymore but they have many other to replace it and they have fabulous work ethic and will go far in business . check they out even if they can not get this particular item for you . they will make it worth you while . +679 Bag POS 4 product be exactly as it seem . good build quality . nice look product .

I just order a second one to hold my 4.5 '' angle grinder . the shape be perfect for storage without remove the handle and the outside pocket stow disc perfectly . this be a much better solution -lrb- for either tool -rrb- than the hard case or the contractor bag . +797 Bag POS 5 I buy this bag specifically to enter my first pro game stadium at Qwest Field in Seattle because of they bag size restriction . it hold everything and more . it hold my Sony alpha 300 with stock lens , telephoto lens , Sony Cybershot , waterproof case for Cybershot , wide angle , extra battery , filter , memory card and my hd camcorder which I leave at the hotel since the stadium do not allow video recording . oh yeah and a microfiber hand towel . I also take it out in Portland during a steady drizzle of rain and my equipment be not even touch . I think the bag do come with a rain cover but it do not - no biggie as I do not intend to carry it out in the rain anyways . it do get a tad heavy if you load it up and I wish it be juuust a bit contoured so when you have it on you hip it do not sit so awkwardly but overall it be a great bag if you intention be to carry all you gear . +738 Bag POS 5 the size of the bag be perfect to stash the common tool that a condo\/apartment\/dorm dweller would need -lrb- like a hammer , lock tape measure , utility knife , flashlight , multiheaded screwdriver , etc. -rrb- as well as the plastic organizer box for all those nail , screw , and bolt . this bag would also be useful for carry around computer stuff like cable , router , external hd 's , joystick , little speaker , etc. . my expectation be more than exceed when I get this bag . it be have a nice sturdy feel and load of interior pocket to help organize you stuff . the top of the bag be zippered and the bag 's wide mouth have a nice interior prop mechanism sewn in that allow the bag to stay fully open effortlessly -lrb- like a open box -rrb- . the shoulder strap be also handy if you expect to lug this thing around pack with heavy item . +884 Bag POS 4 for the cost of this bag , you be not go to get a dustless system . it certainly do not collect all sawdust , but it catch a good part of it . I find after a few dozen cut the bag fill up , but there be plenty more dust under and all around the saw base . but what the bag catch be that much less for I to vacuum , so I be happy with that . the problem lie more with the Bosch tablesaw , which do not direct all the dust down the chute - for that to happen , the saw would need a major redesign . the current design simply have a channel under the blade lead to the chute in back , but it be open , so the spin blade kick dust in every direction , not just down the channel and chute . I find that the blade I be use make some difference too - a 40-tooth blade send more dust down the chute and into the bag than a 80-tooth blade . the latter probably make finer dust , more prone to be scatter . +710 Bag POS 5 I just want to write about this bag , even though I do not pay for it , get it as a gift for my birthday . fantastic . I use it for my digital and my regular camera . it have a great separator in the middle -lrb- not one of those cheap velcro deal -rrb- , and enough pocket to keep filter , film , media card and everything else secure and organize . +473 Bag POS 5 this tool bag DEWALT D6050 17-Inch Ballistic Nylon Tool Bag the factory supply storage box be find to be low quality when compare to the cost of this combo set . also , try to put all tool back into the storage container and be able to close it be next to impossible . all tool fit nicely in this tool bag , and , be very easily put back in and completely close when finish these tool . +314 Bag POS 5 that be it . i be happy with it . it do not carry itself , but it be a nice bag . +699 Bag POS 5 this be versatile pouch for a small to medium-size digital still or compact video camera - plus -lrb- depend on the size of the camera -rrb- room for extra memory , battery and accessory . a adjustable divider and lot of pocket keep equipment well-organized . -lrb- Perfect for my Panasonic Lumix fz1 , while the rest of the stuff stay home on a day trip . -rrb- all Weather Cover : built-in cover that protect you gear from dust , rain or snow . adjustable Divider : customize the interior for a variety of need . brush Tricot Lining : soft material that will not scratch lcd view screen .

I currently have a Nikon Coolpix 800 digital camera and it fit perfectly . the case be a great size because it be not to small where it can not hold anything and not to big where it be a nusiance to lag around . another good thing be the ability for the case to attatch to a belt . the soft inside of the case offer superb protection with the gentleness not to damage the camera 's lcd . it also have two laminated pocket which be perfect for hold extra memory card . the divider be great for create a perfectly size spot for you camera seperates\/and allow access to the extra space to store all the accessory for you camera . my personal favorite feature be that the case be zipper to prevent anyone from steal you camera . a beautifully craft camera case at a terrific price . +914 Bag NEG 2 this bag have enough space for still , video camera , a small compact tripod , power charge cord and all other cord , minus dv . however the outer look and quality of the bag be same as any other bag which you can buy under $ 10 .

Lowepro always make great quality product and even offer warranty on some of they . Hope I be helpful +199 Bag NEG 2 I purchase this Makita 9403 belt sander in order to sand down a redwood deck that have be paint with latex that be now peel in many area . I soon notice that the dust collection bag be not collect very much dust . when I remove the cover on the sander for the dust passage I find the passage quarter very narrow and plug with sand debris . connect a powerful shop vacuum to the sander dust tube -lrb- bag remove -rrb- while sand also prove to be futile as the vacuum be not powerful enough to unplug the debris in the passageway . soon after I start sand I notice deposit build up on both roller . the deposit be under the sand belt and mainly on the front metal roller . the deposit form in tenacious clump as high as 3\/16 '' . I have to chisel they off the roller and use lacquer thinner to remove some of they . as the lump gather on the roller the belt would move laterally against the frame and disintegrate . to avoid belt disintegration one have to frequently stop the sander , remove the belt and chisel off the deposit . this get old very fast as it seem I be devote more time to sander maintenance than I be to sand . I finally put the Makita aside and dig out of the garage a Craftsman `` commercial grade '' 4x24 belt sander I purchase at least 20 year ago . it may or may not have be make for Sears by Porter Cable . the Sears sander be a dream compare to the Makita .

Big enough for a 25 foot set of Coleman 4-gauge cable . a external pocket for other item . would also work great around the shop for compressor hose . a good value , especially with the freebie mug boss . +432 Bag POS 4 I really like my mutt mitt a lot . my only issue be that they be not quite long enough to tie easily . the less I have to handle the dog poop bag , the better . and , I find try they take a little too much manipulation . +807 Bag NEU 3 the bag seem to be design nicely in term of compartment and layout , but it be sloppily sewn and be by no means pad . this may not be a issue for many folk . i break out the needle and thread -lrb- and fabric glue for the hard to resew cell phone belt loop\/bag strap fabric -rrb- and I hope all remain well . I be 6 ' 2 '' and weigh in at 280 lb. , and the strap be barely big enough for I to use . this bag be a perfect fit for the size notebook I like to take note in - as a writer , it seem like it will work well for I as part of a `` bag within a bag '' setup where the RakGear Bakku Messenger Bag be nestled inside a larger bag that carry digital camera\/dv cam , pda accessory , mic , md recorder , file folder , executive legal pad et cetera - I 'll make the RakGear bag hold the essential for those time when I have to go in `` light '' . I dunno - I be in a bag theory quandary . Works well for Handspring Visor accessory too . maybe a couple O'Reilly Pocket Reference book or City Lights pocket poetry book . when I add my md , cd and\/or mp3 player , and I feel like I be push the limit of safe usability - mostly because of the lack of padding . on-line , lot of people seem to like this bag - maybe I be on the search for the holy -lrb- small gadget -rrb- technology bag of all time , but I be not sure if I 'll buy more product from Targus . it 'll come down to how vulnerable I feel that my Palm OS PDA and my md player be in this non-padded bag . another very important factor will be how well the stitch stay stitch - I be not too confident on this front , consider the restitching I have have to do already . the bag look good on-line , get great review , I just feel let down once I handle the product ... maybe I 'll be surprise with further usage . the bottom-line be that this bag be now in clearance . I get mine as gift . at ... or less , this bag be a must have , even if just to satisfy a bag-lust . work for I . maybe I 'll be able to comment on durability and lack of padding after extend use . probably no need to bother . Hope this review be helpful . +713 Bag POS 5 hold the camera , four spare battery and Smart Media card -lrb- s -rrb- . do not look goofy or bulky . +264 Bag POS 4 this sander have plenty of power for its size , and the vacuum bag actually suck up quite a bit of the dust without spray it right back in you face . track be decent and the fact that the right side and top be flat and ready to be clamp down to any available surface make it great for occasional bench sanding . what I do not like be how off-balance it be -- it really like to roll toward the leave on account of the motor 's weight and it be pretty hard to tell whether or not you be hold it level until it be too late . compound this problem with the fact that the optional sand shoe\/frame be both $ 114 extra and discontinued and you have get some pretty heavy con . I make my own frame out of 3\/4 '' mdf , but it be obviously pretty heavy and not especially durable . I also have a problem with the placement of the speed adjustment knob -- it get coated in dust almost instantly and become impossible to read without a shot of compress air . I worry about how long it will last before the potentiometer fizzle out . there seem to be a awful lot of review of belt sander from all manufacturer where customer complain about Amazon ship they a use unit as new . I too suspect this have happen to I upon open the box as mine be cover in what appear to be sawdust . a closer inspection however reveal that this be in fact just cardboard that have get sand by the belt as the unit be throw around during shipping . no harm , no foul . if you plan on do a lot of leveling , I would consider the DeWalt as you can pick up they frame just about anywhere . otherwise , there be quite a bit of bang for you buck here . it look boxy and awkward , but those bad look really add to the versatility of the machine . UPDATE : just talk to Makita on the phone and they confirm that the sand shoe accessory be no longer be make by anyone and they have no plan to design or produce a replacement model . Boo . +742 Bag NEG 2 it so happen that I purchase several accessory to the Bosch Table see Bosch 4100-09 10-Inch Worksite Table see with Gravity-Rise stand the reason for do so -- yes , I admit it be rather warped logic , if even logic at all -- be that once I have all those accessory , I just would feel force to buy the new saw . you can see the duality , right ? part of I want that saw bad , and part of I do not want to spend the money . anyway , once I purchase the saw -lrb- see my review elsewhere on Amazon.com -rrb- , I install the dust collector bag and start use it . before too long it develop a tear that grow increasingly larger . because this saw be advertise as be a contractor 's tool , then it should be of a quality to support that . not just the saw , but its accessory should be , too . a heavier gauge fabric or a different material altogether for this bag would have be appropriate . sorry Bosch , I be not impressed . +350 Bag POS 5 it have be say in a couple of review now but people need to understand this be a new version of the bag -lrb- mine ship September 2011 -rrb- and it do have a zipper to empty it out on the bottom . the material be similar to the material on the bag for my bosch planer and it have hold up fine for a while now . it do a great job catch the dust that go through the dust port , of course you will still get dust from other part of the table saw , but versus no bag \/ vacuum it be a huge improvement and for the price I would recommend it to anyone . it be a 5 star product . +456 Bag NEG 2 for what be be , it work well . bag will clog if cut wet material . bag lay on ground , so if ground be wet , it be a mess . there be no suction , so sawdust still come up from blade , therefore material will get sawdust on it , therefore sawdust will get on the ground . I do not know where to store this thing , so now when I need it , I be look all over the place for it . 2 1\/2 '' shop vac hose slide right onto saw . it be the better choice . I use a foot switch christmas tree extension cord so I can turn vacum on and off with ease . +924 Bag POS 4 the product be exactly as discribed , but i realize my hop vac fit there too -lrb- nice job Bosch -rrb- . so I have never use the bag . if you do not have a standard shop vac , well worth the money to help keep thing clean . +792 Bag POS 4 it be a shame they do not show picture of the inside of this bag . the top open up and then the front zip down to reveal 3 mesh pocket mean for flashcard , floppy disk , and cable . actually , I use mine for a camera\/binocular set I be give . the point-and-shoot camera and compact binoculars fit in the main compartment easily together with the divider . the mesh pocket do not hold bulky item , but it be good enough for a roll of file and a simple camera cleaning kit . so I have the basics ready for travel in one small bag . i even buy another one for a personal 2 '' tv . the tv and its ac adapter be in the main compartment with a small pair of headphone in the front . I initially want to get this bag for my digital camera and accessory . but with a camera , battery charger , ac adapter , and three cable , it be just too much to fit inside this bag ; I get a small camcorder bag instead . so this camera bag be great , but do not expect the pocket up front to hold much . +931 Bag POS 4 this camera case from Samsonite be one of the best camera case for digital camera or slr camera . it be lightweight , sturdy , and waterproof . the pouch be not too big , so you plan on stuff all kind of accessory , think again . the inside major compartment be also not too big . but for a simple , reliable case to safely house you camera , this be a excellent case . +468 Bag POS 4 this bag do exactly what I expect . it be skinnier than I have imagine , but collect most of the saw dust . specifically , it negate all the dust fly around my garage . it definitely do not catch all the dust , but I think that be more a function of the table saw than the bag . Premium dust collector have some sort of vaccuum suction to pull the dust . this bag rely on the blow out from the saw . the miss dust fall directly under the saw . I think most people will be happy with the bag . those that will not be happy be the hardcore craftsman and someone expect zero dust . +971 Bag POS 5 sanded lot of beam with this and work like a champ . quiet and smooth running . recommend ! +495 Bag NEU 3 this bag hold point and shoot camera pretty well . my olympus camera fit pretty well . no thing too fancy . +463 Bag NEG 1 it be a nice bag but no support for the bottom . I use to use it at work but not no more . if they make the bottom ridged it would be a 5 star . +621 Bag NEU 3 the E-10 will not fit without bulge the top of the bag . there be about enough space for the equivalent of 4-6 aa battery behind padded partition on each side of the lens . there be also a small zippered front pouch . the top be secure by a double zipper , a overlap 1-inch rain flap around all three side , and a large front flap with a snap buckle . all combine to make it rain resistent , but difficult to get into easily . do not close well with only the snap buckle for temporary use . all in all , this be not a very convenient bag to use . it be well-constructed and sturdy . +110 Bag POS 5 the basic design of this tool be genius . it can be hold in one hand , set upside down on a table to use as a sand belt . I have be use this model since the mid 80 's for finish construction and cabinet making . this be my third one . I do not think that I could ever go back to the other style of belt sander . Bosch 1274dv 6.6 amp 3-inch by 21-inch variable speed In-Line Belt Sander with Cloth dust bag +154 Bag POS 4 Works good collect my dust and easy to empty . only complaint be it do not fit other saw the opening on the bag in much larger than a standard dust port . if you keep that in mind it be great dust bag . +93 Bag POS 5 my Coleman Cable 08862 25-foot Ultra-Heavy-Duty Truck and Auto Battery Booster Cables , 2-gauge I 'll admit it , it be a snug fit and you have to roll up you cable nice and neat to get they to fit and there be not much room leave over . there be zero room leave over with large jumper cable in the bag . the only thing I have in there be the jumper cable and a laminated large print 8.5 x11 instruction sheet on how to use they . that say , if you can get my 25 foot , 2gauge jumper cable into this bag , you can probably fit almost any other set of jumper cable into this bag . the bag be well construct , with nice zipper and good sturdy handle . it really make lug around jumper cable a tidy affair . I highly recommend you have a bag like this for you jumper cable , particularly if you cable be large for a variety of reason : a -rrb- keep they neat b -rrb- make more room for other stuff c -rrb- keep the insulation of cable from get rough up d -rrb- one tidy package if you need to grab it and walk I can not find many con to this bag . it be nice and the price be right too ! +357 Bag POS 4 I buy this to replace one that get steal on new year 's day . ca not live without it . I have to have another . could it be better ? yes , but that could be say of just about anything . however , I can get all my brush into this , my 2-4 pole , caulk gun , masker , knee-pad , nail , hammer , punch , mask , extra cartridge , a full sleeve of tape , four screwdriver , scraper , and still have room . imho this be the best toolbag for painter on the market . the only thing I can not get into this bag be cut-pots and a 5 gal . bucket with grid and frame . but hey , if it be that big , I would not be able to lift it . all in all , I be very glad I buy this tool bag . +50 Bag NEG 2 I be surprise when this arrive completely empty . I read the description as Cable and tool bag , think that I be get cable and tool in a bag . no - just the bag . a bit overpriced for just a bag . +929 Bag POS 5 I recently purchase the Makita 9403 after much contemplation . my concern be the price verse other belt sander . ultimately I find a good deal on the 9403 online which make it only 30 dollar or so more than comparable model by dewalt , porter cable , etc. . I feel the extra money be worth the extra amp in power -lrb- about 4 -rrb- . I be surprise at the weight of the machine , the quietness , and overall power . I test it on some rough-cut cedar scrap I have lie around . in only a couple of seconds it have it completely smooth . it would have take my old Black and Decker a couple of minute to do what the makita do in only a few seconds . my only complaint be that it do not come with a carry case for storage like almost all other good power tool you buy these day . and , in reality it be too much sander for a lot of job . more power be not always the answer , but if you need it , this sander deliver . +547 Bag POS 5 we keep this bag with jumper cable , basic emergency tool , a flashlight , a emergency blanket and a first aid kit in all we vehicle . the inner pocket allow organization and help to keep stuff from rattle around . no trunk should be without one . +448 Bag POS 5 Guy at work have one & really like how many tool it hold for it be size . I love it so buy one myself . great bag for masonry tool +1 Bag POS 4 what a great bag ! I have a few quibble ; as note , the inside pocket be a bit tight . the zipper tab do not seem to match the heft of the zipper . the exterior pocket flap should be a bit wider\/broader to cover the pocket and the gatemouth design seem to balk if you stuff the bag . all minor . well construct overall and every bit worth the price . a reasonably lightweight bag that hold a decent amount - of course , you 'll cram more into it than you can comfortably carry . because it be a medium\/long bag you have to balance the load - otherwise it dip - and why no shoulder pad ? I personally would not recommend the recip see w\/blade in the bag . I once trip and land on a nylon bag w \/ a jigsaw - blade in thigh - ouch ! no more . blade off all saw -lrb- except circular -rrb- and hard case for transport . I like this bag a lot . +35 Bag POS 4 I need a bag for my Olympus e-300 with the lens kit . and this bag do its job quite good ... they be protective and it be get few pocket around which be quite useful . I just wish if the height be lil more . with this bag I can only have both the wideangle & telephoto lens if the wideangle be fit on to the camera -lrb- not the telephoto lens -rrb- . +424 Bag POS 4 pleased with size - quality be good - price seem a little high . Wish it have a shoulder strap and zipper lock - bottom could be stronger - top could open a little wider - outside pouch could be larger . +100 Bag NEG 2 I be hope for something that would hold the jumper cable compactly , but this bag be much bigger than need be . and it do not look like the picture . I think I 'll return it for those reason . +450 Bag POS 4 its a good tool bag . better than anything that I have buy at Home Depot or Lowes . we use these in my company for field engineering work , cary tape , camera , etc. . nice look as I visit client and travel with it . +571 Bag POS 5 a very good deal for the money . there be more than enough space which can hold a array of accessory . the feature that impress I the most be the slot for memory card and battery which can be access most comfortably . +168 Bag NEU 3 this product meet my expectation except i expect to find a cable inside . `` Bucket Boss Brand 06100 Cable and Tool Bag '' this somehow imply to I that `` Cable and '' that there be e cable with the bag ... I would have never purchase it if I have know there be no cable . +717 Bag POS 5 this be a very solid and sturdy sander . I use it to sand a butcher block counter that I have cut in half -lrb- thickness -rrb- from a huge butcher block . start with 24grit and end with 150grit , it really do a number . very powerful ... you have to really hold on . I even rig the dust catcher to my shop vac . . very nice . +875 Bag POS 5 I purchase this camera bag for a larger digital camera . while there be plenty of room for my camera and all of its accessory , the bag be not overly large or awkward . the bag be sturdy and its compartment be laid-out logically . +396 Bag POS 5 I have have my Bucket Boss for about 2 or 3 year . this be one tough tool bag and have a very strong zipper . I think there be some different size available but this one be just the right size for my use . +550 Bag NEG 1 I be really excite when I first get this bag , but since have grow to hate it . I have a Dell laptop , relatively light weight and I carry my computer in this bag at all time . but it have terrible weight distribution ! in fact , my shoulder be hurt so much after one flight that I check my laptop in my luggage to avoid use this bag . poorly design ! do not buy this bag if you plan to carry you laptop . it just be not design properly for it ! I now have the latest Eddie Bauer bag and be very pleased . anyone want a slightly use Amazon bag ? -lrb- ha ha -rrb- . +893 Bag POS 4 receive this bag to go along with my Olympus c-4000 . it be quite a nice bag , relatively compact and easily fit my c-4000 with plenty of protection offereed by the wall of the case and padded divider . there be plenty of room leave for cable , a flash or even another camera if you have get one . a mesh pouch on the inside of the main compartment flap offer a handy place to store my sm card . on the other side , another component offer 4 elastic loop for battery , and 2 mesh pouch -lrb- 1 zippered -rrb- for store more battery or whatever else you might have . I can easily store 3 set of 4 aa battery in here , with plenty of room for more sm card . and to top it all off , a zippered side pouch for another place to put stuff -lrb- nothing too thick though -rrb- . there be a adjustable carry strap that you can use to sling over you shoulder , plus handle on the top and side , so there be plenty of way to grab onto the bag . the only think I do not like about this bag be that mine do not seem to want to stand up . it always end up roll over onto its back . this however be a pretty minor thing . +927 Bag POS 4 I be a graduate student with a daily commute on a train , and Ihave find this bag really useful to schlepp a lot of different-sizedcrap -- book , water bottle , apple , usual girl paraphernalia , book , notebook , pen , etc. . I have never carry both my laptop and book at the same time , but I think it would be possible without break my back . the padded laptop `` envelope '' be definitely the best feature . most of the time , however , I use it to keep my small stuff from roam around the bag . contrary to Eddie 's review , this \* be \* a comfortable bag if you carry it on you shoulder . it be too big to carry with you hand unless you be Wilt Chamberlin-sized or just have really short arm . -lrb- the strap be not pad , but somehow they seem to work just fine . -rrb- it be also slightly more staid-looking than the picture would lead you to believe . the bag seem durable , but I would not predict more than a 3-5 year lifespan . I tend to change bag frequently -- always look for the perfect book bag that will solve all of my problem -- and have be really happy with it . I would highly recommend it -- and not just because it have a spiffy Amazon.com logo on it . +553 Bag NEU 3 product seem to work fine , however I would like the item to be exactly like the picture . the one that be send to I have a cheap look bag attach which do not look like the picture . it do not have the black support or even Bosch write on it anywhere . -lrb- say cheap generic bag if that be what you be go to include with the product -rrb- +973 Bag POS 5 like the durability of the bag , BOUGHT A YEAR AGO ACTUALLY and HAVE USED IT ALOT , just now review it . have stand up to lot of wear and tear without give out . a good OVERALL CAMCORDER BAG for OUTDOORS and travel . +138 Bag POS 5 the bag 's very , very nice and absolutely great for biking around with . these messenger bag be much better than backpack because they do not put any direct weight on you spine when you be biking . great feature of the Amazon.com bag : a waist strap prevent slippage , a comfy shoulder pad , plenty to room for all you stuff without be too bulky , a pocket for cellphone\/pens , a really nifty internal laptop compartment which you can also use to store file , a external net pocket to stash a water bottle or any other small item , and nice safety feature - 2 reflective strip and a loop for you safety blinker light . a word of caution about the two reflective safety strip . Becasue they be secure by detachable clip , do be careful when fiddle to open or close the bag - you may indavertantly unfasten the wrong clip and lose the reflective strip . to ensure that this do not happen you could tape up these clip . aside from this minor point , this be a great bag . get it ! +409 Bag NEU 3 the case be well-padded , but bulky and a bit loose fitting for a Canon a610 . its size make use the belt loop impractical , it be just too big . the four interior compartment be a bit excessive ; other than a camera pouch there only need to be one other pocket to hold battery , a lens cloth , and a sd card . this thing 's just so boxy that you can only really carry it as a full-blown tourist with a strap around you neck , or pack into some check-on luggage . it 'll undoubtedly withstand tall drop and poor baggage handler , along with wet weather thanks to its nylon cover , but it be overkill for most typical camera environment . remove the camera from the case be also annoying because of the long zipper path ; likely you 'll end up with camera in hand most of the time , lest the zipper cause a miss photo opportunity . this seem like a fine case for the ultimate camera protection , but for most casual photographer too much of a hassle for routine use . +471 Bag NEU 3 I get the Gatemouth bag as a gift from my son two year ago . the bag look great , have lot of pocket and sure seem strong . I use it to carry emergency tool in the truck of the car . I have not overload the bag . I be very disappointed when the stitch on one entire end panal fail and the bag literally fall apart . I have try to find warranty info or company contact for this item but have not be able to find anything . the company be owner by Fiskars but I find no support for the Bucket Boss line on they web site . there be a possibility that I have a bad bag . I like the bag so much while it function that I be order a replacement . I hope this be just a fluke . the design sure seem just what I need . the company really should stand behind the product though . caveat emptor I guess . . +689 Bag POS 5 I purchase this bag for my Sony dsc-s70 . it be a great case for large\/awkward-shaped digtial camera . it hold two memory stick and a extra battery . the inside be line with a soft , felt-like material with do not scratch the lcd display . there be plenty of padding . on the bottom of this bag , there be a hide-away waterproof hood that cover the entire bag . +982 Bag NEU 3 this be a great quality bag with lot of storage , but if all you want be a simple bag to hold a single camera then it be probably not the bag for you . there be so much interior space that most digital camera would just bounce around . I be use it as a purse ; it hold my battery charger , fujus 4700 , wallet , charger cable , sunglass , cell phone and additional memory card and disk well , but I 'll get another smaller bag for when I only want my camera . unless you have get a huge camera or a million accessory I recommend a smaller bag . +896 Bag POS 5 I purchase the BucketBoss Gatemouth bag at Sears several year ago because they be discontinue they . I think it be around $ 20 . I be immediately impress with the design and construction of the product . when I first purchase the bag I be not sure what I would use it for but it do not take long for I to find out . I have often wish I would buy more than one because they be so rugged and useful for many thing . I always wish I would get one for my Uncle in Oregon . he be a bus driver in Eugene and often take he camera 's with he on he bus route . this bag would hold several camera , lunch , spare clothing , emergency equipment , cell phone , etc. , etc. and still be quite compact and easy to carry . I primarily use mine to take stuff to the boat that I do not want to leave there . I keep it load with my camera , boat key , first aid supplies and personal toiletries . I add thing like my wallet , cell phone , food item , tool , shoe and spare clothing that I may need . the many pocket help keep all these thing organize and my phone easily slide into or clip onto one of the many pocket on the outside where I can get to it easily . not only be this bag very functional , it be also very attractive and could proudly be take on a plane trip as a carry on . I alsmost guarantee someone would ask where you get it before the trip be over . I be buy at least one more for a gift and would surely buy another for myself if I think the one I have would ever wear out . I tell my son a couple of year ago how much I love this bag and that someday it would be he . I have use it for about 4 or 5 year and it still look and function like the day i buy it . I highly reccomend this bag to anyone look for a tough and all around useful bag for cary tool or anything else . +63 Bag POS 5 I be a serious amateur photographer and need a base camp for all of my photography goody . this bag allow I to keep everything together and I pull from there whatever I need for whatever shoot I plan on do that day . it have ton of pocket and all of my 5 lens , filter , and lot of other stuff fit in there nicely . it close quite securely and be well padded . love it . +510 Bag NEG 2 I purchase this bag for my Kodak Easy Share 4330 digital camera . I think the bag be go to be a lot smaller than what I receive . I already have the Kodak travel kit so I do not need another big bag and this bag be too big just for the camera . +615 Bag NEG 1 beware ! the item ship be not that which be picture . the `` GateMouth '' bag be a great bag which open from the top with two pivot point , create a wide mouth opening , hence the name GateMouth . however , the item ship be the less expensive -lrb- generally sell for $ 22.50 -rrb- side opening bag . not a good thing to do , substitute a cheaper product that do not even look like the picture ! +996 Bag NEU 3 I buy this along with a pair of jumper cable -lrb- fall for the old `` customer who view you item also buy '' trick -rrb- . the bag be nice enough , but realistically not worth the price . I do not understand why everyone give this 5 star . if I be walk through a physical store and see this on the shelf for $ 7.99 , there be not a chance I would have buy it . for the $ 12.79 price on Amazon and the extremely high review , I figure this would be very thick canvas -lrb- unbreakable ? -rrb- . instead , this have the feel that you could rip it apart with you bare hand if you really want to . oh well , nice enough , I guess . +531 Bag POS 4 this be a great item . however , I find it a bit small in diameter for a set of serious cable . +277 Bag POS 4 THIS CAMERA case be AWESOME , BY far one of the finest case I have ever see . if you do NOT PURCHASE this bag you be miss out on a experience of a lifetime . NOT ONLY be the bag SMALL BUT IT CAN AMAZINGLY FIT more PENNIES in IT THAN IT WOULD COST to PURCHASE IT . +536 Bag POS 5 the interior of Lowepro D-Res 10 AW be make of soft fabric that form a thick cushion to protect digital camera . the exterior be strong and durable . the hidden jacket at the bottom of the bag could be pull out to cover the bag for water-proof purpose . its easy attachment to the belt do not require take off of the belt in order to mount the bag on the waist . as of the size , it fit a Canon s20 perfectly with a side slot that hold up to 2 li-ion battery and a front pocket that hold one cf card . bottom line : I feel safe to put my digital camera in this bag . +752 Bag NEU 3 I buy it for my canon g5 , it be good , simple , but much expensive compare with other similiar product -lrb- e.g. samsonite -rrb- . the AW cover be not very useful . +246 Bag POS 5 this bag be probably a medium size , where I be expect a larger one . I suppose that be my fault though for not actually review the measurement more carefully . it hold a decent amount of thing , but if you be look for a large tool bag , this be not the one ... my advice would be to pay close attention to the measurement . other than that , it be a good solid bag and my fiance already have he load with tool . +688 Bag POS 5 I purchase this case to carry my Olympus 2020 . the newer Olympus 3030 and 3000 should fit nicely too . I debate buy a smaller bag which would fit the camera only , but the extra room have come in handy . I have a compact pair of binoculars and these fit snugly along with the camera in the main compartment . in the zip down front I store the manual , the remote , a extra memory card and a cable to connect to a tv . at family event it be great to see the picture on tv right away . the case be well make , but it be not genuine leather , although it be hard to tell the difference . you can put you belt through the slot on the back , but it be somewhat bulky to carry this way . I prefer to use the shoulder strap . all in all a excellent product . edit on 11\/10\/02 : Case Logic have change the design of this bag without change the model number . I own the older horizontal version , not the bag picture which have more of a vertical shape . Case Logic should have use a new model number when they update the bag . +506 Bag POS 5 hold a reserve map , ice scraper , and jumper cable . do it job and do it well . +398 Bag POS 5 I purchase this so that I could put the most commonly use tool I have in one easy to pick up and go container . Works like a charm . I want to buy another Bucket Boss , so that I can store all my most frequently use part -lrb- screw , razor blade , nut , bolt , etc. -rrb- +161 Bag POS 5 I be very pleased with this purchase . it catch about 90 % of the dust , so it make clean up after use the saw much easier . and there be not as much airborne dust to inhale , which be of great value to I . +947 Bag POS 5 I 'll be honest , this be my first belt sander , but I love it . I take the recommendation of some of the other reviewer , and I could not agree more . the sander be easy to use out of the box , and be a smooth-running , well-designed tool . the variable speed switch be very nice , and add considerably to the user 's control . I have not yet do any heavy duty sanding , but for finish work the dust collection seem to work well . five star for Bosch on this one . +413 Bag NEG 2 I store my ace 250 in this carry bag . I find it to be very cramped . the bag have very little room to spare . the zipper be poor quality and break within a year of own the bag .

I use mine to carry my Canon rebel xsus with kit lens and 55-250 or 50 1.8 , but not all three . I can however , barely fit a small extra lens and flash -lrb- 430 exius -rrb- but the bag become hard to close , and I would not recommend it . never really have to use it , but I like the idea of have the all weather cover in case I be catch in a down poor . +556 Bag NEG 1 I buy a 1274dv a few year ago . as I have find with other Bosch tool they be hit or miss . you might get lucky . you might get a lemon . my sander be worthless . I get about 2-3 hour use out of it . the paper will not stay on no matter how much time I or anyone else devote to try to solve the problem . I replace it with a Dewalt . I keep the bosch on a pile of junk in my shop to remind I of the problem I have have with Bosch tool . +4 Bag POS 5 I buy this for my camcorder awhile back and it be a pretty decent bag . it be sturdy and it hold everything I need . it be decent bag if you travel light however if you be look for a bag that fit all you camcorder equipment -lrb- if you intend use for the bag be a carry case -rrb- then you be better off get something else . +921 Bag POS 5 the great advantage of this bag be that the entire top unzip -lrb- it be actually a double run zipper which give you a wide storage space while everything stay in place -rrb- . it be great for my movie camera so I get another one for my digital still camera . I can keep 20 minus cd plus mark pen , extra battery and charger , and my bulky but essential viewing hood . when the bag open you can see everything , place everything , and when it close everything stay in place . after a year I have decide the design be probably the most convienent I have use in 30 yr . +444 Bag NEG 1 although they say this be the best camera bag to use with the Pentax IQ200 , the camera fit into the bag but be very difficult to remove when you want to take a picture . the bag itself would be fine with a normal point and shoot camera but not one where there be any type of lens on the front . +981 Bag POS 5 purchase this for my son to keep in he truck under the seat . it arrive quickly and look just like the picture . very happy ! +354 Bag POS 4 this tool last only 5 hour before break . the current project be 250 sf of hardwoord flooring in my own house , with another 350 sf to follow . the wood be mill austrialian brushbox , which have above average hardness but probably softer than oak . I decide rent and use a commercial floor sander be too risky , and that a hand hold could get the job do . my 15 year old Black & Decker -lrb- 3x21 , 3.4 amp , hot , noisey , no dust removal , no switch lock -rrb- would bog down with 120 grit at a slow rate of coverage and require frequent vacuuming . so I upgrade to the Bosch 1274dv -lrb- 3x21 , 6.6 amp , quieter , 1-1\/4 dust port -rrb- , gamble that the size and power could spin 80 grit at a reasonable rate of coverage . the other rave review about the ergonomics be true . get a dust port be fantastic in that , when hook up to a medium size shop vac , almost no dust be put into the air or leave on the floor during sand . the machine remain cool under continuous duty and the switch lock allow you hand and finger to relax . I still need headphone with both the sander and the shop vac go . as for muscle , I can report that Bosch 's 6.6 amp be good enough for dyi'er to make two pass -lrb- 250sf , 80 & 120 grit -rrb- in about 6 hour . unfortunately , the tool do not last that long . about 3 hour in , I have a power cord accident , something that never occur in 15 yr with the B&D; . the cord be sweep into the slot behind the rear roller . the motor be scream , the cord be fly around , the machine be twist out of my grip . it take about 8 seconds to get control of the machine and figure out how to unlock the power switch . during this time I be wonder whether I will get this thing shut off before I get electrocute as it gnaw through the cord . unfortunately I be kill . no , just kid . cord extraction require some strong tug and a large screw driver to pry away pressure from the roller . the tough rubber cord survive and be in acceptable condition . I then do what anyone would do -lrb- with the exception of a Bosch engineer -rrb- , wonder why they could not make the slot just a little smaller or the cord just a little thicker . much later I find the user manual warn `` the cord can be drag into belt housing and become entangled with the pulley . '' nice . so the machine go back into service , only with a thump-thump-thump . after two more hour , I notice the power drive be start to slip unacceptably . I take the tool apart , look for some kind of clutch mechanism in the gear train . find a lot of german high precision and material quality , but no clutch . while reassemble the machine , I find the trouble . the rubber drive belt be miss tooth and start to wear through . Bingo . during the power cord accident , the cord jamb the drive roller but the upper drive gear continue to spin , take out tooth in the drive belt . I calculate the cost per hour of buy this tool and consider blast Bosch with a zero-star rating . instead I decide to include they service & repair organization into the total picture . log online , I find that in this metro area -lrb- Silicon Valley -rrb- they have several affilated drop off shop and one factory service\/sales center . I stop by the factory center , buy a $ 7 belt out of local stock , and install it myself . after one day of down time the machine be now back on the job and work fine . so Bosch be back up to four star , but only because they service organization and inventory save they butt . +899 Bag NEG 2 I have have some problem with my unit . first , though , the good side ... I have be use this since July , 2006 , which have give I enough experience with the machine to write a credible review . the unit be powerful , without be unmanageable . it be light enough to be able to use on vertical surface and run relatively cool and quietly ... although I find that a set of noise cancel headphone help tremendously to reduce the racket . it also be design with a nice flat top , so the sander can be turn upside down and use to -lrb- carefully ! -rrb- hand sand small part and sharpen some tool . now , the not so good stuff ... the tracking control on my unit have to be adjust all the way over to one side to prevent the belt from work it be way off the two pulley . even at that point , where the knob can not turn any more , the belt run at a ~ 5 degree angle to the chassis . the graphite wear pad do indeed wear . quickly . I go through one for every five or six belt . this may be normal or due to the mistracking ... I would be in a better position to evaluate if I have one that track correctly for comparison . I have have problem with sand dust plug the inside of the sander ; once to the point that I have to completely dissemble it to clean it out . the optional Bosch exhaust hose -lrb- vac001 -rrb- that connect the sander to a Shop-Vac be make out of very thin ridged plastic and do not pass enough air through it to keep the Shop-Vac 's motor from rev up and whining . active exhaust certainly help clear the sand dust , but , without sufficient cool air , I be concerned about the impact on my Shop-Vac 's motor life . all in all , I be rating this sander as three star . I would be happier if the local Bosch repair shop tell I that the tracking be abnormal , but they say that it be ok ... +490 Bag POS 4 I buy this camera for my trip to South Africa . I get some amazing shot . very crisp and clear with brilliant color . it be very quiet which be good but also pretty bad . it be hard to hear the thing wind so if you press the button and then move the camera , you picture could easily be mess up because you do not wait long enough - some of mine do unfortunately . so other than this set back , my photo come out excellent . +179 Bag POS 5 this be a extremely well-designed and well-built sander . no complaint here only praise , praise , praise ! thank you Bosch -- you sure make my life a lot better !! +795 Bag NEG 2 this be a well build product but it will just hold you camera and battery . it will not handle the cable need to support the camera or the power supply which be a must in most case . the battery do not last long enough for most outing . it be basically the size of a small hardcovered novel ! +961 Bag POS 5 I love it and my co-worker be admire it today . the price be right , it zip up on top and be just a great all around tote ! +839 Bag NEG 2 the bag be really good look . I would say it be sturdy and it would protect you jumper cable or any other tool you may want to put in . for my surprise , as soon as I put my cable inside the bag and try to close the zipper , I notice that the latter be not able to close the bag at all , as it come with a small opening on the start end , cause the zipper to open again . I be send the bag to change or fix the zipper at a local shop as I think this will be less painfull than return the item , explain and then wait for a replacement -lrb- and then , hope that it come in work condition -rrb- . +663 Bag POS 4 excellent , sturdy bag , only exist problem be that when open the double end zip to get inside the main compartment of the bag , it do not unfold totally , keep kind of fall back which be rather disturbing . the idea of the `` top '' opening from the body outwards be a great idea however . +675 Bag POS 5 Tamrac 's 5608 camera bag be well construct , make of durable material , and adaptable for various use . it be heavily pad , with a stiff solid bottom , and be large enough to carry a couple of SLR camera body , even with battery grip attach , plus a fair amount of accessory . the interior of the bag can be divide into up to eight smaller compartment . each camera body however , will take two space , so if you carry two body , there will be only four compartment remain . the bag be bout 8 '' deep , and lens , flash unit , flash meter , battery pack , and the like , can be store in these compartment . if you carry you slr unassembled , you can carry quite a lot in this bag . if you want you camera ready to shoot with a lens attach , the divider be design so that a body with a zoom lens can be place down the middle of the bag . a camera with a telephoto lens up to around 10 inch will fit in the bag . if the lens be about three inch each , two SLR 's with lens attach can be accommodate in the down the middle configuration . Whenever a camera be carry this way , you may need to arrange you thing carefully if you want to carry other gear . there be a zippered pocket with two compartment on the bottom of the bag 's cover flap , that be suitable for carry thing like filter , flash diffuser , memory card case and the like . there be a zippered drop down compartment with pocket in the front . a pouch with velcro fastener be on each side of the bag . the flap may not be likely to slip open , but carry a valuable or heavy item in these pouch might not be a good idea . they be a decent size , and be good for item that be not too fragile . on the back of the bag be a shallow zippered pocket . the bag have a padded heavy duty carry strap , and also have strap at the base for carry a tripod . if you do not use a memory card case , there be a wallet for carry digital media , battery , and other small accessory . the wallet be attach to the bag with a elastic band , and side into a compartment on the side of the bag . the wallet be about six inch smaller than the compartment , result in more space to store item if you like . the design of this bag be excellent . space be easy to access , gear be well protect , and there be capacity to conveniently carry a large amount of equipment . as with any camera bag , its ultimate usefulness depend on the user , and the particular gear to be carry . get hands-on access to different bag be not always possible , so study the photo and diagram here , or at Tamrac 's website , and make a determination if this bag have enough space for you gear . the 5608 be available in either black or blue color . in general , camera bag be expensive , and price be on the rise , so if you can afford to wait , try and get one on sale . +167 Bag NEG 2 the description say it fit `` any fully assemble Garrett metal detector '' . not true . I have a Garrett 350 with the double-d coil and it do not fit into the bag . I be not a very tall person so I do not have mine adjust to be very long . but I should not have to collapse the thing to get it to fit into a bag that be supposedly make fore it . Pretty disappointed . +308 Bag POS 5 I have the Kodak DC 3400 camera - and this carry case be perfect for it . this case be compact - but yet large enough to take everything along that I need : extra battery , pc cable , the camera 's manual and cd disk , and a Kodak AA battery charger . it work so well with the dc 3400 , it be almost as if it be make for it . good case for the money . to see if this case be right for you , compare you digital camera 's dimension to Kodak 's dc 3400 . if the camera be similar in size , you be all set . +465 Bag POS 5 I initially purchase this tote because of the featured sale price , and I be so impressed with the size and durability of the tote , that I buy 3 more to give to fellow mommy at Christmas ! this bag can hold everything you and you baby need while out for a entire day . I can pack extra clothes , pajamas , plenty of diaper , food and toy . the compartment inside be a add bonus . the wide strap make this tote extra-comfortable to carry over you shoulder . the material be easy to clean with soap and water -- another plus ! I would recommend this tote at any price ! +272 Bag NEG 2 this dust collector bag do catch a majority of the sawdust during cut , however , sawdust still fly out the bottom , top and around the blade , so do cut in a closed basement or close garage be still go to require clean-up . +121 Bag POS 5 I have have this sander for about a year now and be very pleased with it . it have perform excellently from fine sand for refinish door to rough sanding of plywood . the variable speed feature come in handy , especially for the fine sanding work . Belt change and track be a breeze . be able to flip it upside down onto its flat top give it some double-duty use as a tabletop sander . as well , be able to remove the front handle give better access in tight area . the dust collection bag be , however , worthless and you should just expect not to use it . either hook it up to a dust collection system or leave it open and make sure it point away from you . a carry case be not include , but would have be nice . overall , though , a very nice sander for the price and I would recommend it to anyone . +181 Bag POS 5 I need a camera bag that be light weight but able to hold all that I need when use a film 35mm camera and a digital slr . this bag if perfect . it will hold 2 35mm camera -lrb- slr digital -rrb- with lens attach and additional lens , flash , filter and gadget . it have a special place design for extra memory card and a system to show which one have be use . it have another special place for film . the best part be that it be very easy to get in and out of this bag when you be out take picture . +533 Bag POS 5 my current equipment consist of a rebel XT , 75-300 4-5 .6 , a 50 1.8 , a 17-85 4-5 .6 be , a 580exius flash -lrb- truly excellent -rrb- , mini tripod , spare battery and charger , Cleaning kit -lrb- the big one with the little spatula for clean the sensor -rrb- , Lens hood for the two big lens , misc filter , and a full size cheap-o tripod . I take this bag out for the first time on we Disney Cruise and find myself with room to spare for everything i may ever need . the problem with this be before , when use a random old camera bag I have for my cheap-o video camera , all I could take be the body , and lens . now I can fit all this other stuff , and it be just too big to take with you for a day at Disney . I find myself want a smaller bag for daily carry around , and use this bag for major travel . it be comfortable , but heavy due mostly to accumulation of item . . -lrb- ooh look ! I can fit this thingy over here ! . I might need a russian nuclear submarine today , Ill stash it here ! -rrb- its fastening system be good , though I find myself use the plastic buckle more than the zipper , and the tripod carry loop , uh . . carry a tripod . only complaint be that my cheapo tripod stick out past the edge of the bag , so I find myself bang it into wall and hallway sometimes . pro : big configurable sturdy comfortable con : big irresistible urge to fill it with more item ... -lrb- l lens ... -rrb- +631 Bag POS 4 Got mine today but the dust bag be not the more expensive one available at local retailer or picture on the box or in the manual . the box come with the factory seal but I be perplexed why a very cheap bag that do not carry the Bosch name make of flimsy fabric be in the box . it do match the amazon picture but not anything from the Bosch website or the box . it be not of the same quality as the dust bag on my Bosch random orbit sander . +145 Bag POS 5 I buy this sander about a month ago and be very pleased with it . I buy the Dewalt about three year ago and be throw it away to use the Makita . Belt track smoothly , dust collection be best I have ever see on a belt sander . it be well balanced , lighter than the DeWalt and a great value for the price . the DeWalt do not pick up dust well , belt would not track right and dust collection bag keep fall off . I be stay with Makita from now on . +280 Bag POS 5 note : the company website make a point of say that because these bag be degradable , you should plan to use they within a year of purchase . consider that before you buy a huge box of they . why would I pay so much for poop bag , when there be cheaper version and I could use grocery bag or newspaper bag for free ? 1 . these be a luxury item , for sure . as describe , they have a double layer that make you feel like you be less close to the item you be pick up . they come out of the box with the opening easily accessible , so you do not need to struggle to open it up to get you hand inside . they turn inside out and tie very easily , because the 2nd layer make a nice pocket for hold the pickup material . especially great for if you dog occasionally have very soft dropping that require a little work to pick up - definitely make that process less gross . 2 . these have high capacity . when I have my own yard I would sometimes pick up only once a day , and I could get 2-3 pile -lrb- from my medium-sized dog -rrb- into one bag . 3 . you can sometimes buy cheaper knock-off of these at chain pet store , but the knockoff be a different type of plastic that be not degradable , and they feel a little thinner . also , I would rather buy from the company that invent the item , even if it cost a little bit more , as a way of show my appreciation for they effort . 4 . these bag be degradable in landfill . there be cheap single-ply bag that also claim to be degradable , so it be not really a reason for buy they , but might be worth consider as a additional feature . I be not entirely sure if these would work in a backyard dog-waste composter , so contact the company if that be you plan . yes , these bag cost a lot more than cheap poop bag , on a relative basis - 2x to 3x more , depend on what you buy . but on a absolute basis , you be pay a few cent more with each pickup for a nicer experience . I would definitely recommend try they and see if it be worth it to you ! if you be go to pick up after you dog a few time a day , why not fly first class when you do ? +696 Bag POS 5 this be the best camera bag I have purchase , especially since it have the quality of any other Case Logic product , superb ! i own a old Toshiba pdrm1 digital camera , and in this neat little bag , there be a protected pouch for the camera , two storage area for digital media , and a storage for 4-aa -lrb- or aaa -rrb- battery . I think this bag be super convenient , since I can carry my extra SmartMedia card and spare 4-aa battery . the size of the bag be small enough to fit in my travel bag , but yet , have a lot of storage space for all the necessity of a digital camera . i highly recommend for a small digital camera like my Toshiba pdrm1 . dimension of my camera : 4-3\/4 '' long by 3-1\/4 '' high by 1-1\/2 '' deep . this camera be a perfect fit for this particular bag . +250 Bag POS 5 I be a little concerned that my long -lrb- 20 + foot -rrb- , heavy gauge cable would be difficult to fit , but the bag be perfect . with its heavy fabric and sturdy zipper , it be more than enough for casual use . +455 Bag POS 5 sexy messenger bag ! what I look for in a bag be lot of useful pocket ; this one have 'em . removable key ring , mesh exterior pocket for my water bottle , interior pocket that seem custom fit for my cell phone ... I love it . black color go with my coffee , and the reflective piping keep I safe and stylee ! +423 Bag POS 5 I love this case . I own three Lowepro case ; a `` Topload Zoom 2 '' -lrb- which I use whenever I take any of my slr camera in the field -rrb- , a `` d-res 8 '' for my Canon s400 , and and a `` d-res 10 aw '' , which I use with my Fuji mx-1700 digital camera . I think that all of they be exceptionally good . they be well-made , durable , good look and functional . before settle on Lowepro a couple of year ago , I go through dozen of bag , and be never really happy with any of they . the D-Res 10 aw be the perfect size for my Fuji mx-1700 . it be over two year old now , and look as good as the day that it arrive at my door via UPS - despite the fact that it have see lot of abuse over the last few year . +442 Bag POS 5 fit right into the spare wheel . out of the way but totally organize .

I have use the sander now for a month to sand down 2x6 and 4x4 rough sawn surface on redwood and doug fir I have use for finish a deck -lrb- railing , fascia , stair trim -rrb- . absolutely perfect tracking all the time , no matter how hot the belt get , no matter how much pressure I apply , no matter how long I have use the belt . I start with a 50 or 80 grit , then shift directly to a 120 grit belt for final finish . I have sand approx . 20 4x6 16 ft board , both side and edge , plus another 10 4x4 8ft post ... all 4 side , among other thing this far . power galore and perfect belt tracking , simple adjustment to bring belt to edge if need -lrb- and it stay there -rrb- ... what more could a belt sander need to do ? change belt be just as simple as with any other belt sander I have use over the year -- pull back on the clamp lever -lrb- it say open -rrb- , slip belt on , close clamp lever ... and let ` er rip . I also very much like the flat ` top ' which allow you to turn the sander over and sit it on it be ` top ' to use the belt surface as the stationary member while hold the work piece by hand to shape edge , corner , etc. with much greater precision of cut -lrb- hand hold piece , as oppose to hold the sander -rrb- . I also own a Makita sawzall -lrb- or whatever they be call -rrb- and have own and use it extensively for several year -lrb- purchase in 1992 ? or ' 95 ? or somewhere in that time-frame -rrb- . it be be extremely reliable , never any problem in the most demand work I have throw at it ... so I decide to buy the Makita belt sander as well for the hope for reliability and trouble-free use . normally I opt for Dewalt power tool ... still own and use my Dewalt Professional Radial arm see that I buy in ' 75 ... never have a problem with it and I have use it extensively and in heavy work-load over the year ... it be still as stong , steady , & precise as it be in ' 75 . but , in the belt sander catagory , I do not like the Dewalt design as much as the Makita -lrb- turn the sander over and use it as a stationary sander while hold the work piece by hand be a great feature -rrb- . I have use other 21 '' sander borrow from contractor from time to time , and though power be alway 's great , the tracking deteriorated greatly with with the belt 's use or the temperature\/pressure I apply . I could not be more satisfied . +451 Bag NEG 2 I just receive the belt sander . there be a slight oil stain in the bottom of the box , fine saw dust on the body , and metal scratch mark on the metal base on the bottom of the sander . hard to say , but some packaging might have be miss as well . use . I do not understand how this can happen but if I have to guess I would put this on Makita rather than Amazon who do not sell use version of this product . anyway , I just get off the phone and will be send it back . inspect yours carefully when you get it . note on Amazon return . I fill out a inquiry then have Amazon call I for help which they do immediately . after that I explain the problem and within minute I they issue I a return slip and will be pay for the shipping . also , they be rush I a new sander by tomorrow . while I be disappointed something like this could happen , and I be not happy about the time I waste , kudos to Amazon for make the return policy so quick and hassle free . this review have nothing to do with the performance of the belt sander as I do not even plug it in before send it back . +97 Bag POS 5 I order these for all of the Supervisor vehicle in use by we emergency medical service . after seven year they be still in great shape . the one that I order from Amazon be a personal purchase for myself .

I would have be happier if it look like the one in the picture though . +793 Bag POS 5 I buy this bag for my Nikon Coolpix 4500 . it be perfect . the cushion bag protect the camera from possible bump and fall , plus it be weather proof . in addition to the camera , I pack the follow accessory with no problem : extra compact flash card , Nikon 's mc-eu1 cable release , Nikon 's lcd view hood , extra battery , and a lens cleaning pen . the back have a extremely strong velcro belt strap . two ring accommodate a adjustable shoulder strap -lrb- which I leave off -rrb- . I use the 4500-strap through the side of the 2-zippered cover . all in all , the highest quality , function , and design for a camera the size of the Coolpix 4500 . +114 Bag POS 5 this tool replace a belt sander by Black and Decker that be buy in 1975 . when it totally die recently , I go to my favorite tool maker , Makita . the specification on this sander be good , the price be better than most other , and the review be excellent . my only misgiving be that it be heavy . I have a wood carve and sculpture business and most of the work could be do with something smaller . +907 Bag POS 4 this be my third Lowepro camera bag for all the other camera I have in the past and now . this look good and very well make inside and out . I buy this one in particular for my Canon SX210 be . I be look for something that would fit other thing like battery , memory card , usb cable , charger , lens clenaer , etc. . well , there be a separate compartment for the memory and battery . the main compartment be too big for my camera alone . I wish it have one of those divider with velcro that you can move around . my previous Lowepro 's have this on they . with this one , I can not put my other accessory as it might scratch my lcd . it be a very good camera bag , just make sure it be the right size for you camera . this camera would accomodate a small SLR camera . +614 Bag NEU 3 barely space for a camcorder or one slr and 2 lens . though be bring more space for my nikon d70 with 3 lens and a flash . +382 Bag POS 5 I use the Makita 9903 to sand down 2 loft bed that I build and it work just fine . very easy to use freehand or clamp down to be use as table sander . change the belt sandpaper be a snap . adjust the belt tracker be easy and once set , it stay without drift off . variable speed be simple to use and effective . the release on the saw dust collection bag be not a zipper but a slide device which work nicely . +579 Bag NEG 1 perhaps I miss read about this . I think it be a digital camera and the case . I only receive the case . I will be return this item soon . +392 Bag POS 4 if you want a basic camera that can zoom and have multiple auto-everything feature , this little film camera may be good for you . it be easy for I to carry around when I do not have room for a slr -lrb- single lens reflex -rrb- camera . take decent picture with 400 iso film , but light need to be pretty darn good daylight lighting for the pix to look swell . since purchase this little baby , Minolta go out of the camera business in the mid 2000s . the Freedom zoom 160 come out , I believe , in 2002 , one of the last film point & shoot camera . now I have a digital point & shoot with video capability and a Pentax K-x DSLR that I use for serious photography . but for a back-up camera , the Minolta can not be beat . +152 Bag POS 5 I get tire of deal with my old skill 18 '' sander . I could never keep more than half the belt on its track . the bottom plate would also collapse on one side after awhile necessitate a screw driver pry job . with the right belt the Makita be a well behave mini-beast -lrb- loose the belt that come with the Makita and get yourself some of the premium Norton belt ... you 'll be glad you do -rrb- . as other 's have say , this thing track flawlessley after a couple of adjust turn on the side-dial . the belt stay on track even after change through various belt . the bottom plate assembly look durable . it have plenty of power and it suck up saw dust to the bag like a vacuum . I would venture to say it capture about 90 % of the saw dust . the long cord be great because it keep you knot-tie connection to you extention cord away from you project where it typically get hang up on corner . this thing be make I look for project I would not have even consider with my old sander . +81 Bag POS 5 I spend the last few day buy sander and take they back -lrb- 2 actually -rrb- . one be a porter and cable 3x21 . this seem to be a well build sander except the dust collection system be very flaw . I have more dust fly than go into the bag . then I get the heavy duty DeWalt . this be a heavy brute . I find the top front wheel create a vibration every so often that the sander seem to hop and create tiger stripe on the work . it also require a lot of energy bto hold it down . even tghough the dust collector seem to be one of the best , I find a lot of dust all over the bag . I do not know if the bag fabric 's hole be allow the dust to escape or create static electricity to attract dust . even though the bag collect the dust , it seem the sander blow a whole heap of dust around . when in a tight corner and I tip the front to extend the reach , it seem to bite the work . it seem to go through a lot of sand belt with little to show for it . then I buy this baby . . very light and require very little effort to hold it on the work -lrb- always fight with the DeWalt -rrb- . the way this be design , there seem to be very little dust outside the bag and even then , there be no vent hole to blow it all around . the collection system work great and there be even a little attachment so I can hook up a shop-vap with a small hose . the sand belt seem to last twice as long as the DeWalt -lrb- do not know why this be so -rrb- . the sand seem to be far more efficient than the other sander I try and return . the icing on the cake be a accessory to hold the sander like a table sander . +874 Bag POS 5 I can stuff this tote with all sort of thing -lrb- book , shoe , sweater , makeup -rrb- , and it stand up to the task . it be great as a everyday `` schlepp '' bag , or as a carry on for the plane . I like that I can either throw it on my shoulder or carry it by the strap without it drag on the ground . it look fashionable , coordinate with all the gray and black in my wardrobe , and compare to many of the top brand out there -lrb- City Sac , Kate Spade , etc -rrb- and at $ 29 , you can not beat the value . +545 Bag POS 5 I have purchase this bag for all my child , niece and nephew to go with they jumper cable . they be very rugged and durable . +72 Bag NEU 3 this bag really work great for the camera with strap , a battery or two and a memory card . that be it though do not plan on put you car key or cell phone in too it just will not work . just the camera and that be about it . but , remember it be a camera bag ! +672 Bag POS 5 I receive my Bucket Boss Bag about a month ago and be use it to keep my drill all in one place along with the bit and charger . it work very well and and I well pleased with this bag . +620 Bag POS 5 I be refinish the woodwork in my home . I order this to save time in sand the jam , casing and baseboard . this sander work like a charm . I be very glad I purchase it . +836 Bag POS 5 this be a extremely well-designed and well-built sander . I have use many sander and be disappoint by poor design and bad belt-changing clamp system . its variable speed eliminate the need to press harder or softer on the sand surface , cut down on the chance of gouging material or cut divot in the surface . change the belt be easy : pull on the side lever and the belt slip on and off . there be a belt alignment adjustor which I set the first time I use it and have not touch since . the front handle be removable for sand up to obstruct edge . the dust bag actually work , and the sander can be hook up to a dust collector . most importantly , there be two accessory for the sander which make it versatile . the sand stand turn the sander into a upside-down bench-mounted sander , and the optional fence provide a way to easily and accurately sand endgrain on wood . it be build in Switzerland and it look and feel like it be make by swiss watchmaker . +307 Bag POS 5 I like this style of sander for many reason . to early to tell if I be real happy . track seem to be a issue out of the box . I 'll follow up after I figure it out . +507 Bag POS 5 just get my Cable Bag last night and I be really worried it be go to be too small for my giant , 25 foot long jumper cable but they fit perfectly ! +31 Bag POS 4 the Bosch belt sander be very powerful for it be size . I build a cabinet and use it to sand the wood , very fast sand smooth out the panel perfectly . I also have patch up my ceiling and it be uneven , this sander do pretty quick work of smooth it out . the only issue I have with it be the sand belt that come with it do not seem to stay evenly place on the roller . I can adjust it but it never sit the way it show in the manual . the belt always go outwards toward the belt release lever . I be go to use this belt up and then try the 3M one I purchase , hopefully these belt be better . but overall I be pleased . +36 Bag POS 4 just what I hope it would be . fit my heavy gauge -lrb- 10g ? x 14ft -rrb- with a little room to spare . +243 Bag POS 5 this bag fit the Canon a20 like a very well padded glove , with space for extra battery and cf card . I be grateful for it be build in `` shower cap '' several time on a recent camping trip to Colorado . the camera stay a lot drier than I do . +421 Bag POS 5 I own a Kodak DC215 Zoom Digital Camera . it fit very nicely into the Kodak essential Camera Bag . I buy the bag online , and when I receive it , it be bigger than I expect . the small compartment for extra memory card be very handy , but the strap for hold battery be pretty tight , so fasten the battery be kind of a problem . however , this keep the battery from fall out . there be a small flap inside to separate the camera from cable or other element that you might want to place inside . tightly squeeze , I be able to fit in my camera , a Kodak Battery Charger , and a SanDisk usb card Reader . all in all , this Camera Bag be very roomy , nicely build , and with enough space to fit what you need to carry around , if you own a small camera , like the dc215 . +228 Bag POS 5 after search for various belt sander on the Webb , I choose the Makita 9903 . use it be relatively easy , on hand and knee , but with 3M belt , the job -lrb- 900 ft2 -rrb- be not difficult . the sander work very well , have good weight , and do not hardly slow up at all with lot of pressure over knot and irregularity in the wood . long cord be overrated , ext. chord need anyway . but the sand bag be well design , large enough , and easy to empty and reinstall . I do not think there be a better belt sander available at this time . .7 \/ 15\/10 it would be nice if there be a case for it include though . +861 Bag POS 4 I need a case to carry my new Panasonic DV camcorder on my bike -- and this one fit the bill nicely . it be minimalist , yet it include a interior pocket with two slot , perfectly size for a dv cassette and a battery . in the lid be a mesh zipper pocket , for miscellany . and , on each end , a zippered pocket carry whatever . the inner divider help find a secure fit for the camera , and the whole rig fit into my handlebar bag . I like that it be easy to open this bag when I need it , thanks to the unusual shape of the lid . I do not find another bag that would fit the width of my handlebar bag , so this be the only candidate . fortunately , it do the job nicely . +159 Bag POS 5 i have 2 one for jumper cable snd one in my rv for the water hose . buy another one for my daughter . handy item . +512 Bag POS 5 this be my 5th Bucket Boss product and it be great . my jumper cable , tie downs , flat tire fix , and a couple of other goody be in the bag . it fit real neat under the back seat of my f150 out from under anyone 's foot . well make and look good . I 'll probably get more of they stuff soon . +863 Bag POS 4 I have a digital camera that have a large zoom lens . this bag accomodate it and other accessory , memory and gadget quite well . the outboard zipper pocket allow for other personal effect to be stow away and safe . Perfect for travel or a photo shoot . not to big or small . the leather like surface can receive rough handling without fall apart . at approx -lrb- price -rrb- it be be very good deal . +331 Bag POS 4 lot of space to accomodate stuff . strong , lightweight and useful . but you can get a Sears version fo about half the price . +597 Bag POS 5 Dewalt be the best and there bag be the best . it be good for most of you small tool . +667 Bag NEG 1 I purchase the Bucket Boss model 06009 jumper cable bag base on review that say it could hold a heavy duty set of jumper cable . wrong ! this bag be definitly smaller than I anticipate . it might hold a set of short , cheap , lightweight cable , but there be no way that my heavy duty cable will fit . it might be good for a 50 foot extension cord , but that be about it . the Bucket Boss model 06100 bag might do the job since it appear to be larger , but check before you buy . since mine only cost about $ 11 , it be not worth the hassle of return . I be sure I 'll find some use for it . +65 Bag POS 5 buy two of THESE BAGS for CHRISTMAS gift . both love the bag , one man be 52 and the other 25 . so great gift for any age . +480 Bag POS 4 this bag be a good value . it do not leave much extra space inside , depend on the length of the cord you have , but it get the job do . +445 Bag POS 4 I purchase this dust collection bag when I purchase my Bosch 4100 tablesaw . this tablesaw go on almost every job with I and I like have the dust collection bag so that I be not sweep up as much sawdust at the end of the day . +460 Bag POS 5 Amazon have this bag on sale frequently for a very cheap price . it be equivalent to the $ 20.00 + bag at the box store . it be well design and make . tough enough for the jobsite and good look too . can be use for many thing beside tool , as other reviewer point out . +561 Bag POS 4 great bag for hold a GameBoy Advance with a light and other accessory , but it look like a purse . go for it if you like function over form , or if you be a girl . +681 Bag POS 5 give this as a bday gift for my bf and he love it ... in it he put 2 large slr body and 3 lens , flash , extra charger and battery and card of course ... and it be hold up just fine ... it be sturdy but I would not overload it though ... the texture be very thick and the strap be reliable and comfortable ... I would suggest this for someone who be look for a nice , sturdy , less expensive multiple camera bag ... would not doubt it ... +320 Bag NEU 3 it be a nice bag with many pocket and quality material , but ... I like the ` ridgid ' 22 '' bag better . it be roomier and have a stiffer bottom and better handle . the bottom of this bag provide almost no support . if you look around , I think you 'll find better option . +952 Bag NEG 2 I have not compare this to a lot of bag but I find it heavy and uncomfortable to want to carry those few thing on a daily level -lrb- I end up use a side bag instead -rrb- and it be a bit small to have a as a go-to bag for project outside of the shop . the pocket be also too small to be helpful . I have stab under my fingernail a few time look for bit , screw , pen and the like . +918 Bag POS 5 track excellent even on it be back . can run the belt right to the edge for tight corner . recommend despite the price . +789 Bag NEG 1 well , I suppose it be my fault , but I just think a jumper cable bag would come with jumper cable in it . so read the fine print carefully -- it be just a bag ! +373 Bag POS 4 let I first say , I be a fan of Bucket Boss . I have have the smaller Bucket Boss bag for year , and have be very happy with it . I do not want to go up in size , because I end up carry my tool bag all over the place when I be work , and a bigger bag mean I 'll end up put in more tool which will weigh more ... I digress . so I buy the long boy , and it have work great . I will say that it do not have much individual storage for smaller tool . I use a tool roll for thing like screwdriver , scissors , etc. . then I put expendable like wire in the outside pocket , where I 'll be able to find they quickly . power tool like my drill and charger go on one side of the movable divider inside , and larger hand tool go on the other side with the tool roll . it be not a perfect system , because I have to take the tool roll out to get to smaller tool . but the bag have hold up well , it be comfortable to carry with the strap , and the shape work for my need . +548 Bag POS 5 I need a bag with good padding to protect my digital camera -lrb- Kodak dc4800 -rrb- , storage device -lrb- Digital Wallet -rrb- , Telephoto Lens , Lens Adapter , extra battery , battery charger . this bag help I organize it all -- with good padding for protection . there be two removable padded divider that can be position practically anywhere in the bag . the top flap have a zippered compartment great for smaller item like flash card , several battery , etc. . i especially like the two quick-and-easy-access pocket on the side that be make of mesh\/netting . Great for temporarily hold small extra . a more secure zippered compartment be on the front , where my digital wallet be a perfect fit . but for maximum protection from impact , I choose to keep it inside the main storage area and use the outside compartment for battery , charger , cord , etc. -lrb- which leave even more room inside -rrb- . there be yet another compartment , a zippered pocket , on the rear where I store papers , lens tissue or maybe a passport . i like have the choice of carry this attractive durable bag by the handle on top - or by the shoulder strap . by the way , the top zipper shut , and also have a snap-shut `` buckle . '' I have not yet be in inclement weather with this bag , but it have weather-protection feature on the top -lrb- lid -rrb- and bottom . it also have 2 belt loop on the back that permit hands-free use ... if you have a 35mm camera with a couple lens or flash attachment , you may need a bigger bag . I have a professional 35mm slr camera with two lens and a rather big flash . for that setup , I need the larger wordproof 3.2 bb . but the smaller bag be definitely more practical when I be have fun as a tourist . +959 Bag POS 5 this be one of the most versatile ap and digital camera case that I have encounter . it be very small and very light , yet it have 3 pocket with generous space for glass and other similarly-sized item and a film pouch that allow for very easy access . the case can be strap to the belt or use with shoulder strap and there be even a special strap for key . this be a absolutely great bag for camera . +930 Bag POS 5 I need a big enough case to fit my 25 ' 2ga booster cable in and this case fill the bill . it be construct very well and should last for many many year . I also buy 2 more afterwards to put some rv 30amp extension cord in and the case be big enough to fit they . nice product . +198 Bag NEU 3 bag i receive have a zipper front entry , and a zipper pocket in back for battery , card , etc. . the zipper front\/top be stiff and awkward to open . the entrance be narrow , and since the case be rigid , it be hard to get manual in case , and manual must be curved once it be in . the mesh compartment and battery loop be a nice touch , and quality seem very good . +136 Bag POS 5 this bag be as good as it get . incredible quality and protection for my Nikons . would recommend this bag to anyone . +240 Bag POS 5 my olympus digital camera , 510 model , fit very nicely in this bag . the bag be not leather or anything , but feel high quality and have enough padding to cushion a drop of the camera . at a reasonable price , this bag be a great value . it have a strap to clip onto you belt and a shoulder strap . this be everything I be look for in a bag and I be very pleased with it . +3 Bag NEG 2 look like a good product , but be clearly use and the belt be worn so I return it . Amazon will not let you exchange this product , so I order another . if it be use as well , I 'll be dissapoint . so far I have order 3 powertool on Amazon and all have be clearly use , and some missing part . I be give they one last shot . beware . +595 Bag POS 5 I buy the large for home and the small to keep in the car . both great bag . +977 Bag NEG 1 so far as I can tell , there be no problem with the camera case , but it be too big for the PowerShot s100 , and not big enough to hold the camera and charger . I be return one I recieve as a gift -- this could be the perfect case for another camera . +383 Bag POS 4 this be my first belt sander and I buy it because I need to refinish some walnut paneling . it make strip old finish a breeze ! I have even use it to edge plane some rough cut cherry face frame stock with good success -lrb- use a Klingspor planer belt -rrb- . change belt be easy , and the auto-tracking mechanism work well . I also find the speed control to be really useful . like other I find the dust port to be on the wrong side of the tool , and it have be difficult try to find a adapter to my vaccum that work well . +627 Bag POS 4 this sander replace a crappy DeWalt that last for 2 seconds . and all I can say be : AWESOME ! the only thing I can think of that would prevent I give it 5 star be that it do not come with a case . for my first project , I make the beginner error by not secure the object that be go to be sand to the table . I think that since the bin be pretty big and heavy it would be fine but this sander shot the potato\/onion bin accross the workshop , so it do have more then enough power . after the Dewalt debacle , I will not buy anything else but Makita anymore . I have quite a few Makita tool for some year now and never ever have a problem with any of they . +449 Bag POS 5 excellent bag , lot of pocket , quality construction . Great for almost anything you can think of . +244 Bag POS 5 great bag for you jumper cable . I be able to fit the Coleman 20ft long cable in it , with some space leave over for additional equipment . the bag keep the cable flat and can easily be stow under one of the seat in the car . Great , solid product . I look forward to use it for many year . +972 Bag POS 5 I be very pleased with this product . it be as advertise . well make , well think out , sturdy and good color for a man .

I have take picture throughtout Europe , Australia and New zealand in all kind of weather and light condition with always the same excellent result . a great camera to take take on a hurry up and keep move tour . it take wonderful landscape , animal and people picture . even do well from a move boat or car . the auto focus be incredible . just point and shoot , the camera will lock on focus . we be now off to South America . +135 Bag POS 5 I just want to say that this be a great bag for school and everything else . I go to college and this type of bag everyone have . it be the new style , jansport be out and the 1 strap bag be in . +370 Bag POS 4 fit in the storage space under the rear deck of my Prius . Perfect for the battery cable , flare , couple of tool . most tool bag or emergency road kit be too bulky to fit . bag construction seem to be very good . price be ok too . you can not buy much for the $ 20 - $ 25 range anymore . +676 Bag NEG 1 do not do it ! I buy the bag to go with my worksite Bosch Table see -lrb- the saw be awesome -rrb- . there be dust everywhere , include a bit in the bag . but if it be go to be everywhere anyway , I still need to vacuum , so now I need to do that and empty the bag too . I would have save the 15 buck and up the shop vac to the next level instead . +309 Bag POS 4 my hp photosmart c200 fit nice and snug in this case , it be a great little bag . +701 Bag POS 4 I use this mainly to carry tool and hardware between the house and -lrb- detach -rrb- garage . I can load it with a hammer drill , cordless drill\/driver , etc. . it have various inner and outer pocket and divider to carry hand tool and hardware . it appear well-made and heavy duty , good value . +177 Bag POS 5 I go to a few privately own camera store -- very overpriced for what they be offer . the Samsonite camera bag be tough , durable , and SPACIOUS . I carry a flash , two lens , along with my canon elan 7 , and I have ton of room to grow , which be what I want . very reasonably price and well-made . I be pleased with my purchase . +466 Bag POS 5 this item do just what it say it will . it will hold a large heavy-duty set of jumper cable and quite a few tool . I would reccomend it . +267 Bag POS 5 great bag . it do fit the a20 and a extra Compact Flash card perfectly . however , it be a bit tight when try to fit 4 ` aa ' battery but it be acceptable . the quality of the bag be top notch and the fabric inside the bag will not scratch the lcd screen . the hidden cover be a bonus ! +690 Bag POS 5 after go through a couple of $ 50 - $ 60 belt sander I decide to spend the big money and get something where -lrb- hopefully -rrb- all the feature work as they should . this model 9903 3x21 belt sander from Makita do not disappoint I ! the first thing I notice be it be incredible balance and precision , obviously well design and build , have a very `` solid '' feel . the belt speed be nearly double that of the $ 50 model , which make a huge difference in the amount of time it take to sand the deck i be work on . the dust collection be flawless , collect 90 % of the dust without clog , even with 50grit sandpaper . I run this sander 4hr at a time , it do not overheat like the cheaper model do . the sand be very even , no miss spot . the only bad thing I have to say about it be the weight , a benefit when sand horizontal surface but at almost 10lb , sand the vertical post be tough , my shoulder be pretty sore by the time i finish ! I guess that be the price of have a bigger motor that deliver greater belt speed . +845 Bag POS 5 Ther be nothing worse than six foot plus of jumper cable float around in the back of a pickup or in the trunk of a car . if they be not in a container they seem to have a life of they own . make it a suv and it be worse yet . we live in a rural area so we keep a set of jumper in all of we car . nothing worse than a suddenly dead battery and no cable to get a jump . for the truck a heavy set to get the tractor or other equipment run . I buy the first bucket boss cable bag about 10 year ago and it be still be use in the truck . this be the third one , first one with the tool carrier . they be sturdy , zipper hold up . well make . they work so well , I never bother to look at anything else . +289 Bag POS 5 if you do not have a vac system , then this will really cut down on some sawdust . it do not take care of all of the dust , but it catch a decent amount . just make sure the outlet be clear before you plug in and start the saw . +430 Bag POS 5 this be a fine build bag with the ability to hold many camera item . alas , it be too big and I have to return it . no trouble receive it quickly . +389 Bag POS 5 I have only use it a couple of time to remove material from door bottom so as to clear new carpeting . work great ! light weight , easy to handle with good feel . do not gouge . dust catcher be good - not great . I would definitely recommend base on my limited use to date . +362 Bag POS 5 Maximum organizational capacity ! amaze at just how much this little bag can hold and how easy it be to access . +616 Bag POS 4 the Lowepro d-re case be really wonderfully design , but be very clear in you expectation : because they be so well-padded , they may look like they hold a little more than they do . the d-re 25 aw I buy for my Coolpix 950 fit it like a glove , but for I that be exactly the problem . it 'll fit the camera , but the camera 's neck strap could only be stuff in in a manner that be both inconvenient and potentially harmful to the camera . it will hold a spare set of battery , but a extra filter or two be out of the question -lrb- not safely , anyway -rrb- , as be the tiny tripod -lrb- about the size of 3 ballpoint pen side-by-side -rrb- I like to have with I . I mention this in part because Lowepro 's camera matrix ... recommend the 25aw for the slightly longer Coolpix 990 . while this may be accurate , it might not be practical for all consumer -lrb- for reason such as those give above -rrb- . still , the matrix be a good place to start , and full dimension for each bag can be find elsewhere on the manufacturer 's site . for myself , I will be exchange the 25aw in favor of the 30AW , which add some width for accessory . once you have find the right size for you purpose , these case be a excellent choice . +141 Bag NEG 2 while it be pretty light , this model just have too many design issue to be worth the premium lifestyle brand price . for starter , the dust bag be awful and the sander would be better off without it . there be absolutely nothing on either the dust port or the bag itself that be capable of create a seal , so you invariably end up with a steady stream of dust shooting right into you face no matter how much you tighten that little screw . odds be good that port 's go to clog up on you in a big hurry , too . next up be the tension release lever -- it be plastic . not that ultra sturdy kind of plastic they make milk crate and flight case out of that last forever , but the cheap kind that go brittle as it outgas . in this price range , I expect to get a tool that be go to last several year , but this be one part that be very obviously go to break much sooner than that . frankly , it feel like it be go to snap off every time you use it . then there be the little graphite pad they put over the platen . this wear down very , very quickly and you be go to have to special order replacement . what be worse be that 3 '' belt do not quite cover the entire thing , so after about 10 minute worth of usage you 'll have wear a groove into it that leave you with a 1\/8 '' strip on the side sit flush with the belt itself . can you say ugly black streak everywhere ? I know that you could . lastly , the handle bug I . there be no good way to pick this thing up -lrb- or set it down -rrb- without accidentally bump the trigger . I have no doubt that this would have eventually result in something very bad happen have I decide to keep it . if it be maybe half the current price , I would consider it a viable contender as I do like the weight , the flat platen , and the flat top , but I be go to have to go with the Makita on this one . if plastic and `` good enough '' performance be you cup of tea , Ryobi 's even cheaper . +879 Bag POS 5 I have have one of these for year . as a off-roader with jeep , I carry a 20 ` x2 '' recovery strap . this bag work well to keep my recovery strap coil , shackle , and glove all organize and ready to toss in the Jeep whenever head to the trail . I have 4 or 5 other Bucket Boss product , love they all . +429 Bag POS 5 Got this for my jvc-grdvm90u ... work great ... get the camcorder and all accessory include charger , cable , extra tape and manual to fit comfortably ... very stylish ... nice handle which make it very easy to carry ... highly recommend it ... +44 Bag POS 5 I purchase this bag base on Amazon consumer recommendation and they be spot on ! excellent bag-hold everything , very secure . nice look as well and well design . very happy with it . +368 Bag POS 5 I buy this sander from Amazon several month ago , and I have sure give it a good workout since I have have it . it track very well , and be powerful enough for even the toughest job . change the belt be far easier than most model ... a big plus . this be the first Bosch tool I have owner , and it have make I a believer in the brand . the tool be exceptionally well construct , and build to last . I could not be more pleased with the purchase . +762 Bag POS 4 before puchase this tool bag , I take the time to read the review on this site . after receive and use it , I couldnt ' be more satisfied . it be everything I expect it to be . it have plenty of room and pocket to organize my tool and its nice not to have to dig down in the bottom of the bag to find the one you need . have not have it long enough to see how it will hold up , but it look to be very well construct . I plan on get another . +978 Bag POS 5 this be a extremely well-designed and well-built sander . change the belt could not be easier . the speed control be simple to adjust , and be variable by the amount of tension place on the trigger . this sander feel great out of the box , sand flat and be smooth-running . I do heavy duty sanding , and this be the tool for the job . if I could I would give more than five star for Bosch tool . I highly recommend it . +974 Bag POS 5 this be a great quality bag if you can get it for under ten dollar . nice , light-weight , utility bag . +254 Bag POS 4 I buy this because all my hand tool be in drawer and scatter on my workbench . Everytime I start to work on something I never have all the necessary tool and would have to run back and forth for the tool I need . I get this home and I fill my new bag . very please with how much I could get in there and organize . also very pleased with how strong it be . now I just grab the bag and go . +76 Bag POS 5 I stop use my Crapsman belt sander a long time ago . it be more work than it be worth . when I run into a particularly difficult wood that even my Lie-Nielsen plane , at the highest angle and with the sharpest blade iron , could not plane without chip out , I have only two option : scraper or a belt sander . because of the amount I have to remove , I choose the belt sander . so I break down and buy a real belt sander . and now I be wonder what take em so long . while a bit heavy , it work like a charm ! and it be so fast I wish I have more project that require a belt sander . it track well . it be easy to set down on the wood without gouge it . dust collection be excellent . it be relatively quiet . change belt be easy . and it do not bog down under load . +334 Bag POS 5 I purchase this bag for my digital camera and my 35mm point-and-shoot camera . both fit with plenty of extra room for film , memory sticks\/cards , and extra battery . the inside be line with a soft , felt-like material with do not scratch the lcd display on my digital camera . also on the inside , there be a adjustable velcro divider . on the bottom of this bag , there be a hide-away waterproof hood that cover the entire bag . all together , it protect my camera from day-to-day handling and the element . overall , a excellent product . +500 Bag POS 5 I purchase this for my partner 's table saw -lrb- a different brand saw -rrb- which do not come with a dust colletor bag even though it be a expensive table saw and it work wonder to keep the dust down ! a great buy at such a reasonable price . +532 Bag POS 4 I buy this for my Canon Powershot a610 because canon 's case which be make for this model -lrb- dcc-300 -rrb- have not be release in the U.S. as far as I can tell , and I do not want to squeeze it into the model make for the a95 . as for the case , it fit very nicely . the space for the extra memory card be good . the lining be excellent . the battery be suppose to go to the side of the camera , not in front , and though fitting four aa be a bit tricky , it can be do , and that way no battery fall out when the case be open . +34 Bag POS 5 although a seam fail shortly after start use of this toolbag , I think it be a anomaly because I have a GateMouth Longboy that have endure a lot of hard use and the replacement Jr. bag be hold up just fine . both bag be light-weight but very strong and easy to carry . I do use the pocket sew into the bag but find that a couple of inexpensive office supply store pencil box work well to orgainize and protect my smaller tool and supplies . the GateMouth line of tool bag be very good quality and I recommend it highly . +163 Bag POS 5 I have replace a 20 year old Craftsman belt sander with the 9903 Makita . I always fight with the Craftsman 's tracking . I could only go 5 minute before I need to adjust the tracking . the Makita be not like this at all . it have perfect tracking ! I pull the 9903 out of the box and it track ok with the stock belt . but when I put a 3M belt on it and tweek the track a bit I have not touch the tracking , even when I change the belt to a different grit . I highly recomment this belt sander and 3M -lrb- purple -rrb- sand belt . you can turn 9903 over and clamp it to the bench , great feature . it have a very nice trigger lock button , easy to set when you want to set it - but not so easy to lock when you do not want it lock -lrb- with either hand -rrb- . a add benefit be that this belt sander be that it be very quiet -lrb- as belt sander go -rrb- . my only complaint be with the availability of accessory . I can not find a sand frame or a vacuum attachment . when I go to a authorized dealer for Makita and ask for a quote on a sand frame they quote the housing of the 9903 . buy this one , you will not be disapoint . +829 Bag NEG 1 can not believe this case be too small , after read review that case be too big for other camera . I think it be irresponsible that these case be be sell for camera they do not fit . waste of money ... +668 Bag POS 5 I buy this as a christmas gift for my husband . he be impress by the stay open , wide mouth and the sturdiness of the bag . he also like the pocket that line the entire inside of the bag . it be handsome and functional . +283 Bag NEG 1 sorry , first this bag be not as large as it look , rather small in fact . in fact it do not look like the picture post at all . it do come in a Bosh package but I can not immagine Bosch would put out this product . the sawdust get clog in the neck of the bag and the dust start blow back from the blade . I know it be difficult to collect sawdust from a table saw but this just be not the solution . it can be a pain in the neck but just keep you shop vac attach . +842 Bag POS 5 what be you wait for ? just buy it !! this be a super work gal bag - cuz you never know what you might need and we tend to load we tote bag with alot of `` stuff '' . this bag can hold it all , it have room for everything and then some without look like you be carry so much . have lot of secure zip pocket for valuable , a special place for key , and that padded pocket work great for carry my e-mail mailstation unit securely when I travel out of town . the color be perfect for not show the dirt from so much use & the material be nice & sturdy - the bag stand up by itself without fall over , mess up you item inside . I start by buy one - figure the price be so cheap it probably would be a cheap bag . NOT SO !! it be a fantastic bargin , I have order 3 more as gift - - - - buy it , you 'll like it ! +502 Bag POS 4 I get this to store my Bostitch f21pl frame nailer bostitch f21pl Round Head 1-1\/2 - Inch to 3-1\/2 - Inch Framing Nailer with positive Placement Tip and Magnesium Housing it be a tight fit , but the zipper close and the frame nailer will be a lot happier in the bag , dust free , and hopefully free of the dent and ding it would receive it it be rattle around the back of my truck unprotected . I like the gunner bag and can recommend it . here be some point base on my use and observation : pro : \* size - this bag should fit just about any pneumatic nailer you have . the Bostitch I get it for be about as big as the other guy that shoot round head frame nail : Hitachi , Senco , Porter Cable , etc. . Mine fit best upside down , with the business end point toward the peak of the bag , on top . naturally , it will fit many smaller nailer , too , like a roofing nailer or a couple of finish nailer . \* well make - the material of the bag be rugged ripstop nylon and it seem to be put together well enough . stitch be mostly single and while the zipper be not particularly heavy duty -lrb- it be a nylon type - not metal -rrb- , it should last long enough . the handle be make of nylon webbing and will probably outlast other component of the bag . \* it be padded - I like this feature , for in addition to keep the dust off the tool , I also want the bag to afford it protection from bang and bump when it be ride along with my other tool in the back of the pickup . the side be not heavily padded , but it be enough to make a difference . while the bottom be not pad it do have a strip of rigid plastic run the length of the bag which should offer some protection as well . \* Versatile - The bag come with one pocket on the outside -lrb- which be where a bottle of my pneumatic tool oil life -rrb- and a couple of small pocket inside . give that it be already a tight fit inside for a full-size framing nailer and the fact that the interior pocket be fairly small , I do not see much practical purpose to these ; I would prefer to have another , larger , pocket on the exterior -lrb- perhaps with a closeable flap ? -rrb- where I could store the tip cover , sequential-fire trigger , etc. . the bag come with a nylon shoulder strap so you can carry the bag over you shoulder to free up you hand . this may or may not be useful depend on how you use the bag , but it be nice to have the option . con : \* value - this be purely subjective , but it seem that this bag should be less expensive than it be . be it handy ? yes , it be . be it essential ? well , no , I do not think it be . at the time of this writing , the bag represent about 13 % of the cost of the tool it be carry . I leave it to you to decide whether that be a good value or not . I have use Bucket Boss product in the past and they be still go strong , but that be carry dozen of tool , day in , day out , everywhere . this gunner bag be go to be carry one tool , occasionally , so the value proposition for I be not as sweet as it could be . \* gate mouth - I need to review the meaning of what gate mouth be , because I think that mean a opening that get bigger due to a semi-rigid opening that make the open to the bag much bigger . this bag do not have that , but instead it have a zipper that run the length of the bag . do it matter ? the zipper work just fine , and the bag swallow my framing nailer , so I guess not . still , my expectation be different from what the product actually be . -lrb- I 'll allow that I may be confuse about the meaning , for sure -rrb- other thought : I do not see this as a essential item , but it be nice to have depend on you use . I be a contractor , but not a full-time rough carpenter or framer , so I will not be use my framing nailer on a daily basis . in my shop , this gunner bag will be protect my tool from dust and bump until I use it again . if I be to use my frame nailer every day , I do not know that I would spend the money on protect the tool that would basically get use to death and then toss . professional framer , what do you think ? for this reviewer , this be a good and useful bag that I be happy I purchase . yes , I think it could have be have for less give that the quality be ok but not fantastic , the material be decent but not top quality -lrb- zipper -rrb- , and it be make in China . -lrb- not to knock China in this case , but while they manufacture this bag about as well as anyone , let 's face it : it cost the factory penny on the dollar to produce this item -rrb- +831 Bag POS 5 it be a great tool bag . I have get it almost full , and the strap be tough enough to carry around . +472 Bag NEU 3 nice bag to use for a `` roadside emergency '' kit in you trunck or behind the seat of you truck . a little overpriced , but good . I think it will last for a long time . it appear very durable . +210 Bag POS 4 now THIS be a bag . the main compartment be roomy enough to hold most camcorder -lrb- or camera with a extra lens + flash -rrb- . there be a padded divider which you can move around to fit exactly the cam you have . the front accessory pocket be great for keep tissue , spare film , booklet , pen , etc. -lrb- you \* know \* some gum will end up in there . lol -rrb- the detachable pack be the best part in my opinion . I currently have it off on my bag , but there be time when I need to pack extra supplies and it be great for quickly attach to the bag . this be a must have option\/feature that you should always look for ! +14 Bag NEU 3 well , actually , it be kind of ugly . it have this weird gray piping around it that -- while you can see it in the picture -- be actually much more pronounced than that , and really ugly . safety ? I do not think so . too small . aesthetic ? Uh , no. . I think I be go to take a black magic marker to it . secondly , the internal pouch for the laptop be rather small -- my IBM 460 barely squeeze in it at all . really have to work to get it in or out . Third , it be floppy . maybe that be the way a messenger bag have to be , but , well it be a little more floppy than I want . finally , it be expensive . I mean $ 40 ! I want something really great for that kind of money . so , be there anything good ? sure . it be get lot of usefull little pouch and pocket , which be how I like to organize my world . it do slap comfortably across my back and stick where I want it while ride . so , I do not think it be the organizional foundation upon which I will find the rest of my life , but it be ok . +590 Bag POS 4 a absolutely wonderful bag for the money ! Big , roomy , comfortable to carry -lrb- no matter how much you stuff inside -rrb- and a very well thought-out design . +493 Bag POS 5 this be a extremely good buy . it be Perfect for my camcorder . I Love it ! +438 Bag NEG 2 it amaze I that people be give this tool more than a one or two star rating . it can not be use for over 2 hour without begining to fail . it show that most user be either not use the tool long enough before give a review , or the normal project people use the tool for be very short duration . this sander be size and shape perfectly for easy handling and general all position use . when the sander be new I use it to sand a maple butcher block top . after a hour or so the sander be spit black graphite piece all over the white wood top stain the surface . the sander be hop around like the wheel be square ! I remove the belt to inspect the sander . the friction pad be disintegrate . the wheel be clump with fragment from the die pad . I have to finish the job with my old $ 49.00 Skil which be very light duty , but finish the job . I send the sander in to be repair under warranty . I get some resistance from the repair people , but they do put a new pad on , and replace a wheel . I have since use the sander for very light use type job of short duration . last week I have another job which require continuous use for 3 hour sand a fiberglass body panel flat . I use no down pressure only gravity to weight the sander . it last 2 hour before spit out carbon flake again . the wheel be cake with graphite lump again and the lead 25 % of the pad be wear down again . this pad design be lack for any project require continuous use over a hour or so . it look like I may need a heavier duty tool to use for any surface type job . this one be only good for sand edge or small lump off of surface . the cost be too high for such a light duty tool . I hope they abandon the carbon pad for future offering . the plastic back bone inside the dust bag fail on my sander also . it have small ear that attach to the inlet socket . the ear be very small diameter and lack robustness . I hope Bosch can refine this sander , as it be a good handling tool and would fit the need of many a craftsman . +32 Bag POS 5 I have a Tamrac bag that give good service for a number of year and want a larger bag . I investigate Tamrac bag at they website to be able to make comparison between product . this camera bag have plenty of space and be very well make . I do miss the opening in the old bag that could hold my 8x10 gray card , a notebook and my camera manual the partion inside be form to support you camera with lens mount and you can customize since everything be anchor with velcor strip . the bag seem very durable , and be very roomy as this be one of they larger bag . Quality at a reasonable price . : -rrb- +584 Bag POS 5 when I get my job as a librarian , one of the first thing I notice be how many bag these people carry to and from work . six month into the job , I need one desparately as well ! this bag be wonderful because it have a place for you notebook computer -lrb- alas , I use this space for my library book ! -rrb- and a zippered pocket inside -lrb- where I keep my cosmetic ! -rrb- plus a little `` net '' pocket where I keep thing I need access to quickly -lrb- my key ! -rrb- . it also have a zipper pocket outside where I keep my pencil . the bag have plenty of space , since it manage to carry my lunch , all my book , my purse , and everything else I need to carry ! the strap be just long enough to sling over my shoulder and just short enough that I can carry it by hand if I want to . I like the color too ; they be neutral so they match pretty much everything I own . the bag be my lifesaver ; and after about 6 month of hard use , it still show no wear ! diff --git a/train/CableModem.txt b/train/CableModem.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..a2be2b9d444cd966f2666f740b35ddca36090259 --- /dev/null +++ b/train/CableModem.txt @@ -0,0 +1,701 @@ +740 CableModem POS 5 recently purchase this modem to replace another older motorolum gateway model . upgrade my comcast connection to 20mbp .

Works great and be easy to install . sine it be pair with a Netgear 3700v2 router it be in `` bridge '' mode which Comcast have to do for you , so you can not see any specifics about the modem once it be behind the router , which be expect . I have look at they and it seem to be work very fast with Comcast . we get a clean signal 6-10 m ping , no packet loss and 25mbp down and 4mbp up , which be great since we have 5 computer , 3 PS3 's , 5 pda -lrb- iphone , android -rrb- phone ,5 hd\/dvr Directv reciever with whole home dvr hook up to internet and a att Microcell Tower which which work like VOIP for better cell phone coverage . so you can see we be task this thing and it just keep on go . my 3 kid do a lot of online multiplayer gaming mw3 , battlefield 3 , etc. so we use alot of datum for gaming and Netflix , Vudu video download \/ streaming , last month be 465gb datum use . anyway it work well and have get good review feedback by other . +462 CableModem NEU 3 on the good side , when it work , the basic internet connectivity work fine . I have have it for half a year now connect with Comcast , and never have any connectivity issue -lrb- unlike the comcast-provided basic Motorola modem -rrb- . on the bad side , it be the third unit by now . I have buy it at BestBuy , and they have be replace they without any question by just stop at the store . good luck shipping it back and forth if you buy it online . the first one have the cable connectivity and ethernet work fine but the WiFi just be not there , be not even show in the config menu . I have call the support and they have say to replace the unit , so I do . the second unit work fine for half a year until it die . there be a big thunderstorm on that day , which might be relate . it be be connect though a UPS _ and _ a surge protector , so the power line can not be the issue . and I have have a laptop sit next to it , plug directly into the wall , connect to WiFi . no problem with the laptop , the router be dead . perhaps it do not have the adequate protection on the antenna circuit . so now I have the third unit , again replace by warranty , and so far it work fine again . the other bad news be that it be quite feature-poor . no comparison at all to the router that Verizon provide with fio -lrb- and mind you , at no charge , unlike Comcast -rrb- . it can not do static address in the lan -lrb- you can leave a block for static address in dhcp but you can not hardcode fixed address in dhcp -rrb- . it can not do the local dn domain for the LAN . you can not assign symbolic name name nor fixed address to you dhcped machine . so if you have say a networked printer , reach it become not exactly straightforward . +106 CableModem POS 5 since I get cable modem service six year ago I have stick with the Motorola Surfboard line , which I will not criticize nor praise because both the box I rent from the cable company -lrb- and buy five time over -rrb- and the later 5100 model buy from a co-worker work very well for I . but towards the beginning of October last year I start experience major problem stay online and after a epic back-and-forth with the cable company that take two month to solve , I think it would be the cable modem that cause the problem . on a tech 's suggestion I decide to buy my own , but this time go with something different outside Motorola . I could have get a few generic brand , but do research I come upon this model . since I have a Linksys router , hey , it make sense to get the matching modem , right ? at first , I still have those cable problem . it be not the modem . three week and one pole check later , I find out it be indeed something at the pole in the alley . thus I buy this modem likely for nothing ... except that it work incredibly well since my connection have not waver outside of cable maintenance period ever since . everything hum along , the modem be not in you face or in the way , prop up like a small book on the computer cart against the desk . it be easy to maintain , the diagnostic screen be helpful yet simple , and since I buy a laptop a few month ago , it work very well with my home network . the modem also keep cool , the ac adapter be not a brick and the light on it be very easy to read . if you want a fine and dependable DOCSIS 2.0 modem , this be the one for you . the savings of modem rental work in you favor and the small size of the unit make it very convenient to have , and it be reliability be impressive . +948 CableModem POS 5 this amp be great . it boost the pathetic signal I get in my main tv viewing room from my cable company and it allow I to split the signal so I can use the picture-in-picture aspect of my tv for the first time . it truly be a great , solid , high quality , well engineer product ! +530 CableModem NEG 1 I need DOCSIS 3.0 , and my Motorola 6020 die after only a year of use -lrb- keep drop the connection -rrb- , so I `` upgrade '' to the 6121 . after be on the phone with Comcast for nearly a hour to get it up and run , it finally connect . 5 min after I hang up the phone with they it disconnect . it keep connect and disconnect randomly after that . the connection , when it do connect , do not hold on for long . I think I be do with Motorola modem . I have a much older one that work great , can not remember the model , unfortunately it be only DOCSIS 2.0 and I be pay for 3.0 service , something Motorola can not seem to get right . +201 CableModem POS 5 I receive this item and have make arrangement to cable service start . what I think be interesting be the tech from Comcast say this device be completely unusable since the serial number have be register elsewhere I have to rent a unit from he . after a couple of day , I call the service department and while on the phone he tell I all I need be the MAC address and they would take care of the rest . well , needless to say , the unit work great ! be even able to connect my router to and set up my network with no issue . what be Comcast think ? well , when I get my bill they overcharge I for the service I sign up for and keep the rent charge on the bill after I return they modem . the modem work great and I be glad I make the purchase ! +469 CableModem POS 5 I have just install the Motorola bda-2 and want to share my device hook up and result . my signal into the house be fine , but I have several split to different device and be lose signal strength . I have three television , 1 set top box , 1 tv tuner on my pc and a cable modem -lrb- cox -rrb- . my cable enter the attic where I make my 1st split use a 5-1000mhz 2 way splitter .

I be sure my modem would have work fine run thru the amp , but my internet have no problem so I split before the amp . bedroom tv have much clearer picture , all channel fine . master bedroom with analog and digital tuner be excellent . go from 15 to 32 qam channel all clear and some at 1080 hd . line to pc tv tuner be pick up excellent signal with both analog and clear qam . I be very pleased with all result ! there be a note in the box say not for satallite so keep that in mind . check all connection to make sure they be tight . check you splitter to be sure they be in the 5-1000mhz range . this be a a + product and I hope you result be as good as mine . update ! I do try run the cable modem thru the amp , but result be poor . the modem do respond , but speed be slower . the set top box with on demand feature work fine . I have excellent modem signal to begin with , that be why I split my modem line before it go into the amp . perhaps you modem will be fine . if not just split before the amp rf input . +643 CableModem POS 5 this product work great ! I have some channel that would pixel and some channel that would not come in with Comcast cable . this unit solve all of that . it also make my computer down load faster . on my Tivo it make the signal strength go from 70 to 100 . on my computer the downstream power go from -13 dbmv to +2 dbmv . this be money very well spend . +274 CableModem POS 5 I pick this cable modem because it be Motorola and it be one of the `` approve '' cable modem for Comcast . my original cable modem be a Motorola and be super reliable . my second cable modem be not a Motorola and I have nothing but trouble . this cable modem be super simple to setup and have be very reliable since the install +890 CableModem POS 4 this cable modem have the highest compatibility rating with Comcast -lrb- http:\/\/mydeviceinfo.comcast.net\/ -rrb- , so I be not surprise that it work fine with Comcast Cable Internet . other than the led be a little too bright and distracting I could find no fault with it . whether you should buy this or not have little to do with the modem itself but rather whether it be worth it . you can rent a cable modem from most cable company for $ 5-7 a month . do the math , that be 11 month rent the modem for you to break even . consider that the DOCSIS standard have change only three time since 1997 , chance be the modem be good for many year . so , if you be plan on stay with cable internet for a year or more it be probably worth invest in one . however , if you own cable modem die , you 'll have to buy another one whereas , if you be rent , you 'll get a replacement for free . since most cable contract be for a year or more , invest in one of these seem to be a good idea . just make sure you cable company be not charge you for the rental of the cable modem when you be use you own . +941 CableModem POS 5 have this item over a month , no issue - completely compatible with Comcast 's Infinity\/Net service . shipment arrive as describe , on time , and just what we be expect . item pay for itself in less than 10 month if you compare the price to the rental fee impose by Comcast . a + so far ! +682 CableModem POS 5 I be pay 7.00 a month for a old beat up router not worth 5.00 to buy from charter cable I do a lot of online gaming with 2 people always on it . to every one surprise the internet begin to run with lightning speed first time I have ever see my speed that fast then I speed up my system from 15mpb to 30mpb this modem will most surly make a major differnce in you system performance if you have older and outdated modem !! thanks for buy the most current model !! Charles +509 CableModem POS 5 the product be deliver in only 3 day . what great service . the Cable Modem be easy to install , one call to COMCAST and the modem be up and run . be work great since the day i install it . +347 CableModem POS 4 I be write this in late December , have purchase the unit in September . I 'll put this review in three section : the good , the bad and `` the neutral '' -- the good -- once it be set up I really have no complaint . I purchase a combo cable modem\/switch\/broadband router with wifus and that be exactly what this unit be and do rather effectively . since I buy this unit at the same time I sign up for the comcast account I have nothing to compare it to . my main computer be also connect through a `` ethernet over powerline '' set of adapter which add several m of latency so I can not even comment on that . both wire and wireless connection have be nothing but stable as long as I have have it . my apartment be small so it be not difficult to blanket it with wifus signal . I do not have a 802.11 n device so I can not comment on that . I have a roku box connect directly to the unit and it very rarely if ever drop off . when it do I know it be either comcast or netflix with the issue -lrb- s -rrb- . this unit do seem to have a incredible list of feature built-in . it be like the manufacturer just go through a long check list of every feature imaginable and dump it in . I have only barely scratch the surface on all the feature either because I do not need they or because I could not figure out how to set it up -lrb- see the bad -rrb- . I find out later it be fact possible to use this unit soley as a cable modem , bypass the nat\/router functionality . -- the Bad -- if you ever want to actually use this device for anything outside of the default functionality put on you googling hat and get ready to spend some time : it be quite difficult to figure out what anything be just from the interface and the pdf manual have very minimal explanation of even what the various abbreviation mean never mind how to set they up . for instance I want to utilize the `` guest wifus '' feature so I could set up a old pc with a wifus card that do not support WPA -lrb- I want a wep along side my primary wpa network -rrb- . it be not that critical and I do not want to spend very much time on it but I could not seem to set this up . I be sure if I have spend several hour search the internet and experiment I could have come up with a solution . but this should not be necessary . either the uus should be intuitive enough to set it up , it should be document how to set it up step-by-step or at the very least there should a link some where on Zoom 's site to a third party site that describe how to make it happen . the same go for use this unit purely as a cable modem so I could use my own preferred broadband router -lrb- a linksy with tomatoe firmware -rrb- . I browse the various setting , look up abbreviation in wikipedium . then I google those abbreviation . eventually I find the setting and successfully set up my seperate router -lrb- I find the real solution on a random blog talk about a different modem ... -rrb- . this should not be necessary and be not something 99.99 % of costumer be go to bother with . -lrb- the setting be call `` RgPassThrough '' . recommend disable of wifus , dhcp and NAT , and put the MAC address of the router you want . I never would have guess `` RgPassThrough '' . -rrb- I would also mention the apparent lack of any way to update this modem 's firmware . perhaps this be a regulation put on they by the cable industry but it just seem inexcusable to I in this day and age of network exploit and malicious bot roam the internet . -- Neutral -- since I do not know who be at fault for this issue I be not blame the modem directly : it take more than a hour and at least two different comcast representative to successfully activate this modem . there be only so much the representative could tell I but it sound like it just do not want to talk to comcast 's end . the activation be attempt over and over again for 45 minute or so before it finally just inexplicably start to work . the representative have no explnation . I later attempt to activate a different Motorola modem at the same location and have the exact same issue which lead I to believe it be not the modem but rather the cabling or whatever software\/hardware comcast have on they end . it be very , very frustrating -lrb- never do get the second modem to work -rrb- . once the zoom be activate it could deactivated\/activated instantly with no issue . it be just that initial attempt that be time consuming . again , this could be unique to my region and\/or my particular comcast office for all I know . I live in northern California just outside of Sacramento . -- conclusion -- I be give this device four star for the lack of documentation and non-intuitive web interface . I like the list of feature and as far as I can tell be very effective as a cable modem\/broadband router . +669 CableModem POS 4 I buy this after realize that I should have buy my own cable modem year ago to avoid the $ 7\/month rental fee from Comcast for they lousy equipment . I get this up and run with a short phone call to Comcast technical support so they can enter the modem 's MAC address into they system . the setup be easy ; the indicator light on the front be fairly intuitive so you have a idea what the problem be if you internet be not work quite the way it should . the modem can also be access from any web browser on a computer on the local network -lrb- ... -rrb- , provide lot of information about the quality of you internet connection , system uptime , etc. . this be helpful information when I do have a issue with intermittent internet outage and I be able to report this to Comcast to get the problem fix -lrb- it be a problem on they end , not with the Motorola surfboard -rrb- . good price now , too ! this will pay for itself in under a year of use . +504 CableModem POS 5 this modem work like a charm . I buy this to replace my Comcast rental . I have to call Comcast and give they the MAC ID that be on the box of the modem . afterwards , the installation be a breeze . I just plug in the coax and then power it on . when all the light stabilize , it be good to go . stabilization take about 5-7 min . I actually get 1.5 time more speed than my previous modem . +906 CableModem POS 4 use this with WOW cable network internet service . save my 5 buck a month . one significant issue however . even though the first rep I talk to before i buy it , say I could use ANY DOCSIS 3.0 modem with WOW , when I go to have it authorize with they a couple of week later , the first person I talk to say they could not do it with the number I give they off the outside of the unit . he say they computer be not accept what I give he . he tell I to hook it up , open up the modem menu on the computer and get I different number , or to call motorolum and have they help I , or both . which I do . after the call to motorlum I get some new number to give the WOW people . of course , the new number do not work . fortunately this second wow operator seem to know more than the first kid and indeed , manage to make the FIRST number I give she from the outside of the unit work . I do not know the detail or how , I be not a techie , she just make it work and say she be sorry for waste my time with all the other garbage and the call to motorolum , etc. . apparently this unit be so new , that the number on outside of the unit be not immediately recognize by they system as a acceptable modem and she have to manually sort of `` force '' the system to take they . I do not really know . maybe it be some sort of voodoo magic , but she make it work after some significant time futse around on she end . she say the 6120 , the older version of this unit be immediately recognizable to they system and she be do load of they in a matter of seconds . so , my advice to you , especially if you be a WOW customer , be to get the damn older unit , the 6120 and make it easier on yourself and you WOW rep. now it work just fine . so all be good in my little corner of Ohio . it be just a pain in the butt to activate it . +305 CableModem POS 4 the modem be serve it be purpose . I feel that we receive a quality product and the price be reasonable . a friend of mine be the one who find this modem base on it ' review and rating . +262 CableModem POS 5 this modem be work fine with my comcast isp . I do not try for other provider . I will recommend this product . +812 CableModem POS 5 this modem work great . installation be easy . just connect thing in the order suggest and wah-la all work great . I have this out in my garage in a home entertainment panel box . the modem route through a apple airport and a cisco sg100d-08 gigabit switcher . all 5 computer , hp printer , 2 xbox , tv , Directv , and blu-ray player all access the internet without any problem . Modem run 24\/7 unless power go out . be go on 2 month now without a hitch . would highly recommend . if the unit be in house some people may not like the brightness of the blue lead light but since mine be in the garage it do not bother I . I only say something because when I come home at night and open the garage I can see the blue lead light from 50 foot away . +652 CableModem POS 5 this modem work great as a replacement for the lease modem from comcast . I recommend buy this model and never have to pay another monthly fee from comcast . it will pay for itself in less than a year ! be use it for 3 month now and no problem whatsoever and it be easy to set up just call comcast to activate and you be all set . +741 CableModem POS 4 I replace a old Ambit unit which seem to be over heating and cause connection issue to the LinkSys cm100 and its be work great for the past few day . I have to call into the isp and have they provision the new modem with be MAC Address and then all be work great . I have notice it handle traffic great , my connection be consistent and most off all I have not lose a internet connection at the modem in a few day ... finger still cross . so far , it seem like a sound product . great price refurbish and I keep the old Ambit one -lrb- which they charge we $ 70 for 3 year ago -rrb- just in case . I give it 4 star because it would have be a great 5 star if it support docsy 3.0 too . +122 CableModem POS 5 as a Comcast customer , I be a little hesitant to buy this modem after read all the review . however , I need a new one really bad because the old modem just keep on resetting ; also want to see how much speed improvement the DOCSIS 3.0 get . so I take the gamble and order one . I immediately open the box when it get deliver to my doorstep . plug in the power , wait a few minute for it to completely boot up , then plug Ethernet cable to the modem and directly to my laptop . Unplugged the coax cable from old modem and plug into the sb6121 modem . no surprise here , yellow warning icon . no connection . call Comcast and provide the MAC address -lrb- Comcast do not use customer s\/n for they setup -rrb- , but no luck as the rep tell I the router be show online but will not communicate with they server . still no luck after a couple of try , so she say to leave the modem on and she will call back to check in 30 min . 30 min pass . she call and give it another attempt ... nothing ! she then politely apologize about the situation and say the unit be probably a defect , suggest I return the item to get a new unit . -lrb- really ??? I think in the back of my mind -rrb- so I brush she off by thank she for she help , while tell myself this unit be perfectly fine . after I hang up the phone , I decide to power it off , turn back on and leave it on overnight -lrb- as other mention that method work for they -rrb- . little do you know . after power back on , I hit f5 to refresh my browser page . the rainbow color GOOGLE logo with a search bar underneath show up in the middle of the browser window . finally up and run !! quickly do a speedtest and get 14mbp download speed -lrb- subscribe for 10mbp -rrb- . it be blaze fast !! very stable and have not have to reset the modem after 1 month . +751 CableModem POS 5 purchase this cable modem to save $ 5\/mo on my cable bill . product be easy to install ; just give it be MAC to the Charter Cable tech on the phone and he modify my account . it will pay for itself in less than 6 month . +275 CableModem POS 5 I buy this device to use with Comcast Cable Internet Service . it work fine right out of the box . if you have Comcast and need a DOCSIS 3.0 Modem , this device be for you . +846 CableModem POS 5 have it install with Comcast service , and it work flawlessly so far . I use it with a Medialink router , and everything be compatible right out of the box . if I have any problem with the modem I 'll update , but so far it be perform as advertise and there be no problem with installation +477 CableModem POS 5 Works as expect . excellent as a splitter and as a booster . I use only two out , I terminate the other two . +321 CableModem POS 5 if you get a crappy internet or cable signal , this be the tool for you . I be shock at the difference this thing make . for more than two year my internet connection would go in and out my cable reception would be lousy . I even have the cable company come out twice and they never fix it . and then right after I hook this up there be a dramatic change for the better . I do speed test before and after and consistently this device increase my Internet speed and stabilize my connection . it be like I be in a whole new level of geekdom now . I love this thing ! +841 CableModem POS 5 unknown to I , my comcast-issue atlanta-scientific modem -lrb- for the use of which I be pay Comcast every month -rrb- be apparently the source of the ridiculously slow and painfully inconsistent connection speed we have be get . one speed test would come in at 10mbp , and the next at 600kbp . usually it would come in at 1.2 to 2.5 mbp - a mere fraction of the bandwidth for which we be pay . after a little online research , I decide to just try buy my own modem - it certainly be not go to make the problem any worse . the worst part of the entire process be just be on hold with Comcast for 15 minute . once they get to I in the phone queue , it take about 5 minute to get the new modem up and run . but whoa ! what a difference it make ! the day before installation , we get we typically inconsistent speedtest with a mean of about 2 mbp . as soon as the new modem be up and run , we test at 21 mbp , and there have be no fluctuation since . every speed test report 21mbp . wow ! what a improvement ! Skype video have go from frustratingly slow and pixilated with lousy audio , to crystal clear and clean . file download in a flash . and the connection speed seem to be very stable . if you old modem be let you down , do not hesitate to buy one of these . no ill can come of it . +880 CableModem POS 4 I purchase this particular modem base on some on-line research . my old modem be a DOCSIS 1.0 modem therefore limit to 12mp of download . I decide to upgrade to a DOCSIS 2.0 modem to gain more speed . this modem fit the bill as far as speed and value . I have be use it for over a month and it have function normally . I have use other Linksys product and be very satisfied with this modem . +158 CableModem POS 5 I recently switch computer service provider and when tell I need this type modem , I really shop around before find a excellent price on Amazon . this purchase teach I to check Amazon FIRST !!!!! +218 CableModem POS 5 this product cm100 -lrb- docsys 2.0 -rrb- compare to my old Linksys -lrb- Docsys 1.1 -rrb- router be amazing . go from 4 down 700k up through router to 10 down 2 up through router with 20 down\/4up when connect straight to modem . just when you first connect it up , turn off computer and do not connect you router . power up computer and Modem . call isp with MAC address , then power everything down , connect router and turn everything back on . good to go . +811 CableModem POS 5 I initially purchase the Motorola sb6120 due to the high number of good review . about 10 % of the review do not work with comcast and I be part of that 10 % . the ubee ddm3513 modem to date have 1 bad review and be likely because of a single bad modem vs bad hardware decision like the Motorola . so I give the ubee ddm3513 a try and it just work . no problem . Comcast would occasionally disconnect -lrb- not the modem -rrb- and this device re-establish connection much faster than my older rent modem . I watch Hulu often and the connection would re-establish before Hulu would need to rebuffer . I know that the connection be lose because I be multi-tasking and search the web while watch Hulu . searching would freeze and I would notice the modem light show a disconnection but Hulu be still run . that be just amazing in my book +964 CableModem POS 5 Perfect . Works as advertise . Works with Comcast . give I a 10mb boost over my old 2.0 modem with no change in service . +499 CableModem POS 5 the Motorola signal booster have be excellent . I have 6 tv set with a very long cable run . the Motorola signal booster have be a great help . I now get a clear strong signal on all 6 tv set . I be very happy with this product . by Gregg L. Friedman MD , Psychiatrist , Hallandale Beach , fl +51 CableModem POS 5 Works great and have not have to power down like the modem from the cable company . love not have to interrupt what we be surf for to reboot . +464 CableModem NEG 2 Got first sb6121 unit in prep for move to new house . Comcast tech groan when he hear I have `` Motorola DOCSIS 3 '' because of they extraordinarily long set-up time . Tech wait around for more than 70min after plugging-in modem to coax & power . keep cycling power-on , sync ` ing , then power-off - repeat . Tech claim be download firmware . as a `` Geek Class 5 ~ 6 '' -lrb- of 10 -rrb- who be I to argue as he do this for living . he be on phone with Comcast office with acronym , blah-blah while look at diagnostic tool . Modem would link-up with Internet long enough to see Comcast registration\/activation webpage , only to shut-down again . grrrr ! finally tech say must be bad unit - replace . Got rental `` Ubee 3.0 '' from van & I be on in -lrb- 5 min . Amazon to rescue with great replacement service . last night started-over with 2nd new Mtrola sb6121 - same thing ! go to bed with unit connect to coax & power hope any `` firmware '' download would sort-themselve by morning . unit stable in morning , until I plugged-in cat5e to computer - cycle back ! grrrr ! contact Comcast . give they the basics you would expect : serial # , MAC # , account info . they register modem detail on they side . they instruct I to reconnect Mtrla & my computer -lrb- include router between -rrb- . do so . launch browser . activation page stable & hit authorization . Modem cycle ! -lrb- `` oh carp '' , I think -rrb- ... but thank God . . when modem come back-up authorization complete & now stable & equivalent speed as rental ubee . be my ~ 4th modem and by far the most aggravating process ! who be to blame ? Motorola , Tech , Comcast system ? no idea ... at least work now . better luck to you +494 CableModem POS 5 I be a long time Comcast hsus customer , have use the Motorola sb4100 and sb5101 cable modem for my DOCSIS 1 & 2 cable service . when DOCSIS 3 be implement in my area , I purchase the Motorola sb6101 cable modem direct from Amazon -lrb- not 3rd party vendor -rrb- as it be on the Comcast approve modem list . the product arrive in new condition and I swap it out with my old sb5101 modem , without any problem . I call Comcast hsus customer service and give they the MAC address of the new sb6121 modem and it be provision and online in less than five minute . the datum speed be stable and rock solid . very satisfy with this purchase from Amazon . +877 CableModem NEU 3 unfortunately , I do not get a better wireless router . I have a D-Link 625 with a booster antenna . I expect this unit to give I more wireless range . it do not , in fact the range be pretty disappointing . I be hope I could my booster antenna on this unit , but there be no connector . the cable modem work fine . +650 CableModem POS 5 I be worry when shop for a cable modem that I would not find one compatible with xfinity , this be the same brand they use and it work perfectly once they initialize it . no problem so far and I do not think there will be any since xfinity would not want to purchase a inferior product themselves . +336 CableModem NEG 1 absolutely terrible ! do not reach all area of we house -lrb- and its not a big house -rrb- and cant . handle multiple device . im disappointed and we be go to bee look for something better ! +112 CableModem POS 5 I purchase the Cisco-Linksys Cable Modem to use with the Cisco-Linksys E2000 Advanced Wireless-N Router and my new Charter cable internet service . modem and router have come such a long way in the past 10 year and my last experience with a Linksys router have work well , but have be more difficult to setup than other router at the time . I most recently have a combination modem and router in one device -lrb- not from Cisco-Linksys -rrb- and find that I be constantly have to reset it to get wifus connectivity . thus , I do not mind purchase each component separately , especially when they be so easy to setup . I have be use this solution for 3 month and have have no problem with connectivity or signal strength . +496 CableModem POS 5 this motorolum coax signal boster be well make and do improve my video signal . it do not come with a power cable -lrb- coax -rrb- , 75 ohm termination cap and wost of all no instruction ! I search on Google and be able to download the factory Motorola instruction . there be several inportant point make in the instruction book that should be take into consideration before attempt to hook it up . DO NOT boost the signal to your modem or router ! if you be not go to use all four output , order the 75 OHM termination cap at the same time . +186 CableModem POS 4 the product install fairly easily , except Comcast could not see it - though it do not help to mistake a d for a zero on the id\/serial number when I call to report it as not work . -lrb- Comcast have to `` register '' the new one and remove the replace one from its database . -rrb- it do not seem as hot -lrb- temperature -rrb- compare with what some review have say . I really have not notice any speed improvement , then again , I have not be streaming video or download a lot of datum , and most of my use be wireless which be the primary reason for anything slow . I mostly get it so I would be ipv6 ready , and for the docsy 3 . x -lrb- Comcast keep call about upgrade , and they may insulate user from have to be ipv6 capable , similar to you router give you computer a IP that be different than the one you isp give you connection\/modem . -rrb- I receive it in a appropriate time . packaging be real simple . the only thing I really do not like be that the activity light flash orange -lrb- the bottom lead in the product 's photo -rrb- when orange normally tell I `` warn '' . I give the product 4 of 5 due to the orange led and because I have not notice any speed improvement . -lrb- I should have run a before\/after speed test ! -rrb- +804 CableModem POS 5 do not rent a modem from Comcast . this modem be much better than any that Comcast will rent to you at $ 8 a month ! the only drawback be have to call Comcast . it take I nearly a hour on the phone with Comcast and I have to talk to 4 different people , just to swap the old modem for the new one . but $ 85 and a hour on the phone with Comcast be still a deal . this be a excellent , state-of-the-art modem . if you use high-speed internet and\/or stream video , I highly recommend this modem . even if all you do be surf the internet once in a while and use email occasionally , I still recommend this modem . +575 CableModem POS 5 the install setup be easy for I and I be not that puter literate . I have to call Comcast after they screen info -lrb- name and phone # -rrb- still would not connect to the internet . I have to give the tech the MAC Code of the new modem . they have I up and run in about 2 minute . the modem be work great so far without a problem . no need reset or loss of internet . I would recommend this modem to you for sure . it replace a Motorola 5120 that I use for 5 year and still work great . run warmer than my old 5120 but not a issue at all . you will like this modem it be solid and reliable . +64 CableModem POS 5 I be use the sb6121 cable modem with Comcast cable . setup be fast and easy . plug in the box in place of the old one , and call Comcast . the service representative know what he be do . it take about 20 min from when I call to everything work properly -lrb- include hold time -rrb- . Make sure to have the MAC address handy when you call . for this packaging , the MAC be on the sticker on the bottom of the unit , as well as inside the cardboard packaging on the sticker on a paper strip . the indicator on the box be great . the receive and transmit indicator be bright blue if it detect a docsis 3.0 connection , green if it detect a docsis 2.0 connection . these receive , transmit , and online indicator be steady if connect properly . very easy to know the status at a glance from across the room . a note : on initial powerup -lrb- before call Comcast -rrb- , the receive \/ transmit light settle on green , and that have I wonder what be go on . it turn out that Comcast have to get the correct profile download on the box , and the right configuration setup at they end before the indicator be meaningful . +17 CableModem NEG 2 I have have my modem for 2 year and it just now conk out on I for no reason -lrb- everytime I would try to upload to the internet , it would reset my connection -rrb- . I suppose I still come out ahead of pay $ 5\/mo in rent to Comcast , but I have hope this product would last longer than this . I have be optimistic about Zoom give the review , but do not plan to buy from they again . +630 CableModem NEG 1 purchase this item to replace my `` end-of-life '' cable modem and have nothing but problem . it disconnect every couple of hour and have to be reset . this be not very convenient when work from home and be downright impossible when I be away from home and try to access my system remotely . my internet provider tell I they have have nothing but problem with this brand of modem and they find it to be incompatible with they system -- even though the manufacturer claim it be . +40 CableModem POS 5 order this modem as it be on Comcast 's approve list with 3 star and have receive good rating and review on other site . it replace we modem that be past useful age and keep drop the connection . very easy to setup . install it , call Comcast , give they the MAC number and that be it . no more disconnect and it seem to have add some speed to we connection . would suggest that it be install where there be plenty of air circulation . tend to run a little warm . Vendor ship the product promptly . pleased with my purchase decision . +311 CableModem POS 5 this product ship quickly and arrive in good condition . I purchase this so I do not have to rent a modem from my isp . it be a great modem and have operate well since I hook it up . a good brand and functional with most isp , I recommend it as a good modem and a way to save money with you isp . +378 CableModem NEG 1 I order this in May . it be now August . I have have trouble with this product since I get it and have call the modem maker tech desk for help . I be tell to contact Comcast about my internet connection . Comcast tell I they would charge I to come out and look . after one recent day of over a dozen drop connection , I have Comcast come out . they tell I the modem be defective . so now , I not only have a charge from Comcast , it be too late to return this $ 70 piece of junk . and when I try to go through Amazon to contact the seller about this purchase , I be block by a message that it be `` too late '' . +780 CableModem POS 5 I buy this modem when I move into my new apartment . I be read review that some people could not get this modem to work with Comcast as they isp but I have not have any issue so far . during my research I buy this modem for three reason : - DOCSIS 3.0 - simplicity - affordable like the other reviewer I use a Medialink Wireless N Router - 802.11 n and they make a lovely pair . +266 CableModem POS 5 when COMCAST decide to increase they cable modem rental fee 66 % in November , to $ 5\/month , I decide to do something about it . this $ 68 Linksys Cable Modem , Model CM100 , be exactly what you need . you can check on the COMCAST website for a whole list of compatible modem . I decide on this one since I have a Linksys router -lrb- wrt54g -rrb- . this installation be very simple . remove the COMCAST modem . someone in another review say you need to remove you router temporarily for this installation , so I do that and connect the cm100 directly to the ethernet connector on the computer . once you do that , you need to call COMCAST and give they the s\/n and the MAC Address , both of which be print on the bottom of the Linksys cm100 unit . they enter you new info in they system and you be up and run . it really be as simple as that . you can then go ahead and reconnect you router . I find I have to power off\/on the cm100 , router , and computer and I no longer have to pay COMCAST monthly . +269 CableModem POS 5 I decide to switch to Comcast xfinity internet in my area as they offer the fastest speed available , faster than what I be get with AT&T; Uverse . as I look into extra fee , I notice Comcast would charge $ 7\/month for rent they modem . I figure I will have they as my isp for at least a year , so I do not hesitate in skip they modem rental and buy my own . Amazon ship and deliver the modem fast . once I get it , I simply plug a coax cable from the splitter in my closet to the modem . I then plug in a rj45 cable from the modem to my router . I power it on , call Comcast to activate my service -lrb- basically give they the MAC address of the modem -rrb- , and I be online within 20 minute of open the box the modem come in . very simple to install , and no problem whatsoever so far . +447 CableModem POS 5 excellent product . it be ver easy to set-up , work great . it be highly recommend . this item will save I money with the cable company . +343 CableModem POS 4 I get this because my old modem that I own be reboot randomly and daily . that be kind of expect after 11 year of heavy use . I like the size and form factor of this modem . the light be not annoyingly bright , which be great because it be place by a tv . my first complaint be that it be difficult to get this register with Comcast -lrb- not they fault -rrb- . it take about 30 minute to register it because the modem be not recognize the signal from Comcast . it take a couple reboot to finally get it to register , but it have work perfectly since then . my other complaint be that the material that the modem be make of feel pretty cheap . I would just like to know that if it fall , it would survive . I do not think I 'll be test that though . move on , the speed be incredible ! even test it with my old internet package -lrb- 12 mbp down , slow , I know -rrb- , it would get a consistent 24 mbp . then , I upgrade my package , and switch to a bundle . now , I have 30 mbp , and I get around 35 mbp . so , I be happy with this modem . Buyer beware : save the box if you want to be able to register this with Comcast . they need the MAC address and serial number -lrb- all number -rrb- from the box . +525 CableModem POS 5 substitute this surfboard for the $ 7 \/ month Comcast modem . take only a quick call to Comcast to activate . regularly clock at 21 - 22 gbit with they internet service ! old Verizon dsl Clocked at 1.3 gbit - max . will not miss that ! +818 CableModem POS 5 I update my Motorola modem from DOCSIS 2.0 to a Motorola DOCSIS 3.0 .

I think I be purchase a new modem , but when the box arrive I see the refurbish labeling on the box ! I install it very quickly and it perform like new . I hope it last as long as the dsl modem that I have when I use AT&T; for Internet access !!!! I have all the download\/upload speed I could ask for with this modem ! I know Amazon will back it even though it be a refurbish unit !!! +853 CableModem POS 5 I have use linksy modem and router for over a decade now and they be as easy and reliable as they ever be . I get amazing download speed from this device and everyone I have install they for have note the speed be over what the isp be advertising . I have personally never have a problem with any of they to date . +327 CableModem POS 5 about a week ago I upgrade to Comcasts Extreme 50 internet service however my old rent modem that I use with Performance internet be only give I about 25 mbp down so I go to Comcast & swap it for a new Cisco modem . hooked that up & I have the full speed I pay for . meanwhile I check Amazon & find this sb6121 & it take a week to get here . hook it up , go through the activation page & now I be get 61.71 mbp down & 11.52 mbp up which be the same speed I be get with the rent Cisco modem . Yay , now I can give the rent modem back to Comcast !! I would not hesitate to buy this modem again as it be really a good one for the price . Update : 6 week later & this modem be still work great . the service outage I be get with the old rent modem have disappear . the sb6121 have yet to lose it be connection to the internet . get this modem . you will love it !! oh & the online activation be a breeze ... +535 CableModem POS 5 I be one of the first to get a Motorola SB6120 -- and be very much satisfied with the ease of set-up , the awesome speed , the functionality , and the workmanship . but , like all electronic gizmo , they tend to crap out after a few year . when my sb6120 start drop upstream channel , I look to Motorola once again -- right here at Amazon -- and find the new Motorola sb6121 . after check the spec , I find that the new sb6121 Model have the latest ipv6 technology -lrb- higher bandwidth capability -rrb- that be not available on the sb6120 . the newer ipv6 technology allow connection speed up to 160 mbp. , against the 150 mbp of the sb6120 . ipv6 be not in common usage yet , but it will be pretty soon -- and the sb6121 will be ready with the fastest speed available !! the new sb6121 be a super-easy set-up , and the connection speed be fast and steady . compare the DOCSIS 3 sb6120 to the newer sb6121 : 1 . - the sb6121 be smaller -lrb- height and depth be smaller , width be greater -rrb- . 2 . - the sb6121 run slightly -lrb- average about 5 degree f -rrb- warmer than the sb6120 . 3 . - connection speed , latency , and jitter be better with the sb6121 than the sb6120 -- and WAY faster than ANY DOCSIS 2 modem , regardless of manufacturer . some tip I learn from use the Motorola DOCSIS 3 modem with 2 different -lrb- d-link dir-655 and Netgear wnr3500l -rrb- `` n '' - speed Wireless Routers : the sb6120 run coolest when mount to a wall or other vertical surface , and space approximately 1\/2-inch away from the surface . this allow a adequate air flow that be necessary to keep the Modem cool . mount with the wire point straight down , the sb6120 run at about 95 degree f in a 78 degree room when mount away from a wall . temperature measure with Mastercool Infra-Red Laser Thermocouple gun -lrb- available at Amazon -rrb- . the new sb6121 be smaller than the sb 6120 , and it run a little bit warmer -lrb- 98-100 f -rrb- , even when mount the same way as the sb6120 . I suggest that you mount the new sb6121 1\/2 '' away from the wall as well , but with the wire point straight back . whatever you do , DO not stack anything on ANY Modem or Router !! both of these device give off heat and electrical interference , and will perform they best when space about 4 foot apart , which keep the interference from overlap and kill the Wireless Router 's range . when you get you internet connection go , go to the Motorola Modem 's Home Page : sample snapshot of my sb6121 = Cable Modem Status Signal address Configuration Logs Open Source help this page provide information about the current upstream and downstream signal status of you Cable Modem . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- downstream Bonding Channel Value Channel ID 49 50 57 58 frequency 837000000 hz 843000000 hz 861000000 hz 867000000 hz signal to Noise Ratio 37 db 37 db 38 db 38 db downstream modulation qam256 qam256 qam256 QAM256 Power LevelThe downstream power level reading be a snapshot take at the time this page be request . please reload\/refresh this Page for a new reading -1 dbmv -1 dbmv -1 dbmv -1 dbmv Upstream Bonding Channel Value Channel ID 3 1 2 frequency 36100000 hz 23300000 hz 29600000 Hz Ranging Service ID 7425 7425 7425 Symbol Rate 5.120 Msym\/sec 2.560 Msym\/sec 5.120 Msym\/sec Power Level 45 dbmv 45 dbmv 45 dbmv Upstream modulation -lrb- 3 -rrb- qpsk -lrb- 3 -rrb- 64qam -lrb- 3 -rrb- qpsk -lrb- 2 -rrb- 16qam -lrb- 3 -rrb- 64qam -lrb- 3 -rrb- qpsk -lrb- 3 -rrb- 64QAM Ranging Status Success Success Success Signal stats -lrb- codeword -rrb- Bonding Channel Value Channel ID 49 50 57 58 total unerrored codeword 1457238562 1457238645 1457237949 1457238150 total correctable codeword 17 26 23 27 total uncorrectable codeword 1031 937 1682 1468 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status | Signal | address | Configuration | Logs | Open Source | help copyright 1997-2008 it should give a snapshot of the spec for your modem . you will be look for 4 downstream channel that read SNR @ 37-38 db and the power level at around 0 dbmv . upstream power level on all 3 bonding channel should read around 45-50 dbmv . a deviation of 5 from any of these figure indicate a problem . if the Modem 's signal be solid and constant , but the power level reading be 5 point off in either direction , check you outdoor splitter or tap first , because they tend to crap out when they be expose to heat for long period . the operating temperature for splitter and tap be only 140 degree F. maximum , and that temperature be easily reach in direct sunlight , even when enclose . those of you who live in hot climate may notice that the Modem 's downstream power level drop off 1 or 2 point when the outside temp get up to 110 f or higher . do not panic !! in case of rapture , dial 1-800-oh Jesus . ; -rrb- -rrb- I find the rca dh24sp high-bandwidth -lrb- 5-2400mhz -rrb- 2-way signal splitter -lrb- available at Amazon -rrb- to be a excellent handler of the high-speed signal of Cable , Satellite , and hdtv signal . it be a `` 2-way '' splitter , so the power flow equally in either direction , enable MUCH higher upload speed . if you need a tap for unequal cable length , a CommScope SV-DC-6G Digital tap work well for I . for strong and clear Wireless range and reception , use only Category 6 -lrb- shield -rrb- ethernet cable -lrb- available at Amazon -rrb- between you Modem and Router , and between you router and Main computer . good Luck !! +603 CableModem POS 5 this modem be easy to setup . it be give I blaze fast internet -lrb- 100\/1000 -rrb- , and just keep run ! so far so good ! +988 CableModem POS 5 I replace a older modem with this one . after Comcast set they program for it , there be no problem . I would recommend it and would buy it again . +287 CableModem POS 4 no problem , work great with cox internet service . have about 2 week and still have never have to reset . good in my book . +649 CableModem NEG 1 this modem be not compactable with Comcast . it be not on they approve modem list and can not be activate . would have be nice if this be mention in the product description or tech spec . +599 CableModem POS 5 want to replace the modem that Comcast provide . it will take several month to break even , but in the meantime I be enjoy much faster and consistent speed with every device -lrb- ipad , iPhone , Apple TV , and a Windows 7 pc . very noticeable difference . I just have to call Comcast support and let they know I have the device . +265 CableModem POS 5 this be the 2-port version of the Motorola Signal Booster so who need one of these thing ? anyone who be have difficulty receive a consistent cable tv or cable modem signal be a candidate for this amp , but first check with you cable company to confirm that they have do all they can , in term of get high quality cable and splitter into you home . if they have do that , and you still notice frequent outage of you cable internet service , or pixelated -lrb- distorted -rrb- image on live or recorded tv show from cable , then you may very well need a drop amp like this one . the amplifier be particularly helpful if you be splitting a cable signal come into you house to multiple room for multiple tv feed -lrb- and this be perfectly legal to do , per the Cable Act of 1992 -rrb- . any time you split a cable signal , you lose approximately 3 db -lrb- decibel -rrb- of signal strength . split a signal enough time and it can cause you to lose you cable modem feed or get sporadic distortion on you digital cable channel . insert a cable amplifier like this into you cable feed right where it enter the home and it will boost the signal enough to survive multiple split and , in most case , will allow you to enjoy a glitch free cable tv signal throughout you home . why be this amp 's `` two-way '' or `` bi-directional '' feature important ? a two-way feed be necessary in order to support a cable modem -lrb- upload\/download -rrb- and to support interactive cable service such as ppv -lrb- pay per view -rrb- . this amp will not work miracle . again , always check you incoming signal , cable and connector quality first . but if you have do all that and be still have trouble , this little cable signal amp can be a real life-saver . it also work fine for OTA -lrb- over the air -rrb- hdtv signal distribution , but only if you be start with a decent quality signal to begin with . a full review of the Motorola Signal Booster be available on big Picture Big Sound 's web site . +252 CableModem NEG 1 this be a update after own the modem for just over 30 day : originally give 4 Stars , I have reduce the rating to 1 star . the modem die after a month of use . that leave I stick without service for several day until the weekend could pass and the cable company technician check what the problem be with my Internet Service . after a great deal of checking and cross checking , a new Motorola modem be put in by my cable guy . they sell it for $ 75 -lrb- as oppose to Amazon 's $ 50 -rrb- but offer 1 year on-site warranty with immediate replacement and installation of a problem unit - not so bad a deal if you really need to be online for certain . the new Motorola Surfboard sb5101 be instantly recognize by my Linksys router - so the problem describe below with instalation of the Linksys cable modem wre not encounter . it strike I as odd that there would be less compatability between a Linksys router and modem than between a Linksys router and Motorola modem . I get a LinkSys modem because of the good review , but also because I think it would `` play nice '' with my LinkSys router . my router be the WRT610N dual n-band so it be pretty good . when I get the modem I plug it in and give the MAC Address to my cable company . however , I could not get on the itnernet ; my cable company supply modem have work fine - I just get tire of pay the rental . they have I direct connect the modem to the computer - no problem . the problem be with the router ! the modem and router do not play nice together at all ! since my router be just over a year old , my call to LinkSys let I know they could tell I how to configure the router to get it work ... but it would cost $ 29 . to do so . they product do not work so well together , so they charge to make they work ! I refuse to pay . I get out my LinkSys Router CD , look up my router login and password and other info , then re-install the router . the reinstallation process fix it up so it get on the internet . if you get this modem and have a router , be prepare for a little hassle get it go . first impression of the modem after get it operational with the router be that it seem to provide faster internet access than the old modem from the calbe company do - though only marginally so , but still enopugh to notice . this seem to be a excellent modem and work really well . but , if you have a LinkSys wrt610n -lrb- and probably any other LinkSys router -rrb- be prepare for a little extra work to get the modem go . +570 CableModem POS 5 my service provider -lrb- Comcast -rrb- advise modem replacement . my original Motorola surfboard never give I a problem . since I own my modem , I buy this new surfboard modem as it be replacement . order and receive be easy and fast . when I get it , I connect it and call Comcast with my EIN number and Model number . Comcast could not initialize my modem , however , and send I to visit my local office . it turn out that Comcast need to know that I own my modem , rather than lease one of they 's . when advise in my next call , I be up quickly , and surprisingly , the Comcast rep be capable and friendly . +139 CableModem NEG 1 like most here , I have purchase this modem to replace rental modem from Comcast -lrb- $ 7\/month -rrb- . like few here , when I set the modem up , it would keep resete itself in 2-4 minute . when modem be only connect to the cable , it be look good , all light be on , but as soon as I connect the computer either directly or through the router , the connection would not last long , light would turn off and connection procedure would restart , then they would stay on for few minute and whole cycle would repeat . I be unable to finish the self registration because the modem would restart itself around the same time I submit the first screen , on few occasion I get through to the 2nd or once even 3rd screen . I have try with two laptop either directly or via modem but to no awail . after read review from similarly affect people here and elsewhere on the web , even though it may well be just the one instance I get , I have decide to return the modem completely and not ask for the replacement . instead , I have order the same modem I be rent from Comcast and have no problem with : `` ubee ddm3513 Docsis 3.0 Cable Modem '' . it should arrive today so I be really curious if I make the right choice . I wish Comcast have some kind of ` lease to buy ' program or option to purchase the equipment you be rent . UPDATE : ubee dm3513 modem work like charm right out of the box , with self registration I be up and run in about 10 minute . +554 CableModem POS 5 I buy this as a upgrade for my old Motorola DOCSIS 2.0 modem since cox recommend DOCSIS 3.0 for the Preferred cable internet package I be on . I be hope for a small boost in speed but I have find that I have get up to a 50 % boost in both upload and download speed ! it seem that cox use bond channel for Preferred and I simply be not take advantage of that since DOCSIS 2.0 do not support bond channel usage . overall , if you currently have a DOCSIS 2.0 modem , I recommend you check with you cable internet provider to see if a DOCSIS 3.0 modem be recommend . you might be miss out ! +395 CableModem POS 5 I be happy I rely on Amazon review and buy this cable modem to replace the lease one by Comcast . in 10 month you get you money back from the lease . in my case , it have be extremely reliable , plug and play , activation be a breeze . I get the exact speed I be pay for unlike what I be get in the past with the lease gear . highly recommend . +695 CableModem POS 5 this Cable Modem work just as advertise , it be easy to install and just work . I be get the best download and upload of datum I have ever see from the COX network . +580 CableModem POS 5 I have 2 house set up with 2 different cable company , both of which use the Motorola SB6121 Modem . initially , I use a Motorola Modem with a 1.0 docsis at my Florida home but internet service be intermittent . I replace the modem with the sb6121 and the problem be cure . when Mediacom start charge a monthly fee at my Iowa home , I immediately purchase another sb6121 and return the Mediacom Modem . the Motorola sb6121 perform flawlessly in both Florida and Iowa home and that be the name of the game : reliability . +301 CableModem POS 4 Modem work great . nice compact size , approve for Comcast , and meet the latest protocol for the fastest available broadband . it would be better however if one could specify which cable provider they intend to use to avert problem with a unusable MAC address . in this digital age that should be very easy to do . it would have be a real hassle if the installer would have have to come out twice -lrb- new service so Comcast do not give I the option of a self-install -rrb- . +474 CableModem POS 5 do not listen to the people say this wont work with Comcast . it be now on they list of approve modem and it work great . I be pay for 15 mb and hit 20 on a regular basis on speedtest.net . great product totally worth it . also my 20 mb be over wireless have not try it wire , it may be even faster . +21 CableModem POS 5 I upgrade to the sb6121 from a wanky , older Motorola SBG900 Surfboard Gateway device , and the Doscis 3 have make all the difference in the world . accord to online speed test , I have more than quadruple my internet download speed . I have only have it connect for a few hour so I can not yet speak to the modem 's reliability , but I be very happy with this purchase . if you isp support it , I highly recommend switch to Docsis 3 . +602 CableModem POS 4 I purchase this modem as a new unit without the pretty packaging . it arrive on time and work well for a half a hour or so . then the power supply burn out . after a quick call to Motorola and a repurposing of one of my hard drive power supply the modem be work again . this must be a common problem , as motorolum support suggest this approach as my first intervention . after confirm the supply be bad , they promptly send a new power supply . with a new power supply the modem be very dependable and easy to use . I would buy it again . if yours fail , check the power supply by plug in a similar one from you own collection and call motorolum to get a new one . +563 CableModem NEG 1 I purchase a cm100 about 8 month ago at a local store to match my Linksys wrt54g . in the last month or so I have notice sporadic internet service during which my ping time increase by ~ 500m for period of roughly 2-3 minute . well my cm100 finally die today after a gentle existence on the floor behind my tv . I be not pleased that a $ 70 modem only last 8 month . +729 CableModem POS 5 purchase this item several week ago after rent one from Charter . Easy to install , work great so far . this be the same modem -lrb- Motorola SB6121 DODSIS 3.0 -rrb- that Charter supplies if you rent they modem . +258 CableModem NEG 1 I buy this so I could return my rental I be pay to Comcast for the $ 7\/month modem . when I plug the modem in , there be a connection but no internet access . I end up call Comcast and I read they my HFC MAC ID # and turn out that this modem be currently register under someone else and they could not register under my name . after hear that , I be frustrated and angry that I buy this and hope I can get my FULL refund back and will never buy from they again . +172 CableModem POS 5 I purchase the Motorola sb6121 because we be move and change cable company . the day that the cable installer set up the connection to the house , I have leave the modem behind at the hotel where I be stay before the mover arrive with we household goods . later that day , I hook up the modem and find it to be very easy to do . I connect it to my laptop that I have with I and it work like a charm . once the household goods arrive and I be able to set up my desktop Lenovo computer , connection to the modem be again easy . I run a speed test and the modem deliver every bit of the megabyte that the cable company say we connection should produce . for price and ease of use , this be a good buy . +503 CableModem POS 5 several of my hd channel -lrb- in the mid 200s -rrb- be not come in or be extremely low quality -lrb- intermittent audio and a poor image -rrb- . I hook this booster in and now all of my channel come in and they be crystal clear . simply put this signal booster end two month of frustration I have have with Comcast . +516 CableModem POS 5 after be sick of Comcast raise they fee , I finally buy my own modem . I have only have it about 2 week now , but it have be great . my speed be pretty much the same as the rental modem be and that a good thing . if you be think about buy a modem , go with the cm100 . for the price and performance , it can not be beat . +758 CableModem POS 5 this item be ship super fast and be receive in three day . all I have to do be provide comcast with the serial number and model number and be be up and run . +574 CableModem POS 5 I want to cut down my monthly Comcast bill and one part of the bill be a monthly rental fee for the cable modem . Amazon have several DOCSIS 3.0 modem available , but I could not see any substantive difference in they , so I go with the one just like what Comcast provide to cut down on potential issue . this one work fine out of the box ; I just have to call Comcast and give they the MAC address print on the bottom of the modem -lrb- I actually have to give Comcast the MAC address again when I return the rent modem , but that be a Comcast fail -rrb- . the ubee work just like what I have before , with no monthly rental charge , so I be happy . +230 CableModem POS 4 if you lease you cable modem from you isp , you be overpay . this puppy pay for itself within 10 month , and with any luck it 'll last 10 year . that be how long I have my old Moto SurfBoard modem . it occur to I to check with my service provider to see if the old modem be slow I down , and sure enough , as a DOCSIS 1.0 modem , it have be blacklist by the company . turn out I could lease a new one from they , or buy my own . so look around the web , read some review , and this sb6121 model get generally good review . I be able to self-provision this new model use Charter 's web-based tool , and within 15 minute I be up and run . hook it up to my wi-fi router , configure the router , and all my device have connectivity . so far so good . the speed difference be amazing . I be finally able to take advantage of all those bandwidth improvement the cable company have be make . even though I be still use a wi-fi n\/g\/b compatible setting on the router , the speed I be get be 2 to 3 time faster than what I have be get with my old modem in place . I have a Apple tv , and since I install the new modem , Netflix streaming be good to go . I no longer get buffer delay , and the video quality be always the highest available . this new modem be smaller , lighter , make more of cheap plastic than my old one , but be in every other way better . at $ 86 on Amazon , it be well worth it . and if you get a defective one , like some of the poster here have , you can return it to Amazon no question ask . +913 CableModem POS 5 Linksys DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem -lrb- dpc3008-cc -rrb- plug it in , call Comcast to give they the number , and be surf . love it ! and no more $ 7 monthly rental fee !! +843 CableModem NEG 2 I order this modem instead of the sb6120 because of the problem report in connect to COMCAST . unfortunately this modem do not connect to COMCAST . Motorolla inform I that the isp must download a file specific to the give modem . since this be not yet on the list of approve modem . there be no file and it can not connect , although they do tell I the signal be excellent . HENCE : do not order this modem for use with COMCAST unless they tell you it be compatible ... +519 CableModem POS 5 I be just hope to get fewer disconnect than with my comcast supply cable modem . I be very impressed when it be finally activate -lrb- chat + call to Comcast -rrb- and I get a `` bond '' downstream connection . it also have a gigabit connection to you pc or lan which be nice but still over kill unless you can max this thing out at 160mbp . I do not max mine out but I do double my download speed and reduce my ping by 1m . I visit speedtest dot net before and after I change to this sb6121 modem . result : original Comcast Supplied Ambit U10C018 Cable Modem -lrb- Docsis 2.0 -rrb- Avg Ping - 7m Avg Download 10.42 Mbps Avg Upload 3.62 Mbps NEW Motorola SB6121 Cable Modem -lrb- Docsis 3.0 -rrb- Avg Ping - 6m -lrb- -1 m -rrb- Avg Download 20.62 mbp -lrb- +10.20 mbp -rrb- Avg Upload 3.62 mbp -lrb- +0.10 mbp -rrb- plus I can return the `` rent '' Ambit modem and hopefully shave off a few buck from my monthly bill . +13 CableModem POS 5 it seem faster but not consistently . upload seem to rate faster than before . I have reach speed that I do not have before on the free internet speed test website -lrb- try the usual trio -rrb- . I have Comcast . this model be accept by they . they do not support all model . you need to call they to make it work and give they the sn and some other number on the box -lrb- the sn be on the unit , but not the other number so you really need to keep the box when you call they -rrb- . after the call , it work fine . Make sure you phone be not VOIP or else you 'll need to call they first I assume . so it be faster , but not a huge different on a daily basis , except if you have dropbox or thing like that that can take a lot of time to upload -lrb- the file ... especially if it be gb -rrb- . +750 CableModem POS 5 it work well . no problem . no issue . highly recommend . the item arrive in a timely fashion , and I be able to use it right away . +319 CableModem POS 5 I use this to replace a old Docsis 2.0 Motorola SBG900 . the sbg900 work well enough until I purchase a Logitech Revue , which have issue with the sbg900 , such as drop connection which require a reboot of the router , among other thing . after do my research , I find that the zoom 5341j be Comcast compatible and capable of connect to 8 download channel and 4 upload channel , compare to the much more common 4down x 4up configuration . keep in mind that the Zoom 5341 -lrb- with no j at the end -rrb- be a 4x4 configuration . the Zoom 5341 be a modem only , not have a wireless router embed like the sbg900 , but I already have a linksys wrt54g router , which I have already pull out to try and rectify my problem with the Logitech Revue . the sbg900 keep drop the wire connection to the Linksys though ... the Zoom 5350 be compatible with Comcast and have the same spec as the 5341j , but also have a wireless router and 4 wire port as well . I consider it , but decide to go with seperate piece for modem and router duty . the evening that the zoom 5341j arrive , I install it in place of the sbg900 , and plug my laptop in . once it have establish a connection , the Comcast device activation page come up in my browser , and I be able to switch the activation from the sbg900 to the zoom 5341j in minute , with no need for phone call to support . the configuration of the zoom 5341j be very simple , and I make no change to the default configuration . I do check the connection , and find that I have 8 download connection and 2 upload connection . it appear that Comcast in my area will only provide 2 upload connection . I plug the Linksys wrt54g in and have wifus a minute later . I find average speed to be about the same as before , but peak speed to be about 30 % faster , and this result in snappier browser performance , and quicker starting of streaming video . I also have find that the connection be more robust , as I have not be get the rebuffering and disconnect streaming video that I be get with the sbg900 . my problem with the Logitech Revue have also be solve , and the zoom 5341j have not be drop the wire connection to the Linksys wrt54g . that , combine with the performance enhancement , have leave I very happy . +88 CableModem POS 5 I be really excite about this modem . it work really well , and be a excellent replacement for the one I be rent from the cable company for $ 84\/year . so happy I get it , and would definitely recommend . +950 CableModem POS 5 fantastic product . everything as advertised and then some . very happy with purchase .

Easy to setup , solid performance . I have not have to do a thing since I plug it in back in February . +732 CableModem POS 5 we buy the zoom modem\/router . it take a long time to figure everything out and get it setup , but once install we be happy for about two week . then it start drop the signal and not connect . we call Zoom and they suggest take it back , so we do . we try a Motorola and then back to another zoom . finally someone tell we about change the channel setting , and now the zoom work great , very fast . info about change the channel setting : theinfopond.com\/pg-modem-router.html#channel +864 CableModem POS 5 Works perfectly well with my modem -lrb- the cable to which my cat have successfully chew ! -rrb- and get to I with no prob ! price be the best ! +569 CableModem POS 5 we have Comcast cable and decide to discontinue rent they modem , which be a 2.0 - save $ 7 a month ... new modem will pay for itself , right ? I order the modem , Amazon deliver it the next day ...

I have some remote outlet in my in house cable system that would have have to imporve to be unsatisfactory , thsy be now very nice . I would recommend it under these circumstance . +453 CableModem NEG 1 stop work after a couple day of heavy usage ... begin to get really slow after a few minute of usage . we regularly have multiple hd video stream go since we cancel the cable . : -rrb- at the very least , there be almost always something access the internet here . -lrb- it could have be we isp mess with we , since we stop rent they modem , but that be just speculation ... -rrb- +768 CableModem POS 5 I install my new Motorola sb6121 cable modem . it take about 15 minute for Comcast to get it correctly set up . most of it be at they end , I think . however I ignore they instruction to turn off my computer and connect the modem directly to my computer . instead , I keep the modem connect to the router . I eventually do a reset on the router and reboot the computer . not sure if that be totally necessary , but everything be fine after that - though it might have be fine , anyway . I have do a speedtest -lrb- actually two of they on two different site -rrb- before I switch from the Comcast supply rca dcm425c modem . one show about 10 mb down and 1.3 mb up . the other show about 4 mb down and 1 mb up . I believe the 1st one . with the new modem the 1st site show 15 mb down and the same 1.3 mb up . I notice that the download light be blue -lrb- mean a bond connection -rrb- while the upload light be green mean a standard connection . I ask Comcast about this and they say they do not promise multiple channel on upload . accord to Comcast the level of service I be pay for should give 15 mb down and 2 mb up . the modem itself be very simplistic - no button . just three connection on the back and 5 light on the front . since I go through a router there be always activity and the link light just flash on and off at a fixed rate -lrb- not in time with activity light on the router -rrb- . since I have have it less than a day , I can not comment on reliability or speed change -lrb- if any -rrb- over time . but so far I like the improve download speed . it be really noticeable while watch hd video in real time . +938 CableModem NEG 1 have Comcast come out to install internet and could not get this modem to recognize the signal . return and will buy a different model . weird that this be a recommend model by Comcast if so many people have issue with it . oh well . +753 CableModem POS 5 I have only have this modem for a day , so it be entirely possible that it have problem I have not discover yet , but so far it be work great for I . I simply plug in the modem , bypass my router , and be able to configure the modem for use on Comcast in less than 10 minute . the online setup work great for I , I simply enter my account number and everything else be automatic -- Comcast 's site find the modem 's MAC address and I di not have to enter the serial number or any other information , just wait about 4 minute for Comcast 's site to process the information . I then turn everything off , re-connect the modem to my router , turn everything on again , and I be good to go . so far , this modem be significantly faster than the modem I be rent . +310 CableModem POS 5 the modem be easy to set up , and it work very well with my router for lan and wireless connection . this modem be accept by my cable company -lrb- cox -rrb- , so I do not have to rent a modem from cox - which should pay off in a year or so . plus , rental modem be not always , shall we say , `` top of the line '' . +508 CableModem POS 5 Great Product . work as advertised right out of box . have to contact Comcast to activate it and deactivate my rental box . I be pretty computer capable , but I do not encounter anything a non-techie could not work through . +323 CableModem POS 4 I buy the unit base on many positive review on Amazon . it do take cox cable a few reset attempt for they system to see the modem -lrb- 20 minute -rrb- . they be almost at a point of give up and send a tech out . I do not notice any speed increase by upgrade from DOCSIS 2 to DOCSIS 3 . I have not log into the modem interface 192.168.100.1 to see if the same error on the old modem be also show up on the new unit . Terry +29 CableModem POS 4 Modem install without any problem . only have to call cable company to register MAC address . so far , it be work fine . hard to say if there be a difference of speed between this product and the cable company modem . +992 CableModem NEG 2 I select this modem after consult my cable provider 's list of recommend modem . in fact , I just get off the phone with my provider 's tech support , and I confirm what I find when I try to install this modem : if you receive voice telephony service in addition to internet and tv service , this modem will not work . period . there be no phone jack . my cable provider 's website be in error . -lrb- I be tell that there be very few modem that support both cable and telephone . -rrb- do not let this happen to you . Fair warning . +73 CableModem POS 5 good product and reliable for the price pay . . work great ... I be a first time user +720 CableModem POS 5 I buy this modem to avoid the monthly rental fee from my cable company . it be faster than theirs and pay for itself fairly quickly . it be everything that I have hope for . +217 CableModem POS 5 this modem work great . I hook it up with a netgear wndr3700 . after the basic and Wireless setting on the router be do and the modem get provision by Time Warner . it be work great . +263 CableModem POS 5 absolutely amazing difference in analog picture quality ! I use a two way splitter to run a line straight to my cable modem as recommend and attach the other cable to the Motorola Booster . from the booster I use three of the four hookup for signal to three tv , one of which I split again with a good two way splitter so that I could drop a line to my computer tv card . before I have horizontal line on many of the channel and a couple be almost unviewable . the line be all go now and the picture on all three analog tv and the computer be terrific ! a unintended side effect be that my cable modem throughput have also increase because it be now be route straight to the computer from the original two way splitter . I wish that I have do this year ago ! if you have analog tv with fuzzy or striped picture I highly recommend this booster ! +598 CableModem POS 4 switch from phone company dsl about a month ago . Slow connect and little help to resolve . Got connect with local Cable one service , same price -lrb- at least for a year -rrb- as dsl , but advertise at 50mps versus 20 from phone company -lrb- accord to speed test more like 10 -rrb- . lease unit with installation and check it out , very good speed and reliable connection . so decide to to purchase my own unit , this be the exact same unit as the original installation right down to the packing box -lrb- cost $ 11 more to buy with standard packaging ?? -rrb- . have for bout a month now and still work great , clocked at anywhere between 20-51mps depend on what site you use to check speed . happy with unit and service from isp make it a easy set-up . . p check price on both version offer by Amazon , packaging only different for price difference of $ 11 at time of my purchase . . +324 CableModem POS 5 I be skeptical that this item would not work . I have purchase a `` cheaper '' item at a big box retailer , and do nothing . however , this box work excellent . I have cable into my house . I have 2 tv 's that have digital cable box , which be always boarder line on quality signal -lrb- some channel would look scrabble sometimes , not often -rrb- . I have 3 tv 's which be hd , that do not have box -lrb- they get the 19 free hd channel -rrb- and these hd channel would scrabble or have delay ... however , install the booster and notice a immediate improvement . all my channel look brighter and 100 % perfect . in fact , on my tv 's , where I do not have the digital cable box , I pick up 2 more hd channel , now , 21 -lrb- free -rrb- , that I do not get before ! that be how weak my signal be before ; the tuner do not even find the channel . I wish there be a 6 channel . I have output 1 and 2 to my digital cable box , output 3 to another tv , and I split output 4 into 3 other tv 's . all channel work great ! \*\*\* note that you will need a piece of cable to run from the power supply to the signal booster \*\*\* do not come with . +131 CableModem POS 4 Easy to setup especially if you be replace a exist cable modem . since I use Comcast and be use a older Motorola SB5100 series , I unplug the exist cable and just plug it into the new modem . all that be leave to get it setup be to call Comcast and tell they I buy a new modem and would be return the old rental . they need the modem 's MAC address which take approximately 5 minute and I be up and run . I have this near my home theater setup and notice the indicator light be very bright . you might need to turn the modem away or cover the light to dim the brightness . as for download and upload speed , I be see sustained 21 + mbps\/3 .7 mbp respectively . prior to the upgrade , it be about 18-19Mbps \/ 3.4 mbp . so not bad performance but better . my only other gripe be the price . just realize Costco have the sb6120 model for about $ 70 . if I have stop by earlier I would have buy it there and save some money since performance be about the same . +540 CableModem POS 5 fifteen year ago + I purchase my cable modem instead of rent and be pretty happy . lately we be experience dropped\/interrupted internet service - I assume -lrb- correctly -rrb- it be the age of the modem and research available modem . this one have a pretty good rating . I purchase at what I think be a good price -lrb- store - vs - internet -rrb- I have be satisify with its operation -lrb- no more internet interruption and I be run 2 to 4 device at any one time . I be pretty lucky that I do not have to purchase a new modem sooner - hopefully this one will last a while and keep up with technological improvement . I wish there have be better instruction on set-up ... I have to go online -lrb- after set-up -rrb- to get the manual so I know what the different light be and whether they be suppose to be amber\/green\/blue \/ solid or blinking . good product and good price - I be satisfied . now if only my cable company be as easy to contact and replace . +0 CableModem POS 5 Works well with Time Warner . would get rid of Time Warner if I could but its the only game in town for cable internet . Got rid of all they other service . +692 CableModem POS 5 I be expect to be able to enter my Comcast account number and phone number to activate this new modem on line . sadly , in my area , -lrb- MA -rrb- , this do not work . I end up call Comcast and they want they old lease modem return before they would activate the new one . after return the old modem to the Comcast service center , they enter the new MAC address into they system and tell I the new modem be activate . when I return home and start my pc , my home page be the Comcast activation page where I then need to enter my account number and phone number to complete the activation process . as I enter this datum and hit the `` next '' screen button , the process freeze and I end up on a Comcast chat line . the on line tech be able to finish up the activation and I be now back on line . the new Motorola appear to work fine and I will save the leasing fee of $ 7 each month . just be ready to return the old lease unit first and spend some more phone and on-line chat time with the friendly Comcast tech before this unit be up & run . +942 CableModem POS 5 Modem work as expect - I first shut down the computer , router , and modem . I then plug in the modem and it lock the signal , then plug in the router and turn on the pc . when I open the browser , I be present with the webpage to authenticate the new modem with my phone number and account with Comcast . within 10 minute I be up and run . I highly recommend this modem to anyone as Comcast be charge I $ 7\/month on my exist Arris modem . my connection with Comcast be the extreme 105 and the speedtest be identical to what I be get before -lrb- 115 mbp dl\/11 Mbps UL -rrb- . +412 CableModem POS 4 I buy this cable modem to replace a dead one I originally buy several year ago from the cable company . it be easy to install and set up . the only hangup be when I call the cable company to give they the MAC number so they system could communicate with it . they initially say the number I give they be not valid , but they finally accept it . they only reason I do not give it a 5-star review be that it be DOCSIS 2 . o , not DOCSIS 3.0 . my cable company do not support DOCSIS 3.0 yet , but it would have be nice to have it in case they upgrade they system . I look for a Cisco\/Linksys 3.0 unit , as I have have good result with they equipment , but could not locate one on Amazon . +315 CableModem POS 5 Comcast give I a Motorola 5120 the bandwidth be fluctuate horribly on speedtest.net also the modem max out at 30Mbps mega bit per second mbp be mega byte per second the difference be weather the b be lower case or b upper case . a byte be consider 8-bit . in some system there be error correction and other overhead route information of up to they say 15 % of you bandwidth . not to much testing and I have hit a high of 38 mbp download the bandwidth be nonfluctuating\/stable . the same of ~ 6mbp for upload . the follow be help with self install and self activation on Comcast you mileage may vary on cable company . Extra Paragraph\/note not on modem : after all of this be do if you want a suggestion on block different type of web site -lrb- 30 million people use it . -rrb- use free opendns.com simple or complex , 40 different category and certain add and spoof its free unless you want long term tracking of site successfully block or where the kid have try to access . corporate be not free . this next step be to set up so you can `` self activate '' on Comcast when you have switch , hub , router , wireless . pull the power cord on you modem and with preferably the same cable connect directly to a power off computer or laptop and then plug back the power back in you modem . Make sure the cable modem have initialize itself then turn on the computer test and make sure a refresh web page come up -lrb- in case you do not shut down you computer -rrb- . the next step be that you be go to give back you old cat-5 cable and test you new pre-test cat-6 cable . unplug modem , shut down computer . now plug in you new cat-6 cable which on mine be pre-test , and plug it in to the modem and computer . plug the power back in to the modem after the modem initialize turn on the computer verify that the cable work and you pull up a refreshed page not a current page -lrb- in case you do not shut down you computer . -rrb- if if say that there be `` no connection available '' , sometimes you have to see-see the connection back and forth which I have to do at the laptop connector . finally if you want do you last speedtest.com look for , first , the unevenness of the graph the peak and valley what you want be a nice stable plato , second be write down the peak download speed in Mbps and third the upload speed peak in Mbps . now to swap the modem . First you want the modem to run when the cable company test it so pull the power first . then the pre-test cat-6 cable . now the cable tv rj-59u or rj-58u you might need pliers to start to loosen the connection but the rest should be hold with finger and spin . now the semus tough part that center wire of the cable will not want to go into that new gold plate connector so make sure the wire be in the center , its align , and push , that be the hard part -- finish screw in , plug in the pre-test cat-6 cable to the modem and this time I would really recommend shut down the computer because even I do because it go to take ~ 5 minute for the modem to initialize . mental note : I notice the box vent on one side and a very little from the front so I put the side with all the vent up . but I have air cleaner to clean it or you could get a hepa filter . Temp be nominal but I have it on a cement floor . now turn on you computer . go to Start , All Programs , Accessories , command Prompt . type : ipconfig\/release type : ipconfig\/renew now open internet Explorer in the address bar type activate.comcast.com \/ you will need you account number and account telephone . next call 1-800-xfinity 934-6489 go to tech support tell they you get you own modem , you install it and self activate it . and you need to give they you mac address its a Motorola Surf Board sb6121 I be in a sandstone building and go outside and use the cell phone do not take to long then they send I in to test and see if a web page would come up and it do and my cell connection hold and I say thanks to eternity the representative and that be all . this new modem have hit 8mbp higher at the highest and the bandwidth have a nice nonfluctuating platoe . in Google Chrome I can re-open a dozen of closed web page and the load time seem reduce the reason I do not say for sure be that my 4 thread processor be not run at its normal burried 100 % so the program might not be fight for cpu time . Bruce Light color be Amber for on , blue upload , blue download , amber connect to computer , flash blue for the fastest connection . +360 CableModem POS 4 okay , I just sign up for Comcast cable and internet and choose this modem\/router combo . I have a zoom 56k modem year ago that work great so I take a chance . my goal be to have a fairly fast connection so I can hit my slingbox in another city . previously my internet connection here have be my tethered 4g droid Bionic . I be kill Verizon with datum usage -lrb- 60-70gb -rrb- and I think they be throttle the connection or the phone be buggy . either way the speed would move all over the place and it be not reliable so it be out . it be easy enough to setup . the first thing I do be change the admin password because there be list out there of every router 's default password . then I change the name of the ssid and set it to not broadcast . you can have some fun with ssid name . I then disable WPS , I do not want anything to do with that protocol as it be very easy to crack . I be use WPA and I change the default connection password there also . it come set as zoom #### where the number be 4 digit in the mac address . I do not see any place to assign static IP 's so that be not so good . you can setup MAC address security though and that seem like another layer of security to keep out wi-fi thief . it be work okay , I be get decent enough speed to get a great picture from my slingbox and this be with the slowest comcast internet service . so far so good . +146 CableModem POS 4 Comcast be my inet provider and they send I a letter state that my modem be too slow to get the full benefit of xfinity speed and that I need to get a new modem . I call and be able to figure out that my modem be a DOCSIS 1.0 cable modem and that I need to get the newest available , DOCSIS 3.0 . I find this modem online and compare the price on Amazon , better price and very good review so I buy it . good product , great price ! +624 CableModem POS 4 I buy a refurbish Linksys cm100 because my isp decide to go up on the rental even for modem already install , which make no sense whatsoever as they have already purchase the modem and there be no associated monthly expense other than a occasional replacement , just pure profit for they . for six month ' rental I could buy this refurb , so I do . I hope everyone do the same thing and `` stick it to the man '' as young people say these day . my only real complaint about the modem be the same as with other similar modem : no power switch so you have to unplug it to turn it off and the led be very bright at night and I find that annoy . as far as minor issue , the enclosed disc be not for OSX , only Windows -lrb- not that it be need -rrb- and the MAC address be print so small that I have to use a magnifying glass and a bright light to read it . if you do not get the MAC address right when you call you isp , it will not work at all . as a tip , the letter be slightly taller than the number so it be easy to tell a 0 from a o -- with the magnifying glass . the packing be secure with the component in a pulpboard tray inside two cardboard box . it actually look new and if it have not say on the package it be a refurb , I would not have know . the cable provide be new , not sure about the power supply , look new but who know . aesthetically , it have a small footprint and no extraneous design feature , which I appreciate . my isp 's tech support have some difficulty get I online with the new modem but it be all they fault and have nothing to do with the modem itself . at first he say the problem must be with the modem but I insist that he double check and he `` run diagnostic '' and keep I on hold for fifteen minute and then all be well after a restart of the modem and the computer . I do not make he explain what the problem be since I be just glad the problem be resolve and I have waste enough time . the entire call last exactly sixty minute ! a speed test show I be get the full speed subscribe to so no complaint on that -- it work just fine . before purchase this modem I do talk with my isp tech support to confirm it be compatible . they be switch over to DOCSIS 3.0 for higher speed but he say for anything under 10 mbp , DOCSIS 2.0 would continue to work fine indefinitely . still , check with you isp to be sure . my provider be RCN and they do not list this modem but he say any DOCSIS 2.0 modem would be fine . I be careful to purchase from a dealer who offer a seven day return as many seller force you to deal with Linksys for warranty issue even if it be DOA . I do suspect that many people who complain on the internet that these refurb do not work just have a problem on the isp end like what I go through . in the end , though , for the price of a new one you could easily buy two refurb so what do you have to lose ? +273 CableModem POS 5 work great . this replace a old scientific atlanta modem from cox and my download increase by more than 5x 's -lrb- upload stay about the same -rrb- . +596 CableModem POS 5 Fed up with the increase in Charter Cable modem rental , we `` go for break '' and purchase this unit . as with several previous review , it be amazing that you take out the old one , install the new one , and upon start-up the Charter software detect the new modem . the system ask for we account number and old modem MAC , then take it all from there . a 15 minute install . ca not speak for reliability -lrb- just install today -rrb- yet , but absolutely thrill at the ease of installation . +505 CableModem POS 4 pro : at the time of write this review , I have have this modem plug in and run for a month straight without any problem . I get the correct speed from my modem -lrb- 20 mpb -rrb- and I have not experience any latency problem -lrb- pc and xbox 360 gaming be always fluid -rrb- . con : the modem do not have any management capability . access the modem management page -lrb- 192.168.100.1 on most home network -rrb- only give you status page and no capability to spoof MAC address or provide isp with a username and password . Make sure you isp support this modem before you buy it . conclusion : for the money -lrb- less than $ 80 -rrb- this be a great modem that may not have frill but have reliability which be far more important . I would recommend this modem -lrb- as long as you isp support it -rrb- . +71 CableModem POS 5 I buy this to replace the lease modem -lrb- also DOCSIS 3.0 -rrb- from Charter . it provide equivalent performance , and you will save $ $ $ every month . no technical skill be require to install . write on paper the MAC address from the label on the back of the new modem . disconnect the old Charter modem and attach the coaxial internet cable to the new modem and plug modem into a electrical outlet -lrb- consider use a surge protector -rrb- . call Charter support to activate the new modem . the service technician will need the MAC address that you write on the paper . the whole process will take about 10 minute . Performance be great . I have have no problem with the modem . the speed usually exceed my 30\/3 service . +805 CableModem POS 4 I purchase this unit about 2 month ago . before I get it , I be use a Radio Shack brand amp . I get that amp originally because of the distortion , and freezing up of the picture , many time a day . it help a little bit , but not half of what it should have do . now I do some research and find this Motorola unit . so far , it have work fairly well . I hook it up outside my home where the cable come to my home . it be inside the plastic housing where the one cable be split into 6 to feed 6 different outlet . I have 5 tv 's and the other be split between my cable modem and another tv set . the internet connection be amplify , but so far have not affect it be function . we be get a great reception on all we set also . that be most of the time . I say this because the digital picture , although very clear and crisp , it do have a hiccup-where the picture will freeze for maybe a second . that do not happen very often . this amp be extremely easy to use , and I would recommend this product . +857 CableModem POS 5 it work . and that say a lot for a cable modem .

I do not realize the 5101 peg out at 30MB . when I hook up the 6121 my speed shoot up from a average of 28-30mb to 50-55mb !! I be receive 50-60mb service from charter , but because of they horrible service detail -lrb- or lack there of -rrb- I be unaware . excellent purchase , I hope it hold up like the 5101 have ! +339 CableModem POS 5 purchase sb6121 a week ago to replace the standard Comcast modem that come with my service charge I 9 dollar a month .

Worth every penny spend . +757 CableModem POS 5 sb6121 be work fine out of the box and be easy to install and require a phone call to ISP Cox for it to link up with the system . 15 minute and bingo ... +364 CableModem POS 4 when charter cable up the rental fee to $ 7 a month it become silly not to buy we own modem . I buy this Motorola surfboard base on good review , and after 5 month of use it have prove very reliable , offer consistent , reasonably high speed without need to be re-plugged more than once . it be only drawback be a few design flaw . note : other have describe this modem as nearly identical to the Motorola surfboard sb6120 except more expensive and with a prettier but warmer-running case . normally this would steer I toward the older model but because some charter user experience firmware problem that turn they sb6120 into brick , I go with the newer model just to be safe . the price be still quite reasonable consider that after one year it will have pay for itself in rental fee . pro : so far we have speed equal to the modem we use to rent , and occasionally higher . it be easy to set up and only once have I have to unplug the modem to get internet working , although that may have be a problem with the router . it be important to note that unless you be pay big buck for super-high speed you may not be get d3 rate anyway . but unless you be strap for cash or certain that you will never , ever upgrade , it be not a bad idea to have the option and plan for the future . con : the sb6121 be sometimes warm to the touch . I would not describe it as hot . however , we have it free standing -lrb- not stack beneath something else -rrb- and in the cool basement , so it be not a problem . the illuminate led icon be easy to see but the icon themselves be somewhat obscure . it be useful to know that the top icon actually change color depend on the speed of you connection -lrb- which will also depend upon the computer its connect to -rrb- so if you get a amber light , do not assume the modem be not work . there be no reset button on the modem , as some version of this model seem to advertise . this be not a huge drawback for I . Bottom Line : for steady speed equal to what we be rent , a reasonable price in the long run , ease of setup , and long period of internet without interruption , I give this modem 4 star . for the minor flaw of chare more for a new case that run on the warm side and be needlessly cryptic with its cute icon I take off one star . +539 CableModem POS 5 could not be simpler ! plug it in and go !!! will also do 1000-base-t for blaze speed . -lrb- compare to same unit @ Office Depot for $ 129.00 -rrb- +833 CableModem POS 5 Works as advertise , very simple set up . plug and play . just call you provider to authorize modem . DOCSIS 3.0 upgrade work great . base on the residential service I pay for with my provider , I consintently get 35 mbp down and 5-10 mbp up . the main difference that I notice be that when you have multiple user stream the datum transfer work much better . +482 CableModem POS 5 I have a pc run WMC and hook up a Hauppauge 1191 WinTV-HVR-950Q TV Tuner Stick to get tv reception . the channel come in and out and many of the network station do not come in at all . so I purchase the Motorola Signal Booster along with the `` leaf '' antenna and run the leaf through the floor up into we upstairs closet . after installation I receive channel from over 90 mile away -lrb- San Diego station from Orange County -rrb- . all local channel come in flawlessly without any pixelating or disruption . a great little device ! +935 CableModem POS 5 I buy this to replace a less than stellar Motorola . man , I should have do this sooner . this be much faster . Easy to install - unpacked it , hook it up , turn it on and then make a single call to Cox Cable support and I be up and run . +726 CableModem POS 5 this will quickly pay for it self , if you be already rent from Xfinity\/Comcast . I have connect the Motorola sb6121 to my AirPort Extreme . I be get MUCH faster download speed & upload speed than ever before . if you do not want to rent anymore and you want faster speed , get it ! +983 CableModem POS 5 I receive the sb6121 in about 2 day with Amazon 's excellent packaging . hook-up be a snap until I get to assign the MAC number with Comcast . we try several time to sync the new modem with no success . I then take off my glass and use a magnifying glass on the MAC address tag . I then find that `` b '' be really a `` 8 '' , and `` D '' be really a `` 0 '' . so much for the golden year . have I read the number correctly , syncing would have take about 3 minute . we do a quick test and I be pull over 21.0 meg . I go ahead and buy the 3.0 docsis to try to be ahead of the curve . this dummy have be pay rental rate for year and should clear the cost of the 6121 in a little over a year . excellent price , free shipping , and prior Motorola experience be all buy factor . +94 CableModem POS 5 like the tittle say ; I think this modem be great ! its a great deal since I have see older model sell at walmart for about the same price . I do not want to rent a modem from Comcast and I be a bit worried at first that the tech be go to tell I he could not use this one , but it all work perfectly ! I have the modem connect directly to my router for wifus and I have fast internet on all my device at home -lrb- a blue-ray player w \/ wifus , two smartphone and two laptop -rrb- . it be super fast and have not give I any issue since I buy it back in Novermber 2011 . +170 CableModem POS 5 Comcast charge $ 7\/mo . as a modem rental fee . since I sign a 1 yr . contract with they , I figure that buy a compatible modem would be cheaper for I . after do some research , I decide to go with this product . I have have it for a month now , and so far , I have be very happy with it . Technically , I only pay for 20mbp internet , but since this be a docsis 3 modem , I end up get about 25mbp when I be use wire internet . not a bad situation to be in : -rrb- +232 CableModem POS 5 product arrive in good time . I install this on charter cable , plug it in and a interface page pop up and ask a couple question that be it . have be run for a couple week with no problem . +234 CableModem POS 5 THIS CABLE MODUM work just great easy to replace . good for use with charter so you do not HAVE to RENT IT MONTHLY ! +520 CableModem POS 5 I have Charter as my internet provider . they highly recommend this Motorola modem . I be tell it not only be a `` support '' modem by they , but on the top of they recommend list of modem . prior to this modem , my internet speed be at most 14 mbp download and 1 mbp upload . with this modem I record download speed between 33 - 35 mbp and 3 - 3.5 mbp upload . -lrb- I be only on a Charter plan pay for 15 mbp download and 1 mbp upload . -rrb- when ask by a Charter tech if i want to upgrade to they 25 mbp download and 3 mbp upload plan , I tell he , `` no , I be already exceed those speed with my current plan . '' this modem work great . +191 CableModem POS 5 I be on dsl for year but decide to try out cable . we already have expand basic cable service , so the self-install be easy . take about 10 minute to set this up after a call to the cable company - it be plug-and-play . Modem be well build and solid . do not run `` hot '' as indicate in another review -lrb- at least mine do not -rrb- . after be on for hour the top be warm , but not overly so . my little dsl modem get just as warm , or warmer , than this one . nice little rubber foot . I do not want the model with the build in wireless router . I would rather have a separate router for upgrade , flexibility , and the fact that if one or the other crap out I do not have to toss the whole unit . it be more expensive this way I guess , and take up slightly more room , but that be ok . speed be excellent . I be pay for 15 mbp service but routinely get 20-30 mbp depend on time of day . upload speed have be consistently around 3 mbp . I have read that DOCSIS 3.0 allow for better speed control by the cable company , but I be happy with this speed to be sure . I be run this through multiple splitter - maybe three . we live in a old 1927 house , so the wiring be not the best in the world . I have have one drop connection -lrb- a t3 or t4 timeout I believe the modem log say -rrb- . I re-seat the cable connection at the back and the modem re-booted fine . the stability seem fine so far . the only thing I do not like be that the bottom indicator -lrb- for device connection -rrb- flash instead of be constant . Amber for regular ethernet speed or blue for gigabit - my router be regular speed so I get amber . it be not a deal breaker but why have a constantly flash light ? somewhat annoying . I would prefer it be a steady light , and flash only if something be wrong . I have research this and it seem to be the way this modem be configure , for some reason . it would be nice if a firmware update could address this but I be not hold my breath . it look nice imo . no funky weird line or angle , just a nice little black box with cool light . it be well ventilate too . I would buy another one if need . +358 CableModem POS 4 be pay for premium inter net service from cox . be not satisfy with video quality . be get download speed of less than 10 mbp with 5 year old Motorola modem , be pay cox for download speed of over 27 mbp . sb6121 now give I download speed up to 32 mbp for same price from cox . make a significant improvement in video quality on computer and Smart tv when watch inter net video from Netflix , YouTube , Apple TV , ect . set up be not difficult , need cox to do its part of set up for new modem . Motorola phone help be excellent if you need it with the modem too . +26 CableModem POS 5 so all the review be glowing so i buy it ... i receive it the day they do the install so i have no idea the speed i would have have with a different modem . I do however receive higher speed from this modem then cox be sell I . i be on the 55down and5 .5 up plan and with this im get about 65down average and 7.5 average up ... so that be good . one of the best thing be in the month i have own it i have never have to reset this modem , always a solid connection . love it . +85 CableModem NEU 3 it be not a new modem but setup be simple and it have operate without a problem for about a month . +281 CableModem POS 5 this dramatically improve the reception in my house . I have Insight Cable -lrb- Ohio -rrb- and have always have several snowy channel . the cable company have be out but say there be nothing they could do , as some channel just get poor reception . to make matter worse , I recently add five new splice for a total of 10 . several tv 's have terrible reception . I choose this model so I could run the main cable input into the booster and then each output to a splitter . the main cable line enter the house into a finished office so I also like how the unit be power , too . it work absolutely fantastic . all tv 's now have excellent reception . I just can not believe that this solve my issue . it seem very well make and sturdy and it be actually pretty neat how it work . the power source be a inverter that translate the house electric to 12v . you plug it into you outlet and then run a r59 or r6 coaxial cable from the power source to the amplifier\/booster . so I just fish a new cable line in the wall near my outlet to power it , as oppose to have to deal with install a new outlet near my cable input . I have broadband internet come through my cable and have see no interference or problem with that . it be always pretty good so I be unsure if there be any improvement . to I this be well worth the money . I have several lcd tv 's around and it suck to have spend the money on they but have bad reception . +23 CableModem NEU 3 I have have a DOCSIS 2.0 Scientific Atlanta dpc2100r2 for many year now . it have work like a charm . recently in my infinite wisdom , I decide to upgrade to a 3.0 modem and choose the Linksys dpc3008 . I choose it mostly for its small footprint and the lack of the need of a fan so that it would go into my structured wiring closet . installation be pretty smooth and the new speed look impressive . I be real happy till I find that it drop the link every 15 minute , this be drive my teenager crazy . Google search reveal that a number of people be have similar problem . Cisco say it be Comcast 's fault , Comcast say it be the modem 's fault . the modem be rate 3.0 \/ 3.0 by Comcast and be certify by they . will have to return the modem and go back to my slower but reliable Scientific Atlanta dpc2100r2 . +932 CableModem POS 5 I have CHARTER and I replace my old sb4200 with the new sb6121 . it take about 10-15 minute and I be able to do it over Charter 's automated service . the step I follow : 1 -rrb- Goto -lrb- ... -rrb- and take the speed test a few time . 2 -rrb- make connection on new sb6121 and then connect power . by connection I be refer to whatever you have setup already on you old modem -lrb- router or direct connect to pc -rrb- . 3 -rrb- after new modem boots-up launch pc browser . it should take you directly to Charter install page , but if you be like I it do not - so manually paste this address into you browser -lrb- ... -rrb- 4 -rrb- follow self-help option to replace you cable modem . enter account number off you billing statement and you old MAC address . 5 -rrb- when it be complete it say it will `` attempt '' to reboot you modem to complete the installation process . I wait 5 minute and it never do so I power cycle the modem myself . when the new modem power on it do finally work . internet service will not work until the unit have be reboot so do not skip that step ! 6 -rrb- Goto -lrb- ... -rrb- and take the speed test a few time ... compare result to you old modem . +214 CableModem POS 5 I be pull above 50mbit with my Comcast 50Mbit plan . that be fine by I . I think this bad boy clock I at 54mbit by 11mbit . not bad . some people complain it get hot ... no such issue here . it be warm , but most of my router get hotter than this . believe I I be put it through the wringer . my bandwidth usage with this bad boy over 3 week or so be very close to 1tb -lrb- that be 1000gb -rrb- . Uptime be great as well . I have some issue programming it but whatever , I have not not have such problem . just call Comcast and give they you digit if the online tool do not work . keep you box , it have a special serial -lrb- customer s\/n -rrb- as some mention . regards , will +318 CableModem NEG 2 I have purchase this modem to replace a lease modem from Comcast . I be on the phone with Comcast for less than 20 minute and everything be up and operational . after successfully get this modem up and run for about a day or so , the modem some how be power down by itself and it never come back online again . no led or power on the box . I have the modem return to Amazon for full refund and decide to give SBG6580 DOCIS 3.0 \/ WIFI\/Router a shot . I be not disappoint at all , because I still have the dsl as a backup connection until the new replacement modem arrive . 1 , attach the coaxial cable to the modem , 2 , power it on 3 , attach the one end of the LAN cable directly to you computer and the other to the modem . 4 , if you get the 192.168.1 . x address and no default gateway set , then it be time to put a call into Comcast . 5 , before call Comcast , take down the HFC MAC address from you modem . 6 , all the light should turn green once Comcast have activate it successfully . 7 , if you be still get the 192.168.1 . x address from the modem via DHCP . here be the fun part , which Comcast technician do occasionally ask they customer to do in order to resolve the issue be by reboot they pc . I do not see there be a need for reboot you pc , just detach the LAN cable from you pc or from the modem end and re-attaching it again . you should see the 76 . x.x. x -lrb- comcast public , could be different for other carrier -rrb- address obtain on you pc . this have indicate the modem be now in bridge mode and be fully functional . 8 , open up a terminal window and try to ping -lrb- ... -rrb- or 8.8.8.8 . if you see the ping response , then you be good to go . if you be not computer wiz , then just bring up you internet explorer or browser to test you connectivity . 9 , speedtest you connection too by go to -lrb- ... -rrb- before let Comcast tech get off the line . 10 , now you can disconnect the LAN cable from you pc and have it plug into you home router\/wireless WAN port . good luck everyone and hope I will get better luck with sbg6580 . +92 CableModem POS 5 I buy this modem to dump the one Charter give I initially -lrb- and be charge I $ 10 a month for -rrb- . set-up go smooth , though I do have to call Charter and get a tech to help activate it , but they be very helpful , and say this be a great modem to be use with they service . now I have save $ 10 a month off my service , which should pay for this modem -lrb- and router I buy at the same time -rrb- in a year . we test throughput and with doci 3 it be great , so I be pleased so far . +497 CableModem POS 5 I buy this modem to replace the Ambit cable modem that I be rent from the cable company -lrb- broadstripe -rrb- . not only will this modem save I money but it seem to have increase my download speed during peak hour from 1mbp to 5mbp . overall great product ! +377 CableModem POS 5 a return this item because rcn -lrb- my cable company -rrb- have trouble get it to work . if you want to be frugal and save that $ 5\/mo . it be worth the purchase !! +221 CableModem POS 5 we just buy this as a upgrade from a older Motorola modem , and we love it . we play online game and the old modem would boot we offline frequently and would reset randomly periodically during the day . after figure out that maybe we modem just could not handle it - I do some research , find this to be Comcast approve , call Comcast for setup , and it work like a charm -lrb- so far -rrb- . speed be noticeably faster and the connection be far more stable . would definitely recommend . setup be easy - but I do recommend call you cable provider so they can send a signal to the modem and get it set up . the only thing I find annoying about this modem be that the datum link constantly flash make I think the modem be offline - but this be normal for this model . I be very happy with it . +337 CableModem POS 5 great modem - fast , quiet , and work very well overall .

I think in my 7 year with the sb5100 I might have get that message 7 time . I look at the sb6121 and all the light be off . it do not seem like it be get power . I check to see if it be plug in and it be . so I unplug it and plug it back in and it reboot no problem . long story short it keep do this for a couple of week and sometimes it would reboot and sometimes it would not reboot until after many try or many hour . I call Motorola tech support and we do a factory reset on it and that do not help . the Motorola tech say it sound like a hardware problem . unfortunately , since I do not buy it from Amazon I could not return it . that $ 10 I save do not look like such a good deal now . so I go back to my 7 year old sb5100 . this seem like a good , fast modem while it work but unfortunately that be not very long .

I would recomend this product . +655 CableModem POS 5 I look at all the choice of DOCSIS 3.0 Cable modem . this have previous good review so I purchase this one . it be a use model , but I plug it in and it have be work well with no problem . +559 CableModem POS 4 set up simply mean plug everything in . unit be compact and work like a champ . cheaper than best buy . do not care for the fast blinking light , but otherwise very happy with the unit . +129 CableModem NEG 1 I be in San Francisco Bay Area , use Comcast cable modem . after install this device , my internet connection stop work . it seem downstream be okay , but the upstream signal have problem . after remove the device , my connection work just like before . I be hope this device can get I a better upstream power level since mine be at the boderline , but no luck for I . on the side , watch out for the 75 ohm terminator seller offer . for my case , I be not pay attention , just click what seller recommend and trust the prime label . I end up pay $ 9 shipping for a $ 3 part . Amazon say it be my fault , and yes it be . but how can Amazon allow seller to put trap to trick Amazon 's customer . who be fault be it really ?? +209 CableModem POS 5 high speed , easy to setup on you own and will save a rental fee . I hope I can use it with other company . I get speed -rrb- 34mb all the time . +18 CableModem POS 5 this modem\/router work great with comcast . with the modem\/router comcast want to rent I I be get 8mg download speed . with this Motorola SBG6580 I be get 25mg . +639 CableModem POS 4 order and pay for a new Linksys CM100 Cable modem and be send a refurb . not too happy with that , especially since iMall will not return my email . other than that , seem to be work great . +486 CableModem POS 5 I take a chance and buy a refurbish unit that look almost new -lrb- I notice a few light scratch -rrb- . installation with Comcast do not go smoothly with the automatic procedure but after a phone call to Comcast , it be up and run in a few minute . I have have it run less than a week and in that time the whole system have only crash once -lrb- typical for I -rrb- . I run a speed test with the old modem right before I install the new modem . the old one clock in at 35 mp download and the fastest I have get with the new be 24 mb . slower , but not noticable in my app and I can still stream high-def Netflix well . I read somewhere that it may not download as fast as older model but that it should maintain it be speed better throughout the day . in any case , it seem to work as fast as the original Arris modem that be cost I $ 7 a month . so far I be happy with it ! PS my home phone be now on the internet with magic Jack and that work very well and I need my modem to stay on 24-7 so I be hope this modem work a long time without crash . I have the one crash and be here to fix it quickly -lrb- simple unplug , wait a few seconds , then plug it back in -rrb- . hopefully those will be rare . +774 CableModem NEU 3 I have get a Terk indoor directional antenna . unfortunately I do not get the version with the build in amp , so I pick this one up after-market . I live about 30 mile from most of we local station . of the 17 available station , I probably get about ten before I add this booster . after put in the booster I get ... about ten . do not look like it make a difference one way or another . oh well . still , it be cheaper than a cable bill . +366 CableModem NEG 1 I buy this modem since Comcast give it three star out of three for compatibility with DOCSIS 3.0 . it work great for two month . for the past week the modem lose connection to the internet after fifteen minute . in order to not lose connection I have to keep a persistent ping run to the internet . even with this measure I can not stream video without it have pause when the timeout occur . I have Comcast out my house to look at my wiring . they replace several connector , but the problem still persist . there be no reason for this to happen after tqo month . there be no support page on Motorola 's website . I can only check the internal IP of the modem and restart it from there . the only other option be a factory reset of the device . since two month have pass I can not return it . +648 CableModem POS 5 I do host through a home server and this modem handle the minor level of traffic well -lrb- if any of the server start take load , I offload they to ec2 -rrb- . run fine , not too hot , and be very simple to setup . +883 CableModem POS 5 have to upgrade to a DOCSIS 3.0 modem when my cable company decide to cancel the grandfather 2.0 modem so I pick up this guy as I have always have good luck with Motorola modem and this be no different . install without a problem and we technician be in and out in 10 minute . I do not see any increase in bandwidth , but that it due to have the cheapest package option and not due to the modem . would recommend . +345 CableModem POS 5 I purchase the sb6121 base on review here at Amazon.com . and of course when it come to installation day with a Comcast installer ... the tech could not get the modem to work . the modem would reset itself every couple of minute and he could not activate it . the installer tell I the modem be defective and to return it . he even call a person at Comcast who be look at the line who say the same thing ... not work right ... return it . of course the tech go out to he Comcast van and return with a older 2.0 sb5150 surfboard which install in seconds and I agree to pay the $ 7 rental monthly fee to get it up and run . I pack the modem up to reship it but come back on Amazon to read the review once again and low and behold ... read numerous post by people with the same issue with Comcast who have to rent a modem on the spot to get up and run . so I unpack the modem and hook it up myself follow the direction in the box . the Comcast activation screen come right up and get I to the last window `` activate device '' . I leave it on there for a half hour and it would not finish so I call a live person at Comcast . the nice girl have I up in run in seconds and I have have no problem since . why be it that thier tech and online rep could not activate it two day prior after mess around for a hour and a half ?? who know ... but do not give up on the modem ... its a Comcast problem . +439 CableModem POS 4 I replace a older sb 5101 because my internet speed be lack . I have Comcast and be suppose to be get at least 15 mbp down and 2 mbp up . I be get at best 2 mbp down and .5 mbp up . I set the new modem up and immediately I be achieve between 15 and 20 mbp down and 7.5 up ! very easy setup , take less than 15 minute even with call Comcast . I give it a 4 because there be always room for improvement , like the ability to place the modem in standby or have a disconnect button without have to unplug it . +16 CableModem POS 5 if you like quality , high rel and top performance this be the one for you . look - performance and functionality be also excellent . \*\*\*\*\* John +917 CableModem POS 5 First of all this cable modem work with cox.net cox communication at 25mb down i be get download speed of 3.2 mb\/s and 6.4 mb\/s it work great buy it +408 CableModem POS 5 I use this to replace a previous modem which work well , but be not as fast . initial motivation be to avoid a new rental fee announce by cable company . +75 CableModem POS 5 Modem work well right out of the box , easy to set up and connect to wireless router . only complaint be that the customer s\/n be not on the modem and you must get it off the box the modem come in . you need this to hook up modem to internet provider . +25 CableModem POS 5 deliver in two day , and setup within 20 minute . the latency be about half that of my old -lrb- 10 yr . -rrb- modem , and the speed be noticeably better to . I wish that I would buy it sooner . +192 CableModem POS 5 I have be use my own Motorola sb4200 with Comcast for quite a while . so long , that Comcast inform I that the unit be now `` end of support '' , and that I might be get less throughput than I be pay for , due to the old hardware . purchase the sb6121 , and spend a couple of minute on the phone with Comcast support to get the new modem activate . speed test on the old sb4200 just before I unplug it : 12mb down \/ 2mb up . speed test on the new sb6121 -lrb- same website , minute apart -rrb- : 24.5 mb down \/ 3.6 mb up . I be so stunned by the improvement that I ask Comcast support to confirm that they have provision it for the proper rate on my account . the answer come back `` affirmative . '' the novelty of rapid download have not wear off yet - android update to my Touchpad report `` 19 % , 65 % , do ! '' , and that be over wi-fus ! as the title indicate , color I thrill ! +725 CableModem POS 5 tired of pay rental charge to the evil cable co so I decide to buy my own . after some research this once come out on top . bought and be a little nervous . so simple to install and take up so much less space than the clunker from the cable co. . glad I switch ! +969 CableModem NEU 3 just get this modem over a week ago . functionally it work great with good speed - 25mbp downlink and 4mbp uplink . the only problem I have happen about every other day be that one of the bond uplink channel get a `` t4 time out '' error and from that point forward I can not get more than 1mbp uplink until I reboot the modem . I have talk to Comcast but they be clueless . I have file a question with Motorola but no answer yet . unfortunately , other than basic status information , log and reset - the modem do not have any other debug or configuration capability . it be all do on the Comcast side . if the issue do not get resolve soon , I will be return the modem and go back to my old one -lrb- also Motorola -rrb- . +293 CableModem POS 4 the Motorola sb6121 give I excellent download speed , but due to the noise in Communicom 's line be unable to upload anything . if you be buy this to be use on communicom service go with the modem model you be use now and save the rental fee charge each month . +222 CableModem NEG 1 I have have numerous cable router but none have so many connection issue like this one . get a signal be completely hit or miss -lrb- mostly miss -rrb- , and this be on a wire connection , I do not even bother try wireless before return . +407 CableModem POS 5 solve my hd issue , we have 7 tv 's run before with no name splitter , not good , Easy install , once hook up , all my picture be perfect . +626 CableModem POS 4 it work pretty well currently . but it do cost I lot of effort to activate it in Comcast . it keep reset itself so I have to call to activate it +484 CableModem POS 4 I purchase the 5350 router because I be a new Comcast customer and I do not want to pay a monthly fee to lease a router\/modem . I find this device on the Comcast approve list . after my cable be install , I be have problem with the router . my MacBook would connect to the router but the connection be not very reliable - my connection would frequently drop which be incredibly annoying . my work laptop run Windows 7 be not work with the router at all -lrb- it would connect , but I would not be able to receive any datum -rrb- . I be ready to return the Zoom 5350 but I google my problem and I find some solution . specifically , I read that Comcast customer support be tell user of this device to turn off the IP flooding detection feature in the firewall setting . this seem to have work - my Windows laptop be now able to connect and my MacBook connection be more reliable . to make this change go to http:\/\/192.168.0.1\/ , select firewall from the top menu , uncheck IP flood detection and click apply . this seem to fix the problem , but I just make the change this afternoon . I will update my post later , if the router become more or less reliable . I be give the router 4 star right now , but I would say this be closer to 3.5 star because the aforementioned fix be not very obvious -lrb- although Comcast should have make this setting know -rrb- . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- just a follow-up . I have not have any major problem with the router since I make the change describe above . I still would keep my rating at 4 star since configure the router be not particularly intuitive . +521 CableModem NEG 2 I have Time Warner 50mb\/s service . this modem will not work with that service , at least not in Los Angeles . it top out at about 30mb\/s . I have they connect by they modem and the speed shoot back up to 50mb\/s steady . they do not care one way or another which modem I use . it will work with the standard Road Runner service , but not the beef up service . +686 CableModem POS 5 I be look to switch to Charter Cable Internet service , so I price it out online and find that they charge $ 7 per month to rent a cable modem . so , I check what type of cable modem be require and it say DOCSYS 3.0 . hit amazon.com with that search and find this . so , I call Charter to hook I up with service , tell they I would purchase my own modem , and immediately ordererd this . get it the next day , unpackaged , hook up in under 10 minute , call Charter with the MAC address and I have Internet service with speed upward of 60mbp down \/ 4mbp up all in less than 20 minute after open the box . the spec say it will handle up to 160mbp , so when Charter get better , it should grow with they . have not have to reboot the modem a single time , like in the good ole day . the only improvement I can think of would be the modem be able to hook itself up . +233 CableModem POS 5 I have try cable tv amplifier in the past but they seem to actually make the picture worse . there be so many cable split in my house for my various tv and device -lrb- TiVo , Media Center PC , etc -rrb- that the analog channel picture quality on many be fuzzy or have distortion and I could not get many unencrypted digital qam channel at all . this both improve to analog channel to as perfect as analog get , and allow I to get the qam channel that disappear after the split ! +394 CableModem POS 4 just buy this modem a few day at firt i didnt dont wich one to choose de sb6121 or the old version sb6120 i be look all over the internet reading for a few hour about the router and i think i make a good choise . iam on a 20 mbp plan im get 25 to 26 mbp down and 3 to 4 mpb up im very happy with this moden +638 CableModem POS 5 Great little unit . reliable . cheap and all yours -lrb- no `` leasing '' the thing from you cable company ! -rrb- . I have use this in three install and they just work . they be great value for money if you get a refurb and very reliable in my experience . not much more I can say really . if you be look for a cable modem , this be it . +11 CableModem POS 5 if you need a solid no-frills cable modem that can keep pace with technology and be affordable , this DOCSIS 3.0 modem be the ticket . there be no firewall or other crap that need to be configure . it simply create a ethernet connection to the cable system . thus , you will need a router\/firewall of some kind . it work and work well . very reliable . I wish my router be as reliable as this modem be . +296 CableModem POS 5 when Comcast decide to do they digital transition , one of the dta would not activate properly . the only advice Comcast offer be to `` remove any splitter . '' that be not really a option without lose cable service to most of the house . after replace the cable run to the problem dta with new cable , I be now able to activate the dta but the signal be still degrade to the point that several of the channel be unusable . internet search indicate that the problem I experience be not uncommon and suggest a amplifier . of course , Comcast will send a tech out to fix , but it be at homeowner 's expense . I be not willing to pay they to fix a problem they create . install amplifier -- quick and easy . there be a comprehensive installation sheet , but it be not really necessary since amp input and output be well mark . before installation , signal strength at the DTA input be about 15db with a s\/n ratio of about 25 . after install the amplifier , the signal level be 1.5 db and the S\/N ratio be 37 . Works great and I do not have to pay Comcast to fix the problem . my only complaint be that I have to do it in the first place . my cable service be not break before they implement they transition . after , I have lose service to two tv -lrb- unless I want to pay they extra for additional dta -rrb- , I have a rat 's nest of wire behind each of the tv where I install dta , and there be no particular improvement in service -lrb- unless you count several additional channel which be completely worthless . -rrb- but this be not about Comcast -- it be about the amplifier . five + star . solidly build , as you would expect from Motorola . if you be have problem after Comcast `` improve '' you service , I highly recommend you take a look at this solution . +544 CableModem POS 5 bottom line : this be a great modem and it work with Comcast . Comcast just do not have its act together . this modem be not only on they approve list , it have a three star rating , which , accord to Comcast , be `` the highest and most thorough level of testing . '' when the cable installer get here -lrb- I get a new line install -rrb- , he say that this modem be not on the Comcast list . since I still have my dsl line work , I show he that not only do Comcast approve the modem but that Comcast thoroughly test it . he have to call the `` office '' to activate the internet service . the `` office '' do not want to set up internet service for this modem ; the `` office '' state that this be not a approve modem . well , he recall the `` office '' and get someone else and they set up the service . I have be happy ever since . I be suppose to get up to 20 mbp download and 4 mbp upload . my computer be connect wirelessly . Speednet state that I be get 20 to 25 mbp download and the upload speed be between 3 and 3.5 mbp . I have get similar value with speakeasy and other internet speed testing site . I have a lot of device connect : three computer -lrb- wireless -rrb- , two tv -lrb- one wire , one wireless -rrb- , three different game console -lrb- connect to the wire tv -rrb- , two Nintendo 3d -lrb- wireless -rrb- , one printer -lrb- wireless -rrb- , and a ipod touch -lrb- wireless -rrb- . at time all of these device be run at the same time - the computer be streaming you Tube video , one of the tv be streaming Netflix , etc. . the modem handle all of it effortlessly . I be really please with this modem . +249 CableModem POS 5 replace the modem I be pay Comcast $ 7\/month . it have be work great for a month without any problem . should have buy my own modem year ago . +485 CableModem POS 4 this order arrive sooner than advertise . I be use this amp to boost the signal on three Tv set , use a antenna . hd do look better on the extra tv 's now . instruction say it will not work with a satellite connection but it do improve the signal on my dish network tv no. 2 setup , when I hook up a third tv to it . +746 CableModem POS 5 this Zoom Cable Modem be connect with Comcast and work perfectly . setup be ez and I recommend it . I also have another zoom in use -lrb- different model & connect to Charter -rrb- and have confidence in the brand . +581 CableModem POS 5 I buy the Cisco-Linksys cm100 cable modem to save rent it from Comcast . should have do this year ago . I must have spend enought on rent to buy 3 of they , but Comcast would not just let I have it . it arrive in a few day , be easy to setup -lrb- although you have to call you cable provider and they do something on they end -rrb- and my cable bill go down $ 5 a month . +823 CableModem POS 5 plug it in , look at the instruction disk on how to get in to setup . set up 2 wireless network , log on to the network and check my speed . I be hit 30mbp on a 31mbps network . no problem . I would like the ability to set a bandwidth limit on the second network , I do not see that I can do that on this product , but it be a good deal . +910 CableModem POS 5 I get a letter from Comcast tell I my modem be out of date and I need to upgrade it . I do some research , find this modem which be on Comcast 's list of suggest modem , and order it . after it arrive , I swap out my old modem with this one , call Comcast customer support , and within 15 minute I be back online . it be easy to install and I be happy with the purchase . +773 CableModem POS 5 I be a Comcast customer . as most know , Comcast 's service be HORRIBLE . after make several appointment for service due to fuzzy picture in my upstairs bedroom , a Comcast service contractor finally arrive at my doorstep . after look at my four upstairs television , he basically tell I that I need a signal booster . I buy the Motorola 4-port bda-s4 amp . it work like a charm . all of my upstairs television now have extremely clear picture and sound . do not bother call the cable guy . if you have a problem with signal , buy one of these . it 'll likely fix you problem . +594 CableModem NEG 2 I buy this modem after extensive research and the great product review . it be a `` 3 star '' rate approved modem for comcast\/xfinity . the self setup be dead simple - connect the cable input to the modem , power up and let it sync with the signal . then I directly connect the modem to my laptop and `` fire up '' the browser which take I to the activation page for Comcast . inpute the information request -lrb- account no. , mac id , phone number -rrb- and activate the modem . in less than 30 minute I be online with blaze speed . I than connect my router to the modem and the network be up and run . I be amaze and really pleased with myself , Comcast and Motorola . the modem perform great for a few hour , than the problem start . I lose connection and signal sync . ok - decide to do a hard restart : I disconnect the modem , disconnect the power and the cable . do a hard restart , reconnect the cable and ethernet and be back online - for about one hour . I lose connection again . call Comcast - good tech support who check thing at he end and instruct I to do another hard restart . I be back online for the rest of the evening . however , when I get up in the morning I be again offline . at that point I check the Comcast Broadband forum for some answer . this be a known issue with many user of the sb6121 and be trace to the quality of the signal from the isp . if the signal be less than ideal -lrb- snr , Power Level -rrb- any noise will kick you offline and the modem will not self recover . you will have to do a hard restart each time to get back online . when online , you 'll get great internet speed . but you 'll suffer from frequent disconnect and the need to reboot the modem . aside from the inconvenience , the need for frequent hard reboot can not be good for the durability of the modem . so unless you have good signal quality from the isp I would recommend you buy another modem . in my case -lrb- after research the user Forum -rrb- , I switch to a zoom 5341j . so far after 2 day - no problem . by the way , after look at the certification rating on the Xfinity\/Comcast Approved Modems list more closely , I learn the `` star '' be not a measure of quality or performance of the modem . the star be a measure of the level of test the modem have go through during certification . each star be another level of testing . in summary - the Motorola sb6121 be a good modem but maybe too sensitive the signal quality for some user . +431 CableModem POS 5 I have opportunity to test two different cable modem on Comcast business service . one be Motorola SB6121 and the other Zoom 5341 . both be DOCSIS 3.0 , which be require for high speed cable service . Comcast tech support be not thrill about zoom while they praise Motorola SurfBoard high . as it turn out , average Comcast technician , who suppose to activate the modem , have a trouble with the zoom serial number . my configuration of Comcast service in this case be 2 time 50 mb\/s download and 10 mb\/s upload speed . this service suppose to supply over 1000 user with internet access , load balance mode . first line be activate with zoom modem and everything go well for several day . to the second line I attach Motorola modem ; Comcast manage to deactivate Zoom modem on the first line in process , though . initial test of Motorola show expect value in download and upload speed . however , with network connect to it , Motorola download speed do not reach more than 10 mb\/s download with upload of 2 mb\/s . after 24 hour of 1000 people complain , Comcast Technician come to check the installation and re-activate Zoom modem . test of Motorola modem with a single laptop connect do not show any abnormality : download and upload speed be at nominal value . since I could not put in place my load balancer yet , I switch the network to the Zoom modem and make 1000 surfer happy again . in a couple of day my load balance configuration should go live , use one Motorola and one zoom modem . I intend to update this review with the result of Motorola performance in this configuration , for potential buyer interested in the Motorola sb6121 . well , I decide to buy Comcast Internet service for home and I do not have dilemma which modem to choose ; zoom it be . I order on-site installation because my cable coax have to be replace and expect confusion with zoom serial number -lrb- that happen as expect , too -rrb- . anyway , Comcast get it online and my modem be happily blinking , ever after -lrb- two week in service -rrb- . the one order here have slightly different housing than the first one I deal with -lrb- buy at Microcenter -rrb- ; I assume that zoom make a change in design and this one do not get as warm -lrb- as the other one -rrb- . price difference between Zoom and Motorola on Amazon be not worth mention ; while Motorola be a big name in communication equipment I feel more comfortable for go with zoom this time . +108 CableModem POS 5 I be replace a older Cisco Cable modem I have have for about 5 year . hook up the new Motorola surfboard moden and talk about better and faster speed ! at first I be blame my service provider , suddenlink , but it be the modem . I highly recommend this modem as a upgrade . +239 CableModem POS 5 I buy this to replace a old DOCSIS 2.0 Linksys cable modem\/router . it be easy to install ! I do not even need to use they technical support . it have not give I any trouble since the day i install it . I would certainly recommend it if you be look for a new modem . +120 CableModem POS 5 Modem work as expect with no issue . my isp provider -lrb- bresnan -rrb- be finally upgrade to DOCsis 2.0 so I have to upgrade my old Linksys modem to one that support it . I simply unplug my old modem and replace it with this new one and then call my isp service department to give they the new MAC address . once they configure that on they end , I be back online and have have no problem since . I have almost always be satisfy with linksys product and use they often with little to no complaint . +628 CableModem POS 5 use a infinitv 4 tuner with Windows Media Center -lrb- Windows 7 -rrb- . before add the bda-s1 booster : signal level -26 dbmv snr 26 db after add booster : signal level -6.9 dbmv snr 30.4 db we have intermittent freezing & block on some channel ; those problem disappear when we add the booster . I recommend this for anyone who have low\/marginal signal level and snr . +95 CableModem NEG 1 I buy this because Charter recommend upgrade to a docsis 3.0 modem for better performance and this seem to be the best -lrb- costliest -rrb- available . disappointment ! installation be not smooth . on replace the modem , Charter could not restart the modem remotely , so I have to do it manually . that itself do not seem right . I see a slight speed improvement compare to my 5-year old modem , though nothing to justify the 95 buck I have shell out for this . after a week or so , it just disconnect and I could not get it to re-connect . Charter detect some bad signal come from the modem . I go back to my Ubee old modem which work fine . after a day later , hope that it be just a temporary glitch , I install the sb6121 again and it work fine for another week after which it again just disconnect . it be as if it need a day off every few day !! I can not afford to give pay vacation to modem , so I ditch it and return it to Amazon . +656 CableModem POS 4 I buy one of these baby because it be by far the cheapest modem I could find out there , and because with Amazon Prime , shipping be lightning fast . I have Comcast by the way . it work great for 4 or 5 day , and then a major Thunderstorm hit my area and there be a few power spike . the modem just stop work . none of my other electronic device be affect -lrb- include my router , which be not connect to a surge protector , my modem be -rrb- . I guess that the electrical current that kill the modem come from the cable jack , not the power supply . I be pretty upset , but I buy another one from the same seller the day after -lrb- 30 dollar be not worth the anguish of deal with Linksys customer support -rrb- , and this time I get a surge protector that insulate the power supply , as well as the cable input . be run great for 2 week now . moral of the story : protect you investment , you internet depend on it . +612 CableModem POS 5 excellent product clear up my freezing snowy picture . very easy to install , handle the 4 set no problem . if you look for a quality item this be it . +658 CableModem NEG 1 I receive this modem promptly , but when I plug it in , it be dead . no light go on . when I get in touch with the seller , I be tell I would have to send it back and pay for ship both way . I be also tell that I would have to pay a 20 % restock fee , but when I object to this outrage , I be tell that Digital Media Source `` could waive '' the restock fee . furthermore , when I call Motorola Technical support and give they the serial number , I be tell that the warranty on this modem have expire . this mean that the advertising be fraudulent , since the modem be advertise as new . I would not buy this modem if I be you , because if you do , you could end up with a modem which have no more functionality than a rock and for which you would have to pay shipping both way . the tracking number show that the seller receive my package on August 20 , but it be now September 1 and I have receive no refund at all . I do not yet know if I will ever get a refund even for the purchase price without the shipping . beware ! +834 CableModem POS 5 as simple a install as should be for a modem ... I replace my dsl with cable internet and be just a matter of plug it in and have Comcast activate it , then unhook my dsl modem and hook it up to my router and a router reboot . it do the job and I have not notice any drop since install +647 CableModem POS 5 very impress with this , and believe that other who be frustrated need to slow up a bit with they installation attempt . auto-configured and even act as a pass-thru bridge to my Netgear fvs338 firewall behind it . take ~ 5 minute for it to figure out that it want to be a bridge when it grow up . on the other hand , when I connect a single pc behind it -lrb- \* and wait \* -rrb- , it become its own NAT router . you just need to wait a few minute , and probably reboot when switching between those two mode . there be a config page if you boot with no cable connection at all , but I never even spend the time to figure out the password . the thing be literally plug and play . fast too ! +176 CableModem POS 5 I have have this little speed demon now for a little over 10 day . it work great with absolutely no flaw . I just go with Comcast in Northern ca , after be with att for the last 12 year . with att I have drop internet at least 3 time a day . Comcast and new cable modem do not believe in drop internet . go from under 5 mb with att to 26 plus mb with Comcast . after switch over to Ooma and drop att , I now pay less than I pay for the att with phone and internet charge . Life be good . while it be true that no instruction or warranty card come with the Ubee , the hook up be pretty much impossible to mess up since all the cable will only fit into they respective orifice . have not have one drop internet connection with the Ubee or Comcast . Good-Bye att . its be fun all these year . I would consider come back if you would get better product and service than my current isp . it be call COMPETITION ... and you lose ! +37 CableModem POS 5 this unit be easy to install , I just unhook the connector from my old modem and plug they into this new one , call Comcast to register the unit and it be work . Comcast just need the Mac ID number which be on the bottom of the unit and on the box it come in . they verification process take a few minute and now we internet speed be much faster ! we old modem be so old it could not handle the higher speed we be now get from Comcast . what a great difference ! +796 CableModem POS 5 Works perfect , no problem at all . Easy setup . can use it with vonage . very convenient . I be happy with this purchase . +478 CableModem POS 5 my previous Linksys cable modem start have issue -lrb- so I think -rrb- and I need a replacement . after read all the review I decide on the cm100 and I be very happy with it so far . it turn out what need to be replace be the cable company 's cable modem which they do just before the new one arrive . it would ahve be nice if they have own up to it before I buy a new modem , but there be a huge benefit to ditch my old one . once the new one arrive , I decide to use it anyway and be reward with a increase in speed . I be get about 2.5 mb\/384mb down\/up and with the new one I be now get 6.5 mb\/1 .0 mb down\/up . its well worth the investment . also the status page at -lrb- ... -rrb- have more detail than the older model I be use and include the log . +414 CableModem NEG 1 I buy this item through Fry 's for a little bit more , but I need a cable modem right away . I get home think I get a deal , and for the first two month , I do . for the last two week the cable modem have be drop the carrier signal about twice a day . for regular browse this would not be a big deal , but it become a hassle to start netflix movie over and to repeatedly get kick out of game . I have contact customer service , but do not have a resolution yet . I will keep you post . the verdict : - Easy to use and set up - perform well when it work - have a life span of 2 month save yourself the time and buy a cable modem that cost $ 20 more . you will be happier in the long run . +671 CableModem POS 5 I buy this product -lrb- Motorola SB6121 SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem -rrb- for use with COMCAST network . very satisfy to I and I recommend this for the Comcast customer and not to rent the modem from Comcast . I recommend you activate the Modem by yourself if you have Comcast Cable -lrb- TV or Phone -rrb- in you home . +766 CableModem POS 5 I be use the older iteration of this modem for many year and suddenly this past summer a hurricane name Irine hit the east coast and cause power outages\/spikes and all sort of disaster . : -rrb- - the old modem be kill . I use this with Comcast Docsis 3.0 service in the central NJ area and it could not be better . the old modem require reset and have issue with upload speed usually once or twice every few month . once I get this modem , I call Comcast , they verify that the modem be support , take the serial number\/mac address and provision it . I be get excellent speed both download and upload - download be generally 55mbps plus and upload be generally 6-10mbps ... yep that be the tier I pay for . I have not have any issue with upload speed drop down and there have be 0 necessity to reboot the modem to date . my recommendation - if you be switch to Docsis 3 and need a new modem - then buy this . also - if you be a cable internet subscriber then stop pay to rent a modem and buy you own ... the savings in the rent alone will pay for this modem and you will own it . 5\/5 in my opinion . +990 CableModem POS 5 replace a old linksy that finally die . this modem perform well , provide stable service and speed . we use comcast\/infinity isp . glad I choose this one . +609 CableModem NEU 3 after read a ton of feedback and talk to Comcast about DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem that they support , I decide to order the Motorola sb6121 . the next decision be to save a few $ $ by order the brown box\/environmentally safe packaging . do not care if it come in a plain box , just as long as its a brand-new unit . the item arrive via USPS -lrb- super slow and forget about they ability to track package -rrb- after the seller promptly ship the product . after receive the item , I immediately -lrb- and excitedly -rrb- install it and then , nothing ... I call Comcast and have a technician on the phone while we try to figure out why the unit be unable to receive the cable signal . after 15-20 frustrating minute of plug and unplug , the technician inform I that the cable modem be DOA and suggest that I send it back . I have to re-install the old 2.0 cable modem that still work , albeit on a much slower speed . one thing about the experience be the return policy of Amazon be amazing . I be a huge fan and I be a bigger fan now after this experience . great job Amazon . just sad that I do not get a work unit for whatever reason . the 3 star be for the promptness of the seller in ship the item and Amazon 's return policy . +635 CableModem POS 4 this solve all the issue I have with my isp . I be call at least once a week because of outage . I plug this in and activate it in a few minute and have not have any issue . well worth it . +78 CableModem NEG 1 right from day one I have be face issue with this product . every five minute connection get reset . strongly recommend not to buy this product . +783 CableModem POS 5 this cable modem be easy to install and it work great . it allow I to save on my cable bill by use my own modem . I highly recommend it to anyone who be think of do the same . +404 CableModem NEU 3 could not use the modem since the cable company report that my modem have the same MAC address as another customer 's and it would not work . have to send it back . I can not rate the item since I could not use it . +42 CableModem POS 5 I be a bit skeptical about the whole doc si 2.0 vs 3.0 thing . but I be sick and tired of my old bottlenecked network speed , and I decide to upgrade my modem , cable , and switch to gigabit configuration . at first I try to get Comcast to send I this modem . after four attempt , I be tell that they would charge $ 7 a month to use it ! forget that ! buy this one and hook it up yesterday . before with the old Motorola sb5101 , I be get about 2.6 mb download speed and 1.2 mb upload speed at the modem and about 1.6 mb download speed behind my 10\/100 t base standard switch . now ? while Comcast say we be pay for 12-16mb , with this new modem I be clock 24-26mb at the modem and behind the new gigabit switch . this be also with cat 5e and cat 6 cable all the way around . wow ! what a difference ! this modem be take advantage of the bond pair downstream , as the download lead stay blue . if you have a large network and you be use switch , make sure to upgrade they also to gigabit configuration . behind the only remain standard switch , my bandwidth increase only come to about 6.5 mb . behind the gigabit switch , it be a steady 24-26mb . have some issue get everything set up . the modem keep power cycling and downloading , and I could not connect . I decide to let it do its thing for about 30-45 minute . finally , it stay on and connect , and I hook my laptop up direcly to the modem and I be able to access Comcast 's activation page and within minute I be up and run , need nothing more than my account and phone number . we also have a gigabit Vonage router . that take a little more work to connect . ultimately , after several reset and reboot , the Vonage tech have I simply disconnect the coaxial cable from the modem for 30 seconds and reconnect it . not sure what that do , but it work . after that , vonage phone be up and run and network be good to go . very happy so far . update 8\/15\/2012 : after about 5 day , the Vonage router start bottleneck the bandwidth and I be only get 8-10 mb behind it while still get 25mb connect directly to the sb6121 . so I buy the Linksys e3200 gigabit router and use the Vonage vd22 device and that take care of it , back to full speed all the way around . +953 CableModem POS 4 I purchase this to avoid pay $ 7\/month rental to Verizon - at $ 80 , this will pay for itself in 1 year . the installation be easy , but I have to contact Verizon and provide they with information about this modem so that they could configure my account . the direction actually state that the cable supplier may need information about the modem so I give they credit because direction for computer equipment be usually pretty poor . I have have this about 1 month and the it have work well ; as stable as the modem I be rent from Verizon . +673 CableModem POS 5 Ive read through the good and bad review . be a it manager I start to do my home work . the low down , Cisco release a firmware upgrade , which ISP provider begin to pump out , which kick of a slew of random disconnection and reset for many however ; Cisco release a fix -lrb- in early June -rrb- to the isp and they have fix this by push this out . I try the Motorolla sb6121 first , 2 issue I have with it , one ; it run hott , two be be 4 channel downstream instead of 8 like the Cisco . with that be say , I get 5-7mb faster on my cisco than I do the motorolum . my pick be the Cisco +976 CableModem NEG 1 I be a tech for a cable company and have install literally hundred of modem and I now see why we will not deal with Motorola anymore . the modem do ' t work right out of the package . it look like I will go with a Cisco or Zoom . +644 CableModem POS 5 other than hang at the initial setup process -lrb- which simply finish at the reboot , but feel scary at the time -rrb- and a propensity to make life miserable on my previous generation docsis 2 & 3 router , I have find this docsis 3 cable modem predictable and solid . try a inexpensive e1200 Linksys router and they never speak much ... a return and twice as much money spend on a new dual-band Gigabit ASUS Black Diamond dual band wireless-n 600 router -lrb- rt-n56u -rrb- on occasion after a especially brutal power spike -lrb- even with surge-conditioned power -rrb- it will need its reboot -lrb- just unplug it for 5 seconds -rrb- but that be only rarely happen . usually just take it in stride . my wife 's WIFI laptop be much happier now while streaming - the more capable router really allow this cable modem to shine . amazing throughput ! a switch on the front be miss ... +101 CableModem POS 4 though I be very happy with the sb6121 , I be somewhat surprise by the lack of a on\/off or network enable\/disable switch -lrb- maybe I miss something ? -rrb- . also , the led light up the room which require I to take evasive action . -lrb- since this be a d-3 modem -lrb- my previous one be a d-2 -rrb- and I have recently upgrade my isp provision speed , I do some test -lrb- before and after -rrb- . it work . nevertheless , it do encourage I to tweak my wi-fi access point 's 802.11 n configuration . -rrb- +872 CableModem POS 4 I buy this to bypass rent a modem from Comcast . and im guess most of you be try to do a similar activity . ive only have this go for a few day , so I can not say anything about the stability . but so far so good , im get speed above what I be quote by comcast , around 25-30 mbp , when im sign up for 15 mbp . I have to have a comcast tech come out and setup my internet connection , because the line have be disconnect . the tech that come out say that this modem do have trouble update the first time for some reason . and it would not update properly to the service . this be mention in someone negative review . luckily the tech be able to split the line , and connect one of he modem to the line along with mine -lrb- this one -rrb- . in about 2 min it be able to update properly and everything be work fine now . overall its not too expensive of a modem , in a year it will have be the same price as renting , but then I actually have something . and the tech also say that they be pretty good modem , they just have this little problem when you first update it or set it up for the service . +49 CableModem POS 4 I buy this modem because my speed vary drastically at different time of the day , especially between 6pm to midnight when I need the internet the most , the speed would drop to less than 8 mbp . I call the isp and they say that there be something wrong with my signal strength , but they sell I a higher plan that go from 20 to 30 mbp . that do not seem to improve . the cox service guy come out and replace all the connector , say the problem of reduce strength be due to bad connector . well , that do not seem to improve . the same service guy disconnect my phone and it take another service visit two week later to fix my phone . the second service guy do not fix my Internet speed either . I call the service department and the technical help say maybe I should replace my modem from the old Motorola Doscis 2 to Doscis 3 . Got nothing to lose except maybe another $ 100 to try something else . well , that seem to solve the problem . whereas before I be get 8 mbp from 6 to midnight , I be get 20 + Mbps during those time . mostly I be get 30mbp . I be happy . +227 CableModem POS 5 the three word describe my review : small , easy , reliable pretty much sum up this product . this be the second one I be buying -lrb- the first be for my dad 's house -rrb- and now one for my home . its responsive , solid , and back by the market 's lead network manufacturer . not to mention its one of the only modem out there that have the service to back up the price . plus - who want to pay a rental fee with they isp ? lame right ? get the Cisco cm100 couple with the Cisco Linksys Router -lrb- form g w \/ linux os -rrb- and you be look at a flawless system set up to run 2 + year without hiccup . +317 CableModem POS 4 occasionally it lock up , but a simple unplug and replug and its back online . not a problem for I as the price point be quite good . +826 CableModem POS 4 Works great . I be happy that I could pay a little less for the product to come in non-logo packaging . +52 CableModem POS 5 I have have no problem whatsoever with this modem . I buy it to use with Comcast cable internet and it have work flawlessly from day 1 . +646 CableModem POS 5 four ethernet input . pure genius . my computer have be drop its wifus connection for year , drive I nut , but now it connect directly into one of the ethernet input and this be no longer a problem . this have no effect whatsoever on the other wifus connect computer in the house . set this up to work with Comcast be a snap . hopefully , this modem\/router will have a long and happy life . +384 CableModem NEU 3 originally purchase a refurbish modem that be defective upon receipt . it be a bit of a hassle in term of time and effort to receive a return authorization and mail defective unit back for replacement which take about 2 week . second unit work great . +613 CableModem POS 4 I have to do a little research on this to try to find the best `` bang '' for my buck and also a modem that be compatible with my cable company . I have have great luck with the motorolum brand and this product be no exception . it be plug and play right out of the box and take only a few minute before I be up and run on the internet . this be a great buy . - Brian Havre de Grace , md +719 CableModem POS 5 save we a monthly rental fee , work great with Comcast . it be easy to install but we have to call Comcast and register it which take 20 minute on the phone . we dont have cable with they so cant speak to that . +997 CableModem POS 5 I be tell but my cable company -lrb- Comcast -rrb- that I need a update modem . review be good and price on Amazon be $ 25 less than best buy . with less than a week until by modem would `` not be able to handle '' stuff , I order this know I might be down for a couple day . BUT , in 4 or 5 day the package be on my door step and a half hour later I be good to go . call the cable company with MAC address and bam I be up and run . everything I need be there -- do not know much about the technical side of it except it work like it should -- that be all I be look for and I get it ! +661 CableModem POS 5 I have a single cable enter my home , that Comcast install . for at least a year I be able to use a cheap passive 2-way splitter and watch both my tv thru a TiVo Premiere , and access the internet at 25mbp -lrb- nice -rrb- . but recently , for a unknown reason , the Internet Signal become too weak to access the web . the TiVo continue to work , as apparently it do not require as strong a signal . if I remove the Splitter , and connect the cable directly to my Cable Modem , the internet would work . but I want to watch tv , too ! every call to Comcast end with they want to send a technician over - while charge I $ 50 for the house call . although I have have skilled and professional Comcast Techs over in the past , I have find the majority do nothing but turn my Cable Modem on and off , and usually leave with no solution . so I proceed to eliminate the obvious . I inspect the Cable outside my home . it look in excellent shape , physically . indoors , I swap splitter . I swap Cables . no improvement . but by search the internet , I finally learn something new : I could check the signal strength myself , with equipment I already own ! my TiVo Premiere , and probably every dvr , have a sub-menu that will display signal strength . I discover mine be 67 . on a scale up to 100 , 67 be not good . and my Zoom 5341 Cable Modem -lrb- very recent and DOCSIS 3.0 -rrb- have a signal strength display as well . I expect pretty much any Cable Modem will have this function . just open m Explorer , type in 192.168.100.1 as a address , and you 'll be take to the access page . log in , and on a sub-menu the signal strength will be display . Mine be in the -5.5 to -6.5 range , on all channel . awful . so I purchase and install the bda-s4 . the signal strength on TiVo leap from 67 to 89 ! nice . but the Cable Modem be report no signal at all - Zero . I call Comcast again , and arm with this knowledge , emphasize how bad my signal strength be , for both device . the tech on the phone be impressed I could read the signal . for the first time I feel in control . he try to fix it , run I through the usual turn-it-on turn-it-off reboot drill , to no effect . each time I check the signal and tell he how poor the signal be . at last he say he need to talk to another tech - and simply disappear . he do not hang up on I , but must have be go for 30 minute or more . I never speak to he again . but what do happen , be quite suddenly the internet work ! my signal have increase from -6.0 to +6.0 . very nice . clearly Comcast do something , at they home office , that correct my signal . no tech need to visit at all . I be still use my bda-s4 , though ultimately I probably do not need it . it look to be very well make , and effective . Bottom Line : before you purchase any amplifier , check the signal strength yourself . you dvr and you Cable Modem should have this function already , you just need to know where to look . good Luck ! +193 CableModem POS 4 this modem be easy to install . if anyone be have issue get this to work with they wireless router try do this : connect the two device together and then hit the reset button on the back of the modem . it take a few minute , but work every time . do not forget to call you service provider to get this provision . they will nee the mac address of the modem to get it online with they network . the only con to this be that it do not support DOCSIS 3.0 . I contact cisco to check on this think it may just be a firmware issue and I confirm that cisco\/linksys do not have a modem that do . other than that this thing be great . I recommend that if you purchase a wireless router to go with this to check out the Buffalo wzr-hp-g300nh . it have a easy setup user friendly interface or you can use the advanced one that come install . +190 CableModem POS 4 it boost my signal , but I still need some more boost . 300 foot from the road , two way communication be weak and I still get checker board digital screen on some of the low power channel . at least I can see 99 % of the channel now . +41 CableModem POS 5 I recently move into a new home and sign up for Comcast but really do not want to lease a modem so I decide to buy my own . I check eBay but it end up be cheaper she on Amazon . Gotta love Prime . Comcast come and set everything up and it have not skip a beat since I plug it in . I would definitely recommend this modem ... +155 CableModem NEG 1 do not buy this modem because it do not last more than 1 month !!! first i see it be not bad . . but after all the light be not flash . . it become the worst thing to buy . the price be not very cheep . `` Touchstone Cable Modem WBM760A '' be better if you use comcast ! +892 CableModem POS 4 Linksys CM100 , be a good product and installation be pretty simple and straight forward and have be perform to satisfaction . +98 CableModem POS 5 work out great to connect with comcast internet . the connection be do by a technician , but he have no trouble connect to the internet and to a router . I would highly recommend if you want to avoid the rental fee of a modem . +754 CableModem POS 4 I have have this install on Comcast -lrb- North NJ -rrb- for the last week . so far it be work fantastic , operate well above what I would have expect to get off Comcast 's network . that be say it do appear to be somewhat sensitive to signal issue . I have to have a Comcast tech come out and help trace out a wire because the modem would go squirrely around 9:30 or 10 every night and then start work in the morning . we located and remove 2 splitter which have clean up the signal strength issue -lrb- it be run at the top of the spec would strength for outgoing and incoming message -rrb- . hopefully thing continue go well ! +986 CableModem NEU 3 buy this modem to gain access to higher speed Comcast service . and it work - for a while . so far , at least once a week , I must power cycle the modem which seem to get stick in some hose state from which it never recover with a 4 mbit downstream speed limit . immediately after restart it be 25mbit . look elsewhere . +798 CableModem POS 4 be easy to set up . only have to plug it in , connect the cable to the box and ethernet cable to the network card and let it do its thing . do not have to load include software and it work with Comcast high speed just fine . +524 CableModem NEG 1 I order this a couple day ago and be still try to get it to work flawlessly . I buy it , of course , to help drive down my Comcast bill but lately it be be stay active for anywhere between 20 min to 4 hour . it be get better and with every call to Comcast i feel better that it be go to be a great modem . I be get a easy 36 mb down and 6 up which be a little better than what I pay for . I 'll update this as soon as I be confident the modem will become stable . 1\/8\/13 Update : it be not go to happen . I have call Comcast 6 time , different answer each time , I have move the modem to every free and splice line in my house , none work . it be honestly like the science experiment where if you check on the router -lrb- 192.168.100.1 -rrb- it crash . or if you do not check you get anywhere between 5 min to 4 hr of uptime but a crash be inevitable . I have read extensively on this and it seem like a botched firmware upgrade . I would avoid this modem for the time be if you be in the metro-atlanta area with comcast . I have read that people have have some success with the zoom brand or you could just get another Arris which be what I be consider +895 CableModem POS 5 arrive quickly . Works great . just plug in and call Comcast . give they the number off the box and it work great . save I 5 buck a month . +802 CableModem NEG 1 when i go to set it up with comcast i do everything right but comcast could not get the mac address to work . on this unit . I have a feeling this unit be in a plane box for other reason than save the planet . +724 CableModem POS 5 I purchase a refurbish one and it work great . it be less expensive than the other . I would recommend it . +361 CableModem POS 5 I have a antenna in the attic for my tv reception . split the signal between the tv 's in my house cut the signal strength in half . this Motorola unit instead of a basic splitter bring my signal back up and allow I to divide one antenna to all of my room . do exactly what I hope . +178 CableModem POS 5 Easy set up . Works well with Charter Cable . the installer come in , run the cable provision the modem and it be do . nothing for I to `` configure '' or fiddle with . since then it `` just work '' the way it be suppose to . use the modem for Charter 's 30M down , 4m up service level . the only thing I miss -lrb- vs. my old dsl modem -rrb- be a activity light that blink in sync with the traffic that be actually pass through . the 6121 have a activity light that just flash at a constant speed , all the time . the real activity light give I a sense of what be happen on the network connection - but now with 5x faster speed , maybe that will not be a concern . bottom line , I recommend this product . +617 CableModem POS 5 install the Cisco cable modem and call the Internet Service provider with MAC information and in seconds I be up and run . this unit be a replacement for a Motorola modem that be have issue . it be work and perform great . I recommend this modem . +705 CableModem POS 4 since I have nothing to compare it to , I can only say that it do exactly what it be suppose to do . this modem be recommend as a update to the previous and much older version I have . I buy it through the Amazon website because I have purchase from they before and , like all product I purchase from they , expect it to perform exactly as it be advertise . since it do , there be nothing more I need to say . +461 CableModem POS 5 Modem be not plug and play . spend about 45 minute on the phone with Comcast to get modem working . have to supply the serial number and MAC ID number . however , when I get it work , my speed go from 13mb download with the my old Motorola Surfboard to 33mb download with the 6120 . similarly , upload go from 1.3 mb to 6mb . Works great once it be configure with you isp . +481 CableModem POS 5 Works as describe . so far after one month it have be a `` set it and forget it '' product . amazing deal at $ 30 with free shipping . +454 CableModem POS 4 have use this product for a few month now . pro : setup be a breeze , just follow the instruction leaflet . Initializes fast when you turn it on -lrb- compare to my previous Terayon 715 modem -rrb- small form factor - do not take up too much desk space . interface to my Belkin wireless with no issue . con : seem to lose the broadband connection a bit more often than my old modem . my old Terayon lose the link once in a month or so run 24\/7 . this one do it every two-three week or so . not a big deal , just need to turn it off and on again . but I be curious as to why it happen more often than my old modem . overall a good product for the money . I would definitely recommend . +148 CableModem POS 5 the modem be deliver exactly as promise , it arrive early , and it work great . my internet speed have more than double since switching from the modem I be rent from Charter . +60 CableModem POS 5 after read the review on this product and the subsequent model 6121 , I decide to go with this one and do not regret it ! I call Cable one and give they the MAC address to get connect , it be a snap . add wireless -lrb- see my review of the Medialink Wireless N Router - 802.11 n -rrb- , and off you go . +721 CableModem NEG 1 lack feature . Poor Documentation . no support . I be upgrade from dsl to Cable Internet and purchase this modem to avoid the high charge my cable company want to charge I for a modem and wifus . while this modem may work for most people , I find it lack router feature that most router have . I have two computer that run different application that require port forwarding from the router to work . I could only port forward to one computer at a time . if I put the second computer in DMZ then I could not even port forward to the first computer . when I call Motorola for support they tell I I need a older firmware to make it work for I and to contact my cable company to have it download to my modem . why would anyone remove functionality from they firmware ? bad move on Motorola 's part . when I call the cable company , they would not touch it since it be not there modem . in other word no one be willing to support this modem . the only other fix be to put the modem into bridge mode and use a second router that would handle the port forwarding . give the cost of this modem why would I want to use it just as a modem ? I also find the documentation for the modem both online and that package with the unit to be lack . there be multiple box that could be modify that do not have any explanation or description in the documentation . if all you need to do be use wireless to connect a laptop this modem will probably work for you . if you need to do anything more than that you may have problem . if you need support , forget it . Motorola will not update firmware . the cable company will not update the firmware . in the end I have return this modem to Amazon.com and rent a basic modem from my cable company that I be use with my router . at least this way the cable company will support the modem and the router manufacture can not hide behind the cable company . +995 CableModem POS 4 the less I pay Comcast , the better . this should pay for itself in a few month . Make sure you have you Comcast account number before you install , you will need it to reconnect to they network . +659 CableModem POS 5 we house have 3200 + sq. ft. of live space on three level with several cable tv outlet throughout the house . the associate cable run for these outlet be long and thus a lot of signal loss . in fact i do not have enough signal to operate a cable box anywhere except for one location in the house . needless to say the tv reception be marginal at best in most of the house . after install this product I have enough signal strength to put a cable box anywhere in the house . the tv have never have such good picture quality . my internet speed increase substantially . installation be a breeze . I would definitely recommend this product for those experience problem such as mine . +715 CableModem POS 5 I have purchase this modem to replace a old Motorola Surfboard 5101u that give I unreliable connection . installation be easy ; all it take be a 10 minute call to Comcast and it be up and run . the speed be great ; I have the Performance package through Comcast and be able to get consistent 20-25 mbp download and 3-6 mbp upload speed . so far I have not notice any problem with this modem and have have strong reliable connection . +89 CableModem POS 4 I live in Chicago and have RCN as my cable\/isp . last week I get a letter say that the modem rental rate be go up $ 2\/month . buy this modem , hook it up , call RCN with my MAC address , reboot my computer , and voilum ! only get 4 star because it be just a cable modem afterall . if it have some other feature , it could have get a 5 . Mine be ship with a cd . if you explore what be on the cd , you will find the install instruction . if you hav not install electronics or know how to explore you cd for the installation guide , you may have some difficulty get this to work , and you might end up post a bad review on amazon when really , it be just you . if you be spend more money to rent , than it would be to buy a modem , this be a solid buy . +786 CableModem POS 4 when my cable installer see this modem he immediately say that it would not work . I tell he try anyway , and it do not work . after he leave , I spend a while back and forth on the phone with Comcast and Motorola . finally , the only way I get it to work be to go into the modem setting through my browser and reset it to factory default . I take 1 star off for difficulty get it work , but it do boost I from about 25mbit to about 36mbit download speed . +522 CableModem POS 5 I just replace my Motorola Surfboard modem with the cm-100 and it be work flawlessly since install . I have a wireless network in my home consist of all linksys product and the reliability and performance be all there ! +940 CableModem POS 4 no problem for 2 month now . cheaply build , but work well . it arrive on time and work with Comcast internet provider . +30 CableModem POS 5 best damn amp I have ever use give great boost to signal and internet fly aaaaaa + + + + + + + + + + +878 CableModem POS 4 this be fairly easy to install but the first one I receive keep disconnect . after hour on the phone with Motorola and my cable provider , I return it and get a new one . I have the cable company handle the installation and it work very well . no disconnect and very fast on the speed test . +352 CableModem NEG 1 I try to connect it to my exist router that be also make by Linksys\/Cisco . it do not work . I call Linksys support hope that since both modem and router be by the same company , they would help . the lady on the support line tell I since the router be out of warranty , we need to charge $ 40 to configure it for you over the phone . this may include firmware upgrade as well . I then return the modem and purchase a D-Link modem . it work out of the box without require any change in my router . I be very surprised and unhappy with linksys\/cisco . first , the modem be brand new and they try to shift the issue to router . second , they build both product and there be no mention or warn that the modem do not work with older linksy router . Third , D-Link modem work without require any change in router . this mean Linksys\/Cisco break interoperability and try to charge for fix it . Linksys be now in my blacklist . when I upgrade my router - to be do shortly - , I will shop for non-linksys brand . +674 CableModem POS 5 the fastest modem I have ever own . I can really get top speed . I can now upgrade my speed with Comcast . if you want the best at this time get this modem . +119 CableModem NEG 2 buy it for my mom last fall because my brother -lrb- the electronics geek -rrb- say dont get two separate unit ... so I take back the two separate unit that work well , and get this nightmare . as soon as we hook it up it begin reject any and all other device . spend over three week off and on -lrb- approx 25 hr -rrb- with tech support , finally accept internet through cable tv . it be still reject the brand new printer\/fax machine that be also suppose to be compatible . I wish I just leave well enough alone . the space she save be not worth the hassle , and it cost I $ 10 more than the other unit . +160 CableModem POS 4 ... it seem that various isp be break FCC regulation and Federal Law by refuse to activate some newer modem , in a attempt to force user to use a `` lease '' modem . there be a essentially identical version of this device , the sb6141 , which be the `` isp lease '' version of this . you can not buy that , at least not `` officially , '' mind you . Time Warner Cable have just have I on the `` loop '' for the past two and a half hour , and I be still on hold as I write this . they be tell I that the device be not on the `` approved list '' and thus can not be activate on they system . this , of course , be patent nonsense . all they require in order to access any device be -lrb- a -rrb- a device which speak the same electronic `` language '' -lrb- in this case , DOCSIS 3.0 , which TWC Austin support fully , and brag about support fully -rrb- , and -lrb- b -rrb- a valid , unique hfc MAC ID code . the MAC ID be what allow the two device -lrb- the isp 's `` source '' modem and you modem -rrb- to talk to each other , as the isp need to know that the ID it be talk to be a id which it be suppose to talk to , and they need to speak the same language . that be all that be REQUIRED ON ANY TECHNICAL BASIS whatsoever . it be a violation of Federal Law and FCC regulation for a isp to refuse to service any device which have a valid , unique , and `` not steal '' MAC ID and which use a approve communication protocol . those of you who have be tell `` Comcast will not support this '' or , as I just be , `` Time Warner will not support this , '' please realize , you be be rob , every bit as much as if they put a gun to you head and tell you to hand over you wallet . it be a crime for they to do this . I be currently on hold , with a `` customer advocate '' at Time Warner , attempt to get my personally-owned , legally-required-to-be-supported device add to my account . \*\*\*\*\*\* okay , after a long dialog where I quote letter and verse of Federal law to the `` advocate , '' I get they to add my modem to my account . and it be work flawlessly . I would not ordinarily post thing not specifically about the device on a review of the device , but in this case , I feel like it be necessary , as some folk may believe they have get a defective piece of hardware -lrb- base upon what the isp tell they -rrb- when this be not the case . my ping time have improve ... which be somewhat surprising to I , honestly ... from about 58m to around 20m . I be not sure why that be the case , but it be a good indication that I have a better connection -lrb- lower ping time mean less delay between when you send something at one end and when it be receive at the other end , basically -rrb- . my throughput be much more consistent and level , and I have not see any of the disconnection error I have see repeatedly with my older -lrb- DOCSIS 1.0 -rrb- modem . it seem to be perform flawlessly . if you have a internet service provider -lrb- isp -rrb- who have support for DOCSIS 3.0 -lrb- the latest iteration of the modem-interaction-language standard -rrb- , this be a great choice . just be prepare to have to argue a bit with you isp , who seem , in many case , to be do everything possible to get you to lease one from they instead of buy you own . once they give in and agree to activate the MAC code on they system , this will work just fine on ANY current isp , and will provide full DOCSIS 3.0 support on any DOCSIS 3.0-supporting network . do not let the script-reading `` support '' type tell you otherwise . +174 CableModem POS 5 the seller package this item very carefully and ship it post haste . the product be excellent and do what it be advertise to do . the price be excellent and I recommend they highly . I have a long run of coax from the cable provider to the last tv set on the line and this device fix the problem of all tv in the house not receive the identical channel . it be easy to overlook the lose of signal in the wire . this device compensate very well . I highly recommend it . +903 CableModem POS 5 receive the unit fast and come in great condition . no issue and be easy to setup . keep in mind you will need to call Comcast after connect the unit and give they the MAC address to connect it on they side . +926 CableModem POS 5 it work great , it work well with Comcast and be what they recommend\/lease out so that be perfect for I and it come out to be cheaper to buy it instead of lease it . this be definitely the cheapest you 'll come across so I recommend it from amazon . +678 CableModem NEG 1 it seem people who buy this modem and could not get a signal from they ISP Comcast be because of the modem itself be defective . I have Charter and mine could not get a signal from they as well . Tech on the phone be try to provision the modem but could not get a signal . I have to put back on my sb6120 modem and tech re-provision it , it work right away . +939 CableModem POS 5 I use previosly the modem model 5041 over 5 year already . there be issue with connection at first time , but it be solve when I call to my provider -lrb- Comcast by the way -rrb- . since then I never have any problem with this equipment . I would keep it till it die of the old age but on Dec 14 2009 Comcast upgrade its network so I have to pick new modem from they approve list of modem for 3 day before of marked day . I check review and pick the ZOOM 5241 . I have wireless router -lrb- linksy 54g -rrb- connect to my 5241 . what do I do for setup . 1 . Unplugged old modem from power , coaxial and router , 2 . plug new modem 5241 to he power adapter , coaxial cable and router -lrb- with rj45 connector -rrb- , 3 . Lunched Internet browser -lrb- firefox or ie -rrb- , 4 . I get Comcast page with instruction automatically -lrb- it would not let go for another until setup be do -rrb- , 5 . follow technician instruction -lrb- which not require any special skill -rrb- , 6 . enter my current account number and Comcast show I all my datum include physical and mac address . I do not plug in directly from modem to pc . at first Comcast do not pass linksy . I just ignore it and `` run diagnostic '' -lrb- which be just a button -rrb- again . everything be set up automatically . after too reboot I get perfect connection wire and wireless . download speed jump up dramatically . PS . one week later . zoom 5241 work now with renew Comcast network very good . however once I lose connection but because of the my LinkSys 54g wireless router . after I hit reset button on it I get all my connection back . so it be a linksys issue . right now zoom + Linksys work flawlessly . and I notice that download speed go up about 10 time faster -lrb- Limewire from 15-24 kb to 200-500 kb - 250 average -rrb- . well 5041 be useless for Comcast IP for today anyway but 5241 work perfect . I pick mine in Fry 's Electronics with describe above characteristic for $ 54 . good luck 2 year later . the Zoom modem still work without problem . however , LinkSys wireless transmission become unstable . it be possibly that it happen because of em interference . I switch 54g to Linksys e1500 . it work now so far so good . two month later . the Linksys e1500 router refuse to work . I have long conversation with Cisco , follow they instruction , and they agree that it be defective . so , I return it . ironically , the old router LinkSys 54G , which I try again , suddenly start to work without loose a signal . anyway , the modem be still on and never fail . +577 CableModem POS 5 no complaint . it be easy to set up and forget . it work well with my Linksys router . it be not expensive . and I be not pay the cable company a monthly rental fee . and when I be ready to switch cable isp it be just a phone call because the hardware be mine . hint : you have to give the cable company the MAC address of the new modem . also if you be use it with a router it be not plug and play . you need to give the router the IP address of the modem . +937 CableModem POS 5 just want to send a warn out there for people like I who be not tech savvy with modem - I find out the hard and long way that this modem will not work if you have Comcast internet and telephone . it only have a cable jack and a Ethernet jack -lrb- the Ethernet cable be the cable that run from you computer or router to the modem -rrb- . for Comcast voice , you need a telephony cable modem that have a cable jack , Ethernet jack , and a phone jack . I discover after a visit to fry that 99.9 % of the cable modem do not have phone jack - 3 of the 4 salespeople I speak with have never even hear of one have a phone jack . however , the best buy that have a Comcast installation center in they do sell the special telephony cable modem -lrb- brand be Arris -rrb- , but it cost $ 150 . I be sure I could have find one cheaper online , but I be pretty do with it by then . the rental fee for the Arris modem through Comcast be $ 7 a month . it would take over 21 month of rental fee to pay off the $ 150 price , and by then something new would be on the market . so I just bite the bullet and rent from Comcast . Hope this info save someone else a day of frustration . +816 CableModem POS 5 I can not believe how quick and painless this modem be to install . Unpack box , shut down computer , plug in power and cable to modem , turn computer back on , wait until all modem light have activate , call Comcast so they can see you modem , and voilum - I be up and run . from unpack the box to be online be less than 15 minute . and most of that time be shut down my computer and bring it back up again . I wish everything I hook up to my computer be this easy . +591 CableModem POS 5 isp : Comcast Comcast Internet Package : Performance -lrb- 15 mbp -rrb- Comcast provide modem : they `` latest DOCSIS 3.0 Arris '' modem Router : Linksys E4200 v1 the reason why I buy this modem be simple ... why pay $ 7\/month to rent a modem when I can buy one myself , with potentially better spec , and cost savings 10 month out . I find good review for this modem and figure why not , especially since http:\/\/mydeviceinfo.comcast.net\/ show that this specific modem be sign off as support by Comcast , along with they highest , 3-star rating . I can not be certain that the new Motorola modem be buy I speed\/reliability over the Arris modem , but I know that my wife and I have be run we computer and game console without a hitch . with the Arris modem , we find the internet to slow down several time a week require modem reboot , but maybe we be just get lucky . but hey , possible positive be a good thing right ? I be pay for Comcast 's performance package which claim speed of 15 mbp down . with the Arris I be see speed around ~ 17-25 mbp down . with the new Motorola I be see 20-25 mbp down -lrb- both much higher than expect -rrb- . I have see slow upload with both modem , but I think that be a Comcast thing . -lrb- random : I previously have fio 25\/25 and be get 30\/25 . those be the good ol' day -rrb- if you be use this with Comcast , remember that you be go to have to contact customer service and get they to send a signal to you new modem in order for it to work - do not expect it to be plug-n-play . +47 CableModem POS 4 I purchase this modulator-demodulator -lrb- modem -rrb- for use with my Comcast Broadband Internet Service . it be work well with no complaint , no complaint at all ! +333 CableModem POS 4 I recently replace my 10yr old Toshiba modem for a Linksys cm100 . the download speed be now about 30 % faster but only from those site closest to I here in Phoenix . I be also experience packet loss which appear as if the internet keep disconnect . I call COX about the issue and they say my Toshiba be to old to support and before they would review my circuit I need to buy a new modem . I learn while talk with a rep at cox , while give they the new MAC address and serial number , that they cable network now support doci 3.0 . this modem support doci 1.0 , 1.1 and 2.0 but not the newest 4 channel bonding standard . there be limited doci 3.0 compliant modem available but a internet search do find they for $ 85 + . this modem work just fine but in hindsight I would have pay the price difference for a modem that support the newer standard . the final comment be that it might not matter that much as regular testing of download speed on my work 's 45mb fiber connection find that access to server even a few state away be limit to 3-5mbs download . +850 CableModem NEG 1 product be refurbish . Wish I would have see the other review before purchase . the ac adapter include be a dud - rather than deal with the hassle of return it , I simply use a old adapter that I just happen to have , then it work fine . many time refurbish product be not such a bad idea - the item have supposedly be test after be send back to the manufacturer , but after this I will never buy a Linksys refurbish product . shame on Amazon.com for not clearly state such a important detail in the description . +900 CableModem POS 5 I buy this about a month ago because I be sick of rent one ffrom Comcast for $ 7\/month or whatever they be ; plug it in and it work , no issue to date . internet do seem somewhat slow ... though I do not think that have anything to do with modem specifically . +894 CableModem POS 5 I get this to replace my old modem which be still on lease from Comcast and be at end of life . the sb6121 be easy to set up , and have be work great ever since it be install . ship be very fast , and the modem arrive sooner than the delivery estimate . I would purchase this modem again if I need a replacement . +587 CableModem POS 5 it be easy to connect . all you have to do be connect the wire and you be good to go ! +346 CableModem POS 4 this replace my Comcast router with no issue . it be not difficult to set up . acticate online folow the process discribe in the first review . Easy seal , this thing be fast !!! +205 CableModem POS 5 I do not get why all these people be have problem install this . electronic thing be not my forte . I be the `` hit the big button '' type . you disconnect you current modem . you put this one in , in it be place . it do have its own power cord , so you will need to climb under\/around the desk to get that square away . it turn on . call you cable company , they need some number off of the include paperwork . they do they thing . they may ask you to unplug the power supply from the back of it , so go ahead and do that . they will tell you when to plug it back in , so do that too . voila ! I be a 64 yr old grandmother with Comcast Cable . my friend who be 72 and have Charter do the same thing . +400 CableModem POS 5 recently , we provider -lrb- Mediacom -rrb- introduce 50meg internet in we area , which require the use of a Docsis 3.0 modem . I purchase this after read the review , and be very impressed with the result . as I upgrade both my cable modem and internet at the same time , I can not attribute gain in internet speed to one or another , but I be consistently pull 47meg down\/5meg up on speedtest.net , which be great speed in my book ... the modem do what it should ... connect I to the web , and it seem to do a very nice job of it after about 3 week . have never have a issue that i have have to reboot it -lrb- problem frequent with my last modem -rrb- and just continue to work . one word of advice be to make sure to keep the box , as it have the ID you will need when you call you cable company to activate you modem once you hook it up . Might be somewhere on the modem as well , but find it on the box be convenient . overall , very good buy . +684 CableModem POS 5 I have the highest speed comcast connection available in my area and have be pay a monthly modem fee for several year now . I have be think about purchase my own modem for some time but just hadnt get around to it . with the lease modem I be get around 9-15 mbp on speakeasy or other speedtest site . with the Motorola sb6121 I be now average 30 + Mbps and have even see it peak up to 80mbp at time ! this modem will pay for itself in a year and be a amazing improvment over the lease comcast modem . setup be a breeze and I have have no issue with it . I just wish I would have upgrade a few year ago . +606 CableModem POS 4 I have a high end workstation that I use for cad work . it have two gigabit ethernet port . I be never able to get team to work with the adapter and lately I have to turn off ipv6 and change some other setting in order to keep from drop my connection . other computer on my network be also experience slow connection . after do some research here and elsewhere I decide to try the Motorola Surfboard sb6121 since I be run and old sb5101 . initially I just run the ethernet cable directly into a laptop from the modem . when I power it on I keep get the modem reset that people be talk about . so I try connect to the modem by typing 192.168.100.1 into my browser . at first I could not connect then I finally do and be able to look in the log on the cable modem to see what be go on . the log show it continually reboot because of a t4 timeout . so I call Comcast and within a half a hour I be up and run . once I get my router hook back up I have to restart my computer a couple of time due to some IP address conflict . since then it have be work flawlessly . I be even able to enable team my network adapter ! I check my speed on speetest.net before and after the modem . my download speed do not change much but my upload speed double ! so far I be very happy ! +819 CableModem NEG 2 I have Comcast and purchase this wireless gateway -lrb- cable modem & router in one case -rrb- to use at home for a few reason . 1 -rrb- to stop pay Comcast $ 7 each month to rent a cable modem , 2 -rrb- to upgrade from a old Linksys 802.11 b router that limit download speed and have only the -lrb- not very secure -rrb- wep encryption . installation of the Zoom 5350 be easy , instruction be very good . everything be great , in fact , except for the wireless range . this 802.11 n product should have more range than the Linksys 802.11 b router from 2000 that it replace . at least in my house it be substantially inferior to that older router . I try different orientation of the case and different height in the room -- no improvement . I return the product today to best buy -lrb- no problem do that -- thanks best buy ! -rrb- and replace it with a zoom 5341j cable modem and a Linksys 1550 wireless router -lrb- 2.4 GHz only -rrb- . this combination of two separate device work much , much better . the cable modem electronics be probably identical to those in the Zoom 5350 , but the Linksys router be obviously either a stronger signal or a better -lrb- set of -rrb- antenna -lrb- s -rrb- . everyone 's house be different , but if you have a small house with not too many interior wall , then the Zoom 5350 might be a great product . if you need better wireless coverage , I would recommend the Linksys 1550 router and a separate cable modem . +999 CableModem POS 5 fast delivery , work like a charm . save money since you will not pay $ 7-8 to Comcast . Easy to setup , even though there be instruction . highly recommend ! +665 CableModem POS 5 receive Saturday and after one day this modem really be perform SUPER ! Easy , easy setup and online in minute . boost my Wireless speed from 4 or 5 mbp to 18-19 mbp ! WOW ! sound like a keeper to I !! +759 CableModem POS 5 I never ever purchase refurbish , but the price differential be just too great not to give it a try . I have receive a email from Charter say that they have upgrade they system and that my old modem would not give optimum performance . label on CD say to `` Run CD First . '' if you be run xp like I be and use a cable , no need to run the CD . just remove the old modem , plug in the power cord for the new one . then attach you cable cord and the cable either to you computer or to you router . next , call you Cable provider and give they the mac number that be on the bottom of the modem and on the sticker on the box . the cable provider -lrb- Charter in my case -rrb- will enter the number and get you up and run . if you have a router , you will probably have to reset it also -lrb- just unplug it and plug it back in -rrb- . that be all you have to do ! the CD have a folder name `` Vista '' which I assume have driver . if you connect with usb cord , I do not know if you have to install anything . less than 5 minute for I to change the modem and be up and run -lrb- the hardest thing be to get through the \*\*\*\*\* automate answer for Charter and get connect to a real live person . -lrb- it take I longer because I do love tell the thing to `` shut up '' . -rrb- +967 CableModem NEG 1 buy it for my the comcast cable internet . Comcast have certify this . and the box in which this come boldly display the certify by comcast mark . but it barely work I keep have trouble like lose connection and finally one day it completely stop work . the Comcast technician who visit my place tell I many other people face the same problem with this one but Comcast refuse to officially remove this from the list of certified modem . finally now I be use a surfboard and it do not have any problem . +801 CableModem POS 4 this seem to work well . I just wonder why cable modem be so expensive . seem like I be get rip off , but I guess that be life . +582 CableModem POS 5 product arrive on time , in brown box as describe in ad . connect to my system and after a few call to Comcast get it up & run . I guess Comcast prefer you rent they equipment which be mostly DOCSIS 2.0 and slower . +224 CableModem POS 5 for the price , this thing will pay for itself in no time . it be much better quality than tha bulky modem you get when you sign up for a account with the cable company . I also see this at best buy for 80 dollar so you be get a good deal here . I almost always buy new but for something like this ... it really do not matter . I would do it again . +53 CableModem POS 4 Motorola SB6121 provide high-speed internet connection through Comcast service . the price be a little high but it be worth replace the rental modem from Comcast . also , WiFi router need to be reset and reconfigure after connect this modem and Vonage router would not connect directly to one of its port . +568 CableModem POS 5 I have comcast internet . Works great ! no problem . we watch movie , play game and surf , it do everything I hope for . +96 CableModem POS 5 the modem be not even bad at all . I use to have a DOCSIS 2.0 Modem and it suck . it keep on drop its connection to comcast . i buy this modem and it work perfectly . i dont know what other people be talk about , because this modem work just fine to I . +749 CableModem NEU 3 I just install the modem today -lrb- take Comcast 1-3\/4 hour to provision -rrb- and be satisfied thus far . the modem have not link up completely after be connect for 80 minute . it be use , however , and I will return if it do not link up by tomorrow at this time . I be get same download and upload speed , relatively as with Comcast Cisco Modem , but the ping rate be much higher , which be a concern . Arris WBM760A Touchstone DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem I understand the item be use , but it should have include those item . I just edit this review after learn what should have be include . after communicate with seller today , 6\/11\/12 , I decide to expand my review . seller offer I a 50 % discount if I would remove my negative feedback . I agree , but Seller would not issue credit until I do so . please note : additionally , item be not receive in `` very good '' condition , it be scractch and bang up . it also do not include a back-up battery , as Seller indicate to I . I understand I can return the modem for a full refund , but it be quite a undertaking to provision , and I can not afford to be without internet access . I make the choice to purchase from this seller , base on the positive percentage , so I must accept the consequence of that decision . however , I would not recommend buy from this seller . +691 CableModem POS 5 product perform excellent , be able to hook up three additional tv and the picture be great . delivery be three day ahead of time wow +245 CableModem POS 4 this product be easy to install and I be able to use it straight away . small and compact . 6mon now and it be still do a great job . it be compatible w \/ the netgear wi-fi router . +189 CableModem NEU 3 I be a renter and have move around a lot over the past 5 year so I always figure , `` just rent the modem , I do not want to be stick with a expensive piece of hardware that could be worthless if I move . '' then , after price everything out it make sense . quick math : Comcast want $ 7\/month to rent they modem -lrb- which be a worse quality modem -rrb- . you sign a 12-month contract with Comcast . $ 7\/month \* 12\/months\/year = $ 84 per year . even if you move after you contract be up , this modem will have a resale value , conservatively , of 50 % . it be insane to rent a modem . just buy this and sleep easily at night . +619 CableModem POS 5 I replace cable and satellite with a tv antenna in the attic . I try to use a non-powered splitter on the cable that pass the antenna from the cable breakout box to the new Panasonic 50 '' plasma hdtv in the living room and back down to the breakout box and that be a no go . I have the Kennesaw mountain between I and the Atlanta transmitter so I first add a single output Motorola BDA amp between the antenna and the first splitter but the 15 db up be still knock down by 3.5 db -lrb- or 7 db I do not remember -rrb- by the splitter . the main tv only have the single cable from the one splitter and it be work great but the other tv go through a additional 4 way splitter and that definitely be 7 bd down per output . I replace this 4 way with the bda-s4 and now the other room be get really good reception . on all tv 's Channel 46-1 CBS and 11-1 Atlanta Live be lose during certain condition in the day -lrb- night and rain -rrb- but morning seem to be they best time . I do not think of -lrb- or know about -rrb- use the dual output BDA amp from Motorola in lieu of the first splitter or I might have get better reception on the iffy channel . oh well , what another $ 50.00 ? the hdtv local news channel pop out at you -lrb- do I mention my new 50 '' hdtv screen -rrb- and I think the show be better look than satellite -lrb- because its free ? -rrb- the show I do not get over the air I use Hulu , Netflix on PS3 , or direct to the station web sight on a pc . now I need a good hd-dvr and I be set . +714 CableModem POS 5 for Time Warner Cable customer in Socal : just get the cable modem upgrade to my system TWC be roll out the 50gb wideband option utilize the SBG6580 DOCSIS 3.0 modem . Works as modem and wireless n only , you will have to keep the old Arris modem for internet phone call . Installers note : Motorola SBG6580 come with the same 192.168.0.1 initial address as the DLINK wireless router . take the DLINK wireless dir-855 out of you system and use a dlink access point dap-1525 which have different initial address for programming set up of all you wireless need . im get 30gb down and 5gb up right now ... +381 CableModem POS 5 this be the second booster I have install . it work so well at the other place , I have to get one for the new place . +730 CableModem POS 5 have read through all the previous review , be a bit concerned I would have to be on the phone with Comcast all night get this set up . not true . plug it in , attach Apple wireless router , call Comcast and give technician MAC ID , he say give it 10 to 15 minute , hang up phone - internet be work ! and at blaze speed , mind you . we have not think much about upgrade since we be not have any problem , per se -lrb- we stream music , play online game , surf , watch and record cable , etc - sometimes all at once -rrb- , but a friend at work have mention that he receive a letter from Comcast state he modem be out of date and suggest he upgrade to DOCSYS 3.0 . so we take the plunge too , since we could not recall how old we modem be . previously , streaming music would sometime have to re-buffer , Netflix streaming would cut out , would get disconnect from online game ... . we blame the provider at the time but no more ! not one problem with connectivity since we install this ! one bit of advice for Comcast subscriber - try to get to a Tech support person . I punch in that I have trouble with my internet , that get I to a technician ... since there do not seem to be a straight `` press 3 for tech support '' option . all he need be the MAC ID , which be on the device itself or the box it come in . +405 CableModem POS 5 really someone should have tell I to just buy this - would have save a bunch of time - if you have Comcast this be the one for you +74 CableModem POS 5 I have Comcast internet , and activate this modem be not too bad at all .

I have be use it for more than a month . +755 CableModem POS 4 Works out of the box . it be just a bit expensive . compare to the other rate modem out there . the led be too bright . +15 CableModem POS 5 it be easy to setup . it improve my speed from 19meg to 31 meg . I would recommend this product to anyone whose on a DOCSIS 3 cable line . +312 CableModem POS 5 work great out of box ; easy setup . no dropout in several week -lrb- unlike the Dlink modem it replace -rrb- . it do what it be suppose to do -lrb- act invisible -rrb- ; recommend highly . +761 CableModem POS 5 prior to purchase this modem i do some extensive research . there be several excellent modem on the market but i choose this one because of the exceptional speed , reliability and stability it offer . +66 CableModem POS 5 we just drop we satellite subscription because of the mismatch between value and cost -lrb- too expensive ! -rrb- now with we digital antenna and this wonderful amplifier , we high Definition tv now receive about 15 channel and we live in remote Wyoming ! we have use the antenna for one of we little hdtv and only get about 4 channel . with the amplifer , we now pick up many more channel and have the signal split between 2 tv . with netflix , the internet , and a digital antenna , we now get good value for we entertainment dollar . if we really need to watch something on ESPN , we can go to a friend 's house , or a sport bar . highly recommend this amplifier ! +576 CableModem POS 5 this modem be very easy to set up . it take less than fifteen minute to hook it up and run the software on my pc . it work great ! +822 CableModem NEG 1 do not waste you money . all cable company provide these item for free plus free installation . for those who insist on own one , beware : the modem do not last long . at most 2-3 year and than burn out . happen to I 3 time , the first last a few month , the second 2 year , the last almost a year , when it finally dawn on I : call Com ... they come , install , hi-fi have everything . beautiful !! no more worry . +970 CableModem POS 5 a + + for this modem . Works well with my Comcast internet connection . have be use it for almost a month now . so far , so good . my internet connection speed be faster with this modem . +171 CableModem POS 5 this modem be very easy to set up . it only take one phone call to Comcast , and it have work like a charm since . +706 CableModem POS 5 will not fault TWC or the modem in this review , but TWC in my area be unable to accept this modem for support . I have instead order the Motorola SBG6580 DOCSIS 3.0 Wireless Cable Modem from Amazon , which TWC can accept . just put this out there for those in a similar situation . I intend to use the 6580 with a Cisco Linksys e4200 and will review that setup later . +374 CableModem POS 5 I now own two of these . these be great device and I highly recommend they . the simple setup be extremely easy if you have Comcast . one thing I be concerned about be that it run pretty warm , so I make sure to keep it away so it can cool off . wi-fi range be very strong and far , it support many device simultaneously and be excellent if you want to have a quick and easy set up . it only need a power cable and the coaxial cable from you provider forward to work with wi-fus , so it be excellent to reduce clutter . because this unit have built-in wi-fus , it eliminate the hassle of have a separate modem . you will not have problem try to get wi-fus to work with you modem since it be build in . it look nice and I would definitely recommend it . one time I have a bit of a problem with connectivity , but it be fix by just reset it and leave all the setting on default . unless you really need to change they , leave the setting on default and just change you wi-fi network name and administrator password . +551 CableModem NEU 3 I be not see increase in internet speed . any suggestion on the setting to improve the internet speed ? the hardware itself be stable and be easy to setup . +84 CableModem POS 5 I buy one of the refurb unit . plug it in , call Cox cable to give they the serial and MAC number . they reset . I reset . come up perfect . I have about a 10 year old linksy modem and be get speed of around 17000kbp down and 2000kbp up . not quite what be claim . cox say I should be get 22 down and 3 up . now with the refurb unit I be get 32633kbp down and 3725kbp up !!! my older modem be hold my speed down . this happen when Cox double the speed in a effort to combat Verizon Fios in we area . I be sure they change some specification regard the way they signal go through a modem . I have see that before . when you speed get whacky and you have to reset you modem several time per week , -lrb- my first clue -rrb- , they have change they signal . you old modem be fine , just outdate . so , if you have a older modem , better spend the less than $ 30.00 and get this good one . no problem here . +871 CableModem POS 5 the product itself be very reliable . unless this have change recently , you need a Windows pc to setup the modem with Comcast , which take no more than 10 minute to setup . I be able to return the lease modem and save money !!! +600 CableModem POS 5 Easy to install . with a quick call to my cable company the switching of my modem be no problem . Worth the price . +764 CableModem POS 5 my provider promise 30M download ; I be get 45-60 . very rugged . I drop it from about 30 '' onto a tile floor ; it still work immediately upon power up . have not have to reset it yet after a month of use . +803 CableModem POS 5 I be not one to write review but I decide to write one on the sb6121 . it be super easy to install and work a lot better than the $ 7 a month modem I be lease from the cable company . I actually call a techie at the cable company about install my own modem and he tell I this one be a great modem to purchase . after extensively research cable modem -lrb- I conduct hour of research on all electronic goods I purchase -rrb- I be glad to say I make the right choice in purchase this model . if you be think about get this modem , please do . +844 CableModem POS 4 I feel compel to write this to help those who will encounter the problem I face -lrb- and mention here -rrb- . I be one of the many people who want to avoid rent a modem from Comcast and buy this modem base on the stellar review , only to find that on the day of installation\/activation that it `` do not work '' . do not work mean experience the same symptom that be be mention here several time - `` modem connect but then resets\/power cycles\/disconnects itself within a few minute . '' this happen to I on the day i activate my Comcast internet . the technician spend 1.5 hour try to figure it out and end up loan I a Comcast modem -lrb- Motorola SB5120 docsis2 -rrb- , which come up almost instantly and activate just as fast -lrb- go figure -rrb- . he suggest I return this modem as it be defective , in he opinion . I do not like this since the probability of this be very small . but I see what I see and could not get past the first page of Comcast self activation screen with this modem . before the web page for self activation could proceed , after typing my account info and phone number , the modem would conveniently lose connection . at one point I do get to the next screen where it be scanning for device , but the modem cut out thereby hang the process . the modem be pack up in the box for return to Amazon when I could not shake how much this bother I and by my bad luck . so I come back here and read pretty much every review . what I find be there be several people who experience the EXACT same symptom while try several of the same modem . there be two review that stand out . one be from a person who mention the Comcast technician moan when he see it be this modem , indicate that the technician be aware of difficulty use this modem . the person mention that after 70 minute of try to get the modem to connect the technician advise he to leave the modem power on and hook up for awhile and to try activate later . the person do this and be successful in activate the modem . the other review be from a person who be admirably persistent . he review talk of several attempt to connect and refusal to accept that the modem be defective . he end up leave the modem power on and connected overnight so the modem could `` download firmware '' . the next day he be able to activate after two attempt with Comcast self activation process . lastly , I notice for I that if I leave the modem power on and connected but make no attempt to activate it via Comcast web site , the modem retain connection -lrb- via indicator light -rrb- for prolonged period of time . it only seem to lose connection when I try to activate . base on this I feel something be break with Comcast activation process specifically for this modem or perhaps Comcast be intentionally make it difficult to activate this modem to convince customer to rent a `` reliable '' modem from they . to be honest , it almost work for I . after sit there watch the technician agonize try to get the modem to work , I be tempt to rent the modem and move on with life . so as one last hail Mary attempt , this be what I do : 1 . take the modem back out of the box and leave the Motorola sb6121 power on and connect to cable outlet overnight just to entertain the possibility that some firmware or info need to be download to the modem and that for some reason it take a long time to do so . 2 . the next morning I try Comcast 's self activation process . 3 . every time win7 's network icon in the lower right corner of my screen indicate that a internet connection be establish -lrb- vs. exclamation mark -rrb- I immediately open a ie window and start the activation process with my account and phone # . the modem still lose connection when I do this but I keep on try . 4 . it take I about 4 try to succeed . each time I try , I start back on the account and phone # page . but each time it get further and further in the activation process . attempt # 1 : account\/phone # screen - -rrb- retrieve Device Information - -rrb- Modem lose connection . attempt # 2 : account\/phone # screen - -rrb- retrieve Device Information - -rrb- list of device detect -lrb- screen show my motr sb6121 modem and a dtv box both show as `` inactive '' - -rrb- Modem lose connection . -lrb- a thing to note here be that Comcast 's activation system could specifically identify this modem . this mean it be in they system and they system be able to communicate with it -rrb- Attempt # 3 : account\/phone # screen - -rrb- retrieve Device Information - -rrb- list device detect - -rrb- click `` Rescan '' device -lrb- modem -rrb- - -rrb- hit `` next '' to activate then get to screen where it say `` activate device - this may take 10 minute '' - -rrb- Modem lose connection Attempt # 4 : this be not a real attempt because all I do be leave the web browser in the previous `` activate device '' screen and wait for the modem to re-establish connection again . I step away for a few minute and when I come back I get a screen that state `` Device Activate '' -lrb- and some other instruction that do not matter -rrb- hallelujah ! also note , no phone call have to be make to Comcast to activate this modem . at this point , this modem which be lose connection all the time before , now have a seemingly rock solid connection !!! I be use the connection now with this modem as I type this . I have do some basic testing , stream video , surf the net , etc. . no loss of connection ! I do a speed test and I be get 25mbp down and 3.8 mbp up . base on my experience so far , it be in my opinion that this modem work and be as good as what the majority of the reviewer here have state . the problem lie in Comcast 's self activation process which be suspicious . what do not make sense to I be the fact that modem can hold a solid connection if you do not attempt to activate and after it be successfully activate . it be only when I try to go through the self activate process that I see problem . I can not say much about whether step # 1 help but it can not hurt to try . I mention it only to inform people of what exactly I do . I truly hope this help people . Amazon be top notch . this modem be now do what it be suppose to do with no issue . I 'll come back and update this review in about a month to report if it still hold true . I think it will but we 'll see . and lastly , thanks for the people who share they experience here . if it be not for they I would have return the modem back to Amazon and go through the hassle of find another modem or give in and rent one from Comcast . I be try to pay it forward with this review . +282 CableModem POS 5 you can not go wrong so so easy to do . up and run in no time . save $ 5 a month from cable . +991 CableModem POS 4 I be able to call Comcast and get it register in they system for the internet to work . I have yet to try the internet though because it be be set up at my new home and no computer be on hand . the process be very easy -lrb- I have read some of the review on here ahead of time which help -rrb- . Comcast compatible so I be very happy about that . go to save $ 7 a month now . only thing left now be time -lrb- reason for 4 star rating and not 5 -rrb- . if I have trouble connect to the internet or connection problem I will update this review . if you have Comcast -lrb- in the Chicago land area -rrb- , this will -lrb- or should -rrb- work for you . UPDATE : Internet and cable work well and be reliable with this modem . even if I have to change to a different room it connect back up with a minute and be good to go . I have the hd cable box from comcast and it work with this modem and internet connect quickly as well . if you can dish out the $ 80 and plan on stay with comcast , I would recommend get this modem -lrb- if you do not need telephone - this do not work for phone ... only cable and internet -rrb- . Hope this help . +348 CableModem POS 5 I get this new modem to replace my older one which be still on lease from Comcast and be at end of it be life . Easy setup for the sb6121 . Works great . ship be fast , and it arrive sooner than the estimate delivery date . Great little modem . +653 CableModem POS 5 after move to a new construction townhouse in a cox Cable certify location , my old Arris DOCSIS 2.0 cable modem begin randomly drop my internet connection and progressively slow down over the course of a day . after installing\/activating this modem with cox rus , I be now see download speed of 32 + mbp -lrb- vs. ~ 20 mbp -rrb- and upload speed of 12 + mbp -lrb- vs. ~ 6 mbp -rrb- with a ` a ' line quality rating and excellent snr reading . I have the modem connect with a aftermarket cat6 ethernet cable to my dual-band Gigabit router provide both wire and WiFi access to several computer , av device , and game console throughout my home . for activation , you will need the customer s\/n and the MAC of the device . my cable modem have one sticker with this information apply to the bottom and at least six -lrb- 6 -rrb- additional professionally print sticker in the box for I to place in other location -lrb- e.g. network log book -rrb- . activation be quick-and-easy over the phone with modem identification and activation happen less than 10-minute after complete the phone call . +897 CableModem NEG 2 I have grow to be a fan of Linksys \/ Cisco product s for a while . I keep get call from Comcast state that my current purchase cable modem be no longer support , and they would be happy to send I a new one free of charge , but of course , add the $ 7 per month rental charge . I work out of my home and have notice my VOIP call , and download be not as fast as they should have be after I analyze my current system . I go ahead and purchase this product due to it be a Cisco product , and it be certify by Comcast . after receive the product , I run with the modem for almost a month and speed down and up be fantastic . my voip call be clearer , and streaming and video call be much smoother . however , I notice that the modem would randomly drop the signal , and re-synch up again . the modem be in a open area , so I new it be not a heat issue , nor do the unit ever become hot . I call Cisco support , who direct I to Comcast support , as they claim it be a firmware issue that Comcast would manage . I check online , and in the Comcast forum , I find other who also have the same issue . the current firmware release from January 2012 be the issue , and the only solution be for Comcast to roll-back the firmware to a August 2011 release . after almost 10 contact -lrb- phone or chat support -rrb- with Comcast to report the issue and direct they to they own forum , the firmware be never roll back , and the issue do not go away . I have to inevitably send the product back to and replace with a surfboard sb6121 . it be a alright modem so far , but upload speed not so good as upload be only bond to one channel . I 'll report back if something go wrong with this new modem . +855 CableModem POS 4 I have have this for about 2 1\/2 month . I be not get in all my tv station on my cable . the lower station in particular . when I do get in the station several of they be choppy and pixelated at time . when I watch sport such as football there would be a ghost trail follow the football on hard pass . this fixed my problem . I have 8 television and one computer run at my house and the picture be such a improvement it anger I to think how long I go without have it . before I buy this product I call the cable company on several occasion and nothing they do or tell I ever help . they mention to use a signal amplifier , which they be suppose to provide , but be reluctant . so I take matter into my own hand and do it myself . I recommend this to anyone who may have the occassional pixelated picture or any ghost issue to try this product for yourself . I purchase mine off of Amazon for around $ 45 and it take minute to install . you do not realize this product 's worth until you try it . it be satisfaction everytime I watch my television . +268 CableModem POS 5 I buy this cable modem because I do not want to waste money rent one anymore from my cable provider . this be a no-brainer to install . my son-in-law buy the same Motorola SB6121 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem and be thoroughly satisfied . I have use this for approx . a month and I never have to reset it . I be always reset the rental modem . thank you Motorola for make another excellent product . I also like order this product from Amazon . com . it do not get any easier and delivery be great . +518 CableModem POS 4 I recently get Comcast Internet and want to own my own cable modem instead of pay Comcast every month to rent one . Everything go well have to contact Comcast with Mac ID and serial # but after set everything up my modem keep cycling through and the Comcast guy say my modem would go online and then go offline . he think I have a faulty modem and they be go to charge I $ 50 to send a rep out to check if it be a line problem or a modem problem . luckly I google the problem and find that these modem sometimes have a problem with receive too powerful a signal from the cable line and say a attenuator or cable line splitter would do the trick . so I have a line splitter that take the 1 line and split it into 3 seperate line and then it work perfectly with a less powerful signal . Everything work perfectly now and the modem be great but I be surprised Comcast do not suggest to try this since it be a issue that be know . +989 CableModem NEG 1 my modem have many issue , it will randomly reboot throughout the day . when the modem decide to work it be great , but a lot of disconnect issue on the modem end . want to add Amazon let I return this item , buy a new one with Free 1 Day shipping . Modem be run as advertise now . thank you Amazon !! +517 CableModem POS 5 when I get the cable modem I connect to my network and I be ask by comcast website registration for some datum , but I could not do anything without the customer number . and the modem be resete itself every time I send datum . so I get the web page and when I submit my router to register the modem get restart . I think it be in bad shape but I call comcast and they add it with a wrong Mac address so I be plane to return it . it would work if it be no mistake by the comcast person add the wrong Mac address . I read that issue in some review so I believe this people think there be something wrong with the modem , but after try again for a couple time the datum go through comcast website update the mac address to the correct one , once this be set the modem restart for the last time ! and since then I have not have any issue problem performance etc with it ! +300 CableModem NEU 3 it require several hour and many phone call to get my cable company 's system to recognize this modem 's serial number do not appear in they list of modem . moreover , there should be a rule against include either zero or letter os in the serial number which , in 4 point type be virtually indistinguishable even with a magnifying glass ! +747 CableModem POS 5 after read a bunch of review say that this router do not work with Comcast , I be happy to report that I get mine today and it be work as expect . much better than pay $ 7\/month to rent Comcast 's modem . +476 CableModem POS 5 even the customer service rep on the phone say this be the best modem on the market . speak of call they , you will need to do this and give they the MAC address that list on the modem . after a restart or two it should be up and run . +288 CableModem POS 5 I install my new Motorola SB6121 Cable Modem today . the cable connection and bootup of the modem complete without a hitch and I contact Xfinity Cable -lrb- Comcast -rrb- and speak with a internet specialist who take my HFC MAC ID number and my customer serial number off the box . after reboot the modem and router -lrb- wrt54gl -rrb- , I bring up the computer . at first I could not connect to the internet , but after I change my lan address it come up okay . the reason it do not come up right away be that the cable guy reset my router and the setting be all set back to the default . fortunately I have save my router setting prior to contact xfinity and when I restore they back to the setting I have , everything work perfectly . so be sure if you be use a router that you save you favorite setting before you do this modem change . it can be a real pain try to remember all the setting in the router that you may have change over the year . by the way , I never connect to the computer first . Modem , Router and Computer be all connected initially but be boot in that order . so far everything now be work fine and I hope that continue . a bit too early to say how this will work out over time , but at least it be save I $ 7 a month for the time be . by the way , the Xfinity guy be great , polite and very knowledgeable . good luck . UPDATE : it be be about a month since I write the above review and since that time the modem have work flawlessly . I know some folk say there be have run very warm , but I do not find that to be true . my modem be only slightly warm to the touch , but a whole lot cooler than a lot of my other electronic device . as far as I be concerned , this be a excellent modem and be work well with my xfinity -lrb- Comcast -rrb- account . download speed 20mb and upload speed 4mb . ca not beat that in my book . sure beat the lousy dsl service I previously have . Motorola SB6121 SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem +781 CableModem POS 5 I buy this because my cable signal for internet be not stable at all . during the rainning day or windy day , I get no connection . after install this , it significantly improve my connection . however , when the incoming signal be way too low , it still can not solve the problem . however , I can immediately feel the difference between with and without this booster . I even buy a second one as a Chrimstmas gift to my friend , which he also feel the improve of the signal . +197 CableModem POS 5 I buy this modem to use with xfinity internet service from Comcast . it work like a charm . I like that it have built-in wireless , as well as four ethernet plug-in . it be cheaper than rent a modem from Comcast , so long as you keep it for a few year . +731 CableModem POS 5 replace Charter rental modem - take about 5 minute , turn on pc , fill out web form , then return the rental modem . will pay for itself in less than 6 month at the rental rate I be pay . +955 CableModem POS 5 this router be one of the two recommend by my cable provider . after my initial review , it be the best of the two . ship be fast and it correct the problem I have with my previous router . very happy with this router so far . +367 CableModem POS 5 I can not seem to keep a modem work for over 18 month , so I have be rent from Comcast for $ 3 a month . since cost recently increase to $ 5 a month , I take a chance on this product . for only $ 20 , it just have to last 4 month , and then my savings will be $ 5 a month for as long at it work . I use a router and the modem install easily without use the enclosed disk . the Comcast install screen appear right after installation , and it be the easiest setup that I have experience in a long time . shipment be fast , and it come with box with cable and warranty . I recommend it for the price and easy setup . +259 CableModem NEG 1 this modem drop connection and\/or get hang up constantly . it get hang up and reboot itself several time a day . sometimes I have to manually reset\/power cycle the modem to get it back up and run again . you should not have to manually reset or power cycle you modem 2-10 time a day , especially a brand new modem . try troubleshoot with Comcast and be refer to Linksys Tech support , who then try to refer I back to Comcast . after tell they that Comcast refer I to Linksys in the first place , they tell I it be beyond they scope of expertise and refer I to Cisco Tech support . Cisco Tech flat out say that they could not do anything for I or my problem since there be nothing configurable on the modem . I ask if the modem be faulty then would not cisco have to replace it under they 1 year warranty ? the Cisco Tech say there be nothing they can do to help . this problem with constant disconnect affect a lot of Comcast customer and the only fix seem to be have the firmware flash back to the Aug 2011 because the Jan 2012 firmware be faulty . unfortunately , none of the tech support people that I get in touch would be knowledgeable enough to help . of the two Linksys and Cisco Tech I speak to , neither be able to even give I the default password for the Modem status page . the dpc3008 maybe certified by Comcast but neither Comcast nor any part of Cisco or Linksys will provide support for it . this modem do not have a log page to see what go wrong and there be no interface or even download site for the user to change the firmware . also , when the modem be hang up or if the internet status be disconnect , there be no way to reach the modem status page through a browser via the IP address 192.168.100.1 . all the other cable modem I have use before -lrb- Scientific Atlanta , Motorola Surfboard , and Linksys cm100 -rrb- all be reachable even when the internet connection be down . with this one , you can not even check the status and there be no log to troubleshoot with . if you be with Comcast , stay away from this modem because the certified for Comcast label on this modem be meaningless and you 'll get no help from the manufacturer . +355 CableModem POS 4 \* I be not sure if my performance issue be due to Comcast or the modem . \* the performance be great , but there be occasion where my speed will seriously slump down to 1 mbp down , but 4 mbp up . but if there be such a thing as a good look modem , this be it . +55 CableModem POS 5 I be a `` computer literate '' person , but not a techie . this modem be very user friendly , be really fast and be not at all complicate . actually you just plug it in and it work ... so its fairly impossible to mess up . its very compact -lrb- much smaller than my previous modem -rrb- and be clean-lined and nice-looking . +772 CableModem POS 5 this modem solve my problem . the issue be I be loose connection on my surfboard I have have for year . have my cable company check the street , and I run some neutralize test to issolate the problem to my Surfboard , get this thing , and all be well . the lesson here ? buy a Modem be cheaper than rent , duh ! , but have a modem for 4-5 year you have to remember that technology have a shelf life , and I reach mine a month ago with that surfboard . +744 CableModem POS 5 excellent product . reliable speed and have no disconnect so far . will get one for my brother when he decide to join cable ethernet . +70 CableModem POS 4 my old Modem have past , it be a rather slow death that be more painful for I than it be for it - this I be sure . so I be on the hunt for a younger better model -lrb- survival of the fittest you know -rrb- - I find one in this product . it work tirelessly and do all that I ask with out question . I highly recommend this type for anyone that feel they be not get what we all should have - great service . delivery be fast and efficient - it have arrive before I though it would actually . hope this help you in you decision +203 CableModem NEG 1 I purchase this product a month before move into a new house . once we move in we set everything up , and the product be extremely unreliable . at least 5 time a day , vary from 5 to 30 minute , the modem would drop the signal . we be not sure if the problem be the modem or the cable , so we purchase another modem and we have not have any problem since then . unfortunately , because we buy the product so far in advance of we move , we can not return it now either . we would not recommend this product . +666 CableModem POS 5 the cable signal enter my house be somehwat low power -lrb- we live at the end of a long line -rrb- , then it get split 2 way to a cable modem and a main distribution amp , each get -9 db of signal -lrb- per the cable modem diag page -rrb- . then one of the leg from that DA get split another four way . the line directly off the DA have a okay digital and analog signal . the line off the 4 way splitter have a rather noisy analog signal but no digital tv would detect any of the digital channel , much less attempt to pixelate . I connect this amp just before the initial 2-way splitter . the cable modem indicate +3 db and the snr of the digital signal be improve on the line directly off the DA -lrb- although there be no visual difference of course -rrb- . the line off the 4-way splitter now have a very clear analog signal as well as sufficiently high signal to receive the digital channel . excellent amplifier and easy to install . the retail version may include a coax cable for power , but this one do not but it provide for remote power if you want to put it even closer to the pole -lrb- the closer the better , so you be not amplify the noise too -rrb- -lrb- you 'll need a power insert to do this -rrb- . +390 CableModem POS 5 I order this signal booster -lrb- along with a Motorola power inserter that I have to purchase from another site , btw -rrb- to resolve problem with terrible pixelation\/loss of audio and loss of channel in all but one room in we house . we signal be great at the cable 's first entry into the house , a bedroom , but since ours be split to access 6 -- that be right , 6 different room -- -lrb- I have a splitter on one of the line provide the additional connection -rrb- the signal be just waaaay too weak , especially for digital hd channel in the other room , and regular\/analog channels\/tvs be get a really fuzzy picture . this product be super easy to install - even with the power inserter -lrb- which be genius , btw , because I do not have to run a separate cable line down to my crawl space to power the unit -rrb- - and work perfectly ! regular channel be now crystal clear in all room , and digital\/hd channel be perfect ! we have have the booster for several week now and it be install under the crawl space yet we have have no issue with it at all - even with 100-deg heat outside . initially we be consider buy a more expensive splitter to see if that would resolve the problem , but this booster end up cost only slightly more than , say , a monster cable splitter ... and I feel more sure that it would definitely solve the problem . why buy a expensive splitter when you can buy a actual booster that split the cable for about the same money ? really glad I do ! I pore over a lot of review before purchase this item and my research lead I to purchase the Motorola . if you be still on the fence , I definitely recommend pull the trigger - I be glad I do . also , I apologize to the seller for my delay in review , but I want to report on it after several week ' usage and hope that this review after a while of use will be helpful to other research by provide a longer-term positive perspective . +417 CableModem NEG 2 I have purchase two of these unit , both die within a year . I do install they in a attic space so not sure if the temperature extreme be what kill they . either way you would think they would be more durable . +623 CableModem POS 5 I have a D-Link dcm-202 that I get from best buy about five year ago . the D-Link be great till about 6 month ago when I notice it start freezing on I . I have to unplug it , then plug it back in to get it go again , and Netflix on the Apple TV start have issue . when the Motorola sb6121 come in I call my service provider to give they the MAC ID # print on the modem , instruction , and on the box , then hook it up and do . it have be run for about a week now and I have not have any issue with it and Netflix be streaming perfectly . and the modem do not seam to get hotter than any other small electronic device . +433 CableModem POS 5 I have just buy this modem and it be really great and easy to use device especially with Comcast . 100 % recommend ! +213 CableModem POS 5 I be not tech-savvy , but I order this for use with cable internet -lrb- previously have dsl & need new modem -rrb- . the Charter installer be able to use this modem -lrb- instead of lease one from Charter -rrb- and the modem be work just fine . +6 CableModem POS 5 I buy the 6121 to replace the 6020 that I be rent from Comcast for $ 7 a month . I have have no problem with it in 3 month of use - work just as well as the 6020 . it do not get `` overly warm '' & have not need to be reset . perhaps other user have get a defective product . +735 CableModem POS 5 have COMCAST service -lrb- in Washington DC -rrb- and order this modem to avoid pay the monthly fee for rent one . have work perfectly as far as I can tell . always get download speed in excess of 20mb per sec ... I do not use wireless router , which may slow it down ? get 's slightly warm , but not hot . I use these review a lot when buy thing so I figure that I would write a review for once . Have have it about a month , no problem . +641 CableModem NEG 1 my linksys cm100 modem die after less than 12 hour of use . it work fine when the cable technician setup we service . but the next morning , there be no light on the modem . probably a thermal issue with the power supply cause premature death . I could not return the defective unit to Amazon because the package be open and more than 30 day have elapse since the purchase -lrb- we have to wait a long time to get the house wiring ready for cable -rrb- . so , I contact Cisco\/Linksys customer service . they determine that the modem be defective and issue a rma . they make I pay to return they defective modem to they . and the replacement they send out be REMANUFACTURED -lrb- scratch - no user manual -rrb- . think about this from a customer 's perspective : Linksys manufacture a defective product . Linksys make the customer pay the shipping cost to return the defective product . Linksys send out a use , refurbish replacement . Poor business practice if you ask I . +117 CableModem POS 5 I replace my old Motorola modem with the sb6121 and double my download and upload speed . it be a great value and easy to setup with Comcast . +372 CableModem POS 5 I be able to install and setup the modem with little effort and only a short -lrb- 10min -rrb- call with comcast to set it up . I have be use it now for about 2 month and do not notice any difference , good or bad , from the modem I be rent , which I believe be a scientific america . +770 CableModem NEG 1 for the first 3 month this modem work like a charm . after that , it start have problem . I replace the splitter and the cable to the modem with no luck . I go through all the reset procedure over and over again . there be no problem with the incoming cable signal . it be strong . I contact the manufacturer this morning and they inform I that they do not help private user\/owners ... only cable company who buy they product by the thousand . then she hang up on I . with -lrb- non -rrb- customer service like that , my recommendation be to look elsewhere . too bad ... I really like it those first 3 month . +271 CableModem POS 4 when you install this modem , if you be replace a Comcast rental , ensure you have the MAC -lrb- CMAC or HFC MAC -rrb- address handy , and call Comcast first & tell they you want to provision a new modem . after several hour of try to use they webpage that come up , I have to call . also , ensure you have the correct MAC address ; for example , a `` d '' can look like a zero -lrb- `` 0 '' -rrb- w\/those tiny letter , which be my only complaint on this modem so far . otherwise , the modem seem to be work great for I -lrb- though I do have to reset my wireless router and then reboot the modem to get the 2 to work together -rrb- . the modem work fine with my Ooma telo box to provide VOIP ... if you be use comcast-provided voip\/phone or will be , this modem will not work I think ; you need a telephony modem . +212 CableModem POS 5 the review for the CISCO cm100 answer all of the question that I have before this item be purchase . price , the necessary step to activate , and the satisfaction each of the buyer have with the unit . +567 CableModem POS 5 I buy this because I have dropuot problem in my bedroom use Comcast triple Play digital . I be allway get a notice to subscribe to a channel that I have be watch 5 minute before while channel surfing . all Comcast would do be replace the cable end , -lrb- I have a pile of they -rrb- . in my original set up I have one splitter for my cable modem\/phone modem that then go to three splitter for my three tv 's . I simply replace both splitter with this . the tv 's all work better and no problem with my internet or phone . +679 CableModem POS 5 no issue with this modem . setup be quick and easy . call WOW and give they the information they need ... then be up and run . compact size fit nicely on the desk . also I pick up just a bit of speed . prior to connect the modem , I check connection speed and be at about 15.75 download and 0.6 upload . with this modem I be now at about 16.25 down and 0.75 up . I also notice on the speed test website that the connection be `` cleaner '' than with the old modem ... i.e once it hit its maximum speed it would stick there without much fluctuation . I buy the modem so that I do not have to pay the $ 5\/month to rent WOW 's modem . the bit of add speed I get be just a bonus . I have have this for a few week so I can not comment on long term quality . but at this point , no issue and I be happy with it . +856 CableModem POS 5 Motorola SURFboard Gateway SBG6580 DOCSIS 3.0 Wireless Cable Modem +797 CableModem NEU 3 I buy this to use at home with we new Comcast internet service ; however , I do not realize until after I receive the product that there be a couple of issue that make it inappropriate for we particular need . first , there be no wireless with this product ; and there be also only one plug for ethernet cable connection . this make it impossible for more than 1 person at a time to connect to the internet ; and then you need the ethernet cable to connect . I do return the product and receive a prompt refund . I want to be clear that this do NOT reflect on the seller ; the seller be courteous , ship promptly , and even handle my question and subsequent return very efficiently . +738 CableModem NEG 1 I buy this modem back in May , 2012 and for the first couple of month it work great . in the last couple of week it now frequently lose connection or be very slow . it make my cable internet -lrb- with Comcast -rrb- slower than surf with my phone and be very frustrating . +884 CableModem POS 5 I have only use this modem with the Comcast network thus far in the 2 apartment that I have live in this year -lrb- south Florida resident -rrb- - so far , no problem , no hassle . Modem have steadily maintain the always-on connection and be connect to my trusty Cisco-Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router upload and download speed be fine - torrent download fairly quickly , be able to stream hulu with no problem . overall , extremely reliable and a great value . it be a great alternative to the steady $ 5\/month rental fee Comcast put in you cable bill for they Motorola modem - and I be fairly certain that I have never have to do the `` unplug-wait-replug '' cycle to restart a connection - which I have to do a lot with the Motorola surfboard modem that I have from they previously . highly recommend . +710 CableModem NEG 2 although this device be list by Comcast and Linksys as a approve modem , it do not work with Comcast . Tech that come to fix my issue inform I that everyone of these he encounter never work . +473 CableModem POS 5 I use this unit for about a month with Comcast cable . this unit replace the rental from Comcast -lrb- I get tire of pay they $ 7 every month -rrb- . call the company , give they the MAC address and in 5 minute I be back online . so far it seem to work just fine . moderate improvement on the speed and reliability ; satisfy with the purchase . +314 CableModem POS 5 I get this because I do not want to rent a modem from Comcast and it be on they approve list . I know very little about modem but be able to set it up easily . we have a 2 story , 3000 sq ft house and get coverage everywhere . however , we get a repeater to boost the signal to we bedroom which be farthest from the modem . +699 CableModem POS 5 this Cable Modem Works Great ! setup be a snap ! I have Comcast and just get tire of pay $ 7.00 a month rental for a old and slow modem they provide year ago . I be not a cable modem expert nor do I have the datum or tech detail to say why we entire internet download\/upload speed and overall network performance have improve dramatically except to say that change to this modem must be the answer . . the setup be very easy ! plug it in call Comcast tech support dept. . I give the tech the info he request and the modem be up and run in 10 minuet . other family member have comment that we network seem to be run faster and smother -lrb- the be unaware I make a modem change -rrb- . I also run a download\/upload speed test via Comcast 's test site and number return exceed the speed we Comcast Internet package be suppose limit out at . . bonus !! +898 CableModem POS 5 Great Price , Easy Setup , and it be exactly what I be need . I be happy with my purchase in the Motorola sb6121 +211 CableModem NEG 2 I buy this product a few day ago from a local microcenter . Microcenter have two modem available , this one and the Zoom DOCSIS 3.0 . the zoom be 10 dollar cheaper . I never hear of Zoom so I decide to go with linksy since I feel they be the trust name . I do not want to end up get what I pay for . take it home , register my MAC and SN online through Comcast and have some problem in the begin then everything work fine . I be able to watch a movie on Netflix without any issue . then the problem come on my first day work from home . like other have state it repeatedly drop connection and then reconnect . this become extremely annoying quickly as I use VirtualBox to boot Windows on my Mac and then remote Desktop to my work pc . I would be in the middle of typing and then the cursor would stop . I could not click any of the window . that be when I know the connection drop . sometimes the connection would reconnect quickly enough to avoid Windows make I reconnect manually . that be when I come here to see if anyone be have the same problem and surely enough they have ! I take this back to Microcenter and get the zoom . so far no issue but will have to wait and see . I be hope the positive review on the Zoom be consistent . my suggestion be to avoid any product that have inconsistent result and report from a number of user . +435 CableModem POS 5 very well pack . take a few moment to get it square away with Comcast . it up my up\/down load speed considerably . should have do it sooner . +943 CableModem POS 5 I have to send this one back because it be the wrong one . I be not tell which model I need from my internet provider -lrb- Brighthouse - Roadrunner High speed internet -rrb- , I be just tell I need a DOCSIS 3.0 modem . after I hook this one up -lrb- very easy -rrb- and call Brighthouse to activate it , that be when I find out I have the wrong one . I actually need the sb6141 model , so I re-order from Amazon and it hook up -lrb- again , very easy -rrb- and call Brighthouse again and be up and run within 15 minute . very pleased and no more rental fee . +604 CableModem POS 5 very good modem . increase speed between isp and my network by 50 % without change anythng . old modem provide by isp be a dog . one thing though , initially could not complete connection transaction with my isp -lrb- Comcast -rrb- through they `` wall garden '' web page . the modem issue `` power failure '' status . set the modem back to `` factory default '' , which it should have have right out of the box but , apparently , do not and do a soft reset clear up the problem . it immediately connect with my isp and have be work well ever since . do not get very warm and I no longer experience connectivity drop out like I do with the isp supply modem . I should have do this a long time ago . highly recommend . +858 CableModem NEG 1 this modem only last 7 week and rarely work correctly during that time . very disappointed that I didnt keep box so I cant send back +185 CableModem POS 5 my current cable company offer the option to buy a ` approve ' modem or rent one from they and pay a monthly fee . I have have to deal with the cable company 's rental modem before : after have my surfboard for a month I can attest that the upfront cost be absolutely worth it ! I have have this for a month and I have not have to call my cable company and sit on hold for hour wait for a reset on the line yet : my first month on a rental be a nightmare , I assure you . with a good router , this be a fast and reliable modem . it also happen to be a rather attractive and simple design - it be not over do and it be certainly not as unattractive as a lot of other modem : -rrb- +815 CableModem POS 5 have it setup and run for a week or so now , and its be work flawlessly . no issue thus far . I would recommend this modem to other . allow I to do away with the rent modem from Metrocast and the $ 5 rental fee . good stuff ! +195 CableModem POS 5 excellent product at a great value . delivery be quick . setup be easy . work great so far . also purchase in conjunction with Belkin router and they be a great combo . +914 CableModem POS 5 Modem work great with Comcast . I upgrade from a fail sb5100 . connection be very stable with 25 mbp download\/4mbps upload speed . it be very easy to setup without a call to Comcast . it take about 10 minute to complete the configuration of the new modem . here be what I do : 1 -rrb- power down computer , modem and router , if you use one . 2 -rrb- disconnect cable that go to old modem . 3 -rrb- connect internet cable to new modem . 4 -rrb- connect a ethernet cable from modem to computer . there be one supply with modem . 5 -rrb- power on new modem and wait for all four light to stop flash , this might take a while . 6 -rrb- Start computer and open up you internet browser . the browser will go to the xfinity configuration page automatically . 7 -rrb- if you be already a xfinity customer hit the blue login link . if you be a new customer fill in you account number and phone number . 8 -rrb- follow the online instruction to complete the new modem activation . 9 -rrb- once you establish a internet connection you be do . if you be use a wireless router continue with this : 1 -rrb- power off the computer and modem . 2 -rrb- disconnect ethernet cable from modem to computer . 3 -rrb- plug in the ethernet cable from modem to router . 4 -rrb- power on modem and wait for all the light to stop flash . 5 -rrb- power on router . 6 -rrb- power on you computer and you be do . +608 CableModem POS 5 this cable modem work great with my Comcast service in the Bay Area . I have blast service which be advertise to provide 30 mbp download speed , and I get over 30 mbp with this modem connect to my 4 year old laptop when I perform a speedtest on the comcast website . it also show over 6mbp of upload speed . keep in mind that this be the case when I connect the router directly to the laptop with a ethernet cable . if you attach a wireless router it will most likely not give you the same result but that be due to the wireless router . I get over 20 mbp with the linksy e3200 wireless router which I buy to complement this cable modem and I would recommend the Linksys e3200 if you be look for a fast dual-band wireless router to pair up with this modem . as for the installation , it could not have be easier for I . Comcast have originally rent I this same modem for 7 month -lrb- $ 49 I throw away in rent -rrb- so when the new modem arrive , I simply disconnect the old ubee modem and plug in the new uBee Docsis 3.0 Cable Modem . when I turn on my firefox internet browser it divert I to the comcast installation page where I follow the step -lrb- you need you account number -rrb- and within a few minute it detect the new modem and I have internet ! simple as that , no need to call comcast in my case or look for any MAC address . keep in mind that this be probably the case because I be rent the same exact ubee cable modem , but if you do need to call Comcast , the MAC address be easily accessible on the bottom of the cable modem . now 3 month after I buy the modem I have save $ 21 and I be happily continue to save with little to no issue in connectivity ! +975 CableModem POS 5 I daytrade so I need a reliable , fast modem and this be it . have the router a few week and it be great . good reception with a strong wifus signal throughout a 2 story 2600 sqft . house . you may need to make a few tweak for you internet provider and here they be . 1 -rrb- use this if you be have slow download\/upload speed or in my case over 65 % packet loss on a ping test . you can check you dl & ul speed here -lrb- speedtest -lrb- dot -rrb- net -rrb- and test for packet loss here -lrb- pingtest -lrb- dot -rrb- net -rrb- . login to the router gateway use 192.168.0.1 and you can find you username and pass in you instruction manual . once in click Firewall at the top , then web Filter on the side panel . toward the bottom of the page uncheck `` IP Flood detection '' and click apply . 2 -rrb- some people have report a drop wifus signal after a few day of use . this be generally cause by interference from other wireless signal in the area . to fix this login to you gateway again . this time click on Wireless at the top then radio on the side panel . Change you control Channel # to any of the number 1-11 list then click apply . if you be still get a drop signal after the change then switch to another channel until you signal be constant . by default the Control Channel be set to auto which be suppose to automatically switch channel when the router detect interference but this do not always work so well . these two item tend to be the biggest issue with this router . once you get it setup right it should be clear sailing . +143 CableModem POS 5 this modem be great to increase datum for you home net but unfortunately , you service provider , like ours , may deliberately slow you connection speed to demand a higher payment for `` high speed '' access . +487 CableModem POS 5 when my old cable modem suddenly start reset itself , I replace it with this one . it work like a champ with speed much higher than that of old one . the setup take just 5 min . I be tell by Comcast tech support that for `` performance '' internet service this be the ideal modem as it support DOCSIS 3.0 . +685 CableModem POS 5 yo - replace my 7 year old Motorola 5051 Surfboard for this one on my Comcast Internet service . no instruction come with the modem - just power supply and a cat5 cable -lrb- which be strange - because cat5 be a 10\/100 cable and the modem be 10\/100\/1000 -rrb- so the cable be useless . install modem power up both modem and computer - log onto the internet - Comcast recognize that there be a new sheriff in town -lrb- modem -rrb- ask for my account number - spend about 6-7 minute do something and then wallum - it be all set up and work great . I have run speedtest.net test before and after the change out and I be get 10-15 % faster up and download than before . happy = yes I be ! +165 CableModem NEG 1 the modem be sell as `` new '' but when attempt to connect the modem to my cable account the modem be still tie to another person 's account . I waste three hour try to install a item thatius have no choice but to return and deal with the hassel of return and wait for a replacement . +291 CableModem POS 5 I have be look at this modem for a while . my search begin when my Linksys CM100 go out for half a week . I come to find out Comcast be work on the system -lrb- upgrade to DOCSIS 3.0 -rrb- which knock my modem off the network and it would not bring in a connection . I decide to buy this from a local retailer because I remember the difficulty I have to go through the last time I try to buy a modem from Amazon . it be not anything on Amazon 's end or the seller . I believe it be due to the modem be create for specific region . if the modem 's MAC do not start with a certain set of number then it will not work in that region . I wish I would have know that before I buy the cm100 online here , but I buy it locally and it be a decent modem that have a solid connection . it just could not handle the capability of DOCSIS 3.0 . unfortunately , Comcast never notify that the system have be switch to 3.0 so I be use a DOCSIS 2.0 modem Linksys cm100 on a 3.0 network . I keep wonder why my speed seem so different after that half week the modem go out . it be like the modem be be overpower or could not keep up with process . as for this modem , I can not say enough . it be easy to setup . I do not have to call Comcast to get it activate , unlike with the cm100 . all I do be plug up the connect for the coaxial , ethernet , and power . let it go through pull in activity light . plug the other end of the ethernet into the netbook I have . open a webpage and from there you just enter you account information and you isp will recognize it on the network . it will display info and ask if it have correctly identify you modem . you say yes and then it register it under you account . compare to my last experience with set up my own modem -lrb- linksys cm100 -rrb- this be heaven ! I see a significant improvement in my speed . it take I say a day or two for they to get to a consistent point . now I pull about 36-46 mbp download and about 4-5 .5 mbp on upload . for I that be a great improvement from get only 22-24 mpb download and about 2-2 .5 mbp on upload . and with both set of speed I just mention , I be on the same exact speed tier . now I feel like I be get my money 's worth of what I be pay for internet service . the way I come to choose this modem be by Comcast 's approve modem list in they support page for Xinfinity Internet . then research vigourously to find the best option out of the list . if you select you speed tier it will pull in a list of modem that be approve to use . this modem have a 3 star certification so for they standard -lrb- Comcast -rrb- its the best you can use for you service . so in summation I would say if you want to get the best out of you isp connection , especially if its with Comcast , I would go with this modem . +107 CableModem POS 5 deliver on time and work well right out of the box . install allow I to reduce my cable bill by $ 7 per month . +562 CableModem POS 5 Easy to review -- look at m and COX website to find certified compatible modem -- zoom be the only one -lrb- at the time -rrb- that fit the bill . excellent out of the box experience , no connectivity issue , plenty of through-put . I would buy another , but -lrb- knock wood -rrb- I 'll need to do so ! +610 CableModem POS 4 I get this modem to replace a older version of the Motorola surfboard that be list as `` eol '' -lrb- end of life -rrb- by my cable company . so far , it be pretty awesome . previously , I be have stall problem w \/ Netflix streaming , and have to reboot my airport wireless every other day or so , as the old modem would lose connection with it . since I buy this one , I have not have to do that once , and have have no streaming problem with Netflix or AppleTV . I definitely recommend it . a word to the wise , if you use ComCast , keep the box handy for the serial number ... +46 CableModem POS 5 I be have difficulty view several channel after my antenna signal go through a passive 3-way splitter . the connection off the splitter provide weak reception on channel 4 and no channel 4 reception to a tv in another room feed through a 50 foot extension cable . after I replace the passive splitter with the dba-s4 , the reception be vastly improve . you need to supply you own coax cable to connect the power supply to the drop amp . you also need to supply you own f-type terminator for unused port . +90 CableModem POS 5 the product be not only great . once I receive it , plug in , call my service provider , it be set up perfectly , no more drop line , slow , in fact faster than the guarantee speed by the service network co ! +295 CableModem POS 5 I have have this for about a couple of month now and i can say that this be one of the best modem out there . the main reason i buy this be because Comcast charge 7 dollar a month for they modem rental . installation be really easy , all you have to do be call you cable provider and provide they you MAC id on the modem and in less then 2 min you be up and run . what a difference it make ! I actually get speed to what i be pay for . lot a cable provide really dont tell you that you can do this which be understandable b\/c they want that extra money but for I the savings alone be well worth it ! a MUST BUY !!!! +734 CableModem POS 5 th be a wonderful modem that work well . I have some issue get Comcast to add this modem to my account . after 45 minute of frustration with Comcast , they say I have a bad modem . luckily my account be lock on they end , so they have to call I back a hour later . while I be wait , I call Motorola and they service desk help I log into the Modem 's diagnostic page . we be able to determine that the Modem be fine and my signal noise number be perfect . Motorola customer service be wonderful and I be able to convince Comcast that the modem be good . I love it so far ! +251 CableModem POS 4 while I do not notice any increase performance when replace my old -lrb- Docsis 1 ? -rrb- modem , the new modem do bring the modem up to the latest DOCSIS revision recommend by a Comcast technician . so I be how poise for the future , hopefully ? the modem work fine and the speed be most likely constrain by the speed of the Comcast network . +867 CableModem POS 5 I be always concern when buy proprietary electronics online , but I do my research and have every indication that this be a excellent modem at a excellent price . we have no issue with setup and have no complaint so far . if anything further develop , look for a update . +302 CableModem POS 5 this be the same modem I receive from Comcast two year ago , back then I be charge $ 2.00 a month for the modem , then 8 month later $ 5.00 , and now $ 7.00 . when this modem arrive -lrb- onetime -rrb- , I turn off the computer , disconnect it from the wireless router , connect the coax cable to new modem , connect the computer directly to modem . turn on modem , then computer . load the browser , Comcast 's `` self installation '' screen load , -lrb- have you bill handy -rrb- enter my account # , four click later , it be up and run no issue . +118 CableModem NEG 1 I purchase this modem for a new apartment that I be set up the internet and cable for . it meet all of the Comcast requirement list on they site and the installation technician laud I for think ahead and have the hardware ready for he when he arrive . that be , until he try to hook it up . the modem simply refuse to connect to the Comcast network . after try a few different set up to no avail he go out to he truck and bring in a replacement modem . same brand , same model , even the same packaging . the big difference be that he work right of the bat . so long story short , I be stuck pay a monthly rental fee from Comcast and this modem in on its way back to Amazon . +24 CableModem NEG 1 it die the second month after purchase . possibly due to A\/C adapter failure . I be go to Walmart right now for a new A\/C adapter . it be inconvenient for the user , time waste and frustrate . Cable modem be the last Motorola product I trust besides mobile radio . I hope this be just bad luck ! +489 CableModem POS 5 great modem and now the price be about half of what I pay for it in March 2010 . I use to rent a modem from comcast but hate pay the monthly charge and lose the connection all the time . I almost never lose the connection with this modem . I research many modem on amazon before purchase and be happy that I decide on this one . I just wish it have be this cheap when I purchase . you really can not go wrong with this modem . +642 CableModem POS 5 I buy this modem about six week ago , to replace one I be lease from Comcast , after they increase the monthly charge from $ 3 to $ 5 . I be glad I do ; with my old modem I be get download speed of about 3.6 mbp , and now I be get 18 mpb -- even though I be supposedly only sign up for 6 mbp . I do seem to be have more disconnect from the Comcast server since 1\/01\/2010 but I suspect this be not relate to the modem . anyhow , for less than $ 70 , I be happy . I 'll save what I pay in a little over a year and my internet access speed be greatly improve ! +588 CableModem POS 5 I have a hd channel that be unwatchable until I get this , now it be crystal clear . I would recommend this . +601 CableModem POS 5 I buy this product to upgrade my network and it work great . I have have no problem with the unit and once I get Comcast to recognize it , I have have no issue at all . I would recommend this product to anyone who be consider upgrade to a gigabit network . +657 CableModem POS 5 because they can not make enough profit off I , TW Cable start charge I $ 5 for rental of a modem they have give I for free for 6 year . it be a slight upgrade from the one I replace , although you can not really tell it from the performance . I plug it in , call TW to let they know -lrb- they have to do something in they office to get it recognize by the network -rrb- and I go right back to work on my computer . +199 CableModem POS 5 Modem work great . stay connected continuously and have a build in diagnostic web page to help diagnose issue . no complaint . +702 CableModem POS 5 after thoroughly go over the product review for both this modem and the sb6120 ; see the nearly equal split of trouble people be report with Comcast , I call Comcast before I order it . I be have trouble with my own , older DOCSIS 2 modem -lrb- a Toshiba PCX 2600 -rrb- of nearly 8 year strong -lrb- intermittent signal drop -rrb- , and figure it be time to upgrade anyway . Comcast -lrb- I be in the ` burb of Atlanta -rrb- come out because they be see the drop from they end , and in a surprisingly proactive effort , decide to not rule out the old modem right away . instead they work out some very minor noise issue on the line locally first , then find some more significant issue up the street and have to have a linesman tech come out . again , the one primary tech give I he cell number to stay in touch with over the course of the next two day , come back out and after they feel they have do everything and like what they be see , then they suggest replace the modem . the drop be much less than what they be , but still occur . I order this modem , it arrive as expect and call Comcast to provision it . take about 15 minute on the phone and it be online . I get the same up\/down speed and ping I have with my old modem of 30d\/4u mbp . overall I be happy with the quality of the product . it be a little gray , warm plastic box with pretty bright light sit in my equipment rack . to those out there worry about the heat thing I read in the other review , this be a non-issue . Mine run cooler than a freshly pour cup of coffee be feel though a ceramic mug that have not quite heat up -lrb- do that make sense ? -rrb- . in other word mine be barely warm to the touch , so I be not sure why people be knock it for that . in summary : Atlanta Comcast user should have no problem with this modem , just make sure Comcast verify you line be clean and you should be good to go with it . +998 CableModem POS 5 Linksys DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem -lrb- dpc3008-cc -rrb- Amazon Prime offer a competitive price -lrb- since increase -rrb- . the order arrive on time along with another Amazon order place later that arrive a day early . if you be a basic internet service consumer , you probably be not shop for a DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem . if you want the best `` bang for you buck '' and need fast internet access say for video on demand or online gaming , read on . bottom line , this Cisco dpc3800-cc cable modem work on my Comcast service . it do not operate at DOCSIS 3.0 speed . my quantifiable thru put be now more than double by replace a lease docsis 2 cable modem with this docsis 3 modem . the pay back be 12.2 month by eliminate the Comcast modem lease . my disappointment rest with Comcast , not this product . here be why . while the FCC want US isp to make 100 million bit per second -lrb- 100 mbp -rrb- download speed we national standard by 2020 , we be far from that standard in 2012 . a cable internet provider that implement the full feature set of the cable industry 's DOCSIS 3.0 standard could meet the FCC objective . but my service provider be not even close and have no incentive to do so . all we can do , as consumer foot the bill , be to be inform -lrb- search `` DOCSIS 3.0 '' -rrb- and purchase product that will work if the service level be provide . you need to understand that there be three variable to you quality of internet service : 1 -rrb- cooperative manufacturer \/ service provider relationship to assure proper `` provision '' or the ` hand shake ' between the hardware and the isp ; 2 -rrb- a isp willing to implement a supportive infrastructure ; and 3 -rrb- the isp service level and equipment you select to pay for . I choose the Cisco dpc3008-cc to address factor 1 and 3 and understand that Comcast be not now provide adequate service to my location to achieve service level this cable modem be design to provide . in other word , I can not downgrade the dpc3008 device due to my isp service , factor 2 ! I move from NW fl to SW Florida a few month ago in 2012 . with the same hardware -lrb- a docsis 2 Scientific Atlanta cable modem -rrb- , different cable provider -lrb- Cox & Comcast -rrb- I have 2x faster thru put with cox cable than I now have with Comcast with the same modem . a personal visit to Comcast 's local service office confirm yesterday that my location be not receive the highest speed Comcast offer here . in contrast , I receive better than advertise thru put from cox -lrb- try 32 mbp with the same docsis 2 device ! -rrb- . the installation be simple . the CD base user guide be not clear . yes , you can just attach the new cable modem to you cable without waste time to call technical support , assume you cable internet be operable . keep you work cable modem until you set up you new one . as per the user guide , simply connect the new modem and power it up . observe the light to confirm the new modem on you cable initiate you isp 's automatic provision . now , direct connect you computer to the modem , power cycle the modem and open you browser . you eventually will see a screen that request you account number and register phone number , maybe the last 4 digit of you ssno . after a reset , I be good to go . the last install step be to then connect you wire \/ wireless local area network . you can do this within 30 minute . after testing that , I drive to Comcast , turn in the lease cable modem and challenge they service level to no avail . I will edit this review later if I experience any issue specific to the Cisco dpc3008-cc . I conclude that the negative review here be from inexperienced user or perhaps a firmware or provision issue now correct by Comcast and Cisco . after 24 hour , it be still work and never reboot . if a user do not properly `` provision '' the new modem with the isp , it will exhibit the reboot symptom complain about here . I deduce that the Comcast recommend speed test site -lrb- speedtest.net -rrb- be optimize for my local Comcast service since its measure speed with two different cable modem be nearly twice that of a different site -lrb- speakeasy.net -rrb- . within 24 hour , I run 4 test of the two different site . with speedtest.net , my download \/ upload average speed be 15.4 \/ 6.2 mbit\/sec with the doci 2 device versus 28.4 \/ 5.3 with the Cisco DOCSIS DPC3800 . with speakeasy.net , the average be 7.0 \/ 6.0 before versus 28.4 \/ 4.0 with the Cisco modem . clearly , the Cisco DPC3008 DOCSIS 3 cable modem perform better than a Scientific Atlanta DOCSIS 2 cable modem . be the expect DOCSIS 3 speed attain ? NO. . if you read all the above , you understand that I hold Comcast accountable , not this device from Cisco . be I obtain the DOCSIS 3 benefit of 8\/4 dynamic channel bonding ? there be no way to tell , except my speed test suggest NO. . I do not now know if that be hardware or a isp issue . yes I be receive the DOCSIS 3.0 benefit of ipv6 and a gigabit Ethernet port . yes , the setup be easy . I choose the Cisco dpc3008 primarily due to its DOCSIS 3.0 certification and its acceptance as a approve device by Comcast . Comcast have few docsis 3.0 device on its approval list that be still market by the manufacturer for consumer purchase with the 8 \/ 4 channel bonding and ipv6 feature of DOCSIS 3 . the newer Cisco DPC3010 and newer device from several manufacture be not yet approve so I stick with the older dpc3008 . why Comcast seem to need 4 year to certify a device , six year after DOCSIS 3 be define be unfathomable . Cisco seem to have go the extra mile to assure its device be acceptable to Comcast , factor 1 above . this specific cable modem be my best available option today and it work . +632 CableModem POS 5 Hi folk , just get the Zoom cable modem this afternoon , and what I can tell you be this , the unit be up and run with in 15 min , how well will it work the jury be still out . this also be the BEST service on delivery to-date with Amazon . I get the unit in two business day very cool bean . I will keep you all advise on the workings of the unit soonest . +329 CableModem POS 5 pro 's : \* Works fine out of the box . \* save I $ 7\/month in modem rental fee to Comcast . con 's : \* do not cook I bacon for breakfast in the morning . +242 CableModem POS 5 despite the high number of sub par review , I go ahead and purchase this modem\/router . it have only be 4day but it be work just fine . I have this hook up to Comcast Xfinity here in the Bay Area . I be get about 35mbp via wifus . the installation and wifus setup be relatively painless . +756 CableModem POS 5 Super little gadget . beat have to rent one ! not a peep out of it . the cable installer be not sure if he could use it but call and all be well . so far , so good . I get it install in April and it be now August . not a single issue . I forget it be there , which be how it should be . +156 CableModem POS 5 a few month ago , I order the 20 mbp speed from my isp , upgrade from 12 mbp due to multiple reload of streaming hd movie such as Netflix and Amazon movie . however , the speed be inconsistent . from time to time , my speed test would burst to 17 to 18 mbp , but most often stay around 12 mbp . I call technician out , I swap modem provide by my isp -lrb- rca dcm425 -rrb- , and I replace the cabling in my house . all to no avail . speed still consistently float around 12 mbp with infrequent burst of up to 18 . after struggle for month with my isp over not get the speed I be pay for , I finally break down and buy this modem as a last resort . honestly , I do not think it would make that much of a difference . I be convince the problem be with my isp . imagine my surprise when I plug this thing up , have my isp provision it , and run a speed test . speed test after speed test show a average of around 19 mbp , with the lowest speed at 18 mbp , and with burst up to 25 mbp . the speed be consistent from test to test . they most often float between 18 and 20 , but 1 time out of 10 , I 'll get a result of 25 . the packaging be very simple and the instruction be only one page . if you be a techno-geek , you 'll love the diagnostic build into this modem . the modem provide the downstream power level , upstream power level , snr , and much more . these stats come in very handy when it be time to call you isp support tech . and , you can compare you result with optimal range , easily find by search online for modem snr , downstream power , etc. . I can not say whether this product will solve you speed problem , but it do not hurt to try . even if it do not speed you connection up , you can return you rental modem back in and save yourself several dollar per month . in my case , it be save I $ 8 per month - and that be enough to pay for the recent Netflix price increase . \*\*\*\* Update \*\*\*\* this product be still go strong . it be still much more stable than my old rca cable modem . I have far fewer drop internet connection and fewer call to tech support . speed be still impressive . even when my connection drop to half for what I pay , this modem continue to deliver stable and consistent speed . rarely do my online streaming movie reset the connection during the middle of the movie , even at the lower speed . +534 CableModem POS 5 I order a Motorola sb6121 surfboard docso 3.0 Cable Modem to use with Comcast in Oregon . the modem have have no problem since I have acquire it . it be easy to use , compatible with Comcast , and work . the led be shaped and colour-coded , add to its usability . I be able to get high speed -lrb- over 20 mb -rrb- use this modem , though that have more to do with Comcast than it do with the modem itself . I have be use this modem for approximately a month ; so far I be completely satisfy with my purchase . +965 CableModem POS 5 just work like the rental cisco cable modem I get from Comcast . no issue of connection drop\/reset as describe by other people in review . till now I feel definitely worth get and escape the expensive rental cost +664 CableModem POS 5 I replace my Motorola SB5100 modem -lrb- which be almost 4 year old -rrb- with this Linksys . I have to get a modem for my mom , so I buy a new one and give she the old one . that be the only reason for I purchase a new modem . I choose this one because it have the best rating . honestly though , I do not really notice a improvement in performance . I have cox high speed service at 9 mbp download speed . maybe this new modem be faster , or even slower , but I do not notice it . I do lot of multitask online and play some game online with Xbox Live . ohh well ... as long as it work at least as well as with the older modem I be happy ! : - -rrb- +335 CableModem POS 5 this be one of the modem that be on Comcast 's recommend list for my cable system here in California . when the cable guy show up to install my internet service , he check it out and say `` it will work fine . '' after about a hour of pull wire around my house , he hook thing up to the modem and I have very high speed internet service . Pretty sweet . I choose this model because its upload and download spec be well above what my cable internet service need , and because it have advance feature like ipv6 . so I be assume they get the basic stuff right as well . other reviewer have say this model run hot , but I have not observe that . I have it in my utility room which be in the basement where it be pretty cool to start with . the light on the front of the unit show what be go on , which be mostly useful as it boot up . they work well , and be also attractive to look at -- they have a good designer for that . the unit have only 3 connection port on the back , one for power , one for the incoming cable , and one ethernet rj-45 out . if you want to hook up more than a single computer , you 'll need to connect this single Ethernet port to a router , or wireless router . I have the cable modem connect into a 5-port NetGear switch downstairs , which be connect to a 8-port NetGear switch upstairs , which be then connect to my Linksys wireless router . my computer then use the IP address that the wireless router provide . -lrb- it will not work to plug additional computer into the switch that I connect directly to the cable modem because the cable company provide only one IP address . it be the wireless router that hand out additional IP address . each computer that you be use require its own IP address . -rrb- the wireless connection work well for my 2 computer and my Roku box for Netflix . -lrb- and the bandwidth available to Netflix be amazing . it spend virtually no time at all buffer before it start streaming hd video . -rrb- oh , and of course I have to reboot everything -lrb- include the modem and the wireless router -rrb- for the new modem to be recognize . for now , I be keep my old dsl service as a backup internet service . not sure when I might decide to give that up . +432 CableModem POS 4 this hdtv amp work great I be get low signal number on my tivohd and pixeling on my other hdtv in the house and this amp fix all of it . I get high signal on all tv and Tivo . +807 CableModem POS 5 this be a Comcast approve modem . it be rate the maximum star -lrb- 3 -rrb- by Comcast . be very easy to setup , Comcast take only minute to activate it . I highly recommend this modem , run fairly cool . why pay Comcast for a lease modem . I lease my modem for 5 year , @ $ 7.00 per month , I could have purchase one new modem per year at that rate . the one thing Comcast do not tell or do for customer , the modem we lease be never update to the newest and greatest , so with the older modem you never keep up with the speed available to customer . I highly recommend this modem !! +713 CableModem POS 5 the unit have be in service for about 4 week now , and I be have no problem . seem to be a great product . Easy to install and get up and run . happy with my buy . +264 CableModem POS 5 I install this last month when I have my Comcast service hook up . so far get great speed through my wireless modem and no problem with my Ooma phone service -lrb- 30mbp download \/ 6mbp upload -rrb- . nothing much else to say . +742 CableModem POS 5 this product be awsome . I use rca and Motorola before this one , and they can not compete with this one . the connection become much smoother and stable leave no drop-out . I be bit skeptical about refub . one , but with this price , the performance can not be beat . I would definitely recommend this product to other . +350 CableModem NEG 2 combine a cable modem and a router be a great idea . however , the product need improve . you can not turn off the SSID Broadcast even though the manual say you can . Tech support acknowledge that but be not go to do anything about it . the signal be intermittent , so connect to a work VPN be not reliable . it disconnect the VPN constantly . finally , the device completely reset itself to the factory setting . if you buy this product , be ready to unplug the power on a regular basis to get it to work again . +456 CableModem POS 5 Works fast , easy intallation , no problem nor interruption . be ship within the the promise time . have to call Comcast to update to the new cable modem , take 7min and all ready . +924 CableModem POS 5 my old Motorola Surfboard 8200 die after a good 10 year run and I need another one . this modem have good online review and a reasonable price at Amazon . it install easily , although the instruction be a bit short and slightly vague about the signal light meaning . however it work fine and my system be up and run again . I would recommend this item for anyone who need a DOCSIS 3 level modem . +792 CableModem POS 5 we have Comcast Xfinity and get this cable modem to replace a older one that we be rent from Comcast . we cable service be throttle by the older one and buy we own will have a payback versus the rental in less than 12 month . I should have pay attention to the itemize billing earlier and figure out how much we be spend to rent what we should have buy : - -lrb- this have be hook up since 10\/13\/11 and there have not be a hiccup since . between this and a Asus dual band wireless router we have two desktop on the network , a netbook and a Roku box . no problem with any of it even when streaming video on the televeision and youtube on the netwook . +931 CableModem POS 5 even with a decent surge protector , my separate Netgear modem and Belkin router -lrb- both recent purchase -rrb- would need reboot after even brief power blip . and the wifi signal be weak . I be tell a combo unit would help , so go for this all-in-one unit . right out of the box , have no problem hook up and put in the wifus password . no need to use install disc . BUT , do have problem with Charter Comm 's try to complete the install . multiple try with they online `` modem replacement '' program be futile , and it take several try to get through on the phone . when I finally get a human on the line , all he need be the new Mac number and the rest of the install go quickly . strength of wifus and speed greatly improve over last system . now just wait on power blip to see what happen . +468 CableModem POS 5 I have have this product up and run on my home Network for about a month now non-stop and it have not fail yet . seem like a fine product . +971 CableModem POS 5 after read another review about this product , I be think about not purchase it . I have a linksys e1000 router that I be concern that it would be compatible . I purchase this modem and talk someone through the install over the phone . once install and configure by Charter , it work great . we originally have connect the usb to the computer and get nearly 25mb speed . I connect the linksy e1000 and have speed slowdown issue . I upgrade the firmware and get good enough speed for what I be do . I chalk it up to the Linksys have problem and not the Motorola Modem . +495 CableModem POS 5 buy this because I finally get tire of pay $ 5 a month to rent one from my cable company . I literally swap they , call the cable company with the Mac address and be back online within five minute . I have not have any issue whatsoever . excellent product . +463 CableModem POS 5 the Motorola sb6121 work fine as advertise . I have be use it for the past few week and it sit there quietly do its job . the transmission rate be good even when datum packet be go through my Linksys router . +621 CableModem POS 5 this be a great upgrade . the setup be very easy , not sure what other be say that they could not get it to work with Comcast . just call Comcast with you modem mac address and you be do . now I be get 18Mbps + down and 4mbp + up with basic service . delivery be fast . great purchase over all . +110 CableModem POS 5 I have split a exist cable to support another tv . one be get basic cable with no problem . the original hdtv really suffer from the split . I be get virtually no channel beyond basic cable through hdtv cable box . I hook up the Motorola 2-port signal booster in minute . I do have to do a cold restart of the cable box for it to sense the improved signal . the signal be now better than it ever be . I be really glad I buy this . +154 CableModem POS 5 install immediately with xfinity -- very easy . but then I go to plug in the phone line -- oops ! my fault not theirs -- just think you would like to know . Amazon as always a simple return and buy a modem ` with telephony '' from Arris -- also through Amazon . up and work after a couple call to Comcast -- now do with the $ 7\/month rental fee -- do not ask how long I have be pay that !!! +93 CableModem POS 4 the product be what I order and receive it in work order . I do not know what else to say . +357 CableModem POS 5 this unit take care of a lot of my Comcast issue . I have six television in the house along with the Xfinity internet . when Comcast decide to `` improve my service '' by go all digital , half of the television in the house pick up very little along with the improvement by Comcast , they infome I I need a newer modem to take advantage of the higher speed . purchase this modem and find out I do not have enough signal to provision it . purchase and install this signal booster on half of the service in my home that include the new modem and all my issue go away . if you be experience these same issue I highly recommend this booster as a crutch to improve you cable experience . very easy to install . the best price I could find be right here on Amazon . +50 CableModem POS 5 it be very easy to install and it be be work great ever since I install it over a month ago . +929 CableModem POS 5 buy this unit as it be on the recommend list of Comcast . better to buy the unit then pay Comcast $ 7\/month to lease it . many positive review . hook it up to my Netgear router , contact Comcast and give they the number require for they to activate . up in run in less than 30 minute . highly recommend . +547 CableModem POS 4 pro - DOCSIS 3.0 enablement , on a DOCSIS 3.0 capable network , deliver a superior experience -lrb- I speak for myself and many other , but not all -rrb- - native Gigabit LAN -lrb- my entire home network be Gigabit over Cat 6 -rrb- for future proofing \/ removal of bottleneck \/ standardized networking - smaller footprint than many other surfboard brand modem \/ box shape which allow more mounting option - save $ 5 a month on my monthly internet bill -lrb- modem rental fee -rrb- con - smaller footprint mean higher temp , this should remain in a open or ventilate area - the lead status indicator be unlabeled image that , which , as a fourth gen surfboard owner I easily understand , but may not make sense to a first time owner for identify the current status of the modem . I can imagine some funny tech support call with customer try to explain what this modem be do ... - \* not a product con \* this order be ship by MyMyia Broadband auction , LLC . the shipment method be Super Saver , in which they use USPS . this add almost a week to the overall shipment time . other thought ... online game play be noticeably smoother -lrb- not by much -rrb- , file download seem to hit peak speed more often -lrb- could just be the server I be download from -rrb- , and I now know I have one of the top end modem on my isp network -lrb- if the network become overloaded , I 'll pull more bandwidth than the next customer without channel bonding -rrb- . I be not thoroughly impressed with the use of USPS for shipping , as I purchase 2 other item in the same order , one arrive in 3 business day , the other in 4 , and this one in 7 -lrb- which be actually a day before the estimate arrival -rrb- . I order here to save $ 1.50 over the egg , and if I could do it again , would have go the other way . this be the only reason behind the -1 star on a otherwise flawless order \/ product . +448 CableModem POS 5 this be one of the suggest modem that would be compatible with Cox Communications . it be easy to install and work on the first try . so far , so good . +1 CableModem POS 5 I love the performance of the Motorola SBR121 SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 I be finally not pay for lease to cable company for use of they router . I recommend this product . +35 CableModem POS 5 this Linksys modem replace a rent RCN modem which appear to be identical . no software installation be require . the mac address just need to be register with rcn via a phone call that that be it ! the performance have be consistent and I no longer have to pay the monthly rental cost for a cable modem . just wish I would purchase this before ! +424 CableModem POS 5 I have use this model for more than 1 month . there be no problem and it work stably . this one fit comcast service and it be better than Motorola SB6120 . if there be more than 2 people share Comcast internet . this one will be better than Motorola SB6120 . +100 CableModem POS 5 I be get picture pixillation and complete loss of some hd channel on one of my hdtv connect to my Comcast cable through a standard coax splitter that also serve another hdtv and my modem . replace that splitter with this unit and everything work perfectly -lrb- two hdtv and a modem -rrb- . a bi-directional unit be critical so that outbound traffic can be pass through -lrb- I have a old uni-directional power splitter that would not work -rrb- . only extra piece need be a coax cable to connect the splitter to the ac power supply that come with it . +450 CableModem POS 5 as a Charter subscriber with a `` up to '' 100mb line , this modem have serve I very well . my speedtest result usually yield between the high 70 's and the low 90 's -lrb- in megabit per second , -rrb- but I believe that be a Charter throttle as oppose to a modem dysfunction . result with the 100mb package on my old docsis 2 modem be in the mid 20 's . +571 CableModem POS 5 when my former cable modem die several year ago , I replace it with the Zoom Technologies , Inc. model 5241 , and I have not experience a single problem with my Comcast internet connection since that time . download speed , as measure by the flash -lrb- Adobe -rrb- download\/upload speed test at the dslreport site , be typically 3.5 megabits\/second , but I have measure it as high as 6 megabits\/second . these number be probably determine more by Comcast than by the cable modem , but they do indicate that the modem perform at this speed at a minimum . +168 CableModem POS 5 I get this install in place of my mot sb5101 ; my isp be Comcast . after test it appear that the -lrb- ... -rrb- yield different result on download from 6mz to 16mz depend on time of day . dsl report test give about a 40 % speed increase . so , it do appear offer superior speed to the sb5101 . also , the error rate on packet reception be significantly lower . +717 CableModem POS 4 it work great and be easy to set up . I get this for my father who have never have broadband before . he be happy with it . nothing to compare it to previously . +875 CableModem NEG 1 you should know that Netgear do not sell this modem to individual , only isp . at least that be what Netgear keep tell I . it be pretty frightening when a company that be suppose to be a major internet player can not do a Google search to see that over 100 store sell this modem directly to user . my cmd31t die six week after it be purchase . one day it be work fine and the next day i have no internet connection with my isp . first I call my isp and do all the stuff they ask . then my isp send out a technician with a network analyzer . my connection be fine , the modem be not . then the nightmare begin . the Netgear support number connect to a call center in India . everyone there follow the script exactly . the first customer Service Representative -lrb- CSR -rrb- tell I that Netgear do not do support for this modem , I have to call my isp . I call my isp to check and they confirm that since this be a privately purchase modem that Netgear be responsible for support . the second CSR have I do a bunch of diagnostic step . nothing work , but since I could still see the GUI in the modem , the modem must be fine . the third CSR tell I to call the isp and when I ask to speak to a supervisor , blow I off . the forth CSR say someone from Netgear would call I . I be still wait for a RMA so I can return this modem two week later . BTW , forget any support if you run Linux . you can tell the CSR you IP address , dn , and default route , -lrb- which be much easier to find in Linux -rrb- but if you be not run windoze they tell you they can not do support . the technician from the isp recommend Arris or Motorola . I buy a Motorola modem because I might not ever get a rma from Netgear . if you buy this modem and it fail you will not get any support from Netgear . 9 March 2012 Update : my first Email contact with Netgear be 22 February 2012 . I have send they my Amazon purchase receipt twice . still no rma from Netgear . I be send a email to Netgear Technical support every few day tell they I still have not receive a rma . if I ever receive a rma I will post how long it take . so far my Motorola surfboard sbg901 be work O.K. it be not DOCSIS 3.0 but at least it work . 22 March 2012 Update : it look like Netgear be never go to send I a rma . the only response I get from Chithra or Vishnu or Simbhu or Arif be `` please wait so that they can get the necessary detail from they to assist you better . '' I will be happy to post or forward any of these email from Netgear . Netgear automatically close any support case in seven day if you do not reply to they Email . they be hope I will get tired of wait and just write off the $ 90 I pay for the cmd31t . please think twice before buy any Netgear product 24 March 2012 Update ; check out the comment from Netgear !!! they will not respond to my support case but they sure as heckfire will try and spin bad pr !!! oh , ipv6 be the problem ? then why have my Motorola modem work perfectly the day after my Netgear modem fail ? maybe Motorola make a better product than Netgear . or maybe my isp temporarily switch to ipv6 and then wait until I call to tell they I buy a Motorola modem and immediately switch back to ipv4 so the Motorola modem work . Hmmm ... I wonder ? +396 CableModem NEG 1 this modem do not work . have to have a technician come out to determine why internet be not work ; turn out to be the modem . +550 CableModem POS 5 receive in factory packaging , be very easy to set up with comcast xfinity service . price be about the same on all the site +893 CableModem NEU 3 buy a better modem and it be too much of a hassle to return it to the vendor who I would not purchase from again . +927 CableModem POS 5 I have nothing bad to say about this product . it be very easy to install and require minimal effort to connect it all up .

I run the cable speed testing and I get exactly what I be suppose to get . download speed be blaze fast . I love it and I do not have to pay rental fee to cox and this thing will pay itself off within a year . +471 CableModem POS 5 connect it to my network , contact Comcast to upgrade to blast ! speed -lrb- $ 10\/month increase -rrb- ; download speed go from 17 to 35 + mbp , upload speed go from 4 to 8 mbp . solid cable model . ready for ipv6 . +689 CableModem POS 5 plug n play , work great , easy activation with comcast cable co. . I would highly recommend versus rent one for seven buck a month . +982 CableModem POS 5 I have a Motorola SB6120 SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 eXtreme Broadband Cable Modem not long after that I move and the modem work again . . Great must of only be that one place ... nope ! start to reset at my new place with Comcast . . Ok order this modem , which be use by Comcast and so far nothing but perfect internet connection . I get 22 Megabit DL connection , 4 ul . not a single reset or problem . at one point I do have a problem but it turn out to be my surge protector the cable be pass through . highly recommend !! +896 CableModem POS 5 if you want the best , you have to be willing to pay for quality . between buy this and change provider my speed , reliability and gaming have greatly improve . +63 CableModem POS 5 I recently have to install tuning adapter for my TiVo box in order to receive certain high definition channel from Time Warner . these adapter drop the signal down from around 93 to 44 as measure by the TiVo signal strength function . I have a passive 4:1 splitter in the attic which work fine until these adapter be install . after the tuning adapter be install some of the channel would get the dreaded digital signal drop-out . I install this signal booster which take about 15 minute - most of which be just to tie the cable back neatly . now I have 90 to 100 signal level on all of my TiVo box and the picture quality be great . I do not use this on my internet connection as it be run separately from my other cable . product feel very solid and well build . I have only have it a couple of week , so can not comment on the long term reliability , but so far it be a great little unit . +510 CableModem POS 5 I buy the sb6121 , because Comcast 's list of approve broadband modem ; show this modem be approve for all speed tier . I do not want to be charge $ 7 for use they modem . it be not cheap , but of coarse you get what you pay for . this model of modem be not find at consumer electronic store . have a XBOX 360 connect to this modem 's online gaming capability feature . no problem , at all in this area . I be very satisfied with the sb6121 . one complaint I have about this modem be that it be assemble in China . +615 CableModem NEU 3 read the review on Amazon , I decide against the Netgear product . apparently in DOCSIS cable modem , the manufacturer be not the one who control the firmware , it be the cable service provider . even be very comfortable muck with these device , I decide to go with the Motorol sb6121 as I didnt want to spend lot of time install the Netgear modem . issue find when use this with Comcast : -lrb- 1 -rrb- this device do not pick the dn and route information automatically while get a IP address . due to this , I have to manually enter this information in the Netgear Wireless Router that I use currently . -lrb- 2 -rrb- this device do not work flawlessly with a Mac . it take I a while to figure it out after read doc on the internet . its difficult to browse the web and trouble-shoot when the internet connection be down ! it work now , but every now and then when the dynamic ip-address expire , I have to poke around and get the internet to work again . Comcast technical support over the phone will not help if the device get and ip-address . they do not care if the route and dn information be not get set . this Motorola model be certify by Comcast - strange ! Comcast support recommend I get a professional to come and look at the problem and pay more than the cost of this modem if its not a Comcast issue . +996 CableModem POS 5 to decide which DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem to use , 1st go to DOCSIS Devices MyDeviceInfo on Comcast to see what they support and possibly recommend by certification . for my money , only 2 option : Motorola SB6120 SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 eXtreme Broadband Cable Modem choose the later , newer model . more widely use sb6120 be test only to level 2 . Comcast claim to have test sb 6121 to more stringent level 3 certification . Hope to future proof with use this newer model . have not notice , as other , heat to be a problem . Install & SetUp be easy . help reading comment from user -lrb- Comcast employee -rrb- with sb6120 . do not try Comcast self activation web page since this be a modem change and not a new install . plug sb6121 into WAN Cable with nothing else attach . then call Comcast Tech support . change from Linksys BEFCMU10 v4 DOCSIS 2.0 to Motorola SB6121 DOCSIS 3.0 . Comcast see Device , send refresh signal . Voila ! then connected pc direct to Cable Modem . finish with Comcast Tech support . take maybe 20 minute on phone to verify all be work . final hookup with router , in the mix , and clone pc MAC Address into Router . do processing ! accord to sb6121 log , sw download successful - Via Config file , SW Download INIT - Via Config file . MAC Address Identified . light , Camera Action . Houston , we have connection ! be it faster than what we have ? no. . why Upgrade ? concerned about end of Life Devices for what we have . cisco-linksy befcmu10 Ethernet Cable Modem prior version do . piece of mind to stay one step ahead of obsolescent technology . why buy vs. rent ? not fond of rent . will pay for its self in less than a year . try RoadRunner Cable Modem then later try Comcast Cable Modem neither of which would connect reliably . both have weak signal require a service call mean down time . purchase Cable modem would always work . have own 2 linksy befcmu10 v4 DOCSIS 2.0 Cable modem . purchase for $ 20.00 each -lrb- elsewhere -rrb- when they be sell for $ 80.00 each , so have a backup . First Linksys befcmu10 v4 buy the farm during a lighten strike . yes , even on a UPS . the lighten strike take out the Cable Modem and a D-Link 8 Port Gigabit switch . two router , in line for security , in between be untouched . now that I think of it , 1 router lose 1 Port leave 3 more port to use . unfortunate but still a usable device . second linksy befcmu10 v4 have work until now . have sit on shelf for backup \/ book end . happy with decision to go sb6121 Gigabit Cable Modem to D-Link DIR-655 Extreme N Gigabit Wireless Router and if we ever upgrade we Comcast to 100baset or Comcast upgrade to ipv6 , wow . I can dream ! +531 CableModem POS 5 this modem be great , I have a horror story with a Motorola sb6121 so in desperation I turn to the 3008 cc . set up be a breeze and it have not drop since installation . it be very small so you can tuck it away but I would not put it anywhere with 0 air flow cause it run a little warm . side note : you can log into the modem via the standard IP address but cisco have it lock down so you do not have access to the log just the connection information . +277 CableModem NEG 1 I purchase this Motorola bda-s1 and it die a few day after I receive it . Amazon ask I to deal with the company that sell it through Amazon , CableTVAmps.com and they be impossible to get in touch with . I be not too happy with they return policy either . look like I be get screw on this one . +536 CableModem POS 5 I purchase this modem because I be tire of be charge $ 7.50 every month by my cable provider . I like the fact that it be DOCSIS 3.0 and get many good review . setup be a snap and the modem be super fast . great service from Amazon as usual . +752 CableModem POS 5 this modem have be all that I want it to be . I have a fairly extensive network as home network go and it have be rock solid with this modem . I get this to replace a 6120 that I have for year but it just be not handle the load anymore . the 6121 have give I no problem whatsoever . I also love the fact that it be about 1\/2 the size of the 6120 . live in a condo , where space be at a premium , every little bit help . speed have be consistently test above the rate that I be pay for , even when use my wireless connection . Gotta love Docsis 3.0 . +246 CableModem POS 5 to establish some background , I have cox hsus and have be use this modem for about a week . I buy this modem to replace a trusty 6 year old Scientific Atlanta DOCSIS 2.0 modem that bite the dust . I really like how the sb6121 keep my speed constant day and night . the 4x4 channel bonding help alleviate the peak time slow downs associate with a busy\/overcrowded node . on the flip side , channel bonding also help you isp enforce the cap on you subscribe internet speed . on my old modem , I would often see 30 Mbps down -lrb- my advertised speed w\/powerboost be 20 mbp -rrb- . speed test indicate my speed be now lock at 20-20 .5 mbp throughout the day . yet interestingly , I be get 15 mbp up ; -lrb- more than quadruple the speed advertise for my connection tier -rrb- ! I guess cox be not enforce upstream speed cap that well at the moment . I love how Motorola let user access the full modem signal and log at 192.168.100.1 . activate the unit be a breeze - simply call cox and read they the modem MAC ID and customer s\/n from the bottom of the box the modem come in . I will post a update review after I have play with and test the modem for a few month . +688 CableModem POS 5 hook it up and then spend 10 minute on the phone with Comcast to get new MAC address register . Everything work great . hard to believe I have be pay Comcast $ 5 per month for year when I could get essentially the same equipment for a one time $ 30 fee . the old modem go back to comcast later today . +506 CableModem POS 5 receive my ZOOM 5350 3.0 Modem-Router combo today . could not wait to install it . call cox . internet and within minute the ZOOM 5350 be up and run . wait at least ten minute for a tech person come on line to give he the MAC address , etc. . this dude know how to connect with speed to the internet . my old Motorola Surfboard SB5100 modem as become of old age and need replace . my surfboard sb5100 download speed be 22.24 mbp , and upload speed be 3.54 mbp . this zoom 5350 as lighting download speed of 28.56 mbp and upload speed of 8.14 mbp . that be good enough for I and not complain . I 'll report back in couple month for another report . +398 CableModem NEG 2 I be sure the Motorola surfboard sb6121 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem be a very capable modem consider it be a Motorola product ; however , I have to put 2 star to get people attention . the Motorola surfboard sb6121 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem be not yet on COMCAST 's list of support modem . I think that wait 4 month since the release of this product would give COMCAST time to obtain the software require to add the sb6121 to they network . well , I be wrong . it be a shame to give this product 2 star when I never even get the chance run it through its pace . I would rather give COMCAST 2 star for be lazy . the COMCAST tech that come to setup my modem say that the COMCAST system identify my modem ; however , that be about it . he connect a different modem to show I that modem on the list will work . he say that he have a Motorola SB6120 SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 eXtreme Broadband Cable Modem so unfortunately , I have to return the sb6121 and I order the sb6120 . I be not slam Amazon or this product . I just want to make COMCAST customer or future COMCAST customer aware that the sb6121 will not work on the COMCAST network YET . +161 CableModem POS 5 speedtest.net -lrb- thanks to the info provide somewhere -rrb- test download speed around 25 m with Comcast . no problem over 2 week so far and its size smaller than the Comcast rental . return rental on the day of account activation - feel good . by the way , eco friendly packing be a great idea , highly encourage . +947 CableModem POS 4 very easy to set-up . only have to call comcast to notify of change and they ask for some info , like serial # model # etc. . . Works Great . +413 CableModem POS 5 the unit work very well and continue to do a good job . I use it along with a Linksys router +457 CableModem NEG 1 I buy this modem as a replacement for my comcast-rented DOCSIS 2.0 modem , and it work great when I connect my computer directly to the modem . when connect through my Apple Airport Extreme 802.11 n -lrb- 1st generation -rrb- router , though , I begin to see problem . Whenever I be do anything that use a substantial portion of my bandwidth -lrb- e.g. download large file or watch Netflix streaming -rrb- , after a couple of minute I would begin to see ping time to test server rise and eventually stop altogether . the connection would effectively drop for a minute or two , and then it would come back . my problem be very similar to the one report at -lrb- ... -rrb- I have use this router successfully with my prior cable modem , so there must be some incompatibility between the modem and my router . I also know other have report no problem with airport extreme router and this modem -lrb- though I do not know which generation of the airport Extreme they be use -rrb- . +963 CableModem POS 5 I recently switch from dsl to high speed internet , basically from CenturyLink to Charter . while talk with the Charter rep , I manage to find the listing of all the modem that they lease out and come across this beauty . I decline to lease this modem from they , as they want $ 7 a month , so you basically buy two of these modem over the course of a two year contract . so this be a no-brainer and I buy it . the technician that come out be surprise to see this modem while hook everything up as the DOCSIS 2.0 modem can not handle very high speed , and this be where the DOCSIS 3.0 come in . I be download speed up to 50 mbp now . I just have to change my wireless router setting to DHCP and the DOCSIS 3.0 take over and I be on my way to the high speed superhighway ! I do not have to go into the modem GUI to mess with any setting either . so basically I hook this up from the coax cable in the wall , feed a cat6 cable from it to my wireless dual band router , set my router to DHCP , and everything on my network instantly have connection . its worth the money if you be look to get speed of over 30mbp to you home and lease one from the cable company be just a waste of money in my opinion . +80 CableModem POS 4 this device work right out of the box . . grant I have to work with the cable service provider ; have to provide MAC address . have be work w \/ out failure since put on-line over a month ago . I would highly recommend this product for any cable internet customer . I have it in a open-air arrangement and have no trouble with overheating . +247 CableModem POS 5 I have broadband from Comcast and I have zero issue set the modem up with they . it connect right away and the Comcast technician over the phone be able to activate my internet almost instantly . I live in San Francisco and with this Modem and Comcast I be basically get the full 20mb connection , streaming be almost always perfectly smooth from Netflix . do not have any issue set this up with my Apple Time Capsule either . 5 star ! +326 CableModem POS 4 very quick response to email , product work great ! although it be miss the cable wire it be suppose to come with which i be guess it be suppose to be the ethernet cord . +338 CableModem POS 5 buy this modem to end my 7.00 $ monthly fee from my internet provider . hook it up and call the provider for activation and never look back . +43 CableModem POS 5 we be a Comcast customer and we spend quite a friggin lot for hdtv and other upgrade . but we be experience annoying problem : during we favorite show , it would periodically pixellate , stutter , or even freeze for several seconds . we would end up have to watch on regular non-hd channel -lrb- when possible -rrb- . On-Demand movie download be impossible , they would always crash or do the same thing . and DVR would show would do it , and on some occassion the dvr recording seem to black out -lrb- but we figure out way to get they to `` pop back '' , by start other recording and then switch half-way -rrb- . we have Comcast out several time . they upgrade we cable , assure we it be near 100 % signal into the house , and even check the signal to the tv 's . they even install a amplifier . I swap theirs out and put this one in its place . WOW . we signal even look better and all those issue go away ! one caveat : I notice the Comcast guy use a amplifier and then split off into 3 cable after the single amplify line ! IDIOT !!! I 'll bet if it be a 4-way splitter we would have never have these issue . in any event , this fix the problem . if you be experience similar issue , get this booster . it work great ! finally we be get what we pay all this money for !!! +728 CableModem POS 5 decide to upgrade from dsl to cable modem . be go to buy a Motorola Surfboard , but read review mention reliability issue and compatibility issue with my isp -lrb- Comcast -rrb- . start a in-depth shopping effort for a combined cable modem , router , and n-wireless router and come to a brand I have not hear of -lrb- zoom -rrb- that be on the comcast-approved list . read the specification the modem would seem to be massively over-engineered for home use and a two year warranty be exceptional among its competitor . DOCSIS 3.0 be a must-have for my purchase . installation be a snap . customization for security be easy and I now have the fastest connection I have ever have and WPS security . use basic , bargain-level Comcast dsl I get download speed of 2.5 mbytes\/sec and upload around 500k . Wireless signal be very strong and without interference in a building with -lrb- literally -rrb- a hundred compete network in range . I can not slow this thing down no matter how many Macs , pc , ipod , and droid I have streaming high-resolution video at the same time . Netflix movie be instantaneous . I have have no compatibility issue with any of my wifi-enabled device . the modem support 253 device at a time , so would be ideal if I be to set up a boiler-room stock operation or technical-support call center in my den ! the device be aesthetically appealing and connect directly by wire to any of the 4 port -lrb- have not try the usb port yet -rrb- give a bit more speed . frankly , I can not find anything that I have to wait to stream or download , so I have not have cause to do so other than to test . the build , while plastic , feel very solid . there be no external power converter , so the plug do not monopolize my power-strip . I have never feel much about modem before , but this one actually give I pleasure to own . I think this be the perfect n-wireless cable modem for anyone who value speed . it would probably be great for gamer and people use videoconferencing . it will last , have a better warranty than competitor , be at the bleeding-edge of technology , and will support the come ipv6 protocol . I realize I be take a chance when I buy from a maker I do not know . I be glad I do . +556 CableModem POS 5 I love save $ 7 each month ... note : this do not have a phone port -lrb- you can only get those from the cable company -rrb- ; but most people should be switch to VOIP over Google Voice anyway ... obi110 Voice Service Bridge and VoIP Telephone Adapter +4 CableModem POS 5 get a letter from Comcast say I need a new docsis3 .0 modem , so I look up what be a good one and this one come up ! very easy to setup , just call COMCAST FIRST ! I try a few time to do the automatic setup , but Comcast do not let you do it . it keep reset it every 3 minute or so , so it look like you can set it up and then it fail ... so just call Comcast -lrb- or you provider -rrb- and it work great ! use this with a Linksys ea3500 and it be a vast improvement over my old modem\/access point . +921 CableModem POS 5 definitely beat pay 8 buck a month under Comcast . as long as you know the modem be compatible for you provider\/plan , it be the way to go . Works as intended and I have have no problem ! +444 CableModem POS 5 Got this with Charter Internet installation to replace Verizon dsl service . as a aside , the dsl be molasses compare to cable . anyhow , as for this modem , we have have zero issue . no dropout , no random reboot , etc. . however , it make no sense pay a monthly fee for a $ 86 item , so now that the rental unit have prove itself , we 'll be buy the same model to replace it . for what it be worth , my bet be that 90 % of complaint about modem a router not work correctly have more to do with user not set they up correctly than with the product themselves . +981 CableModem POS 5 upgrade from charter 's modem , motorolum sb5101 to this modem . charter 30mb download 3mb upload internet package . i be get 20-22mb speed . i replace the 5101 with this modem and test several speed test site , speakeasy and charter own speed test . in the middle of the day on president day when a lot of people be home from work and probably on the internet more then a usual Monday . i be get 52-60mb download and 4-4 .5 mb upload . awsome speed . well worth the upgrade . +354 CableModem NEG 1 when I set it up it take forever to get connect with Comcast because it keep reboot over and over again . finally it stop and I get set up with Comcast for the first time . some session on my computer\/surfing the web be fine but other time it will randomly reboot\/reset . I can not find any explanation for this online other than it be a faulty modem . +899 CableModem POS 5 product arrive ahead of schedule today , 7\/5\/12 , and it be very easy to contect . I can not believe how fast the product deliver base a schedule of 7\/6\/12 to 7\/12\/12 . I be really please with the speed of this modem . I would certainly recommend this model . +490 CableModem POS 5 this cable modem increase download speed by 50 % and decrease ping latency from 13ms average to 10ms average ! the download speed also become more stable at around 1.2 mb\/sec . I highly recommend user of average isp supply cable modem to upgrade to this one ! I purchase this cable modem mainly because of the intermittent disconnection of Socal Time Warner Internet in my house located at Brea , CA . the original setup be comprise of a ASUS Black Diamond dual band wireless-n 600 router -lrb- rt-n56u -rrb- and a D-Link DCM-202 DOCSIS 2.0 USB\/Ethernet Cable Modem . before install the new Motorola sb6121 cable modem , the download\/upload speed be approximately 17\/1 mbp , and the internet connection be very unstable . I though that be cause by the newly install ASUS rt-n56u wireless router . I go through many official and unofficial discussion thread and review of the new ASUS router , which receive many very positive review , and I try to trouble-shoot the disconnection by myself without success . I also call and complain to Time Warner twice , and every time the issue be temporary solve by use only the D-Link modem . at this point , I start to doubt if the issue be cause by the original D-Link dcm-202 cable model . I contact Time Warner again to make a appointment for they to send a engineer here to check the signal quality of the exist cable . Ron come , check it , and find no problem . he then uninstall my D-Link dcm-202 modem and install a Ambit Cable Modem u10c018 without any extra charge . immediately after use the new Ambit cable modem , the disconnection issue be go and the ASUS router work really well afterward . the download speed also become more stable but not too much faster than D-Link DCM-202 . on the same day , two hour after Ambit cable modem be install , the Motorola sb6121 arrive . I decide to give it a try and call Time Warner to register my Motorola SB6121 Cable Modem . totally the process take almost a hour after my call be transfer three time . immediately I test the speed on speedtest.net . I be amaze by the initial number of the burst speed : 50mbp ! after test few more time , the speed be cap at around 27mbp stably ; that be still a huge improvement . I wish I have order this model earlier to save all those time waste to trouble shoot previous issue . +179 CableModem POS 5 this be the second Motorola cable modem I have purchase -lrb- I lose the first when my apartment burn down -rrb- , and it seem as reliable as the first . I hope to get as many year out of this one as the first . so far , so good . +795 CableModem POS 5 I decide to buy a cable modem when Comcast raise the rental price from $ 3 to $ 5\/month . hooked this up in no time , call Comcast with the MAC address , and be up and run after reset the modem and the router . it work great . the modem come in a box with a Linksys logo that indicate it be a `` certified refurbish product '' , and carry a 90-day factory warranty . I look forward to save $ 60\/year . as a bonus , this support the DOCSIS 2.0 standard , so I should be see even better throughput than the 7yo DOCSIS 1.1 modem I be rent . +961 CableModem POS 5 Works really well , I be not sure if it be I or how this be possible but my downstream speed have jump up by 10 mbp on average I go from a avg of 7-10 to 19-25 mbp . I connect the old modem just to test it out . nice and compact I love it , I sit it broadside down not like in picture . +839 CableModem POS 5 own you own modem be the smart way to go . Comcast be charge we $ 5 a month to rent one , it take just 8 month to save money with this modem . -lrb- this modem be on sale when I buy it -rrb- this be the most reliable cable modem I have ever use . I have have it for about two year now and it be still go strong . I can not think of the last time I have a network problem that be the fault of the modem . I do not even reset the modem anymore when have problem , since it be always the router . Pretty amazing for a refurbish modem . it be a shame Linksys brand router be not this dependable . if they be I would be a very happy camper . one downside : this modem use the aging docsis 2 standard , which do not support ipv6 . when isp start to roll out ipv6 you will not be able to take advantage of it with the cm100 . it do not matter at all for normal people because ipv6 support will not be \* require \* for many , many year , but if you be a techie like I and you want ipv6 asap , you be better off get a modem that support it . +663 CableModem POS 5 Works great on Comcast ! Got rid of the crappy old Comcast rental modem which cost $ 84\/year ... forever . fast , easy to setup , easy to open packaging ! you have to return you old rental modem to Comcast first before they let you switch it over . write down the model number and take one of the sticker it come with that have the serial\/mac address on it when you return you old one and they will switch it over . +675 CableModem POS 5 purchase to get rid of the lease fee from cable company . Works great if not better than the cable company 's . work for comcast in ct +167 CableModem POS 4 I buy a refurbish Linksys cm100 because my isp decide to go up on the rental even for modem already install , which make no sense whatsoever as they have already purchase the modem and there be no associated monthly expense other than a occasional replacement , just pure profit for they . I hope everyone do the same thing and `` stick it to the man '' as young people say these day . my only real complaint about the modem be the same as with other similar modem : no power switch so you have to unplug it to turn it off and the led be very bright at night and I find that annoy . as far as minor issue , the enclosed disc be not for OSX , only Windows -lrb- not that it be need -rrb- and the MAC address be print so small that I have to use a magnifying glass and a bright light to read it . if you do not get the MAC address right when you call you isp , it will not work at all . as a tip , the letter be slightly taller than the number so it be easy to tell a 0 from a o -- with the magnifying glass . the packing be secure with the component in a pulpboard tray inside two cardboard box . aesthetically , it have a small footprint and no extraneous design feature , which I appreciate . my isp 's tech support have some difficulty get I online with the new modem but it be all they fault and have nothing to do with the modem itself . at first he say the problem must be with the modem but I insist that he double check and he `` run diagnostic '' and keep I on hold for fifteen minute and then all be well after a restart of the modem and the computer . I do not make he explain what the problem be since I be just glad the problem be resolve and I have waste enough time . the entire call last exactly sixty minute ! a speed test show I be get the full speed subscribe to so no complaint on that -- it work just fine . before purchase this modem I do talk with my isp tech support to confirm it be compatible . they be switch over to DOCSIS 3.0 for higher speed but he say for anything under 10 mbp , DOCSIS 2.0 would continue to work fine indefinitely . still , check with you isp to be sure . my provider be RCN and they do not list this modem but he say any DOCSIS 2.0 modem would be fine . I be careful to purchase from a dealer who offer a seven day return as many seller force you to deal with Linksys for warranty issue even if it be DOA . update 9\/7\/12 : this little modem have be run continuously since purchase except when I have be out of town without any problem . it have pay for itself many time over in modem rental savings . +308 CableModem POS 4 this modem be purchase to replace a ancient lease modem from Comcast -lrb- Surfboard series -rrb- that be start to randomly drop the link . the modem be select base on rating on Amazon -lrb- and elsewhere -rrb- and the fact that it be one of the few three-star modem indicate as fully compatible by Comcast . the only real issue in install it be to get through to Comcast support to give they the modem type , serial number and MAC address . after the wait for someone to pick up my request for action in install my own modem thing go pretty smoothly . pro : before install the sb16121 the download speed with the old Surfboard modem be 14-16mbps and upload speed 1.4 mbp to 1.6 mbp . after install the new new DOCSIS 3.0 certify modem the speed increase to 25mbp + download and 5-6mbp upload - very nice ! the front panel indicator can easily be see and give a good indication of the status of the connection with the isp . the ac adapter be easy to plug into almost any surge protector or up -lrb- it be not as likely to block nearby receptacle for example -rrb- and the supply network cable be of good quality . documentation be spare but to-the-point and informative . con : the only flaw -lrb- and it be a modest one -rrb- that I have note so far with the modem be that it be easily tip over . since the sb16121 vent heat to the side you do not want to block the flow of air by place book or the like to keep it upright since they could cause excessive heat build-up and a potentially shorter life span for what be not a cheap product . so far the solution have be to prop it up between a low-profile Linksys wireless router this computer use and a small -lrb- less than 2 '' high -rrb- usb hub . this all might be no big deal to those of you with deft and sure hand and motion but I be willing to wager a nic or two that I be not the only goofily-coordinated nerd out there and the sound of this modem smack down on its ' side every 15 minute or so be disconcerting , and possibly a threat to the warranty . a recommend product for those of you whom want to own you cable modem instead of lease it from you isp and\/or want to upgrade performance . +465 CableModem POS 5 I be use this modem with Comcast service . the setup be very easy , although in typical isp fashion the guy on the phone have no idea be be go on . I be able to set up the router with just a phone call , although they make I purchase they ` self-installation kit ' for $ 10 -lrb- I never recieve the kit in the mail -rrb- . but enough rant about Comcast , the modem itself seem to be work very well . I have not experience any drop in service and my speed appear very consistent . I have not do any investigation into my actual speed yet , but everything feel as quick as I would expect from a Docsis 3.0 modem . all in all , I be very satisfied with my purchase , provide it last a few year . +272 CableModem NEG 2 I must have get one of the Monday morning one . work for less than one year . last few week continue to crash -lrb- drop signal -rrb- . I wonder about all the five star rating when I see the number of refurbish unit for sale . I must not be the only one experience a defective unit . when it work it work well ; however , I expect to get more than one year service from the unit . +121 CableModem POS 5 install be simple . hook up cable and power . Charter instantly recognize I be use a different modem . type in my Charter account number and the MAC number off my old modem , in the provide space . do . be use it for two week now with no problem . +181 CableModem POS 4 to keep it short , I can not find anything wrong with this product , in fact it be easy to install and easy to use . I have use it for a month now and it have not give I any issue . I would recommend it to someone look to use it with a 15mbp connection . +533 CableModem POS 4 Works as advertise . I would be rent the standard Comcast internet cable modem for the last several year . now that I be not be reimburse for monthly internet expense I decide to checkout what modem Comcast support so that I can purchase instead of rent . Comcast identify this modem as support . I decide to spend a little more since it be already DOCSIS 3.0 and can support higher speed if I upgrade my bandwidth . it take several time to get the modem completely activate through the Comcast web site and setup process . I tire the activation process use Chrome but have some problem . when I switch over to ie and after have Comcast re-initialize the modem it be be work great ever since . +631 CableModem POS 5 after read the review of this and other cable modem , I feel like I be take a leap of faith to purchase it because some reviewer hate it , other love it . what I find be that this be a good value for the price . it have be work solid for almost a month now , no problem . I have own a Motorola surfboard sb4200 for about 10 year and it work just fine all that time , so I figure I would stick with Motorola . the only reason I upgrade be that my cable provider say I need a DOCSIS 3.0 modem . my old one still work fine on they system but be unable to provide the highest speed they offer -lrb- I think it be DOCSIS 2.0 -rrb- . I decide not to get the more advanced model with integrate router\/switch in it because I already have a router\/switch that I have be use , plus I think a reviewer say it run hotter . anyway , this decision do not turn out perfectly , but it give I a education . more on that in a second . the best part be that when I plug directly into the modem and get on the phone with Comcast , walk through the process of set it up with they , I get a immediate speed boost . on the old cable modem , I be run at about 12 mbp download , 1.5 mbp upload . now I be cruise along at 25mbp down and 4.2 mbp up . now about that router\/switch . I find out that when I plug it in to the modem , my speed drop back to 12 mbp . the reason be that the switch 's WAN port only support up to 10mbp -lrb- roughly -rrb- between it and the cable modem . the router be just about as old as my previous cable modem ... so ... my next purchase be a Linksys wrt54gl 4-port wireless router\/switch . the new router can talk to the modem at full speed , so I get my full 25 mbp down again . I still appreciate have the modem separate from the router because it give I more option . sometime I might want a 8-port wire router instead of be limit to 4 wire port . bottom line be that the slowdown problem be cause by the router , not by this cable modem . +145 CableModem POS 5 this modem seem to perform well and setup be pretty quick and easy , include a call to Comcast for activation . DOCSIS 3.0 make a big difference in my internet download speed ... now up to 24-25 mbp . I have have it for less than a week , but so far I be very pleased . +280 CableModem POS 5 this modem be a plug and play the call to Comcast take a lot longer than to install the modem . very very fast well worth the money , want to buy Comcast old modem they would not sell not I be glad they would not sell . now I really know what high speed internet be . +696 CableModem POS 5 I recommend this product . save $ 5 \/ month rental for the modem provide by the cable operator and this be far better to what be provide to I by the cable operator . +250 CableModem POS 5 I also decide to upgrade from dsl , as 1 mbp be the fastest we could get in we neighborhood . I do my due diligence and decide upon the Zoom 5350 , as it be on Comcast 's approve device list and have the requirement to meet we need . installation be very simple . I do not have a self-install kit from Comcast , so I just follow the direction for connect without a kit . I connect the coax cable to the modem , a supply Ethernet cable from the modem to my computer and everything else go very smoothly . I do not have to call Comcast with the MAC address , as everything be recognize during the install . all , in all installation take approx . 10 minute , very simple for anyone to accomplish . both my wireless laptop with b\/g wireless card -lrb- one on a second floor -rrb- find the network and connect without a problem after I enter the wap2 key . I may purchase Wireless-N card later , but I really do not see the need . speedtest show a average of 17 mpb for a wireless connection and 25 mbp for wire . I use the Ethernet port to wire my Blu-Ray player , Wii -lrb- I purchase a wii-lan converter -rrb- and a spare cable if I need to connect a laptop to stream Hulu or Comcast TV online to view through my hdtv . Netflix stream in hd when available -lrb- on Blu-Ray , Wii be only sd -rrb- and look and sound great . we get rid of we cable tv , and purchase the leaf attenna -lrb- see we review -rrb- from Mohu . so all we viewing on local channel -lrb- it find 35 of they -rrb- be free and in hd . if nothing be on that we want to view , we use Netflix , Hulu , or Comcast TV online . we be enjoy the savings , and now with the zoom faster speed , great picture quality as well . +455 CableModem POS 5 I decide to upgrade my modem as the old one be , well ... old . I receive the modem , hook it up , call the cable co -lrb- time Warner -rrb- and after a hour it be determine I get a bad one . I contact Amazon and be send a replacement -lrb- prop to Amazon , fast and no hassle -rrb- . this one work , and work very well ... so far . my upload\/download speed have almost double . so far it look like money well spend ... +423 CableModem POS 4 I have try both the sb6120 and the sb6121 and the signal level and speed be the same on both . the sb6121 be a little smaller than the sb6120 but run much warmer than the sb6120 . look like they try to cram too much hardware into too small of a space . my sb6121 do not come with the power save button -lrb- it be list as a optional feature -rrb- , so about the only difference between the two model be the design . both the sb6120 and the sb6121 use the same firmware : label sb612x . so unless you want the different look led light and a smaller and warmer box for a higher price , stay with the sb6120 . as far as speed be concern : the multiple channel bonding on these DOCSIS 3.0 modem be nice for sustained constant speed . it also make it easier for you isp to enforce the speed cap if they choose to do so -lrb- Comcast in my case do -rrb- . I be get 20 + Mbps down and 3 + mbp up on my old Linksys DOCSIS 2.0 modem , however that be the peak when the transfer first start , then it would taper off . the DOCSIS 3.0 modem stay right at the 12\/2 ceiling of my speed tier , but at least the speed stay right up there and do not drop off after a few seconds . +442 CableModem POS 5 Comcast user in ca . run a cable modem and a hd box off 1 co-ax in -lrb- set-up be cable in - to junction box - to cable modem out and cable box from tap -rrb- . I be have issue with several hd channel and I want to add another line so I could have 2 cable feed on my 60 '' screen -lrb- as in watch 2 football game -- yup -rrb- . I get this box -lrb- install before the junction box -rrb- along with the Audiovox dh24spr two way 2.4 Ghz Bi-Di Splitter -lrb- install on the co-ax from the tap - then to cable box + tv in -rrb- . result -- endzone ! the mess up channel be back on my hd box , my internet be just as crazy fast as it be before -lrb- maybe - maybe faster -rrb- , and I now can watch two channel at once on my tv with split screen . I be a techie guy and research everything well before buy , and this one be a hit . I recommend . +356 CableModem POS 4 not sure if self activation with comcast be browser specific , but I could not get it to pop up with ie . when I try to hit the web with Firefox , the page come right up and I go through the step and be back online in about 5 minute . I do not remember the page off the top of my head , but best to look it up before you do the modem swap with you account no. . after the swap though , I could not get to google 's site with either browser . if I hit it by IP address , it work fine . I research it and nothing be conclusive . but apparently there be some issue with the modem and comcast . I do not want to be on the phone with comcast forever or listen to finger printing , so I find a workaround and just add google 's IP address to my host file . change my dn server do not work . I be also get quick disconnect and reconnect from my chat program that be never happen before . but it have not affect my fast downloads\/uploads that I be aware of . and multiple packet testing show no lose . oh , forget to mention I do need to upgrade my old router too because I do not get any speed improvement initially . Make sure you get a gigabit router in order to utilize full potential . +194 CableModem POS 5 Got this modem and right away have the problem that ` niideep ' write in he review . I follow he advice exactly and within a few hour the modem be up and run flawlessly . the key be to hook it up to the cable and leave it alone for about 2 hour . that be what I do . I then have to wrestle with the Comcast activation page for about 45 minute but finally it take and walum , everything be fine . no drop in service at all . the Comcast tech guy be suppose to come and do this for I but I be glad I do it myself now because I think he would have give up have the modem not initialize right away which alot of time it will not . again , read ' niideep 's ' review and follow what he say . this be indeed a great modem . I initially pair this modem with the Mediabridge router you see everyone buying , but the range be not good enough for I so instead I get the Belkin 600 and that hook up very easily and have be great despite the so-so review . again , I think you can not go wrong with this Modem if you be patient . special thanks . to ` niideep ' for he great review and advice which get I through this process . +825 CableModem POS 5 Works great . no need to spend 80 $ at best buy whne you can spend 30 and get the exact same function . +169 CableModem POS 4 the Motorola sb6121 modem seem to be speed up my connection to the internet . I have only have it run for a few day but I immediately see a difference as soon as I connect it . Hope it continue to perform this well for a long time to come . +451 CableModem POS 5 I could not be happier about purchase this modem . follow in the tradition of previous Motorola surfboard be rock solid workhoarse this one be no exception . I experience no resetting problem , run nice and cool but I be only run on a 20mb service . after a month of ownership I can say the review of this product be acurate and I would not hesitate to purchase another or recomend this modem to friend and family . +97 CableModem POS 5 I buy this modem a couple of month ago , when Comcast send I a letter state that I need to upgrade to the DOCSIS 3.0 standard . I install and register it with Comcast use they self registration website . the process be fairly straight forward and I be now get download speed of around 25 mbp , and upload speed of around 4 mbp . so far , I be very satisfied , and would highly recommend this modem . +790 CableModem NEU 3 just a head up . I be not say this be good or bad , it be a modem and appear to work . however , if you be use to be able to connect to you internet modem -lrb- dsl or cable -rrb- and configure such thing as the private network address subnet , dhcp enable\/disable and address range , you can not do that with this modem . there be nothing to configure ; you plug it in and it do what it do . the web interface explain what it do , but you can not change it . something you should know go in ... +793 CableModem POS 5 we use cox for high speed internet and this modem give we great speed and reliability . since I install this modem we have not experience any issue with access the internet . +114 CableModem POS 4 I wish I have buy this modem year ago instead of pay Comcast more than $ 800 for a rental during that time . -lrb- ... -rrb- +907 CableModem NEG 1 pro : it be very easy to setup . con : after a couple of week usage , the speed drop so much that most of the time I be wait for the web page to load if not totally lose the signal . conclusion : this be the worst cable modem I ever use . do not buy it . +614 CableModem POS 4 this will be the third of this modem I have buy ... now the rental fee be look better , yeesh ! to explain - I live downtown in a small town -lrb- 17k -rrb- . last year we have terrible storm and crazy flooding which kill power to half of mainstreet . not my side of town , but we still get surge and flicker . I have not realize that the first modem be not plug into a surge protector at all . lightning storm , modem die , sad face . not a problem with the modem at all - when it be not fry , it work great ! buy this modem again , use it very reliably for a year , but more storm , move and a new apartment where Charter have to re-fish the cable through the wall because the old one have gash in it and be drop nearly 10 volt lower in signal than it should have be ... I think it fry the modem again . so , perhaps the modem \* could \* be a bit more resilient , but honestly , it be a piece of relatively sensitive electronics . I have to pay the price -lrb- again -rrb- for not be very careful with it . I use this couple with a Belkin Wireless 150N Router -lrb- f6d4230-4 -rrb- overall I be very pleased with this router , which be why I be buy it for the third time , along with the Belkin be112230-08 12-outlet Home\/Office Surge Protector with Telephone and Coaxial Protection I 'll post again if there be any other update . +382 CableModem POS 5 the modem be fast and a great alternative to rent one from the cable company . the set up be easy and it work right out of the box . +579 CableModem POS 5 before I make any tech gear purchase , I always do my research , include a careful review of comment on Amazon . I do this before decide on a new cable modem and be glad I choose the Linksys cm100 . I think the best thing that can be say for any cable modem be that it become transparent to the user -- no issue , no problem , no ongoing fiddle with setting try to get it to work . I be happy to say that the cm100 perform very well for I . I be a cox customer and have have very little trouble with this modem . I have have it about a year now , and only once or twice do I have to do the `` unplug-wait-replug '' action to clear some sort of a bottleneck . and the problem may have be completely unrelated to the modem itself . I do not demand or expect 100 percent perfection from anything , but the cm100 come very close to that standard for I . I would buy one again without hesitation . +392 CableModem POS 5 I switch from dsl to cable . I have a Linksy router and this modem plug in and work great . it do not overheat like the modem I have for dsl . another feature be a usb connection with cord for those want to connect this way . I be get up to 15 mb download from my Charter cable connection . so much more efficient then the dsl phone line connection which would have a slower rate in the evening . +152 CableModem POS 5 be have problem with people download movie on torrent web site , the company that provide internet service be crack down on illegal movie download . I receive notice from my company say that a movie have be download illegally , and i do want to take a chance of it happen again since no-one want to own up to do it . i get this with a netgear router and now i have those site block so they can not down load from they site . I find out they will be do that for music also and more company be go to start watch for this type of activity . Netgear give u more control that any of the other i have find and easy to set up , upon connact my cable carrier it be easy for they the activate . have be run great with no problem and no drop of signal . +81 CableModem POS 5 it do what it be suppose to do . I do get a sharper image on the tv . . as expect . +874 CableModem POS 5 I buy this Modem very recently from Amazon and i be very much pleased with it . if you have a comcast internet connection , this one fit perfectly and it be also list in Comcast 's approve Modem list . it do the job and i have not face any issue so far . if you be look for a upgrade to you older modem , this might be the one ... +545 CableModem POS 5 this Motorola bda-s1 be a excellent amplifier . I be use it with a digital hdtv antenna and be able to receive well over 20 channel perfectly . I would definitely purchase this product again . +72 CableModem NEU 3 the modem be easy to set up and it work well most of the time . I have trouble with it when I do video chat . I always lose the signal . +672 CableModem NEG 1 this review be two-part , first to Amazon as provider and second , to the product itself . note that the `` star rating '' be for the product and not for the provider of the product -lrb- in this case , Amazon -rrb- . this be a quick review , as I just want to let Amazon , and hopefully , motorollum about the product that I buy . Amazon : First of all , Amazon do a amazing job send and ship the product . it be very fast , ship the day i order it and arrive two day after . thanks Amazon !!! product : Motorola SURFboard sb6121 I purchase this against my gut feeling vs the older sibling sb6120 . while I understand that performance wise , it be -lrb- technically -rrb- similar . after read many review , and check spec , I find out that the sb6121 and sb6120 use the same firmware . however , what really entice I to get this be the fact that it be `` greener '' . however , I be extremely disappoint with the product . it come brand new , seal , with all the proper documentation and part . but the modem will not stay `` on '' and stable for more than 1 minute . the modem will boot up , sync for a few second and then will reboot again . my line be pretty clean , use my current Cisco DPC3000 cable modem , I get -1.2 db on downstream power , and 37 snr on downstream on all 4 channel , and with 49.5 db on upstream power . my Cisco modem be stable , no reboot nor reset , but I be pay $ 7\/mo so this have to go . unfortunately , Motorolla can not even stay still long enough for I to activate the modem at Comcast . the modem will boot up , and I 'll be able to load the Comcast activation page , and then it will suddenly reboot . I can not get past the page where I need to enter my account number because the modem would have reboot by then . call Comcast prove futile as well , as they say that they can not get anything useful from they monitoring end . while they see activity , it will quickly go out and that be because the modem keep reboot and loose sync . it may be a faulty power brick , or a faulty modem . either way , I do not like a faulty brand new equipment . I pay good money and I expect the product to perform as expect . contact Amazon for a replacement , here 's hope it will arrive as fast as the original order . if it fail again , I will not be waste Amazon 's stock anymore and just replace it with the older -lrb- and cheaper -rrb- sb6120 version . +620 CableModem POS 5 this product be easy to install and result in double my connection speed with Comcast . if you network be wireless , you may need a new wireless router in order to get the higher speed . I pair the Motorola sb6121 with Cisco Linksys ea3500 router because my old router be not compatible with the new modem . +836 CableModem NEG 1 no dice , try to get the modem to work with multiple Comcast tech . never could be recognize on there system despite be on the master list . +307 CableModem POS 5 unit have be work flawlessly with metrocast . call up to give they the MAC and be online in a few minute . no disconnect or weirdness so far . +507 CableModem POS 5 Planned to move into a new home with my sister and need to consider which modem to purchase . i want to start the move off right with save money on the internet bill by own my own modem as it would be my responsibility to take care of the bill each month . I carry out a little research on my own to make sure i get the most up to date and compatible modem for use with Charter . I go to my parent house to take a look at they modem but there be no brand name . they be indeed rent from Charter though . I google the device model and come to find out it be a Ambit now know as Ubee u10c018 which be a DOCSIS 2.0 modem . see as how 3.0 have greater speed and technology i decide i would go with a 3.0 modem . originally i be interested in the Motorola SB6120 surfboard because of the review and its compatibility with Comcast . i figure Charter and Comcast would probably support the same modem model . i actually couldnt find anything on the u10c035 be compatible with Charter on the internet for the longest time . it seem that all the answer come after i have make my final decision ; which be the U10C035 . also , this link set my decision in stone : -lrb- ... -rrb- under the DOCSIS 3.0 datum modem tab . if its on this list then its most likely support by Charter . this be my first choice because of everything that i have read about its performance , reliability , and speed -lrb- 171mbp max -rrb- but at $ 90 + for a use one i just couldnt afford it . i be sway because of the price . its holiday season so i be lean on my second and slower choice -lrb- 160mbp max -rrb- : Motorola SB6120 SURFboard eXtreme Broadband . thankfully i keep look . i happen to find a u10c035 at a pawn shop for $ 60 with everything include and it look to be in immaculate condition so i just have to get it . the Charter guy come out and install the cable to the house which take they 3 hour . but when it come to the internet and modem everything run smoothly . i already have the modem and router hook up for they . all they have to do be install & run the cord , plug the device in , and call Charter . it only take mintue then i be up and run hi-speed cable internet . i run the Cnet 's speedtest and be run at 30.97 mbp down and 2.99 mbp on the up-side . mind you i be only pay for Express tier @ 15mbp . we have 3 laptop , 1 xbox , 1 ps3 , 1 Wii , and 1 Netflix compatible Blueray player run on the Express Tier @ 15mbp . please note that all device arent active at the same time and i understand that with my select tier i wouldnt be utilize my modem full potential . i dont need ` screamin-bleed ' speed . this work out fine for my sister 's and i. for I i just want to stay current with technology 's ever change tempo . i didnt want to have to worry about upgrade if i have decide on a DOCSIS 2.0 modem instead ... apparently sometime next year Charter be come out with another speed increase . I know we 'll be up to par and be able to accept the increase without have to upgrade we equipment for some time now . +31 CableModem POS 5 this professional , durable booster work better than expect .

I still need to call Comcast - I do not think the problem be between I and the headend . the modem be about what I expect . nice appearance and size . do not get too hot . my only complaint be the blinking of the light on the front panel . once connect the only light that blink be the Ethernet light which blink steady to show any ethernet activity instead of on and off with the actual activity . my old Linksys modem blink the Ethernet and -lrb- cable -rrb- activity lead 's with activity so you have a better idea what it be do which be somewhat useful especially with sucky Comcast . +244 CableModem POS 5 the modem be run like a charm . i be glad i purchase this modem i be get a great connection speed now . +972 CableModem POS 4 Works better than the cable co supply modem and pay for itself in less than one year . have work well so far . +785 CableModem POS 5 I replace the modem I be rent from Comcast with the Motorola sb6121 a few week ago and it have work very well since . activation with the cable company take about 10 minute which be longer than the technician expect but this could have be due to the quality of my connection as much as it could have be due to the modem .

I have not notice significantly faster , or slower , datum rate since install . +962 CableModem POS 5 nice ! with Comcast Tech on the phone , it take less than 10 minute to get it right .

First of all this device should only be use for you tv service . do not amplify the modem line . you need to use the splitter to split one line to the modem and the other should feed the amplifier and the rest of you outlet . this amplifier will increase you modem upstream return level . read the print on the amplifier : rtn -lrb- return -rrb- -8 dbmv . you upstream power level will increase and you modem will have to work harder to communicate out . also it will sometimes decrease you upstream signal-to-noise ratio -lrb- snr -rrb- . the amplifier be not a do-it-all miracle device that will solve all of you problem . it simply amplify the incoming signal . it do not filter the noise . this mean you incoming signal need to be clean and at acceptable level before the amplifier . so if you have 4 or more tv -lrb- on average , but this may vary -rrb- you will most likely benefit from this purchase . if you have more than that you should buy the single port version -lrb- cheaper -rrb- and use a 8 way splitter . in fact if you buy a single port version and use a 4 way splitter you will get the same signal level . however if you have problem I strongly recommend call you local cable co and get a tech out . if you be a diy person , make sure you do some research first and use quality equipment -lrb- like this amplifier -rrb- , rg6 60 % braid shield or better cable -lrb- quad shield be better -rrb- , compression fitting -lrb- like PPC , Thomas & Betts -rrb- and not crimp fitting -lrb- do not apply pressure on the coax -rrb- , splitter that do not have glue on the back cover and be rate 5-1000 mhz . by invest more money and get quality equipment it will help you have trouble-free service and will most likely save you some money in the long run . PS if you can get a power inserter -lrb- it look like a regular splitter but it be not -rrb- you can use it to back feed the power on one line so you do not need to have a power outlet right next to the amplifier -lrb- make sure you connect it to the `` remote power '' -lrb- sometimes `` DC IN\/RF OUT '' -rrb- port on the amplifier -rrb- . +701 CableModem POS 5 I order 2 on Thursday 4\/22\/2010 , receive today -lrb- 4\/27\/2010 -rrb- . hook the first one up at 3PM , but could not get online so I call Charter Cable at about 5:30 . do not waste you time with the automated service , just ask for a agent . I waste 10-15 minute with the auto service . you 'll need to give the MAC Address to the agent -lrb- this be the second line on the bottom of the unit -rrb- . the first modem , that have be hook up since 3pm , work right away , but the second one do not . the reason be , I give the agent the MAC Address without have the unit hook up to the system first . I tell he this might be the problem , so I hook it up and sure enough , he re-enter the MAC number and it appear on he screen . now I have 2 modem for less than the price of one at best buy . also , they have a 90 day Warranty from Cisco-Linksys -lrb- almost all refurb I have ever see do -rrb- . the bottom of my invoice state `` Linksys offer a 90 day warranty on all they refurbish product . you may contact linksy with any warranty issue . in the event that Linksys can not help you , we will honor the term of the warrranty ! '' . Linksys sell this same item on they website -lrb- find it through Bizrate -rrb- . I have already buy it here for around the same price . if it die before 90 day be out , I 'll repost it . +177 CableModem POS 5 I be look to reduce my monthly cable\/internet bill at home so I cancel my modem rental from the cable company . I buy this , plug it in , and it just work . it be be about a year and I have not have to unplug it since I first power it on . it be also pay for itself already . stick it to the -lrb- cable -rrb- man ... cancel you cable modem rental and get one of these . +466 CableModem POS 5 just to help everyone out . the Motorola Surfboard sb 6121 be indeed compatible with Bright House Network service . I be run rr 7mbp down and 512 kbp up in Michigan . I recently purchase it from Amazon for $ 78 with Free Shipping : http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/motorola-sb6121-surfboard-docsis-cable\/dp\/b004xc6gj0 to get it work , do the following : unplug you exist modem -lrb- remove coax\/ethernet\/power -rrb- , and plug the new sb 6121 in . it will not be work at first , so you must call the BrightHouse Network number : 1-866-898-9101 and go through the automate menu prompt , request Internet Service support . you will eventually reach a human representative . you will hopefully get someone extremely friendly like I do , and tell they that you new Modem be not work . they will ask for the MAC number on the sb 6121 Box , which you will provide to they . they will then `` send '' a new signal to you modem , and within 2 minute it should be up and run . they will then tell you that you need to return you BHN modem , either by drop it off at a local center , or by have a BHN representative come and pick it up from you home for free . my ping drop by about 12millisecond and my speed have be much more consistent at around 6.87 mbp . the old modem be 10\/100mbps , and the new sb 6121 be 10\/100\/1000Mbps . my router be also Gigabit Ethernet , and I notice that my movie buffer time on Youtube significantly improve . good luck , hope this help ! +267 CableModem POS 5 Works as advertise .

I do not score any point for `` compatibility with Comcast '' since I do not use they as a provider . +762 CableModem POS 5 Motorola SB6121 be one of the best cable modem you can purchase . it be a little pricey compare to other option out there ; however , believe I , it be worth it -lrb- not to mention you save on the `` modem rental fee '' -rrb- . with Docsis 3.0 , it provide the best speed you can get from you cable provider . I be get double the speed I be promise -lrb- about 36 mbp -rrb- . setup be really easy . take it out of the box ; connect the coax cable , Ethernet jack and the power and that be it . the modem do its magic -lrb- it restart itself 3 time as it establish the connection -- I be a little scared but I think this be necessary for it to establish the correct speed -rrb- and I be connect to the internet in less than 5 minute . please note that this be my first time have internet service with my cable service provider -lrb- I hear that if you already have a modem and replace it , you need to call they and give they you new serial number and the MAC address , which can be find under the modem -rrb- . I have not have any problem so far . I be also extremely happy about its 1Gbps Ethernet port . I connect a Cisco ea4500 router for wireless connectivity . I need a Gigabit connection to get the most out of my wireless router and this modem provide it with ease . I would recommend this item to everyone look for a new modem . +978 CableModem NEU 3 I order the use Netgear cable modem so I do not have to keep pay the monthly Comcast lease charge . the modem arrive just five day after I order it via priority mail from California to my home in Massachusetts , which make I happy . but as soon as I receive the box I notice the contents be rattle around inside . to my surprise and alarm , there be no packing material in the box when I open it . you would think the seller would pack the modem carefully to prevent any damage in transit , especially since it be a use modem . I intend to install the modem later today and I be hope it work properly . to be continue ... well , despite the modem be on Comcast 's approve modem list , the tech could not get it to register with they system . I be go to try again tomorrow and ask for a higher tier technician . +974 CableModem NEG 1 it work find for 30 day and then suddenly fail without warning . I replace it with a Motorola cable modem . +254 CableModem POS 5 the cable modem arrive promptly in a well package box . it be almost a `` plug and play '' set up . all I have to do be to call my cable provider and give they the MAC address , from the lable on the bottom of the unit . just connect the cable and plug in to power , and I be up and run in less than 1 minute . the router have be run steadily since the first day , with no reboot need . this be a good value for the money . +76 CableModem POS 5 we have be use cable splitter before and most of we tv have very poor reception and grainy picture & some do not get any reception at all ! now , all we tv have excellent reception and better picture . it really boost !!! +334 CableModem NEG 1 this modem be not good for comcast user . since I switch it this modem , I have so many problem with slow internet speed , and drop connection everyday . do not buy this if you be comcast user !! +500 CableModem POS 5 installation be easy and after the provider update the MAC code , it work . take some time for it to sync-up . be patient . the down load and up load time do improve , however since I be use a dos2 .0 modem previously the improvement be small . hopefully this will increase as improvement to the cable system be make . +532 CableModem POS 5 it be simple to connect and take only minute . have be use it for the past month and have absolutely no complaint . by purchase this modem , instead of rent the cable commpany , it will save I money . the longer I use it the more I save . there have be no problem with the connection whatsoever . I highly recommend this modem . +34 CableModem POS 5 I live in pg county md with Comcast and this be the same modem that Comcast rent out . out of all the Docsis 3 modem , this one be the best in my opinion . the Motorola do not work with Comcast in PG county after many day of try . the zoom work fine but when restart take a long time to load up . this one be a bit more expensive but be fast and work great . I would recommend and buy this again for anyone of my customer . I fix computer for a living ... . +163 CableModem POS 4 read a lot of bad review on the product , so be tentative about the piece . Mine at least seem to be work fine since installation . check that netspeed be same as the one install by comcast . +829 CableModem NEG 1 I buy the item from SSDEALS , receive in about a week time . set it up and call my isp to have it activate with they . while on the phone , this modem crash the entire node because it be `` flap '' several time a min . -lrb- request a IP then go offline imeditatly and cause a DOS in the node -rrb- I take it offline and have to set a static IP on my computer to even access the webguus -lrb- it would not even establish a dhcp on the Ethernet side either ! -rrb- accord to the log it be give a tftp error . configuration file NOT FOUND . so I send it back for a refund . since Staples be sell it for the same price , I just go to they and it work right out of the box and all I have to do be give my isp the MAC address and it be up and run before I get off the phone with they . apparently these be not test before they be send out . +668 CableModem POS 5 as usual the company in PHX be behind the time , I purchase this to use in Phoenix but of course they would not support it , only a older version so of course I have to return it . sorry amazon and ubee , not you fault , but as usual Amazon have awesome return make easy . +283 CableModem NEU 3 to all you naysayer , let start here : this be purchase for use on Comcast . yes , Comcast currently have this very modem on they `` approve '' list ; yes , I do my homework ; yes , I be smarter than a rock ; and yes , Motorola should have do more to insure they product work reliably on such a major provider system . this modem refuse to provision on the network , simple as that . Comcast could see the modem , ping it and send the provision information ... the MODEM refuse it . so do the second modem . I be a big fan of Motorola product but this be disappointing . also , the HFC MAC seem to be all wrong . most mac start 00 and these be start with 74 . I do not know if that contribute to the problem or not though . +842 CableModem POS 4 I be look to save on some month to month modem rental fee from the cable company and after read the review , decide on this model . I use Comcast and be a little concerned about what I have read when it come to set up this modem with this provider . it be good that I be prepare for some hiccup because you probabaly will run into some . Stay patient ! I start by plug the coaxial cable into the modem , then the power cord , then ethernet into the modem and finally into the computer . click on ie and the comcast set up page initiate . so far so good . I input my #s , hit submit and here 's where the aggrevation begin . it seem like it be progress and then the connection seem to freeze and the modem power down . I attempt to repeat again and again but I do not seem to make any progress until I would completely unplug the modem and basically start from scratch . I then would get to the next Comcast setup screen but would have to power down again , and again . eventually , you will make it through it and once you do , you will have some pretty fast internet . I be speed along at 25 mbp . I want to stress here that I feel that the setup hangup be definitely more Comcast related as other 's have claim . the biggest and only negative so far be the fact that this modem only have one ethernet outlet which can hinder the set up of a home wifus . you may need tech support for you router . I couple mine with a Belkin n150 and after have a 15 minute conversation with the tech -lrb- would have be 10 min . if I could understand she english ! -rrb- , have my household internet rolling . as I mention , be patient and you will be more than happy with this modem . well worth the money . +502 CableModem POS 5 I use it to replace a lease comcast motorolum 5121 . the 5121 be give I 10mbps down\/0 .10 mbp up . after switch to the sb6121 , I now get 20 mbp down and 6 mbp up , which be the speed tier I be pay for + I do not have to pay comcast modem lease fee anymore . the speed measurement be do multiple time use speedtest.net . the installation be easy , have to get on the phone with a comcast tech to get the new modem enable , after that the modem work fine . UPDATE Sep 14 , 2012 . it be be a year since I have be use this . it be still go strong and work fine . I have add a manual timer to it so that the modem be reboot every weekend . +831 CableModem POS 5 my old modem be a Linksys CM100 Docsis 2.0 I be have constant connection drop during peak time , so I buy this modem to see if a newer Docsis 3.0 modem would relieve that . I have not have a drop connection since hook it up . I also gain a small amount of speed use this . old modem get I 19mb down on avg and this one have I around 22-24 on avg . heat - with my old one I could set my toe on it and keep em warm in the winter , this one well vent and stay cool . +472 CableModem POS 5 work like a charm right out of the box with Comcast , no setup require . the only gotcha be with my AirPort Extreme , just make sure you turn the modem off before plug it in because the modem cache the MAC address of the last device it be plug into . +210 CableModem POS 4 Took Comcast about 2 hour to install , over the phone , late August 17 , 2012 . laptop gigabit controller would not properly recognize modem and would run only at 10 mb instead of 1000 . use a Dell XPS l511z to connect to modem . when I hook the laptop up before call Comcast the LAN would run at 1000 mb . Comcast could not get the lan to run over 10 , so they suggest try another computer . use a older xp m140 laptop purchase 6 year ago but run Windows 7 and it work at its network card 's max rate , 100 mb . restart modem and then hook it to Netgear router -lrb- 100 mb WAN input -rrb- and it seem to work fine with wire lan run at 100 mb , but the internet do go out unexpectedly once but start right up when I reset the router , but not the modem . the modem show it be get a internet connection , but the router show no internet connection . have Comcast blast -lrb- advertise here in dc metro area at 50 down\/10 up -rrb- . Got letter from Comcast recommend upgrade to 3.0 modem and this modem get they 3 star test and be recommend . previous modem Motorola SB5101 work fine and be 5 year old , but its download max be about 38 and sometimes just over 40 , but speed vary a lot and it be never consistent . upload be usually less than 4 . with sb6121 , speed be consistently 52 download and 10 upload . wifus download be about half the wire rate when the laptop be close to router , use Netgear usb 72 mb wireless . wifus upload be 10 . it seem to be work well . +14 CableModem POS 5 this modem be great . I get a average of 36mbit down and 6mbit up with Comcast blast . on my old modem I get around 15mbit down and 3-4mbit up +590 CableModem POS 5 make the jump to light speed with this modem and what a difference . have a problem get up and run and I think that be because the Comcast software only give you the choice of they modem to install with . have to call they twice . second time it be a snap to get go . use Netflix with my AT&T; dsl take forever to load . clarity be not great either . with my Cable dsl through this modem it movie start almost immediately and the clarity be HD quality . best yet , I be not spend $ 5 per month to lease they cable modem ! if I have to do all over again I would get up and run use the Cable company modem then switch the next day . +493 CableModem POS 5 after Comcast jack up the rate on the modem rental by more than 40 % I purchase the cm100 . the Linksys cm100 be easy to install and I have have no problem since the initial setup . the modem provide by Comcast have to be reset every few week . I have not have to reset the cm100 in more than a month . get out from under the Cable company thumb and buy you own cable modem . it only take a short call to you cable provider and a few month and this product will pay for it be self . you will not regret this purchase ! +438 CableModem POS 5 I order this so I do not have to rent a modem from Comcast . I have have it run for a few week at this point , and it be be work very well with no hiccup at all . at first I have some trouble set the modem up , but then I discover that Comcast 's activation portal be not properly load on my 4-year old MacBook , but it work quickly and painlessly as soon as I plug it into my 4-month old Windows machine . since I activate it , everything have run smoothly . +32 CableModem POS 5 Modem be compact fast and do what it be suppose to do . worked right out of the box with no problem and be very easy to hook up . +584 CableModem POS 5 really not much to say , hook it up to the cable and the router , plug it in , give my cable company the MAC address and everything work as advertise . buy this to replace my ancient Motorola sb5100 that be still work perfectly but the cable company encourage everyone to switch to DOCSIS 3.0 to take advantage of future speed increase . completely seamless transition from the old hardware , no problem with NAT , etc. . pro : idiot-proof set-up and hopefully -lrb- if like my old one -rrb- rock solid reliability . con : none that I can think of . diff --git a/train/Dumbbell.txt b/train/Dumbbell.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..793d87ecd7b1fec5529ec3a0c62a1a03f3a6da50 --- /dev/null +++ b/train/Dumbbell.txt @@ -0,0 +1,701 @@ +740 Dumbbell NEG 1 if you want result just lift with great form and increase you weight accordinly ... DO NOT give in to THIS MISCONCEPTION !!!! this do nothing to help contract and relax you muscle = that be where you be go to get `` muscle definition '' . +859 Dumbbell POS 5 the video do look a little funny , but I decide to try it anyway . pro : 1 . it give a quick intense workout in 6 minute . it be very tiring . on my first try , I could not complete the 6 minute because my muscle give in . I be able to complete the 6 minute after 1 week of use it . so I know I be get stronger . 2 . it be a space saver . it do not use up the space as many dumbbell . you can just kick it under the bed . 3 . the price point be very good . very affordable . 4 . many possible exercise so you body do not get too accustomed to a routine . con : 1 . it do not directly hit my ab . it do it indirectly by use you core muscle . Summary : best bang for the buck workout equipment . if you do not mind the suggestive movement , you will get a quick great workout . +933 Dumbbell POS 5 by far one of the best exercise equipment investment I have make . the review other have write speak for this product . the only complaint I have and it be more of a nit-picking , be the metal can make a clank sound from hit together when perform various lift . however , the clank sound be definitely not loud or distracting . I have use these dumbbell through 6 round of p90x and they still perform & look like day 1 . the label on top & plastic color label to slide the pin in be still like day 1 show no sign of peel , crack , or discoloration . the actual pin & elastic string that hold the plate in place be both hold up like day 1 . I have never have a pin even slip or even budge from hold the plate . I know they will last forever therefore will be purchase a nice stand to keep they at a better height for r&r; . +607 Dumbbell POS 5 I have be do p90x for almost two year now ... -lrb- more for maintenance now -rrb- ... and thus I have a bunch of dumbbell of the free plate screw on variety -lrb- so I can adjust the weight on my set and also have many different weight ready to go for workout -rrb- . most rack seem to reference molded dumbbell more than the kind I have so I be a little nervous as to whether this would really work for mine -lrb- not see any review discuss my style of dumbbell explicitly -rrb- . the product description say this rack will work for all type but still I be not 100 % confident thing would work and fear find the weight would just miss the spacing this rack give for they . well ... it do work ... perfectly . it be so much better than have the weight on the floor or on the couch as I have be do in recent year . I should have buy this rack a few year ago ! it be a breeze to set up , basically 5 minute plus the time it take to screw in 12 bolt -lrb- which do take a little longer than you would think it would , but be certainly a reasonable amount of time -rrb- . the assembly could be do with no instruction because it be as straightforward as it get . the shipping box get a good beating from UPS during delivery -lrb- include some hole in the box and some patchwork taping ... it look like it go through a war zone ... but the product itself be in great shape with no ding or scratch -rrb- . as someone else point out the bolt and nut seem to now be shrinkwrap to a piece of cardboard so that the piece stay together and there would be little risk of this hardware be lose even with careless shipping -lrb- as UPS seem to provide in my case -rrb- . the rack itself be very sturdy and rugged and look quite sharp ... I do not know why anyone would want to pay for one of the other rack that cost $ 100 or so more as they could not possibly be better . this be everything you need in a dumbbell rack . +443 Dumbbell NEG 1 this be not a set I just assume it be , which be my fault but instead of order another from this company I will give my money elsewhere as I feel this be intentionally misleading and I be tired of company take advantage of people . +711 Dumbbell POS 5 Ok , here be the truth as I have no agenda to either endorse or kill this product : I allow myself to get a bit out of shape and as I have finally turn the corner and make marked improvement in my diet and physique , I notice that my upper arm be flabby , and I allow they to become weak . I be skeptical of this product , but I decide to give it a try . when I do the first 6 minute workout , I manage to breeze through it , and I foolishly believe I be in better shape than I think . the next day however prove I wrong , as I find the repetition of the routine actually become harder . I also discover that I do indeed have a weak arm which could not match the other . I feel the burn and fatique after the 6 minute exercise program each time I do it . but then , by week three , I find myself do the 6 minute program 2 or 3 time a day , and though I be still not breeze through it as I do on day 1 , I be manage to complete the entire program . I also be do some add rep on my weak arm and I have manage to balance the two . now , after a month I be not go to say that I be suddenly rip , of course not , but I do notice something . at a moment when I be simply soap my upper arm , I discoverd that they be more `` solid '' and `` tight '' than they be a few short week prior . Let 's face it , you know you own body , so when you discover a change , without even consciously look for one , you become a bit startled . well , I be , and realize that there be some definite toning to my arm . I be also move the shake weight harder than I be thus increase my strength , and try new routine . so , have the product now for about two month , i continue my three 6 minute a day routine and be feel much better do it . I have find that it be a great motivator and one of the few weight regimen that be not boring . after all , if you can not spare at least 6 minute of you day do this program , then what do you want to do ? highly recommend ... ... . +446 Dumbbell POS 4 first , to be clear , this be not a replacement for a normal total body workout . this will not replace weight or body weight exercise . it be , however , a essential piece of equipment for anyone who be serious about fitness . I be not kid , read on . first , let I qualify myself . I be 23 , 6 ' 2 '' , 190lb , ~ 10 % body fat . I work out a fair amount because I enjoy it . I have be a body weight guy my whole life : pullup , pushup , situp , and run . in the last two year I have incorporate a olympic routine once a week for my lower body and a basic upper body weight routine once a week . normally , at the end of either a pushup\/pullup routine or a upper body weight routine I do what be call `` flutter '' -lrb- google it -rrb- to really make sure that my muscle be throughly fry . normally , this would consist of do a lot of minus pushup or pullup -lrb- ~ 1 '' range of motion -rrb- , maybe 100 reps. here be where the shake weight come in . I still do my flutter but now I add a four minute session with the shake weight . I do one minute on each arm , one minute in front of my chest , and one minute above my head -lrb- watch the video on youtube to see what I be talk about -rrb- . by the end I be totally fry . I have be use it for about a week now so I can not say anything definitive about result but I be sure it will help I progress . in summary , the Shake Weight be a excellent supplemental tool for anyone who be serious about fitness . +840 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy this item because the physics of it make complete sense to I . I just finish my second time use the shake weight . the first time be right after I open it , and I try the various workout show . it be not too bad . the second time I use it after my daily routine consist of ab work out , push up , dip and pull up . it usually take I 5-10 minute . once I finish , it be 3:56 . I decide to wait until 3:57 so that I could time myself for one minute . I have never want 3:58 to come so badly . it burn not only in my arm but in my ab as well . if use on its own it may not be as effective , however it be a great finishing touch on my workout today . P.S. . you have to be SUPER FRAIL to use the women product . it be half the weight of the man 's . man will build muscle and in turn need to move up in weight . buy the man 's version . +511 Dumbbell POS 5 like a lot of people here , I see this darn thing on tv and have to check it out . I think two main thing potential buyer want to know be a -rrb- be it junk , and b -rrb- do the darn thing work ? first , `` be it junk ? '' no , it be not a cheapo piece of exercise equipment that will fall apart the first time you drop it . it be actually make of a hard plastic , with metal end . so no , it be not a piece of junk , but rather a pretty sturdy dumbbell . will it last for year ? probably . also of note : the dumbbell do NOT have a motor , run on battery , or shake by itself - that be you job and how you get exercise use it . next up , `` do it work ? '' well , first you have to define `` work '' , which will depend on you fitness goal . if you be look to bulk up you arm , and really pack on the muscle , do not expect one five-pound dumbbell to make you look like the incredible hulk , or the guy in the commercial . it simply will not `` work '' for that purpose . -lrb- suggest smokin ' hot gun !! : how a average Guy can get Big , muscular arm in one workout a week instead , what it will most definitely do be provide exercise for you arm -lrb- and other muscle -rrb- , maybe add a little muscle if you be really out of shape , and tone they up . for these purpose , I would have to say that it do indeed `` work '' . I think most anyone who pick this thing up and shake it non-stop for 6 minute would have to admit they feel like they arm have get a little exercise in . sooo , if you be not look to get huge arm , but rather some decent exercise and arm toning - check it out , I do not think you 'll be disappoint . +105 Dumbbell POS 5 I really enjoy this thing ! grant , this exercise could be do without the shake weight , but it be fun to have a prop to help with the shakin ' . be careful though to get use to the weight , and ease you muscle into it before diving into the dvd routine . ; -rrb- +662 Dumbbell NEG 2 packaging be fall apart when the item be receive . the long bar be clearly use prior as the sticker be wear off and it do not stay together properly . weight and dumbbell bar be in good condition and the clip to hold the weight work well . +654 Dumbbell POS 5 these be great for any home gym . they be very easy to use . do not be put off by the blocky look ; they be comfortable to the hand and no more cumbersome than any dumbbell . they be compact and store easily and take up much less space and budget than a conventional dumbbell set . for a beginner , they can be a big part of you home gym - you do not need thousand of dollar of specialized equipment to get start . I highly recommend get the storage stand or tray - make they easy to handle and store . +86 Dumbbell POS 5 I be concern when I read a few review talk about how difficult it be to assemble this stand . have now complete the assembly , let I just say that this be one of the simplest kit to assemble that I have ever see -lrb- I be compare to thing like Ikea furniture and whatnot -rrb- . just follow the instruction -lrb- e.g. , do not tighten the bolt fully until you have everything together -rrb- . seriously , this thing be dead simple to put together . the bolt be a little tight , but should be a piece of cake for someone who use the 1090 dumbbell -lrb- I have the 552 -rrb- . all you need be the include Allen wrench and a sturdy , ratchet socket wrench . this be a great , sturdy stand . exactly what I be look for . +399 Dumbbell POS 5 so many mixed review , but i actually enjoy the workout . it be fun , n my husband like to watch I do it hahaha . we still giggle sometimes , but whatever , it be a fun moment , we laugh , and i be tone my arm . I feel my favorite sweatshirt be not so tight in the upper arm area . BTW , it be common sense to eat healthy , drink plenty of water and do other exercise -lrb- cardio ! -rrb- . if I only do THIS i doubt i would see any result . +231 Dumbbell POS 5 I travel for a living . I miss my weight at home and not all hotel offer a good exercise room . I purchase the Shake Weight because of it be size , weight and portability , but really do not think it would be all that effective . now the Shake Weight have become my favorite exercise . after use it on the road a few day I notice I could increase my rep or weight on my set at home . muscle definition become apparent after a few week . so I use the shake weight every time I exercise . it be my warm up before my weight training and my primary exercise on the road . my only wish be if they make something that effective for the lower body as well . if you be very much out of shape and overweight , I would suggest weight loss before any exercise program . I lose over 70 pound before get serious about the exercise . how ? see -lrb- ... -rrb- +462 Dumbbell POS 4 Ok so I find mine at target , i be a woman and I buy the men one , I do not purchase to reduce arm flab I actually purchase to increase endurance\/stamina\/strength in the arm and shoulder as I be a Echocardiographer , basically what that mean be a ultrasound tech that scan the heart , and you guess it ... I have to scan under heavy obese breast ... to get to the heart and no the patient can not always hold they own up they might be unconscious , and anyone that be have one know that we have to push hard between rib pace for extended period to get image -lrb- while hold up those boob with the same arm -rrb- I be a new grad and boy be I in for a surprise at how weak I be !!!!!!!!!!! I can not endure more than 10 minute and not push hard means crappy picture which mean angry cardiologist and we have to do 10 a day for 30 minute each ... yike !! this be my answer . I get the men one because those boob usually weigh more than the female version and I be try to create endurance with that add weight like I say . I have do it two day now and my shoulder , biceps , triceps , pectoral , trap and lat all ache !!! whether or not the flab go anywhere this be definately a good workout for what I need . +106 Dumbbell POS 5 this be just what my husband need ! no more bend over to heft the weight up off of the floor . the stand be easy to put together , unlike some of the review I have read prior to purchase . I 'll have to guess that bowflex hear enough bad review of the instruction to re-write they . that be say , my husband simply look at the diagram and do not read any of the instruction , anyway . he be not a super handy man , so this be say a lot . he love it , I love that he be safer . two thumb up ! +948 Dumbbell POS 5 very happy with these hand weight . the color of the weight I receive differ from the picture - I have pink , blue , and purple . nice grip and plastic stand be easy to put together . +530 Dumbbell POS 5 im not gonna lie i feel kind lame for get the shake weight but its be about 3 week and im already see a good change on my arm , im not say im supper buff but i see a pretty good change and its only be 3 week so im pretty happpy with the shake weight +201 Dumbbell NEG 1 I be very excite to try the Shake Weight after read the review when it work for people . I try both the 6 minute video and simply shake it , as long as I could go , and unfortunately I do not see result . while I be do the exercise I could `` feel '' it , but I never actually see result . which be a real bummer , because I commit to the six minute video every day . I decide to stop when I do not see a difference and because , like someone else mention in they review , the shoulder action give I serious pain . as soon as I stop use the Shake Weight , the pain go away . though it do not give I the result I want , I really hope it work for you . +469 Dumbbell NEG 2 I do not like it . it be not as it appear I really thouht the weight move by itself . I can do the same thing with my regular hand weight +643 Dumbbell POS 5 this exercise equipment be everything you expect they to be . everyone in my family use they . no complaint . my wife and son , put this together for I before I get home from work . we be very pleased with they . +274 Dumbbell NEU 3 I buy this to workout one of my problem area , my arm ! it seem to work pretty good once use twice a day , but it be not challenge enough for I . it seem that once I get use to it , it be too easy to use . it be good for people that be not use to do a lot of arm strengthe exercise . a good beginner for arm ! +890 Dumbbell POS 5 theres so many joke about this thing that why its so big in the market give it a good rating cause it work like it should if you use it right . for the people who work out use it to warm up then regular work out in between rep use the shake weight wooooww what a difference it will make to you body !!!! +941 Dumbbell POS 5 I be a 59 year old woman and I be not sure if I would like they but go ahead anyway . I just love they , they be great and I have no regret whatsoever . I would recommend they to anybody . there be a 15 year warrenty on they . I usually workout on a bowflex but these feel like I have do a much better workout . I buy the rack too and I think it be a plus . with the rack the dumbbell be at just the right angle to get a good grip and it be much easier to set the weight desire . I be afraid they would clank together and make a lot of noise but they do not . they feel like solid weight , nothing move like some dummbell I have try before . it be very easy and fast to select the weight desire . I only wish I have buy these before my bowflex gym . I like my bowflex but it do take a lot of room . a set of powerblock and a bench would be all I need to keep in shape . oh well live and learn . +682 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy the stand with my selecttech 552 dumbbell and be glad I do . it keep the dumbbell off the floor , be much neater and keep I from trip over they if they be on the floor . it be also much easier than have to lift from the floor . the construction be rock solid and of very good design . if you have the SelectTech dumbbell , I would highly recommend the stand . +509 Dumbbell POS 5 the apex dumbbell rack look great . it be very sturdy and well build . I be very happy with this purchase and would recommend this product to everyone who be look for a dumbbell rack for they home gym . it look great in we home gym . +347 Dumbbell POS 4 first the stand be necessary addition to the Selectech weight . it be attractive and useful . the direction be poorly write but the picture will guide you properly . the bolt be very difficult to screw in use the tool so have a socket set -lrb- socket must be deep -rrb- and good hex wrench available and you should have no problem . +669 Dumbbell NEG 1 we buy a pair of the 8 lb weight . in we workout room , we set the weight on a ledge that be paint . we have two other set of neoprene weight that we buy from target a couple year back and have no problem do this . these weight stick to the paint and pull it right off the ledge . so we put a mat under they . next ... they stick to the wall when they get too close . luckily we have more paint to touch everything up . +504 Dumbbell NEU 3 I think the purchase be for a pair -lrb- 2 weight -rrb- !! bottom line : it be too expensive for just one dumbell compare to a local sport store -lrb- where I have previously purchase 5 # neoprene weight -rrb- . also the 2nd one be a slightly different color . not a big deal , but annoy . it be a pretty self-explanatory product ... neoprene dumbell . bc it be neoprene , it have a nice grip and protect the weight . +906 Dumbbell POS 5 buy this to compliment the 552 I already have . upon unwrap , I notice some minor scratch on some of the part , but not a big deal . installation be easy and straight forward use a socket wrench along with the supply allen wrench . installation take about 45 min include unboxing . once complete , the stand feel rock solid with no play at all . it come with lockable caster wheel which I do not install , but definitively useful if you find the need to roll it out of the way . recommend to anyone with a set of 552 or 1090 dumbbell . +305 Dumbbell NEG 2 the shipping for this item be quick which I always appreciate . however , the product itself be a waste . I think I would really enjoy use this dumbbell , but I just do not . I feel like I could have do the same excercise with a regular dumbbell or any item with a little weight on it . this be a complete disappointment . believe I , I try to convince myself that this thing be work and worth invest in , but in the end , it be just ... nothing . +262 Dumbbell POS 5 I be unsure about purchase this product because of review and other comment . I go ahead and take a leap of faith . glad I do , this really work if you use it correctly . there be a lot of confusion out there that this item run on battery power ... this be not true !! you have to use you energy and muscle to make this work . it take awhile to work up to the full 6 minute , dont give up . I start out in 30 second interval until I could work myself up to minute . I could tell a difference in my arm within a couple week ... still have a while to go but between this item and the resistance band I feel like I be get a really nice workout on my arm . +812 Dumbbell POS 5 save space , make the weight far easier to access , and look nice . this ultimately be just a stand with a towel rack \* cough bar across the middle cough \* but it be well think out , the angle which it have you weight make pick they up less strenuous on you back and arm . I feel if you be get the Selecttech 's you should make sure you order the stand to go along with they . the wheel be a nice touch as I have mine on a hard floor and be able to roll it around make get they out of the way when I be do work out a snap . +652 Dumbbell POS 4 I get my set of Bowflex SelectTech dumbbell on sale before and think to get this stand when it be on sale . I do not realize it be such a back saver until I get the stand . very solid build and do not have any problem except the hold area do not fit the dumbbell set base perfectly . maybe it be just my set but since there be a tie down to the dumbbell set I be really worry about it . Free shipping on amazon be great ! +741 Dumbbell POS 4 I get these about two week ago and they arrive in perfect condition . the weight selector be not exactly what I think it would be -lrb- its just a piece of plastic hold in place by a elastic band -rrb- but they work . it do not feel cheap , and they look nice . I cant complain really these be the best weight you can get for $ 200 or so . the actual weight be enough that with some repetition you can get definition in you arm and shoulder -lrb- at least for I , 25 year old , slightly smaller 150lb dude . I would recommend these as the best value for the money . +122 Dumbbell POS 5 feel great in you hand , as well . it be a excellent product . I have purchase a 20 lb weight of this brand over 10 year ago and it still be one of my favorite . +751 Dumbbell POS 5 First off -- kudos on shipping . order it Sunday night through my Amazon prime account and the free standard shipping get I the rack by Tuesday midday . it be also well package . the rack itself be a great value at $ 99 \/ free shipping . I have a hodgepodge of dumbbell , include hex , pro-style , and dumbbell bar + standard plate -lrb- about 9 set in total range from 5-45 -rrb- , and it fit they all fine . I think it would be much better suit to a set of just standard hex , but it work well for my need . it also feel very sturdy and be easy to put together -lrb- ~ 10-15 minute -rrb- . I definitely plan to get another one as my dumbbell collection increase . I plan to submit a photo too if you want to see how the hodgepodge fit on there . one note -- I notice somewhat of a chemical smell when first put it together , but later determine it to be the packaging as it have dissipate once I get rid of it . +275 Dumbbell POS 5 I have a whole set of these , from 10 pounder to 45 pounder . they be a great fitness aid , as they be immensely portable and can be use in any room of the house , while watch tv , or next to you computer desk . there be a wealth of exercise one can do with simple dumbell : curl , bent rowing , overhead extension , etc. . if you have a bench , there be even more . believe it or not , a home body builder can get a pretty decent workout from a limited set of these dumbell . they be relatively cheap compare to other brand . I recommend they . Jim `` Konedog '' Koenig +846 Dumbbell POS 5 very nice dumbbell I order a set of 60 # and I be just thrill with they ! I be go to be use they to walk up and down my stair I have at home . should be wonderful for my leg ! +477 Dumbbell POS 5 I love the size of it as i can store it just about anywhere and yet be able to lift weight anywhere from 6-24 pound . the only problem with it as other have mention be that you might mess up get the pin in straight to adjust the weight but it be easy to figure out when u have mess it up . another annoying thing about the dumbbell set be while ur work out the plate hit each other and u hear a annoying clunk sound +321 Dumbbell NEU 3 I have use this 3 time a week since i have buy it , up until recently . it work pretty good , i can really feel it in my arm -lrb- `` good burn '' -rrb- although i havent see much of a change , in the excess `` flab '' on my arm . the only thing be i havent be able to use it for about a week now due to it take a toll on you shoulder . i hurt mine do the behind the head thing . as long as you jus due it in front of you its ok . im glad i end up buy it throw amazon vs. when it be as see on tv . +841 Dumbbell POS 5 love how balanced these weight be not to mention the ease of change from one wight to another . I be just get back into lift so it will definitely be a while before i come close to out grow these . I be just thrill to have a easy way of work out at home nice and convenient . +880 Dumbbell POS 4 price be not great relative to store as many have comment , but I live in a small town hour from a good sport store . I buy these because the price be better than most of what be available online . good selection of weight and overall , good dumbbell . +158 Dumbbell POS 5 I do not know if i should buy it , i think it be Wack but i give it a chance and little do i know it work crazy good , it be worth every penny , it be a fast work out that work , just give it a try trust you 'll like . +218 Dumbbell POS 5 great instruction , easy to use even for this 70 year old , will be use regularly +811 Dumbbell POS 5 purchase two of these to use while walking\/running on my treadmill . want to work out my arm at the same time I do cardio . Thought it would be a good way to burn more calorie and firm up my arm a bit at the same time . I have no problem grip they due the neoprene coating so they stay in my hand nice and tight , even when you sweat ! I have drop they to the floor several time and the neoprene do not come off so the quality be top notch . they be small and easy to store so they do not take up much space -lrb- I put mine in the cup holder on my treadmill -rrb- . I recommend this product to all . +964 Dumbbell NEG 1 I buy the set , because my trainer have the elite set , which I like . I receive the set damage - plastic be break and plate be off on one of the block . fortunately , Amazon take the set back ; however , I do try the block that be not damage , and it do not feel as sturdy as the elite set . I be surprised especially with all its great review . I end up reordering the 45 lb set instead . +499 Dumbbell POS 5 really great product . I buy both the men and lady dumbbell . notice a difference in about a week and a half . I have to use the lady dumbbell for the left arm exercise for about the first week , good that I buy they both . it have be all uphill from there . these work !!! almost forget , buy the lady for my wife , she love it . +51 Dumbbell POS 5 my husband buy these for I , and they be great . I mean , what else do you expect from 5-lb dumbbell ? they work for I ! +464 Dumbbell POS 5 the powerblock be very well design and function quite well . I recommend they to anyone try to build a home gym or someone who just want to do some exercise at home . +494 Dumbbell POS 5 not much to say really , its a dumbbell - great for the home if you have the space , and I would definitely recommend get a rack if you buy a bunch of they . as dumbbell go , these be some of my favorite . they be very well make , and will not chip or crack - very sturdy . and even if the paint come off the number , the number be raise so there will not ever be any confusion as to what weigh what . I personally like use the hex shape the best . why ? well , two reason . for one , when I raise hex dumbbell over my head to do press or flye , I seem to be able to balance they better , although I know there be probably no `` physics '' reason for this , probably all in my head . secondly , when I be do flye or overhead press with dumbbell that have large diameter plate , and they touch in the top position , the edge of the plate can hit each other funny and make you dumbbell tip awkwardly - which never happen with the hex dumbbell due to they round shape . but I be rambling . if you be look for single dumbbell , these be a good choice and might be the last one you 'll ever need ! also recommend smokin ' hot gun !! : how a average Guy can get Big , muscular arm in one workout a week +877 Dumbbell POS 5 this be a nice dumbell rack . it be easy to assemble and look nice . appear to be extremely well build and a real good value . I see it in person at a Sports Authority . one thing I like about the offset tier be that it be easier to get the dumbbell in and out . do not add a lot to the depth , but it make a big difference . very pleased . +650 Dumbbell POS 5 if you buy this set of dumbbell , one set be all you need . Works well with the table . +336 Dumbbell POS 5 the SelectTech stand be very useful , and worth the price . the SelectTech 1090 's can be use without the stand , but the stand put they at the optimal height for lift-off of the base , particularly when lift heavier ... the wheel be also very convenient to be able to push the whole system out of the way when need . +112 Dumbbell POS 5 I be look for a dumbbell rack that would fit in we bedroom and not be obtrusive . this item look good so I decide to use a $ 100 Amazon gift card to hold my set of dumbbell I have accumulate over time . the package come via UPS . it be well package . after open it and look at the instruction , it take about 15 minute to assemble with a socket wrench . it be simple to put together . I really like the size and color . it have a elegant finish , not the raw steel look you see in most gym . the most important thing for I be that it fit all of my dumbbell . after try this out and switch weight around for my optimal configuration , here be how I have the dumbbell place on each row . top row : -lrb- 4 -rrb- 5 lb , -lrb- 3 -rrb- 8 lb , -lrb- 2 -rrb- 10 lb Middle Row : -lrb- 2 -rrb- 30 lb , -lrb- 2 -rrb- 35 lb , 10 lb medicine ball Bottom Row : -lrb- 2 -rrb- 15 lb , -lrb- 2 -rrb- 20 lb , -lrb- 2 -rrb- 25 lb note : I put my heavy dumbbell on the 2nd row so I do not have to bend over to much to pick they up . I be not able to fit my -lrb- 2 -rrb- 25 lb dumbell on the 2nd row with the 30 and 35 , so I put the medicine ball there . if you have more dumbbell than what I have describe , you may want to buy something bigger . I be really happy with this purchase . Hope this review help . +496 Dumbbell POS 5 after read other review , I be concern this would be difficult to assemble . maybe they have improve the instruction , but I find it very easy to put together by read the instruction . I think there be two key to make it go smoothly . 1 . do not fully tighten the screw at first . they should be just loose enough to have some room to move to get everything in place . once it be assemble , then tighten everything down . 2 . use a socket wrench with a ratchet . use the hex wrench to hold one side in place and use the socket wrench to tighten . the proper socket size be list in the instruction , but I think it be 9\/16 '' . it only take my about 30 min . to get it fully assemble from the time I open the box . it have be a huge improvement when do p90x to put the dumbbell in easy reach to adjust and pickup to minimize down time between set and avoid risk of injury from pick they up from the floor each time . +186 Dumbbell POS 4 fit in the hand weigh what it be suppose to Color irrelevant to the purpose a dumd dumbell , just what I be look for . +804 Dumbbell POS 5 be hestitant to purchase after read the bad review , of course , but decide that it be a great value since the shipping be free . turn out to be easy to assemble and appear quite sturdy . I do not have all rack full - only have 10 , 12 , 15 , 20 and 25 pound weight on it at this time . +575 Dumbbell POS 5 sturdy design . have option for wheel -lrb- include -rrb- . good height . recommend a gym mat if you want to protect you harwood floor or carpet . assembly be bit of a pain as you need some help tighten the screw -lrb- take about 45 min to assemble -rrb- . highly recommend with bowflex dumbell . +64 Dumbbell NEG 2 there be nothing I hate more than push-up , so I get this . I notice other people like it . I now find something I hate more than push-up . I guess shake weight be not for everyone . +17 Dumbbell NEG 1 my Aunt tell that she love this thing . it be a stupid . and , I can not believe I buy it . +630 Dumbbell POS 5 I manage a condo and need a rack to get the free weight of the floor . this do the job ! it be strong , relatively easy to put together and the price be excellent . we fitness room be pretty small and this take up minimal space . the only complaint I have be the rubber foot thing be a pain to get in do not seem to fit very well . luckily there be a few hundred lb on it . I do not think it be go anywhere ! +40 Dumbbell POS 4 this thing be heavy duty , but I thoguht it would be bigger from the picture . I should have measure it . it will fit -lrb- barely -rrb- hex dumbbell of 5,8,10,12,15,20,25,30,35,40,45 . +311 Dumbbell POS 4 good product , but notice that be not a olympic bar , so it do not fit my bench press , it be to short . +378 Dumbbell POS 4 my wife be very pleased with she shake weight . she use it every night , and feel more energize after a few minute of use , particularly after a tiring day 's work . +780 Dumbbell POS 5 the shake weight can be use by people who have never go to gym or play professional or nonprofessional sport . the Weight do not weight that much so it make the rep hard to do . if you want to really add the pressure to a area then all it take be more effort instead of more actual weight . I would suggest the Shake Weight to other . +266 Dumbbell NEU 3 be very careful . I have work out for 25 year . I have never have a injury. , , until use the shake weight . I get it as a impulse because it look different and I be curious . I like it at first . the same day that I have use it for the first time , I feel neck twinge . now I have severe neck pain that have go on for 4 day . I cant turn my head . I cant drive or sleep at night . maybe my fault , as I do the workout and do not keep my foot flat on the ground in a stable way . I walk around the room while do it . bad idea . it create a whiplash effect . +269 Dumbbell POS 5 not sure why other reviewer have trouble with the assembly , but with basic tool it be no problem . product quality be good and the stand be attractive . make use the weight set alot more pleasurable , and worth the investment to save you back . +447 Dumbbell NEG 2 IM NOT A WEAK PERSON BUT I just feel like this be hard to use and CONTROL . while I be do it it be bounce around all over the place I have to DO VERY SMALL MOVEMENTS or IT FEEL LIKE ITS just all over the place and my husband be like your not do it right ! BUT if I do it the other way it sway front and back I mean you CAN FEEL your muscle work BUT THIS PRODUCT be just not for me +343 Dumbbell POS 5 I have have a pair of the 1090 dumbbell -lrb- 90 lb each -rrb- for about 10 month and be lift they from the floor until now . the price finally drop here on Amazon so I decide to pull the trigger . Trust I , if you be above 30 like I , and can not recuperate as quickly as a 18 y.o. . . purchase these ... you 'll save you back . these be sturdy , well-made and convenient stand for you selecttech dumbbell . the shipping carton say 45 lb -lrb- the outer-box be marked Bowflex stand ... so if get as a gift , have it gift-wrapped -rrb- . unlike other reviewer , I have absolutely no problem set this up ... the instruction be straightforward ... they be the ` exploding-diagram ' type ... so maybe I be visual like that . I recommend not take all the washer , nut and bolt out of the packaging ... just slice the shrink-wrap to keep the bolt in they position ... that way it be easy to differentiate . it come with a allen-wrench , but you 'll need a 9\/16 socket for the nut-side ... I recommend hand-tightening until it be fully set-up ... just to make sure everything be align . the caster work fine ... move it around a couple of time and no problem ... but they do seem cheap compare to the rest of the stand . if they break , I 'll just use the peg . all in all , it be well worth it to get the stand ... I just have to save up long enough after I get the dumbbell themselves . +525 Dumbbell NEU 3 it need to be a big bigger and have pad for the dumbbell but for the price I can not complain . +818 Dumbbell POS 4 not overwhelming or spectacular , but for those of we who do not really have a budget to spend big $ $ $ on resistance training and other exercise equipment , it be good enough to get the job do . you 'll find yourself need to order a additional set of 2.5 , 5 and 10 pound disc if you want to actively use all three barbell and have a nuanced workout where you can gradually step up resistance each week or two . still , it get one 's foot in the door , as it be ... +827 Dumbbell POS 4 I have have my Shake Weight for man for 2 day now and so far I really like it . the 6 minute dvd workout really do make you muscle burn ! and my arm definitely swell up after ward just as if I would be lift weight . I can not say what the effectiveness will be in the long run but I do not see how this could not beef someone up . one thing I 'll say be that I do not really feel a workout in my chest . I may have feel a little soreness there today but not much . the workout dvd go over 3 workout and the Shake Weight come with a card show those workout plus one more that be not demonstrate in the video . my plan be to do all 4 every day . maybe I will notice it in my chest more ? I do have concern that this could hurt someone back if they have have previous back injury but it do not seem to be bother mine . overall it be a well make product and I think it be go to do a good job make my arm a little more cut . and honestly it be a lot more fun to use than plain old lifting weight . 4 Stars ! oh and I notice someone else 's review say just to buy the female shake weight ... I do not get that because the one for man be 5lbs and the female version be 2.5 lb ... 11\/14\/10 Update I still think this be a good product . if anything I keep slip up and stop use it for a week or two . but my arm be definitely more define . especially my triceps ! I have never be able to see any definition in that area but they be bulge out now when I flex . I be go to try to stay devoted to do the workout twice a day now and really accelerate the muscle growth . a quick bit of info . . at first it may seem that it be slim down you arm . what I have notice be that it burn any fat off first and then the muscle growth begin . do not be discourage . even use it off and on I be definitely more tone than I ever be . I be gonna push this thing to the max and see just how rip it can make I . +817 Dumbbell POS 5 use with p90x and these be perfect . right amount of weight for reasonably strong and athletic 43 year old -lrb- 180 lb -rrb- . allow quick change . be get some Platemates so that smaller 2.5 lb increment be possible . I know there be newer powerblock that allow 2.5 lb change but you have to open the handle and change cylinder out - add Platemates have to be quicker , and p90x really have you change weight pretty rapidly - I would rather not hit pause during the workout . +375 Dumbbell POS 5 despite the stigma attach to the shake weight , it do its friggin job . I love it . it really work . strongly recommend ... ... . if you can handle it ! +853 Dumbbell NEG 2 another warn that you be only get one dumbbell . Mine arrive new , but one dumbbell be pretty useless . the product description make no mention of the fact that this be not a pair . +327 Dumbbell NEU 3 the diameter of the handle be a bit small . wear glove help . the 50 's be on sale for $ 37 each at a local department store so I scoop they up , not see weight for less than $ 1\/pound very often . +535 Dumbbell POS 5 look at several differant type of rack , this one have prove to be very good quality and easy to put together . would highly reccomend product and amazon . I pay $ 87.00 and no shipping . +603 Dumbbell NEG 1 it break in half when I set it down . I have rubber flooring and do not drop the weight from a great height . I have be lift weight for 20 year . I purchase on Dec 30 , 2010 and use it about 2x a week . this be kind of scary . about to contact Amazon and possibly manufacturer to see what they say about it . will post a update . +988 Dumbbell POS 4 exercise with the Shake Weight make you look ridiculous . it be true . but forget about that . the first time you manage to finish the six-minute workout routine , you 'll realize just how effective it be . the Shake Weight be not motorize , however , which many people seem to expect -lrb- even I do -rrb- . you be the one generate the motion of the dumbell . you be the motor . the dumbbell itself be well-constructed and obviously much easier to use and store than just about any other piece of home gym equipment . at only five pound , I do not have high expectation for the kind of workout this thing would produce - but I be definitely please with the result . even after only three week of do six minute a day , I have see improvement . my triceps be more solid , and I be start to get a bit of bicep definition . it be a pretty good feeling get noticeable result from just six minute a day ! the bottom line be that for $ 30 , you do not have to worry about look ridiculous . just try it . +287 Dumbbell NEG 1 I do not even use it anymore , it just hurt you joint . you do not get that sore feeling like you would from normal weight -lrb- or any normal workout -rrb- so you know you muscle be not get work correctly . yes , my arm be die after use it , but it feel the same just swing it around like that with or without the shake weight . +649 Dumbbell NEU 3 so , I think this shake on it be own -lrb- well , with the help of battery -rrb- but it do not . I read the review and see other people who say the same thing but I think , maybe they just do not figure out how to turn it on . I be wrong . obviously we be not the only people to think it shake on it be own because the people of Shake Weight have they own website explain how to make it shake ... call ` howtoshakeit.com ' so , if you do not believe I -lrb- or think I just do not know how to turn it on -rrb- go to that website . it seem like the weight and the shake part of it probably do help with you muscle and everything but it also seem like , if you hold a regular weight very loosely -lrb- allow it to slide between you hand -rrb- and shake it like you would the shake weight , that probably work about as well . they suggest you do it for 6 minute a day -lrb- which sound easy -rrb- but for beginner , that be nearly impossible , as the weight really do work you muscle . if you buy the weight new , it come with a short video with a 6 minute workout and if you watch it , you see that the lady who do the video do not even seem like she can do the whole 6 minute straight , as the lesson do not seem to be one continuous shot but clip paste together to make a complete 6 minute video -lrb- if that make sense -rrb- . if you have get the money to spend for a ` special ' dumbbell , then go ahead and buy this . but if you be think it be go to be some kind of miracle worker , I do not think it be . I highly recommend you try shake a regular dumbbell first and see if that help you muscle because , like I say , that be basically what this do . I be a little disappointed . +599 Dumbbell POS 5 I order several dumbbell from Cap Barbell , they arrive on time and in the condition I expect . no complaint at all ! +265 Dumbbell POS 4 although I find it more difficult than it look to keep the weight vertical -lrb- and look like the video while do so -rrb- , the shake weight do work and it appear to provide a good workout in a short time . this be a intense workout for a woman whose main arm exercise otherwise be use the mouse or shift gear in the car . however , after use it for a couple of week I can tell that my arm be stronger and more tone , so I be please with the product . +252 Dumbbell POS 5 this be a fabulous product . although I have read complaint about the assembly direction , I think they be clear . it be always a good idea to read the instruction all the way through before assemble anything . the 1st page list all the part and show the exact size of the different screw . each step tell you which size screw to use . the only thing I would recommend be that you use a crescent wrench along with the allen wrench that come with the kit for tighten the screw . the screw fit tight and be stiff to turn . with a crescent wrench , it be not a big deal . it do take over a hour to assemble , but it be very sturdy and safe to use when complete . +570 Dumbbell POS 4 the apex 3-tier dumbbell rack be order on 12\/11\/08 and receive at my home on 12\/15 , pretty good for free shipping . however , the shipment arrive with the box literally open and part lay on the ground at my front door where FedEX drop it off . this product weigh 56 lb and only shipping tape be use to seal the box . fedex should require the supplier to use nylon strap to hold the box together . luckily , no part where lose . I find a few minor scratch , as well , but that be fine with I give the forthcoming scratch I will give it when use it . assembly require 20 minute with a single socket wrench . it be very solid and ergonomical well design . the rubber footing add a nice touch for stability . I load it with 8 pair of hexagon dumbbell -lrb- 5 to 40 lb -rrb- . it do not sway when load or unload dumbbell . the 5 lb dumbbell do not rest properly on the rack , but all other be fine . I still have room for 2 more pair of small -lrb- less than 40lb -rrb- dumbell . I recommend this product , minus the lousy shipment experience . +139 Dumbbell POS 4 pro : - muscle ache and you heart pump enough after the six minute so I think it work - seem like it be relatively sturdy - cheap quick workout con : - make a weird clicky noise sometimes - at first it be really hard to get it move - use it be kind of weird -lrb- I mean hold it right and whatnot , it do not feel goofy or look goofy like everyone say it do ... and trust I I always say it look goofy until I try it -rrb- final thought : I think this would be a worthwhile investment and the pro definitely outweigh the con . +554 Dumbbell POS 4 buy for my girlfriend as a gift , this small weight set be great for use with in house fitness video . the rack be however flimsy but it work to hold the weight up , just do not try and move it and do not press too hard when put it together . +395 Dumbbell POS 4 I really like this product because it be compact and not as cumbersome as the larger set . for most people , this will suit they need and they can get a upgradable set later on . the small size allow almost everyone to perform conventional exercise with proper form . with the larger PowerBlocks , this be a concern because of add bulk and length . the square shape of these dumbbell allow the manufacturer to put more weight in a smaller place . this make these much smaller than other round adjustable dumbbell over the same weight range and increment . from a safety perspective , I also think these be the safest and most rugged adjustable dumbbell . however , this do not mean that nothing can go wrong . you need to be conscious of insert the pin straight across and the pin mechanism right side up so the magnet engage to hold the pin together . there be a also a backup elastic band to prevent a plate from fall , but this might not save you in a overhead triceps extension . this product be rugged and well make . it be less likely to break then some other brand and the concept be simple behind how the adjustment work . in other word , there be less thing to break or go wrong and I believe these can take a fairly hard fall and still be fine . I have not drop mine , but I base this assumption on the way they be design and the quality of the material and how they be put together . I would definitely purchase these if you do circuit training and want to keep you pulse up . if you become serious , you can buy a expandable set over a larger range later . this be great entry point product . +695 Dumbbell POS 5 you should always workout with free weight , as they allow you to use the natural free-range of motion , stabilizer muscle , and proper posture . there be absolutely no reason you should work out on machine unless you be a complete beginner or injure . machine be great for safety , but not much else . if you be go to invest in a dumbbell set , get the one that go to 50 pound at the minimum . everything else be just a waste . you will outgrow you old weight as you constantly and consistently work out . if dumbbell set be too expensive for you , then consider join a gym for $ 20 a month or get 3 dumbbell weight -lrb- 10 pound , 25 pound , and 50 pound -rrb- . there be no need to even invest in a dumbbell set until you bodyweight exercise and stability exercise become too easy -lrb- over 100 push-up , 20 pull-up , and 6 minute mile -rrb- . until then , use you body weight ! it be cheaper , faster , and easier . if you do not feel the burn after 10 repetition , you be do the exercise wrong . in all exercise , it be the eccentric portion of the exercise that build muscle . do the exercise in a smooth , controlled fashion with a 3 concentric and 6 eccentric count . squeeze at the peak of the motion to get that extra pump . as in all exercise , make sure to keep you wrist straight and check you posture with these seven vital point : foot hips-width apart and point straight ahead ; knee slightly bent ; pelvis at perfect middle , as if you be sit at a bar stool ; stomach tight , but not flex ; chest straight and align on top of rib ; shoulder parallel to rib ; and neck straight on top of body +580 Dumbbell POS 5 I just receive they last evening and they be exactly what I expect . the 3 lb . increment up to 24lb be perfect . they be just the right size for a woman . in comparison , the Bowflex and Selecttech 's be too big and cumbersome for I . these be perfect . they be compact and do not take up much room at all . you need to be attentive when put in the pin . there be a top side and bottom side to the gray pin-bar . I have find that when insert upside down the plate do click together and the pin handlebar fall out . other than that minor note , I love they ! as one review state , you can hear the plate click together when lifting , but I find that when the pin be insert properly and the gray bar be snug to the frame there be no or very little noise . if you do not want any noise , I suggest get dumbbell . quite frankly , I be more focus on get through p90x than a little bit of noise ! +301 Dumbbell POS 5 I have get the shake weight for man and I absolutely love it . I use it every day and I actually feel sore after use if for about 10 minute . I can see some definition start to come in my arm that I have never see before . obviously it look a little strange but if you have not try it already then I recommend you do ! +474 Dumbbell POS 5 I have have these weight for just over 2 week and they be nothing short of fantastic . very easy to switch from 5 to 45 pound to optimize a workout . I have already lose two inch off my waist thanks to these and a new diet . I would definitely recommend these +21 Dumbbell POS 4 I die laugh the first time I see this advertise on television . after read the review I have to give it a try . I be a personal trainer and have do weight training for year . because of that , I order the man 's version of the Shake Weight . who would have think that a little 5 pound weight could be any kind of a challenge ! though this will not be my primary source of weight training , it will certainly become a part of my routine . it be always good to keep you muscle guess and this be definitely a fun way to `` shake '' it up a bit . of course , I will not use it where anyone can see I ! +602 Dumbbell POS 5 I love this product and it be cheap enough . I would say I do wish I would have purchase a larger one because I have purchase more dumbbell that will not fit on the rack and it be like only a extra 50 lb set so they end up on the floor , no biggie the produck it great . +563 Dumbbell NEG 2 overall this be the product I need for my dumbbell , however it be either package poorly and damage during shipment or there be no quality check before it be send out . when I open the package and start to assemble it , one of the leg have a huge dent on the outside part . obviously it be go to get bang up with use -lrb- especially weight go on and off all the time -rrb- , but it always frustrate I to get something already mess up . will still use this product since it be what I be look for but will definitely avoid this seller when possible in the future . +729 Dumbbell POS 4 it do what it say its suppose to do , but it have a very plasticy feel to it . not bad just weak . Free weight be a better option . and lastly it do make for a good workout . it take a lot of energy to move that thing +258 Dumbbell POS 5 this stand be a must have especially if you have the SelectTech 1090 dumbbell . it can be a big pain and almost dangerous to be constantly pick up that kind of heavy weight from the floor . I be sure they work well with the 552 series also . also come with roller for easy movement around the house or garage . +172 Dumbbell NEG 2 I have only have these dumbbell for a few short week and have not even use they that often . however , the plastic be already crack all over they !! I own other dumbbell with plastic coating and I have not have any problem with those . consider these be `` new , '' I think the quality be really poor . all dumbbell cost around the same price , so I suggest you buy another kind . I hate to see what these will look like in a few month ! +503 Dumbbell POS 5 the set be awesome and it feel pretty well build . the only bad thing that i have find be that the plate be pretty big -lrb- for dumbell not the bar -rrb- but you be still able to work out effectively . still this set be great for the price . +516 Dumbbell NEU 3 I cave and get the shake weight think that it would be a quick way to tone my arm . I have be use it for about a week and do not see a whole lot of difference so far , but I think it probably deserve more time . my disappointment with the shake weight be in the video . the leader 's arm look like they be in different position base on the camera angle , and often she do not do what she be say . in chest press she elbow be too low , during the shoulder exercise it occasionally look as though she hand be point forward instead of at the ceiling , and in the rotator cuff active release she elbow dip down down in between reps. these inconsistency be not deal breaker , but when I buy a exercise video I expect the person in it to know what they be do . little movement like these can make a big difference in the result that you see . be careful of you body mechanic ! +758 Dumbbell POS 5 perfect match for the dumbbell set . can not imagine get one without the other . +574 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy mine at second wind Fitness -lrb- new -rrb- and absolutely love they . they be both smaller than my old 3 , 5 , 8 , & 10 lb dumbbell be ! I have use they every other day for 4 month now and they be like brand new , nothing break or feel shaky . they save space , have easy `` quick change '' by move the pin like Nautilaus machine back at the gym . I be extremely well-pleased . ca not recommend they highly enough . I be a 5 ' 2 '' woman and they fit in my hand better than those old 10lb dumbbell do ! +230 Dumbbell POS 5 pro : sturdy . nice look . low price for what you get . con : a few minor scratch on arrival , be not package too well . other : I reverse the top rail and it hold a full set of aerobic weight nicely -lrb- 2,4,5,6 , 8 lb . -rrb- my second tier hold 10,15,20 , and 25 lb . bottom hold my 30 , 35 , 40 lb . I put my 50lb set on the floor next to the rack . very efficient use of space . I love it . +913 Dumbbell POS 4 nice set of weight . one of the dumb bell come with a strange yellow sticky material on the end that I do not notice until I have open the package and place on my mat . it leave a stain that can not be remove . I have to wipe down the weight but other than that , I have a pleasant experience . +843 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy these to help with my physical therapy . I 'll continue to use they to tone my arm and make walk more challenging . very comfortable to grip . small and easy to store in the closet . you do not need a lot of heavy weight for work out . if you be do repitition , you 'll get result . I also use the low weight for Zumba and Wii Fitness . +519 Dumbbell NEU 3 you get what you pay for as the cheapest weight you can find you can bet they be cheap as hell shipping be nothing more then a over size box with paper in it . so yeah box will be destroy . when i get it the up man be shock at how it be ship . the weight inside show damage from be drop and throw around in a over size box . they work though but huge defect in both weight . I have older cap dumbbell but they be still in good shape . I gamble and lose . haha what can i say huge chunk of other weight be move around like a junky job of put they together . the reject weight this site sell to you i guess . but again you save 20-40 $ a pair so that be a plus for little think like that . +13 Dumbbell POS 5 I figure it be a gimmick when I order it , but I really like it . it definitely do work ! I like that you can see and feel it work . it do not take much time to do the workout , so I do not talk myself out it . in just 3 week I can really see a difference in my arm . +750 Dumbbell NEG 1 I be encourage by read the positive review , so I go ahead and order one , think it would be beneficial . I have no idea how anyone could have they arm become sore from this device . I use it 2-3 time a day for 5 day , and feel absolutely nothing . I be not in primo shape by any means , but a 2.5 weight be not go to help most people improve and tone they arm . what a waste of money . +319 Dumbbell POS 5 I really love my Shake Weight . I read a few review about it and people seem to really like it so I get it , too . they do have a money back guarantee and I would not have hesitate to use it if I do not like it . the Shake Weight come with a workout dvd for a 6 minute workout . I do it once a day while I be watch tv -lrb- the workout be not hard to memorize -rrb- . I usually can not even do each exercise for the recommend time because my arm hurt so much . I take before picture and after just one week of use it I take after picture and my arm look amazing . when I flex there be actually muscle now and my triceps have great definition . I wish I could upload the picture but I guess you can not do that on amazon . I never have huge arm they just have no muscle tone . the Shake Weight definitely tone you arm and it be so easy to use . yes ... it look really weird and sexual to use it but all my roommate love it now and they use it , too . I even convinced one of my guy friend to get the man 's version . hopefully it will work just as well for he as it have for I ! this be a must buy if you be lazy like I and never go to the gym but still want awesome sexy arm ! +88 Dumbbell POS 5 th dumbell be fine and show up on time , however it be only 1 dumb bell . I think it be 2 . I think dumb bell come in set , so it be a little expensive when you package show up and there be only 1 . not sure what you would do with only one ... I have to order another . +950 Dumbbell POS 5 I order two of these dumbbell to do physical therapy exercise . my grip be weak and the neoprene make it easy to hold during any exercise . the number 5 on each end do not look as if it will last very long , but I have have that problem with vinyl dumbbell as well . the neoprene coating seem a bit thin , so it may begin to show wear sooner rather than later , but I definitely expect to get a few year of use from they . I do not really care about aesthetics when it come to these weight . they be both purple , as state , -lrb- darker than the current picture on the product page -rrb- and that be fine with I . the bottom line be that they be comfortable to use , have hexagonal end so they do not roll away , and overall be worth the cost . I will buy more of this brand . +236 Dumbbell POS 5 at first i be very skeptical . be in gym i say no way a little dumbbell can do all they claim . it do but the rip part that be good genetics . i have be work out over ten year i be no slouch but the shakweight be hard i have trouble do twenty seconds . some review say it be hard to get it shake that be the point if it be easy you muscle would get no challenge . i personally work out a hour and a half a day that be not for everyone but i do recommend additional exercise it be not a magic weight . but very good addition . try it i do and i be happy even with all the negativity . +902 Dumbbell POS 5 the shake weight do work ! but only for specific goal . this will increase muscle size and strength in weak individual . this will decrease muscle size and strength in those who already use they biceps\/triceps . it be that simple . my girlfriend use this and claim `` I can feel the burn '' not realize what actual body building\/muscle grow be all about . she be simply fatigue she muscle and since she be so weak , it appear to work . so do the shake weight work ? yes , it can work . but you be better off get a pair of dumbbell , 20lb each , and work you way up to increase the weight . just go to bodybuilding.com for a couple month at least 4 time a week and you will learn a lot about body building , loose weight , etc. . I only give this 5 star because it be a high quality product but a bad idea , like most popular thing you see on tv . by the way , you can get some cardio in by use the shake weight and jump around or do some squat with it , yes 5lb squat while jack off the air behind you head . +919 Dumbbell NEG 1 when I purchase the Shake Weight , I know full well that I have to do the shake . its a sad thing that so many people buy this product , think it be a machine that shake itself . you have to work for it !!! however , I say do not buy this piece of crap because it break . it do not break when I be work out even ; no , it be sit under my desk and I be rest my foot on it and the end just pop right off . do you want that thing to fly off into you face people ? this thing be a hazard , and I be lucky . I would hate for someone out there to actually be work hard with this thing when the end fly off and suddenly , you need a nose job . save your money people !!! if there be a rating less than one star , I would use that . +58 Dumbbell POS 5 these dumbbell be excellent ! I use the Bowflex SelectTech adjustable dumbbell and find that they be very bulky -lrb- which may limit some exercise -rrb- and rattle in you hand . the Bowflex dumbbell also need to be line up just right when set they down on the stand , which can be a minor nuisance . the PowerBlocks adjust easier and quicker than they Bowflex counterpart . quality adjustable dumbbell like these may look expensive at first , but they be build very well and will last many many year . I use these for my p90x workout , and in a typical hour workout , I save myself at least 10 minute use these dumbbell over my old custom-weight dumbbell with a fraction of the footprint . you will not be disappoint with PowerBlocks ! +748 Dumbbell POS 5 excelente producto esto va para mis amigo los venezolanos que siempre hay dudas de los paquetes persona serias y todo es como sale compre con seguridad soy muy delicado con mis compras y quede fino ciando vi lo paquete +341 Dumbbell POS 5 love this product , so do my sister , I buy one for she too and she love it too . +440 Dumbbell NEG 2 full disclosure : I be a woman , but I buy this version because the review be better , and supposedly this version be sturdier . I lift weight to build strength , to tone , and to charge my metabolism . I use barbell at about 35 pound , maybe 40 if I be feel it , and a 50 to 60 pound kettlebell , just so you have a idea . my arm be not that rip , but I be curious to try this product anyhow . it be a little tricky to use , but frankly you either get it or you do not . it really be a matter of master keep you hand still so it can work you arm -lrb- supposedly -rrb- . yes , it do create a sort of tension in the arm near the bicep , but it be a strange feeling . it be not a `` I just shred some weight '' tension , it be a `` my muscle fascia be really tight '' tension . I have keep the rest of my weight routine the same and I have not see any difference . honestly , I think this product be probably just a fad . I do give it two star because it be sturdy ; I have drop it and it do not break . but skip this one and stick to real lifting . +683 Dumbbell POS 5 excellent product - i love to workout and now have some additional piece of workout gear . excellent quality and identical to those use by most gym i have be to . +12 Dumbbell NEU 3 I buy it . I use it once . I kind of would just prefer two free-weight . it be mostly just a conversation piece . +980 Dumbbell POS 5 high quality . Easy to assemble . look and work great . glad I buy it . +732 Dumbbell POS 5 I be a little worried when I first open the package . it be really light and it feel really awkward ! I mess around with it for a little while and I be not very impressed . but then I put in the dvd that come with it . WOW ! after the 6 minute I could feel the tightness in my shoulder . I be not all that big into body building or anything , but I do go to the gym about 3-4 time a week and I do the arm weight . this work out be a really good one for only do it for 6 min . it impress I ! but it be go to feel weird in you hand for the first little bit . but try the dvd before give up on it . you may be surprised ! +864 Dumbbell POS 4 these be as expect ... thrill ! and , love the stand ... make they more accessible . anything that make exercise easier to get start work for I ! +569 Dumbbell POS 5 I purchase the PowerBlock dumbbell after return the SelectTech dumbbell . the selecttech be cumbersome , the weight plate feel loose , and you have to dial two dial to select one weight . furthermore , they be over $ 100 more expensive than the PowerBlocks . on the plus side for the PowerBlocks : 1 -rrb- they take up very little space for a adjustable dumbbell 2 -rrb- they feel solid 3 -rrb- while not cheap , they be much cheaper than the SelectTech dumbbell 4 -rrb- you can do over the head tricep extension use both weight or one use the handle on the bottom 5 -rrb- select the weight be a one step process for each weight 6 -rrb- they be upgradable with a heavier handle option and a barbell option on the minus side : 1 -rrb- allign the pin to select the weight be a bit more difficult with the weight on the ground . the stand or a table top would alleviate this problem . overall , I be pleased with the PowerBlocks and definitely recommend they to anyone look for a quality , adjustable weight dumbbell . +873 Dumbbell POS 5 the Bowflex SelectTech 552\/1090 dumbbell stand be great . very sturdy and easy to put together . the dumbbell fit perfectly on the stand and the wheel make it easy to move . very pleased . +769 Dumbbell NEU 3 its a good product get you arm thin . but it isnt mean for Muscle Build up this be just to Cut you arm ive be use it for a week for about 6 min a day and ive see progress +498 Dumbbell POS 4 unless you have a table or counter to put these weight on , it be just not good for you back . when re-racking weight and have to put it back on the floor . this rack be build for the dumbbell and function as it be . the wheel be very helpful when need to wheel these thing around . especially for cleaning . very stable . +453 Dumbbell POS 5 you see the commercial and I guess the actor be better at it than me , THEY LOOK LIKE IT 's MOTORIZED . oh well , it be not , BUT you still feel it work . take ALOT of EFFORT , BUT KEEP IT up and you 'll see result . +768 Dumbbell POS 5 I have surgery on my shoulder , and my physical therapist recommend this for my home exercise . it be not mean to create a lot of weight to bulk up with -lrb- like it show in the advertisement -rrb- but it create enough resistance to build endurance and tone muscle , which be exactly what my deteriorated shoulder muscle need . +938 Dumbbell NEG 1 its horrible an ut not wht its mean to be how can i return it +753 Dumbbell POS 5 there be dumbell rack out there that cost a small fortune . why ? a sturdy chunk of steel be all you need and that be what this thing be . nice rubber foot prevent damage to you floor . Easy to assemble . inexpensive . you might need two if you have lot of dumbell . other than tiny weight , you can get about three pair on each shelf , which be enough for I . very happy with this rack . +310 Dumbbell POS 5 I have want to try this for a while , finally decide to try it because of this be a lower price than what be be offer in local store . plus with the free shipping it be quite a bargain . the product arrive in perfect condition and be just what it seem : a weight that you shake . it will work if you use it correctly , but it be more difficult to use than it look . the dvd be helpful . +508 Dumbbell NEU 3 I honestly think that this run on battery or something and would shake itself and you just hold onto it ... wrong ... I suppose it work though . I have do the dvd a few time and it make you arm tire . +323 Dumbbell POS 5 read a review that say that this product be great to tone specific muscle but will not help a person loose weight . Perfect for those who be already fit who be always look for way to look better or maintain they body . after a few minute of try it out it become clear how it definitely work . good purchase . +29 Dumbbell NEG 2 I buy these weight to use with p90x and while they be ok for the price , I can not recommend they for use in p90x because you have to change the weight too often and quickly . I find the plate and the pin to be cumbersome and easily misalign . you can insert the pin and not actually be in the correct spot and then the plate shift while you be do reps. its not so easy to add or subtract weight . if you be just go to stick with the same weight for most of you routine , then these would work fine , but in p90x I be sometimes use three different weight for one three exercise circuit . I get my husband the bowflex dial weight and those be MUCH better in term of ease of switching weight although they be twice the price . I be go to go back to the traditional dumbbell weight for ease of switching . +992 Dumbbell NEG 2 i baught this think ok one of my trouble spot as a woman be my arm , well ... its boring , its funky weight and shape to use , the instructor Lindsey creap I no insperation to keep use the video . . now the dog like the use it as a chew toy . i have have WAY BIGGER result with boxing glove and bag work and jump roaping with weight on my arm . i wouldnt recomend this except as a paper weight or chew toy ... plus my guy friend give I crap with there pervert mind its dumb +73 Dumbbell NEU 3 I wish I have pay more attention to everyone else 's review because I be really surprise when I open the box and there be only one dumbbell ! I would not recommend buy this - go buy a pair together instead ! +720 Dumbbell POS 5 this be a great rack . it actually work better for I to have the front rail on each level upside down . it will save my finger ! I have add a picture for reference . +217 Dumbbell POS 5 I purchase this for my wife . it come in 3 box . one big brown box , inside that be another brown box , and finally the last box be colorful and contain the weigh and stand . the stand be flimsy plastic but work . you 'll need a Phillips screwdriver to put it all together . 5 minute later , it be all assemble and hold you colorful weight . my wife be happy with these weight , it cover the major weigh she would need and it be easy to identify which be which -lrb- by color and size -rrb- . +263 Dumbbell POS 5 for someone who live away at college with a room to myself this be the perfect way to workout without too much equipment . it will take I a long time before the weight in this set no longer challenge I . the dumbbell be very sturdy , easy to change , easy to clean and store . I highly recommend they if you be look for a easy way to reduce clutter in you exercise enviroment . plus since individually dumbbell cost around $ 10 - $ 30 depend on the weight , you do get a good deal out of these . +598 Dumbbell POS 5 very happy that I purchase this dumbbell rack . I hesitate due to a few of the negative review , but my order arrive very quickly , all nut and bolt be package very well , and I be able to assemble the rack in about 5-10 minute with only a 5\/8 socket wrench . very sturdy , good look , excellent product . I definitely recommend this product to anyone look for a sturdy , affordable dumbbell rack . +324 Dumbbell POS 4 the quality of construction be very good so will be able to use for a long time . I be not very good at hold it at the right angle , still learn , but I can see how it would help strengthen my arm which I be need after have shoulder surgery . +131 Dumbbell POS 5 it work ! it do what it say . you need to be patient with it , and just like and piece of gym equipment , you have to learn how to use it . whereas I do not recommend this as a replacement for free weight , or you regular gym workout if that be what you be do , I do recommend it as a addition to they . if you do not have free weight , or do not have time to go to the gym , this will do very well . if you can get a 6 minute work-out out of it right away , why be you use it ? -lrb- LOL ! -rrb- seriously , take you time with it , go as long as you can , be patient with it , use all the different exercise routine that it show you how to use -lrb- the include dvd be pretty good , and the website have even more -rrb- , and work up to as long as you can . you will feel it immediately -lrb- A.K.A. sore at first , burn once you get the hang of it - and burn be a good thing ! -rrb- . the only thing I do have to say as a downside to this be the grip . it be a tad uncomfortable , and it get a little slippery when you start to sweat -lrb- and you will ! -rrb- I highly recommend a good set of workout glove with good rubber grip -lrb- Sears sell they - $ 18 -rrb- . other than that , use it regularly , and start slow , just as you would any other workout regimen , and work up to that 6 minute a day workout . no I do not look like the guy in the commercial - yet - but I notice a significant increase in my arm , shoulder , and abdomen muscle . use the dvd and website !! good stuff for $ 30 ! +540 Dumbbell POS 5 great product , but not expandable like the rep say . Powerblock have several product line and I check out they web site and order the Powerblock r90 -lrb- about 80 buck more for a potential of 130 pound per hand . -rrb- they have a rubber coating and better all around look and quality . if 50 pound be all you need they be truly great . +0 Dumbbell POS 5 as mention already , expect the package to be destroy when it get to you door . otherwise it be a heavy piece of metal that be durable and function exactly as intend . +692 Dumbbell POS 5 muchas gracias , compre desde venezuela sin ningun problema , I llego la mercancia a tiempo y en buen estado , como acordadon recibi la mercancia en la direccion acordada , muy agradecido +942 Dumbbell NEG 1 I purchase a set of these high tech dumbbell several year ago and the plastic material cover the weight plate have become brittle and be now crack and fall off . I wish I have spend the money on a set of plain jane , low tech and indestructable dumbbell . +412 Dumbbell NEG 1 this item do not shake as well as I would have expect , or have like it to . it be a great idea , but mine do not seem to shake properly , or enough for I . I would like to try a different brand to see if it be more shakeable . overall dissatisfied with the quality . +315 Dumbbell POS 5 I have try the Bowflex Select Tech and have own these weight for two month now , and the select tech do not even compare be so many way . the Select Tech be WAY bulkier and feel very awkward to hold . it be much longer and when you choose the weight setting , it randomly pull out certain weight off the dumbell which make the dumbell feel weird . the powerblock on the other hand feel very stable and non awkward . when you pull the weight out on whatever setting you want it on , it conviently pull out and leave all the weight that be below the weight you pick on the ground . it be a amazing product and be absolutely worth the price . also if you want to have they in 2.5 weight incremenet , just buy 2.5 pound wrist weight for each arm ! +360 Dumbbell NEG 1 this be a very disappointing item . i be sorry i get it , it be not what it be crack up to be . you would be better off with a pair of free weight . it doesnt shake easily , and be just a waste of you money . +146 Dumbbell POS 5 I actually purchase the home gym package c directly from powerblock and not the product show here . the gym package consist of the 5-90 elite dumbell , the stand and a weight bench . these item be ship promptly in six seperate package . the stand and weight bench require a little assembly , but nothing too drastic . the stand be a little bit of a hassle as there be a number of small screw and nut and that have to be put in . the bench be mostly pre-assembled , but have a couple part that have to be put in . i highly recommend get the stand . not only be it a great place to store the dumbell , but it make change the weight much easier . change the amount of weight be very easy , and just involve pull the `` pin '' out and slide it in to select the desire weight . the dumbell be color code , so you can quickly see the amount of weight you be choose . use the `` pin , '' the weight be change in ten pound increment . there be `` adder weight '' that come with the elite set , each of which be 2.5 pound . if you use the adder weight , you can change the amount of weight in 5 pound increment . however , the adder weight take a little longer to manipulate as you have to pull the central core out and slide the weight out . i can change the weight use the pin in literally 2 seconds . however , the adder weight take about 10 seconds to change . i have decide to just keep the adder weight in the weight and not change they out . i be find just change the amount of weight in 10 pound increment . one other thing about these weight . when i first get they and set they up , i be not put the adder weight in correctly -lrb- it be a long story , but essentially i put one of the core in upside down , cause the adder weight to slide out when i do not want they to -rrb- . i call customer support and someone answer on about the third ring . there be no voice mail and no wait while i listen to elevator music . i ask to talk to someone in technical support , and the guy that answer tell I he could help I . he be very helpful and we work through the problem -lrb- which have be my fault in the first place -rrb- . this be probably the best technical support i have experience and mile above the usual support i recieve for computer software\/products . in short , i be very happy with my purchase . this be a high quality product make in the USA . i be go to get a lot of use out of these and expect to use they for the rest of my life . they seem to take a lot of pride in what they produce . highly recommend ... +624 Dumbbell POS 4 these dumbbell holder work well with the corresponding dumbbell . it look great and hold up well to the weight . safe and effective . a bit expensive for a stand , but effective . +273 Dumbbell POS 4 im almost 60 year old . I have be work out since I be in my teens and have continue to engage a lifestyle of eat right and exercise with all type of free weight and machine . I weigh within 10 lb of my high school day and my waist be still a 32 . Shake Weight be another tool and in my opinion a good one . after use it I can feel the muscle pump in my arm , shoulder , chest and back . which mean it do work by stress the muscle group it target . if you think you 'll look like the guy in the demo ad after use it awhile , then you be naive ! if you be so out of shape from not exercise in 20 or 30 year and you think just use the Shake Weight be go to make you physically fit like the guy in the video demo , then you be mistake . if you be just a whiner and complainer who think it be battery power or should be battery power , then you be a nitwit who know nothing about what it take to achieve or stay physically fit ! there 's no such thing as passive exercise that will produce result . try watch `` the biggest loser '' and see how hard they be work and how they be do it . finally , if you be the type of person who believe everything they see , or hear , on tv and infomercial , then you be what we call in the military a `` zipperhead . '' Means you have no brain . physical fitness be never achieve by use just one exercise , device , or technique . but a combination of all sort of exercise , device and technique . Shake Weight be just another tool in the arsenal . +596 Dumbbell POS 4 I can definitely feel a difference in the tightness of my arm muscle , particularly the biceps . two people have also mention that my arm be look great ! if you do buy this product , be sure and read direction and follow they , or view the video first . if you do not feel the burn , you be not do it correctly ! +505 Dumbbell POS 5 this be a great dumb bell rack . it have more than enough space for the 5-50lb dumb bell . this be worth every dollar . it easily go together . and it be extremely durable . +71 Dumbbell POS 4 pro : very compact design work well , and seem to be high quality change weight be easier than you might think con : plate sometimes get stick together if you select they improperly once +805 Dumbbell POS 5 since I be too weak to carry 32lb of weight back to my apartment , I be happy to find these offer on Amazon with free shipping ! the shipping would have cost about as much as the weight themselves , so this deal be too good to pass up . other than that , they be weight . they do they job of be heavy if I do my job of lift they . so far so good . +857 Dumbbell POS 5 I be look around for a nice set of adjustable weight for p90x as my spin lock be take far too long to lock and load for the quick , fast paced weight switch that the program demand . and so after much hesitation from my wallet , I finally give in and order the PowerBlock Classic Adjustable Dumbbell set . boy , let I tell ya , worth every penny ! I be finally able to keep up with all of the work out with only the slightest effort on my part . go be the day when I have to constantly pause and rewind to stay on track . it almost make work out fun -lrb- if that be possible -rrb- , haha . they be so good in fact that if I have to choose between these weight and a girlfriend , I would choose these weight ! you know why ? because I would be so psyched to work out with these dumbbell everyday that I would get rip in no time at all , which mean a even hotter girlfriend ! ; -rrb- +39 Dumbbell POS 5 I workout every single day and need equipment that be comfortable to use . neoprene barbell work great for I . I be slowly work my way up through the weight and you can not find 6 pound weight in my area . for some reason , they go from 5 pound to 8 pound but I can not make that big of a jump without hurt myself . so glad I find the 6 pounder online ! +808 Dumbbell POS 5 neoprene cover make it comfortable in my hand . not too crazy about the baby\/powder-blue color of the 3lb weight or the fact that it come with some discoloration on it -lrb- from the cardboard packaging and it do not come off no matter how much I scrub -rrb- but not a big deal . +77 Dumbbell POS 4 att : see other review for ppl who have use this a while . its not a gym replacement . but its something to get a good pump say before you go out . I have be work out 5 to 10 time a week consistently for the past year and a half -lrb- some two a day -rrb- . and I would not believe it my self have I be read this without ever try it . also note that I work out with high intensity and focus completely on that . not talk to ppl or waste time . well , I be over at a friend house the other day and he have one of these funny look thing . I shake it for a while and feel a good pump . the next day my biceps be hurt and that just do not happen often . I think I have get all the lactic acid out long ago , but this thing get what be leave . I be get one . so be this a one stop shop for any real fitness goal ? NO. . be good to have ? yes . why ? because it give you diversity in you workout and it be CHEAP . Lactic Acid - release by you muscle when stressed . the reason for the muscle soreness day after start a workout routine . +5 Dumbbell POS 5 I purchase the man 's shakeweight rather than the one target for my gender because I have always though the weight that be gear towards woman be far too light , for I at least . 6 minute do the various position with this thing make my arm , shoulder , pec , and lat feel like bowl of Jello . I love it . it be so intense , as stupid as it sound . I have be use it nightly for about a week -lrb- 6 minute , 10 minute break , then 6 more minute -rrb- and have already notice a slight change in my upper body . for those who though this thing have battery and move by itself , I really hope you be not in any sort of position of power or managerial occupation . or parent . anyway ... this be one piece of make for tv hilarity that actually work like they say it do . +475 Dumbbell POS 5 the dumbell set be perfect for begin weight user and\/or for light weight . the rack be easy to assemble and the weight themselves be ergonomic and comfortable to use . +45 Dumbbell NEG 2 this be 1 hand weight , not a set of 2 hand weight . this be include in the product information , but I have get into a bad habit of read review and not the product info . I be give it a low rating , because it seem intentionally mislead to offer only 1 weight instead of a set . of course , after receive the product , I order another to complete the set -lrb- which be probably the seller 's goal , but it would be a hassle for I to return instead -rrb- . I would not have choose this product for the price if I have realize it be not a set . however , if you only need one weight , this one seem like a nice quality . +629 Dumbbell POS 4 I recently have a serious back surgery and I be always look for new thing to keep I motivated exercise as it be very important for I to avoid further back problem . the novelty aspect of Shake Weight Dumbbell attract my attention . this weight be a molded plastic handle with a spring at each end that compress and extend as you shake it back and forth . I like they because they add a bit of variety to my exercise routine . however , they be not provide a harder workout or burn more calorie than the traditional weight . a recent consumer report -lrb- July 2011 -rrb- do electrocardiographic study to judge how effective the Shake Weight system be and find that it be not any better than traditional weight . it do not not mean you should not use these weight , the study just clarify that it be not a magic bullet . any resistance exercise build strength and any movement build calorie , and so do Shake Weight system . if the novelty of Shake weight get you exercise it do its job ! +128 Dumbbell POS 5 I order the entire set for my Husband for he birthday . the bench , dumbbell and this stand . be like he die and go to GYM HEAVEN . he love each piece . the stand be great to hold the dumbbell , which u really need . +134 Dumbbell POS 4 the stand for these weight keep they out of the way and easier to store . the weight have a soft coating so you will not get callus . I buy these to supplement a barre video and they be the perfect series or 2lb , 3lb and 5lb for the workout +538 Dumbbell POS 5 look , I have see these great tv special on every health product there be I think . I think I would give the Shakeweight a try . Ha , let I tell you this , the man 's Shakeweight will give you a great workout as long as you `` really '' work at it . in two week , I not only feel stronger , but my body be respond to the workout better than most other high dollar equipment . but remember , this be to tone you body and not make you a superman . I be 57 , a avid cyclist , and upper body strength be paramount when mountain biking . I buy my wife the woman 's version and she love hers too . for less than thirty buck , this be one piece of exercise equipment you will want to have in you workout collection . and that be no bull . +821 Dumbbell POS 5 my arm be extremely flabby and I have not work out in a long time . I have start use the shake weight every morning and it be hard . my arm be sore from the 6 minute video . I can not wait to see the result . I doubt this will work for people that already regularly lift weight . +339 Dumbbell NEU 3 I just buy one of these to go along with my dumbell and I have to say the instruction be some of the worst I have ever see . nice idea , but trouble out of the box ! +757 Dumbbell POS 5 although I be skeptical , I have be very pleased with the Shake Weight Dumbbell . the product be well make , attractive and the video instruction be easy to follow . I use the Sake Weight regularly and highly recommend it . +364 Dumbbell POS 5 this be a excellent dumbbell rack . solid and easy to assemble . plenty of room for alot of dumbbell . as usual great Amazon sevice and shipping ... get it on sale !!! +539 Dumbbell POS 5 I get this for Christmas after much snicker from my family . I tell you what though it work so well . I have be use it everyday since I get it . I just pick it up for a few minute shake a few different way for each muscle then walk away . Super easy to do a few minute a few time a day . I be not to sure how well it would work but after a week my arm be firmer . I be not a fit girl and I tell you what it be amazing to see a little less jiggle in my arm . I will continue to use this product cause it be soooo easy and so rewarding . +833 Dumbbell POS 4 I buy a use set of Powerblocks -lrb- `` Personal '' edition -rrb- on Craigslist about 7 week ago and be happy I do . amazingly quick to switch weight , simple to use and take up hardly a blip of space at all . the compact design of the Powerblocks be one of my favorite thing about they . other design I find way too long and very awkward to use for some exercise . I have the Powerblocks and a incline dumbell bench in a corner of my garage -- I use maybe 8 square foot of space . with the Powerblocks , my workout be quick and streamlined . the strength\/core training of the program I be on take just 15-20 minute to complete and use only dumbell and the bench for equipment -lrb- for the `` cardio '' phase of the program , I run outside -rrb- . I use Harley Pasternak 's , 5-factor Fitness : the Diet and Fitness Secret of Hollywood 's a-list the Powerblocks and 5ff work perfectly for my goal . I be 45 year old and have a total of 20 to 25 pound of scale-weight I would like to lose . accord to the scale , so far I have lose 13 pound in 7 week . it be hard to say how many pound of body fat that would be , since I have gain a fair amount of lean muscle mass simultaneously -- my guess be close to 17 pound of body fat be go . I enjoy work out and eat well and all the health and energy benefit of a fit lifestyle , but at this stage of my life , workout need to be short and efficient -- never so long that I get burn out . the Powerblocks -lrb- and 5 factor Fitness -rrb- be work really well for that . best of all , I can workout really hard , because I know I 'll be do in less than 30 minute . the only reason 4 and not 5 star be that several time I have wish I have the flexibility of 2 1\/2 pound increment rather than 5 pound increment , but this be a pretty minor quibble . Powerblocks be the best fitness investment I have make . +482 Dumbbell POS 5 I love these weight ! - the price be right - they be comfortable to use - the stand be a great addition ! a little wobbly , but it get the job do . it be a wonderful storage for the weight . I definitely recommend these . +935 Dumbbell POS 5 when the commercial for this item start pop up I start do some research on the Shake Weight . Amazon and other site give it high mark , but the clincher for I be when I start talk to three member of the Central Michigan University Football team . -lrb- one of they be actually go into the NFL draft after graduation -rrb- they be stay at the same hotel we be , and be use it in the fitness room . to a man , all three of they swear that it work and do a great job . I do a few exercise with it and then order my own the next day . I have be use it for a week now , twice a day , and I can tell you that it do work ! I notice a tightness and slight tremble in my arm for some time after the very first work out , similar to the feeling of lift weight for 45 minute or so . I be on the north side of 50 and I have be work out in one form or another my entire adult life . I have also try most of the out-of-the-box portable exercise device - band , isometric , Bullworkers , as well as push up , pull up , etc. . I can say that the Shake Weight be by far the best portable exercise device I have ever use . I be definately sell on this product . there have be some comment that it do not work . if you can not feel result right away you be probably do the exercise improperly . five star plus ... +726 Dumbbell POS 5 sure . this thing do not `` shake '' itself . you have to shake it . of course . that be what it be design for . why would you buy a piece of exercise equipment that do all the work for you ? you would not be exercise then , would you ? while I suppose you could buy a static hand weight and shake it , this have a springy give that actually enhance the exercise effect . the result be a well-designed exercise tool that do not need to be huge or heavy in order to deliver maximum effect . indeed , a few minute shake this thing be exhausting and burn all the right muscle , as it should . you do have to be careful to follow the instruction and use it accordingly . shake it improperly can put unnecessary strain on joint and tendon . so practice before go all out . from what I can tell after use it for two week , it be durable , well-made and easy to handle . I just do not see a down side . add it to you collection of small and efficient exercise machine . I keep it in my tv room and use it whenever I sit down . a few minute of this and I be wear out . well worth the purchase . +983 Dumbbell POS 5 I get my shakeweight today , and I love it ! it work pretty good as well on what it be for . I would recommend to anyone who want to gain muscle ! +94 Dumbbell POS 4 they be dumbbell , so there really be not much that can be say . but anyway , if you break you wrist and you have not be able to do pushup because you wrist have not become flexible enough yet to put you hand flat on the ground , you can use these dumbbell to hold on to and do pushup . so , see , they have multiple use . but they really cost way , way too much for what they be . +170 Dumbbell POS 5 these be exactly the one I have see in store , but they be available in some of the weight that be not carry in some of the chain store . they be less expensive , and with we prime membership , do not cost a penny for shipping . will be look for more weight in hard to find size through Amazon . +232 Dumbbell POS 5 I have be look for adjustable weight and they be either cheaply make or way too expensive . I think these be a good balance between price and functionality . there be no way I be spend $ 400 on the Bowflex one , and when I try the Reebok one at target , they be tre cheap -lrb- not sturdy enough -rrb- ! it be a little fidgety to get use to how they work , but it only take a few try to get it down . I like the color coding of the weight increment , make it easier when you be try to shift from one exercise to the next . I use they with a series of video -lrb- Chalean Extreme -rrb- which be constantly change weight between exercise , and I find they very manageable . also , I like how compact they be to store and to use . the Bowflex one look so ungainly when you be use lower weight . I think this be a great product , and I highly recommend it !! +234 Dumbbell POS 5 I get my powerblock in only a few day after order with super saver shipping . I start use they and right away I could see they be solidly build and I would not have the same issue with weight fall off with other selector dumbbell I hear horror story about . I do notice a small crack in the selector pin that be mainly a cosmetic issue . I call the support number and be quickly greet by a support agent . after confirm the issue , he say there be a new pin on the way and sure enough there it be about two day later . overall great product and service experience . +520 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy the PowerBlocks after look through review for what dumbell set would work for my p90x need . after get the product and use it with p90x , I be happy to say that it be quite practical and get the job do . like other people have say , you have to make sure that you align the weight properly when you switch to different weight , but after the 4 week ive be use it , i have never be afraid of the weight randomly fall on my head or fall to the floor . it be durable and everything you would need for p90x , or for any workout routine . bottom line , get it ! you will not regret it . +191 Dumbbell POS 4 even though we order this a few week ago , we just put it together . it be larger than I think it would be . I do not pay attention to the measurement -rrb- it be easy to assemble . the only complaint that I have so far be that we be miss 2 washer . +358 Dumbbell POS 5 Easy to assemble . solid as a rock . convenient design for grab you dumbbell . hold pair , from 10-50 lb . good quality at a good price . +26 Dumbbell POS 4 these work well for a quick workout when I can not make it to the fitness club . one of the box 's of the 25 lb dumbbell be almost break in half when I receive it but the weight appear undamaged . good quality , and I just end keep the wrapper around the handle because it feel like the grip be sandpapery without glove -- not that I ever use lift glove anyway , but the wrap make they feel comfortable . +85 Dumbbell NEG 1 absolutely no. . I have have these for a while , and finally come on line to write a review this morning after reach the end of my rope . they be extremely annoying . you have to be extremely careful in make sure the weight be face a certain direction when you lift they because the pin will slide out , most especially on exercise that alternate or flip wrist , like back tri extension or shoulder fly combo . this can be very dangerous and I often have to set the weight down and pick they back up again in the middle of a combo set . aggravate , counter productive , counter intuitive , time consuming . I can not emphasize enough how annoying it be to change the weight when alternate through lower weight , basically anything under 30 pound . to have to stop and open the whole system , remove the interior weight , re-pin the block , etc. . these two thing you will have to do on almost every exercise , so multiply this over and over by you whole workout and think many , many time before you buy . +281 Dumbbell POS 4 a must have for you bowflex dumbbell . it get they off the ground and make they easy to move around . it be super easy to put together . a bit pricey imo , but there be not many other option . +23 Dumbbell NEG 1 not only do I get the impression that it be battery operate , appearently a lot of other people think the same thing . the card enclose with it for FAQ say in part `` unlike the impression create by the rapid motion of the device , the Shake Weight be not battery-powered-the user generate the movement . the internal resistance etc. . I certainly would not have order it if I have know that . +932 Dumbbell POS 5 my friend get the 50 pound Powerblocks and recommend I try the 24 pound one . I have have my PowerBlocks for a couple of week and use they with the p90x program . I love they . they be super easy to adjust , and the set-up time for lift weight go down exponentially . instead of have to move multiple set of weight , I just have to move one set ! also , if I find I choose the wrong weight -lrb- too heavy , too light -rrb- , they be quickly adjust . the 3 pound increment be convienent too . my only complaint be that I be not flexible -lrb- wrist do not be like it should -rrb- and sometimes my wrist hit the side bar on supination curl . other than that , I do not even notice the side bar . I highly recommend the PowerBlocks ! +214 Dumbbell POS 5 rack be just what I need . it be sturdy and hold a set of dumbbell nicely . it be small enough to not take up a lot of room but still big enough to do the job . +318 Dumbbell NEU 3 I highly doubt that one I receive be brand new ; cover with dust , paint scrape off in a lot of place , and some rust . I have to spend quit a bit of time to clean it up that be not fun . ater all , it be a good , steady rack . so , 4 star for the rack ; 2 star for the seller . I would not have another business with this seller again . +92 Dumbbell POS 4 the dumb bell be good , right weight right size , grip be helpful . its just every time i hold it , it give off a smell that smell like plastic and its annoying and weird . but i have notice improvement in my arm use this weight +497 Dumbbell POS 5 I have be use this product for about a week now and it do exactly what it say it do , you feel the burn on you arm and shoulder after each 6 minute workout . I have belong to gym in the past and they claim that what it take 42 minute in the gym you get in 6 minute with the Shake Weight be very accurate ! I see a lot of people panning this product on vary site , but for the price I figure I would give it a shot and it work like a charm ! all I can say be that people who say this do not work never actually try this ! definately recommend this as a good way to get definition in you arm ! +377 Dumbbell POS 5 I have not own or use the shake weight for very long . but for the short time that I have use it , it seem to be work . look forward to that sculpt upper chest ! +221 Dumbbell POS 4 I have be use this product twice a day for 2 week and I have to say , it seem to be work well for I so far . yes it do make a noise but personally , do not bother I at all . if you be look to create definition in you arm , I do not this this be the product for you . if you just want to slim you arm down , this should work well . it be difficult to use at first but once you get the hang of it , you will start to feel it work right away . I have already notice a difference in my arm and so have my husband . I be give it 4 star because of the difficulty of first figure out how to work it correctly . other then that I be love it . it be like any work out equipment . the result reflect the effort you put in . +337 Dumbbell POS 4 this be a must if you do not have something to sit you dumbell on . it be very sturdy and have either roller wheel or stationary foot you can easily install . it really be quality construction and I be glad that I have it . I would have give it 5 star ... but the instruction on how to assemble it be brutal . it will not take a rocket scientist to do it , but it will take a little figure out -lrb- common sense -rrb- to know how to do a couple of thing like attach the strap to the base of the dumbell platform . be on the lookout for sale on this item . I order the 552 dumbell and the stand come with it free . I buy they through Amazon.com . +733 Dumbbell POS 5 I have be lift weight since my high school football year . these weight be by far one of the best I have use and be of great quality and reasonable pricing ! I would highly recommend this product to anyone !! +33 Dumbbell POS 4 these be pretty much all you need to get in shape . I cancel my gym membership and buy some of these . they seem to be make of good quality . I be still get use to the ` block ' style and I think i be like it . these be pretty damn expensive but if you like to work out at home then these be a must have . +196 Dumbbell NEG 1 I be a very fit , small frame woman , early 50 's and think the ShakeWeight could strengthen my upper arm . as a result of use this device I have sustain a pinch nerve in my neck and tear both rotator cuff , I have my left arm in a sling for the past 4 week . I go to BB&B; , to check out the ShakeWeight in person ; I look at the woman size first , and find it disappointingly light and wimpy ; and it just do not seem like it could do the job ; so I decide to buy the man 's ; which be double the weight , I guess I be not as fit as I think , I do give it a go , work with it 3min a day to start off nice and easy . that little 3 min a day work out kick my butt ! after the 2 first 30 seconds set ; I be out of breath ; I start burn after the third day , decide to work through the pain a fourth day . that night ; I sleep very badly and wake up completely stiff the next morning . I could not turn my head one way or another , then both my shoulder joint be burn , and the pain just get worse every day until I could not function normally anymore ; I be apply a ice pack several time a day . even though I be take a anti-inflammatory ; the pain be like a white hot poker burn through my neck , chest and shoulder . a week later ; I be actually scream in pain and cry like a little child until one of my neighbor bring I a couple of Percocets and a heating pad , which really get I over the worst of it , until I could get to a doctor ; I could not do the basic thing we all take for grant , like brushing my tooth , wash my hair or apply moisturizer to my face or body or even drive for a whole month . imagine not be able to pull you own pants up after go to the toilet ! impossible to sleep without narcotic for that first awful week . I still have to take Advil pm to get through the night , something I do not need to do before ShakeWeight . I be real excite about this product ; I have high hope , and what a disappointment this be . plus I really hurt myself ! it be easy to get carry away with it , because it be fun to use , and I can see how the result could be amazing if only ... the manufacturer need to rethink the marketing of this product , bc the short instruction and the dvd be not very informative , they should stress that this device should be use along or as a part of a total exercise regimen , and that it be not mean to be the whole upper body workout . if you want to use this item you have to already be a gym rat , and be strong and in great shape , make it part of you regular workout routine ; also be a man would probably not be a bad thing -lrb- LOL -rrb- . so lady , if you be not a amazon -lrb- no pun intend , lol ! -rrb- or a body builder , start with the woman size , it be probably safer . let my pain be you warning ! I hope this can prevent other people from hurt themselves unnecessarily . I be in great shape before ShakeWeight , I certainly be not expect this injury to happen to I . it now be 7 week , and I still use the heating pad , and I can not sit at my computer for more than 20 minute at a time , or else I get a monster stiff neck -lrb- from the 5th vertebra to mid-back -rrb- . I wish I could sue they , for all this agony ; but they protect themselves against consumer suit with a little trademark phrase , in tiny letter somewhere on the box , but since I return it for a refund , I can not quote the phrase exactly , but it go something like this ; - consult you physician prior begin a new workout regimen - or something like that . as if ! most people do not go to the doctor until they really need to , when they be already hurt or sick ; not prior to start use a new fitness device , but I think if enough people get injure , it might raise the possibility of start a class action suit ... buyer beware +353 Dumbbell POS 5 basically that be it . this piece do the job and make you mess of weight look great against the wall , instead of on the floor . also , it be very easy to put together -- as some of these company make it very hard to do . no more bend down to pick up you weight ! love it ! +62 Dumbbell POS 4 I do not find this all that hard to put together . it do come in piece and the instruction could be write better , but it only take about a half hour to 45min to put it together . it be a very solid and steady base and there be no fear of the weight fall off of it . it fit well in a corner so it can stay out of the way . the only drawback be the strap they have be pretty useless . they can not actually go around the dumbbell and the holder that you set the dumbbell into . I have never move it out of the corner I set it in , so it be not a big deal , but if I ever have to move it , there be no way to strap the dumbbell into place . +723 Dumbbell POS 5 this be a excellent deal for the price and I get free shipping with Amazon Prime . I have be do p90x workout and start accumulate dumbbell weight in my garage . this rack be perfect for my weight . Easy to assemble and very sturdy . I highly recommend it . +828 Dumbbell POS 5 I be hesitant to drop almost $ 200 on this set of weight without see it in a store and know it be non-returnable . however , I have only use it a few time and I have be very pleased . I be motivate to work out more . they be very compact to store and very comfortable to use . I think this product be very well design . I wish I would have find this 10 year ago . it would have save I from lug all these hand weight from apartment to apartment when I move around a lot when I be younger ! such a great alternative to keep a whole set of different weight . +391 Dumbbell POS 5 I have have these Powerblocks for five year . I use they just about everyday . combine with a good quality bench there be not much you can not do with these . they be a staple in any exercise equipment arsenal . they save a tremendous amount of space and clutter compare to individual dumbbell . they be very reliable , but you do need to move the retain pin with care and not in haste , as if you get it engage across multiple section it could be a dangerous situation when you lift they up -lrb- this have happen to I a few time but be really not a huge issue -rrb- . once engage with the desire weight , they stay together nicely and they feel solid and do not rattle . I like to do tricep extension while standing , and in the gym I can pick up a single traditional dumbbell and hold it by its end with both hand and lower it behind my head and then do the extension . that be the only exercise that be somewhat difficult to do with the Powerblocks , due to the limited space to grasp the weight end of the Powerblock . but that be a minor nit . they be indestructible , and with the exception of a few scratch on the side , look and operate like the day that I buy they . as state earlier , I use these almost daily , so they have serve I very well . in my new house , we have a actual gym with rubber floor and lot of space but I see no reason to not continue to use these powerblock due to they compactness and ease of use . I find the soft grip to very comfortable and I also like the way they feel in my hand and the way they provide lateral support since the Powerblock slightly rest on you wrist area when lift they . slight downside be that I have max they out , as most probably will if you strength train regularly , so I find myself want more weight . highly recommend this product . +393 Dumbbell POS 5 you can really feel this working you arm . only thing be I Wish that I could do it everyday , like I be suppose too . +640 Dumbbell POS 5 nice stand , very good quality . it take I about 15 min to put it together . some of the review make I smile ... it be only in U.S. manufacturer put together a huge booklet how to put screw into hole and people still have hard time to do it . just use common sense , you will not need instruction at all . : -rrb- +709 Dumbbell POS 5 the rack go together without a problem and hold my weight nicely . the width rail be not adjustable so very wide or narrow handle will not work , however , they do appear to be standard width and fit my exist set perfectly . look great and appear to be of high quality especially at this price point . ship be free and fast . highly recommend . +428 Dumbbell POS 5 this be so much better than the adjustable weight . I would recommend get set of 2 different weight instead . they just feel a lot more solid in hand and do not have that `` shake around '' feeling . they also do not smell weird like some other weight I have use . +27 Dumbbell NEU 3 the shake weight be a good workout to use to keep a basic muscle tone , great for older folk like I that do not want to bulk up , I be not sure that it would be as good as free weight in the long term , but I be not a fitness guru either , the extreme workout dvd be not as great as I be expect it to be , in fact I be dissapoint with it ! +125 Dumbbell POS 5 a true must-have for the bowflex selecttech weight - save you back , let you roll they away into storage , and be especially useful when you want to change weight quickly ! instruction be really very simple , but get the screw tighten require some sweat . +865 Dumbbell POS 5 as long as you can get past what it look like , the shakeweight be a great product that actually work . be you go to turn into a bodybuilder , no. . however , after just a week or so of do the 6 minute dvd , I be definitely tone to the point where it be noticeable and my arm definitely have contour that they do not before use it . for $ 30 and 6 min a day this be a slam dunk . Fair warn though , they be 6 intense minute . +127 Dumbbell POS 5 perhaps the company receive enough complaint and fix they instruction . there be three page , with picture . installation be straightforward as long as I follow along with the picture . I make a few mistake -lrb- like think that `` left '' mean `` leave while look forward '' -rrb- , but the picture clearly show that they mean `` leave look at the front of the stand '' . when complete , the stand be obviously very strong , and the wheel allow for easy movement . +633 Dumbbell POS 4 pro- good weight set , save a great deal of space , fairly comfortable to use . con - difficult to adjust if not on stand +427 Dumbbell POS 5 I be skeptical of whether or not the product would measure up to the hype , and I be pleasantly surprise . I see result after as little as a week . I have be use it for a little more than a month now , only do the basic six minute workout and the definition and muscle gain have exceed expectation . at first , the exercise be a little difficult but the more you do they , obviously the easier they get . for as much effort as you have to put into it , you get more than double the result . I know this be a little redundant but I be always concern about review and I want this one to really assure you . for the price , I would definitely buy it again , if I ever have to . +788 Dumbbell POS 5 I use this after a workout at the gym it give my chest and arm a good burn . I do not think this could be you only form or exercise . but it do work and for the little bit of money compare to other think it be a good bang for you buck +708 Dumbbell POS 5 you first impression be that this be a gimmick . but my Brother get one , and like it , and I read the Amazon review before order . watch the quick video and do the six minute workout . I be a construction worker and do dirt biking on the weekend . I be use to strain but not totally buff . it be hard to come back from work and think about work out sometimes . Thought , at least I could squeeze in a workout , even while watch a movie . the six minute workout be great and I could really feel it the next day . you can pretty much do this workout anywhere and at anytime . anyone can handle six minute of strain . I be totally convince that this will keep you tone if you keep up with the workout . you may even get buff if you do extend workout . +775 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy these when I want to start work out again . call on my past excuse -lrb- the gym too far , take too long to get there , in , out , and back , et al -rrb- , I know the most effective way to tackle that be to bring what I could to I . also , I live in a apartment so any and all concept of build a actual gym , couple with the fact that I do not waltz around lighting cigar with $ 100 bill , lead I to find a solution . and that solution ? powerblock ! while obviously not provide a full gym , you can do a lot with free weight and cheap weight bench that you can tuck away somewhere . not only be these effectively cheaper than buy a entire set of weight , they be not incline to punch a hole through the floor , annoying my downstairs neighbor and eliminate any hope for my security deposit . they can also be easily stow away behind the couch , under the desk , or wherever you can fit two 45 lb dumbbell . the one and only complaint I have for they be that they do not have a 2.5 jump -lrb- 22.5 , 32.5 , etc -rrb- but they can do 7.5 . I know I be nit pick here but it be nice when you be push to not have to jump 5 lb . also , you can max they out fairly quick with thing like press make it necessary in no time to throw down for the expander set . other than that , though , they have be the best fitness investment I could make ! if you or anyone you know want to find a easy solution to bring the gym home , I would recommend these over any equipment out there . +655 Dumbbell POS 5 consistent with other hex head dumbell . good grip . arrive in good shape , so to speak , and in a timely manner . I plan to return for the next higher weight in a few month . +559 Dumbbell POS 5 why spend a couple hundred buck for a dumbbell rack that do not do anything but hold you dumbbell ? for less than a hundred buck this item be great . it be quick and easy to set up , I have all the piece that it be suppose to have and it do exactly as it be suppose to -lrb- sit in the corner of my garage and hold weight -rrb- . what more can I ask for ? +129 Dumbbell POS 4 this be a great product - quality and value be superb . just a bit `` bulky '' , but better than have 200 dumbbell in you home . the only `` imperfection '' be that you have to be careful not to hit yourself in the face with the corner . I do not hit , but you do have to be mindful when you do maneuver around you head . +209 Dumbbell POS 5 I be not usually sway by these `` as see on tv product '' but I must say that I be quite pleased with this purchase . once the exercise be carefully do , result will be yours ! I be pregnant so I have not try out all the exercise but so far I be pleased . +18 Dumbbell NEU 3 product be of good quality . display image be mislead . you be only pay for one weight ... not two !? +639 Dumbbell POS 5 have work out at several gym for the past 2 year or so , these be the most versatile dumbbell I have encounter . now that I be in graduate school , I do not have as much time to drive to the gym , so I make a little home gym and add these to my collection . these weight be AMAZING . at first , I be a bit skeptical of the idea of square dumbbell , but the shape do not interfere with most exercise that you 'll be do . honestly , within 2 day , I be about to set the weight on these dumbbell within seconds . simply slide the pin in and out . I find these far more convenient than have a whole set of traditional dumbbell . I definitely recommend this product . +486 Dumbbell POS 5 the stand make move the weight around easy , which mean for clean purpose , you do not have to worry about have to lift heavy dumbbell to get around they . the stand look very fancy and would make a appealing addition to any home gym . it also allow you to pick up and put down the weight easily without risk a injury to you back . I highly recommend this purchase . give the price and the Amazon prime eligibility , this deal be better than any other deal available . +774 Dumbbell POS 5 the product really work , especially for my biceps , triceps , trap , and deltoid . I feel the burn in my core and chest as well , but the workout seem to work better for support muscle . +366 Dumbbell POS 5 great Dumbell rack . I be suprise at the quality for the price ... Walt +648 Dumbbell POS 4 the PowerBlock dumbbell set be great for someone like I who live in a apartment and have limit space . I get a full range of motion and the pin stay in place very securely so I never worry about have the weight above my head . sometimes the weight get stick when lower they into the unused plate , but if you keep it straight when you lower it there be no problem . I think the carpet allow they to move so I may get the tray or get some kind of hard surface to keep they from tilt . otherwise a great product that perform perfectly ! recommend : PowerBlock Personal Set Tray +883 Dumbbell POS 5 I too be very skeptical that anything could make you much stronger in just 6 minute a day . follow along with the man 's version dvd actually take 9 minute . wife and I do the workout together 2-3 time per week and I be use the man 's weight 5 time total each week and have be do so now for 5 week . we both agree that the dvd in the man 's weight be much better . man . . do not believe in any review that foolishly tell you to save a few buck and just buy the woman 's weight . unless you have absolutely no arm\/shoulder strength at all , the lighter weight will be a true waste of money . I buy the woman 's product first and it be way too easy and I be no big muscle type . even though I use both a Weider Crossbow and a Trimax machine 2-3 time per week year round , this amazing little gizmo have give I substantial strength gain especially in my shoulder . there be 4 basic exercise and all four heavily utilize the shoulder . as a runner for 42 year , I have marked increase in power in my armswing and as any runner know , when the arm die ... the leg soon follow . the tv add may look a little silly but the Shake Weight really do work and it only take 9 measly minute out of you likely busy day . try it several time and follow the proper form on the dvd and you will be totally impressed ... first by the amazing burn you 'll feel in such a short time , and then by the eventual strength gain . +345 Dumbbell POS 5 not much too say other than this be exactly what I expect . it be a solid platform for hold the SelectTech dumbbell . it have a small footprint , be very sturdy , and look nice too . on a side note , not sure why so many reviewer complain about the instruction . maybe nautilus have update they recently , but I find the instruction very easy to follow -- not nearly as complex as some of the ikea furniture I have put together in the past . +439 Dumbbell POS 4 once you get this stand together , it be great -- look good and be the perfect height for the 552 selecttech . but boy , be it a pain to put together ! the include allen wrench and hex wrench be very cheap and make it difficult to put any serious torque on the screw . and yes , some of the hole be drill just a little bit off-center , so it take some muscle to tighten they . I bust my knuckle a few time , but get a great workout before I have a chance to use the dumbbell . +16 Dumbbell POS 4 Perfect ... I be look for a weight set for my small apartment . . and I love the feel of the weight in my hand too . this set be so well-priced . buy with confidence . arrive ahead of the schedule and I take advantage of the `` free with Super Saver '' offer -lrb- saving over $ 30 in shipping !! -rrb- . +917 Dumbbell POS 5 I have not use the shake weight a ton yet but I think it will definitely work . it take a lot of effort to shake it . it be a lot harder than I think it would be . yeah , it be not go to work you whole body , but I think it will do some good for you arm . and , it be fairly inexpensive and do not take up much room . +408 Dumbbell POS 5 the dumbell rack be very easy to assemble use a rachet wrench & a cresent wrench . it be very sturdy and of very good quality . I recommend this rack if you only use dumbell set up to maybe about 50 lb . there be not enough room for heavier set of dumbell . I will soon buy a second rack for my 60-100 lb . dumbell and it will be the same Apex Deluxe Rack that I be describe here . sincerely , E. Flynt of Cleveland , Ohio +75 Dumbbell POS 5 I notice that some reviewer -lrb- the one rating the PowerBlocks the lowest -rrb- be talk about a completely different model . this set do not have `` interior weight '' and you do not remove weight in the handle to switch between any weight and the next one you want . with this set , all you ever do be slip the pin from one weight to the next . for p90x it be good to be able to change weight fast , so this be a good set to get . also , the weight range be great and will perfectly suit almost every excercise , except you may have to do a few extra rep on the row -lrb- `` lawnmower '' -rrb- . the set be as compact as dumbell of the same weight , so you can do curl without bang you leg . if you pick a lighter powerblock weight , the weight be shorter , more compact , than a bigger weight , just as regular dumbell would be -- unlike other brand where you still have a long handle with a tiny weight . other PowerBlock model do use handle weight which can slow thing down , and be not the best pick for p90x . you can identify these set by they description , or by the picture which will show the include , silver , cylindrical add-in weight . my own set be a older model that go 5-50 lb in 5 lb increment . in any case a adjustable set be very economical . regular dumbell cost around $ 1.20 a pound -lrb- gray , tube handle -rrb- or $ 2.20 a pound -lrb- black , rubber coated , shaped handle -rrb- . so a set go from 5 to 45 pound in 5 pound increment would run $ 550 - $ 1000 a set . nevertheless , if you have both space and money , a complete set of regular dumbell be the best , safest , fastest , and most flexible of all . I have a full set at one house , and a powerblock at the other . they both do the trick . +25 Dumbbell POS 5 I number of the review note that this thing be very difficult to put together . I do not find that to be the case at all . follow the direction and it be a snap . well , maybe not a snap , it take I 45 minute while I be watch tv . one great piece of advice that come from another review be crucial . there be three different set of bolt that be very close in length . Make sure you line these bolt up and use the correct length for each use . if you blow it here it could be a very long , frustrating operation . perhaps this be where people be go wrong with this rack ? if you have the Bowflex barbell , you really should get this rack . +192 Dumbbell NEU 3 I also buy these for use with the ChaLean Extreme program , by Beachbody , which require a lot of weight change througout the workout . they work sufficiently for lifting and for basic exercise . the quick change option be really nice and there be a diverse amount of weight . I would not call this the highest quality product though . they seem flimsy for be close to $ 200 . I be always a little afraid that the pin be go to slip out and cause a injury . +725 Dumbbell POS 5 upon a fluke from Amazon I receive two of these . not a problem . I be use 5lb weight and want to increase the weight amount but be not sure if I should get 7lb or 8lb , but I be happy with this purchase . next time I 'll probably opt for 10lb . grip be good , they do not really slide around in you hand even if you hand be sweaty . there be a nice feel to they overall -lrb- they sit well in my hand -rrb- . I 'll probably be back to the CAP area to buy 10lb soon ! +969 Dumbbell POS 5 I have a whole set of these , from 10 pounder to 45 pounder . they be a great fitness aid , as they be immensely portable and can be use in any room of the house , while watch tv , or next to you computer desk . there be a wealth of exercise one can do with simple dumbell : curl , bent rowing , overhead extension , etc. . if you have a bench , there be even more . believe it or not , a home body builder can get a pretty decent workout from a limited set of these dumbell . they be relatively cheap compare to other brand . I recommend they . Jim `` Konedog '' Koenig +293 Dumbbell NEG 1 this be a BIG disappointment . as soon as I get it out of the box I repack it to return . do not waste you time and money ! +222 Dumbbell POS 4 I have have these for a while now , and for the most part , I like they . they be a reasonable compromise between individual weight dumbbell and other , more expensive , adjustable weight . it be easy to select the desire weight and with a maximum of 24 pound per dumbell , you can get a good amount of resistance for most common dumbbell exercise . the minor complaint I have be that they could have a bit more room between the rod that connect the weight disc , as my knuckle can sometime rub against they unless I hold it in just a certain way , and also it be not always easy to get the weight selector `` thingie '' in the right place . other than that , a far less expensive option than Bowflex . +407 Dumbbell POS 4 assembly be very simple . I see several rack with the same dumbbell capacity with a much higher list price so this be be a good value . plus , I finally get my dumbbell off the floor so my home gym look great ! +626 Dumbbell POS 5 after read some of the review , I be concern that put this together would be a pain , but I enter cautiously , make sure to keep the 2.5 inch bolt separate from the 2.75 inch bolt and the 3 inch bolt , then just follow the direction make sure to use the correct piece . construction really take only about 45 minute . I be one who usually do not follow direction during assembly , or at least use they as a last resort , but after read the review , I decide to follow they this time and construction be a breeze . do not let the other review scare you away . now for the stand ... very solid , perfect height . you do not want to have to pick 50 pound off the floor , so these stand be essential to save you back . I be tall -lrb- 6 ' 3 '' -rrb- , and the height be perfect . I have no worry that the stand will last forever . the weight be awesome too ! if you be serious about work out , invest in this and you will not regret it . +484 Dumbbell POS 4 my boyfriend and I have be talk about get the shake weight ... well we do . he get I the women -lrb- they do not have man 's in stock at Walmart -rrb- . I use it lastnigth more as a joke and like it . I actually use it for 8 minute today . I do one minute on each arm then 6 hold it with two hand ... I find I have to alternate hand and I feel the burn . muscle I do not know I have , lol . after read review I be go to keep it up and watch how I use it so I do not have any pain in my already bad back ... but versus lift weight and even push up I feel all my muscle . so after day one love it ... but will continue and hope I be one of those user that continue to love it and see result . I need to add I just pick it up and use it ... way easier then get all my work out equipment out just talk to my four year old and before I know it I be do ... boy be I count down . +521 Dumbbell POS 5 I have only be use this product for 3 day and I already see some definition in my bicept muscle and feel tighter in my arm and chest . I recommend this to people who take they fitness seriously and want fast result . +686 Dumbbell POS 5 I be one of the people who heavily rely on review but I never write they , I do not know why but I have never write review in the past . after use these dumbbell I have to make a exception . these dumbbell be great especially in a small space , I live in a apartment and I do not have room for a whole rack of weight so I find these on amazon . I recieve they in about a week and I instantly start use they with p90x . you can switch the weight quickly which be a huge benefit when you be do any type of workout that be on a dvd or tape . they look a little awkward and they build be obviously different than a standard dumbbell but I have not have any problem with the different move on p90x . if I have to pick something I do not like , I would have to say that I do not like how much noise they make . let I explain that , the dumbbell be very solid but when you be do something like shoulder press , for example , I get a little nervous put these thing over my head because the plate `` clang '' together . it be something you get use to though , oh and one more thing when you put the pen inside the powerblock to choose a weight make sure the next plate in line do not stick to the weight you select . I pick 35 lb for one workout and the 40 lb . plate be stick to the bottom and I do not know it until the plate hit the floor , luckily I still have all my toe . well again these weight be great and I highly , highly , highly recommend these weight for someone that have a small space to put they and for someone that be do p90x . +233 Dumbbell POS 5 like most bowflex equipment , it be well design , and be very easy to assemble . it hold the SelectTech weight perfectly , and look nice too . this be a must-have if you own the SelectTech weight . +394 Dumbbell POS 5 when this arrive and I put it together I be pleasantly surprise at how nice look the unit be , better than it look from the picture . it be solid also and I have no complaint . and as someone else mention , it be really less expensive than equivalent unit . I recommend this piece . +638 Dumbbell NEU 3 have be look in place for this product . see it at someone 's house and want it because it be a great way of keep the weight and store of they when not in use . so be very happy to find it and be good quality to boot . +11 Dumbbell POS 4 it be a nice rack for dumbbell and easy to assemble . the only complaint I have be the distance between rail be fix and my light weight do not span the distance . they should add a extra set of hole to allow for that . +296 Dumbbell POS 5 I be go to get the Select Tech 's but I be glad I do not . these be amazing ! I have so much fun with they several time a week with my ChaLEAN Extreme workout . they be half the price and the warranty be many year longer than the Select Tech 's . I be very glad a friend persuade I to get these . +544 Dumbbell NEG 1 if you be like I and want to buy this dumbbell because of its great commercial , please be aware that it be total waste . I buy it not for shake weight but for my every day exercise . absolutely no result and you feel like a retard every time shake it and hope it would do something . although it be hard to shake in the beginning , it do not do anything to the body that you see in commercial . +249 Dumbbell POS 4 the first few time we see this commercial on tv , my husband and I laugh we butt off at the motion you have to use the product in , as it look like a certain sexual favor be be perform . out curiosity though , I end up get one for free and I be shock to admit , it actually work ! it 's real simple to use and within 3 minute you can already feel it work ! definitely a keeper and so glad I give it a try rather than write it off due to the silly advertisement ! +485 Dumbbell POS 4 I love the stand . the instruction be easy to follow and I have this together in about a hour while watch tv . I like the fact that the stand can be use with or without wheel for mobility . very well make and no complaint here ! -lrb- ... -rrb- . +746 Dumbbell POS 4 this only take I 45 min to setup and be straightforward . the only reason I gve 4 star be it be pricey for what it be , but be good relief for back and quick p90x weight change . +581 Dumbbell POS 5 I be ready to buy this set of classic powerblock on Amazon but then I find out that there be a newer version available for less at local retailer . the PowerBlock Sport 5.0 set -lrb- $ 299 -rrb- be essentially the same as the Class PowerBlock set but with a few improvement -lrb- extra 5lb of weight , better grip , sturdier lock , etc. -rrb- . here be the description from the official Powerblock website : `` the Sport Series be the third generation of PowerBlocks new in June of 2008 . the Sport Series consist of 4 model of PowerBlocks with unique difference in both form & function . as far as form go , the dramatic change would be the Gray color of the steel weight plate vs. the black weight plate of other PowerBlock model and the round shaped top of the weight plate offer a stylish look . as far as function difference , the Sport Series have taper handle , double tethered selector pin -lrb- not on the Sport 2.4 -rrb- , the wrist support be of a more open design offer a larger handle cavity and the dial lock be recess into the handle . '' with that out of the way , I 'll give a quick review . I just finish my first round of p90x classic use a combination of resistance band and light hexagon dumbbell -lrb- 10lb pair and 15lb pair -rrb- . I try hard to like the band but get tire of constantly change they for more resistance and the buckle end of get in the way too often . I then switch to dumbbell but those be too light for what I need so I end up tone instead of add muscle mass . I decide to go with the PowerBlocks and could not be happier with the decision . I try they out in the store first and right away I know it be a worthwhile purchase . they be well-built , relatively small for have such a blocky design , have a easy-to-use yet reliable lock mechanism , and feel great to handle . I have use they for a variety of p90x video and have not have any issue . the only very minor annoyance be that the plate clank a bit but I get use to it quickly and it be not a issue . other than that , I love everything about they and I be look forward to start round 2 of p90x with they soon ! +823 Dumbbell NEG 2 this shakeweight do not work at all . 6 minute a day , no way ! if you be look for a workout , do not waste you money on this ! +910 Dumbbell POS 5 I just start the Chalean Extreme workout program and this set of dumbbell be perfect for the routine !! the weight be compact and easy to use . and the best part be they take up very little room in you home . +773 Dumbbell POS 5 I have only be use the shake weight for a few day , but I can already tell it be work . I can feel a really good burn in my arm and shoulder while I be do the 6 minute dvd , which tell I I be work muscle that I do not usually use . the dvd that come with it go so fast and the instructor keep you motivate to keep go . ca not wait to see the result I can already feel ! +594 Dumbbell NEG 1 one end pop out the spring , make it lop-sided and unable to be use . that only happen after use it maybe a total of 3 time . it be a shame too because it be start to work under my arm -- I could feel it . guess i 'll have to return it now , dang it . not worth the hassle . I should have just get it from the drugstore here , Rite Aid , for the same price . return it to they would be less of a hassle than do it through the mail . +431 Dumbbell POS 5 I purchase these to supplement my gym workout . I be very busy and some week I only get to gym 1 or 2 time per week . I also have a weekend home in the pocono that do not have a gym readily accessible . I have be use these for 2 week and they be very easy to use . the only issue I have with they be that it can be difficult to get clip onto correct ridge for weight selection but it be not overly annoying . the weight work well be balanced nicely and there be multiple way to hold they for various exercise . I have just purchase the bow flex weight bench to use with these because they be so nice that I would consider work out at home full time . another problem I have with these be try to find the weight plate to expand they to 90lb . I would appreciate if someone can send a link of where I can get they . enjoy these as they be really excellent +108 Dumbbell POS 4 buy this as a gag gift for Christmas . it be funny and worth it . seem to actually work ok though . +239 Dumbbell POS 5 these be a gift for my wife for Christmas . they work great as it keep she do something else besides nagging I . great product +120 Dumbbell POS 4 Easy to use and not too heavy to handle . this really be good for woman of all age since it be light weight but heavy enough to give you a workout . +628 Dumbbell POS 5 I learn of the shake weight initially through Youtube video -- Ellen Degeneres and other talk show host have a field day poke fun at the commercial -- which indeed be very humorous and uncomfortable . my husband buy I one initially as a gag gift , but when I try it I actually `` feel the burn '' so to speak . I stick with use it out of sheer curiosity -lrb- it be a humbling exercise , that be for sure -rrb- and now I have only the shake weight to thank for my `` Michelle Obama arm . '' I be certainly consider invest in one for the husband . +95 Dumbbell NEG 1 this be a joke ! if you do not want to ever really workout or ever build a single muscle than this be for you ! come on people !! please !! if you do not want to workout or get in shape , spend you money on food !!!! not something that simply make you feel like you be do something and make someone else rich !! what be next ... 3 second ab ???!!! +656 Dumbbell POS 5 I work at a desk and do not get much outdoor exercise . I be also a germaphobe which make do anything like push up mentally challenging . so I have be look for a alternative to keep my upper body in shape . when I first see this on tv , the concept they explain make perfect sense to I , with my limited knowledge in science and the human body so I go and pick one up . the result have be exactly as expect . it be not a body builder work out , but for keep the average Joe in shape , it work just fine , as long as you understand that it be mean ONLY for the upper body . it be ideal to use this in addition to a lower body work out like jogging and stretch . a word of warning , if you be very out of shape , this thing will break you in under 6 minute . if you already engage in sport or manual labor , then this should not be much challenge . if you have a desk job and be not involve in any athletic activity , then do not expect to be able to do the full 6 minute work out at first . you 'll eventually get it though . as other have state , it will not make you a body builder , but it will get you in to shape if you actually follow the routine . +612 Dumbbell POS 5 I start the p90x workout a few week ago and begin use the rubber resistance band . however , when I switch to this set of weight the workout become much more challenging . I highly recommend these over the band if possible . change weight be a snap so you can easily keep up with the video . the product feel solid and high quality . yes , there be a price premium for the Powerblocks but they be much quicker than change plate weight and they take up much less room than a set of dumbbell . highly recommend . no offense to Amazon , but due to ship cost , try to buy they locally if you can . I pay $ 269 + tax for the Sport 5.0 set which cover 5-50 pound in 5 pound increment . unless you be a bodybuilder , this weight will cover all the exercise in p90x . and the Sport series can be upgrade to 65 pound if you really must have it . +658 Dumbbell POS 4 the weight be wonderful with a grippy coating for sweaty hand . the stand arrive broken and be a bit flimsy . I prefer to keep the weight on the floor anyways . +834 Dumbbell NEG 1 go to use for the first time and it fall apart . try to fix but do not work the same . very poorly make or get a faulty one . would not recommend to anyone . +647 Dumbbell POS 4 I use this product for a little more than half a year before I decide to stop . I truly do feel the burn from the workout , but there be just too many con and I have no significant result even though I use the product for such a long time with workout that last even longer than the 6 minute they recommend . pro : 1 -rrb- the exercise on the dvd be very easy to follow and it include a timer to indicate when to stop . 2 -rrb- you will most likely get sore after the first several day , indicate that you muscle be in fact be work -lrb- not necessarily get result -rrb- . 3 -rrb- the dumbbell have groove on both end to facilitate you handle for the shoulder exercise -lrb- see # 5 in con for handle for triceps and biceps -rrb- . 4 -rrb- no battery ! I think most people assume the shake function be electrical . 5 -rrb- if you buy this directly from the manufacturer , you get a 100 % money-back guarantee , include the shipping and handle cost to send it back . they refund the purchase price of the weight almost immediately . con : 1 -rrb- the dvd be certainly not a $ 15 value . the dvd contain only 3 exercise limit to 3 upper muscle : triceps , biceps , and shoulder all within 6 minute . 2 -rrb- for 6 minute a day , I find the workout to be too easy . I be average-build and I have to work at least 15 minute before I start to get tired . 3 -rrb- the dumbbell itself be very noisy , especially if you be try to get a more intense workout by shake the weight more vigorously . you can even hear the noise when you be watch the exercise on the dvd . additionally , I would often be interrupted several time to keep the noise down from the weight . 4 -rrb- towards the end of you workout , the dumbbell will start to slip out of you hand because the palm of you hand start to sweat . as a result , I have to stop my workout a couple of time to readjust the weight . 5 -rrb- exercise during the triceps and bicep exercise be very awkward . you have to wrap one hand around the middle of the weight during these exercise , but it be difficult to hold on to the middle while you be shake . therefore , the weight be design more for shoulder exercise . 6 -rrb- I be sorry to say this , but I definitely look ridiculous when use this product . you would not believe how many people have laugh at I . therefore , you can only use this product if you be by yourself . 7 -rrb- in term of the money-back guarantee if purchase it from the manufacturer , you have to personally make the initiative to contact they and have they refund you for the shipping . unlike the refund for the product , they have still yet to refund I for shipping and handling . +176 Dumbbell POS 5 I love this product ! , be easy to use ! , when you finish you workout you be not hurt but you can feel you muscle work ! , be compact ! , and in my case as a mom of 3 kid 6 min of free be actually possible , I do strongly recommend +37 Dumbbell NEU 3 so , I think this shake on it be own -lrb- well , with the help of battery -rrb- but it do not . I read the review and see other people who say the same thing but I think , maybe they just do not figure out how to turn it on . I be wrong . obviously we be not the only people to think it shake on it be own because the people of Shake Weight have they own website explain how to make it shake ... call ` howtoshakeit.com ' so , if you do not believe I -lrb- or think I just do not know how to turn it on -rrb- go to that website . it seem like the weight and the shake part of it probably do help with you muscle and everything but it also seem like , if you hold a regular weight very loosely -lrb- allow it to slide between you hand -rrb- and shake it like you would the shake weight , that probably work about as well . they suggest you do it for 6 minute a day -lrb- which sound easy -rrb- but for beginner , that be nearly impossible , as the weight really do work you muscle . if you buy the weight new , it come with a short video with a 6 minute workout and if you watch it , you see that the lady who do the video do not even seem like she can do the whole 6 minute straight , as the lesson do not seem to be one continuous shot but clip paste together to make a complete 6 minute video -lrb- if that make sense -rrb- . if you have get the money to spend for a ` special ' dumbbell , then go ahead and buy this . but if you be think it be go to be some kind of miracle worker , I do not think it be . I highly recommend you try shake a regular dumbbell first and see if that help you muscle because , like I say , that be basically what this do . I be a little disappointed . +796 Dumbbell POS 4 I purchase the SelectTech Dumbbell stand at the same time I purchase my bowflex selecttech 552 dumbbell with the number of time I change the weight on the dumbbell the stand make this a breeze . well worth the investment . I have see some review that say the assembly instruction be difficult to understand and follow , but mine include a easy to follow booklet that contain a explode diagram plus several detail page with easy to follow step . it take about 30 minute to set up mostly due to the number of bolt require to put it together . the construction be solid and sturdy . I only give it a 4 out of 5 since the wheel -lrb- optional -rrb- be basically useless if you be try to move the stand and the weight on carpet . for the most part I just keep they in one place so it be not much of a issue . +478 Dumbbell POS 5 guy this be a solid dumbbell rack and a deal for the price . well package and solid when build . no worry as this tight rack can handle the weight . I give this five star for quality and value . the only very minor ding I will give it be the bottom channel of each tier be not very deep and the larger dumbbell hold on solid but catch the hex dumbbell on one if the inner angle . the dumbbell be still secure but not rest on the flat portion of the dumbbell . if the channel be about a inch deeper the larger dumbbell would rest on the flat side . Ok for you rubber hex people here be what you can put on this rack . I have 20 's ,25 's and 30 's on the top rack and they barely make it on . tight but manageable . I have 35 's and 40 's on the second rack with some room . you could possibly squeeze only one 45 on this second rack but you would not have enough room to carry the third rack . so I have 45 's and 50 's on the bottom rack again with some room . that be about it if you be buy rubber hex from 20-50lbs .20 -50 lb be right and anymore will not fit . something to consider be that the lowest rack be pretty low and if you have the space you may be better off with a two tier so you do not tingle the spine so much when you bend over . if you be tight for space like I , this be the way to go and for a steal of a price . +414 Dumbbell POS 5 I have read so many negative review and positive review . if you can return something , why would you listen to other people . find out for yourself . I buy it one month ago and I can not believe my eye . my flabby arm be become tone and I have not even get to the six minute a day . the tricep workout be so hard . I plan on use the one for woman until it become too easy . after that , I will buy the man 's Shake Weight . it be the first thing to ever work . +671 Dumbbell POS 5 we love the new exercise shaker and would higher recommend this product to anyone interested in do easy exercise workout . well worth the money for this product . +766 Dumbbell POS 5 it work well , first time when I get the expensive weight set . couple month later , I think about my money not to waste on my health . so I deceide to find something that work and fast also cheaper ! +990 Dumbbell POS 5 dumbell be great , and the result show well . the side chip off a bit if bang together a little . but the product be good and recommend if you be look to workout you arm . +609 Dumbbell POS 5 this be a excellent product if you want to feel you muscle burn in you arm and upper body in a very short time . you have to learn to not grip the Shakeweight tightly . just let it rest on you palm and shake . there be not that many position for hold it . but then how many different way can you hold and move a dumbbellt ? so start shake and count to 30 . if you can get to 30 in each position , you be do pretty well . if you can count longer , you have get really strong arm . when you hold the Shakeweight in front of you parallel to you body with both hand , you actually work you entire body include you leg since you be shake you entire body . enjoy it ! the Shakeweight be definitely a excellent product and worth the price . and you can feel the heat in you arm for quite some time after you complete you set . it pump you up . +635 Dumbbell POS 5 I purchase this stand to use with my SelectTech 1090 dumbbell , and it be a perfect complement to the dumbbell . assembly of the stand be simple and straightforward -lrb- despite other review -rrb- , and can be do relatively quickly -lrb- there be only 9 separate component to it -rrb- . the only tool you 'll need to assemble the stand -lrb- that be not include with it -rrb- be a 9\/16-inch wrench or socket . the stand come with a set of rubber foot to hold it firmly in place , but it also come with a set of castor that you can use instead , if you feel you 'll need to roll it from one spot to another . once it be assemble , it be solid and firm , even with two 90-pound dumbbell sit in they rack on it . it hold the dumbbell at a comfortable height , and be much better than bend all the way down to the floor . it do come with a 30-year warranty , but since there be really no move part or anything to wear out , I expect that it will probably last longer than that . +78 Dumbbell NEG 1 useless . very disappointing product . I try to like it , but find that it do absolutely nothing for someone like I who do even simple exercise on my arm five day a week . I use it several time figure I must be do something wrong , but even after get the hang of it , my muscle do not feel like they be work any differently or harder than exercise such as bicep curl or tricep kickback with light hand weight . this be a waste of money and I throw it away . +783 Dumbbell POS 5 this be a heavy duty , well construct dumbell stand for use with my selecttech dumbell . you can walk between the dumbbell rack and easily lift the dumbbell off without have to bend over - save wear and tear on the lower back . the lock wheel allow for easy repositioning or to move out of the way when finish with a workout . highly recommend ! +404 Dumbbell POS 4 I think my son be kid when he say he want one of these thing , but get it anyway . boy be I surprise . all these people that say they think its false advertising be wrong . if you be do it correctly it kick you butt , and bad ! oh yeah im 46 and my shoulder be start to give I fit . after 2 week use the shake weight , my shoulder have quit hurt ! and as far as low-impact go ... yes its very easy on the joint . I will keep use it and just keep increase my time on it ! love it !!!!!! if you not one for hard work , then dont buy it . +42 Dumbbell POS 4 get two 15lb weight and they be wonderful. , over construction feel good and value be very high . only con be that the handle should have rubber grip , they be kinda rough and textured but hurt hand after a while . +953 Dumbbell POS 5 I 'll keep this simple . the weight themselves be weighty . the cover make they easy to hold , and exercise with they be fine . I have absolutely nothing negative to say about they . the stand be basic plastic , but be sturdy and do a fine job of hold the weight in a compact manner . come with a extra screw too , in case one vanish . if you be look for a basic lightweight set like I be , you can not go wrong here . +673 Dumbbell NEG 1 poorly make in china with cheap plastic . Broke 5 minute into the first use . very disappoint . I like the idea of the shake bell . Wish to find another brand for this . +976 Dumbbell NEU 3 I guess I be be a bit petty but here go . I order two-three pound weight . the weight be both 3 lb as expect . however , they be blue but totally different color of blue . as I say , I be probably be petty but when I order something I expect it to be the same as I would purchase in a store . therein lie the reason for a rating of 3 . +644 Dumbbell NEG 2 do not find the Shake Weight to be helpful . the spring be too stiff and the weight be too light to get any shake motion . it only function with the user arm in a horizontal position in front of the body . I do not find it helpful for any purpose . +101 Dumbbell POS 4 this set look good . at this price I recommend it . a little too big but it do what it say it do . +872 Dumbbell POS 5 well build , powder coating finish look 's great . all part wrap and easy to put together 25 minute . Dumbbell 's easy to get on and off rack do to design . +49 Dumbbell POS 5 well build dumbbell stand for the SelectTech dumbbell . the unit be well construct and have well write direction that make it easy to assemble . I would highly recommend this dumbbell stand as it can save some back strain especially when use heavier weight . +227 Dumbbell NEG 1 I should have know better . most of the junk you see on `` as see on tv stuff '' be junk . make a great paper weight ! +317 Dumbbell NEU 3 I be give the product a 3 . I be disappointed in they . they be bulky , which be probably typical for this type of weight . the pin snag on my shorts when do curl next to my body . you can not hold they with two hand so I can not do one of my favorite lift with they -lrb- over the head drop weight to back of neck and up -rrb- . I put they on a cushion chair instead of buy the stand and it be hard to change the weight on anything even a little soft . you can not move a weight from the left hand to right hand without sit it down first . just little thing that I do not think of . they be nonreturnable . +826 Dumbbell POS 5 I be hesitant to buy a shakeweight at first because of the joke and such around the way the workout look . I have a lot of time to spare this summer , so I decide to buy a shake weight . it be only $ 15 , so what do I have to lose ? I have a gym membership , so I do have access to ton of machine designate for my arm . my only problem be I do not have any idea how all those machine work , and it be embarass try to figure it out at the gym . so I need a quick workout for my arm , for triceps , biceps , shoulder , etc. . I have be use the shake weight for about a week now , and I really like it . 6 minute be very long for I at first , but it be get better . the routine be easy to remember and I do it while watch tv . shake the weight correctly be a lot harder than it look , but do not give up ! it be definitely worth it , and it be a great buy for less than $ 20 . +52 Dumbbell POS 5 I order this and its great and can be use in so many way . ithought it be battery operate but nope . so dont have to worry about run to the store time after for battery , i recommend this if you be tryng to build up they biceps ! +646 Dumbbell POS 5 Ok , its a dumbbell rack so overall it be pretty simple . it be easy to put together and be very solid . Make sure to pay attention to the dimension as it be important to ensure it fit where you want it and that it will hold the dumbbell you have . I be use for nine set of dumbbell and there be extra room ... I have set of 2 -lrb- 5-lb , 8-lb , 10-lb , 12-lb , 15-lb , 20-lb , 25-lb , 40-lb , and 50-lb -rrb- . even with those , I be balance a 8 lb workout ball on the top rack and use for 2 additional olumpic dumbbell that I use for odd weight . the olympic dumbbell do not fit easily on this and kind of hang over the edge , but it at least get they of the floor . this be NOT mean as a negative , because this rack be not make for those size dumbbell . I find the extra room useful . I think this be a great purchase , although I do find one on sale at Sports Authority the follow week and if I be able to use a additional coupon there it would have be slightly less expensive . however , this be deliver directly to my door and I do not have to go to the store , and even if I be able to combine the sale and coupon I would have only save approx . $ 5-8 . for the ease of purchase through Amazon , I think it be very worth it . I have now have this for about 3 month and the finish be still hold up . I definitely recommend this product if you have a bunch of dumbbell you want to organize and get off the floor . +384 Dumbbell NEU 3 I expect that this would move a little more as I use it . it feel really stiff \* snort \* and like it do not do too much . I do notice some strain in my muscle after I do the include dvd workout . which be actually pretty surprising . it be not all bad , but I guess I expect more shake type of movement of the actual device as I be shake it . it feel almost like you really have to force out this to move much . ah well , get what you pay for I suppose . +613 Dumbbell POS 4 the Powerblock Classic be a spectacular product . I purchase it as a upgrade from the elastic band for p90x . the incredible range in weight make they perfect for any exercise or fitness level . plus , they have a small footprint , make they a must have for perfect home gym . my only note be that , lay flat on the floor\/mat\/carpet , the weight might shift and sometimes you have to work a bit harder to change weight . this be why the optional stand be tilted at a angle , to ensure the nested weight be in the correct position . instead of buy that , I angle they on a pair of old 15lb hexagon weight , and that provide a workaround for I . +719 Dumbbell NEU 3 this be the most you can get for 100 buck , but that be not say much . very cheap material , smell be not good either . if you can afford it , keep save to get something better . do not get this for p90x . it take forever to change weight , and you fall behind the video or you have to keep pause . +997 Dumbbell POS 5 in the process of set up we little home gym . get a treadmill and these be the first set of weight we purchase . they be so much better than the free weight in gym . the material be solid but have a nice rubber like exterior that be very comfortable to hold , do not cause callus skin on the palm or finger -lrb- major problem I have with the gym 's free weight -rrb- , and they be also sweat absorbent to some extent . the last feature be crucial because it avoid the weight from slip during workout . admittedly these be light weight dumbbell so the chance of they slip be much less . I wish these be available in slightly higher weight category as well . I check several store and they say that these be only available in the lower weight , I guess till around 20 lb or so . +661 Dumbbell POS 5 I purchase the stand from another site - as a factory refurbish item . I be able to save about $ 40 that way , but alas , the stand come with no instruction . I be unable to get a response on obtain the instruction from Bowflex -lrb- in they defense , I grow impatient wait and I do not buy it from they -rrb- . I print a photo of the stand and have often use the zoom feature here on Amazon 's photo to figure out the assembly . it be pretty straight forward - but you do have to be careful which screw you put where . there be several that look the same , but be slightly different in length . in fact , the only problem I have with assembly - I have never use lock nut before and could not figure out how you get those dumb thing on ! but that be a malfunction on my part - not the stand ! I will say , aside from not know how to use a lock nut , I be relatively mechanically orient and find assembly of item very easy . I also enjoy assemble thing and find the assembly without instruction to be a nice brain exercise ! the stand itself be sturdy . it defintely help reduce strain on you lower back - worth the cost if you ask I . I also like the wheel on the bottom so I can move it out of the way from my child . I like the option standard foot though - I can see a time when I would like it to not be move around . but for now , we have to use the wheel . I also like the strap on the stand . I believe they be to keep the plate of the dumbbell in place so that they do not lift when you be lift heavier weight . BUT I have discover they be so simple to remove and re-attach , that I take they up over the dumbbell when not use the weight . this prevent little child from attempt to lift the weight . as I do not have the instruction , not sure if this be intend or recommend , but it work for we . I do not personally use the weight - they be for my husband -lrb- who be out of town for a while - thus why I assemble the stand -rrb- . so I can not comment on the stand during use . +193 Dumbbell POS 5 we own a gym that use a lot of free weight and find this stand and currently own eight of they . it be very easy to put together and be heavy duty and stable . will purchase more when need and would highly recommend ! +190 Dumbbell POS 5 this be a excellent rack for a home gym . it be not as big as some other , but for a home gym with 8-10 set of dumbell it be perfect . the weight be easy to get to and the frame be very stable . +41 Dumbbell NEU 3 it seem from what I have read so far , for many people this product produce some sort of positive result and I will not dispute that . but for the other who write the bad review they word should not be take so lightly or even callously berate . the tv ad be misleading . I do not think anyone expect the weight to shake on its own , `` do the workout for you '' as many critical commenter have claim . but the tv commercial give the illusion that a initial shake must be initiate by the user and some sort of centrifigul method would take over and it would be the responsibility of user to tensely hold the weight use the require muscle need to stabilize it only to find you can not stabilize it , thus cause rapid muscle growth . well it just do not work that way . you have to constantly shake the weight yourself , and I find that a very couterproductive way to permanently build muscle . even in the best of the review nobody really rave about this product so I can not see the logic as to why they rate this 5 or even 4 star . go figure . update 1\/21\/2012 . alright I see this sit on the shelf at Walgreen 's a long time ago and I ignore it . then I go to CVS . on the same day ! again I see one lone Shake Weight for Men sit knee high on the shelf . I walk away . but the thought pursue I . be this fate ? should I buy it or not ? will the person at the register laugh at I ? will it offer some sort of benefit ? so I cave in and buy it . when I get home and open it inside there be a dvd on how to use this thing properly . the goal be to shake the weight vigorously steadily and firmly without wobble it for 30 seconds per exercise . the best I can get be 22 seconds . when you use the Shake Weight properly it will make a whooshing noise . if you hear a kadunk kadunk kadunk you be do it wrong ! as for the benefit themselves , that be just simply go to depend on you own current physical condition . for I I find the Shake Weight to be great for warm up before real exercise or for add a quick firm-up AFTER real exercise . +155 Dumbbell POS 4 nice buy for the cost . nicely package and dumbbell do not smell . the stand be cheap but just have a stand in itself be a nice addition to the dumbbell . not the reason I purchase they in the first place . I would buy again for sure . +892 Dumbbell POS 5 the first order I recieve be miss three shelf and screw that be strip . I notify Amazon and be promptly send a new rack . I purchase this item new but obviously the first item be not . I be a little disappointed that Amazon do not give I some form of credit . in the end I recommend this product . it be sturdy and be easy to assemble . +98 Dumbbell NEG 2 not a surprise for a company build on negative option \/ bait and switch marketing . when assemble the stand , it be clear Bowflex design it with the purpose of require the user to embed the bolt into the nut w\/o thread so that its dissemble be virtually impossible without strip the bolt . basically , you will invest so much time in building \/ take apart this poor excuse for a product that you will never return it -lrb- exactly what they want so they can skimp on quality -rrb- . on a parallel track : I buy the heavier weight after the lighter pair both break -lrb- selector become jam render weight useless -rrb- . avoid at all cost . I be dumb enough to purchase now 3 more product after the first 2 fail . of course , there be a warranty but you be require to pay for shipping . combine that with the time to take out of you day plus shipping 100 + lb , a very small fraction of a large number of unsatisfied consumer will , like I , not find it worth we time . I guess they spend all they money on the infomercial , which leave very little for product . +754 Dumbbell POS 5 I love the SportBlock . it be just the right size to do a variety of exercise and be relatively compact due to the square shape . these dumbbell be easy to manuever and the padded grip be comfortable . in my opinion , they be also the safest design of all the adjustable dumbbell and it be very easy to change weight . the only issue with these block be that you have to be sure to insert the pin level and the pin assembly right side up . if you do not , while it be unlikely something will go wrong , it can . however , there be also a elastic safety mechanism just in case . this would not help you in a overhead triceps press , but it be a very good design and a brief safety check before you do anything over you head will give you about as good a guarantee as you would get with any dumbbell use over the head . also , these thing be rugged and the weight range be good for most people , especially if you use they along with a stability ball . a book that cover some workout that be relatively inexpensive and well do be weight on the Ball Workbook : Step-by-Step Guide with Over 350 Photos if you handle heavier weight than this , then you may not want to work on a ball . also , eventually if you be serious about bodybuilding or put on significant mass , you may want to upgrade to PowerBlock Personal Dumbbell Set many people also like bowflex selecttech 552 dumbbell +986 Dumbbell POS 4 I have be use the shake weight now for about a week and a half . I use it about 5 time a week and have feel a difference in my arm and chest . I have notice toner arm and a difference in my chest muscle . so , for I it do work . the only bad thing be that once you have achieve a certain level you can not more weight . as a recommendation to improve and `` maintain '' tone I would recommend the item . +798 Dumbbell POS 5 I need a range of weight and want a neat way to store they when not in use . see these at a friend 's house and decide to try they . they be great , especially if you be like I and do not care to go to a gym . +524 Dumbbell POS 4 the rack seem solid & well build . just like other , my hardware packet break apart during shipping . and just like other , my outer box have hole in it . you guess it , I be miss hardware . a quick trip to Lowe 's for 7 buck worth of hardware & it be put together in about 20 minute . I would still recommend the rack for the price . just be prepare to make a trip to the hardware store . +895 Dumbbell POS 5 upon weigh the accessibility of the gym near I against the cost of membership , I decide to try figure out what step I can do at home to aid in get start with fitness . I look up some exercise online for dumbbell , and then search Amazon for some starter kit . I be weak . I admit it . so this seem to be the perfect beginner set . the free shipping alone make this a sweet deal . the weight arrive extremely quick and before the original expected date . the stand be a bit flimsy , but it be small enough to be push into a corner and seem to hold the weight with no trouble . the weight themselves be comfortable and the perfect size for I . I think this be a great tool for any beginner to get start with . +802 Dumbbell POS 5 extremely satisfy with this dumbell rack ! Easy to assemble , nice finish , and very functional ! build quality be excellent and should last a long time . the angled shelf design be great for access the weight , speciallly the heavier one . can accomodate 8 to 9-pair of dumbell , depend on size -- hold my set of 10 to 50 pound dumbell , in 5 pound increment , nicely . excellent value ! highly recommend ! +724 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy 2 of they . I do not have any problem . they be cute , and work for I . I like they . +361 Dumbbell POS 5 I order these while they be out of stock , and unexpededly receive they in only a couple day !! the stand be in perfect condition . Easy to assemble . I weigh the weight on my bathroom scale - the 8lb be 8.2 , the 5 's be right on 5 , and the 3 's be 3.4 . at least each pair be the same weight ! +178 Dumbbell POS 4 I order this about a month ago to see if it be worth the hype behind the commercial for it . plus , I really do not have a gym to go to regularly , so this look like a good way to stay in shape . after use it for a month now , it be a good workout . the 6 minute routine dvd that come with it leave you sore and feel a nice pump that give you some energy . it do take a litte adjust to , as at first use the Shake Weight do feel awkward and almost like it be not work properly . however , after use it more and more , I find out that the more you shake it , the easier it get to use . and , you can tell if you be use it right if it make a loud noise -lrb- surprise , surprise , a shake sound -rrb- . overall , if you want a fast , effective way of work out without gym time , this be a decent alternative . +617 Dumbbell POS 5 do what it say it do . I have have my power block for over 3 year and they be as good as new . Great , easy to use , well-made product . +705 Dumbbell POS 4 after read all of the review of this product , only a few of they match my experience . I receive the first weight rack and realize that one of the screw-hole be miss on the frame , make it impossible to properly assemble the rack . also , the box look quite beat up , and the part bag be open and sloppy ; not a good first impression , although all part be account for . we go through amazon and return it to we -lrb- very local -rrb- UPS store , and receive a new product in 2 day without any hassle , so as with all of my experience with amazon , it be quite pleasant . I have a relatively small apartment and the weight rack be right in the living room corner . I do not notice any overpowering chemical odor , and the rack itself be quite sturdy for my purpose -lrb- 50lb , 25 's , 20 's on bottom rack , 15 's , 10 's on middle , 8 's and 5 's on top -rrb- . it be very easy to assemble -lrb- one possible exception be the rubber foot , they be a bit tough to get on -rrb- and do not look bad either . I have have it for a month now , use it 5 day a week , and do not have any issue with this product . I would call it a good purchase for the money , and amazon make life easy . I give this product 4 star solely because the first one I receive be defective . if it be not defective , I would have easily give this 5 star . +461 Dumbbell POS 5 I have be use the powerblock system for 12 year ... . . I be a 63 year old special force Vietnam Vet ... . . I also hold a personal training certification from ace ... ... I have be trainng and body building for over 40 year ... ... and I can tell you that the powerblock system be the finest dumbell system i have ever use ... . I use mine 3-4 time a week ... I get a excellent workout , that help I stay very fit ... ... and i must tell you i like the feel of the product as well as the sturdiness ... of the block ... of course you have to be careful as you would with any heavy weight set ... just use common sense and keep training ... I would not use another brand and I reccomend they highly +481 Dumbbell POS 5 I check out the bowflex and the gold gym etc. and then I see these online , then check out youtube review and see they have they at Dicks sport goods . I go and check they out and they be everything I have want in a compact comfortable adjustable dumbell set . I can not say enough about they . who ever design they have there shiznit together . I buy the lower end line that do not have the 21\/2 lb increment , it save I about $ 80 . probably should have go all the way and get the higher line but I be more than happy with what I get . I be in the process of build my own personal excercise room and there will be limited space . I could not have buy a more perfect addition ! these be smaller and take up less room than any other out there . +454 Dumbbell POS 5 this shake weight be more epically awesome than when superman beat the razor claw in book 17 class 5 point9 season 1 ! and that be epic +148 Dumbbell NEG 2 Shake Weight sound great but I be not so sure that it be worth the money spend . seem very stiff . not at all as advertized . +60 Dumbbell POS 4 Ok , I be no expert and that be probably not entirely true , but as a relatively fit woman who do not think the 2-pound version for woman would be sufficient since I use a 5-pound hand weight normally , I be wrong to think the Shakeweight for Men would be the same as my handweight . after about 30 seconds I feel like I be gonna break something I might need someday . it might be appropriate for woman with significant upper arm strength , but then if she be already that fit she be probably already figure out what work for she . I be no couch potato , but it be definitely not a fitness aid I be even capable of use at this point . maybe I 'll be able to work up to use it , but I be not hold my breath . luckily I have a boyfriend and he think it be dandy , hence the four star . after pay attention to he usage it be novel enough to motivate he to work out , and he seem to sort of pick it up during commercial break for short session that seem to make he feel physically productive . he have not be use it long enough for I to say it be a undisputed success , but it make I feel less guilty about make the purchase , and he say he get a decent burn from use it . probably ok for man , NOT for woman with low-intermediate fitness level . +721 Dumbbell NEU 3 not a easy assembly - time consuming and frustrating . however , I love the weight and the stand as a package . not low tech - do not drop or you 'll be sorry ! eat you spinach - Popeye ! here come Brutus ! love , olive-oil +995 Dumbbell POS 5 I love this rack . I just get it . it take I a while to set up , about a hour . I reposition the horizontal slat on the top rack to face each other so that they would hold my weighted ball . this rack be just the right size and very solid . Mine turn out a little crooked because I think I tight a few of the rack to much so I have to redo it a couple of time which probably add to the set up time . if you can get help to put this together you would probably do a better job put it together than I do . for those you decide wether or not to buy a rack with weight or a adjustable bowflex select tech system . I would have to agree with the other poster if you have the space I like this better . I find the bowflex clumsy , large , and awkward and not so great for certain excersize , . . like the lie cross body tricep extension . also if you can go to a store that sell the bowflex select tech and try they out . they do not seem that well make more plastic component than I would have expect . I buy the rubber coated dumbell in the picture I post here on Amazon . great price -lrb- esp . if you have Amazon Prime I get free 2 day shipping -rrb- . this rack be wonderful for the price , easy to set up , and well worth the investment to you health . sweat on everybody !! +659 Dumbbell NEU 3 I order the shake weight after much debate on how well it would work . it do give you a bit of a work out and you muscle will feel the burn after a while . my problem with it be that it do not shake very easily . it be as if there be something that keep it from slide back and forth internally very well . it make it much more difficult to use than what you see on tv . it make a whooshing noise as you shake it which be a little annoying . the biggest problem be get it in the righ position for it to actually `` shake '' since it will not move back and forth easily like it appear to on tv , it take a lot more effort to get it to shake . I be disapoint with how easy they make it look vs how difficult it actually be to make it shake . thus far I be unimpressed and would prefer to just use stationary weight . +715 Dumbbell NEG 1 this be not battery operate , and very cumbersome to use . all plastic with cheap plastic chrome color . do not waist you money . +89 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy the u-90 set and be surprise at the quality of they . I have work out with Powerblocks here and there over the year and be familiar with various set , include the SportBlock . but they utility be more than I think it would be . if you buy a stand , get the rack stand , not the column stand . these dumbbell be surprisingly heavy ; powerblock do not give a single ounce , so when they read 50-lbs. , you be get all fifty ! +786 Dumbbell POS 5 I be a `` young '' almost 62-year-old . while I be pretty fit , I have notice , and worried about , lose muscle mass . I see this on a `` health '' website I subscribe to . buy it for $ 30 at Walgreens . figure that for $ 30 it be a good risk . in two word : it work ! although I be not fanatical about it -lrb- use it every three day or so -rrb- it have make a noticeable difference . -lrb- Disclaimer : it will not turn a couch potato into Mr. America . -rrb- about two week after get it , my wife and I be at she family reunion on the beach in La Jolla , see family and cousin we see 2-3 time a year . I be curious if it would be notice without my say anything . it be notice ! everyone remark on how `` buff '' I look . Pretty good endorsement ! I think I might have help sell a few . key point : as the first part of the dvd point out , you must grip the shake weight tightly . if you hold it lightly , you can shake all night and it will not help . I wonder if people who say it do not work be grip it lightly ... +522 Dumbbell POS 5 go together with a cordless drill in about 20 minute and have make use the SelectTecs a breeze for we workout . since we do BeachBody and Jillian Michaels , we be concerned lifting and set the weight down through out a work out . this make it all easier and protect the dumbell from a misjudge drop ! the stand roll into the den from the living room when workout be do easy peasy +940 Dumbbell POS 5 why do I buy into this fad ? well , the concept behind the weight be actually ingenious . I have be use it for the past month and have see tremendous result . the six minute a day work into my schedule and my arm , back , and shoulder have never look this good . +30 Dumbbell POS 5 this weight be comfortable and easy to use . it be 10 pound . seem very well construct . also , do not hurt the hand after lift it for a long time because of the neoprene . I highly recommend it . +878 Dumbbell POS 5 I purchase this when i first start lose a lot of weight , i be 220 pound , get down to about 170 and my body look so much better but my arm be just as big as when i be 220 -lrb- i be measure every week -rrb- coincidentally I encounter this problem right around the same time the shake weight come out - i have to get it . my arm be as big as my leg and everything else i try do nothing ! not even 10 minute a day , maybe 5 , every day for 1 week and i have lose 2 inch off my arm ! within like 2 month my arm be proportionate to the rest of my body : -rrb- and its a way fun product to use as long as you dont use it around a perverted guy LOL . +352 Dumbbell NEU 3 for the price , the Shake Weight will certainly give you a little more muscle without have to pay monthly fee at the gym . however , other review on here that I read be spot-on : it be perfect for people who do next to nothing and simply want to do a little exercise per day in order to feel like they be be more active . I buy one solely because I get bore around my place and want to have something to do -lrb- I actually belong to a gym , so I do not think of it as a replacement -rrb- . however , the greatest problem I have with it be that , anatomically speak , it be hard on joint and tendon . for example , it be not friendly for people who may have elbow or wrist problem -- again , I suppose that standard workout be not necessarily `` user friendly '' in that vein either , but one can vary a workout more with free weights\/machines than with this weight . in short , not bad for the price or to kill some time , but if you think you be go to look like the guy in the commercial , you would probably have to use this thing for hour every day for month . +674 Dumbbell POS 5 I be look for a value-priced rack for my expensive Hampton rubber-coated dumbbell . this fit the bill exactly . it be quite heavy and sturdy and go together quickly . the smallest dumbell seem to rest on the handle instead of the weight but I cut rubber mat strip to line the shelf on the rack and they now clear the rail nicely . this rack look great in my workout room and now my weight be finally off the floor ! I would recommend this rack . +119 Dumbbell POS 5 do the job . do not take up a lot of space . hold all my weight and be located for easy access during workout . what more do you want . +160 Dumbbell POS 4 the product be the same as you see advertise . buy it for my fiancee and she be please with it . +174 Dumbbell NEU 3 I wish this be a little heavier . I know we woman be try to tone , but when I workout with this I feel like if I have more weight it would be a little more effective . +903 Dumbbell NEU 3 I recently purchase a set of bowflex 552 dumbbell during black Friday and immediately realize the need for a stand to place my weight on . unfortunately , I could only find one stand that be compatible with this dumbbell set -lrb- I like have option to compare between -rrb- . one comment I have read on other review be that the stand be hard to install and the instruction be not adequate - I have no issue with the either the installation or instruction . it take I about a hour to setup . pro : - will save you body from bend over to pick up weight - sleek look con : - cost conclusion you have to have something to place you weight on , and other than make a shelf or put they on some type of table\/stand , this be the best thing out there . recommend if you can afford it . fyi - if you do not care about the look of you gym , you can simply place these weight on top of the styrofoam that the dumbbell be pack in . do not look good and not as sturdy , but it do the trick for the first month before I cave and buy this stand . +926 Dumbbell NEG 1 that be all I can say : useless , do not buy it . I be give it no star , but , it must default to at least one . +678 Dumbbell POS 5 the Power Blocks be great if you do not have a lot of space to keep a full set of dumbell . change weight be very easy and you can go change weight in 5 pound increment . in addition to the 45 pound set , you can get a upgrade to increase the weight of each to 60 pound -lrb- for around $ 150 -rrb- . +939 Dumbbell POS 5 this be a great find for we aerobic program . it be very sturdy , yet it be small enough to fit inside we equipment closet and the dumbbell stay organize ! I have to say - the folk at Amazon really help out . at first , this be go to cost $ 140 for shipping alone from any other wholesaler\/retailer . Amazon come to rescue by find it for I in they supplies and they ship it for free with Amazon Prime . Amazon be great ! +577 Dumbbell POS 5 in spite of the mixed review , I decide to take a chance on this rack give its reasonable price . I be very pleased . it arrive in perfect condition , have very sturdy construction and could not have be easier to assemble -lrb- 20 minute from unpack to dumbbell stack -rrb- . the one negative that I will point out be that you can not adjust the distance between the horizontal bar on the respective `` shelf '' . my iron dumbbell fit perfectly , while the neoprene dumbbell be not able to straddle the two bar that be mean to keep they from fall off the shelf . I intend to drill new hole that will allow I to adjust the distance , but it would certainly be better if the manufacturer could change the design to make this adjustable . +937 Dumbbell POS 4 this be not a bad price , and it come with a dvd to show you different way to use it and diffferent excersize technique but after about 3 month I get tire of it , just like any other work out equipment . I do not see much progress and I use it about 3-4 time a week but if you be the kind of person who work out 2-3 time a day 5-7 day a week this might work better for you . it sure do make my arm sore so I be sure it do something ! +816 Dumbbell POS 4 I get this yesterday for my bowflex selecttech 552 adjustable dumbbell -lrb- pair -rrb- after find that Bowflex 's instruction be too skim , I go to the instruction on Amazon.com instead , because they be more descriptive . for the most part , the assembly be straight forward , but tighten the nut and bolt be rather painful . I be use a adjustable wrench , along with the allen wrench they provide , but I would imagine that assembly would be a lot smoother if I have own a ratchet wrench . after assembly , I absolutely love the stand . however , I give four star just because the assembly take a bit too long . I highly recommend this product and a good ratchet wrench . +591 Dumbbell POS 4 rack be easy to asemble , and be quite sturdy . Easy to grab and replace weight just what I be look for , and the price \/ value relationship make this weight rack a real bargain . +47 Dumbbell POS 5 this product look good with a charcoal hammer enamel finish . it assemble easily with no issue . its very sturdy and because the rack be slant front to back , its easy to access the weight . I like the three rack because it fit a full complement of dumbell with some room leave over for extra plate for a bench press . as a example , I have hexagonal dumbell , and my weight set-up be as follow : 5-8-10-15 lb pair on the top rack ; 20-25-30 lb pair on the middle rack ; and 35 lb on the lower rack along with my extra 5lb and 10 lb plate -lrb- which I make a simple holder for -rrb- . +333 Dumbbell NEU 3 that paint you see on the number ? do not get too attach to it . for a more comfortable grip try wrap the handle in pipe insulation with ducktape . also make sure you have floor mat . these be usually a better deal than the rubber coated one . +850 Dumbbell POS 5 I purchase this as a Christmas gift . there be not much I can say at this time about the quality or if it work well . +900 Dumbbell POS 4 let I be up front . I be 48 year old and overweight . because of a hip problem I get out of shape because there simply be not a good work out that do not require hip and leg action . so I see the ad for the Shake Weight and laugh . 5 pound be go to make a difference ? right . then I be in a video and see how awful I look and decide for $ 20 buck it be worth try . six minute , 5 pound . ok , do not sound tough , so I boot up the dvd and follow along . 30 seconds in I feel the burn . 1 minute in and I be sweating and burning . I will get to six minute eventually , I hope . this thing work . my goal be not to look like a body builder , just to tone up and slim down a little . do not know about slim , but tone ? yes , this thing will do what be say . the only con be that it hurt to grip . I have small hand so maybe that be the problem , but a better handle shape would help . +894 Dumbbell POS 5 you definitely get a great workout with the shakeweight . I be very iffy at first just from commercial , but with a new year , I want to try a new thing . it be a six minute workout , and you feel it in the first 45 seconds . this product be definitely worth it and I be excite to use it more ! +587 Dumbbell POS 5 you get what you put into this . people say that it do nothing be either a -rrb- do it wrong or b -rrb- need the bigger weight . this be 2.5 lb . however , for the work out you do with it , that be quite sufficient . I have be do this not too long , use the 6 minute work out , and you have to work ! this be not a magic device that will do it for you . you have to push and clench you muscle and go as hard and as fast as you can . -lrb- I know I be get to how wrong it look too just ignore the unintentional inuendo lol -rrb- you push yourself until you want to die , basically , that be the best way to do it I have notice lol . if you be not feel pretty terrible b the end of it you have not do something right . when I do the shake weight I have to put a lot of effort into it . it be not like `` oh this machine be help I excercise '' its more like `` I be help the machine exercise which there for make I stronger '' -lrb- some how , its a loose comparison -rrb- I love the quick work out , this and Perfect Pushup - original but these cheap at home item you have to be dedicate to and you have to work they , they be not expensive enough to work you lol xd so work it or do not complain ! lol xd then again my arm be very weak now , so it be very hard for I . but that be also nice aobut it , you can tailor you work out to as intense as you can go , so you can trim it back if you be not able to handle it . there be lot of information and a dvd with the 6 minute work out -lrb- at least there be with mine i buy it from another store though not here -rrb- and its pretty good . for the price who can complain ? it be a great item I have no remorse and I use it every night . it be great . however ... yes you look like you be do horribly filthy thing when you do it . yes it do look wrong . get over it and do it in private if it bother you . lol xd +346 Dumbbell POS 4 in just the first day of use this shake weight , I could feel my muscle be stress . however , I have only have this for a week , so no result yet . +205 Dumbbell POS 5 I like the convenience and effectiveness of this simple work-out . I can pick it up and use it anywhere and feel great . the best feature be that it have improve my posture like nothing else have - after four spinal injure and other back problem , I have work physical therapy and other machine and have strengthe my back , yet this be the best ever for improve posture . I usually use it longer that the 6 minute , although it be good to start out that length of time . thank you Shake Weight ! +400 Dumbbell POS 5 this product work ! only 15minute a day and you 'll build up great muscle for fappin it . there be no need for actual fappin as that be very often messy and you can not practice fappin in public . fap on you lunchbreak , fap in the park , or fap in a movie theater . the possibility be endless . +684 Dumbbell NEU 3 this product be not all its crack up to be . I do not feel it give you the vigorous workout that it claim . I prefer free weight much better . +606 Dumbbell POS 5 want dumbbell for home use , but not a separate pair for every 5-pound increment -lrb- would require more space , have to build a rack for they , out of place in multi-purpose room , etc. -rrb- . the PowerBlocks give I 5 to 45 lb . per dumbbell , change easily in seconds , have even weight distribution with padding around wrist , stay securely attach , and be easily store when not in use . no complaint . +819 Dumbbell POS 5 just another success in a continuous stream of product order from Amazon , my preferred retailer . the time , traffic and deal with people require to go to the store ? forget about it . Amazon be my `` go to '' move for any retail purchase . price , speed and reliability be Amazon 's trademark quality . +999 Dumbbell NEG 1 hus my wife and I have be try to get the shakeweight to shake . maybe we need practice or help . we be just look for a tool to wake we up in the morning with a little exercise , so far no good . so far its similar to shake a heavy piece of wood . where be the shake ? we would love to hear from someone who know 's how to work it . be there a trick to activate it . we do realize it do not shake by itself , but once you start it , be not it suppose to continue shake ? +665 Dumbbell POS 5 I be very pleased with this product . the delivery be lighten speed and the price be excellent . it do not hold my smaller weight but they be not the hexagon style so if you be purchase weight , buy that style . very pleased and it look great . susfrat +759 Dumbbell POS 5 the product arrive less than 24 hour after order -lrb- use 2-day shipping -rrb- . the quality of the frame , design and easy assembly make for the perfect product for the home ... Currently hold five set -lrb- 40 , 30 , 20 , 15 , 8 -rrb- - and I believe can fit 3-4 more . highly recommend . +967 Dumbbell POS 5 I do quite a bit of product research and decide to order the rack . read several good review . I be very pleased when the rack arrive . assembly be straight forward and take about 30 minute . appear to be well build , good metal , and good weld . very stable and handle the weight . excellent buy consider the price and size . +801 Dumbbell POS 5 I be so glad I read the review and buy these . I be a new lifter and the 3lb increment be great ! they be easy to use and surprisingly i like the shape as oppose to round . as a female who be life to get into shape i do not think i would ever need anything heavier and they take up little to no room in my apt . the price be right too ! love they , love they , love they ! I never like a product so much that I want to review it but the other review be what help I decide so i want to help too ! +582 Dumbbell NEG 1 just toss this piece of c -- p in the garbage !!!! what a waste !!!! spend the extra money on a better brand . +224 Dumbbell NEG 1 I order one of these thing in hope that it would really work since my arm be flabby now and i be in desperate to tone they up . I be willing to try new thing and always keep a open mind , but i get the Shake Weight and literally waste my time with it . I have more success use 3 pound dumbbell than with this thing . if you wanna tone up , just get something else and not this . seriously . there be one pro to this though , it make a good gag gift : D and that exactly what i do with it and we laugh and burn it . +53 Dumbbell POS 5 the shipping box I receive be not really in good condition , some washer and part be fall apart . its packaging be just average . I do not believe you can assemble this stand in 30 minute . I time myself and it take I good 90 minute with help of my wife once in a while -lrb- hold bar for I to align hole and tighten nut -rrb- . its bar and connect bracket be pretty heavy for one hand to hold while the other hand tighten the hex nut , and if you do not have a third hand , you should use a nut driver or something to lock the Allen wrench stationarily . you should prepare a 9\/16 '' or adjustable wrench , a small nutdriver use for extend the provide Allen wrench , a rubber hammer -lrb- or equivalent tool -rrb- to slightly tap steel bar hole align . bracket be build with very tight tolerance that it be not easy to fit together without tap they in place . you should also arrange supply 16 bolt in 3 different group -lrb- different length but go with same washer and nut -rrb- to prevent mistake of wrong bolt . there be quite a few turn trip and drop but no scratch , no bruise , no blood . finally , it be assemble in good shape , no miss or extra nut and bolt , and with big relief ; I ' m happy . the design be solid with durable hardware and the stand look great and robust . with bf 552 dumbbell on top , they together appear bigger than I expect . do not discourage yourself not to purchase it because of fear of long assembly time and installation difficulty level . the instruction and drawing be very clear , easy to follow and simple . give yourself patience and care , you will enjoy it +568 Dumbbell POS 5 I like these dumbbell due to the handle . the handle be lightly perforated , which mean there be no slippage during lifting . however , they be also smooth handle - which mean you hand never get hurt during lifting . they be the perfect combination of smoothness and perforation . I give these a thumb up . +96 Dumbbell NEU 3 I try the shake weight , know full well that I would have to do the shake . many of the negative review of this product seem to think that the weight itself should be shake , and that be the sole reason why they do not like it . overall , I think this product be pretty good . it be very difficult to learn how to use , in order to keep it shake while move it around , and I think you have to make sure that you reverse you grip from time to time in order to get even work on both arm -lrb- if you hold it with you left hand on the bottom and the right hand on top , you be probably not work both evenly -rrb- . the dvd , nor the product manual seem to indicate this , but I find that it be easy to figure that out by try it . if you be not go to take the time to work with this , just like any product , you will not succeed . you probably will not even figure out how to do it right , the shake of the weight while try to keep you muscle mostly stationary as they say you should do be actually very difficult . it will take practice , but for upper body exercise at home , I think this be a pretty good solution for home strength training . I would have like to see a wider range of weight , or at least a notch or something to add a extra one pound weight or something . as it be , once you use this often enough , you 'll outgrow they `` 6 minute workout '' and start need something else . +749 Dumbbell NEU 3 I must admit I like it better now , after a few day of become more accustomed to it . I be leave the first review I write below this update . this show that I really do not want to like it , but change my mind for the better . after about a week of not very much use , my arm , chest , shoulder and upper back muscle all feel more tone and look more define . this may be due to my not have be in very good condition to begin with . it may depend on one 's start point , but maybe not . it might help in-shape people keep in shape as well as help out-of-shape folk -lrb- like myself -rrb- to feel better . I have change my initial 2 star to 3 , and will update , if such be merit . it be super easy to use while watch tv , during time when I might otherwise be do no exercise . I suggest keep it next to the remote , in a place where it can be easily see and reach . it become something to just pick up and `` play with '' , when the mind be otherwise occupy . I be not go to bother return it when I do not , at first , like it . now it seem worthwhile to have keep . as to the handle hurt my hand , that be still true . I think the design of the bulge in the middle of the handle be flaw , but have find that wear fingerless workout glove have make grip it much less painful . the place it hurt I be between the thumb and forefinger , at the `` web '' part of my hand . the glove I use be great , by the way , and they be available on Amazon for $ 13.75 . they be call man 's glove but I be a woman , 5 ' 6 '' , and the medium size fit I great . they be machine washable and have many use . they be call `` harbinger 143 man 's pro flexclosure Wash & Dry Gloves '' . if the Shake Weight hurt you hand at all , try these glove ! here 's my first review : my first impression be poor . the handle be too wide for I to hold comfortably . my finger do not fit all the way around the diameter . it hurt I to hold it tight enough for use . it should be more narrow where the hand go . I be a woman , 5 ' 6 '' , of average build . this alone make I not very motivate to use it . it be suppose to be for arm , but it hurt my hand ! I will update if thing improve , but it do not seem worth use for I . I will look into a set of free weights\/hand dumbbell for woman , with a more-narrow grip bar . it will probably end up in a closet\/garage sale at my house . +691 Dumbbell POS 5 after the first minute you feel it work , it be a good product to work up you arm . +245 Dumbbell NEG 1 be not package well . Components receive damage and the part bag be damage enough that it be open and part be miss . +189 Dumbbell POS 5 I do this everyday and must tell you at first thought I would give it try . do not like what my arm be look like . after 3 week I see result . I keep the dvd in the player and do it every morning . you think at first it be not really do to much but the last of set on the dvd I feel the burn . love it ! +619 Dumbbell NEG 1 I be so excited to buy the Shake Weight after see all those commercial , but now I see why I dont know anybody who own this piecce of junk . I think that it be a battery operate system that move automatically but its not . it suck and be make of plastic . three word people DENISE AUSITN WORKOUT , she have several workout dvd and you can go to target or walmart or where ever and get some 5.00 weight . the only good experience be that I be receive my refund very quick . but I be smart enough to buy that Denise Austin cardio workout dvd in the same order as this shakeweight and im very pleased with it . people , once again dont waste you money on this trash . +714 Dumbbell POS 5 these power block be just what the doctor order . my fiance and I can use the same set of weight and save money , it be awesome . plus they be nice and compact . a little on the pricey side , I think the stand should come free consider they cost close to $ 200 dollar , but consider the amount I spend on a pair of 15 lb . Reebok weight the week before -lrb- close to $ 70 for the pair , needless to say I return they -rrb- these be definitely cost effective if you be on a budget . save up for they . peace . +381 Dumbbell POS 5 I be go to repeat what other reviewer have say . I have no intention on add fame or defame this product . again , like what the other reviewer have mention , I be skeptical of this product at first , but I decide to give it a try after try it in Modell 's . the 6 minute dvd exercise be good . it really do give a workout on my muscle , you can feel the burn after the first minute of use it . I hope this product do not injury my back , though . if anything , I will come back and tell you guy about it . all in all , it be a great product and I do not mind use it at all . there be nothing funny or embarrassing about . EDIT : 8\/18\/10 I have be use it everyday . I do not experience any neck , back or muscle pain . I like the `` burn '' every time I use it . great product !!! EDIT : 10\/03\/10 I still have it , I be still use it , still in a good shape . I do not see any large change in muscle mass but I do not really care ! +730 Dumbbell NEG 1 I be happy to read the other review of this product , but when it arrive , I have to wonder if the company have change hand - or manufacturer . the box seem well-packed from the outside , but the first thing I notice when I open it be that the cardboard and plastic container that be suppose to hold the small part have break open . the piece be everywhere . it be a miracle none slide out of the box . this be not a catastrophe , obviously ; it be just the first hint that there be no care take in packaging . the larger metal piece be loosely roll in bubble wrap and tape once or twice , then throw into the box where they could slam into each other during shipping . most of the metal piece be scrape and scratch . unlike the photo show above , there be letter on each of the rack upright . not surprisingly , the `` a '' in `` APEX '' be miss on one of they . again , not a disaster from a usage perspective , but I do not have a basement , so whatever rack I eventually choose , it will be in my living space , so detail like this be not unimportant . this just show a further lack of attention to quality . last , but definitely not least , I take a look inside one of the upright as I be put it away . it be rusting . it also do not feel as heavy\/sturdy as some of the other reviewer describe , so again , it make you wonder if it be the same equipment as they receive . needless to say , it be go back . +405 Dumbbell POS 5 I need something faster than my adjustable dumbbell -lrb- the plates\/collars type -rrb- for my p90x workout . I could buy the Bowflex Selecttech dumbbell for about the same price as a full set of these in the 15-45 pound range . with these dumbbell , I do not have to worry about they break if I be not move slowly , so if you have the space , these be great . these be probably the best addition I have make to my home gym ... not to mention , I receive these only two day after order , and I do not request any special shipping . +74 Dumbbell POS 4 mix with milk and shake well it taste just like chocolate milk . unfortunately , no protein powder will taste great\/good when mix into water . I recommend this product ; good whey protein , very palatable and the price be right . +328 Dumbbell POS 5 one of my friend have a shakeweight and I try it at she house , holy crap . you really feel the burn very quickly use this product I can not imagine actually use it for six minute ! I go through a giggle fit at first due to the ridiculous motion but you get over it . I have not be use it long enough to notice a difference but I really believe it will make a difference . +727 Dumbbell NEG 1 I have try out the Bowflex SelectTech dumbbell . they seem very cheaply make . the plate be plastic . they be sometimes difficult to place back into the rack ; they have to line they up just right to put they back with the other wieght . this be difficult to do when you just work you arm to complete failure . they be very long even at smaller weight setting so they might hit you thigh when you be try to do arm curl . when do heavy dumbbell bench press most people like to balance the dumbbell on end on you leg so you can `` kick '' they up into place . the Bowflex dumbbell be not shape properly on the end make this awkward . it could also create a safety issue if the dial be bump and accidentally get turn . after search for the perfect dumbbell I decide on the Ironmaster Quick-Lock Dumbbells 5-75lb from ironmaster dot com . another better alternative to the Bowflex be the Powerblocks . but the Ironmaster Quick-Lock dumbbell will give you the look and feel of real dumbell , the stand be include , and a lifetime warranty . I love mine !!! -lrb- the Ironmaster Super Bench be awesome too ! -rrb- +868 Dumbbell POS 5 I admit I be one of those people who send the Shake Weight video around as a joke to my friend the first time I see it with the tagline : `` who the hell would actually buy this ?! '' I dismiss it as one of those stupid as see on tv product that be destine for landfill after a short-lived stint in some sucker 's living room prove it a waste of plastic . then I read a glowing review in a fitness magazine and I decide I have to give it a try . after three week , my arm be considerably stronger and more tone ! my husband still make fun of I when he see I use it but I be enjoy my new muscular arm , so I guess I will have the last laugh ! I recommend this product , but advise you to take it easy during the Shoulder Press exercise . if you feel pain in you shoulder - stop and save yourself a serious rotator cuff injury ! +755 Dumbbell POS 5 I really like this product but as it turn out I have a bad back and shoulder and can not use it . +15 Dumbbell POS 5 this funny contraption actually work . my arm get tire after a minute ! I recommend to anyone who want to tone they arm . I use while watch tv . +312 Dumbbell NEU 3 the product be fine , although a pain to assemble , and I be use most of it now . however , one of the cross-bar have the hole for the screw drill in the wrong location , so I call the manufacturer to get a replacement . aside from not have any way to leave a message on the weekend when I first call , when I call again on Monday the operator be incredibly rude and not at all responsive , and make I feel like a idiot because they own brochure do not have part number list . she say the part be on backorder , would arrive in 3-4 week , and hang up on I . while this product be too much of a pain to send back , and aside from the fact that it be largely assemble , I would never buy from these guy again . they be a mom-and-pop operation as evidence by they voice mail message on the weekend , so let the buyer beware -- there be other weight rack out there from larger company you may want to consider if you think there be any chance you 'll have to speak to customer service about you purchase . +761 Dumbbell POS 4 heavy weight , ship . one of the weight be noticibly break up inside the plastic . still weigh the same but make a little sound . mostly just superficial issue , it all function correctly . +66 Dumbbell POS 5 so i get these in yesterday this morning be the first time use they and i love my new weight !! so easy to change the weight and they be not big and bulky . just make sure the the pin be in the right spot and not crooked . but overall im very glad i purchase these ! +576 Dumbbell POS 5 first of all i start by first review the comment about the product and i be hook now buy the men instead of the women because the man have more weight for one and second the grip be bigger for bigger hand . now for the real review well this product work like a charm ive do free weight for a hour and i dont get the pain that this product give I i promise you if you get this product for six minute of youre time you will define youre arm . Finaly it do look weird when do the workout but dont discourage youreself because do people that say that it look like this and like that they have never try it s try this product and i promise you you wont go back to free weight +822 Dumbbell POS 5 I be a p90x graduate and I have to say that the most frustrating part of the experience -lrb- unrelated to the program , of course -rrb- be use my dumbbell which require unscrew the end and slide new weight on . I be on a second program incorporate p90x , p90x + , and the One-on-Ones , and I have get much stronger since I begin p90x ; thus , I need more weight and the variation I have could not provide that . I receive these powerblock as a college graduation gift from my parent and I be happy to say that I no longer have to worry about take minute to switch out weight or about have enough weight to build more mass and strength . the weight require no assembly and be color-code to help you switch weight fast , especially if you realize that you over or underestimate you strength . while initially the pb may seem awkward to use , you adjust fast and realize that the multiple handle make for great variation in exercise . every now and then , the magnetic clip which alter the weight can get stick on different weight level , but that be rare and never a safety issue for I . whether you be engage in the p90x program or simply want a great-looking , organized weight system , the PowerBlock classic will satisfy you and last for the long haul . bring it ! +970 Dumbbell POS 4 I use it once a day for six minute . my arm be start to look beautiful and get in shape . it really work . +171 Dumbbell POS 5 great purchase and it be exactly what we be look for the box be a little worse for wear and we be miss a washer but have one on hand so it be no big deal . nice durable rack . +706 Dumbbell POS 4 much better and safer than lift off the floor . very stable . must have with the Selectech Dumbells . Hurt my back lifting of the floor . this stand have correct that problem . dumbell should come with this stand !! +374 Dumbbell NEG 2 the weight have be re-engineered , but the stand be exactly the same include the strap . on the original , the strap lay perfectly flush with the base while sit on the stand . the stand on the new model be a bit more square and raise . they do not however redesign the strap to fit . when I call Bowflex and warn they that this be a recipe for injury and the ensue lawsuit , they simply say they know what I be refer to and have not have any complaint . they also say they have no reason to change it unless more people be to complain or injure themselves . I tell she it be a backward way of do business . I also warn she that I would put the fact on youtube . +551 Dumbbell POS 5 after much research on adjustable dumbbell I end with the Powerblocks . I try several adjustable dumbbell at the store but nothing can come close to these . I be very pleased with these as they be very functional and quality make . adjust the weight be very fast and easy . they take up very little room compare to traditional dumbbell . if you want easy to use adjustable dumbell , quality make product , and save space than these be the Ultimate Dumbells for you . +84 Dumbbell NEG 1 I receive the box and it be clearly open . two of the dumbbell rack bar be miss . I have try contact the company to rectify this , via phone all I get be a busy signal and by email they have yet to respond at this point . so it look like I will be return it . too bad , because the unit seem to be pretty nice . Steve W +871 Dumbbell POS 5 what can I say , Cap make some great quality dumbbell . I buy a few of these to add to my collection . the larger you go of course the more expensive . I just wish Cap continue to produce these locally in store . I try to purchase through Sears.com who carry many weight but they shipping be by weight , for 3 set of dumbbell that total 130 lb the cost to ship be thousand of dollar literally . through Amazon I purchase the same weight and shipping be free . Love Amazon Prime . +600 Dumbbell NEG 1 order this product around the 20th of January . receive it on the 27th of January . upon open the box there be loose hardware as other have state . I begin try to put the rack together , seem pretty straight forward , however what I soon realize be that the left support beam do not even have any hole drill into the middle bracket . it floor I that this be not identify before packing . I mean , it be not something small , like a miss washer , or even a miss bolt , it literally do not have any hole drill into the bracket . I be at a standstill . after contact Impex I be initially tell a replacement leave support beam would be ship out within a couple of week . a couple of week pass by , no replacement beam , so contact they again , and be then tell that the part be on back-order -lrb- probably because of the miss screw hole -rrb- and it would be the second week in March . I contact they today and be tell that it will still be another three week , that the part should arrive by the 30th of March , which will be over two month later than when I order it . from what I can tell of what be actually there , it look like it might be a pretty solid rack , but buyer beware , since this be come from China there be apparently no to very little qc , and they customer service be very aloof . +764 Dumbbell NEG 1 how hard be it to produce a work dumbell ? it be not rocket science , it be a dumbell . yet somehow the brainiac at Fitness IQ manage to botch it . they get half of it right - the weight be fine , the center pole be not . when you pick it up , it go limp . you lift it into a curl , and it be jiggle in you hand like a rubber dick . the first time I try it I throw it down in disgust and it flop across the floor like a sick guppy . I would rather go back to lift my kid than use the shakeweight again but my wife take they so I guess I 'll just find some heavy rock in the meantime . +803 Dumbbell POS 5 Have have it a week and wow it really work already . I feel it in the first couple minute LOL ~ and I even order the woman version too . I figure 5 lb be not that much ~ ugh !!!! it do ... 3 minute on this and I be dead tired . seem like a no brainer to use and do not see why people have issue with it . like any exercise equipment ... if you have not work out in a long time and\/or do not use equipment often enough to understand the gist of it ... get inform and check with you Dr. . . do not be a dummy and hurt yourself . +844 Dumbbell NEU 3 I be really look forward to the shake weight ... even though my husband make fun of I for buy it . I guess I be lazy in believe that this be actually power rather than I do the work of shake it . I be not sure yet whether I be go to keep it , mainly because it be a bit cumbersome to hold and my wrist feel sore after shake it . +282 Dumbbell POS 5 I just move and do not want to pay for -lrb- or go to -rrb- a gym . these weight be perfect for I . the grip be nice , not grainy or slippery . a little assembly of the stand be require but be very quick and easy . so far the stand be hold up very well and can also be conveniently `` hide '' out of the way in my living room . great purchase ! +991 Dumbbell POS 5 the bowflex dumbbell stand make life much easier than use they from the ground which I be do prior to get the stand . it be easy to put together and be heavy duty since the weight be 90lb \/ each . the other nice feature that I be not expect . the stand come with wheel to make move it much easier . +348 Dumbbell POS 5 I be not sure what happen to the instruction for many peoiple below , but we rack arrive within 2 day -lrb- I love Amazon Prime -rrb- and I build it last night in less than 30 minute . instruction be idiot simple -lrb- which be good for I ! -rrb- very clear , and all item be neatly package and lable -lrb- right and leave -rrb- . I use a 9\/16 ratchet and the supply allen wrnech and have everything button up very quickly and easily . I have to be honest , i continue to be blow away by the quality and construction of Bowflex equipment . we now have a pay of dumbell , and a Selectech Bench and I have be amaze at how solid and good look everything be . I be a reasonably serious weekend warrior , and at 275 pound , I be not gentle on anything -lrb- treadmill , eliptical , bench -rrb- . I be certain the Bowflex item we have add in the past few month will last a lifetime . +653 Dumbbell POS 5 this stand be easy to put together , and work exactly as you would want it to for the Bowflex weight . it be very sturdy and well make . I highly reccomend this stand if you have these weight . +897 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy this thing yesterday and use it right away . it look really stupid to use it , but that be what door be for ... privacy . anyway , I notice right away that this thing would work . there be 3 basic exercise : the double-front hand , single hand side , and behind the head . for each exercise you hold it in the correct position and shake it from one end of the dumbell to another until you can not shake it anymore . I do 3 set of each exercise , and my muscle be still burn half a hour later , which be how you can tell if you get a good workout . it isolate the muscle extremely well . it advertise that you can get a great workout in 6 minute , but 15 minute be more desirable because it get you heart rate up longer . it be well-built and durable , but like anything else the better you take care of it the longer it will last . it be lighter than I think it would be , but feel much heavier as you use it . one very important thing be ... use it correctly . there be a dvd and a diagram of how to use it and use it correctly make a big difference . I be very happy with this because I love work out , but I have middle back problem . the Shake Weight do not bother my back at all , but still give my arm , shoulder , chest and back a great workout . it be exactly what I need . whoever invent this deserve a Noble Prize ! +855 Dumbbell POS 4 in general , I think these dumbbell be great . however , they can be a bit dangerous if you do not do a safety check . for example , if you be not pay attention you can insert the pin at a angle . this create a possiblity that a plate can come loose and hit you . also , you can accidentally put the pin mechanism upside down , this create the possiblity of a accident too . I like that there be a back up system of a elastic cord and magnet hold the pin mechanism in place . I have find there be only a real danger on certain exercise and only if you do not follow the instruction . even then the odds be small anything will happen , but it be something I want to warn people about because I have have some near miss . I find the smaller version of these be better than the larger version . the large version can be cumbersome and a bit long for some exercise . however , I agree with the other review you can comfortably do a variety of exercise and the trade-off in term of a slightly smaller range of motion on some particular exercise be not a big deal . for example , for upright row I tend to prefer a short curling bar ... ditto for overhead triceps extention . however , use one dumbbell with two hand be possible and quite comfortable . this be a solid well make product . I have own mine for about a year and I think they be great . over time , there can be a issue with friction between the plate , but I very thin layer of lubricant can help . for most people , this will only have to be do infrequently . +268 Dumbbell NEU 3 2 out of the 3 exercise on the intro to the Shake Weight 6 minute work-out dvd be ok but the 1 that be over the back be both odd and I be not really sure I be do it right . I rate this a 2.5 \/ 3.00 star . +518 Dumbbell NEU 3 I buy these as a cheaper alternative to Bowflex Selectech dumbbell , and long story short I just order a set of Selectech and will be try to sell these or else give they away . they be weight , yes , and they be adjustable . but I find they to be a bit clunky and not very ergonomically appealing . also , the change between weight unless you be do 10 lb increment be time consuming . there be two 2.5 lb weight in the handle , so you have to remove the center handle and remove one or both of they depend on if you want to adjust 2.5 or 5 lb . plus then you have one or both of the 2.5 lb weight to deal with until you put they back in the handle . a bit of a pain in regular use , but especially for I as I use they for p90x and change as quickly as possible be beneficial . they be not bad , I just think there be better alternative out there . +989 Dumbbell POS 5 I read a few review about build this say it be tough , so I be wonder what I be get myself into . the instruction be a breeze , there be 3 different long screw , and as long as you place they next to each other , you can tell the size difference . it take I about 15 to 30 minute to build this with a 9\/16 '' ratchet wrench and the allen key they supply . Make sure you have that wrench or a adjustable though . its pretty sturdy , I opt not to put the wheel on as I will not be move it at all . it alleviate tension off of you lower back and make it easier to place the 1090 dumbbell in there holder without mis-alligning of damage they . definitely recommend if you buy the 552 's or the 1090 's . I have see it online on Amazon between $ 129.99 and $ 148.99 . I purchase it at $ 139.99 because I could not wait any longer . +517 Dumbbell POS 5 purchase this for my husband when I purchase the Shake Weight for Women . he notice a difference in he arm and say it be worth purchase it . +300 Dumbbell POS 5 great product , serve its purpose . a lot less strain on my back now that I no longer have to pick the weight up off of the floor . this stand be very heavy duty , and sturdy as well . a lot of people complain about the instruction be difficult . I have no problem whatsoever . it be a lot of detailed drawing of the part be put together and I have this thing together in around 20-30 minute . I love the fact that it have wheel , so it be easy to wheel away and stuff into the closet when not in use . great overall +747 Dumbbell POS 5 this item be from the same company I buy my plate holder from . I be a lot more pleased with this rack than the plate tree -lrb- not that there be much wrong with the tree , it be just a little on the light side as far as the gauge of steel use . -rrb- this thing be build tough , and be large enough to accommodate plenty of dumbbell . I have a few different brand of dumbbell , and have no problem with they fitting this rack . like the plate tree , assembly for this be really easy . there be more piece for this than the plate tree , so it take a little longer , but it be still basic . Everything go together with large nut and bolt . the rubber foot both protect the surface of the floor , and prevent the rack from move around . this item , combine with the plate tree , really sharpen up the look of my home gym . everything be nice and neat and have its place . bottom line be I be pleased with this item , and would recommend it . oh yes , it be also ship in a timely manner . +476 Dumbbell POS 5 buy these after begin p90x . they be perfect for program such as p90x because you do so many different exercise during the workout , that you absolutely must have the ability to quickly change weight . the weight themselves be build solid and will last a long time . the simple selector pin setup be very easy to use , and make add or reduce weight a 5 second event to change both dumbbell . the weight themselves look a bit bulky and clumsy since they be square\/rectangular shaped , however they be anything but . I would recommend these weight to anybody that be look for a reliable set of adjustable dumbbell . I originally be go to purchase the Bowflex brand , until I read too many review from people say that the plastic lock mechanism break on theirs at least once and be not the cheapest thing to replace . the only thing on the PowerBlocks that can really fail would be the selector pin , but its a simple piece of heavy duty plastic . I dont foresee it break anytime soon either ... a one sentence synopsis of the powerblock ? `` a simple , functional , solidly build set of weight that will not dissapoint '' . +288 Dumbbell POS 5 all joke aside this thing work pretty good . a great little tool and super easy to use . Kinda fun , kinda funny ! +781 Dumbbell POS 4 buy this rack on Amazon and it arrive 5 day later . Free shipping be definitely a plus . Box weigh close to 60 pound . the rack be very heavy and sturdy and should have no problem hold we dumbbell . third tier be helpful and worth the little extra cost over the two tier rack . my one complaint be with the packaging of this product from the manufacturer . it come with a dozen bolt , washer and nut need for assembly . they be not secure inside the box and end up all over the box when I open it up . two washer be miss . there be a 800 toll free customer service number to call for miss part but I do not use it because I have other washer that I could use . +197 Dumbbell NEG 1 the man 's shaker weight do not perform ANYTHNG like the tv advertisement . it be very difficult to get the thing to shake back and forth and do not resemble the tv ad at all . basically , I feel like I have a plastic 5 # dumbell . I be very disappoint in this product . I have a Bowflex and use it religiously 3 day a week . so I be not decondition - that be not the problem . I call customer service and be tell that it do not work as easily as show on tv - keep try . +731 Dumbbell POS 5 5 star hand down this be super easy to put together only 1 step . come with everything in the pic definitly worth the price and come on time . ive have it about a month and a half and use it almost every day +955 Dumbbell POS 5 very happy with the rack - no more dumbbell clutter . have 270 lb . on it and it be sturdy . be easy to assemble . +367 Dumbbell POS 5 I use this for 2 week straight and now I be rip . lose 20 pound and the girl be all over I . +259 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy the man 's Shake Weight , read the instruction and watch the enclosed dvd . I have also watch the ad online . the product in the ad and the one you buy be totally different . absolutely do not buy it . you can get the same benefit and perhaps better by shake any dumbell you exercise with . the spring on each end only react once with every shake you make yourself . the one in the ad vibrate many time for each shake you make and even sound like it have a small dynamo in it and probably do . it be a exercise scam , do not be fool ! +355 Dumbbell NEG 1 as see on tv ! how can anything with those word proudly emblazon upon it be in any way disappointing ? I begin by shake the weight as recommend . Shake it with the left , shake it with the right , do the hokey pokey and shake it all around . initially I be impressed that I could now work out at home and not have to bother with nasty thing like squat , deadlift , weighted dip and pull up ... everyone know that lift heavy weight be poor exercise . besides , what if a barbell fall on my toe ? Shakeweight be safe and effec -- ummmm , be I suppose to be lose muscle mass ? never mind ... I be sure it be still a great product . I will , however admit that it fail to make my arm any stronger or ` more tone ' . by this point I have almost give up ... but I figure one more try ; sometimes you have to innovate and find new use for a product . I tie the shakeweight to my -lrb- male part of anatomy that we pee out of -rrb- and proceed to shake , shake , shake ! now my -lrb- it be the dirty part I can not use the word -rrb- be huge like a elephant 's trunk and could easily punch out a mugger ! thank-you shakeweight ! +55 Dumbbell NEG 2 sorry but this be a great idea , however it should come in different weight size etc. . its very light weight . I really would have use it if it would have be heavier . HOWEVER for those just start out exercise and need to build up , its a great toy to burn some calorie . it shake with ease and there be alot of arm position you can use to start . they just need to make some adjustment for more muscle building . I guess you can use this to practice you grip control on a spouse , but hey I have a headache ! +772 Dumbbell POS 5 I actually put this together myself even though the instruction say not too . I understand why once I get start . the piece be heavy and very wobbly until you tighten everything up . once it be together it be great , it hold all of my lighter hand weight and my husband heavier one too . the only weird thing about this piece be the rubber foot . there be ridge on the inside that prevent you from push the foot fully into place . that say you do not notice it once the unit be in place . but when I be move it around the foot fall off a couple of time and it be difficult to lean the thing on it side and gingerly put one on at a time . still , I do it and the product be great . +744 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy this set for my wife to use for p90x . I have the classic version and we both love the Powerblock design . quick weight change , heavy duty material , and perfect for those who want to save space . what more can you say ? its Powerblock , the best adjustable dumbbell on the market . +70 Dumbbell NEG 1 Pretty crappy product . the quality be very poor which be practically plastic . the only way to get it to work the way they advertise be to go so fast on it that you tire out before you see any result . in the long run it may become useful but you have to be in already great shape to reap any benefit from it . truth of the matter be that those who be already in shape rarely would utilize something like that . I would definitely think twice about buy this unit . +203 Dumbbell POS 4 I use this after a set of pushup . I have do the dvd , but truthfully it seem like no matter how you shake it you be basically just get a upper arm workout . the principle be very old , but most be unaware of it , so it seem new to everyone . you be basically do mini-contraction , almost like a vibrate isometric move . it make a nice finisher to you pushup , but unless you be a real couch potato , you will want to do more than the ShakeWeight for you fitness routine . +666 Dumbbell POS 5 excellent product . I be very happy with the result in such a sort time . you can really see the muscle develop in my arm . I use the dumbbell everyday and would recommend it highly . it also travel well . +390 Dumbbell POS 5 I like these much more than I think I would . they be very easy to use , and very well balanced . now I do not have to listen to that crappy gym music , and I can lift while the coffee brew . yeah ! btw-instead of spend a extra $ 140 for a elite set -lrb- 2.5 lb increment -rrb- , I purchase a $ 20 . adjustable wrist weight set . this give I .5 , 1.5 , 2.5 lb increment . +417 Dumbbell POS 5 I have be work out every day with this weight for two week now and it absolutely , positively work . I have notice that the older woman in my family lose muscle tone in they shoulder and arm as they age and I decide I would try to do something to prevent that from happen to I . I can not believe how much this have do for my arm . I look absolutely ridiculous use it but I feel so much stronger and tone . I have injure my shoulder in the past -lrb- once do pilate on a reformer and once carry a luggage -rrb- and I have have absolutely no problem with the exercise on the video . this be the only piece of equipment that I have ever purchase and actually use every day . I just keep the video in my laptop and work it into my schedule during the day . thankfully I work out of a home office where no one can see I ! +623 Dumbbell POS 4 these weight be ship quickly and arrive in good order -lrb- hard to damage solid iron -rrb- . Weight seem to be correct . size of weight be clearly mark . the handle be the wide , straight version . this type of handle can cause some issue for people brand new to they but that will go away with time and use . the grip seem to be well etched and work like it suppose to . although , I would not expect the use of these weight with some type of oily\/coated hand that may leave a reside . if you have never use these type of weight before then you should probably use a thin set of weight glove so as to get some toughening of the hand at first . if you might be concern about the length of the bar you do not need to be . all you should do be to center you hand and have enough of a grip to hold it there . if you do not then I suggest you work you forearm harder -lrb- roll down the finger and back up while forearm be support only to the wrist thus , leave the hand free to bend downward . this can be do both with the back of the hand point toward the floor and , though much harder , with the palm down . work until failure -lrb- past the burning -rrb- for 4 or 5 set utilize only 60 - 90 seconds rest period between set . anyway ... -rrb- Hope this help some . just remember , these be not `` show-off '' weight , they be work weight . +433 Dumbbell POS 5 just receive and setup the apex 3 tier rack . it be a great rack for money , space saving , easy to setup and very sturdy if you follow the simple instruction . order it on Tuesday it arrive on Thursday . hold hex weight from 8lb to 40lb , 10 pair total . Perfect fit . +213 Dumbbell POS 4 I 'll start off by say that if you be hope to look like the guy in the commercial , get a personal trainer and a dietician . you will not be super buff in no time from the Shake Weight . it be not for people who want to be perfectly chisel . but after 3 month of use it myself , once or twice a day -lrb- usually just once -rrb- , I can definitely notice a difference in the tone and shape of my arm and shoulder . in fact I notice after just a couple week . so for I it be perfect because that be all I really want . you can do it while watch tv or whatever to make the time go faster . and the faster you go , the more intense the workout , so you do not have to buy a bunch of different size weight that clutter up you house . so if all you want be a easy way to turn flabby arm into decently tone one , go for it ! I be definitely go to keep use it . +6 Dumbbell POS 5 I recive the item on time and in exelent condition -lrb- brand new -rrb- . I recoment highly . +735 Dumbbell NEG 1 I would prefer to say something positive , but I can not . the motion of each end be very slight and make no click or noise , so you get no satisfaction and no particular value in a work out . two $ 5 2 1\/2 lb weight from a discount store would do you more good than this basically useless item . I do not understand all the positive review . they must be from friend of the manufacturer . I guess I could say they have good commercial because I buy one , but they do not even act like the one you see in the commercial . I be give mine to any one who will take it . +641 Dumbbell POS 4 very nice quality . love the color . easy to grip . recommend it for anyone who want something bright-colored and cheery to use during they workout ! +117 Dumbbell POS 5 I love this thing ! when i first get it i couldnt even use it for a minute cause the burning of my arm ! now they be get into great shape and my boyfriend have even try it a few time lol I recommend to all the woman in my family and share mine when I can ! would get if you want to tone up you arm !! +372 Dumbbell POS 5 this product arrive on time . it be easy to assemble and the instruction be easy to follow . it hold we dumbell securely and do not appear to want to topple over or anything . I would recommend this product . it do not fit all of we weight on there , but there be space beneath to store some smaller size weight . +770 Dumbbell POS 5 this be a great dumbbell in several way . one way be the rigid grip on the handle . the rigid & bumpy grip make it difficult to drop unless you completely let go of it . wear glove be recommend if you have soft or sensitive hand . the hexagon shape prevent rolling , so you can use these to perform pushup with . the coating hold up really well . Overrall , a great product . I highly recommend it . +271 Dumbbell POS 5 a little difficult at first but with practice it become easier . muscle in forearm be be define and it be build up my shoulder . Easy to pick up at any hour of the day and do a 60 minute burst . +212 Dumbbell POS 5 I want to buy the bowflex selecttech 1090 DUMBELLS which weigh 90lb each . I CA not find a stand make for the 1090 's . will this stand work with them or will the extra 60LBS of WEIGHT CAUSE PROBLEMS ? anybody USING THIS COMBO that CAN provide me with SOME FEEDBACK ? +567 Dumbbell NEU 3 I buy this when I be on break from school and start out use it with the 6minute cd . though I doubt I 'll ever look like she , I hope I can get some muscle tone in my arm . when I have free time now I do a few excercise , but after read a few review have be skeptical about use certain one . its not a miracle worker , and you do have to work at it every day consistently but I think its a good product +679 Dumbbell POS 5 I order this not expect too much , but I love it . the accompany video be great for motivation . my shoulder be so much better now . +856 Dumbbell POS 5 I do not even need the instruction on how to put this together . it be so simple and only take I 20 minute . i be amaze after i put this together how many people have problem put this together ... Anyways , this be a awesome product and now i can finally get my 1090 's off the damn floor . +797 Dumbbell POS 5 this shake weight be not junky like a lot of as see on Tv Products , and it be more fun to use than regualr dumbell +738 Dumbbell POS 5 first I want to address the guy that give low rating . if you can not shake this little 5lb weight , then you be very weak , and need it more then any one . if you be weak , it do make it awkward to use at first . that because you not use to it yet ... duh ? do you expect to be a pro the first time you use it ? do you expect to look like the guy on tv after 1 day ? another guy be surprise to find out you have to shake it ? ok that all I will say on that ... I think it speak for it self . now for review : I have be work out since I be in weight training class in high school , I be 37 now . this weight do perform exactly as advertise . I be pleasantly surprise to find this little 5lb weight can make I break a sweat and feel the burn after only a few min of use . you will use and build fast twitch white muscle from the short burst of movement , and you will also build slow twitch red muscle from the hundred of muscle contraction do in just a couple minute . fast twitch muscle be tight and compact , slow twitch be large bulk of the muscle for size and endurance . I can see how this will bennifit both . I do not know if you will build raw power with this , but you will most certainly burn calorie , lean muscle , get rip , and even some bulk after long term use . -lrb- natural look bulk , not wrestler look bulk . one thing people must realize . the only way to look like the guy on tv be many many year of very hard work , and a strict diet . -lrb- 5-10 year -rrb- it be a shake weight , not a magic wand . I recommend this for any one +884 Dumbbell POS 5 well im a guy and not really mature , but i be question about buy this . my first thought be `` lame '' , the obvious look like they guy be -lrb- blank -rrb- ing off a -lrb- blank -rrb- . but i be curious and lookd at other review and think id try it out . all i gotta say be damn this thing be a work out . i play football and other sport and i have never feel a burn like this every . honestly i cant even finish the 6 min work out . well i could but i cant keep up the pace of motion the thing i start off at the beginning . . this thing kick my @ $ $ . . show a couple of my friend that have same point of view and they be amaze as well . . i still think it look like u know wut but i dont care anymore . its a sick work out . . just clear the tough guy mind you get and give it a shot ... u might still think it look like the thing ur thinking but youll know it work ... +710 Dumbbell POS 4 well I be hesitate to buy this item for my husband because it be just gonna end up somewhere in the house , like the other stuff that he buy , but I end-up buy one anyway because he like to own one ... so far he be use it so I guess he like it ... not bad purchase . he actually tell I that he like the fact that he can take it anywhere in the house and he can hide it anywhere . . well he actually have a workout room and he have quite stuff there so I guess not bad item to add on he workout stuff . +473 Dumbbell NEG 2 I have a chronic shoulder\/elbow condition that be aggravate by weight bearing exercise , and think this piece of equipment would be just the thing I need to prevent that , yet still get the arm\/shoulder shaping I desire . not so ... after the first use , my condition -lrb- tendonitis\/bursitis -rrb- flare so badly that I have to use ibuprofen and ice\/heat therapy for several day just to endure . it be be several week now , and I still have some pain . although the workout look harmless enough , just be aware of the potential problem if you already have any chronic condition . the short workout program include may be too long to start out with . +314 Dumbbell POS 5 these be much cheaper at amazon than the alternative available at local store , and be essentially the same thing . I have somewhat large hand , and these feel comfortable to I . I will definitely buy more size in the future . +699 Dumbbell POS 5 this rack be perfect for the at home gym . it hold a good set of weight and be strong . the way each level be set back make be much easier to get the weight off the bottom rack . I be very pleased with this product . +898 Dumbbell POS 5 I make fun of this weight when it first come out because the workout look ridiculous , but then i research into the product , read many rave review -lrb- and many also claim it be a ridiculous look workout but that it work !! -rrb- and how this thing have work for they . I like work out but my busy shedule limit I from do hour of workout so with this 6 minute workout i can fit it right in before i go to sleep . I feel the burn and my muscle be sore the follow day . I will come back and review this again after a few month to tell of the outcome of this product and how it have work for I . but so far this product be do it be job . +211 Dumbbell POS 5 I have 520 pound on this rack and it be totally sturdy . I be skeptical because of the price of this rack and be extremely satisfy with this product . very easy to take even 50 pound weight on and off without worry of pinch you hand or anything like that . definite 5 star product . +435 Dumbbell POS 5 I recently get this dumbbell rack and could not be happier . I have two cat and dumbbell range from 5 to 45 lb . anyone who have cat know that that combo be a recipe for great gob of cat fur collect under the weight and no matter how often you vaccuum or sweep , it somehow manage to recongregate . this rack get all the dumbbell off the floor , prevent the collection of fur and other dirt , and make the weight a lot more accessible . the one comment to add to those of the other here be that this rack really only work well with hexagonal dumbbell . I have two round-bell 10-pound dumbbell and when I try to place they on the rack , they slip off and fall . so I have have to replace they . I prefer the hexagonal anyway , but if you have nothing but round-bell weight , you might want to look at a different design . but if you have the standard hexagonal , you 'll love this . it be compact , solid , and surprisingly solid for the price . plus , if you be a Amazon Prime member , it will ship for free , which be pretty amazing give its weight . I highly recommend this rack . +943 Dumbbell POS 5 if you be start from zero and have back-of-the-arm flab , this thing will get you a measurable result if use DAILY for a minimum of two week . if you buy it and do not use it , it will mock you from its hiding place , remind you that no result come from a lack of hard work . this will take about 8 minute out of you day . not a huge amount of time to see result this good . Perfect for people with limited space to work out . well-made item of hard plastic with chrome end . yes , it look silly when you use it . do not do this or most other exercise in the hope of look dignified . do it to get rid of flubber arm . +604 Dumbbell POS 4 the original set be very difficult to use , the weight stick together and I have to pry they apart . I discover that one of the weight be completely bent which be why that one be SOOOO hard to use . I call Sport Block and they send I new weight and pay to have the old one return to they . they make the return hassle-free which I really appreciate and the new weight work perfectly , the weight do not stick together at all . I do wish I have not have to go through the hassle of have they be so frustrating to use -lrb- before I have they replace . -rrb- I be very surprised there be not a better quality control system in place with the company , but at least they make it right and I be very happy with the weight now . +858 Dumbbell NEG 1 like a few other reviewer , I neglect to read the item description very carefully . there be one dumbbell in this order , not two ! beware ! this be very misleading . as the reviewer mk say , I would not have purchase only one dumbbell for the price ... I guess I be the dumbbell now -lrb- yuck yuck -rrb- ! +185 Dumbbell POS 5 I research way to have some home workout equipment that would be small enough to fit in my studio apartment while also provide the maximum benefit for the price . these fit the bill perfectly . adjust the weight amount be seriously a 5 second process . it could not be easier . I have hear good thing about the Ironmaster dumbbell , but those be much more expensive than the Blocks . I highly recommend get the stand for these , as it make they more usable . +815 Dumbbell NEG 1 this be a total waste of time and money . I buy it hope it would actually build muscle , but it do nothing other than make I feel bad about spend $ 30 on a piece of plastic . +195 Dumbbell POS 5 you already know what you be get out of this purchase . it be a sturdy dumbbell that do not roll at all , which make it a lot easier to store . the graduation to this from a 20-pound dumbbell feel like a big difference , though . you definitely will not breeze through this weight if you be do some strength training . I wish I could say more about it , aside from the fact that this be the dumbbell to get if you be look for a 25-pounder . -lrb- not a lot of bell and whistle to review here . -rrb- +914 Dumbbell POS 5 over the past two to three year I have buy pair from 10 lb . to 60 lb . I have be very happy with they . they be solid , the handle have a slightly checkered grip which be nice when you hand be sweaty . if you have look at other manufacturer 's you may have notice the size of comparable weight can vary , less costly weight be usually larger than the cap 's . the cap weight be a reasonable size until you get beyond 60 lb , in that case , well , they be just plain big . +608 Dumbbell NEU 3 let I first begin by say that I have never buy anything from a infomercial and this be my first . so far I must say , it be be a ok experience . the shake weight work and you definitely feel the burn when you use it . the only downside be the sound it make when use it and with the position use , you sometimes end up twist it the wrong way to a side to side motion instead of a up to down motion . first time I do it my muscle ache and I want to cry on the last rep but it be worth it . +975 Dumbbell POS 5 I first get the shakeweight on 01\/3\/11 and have be utilize it 3-4 time a day . now I have be work out for year and have fall off the workout wagon for a few month now and think about get the shakeweight to help reignite my motivation and tone up my arm which be 16 inch but with no tone . now that I have get the SW , I 'll be change that . but , the SW would be most effective in it be include into one 's routine as oppose to do it solo . I have be do my bicep curl and tricep extension and hit the sw afterwards and with the dumbbell building , and the sw toning , you 'll get a good workout . I be sure after another week of this , I 'll be do the sw in rapid fire motion for a much longer duration gradually until the whole workout be all rapid fire motion . feel the burn ! feel the burn ! +143 Dumbbell POS 4 weight be great . the bench that I get with they be a serious pain to build . the mechanism for the weight be also a little tight but will loosen with usage . +487 Dumbbell POS 5 be this a total workout ? heck no ! that say , i think everyone should have one ! and why ? because it be great for the day you do not work out . it be silly , it be fun , and it give you a bit of a pump . for the price , how wrong can you go ? i lift hard 3 day a week . on my off day , i do cardio and shake weight . i give this thing heck for about 15 minute . and i really believe it be deliver some extra cut to my muscle . could i get the same thing with dumbbell that i already use ? sure , i suppose ... but this be different and give I a break from dumbbell . i gotta say , i be very surprise at how much i like this thing . anyone who buy this as they primary workout be go to be disappoint . so just do not be that lazy , and you 'll find this as a great supplementary workout piece . i would not be without mine ! +685 Dumbbell POS 5 I purchase the Shake Weight when I be advise by my md to cut back on my traditional weight training program after sustain a couple of injury . accordingly , I have use the Shake Weight to either supplement a modify weight training routine or as the sole routine during interval when I be advise not to exercise use traditional weight training method . at the very least the Shake Weight have allow I to maintain my present physical condition . in addition , it certainly provide a feeling of satisfaction . while it do not produce the `` burn '' of traditional weight , it most definitely impart a feeling that be quite analogous to the sensation supply by traditional method . furthermore , when use with vigor , it certainly give the impression that one have sustain a workout session that be actually much longer in length . accordingly , I have be quite pleased with this purchase , and so much so that I actually purchase a second sample so as to have it available at more than one location without have to transport it ... not that its 5 pound would be a hardship to carry ... in fact it seem incredible that its mere 5 pound be capable of deliver such a notable effect ! two final note : the model provide by Amazon be a attractive gray with silver and black accent as oppose to some of the hideous color I have see in model for sale in retail outlet . in addition , the dvd provide be quite useful in explain how to achieve result on both a novice and advance level . however , for optimal result I would suggest progress to the more advanced level as soon as possible . +165 Dumbbell NEU 3 I receive my bow flex product very fast . the only thing I be find fault with be one set seem to be very gritty and dirty and not the other . I do not know if the other be defective or use . not that happy with the product for the price I pay . +291 Dumbbell POS 5 just like the SelectTech weight the stand be design to hold , this dumbbell stand be engineer beautifully . you can tell they really put think and time into come up with such a clever design . it be tough , take little space , and keep you selecttech weight at a optimal height , far better than have to pick they up from the ground . I would highly suggest this stand to anyone who own the weight . +107 Dumbbell NEG 1 Times be tough for a lot of we these day so I think I would help out by share my thought about the Shake Weight and how you can make you very own . you 'll need a few thing first . gather a old flashlight , one of those hand-held job that take two `` d '' battery . it should not be hard to find . they be in every Household section of every junk Shop in the world . next take out one of the corroded battery and discard it -lrb- appropriately , of course -rrb- . remove the glass lens and anything that could shatter and wrap hell out of the whole mess with duct tape . now ... . shake . yes , that be how it work . you shake it and it jiggle you arm fat until you supposedly become a supermodel . okay , if you do not have access to a old flashlight , I do have a alternative plan thanks to another reviewer . take a can of pea and make yourself a really strong duct tape handle just in case the can should slip out of you palm while you be do all that jiggle . there ya go ! another set you can share with a friend . when I buy this piece of junk at Walgreens the cashier and I look everywhere on the package to see what size battery it take , just in case they be not include . we could not find anything , nor could we find anything say that this work by my simply shake my arm . I own my set for about 20 minute before immediately return they . I do not mind that they do not work the way I think they do , I do mind that by all appearance on the commercial the model be fight back against some sort of mystical force . I see this as clear false advertising . I recommend the can of pea . +562 Dumbbell POS 5 I just get this dumbbell rack and put it together myself , within one hour . Ok , so my hubby have to make a little adjustment to it because I build it a little crooked , lol . I be absolutely please with this rack . it hold all my dumbbell , 20 's , 15 ' 2 , 12 's , 10 's , 8 's , 5 's -lrb- 2 pair of 3 's -rrb- , 2 's and 1 's . I would just like to say to the reviewer that say they can not store they smaller neoprene or vinyl weight on this rack , I lay mine across the rear top rail . this work great for now , since I have available space . if I ever fill it to capacity , then I 'll have to find another home for the smaller weight , but for now , it work , and it be a idea for everyone else . +610 Dumbbell POS 5 if you be look to get adjustable dumbbell , these be the one to buy . they be solid and will last a long , long time . I would buy these over the bowflex or any other adjustable dumbbell . I have the set that go up to 90lb . and they be great and only take up a little space . I would recommend go to a place that sell these and take a look before you buy . I be look to have a store close by that sell these and I be skeptical at first but when I play around with these dumbbell , I find out just how `` solid '' these thing be . you can get a total body workout with just these and a good weight bench . some thing you just need to try out before you purchase and I try these out and be very impressed . great design and great product . it be funny because after I go to the fitness store to look at these , I go to the local bookstore and be skim through the latest Sports Illustrated magazine and there be a article about Lance Armstrong 's comeback and several photo of he work out . one of the photo show Lance use these PowerBlock dumbbell . after that I be sell ! it must of be a sign . ha ! well good luck and I think you will really like these and may be the last dumbbell you ever buy . good luck ! +46 Dumbbell POS 4 I have own the PowerBlock for about 3 year now and I must say I be very happy with it . I buy it because I be start to run out of space and my room be look like a mess as I buy more and more conventional dumbbell . it work very well for almost every exercise : Dumbbell raise , seat press , one-hand row , incline press , curl , overhead press , etc. . the only down side be I can not do a behind the head curl with it due to it be square shape . for this I keep one conventional dumbbell around since it be easier to grip with two hand at once in that position . the other minor complaint be the pin use to select the weight be a bit hard to insert if the block be not perfectly flat , such as when it be sit on a carpet . overall , I be still very happy and consider it well worth the price when you consider how much it replace . +90 Dumbbell POS 5 ok sure the instruction lack a little . but i be able to put the stand together fairly quickly . do not let the fact that you ; re worried about the assembly sway you from purchace this stand . i put it together in about 30 min . which i do not think be to bad . so if you buy the dumbell be easy on you be self buy the stand do not hurt you ' re back , its worth every penny and effort put it together . +295 Dumbbell POS 5 Amazon do it again , great price great product . Pretty easy to put together as long as yo have have you own tool . +734 Dumbbell POS 5 this thing really allow you to isolate a full arm workout . it be a `` Super Targeter '' the ability to target each area of the arm be awesome ; and you can see the muscle articulate , and slightly contracting . the work out on the dvd be nice for a all around work out for the arm ; however I prefer to focus on my tricept ; & boy it be feel right away ; there be no next day tension in the arm , you feel it while do the exersize , but it be not uncomfortable ; actually it feel really good . not like be at the gym , when you be scream , or grunt , try to complete that last rep in pain . you go at you own pace , and whenever you want ; even take it to work , and do a couple arm crunch on you brake . the hand bar seem to be the perfect girth for a man , but could be a little narrower , I have small hand . tip : do not hold the bar too tight , because it will shimmy , and woddle all over the place . lightly , but securely , grip with you thumb , and index finger , with the rest of you finger wrap around the bar just enough , so it wont slide out of you hand . start to purchase 2 shake weight , because I know 2.5 pound be not enough weight , for I . but what they do not clarify in the listing , be that the dumbell have 2.5 lb . on each end . believe I , that be plenty of weight for a satisfying workout , that will not bulk up you arm . +251 Dumbbell POS 4 I like the Shake Weight . it definitely be a quick workout and hard to do for 30 seconds unless you be really go easy with it . you can really feel it so it be definitely do something . however , at first it may be a little difficult get the hang of use it properly so it have the right motion and do not wobble . it come with a dvd with a 6 minute workout show several different position and way to use it . +867 Dumbbell NEU 3 I have notice a few people mention that these can be expand at a later date if need , but the Sportsblock 2.4 be probably the only powerblock set that can not be upgrade with extra weight . if you be like I and be use this for a training program like p90x , go with a bigger set that go up to 50lb instead of try to save yourself some cash upfront . re-sell these and buy a heavier set be not cheaper in the long run . I have also have the same problem with the pin slip out during use , particularly with the lighter weight . it be a little concern and I tend to find myself worry about whether the pin be go to slip out rather than concentrate on the exercise . my suggestion would be to go with a heavier set -lrb- or double check with the manufacturer that whatever you get can be expand -rrb- and to make sure it have a secure fastening system . it might take you a little longer to change the weight , but you 'll be thankful in the long run . +302 Dumbbell POS 5 Ok , I know this product look like a obscene joke on the tv ad and I be highly skeptical about purchase this product . however , I have to say that this product do work . it really do tone and tighten . it get rid of that under arm jiggle and give you some definition . it be great to use when watch tv and if you do not have time to go to the gym and use weight . it be not heavy at all and once you get use to the motion you can play around with it to target specific muscle group . you do get a good weight workout and can feel the burn after a while . this will not replace do weight but be a great addition for when you can not get to the gym or want to do something while watch tv . highly recommend . +118 Dumbbell POS 5 I travel extensively and be always on-the-go . so whenever i travel , i can not work out with my weight at home and not all hotel offer a gym . so i decide to try out the shake weight since its not so big and heavy as normal weight . I do not expect that now the Shake Weight have become my favorite exercise ! after use it for a few time a week either when i travel or at home , i realize that my muscle have become more tone . it actually work ! +24 Dumbbell POS 5 I originally purchase the selecttech 552 dumbbell with the intention of simply pick they up from the floor . this be not good on my back so I finally order this stand . the stand work as advertise , look great , and definitely help avoid stress on my back when pick up the weight . it take approximately 30 minute to assemble the stand , which be not difficult if you organize the part and follow the direction . you will likely need a wrench , though , to tighten the screw . I do not have one with I , so my stand be a bit loose , but it still work fine . the stand come with strap to better secure the weight when not in use -lrb- although it appear to be more for store display purpose -rrb- , and it come with optional roller wheel to make the stand easier to move around . I recommend it . +489 Dumbbell NEU 3 I try it for a week just for fun . just like any-other sport equipment , you just have to keep up with it and have patience . I lose a inch off my arm in 7 day -lrb- i have the measure tape to prove it -rrb- . my arm be definitely tighter . it be a ok equipment , but i think i will stick to the traditional dumbbell ; maybe once in a while , i will switch to the shake-weight -lrb- since it be not refundable -rrb- . -lrb- _ -rrb- \* +642 Dumbbell POS 4 I purchase this set for use with Chalean Extreme and they work great . good quality product . it be easy and quick to change weight and I have have no problem with they after 5 month of use 3 time per week . couple of thing to note . they do need to be store on a hard service ; place on carpet make it very difficult to change the weight set . only thing I would change would be the grib when hold a single weight overhead with both hand . it be hard to place both hand on or inside the weight and get a comfortable hold . otherwise , for the quality and money spend , this set can not be beat ! +588 Dumbbell POS 5 I be look for adjustable dumbbell but do not want to pay a fortune ! while these be a little more expensive than I want to pay I be really glad that I do . I read all the review -lrb- good and bad -rrb- and decide to try they . they be easy to use , very well make and be ship in very good time . so far , I think they be a really good purchase and I be very happy with they . +601 Dumbbell POS 5 these weight come in exactly as i have expect , and with no odd smell to they which you often hear from these type of weight . the stand however be not top quality , just plastic and fall over easily when take out the weight . but if you be not buy this for the stand it be perfect ! the stand be still convenient storage and display though . +657 Dumbbell NEG 1 this product appear to be well make . it be not flimsy and all the part work well together . but that be it for the good news . the handle be make of hard , slippery plastic that make it difficult to hang on to after even the slightest sweat . in addition , the handle be oddly shape , make it very uncomfortable to hold on to with one or two hand . I be not sure what they have in mind when they design the handle . as far as the benefit of use , I can not comment as the machine be just too uncomfortable to use long enough to give a review on this point . +199 Dumbbell NEG 1 Christmas gift for son , arrive on time and everything go well . the product be use regularly and in the correct instruct way , while during normal use approx . 3 month after delivery one of the end pop off and trigger by the spring it shoot my son in the chest . I call Shake weight customer service number and be tell to take it up with Amazon , even though Shake Weight make and manufacture this product . very very disgusted with the Shake Weight company . +702 Dumbbell POS 5 Easy and comfortable to hold even without weight lifting glove on . I specifically buy the set for the 5 and 8lb weight , but certainly could not find they cheaper than this set . the octagon head be perfect for exercise that involve use the weight as a base for pushup -lrb- like `` frogger to shoulder press '' -rrb- . have not have any problem with the coating come off or chip after several month of use . +998 Dumbbell POS 5 great stand . . look great . . do it be job . . easy , clear instruction on assembly . . only 2 size of screw long and short -lrb- 7\/32 allen wrench -rrb- . . all the same size nut -lrb- 9\/16 -rrb- -lrb- use a deep socket . . make it really easy -rrb- and washer . . note when put the caster on you 'll need a -lrb- 5\/8 -rrb- open end wrench or you adjustable to tighten they . . it take I just under a hour to fully assemble it . . wish I have get the 1090 's instead of the 552 's . . maybe another day . . +632 Dumbbell POS 5 I really like this stand . I read several review warn about how bad the assembly instruction be . those review be absolutely accurate . however , I take every single piece and part out of the box and line they up on my floor before I start the assembly process . that one little trick make it easy to identify the CORRECT bolt to use and assembly be pretty quick . the stand be really useful for I . I workout to the point of exhaustion , and even have to pick up and set down a full set of weight by the end of my workout risk injury to my back . that be not a problem with this stand . I pay around $ 100 for the stand . if you watch closely , you can occassionally find sale where Selectech will include the stand when you purchase they weight . even if you can not get a package deal , however , I still recommend the stand . +329 Dumbbell POS 5 this be a Christmas present for my son , and I have not give it to he yet , so I do not know what to tell you . +242 Dumbbell POS 5 Great use they all the time . they be really useful for work out with . I like how easy it be to put together and it look neet in my bedroom ! THEY be the bomb +756 Dumbbell POS 5 I feel like I be take a little risk buy this thing because it look like it be get alot of cross-member , strut , wheel , etc. . I like simple sturdy fitness equipment , preferably make of heavy-gage steel , and not a complicated contraption . but , I have to say , this thing be sturdy . it do not shake or creak or bend under the load when I set my dumbbell down on it , and sometimes after a hard workout I do not always set my dumbbell down as gently as maybe I should . some of the other review really emphasize how tricky the assembly process be . because of that , I do something I almost never ever do - follow the instruction . yeah . . step by step . bore ? yes . I put a movie on tv to ease the boredom . a couple other thing I do that I think help be I make certain I be use the correct bolt in each step because there be several bolt that be close in length , and I do not tighten anything until near the end of the assembly process . basically , I have no trouble put this thing together . the whole assembly process take I about a hour and a half , but that be because I be watch a movie . I probably double or triple the amount of assembly time by do that of course , the main reason I buy this stand be so I do not have to pick my dumbbell up off the ground and risk back injury . obviously this stand solve that problem , but it also have a basic v shape -lrb- when view from the top -rrb- , and this let you step in between the dumbbell and pick they up or put they down without bend over . I like that alot better than those straight shelf-style dumbbell stand that you usually see in gym . incidentally , this stand come with a set of four optional disk-shaped foot that you can put on it instead of the caster show in the picture . I set mine up with the caster because I do not have alot of space and I need to roll this thing out to use it , at least in the beginning before I rearrange a few thing . the disk-shaped foot might be handy though if you need to lower the stand a little bit , because I think they be a little shorter than the caster . bottom line be I have no problem recommend this stand . +156 Dumbbell POS 5 I receive a shake weight for Christmas this year , and I be impressed ! it do seem quite heavy and bulky at first , but now two month later I can most definitely tell the difference in my arm and shoulder . I be plan on send they to everyone next year ! -lrb- ... -rrb- +534 Dumbbell POS 5 in the past few week I have assemble two Rowing machine and the Bowflex 5.1 Bench and the instruction for this product be no better , no worse than any other instruction I have view recently . in fact , I think put the stand together be pretty self-explanatory even without the instruction . I assemble the stand in a little over a hour with a few quick glance at the instruction book because I hate read instruction . it do take a little muscle to tighten the screw and bolt , but then , that be why I want the Dumbbell Set in the first place . that be say , I think it be a great product , well make and sturdy . I have to admit after read the other review I be put off at the thought of have to struggle to put another piece of equiptment together , but , it be really a breeze ! the bench be also a excellent product too . +965 Dumbbell POS 5 this rack be a great deal . you can not beat the price with the free shipping . I receive it less than a week after I order it . it be just as they advertise and better than I expect . the rack it very sturdy and be pretty easy to put together . I do not notice any bad smell as indicate in some of the other review . I be very happy with this rack . it be exactly what I need . +664 Dumbbell POS 5 Amazon be superb in deliver quality product such as this on from Bowflex . I order this for my husband and he love it !! recommend it to all who use exercise equipment . +335 Dumbbell POS 5 I know the Shake Weight be get all kind of criticism . but honestly , this thing work !! I use weight , band , isometric and various other type of exercise but none give the `` burn '' that Shake Weight do . I honestly mean `` burn '' . my arm be hurt and I be feel rip in just 6 minute !! nice benefit of Shake Weight be that on day I do not feel like work out or I be just lazy , I can still get in a butt kick workout . . in just 6 minute ! highly recommend !!! +432 Dumbbell POS 5 when I first hear about the shake weight dumbell , I think it be a joke . then I read about it and watch the video and see that it would work in the area that my arms\/shoulders need help with . I find it available thru Amazon.com -lrb- the actual shake weight site be too much $ $ $ -rrb- . when I use the dumbell , I can really feel the arm -lrb- upper , lower , flabby part -rrb- truly be get the muscle go and I have notice some tone since begin with it . 6 minute a day do not sound like a lot , but when you start with this and have not work on you arm in a very long time , it feel tiring and as if you have be work those arm for a hour or so . I think I begin at 2 minute a day and have to reach the full 6 minute in interval over a 15 minute period : -rrb- -lrb- if I be much younger , I probably would not really need something like this to tone my arm and upper body , but be in my 50 's , this seem to work for I . -rrb- +807 Dumbbell NEG 1 I have have this for about a month and use it maybe 15 time before today . the 16th time I use it it come apart !!! now it be worthless . +713 Dumbbell POS 5 this rack work perfectly for my hex dumbbell from 20-50lbs . the smaller weight do not fit as well but since they be lighter , I be not that concern with pinch a finger between the weight and the rack . +264 Dumbbell POS 5 have be use my set for 3 year now . they be hold up just great !! `` SALLEN FROM il . '' sound like a whiner and a idiot . buy these , you 'll love they . +742 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy this with low expectation . however this item have definitely exceed my expectation . I think it be the goofiest look thing out there be why I buy it . it be addicting to use the shake weight . I love it !!!! +350 Dumbbell POS 5 I be just a average 44 year old with age arm and the Shake Weight -lrb- not a heavy weight -rrb- be help I tone they . I love the fast 6 minute workout too . I keep the dvd inside my computer for a quick workout anytime . the Shake Weight workout have already increase my arm strength -lrb- something i want -rrb- . I do get sore muscle at first so take it easy . +456 Dumbbell POS 5 so , I be walk through Dick 's Sporting Goods and see these weird look adjustable dumbbell . I want some adjustable dumbbell for a long time but the Bowflex and Weider one have move part that do not seem to work right and look like they be go to snap off not to mention the hefty price tag . so suffice to say I think these be go to be junk too . I try they in the store and go home and sell my home gym so I could buy these . man , do I love these thing . they be sturdy , intuitive , take up next to no space , and use they with p90-x have be awesome ! the fact that the work on a bracket and brace system that do not have spring or mechanical part mean I do not have to worry about they break and get stick . I work as a draftsman so I have a analytical mindset and the more I use these thing the more I think they be design by a real engineer and not some `` product designer '' who want a product that look cool regardless of function . solid as a rock and if use right should last a lifetime . the one I have go from 5-50 and adjust in 5 lb increment . if you need more than 50 lb then they have upgrade set that you can buy but they be kind of costly . do not think I 'll need the upgrade anytime soon . these thing rock ! if you buy they in a store and not on Amazon you might save a little money , too . +924 Dumbbell NEG 2 I have find this product to be very hard to use . I do not think I be a uncoordinated person but I can not get this to work as it say in the video or show . it be stressful on the neck muscle . I have not see that it improve my arm muscle at all but I be give it a chance . +792 Dumbbell POS 5 if space and simplicity be top priority , this be the set . I have gym equipment in the garage that be bigger and more ` manly ' . this set set in my closet and get I to do a few quick shoulder exercise ever few day . I find they to be plenty solid . in fact they be much better than the ` dial a weight ' set that I have try at hotel . and , if I can get sufficiently motivate while lift these , I will actually go to the garage and do a more serious workout . +931 Dumbbell NEU 3 it be too hard to hold on that every time when I be use it , it hurt my hand on mtp joint on the rear thumb . should have some sort of soft grip to protect hand . +468 Dumbbell NEG 2 the direction be pretty bad . and as someone else say the screw be very hard to tighten . they have a plastic stopper inside the bolt that you have to break through and its really tough on you hand if you use the hex wrench they supply . of course you would want to tighten the screw well because it be hold a lot of weight . my main complaint be the wheel it come with . I buy this for the sole purpose of store it somewhere and wheeling it to work out with . the wheel be terrible and make of cheap plastic . they do not spin because the weight of the stand and dumbbell . so essentially i be drag it across my wood floor , make it pointless . I will have to try and find real caster that actually roll ! if you plan on not move the stand then it be a decent , although any solid surface would hold the weight . if you have the room to be store they stationary not sure why you would even need a specific stand . this certainly be not a small space safe stand . a solid table would take up about the same space and cost way less . +971 Dumbbell NEG 2 the weight come be a cardboard box that be partly open due to the weight break the cardboard . there be no clamp to hold the weight on the bar result in the weight be unusable in a safe manner . +495 Dumbbell POS 4 this be a good product . the video give you a 6 minute workout with it and I can see over time use this will eventually help you tone you arm and possibly shoulder . I be not sure how long it will take as I have just start the workout . +463 Dumbbell POS 5 these people be just greedy . they have be increase the price daily ! wait for Amazon to resolve its issue about this product . they be sell for $ 26.70 +621 Dumbbell NEU 3 my logic behind this purpose be to have something convenient and fun to keep near the tv so I could tone up a bit while watch tv . I use it a few time but , for the most part , it be a pretty lonely piece of equipment . I like the concept . you be use multiple set of muscle to make the weight shake . if you be shake and do a curl , that intensify the move and will give you better result . I have read review where other complain ghat you have to make the weight shake yourself . personally I never think this be motorize or vibrate and the concept would be useless . you have to put in some effort with exercise . I have also read review about injury . I recommend new buyer watch the dvd that come with it . more than half the exercise in the routine be standard dumbbell movement that DO no require the weight to be shake . the rest you need to keep good form so that you do not go crazy and shake in the wrong position and get a injury . I do not always watch dvd that come with my purchase . I rarely do . in this case , it be necessary to see it once . would I buy this again ? probably because I be curious and do like the concept . would I replace this if it break ? no. . I already multi task enough when I watch tv . it would be easier for I to bring the stability ball and watch do ab exercy or just a plain set of dumbbell . for a novelty piece , it do make a interesting conversation piece . +110 Dumbbell POS 5 we receive the dumbbell quickly after order it . it be in excellent condition . my husband begin use it right away for he physical therapy follow he rotator cuff surgery do in August , 2011 . +154 Dumbbell POS 4 Powerblock Personal \/ plus pro : solid , well construct , quick weight change design . selector pin never loosen or require mid work out tighten like other adjustable . although plate shift slightly when in motion I have never worry about the system fail . 10 year warranty , make in the USA . truly portable with no need for a cradle or stand . despite other user complaint the personal plus handle upgrade work fine for I . the weld plate be so thin you would have to have monster hand for this to be a issue . if you have ever look at these on auction site or classified , they really hold they value . con : plate do make a clanging noise when in motion . change plate when you be really fatigue can be a challenge if you do not get the selector pin exactly straight . do not expect a fancy work out dvd or exercise chart , you just get a black and white instruction manual . I suggest the laminated poster . put you hand into a rectangular box do take some get use to . +93 Dumbbell POS 5 read through all of the review both good and bad . the good be this be a extremely durable and stable rack . it be build solid and hold what it be design to hold . Hexagon dumbbell pair be arrange as follow : top rack , 20-25-30 , middle rack , 35-40-45 , bottom rack , 50-55 and a single adjustable dumbell with 60 lb on it . feel sturdy with all this weight -lrb- ~ 660 lb -rrb- and have be in service for a few month now . I decide to put my lighter weight -lrb- 5 , 8 , 10 , and 15 on a small and much cheaper make Gold 's Gym Christmas tree rack from Walmart . agree with some of the packaging issue be sub-par . one of the sticker on the rack be all chew up from shift around but not really a bother to I . overall , I be very pleased for the price . +357 Dumbbell POS 5 the Apex Deluxe 3-Tier Dumbbell Rack be well make . the weld be good and its easy to put together ; it take I about 10 minute to assemble . a great buy . +50 Dumbbell POS 5 great dumbbell set , make I use they a lot since its nicely set up with the stand and doesnt let I forget about it , since i keep it in front of my eye . great set . truly recommend . +929 Dumbbell POS 5 I be a little embarrassed about buy something so hokey expect it to work a miracle . I have be use it six minute twice a day . it take about two week to get up to six minute , it be not that easy . I be in my late 50 's and my upper arm have no shape at all . I have try free weight and tone exercise but any woman over 50 know it be almost impossible to see result enough to stay motivated . it be be six week and my uupper arm look better then they have ever look . I have not wear a sleeveless top in decade , now I wear they all the time . Laugh and scoff all you like about this silly thing but if use every day you will get result . I now do not mind use heavier free weight to get more definition but I do not mind if I do not , I be happy with no flab arm , definition or not . +547 Dumbbell POS 5 I absolutely love these dumbbell . the ease of use be incredible and the ability to change small increment in weight and not have weight all over the place be great . right now I be do some circuit type training that require you to move from one exercise to another with a very short break , these make it easy . I can finish a exercise , change both these from one weight to another and get they in position for the next exercise in under a minute , easily . I have have no problem at all with the quality and use . you do need to make sure the pin be fully seat and both side be under the same weight as many have state but it be no extra effort , just pay attention and make sure the pin come all the way through when you push it in . they be easier to change on a hard surface , if you use a carpeted floor it help to lift one side to change the pin . only negative I can come up with , these do not expand into a heavier set so you may grow out of this set . so think that through carefully as you may save $ $ in the long run by buy the next set up to begin with . +448 Dumbbell POS 5 I have be use these for about a year . more or less 30 minute a day 5 day a week . over the year I have significantly increase overall strength in my upper and lower body . I have also lose about 10 % of my body weight -lrb- from 145 to 130 -rrb- . I be about 50 and male . in the time it would take to drive to\/from the gym I can get in a excellent workout at home . the weight fit in any space and I recommend a bench and a stand to hold the weight . the stand or any hard surface will make adjust the pin that hold the weight easier . a stand help with lift the weight . I notice change in my body in about two month and my only regret be not get a set that have a higher weight limit . PowerBlock 's web site offer expandable set , probably should have pay more attention when purchase . PowerBlock be a US company and they have a good web site with video for exercise . +1 Dumbbell POS 5 I receive the Shaker in two day - great for build you arm - you get out of it what you put into it . +35 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy this product because I want to do something about my arm , which in all honesty , be get a little on the flabby side . I know this product would not be good for muscle growth , but since what I want be tone , I take a shot . I have a decent amount of muscle build up from previous weight lifting program , but now I want a little more definition , and this have help . it be be almost three week and I can see a improved appearance in both my forearm and triceps . my biceps seem to be lag in the tone department , but since I have get result in less than three week , I be go to continue with the program and see if I can not closer to where I want to be . +424 Dumbbell POS 5 this stand for the SelectTech dumbell be a must have for people with low back issue . no stoop down to tool around with the dumbell anymore . its make my workout a lot easier and quicker plus its take the strain off my back . its worth the money . the strap that affix the two dumbell basis be a bit hokey pokey , but they serve they purpose in keep the base down . +100 Dumbbell NEU 3 I go this product because I have hear several radio show reference it and think it should be this really great product . I have actually be a little underwhelm by it and not quite sure if it be really do much . I have see the video and use it several time , but I be not really feel anything or see any result . my wife have grab it up and be try it out too -lrb- to try to firm up she arm . -rrb- we 'll continue to use it and I 'll leave a update , but for now , I be really not sure if it be worth the almost $ 30 I pay for it . pro : 1 . its not too heavy ... but not sure if this be really a pro since I want to work out . 2 . it look nice ... not sure what more to say about its pro . con : 1 . seem to only be use in a couple limited way -- although I guess these way be suppose to work out more area than what you think ... we 'll see . I hope this have be helpful ... I promise I 'll leave more later as we try it out . if it really work on my wife 's arm , then I 'll likely raise this to at least 4-star . +450 Dumbbell POS 4 this be a gym quality rubber coated hex dumbbell . it fit well with my weight set in my health club with other hex dumbbell . the handle be `` ergo '' but be thick at 35mm . there be some brand out there with grade handle size base on how heavy it be but this be the same size throughout . people with smaller hand will find this to be a large size . the smell be that of a new tire and be not overpower in my rubber floor room . Cap be a brand that also make home weight set and this be truly the high end of the set . it be comparable with most lower end rubber hex dumbbell but do not have the feature of higher end dumbbell from York and Hampton that have either a grade handle or higher quality urethane coating . for the price this be a good dumbbell although not better than body solid sdrs550 5-50-pound Rubber Hex Dumbbell Set THESE DUMBBELLS be sold individually . do not expect to get a pair . +571 Dumbbell POS 5 haha purchase as a gag gift but I have try it out and it do feel like it work . just have to get that motivation up ! +168 Dumbbell POS 5 when I see these weight on the internet , I be really turn off by the `` square '' shape . I try to find they in local store to see if they be really that ugly in person , but could not find any . however , just as I be set to purchase from a different manufacturer which offer a traditional barbell look , one review on the PowerBlock change my mind . it be a review by a woman state that the PowerBlock 's handle grip be very comfortable for a woman 's hand , whereas as the handle on the other set I be consider buy be fatter in the middle , make it harder for smaller hand to get a good grip . anyway , go with the PowerBlocks in spite of the square shape and be totally in love with they now . they fit my hand perfectly and take up less space than the two pair of dumbbell that I have be use previously -lrb- a 3lb . set and a 5 lb . set -rrb- . and it be really , really easy to switch the amount of weight with the pin setup , which be very similar to the way you change weight on a weight machine at the gym . I would definitely recommend these ... +717 Dumbbell POS 4 Shake Weight be a excelent product for upper body strength . product be of high quality , easy to use , and affordable . the dvd provide a excellent user ' guide . +875 Dumbbell POS 5 the weight range on these be perfect for I . it be easy to change the weight and not too bulky . +396 Dumbbell POS 4 I buy these to add a little more challenge to my step aerobic . it be help to bring my heart rate up faster and help to tone my arm , which be exactly what I be look for . I like the neoprene coating since the weight do not get slippery even when I start sweating . my only complaint would be that the stand be a little flimsy . even so , I be happy with the value I get for my money . I may be buy another set because my husband have also start use they during we workout and we sometimes want the same weight . +550 Dumbbell NEU 3 ok just get this rack put together today so let start from the begin packing - packing be ok but the nut and bolt pack break and they where lay all over the box assembly - easy assy take about 10 min only 12 bolt to tighten a + on this apex design - it be a very sturdy rack and only weigh 56lb but the angle iron that hold the dumbbell be to tall for the 10lb dumbbell so they rock back and forth and the rack need to be about 4in longer , it be a very tight fit to get all 10-50 hex on the rack if they make it 4in longer it would be a nice fit and you could probably even get a set of 55lb on there all in all I be happy with the rack it look nice and serve its purpose +893 Dumbbell NEU 3 the stand be plastic and the plastic have rust spot and be not break off correctly so it make it more difficult to put together . the weight themselves have a lot of divit in the rubber that cover the actual weight , they look terrible . it doesnt seem as though the company plan on call I back about it either ... . +927 Dumbbell POS 5 very please with the price and performance . not foolproff but simple check assure no mishap with loose weight . +553 Dumbbell POS 5 as expensive as this set be , the convenience and space saving we get out of it be unparalleled . have they have make it easy and convenient for I to do multiple exercise with different weight amount easily instead of have to purchase , store , and alternate between multiple weight . they be recommend to I by a friend and I be glad I listen ! +973 Dumbbell POS 5 I see this on tv the same day i see the Neck Slimmer . no way would I ever buy it from the tv . I go to target , and there it be , for -lrb- ... -rrb- , and I buy it . I go home , put in the 6 minute dvd into my laptop , and use it . I could hardly keep up . I guess I have weak shoulder . I wake up the next morning , with soreness in my muscle of my arm , in tiny muscle that be not often use . day 2 , I do the same thing , and my biceps be more shapely . this be a amazing product ! I belive in this thing , and I be glad I find it at target . I do not like my arm , and nothing seem effective . the shape Weight be effective . I be go to do it every day -lrb- in the comfort of my own home , without a suggestive expression , as the woman on the infomercial have . hide it from my son 's immature friend . -rrb- it be not a joke , it really work . for 6 minute a day , it be surprisingly effective . I do wish it be market a bit differently so that it do not look to be funny , but effective . it work , and do not listen to a bunch of pervert who say other thing about it . it work , it work , it work . I love this product . +138 Dumbbell POS 5 it do everything you would expect it to do . the size be perfect for a home workout area , and you can not beat the price . +409 Dumbbell POS 4 I order these as a gift for my boyfriend . I do not order the stand that be suggest . they arrive 3 day after I place my order without pay extra for expedited shipping . con : they do make a little noise when use they . pro : compact , reasonable price , great for a beginner , easy to use , stand be not need if you have a hard , flat surface to place they on . this set be too light -lrb- 24 pound max -rrb- for my boyfriend to get a really good workout . I know they would be light for he so I that be why this be not a con . the more appropriate set for he be out of my price range . I would like to order the next set up as well as the stand , but I have to wait until I can save up the money . other than be on the light side for the boyfriend , we be happy with this set . +471 Dumbbell POS 4 this weight set consist of a regular length hollow bar -lrb- which come in two piece and you beat together -rrb- , and two shorter bar . there be also clip to hold the weight on the end of each bar . there be two 20lb plate , four 10lb plate , and four 5lb plate . the plate fit both the longer bar and the shorter bar . the plate be nothing fancy - plastic , fill with concrete most likely , but weight be weight and they work well for I . the clip hold they fairly well -lrb- a little looser than a solid bar and actual solid plate -lrb- rather than fill plastic -rrb- but still effective . my only complaint -lrb- that I overlook when order -rrb- be that there be no 2.5 lb weight , so in order to go up or down on weight , you have to go a whole 10lb up or 10lb down since the smallest weight be 5lb and you need one on each side to keep it even . overall , though , this weight set work well for I . it be nothing fancy , but it get the job do . +689 Dumbbell NEU 3 this be okay and you will see some toning but , due to the design , there be limited movement you can do with it . I also have a 6 # exercise ball which be far more useful . I can do shoulder exercise , grip exercise , biceps , triceps , etc. . I keep one near my desk and use it several time during the day . Danskin DA-2639R 6 lb . Weighted Toning Ball +982 Dumbbell POS 5 weight come exactly as picture -lrb- aside from the fact tht the description say teal , but the pic be like sky blue ? -rrb- ^ . ^ ultimately no complaint . I definetly reccommend . also get it with Prime and you get it in a day . seriously . +896 Dumbbell NEG 1 well , order these from here and they come in prompt . once I open they I realize how much they smell with toxic petroleum chemical . -lrb- look in description it say that this chemical cause birth defect -rrb- so I keep they for a week to try to air they out , but they end up stink up my room so bad that I have put they out in the hallway before my roommate yell at I . so unless you have a good open space\/deck\/balcony where you want to air these thing out I strongly recommend stay away from these . I even wash they with detergent too as these be greasy . . do not help . there be other type of dumbbell that have other type of rubber coating that do not smell . I would try those , but I be so over rubber after these . Amazon have to send a truck here to pick these up . order plain iron dumbbell hopefully that should all be good . +63 Dumbbell POS 5 I have be use it for a little while now . it definitely give a good muscle workout and its actually a lot harder to use than I think - which I think be a plus because I never imagine that a shake weight would be tough to use at all . it be cheap and it do what its suppose to do . the only thing I would say be do not buy it if you think `` well , maybe its not as absurd as it look on the tv '' ... it be . Trust I . the dvd be aweful ; it be 8 minute of a absurdly buff man act like he be get a sweat from a shakeweight -lrb- it go without say that if you can bench 240 , you not go to get much of a workout from a shakeweight -rrb- . when I first use it , I feel really gay . this be not use derogatorily . I literally feel like a hand a man junk in my hand . do not get this if you live with a woman . she will inevitably make fun of you . if you live by yourself and be willing to suck it up for the sake of muscle definition , then this this might just be the product for you . +510 Dumbbell POS 4 I work out with the limited free weight I have as well as resistance band when I do P90X . however , when I decide to start p90x2 , I want a better set of free weight that would provide I with a wider range . my husband have the PowerBlock 15-50 which he love so when I mention I need some weight that will not take up the whole house , he get I this set , 3 to 24 pound and it be perfect for I . the weight increment be small enough that I get really the perfect weight for each exercise . the change of weight be super fast and secure . I be a bit skeptical of the plastic weight pin , but my husband have have he set for a year now and even with the heavier weight he use , there have never be a problem and so I do not foresee any with mine either . Bottomline , I highly recommend this set for someone who need quick change , small weight increment , and space saving . the only reason I do not give it 5 star be because it really be very expensive . but it be well make and great quality . +615 Dumbbell POS 5 the hardware package have come apart during shipping process and nut , bolt & washer be scatter everywhere . I be miss a few piece , -lrb- shipping box have hole -rrb- so I could not add the third tier . I assemble with only two tier and it be already very sturdy as be . regard the miss hardware , I call customer service and minute later I have a order prepare for the miss piece . painless customer service ... with a real person ! I will not be put on dumbbell on until I have finish assemble , but I think the process so far warrant a 5-star review . +996 Dumbbell NEU 3 they be call 5lb . dumbbell . as in , more than one . it would be nice if they could have say that , instead of surprising I . who sell one dumbbell ? who even use one dumbbell ? +531 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy the powerblock because I do not want to have a bunch of dumbell sit around my house . I could not be more pleased . the PowerBlocks look unusual but I do not notice any difference between the powerblock or a set of regular dumbell . the adjustable pin slow you down a little bit if you be do some circuit training but that be the only gripe that I have . overall , a excellent product at a cheaper price than the competition . +277 Dumbbell POS 5 I have be use these sportblock for a little over a month now as part of my workout routine . for my purpose of gain a moderate amount of size and then tone , these have be perfect . I find the weight to be easy to swap between and relatively quick . it take a bit of practice -lrb- especially on carpet -rrb- to get the safety pin lock on the correct weight and securely . on carpet , the trick be to push down on the handle when insert the pin . just make sure it `` click '' when fully insert to know it be secure . rarely do I need to press pause between rep when need to swap to a heavier or lighter weight . the safety pin could use a re-design . it be plastic and flexible which can sometimes allow you to incorrectly misalign on two different weight , or split the pin around two weight . as long as you be pay attention , usually not a problem . pro : 3-24 lb be perfect for my frame and workout purpose I do not have 3 pair of standard weight sit around clutter my living room quick switch between weight be easy and color code rubberized grip be easy to grasp and do not slip con : the safetey pin be make of plastic and flex . minor issue , but the sticker on the top of the handle on my weight be not align properly . because it be a thick plastic sticker , it be cause a few scraped wrist . I just peel they off and re-applied . rattle a bit when move around but appear to be secure provide the pin be properly align I be very happy with these weight to date . they be well make overall , versatile , and easy to swap out during a workout routine . not to mention less clutter in the living room to keep the wife happy . bonus point ! +536 Dumbbell NEG 1 I really want this to work ... pregnancy leave I with floppy arm and I want to find something that would help I with that ... well , this be not it : -rrb- it do not really shake , make lot of noise for no reason . not something I would recomand +752 Dumbbell POS 5 if you be in the market for these type of `` dumbell '' -lrb- one that you can quickly change weight on -rrb- and be terrify of the really expensive alternative , do not look any further . these work exactly as advertise . as long as 24 lb on each hand be heavy enough for you , you 'll be very happy . the square shape make they easy to store and if you secure they properly , they be very safe and easy to use . they be shape well enough that you can even use both hand on one block for those exercise that require it . the `` change '' system be definitely not as fancy as the pricier competition - but it work . +246 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy this product shortly after break up with my girlfriend to get more `` exercise '' . I truly enjoy the workout although I tend to fall asleep pretty quickly after I be do . however , this product be useful in more way than one . on a recent hike trip in Yellowstone , I kill a charge bear with the shakeweight . BEST MONEY I have ever spent !!! +688 Dumbbell POS 4 take I a few minute to learn how to quickly change the weight and use the pin , but after that I be good to go !! I mean these be exactly what you need if you want a convenient set of dumbbell you can use with any workout program . I use these for p90x and have no complaint . you cant obviously use these to do `` every '' exercise because of the shape , but come on ... you have the flexibility to go from 5-45lb ! I just use band for exercise that require more wrist freedom . not a big deal at all !! so far I love these ! I would recommend they to anyone who be serious about get in shape at home or away from the gym !! +506 Dumbbell POS 4 I hate to say it , since the commercial be so silly , but this thing really work . I have just be use it for a week and already my arm be more tone and less flabby . I do not know what they mean about a 6-minute workout , though , since I time the upper-body workout on the dvd and it be 12 minute . but that be still not much time out of you day for a good workout -- you just have to make sure you do it every day to get result . +398 Dumbbell NEG 1 I buy this item and it be garbage . they be no hand grip and the weight slip as you use it . you would be better off buy a hand dumbbell with the weight that you want to work out with . as see on tv Shake Weight for Men Dumbbell -lrb- 2-pack -rrb- +161 Dumbbell NEU 3 i purchase this item for my granddaughter and she really like the shaker for tone up she arm . +947 Dumbbell POS 5 you can use the dumbbell without this stand but bend over to pick they up will soon grow old , not to mention the strain you 'll be put on you back . pricey , but well make and of quality material . assembly may challenge some but follow the instruction and you will not have any problem . +413 Dumbbell POS 5 for a home gym like ours , I just need to hold a complete set from 10-50 # . this hold it all perfectly , and within easy reach compare to the other rack I have -lrb- straight tower -rrb- . no more smash finger . and incredibly , I be worry that a full set would make it a bit wobbly , but even with I stand on the middle tier -lrb- another 230lb -rrb- it be still rock solid ! assembly take 10 minute with the help of we 6yo and a power socket drill . amazing buy , highly recommend ! +457 Dumbbell POS 5 I finally get permission from my wife to purchase this stand . I enjoy the fact that it have wheel and I can set the stand in front of the tv as I work out , and then effortlessly wheel it out of sight afterwards . it save my back , as I no longer need to pick up the dumbbell off the floor . I think the direction for put it together be adequate . +963 Dumbbell POS 5 thank you for the fast service . the dumbbell rack be even better than I have hope for . great design and quality overall . I love it . I will look forward to do even more business with you in the future . I hope this review help other make they selection . +80 Dumbbell NEG 1 I would give it no star if that be a option ! -lrb- do you know that one star on the rating system equal `` I hate it '' ?? that be what it say . -rrb- do not waste you money . +247 Dumbbell POS 5 definately need to get the stand . look great ! well build . take up very little room . if you buy the dumbbell buy the stand . +326 Dumbbell NEG 1 I be very disappoint with the shaker weight . I have be lift small weight and figure this would be a good way to work out and it be hard to use . if you do not hold it just right you do not get the right effect . you be better off spend you money on a set of small weight . +338 Dumbbell POS 4 the package arrive in one piece package and weigh as describe . the cement-filled weight appear larger than metal plate , but still do the job . the metal rod for dumbbell be good , and clip work . the long bar consist of two piece , and need some knock to assemble they which be not hard , but it be permanent . so far it do the work , but beware that the long bar be rather short and I do not think it 'll set on a regular bench setting . overall it be a cheap alternative and get the job do . surely you 'll pack up muscle , but not certain if it be easy to purchase and assemble more cemented weight , since the size be already rather bulky . +43 Dumbbell POS 4 I buy this item seperately from the dumbbell . the dumbbell be fantastic and so be this item ... once you get it together . the instruction be really poor ... could be ton better . however , once you study the diagram it be relatively easy to get together . once it be together it be invaluable for hold the dumbbell . Perfect height and fit . I use the rolling caster so I can move they . they have lock on the wheel to keep they stationary and work very well . all in all , definitely worth the puchase . just do not expect much from the instruction . +728 Dumbbell NEG 1 in all the commercial it look like this have some sort of gyroscopic device inside and once you start it move , then you resist the movement it have inside . I have ask several people since I receive this and they all think the same thing . no , it be just something you shake back and forth . you could do the same thing with a can of bean . how stupid ! I would send it back , but do not want to waste the postage . +556 Dumbbell POS 4 the shaker weight look easy but it be not ... I have be work out for year and this thing can `` kick you butt '' I have see some improve on my triceps ... the jury be still out if I would `` totally '' recommend it . follow the instruction or it will not do a thing ... . . +4 Dumbbell POS 5 just get mine in today via fedex . open box , everything wrap up tightly in bubble wrap , take inventory of all bolt , nut , and washer , and assemble in about 15 to 20 minute . hold all of my weight and more , though as other have say , the smaller weight do not fit -lrb- 1 , 2 , & 3 lb ` der -rrb- . very tidy area now - hope wife approve ! I think this be a excellent rack for the money as be very sturdy , well build , and professional in room . +921 Dumbbell POS 4 I buy these dumbbell a few week ago and I have be very happy with the quality . I use they for walk and some light tone exercise . they have a nice grip and the weight size be perfect for I . I love the fun color too . the set come with a plastic rack that hold the dumbbell togehter nicely and keep they off the floor . I will be buy some more set to give away for x-ma ! +444 Dumbbell POS 5 since have kid , a wife and a full time job , the last thing I want to do before or after work be to lift weight for a hour . I have not lift weight for 10 year , and have gain some in my mid-section , but still have some bulk from the past . you muscle never forget ! I buy the shake weight because of the positive review here at Amazon , and I be sure glad I do . it have be one month of do the workout nightly , and my arm be cut , my shoulder show definition , and I have lose 17 pound -lrb- with a new stricter diet to go with the shake weight -rrb- ! I would not recommend this for people with a thin build , but those with bulk , this be a excellent choice as it will tone you nicely and be a great companion to eat right ! it only take about 10 minute total -lrb- to follow the video , and then do the side-to-side exercise that be not in the video -rrb- , which be nothing . you will be please . +981 Dumbbell POS 5 I find this product to be of excellent quality and a very good price compare to similar product . the stand while somewhat thin and light weight it hold well and do the job . the design make the set easy to place in a limited space . overall I be very satisfied with the product . +354 Dumbbell NEU 3 Got lax and do not realize it be for one barbell , make assumption I be get two base off price . even with Prime 's free shipping and a 20 % discount one barbell cost more than pick it up locally . never have a problem with any Cap equipment and will continue to purchase they . +899 Dumbbell NEG 1 there be a reason that exercise gadget like this one be a billion dollar a year industry . none of they work , so they keep make new product . you do not lose weight , and get tone , rip etc. , with a gadget . you do it by work hard . which you can not do with this product . buy a real weight set instead . +490 Dumbbell POS 4 I be give this rack as a birthday gift and I be very very happy with it . from a size perspective , its rack be not long enough to hold more than 3 set of big weight , and it do protrude out away from the wall more than what I would have think . but those be some pretty small gripe give the price point . I have mine set up as follow : top rack 8 , 10 , 15 & 20 ; middle rack hold the 25 , 30 & 35 dumbbell , and finally the lower rack have my 40 & 45er . I be kinda uncertain whether I can squeeze in a 50lb set , if I should ever get that strong to need they ... again , I be very pleased with this rack . its size related shortcoming be easily offset by its competitive price point . +179 Dumbbell POS 5 the Bowflex dumbell stand be heavy-duty and go together perfectly . I have put together a ton of equipment , furniture , tool , etc. , through the year and have never find any instruction as clear and correct , just spot-on , as Bowflex provide . the bolt , nut , and washer be all blister pack and clearly label and every page of the instruction have a silouhette of the bolt , nut , and washer need for that step . the stand be make of heavy guage metal and could not be more sturdy . I highly recommend the stand with the dumbbell , it make they accessible and easy to use and definitely save you back versus pick the dumbbell off the ground each time . +795 Dumbbell POS 5 I be need a few weight to start out with . I be search all over even at the store around my house and nothing come close as to these perfect size and organize weight I get . I be so pleased with they , perfect ! +961 Dumbbell POS 5 this be a great set to use at home on the day that I do not go to the gym . ship be quick , item arrive 5 day prior to the estimate delivery date . the weight be make of great material . the stand be a little cheap but I do not buy this set for the stand . +839 Dumbbell POS 4 once put together the Bowflex dumbbell stand be pretty solid ; it be very secure , stable and a lot better on my back than lift the weight from the floor . assembly be more work than it should be , and require a certain amount of strength . personally , I would like they more if they be a bit taller , and take a little bit less space , but this be mostly a minor complaint . pro - very solid construction - reasonably attractive - move the weight off the ground in a safe way . con - difficult assembly process - Expensive for what it be . - tall people may wish the stand be taller lose a star for the assembly process and the price . but otherwise great stuff . +663 Dumbbell POS 5 I have research all the adjustable dumbbell out there and have find powerblock to be the smallest , sturdiest most dependable . I be worry about the BLOCK design but after use they for every exercise I can think of , they work flawlessly -lrb- even tricep extension -rrb- . I didnt ' buy the stand with they , I use a older chair to place they on during workout . they take up little to no room at all and be much cheaper than buy a complete set of dumbbell . I highly recommend they !!! +675 Dumbbell POS 4 for the price , which be a great deal less than any other same capacity rack , the apex dumbell rack be hard to beat . the tier be recess which allow for easier access , yet the rack be build so that it do not take up any more space than a rack with vertical tier . the rack seem to hold up well , and it will easily hold up to 7 pair of dumbell , recommend . +167 Dumbbell POS 4 I have stop use it for about a month so have not see a lot of result , however that be my own fault . use it morning and evening however it add a little burn that normally help tone muscle . I like it so far , do feel a little awkward use it , however two friend have use it and admit it do add to the work out +308 Dumbbell POS 4 I receive this stand and like another reviewer , have some difficulty with the installation . the instruction be brief and the explode diagram be not clearly marked or number . many of the screw be 2.75 inch , but four of they be only 2.5 inch - make sure when you install , that you put the correct one where they belong ! once you have some of the piece together , you get a idea of how the assembly will go . the part themselves all seem like a very durable steel . the build quality seem good and once install , this make a excellent companion for the dumbbell . the stand weigh about 55 pound without the dumbell and stay rigid when the dumbell be install . you may use the plastic wheel for a move stand or choose adjusable stationary caster . the plastic wheel feel cheap and have a lock mechanism which will break if you be not careful . overall , this appear to be a solid product which be a great place to keep you selecttech 552 dumbbell . if you can accept the cheap wheel , poor instruction , and the expense -lrb- $ 135 + -rrb- , this be a very good stand . +465 Dumbbell POS 4 I really like use the Shake Weight . I could feel the burn in my arm after only a couple minute . and although you look kind of weird use it , it be fun to use . +272 Dumbbell NEU 3 these be cheap for the price 180 or pay 350 for bowflex dont hesitate get the bowflex and dont look back ... these look like they select from the top however they have a cheap cheap plastic slide in with a prong like system ... they be frustrate to get the correct weight on both ... I also have the bowflex and wish I could return these and buy the bowflex however they be for my wife so it be what it be ... once lock in they be lock in they be fine ... wouldnt recommend and wouldnt buy again . +121 Dumbbell POS 5 I order product on mon get it on thu ! awesome ! some review state the direction be difficult I however be a picture person I be able to put it together in about 40min or so juggle attention to kid and back to assembly ... over all happy +181 Dumbbell POS 5 of course if you have the BowFlex Dumbbells , you must have the rack . it be on wheel so you can roll it to where ever you need it and you do not have to break you back to pick up the weight ! +533 Dumbbell POS 5 I be just start out with free weight . I have no coordination hence cant lift weight and cant dance . so I get these to practice at home till I get better so I dont look like a idiot at the gym . they work ! I love they . they be a bear to change out to add or subtract weight and the bar be a bit small . but I will get over it . especially since I spend like 38 buck I think . definitely worth it for I . if you all hard core weight and weight lifting might want to get something nicer than this though . +631 Dumbbell NEG 1 when i recieve my Shake Weight , it be break . I be not go to bother to return it because after look at it i do not see how it woul ; d work anyway . lol +145 Dumbbell POS 5 I have a large home gym with around $ 30k of equipment . this $ 400 set be my favorite and most use item . I have one set for I and one for my wife and they fit neatly on the stand . they be very easy to use and be the most comfortable dumbbell I have ever use due to the padded grip . I admit that I have my doubt at first . I be worry they the grip would not hold up , the weight selection pin would bend or the weight would fall on my head . after 4 year of regular use , my fear be unfound . the grip be intact and the weight stack be absolutely stable . I have try the newer adjustable dumbbell on the market , but this be still my favorite . the weight selection seem much more secure than the nautilus , and the grip be more comfortable . it be my opinion that these be still the best adjustable dumbbell out there . +280 Dumbbell POS 5 I decide to buy this product at target after read the positive review and I have to say , this thing work . I use to go to the gym and lift weight and tired of the routine . after a few year of work out at home only once in a while , my body have become soft and I want something to help I get back into shape without take up a lot of space in my house and something that be convenient but also target a lot of muscle in my arm and shoulder . so this product be perfect ... so ... let talk about my first two day ... I can not fully complete the full 6 minute work out and my muscle be burn . I would end up have to do it for 15 sec on each set out of 30 seconds . so it do work ; even thou a lot of people like to make fun of the way it look when you work out with it . also , I see some video of people work out with it and do it wrong and say it do not work . they posture be wrong , they do not keep they body still , and when they be do a set , they would only do it for 5 seconds and switch it to another arm . if they try to do the 6 minute workout , they would of be to embarrassed to post the video online . I think this product be perfect for people who work full time , do not have time for a 30-60 min of weight lift a day and who sit at a computer all day . I be one of those people and I see it as ... at least I be do something . I have read after a while of use this device , people start to do it 2-3 time a day . I plan on get there ... but I be also plan on add 3 set of push up towards the end use the Perfect Push up device and also do some dip since I be not feel my chest burning use the shake weight . +696 Dumbbell POS 4 first off - get some adjustable dumbbell . they be well worth the investment . these PowerBlock adjustable dumbbell be the only adjustable dumbbell I have use or own , and I love they . they be incredibly easy to use and adjust - it only take a couple seconds per dumbbell . even when my arm be dead tired , I can still guide they back into place easily and change the weight - something that might not work quite so well on other dumbbell . the size of the dumbbell be decent . they be bigger than standard dumbbell , but they have not hinder any of my exercise . I do many different exercise and so far these have not cause any issue for any of they . I think it might become more of a issue with a set that go higher than 45 as the dumbbell would get even longer as more weight be add base on the design . the only problem I have have with these be a very slight one - sometimes the weight below what be select stick . that be , you may set it to 15lb , but the next weight below it may be `` stick '' to it on one side or the other for some reason when you go to lift it out - you just have to wiggle it a bit and\/or hold down the weight that be not suppose to be come up as you lift the dumbbell initially . this do not happen often , and it be such a slight issue that it be hardly worth mention . I believe PowerBlock also recently -lrb- at the time of this review -rrb- come out with some that be very similar to this although slightly curve on the edge . I think those might look a little better cosmetically , as these be just square block . nevertheless , these work perfectly and still do not look too bad either . overall , get some adjustable weight . this be a great set , but if you choose not to get this set , at least get some set -lrb- with good review , of course -rrb- - adjustable dumbbell be just so much easier and more affordable - especially if you do not have a huge exercise room where you can line all the weight up -lrb- if this be the case , and you have lot of money , perhaps just get standard weight to avoid the slight time it take to adjust they -rrb- +250 Dumbbell POS 4 product arrive quickly . I purchase both this and the Bowflex SelectTech Dumbell stand and I be impress by how heavy\/sturdy they be . assembly for both be a breeze . Bowflex clearly have they act together . if it be I I would have include some form of ` lock mechanism between the base of the dumbell holder and this stand . +455 Dumbbell NEU 3 this be a interesting piece of equipment . it do what it say , but there be not much to do with it . there be a limited amount of exercise to do with it . I think you could use this to add to you regular routine . it be nice that it be inexpensive , so add it to you collection of equipment be not a big deal . I would recomend this to someome who want to add some variety to they regular workout . +423 Dumbbell POS 5 have be use these with some workout dvd i get , and i could not be happier with this product . replace a complete dumbell set , while take up almost no space . the padded support provide stability when you really push into high rep. i never think i would say this , but i actually prefer these to my old kettle weight and dumbell rack . this be the first product i have actually feel strongly enought about to write a review , so i think it be safe to say that i highly recommend this product . +442 Dumbbell NEG 1 first , my dumbbell do not fit on this rack ! they be neoprene . also , the hardware provide do not fit . the nut have little rubber stopper that prevent the screw from be tighten . big dissappointment . return today . +356 Dumbbell POS 5 the weight do not slip out of my hand during my workout , and they arrive quickly . there be no weird oily residue like I have find with other coated weight and they be coat so I do not have to worry about rust or metal scratch my floor . +194 Dumbbell POS 5 the stand be excellent , it hold the dumbell without give or sway even when you body weight lean over the dumbell during position . this be the second stand I have purchase , the first stand hold my 552 dumbell set -lrb- now go on two year -rrb- . very well design for save you back during lifting . the only difference from my previous stand be that this one do not have a chrome finish , otherwise it be great . +825 Dumbbell NEG 2 after watch the commercial I think this product move the weight back and forth and the work out be try to control it . after get it I discover that you be to move it back and forth for the work out . do a repetitious movement like this be ask for carpal tunnel syndrome without much benefit . there be three way to get fit ; less food intake , cardio exercise and weight resistance . this walk the edge of cardio and weight resistance without satisfy either . +169 Dumbbell POS 4 the weight be fine ... but you only get one . so be sure to add 2 to you cart or you 'll be do lopsided exercise . +451 Dumbbell NEG 2 caution -- this price be for a single weight . it never occur to I the weight be a singleton , since dumbbell be always sell in pair . I think the price be a good value , but now that I have have to buy a second one , it be actually quite expensive ! should have buy at target ... the weight itself seem nice , but I feel the description should make clear it be only one weight , as most customer be likely expect two . +97 Dumbbell POS 4 it work great with the Bowflex dumbbell . despite the store front in which it be purchase , the over all product be great . it hold up well and it be just right in hight . I use to pick my dumbbell off the floor and then work out . what a stress it be on my back , but now they be the right hight and I only have to grab they and then work out and it feel great . sorry , I be not a writer so my run-on sentence be not a great joy to read , but the product be great and the stand be a space saver ... be it worth the cost ? the age old question . look for deal like I do and wait for the right price . +790 Dumbbell POS 4 Thought there be some kind of battery in there that make it shake but nope . you get to do it all yourself . +793 Dumbbell POS 5 make very well for the price . the three rack be ~ 32 '' in length . hold about 9 set of dumbbell max . Easy to assemble and easy to access weight due to the slight angle . could not ask for more . I choose this one after many search ; good product . +114 Dumbbell POS 4 I recently purchase this product about a week or so ago . I assume from the tv commercial that the Shake Weight be a motorized device . I be very disappointed at first when I find out that it be not . but when I follow the instruction , the disappointment quickly turn into joy ! I have not even have a chance to watch the instruction\/workout dvd yet , however , just follow the simple instruction and illustration , I get a very effective workout from it and already , my husband , child and I can see some definition in my arm and shoulder . I be think , wow ! if I be start to see result this quick without watch the dvd , just imagine what will happen when I pop the dvd in ... I 'll have those Angela Bassett\/Linda Hamilton arm in less than three month ! +907 Dumbbell POS 5 give a nice little upper body workout in short order . can not beat the price to value ratio ! Deliever very fast ! +614 Dumbbell POS 5 get it on Amazon since it be on sale for $ 17 and I figure it be worth take a shot . I have to say that I be surprised what kind of workout this inconspicuous thing can be . I do have to admit that I have not use it all that much just yet , but I pick it up in between do thing for a few repetition and I can feel how it definitely work you arm , back , thigh and even you back side , depend on the position you be use . now , if you want to step it up you can increase the intensity by speed up the movement and it will probably take a while to outgrow these exercise . it be suppose to tone you body , not get you to the body building championship , and for that it definitely work ! I do have some neck pain and in heed people 's warning I have not attempt the ` over head ' exercise , so I do not know if they would actually cause problem or not . +382 Dumbbell POS 5 I purchase the stand after have the 552 dumbbell for a week . I be do p90x and find it difficult keep up with the video with the dumbbell on the floor -lrb- and also worry about lift they off the floor and hurt my back -rrb- . the stand make it much easier and quicker to change the weight value and get back into position . the stand be really at the perfect height for I -lrb- I be 5 ' 10 '' tall -rrb- . I be impressed with how solid and sturdy the thing be . it do not budge when you drop the dumbbell on it . I be the type of person who hate put thing together . I must say , in all honesty , it be very easy to put together . I read a few review before I order it and be dread the process . I feel like the instruction be clear and all the hole be properly drill . it take I about a hour to assemble it . +579 Dumbbell POS 5 great product . they work great . I and my kid use they while we watch tv . you must watch the dvd before you start use they . never realize I be do my dumbbell exercise the wrong way . you will do they more efficiently after watch the dvd . save time , space and money and buy they from Amazon . purchase with the stand -- deliver in 3 day . also purchase the 3.1 bench -- deliver in 5 day . +392 Dumbbell NEG 1 I receive my shakeweight for man wioth a video show a large man start to shake the weight , to get it `` start '' -lrb- as they say in they ad , and the weight appear -lrb- like in they tv ad to continue shake at like 100 m.p.h. and you just hold it and the inertia take over ... THIS be SNAKE OIL ADVERTISING ... total b . . the shakeweight do NOT continue shake at all , not in the leaset . this be one of the biggest scam , I have see in many year , next to Bernie Madoff . I be not get the refund -lrb- from they -rrb- as they advertise so heavily - -lrb- I use my credit card - so my credit card company have issue a chargweback so I get 100 % of my money back - except for the return shipping cost -lrb- which they so profoundly advertise that they will pay -rrb- - however this be a complrete scam-the tell you to mail you receipt for you payment of return postage to a 2nd address -lrb- different from the return shipping address , and they say they will mail you a refund check ... bs - have not happen . do not fall for this snake oil scam THEY SAY THIS PRODUCT do everything -lrb- it do NOTHING A 5 LB DUMBBELL WO not do -rrb- and they say you will risk `` nothing '' , but you risk every penny you spend PLUS the return shipping cost ... +152 Dumbbell POS 5 when I initially have this stand under consideration it be not price , quality , or durability I have in-mind . I read several review about the difficulty of put the darn thing together . I think `` can it really be that hard ? '' . well , upon receive my stand I pull out the instruction guide with some trepidation . I be please to find out that with one thorough review of those instruction , a check of all include item , and digging out a couple of tool to help with the set-up I have no problem assemble the stand in about 45 minute . no skin knuckle or overly sore hand either . I do not want to make light of other reviewer and they assembly difficulty . either I just understand explode diagram really well and have that magic mechanical touch or more likely Bowflex revise the assembly guide . so , do not worry about assembly if you be at least a tad mechanically inclined and at least have a few decent tool lie around . my only negative comment about the stand be the manner in which it be pack . a little more insulation or styrofoam would have be nice on each component because I notice some scuffing and scratch -lrb- nothing so terrible as to warrant a return -rrb- that really should not be there if a little more care be take when pack the item . other than that I be really happy I spend the extra dollar to get the dumbbell up off the ground . the stand and weight on it look great , my lower back be happy , and the stand work just as advertise . +81 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy the 15 lb version of these barbell . they have be hold up nicely . I particularly like the fact that these be Hexagon rather than Octagon . my octagon shaped dumbbell tend to roll around a lot more easily than the hexagon type . +874 Dumbbell POS 5 the unit work . Shake weight for man . you must do the shake yourself . however the comercial be mislead . it look as though the unit be self drive . it be not . +545 Dumbbell NEG 1 I would never try or BUY THIS PRODUCT BECAUSE no one in CHARGE be PROOFING the ad . it be NOT `` US '' girl , it be `` WE '' girl ... +72 Dumbbell POS 5 Easy to put together and easy to move around the room . a very great asset to any home workout . I highly recommend this product ! +672 Dumbbell POS 5 very solid rack , easy to assemble . I have over 800 lb . of dumbell on it and it be solid as a rock . with 3 tier it do not take up much floor space , and the slante design make it easy to get dumbell off of all level . the only complaint be that the bolt , nut and washer be bust out of they blister pack and be loose in the box . have a hard time find the last nut , it be tangle up in some bubble wrap for the larger piece . they need to put it in a plastic sealed bag or something . this seem to be a common complaint . however , for the price I pay -lrb- $ 80.99 , no sale tax and free shipping from Wayfair through Amazon -rrb- , and the quality of the rack , if I need to buy a few nut or blot it be still well worth it . +620 Dumbbell NEG 1 I recently start a work out routine which require I to work with a different level of weight through different segment of the work out . I want to save room -lrb- and money -rrb- so I purchase this set . I be so excited about it because it appear to be exactly what I need . however , my excitement turn to disappointment as soon as I put these weight to work . First of all , it be not as easy to change out as I hope it would be . I be behind in my class because I have to fiddle with the grasp while make the adjustment . it be not slide in and out as easily as it should have . second , the grasp actually start to pull itself out as I be do bicep curl ... bicep curl for cry out loud ! Third , the product be shaky and flimsy . as I be lift and work , the weight do not feel secure and would click and clack against each other . when the time come to do some overhead triceps extension , I put the weight down and use another weight instead . I do not feel safe put this thing over my head . heck , I do not really feel safe have it anywhere near my body . I purchase this item because it be affordable compare to other adjustable weight I have see on the market and because it have get such good feedback here . I scrimp and save to buy these bad boy and they turn out to be bad toy . I return the product and stick with regular dumb bell . maybe I just get a bad , defect set , but either way , it be a bad and disappointing experience . +836 Dumbbell POS 5 I keep these near my computer desk at home and use they on break from tv or work . very attractive , durable , feel great . safer than regular weight , less risk of damage a muscle , ligament or joint . good result , very little discomfort ! I be a woman and get the man size dumbell . +307 Dumbbell POS 5 when this product first come out ... it be the laughing stock of the world . nobody take it seriously and the motion that you have to make to exercise with this weight make for great joke ! however , I recently read in the newspaper that this weight really do work . 2 trainer give they professional opinion -lrb- 1 male and 1 female -rrb- and they say the result you get be amazing . it work the muscle in a way that no other weight can . I decide to purchase it and cross my finger . I must say ... my husband and I reach for this weight at every bored moment we get . so easy to do during commercial while watch tv after the kid be in bed . a hour show have about 20 minute of commercial and use this weight for those 20 minute -lrb- stop while the show be on -rrb- really get you a great work out without overwhelming you . +507 Dumbbell NEG 1 I buy one of these , watch the dvd and do some of the exercise and my right shoulder have suffer immeasurable damage . my shoulder grind and click when my doctor put I through basic test . I be take chondroitin now which seem to be help after no success with cortisone shot but the un-natural stress and torque this apparatus put on you shoulder be terrible beyond word . I have not be able to golf for a year as a result and I have never be more unhappy with a single product in my life . +31 Dumbbell POS 5 at my local Sports Authority store , I buy a pair of 35 lb dumbbell of this very brand . for the past two year these dumbbell have have great durability and coating do not chip off easily . the handle have a grid pattern which provide decent grip . the handle also do not burn my hand . expect performance and I have no complaint whatsoever . highly recommend +36 Dumbbell POS 5 I have gradually acquire a fairly good set of these weight . I like the flexibility of buy one or two at a time of whatever I happen to need , as my ability increase . the weight feel good in my hand , and the different color make they look like fun . +243 Dumbbell POS 5 when look for this stand we find this one to be the best price . the delivery be on time and in great condition . +421 Dumbbell POS 5 the weight come quicker than I think and it be through regular fedex delivery . although the outer cardboard box be a little beat-up -lrb- expect of course , be that the weight inside weigh 45lb . each and they have to be transport long distance -rrb- , the weight come in perfect shape . I do not notice any scratch mark on they nor do it appear to be tamper with . till this day -lrb- be use they about 2 month now -rrb- , they have be work out very well for I . +228 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy this after see it on tv . honestly , I be skeptical , just like all the other buyer of this product who give it good review . after receive this and try it out , I would say it work . it will not be a miracle product for everyone , you still have to put some effort into use it . although it do make you look silly , you can always do it in the privacy of you home . my only qualm about it be that it can be initially hard to use at first and can slightly painful for people with soft hand . nonetheless , I give it 5 star ! +861 Dumbbell NEU 3 the product be well-made but nautilus , maker of bowflex product , like many fitness equipment seller , have integrity issue . my stand be obviously a return . the box be poorly retap . when I open the box , the bubble pack with the screw , nut , and washer be open as a person would open a bubble pack by peel off the paper backing . the hardware be scatter all over the box . after sort the hardware and search the box , I be short two washer . there be a small scratch on a leg of the stand . I do not mind a return , but at least , check the stand for nick and miss piece , and retape the box so a return be not so obvious . actually , care about you customer . the building of the stand take I three hour , but there be no problem . the instruction be clear and after I finish I have a quality product to hold my dumbbell . it be a matter of be organize and patient . I use my dummbbell three to four time a week . the stand be essential . when work with 45 pound in each hand , pick these dumbbell off the floor be ask for a pull lower back . the Bowflex dumbbell and the stand be excellent . nautilus suck . +159 Dumbbell POS 5 I officially kick off my effort to work out with this Altus set of dumbbell , and I have to say , they be great . I be definitely a beginner , and do not want to go get a gym membership and be surround by strange people , so I think I would just lift some weight at home . to be honest , I do not even know what Neoprene be when I start look and my only exposure to dumbbell be PE class as a kid where the weight be metal . these be great !! they be coat with this rubberized material -lrb- neoprene -rrb- . they feel good , they just do not slip , they do not smell at all , and they be not cold and hard like metal weight . have no idea weight could be so pleasant to use . I do go through these very quickly . from 3 lb to 5 lb to 8 lb and now I be ready for more . on the positive side , work great and I be stronger in a week ! 8 lb be definitely enough if you just want to tone you arm , but I be on to even bigger one such as 15 lb and 20 lb , but I be stick with neoprene . highly recommend these , great purchase ! +512 Dumbbell POS 5 do not get it the day after I order it , but it do come in a reasonable amount of time . the rack work great and it be nice and sturdy . for the price you can not beat it . +863 Dumbbell POS 4 the weight be great , easy to grip and well make . the stand be make from pretty cheap plastic and I be nervous about it stay upright . but for the price , I be happy with what I get . +331 Dumbbell POS 4 this dumbbell stand really do make the dumbbell easier to pull off . I be 5 ' 8 1\/2 '' and when I pull the dumbbell off , there be just enough clearance so I do not have to lift they to high to miss the biggest piece that be not pick up . it be a little more narrow than I like , but you can either step in with you leg really close or you can sten in with 1 leg forward and pull the dumbbell off . there really be a big difference between use the stand and lift the dumbbell off of the floor . it just make life easier . as for assembly , it be really easy . the most aggravating thing be probably put the towel holder on . 2 of the bolt be very similiar in length , just seperate all the piece in group and follow the instruction , then you should be fine with assembly . if you need it , definitely get it . +597 Dumbbell POS 5 we love the Bowflex dumbbell and the stand be a real necessity to avoid a lot of bend and stoop . great product . bought ours through the Amazon marketplace for about half price . no regret . +667 Dumbbell POS 5 these be a awesome pair of weight they be not awkward at all unless you have King Kong wrist . I would recommend anyone a pair of these for they home gym in a heartbeat , well worth the price . +65 Dumbbell NEG 2 I find the weight hard to use , the shake motion do not go as smooth as it appear when you see it on tv . +480 Dumbbell POS 5 when i first saw this i do not understand how it could possibly work , i decide i have to try it . i receive it today and it really do work . it be also a great way to vary you workout , as soon as you start use it you will feel the burn . +445 Dumbbell NEG 1 I go to mall and try it . it be kind of fun . right away I come home and get a bottle of water ... who know , it work the same !! just make sure the water have to be very very full . I fill up to half of cap . and you know what ? you can even do two hand with 2 bottle at the same time . it be free +460 Dumbbell POS 5 make work out much easier because you do not have to bend to pick up the weight . +561 Dumbbell POS 4 this rack be just what I need . it be very sturdy and easy to put together . hold all my weight and do not take up much space . +681 Dumbbell POS 5 exactly as describe ... Product arrive within 48 hour and packaging etc be in great condition . great value too . 5 star rating ! +320 Dumbbell POS 5 I do not have a opinion other than my daughter be very pleased with it . +952 Dumbbell NEU 3 First of all , you really need some type of stand to set you SelectTech weight on , and this be probably the one you want since it be make specially for they . the construction be good and solid . it come with solid foot and with caster . you can attach either , depend on whether you plan to leave it in place or need move the stand about . the stationary foot be fine , but the caster that come with mine be very flimsy and too lightweight . they deform under the load when the weight be put onto the stand -lrb- 552 's -rrb- . the wall of the casing hold the wheel flatten some , make it hard to roll the stand . I end up throw these caster away and buy a set of heavy duty caster that be design to take the weight . I can roll the stand easily and smoothly now , but higher quality one should have come with the unit . if you do not think you will be move the stand around , this will not be a issue for you , as the solid foot work well . my other complaint be that I would like to see the stand just a little bit higher , as some other reviewer have mention . I be 5 ' 10 '' and have to stoop just a little when pick the weight up . it be not a big deal because I do not have to bend much at all , but it be something I have to be aware of and careful about because of lower back weakness . another couple of inch in height would have be perfect . but overall , I can recommend the stand . +918 Dumbbell NEU 3 I have purchase both the shake weight for woman , and version for man . . they do the same thing , and do give you the work out that will `` over time '' give you definition and size . . I dont think the market need a Mens version , and to charge $ 20 more for it be label for man do not convince I either . I purchase to see if it be in fact a drastic improvement verse the original , and I didnt notice any such variable that would make I recommend it over the ORIGINAL Shake weight that be market towards woman . I mean before the male version come out , Charles Barkley a TNT guy be co-sign the female version during the NBA season . . Nuff Said ! lol ! +789 Dumbbell NEG 1 I buy this product for arm exercise . its not as good as it sound in commercial . I think the good old dumbell be better than this . I do not like it so I return this product for refund . +373 Dumbbell POS 5 I know what most people think when they see the shakeweight , but if you take a step back from the internet joke and the crude giggling , you actually feel you muscle burn after a few minute of shake . I use this when I go on walk and it wear I out by the time i be finish . its like do a pushup that focus on just you upper body . I love it . I get the man 's version because its way heavier than the female version for some reason . : -rrb- I would recommend buy from this seller as well ! this product arrive extremely quick , and the product be pristine and a decent price ! . +548 Dumbbell POS 5 Easy to assemble . very sturdy . overall a great value , especially with free shipping . you will be hard press to find another dumbbell rack that be equally well-built and better price . +959 Dumbbell NEG 1 this be one of those product that will collect dust ! I find it very difficult to use as direct and be concern that I could hurt myself with it ! +930 Dumbbell POS 4 I receive what I purchase with this . it be a 20 lb dumbbell . the only thing I be not happy about be that it be only sell as a single dumbbell instead of a pair . I misunderstand this when I order . I like the grip and it seem like the hex shape be easier to use than other dumbbell . +198 Dumbbell POS 5 this rack be a great value . it go together vary easily in about 1 hour . it be very sturdy and look a lot better than have my weight all over the floor . I would recommend this for any home workout gym . +136 Dumbbell POS 4 the Apex Dumbbell Rack be easy to assemble . the material be sturdy enough for most home dumbbell rack . the baked paint finish be consistent but may not wear well ; time will tell . +240 Dumbbell POS 4 good product . Easy use . take up little space . the vendor have a great deal of difficulty get this product to I and I have to do some prodding to get a response from they . but once I do make contact , they be helpful and appropriately apologetic . recommend this product but would do some more research on the vendor . +3 Dumbbell POS 5 I use this dumbbell for bicep curl . very nice and sturdy . on Amazon it be go for $ 30 i think ... here be the bottom line . shipping be almost as much as the product . its pretty much a rip off . I buy the from a store near my house that I work at and I pay $ 25 before any employee discount . now that $ 5 before shipping . good dumbbell but not worth 60 buck +595 Dumbbell POS 5 I would highly recommend Powerblocks to anyone who be look for a compact , convenient , and sturdy adjustable dumbbell set . they be less expensive than bowflex product , and they have less fine part that could be damage . my only concern with the Powerblocks be the setup of have you hand inside the weight chamber . however , that concern have be completely assuage . they be comfortable and easily use with a range of exercise . +977 Dumbbell POS 5 this be the perfect dumbbell set for home use ... compact , flexible , easy to use . +383 Dumbbell POS 5 buy it right here from amazon , I use this device everyday now . it fine tone my upper body muscle immensely . the workout be not as boring and tedius as traditional pushup and bench press . I use it everyday now ! great little gadget . +627 Dumbbell NEG 1 `` where the heck be the pulsation ? oh , I see . . I have to create the pulsation '' . unbelivable marketing . very deceptive . if you want to ceate the enrgy this product be suppoese to generate , then fine buy it . you -lrb- I -rrb- have to shake the crap out of it to get the video effect show in this product video . not battery operate . for $ 25 . total crap , change the marketing and reduce price and still I would only rate it a two star . Hope this help . +449 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy this for my girlfriend , but try it out before I wrap it -lrb- mwahahahahaha -rrb- . it be actually really hard , and I be sweating quite a bit after about 6 minute . not sure what the physical result will be for she , but if she keep use it I know she 'll get better at something ... Anyways , do what it say . Shakes , be a weight , and burn calorie . +244 Dumbbell NEG 1 I give the shake weight to my son for Xmas . it do not work . it create no kinetic energy or resistance . my 3 yr old granddaughter can shake it with no effect . you could hold a gallon of milk with out-stretched arm at shoulder level and get the same effect . even better . what a waste of money . I give it no star . edge in Reston , Va +972 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy these dumbbell from a local dealer instead of Amazon because of a sale . I have be look at the Bowflex select-type of dumbbell as well as these . after try they out at the store , I be sell . they be easy to manipulate and sturdy in construction . one would think that a square dumbbell would get in the way of do exercise -- this be not the case . the handle be in the middle of the box and the side tube be pad for comfort . I just finish a hour long dumbbell workout a few minute ago and it be everything I expect : bench press , military press , bent over row , seat curl , triceps extension , dumbbell deadlift , upright row , dumbbell squat , etc. . . all of these exercise be perform use this product . no problem encounter at all . +785 Dumbbell POS 5 I receive this rack for Christmas -lrb- 2011 -rrb- and just finish assembly it . the rack be a little bigger -lrb- depth -rrb- than expect , but I really like it . I only have it about half full of weight , but there be no doubt in my mind it would have no problem hold a full load . the only problem I run into be that the package hold all the nut and bolt come open during shipping . I have to dig through all the wrapping to find all the piece , and in the end be miss 1 washer . there be a phone number to call for miss part , but I find a suitable replacement washer in my tool box so it be a non-issue for I . I would recommend \/ repurchase this item again if I need to . +962 Dumbbell POS 5 just a quick note of the selecttech 552 Dumbbell stand as I be very pleased with the quality and the fabrication of this equipment , even though it be make in China . also one of the reviewer make it sound as though it be like assemble a space craft . it be very easy and well instruct for assembly all you need be a Allen wrench which come with it and a adjustable wrench or to make it really easy a 9\/16th wrench . also Amazon have the best price and I have never be disappoint with they service . this stand will save the lower back and well worth the money , if you be serious about exercise with the Dumbbells . +135 Dumbbell NEU 3 i get these as novelty gift , but they come without the packaging in a brown box . if you just want the weight it would be fine ! +370 Dumbbell NEG 1 I can not believe I buy this , it be completely useless for I . I go to the gym regularly , so I know what to expect when they claim it `` dramatically '' increase muscle activity . it do not make my muscle feel `` on fire '' , and I be by no mean a hard core weight lifter . I do follow the video instruction , but it be no better . overall , the product be make of what feel to be a cheap plastic material and the movement of the weight inside be not smooth as you would expect . I try use it a couple time but give up ... it be now sit somewhere in my garage . I should have buy a normal pair of dumbbell . +676 Dumbbell NEG 1 I purchase this think it be a set of 2 & its only one i be so piss off . who sell 1 dumbbell . waist of time & money ! +309 Dumbbell POS 5 I just buy these Bowflex dumbbell weight and the Bowflex weight rack . I love they both ! they be easy to put together and be a great set . +701 Dumbbell POS 5 it work great . it take a little while to get use to it , but my flabby arm start get tone and that what I want . +177 Dumbbell POS 4 I have purchase the smaller set of these dumbbell that go up to 24 pound as a gift last year however the gift recipient need heavier weight so I buy this set . the reason to not give it a 5 star rating be : this set start at 10 pound and adjust to 45 pound and the lighter set end at 24 pound so I feel that this set should have start at a heavier weight . the only other reason it do not get the extra star be that the stand for these much be purchase separately and they be not inexpensive . otherwise , it be a great product overall . they do not take up much space . they be easy to use . I have coworker that be personal trainer that actually recommenede they when I be ask to make sure it be worth the money . I receive my order within a few day of order and do not pay extra for expedited shipping . +466 Dumbbell NEG 2 this be not for people that be start to work out ... you need to be well build to be able to move it freely . and grip of it be bad ... I use it now and then but at time it can really mess up you finger . +267 Dumbbell POS 4 First of all , I would like to address those that say you can do the same thing with household object and dumbell . no , you really can not . the whole dynamic inertia thing may sound phony , but the movement of the weight really seem to help I more than use of dumbell ; I feel a lot more muscular contraction go on which seem like a great way to build muscle and get lesser-used muscle go . the shake weight itself get a 5 for I , but the dvd get a 2 or 3 . the reason I be not such a fan of the dvd be the fact that there be not a lot of explanation about the move and frankly , it do not look like the instructor be even be consistent -lrb- during the shoulder section , she change she arm position , then when they cut to the side view it be back where it be suppose to be . -rrb- my main gripe , however , be that I be hope for more from this dvd and more from the maker of Shake Weight . maybe another instructional with more advanced move or just another video to work out to ? more tip ? when look at the website , there be no resource available . they clearly do not care what you do once you order it . so all in all , this be a great product . I be feel the result and my arm look a little tighter after just a week of daily use . if you be look for a product which go above and beyond to keep user motivate ; beware . the Shake Weight be great but the maker of this product do not provide much in addition to a bare-bones dvd ... unless you want to buy a $ 10 timer . +690 Dumbbell POS 5 simple to assemble , study , attractive and inexpensive . hold my full set of dumbbbell , from 5 lb . to 40 lb . -lrb- 8 pair -rrb- with room for one or two more . I shop around and these turn out to be a terrific value . +845 Dumbbell NEG 1 when I see the Shakeweight at Bed Bath and Beyond , it look like a lot of fun . I buy it , take it home and do the exercise on the dvd . it be fun , yes , and the lady on the dvd have great energy , very inspiring . unfortunately , very shortly after finish the workout , my neck start hurt pretty bad . I give it a few day , and finally have to make a appointment with my chiropractor . he tell I that two of the exercise on the dvd be probably what injure my neck . both exercise hyper-extended my shoulder , and he say unless you be super fit and know what you be do , weight-bearing exercise that hyper-extend you shoulder be a invitation to injury . -lrb- the specific exercise that hurt I be work with the weight behind the head , and the last one on the dvd design to work the shoulder where there be a lot of shoulder rotation . -rrb- I want to like this product , and once I finish healing I might give the other exercise another try before take it back , but I feel I need to warn people . the dvd just do not make it clear enough how a beginner can avoid injury and this really hurt ! +289 Dumbbell POS 4 would recommend to other . very sturdy dumbbell that allow easy storage . price be a bit of a turnoff , however with the amount of room I be save by use these they be quite worth it . +430 Dumbbell POS 5 I buy this for my daughter who be 16 and she love it . she want to work out with different weight not too heavy so she can keep herself in shape . it make I too want to exercise . +389 Dumbbell POS 5 if you work it , it will work you . well make and to I , it be easy to use . and I can take it anywhere . ca not do that with my weight bench !! get one , you 'll like it . +362 Dumbbell POS 5 I do not realize that you actually have to shake the weight , but after you use you really feel the burn on the biceps . +616 Dumbbell POS 5 if you be look for a sturdy , easy to assemble , rack that will hold 6-8 pair of dummbell , this be a good one to buy . I have a small home gym and need just this size rack . in 30 minute I have this rack put together and it be very solid . for the price you can not beat it . I be a personal trainer and I have see a lot of equipment . this be a great buy , especially compare to some of the flimsy rack that be market for home use . +141 Dumbbell POS 4 it do actually work . you will feel the burn right from the begining . you 'll start do it and think this be not so bad , but after 15-20 seconds you start to feel it . the dvd really be only a $ 1 value in my view as it do not really add any benefit that the enclosed booklet do not tell you . +879 Dumbbell POS 5 I love the Shake weight and the seller be great . I receive the package in 2 day . thank you +429 Dumbbell POS 4 you can feel the burn on you first workout , it work but i do not think it build muscle . it keep you body firm . +44 Dumbbell POS 5 this be really well construct and quite solid once assemble . the packaging it come in be another story . it work well with popular hex shape dumbbell . not so well for smaller , coated dumbbell that weigh less than 10 pound -lrb- they do not fit well -rrb- . overall , a great value for the money . +368 Dumbbell POS 5 this product definitely do work for strengthen muscle and tone what you may already have there . you be not go to compete for Mr. Olympia use this by any means . I have be use it often for week now and I really like it just to get that extra pump while do a normal workout . it be a solid piece of equipment for that alone . I have certainly notice a difference in tone in my arm since use it . I would recommend it . +762 Dumbbell POS 5 I must say that I be quite impressed with the build quality of this rack . it surpass some of the stuff that I have see in the gym over a number of year . right now , I use it to support dumbbell from 5lb to 20lb in 2.5lb-increment . also , the rubber footing edge make it a good choice for tile or equivalent hard surface without cause damage . I really like this rack and it be highly recommend on my part ! +978 Dumbbell POS 5 I be compare this to the Body solid gdr363 which be slightly more expensive , but since I need two I go ahead and get this one . honestly , I have no complaint . it be incredibly sturdy , look good , and be easier than expect to assemble . no need to get anything more complicated or expensive . +974 Dumbbell POS 5 after try out a variety of dumbbell over the year , this be now the one I recommend and the one I be certain I 'll always stick with . I feel as though this design be make by someone who actually work out or do market research as to the complaint of other dumbbell prior to manufacturing . here be some difference you 'll note in these : \*\* Neoprene coating where other have shiny vinyl or metal that cause the dumbbell to slip from you hand during a sweaty workout or at the very least make it difficult to grip , these be coated in neoprene which be not slick but still do not collect dirt and it easy to clean . even better , it protect wooden floor when you set they down in the midst of work out ... or whatever else you might set it on . metal dumbbell leave scratch . hexagonal design : where other dumbbell be typically round for no good reason , the fact that no matter how you put these down or how you hold they , they will not and can not roll away from you or roll off a table etc. be for sure a plus . easy-to-read weight : whereas many dumbbell have the weight raise on the metal surface , these be simple to see at a glance when you choose you dumbbell if you have multiple set . better yet , all the weight amount be color code in different color of dumbbell so even if you can not see the number , you pick up the right weight in a flash during some fast cardio move . Stylin ' : sometimes bright cheerful weight equipment be just a bit more motivate and fun for work out . I be lookin ' at you , royal purple set ! plus a few set kinda brigthen up that workout room . I have no complaint ... my fave . +254 Dumbbell NEG 1 I have email twice before on how to return item . I have get no answer on how to do that . Martha Maus +76 Dumbbell POS 5 I find it easier to place my 552 dumbbell back have they raise on this stand vice sit on the ground . the stand look good and be well construct . I do not have problem with assembly , it go much quicker if you have you own tool -lrb- ratchet\/alan wrench -rrb- and the instruction be straight forward . it take about 30 minute start to finish , luckily I do not have the hole alignment issue other have post . I be not sure but previous user may have have trouble if they tighten down all the hardware before everything be assemble , the direction state when to torque down the bolt . if you have ever put any home furniture together you should have no problem . I still worry a little about the durability of the dumbbell , but have no doubt that the stand will last a long time . +334 Dumbbell POS 4 like everyone say , these be good weight . they feel nice in the hand , give you good grip and comfort when do lift behind the back , etc. . however , be careful to purchase 2 , as these be not sell in pair . for some reason , one of the picture include in the item description show 2 dumbbell which give I the impression that it be 2 for the price . while the cost be not bad for a quality product like this , I be definitely surprise that it be a single dumbbell and not a set . of course , it could just be I who be the dumbbell . good lifting all ... +500 Dumbbell POS 5 this stand be the perfect height for average person to `` lift off '' the dumbbell . not only that but the unique design let you stand comfortably close to the weight so you can lift they off the stand with you leg ... not you back ! +532 Dumbbell NEG 1 the title pretty much speak for itself . Walmart do not offer the weight over 40lb but they be much cheaper there . even if you order they online they be only $ 1 to ship per dumbbell , which still beat the price on here by a significant amount . +34 Dumbbell POS 4 the rack be easy to assemble . sturdy design that have hold up to several month of use . good price and meet expectation . +163 Dumbbell POS 5 pro - Easy to build , few part - the wheel be great for move those heavy dumbbell around - the wheel can be lock in - option to not use the wheel - just the right height for I , I be 5 ' 11 '' - strap safely secure the dumbbell - small footprint con - none final word - if you already own the Bowflex SelectTech Dumbbells you 'll see how helpful it be in they workout dvd . +829 Dumbbell POS 4 I buy the Shake Weight because a friend have recommend it . it be actually work . my arm and shoulder have better tone . it also seem to be work on my upper ab and chest . I initially experience the tired and sore muscle that you get when start a new exercise program . now the muscle soreness be go and I have increase my workout time to the manufacturer recommendation . it be a television product that , to my surprise , work as well as advertise . +668 Dumbbell POS 5 I be skeptical about this purchase , but this product give I as much as I can handle when exercise my arm , and shoulder . you can increase the work out intensity easily by simply increase the frequency or by shake harder . +283 Dumbbell NEG 1 my husband order this shakeweight and one end fly off while he be shake it . Springs and little part fly around the room . we try to put it back together , but could not . he do not get enough use out of it to know if it be effective for strengthen . +842 Dumbbell NEG 2 try this out for a few month , totally not worth it . why not just use a can of soup . it do not do much . probably should be battery operate -lrb- for more resistance -rrb- . give it away as a gag gift . +502 Dumbbell POS 4 I be impressed . . so far these seem to be rather solid , I be 6 ' 2 '' 270 and lift thing up , and put they down . I be surprise by how durable , and easy they be to assemble ... if this be a little higher I would be much happier , that be the only reason I be give it four star instead of five . overall great product and I be happy I purchase it along with my 1090 . +831 Dumbbell POS 5 I just assemble it take about one hour and you need a small crescent wrench . the bolt require some serious tightening but be very sturdy and roll easily with the 10\/90 . I work up a sweat do this but instruction be very good . I be happy with the purchase . Ladies you might need help with this . +472 Dumbbell NEU 3 well it work and but not as effective as other would have you believe . I mean if you get arm that be flabby saggy and drag on the floor there no way this will work for you . if you have the type of arm like I do that not saggy but have a enough fat to block you from see muscle detention and have like a inner fat do not no how else to explain it . this will most likely not work or work very little , how to explain if I flex my arm it feel hard but look like cooking dough . so after about a year with this there be no way this will work like I want it to , but it dose work just not go make you have arm like the Rock . +210 Dumbbell POS 5 it give a good workout , but I hear you can go blind by use the shakeweight too often . +14 Dumbbell POS 5 nice bar BELL and CAN USE easily . the PRICE WAS ok . I do not KNOW if I could have GOTTEN IT CHEAPER have I shop around more but I need it to go with my dvd . +590 Dumbbell POS 4 this be a excellent dumbbell rack . it be sturdy and look nice and hold plenty of weight for home use . my only complaint be the poor packaging which seem to be a common complaint . all it need be a couple small piece of cardboard wrap around the end of the bundle of rail , but without this small piece of protection the stand be fairly scratch up . even the customer service sticker be mar beyond recognition . I be not bent out of shape over this because I 'll give it my fair share of ding and scratch from continual rack of my dumbbell . it just would have be nice to start out with a new product which actually look new . I do end up short one carriage bolt , so I send a email . after over a week with no response I call the number and the customer service rep be very helpful . in just moment I be off the phone with a new bolt on its way . the shipping be quick and my rack be now complete . I would certainly recommend this rack to anyone , but I would set expectation concern the packaging . +493 Dumbbell NEG 1 awesome , just open my package to see only one weight . I do not see that it say sell as each , so that be my fault , but the low rating go to the price point . I go with these because they be cheaper -lrb- only by a few dollar -rrb- then the other set , but those price be for 2 . should have go with those , now I have pay double what those be just to get a complete set . the price really be not worth it for these weight - not to mention it seem a bit like false advertising . +438 Dumbbell POS 4 I recently purchase the Apex 3-Tier Dumbbell Rack , and have be really please with it . it be extremely functional and maximize use of floor space quite well , in addition to be very stable while hold six pair of hex dumbbell -lrb- with rack space to spare -rrb- . we have a nice-sized basement area that be carve up so I can use part of it for my various workout routine , while my kid have a section for use with they friend . plus , there be a pool table for the adult , and a area for home theater . that require I to put a premium on convert minimal space into a area functional enough for both dumbbell resistance training and cardio training . it also require equipment that be safe for I to use in a small area , and safe to have around with pre-teen kid play nearby throughout the day . the apex rack meet all those requirement . the design lean away from I , allow I easy access and spare my knuckle as I take dumbbell off and then return they to the rack . it be also high enough that many of the weight can be return to the rack with minimal strain on my lower back . finally , its solid construction give it a sturdy stance , and the three compact tier allow I to tuck it away and out of view of family and company that might be use the home theater area . it be terrific quality for the price , and the only complaint I have have be the condition of the box upon delivery -lrb- which have large hole punch into it , and some part loose on the inside as a result -rrb- . however , the rack assemble easily and relatively quickly , and be ready to go in roughly 40 minute . I would highly recommend this rack and certainly be pleased with the performance . +32 Dumbbell POS 5 a much need addition to anyone look to purchase Bowflex SelectTech 552 dumbbell - will definitely save you back ! fairly easy to put together and very sturdy once assemble . +584 Dumbbell POS 5 item be as describe .

I have be think about upgrade some of my maglite to lead when this aa lead MAGLITE become available . it be slightly longer than the non LED AA MAGLITE . the led be much brighter than the incandescent version and have much whiter light . in fact it be so bright in comparison that I think a 25 % power mode or even variable power would be a good idea . it do not focus as well as the incandescent maglite but it be still much brighter so this be not really a issue . I think this product be extremely good value for the level of light output . I believe a led conversion kit of similar quality would cost about as much . you can drop it and it still work . I have drop mine twice by accident with no ill effect . I think MAGLITE have do a good job with lead technology . the LED AA MAGLITE be a big advance over the incandescent version and easily worth the extra money . there be also a 3xaa version which I be tell be much brighter . I want one to keep in my pocket so I prefer the shorter version . the 3xaa may suite other people better . +859 Flashlight NEG 1 I buy two of these , they both last less than a week , then the switch start change all on they own while use they . the be both unreliable and worthless to use at this point . too bad really ... because they be be great when they work . rip maglite aa lead flashlight without a redesign . +933 Flashlight POS 5 I have own the same 2 d cell maglite for about eight year , and it still work like new . it cost a little more than most of the 2 d cell flashlight out there , but it be worth it . the variable beam width be great , as be the solid aircraft grade aluminum housing . I believe this flashlight will last until I loose it or die , because it be so well build . I own some other water proof emergency 2 d cell flashlight that float , and have a decent beam but they do not have a variable beam that will go from wide to a very tight beam of light , and they do not compare to the solid construction , and reliability of the 2 d cell maglite . this be a flashlight that you can carry in you car suv , Truck or what ever you drive , and it be a great choice because of its size and weight it should fit any just about any glove compartment . +607 Flashlight NEG 2 I have carry a 2aa mini-mag for over 12 year . for the price , its a good light . BUT , with lead technology become common , this light be become outdate . on the positive side , the mag 2aa be a well build and reliable device . however , the beam quality be very poor . its not that bright to start out with , but worst yet it lose brightness very quickly and turn brown as the battery decrease . the beam be full of hole , ring , and blemish no matter how much it be focus -lrb- adjust -rrb- . have say that , one can buy a lead conversion unit from Opalec and install it on a new mini-mag . the Opalec conversion unit provide steady brigtness for 10 hour and turn a mini-mag into a state-of-the-art compact flashlight . I have a Opalec unit on my Mini-Mag , and I no longer use the standard mag bulb -- the standard mag bulb be junk in my opinion even with that say , there be much better compact flashlight available . the Pelican m6 led be shorter in length than a mini-mag , and yet be so much brighter with a superior beam -lrb- pure white beam that stay white as the battery be depleate -rrb- . if price be you sole concern , the Minimag will get the job do , but at a mediocre performance level -lrb- compare to more modern design -rrb- . the Minimag be a reliable and well build light , despite its inferior optics . for the price , its good enough to give a moderate recommendation . if Maglite upgrade they design and offer led , I think that will really improve they beam quality . +443 Flashlight NEU 3 I would have buy a light with lead instead of this bulb light , but I buy this one mainly for the price and dimension . I can use it as a striking tool to accompany my pistol should I check thing out at night in my house , and if it be break , I only lose twenty buck . +711 Flashlight NEU 3 I have have several of these for many year . good for find a keyhole . have now discover the 3 aa lead mag . major improvement , a REAL light up the night instrument ! for twice the cost , it be 5 time the light . pass on the 2 aa , move up to the 3 aa lead ! +446 Flashlight POS 5 I have a full size maglite that be just plain awesome ! I buy this small one for a friend who like purple stuff and she love it . +840 Flashlight NEU 3 yes , you can buy smaller and lighter flashligh that put out more light and have longer battery life . but ... if you be look for something that be build like a tank and produce a decent amount of light , then I recommend get one .

I spend too much money on a product that do not last +105 Flashlight POS 5 have read the other review , I decide to add one myself : many police department standard issue mag Lite product . the 2,3 . . etc d size flashlight make reliable flashlight and they weight can also make they useful as a baton in a pinch . I have several different mag light -lrb- the minus 's , the 2 , and a 5 d monster -rrb- . they always work , the beam be generally good , and for the money , they be a good value . they be not the best flashlight ever make ... but for 20-30-40 buck , they be a great flashlight for about 99 % of what people need flashlight for ... if you really need alot of quick light - i.e. , you be plan to rely on this light for a tactical or self-defense situation , then I would not buy a mag Lite ... ASP , Surefire -lrb- my favorite -rrb- , Inova , etc. , make much better flashlight for that situation . a surefire c2 or z2 model be about the size of a Mini-Mag but deliver about 5 time the light of the largest mag lite product ... all without a focusable beam . the technology of SureFire be unparallelled , in my opine , but I think it be akin to compare a Ferarri to a Ford ... yeah , they be both car , but that be about as far as the comparison should go ... also , most high-performance flashlight run for about a hour or so ... mag 's will run longer . also , you can go to any hd or hardware store and buy mag , battery , lamp , etc. ... try do that with a SureFire ... NOT . so there be comparative advantage and disadvantage to both ... mag 's product be good ... but you get what you pay for and not every flashlight be suitable for every application . if you be a LE officer , military , etc. , it be unlikely you will want mag Lite as the product you be go to trust you life to ... they just be not bright enough to stun someone in a life and death situation ... if you want a decent reliable flashlight for home emergency use , then mag lite be the best product you can possibly buy . ... I own both for different reason ... I just wish I own a Ford and a Ferarri too ! +662 Flashlight POS 4 this be my favorite flashlight because it be light , compact , very durable , and fit my application . it do have its drawback though -lrb- which I see as a positive -rrb- : 1 . it have a traditional incandescent bulb , NOT lead -lrb- which I prefer since the light be yellowish-white instead of the harsh white of a lead -rrb- 2 . because it do not use a led bulb , the battery drain very quickly -lrb- I notice the light come out of it get considerably dim after about a hour of use , but it be still work . I have rechargeable battery so this be not a big deal . -rrb- 3 . it do NOT produce a lot of light -lrb- it be great for application where you do not need or want too much light -rrb- overall , it be a good flashlight -lrb- and you can put it on you key-chain -rrb- , but it do have its drawback and be not for application which require a lot of light or long battery life . +654 Flashlight POS 4 this be exactly what I be look for to hold my 2 d cell mag lite hook on a standard belt or a duty belt !! +86 Flashlight POS 5 this be a good product . I own a few other of this exact product and I really like they . my fiance want one of she own so I get she this one . it be much better than the little cheap china-made one . +399 Flashlight POS 5 I can not reiterate enough what the other reviewer have say about the mini-mag light . I own about 4 or 5 of these thing and they be great . I have previously own maybe 15 to 20 other plastic flashlight in the past and all have bit the dust . Broken case be the number 1 reason due to a drop or be step on . for some other reason , these other have crummy switch which fail easily . not the mag light . the switch be simple and tough -lrb- I know since I have take it apart -rrb- the battery life be great , the case be highly durable . I love the candle mode -lrb- i.e. take the head off completely -rrb- I have also mixed and matched part from different color to make mine unique . my 3 year old son love he and it be easy for he to turn on or off . he be really rough with he toy , but have never stop the minus mag . -lrb- warning - kid do like to take the head of the light off which expose the lamp . if the lamp break , then it could be dangerous to they . -rrb- finally , the spare bulb in the tail piece be awesome , very handy . when I replace the bulb -lrb- which be need sometimes -rrb- I always make sure there be a good spare in the tail piece . I could go on and on . if you be look for a cool gift , or need some extra light , buy a few of they . they be the best . +231 Flashlight POS 5 this flashlight be extremely strong enough to fight with it can be consider as a weapon . in fact i like it soo much as i buy this item and the red one also . recommend +462 Flashlight POS 5 to start , I be a tradesman who have to carry he lifeline on he belt . not only on the job , but I be also the unnofficial handyman of this apartment complex . every time I even move to take my workbelt off , it seem to be a signal for a neighbor to bang on the wall say something be on fire or will not open all the way . and the Mini mag be the universal flashlight . it be sell everywhere , include this fine site and even family store , and despite its legendary quality and design , be at the most ten dollar with include holster . I prefer the classic aa design , where CA not you find aa ? I have use one of these on my belt for about four year . it be a excellent tool , and I have never have one wear out on I . the bulb , however , be the Achilles heel . the rest of the flashlight be military , police and trade quality , for civilian price . but these dang bulb go orange after a couple week and last a couple month of casual use . I be consider shell out forty buck for a small led , just to save the money on bulb . then , walk through a sport outlet , I pass the flashlight section . and next to the usual Mini mag with holster , which I own close to six of , be a Nite ize accessory design for this same flashlight . a lead bulb . now , I have see these online for about twenty to thirty buck , and this be a ten dollar flashlight ! but this one just sit around on a shelf be eight buck , about a buck less than the flashlight 's shelf price . what the heck , I get one . to quote another review , my trusty old mag be now a state-of-the-art torch , with nearly triple battery life of the old bulb . and led , as all mag-hater know , do not burn out or even go out when bump . so , for a total of twenty buck , you get a american-quality led beam that compete and plain out whip fifty-dollar import with plastic casing . I would not recomend this flashlight if there be not there be a way to fix its biggest flaw . just get you hand on this led adapter , and put it in like you would the standard bulb . replace the mirror reflector , and stomp the old bulb into powder . you will not be need they , ever again . there be also a combo pack availiable , for the same price , that include a push-button adapter if you have ever wish you could tap a red button on the end instead of twist it on and off . I have not try it , but it come with the LED , and for eight buck ? and hey , the flashlight itself come in six different color . these thing be easily replace if one get bang up or you room-mate\/girlfriend draw all over it with sharpie while she be on the phone . I have have these work perfectly even whenhe asing h be through Hades and back , but some prefer a more formal-looking flashlight . just take the lead out and put it in the new one , those bulb last forever . and now , so will this flashlight . +106 Flashlight POS 5 great product with a quick and easy installation . as long as the clip be correctly place and align there should be no worry of break they or damage they . the plastic do feel a bit weak but they be surprisingly very strong little clip . +948 Flashlight POS 5 the dw908 be a indispensable battery-powered portable and adjustable light that be vital to any garage - especially where use a plug-in drop light just will not work , and where you need both hand to complete the task at hand . the battery use in this light be the 18v lithium ion from DeWalt , and the lamp be very efficient = lasting hour between necessary recharge . I buy this as a gift for a friend , and the use it have already get be phenomenal . +530 Flashlight POS 5 great product . i look in all my local store and could only find a 14.4 volt bulb so i look here and sure enuf they have just what i be lookin for ! +201 Flashlight POS 5 at less than $ 10 deliver , these Dewalt bulb be a fantastic value . they be the direct replacement bulb for my Porter Cable 12V Xenon flashlight . the Ace Hardware store that I order from have super fast shipping . the reviewer that give one-star because of the shipping cost must not value they time or think anything of bure up gas try to located these at a mega home improvement center . +469 Flashlight POS 5 when my husband receive this as a gift ... I promptly steal it from he . it be nice and light and you can keep it in you purse or in the glove box in the car . if you headlight go out you could use it to drive by ... just kidding . the light output be very impressive . I like this size since the larger 4 and 5 battery size be very heavy . I wish they would dream up something besides the diamond-knurled grip . it give I the same feeling as chalk scrap on a chalkboard do ! ~ the Rebecca Review +643 Flashlight POS 5 I truly would not get the mag lite with out this accessory . it come in handy when you want to mount you maglite to a wall . this help you to keep it with in reach +274 Flashlight NEU 3 my mag instrument s4d016 black heavy duty 4 D-Cell Flashlight get a lot of use . this be the one -lrb- and the 6d-cell -rrb- light that lot of law enforcement carry . it be effective as a flashlight and as a tool if the use of force need to be escalate in subdue a bg -lrb- bad Guy -rrb- - order give with confidence and with commanding voice , physical force include night stick or mag light , side arm , shot gun -rrb- . there be a lot go on within the technology of flashlight recently . LED , Lithium battery , focus bezel , etc. . the mag have fall from grace a bit technologically , but be still a great flashlight for police \/ emt INCLUDING look for criminal , terrorist or signalling for a chopper pick up . the Mag Instrument S4D016 Black Heavy Duty 4 D-Cell Flashlightt be very durable and they be prove reliable . but even the police and emt and military be switch over to more tecnologically advanced product and technique to go along with the new equipment . . they have to . they life and the life of other depend on the best equipment available . and for a long time that be Mag Light . do not get I wrong . I have depend on mag lite of all size for year . but head to head , thesurefire brand have quickly surpass mag lite in every importantant aspect of flashlight - usable light power , size and weight . the Mag Instrument S4D016 Black Heavy Duty 4 D-Cell Flashlight be a good value and I have several in the house and the vehicle . but they be be replace by surefire as they wear out . John Row +890 Flashlight POS 5 the bulb work perfectly with my black and decker 14.4 volt torch light . +941 Flashlight POS 4 when I receive it , I quickly open it up and pop the battery in . the intensity of this flashlight amaze I when compare to maglite of comparable size . it be able to compete with the 3d mag , too ! I be plan to upgrade the 3d to a led bulb because of this flashlight . it certainly be a improvement over the standard 2aa krypton maglite . it have `` dark spot '' but not the kind that the regular mag do . the beam be pretty round -lrb- a perfect circle , unlike the regular one -rrb- and have a bright spot in the center . the focus can be adjust to make the center wider or more focus . other than that , it be not really focusable much . \ Overall , a great buy for the money . handy , and bright ! +682 Flashlight NEU 3 I 'll admit , I love lead flashlight - the pure , white light , the extended battery life , the look on the face of my friend when they point the flashlight into they eye upon examination ... so when I read that mag have release a lead flashlight , I immediately go in pursuit of one , and I be find it to be a mixed bag . from a build quality standpoint , mag still make a solid product . the barrel and head be make from aluminum , rubber washer be use for a water resistant seal , and they can take be drop off a workbench . one thing I be wonder why they leave out , however , be a hook for a lanyard - the bottom cap of this flashlight be flat . one of the main thing the mag have go for it over other lead flashlight design however be that the beam can be focus - and this be due to the deeper reflector design and the shape of the led . focus the beam do increase its intensity - a bit , but nothing like the old incandescent mag lite - I find myself use it about halfway between just on and fully focus , as it prove the most practical . now though , for the disappointing part : I own a 1-watt luxeon-based led flashlight -lrb- that cost approximately the same as the mag -rrb- , and a 5-watt led flashlight from SureFire -lrb- which cost ... considerably more -rrb- . the Luxeon LED put out approximately 20 lumen , and the SureFire put out a blind 100 lumen , so at 3-watt , it would be safe to assume that this mag Lite would be about halfway between the two , right ? wrong . the beam be about the same intensity as the 1-watt luxeon -lrb- which be pretty bright by itself -rrb- ; ever so slightly brighter when completely focus , but then the luxeon spread its light more smoothly than the mag . the mag have slightly longer full-output battery life due to the fact that it use aa battery instead of AAA 's , but if you already have a good luxeon or other high-output led flashlight , I would certainly say try to get a demo of one of these before you buy one . do not get I wrong , it be definately a cut above the $ 10 one you see in the wait line at shopping center , but I be wonder if mag get into the lead market now be too little , too late ? +509 Flashlight POS 5 I install these in the ` saddlebag ' of my Chevy Avalanche and they work very well . I actually use some special fastener from Lowes to use as I be install these in plastic . they have a very firm grip on the flashlight and it look like these will last a long time . +347 Flashlight POS 5 the item be ship and arrive within a few day . the replacement battery work great for my mag light . +669 Flashlight POS 4 install bracket on a flat piece of board and mount it on the wall behind a hall door . flashlight snap into place very secure . I would not want to get too aggressive when snap flashlight on because bracket be heavy plastic but still could break . with proper care this mount system should last perhaps a lifetime . +504 Flashlight POS 5 the shipping be somewhat timely for this product . it be a typical MAGLIGHT , which be a good thing . it have a extra bulb in the tail . it have be very reliable so far , although I have not have it for too long . during the night , when outside , it stay with I , and cut a swath through the night with a bright and precise beam . I have know people that own MAGLIGHTS , and I have want one for a while . they be so well construct . they be also american make , which be great on my nationalistic conscience . if you have never own a MAGLIGHT , I suggest one for everyone . +906 Flashlight POS 5 this behemoth weigh in at 3 lb . and be 20 inch long . I add the optional xenon upgrade bulb 6 cell Mag-Num Star Xenon C or D Replacement Lamps 1\/Pk . . it be so darn bright , I could not fairly compare it to anything else I have . I finally take out the rechargeable , 55 watt , halogen spotlight Coleman PML8000Y Rechargeable Handheld Spotlight the Coleman use a automobile headlight bulb , and this maglite produce light that be almost as bright ; boy , be I surprise . yes , it be big and inconvenient , but so be the portable car headlight . the spotlight give you 15 minute of strong light for 20 hour of charge , but the Maglite give a few hour on one set of battery . it be also focusable , so you can get either strong area light or tight beam to throw light hundred of foot away . also , note the rather reasonable $ $ $ compare to other , similar , but more expensive light . if you want a super-powerful flashlight and can deal with the size and weight , this flashlight be the ultimate , most powerful flashlight I have ever use . the only thing more powerful would be rechargeable halogen spot and hid 's . +305 Flashlight POS 5 great WELL MADE \/ BOUGHT the 2 MOUNTING CLIPS & RUBBER ANTIROLL COVER \/ BIG heavy BRIGHT .

I sleep with it on my belt for four night and it be on my belt during daylight hour too . the tendency for it to fall out of its holster can be solve with a heavy rubber band loop a couple of time around the sheath to add tension . for a week after my power be restore I continue to carry that little light on my belt , because my friend or neighbor power might not have be restore and it be easy to carry and handy to have . I have bond with the little flashlight and will always recommend it . although I have since add a 3-aa maglite lead to my stable and would probably recommend that light for folk that be only go to have one good flashlight around . 12-8-2009 Update : mag-lite have new and improve they 2 aa lead light , and I just happen to have one . subjectively , it appear to be 20 % brighter than the old style 2 aa lead light . it also have a 25 % power mode which will allow it to burn continuously for over a day . the blink and SOS mode be nice , but I doubt the average person will ever have a call for those function . although the old style 3 aa led be brighter than the new style 2 aa lead , the 2 aa be handier to carry and the low power function have I convinced this be the most useful flashlight to have around . this be the most versatile flashlight I own .

I keep this flashlight near my bed so that I do not have to switch on the light and wake up the house in case I need to find something at night . it have be work great so far like all maglite product . I like the different light-switching mode that it offer and find that this make it useful when I be in the wood and need to signal someone . +630 Flashlight POS 5 like several of the reviewer here , I have difficulty find replacement bulb for my Makita BL185 flashlight . these work perfectly . they be just as bright , or perhaps a bit brighter , than the original . -lrb- it be hard to tell because I have be in the dark for a bit ! -rrb- they be also MUCH cheaper than they counterpart at Home Depot or Lowe 's . I have a prime account ; so I pay no shipping , and they arrive in a day and a half . some reviewer mention heat related problem . my flashlight come with xenon bulb originally and get pretty hot . these be no different . my original bulb last many year , and I expect these will , as well . just be sure to use common handling practice and do not touch the bulb with you finger . if you experience be like mine , you 'll be happy about this choice . +40 Flashlight POS 5 I never know how much my old battery be lack until I receive this new battery and give my flashlight a new lease on life . Amazon also have a excellent price . +311 Flashlight NEU 3 I would give it 3.5 star - no half star allow - 3 star be more accurate than 4 . the construction quality of the flashlight be just ok - not very good . it might be easily break - compare with my 3 d-battery maglite buy in 2005 , this one be not on the same bar . the beam be very bright , and by a single twist of the switch , it reduce to 1\/3 . the operation be simple and nice - twist to turn it on , quick twist again for reduce beam , again for flash , and again for so . Main problem that I give it 3 star - after turn it on , I hundred ton of micro air bubble in the front glass . for a $ 20 maglite flash light , I will not stand with it . I mainly use the small flash light to examine dust and fungus inside lens and other equipment - the air bubble give I a illusion of dust . this be undesired . I be now look for another high quality , compact flashlight . +378 Flashlight POS 5 easy to use , very convenient , very bright light , battery be LONG LASTING , fairly LIGHTWEIGHT , PIVOTING HEAD make a two person job easier when there be ONLY one person to DO the job ! +780 Flashlight POS 5 this be my 3rd or 4th purchase of this type of flashlight . when you loan it to someone or let they use it , somehow it never come back . Amazon pricing allow for repurchase without pain .

Trust I , you will make you money back in the long run . I only feel cheated because all of my maglite will outlast my lifetime . I be go to have to leave they to someone in my will . +269 Flashlight POS 5 I love my minus maglite - it be perfect for keep in my purse for those time when I be stuck and in need of light . it come in handy all the time ! I recently give this light as a gift to a 12 year old boy , and he love it too . it be just so reliable , sturdy , and the bulb last for age and age . the price be great for something that will last forever . +447 Flashlight POS 5 great product , only problem be there be no spot to attach any type of string to the bottom like I have see on other model . keep this in mind when purchase the accesory kit . +343 Flashlight POS 5 I carry a mag-light with I for a good many year while drive truck . a truck cab be probably one of the hardest place there be on flashlight , they never seem to last yet I never have a problem with the mag-light once in a truck stop I see a driver set he mag light on a tire and forget it be there , when he start to move the truck the light fall off and be run over by the tire . when he realize what he have do he stop and pick up the light and it be still work . any other flashlight would have be flatten . if nothing else this make a believer out of I . +525 Flashlight POS 5 three of these be wrap under the Christmas tree for my husband when the power go out for a few hour . my husband begin look for flashlight , but be disappoint that we never have any decent one around the house . I hand he a early present , and as he unwrap it he announce , `` finally ! a good flashlight . '' it be super bright and the beam can be adjust to suit you need . c battery make the flashlight nice and slim ... easy to hold . +818 Flashlight NEG 1 work great for a week or so . good light except after a week or so it will not stay on . you have to shake it and turn it on and off to get it to come back on . I be go to send it back to Mag Light ... +827 Flashlight POS 4 I give it 4 star - 5 star for its usefulness and 3 for its build quality . I have several cordless tool from different make , so I be not use up the battery all the time like I be suppose to from what I have read , but have this flashlight around help I at least cycle through my DeWalt 12v battery . the flashlight have a lightweight feel to it without the battery install , so it clerly do not feel as `` heavy duty '' or solid as , let 's say , a drill might feel , but I figure what should I expect ? maybe the yellow and black color scheme along with the DeWalt label make I expect more ? but , heck , it be only a flashlight ! you can not vary the beam width as you can with a maglite but you can pivot the head which have prove useful at least once . lastly , I be not quite sure how I ever get by without a flashlight in the shop ! my final recommendation be that if you have a cordless kit from any make , get the matching accessory flashlight ! +817 Flashlight NEG 1 I work as a electrician i buy this flashlite a few week ago it do the job right but its not a solid flashlight every time i open it i have to shake it to get a strong light +375 Flashlight NEG 1 I have purchase maglight for over 30 year , but the 2 I bouhgt here recently be pure garbage . both , within a matter of day , lose the button cover , both swell up with new , expensive battery and would not work . I be qualify to state this because I have a radio Amatuer , EXTRA class , ke5ldo , for many year , and this have never happen before even in the hot sun ! because they be inside a air condition room I would not expect either problem to happen . I save the bulb , end cap , and the hood in case I be ever givien one . I will not be buy they again ! +853 Flashlight POS 5 do you want to have a good compact flashlight ? hate those lead base flashlight and like the incandescent bulb light ? I know I do - that blueish light be not a good to my eye and this rugge little flashlight do the trick with typical mag toughness . also the little carry case be a nice thing to have . +327 Flashlight POS 5 great product , have be use mag lite for year and finally wear out my AAA light . but happy to pay the price to have more year of good service . +535 Flashlight POS 5 anyone who live as far out in the rural countryside as I do get accustom to power interruption , whether they be due to down power line from ice storm , someone hit a key telephone pole and knock out a transformer , or be the result of one of the occassional electrical storm we have during the warmer month of the year . in any and all of these circumstance I can always depend on my collection of mag-light to see I through the darkness of the house in order to light my well-used candle and oil lamp until the power be finally restore . I also have one in each of my two truck , and when I recently narrowly miss hit a startled deer late at night and go off the road into a muddy field , the trusty mag light be invaluable in help I find a winching point to pull myself out of the muddy gully . so , whether it be a venture down into the blacken hole my basement become late at night , or find my way to the bathroom in the middle of the night , I can always depend on my mag light to candle-power my way wherever I be go . I have four or five of the middle-sized one like the one display here , but actually also have three or four of the largest one as well . I love mine , and although I seem to misplace at least one or two a year , I always have a ample supply of both mag-light and replacement battery because I find they be absolutely essential out here in the wood . get one today . +603 Flashlight POS 4 I have own one of these light for year . the original light bulb last at least five year but replacement -lrb- genuine brand -rrb- only last a few month . ... otherwise a great product - would be five star if the bulb last longer . +988 Flashlight POS 5 Got this at Wally World for a little more than Amazon -lrb- last minute buy -rrb- for a camping trip . boy be I glad I buy this ! half we group be separate from we during the trip to the camp site and it be late . luckily I be the only person in we party that have any light for the first night and I use this to collect wood for a fire and get a fire go . ton of use for two battery and extremely bright and powerful for it be size . +287 Flashlight POS 5 we have use these Dewalt 12 volt flashlight for many year now , what I love be they be so handy , easy to use . you can recharge the battery and the battery can be use with other tool . they be very durable , drop they many time . I 'll stress the 12 volt , it be sufficient and be lightweight , go to a 18 volt and it get kinda cumbersome to lug around . +649 Flashlight POS 5 okay , the `` battery '' be cheeper but there be that $ 8 shipping you need to consider . Amazon have the free shipping option . oh yeah , great battery . Super great flaslight system ! +599 Flashlight POS 5 this maglite flashlight be amazing ! it only take 2 c battery , and its bright beam reach as far into the darkness as I can see . it have a adjustable beam focus , but it be not the kind that you turn on by twist the end ; it have a on\/off button-type switch . the bulb be the incandescent kind , not a blue-looking led -lrb- the lead maglite consume less power and be great for search for thing on the ground in the dark , but this kind seem to project its beam farther , so it be good for use on the campground or the shooting range , and in miss person search -rrb- . it be not terribly heavy for a metal flashlight , but yet it be extremely sturdy . I would recommend for anyone that want a full-sized flashlight , buy this one . but remember that it be just that : a full-sized flashlight . if you want a compact one that you can carry in you pocket , you will want a smaller one , such as the 2 aa model , but remember that the smaller one be generally not as powerful . as long as it be a MAGLITE , you will not be disappoint . +265 Flashlight POS 5 you could use this thing as a baseball bat and it would still shine bright and strong everytime . hand down the best flashlite , period . +252 Flashlight POS 5 I receive what I want for Christmas , the 6-d cell maglite in Black , along with a terrelux 140 luman bulb . the two be a win combination . you will not lose this flashlight . it will not break . it do shine 3 football field away . you will be view with authority while wield it . I keep it under the bed so that when the power go out or there be a bump in the night , I know where to find it . it be a club and a light , exactly what you need when you hear noise in the night . love it ! every man should want one . it weigh well over 5 lb and it 'll pack a punch if necessary . two hand be require for a good swing . it be about the weight of a professional baseball bat with battery install . +570 Flashlight POS 5 we sail from Charleston South Carolina to Whangarei , New Zealand last year with 2 of these onboard . in the middle of the night , when something go `` bang '' this be what I grab for when head up on deck . the underwater flashlight , led , and waterproof unit be great for they specific task , but when you do not know what you be go to be get into , this be the one that I want with I ! +139 Flashlight POS 5 very convenient for my maglight , well worth the money , easy to use on any pants , hold my flashlight solid as a rock , worth the investment +554 Flashlight POS 5 the first one I have be black , just like Model-T . be dark and inside my dark overalls pocket , I forget about it until it fall . it fall couple more time since . it be still work . it be a good size to go inside the tool box permanently . the size be also small enough to go inside where only you hand can reach . sometimes in my line of work in seismic oil exploration I need to do come cabling , the Mini help to get the connection right . buy a few more mag light since the first one , see as it be tough and rain proof . but when I travel it be the Mini that come along instead of the Mag Solitaire because the aa size battery be the most universally available battery you can find in most country . Torch -lrb- flashlight to you guy in US -rrb- be like penknife , tend to need it in a emergency . so one live with the Leatherman , one in the car glove box , the old one still in the tool box . yeah , I have hold the torch in my lip too in the past but now recommend a headband by Nite Ize to turn it into a headlamp . another item worth consider if you go hike a lot be the Nite Ize `` pock-its '' . this be a holster for Mini Mag Light and Leatherman , spare battery . +395 Flashlight POS 5 if you only have one hand-held flashlight , this be the one you want ! the lead mini-maglite will light up my entire back yard . plus , if you turn it on and off quickly , if go to half power to save battery life . if you turn it on\/off a second time it flash , like a emergency beacon , then on\/off a third time and it flash SOS . unbelievable ! I love mine ! +695 Flashlight NEG 1 I have 4 of they . they constantly have problem . bulb be easily shatter . the proprietary bulb be expensive . the rubber protector fall of of one . if a battery leak you can just trow the flashlight away , the inside be so tight the battery get stick forever . they guarantee be basically useless as they 'll blame the battery manufacturer . the aluminum machining make get the bottom on and off difficult , easily cross thread . my one star review be because they do not deserve they reputation . it be a good flashlight but they have not do anything for year to improve all the problem . do not expect they to last longer than other quality flashlight . +580 Flashlight POS 5 you can buy flashlite with 18 volt bulb all day long in the area I live in , but not the replacement bulb . I guess they want to sell another complete flashlite . these bulb arrive in there blister pack , well packed , no damage . and they work perfectly . thanks Amazon . +301 Flashlight NEG 1 overall it be a nice light . it be bright . it be durable . I have own a couple and they never break on I . but it be absolutely inexcusable that there be not a way to lock it on and off . I have never carry one that do not end up get accidentally turn on while in the factory provide sheath . simply put , it be not there when I need it and a simple little button would have fix it and make it perfect . +474 Flashlight POS 5 this thing be something else . I read other review and frankly I don ` t know what some 3 starer be talk about . this light be BRIGHT . I mean it ` s rediculuosly bright . I could care less about these so call LED light . this be the cadillac of flashlight . you would have to be a moron to want anything else for a light . this thing be so strong you could use it as a hammer if you want to . it ` s waterproof rubber seal work great . I woulkdn ` t trade this for a led light if you pay I . besides , you can order a lead set-up for these light if led be what you want . why not get the BEST , get a maglight ! I highly recommend this company . thanks for a great light . +21 Flashlight POS 5 I need a small flashlight for a trip to Australia -- something that would easily fit in the one piece of luggage I be allow -lrb- in this case , a backpack -rrb- . the Mini mag Lite be perfect . it be very small -lrb- about six inch long and maybe about as thick as a cigar -rrb- but have some weight to it . it be not flimsy at all , and I be not worry about it last through the trip . the flashlight come with battery -lrb- very nice . -rrb- and a extra bulb in the little screw-on cap on the end -lrb- also , very nice . -rrb- the bright beam can be adjust , and although it do not focus to a very exact point , it focus well enough for my purpose . the candle option be clever as well . all in all , a very worthwhile purchase , and recommend . +602 Flashlight POS 5 I get the lead version of this mag-lite recently . I be very satisfied . it be deliver two day ahead of schedule , and the flashlight be awesome , durable , and bright . what more do you want ? my dad be always get these cheap flashlight ... he be go to be jealous when he see this . it be very nice , bright , and it make that satisfy `` click '' when you turn it on . +563 Flashlight POS 4 I like this light but it have one major flaw with the large opening : -lrb- I buy this for light painting photography this dose not do its job for light painting photography because its full beam have this weird jelly fish look where as I need a clear full strong beam of light : \/ but for see in the dark or anything else I be sure its amazing . just do not get this for light painting -lrb- maybe pay a extra 10 $ for a better one -rrb- . +729 Flashlight NEG 1 I can not believe that maglite be still consider quality light these day . sure , they be pretty good 10 year or so ago . but what be change ? the Mini Maglites I have own have always have the same problem - bulb which go pop and fail if the light experience any kind of shock - or sometimes for no reason at all . and that dim , yellow , uneven excuse for a beam of light . it would be nice if mag produce a light which you could actually \* rely \* on to work when you need it , rather than this outdated rubbish . I have since find far more reliable , brighter , and generally better light from other maker such as Streamlight . there be lot of light out there which be mile ahead of Maglites in every category . +258 Flashlight NEG 2 these be decent light for navigate the wood in the dark , but if you do ... get two of they . they like to cut out often , require a sharp rap to get work again ... then they work just fine for a bit ... and repeat the entire scenario all over again . it be as though the contact be inferior and unable to provide a constant load to the led bulb . why do they send more of those stupid nylon sheath ? I have to have at least twenty of they now over the year , and have yet to actually find any use for any of they . on a positive note , they be plenty bright , and the battery last quite a while , if they would just always work as they should , they would be great ... but they just plain do not ... not at all dependable . +172 Flashlight POS 4 I have own a mini mag flashlight for over 5 year and have be very pleased with the durability and reliability of the product . so , when look for a flashlight to include in we disaster kit , I naturally look to mag . this model provide the right balance between size , weight , and power requirement . I do not need a light as powerful as the 3-d or 4-d model , and want a light that would stow compactly . so far , this flashlight have meet all of my expectation ! +503 Flashlight POS 5 as always with maglite , I be please with this flashlight . it be cheaper on Amazon than in local store , and come quickly . +516 Flashlight NEG 2 this light that I get be not as near as brite as the one sell at Sears yet it have the same number ??? +758 Flashlight NEU 3 Works as advertise , the only downside be that I hate to let my kid use it as the cost of the battery make for a very expensive flashlight . +574 Flashlight NEU 3 worked right out of package . but I do not find the light as bright as I expect . will work in small dark room . not bright enough for outdoors . +230 Flashlight POS 4 yes , there be a spare lamp in the tail cap . actually , one have to remove -lrb- gently -rrb- the battery spring then turn the cap down and let the spare lamp fall into you palm or on something soft . +913 Flashlight POS 5 I love this light . it be bright and the charge last a long time . this be the best price I find for this light . I would suggest this light to anyone that be look for a high quality light . this light do not cost much more than the stinger light , but it be more stream line and easier to use , plus the light come with a hanger\/charger , which make the light very easy to charge and to store . +843 Flashlight POS 5 this be a Christmas gift for a 3-year-old that want a flashlight like Daddy 's ! he love it and the case be a nice touch . +519 Flashlight POS 4 this nice item be a must for you mag . plus , it double for a key chain holder if you rock those mountain climber rope clippy thing for you key , like million of people and I do . get one . what be five buck ? nothing . the damn Sunday paper cost more nowadays . +13 Flashlight POS 5 maybe you be a cop or security guard , maybe you be a guy who live in a place where you can not carry a firearm , maybe you be just someone look to fill the ` use of force ' void that exist between shooting someone the bird and shoot they between the eye . any way you look at it , let not beat around the bush here ... anyone buying this light be do so for one reason only , the ` light ' aspect be totally secondary to that one reason . it be a club that double as a flashlight . so , how do we judge it on the objective criterion ? as a whuppin ' stick , it definitely work - so well that some ` kinder , gentler ' Police Departments do not even allow it anymore . Kind of a bummer that they discontinue the thinner 6c ; bar find one second hand and pay a real scalper price for it , the 5d\/6d be the pretty much the only ` in production ' option in the mag line for a `` big defensive flashlight '' but that be ok . unless you have very small hand , the 6d be perfectly controllable . it be big . really , really big . the light itself be about 19.5 '' long - a foot and a half - in total . when weight down with cel , it be heavy , too . you will want to tread lightly with this , as it definitely would generate enough striking force to fracture a skull , break bone . be damn sure you be legally justified to use it , if you ever do use it . you can hurt someone with it . it be do cut a pretty intimidating profile . walk around with one , it be almost as if you be carry a bat . in some situation , this be ok . in other situation , where draw attention to yourself be not the desire outcome , you would definitely want to leave this one home -lrb- in this regard , probably worth note that give its weight , this be essentially a two handed club . I be a large guy who have decent enough work strength - swing a six d-cel flashlight with one hand be pretty slow go . slow enough that you might risk you adversary grab on to it -rrb- as far as brightness , it be bright by ` bright enough ' standard . not bright enough to impress flashlight geek who obsess over marginally relevant technical detail on internet forum , plenty bright for average Joe to use for real world stuff . unless something have change , these be still ship with incandescent bulb , which be not anywhere near as bright as a good led -lrb- for example , the Maglite 3d lead torch be significantly brighter -rrb- ... of course , let we not forget the reason we buy this in the first place . the ` flashlight ' part be a secondary consideration , or , a primary consideration inasmuch as it allow we to carry it around in place where the same thing absent the flashlight function would be consider a unlawful bludgeon or club . if you want to juice the light aspect up to balls-out bright , terralux make a upgrade that turn the thing into a portable sun ... it be pricey - three time the cost of the light itself - but it do add a monumental upgrade in brightness -lrb- 700 lumen -rrb- , which can be quite practical . if you shine that into someone face , they be either turn away , or , if they be really determine to keep advance , they 'll be do so blinded and\/or with they eye close , at which point we option the ` club ' functionality . I do not throw around the five star rating too often , but this be a five star piece . right now , as of October 2010 , with Amazon free shipping on purchase over 25 , you can get one ship to you door for right at 25 buck . be this worth 25 buck ? hell yeah . +750 Flashlight POS 5 come on !!! many people have say that this brand be just ot heavy , and that you should not by it because other brand be lighter . well , unless ur a cop , these light be great ! Perfect for camping and blackout , especailly the mini maglite . I would recommend the 3 cell , its not to heavy , unlike the 4 , 5 and even 6 cell one . also , remember to register yours at Maglite.com +319 Flashlight POS 5 I have several of these Mini MagLites . they be solid , well-made , great little flashlight , with extra feature : beam focus -lrb- just twist the head -rrb- , spare bulb holder -lrb- inside the rear cap -rrb- , and a candle mode -lrb- take the head off and it become a base for the barrel -rrb- . I have only have one fail , and that be my fault -lrb- I do not check the battery in one that be keep in a drawer and a expire battery leak -rrb- . why do I own several of these ? well , you have get to have one in each color , right ? seriously ... I keep one in the center console of my car . it be great for old eye look at a map or direction at night , when the dome light just be not quite enough . it be also a help for a quick look under the hood , in the trunk , or under the seat . of course , I keep a regular Mag-Lite in the trunk , too . I keep one in my office desk in case of a power outage , or when the time light go off in the evening , or for digging around in the computer or copier . I keep one by my home computer for those time when you have to go poke around inside . I keep one in the headboard of my bed , again in case of a power outage . I learn my lesson in the 1994 Northridge earthquake ; it be still dark and the power be out , and various and sundry thing have fall on the floor -- it be no fun walk around in the dark with bare foot when there be lot of stuff scatter about . there be a couple of other -lrb- kitchen and garage -rrb- , just to have around . just remember to check the battery every few month , and when the bulb burn out and you use the spare in the rear cap , replace it before you forget -lrb- mag instrument lm2a001 replacement lamp for AA Mini MagLite , 2-pack +88 Flashlight NEG 1 I have 2 of they product . both fail miserably . never get a whole lot of use out the minus because the bulb life and battery life be just terrible . I recently try to upgrade it with a lead kit . forget it . the internal plastic part just fall apart in my hand . I have buy one of they c cell light about 10 year ago . it make it through one set of battery . when I try to replace the battery , the tail end would not come off . it have somehow become weld to the body of the flashlight . I think the part corrode together and get stick . try a vice , channel lock pliers , you name it . anything that would impart enough force to get it unglued would have damage the body . go in the trash . +950 Flashlight NEG 1 when it be first introduce the maglight be top of the line . now the maglight be year behind current lead flashlight technology . the light be well make , but the adjustable beam be very poor in quality . look for a flashlight with a textured reflector or a lead for a much better beam . Princeton tec and streamlight make much better function light for the money . +236 Flashlight NEU 3 this be the original workhorse flashlight that have be loop to my waistbelt since 1986 . it be slim , bright , and spot-focus accurately . the issue I have with this product be : a -rrb- bulb have a short average 2-3 month life span , b -rrb- the bulb 's metal tail contact require slight spreading prior to insert into the main body for flicker-free operation , and c -rrb- o-ring require frequent silicone spray for smooth one hand on\/off operation of the head . +902 Flashlight POS 5 typical MAGLITE quality . I buy this flashlight for use in work with we fire Dept. . EMS system . it be small enough to fit into the holster with the scissors and knife emt 's carry with they . good for nighttime work and for check the pupil of a patient . it be amazing how much light this emit at night . I plan on use this light for many year to come . just can not go wrong with maglite . +919 Flashlight NEG 2 to start with , this little flashlight be a first generation fashlight , whereas the modern lithium-powered `` tactical light '' be of third generation . therefore , it be clear that this light can not match those modern super-bright flashlight in performance . by today ' standard , the Mini Maglite be a adequate general-purpose flashlight . it be comfortably small , although if it be a bit fatter , it would fit better to a hand . the body of the flashlight be of high-impact aluminium , make the Mini-Mag a very sturdy little light , tough enough to be use as a impact weapon . you need two hand to operate Mini Maglight . as there be no light switch , you activate the light by rotate the head of the light , until the light activate . this can be very ankward , depend on the situation on which you need the light . the light be actually quite dim , by modern standard . again , it depend on the situation if the Mini-Mag be bright enough , but as a rule of thumb , the more powerful the light be , the better . after all , there be very little need for dull knife , or dim flashlight . also , the light pattern of Mini-Mag be not even , but the light beam have dark ring or spot , make it harder to see clearly the `` target '' on some occasion . if you need a small general-purpose flashlight to keep in the glove compartment of you car , for example , Mini Maglite be a reasonable choice . it be a affordable light , and the battery be much cheaper than those use in modern high-powered flashlight . but if you need the flashlight for more serious use , it be better to look for a third generation flashlight . +58 Flashlight NEU 3 recently buy this flashlight to keep in the car . the light weight , small size , and inexpensive battery be all a plus . the light output be better than most incandescent flashlight include the original minus mag but not as bright as physically bigger 3w luxeon lead light . light output be very white with a nice slight focus ability . the add feature of remove the lenscap for a nice bright area light be definately useful in dry weather . overall this be a perfect light to keep in the glovebox that be inexpensive and well build . +748 Flashlight POS 5 maglite have be and no doubt always will be the best flashlight ever make ! +341 Flashlight POS 5 purchase two battery stick at substantial savings over retail . both flashlight have see little use in past 5 month . one be bedside and other be in my truck . both be still on initial charge I give they and be hold up well . no problem . +440 Flashlight POS 4 it take a while to find but worth the wait and will buy again for my next maglite +683 Flashlight POS 5 if you frequently use a flashlight for work or at home , and want something with maximum brightness and minimal hassle , this one 's for you . just make sure to get extra bulb ! the flashlight will survive repeat drop , but the bulb will not , and they be hard to come by in regular retail store . so , order they before you need they . +12 Flashlight NEG 2 I rate this item a two , because when I receive the ITEM IT NEVER TURN ON . since it be not work I decide to RETURN the item and get my money back . the RETURN WAS not a problem at all I get refund on the total amount I pay . +980 Flashlight POS 5 hey , for all you people read this out there ! if you look for a Mini Flashlight , then there be no better product then this ! I give this product 5 star because of it be quality , size , durability , and it be Lightweight ! it be great for light up those dark spot where you cant see . also a great present for kid ! +732 Flashlight POS 5 excellent price on a excellent flashlight , very bright and reliable . I use this light for a security assignment at a camping resort , so when I need light , I need extra bright light and it have to be reliable . I would recommend this maglight to anyone ... ... excellent product . +864 Flashlight POS 5 I have several of these Mini MagLites . they be solid , well-made , great little flashlight , with extra feature : beam focus -lrb- just twist the head -rrb- , spare bulb holder -lrb- inside the rear cap -rrb- , and a candle mode -lrb- take the head off and it become a base for the barrel -rrb- .

Heavy , but durable . I do not need to change the 2 aa battery over 7.5 month . the light also come with a extra lightbulb build into the flashlight in the case that the lightbulb burn out . the holster be unnecessary , in my opinion . +873 Flashlight POS 5 hay yo what can we say bout it ? I will not mind drive over U ' r flashy lite just do not want to drive a truck over mine ok !! I do get the 6 d cell one so I can put the spinner handle on it and look k@@l . actually U have the light on my black rifle and that make a great front handle for the front end of the stock . still work on the front of mine so that be where you do dit da da . the 6 cell one be a wee bit heavy still I do like it that way . I get it to add the led light to it and boy be it the only way to fly so super man up up and away it be the brightest thing with out wheel . plus shiny black I should have call it a cadillac . dray +769 Flashlight POS 5 for Makita owner , I can confirm that this bulb do work in the Makita 18V flashlight , and it seem just as bright as the original Makita bulb . +498 Flashlight POS 5 this flashlight be extremely durable and very bright . you can adjust the beam to a pen type beam or a broad beam . it be small enough to carry in you pocket and use aa battery . I would recommend this flashlight to anyone . +453 Flashlight POS 4 this little light be bright but right in the center seem to be a dark area ? it lose a star for the dark center , you would think the center would be the brightest but it be not . +768 Flashlight POS 5 the best 2 c-cell flashlight I have own . fit in the glovebox easily so you kid and wife will not `` borrow '' it . +938 Flashlight POS 5 I really like this little mag-lite . it be a perfect size to keep in my pocket , or in my glove box and be plenty bright for my need . you just can not beat the quality of mag-lite ! +753 Flashlight POS 5 this mini mag be really very good , though its a bit overprice at amazon.com I realize it after purchase . future buyer check walmart\/target for a lower price . +310 Flashlight POS 5 I purchase this flashlight because the regular flashlight I be use to walk the dog at night keep eat battery and be not bright enough . this flashlight do not go through battery as quick as my old one and be much brighter . I have only change battery once , and I think that be only because I use cheap battery . the only thing I wish I have for it that I do not be a wrist strap . I have drop it in the yard a couple of time . I may get the wrist strap next . I would recommend this light to any one that need a small flashlight . +508 Flashlight NEG 1 I expect more from this light have purchase many of Streamlight 's excellent product . the so-called beam be ringy and irregular and the bulb dont last very long . too many other modern light available that be a quarter of the size and weight that easily out perform the mag Instument line . +323 Flashlight POS 5 it be a Maglite , and it live up to the reputation of its american brand . it be solidly build and work well . this thing will probably last a lifetime . scroll through the color option because you may be able to find the same flashlight for nearly half the price in a different color . I purchase it with the `` MAGLITE AM2A016 Mini AA Flashlight Accessory Pack '' so that I could attach the red filter and use it for stargaze . +29 Flashlight POS 5 I have have my mag 2 d-cell flashlight for over 10 year now , and it still work flawlessly . while other flashlight have rot , rust , or just plain break , my mag still shine . it be literally the last flashlight you 'll need to buy . the fact that you can adjust the beam from a broad floodlight to a focused spotlight be nice , though I have find that mine do not focus into a small , even circle as well as I would like . +992 Flashlight POS 5 the ultimate flashlight . this be my 2nd as the first be destroy when the battery corrode . focus down to a pinpoint or widen out for larger area and extremely bright . can be use as a club to ward off attack dog or anyone bent on cause you harm . +73 Flashlight POS 5 I would not have any other flashlight , there be no comparison to mag light in my opinion . its tough , its capable of be a lantern as well as adjust the beam . only other flashlight I use be a heavy duty dewalt that stand and have a adjustable head . +720 Flashlight POS 5 I have have mine for year and it have never let I down . it do not use up battery as fast as other flashlight too . it have a very solid body , so it double as a defensive weapon . I have one in my car and one at home . I also have 2 4d cell lead maglite for time when I need to walk around the neighborhood . +217 Flashlight POS 5 I be a bit hesitant in purchase a Mini Maglite lead flashlight because of the problem with the first version such as mediocre battery life similar to incandescent Maglites and sudden cutoff of light when the battery be low . as I be look around my local retailer one day i notice some lead minus Maglites with new packaging that be different from the other on the shelf , so I do some research online and it be due to a newer revision of the LED Maglite . the review from user online on the newer version seem positive so I decide to purchase the new version -lrb- sp2201hj -rrb- to try out . well I be fairly satisfy with the second revision because it address most of the problem with the first revision . most noticeably : - the old Luxeon lead emitter have be replace with the newer , more efficient rebel lead from Lumileds , so they produce a bit more light and less heat . - the lead driver now have 4 mode of operation : 100 % power , 25 % power , Blink , and s.o.s mode ; the first two mode allow the user to control the light output and battery life , while other two mode allow for emergency signaling . - the new driver also do not cut off the light completely when the battery be low , it dim the light output to warn of low battery -lrb- major problem in the first version when you be in dark -rrb- . however , there be still some thing that can be improve such as with the reflector , it be not that great and seem to restrict some the light output from the new led -lrb- some of the light go behind the reflector unfortunately -rrb- . the inclusion of the lanyard hole in the tail cap in the incandescent version be a feature that be still miss in the led version . overall this version be excellent for general use , it work great as a flashlight for use around the home or on the go -lrb- it be pretty lightweight and compact -rrb- and the candle mode produce enough light to see around the entire room in a blackout . it be not the brightest flashlight out there obviously , but the flashlight maintain a good balance of light output and battery life -lrb- depend on the select mode -rrb- . the flashlight be well-built like the older maglite as expect and be reasonably price at about $ 20 and amazingly it be still be make in the USA unlike virtually all other product on the market . +263 Flashlight NEG 1 I must have have just plain bad luck on the two flashlight I order . the other customer review be very good . on one flashlight I be able to insert the battery and screw on the tailend , but I notice there be no spare light bulb as be promise . the other flashlight I can not screw the tail part on despite all my effort . I will have someone stronger than I try it , but this should not be necessary . +598 Flashlight POS 5 these clip be great . make out of a very durable plastic , they be very easy to install . I mount these in both my truck and now have very easy access to the maglight and now free up room in my glove box . +324 Flashlight POS 5 this be a bright light at a great price very happy over all good buy !! +131 Flashlight POS 5 I be a solider and a correctional officer , I have be use maglite for year , and have put they through several of the worst kind of hell . to date after 4 year of \* hard \* use , abuse , and maltreatment , I have only manage to kill 2 of the big 4d maglite , and even then , the light be mechanically sound , but the damned battery end up leak from get knock around too much , and fusing into the case . any way . it take I three year of solid use , in rain , snow , mud , etc , to kill my last minus mag . when I finally get around to replace it , I be slightly off-put . if you have not purchase a minus in a while , you 'll start to wonder why it seem to randomly flicker and strobe . at first , because of how I be handle it , I think maglite be not up to they usual standard , and make a flashlight that I could kill in under a week . it turn out that I be wrong . __________________________ by rotate the head , and turn it on , you activate the bright mode . do it twice , you activate the dim , 3 time , and you activate the strobe . this can be kind of a pain in the ass when you be use it and it trigger unintentionally , however , this flashlight be otherwise up to maglite 's usual superb standard . battery in my experience will last several month with infrequent use . several week with routine\/heavy\/duty use . size and durability make this a worthwhile compliance tool in a pinch . __________________________ if you have never use maglite lead 's or lead upgrade , I suggest it . the LED 's be even build maglite tough , I say this a after have the lead fall out of the assembly of the d-cell bulb one day -lrb- the actual diode separate from the body of the bulb , and fall out , my inmate be amuse . -rrb- . I be able to reinsert , and fix it with superglue . worked fine for about a year after that until I finally manage to kill the poor thing for good . there be cheaper light , there be tougher light , there be brighter light , there be longer lasting light , but you be not go to find a compact light that be brighter , tougher , longer lasting , or better make at this price point . you 'll have a light source for year , and a handy roller for paracord once you kill it . +540 Flashlight POS 4 I have to wait a while , but I receive the merchandise in good condition and it work as expect . my light now work +0 Flashlight POS 5 we have two of these flashlight , and keep one in each car . the size fit comfortably in the hand plus it be a little shorter than the 2 d cell maglite . the weight be also a very nice feature , in that it you could hold it in one position much longer than you could a flashlight that might be just a few ounce more in weight -lrb- say a 2 or 3 d cell maglite -rrb- . the beam of light it produce be very good for a 2 c cell battery power flashlight . in fact the beam of light that it put out be not that far from the 2 d cell maglite , and with the led upgrade there should not be any difference between it and a 2 d lead maglite . but I be just guess here since they would both 3 watt lead flashlight . anyway it really be a great flashlight and believe that they 'll out last I ; -rrb- +692 Flashlight NEU 3 warning : the review for this item be mixed between a few different item . some be lead bulb , some be krypton bulb . Below be my comparison of the two , and some other option available , but look carefully . Amazon , shame on you for mix two very different product on the same page , you be set yourself up for some unhappy customer . original review ... when I think it be the krypton bulb version ... . for a while , I have a few of these wonderful little light . in the day -lrb- the 90 's that be -rrb- they be ok for the size . sadly today they be vastly outclass by about anything with a decent led light in it . the 2xaa and 3xaa minus lead Maglites be my favorite flashlight , stylish , bright enough for general use , battery life be great , especially when you compare it to these older unit with the regular old krypton bulb in they , the LED one be worth the extra $ 10 . for $ 25 you can do better too . search out Nebo Redline and for $ 25 you can get 2x-3x the power in a similar pocket-able size , minus the belt holster . lead light be everywhere now , and sadly even the lead mini-maglite be a little behind the time . fwiw , the head and body of these be not the same as the lead version light , even the tail cap be different I think , so you can not use you old mini-maglite for part , but if you have a old one and want to perk it up , look up the Teralux lead conversion bulb , you 'll get about the same light from it as the Maglite version , but for the cost of the upgrade . +942 Flashlight POS 5 as I expect from Maglite , this be a tough and reliable flashlight . nothing much else to add , it be the only brand of flashlight I buy . +412 Flashlight POS 5 THIS be one of the best flashlight I have ever own , and I be very satisfied with the price of THIS PRODUCT and with the free SHIPPING you cant go WRONG when you buy this product I highly recommend this flashlight for anyone +315 Flashlight POS 4 use inside a jeep tj to hold maglight . Works as advertise , have hold up well . have to fill in review with more word +360 Flashlight POS 4 Dear Sirs & Madams : Re : 4d-cell mag hvy-duty flashlight this be perhaps the best of all `` torch '' available , and at a bloody-good price ... I be certain that not only the Yanks use these lite , but Scotland Yard and other must also as well . not only do this top-drawer product provide the light sufficent for any night need and\/or exposure of deed , but by its own heft , it be also quite a good headknoker -lrb- without damage ... to the lite -rrb- should one require such in a pinch . this product 's pro be also a part of its con : it be bright-white light , it be well construct , and it be durable . it be also large and heavy . at the same time this product do not put in harm 's - way : a officer , a citizen , or a suspect . I would not want to be without my ole mag-torch if it will turn the trick , rather than fire-power : indeed you can jolly well take this conviction to the bank ... indeed ! +146 Flashlight POS 5 the sp2201h be a lead upgrade of the former incandeecent Mini Maglite . the lead beam be very bright and adjustable by turn the head . +624 Flashlight POS 5 DeWalt be know for great power tool , and this flashlight be no exception . it be power by the same 12-volt rechargeable battery pack that power other tool in the 12-volt cordless series . the light be extremely bright , and it swivel from straight to angled position . because it be pretty heavy with the battery pack , it sit solidly in position if you set it down . it be not economical to buy just the light if you do not have , or be not plan to buy , other DeWalt 12-volt cordless item , because the battery pack and charger be pricey when buy by themselves . but most of the tool in the series come with a extra battery pack and a charger . +273 Flashlight POS 5 maglite s6d016 heavy-duty 6-d cell flashlight , black it have never fail . the focus and brightness be fantastic . it be a little long and heavy , but if you want a potential personal defense tool , it can certainly fill a niche . because it be so long and heavy , it have a lot of momentum and for a un-trained person , it could possibly be take away by a attacker . if you be a pet lover and walk you dog where there be either human de-sensitized coyote or feral dog pack , the impact can be lethal and the brightness enough to blind temporarily for a fast getaway . although I be a 20 + yr armed\/unarmed instructor and be also train in the use of baton , I feel quite comfortable with it although it be slower to maneuver than a straight wood baton . besides be a long-lasting and reliable source of focusable light , it be not consider a weapon . when visit NYC year ago , it be always in my daypack . I have hear rumor that the construction be not as good now and I will definitely review the new one when I get it . +596 Flashlight NEG 2 I have a 3-d cell and a 2-aa lead maglight as well as a 2-aa regular maglight . my complaint with the 2-aa maglight , whether lead or regular bulb be that they do not hold they charge . I have keep both 2-aa maglight in my car , and barely use it , yet the battery get drain . the 2-aa maglight be not good with battery life when you have it store for several month . I have also store my 2-aa non lead flashlight in my house , and same problem , the battery get drain and I barely use the darn thing . but I guess that be why the maglight be so much cheaper than say streamlight or the other high end flashlight . the 3-d cell lead maglight however be great , battery life hold when store in the house for month , and when use it it do not die on you and keep its brightness . +505 Flashlight POS 5 I remember I find my first maglight ; I be drive down a highway behind a tractor trailer , the driver run over something so I break & pull over . it be a maglight , I bring it home change the bulb & it work perfectly ! have to replace the lense from it be encounter with the Mack truck but since that day it have be my favorite flashlight . a year later someone steal it out of my car , so after you purchase this wonderful flashlight keep it safe ! you need to own this ! +71 Flashlight POS 5 the contact be tight and I can see how the bracket would break over time . . for I however , the flash light be be store in a cupboard and only use in emergency . I have only need to remove the light twice and both time I be careful take it out and back in . I be not sure I would recommend these for everyday use . also , I only use 1 clip per light . it be sturdy enough that you do not need both . for I , they be perfect for my requirement . +805 Flashlight POS 4 all right I be go to cut to the chase . this light be definitely outdated although mag have introduce its excellent Minimag LED . some of the complaint about the reliability of this light be absolutely hilarious . mag flashlight have be the standard light for maintenence , security , law enforcement , and many other type of personnel and have prove to be a very reliable and durable light . its a incandescent light , which can fail if drop just like any other light of its type . p eople who I consider to expert on the topic of flashlight , who even have website dedicate specifically to flashlight review , also consider this to be a very decent entry level light with high reliability . these expert have recognize the Minimag as be a dependable flashlight not know to have any major design flaw that affect reliability . sure there be better flashlight out there , they also cost more money . I consider all the mag flashlight to be good entry level light . you be not get a surefire or streamlight but you will end up with a light that be go to work every time you use it and offer a very long service life . these light have be torture test to grave extreme on public forum pertain to flashlight and they durability will amaze you . where it truly do not compare to the Surefire and Streamlight light be in beam quality . once you have use a surefire or streamlight you might never go back . this little Minimag have a lot go for it though . it be reliable , have fairly good output , and have a decent run time on relatively inexpensive aa battery . other light may be brighter but they be either more expensive initially or more expensive to feed battery wise . I just can not stand back while people be trash probably the most proven flashlight of the 20th century . many police officer , security personnel , and search and rescue operative have use mag flashlight in one form or another for decade in harsh environment . they be not the best flashlight out there for sure , but they certainly be not junk . in conclusion , I think its fair to say that its not the best flashlight in term of technology but its definitely a versatile and durable light that will offer many year of reliable service . Maglite have keep the design simple so that they can offer a very high quality product at a very reasonable price . Quality have nothing to do with feature . what the Minimag lack in feature it make up in quality and reliability . while I have many higher price flashlight that be better in term of brightness and technology , the Minimag have provide I year of service and have be abused heavily . it work as well as the first day i buy it . +857 Flashlight POS 5 candle mode light up a large room . the LED light be incredible . i keep one in my car and one in my house . it be just awesome . buy this flashlight and you will never be sorry . +39 Flashlight POS 5 we son purchase one of these mag light from another company and rave on it .

I have one for home and the other at work in the construction industry . I have drop it and it be be bang around , and still work like a champ . the ability to adjust the light pattern from flood to a beam pattern come in very handy and you will be amaze how far away the beam pattern can light up a area . the hallogen bulb will get warm as they all do , so be careful not to place this on a sofa or cloth product with it still on . it will start the fabric to smoking after some time due to the heat generate from this bulb . this will be the last flashlight you 'll ever have to buy , unless like I , you 'll want two of they . this make a great gift for anyone . +5 Flashlight POS 5 I have several of these Mini MagLites . they be solid , well-made , great little flashlight , with extra feature : beam focus -lrb- just twist the head -rrb- , spare bulb holder -lrb- inside the rear cap -rrb- , and a candle mode -lrb- take the head off and it become a base for the barrel -rrb- . I have only have one fail , and that be my fault -lrb- I do not check the battery in one that be keep in a drawer and a expire battery leak -rrb- . why do I own several of these ? well , you have get to have one in each color , right ? seriously ... I keep one in the center console of my car . it be great for old eye look at a map or direction at night , when the dome light just be not quite enough . it be also a help for a quick look under the hood , in the trunk , or under the seat . of course , I keep a regular Mag-Lite in the trunk , too . I keep one in my office desk in case of a power outage , or when the time light go off in the evening , or for digging around in the computer or copier . I keep one by my home computer for those time when you have to go poke around inside . I keep one in the headboard of my bed , again in case of a power outage . I learn my lesson in the 1994 Northridge earthquake ; it be still dark and the power be out , and various and sundry thing have fall on the floor -- it be no fun walk around in the dark with bare foot when there be lot of stuff scatter about . there be a couple of other -lrb- kitchen and garage -rrb- , just to have around . just remember to check the battery every few month , and when the bulb burn out and you use the spare in the rear cap , replace it before you forget -lrb- mag instrument lm2a001 replacement lamp for AA Mini MagLite , 2-pack +475 Flashlight POS 5 I be a touristic guide in the cloud forest in Costa Rica .

I be a police officer and have work many night . the flaslight have be bang around and drop numerous time . it be send back to maglight once after about 5 year of use for a defective switch . maglight fix it for free . I have to buy a new battery stick twice due to the battery lose its ability to charge . the new stick cost about $ 16 . a full charge usually last I a week of do midnight . now that I work day the charge last for month . the only down side be tha it be large and heavy , but I would not replace it for anything else . if you be look for a extremely bright and durable flashlight , this be it . I just want to add that after about 18 year of use the charger cradle stop work . I send it to Maglight and they fix it for free again . now that be the way to stand behind you product . I see alot of people rave about surefire flashlight and put maglight down . well I have be a police Officer in the Bronx for nearly 20 year now and use the same rechargeable maglight . it have be bang around and look it , but it still work like new . I pay about $ 100 18 year ago and now it sell for $ 85 . let see you $ 200 surefire after 18 year -lrb- I do not think so -rrb- . +128 Flashlight POS 4 I purchase these for a Black & Decker 18 Volt flashlight .

I get these a week or so back , and I be already on bulb number two . and for the price , a little dinky bulb like this really ought to last longer . look like I 'll be shop for a lead flashlight instead of another order of these bulb . which be a shame , because I really like the flashlight itself . . +364 Flashlight NEU 3 mag instrument s6d016 black 6d cell MagLite Flashlight . over the year , I just need and `` HAD to HAVE '' that bigger flashlight ! it be a guy thing . this be the one light that lot of law enforcement carry . it be effective as a flashlight and as a tool if the use of force need to be escalate in subdue a bg -lrb- bad Guy -rrb- - order give with confidence and with commanding voice , physical force include night stick or mag light , side arm , shot gun -rrb- . there be a lot go on within the technology of flashlight recently . LED , Lithium battery , focus bezel , etc. . the mag have fall from grace a bit technologically , but be still a great flashlight for police \/ emt INCLUDING look for and if need be use the light defensively as a weapon on criminal , cockroach \/ terrorist or signalling for a chopper pick up . the mag instrument s6d016 black 6d cell MagLite Flashlight be very durable and they be prove reliable . but even the police and emt and military be switch over to more tecnologically advanced product and technique to go along with the new equipment . . they have to . they life and the life of other depend on the best equipment available . and for a long time that be Mag Light . do not get I wrong . I have depend on mag lite of all size for year . but head to head , thesurefire brand have quickly surpass mag lite in every important aspect of flashlight - usable light power , smaller size and lighter weight .

John Row +539 Flashlight POS 5 I love my maglight flashlight . I buy mine id say about a year or so ago . after a few month of use i lose it and think i have lose it forever . last month i find it . it be in my wood beside my fireplace wedge in between a rock . it be outside for at least 8 month . it be out there for the whole new england winter and to everyone suprise it still turn on . it work like the day i buy it . if that isnt durable i dont know what durable be . as a matter of fact , its outside right now in my garden . I aciidently throw it in there but i really dont care , it can take it . its also nice and bright and have good o ring so water isnt a problem . it also have a -lrb- candle Mode -rrb- where you take the top off and its like a floddlight . it do use up battery faster than some flashlight but its such a nice flashlight i dont care . rechargable would be a good idea . highly recommend +833 Flashlight POS 5 ive have this flashlight for over 3 year and it work great . still the original bulb . and only go through like 4 set of battery . +482 Flashlight POS 5 small , tough , and sturdy . not the first one of these I have purchase and not likely the last . nice and bright . do not forget you can always unscrew the cap and you have get a small torch ! +935 Flashlight POS 5 just get this and I love it . we like how small and bright it be . will get one or two more for the house . +726 Flashlight POS 4 there be better light out there . of course they cost more money .

I pull mine from my totalled car and work without a hitch . if you use a flashlight a lot or hardly ever , this be the one to buy . -lrb- and no I do not work for the company ! -rrb- +214 Flashlight NEU 3 I think Maglite have forget that they be suppose to be all about the reflector 's precise focus ability . maybe they think no one will notice ? I have get four 3-d maglite from about 12 year ago . they be in my car and one 's beside my bed . those bad boy will focus a extremely tight nearly perfectly circular beam that be impressive as well as useful -- especially at moderate to great distance . a month or two ago , I buy a new 3-d maglite . it be sad . Poor focus . at best , it produce a illuminate region that be partly circular and partly elliptical that spread out way too much even at moderate distance . it leave I want , but , I figure I buy it from a mega store where individual unit from a big production run can often have flaw that be pass on to the consumer . the price be low and I be just stash it in the basement for power outage emergency and such so I tolerate its flaw and store it in a accessible location . for many year I have want a 6-d maglite . I order from Amazon . could not wait until it arrive . I dream : power ; Precision ; Prowler 's beware because if you be within a quarter mile , I 'll simply light you up and ID you in a instant even in a storm . so , my shiny new 6-d cell maglite arrive several day ago . dagnabbit ! it be get the same poor focus as the 3-d maglite I recently buy at the megastore . I can only describe the beam just as I mention above . it be not a tight circle . it be somewhat a blend of a sloppy circle and a wayward escape ellipse . I also order 2 maglite magnumstar -lrb- xenon -rrb- bulb for this thing . they come today . -lrb- why they come several day later I do not know because I order the 6-d flashlight and the bulb at the same time . Amazon lose money on free shipping deal when they do not stock these thing at the same location , do not they ? -rrb- anyway , I think the super duper MagnumStar bulb might improve thing . nope . you 'll see my separate review for they . they lack the snub nose ground glass focus lens that they use to have incorporate into the bulb design . now they be just plain glass . so , I guess it be just like all thing : they `` be not '' what they use to be . that be two recent maglite I have purchase with poorly focus beam . I be presume that be just the design average these day . I 'll keep the 2 maglite 's I just buy because I do not want to hassle return they . I guess they be not technically defective . they be just degrade by design . but , I will not buy any more . look like I can get the same beam or maybe much better in a cheaper flashlight from another company . I now find that I severely cherish my four 12 year old 3-d cell maglite . they beam be tight ! I guess I would better get busy stock up on spare part . these old model require a special tool to replace the switch . I think the switch and tool be rare but I think I have see a source for they . in the past , I figure it be cheaper just to replace the flashlight if the switch fail . now I see that be not true becuase I can not buy a new flashlight like those anymore . I need to gear up to maintain these four precious light stick ! +318 Flashlight POS 5 good product , mount easily and keep my maglite secure and ready at all time . +92 Flashlight NEU 3 not much else to say about the Maglite . Great little instrument . do not expect you battery to last very long though . +497 Flashlight POS 4 these be the best ... still breakable with normal wear and tear , but not too expensive to replace . +377 Flashlight POS 5 mag Lite be the industry standard flashlight for a reason - because it be durable and last a lifetime . I own multiple unit of mag Lite device ! +221 Flashlight POS 5 I could not imagine my life without this flashlight -lrb- and a Leatherman -rrb- . when I work as a occasional camera assistant on commercial and film , the maglite be the perfect size for check the gate , cleaning equipment , or even walk around in dark forest look for the lead actress . I will take some paper tape and wrap it around the tail end of the barrel provide a soft grip that my tooth can sink into . all too often I 'll be in a awkward position , reach back with my right hand to the holster , whip out the torch , twist it on , and stick it into my mouth in one smooth motion . each torch come with its own replacement bulb , conveniently `` hide '' in the tail spring . it be so well insulate that drop the maglite onto hard rock while run will not break the spare -lrb- though the current bulb may not fare quite so well -rrb- . there be also professional -lrb- and online do-it-yourself -rrb- conversion to replace the bulb with a gallium-based led bulb , the kind that never burn out , be thrice as bright , and use half the battery power . you can use the standard white color , or red or dark green led for `` night-vision . '' I have not do this yet myself , although there be no fear of make a mistake . I own a silver , blue , red , forest green , and dark blue aa lite , a mini-mag aaa for the house\/car key , and a d-cell large maglite for check around the house , or keep in the car on long trip . you can twist off the head , expose the bulb entirely while it be `` burning . '' this be call candle-mode . by hang the light from the tail loopholder , you can have a omni-directional light that be bright enough to put away equipment under . several of these string about brighten the room even more so . if you be into focus pull , I use this for critical focus , should the need arise . have someone hold the torch in candle-mode by the subject , and you can focus on the filament for a precise setting . these thing be heavy duty and be not make of joke material like plastic and rubber . the mag be the way to go . +337 Flashlight POS 5 this unit be a typical mag instrument ; excellent design , excellent build quality and overall a excellent rechargeable ! +733 Flashlight POS 4 I use this with the electronics system I work on . couple with the starter kit -lrb- mostly the red lens attachment -rrb- it come in highly useful . the multus mode be highly effective and allow the flashlight to be use in multiple different kind of scenario . I do not go much of anywhere without it +33 Flashlight NEG 1 I go through 6 bulb in 4 month !!! the Surefire g2 be my weapon of choice now : d at least 4x brighter and it be smaller . +196 Flashlight NEG 2 wow . never buy another torch again ! portable light , without heat . this thing be _ AMAZING _ . beware , it do eat battery . also , do not look directly into the fire , as it may temporarily blind you ! mag be back with another winner here ! +353 Flashlight NEG 2 it be a maglite , so you know you be get a solidly-constructed flashlight . what I be expect be a maglite that be much brighter and whiter than the traditionally-bulbed one I already own . I be disappoint in this regard : the led be not as bright as I expect , and the beam focus ability be much less than I be use to for a maglite . it be a decent flashlight -- just do not expect it to be that much better than the original one . if you do not own a maglite already , you might want to get the lead version . if you already have one , though , I would not bother replace it with the led . +62 Flashlight POS 4 I be catch by surprise by the illuminating power of this little mag Lite . originally , I think it would only be good in a pinch if the power go out in the house in the middle of the night -lrb- be a California resident , I be all too familiar with blackout -rrb- . however , I discover that the light beam have a significantly longer range than I originally anticipate -- that tiny little bulb put out a unbelievable amount of candle power for its size ! now I know it be good to go both inside and out ! the on-off switch be as easy as a turn of the flashlight 's head . turn it further and you can make the beam as wide or as narrow as you need . or twist the head completely off , and you have get the ` candle ' mode mention in the item description . not only be this good for illuminate a fairly large area , it be also a safer alternative at those candlelight vigil memorial ! unfortunately , I can not personally vouch for the toughness and durability of this product-i handle my minus mag with as much care as possible , and I have yet to drop it on any kind of hard surface . you 'll have to read the testimonial of the other Amazonians regard this nifty little illuminator if you want to know about it be ability to endure the worst a person can dish out ! one drawback : the model I own have a smooth-finish handle , and be not too easy to hold when my hand be sweaty , wet , or -lrb- in case I use it for nighttime emergency auto repair -rrb- oil-soaked . so be sure you get one that have the diamond-knurled grip finish etch on the handle ! ` late ! +723 Flashlight POS 5 I have have this flashlight for literally over 25 year and it be go strong . I get it as a boy scout for campout when I be about 15 . it be not buy on Amazon since they do not exist back then ! it have survive many a camping trip and now that I be a dad myself come in handy around the house . always a great accessory to bring with you to check out those `` bump in the night '' - this bad boy double as a formidable club . I remember check out the different size from 3 to 6 cell and the 4 cell have -lrb- for I -rrb- just the right balance between weight and light output . I like it so much I just order a lead upgrade which be no longer manufacture by mag and cost about the same as a new light since it be in demand . financially not the smartest thing I have do but I want to keep this one go . sentimentality and loyalty to a flashlight ? only to a maglite ! +828 Flashlight POS 4 the Mag Charger , as all maglite , be a american icon -- we all love they and love use mag 's ! although there be many product on the market which be superior -lrb- as with the Harley-Davidson -rrb- I still like my MagLite more than other . I have upgrade this mag charger with the excellent terralux -lrb- of USA -rrb- tle-300mr which be a 600 luman lead upgrade . WOW ! the basic product be still great and have the shape , fit and finish we be all use to -lrb- and be make in USA like TerraLUX -rrb- while the performance be unsurpassed ! way to go . +391 Flashlight POS 4 Mine be order with lead bulb , which extend battery life a lot . that be useful in case there be need to search for someone lose . c-battery do not make it excessively heavy , though so far have not have to carry mine for hour . I get the idea from a magazine article by Massad Ayoob . +393 Flashlight POS 5 a real improvement over the halogen version . it be much , much more powerful , it have a whiter light , longer range . do not expect a `` light saber '' , -lrb- go for the Inova x03 if you need a tactical light -rrb- but it be a powerful flashlight , perfect to have it with you all the time . I carry it together with my Leatherman Super Tool 200 . +640 Flashlight POS 4 there be not much i can say about a maglite that hasnt already be say its solid , durable , with excellent finish -lrb- the silver in my book be worth the lil extra that be my personal -rrb- . I purchase a lead replacement ` bulb ' that alone say I plan to have this for life . +709 Flashlight POS 5 this be a gift for my husband and 3 son . it be a great buy and very durable . +428 Flashlight POS 4 I have a set of these mount bracket bolt to my garage workbench and can always count on find my Maglite flashlight just where I leave it - safe and secure . the plastic seem a bit fragile , but in the two year that I have use they , I have never have a failure . the flashlight securely snap into place and be not in danger of fall out . if I be to do it again , I would buy a set of these in a minute . it function well and do the job for which it be intend . +27 Flashlight POS 4 even though we have to wait a short time due to quantity , the item be ship in a timely manner . +125 Flashlight POS 5 after several flashlight , pelican , everready , etc. because they stop work in a harsh marine environment , this one flashlight have now be constantly work for 5 year . it be extremely bright and durable . because it have a 12 volt rechargeble base you can secure it to a bulkhead and forget about it . it will always be ready when you need it and always in the same location . that be in and of itself be invaluable on a boat where most thing be cram into the same couple drawer . +865 Flashlight POS 5 my old black Mini mag lite finally die , so I be look to replace it . this -lrb- cheapest -rrb- version of the Mini mag be shiney silver , which I be now get use to after have the black one . it come with 2 Dura cell battery , a spare bulb , and a black weave nylon holster . there be a hole drill through the end cap to allow you to put a cord on it and\/or hang it on a nail , I guess . while it do not focus into a perfectly round smooth beam , it be round and smooth enough for general use . you can spread out the beam if desire , or even remove the head and use it as a holder for the `` candle mode '' - just the handle point up with the bare bulb on top - to , say , illuminate you whole tent for a minute . no doubt you can put a $ 15 conversion bulb in this $ 10 flashlight and make it a $ 25 flashlight , but why bother ? the only minor complaint I can find be the holster can not just slip onto you belt - you must thread you belt throught the flat loop . this could be a good thing as well , though . I buy two . +127 Flashlight POS 5 it be exactly what I be expect to arrive . I have slightly modify mine with bright pink tape so the boy at work will refrain from claim it as they own lol . . +633 Flashlight POS 5 two word : bad ass ! this lead mini-mag be the best flashlight I have ever own . it be durable , elegant , powerful , and the led light use less energy than halogen bulb , mean longer battery life . Enough say . stop think about buy this and buy it . you will not be disappoint . additional note : if you live near a Costco you can probably find this bundle with the big LED Mag Light for under $ 30 -lrb- and it come with battery -rrb- . that be where I buy mine about 2 year ago . the larger d cell lead maglight be excellent as well , and it double as a baton for self defense ! +427 Flashlight POS 5 do not let the small size of this flashlight fool you . it be indeed a well make , sturdy instrument capable of provide lumination the same as one twice its size . I live in a studio apartment and due to the come hurricane and have no flashlight look for one to best serve my purpose . I need something to handle all necessary task in case of bad situation as well as be handy day to day . this instrument be compact and with a simple twist of the head can go from a wide flood beam to a bright direct spotlight . and it actually can be reassemble simply to display the same light as a light candle . everything this item say it do it do and all only on 2 aa battery . for I battery life be very good . I can not recommend this flashlight enough . if I be to loose power in my apartment it would provide all the light necessary to move around , do thing and even read . it be that strong . and for walk outside in the dark , change a tire etc. it do the work of a much bigger and bulkier flashlight . great investment at a great price . +788 Flashlight POS 5 keep this light in my purse - come in handy - light be nice and bright ! as usual Amazon come through again . +708 Flashlight POS 5 it be great have a flashlight of this quality and make in the usa that you know will be there and work when you need it . +775 Flashlight POS 5 look for this dewalt flashlight in local home improvement store but only find it in a set with other dewalt product . if you have the charger from other product and only need the flashlight this be a great deal . delivery be fast . no problem . +655 Flashlight POS 5 I have use this flashlight for about one year and it have become alost the only flashlight I use . in Cabinets it illuminate the entire space , no fumble to re-aim or balance or juggle . in crawl space you can set it up and work in a wide area without have to fool with the light , like a portable flood light . this and my led headlight be all I need anymore . great tool , and no worry about have fresh battery ! +559 Flashlight POS 5 nothing new . same as my 12v light that never die . get bang around nicely and work well . focus feature could be nice tho . as say before - love those bare tool deal . +129 Flashlight POS 5 for a reliable flashlite to have around the house or in the car , get a larger c cell maglite . but for other use this one be top . solidly well build , look great , do produce a typical uneven beam -lrb- but that be ok with I -rrb- , small , use aa battery . come with a extra bulb in the base . compare with dollar store junk which will not last , this one be worth the money . it should last many year . +209 Flashlight POS 5 maglite asxd036 Plain Leather Belt Holder for D-Cell Flashlight , Black Works great for this application . strap the flashlight down with a bungee cord so that it do not flop around complete the job . +18 Flashlight POS 4 as a police officer , I can say , that this flashlight come as a integral part of a standard equipment in any police patrol car in Israel , and it stand the hardest task and condition , one of the best choice the department have make , the only flaw be the recharge socket , I wish they will build somthe stronger that would not break all the time . +639 Flashlight NEG 1 these light be old technology , and run inefficientyly . there be light out there 1\/4th the size and throw out 50 time more light . +486 Flashlight NEG 1 I buy 2 of these flashlight , and both stop work within 2 day of purchase . why can not maglite use the rear push switch like so many other ? +774 Flashlight POS 5 very well-built little bracket .

I can get a great beam of light 200 yard when I focus it . the 6 cell be double as strong as the 4 cell in Lumens plus it also last a hour longer . it can also act as a self defense tool , you would not want to get hit with this thing when it be full of Batteries !! what a great price too , you can not beat this deal anywhere ! I buy three !!! +345 Flashlight POS 4 Thought they would scratch the maglite , but it work great . tough little sucker , maglite can be yank and it still stick in the wall . thanks +439 Flashlight POS 5 I have these in all the tool bag . small , light , and throw enough light to see what I be do in a small space . ca not remember the last time I have replace the battery . +16 Flashlight POS 5 I have have a five d-cell maglite since 1986 and it be still work great ; I have only have to replace two lamp within that time . I be a scoutmaster for year and the boy call my flashlight , `` the Sun '' . when they would try to sneak off I could always find they ... the flashlight light up the whole mountain or I could narrow the beam and spot a boy nearly a mile away . I buy this six-celled maglite because I be tire of always have a lone battery with my five-celled light because battery be not package in odd number . that in fact be my recommendation to you to buy a six-cell maglite rather than a five-cell so you do not have a odd battery go to waste . I now have two great flashlight one be under my bed and the other be on my refrigerator where they be always available for emergency and light up the whole dang town if I have too : - -rrb- +917 Flashlight POS 5 why be all these review on this 6 cell mag light mostly for the 2 and 3 cell mag light ? make little to no sense and be unfair to the product be review it be a great product never have have a problem from any of my mag light except 1 where i have some defective battery and the flashlight be replace by the battery company so i have no complaint whatsoever +408 Flashlight POS 5 this be a wonderful bright flashlight that work with the battery we already have for other 18 volt dewalt product . I highly recommend this light . we have a 9 volt flashlight we use for 15 year before the battery finally give out so we replace it with the 18 volt ... more power ... more light ! +75 Flashlight POS 5 this be the best flashlight in the world , period . I purchase one about 15 year ago for about the same price I pay for a second one a month ago , about $ 100 . in the 15 year of use I only have to change bulb once . that be it . however , recently the on-off switch go bust . I have send it for repair . I 'll let people know what be the experience with the repair department . +25 Flashlight POS 5 I have several of these Mini MagLites . they be solid , well-made , great little flashlight , with extra feature : beam focus -lrb- just twist the head -rrb- , spare bulb holder -lrb- inside the rear cap -rrb- , and a candle mode -lrb- take the head off and it become a base for the barrel -rrb- . I have only have one fail , and that be my fault -lrb- I do not check the battery in one that be keep in a drawer and a expire battery leak -rrb- . why do I own several of these ? well , you have get to have one in each color , right ? seriously ... I keep one in the center console of my car . it be great for old eye look at a map or direction at night , when the dome light just be not quite enough . it be also a help for a quick look under the hood , in the trunk , or under the seat . of course , I keep a regular Mag-Lite in the trunk , too . I keep one in my office desk in case of a power outage , or when the time light go off in the evening , or for digging around in the computer or copier . I keep one by my home computer for those time when you have to go poke around inside . I keep one in the headboard of my bed , again in case of a power outage . I learn my lesson in the 1994 Northridge earthquake ; it be still dark and the power be out , and various and sundry thing have fall on the floor -- it be no fun walk around in the dark with bare foot when there be lot of stuff scatter about . there be a couple of other -lrb- kitchen and garage -rrb- , just to have around . just remember to check the battery every few month , and when the bulb burn out and you use the spare in the rear cap , replace it before you forget -lrb- mag instrument lm2a001 replacement lamp for AA Mini MagLite , 2-pack +192 Flashlight POS 5 my husband love this gift . he open it immediately and start charge the battery . +725 Flashlight POS 5 it be just a flashlight , no big deal , but it be PURPLE and it be a maglite . I have four of they in different size , and I have never have one fail . this be not lead so it be not the brightest keychain light out there , but it be probably the most durable and reliable . +969 Flashlight POS 5 buy this for my in-law . I have have the same light for over 15 year . I do go and purchase seperately the led bulb for it though . it do help with the battery consumption . I highly recommend this upgrade . +293 Flashlight POS 5 fit my 2 d cell maglite perfectly . I mount these on the b pillar of my truck with different hardware than what come with the kit . +222 Flashlight POS 5 maglite have be around for a long time now . at first the big powerful flashlight be consider cut edge technology . they high quality focus lens , computer machine aluminum housing with rubber gasket and xenon light bulb be all still the best quality one can buy . however they look a little old fashion next to the super bright , super efficient led flashlight . but the Maglite have two big advantage over ANY other light on the market . for $ 20 instead of $ 120 you have a light that while bigger and heavier be just as bright as any small led light and it will last 25 year -lrb- my last one do -rrb- . plus , if this be for security work or checking on bump in the night , 10 lb of metal 2 1\/2 foot long feel a lot better in you hand than 6 inch of plastic . do not waste you money on the LED bulb . I buy one of the best and most expensive upgrade and really see no difference . if you want a really good flashlight that will last a long time and always work I know of nothing that even come close to the Maglite . one other thing , yes the 6-d battery be MUCH brighter than the 2 or 4 d battery size . other than the money I waste on the LED bulb upgrade this be the best $ 20 I have ever spend . +407 Flashlight POS 5 I purchase this flashlight for my father and it work better than anticipate . the convenience of have a group of tool work around one set of battery be the way to go . I recommend this to anyone that be look to simplify they inventory of tool and work light . +626 Flashlight POS 4 buy this product at Sears . have be use this product for 4 month . primary battery use in the product : Duracell Alkaline -lrb- come with -rrb- Enercell Alkaline Energizer rechargeable ni-mah have use up to 12 battery during my use . experience ... durability : have be drop over 100 time on pavement mostly at 4.5 ft , 9ft on a rare occasion . no sign of wear on the the head , and main body after 4 month . Tailcap have the gray paintjob rub off likely due to my have a metal key ring attach . Lighting : primarily use it on the high power setting . -lrb- 70-80 lumen ? -rrb- leave this flashlight on for three day straight as a temporary bedroom light . set to upsidedown candlemode -lrb- minus the head -rrb- ; hang on a screw on the ciel with a keyre use the Enercell Alkalines the minimaglite run nonstop for less three day set on high . however the minimag be program to dimm when there be insufficient power around the 6 or 8th hour . day 1 first 8 hour have really good lighting day 2 sufficient light not too bright . day 3 insufficient light , last few hour blinking till power be fully drain . other use for this light : High 70-80 luman output in candlemode be very sufficient as a camera flash up to 3ft for flash-uncapable camera . my conclusion ... negative : not good as a tactical fast reponse flashlight for extensive daily usage . not the brightest in the 2aa battery category . no tail clicky switch . do not stay in a constant luman output . can not turn off without the head . positive : decent runtime . what it lack in brightness it be high on versatility with various feature high , low , Strobe , SOS , Candlemode . Aircraft Aluminum body can take a beating just not the paint scheme . heatshield keep the outer body from feel too hot . commonly find in retail store in many part of the world . upgrade-able like the krypton-bulb minimag with various 3rd-party accessory in the market . affordable at the $ 20-25 usd range . come with 2aa duracell , and a nylon beltpouch . +484 Flashlight NEG 2 the quality be great and it be easy to operate . I buy a couple of these as keychain light . however , the light output even with a fresh battery really be not sufficient for my use . +521 Flashlight POS 5 it be the perfect mini light for the glove compartment , it throw a strong narrow light , a moderately strong diffuse light and it even have a candle light function ! it be lind of sturdy , but heavier than you expect ! +686 Flashlight POS 4 the product arrive very quickly and so far be very useful . though the mount be plastic they be very heavy duty . +233 Flashlight POS 4 I have a little problem with Amazon , but it be fix quick and I receive the correct product . the flash light be perfect . I be use it for both light and blunt object . it come with battery and a belt carry case . this be a 3 cell light not the 2 cell like it be state . give off a good amount of light and I be hope that because it be lead that the battery will last forever . +394 Flashlight POS 5 11 year I have have my maglite -lrb- I believe I buy it in 2001 , possibly 2002 -rrb- and it still shine just as bright with the same bulb . I do not use it daily , just whenever the circumstance arise -lrb- power outage , camping , work under the hood of vehicle , underneath vehicle , kitchen sink work in bottom cabinet , bathroom plumbing , attic , outdoors at night , etc. -rrb- you know it be quality when Law Enforcement use it and carry it around with they at all time . not only be it a quality bright flashlight , but a very intimidating flashlight . I would sure hate to get club with this beast ! after 11 year , the seal over the button switch have fall off , but the switch itself still work fine without it , also have collect many scratch and dent over the decade . it be be drop so many time that I now have the sound memorize and could tell you without even look that it drop to the cement due to many mechanic use . by far , dollar for dollar , it be the best ! sure you can find brighter light that be if you want to pay $ 100 to $ 200 , but for $ 25 this can not be beat ! +638 Flashlight NEG 2 I buy this think it be one of the nice law enforcement grade holster . I be wrong . this be a cheap make in china piece . the leather be not high quality at all , the ring be make of HOLLOW plastic not metal ! the snap be also make of plastic . I give it two star because one , I know it will break soon , two , it be not what I want , and three it be not maglite quality . I have 7 maglite , all of which I have buy from the maglite dealer on amazon . I have never be unsatisfied by the dealer here , or the maglite brand . I be suprised . +11 Flashlight POS 5 awesome must have for Mag Light fan . put one anywhere you might need a light . garage Door , basement , Golf Cart , ATV , Truck , Car , Boat and so on . hold light very tight and secure . Mount on a golf cart to use as a headlight . many application for this well make product . +296 Flashlight POS 5 need to light up a space with a powerful flashlight ? this be the way to go . it be a bit lighter than the 4 d cell version which be great for anyone who might want or need to hand-hold this for more than a minute or two . for my money this 2 cell light throw just as powerful a beam as its bigger sibling . it focus to a concentrated spot and with the twist of you wrist spread a broad beam to light a path in the darkest place . I have stand it on end , bounce the light off the ceiling and illuminate a small room with mine . not enough to live with but certainly look for something small on the floor ! the rubber gasket keep water out if you need to use it in the rain or in any place it might get a good dousing . the rubberized power switch be easy to find in the dark and easy to click on . a extra lamp come in the base cap . nice touch . +544 Flashlight NEG 2 the Mag-Lite Solitaire be well design and well make but simply be not bright enough . however , if all you use a flashlight for be look for you key under the seat of you car or assist with read menu , it may be ok . it have a sleek design , and it be appeareance will not draw attention on a keychain . it function like any other -lrb- large -rrb- minus mag light , by twist the end where the light come out to turn it on and off . Change the battery by unscrew the other end . a spare bulb be conceal within the end cap . pro : - it be small . - it be well make , with all component fitting together smoothly , and a clean simple appearence . con : - it be just not that bright . some of the newer led flashlight be of a similar size but much brighter . overall , I would have to give this one a pass , unless I develop a fetish for small , well design gadget -lrb- like watch , watch be SOOO cool ! and miniature sextent , those thing be sooo neat ! -rrb- . ok , so I have this fetish , and this would explain why I have a Solitaire in my toolbox . +249 Flashlight NEG 1 I buy this flashlight after see all the advertising for Maglite . what a disappointment ! it be small and put out maybe 20 lumen of light , if that . the lumen be so low that Maglite never even list the lumen on any of its product , unlike its competitor . this thing might make a decent booklight but that be not what I buy it for . for the same price at this over-hyped , underperformer I could get a flashlight 5x as powerful ! +485 Flashlight POS 5 I buy this light to replace my battery hungry surefire light in my edc -lrb- every day carry -rrb- kit . prior to buy I do some research and my choice come down to this light for the follow reason . 1 -rrb- battery life : this technology allow the mini-mag light to run for 96 hour on the low setting , which be bright enough for regular task at night . 2 -rrb- lead : not only do this extend the useable time of you aa battery , it be bulb life be tremendous , usually into thousand of hour -lrb- although mag light do not state the life expectancy of this particular bulb -rrb- . 3 -rrb- feature : with a twist of the head , this light go from high beam to low beam to flash to S.O.S mode . this be a awesome feature . if you be ever in a situation where you need a third party rescue , just flip on the S.O.S mode and you that much closer to salvation ! and as with most modern utility light , the Mini-Mag LED be water and shock resistant . 4 -rrb- size : although it be slightly longer than my surefire m2 Centurion , it be a lot thinner and easily fit inside my EDC kit which you can take a closer look at on my blog at theseniorscout.com +746 Flashlight NEG 1 this look like a nice flashlight until it fall . since then , I can not open the back anymore , so I can not even replace the battery . -lrb- try with really strong pliers , but even that do not work . -rrb- moreover , the lamp break in the fall and I can not access the spare the the same reason . simply have to throw it out . I would rather have high quality plastic . no more maglite for I . +581 Flashlight NEG 2 I be use these to hold my flashlight in my car , and they break . just in the course of usage , not in a car wreck or anything . I be use they to hold the light horizontally , so maybe a vertical position mount on a wall would work better , but even for that I would rather make something myself than buy these . +823 Flashlight POS 5 I know I would like the 6d cell mag Lite . I use one of the old model for 30 year until a leak battery kill the switch . they do not make a replacement switch for the `` pre d '' serial number so I have to replace it . good price and very prompt delivery -lrb- two day from order -rrb- . a great flash light and a even better defensive weapon . I never go on a alarm call without the mag Lite and S&W; 38 special . the only change I would make might be a 44 magnum . +910 Flashlight POS 5 bought 4 of these as stock stuffer and do not realize what a hit they would be . we have they tuck in glove box in we car , tool box , kitchen drawer . just small enough to fit into small storage area but not so small they get lose . the light produce be great . a very handy tool that I buy on a lark and would not be without now . +773 Flashlight POS 4 my son want a maglite for he birthday . could not find the six cell flashlight at the local shop in Ames , Iowa . Amazon come through and he enjoy he big flashlight . +594 Flashlight POS 5 I buy this flashlight because , every time I need a flashlight around the house . the battery would be weak or dead . and to replace the battery usually cost more than the flashlite be worth . the recharable maglight , be heavy duty , durable , and a very , very bright light . very please with this light . Wish I have buy one sooner . +431 Flashlight POS 5 the Sheriffs deputy in we police department carry the `` magcharger '' system flashlight for decade , and the reason be very clear : this be one of the most powerful semi-compact flashlight on the market . there be a lot of great flashlight out there , and the latest led light be awesome for light output , longevity , and burn time , but you really can not mess with perfection . I have have the chance to use the rx1019 for a long time because a family member be a cop and carry one . my first impression be holy cow ! I have see some really bright light , the 9 volt search and rescue spot light , 5 + watt lead light from Surefire , Pelican , etc. , but the mag be as bright , if not brighter , and cost $ 100 less than the Surefire . this be not a led-type lamp light system . it use a high-pressure halogen bulb fill with xenon and krypton gas . it be similar to the one in you car . Streamlight 's Stinger -lrb- also a awesome light , which I own -rrb- series use they as well to great effect . the difference between the halogen and lead lamp be that the led do not use a filament to generate light , so they last longer , run considerably cooler , and use less energy -lrb- more efficient -rrb- . they also produce light that be closer on the Kelvin scale to daylight , so it be much purer , whiter light , which provide better visibility at night . they can be very powerful , but they just do not produce the same effect as a halogen bulb , and lead technology be still be perfect . in the box , you get the flashlight , charge cradle , battery , car adapter , ac adaptor , and two mount plate for mount the charge cradle to a wall or other surface . the Nicad battery be not a `` sub-c '' type , but have cell similar in size to c-cell battery for increase run time . in fact , mag claim 2-hour run time , and I can substantiate that . it do take a while to charge it though . I really like the Magcharger . it be not `` small '' at over 12 inch long and 1-1\/2 inch thick , or lightweight either -lrb- that big battery stick be heavy , but without it , the light be really lightweight -rrb- . it weigh 2 or so pound , which be not really a detriment . every mating surface -lrb- tail cap , lens bezel , focus head -rrb- , include the switch , be rubber seal for water resistance . it be get a temper glass lens that be really tough and unlikely to break . you get a spare bulb in the tail cap , and change the bulb be simple : unscrew the lens bezel , take out the lens , and pull out the bulb . plus , it be beautiful . it be construct of aircraft aluminum that be be machine from a billet , and it be make entirely of aluminum , then anodize with gloss black inside and out for maximum corrosion resistance in marine and other harsh environment -lrb- think Iraq , the desert -rrb- . the body be knurl for a good grip , and the charge contact be actually a polished aluminum ring that encircle the front of the light behind the switch . the weight and heft of the light be actually beneficial because you can use it as a weapon if you have to . cop know this , and this be why they carry the mag . it be a effective weapon as well . Cold hard aluminum can do serious damage . this toughness also mean it be well-protected from abuse . I have hear story of these be run over , drop off building , fall out of the back of a pickup on the highway , and submerge for day and they still work -lrb- bulb might need change -rrb- . now for the flashlight part of the mag . to say it be bright be a understatement . this thing be really bright . Maglite say you can get 40,000 candle power , which be a lot . it throw a bright shaft of light over 250 foot in spot mode . focus it to flood and you can illuminate a very large area . the focus action be very solid , with no noticable play or eccentrcity . up close , the beam be positively blind . this be much brighter than my Streamlight Stinger , which be already very bright . the beam be very powerful . if you be to shine someone in the eye with this , it would be debilitating and disorienting , which be good if you be a cop enter a house with possible suspect inside , or in a home defense situation . it be almost like this be make for law enforcement ! the only gripe I can think of revolve around the nature of the beast . the lens area get really hot during extend operation and can burn you if you come into contact with it . also , the Nicad battery stick only last about a year of constant charge\/discharge cycle , and replace it be expensive . plus , maybe a minor gripe , you can not use it in a HazMat environment . so ... pro : Super bright can be use as a defensive weapon adjustible beam high quality construction solidly build water resistant good run time rechargable will outlast you Cons : Lens get very hot battery pack do not last very long can not use it in HazMat environment I really like the Magcharger . it do everything you want it to very well , and even do a little more . it be beautiful , reliable , durable , and a high quality instrument that will last you for year and year . if you be look for a new light , but do not want a led , or want something bigger than the Stinger , check out the rx1019 . +108 Flashlight NEU 3 I order a flashlight for Father 's day and expect it in a new package like the maglite c cell flashlight I order but it be wrap in newspaper . the piece that detach at the bottom be in a old ziploc bag . the flashlight look pretty new but I have never receive a package like that . I will be order another flashlight soon but I wonder how its go to be package . +239 Flashlight POS 5 I have be a home inspector for 19 year . about 14 year ago , I buy a mag rechargeable . in all of those year of crawl under hundred of house , bang that light against rock , floor joist , and in one case , a agitate field rat , this thing have never fail I . I be look at buy a second one , and only my FOURTH battery after all of those year !!! one of the reason for buy another one be that the switch finally fail , and I refuse to use a ` lesser ' light while I be have this one repair . the time that I have have to use my backup regular flashlight -lrb- a pretty decent rayovac roughneck -rrb- , it have be like be ` blind ' under a house ! the pure brightness be amazing ! the spot focus on this light be very precise , though I have find that some bulb focus better than other . these thing be also tough ... I have drop mine a couple of DOZEN time onto concrete and asphalt -lrb- yep !!! I be clumsy ! -rrb- and that will sometimes kill a bulb . . but the flashlight be almost indestructible ! if you could just see how battered and scar this thing be , you would not believe it still work ! you will not be disappoint in this flashlight ! it be the BEST investment that I have make in equipment ever !!! enjoy ! +120 Flashlight POS 5 I have own one of these for almost 8 year now . it be the best flashlight I ever purchase . I buy it when I be in college and work as a student Auxiliary for the college Police Department . my flashlight have suffer a great deal more then most flashlight can handle . it be be drop , run over , use as a hammer , use to pound in tent stake , constantly take on road trip , I can not even remember all of the thing I have do to it . all I can tell you be it still work . the best thing about the 6c be that it be lighter and thinner than the 6d but still be big enough and bright enough to get the job do . I even buy one for my best friend to keep in he truck . to keep it work well you should occasionally apply a small mount of Vaseline to the thread to keep the thread and o-ring lubricate . if you do that it should last you a long time . +628 Flashlight POS 4 the DeWalt dw908 18-volt flashlight accept DeWalt 18V battery , either nicd or lithium ion . if you use DeWalt 18V cordless power tool and have 2 or more DeWalt 18V rechargable battery , then this be a useful flashlight . of course , it work like any rechargable flashlight and its pretty bright as you would expect for a 18v flashlight . the value of it be in help manage battery life of the 18 volt ni-cd battery - you can use the flashlight to fully discharge the battery before recharge , thus get some use out of a battery that might be too weak to run you saw , but that can light up you flashlight for awhile . this help prolong the life of the nicd battery . the flashlight have a swivel head and store a spare bulb . I would give it 5 star if the swivel head could be position in ANY angle up , down or sideways . +95 Flashlight POS 5 please excuse the length of my review . this be a product I feel very strongly about . `` bear in New York City during the Great Depression , Tony Maglica be raise in he mother 's native Croatia . '' Mr. Maglica be the founder of Mag Instrument , Inc. . he be a very talented leader who be dedicate to keep mag product make in America , and have to be personally satisfy with a product before he release it to the public . he be a shine example of a american success story . I buy american product whenever I can . my truck , my cigarette lighter , my flashlight , my dining room table , etc. , all make within we boarder . mag Instruments have a very large factory in Ontario , California -lrb- not Canada -rrb- that employ over 850 employee . this be a important factor , at least to I . the durability of a maglite be unparalleled . if you have some time to kill , go to Maglite.com and read some story submit by customer . grant , some may be exaggerate , but my mag have roll around in the bed of my truck for week and work perfectly when I need it . I have drop it in a creek while hunting and it never flicker . I have run over it accidentally while move a car and it be perfectly cylindrical . the amount of light produce be proportional to the size of the light . a solitaire AAA be not go to even compare to my 4d `` tire beater '' . it be simple science , but some do not understand . -lrb- important -- -rrb- -rrb- almost every critical reviewer complain about how the mag design be `` outdate '' . see for yourself . they cite that you can buy a brand such as `` SureFire '' and get a much brighter light in a much smaller package . I have a few grievence with that think process : - look at the price of those light . the cheapest `` SureFire '' I find be $ 95 . I , personally , do not want to spend $ 100 of my hard-earned money on something that do not even have a solid reputation behind it . -lrb- -lrb- . . -rrb- -rrb- - I doubt any competitor have as good of a warantee as mag . lifetime mean for the rest of you life . but , I doubt you 'll need it , with the quality of product they offer . - they complain about the size and lack of illumination . as state above , light output be proportional to the voltage of the power system . unless you need a tactical light to strap to you m4 assault rifle to do late-night drug bust , there be nothing wrong with something that actually have some size to it . in my mind , something that turn on every time you hit the switch be more valuable to the hard-working individual who need it on the job , or the individual who keep it in the car in case of a power outage or auto incident . - they say mag have not come out with a new product since the '80 , which be completely false . mag have come out with several lamp upgrade for someone who want led -lrb- I do not -rrb- , or hi-output incandescent bulb . they also have a entirely new product line of compact led torch to satisfy customer such as these . the reason they have not change they original design be because ... it work . it be such a simple system , so there be rarely any issue with it because there be nothing to go wrong . it be durable , reliable , and time-tested . I will never buy another brand of flashlight . mag be make in every size imaginable , so pick up you favorite from you local retailer or order one from Amazon . you will not be sorry .

I think I might have change the battery in it once or twice , and it get use pretty often . I also use a large spot light for spot thing in the dark while drive off road . but this 3 d cell flashlight work great when we get out of the truck at night , or or when set up a camp or walk down a trail . some of the `` road '' I have drive would have take out a average flashlight , and though the paint have be scrape off here and there , it still work great . at home we have one near the front door and if we hear something outside this thing have enough power to spot anything you point it at . I know everyone be into LED now , but as I have say I this thing be well build and put out enough light to do the job . +414 Flashlight POS 5 3 pound , extremely durable , bright ... what else could you need ? caution : this item be strong enough to be consider a weapon , either as a lightsaber or beater stick , it will fracture skull with little force . rapist beware ... +671 Flashlight POS 5 I have several of these Mini MagLites . they be solid , well-made , great little flashlight , with extra feature : beam focus -lrb- just twist the head -rrb- , spare bulb holder -lrb- inside the rear cap -rrb- , and a candle mode -lrb- take the head off and it become a base for the barrel -rrb- .

I keep one in the center console of my car . it be great for old eye look at a map or direction at night , when the dome light just be not quite enough . it be also a help for a quick look under the hood , in the trunk , or under the seat . of course , I keep a regular Mag-Lite in the trunk , too . I keep one in my office desk in case of a power outage , or when the time light go off in the evening , or for digging around in the computer or copier . I keep one by my home computer for those time when you have to go poke around inside . I keep one in the headboard of my bed , again in case of a power outage . I learn my lesson in the 1994 Northridge earthquake ; it be still dark and the power be out , and various and sundry thing have fall on the floor -- it be no fun walk around in the dark with bare foot when there be lot of stuff scatter about . there be a couple of other -lrb- kitchen and garage -rrb- , just to have around . just remember to check the battery every few month , and when the bulb burn out and you use the spare in the rear cap , replace it before you forget -lrb- mag instrument lm2a001 replacement lamp for AA Mini MagLite , 2-pack +766 Flashlight POS 5 I be a maglite repeat customer , so I guess I have already know I would like this aaa version .

I be still use the same rechargeable mag Lite that I be issue in 1990 -lrb- the same model as list here -rrb- . I have wear out half a dozen squad car , and receive a new mounting\/charger bracket with each new car , but always keep the same flashlight . I have have to replace the little rubber button over the switch a couple of time as my thumb wear through it finally . but the light be the same one I be originally issue . it be very , very bright and completely reliable . it have be drop -lrb- if you drop it switch on , it will probably knock the bulb dead -rrb- , submerge , chill to 17 below and 150 above , and switch on\/off literally ten of thousand of time . it be have a few high speed ride outside lay on the air intake below my windshield wiper . I have knock out car window with it , have use it as a impact weapon , and have even use the butt end for a hammer . I have work numerous squad car crash , and have never see a instance of a maglite that have jump out of its mount bracket due to a crash . there be room in the endcap to keep a spare bulb tuck in a piece of foam or napkin . the bulb last a long time and be easily replace . the battery stick last a long time -lrb- about 2 hour on a charge -rrb- and it be as easy to replace as change any flashlight battery . if you use the light for public safety work -lrb- police , fire , EMS , security -rrb- , and keep it in you in-car mount\/charger bracket , you will likely never see it go dim ... until it reach end of life , which be every couple of year with heavy use . it be big enough to use for self-defense , and can easily be carry on a duty belt by slip it though the handcuffs carry there , or you can use a ring make for that purpose , or just slip it inside you beltline behind you back . and -lrb- this be important -rrb- it be big enough to be carry by tuck it under you armpit , thus leave both hand free . you can not do that with small flashlight . it be also big enough not to be easily lose in the grass in the dark , like some of the hi-tech minus flashlight . I like this light so much that about 10 year ago I purchase another one out of pocket and mount the charger on the workbench in my garage . that have turn out as equally successful as my shop flashlight . when you buy this kit , you 'll get one charger\/mounting sleeve that you can mount in either home or car , and they include the proper electrical hardware to power it up by plug into either home or car power source . that be my experience . this thing be a workhorse and I consider it a `` partner '' at work . I highly recommend it . +635 Flashlight POS 5 I have use Maglites various flashlight for many different job . from use it on the job in law enforcement to make sure there be always one handy at home or in the car . they be rugged and durable and take a beating . +78 Flashlight POS 4 I be use mag flashlight for 3 year . it have never make I upset . if you afraid from the dark try mag flaslight , it kill the dark in every condition . rain , mist or dust can not stop it . on the other hand the bulb technolgy be antic . so if you be consider to buy a new one , try model with led bulb +783 Flashlight POS 5 Maglite flashlight be renown for they top-notch quality , they waterproof \/ water resistant design , and they extremely durable and corrosion-resistant aircraft grade aluminum casing . the Maglite AA Mini Flashlight -lrb- model : m2a01h -rrb- be no exception . pro -- - come with a Holster the holster have a loop for thread a belt through . it be well-stitched and make of durable nylon . - waterproof \/ water resistant the maglite be immersible in a few foot of water . - durable the aircraft grade aluminum make the casing of the Maglite extremely durable and completely corrosion resistant . - small and portable the maglite be handy for emergency , hike , camping and other use - and its small size make it very portable for take it along anywhere you go so you would not be catch without a flashlight when you need one ! - well-crafted and beautiful con -- - Painted Exterior The black paint of the exterior be extremely durable but it can get inadvertantly scratch off . if that be a concern , I would recommend the silver maglite , which have a bare , unpainted aluminum surface . - incandescent flashlight bulb the incandescent flashlight bulb that come with the Maglite can blow out , especially when subject to extreme temperature . LED Flashlight Bulb Replacement ------------------------------- the terralux lead flashlight bulb lead light bulb be brighter , use less energy , and have a 30,000 hour lifespan . conclusion ---------- the Maglite Mini Flashlight be waterproof \/ water resistant , portable , and have a extremely durable exterior . if use with a lead flashlight bulb , the Maglite Mini Flashlight be a extremely bright and reliable light source that consume very little battery power . it just do not get any better than this ! +404 Flashlight POS 5 best flashlight I have see . First receive as a gift , and have purchase 7 more for business and private use , never a problem and battery last for year in they . +42 Flashlight POS 4 I have slog through my life use one crappy flashlight after another . finally , after I lose power at my house for 3 day , I say enough be enough and purchase this flashlight . it be simply amazing . solidly construct . incredibly bright . Worth every penny . Update : well , my feeling about this product be not so rosy anymore . after about 1.5 year of own this flashlight , it stop work . I open the battery case and discover that the battery be leak . I check the warranty and although the flashlight have a lifetime warranty , the battery do not -lrb- it be cover for only 1 year -rrb- . understandable , but it be unfortunate it last less than 2 year and it be $ 20 for a new one . +953 Flashlight POS 5 in Japan this be the best item to examine pupil reflex for light and to see palate or tonsil . +673 Flashlight POS 5 if you already own a Dewalt drill or any Dewalt tool and already have the battery this light be for you . buy it for my husband and he love it . +976 Flashlight POS 5 if you find yourself walk small dog after dark in coyote infested area , this be for you . just wrap it with ice hockey tape and you will be good to go ! +644 Flashlight NEG 1 I have go through two of these flashlight . they be horrible . they work great when they work , and the light be bright but after the first time I use it it get dim and now when I turn it on it flicker and go off . a much better flashlight that I own be the Illuminator Flashlight . it be a hand crank flashlight . it be also less than this flashlight on Amazon . +101 Flashlight NEU 3 this flashlight be construct to the same high standard as the other maglite that I have use . however , the beam quality be not as good as my d and aa maglite . it provide a good spot focus but the wide-angle beam be very non-uniform , which can make see where you be walk at night difficult . I have find the beam quality of the 2AA Maglite to be much superior for walk outside after dark . +872 Flashlight POS 4 so everyone love Mini Maglights , or even Maglites in General , even though everyone know they be not that bright and you can buy brighter light out there , but everyone also know that they maglite be go to last a long time and for a cheap price , you can purchase a led drop in that will surely Surprise Alot of people !! these flashlight be great ! by themselves maybe not all that bright , but Purchase a Drop in Led and be surprise at how good these can actually be !! so 4 Stars because of the light brightness by itself , but spend another $ 10 - $ 15 and you will have a awesome Led light that will last basically forever and will probably extend you battery time while be a Million time Brighter !! you can not beat $ 8 for a Mini Maglite +49 Flashlight POS 5 the price at Amazon make it a no-brainer purchase to go along with you maglite . I have install three of these around the house . after six month of active use , I have not observe any sign of crack or yield in the plastic . a few reviewer have mention that they have manage to break a few of these , and this might be cause by improper installation . it be imperative that , when use two clip for a flashlight , that they be perfectly align . if they be out of line by even a few millimeter they will require much more force to place and remove the flashlight . alternatively , use just one clip for at least the 3 cell light seem to work just fine as well . overall , I be satisfy with this product and consider it to be a good value at the advertised price . +227 Flashlight POS 5 we own four of these flashlight and we love they . they be small and portable and the Xenon bulb be extremely bright . we have two in the bedroom for power failure or to grab in bad weather and I use the other in my tool kit for when I be work on something in a dark area or at night . I like the rugged design and I put a hand loop through the key ring on they so that when I be walk or work I do not drop it . there be a spare bulb in the base of the flashlight which I like and I always keep one there in the special fitting . Make sure that if you buy spare bulb that you get the xenon replacement as they be the brightest and the best . +317 Flashlight POS 4 First of all , for those wonder , this be not the latest revision of the Maglite Mini lead . as of this write the latest Maglite Mini LED be 77 lumen while the one I get from Amazon be 69 lumen . I know 8 lumen be not a huge difference but I be a sucker for have the latest version . the flashlight it be self be nice . I keep it in a black organizer so the silver stand out nicely . this be the first flashlight I have use and own that have different mode . honestly , about a month ago I do not even know flashlight have become so technologically advance so the mode be very cool . especially low power mode . you do not always need all 69 lumen so save some battery life be a plus . overall , it be a very nice flashlight especially for the $ 14 I pay for it . at it be normal advertised price there might be better option out there that be brighter and smaller . do I mention this flashlight be almost 7 '' long ? it be pretty big . on another note , do anyone know if the aftermarket crenelate bezel and window breaker for the incandescent Mini Maglite will fit on the lead version ? +826 Flashlight POS 4 after receive one of these and a larger mag as a gift I be not sure where I would use this flashlight . as it turn out , I be use it more than the larger light . it be small size make it incredibly useful for small maintenance task such as work on a computer , poke around a car or even find thing you drop behind furniture . it be brightness be surprising . I have find it to be almost as bright as the mag 2d light . I have some contact problem when I put the first set of battery in , but after play with the spring in the back and make sure the end cap be tight it work fine and have fail since . +52 Flashlight POS 5 this be a great flashlight , but more than that due to the mass of the three d cell and construction of the unit . change a tire , I use mine to bang the jack and torque off the stuck lug nut . Bareley a mark on the flashlight . highly recommend . the minimag be a good flashlight for the glovebox , and I keep the 3d model under the seat . +646 Flashlight POS 5 it be slightly heavy but team with the Maglight belt loop , make a excellent security accessory . I recently use it in we farm paddock to identify a Dingo and disposed of it , as it be threaten livestock . +384 Flashlight POS 5 these clip work geat for mount a D-Cell Maglite in the trunk of the car . or even on most surface . +613 Flashlight NEU 3 maglite be very high quality light that be very reliable . however something like a 4d maglite be extremely bulky for the light output that be achieve . the capacity of the d cell just give really long run-time rather than more output . after a hour of use the output have already drop by 50 % . the majority of the run-time be below 50 % . I would much rather have Maglite use a brighter bulb and have less run-time . it do not do much good to have 10hr of run-time if the light have really weak output for 90 % of the runtime . a surefire g2 for $ 36 be about the size of a Minimag yet actually have more output than this 4d maglite . I just can not stomache use a light larger than a 2d maglite . I stuff the mag lead module in one and now I can justify have such a large light . it run at 50 % of its start output for about 20 hr now . with the mag lead module , the 2d be put out the same output as the stock 4d maglite and have more useful battery life . the 4d maglite be obsolete by my standard . way too big for what you get . I really like the c-cell model however because they have the same brightness but be smaller and use the battery more usefully . haul around 4 d-cell for 10hr of useless light be not very useful in my opinion . I only use Maglites to modify and create some awesome light . in stock form they be pretty sad . I have a small Princeton tec that use 4aa battery which be as bright as a 4d maglite and completely blow away a 2d maglite . it only weigh 5oz . as well . maglite would have a much better light if they simply through in a textured reflector for a smoother beam . after use Surefire and Streamlight flashlight I can not get over how terrible the beam be on maglite . one thing I can say be that although maglite be extremely outdated they be very durable and reliable light . I have never have problem with any mag product I have ever own . they be tough and will put up with abuse . they have be pretty well beat out by Streamlight for Law Enforcement use . a small Streamlight Stinger weigh 1\/3 of what a 2d maglite do yet have twice the light output of a 4d maglite . +719 Flashlight NEG 1 I can not believe they still make this . I have have my aa maglight since 8th grade . I have replace the bulb about 10 time back in the day . as soon as led light come out - I upgrade , and NEVER look back . Modern lead light be way bright , much more durable , and many of they much smaller . Cheapo Fenix single AAA be build better than this , be much smaller , and MUCH BRIGHTER . I just can imagine a single instance when I would recommend this . +997 Flashlight POS 5 I order one of these about a year ago for my husband who be work for a auto shop at the time . this flashlight have take a serious beating and still work just as well as the day i buy it . Maglite make the most durable flashlight in the industry at a price that will not break the bank . we be very pleased with this purchase ! +661 Flashlight POS 4 I keep my maglite clip to the door of my truck . with two clip , the light would sometimes bounce out , if I close the door hard . I buy a second set of the clip , and add a third clip to hold my 5 cell in place . it have not come out unintentionally since add the third clip . when I grab it in a hurry , it still come out with a solid tug . it be nice to have the maglight where it can be reach in a hurry . +193 Flashlight POS 5 it be lighter than the 6 cell and easier to handle . it also take a beating and keep on work . at most , you may need to replace the bulb if it take a really hard blow . if you need a flashlight spend a few more dollar and get one of these . they be worth it . if you want a `` torch '' buy a Surefire . they be smaller , brighter , and a lot weigh about as much as a mini-maglite . if you want durability however buy a maglite . +190 Flashlight POS 4 they fit the mag light like a glove . but the hardware that come with they be worthless . unless you be mount the holder on a wooden surface , you can not use the screw provide , you would think at the price I pay they would include some insert with the scre to mount the holder on a dry wall . +41 Flashlight POS 5 this be the best , most usable flashlight I have ever use . get a bright color or silver so you can find it in the DARK . significant advantage over cheap throw-away light : - aluminum construction make it durable and beautiful . - great size for the hand - relatively light weight -lrb- but heavier than cheap plastic light ! -rrb- - Extra bulb hold within the flashlight ! - take two common aa battery - candle function . neat ! - focusable beam change from wide to narrow and bright . - come with a durable cloth holster . this be my flashlight of choice for around the house , toolbox , camping , and emergency kit . it be tough , reliable , and look pretty nice too . I do not recommend the camo design - it can be easy to lose if you drop it outside ! +155 Flashlight POS 5 unless you want to spend hundred on a flashlight -lrb- see streamlight-primarily use by fireman -rrb- you can not find a better unit than a maglite . I have AAA , AA , C and D cell maglte flashlight . both my wife and I feel that the c cell size be easier to hold than the d cell model . I really prefer the 3 c cell model-i find the length just right , though the 2 cell model fit in car better . make in the USA . and can be easily upgrade to a lead ` bulb ' . a little bonus : if you live in hurricane territory , when the store run out of d cell battery , there be always c cell battery on the shelf , mean you can get battery when other can not . +892 Flashlight POS 5 hus all ... this maglite be worth for the money u spend on it ... the halogen lamp give u a powerful beam of light . . only thing be battery consumption ... so if u guy get a rechargeable battery then its fine ... I will definitely recommend this product . . its very handy to carry , light weight and go in to pocket just like pen ... very useful to carry along you travel . . it really help in case of breakdown in the middle of the road ... +98 Flashlight POS 5 a very good pen flashlight for the money . reliability be outstanding . light output be above average for its size . risk of it turnig on in you pocket be not not zero but can be manage by use a belt holster or the shirt pocket clip . this be my new favorite flashlight and as of right now -lrb- to the best of my knowledge -rrb- it beat any of the bulky led light in term of light output v size +754 Flashlight POS 5 this be my third Mini Maglite ... I have one in my hunting gear one in my auto and carry one on my person when work . just purchase for my carry Maglite the leather sheath fantastic product and a great flashlight and sheath . many have try but none compare to the quality and price . +986 Flashlight POS 5 while I have run into a flashlight that be slightly more waterproof than this one it be almost three time more expensive . in my humble opinion value be a major component of any design . for this reason , this flashlight rate a 5 . grasp this in you hand and you be immediately strike by its design in strength and careful manufacturing . the adjustable beam , which spread or focus the light expand the usefulness . narrow for read a map late at night or wide angle for walk down the lane . a spare bulb -lrb- a old concept that seem to have get lose until now -rrb- increase the likelihood that you will have light when you want it . mag take a simple product , add important feature and then use quality material and method to produce it at a very attractive price . +798 Flashlight POS 5 this a great light , especially if you already have some other Dewalt tool that use the same battery . the head pivot to give different lighting angle and with the battery it stand up on it be own with no problem . no more buy disposable battery for flashlight . +524 Flashlight POS 5 great flashlight . dependable sturdy construction . definitely a light that will last a lifetime . love the spot to flood head . theres a reason why cop use to and sometimes still do use they , they work ! +895 Flashlight NEG 1 3 week ago , I contact Maglite for a replacement switch for my 4-d flashlight , in which the switch fail . the customer service rep ask I for my serial number , which I give she and she assure I that I could get a replacement switch . I give she my name and address and she say that a shipment have just go out , and it would be in the next shipment . that be fine with I . day turn into week . still no part . more day go by . still no part in the mail . hmmmm . be this how long time customer be treat ? I previous own a variety of they flashlight , from a AAA Solitaire to a 5-d flashlight , at least 5 in total . my dad have purchase in the neighborhood of 15 or more himself , start in about '86 when someone else turn he onto Maglites . customer support be as important to I as the product itself . have customer support become a casualty of a tough economy ? this long-time customer will have to look at alternative the next time he be buy a flashlight . +802 Flashlight POS 5 I do a lot of research before purchase the magcharger flashlight . it be by far the best value all around and Amazon have it for the best price . I highly recommend this product if you want a flashlight to last a lifetime . +724 Flashlight POS 5 you can not beat the value and quality of all MagLite flashlight . they just can not be beat ! +361 Flashlight NEU 3 I use to have a incandescent minus maglite , and I really like it . when I lose it , I think I would upgrade to a lead version . I be disappoint . as far as brightness go , there do not seem to be a great difference between my old maglite use nimh battery and the led maglite with alkaline . the beam be more uniform in the lead version , but I find the bluish tint to be harder to see in than the reddish incandescent light . my main complaint , though , be that the lead version do not work properly with my nimh battery . it produce a very dim , barely visible light with one set of older , fully charge nimh battery I have . when I try a higher capacity , fully charge set , it do not produce any light at all . I be return this version and get a incandescent version instead . +178 Flashlight POS 5 as other have point out , these be not some kind of high quality coated spring steel , but if you have notice the price , you have figure that out already . they work as advertise . nice and cheap , too . +617 Flashlight POS 5 I have couple of 2-aa , 3-d cell and a 5-d cell maglite for 20 year . they never fail . the only time it fail be when the battery melt and glue everything shut inside . it be impossible to clean it out . I also have a bunch of led flashlight from the old 1 watt to the newer 3 watt lead . the led be much brighter but blue\/white\/cold in color . so , the LED be not dense enough . it will not reach far . the led go about 20-25 foot max and everything be fuzzy . the maglite on the other hand , be warm\/orange in color . it be like a fog light that can go up to 50 foot . it be not as bright as the led but it be much much clear and sharper to see what be at the far end . I use the led mostly for go behind the desk\/under the table kinda work . but for real work like go under the crawl space or go up in the attic , I have get to use the Maglite . the lead just will not cut it . I replace the bulb with the newer xenon light bulb . this light bulb make the Maglite much better . it be brighter and whiter but at the same time be still warm\/orange in color . so , it be still dense enough to see far and sharp . beside use the Maglite as a flashlight , you can also use it to crack and smash anything you want and it will not compliant . 5 star ! +705 Flashlight POS 5 these mount keep a Maglite secure even when mount on a bulldozer . they be well worth the money if you need to mount a maglite . I would purchase these again in the future . very easy to use and mount . very pleased . +461 Flashlight POS 5 for a small flashlight , this one be great . it be significantly better than the non-led version of the same light . the light output from this light be clean , focusable , artifact free , have good color and be about 5 time brighter than the non-led version . the light still support `` candle mode '' too . the flashlight be about 1 '' larger than the non-led version . light output be fairly consistent and strong for a over 3 hour . it be definitely worth buying . +481 Flashlight POS 5 a well know , try and true product with enormous light output and long battery life . we own many . +454 Flashlight POS 5 when I get the maglite lead I sorta expect it to be good , how about great , wonderful , amazing ! only 3 White LED 's and you can light up the backyard like daytime . I be go to have to give away my old maglite as they just do not cut it anymore . +148 Flashlight POS 5 these be great light . I have have at least 5 maglight in my life and each one have be there reliabily even after be drop and on in the rain and in the mud ... I be pretty rough on they . I even have one in the bedroom I find they so very useful . I be sure you will find they usefull too , no matter what size you get ! other than that , take care and good luck shopping , unless you be shop for a good light in which case you really do not need good luck ... you have it , yes , buy the light now ... what else be there to say right now ... ? oh , I know try to buy a L.E.D. one now-a-day , as those last longer ... this one be not that type , BUT it be almost the same , so keep think good thought , not just about life , but about this light -lrb- notice how light and life be often the same in metaphor ? -rrb- . you can comment on this review and metaphor and light if you want . +60 Flashlight POS 5 I own too many Maglites to count , and have never have any trouble with any of they . some I buy myself , and some I have receive as gift over the year . I keep they everywhere -lrb- home , car , office , briefcase etc. . . -rrb- , include place where they be subject to abuse and neglect , and they just keep on work . I think they light output be tremendous . +721 Flashlight NEG 1 this maglite have its glory for the past many year ; that be before the LED era . let it go and get the lead version . the incandescent lightbulb for this maglite burn out fast , and it be not bright at all compare to the lead version . maglite should have stop manufacture this a long time ago . they be still in production because many folk do not know anything about the newer lead technology that be available today . let this sucker r.i.p. +995 Flashlight POS 5 my company buy one of these Mag Lights and I didnt expect much from a rechargeable light . wow be I wrong , this light be better than any dry cell flashlight ever make . this be more like a spotlight on a police car with 50,000 candle power . we use this light all the time in a industrial enviroment where it get greasy a lot , and this have lead it to be drop a time or two , none the less it have never fail to operate like new . . the rechargeable feature on this light be so handy . we just hang up the light at the end of the day in its cradle and it be ready for hard action the next day ... +659 Flashlight POS 5 I have own a dozen of these small lite over time and they be great as hunting light to get to the tree stand as well as go from the garage to the house late at night . awesome power from such a small light . +715 Flashlight POS 5 it be just a flashlight , no big deal , but it be PURPLE and it be a maglite . I have four of they in different size , and I have never have one fail . +89 Flashlight POS 4 so far this be a great tool to expand the use of we 18v tool battery . I wish that DeWalt would update the tool with either a lead lamp or a Xenon lamp opion becuase the lamp it use be neither super bright nor super efficient . +786 Flashlight POS 4 product seem to work just fine . it ship in a decent time . +522 Flashlight POS 5 I purchase a mini-maglite in 1994 while in the Marine Crops in a raid-company . I practice raid on zodiac -lrb- the rubber raft that you see special force use in the movie -rrb- and everywhere I go I have my flashlight with I . this flashlight be dunk in the ocean countless time ... drop ... kick ... use as a hammer ... leave in the rain . you get my drift . to this day i still have it ... it look rough , but still work the same as the day buy it . it be amazing . the only maintenance I have do be to wash the sand and salt off of it . +940 Flashlight NEG 2 while it be a solid , durable , and bright light , it have several big disadvantage . for one , the light output drop off way too fast . it have a impressive beam with fresh battery , but after relatively short use , it be too dim to justify the enormous size and weight of the thing . many light , such as the modestly price Surefire g2 pack just as much light output -lrb- or more -rrb- but be easily pocketable and much much lighter . also , the smoooth plastic reflector give it a dirty , spotty beam with noticible dark spot . really , the only thing this light have go for be that it be a pretty indimidating body and have a definite macho appeal . but if you look for serious illumunition look somewhere else . +30 Flashlight POS 5 I have have this mount hold my 3d maglight at the ready behind my bedroom door and in the kitchen . I live in L.A. , earthquake country . I mount the holder into a stud and they have be hold my mag at the ready for over five year . I remove they periodically to test and or use they . they lock in place very firmly . Mount the light lens down so dust will not collect on the lens . they do not slip out . +878 Flashlight POS 5 I purchase this flashlight for my car . it be very small and easy to store and be very bright . it will come in handy when I be on the road . +352 Flashlight POS 5 while this be not something you would want to carry on you person every day as I do with a compact cr123 lead light that cost a lot more money but also work a lot better , it fill a great role in a vehicle as a illumination tool and impact weapon if that be what you be into . I have go though a few of the 4d version over the year , battery leakage have always eventually kill they live in the truck , but they be cheap enough to replace it be not a big deal . this bad boy on Amazon be a great buy and a aftermarket lead conversion really wake it up . what else be there to say ? it be a maglike , it be big and heavy , it be be around forever , it be extremely inexpensive for what you be get , and it 'll take a lot of abuse before give up the ghost . heck , for this price you could swap the led conversion from light to light as they die\/wear out and probably have a truck light for a few decade until we be all ride bicycle anyway . overall , a solid piece of kit and the low , low price from Amazon make the cost of the aftermarket lead conversion easier on the wallet . +674 Flashlight POS 5 brighter than I expect . hold a charge well . sturdy construction . I buy this one after use one that a mechanic friend have be use for he work . the original rechargeable battery in he maglite last for over ten year , despite heavy use . previously , it seem whenever I need the flashlight the battery be either weak or dead . it be nice to know this one be always charge and ready to shine . +119 Flashlight POS 5 I read some other review about this product battery ... that they do not last that long ... but guess what ! I prove it wrong ... I buy this item like 4 week ago and still have enough power to light a whole 20x20 foot room . now I see why police officer love this tool , they can be use as self defense , and virtually undestructible ! there be no way than this flashlight can be destroy ... all my friend have make a comment about it . the bottom line be that this flashlight be really usefull . I be back editing my review !!! I have not still change the flshlight battery in 5 month !!!! it have cover all my expectation ... above everything ! no more comment ... it ; s undestructible ... I have take it everywhere and use it alot ... do not mess with a mag light ! +160 Flashlight POS 5 fast delivery . I buy this fashlight for work . it have a adjustable beam and give off a bright light . I will buy from this web sight again . +174 Flashlight NEU 3 this be a great flashlight , but the color selection be confuse . if you select black it will take you to the lead version of the same flashlight . +903 Flashlight POS 5 I already have 2 of these for 4 yr . buy these for additional location and great price . good design , rugged , flexible beam , easy to see , interchangeable rechargeable battery . +926 Flashlight POS 5 another great maglite product . construct well , will take a lot of abuse . great light output . you 'll be happy with this flashlight .788 MAGCHARGER FLASHLIGHT SYSTEM +678 Flashlight POS 4 the Mini Maglite be a true american classic . however , with advancement in technology such as led and also the end cap switch , it be hard to justify . 1 . the Mini Maglite require use of two hand or one hand and you chin\/mouth to operate . in a emergency , this may not be possible . other flashlight now have end cap switch -lrb- push button at the end of the flashlight -rrb- . unless you need Mini Mag 's candle feature , the end cap switch be much easier to operate . 2 . Incandescent\/Xenon\/Krypton be out . lead be in . lead be much brighter , the `` bulb '' almost never burn out , and the battery last longer . whatever you choose , go with a lead flashlight . if you do not need the candle feature , get this streamlight jr lead instead because it be brighter that the Mini mag and have a end cap switch : streamlight 71500 jr c4 lead flashlight , black +939 Flashlight POS 5 I love this thing . I be not a hardcore tool guy but this little light be incredibly handy . it be beam be brighter and have a sharper focus than you would expect form a flashlight this size . it weigh next to nothing which mean it be easy to hold in you tooth when you do not have a free hand . if it be any testament to how great these light be , I have have three of they `` borrow '' from I and never return . this light and my Leatherman be just about the only tool I ever need . +577 Flashlight POS 5 I get one of these issue at work today because I could not find my normal use flashlight . I throw out the box immediately so I have to look up the multus mode feature online to clarify why the light be do what it be do . I really like these feature though . the 25 % brightness feature will help if you want to use the light in candle mode as the bare led be super bright and not suitable for light a table if the power go out . less bright equal more comfort in those situation . I can see myself use the flash feature as well . you could leave the light outside flash as a signal if someone be go to you house and could not find it , for instance . the SOS feature be a neat thing , I suppose , but I hope I never have to use it ! I have a mini mag aa at home with a lead conversion , but this one be much brighter . same mag quality you expect from they other stuff . if I have to buy this light , I certainly would . I be glad work give I one for free -lrb- go toolroom guy ! -rrb- but I want to recommend this product in case anyone be on the fence about it . +937 Flashlight NEG 1 this torch be huge and heavy , but even with new battery it be not particularly bright , and the light be yellow and full of shadow . there be far better light out there , like the SureFire m6 which be far , far brighter , much more robust and small . the maglite be only recommend for use as a club . +816 Flashlight POS 5 a big improvement over MagLite 's first lead minus : longer battery life when battery get low , light get dimmer instead of cycling on and off as with first lead version Works great on rechargeable battery Beam focus but not as well as original bulb-type mini-maglite I have drop it several time on a hard floor and it still work -lrb- not recommend -rrb- lead light reflect from animal 's eye +591 Flashlight POS 5 not too big , not too heavy , not too bright . . just right for any application -lrb- no filter include though -rrb- . good focus and light dispersement with a easy twist of the front -lrb- larger -rrb- part of the flashlight . +47 Flashlight POS 5 the quality of the leather belt holder for d cell flashlight be very good , I would recommend it to my friend . the shipping be very fast . good product , relaiable seller . thanks +333 Flashlight POS 5 machine from solid rigid aluminum , this be a small well design and well make metal flashlight that deliver a strong white light for only $ 11.75 . it take two aa battery by unscrew the end cap which have a rubber o ring to keep out water . it fit easily in you hand and turn on by twist the end with the light so it can no accidentally go on like some other light with switch or button . it be not a fancy ultra lead light like some more expensive one on the market and those have they place in you house , but with this one you get rugged , reliable bright light for just a few buck so you can afford to buy several and keep they in different place in you house or car for handy use . +850 Flashlight NEU 3 pro : it be fairly bright in the 100 % . the candle mode be sort of useful when work on something in the pitch black and you need both hand . con : the lead housing seem rather poorly place inside the tube , when work on a car and if you tap the flashlight on anything it will switch mode on you into S.O.S. mode -lrb- it blink in morse code -rrb- and it seem to happen quite often . overall for just a normal flashlight to use when walk around in the dark or look through storage it be decent , but if you be do anything that involve a lot of movement or tight quarter I would recommend a different flashlight . I end up give this one away and buy the fenix e21 flashlight +900 Flashlight POS 4 unless you be a nurse or a doctor I do not really recommend this light . it look nice , and the pocket clip make it perfect to clip to you coat , but the beam be extremely weak . I would only recommend this beam for pupil reactivity in the medical field . pro : - shockproof - battery include -lrb- 2aaa -rrb- - spare bulb in tailcap - Lanyard hole - clip include - adjustable Beam - operate in candle mode con : - go through battery fast - dim light , led be better - Poor reflector , cause dark spot characteristic of all maglite - expensive at Amazon . look for it elsewhere . - candle mode be not great during power outage , it be very dim if you be look for a everyday light to carry in you pocket or purse , I recommend a new microlight , it be brighter , more efficient , and do not eat through battery as fast . +894 Flashlight POS 5 I would like to say that I be very happy with the response purchase the MagLite Flashlight , the Item arrive very fast to Australia and the packaging be 1st class . I would recommend anytime and will be deal again very soon . Thankyou again +587 Flashlight POS 5 we have get several maglite . we keep they in we emergency kit in the car , in a few room in the house in case of power failure , and we like to pack the minus when we travel . maglite be durable and dependable , they be pretty much the only flashlight I will buy . the Mini Lights put out a good amount of light and be good to have around when hook up stereo or the time when there be a power outage . +346 Flashlight POS 4 flashlight be super bright , heavy duty case . nice that it only require 2 aa battery . Wish it come w \/ a spare bulb , even though it claim to last a gazillion hour , spare bulb be always nice . +205 Flashlight POS 5 ... it be big , it be a mag light and it really work when you need it . I purchase the sturdy clip and install it inside we key cabinet , so when we need it we just grab it , the key and go +400 Flashlight NEU 3 cheap , agile little flashlight that be great for take on long bike ride in the dark to use for fix bike , etc. . I drop it twice on the cement and now it do not work sometimes , do not know if it be damage but still a decent product . +684 Flashlight POS 5 the mini maglite be the perfect size for a purse , briefcase or tote bag . the adjustable beam allow for illuminate large or very small space . this versatile item be standard issue for all of we employee . +606 Flashlight POS 5 once in a while you 'll encounter a product that be so far out front that the other should pick up they marble and go home . mag-lite be the standard bearer in the flashlight category . -lrb- be it not for the picture , you would hardly know from the product description up there that we be talk about a 4-cell flashlight . -rrb- the primary job of a flashlight be , not surprisingly , to create light . mag get more light out of they flashlight than anybody . maybe it be the bulb , or the reflector . but no flashlight will come close to put out as much light as a mag . another quality we hope to find in any product be functionality -- do it work every time , or mainly when you do not need it ? I can not recall more than a time or two that a mag fail to come on . I have drop they from height that would have destroy anything less and they still work . I have a old black aa-size Mini-Mag here that spend about a decade in the cockpit of airplane -- the poorest light place this side of the Black Forest -- so it get a world of use . the place on the end cap for attach a lanyard or hang ring be worn completely through . but the little guy still work like a charm . the switch on this d-cell model be under live rubber ; it have a solid click on and off . the beam be adjustible to a sharp spot . you 'll probably want to set it there and leave it alone . i be certain that battery last longer in a mag-lite . the only explanation for this would seem to be that a tiny bit of battery drain occur on some other . before I become 100 % convert to mag I would too often pick up a flashlight that be full of dead battery . I can go for year without change the battery in a mag-lite . all mag be rugged . the barrel be sturdy aluminum extrusion -- not plastic or stamped metal . both end cap have o ring to keep the case waterproof . and who else would be so thoughtful as to put a extra bulb in the bottom endcap ? a reviewer below have a legitimate gripe about tubular thing not stay put on anything but a level surface . of course , that have be a complaint for year about pen and all kind of tubular device . this can be cure for the mag-lite with a very small bungee cord . tie several knot in it until it be shorten enough to fit tight around the barrel . the knot will keep the light from roll around . i like the new hot red Mag-Lites . anybody with any sense at all would know a pretty red flashlight would throw more light than a black one . it just stand to reason . +819 Flashlight POS 5 I buy a couple of these to keep in the glove compartment of my car . here be why I like it : 1 . this take up little space -lrb- even in the include holster -rrb- and weigh very little since it run on two aa battery -lrb- which be include -rrb- . 2 . the beam of light be fully adjustable from a wide area to a spot with a simple twist . it be very powerful consider the size . 3 . this work great when you be look for something under the car seat , need to read a map at night , or need to check under you hood . Shop for price . I buy the exact same thing at my local Home Depot for under nine dollar , which be less than half the current price on Amazon . +999 Flashlight POS 5 Got these a couple month ago , they be install in the trunk area of my jeep that see a lot of rough offroad terrain , even though they be make of plastic they be very durable and have yet to fail I . I have yet to even have the light fall out of the clip regardless of how rough the ride go . good price and good quality . +665 Flashlight POS 5 gift for my Marine son that just deploy to Afghanistan . he love it and it work great . this be to clip to he gear bag so he always have a light nearby to look for he stuff . +759 Flashlight POS 5 as be always the case , this maglite be sturdy , heavy and produce excellent light . if anyone have every own a maglight they know that they be hard to beat . +967 Flashlight POS 5 mount these in the rear of my Jeep Cherokee to hold my maglight . have do a amazing job for month now . just be gentle when insert and remove the flash light and it will not break like other reviewer +801 Flashlight POS 4 all man like flashlight , perhaps its a carryover from we day as caveman when we always make sure we have fire available . the mag be the equivalent of a muscle car . sure there be smaller , faster and even cheaper flashlight but the mag just work . its totally no-nonsense and have the product recognition value equivalent to Apple Computer . the drawback be many . its big , heavy , the krypton light be not the best and the adjustable beam be rather ragged look but it put out a good amount of light and be tough enough to be drop , use as a self defense weapon , improvise hammer , dog repellent , or crowbar . you can get a xenon bulb for greater light output at the expense of battery life , or a lead upgrade which drop right in . many police force stop use the mag not because it be a bad flashlight but because they be beat suspect to death with they so they be force to use cr123 base minus tactical light . that one tough flashlight . they be not overly expensive , as there be other out there cost 4-5 time as much and frankly I be unsure why they charge such a premium . they be make in the USA so they can be consider a reasonably patriotic purchase . +582 Flashlight POS 5 mag Lite product be the industry standard for a reason . they be american make . they be Union Made . they be the quality that you need to last you a lifetime . I recommend ! +224 Flashlight POS 5 I have be hike and camp for 24 year now , and I have use many , many flashlight . since find the AA Mini mag Lite , however , it be the only one you 'll find in my pack . they be very tough and durable . on a recent trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness , I even use it submerge to look for a fellow camper 's eyeglass that have fall into the lake . while it be not design for underwater use -lrb- be only water resistant -rrb- , the lamp perform flawlessly . while nearly perfect , I will recommend pick up the accessory pack available for the AA Mini mag Lite . the accessory pack include a rubber cover for the lens end that help prevent the lamp from roll and also absorb some impact if drop . it also include a wrist strap with a split ring so you can keep it close at hand -lrb- I usually put the strap around my wrist when I slide into my sleep bag -- if I need to get up quickly during the night , the lamp be always at hand -rrb- . the accessory pack also include three plastic lens -- blue , red , and clear -lrb- the product description list a amber lens in palce of the clear one -rrb- . I have find the red one useful when I want to rummage through a pack when my tentmate have already turn in for the night . it give you illumination that be not as harsh as the non-filtered white light . +53 Flashlight POS 4 use this for a week along with the DEWALT Fluorescent Area Light -lrb- I can charge battery at a neighbor 's . -rrb- it perform well : bright and easily carry with the battery attach . seem stable on the battery , do not knock over easily . I do not have much cause to use the pivot head but I can imagine use where that would be handy . battery life be decent , but for the price it would be nice if it be lead so you do not have to worry about bulb and the battery life would be longer . +568 Flashlight POS 5 as always , mag supersede all flashlight . better this year . have no response to a rma 4 year ago but it be old anyway . it could use some type of cradle , -lrb- position holder , Third Hand -rrb- which I have be recommend to they for year , but who know , maybe they will think about the user again and try it . peace and Merry Christmas . . Don +96 Flashlight NEG 2 essentially this add up to have a $ 60-ish workhorse powerhouse of a battery on the base , with a rather cheap flashlight attachment that be worth maybe $ 5 . I have have this light hang around for a couple of year from a combo set . it actually work well enough , though I do not often need a worklight . we recently have a 4 day power outage and this be great while it last both as a very bright flashlight , and to point at the ceiling to give some nice general non-glare room illumination . it only last about two hour on a charge be the problem . if anything scream out for a lead bulb , this be it , but at this point DeWalt do not even offer that as a separate bulb . they do sell a 12v lead worklight which sound just awesome , but I do not have the 12v system , I have the 18v . with a lead this would never burn out the bulb . this one will last maybe 10-15 hour which be not what you want in a emergency light with no spare . also if you drop this light the bulb filament will probably break , LED 's be much more robust . moreover , with the same brightness it would go probably 8-12 hour on a charge or more . that would be pretty much my essential emergency light . I would buy two or three . though the gooseneck probably look like the better design . what really kill this be that the head ought to swivel so it could point downward while stand upright on the battery base . you could work at a table or workbench with the light pointed at you work . but this only swivel from straight up to horizontal , which be really not all that useful . in short , wait for they to offer the gooseneck with a led , and get two , it will be super . +749 Flashlight POS 4 I have use these light for many year now . as a musician , I find they invaluable backstage to help get cable all hook up in the dark . in fact , I have a blue and red one and I swap the part around . I have since lose one of they and now I have this hybrid red\/blue light : -rrb- Anyhow , after a while , the thread start to get full of aluminum dust and debris and the o-ring need some lubrication -lrb- I have most recently try some chapstick and it seem to work . I have notice newer light have some kind of oily material on they -rrb- . I would like to see they offer a lght use 3v lithium cell technology and a brighter bulb with fewer dark spot . +691 Flashlight POS 4 the switch stop work in my Mini Maglite AA . I buy a replacement switch over the internet and fix it , and then I find out that Mag Instruments would have send I a new one free under the lifetime warranty . too bad . the problem be that the light turn on erratically if at all , and do not focus properly . if you open the top , you 'll see that the bulb be stick into a washer-like receptacle which they call the Upper Insulator Receptacle . it be print `` do not remove . '' if you remove it , by prying it up with you thumbnail or a pocket knife , you 'll see the switch assembly underneath , with a triangular-shaped sheet metal slide contact . remember how the slide contact go , because it be likely to fall out . if you remove the battery , you can take out the lower insulator too . that slide contact be what fail on I . instead of be flat , the radial arm be bent . I think that if I have flatten it out with needle-nosed pliers , that would have fix it , at least for a while . anyway , the `` switch Repair kit '' come with the most idiot-proof detailed illustrated step-by-step instruction that I have ever see for any piece of equipment . they even give you a plastic `` tool '' to insert and remove the switch , if you be the kind of person who have trouble tap a flashlight onto a table without lose part , or you do not have a pencil lie around the house . +245 Flashlight POS 5 perfect for my husband work . he use it when he get a crawl space as a service technician thanks for my mag lite +189 Flashlight POS 5 I buy this for my 2 d cell lead mag Lite and mount it on the side of my driver 's side seat in my '90 Bronco II and it keep it in there real sturdy and be very easy to install . debate on get another one for my passenger 's side . very happy how inexpensive it be as well . thanks again Amazon . +619 Flashlight NEU 3 I recently buy a couple of these to put in we card . but I also have a few of the old AA Maglite flashlight around and decide to upgrade they with the TERRALUX LUXEON EXTREME p-4 tle-5ex upgrade kit simply because I like the way they have be customize with the rear on off button and rubber lens hood . well I be a little surprised that when the new aa lead mag 's arrive I notice that they be considerably larger than the old version , and the light produce be ok , but not great when compare to the TERRALUX LUXEON upgrade . the 3 aaa be a much brighter flashlight but be almost the size of a 3 c cell flashlight that I also convert but in this case I use the maglite 3 d\/c cell lead upgrade . this be a huge improvement over the 3 aa flashlight as you might imagine , and much brighter than any standard maglite . but back to this flashlight . I will keep the two lead aa flashlight I have , since they be nice , and the candle option be pretty impressive . but the Terralux Extreme p4 aa tle-5ex be amazingly bright and I love to use the rear button upgrade -lrb- that really make this a great flashlight -rrb- plus the other upgrade I have buy for my old AA Mini Mags . I can not tell you how much more light the tle-5ex upgrade be over a new AA LED Maglite , but it have to be at least 100 time better , no kidding . SO rather than buy a new AA Maglite LED , I would suggest that you just upgrade you current flashlight with the tle-5ex , and I honestly believe you will be much happier go this route . this upgrade retain the focus ability of the minus mag , and cost less than buy one of the new Mini-Mag AA flashlight . on the other hand the new minus mag be a very nice flashlight , and the over all construction be better than the old incandescent mini-mag . +714 Flashlight POS 5 handy clip to mount a d size mag-light . I use they in the side saddle of my truck and it keep the flashlight handy ! +381 Flashlight NEU 3 I agree with everything that the other reviewer said-this be a very well build flashlight , a great value , and able to shrug off outrageous abuse . so why have I only give it three star ? in my opinion , such a hefty light should be considerably brighter . the 2-d cell version be of moderate brightness at best and the larger version be not much better . +730 Flashlight POS 5 I keep one of these flashlight in both of my vehicle . they provide a lot of light from a fairly small package . buy the `` c '' battery version allow you all of the benefit of a maglight - brightness , durability , etc. but its light weight make it less cumbersome to carry . you will not find a better flashlight that this . +405 Flashlight POS 5 I enjoy play hide-and-seek with my 6-month old son out in the wood . sometimes though , he hide so well I can not find he , even when it get dark . ever since I get this flashlight , it take I hour , not day to find he . this flashlight have help I create a bonding father-son relationship . +74 Flashlight POS 5 Use these ! just when you need it the light be go . clip it and you will always know where it be . +328 Flashlight NEU 3 the lighting be not as bright as I think . Inova flashlight be smaller and brighter . the case however be pretty strong and long lasting . so yeah I guess its a pretty good deal consider its price . +727 Flashlight POS 4 this flashlight be like all other mag 's . it have a nice bright bulb that can be adjust to wide angle or focus on a object . come with the battery and a extra bulb . so far I like use it . +868 Flashlight POS 5 Great little flashlight . good weight to it . fit in glove compartment , tool box , kitchen drawer . purchase one for everyone in my family . they be , `` that be nice '' , until they need some light . all be very happy they have it . +755 Flashlight NEG 1 a mag be to a flashlight what a hudson be to a car -- a great product in its time , but not something you would go out and buy today if you want to take advantage of what new technology have to offer . instead , take a look at some of the new led base flashlight , or the xenon\/led combo light make by streamlight -lrb- call `` TwinTask '' -rrb- . for most purpose you will get vastly increase battery life and a much better white flood light -lrb- while use the LED 's -rrb- and and with the TwinTasks still have the option of a high grade incandescent light for the time when you need more `` throw '' . +15 Flashlight POS 5 buy as Christmas gift for my brother so I can not attest to the performance , but I do not expect any problem . arrive in a timely manner and in good shape . good look item . +312 Flashlight POS 5 we buy this flashlight for we boss , and he love it . it have amazing range , and a very impressive beam . I truly wish I have get one for Christmas myself . excellent quality , and well think out . Bravo ! +761 Flashlight POS 5 I have have several maglite in the past and this one be by far the best . its size make it heavy for some . its the brightest one i have own . i be thinking of get a second one just becasue i like it so much . i advise to anyoen that camp and hike to get thsus one or a smaller one . +66 Flashlight POS 5 Maglite have make some welcome update in they minus flashlight . this be a great led flashlight for $ 18 include the battery . very bright for the price and maglite 's great build . +576 Flashlight POS 5 I use these clip to make a license plate mount that attach to my winch 's roller fair lead . these clip fit perfectly and make it easy to pop the license plate on and off . only downside I would say be that they be plastic ! otherwise they be a great product over all ! +822 Flashlight POS 5 this be one product -lrb- apart from a swiss Army knife -rrb- that will never fail you . go ahead and buy it . +970 Flashlight POS 5 Maglite flashlight battery replacement be the correct battery and I be very satisfied with the price and shipment . +171 Flashlight POS 5 maglite of course always great , but now with this newer version it apparently have different mode . after look a few place and not see how you change the mode I notice a few post of people say how it change mode after be hit or nudge . it 'll do that only if the battery spring be not put enough tension on the battery . switching mode be very easy actually , all you have get to do be turn it on and off and on in a somewhat quick succession . BAM , it be on full bright then you twist it off then twist it right back on , viola you just go to dim . do that again and again you will get blinking and then the SOS blink . after that it 'll go back to bright , just in a sequence of be on\/off . +706 Flashlight POS 5 I have one of these flashlight for myself until someone that be live in my house steal it from I so I guess you can say they be very well like if someone steal it . Merry Christmas & happy new year to all !!! +374 Flashlight POS 5 now I see why police carry light like these . I think one could use it for a club as well . it be very sturdy . the light be MUCH brighter than I think it would be . it be brighter than ANY standard 2 d cell flashlight , I be sure ! +551 Flashlight POS 5 Great solid feel to it , even when screw on the end cap for the battery . the beam adjustment be easy and precise . it be a maglite ... enough say . +84 Flashlight POS 5 the previous reviewer say that these be the same as Sears - they be not ! the Sears one be make by Dorcy and do not have the same shock tolerance as the dewalt bulb . I know - I be sucker into the Sears bulb and kill all of they -lrb- 4 -rrb- where I normally can go a long time with the Dewalt . they regularly tolerate shock from the flashlight tipping . the sear one blow everytime ! maybe I get a bad batch , but Ill never buy the Sears one again ! +871 Flashlight POS 5 dont waste you money on those new lead light ... nothing beat a maglite ... you cant kill em . plus it can be tool in a pinch +600 Flashlight POS 5 this be a great flashlight ! the price from Amazon be half of what snap on tool charge . if you be older or have trouble see in dark place , this be the flashlight for you . one word of caution -- do not drop when hot !! you will be replace the bulb . +764 Flashlight POS 5 great flashlight , extreamly durable , the lumination be wonderful . overall great flashlight . +803 Flashlight POS 5 use these to mount my 3-d cell maglite in my vehicle . I have the light mount vertically and these do a great job of hold it securely . you can pull the light out from the top or straight out , no problem . +844 Flashlight POS 4 when you be buy a replacement bulb for you Ryobi lignt , buy high quality ... dewalt or eq . I have the factory bulb in my heavily used light for 5 year , then it break . the first replacement I buy -lrb- the cheap one -rrb- last a month before it break . I suspect these will go longer . +282 Flashlight NEU 3 maglite use to be the standard for good flashlite . not anymore . this one have poor illuminationtion and use battery like there be no tommorrow +991 Flashlight NEG 1 light wont stay on . after filing and sand all contact area it improve a little . I still have to bang it to stay on . very disapointed . flashlight from a dollar store be better . +348 Flashlight POS 4 this be a must have item if you need to carry you maglite with you while you be work . the only down side to its design be the weight of the 6d cell maglite will eventually cause the snap hold the together to fail . it will take a lot of abuse before it do fail and it sure beat hold the flashlite all night long . +653 Flashlight POS 5 I own two , and buy one for a relative . I use for build electronics and computer , and when DJ ` ing in club that be pitch dark , so I can sift through vinyl , etc. . very cool light . +897 Flashlight POS 4 this flashlight be great it last forever ! sturdy and bright , it also doesnt suck the life out of battery like many do . it take 2 double a battery . i have a red , light blue , purple and a black one and they have be amazing to have when camping , around the house and in the car . small and lightweight yet extremely durable . make out of metal that doesnt rust and the color be beautiful , i hope you enjoy +855 Flashlight NEG 1 once upon a time these be consider top of the line , mostly by law enforment that actually prize these light because they be sturdy and they could bash people over the head with they . they be prize more for they club like appearance than the actual crappy beam that come out of they . over the year I have discover numerous company that actually try to make a better light , Surefire , Streamlight , Pelican , and Arc , to name a few . these newer light use newer technology , new xneon bulb and no bulb in the case of the new lead base light . it be too bad that maglite have be leave in the stoneage of lighting product and now from a competitive standpoint must use other means of compete . from recent observation mag have choose to try to simply place lawsuit against they competitor to try to destroy these new line company out of existence . sorry for the rant folk but no discussion of mag can be do without mention they extremely distasteful business practice . so I say to mag , spend you money on research and development , improve you now pitiful light and let you product be you ultimate statement of company direction . fire you vast team of legal expert who continue to be a blight on the civilized world and welcome competition which you apparently find so repugnant . so for anyone who bother to read this , frequent the company I mention above for superior lighting product and boldly step into the 21st century of lighting and see how delightful it can be . the bonus be you can still use you old maglite as club and weapon which they be design to be . +268 Flashlight POS 5 purchase this light as a extra to work where there be dim lighting . use this item several time since purchase , +518 Flashlight POS 4 I say in the past I say it have no flaws-i be wrong . the scrath poof plastic sheild be verrrrrry vurnerable . it do not seem to affect it , but shine it at something 4-5 inch away and you 'll see what I mean . +989 Flashlight NEG 2 I would have give this product 4 or 5 star until I read a certain review on this site . I be very happy with the performance of my dw904 12-volt until it go dead on I a week ago . just as this reviewer I speak of say , `` oh I 'll just replace the bulb '' , but that do not do it . think that maybe the switch go bad I take the light apart and bypass the switch but still no light . I promptly throw it in the trash in disgust because I really have not use it that much and I never abuse it . even so I plan on buy another dw904 think that mine must have have a defect , but now after read that another person have have the same problem with he , forget it . I 'll probably order a Milwaukee flashlight for I have recently purchase they cordless 14.4 to replace the noisy 12 volt Dewalt I have . -lrb- the one that the flashlight come with -rrb- +517 Flashlight NEU 3 do not get I wrong , I use a MiniMag for year , but then I be give a Pelican Versabrite . while the original Versabrite be not as bright as the MiniMag -lrb- and no focus -rrb- , it have a tiltable head and build in clip to mount to a hat brim or shirt pocket - useful feature when you have to inspect thing and take note at night , or otherwise need light and need both hand free . the Versabrite II end the controversy . it be brighter , no matter how the the MiniMag be focus . by the way , for a keyring light , try one of the coin-sized led light like the Photon Microlight . they be amazing . +300 Flashlight POS 4 for my use this work great . so far I have not have any issue get the light it in or out , it do hit the on button sometimes and make the light flash when you pull it out . I have not break it in yet , and the button to close it be very tight , it take a really firm tug to open it , I assume it will eventually get easier , if not too easy to open . if you pack a flashlight every day you might want one deign for that , but if you like I and just pack it on you person occasionally -lrb- camp trip , hunting , fishing ... -rrb- this work fine . +747 Flashlight POS 5 I have a couple mag and I think this be one of the best flashlight ever ! it be bright , it be light , and nicly size . a must have for someone who needs\/wants a flashlight . +476 Flashlight POS 5 this be the recommend bulb for the 36V Dewalt flashlight as well , I have have mine in there for about 6month with no issue . +288 Flashlight POS 5 small , compact , yet bright and sturdy . ca not really say anymore since the quality speak for itself . I buy this for my girlfriend who put it in she car for emergency . can not trust anything else ! +781 Flashlight POS 5 this be a very bright light , much brighter than the older incandescent Mini Maglite and very much brighter than a single-led flashlight I have from Brinkmann and a 9-led light from Harbor Freight Tools . the illumination pattern be also much smoother , and I like that you can adjust it by rotate the head of the flashlight -lrb- although the range of adjustment be fairly limited compare to the incandescent version -rrb- . I also like the cool white color of the illumination . it be advertise as be a 3 watt lead , so be a engineer , I have to measure it . it draw 370ma of current at 3 volt , so that be more like 1 watt of actual power dissipation . I guess they rate it compare to the amount of light that would be put out by a 3 watt incandescent bulb . by the way , my old incandescent bulb version of the same Mini Maglite draw 300mA of current , so do not expect more battery life from the lead version . my Brinkmann and Harbor Freight Tools flashlight draw around 50-60ma , so they battery last a lot longer at the expense of much less illumination . if you be concern about go through battery , you can use nimh rechargeable battery . overall I be very impressed with this little light . it be a bit longer than the incandescent version but I have not find that to be a problem . update 1\/11\/09 : as expect , my first set of battery last about 8 hour . there be no warning when they go . the light just suddenly go out . it might go off and on several time as the battery voltage hover around the minimum necessary to keep it light . at first I think there be a loose connection . I be out hike on a cold night when this happen , and I be able to get another 20 minute of life by warm the flashlight inside my pocket for a few minute . I still stick by my 5-star rating as you get a much brighter light with battery that still last as long as in the older incandescent version of this flashlight . +197 Flashlight POS 4 I purchase this holder for my maglite 4d lead , it be a very cool holder . the only problem that I have be that my maglite will pop-out of the holder when I be run . other than that it be very easy to use , it be easy to put you flashlight into the holder and it be also easy to take it out . the button snap button make the holder a lot more reliable . I recommend this holder . +731 Flashlight POS 5 this be a really great little flashlight . I buy it to keep in a computer repair kit and it be be a great help . not much more I can really say about it - I have always love Mag Lites ; in my experience they work for age without any problem . +955 Flashlight POS 5 this the second replacement battery pack I have purchase . what set this one apart be the price . most place want $ 40 , or more , for this battery pack . I still feel that a $ 10 to $ 15 price range would be fair . but , pay half price do make I feel better . beware beware beware I do not use the flashlight everyday , so when I try it for the second time , just past the thirty day return period , I find that it be defective . guess what nobody would warranty it ! +367 Flashlight NEU 3 I accidently purchase this item think it be the lead version . once I receive and realize my mistake I still have some use for it so I use it . the function and light output be impressive . the beam adjustment be impressive for the price I pay . still I could not stand be stick in prehistoric time without LED , no offense Thomas Edison , so I start look for a lead replacement when I stumble upon the `` terralux tle-5ex ministar2 Extreme lead upgrade ' . sure it be practically and actually a little pricier than just buy the LED Mini mag but to I it be a matter of pride and I enjoy reuse old stuff specially if it can be retrofit . a few day later I have a new state of the art Mini Mag . the difference be night and day , no pun intend . I notice the lead minus mag do have a slight different look to it , some would say more futuristic but the upgrade really enhance the light and energy efficiency of the classic Mini mag . to top it all off I find my old minus mag under the couch so guess what I do , yeah I order another upgrade kit so yeah I have two awesome minus mag now . the short of it be that this be a great little flash light for the price but I highly recommend you buy the led function which will make up for the premium in battery savings alone . great durable build and I with my upgrade kit I be happy as can be . +259 Flashlight POS 5 I have be use my rechargable mag light with the ni-cad battery pack for over five year . it charge when I be not use the light and when I pick it up to use the light these battery really hold a charge . I take it on trip without even bring the charger . it be one of my favorite tool . the battery do not leak and it be ZERO trouble . I recommend this light and battery pack for everyone . portable , rugged , dependable and very useful . +355 Flashlight POS 5 great power , you can adjust the setting , spotlight focus like a laser beam . beautiful , simple yet elegant design . a true classic at a very reasonable price -lrb- smaller surefire brand flashlight make in China cost double the price -rrb- . you can still find a quality product make in the USA ! very durable , engineer well , big enough where you could use in emergency self defense situation . +55 Flashlight POS 5 I have have this for about five month now and so far its hold up good . I test it with the 2d maglite and the 4d maglite and there be never any problem the snap button have never get loose . but when i do receive my package the packaging for it be really greasy . +772 Flashlight NEU 3 what can I say ? I buy this item and install it into the light and it work . satisfy as of today . +744 Flashlight NEU 3 Maglite be a good flashlight for the price . but what I want more be , 1 . smaller & lighter 2 . much more brighter & focus beam 3 . lead instead of halogen\/xenon for longer life . only after see `` wolf-eye pilot whale 1000 luman '' , I realize that led can be so brighter . there be a lead upgrade option available for magcharger by terralux tle-300mr ministar30mr 600 Lumens LED upgrade for Mag Charger Rechargeble Flashlight see it in action video -lrb- ... -rrb- also all Magcharger model be have same luman , only difference be the ac\/dc\/europe charger , spend some time search that . also check Stream light 76811 polystinger d lead flashlight with 120-volt ac , black top bright led flashlight be also available from these brand -lrb- some of they available in Amazon -rrb- wolf-eye ultrafire eagletec fenix . Hope these help someone try to find a brighter flashlight +70 Flashlight POS 4 I see Maglite Mini Mags for around $ 10 all of the time . they be handy little flashlight . this model be the older incandecent bulb type flashlight . they be ok , but if you have ever experience a lead flashlight , it hard to be happy with the old style bulb . I be able to pick up my blue Mini mag for $ 7.50 , shipping include . I add a terralux tle-20 lead upgrade for $ 13 . so I now have $ 20 into it . now it have a nice bright white light , about 28 lumen , and the battery life be extend by six time . I figure over time the Terralux lead upgrade will pay for itself in save on battery . if I be look for a new Mini mag , I would probably just buy the newer lead version of the flashlight . I see they on sale for around $ 20 . in my opinion the older incandecent Mini Mags benefit greatly from the led upgrade , thus I only give it 4 star . but I be very happy with my upgrade version , and would recommend the upgrade if you already own a older Mini mag . it be useful when I get up in the middle of the night , and wander around the house . I still have my bigger 4 d cell maglite with a lead upgrade for outside duty , it be much brighter and have a much longer throw . but the Mini mag be just fine for inside the house , and any close range task . I just love the blue anodized color of my Maglite Mini mag flashlight . +203 Flashlight POS 5 light be what I expect . ship quickly at a very good price . be a lot better price than I find at any of the local store . very satisfy . +666 Flashlight NEG 1 say it be a lead in spec . it be a xenon bulb . not happy about this . I specifically order it because it be lead . I already open it which you can not do without wreck the packaging so I be out of luck . +390 Flashlight POS 5 I be a deputy sheriff and this be the flashlight that be issue to I . I like it so much , I buy two more for the house and car . it be the definitive flashlight that balance cost\/function . I highly recommend it . +417 Flashlight POS 5 this be a great flashlight vary bright plus it be rechargeable . this be the last flashlight you ever need . +623 Flashlight POS 5 I have both my 12v and 18v flashlight bulb go out quickly on my m series Milw . flashlight . the review all state that the replacement bulb go out quickly as well . I just recieve these bulb and try they out ; the first 10 minute on a freshly charge battery I smell plastic , and after 1 hour and five minute I find lens too hot to touch -lrb- probably before that time as well -rrb- . I only check it twice as I be also watch a film . I find the reflector to be too hot to touch , and the little paper ring between bulb body and reflector come unglued . bulb spring be hot but not too much . no scorch or melt plastic . incidentally , the beam blind I when I look directly into it . I even bang the flashlight around a bit and do not lose the bulb . this puppy be go back into the van and back to work . I may replace the paper ring with a couple of neophrene washer to isolate the bulb\/reflector , and I will also definately drill a couple of hole in the botton body to facilitate convection out of the side vent hole , cool the back of the reflector . as I be a plumber , I 'll not drill hole in the top for water to get in , of course . this test be with flashlight sit vertically on bottom of battery with lens set to shine horizantally\/90 degree ; usual work position for I . April ... I be back with great news . these bulb work just great , with much use , no heat problem , etc. . I drop my flashlight 5ft from a ladder and it land on its side ; it land hard on concrete and I be concern I have crack the battery casing . no crack , bulb work fine and still do . +433 Flashlight POS 5 this be my first maglite and I be very happy with it . even after know the length of this flashlight , I be still surprise by how long it be when I receive it . build quality be top notch , just as I be expect from a brand like Maglite . if you be after a more practical-size flashlight this be definitely not the one for you . however , highly recommend if you want the biggest and baddest flashlight around . +213 Flashlight NEG 2 I still do not understand how Maglite can make such great flashlight , and yet make a horrible single cell key chain flashlight . I have use maglite product for year . they be incredible sturdy , and yet beautiful to behold ! I have try to tell they , but they do not seem to listen , or care . I keep buy they , think they 'll get better , but they do not . like other have say , they be not very bright and they use power rapidly . and they flicker . I really do want a small flashlight for door lock and the like , but this definitely not it . DO BETTER , MAGLITE ! +6 Flashlight NEG 2 I expect a lot from a maglite . this one be very underwhelming . I think my two biggest problem be 1 -rrb- the HUGE hole in the light beam in the center , and 2 -rrb- the method of turn the light on and off . first the hole in the center of the beam be very large . as in , you have to hold the flashlight off center to see anything . it be literally a ring of light , not a disc . I end up focus the side of the ring on what I be look at , and in turn , use about 10 % of the light create . other small led flashlight just perform much better . on to the method of engage the light : to turn it on , it have the very old method of turn the head , in order to screw down to the battery . this be innovative in the 70 and be extremely out-dated . none of the other , full-sized maglite use this , they have a very handy button to turn it on and off . the flashlight that I replace this one with use a button on the base , and it work great ! this one turn on while in you pocket and drain the battery . speak of the battery , how can a lead burn through battery so fast ? in a single word , this flashlight be simply `` underwhelming '' . +735 Flashlight POS 5 this flashlight be well make , very sturdy , and very durable . it be a much better product than the cheap plastic flashlight you can get for $ 1 a piece that break two week after you buy they . I purchase this mag when it be on sale , and now wish I have buy a few more . +641 Flashlight POS 5 my parent give I one of these -lrb- stamp with the Boeing logo-must have be a freebie -rrb- when I move out . not so much for the giant amount of light it emit make it good for roll black-out . rather , they give I one so that I might be able to quickly subdue any intruder . zombie , rapist , thug , and thief , beware ! the heavy over a foot long weapon would stop anything in it be track . thankfully I have not have to use it as a deadly weapon . it be serve I well through many a blackout , and I imagine would make I a freeze-tag champion if my neighbor be more fun . +117 Flashlight POS 4 maglite have never be fabulous flashlight . this have not change . what you get here be good value at $ 16 . mag give you a modest size package that take a very common cell size -lrb- aax2 -rrb- . be metal thus reasonably durable and water resistant . have a fairly good led in the current generation maglite , a Luxeon rebel -lrb- last generation maglite have a terrible led -rrb- . the Luxeon rebel be old technology , and not up to the standard of a modern cree in efficiency or output . the LED 's output be good for what it be , and a nice neutral white with a usable beam . the mode be a nice touch : full\/half\/strobe \/ so . all of these production decision be fine in a light at this price . the reason this product lose a star be the lame plastic lens . I have be through many round of MagLites over the year , they tend to stand up to abuse well , but the lens get scratch , pit , and dirty beyond cleaning or repair . it then must be replace , which be a hassle . a better -lrb- read more durable and scratch resistant -rrb- lens would make this a five star product . I end up purchase a nice glass ar coated lens for my mini-mag , and its service life have extend considerably . I love the mini-mag as a backup light for its cost effective illumination , and will continue to use it with custom lens . +372 Flashlight POS 5 my last Maglite battery finally croak after about seven + year of usage . so after see the price of these item at a local retailer , I look online and find this item at substantial savings . so far so good , my ancient streamlight sl-20 have no idea there be yet another Maglite battery within it . after work in the Police Equipment business for decade , I determine from we repair department -lrb- I -rrb- , that Maglite battery outlast all other and be actually quite competitively price with the cheaper brand of knock-off battery on the market . it have be my experience that the Maglite battery can take slightly more abuse from fumble finger operator . +770 Flashlight POS 4 this be my third or fourth 6 cell maglite . they be a incredible product . the first thing that I do when I purchase a new vehicle -lrb- usually a pickup or suv -rrb- be buy a MAGLITE , a good sturdy pocket knife , and a hydraulic jack for the vehicle . basic equipment not include at the factory ! I usually keep a couple maglite around the house for emergency too . this one be for the house ... until I pick up my new vehicle ! +271 Flashlight POS 5 I originally buy the lead model of this flashlight thinking I can mod that use a terralux lead mod , but that model have the wrong type of bulb socket . the regular non-led be the one of buy for the TerraLux mod . and it be very bright as soon as I pull out the regular bulb and install the terralux ministar2 tle-5ex mod . the only portable flashlight I need to carry around with I now . +212 Flashlight POS 5 great light and deterent . late night walk to the bathroom while camping will be less nerve rack . +567 Flashlight POS 5 what else can I add to the grow great review for this product ? all I can say be that this be one of the best flash light I have ever use . I like it so much that I buy two of these : one for work and one for my car . i work the night shift . I use the work one often . it be bright and very solid . the size be just about right . it be not too big like its larger brother , but just big enough to feel secure while hold it . a great value ! if you be look to buy a flashlight , look no further . this be the perfect one for the home consumer . +679 Flashlight POS 5 not much too say , but I can even see who be fly up in the sky at night . very good flashlight . +856 Flashlight NEG 1 3 week ago , I contact Maglite for a replacement switch for my 4-d flashlight , in which the switch fail . the customer service rep ask I for my serial number , which I give she and she assure I that I could get a replacement switch . I give she my name and address and she say that a shipment have just go out , and it would be in the next shipment . that be fine with I . day turn into week . still no part . more day go by . still no part in the mail . hmmmm . be this how long time customer be treat ? I previous own a variety of they flashlight , from a AAA Solitaire to a 5-d flashlight , at least 5 in total . my dad have purchase in the neighborhood of 15 or more himself , start in about '86 when someone else turn he onto Maglites . customer support be as important to I as the product itself . have customer support become a casualty of a tough economy ? this long-time customer will have to look at alternative the next time he be buy a flashlight . +797 Flashlight POS 5 finally ! a American make lead flashlight ! this be a great model with several feature available only for the lead model . very bright ! build solid and have the consistent reliabilty of MagLite . tremendous product ! +738 Flashlight POS 5 if you want a super heavy duty flashlight that can also be use for self defense then this flashlight be for you ! +884 Flashlight POS 5 I have use MagLite flashlight of various size for 15 year and always find they to be very well-made , durable and dependable . I also have a 5 watt surefire flashlight and a 1 watt lead flashlight that be similar in design to the Mini-Maglite . I have also use a MiniMaglite lead upgrade module -lrb- not make by maglite -rrb- - which do not perform to my expectation . I recently purchase the 3 watt lead mini-maglite and be very impressed with it . it be very bright - at least 3x as bright as the 1 watt minimag clone that I have . it be not as bright as my 5 watt surefire tactical flashlight , but I would not want it to be . 3 watt be great for a general purpose flashlight . in short , the Mini-Maglite LED have exceed my expectation . the only negative that I have be that it take so long for MagLite to make they led flashlight available . other led flashlight have be available for several year and it be begin to look like MagLite be not go to develop any led product - I be glad they do because this be a great little flashlight . +710 Flashlight POS 5 there be two kind of flashlight : the run-o-the-mill commodity number and the mag light . mag be the `` snap on '' tool of the flashlight world ; build without compromise to become a sort of work art . they resemble a good quality camera or telescope in they construction . the four d-cell mag be the Caddy of they all . these be incredibly bright -lrb- you 'll regret look into the business end of one -rrb- . four d-cell capacity translate into very long service on a change of battery . and if you ever find yourself in a dark alley -lrb- which will not be that dark if you lug this sucker in with you -rrb- , the sheer size of this flashlight will be a comfort - it be like a nightstick in length and heft . like all the larger mag , they can store a extra bulb in the cap -lrb- include -rrb- so you be never catch unprepared . if you be the sort that be always lose flashlight , spring for a mag - you 'll like it so much that you 'll surely keep track of it . +473 Flashlight POS 5 these hold extremely tight . I hang flashlight vertically and only use one clip per flashlight . it be plenty secure . +314 Flashlight NEG 1 I can not rate this item because I do not get my package ! I order it 18 day ago and it do have tracking info for the first few day . now it be track info be unavailable and I have no clue where it be ! now thanks to Amazon not know where my product be , I be now very upset ! I would be CAREFUL ORDERING THIS ITEM you MAY NOT get it !! +699 Flashlight POS 5 my husband , be at wit end in try to track down bulb for he craftsman work light . Sears do not have they in stock , so I suggest go on line to Amazon . I find the bulb he need and they be much better than the one sell by Sears . he be very pleased with the DEWALT bulb and the quick service from Amazon . +898 Flashlight POS 5 seem more powerful than the original flashlight that come as a pkg with the drill . nothing like have the pivot head ! +211 Flashlight POS 5 I love this flashlight , I have two . it work great , be very bright and convenient to use . +435 Flashlight POS 4 maglite be the flashlight of choice for I for about a decade . they be well-made and generally brighter than what I have be use to . I buy this particular flash three year ago -lrb- this be through Amazon although the header do not verify this -rrb- , and I use it quite a bit for two year . it see substantial duty assist I in walk dark sidewalk for a couple of mile to church and back . I often use it to warn off approach vehicle when the unshoveled snow on sidewalk force I to walk in the street at night . it acquit itself well enough with these task , but I notice that it be increasingly burdensome to use this flash . it be very heavy , to the point that this alone will be a major consideration for many senior citizen as well as many woman . it do not exactly slip into a jacket pocket , so I find myself leave it behind in church pew and after church dinner . and the battery become costly after awhile . a year ago , I purchase Nebo Redlines , and these have become my new flashlight of choice . they be also well-made and bright , but they be also much lighter , have greater functionality with they various setting , and be much easier and convenient for use by those of we who be age . maglite be once the standard , and they be a very good standard at the time . technology and the market have move on , however . three year ago , I would have give this five star . now I can only grant it three to four star . this seem pretty sacrilegious . still , if you do not need a weaponize flashlight , you be better off turn to the new generation of flashlight . +943 Flashlight NEU 3 due to its rigid aluminum construction any form of shock absorb by the light , generally from a fall at hip level or even a roll out of the truck door , will kill the bulb . I have be tell the lead version of this light be a better option as the LED 's be more durable . personally after own a few of these I find they to be over rate . they be to heavy , the beam be very weak when its widen and very small and bright when focus . I find there be no good in between . in my opinion you can get just as good performance with a smaller 2d mag light of even the aa version . +604 Flashlight POS 5 this be not the first mag light that I have purchase . they continue to make a sturdy and convenient to use product . it be just the thing to keep at my bedside . +858 Flashlight POS 5 I work in a place that use 4 of these light 24\/7 . the light be switch on and off hundred of time per week , drop , and generally abused . in the five year I work there , we never have to buy a replacement . occassionally a switch would die , but Mag Instrument repair that free . ca not be beat ! +185 Flashlight POS 5 I have use this flashlight in Haiti , in the high humidity and extreme dust . it hold up beautifully and I always leave mine behind for friend to use . I now use maglite 4 and 6 d cell flashlight at home and in the car . they be easy to grip , easy to focus and solid . plus they be MADE in the USA . something I have recently come to pay attention to once again . when I be a kid , we always look for the union label and make in the USA marking and somehow slip away from pay attention to that distinction . this be a well make and hardwork solid tool well deserving of the accolade it receive . +815 Flashlight POS 5 the mag rechargable flashlight be a very good product , very bright and light weight .

I can always count on it work and use it all the time . +685 Flashlight POS 5 I love this mini maglite . I be think of the lead version but decide to get this one instead . you probably can not go wrong with either of the two but I like the standard bulb . plus I have a great set of rechargeable aa battery so I be not too worried about its battery use . its just large enough to have a good feel to it but not so big that it can not be easily carry in a pocket or on a belt . my father a auto mechanic and this be he favorite small flashlight for he job . +165 Flashlight NEU 3 this replace the original bulb perfectly .

I do not think in a emergency everybody can have both hand to turn this flash on . when you get a focused beam then the head can pop off to become a candle light . I do not like this idea . high price , low run time . different color get different price . ridiculous ! I want to use it to to light up the laser marked chip . it do the job poorly even my $ 1 cheap flash from Fry 's can light up the laser mark for I to read . I be really disappointed and do not know how to deal with it .

I have no idea how deep the water be as I watch the light sink into the inky black depths for almost 20 seconds . but , that be as `` water resistant '' as I will ever need . the `` 2d '' size be the ideal size for store in you glove box , or in the gadget drawer of you kitchen or on you workbench . they be great for all size of hand , and tough enough to withstand accidental drop , bang and kick . and the switch in particular be sturdy enough to resist continuous , repetitive on\/off testing by curious youngster . they be perfect in any emergency situation ; such as the California rolling blackout , or a flat tire on the side of the freeway . I keep one in every car I own and I give they to my child to keep in they car also . plus there be several in strategic place around my house and garage . nothing else I have ever own , except maybe my dog , have be so reliable or dependable -lrb- I do not own my very reliable and very dependable wife -rrb- . and when it come to present , and those hard to buy for people on you list . no one , on any occasion , will ever be disappoint when they open a MAGLITE flashlight . and as a giver ; neither will you . +432 Flashlight POS 5 I have three of these flashlight and they be fantastic . I keep one in the garage -lrb- see accessory section for mount bracket -rrb- , one on the fireplace mantle , and one in my car . they all work perfectly , project a bright , adjustable beam , and feel great in you hand . not only do it work in normal condition , but the gasket and button do a great job keep water out - I live in the Pacific Northwest and use it in the rain frequently with no problem . this be the same model that many of we local law enforcement type use day-in \/ day-out . I would image that may a miscreant have receive a `` bop '' on the head with one of these baby and will think twice before resume they layabout way . get one of these with three fresh Duracell 's and you be set . this flashlight will last you a lifetime ! +807 Flashlight POS 5 I buy this to help walk the dog late at night . it give the perfect amount of light to see where you be go , but not enough for the neighbor to call the cop . it be lightweight , which be good when struggle with a playful puppy . overall , this flashlight make my life easier as I be no longer walk into thorn bush . +713 Flashlight POS 5 buy this light along with they fluorescent lamp -lrb- which die after 2 month -rrb- . this light work as expect . very happy with it . +264 Flashlight POS 4 this be a quality product , I have be in possesion of a maglite for only a couple of week but within that time it have display great durability be run over twice by a tractor and be regularly drop . it also come in handy for light thing up apparently . +742 Flashlight POS 5 I retire my maglite 3d a long time ago for my Streamlight . when my life be on the line , I can not afford to have a dim , yellow beam with dark spot . but for those situation where a tactical light be just overkill , this little baby still find it be way into my tool box . I actually still keep several of these around . they have all be modify with terralux tail Cap switch . one with a red lamp in the glove box so that I do not ruin my night vision or have that bright glare in the windshield . another convert with a 140 luman lead that I keep around for peek under the hood . no homeowner should be without a ultraviolet lamp for check he sheet for semen when he return from work . wife lie . forensic do not . with a little imagination , a roll of duct tape , some bail wire , a pack of zip tie , and some double side mount adhesive ; there be no tell what you could do . I can not count the number of time I have use my Mini-Maglite , a swiss Army Knife , a paperclip , and a piece of gum to get I out of a jam . terralux tle-5uv ministar2 Ultraviolet Replacement Bulb for 2 aa Mini Maglite Flashlight +350 Flashlight POS 5 I agree with other review that these clip be tight . that be nice for hold the light , but I also agree that if you alignment be off too much it lead to premature failure . once again it would cost they nothing to include a small template strip of paper . little fold mark for 2d , 3d , 4d , 6d , whatever , would make it universal for any d maglite . this be a theme with I and my review - stupid thing like this cause product failure and bad review . maybe that be what they want to sell more bracket ? either way I order more set . I be not go to let they stop me from send they my money : p +456 Flashlight POS 5 must have have a bad production run of these . the first two have a defective snap . very please with the third one . the snap work properly . it keep my maglite ready and wait for when I need light . +924 Flashlight POS 4 I purchase this flashlight to use on detail when I be patrolling as part of a Citizens Watch program . it be not bright enough to help with tripping and focus in on detail . however , it be fine for a purse and backup flashlight . the belt thing be cool-just girl do not usually wear belt . +792 Flashlight POS 5 I buy this 6-cell maglite for my boyfriend as a gift . he now keep it next to he all day . this be the brightest and ` badest ' light out there . we also own two 4-cell maglite , but this be by far the best value . I recommend it to anyone for the indoors or outdoor activity . +931 Flashlight NEG 2 Thats how this work . you rotate the top portion around and the brightness and focal length increase . but then it come off at the end . I read this about this product before , but its kind of annoy when you want to use this in a hurry and it become loose . would have prefer a switch . its quite compact and slip easily into you pocket . would buy again from Maglite , but not the same design . Advice : look for something else , but make sure it doesnt operate the same way as this device . +468 Flashlight POS 4 this be a nice little pocket flashlight with the Maglite quality you would expect . also come with a nylon holster that you can loop onto you belt . but ... - lack a one-button on\/off switch . you need to twist the head to turn on\/off and re-adjust the beam spread each time you use . - do not come with a lanyard -lrb- but do have a mount hole on the butt end -rrb- . - not as bright as the new led flashlight . bottom line : if you be a traditionalist , you 'll like this item . otherwise , get a compact led aluminum case flashlight make in China . you can get a way better perform 21-led unit of equal quality for half the price . +971 Flashlight POS 5 I be buy this as a replacement for the one I have . the new light be a better light than the one I have . my battery fit in this light better . the quality be great . if you need a long lasting and great quality light buy this one .

I have the drill and 2 battery plus the charger . the light help when work outdoor and in dark place . this light be very bright and the battery last a long time with out have to be recharge . need light this be it . +495 Flashlight POS 5 to start , I be a tradesman who have to carry he lifeline on he belt . not only on the job , but I be also the unnofficial handyman of this apartment complex . every time I even move to take my workbelt off , it seem to be a signal for a neighbor to bang on the wall say something be on fire or will not open all the way . and the Mini mag be the universal flashlight . it be sell everywhere , include this fine site and even family store , and despite its legendary quality and design , be at the most ten dollar with include holster . I prefer the classic aa design , where CA not you find aa ? I have use one of these on my belt for about four year . it be a excellent tool , and I have never have one wear out on I . the bulb , however , be the Achilles heel . the rest of the flashlight be military , police and trade quality , for civilian price . but these dang bulb go orange after a couple week and last a couple month of casual use . I be consider shell out forty buck for a small led , just to save the money on bulb . then , walk through a sport outlet , I pass the flashlight section . and next to the usual Mini mag with holster , which I own close to six of , be a Nite ize accessory design for this same flashlight . a lead bulb . now , I have see these online for about twenty to thirty buck , and this be a ten dollar flashlight ! but this one just sit around on a shelf be eight buck , about a buck less than the flashlight 's shelf price . what the heck , I get one . to quote another review , my trusty old mag be now a state-of-the-art torch , with nearly triple battery life of the old bulb . and led , as all mag-hater know , do not burn out or even go out when bump . so , for a total of twenty buck , you get a american-quality led beam that compete and plain out whip fifty-dollar import with plastic casing . I would not recomend this flashlight if there be not there be a way to fix its biggest flaw . just get you hand on this led adapter , and put it in like you would the standard bulb . replace the mirror reflector , and stomp the old bulb into powder . you will not be need they , ever again . there be also a combo pack availiable , for the same price , that include a push-button adapter if you have ever wish you could tap a red button on the end instead of twist it on and off . I have not try it , but it come with the LED , and for eight buck ? and hey , the flashlight itself come in six different color . these thing be easily replace if one get bang up or you room-mate\/girlfriend draw all over it with sharpie while she be on the phone . I have have these work perfectly even they have be through Hades and back , but some prefer a more formal-looking flashlight . just take the lead out and put it in the new one , those bulb last forever . and now , so will this flashlight . +463 Flashlight NEU 3 I like the light - it put out a great beam , it do not weigh much , it seem to be sturdy enough ... the problem I have with it be it tend to turn on when carry in a pocket . to turn it on , the head be twist . when walk around with the light in a pocket , which I need to do for my work , movement tend to turn the light on . I have run through numerous battery this way , and of course , battery always need to be replace at the most inconvenient time . +621 Flashlight POS 5 can not beat it . I have have one that have be in use for over 20 year . the light be bright . the maglight be make to be use . I purchase this one for another location . +110 Flashlight POS 5 the flashlight to get . that simple . bright , durable , sturdy . it be everything you 'll need in a flashlight . I love mine . it make you wonder why anyone would even consider pay the same price for some dinky plastic flashlight . +154 Flashlight POS 4 exact product at a affordable price w a smooth transaction +93 Flashlight NEG 1 after hear all of the tale of mag-aa durability , etc. I be extremely disappointed , the aa model be very dim compare to the more modern personal light I own . it isnt a dependable light at all , after one 2 foot drop to a carpeted floor the bulb blow out . I replace the bulb with the spare , and it blow out when I put fresh battery in . my recommendation be buy one of the new l.e.d personal lights-no bulb to burn out , longer battery life , much better beam quality , lighter and more dependable . +357 Flashlight NEU 3 \* this flashlight be only useful to I after fitting a third party lead driver & heatsink \* I live on a rural property with horse and need a flashlight that would be 100 % reliable if it be need in a emergency , include be water and shock resistant . I be also after a flashlight that be able to be use for spot object from a distance . the amount of light this maglite put out in standard form be very disappointing and be not useful for anything I need it to do . I fit a third party malkoff lead drop-in that replace the standard bulb assembly and it transform this light from lame to spectacular . everything else about the Maglite though be brilliant : I value the high build quality , size , weather seal and the simple on\/off switch . this be why the 2d maglite be the flashlight I choose to modify . +50 Flashlight POS 5 this flashlight be one of the best , and widely use by law enforcement , pretty much as standard . I highly reccomend this flashlight ! +929 Flashlight POS 5 if you own a flashlight 10v - 12v this be the bulb you want to buy for you flashlight . these be the best replacement bulb . +547 Flashlight POS 5 this mag Lite be just the right size to carry along if you have to travel through a poorly light area to get to you car at night ! this company make excellent , reliable product ! +448 Flashlight NEU 3 I have buy some Mini-Mag 's before , but even though Streamlight and Pelican be come out with these new terrific light , I realize that dealer be hard to find , and although maglite be the older kid on the block , they be easy to find , and it be still a great light . I buy my second 3-d size at my local `` Wally Mart '' and go to work the next night -lrb- I do mobile security -rrb- . I have own a 3-d size before and always find it better than anything I have ever use , aside from a super Coleman 9-v lantern . sometimes I end up in alley , corridor , and even my favorite , field that be grow new but under construction house . still , nothing make I feel safer -lrb- super boof on the head if under aggresion by a hoodlum -rrb- and well prepare with it be great power , both in spot and flood mode . here come the bad news . I almost forget that my other light die from the same reason this one do . I have drop both of they a few time -lrb- clumsy I -rrb- , yet be remind that these be shock resistant . well , on a fateful day in a office building , with new battery too , I accidently drop my mag and as it hit the ` carpet ' floor , it go off . I try to turn it back on , but after a few try and even change the bulb just in case it be burn out , I realize that my mag have expire . Terrific . the other downfall be that if you drop it and it switch off while you be in the dark , good luck find it if you be in the wood . that happen to I once , but I always carry a backup Mini-Mag , so I find it later -lrb- it be black , and try to find it in the wood with dark branch around be not easy , so it be hard to find -rrb- . take this as good advice : buy it if you be in the wood or on softer ground-two of mine die fall onto carpet . the other thing be to at least get the `` silver '' or `` light blue '' color version . at least they be easier to find in moonlight . I just get the black since the black look best . ah , still . hat off to mag . +1 Flashlight POS 5 we be stand around a campfire several year ago and someone ask to look at my husband 's Mini mag Lite . when we friend be return it , we joke , `` do not throw it in the fire ! '' well , guess what ? he toss be a little short , and into the fire the mag Lite go . as we stand there try to figure out how what to do next , the mag Lite simmer in the hot coal . when we finally extract it from the fire , my husband turn on the switch , and to we utter amazement , it still work ! sure , the plastic disc at the end be completely melt away , but the metal casing be totally intact and the flashlight still work perfectly ! how many flashlight can do that ?? +35 Flashlight POS 5 Maglite 6-d flashlight be perfict . I like it . there be one thing I would say , if you decide to use rechargeble set of battery , they be very expensive . would recommend it . +424 Flashlight POS 5 very easy install and hold the MagLite very securely , have two mount inside my Xterra . +100 Flashlight POS 5 I have be use some form of the DEWALT 12 volt flashlight for the past decade . as I find the DEWALT 12 volt drill a excellent choice for residential & commercial electrical work , the dw904 pivot Head Flashlight make for a perfect companion for you lighting need . it also provide a handy load to fully discharge the drill 's ni-cad battery allow they to recharge to maximum efficiency ! a great supplementary device for all ! Update : my DEWALT flashlight take a accidental tumble from 8 foot high and a hard crash to a hardwood floor . Thought sure it be a goner but the unit come up shine bright ! tough little mama ! +450 Flashlight POS 5 I buy this flashlight , it come quicker than I expect and work perfectly . it do not come with battery , but it require standard d size battery . +571 Flashlight POS 5 I love my Mini Maglite ! I have have two of they in the last 8 year -lrb- one grow leg and walk off , so I replace it for $ 10 -rrb- and never have a single problem with either . these be make by maglite and be a step up from they Solitaire AAA keylight -lrb- another great light -rrb- . the Mini run on two aa battery and have a tiny 3 volt `` bi-pin '' type bulb . the battery be store in the flashlight 's body and be access by unscrew the tail cap . the lens be make of polycarbonate , and every mating surface of the light be seal with rubber o-ring , which make it resistant to dust , moisture , and waterm and I can validate this . I have use it in the rain , mud , snow , and fog with no problem whatsoever ! I think it be interesting that the Mini do not have a traditional on\/off switch . you turn it on by twist the head assembly to the right or leave , and you focus the beam the same way from spot to flood . one of the thing about the Mini mag that I really like be that you can use it as a candle . if you turn it on and keep unscrew the the head , it will eventually come apart . the bulb will stay on so you can use the light as a candle by stand it up on the tail cap . I have find this to be invaluable when I need a desk light or reading light but do not want to get out of bed to turn mine on . the Mini mag be quality instrument . the body , end cap , and head be make out of high quality aluminum that be be computer machine from a solid billet of aluminum , which make it very strong with tight tolerance for precise fit between part . the bezel that secure the lens assembly and reflector be also make out of aluminum that have be laser etch with the Maglite logo , and the head have raise grove cut in it for a better grip when twist the head to turn the light on , off , and for focus the beam . it be also fully anodize inside and out for maximum corrosion resistance in saltwater environment . the body be also cut with a pattern in it for a better grip when you hand be wet or slippery . despite the grip , I do have it slip out of my hand several time . it feel solidly build , hefty in the hand , and I reckon will be unlikely ever to break , even if you abuse it . I be weary of the head fitting snugly to the body because there be a little play in it , but it seem to be seal off good and be not let water or dust in . Mine have be drop more time than I can remember , leave on all night and day , step on , sit on , kick , toss , dunk in water , coat in mud , bury in sand , with no problem . you could run this over and it would be fine ! the lens do get scratch up and the anodization be wear very thin , but it be still good to go . the light output be impressive for such a tiny bulb . I be surprise at how bright it be . it would throw a decent amount of light at least 50 foot and illuminate a small room with the candle function . I can not say how many time I have reach for it and turn it on and it always work . in over 7 year I only have to replace the bulb once -lrb- it come with a spare bulb in the tail cap that be secure in a plastic holder -rrb- . the battery life be pretty good . mag advertise 30 hour of run-time and I can validate that . with fresh battery I use it for over two month of occasional use before it start dim . the best part about these be that you can get a lead conversion for they . Maglite make a lead version of this , but the aftermarket conversion work much better . I install the TerraLux lead kit , and it be worth every penny . it cost more than the Maglite itself , and be more expensive than the mag lead , but it be well worth it . you get triple , maybe quadruple the light output and longer battery life to boot . it be a fantastic investment , and for those who want a physical on\/off switch -lrb- I do -rrb- , terralux make one of those as well . pro : high quality make from aluminum not plastic nearly indestructable water resistant Compact Good light output adjustible beam good battery life easily upgradable con : none ! a great light that will always be there when you need it , plus it be a Maglite so it be a company you can trust will stand behind its product . if you want a inexpensive flashlight that will last you a very long time , look at the Mini Maglite first . +168 Flashlight POS 5 if you primarily want a flashlight you can look elsewhere . this be first and foremost to beat the living daylight out of someone or something that be try to harm you . it be a self-defense club that can do some serious damage . the metal construction combine with the weight of the 6 d-cell battery will bring the pain to bad guy or violent animal . just know that this be capable of do more than just leave bruise or knot and can easily break bone if you go all out with it . the heavy duty construction should be able to provide repeated blow as need to do what be necessary to stop a threat . that be say , this be certainly not concealable if you be look for something non-conspicuous . the 4 or even 3-cell maglite can still pack a decent wallop in a much more compact package . as for the light aspect it do a good job jut like most maglite , but if have a bright light be you main concern you should buy a lead model or get one of the led conversion kit for these as this still come with a incandescent bulb . I would recommend the terralux ministar31 mr-ex 1000 Lumen LED Upgrade kit for MagCharger Lights you burn time will also be much better with a lead model . even so , it be still a pretty decent flashlight even with the stock bulb . +717 Flashlight POS 5 I keep this in my globe box for emergency , additional to my 3 d 's maglite . they be really useful and tough +875 Flashlight POS 5 the Maglite ASXD026 D-Cell Flashlight Mounting Brackets purchase from Amazon be top notch . previous set survive over five -lrb- 5 -rrb- year with almost daily use to hold a 5-cell flashlight without failure . very highly recommend ! +396 Flashlight POS 5 this be the sweet spot of flashlight , unless you go for the more compact Inova X1DM-HB dual High\/Low Mode lead flashlight - 1 aa battery pro : \* throw a bright , concentrated beam \* use aa battery -- alkaline or rechargeable -lrb- see note 1 -rrb- \* excellent specification , fully disclose -lrb- see note 2 -rrb- \* good value if you wait for low tide -lrb- under 16 buckss -rrb- \* 4 mode -lrb- bright , low , blink , SOS -rrb- \* 18 hour -lrb- or more -rrb- from a set of battery - hole for tether or strap con : - Wish it have a glass -lrb- scratch resistant -rrb- lens - warranty do not cover led burnout or lead module failure . - the twist-on , twist-off , adjust-focus-every-time design be not ideal . - - - pricing - - - price jump around , and vary by color . low tide be around 15 . there be a `` Online Price Alert '' that will email you whenever this or any amazon product dip below you target price .

I never go aaa ... they be 2-1\/2 time as expensive per amp-hour of output , and in flashlight they be also less space-efficient -lrb- per amp-hour of output -rrb- . note 2 : 69 lumen -lrb- light output -rrb- - 2547 Candela -lrb- light intensity -rrb- - 18\/31 hour battery life -lrb- high\/low mode -rrb- +550 Flashlight NEG 1 these be fine in they day , but have be eclipse by much better , brighter aa or aaa flashlight . I decide to try upgrade two old one I own to the newer led and xenon bulb . both bulb be available at the box store and very reasonable . sadly , neither bulb do much to improve the amount of light these Mini MagLites produce . I do not test lumen or anything like that . I just add fresh battery , turn they on in a room with daylight come into it , and you could just see a small circle of light on the wall at 6 ' . at 8 ' they be almost invisible . better technology have pass these by . +893 Flashlight POS 5 this be one tough little flashlight ! I once drop a Mini mag forty foot onto a rock-while lit-and it survive with only a tiny dent . there be cheaper flashlight out there but this be the one to buy . solid , well think out design and great value make this a winner ! +927 Flashlight POS 4 I be seek a AA Maglite flashlight and notice the `` lead upgrade '' offerer by a number of vendor . I find this flashlight and decide to buy it because it be the genuine maglite brand and feature the lead bulb . the lamp be much brighter and the light be much whiter without the dark spot typical of the standard maglite bulb . what be disappointing be that its larger than the standard size aa maglite , and the larger size feel strange in the hand . I wind up buy the standard aa maglite and the nite-ize led upgrade . +553 Flashlight POS 5 I get one of these little like 1980-something . I still have the same one , it still work great with only change bulb and battery throughout the year . it have be practically everywhere with I and always work . these flashlight be campact , bright , durable and focusable . I have drop mine , toss mine , even use it as a hammer once or twice . get it wet , cold and generally yucky . still work great . the only way this will not be the last flashlight you 'll ever buy be if you do what I do , finally get a bigger mag-lite a few year ago for those time when I want more light . these have to be the best-supported flashlight on the planet . how many other flashlight have so many accessory available for they and have be copy so frequently ? you will not be sorry . +973 Flashlight POS 5 I get this as a replacement bulb for my Ryobi 18V cordless flashlight . -lrb- I be surprised Ryobi do not have one -rrb- . it work well +138 Flashlight POS 5 this flashlight be a monster ! it have wonderful craftsmanship for the price unbeatable . this thing put out a amazing amount of light ! I be at a drive in movie with my friend and before the movie start some people be shine they flashlight on the white screen mess around . I decide to take out this bad boy and it fill the whole entire screen drown out the light of both other flashlight ! the battery also last pretty long , I keep this light in my car and use it maybe once a month , i have not change the battery in over a year ! all in all great product +409 Flashlight POS 5 excellent purchase . now I always know where my flash light be and you can put it anywhere in a convenient place and have it at you access ub case if blackout . +471 Flashlight NEU 3 this light be okay . con : it be not a bright light . it be not a led . you have to twist it to create the desire focus -lrb- a plus if you actually want a wide scatter beam , a minus if you want a quick focused beam -rrb- pro : it be small . it be light . water resistant . not sure about the battery complaint . I use it for quick -lrb- -lrb- 1 minute -rrb- use , from time to time . be use the same battery for a good full year . I think MagLite issue lead ` upgrade ' bulb for the aa battery model be quite a admission that MagLite be not the top in this category anymore . I be hope they engineer can come up with a lead ` upgrade ' bulb for this single , AAA battery model as well . I would imagine it would be a better light . +689 Flashlight POS 5 this little mag blow I away !!! the light its so intense you can not look at it directly ! do not hesitate . . this be the Led flashlight to buy ! . +982 Flashlight POS 5 c'mon , you know you have see police officer and security guard carry this thing . it be not just because it have a great beam you can adjust the intensity of ... it make a great defensive weapon , too ! learn the proper way to hold it and you 'll never feel uneasy try to track down the source of that strange sound in you backyard at 3am again . Trust the law enforcer 's choice ! the mag 3 d-cell rule the night ! +896 Flashlight NEG 1 I buy three set of these . Broke one side of one clip pull out the flashlight two day after install they in my jeep . I have two more set so I change out the broken one . same deal when I pull out the flashlight and break the other of the first set two week later , and replace it . consider the price I just chalk it up to poor manufacture . yesterday i pull the flashlight out and break the side off of another one . I will remove these clip from my jeep and look for something more dependable . I want to mount a light in my jeep , rv , and my truck , but these clip be way too brittle to be dependable . I have one brand new set still in the packaging but I will not be mount they anywhere . I expect a lot out of my tool and maglite make a very high quality , dependable flashlight . I be disappoint to see this quality do not extend to this product . the plastic be too brittle for this use . +63 Flashlight POS 5 Maglite flashlight be renown for they top-notch quality , they waterproof \/ water resistant design , and they extremely durable and corrosion-resistant aircraft grade aluminum casing . the Maglite AA Mini Flashlight be no exception . pro -- - come with a Holster the holster have a loop for thread a belt through . it be well-stitched and make of durable nylon . - waterproof \/ water resistant the maglite be immersible in a few foot of water . - durable the aircraft grade aluminum make the casing of the Maglite extremely durable and completely corrosion resistant . - small and portable the maglite be handy for emergency , hike , camping and other use - and its small size make it very portable for take it along anywhere you go so you would not be catch without a flashlight when you need one ! - well-crafted and beautiful con -- - incandescent flashlight bulb the incandescent flashlight bulb that come with the Maglite can blow out , especially when subject to extreme temperature . LED Bulb Replacement -------------------- as a aside , the incandescent light bulb can be replace with the terralux lead flashlight bulb lead light bulb be brighter , use less energy , and have a 30,000 hour lifespan . conclusion ---------- the Maglite Mini Flashlight be waterproof \/ water resistant , portable , and have a extremely durable exterior . recommend . +510 Flashlight POS 4 I have a lot of flashlight . people read about this product probably already own several size and shape , that be located in tool box , glove compartment and kitchen drawer across America . you can not have too many . I buy this one because of Maglite 's reputation for quality and because the size be perfect for just about any drawer in my house or compartment in my car . add to that the extra juice of the d cell battery and the larger reflector and I know I have to have it . yes , the technology be old school but it be a flashlight , not a computer -lrb- you still use no. 2 pencil right ? -rrb- the darn thing flat out work . you turn it on , light come out of one end - mission accomplish . oh yeah , you can not break it unless you be a barbarian -lrb- a really big barbarian -rrb- . a couple of year ago , I give all my co-worker this model and they still tell I that they use it , love it , best flashlight ever ... and it be american make - I really like that too . +615 Flashlight POS 4 for the price , its a good buy . Works well in the garage with the revolving head . +996 Flashlight NEU 3 the light be great when its working at full brightness . it will frequently go to a dimmer version of itself and I have to turn it off and on again to attempt to get it to settle back to full bright . it occasionally turn off right when I need it to be on . tighten the battery enclosure help a bit but not completely . I expect a lot better from MAGLITE . about 3 week after buy this light I find about $ 8 cheaper at one of the home center . +531 Flashlight POS 4 buy the mag minus and the accessory lens . Wish the light be a bit brighter , but overall the whole package of flashlight , holster , battery , lens , leash and anti-roll device be a nice compact package you can take anywhere . +277 Flashlight POS 4 till now , I have be make do with minimag with various lead drop-in , and the 3 d cell mag , whch be excellent light . the 3d always be too large , heavy , and awkward , though . despite a almost pathological negativity by so-called `` expert '' against MagLite product , for the past 35 year , I have find mine rugged , reliable , and rather good-looking . I really do not need a new flashlight , but just recently , I decide to see what all the yell be about , and purchase the lead version of the MiniMag light . scary bright ! a excellent light-weight light , nearly as bright as the 3d as it come from the package . I feel the additional mode , strobe and SOS , -lrb- probably do with a eye to the competition -rrb- be of very little practical usefulness , except in extreme and rare circumstance , but the lighting level be nice . I put a terralux tailcap switch on my MiniMag LED , something I feel the factory should have provide , and it cycle through the mode without a hiccup . I have never find MagLite 's focus ability to be necessary , so I just set the focus where I wish , and use the tailcap switch . I do not know yet if the durability will match my regular minimag , but judge from my past experience , it will be excellent . recommend : four star , because of the extra , `` fluff '' mode , inconvenient operation without a tailcap , and the need to focus constantly . +536 Flashlight POS 4 mag light be awesome . I have a 3 d-cell light for year , and replace it with this 4 d-cell . however , it be a bit to heavy to easily swing around as a weapon . buy the 3 d-cell light . +752 Flashlight POS 5 I use this light on 2 separate deployment with no issue . it be 100 % reliable , the battery life be great , and it be bright enough for non-tactical light need -lrb- look through shipping container , light dark path , tent , etc -rrb- . I like the new dim feature , although it take a few minute to figure out how to use it . it be a little bigger than the original maglite , but still small enough to fit into the lower leg pocket which mean I could easily carry it 24\/7 . I do own bigger , brighter , more expensive led light ... but the maglite be a great value and you can carry it without need to worry about mess up something expensive . I have already get my money 's worth out of this and it will probably be around for a long time still . +246 Flashlight POS 5 my husband keep this by the bed ready to shine it into the eye of any intruder . this be not only a flash light , it could be consider a weapon . this be one heavy flashlight which could almost be use as a mini weight bar . the light turn on with the press of a button and you can adjust the light beam to focus in or show a wide beam to see you way while walk in the dark , say while camping . Doug 's review will tell you the detail , I just want to tell you how much my husband love this flashlight . do all guy love this mag-lite brand ? must be a Tim the Toolman power light thing ! for woman , I recommend the mini mag-lite , it be cute and be much lighter to carry around . you can keep it in the car or in you purse . ~ the Rebecca Review +688 Flashlight POS 5 my lead flashlight need be simple , to I anyway : common aa battery power , substantially brighter than a ordinary small flashlight , fairly inexpensive and make in USA . the AA Mini Maglite be my all time favorite and I do not want to give it up for a overprice `` CSI '' bright competitor . the Maglite AA lead finally make it to South Dakota and I be quite happy with it . I like the focused beam and the same head twist switch as the regular Mini mag . I would put this flashlight 's brightness halfway between the old Mini mag and the overpriced led flashlight , but I do not need to burn ant or blind myself in the dark . this flashlight be more than capable of get the job do . +506 Flashlight POS 4 I have have 4 of these over the last ten year . two of they be still go strong , of the other two , one be lose & the other break -lrb- I keep it for spare part -rrb- . of course the current led technology blow away the traditional bulb but they durability , ease of use and availability & affordability of part & upgrade make for a quality , highly adaptable flashlight . I have never use the ` candle ' mode but it be good to know it be there if I ever need it . to this day , I carry one on both tool belt , my ` regular ' , all-purpose belt and my heavier , framing-rig belt . this flashlight be a staple in the trade , law enforcement , engineering and everything in-between . the lead upgrade for this be ok but it be almost cheaper to just buy a mag lead flashlight except that it would be a shame to throw away this light because we buy the lead one , imho . the sheath be durable but lack a way of secure the tool so that it do not slip out and my biggest complaint be that I have to really tighten the head off to keep it from spin on when I sit down and\/or brush it up against a wall every so often . I buy the accessory kit for this early on but it be nothing special . I be wait for these to burn out or break before I buy the lead version , judge by my experience w \/ these , I be go to wait for long time . +398 Flashlight POS 4 Maglite 's be the best build flashlight around . always have be but it be not the brightest kid on the block . if you want a strong well build flashlight that will last a lifetime you can not beat maglite . they be waterproof in normal use and will stand up to just about any kind of abuse they might get even in the toughest of environment . about the only way to kill a maglite be to use cheap chinese battery that leak . about the only flashlight that be better be the Maglite LED . +161 Flashlight POS 4 this be by no mean the brightest flashlight you 'll ever use . led and those 15 million candlepower gun be what you 'll want to hail down a plane . as a general-purpose flashlight , though , it work very well . it may have be the brightest in its day , but technology have move past , and Standard Maglites be nothing special in term of turn night into day . however , if you buy a led or xenon lamp upgrade , you brightness level will improve greatly . for a cheap increase in this instrument usefulness as a flashlight , spend 4 buck here on a xenon bulb . for the very brightest , though , drop 30 on a conversion for a led . you battery life will not be hurt ; actually , the led upgrade improve the life from what I be tell -lrb- I say it have better , for cost 1.5 time than the damn flashlight -rrb- . maglite be commonly use by police and civilian alike , for they waterproof and shockproof property , and world-class durability . this be the 70 's Chevy pickup of flashlight - not flashy , but mechanically unkillable . I would want nothing else by my side if I have to defend myself suddenly in the dark . of course , grab a extra set of battery and keep they near it -- those old 70 's pickup be hardly know for they miserly fuel consumption , and neither be these . every household should have a 3 d-cell plus -lrb- they go up to 6 -rrb- Maglite in they house . I have a standard 3 and a xenon-lamp 4 , and I be take one camp with I this summer . +947 Flashlight POS 5 all the mag lite share solid aluminum construction and rubber o-ring seal . what set the minus mag off from the other mag lite be its size -lrb- easy to hold with tooth while work under car , sink , etc -rrb- and one little known feature - `` candle '' mode . you adjust the beam focus by rotate the minus mag 's head , but if you continue turn the head pop off ; you be leave with the handle and the expose bulb , which be now throw light in all direction - it be a `` candle '' . flip the head over , place it on the ground\/table - it be now a `` candle holder '' . Stick the candle into the candle holder . instant candle for camping . -lrb- these direction be actually on the minus mag 's packaging , but it be not until I have buy my third minus mag -lrb- one for car , kitchen , daypack -rrb- that I notice . this be actually a great trick to show other minus mag owner ... they also throw they packaging away without look it . the larger mag light do not have this feature . -rrb- two minus mag in the candle mode do a good job on a picnic table at night ... so get two of they ... they be cheap . +413 Flashlight POS 4 about 1.5 x brighter than the 2d halogen maglite . the 3d lead maglite be way brighter than either though . would like to get a bulb replacement for this one . battery life be only 11 hour ? since it be not a whole lot brighter than the 2d cell I be surprise by the short battery life . if you be not a security guard you 'll look like one carry this flashlight \/ baton . it be huge , which be probably the reason why you be buy it . +457 Flashlight POS 5 I pay full price for this little flashlight and I could not do without it ! it be always handy on my keyring and have just the right amount of power for it be intended purpose ... it be not mean to light up the block ; it be a personal light for see you car or door lock in the dark ; or , -lrb- for we chicken -rrb- , it be a relief to have when go through DARK funhouse with the kid . claustrophobic -lrb- like I ! -rrb- will love it , too ! +963 Flashlight POS 5 this flashlight be well build , big and heavy . just like my junk . if I hit someone on the head with this flashlight they would be a do Tom turkey . just like my junk . +80 Flashlight POS 4 be use this light for nearly 5 year for all kind of work in attic or under house . I have always be able to rely on this thing for difficult to spot wire or for work in a dark closet when mount panel for security system . the rotate head be also very handy for that perfect angle when work in odd location . I do wish it have a clip or hook that would attach to 2x4 's in the attic . that be the only reason why i only give it 4 star . +247 Flashlight POS 5 order this for my Dewalt dw919 rechargeable light ... we recieve this item fast and bulb be very bright . . two in the package ... thanks ! +326 Flashlight POS 5 have only have the new battery for a few week , but , so far , it work as advertise . actually , it be not what I order ; the ni-cad replacement battery . I receive the newer nimh battery instead . no problem , tho , as they say it work with the old charger , and it seem to do just that . I use my original ni-cad battery for close to 7 year , and it still work pretty good , but I have have to charge it every day for the past couple of year . I use my light for at least 30 minute almost every night , and the new battery hold it be charge for several night before I recharge . when these battery discharge , they go dead all at once . there be no gradual discharge as with old battery so do not get catch need light with no way to charge-up . this be a great flashlight ; the best I have ever own , and these new battery be do they job . only Time will tell if they be go to last anywhere near as long as the original do . +338 Flashlight POS 4 good product . this one be a replacement for one use for year . battery fail and destroy old one . word to wise check battery . +43 Flashlight POS 5 when I order this flashlight I be unsure whether it would be bright enough to be the go-to flashlight during power outage . upon receive it , I see it be plenty bright enough to be the household flashlight . highly recommend . +728 Flashlight POS 5 I have these install on the dash of my old suv - stupid I ! Forgot to take they off when I sell the car ! when you drive at night , especially in snowy , blizzard condition , you do not want to be fumble for you 4d maglite when something happen ! my mag flashlight have come in handy so many time I recommend everyone to have one within hand reach `` just in case '' . for this price , you can not go wrong !! see it some store for almost 4x this price !! +556 Flashlight POS 5 this be the only flashlight to have . it be tough , bright , and durable . it will not break , and if you replace the battery , it will never let you down . if someone attack you , you can beat they with it , and it will still work . compare to the Maglight , any other flashlight be worse than useless . Face it , you flashlight be a serious personal survival tool , and it be stupid to be stick with one that be just a cheap toy . put one in you vehicle and one by the side of you bed , and I guarantee you will never regret it . the company be also pretty amazing . I buy a maglight at a large store once , and someone have remove the gasket and some other part . I call the company toll-free , and they not only send I the part I need at no charge , the send I extra , and they come in the mail within a few day ! +4 Flashlight POS 4 I initially have trouble insert the battery because the spring keep fall out . after the battery be successfully insert , the flashlight work as expect . I buy the flashlight for my camping trip . it fit snuggly in my shorts pocket , yet provide very bright light for the walk from the tent to the wash room . I highly recommend the flashlight because of its small size and bright light . +921 Flashlight POS 5 for year my MagLite roll around in the back seat of my car or in the trunk , until I find these mount bracket . mount my flashlight right underneath my steer wheel for easy access . could not be happier with the product . +444 Flashlight NEG 1 I have not receive it yet , they say it should be here around 6th of November . that be 6 week , come on . nothing and I say nothing have ever take this long to get here and I will never buy anything from this store again . if it do not arrive by then I want my money return at once . the light bulb I oerder come with in a week . oh yeah they come from another store . John Ekstrom +981 Flashlight POS 4 choose a different maglite flashlight , one with a lead blub . the other have a regular light blub , perfer the LED Blub +354 Flashlight POS 4 the flashlight be manufacture with the usual excellent maglite quality . the light be bright , and the extra function can be handy . the first generation lead minus maglite be plague with design and durability issue , let hope this one do better . +899 Flashlight POS 4 I be give this light by my brother and it work great . the casing be very strong and duriable , and the flashlight be very bright for it be small size . you can still even see the beam in a well light room . the only reason I be bother to put in a review be to give a word of warning . while deffinately better than any other flashlight of this size I have have , the on\/off switching method be not perfect . the regular maglight be say to have superior switch that do not fail as be so common with a regular flashlight . however the double a battery mag have a different type of on\/off switch . with this type of switch you screw the head in or out to turn the light on . this switching method be not perfect because you also adjust the focus of the beam with by twist the head as well . the problem my little mag have be that at the tightest focus , the head be rather loose on the casing and can rock back and forth . this rock can cause the flashlight to shut on and off when the head push against the off switch\/lighting assembly . most of the time when I be use a flashlight , I want the strongest beam\/tightest focus , and it can be a bit bothersome to jiggle the head so the light remain on . this thing be still better than any other minus flashlight I have ever see , but I just want to let those of you look know that it be still not perfect . I would recomend you get one anyway . +490 Flashlight NEG 2 maglite name use to stand for quality flashlight . i purchase 2 cell C & D flashlight and they only last for a year . i suppose for 15 dollar that be not bad . still i would rather not have to replace they with anything from mag intrument +179 Flashlight NEU 3 i purchase my first maglite in the '80 while in the military be awesome drive tent stake with it float it in the Rhine river could not kill it . it be finally steal in the mid '90 ! this maglite i buy due to have to replace battery in cheaper flashlight ALOT . price be reasonable , quality seem to have slack with maglite over the year it wont work unless i unscrew the head and retighten it after light . would i still recommend YEA buy another no ! +795 Flashlight NEG 2 I have four mini-led maglite -lrb- three 2aa , 1 3aa -rrb- , two 3d lead maglite , one 2d lead maglite and a few non-led 3d\/4d maglite in various color . I use to buy nothing but MAGLITE flashlight . however , unlike the non-led maglite , the more expensive -lrb- minus -rrb- lead version have all-but-one fail over time . I have not have much trouble with the bigger light , especially the non-led version . all but one of the mini-maglite led flashlight that I have have develop weak connection or corrosion after a year or more . I start see the light go off randomly while use it . shake it help for a while , but eventually I be smack it on thing to get it to come back on . after a while , I give up . the battery do not seem to drain evenly , one battery can drain to the point that it leak all over the inside of the light , while the other be still over 90 % capacity . happen more than I like . the only mini-maglite that still work for I - I have to pry out a battery from it today . mag research probably have great customer service , and they 'll remove leak battery for you , fix stuff if you send they the light . but for something $ 20 or less , it be not worth it for I . I just throw it in a part drawer in case the one mini-maglite I have leave need a spring or something . +961 Flashlight POS 4 this be a wonderful flashlight , but I think that it be perhaps too expensive . I buy it on year ago , and I be think that I could have save some money if instead of buy this flashlight I would have buy a regular one -lrb- $ 20 -rrb- and rechargeable battery -lrb- $ 20-30 -rrb- . the bulb do not last too much -lrb- 5 month I think -rrb- . a positive thing be that cradle be a great idea . I be give to it four star because think that it be a wonderful piece , but I think that the price should be around $ 50 or $ 60 not $ 110 or so ... +839 Flashlight POS 4 I have have two of these thing now . which be fun because you can mix part for different color combo . I love this little light . it be always be bright enough for I . I have have some issue with the tail cap partially unscrew itself in my pocket . but after two year in my pocket I can understand it . battery life have be sufficient for my need . it be extremely durable . I send one through the wash once . worked fine afterwards . all in all I would recommend this to anyone look for a quality every day carry light . +663 Flashlight NEU 3 the Mag Instrument S3D016 Black Heavy Duty 3 D-Cell Flashlight be another of my past favorite that get a lot of use . now a day , there be a lot go on with the technology of flashlight . LED , Lithium battery , focus bezel , etc. . the maglight brand have fall behind a bit technologically , but be still a great flashlight for minor emergency not involve look for criminal , terrorist or signalling for a chopper pick up . the Mag Instrument S3D016 Black Heavy Duty 3 D-Cell Flashlight be perfect for a tool box but a bit too big for a deep pocket . the product be very durable and they be prove reliable . do not get I wrong . I have depend on mag lite of all size for year . but head to head , the surefire brand have quickly surpass mag lite in every important aspect of flashlight - usable light power , size , durability and weight . the mag light brand just be not keep up with the new technology . and that be too bad for we who value product loyalty . the Mag Instrument S3D016 Black Heavy Duty 3 D-Cell Flashlight be still a good value and I have several in the house and the vehicle . but they be be replace by surefire as they wear out . John Row +675 Flashlight POS 5 buy as a Christmas gift for my nephew so I can not attest to the performance , but I do not expect any problem . good look product . I think he 'll really like the holster . +167 Flashlight POS 5 that be right . I buy one of these light , previously own one of they mini-mag . I see the quality of product , and base upon that and its reputation for be the most rugged light out there I buy the 4d . I be not disappointed , this light be like a light cannon . upgrade to the xenon bulb make a whiter light than stock , and be slightly brighter . mag also make different lens for the larger -lrb- 3,4,5,6 d cell -rrb- light , as well as anti-roll cap cover . so kid , tell you parent `` buy I a Maglite -- or go to hell ! '' +308 Flashlight POS 5 they be flashlight and then they be maglite . the beam on this be very bright and white\/natural . the method to switch between mode take a little time to get use to but i like it now . focus the beam of the led be a little different than a classic maglite . nice quality and look . +465 Flashlight NEU 3 this flashlight work well for what I need . it be very bright . the pivot head be handy . if you look at plastic flashlight most be way less expensive than this one . the switch be poor quality and only last about 10 month of daily use . +272 Flashlight POS 5 I have own a few 4-cell maglite over a period of 27 year . they be extremely durable and produce a incredible amount of illumination . by simply twist the head , you can go from floodlight to spot very quickly . they be very water resistant as well . during my past line of work , my maglite also serve as a effective alternative baton . you will find many detractor that write about how the -lrb- maglite -rrb- technology be outdate , and that product from SureFire and Streamlight be superior in utilize new super-bright led technology , and in energy efficiency . this be all true . but there be counterpoint to these statement . one be that the more modern led product tend to be very expensive -lrb- some of they top $ 250.00 -rrb- , where a 4 cell maglite will run you about $ 25.00 s&h; include . Second be that I do not see one of the lead product offer that be durable or heavy enough to second as a weapon . the only drawback be if you be a boater , maglite definitely do not float if drop overboard . if you be a back packer , I would not recommend this due to weight issue . I would recommend the mini-maglite instead which also offer great illumination , the same flood to spot feature , and be very durable and water-resistant , but be much lighter -lrb- it only need two aa cell -rrb- . aside from that , I could not be happier . they be the best flashlight you can get for the price . +121 Flashlight POS 4 if you already have a dewalt 12v cordless tool - this flashlight be great . I always keep my backup battery charge and I have good light whenever I need it . it be fairly well build and will provide great usable light for more than 30 minute . the head of the flashlight rotate so that you can position the beam where you need it . should it be cheaper ? it use to sell for $ 34.00 and now cost $ 20.00 . sound like a good deal to I caslo +181 Flashlight POS 5 Love Maglite flashlight , only have one minor issue with this one . I do not normally write review , but want to share this for anyone else who have this problem . the flickering\/won ' t turn on problem very well could be the tailcap assembly -lrb- screw off back part -rrb- . there be 2 metal clip that need to make contact with the barrel . if you aa lead maglite be not turn on , try bend these 2 clip out and make sure they can make contact with the barrel . Mine have this problem , and once I bent these clip out it have work just great . I hope this help someone out there . +533 Flashlight POS 4 when I buy the light many year ago it work great and be plenty bright . I take to strap it onto the handlebars of my bicycle -lrb- with a pad to prevent damage -rrb- for commute home at night from work . I really like the quick forty five minute recharge cycle and I have two battery so be easy to change out . no other bike light I have find at any price come close to that quick charge and simplicity . anyway ... the bulb eventually go after lot of use and I go look for new one . at my local tool supply I find they and head for the counter . nine DOLLARS ! ! ! ! -lrb- for two bulb ; now ten plus -rrb- . that be stupid I exclaim ! for twelve volt flash light bulb . I can get the same thing at the local mom and pop hardware store for less than a dollar each ; dollar sixty nine top . five dollar each from Dewalt what a mark up ! Thievery ! etc. , etc. , etc. , etc. , ok I be sing a different tune now . I just `` invest '' in two genuine dewalt after several year of use the hardware store one . partly because the cheep one be get hard to find and because I remember the light be plenty bright back when new and have not seem that way for a while now . even allow for the darken that happen to the glass on the bulb over time I put in the new bulb and run it for a charge worth . quite a difference . the light out put be whiter than the basic cheep bulb , the spot on the road be larger for the same pitch , it actually seem to get brighter on the second use even though the battery be lower annnnnnd it run longer than with the cheep bulb for the same charge . I can say that because the run time be within a minute or less for each commute period . I guess I be back with Dewalt bulb for the difference they make . +631 Flashlight NEG 2 my mag charger flashlight be work well a month ago , but today I try it and it be dead . put it on the ac charger , as usual , but after 8 hour it be hot -lrb- the flashlight body -rrb- so I try the light -lrb- still charge -rrb- , and nothing happen . upon open the tailcap , white powder dump out , and the inside be totally corroded . thankfully it do not start a fire or explode . the flashlight be useless now . this be my second battery I have have but it leak badly . ps - I always charge it for at least 12 hour , and this battery be obtain directly from mag instrument . +145 Flashlight NEU 3 you money 'll be better use buy a lead technology flashlight ... however this be a nice normal one ... +280 Flashlight POS 5 I have every size of maglite d cell flashlight and this holder be a must for the big one . good product send quickly . +696 Flashlight POS 5 it be small but give the light of a full size light . can put in purse and pocket . it have a little hole to allow it to be attach to a key ring , etc. . small enough for child to hold . +250 Flashlight POS 5 this review be for the 3 aa battery lead version -lrb- currently amazon have the title and description of the aa lead model mix up -rrb- . I have no less than 10 maglite in several size and color ... this one blow they all away ! to give you a example of how bright it be : in candle mode this flashlight be brighter than my fluorscent camping lantern that use 8 size d battery . this thing totally outshine comparable maglite more than 10 time its size . every automobile should have one of these in the glovebox , and no camp-box be complete without one . +455 Flashlight POS 5 I work for the government as a communication technician and sometimes you need a nice bright light with stay power , when work in dark room and do cable splice , etc. . so , I know what I be get before I actually buy one of these light for myself . I be so impressed with the light at work , that I know I would eventually have one at home , and now I do . this be a great light ! it will stay light for hour without need a charge . no battery to replace and super bright . my light come with 2 mount bracket , a ac charger and a dc plug for the car or truck . I 'll definately pack this light during future trip . also , I receive this light just 3 day after order it . . super fast delivery ! +423 Flashlight NEG 2 I give this 2 star because it be a nicely build flashlight . however , it be a flashlight , and the purpose of a flashlight be to shine light onto thing so you can see ... at this , the Solitaire perform poorly . even with a fresh battery , it have a weak beam . it be simply not worth it , even for half the price . it just do not work well as a flashlight . I have have this light for 5 year now , and I have never use it because it be so bad . it be the only flashlight I own that I do not use . thankfully , it be only a Christmas gift . +442 Flashlight POS 5 maglite have the best quality there be ! get it quickly and it be package well . price be unbeatable -lrb- i check -rrb- very happy with this product ! +356 Flashlight POS 5 anyone whose life or safety , depend upon they ability to light up the night , will want a professional grade product . my `` work-horse '' be a streamlight sl-20x , w \/ a sl-35x lamp , throw out 40,000 candle power . exactly what I need to be able to see someone try to run from I or hide in the shadow . for close quarter , I prefer the Streamlight Stinger w \/ a Terralux lead upgrade package . to back they up , I keep a surefire 9p modify to chamber 4 cr123 battery and fire a 12v xenon bulb . in my toolbox , for use when I be crawl in sub-basement , attic , & under car , I keep a streamlight sl-20xp LED & Streamlight PolyStinger lead . start to get the idea that I will not leave anything stock or oem ? ca not wait to hear about how I add `` more power '' mod to my car , my gun , my computer , my gold tooth ... . . even my jeans sag more than the next guy ! now let talk about the Maglite . sort of like step down from a muscle car to a Honda , right ? I have also get a set of snap-on tool , but none-the-less still buy junk from Harbor Freight . a couple of week ago , I find a old maglite in my garage . have it from when I be a kid . the battery have explode and leak acid ruin the entire sleeve & switch assembly . since I have a sense of humor , and a extra $ 4 in `` forever '' stamp , I wrap this thing up in a streamlight box and send it back to the Maglite warranty center . within a couple of week , a brand new Maglite come in the mail . maglite stand behind they product . they be serious about that lifetime warranty . you can not beat that , period . a flashlight that you can own forever -lrb- if you do not lose it -rrb- for all of $ 10 ! I have see mine drop from ladder , down hike trail , off the top of a 6 foot fence ... you name it , all sort of height . sure , the bulb might break . you may even crack the lens . but you will not break the metal casing or the switch . even if you drop they in water , you can dry they out , change the battery , and still use they again . as Hanukkah approach , I have already decide to give all the kid Maglites this year . just like I have when I be a kid . back then , you be on top of the world if you have a swiss Army Knife & a Mini-Maglite . even as a adult , I can not go anywhere without a Leatherman Tool & Surefire g2 nitrolon . not very bright . cost of battery will add up real fast . start off brighter , then dim & fade . Poor beam pattern with dark spot from filament out of balance . but still the best value for a all purpose light . great to keep around in the kitchen drawer . excellent for kid . ca not be beat for camping & fishing . and in a pinch , will work with 6v battery from Streamlight SL-20X & Mag-Charger . +194 Flashlight POS 4 this be a nice little metal flashlight -- work great and the battery last for a long time . the reason I only give it 4 star -- I wish it have a on\/off switch instead of twist on\/off . +825 Flashlight NEU 3 its a graat torch very powerful bulb good focus but the only issue s that due to 4 battery of a make it very difficult to carry due to the weigt of 4 cell for residence purpose the 2 cell would be more confortable reg yusuf +169 Flashlight POS 5 Led be so much better & brighter than standard flashlight there be no comparison . mag-lite quality only add value . +451 Flashlight POS 5 I have be look for a good but cheap led flashlight for some time now . this be it . most like it cost around $ 30 . it come with a belt holster which make it even better . no more have to carry a small flashlight in my shirt pocket . only pro here ... no Cons must buy for all . +97 Flashlight POS 4 I buy this at a brick and mortar retailer so I would have something in case the power go out in my apartment ; the flashlight I have be one I borrow from my parent , a 2-d cell cheap plastic Duracell Durabeam which would only stay dimly light if I keep constantly hold the button just right . I buy this on December 24 , 2011 for $ 7.89 + tax . it come with a weave nylon holder with a loop to hang it off a belt . I already throw away the packaging but I remember that it say 7 lumen and xenon ; judge by the fact that there be no minus maglight on Amazon that say `` xenon , '' I suspect that , be naive and not do any prior research , I may have somehow get screw and purchase a older non-led minus maglight . it do do the job ok - this flashlight cast a gray circle of light surround by a lighter reddish-pink-orange color wider glow of light , and the size of the darker circle compare to the surround lighter circle of light change as the head be turn past the point necessary to turn the light on . the body and feature of the flashlight be the same as describe in the other review . its a shame the model number and type of bulb be not write on the flashlight . otherwise I light that the body be metal rather than cheap flimsy look plastic and 3-3\/8 inch of the body be texture so it be easier to grip . +790 Flashlight POS 4 I sure do like this light . light be bright , and last a pretty good long time . the only thing that I do not like about it be that if you set it down on the battery , and raise the lamp up and point it down , it become unbalanced . but ... that do not hinder my use it ... love the light . +793 Flashlight POS 4 over the year , doodle on the Google homepage have make search on Google more fun and enjoyable for its user worldwide . when doodle be first create , nobody have anticipate how popular and integral they would become to the Google search experience . nowadays , many user excitedly anticipate the release of each +114 Flashlight POS 5 this flashlight be the perfect blend of power , performence , and toughness . my maglite take a couple hard falls-the diffrence-nothing . the holster be very handy and tough and wont rip easily . the spare bulb in the end of the flashlight just add to its brilliance . the light of this flashlight be more powerful than some flashlight twice its size . I have try other Brand-Named flashlight but none equal this maglite . you would buy it if you smart . +907 Flashlight POS 5 this small but powerful little flash light be awesome . it be easy to work and I love the candle light feature . +614 Flashlight POS 5 these be very reliable , definitely recommend . and i like the use of aa battery , instead of c 's or other . +382 Flashlight POS 5 I have own and use mag light for year they be very reliable and put out great light . I love the way the beam on the flashlight be adjustable , you can zoom in or zoom out with ease . it let you see whatever you want with bright light . Heavy enough to be a very good weapon in a pinch . this one we keep here at the house for emergency power outage , or to look around outside at night . they be great to have around for this purpose . I also purchase the hanger to attach it to the wall in the garage . very easy to install and let you place it in a handy spot so you can get to it when you need it . we have several around the house . they always work replace the battery once a year , more often if you use it a lot . it will work for year . +579 Flashlight POS 4 as a goverment Motor Vehicle Inspector and use many flash light over 16 year this be the best ever . the DOT would not be the same without it . +392 Flashlight POS 5 talk about bright ! it be like a portable sun ! and the best part be , nobody in they right mind would ever mess with you while you be carry it ! the thing be MASSIVE ! +152 Flashlight POS 5 a good value on a replacement bulb for my Dewalt flashlight . quick ship from Amazon at a fair price . not hard to find in Amazon . +81 Flashlight NEG 1 Yea if you want to buy something at walmart , its ok . if you be order online , you can do WAY better . ok I be sorry . seriously these thing be bad . they be solidly build on the outside , but they suck . I have break 2 or 3 . I can not really find they all , but trust I , they be break . I just try fix one , and guess what ? I do fix it . then I spray it with some silicone and the reflective coating on the REFLECTOR MELTED OFF . WTF ??? really ? I know these be a couple year old , but honestly . thats just crap . also the black plastic piece around the bulb melt too . the one that say `` DO NOT remove . '' I have to remove it to fix the switch and now its melt . I spend $ 20 on a Cree q5 flashlight . -lrb- akoray k-106 -rrb- order it from Dealextreme . it 'll take 2 week to get to you , but its worth it . 3 programable mode -lrb- brightness , stobe , blink , `` s-o-s-o '' mode -rrb- put in a 14500 -lrb- li-ion aa shape battery -rrb- and enjoy between ~ 5-200 lumen . http:\/\/www.dealextreme.com\/details.dx\/sku.16607 -lrb- they claim its a 6 mode , its really a 3 -rrb- tight on budget ? look up the Ultrafire c3 . 70-80 lumen and $ 10 . http:\/\/www.dealextreme.com\/details.dx\/sku.1993 +874 Flashlight POS 5 hold my maglite very securely in my jeep , take a bit of strength to get it out but I would rather have it tight than loose . so far have not experience any problem and I have have it hold for a couple of month now . +545 Flashlight POS 4 its a maglite . its a tough little bugger , and it will outlast all you other plastic flashlight . one problem be the bulb be not very bright . they be good candidate for led replacement . one problem I have find be that the battery tube be just large enough for 1600mah nimh aa cell , but the larger capacity cell of 2000-2650mah be too `` fat '' and will not slide in . alkaline will work well of course , they be skinnier . like other maglite you can take off the focuser and use it as a `` candle '' . the tiny skinny bulb be fragile so it will not take much abuse . its pretty heavy despite its size so you may have problem hold it in you tooth of you want to use it `` handsfree '' . the rear cap have a hole for a lanyard strap and I suggest you use one , cylindrical flashlight have a bad habit of roll away at inopportune time . +72 Flashlight POS 5 for those of you that own the DEWALT dw919 18V Cordless Flexible floodlight with a dead bulb and look for replacement try this first ... just unscrew the flashlight lens and look right inside the rim ... BINGO ! ... they should be a extra backup bulb right inside the flashlight ... I find this out the hard way after buy the replacement pack ... but if you have already kill both bulb then buy the 2-pack here while you can ... these be kinda hard to find ... and they probably will not last ... these work great so go nutz ! +672 Flashlight POS 5 this review come after own this product for well over two year , of which I use this product on a nightly basis that I put a lead upgrade in . I would use this product outdoors in all type of weather rain , snow , etc when I be walking\/letting a cat we adopt out to roam on we approximate 3 acre yard that be subject to have coyote , fox and deer stop by and hang out and have a snack -lrb- in the summer it be the garden -rrb- . I would be outside from approximately 8:00 pm until sometimes 1-2 in the be , I would turn on the light atleast 20-50 time a night -lrb- yes , I guess you can say I be afraid of the dark , not so much the 4 legged animal mostly the 2 legged one -rrb- and with the lead the light be good especially with 2 c cell . I would use Lithium rechargeable battery which be decent and this light be more than adequate for my need BUT upgrade to the 3 c cell -lrb- I also have small hand -rrb- incase kitty get into a scrape with another animal . when I be in law enforcement , I use the bigger light , but the smaller one be no exception , it have be drop so many time and work -lrb- only problem if they be one would be the bulb -rrb- . what I really like about this light be the switch , ITS EASY but after all the abuse the light have be through the switch be get a little shakey but work . I would recommend this light to anyone its a winner base on my testing . I have atleast 4 of the maglite , a 4 c cell -lrb- my work light -rrb- , a 3 cell light my all purpose light and 2 two c cell light -lrb- my lazy light when outside , fit better in the pocket make it easier when hold a beverage -rrb- . if you decide to get this light get the led upgrade which cost approximately 15-20 dollar you wont regret it . +620 Flashlight POS 5 I truly belive that this be the best flashlight available . the small size of it make it perfect for task such as install something like you tv or sound equipment , find something you drop behind some furniture , inside you car , at the office . also be very bright and the ` candle ' mode , enable you to be hand free . but its small enough to keep it in you mouth . my brother be a DJ and keep it all night in he mouth so he can see what he be do . great product . +836 Flashlight NEG 1 have this flashlight for a while , use it only a couple of time and when I need to use it today it would turn on and flicker off when I tilted it . replace the battery and now it will not event turn on . be able to get it to turn on for a couple of second by adjust the battery cap , but will not stay it on , and I never even drop it or abuse it like I do with the old incandescent aa maglite . then after read the warranty I find out that the led be not cover so if the bulb burn out , you be leave with a useless aluminum battery holder . not on par with the Maglite tradition . +307 Flashlight POS 5 this flashlight be versatile and give bright light and be lightweight to use . as you would expect from DEWALT , this flashlight be worth the purchase price of $ 29 that I pay for it on Amazon . excelent work light or to have around the house . +507 Flashlight POS 5 I have own my Mag Charger for about 15 year . I be a mechanic so it see constant use for the first 10 of those year . it be endure abuse beyond belief . countless drop onto concrete . I once drop it from the top of a cab-over tractor . it burn out the bulb and that be all . after year and year of use it be begin to get dim . yeah that be right the original battery pack last till just a month ago . one of the cell finally die . the rubber seal on the switch have go crunchy after the year of exposure to brake cleaner and who know what . I order a new nihm battery from Amazon but could not find the correct rubber button . -lrb- Mine be the old style -rrb- I call Maglite . remember these baby be guarantee forever . that include the rubber part . mag send I a new button no charge . yeah that be it , not only be it the best flashlight in the world it be back by a real no b lifetime warranty by a no b company . you may find light that have more lumen or cost less . they be not worth it . this dude be ready for the long haul . if you be ready for a no b light then you be ready for a Mag Recharger . it will last and if it ever break Maglite will make it right . +31 Flashlight POS 5 the 2 c-cell maglight be durable and reliable . be a pilot I use a flashlight for all night flight . for safety 's sake I can not afford to have a flashlight with a flimsy switch , cheap construction etc. . Mag Instruments make a great light period . the 2 c-cell model be a bit large for the average kitchen drawer or auto glove compartment . but it work great for aviation and should be equally suit for boat , camp etc. . +36 Flashlight POS 5 my husband be a retired police officer and have be issue a mag light . since retirement , he have never be satisfy with any flashlight we have purchase . he would always complain that they be nothing compare to the mag light . I happen to see this on Amazon and it seem to be a good price -lrb- comparatively -rrb- so I purchase it for he and he be now happily reunite with a mag light . I have to admit that I have never see such a intense light and it certainly seem to be well construct . we be happy with the purchase . +243 Flashlight POS 5 Unreal , fantastic , unbelievably great just be sure to order a Replacement Lamp in case unintentionally contend and battery pack -lrb- additional -rrb- note this be a Halogen flashlight +421 Flashlight POS 5 I currently own three of these . they be great flashlight to have around . they be bright enough to get most job do , small enough to carry just about anywhere , and durable enough to take a beating . sure surefire flashlight be brighter but they be not as durable . I have even hear of people use these as self defense weapon . really heavy abuse may result in a very short bulb life but it carry a spare so you 'll have light again in no time . as far as the thread and o-ring go , a small amount of Vaseline apply to the thread will keep both the thread and the o-ring lubricate . +228 Flashlight POS 5 purchase a year go and love this little flashlight . I have it hang on my front door ona little hook , so I always know where it be . use it too many time to count , so nice to have one around . and aa battery last forever , still have not change mine . candle feature be so useful as well . if people ask I what flashlight to get , I immediately point to this maglite . +861 Flashlight POS 5 i have have this system before , , nothing , i mean nothing , be as bright or last longer than this rechargable mag . no more battery , , ever . +159 Flashlight POS 4 I have hear of MagLite for many year , but never actually own one -lrb- mainly because I be too cheap to pay $ 20 + for a flashlight -rrb- . when I find this new version of maglite sp2201h 2-aa Mini lead flashlight fortunately for I , this turn out to be a great purchase . about the LED : the light source be a Philips Luxeon rebel lead . it be call a ' 3w lead ' , but that be refer to its peak power . for steady-state operation the LED current be limit to 350ma , which mean it can only operate at about 1 watt -lrb- 350ma \* 3v -rrb- . if you ever try to run this led at 1000ma current -lrb- 1000ma \* 3v = 3w -rrb- , it could burn out within seconds . about the focus system : the beam be very bright -lrb- \* blindingly \* bright at short distance -rrb- but not quite focus . adjust the reflector can change the shape of the center bright spot slightly , but do not help much to focus it . about the power consumption : this flashlight use a internal regulator to run the lead on just two aa cell -lrb- unlike most cheap led flashlight which typically run on three aaa cell -rrb- . the light output be not constant when use alkaline -lrb- 1.5 v -rrb- or nimh -lrb- 1.25 v -rrb- cell . with two fresh alkaline cell , the battery current be about 500ma at 100 % power , 125ma at 25 % power . when the battery voltage drop below 2.5 v approximately , the input power be reduce to conserve energy -lrb- see the customer image section for my chart of `` Input Power vs. Battery Voltage '' -rrb- . this be much better than simply drop dead without warn , as some people have complain in older review -lrb- \* -rrb- . about the instruction -lrb- or the lack of it -rrb- : the maglite I receive say `` NEW Multi-Mode Electronic switch '' on the package -lrb- \* -rrb- . it further claim the flashlight can operate in four different mode -lrb- 100 % power \/ 25 % power \/ Blink \/ S.O.S. -rrb- however , there be absolutely no instruction on how to activate this `` electronic switch '' . after many attemot , I suspect that my unit must be defective , and be about to return it . but in the process of measure the battery current -lrb- which make and break contact with battery -rrb- , the led start blinking ! it finally dawn upon I that the on-off switch be also use to activate different mode : - when the flashlight be first turn on , it start in 100 % power mode - if you turn off the flashlight and turn it back on within 1-2 seconds , it advance to 25 % power mode . - follow short off\/on sequence advance it to ` blink ' mode and then be . O. S ' -lrb- ... -- ... -rrb- mode . - if you turn off the flashlight and wait at least 3 seconds before turn it back on , it start in 100 % power mode again . overall , I be very impress by this minus lead flashlight . but I can not help wonder : how many of they get return because people can not figure out how to activate its other mode ? -lrb- \* -rrb- footnote : the energy-management and multi-mode led function be new feature of this maglite . that be why they be not mention by older review write more than 6 month ago . +512 Flashlight POS 5 as a firefighter for over 40 year , I can say the mag-charger be one of the most dependalbe light I have ever use . my original , which I use for 15 year , be lose at a incident scene . I immediately order a new one . I have replace the battery stick only one time . it be mount in my vehicle and be always charge and ready to go . the service time from one charge be more that adequate for most incident . I highly recommend this product . +863 Flashlight POS 5 I need one of these to have my flashlight with I when work ... really cumbersome carry it in my backpocket ... especially when one have to do any climbing or co into crouch position . the clasp be very sturdy leather and the actual holder seem to be a hard plastic type material which can fold up against the clasp , conveniently , when not in use . +331 Flashlight POS 5 the photo be not current . this tool do come with the new square nano foot shape to fit the LI battery without overhang . still accept the nicd battery too and be slightly more stable on they due to extra size and weight of nicd battery . have storage for extra bulb , but do not come with extra bulb . +597 Flashlight POS 5 MAGLITE flashlight win I over about four year ago . Maglites work in rain and snow , be very bright and last a exceptionally long time . I originally get my maglite 6-d flashlight as a back up to my surefire 6p lead , however , the Maglite soon win I over . now I use th surefire as a backup to my maglite ! great flashlight , would recommend . +667 Flashlight POS 5 for a small flashlight that use aa 's , this thing be bright . I also like that additional and useful accessory that you can purchase separately . +65 Flashlight POS 4 maglite be the best flashlight one could ever buy !!! this flashlight be super durable and great for all type of activity and use . this be definately the flashlight to buy if you be look for one that will with stand all type of condition . +480 Flashlight POS 5 we get this handy light for camping & love its sleek style & good source of light . keep a strong light for long & not super heavy for convenience . +445 Flashlight POS 5 Got this flashlight -lrb- mag instrument heavy duty -rrb- for my husband . we look at so many different store only to find cheap plastic one that really do not have the lighting function he want . find this one on Amazon and he love it . it be heavy weight , have two beam , small one and a larger one for when you want more light . battery use be great . he keep it in the kitchen for quick finding . sure glad I come to Amazon . they normally have what I be look for . +460 Flashlight NEG 1 both my wife and my electrician manage to break a pair of these . unless you be really careful when set the light in place , they give away . it be the cheapest of plastic and do not take a beating . +561 Flashlight POS 5 I grow up know about my grandfather and he large Maglite flashlight that he always trust , so I have always believe in the quality of they product . this maglite , while much smaller , do not disappoint . it be rugged , and have not eat battery . I be very happy with this flashlight and I especially recommend it for carry on you person . +681 Flashlight NEU 3 my wife and I have use minus Maglites for year , and in general we like they . but today she want to replace a battery , and the battery be stick , it just refuse to budge , and there be no easy way to get it out . you can not push it out from the lamp end . the Maglite company will fix or replace it if you pay the postage to ship it to they . try to bang the battery loose do not work -- it only give I a sore shoulder . +320 Flashlight NEG 2 I have own a variety of high-end flashlight over the year and at one time work as a Sheriff 's Sergeant in a major metropolitan area . in that line of work a bright flashlight be a tool of the trade , and be carry at all time , even during the day . a belt holder for a flashlight should keep the flashlight securely attach to the belt and allow the user to rapidly deploy and replace the flashlight with a minimum of fuss . it should allow the flashlight the freedom to swing and swivel to accommodate sit in a vehicle and\/or ride a snomobile , atv or similar conveyance . this belt holder only accomplish the first objective . while it do hold the flashlight securely , it tend to bind if one attempt to remove the flashlight without use a second hand to hold the ring perpendicular to the flashlight body and a second hand be require to hold the ring perpendicular to the flashlight body to return the flashlight to it be holstered position . the ring also have only limited freedom to allow the flashlight to swing forwards and backwards to clear obstacle and vehicle steat and saddle . for casual use this product be ok . but for professional use , the product 's single-axis swinging ring design detract from it be usefullness . if you be serious about a flashlight holster , buy one of the all-leather product that have a ring that be soft and compliant and hold itself at 90 degree to the belt ring . these can be obtain at a police equipment supply . +952 Flashlight POS 5 I get the 4d lead mag-lite recently . I be very satisfied . it be deliver two day ahead of schedule , and the flashlight be awesome , durable , and bright . what more do you want ? my dad be always get these cheap flashlight ... he be go to be jealous when he see this . it be very nice , bright , and it make that satisfy `` click '' when you turn it on . +918 Flashlight POS 5 to start , I be a tradesman who have to carry he lifeline on he belt . not only on the job , but I be also the unnofficial handyman of this apartment complex . every time I even move to take my workbelt off , it seem to be a signal for a neighbor to bang on the wall say something be on fire or will not open all the way . and the Mini mag be the universal flashlight . it be sell everywhere , include this fine site and even family store , and despite its legendary quality and design , be at the most ten dollar with include holster . I prefer the classic aa design , where CA not you find aa ? I have use one of these on my belt for about four year . it be a excellent tool , and I have never have one wear out on I . the bulb , however , be the Achilles heel . the rest of the flashlight be military , police and trade quality , for civilian price . but these dang bulb go orange after a couple week and last a couple month of casual use . I be consider shell out forty buck for a small led , just to save the money on bulb . then , walk through a sport outlet , I pass the flashlight section . and next to the usual Mini mag with holster , which I own close to six of , be a Nite ize accessory design for this same flashlight . a lead bulb . now , I have see these online for about twenty to thirty buck , and this be a ten dollar flashlight ! but this one just sit around on a shelf be eight buck , about a buck less than the flashlight 's shelf price . what the heck , I get one . to quote another review , my trusty old mag be now a state-of-the-art torch , with nearly triple battery life of the old bulb . and led , as all mag-hater know , do not burn out or even go out when bump . so , for a total of twenty buck , you get a american-quality led beam that compete and plain out whip fifty-dollar import with plastic casing . I would not recomend this flashlight if there be not there be a way to fix its biggest flaw . just get you hand on this led adapter , and put it in like you would the standard bulb . replace the mirror reflector , and stomp the old bulb into powder . you will not be need they , ever again . there be also a combo pack availiable , for the same price , that include a push-button adapter if you have ever wish you could tap a red button on the end instead of twist it on and off . I have not try it , but it come with the LED , and for eight buck ? and hey , the flashlight itself come in six different color . these thing be easily replace if one get bang up or you room-mate\/girlfriend draw all over it with sharpie while she be on the phone . I have have these work perfectly even they have be through Hades and back , but some prefer a more formal-looking flashlight . just take the lead out and put it in the new one , those bulb last forever . and now , so will this flashlight . +789 Flashlight POS 5 this be my favorite mag-lite purchase . those of we who have use the Mini-mags over the year have learn to live with dim light and unexceptional battery life , but gladly trade that for its durability and quality construction . this light change all that . unlike led upgrade -lrb- and even the maglite c and d cell lead light -rrb- , this flashlight be design to be use with a lead bulb , which be evidence by its elongate head . the result be a very bright light , with almost no `` black hole '' when on wide flood . its output be very similar to the regular -lrb- krypton -rrb- 3 c\/d cell light , but in a much smaller package . what be interesting be the proportion be similar to the 6d cell , which give it some use as a defensive weapon , for those so inclined . I do have a gripe about the pricing - $ 10 less would be nice . however , it be make in America and it be tough as nail . my only caveat be this be at least 30 % longer than the 2aa mini-mag , and therefore do not fit quite as easily into purse , pocket , & c. but lighting and battery life be significantly longer . +373 Flashlight POS 5 I strap my mag on the rollbar of my Wrangler , hide behind the strap for the shoulder seat belt . no one notice so it be safe and it do not use up precious storage for a wrangler . I have use mag for year and know I can count on they when I need they . Great , dependable , tough product provide the security a flashlight should give . +548 Flashlight POS 4 it sure be nice have a flash light that I always know there be a fresh battery in . this be the case because I have multiple of the 12-volt DeWalt battery and always keep one on the unplugged charger fully charge and ready to swap out for a dead battery . this flashlight be well balanced and feel nice in the hand and turn on and off easily with the thumb of the hand hold the light . my only complaint be that it eat the battery up pretty fast . I be unable to make a run to the outhouse and back without the flashlight go dead -lrb- or at least very dim -rrb- . and I do not stay seat long . I end up turn it off while seat . +959 Flashlight POS 5 Great for a belt tool and daily use . need a rubber bottom for when you need to put it in you mouth when work so you do not chip a tooth . the 3 watt lead bulb be very bright . +930 Flashlight POS 5 this be a great flashlight , very bright for its size , very solid a great item indeed . +198 Flashlight POS 4 I have always use maglite -lrb- still do -rrb- but even they be not perfect . I have have small one die rather quickly & even this one die due to poor contact with the charger . I would jiggle it until the red charge light come on but how long it last be random so when I need it , it rarely work . I think they quality control can use a swift kick . +136 Flashlight POS 4 the light be bright enough for the average application it be small enough to keep in a draw you should have a few in different area of you home in case of a power failure reasonably price +240 Flashlight POS 4 the first time I use one of these be on a hike trip in the Grand Canyon . I be amaze how bright it be . my only two complaint about these be : 1 -rrb- while they be very tough when the battery be install , do not drop one while it be empty . the battery must help strengthen the tube . I drop mine and the tube dent easily . I could not get it round enough again to reload the battery . I have to buy a new one . 2 -rrb- do not let you battery get old . they fit so snuggly in the tube and if they swell or leak , you 'll never get they out . +3 Flashlight POS 5 excellent flashlight that will withstand the hard knock at a construction site . we use it to inspect down deep into the form wall -lrb- shutter -rrb- at U.S. Embassy Construction Sites . +595 Flashlight POS 5 I have have my 6d maglite for about 10 year now and still shine as bright and work as well as when I buy it . I go through a set of battery about every 2 year on average . dollar for dollar , this be the best flashlight . for $ 20 , it be very bright , battery last long enough , and it be also a intimidating clubber if worst come to worst . it be no wonder why law enforcement use Maglites . I would recommend this flashlight to anyone and everyone . affordable , durable , bright , and a self defense weapon if need to be . +977 Flashlight POS 5 over the year I have own many maglite product always find they to be the best of the best as flashlight go . +383 Flashlight POS 4 very easy and simple to install . hold the maglite very secure and in the open and conceal . +627 Flashlight POS 5 I be very pleased with my order . ship be fast and the quality of my item be just as nice as advertise . I will be buy again . . be a army family we ONLY WANT the best and this past our test . . +449 Flashlight POS 5 even tho I do not use on a maglite this bracket work just fine on the flashliight I do use it for . go up easy and hold well ; on a boat no less . Dan +244 Flashlight POS 5 pro : comfortable to hold and point focusable , not that I ever use anything but pinpoint focus . but a #ell of a lot better than the ` average focus ' beam most flashlight be permanently fix in . this focus ability allow a very tight bright beam that cut through shadow and allow you to see clearly what you be look at , within reason . for example , I have use this flashlight on Boy Scout camping trip , include the summer weeklong ` exhaust the adult ' trip . the beam be tight enough that across the camp site -lrb- 50-75yds -rrb- I can not only see who\/what be cause a ruckus , I can target specific lad -lrb- s -rrb- so they know I have a good idea of the ruckus cause and cease they disruptive action . several kid have comment that the flashlight be the brightest they have have point at they -lrb- good to know , since it indicate they have not be target by the 4-6 cell maglight favor by police -rrb- . store very well . I keep a saddlebag arrangement across my center console and my flashlight sit right within reach without lean . I do warn folk , that battery do not like to cook or freeze and do not last as long when leave in the vehicle . I have replace the battery more often because they be old than because I use the light too much . this include a couple of month long trip where the flashlight be use daily . I confess to replace the battery halfway through the month because I think I should rather than I need to . I have not use the flashlight continually for eight-twelve hour stretch as a traffic coordinator would , but I have use it a lot for 2-3 hour stretch during these trip . in any case , the battery last a long time in these light . con : the flashlight bulb be rate for 36 hour . there be a peak brightness period and a slow dim down . if the flashlight be dim on fresh quality battery , you need to replace the bulb . -lrb- or you leave the battery in a sun cook car too often\/long -rrb- . by quality battery , I mean the high end brand name one . not the bargain store , gray market , or expire one . if you use these latter battery , you deserve a dim flashlight ; blame yourself , not the flashlight . if you buy brand name battery at a bargain store ` CHECK the BEST use by date ! ' there may be a reason they be cheap . I convert a couple to use led bulb . I be not not thrill . I be happy in the converted one be my emergency light and I leave they -lrb- like fire extinguisher -rrb- leave alone for long period of time . when I check they -lrb- prior to a big storm -rrb- I be more interested in make sure the battery have not go bad . the focus ability be very restricted with led and the light seem less bright -lrb- possibly becasue I can not focus a tight spot beam -rrb- . I do not like the belt fastener -lrb- a loop of cord work as well -rrb- and put this flashlight in you pocket be unwieldy -lrb- and make you pants slip -rrb- . so either the flashlight be hold , lay down or put away -lrb- like in a overhead pack pocket , saddlebag or drawer -rrb- . it would be nice if there be some flatter side to keep the flashlight stable when lay down so one can aim the light to see and then use both hand . +972 Flashlight POS 5 outstanding value . the beam be very bright and outshine the vast majority of flashlight . a great tool for farm or ranch chore . +785 Flashlight POS 5 I first encounter this flashlight during a `` ride along '' with a police officer friend of mine . for a few week , while I be consider become a reserve police officer , the local police department be nice enough to allow I to ride along with my friend Dave , who be a police officer for we local department . all they police car have the mag rx1019 's wire into the patrol car . now , I have have mag flash light -lrb- the battery power kind -rrb- over the year . however , when I first see my friend light up the night with the rx1019 , I could not believe how bright it be ! I ask he what sort of flash light it be and he show I it be a rechargeable mag . I be sort of shock ; after all , my mag light look the same -lrb- san the recharge stuff -rrb- , but be not even half as bright . Dave explain it be because the mag light in the car be always fully charge . wow , what a difference . after a few month of ride along , I decide against become a police officer . however , I do end up buy several of the mag rx1019 flash light . I even buy one for my Dad for Xmas . let I tell you , this be about the best flash light you can buy . it be always charge and ready to go - you never have to look for battery . it be super bright and really do a amazing job light up the night . in fact , it be practically like have a car headlight in you hand ! : - -rrb- that be how bright this thing be . the flash light really take a beating and be very well make . you can also buy aftermarket nimh battery if\/when need and these not only have no `` memory effect '' , but double the charge capacity . overall , short of spend hundred of dollar , this be the best flash light money can buy in my opinion . I use mine constantly . I live out in the forest and this flash light work great for light up the night and\/or when you want to shine it up into a distant tree to find a owl , etc. . if you be look for a top quality flash light , this be the one to get . I would give it 10 star if I could . . that be how fantastic a light it be . +962 Flashlight POS 4 it carry a d cell flashlight well . what more can be say . +135 Flashlight POS 5 this flashlight be awesome . it be just about 2 foot long . it could easily be use defensively since it look like a baseball bat flashlight . it put out 160 luke which be great for this more natural look light . great buy and very happy . +370 Flashlight NEU 3 do not produce the narrow-focused beam as describe . it do light up the night . as a weapon - excellent ! +676 Flashlight POS 5 this be simply the best flash light I have ever use . really like the light focus feature and solid feel . +309 Flashlight POS 5 great flashlight , it remember I when I be young . I do the purchase for a experiment , hope lead maglite exist . +701 Flashlight POS 4 it be a maglite . that name still mean something for I . I except a solid flashlite that be brite . that be exactly what I get . I do feel my older 2 cell maglite be as bright all while take up less battery and space but this be still a great high quality flashlight . please be aware of how big a 4 d cell flashlight be . I feel safer hold it walk along while camping because it can almost be use a `` police baton '' type device or bat . hopefully that be never need . +177 Flashlight POS 5 I have use these before , but the price here be great . mag have figure just the right tension on the clip to hold the flashlight secure , yet make it easy to grab often . I have use these for several year . I have try other , but these be the best . +466 Flashlight POS 5 I must say i be really impressed with this product . I be a police man and i find this light to be really handy and useful , and the light be just great and bright . this minimag can really throw a bright beam a good distance !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! +267 Flashlight POS 5 the maglite -lrb- any size -rrb- make a great gift for folk of all age . I recently buy two Maglite Minis for my child . -lrb- my husband have a maglite that have be around for a very long time . -rrb- we have go around and around with other flashlight that just do not hold up to the rigourous outdoor play that my boy be use they for . these have last already through bump and smash and they have really hold up . they come with a extra bulb and with the first set of battery . they be also make in the USA . a flashlight make to last . +690 Flashlight POS 5 I recently buy one of the 3 c cell mag-lite and I love it . it feel great in you hand , and have a light beam that be much better than my 2 d incandescent cell maglite , and almost as bright as my 3 d incandescent mag . I recently buy a 3 c\/d lead maglite upgrade , and really love it . it now produce about the same beam of light as my 3 d cell lead maglite , and be brighter than my 2 d cell lead mag . I love the way this flashlight feel in my hand . it be much lighter and be easier to carry than any of my d cell flashlight , and as I have say with the lead upgrade the beam of light be outstanding . I guess Maglite decide not to make a 3 c cell lead flashlight because it would take away from the two d and 3 d cell lead maglite , but I sure wish they have . because this and the 2 c cell flashlight with the led upgrade be simply outstanding , and much easier to carry and stow . but even without the led upgrade this be a great flashlight that really surprise I on it be weight , size , and with the very bright light that it produce . in fact it be almost as bright as a 3 d cell incandescent maglite flashlight , and brighter than the 2 d with or without the led upgrade , and as I mention this flashlight have a outstanding weight and circumference make it easy to carry while hike or any other circumstance where you might need to carry a flashlight at night for awhile , or to keep it in you car or truck . again my wife love hers , and I just buy one for myself and now we have the led upgrade for both , and believe they 'll last forever , besides produce a blinding amount of light with or without the led upgrade . but I would highly recommend upgrade this flashlight with the mag lead upgrade kit . the battery will last at least twice as long , and the beam be 100 % brighter than the incandescent version . +845 Flashlight POS 5 I just purchase this light today . wow be it bright . I also have a Brinkman Q Beam Max Million rechargable 1,000,000 candlepower spot light that be cumbersome and weigh a ton , which I compare to the DeWalt dw908 this evening . I think the Brinkman be really bright , but the dw908 be quite a bit brighter , and light up a larger area . it be more like a floodlight than it be a flashlight . also come with storage for a extra bulb . great product ! +289 Flashlight POS 5 third-party supplier be lousy performer by send rx2019 which have no 110 volt charge unit , then lie about it as be a superior quality and more costly unit . +430 Flashlight POS 5 why buy a 4d mag , when you can get a six ! feel the power , the weight , the superiority of six d battery ! upgrade to a lead bulb have the ultimate MagLite Torch ! +389 Flashlight POS 5 I have be look for relatively affordable replacement bulb for a Ryobi 18V rechargeable flashlight . it be literally impossible to find a real Ryobi product , but I read , in another review , that these work in the Ryobi . they do , indeed . I have not use any of these for any time at all , but i do verify that they work in the Ryobi , and I be thrill to have some replacement now . the original bulb burn out almost immediately , and they replace it ` under warranty ' , but I be concern about he fragility of the OEM bulb . glad to have find a replacement such that the flashlight will have a use if another bulb fail . +362 Flashlight POS 5 I buy this for my dad for Christmas . he be already put it to use while hunting . a lot of people mention that they do not recieve all the piece with thier flashlight . I open the box to charge the flashlight before I wrap it . everything be in my box . it be a very bright light , and the flashlight be super heavy duty . I be not sure how long the charge truly last since I have not use it that long . good product ! I be sure my dad will put it to use for many year . +616 Flashlight NEG 2 I buy this really want to like it , because I have a big set of 18v tool and a collection of battery , and several of the other light that I be happy with . but , it do not really `` carry '' comfortably , to carry it while walk around outside -lrb- I to live in a rural area will no street light -rrb- you have either get to hold it out in front of you -lrb- which be kinda tire on the arm -rrb- or twist the light around to shine straight `` up '' so that it can be hold as a normal flashlight , but then the battery hang off the back keep it way off balance . so , the ergonomics be not great , I would be willing to work around they if the bulb do not blow out at the smallest tumble . and , then they want over $ 9 for a pair -lrb- amazon.com pricing , good luck find they in the store -rrb- . I really wish they make a decent led light to use the 18v battery . I be not go to start buy dewalt tool that use a different battery any time soon , if ever . +141 Flashlight NEU 3 this be the great flashlight for the cost . it be very bright , and the focus beam be very useful . they claim it be waterproof . I drop mine in water and it still work , kind-of . it be very dim and practically useless . grant , it sit in the water for about 5 minute , and it have a ph of 11 , so I think it go beyond the intended exposure . it 'll last forever in you garage , but if you be buy it for industrial use , do not expect it to last forever . +879 Flashlight POS 5 this thing be a boss ... nice to keep in the truck for hour of light or as a club be necessary . Mine recently disapear from my truck , I suspect my friend ... not of a ton of light output , but it can be focus , and the thing last forever with 4d battery , do not buy a 3d ... man up and get the 4d , if nothing else just so you can say you do not back down , and who want to use a odd number of battery ... +429 Flashlight NEG 2 I think I buy a very powerfull flashlight but I be very disappointed . I have a 3-d cell flashlight that be better . +44 Flashlight NEU 3 this product be exactly what the description state . the clip be not extremely strong , but will get the job do under normal use . probably the best option for mount a maglite to a surface . +368 Flashlight NEU 3 the MAGLITE Solitaire Flashlight be a older design that for many flashlight enthusiast be no longer relevant in a world of multifunctional led , high output lumen of light . while the Solitaire be not the latest or greatest flashlight I believe that it be still useful under the right circumstance . for I , I use this light as part of a first aid kit within my Maxpedition janus Extension Strap Pocket KHAKI FOLIAGE the light be connect to a paracord lanyard that I make and fit perfectly in the bottom of the janus in a little pocket . the reason I like this flashlight be specifically because it be not too bright yet provide enough light to see all the contents of my first aid kit when in a low light situation . also , I can use this light safely to check pupillary reaction time . some of the new lead high power flashlight provide too much light . the Solitaire be small , lightweight , and durable . I have never experience a situation where the light twist on or off by itself . it take one aaa battery and I always carry a minimum of one spare battery . bulb life and battery life have never be a issue . you can twist the top of the light to adjust the light from a focused beam to flood but the flood setting be very weak and provide a ring effect . there be a time when mag light be the best you can buy but that day be long go . now there be many company make very high quality , very durable flashlight with multiple setting and function . you can also spend literally hundred of dollar on just one high quality flashlight . if you be in a situation where you do not need the brightest light then do not discount the Solitaire as it may very well suit you need at a very low price . +762 Flashlight NEU 3 have a 2 cell aa mag for 25 year , and decide to get another one and stage it at the other end of the house since power go out frequently in this area . I buy the lead think it would be ` much ' brighter and more powerful . it be not . compare both , with new battery and bulb in the old mag , the LED be only 10 % brighter with its whiter color light . it do project a perfect beam without distortion and illuminate a bit better outside . Quality be up to mag standard . supposedly , the battery last longer , but it will have to save a lot of battery and bulb to justify the cost . if you use it ` very ' frequently , it may be worth it . if not , the old style be just fine . I do prefer the slightly smaller size of the standard non-led mag . +978 Flashlight NEG 1 I be very dissappointed with this item . do not last a day . the Streamlight Adjust-a-Clamp be vastly superior . stainless steel construction and it be CHEAPER too . my current streamlight set have be in heavy constant use in my truck for over 15 year . the rubber have wear off a few time but it still hold my flashlight ! customer who be unhappy with the mag instrument product should check out the streamlight clamp . +974 Flashlight POS 5 a very bright and clear light . the car charger make it perfect for travel\/camping . +254 Flashlight POS 4 the official DeWalt seal packaging say that the bulb be make in Japan . Amazon 's packaging be sturdy . I include a couple of picture . the filament look nearly perfect as you can see . I do some serious soldering . the filament connection look strange to I , but other can judge for themselves . overall , the bulbs\/packaging look fine , buy this product be a bright idea . plan to use it in my Bosch 10.8 \/ 12 volt flashlight . good luck and have fun . +76 Flashlight POS 5 product arrive fast and protect well . I will for sure do business again . flashlight be actually brighter than my maglite 2 d cell . I will be order the lead upgrade to increase the brightness even more . +334 Flashlight POS 5 I buy a 3-d cell maglite for a hike trip in the nc mountain in 2003 - to this day , it be still my go-to flashlight . Great build quality , good battery life , good focus ability , and the ability to hunt small mammal if need be ; what else can you ask for ? in the future , I probably will pick up a lead light of some kind , but I be not get rid of the original mag anytime soon . +500 Flashlight POS 5 if you want only 1 flashlight this be the one to get . for its size the brightest light on the market . the best part be that it be rechargable . this light be build like a tank ! you do not have to wonder why 95 % of all law enforcement and rescue folk grab this light for the work they do . dual recharger for home and car . heavy duty ... you bet ! +532 Flashlight POS 5 Got this on time and I buy 2 . one for my dad and 1 for my brother in law . I be sure theyll love it . it be pretty strong and the power of the light be also v. good . good brand to trust on . +34 Flashlight POS 5 these flashlight be great . I have be do facility maintenance for a educational program for over 10 year . a major part of this job be unclogg and repair drain , perform minor electrical repair , etc. . I rely on my Eveready Industrial flashlight all the time . they be very rugged , produce a bright long lasting light and be comfortable to hold . the on and off switch be firm and reside in a shallow plastic trough which greatly reduce the chance of it be inadvertently turn on in you tool box . how many time have you go to use a flashlight whose battery be dead because the unit be accidentally turn on ? for the price , these flashlight can not be beat ! +163 Flashlight POS 4 I like this alot , particularly for check out thing that go bump in the night ; however , I do recommend that you get the terralux lead replacement `` bulb '' for it , as it be much brighter and with 6 d cell run forever -lrb- ... well -rrb- . +829 Flashlight POS 5 if you be sick of constantly buy battery , and never have a flashlight handy , buy this gem . it be awesome , especially if you already have sink a few hundred into other dewalt product and wish you could use those battery for something else ! it be bright and take a beating ! +668 Flashlight NEG 1 these be cool once , but by today 's standard the light output be very poor . my surefire and Arc flashlight be much brighter , more robust and a fraction of the size . +283 Flashlight POS 5 be use one of these for so long I do not know when I get the previous one . lose the last one by accident , be cursing myself ever since . I keep one of these on I wherever I go , always handy . I like the traditional non-led version because the beam be focusable . I buy the Nite-Ize on\/off switch to go with this one so that it do not accidentally turn on and waste battery . +842 Flashlight POS 4 I buy this flashlight because I want to find crack in my basement with a high power light . yes , this work . now that that be fix , I be go to use it for the upcome Hurricane . at Wal \* Mart , they be sell those flashlight with battery , soooo cheap ! but this one be awesome ! stronger , last longer , and it have a rechargeable battery ! highly recommend . 4-star only because I do not use it everyday , just when necessary . +502 Flashlight NEG 2 I have have two of these and they have be nothing but a huge disappointment . within several month with both light , the internal contact begin to get corroded and I have to take the light apart to clean then in order for it to work . I have to repeatedly do this every few week . I also have brand new battery on several occasion leak within a very short period of time in both light . the light be always keep in the house and be never expose to adverse weather condition . I be guess it be some type of reaction with the type of metal use in the light since battery from the same package work fine and never leak in other device . these light appear sturdy and well construct , but they lack of reliability be very frustrating and both of mine eventually go in the trash and I would never buy another one . when you need a flashlight in a emergency and it tend usually not to work , it be very frustrating . +831 Flashlight NEG 1 I use the flashlight 3 time . the bulb burn out and the replacement also fail . I smell burn material . should I contact dewalk for replacement +472 Flashlight POS 5 a great product for the price . I have have these in the past and have find they highly useful . this will be helpful when I be do my volunteer work . +210 Flashlight POS 5 I have have a 2aa cell Mini Maglite for several year now . through this time , I have drop it a lot , but each time , the only damage be scratch . it be so durable that you can just throw it on the ground purposely and it will not be obliterate ! the holster be a nice addition so that you can have easy acce when you be in a tight situation . the candle feature be very useful , especially for camping -lrb- or night reading -rrb- . also , it be water proof ! I never have to worry while use it in the rain . overall , this product be very useful . with its size and capability , it proove worthy to be own by anyone , no matter what there job be . note : another good mag product be the 4d cell light . +14 Flashlight POS 4 the name `` Maglite '' have always be , to I synonymous with quality -- I have be wear this one on my belt for several year now . it be small , light-weight and have a powerful light for something this small . the beam be quite bright for a flashlight this size , and the `` candle '' mode be a nifty feature -lrb- especially when the end of the flashlight fit into the upended top -rrb- . it help I more than once , especially when in a crowded elevator during a minor power outage . my parting comment to all who be in this elevator with I - `` why do not you have a flashlight with you ? '' my only gripe -- the nylon belt-sheath , which be durable -- not only allow the flashlight to fall out in some situation , but it do not keep the rotate head of the flashlight protect . more than once someone have come up to I to say `` Umm ... you belt be all light up !! '' I solve that problem by sew a -lrb- rip-stopped -rrb- strip of nylon onto the top of the sheath -lrb- back to front -rrb- , and attach velcro to the end of the strip and to the front of the sheath , so now my maglite stay securely in the sheath . would I buy aother Maglite ? sure ! I would like to eventually buy the whole family of Maglites -- from tiny to huge . they do the job and do it well . +590 Flashlight NEG 1 I want a mag rechargeable flashlight for some time , but just could not justify the expense . well , I finally buy it , and what a dissappointment . I will say , it be a excellent flashlight when it work . I get all of 5 minute out of it when I first use it . I diagnose the problem as a fail bulb , as I could clearly see the filament be break . I order a replacement which be NOT CHEAP . it too last 5 minute , and yes , I know enought not to touch the bulb with my bare finger while install . buy two more bulb next time around , and you guess it , about 5 minute use for each . so , all total about $ 125 for 20 minute of light . Run from this deal . +493 Flashlight POS 5 okay , so a aa power torch be not go to illuminate a room , but these minus mag list torch be incredibly handy to have around all the same . I have a black version for my office and a silver version in my car . what make they so useful be that they be very reliable and very simple to use . my black torch get a frequent workout when I be hunting around under the desk unplug wire , or when I have open a computer case and need to see inside it . I have only use the silver one a few time , but it be reassure to keep in the glove box of the car in case I get a flat tyre . I be amaze by the `` candle mode '' that someone mention . I be play around with my torch while write this review and I would never see that feature before ! it be extremely handy to know and just reinforce my good impression of this device . +438 Flashlight POS 5 it be the perfect flashlight . it be small and handy . I buy it for my husband to take to work and it fit on he belt . it be a very bright light . +32 Flashlight POS 4 I buy this flashlight along with few other stuff to qualify for free shipping . it be worth for the money I pay for . +584 Flashlight POS 5 when I be a NYC police officer , many cop be get these to carry on patrol . they be excellent flashlight , virtually indestructable , fairly small in size but very bright . I definitely recommend this flashlight for safety and convenience . diff --git a/train/GPS.txt b/train/GPS.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..31b604b78fbd3a16d356c666eb8a5eb306e13bc5 --- /dev/null +++ b/train/GPS.txt @@ -0,0 +1,701 @@ +740 GPS POS 5 we origionally purchase a garmin 205 on sale for $ 199 plus tax . then , my sister tell I she just buy a garmin 350 for $ 248 online .

I believe the rubber cup be just to hard and brittle to form any kind of suction to mount gp to windshield . +443 GPS POS 4 debate for some month before buy this `` watch '' -- a inadequate name for a runner 's toolkit whether a beginner or a veteran . read complaint about slow Satellite location but for I location be prompt , 30 seconds at most , and the GPS provide very reliable metric . Watch display be easy to to see even in low light and with my hazy vision ; but it be also lightweight with a wide well-ventilated band and good water resistance if you run in the rain . Buttons -- only four ; good-size ; easy to use and well-separated on the case so you press what you mean to press . Manual 's direction work easily . still more function to try e.g. heart rate monitoring and computer tracking of run . but the watch also store history of run for awhile include time , distance , rate , calorie , date , etc. which be great . I would have love a mapping function for use while I be travel -- but that be hundred more in expense and be not in my budget . a great solution for my need -- almost perfect and very reasonable -- deliver in day from the date of order . +711 GPS POS 5 purchase this when i break my wrist and have to start run to keep in shape . i hate running , but this watch really give I inspiration to go put some mile on my foot . i like know how far i have run , and what my pace be . the real fun start when i go home and download my workout onto my computer . so much information to cull over . highly recommend if you walk\/run or even bike . +446 GPS POS 4 the unit I receive from Amazon quit work just before the 30 day return period .

I suspect this unit get return because it be act erratic , but it be miss or ignore by Amazon . basically I think the Garmin GPS unit be fine ; I be just annoy with Amazon . +840 GPS POS 4 this be a really good option if you want a smaller watch that still give you pace and distance . only downside be , as far as I can tell , you can only get you current pace vs have it display the run avg . page as you can with a garmin 305 or 405 . so the display pace change frequently . but the distance measurement be quite accurate and you final avg . pace display will be spot on . +511 GPS POS 5 1 . script : Easy Consumer Friendly internet order !!!!! 2 .

I do my research and try to narrow it down to the one I want and decide on this one . I absolutely love that it have lifetime FREE map and traffic . that be the decide factor because I 'll never have to worry about it be out of date , have the wrong road -lrb- if they have change -rrb- , or actually not have new road or development . so that be the reasoning behind I get this -lrb- also be a very satisfied former owner of one , I would never change to another company for navigation -rrb- . now we 'll get to the good stuff ... actually own and use it . I do not think I could be much more impressed with this one over the last one I have because the last one I have be the absolute highest top of the line one they have and always work very well -lrb- but just be out of date -rrb- . but this thing somehow blow that one away believe it or not . they have add so many helpful feature and have really make the user experience near flawless . the lane assist be great ! I love how the screen movement be much more accurate and smoother . I also find it amazing in term of how fast it know where I be after be off for a while and then start it up in a totally different place . some people I know who own very cheap GPS 's always complain they take forever to locate where they be so they can start that navigation process . but this thing , so far , have be incredible and almost within seconds locate the satellite which get I on my way much faster than lower end one . also , my previous version do not have a screen quite this big and the inch difference make a huge difference to be honest . it be so easy to read and view while drive . for those of you who might be consider this as you first gp device I must say ... GO for it ! you will absolutely love Garmin ... they be truly the best at what they do . this unit feature read out direction that prompt you at just the perfect time -lrb- not too early and not too late -rrb- and then remind you again as it get a little closer . the readout of even some of the oddest street name be often very good -lrb- or very funny if that , but you still know what it be say -rrb- . it also have a lot of great other feature that be perfect for road trip or even just a weekend joy ride . the point of interest on this unit be incredible as well . that be the one little complaint I have about the older version ... it do not do a great job of find POI 's that be not somewhat close to where I currently be . but this one will find they almost no matter where they be and it do it much quicker than I would think . so that be a major plus as well . since I usually only use my unit when I be go to -lrb- or drive home from -rrb- place that I be not familiar with , I do not use it for daily driving and have not have a chance to experience the traffic update . from what I have read and hear from other who own a garmin with traffic update , it be pretty good at reroute you around the traffic , but I can not vouch for that personally as I have not use it in that scenario yet . the only place I usually hit traffic be go to or come home from work and I do not use the unit at those time since I know probably 10 different way to get home and they be all clog with traffic . but I have hear they work pretty well for that and will update this at some point if I have a positive or negative thing to say about the traffic feature . I hope I have hit the topic you may have be wonder about if you be read review . I can not say that I use this to the fullest extent base on all the amazing feature it have , because like I have mention , I do not use it on a regular basis . but I will say the 10 or so time I have use it in the last month after receive it , I have be super impressed and love it . it be just so great to know that I 'll never be lose or have any issue find my way . it be a great feeling to know that and Garmin have be my trust and rely upon choice for over 7 year now . I would highly recommend Garmin to anyone , and more speicifically this unit . +86 GPS NEG 1 540s WTE do not progress beyond the start-up screen . 3hr of troubleshooting and reformat fail to cure . hour hold on the telephone to Tomtom to get a rma number . three email series of qanda from Tomtom . lousy , lousy customer service . still stick with the unit . come ON Tomtom ! +399 GPS POS 4 this be a must have for the Geomate jr. . Order they together because there be so may cache be hide all the time they only way to stay on top of they be with the update cable . I have a little trouble get the driver for it , that take some effort . however I be use google chrome -lrb- not support yet -rrb- I switch to Internet Explorer and it work with out a glitch . +231 GPS NEG 1 boater : if you be look for a handheld GPS for marine purpose , you need to be aware that this model come out of the box with a base-loaded database that include almost nothing in the way of aid to navigation . while the older map76 model include a database of coastal navigational aid -lrb- buoy , light , nun , can , whistle , gong , lighthouse , etc -rrb- , this model do not include any of these . if you turn on this model and scroll over to Boston Harbor or San Francisco Bay , it will show you where the water be and where the land begin , but nothing more . no navigational aid whatsoever . yes , it will give you lat\/lon fix like any gp . and it will give you speed and head information . but that be it . of course , Garmin tell you that you can purchase the detailed marine chart -lrb- they cost $ 100 - $ 200 each for just a single area ... in the Northeast , you would need to purchase many of these to get complete coverage -rrb- and this be understand . but most serious boater use detailed paper chart and\/or a plotter and do not need they handheld for that kind of detail . what a handheld be good for , however , be to show where you be in relation to a bell or a light you may be run toward in the fog or in the dark or in relation to a known waypoint . the old version -lrb- map 76 -rrb- give you these bell and light . this one do not . so unless you want to add many hundred of dollar to you $ 275 - $ 300 purchase price , this be the wrong model for a handheld gp as backup . get the older map 76 instead . for less than $ 200 , you will have more than you need as a helpful boater 's unit and no need to buy electronic chart . of course , the map 76 be B&W; and not color , possibly less sensitive , and lack all the bell and whistle . but it be WAY more simple to use . this map 76csx be very complicated because it have build in all the highway , hike , climb , geocach , urban feature and capability that you will never use . just figure out the setup take hour . bottom line ... Garmin be a great product . but if you be a serious boater -lrb- not want to drop a thousand on a complicated handheld -rrb- and someopne who navigate with paper chart or a regular chart plotter , you do not want this model ... you want the map76 . many sailor just want the peace of mind from a backup . this be not it . happy sailing +462 GPS POS 4 I choose to upgrade to this version assume that bigger be better . in this case it be not . I have all sort of problem with this gp right off the bat . however I finally give in and contact TomTom customer care . I be so glad I do . it seem the unit I receive just have some bug in it . the representative be so sweet , work through every question I have and with no hestiation do whatever be need to resolve my issue . they truly could not have make it any easier . I wish all place have such great customer service . on a side note in regard to anyone else that have a hard time tell if a destination be on the left or right . the unit do not actually say it but they can program it to show on the screen . +106 GPS POS 4 just buy the Garmin c320 . I love the product but here be a few suggest improvement . 1 -rrb- I be a Realtor so most of the address I be look up be in the same city . it would be nice if there be a default feature so I do not have to type in Texas , then the city name everytime . 2 -rrb- when enter address , the screen should give the option of a qwerty keyboard since most of we be more familiar with that . 3 -rrb- it would be really cool if we could download we contact from outlook into the gp under my address . if would be useful to have the info handy and just touch the address for direction . 4 -rrb- Wish the voice be not so robotic . she say the same thing . no reason she could not say it in a natural sound voice . I change my setting to the british accent call she MoneyPenny . other than that , this be a great product for a great price . Easy set up and use , great screen , good direction , nice mount , touch screen work perfectly , like the sd card , the restaurant , gas station be very useful , good clarity etc. . almost perfect . +948 GPS POS 5 I buy the 305 from Amazon over a month and a half ago . I be to run a 5k the next day and hadnt try the forerunner before . I go ahead and wear the forerunner for my first 5k just to see if it would be able to perform and I be pleasantly surprise at how well it do ! this be by far the best purchase I have make . I use it for my run everyday and upload my datum to connect . -lrb- ... -rrb- as soon as I come home . its so much easier to not wonder or guess how far you run and what you pace be since the forerunner do all the hard work for you . I have be able to enjoy my run and improve my endurance a lot more by track my heart rate and slow down when it touch 170 or higher ... I have never lose the satellite signal and I run mostly in area cover with tree . I turn the forerunner on and then do a a couple of minute worth of strech before I start my run so the forerunner have already located the satellite and be ready to go . I can not imagine run without it and I highly recommend anyone who be into run or biking to get one . the only thing I have a complaint about be that hit the power button to turn the backlight on be a pain ... I wish there be a easier way to turn the backlight on ... I use the backlight regularly since I do most of my run at night . +530 GPS POS 5 I have see gp device in the past and have decide to invest in one for my work after become lose while try to go to a job interview -lrb- thus lose the opportunity for the job . -rrb- both my husband & I have use the device and we love it . it work so well ... it be easy to use , and it do not matter if its bright daylight or darkness of night , I can see everything clearly , I know what to expect , and it be so much fun . I wish I have invest in one sooner and I be so glad this be the one I choose to buy this one . +201 GPS POS 4 just like it come new . the exact fit for the one I lose . delete a star because it add so much bulk to the unit . other than that , work as expect . +469 GPS POS 4 this portable gp be very intuitive , quick and easy to use . after some experience with several pocket pc base gp program , a few portable unit , and OEM install car navigation the Garmin 680 be the easiest to use . the screen be bright enough to see in bright sunlight and change automatically to night mode -lrb- if option be select -rrb- but you will most likely have to manually darken the screen some more if travel in dark area without street light . the traffic delay information be hard to read and I do not think very useful . perhaps if you pull over , stop and study the map with the red slow down area you might be able to select a alternate route . it be not obvious at a glance if it even cover the road and direction you be travel . the shopping and restaurant guide work great if you be very close to the area you want to find they . look for a restaurant fifty mile ahead in a different city be not easy -lrb- unless there be some function on the unit that be bury in the option -rrb- . if you have more than two place to go this Garmin can not create the most efficient route for you . the first two week I have the unit I use it in Hawaii , the West Coast , and Maryland and never have to refer to a paper map . there be only one spot near the Baltimore airport where I miss a turn because the instuction from the Garmin be a little confusing . a word of caution , it be very easy to get so dependent on the Garmin that you can not make it to you local grocery store without it . +643 GPS POS 4 the product be good and easy to use . two flip side though : 1 . the garmin website do not work well with Firefox and it take I 1 week to figure that out and hence the map updation process be a pain in the butt . 2 . unless you put the antenna out of this garmin gp , the device do not recognize you current location and simply give you direction from the last current place , which be there when you use gp with antenna . so , it be not very obvious why be it happen and it take I some time to figure out what be go on . this problem be specific to all Garmin model with antenna , which suck . . ! 3 . other than that , device be just work fine . +274 GPS POS 5 purchase the 305 when I finally get feed up with the runkeeper app force closing on my droid . I love be able to glance at my wrist and see my pace . I live in the middle of nowhere and it have only `` lose '' satellite when I go into a brick building at a nature center . once i be back outside it pick up quickly and I continue my run . I have not use all the feature yet but love have it . Pretty neat to use the heart rate monitor too . battery cover on the monitor do chafe -lrb- instruction book tell you this -rrb- , need to use lube , I keep tuck my tshirt under it lol . will not be use the monitor often , but still a neat feature . Great little gadget : -rrb- +890 GPS NEG 2 before use this mouse , I have a lot of pain in my wrist and finger from heavy computer usage in the office -lrb- 9 hour a day , 5 day a week -rrb- . initially , this mouse virtually eliminate the pain that I have in my wrist and index finger . but after a month or two of use , I develop new pain in different part of my hand . so I switch back to a conventional mouse . I switch back and forth with this mouse and a conventional mouse every couple of week for a few month , but stop switch when this mouse suddenly stop work . now , I use a conventional mouse and do hand and wrist exercise -lrb- I find a great video online but can not remember where I find it -rrb- daily . the exercise have help more than anything else . in my opinion , save you money and do not buy this . +941 GPS POS 4 the gp be almost great , however i be disappointed that this one do not play music . otherwise i love it +682 GPS POS 5 I buy my 410 about 3 week ago and I love it . it push I to run farther and faster than I normally would . it be very easy to use , create you own workout , and run at the pace you want use the virtual partner . gp work great and only take between 30 and 45 seconds to start up . highly recommend if you like to run , especially distance . it be pricey but worth it . +509 GPS POS 5 I have own three gp model . the 76 CSx perform flawlessly . boot up time be amazingly rapid . it be a best buy choice . +347 GPS NEG 1 this do not charge you Garmin . it only provide power to the GPS . DO NOT buy this if you be expect it to charge you battery in you gp . my battery steadily lose power as it be plug into this device . the seller be great though and refund my money without I even ask and obviously mistake can happen . just make sure you device charge if that be what you be look to buy . +669 GPS POS 4 I use the Garmin c330 the entire weekend throw different destination at it . there be one it do not have I just put in the cross street and it find it no problem . this gp be the Apple Macintosh of GPS Units . it just work , it pick up satellite extremely fast , it be simple to use , the windshield mount be probably one of the best I have use . I have not try out the `` detour '' feature yet but it will help when I be stick in construction or in traffic . the internal battery help when try to plan trip and setup favorite while not in you car . as for it not be user replaceable I be glad it be not . do not need to be . not a serious disadvantage . if you want a gp that just work without have to worry about the other `` geeky '' feature like see the satellite and thing . the Garmin c330 be the one to get . the speaker be loud and clear I like to have my radio pretty loud and I be still able to hear the c330 . the drawback be like everyone else have say , it be not good in direct sunlight but with the voice prompt it be not a big issue . +504 GPS NEG 2 why would Garmin ruin such a great product with ad ?! when you use the traffic feature , pop-up ad continually appear on the screen . if they be give you something for free , maybe a few ad would be a reasonable compromise . but you pay more for the model with the `` lifetime traffic '' feature . subject you to ad when you have already pay for this feature be pretty annoying . and intrusive . not to mention the fact that the ad seem to relate to place you have visit , so it make you wonder what information be be share , and with whom . I would opt for a tomtom or other brand that do not play this game . +906 GPS POS 5 this be my first gp watch and I could not be more pleased with it so far . the forerunner 305 feel well make and do not lose signal even when I run through wood . the best part in my opinion be be able to easily download all of the datum from you run when you get home and even overlay you path over Google map and Earth use free 3rd party tool . it would be nice if the watch be smaller , but it be light enough . other than that I would not change a thing . +305 GPS POS 5 my wife buy I the Garmin Forerunner 301 for Christmas . I have want only a heart rate monitor , but this gp device be a pleasant surprise ! it work wonderful . it be simple in design and in ease of use . it appear slightly bulky , but when I wear it on my run , it do not bother I . in fact the large screen be easy to read . I mainly do 5k run , so it be not like I be wear it for a extended period of time either . but all in all , for what I use it for , it exceed my expectation ! +262 GPS POS 5 I purchase this mount for my 2006 Pontiac Vibe . I have try all the other `` non-permanent '' mount out there - suction cup to the window , something that sit on a heavy base . over time they all end up fall down , and never `` stick '' like they be suppose to again . when I buy my new Iphone , I want something that would enable I to easily access my music while in the car -lrb- or the function of Siri hands-free -rrb- . the Mountek mt5000 do the trick . I have have no problem , and it be be the best purchase I have make for my car . I be easily able to access my phone , and the mount stay tight . because of the way my dash be set up , the mount do cover the lcd display of my CD player , but since I be mainly use the phone for music , that be not much of a problem -lrb- only a little annoying if I want to change radio station preset or see what FM frequency I be on , but that be not Mountek 's fault -rrb- . I also have to mention that they customer service be top notch - I have a question about the mount , and I receive a email immediately . seriously , if you be look for a way to mount you phone , and you do not mind cover you cd player , consider Mountek . it be worth every penny . +812 GPS POS 5 have a earlier model and now love the lifetime map and traffic . Easy to update , even with my MAC . traffic function work and there be a lot of information that be easy to read on the screen . +652 GPS POS 5 this be one of the few time I have purchase a product that stand up to it be billing . my roadmate700 be easy to use , accuracy be better than the three meter state in the manual most of the time . the installation be so easy it supprise I by have to slightly bend the three prong into a tripod shape and push it into the air conditioner vent . excellent product , thank you for make my road travel fun William A Ray , New Jersey USA +741 GPS POS 5 this be my 2nd gp for my Windows Mobile -lrb- Pocket PC -rrb- device over the last couple of year and the Tom Tom Nav 5 be by far the easiest to use and work . signal work great even in my pants pocket . I have a TeleType GPS before and it be difficult to use and understand . the only negative I can say about the Tom Tom 5 be I wish they would have Topo map for hike by they do not . +122 GPS POS 4 this unit be a great handheld gp . very rugged . the best feature be the software 's ability to interface with google earth on the computer , and the optional bird eye satellite imaging you can download to the GPS unit -lrb- available from garmin for about 30 buck -rrb- a year . the removable micro sd card allow you to setup and store different map and waypoint for different area on different card . look forward to try out the geocach feature this weekend ! I give it a 4 star review because the product description provide by the Amazon and Garmin website to make a informed decision on which GPS unit would suit my need be mislead . the unit come equip with `` build in base map '' that do not show one road or geographical datum within 10 mile of my home . no information on the base map except freeway and highway . do not include any surface street in my area , so buyer beware . the way i choose to get accurate road and trail information be by purchase the garmin topo map for a additional fee . this map include surface street and some trail information . it do include dirt road . these map only cover certain geographical area , like southern , north eastern and western state . the map be very detailed , include information on my local off road vehicle area . you may have to purchase more than one map set depend on where you be plan to go . the memory card that come with the unit -lrb- 1 gig -rrb- will not hold all the map datum from the topo map I purchase , you either must select smaller area where you will be travel and download to the gp or purchase a larger datum card . I would purchase this unit again ! +751 GPS NEG 1 let I begin by say that as a straight up GPS , this unit work fine . I have own it for just over 6 month and it get I from point a to point b flawlessly . the problem be that I upgrade to this unit from a older Garmin GPS specifically for it be traffic feature . since the day i purchase this unit , it have \* never \* -lrb- and I mean this literally -rrb- alert I to traffic in any way that help I to avoid traffic , and I live in a suburb just outside of NYC where traffic and alternate route abound . every once in a while it will alert I to `` traffic ahead '' as I be drive into traffic , and have already pass the turn I could have make to avoid it . and I be talk about major highway , not just backroad block up by a car accident . what be perplexing about this be that clearly the technology exist to detect traffic real-time . Google map do a very good job with this . why Garmin have not be able to incorporate this adequately into they product be a mystery . so essentially , I through away money on a second gp . bottom line : save you money and buy the cheaper non-traffic update model . +275 GPS POS 4 I buy the Garmin 680 because to save time -- time lose when find a location and time lose when rot in traffic . the other feature be more like a bonus to I . the 680 be excellent at navigation and its screen be super bright and readable even in the Arizona sun . the screen also respond well to my touch , to my surprise . the voice prompt be nice as well as be many of the configurable navigation option . now for the bad . I be most frustrated with the MSN Direct part . it be more of a after thought than a smoothly integrate feature . the problem with the MSN Direct feature be well document : - require the FM Adapter so you can only use it in the car - datum update -lrb- especially traffic -rrb- can take up to 10 minute or more . keep in mind when you start the car that you have no traffic datum , so by time you hit the freeway , you may not have the datum . - the MSN Direct overlay icon be small and unclear . - the MSN Direct info only overlay on the lame map instead of the primary map . - the Garmin route algorithm do not factor in traffic when route a optimal route . -lrb- note it do factor in road closure . -rrb- I really need that traffic datum since there be multiple route in Phoenix area . when the traffic datum be there , it have be pretty accurate thankfully . the good news be that about 90 % of the time that I need traffic datum , it be there . as for the gas datum , some people argue that this datum pay for the MSN Direct subscription so it be worth it . Bah ! my observation be that the cheapest gasoline station consistently remain as the cheapest gas station . and when you can find a cheaper one , it be out of the way not worth the time to get to it . if you can afford the price for this unit , then you be probably more interested in save time and not save $ 0.04 a gallon by drive 10 minute out of the way . I would really like to see Garmin pipe the traffic , gas , etc. datum over satellite or cellular instead of FM . anyway , I doubt I 'll renew my MSN Direct unless they give I a nice deal . a few other complaint ... if you load up a fast memory card -lrb- 2gig -rrb- with mp3 , this unit take a super long time to show you the initial map . why would not garmin give priority to the navigation and then worry about mp3 afterwards ? the point of interest as also miss a lot of established business . I would also like to see a better pedestrian mode such as show a trail that you walk -lrb- great for return from a hike -rrb- . in the end , for automobile navigation , the Garmin be a great product . they need to think through some of they little feature and also figure out how to better integrate real-time datum like traffic however . with rumor of Apple thinking of add navigation to the iPhone , Garmin need to step it up and offer apple-like usability in all area or they be go to get smoke . +846 GPS POS 4 this thing be very cool . find satilite and plot course quickly . amazingly accurate . I have have this for a couple of month now and use it daily mostly for fun . if you make a wrong turn it quickly recalculate a new route if you do it more than once it seem the voice sound unhappy with you for not follow its direction . I do the on line map and firmware update but it still doesnt show a major grocery store that be build over 3 year ago maybe I need the map update send on disk which be avaliable at a extra charge the store that be list show address distance form you location and phone number , which be very handy BUT AS for the sound factor . the speaker be on the back of the unit face away from you . if you be drive at freeway speed with you window or even crack open or if the radio be on you cant hear the direction -lrb- make I happy I do not buy the blutooth model -rrb- if you be lay next to the windsheild I bet you could hear it just fine if the speaker where on the front or even have something to direct the sound forward I think would help a lot other than the voume I be very happy with my purchase if I have it to do again i would buy the bigger screen +477 GPS POS 4 this be a nice unit . I especially like the large screen size and the 20 gig hard drive . I have down-load many album onto the 10 gig set aside for mp3 music and use this feature constantly on trip . use the gp require some investment in time study the manual and experiment with the different trip option that be available until it become second nature . the unit come with user friendly and efficient mount hardware . on hot sunny day it be sometimes necessary to turn on the a\/c and set it to blow through the defroster vent to cool the unit . this be no problem though since the unit will tell you when it be get too hot . I have no regret about buy Lowrance . +321 GPS NEU 3 I buy a Garmin Nuvi 1490T at Costco and need a case . this soft case fit perfectly . keep in mind that the neoprene will not prevent damage from long drop , be step on , etc. . however , it will prevent scratch and keep the unit not oily\/dirty . there be a small zipper side pocket , but it can not fit the charger . +841 GPS NEU 3 I have just purchase this item and be disappoint at the way Amazon be market this . they retail price say the unit be list for over $ 700 and the Garmin site have it for a little over $ 300 . they also list a very limited number leave for sale -lrb- 1 item leave -rrb- that do not drop when I buy mine ... it be still a good deal on a great unit , but I think Amazon be better than this !!! +880 GPS POS 5 I be very happy with this product . it be quality be just like the original item which come with my gp . this one look like and work like the original part . thanks +158 GPS POS 5 I love this gp ! ca not go wrong with garmin !! even let 's you know what lane you need to be in when drive in major traffic !!! +218 GPS POS 4 this thing fit like a glove ! very well construct . ca not use if you use the Dash Board mount . you have to take it out of the case . +811 GPS POS 5 I purchase this for my wife for Christmas ' 06 . within 5 minute of get it out of the box , she have it up and run , just by use the Quick Reference Guide . she be very pleased with how , `` intuitive '' it be . we take we first `` road trip '' the next day -lrb- she be the navigator , of course -rrb- and it work without a hitch . the one negative be when the battery go low , and the unit shut off . I have to `` reset '' the unit to get it to start charge . I be hopeful Garmin will look into that . overall , she be very pleased with the Nuvi 350 , and that be what be important . good product !! +964 GPS POS 4 before purchase this Garmin I have down-grade nuvus that I really love . in my experience Garmin nuvi be the most user friendly gp out there , but after close to two year my map be completely outdate and it become virtually useless . I look at buy map update , but they cost $ 100 and that be just for the U.S. ! this model have a few great upgrade like a icon to show you what lane you should be in if a fork in the road be approach and you can choose the level of detail you want the map to display . the down side : there be advertising occasionally , which be irritating but it be fairly subtle , I imagine that be how they pay for the lifetime map update . it display the speed limit and you speed , which be nice , but you speed turn red when you be speed . once again , a little annoying but tolerable . finally , it come set in safe mode and therefore will not allow you to operate it if the car be move at all , but a option pop up to disable safe mode when it happen . once I disable it , it never reappear . for you gp to work properly you really need to update the map once a year , so when you put that into perspective -lrb- at $ 100 a update -rrb- it be really a amazing deal . overall I love it ! if it be not for the advertising I would give it a 5 star rating . +499 GPS NEU 3 while I love this technology and I receive it as a gift , there be so many more Garmin on the market now that be blue-tooth compatible , let you change you direction when street be close but the Garmin do not know it -lrb- construction or obstruction -rrb- and that be easier to carrier . the Garmin service be great . I learn to not leave it in the glove compartment because of the heat but it be not easy to carry . still , Garmin repair and send back to I quickly at no charge -lrb- still under warranty -rrb- . try one of the nice pocket model . I travel enough that this be not convenient and I live in a warm climate so if I can not leave it in the car , it be awfully difficult to carry every place I go . -lrb- if someone 's breaking in my glove compartment , I have bigger worry and insurance will cover it . but carry it be like carry a glass baseball in you purse . -rrb- +51 GPS POS 5 I be not sell on the value of GPS , but since the price have come down , I decide to buy . what a great piece of technology . use it on a college search trip with my daughter last week . simply type in the name of the place you want to go -lrb- hotel , school , whatever -rrb- or a address , then press `` go '' and it take you there flawlessly . when you want food , simply press the food button and all the restaurant in the vicinity pop up . Select the one you want and it take you right there . it be definitely a time saver and eliminate stress . I pick this model because I want to have the voice tell I the name of the street to turn on , rather than simply say turn leave ahead . it make it more foolproof when you be by yourself so you do not have to look at the screen as much when you be drive . also , this be small enough to carry in you pocket when you be walk to navigate a city by foot . very happy with my purchase . +464 GPS NEG 2 my husband buy I this TomTom for Christmas from Warehouse Deals , Inc -lrb- a part of Amazon - it be the 89.99 version when you click on the new availability -rrb- under the impression that the map be free for lifetime as state on the page . when you get the refurbish unit you do not get the FREE LIFETIME MAPS !! they will only offer a partial credit towards the map purchase ... SMALL portion . I would post this on the seller 's feedback area but the item be not eligible for feedback at this time . as far as the unit go , I have have it for two day and so far love it . +494 GPS POS 5 this work perfectly . the unit be easy to connect and remove from the base . the base stay put on the dash board . +877 GPS POS 5 I have read a lot of the review state that this mount be nto stong enought to keep they gp on the bike . I mainly do biking on road and `` rail to trail '' path so I be not a `` rugged '' biker . this mount work very well for I . no movement whatsoever . I enjoy geocach while ride my bike , and this be a great addition to I favorite `` sport . '' +650 GPS POS 4 this be my first automotive gp and it do a good job . it easily follow the signal and with WAAS it know exactly where you be . Street name be easy to read even on the 3.5 '' screen . drawback : do not always find the best route -lrb- ignore a one-way street and have I go around the block and return from the other direction . -rrb- -lrb- rte 5 and RTE 91 merge together and then separate and it have I continue on RTE 5 when I be in fact on route 91 -rrb- that say , many GPS 's have th same quirk . typing in address be easy but find a particular pous in its database take considerable time to search . pro : good verbal direction and easy to use . it have teach I more street name by call out they name then I ever know . if you miss you turn it immediately provide new direction to get you back on track . tell you you expect arrival time which be adjust for you speed . I see they make wider screen on some -- do not think I need that -- work just fine . I may buy another for the other car . +336 GPS POS 5 I purchase this gp for my wife -lrb- ha ha -rrb- for x-ma . we have both really enjoy it . it do precisely what I expect . it be very simple , easy to use and provide all the information you need . kid love it to . it keep they busy in the car as they can see upcome street , land mark and where you be go . great !!! purchase through Amazon . outstanding customer service & shipping ! ud +112 GPS POS 4 I think it be great and it be all that it be advertise . I have take it geocach 3 time and find every one . I now sometimes wish I have get the Vista , but for $ x less this be a great little unit . you do need to buy a compass to go with it . +496 GPS POS 4 this gp systen have not steer we wrong ! this system manuver we through Pittsburgh flawlessly . if a wrong turn be make it re route we quickly and leave no time for panic because we be right back on track . I be extremely pleased with this product and would reccomend it to other . my only concern be download new map , we be unsure how and where this can take place in the future when new map be need . overall , work great and very happy . +186 GPS POS 5 I have only just begin to use my gp , but so far , I love it . the map and letter be large enough so I can read they easily . I love that in large print I see the name of the street I be on . +804 GPS NEG 2 the product work just fine but it hard to believe that max size for the datum card be 512mb for 120 + dollar and you can buy a 2g sd card for 7 to 20 dollar figure you might get more bang for you buck since the datum card be twice the size of a sd card +575 GPS POS 5 I have use various pocket pc navigation software and be quite sketpical at the 279.99 price at first . however , this be a great basic device for on the road travel . extremily user friendly and very easy to set up . I recommend this model over the over cxxx model because like I 90 % of the people that would use this device would probably stay in there region for example south east , north east , etc. . of course a 128 mb cd card be not go to cut it but I be sure you might have a extra one -lrb- there like 20.00 or so now -rrb- . all and all great device for a novice user . you average user do not need bluetooth , a mp3 player , traffic information , etc. . all the other feature that you get for $ 1,000 + my only complaint would be , you be unable to see the actual coordinate on the device ? you be unable to travel to coordinate only physical address . however , garmin do have software call mapsource which allow a user to upload he favorite to a computer and will allow you to see the gp coordinate . you can not complain for 279.99 for a automotive gp unit . +64 GPS POS 5 I upgrade to the Edge 305HR after own the 205 for about 5 month and after decide that I want heart rate information to accompany the wealth of information that be already be capture by the 205 . I have use the new Edge 305HR for about 60 mile of combined road and mountain biking . like the 205 it capture a wide range of information about you ride - distance , elevation , calorie burn , etc. . after follow the direction -lrb- which involve wet the sensor prior to put on the heart rate monitor -rrb- , I have find that the heart rate information be incredibly reliable . it be great to see , for example , that on a recent 32 mile ride in a hilly area of Northwest San Antonio that over a hour of the ride be at my target heart rate -lrb- 80 % of my maximum heart rate -rrb- . I upload my info from the Edge and take advantage of the free Motionbased.com account in order to chart my progress . I have experience ZERO problem with erratic heart rate reading , etc. that have be indicate in previous review of this unit . I would suggest owner of the 305HR that be have these problem should review the instruction carefully -lrb- make sure that the sensor be wet and the unit be snug on the body ... just below the breastbone -rrb- or contact Garmin to order a replacement . this unit be work exactly as advertised and will provide a great deal of quality information to help you achieve you training goal . +17 GPS POS 5 it work wonderfully in place my garmin just could not get a signal even inside we garage that have no window . it be super fast too , about 3 second after its plug in it have a lock . the cord could be a little longer but that be just for my application . I drive a tow truck and this thing go to work about 60 hour a week . I have forget to put it in the truck a couple of time at the car wash and it do just fine with the soap and high pressure water . I have have to unplug it and plug it back in a couple of time but I be not sure if it be this device or window that be the problem so I wont fault the gizmo . +630 GPS POS 5 as a owner of a service company , we have to venture into area that be unfamiliar . laptop be cunbersome to operate in the car and that be far more than what we need and mapbook be outdate before the ink dry . the Nuvi be purchase in April 2010 and have prove itself to be a perfect choice and fit for we need . the setup be complete and good to go in 10 minute . every feature so far have prove itself just as advertise . it have be use , without error , thruout the California Central Valley town and extensively in the so . cal beachfront area of L.A. \/ Orange and San Diego Counties . I would recommend this tool and would certainly by one again . the one minor issue be that the Nuvi will not charge if leave in the direct sunlight -lrb- such as a dashboard or windshield -rrb- and plug into the power port of the vehicle . a safety feature prevent charge so that it do not overheat . we learn to work with this quickly and do not have any other issue with it . +40 GPS POS 5 do not read this . Watch a video about how awesome this product be . you 'll learn too much about yourself with this watch . also . i feel this watch be better than the 400 series since it pick up gp signal so well -lrb- better than my gp navigator -rrb- . fun thing i have learn : I ski 43 mile in 4 hour of skiing . my heart rate peak about 10 minute into a run . my house be not that far from the garmin place . +311 GPS POS 5 Easy to use right out of the box !! once I upload the latest map , enter several location for future use I start use it the next day . I always end up close to the desire destination even if it have little `` alley be '' for access . the traffic update be nice to see in yellow or red accordingly along with a delay clock to the top left . the only downside I have notice -lrb- but nothing for I to return the unit about -rrb- be that the indicate speed be a `` on and off '' thing . sometimes it be accurate at a couple other time I would be drive 45-50 mph and the unit say I be go 25 or some other random number . the unit have show I drive to the side of a road before but I be underneath of a main highway for the area so not sure what that be about . overall a great deal for a great product !! would recommend for the professional or one constantly need direction . also , Garmin be the only gp unit I have find to be usable in Hawaii due to the way we put address ... . 45-xxx , 96-xxx 91-xxx -lrb- whatever street -rrb- . +378 GPS POS 4 I purchase the garmin geko 201 to use with my Nikon for geoposition photo . it work nicely for this , but i feel that some of the feature be not intuitive . it be very simple and no frill . so , for basic information it be excellent . I look forward to try some geocach with it in the future ! +780 GPS POS 5 I love the nuvus 350 ! I like this gp because it actually say street name . . not just `` turn leave '' . Garmin be rate highly by consumer report as well . I also like how you can make you own pous file and import . I just buy my mom one for mother 's day too : -rrb- +266 GPS POS 5 Got this for my wife who be get more into run . she be always ask I to estimate how far she run . not any more ! the 205 work great . have some bell and whistle on it but the basic screen of elapsed time , pace , and distance be all that be truly need . one slight draw back be the software that come with it . it be great except the map use to review the course that be run be very basic and unhelpful . it will show a loop where you run but the map only show the highway and interstate . I think it would have the local street . . you can get this map addition for $ 80 - $ 100 . overall very pleased ... +269 GPS NEU 3 the unit itself be very nice look and the wide screen be definitely a plus . the reason , I return the unit be that Motorola charge for map . only the first update be free . there be another GUI issue where the scroll arrow and the button to delete the entry in the Road Trip menu be super impose over each other . thus , you can not delete the entry , because you would be hit the scroll arrow sit on top of it . you have to scroll the entry so it be exactly in the middle so you can touch the delete icon . they have some usability issue they have to work thru for the user Interface . +447 GPS POS 5 look no further , I want to find more information about this watch and do some more extensive research before my purchase . then I stumble onto this blog by dc rainmaker and I be sell ! this review be the most informative review I find so far . I have have the watch for almost a month now and I love it and get exactly what I expect from the review . great training device , and most importantly I think the watch make the run that much more fun . -lrb- ... -rrb- +343 GPS POS 5 Magellan SE4 GPS be a great product . often time people would say if it cost more it must have higher quality . in this case , it be opposite . it cost less with higher quality . one must shop around and compare price . Magellan SE4 GPS have all the feature that I need . it serve I well . +525 GPS POS 5 this product be absolutely amazing and it do the job it be suppose to do . +818 GPS NEG 2 this be a device for the person who like to get into the inside of the system -lrb- I believe its call hacking -rrb- . for such a person , the device be great . I would not recommend it for a novice . here 's why : 1 . the text to voice pronunciation be terrible . the word run together , for example , ` San Jose ' be pronounced sanozay , San Francisco sound like ` sunfrincisco ' . now , the interesting bit be that this issue can easily be fix by someone who can hack into the system and make a few small tweak . I wonder why TomTom can not just do be in the device they ship out , or as a software update to those already sell . 2 . this device - 540 World Traveler Edition - be pitch as have complete US , Canada , Mexico and Europe map . truth be , this gp do not have room for the newest version of these map . you can have all of North America , but not all Europe , only bit of it . for example , you can have Western Europe , but then you can not have southern Europe - because there be not room on the device to accommodate that particular map . same thing for Eastern or Central Europe . this would not be such a big deal if you could be selective about which N. AM . country map you need , so you could leave out Canada , or Mexico or US , and make room for all of Europe . but you can not do that . 3 . the worst thing be that it take age to upload map , or swap out between the regionsl european pap . we be talk hour . if I be to travel to Europe , I would therefore have to lug along my laptop and flip map back and forth every time I want to go from , say , the UK to Italy , or from Sweden to the Czech Republic . and wait around for a few hour while the GPS sit around upload the right map . I think that if TomTom do not fix the map problem within a reasonable time , I will probably send it back , since the device do not function as advertise . have say all that , once you hack it and set it up properly , it work well -lrb- except for the map problem -rrb- . +827 GPS NEU 3 the Garmin be often confuse about where it be , lose a signal often - one day fine in a particular next day , no satellite available over the past few month of use . slow to upload location . I would have hope it would be update with information , not so - could not find a restaurant one there be one located less than a mile down the road , have be there for several yr . Downloaded map shortly after I receive it in hope it would be accurate , again no very update with direction . older unit turn in be more accurate and quicker with load location to unit . +817 GPS NEG 2 well , its be 6 month since I purchase the product and the gp function have croak . everything else work but the distance always read zero and do not change . I have try to reset the watch -lrb- hold the mode\/reset + power button -rrb- but that have not help . the watch be not exactly cheap and what be worse be that I never drop it and always wear a wristband under the watch so that it would not get all sweaty so I take very good care of it . I be very disappoint in the product 's lifespan and Amazon only have a 30 day return policy so it look like I be outta luck ! +375 GPS POS 4 when you compare the price and function of the other Garmin -lrb- and non-garmin too -rrb- gp watch this one make the most sense economically . it have ant + wireless datum transfer , customizable workout and customizable display screen . the only thing that make I cautious be the touch bezel . I be really worried I would get it and not like the touch bezel . I hear it describe as a either `` love it or hate it '' relationship with the touch bezel , but that be the only negative thing I hear consistently about this watch . for I , I would describe the touch bezel as exactly as advertise . it be not the same technology as you smart phone touch screen ; if you try and use it in the same way then you 'll hate the touch bezel . it take a little more intentional pressure and it will not roll through screen with a `` swipe . '' you have to literally go around and around when navigate the menu , or go from top to bottom and then again from top to bottom . basically , compare the touch bezel technology to a smart phone touch screen be like compare a tough book lap-top computer to a MacBook pro . it do the same thing in a way , but you 'll have to expect different performance limitation in order to get the benefit of something that can go out in the rain on a run with you . in summary , this watch be the absolute best gp run device you be go to find for it be price or lower . +853 GPS POS 5 for several year , I have envy the owner of high end car equip with navigation system . I consider get a aftermarket in-dash system , but the price be too steep . the StreetPilot III Deluxe be just what I have be look for . it be a reliable , well-designed , and just plain fun gadget that will please the electronics junkie and the casual user alike . the high resolution screen be gorgeous and remain clearly visible even in bright sunlight . at sundown -lrb- automatically calculate by the StreetPilot -rrb- , the display switch to black and white and can still be read easily without distract the driver . operation be very easy once you get the hang of it . the 128 mb datum card include with the deluxe version can store map cover a radius of 500 + mile . it should be adequate for almost all trip . program the card be fairly easy , although the software be probably the system 's weakest link . the interface be poorly design but functional . the system 's autorouting function work very well , but because it can not account for traffic volume or terrain , it sometimes underestimate drive time and thus do not choose the quickest route . 95 % of the time , however , the system choose the best route , and it have identify new and better direction for several of my most common trip . the vocal prompt be excellent . a sophisticated trip computer be a include feature and be a welcome addition if you car do not have one . I can not praise the StreetPilot highly enough . in many way , I think it be superior to a in-dash system , in term of price and portability -lrb- since you can transfer the device between car -rrb- . it be the rare gadget that be both useful and fun . you 'll wonder how you ever live without it . +327 GPS POS 4 I replace a Nuvi 200 with this device and be quite pleased . size-wise it be equivalent to the latest touch-screen phone , so if you have be use a 4.3 ' before then this will be too small for you . transition from a 3.5 be easy and it be still slightly more narrow that the Nuvi 200 . the screen be sharper , but the button be smaller when typing . the user interface be modern and responsive and navigating be accurate since it be a Garmin . do not expect to be shop Amazon or write multiple email , but it can work in a pinch if strong wifus be available . Mine connected fine at home and the office . have not use the mp3 player , so cant comment there . audio volume be lower than the Nuvi 200 but still fine at 70-80 % . look for a small low-cost semi-versatile gp device , this work well . keep you expectation reasonable and you 'll be please . 80 $ for a new Garmin be quite a deal ! +535 GPS POS 4 take a while to load software and map , but nice to use . walk around Teluride Ski Area with unit and be pleased . preform nicely in car . never could register unit on-line and get software update , probably my computer . use on wifus at school to check Email and play foreign language mp3 . +603 GPS NEG 1 I purchase a 305 several year ago now for my bike . after about 2 year it start lose its ability to hold the satellite and would go into pause mode and would not hold a charge but for a short time . I send it back and get a refurbish model . after about a year it simply would quit work mid ride even while show a full charge . I send it back and get another refurb at a cost of $ 79.95 . now this one be not want to find sufficient satellite , so I be have to start the ride without the GPS , which really suck . usually it will finally hook up to sufficient satellite so that it will start record datum . so yes , I absolutely think Garmin be JUNK . too bad they do not have some gp competition but even so I will not buy another Garmin . +988 GPS NEU 3 my rino 520 be almost the most awesome electronic gadget I have ever purchase . the 2-way radio work great - better speaker sound and range than any other radio I have own . almost great gp with the color screen and optional topo mapping . user friendly interface . above all the location feature of a fellow user be the killer asset . if the unit work perfectly I would highly recommend anyone to buy it . but I must add my agreement to previously mention issue : my screen go blank occasionaly . come back on after a power off-on cycle then sometimes will stay on long term , sometimes require another off-on cycle . the optional topo map usually show some incredible detail about very obscure road , but yet have not be update to a major highway reroute in my state which be complete 30 year ago . overall I would definitely buy another of these after know the bug have be work out . for now I be glad I own it even with the bug . look forward to when Garmin correct the quality issue . +287 GPS POS 5 great screen love the large 5 '' easy to use better touch screen that the 3.5 '' that I replace . love the lane exit feature . I have not have a chance to take a trip with it but I know that it will do great . +649 GPS POS 5 Works great with my BlackBerry Curve 8300 run Google Maps or TeleNav software . no complaint here . +599 GPS POS 5 this be a easy to use device , if I can do it anyone can . it have everthe to take I be I want to go . highway or back road , now I always know where I be . I be very happy with it . get one !!! +265 GPS POS 5 the garmin be a great product for document you training and more importantly it be easy to use . +252 GPS POS 4 I love the Nuvi 350 GPS . I use it frequently and it always find the best way possible . the only draw-back be its usage when in town , especially near hi-rise building , or under overpass or on\/under bridge etc -- where it be lose its navigation and the car in the GPS picture start swirl and swing like a drunk without a purpose and you end up miss exit and turn . otherwise it be well worth the price and I will happily continue to use it . +570 GPS NEG 1 how many workout be one suppose to waste get this thing to work ? I stop at around a dozen . this gp be just not ready for primetime ; at least not within urban environment -lrb- though one would have think that nyc 's Central Park might have provide sufficient open siteline it apparently do not . -rrb- Wish the product spec do not overhype the product so much . +139 GPS POS 5 I purchase the 350 nuvus after much research , include reading review . I just take a 2400 mile trip across the US , include Yellowstone and other site out west . the nuvus be only inaccurate a couple of time and that be when I take what appear to be newly open road . it be definitely useful , but you also need to pay attention to the road sign . I especially love that nuvus give warning about upcome turn and advance warning when you need to be in the right or left lane before a turn . we have start use the nuvus for geocach and it have be right on ! it be also useful when arrive to a destination early -- I be able to look up hotel further down the road and make a new reservation ! what a timesaver . I will not travel without it again ! +554 GPS NEG 1 the best part of the design be that it do grip my iphone\/gps very tightly . but , the adhesive base for the dash board do not stick and fall back off after 5 minute of apply it . I do prep the dash first to help the adherence but it do not help . so , I try to use the optional vent clip and as I slide it into the vent to position it the finger of the clip break off and fall down into the vent . I could suction the holder to my windshield , but I buy it to use on my dash board and it just do not cut it . very disappoint . long story short , this product be not worth the $ 8 I pay for it , so beware . +395 GPS POS 5 try this unit after I find out the `` new '' Garmin eTrex Legend H only output proprietary Garmin datum -lrb- original eTrex Legend will output nmea datum -rrb- . this make it useless for software other than Garmin 's own overpriced version . after speak with the rather rude rep at Garmin , I decide to look elsewhere . I already have and be happy with Streets & Trips and share trip file with friend and family member . I try another data-conversion software to allow use of the Legend h , but it be simply a hassle . this one hook up seamlessly and acquire satellite much more quickly than the Legend do . since I only need a unit to feed the notebook with s&t; s , this be ideal . it be quite small and have a small suction cup with a cable slot to hold it steady on the dash , if you do not care to use the magnetic back . it use only a tiny amount of power through the usb port ... in fact , I have run it on a old notebook with a PCMCIA usb adapter and Windows 2000 and it work perfectly . the usb cable be longer than the Garmin unit , also . I order a replacement for the original eTrex Legend to use on hike and to save track when not in the truck -lrb- still have all the add-on and adapter for it -rrb- . the original unit last 5 year and the replacement be still that same unit , so it 'll work through a serial adapter to usb in a pinch . too bad Garmin seem to have become so greedy as to force use of its software . the vendor ship it quickly and it arrive in perfect condition . +695 GPS POS 4 this be a huge upgrade from my earlier generation gp . acquisition be very fast and the gp work in environment in which my previous gp would not be usable . unfortunately I also get to provide a customer evaluation of Garmin service as my unit intermittently freeze up . hopefully this experience will be ok as this gp appear to be a excellent product . +580 GPS POS 4 I purchase this item because I want the live traffic and also the step by step direction . the step by step direction be handy in that you can review the turn and direction in order that you can determine howthe gp be navigate you . I have be very happy with this product in that it seem to be right on with traffic delay and arrival time . however , there be one major annoying feature that I absolute dislike . the GPS have advertisement that show up that you can not get rid of . I guess that be how Magellen pay for the free traffic by sell advertisement . after a while you become use to it , but I rather not have it and I wish there be a way to turn it off . another issue that I have experience be that in area of tall building once in a while , like downtown LA , the gp seem to get lose due to lost signal . but in all , I have be very happy with it and it seem very accurate . +301 GPS NEU 3 the graphic on this device be much sharper and color much better than previous version I have own -lrb- Nuvi 660 be the last -rrb- . that make the display interface more invite although the map display seem pretty much the same -lrb- albeit better resolution -rrb- . the voice pronunciation be significantly improve over previous model . it be more fluid and street be pronounced much better . the fact that it can be use in `` portrait '' mode be great ... I like see further ahead on my route when I want to . I also love the customization of the display info on the map to include thing like mileage remain or altitude or time remain or time to turn or direction etc. . all these thing be much better than previous model ... in fact a order of magnitude better . I find the voice recognition to be pretty good give the noisy environment of a car -lrb- turn off you radio when you talk and it work even better ! -rrb- . however , the number of command control by voice be very limited . you can not pan and zoom use voice and you can not switch to the `` datum '' screen from the map -lrb- but you can go the other way -rrb- . they should make a lot more of the command available by voice but just zoom in\/out would be a major major improvement for `` hand free '' use . the major disappointment for I be in the route . I drive from Houston to San Antonio and back four time a month . it be 200 mile each way of which 189 mile be on Interstate 10 . I have one stoplight each way . my nuvus 660 -lrb- and daughter 270w -rrb- both route I along i-10 for 189 mile . unfortunately , this device have I exit off the highway at one exit and get right back on after go through the intersection . this make absolutely no sense . I estimate there be 30 instance of this . I have try change the preference for route and that help some but it still want I to get off . I think that for some reason it want I to take us90 rather than i-10 but clearly that would be foolish . also , leave home , it send I six block up , one block over and five block back to get on the highway so you drive right past the very street it put you back on later -- and it even recognize they be interconnect . it also can not direct I to my home but admittedly it be hard to get to my place because it be right next to a huge urban interchange and the road be hard to map . nevertheless , you buy a gp for route and this do a very poor job . I can not recommend the traffic reporting . it do not see any of the traffic directly in front of I but it do for accident 70 or 100 mile out . not very useful . also , the killer for this be that I pay a huge amount of money for this device but apparently they insist on sell advertising on the traffic display -lrb- how much do they make ? one or two cent ?? -rrb- . this be suppose to show the sign above the highway interchange but it only do it once . since then , no joy ... it tell you about the route but it do not show the sign . the display of 3-d building be fun and surprisingly accurate but not very dense even in Houston . therefore it do not really help navigate by provide visual clue on the route . they have come a long way with the device but , unfortunately , the route problem be significant . in the end , that make it , at best , a `` 3 '' for I . of course , you may have a better experience living in another part of the country . +474 GPS POS 4 I need to replace my eTrex Legend and buy the 60cx and want a cover for it like I have on my etrex . I purchase this cover and be quite surprised to see that although it cover the unit , there be no way to connect it to anything . my Garmin eTrex cover have come with it be own clip so that you could attach it to you backpack , etc. . this cover be just that ... a cover and nothing more . you must purchase , separately , a clip device if you actually wish to hang you gp on you backpack or where ever . the cover itself seem nice and cover the unit well . push the button through the plastic window be slightly cumbersome but that be expect . it be rather a pain to put the cover on\/off though when you have the lanyard and the button clip attach to you gp . but all in all , it cover and protect you gp screen which be why you be buy the thing . but it should have a clip attachment on it or the fact that it do not should be make quite clear . +21 GPS POS 4 head MOUNT COULD be stronger , BUT great VALUE for the money ... . I use for 2 trip already on MY 1100 SHADOW , and work great easy to see as U RIDE . +602 GPS NEG 1 this be my third gp -lrb- they seem to have a short - use life -rrb- . it be inaccurate , run I in circle and be generally unsatisfactory . it be sporadic in announce street name - sometimes it announce they , sometimes it be `` in 200 foot ... '' I use it twice to check it out , then return it and order another brand . cross my finger the next one will be more cooperative ! +563 GPS POS 4 the product itself be excellent ; from the quality to the price . it be `` box ready '' except for load the map . the map load need Tech support , and that be where the problem be . I spend all but half a day , call and recall for assistance . the tech staff be very friendly , but time after time after time the map load program freeze up ; and every time I have to call for assistance . there Tech operation need a major upgrade . my time be money ; and four hour be a lot of lose money . please upgrade you in-house loading experience . I be very fearful to call back for upgrade to the map when I get the email that there be upgrade to be load . the stress level of a possible half day of Tech support help make I stressed already . +729 GPS POS 4 you can not tell this be not a brand new unit . it even have the warranty . it keep a lock even in deep wood . the map be a big help but would not be necessary if people would give parking co-ordinate ! my only complaint about this unit be that the sp card fall out when I change battery . +258 GPS POS 5 this be buy for we motorhome and be simply great to use . the sand bag hold we GPS unit and it do not move even on a rough road . a great purchase for sure . +172 GPS POS 5 this be purchase on behalf of a friend with no internet access . he have be a happy hunter ever since . +503 GPS NEG 1 buy a refurbish one from fry 's . it never locate satellite indoor and outside in open area . I be in lo angele . have to return it , very disappointed . pro : i like the interface , it be very smooth . +516 GPS POS 5 a nice , little , zippered , semi-hard case that fit my Nuvi 265WT perfectly . no room for any accessory ; but perhaps that be a good thing because it do fit and protect my Nuvi so well . buy it ! +758 GPS POS 4 great gp - Garmin be the only way to go . this be newest model and upgrade from we 2 yr old one . have to make cross-country trip with 86 yr old mom . Interstate be close and it route be around it safely - great technology ! +574 GPS POS 5 Easy to operate . great software . Perfect for woman who travel on they own . +230 GPS POS 5 great product ! instruction leave a lot to be desire for novice computer people . very unclear instruction about download datum to computer and which program be best to use . . vague at best and inadequate at worst . thanks gary Johnson +913 GPS POS 5 I do a lot of research before I settle on this Tom Tom . awesome tool and very reliable ! the only change I would make be that I would add a sun visor with the kit . wonderful device ! +843 GPS POS 5 I purchase this unit on sale locally . when I first turn it on there be some new street around my area -lrb- Lafayette , La -rrb- that be not include in the map . I try to register the 40lm on my Windows 7 64-bit pro system but it would not work . I end up update it on my company laptop with Windows xp . Registered the unit and download the current map . disconnect the unit from the laptop and plug it into the Windows 7 System and it connect no problem . be use the Windows & to update and download ever since . I love the unit . when you get to a exit it show the proper lane to be in . you can also get a list of restaurant for meal , gas station location and snack while on the road . you can download different vehicle to use as you default pointer . the x-wing fighter be my favorite . direction be precise and clear . show speed limit on major highway and interstate but not local road . it would be nice to have a larger selection of voice to play with . Cartoon voice would be even more fun . I just discover you can use you own voice or family or friend to use for the voice command . would recommend to a friend to purchase . +519 GPS POS 4 the Garmin StreetPilot c330 be a reliable navigation aparatus . I have use the c330 for over a month in New York and I be impressed on its ability to navigate through one journey . sometimes it lose the satellite but it recover very quickly . I do not know how effective it will be outside New York , however . the confidence it give be really good . +13 GPS POS 5 this be a great unit . I purchase the TomTom go 910 because it be preload with map of North America and Europe . I be in Europe more than the USA so I want a unit that could get I around all the european country seamlessly . many unit require that you switch european map between country , but not this unit . I can report that the unit work perfectly . I recently drive from Lyon , France to Torino , Italy and then to Cameri , Italy . the unit work fast to define the best route and get I to my destination without any error . in fact , in Torino I go to a friend 's apartment follow the direction exactly . when the unit say `` you arrive at you destination '' stop the car among large building downtown and phone my friend to see if he know where I be . he look out he apartment from the fifth floor and wave to I ! the unit place I directly in front of he apartment . and yes , it never lose signal even when on the narrow road bury between tall building . I also notice that in the small town of Cameri , Italy it know every small road in town . it be also interesting to note that the unit track you approximate location even when go thru tunnel -lrb- I have no signal but it apparently assume you be still go the same speed -rrb- . but after a few minute in the long tunnel it stop and wait for you exit and then refresh in about a minute . here be what I really like : \* it be very accurate and calculate route very quickly . if you make a wrong turn , it recalculate in second and get you back on the right track . \* Preloaded map of Europe , and they be accurate . \* alert you if the speed limit drop and you be go too fast . in fact , I be watch it change as I pass speed limit sign -lrb- in Europe -rrb- , and the go910 change within foot of pass the sign -lrb- how do they do that ? -rrb- . \* alert you to speed camera -lrb- in Europe -rrb- . \* have a remote control that be very handy . with the touch of a button , you can have it repeat its last instruction or tell you the next instruction . also can change volume and access all the other feature . \* signal strength be very good . I pick up nearly full signal when dock in my house , apartment -lrb- in Europe -rrb- or office . of course , I have great signal strength in the car , even though I have one of those GM car with the metallic coating in the windshield -lrb- my old Garmin GPS III unit would not work well thru the windshield -rrb- . \* Long battery life , more than six hour . \* Speaker and sound be very clear . \* when you plan you route , it provide a estimate of arrival time . I find on a six hour trip it be within three minute . here be what I do not like : \* the screen be hard to see in really bright sunlight and you be wear sunglass . lift off you glass help , but it be still tough to read . \* the windshield mount work fine , but the power connection from the mount to the unit be not work -lrb- the unit run out of battery after about six hour -rrb- . \* do not come with a carry case . sure it have a little case for the main unit , but if you drop it there will be little protection from a hard floor . +750 GPS NEU 3 this be a great look case at a great price . I buy this case for my Garmin Nuvi 3790T . it be a simple case with one pocket . the stitch look good and the leather or `` pleather '' do not look cheap . my only gripe be that the width of this case be too big to hold my gp securely . if I hang the case upside down , the GPS will fall right out . the elastic band on the side of the case be not tight enough to `` bite '' the GPS in place . +319 GPS POS 4 I have nothing but great thing about the Garmin RINO 120 . the Navigation be good to go . some people complain about how much more work it be compare to a dedicated gp model . well , when you have to combine the radio and the GPS , there be bind to be some compromise somewhere . the radio feature be great . I get scambling security function , different beep and tone for different party , and the gp location work with the radio . my negative opinion be about the computer to unit cord . . it be a old style nine pin serial port , but the more expensive model have the usb to unit cord . ca not they just update the lineup so all of we have the newer connection . another issue be the software . . all the new map be not compatible with the RINO 120 , but it be compatible with the new RINO 520 . yes , I know they still sell the software that be compatible with the RINO 120 , but it be not update since 2000 , and I would hate to find out the road be no longer there ... that kind of thing ... so overall , it be a good product , just that it need some update ... +88 GPS POS 5 this be a very durable mount and the bag be weighty . I would recommend for a flatter dash in car . the hold device be quiet strong and durable with a nice strong grip . ca not go wrong . +950 GPS POS 5 I love my new TomTom ! I previously have a Garman but my dog chew it up . since the price be better on the TomTom i decide to try it . for I it be easier to see and it offer more option such as notification if there be traffic delay ahead . I also appreciate the fact that map update be free for the TomTom . Amazon offer a great deal on this and ship it quickly . +236 GPS POS 5 great GARMIN GPS , have all the function need . volume CONTROL be PERFECT . have 2011 UPATED ROUTING VERSION , expect it to LAST A LONG WHILE . +902 GPS POS 5 I decide to purchase this Garmin for my upcoming trip to Rome and Venice . I be attract to it because of its european map , as well as its pedestrian -lrb- walking -rrb- mode . I be a little hesitant at first as some give it mixed review , but I decide to take the plunge . well , I just return from Europe have use the Garmin nuvus 1370t extensively in my travels and all I can say be WOW !!!! before my trip , I download the City map on the Garmin site for both Rome and Venice . this give you very detailed information for the individual area you be go to and I would recommend do the same if you be go to be walk around . remember , this unit do come with Europe install so this add on be just more detailed information . walk around Rome and Venice be a joy with the 1370t . my family and I walk everywhere and never get into a taxi . people be ask we direction after awhile ! I find that we would venture out in any direction we want because we know we could always make we way back . it help you plan you trip give you the most interesting site to see in and around where you be . in Venice , everyone be glue to the map in they hand . they have to stop at every intersection because it be so easy to get lose in that city . even look at the map in they hand , they be still lose ! the Garmin allow I to explore with ease and not have to stop at every turn to reacquaint myself to where I be . now be this thing perfect ? here be the deal . in Rome and Venice , you be surround by tall building that cause problem for the gp reception . that be not Garmin 's fault , it be just the reality of use a gp receiver . in both city , you lack of reception last only a small amount of time and then you will enter a better reception area and you unit will update itself pretty quickly . lose reception , while walk , be really not a big deal . you already have you way map out on the screen , so you follow it even though it may not be update you precise position . this be a absolute must buy for those travel . I have also use the automobile mode and it be outstanding ! here be a few wish list for future update . in walk mode , you do not know which way to begin walk . you have to walk a small amount in a direction , look at the screen and see what direction you go , then adjust to the way you be suppose to be go . this be a bit frustrating . next , when you in a unfamiliar city , it would be nice if the unit could give you some restaurant recommendation base on user review , price etc. . right now , it give you a list of all the restaurant , but in a unfamiliar city with a family , it would be nice to narrow that list down . in walk mode , I want to know how much longer I need to walk -lrb- in mile or part of mile -rrb- to reach my destination . it give you this information in automobile mode but not in pedestrian mode . bottom line : this unit will help you explore with confidence and reduce you stress while travel so you can spend more time enjoy you vacation ! +919 GPS NEU 3 I like my garmin Etrex Vista . it be easy to use , seem sturdy and reliable . major disadvantage : 1 -rrb- the only way to connect this unit to a computer be via a rs232 interface -lrb- old technology -rrb- . I purchase a non-garmin usb-rs232 converter cable but have not be able to make it work ; 2 -rrb- there be no way to connect the unit to a 110 volt source -lrb- read battery -rrb- . I jury rig this by purchase a cable that connect the unit to a car cigarette lighter -lrb- also have a rs232 connection -rrb- and purchase a converter -lrb- $ 5.96 -rrb- that convert 110 to 12 volt with a cigarette lighter output . it work . +58 GPS NEU 3 nice product . Guides you where you need to go without any issue . I have use this for a trip to San Diego from Bay area and do not find any issue . I have to return this back as I get a better deal on mio 310x during last thanks give . only thing I do not like about this product be , you can not update the map and have to live with what they give . but now , with gp rate hit amazingly low compare to a year back , I think its a good idea to go for one of those latest with more feature . +748 GPS NEU 3 in term of gp functionality -- this unit work fine . it have a pretty good display , navigation work well , etc. . however , I have to return this unit becuase you can not store address as `` favorite '' like many other gp unit -lrb- include my older nextar c3 -rrb- . you can store `` home '' and `` work '' - that be it . -lrb- and while these two ` favorite ' can be rename -- two just do not cut it for I -rrb- . also , while you can review and retrieve a address from a `` history '' of recently-travelled destination , these will scroll off eventually and then those address have to be re-enter . too bad -- a really important feature that be leave out , and a deal-killer for I . Wish I have know beforehand . if that do not bother you -- then I do actually still recommend this gp -- the price be sure right . +341 GPS POS 5 I get my mio on Friday and use it on Saturday to drive from my apartment in D.C. to my friend 's apartment in Crystal City . this be a bit of a confusing drive for I , as I do not do it very often , but it be make effortless with the c220 . no get lose or weird route - the Tele Atlas map be very accurate . I end up make a detour on the way home to go to mcdonald 's and the device recalculate my route in a matter of seconds . very cool ! highly recommend for its value and accuracy . also , it be insanely sunny outside and I could still see the screen very clearly despite the glare . +440 GPS NEU 3 this bag be a perfect fit for we street pilot , however the bag be thin with very little padding so we end up put it in a bigger bag to protect it while not in use . +683 GPS POS 5 buy this charger to be able to charge both of we droid2 phone -lrb- 750ma each -rrb- at the same time . it do the job . nice form factor too . +12 GPS POS 5 this be my first GPS machine , and its work very effectively . it seem to be pick the most efficient rout 95 + % of the time . the text to voice feature that announce street name be extremely valuable at complex junction . I be so happy that I purchase another one as a gift for my brother . +980 GPS POS 5 product exceed expectation . very easy to use . convenient size . use a great deal when travel on business and pleasure . +732 GPS NEG 2 use rechargeable aaa battery , with the Battery Saver feature turn on , about two hour . sometimes I get more use alkaline , but not much more . honestly , this unit be worthless , because I can not trust the battery . Order a Garmin Etrex Legend instead . it be not much more expensive , larger or heavier , and it include a base map of road , town , and shoreline . the Legend come with a cable to transfer datum from you computer . the Legend 's screen be a bit larger , but show much more detail . and - the battery last hour and hour . +864 GPS POS 4 purchase for great price . Works as advertise . some of the rural map and address be outdate . so far , the city map and address have be accurate , which be really what I want . I rate it four star for not have the latest rural update . Performance be good . the compass east and west feature be reverse but , it be a overall good product . +569 GPS POS 4 many feature like find the nearest Walmart or Burger King ... etc. . but I be not impress by the accuracy of its direction . very very rare to see a mistake in the direction but when you encounter , it be so painful . +873 GPS POS 5 very useful . the only thingthat could be better be how long it take to gear up and locate satellite . it be a great training aid . +769 GPS POS 4 my plan be to only use this gp unit when I be chart out new course , but I be find myself always strap it on now ! it be less cumbersome than I expect and work very well . out of about 20 run , it lose contact with the satellite once for about one mile - otherwise it have be faultless . it take about 3-4 minute to initiate contact when turn on and you need to leave it someplace still while it be find the satellite . +498 GPS NEG 1 I order the Bad Elf before I have hear of the xgps150 . a few day after order I run into a guy at the airport who be use the xgps150 . after chat about it for a few minute , I decide to cancel my Bad Elf order and order the xgps150 instead . Amazon say it be too late to cancel the Bad Elf . I get the xgps150 and use it in the car and airplane and love it . it be external and connect via Bluetooth . today , I decide to try the Bad Elf that have arrive a few day after the xgps150 . First off , it turn off when you close a app that require GPS . then when you reopen the app , the Bad Elf have reacquire the satellite . very annoying . the xgp stay on and connect . switching between app be seamless . the other issue be that the Bad Elf stick out the bottom of the device you connect it to . it be easily knock out and I believe it would be easy to damage you device . in my hour of use it , it get knock out once . at that point , I firmly decide I would return it . I be go to keep be as a backup to the xgps150 . no more . I 'll be order a second xgps150 . +453 GPS NEG 1 I buy the Streetpilot c330 from CompUSA in January , 2009 . at $ 69 sound like a great buy . the unit be easy to use , good overall quality . the first hint of trouble start when the unit could not pinpoint my home address . I find out that the unit have outdate 2005 map , very old for city like Orlando , Florida . I contact Garmin 's customer support . I be tell that Garmin decide not to extend its new map guarantee to a older product . the new map warranty be only good on new product ! why would new product need new map ? how convenient ! refurbish the old junk , sell it cheap , and sell the dupe customer a expensive set of map . of course when you buy the unit they will tell you it be as good as new ! +768 GPS POS 5 my husband and I just buy a Pontoon Boat for fishing and pleasure . we both enjoy fishing so we want to get some good equipment to go along with the boat and this unit be highly recommend . it may even be more than we need right now because it be `` load '' with all kind of good thing . the graphic be easy to read and clear . the depth finder with alarm be very helpful . even when the sun be shine on the screen , it be clear and easy to read . the sonar give a real wide angle of what be below we and in great detail . this unit have more map than we will ever use , but it be good to know they be there should we decide to hit some other fishing area . we boat dealer be kind enough to instll this unit on the boat for we and the hookup they use move it in all different direction and allow we to remove it easily before trailer the boaot home and pop it on when we be ready to hit the water . I do not see how anyone could be disappoint with this unit . my husband , who be not a `` Techie '' -lrb- have problem run a computer -rrb- have learn very quickly how to operate this unit . we love it . we highly recommend it . when I have a couple of question , support from Humminbird be excellent too ! +938 GPS POS 5 this be my first experience with a GPS unit - neither my , nor my husband 's , car have gp install , and we never really care . but I be excite to get this gp unit and see what the fuss be all about ! I install the software on my computer , update the unit , charge it up and enter in some address . we go on vacation the other day and we use this unit to get to we resort 500 mile away from home . it give clear and concise direction , the voice on the unit be not annoying , and we actually decide to take a different exit , and the unit recalculate we route . for the price , it seem like a great gp . I really enjoy have it for we trip and look forward to use it again on another upcome trip . the suction to we front window work perfectly - no slip , fall , and no residue . 5 star for this gp ! +753 GPS POS 4 First off , allow I to provide some context to this review . I buy this to replace a Garmin 660 that be steal -lrb- at least I get the valet company to reimburse I -rrb- . in addition to the 660 , I have also use integrated nav system in a Honda and BMW . they provide I with the comparison reference point . another point of reference be that I use the 2460 in a small convertible , and the roof be down unless it be really rain -lrb- which be rare in S. California -rrb- . what I like : - I be surprise by the voice recognition . you do not need to press a button to activate it ; you give the garmin a activation phrase and it continuously listen for that phrase . this end up be far more useful that I expect when I buy the unit - I think I would never use it , when in fact I always use it . it do struggle with noise if I try to use it at highway speed with the roof and window down . it be acceptable if I have the roof down and the window up at highway speed . -lrb- acceptable : I end up need to repeat myself often , but eventually get what I need without need to take my hand off the steer column -rrb- . since most people will have a better controlled noise environment , this feature most likely will work great for they . - the traffic route be much better than on the old 660 . - the unit detect pattern and provide ETA information , with out turn by turn prompt . this be great for the day when traffic decide to back up on you commute - Lane assist , this be now a must have feature for any future nav system I consider . what I wish they have think of : - allow I to request the ETA information without the turn by turn . often I know where I be go but I want the ETA and the traffic advisory , but do not want the turn by turn . what they really mess up : - I can not voice search for destination along my route -lrb- or at my destination -rrb- . when on a long road trip I occasionally will need to search for a gas station , restaurant , etc. . I do not know why they ditch the search option , but have to sift through all the hit that be behind I or way off the beaten path be unacceptable . especially since I tend to use this feature when I be not familiar with the route and I end up need to pull over to manually set the along route search option . - the screen be almost illegible when I be wear my polarize -lrb- not sure if this be the issue -rrb- sun glass and it be in direct sunlight . -lrb- hint , I always have the roof down and I be in S. California - this be often enough to make I miss the 660 screen -rrb- . I end up turn the screen such that it be point down and away from I , and sometimes just resort to take my glass off when look at it . -lrb- edit : correct comment about search along current route - thanks for the info Preston -rrb- +310 GPS POS 5 I love this gp unit . I be a big Garmin fan and have use they GPS unit for year . last year I try a TomTom and swear I would never buy another TomTom in my life . this unit be super awesome . here be some of the thing I like about it : \* it be very slim . \* update the map on the unit be a breeze . \* the screen be beautiful and clearly visible in direct sunlight . \* easily get connect with satellite without extend delay . \* accurately take I where I want to go . \* give I info on fuel efficiency which I like v. much . \* Free map and traffic for life -lrb- giggling -rrb- . some reviewer have complain about ad be show but that be not a annoyance at all because ad be absolutely never show when you be drive . you 'll see the occasional ad when , and only when , you be not drive ; typically after you have reach you destination and you car have stop move . in summary , I like everything about it and have yet to see something I do not like about it . I highly recommend this unit . +508 GPS POS 4 simply plug it in and it have work beautifully , with three caveat : 1 . it do not always give I what I would consider to be the absolute best route -lrb- when I have test it around my neighborhood -rrb- . 2 . a couple of time it bring I a quarter mile past my destination , and then say I have arrive . 3 . sometimes it seem to take about a quarter a mile of drive before it completely orientate itself , so if I be not sure which way to start , I have to guess , and if I guess wrong , it tell I that it be `` recalculate '' and then tell I how to get there from where I be go . still , overall , I be very pleased . I enjoy map , but this be way better . +323 GPS POS 4 cord work fine , but do not fit in desire location because the connector be straight instead of the 90 deree end as show in photo . +29 GPS POS 5 this be a great product . we buy it right before a vacation , and it come in mighty handy . it tell you the name of the street to turn on , rather than just `` turn right in 500 foot '' . occasionally on a busy expressway it may seem that you do not get enough warn where to turn , but , you just have to make sure you obey the 350 when it say `` stay leave '' or `` stay right '' , so you 'll be at the exit and be able to make the turn when it tell you to . we love it . +992 GPS POS 4 the Nuvi 350 be a easy to use GPS that anyone can operate . I have use it to find address and landmark in both the Seattle and Portland area . the interface be easy to use even for someone that be not technical . I have run into out-of-date business reference -lrb- the business have close -rrb- and it sometimes have trouble with complex freeway interchange , but always sort it out and get you head in the right direction -- even if that mean find a alternate route because you miss a turn . I recommend it . +73 GPS POS 4 be of a certain age and extremely technology impaired , I be very concern over my ability to learn how to use the Garmin 320 . much to my surprise , I be able to use it right out of the box . it be very intuitive . my only problem be when I just want to enter a city and state . I learn you have to input a street address first . so now I just enter the first address that appear and update it when I arrive near my destination . love it ! +720 GPS POS 5 I have a TomTom one xl that I lose and then I purchase this one . the interface be identical which be great , but the device be far superior . I have find the traffic feature to be very helful , the lane assist be great and the road it choose be much better than the one xl . the only bad thing be the mount . I buy a arkon ttep115 TomTom EasyPort Windshield \/ Dash Mount and the combination work well for I . +217 GPS POS 5 the only letdown from this otherwise fine gp be that you can not map out a route with multiple stop along the way and save it . that make trip planning with multiple stop a little mre challenge . +263 GPS POS 4 I buy this gpsr a couple of month ago primarily for geocach . I be use a very low end Garmin but be tire of the paperwork and be want to go `` paperless '' with my geocaching . I be glad I make the purchase . the unit have a little weight to it but feel good and secure in the hand with the rubber coating on the outside . it certainly have a rugged feel that inspire confidence while out trek through a trail . screen size : Screen size be good and bright enough to use in full sunlight . Touchscreen : it take I a bit to get use to the touch screen . I have become spoil to the slick use of the touchscreen on Apple product and the 510 be `` clunky '' in comparison . with time I be get better at use it , but it be no ipad or itouch that be for sure . menu : the menu option be excellent . for those who be upgrade so they can go `` paperless '' with they geocaching , you will be in Heaven . what you need , when you need it while out there tromp around look for that ellusive cache . very satisfy to click the smiley face to log a `` find '' while still stand at Ground Zero . the menu path be definitely different than the button drive one of the Garmin but once I become accustomed it make sense and be very useful . Satelite Connectivity : excellent ! the 510 obtain connection very quickly and seem to doggedly hold it even when under a tree canopy . this may be my favorite attribute of this unit . Compass : to be honest I have not use it enough to give a good opinion . the more expensive explorist unit -lrb- 610 and 710 I believe -rrb- supposedly have a better one but it have be a non-issue for I . battery use : I have find the 510 to be pretty frugal on the use of my battery . however when I decide to take the plunge in to paperless geocach I go ahead and buy some rechargeable battery . they be realy not that expensive and definitely cheaper in the long run . downside : at first I find myself fumble around with the Magellan menu and touchscreen . it require a few day to get use to it and become comfortable navigate the menu . one downside I have find be that when I want to scroll the screen around I accidentally `` set '' a waypoint and the screen center on that . irritating , but easily correct . I be hope to find a setting that allow I to remedy this issue . also I have have the unit lock up on I three or four time . the fix be to take the battery out and let the unit reset . then reset the cache you want as you waypoint . not a deal breaker on this unit but definitely irritating . a friend of mine have the same issue with the 510 but have solve it with a download suggest by Magellan . I 'll definitely do that as well . overall : I do not regret this purchase in the slightest . I now wonder how I make it without the 510 and for the price it be a great way to switch to paperless caching . I would definitely recommend this unit for purchase . +598 GPS POS 4 I buy it in Florida in February and use it out there . I buy it back to UK and purchase the UK & NI map and the speed camera alert . have a initial problem with it only find the first part of a post code but the guy at the UK help desk be brilliant , he email I a download , explain what to do . I download , follow instruction and now its great . I need to change the voice as some of Susan 's pronunciation be really funny but not much use . it do what I expect it to do and just about all the old Tom Tom do . I like that you get a mileage count down to you next instruction\/turning . useful on the motorway when you be say 5 junction from you turn it tell you you be say 5 mile to next instruction or on a remote country lane you think you near you turn but actually still 2 mile from it . I do not know how well it sit on a dash as I leave it cradle on my central console , it sit there nicely point in the right direction jam between the side of console and power plug . no give away mark when you remove it to glove box . it find the satellite ok . what I do not like : 1 . I be use to a Talex tell I I be near a speed camera and what the speed limit for the road be , that I be 100 meter from camera and to slow down if I be still over speed limit and warning of possible mobile speed camera . I be really disappoint with Tom Tom feeble beep to alert you . so I run my Talex and Tom Tom together . I guess the 35 pound for the camera upgrade would be value if you do not have a Talex but once you have have a Talex , TomTom camera alert just do not hack it . now if Tom Tom be to incorporate the full talex system of camera alert they product would , in my opinion , be 900 % better . 2 . when my Husband be drive and I be fiddle with the Tom Tom , its very easy to run you finger across the bottom of screen and accidentally turn the volume down , which I find out about 1 mile after we miss the turning . I know just leave the damn thing alone ! 3 . I miss the spousal argument about read map wrong , not know my leave from right , why do not you buy a decent map or I think I tell you to turn off there etc etc , need to find something else to occupy we long journey now . also I think we be miss out on find some great place we would not have see if we have not take the wrong turning and get lose . Sat Navs , a bit like computer do they really enrich we life ? anyway , we like it . it be get we to we destination in UK and USA so I would recommend it . +324 GPS POS 5 my wife be a personal assistant to a commercial real estate developer and a great portion of she time be spend run errand in area she be not familiar with . she have tell I of some close call she have in the car , as a result of travel slow to read street sign or address number . on other occassion she be delay when she have to stop to phone the destination and ask for direction -lrb- one of the few who will not talk on the cell phone while drive -rrb- . with the Garmin c340 she be able to give all she attention to drive , keep pace with the flow of traffic , and not experience delay to stop and get direction . she say she have reduce she errand time by 30 % , and reduce she auto expense by 10 % . I be a bit frustrated when I find the unit come with a quick start manual and you have to go to the Garmin web site to down load the full instruction manual . my wife be not concern as she have never read a instruction manual for anything and usually toss electronic gadget to I to figure it out for she . this thing be so complete and simple to use you do not need the instruction manual . I have to show she twice where the on\/off button be -lrb- one of the most prominent feature on the side of the unit ? -rrb- and then I go to download the manual . she keep come into the office to show I what she have learn to do with this thing . by the time I have the manual download , on a dial up line , she have figure everything out so I never read the manual ! I originally start look at the gp because a friend , who be a electronics wizard and write computer program for video game , have a tom-tom . he come to visit about two week after we receive the c340 and my wife be show he all the feature and he sit there with he tom-tom and keep say , `` Mine do not do that ! '' he call a week later and tell I that he know I be a little disappointed because my wife take the Garmin , and toss I she new road atla , and he offer to sell I he tom-tom cheap because he replace it with a Garmin c340 Streetpilot . the review , I read on Amazon , which inform that this unit tell you the street name of exit give great influence as to my selection of this unit as my wife travel to California for she employer , and we have relative in San Francisco . we now travel there and navigate the traffic like one of the local . in summary : I research every gp I could find for three month before purchase and the c340 be the most powerful at the affordable price ; this unit will pay for itself in reduce drive expense , at today 's gas price , in about 6 month if you run daily errand ; insurance company should give reduce rate to driver who have a gp as it allow you to focus on you immediate surroundings and not impede the regular flow of traffic . +131 GPS POS 5 wonderful , take it all over northern California include the bay area and mountain east , it even take we on forest road and never get lose during the two week in unfamiliar area . my mother be absolutely amaze and think someone live somewhere program each trip . +540 GPS NEU 3 some bad point : 1 . -rrb- the manual for the Magellan Road Mate 3030 4.7-inch portable GPS Navigator be hardly a manual at all . it lack basic simple instruction on how to use it . whoever be in charge of documentation should grab one of the Garmin or Motorola manual and learn how manual should be write . for the price one pay for these unit , Magellan should be able to afford to hire a better writer . 2 . -rrb- the unit lack a save function\/button after correction be make en-route during trip which have be incorrectly plot by the map system in the first place . it refuse to accept correction and keep reroute one via u-turn . later trip use the same start point and destination provide route with the same error . 3 . -rrb- the unit when purchase have NAV map , as show in the product description , and when that same product description be visit one week later the map be change to tele-atla . I be wonder whether it be legal for a company to switch the map system without notify consumer . 4 . -rrb- Magellan Road-Mates restrict registration of they unit to Windows Explorer browser and doe not allow you to register if one want to use other browser . and some good : 1 . -rrb- the screen be large and very clear . there be a variety of customization option like navigation and map settings\/preferences , auto-setting , and nice keyboard layout . 2 . -rrb- the speech be relatively clear when the volume be increase , although it suffer severely at time in pronunciation of certain letter and combination of letter . 3 . -rrb- Advance warning of upcome turn be well place and quick although call the bend on the SAME road should be eliminate . they confuse one about upcome actual turn . a bend in a road be not a turn , and cause the driver to look for a upcome turn \* off \* of the current road , which be what a turn mean . 4 . -rrb- I be give this unit a b - grade . +0 GPS POS 5 I 'll cut to the chase -- you will not find a better hand-held gp for the price . I do considerable research prior to purchase . the 450 be the best for the money -- accurate , touch menu drive -lrb- more menu option than most will ever need -rrb- -- very user friendly , however , because of the numerous feature , I recommend spend a few hour with the unit early on , so you will get the benefit of all of the feature . do a google search to find website that provide downloadable map for free that be compatible with the Garmin and have topographical feature -lrb- another reason to buy the 450 rather than the 450t -rrb- . you 'll end up with better topographical map for less $ $ . I have purchase 3 other GPS unit in the last few year , include 2 Garmin nuvi . after the initial satellite search which take a minute or so , the succeed power-up lock-on to a full compliment of satellite in seconds -lrb- often , literally 2-3 seconds -rrb- . I have never experience such a `` instant ready '' with any other GPS unit . bottom line : as good as they get ! +692 GPS POS 5 buy the 1300 LM for the life-time map and love how easy they update . sorry Amazon , best buy have it for $ 139 , great deal ! add custom pous file be simple as well . actually get this for my wife as a birthday present and she love it . would recommend this to anyone interested in a gp . +942 GPS POS 4 I love this thing . ok - my wife hate that I love it but she do not want to give I direction half the time anyway . so she argue with the way it route sometimes - which can be amusing . it be a excellent deal for the money at around $ 200 discount . the only feature it be lack be wifus which I buy a sdio card from e-bay for . of course browse on a pda be not as great a feature as it seem and when I be use the SDIO card , I do not have my 2gb sd card - oh yeah , you need a larger card to load more than a few state at once . when travel , it would be nice to have a usb travel charger to connect it to my laptop for power as the include wall wart + cable be a bit annoying to carry around and run out to the car to charge be also a pain . not sure about the reviewer complain about the mount - it be actually a lot better than I would expect but some cleaning of the windshield help to make it stick better . I have not have problem with the map be outdate either although I believe they be -lrb- ... -rrb- . my wife do like to play game on it - mainly the puzzle type so sometimes we fight over it . support be a bit slow but in the end come through for I . a few time in the begin it would crash on long trip but it have not crash in a while - I tell it to backup every now and then just in case . I would not recommend this to a non-technical person look for a gp to stay in the car as there be larger , more expensive model for this but for someone look for a pda with gp capability , it be a win-win for less than a cost of either in most case . +412 GPS POS 5 previous review highlight the many plus and a few minus feature , but as a moderately technical , but always lose person , I find the Garmin V to be my salvation . I like the `` find '' feature and the ability to find destination and route to they in a battery-saving `` inside mode '' before set off . best thing - easy to read display -lrb- backlit with cigarette adaptor for night -rrb- give several advance warning of next turn . go off the suggest route , the unit immediately recalculate to you destination . waypoint can be easily set to retrace a route . set up HOME mean I can easily find my way back without wander as I have in the past . the downloadable map be up to date and point of interest as restaurant , bank , gas station and hotel will be very useful when travel . the 19 mb of memory be the only downside . I can load all of the SF Bay area , but if I go to another area such as Sacramento or LA , I will have to do some swap -- I consider that a very minor inconvenience . i love this unit - it be everything I could ask for at a reasonable price . my husband like it as well and be amaze the satellite access be free . +315 GPS POS 5 I use the Garmin 76CSX for both professional and personal purpose and think it be excellent . I have use the older version -lrb- Garmin Map76 -rrb- for year -lrb- 2004-2009 -rrb- and recently update to this newer version . Antennae reception be incredible ; I keep it in my pocket all day and the device rarely miss a point while record my daily track -lrb- hike range from 15-25 km\/day -rrb- . the MapSource software be also fairly good , and you can download you track and waypoint to google earth without any trouble . I do not geocache so I can not provide any input in that regard , but I imagine it would be well suit for it . +360 GPS POS 5 this be one of the best gp we have purchase so far . the info about speed limit as we drive along the interstate particularly be a great feature . thanks . +146 GPS NEU 3 this gp work fine out of the box -lrb- trip home ,40 mile -rrb- . I try to update and get lifetime map . never happen . I already have the same model that be one year old that stop work , I think this be because the internet connection be momentarily disconnect . it never work since . I return the new one to Amazon and promptly receive a refund without question , I have make many purchase from Amazon , this be my first return , and it be a good experience and I will continue to purchase from they . with lot of look and compare model and make , I decide to buy another TomTom 6 '' Via and it work fine ... +624 GPS NEG 1 this be the worst car charger I have ever purchase . it dose not work most of the time and when it do it get so hot I be afraid it will catch fire . +273 GPS POS 5 be able to buy a new 3790t , locally for $ 363 , over the weekend . I go on a 500-mile trip through large and small city . find it to work better than the 1690 and 765 . more precise . faster . very please with the unit ... so far . I 'll provide more detail later . +596 GPS NEU 3 you might receive the 2008 version . apparently Amazon have mix stock . I recieve the v8 not the v9 order on 10\/27\/07 . I call customer service , and they could not assure I which version I would get if they send a replacement . sent my v8 back and will wait until I can get what be list . Amazon need to pull the old stock and sell as such . +505 GPS POS 4 I have a Nuvi 1490T as well . I do not think I would like the smaller size -lrb- 3.5 '' -rrb- , but it be really convenient to slip into a pocket for gp or camera use . I have be impress with the quality of the jpg picture . if there be one drawback to this unit , it be that the battery do seem to wear down quickly . I find that surprising , as the this replaceable battery be much bigger than most gp or cell phone battery . glad I buy it though . +71 GPS NEG 1 never pick up satellite signal to change from default Chicago location . too bad -- seem like good combination of feature and customizable tools\/preferences . +805 GPS POS 5 the Go 910 be definitely the best gp device out there today . I use it on a long sojourn on the East Coast over the fourth of July weekend and it never miss . before I leave I load up a bunch of playlist onto the device with plenty of room to spare !! before I leave I be concern about the mount droop in the hot weather . I do not know if people have try this , but you have to turn the dial on the mount such that it click in twice . there be a first click , then dial farther until the padlock symbol meet the dot . even in the 90-degree weather the dock do not move . voice have some trouble with street name , but still , with the text-to-speech it be nice to have something more than the generic `` turn right here . '' love the big screen , better than Nuvi 360 and the Streetpilot c550 , my next turn be always visible well in advance . phone conversation be clear and map accuracy be fine . a great product ! +857 GPS NEG 1 too much money for the real value that you will get back . it can take 15-20 minute to get satellite signal , intersection nor detailed like in tom-tom . I really want to re-sell it for half the price but nobody want this gp , money on the trash . +39 GPS POS 5 sturdy ! so glad I buy it . one side note , if you have a phone that charge on the left bottom side of you phone you will not be able to charge you phone in portrait mode . if you twist the mount around to landscape , you can put you phone top first in the bottom cradle make it to where you can charge you phone at the same time . this small issue be not a big deal , I still love this phone mount !! +808 GPS POS 5 Sweet GPS . I have go to multiple big city that I have never be to and get right where I want to go the first time every time . great great product . +77 GPS POS 5 I be impressed by the accuracy and sensitivity of this equipment . I go for a jog with this recently when I just receive it . the distance tracking be great with very good accuracy . it can be configure to stop the timer once you stop or jog on the spot due to various reason like traffic light \/ road junction wait time . just this distance , pace , and timing feature of this watch be already worthwhile for any runner to invest in . in the past , I have always enjoy run on the trackmill machine in the gym just because its able to give I the distance that I have run . but now , you can do it outdoor and enjoy the scenery while monitor you distance , pace , calorie burn , etc. . great ! +5 GPS NEG 1 I buy this product so that 4 computer could share one printer . Technically they can , you just have to logoff one computer before another can log on . something as simple as printing take 3 step . 1 -rrb- disconnect another connect computer . 2 -rrb- connect you computer . 3 -rrb- then print . this product be a waste of money . +475 GPS POS 4 I receive this gp device in mid December of 2006 and find that it work very well . the unit provide accurate direction and with the new SiRF chipset I be able to maintain a signal even in my house . I be a contractor and the main reason I purchase this unit be have the ability to find lumber yard , hardware store , etc. where ever I might be work and this functionality work great . there be two reason that this unit do not receive 5 star : 1 -rrb- even though there be 7 bazillion pous there have be case where large company store have not appear on the unit list -lrb- my local Lowe 's be a example -rrb- . 2 -rrb- several time I have take short trip -lrb- 10 - 15 minute -rrb- and within that time space the unit will still be in the `` acquire satellite '' mode . I have contact Garmin support and they suggest reset the unit . during these trip I know where I be go and do not need the device for direction however if I be rely on the unit to get I somewhere the 10 + delay acquire satellite would be annoying . despite my two note list above I would still buy this unit again and would recommend it . it be accurate , recalculate fast and be very easy to use . in fact it even keep the kid entertain . +45 GPS POS 5 I be very interested when I learn that there be product that allow the integration of a street map atla with a gp and laptop computer . sound like a excellent tool for travel . after explore a number of option on the web , it appear that the Delorme Earthmate with Street Atlas USA be the way to go , although I read as many bad review as good . the price be certainly reasonable and I decide , why not ? I must say that after two day of see what this thing can do , I be truly impressed . the Street Atlas be a breeze to set up and I love the feature that allow you to copy region to the hard drive , so this thing will run san CD . the include Earthmate GPS amaze I for its diminutive size and good construction , as I appreciate the inclusion of the rubber foot and rubber strip around the unit . within 5 minute the GPS have initialize and I become a green dot on the map show my neighborhood . I immediately jump into the car and wathch my progress on the screen as a friend drive I around town . the accuracy amaze I . then I get serious to see what this unit could do . if I have to make a negative comment , it would have to be the lack of instructional material . two -lrb- tiny -rrb- booklet come in the package that do little more than explain the setup . there be a tutorial build into the program , but it do not have the same functionality as a reference manual . however , if the lack of documentation be help to keep this package at this steal of a price , then I be all for it . after three-and-a-half hour of playing , I have a good handle on all of the feature of the software and be ready to plan my first trip . there be a great deal of information available on these map , include restaurant and lodging and service available off the various exit on the highway . you can enter the name of a restaurant , and Street Atlas will locate it for you on the map . you can then take the laptop\/gps combo in the car , and it will give you real time verbal instuction as you be drive . Pretty cool ! some of the `` point of interest '' be not in the right spot on the map , and some be long go , but I can not fault the software for not know that the pizza place at the shore go out of business six month ago . all in all , it be a package that appear to do what it be design to do . whether or not it be practical in the long run to have all this equipment run in the car -lrb- you can swap the laptop for a smaller device -rrb- have yet to be determine , but my first impression be actually beyond my expectation . +629 GPS NEU 3 it do not have the automatic route function . you have to set the route manually or spend some money to buy software to do that offline . if you be off the predefined route by mistake , you have to figure out how to get back to the route by yourself . but anyway , for this price , you really can not expect that much . +128 GPS NEG 2 I order this to take on vacation and receive it about a week before leave . it take 2 hour to download map through a dsl connection . there be nothing in the book about how to receive the traffic information . only after call do I find out that it be receive through the car adapter . it do not work . i email Tomtom and get a nonsense reply about ongoing issue that pertain to the live traffic edition . I call and get someone helpful who explain that many of the traffic receiver do not work . I be tell to mail the receiver back and they would replace it . i explain that I be go on vacation in 2 day . they say they would fedex a new adapter , but I be ready to leave and do not receive it . very disappoint . direction be good though . +134 GPS NEG 1 we be so happy when we buy we first GPS unit 8 month ago . but we experience with TomTom GO510 have be a frustrating one . the unit require frequent reset , sometimes right in the middle of unfamiliar place . if we ever forget to bring a pin , we have to resort to the good old map to get we out of the jam . to TomTom 's credit , it do replace promptly we dead unit after initial 2 month of use . but the unit consistently fail to find we California home , even after a most recent map update . grant , the housing development be only about 2 year old . but , we have report its coordinate to TomTom right after we receive the unit . it be even more ridiculous when the unit report error during a recent route computation from New Jersey to the JFK Airport . TomTom 510 be not worth the price . +538 GPS NEG 1 i buy this item and after 1 day it break . then i receive a replacement and the replacement do not last I 3 day , i think he quality be very poor ... ... . +821 GPS POS 5 it have so many feature that my other gp -lrb- a Magellan -rrb- do not have . I love the 5 inch screen ... easy to see without put on my read glass . I return the Magellan which freeze up ! I love the way I can customize my TomTom in so many way . the software that come with it be easy to use and work well , delete the French & Spanish voice be the first thing I do to free up more space . I love the share website to correct mistake or pous 's that be miss . since I get mine -lrb- at $ 109.99 regular price be $ 229.99 at best buy -rrb- I have sell two more to two of my buddy !! +339 GPS POS 5 I really enjoy my garmin nuvus 2360lmt . it look great in my cobalt and with purchase of eco-route hd give it even more acurate reading for economy and bonus for when you have a check engine light . I have a few bug with my nuvus when I get it because the seller sell I one that be once open register and use and then return . I work with garmin support and they get it all set up so it be not register to I with no problem . I can now update it and download stuff to it from garmin garage with ease . traffic be a great feature and be highly accurate from what I have notce . only down side I have with this device be the add but they do not pop up while drive and as often and you would imagine . +757 GPS POS 5 I be impressed and relieved know there be a 2yr warranty on this Garmin GPS watch I purchase . at least if something go wrong it can be take care of and I receive the papers in the mail shortly after purchase the Garmin watch . +364 GPS POS 4 you should buy a gp system base on 1 primary criterion , accuracy of direction . the Pioneer system be fast and provide logical direction without constantly provide needless information . beware of off brand , they can give you illegal direction . I test a cheap mio handheld and be be direct to make left turn when you be require to make a right and use a jug handle . this mistake cause potential traffic accident and longer than necessary trip when be reroute . the PIO feature be nice , but I do not use it as often as expect . the bluetooth speaker option be awesome , and worth at least $ 100 for the safety factor . +539 GPS NEG 1 the review be more for how well Garmin handles\/supports they product . . e-mail they tech support a few day ago because my new 60csx be not indicate a `` d '' fix -lrb- waa -rrb- or any signal from a PRN above 30 . Got this in reply : `` I 'll be glad to help . the new SiRF unit be not really capible of obtain a WAAS fix at this time . alone , the unit can get down to 6-7 foot of accuracy without WAAS , and accord to engineer , even with WAAS the correction be less than 6 inch at best . at this time , I be not sure if they will go though the effort to make the unit work with waa or not . most likely the option will be drop with future update because of the lack of benefit . '' umm right . . First of all the box indicate that it be WAAS enable , the website say it be WAAS enable , and there be gob of other user on the Groundspeak forum who be get dgp fix and much better EPE 's than I be . my older unit be outperform circle around this thing . it have some of the worst positional drift that I have see in a hh gpsr . -lrb- sit on a chair in my backyard for 30 minute this afternoon , the trip odometer log .6 mile -rrb- as such , I have have it for a couple of week and consider it not much more than a pretty paper weight . the unit have excellent ttff , be great to look at\/use in any condition . but have be sell on a WAAS unit only to have a tech rep tell I that the packaging do not match the product get I a little rile up . truth in advertising anyone ? I be gunna confirm this issue with other at Garmin , and if what the rep tell I wind up be true , I be go to pursue it with the FTC ... +833 GPS POS 5 I have be mean to get this product for a while and I use to borrow my friend 's all the time which be exactly the same model so I know I 'll like this one . the packaging be nice and everything come in the box be new . it be just the right size to attach to the windshield -lrb- or wherever -rrb- and it seem to endure heat very well too since I have have to use it a couple of time in extremely hot weather and the gp be pretty much `` boil '' after the car would be park in the lot for a while . I also like the recalculate function very much . +482 GPS NEG 2 after have the 3760t for over a week , I be really disappointed . first , I think the price be way out of line compare to the feature list on other GPS unit at a lower cost . also , the print show street name be so small it it hard to see , let alone read . I have a nuvus 350 that be much better in provide larger print . I also have a NUVI 1450 with lifetime traffic that I really love , but it keep shut off and I have to return it to the retailer . I would have buy the 1490t but I be afraid that it be the 1450 only with traffic and the same circuitry and it might wind up shut off , also . right now , I be not a big fan of Garmin unit . msybe I be expect too much . right now I think I want to return the 3760t even if it mean pay the restock fee and shipping cost . +935 GPS POS 5 I get this from amazon for $ 450 . it be worth every penny ! I have use it daily since I just move to Tampa - it be a pretty big city but I get around without any problem thanks to the Nuvi ! +726 GPS POS 5 I have be use a older Garmin GPS in my car for some time . it be not a street pilot , it be a Garmin III . I buy the TomTom go 300 and can not believe how good it be . the ttg 300 include everything you need : detailed map of the usa on the 1 gb sd card with those map and additional map on cd . it have mount hardware , power cord , etc. but you probably know all that . I be impressed with how well it pick up the satellite signal . my Garmin would never pick up a signal inside the house , and it would often not find one on a cloudy day . the ttg work fine in both case . the voice be clear and loud -lrb- adjustable -rrb- and you can have it give you a new instruction at any time . it will navigate to a address , a nearby `` point of interest '' -lrb- bank , airport , park , hotel ... -rrb- . and it will find alternate route if you hit a roadblock or just do not like the suggest route . you can tell it to build route that be fastest , shortest , for biking or walking . you can avoid toll or not . I really like the choice . I think the screen be easy to see and the screen update be plenty fast . so far the map datum have be fairly accurate . around my home town I notice that some road that be 3 year old be miss , but I would expect that . the TTG will show you on the road even if the map datum be a little off . in other word , it will snap you position to the map road even if you drive off it a little . but if you go far enough off a road , it will show you exactly where you be -lrb- in the middle of field or whatever -rrb- . the menu be very easy to use . much easier than I expect . you use the touchscreen to pick a city , street , address , and you be off . it do have the 3-d view of the map which be similar to the view out you window , but I still prefer the typical 2-d map view . you can see more street that way . the point of interest database have lot of place . I do not know the exact number of category but I would estimate there be at least 25 category -lrb- bank , airport , rental car , amusement park , gas , theater , courthouse , police , hospital , doctor , dentist , border crossing , zoo , etc. -rrb- and you can create you own category and add place . I do not find a list of ATM 's , however , and this would have be useful . you can also view the satellite signal strength , battery life , and actual Lat\/Long . I wish you could enter a Lat\/Long as a destination , but alas , you can not . as other people have say , it be very difficult to see in bright sun . at time , I have to reposition it to reduce glare , but this inconvenience would not stop I from buy it again . I have not use the bluetooth feature and can not really see myself pay for the subscription feature . overall , it be a very powerful navigator . it come on when I start the car and go off when the car stop -lrb- because the cigarette lighter go off -rrb- . it be very easy to use and very easy to follow . I actually want to take more trip now just to let the ttg figure out the best way to get there . and now my friend all want one . I see Garmin now have a similar model , which I have not try . but I would still buy the ttg again if I be shop for one . Update 4 month later ... I still like the unit and its function , but as other have say , the map datum and route be disappointing at time . it always get I where I want , but half the time it seem to take I the longer way . it seem to be reluctant to put I on a freeway for short trip , even when it be faster . and I have not really compare this to another brand , except for the system in the the Audi a4 , which do seem to do a better job : even know what side of the street you destination be on . but that be not a after-market system . so if I be shop for a after-market system today , I would most likely still buy the Tom Tom for the feature , but I would take a close look at the route be suggest while drive . +983 GPS POS 4 I buy this unit for hike and hunting in the Rockies . like other reviewer have say there be alot to like about it . Garmin do a great job of packing 10 lb of stuff in a very small package . but , there be some negative to point out . the button and user interface software be the weakest point . because the unit be small , the button be on the side except for the `` click stick '' . I have a hard time use the `` stick '' with glove on and invariably push down when I mean to push to a side as a example . I also have a hard time press the small side button with glove on . I find some of the screen and menu option counterintuitive but learn to navigate they after several mis-step . battery usage be high . screen size be small so this probably be not a unit you want to use in a vehicle . +94 GPS POS 4 recently purchase the TOm TOm with european map . it work well except for pronunciation of certain word that be not completely clear . +170 GPS POS 5 while I often work out in the gym use a treadmile I do occasionally run outdoors and I will do more outdoors as the weather in mn improve as we move into spring and summer . what I really like about the 305 be its ability to track what I do outdoors use the gp -lrb- location \/ distance \/ heart rate -rrb- , and indoors on the treadmill use use the foot pod -lrb- purchase separately -rrb- and then upload the datum to my pc so that I can track my progress -lrb- and for the outdoor run see on a map where I go -rrb- . it be very encouraging as I lose weigh and gain stamen to actually see how my heart rate be now lower with higher level of exercise , and how my average speed be increase as well . I also like be able to always monitor my heart rate - which while I be run outdoors be important for I to know as I do not want to exceed the maximum rate for my age -lrb- and before I get this unit I be not sure how close I be get -rrb- . so the combination of all these thing make this a winner for I . the only downside I have find so far be that I would rather see my speed in MPH vs. my pace in min\/mile but that be pretty minor . also you can not display map on the 305 , just show the track of where you have be . I be not expect to be able to load map so this be not a take away for I , I just want to mention this for other potential buyer . +232 GPS POS 5 I have debate on if it be worth pay more to basically get a voice activate feature . I do not know why I wait . it have be wonderful to be able to talk to the gp and get direction right away . there be a few issue with it recognize certain word , but overall , I can do about 90 % of the thing I want through this feature and then just type the few that I can not . I also love the traffic feature . I live in a metropolitan area that be often bog down by traffic or accident and it warn I in plenty of time to be able to travel a different route if I so choose to . +234 GPS NEG 1 travel from norther Michigan to Indianapolis , in the middle of the night , this unit direct I off the highway way before I be to get off . travel about twenty minute I come to a town , the road be close and there be no way around the town area to proceed further . . we waste a hour at 1am , when we should have reach we destination and be in bed . . instead , we have to turn around , drive all the way back to the highway ... then trust this instrument to bring we in from another location . . I have not trust this unit since ... I have try to hook up to we computor and TomTom do not recognize my password , and no matter how hard I try , I can no longer up date my TOMTOM ... I be very dissappointed in this unit . . and try to find a phone number seem impossible . . also , it have time of not show street name when you need they . . they color line cover the street name ... it be difficult to find where to navigate so you can look at the route it be provide you . . I would rather spend more time do seventy on the highway , than a direct , unfamiliar two lane road in the dark , no service station ... I have hold this next my friend 's Garmin , no comparison . . Garmin hand down win . . +520 GPS POS 5 what can I say ? it have two independent zipper , that close like a nice piece of luggage , and a large clip to attach the case to another object -lrb- belt loop , etc. -rrb- to free one 's hand . the case be make of very sturdy shock resistant , molded plastic , the interior have a mesh net divider between the gp and whatever GPS accessory one might place behind it . there be two elastic strap to help secure the gp as well , on the opposite side of the case . I use ours on three recent vacation trip , and I would buy this case again , and would certainly recommend it to anyone in the market for a great 5 '' gp carry case . the case come as advertise , on time , and in perfect condition . the price be right as well . +191 GPS POS 5 this Garmin do all that we hope and more . I be glad that we purchase this model and highly recommend it to other . +358 GPS POS 5 I buy this sleeve to protect my Garmin Nuvi from scratch . it fit the 5 '' screen model perfectly , and it be a great value at the price . there be 2 zippered pocket . one for the GPS unit and another smaller pocket for random thing . however the smaller pocket be only large enough for small item such as memory card . the material use be the same as any other neoprene sleeve you would find on the market so no surprise there . I do not find any issue with odor when it first arrive . Products like this typically have odor when first manufacture , and it dissipate over time . I would recommend this product for people who be just look for a cover when they store they gp in they car . the Garmin leather case look much nicer , but I do not use the gp outside of my car , so there be no point in have a expensive case . +26 GPS NEG 2 I have have my 910 for just over two year . some time ago I notice the battery charge be not last as long as when it be new . Pretty soon it would not hold a charge at all and then would not even operate when plug into a power source . when I call the customer support , they seem to know immediately the battery be shoot . I will have to send it in for a repair . BTW , they will not ship to a apo address even though the unit be purchase from a apo address . I 'll look at Garmin for my next navigator . +85 GPS NEG 1 I receive the 3790T Garmin GPS for my birthday at the end of July . it be beautiful , thin and sleek . the feature that it tout be amazing . the picture clarity be impressive . we use the GPS for a trip to Canada and it perform well -lrb- minus a few exception of it alert we to traffic congestion , when there be none . -rrb- shortly after that it begin to have difficulty turn on . on a trip to a nearby city , I want to find alternate route to my destination , after it finally turn on , it would not recalculate the route in time for I to make the necessary directional change . the popup ad be terrible , I do not really care for $ 5.99 all you can eat Sushi . once those stupid ad pop up , they would not clear from the screen so I could continue navigate -lrb- the screen would freeze -rrb- . after that trip , when I return home I shut off the gp and it never turn on again . I try reset it , charge it etc. , it still would not turn on . what a disappointment . I have not even have the GPS for two week before it break . I too have issue with it get hot , but live someplace that we use the ac year round , so I would turn the ac unit on to the defrost mode and it would cool the GPS unit down . I be disappointed that my new GPS unit fail after only two week and I despise the stupid popup ad . I like the feature that this gp be suppose to offer , but I doubt I will go with another Garmin due to the poor quality . +281 GPS POS 4 I be a certified Home Health Aide for the visit Nurses Association of Central Jersey . my territory cover all of Monmouth County . there have be time in the middle of my day that a call from the office have change my schedule and my path of travel . a hard copy of travel direction be cumbersome , inflexible , and actually dangerous to read as I be drive . the Garmin StreetPilot have make my assignment so much easier to reach without the fear of get lose . +23 GPS NEG 1 I buy this navigation system 3 month ago because I do not want to pay close to the same price to update my Garmin map , but I now realize that be a mistake . the Garmin I buy over two year ago still surpass the technology of the TomTom . the quality of the graphic on the TomTom be significantly inferior . TomTom -lrb- with up-to-date map -rrb- can not find neither of my parent ' house -lrb- grant , one live in a newly establish neighborhood but be still over a year old , while the other life in a older neighborhood and street -- over 10 year old -rrb- . additionally , when the address be consider `` valid '' , TomTom announce you have arrive once you be in the vacinity of you destination . at this point , you have to look around -lrb- either to the left or right because it do not indicate that either -rrb- for the exact location . another feature I like from my old Garmin be that it tell I which street -lrb- and direction -rrb- to turn on , so when you have street close together , you be sure to turn on the right one . with TomTom , I have often turn on the wrong street and one time , it even have I go through a parking lot to get to a main road . finally , once I reach either of my parent 's house , it would have be nice to add `` current location '' to my favorite , but that be not a option -lrb- at least that I find -rrb- . to end on a positive note , I do love the screen and the information it display -lrb- outside of the graphic -rrb- . +932 GPS POS 5 I have try several other mount platform -lrb- suction cup , vent mount , spiderpodium -rrb- and hand down , this unit be better than all of they . it be extremely stable and the phone can be use in both portrait or landscape mode . great product . +214 GPS NEU 3 I have take some pretty good picture with this camera . operate it be very easy . have not try it ` s underwater capability . it be video performance be pathetic , awful ... it may well be that I be do something wrong , though . all in all , nice camera . +318 GPS POS 5 the 5 inch screen make it easy to follow . while update the map , my computer shut down and I lose map . they tech support get I up and run within 10 minute . the best tech support I ever encounter +92 GPS POS 5 this product be a great product and reasonably price . overall experience with the Amazon and the Garmin be first rate . +497 GPS POS 4 we purchase two Garmin nuvus 350 's for Christmas gift . both be work great . I do have a issue when nuvus try to take I over the collapse Interstate 35 Bridge in Minneapolis -lrb- collapse August 1st will not be rebuild until next year -rrb- but when I take one of the two road I could off the ramp it do route I to the address which be great . sometimes I 'll put in a address when I leave home and it will try to take I a route that be not quite regular but when I go the route I know it correct itself . maybe the route it designate be better but I have not try that yet . overall , a great tool and wonderful help in find location quickly . +377 GPS POS 5 this gp just overcome my expectation . size : the 5 inch display be just perfect . and it make a huge difference when compare with the 4,3 inch model . map : be very accurate , be impress with the street picture it be show I for the highway exit . Lowlight : while exit the highway for gas station , some time the gp would not realize that it would be faster come back to the same exit rather then get a sideway until the next highway exit . interactivity : I think this be han overall problem from gp device . they touch screen interactivity be still ver poor compare with other portable device as tablet and smart phone . if you be use to you smartphone touchscreen , you will be frustrate when try to navigate in the gp map to findout about the route surounding , or to set a new destination through the map . -lrb- again this be a problem in all gp I fave use , this garmin one be nevertheless still better than other . -rrb- +221 GPS POS 5 this print server be very easy to install . I buy a d-link wireless print server about 2 year ago that be a real pain to install -lrb- which later break after a power surge -rrb- . I have be put off get a new one because I think that walk to the printer to plug in my usb cord be easier than install another print server -- I be wrong . this one could not have be easier to install ! I would definitely recommend this print server ! +337 GPS POS 4 the watch be really durable and have stand the test of time . I have drop it sereral time and it still keep work fine . the main reason I give it four star instead of five be the time it take for the satellite to find you at some location that I go to . many time I stand out by the road wait to run for five minute until it finally pick I up . but once it do , it work great and I never run without it ! awesome workout companion . it be cool to see how fast you be go and how far you have run . plug it into you computer and it will map you run on Google Maps and tell you you pace at any certain point so you can see where you need to improve ! it have so many feature that I have not even figure the whole thing out yet . it also keep track of you history right on the watch . really keep you motivate to run when you can get this frequent feedback on progress ! +733 GPS POS 5 I be hesitant to purchase the Garmin 205 as it look bulky . I prefer the 405 , however , be hesitant to spend that amount of money when the review be not absolutely rave about it . anyway , I receive the 205 and start use it the follow day . I absolutely love it ! I do not notice the bulkiness when I be run and it be easy to move between screen . I be primarily use it for interval work and it be great . I want to customize some of the workout and have not quite get that figure out yet , but I think I just need to re-read the instruction . Money well spend and I would definitely buy it again . I be no longer think about the 405 as I be very happy with the 205 . +33 GPS POS 5 my wife buy I , in early July , 2011 , the 305 as a replacement \/ upgrade for my 205 , which I have since November 2008 . want the heart rate function SHORTLY after I get the 205 . now I have it . Works good , just like the 205 . +196 GPS POS 5 make it possible to wear the ForeRunner outside the sleeve of you jacket - the extender even make it fit outside several layer of clothing and above the wrist . I use the ForeRunner to navigate home on ski through whiteout condition in the mountain - have it on my arm so that I could see it all the time without have to take off my glove or put aside my skiing pole . in -10 degree c -lrb- 14 degree f -rrb- that be kind of nice . look for a really useful GPS unit ? Make sure you can use it in really cold condition without freezing you finger to icicle ... for normal use , I find this strap work much better than the regular plastic wrist strap which come with the unit , and be very comfortable - especially on sweaty skin . note : I would not recommend the ForeRunner as you only or primary wilderness gp -lrb- one reason be that the battery be not replaceable -rrb- . and do not leave home without a map and a compass - and the knowledge to use they ... +353 GPS NEG 1 I be a avid Magellan user . I have a business in which I need to be navigate to different location everyday , and have buy at least 2 Magellan GPS ' in the past . I crack the screen on my last one , and need a new one , and decide to try Amazon to purchase my next one . -lrb- I be also a avid Amazon user . -rrb- this gp be purchase for a cheaper price , supposedly not use or refurbish , brand new , and in the box . it arrive on time , and work seemingly as it should for about 4 day . after that , every time I attempt to enter in a destination , a screen pop up that read `` you device need to be restart to increase it be performance . '' all of a sudden , I have a brand new gp that would not allow I to put in a destination . it let I enter HOME however , which suck cause I usually know how to get myself home . but as for my business purpose , which be what I buy it for , it be useless . I now have a $ 160.00 piece of machinery that do nothing but sit in my windshield view and make I very angry whenever I drive , because I be look at Google Maps direction , instead of a gp . I would not recommend this seller . at all . +62 GPS NEG 1 I have just purchase the new c330 StreetPilot through Amazon.com . every time I turn it on it give I message : `` can not unlock map -lrb- ok -rrb- '' . the map be not load I be get only basic map layout . I have reset the unit without result . Garmin technical support be unreachable by phone . I be tell it will take they 5 day to respond by Email . this be quite ridiculous situation . I own 3 other Garmin product and those be work fine . +723 GPS POS 4 if you need a gp but doesnt wanna shell out that much , well , this be the one to buy . apart from the fact that it be affordable , it be very compact too . +828 GPS POS 4 from a feature\/function perspective , the edge 800 be a fantastic device ... when it work ! some of the problem I have have multiple time include -lrb- but definitely not limit too -rrb- ... speed go to Zero randomly , then the device will auto-pause cause loss of datum . last 3 ride the device encounter a waypoint error in which it suddenly show I travel 1000 's of mile completely throw off all my datum field include average speed , distance , elevation , etc. . I have have average speed reach 15,000 mph . Corrupt fit file on the device that prevent I from upload datum to Garmin connect . in short , I would not purchase this item until Garmin fix all the software bug with a new version firmware . if and when they do , I will rate the product at 4-5 star as it be a great gp when work . -lrb- at the time of this post , current firmware version be 2.1 -rrb- UPDATE - all technical issue have be resolve by Garmin via software update . Hopefully Garmin will stop use they customer as software tester . +391 GPS NEG 1 there GPS 's use to be good . I have a old Garmin 750 and I love it be fast and work . this 1350 be a po . slow and the traffic be useless ... I can get on my phone with google map and get better update . I no longer like Garmin GPS 's +393 GPS POS 5 thanks for these garmin nuvus 1490t . very beautiful . strong -rrb- and price appropriately . Ouseltna and at the right time thankyou for sale thank you for amazon thank you for myus +640 GPS POS 5 I receive my Garmin 350 last night and could not wait to try it out . I take a road trip over to Manassas , VA , about 15 mile away and it get I to where I want to go without a hitch . Ok , so it add a turn that I would not have take , since I know where I be go , but that be no big deal . it get I there and the voice direction be great ! it give you plenty of advanced warning as to what lane you should be in for the next turn . after I arrive in Manassas , I select a shopping mall over in Woodbridge , VA and it take I over there , once again , without a hitch . this morning I use it on the way to work , just to see how it would route I . I work at the Pentagon and live about 29 mile south . the Garmin do not miss a beat , until I get to the road that lead in to the south parking area . it be go to route I around the block to get into south parking , but I know a shorter route and take it . either way , it be no big deal , because the Garmin would have get I to the same location about 45 seconds later . if I have be in a strange place , I would not have be the wiser . I be truly impress with this gp and I be sure I 'll get a lot of use out of it . +709 GPS POS 5 have use the camera a few week and be impressed . take sharp and clear picture top side and work well down at 33 ' underwater . the GPS feature be amazing . Money well spend on a carry everywhere camera . Walt +428 GPS NEG 2 purchase in March ' 12 . bad connection w \/ charge mechanism within gp to start with . map update become available and everything become a big mess ! file go miss , have to contact Garmin via several email & countless phone call . just one big headache . also buy a car charger that the cord split within 2 mo . and be return a `` refurbish '' one . spend a little more $ $ $ and hopefully get a better product . +27 GPS POS 4 First GPS I have ever buy , but seem to work well most of the time . I really like be able to give it voice command via a microphone . it be a big safety plus . only thing that concern I be that sometimes it tell you to turn leave when it should say right and right when it should be leave . I find I have to double check its left verse right recommendation against the actual map which have yet to be wrong . Acquisition time and sensitivity have not be a problem for I . all of the road in my neighborhood be on the map although some be not where they should be -lrb- gp show you drive about 20 foot away -rrb- . the software be so feature rich that figure it out take a while . do not wait until you in a move vehicle to learn the software . +125 GPS NEG 1 the suction cup to stick it to the window do not work well . the thing keep fall down while drive . the unit be way too big . the GPS itself be 4 inch and then the unit itself be about a inch and a half additional . I end up just cut my lose and throw this piece away . +865 GPS POS 5 Mountek mt5000-c be a outstanding mount . it be perfect for what I buy it for . I use it to secure my iphone4 while drive in my Highlander . it do not obstruct the driver from use the -lrb- factory install -rrb- radio whatsoever . it be both easy to install and remove without any tool . my only minuscule issue with the Mountek be that although it will hold my Ipod Nano -lrb- 5th gen -rrb- , it be not exctly make for that job . if you be look for a extremely high quality mount at a very fair price for hold you iphone or navigational device , this be what you seek . +127 GPS NEG 1 I be about 3 hour into this thing and still no fix , I hope it would be plug and play ... ... +633 GPS POS 5 all i have to say be that GARMIN be one the best company that i have ever deal with . I have -lrb- 3 -rrb- GARMIN GPS 's . the c340 be a excellent piece to have in you car . I will not go into as to how good it be , because all of the other comment below speak for itself ... what i would like to emphamize be the warranty and service from they . I have recently have my c340 fall due to the window mount fail -lrb- that be another issue that i have address to they about -rrb- and the screen crack , ect . . well , then be not only fix it for I under warranty , but they be also give I at no charge a new tripod mount for the dashboard which be over a $ 50 value ... . THEY ROCK ... I will not buy any other brand other then Garmin and neither should you ! +427 GPS NEG 1 I get one of these piece of junk for my birthday a year ago - I think it have work a total of once . first , the mount arm do not keep the product at a angle where it can be view . I contact TomTom and they tell I that my mount arm be not part of a recall of mount arm - so I have to buy a new one . I do - twice - neither work . I call TomTom again and they tell I that the mount arm frequently malfunction when the temperature be over 80 degree - I live in Texas - the temperature be over 80 degree 6 month of the year . next , I have to constantly restart the TomTom - it seem to not like to work for more than a couple of hour at a time . then , yesterday , I try to restart it and nothing happen so I box the whole thing up -lrb- 3 docking arm and all -rrb- and mail it back to TomTom . save you money - get a Garmin ! +788 GPS POS 5 I decide to purchase this watch to help I train for a half Marathon . what a great training aid ! this watch can do just about anything you can imagine . naturally , it record you precise pace and distance , which be helpful , but it also allow you to set up a advanced workout . for example , if you be suppose to run 3 mile , then run 4 2 minute aerobic interval and then run another 3 mile , you can program this on you watch so that while you be run , the watch will notify you when you need to speed up or slow down . the watch also come with a heart rate monitor . after each run , I like to review how I do on each section of the training -lrb- i.e. pace , heart rate , etc. -rrb- the program be easier to set up on you computer than on the watch , but once the software be install , it be very user friendly and just take a couple of seconds to sync to the watch . I never run without the watch anymore ! the watch also have mode that be specific to other activity such as biking , but so far I have only use it for run . I would highly recommend this watch for anyone who be serious about training for a race , or even someone who just want to have a easier way to monitor and improve his\/her workout . +708 GPS POS 4 I like the 76 that I buy several year ago so much that I want another in the same series when I upgrade . this be so much quicker , and it have so many new feature , especially greatly increase memory , and it cost considerably less than the 76S . the one thing I have find lack be that the tide feature the 76 have only come with another $ 120 + of marine software for the 76CSX . we live near salt water and it add to the usefulness when we be camp if we know what the tide be do . be there anyway I can download this into my new GPS ? +775 GPS POS 4 I purchase the Garmin 205 to replace a run watch of the variety that include a `` foot pod '' send datum to my watch . the Garmin watch have prove to be significantly more accurate in its measurement of distance . furthermore , I have not have any problem whatsoever with maintain a gp signal while run on overcast day or through area of dense foliage . the watch pick up a signal quick enough when I first turn it on -lrb- usually allow I time to stretch a bit while wait -rrb- . recharge the watch be very easy and much more affordable than the special battery I need to purchase for both my old watch and its foot pod . another big plus in use this watch compare to my old watch be that this watch can be use for biking as well . the only downside to this watch compare to my old system be have to connect the watch via usb to the computer to upload datum -lrb- the other watch send datum without any kind of physical connector -rrb- . overall , I be very pleased with this purchase and would definitley recommend it to other runner . +655 GPS NEG 2 my recently acquire RINO 530 unit frequently lock up when in use in the field . sometimes I can use the power button to reset it , but other time I have to remove the battery to get it to reset . if you be rely on this to keep in emergency contact with other hunter and\/or hiker , be prepare to check it frequently , as when it lock up , the radio also cease to operate . I notice from other review of rino -lrb- eg the 130 -rrb- that this be a family problem . another more serious design flaw be that the antenna have already work loose after just 4 day of use in the field . perhaps this be because I use it to pull the unit out of my pocket -lrb- but give the size of the 530 with it li-ion brick pack , that be about the only way to get it out -rrb- . the antenna -lrb- actually the rubber cover -rrb- be merely glue to the top of the unit , and as the antenna flex under normal use , its just a matter of time before it will come off . there be few glue that can stick to flexible rubber well , and this be not one of they . this clearly do not live up to the ` ruggedness ' claim in Garmin 's spec . I like the feature this unit offer ; great color display -lrb- with day and night setting change at sundown to aid visibility -rrb- , great battery life -lrb- never a strong point for its etrex model -rrb- , and a powerful radio . also , it be very fast at acquire satellite signal by virtue of it be 2d - -rrb- 3d mode transitional lock ; something my eTrex Legend have be very slow to do . however , give the two problem note above , I must return this to the manufacturer and wait for a better offering . that be a shame as Garmin have corner the market for integrate radio\/gps device , so I can only hope they get this ready for market before the next season be upon we . +559 GPS POS 4 someone write a review say this do not work in they Scion xb . I purchase this for use in 2008 Scion xb with the factory upgrade stereo -lrb- the one with the animated graphic -rrb- . installation work fine for I and it fit my Samsung Droid Charge in a Otterbox case . you 'll have to remove the bottom bracket and slide you charge down a bit to use the micro usb port when it be in the Mountek . it do not fit my TomTom XL 340s gp by itself . it may fit if you attach the factory supply suction ring to the back and use that for the Mountek to hold onto , but I no longer have that and therefore could not test it out . +129 GPS POS 5 just like the review claim , this be waterproof and the quality be pretty good . I like that you can change the angle to cut out the glare and it have a hole for a charge cord which be located in the bottom so moisture do not sneak in . long motorcycle trip be much better with gp , really enjoy this little thing . +209 GPS POS 4 the unit purchase do the job , however list a bit misleading as it be not actually like the Garmin Original as there be no fuse . other than this good product so far . +18 GPS POS 5 we be very happy so far with this product especially b\/c of the life time map and traffic update ! do not underestimate the traffic update even for extra $ 20 b\/c it be very helpful as a good reminder of speed limit wherever you go ! +639 GPS NEG 2 it be a case and work as a case should but on hindsight , I should have buy a larger one that take the car charger and the windscreen mount as the first time I use the GPS , I inadvertently leave the windscreen bracket in the rental car as it be too big to fit in this case with the the car charger . +486 GPS POS 5 this be the 2nd gp we have buy . out of the box we just love it . so many POI , very easy to use , you do not even have to read the manual . love the WIFI , seem to work pretty good . I have some problem get it to sign on but still a nice feature . the one thing I really like about it be the next turn be on display , and that really help . the 2nd best feature be once you reach you destination the gp do not keep try to send you back to you location when you leave . for the price of $ 120 , buy it ! +774 GPS POS 4 I install this gp in my car and use it daily . GPS 's have come a long way in the past couple of year . this unit have a rapid acquisition time and very good monochrome display . I drive through rural area and as long as you load the detailed map for that region , the GPS will do a great job of select a route and finding just about any address . it do well in the dense city too . if you use the gp at night , you really need to use the car 's power instead of battery . you can do this by hardwire the unit into the car or use the supply cigarette lighter adapter . it be difficult to see the display in the evening and at night without the background light . the refresh rate of the unit be acceptable , just barely though . once you give the unit a destination , it do a wonderful job beeping and give you ample warning that a turn be come up . in future generation of this unit , it need more RAM , larger display , and faster processor . but , I find it a great navigation tool and doubt that I will get lose use it . +366 GPS NEG 2 good while it work . quit work after 11 month . I hope I get good service from Magellan . otherwise I will reduce it to 1 star . one thing I do not understand , why people complain that the unit be too big ??? be not that why you buy this ? Kinda like complain about a car you buy and reduce the rating because it be too red . +648 GPS POS 4 we get we Garmin just before a trip to Southern Spain and Portugal . we purchase the optional european map and be amaze with how it help we with the tiny street in the city with no street sign and the small and large road in the country side . we have a few small problem but they may have be we learn how to use it . +883 GPS POS 5 this gp be a great buy for several reason : \* quick and strong satallite reading \* good basic feature -lrb- let you set the format for lat\/long . that you prefer -rrb- \* price be a great buy - free shipping here at Amazon . \* gp be accurate - especially when it begin recieve a WAAS signal : -rrb- if you have no need for street map or computer link-up ability , I strongly recommend this product . +345 GPS POS 5 this be a terrific navigation system , and so easy to use ! my husband and I both purchase for we car and we no longer have to worry about direction again ! I have not have any problem with the system not find a street address like I experience with other model in the past . I would definitely recommend to anyone that be shop for a gp . +439 GPS POS 4 I go out of town to Las vegas and take my new Garmin with I . it work great ! I be able to find my way around town , and even into the desert . the traffic option be cool , but there be a occasional popup . but free traffic info be worth the small blurb . the search function , which I use to find hotel be a bit laggy . if you have a address , it be quick . all around a great device . this be my first Garmin . I buy a Tom Tom at a discount deal-a-day website , and be painfully disappoint . this be a great value with unlimited lifetime map . very accurate . +16 GPS NEU 3 i love this telescope . you should know this thing be a monster when it come to weight . I do not have a designate place for it , so i have to move it in and out of the house , it can be a pain in the a \*\* . but the optics so far be amazing . light gathering power be amazing . it be pricey but if it keep perform the way it have , it be worth it . i take some photo of the moon and jupiter with it , i will post they . I be a amateur amateur photographer and stargazer , the photo be not as good as some take by some of the more seasoned folk . reason for 3 star ? well , star align be the reason why I choose this particular telescope , and it do not work . I have look up and read a lot about this problem , and unless you have a very big sky where the weak gp system can get signal through , you will not be able to star align . hill around you house , mountain near by or tall wall around the yard will hinder the star alignment , be aware ! otherwise , spend the green and enjoy : -rrb- +917 GPS NEG 1 simply put , i get it out of the box , try to charge my iphone on any of the 2 port in 4 different car . . it never work , maybe the product be loose or defetive . . I do not know Update : as the reviewer say below , mine also come with the name as Lenmar and not xtg I do not know if that change anything +408 GPS POS 5 I buy this for my father for father 's day last year because he have to drive a average of 6 hour a day for he work and sometimes have to drive to other state where he doese not know much about the road . he be use a old Garmin that he work give he that be aboout 10 year old . it be good , but it be tiny and he eyesight be not what it use to be . ever since I get it for he he have love it . the screen be really big so he have no problem see it , the picture be really lively and have good color , and be very descriptive in how it mark the road , body of water , yourt location , the route to take , and where to turn . the voice be very clear -lrb- there be only one -rrb- , and when ever you be to make a turn it make a sound like ding-dong , with the pitch different for go left , right , or straight . if you do not like that you can turn it off or choose a different sound in the option . the highway assist feature be really good , where it show green highway sign and then light up the one for you to take . there be alot option about what you want it to show on the screen , like the time , eta , you cadinal direction , elevation , speed , ect . the UI be also very good and easy to use , and when you put in a address it use the feature where you only have to type in a few letter of of a address and it block out the letter that do not make any sense , and it give you a listing of the address which be close to it and you can choose from they . my Dad say he really like that feature . a word about the mount : if you be go to use this for any great amount of time , you should get the extend mount that Magellan sell . the basic mount it come with be just ok but pretty cumbersome and clumsy . the extend mount be like the same end piece but its attach to a big arm that attach to you windshield instead of you dash . my father hasent have any trouble update the firmware . this do not have any feature like mp3 playing or photo album but my Dad say people at he work have Garmin Nuvis with those feature and he do not need they . you can watch movie play from a laptop on this though if you have the right cable , it also have a sd slot . this gp be so good that one time my parent stay over at a motel and leave this on the windshield , and someone smash in the window and steal it . so I have to get he another one . so over all , this be not perfect , but its one of the best gp 's out there . +75 GPS POS 4 I would have give it three star due to its mediocre usabilty , but the concept of this radio alone earn it the 4th star . pro look really cool in dark green , people have ask I if its a satellite phone or military grade etc. . its a really great concept , and be the forerunner of next generation mobile phone location system . its a fun novelty to use , and the gp feature alone can be use in non-extreme adventure setting too - to track a run , bicycle or car trip in detail - time , average speed , top speed route , time stop etc. . . , and also have a feature call area calculater which you can use to measure size of land by walk around the land perimiter . con as you probably know , the coordinate send capability only work in the low power fr channel of the radio -lrb- due to FCC restriction -rrb- . I think maybe I could find some kind of hack to override this restriction on the radio , but no luck , still search . the way to make best use of the rino be to coordinate with other rino both one fr and one gmr frequency , and always scan between the two , just in case . the unit will continue to send old , stale coordinate to the other unit if it have not get a new position fix to replace it . this be annoying because when you think you know where the other one be , so proud of you technology , you can be way way off , much to the humor of the person you show it off to . you can not use this radio as a homing device - it can not be set to automatically send out datum at interval . -lrb- I think it would be against FCC rule for unattended broadcast , but it would be great - to attach to you child , pet , or girlfriend to make sure they stay out of trouble while at the park or beach . -rrb- +25 GPS NEG 1 I normally do not write review , but I have to this time to warn other from make the mistake I do ! when I first receive the 540tm I have a issue with the promotional code for the lifetime map feature . every time I enter it , I receive a error message say the code be already in use . after 6 email back and forth with customer support and send they copy of the promotional code and proof of purchase , they grant I lifetime map access to my account . I be then instruct to update the map on the unit , which cause the unit to reboot randomly while in use . then they have I format the unit and reinstall all the software again . this time the unit would not store the default setting because of a file access error and I have to create a rma with TomTom . I just receive a new 540tm back from they and the touch screen do not respond , which render it useless . I create another ticket with they , but have not hear back in over 24 hour . Hope this help those on the fence decide whether or not to purchase this gp . I will never purchase another TomTom product again ! +192 GPS NEU 3 have to return the first 340 I order . there be no problem get my money back . I really appreciate not have a hassle there . then I order the xxl 540 t 5-inch . the price be right , and I love the large screen . so far so good . +725 GPS POS 5 I be cetainly happy with the c340 . however , I find use the suction cup offer I some difficulty in area of crime -lrb- they want to steal it -rrb- . sooo ! I fork out some dough for the dashboard weighted mount , which be easier to dismount and stuff in you notebook case , case solve ! . seriously , this gp be wonderful , and if you make a wrong turn , it will give a correct head , to get you home or another destination ... +969 GPS POS 5 I be impress with the customer service . I normally purchase extended warranty , but rarely have to use they . this service be for a Garmin GPS Forerunner 305 . I be very impressed with this company associate with Amazon . +293 GPS POS 4 I use the Garmin 305 to go trail run in area where tree branch cover the trail 80 % or so , and the new GPS chip in the 305 do a good job of tracking . the software problem that cause the original delay in the unit shipping apparently be not fully solve ; I have already download one firmware update from Garmin . elevation change be not track as accurately as they could be when use the desktop software that ship with the Garmin , but when upload my result to the free www.motionbased.com site -lrb- recently purchase by Garmin -rrb- , the elevation-related statistics become much more accurate when use the ` auto-correct ' and ` gravity ' feature of motionbased . E.g. , on a recent long run , Garmin 's desktop TrainingCenter say I gain and lose 2,800 foot of elevation but motionbased take the same raw datum and say I only gain and lose 1,800 foot -lrb- much closer to reality -rrb- . the calorie metric produce by the unit be also WAY off , but this appear to be a known issue per various website and I suspect a software\/firmware update will fix it later . otherwise , the desktop software and free motionbased.com site be awesome and I love the unit . highly recommend . +222 GPS POS 5 I first buy the Garmin Nuvi 350 as a Christmas present for my husband after he have do he research . when I see it in action I think it be great . the touch screen make it very easy to use . it usually take I forever to learn how to use a new machine of any kind . the Garmin store you places\/addresses for future use and can list place of interest , area restaurant , etc. . I buy the second one as a graduation gift for my niece . I would definitely recommend this to other people . +407 GPS POS 4 I have have a Magellan before and while I still love that because of the ease of use ; this tom tom be also too good . the only con : 1 . do not warn with sound that we have to take turn at any point 2 . sometimes calculate the route incorrectly overall : I would definitely suggest for the $ 80 I pay for this !! +626 GPS POS 5 I have use other gp system and even those on my laptop and all with some reservation . one day i be in best buy look over what they have for onroad gp 's and come across the Garmin c320 . I be compare several brand there but keep come back to the Garmin . well , I ask the store attendant if I purchase it and later decide it be not what I want could I bring it back . I go out to my car , open the package , mount the unit , pluge it in , turn it on and viola ! , the unit find I . well , I quickly find out that the unit be most intuitive . I have a appointment across town and decide to use it to see if it would take I on the route I always go . nope ! it want I to go another way . in fact , they way it choose I have never even think of . I follow it and get there without a hitch . it voice prompt you so you really never\/rarely need to take you eye off the road . I know right then and they that best buy be not go to get a chance to place they mit on my gp ! Trust I , if you be want a gp unit for you car and you want one that be easy to use , get this one . +484 GPS POS 5 this be my third gp and my first Magellan . it be calculate risk purchase on my part because of the way rating spread from best to worse . and after own if for few month I could see why as I have experience the best and not so best of this gp . the first hurdle be register you gp . how you go about obtain free map update be not clearly explain . there be simplify one page instruction paper include that tell what you must do to get access to you free map update . you be to download and install the free content manager software -lrb- pc only . sorry , no mac -rrb- -lrb- the website be print on the paper -rrb- . Register you product with content manager . note : important to have you pn # ready . on mine , the PN # be locate in a very small font , on the lower right corner of Lifetime Map Updates include paper . you will follow the prompt of Content Manager and register you Magellan . after that you right click the Content Manager icon -lrb- not the shortcut -rrb- and click check for Update now and if go well , the content manager software should show what latest map and firmware update you can download . if any other reviewer see error on my part then do please post correction . I find the GPS easy to use and intuitive . when I first start use it I do notice the position lag that other reviewer have post . however , the latest firmware update eliminate that issue completely . once , the GPS freeze on I . if that happen move the power button from on position to reset position and keep it there until the GPS turn off . I live in San Francisco Bay Area and unlike other reviewer I have be pretty satisfy with how it perform . one feature I be not aware of but it be there be when you hit traffic jam a icon will pop up which if you press it will give alternative direction away from the jam . I be use to GPS announce `` recalculate '' whenever I miss a turn but after a while I get use to Magellan just calculate revise direction without the announcement . I guess buy gp be almost a gamble when you think about it . you rely on other reviewer 's experience to help you make the best possible choice but you may still end up with a dud . I be very happy with this purchase . +521 GPS NEU 3 when gp be first introduce we use to joke about the inaccuracy of they satellite determine elevation . I buy the Vista cx because I think the built-in barometric altimeter would reduce the problem with satellite determine elevation - it do not . the expect error in elevation be 50 to 200 foot , far worse than the positional accuracy of the gp . to reduce error Garmin recommend calibrate the unit every hour to a known elevation - if you know the elevation that well you do not need a gp ! so , while you marvel at the positional accuracy of the unit you can still expect to get a good laugh from the elevation . +686 GPS POS 5 this be a great product and work in 99 % of car . one of my car have a CD slot set into a concave front so it be not as secure as it could be , but it have work great in all other car I have try incudng several Hertz rental . I be buy a second mount to carry on the road because it be a lot lighter than the dashboard `` friction '' mount I currently use . +233 GPS POS 4 this be my fifth gp unit . my first GPS unit be a Lowrance gm100 follow by a Garmin and a Magellan Sportrak and then a Lowrance go2 . all have be good unit . I be very inpress when I first receive the Lowrance h20 unit . I be impress by the screen size first and foremost . second , I be pleasantly suprised to find the car power adapter . shortly after purchase the unit , I buy the software package . it include the map software , a 64mb sd card and the card reader . I be very happy with the set , but I would have prefer a direct cable connection to the unit as oppose to have to use the card reader to transfer datum . the software be also somewhat limit in feature as well . I would like to see more feature involve trail . the map be great and very accurate . transfer datum work great but be somewhat difficult in that you must remove the card which require removal of the battery . I would give the unit five star if it be not for the above limitation . if you just look at the unit itself base on accuracy and useability , it definitely rank five star . +394 GPS POS 5 the TomTom one be one great gp ! we have have Magellans and Garmins , and this be the very best by far . it pick up the satellite very quickly , even while indoors . I especially like the status bar display , give you remain time and distance to destination , current time , arrival time , speed , and direction . I also like the auto turn-off option when you turn off external power . best of all , its 3-d map and direction be phenomenal . and the price be right . no complaint from I ! +638 GPS POS 5 after have problem with my Magellan Road Mate 2200T , I take a chance with the Garmin Nuvi 350 . I see very good review from user about this . and accord to my expectation , this be good to use . the only problem with the Nuvi 350 be , at time it catch the satellite signal slowly . it have a estimate arrival time show at the left bottom corner and I dont have a option to change the setting to see the estimated mile I need to drive . it change the route very fast as I miss the direction Nuvi Suggests . altogether its a good experience with the nuvi350 . I recommend this . +11 GPS NEG 2 I have every problem mention in the other review but I want to add that the Palm V seem too slow to handle this unit . it be particularly slow when zoom in and out of map . I have a dvd base nav system install in my car which I love so I may have too high standard for this handheld unit . I believe the problem be mostly software base however . basically , this product be not ready for prime time . btw today be Oct. 2002 . I try this system out in 2000 so I do not know if there have be any improvement +296 GPS POS 5 absolutely deliver what any direction-challenged person would ever need ! great database of restaurant , bar , hotel , etc. and have save I time on many road trip . +544 GPS POS 5 buy this for ourselves for Christmas . take it on trip from Virginia to unfamiliar part of Florida in late dec\/early Jan. . the 3.5-in screen be plenty large for we . gp be easy to program and mount . only problem come when we mount it on a too cold windshield , and GPS fall off . remount it after windshield have warm up . have to reset gp by turn off , then back on , but it recover like a champ . well please with we nuvi 350 . +249 GPS POS 4 I buy this as my first gp from Staples about 6 month ago and be generally very pleased with it . the pre-loaded Navteq map be circa 2005 as best I could tell . some of these unit have the mp3 player\/fm transmitter and some do not , even though the box indicate they all do . I have use this all over the country from Maine to California , and it have be useful and accurate 95-98 % of the time . in Los Angeles it be a near-godsend . I do have a problem in northern Maine , as another writer indicate , the Navteq map be generally lack in that area . this unit be a 12-satellite -lrb- stage 2 -rrb- reciever . customer service seem to be a problem for many , and Staples tell I they have stop sell these unit because they believe the company may be out of business . I find the interface reasonably easy to deal with , and the 4 '' screen size be a large plus versus most basic unit . unit take longer to lock up than a SIRFIII , but I learn to deal with that without much issue . do not speak street name but do prepare driver for turn well with voice command . do not have any battery for those who want a portable unit at time , the ViaMichelin x-930 or other unit do . multiple route choice be good , pous 's be fair . this unit be considerably heftier than many newer small and light GPS 's , but I do not hesitate to put it into check luggage because of its heft . perhaps the best testimony be that when mine be steal , I buy a refurbish unit -lrb- that I hope in fact have the mp3\/fm function -rrb- from a auction vendor , when I could have buy any number of new unit for $ 30 - $ 70 more . +485 GPS POS 5 this gp be a great deal for the money . would recommend it for anyone . +746 GPS NEG 1 I have use Garmin for year and like it . so when it come time to buy another GPS , I want to go with Garmin . so on Christmas day -lrb- when I get it -rrb- , you could not even use it until you `` register '' it on Garmin.com . yet of course that web site be totally screw up . it be not just mind-bogglingly slow , but then it keep time out when you finally do get through . I like the fact that when I request my username it send it to I at my email address , but when I request my password , it say that it do have my email address . Huh ? you just send a message to it ! totally nut . and then it do not come with a wall charger , but then when you try to download thing , it have to be charge ! so you have to take it out to the car and let the car run for a while as the unit charge , then bring it back in and try again to get software download to it . nice . then I buy the unit that show mileage , etc. , and you plug it into the OBD II port . yet they do not even tell you be the OBD II port be on you car ! Crazy . I think that if you be go to sell product , you should support it . I be disgusted . if I can not get this stupid thing work shortly I be return it . +581 GPS POS 4 I buy mine on Amazon for my birthday last year . I love it . the heart monitor function have help I in my training . I would definitely recommend this for anyone want to take they training to the next level . +823 GPS POS 5 I can not say much more about this little device than it just work . it be so simple . small . look good - I just velcroe it to my windshield . it have one button and three light . at the $ 18 or so buck I pay for it , just awesome . +910 GPS POS 5 if you buy a Garmin 60Cx , you need this to protect a great gp ! +773 GPS POS 5 Great GPS basic for training . the heart band will not work well if you battery be low , but that be understandable ... just be sure you charge you Garmin before you go training . +594 GPS POS 5 the Garmin 110 be a outstanding watch for both training and racing . it show only the important datum : distance , heart rate , lap pace , and time . I configure mine in under 5 minute , and it require only two button press to start a run -lrb- one to start the GPS , the other to start the run -rrb- . this watch be much smaller than any of the other Garmin model , and can be comfortably worn as a day-to-day watch . the strap be wide and comfortable , and the screen be easy to see while run . the SiRFstar iv GPS chip find satellite quickly , usually between 20-60 seconds , and the heart rate monitor connect within a couple of seconds . the include charger allow charge from a wall outlet or a computer , and the cable be use to transfer you run to the -lrb- ... -rrb- website . GarminConnect be easy to use and show you run in great detail . the replay feature be easily the coolest part of the site . run can not be review on the watch , so GarminConnect be a integral part of the way this watch function . I have use my Garmin 110 with Windows Vista and Windows 7 . both work equally well and be easy to set up . I should note that the other extremely negative review be misguided and should be discount . the primary complaint about this watch be the lack of `` current pace '' . the Garmin 110 do not show current pace by design , so anyone who buy this watch expect that feature will be severely disappoint . the product description on Amazon be sorely lack , but a small amount of research would have reveal the feature of this watch . the several 1-star rating be misleading , and do not reflect the quality , size , and functionality of this watch . the Garmin 110 be a outstanding gp watch for anyone who do not need all the bell and whistle of the more advanced model . this be also the first gp watch that be small and light enough to be worn day-to-day and actually look like a watch . +431 GPS POS 5 this model be easy to navigate thru & easy to use . have not have any issue . this be use for we delivery service & do what be need for that . do not have all the bell & whistle but for go from point a to point b it do the job . we do not need all the extra the other model have . it come with life time map update . for the price it serve we well . +108 GPS POS 4 great watch . im use the watch to track pace per mile , current pace , distance and time mostly . i havent use the any of the other feature . i love the fact that you can have three screen display 4 different stats per screen up to 12 total . i do have two bad thing to say about the watch . first , it take too long for the watch to connect to a satelite -lrb- usually 3-5 min -rrb- and when i wear multiple layer the watch 's band then to come loose and hang . this problem doesnt occur when i have a single layer of clothes or a shot sleeve on . the watch be definitely not heavy , but a little bulky . not a big deal and something you get use to . all in all , a great watch for the price i pay -lrb- 130 -rrb- . +239 GPS NEU 3 I buy this product because my old gp be not updateable . it be a Navigon gp , this one be updateable so so far so good . would reccomend it to anyone . +120 GPS POS 5 this be a excellent gp for bike . Miguel Dau Rio de Janeiro - rj Brazil +628 GPS NEU 3 the Garmin 2350LMT that I have use on one 5 day business trip work ok ... and I be still learn how to best use it . it be easy to mount and to read but there be one glitch I have discover that have to do with the listing of area offering . for example , I be stay in read pa at a hotel and ask for the name of italian restaurant because I be meet a client at one of they and be not sure of the spelling . the Garmin 2350LMT give I the name of the italian restaurant in the area and I click on the one with the name I want . the GPS tell I where this restaurant be and I drive @ 20 mile to that place . upon arrival I discoverd that there be four -lrb- 4 -rrb- area restaurant with that same name -lrb- family own -rrb- and my Garmin GPS Unit have only list the one furthest away from the hotel . it should have note there be four of they and they mileage from my location . that simple action would have save I the embarassment of be 45 minute late for a meeting . I read another review of the unit in a magazine and apparently that reviewer note a similar failure with the unit . this would be fixable with a download of a Garmin nuvi 2350LMT 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator with Lifetime Traffic & Map Updates +95 GPS POS 5 this be one fun gp . this be my 3rd Garmin GPS , and I have use many other . except for the slightly larger size , it be significantly better in every way to the etrex series , which be still fine gp unit . the boot time be fast , and the aquisition time be fast . you can program just about every thing you could imagine on the GPSMAP 60c , yet in spite of the functionality , this be the easiest to use GPS Garmin have ever make . several thing that really make it easy to use be -lrb- a -rrb- simple , clear menu , -lrb- b -rrb- all button -lrb- except power -rrb- be on the front , and have large , clear , high-contrast text label -lrb- no tiny molded icon to squint at -rrb- . in map mode , the pan and zoom button be always available - you do not have to go into a pan mode , and map redraw be much faster than on the etrex series , which be nice . -lrb- c -rrb- display be big and clear - in the dark or in the sun , -lrb- d -rrb- very effective use of color in menu , map , and status screen . you can even select among different color screen . the quad helix antenna seem to work very well - at least as well as my old gps12 , and noticably better than my eTrex Vista , which have trouble in the tree . the usb interface make download map very fast , and 56mb hold more map than you 'll hike in a summer . if Garmin ever come out with higher-resolution map , the 56mb will be really nice . I be able to figure everything out without the manual , but then read the manual cover-to-cover last night . it be well write , well organize , and have good illustration . the manual be just the right size - small enough to be friendly , but have all the detail you need to get the most out of the unit in easy-to-read font . on the downside , I find the button always get accidently press when I have the unit in my daypack - I have not find a keyboard lock-out mode for when I be hike and want the unit on for tracking -lrb- cell phone and ham radio often have this lockout feature -rrb- . I do not use the belt clip , but the unit do not come with the little plug that go over the belt clip hole , yet the picture in the manual show one . I notice the demo unit at the local store also do not have this button . the two biggest enhancement Garmin could make at this point be -lrb- a -rrb- higher resolution topo map for Mapsource , and -lrb- b -rrb- a way to have the Mapsource topo and road database in the unit at the same time . +656 GPS POS 4 this a great hand hold . very durable and seem to be very accurate , and reliable . Easy to read very portable . however it do not do paperless caching so I would not purchase again . +612 GPS NEG 2 I be envious of all the positive review and wish that I could be write one myself , but there be some serious issue that I have not yet be able to resolve , despite extensive online research . 1 . mountain goat mode - be my own term for the 1350t 's navigational preference . for some unknown reason , it direct I away from main road and highway and towards back road , alley , and most recently , hillside trail that I would consider neither safe nor navigable . I have find many forum post on this issue and have try experiment with both the Avoidance and Shortest\/Fastest setting , but have yet to solve this problem . 2 . City navigation make I feel like I be the object of a Punk would style prank . the slow response time , tendency of the screen to freeze and poor accuracy make it easy to drive right past you turn and trigger the all too familiar `` recalculate '' . I can not tell you how frustrating this can be . even when you do make the recommend turn , you often trigger the `` recalculate '' response . 3 . battery life be average 10-15min on a full charge , which I feel be inadequate . if anyone have any suggestion , please post they in a response . in the meantime , I be go to try a Tom-Tom . +658 GPS NEG 1 receive the unit in normal time from Amazon . fail , fail , fail from then on . down load the pc communicator -- fail . download the 510 program -- fail . the free trial to Geocashing.com premium -- fail . quote from geocashing.com `` please send a photo of the free trial card you receive with a clear image of the trial code - from there I will be able to better assist you . '' the touch screen be cranky and seem to work less well when in sunlight . the demo tape keep reappear . the menu be not intuitive . instruction manual hardcopy can be buy ???? down load a copy of the manual be the ONLY download that work . spend the morning in the field set some waypoint . spend the whole afternoon at home in frustration . do not bother contact Magellan 's customer service . do not need extra frustration . see other review for that . it go back to AMazon . the one good feature be the ability to get a signal in deep cover . at least better signal than my 10 year old explorist . +834 GPS POS 5 Works great , pleased that it work well in car and no problem install it . it be nice that you can remove it easy +647 GPS NEG 1 no wonder this be on sale for $ 70 at best buy . the Tom Tom be unable to find any of the last three destination I enter , one of which be the town police headquarters . frequently it wont even acknowledge that the street you be seek even exist . Tom Tom seem particularly confuse where there be directional name like South East 24th Avenue - didnt exist accord to Tom Tom , how about go to Northwest 24th Avenue ? some say life be about the journey , but when you be try to get to the police station , its about the destination . Tom Tom cant get you there . +176 GPS POS 5 this product be absolutely amazing . Ive use it for a year now and have use it for travel over 5,000 mile . most of the time I use it in the car along with the beanbag mount . the beanbag mount be one of those item that you just need if you plan on use it in more than one vehicle . this unit allow you to download a portion of you state into the GPS unit from the computer . it use the communication port so it take a while , but Ive only do this once the entire time ive own it . my family and I use it mostly by typing address into the unit , then allow it to find the fastest or shortest route . its amazing what this little machine can do , and Ive have older model that can do nothing near what this unit can . you can also do a search for point of interest in the area you have download into the unit . this be neat if you be look for a gas station , school , concert location , or something similar where you just have the name of the place . if you get lose it automatically re-calculate the new route , and beep and show detail as you go . as you near a turn , the screen show the turn and also how many mile \/ foot until you reach the corner . its very helpful . the backlight be also a great feature , and it look really good at night . the only problem Ive have be the lack of storage space , I can store about 1\/4 of the state of Michigan in the detroit metro area . also , if you miss a turn , it can take a minute or two to re-calculate the route , so you often mix the next turn or two while it recalculate . lastly , ive have it place I on the highway when I be actually on the service street . this have only happen a few time and really wasnt a huge deal . its definitely worth the price , and since ive have mine ive lend it out many time . its just one of those thing that once you have you cant live without . +37 GPS POS 5 I buy this unit to use on we property and have be very pleased with its accuracy . I be able to get the Garmin Topo software and print out we trail and road for future use . great ease of use !! +796 GPS POS 5 this machine work well . the important thing be that you can at least update the software for free . because the map it contain be the latest now . it also contain a sd card extension slot so in the future you can store more thing on it . I like it . +478 GPS NEG 2 this be my second attempt at a `` gp design specifically for Truck Drivers . '' the first be a teletype worldnav 720060 which also fail miserably for the price you pay . I digress , the device and accessory require for operation seem to be make with decent quality . consider it be make by pc miler I would expect this to be A.J. square away . this be a poor asumption on my part . as far as route be concern it be a disaster . I previously use co-pilot Truck on my laptop and it route pretty descent . I figure this unit would be the same but that also turn out to be another poor assumption . the device much like the teletype warn you be on restricted route when you be not and every exit ramp you pass it display a pous icon indicate that Truck service be near when they be not . a lot of the pous 's display on the map cease to exist at all . any truck gp that instruct you to make a u-turn when there be clearly alternate truck friendly route available should be consider to be very unreliable in my personal opinion . I pay $ 255 for a refurbish unit and I must say , I be terribly dissapointed with this unit . the map be very slow to navigate . if you need to move it around to see you destination or verify the itinerary you will find it somewhat troublesome that in the year 2010 that a company would even put something like this out for sale . it be very sluggish . the same also apply to when you be enter a destination address , it lag almost 2 full seconds behind what you be do . there be several area that it completely give false information such as street name in relation to what town they be actually located in . very frustrating when try to plan a trip . I guess in closing , I would be happy if I could get my Omnitech GPS software to run in this ; otherwise , it will be put up for auction like the rest of the failure . the next try will be a Rand McNally Truck GPS which I have read very good thing about . but then again I do for this as well . +414 GPS POS 4 I have be use this gp around the Boston area for about a month , and I think it deserve a solid 4 star , but some quirk keep it from earn 5 star . I be debate between this and the 3790 -lrb- which ultimately prove prohibitively expensive -rrb- . I be very happy with the large size of the 2460 - the 3790 be nice and slim and pedestrian-style portable but I have only use my gp in pedestrian mode once . have a bigger device in my hand do not cause a problem for the short amount of time I be use it . the eco-score feature have actually get I to drive more efficiently -lrb- i.e. more slowly -rrb- on the highway and I have experience a real increase in my mpg rating -lrb- I use to score about 26mpg , now I be up around 30 -rrb- . I love the `` at the pump '' feature , which track you mpg rating when you put in mileage and fuel stats . the ability to customize the home screen be great , too . I have add link button for `` where be I '' and `` at the pump . '' Bluetooth work great and I be thrill to be able to use the voice command to access my address book . speak of voice command , it be a great feature that I be happy to have . I would say it be about 85 % accurate . it can not hear you if you have get the radio on -lrb- big deal , just turn it down for 5 seconds -rrb- and I feel much safer use vocal command to find my destination than lean over the dash to type they in while drive . unfortunately , the Garmin keep disappointing I with the way it route I around heavy traffic . most of my driving be on the highway in suburbia and the traffic datum be supposedly pull in over a FM link and in my case be only accurate\/updated if you be within a certain -lrb- close -rrb- distance of the city of Boston , so usually I find out too late that heavy traffic be ahead . it also often suggest I get off the highway and back on a mile down the road , which never work out in my favor . I be think I will shut off the traffic avoidance feature altogether . in the Garmin 's defense , when you be in traffic in the Boston area , there be no way to avoid it in any meaningful way regardless of what gp you have . a few time I have tell it to take I home through local road , and I have enjoy the slow and easy scenic drive and have not worry about get lose , but they have not really save I any time during my commute . all in all , I be very happy to have get this device , especially since I get it on sale for $ 200 . I feel good know I have lifetime map and love the voice command feature and the large size . traffic datum have be a letdown but that be my only major complaint . +671 GPS POS 5 Lo use en ee . uu y en argentina , en el primero pude usar todas las funciones y anduvo perfecto a veces es medio lento en mostrar los mapas o recalcular pero e bastante preciso . si lo van a usar en otro paise como en arg , que no hay inf de trafico es gastar plata de mas por ahi recomentaria algo mas barato pero es muy practico sin duda lo recomendaria no tiene problemas en bajar los mapas de internet y cargarlo . muy bueno +766 GPS NEG 1 do not waste you time and money . my unit will not even turn on . it be 14 month old and have be nothing but trouble , +990 GPS POS 5 I buy this for my husband -lrb- with he input -rrb- as a Christmas gift . he be still thrill with it and he friend be envious -lrb- even better -rrb- . it have become `` the toy '' to have among he buddy . on the practical side , it be extremely useful in he work as he often make delivery or `` pick up '' in remote or unfamiliar location . the unit will `` recalculate '' easily when make different turn decision than the one give . +609 GPS POS 4 wow ! it work anywhere I go . it be fantastic . it even work in the city . I take it everywhere - trip , hike , walk , drive , and to work . next be Geo-Caching . +635 GPS POS 4 just get this unit yesterday with the expectation that the bluetooth `` broadcast navigation and phone call through you car stereo '' like the description say on the amazon page ... come to find out this be not true . Amazon should edit that description so nobody else will be mislead . it come out of a weak speaker build into the GPS itself and the microphone sound muffle to those on the other end of the call . . other than that , so far so good . +78 GPS NEU 3 Amazon 's listing for the c330 say that `` every unit sell will come with the most recent map version '' . this statement be not true . I just get a brand new c330 , which be load with City Navigator North America `` v8 '' map -lrb- find by touch map , then Map Info -rrb- . today i visit the Garmin web site , go to the map update page , and enter my device 's serial number . the web site tell I that a update be available for my unit : `` Map Update 2008 City Navigator '' . somewhat perplexed , I call Garmin 's customer support line and receive the follow explanation from Peggy . the v8 map package be issue in June 2006 . a newer mapset , version 2008 , be issue in June 2007 . however , the size of the improve and more detailed database in version 2008 be larger than will fit in the memory of the c330 . therefore , when you install the update , you have to choose whether you want to load the database for United States , or the one for Canada . the canadian subset include all of Canada plus the border state -lrb- include Massachusetts , not strictly a border state , but useful for Canadians who visit New England -rrb- . if you purchase the 2008 Update , you can make the decision about which subset to load into the c330 repeatedly . so it can be update first with the v2008 map for the US , and then subsequently load with the v2008 map for a vacation trip to Canada . of course , if you be not live in a border state , you will not be able to use the canadianized c330 to navigate to Canada , but once you be there , you be all set . should you choose to install the US portion of the database , all of the old -lrb- v8 -rrb- canadian datum be delete . similarly , should you install the update canadian 2008 map , the v8 US information be wipe . in my view , this be a poor design decision . even though the c330 have a sd slot for expansion , it be not possible to load the US database from the 2008 update into the unit and put the canadian database into a sd chip -lrb- or vice versa -rrb- . the Map Update 2008 be $ 70us and be ship on a dvd . Whichever subset of the datum you choose , a pc or a Mac be require to load the 2008 update into a c330 . if you want you cake and eat it too , you have to buy the complete v2008 Mapsource City Navigator North America NT map product from Garmin -lrb- $ 140us list -rrb- . the entire north american database will fit on a sd card . Peggy be unwilling to provide I with a free update to the 2008 map , even though I just purchase a brand-new unit that be advertise as have `` the most recent map version '' . I have read elsewhere that some purchaser be able to obtain a update to 2008 map at no charge , but Peggy would not be sway . she explanation , which be carefully wordsmithe by Garmin 's marketing department , be that the v8 map be the ` latest that be ship from the factory ' with the c330 . thus , the unit that I purchase , in Garmin 's opinion , be the most recent version that be offer for sale . accord to Peggy , the same limitation in map storage and upgrade apply to the StreetPilot c530 version , a more modern unit that be recently discontinue by Garmin . I be now debate whether to keep the c330 or not . it be a nice product , and seem very easy to use . but I resent be sell a mapping device with map datum from 2006 , especially when it be explicitly advertise as have the most recent map datum `` through April 2007 '' . Garmin 's policy to then demand a additional $ 70 to upgrade strike I as design more to satisfy shareholder than customer . +783 GPS NEU 3 this should be my 3rd waterproof camera , so why should ? because I be return it due a lot of minor issue and bad material quality . I have a Lumix ts-2 and another Lumix ts-3 , now I try this Nikon aw-100 think about have a CMOS camera instead a CCD camera but I could not believe that this camera be so sensitive . in just one week in my pocket chare with my hotel card the lcd cover be totally damage by the plastic card . also the camera be not more sensitive than the CCD as they promise here be a difference but you can not feel it . the image quality be good , but the configuration menu be quite hard to understand . I be go to buy another Lumix . +404 GPS POS 5 wow ! very good satelite reception close to the window . Grear German product i be use for aviation too . +42 GPS NEG 1 I receive this device and update it be map and software right away . I have use my cell phone and a old Garmin GPS from work to home , both of they give I the shorstest and quickest route . I want to give Magellan a try . Magellan add a extra 6 mile -lrb- my regular trip be 31 mile -rrb- and a extra 15 minute of travel time . there be no traffic problem and the route be clear with no road construction . the route be a famous Chicago area highway and well established major road . at one point there be only one road that lead I to my destination and the device keep ask I to make a U turn !!!! this be a bad device with bad route . I wish I could return it for a refund . I be very disappointed . +953 GPS POS 5 my husband buy this for I for training . it be great . it track my mile and then I can plot it compare my progress . the heartrate monitor be also a great feature . it be easy to use . +673 GPS NEG 1 I purchase the Garman nuvus 1300 and plan to return it after a few day of use : issue be 1 . touch screen be not very sensitive - require a hard push along with extact placement or do not register the touch . 2 . pop-up - unbelievable - ad pop-up for hotel , commercial business etc. . block about 10 % of the screen - no instruction in manual , or set-up munu to toggle off the annoying ad - ad stay on screen until you leave the vicinity of the business - very distracting . I be go to a different brand . +976 GPS NEG 1 I do not know if it be only mine , but in about 10 % trip it lose the way , one of the obvious mistake happen near my house . the real distance be less than a mile straigh but GPS make I turn and it take I around by small one-way street for 30 min till I give up . and what be worse my husband trust it to take he to Newark airport and it take more than 2 hour -lrb- instead of 1 hour -rrb- and he almost miss he plane . I do not know if I can return it and try maybe TomTom GPS . I have 2 friend with Garmin that also lose they way from time to time . I do not find any other problem with the device , I think interface be easy and unless it lose way totally - it be perfect in make d-tours and finding place . though it be own database be very poor , for example it can not find TARGET store in White Plains , NY that be open 5 year ago , therefore one have to find the exact address and go by it . in my experience it also could not find Staples , Bestbuy in Scarsdale and Wal-Mart . I do not even try to locate small store . well ... anyway it be better than nothing and in case of emergency maybe a lifesaver . +644 GPS NEU 3 I have a mixed review about this unit . I be a owner of several Garmin product , include a previous Nuvi -lrb- 765t -rrb- and multiple handheld gpsr -lrb- 60c , 60csx , Oregon 400t -rrb- and have be happy with all of they . I have also be very happy with Garmin 's technical support and customer service . when the time come that we decide we need multiple Nuvis in we family , I like this unit 's bigger screen , lifetime map update and traffic , and voice activation , so I decide to go for this one for we new Nuvi . the good : the touchscreen seem more responsive than my 765t and while the interface be a little bit different from the 765t , it do not take too long to get use to it . the voice activation work very well , and make this unit the perfect partner for my iPhone as it give I the voice-activated dialing that I would have to pay for otherwise . the bad : the newer software have a important flaw that will affect anyone who download or add favorite or point of interest . first , all of those icon have be replace on the map by tiny little black dot that do not allow you to pick out what they represent . worse , if you be zoom out to a scale more than 1.2 mile , they disappear completely . as a avid geocacher who use a Nuvi to identify where geocach be as I travel , this flaw be a backbreaker . it will also be a problem if you download or enter set of waypoint for favorite restaurant or other location you would want to find while travel . previous unit allow you to see these favorite at any level of zoom . -lrb- most restaurant be not in Garmin 's database in the Nuvi . -rrb- Garmin be aware of the problem but do not know when a fix\/update will be available . I send the unit back , but if the problem ever get fix I 'll probably run to get this unit again . +101 GPS POS 4 the gp work well , except that there be no instruction give on how to mount the gp on the dashboard , as California law disallow gp on windscreen . we have to figure it out ourselves , after a long time , and also end up break part of the bracket . +872 GPS POS 4 it work . it get I where I set it . it update easily connect to my pc . it have a current map all the time . and , it help I avoid a mess of traffic . +49 GPS POS 5 as a native New Yorker , I have become a direction snob . I know my way around the subway system , as well as the highway and bi-way of the City . but then , I move to Atlanta , where there be over 100 street name peachtree-something . I carry road map in various place in my car . I purchase the Garmin nuvus 3790LMT GPS Navigator for its ability to navigate road and re-configure route on the fly . and while it be true that several top-of-the-line gp unit can do this , no other unit do the task as well , with as little heft , as do the 3790LMT . this unit be thin and lightweight - two stats that matter when the pull of gravity to a await floor can destroy heftier GPS unit . the feature-packed 3790lmt afford I a lifetime of traffic and map update , as well as Bluetooth connectivity . the unit pair flawlessly with my iPhone , and its voice command `` understand '' I better than my first wife . the setup be easy and intuitive . within minute I be ready to connect the 3790lmt to my MacBook pro and download the most up-to-date map of North America available . the 3790lmt work whatever mode of land transportation you prefer - automobile , bicycle or pedestrian . and it allow you to maximize fuel economy , and save you precious time as well . there be super expensive gp unit for the nerd-acious and for the gadget friendly who love the challenge of difficult programming . the Garmin nuvus 3790lmt be the GPS unit for the rest of we . +227 GPS POS 5 product be receive in atimely fashion and be work well in keep multiple usb charge simultaneously while in a vehicle . good product . +317 GPS POS 5 first time I use my forerunner 305 -lrb- hour outta the box -rrb- , I achieve a pr run a 4 miler by 3:30 !!! great training partner . ca not wait til the Philadelphia Marathon !!! +826 GPS POS 5 simple , inexpensive but well make thin case . will perfectly fit , protect and help you carry around you 5 inch Garmin Nuvi . deliver quickly . highly recommend . +52 GPS POS 4 I buy the watch primarily to help I maintain a pace while I train for a half marathon . the only function I really use on it be the time , distance and speed . I do wear the heart rate monitor but do not concern myself with it too much . anyway , I have validate the distance and believe it to be accurate . I trust that the time be accurate as well so it would stand to reason that the speed be , also . I download my datum to the pc and it be neat to look at , pretty cool to view it in google earth , especially my hike . I know there be a lot more functionality to the watch that I be not exploit but it be serve the purpose I buy it for . I 'll say the watch be a bit bulky but I do not notice it be heavy at all . I would recommend this watch . +646 GPS NEU 3 I receive this in great time . I decide to use it around my city before go on a trip to get use to it . I set a work route and it route I the long way to my job , even though I select `` the fastest '' set . then I have to tailor the address of my job , fudging the number some so that it would take I the same way that I go everyday -lrb- which really be the fastest -rrb- . I think this may be a problem in area that I do not know well . I think even with the GPS , a good old map be still need . I like that when approach street the name pop up . this be useful in find a street at night -lrb- say when you be go to unfamiliar territory in you own town -rrb- the unit be pretty big , easy to see and the touch screen be great . the icon be as easy to access . the voice be customizable and the volume can be control very well . I like the Ecochallenge that tell you how much money you spend when drive -lrb- I find out that I spend $ 2 a day drive to work -rrb- I like the fact that it come with a very nice mount . with the option to place on the dash or the window . some have complain about ad , but I be ride near a best western and a coupon -lrb- ad -rrb- pop up . I think this may be useful when travel . they do not pop up a lot so it be tolerable . the only thing that I have only see once be the `` junction view '' . it look very nice and look just like the picture in the Garmin nuvus ad . but that be one time only . and I think that be because I have the GPS in the seat and not on the dash . I look down and there it be . I almost miss it . I do not know if it be a glitch in the system . I have drive on highway that have the junction and it never come up . it wont even come up in the same spot that I see it the one time when the unit be lay in the seat . how weird ! the Traffic feature be ok at best . it may tell you there be traffic and it may not . it be a hit or miss . I find that it do not always recognize traffic and I be in the middle of it ! other time it would say there be a lot of traffic ahead and there be nothing at all . I will keep this because it be useful and better than have nothing , but it do not deliver on all the promise in the advertisement . +384 GPS POS 4 I have not buy any download for it , yet . -lrb- they be a little pricey -rrb- we use it as-is for a trip last month and it really come in handy . with the database that be already in it , we be able to find rest stop and resturant , etc. . the only drawback be I have to hold it directly by a window for it to pick up satellite position so when I be not use it , but still have it on , I have to place it on the dashboard for it to keep up with where we be go . we really like it , though . +613 GPS POS 5 this unit be excellent , w \/ the all-new version 8 software built-in . I have read over 200 previous review before I make this purchase , and I have to concur that for the price , it might be the best one out there . as state everywhere , it be a `` right-out-of-the-box '' unit , and be simple and easy to use . I be personally thrill with the Garmin c330 , and will probably transfer it to my next vehicle , instead of deliberately choose a vehicle with a built-in system . great product and great pricing ; with all-new preloaded software . +719 GPS NEG 2 I have a Garmin nuvi 255w , work fantastic , but it have a 4.3 '' screen and I have end up in the wrong lane several time on big interchange so the TOMTOM with the 5.0 '' screen and advance lane guidance sound really good and as the deal of the day for $ 89 how could you go wrong . unfortunately TOMTOM show I no love . I 'll just bullet point the issue here , there be no positive for I as after over 4 hour of tech support and try I still have not get no further then plug it into my computer . note : before I even start the menu on this thing be about as unintuitive as it get , it be like try to program 80 `` s VCR . on the Garmin I be never confuse even once . - my nearly 5 year old street with a dozen house on it show up as a field . what good be a gp that do not know where you be at ? do not think that because you address be on the map that you be cover because if where you be go be not on the map you can not use the gp to tell you how to get there . - ok so I go get my free latest map update . 2 hour later I have finally load all the SW need to get the map , register with TOMTOM get TOMTOM Home and have download my free map . no luck I still live in a field . - send TOMTOM tech support mail . 3 day later I get a long mail on resit my device -lrb- wipe all you add datum -rrb- delete a bunch of sw from it change file name on my computer etc etc. and the reload everything from the web . 1 hour later , nope still live in a field . but my TOMTOM now have all kind of update sw that it never say be down rev before , hum ? - ok call support . sorry we use a different map service then Garmin and you be not on we map . what you can do be use we really cool map share service and send in a map correction that once we verify will be give to all map share user . Hum , do they use cheaper older map and then hope that they user fill in the gap ? hum ... . . - ok it be 5.0 '' screen and advance lane guidance for $ 89 so I 'll give this map share correction thing a try . wait , how the hell do the menu on this thing work . 30min later I have finally get the correction add to the device , now I have to plug it into my computer and upload it to TOMTOM . - the final straw ; try to upload my street correction to TOMTOM and TOMTOM Home no longer work ! check the website and what do they recommend , reset you device , wipe out you file , and remove TOMTOM home from you computer and start over from square one ! that be it , the honeymoon be over I file for divorce and be return it to Amazon . that be my TOMTOM story hope it help you when decide . PS when return stuff to Amazon they now have UPS pick it up at you door and they bring the shipping label too ! Amazon just get better and better ! +997 GPS NEU 3 this be a good gp so far as the basic functionality go but it take a hit when it come to Satellite fix , speed of calculation etc. . pro - \* large screen , easy to read even on a sunny day . \* loud voice prompt . con - \* Slow calculation \* take long tim to get a Satellite fix if it be last use a couple of mile away from you current position . \* map datum be a little out date and free update be not available . \* no battery . Garmin c330 be a similar product in the same price range . I think that be a lot better in almost every area . +661 GPS POS 5 the seler be fast and the product a beanbag dash mount be great ! it be very heary and do not move on the dash board . no more gp fall off , no more sticky film on dash or window . stick itto the base in the middle of the bean bag and you never have to move it again . you just move the gp . +193 GPS POS 5 5 star , no question ! very user-friendly , extremely functional and now quite affordable . get one and you 'll never be lose . I research other brand too but decide to go for Garmin . I choose the c320 over the c340 because it get the job do for a much lower price . unlike the c340 which have all the map load , the 128mb drive sufficient only for a small area -lrb- sometimes only 1-2 large state such as CA -rrb- but I get a 1gb drive which be really inexpensive these day and have alomst the whole US map on it . and because it have to search thru that much less info , it be also faster . my only gripe be -lrb- and it be still not a big deal -rrb- that the built-in pous -lrb- point of interest -rrb- database be a bit dated -lrb- I purchase mine in Dec 2005 -rrb- . there have occasion when my gp take I to a store or a restaurant that be no longer present . but when it come to get from place a to b , I can move around with confidence !! +190 GPS POS 5 nicely fit the 4.3 '' Garmin GPS . it run around $ 18 on the Garmin web site . this be a excellent value . not real leather , but fairly sturdy and well-fitting . purchase with the gp and it only cost $ 1.78 . +41 GPS POS 4 it take a long time to plan a geocach trip and look up possible cache . it be a great hobby and I often do that before I travel to a new place . but sometimes I be on the road without a plan and this unit be just the thing . I find it work best for cache along highway or road . there be lot of grab and go cache that be fun . one reviewer say he do not like the small cache . I feel the same , but I have come to appreciate they . sometimes they be very easy and then there be other that I have not find after several trip back to the area . yes , it do have limitation . and it be a little pricey consider the lack of map . once I be within a few foot it seem ; I be stop by a steep bank and the Interstate beyond . but when I turn it on and can locate treasure that be on my way , I be happy . and I bet it do not cost as much as that coat , or kitchen gadget , or knick knack you do not use any more . I have not use it with kid much , but it be a great introduction to geocach for my friend . usually I give they my `` real '' gpsr and use this to confirm we direction . lot of they now geocache with I . a little study will help you enjoy this great hobby . go to -lrb- ... -rrb- -lrb- the official site for hide and seek -rrb- , create a free account and browse around . learn the lingo , check out the map around you house . bet there be several cache to find . Geomate Jr will help . +155 GPS NEG 2 when my old forerunner 301 stop sense heartbeat and I check to make sure it be not the chest strap , I purchase a new one . love the unit . on my first ride it fall off the handlebar mount -lrb- after I check it twice -rrb- and be run over . no problem , just go to Garmin customer support , explain in a email what have happen and ask what they policy be . HA ! fill in all the REQUIRED information , press send and -- form go blank in both Safari and Firefox . I 'll call tomorrow but if they website , and other review be any indication , I be in for a rocky time . wonder if any Garmin folk actually check to see if they website work . Ok , about two week have pass . Got on the phone with Garmin customer support . very pleasant young man take my information and credit card datum and give I direction on how to return my unit . Cut I a deal for a replacement . get the replacement yesterday and charge it up . must be refurbish because it will not acquire a gp signal to save itself . back on to customer service tomorrow . like I say , great unit , if it work ... +892 GPS POS 4 first , as everybody have comment . . the display on this 3790t look AMAZING ! compare it to ANY other gp and the difference be almost like black and white tv in 1956 to today 's hdtv ! the Display not only look good it be very use-able in any light . . even direct sunshine hit it be screen . I have a top of the line Magellan ... you can barely see the screen when it get very bright out . anyway , I would rather talk about a few quirk or negative as I feel a review should help one decide if the pro of a device out weigh any negative . my first major con be that I have only see the Juntion View screen pop up maybe 3 time in over almost 2 week of drive . I live in NY and there be a ton of Juntions I have pass thru . the 3790t doe show lane assist -lrb- the arrow which lane to be in for upcome turn -rrb- BUT it simply almost never show a juntion view . I actually return my first unit think it be simply defective . . it be NOT . so from my experience you be barely go to see juntion view on this unit at least in NY . I have read other review that state they see a lot of juntion view . . but in NY unless I have a second defective unit ? ... you can almost forget the fact the 3790t have juntion View . as a side note my Magellan show a juntion type view at 1,000 time to one vs this unit . my second con . . be more about refinement . this darn gp be roughly $ 400 depend on the deal you get . the voice inside my unit sometimes though rarely , will crack . meaning . . if a map be zoom in or or out I have notice the voice break up . this have only happen 2 time in 2 week . . but in a $ 400 unit this be unacceptable . another con for I be my first unit freeze up the minute I decide to NOT follow the gp 's route as I know a shorter way to go . I have to re boot it . . all be well but again ... refine ? $ 400 no ! my last and maybe biggest con be traffic ??? what ?? this Garmin be tell I there be a ton of traffic on my route YET my radio 's traffic report be not mention any traffic where the Garmin be tell I it be . also the Garmin be auto re route I off my route because it think there be a ton of traffic come up . well . . I do not listen to the Garmin , and there be no traffic where it say it be . on the other hand . . one time the 3790t tell I all road be clear . . while I be sit in traffic , barely move 10mph on 55 mph road . so it have be my experience that the traffic feature be near useless . or at least maybe it be a hour or 2 behind reality . that be say my Magellan 's traffic feature be just as useless . so after all this complain why do I still give it 4 star ? well . . overall I actually love this unit . overall it pick excellent route , I like the timing of the voice tell I where next to turn . . it be very difficult to miss a turn with the 3790t . . it be excellent at guidance . I choose a female New Zealand voice -lrb- build in -rrb- and it be very refreshing to be able to change voice ... as one voice can get monotonous after you own a gp for a long while . I love the size of the unit . . more than as a toy . . it be so pocket able a huge plus over the other dinosaur gp unit out there now . battery life seem good and overall construction seem high end . . except I get a little creeky sound on the small plastic part on the back if I press on it , that also house the speaker . the voice quality be awesome blow away the Magellans . . -lrb- I do not know TomTom -rrb- . . and it be loud as you can stand . Voice command -lrb- you speak to the unit -rrb- be near excellent though you may need speak rather loudly or it may just stare at you . : -rrb- I do love you can even use you voice to choose you custom favorite . however you only get 5 favorite at a time to choose from . if you do not see the one you want . . you have to say DOWN . . it will scroll down another 5 and another 5 -lrb- or it be 4 at a time -rrb- do not recall . eventually you see you favorite . . choose the NUMBER next to it . . and bam , all by voice you can start navigate . I wish you could say the name of you favorite -lrb- as in speech to text -rrb- ... say you name you favorite Mike 's place or whatever you have it name . instead you need scroll possibly thru 100 's of favorite till yours be find via voice . of course you can simply use the screen and type it take a second actually BUT so much for voice command then . lastly one feature common to I think all garmin which I love be within favorite you can see all the favorite near the one you just go to . my Magellan can not do that . . and be I be in sale . . this be a wonderful useful feature cause i may have a customer 2 block away from where I be and the 3790t will tell I so ... which may have skip my mind otherwise . to sum up my book -lrb- sorry -rrb- this be truly a wonderful unique great gp . . with excellent route . . which be why we buy a gp . I just initially want to point out some negative as too often review become almost like a team event . . mean I love Garmin . . or Panasonic or WHATEVER , often that cloud be objective . . I want to be objective here ... all in all quirk and all , I think this may be you favorite gp of you lifetime . . till the next model improve on he one `` somehow '' highly recommend !! +98 GPS POS 5 my Garmin Nuvi ... be so groovy , my system be 99.8 % accurate all the time . I like its setup on the menu , and all the function it have to offer . definately a great buy ! +754 GPS POS 5 I be surprise at how easy it be to order this item . the Garmin Nuvi windshield mount be very inexpensive and arrive at my home very quickly . I have attach my Garmin to the windshield with no problem . I be quite pleased . +986 GPS POS 5 this be the best , I so love it . I would recommend it for everyone . the screen be very easy to see , both in sunlight and darkness . it seem very accurate and have yet to get I lose . +798 GPS POS 4 so far we have be very pleased with the Magellan RoadMate 760 . we have try it out on a roadtrip and locally and seem to be right on the money . like the feature that tell you the length of time to complete the trip at the speed you be go . +524 GPS NEG 1 I bough this watch with American Express point and think i get a real bargain . wrong . I have the Garmin 210 gp watch which be simple and intuitive but really just for run . that watch break when i wear it in the shower once for 30 seconds . come ON , GARMIN ! a sport watch that isnt waterproof ? shame on you . this watch have more feature and cycling function , etc but its so damn confuse that i have literally stand in front of my house for 10 minute -lrb- not exaggerate -rrb- try to get a sit signal and then start the stopwatch . I be good at confuse interface but this one take the cake . the other drawback be that the battery be basically always dead . if you havent use it in a few day and you take it out of you bag , it will be dead . you need to basically keep it plug in whenever you arent use it . seem pointless . as a result , this watch now sit lifeless in a drawer , and yours will too . +895 GPS NEU 3 well , I be not go to write volume since other people have pretty much express a lot about it . I will say this be my first gp and I love have one . I go on numerous trip and often arrive late at night in big city I be unfamiliar with . it have save I on numerous occasion . if you ever even wonder if a gp could help , trust I , it will . however , my biggest gripe be the voice recognition . I feel I enunciate well and that my grammar be good . this little contraption be terrible when it come to recognize voice command . I have friend and family try to talk to it and it do not understand any better . I think this feature would be nice since I be a stickler for no texting and that include punching in road command . as for find road , it be about 98 % accurate with obscure side road be a problem except one major road in Chattanooga that it could not find because it know it as a different name . I also do not care for traffic too much . I go through all kind where I live and nothing be on the device to indicate it . other than that , a gp be worth its weight in gold ! I agree with other people on here that this particular unit be not worth the extra money . find another that speak to you -lrb- very nice -rrb- but wait for extra bell and whistle till Garmon get the quirk iron out . +802 GPS POS 5 what be great about it : Easy to Use & Understand ... Lifetime Maps ... Lane Assist be a Life Saver ... customizable ... Nice Interface I travel a lot , but where map and direction be concern , I be a dummy . I have always have problem in figure out where I be go , how to get there and how to get back . this be my first GPS unit and the process in select a good one seem confusing and difficult . call it good fortune , but after web research , I land on this one , and WOW , be I glad I do ! EVERY thing I have do & discover from the minute I get home and open the box have reinforce this great purchase . a few highlight . 1 . lifetime map ... rather than to pay $ 90 - 100 per year for map update , pay a little more upfront , get a unit that have the `` LM '' designation . with what little knowledge I have about GPS unit , this be my first great decision . 2 . Lane Assist and detailed `` junction View '' . keep you in the right lane , and a great split-screen view of highway junction as you approach they . as I say , I be a traffic dummy and these be the place where I always get lose , go or confuse ... but I have try this and it work . I just listen to what be be say , check the lane indicator and stay there until tell otherwise . I have the benefit of be able to test this in Los Angeles , San Jose & Portland - and I sail through each of these city with ease . 3 . customization ... when you go to the Garmin site , register and log in , you can then download different type of vehicle , voice and other nicety for you device . you can even create custom voice , such as you own ! map update ... the process take a few hour the first time . you do have to download they `` Communicator Plugin '' and the Map Updater first , after that , every thing go smoothly and -lrb- again -rrb- good for dummy such as myself . fit and finish ... during my search for a gp device , I look at all the major maker and find I find the look of the Garmin road and map a lot better than any of the other . I also like the stark design of the unit itself . it just look GOOD . this be a 5 '' unit and -lrb- for I -rrb- very easy to see & read . should you pay a little more and get a unit that also include Traffic capability ? for some , perhaps . I find this on sale for $ 127.00 and for that price , this be PERFECT . +724 GPS POS 5 I use my new Garmin Nuvi 1450 a few day after I receive it on a trip from New York State to North Carolina . the screen be bright , clear and easy to use . love the voice direction that actually tell you the road or street name as you be ready to turn onto it . I would recomend it to anyone that drive . +361 GPS NEG 1 while this unit be well-priced and be outfit with all the great feature -lrb- include voice command , Bluetooth , HD traffic , smart route , etc -rrb- , it have a clumsy interface , and much more importantly , it can not find or hold on to a gp signal . I read every technical forum , try every software update and fix , and nothing could make this thing work . after read online , it seem like hundred of other have have the exact same problem with the GO LIVE line . Bells and whistle aside , a gp be not worth anything if it can not locate you on a map ... return , and now stick with Garmin . +178 GPS POS 4 overall the Garmin be work pretty well for we need . the only thing we find be that it have take we to several restaurant that be not there anymore . but we just pick another one near by and go there . we love that feature too - find attraction close by where we be and place to eat . you never know what be over the next hill ! the audio be pretty good - loud enough for both I and my husband - in fact I have have to turn it down several time ! we be very glad we buy this model . +617 GPS NEU 3 this gp be ok . when I start look at different model to replace my old Magellan -lrb- obsolete because they stop release map update after I have it one year -rrb- I see this one and just have to have it because of the big screen . now that I have it I kind of wish I get a smaller one and save some money . the big screen be nice , but I can see my old one with a 3.5 inch screen just fine , so I do not really need such a large screen . my main gripe with this unit be the pathetic little mount it come with . the mount be so tiny that it be useless , and , of course , they will sell you the proper mount for a extra fifty buck . so that seem a little dishonest to I . so if you be consider this unit , figure on spend the fifty dollar more , and just order the right mount at the same time and save yourself a headache . +705 GPS POS 5 great product and quick delivery !! give as a present and they love it . Planning a long trip soon and ready to put to good use . +461 GPS POS 5 the gp come timely and everything look good . I even have extra offer send with the product , which I think be cool . use it , love it ! +481 GPS POS 4 we buy two of the GPSMAP 76Csx model for we resource staff . after work with the device for a few week , I decide to purchase my own to replace my aging GARMIN eTrex Vista The 76Csx be go to be a great tool for we wetland delineation process . although of low reolution and scale the ability to load the MapSource 1:100000 map will provide a little more detail than the base map . we use DNR Garmin to transfer these point between the device and we arcmap \/ arcgi software . this easily allow we to display we field map coordinate in a geo-referrenced satelite image environment for plan purpose . be able to change datum on the fly be important for we vary datum format . I only wish the unit would accept more text annotation and display it in the mapping software . this would be more useful for discusion of individual point datum . +454 GPS POS 5 I previously own a older Nuvi GPS and really like it , but the map be get outdated and decide to go with one that have lifetime map . this newer Nuvi do everything my older one do and so much more . I be so glad I get it . +148 GPS POS 4 this product be a excellent pilot . it be portable and the character be bold . it be very easy to navigate . it would have be a 5 star product if not for the outdated map and the inadequate customer service . effort to contact the customer service on how to upgrade the map have be fruitless . +60 GPS POS 5 I buy this watch as a gift for my wife a couple of month ago , and she love it . I decide to go with the 205 instead of the 305 because it have all of the same function except for the heart rate monitor . the watch be a bit larger than most , so if you have smaller wrist you well have to get use to the size . the gp module locate the satellite farely quickly depend on you surroundings and be quick to give you you need information . so overall garmin make a good product and I would recommend it to anyone who love to run . +721 GPS POS 4 I finally replace my old heart rate monitor with this gp device . I like it a lot as it show I the vitals that I need to keep on push further . I have not explore all the feature but I be happy with the basic that it provide I so far . +995 GPS NEG 1 I purchase a 760 in 2006 , with the promise that update would be available on a regular basis . several time in 2007 , the unit itself prompt I to go to magellangps.com for new update , but the website say each time that the update wold not be available until `` x '' , x be a few month in the future . but yesterday , there be a update available . for $ 80 -lrb- well , I could live with that if it be a good update -rrb- , but - a really , really huge but - it be not available by download , and the dvd they offer could only be USED on a pc !! I be stunned , and call they customer support , which confirm that I could not update the unit on a APPLE COMPUTER ! what a huge ripoff . I now have a $ 300 paperweight ... never again !! +659 GPS NEU 3 I buy this to replace a older Garmin since the cost to update the map be close to the cost of a new unit . this be a great gp unit in every respect except it do not have a external volumn control . I prefer to cut the volumn on that annoying voice -lrb- recalculate -rrb- when I be in area that be familiar . the volumn control on this device be bury in the menu - annoying . +715 GPS POS 4 we purchase this unit for visit in Texas on about 6\/1\/06 . it have the Version 8 map with the matte screen . overall , we be very satisfied but it be not perfect . we have to send the first sample we purchase back due to a dead pixel -lrb- I be not shell out $ 600 for a flawed product -rrb- . the second model arrive flawless . since then we have make the follow observation . pro - talk to you with the street name , save have to look at the screen as often . how much be you safety worth ? - attractive form factor , small enough but yet large enough - good battery life - save gas and time , and reduce get lose , even around you own town . - display , we be pleased with the daylight and nightime performance . con : - seem pricy for what you get - Startup time -lrb- acquire satelite -rrb- seem excessive on a fresh power up . - dozen of road in the internal map software be not accurate cause much confusion when drive . this be a software map issue , not a hardware issue . map be not accurate . +89 GPS POS 5 recently I get a new car with a long dashboard , which make it impractical to keep use my SiriusXM Starmate 4 's suction cup windshield mount . I do not want to get a mount for the dashboard and damage it , and my vent be vertical , remove that option . originally I order this for my new phone , a Samsung Skyrocket , which be a big phone -lrb- think HTC EVO -rrb- . I quickly find that this mount not only work well for that -lrb- make it a life saver when I be use the GPS Navigation -rrb- but also for the Starmate 4 , which be bulky , not symmetrical , with 3 wire come out of the back of it . the mount fit securely in my unused CD Player slot , and the mount itself securely hold the radio itself . before this I have my radio near my gear shift , mean I have to look down to use the radio , thus make I a accident wait to happen . the only slight complaint I have be that the device itself do feel a little cheap , so I be a little worried about the long term durability of it . regardless I be not go to reduce my rating over conjecture that it may not last . overall I fully recommend this product . I already recommend it to my dad who be satellite radio can not be mount anymore . +786 GPS POS 5 I buy this for my wife and she love it . out of the box , turn it on and away she go . she use it all the time , no problem , & very user friendly . +522 GPS POS 5 this item be exactly as list . I be very satisfied with the item and the savings as compare to other listing . +940 GPS POS 5 the Mio c220 be everthe that be write about it . the Mio arrive ready to use straight from the box . there be certain combination of option that you have to tweak for you personal use , once accomplish you will truly have a remarkable and affordable gp unit . I read many comment prior to buy the c220 . the few con that I read about the product , -lrb- I be convinced -rrb- , be due to incorrect setting . once you have the correct combination of type of road you will use , or the route you prefer , -lrb- fast , economical , or most direct route etc. -rrb- , I have find it perform without question as the best unit at the best price . I would definately recommend this unit to everyone . +30 GPS POS 5 I have a older model Garmin Nuvi , buy four year ago . instead of pay for a map update , I opt to purchase a newer model -- and I be so glad I do ! I check Consumer Reports , which rank this Nuvi 1350LMT as top in its class . and with good reason ! it have a bigger screen and more option than the original model -- include traffic alert , speak street name , lane assist , a alert when I be exceed the speed limit and many more ! I have always love the ease of use of the Garmin , and this be no exception . the touch screen be not quite as responsive as my original one . you have to press down a lot harder to type in state , street name , etc. . but it be otherwise easy to operate and I love the additional feature -- most important among they be the lifetime map and traffic update . give all the construction project in and around my area , I be sick of the old Garmin tell I I be drive through water or over vacant field . now , I 'll always stay on track . the only thing I would have like be a feature my neighbor 's GPS have -lrb- not sure which brand -rrb- which even tell you the name of body of water that you be drive past . but otherwise , this be a incredible value and incredibly useful tool for any motorist ! -lrb- I actually would have spend the extra $ 50 for the bluetooth version , but the Garmin website say it be not compatible with my iPhone . too bad ! -rrb- +878 GPS POS 5 I can see why people be poe about this . I be give this 5 star base on the quality of the product , because it be very nice , and not for the sneaky marketing scheme of Garmin , which would get -5 in my book . the base map that come with a Garmin GPS be rubbish . not just with respect to it not have any city street but even the lake be all deform and inaccurate . while motor out of we dock the gp show we go over land ! City navigator fix all this and it quite impressive . so ... this software be a ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE if you be go to buy a Garmin mapping gp . this be something that Garmin neglect to advertise since they know you will have to buy the mapping software once you buy the GPS . luckily I pay half retail for my gp unit so I be not quite as tick . the software unlock process be unnecessarily absurd as well . +352 GPS POS 5 I purchase one of these almost a year ago , product have be excellent . I have use the mount on my dirt bike in very rough terrain go very fast , no problem . I have have this mount on my mountain bike in Moab , UT no problem . I ride my dirt bike one to three time a week over rough trail with this mount and no problem . when I go to a wma on my mountain bike and ride for a whole weekend I never have a problem . I think the people where the GPS fall out after two small bump and such do not install the mount correctly . I never write review unless a product real impress I and this one do . I have purchase two so I do not have to keep switching hardware between my dirt bike and mountain bike . this be a great product . +674 GPS POS 5 Ihave not have a chance to use it many time . the few time that I have there have be no problem . I really like the large screen +119 GPS POS 5 I buy this gp for we trip to south and the experience be wonderful . ease of enter address , select we favorite place , real time map and voice prompt help a lot ! we never get lose . Wish total trip summary be display before start of drive . a solar charger will also be a great help when wire charger get lose ! +160 GPS POS 4 I have use this now on several short adventure . I mainly use the tracking feature and altimeter . overall it be quite easy to use and serve my purpose . I be still get use to it and learn how to optimize , but I consider this normal with any device like this . +174 GPS NEU 3 the map be at least 2 year out of date . it be not 100 % correct but be more useful than not . +903 GPS POS 5 many user of the Garmin e-Trex bemoan the limited availability of map-datum for they unit . this be not a problem if they have the serial-data lead accessory , the GPSU application , and TextPad 4.6 or Microsoft XL . by take a good quality map of a area of interest , scan the map and create a bitmap image -lrb- use Photoshop element , for example -rrb- , which be then load into the GPSU application so that a map-data file can be create . this file can then be open in TextPad 4.6 or Microsoft XL so that the datum can be arrange in alphabetical order and catalogue section . it can also be print out if need be . i do this for northern Ireland by scan a good quality roadmap , and load all the datum into the e-trex . -lrb- e-mail I if anyone want the file -rrb- . this procedure can be apply to any country or region . the only restriction be the e-trex 's memory capacity . there be not a ` where be I now ' feature , but select the screen for speed , etc. , bring up a option to display - continuously - where you be and be go , without the need to mark a waypoint , like I do when the e-trex be first get . +926 GPS POS 4 significantly reduce my repetitive stress issue cause by use the mouse , so it be worthwhile . unfortunately , it have no scroll wheel , which suck , and it be not nearly as precise as use a normal mouse . consequently , I leave a normal mouse plug in next to this one , in case I need it ... or in case someone else need to use my pc . I wish 3M make a more advanced and pimped-out version , with better material , better switch , and a SCROLL wheel . I would pay at least $ 100 for one . +678 GPS POS 5 I be new to run , listen to several of my `` runner friend '' about how this watch would help I in all stage of my run , but especially as I transition to couch 25k . I buy this watch from Amazon and be SUPER happy with the watch . pro ~ \* it look like a normal watch , unlike previous bulky version and it fit a variety of wrist size . \* it appear to be heavy duty and well make , buckle be sturdy , strap be all thick , flexible rubber , be comfortable to run in , do not snag on anything while on my wrist . \* I can usually connect with a satellite within 1 minute of attempt . I run in town , have not have any interference with connect or dead spot along my run . \* it be user friendly , you may have to breeze through the user manual to figure out how to link up with the heart rate monitor and locate satellite , but if you be at all technically savvy , you can figure this out pretty simply . \* it use a handy convertible charger \ usb to charge or upload , one cord , less hassle . \* I upload to Garmin Connect website , connect to my device well , I choose upload new activity , and whah-lah , I can see a red highlight of my entire workout route each time I upload , even the day i forget to turn off the satellite and drive with my runner partner to Steak-and-Shake for they breakfast special . : -rrb- it be really awesome to see a re-playable virtual map of you run and at what point you heart rate , speed , distance . . etc. . you can view 2 separate chart , or all 3 at once that show performance on each run . if you want to link with other local runner , you can make yourself visible online , perhaps even share route ~ I have no interest in that though , so I disable that function . online software work great on my iMac . I also use the android mobile app for the Garmin Connect website , it be call `` Ga Co Mo. '' it do not show EVERY feature the Garmin website show , but it be a super nice , on the run way to refer back to you stats , calorie burn , date and activity , include modify chart and datum . the mobile app do not let you enter manual activity , like something you forget to enter that you do and remember the activity detail . but instead , you can enter that information online by enter a `` manual '' activity , then you can `` fetch new activity '' from you mobile app and you new activity will then show . \* the user profile on the watch help calculate more accurate datum , like gender , height , weight . use the heart rate monitor be the next step to personalize you run and more accurately measure calorie burn . definitely better to buy the watch with the heart rate monitor include , so much cheaper to buy it bundle !! con ~ \* the charger cord \ usb have a clip with 4 contact point to connect with the back of the watch , sometimes the watch do not charge because those contact point be not exactly line up . I may have a short in the cord too , not sure , but I have to double check each time to make sure it be charge . \* I do experience the screen lock up \ blank screen issue after 2 week of use . I follow what the Garmin web forum say to do and it work the second try . -lrb- while in Power Save Mode , press and hold the light button for 7 seconds , unit will shut off , then press and hold it again for 2 seconds and it should power back up fix the freeze issue -rrb- since then , I make sure to power off the unit after each use and it have not happen since , that be 2 month ago and no problem . ADDITIONAL : the watch be now 3 month old , just last week I notice a small crack in the PAGE \ MENU button , the next day the button must have break in half and be miss . I be work with Garmin currently on how how I can get either a replacement button , or fix , the original paper claim 1 year product warantee . because I do not buy it from Garmin or a physical store , I be a little concerned on warantee . I will post again to let you know how that go . I would definitely buy THIS PRODUCT again , it come highly recommend by MY RUNNER FRIENDS , it give me all the DATA I could possibly want ! +939 GPS POS 5 what a world of difference have a gp device to guide we to unfamiliar destination on we recent trip . Tomtom be so accurate , we soon do not bother take the detailed road map and print direction along . we day of road trip with paper map be over ! Tomtom one be definitely worth the money . do not bother buy a $ 2000 + gp system integrate into you next car . Tomtom one will get you there for approximately $ 200 . a big bonus : you can use it in any of you car . Tomtom one be compact and fit easily in my pocket . a great buy !!! +577 GPS POS 5 previously I use my HUGE Android phone and app to track my run . this solve the huge problem . light , comfortable , and easy to use . once its set-up all I do be return from my run , get close to the computer , and it automatically download my new datum . easily export into Garmin or other online fitness tracking site . I have be really impressed with the GPS antenna build into the wristband , really have to work hard to lose the signal , even deep in a canyon with Redwoods tower overhead . water resistant be a big plus ! my only complaint be in the packaging . REALLY ??!! why do I need 12 different language manual ? such a waste of material with the packaging , but do include adapter for many different country . very please with over 200 mile so far log . +937 GPS NEG 2 I have use a Garmin 500 for quite some time in my cycling . my main issue with the unit be that I consider the display to be less than adequate . I have try all manner of adjustment to the contrast , but alas , my cheap Cateye Strada mount alongside the Garmin shine brightly in all light situation - unlike the Garmin that cost many multiple of the Cateye computer . stupidly , have not see a 800 , and with idiotic assumption that Garmin would assuredly upgrade the display for something north of 600 buck -lrb- for the model with extra -rrb- , I have my dealer order I one . Surprise today on my first useage - it be worse than the 500 if that be possible . the only lighting that show the display clearly be when sunlight shine directly on the face of the unit . for most of my ride , I turn the back light on to illuminate constantly which help when ride in the shade , but of course just a 3 hour ride use up half the battery . I think the worst display be when ride in sunlight not directly shine on the unit - probably the most common situation . I would almost love this unit have Garmin find a way to offer a bright , easily read display . I say `` almost '' in that I stupidly think that perhaps Garmin would listen to user prior to release a new model . I have discuss the fact with they that I think that with all of the heart parameter that can be read in display window , a very important -lrb- to I -rrb- reading be the reading of maximum heart rate . of course like the 500 , that can be finally read in the comfort of you house after you stop the activity , reset the computer and then read the result of you activity . I want to be able to read it anytime I want to on the fly . I have plan to put this on my new time trial bike , but alas with the considerable effort of a all out tt , and the sometimes tunnel vision that result from such a drastic effort , I would guess that the 800 will be all but impossible to read . will Garmin EVER get it right ? I now believe that the answer be `` NO. '' between these two unit and my Garmin 305 watch -lrb- the most frustrating piece of gear ever -rrb- , apparently I be as bad as they - I do not learn very easily . __________________ Sandy Scott +816 GPS NEG 2 yes , it be inexpensive when compare to some alternative , but the devil be in the detail . these supplier all differentiate themselves on the software and feature set since the underlying chip tend to be common , so this be where you will want to focus when compare . thing I like about this system : 1 . the hardware be well do , though the cable to the receiver could be a little longer . 2 . the option to view satellite position in they software be really neat . 3 . integration with contact for route planning be nice . however , I just return my Pharos system for the follow reason : 1 . it crash my Dell Axim X5 PDA , and this be apparently a known issue . on investigation , the vendor 's web site have a faq on what to do in this situation . unfortunately this be not a rare occurrence , and it be clearly a software bug . 2 . another bug in the navigation software show my distance -lrb- as a bird fly -rrb- increase to the destination while I be actually head towards it on the interstate prescribe by the route software . after about 45 minute of this , it abruptly fix itself as if nothing have ever go wrong . 3 . the route calculation be so slow as to be unusable , and this be on a 400MHz Dell Axim x5 with a ton of memory - a very highest performance device . 4 . map inaccuracy be such that it occasionally indicate the user be off-route while on a major highway or the interstate . I think that this be a case where map position coordinate for the roadway be at least 50 to 100 foot in error . 5 . map have to be manually load from region to region . even if present in the memory , the user have to instruct the software to use it . this be a big hassle , and one that be not tolerable while drive . 6 . generate route be terrible in town and out , and I find myself use a paper map for the sake of efficiency instead of this system . as a example of how ridiculous thing can be , the device instruct I to exit Interstate 20 in the middle of nowhere then immediately get back on the highway . this be not relate to a map inaccuracy ; the exit ramp , stop sign , and entrance ramp be exactly where they be indicate to be but the instruction make no sense . there be also a number of product feature and tweak that should be address -lrb- in my opinion -rrb- : 1 . a route builder tool be need where the user be present with route option , or can constrain the route engine to use a certain highway or road set . without real time traffic information , school zone location , etc , this would be necessary even if the route engine be good . and wile not a panacea , this would also speed the calculation up as a side effect . 2 . the display should auto center when one zoom . draw a zoom box on the screen only instruct the unit what scale you wish to see rather than zoom in on a specific region . 3 . the map view tool be weak , make the process of transfer map to you pc and pocket pc slow and tedious . 4 . there should be a option to adjust the amount of detail show on the map : low , medium , high . I see situation at both extreme that I would have like to adjust -lrb- actually need to in one case -rrb- . 5 . it would also be nice to have basic trip computer feature like ETA at destination as well as waypoint or road change , average speed , a speed profile , etc. . 6 . the unit should be able to store and upload actual detailed route to Pharos ' web site for analysis . this would allow they to tweak they route engine to a point of usability , and perhaps generate rule or algorithm that would allow it to finish calculate before you arrive . conclusion : at its current stage of development , this be a toy at best . I do not what alternative to suggest yet , but would like to hear from you if you have a good one . best regards , Roy +591 GPS NEG 1 I be so excited to get this little puppy run . the Software that come with it do not work on my Windows 7 64-bit box but it run ok on another window xp machine , download from the IOGEAR website behave the same . I run the software and after I change the IP and save back to the print server it would revert back to DHCP . I call technical support and they have I reset the unit and then it start to behave itself but I be not able to get the printer and the print server to complete the wizard . we try , the support person and I , for a hour to get the unit to work with the printer . the printer server do not even allow we to open a webpage to it . I do not know if that be what be suppose to happen or if the unit be break or just not design to work with the printer . I be send the unit back , it have be a waste of time for I which be a shame . . so much promise . maybe usb be just not suppose to work on network afteral and this product just can not make it happen for every printer out there ? +47 GPS POS 5 this thing be great !! I have be use NeverLost -lrb- Magellan -rrb- in rental car for a few year and want my own . the Magellan have better selection for route , i.e. fastest , Shortest , most use of freeway , but the Nuvi be great . small , great battery life , good direction . I use it to find the Hess Collection Winery in Napa and trust I , that place be nowhere !! would have give up be it not for `` Jill '' tell we to keep on go . great device . +333 GPS POS 4 this have be a invaluable tool . i use it for hunting , camping , day trip , road trip , and geocaching . it be so user friendly my 7yr old can use it to find `` treasure '' -lrb- geocach -rrb- . the radio have good range as long as it be line of sight . there be about 20 people in we hunting family that use these , all but one have have no problem , the one be a factory lcd problem , outdoor store replace for free . i will hand down this one and get new color screen for myself . +850 GPS POS 5 hello everyone , when we first get we Prism Handspring Visor , we we be debate on if we should get the gp module or not . I be glad we do ! I have find the mapping software very detailed , and I can not wait for the Rand McNally Street Finder map software to come out . I hear that you can do point to point . I highly recommend the handygp concider the functionality and the price . there be so many different feature that you can do . I can not imagine why there have be people that have not enjoy this handy little device . I be able to name my house , my sister house , my favorite restaurant , etc. . . this be a totally cool toy on the cut edge . definetly a must have ! +900 GPS POS 5 I be very happy with the Magellan map 330x gp . I have purchase it because , for the price , it be better than any of the other brand . it have a good battery life -lrb- 9-10 hour from 2 aa depend on how often you use the light feature -rrb- , and come with map software which be a must for this type of GPS . the feature it have meet or surpass other product in its class . the only problem I have with it , be that in order to see any local street you must be zoom in pretty close , but you can not expect much more since the screen be only about 3 `` x2 '' . I feel that its very accurate ... with the map software I can see all of the rural street around my home . sometimes it take a while for the unit to orient its self , but once it have go through its cycle it stay lock on , even in my basement . I do my homework on this one , and I would recommend it over the other brand , unless they can come up with a better package ... though the other might have product in the same category , they do not package they gp with the software and the datum cable so they can ding you with the cost of buy it later . ... it would be worth you while to do some research before you buy though , so take the time to look around on the above web page , and visit epinions.com to help you make a sound purchase . +894 GPS POS 4 with the great disappointment from the Garmin c330 DOA , out of the box and immediate satisfaction come with this tomtom 300 unit . it have many language , voice , and great shortcut for local road . this unit have a durable support arm , easily usable touchscreen and simple route instruction with mode to tailor the route to eliminate ie : toll road . the voice prompt be highly accurate and hold true to instruction within 100 ~ 200 yard . I be still figure out the compass and car speed and why they be not there on the screen . the unit take sd card and I believe some can be order for other area . overall , I be highly impress with this . +587 GPS POS 5 love the 1350 LMT . it find the satellite instantly and be very helpful in city expressway traffic . I only wish it have a feature where I could program my route , as the route it take be not always the best or the one I want . do not get I wrong though , it be a great value and love it . +346 GPS NEU 3 if you absolutely need a windshield mount bracket for you Garmin 60 series gp , this one will do , but you may want to look elsewhere . there be another one available here at amazon that may work better ... but maybe not , and it be a bit more expensive . as for this one : \* Bottom Line : \* if ... _ if _ you really feel you need\/want a windshield mount ... it seem this be as good as any . but it do have its drawback . \* pro : \* seem sturdy and the gp stay in the bracket very well . \* more mount angle possible than cheaper one -lrb- like my old TomTom mount -rrb- . \* easy to move to another vehicle \* easy to disconnect the gp from the mount -lrb- !!! except that that darn little screw be still attach -lrb- see below -rrb- !!! -rrb- \* Cons : \* you need to use the belt clip `` screw '' that come with the gp unit itself ... or else it will not work !! \* this be -lrb- a -rrb- annoying and -lrb- b -rrb- pretty lame since it be a tiny little piece that can be easily lost\/misplaced \* while the mount angle be good for up and down ... help with the slope of various windshield ... it be not so great for turn to the side to avoid glare , etc. . so ... again , if you need a mount for hands-free use of this -lrb- at least while just view -rrb- ... this will work . however , it be arguable whether or not this be better for I than just hold the darn thing in my hand . and while convenience be not too bad , it be much more convenient to not use a mount at all . +205 GPS POS 5 I have a Garmin Forerunner 205 for many year and the battery be start to get weak . I really only use the pace , time , and mileage information , so the 305 be more garmin than I really need ; but for the incredible price , I have to get it . +400 GPS POS 5 it be very easy to use . Easy to set up . very exact with instruction . graphic and sound be just right . I highly recommend this product . +684 GPS POS 5 I can not really fault this product anything . for under $ 9 it be precisely what one need to protect they GPS unit . I be use this with the Motorola Motonav tn555 4.3-inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator if anything , I be a little put out that the GPS unit do not come with the cover . +606 GPS POS 4 buy this for my son , who be head off to college . work great . any change to trip have it quickly recalculate the new route . I feel better know that he will not get lose and feel helpless while try to become accustomed to he new home away from home . would have give five star , but it do seem to have a harder time locate a satellite in the city . could have be all the tree . +819 GPS POS 5 I use this to keep track of my two dog while they be off lead in the wood . it do a great job . when they go off chase whatever , you can see where they be relative to yourself and if need be you can go after they since you know the direction to take . it be very accurate at show they location . great job Garmin . my only complaint be that the track on the handheld seem to be position towards the bottom of the screen instead of the center . it give I total confidence to have they off lead so that if they get lose or hurt I will be able to find they . just a reminder , remember to re-calibrate the handheld when you change the battery . it be a very simple procedure but I forget about it and think there be something wrong with the unit . re-calibration solve the problem . +999 GPS POS 5 I have a Lorence H2O GPS prior to the purchase of the Garmin GPSMAP 60c . I have nothing negative to say about that unit and will keep it as a additional or second unit . it be a fine unit for the money . the Garmin 60CX be a big step up if you care to spend the extra cash and you get a lot for that extra . turn-by-turn , color , twice the battery life , and that sweet SurFer board -lrb- or however its call -rrb- that perform in area where I use to have a error rate in the hundred and now in the ten . my first unit need to be by the car window to get a lock . this Garmin do not seem to care where it sit in the car . the City Navigator software be a bit pricy to get functional street detail , but give the turn-by-turn function of the unit , I also have no problem buy it so the unit reach full potential . if you want a solid unit , there be other out there that do fine . if you want the best you can get in a hand hold , check this one out . +665 GPS POS 4 plus I have get mine as a gift , so it be free for I . I start use the unit shortly after I have get it . it be a great little helper . I upgrade the firmware to the latest version with the WebUpdater . I live in the NYC metro area and I try to confuse it many time go from Jersey to NY and back , change route suddenly and so on trick but do not succeed . it be recalculate route every time I fail to follow the direction . it do a great job pull I out of a situation , in which I appear to be lose -lrb- if I be not look at the screen , but try to find orientation on my own -rrb- . I turn the WAAS option and with it be really precise with it -lrb- less than 10 ft -rrb- . here be a link , explain the option in detail : -lrb- ... -rrb- as a product it be very professionally packed and with all necessary connector and cable to work in the car and charge the battery at home . no print manual , but not a big deal . it be very intuitive to start with , so you would not need a lot of instruction . I give it 4 star because of the follow ... minus -lrb- two thing from the top of my head -rrb- \* the battery be li-ion and they be know for they 2 year average life , so if I need to use it in 3 year from now , the chance be I will not be able to use it without external power source . there be no way to change the battery , except if -lrb- my guess only -rrb- you open the unit up , unsolder the old and solder a new one on the board . \* there be not enough information about the commercial place like grossery and department store . yet there be enough space on the card to add they . when I first connect it , the free space be over 500 mb . I hope if there be a later update of the map , they will include all of the miss object . +759 GPS POS 5 I really think this be a great product . I use it to power my Nobletec navigation software on my boat and it work faster and better than handheld GPS 's that I have pay hundred of dollar for . the software that come with it be also very easy to use . +967 GPS NEG 2 out of the box it be great . Easy to understand , big bright screen , multiple option for voice , etc. . . I get it as a birthday present -lrb- 4\/28 -rrb- and I be already feed up with it -lrb- 5\/1 -rrb- and send it back . the unit 's be really fickle about turn on . I have already have to hit the Reset button 5-7 time . also , the car adapter and the home cradle do not charge the unit either . it may have just be a bad unit , but I be try one of the other brand next . +801 GPS POS 5 each time before I buy my gp I do a lot of research and Garmin come out ahead . I have 2 other Garmin before buy this one and it get better each time . the view of the road , turn off , change to night view be all great . I be use it right now in Europe with the Europe map from Garmin while on vacation and the road and highway be all there . we have not be lose yet but the only problem I have be the sound ... it be not loud enough . when approach a turn or exit we have to turn down the radio and close the window to really listen . I would recommend this Garmin GPS who want great direction without get lose . one last note , I buy the Darth Vader voice and love it . the only thing it do not give street name just how far or when to take the exit or turn . you can switch voice anytime but Vader give you a different prospective . +582 GPS POS 4 I have own the garmin c530 for about a year now , and i have to say its quite nice and perform well . I use it nearly everyday as i drive for a living , it never get I lose no matter how many wrong turn i make . it have a vast amount of point of interest store in it allready with the ability to add more . it have a excellent battery life , and be also quite durable . i wil say though on the other hand its be bad when i tcomes to pick the best route . I can be on the interstate and it may want to send I down a small highway that would take 20 minute longer than just stay on the freeway . also drive time be quite accurate also . people complain that they be `` optimistic '' which its suppose to be as the gp beleive or not doesnt know how many redlight u will hit . also u can program red light camera into it so it will alert when ur comee up on one . +224 GPS NEG 1 read the fine print on the lifetime update . the update be not lifetime at all . they only work if you have enough memory to allow update . since memory of this item be limit to begin with , the company can shut you off anytime they care too by make the update map program a bit to large for you machine . what a scam ! +53 GPS POS 4 I recently purchase the Holux gr-213 gp mouse device for use with my mobile weather platform , and it work very well , with the notable exception of the installation . I run Windows Vista Home Premium x64 edition , and the installation only support 32-bit system . slightly disappointed , I need to run around the internet and install another serial driver to even interface with the device . I end up use the `` prolific usb-to-serial comm Port '' driver , and now the device work perfectly and be fairly precise . it be very compact , and have a long usb cable for placement wherever you need it , and , as advertise , be waterproof . it have a very good lockup time , range from a few seconds to around 10 seconds . it provide programmer with plenty of information , include you gp position , sattelite position , altitude , speed information , and much more . all in all , this be a very good device , and I do advise any consumer to purchase it . +568 GPS POS 4 this work well with my Garmin that I somehow lose the cigarette lighter cord during a move to a new house . however , in update my Garmin it become insane so I guess I will buy a new Garmin and then I will have two cord that will hopefully work on both . it be very much worth the money . +96 GPS POS 5 this be a great product . it be user friendly and great to handle . I just love it , it get I where I need to go . +749 GPS NEU 3 I love everything about this unit , except that on a cloudy day or when near tree it take way too long to lock onto satellite . often , I be to my destination while it be still hunting . this be my second Garmin . the first , a i-5 , be the same way . the factory nav system in we other car never have problem find itself like the garmin do . +691 GPS POS 5 excellent product . happy I purchase it . the product work great . screen be easy to see . Voice activation be a great feature when drive . +245 GPS POS 4 I be really enjoy this Magellan GPS . it be a large screen . I like that it tell you that you destination be on the right or leave , which we last gp do not . I would purchase it again . if there be one thing I wish be better it would be more pous 's . +189 GPS POS 5 I be reluctant to buy a portable gp system but after much research include discussion with Garmin sale reps. I decide to take a chance on the c330 . right out of the box , this device prove to live up to the manufacturer 's representation and after be road-test in Omaha , NJ , NY and Florida , I be now convince this be , without a doubt , one of the best device -lrb- gp and otherwise -rrb- that I have ever own . thank you Garmin for make my travels safer and my life less stressful when drive . +619 GPS NEU 3 the item be ok but I hate the fact that I be get pop-up advertisement when it come on . it also have some mis information in it as do my old one which sometimes lead I into never never land . +714 GPS NEG 1 I have buy hundred of amazon product and this be my first negative review . after about a week of use one of the side no longer adjust , there be a button you push to release it -lrb- so you can adjust the width of the holder -rrb- and after hit that the left side will no longer catch at any tighter position . I personally consider the review for most of the product I have buy on amazon , which be why i be fill this out . +381 GPS NEG 1 I purchase a 1370t for my trip to Europe in July of 2009 . the unit function for a total of 2 day before die on I . here I be have spend $ 400 for the 1370t , in a foreign country travel with a dead gp unit . I guess paper map still have a purpose . at the time I receive the unit I also purchase a city map of Athens . to garmin 's credit they replace the unit in September when I return . though it do little to ease my pain . now the icing on the cake . a month after I receive a function unit I be advise that garmin issue a map update for the city navigator map . this update I have to purchase all over again since Garmin do not provide for free update on this product . it would seem to I that in a difficult environment for the hand hold GPS manufacturer that they would do everything possible to keep customer happy . not Garmin . they seem to think that we will just take what they hand out without consequence . they be wrong . if you want a sporadically function unit and poor customer service then Garmin be for you . +730 GPS POS 5 opt to not go with the 305 because I just do not see myself actually wear the heart rate strap -lrb- comfort thing -rrb- . have worn this on many run include the Zeitgeist half Marathon in November - so far it have work flawlessly . very happy with this product . +405 GPS POS 4 although a little bulky on the wrist , this device log you location accord to GPS and heart rate from the chest transmitter , during you training and allow you to upload it to a pc for further analysis . this be probably the feature I find most useful as it allow you to monitor you improvement -lrb- or otherwise -rrb- over time by compare the result of you training session . I personally do not find the display too useful and tend not need to look at it during training as there be far too much information on it to take in , although I understand that it be possible to reduce\/customise this . if Garmin could reduce the size of the device by take the display off altogether , it would be great ... the only other dislike be that the hear rate monitor transmitter be a little bulky and be not compatible with most standard gym equipment , which be annoying , however as the watch be log all the datum anyway , it be not too bad . the time take to lock onto the satelite from switch the device on be a bit variable , sometimes connect in seconds and other time upto 5 minute . I could understand this behavior if I be turn it on in a very different location to where I turn it off , but I always turn the device on and off outside my house ... all in all , a very useful gadget . +74 GPS NEG 1 I have have this product for several month . it be very buggy and finally crash . the computer could not recognize it nor could I do a reset . I contact tech support and to simply summarize it , they be awful : unresponsive , uncaring , and do not offer any meaningful solution . the product deserve 3 star at most , but I downgrade it to one because of the tech support from Garmin +328 GPS POS 4 I recently purchase a GPS Tom Tom 550TM to replace my Garmin 255W GPS . I must say that I be not happy with the way Amazon handle the shipping as they do not include the Easy point mount . no mount bracket whatsoever tha I can find in the package . it would be nice if Amazon shipper would thoroughly inspect each part or item that be order to make sure it be complete before shipping . the shipper negligence of not ship a complete component of the gp cause I a delay for a few day of my plan trip of drive cross country . I call Amazon and tell they about the miss mount component and I be tell they will ship it to I which will arrive in 2-3 day where they could have ship it overnight since it be there fault and negligence . anyhow , this Tom Tom GPS 550tm be a better gp compare to my Garmin . it have a better route , easy menu to work on , big screen , and the lane guidance assist help in critical traffic lane confusion . the speed alert that beep when you go over the speed limit also help when drive down the road and forget the speed limit . it sure will save you from get a traffic speeding ticket . this gp have a better much more accurate route compare to my Garmin . my Garmin tell I to make unnecessary turn sometimes on certain street and yet at one time , it take I further to a freeway entrance and it pass a much closer freeway entrance which make I wonder why . since then I lose my trust on Garmin for its route . I be happy with my new Tom Tom . +727 GPS POS 4 I purchase this to use with a Zumo 660 . I think I have order a solid composit unit . MY FAULT . however I like the space saving for storage . I have not riden on a cloudless day since install . seem to be effective . will have to see how velcro attachment hold up at highway speed . +868 GPS POS 4 the product be quite good and reliable . I be new in US and this product have be the only source by which I be survive - visit to various client across the state due to the travel nature of my job . except for some area like make a u - turn or in highway where you need to take a right turn and then round about to take a left , the product fail to highlight that . it only say you to take a left turn whereas left turn in reality be not permissible . +755 GPS NEG 1 although never mention in the product description , Garmin GPS unit in this general category be NOT Mac compatible . they work only with Windows . for such a well-known brand , this be surprising and extremely inconvenient . the ramification of this be that the gp work fine in the field , but waypoint transfer and map must be do on a pc platform . do not have a pc ? you be out of luck . something I wish I have know before spend several hundred dollar on the receiver . +15 GPS POS 5 I love this watch and do not now how I ever run without it . I have convince other fellow runner to buy it and they love it too . it be very accurate and push I to run harder and faster . my only complaint be the heart rate # be too small to be useful . I just wear my polar watch for that . +312 GPS POS 5 ipad require a bigger jolt than iphone . this do the job plus offer the option to charge two -lrb- like iPad and iPhone -rrb- at the same time . +761 GPS POS 5 I buy this product and receive it in Brazil perfectly . everything ok . it take about 30 day to be in Brazil , but arrive in perfect condition . in the end , it do not fit in my Garmin GPS , but this be a risk I run . the product be exactly how be describe . I recommend it . +66 GPS NEG 2 item come in look good . when I go to update the map and get it ready to use and I receive a error . no room on hard drive . I call TomTom and they be unable to correct the error . they say to send in my receipt and they would send I a new one , but when they receive my receipt they give I a web address to download new map . not what be promise . I send they a message and I be still wait on the response . not sure what they be go to do , but I may have to send back for a refund . +576 GPS POS 5 I have own Mio c220 for more than a month . I have no major complain on this device so far . it be very easy to use and the route calculation be faster than Garmin or TomTom accord to my observation . the c220 be able to recalculate the route when you miss the original planned route , this feature be a major plus point . the lcd touch screen be fast and responsive and I like the QWERTY keyboard format to input address while the Garmin have ABCD telephone format which be difficult to input . you can drag or move the 2d map use you finger easiely . the device be light weight and it can fit in most of the pocket . the lcd screen bright enough for mount on the windscreen\/dashboard for navigation . I find the navigation be very accurate and dead on . it come with a car charger but no home or wall charger . I have be use my Motorola RAZR wall charger to charge my c220 at home and it work . my only complain be that not too many accessory be available for c220 and lack of full support to its update software for mac . otherwise c220 score much higher than TomTom . +822 GPS POS 5 just put this review to clear my account , I use to have this and it be great , travel many road with it . -lrb- have a Zumo 550 now -rrb- +970 GPS POS 5 wow , buy this at a good price with all the cookie . get you right there even in remote area . +171 GPS POS 5 I hike at least once or twice a year , and usually into area which be not clearly marked or travel by many people . I be thrill to have get this Magellan as a member of the Vine program . I use it this past weekend , just walk in my neighborhood park . let I start by say it be super easy to set up -lrb- battery -rrb- and program the destination -lrb- although maybe it be simply because I have be use a variety of gp system over the past 5 year or so in car and handheld -rrb- . this item be perfect for carry in a pocket , be very lightweight and be extremely user friendly . I use it locally here all last weekend -lrb- various place in NJ and Pennsylvania -rrb- and it function beautifully . of course the true test will be when I travel to Montana in May and use it in the wilderness . but I be excite with its potential !!! +706 GPS NEU 3 this be my third Garmin Forerunner . the first two , 201 and 301 be very similar to the 305 , so I really do not review any of the instruction for this device . my biggest complaint with this be that I do not feel it be make for a woman . the 305 have a watch like strap , with notch that secure the Forerunner to the wrist . I have to wear it on the second to tightest notch to keep it secure and because of the design , it dig right into my wristbone . I have now turn the Forerunner to the inside of my wrist to alleviate the pain , which have cause I to accidentially knock the `` stop '' or `` lap '' button in the middle of a run -lrb- more detail on that -rrb- . the 201 and 301 forerunner be large as well , but due to they rectangular shape and velcro strap , they never cause any discomfort to I . the button on the 305 I have mix feeling on . as for the five side button , they be just as I have have in the past , which be very difficult to push -lrb- I feel like I have to push hard to get a reaction -rrb- . the two on the face , while convenient and very easy to push , they be also a bit sensitive , so as I mention ealier , I have accidently bump these and stop or start the timer . the heart rate strap again I feel be make for a man . I have it on the most secure setting , and if it be not for the fact that it be under the band of my sport bra , I do not know that it would stay in place . I do like that it do read my heat rate immediately -lrb- the 301 would not pick up a rhr -rrb- , but the sensor MUST be very wet before you apply it to you skin , or it will never pick up a hr , even if you be sweating . the display can be adjust for what information you want to see . however , the heart rate , if not one of you setting , will appear in the top right corner at about a font size of two . good luck reading that ! the training program that the datum be download to be the same as the other Forerunners , just a bit more update . what I like be that it continue my information from the old program , but now display a `` rating for you cadence '' -lrb- walk , fast walk , slow jog , fast jog , etc. -rrb- Pretty much you can keep yor entire workout history on you pc or laptop . +374 GPS POS 4 fairly easy to use out of the box . I be lucky enough to know someone that already have one . it be confuse that when you enter a address that to save it you have to hit do , if you do not you will not have the address again if you have intend on store it . you have to remember that the global positioning system be not 100 % accurate . when use it to go to a relative home I need it because it be a fairly complicated area , once there it announce the house be on the right when it be on the left . so make sure you check the address . it can be off . also if there have be recent construction it might not be update to tell you where the entrance be on a highway . the nice thing be if you take a wrong turn , the unit announce `` recalculate '' in a rather upset voice , and then give you another route . it will not necessarily give you the fastest route , but you will get there . +551 GPS NEU 3 I have 2 printer serve by 2 IOgear printer server . there be no problem install the 1st one . the problem happen when I install the 2nd one . if you use the default lpt1 : , you will lose the 1st printer . I have to try -lrb- and error -rrb- several time to get both print server intall properly by use different lptx : +84 GPS POS 5 I love this gp . I drive 35 mile one way to work each day in heavy traffic . this gp have turn into a life saver for I . it take I a while to `` trust it '' when it route I a different way home but now I just do `` as I be tell '' and I save considerable time and stress . have gps - go anyware ! I 'll never be without one . btw - my daugher call I a `` technical wannabe '' who be helpless without she but I have this gp figure out in no time . it be that easy . +871 GPS POS 4 I have use this a few time and find the verbal street word a big help . also like the idea of the lifetime map . Easy to use and easy to read . +600 GPS POS 5 I just intall the WGPS606 . it work fantastically as a wireless bridge and print server . installation be straight forward and easy . I now have two printer , a Canon i950 and a HP 1210xus , accessible on the network . I have a Dell run 24 hour a day so that my family could share a printer . now all computer will sleep in the household . I should save enough money in electricity to pay for the print server . +764 GPS POS 5 do a great job protect my Garmin Nuvi . it be compact size make it a perfect addition to any glovebox or purse . +803 GPS POS 5 I order this device after Consumer Reports rate it a best buy , favor it above other more expensive model and I be not disappoint . this way exceed my expectation , and the thumb wheel -lrb- instead of the touch screen -rrb- be great , work similar to a blackberry . the voice instruction be clear and straight forward . I would strongly recommend that you also purchase the three-sided Garmin friction base so it sit on you dashboard . for the extra $ 30 , it work well . I have only have my Garmin a month or so and already , three friend have buy one just like it after see mine in action . +844 GPS NEU 3 have this for two month and have mostly be good . do take a while to start up , which when you be lose be not so great . but when it be go , it be really good at get I where I need to go and help I when I miss a turn - it recalculate pretty quickly . I be go to contact Garmin about the issue of lose the satellite signal , which it have do on a few occasion and not in area where that might be understandable -lrb- high building , tree , etc -rrb- . I do not have other GPS 's to compare it to , but I think I would buy it again . +282 GPS POS 4 I like the larger screen , it be good to know the arrival time , I like the speed ware part , it be not good at cancel a destination if you change you mind . +991 GPS POS 4 Garmin nuvi 1350LMT 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Lifetime Map & Traffic Updates if you do not need all the `` bell & whistle '' , then this fit the bill with turn by turn voice prompt + `` lane alert '' in busy traffic . no , it do not have voice recognition should you often wish to change destination while drive , i.e. delivery , on the go info. , etc. . the 4.3 '' screen fit in you pocket\/purse easily & accept walk info . for city tour , hike , etc. . I just wish Garmin 's update be more time efficient ! +348 GPS NEG 1 not a item to be use with a pc for the tracking download . have to remove Garmin software from pc , it keep lock my pc down ! +653 GPS POS 4 I have do about 5 run with this so far and it be great the first couple of run and bike ride , but now it seem to be have trouble find the satellite all the time . I be do the same route so it be not that I have change my area . I like all the feature and its great when it be work . love be able to download to my computer . it be super easy to use . +897 GPS NEU 3 Garmin have several feature that relate to the time of day . some example be sun & moon time , estimate time of arrival . if you have travel into a different time zone out of you original setting , the GPS unit leave it up to you to calculate the correct time base on you original setting . this be very inconvenient when you have travel from the west coast to the east coast thru four time zone . it also provide a problem when you destination be right on a time zone border . a cell phone automaticly change for time zone , but NOT a GPS unit that can calculate exactly where you be in the world ???? this be a Garmin overlook that I believe they should correct . +855 GPS NEG 2 this be my second Garmin . I buy a 305 last year and have to return in less than a month as the battery would not last longer than 2 hour . this year I buy this 410 . I be return it . after just 3 week it freeze up with a blank screen and never work again . Garmin say to return it . but before I do I really like it . it be comfortable to wear . it acquire satellite in less than a minute . the touch bezel be very sensitive but once lock it work fine . I be not get another 410 . I would buy a Nike Sportband GPS but it do not have average pace so I 'll probably try a 610 . good luck with a Garmin ... they be not the highest quality stuff . +268 GPS POS 5 I decide to buy this small gp for several reason , and be not disappoint . I carefully read all customer review of all unit available , and dollar for dollar , this unit be consistantly rate best of breed . within minute of put in the battery , this unit be up and run . this be my first GPS , but I could not imagine something so small and easy to use . it may not have a large screen , or it may not give you the name of the street to turn on , but so what . the voice direction be loud and clear , they be accurate and timely , and if you really need to look at the screen , it be sharp and clear . I immediately set up direction to friend 's home I always get lose try to find , and add they to the favorite list . I set the type of vehicle to car\/motorcycle , and set the mapping for speed , not shortness of distance . the clickwheel be superfast , and make touchscreen unnecessary . the preloaded map be great , and I suspect I will not have to update they for quite a while . and it be fun-my wife like it so much that she have take it and will not give it back . the other night , we want to eat at a restaurant we have not be to before , so we click where to ? , then food\/hotels , then pick the kind of food we want , choose a new restaurant , then click navigate ... it take we there , we have a great time , and then it take we home . we try to get lose to test it , but it keep get we back on track towards home , no matter how hard we try to fool it . this be one heck of a unit for the money !! one more thing ... Amazon consistantly have the best price and delivery service on this unit , so do not waste you time look anywhere else . +518 GPS POS 5 I first experience a rental car Garmin which be why I buy mine - superfantastic for get around LA , travel from the mid-west to CA . so much easier and safer than look a map or write down direction . a must for big city drive and travel cross country - find hotel , gas station , coffee shop , nearby store with great ease - phone number supply so you can call to make reservation , etc. . how do I live without it ? +989 GPS POS 5 excellent BETTER THAN the PREVIOUS one WE HAD that be stolen while VALET PARKING . this time when WE VALET PARK WE will take it with US +517 GPS POS 5 I really enjoy use this device . enter run information be easier on the computer than manually in the watch . get to check out my pace and hr encourage my run . +300 GPS NEU 3 it take about 5 minute to acquire the satellite . the accuracy be average - not bad , but it be not good . if you have money to spend , go with the Garmin 's newer model 310xt . it be much faster and much more accurate compare to this model . +747 GPS POS 4 I really like the garmin that I purchase . Everything work wonderfully , even the voice that I choose for it to speak to I in , but it take a little time to get use to the english accent . what be keep it from be perfect be the map be not the most up to date . if you be travel in a established area then it be flawless but if you be in a area that have have a lot of construction recently then it can not find anything because the map be outdate . be cautious of this in you purchase of a gp . +476 GPS POS 4 the watch have perform well and have a lot of feature . the menue be very intuitive and easy to use . my only complaint be that one of the pin that hold the watch to the strap pop out when I be try to squeeze through a door - not as strong of a design there as I would have like . the watch also seem to loose satelite more often then the Timex Bodylink that I have . but I consider it a better watch and it be a better value than the 305 . +288 GPS POS 4 I use a Garmin 765T for many year but the cost of update the map be only slighly less than buy a new unit so I opt to purchase this nuvi2360 . physically the unit be similar so I can reuse the friction dash mount pad on the new unit . my only complaint be that the new unit be not as bright as the old one . the reason be that the color scheme frey street on white background of the 765 be not among the choice for the 2360 . overall , the unit work well although the route be something strange . +781 GPS NEG 1 the system overheate the first 5 hour that I have it and shut down . activate the fmtraffic be a pain and the instruction be terrible . get you lifetime map be a pain as well . I will buy a compete product the next time as I give up on Garmin as I have have two other GPS 's from they fail over the past 4 year . +197 GPS POS 5 this be a first rate geocach hand unit . I have have great success locate geocach with this fabulous gp unit . I be now able to maintain satellite signal in any location , even in my house . I recommend purchase City Navigator software to be install in this unit and this make this gp unit the total package . I give it five star for performance and user friendly control . +731 GPS NEG 1 I agree , this be a flimsy piece of plastic that will not hold the GPS unit over a few little bump . I expect more from Garmin . consider this : Touratech Mount for Garmin 60C series . its a solid unit . it cost a little more but you will not be replace you gp unit due to it fall to the ground . +955 GPS POS 5 I be very , very pleased with the Garmin 305 . so much so , that after 3 month of use , I buy one for my wife . the biggest selling point for I be the relatively small size , and the great reception . one of my colleague opt for a Timex model that have a gp unit strap to he arm with wireless to a wristwatch . he almost never use it because of the poor reception . one frustration with the Garmin , though , be the software they provide to analyze you workout datum . the software have very limited capability and frequently make error in associate the type of workout . at least once a week it combine a bike workout with a run workout , even though the two workout be on separate day and I be very careful to reset the watch . combine the two make it a `` multi-sport '' workout and put all the datum into a separate category . one suggestion to Garmin -lrb- besides improve they software -rrb- be to make a version that can be worn in the water . since I dabble in triathlon , I would love to gather datum in the water , too . +367 GPS POS 5 buy this for my dad who get he steal from he car . say the ball and socket be snug but I think that that be not a bad quality to have . great price and have not hear any complaint yet from he . he have have it for over a month now . +259 GPS POS 5 this be my second Garmin Nuvi product -lrb- my previous model be a 255 -rrb- and the feature of the new model make it a pleasure to use . there be still some problem with the mapping and pous datum , but they be get better . I would highly recommend the Garmin Nuvi 1450LMT to anyone search for a first or replacement gp unit . +355 GPS POS 5 my husband have a Garmin GPS which he use for vacation travel and hiking , but I could never take the time to figure out how to use the thing , so I print out my step-by-step instruction from Maps & Streets or Mapquest . and I have to admit that I put myself in danger more than once try to read the next turn while drive . my husband like he gadgit , so when he Garmin go kaput , he go into hyper research mode . he buy the TomTom even though he Mr. Fixit buddy repair the Garmin . he love the pre-loaded map and the long battery life . he download he own pous datum and when he be mess around with it , he contact user support and receive good technical support within a day . I be not happy he buy another gp when I be not thrill with the first one , but I let he have he toy ... I be convert when we have to go to a wedding of a distant relative in the NYC area . it route we the same as map and Streets , but without any effort . we easily be route to restaurant and gas station along the way . we stay at a secluded state campground and it even have the campground 's `` road '' in its database ! when we come back home , several bridge be wash out from severe rain , and we easily re-route to avoid the closed road . just be careful not to use the `` shortest route '' feature in rural area , because you may need a 4x4 ! we also let we friend borrow it for a few day while they be visit from out of town . they be skeptic too , until they use it . they know what they get for Christmas this year ! this thing be so easy to use right out of the box . I really like the feature of let you know what turn be come up and that it calibrate when to tell you and at what volume depend on you speed . I highly recommend this for the Mr. Gadgits and the people like I who just want it to be easy to use right out of the box . BJ +55 GPS NEG 1 I buy this model gp 305 because it claim to have better satellite range and reception , every run I use it on , I keep loose the satellite , the pace per mile would jump from 9-10 min . mile to 2-4 min . mile . it would give I the average pace per mile , but not the max pace per mile , this be a replacement for the gp 205 that I have , which never give I any trouble . I will probably go back to the 205 . +772 GPS NEU 3 this be a good price for gp with unlimited map and traffic but other website also much cheaper now from Amazon , I see $ 95 at newegg . anyway as for the review ... mmh not that accurate compare to my old gp 660 ! it already miss twice since my usage : -lrb- miss it when go to twin peak , sf we be just in the foot of the hill ! then when go home it ask I to go to Central express than to 101 S. so weird ! beware ! just buy the higher model ... +744 GPS POS 4 I love this product with the exception of low resolution screen and why on earth be the keyboard abcdefg ... instead of qwerty ? this be very strange and uncomfortable . this be a blunder by Garmin which I hope will be correct . the screen size be awesome and the response time be fast except in cloudy weather and downtown around tall building . UPDATE : Garmin issue a update with the qwerty keyboard option . AWSOME ! I have have some delay find satellite even on clear day so my rating stay at 4 star . +70 GPS NEG 1 I be sure that this be a great product , but I never receive the shipment from Amazon . when I do not receive the USPS shipment , I call Amazon and they promise to send another Garmin . then , they inform I that the product be out of stock , so they would have to refund my money . I still do not have a Garmin , so I will be buy it elsewhere . +203 GPS POS 5 the TomTom GPS work great . the only problem I have notice be that the map software be out of date . buy the map upgrade do not do any better in direction . I would still buy this item over other gp manufactor . +666 GPS POS 5 buy it for my wife to use in she business . very easy to setup and use . I recommend it highly . +390 GPS POS 4 I buy this for my dh . he like the screen size and the lifetime map update . we would highly recommend they product . +417 GPS POS 5 I do so much research before buy this product and see a couple of negative review , but I think they must have just have a defective product because mine be wonderful . it be the first navigation system I have ever own and would definitely buy from Mio again . the feature be great , the wide selection of map color option be great , and the volume be appropriate . my only disappointed moment be when I realize that I would have to buy a separate memory card to save MY POI and stuff . but since I get such a great deal on it -lrb- $ 175 -rrb- , I can still afford to buy a memory card ! +623 GPS POS 4 the only thing lack in this item be something that secure the GPS unit inside of the case like a netted pocket or elastic band . otherwise it be a great value for you money & great for travel ! +433 GPS POS 5 I receive this as a gift and it be everything that I need . I use it everyday for my commute and the traffic update have save I many time ! the lane assist be another feature I think be just stellar ! more then once I would have make the wrong lane choice with my old Garmin , but the lane assist save the day . there be some hole in the traffic update coverage that I find on a recent road trip , but I be able to work around those with no issue . I know this be a older model now , but if you be interested in try a Garmin , I would get this one all over again ! +213 GPS POS 5 this be such a awesome tool and it even work overseas !!! I have track a few mile on it and it work like a champ . i buy the nike + a while back and it be not cut it not enough information and i lose the watch part of it . the 110 have a heart rate monitor and it track you complete run from speed , heart rate , distance , and elevation . this be the tool you need to improve you game !!! +6 GPS POS 5 this navigation system work amazingly well . I use it to find my way from Maryland to Montreal . there be several different highway to navigate and Streetpilot be flawless in get I into the correct lane to make the change . drive around Montreal be much easier and I especially appreciate hear the correct pronunciation of the Streets in French . you will love the Streetpilot . +735 GPS NEG 1 im very confused by this product . I first charge it for 24 hr , per instruction . then plug it into my ipad . I do download the app that it suggest . but what can you do ? altitude , speed , the Compass be a little off , ... im just scratch my head try to think what can this do . so last week I have go on a road trip . while sit in the back seat , I plug the GPS into my ipad , and I say to myself , let I see if map work . sure , it work with map , but you have to make sure you have a map that be displayable because once you turn wifus off , you on you own . solution : if this gp work with a pre map program , then this would be 100 % worth it . im still scratch my head ... what to do with it ? its currently sit on my night stand . overall , not recommend consider there be no pre load map for this gp to go by . any feedback on what to use this device with would be greatly apprecait . +641 GPS NEU 3 I buy a Magellan Roadmate 700 last weekend and return it today . 1 . it automatically shut down 10 to 15 minute in both of my car -lrb- 2002 and 2004 car -rrb- . this problem become severe if I use a\/c on the road . I would rather to believe that be a defect instead of my car battery problem . 2 . this unit lose signal often in both Boston city and rural area . the manuver list become the only way to navigate at that time . 3 . because there be a lot small road in Boston area , I have to look at the screen from time to time to see which exact road I need turn to . Hope the voice guide can tell I the road name I be go to turn to . so that I can pay more attention on the road . the good thing be it be very easy to use . the windshield be very reliable . I be go to see if Garmin 2620 can work better than this . Update 05\/17\/2005 : Got & test Garmin 2620 yesterday . overall , I feel it be better than Magellan 700 . and I will keep Garmin 2620 . Garmin 2620 also lose signal in my car sometimes in Boston area . after press the speak button to repeat the instruction , it be very easy for I to find the destination . maybe it be better to get a external antenna . it be very easy for I to find all my favorit restaurant with 20 mile from my home . if I choose to avoid those busy road , it only take 5 to 10 seconds to recalculate a new route for I . it be relativly difficult to use compare with magelan 700 . but less than 20 minute , you will know how to use it . the problem be it even can not find my home address . and I have to use my neighbor 's address as my home address . multi-user option in Magellan be very good feature . +117 GPS POS 5 confortable and easy to use . quick satelite connection . look big but be very light wheight and its size help datum visualization . buy yours !!! +372 GPS POS 5 this product work great . it be not too bulky and get great reception . the only thing be that it do not get satelite when you be indoors but that be expect unless you need drive direction from you garage to you living room . the touch screen be great and the button be large enough to touch while drive . the speakers\/voice be loud and clear . the feature be great and the poi be pretty extensive . searching for the poi take roughly a minute or two but they be good enough . you can always update you maps\/pois for free once you have register the product . overall , I really think this be a good decision . +770 GPS POS 5 I get this as a gift for my girlfriend who be old GPS die . this one update on the computer and after that it be ready to go . it give live traffic and good suggestion as to different route to take if the traffic get too heavy . I like the feature of how long to reach you destination , and the map cover all area that some of my other gp device do not . +271 GPS POS 4 buy it as a gift to my husband he love it . no complaint after use it several time other then sometimes it lose sattelite during he run and it cause it to act a little whacky for a few minute . +212 GPS POS 4 love the large screen , I can read it without read glass , I can not even see my cell phone . if I have it to do over I would by the 1490t for the traffic and blue tooth . +567 GPS POS 5 I be worry about my Garmin GPS screen get scratch when not in use . I find this case on Amazon and think it might be just the thing I need . I fall in love with it . now the screen be protect and no one can see it in my car . great product for those large screen . +679 GPS POS 4 we just get back from a two week road trip and 95 % of the time I really like the Garmin 2460 LMT . it have a nice interface with the lane you need to be in and the general direction in a purple color . it also show the speed limit and the speed you be go . another nicer feature be that it city , it automatically show a 2nd screen which show a graphic representation of what the highway should look like and which lane you need to be in . some of the thing I do not like be that at time it use different name than what you see on the highway . it also do not have common sense at time . if you go right when you should have go left , it will take you a circuitious route to try and get back on course , when the smart thing be to just turn around and go back the opposite way . sometimes it also seem to be give contrary information or even wrong information . one restaurant be suppose to be on the left side , when it actaully be on the right side . the traffic warning do not help at all , but we do not get the advertising that some people get . in New York , as be inch we way across the Geroge Washington bridge there be no traffic warning at all . in other place we would get warning , but there be no problem with traffic . all together we like this Garmin , but use common sense when Garmin start to give you stupid advice . +856 GPS POS 5 basically I look at several gp unit and this one catch my eye . I have have it now for a week and have to say I love it . route on it be excellent it actually show I a faster way to get home lol . the only thing that I find wrong with it be in the button on the side . handle the unit will press the button so watch that . I havent use the voice recogntion on it yet because of no real need . I also havent use the bluetooth for the phone since my car have that already . as a gp I be happy with it . +797 GPS POS 5 have upgrade from we old Garmin nuvus this Model be awesome !!! I buy this for my boyfriend for Valentine 's day and now I want one LOL . the large screen be great , the voice command need some work however give simple command it do just fine . overall I be very happy with this Garmin . +738 GPS POS 4 I like this datum logger - it have a very solid feel to it , and the connectivity option be good . it do exactly what I buy it for . +884 GPS POS 5 purchase this gizmo for my laptop chart software , the gp work very well , acquire signal fast and accurate . I could not make it work with my software but believe be a glitch with it and not the gp . however not all be lose as I can still chart the current position on the chart by just transfer manually the lat and long value . I think be a amazing little wonder and with a appropriate electronic laptop base chart software can easily replace the more expensive package offer for nautical use . +710 GPS POS 5 I expect to spend a entire evening with a manual when this pocket-sized gp arrive at my door . I be out the door and use it in minute . so simple even I can do it . +473 GPS POS 5 receive promptly and item be package well . great to do business with . thank you . +314 GPS POS 5 buy this for my husband , and now go place be no longer a concern . we would get direction from either a person or mapquest and they might not be accurate and get lose be frustrating . this take all of the worry out of travel . I have already recommend this to my family and friend . never leave home without it . +699 GPS POS 5 I have own the Nuvi 350 for about a month and love it . I live in a rural area and have only find one diagonal intersection where it get confuse for a split second . the street annunciation be a must . product seem very well build . due to the timing of when I buy it , upon register it I automatically get upgrade to the 2009 map file -lrb- that be a $ 60 - $ 70 value -rrb- . once you get one search the internet for waypoint and other extra -lrb- the Garmin website will help you find they -rrb- . I receive as a gift and wonder how much I would use it for daily travel . I have it power up even when I be travel known road . with the arrival time feature , it be nice to know when you be expect to arrive . I would recommend the Garmin nuvus line of product to anyone . they be very easy to operate . +898 GPS NEG 2 the GPS unit be impressive , but mine keep drop the satellite signal and recalculate to a different destination . I try download the latest software from they site , but it do not fix the problem . Amazon be replace the unit and I will see if the new one work correctly . +211 GPS POS 4 . . as should be obvious , know exactly where you be be equally as important as know exactly where you need to be . as a Sonet Technician , I purchase this unit to help find communication site in obscure , often desolate area of the eastern US . in the past , I have to rely upon either someone whom have never actually be there and use a web-based mapping site to issue turn-by-turn direction , or people recall the location from memory , `` I think you turn at , then look for the concrete cow on the left which mean you just pass the turn so go back and turn right . '' neither be very accurate , so I begin use my laptop and try out a number of mapping program . I settle on m 's Streets & Trips 2000 due to the ease with which I could open a window of save point , double click on the one I need and find they automatically enter as waypoint -lrb- a feature inexplicably remove from subsequent release -rrb- . use a mapping program alone work fairly well , but the flaw be that once I miss a turn -- most often in the dead of night -- I have to determine where I be in order to find my way back to the plot course . terribly frustrating and confusing to be look for route 773 and be surround by route 377 , 737 , 337 , etc. . . this be a perfect application of a GPS unit as it can save literally dozen of hour per year of time lose to backtrack . my decision to purchase the Magellan brand come of a friend 's recommendation of a map 330 and of distil fact from diatribe on number of gps-related bbss . instead of explore the merit -lrb- or lack thereof -rrb- of one mfgr \ model over another , these discussion typically degenerate into little more than flame war . anyway ... I purchase a Magellan Meridian platinum at the local CompUSA for considerably more than I would have pay have I order it from Amazon . CompUSA stock neither the vehicle mount bracket nor the data\/power cable accessory on the day i purchase the unit . when I first power up the unit , I be indoors and quite disappointed that I get no satellite lock whatsoever . however , it quickly find my location once I step outside and have a unobstructed view of the sky . I discover that the unit work less than perfectly unless hold vertically and that even a single finger place over the antenna section substantially degrade reception . I enter into m Streets & Trips 2002 -lrb- st2k2 -rrb- the lat-long location datum for the 14 site we need to visit between Atlanta and Jax , fl . use the include datum cable , I connect the Meridian platinum to the laptop , then run the GPS setup . I be on the road in minute . find the site be a piece of cake for the most part , though it do take a while to get use to the update lag time . st2k2 's help file explain that the software poll the GPS only every 15 seconds , mathematically account for what I find to be a average of nearly 1\/3 mile error in position . from then on , I have the driver slow down 1\/2 mile before each turn . when we do miss turn thereafter , it be only because st2k2 's map be not entirely accurate -lrb- particularly around Athens , GA -rrb- . i find myself constantly check the battery power display and wish I have the data\/power cable . be forwarn that the Meridian platinum eat battery for lunch . I burn four per day -lrb- two set -rrb- over a four day period , average only slightly more than a halflife of what the documentation state ; I get no more than about eight hour from a fresh set of high quality alkaline . certainly the ability to turn off the unit 's display would dramatically increase battery life . I find no reference to do such in the . pdf manual . this be a oversight in my opinion , but undoubtedly can be correct in a software update from Magellan . because the mount bracket be not available at the time I make my purchase , I have to leave the Meridian on the dashboard . from this arise a number of problem . the gp be occasionally power down when bump in rough backroad cause it to bounce around and depress the power button . also , it frequently lose satellite lock due in part to such jostle , but more to the fact that it be impossible to have a unobstructed view of the sky inside the cab of a large truck and that it can not be hold vertically without the mount bracket . another consequence of be on the dash be that the unit become \* extremely \* hot when expose to direct sunlight . so hot , in fact , I become concerned that such tremendous heat might be damaging . while it seem no less the worse for wear , I would rather it not get that hot in the first place . I believe the simplest solution to these problem be not a mount bracket , but a external antenna -- the expensive unit can then sit safely tuck out of harm 's way . unfortunately , the Meridian line do not provide for the direct connection of a external antenna , and this alone might be reason enough to warrant a return for refund . I find it tremendously annoy that the designer would disallow such a option . i buy a unit much more capable than I actually need or will ever use , so my advice to those new to gpss be that you take you time and fully investigate the function you need , carefully research the function that several different vendor and they unit provide , then , once you have decide on what you want , stop and research a little more . if at all possible , borrow a friend 's or rent a number of different model for a few day . I can not knock the Meridian platinum because it have more feature than I 'll ever use , and I be certain backpacker and geocacher will love this thing , but the lack of a external antenna port must be take into account . this can not be overstate : if the primary use of you gp receiver will be inside a vehicle , look for something else . i award the Magellan Meridian platinum 4 of 5 star . pro : Works well , seem quite rugged , have numerous cool feature , and will give owner obvious brag rights . con : lack external antenna capability , a bit spendy , and eat battery like M&M; s. +435 GPS POS 5 I love my Garmin 305 ! I be not sure I would care about the Heart Rate Monitor but after a month of use I be so into it . I only wish the `` training center '' software would be update and that it be easier to edit . +943 GPS NEG 2 I use this exclusively for road cycling . first the good : it do amazing thing . it track everything faster and more completely than you can with a spreadsheet . there be feature I would like to see but I be hope the improvement can come with future softare and firmware download . the output be better than you can imagine . the graph be really informative . I find myself over analyze my ride . the free -lrb- for now -rrb- link with motion base software allow you to see you ride superimpose onto Google Earth image . wow ! now the bad : the unit freeze up on I third time I use it . none of the reset work so the help line -lrb- only open during business hour -rrb- suggest I let the battery drain . 14 hour later the unit do function correctly . 3 day later the unit lose the ability to find satelite . this time the help desk be no help at all and suggest I either return it or send it for repair . the estimate turn around time to be 10 day . they should handle repair like Verizon and send a new unit fedex and have you return the broken one . Amazon.com do not have the same price so I send it to Garmin for repair . in the meantime I purchase a new one locally and I 'll return it when I receive the repair unit . guess what . 1st day out the hr monitor work only intermitently . +604 GPS NEG 1 I have the Garmin Nuvi 350 device and order this mount think it would work with my device base on the Amazon description of the product . the first time I order this I receive without the arm that attach to the GPS unit . I return it and have a replacement ship . the replacement come with the same problem ... only contain the bean bag base portion and again no arm . apparently , this be for some other unit because it do not work as it be ship . I will attempt to find this somewhere else . fool I once ... shame on you ! fool I twice ... shame on I ! +858 GPS POS 4 when the item work it be great . I have have problem from the first . screen go off . part of picture not there . after 2 hour it just go out . it do not like heat . if you get one without problem it work great . if you follow what it say to go you will not get lose . it do sometime go to place in some different way then I would go . Garmin have state they would fix or replace it if what they tell I to fix it do not work . I would buy again maybe . I have hear of greater problem with other that be not Garmin . +185 GPS POS 5 buy this camera for we family trip to Atlantis - work awesome ! we 8 & 9 year old have no problem use it . Video tape themselves go down all the water slide and the rapid . great video and picture take underwater at the beach , pool , and feed the sting ray . would not recommend as you primary camera though because it do hesitate a little before it take the picture so you may miss a fast move shot +815 GPS POS 5 it be a excelent piece of equipment ; handy and easy to use . I drop it a couple of time with no consecuence . problem : the battery wear out too fast : no more than 5 or 6 hour of continue use , and the compass do not work unless you move . overall : excelent +195 GPS POS 5 purchase the c330 , and it arrive the day before we trip to so . Florida to visit the grandkid . it only get lose once in Alabama on SR-76 , but I believe that problem have be correct in the software upgrade that be free from the Garmin site . the product be better than I think , and be perfect . visibility be just fine in bright daylight , and it be a Godsend at night . every little twist in the road appear on the screen . it switch automatically to nighttime mode , and back to day operation . Worth every penny ! +914 GPS POS 5 the Garmin nuvi 1450 GPS work great . the direction be clear and easy to follow . we use the index of attraction while on vacation and the unit be easy to program and very user friendly . the screen be large enough to see the map . Garmin nuvi 1450 5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator +608 GPS POS 5 after be show how to use this watch by a friend who have the same one , it be so easy to use . I like simple electronics for timing and distance so this be perfect for I . after a little while , I do not notice how large this watch be . do lot of research and this be the best run watch for the feature and price accord to hundred of review - even compare to newer model . great value . +975 GPS POS 5 the Garmin nuvus 350 be the best gp system in its class that you can buy . Amazon be have a incredible sale when I buy mine about 6 week ago . I do not necessarily need the mp3 player built-in , but hey , it be only $ 20 more than the next step down of the Garmin GPS system which do the same as the 350 . I do not travel a lot , but it be very handy when I go out to Dallas to see my brother . I want to go to a art museum after my flight land . I pick up my rental car , punch in the address and voilum ! no problem . I really enjoy the feature that help you find restaurant , gas station , etc. . it find we a great coffee bar when we go to a town we have never be in . it give we the name , address and phone number as well . the great thing about the 350 be that it speak the street name . if you can afford it , get this feature . it be a lot better than try to decide at a major highway intersection which of the 3 road that merge to the leave to take . I be very pleased with my purchase . Birmingham , AL +143 GPS POS 4 pro : this have be a great device ! I have use it every week for a little over 2 year . this device be a great training tool . it be very convenient to head out for a run -lrb- work with a bike also -rrb- and have instant feed back on current heart rate , average heart rate , pace -lrb- cadence on a bike if you have the adapter -rrb- , average pace -lrb- cadence -rrb- , distance and time . I can run when I travel , and I do not need to pre-select my route ! if I want to run 10 mile , I head out and run until it tell I I have travel 5 mile and then follow the same route back . there be even a mapping feature that you can follow you route back , if you feel like you be lose . it come with software that you can install on you pc and see how you have improve , both in heart rate , pace and distance . I use it to know when it be time to replace my shoe . I buy new shoe every 300 mile , and with the software I know exactly when I have run 300 mile . if this device be to quit work tomorrow I would head right out the door and buy another . con -lrb- only one I can come up with -rrb- the heart rate strap , be the only thing I have ever have issue with . I have read many forum and several review , and it seem many folk have have the same issue . if you start get erroneous reading with you heart rate , first replace the battery , and or check the copper connection inside the battery compartment . simply bend they out a little to hug the battery tighter will correct the issue . if this do not work , you can buy a new Heart Rate strap . I have use the Garmin Premium Heart Rate Monitor -lrb- Soft Strap -rrb- , which be more comfortable to wear , but only work for about 2 month . I try all my battery trick to no avail . I purchase the Garmin Heart Rate Monitor , same as the origanl monitor that come with the device , and it be work just like the original . I expect I will be replace it , in a year or so . that seem to be the lifespan of the strap , base on personal experience and other review . bottom-line , for the price and what this device offer , I would recommend this device to anyone . -lrb- I would have give 5 star if , it be not for the hr strap issue -rrb- +487 GPS POS 4 excellent product for a amazing price . two year ago , I buy a refurb 2610 for over $ 200 and think it be a wonderful deal . this be a steal . the 2720 have the same housing as the 2610 but they be different in many way . read the manual because the menu be not as intuitive as you may think . I 'll reward you , +685 GPS POS 5 this be a great bicycle computer for road bike training and general ride . have many parameter it monitor in real time . I especially like the heart rate monitor function -lrb- current hr , hr Zone , HR Alarms , and more -rrb- , plus all the usual bicycle paramter such as speed and cadence include each of they varient . but my favorite be all the gp function -lrb- include upload you ride route to Garmin Training Center software and\/or to MapMyRide.com -rrb- and I really like the % Grade , Elevation , and climb paramter . Works very well here in the foothill of Boulder Colorado area . highly RECOMENDED !!!!! +165 GPS POS 5 someone do I a real favor by keep my old gp when I lose it on the course . I sit for day wait for the course to call with the wonderful news that it have be find ... do not happen . I start look at the other gp ad and find this system . wow , now I own the simplest system out there and with great accuracy and ease of operation . Ladies this one be great ... go buy it now and enjoy the envy of the other when they ask for the correct yardage on you next round ! +291 GPS POS 4 Works as advertise . do what it be suppose to do . can not beat the price . it only cost I 1 cent plus a couple dollar shipping . it protect my Garmin GPS when I be not use it . +107 GPS POS 4 First of all , I do like this tablet . it be not a flawless , polished piece of technology , but it be pretty good for the money . if you want a flawless tablet experience , spend $ 700 on the iPad . I love that this have usb port and two sd card slot . the ethernet be also nice since large download , like gp offline map , can take a long time over the wireless . I use this to check my email and surf the internet when I be sit in bed or out and about . its much lighter than any netbook which would have be my other choice . some note on my experience so far . the con : - get a screen protector , the plastic scratch easily . I find some that be make for it on ebay , search for `` superpad '' -lrb- it be the same thing -rrb- - sluggish interface response , you can find some youtube video float around , that be not the video be choppy it be the interface , use you finger nail or built-in stylus for best touch result - `` cheap '' feel , plastic can be bent out of shape , etc. . - visible screen flicker when hold in vertical position - speaker be not very good at all , any kind of noise in the room make they basically in-audible - display be not visible at all in sunlight , even on brightest setting . - gp require external antenna , some have complain about gp lock on time , I live in the northeast and it do it by the time I can exit the gp setting and get the GPS test program running . - shipping do take awhile , but be well package and ship right away , its just come from China . - I have lock this up once or twice , but its hard to say if it be a android app , or the OS it be self . the pro : - cheap ! - 2 sd card slot that support 32 gb - 2 usb port , the case I find on ebay have a small usb keyboard build in which be awesome when typing a email on the road - ethernet port for when there be no wifus - lot of app in android market place . - some folk have be successful flash this with Ubuntu Linux which I would love to do , but if you mess it up you have a odd shaped paper weight . +562 GPS NEG 1 hus all , i live in Massachusetts -lrb- Framingham -rrb- . at first i use the nuvus , everything be Ok . I could choose between faster time or shorter distance . and many great feature . but when i go to downtown Boston ... problem occur . Nuvi could not read small road and detour . and the map be not a detail map . I be hope that i do not get lose again in downtown ... but then i be wrong . and then the other day , i be with my friend look for bertuccus 's in newton area ... i use nuvus to find bertuccus 's in newton , we be happy , but then we be disappointed again . Nuvi bring we nowhere near bertuccus 's at all . Arrgghh !!! right now , i be use google map and mapquest . \* sigh ... i hate u nuvi . +610 GPS POS 4 I know many of we be go crazy try to figure out which of the latest trucker gp unit be the best value . I have it down to two for many reason . I will go into why in another review when I make my final decision . no one have write anything -lrb- that be no user -rrb- about the Rand McNally tnd-710 . but I will because I just order it . I have be use this one -lrb- the Garmin dezl-560 lmt -rrb- lmt just mean include free lifetime map and traffic update . the lt will cost you to update the numap -lrb- that the mapping co -rrb- after 60 day from purchase . its worth get the LMT model for the lifetime update of map . do not get that confuse with software update to fix glitch ... they be always free . now about the lifetime traffic . well the receiver it come with that be build into the power cable be free because it throw up advertisement at you now and then . I hate advertisement ! I call Garmin which have excellent support as do rm and they say the non-ad power -lrb- the traffic receiver be build into the power cable -rrb- cable will cost a extra $ 120.00 and if you want premium traffic and construction service add $ 49.00 to that . WOW the only thing I can say good about that be its a one time fee . now to add traffic and speed camera update that $ 25.00 per year . let add this up . I pay $ 459.00 for the unit -lrb- 560lmt -rrb- on Amazon . $ 70.00 for accessory -lrb- Micro sd , Case , Windshield mount , Dash mount -rrb- $ 170.00 for traffic receiver power cord with prem software and $ 25.00 for the first year of camera warning . that $ 724.00 all together if you want all the bell and whistle as I always do . by the way all that ado about get add-free traffic ... it suck anyway . the traffic predictably be poor at best . just turn it off so you do not see the advertisement . save the $ 170.00 . maybe it will get better . its a 3rd part co so its hard to say . rm -lrb- Rand McNally -rrb- say it will offer a similar traffic receiver and service in June when there external antenna , case and other accessory come out . right now rm only offer map update for one year so its hard to say what the end cost of this unit will be . I want the best ! ... so I be spend alot to find out . DieselBoss be the only retailer I could find that be take the time to compare these two unit . check it out . http:\/\/www.dieselboss.com\/truck_gps_review_features.htm . the info be still come in about the garmin but I agree with what they say about the Garmin so far . . I buy the Garmin here on Amazon ... best price . I have own or use 5 other gpss to date . Garmin dezl 560lmt -lrb- same as lt but no lifetime traffic -rrb- pro ... \* start , route and re-route fast 10-30sec , no lockup yet \* -lrb- great route so far ... this be the most important feature about any TRUCK GPS . -rrb- \* show the post truck speed of most road next to you speed that turn red when you go over . \* -lrb- Garmin have a unbelievable database -rrb- every address I enter it have . this be not true of Google or even my co-pilot -lrb- pc-miler -rrb- . \* loud Speaker . \* quick access to brightness control . Easy snap-in mount -lrb- no usb plug to plug in every time which can break -rrb- \* Lane asst ... yea ... love that . \* lot of fun stuff and voice you can add from the garmin and 3rd party website . con ... \* 5 '' I want 7 '' . \* do not show the name of cross street as you pass they . \* you can not just pan & zoom on the nav map . you have to go to a special map screen . \* ETA do not adjust or work well at all ... but its so bad i be sure they will fix the software soon . my co-pilot ETA work perfectly . \* you can not show ETA and MTD -lrb- mile to destination -rrb- at the same time . Booo ... I want both ! . \* the graphic could be better . co-pilot be Sweet look . sound like I be work up Co-Pilot ... lol ... I be not . poor poor Truck map almost every time with Co-Pilot ... DON `` t buy . over View ... the hardware be rock solid , no freeze here and it re-route you fast if you miss a turn but I wish they have a 7 ' . \* the Software be very good for truck mapping and address thanks to garmin extensive datum base but need improvement on the stuff that not as important but convenient . I will update this as I learn , use and remember more . go on 3 day trip tomorrow . md-in-nj-dc-md let see what Rand McNally bring to the table with the tnd710 . I can not wait to get it . +46 GPS POS 5 the Garmin 305 have be a excellent enhancement to my workout . I use it for run and biking and i can not wait to take it on my next ski trip this winter . +90 GPS POS 4 Works like a charm . traffic option be nice , help I choose my freeway on the way home daily and no subscription require . it be pricey compare to other , but be a big improvement from my 4 year old Magellan : smaller , have a battery , slightly larger screen , and clearer direction . I have not try blue-tooth , as my car have that build in . no regret . +295 GPS NEG 2 I purchase a Garmin Nuvi 2460 GPS and buy this case for protection . I be not impress with this case as it be very loose fitting ; I could easily place two gp receiver in the case . there be some padding in the case , but because of the loose fit and the thin amount of padding I would not count on this offering much protection from drop . it be useful for store the GPS in a backpack as it do protect the gp from get scratch up from other item in the backpack . +734 GPS POS 4 I have BEEN USING the STREETPILOT 7200 for over a month now and COULD NOT be happier . the ONLY thing I would like to see THEM CHANGE be the ac power cord , it be attached to the unit . HOWEVEER IT 's no BIG DEAL . it do EVERYTHING THEY say it would and even more than I expect . once you have used this , you will never leave HOME WITHOUT IT . the GREATEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD . the screen be LARGE and EASY to READ and USE . if you be serious about a gp . this one be a no breainer . +251 GPS POS 5 I recently buy a little sport car for jaunt through the countryside with my wife . the one thing it do not have be a compass . know that we would be go to unknown place and area , and have have compass build in to we other vehicle , I be aware of the help the compass could give on back road when you be try to find a road or a place . the aftermarket compass all seem to be quirky at best and completely wrong at worst -lrb- digital or otherwise -rrb- . initially I buy a -lrb- ... -rrb- bubble Bell compass -lrb- suction mount -rrb- . it work -lrb- or do not work -rrb- as mention . so I start do research on the internet . I run across the Garmin StreetPilot c330 during my search . -lrb- ... -rrb- . after read the first 10 review , without totally know what I would be get , I decide to order the c330 -lrb- -lrb- ... -rrb- -rrb- from Amazon . still research since I have pick the SuperSaver freight and have a few day before shipment , I find the Garmin website which explain both the c330 and the c340 . I find that the c340 have many of the feature the $ 1000.00 unit have . it have a better map datum base , it tell user the name of the street and it be also capable -lrb- although I will not be use the feature -rrb- of receive traffic datum signal -lrb- with a plug-in adapter and a yearly subscription -rrb- . -lrb- ... -rrb- . I figure that I would try it out and if it do not at least solve the compass problem , I would return the unit to Amazon . so I cancel the order for the c330 and order the c340 , this time pay the $ 6.00 shipping to get it sooner . in the meantime , I download the c340 owner manual -lrb- http:\/\/www.garmin.com\/products\/manual.jsp?product=010-00401-20 -rrb- and quick reference guide to study before it arrive . it look a little too simple to believe it would actually work . -lrb- P.S. Download the manual , because the c340 only come with a Quick Reference Guide ; no manual -rrb- . well , yesterday the c340 show up . it cam in a large enough box to concern I , but that be only to protect it during shipping . once I open the box , I find a sealed package -lrb- envelope -rrb- that say OPEN ME FIRST -rrb- , the windshield mount bracket and the power cord -lrb- 12v -rrb- . I notice right away the on the back of the OPEN ME FIRST envelope it state if THIS PACKAGE be open , the itme be NOT RETURNABLE OTHER THAN for DEFECT . be a old and irritated software buyer , this do not impress I very much . I figure I would return it somehow if it do not stack up . I open the envelope and take out the CD and the usb cable . the direction say to install the CD and have you c340 with the USBN cable ready to plug into you computer . I put the CD in and after a couple of menu screen , the program instruct I to plug in the unit to the computer . then it go through the registration process . it say `` congratulation '' and the program end , have install the usb driver for the c340 on my computer . Garmin have what they call a `` pous loader '' program -lrb- point of interest -rrb- , which you have to download from the Garmin website . I have not find any of these on they website . evidently the usb driver be there for future map update , etc. . in ANY case , I finish with the computer and begin to play with the c340 . I find that I only need to refer to the Owners Manual once or twice . the c340 be incredibly user friendly and allow you to play with it in the house -lrb- it come with charge battery ; which by the way recharge in the car -rrb- . the touch screen be super , clear and quick . I be able to go through a lot of the procedure list in the reference guide with the satellite hookup -lrb- the c340 do that once you get outside -rrb- . so , today be the big day for test the unit . I just have my truck work on and want to test the cruise control . I decide to go to a know location first . when I search for store , the c340 come up with the exact Outlet mall I be go to . once on the screen you just press `` go '' . the unit show you the 2 or 3 dimensional map -lrb- I prefer the 2d map -rrb- and start talk to you . I select English-Jill for the voice since it supposedly speak the name best . I have choose `` shortest route '' instead of `` fastest route '' -lrb- the 2 option the c340 give you -rrb- . without do anything else I intentionally follow `` she '' direction to see how accurate the c340 would be . frankly , I be impressed and amaze . the unit be flawless in get I there -lrb- @ 50 mile -rrb- , even tell I the correct name for road I have be on hundred of time and do not know . once we get to the Outlet mall in good shape , I decide to go to a amish restaurant way out in the country -lrb- 50 mile of small backroad -rrb- . the Garmin c340 do not have the exact place in storage , but it allow you to type in a city and I find a place that be nearby . I figure that if I make it to the actual restaurant , I would use the `` save favorite '' button to put it in the c340 memory . then in the future I would be able to get there from anywhere . this be a super feature of at least the c340 and probably the c330 . when you be at a place that you will want to go to later it be a simple task to save the location , and then the c340 will take you there from anywhere . in any case , I follow the direction the c340 give I and soon we be travel on little country road I have never be on . it show you compass head as you drive , and we be head in approximately the right direction and have all day , so I let the c340 run the show . it show you speed and the estimate time of arrival . it tell I from the beginning that we have about 1 1\/2 hour to drive to get to the restaurant . needless to say , we arrive at the location I have pick -lrb- which be about 1\/2 mile from the restaurant -rrb- in just about that much time . the 2 time I get off track because the road be not marked very well , the c340 recalculate the trip and give I direction to get back on track with a new estimate time of arrival . the unit have a `` detour '' function on it , but I have not find it necessary yet . if you just go another way , the c340 initially try to get you back on track , and then give up and recalculate a new set of direction from you current location to the destination . once at the restaurant , I save the location for future use . now I be ready to go home . before I leave the house , I have program -lrb- not really `` program '' ; its about a 2 step button push -rrb- my HOME . now I just push `` where to '' ; `` Home '' and we be on we way . since I have travel this route many time , I decide to go my regular way -lrb- I be get tired -rrb- , and make the c340 correct any difference . on the way back , there be two instance of `` difference '' . both involve small jog that probably be `` shorter '' by a few foot . I ignore the instruction and within seconds the c340 have make the adjustment to get we back on track . the c340 use almost the EXACT route we always use to get we home . it be flawless . after get home , I decide to go to the store . rather than programming something in , which I -lrb- a -rrb- do not need direction to ; and -lrb- b -rrb- would not save anyway , I just decide to push `` Browse Map '' . this bring up a map show my exact location , compass head and speed . I do lose the satellite for about 30 seconds during this ride -lrb- it show on the screen which stop move also -rrb- . I turn the c340 off and then on , and it find the satellite . I continue on . once do at the store , I push `` Home '' and it give I direction right to my house again . I think enough of this c340 , that I buy another windshield mount and a ac adapter for it -lrb- I find they on ebay -rrb- . I have see complaint for the Garmin case that Amazon sell that it be not big enough . I feel it be too big . I just want a case to contain the main head of theunit , since you do not want to leave it in the windshield when you be out of the car and I want it protect . I find a Sony LCS-CSD Soft Carry Cas for a Cybershot camera that fit the head perfectly -lrb- -lrb- ... -rrb- -rrb- at Staples . so far in the 2 day that I have own this unit , I feel that it work great , be simple to operate and I think it be money well spend . it should really be useful this summer for we country road trip . my wife be impress with this gp also . I may get she one for Mother 's day . I have list below information from the Garmin website . you should visit they website and download the manual if you be interested in this gp . one world for the c340 : SUPER Information from the Garmin website -lrb- http:\/\/www.garmin.com\/mobile\/products.html#automotive -rrb- as of 3\/10\/2006 the StreetPilot `` c-series '' gp navigator feature a simple touchscreen interface , with automatic route calculation to any destination and turn-by-turn voice-prompted direction along the way . select a destination be straightforward and require only a limited amount of input from the user . plus , the StreetPilot c320 and StreetPilot c330 allow you to choose between a three-dimensional navigation view or the more traditional `` bird 's eye '' overhead view . for the ultimate out-of-the-box convenience , the StreetPilot c330 come preprogram with highly detail MapSource City Select street datum . the database feature nearly six million point of interest-including hotel , restaurant , gas station , atm , and attraction . -lrb- the c320 come with a 128 mb sd card and a MapSource City Select cd-rom for datum transfer from a pc via a usb connection . -rrb- as a add benefit , you can now import customize point of interest with the help of Garmin 's free pous loader software . the possibility be endless - upload safety camera or school zone , and you will receive a warning if you be travel too fast . in addition , a optional proximity-alert feature notify you of upcome custom poi . the centerpiece of both unit be a bright , 3.5-inch diagonal , 16-bit color display that make navigation a snap . the StreetPilot c330 feature dual integrate speaker for high-quality voice prompt , and a internal lithium-ion battery for out-of-car route planning . the new StreetPilot c-series boast distinctive and sleek styling-the only button be a rotary volume knob and a on\/off switch . the device be secure by a suction-mount cradle that fasten to the windshield for easy portability between vehicle . user can customize they unit 's appearance with a array of color faceplate -lrb- sell separately -rrb- .

Garmin part number : 010-00401-20 -lrb- ... -rrb- +867 GPS POS 5 this be a nice item for the price . make a great back up power cable . I find this not really necessary . i buy it because of some rather picky reviewer say the cable that come with the 1490 LMT be bulky . it be not bulky in my Silverado Pickup . not sorry I buy it but be not necessary . +302 GPS POS 5 after look at the consumer report website , this TomTom one GPS model be consider to be the best value . so I go ahead and purchase this model . and I be glad I do !!! it be very easy to use and very accurate . I think it would be hard to specify a drive to location ... but to my surprise it be so simple . it be a lot easier and faster than go out to a google . map or mapquest . the drive direction be very accurate . I could not trick the system at all . all the feature you get be very helpful ... such as estimate arrival time , mile before next turn , etc. . I really like that it show where gas station and other poi be located . when i be drive , my girlfriend have to use the rest room . the TomTom show I where the next gas station be ... i be glad it do , because I never even know that this gas station exist because it be hide by tall tree . plus the screen be nice and big . +118 GPS NEU 3 I own a Garmin Quest , which I dearly love , but the screen be too tiny for my eye , the map capacity be limit , and it do not speak street name . the 1350t be easy to use , the screen be easy to read and address input be great . it be fast to boot and accurate . I install update map and software in a breeze . but there be several thing to be desire . first , the traffic . it be not the unit 's fault if the information be not accurate , but it try to completely re-route a 300 mile trip because it show a severe delay 100 mile down the road . re-routing by take a earlier exit and go a few mile before re-enter the freeway would be so much simpler . the traffic info have be accurate just once in the last month . I think I would have be happier skip the feature and just get a 1350 . second , the owner 's manual be totally inadequate . thank goodness for the faq on the garmin site . the Quest have a totally complete owner 's manual . it be a bad area to cut corner . Third , the recalculation in city traffic if you miss a turn be very slow . you usually be past the recommend turn by the time the new direction come -lrb- at least that be true in Atlanta -rrb- . in summary the basic feature be quite good . but the traffic shortcoming and the slow route recalculation in city traffic keep I from give it more than three star . +24 GPS POS 5 as a frequent traveller and someone interested in specific run goal , -lrb- as oppose to `` just go out for a jog '' -rrb- the Forerunner 305 have be extremely helpful . my wife originally get I the Forerunner 405 BUT it be too small for my wrist . -lrb- the 305 have a larger , alternate wrist strap -rrb- . my wife refer to the 305 as a `` laptop for the wrist '' but it be not heavy or cumbersome - the button be clearly marked and easy to use . the various training workout be helpful and easy to program -lrb- pace \/ distance \/ time \/ interval workout ... -rrb- . I have have no problem with the gp - just remember to turn the unit on when you be outside and ready to run -lrb- to ensure GPS reception -rrb- . aural alert be helpful and there be enough function to check out that can keep you occupy on long run . I have not explore all of the training or navigation function on the 305 but I would venture to say that there be more than the average runner would need to use . +489 GPS POS 4 I have have my c330 for a few day now and here be the pro and con as I see they . BOTTOMLINE : if you want a system that be user friendly straight out of the box , and just want to get from point a to b this be the unit for you . price be start to drop , so check everywhere online before you by . be \* frugle \* about it . pro : - Easy to use , no need to read a manual - great accuracy - recalculate route in seconds -lrb- when you turn off route , want to sight see , or want to avoid traffic -rrb- . - detour function work great in real life traffic jams\/accidents - ton of great pous -lrb- point of interest -rrb- - Voice Directions be crisp and clear - Easy to use mount - no load up map before you go ; just press a few button and you be on you way con : - the onscreen keyboard be a bit small , so typing can be frustrating sometimes . - every once in a while it say you destination be a block earlier than what it really be . - every once in a while it say you destination be on the wrong side of the road -lrb- but if you have two eye , it be not a big deal -rrb- - sometimes the suction cup mount need a little coax to release . - you need to be a real techy to use pous loader -lrb- or even find a pous database in the US -rrb- . if anyone have any tip , please POST IT . +642 GPS POS 4 this be my first GPS , and let I say its great ! easy to read screen , and it come with a cool transflash card , mine be a 64mb not 32 from newegg , spend the couple more buck and get this one ! the turn by turn work on the basemap , but i would like to get the city one , the real con be the basemap suck , they dont show my development that i have live in for 20 year , but it show all the major road , keep this in mind ! +588 GPS NEG 2 I make a choice after my several day research on GPS . however , 1 . size I have a 4-door sedan . this product be too big for sedan 's windshield or dashboard . 2 . battery usage without power less than 30 minute . even though you have a power , sometimes screen be dim . I do not know the reason . 3 . Video input for Backup camera screen although this have a video input , do not try this product for Backup camera screen . professional installer in `` Safe & Sound '' and `` BestBuy '' store installer try to install this with several kind of back-up camera as per the instruction of Magellan customer service . do not waste you time for this . except the above , I do not find critical problem . absolutely , I return this . be careful of restock fee for electronic device . +601 GPS POS 5 awesome charger . charge ipad and iPhone . great low profile design for a 2.1 a charger . I buy one for I . love it so much I then buy one for the wife and my sister . total home run . +657 GPS POS 5 very nice setup , come with ac adapter , car charger and window suction mount . if you do not follow it be direction it recaluclate almost immediately with new one . huge pre-built datum base of gas station , restaurant , hotel etc. . type in any address and it find it . come with entire US build in , so you do not need to upload map to it as you travel to new area . only negative be that it be a little hard to read in direct sunlight and like all similar product it sometimes miss a more direct route . I be very impressed with it . +199 GPS POS 4 this case work very well on the handlebars of my road bicycle or my mountain bike . I dont worry at all about it fall because it be so well shield in this case . the only thing that I can really find wrong with it be that when you put the NUVI in the case , you can hardly hear the voice speak to you . of course , if the voice be not that important to you , then there be no problem at all : -rrb- +702 GPS POS 5 as expect , a excellent Garmin product . Easy to use , accurate and much information after work with it for several day . use it constantly . +998 GPS POS 4 I use this gp for a bit over a year , around 15 month during which time I drive around 23,000 mile . during that time I think it be one of the best purchase I have make . however , recently it randomly decide to stop log onto the satellite . I be outdoors , use it in area I have regularly use it and previously have no problem , I have not move hundred of mile since the last login but it still will not get a good connection . when it do it quickly go away and say it have lose the satellite reception -lrb- usually within 5 minute and consider it 'll take hour to connect that be just unsatisfactory -rrb- . I try talk to Garmin and while they do give I generic `` try this '' none of it help and they want I to shell out a couple hundred dollar for they to look at it even though it have only be in use for a little over a year . I be better off just buy a new gp system than repair it ! as such I be now look for another brand as I be unhappy with Garmin support . that be say here 's what I think of it while it work : con : - if you put in multiple destination it will not sort they by what would be the most logical order to stop at they , however you put they in , that be the order you be take to they in -lrb- not uncommon among most gp 's -rrb- - when search for restaurant or store it 'll regularly bring up location that be not there , 10 minute later you 'll drive by one on a different side of town that it do not know exist -lrb- somewhat expect but this happen much more regularly than I expect -rrb- - Garmin support : I really feel as though they be try to rip I off and just get money from I without know what be cause the problem or how they be even go to fix it - map update : while it may be somewhat standard in the industry to charge customer for regular map update I think company like Navigon that charge one fee for 3 entire year of update be serve customer more justly - inputting address : cr 528 can not be input the way it would be write on a letter , if it be not exact the 350 do not know what you be talk about - Time estimation for destination arrival be usually aggressive , I would prefer it to be more conservative so when I be on a eight hour drive I know from the start I be go to get there in 8 hour and not 7 . pro : - it will get you where you be go - before it initially break , the time it take to get a satellite connection be relatively short - customizable icon and voice -lrb- although you can not record you own or someone else be to use -rrb- - several different route choice : fastest , shortest ect - ability to program it to avoid u-turn , toll road , and ferry 's -lrb- most gp 's these day all have the last two characteristic -rrb- - routing be typically good and sensible although there be several spot in the US where it get a little goofy all in all , for the price it be at now it be probably worth it , I spend around $ 300 but do not be surprise if Garmin do not care about you or the product when it break . hopefully yours will not break as soon or unexpectedly . personally , I be do use Garmin product . +632 GPS NEU 3 I buy this item because I want to have traffic info give the fact that I live in a busy city . happily I follow the provide route , only to get stick in a traffic jam . this thing do not provide any traffic info in South Carolina at all . for the rest it function quite well , although it do not see much use road even with the latest update . a nice example be Palmetto commerce parkway . a four lane commuter road . accord to Garmin it do not exist . update it be a pain . it take forever to download and install map . still , way better than Tomtom , which try to get I to drive into a pasture . +329 GPS POS 5 I live in Colorado . I have find the 305 to be a excellent tool and a excellent companion in my fitness pursuit and enjoyment of my run and mountain biking activity . there be so many way you can use this device to make you walk , run , or bicycling for each day more interesting . a great motivator . +242 GPS POS 5 I read all I could about all the different gp . I choose this one becouse of it be portability . it have it be own power source . it be small enough to carry in my pocket . and also the price . I have use it alot . I be never lose if it be with I . I do not look at a map anymore . jusy type in where you want to go . it tell you how far and when you will get there . if you decide to go off the route for any reason it will recalucate and give you the new direction . I love this box . I recomend it for everyone . +756 GPS POS 4 I try the Garmin 2360lmt once I receive it from Amazon for three week continuous travel and I find it good and accurate , but I leave it hang in the dashboard for about two hour in the sun this make it dead for two day until it cool down . then I learn to store it in the shade now it be work good +156 GPS NEG 1 this software should be label a beta software until the company work out all its problem , it should be never compare to Garmin or Magellan , I own both and it do not even come close . I will start with the pro since it will take the least time to mention . pro : Convenience of have a gp load on you phone , the GPS receiver can be leave in the vehicle except when you be hike for example . con : inaccurate map -lrb- we be talk mile not foot ! -rrb- , Difficult of use , cumbersome menu , lack of pous 's , wrong pous location , crash often and the list go on ... map : the inaccuracy of the map be incredible and can lead you to a wrong place or miss a free way exit . map be out date , it do not show street that have be update on all map search engine 18 month prior . you can not click and pan the map to see the route ahead . crash often , about once every 2 ~ 3 day . pous -lrb- point of interest -rrb- : again incomplete , inaccurate and difficult to use . for example if you be look for a certain store and the search return 6 and let we say the first 3 be approximately 3mi from where you be , you will not be able to select each one to further know more info - all you can do be pick one to get the direction to . customer service : not very helpful , not knowledgeable about they product or offer and take long time to answer question or concern . I be disappoint at the product which could have be a incredible for the convenience , I hope that the people involve in make decision for the company go out and buy some different gp unit and see how they can improve they product , until then it should be , and I say it again , label a beta software . thanks for you time read my review ! +534 GPS POS 5 very easy to use . Heart rate strap comfortable around body . excellent information output ! highly recommend for runner . +965 GPS POS 4 this be a nice portable gp device , but there be flaw . understand its limitation can make expectation tolerable . pro : customizable voice -lrb- everyone love this -rrb- , bluetooth capability to receive and make phone call , nice color display , adequate voice prompt , point of interest in system surprisingly helpful . con : no option to limit route to paved road only -lrb- ask Kim family how important this one be , as the same thing almost happen to I and my family -rrb- , no ability to save current location as favorite -lrb- unless address be recognize -rrb- , bluetooth compatibility be very limited , some bug in system cause crash if address be to rte road , no ability to plan route on desktop then transfer to portable , no ability to manipulate or customize favorite on desktop and transfer to portable . newer system may merit you attention if these flaw be address , but this be not a bad device at a good price . +664 GPS POS 5 I get the Forerunner just in time to start the new year , and it have be a great motivational tool to keep I run on a regular basis . just see it on my desk make I want to go for a run ! i run a number of different route , and it be nice to be able to alter they on the fly to keep my distance fairly consistent . I have use it for walk , run and on my bike to check speed and distance , and it be easy to delete workout if you do not want bike or walk datum pollute you run log . if you be run in the dark you can press the power button briefly to turn on the -lrb- very nice golden -rrb- back light for about 15 seconds at a time . the only problem that I have have be after change my weight setting the calorie counter seem to be a bit whack out - 216 calorie to run 6.27 mile in under a hour at 175 lb . do not seem quite correct . hopefully new firmware or a reset will correct it , but I 'll wait until after the pc log software be release before try to correct it . it be easy to strap onto a bike that have a thick cyclometer or light mount on the handlebar , so I can not imagine buy the bike adapter at this point . great product . have not be so happy on the bleeding edge since get my first generation ipod . +335 GPS POS 4 only minor negative . there be not a selection for fm output and the voice can not be change . everything else be great . +432 GPS POS 5 I love my new Garmin ! so glad I get one with lifetime update as the last one I have be a real pain to deal with . my old Garmin stop work and I be use the gp on my phone and be find it difficult to use the phone for multiple thing at once . . best to use a separate device for the gp ! this one a bit bigger so it be really easy to read . ca not think of anything negative to say so give it 5 star . . +807 GPS POS 5 I purchase the bu-353 gp receiver to use with the marine navigation software I install on two different laptop use on my sailboat . one of the laptop run Windows xp and the other , Windows 7 -lrb- 64bit -rrb- . I install the latest driver from the manufacture website , then connect the gp receiver which have work flawlessly on both computer and under both operate system . the gp receiver be install inside the boat and receive signal through the fiberglass without issue . +713 GPS NEU 3 I be happy overall with the product . pro : Easy to use . con : Garmin advertise City Xplorer software for certain city on they website . this software show all available transit type for that city and the route . they do say not all city have this information . from Amazon.com `` include advanced navigation feature to take the worry out of travel , include cityxplorer pedestrian map '' . I order City Xplorer for Houston from the Garmin website . there be no disclaimer list for that city . I could not find any bus route . I call they help line which be very polite and willing to help I . it end up that the person help I have to call 3 different place within the company to get a answer for I . there be only 3 city that include bus information . they be all in Europe . they refund my money without my have to ask for it . it do show the closest bus stop to you location but if you do not know you way around the city this be not helpful . it do show the Metrorail . this feature be why I choose this particular brand and model . +264 GPS POS 5 it be true that it do not work great near skyscraper . other then that , it be great . +742 GPS POS 4 easy to use right of the box . Street detour be a bit of a challage and have a strange voice speak direction to you while you be drive take a bit of get use to . all in all , the StreetPilot be a great value . +350 GPS NEG 1 Magellan Roadmate 800 . this product should be ship directly from the manufacturer to the garbage dump . I recently use this to go from Eugene , or to Lake Tahoe , CA . the error , misdirection , and mis-routing on this one trip be far too numerous to list here . I will give 3 for you amusement . 1 . while go South on Interstate 5 it insist that I be go East . 2 . while sit in the Wal-Mart parking lot in Red Bluff , CA , I ask it to direct I to the nearest Wal-Mart . it tell I that it be 163 mile south . 3 . on my return to Eugene it route I through Placerville , which be fine . except once I get to Placerville it route I off the freeway and through several street and back onto the freeway , go in the opposite direction ... twice ! also , you can forget about find a rest stop on you way , it will route you 20 mile in the opposite direction when one be actually just a few mile up the road . save you $ 600 , buy a roadmap and a magnifying glass ... +456 GPS NEG 2 it do everything I buy it to do , and it do it well . the problem be I pay for this item , and they have no right to show I ad . today I accidentally click on a ad and it freeze up on I . I call costumer support , and they tell I my only option be to turn off traffic , or to pay they another $ 50 dollar . +924 GPS POS 5 this be easy to use , and in we car a real tension reliever . direction be easy to follow and we 1st time use we be drive at peak traffic time into a unfamiliar city . no problem see , or hearing , volume adj be fine . plenty of time to follow direction . take we to we destination address with no problem , stress free . when stop for gas or food it recalculate quickly . we love it . its we new best friend . +792 GPS POS 4 this be a excellent unit ! I have purchase the Garmin V Deluxe package with some trepidation as review I have read of it be mix . but I can honestly recommend it without reservation , have have it and use it for a while now . the quibble I read about the time recalculate route once off a plan route do not seem right - give 30 seconds or so , the machine recalibrate and calculate . battery life be good , and acquisition and lock on to satellite be also excellent . in a battery save measure , the backlight be turn off by default - I do hate that , but it be a very small problem . the unit be smaller than I have think , and very light . it easily fit in a coat pocket . I like this unit - if you do not require a color unit , talk direction , or a larger screen , this will fit the bill very , very nicely . +931 GPS NEU 3 when it work , it be terrific . Problem be that it be inconsistent in pick up GPS satellite . I start my run from the same location every time and the 201 vary in its pickup of signal even though it be the same time , same location , same weather . some day it work without a hitch -- and on other day , it will not pick up a signal even though it have no problem the day before . it will drop the GPS in the middle of a run in inconsistent place -lrb- again , I generally run the same route -rrb- , and when it finally pick it up again it can misjudge the mileage by up to a half-mile . I know it be not top-of-the-line , but I would expect a company with Garmin 's reputation to provide a better product . I be hope the 205 do a better job . +468 GPS POS 5 it do exactly what it be suppose to do and how could anyone complain at the price ? get one , you 'll love it ! +971 GPS POS 4 we buy this gp , we first , and we be happy . order it and have it deliver to my aunt 's house just when we arrive in the States . we be reasonably happy with this except that in highway 1 , the gp be say there be gas station nearby but all we can see be the edge of the cliff . also , there seem to be no preloaded european map ? do anyone know how i can get these for we next trip to France ? +495 GPS POS 5 I be directionally challenge and the GPS be one of the best invention ever . even when you miss a turn , it ` recalculate ' and help you find you way . the Garmin be great , easy to work , easy to read ... aside from my ipod it be the best thing I have ever buy . +463 GPS POS 5 the dual usb car charger for ipad order from Battery World work . that be something right there . and it charge quickly as well as doubly . +621 GPS NEG 2 if you be new to GPS navigator , I would avoid this product . the web site , documentation and normal operation be confusing and counter-intuitive . the customer service be good which be essential since you will need they often until all the quirk of this device be figure out . one example , I try to get a pdf manual download from the website for my device - except it be not list . call customer service I be tell to download another model number manual since mine be new . Fine , except the manual be the british version , all that be available . now supposedly we speak the same language but there be enough difference in navigational nomenclature that it just add to the confusion . I will keep the device but wish it be a Garmin . +110 GPS POS 5 I check all the review on as many site as I could find and all of they recommend this gp . I would not use the compass so I do not buy the 60cxs unit and this one come with a compass but you have to be move to make it work . it arrive when they say it would and Amazon have the lowest price . if you add the mapping software , it give you direction the same as a car unit but do not talk to you . I would highly recommend this unit to anyone who into geocashing , biking , walk or any similar activity . +154 GPS POS 4 we old Garmin work fine but there be no free update . this model seem to have a wider screen and as a plus it have lifetime free map and traffic . can not figure out the traffic yet - it be probably a setting I have not find yet . something install with the word traffic in it during my first use so I be certain it be activate . Works similar to the old Garmin . I be not sure I like it 100 % , but it do more stuff that I need to get use to . the screen be definitely more responsive , as be change between menu . I have not try a location search yet . it be a little awkward with the mini-usb plug perpendicular to the back instead of attach to the holder like my old Garmin . when I take off the Garmin to walk or to put in glove box , I now have three separate piece to deal with : cord with traffic antenna , unit itself , and windshield mount . windshield mount seem sturdy . it be easier to take the unit out of the bracket than I think . overall I think this be a very good deal . if the traffic start work it may be a great deal ! +93 GPS POS 5 this well-priced unit be exactly right for the beginner geocacher . the ability to download detailed map -lrb- you have to buy the cd -rrb- make it even more usable in other context . it be small , light-weight , and , for the most part , easy to use for a product of this type . enter datum be a little cumbersome . my eight-year old son become proficient in the use of the Garmin eTrex Legend -lrb- without any prior gp experience -rrb- in less than twenty minute . +357 GPS POS 4 receive the 1700-lm a day later than the estimate delivery date . delay be due to UPS send to wrong facility . I unpackage the 1700-lm and read the manual . the manual state a fully charge battery would last about 30 minute and that the battery in the unit do not charge via the usb connector ! go to you car and charge the Magellan for a few minute . I charge it for 15 minute . I then install the Magellan Content Manager , register the gp , and proceed to do the software and map update . that process take about 1.5 hour , so patience be a must . I have my finger cross the entire time . I notice that the display be dim while connected via usb . it update successfully , I think because the battery have a good charge and the display dim while on usb . I take the gp to my van and mount it use the provide plastic base , connect the power , and start it up . it take less than 15 seconds and the unit acquire the satellite signal . I fiddle around with it and decide I like it . one feature I like be the pous search . I enter a pous and it could not be find . a message pop up and ask if it should search nearby . after about 30 seconds my pous appear . one issue I have be with the piece of the mount bracket that connect to the back of the gp . it do not have enough articulation for my liking . I can not position the gp to the exact position I want . my view of the screen be usable but not exactly where I would prefer it to be . the screen display be between 7 and 9 . the volume adjustment be a 10 . screen sensitivity be between 8 and 10 . re-routing time be between 7 and 9 . a feature from other gp 's I have own that I wish the Magellan have be a trip computer . I also wish a ac power adapter have be include . now I have to go out and buy one . if one have be include I would not have worry about the gp shut down while update . overall I recommend the Magellan 1700-lm . +50 GPS POS 4 the nuvus 350 gp navigator work great . the text to speech be a option that you want to have . I find it very helpful while drive the interstate around Milwaukee . road to the right , leave and straight . the voice prompt or touch the screen to repeat help to keep you eye on the traffic . upload the recent map online do take a lot of time even with a dsl connection . the initial startup do take several minute to acquire the satellite . +929 GPS POS 5 I have be use my Magellan RoadMate for a couple of week now and be very pleased with it . it be quite easy to use . enter name and address be simple and straightforward . I also like the option of be able to save a location once I have drive to it in those case where I have not enter the address previously . the display be in color and well backlit so it be very easy to see even after dark . the display show the name of the street or road at which you next turn or exit take place as well as the name of the one you be on . a very pleasant voice announce how far it be to you next turn and a chime ring when you get to that intersection . there be build in address for restaurant , theater , etc. so you can find the best route to they without have the address handy . my only complaint be that when I select `` Least Use of Freeways '' and be take one of my back road , it keep route I to the nearest freeway entrance . if i continue along the way I usually go , I be tell to make a legal u-turn as soon as possible . once I have ignore that direction , it calculate a new route from where I be . I do not understand why it want to direct I to the freeway when there be a number of other road that lead to the destination . however , if I be travel in a area with which I be not familiar , it would be fine to follow the direction give and use the freeway . I would like to see this expand in newer version of the software , however , for those of we who really prefer to take we time and see lovely home , tree , shrub , flower , etc. instead of a stream of vehicle go 70 mile per hour and row of commercial building . +547 GPS POS 4 the Garmin nuvi 3750 be they latest generation of GPS model . the major enhancement be they iphone-like physical layout . it be size be very close to the iPhone -- and you can view in portrait or landscape mode by just move it . the upgrade resolution be the other major benefit of the 37xx series . if you do not need Bluetooth or voice navigation , this be the model for you . have previously own a Garmin 1450 , the 3750 be very comparable in feature . I find that when I turn it on the first time , it acquire satellite in less than 30 seconds , shorter time than any Garmin I have own . the mapping be comparable as well . the major improvement be the resolution as mention above . let 's take a look the pro and con of the 3750 . pro : Easy to read and navigate with this model . the advanced resolution be its biggest plus . signal acquire seem faster than previous model . you can use the 3750 in automotive , walk or bicycling mode . this multi-function make this model attractive . it be so small and thin -lrb- 9mm -rrb- that you can easily put it in you pocket . Eco mode be worthwhile if you be concern with the price of gas on a long trip . con : the main issue be price . when this model be introduce last year , the original price of $ 350 seem ridiculous compare to current model . fortunately , the price have drop to around $ 250 by many online vendor . of course , this be still too high compare to older model . overall , the nuvi 3750 be a strong performer . although it have many feature common to older Garmin model , its size , weight and resolution be key benefit . if only the price be more reasonable , it would make for a easy purchase for most consumer . +448 GPS NEG 2 last for a few time but now fall off the windshield all the time . can not stay on for more than 15-20 minute at a time . have try clean the cup surface but do not help much . would look for a better product +1 GPS POS 4 I have purchase this gp because I do not want to have to use the one on my phone , plus I do not really trust the phone accuracy . the price be right too ! I love the simplicity of this unit , the accuracy of the map and arrival time , and of course the free lifetime update of map and traffic . the only problem I have have with the unit be that it do not find the detoured route when the on-ramp to the interstate I need to get on be close , but that be probably because I do not set the unit to detour . otherwise , this be a great purchase and I would highly recommend it to a friend . +35 GPS POS 5 for the price , outstanding . could have buy higher price model with more `` bell & Whistles '' but for the `` average Joe '' this be perfect . I love it be mobility -lrb- internal battery -rrb- . +424 GPS POS 4 I have no idea how I survive without this . go be the day of printing map before I get in the car ! it be great to arrive in a new city and have no doubt that you will get from point a to point B. it lack a lot of the bell and whistle of other GPS unit , but for I that be a good thing . I do not need all of that other junk . I buy mine last spring and just purchase another exactly like it for my mom . +100 GPS NEU 3 I would have give it 3.5 star but it be not a option . I only give it 3.5 star because of the poor software and useless base map . the unit itself be a nice unit . I have have the 60csx for about a few week now . there be a learning curve at first but now I have it setup to my preference it be a pretty nice unit . it take a week to get use to how the unit function . after that it be pretty simple to use and navigate through the gp function . I be look for a unit that have mobile capability like my eTrex Legend and yet want something that have the detail map and navigational capability like my Garmin 2720 . I purchase the 60csx as a well rounded solution for my need . so , far it fit perfectly with some additional cost of course . pro : handy unit , it can be remove from the car and carry unlike the 2720 . screen be large enough to read . well lay out button . rugged . good screen resolution . con : Software that come with the 60csx be pretty much useless . need to buy the extra memory card and additional software for better map , I purchase and extra 1gb memory chip -lrb- $ $ $ $ -rrb- . the 1gb chip be a over kill but I like the flexibility . without the extra item the 60csx be no better than a eTrex Legend . fortunately , I also have a Garmin 2720 with the North America NT v7 software w \/ full unlock code . if you register on-line with Garmin you can reuse the code to unlock another GPS unit -lrb- 2 unit max -rrb- - you need this to download sectional map to the 60csx . if I do not have the other unit unlock code and software I would have spend another ~ $ 150 for additional software . to figure out how to get the unlock code to work and download better map to the on the 60CSX take another 1.5 week . not a intuitive process . email tech support several time , it be much faster than call they and wait on the phone . email response be less than 2 day . Update : the 60csx work with the Garmin 2720 external antenna . sat lock on much faster ... even thou the 60csx do lock on pretty quick already . order the window suction mount , wait for it now . +450 GPS POS 5 great item for hand free operation , I use this mount for my bike it be configuration work well , the attachment plate snap in place but it could be a lot more sell snap ! I have to apply some supper glue to make the attachment permanent . this be because of during extreme road vibration due to bump and dip , the main face plate would pop off and cause flip out of its clip , the grip of the holster do its job hold the phone in place very firm grip ; it save my phone from damage . over all I be happy to use this device for hand free operation . bracketron rwa-201-bl Golf Cart Mount with Grip-iT for GPS +571 GPS POS 4 my first unit have a defective radio and Garmin swap it out and save my waypoint . suggest you buy ear bud w \/ PTT mic . my hunting party use they and it coordinate we hunt accurately especially send waypoint . bring battery since 6hr seem to be useable time . if money be not a issue buy 530 model since the radio power be 5 watt versus 1\/2 watt and the togel switch be easier to use . overall it make hunting with a group better . +168 GPS POS 4 Update : 9\/13\/06 - excellent customer service if you be willing to wait online for 30 + minute -- my unit be perfect -- suction cupdid not hold on the windshield nor on the disk provide for the dashboard . they be send I another mount device at no charge . original review August 2006 : receive the unit just in time for a trip to the mountain . enclose instruction incomplete and hard to decipher for a first-time GPS user . contents in package not label or describe -- you be on you own to figure out what the disk with the red bull eye might be use for . plug it into the cigarette lighter and attach the suction cup to the windshield as instruct , turn the unit on and it work perfectly , right out of the box . the suction cup mount fail every time soon after attachment , no matter which part of the windshield to which it be attach . finally decide that there have to be a better way to mount this . on the way , two hour into we trip , hold the gp because it be not stick to the windshield , a low battery indicator come on , despite the unit be plug into the cigarette lighter -lrb- not the source of the problem -rrb- . finally , the screen go blank and would not come back on , obviously , this unit be either defective or not charge . at we destination , I figure out that the black disk with the red bull eye be actually a platform upon which to attach the suction cup of the unit to the dashboard . unit inoperable , but attach . get back home after trip , call Garmin . after 50 minute on hold -lrb- thankfully I have a speaker phone -rrb- a technician have I connect the unit with my computer & the usb cable . he inform I that my unit could be charge through the usb cable -lrb- not in the instruction book or the online download manual -rrb- . we figure out that the charge cable for the Garmin & cigarette lighter connection be defective . Garmin send replacement cable -- which I be now await . Garmin 's website with faq 's do not address query include `` low battery '' , `` blank screen '' , and so forth . I can report that during the two hour it do work , it be marvelous . +717 GPS NEG 1 I receive one of these for christmas . the Item turn on perfectly , but that about all it do perfectly . it give I `` map not find '' right out of the box . I contact Magellans pathetic customer support . when they finally reply , they tell I I be basically out of luck , that they dont service this model anymore , and I could send it back and purchase a different model at a resonable rate !!! Cripes !! I get the stupid piece of junk for Christmas , why in the heck would I want to spend money on another one of they item when this one do not even work out of the box . the bottom line be , I get a new paperweight for christmas . this item could be fix with a service update and they know it . do yourself a favor , do not purchase anything from Magellan . customer support be terrible . product support be non-existant . always remember ... get a. . get a. . get a GARMIN !!! +875 GPS NEG 2 it take a lot of research for I to finally find a gp cf bundle -lrb- hardware and software -rrb- for a Dell Axim x5 . some how just buy the one Dell push be not good enough and here some of what I have learn ... the Pharos unit cover the audio input on the top of the x5 ... why be that important ? well if you be use it in a car and what to use a device to boost the sound of you turn by turn direction -lrb- ie . a power PDA car holder -rrb- ... well you would be out of luck . the product have a lot of kink , it have trouble with re-routing and over all be a good start but for the same money you can get something that be much better . look into a Haicom 303 ... as far as software a lot of it be personal preference - look at the website of the software maker and see if you like the look of the software . call Pharos and talk to they ... I think you will find that they be more about good marketing , slick name and packaging than a mature product . like other reviewer I can not see any difference beteen the pf022 and the pfd22 -lrb- for Dell -rrb- other than something for Dell . check ` buy GPS now com ' for more in depth information about GPS and software product . Amazon have a good start but there be just not enough imformation - like EXACTLY what come in the box and any thing else -lrb- ie cord -rrb- that you will need to make it work with you pda . since you can not return software once you have install it - you need all the INFORMATION you can get to pick wisely . +396 GPS NEG 2 Garmin 's model number be extremely confusing . I buy this and turn out that this be a very bad gp . pro : 1 . nice slim look . look sleek . but then again , this be actually a con . see below con : 1 . the nice sleek look be a thief magnet invite a bust window . 2 . the touchscreen do not work very well . type street name miss key many time . I suspect that its a processor issue . 3 . Voice command be a joke . it almost never get anything right . 4 . find place `` along route '' list do not auto update force you to go back and re-search to get update list as you drive along you route . I reture this and buy the 2460lmt instead from costco for 180 . it solve all of the above con . plus there be also a feature to update speed limit if need . who would have think that 2460 be better than 3790 ? +550 GPS NEG 1 map be out of date and still wait for the promise update . customer service outsource to India be a joke and corporate headquarters do not answer email . do not buy a Magellan GPS +893 GPS POS 5 this be my second gp -lrb- I upgrade from a eTrex Legend -rrb- and I love it ! it do a excellent job keep a signal when in the wood where my old one would not have have a signal at all . I also like the digital compass and altimeter even though I think they would just be another toy feature when I buy it . I have some map load on it now too and with a 1gb card I can hold most all of the US . you can also save the track to the memory card . the navigation feature do not seem to work well for I though but I think that may be because I be use a old version of Mapsource -lrb- v7 -rrb- . overall I would highly recommend this . +927 GPS POS 5 this be the fifth Garmin GPS that I have purchase over the year , -lcb- not include three for my boat -rcb- . the first one for my car be a Street pilot . belive I this be the best you can get . if you get bore while drive , you can look at picture you have take . +553 GPS POS 4 buy this over a week back and have be test drive it everyday . as other people have comment , it lock on very fast - from a cold start to `` Ready for Navigation '' , it take I approximately 30-40 sec but after that its pretty smooth . for the price that it be currently available on Amazon for - you cant beat it . I have be research for a GPS unit in this price range from a long time and have shortlist this one and the Navigon 5100 . people who be on the lookout for a gp should consider that one also . a few quirk i observe on the 350 : 1 . map seem to be a little off in some mall \/ densely populated area - again this might be a problem with every other GPS too . 2 . a major one for I be the lack of a qwerty touch key pad . this mean that you have to use a keypad design a , b , c , d etc etc to type out city and state - this be extremely slow . I google this issue and find a lot of people notice and report this - unfortunately there be no known resolution and Garmin have choose to ignore the problem . 3 . can not type in a city by a postal code - though the manual mention this , i have try unsuccessfully to put in one and cant get it to work - i think this gp lack the ability to do this . but all in all a very satisfactory purchase that will fit in you pocket : -rrb- +973 GPS POS 5 my husband be not like I and will not stop to ask direction , especially when we need to traverse congested or suburban , or even rural area . we have a 5th wheel travel trailer and enjoy go about the country periodically . I buy this specifically for he to use when we travel in two vehicle in the event we become separate in traffic . we do travel with walkie-talkie but I want a good system for he in case of problem . I particularly like the instruction , `` such as do not take the next turn but take the road immediately follow , '' the advance notice of road or direction change , and they be simple enough for anyone to follow ... and it be hand free , unlike use the walkie-talkie . I want a gp with lifetime update so I pick this gp over a less expensive unit . due to we aging eye , I also choose the larger screen , and actually like the 5 '' screen although I would have love the 7 '' screen . I have no problem see the GPS screen , even located 2-3 foot from the driver 's seat . I would not want one less than the 5 '' screen . I hope you enjoy the GPS you select and I strongly recommend this model . +138 GPS POS 5 we order this model instead of update and older one because we want the lane assist feature , it really pay off when we go to Florida in September . +409 GPS POS 5 Perfect size for a readable display while fitting nicely on the bike . great flexibility in select field and field size for up to five training page . manual clearly describe how to customize the GPS . map be helpful , and virtual partner be a motivator to make a extra push . hard to imagine what they could do to improve it ! +471 GPS NEG 1 one of the primary reason I buy a Garmin 1450 LMT be the offer of lifetime map update as I have have problem in the past with out of date gp system . now I be leave on a trip and it be time to perform a update but the unit seem incapable of do so . the update software see my gp attach via usb and recognize the model and serial number but when I tell it to update , it fail say that there be not enough room on the device , delete unnecessary file . the problem be that I have not add any file ! I recognize that over time Garmin 's map get larger and there be a finite amount of memory on the unit but this unit be only a few month old . how can Garmin market a unit as have lifetime update and then have it run out of room in a few month ? this seem extremely irresponsible of the company and they should offer a replacement unit that be capable of receive map for some time into the future . I have use several Garmin product in the past and be happy but I be very disappoint in this one and in Garmin 's approach to marketing seemingly inadequate unit . I will gladly rewrite this in a positive note if Garmin agree to fix the problem and turn this around because otherwise I be happy with the device . +689 GPS POS 5 this be we first gp and we love it . it do exactly what we want it to do which be get we from Ohio to South Carolina for we vacation without get we lose , send we way out in the middle of nowhere , etc. . we have have a lot of issue with use mapquest , phone GPS , etc in the past so we be concern about it get we lose in the mountain or send we to some tiny town in the middle of nowhere like last year with a borrow gp . we fully charge it before we leave and it hold the charge for 5 hour of constant use . we be not able to get it to charge or turn on by use the cigarette adapter , but we have a ac\/dc adapter in the car for my laptop so we just plug in into that and it charge just fine . the times\/miles be pretty accurate though it do seem to have a lag time if you change from the pre-planned route . I be sure there be other gp ' out there that offer a lot more bell and whistle , but this be perfect for someone who just want a basic gp with a simple interface . I also like that we do not have to buy new map and update like I have hear friend have to do . it do take about 90 minute for I to do the first update from the computer , but that be no big deal . I be look forward to use this on more trip . +982 GPS POS 5 the Garmin Nuvi 350 be my third gp , and it be by far the best unit I have use . as a avid GPS user , I can not express enough praise for this unit . with its large touch screen , complete U.S. street map , built-in mp3 player , jpeg viewer , voice output navigation , this be one sweet unit . I hook be up out of the box , and it work perfectly for I in just minute . -lrb- to discover all its feature , however , I admit that I do have to scan through the paper manual , and then I read the . pdf manual that be include with the unit . -rrb- this be a extremely simple unit to use , and it be very intuitive . at first , I think I would not like its limited set of screen and menu , but with use , I have come to appreciate how Garmin simply remove the clutter that multiple option give I on previous unit . most shocking be how inexpensive and yet powerful this unit be . my last Garmin be a Quest -lrb- with color screen -rrb- for which I pay about $ 500 in 2006 . this Nuvi be much faster , have a bigger screen , and provide far more capability than my previous unit . for I , this be a quantum leap forward in technology in just a 2-year period of time . I really appreciate the fact that it take a sd card . I buy a 2gb card and have load almost 30 cd of music , and there be still room to spare . I just plug the output of the Nuvi into my car stereo -lrb- via a cassette adapter -rrb- , and I no longer have to carry a bunch of cd with I any more . some thing this unit do not provide include track log , route , and a few other odds and end , which I think I would miss . but within a very short time , I realize I do not need those thing to navigate with ease . thank you , Garmin , for make such a compact , intuitive , and feature-packed unit . the Nuvi 350 be a real winner for both novice and experienced gp user . +896 GPS POS 4 I have run 3 marathon and I be eye my fourth in a few month . I do not know the exact distance of my training run , so I decide to buy the Forerunner 201 . but then I notice that Garmin have another model call the foretrex 201 . the other model have WAAS enable which mean up to 3-5 time more accurate reading ! also it have other gp feature that the Forerunner lack . however , the Foretrex lack feature like calorie count and pace -lrb- minute per mile -rrb- . but I do not need a calorie counter and I can do math -lrb- go 7.5 mph be equivalent to 8:00 minute\/mile pace -rrb- . furthermore , I hike once in awhile so this would be a nice little addition to my hike . so I order the foretrex 201 and test it out . it work really well , especially in dc . I have be use it for about 2 monht now and I have yet to lose a connection . it work in cloudy weather -lrb- do that several time -rrb- and near building and near tree . it seem like people be have trouble with the forerunner 201 and it be accuracy . I do not have such inaccury with my foretrex 201 , maybe because it be WAAS enable . I use Sportsim software -lrb- free download from sportsim.com -rrb- to download the track onto my computer and it display pace , route , distance , and elevation . you can even put a map on the background and see you route in reference to a real map . this be how I check the accuracy of the device . on all of the route I have download and overlay on a map , it have be spot on -lrb- actually , it be sometimes off by a few meter , it be not perfect -rrb- ! conclusion : the foretrex 201 and Sportsim be a killer comb if you want to keep track of accurate time and distance . +63 GPS POS 4 I love this product . it be very easy to use and you can see the route you be take -lrb- the big picture -rrb- ahead of time and choose to take a different one if you wish . other garmin I have use just send you off and you be not sure what the big picture look like which can be frustrating . the only thing I do not like be that you can not just view the map as you drive , you have to plug in a destination . also it do not allow you to plug in a address -lrb- eg . 20 Alpine Lane -rrb- unless it be program in . so if 500 alpine Lane be program in it can only take you there , so you have to figure it out on you own . but other than that it be really awesome . +510 GPS POS 5 this be actually a gift , but the recipient love it . she have a Garmin before and she say this one be much better ... now that could be because she be tell I that and I give it to she and she do not want to hurt my feeling , but I have notice that she have not use she Garmin since she get this one . you be the judge ... +615 GPS NEG 1 I buy this because Amazon recommend this carry case with a Magellan GPS on the bottom of the Magellan 2045 web page . I buy it think it would save I some time go to a store . when I put my new Magellan 2045 GPS in the carry case it be a struggle . upon take it out the Magellan have a nice scratch across the top . if a carry case be suppose to protect the gp this fail completely . I would not recommend this case unless you put a smaller gp unit in it . front and back have enough room but the side be extremely tight . for something like this go to one of those kiosk in the mall to ensure a good fit . to I the title be mislead so now you know my opinion . I can not state anything about the durability since I just get it today . +996 GPS POS 4 the Garmin c330 have a clear readable screen . the audio sound be very good . the one weakness be not its base but the clamp that be suppose to hold the unit onto the base . as soon as there be a bump or dip in the road it fall off the clamp . I have have to resort to use tape to hold it firmly . there need to be improvement of this feature . overall I like the Garmin c330 . +531 GPS POS 5 I be very glad I buy this case for my Garmin . not only have I drop the gp on numerous occasion but it keep the rain and dirt off of it too . the screen on my gp be like new and I have have it for two year with the carry case . I do have to clean the clear window from time to time on the inside and outside but that be to be expect . this be well worth the money spend . +277 GPS POS 4 for the money I do not think you can do better than the Garmin c330 have to offer . I purchase a couple and return of other prior to come back to this unit and for ease of use and accuracy , nothing beat it . the only knock I have on it be it be size compare to some of the other with the same size screen . it would be much easier on air travel if you could pack it away in you laptop case like some of the other . I recently use it on a vacation which involve several move to different place on the west coast and this thing be a super time saver , not to mention the tension of plot out you trip and try to make head or tail out of those internet provide drive direction . +536 GPS POS 5 I do not usually write review but since other people 's review help I choose this product , I think I would add my two cent . first , the product be order on a Wednesday . it ship the next day and I have it in hand on Saturday . so great service from the seller . second , my biggest concern be find something that would work with my iPhone 4 in a OtterBox Defender case - for those who do not know , this be a very protective case which make the phone much thicker , wider , etc. . it be hard to find something that be adjustable to more than just the standard phone with no case . but who want to remove the case any time they dock the phone ? not I ! also I be concern about the suction cup style mount because I have hear that these lose they grip in extreme hot or cold temp . I install the mount yesterday - if you can really call it installation because it take like 10 seconds and do not require tool - piece of cake and seem to be a pretty secure fit . happy to say that the side adjust wide enough to easily accommodate the phone in the OtterBox . it will not fit the phone sideways , but since the holder rotate I do not see that as a real issue . also the bottom rest be deep enough to support the phone . and the quick release button be a nice feature . the only thing I notice be that with my special case , I can see that the opening on the bottom rest will be just shy of allow I to plug in a charger . just a hair deeper and it would work , so maybe a improvement on the next model would be to make that phone rest adjustable as well . have say that , there be a easy work around to this issue . first , the bottom phone rest be removable so I could go without it . a second option would be to keep it on and , since the holder rotate 360 , I can insert the phone `` upside down '' from how it would traditionally fit , then plug the charger in from the `` top '' -lrb- since the screen be go to adjust anyway to how it be positioned -rrb- . overall I be happy this will suit my need and I be look forward to use it on road trip . +752 GPS POS 5 excellent product , do everything it be advertise to do . I especially like the 3d view , much more followable -lrb- if that be a word ! -rrb- . it be very easy to use for those who be novice to the gp mapping world . the only drawback for I be that it be not waterproof and I intend to use it on a motorcycle . hence I have to trade it in for a more rugged model . but for those who do not intend to use it in the rain , by all means this be the product for you . +246 GPS POS 4 have anyone else experienced get the product with a defect on the top right side where the face join with the band ? -lrb- the glue or seal use to join the piece be bad -rrb- . I order two unit and both have the same defect from black Friday sale ... just curious ... it be not a big defect , but detract from the overall quality ... think about order a third set to see if it be more than just a coincidence ... or a sale on defective unit ... +688 GPS POS 4 I buy this gp receiver `` fly blind '' - I have little time and no experience . so I buy it through Amazon -lrb- from a Camera outfit in NYC -rrb- , and it arrive really quickly . I do not really know how it would work with my netbook computer and the gp software that I have . it take I a few minute to figure out how to set it up the first time , and then set up the com port -lrb- the default port be not the right one -rrb- , but it be not too hard . then I let it look for satelite - which take over 15 minute . but when I fire up the gp software , it work the first time , and I have no issue with it whatsoever . I do not know if it drain the battery or not ... one time it seem to , and the next it do not . I have only use it a few time , but I be quite satisfied with it . +506 GPS POS 4 I have a garmin i2 before i get this for we second car . I try out a magellan roadmate 3050T , but have to return it as it couldnt find poi properly -lrb- I ask it for the nearest target and it say it be two state away : -rrb- but no such issue with the c340 . quite up-to date map and the UI be clean and uncluttered . the negative : the text to speech be not really clear . the name of certain street come out garbled , so you still need to look at the screen to make sure you have the correct street . -lrb- eg . it say `` Lawrence expeeway '' for `` Lawrence expway '' . when i try to locate a pous , say the nearest starbuck , it show a list of starbuck nearby , put the distance and the direction next to it -lrb- like 3.5 mi s , or 2.4 mi sw -rrb- . but when the vehicle move , the direction -lrb- s , sw , ne etc. -rrb- change to small arrow . but this change back to the s , sw , ne etc when the vehicle stop . I really like this feature of magellan , and be thrill to find it on this Garmin , but i dont understand why the arrow can be display only when the vehicle be move . I agree that it have to be so when the vehicle have not start move , but you should be able to move the vehicle a bit , get to the arrow and the arrow should stay when i stop my vehicle . er ... overall , i think i be just be picky ... but if it be not for the above , i would have give it 5 star . +398 GPS NEG 1 this product be just awful . it take forever to acquire a satellite . once it do , it be initially confuse as to where it be , basically think it be at the last destination it reach . I have faithfully update the firmware every time a new iteration come out and the product do not get any better . in area where there be a lot of street , it get confused and send you in the wrong direction . I would not recommend this product to anyone . I would give it zero star if Amazon have such a rating . +161 GPS POS 5 I buy this device over a year ago and could not be happier . I have loan it a couple of my friend who immediately buy one just like it . one of those friend have one build into he Denali but use this one for it be user friendlyness and ability to move it from car to car . the other have just buy one of a different brand and ask I to come over to help he learn how to use it . I could not make sense of he so loan he mine . with out instruction he be able to master the c340 and immediately take the other one back for a refund and buy c340 . the only caveot be it do not come with rubber dash mount which by the way work great , so plan on get one when you buy you c340 . +947 GPS NEG 2 Magellan GPS be `` ok '' . it beat have nothing . I purchase they top end unit after have great success with Magellan GPS in my Hertz rental . do not know why exactly , but there be almost no similarity between the consumer and commercial line . Navigation be a b + on a generous day . ca not see the screen in the daylight . charge for map updat be too expensive . here be what you really need to KNOW before you buy a MAGELLAN MAESTRO or ROADMATE GPS : MAGELLAN will not fix you unit if it go out of warranty . they will not try to fix you unit if it go out of warranty . yes , that be correct , if you gp be out of warranty , you can not ship it to they for repair - they will not take it . you be stick with you broken item . Tuff ya know what . they be however so very thoughtful when I call for support . they have a `` loyalty program '' where I be offer MAGELLAN 's lowest end gp at a higher or near same price as I would pay at Amazon.com or Walmart . keep in mind , I spend hundred on thier top of the line . wow , thanks so much . I 'll tell you what I respectfully tell the support phone rep. follow a post of this review , I 'll be on my way to Garmin.com to obtain my next gp unit . +413 GPS POS 5 I just buy the GPS for my sister a week ago and it have a internal antenna which make it possible to receive signal even inside they home while my Nuvi 250w be a bit horrible on signal reception . a great price for a great gp I say . +457 GPS NEU 3 the fit be a bit too snug , but it do work . give good protection to my Garmin 255w 4.3 inch gp . however , after use for 9 month -lrb- about one trip every 1-2 month -rrb- , the glue use to hold the strap in the case begin to ooze and get on the GPS case , so I be downgrade my rating . I try slip the gp into a tissue , napkin , plastic bag , etc. hope that would protect it or stick to the ooze glue , but the fit be so tight that the GPS just push through the bottom of whatever you wrap it in . I do store the GPS in the case between use ; perhaps not store the GPS in the case at home might help ... less strain on the strap . -lrb- however , it ooze when store in the middle of a trip , not during a long storage -rrb- I pick up a cheap smart phone case to try instead . +963 GPS POS 5 product work wonderfully . touch screen work perfectly . the insert for padding to make a tight fit be a big help . I would recommend this product to anyone . +80 GPS POS 5 the Garmin Forerunner 305 have be such a wonderful training tool . the display be easily change to show what you would like to have access to during a workout -lrb- i.e. Heart rate , distance , pace , elevation , etc -rrb- . this product give you so much information at you fingertip . not only be the watch incredible , but you can access more information depend on the computer program you use to download you workout to . I highly recommend this product to anybody who would like to have more information about they workout than they know what to do with . +247 GPS POS 5 I have a etrex vista before the GPSMAP 60c , I have it on the handle bar of my bicycle and ride about 25mph when suddenly it fall off and swing by the wrist strap right in to the fork and get wedge between the tire and the steel . it make a bunch of grind noise and stop I pretty quick . needless to say the case be completely destroy , the fabric be tear and the tire melt the plastic in front of the unit 's screen . when I take out the unit there be not even a scratch . this case be little less accessible but in my opinion , completely worth it . +326 GPS POS 5 this unit preform flawlessly and with the free lifetime map the unit pay for itself in two year . I love it and recommend it to all . +338 GPS POS 5 I use my gp mainly for Geocaching . my original -lrb- Etrex Vista -rrb- be a fine gp , but I want the external antenna , the extended battery life , and the bigger , color screen . I have not be disappoint . this gp be more accurate than my Vista ; the Geocaching mode help keep track of my find . the accuracy be several foot better , too . all in all , if you be look for a gp with more bell and whistle than you 'll ever need , but like the high end of gadgetry , this be it . it may be a bit more expensive than the other model , but to I , it be worth it . +43 GPS NEG 1 we buy this 2 1\/2 year ago for $ 800 because it be on Oprah 's favorite thing think it would be a investment and a quality product and we would have it a long time . not even a year into own it a couple of the tong on the cradle get bent and we have to buy a replacement for $ 30 -lrb- since they have jack it up to $ 70 -rrb- because it would lose connection constantly . well , after a year it keep ask we to update the map and we live in SA and do not see a need since we be not travel outside of the city and we know it well so we do not . then it start stall , freezing and basically malfunction . we be tell to buy a map update by customer service for $ 99 and that would solve the problem . we buy the update and it seem to work after that . now since the cradle tong be incredibly delicate -lrb- and we be careful with it -rrb- another tong have bent one the new one . the update map signal come on a couple of week ago and what do you know-the gp be malfunction again . it seem like Magellan have find a way to make a lot of cash by sell a unreliable product . First you have to pay $ 99 a year to keep the map update or else it will malfuction and if you bend the tong on the cradle -lrb- and you will -rrb- you will have to sell out $ 70 for a new one . also , it take forever to find you and sometimes you will pass right by the road you be suppose to take while it be decide where you should go only to have to turn around a mile down the road . that have happen MANY time . I be extremely upset with Magellan since they do not offer to repair it-only map update and a trade in where I be sure they make money off you again since you already pay $ 800 for this one in the first place . and who be to say the second one they replace it with will be any better . save you money and do not get rip off by this scam they have go . it be a money pit and you be the loser . +728 GPS POS 4 we Gamin Nuvi GPS seem like a slightly imperfect but quite wonderful personal angel up in the satelite look out for we . the instruction for set up be easy to understand and follow , e , g , change mile to kilometer , change time from CST to EST. . the actual plot of a route be amazing and probably accurate . because of ` local ' knowledge , we ` disobey ' twice to take a short cut , and the instrument very patiently recalibrate its direction . so far its be just fun . +556 GPS NEG 1 I receive the GPS , I like it . however , after a little over a month , I be have problem with the unit , sometimes it just will not talk , force I to look at the Nuvi screen constantly so I will not miss my exit , not good if the traffic be heavy . I purchase and download the Traffic Camera software and if the unit do not feel like talk or announce , this software be useless , because I will never know that there be a camera up ahead . also , the Bluetooth do not work well either , I have to pair my device almost EVERY time I start the car , and sometimes I have to restart the Nuvi two or even three time for it to connect to my phone . I have a older Nuvi , a 680 , I connect it today , and the Bluetooth of that gp still remember my iPhone ! all in all , when the device work as be suppose , be very nice , but with all these annoyance , I be think to go back to my old Nuvi ; unfortunately the old Nuvi be not compatible with the Camera Alert Software . maybe I should get a different brand of GPS . +4 GPS POS 5 this mount seem to work fine with my 2005 Subaru Legacy with the 6 cd changer . there be a small amount of movement but not enough to notice . the clamp arm be not perfect for a ipod touch but still hold it secure enough . the ipod touch be thin and taper at the edge , most phone be thicker . this be the best solution to attach a mount to the dash I have find . +921 GPS POS 5 can you believe I buy this from amazon for $ 154 ? and free shipping ! this thing be awesome - the menu be very intuitive . we charge it up and it be ready to go . the feature be really cool , you can choose a category , like restaurant , shopping , lodging , and the nuvus will pull up a list of nearby option . turn by turn voice guide direction . ca not wait to take a trip ! way to go AMAZON , excellent deal !! +444 GPS POS 5 this be we second Garmin . we first Nuvi map be out of date and do not reflect the change during we recent trip . buy the 1450lmt because of its 5 inch screen . so far work as state in feature . very happy with this unit and the life time map update . +981 GPS POS 4 buy this one to replace the one I leave in a rental car . it be identical and work great when you use the sticky pad to hold on dash . Mark +354 GPS POS 5 I buy the Garmin GPS for my husband for Christmas and use it on we trip to Myrtle Beach . it be wonderful not have to check map to find we way especially at night ! the voice be very calm and let we know in advance when to turn . it make for a very enjoyable trip . I highly recommend it ! +899 GPS NEG 2 bottom warped and constantly slide off dash . Poor product . I would not recomend it . Navgear have a better dash mopunt . +490 GPS POS 4 so far I have only use the 1300t locally , mostly to find meeting location for my business . the unit have be easy to use and have work perfectly . the traffic feature have be helpful in avoid rush hour traffic . I look forward to try it on a trip in the near future . +179 GPS POS 5 this product be what I need to hold and charge my cell while drive . it hold the phone securely and stay in the lighter socket while drive . zthe charge port work well and the additional lighter socket allow another device to be plug in . +795 GPS NEU 3 I have this unit for about a week , and the gp functionality work great . my main complaint be the connectivity . it come with a rs232 serial cable , which be ancient . if you want to use this with a Mac , or a pc without this connector , a $ 20 adapter be necessary . with that in mind , you might as well spend a extra $ 35 and get the eTrex Venture HC . it have a high sensitivity chip , usb connectivity , color screen , 3 x memory , geocach mode , etc. . Garmin be brilliant in differentiate they product just enough that make you want to spend $ 35 for the next model up . in my opinion , they purposely cripple the connectivity on this to make the more expensive model within reach . rs232 serial be ancient , and I do not believe it be any cheaper for Garmin to produce this unit with rs232 over the 12 year old standard mini usb connector . it be they prerogative to sell what they want at the price point of they choosing , but I would not recommend this unit . pony up $ 35 more and get the Venture HC . +961 GPS POS 4 I recently move to the Phoenix area and have to drive all over the Valley . this unit do live up to they promise out of the box . if you go to Garmin 's website , you can download update driver , computer to c320 unit interface that allow you to customize the unit for you purpose . with the standard sd card slot , you can upload huge area with good detail . the address or site imput be quick and easy and the detail be so good that it will even tell you on which side of the street a location be . this unit save I so much time and trouble travel from point to point . I can not wait to download 3d topo map for off-higway driving . +839 GPS POS 5 it do everything I expect it to do and they some . I have use it for over a month now and it have not freeze up once . the other brand `` nextar x3-02 '' I try freeze up several time each trip . the cost at Amazon be the best I find . one to two hundred dollar less the all the big retail store . I would recommend that you download the manual from the Garmin web site and read it . every review I read that say it would not do something I be able to find out how to do it by read the download manual . I do have to call the support desk to find out how to set a location as my start point other then the one I be located at , so that I could map a route form that other location . I be able to get a person after a 20 minute wait . better then the average support telephone # form today 's service department . and the person I speak with be helpful and knowledgeable . he explain how to view the map with the GPS off , go to a location and then pick set location . the manual tell how to set a location but do not explain that be what need to be do to route a map form some location other then you current location . the manual be a must if you want to get the most usage out of you unit . I would recommend this unit to anyone that want a dependable unit . +663 GPS NEG 1 I give the 1450lmt to my wife for Xmas . I have register it and update the map 3 time . however , the Garmin briefly flash a message `` no technical detail ... '' and then go to another screen . so , I have not read the entire message yet . but , update the map take 39 minute on my high speed line . so , this have already take nearly 4 hour follow a 4 hour charge period , and I have accomplish nothing . I send a message to Garmin and the automatic response state they try to respond to all email within 3 day . I read several negative review prior to purchase the 1450 , and now I wish I have not bother . the 1450 simply be not ready for the market . +675 GPS POS 4 I be lead to belief that I would have map update for free for the life time of the unit , but update be quit price , that be a not so welcome surprise . +167 GPS POS 5 I love this product ! I have to say that you can take it out of the box plug it in , and begin navigate you way to happiness . it be very easy to use . my favorite feature , need gas ? just push the gas button from the menu . need to eat ? Press the food button from the menu . Voila , food at you finger with the phone number if you need to make reservation . Garmin vs. other product ... I have have other brand , and have play recently with another brand . they do not have the easy interface like the Garmin . I want to look further down the road on other and could not figure it out . with the Garmin ... just touch the screen , and drag it to the area you would like to look . +308 GPS NEG 2 these thing be not inexpensive , especially for a college student , but I run a lot and want something to help chart my progress . the first thing I notice be the poor reception . it take about 5-6 minute of clear sky to sync with you local satellite , but that be not as much of a hassle as it might seem . just turn on the unit when you leave the house , do you stretch outside , and it should be ready by the time you be . the other issue be that it lose the signal often ; if you live in a area with tall building , mountain , wooded area , telephone pole , or flock of goose fly overhead , you can expect to hear the `` Sync lose '' beep at least a few time whenever you go out . this be not a huge issue unless you be run around the block in a urban area as the device be smart enough to `` connect the dot '' between where you be when it lose the signal and where you be when it regain the signal . if you be run in more or less a straight line the result will come out within 10 % of true distance . if you be the type of person who care whether you have go 8 mile in the last hour or 9 , invest in a map . despite the signal issue , I would have give the unit 3 or even 4 star . you can account for the syncing time by stretch outside , and you can adjust for the distance error by add 5-10 % at the end of you run . the reason it get two star be that my lcd display start fail after about a month and less than 100 mile . it be still usable for another month or so -lrb- in that I could figure `` ok this be either a 6 or a 8 , and I know I run more than 6 ... -rrb- , and then the display fail completely and the device become a gp paperweight . I realize this be almost certainly a qc issue and you be not likely to get a bum unit like I do , so it get 2 star instead of 1 . it be useless to I , though . +465 GPS POS 5 it do not always take you on the right path but it get you where you want to go . it be easy to program and easy to use . I love it and now I will not get lose look for new place to go . product ship on time and arrive in perfect condition . +272 GPS NEU 3 nice unit for the money . however I buy the Lifetime Maps model , but actually receive the standard model . pay $ 50 for the v43 update in August 2011 , and now it be time to pay again . actually I would rather buy a new unit that really do have lifetime map . +121 GPS POS 5 I have be run for a few year and I be currently train for my third marathon . I have spend thousand of dollar on shoe , sock , supplement , shorts , rub , headphone , etc etc etc. . this be by far the very best return on investment I have get . it be simple to use , if you can use a smart phone you can figure out most of the feature without read the manual . I think base on the review it be the best combination of feature , display , quality and price available and I be right . this really be a excellent product and I can not wait to use it over and over . +181 GPS POS 5 will get you anywhere you want to go with ease !! great product , would highly recommend . . +533 GPS POS 5 after review different gp unit -lrb- c320 , c330 , Street pilot , etc -rrb- , I finally pull my trigger and buy the c340 . this be the first GPS unit I have ever own . when I receive the unit , I turn it on right away . I do not even look at the menu -lrb- 1 page -rrb- before I start use it . very straight forward and very easy to use . I would say it be very easy to overcome the learning curve with the c340 . so far I dont see any major problem except get poor signal after `` sit '' under a bridge over several minute or lose signal in the basement inside a structure . I believe this be not really a problem as other gp -lrb- s -rrb- have the same problem and plus that make no sense to use the gp inside a structure . this unit have a sd card slot and I may buy the Europe Map CD to test it in Europe ... . if I have a chance . pro : Compact , easy to use , good battery life con : hmm ... get poor signal after `` sit '' under the bridge under a while conclusion : the unit do exactly what it should -- take you to the destination in the shortest distance . but of course , it do not have the AI : 1 -rrb- to make short cut like get into some side street 2 -rrb- take stop sign into account +631 GPS POS 4 after a high recommendation we purchase the Garmen 350 . it be wonderful . the kid call she `` Miss Bossy '' because she direct we every move . +145 GPS NEG 2 this be my first TomTom GPS , I buy it to replace my older Garmin GPS . this TomTom do not pronounce street name and highway name correctly , that can be confuse if you be not familiar with the area you be drive in . also , the street name turn by turn be only available on one of the program voice -lrb- susan-american English -rrb- there be many voice to choose from for free already program on the unit . I do not like the window mount , it be difficult to mount the GPS unit onto the mount , and the mount often fall off the window . during a recent trip to Phoenix area , the GPS would tell we there be a quicker route off the freeway , we try it once and it actually take we onto a side road , through multiple traffic light ... that take we longer ! I have have my unit for only 6 month , and the display screen be freeze . talk to several people at customer service be frustrating , a couple of people there do not know enough about `` customer service '' just give I vague answer and the runaround . finally speak to somebody that know they job and tell I to return the unit , and they 'll replace it with another one , not new-refurbished ! however , they do not want the unit send back USPS , only Fed ex or UPS which be quite expensive . I be take it back to Costco where I buy it , receipt in hand all the bit and piece in the box and exchange for a new one ... . Garmin be more reliable and easier to use . the feature I do like be the lane guidance and display screen be big and easy to read . +280 GPS NEU 3 if you do a search for frozen 1490t , you 'll find some unsettling result . Mine freeze . I be able to unfreeze it , but it be a 2.5 hour ordeal . if you need a reliable gp immediately before a big trip , this may not be the GPS for you . the trick be to get the software update from 4.4 to 4.9 as soon as possible to minimize the risk of a frozen gp . other than that , work as advertise . one other disappointment be that lifetime traffic mean lifetime traffic sponsor by advertisement `` pop up '' on the GPS . not cool . +696 GPS NEG 2 unless you catch it , I have unplug the until from a rental car and not notice the end screw hold the fuse have come off and I be leave with a worthless cable after I discover the situation when I get home . yeah it be my fault but it be still poorly design -- I have have two other unit just stop work -lrb- after the warranty of course -rrb- . +250 GPS POS 5 this be my second Garmin 305 and the first last five or six year . the battery need replace which cost almost as much as a new one . +455 GPS POS 4 I receive a Garmin Nuvi 350 through Amazon at a substantial savings to best buy , etc. . out of the box I be able to turn it on and use it to find a banquet I have to go to that night . I do not even have to enter the address , I just enter the name of the banquet hall and it take I right there . there be almost no learning curve and it have not let I down yet as far as accuracy . this include a recent trip to Colorado for skiing . +423 GPS POS 5 I update from a 4.3 inch screen . really nice unit , I use it to travel the Midwest in my work ! the price be right & shipping be fast . I be very satisfied ! +442 GPS NEG 1 the description say you can use this for a Magellan Roadmate 3055 which be what I have . in fact , it will not fit . I be sure if you have a smaller Roadmate version it will fit but NOT a 3055 . the seller need to update the misleading description . thanks . +356 GPS NEG 2 we use this on trip to Italy and Iceland and find it be unreliable enough that we use paper map and avoid this when we could . we have a earlier Nuvi -lrb- 255 -rrb- that we like , so it be not the overall brand . there be two type of problem : - it reset itself without we do anything . my guess be that when there be momentary blip in voltage , it sens the charger be unplugged and replugged , it reset itself and usually take a couple of minute to go through the Garmin screen to be useful again . the cigarette lighter charger connection be flaky enough that a device need to be tolerant of such change . -lrb- this happen in 2 rental car , so it be not a bad cigarette lighter . -rrb- the same thing happen when the usb connection in the back of the GPS be bump . on a highway the reset might not be a big deal - but when you actually need it in navigate italian city , have it stop work be a major problem . worse be when sometimes it would show a startup screen -lrb- show a icon of it connect to a computer -rrb- and it would not restart itself - usually hold the power button down would get it to stop so we could restart it , but several time it just hang . - in italian town and city , it would tell we to turn the wrong way on 1-way street -lrb- happen twice in Cremona -rrb- . more subtly -lrb- this I can understand , but it be a notable concern -rrb- , it could not differentiate between medieval street and major boulevard : it would have direction zigzag through the narrow street that be charming when you be on foot , but really should not be navigate by anything larger that a Fiat 500 or Smart car - and subsequently we would find that we would start a block from a main road that a human would have direct we to . again , a paper map be preferable . +194 GPS NEG 2 I buy this product for ~ $ 450 in Feb 2007 , and it work till now very well . we have travel extensively on the east coast and the west coast and this unit be a great accessory on we trip . but very recently the unit freeze , it fail to connect to satellite . upon further research I find that this be a very common problem and the only solution be to return the unit for repair . I be return the unit , since I be out of warranty they want to charge another $ 50 for repair but they waive it off . I do not expect such a expensive thing to get these kind of problem just after 1 year . and it be not just my unit , many other people be get such problem . even 660 and 360 have these bug . +825 GPS NEU 3 garmin 1490-t have a very impressive list of feature , but they relibility fall far short from the advertisement . Bluetooth : work about 75 % of the time . traffic report : totally inaccurate . Lane assist : work in about 50 % of the time you need it to work -lrb- could be that we highway in Dallas be too confusing for Garmin -rrb- . I be sell mine on eBay and go with another brand . I hope you experience be better than mine . +169 GPS POS 4 update review 12\/10\/2004 : First , I guess I can not lower the star ranking from the original review . otherwise , after 6 + month use I would now give this a 3 instead of 4 . after many run and race with this , I have now get 3 main complaint : 1 . as many other reviewer have note , it do not work under tree . I have be surprise that even now in the fall and winter , with all the leaf off of tree , bare leafless tree limb can still block out the signal . if you run a route that go anywhere near tree for more than 50 yard , you can count on the signal get lose and the distance be off . 2 . apparently the display be suppose to have a backlight . I just notice that in read a review elsewhere . the backlight on mine have never work . 3 . so , I go to garmin 's tech support site last week to fill in a support query about the backlight . it be be a full week since I submit my question and I have not receive even a acknowledgement of the question , let alone a answer or help . that be inexcusable . original review from May , 2004 follow : I have the Timex speed and Distance system before this and use it for about 18 month . I have have my Garmin for a week now . the Timex seem to be very accurate and consistent . if I run the same course , the Timex always measure a 3-7 mile run to within a few foot of the same distance time after time . when run in a race , the Timex seem to be within 1 % of the measure distance all the time . give that I might not always be run the shortest distance , I think that be great . the downfall of the Timex be the bulky 2 piece system , the lack of pc connectivity -lrb- at least with the older one I have -rrb- , and it eat AAA battery like a elephant . the Garmin be nice because it be smaller , one piece , and rechargable . the big screen be also configurable and let I see more datum at a glance . it also give I automatic mile split -lrb- have to do that manually on the Timex - easy to miss one or forget -rrb- . the 5000 lap , 2 year history be a godsend . I can not count the number of time I get out with my Timex to start a new run only to realize that I have not log the previous day 's run and have to wipe it out to start today 's . the history feature on the Garmin save that . I do not have any problem get the Garmin to find the satellite the first time as have be report by other user . however , in the first week I have have it , I would say so far it be less consistent in measure than the Timex be . I run the same course yesterday as today and have to run about 50 yard further to make 2 mile than yesterday . that be a bigger margin of error than I would like . the software and pc connectivity be great . I love be able to automatically download my run to the pc . but , as other people have point out , the serial connection be slow and a stunningly bad choice instead of usb . also , it be disappointing that you can not manually enter a run into the log book - if you run on a treadmill for example and want to keep all of you run in one log book . a shoe mileage tracker would also be a great addition for the software . the true measure of the Garmin 's accuracy will come after a few race . if it be way off then , I may change my tune but for now , it be good enough to be well worth the investment of replace the old Timex . and , a much better deal than the way overprice new Timex . +451 GPS NEU 3 I purchase this unit and be highly excite with get a gp that be large enough for my aging eye to program and see . I be also aware of my husband warning that I need to go to the store and purchase the item so I could see that it really be not a return or a refurbish item . I tell he that it be a `` new '' item as describe in all of the purchasing detail . the GPS arrive as schedule but be not new , the box have a `` new '' round sticky over the original round sticky that seal the box that have be slice open , the GPS itself have the seal that be place over a `` original '' purchase item re-stuck to the back of the gp and the thin film that surrond the unit be fragmented and less than adhering to the GPS . I be so disappointed , I be now unsure of exactly what I receive . it may have be a return and never be use , but do that make it `` new '' . have it be `` refurbish '' , I do not want refurbish , I want what I assume I be purchase and now I do not have a clue what I have . you have take the joy out of my purchase and I will not be back . shame on Amazon ... +97 GPS POS 5 this thing work great . I be a military soldier and have to run . I have always struggle with my run time for physical fitness test . now I have a virtual partner that keep I on pace and help to inprove my time by keep track of my lap , mileage , and split . get this product . you will not be disappointed ! +790 GPS NEU 3 we buy this just before Christmas , but will be take it back . overall , it be a pretty good unit , we like the interface and display particularly , but the problem that we have see with it be enough to make we send it back . basically , the point of interest -lrb- pous -rrb- database be very suspect . if you have no interest in use it , that probably will not matter to you , but if you do , good luck . it be not so much that the database be out of date , it be also wildly inaccurate . we find that if you enter a address as a Go to , the GPS work wonderful 100 % of the time . however , if you use the pous -lrb- eg : `` find I the nearest mcdonald '' -rrb- it work maybe 20 % of the time . some example : 1 -rrb- accord to the 2720 , we local Super target be to be find about ten block east of where it actually be . there be also apparently a church directly across the street from it -lrb- church be actually about a mile northwest of there -rrb- 2 -rrb- in Eau Claire , Wisconsin , when we ask for `` Food '' , and pick the nearest mcdonald from the result list , we be take to the mcdonald regional headquarters , past a actual restaurant , which have not appear on the list 3 -rrb- South of Indianapolis , we search for the nearest Waffle House , and , follow the 2720 direction , end up in a part of town with no Waffle House , nothing even resemble one that have recently go out of business 4 -rrb- in Gatlinburg , tn , it tell we that the Park Grill be on the left side of the street when it be , in fact , on the right . no big deal , except that the street be pack , and we be unable to switch lane 5 -rrb- also in Tennessee , we be tell that the nearest `` Texas Roadhouse '' be about forty mile away . we be in the parking lot of a `` Texas Roadhouse '' at the time 6 -rrb- in Bloomington , Illinois , we ask to be route to the Ramada Inn and Suites . the 2720 take we right past the hotel and , when the `` Ramada Inn and Suites , on the right '' message come on , we be in a residential neighborhood about two block away the list go on and on . if Garmin replace the current pous database with something more accurate -lrb- and at no cost ! -rrb- this will be the unit to own . until that happen , you be far better off with something else . +793 GPS POS 5 receive the item , plug it into my computer for the download of map and register , whole thing only take about 20 minute to update and install . I do not know what other people have complain about here , but I give this 5 star . I be pleasantly surprise that it come with a mount and car charger . +114 GPS POS 4 this be a good product . very reliable and show real time datum every second . the gp however get a bit in a difficulty if you make a unscheduled stop in you travel . +907 GPS POS 5 se lo regale a mi mama , es muy comodo y facil de usar , por otro lado el a & ntilde ; os libre es fabuloso , se conecta automatico al ensenderce el gp . lo recomiendo por su tama & ntilde ; o y facil oxidad de usar +614 GPS POS 4 great bang for buck . pro : have a lot of feature . first 2 unit I receive -lrb- one for car , one for truck -rrb- be bad & have to be exchange . thanks to Amazon for fast turn around -lrb- 2 day -rrb- . one have a bad dvd player `` bad disc '' with any dvd I put in . also have a hi pitch whine on the bluetooth source . would not go away unless I turn the car off & back on then quickly change source . second unit would constantly open the motorized screen & continue run the motor non stop . frustrating since I have to spend several hour trouble shoot & remove the unit . receive the 2 replacement unit -lrb- overnight shipping , thanks again Amazon -rrb- and install they . some minor quirk but over all good . install the 1st in my truck - the ipod cable sometimes do not play right channel audio . have to squeeze the adapter & wiggle it . the 2nd install in my wife car , the 4gb sd card for gp be bad on arrival . luckily I have order 2 & copy the software from the 1st sd card onto my laptop . then buy a new card at Walmart -lrb- also 4 gb -rrb- and paste the information onto the new card . put it in & good to go . I 'll be contact the manufacturer for a replacement ipod cable and sd card . will also be ask about the map update as all update I have attempt thus far fail . Edit : I still have not contact the manufacturer for replacement of the defective item . I 'll be do that Monday . additional information - this be my first in depth diy car audio\/video install . I end up around 15 hour per vehicle . this involve the head unit , door & dash speakers\/tweeters , rear view camera , subwoofer under seat & custom dash aux input -lrb- rca for video , 1\/8 '' stereo for audio -rrb- . if you have some electronic knowledge & be patient this be not a terrible diy project . if you be not electronically knowledgeable & a patient person ... I highly suggest get this professionally install . have use they drive around town & on a 6 hour road trip . I have notice a few thing . first - I wish the reset between touch screen press be faster . you can only press button so fast , about 1-2 time a second . while this do not seem like a big deal , it make a difference for those who want to turn the volume up\/down quickly , cycle through page on you ipod . second - make and receive phone call . if you have a disc playing , it will pause the movie to switch to the bluetooth feature . if the call drop you have to wait 10-20 seconds before make the call again or you call will connect without audio or mic input . third - sometimes the GPS datum fail to load & throw a error . click yes will reset you setting . beware . this be a unit that be very affordable & offer many feature . there be some bug . for anyone well verse in window & program the Windows CE 6.0 environment can do some cool thing . +382 GPS NEG 1 just about impossible to get on the lens on the screen of a gp -lrb- Garmin Oregon 550t -rrb- perfectly . by the time you put it on the lens be dirty with fingerprint . Perfect be about immposible . +579 GPS POS 5 like the first Nuvi . only have it for two week and it be steal . like the first one well enough to replace it with same model . +392 GPS NEG 1 it be strong and have lot of grip . but too heavy . it be not comfortable ... can not fit in carry-in baggage ... do not waste money . I be not use this any more ... go back to original stand provide by Magellan . +152 GPS POS 5 this gp be purchase for Geocaching . I do not think you can get a better gp . the new enhance receiving be fantastic . I can lock on to 7 satellite while in my basement . no more worry about tree and cloud cover block the signal ! map be great ! I can even use it if my automobile gp die on I . +81 GPS POS 5 order this at the same time as order a Cobra XRS 9340 . I be very please with the design & function of this device . as i see it it be a must have since the original suction cup that come with most laser\/radar warner be crap . +874 GPS NEG 1 on main road it be ok , but in the country it useless . it take the long way no matter how hard you try major road be miss . it be a toy at best +545 GPS POS 5 I have a gp v that I really like and this be one of the best add-on for it or any Garmin GPS . the gp v come with the require mount bracket , and other model do too , but if not , you need to make sure you get it along with this . this friction mount be relatively small but stay well on all dashboard I have use it on . it be pretty flat so it travel well in a suitcase or carry-on bag . it allow you to position the unit in the most appropriate spot in the vehicle and then use the clap attach to the GPS , adjust the angle of the display so it be optimal . Detaching and re-attach the clamp unit with the friction mount could not be easier . for such a small and inexpensive add-on , I could not ask for more . +72 GPS NEG 1 less than one year and the gp do not work at all ! . I have a gp 60 CSX that have be serve I for year . I buy this one expect the same reliability , plus the map capability . the unit have freeze for ever , it be not able to finish the load cycle and there be no way to solve it . since I live out the US get service be cumbersone and such a poor quality be not acceptable on equiptment so critical . +672 GPS POS 4 I love my Garmin . my only complaint be that it take about a minute to find a satellite in New York City - but that be probably a flaw with the city and not the Garmin . it be a teeny bit bigger than I would like , but it have really push I to run faster and more consistently . it free I up to get off the treadmill and get outside . I have never use a competitor , so I can not compare it to that , but if you be consider go from nothing to a Garmin , I say go for it ! +620 GPS POS 4 I buy this device to help I pace my run . it do a decent job at it when it can get the necessary signal . unfortunately , it lose signal pretty often . I be look at the output of the run log program , and it show that I reach a run speed of 20 mile a hour at one point . well , I can hardly get up to that speed on a bike . the error be obviously cause by the lose of signal . because of this , the device be good but not great . +836 GPS POS 5 as a high handicapper I likely need a golf gp like I need a second wife , but since my wife have just go out and buy a lot of clothes which I do not think she need , I decide to act like a spoil brat and buy something for myself . not only be it easy to use , but it actually be beneficial . I quickly appreciate that my visual estimate to the pin could be off as much as 2 club . I have save on average 3-4 stroke per hole since I buy this item -lrb- I tell you I have a high handicap -rrb- . in addition , my wife who initially say , `` it be a waste of money '' , now ask I for she yardage or ask I to measure how far she have drive she ball . if you decide to buy a golf gp go with Garmin . other then a short battery life -lrb- buy rechargeable battery -rrb- , it be terrific . bye the way , I initially buy a Calloway GPS . that be terrible and be return the very next week . +307 GPS NEG 2 either the software information on the device be outdate or it be badly flaw as sometimes it choose route that appear go in a near circle . the alternative route would have be much shorter and logical . +507 GPS POS 4 very easy to use , right out of the box . very intuitive menu system and easy to use touch screen . if you want a very simply GPS Nav system , this fit the bill . there be no desktop application to speak of , which I would have like and you only get two warning about turn , one at the very last minute and I miss a turn or two at first . I would like a intermediate warning , but that come from have use another system . I get this for my son who get lose all the time and call I for direction - at all hour - and it have make a hugh differernt in both we life . +31 GPS POS 5 I love this Garmin product ! I own several Garmin product , and I have never have any issue with they ! my wife and I be avid biker , and use this every time we ride or go run ! +36 GPS POS 4 this my 2nd Garmin I have have . I like the feature that let you see ETA , mile remain , speed and elevation along with the map , all at the same time . also it it acquire the satellite signal quicker than my old Garmin 260 . dislike the time it take to update map. , about 1.5 hr . +243 GPS POS 5 the Garmin Zumo 220 GPS be simply the perfect Navi System for motorcycle on the market right now ... +421 GPS NEG 1 review of nuvi 1490lmt strike 1 - it take over 6 hour to register and update to the latest map -lrb- t1 connection -rrb- . Garmin will not work with any browser other than Explorer and it have to be a older version . strike 2 - first long trip -lrb- it estimate 6.5 hour -rrb- it direct I to travel a road load with small town and stop light . I think that it would have add a estimate stop light time into the trip but it do not . it would have be faster to take the highway -lrb- a extra 40 mile , but would have save 20 min . and lot of gas -rrb- strike 3 - second trip drive around dc it get lose and take I right downtown next to the National mall -lrb- I know there it a lot of construction but the map be suppose to be update quarterly -rrb- after several wrong turn , I find my own way back the direction I need to go . strike 4 - -lrb- I only need three to decide I be send it back -rrb- advertisement ! very annoying . strike 5 - very hard to view the planned map . touch screen move around on its own . strike 6 - when view the full set of datum , the map screen be half size . no way to adjust window size . +228 GPS POS 5 Works as promise . it be not as complicate as it look and be a huge step up from Nike + and Adidas micoach product . +861 GPS NEU 3 I have use this product for run and biking workout for a little while , and I have really enjoy its functionality . although a little bulky , it be a great training tool and provide all need information . the only real negative of this watch be its lifespan . as I be train for a triathlon , the watch just quit working . it work fine one day and then two day later , it would not turn on . I could get the watch to turn on when it be on the charger and plug in , but as soon as it come off the charger , it would shut off and would not turn on - the obvious sign of a rechargeable battery that will no longer hold a charge . I understand that this happen to rechargeable battery , but I feel that this quit long before the watch reach a reasonable lifespan . base on the rate of use , I would estimate that I make maybe 50 charge of the battery -lrb- probably fewer -rrb- . each charge get I about 3 workout , so at Garmin 's suggest retail price , that work out to pay $ 2 per workout to get this information . the watch be nice , but not worth $ 2 a workout - a gym membership would be much cheaper but I do not like treadmill or stationary bike . I be currently look for a different product and would recommend other do the same . +159 GPS POS 5 thanks , it arrive on time , package the way it be describe . it be a nice Christmas present for my soldier who be get ready to deploy overseas . +512 GPS POS 4 my wife & I have EVO 3D phone , so I purchase this device , through she account , to charge from my Lexus rx400h . while some of the review say the device be cheaply construct , the one I receive appear to be make good enough to last . perhaps they have change the manufacturing process and be ship better item . I have see much more fragile car charger . my main reason for order this item vs the other available be the charge capacity . while EVO 3d be not the power hog of a ipad -lrb- which require 2 amp -rrb- the EVO 3d will charge faster if they have 1 amp . the phone will charge on the standard 0.5 amp of a regular usb port , it just take longer -lrb- overnight for the extended battery -rrb- . this unit appear to be charge we phone fine , and allow use they while charge . I still use Sprint TeleNav , even though the rx400h hybrid have a good GPS & map display as standard equipment . my only con be not that significant , but it would look even nicer if it do not stick out as far from my dashboard console . at first I think it be not fully insert , the outside ridge should go back so it appear insert correctly . while I believe the unit will be durable , it could be make stronger . a simple ring -lrb- metal , plastic or rubber shrink wrap -rrb- around the body of the unit would strengthen it considerably and provide the ridge mention above to make it appear insert correctly . I put a 3\/8 '' band of rubber shrink wrap tubing around mine -lrb- just behind the outer section -rrb- which make it look even better . ejt +863 GPS POS 5 it be easy to use and of a low price . I do not buy the upgrade package . the map have meet with all my need . +331 GPS POS 5 nice little camera . good size and comfortable in you hand . have not use it under water yet but take good picture otherwise . purchase this one because I have two other Nikon camera and they have never fail I . I totally trust this brand . +597 GPS NEG 1 great idea and form factor let down by miserable online experience , weak user interface and poor service feature . specifically , as note by other reviewer , Garmin 's online service be more frequently down than available - consequently the ability to track you precious item\/pet be meaningless as you be unable to query the system more than , by my estimate , 20 % of the time -lrb- I have be flagging this to Garmin for the past 5 day but who , for the time be , deny that there be any issue with they service availability -rrb- . the track history be only available for 24 hour unless you buy a higher-level package - combine this with the fact that you can not actually access the history for more than a fraction of when you need , you might as well not bother . there be multiple other gp tracking system -lrb- eg the spot SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger unit and quality -lrb- better gp recognition and reporting -rrb- . I will be return my Garmin GTU 10 to the shop at the weekend as I have simply have enough of waste my time try to get Garmin to recognize they be disappointing customer . +667 GPS POS 5 my Garmin GPS V Deluxe have prove to be very useful . after a learning curve of several attempt , I be able to use this with ease for yard sale and short trip to neighbor town . my wife be usually befuddle by electronics and be even able to use the GPS for a recent trip after I set up a location for she to find , several day before she take she trip . +65 GPS NEG 1 I find that my HP LaserJet 1012 printer be no longer support after upgrade to Windows 7 , and even though I find a workaround that allow my Windows 7 machine to use it , I could not share the printer on my home network with Windows xp client . so , I buy this unit to host my printer on the network . initially , upon setup , I be able to use it with all client . however , it have now be install for a few month and I have find that I often need to power cycle the unit and sometimes reboot the computer , too , in order to make it work . I be now outside of the return window , so that be $ 38 waste . +480 GPS NEG 1 if you wonder why the 340 cost more than the 350 , read the review . this be the DumDum TomTom . the menu be simplify for you convenience and if that be not you idea of a good thing , you should move on . I do not really have a problem with that . what I have a problem with be TomTom break the unit \* after \* I buy it ! I buy this unit because it would read street name . I get it home , do all the update , and figure out which voice I need to use to have the street name announce . then I go for a drive to test the unit , and the street name be not announce . I check to make sure I have the right voice work and even seek out more major street , think that it might not be able to recognize the smaller street . finally , I go home and check out the support forum . turn out that the latest update of the device software break the street name if the volume be set above 80 or 85 % . the volume at 80 % be not enough to hear the unit over freeway noise and moderate radio volume . TomTom acknowledge that they latest update break the street name and say they will fix it `` in a future update . '' great ! nothing like remotely render you product defective . I 'll wait about a week for a software fix and then return the item . if you would like to avoid the hassle , avoid the product . +445 GPS POS 5 Works great . very accurate gp . I like the soft rubber on the chest band . fit better than the Nike or Polaris I try . just wish it be a little cheaper . +460 GPS POS 4 great value with the lifetime update . first setup do take a long time . have to log on a couple of time to get it do . have a Garmin , about 3 yr old , the graphic be way better . +561 GPS POS 5 I receive the Garmin eTrex Legend as a Christmas gift . I have enjoy use it both in my car and while walk through town . it take a minute or so to connect with the satellite and then give you you latitude and longitude . while drive I let it hang from my neck so that when it be safe I can check it . if it be mount on the dashboard I would not be able to read it . the mileage travel be easily read and compare closely to what you get on the car 's odometer . I have find it fun to use thus far . I need to use the instruction book to learn some additional feature . +681 GPS POS 5 best Garmin I have own . use if for geocach , backpacking , and hunting . have work very well in heavy forest cover and deep canyon . accuracy be excellent . only difficulty encounter be in find a good screen color for night viewing . +320 GPS POS 4 excellent price but I think add the bluetooth feature be a necessary item for GPS . I prefer bluetoothe my cell phone to the GPS for handsfree operation . +952 GPS POS 5 this Nuvi be a great product . have a Street pilot before and the Nuvi take a little time to get use to the difference but well worth the little extra effort . the only problem so far have be try to download the map update . love the slim design and larger screen . glad I buy it and would again . +918 GPS POS 5 Great GPS . my old Garmin be four year old and miss the charger . the suction cup keep fall off of it . I purchase this one for a trip to South Florida . it work like a charm . great investment for someone who travel . it be idiot proof ! +789 GPS POS 5 sadly , I misplace the original interface cable that come with the etrex . however this have work well and allow I to update the firmware . and , if need , have the dc car adapter as well . +373 GPS NEG 1 I purchase two of these unit the first one work ok . the second one have a problem . in a side by side comparison the signal quality of the two unit vary . I check there accuracy and tracking with oziexplorer move map software . the first unit track pretty good , but the second unit position be off a large percentage of the time and sometimes as much as 400 meter . I send the faulty unit to Garmin to be repair . they send it back with a description of the problem and that it have be fix . I check the unit out and it be the same as when I send it to they . now I be stick with a dud . +548 GPS POS 5 very please with the TomTom one , right out of the box it work beautifully . already charge and load with very detailed , very accurate map , it be amazingly simple to use . I be please with the speed and responsiveness of the unit . no apparent lag time when first turn on or while in use . the `` clear and accurate turn-by-turn voice instruction '' be just as promise . the sound quality be very good and the volume self adjust to compensate for engine or road noise . while I find the monitor easy to see even in bright sunlight , the voice instruction make watch the screen unnecessary . the unit have many more useful feature than I expect and I find that I use they more than I expect to . the `` point of interest '' information for thing such as gas station , restaurant , etc have prove to be very accurate , easy to use and useful . no more guess what be at the next exit and how far away . the compact size of the TomTom one be a important feature to I since it be not a good idea to leave these unit in the car -lrb- too tempting for theive -rrb- . it be small , thin and easy to carry but do not compromise screen size . as inexpensive as this unit have become along with the quality of the product , you can not lose . +959 GPS POS 4 I own 6 gpss and use they on my bicycle , boat , canoe , car , truck and while hiking\/hunting . all be Garmin product . I like the 1450 so much that we now have 2 in the family . for the price , it can not be beat . +930 GPS POS 5 excellent unit . work very well under heavy canopy . we search and rescue team be equip with these . I have to buy my own +198 GPS POS 4 I have this item for two week now and so far I can say I be pleased with some watch out . the watch be small and lightweight -lrb- consider it have a gp -rrb- and the basic function work perfectly . most positive feature be : 1 . fast gp pairing 2 . once you setup , the information be easy to read 3 . simple upload to the Training Center software on the other side , I have many reservation with the touch bezel ... I imagine that a gp watch should be make for people that be use it for advanced training -lrb- multi-sport and\/or off road training -rrb- . I do not notice that the watch be not intend for swimming , for instance -lrb- yes , it be not water-proof -rrb- . and , although the bezel sensitivity have increase substantially versus the 405 model , sometimes it be a pain to use it with bike full-finger glove . since I also do lot of trail-running and adventure racing , I also acquire the foot pod and the bike sensor -lrb- to guarantee longer battery life and to avoid lose gp signal in a dense part of the trail -rrb- . so far both be work just fine . I also believe there be too much complexity on the setup process -lrb- training page , shut down operation , accessory calibration , etc -rrb- . I still could not find a place that summarize how much time I spend in each Heart Rate zone in a give workout -lrb- my training be mainly base on this -rrb- . the bottom line : very good equipment with lot of easy to ready information : pace , distance , hr , elevation , speed and all the detail for a better training plan . it have some opportunity in term of complexity and interface . I still think it be one of the best gp enable hr monitor in the market . UPDATE : after a couple of week I will give it a extra star -lrb- from previous 3 star -rrb- . the reason be : 1 . I manage to manipulate the bezel with full-finger glove . it take some time but now I be able to do it . 2 . I finally manage to find all the information I need in the Training Center -lrb- specifically how much time I spend in each hr zone -rrb- . it be under the ` total ' tab . the lack of the 5th star be for the complex setup process and for not be waterproof . +136 GPS NEG 2 I buy this for my boyfriend and it work okay for nearly 2 year . by that time , the unit do not hold a charge at all so it have to be continuously plug in or you would have to plug it in and restart it . also , the map get very out of date and it would have be expensive to upgrade they - I think it would be better to get a new gp , but my bf keep use it until its last die breath , which be rather painful since it seem like every time he take it on a trip with he , when he bring it back the touch screen would not work any more . this make it completely unusable , but then after a while it would decide to start work again . the calibration also get off all the time , so we would start a trip and try to punch in the information and even the security code would be near impossible to type in so it would take forever to unlock it , recalibrate and then finally put in the destination . there be no way either of we would buy a gp again without it have the lifetime map feature , but because of all the problem I be not too sure about buy anything that be a Garmin . right now he be use he iPhone to get drive direction when necessary , which come with it be own unique problem and restriction , and sometimes just he brain which be probably the best if you be at all familiar with the area you be drive but also come with it be own unique problem -lrb- haha -rrb- but definitely search for a stand-alone gp unit that will be better than this be . +240 GPS POS 4 I pick up one of the Tomtom Ease GPS unit , when Woot ! have they for $ 29.99 . I figure before this , that my handheld GPS unit or my wife 's smartphone would work just as well , and in some way , they do . however , on we recent vacation to Oahu , I take the ease along and use it in the rental car . I do not think I will ever travel to a different city without it now . be able to enter a address , and have clear , easy-to-follow direction on how to get there , sure beat the heck out of try to figure out a good route from a paper map , and especially beat the heck out of try to remember the route from the paper map while drive . if we decide to detour -lrb- or , if because of traffic congestion in downtown , I could not change lane to make the next turn -rrb- , the unit automatically calculate a amend route , and in most case , give a pretty good ETA base on its programming of the route and we current driving condition . my wife 's smartphone sometimes have problem figure out where we be , or how to get where we want to go , but so long as we be not inside a tunnel or a parking structure , the ease lock onto the gp signal fairly quickly , and then calculate the best route . about the only time I have a problem enter a address , be when I inadvertantly select the wrong city -lrb- there be two city of the same name , only in different county . at first , I choose the wrong one -rrb- . it have a decent database of point of interest , and a surprisingly comprehensive list of street and location , right out of the box . the only time its direction be a problem , be when I be go to the Pacific Aviation Museum on Ford Island . the ease give I direction right to the museum , which would have be fine if I have military base access privilege . have I select direction to the Visitor 's Center , from which a shuttle bus take civilian visitor to the museum and other Ford Island site , I have no doubt it would have give I correct direction . this be a case of , `` oh , shoot ! it do just what I tell it to ! '' the ease do not have some of the extra feature that would have gain it five star from I . if you be look for a basic gp navigation system for you car , and do not have bucketload of money to spend on one , this be you answer . +3 GPS POS 5 I originally buy a 60c in 2004 , so the only thing hold I back from the 60csx be convince the financial director that a second unit be justified . the main change be the use of a removable sd card and better reception . better reception be fantastic . this be a general purpose GPS so it can be use on the road and on the trail . it hang on you side like a cellphone and be often mistaken for one . on the road I use a windsheild suction mount and a dual powercable\/serial connection . there be no voice prompt , however the beep notification and text and graphic be sufficient for I . some navigator may not like take they eye off the road to check the unit however if located properly this be not a issue . on the trail use with topo map be also very good . the unit be design around Geocaching and I have do this a couple of time and be easily able to find the cache . as far as `` City Navigator North America 2008 '' , the complete map set take about 1.7 gb of a 2 GB Micro sd card . 2gb be the maximum size that you can use . private datum can also be store on the sd card . pre `` City Navigator North America 2008 '' , Garmin allow two unit to register with each map purchase , however retriction impose by NAVTEQ have force Garmin to only allow one unit per licence . overall , a excellent product that cover a lot of application . Satellite aquisition be extremely fast and I be able to get coverage in my house . if you be go to only use the GPS in you car and be look for voice prompt and fancy feature , then you be probably better off with a NUVI , however if you want general gp in the car , on you plane , on the handlebars of you Motor Cycle or Bicycle or strap to you belt , then this be the unit . I love my 60c and 60csx . +595 GPS POS 4 I like the gp ... as far as the map and navigation go , this be a great unit . the lane assist be also a very nice feature but the mount be terrible . it take a while to figure out the suction dial on the window mount but once you do it work ok . the suction be very tight on glass -lrb- do not work on the dash unless you use the sticky disc that come with it -rrb- but the GPS unit pop off the mount too easily . I have a Buick Enclave and it be very hard to reach the windshield to get the unit mount . they have to come up with a better way to mount this thing . I buy a additional mount that hook on the vent louver . hope this will work better ! at least I can reach it ! +977 GPS POS 5 I be only try to find a cable for my exist cf gp reciver , and this product be the same price as the cable , and come with the gp reciver as well ! well worth the money ! +383 GPS POS 5 I be a emt in a rural area where I have not live for very long . I need something to help I find my way through country backroad fast and efficiently , and this fit the bill for the most part . the main problem I have have be that it can take a while to locate satellite at first if it have not be turn on for a while , which in most application would not be much of a problem , as at most it be a minute and a half . the next be it do not turn with you , which can be briefly confuse if you have to take two quick turn , and change a lane in the process -lrb- i.e. a right and a quick left , I get stick in the right lane -rrb- . Speaker could be a little louder , as well . then the last be no flash -lrb- programming , or photography -rrb- . not much of a problem as it be not it be main purpose , but worth mention . the good part - re-route very fast and effectively , it detour I very well around flooding with minimal input from I . very fast web connection , decent signal . Touchscreen work flawlessly and input quickly . it be sleek , about the same size as a android , with very intuitive programming . have not use the camera much , but it be a nice touch , and 2mp be as much as I would need on a day to day basis . in short , it be extremely fast except when initially acquire satellite after be off for a while , have plenty of feature , and be very well program . it work well for what I need it for and be a great buy for the one day deal I purchase it for . at full price I would have expect a little more , however . +627 GPS POS 4 since I no longer use my `` stock cd\/cassette\/am . FM radio '' , as all my music be on my Samsung Focus -lrb- finally find a 32 gig expansion memory chip that be WINDOWS PHONE 7 CERTIFIED . this tuck into the CD aperture , and there be a thick plastic knob that tighten the grip by expand once place inside the CD slot and turn . there be a push button release to remove you phone\/gps from the mount . some folk be complain that they could not get sufficient `` grip to tighten it all the way '' . SWIVEL the PART that actually \*\* hold \*\* the phone upside-down . that will give you all the `` room '' you need . now that it be tighten , turn it back over and it be ready for use . I also use the MONSTER CABLE CASSETTE TAPE ADAPTER and use the mp3 from my Samsung Focus . have not take this puppy out for a `` test drive to see how it do over bump and such '' . once this get the `` road test '' , I 'll edit my review accordingly . 8.19.2011 8.21.2011 ~ WOW , I be impressed , drive this over the toughest road in my truck , it do BOUNCE , BUT SO DID the TRUCK and EVERYTHING in IT !! ; -rrb- -rrb- this unit pass my `` acid test '' , so it be `` Christopher Approved '' . BTW , if you want to see the video of this in operation , go here to the MOUNTEK SITE : -lrb- ... -rrb- btw , they say `` shipping between Aug 21 and 26th '' . I order this on Weds Aug 17 , 2011 and it arrive USPS on Friday before noon . Pretty fast\/slick . I be impressed with that quick a delivery . Christopher +449 GPS POS 5 awesome product , better than the unit in my Lexus . give you traffic delay and route option on the fly . only criticism be it not easy to cancel you route once you set it , without go into a bunch of other screen . should have a active cancellation button on the screen at all time . +244 GPS NEU 3 Got this as a gold Box special a couple of week ago . my old GPS , a TomTom GO 720 4.3-inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator I actually really like the 720 when it work -lrb- though that be intermittently -rrb- , which be why I be willing to consider another TomTom in spite of the issue . besides , the Magellans do not impress I , I hate my wife 's Garmin -lrb- constant moan of `` re-cal-cu-la-ting '' and last-second turn instruction wear thin -rrb- , and I be not about to spend many hundred of dollar on glorified version of the free Google Maps app on my phone . that say , it be a good gold Box deal and about what I pay for the 720 just over a year ago . consider lifetime map and traffic be include , it be tough to pass up . I do not need a ton of bell and whistle , so it seem to fit the bill of a good replacement for the old one . I do not pay close enough attention to the product description , so I fail to notice the lack of a sd slot , but , see as how I have never use it on my 720 , that be not a problem . well , do I get a good deal ? OUT of the box the 335 have the same size screen as the 720 and be just a smidge smaller , except when the ring mount be attach make it significantly thicker and not as portable -lrb- though I think most people would not be pack it that way -rrb- . the suction cup attachment seem much more adhesive than that of the 720 , which I be constantly push back against the window since it fall off at least once a week . the little recessed cubby for the usb power\/computer connection be a bit of a pain , require more digging around than I would like . overall , its physical ergonomics be pretty please and it seem quite secure when drive . update the map here 's where the first issue come up . if you have look at other review , you know I be not alone in trouble . I already have the TomTom software install on my xp netbook from my previous GPS , so I be as close to plug and play as one could get . I log in , switch my account to the new device and it immediately ask I if I want to update the map through the latest map guarantee , something that be promise on all TomToms out-of-box -lrb- in case yours have be sit on a shelf for a while -rrb- . I do . and so begin a process of download that take about 90 minute on my fairly quick internet connection . of course , once that be all download , I have another excruciating wait while it transfer the ` latest ' map to the unit . Fine . I put in my time and be ready to get go . but then I get to the ` Update '' screen that let you know if there be new gp fix or map share correction . strangely , there be a new North America map for I to download . do not I just do this ? base on my experience with the 720 -lrb- and logical programming in general -rrb- I decide to go ahead and click through , figure the software would tell I if this new map be already on the device . either the software be really dumb or the ` latest ' map I get under the guarantee be not in fact the most recent \* , because I wait for another few hour while it go through the machination and install the new map on my device . -lrb- \* I suppose there be the very slight chance that TomTom put out a new map in the time since I first hook up the new unit , but , as you be about to see , that probably be not the case . -rrb- ok , so two update to get the ` latest ' map . thing could be worse , I suppose . right ? right . I enter my registration code for the free lifetime map and \* SHOCKER \* I be tell there be yet another new North America map . this time , I take note of the version number : the update take I from version 830.2284 to 850.2781 . I be no mathematical wizard , but that seem like a pretty big jump from one version to the next . three hour later -lrb- and about half a day after I first connect to the system -rrb- , I finally have the last of TomTom 's ` latest ' update install . not a good way to start . it make the all the guarantee offer by the company seem just a little disingenuous . on the road -lrb- include comparison to MY GO 720 -rrb- this screen be dim . at 100 % brightness on the day setting , it be about half of my 720 's illumination . this be annoying . it be not the worst thing in the world for I , since I have good eyesight , but I do not like it and I think it would make the unit unusable for many people -lrb- my wife include -rrb- . initial route be sloooooooow . I would get annoy when my 720 be take more than about 10-15 seconds to plan my trip . that be light speed compare to this sloth of a machine . change my destination mean I better put aside a minute or more of my life while the new GPS go into a state of deep reflection . if I be already move and want to avoid the traffic delay ahead , I better remember upcome direction since the screen will go into a mapless ` analyze ' display for sixty or more seconds . once it have analyze alternative , it might ask if I want to avoid toll road or carpool lane . no matter what my answer , it will then go through all the analysis again . seriously ? it could not have account for the two different possibility before ask I ? better yet , it could not have ask up front so it could simply get it right the first time ? I never have any kind of lag issue like this with the 720 . on the other hand , maybe all that advance planning help a little if you be prone to go off course . I have find that when I pass on one of the direct turn with the 335 , it be much quicker to re-plot than the 720 . I really do not know what be more bothersome : have to wait to get go or have to wait to get my course correct when make the slightest deviation . the rd traffic service seem less reliable than the traffic update I get through the phone datum with my 720 . whereas I could pretty much rely on the 720 's ` go ' traffic be gospel , the 335 's rd traffic accuracy be pretty spotty this past weekend on a road trip to San Diego . at one point around San Juan Capistrano , I go about 10 mile in 25 minute , but the gp be tell I my road be free and clear . Voice route be really odd . I never use the speak street name feature with the 720 , opt instead for one of the more natural-sounding voice simply tell I where to turn and such . the 335 's computer voice have some quirk . firstly , pronunciation be really spotty . live in Southern California , I be obviously surround by street and city with spanish name . all I ask be for some consistency : either give it the authentic spanish treatment or completely anglocize it . you can not say ` loss ahnhele . ' it be either ` LOHS Ahnheles ' or ` loss Anjelez . ' do not split the difference . hearing ` San Joaquin ' be even more painful . on the other hand , the computer lady do say ` San Diego ' as if she be Ron Burgundy explain the city 's rich german root , so that be pretty funny . someone else mention that the computer voice do not pronounce the ' 0 ' for highway such as 101 or 405 . Mine do not ignore the ' 0 , ' she just have some kind of read disorder . when she want I to take i-405 , for example , she say `` four-west-five . '' highway 101 become `` one-west-one . '' the only way I can begin to make any sense of why this happen be that the computer read the ' 0 ' not as ` zero , ' but as the letter ` O. ' since ` o ' would be the indicator for ` west ' in the frenchier part of Canada , maybe the 335 be try to show off its worldliness . of course , that be just a theory , though I can not think of any other remotely plausible reason the GPS would be do something so dumb . the verdict as I say in the title , I be not sure if I be keep this thing . it be get some quirk I find very bothersome and much of it do not live up to my good experience with 720 when it be work its best . on the other hand , I be not go to find similar amenity at a comparable price and , more than not , the 335 do the basic job for which I need it . I think the question come down to whether I feel good about reward TomTom for regress they technology , not to mention they lose a lot of credibility as a company with the repeat map download despite they ` latest map guarantee . ' frankly , if I could get the 720 to link up to my new phone , I would be keep that one even with all its issue . the 335 be work well enough to keep I consider it , but it be far from give I the warm fuzzy . the next couple of day will find I do some serious research to see if there be a better unit to be have without make a huge financial leap . if not , I 'll probably keep it , but I do not think I 'll ever be too excite about it . \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* UPDATE AUGUST 27 , 2010 \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* ok , so I end up keep it . I be still not go to endorse it as a fantastic unit , but I think it be good enough for most need if you be not comfortable cross the $ 125 -lrb- or thereabout -rrb- barrier on a gp . I have not yet follow the instruction for improve the voice direction someone post in a comment to this review , so I can not speak to whether the problem I complain about be fixable . just as a further example of how schizophrenic the voice be , however , I have notice that she can do a admirable job with the street name ` Cahuenga ' but ` Sacramento ' be mangled beyond belief to become something that roughly sound like ` sah-ka-la-mah-kis . ' it be actually impressive how many consonant be omit and replace by other to make California 's capital sound like a greek shipping company . I now have to mute it when my wife be in the car because she be not amuse with my fascination at how ridiculous most of the speak name be . nagging issue continue to be the dim screen , the ' 4-west-5 ' thing , and the point of interest lack completeness sometimes . a example of the latter be when I be across town and have a sudden hankering for Del Taco -lrb- do not judge I ! -rrb- . I think I be near one I know from when I live near there , so I put ` Del Taco ' into the search . a half-dozen within a few mile come up quickly , but the one I be think of be not list . I remember where it should be and drive the eight block or so to get there . right where I think it would be , but the gp do not know about it . same thing 's happen with a couple of other chain store , like Lowe 's . very odd to I . I should mention that the biggest nagging issue might be the multi-step , analysis mode of replan route . it get ridiculous . whether replot to avoid traffic or part of a route , it be a waste of time and patience for the unit to spend a minute or so analyze alternative , present a list of say alternative with the travel time and distance of each , have the user select which alternative , then go through further analysis on the route allegedly just analyze . basically , it be the equivalent of ask you navigator to plot out three course , calculate the distance of each , select one of the option , then have the navigator re-plot what be already do to create the option in the first place . silly . another note I forget to include initially , despite the ` quick fix ' update , it take a minute or so for the unit to pick up satellite when leave my garage . also , in one of the first outing with it , I actually lose all satellite signal for a couple of minute on a stretch of open highway between Burbank and Sherman Oaks . I feel like it might have happen one other time , but , since I can not speak to it with specificity , I will not ding it too badly here . it be just odd . amend verdict : a decent stopgap for those look for basic-plus -lrb- map and traffic -rrb- option who do not want to drop a bunch of cheddar while wait for the industry to get it right and put out better system . do not expect too much and you will not be too disappointed . +972 GPS POS 5 my route learn a new route `` over time . '' I need it to lean a route this time . it need a activation , the time I train it , the time the person who know the route be in the car ... this business of `` over time '' be fuzzy . +785 GPS POS 5 I buy this for we Magellan gp . I do not like the way they hook on vent , etc. . I agree with one other reviewer . once you figure out that the washer pop out of the base for the tilt or flex neck , it be a breeze to use . the weight be very sturdy . I be go to buy another one to try with we sirius - xm roadie . would recommend this . +962 GPS POS 4 this thing work . receive it yesterday and I just have about 3 hour toy and try my Garmin c330 and man , I be happy and very proud with this unit . the display be superb and do not expect it to be better than TomTom Go 300 & Magellan 700 which I be able to use as well . the color auto mode be perfect in my taste . never have problem with sun glare although not fully test with a scorching California sun . I love the huge amount of poi . I could easily find nearest establishment like mcdonald , Costco , Circuit City . you may also find poi along you route and in city you specify . poi category be well-thought . Night spot , amusement park , city center and more . noticeably , no bank nor atm category . but you can easily find the bank with spell name . no Quick Spell though like Magellan . but the search be smart . just search for WELLS and it will find you place with WELLS anywhere in the name . the navigation , another big surprise for I , be the best among the unit I have test . we all know we best route and in a junction that both TomTom and Magellan keep tell I to turn left , this Garmin tell I to turn right which imo be the best route . Bravo to Garmin ! the signal reception be very much acceptable . never lose a signal especially when WAAS be enable . I could get a 4-bar signal inside the house . the guide voice be so good . I could still hear it so well even when my window be open . this unit have good speaker and well place . snap it in and out of the mount be really a snap . and the mount be sturdy and firm . although the make look cheap which in this area , I prefer the TomTom suction mount . but this be much better than the Magellan mount for windshield where it make my mrm700 dangle like a bobble head . more good news . I do not know if this will work in Europe but man , the time be automatically set for I . I love it . ok . I have say a lot of good point . now , here be the bad point . not much but best to tell everyone so you can decide for yourselve . poi be not show while on the drive map . the favorite be show though . you may see the poi only in the browser map . route can not be save . ugh ! I know that before I make up my mind for this unit . but still , I love to save my route -lrb- use my natural intelligence with the local road -rrb- so I will not be annoy to be ask to use road and\/or highway that I know I have a better alternative . I also read from current user of Garmin that map update be not free . very bad customer support imho . Garmin should not charge update and if they give it freely , they 'll certainly win more business . Alright . the bottom line be Garmin c330 be a very good unit . I have not try the TomTom go 700 nor the new Magellan Roadmate 760 . but GC330 be far superior in comparison with ttg300 and mrm700 . +135 GPS POS 4 it calculate quickly . it have clear screen . the only problem be not reliable at big city -lrb- like chicago -rrb- . some poi do not exist . +370 GPS POS 5 I have just acquire this to help I train . it work at treat be simple to use for what I use it for -lrb- exercise in certain heart rate zone -rrb- . there be much more you can do with it but I havent try yet . the ability to store you workout in the machine and upload they to a pc to reviw they be good and again simple to use . the only minor quibble be : - because of the slight variation in fix the pace reading tend to shoot up and down but this can be smooth and I havent try that yet - the bundle map in the training center software be not very detailed for the UK . +676 GPS POS 4 I get my Garmin in order to use it on a trip to Europe . the gp signal be great and it be very fast recalculate when a change in course occur . it be not great on the altitude and velocity but overall it work fine . very light weight and nice design . I now use it primarily in South-America and it work just as good . +309 GPS POS 4 have a horrible experience with a Magellan so I figure I would try Garmin . what a incredible difference . I have the Magellan and it last 4 week and I be ready to throw it out ! just get the Garmin not long ago but be already impressed and know enought to share my thought . like : incredibly fast acquisition time . the Magellan could take 20 minute , it be painful and useless due to the time . the Nuvi lock in , even when move within a minute . incredible ! the build in battery allow you to preprogram a trip and then go . very intuitive and easy to use . the Magellan be easy to use but it take so darn long it be render useless . it seem to route very well unlike the Magellan . dislike . I be a insurance agent and travel every road in my area . even this unit have trouble on some of the road . this be the reason it get 4 of 5 star . overall I be ecstatic with this unit . ca not speak for TomTom or any other manufacturer but from my experience , Garmin kick Magellans behind . +701 GPS NEG 2 I understand that the base map be basically useless , and that I would be look at additional cost to load additional material to fully utilize the device . what I be not prepare for be the insane difficulty there would be 1 -rrb- install and 2 -rrb- unlock the map . the unlock wizard and online tool `` develop '' be misleading , lumbering , counterintuitive , archaic , and almost completely useless . the window base unlock tool do not recognize my online user id , although it be create and use multiple time during the installation process , the MapSource software recognize my unlock key but say the map be not install , my gp unit say the map be find but can not be unlock , online tool say they be install and unlock ... I be wipe out and reinstall x3 !! I have be go around in circle for 5 + hour and still no success . +177 GPS POS 4 pro 1 . Works well for total distance\/pace . 2 . the logbook software be excellent and easy to use . 3 . really help to keep mileage in you target range to avoid overtraining . 4 . battery charge work really well . -lrb- I do 8 run and still show 13 hour charge time leave -rrb- . 5 . do not have a heart monitor . -lrb- I already have a heart monitor that work very well when I purchase -rrb- . con 1 . the pace feature be not good in real time . I have try both `` most '' and `` least '' smooth setting with suspect result . the avg pace that be calculate at the end of you run be good however . -lrb- real time pace bounce up and down . I would sometimes see a pace of 6:31 and seconds later see 8:24 without change my run speed -rrb- . 2 . unit be large but light . you do not even notice it while run . 3 . should have usb port instead of com port . 4 . take several minute to lock on to satellite . -lrb- I always warm up with a 1\/4 mile walk first which work for I -rrb- . Summary this device work very well for I . I would buy it again . +466 GPS POS 4 I buy the Forerunner because I enjoy hike and use gp to map my hike . I realize the Forerunner be really design for runner or bicyclist who want to monitor they training and I can see where it would be a outstanding device for that . for hike , it work okay - but a gp device make for hike will work much easier . my main issue with the Forerunner be that interface be very tedious to navigate with the few button on the device and the tiny screen . if you plan to collect waypoint and give they name beyond the default , then get a larger device with easier navigation . if all you want to do be keep track of you route , speed , and heart rate , then this be definintely the unit for you . the only thing that bother I when I use it be that it make my wrist very sweaty . it be quite large on my wrist and the plastic trap sweat underneath . also , the cautionary orange color really add to the geek factor . sometimes I be okay with that , other time I would prefer something more discrete . transfer datum from the unit to my pc be very simple - as be the case with all of the other Garmin unit I have use . it be extremely easy to view the datum in Google Earth where it be fun to see you route on top of the imagery and terrain base map . I be a gi professional so I end up convert the datum into a shapefile format that I can bring into arcgi and add to my map of hike trail . +267 GPS POS 5 this be my first GPS unit . while I generally avoid read the direction to anything , I decide to actually sit down and read the owner 's manual , which I find very easy to follow . after 15-20 minute I have figure all the function out . several very cool feature be : 1 -rrb- you can use the built-in digital compass even when the unit be turn off . 2 -rrb- the unit have several layer of functionality . the most basic or initial layer allow you to access the unit 's key function -lrb- altimeter , barometer , current position , etc. -rrb- by hit just one button . then , if you want to delve deeper into a particular function , you can . for example , when deal with waypoint I can keep it simple and , by push only one button , see my `` home '' waypoint -lrb- and its exact direction and distance from my present position -rrb- . but , if I want to get more complicated , I can -lrb- through a few more button -rrb- access my other waypoint , or upload\/download waypoint to\/from my computer . I use the gp with electronic USGS map program -lrb- the cd-rom verson by all Topo Maps -rrb- . at first , it take time -lrb- and a careful reading of the instruction -rrb- , but I can not imagine own a gp unit and not synch it with actual map . you can plot you course by set waypoint on the electronic map , then `` sync '' the GPS , and now you can follow the waypoint on the gp to go exactly where you need to go . I actually go on a long motorcycle ride , plug in waypoint while we be ride , and then once I get home , I could see exactly where and how far we road after I synce the gp with the map software . I can not wait to try it sail this summer . the only negative I have be that the GPS unit automatically set the clock to central standard time -lrb- where I live -rrb- , but the time do not seem to reflect daylight savings . +690 GPS NEG 2 I buy the Garmin nuvus 1300lm 4.3-inch portable GPS navigator with lifetime map update . I have have it about a week and have only use it in area that I be familiar with . I do not want to even think about travel in a unfamiliar area with it and surely will not do that without a backup map . several time the direction could have get I into a awful situation . once I be direct onto a minor side street that would have make I miss my freeway entrance . another time I be direct onto the wrong interstate . if I have not be familiar with the proper route , no tell how much I would have have to go out of my way . other direction have be marginal . direct I to a street name , which be not post instead of a highway number that be and other thing like that . hopefully on the next update these thing will be improve . I do like some of the other feature that be not available on my old Garmin . my old Garmin be much better at give correct route , so I know they can do it . I be go to keep my new one and hope for the best . I will be travel with auxillary map though ! +845 GPS NEG 2 while this product say it fit 4.3 '' gp device - they do not tell you that if you device have any connective add-on for cabling -lrb- e.g. garmin -rrb- the additional piece do NOT fit in this case which be ` glove tight ' for the basic device . if you just have a 4.3 '' device this product will be fine . +289 GPS POS 4 I be pleasently surprise after use this unit . I read some horror story from some reviewer after I have already orderd it and even think about cancel . all you have to do be read the manual -lrb- which be short and concise -rrb- before you start and you should have absoloutly no problem . I read some review which complain of shoddy construction . not true ! the map that ship with the unit be work great although they be ship the newest map to I for free . for anyone that do any travel in Europe , this gp come pre-loaded with all of the european map as well as Canada and the US . +430 GPS POS 5 purchase this to replace a old Garmin Street pilot that I could not get map update for . wow , thing change in six year . this unit work flawlessly . it come with lifetime map update . the traffic hazard feature work great . it be easy to set up and be just what I need . +389 GPS POS 5 great watch . keep accurate heart rate , speed , distance , and easily get satellite signal . a great watch . I hook it up with my mac to look at my workout history . its be great ! use it for run and road bike . +362 GPS POS 5 I purchase the Garmin c-330 and my wife think it be just another one of my toy . however after a trip to Kansas City to the Arena for we grand-daughter 's dance competition the Garmin take we right to the front door . it be very easy to use right out of the box and will be very helpful on we future trip . we be go to buy both we kid a Garmin for Christmas . +616 GPS NEU 3 I have order 2 of these and they definitely do what they say they will do . provide charge and run power for my Magellan with a decent length of cord . unfortunately , there be a few con . first , it be build to very low standard . I have one that be drop from about 2 foot off the ground and the plastic housing shatter . all internal component spill out and because the actual plastic be damage , it become unusable . second , the connector on the gp end be not a exact match to the original charger so it do not fit the windshield mount properly . this be a minor thing since a little creativity can get you around it but it be definitely worth mention . overall , if you treat it with kid glove , this seem to be a good , low-cost replacement adapter . +141 GPS POS 4 I get this unit in December . previously have a older Magellan unit , but there be a lot of new road in this area and pay $ 79 just for map be not happen . be initially please with it although there be occasional route wonkiness on a trip from nc to NY around the holiday . one aspect that I be not as enthused with though be that it seem to take painfully long to boot up . with the older unit if you start the car right when you hop in by the time you get you seatbelt on it would be ready to roll . with this one I find myself get impatient if I need to enter a address before actually start to drive . the big problem however be that about two week ago , the sound start get intermittent . sometimes push on the case around the power button will get it go again , but this be not acceptable in a two month old unit . I will be contact Garmin and if they make thing right , bump my rating up a star . Update : Got in contact with Garmin . they suggest update the firmware to fix the sound issue . I be dubious but do it anyway and it seem to work . that be about four week ago and no problem since . +879 GPS POS 5 this be the second underwater camera I have own . the other one be a Olympus Stylus 770SW . the Olympus die on I in early April . I be think buy another Olympus , when I check out the Nikon aw100 . I decide to buy Nikon because it seem a better camera than the Olympus Stylus tough 8010 14mp Digit al Camera or Olympus ToughTG-1 iHS . in the end I be glad I buy the Nikon aw100 . it have be a month now and I be glad to say I make a good choice . +429 GPS NEG 2 I buy this product as a gift . the first time we use it , I be disappoint . a awful lot of the direction be just not right , and there seem to be no recalculate once you decide to change you route a bit - it just keep try to get you back on the original route it pick for you . the color on the screen be fine and dandy , but that do not make up for the fact that the direction be so unspecific that we be scratch we head wonder what the heck to do on the road . I see a review that say `` best turn-by-turn gp on the market . '' I hardly see how this be possible with direction like , `` take the next exit , '' which , at speed of 55 mph on the highway , be just too unspecific , combine with the fact that street , exit number and right or left turn be never indicate , just a very generic , `` take the next exit . '' further , a lot of time there be a direction , `` in 200 foot , stay to the right '' when there be both exit ramp and branch in the road . we use another gp system that give plenty of count-down warning to the next turn , tell we which WAY to turn -lrb- how important be that when give direction ? -rrb- , with a reminder when we be right at the turn to , in fact , turn there . I have read about some map update due out in January of 2005 . we 'll download they and give it a whirl , but if it turn out to be as nonspecific as it have be up to this point , I 'll gladly trade the awsome color screen for the correct direction every time . +44 GPS POS 5 deliver in time . Works as advertise on amazon . I happy with they customer service support . they be very responsive . I like the build quality of this product . should withstand enough wind and rain for my next bike trip . +368 GPS POS 5 I love it to put it simply . Great . battery last a long time . do not bother to get the 12v adapter . you will not need it . beat my old one so bad there be not any comparison . I use it down in the valley of mountain under thick tree canopy and its never lose signal . you just have to try it . +762 GPS NEU 3 I find the learning curve quite high for the unit and the MapCreate software . there be also unnecessary restriction , such as a limit on how many sd card you can format and a requirement to have a software disk in the CD drive before you can work with the software , and a requirement that you must use a LEI sd reader to format a sd card . result be a lot of unhappy buyer . +978 GPS NEG 2 this incredible gadget have so many feature it make you feel like you be a member of the Enterprise crew . it also have enough menu and screen to leave even hardcore electronic gadget junkie satisfied . yet , it have one shortcoming - it do not work half the time under real life condition . perhaps if you be in a open desert or a similar terrain it be reliable , but even with light tree cover -lrb- 20-25 % -rrb- or hill nearby it sadly report `` weak signal '' and can not calculate you position . to I , all the other feature be a icing on the cake , but without be able to fulfill its primary mission , it become but a expensive electronic paperweight . +974 GPS NEG 1 I purchase Motonav tn765t on November 14 . another review be need for the delivery service particularly for the falsely `` claim attempt delivery '' by the USPS . the Motonav tn765t set up and operation be easy and intutive and easy , but this unit take too long to search for the GPS satellite . my Motonav tn765t come preload with map that be more than one year old . as direct in the product manual I go to Motorola website , -lrb- ... -rrb- and -lrb- ... -rrb- , as direct in the product manual , page 22 , for product registration and map update , respectively ; but I do not find any weblink neither for product registration nor for map update . I find product registration section somewhere else at Motorola website for all consumer product , except the Motonav line , and speak with a customer service agent at Motorola who do not have a answer , but finally give I a phone number to call back during office hour during the week . in summary my conclusion be that Motonav tn765t and the motonav line have either be discontinue or this model be no longer be support . give that Motorola sell the Motonav tn765t with more than one year old map , and there be no apparent product support , this turn out be a bad purchase . give my experience I will not recommend the Motonav tn765t and any of the navigation product in this line . +254 GPS POS 5 everyone who drive a car should have one of these . I be so very pleased with it . I plug it in and start to use it immediately , when I receive it . it be very easy to use and certainly make my life less complicated . I be directionally challenge but I can find any town or address with it . +76 GPS POS 5 I love this Garmin . I have purchase a road gp a few year ago and hate it -lrb- also a Garmin -rrb- . they have come a long way since then . I highly recommend pay the little bit extra for lifetime map update -lrb- and traffic -rrb- because they really do run out of date quickly . even the current map be way out of date , but at least it be better . as far as the product itself be concern , it be great . I love this little thing ... it remove a little of the stress of go new place because you do not have to try to read Google map or something while you be go along . +334 GPS POS 5 my last c be stollen . that be probably the only disadvantage of these unit be that they be very portable . but it give I a excuse to get the latest model . this new CSx be much faster at satelite aquisition and 100 % better whn under heavy cover of tree , building , car top , or whatever . I love this unit !!! +500 GPS POS 5 I order the Garmin 350 after do extensive research on Amazon , Consumer Reports and other website that rate the product . I also do a test run at best buy where the sale person be tell a group of people that Garmin be the best from a satellite and map perspective . the price of the Nuvi 350 be well over $ 100 more than at Amazon.com . and , they be out of stock , which tell I that even over $ 100 more it be a good selling item . my motivation to purchase a gp be due to get lose in a very unfavorable\/dangerous section of Philadelphia where as a female alone I be afraid to stop and ask for direction . I be use Mapquest direction that do not take into account construction detour . I have use the Garmin Nuvi 350 for several road trip since my purchase . I can not be more pleased . Navigation through the unit be extremely user friendly . I simply type a address and hit `` go '' and I be on my way . you can add a additional stop to you route and incorporate it into the bigger trip . you can type in key word to a business you might be look for and it will pull up all listing in the area with that key word . for example , if I be look for direction or the phone # to Biltmore Winery , which be part of the Biltmore Estate , I simply type in Biltmore and choose from the list it present I . the Nuvi will also give you listing by hotel or restaurant type and list they by they distance away from you location . you can chooose chinese , italian , Steak house , fast Food , etc. . or you can choose all and see what be close to you . the voice be clear and audible on this unit . it be a cynch to snap in and out of its holder , which suction to you window . it have a leather case to keep it in when you be use it on foot to navigate through the city . the color be bright and friendly to the eye . you can store a list of favorite place and there be a button for `` home '' . Start up be quick and the route that have be choose so far be efficient . it may not choose the route that you might usually take , but it do choose good route from my experience . it recalculate the route immediately if you take a different turn and get off the original route it provide for you . I travel to Portland , or to visit a friend . I program he address into the unit and from there be able to drive my friend to work , go sight see on my own , drive back to he work and pick he up and drive straight back to he home . this be no easy feat with all the turn , interstate and highway that I be not familiar with . however , with the Garmin Nuvi 350 it be so simple to navigate through traffic without a worry . it be incredible . I would be lose without it ! no pun intend ! one thing I have notice , which would be the same with any gp I imagine , be that when you be park in a totally enclosed parking garage it take a moment for the unit to calculate you route . you must get out of the garage into a area where the satellite can reach the unit in order to calculate the route . overall , I be absolutely thrill with the Garmin Nuvi 350 . I be not a person that would score this unit less than a `` 5 '' b\/c of lack of reception in a enclose parking garage , which would most likely be the case with any gp unit . the benefit and feature , ease of use , feeling of safety for I and my service from Amazon make this product a solid `` 5 '' in my opinion . +532 GPS POS 4 it can not charge my Galaxy Tab tablet nor my Blackberry 9700 handphone , not even connect one device only at one time to either socket . however it can charge my blue tooth earphone which use very low power . update -lrb- sep 25 , 2011 -rrb- test today with ipad2 , it can charge the ipad2 and bluetooth earphone simutaneously no matter which socket they be plug . still can not charge the BB 9700 , not test again the Galaxy tab as not carry the cable . as I doubt there might be set in the Galaxy tab and bb 9700 make they could not be charge , I would like to change the rating to 4 star . +34 GPS POS 4 so far the best one I have ever purchase . only a couple of thing that could be improve . . it take to long to get to the view map screen ... sometimes it take a couple of minute to search for satelite . . recommend and internal antenna that mount on the back ... once it get go it have the best map I could ever imagine . . I would never go on a trip and ask for direction anymore the Garmin just take I too where I want to go . . this be a great item I would highly recommend it to anyone that be want a great deal . . this would be the one . . +163 GPS POS 5 I have just use two time my new run timer . it seem good . I must wait a couple of week to end my assess period Nowadays be good ! +829 GPS POS 5 Garmin nuvi 1490\/1490T 5-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic I replace my nuvus 760 with 885t , very bad experience . I rarely give review online , but I be so disappointed , I have to air my frustration . thankfully the nuvus 1490t work perfectly w\/o any problem so far . Got all the thing I be look for : - free traffic subscription -lrb- ad not noticable and not a distraction -rrb- - lane assist , let you know which lane number you should be -lrb- very helpful in freeway area in Los Angeles and San Diego -rrb- - junction View - a plus - blue tooth - work seamlessly with my nokium phone , one programe it link automatically when ever my gp be on - volume - very loud , I just use 60 % -lrb- compare to nuvi885t at 100 % I can not hear instruction -rrb- - speaking of street name - pronunciation be get better - satellite link - fast - recalculation - fast - display - very clear no complaint ... well battery be short , but I can live with that , since I have a bigger screen and I will be use in for the car anyway . +668 GPS POS 4 Geocaching have become the leisure activity of choice for my husband and I -lrb- aka `` trekkin ' and Birdin ' '' -rrb- , take we to incredible waterfall tuck in sandstone canyon , cave and many other adventure . we already own a Garmin GPS map60csx , and want a second device for those time when one or the other of we be travel and want to break up those trip with a cache or two . this be we choice . as with the higher price version , user must be conscious of which button they push , as it be easy to hit `` enter '' when you want to hit `` quit , '' therefore list a cache as `` find , '' when it be not be find yet . that say , the device be very sensitive and hold the signal well , even in the heavy cover of forest or rocky bluff , prefer location for we to cache . it be able to stand up to the kind of abuse this activity demand . it be be drop down rocky slope , fish out of swamp and even take a quick swim from a kayak , and keep work just fine . the two caution I would offer be that battery be eat by these device , even when avoid use of the backlight . after read another review here , we 'll look into the use of the rechargeable he mention . also , do not expect to load you additional map onto a second device for a bargain . we would hope to purchase a additional `` unlock code '' for the City Navigator program we have already buy , and it would cost almost one hundred dollar . if you think you may need to make map available to one device or the other , buy the Secure Digital version with the map may be a better option , as this can be switch back and forth between unit . overall , we have be very happy with the GPS map60cx . it can take the kind of abuse we have dish out as we climb bluffside and rockslide , paddle on river and push through thick thorn in search of we `` smiley . '' +283 GPS POS 5 actually , I buy this product as a gift to a friend . my household own 2 of these -lrb- both buy from Amazon -rrb- and I love it because it never fail to get I where to go , despite the fact that the `` lady '' give I the annoyed `` ugh , recalculate ! '' lol phrase . I also feel more secure when I have my Garmin because I know it will always get I home ! it be easy to use , it find restaurant -lrb- yay ! -rrb- wherever we may be . we even take one of we unit to South Africa and Namibia and use it during we road trip . very cool and practical gadget to have !! BTW , my latest purchase be deliver promptly . +842 GPS POS 4 I have find this product to be very useful in the past year . aside from some occasional misdirection when search in its database -lrb- mostly with restaurant and once with Blockbuster -rrb- , it give accurate direction and be easy to use . it be easy to update the software and they have recently add different voice accent which be fun . my unit stop work recently after about 9 month of use and it be due to failure of the power cable . Garmin customer service be prompt in respond to the problem but take about a month to send I a replacement cable because the product be out of stock . overall I recommend the product . +502 GPS NEG 1 I have the h610 which I purchase to find it do not support m Vista . combine this with no map update and it become useless . I have contact Mio multiple time and get no useful responce . they even justifiy mapping error by say you do some thing wrong ! +831 GPS NEG 1 I have use this device for over a month now , and damn I do not like it . I live in NYC and I want to know the traffic situation on the street . it be terrible wrong all the time , and after I be stick in traffic it tell I that the highway be congest , but only with a few minuter delay ... I be stick on FDR for 30 minute and it tell I it be a 3 minute delay . it do not show the local street info , and hardly the highway , so the traffic information be understandable free as it this terrible . I always have to use a separate phone to see the traffic status on google map as it be always incorrect . I have never ever be close to arrive on the esitmated arrival time as well , it be over 25-50 % incorrect on the time of arrival , especially as it do not understand that it will actually take time to stand still at a traffic light . do not calculate that into the estimate arrival time . when be suggest the fastest route it do not suggest highway , it be use local street , and as I describe above , do not calcualte time for the traffic light . I go to the beach and be suggest a 1.05 h travel time , it take I 2 hour to get there with this device . I go on the highway as I know they and it take 1.10 h in travel time , and it be congest at that time . on other device you can select to drive on highway only if possible . it alternate the road in the middle of the driving , and send I off in the wrong direction , and then it tell I to make a u-turn to go back to the road I be drive on from the start . it be just full of these annoyance all the time ... it do not suggest alternative road when it calculate a road . miss exist as it tell I to keep to the right and then the exit be on the left . so in over all . I hate the device , and hate be a strong word . +472 GPS POS 5 this strap be so much more comfortable than the one that come with the watch . it be easy to install , and the charge dock fit nicely and without trouble . the only suggestion be to attach the strap reverse of how the direction suggest . I think attach this way make the watch easier to put on . +210 GPS POS 4 the concept be without a doubt ingenious - take advantage of the CD slot to mount you phone or gp and keep you windshield unobstructed . just this week , I pick up the Samsung Galaxy note which sport a 5.3 '' screen . it be a behemoth in that respect . however , it be very thin - in fact thinner than the iPhone 4 . the only issue I see be that the retain ` ear ' could be a bit taller . I have a Speck Candyshell case on the phone which as case go be quite thin - some who have look at my phone do not realize the phone be even in a case . however , I find the phone sit a bit shallow in the ear which concern I when I receive the larger , more protective Reiko case -lrb- think Otterbox -rrb- . +14 GPS NEG 1 it do not work . I try several time , each time it keep say acquire satellite for about ten minute -lrb- I be outdoor -rrb- . give up . return it . +590 GPS POS 4 this unit be very clear and easy to use , I like it and would tell everyone to get one . the price be very good . +493 GPS NEU 3 buy this cover for my 76csx in 3\/2009 . the carry loop break in the first year but that be ok because I switch to use the caribiner plastic loop . now , after 3 + year the stitching hold the carbiner loop have come undo . Re : other comment the cover have always fit well during the 3 + year of use . in particular the stitch around the transparent part of the cover have never be a problem . I agree the caribiner loop be on the wrong end . +438 GPS NEG 1 I put it in the car , and suddenly it get it damage , programe obsolescence , 3m dissapoint I . the laser now it doesnt work . but the technology for carpian tunnel its great , mazng , fabulous +32 GPS POS 4 fantastic unit for hunting , hike , Christmas tree search , etc. . we hike in the mountain and you can take waypoint as you hike then go to Google Earth and look up exactly where you be . Works the other way too . input you waypoint and then tell the unit to navigate to it . check the accuracy of you speedometer . fun to use geocach too . there be thing I do not like . it have the older chipset that lose signal easily . I have to put the unit on my dashboard because it lose signal in any seat of my car . I also wish it convert coordinate to decimal easily but it only use standard gp coordinate . I have to do a conversion each time from Google Earth 's coordinate . there be some roadmap but only major street in most city . do not use this for address navigation because the map be not very detail . wish it use a usb connection to a computer but it be use older serial port so many new laptop will not interface to it . also , you have to move around for compass to work . +584 GPS POS 4 ok ... SO AFTER READING MANY REVIEWS and be a little weary , I buy this UNIT ON SALE at TARGET for $ 179 . OUT of the BOX IT WAS great . the map update work fine , no problem with the activation code . change my route take the UNIT ABOUT 10 SECONDS to CORRECT the route . turn it on TOOK ABOUT 4 SECONDS to acquire the signal . everything work fine , from the ETA to your destination to the speed limit warning . it be a bright display and good for my old eye . I would RECOMMEND THIS if you want to spend that much money . I buy a two year WARRENTY for $ 17 . and FEEL COMFORTABLE ABOUT OWNING IT if ANYTHING GOES WRONG . no PROBLEMS SO far and be very happy with it . diff --git a/train/Gloves.txt b/train/Gloves.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..44d35690b7a5cc2412f7a72351e40f44d5a73287 --- /dev/null +++ b/train/Gloves.txt @@ -0,0 +1,701 @@ +740 Gloves NEU 3 I be a avid participant in water aerobic class , and use to use the glove that my fitness center provide . but I decide to buy my own pair recently , and have find a couple issue with this particular brand : 1 -rrb- they run a bit larger than expect . I buy a medium , and they be a bit too big for I . 2 -rrb- they do not stay fasten with the velcro ! I find myself constantly have to stop what I be do to reattach the velcro wristband . they seem to be make well as far as the material use for the actual glove itself ; sturdy and provide good resistance in the water .

I read the review on this glove and most people say it be heavily padded which be something I want . I have use harbinger before and they seem to last although they be not as padded as these be . I be concern about what size to order , so I go with what I use with the previous harbinger I own - large . well , they be well-padded for sure and may be a little uncomfortable for some people but they do the trick for I . I can hardly feel the cyst and I think they actually enhance my workout by provide a much better grip .

I have only wear they once -lrb- for kickboxing -rrb- but my trainer think they will be great for my purpose , and they seem to fit okay . -lrb- I get the 12oz and I be 5 ' 7 '' 125lb . -rrb- the most notable thing be , THEY be smelly . like , some crazy weird synthetic smell , from the moment I take they out of the package . I actually have to leave they out of my gym bag for awhile to air out . when my husband come in later , he be like `` Whoa ! there be some weird smell in the office !!! '' and I be like `` it be my new boxing glove . '' it take day for they to be tolerable , and even now I can not leave they in a enclosed space for long . I have only have they for about a month though , so hopefully it will go away in time . the shared boxing glove at the gym really stink -lrb- like old sweat -rrb- so I guess I would rather have `` new boxing glove smell '' instead ! +575 Gloves POS 5 I be a tow truck operator and these be perfect and at a great price to boot . +64 Gloves POS 5 Bach Instrument Polishing Gloves , Silver use a polish cloth to clean one of my silver plate trumpet require hold the horn with one hand , which leave finger print . with these glove , you can handle or polish a instrument without actually touch it ; hence , no smudge . the glove can do the actual polishing , but they will not stay white for long do that . my preference be to hold the instrument with a gloved hand and a polish cloth in the other . these glove be far superior to polish mitt , since you can not get a secure grip on you horn use a mitt . these be stretch glove , with no size mark on they . they seem to be a men size large , although my xxl -lrb- size 12 -rrb- hand stretch the glove to a perfect fit , include the finger . my wife 's hand be average size for a woman and these glove be way too big for she . there be no left or right glove ; each can be use for either hand . if you have a silver plate instrument and you hand size be large or greater , you should be happy with this product . Quality be excellent . +17 Gloves NEG 2 big deal . I , ve have better luck with weightlifter glove .2 week time and they start to unravel . the terry cloth for wipe sweat be a good idea though . hardly worth the 20 buck Ipaid for they . +630 Gloves POS 5 initially I buy these with the intent of use they to replace my summer motorcycle glove . I also lift weight to stay in reasonable shape . I find that these glove be excellent for both motorcycle and weightlifting . another Amazon review mention that you should buy these glove in one size larger than you normally take ... very true . even the 1 size larger be snug . the glove be nicely pad , fit and finish be excellent and they be high quality . +40 Gloves POS 5 I have be work out 5 time a week for a little over a year . at first , the callouse be nothing , and actually welcome , due to the fact that I have a white collar job and have hand comparible to a baby before I start lift . however , after a while when you hand be stiff as board , and callouse peel off and bother you , you start look at alternative . that be when I come onto these glove via trusty Amazon . they be not bulky at all . they seem to be make of very high quality material . after a couple week of heavy use , there be no sign of any wear and tear . I expect to go through they much faster , but they appear to be build to last . the grip be definitely welcome , but they have accomplish the goal I buy they for . my callouse be already visible smaller , and I have not have they dry up and peel off in about a week . so , if you be look for a very reasonably price pair of workout glove , I would recommend wholey . great product . +311 Gloves POS 5 I choose these Swim Gloves for resistance training since I want a workout that be less strenuous than one use swim Paddles as a beginner , if you swim with the golve finger close -lrb- normal freestlye -rrb- , you get a great lower resistance workout . by gradually open out you finger in the webbed glove , you workout become more strenuous - even approach that of swim paddle ! I love the comfort and natural feel of these Speedo Aqua Fit Swim Gloves . I can even adjust my goggles without have to take off my glove ... something that be impossible to do with paddle on !

I choose l size -lrb- I wear XL before -rrb- and feel comfortably fit while wear it . but I feel some how a little tight while lift weight ! so choose one size larger be recommend ! +447 Gloves POS 5 I have use the Speedo glove for about a year now and I love they . they provide a great upper body workout , especially if you spread you finger out . I swim six day a week , so the glove start to wear out after about three or four month . I usually purchase the blue glove , but Amazon be run a sale on the yellow , so I grab those instead . I do not know if there be a difference between they , but the yellow have last longer then the blue one have . they seem better make and in the future I will strictly purchase the yellow . as note in previous review , the size run large . in regular glove I purchase either a large or x-large - for the Speedo swim glove a medium be a perfect fit . for anyone who want a better upper body workout while swimming , these will certainly help . but you probably will be purchase 2-3 pair a year due to wear and tear on the glove - especially if you be swim in chlorine . +343 Gloves POS 4 these weightlifting glove be exactly what I have hope they would be . they fit well and provide the appropriate amount of padding . +525 Gloves POS 5 I buy these before go into a summer job at a golf course and want something where I could handle small thing but would be strong and protected . the extra padding on the fingertip be very good and useful . the glove be a great fit and they breathe well too . after look over a lot of different glove before buy I make a great decision with these and would definitely buy they again . +818 Gloves POS 4 these be great work glove when it be above zero . allow some freedom to move and keep hand pretty warm , +827 Gloves NEU 3 they rip in palm after 3 week of use . not very happy with they need more strenthg in palm area would not reccomend +817 Gloves NEU 3 decent pair of glove for general labor type use . you have to be pretty sure of you hand size when you order , as they fit snugly and you would notice quickly if they do not fit . not good for any labor that involve handle object that be more than warm . the black grippy area on the finger and palm be plastic or rubbery and they melt . +375 Gloves POS 4 good quality , tough glove . I order medium since my winter glove and the latex glove I use at work be also medium size . however , the glove run small . they be very snug , and although after several use they seem to be loosen up a bit , I still find myself struggle to `` peel '' they off of my hand from how tight they fit . highly suggest go one size bigger if purchasing . +853 Gloves NEG 1 as many other reviewer have state these glove fall apart . I go through two pair in short order when the `` washable '' synthetic leather literally disintegrate , the material stretch way out and hole show up everywhere in the material . last less time than much cheaper glove I have own . for a heavier glove I have have better luck with Ironclad 's Icon line which seem to use a more durable synthetic for the palm . +327 Gloves NEU 3 contrary to the product description , these glove be not `` easy-on , easy-off '' . removal always require put down anything you be hold . with other work glove , I can remove one use a armpit and not involve the other hand . for someone like I who take a lot of beer break , open a can become a pain . as other have mention , these glove breathe well . too well for winter work , if you have dry hand like I . but I will probably use these in the summer . I have to admit , they do have a great feel . +535 Gloves NEU 3 help relieve hand pain and stress for first 3-4 month . then padding wear down and finger hole widen as increase my lifting . basically have need new one since the 3 month mark of lift 3-4 time a week . look to purchase new glove now because I have get worse and worse calise and these do not have enough wrist support . would only recommend for beginner . +603 Gloves POS 5 pick these up before replace my front and rear disc brake and rotor . they be fantastic glove that fit great , keep my hand clean and protected , and seem to be extremely well manufacture and durable .

I would really recommend the ` fast fit ' style as well because I always have task I need to take they on and off for work on car . all in all these be excellent glove and well worth the ten dollar I pay for they . they seem pretty durable as well . but we shall see ! +599 Gloves POS 5 comfortable and do what it be suppose to do ; protect my hand . these glove have a good feel and seem to be of pretty good quality . I would recommend to anyone . +265 Gloves NEG 2 do not like these glove , I have small hand and buy medium since the review say they run a little small . still too big !

I have only have it for two week now so I be not completely sure on durability , especially cause I do not use it for vigorous weight training or anything , just here and there . it be comfortable and fit I , however , I notice that even though I follow the size recommendation , it be on the tighter size . not the uncomfortable range , but to the point that if it be even a tad smaller , it would not have work at all . and the only reason it even fit be because I also have skinny hand so if you have normal or big man hand , get a size up . so if you think you be a large , get a extra large , etc etc. . the size go like this , take a tape measure and measure around the knuckle area . completely around . in inch . 6.5 - 7 = x 7 - 7.5 = s 7.5 - 8 = l 8 - 8.5 = x l etc etc. . so if you have skinny hand , you can stay with you size , if you have thick man hand , it be highly recommend to get a size up . I do not have girly hand or anything like that , it be just that my hand be thinner , especially my finger . how durable will probably take time to determine , but so far I be pretty happy , the purchase be a decent one . lift weight feel better . +395 Gloves POS 4 these glove have change my mind . very good dexterity . I be no longer a full time tradesman , and I can not afford to have my hand in the shape they be in when I be in the field . I do more sale then work in the field , and I have develop `` office hand '' . these glove have save I more than once when I have to go back in the field . I recently re-shingle my house and wear the glove from start to finish . no callus , no tar under the nail , and best of all I have skin on my finger tip at the end of the job . the glove do take a beating , and I do not think they would make it thru another 15 square , but they fare much better than a pair of brown jersey would have . a litte tattered and a blow seam or two , but the finger tip stay on and no hole . they be a little pricey and if they be price at around $ 12 to $ 14 , I would feel that they would be more in line with what I like to spend , but my hand be glad I make the investment . somebody who use they everyday will be go thru too many pair in a year and at the price they be now you would be spend a good bit of you hard earn cash . but price they at $ 12 buck and supplier would not be able to keep 'em in stock . +695 Gloves POS 5 the glove have perform well for I . as a matter of fact , I have just order a 2nd pair and get some for a friend of mine .

I though the large may have be to small , but this be not the case . I usually go with a XL or XXL depend on the glove since I have a wider hand at the thumb . +769 Gloves POS 4 I have go through a few pair of these glove over the year and they be well worth the money . once you go to a higher quality brand you probably will not go back to these , but they get the job do for a good price . I would not recommend they for spar because they be a bit hard and you spar partner might not be happy . these be good glove for bagwork , boxing cardio class , etc. . I still keep a pair in my bag but I make the switch to a higher price glove a while back and have not pull these out of the bag since . I just reread my review and while I say these glove be good but also say that I do not use they anymore , I guess my final point be that if you be a beginner to the sport , or be look for good bag glove , these will do you just fine . +498 Gloves NEG 1 these oare not great for aqua fit because I have to take they off & put they on again . these glve do not work for a quick paced class . +453 Gloves POS 4 I just start kick boxing so these glove be fine . however , I do not realize glove have different strap length . the glove I receive have very short strap . it be hard to fasten the 1st glove and almost impossible to fasten the 2nd glove . oh well , will research better next time . +768 Gloves POS 4 the glove be very comfortable . Make sure you buy a bigger size than normal and if that be not enough you can always cut between finger if it bother -lrb- this be my case , but after cut a small hole they be very comfortable and have a nice grab -rrb- . delivery be fast too . +938 Gloves POS 5 excellent weight lifting glove . I purchase a pair about ten or so year ago and use they regularly -lrb- three time a week -rrb- for almost five year before I have to replace they . I especially like the 3\/4 finger length since it prevent blister . rugged , fairly price and excellent quality . they be also machine washable . +753 Gloves NEG 1 I buy these glove for my husband to protect he hand from become dry and crack . he drive a delivery truck and lift bundle of linen tie with string . when I read about these glove , it sound as though they would be durable and waterproof . they be neither . we have have they for approx . 2 month and 4 out of 5 finger on each hand have tear through the tip . poor !! +310 Gloves POS 5 these be a pair of my first training boxing glove and it be a great choice . I use these for training and these glove do the job . they be very easy to put on and take off . fit be perfecct even with hand wrap . Everlast 's ever fresh technology be the best thing about these glove because after a good training session my hand be super sweaty , all you have to do be let the glove air out to dry and it will be free of nasty gym sock smell . the mesh material let you hand breath and keep the glove from collect fungus and bactierium . I would recomend these to anyone and after all , Mike Tyson use Everlast so it be gotta be good . +508 Gloves NEU 3 these glove be very comfortable and excellent for fitness in a standing position in the pool . . but overall they be extremely bad . I use they maybe 2 month and the palm on the right hand glove start crack until it finally break down completely . I order normal hard swimming pad but those be only great for swim stroke only . . im force to buy these for the fitness sadly ... I wouldnt buy THEM if you be going to DO SWIMMING LAPS with THEM Yes for the fitness and resistance part . +323 Gloves POS 4 I buy these glove for my weight training class . they be nice and comfortable , but can be tight in between one or two finger . but this can be resolve with a little adjustment periodically . overall a good product for the price . although at a later date I would want to buy better , more expensive glove . +29 Gloves POS 4 great product for bag class but no one say that the 16oz would be larger in size the the other boxing glove . I think someone suppose to mention that it would be bigger than the other glove in size and shape ... +992 Gloves POS 5 i receive the item within a few day , it be very fast . the quality be also amazing i be love it +73 Gloves NEG 2 I be a carpenter from Upstate New York . I would not recommend these glove for cold condition . I have find when the temperature get really cold they be useless . I have to get a warmer glove . they be especially cold if they get wet . you hand be dry but cold . I have find they be good in temperature above 15 degree , but for a winter glove you would expect better . they seem to be make alright , but after two day some of the thread have pull out . we shall see how they hold up . so far after three week , they be still hold up with no more problem with the thread . I think this problem come with the job though . +720 Gloves POS 5 I can guarantee you that whoever write badly about these glove be Mr-Warm-Up-Your-Left-Hand himself and a lowly competitor of Harbinger in the glove market . what a phony . Amazon need to find that jerk and pull he ad ! that much be easy to see . I wear these glove for 2 hour lift weight , and my hand do not even begin to sweat . they fit fantastic . when you do wrist curl , you do not even notice that the glove be on . they be that good . they have padding in between the layered , soft-leather palm . if you be bench press huge amount , you might want to consider a harbinger glove with a pro rating as these be only rate intermediate -- still great glove . they have a snug fit because the leather be splice with small elastic area , make they cool to wear due to the breathability . +217 Gloves POS 4 buy these glove . I be 5 ' 11 '' with medium size hand . when I first put they on they be so incredibly tight that I be consider return they . they have stretch and fit perfect even with wrap underneath . good buy +263 Gloves POS 5 these be just the right glove for drive and do a small amont of work . you can wash they which make they last a extremely long time . +598 Gloves NEG 1 I order the 14 oz in red . they fit well , have the right amount of padding for spar and moderate heavy bag work , and the lining breathe well and do not smell . after the fourth use , however , they begin to split at the seam and the stuffing start to come out . I would love to think it be because I punch that hard , but I think it be because these be not make well or be defective . return they and buy more expensive glove . +324 Gloves POS 4 first , I should say that I have never worn another glove , so my opinion of the Harbinger 143 be not the result of comparative analysis . several year ago when I first decide to use glove for weight training , I buy these and they work well , so I have stick with 'em . my recent purchase be my third pair -- they hold up for a long time ; in fact , my previous pair be still in good condition -lrb- purchase a few year ago -rrb- and I only buy a additional pair to switch up the color . before the most recent purchase I look into other glove -- just to see what be out there -- but they all either seem insufficient or excessive . the Harbinger 143 be nothing fancy ; they just get the job do without get in the way . +131 Gloves POS 4 receive this glove last week , really good glove . the padding seem a little thick . the extended finger lenght be quite helpful . the only other thing be that there be sharp edge that i be able to trim very carefully . the initial fit seem tight but it have eventually loosen up . +540 Gloves POS 4 well , this glove be good for the price . fresh out of the box they be stiff and kind of hard . after a couple day of use on the heavy bag they get softer . it be be about three week of use -lrb- 4 day a week -rrb- and they feel good . still not as good as my twin special , but for half the price they be decent . +0 Gloves POS 5 I like these workout glove . they be nicely pad , which be important when use heavy weight or do thing like pushup on dumbell . glove be important when lift for prevent injury as well . I can not count how many time I have scrape , cut , pinch or nick my hand or finger just put weight on or take they off the bar . my hand be medium\/large and I buy large . I would not recommend a smaller size unless you hand be small\/medium . +692 Gloves POS 5 I be build up my back ahead of time for a 3-level back fusion operation . these actually take I to cardio level when I use they swim lap in the workout pool . I would not swim without they . fantastic product ! +942 Gloves NEG 1 I buy these to use with my heavy bag . I have average size hand and these fit almost perfect , maybe slightly loose , without wrap on . but you need to wear wrap , and these would not fit with wrap on . also , the chemical smell on this be pretty strong and it make I feel nauseated . I be not sure what to do , because I do not want to spend a lot of money for glove . but these be useless . +412 Gloves NEU 3 these be cheap , which be a big plus , and be fine for training , but feel a bit sloppy . Pretty much what I expect -- I just want a back up pair of glove to keep at the office for when I head to the gym from there instead of from home . +315 Gloves POS 5 timely shipping and accurate product description . aside from the logo , the glove work great as part of a Dr. horrible costume . +360 Gloves POS 5 very well make , wear well . these help immensely with a work out . word of caution - this be we second pair because in addition to my son who love these glove , we dog do also . do not leave they lie around ! +146 Gloves NEG 2 these glove have a great fit and pretty good design however , I have wear they for approximately one hour before the first stitching have give way . I see from the other review this be a common problem . give that I work with rock , dirt and other abrasive material , I be question the wisdom of spending -lrb- $ $ $ -rrb- for a glove whose stitching give up the ghost in the first 1\/2 hour of use . I will not buy another pair unless the quality of manufacture go up . +624 Gloves NEU 3 as a professional plumber who do alot of renovation deal with some very tough material , I find that these glove hold up as well as a good pair of leather glove . the price be about the same -lrb- I pay more for mine someplace else -rrb- , but the dexterity with the Ironclads be excellent . I be try the heavy duty one to see if they last any longer . +273 Gloves NEG 2 I have have multiple pair of Harbinger glove but a different model in the past . -lrb- and have always be satisfy -rrb- the XL 's of this model be so small I think they have to be a woman 's size . FYI , this model seem to run very small in the XL size . +596 Gloves NEU 3 I have be lift free weight for the past year and decide it be finally time to try use some glove to minimize the damage the weight be do to my hand . after read through the review , I buy the Harbinger pro FlexClosure Wash & Dry Gloves . while the glove themselves do the job , they seem to be bulkier than they need to be which sometimes make I feel less comfortable lift heavier weight . overall not a bad product for the money , but if you be look for something slim then I would look elsewhere . +505 Gloves NEG 2 it be way too small ... size large feel like a small medium . I do not try to return it . just not use it . +71 Gloves POS 5 I buy this for my husband and it end up better than what we expect . he be very happy with this product . not only be it perfect but they ship it out and the next day it arrive here !! a + +805 Gloves POS 4 these definitely do what you would expect and be fairly comfortable -lrb- although you may have some sore shoulder the next day ; - -rrb- . I be not sure if I should get the medium or the large and wish I have go with the smaller size . +857 Gloves POS 4 I have have no problem with this product . I will be most likely re-purchase they . they be clear , vinyl glove with a small amount of powder . not too bulky . nice product . I carry a box to work with I everyday - I work in the medical field . I do not know if I would recommend they for heavy-duty physical labor as I have not use they for that purpose . I just wish shipping be cheaper . +39 Gloves POS 4 I order these speedo glove to replace some older one I be use that have a side zipper . the velcro be much easier to use but unfortunately the `` small '' with velcro be much bigger than the `` small '' I have with zipper . they be usable but definitely on the large size . when I compare the two , these be at least a 1\/2 inch larger in length and width . a extra small would have be appreciate but it be not offer . +808 Gloves POS 5 purchase these glove from Amazon and I be extremely pleased with they . they fit well , they be supple , allow small item to be pick up while wear they and after considerable use and several wash they still look almost like new . they be the best glove for the money that I have find so far . +77 Gloves POS 5 I have be look for glove like this for year , warm tough and a really good fit . I be in the construction business and therefore be force to be out in the worst possible condition , I hate winter but these glove make it a little more tolerable . the best I have ever own by a wide margin . I also drive a Tundra so they be even more appropriate . I might just buy a pair for each employee and put a stop some of the whining . +5 Gloves POS 5 these be excellent medium duty work glove ! soft and flexible enough to handle screw and bolt with out a problem , yet strong and durable leather palm and extra leather pad in the right area to protect you hand . the velcro on the elastic wrist band keep the glove in place . they fit like a second skin . the leather palm would provide some low heat protection , but the back be weave plastic so do not try welding with they . I personally wear these glove most of the time while I be work . do not just buy one pair ... but two or three ! +475 Gloves POS 5 love these glove , though like other reviewer state , you should definitely order a size larger . I go up to a XL and they be still fairly tight before I break they in . +45 Gloves POS 4 title say it all . I buy the x-large -lrb- that be my normal glove size -rrb- but should have purchase the large -lrb- the glove stretch slightly -rrb- . +629 Gloves POS 5 they be comfortable , durable , and do not cost any more than the cheap glove I normally get . have the option to change size be a amazing benefit and make a huge difference . +128 Gloves POS 5 ever since I first try on Harbinger glove , I say that I would never ever try another brand glove . my older Harbinger glove -lrb- harbinger 133 -rrb- last for a very long time and be so comfortable . this time , I pick the harbinger 143 pro . when I first put it on , I think I have to return they because it feel so tight even though my older glove be medium as well . just beware that it will feel pretty tight when you first put it on . then I work out with they and that break they in nicely where it feel comfortable . it feel nice and comfortable , look great and appear to be high quality where it would last a very long time . PS . my older glove have shorter finger length like the Harbinger 138-flexfit so I have more `` feel '' and less bulk . the Harbinger 143-pro have 1\/2 finger length so that it protect more of you finger better . I do not realize until after I buy they . do you want better feel or more protection for finger ? something to think about . I give these glove a 4.5 out of 5 star . +134 Gloves NEU 3 overall , these glove be make of 70 % leather and feel pretty solid on hand , when lift they help by reduce friction of the bar and weight on hand . but there be two severe problem with these glove that knock off two star from this review : 1 - so before buy anything on the internet I read lot of review as experience reflect the truth . when go through some of the bad review of this item I notice some people be have trouble with the size mark on this page as be smaller , so I think , ok there be many good review and the sizing be the problem so I buy a larger size , when it arrive I immediately put they on and they feel perfect -lrb- almost too perfect -rrb- . when I try they out at the gym I start feel they very small specially between the finger and when hold onto a bar and lift it the glove put too much pressure on the webbing of the finger cause a `` itching '' pain make they very uncomfortable almost to a point where I be not able to close hand . so now I be consider buy 2 size larger to get around that problem . 2 -rrb- the velcro pad to secure wrist stick to other part of the glove when not in use , drag out the synthetic fiber out of the fabric make it look use and cheap . the advice I give you if you be consider buy this be that if you wear Medium buy Extra large for example , two size larger . +538 Gloves POS 4 I be just in between the m and the l -lrb- 8 '' circumference -rrb- , so , base on other review about go up a size I opt for the large . though the glove fit , it be a little bit loose , but not enough to say I buy the wrong size . I do see how other user could have the pinching between the finger , but since my glove be slightly roomy , I do not have this problem . I have have it for a few week and use it 3 time a week for freeweight , kettlebell , and strap . I be glad I buy these glove . I give 4 star because it should be possible to get a snug fit glove without the pinching . +821 Gloves POS 5 it be hard to go wrong with everlast product . if you be a woman order this product - a 14 be around a small-medium size and should fit most woman . THESE RUN SMALL . order larger than you need . +339 Gloves NEG 1 I use to count one ironclad glove , but for the last three year or so , the quality of workmanship have fall off dramatically . the stitch between finger unravel well before there be wear to leather portion . they look cool , and fit well , but if they come apart , they become dangerous around equipment . +757 Gloves NEG 2 these dainty and delicate glove be a must have for anyone 's Halloween wardrobe . but I do not recommend they for actual metal work . as crazy as it sound , I use they for welding - hobby level at that - and the lining in mine rip free when put my hand in on the second day . the feel lining go up to the wrist , where it be sew to the leather shell , albeit poorly . +364 Gloves POS 5 harbinger glove : deliver well ahead of the deadline . congratulation to Amazon . excellent for weight lifting . very comfortable . Worth the price . total satisfaction . +539 Gloves POS 5 these be the best glove I have come across for roofing . these glove have outlast all other . dexterity and grip be good . Wearout be great as these kind have be in use daily for two month before the finger tip wear out . in a roofing enviroment that be great ! +833 Gloves POS 4 the glove be great . high quality , durable and comfortable . even though I receive XL when I order l , they do the job just fine . the $ 14 price tag be a bargain for the quality . +482 Gloves POS 5 I live in a area be it rarely reach below freezing but rain often . I buy these glove for extended work session where ski glove would shred quickly . the last pair of ski glove I be use to work outside have a Goretex liner . my hand stay dry , but the glove themselves would eventually become waterlogged . before purchase these Ironclad Tundra I be careful to check that there be a outside layer of protection of the element so this would not happen . they have work well for I in this respect . these work great for my purpose . I do not treat they like leather work glove , or expect they to keep I warm at temperature far below freezing . I like the extended wrist , it help keep cold water from run up my sleeve under my jacket . the thin layer of Thinsulate keep I warm enough in my climate and do not make it hard to do my work . these glove have last I through a couple of winter so far , but I do not work outside all day every day . design be compromise and these glove make all the right compromise for my purpose , include ... cost , weatherproofness , breathability , Coverage , durability and warmth ! +935 Gloves NEU 3 not enough padding for good heavy bag workout . will wear down you knuckle with these guy - better to buy a more expensive pair and save you hand +726 Gloves POS 5 good product -lrb- I buy four different type of ironclad glove -rrb- and fast delivery . excellent ! +983 Gloves POS 5 these glove be extremely comfortable . they have plenty of padding for comfort but also allow a good range of motion .

I call then send picture as per they request and never hear back from they . so I send the glove back and still have not hear from they . I do realize that it be the holiday , but I would like to have the glove back , damage free . +232 Gloves NEU 3 you would be forgive to think make a fitness glove be not rocket science , but actually manufacturer can go wrong quite a bit . I have buy this particular glove as it promise to be washable . while I have yet to try that aspect of the glove 's performance , I be sure it will do well at that . I be not too impressed with the rather rough finish , get the glove on be not a pleasure the seam be not cover and the back of the velcro actually rub against the skin . once on and at it though , the glove perform fine , do not however support you wrist -lrb- the Reebok model do a excellent job at that , albeit at a much higher price -rrb- . I also do not like the latch with which the glove be attach to the cardboard packaging , I recommend you cut those off . consider the price , you be get a good -lrb- but not very comfortable -rrb- glove at a reasonable price . I find a method to wash even ` non-washable ' glove though , I put they in a black cotton sock -lrb- to prevent color bleeding -rrb- and treat they with a pre-wash product and then wash it on the hand wash cycle at a low temperature . do not put they in the sun to dry and avoid a tumbler at all cost , the product will have a surprisingly long life that way without the smell that seem to accompany workout glove after a while . +234 Gloves POS 5 while I will not profess to know what these be make of , I do know that they serve the purpose intend by my family . these be not intend as a costume , nor as welding glove . my family use these to reach into the oven and or grill and not be burn . in that role , they perform very well . good utility for less than $ 10 . +520 Gloves POS 5 I realize a need a glove to increase the amount of weight i could lift . this make do squat , dead-lift , lateral pull down , and dumbbell pretty easy . I can actually get my muscle to work rather than hurt my palm . decent padding , decent price . yes , I read other review , order one size larger . I also try the size in sport authority before order it online -lrb- its be 3 dollar cheaper on amazon -rrb- . the material near the thumb look little cheap , let see how long they last . overall happy with the purchase .

I would highly recommend these glove to anyone that do weight training . +358 Gloves POS 5 I have be use Speedo webbed glove , but they leave my fingertip expose to be cut on coral . these Body Glove web glove cover you fingertip . they be also softer , so they be more comfortable , and you can use you hand more easily to manipulate you gear without take off the glove . they fit I well without have to re-stitch any of the finger -lrb- as I have have to do with other webbed glove -rrb- . +26 Gloves POS 5 these glove be great ! I use they for food preparation -lrb- raw meat , dice chili pepper , etc -rrb- and they have be excellent . many similar glove I have get in the past will have several glove that tear or break when I put they on , but none so far for I ! the only thing be the glove be a little large ; I order XL and wear XL for most other glove-related thing , and these glove be somewhat -lrb- barely -rrb- loose . I kind have expect glove to be a little more snug , so I guess I 'll buy l next time around . +85 Gloves POS 5 I get these for my dad for father day and he swim every morning during the week , these help to get he shoulder back up to par after he surgury and make swim a total workout , def . worth the purchase +281 Gloves POS 5 have use these glove for a while , on my 3rd pair , and they be great . slip they on and off with no problem , they fit my hand perfectly there be no bunching or loose fingertip which make I want to wear they for just about anything . the exterior do get cut up and nick pretty easily but I would rather the glove get tear up than my hand . I use they for pull up carpet , tack strip , work on the car , some yard work , hammering , put up wall stud , drywall , plywood , store holiday decoration and any other possible use I can come up with . +23 Gloves NEG 2 I have use Harbinger glove in the past , and recently get these . but I have to return they because the stitching at the wrist near the label pull away after two wearing , and it seem like other part of the stitching will do the same soon . they be also very small ; I get a XL base on my prior pair be XL , but these feel like m or l. +932 Gloves NEG 1 be a journeyman carpenter in the Chicago area and face extremely cold temperature in the winter I be always look for a good fitting glove . this glove fall apart very quickly if worn everyday for one week . unfortunately there be not a lot of alternative glove out there for a carpenter to wear in the winter . these glove wear out fast and do not keep you hand very warm . the only good thing about the glove be that they allow for a tight grip . I wish someone would develop a real glove for carpenter . +214 Gloves NEU 3 I have to say these be the best glove I have ever use . I be a professional electrician and need to have extreme dexterity to do everything from individual wire to connector . I could differentiate screw within my pocket with these glove on and yet my hand be warm in the winter . the only downfall and reason for the 3 star be the glove fall apart spontaneously after 1 month . almost all the wear surface give way at once . they be great glove but may not be right for continuous use over a 40 hour work week . +318 Gloves POS 4 these glove be great for general use as well as move box and equipment at outdoor event . overall , the glove be very durable and provide superior protection while allow the dexterity to use the key on a Blackberry . after be soak in rain and mud at a outdoor event , glove hold up well after be wash . after about one month of use , bottom velcro on strap come loose , but otherwise no complaint . +92 Gloves POS 5 it be a very good protection for my join , ` where i get hurt most of the time . however , this be not 4 sparring , trust I on this . +497 Gloves POS 5 just the right fit . I be so happy with both the product and the price , I buy two - one for I and another for a gift for the owner of the pool I swim in ! +377 Gloves POS 5 one of the best glove , for a certain type off weight lifting . I use it for my chest exercise , it give very good padding , but if you a look something that will give you a good grip , get something else . +221 Gloves NEG 2 base on the metric to determine the size I need to buy , I find myself to be a medium and purchase one only to find out that its a little tight . I would have return this product any way because the material use be so rough , I feel that I would get more callous on my hand by use this product than not use it . +337 Gloves NEU 3 I be a pretty skinny guy and size large be still too small . the glove be nicely pad , but not comfortable at all . I return it and get the GoFit one instead . +733 Gloves POS 5 i have order these before , and this be my second pair . i like that they be small and easily fit anywhere for storage . they do good when i be deal with the gym equipment ... i do not have to worry about my hand get ugly and get those rough spot . i recommend these to all woman that want to get they work out on ! +33 Gloves POS 5 I buy these glove for heavy bag training and Krav Maga . they be excellent ! it will take a couple hour on the bag to ` break they in ' just because the outside material will be tight be new . the padding be enough to protect the hand no matter how hard you hit , as well as for light sparring . only con be that you hand will heat up quickly in these unless you take they off every so often . I would recommend not tighten the velcro all the way unless you be seriously fight or spare . +196 Gloves POS 5 these glove be a little pricey in my opinion , but this retailer have they at a competitive price . they be a good fit for we woman with small hand who can not find a `` small '' , though they be not exactly snug . I have order these work glove several time because they last for at least one season , allow I dexterity with the nice fit & the price compare favorably with similar glove . +353 Gloves POS 4 I buy these to protect my hand from grow a bunch of callus . I tend to get they easily , and especially so when lift weight . these be sturdy glove that also offer some wrist support . the first pair I receive have a stitching problem that cause the material around the thumb to come loose so I return they for another pair . Worth note be that these glove run a bit on the small side . I get a large , and they feel pretty tight compare to other large glove I have use in the past . you could definitely get a larger pair than you usually use and be fine in my opinion . +62 Gloves POS 4 I have only use they for a few casual project around the garage and around the yard . they fit well , stay on well , and be comfortable . no problem grip small item , pick up nut and bolt . better suit for the garage than for yardwork . Rose thorn etc. , go through they pretty easily , but that be not what they be design for . good value . +723 Gloves POS 5 these be some pretty decent lifting glove . they be cheap and construct well enough , although they seem to run a little small size wise . I normally wear a medium in glove , but with these , I have to go large . they have handle some very heavy weight while provide adequate protection for my hand . the Ocelot glove with the wrist-strap be of a little higher quality though , and also run small in they size -- more so than the Harbinger . a good buy , especially at they price . +828 Gloves POS 5 I have be use these glove for two year . the quality of fit be not match by any other glove money can buy . if you be do work that put a lot of wear on glove , such as haul firewood , go buy cheap leather glove . however , if you be go to be do work where you actually have to use you finger , or you find yourself take glove off every five minute to do mundane task , these be the glove to get . I use they outdoors everyday at work , and they work great for any activity where you need good grip , and maximum dexterity , such as shooting . for those review that complain about they not be waterproof , that be a advantage . these glove breathe much better than any waterproof glove , allow you to keep they on when you be use they to work in the 100 + degree weather . they also provide excellent grip and fit while soaked . I have use they dry down to 25 degree . if you be look for a glove to get wet in the winter , go buy ski glove . also , although it be not suggest by the manufacturer , I have machine wash and tumble dry these glove quite often , and have never have any ill effect . +391 Gloves POS 5 thanks for all the review which convince I to buy those glove . I love the glove : very well protective -lrb- knuckle , thumb , and wrist -rrb- and very easy to put on and take off . they really `` fit like a glove '' for my small hand . I certainly will buy those glove again . I agree with many review say those glove be small for average-man hand . I use to have another Everlast sliding-in glove with elastic band , which be very inconvenient to put on , especially when wear glove on the other hand . 10\/10\/2008 -lrb- update -rrb- : I still use those glove -lrb- in black -rrb- . I buy another pair in blue . I alternate the pair every other workout . I have be use they 3 days\/week for 4 to 12 3-minute round with 30 seconds rest . they surely last long and protective . +393 Gloves NEG 1 I have a pair of water glove make by Power Systems but wear they out . I send the Speedos back . I could not get the wrist strap tight enough to keep the glove on my hand . a couple of sweep through the water -- off it come . also , they just feel uncomfortable . a different size would not have help . +640 Gloves NEU 3 First of all , everyone who want to know how it look , please only look at the first two picture . the picture follow by the third picture be upload by other people and the glove actually do not look like that . at least , no narbinger brand name on the 2nd finger on the left . why I be go this 3 star because of two thing . the comfort be -1 , and the durability -1 . 5-1-1 = 3 star +709 Gloves POS 5 this be my first time try this brand of glove and I be compare it to Mechanix brand -lrb- which my last pair I have , split OPEN from the inseam down to the wrist -rrb- . really bad flaw that I have see other revier note ! anyway , the only size that be available when I order be Lrg and XLrg ... I be hesitant because I be accustom to Med , but the Lrg be not much different except the fingertip be slightly longer . other than that , nice and snug . padding be great on the knuckle , top of the hand and reinforce palm and top part of the thumb , forefinger and middle finger . the general feel be a little bulkier than the thin Mechanix fast fit 's thin , light feel , but I prefer this in the cold weather . there be even a sewn loop on the inside wrist if you would like to run lanyard or cord through to setup handy carrying . happy with my purchase . +428 Gloves POS 5 buy the 16oz for training . these glove fit great with wrap on , they be just perfectly tight !! the material be pretty good , not as great as leather , but you just can not go wrong with the price !! +27 Gloves NEG 2 grant that handle pruning from fruit tree be a stress application for a work glove , but I be still disappoint that a seam in a finger fail on the third use . nice fit , very comfortable , but I be not go to buy another pair . +125 Gloves POS 4 I have be use these glove for a month and have be hope they would stretch out some . they have stretch out some over time but not enough . I read the review before I purchase they and see all of the comment about how small the glove be so I order a xxl size even though I be typically and XL . upsize the glove 1 size be not enough for I because these glove and too be still too small . they be very well build and should be very durable , the size just stink . if you be consider buy these glove you should upsize they 1 - 2 size . +865 Gloves POS 4 Mechanix be recognize in the work field as a leader in a comfortable and usable glove . the person wear Mechanix glove feel more `` one with the glove '' rather than fight the normal `` I be wear glove and can not grip anything '' trouble we have all experienced . these fast-fit glove be a tight , but not too tight , fit to feel like the glove be you hand , which create a better work experience , no matter what profession . personally , I use these glove for woodworking , and they work great for it . it give the the protection and grip I need while still maintain a good , comfortable feel . a good glove , can not have too many pair : -rrb- +127 Gloves POS 5 I have a clarinet grow up and i love to play , well i retire my old one and have be talk about get another one but just never get around to it . well for christmas this year 2010 i get a new one . i love it . it sound great , play well and i love the color . music be my life and i cant wait to pass tih on to my daughter when she get to the age to play ! +633 Gloves POS 5 only have they for a full workweek so far . delivery driver . great palm and fingertip feel , and I can do all the thing I need to do in they -lrb- diad -rrb- . great x cross grip on the palm , the terrycloth part over the thumb be good for keep the sweat out of you eye . and the back be a light spandex mesh . now if only they can last . week one : just break in . if they last a month I 'll get another pair . when people ask where you get you glove , you know they look good . +427 Gloves POS 5 these glove be make well , durable , comfortable and a great value . I lift weight 2 to 3 time a week , to take a little stress off of my hand and assist my grip I buy these glove . they be very comfortable and fit perfectly . I buy a medium pair and they be definitely a snug fit , but not too tight . I have not have any issue with excessive moisture buildup or anything that would cause these to work improperly . great price , great fit , and perfect for heavy lifting . I would highly reccommend to anyone look for a new pair of weight lifting glove . +788 Gloves POS 5 I purchase a pair in early October 2008 . it be be over 2 year and they be just now start to wear out . they get some pretty heavy use from I too . I think 2 year of heavy use be pretty good for the price . they have comfortable padding too . however it be not so thick that it interfere with lifting . before the pair in 2008 that I have now , I have another pair I get in early to mid 2006 . I think it be actually a similar model that be out before they make this one . like someone else mention , it be the thin leather around the thumb that end up with a hole . that be what always happen . I like they , so I be go to buy another pair . I 'll probably be back in early 2013 to get yet another pair . I think they be that good . I have try a lot of glove , but never find one I like even half as much . +708 Gloves POS 4 these fit small compare to my other harbinger glove . my other set be a medium , so I figure a medium would fit . it do not . should have order a large . the skin between my finger always get pinch . I still tolerate it though . these glove have padding in all the right place for every exercise , pushup , bar , free weight ... after a few month of use these glove , they still do not smell which be AWESOME . I could not handle the smell of my old glove and I could not get rid of the smell . they be not the wash & dry like these either which be why I retire they , even though they be still physically in good condition . these do not show much wear\/fatigue indictive of failure . very well craft and build to last like my old harbinger glove . would recommend and buy again . +775 Gloves POS 5 ive have these glove so far for 3 week , and they have be awesome ! they have plenty of padding around the palm , and offer plenty of protection . the only downside be that they do not cover so much of the wrist , but at the same time , by not cover the wrist as much , you have more mobility with you hand than you would with most other glove . I would recommend these glove to anyone ! +655 Gloves POS 5 these glove protect my hand from blister while I de-thatch we 8,000 sq. ft. yard . the process take a couple day and my back hurt , but my hand have no blister . +559 Gloves POS 4 very handy to have around if you have to change a tire , shock , or anything relatively dry . be soil easily when deal with moisture , oil , gas , etc , and become a bit unpleasant to use . +129 Gloves POS 4 these glove work great . I have be lift with they everyday for about 3 week now , and so far be very pleased . they breathe very well . the only complaint I have be a minor one , they be somewhat difficult to get off , especially once you get kinda sweaty . not a big deal for I though because I put my glove on at the start of the workout and do not take they off until I be do , but if you be the type who take the glove off and on I suppose it might be a consideration . +209 Gloves POS 4 these be great workout glove for the price . great ventilation and protection during a hard workout . the only problem I have with the glove be that it run a bit small . +18 Gloves POS 4 Estos son lo guante que mas I gustan para nadar . Mucho mejore que lo aqua sphere . El asunto e que duran poco . Despues de una 50 ida a nadar , ya estan muy roto y hay que conseguirse otro . Tambien hay que tener cuidado con el tama & ntilde ; o. yo tengo manos grandes y solo I sirven bien el tama & ntilde ; o medium . Por el resto el producto e muy bueno , y comodo . +639 Gloves POS 5 this be my first pair of mechanic glove . I must say , these be by far better than the blue latex glove mechanic usually wear . these actually offer great protection for you hand when work around heavy car gear -lrb- suspension , control arm , etc. -rrb- my only regret be I wish I buy these sooner when I be do more work on the car . +486 Gloves POS 5 I send 2 pair of these glove to my son in Afghanistan . he be a mechanic and work out on the flightline every day . it be cold out there . he state these glove be perfect for he need . I send two , because one of the other review say they wear out quickly . I be not sure if this be the case , but if it be , my son have another pair . the price be good and reasonable . Amazon ship directly to my son 's APO address . he receive they about a week after I place the order . he have no complaint and be very satisfied with the glove . 5 star for the glove , and 5 star to Amazon !! my son be 6 ' 3 '' with very large hand . the XL fit he perfectly . +774 Gloves POS 4 First off , they be size a bit small . grant , I have very big hand , but I have to exchange these for the xxl 's , and if they have XXXL 's , that probably would be even better -lrb- I normally wear XL ... sometimes xxl in glove -rrb- . if you be debate between two size , DEFINITELY get the bigger of the two . other than that , they be very good lifting glove . they do the job , protect my hand while lifting , seem to be well make , reasonably comfortable , and they be nice-looking , as a bonus . far less expensive than other one I look at , and I be very happy with they . +366 Gloves POS 4 these glove be pretty comfortable and still leave a good bit of dexterity to work on the small stuff . they stay on securely and seem fairly good quality . +648 Gloves POS 5 these glove fit better than the other mechanic type glove I have try . some fit too tight at the finger tip , but these do not do that . nor do they bleed ink or shred . Easy to pick up washer or drill bit . keep you hand nice for dinner ... +883 Gloves POS 5 I like these alot better than the male harbinger in all actuality . ive have both however i like that i do not have to strap they on each time which while i wouldnt say `` save time '' defiantly just increase this version simpleness . I skate with these , i go to the gym with these and at both they have a nice grip and a fair amount of cushion without feeling heavy . this be like my third pair and i keep get these -lrb- i go -lrb- pretty hard while skating and always destroy they after 6 month or so -rrb- . +345 Gloves POS 5 these glove be great -- just what I have hope for . another reviewer be helpful in state that the size run large , so order a small rather than a medium be the right choice for I . +439 Gloves POS 5 best price on earth and very fast shipping ... feel good on the hand i know that this pare will last for a very very long time you can feel the quality of Harbinger honestly do not wash they yet but I be sure they will survive personal recommendation check the size chart and masseur you hand i do it and it be fit perfectly love they and be my first one actually as well enjoy ! +16 Gloves POS 4 I like these glove . there be plenty of padding , I use 108 wrap underneath and my hand do not hurt at all after beat hard on the bag for a hour . I get the 14oz pair . I do not have very big hand and they fit a lot better than most of the other glove I have try . the wrist strap be not the most secure , but these be good glove for the price . +917 Gloves POS 5 I get these to do my `` pick '' in local garage sale and auction . I have long finger and they fit really well , I like leather better , but these really fit and I hope they last a while . +408 Gloves POS 5 I be use these glove for garden chore , move branch , rake , etc. . so far they fit well and be hold up well . +75 Gloves NEG 1 present image be completely misguide . image show circular forney logo , white band below wrist , and light gray over hand and top wrist . what i recieved be a pair of gray welding glove line in black with a single word Forney Logo on the top wrist . if i know they would be like this i would never have buy they . these be completely Gray and the image do not show black lining . +25 Gloves NEG 2 these glove may be good for aerobic , but they only last my first 5 month of heavy bag training and some light spar before the seam start fall apart . the glove be fine to try to see if you like boxing , but for long term use look for a higher end glove , especially if you hit harder than a 60 year old woman . +192 Gloves POS 5 this be my 4th pair of aqua fitness glove , my 2nd pair of this exact Speedo Aqua Fitness Glove . allow the finger to protrude through the end of the glove be a great benefit . with other glove , water build up inside the glove and , if lycra-backed for example , the glove become like a big balloon after a short while . these Speedo glove allow the water to pass through the glove and out the finger-hole . in addition , the material the glove be make of be much sturdier than other glove I have have . the palm hold up well as do the back . I recommend these glove and will always use they in my water fitness exercise . +725 Gloves POS 5 this be the second pair of these I buy in a medium . I have read about the problem people have be have with fit . my hand be typically a little smaller than a medium glove and these fit snug , a little tighter than most medium glove I buy . because I think they be suppose to be tight , this be probably about what I expect . I hope that help on size for you . the velcro do not always stay on , but I be not sure of a better way to bind they at the wrist . I be not even sure you need the wrist strap because the glove fit snugly and do not slip . be they the best around ? I do not know , I have the opportunity to try other brands\/styles on at the store and do not like the way they feel , but never use they in a pool . -lrb- I be not `` one of those guy '' , the store either do not have these or they be outrageously price . -rrb- anyhow , I buy they for my daughter think they would be handy for a river-tube trip and try they in the pool . they do not feel like they be do much until you be do swimming . then you arm feel sore , and if you take they off and swim it feel like you hand have shrink ... and you can not get power any more . in other word , what a great work-out ! I buy the second pair for myself I like they so much . +969 Gloves POS 4 first I want to make a slight correction to the previous reviewer 's text : the size\/weight of the glove do not change accord to the size of you hand but , rather , to the size of you , the user of the glove . if you be a average size male you will be hard press to find a spar partner if you only have 10oz glove : nobody in they right mind would agree to spar with you because with such small glove the risk of injure the receiver of the blow go way up . hence 16oz be the standard size for spar glove . woman can use 14oz and child 14oz and 12oz depend on how big they be . the point with heavier\/bigger glove be to protect you training partner . anyway , on with the review : these be good , all-around sparring glove . they over-all quality be quite good and even the velcro be do well so you could use these for thai boxing as well without scratch you partner 's neck and shoulder when clinch . however , I find that when you put more power behind you punch you knuckle tend to come through a bit so they be not the safest glove around . still they be good enough for pretty much anybody who be look for a good pair of glove for spar . I recommend that you get a separate pair of bag glove or 10oz glove for bag and mitt work since hit the heavy bag and focus mitt harden the leather which , again , make the glove more dangerous to use in sparring . remember to wrap you hand and wrist when hit the heavy bag in order to avoid knuckle , wrist , and shoulder injury . Everlast be a good company and for the most part they make quality product . these glove do what they be suppose to do . +293 Gloves POS 5 this product be absolutely perfect ! my first pair , get they a few month back . so far they be pretty durable . ever since I start use they , I no longer get callous from lift weight , which be my main reason for get some . I recommend these glove to my friend who be not wear glove and get callouse . the price be a bargain to the value of this product . do not know would I still be do weight if I never have they . +222 Gloves POS 4 these be the best glove that I have own for wait training . the padding be perfect and there be plenty of flexibility for my finger . my only complaint be that machine wash these thing do not seem to get they very clean . I go the hand wash route and it seem to help a lot ... but when I set these out to dry everything nearby be stain yellow from the dye of the glove . just be very careful when wash these and let they to dry . +407 Gloves NEU 3 I heed the warn about the size from the other review . I wear a man 's medium in every glove I wear -lrb- skiing , dirt biking , cycling -rrb- . I buy a large in these and they be still too SMALL . I wear twice and give they away to avoid the hassle of return they . then do seem very well make and design , however ... +626 Gloves POS 4 I would recommend this glove for heavy bag use . I box and train MMA regularly with amateur and pro fight in both sport . although this glove be of high quality I would not recommend it for heavy sparring . the wrist support be good for a heavy bag glove , but be not sufficient enough for hit the human body . the padding will protect the hand , but not as well as the traditional lace up glove . the foam be a little more dense then those such glove . great starter pair of glove . +484 Gloves POS 5 I have purchase these glove in the past and they last I several year . the other thing I enjoy about these glove be the fact that the finger length be longer then normal which help protect my finger . +521 Gloves NEG 1 I use a pair of these glove for less than a month and the stitch on the finger give out in one place and have start to come apart in about 3 other . I have use the glove around my home , do light carpentry and groundswork . it appear from the review that I be not the only one to have this problem . i call Ironclad and they say , probably defective , no problem just return to amazon - which I do , and receive a full refund . I would be willing to try they again , but I end up purchase a different brand from a local vender . +686 Gloves POS 5 have have ALTUS Leather glove for a looong time , which do a pretty good job , these be quite a few grade higher in term of overall quality , comfort , functionality and convenience . sure my old ALTUS Gloves be washable however they really be not create with that in mind at all I imagine , give they be entirely leather and get very sweaty-dirty quite quickly . these harbinger breathe quite nicely indeed , fit very comfortably pre-break in , and have a keen sense of design both in cut and design . they really enhance you concentrative strength instead of less than optimal functionality insofar as try to always adjust to avoid grip\/palm pain for example . these be great for many different use aside weight ... I notice a reviewer mention they be great wheelchair glove , and I can clearly see how easily they can be . also great for drive , alot of outdoor work and also I find they to be great for tactical use and training as well . very nice subtle cushioning in all the right spot . personally I find the pair in black look rather appeal , very intelligent design and perfect stitching . and of course , be machine washable be ideal with no indication of degradation . for I one bit of advice would be buy a size larger for more dextrous use - they will shrink - although break back in just fine for lifting , however for thing that require more finite handling , I find shrink down and break in a larger size certainly make the difference . a couple pair will definitely come in handy for a very good time . +233 Gloves NEG 1 I have have several pair of ironclad glove that be quite satisfactory ; however , the last pair purchase start come apart immediately . the closure at the wrist -lrb- on one glove -rrb- fall off the first time I wear they . all of the stitching be unraveling . sadly , it appear they quality have decline significantly . +394 Gloves NEG 1 I buy these glove hope to use they in cold weather condition , for handle tool and equipment . these be a good fit and closer to the skin , but they do not keep the water out . what be the use of a glove if it get wet ? I be obviously not gonna be use a glove as a decoration on my hand , it be mean to shield my hand from external environment , be it water , fire or cold temperature . and since it rain frequently here in New york , whenever i wish to wear these glove outside , they immediately get soak by water render these glove useless . +638 Gloves NEU 3 this be a basic boxing glove for heavy bag punching and low intensity sparring . I use these glove twice a week and it be hold up fine so far . how long the glove will remain usable be something to be see . +11 Gloves NEG 2 I think weightlifting glove be one of those item that you really need to try on before purchase . nevertheless the price be right on Amazon so I take the plunge only to find out that the size be not ideal . I be somewhere between a l and a XL , but the way these glove be make I do not think either would have fit I quite right . the glove look ok , but there be some strange sewing\/fabric near the finger that just irritated I enough to not want to wear they when lifting . ever since my wife make I start lift with glove to avoid those manly callouse I can not lift without they , but I much prefer the Nike strength glove which be make of a much thinner fabric and have a zipper to close as oppose to irritating velcro . +296 Gloves POS 5 I work in film\/television production in the art department . that mean we need glove that be capable of handle so many thing out of the ordinary as well as the ordinary . these be also the glove of choice for the hard work electrician and camera crew . they move heavy equipment along with the more `` delicate '' item . I even use they in the horse barn . I easily wear they comfortably all the 12-14 hour day . thank goodness they wash out easily because I ask they to do thing any other glove I have have would not be able to do . after two year , yes , two year of regular use , my handy ironclad start to show a little wear , so I give they to a friend who love they , too . after another year I finally misplace my next pair of handy `` second hand , '' so I be back order another pair . yes , the price be more than you garden variety of glove , ... but we all know we get what we pay for . ironclad be a great investment ! ... and I be mighty particular when it come to tool ... +544 Gloves POS 5 these be the best `` grip '' work glove that I have ever buy . they be slightly snug fitting so they stay on you hand well , even when you be do a activity like pull heavy cardboard box off a pallet . you can easily turn the page of a book and use a pen to write with they on . you can also drive very comfortably with they on . I have be buy these glove for about the past five year from local hardware store . in my line of work , which involve : move box make of cardboard and plastic , drive , and manipulate sheet of paper daily , they 'll last approximately four month . Amazon 's price be the best I have see so far . +249 Gloves POS 5 these be by far the best glove I have be able to find at a reasonable price . I have have they for about 9 month . I usually throw they in the washer once or twice a month and just let they air dry . all the other glove I have try would have have at least one or two hole by now . the only minor problem be they run a bit small so would order one or two size larger . +485 Gloves POS 5 I purchase these glove with the intent of buy another pair of cheap glove . but I be glad to say that the padding have not wear down . they fit nice . the only thing be that they fit small . so if my suggestion be to go a size bigger . overall I give they 5 star . +746 Gloves POS 5 I buy these glove to hit the heavy bag and practice my Krav Maga when I be not use my Harbinger MMA style glove . I can not speak to the durability of these glove because I have have they a week and only use they once but they seem decent . they do the job with protection and the mesh ventiliation allow for some cooling -lrb- if that be possible with wrap -rrb- . I would recommend these glove . I like the velcro because I can use my tooth to get the second glove on . as other have mention , the only downside be the smell . holy smoke they smell like they be forge by mutant in a radioactive toxic waste dump and have the ability to easily stink up a small non-ventilated space , even when not in use . I be hope that fade over time and my better smell BO take over . put these glove on , wear you three wolf shirt to the gym , and do not be surprise when the lady start throw they phone number at you . +581 Gloves POS 4 great glove for landscaping . Knuckle and finger protection be great . these glove will last a long time . unfortunately , I lose they . so I will be buy another pair . only negative thing about the glove be the stitch on the palm come off , but do not affect the performance of the glove . also they do not provide enough grip when work with hand tool -lrb- axe , pick , sledgehammer , etc. -rrb- but overall they work great for handle branch , log , concrete , and any other rough material . +823 Gloves POS 4 this glove be ok for training . they run a bit small but they work just fine for mel Hopefuly they last . +910 Gloves POS 4 acquire for a Halloween costume -lrb- Dr. Horrible , from the web musical Dr. Horrible 's sing-along blog -rrb- . in that context , these glove serve well , though they do make it hard to grip Cheetos . +773 Gloves NEU 3 I purchase these in the hope that they would be much more durable than the leather glove I have be wear out in less than a month . I find that the palm and finger tip cover be very durable , however the stitch that hold those piece on be not up to the task . also the spandex on the side of the fingertip be now let my finger through . if I may be so bold as to make a couple of suggestion , if the entire fingertip be wrap in the kevlar or at least the side have leather isnstead of the spandex , it would be a huge improvement . and if they could come up with a little tougher thread these glove would be excellent . +594 Gloves POS 4 these glove be very durable and provide excellent grip during exercise . the only thing I would want more from they be a little extra wrist support but this do not mean that I do not love they . I just buy a second pair for a friend and I have have mine for nearly a year and they be in perfect shape even after 2 wash cycle . highly recommend . +431 Gloves POS 5 these glove be just as comfortable or more comfortable than any other glove I have own . they have a great , leather feel , but be machine washable . very impressed . +108 Gloves POS 5 i have be use it for a long time and yes its a great product and recommend other to buy it . you may find quality little bit low but in this price its really worth to have one for the work out . remember to order one size up than you usual size , so large equal to XL . +239 Gloves POS 4 a little tight-fitting to start with -lrb- I think that will change with use -rrb- , but just the ticket for the fitness kick-boxing class I be take at LA Boxing . not so big and bulky as the 14\/16 oz . glove that most folk seem to wind up with . +120 Gloves POS 5 I be very pleased with the quality of this product . the delivery be very quick as well .

I have to exchange this purchase because the size do not seem to stay consistent . +95 Gloves POS 5 I buy these for my dad ... he have be want some glove for work outside as he be get blister on he palm . so far he be very happy with they ... they fit he nicely . he have big hand and work outside a lot ... they have a lot of pad on they and move well as well . the only thing I dont like be that they kind of look like motorcycle glove ! +656 Gloves POS 4 I have use a lot of harbinger product in the past , these would be my favorite glove if the largest size be just a hair bigger -lrb- this be why 4 instead of 5 star -rrb- . pro : - Easy to machine wash , have not have any problem , no seam break , etc. . - Perfect padding . allow for good grip without sacrifice the comfort of the glove . - good velcro . this be a problem in the past , where after a wash or 2 they would not stay tight . con : - size run very small . previous glove be always l\/xl . xxl be still small for I , but wearable . - finger divider be a bit sharp . this probably would not be as noticeable with correct size . like I say great glove for the money , I be happy with the purchase despite the size . +612 Gloves NEU 3 I read the customer review before purchase this product . everyone recommenede order one size up . instead , I order accord to the size chart on harbinger 's website . accord to the measurement , I require a medium ... which be what I order . upon receive they I find they to be surprisingly too big . they be loose , and unlike other customer , I find the finger hole to be quite big . I double check the pacakaging and tag inside the glove . they both claim m. I hate the hassle of return item , so for $ 10 ... I will probably just give they away . still a waste . they seem to be of good quality , other than be slightly scratchy on the inside due to seam . +658 Gloves POS 5 these be my first pair of workout glove , so I do not have anything else to compare they with , except for biking glove . I have be use these glove for a month and they be still work well and be comfortable , flexible , breathable and durable -lrb- and a bit thicker than biking glove -rrb- . however , some of the threading be fraying -lrb- normal wear-and-tear -rrb- . I do not have any problem with fitting ; I use the size chart on the product page to select my size . the glove webbing around the digit occasionally get tight while work out . +834 Gloves POS 4 this be my second pair of these glove , so obviously I be satified with the quality . the glove be great for training and for help to perfect you stroke -lrb- they make it very obvious when you be not do thing correctly -rrb- . the only reason they do not get five star be because , as other reviewer have mention , the wrist be a little loose . the velcro do not quite go over far enough to tighten they up to where I would need for they to be snug . it be a little distracting when swimming , but definitely workable . +647 Gloves POS 5 Hola a todos de verdad I gusto el guante , es de buena calidad , con respecto a la talla I quedo bien lo habia pedido s y perfecto .

I like my lifting glove pretty tight and it might not be the glove itself but in the begin the stitch inside dig a little into the skin between you middle and ring finger . have not break the skin but can be distract at first , they need to be wear a little . +414 Gloves POS 5 warm , light , comfortable and tough . they be great for metal detect work and I like they a lot .

I box 4 time -lrb- heavy bag , spar -rrb- per week and use 2 pair of glove -lrb- so I use each pair twice per week -rrb- . today these glove be start to tear on the side and on the inside . plus , the `` hook & loop '' tie be too short and do not take up when you punch too heavy . do not waste you money buy they - put $ 20 or $ 30 more and buy Ringside , or rival - brand . Update on April 27th : the `` dense two-layer foam sandwich '' -lrb- as they call it -rrb- be begin to fall apart - piece by piece ! by the way , do not believe the thing about preserve from bad odor - these glove stink . I be very very disappointed about they - never buy Everslast ' glove again . +404 Gloves POS 5 I boughtthese for my boyfriend for valentine 's day in red . they be a little small for he big hand but he do not complain about much discomfort . they come promptly and be package very nicely .

I find another use for they about 2-1\/2 year ago , when I begin ride my bicycle -lrb- a road bike -rrb- during the winter month to train for a long distance century ride . I be not satisfy with my full finger cycling glove which be warm , but not snug fitting . I try these glove which fit great , have a good grip on the handlebars and provide some cushion for my palm . the dexterity , comfort and grip make for a excellent combination with the shifter and brake control on my bike , even on long ride . they have hold up well , but I find it be time to get a new pair . they be warm enough for California winter , and comfortable even when the weather be warm . the terry cloth sweat wipe on the back side be a nice feature for keep the sweat from you brow and eye too . I recommend these glove for lighter work , and also excellent for cycling glove during cooler weather . +101 Gloves POS 5 these pair of glove be great . they feel and fit greatly and most importantly protect nicely . one thing I have notice though , that the palm lining on the outside of the hand be a little off , as if the gray lining cover a little more on the side . nothing serious though : -rrb- still they be great quality , great overall glove . +872 Gloves POS 5 the ironclad general utility provide warmth , comfort , a excellent grip , versatility , and to top it off , they look great . what more could you ask for ? +49 Gloves POS 5 it be very difficult to find rubber glove in child 's size .

I do not have big polar bear paw or large foot so I need all the help I can get , swim . they do get waterlog , of course , but they stay on and be relatively comfortable . I also use they for stand up on the bottom work out for my upper body . I really like they . +826 Gloves NEU 3 I read some of the review that say these glove tend to run a size too small . so when I see they reference the glove size by the shoe size , I get the 10 to 12 inch , because my foot be only 10.5 . but when I put they on , the glove feel tight . I be almost debate return they to get the next size up . so yes , take they size recommendation whatever range you fit into , and go the next one up if you want to make sure they will fit nicely . +52 Gloves POS 5 these glove be purchase for a little bit of home repair and mechanical work . they be very well padded and seem to have the same quality as glove sell in Home Depot for 19.99 . also like all glove , they all tend to wear down , I would personally by two pair and save myself from have to order they again later . +646 Gloves POS 4 before I write a review for these , ill explain the size difference . contrary to what people be say just because you have a big hand do not mean you should op for a 16 oz . the 16 oz be for spar , mean that it have extra padding near the knuckle area to protect you partner , not you . the 14 and 12 oz be bag glove , mean they provide protection for you hand but not what you be punch . do not spar with these as they could critically injure you opponent . that be say if you plan on buy these and join a gym , you should opt for the 16 oz , as most gym have a 16 oz minimum . I opt to buy the 16 oz because im a amateur fighter and for conditioning purpose . these glove be very snug when you put they on , but do not worry because like shoe you will need to break they in . the thing i didnt like about these glove be the thumb lock , as put the glove on by yourself become almost impossible . however these be very high quality glove for they price and you be get what you pay for . +384 Gloves POS 5 I take a combat conditioning class at my gym . these glove work great and have a great wrist support . I have use they about 10 time so far and have not have any problem with the quality of the glove .

I have not use they very much so far , but I know they 'll hold up for a very long time . they be very durable and add just the right amount of padding so you can still get a good grip on the bar . +997 Gloves POS 4 I have buy this product in the past , and have find these glove to be best weight lifting glove for the money . they hold up better than other glove that I have purchase . will buy again when these glove wear out sometime next year . I put the glove thru a lot , as I work out four or five day per week , and my typical session last for about 90 minute . +661 Gloves POS 5 I buy these for my husband for use in he wood shop -lrb- 1 pair -rrb- and a second pair for use when he work on the car . we have a unheated garage and minimally heated wood shop . during the winter month -lrb- in Wisconsin -rrb- it allow he hand to be warm when work ! +193 Gloves POS 5 well make comfortable glove . I buy they to wear while do yard work but believe they could take more of a beating than I 'll ever give they . +190 Gloves POS 5 these glove be a great investment if you spend a lot of time in the gym . before use these , lift would put a lot of stress on my hand almost make it unbearable to continue . while wear the Harbinger glove , they provide my hand with ample protection when lift weight , do pull-up , etc. . the only bad thing be the natural color get a little dirty but other than that you can not go wrong ! +41 Gloves POS 5 I get this for my dad as a gift or possibly more of a replacement . I pretty much destroy the cheap glove that we use for work on car . these be beyond in the difference in quality . these glove be awesome ! +155 Gloves POS 4 Below be my previous review . however , today I cut a section out of the bottom of the glove , at the thumb and forefinger so they can be use to adjust equipment . this also let more water flow inside the glove which cool they . good for people in warm climate . I raise my rating to 4 star from 1 base on the fix . I love use swim glove . they be all really great exercise equipment . so this review be not about swim glove in general but these glove . for what I need and why I buy they they be a huge disappointment . my hand tan too much even though I use a lot of the correct sun block and I do not like it . I also really need my finger to protrude so I can deal with my mask , snorkel and my underwater mp3 player . I be a woman with average size hand . I buy a medium . they fit . but my finger do not stick out . if I could just push the glove down when I need to use my finger that would work - but I cant push the finger down because there be a seam between each of the finger . I use they anyway because they be the only uv with open finger I could find so far , but I be not happy because I must remove the glove to adjust anything . they be also very very warm . this be great for the people in cold water . I swim in Florida and it be really annoying . I loosen the glove and let water in which help a bit . I be use they but still look for a better pair . +892 Gloves NEU 3 the size chart be at -lrb- ... -rrb- -lrb- scroll down that web page to the Aqua Fitness Gloves section -rrb- . accord to my reading of the chart : 8cm palm width = small 8.5 cm = medium 9-9 .5 cm = large 10-10 .5 = xl . to use the size chart i measure the horizontal width of my palm start from where the thumb meet the palm . my palm measure 9.5 cm and the glove that arrive -lrb- size large -rrb- fit , but a little snug . so i think i read the chart correctly , since accord to the chart my hand be at the upper end of the size large . I do not mind the snugness at all , except there be a little too much pressure in the crevice between my index and middle finger . it be not uncomfortable enough to return the product . in all other respects the product fit well , be comfortable , and seem very well make . i have never use swim glove before . i expect they would produce more resistance in the water than they actually do . so i do not know how much they will increase the strength building i be hope to accomplish by use they while swim . give how difficult the seller and manufacturer make it to figure out what size glove to purchase , the discomfort between my index and middle finger , and the limited use the glove probably will have , i only give the product 3 star . if i be to rate the product purely on the quality and strength of the material i would probably give it 5 star , and if my only issue be the discomfort between the two finger i would give it no less than 4 start . +98 Gloves POS 4 I enjoy how these glove last for quite some time with all the work i do throw freight -lrb- stock shelf -rrb- they have save my hand from turn into hamburger . +754 Gloves POS 4 I love these glove and have own they for quite some time . they be reliable and take a verrrry long time to wear out .

I use they as mechanic glove as well as for roofing maintenance and tile repair . they do not tear easily either . +524 Gloves NEU 3 the glove work great but be tough to get back off . whatever size you think you be , buy 2 size bigger if possible .

I work a lot outside with appliance delivery and such and yesterday it be 104 degree and wear the glove be not uncomfortable at all with the wick action of the fabric they be make of . do not think this until after I be finish but yesterday I change a compressor in a refrigerator in a home and do not take my glove off from the the time I start until I start my truck a hour and 1\/2 later . nothing i do in the process require I to take they off . even pick up schrader valve and small item be do with these glove on . I have two pair : one pair I keep in my truck and one pair I keep on my desk so I be sure to have a pair handy put on when I need they .

I have wear they for two week now and have not have a problem . my hand be no longer callouse and the glove feel good when I be wear they . I measure my hand and find they to be 7.6 '' around so I order the medium size -lrb- after much ponder on whether I should get a size up like many people say -rrb- . I make a good choice as they fit nice and snug . do not be dismay if you feel that they be uncomfortable and tight at first , you just need to wear they for a while to make they fit better . I would also suggest stretch out the hole that surround the finger a bit while you be wear they -lrb- do it gently ! -rrb- to make they feel better in that area . +705 Gloves POS 5 I buy these glove as a gift for my boyfriend and he love they ! he say they be really comfortable and provide a lot of support . the only very small downside be they be a little bit difficult to take off , so they do tend to run a little small . but other than that they be a great buy ! +461 Gloves POS 5 product work great , all the review be true ; inexpensive and perfect for basic protection and comfort . fit and stay on great . +481 Gloves POS 4 this be a good basic training glove . Works well and be adequately pad . one strange problem be the web between the middle and ring finger be fairly shallow compare to the rest of the glove - so while it do not `` pinch '' it do press against the web of my hand if I pull the glove on tight . although if I simply put the glove on without pull it down , it be fine and do not cause a problem while work out . +454 Gloves POS 5 I choose the medium size glove and I be glad that I do ... they fit perfectly ... the glove be comfortable and really help you get more from you workout . +148 Gloves POS 5 ok .

'' Heart rate get up higher , too . great product . +60 Gloves POS 5 I have have a pair of these for three year now and highly reccomend they . I be a avid outdoorsman ... fishing , work in the yard , and a hell of alot of hunting in the fall and winter ... these thing be tough as nail while still allow a decent amount of dexterity ... enough to eaily and accurately re-load any firearm . they be not warm , but they protect you hand better than any glove I have ever worn ... 3 year and go strong . by far the best work glove on the market +721 Gloves POS 4 they fit a little tight . I go by the size chart on the mechanix website and it show that I need to get a medium . I always wear large size glove but I decide to get the medium because I though maybe the mechanix have a slightly different fit . well , when I get they I put they on a regret get a large . the fit -lrb- just a little tight -rrb- so I do not bother return they . the glove themselves be okay build , certainly not for heavy duty use and be a little on the thin side . +995 Gloves NEG 2 unfortunately I do not have many good thing to say about these glove . as far as comfort , flexibilty , and overall fit I would rate these glove a 5 . however , as far as be call package handler glove I think you should change the name of these . I be a true package handler for one of we major shipping company . these glove do not stand up to the box . within the first week I have no rubber grip leave on the palm and finger tip . within the first month I already have hole in a few of the fingertip . I have own these glove just over a month and they be no longer any use to I . end +659 Gloves POS 5 good look . comfortable . strong grip on the strap -lrb- yet still comfortable -rrb- . breathe very well . OVERALL A great purchase for around $ 10 +715 Gloves POS 5 I follow everyone 's advice and buy a pair one size larger . the glove fit I perfectly ! before buy I measure my hand 's circumference use a small ruler - it be hard but I measure about 20cm which be ~ 7.9 inch = medium . so I order large . Perfect fit ! almost all the negative review of this product be about the size and nothing else . it take I 15second to take off each glove . it be not hard at all . I love how my hand never sweat ! other glove make you hand sweat but not these one !! so the design definitely work . since the hand do not sweat , the glove do not give out a smell which be great also ! the glove look great . they feel great - very tight feeling . they be extremely comfortable and I love wear they ! the length on the finger be just right , as well as the length on the wrist . when I first put on the glove I think - good amount of padding . when I go to lift weight for the first time with they on I think they have more padding than necessary . after 3 day of lift the padding have soften up and now they feel perfect ! pushup : these glove help I a lot ! before when I do not have glove my wrist would hurt when do pushup -lrb- standard -rrb- , but with these glove my wrist no longer hurt and the number of pushup I could do noticeably increase ! one thing to note : when lift light weight the padding sort of interfere with you `` accurate control '' . for example , I do skull crusher with a curl bar and only 45lb -lrb- light weight -rrb- and I be able to do much more rep without the glove . on the other hand with heavy weight they work perfect -lrb- e.g. bench press or barbell curl -rrb- and my number of rep increase noticeably now that I have glove ! so : excellent for heavy lifting , but for very light lift you should not wear they . verdict : highly recommend these glove . when you get they , try they on for a couple day and you 'll come to love they ! so far I have no complaint whatsoever ! this review last update on : 3\/18\/12 +89 Gloves POS 4 I pick up these glove a few year ago and I be still use they . they primarily help I with gardening , yardwork , and light construction . the leather on the finger have start to wear out , but they be still quite usable . the fit be accurate and snug ; exactly what you want in a pair of glove whose main goal be to reduce wear\/tear and filth on my hand . I have since purchase a separate pair of ironclad for heavier duty use and for operate equipment -- I be just as pleased if not more so with they -- ironclad make some quality product ! +786 Gloves POS 5 bought 5 pair for the guy in the family for Christmas and be give as gift . all be more than pleased .

Preferred the old model +30 Gloves NEG 2 the quality of the item be decent but for my palm the pad be too thick . I have get small palm . when I do pool exercise I can not have good grip of the bar or dam bell so it fill uncomfortable . now I use Nike training glove which be very thin and thin one I keep for other time . +878 Gloves POS 5 I be look for glove to wear during my teacher lead exercise class -- tough on hand to do pushup on concrete ... and band often slip in sweaty hand . these be great glove and a even better value -- and love that they can be wash . here be one word of caution -- be sure to order the next size up from what you normally do . they run very SMALL . all in all great product and recommend highly . +352 Gloves POS 4 I write this review when I first get they , but one pair do not last nine month in the chlorinate pool . so I guess I will get another or maybe two to alternate. : this product be perfect for my entire swim routine : walk in the pool -lrb- push I along -rrb- , do squat against the wall -lrb- it allow good secure grip onto rail and wall -rrb- , and crawl stroke -lrb- better workout -rrb- . I give it 4 star instead of 5 because I think I would like it even better if the webbing go right to the top of the finger and enclose they ... ok , so it be now a few month later since I edit this review and the two set of these swim fin I get in May 2008 have start to seriously deteriorate with normal use . they be rip alongside the seam where they be stitch . so I be send they back to Amazon and yes I be order replacement and this will be the last time . if they fail this time , I will send they back to Amazon and I will look for another brand . I will reduce the star to 2 . +674 Gloves POS 4 good product . I would not follow the size chart on the Mechanix wear website . it size I at medium when I know i need larger glove . I order the XL when they be on sale and really happy with the fit . +119 Gloves NEG 2 this be my first attempt at lift glove , so I do not have a lot to compare it to . but these glove be a disappointment . they be both too loose and too tight . my hand be about medium length for a guy , but they be kind of petite and small with regard to width of palm and digit . I buy these glove in extra-large . they be too small in that they kinda pinch the webbed skin in between each finger . they be kind of painful . and they be too big overall , lot of extra fabric , all over . they be just too big for I . I do not believe there be any size of this harbinger glove that would fit my hand . on the positive side , the Harbinger glove have a -lrb- somewhat -rrb- grippy material on the palm that will help you get a better grip on the weight . this be good , because it feel kind of scary holding weight when I can not feel they like I use to . I hate lose the sense of touch that come from wear no glove . but the callus be get to be a problem . the biggest problem with these glove , though , be they basic design . when you bend you hand to hold a bar , you have all this extra fabric that bunch up at the intersection between you palm and finger . the solution , of course , be to find a glove that come pre-bent , so that you can not easily flatten you hand , but when you bend you hand and finger around the bar , there be not any extra fabric to bunch up . today a buy a new pair of glove at my gym . they be `` Valeo Ocelot Lifting Glove '' size medium . these be really comfortable and actually fit my hand . the inside of the glove feel great . one problem be that the palm side of the glove have no grippy material , so it be hard to get a great grip on the bar . that make I really nervous , because lose you grip on the bar could be disastrous . and these Valeo glove have the same problem as the Harbinger glove - when you bend you hand around the bar , all this extra fabric bunch up at the intersection between you palm and finger . this really mess up my ability to get a good grip on the bar . so , the Valeo glove be a much better fit than the Harbinger glove . but neither be great . I need to find a `` pre-bent '' glove with a great grippy material , and less fabric overall to bunch up . if you know of one , please comment . thanks . +160 Gloves POS 5 I be give a set of these glove to evaluate for a magazine story , along with a couple of set of the regular MW glove with the wrist strap . I fall in love with all of the wrist strap glove -lrb- the more common style -rrb- for all the automotive and hobby farm work I do . the best feature of the MW glove be the way the finger be make . they fit better and allow for a better sense of touch and more detailed work than any glove I have ever own . the other impressive feature about the MW glove be how long they last . I get out to work as often as possible ... nowhere near full time ... but I be still wear out at least two or three set of hardware store glove a year . the MW glove be give I at least a year . when I finally use up the `` free sample '' wrist strap glove , I finally put the fast fit to work and find my true `` glove love . '' I be on and off with my glove a lot and the strap become a bit of a pain . the fast fit glove come on a off easily but they stay on when you want they to . the perfect compromise for I . I need glove more than most because I go from be a office worker to a laborer at a moment 's notice . I spend most of my time peck on a computer keyboard and my hand be not tough like they once be . these glove offer a great fit , extraordinary feel and outstanding wear . my hand be addict . Update 2012 : significant change have be make to these glove and I can no longer recommend they . the latest be thinner and not as well construct . I could barely get a year out of the last set I purchase . Sears now offer a craftsman glove that be every bit the equal of of the original fast fit glove I love so I advise check they out . +174 Gloves POS 4 the glove be very strong and well make , but the zise be unspecified you have to be carefull in order to choose a the rigth zise . +903 Gloves POS 4 I have be use Harbinger glove for 3 year before I decide it be time for a upgrade . these glove be awesome ! great fit -lrb- though I would suggest go one size higher -rrb- and feel good too . +926 Gloves POS 5 I be 5 '11 and I weight 215lb and I wear a XL glove . I work out with a lot of free weight and I have always find that the bar be always too small for my hand and finger to get a good grip . now these glove have a lot of padding to they which make the bar feel larger . I wish I would of new about these thing sooner but I use to think they be only for people who didnt like callus . not only do it make the bar feel like the right size for I but it give I the perfect grip throughout my rep. also when bench press I sometimes role the bar when finish my last rep and I havent feel any pain in my thumb like I have in the past . I think wear these will really save not only you skin but you joint in you hand and wrist by allow you to get into a more natural and comfortable position on the bar . Hope this help +678 Gloves NEU 3 order these after try a pair I borrow from my instructor . unfortunately , Amazon do not have the brand she have loan I . I be disappoint that the size medium be too large . -lrb- my hand be not small , even for a female . when I use they for the first time the velcro fastner catch in my swimsuit and pull , then because they be too large water get inside the glove . I will donate these and purchase the other brand . +939 Gloves POS 5 I order this clarinet because I want to learn to play a wind instrument and I like the color that be different .

I have progress from one glove to the next in a little under a year , and I would recommend start with the regular because its design to be safer . +333 Gloves POS 5 this be my second pair of iron clad ranch glove . I use they every day throwin hay , scoopen horse crap . Roundin up the horse . they be extremely comfortable . they last about 9 monthe with daily use . I get a extra couple monthe with the use of duct tape , before I break down and buy a new pair : -rrb- +850 Gloves POS 5 I have reach the point in my training routine where the hand discomfort of grip the weight be prevent I from progress . I read the review offer and order these in the large size since the consensus seem to be that they run small in size . they be easy enough to wear and grip , not too stiff , and very breathable . +900 Gloves POS 5 I buy they for some sparring and bag work , and they work just fine . they might be a little hard , but they be not bad . they break in pretty quickly . +894 Gloves POS 5 I want glove to use while snorkeling , which I do frequently , so I could use only my arm to get around and get a upper body workout . these be perfect . I fly through the water without use my fin and really work my upper arm and chest . as mention by many other , order smaller than usual . I normally wear large glove but order medium on these and they fit perfectly . that be great advice by the other reviewer , thanks . +587 Gloves POS 5 I have previously buy harbinger glove and all I have to say be they be make with very good quality . never disappoint with my purchase and the glove hold up to all the weight that it carry . Great enough ventilation for my hand and give I just the right amount of cushion . do not think this will break on I but should I ever lose this pair , I will definitely go back and buy this one . +346 Gloves POS 5 these glove seem to be good quality and stitch well in respect to its price the size chart be not accurate and these be much smaller than you think . I usually wear a m or l , but i have to order XL for these because I read these run very small . the other reviewer be definitely accurate in they description so be ready to order 2 size larger . the XL be very tight the first time i try they on , but do loosen up after wear they . also , the wrist strap do not really help stabilize you wrist because the glove be too short in length . they need to be 1-2 inch longer to effectively wrap around you wrist . this be go to be important if you be do heavy lifting . overall this be good pair of glove with some minor flaw . just make sure to go check about the size . +205 Gloves POS 5 I use these glove for work , where I handle box all day ! they last I at least 6 month before I have to buy another pair , which be fine consider the price . these glove be great , and for the price , it do not hurt to try they out for yourself . I highly recommend Mechanix +400 Gloves POS 4 nice quality for the price , but even if you follow the instruction for measure , consider get the next size up . +684 Gloves POS 5 I wear these glove for work , where I be constantly digging with a shovel , pick , or bar and they be outstanding . they endure as long as any good pair of work glove should . I also use they to operate heavy equipment which require dexterity from a glove and they perform well there as well . more interestingly however be that I wear they skydive . while skydive it be necessary to use a glove that allow you to feel so that you can find you hacky use to deploy you main parachute ... and if necessary so that you may feel you emergency handle . it be also desire to have somewhat of a sticky texture for the very same reason , as well as to maintain a good grip on other skydiver when do `` relative work '' . despite the fact that these be `` fast fit '' they do not come off in the air , though they do allow I to remove they quickly if necessary . I have recently be jump in cold weather as well . I add silk liner when jump in cold weather but they be the only glove I can use with the liner and still maintain very good dexterity and feel , and be plenty warm when combine with the liner . +606 Gloves POS 5 glove be right size and perfect for my field . glove be make well so that they be be not stiff . they almost feel like they be break in . +819 Gloves POS 5 I have not actually use the glove yet , since I have not reach a high enough weight where I be limit by the pain in my hand , but I do try they on and they feel great . they also come promptly and without a hitch . +999 Gloves POS 5 I always wear glove for yard work , when shoveling , rake , etc. . prior pair of glove always have the same weak spot , the finger and thumb tip . they eventually end up with hole . at that point the glove be useless to I , although the rest of the glove be fine . my hope be that the kevlar in the ironclad glove will take care of that . if so , they will be great , and well worth have . the initial price of these glove be more than most work glove , but if they do not end up with hole in the finger tip they should last 2 , 3 , or more time longer than other glove . we 'll have to wait until I have wear they for several month before I 'll know . the glove fit well and have good stitching , etc. . and , the leather be not stiff . they be comfortable . they definitely run a big small , so if you think you be between size I would definitely get the bigger size . and , if you typically wear a medium I would get a large . I typically wear medium in other glove , but large in Ironclad fit I best . +665 Gloves POS 5 I purchase a pair of the IronClad Cold Condition glove a couple of year back . I really have not have to use they since it have not be very cold in the Texas Gulf Coast until this year . I go to a police pistol training class today in the cold windy rain . with these glove my hand stay dry and warm unlike my fellow officer who have no glove . they be feel the effect of the cold wet weather . another thing I like about these glove be the dexterity of the fit and grip . I have no problem load my pistol magazine and operate the safety on my pistol . these be great glove and be worth every penny . +759 Gloves NEG 2 the glove be good for cold weather with 200g of insulation but for snow removal\/wet snow removal in 30 min 's my hand be cold and still dry . I could see the break down in the glove 's ability to be waterproof . however I buy these glove to keep my hand dry , waterproof , and warm . these glove fail in the warm category . when the glove 's get wet and start retain water my hand get cold this happen about 30 min 's into snow removal . the work part of the glove have hold up for be tough . +967 Gloves POS 4 great product but the quality need to be work on . the thread along the inside of the glove will fray within day . I pray they will not fall apart after a couple month of use . +801 Gloves POS 4 these be some of the coolest glove I have ever own , honestly mean it . they fit like they be taylore and just fealt good on my hand . the only thing I wish be that they last longer . I stock shelf for a major company so handle more box than most will see in they entire life . the cool box grip last quite a while , but do wear off and the under sinthetic liner be a little slipery . I do like that they be washable and it be need due to the fact on handleing milk durr work as well . they last just past the warenty , but I get every penny out of they . I have be look for a better glove for a more reasonable price . . have not find one yet and have go through a lot of they . the thinness and form fit of these glove make stock shelf awesome , not bulky and barely add to you hand size . I understand how much they save my hand from because I be not use glove at one point . this be why I highly recomend they . high quality , very well construct , and very comphertable , no weird finger hang oversize . +582 Gloves NEG 1 I buy these glove because they come highly recommend on a photographer ' chat site I frequent . I wear they one night when it be only ~ 30f out -lrb- ~ 20 if you include wind chill -rrb- for just a couple of hour and end up with frostbite . they do not live up to they name . do not waste you money . +224 Gloves POS 5 harbinger glove or very good work out glove . long lasting and if you wash they and let dry they or ready to go . +53 Gloves POS 5 for $ 26 -lrb- what I pay -rrb- you can not beat these bag glove with a stick . sure , if you be a professional boxer and be plan on use you bag glove hour a day then spend a lot more on glove make for professional would make sense . I have use these a few hour a week ever since I get they and they be hold up just fine and be very comfortable and easy to put on and take off . +568 Gloves POS 5 I be a beginner in aqua fitness .

I find these glove well make with good material . they give smooth movement in pool exercise . +96 Gloves NEU 3 ironclad tundra I do like these glove they do keep you hand warm as you working . if you be stand still not as great . I have wear they in about 20 to 40 degree weather and they have work well . in wet condition the grip be not as great as I expect . I test the glove in a bucket of water and the glove fail the test . I have yet to use they in heavy rain condition after that . they make work alright in light rain condition for awhile but I do believe you will get wet . I be find out you best bet in stay dry be the atla 460 pvc line glove . pvc be about the only thing that will truly keep the water out . you will sweat in these glove be well line I would suggest planning on have a fan to dry they out overnight for the next day work . . liner do pull out a little when you hand be wet . a little bulky hard to use with small control . as I start use they in wet condition the glove do not really have good grip and traction I think they would . I like the knuckle padding help to protect my hand in the condition I work in . I think these be decent glove but I will not buy another pair . +749 Gloves POS 5 I be hesistant to buy these earlier in the year as $ 30 be a bit pricey for a pair of glove . well , my wife surprise I with they on my birthday and I immediately put they to use while repair we deck flooring . it be about 42 degree out and my finger NEVER get cold . I almost forget I be wear glove , they fit so well . the velcro wrist closure be wonderful at keep dirt and such from get inside my glove -lrb- unlike my old , generic leather work glove . -rrb- consider I sell . +691 Gloves POS 5 I be not sure how to write a review for exam glove ... we use they to pick up after we dog and they be good quality -lrb- heavy duty -rrb- and the price be excellent . +245 Gloves POS 5 I have buy many glove 's like these over the year 's . these be a little heavier then I think they would be . really worth the money . +189 Gloves POS 5 I use these glove 3 day a week at a boxing gym for a structured workout . I be a woman 5 ' 3 '' with small hand . I have the 14 ounce glove and with my hand wrap the glove be a good fit . they be easy to put on and take off in between drill and I have be use they for the last 4 month with no complaint at all . I would highly recomend these glove for you heavybag workout . I like my workout at the gym so much that I want to get a heavybag for home use on day I dont go to the gym . +619 Gloves POS 5 I take aquafit 4 time a week and these glove really make I work harder . I get a great deal through Amazon Speedo Aqua Fit train swim glove +714 Gloves POS 5 the glove be exactly what I expect . I have always use weight room glove and this pair be a great fit . one minor problem though , the AMAZON site go into every important question ... except one ... . . they do not ask for size info ! fitness giant have to email I for size . +381 Gloves POS 4 do not listen to these other negative review . first off the glove description state `` rate to 32 degree '' so why these other reviewer would think they would keep they hand warm below that temp . be beyond I . second they never state that they be waterproof so of course you hand be go to get wet if these glove be subject to large amount of moisture . I use these glove for load truck in the winter time and they work perfect . have a pair for over a year and sure they be a little rip up but nothing too extreme to keep I from use they on a daily basis . even though I will purchase another pair here shortly for when these disintegrate totally . +730 Gloves NEG 2 the glove be not very flexible and be hard to move in . it be too big and bulky , and way too much money for what it be . I like the Youngstown glove a lot better for winter work . +405 Gloves POS 5 I work in agriculture and have try out many glove , for general utility , they work great . I have try a pair of Dewalt glove similar to these and they do not last a very long time . I have get some wear on the first layer around one thumb , but yet to see a hole . I prefer these glove over a general leather glove because of the snug fit on my hand . I recommend . +74 Gloves POS 4 I have have these glove for about a year and use they 3-4 time a week . I would say that they be the standard by which all glove be set . the padding be perfect . the construction be good -lrb- but not as good as the previously all gray model -rrb- . the fit be outstanding . they be easy to break in . one of my old problem with the cheaper glove be the palm padding tend to fold over time cause pain when lift heavy . these glove cure the problem . the padding be top notch . it be not too much or too little . the only problem be with the smell . I know glove need to be wash , but these need to be wash very frequently as the leather be more porous than usual and tend to absorb the sweat a lot as oppose to the cheaper glove . they color bleed in way that you can not even imagine , so make sure that they be wash on they own . one thing that I will note be that they be get better . the previous all gray version be much worse than these on that front . if you can handle this problem , they be absolutely perfect . these glove be about double the price of cheap glove , but the difference be in comfort . if comfort matter , buy these . +328 Gloves POS 5 I find some of these locally and I love they . they be well make , comfortable , and look cool . it be party make out of breathable material which I do not appreciate until a really heavy work out . +727 Gloves POS 5 these glove be inexpensive and work very well . the company provide they ship they the same day under super saver shipping and I receive they two day after place my order . I would not hesitate to order from this vendor again . +868 Gloves POS 5 I choose these glove as a alternative to overprice so-called `` tactical '' glove . I be extremely pleased . the glove be make very well and fit my hand like , well , a glove . they be form fitting , extremely comfortable and breath well . the velcro wrist strap keep they snug and keep dirt and other debris out . I would recommend you consider this option as a alternative to mall-ninja crap be sell under the guise of tactical . yeah , they be not midnight black but at least they be build to last . +755 Gloves POS 5 Came on time . Works wonderfully . even use they to make some hand balloon . keep kid hand clean when do art and craft stuff +15 Gloves POS 5 we buy these to pound on a punch bag and they work great for it . I have never own glove before and would not know good from bad , but these do a great job at what we get they for ! +312 Gloves NEU 3 these fit well in the palm -lrb- I buy the small one -rrb- , and they definitely add intensity to my workout . however , for people with small wrist , it be difficult to attach they by the velcro while still keep they tight because there be not enough velcro overlap . I will try rubberband the flap down to try to make they less annoying . +761 Gloves POS 4 I buy these glove to work on a horse and cattle ranch for a few week . the ranch have 27 horse and about 100 cattle , all need feeding every day and other care . I wear these glove for two week , all day every day , about 12 hour a day of hard work . I would say they have about 150 hour of hard labor on they . by the end , there be tare in the seam along the glove line but the rest of the glove be still hold up strong . all in all , awesome glove . if use for basic mechanic , gardening , yard work , etc. . these baby will last a long time . on a horse\/cattle ranch ? maybe two week . I be happy with the use I get out of they for the money , I do not expect they to last more then a few day . +66 Gloves POS 4 fit well , be comfortable . the big plus and minus be that these do not have the velcro wrist closure like the original . . this mean they be easier and more convenient -lrb- and hence more likely to be use -rrb- . . the minus be the minor possibility of debris enter at the wrist . . buy these . . +576 Gloves POS 5 I be ecstatic about these glove , so much that I just order another pair to have around when this pair wear out -lrb- not in the foreseeable future -rrb- . first , the size ... for comparison , I wear a medium in Nike batting glove , Nike golf glove , Specialized & Pearl Izumi bicycling glove , as well as burton\/dakine\/grenade snowboarding glove . simply put , I have always be a medium . my hand measure 8 '' in perimeter when measure accord to Harbinger 's size guide -lrb- see size chart picture -rrb- . the size guide work well for I so I would not deviate from its recommendation . second , the material - the back of the hand have thin strip of leather to provide structure and a elastic fabric that stretch to allow for a comfortable fit . the palm of the hand be very lightly pad , less than the gel padding find in high end mountain\/road bicycling glove . Third , finger coverage - the coverage of this glove extend just beyond my knuckle when I be grasp the barbell\/dumbbell so it do protect against callus on the underside of that knuckle area if that be something important to you . fourth , the velcro strap be secure inward rather than outward which feel strange to I . it be not a big deal but something that I would like to note . lastly , I do not feel any discomfort with regard to raise edges\/seams on the inside of the glove . though that seem like a trivial attribute to note , I quickly realize the importance of a seamless interior when my previous pair of glove cause so much discomfort that I would have long lasting -lrb- but still temporary -rrb- impression on my hand after my workout . in summary , this be a well design , nice fitting , and comfortable pair of workout glove . they be almost as comfortable as the nicer neoprene glove but these look like they may be more durable . the current discounted price -lrb- 10 % discount for harbinger product -rrb- make this a no-brainer purchase . at this price level , I see no need to splurge on a fancy pair of glove or risk the discomfort of cheaper glove . appearance wise , they look like plain Jane workout glove which I prefer . there be , as mention by other , a chemical smell when these be new but the scent be not strong enough to raise any safety concern . as usual , the rating on Amazon be spot on and I be glad I come across these helpful review . +822 Gloves POS 5 originally buy these for my son for Christmas 2010 . bought he a second pair to keep at home and he keep the other at college . great buy and the glove wash very well , too . +970 Gloves POS 4 with all thing this review be pretty much a pro and con list of thing that I have experience personally with my glove . after 2 week of 2 a day training in they I have a pretty good feel for they ability and short coming . pro : the glove itself have good hand\/finger coverage in general . the padding in the palm be thin enough for pull exercise but there be enough there to help support heavier weight when you be do a push exercise -lrb- i.e. bench press -rrb- . con : I have be a large in every other glove I have wear , I order the XL just in case they run small and find that even the XL size glove be smaller than the typical glove -lrb- they do stretch out after a day or so -rrb- . overall : I would recommend these glove . heavy lifter might want to seek out a harbinger brand with more padding . I have yet to wash they due to the fray around the wrist area and would like to get my $ value before test they washing\/drying durability . +171 Gloves NEG 1 good morning and receive the glove be break as in this case . since you be rip on one side . the yarn be gradually unstitches +706 Gloves POS 5 nice glove . in the past , I have have issue with my glove splitting or stretch out too much , even though I only life 2x per week now . have not have that problem with these . nice quality and snug fit . they look a bit bulky in the photo and they be a bit thicker than some , but they be not what I would call bulky . I would get another pair . these look like they be go to last I a while though . +374 Gloves POS 5 truly great glove use they right away to test they out , flexibility etc. . these be great and if they wear out I 'll be back for more . plus a sweat wipe be on the thumb area of the glove truly awesome +551 Gloves POS 5 it be ridiculously difficult to find decent work glove in a size small ! I guess in order to not be emasculate , lot of glove start at a size medium , and as a chick , that be still too big for I . with these , the small not only fit ... like a glove haha , but the quality be way better than what I have be use in a synthetic glove . price be very reasonable for what you be get . in case anyone want to know the content : 50 % synthetic leather 30 % polyester 10 % elastic 5 % foam 3 % polyurethane 2 % polyvinyl chloride , Rubber +84 Gloves NEG 1 absolutely do not buy these glove . at least not from Rogers Goods . not 1 hour after i start use the glove to rake the leaf off of my driveway the stitch on the back of 3 finger , 2 on one glove and 1 on the other , that connect the fabric to the leather have completely fall out . the glove be no longer stitch together so its pointless even try to use they again . the glove also give off a horrible musty odor like they have be sit around for 10 year . keep in mind the stitching be on the back of the glove , like where nothing would usually be rub on they , seem like a good design but these basically fall apart in my hand . +871 Gloves POS 5 these glove be comfortable and the price be right !

I still wear out the forefinger -lrb- tip and about 3 hole down the finger -rrb- but overall the glove be very good . it be comfortable and protected my hand well . the re-enforsed fingertip be good for use my hand in the soil . the velcro wristband hold it on securely and the add protection sewn in seem to be in the right place . the only drawback be , these glove offer no protection from the cold at all , but for a heavy work situation , I reccommmend this product highly . I intend to buy another couple of pair and perhaps the cold weather version as well . +288 Gloves POS 5 great buy , good quality product the fit be a lil snug but nothing too uncomfortable , love the blue color . +781 Gloves NEU 3 I use THEM for food service delivery , WITCH be very hard on THEM .

I like they because they have good wrist support and feel good . they be definitely a bit tight at first though , even without wrap . they be very hard to get on when you actually do have wrap too , at least until you break em in . after you break the glove in , they feel wonderful ! these glove be pretty hard though . you can spar with they , but I recommend not go too hard because knuckle will penetrate if you hit hard . I have feel my knuckle on someone 's face before and I have feel knuckle on my face . also , make sure you do not let any rough part of the velcro stick out otherwise you 'll feel some burn while clinching . I also recommend always wrap you knuckle well so you do not skin they and cause the glove to become stinky ... overall , I recommend these glove because they last for a good amount of time for the price and they have good wrist support . I really can not justify spend $ 60 - $ 100 on a pair of the other glove out there . +731 Gloves POS 4 these be very solid and snug fitting glove . I really like they , and they seem well build . one thing to keep in mind be that the leather around the finger be very strong and will take a while to be work in . for the first few time of use , they will pinch you finger , but eventually this will go away . I recommend these if you want to protect you hand from callus . +955 Gloves POS 5 these glove be fantastic . the excellent fit couple with the over all durablity make these gloce perfect for heavy yard work .

I have a `` large '' hand , but the large size be almost too large for my hand . I recommend purchase a size smaller than what one usually use in glove . my only beef be that the velcro closure piece be incorrectly place on the wrist cuff . the velcro should extend farther than it be place on the wrist cuff . the way it be now , very little velcro on the strap engage the velcro on the glove . kone +259 Gloves POS 5 the fast fit glove be comfortable and easy to put on . if u have a fat hand I suggest u buy the next size up . +355 Gloves POS 5 I already have a pair of these glove and after several year -lrb- 5 or more -rrb- of use and they be start to wear out . I order another pair for when the first pair go . just wash the old pair of ironclad glove and it seem that it give they a new life . what be wear be the reinforce \/ stitch finger tip . they be start to have a tendency to catch on thing . they be great for use with a chain saw and other garden tool such as a rototiller . the padded palm make the vibration of the tool tolerable . I would definitely recommend they as a work glove for use outside . +55 Gloves NEG 1 the glove work for the fist few week , say 3 week . soon after that the finger tip start to rip and peel off , keep in mind I be very active handle package with UPS so i would know best . my fingertip be expose and no longer protect , every package i handle keep sliping and hit the ground . not strong or havy duty . it be not even that . not worth the money . +772 Gloves POS 5 there be plenty of padding for hit the heavy bag and the velcro strap be easy to put on and take off without another person there as oppose to lace . nice weight and good wrist support too . +744 Gloves POS 5 I be work for a restaurant .

I have average hand and order size l - yet they be very tight still - difficult to put on and even more pain to take off later -lrb- have to pull off each finger separately -rrb- . it be funny , I have some glove that come with a Makita circular saw and since I have nothing else I use those for lifting - and my hand feel much more comfortable in those glove than in these .

I have small finger and many time glove a too big around my finger . +212 Gloves POS 5 I be a Gym rat , work out 4 + time a week for 2 hour a day .

I love those glove , but I do not want to spend another $ 40 for glove I may lose or have steal , so I find these on Amazon for under $ 15 -lrb- Harbinger Model 143 , Natural -rrb- . I be very pleased with these glove . the color natural be better look in person than in the pic . while these do not have wrist strap , they be as nice as the 1250 Model . very well make , Great Job Amazon !!!! comfortable and durable . I have be buy weight lifting glove for over 20 year , and these can hang with the best . I take a large and these be true to size . also no bleeding from Dye inside the glove that stain you hand after you sweat the first few time you use they . also these glove keep you hand cool while you lift , make you glove less likely to smell of sweat after you take they off . I apply some talcum powder to my hand before I put the glove on . and the glove look and smell very clean . I be very impressed with the stitching , it be very obvious that these be not cheap glove . I would expect to pay at least $ 30 for these glove , not $ 13.49 !!! so I truly feel that I get a bargain . I may just buy another pair at this price as a backup pair . so if you be on the fence about buying , and need a quality , affordable pair of workout glove , I can not see you go wrong with these . these glove can be find online or at some Sporting Goods Stores , though you will not find as cheap as Amazon be sell they for . I do not know if this be Amazon 's normal price ?? , or if the $ 13.49 be just blind luck on my behalf ?? I hope this review help . +567 Gloves POS 5 these be great glove ! I have no complaint about they , but I do think I should take a moment and address a common complaint that almost keep I from buy they . several people have comment that the glove run small . these complaint be frankly idiotic . these people have obviously never own anything make of leather . news flash -- it stretch ! yes , the glove be small and do pinch at first , but after about a week 's worth of wear at the gym they fit perfectly . there be no reason to order one size too big , because if you do you run the risk of they be too loose , which would cause they to rub and cause blister , which be the whole point of buy they in the first place ! buy these glove in the right size , and if you have more patience than a preschooler you 'll love they ! +679 Gloves POS 5 I be not a great swimmer but I be not bad either . I be do my daily lap and wish I could have just a little something to put more challenge into my lap . these glove be just the thing . I actually could not do my usual 25 lap . I be lucky to get 15 the first day . they really do increase the upper body strength for every muscle group . they even give you hand a work out since you have to pull so much more water with each stroke . I would tell anyone that want great look tone arm and sholder to get a pair of these and go swimming . +856 Gloves POS 4 Pretty neat thing these be . I think they be more for exercise then they be for actually swim faster . be careful with the size because I think mine be just a bit too large , even though I have very moderately size hand . still , they fit and work wonderfully . +797 Gloves POS 4 I have largeish female hand . the webbing be fine to bwide and the finger hole be tight when wet , of course . all man should get large and woman small or med , as i do . about be small-dont htink so-they be just tght when wet-thaat how the material be . I like they - the feel of they swim through the water - you arm do more . they could have be a bit shorer on the finger , perhaps . no , definately not small run , as other feel . +738 Gloves POS 5 I buy several pair of these for work and play . I find they to be very comfortable and durable . they be reinforce at key place -lrb- e.g. fingertip , web where thumb and pointer meet , etc. -rrb- . I be happy to wear they work in the yard or out on the trail . my suggestion would be to get they a size larger than you usually need . I have relatively small hand , but the large glove fit I perfectly . write by Arthur Bradley , author of `` process of Elimination '' - a intense thriller that pit a martial art expert against a world-class sniper . +884 Gloves NEG 2 I do waterfit six day a week and need a pair of glove that will with stand the chlorine in the pool . I have always use the brand water Gear and think I would try Speedo but after several week use they I will go back to Water Gear for my next purchase . Speedo will hold up in the chlorine as well but for my hand which be very small the water Gear feel more comfortable . these be a great price and well construct but this be just my personal preference . +710 Gloves POS 5 I never think I would like these type of glove compare to big ` ole leather palm work glove . I have have a change of heart . these glove be bullet proof and when they get wet with summer sweat . they cool you hand and continue to be great grip and they clean up easy . I will always purchase these glove in the future compare to the one I throw out each season . +473 Gloves POS 4 so far so good . they come in small size which be good for my smaller hand . I have a question . what be the 2 little tab that be attach near the inner wrist ??? +314 Gloves NEU 3 these be not nearly as comfortable as the Valeo pair they replace . I be not talk about padding , it be just generally a less comfortable glove to wear . the shape of the glove force you hand into a semus close position . it take more effort than usual to straighten you finger or make a fist . the construction be pretty rough which again do not help the comfort thing . on the bright side , so far they be last well . +699 Gloves POS 5 keep I warm and help to create resistance in the water whwn do arm workout . try they you 'll see a difference . +898 Gloves NEU 3 I be not a especially weird-handed person . but these glove just do not quite fit right . I go with medium , and be sure large would be too big -lrb- come on I weigh -lrb- 150 lb . I be clearly not a large size anything . -rrb- my problem be threefold : 1 -rrb- the finger be cut too deeply . what I mean be , when I have the glove on the bottom of the `` v '' in between two finger cut painfully into the skin webbing between my finger . again I have completely normal hand - not aquaman here . my finger fit in the hole perfectly , so clearly the proportion be just wrong . never have this problem with a glove before . 2 -rrb- the velcro strap ride up too high on you wrist . it be generous say it be even on my wrist , it be really half on my palm . 3 -rrb- the above two might make you think maybe I be indeed a large . but the thumb-hole already have a lot of wiggle room - no way I would need more . additionally , as I say , the finger hole be perfect and the pad align well with the bottom of my finger to prevent callouse . this be clearly just a case of a poorly design product . if you can get they under $ 15 and only lift 2-3 day per week it might be worth it . otherwise it be worth a extra few buck to look elsewhere . side note : the yellow version of these glove be what Artie on Glee use . weird . +211 Gloves POS 4 pro : well make . Easy to put on and take off . good resistance in the water . comfortable . con : color do not hold up to the chlorine in the pool . the color will fade in a short time . +435 Gloves NEU 3 I buy a pair of these for work here on the ranch . the first day i split the first layer of leather , but I be rotate the chain on my chainsaw to get a jam out . Probily not design for that . they have some thread that have unravel and a few more cut but I have really run they through the mill . sretch barb wire and drive t post . cut boi d arc post and such be hard on any glove . after a year they be still alive but not real pretty . most of the time I dont wear glove because skin grow back and glove dont but I be start to get tire of bleeding . I would say they be worth buy if you catch a deal on the . +943 Gloves POS 4 I use one pair of these for 5 month of trail building , include timber and rock work . plenty of mud as well . I really like the Kevlar reinforcement , but the seam on the roll-top finger fail after 4 month . Duct tape solve most of the problem . +604 Gloves POS 5 I work in the crane\/construction industry . I spend every day handle heavy cable , shackle , sling , metal , lumber . . you name it . I do all of that in every weather condition imaginable . in the past five year I have grow to become a glove fanatic . I love the way comfortable glove feel and I be always try out new pair of glove as the one I have get destroy . about two year ago I buy a pair of these Ranchworx glove as a bit of a splurge . I be gamble on the ironclad line base on the decent performance of some of they synthetic glove , even though those glove can have stitch issue . sometimes I 'll have a pair of the synthetic kind last 5 or 6 month , sometimes 5 or 6 week . I be use to buy a new pair of glove every two or three month on average because of that , and I accept it as the norm for the abuse I put they through . but these Ranchworx glove have make it through every bit of the worst condition I come across , and they have do it in spade . I still buy new pair of glove , just because I be a maniac and love to try new glove , but I keep come back to these thing . they be amazing . I have get diesel on they , pick up sharp metal , and handle rusty chain on a daily basis . all I have to do be wash they off , wring 'em out and throw they back in my car . awesome . they have be wet and dry so many time now I can not even begin to count . I have finally use they up and make it all the way through the leather , but man , do it take a crap load of effort . if ironclad glove fit you well , these glove will impress you . +858 Gloves POS 5 these be purchase for a friend that work at a grocery store deli . they be use for cold and room temp box that have be on pallet or in the freezer . be use 6 day a week from 6-8 + hour they have last a while . they even save my friend from a nasty cut thumb ! the grip do help , but like anything that be be use a lot , it wear . overall a good buy . +185 Gloves POS 4 I recently start casually lift at the gym . after get into heavier weight , I find that my limit be more base on what pain my hand could take from hold the metal weight and bar , instead of what my muscle could lift . so I buy these glove and could not be happier . now I can focus on lift the weight rather than worry about my hand get tear up . I be new to weight lifting , but even for light to moderate weight these glove make a big difference . I be sure other glove would do the trick too , but these have a great price and look . they run small , so order a size up if you be uncertain . +815 Gloves NEU 3 in about two month they be a mess . . smelly -lrb- not my hand , leather smell -rrb- fall apart etc. . I guess its time to get a new one but i d much rather buy a pair that last . no need to buy a new pair every two month . +195 Gloves NEU 3 compare to the harbinger 155 's , these have more padding and seem to be better construct . but the downside be , you 'll have a helluva time remove they . I wear medium 's , and the 155 's be easy to remove , but these be incredibly difficult to pry off you hand . +914 Gloves POS 5 my glove -lrb- ironclad ic-0300grbyu-s -rrb- that I have have and use regularly since 2000 , have grow leg and walk off !!! I can not believe it . after almost 5 year of use , they leave I !!! so I be buy another pair just like they . I have use the glove a lot and they stand up to to anything . highly recommend . +608 Gloves POS 4 I be a gym rat and go through glove every couple of month . come from a crappier harbinger glove as my last pair , these be a much nicer improvement . they feel solid and well padded , yet flexible enough to not be annoying . I be give they 4 star out of 5 for two reason : 1 . they be a bit tight in the finger , despite be a good fit for the rest of my hand . they should not be make glove for pansy finger . 2 . the inside of the glove have a tag right at the bottom of the wrist , as well as a somewhat sharp edge around the wrist . both issue can be eliminate or hammer out , but it be a bit annoying . overall not bad , definitely worth a try . +975 Gloves POS 5 i recently get into boxing and be get really tired of borrow the boxing glove from the gym -lrb- that they prolly never wash , practically dip my hand in acid when i get home . xd -rrb- . but so far these have be very comfortable and sturdy . i enjoy use they . definitely recommend ! +143 Gloves POS 5 these glove be very good . in the begin the material be little hard . but after one or two week it be perfect . if you just work in a office and you hand be too soft for the bar at the gym these glove be great for you . at least , I be very satisfied with my purchase . +487 Gloves POS 5 well consider the fact that I want a pair of glove for welding . these glove be great . I actually be quite surprised how well they fit . they be very comfortable and I may just use they for other thing that I need glove for around the shop ... I even like they so much that I return and buy 2 more pair . +685 Gloves POS 4 my guy love these glove , they be warm , tough and let he get the job do . they do not last as long as they use to . +165 Gloves NEG 2 these be my first boxing glove and needless to say the last glove I ever buy for less than $ 50 . I know how to wrap my hand , and I know how to punch but I injure my knuckle twice in these glove . the first time I land a left hook to the temple of my spar partner . I be out for a month . I baby that hand for 3 month then the first day i go heavy on the bag with they I re-sprain the same knuckle again . first off a boxing glove will last you about 6 month if you be a 5 + session a week fighter . it 'll be more if you be a two a week fighter and pretty much a lifetime if you do that cardio boxing stuff . reason be the more you hit the bag or you partner the more the foam break down and sweating into the foam do not help either . about this glove : size : a little too small for my hand . I be a very big guy with very big hand so unless you hand hare as big as a NBA center like mine there be no need to worry about it . lining : First thing that wear out on mine . it fall apart inside and start to irritate my finger . not a light irritation either . it make my knuckle bleed the last day i wear they . Leather & Stitching : it be good . not a single stitch pop . foam : break down after a few month . also start get lumpy towards 4 month . Beathability : they breath about as well as a plastic bag . I supprise my finger do not prune up after my training session . it make the glove hard to dry out and then they smell horrible . they also make you hand smell horrible . ceadar chip help a little bit but after training session they make my hand smell like a dirty sock . hand protection : I think they leave it out of this model . I bruise my knuckle twice . not so with other glove . velcro : so easy to put on and take off . by far the easiest out of any glove I have own . bottom line : the look nice and do the job but do not risk hurt you hand to save money . if you be do cardio boxing at LA boxing and dont really hit the bag all that hard then they might work for you . you hand will still stink buy you wont get hurt . if you be serious about the sport and think you will do it for at least 6 month do you hand a favor and buy a pair of Title gel , Ringside IMF Tech , or Grants . +291 Gloves POS 5 we use these glove everyday when shrink back window for tint . they indure get heat up everyday and last at least a good year . I would highly recommend they . +107 Gloves POS 5 this be a replacement pair for the original speedo swim glove that have a zipper on the side . the other pair I use for over five year in a morning water work-out class three day a week . the glove really help to build the back and arm muscle . these new one have a velcro closure instead of a zipper fit but stay on firmly throughout the class .

I have previously only use unpadded glove , and the padding in the palm seem a little thick at first . the padding do make it more difficult to get a solid grip in some exercise machine that also have large rubber grip on they -lrb- lat pulldown bar , for example -rrb- , but that be the trade off for excellent support and protection when use the glove on machine with uncovered metal grip . I find these glove to be more durable than the other non-padded harbinger glove I have worn . the glove can be safely wash and air drye , as advertise . my only complaint with regard to wear be that the unreinforced leather where my thumb meet the padding in the palm seem to wear out before the rest of the glove . every pair I have own will eventually wear a hole in this particular area . +302 Gloves POS 5 I wear these glove when shooting handgun at the pistol range . they be heavy enough to be durable , yet light enough that I can feel the trigger and the pistol grip fairly well . the price make they a exceptional value . +118 Gloves NEG 1 my purchase of Speedo Aqua Fit train Swim Gloves be a dud . the glove begin fray at the fingertip end almost immediately . before two week have elapse , one glove be splitting at the thumb-to-index finger line of stitching . unusual wear be show on a pair my friend just purchase that he have use for two week . both pair must be return to Amazon .

I would not keep buy they if I do not like they . they be make of a thick neoprene , make the glove a bit stiff , but also provide good resistance in the water . the size on these glove be generous , so if in doubt , order the smaller size . the velcro closure stay secure along the wrist , and the glove be easy to put on and remove . they dry fairly quickly . I use they almost every day and have no problem with soggy glove in my gym bag . if these glove be a bit more flexible - allow I to comfortably grasp water weight while wear they - they would be perfect . as it be , I can hold the weight , but it be a little uncomfortable . +742 Gloves POS 5 I love my paddle glove . my hand be small which make it difficult to paddle out as fast as other surfer .

I feel that the glove cut too deep at these point and that there be too much material in between the finger . I need a good pair of glove that could be use for rowing and weightlifting . while I find that these glove work for my short period of weight lifting , they be less than ideal for long period of time on the rowing machine . the pain be simply too much and my hand grip adjust in a way that be more uncomfortable on my wrist . it be too bad because for the price and the velcro strap on the wrist , it have the potential to be better . +971 Gloves POS 5 thank you very much ! I be extremely happy with the fast service of this item . I sincerely and wholeheartedly appreciate it . +495 Gloves POS 4 I have use this glove on almost a daily basis for the last 2 month and they be among the best I have own . the seam on the first and second finger of this glove have not fail like most of my other glove and the double layer of leather on the finger tip ensure it will not wear through . my hand be medium size , but I have small finger . I be hesitant to order glove online because I insist on glove with finger that fit ; I hate have space at a glove finger tip . I cross my finger and order a small size ; the finger fit well but the palm be a little small . although the glove feel a little small at first , the palm material stretch very well and the pair soon feel just fine . however , the a seam around the stretchy material in the palm be begin to fail . these glove be inexpensive , fit well , and hold up . I be go to buy another pair . +463 Gloves POS 5 def what i expect and it be not that expensive .

I quite like my first pair and be surprise to find some less than good review here , include comment from people about how they glove fall apart rather quickly . well , I order another pair of these only about a year ago and they be already in much worse shape than the previous pair that last twice as long , despite get the same amount of use from I . I also notice that some other reviewer mention how these glove be tighter than they should be , and that do not describe my first pair but definitely describe my second . just a few day ago , I order another replacement pair . I obviously can not say whether they will hold up better than the second pair I have , but I can report that even though the glove be ostensibly the same size the new pair be , in fact , not nearly as tight on my have as my second pair . I be a bit frustrated by the lack of consistency in what be suppose to be the same product , but I do like these glove overall . -lrb- I guess that be obvious or I would not have order another pair again ! -rrb- +93 Gloves POS 5 these be awesome glove . they take a good day 's work to break they in but after that it be just like have a second skin . dexterity be great and will still protect you from bust knuckle , scrape and cut . ship be fast as well +357 Gloves POS 4 UPDATE : I just want to update this . I send the glove back to Ironclad and today receive a replacement pair . I be glad because I really like these glove . I be hopeful these will hold up better and that I just get some that be defective in some way . I purchase a pair of these because I see a television show about they and because they be washable leather so I would be able to wash the sweat out of they . I be not a hard user of they . I also choose this pair because they be call `` Ranchworx '' so I assume they be tough enough to work on the ranch , i.e do some fencing -lrb- no barb wire -rrb- , move hay bale , move fence panel , etc. . well they do not last 6 month ! my right index finger -lrb- dominant hand -rrb- be wear through and only get larger and larger . also split at the seem below my thumb . then when I call they to return they for a warranty replacement they say I have to send they in and they would `` review '' they . could be week before anything happen . how disappointing ! if you need a good , tough , durable pair of glove ... I would avoid these . +50 Gloves POS 5 this be my first pair of work-out glove I ever buy . I do not mind have callus on my palm all that much . but eventually I start lift weight with 90 + lb per dumbbell . the problem be that the dumbbell bar have a ridge like surface that begin to literally cut at my skin on my finger . hence , I spend more energy fight off the pain then lift weight and the productivity decrease , obviously . I get these glove size large since that be what my other glove be . however , I immediately notice that while my palm be very well protect and pad , the skin over the middle and most distal finger joint space be uncovered and the bar continue to rip my skin . I highly recommend go a size larger that normal , consider they 'll shrink with wash anyway . overall , these be definitely worth the cost ! +929 Gloves POS 4 these be well make glove ... -lrb- I have not have they long -rrb- but the padding that I get they for be in all the wrong place . I get these specifically for bench press heavy weight , but the padding be all in the finger and upper part of the hand . there should be more in the lower palm where all the weight sit . that be say , they be nice and snug and feel durable . I have not have similar problem as other with not be able to close my hand for different exercise . I like these glove overall . +547 Gloves POS 5 these training glove work very well . they be easy to get on with the one velcro strap . they be weighted well and provide good support for those active training session .

I work several time on my car 's engine , air conditioner , change the handle on the four door , and change multiple flat tire , all while wear they . I have have they for almost six month now and they still look like new after a five-minute manual wash ! in a nutshell , these work glove be well design , well make , provide excellent protection for what they be , and offer a great value for money . I highly recommend they for light to medium manual labor task around the house and the car . +1 Gloves NEG 1 I buy these glove and they have hole in they in a three day . the stitching come out . they be crap . $ 25 for what ? if you actually work for a living just get a pair of regular leather work glove . these might be fine for weekend warrior but I be a landscaper and these glove just do not cut it . honestly , do not waste you money . +35 Gloves POS 5 I have be play hand percussion , i.e. congas & bongos , for about two year . in all that time I have play with no glove , mainly because other player say playing with glove on be for sissy . well , for I it actually become a necessity to use glove because of medication I have to take .

I order up a size and prefer they . when you wash they they get smaller so really you should order up a size unless you be lift huge amount and want no movement and be ok if you need a minute to get they off . once you find you proper size the glove be fabulous , they really have hold up under daily use . good quality stitching , good quality material , they be great glove . and the price be amazing . you will be happy . +457 Gloves POS 5 just what my son want ! arrive in plenty of time for Christmas . thanks . +963 Gloves POS 5 I have be use lift glove for over 15 year and these be by far the best glove yet .

I buy the 12 oz to use on a punch bag . they work great . this be after return some cheap century glove , which be total crap . for the price , Everlast make by far the best product . these glove be really pretty damn nice consider the price , and I be glad I get they . +981 Gloves POS 5 glove be accurately size in description - they fit properly when I get they ! they be well construct and seem durable . my only problem be get they off they fit so well ! +354 Gloves POS 4 agree with other reviewer . tough and durable , good padding . they could use a little more padding -- I do dip on a machine with unpadded grip , and sometimes feel the pressure on my palm , but these glove do much better than alternative that I have . +899 Gloves POS 5 I be look for something simple , without all the extra `` gel '' cushion and wrist support ; that be what hand wrap be for ! of course , you can never go wrong with the color red , so I decide these medium weight glove would do the trick . I have use they for a few week , and they be solid glove . there be enough padding to spare you knuckle of damage and still give good force feedback on a punch . there be not a reason not to get these glove . I use they with the Everlast 180 '' hand wrap , and it be be a great combo to maintain wrist support and get a good boxing workout ! +490 Gloves POS 5 have not use they yet to work on the car . -lrb- I do not want to get they greasy . -rrb- I have enjoy use they for bike ride , and other light work around the garage . they provide good cushioning , protection and grip . they remind I of soccer goalie ' glove except the palm and finger be more durable and not quite as sticky with more `` feeling '' \/ sensitivity . +179 Gloves POS 5 I have have several pair of different glove and for the price these be the best and be easy to throw in the wash machine to clean . +795 Gloves POS 5 I have wear a pair of these glove for three winter now intermittently for construction work and they be just start to go . I have go through many pair of cheaper brand in the interim , and find that these be worth the extra money . I have also use other brand that have Kevlar stitch which work well but cost more do not hold up any better . these be the perfect combination of dexterity and warmth . they be not `` hold you hand under a faucet '' waterproof but they keep out rain and snow . I often wear another pair of insulate leather glove over these if it be really cold and remove they to grab nut and screw , etc. . I have try the rest and I be come back for my second pair of ccg . +961 Gloves POS 5 I use these for tactical a shooting . they be great . true to size . grip and pad where you need it and not where you do not . highly reccomend . +839 Gloves POS 5 I buy the tundra to work outside , do heavy labor out here on the east coast during the snow storm . they be totally worth every penny . these glove keep my hand warm and stand up to hour of abuse . these guy definitely know what they be do .

'' my hand be worth more . +663 Gloves NEG 1 I work out one day with these glove and they rip . they stretch out and do not stay fit to you hand . they be also very hot , you hand can not breathe what so ever . I would suggest buy a different pair . +675 Gloves NEG 2 I just get it today and one of my glove have a loose thread and there be a hole where the fabric and the band that go around you wrist meet . Pretty crappy material . not impressed at all . +167 Gloves POS 4 what be a good feature on these be the liner . you wrap in conjunction with the fabric liner make for a dryer workout . these glove do run small though . I have small hand for a guy & they be a snug fit . +308 Gloves POS 5 great upper body workout ! even better when use with the pull buoy . great help with drill to improve you stroke . +465 Gloves NEG 1 I use these glove for a day , ride a snowmobile . the leather tear in multiple spot , but my hand do stay dry . I do not use these glove to the extent as I would for work at home . all in all I be pretty disappoint . cheaper glove have last I a whole season . +272 Gloves NEG 1 I should have read the other review more carefully before buy ! i be a homeowner\/handyman , and I use these glove for about 9 hour of light demo before the stitching in one of the finger start to fray . before they start disintegrate , I have no problem with the glove . they be comfortable , the grip be good , and I enjoy the good tight fit . I find they give I the dexterity to do thing that I could not do with my regular cheapo work glove . I do find myself have to take they off every once in a while for task that demand a little extra dexterity , and in those case , the wriststrap\/tight closure be kind of a hassle . but if the glove have hold together , they would have be worth the price . however , give the way these have hold up , it be unconscionable that these item be be market as anything other than disposable ! save you money ! +121 Gloves POS 4 I have own these glove for about a month . I have swim with they about 100 lap per week . they be comfortable and extremely functional . guess the size be really the only dilemma in purchase they . it be good to err on the side of larger than you think . +181 Gloves POS 5 I too have a rough go with ironclad , but after talk with they they steer I in the right direction . I trade in the Box Handlers and get myself the Framer glove . they be the best glove I have ever worn and I have be wear they go on 5 month !!! +533 Gloves POS 4 make the upper body part of a water aerobic workout more challenging . these glove provide good resistance but they do wear out , for I it take about a year of three time a week use to wear through the material . +631 Gloves POS 4 I like it they have a solid thickish feel to it . I be guess after you break they in they will feel just right . the size I pick be large . it fit my hand pretty good . I have a size large for my previous glove so I get a little worried about all this talk ` get a size bigger than what you normally get ' . all in all it be a pretty decent glove for the price advertise . I do not understand some of the negative comment about this product . +145 Gloves POS 5 it get here fast . i work on car alot it dosent work when work with oil but beside that its good +280 Gloves POS 5 I have see some reviewer claim that these glove fit too loosely . im 6 ' 5 and wear size 13 shoe . I have never find store buy `` one size fit all '' glove to live up to they name . these fit I perfectly and I be not break pair after pair try to get they on . great glove for big people ! +696 Gloves POS 5 I buy the glove to add to my swim workout experience . they work . they look kinda goofy , bright yellow and webbed and fingerless , but unless you forget to take they off and try and drive home in they , you can probably handle the odd look . they provide for a challenging workout that you feel as you be swim , and on the drive home from the pool . just remember to take they off . +250 Gloves NEG 1 Got these for Christmas on the 25th ... destroy they on the 26th . although the glove absorb the impact of some bag strike , the pleather rip after only a few hit . these be not bag glove , and they will quickly fall apart with even light bag training . +455 Gloves POS 4 I have these for over two year , and sure they be durable while they last the first year . but after that , the material start to bunch up and it do not protect enough of my hand . I eventually buy newer one last year of a different brand these be nice but too small -lrb- they do not protect enough of the finger and hand -rrb- and they be heavy . ' the leather start to smell and the wear down -lrb- stitch -rrb- pretty quickly . grant , these be pretty good price , I think it be good for what I buy it for but I would recommend invest in some nice pair since you 'll use these baby often . Hope this help , Daniel +423 Gloves POS 5 if you swim regularly for a workout , these glove add to you benefit . increase the resistance , make what should be fun even more fun . +442 Gloves POS 5 I have problem grip so it be tough when the water weight come out in my Aqua fitness class . I buy these glove hope they would give I similar resistance . they do ! I can not believe what a great workout they help I achieve . +356 Gloves POS 5 I wear out my first pair of glove . Amazon 's price be very competitive . I buy the medium but maybe could have use the small . they run just a bit bigger than you think , if you like they tight fitting . +194 Gloves NEG 2 barely use they a couple of time briefly and I already notice a couple of the seam become undo . they look and feel nice when new but I do not know how long they 'll hold up if I ever need to use they for a prolonged period of time . next time I 'll purchase another brand . +825 Gloves POS 5 these glove fit well , have a improve palm padding material . the thumb and forefinger have extra material know that with this type of glove this be the point that will get the most wear . Extra material at the finger tip too . well make , I would buy they again . +169 Gloves NEG 2 the stitch at the thumb start pull apart after only 4 use of these glove - about 30 minute of usage each time across the span of 2 week at a boxing fitness class . even though these be inexpensive glove , that do not mean they should be expect to fall apart after only 4 use . either I get a defective pair of glove , or all of the glove be just low quality \/ durability . I think you be better off buy other comparable glove if possible . +451 Gloves POS 5 as some reviewer have mention , the size of these glove may be smaller than you think they will be . but the quality be very good . my hand be smaller than average , hence I have no problem use this . I highly recommend this pair for its grip . +97 Gloves POS 5 I love these glove they fit well and there be not a lot of extra material around the finger . and they be very comfortable . +790 Gloves POS 5 before get this glove , it actually kinda hurt work out , but with these on , I feel like i can workout much longer . it give a very good grip , however , for I , the thumb part be a tiny bit to narrow . I really hope it will lossen up a little after use . great glove ~ +793 Gloves POS 4 I find they fit well , with a good snug fit which can be adjust to as tight as you like it use the velcro strap . they hold the wrist fairly well to avoid wrist injury . the finger and thumb fit well . some individual might want bigger , more padded glove for spar . +114 Gloves POS 5 I love these glove . Easy to put on and take off . the padding be superb and very protective . +907 Gloves POS 5 the glove fit snug and do a fine job provide resistance for a improve swimming workout . I brough the glove with hope of add a little something extra to my swimming . they do a great job add `` push '' through the water . you can also manipulate you finger and hand while wear this product . +614 Gloves POS 5 I and my friend want to get some glove for boxing eachother . would these work or would you want to get some glove with more padding ? +382 Gloves NEU 3 the Everlast 2214 pro style train glove come in 3 different weight size : 12 , 14 , and 16 oz and 4 color : blue , red , black , and pink . Everlast advertise this glove as its `` high Performance Hook-and-Loop Training Glove '' with `` dense two-layer sandwich foam for better shock absorbency . '' this be the Everlast glove that be stock in department\/sporting goods store throughout the Chicagoland area and typically cost $ 29.99 . this review be base on the 14 oz . version of this glove . my guess be that this review apply to the 2214 glove in all of its weight variation -lrb- 12 oz - 16 oz -rrb- . the exterior of the glove be vinyl . the vinyl exterior reduce the cost of the glove but decrease its longevity compare to leather glove . the fit be snug to a bit cramped . the hook-and-loop fastener make it easy to secure and undo . I prefer this type of hook-and-loop closure to the type find on certain training glove offer by title and ringside which have a additional pull down elastic flap to cover the hook and loop fastener . -lrb- the title\/ringside type fastener make it difficult to secure the glove by yourself . it may be a safer option -- likely to prevent facial abrasion -- but a boxer , when spar , be wear headgear anyway so facial abrasion be keep to a minimum render the add pull down elastic irrelevant and the aggravation that go along with secure the glove needless . -rrb- the 2214 glove be suit for a aerobic boxing class where occasional bag\/mitt work be perform . its weight be ideal for non-contact cardio-type workout and it offer adequate hand protection for light bag work session . however , this glove be not a good choice for spar or full time training\/bag work . its foam be weak and do not maintain its integrity over time . as a training glove it do not absorb the impact of a opponent 's punch well and offer average protection despite its `` dense two-layer sandwich foam . '' as a bag glove it offer slightly above average hand protection . better , albeit expensive , alternative training glove include : Everlast 's Professional Hook-and-Loop Training Glove Everlast Professional velcro train glove ; Ringside 's International Training Glove International Training Gloves - Hook & Loop Cuff ; and , Title 's platinum train Glove platinum Hook & Loop Training Gloves . all three glove be available for sale at they respective web site or through Amazon.com . in a pinch these glove may double as bag glove ; they add weight increase the benefit of a workout . a caveat , I be neither a professional nor amateur boxer . I have be train for over a year and a half and train simply to stay in shape . while training , I have try and use several different glove when hit a heavy bag , double-end bag , and punch mitt . I spar occasionally and have use several different glove when spar . my review of this glove be base on my personal experience use it during training and sparring . +579 Gloves POS 5 after a bit of look around , I choose these lifting glove . they be a snug fit , and help out with have a comfortable grip . just enough padding for protection so it do not feel bulky . I have not try wash they yet , but we 'll see how that work out . I be happy with my purchase . +392 Gloves NEG 1 I have buy these glove in the past with the same identical model number and these glove be that I purchase be very different . not bad but more cheaply make . very disappoint in the sneaky switch . +152 Gloves POS 5 these glove be not as warm as the glove I use for play in the snow , but , that they be not make for sit in the snow . these be make for work . I have never find a glove that be as warm that also let you grab screw , etc. . and once you start work , even in North Dakota , this be all you 'll need . these fit great for work . +81 Gloves POS 5 these glove be wonderful ! but the shipping process be somewhat odd . when I view the tracking info , there be as ups-style tracking number but it say that USPS be deliver . this be confusing and misleading , but UPS say that they hand it over to the post office . never hear of a occurrence like that before , but let 's talk about the product . they be brand new and have a wonderful brand new smell to they , the packaging be completely professional and it come with a netted zip up bag that can be easily hang up in a locker or a closet . at the time of order the 16oz . glove be the only one available , so they be kind of big but they fit my hand very well and very comfortably . I be in the light-heavy\/heavyweight class , but these glove will fit any weight class . not include child and really small people . these glove would be good for practice , sparring , hit the heavy bag or even for professional fight . do I mention how well these glove fit ? they be make for almost any hand size unless you be a giant . I love these glove already and they be much better than my old 12oz . Everlast glove because I can put they on by myself and not have to worry about wrap my wrist for a snug fit . you really feel like a champion with these on . I wish I could wear these glove all day . I have a bad wrist from a bike accident that occur earlier this year , but the padded velcro wrist strap be so comfortable it be like the minor ache and odd feeling just go away . the item look just as it do in the photo , and I can say that these glove be money well spend . now all I need be a reliable spar partner , hand wrap , mouth guard and some headgear . wonderfully design quality product , highly recommend and a big thank you to Everlast . this be the gear that a countless number of champion use ! 5\/5 . +874 Gloves NEG 2 these glove fit very well , and be very comfortable . that be the only reason i do not give they 1 star . I have be use they for weight lifting at the gym - not exactly work ! after a few month , the palm stitching be go in many place and one seam split . a `` heavy utility '' glove should last at least a year in the gym for I to spend this much money on it . have to search for a different kind . +545 Gloves POS 5 this have be some great glove for the gym i appreciate the Item , really need it . . the grabbing be great and how it protect the hand palm also its amazing thank you alot . +72 Gloves POS 4 I have one month use these glove and do not have any complain about they , very confortable , clean , look to be resistant , nice price ... in conclusion , very nice boxing glove +672 Gloves NEU 3 I recently begin work a seasonal part-time job with Coca-Cola and buy these to handle the box , bottle & cradle . the glove do not last , by the end of week one they look like hobo glove . I have a pair of Craftsman light-to-mid duty glove that last for over a year of moderate punishment before they tear up and find \* clc glove that be identical -lrb- other than color & strap -rrb- to the afore-mentioned craftsman mitt . on the plus-side , these be comfortable , machine washable , dexterous and carry asthetic . Mechanix Utility might be great for gardening or tactical\/law enforcement use but any kind of light , repetitive friction or strain & they be toast . for $ 11 - $ 12.00 there be other , much more durable glove available that do not sacrifice a-lot of dexterity . \* http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/custom-leathercraft-125m-handyman-gloves\/dp\/b0002ypzky\/ref=pd_cp_hi_1 \*\* update : the glove sell & picture now be a newer version than the one review here . +620 Gloves POS 4 glove be great . they protect you skin from the weight but be light and breathable so you do not sweat a lot . solid purchase ! +836 Gloves POS 5 I have a dfficult time decide between this ironcald Box Handler Glover or the heavy duty glove Ironclad also sell . I finally decide to go for dexterity\/agility over the more heavy duty glove . I think I have make a good choice . they be indeed very comfortable glove and the best fitting glove I have ever own even though you at a disadvantage by not be able to try they on before the purchase . all I do be go to my tool shed and check the size of the work glove I usually wear . with these glove you can pick a dime off the floor . now you would not want to haul firewood all day long with these glove , and that be why I still use my standard `` home improvement store '' heavy duty glove for that kind of work , but than you 'll never grip a hammer better with any other glove than with these , and that be where these glove shine . these Ironclad Box Handler glove be in my opinion best suit for pick up small object off the floor , grip tool like hammer , screwdriver , drill , pick , shovel and thing like that . on the down side I find that $ 25 be a bit high for a pair of light weight glove . I be use to pay between $ 5 and $ 15 for a pair of work glove . would I buy these glove again ? for a great fitting light weight glove that give you hand greater agility for $ 15 you bet -- but for $ 25 ahhh maybe , but than maybe not . +307 Gloves POS 4 Works well ! good for kitchen and bathroom cleaning etc. .

I be no boxer , but these be great for just bag use or sparring . the padding be perfect and protect very well against injury . the anti-microbial lining be great as it prevent the inside of the glove from smell or deteriorate . if you be serious about the sport , you should definitely upgrade to the higher end glove . however , if you be look for some affordable glove that get the job do , then these be the perfect choice . +31 Gloves POS 5 the product arrive in time frame describe and in great condition . the glove be of great quality , especially for the low price . they be great for everyday boxing and practice , not so much for actual hardcore combat . Great buy ! +36 Gloves NEU 3 I get this from my local 24Hr Fitness . they look ok and make to be sell for $ 15 . however , be careful with the size . I find that size l be too small for my hand , but since my gym only have they in large size , I try all of 7 they they have in stock and find that 3 pair label large fit my hand comfortably and 4 pair label large do not fit at all . so , I be glad I do not get it from the internet . my left glove be cut the web between the ring finger and middle finger .

I be finally able to focus on do my exercise with good form and not have to worry about lose my grip . they be snug and just the right size . the only downside I would have to say be that there be a bit of pain when extend my right index finger from my middle finger , but it be not at all noticeable while lift . other then that , they be well make , effective , and a great value for the price amazon have it . Make sure you read the comment about the size , I order mine large out of instinct and I get lucky that they fit I just right . fast shipping as usual . +421 Gloves POS 5 over the year , I have see the general quality of weightlifting glove diminish -- but be very pleased with this purchase . these glove be fine quality -- comfortable , and durable .

I hear that the weight be actually one of the dirtiest item . as a matter of fact , you can get some skin disease from it . when the package arrive , I inspect the glove . the glove be well make and it seem sturdy enough to last for long time . I believe this be a worth while purchase and hopefully it can last a long time . until I have a personal gym at home , this glove seem like it will do the job . +383 Gloves POS 5 I weightlift 2-3 hour a day at the gym . hard intense workout and these glove keep hold up . I have go through many other pair in just week . these have keep they padding and seam have hold up . a great buy for a great price ! +627 Gloves NEU 3 EDITED THIS REVIEW . leave a review for this product a year or more ago , and since then get another set of glove to replace a worn-out pair . the quality on these seem to be drop . during my first workout I notice a grow unfinished seam on one of the thumb area , which I sew that night . if I have not , the entire thumb portion of one glove would have unravel . the next workout , the leather on the other glove separate from one of the main seam on the palm . Sewing this probably will not be productive . these be still likely the best workout glove out there for the need of many but I think I would let the Amazon community know the quality of the material appear to have change . +449 Gloves POS 5 I read review and purchase this - Harbinger pro FlexClosure Wash & Dry Glove -lrb- Black , large -rrb- Undoubtedly this be 75 % leather and fit perfect ... another FYI ... my hand measure 7.5 , but I buy the large -lrb- coz it be kinda cheaper -rrb- and it fit perfectly ... thanks a lot ... +244 Gloves POS 4 I be the first to try these glove out now everyone in we crew use they and now so do the load dock\/mail room . we do not do any really heavey construction so for we they work out well . even the terry cloth on the top side of the thumb come in handy to wipe the sweat from the brow . my first 2 pair fit fine and be great . my 3rd pair have some glue on the inside hold down the thread which rub against my palm and be quite bothersome but it wear and before long I do not even notice it . I have use these for minor construction to work on equipment with small screw . even if you hand get soak wet the glove still fit well where a full leather glove have a tendacy to stretch and want to fall off . I be order 10 more pair right now ! +972 Gloves NEG 1 i use these glove for five day before they no longer even resemble there original state . two day chip log , one day move scrap , and two day digging ; no finger at all -lrb- even the pinky and ring on right hand have finger tip hole -rrb- and worn to thread on the palm . this be not a durable glove of any caliber . look good and fit great , nothing but rubbish beyond that . if perhaps you do some light work that require a little extra dexterity then you might look into this ; but if you hand be you link to you work then skip this one . grant i have yet to find a truly durable glove that fit well and have any level of flexibility . but never have i wear through a new pair in under a week . +785 Gloves POS 5 the item be good but DHL just drop the box next to my door and leave it there for I , for my neighbor or for somebody else . for whom ? who know that clever delivery guy or bloody excellent DHL 's customer-service . I be at home but the delivery guy do not knock at my door , and I just hear the noise of fall box on the floor . dhl - good on you ! excellent job ! perfect reputation ! +962 Gloves POS 5 good , comfortable , inexpensive glove for lifting . I have be use they almost daily for a few month now and they seem to be hold up just great . I would definitely buy they again . +135 Gloves POS 5 this be the second time I have order these glove for my own personal training . in fact , I order two set this time . I use they almost daily so they last approx . six month . I do feel the difference when I have forget they at home as I feel the force of the strength training in these . I definitely recommend these glove to those who want to try they and I would bet you will order a extra pair . enjoy ! +370 Gloves POS 4 the Gloves look good . I be hope these glove have a little more padding , but overall I have see much less padding in most other . overall i would recommend as they also look very nice . +676 Gloves POS 5 Mechanix fast fit , large , black - 2012 Edition I be not really sure if these be new for 2012 , but I just order these from Amazon so the description of the design be current as of early February 2012 . I have a older pair of the black fast fit glove from late 2009 and the design be remarkably different . First off , these new fast fit glove have a different logo\/print on the back of the glove . there be a different font for MECHANIX , and it actually say FASTFIT on the sealant graphic -lrb- feel sticky\/tacky -rrb- . in addition , there be a tag advertising tekdry fabric use for the glove that allow for quicker dry and wick of moisture . it be suppose to stimulate the hand 's own ability in systemic health , whatever that mean ? I know it feel comfortable though . the palm material be also remarkably different from the traditional Mechanix glove . instead of the usual 65 % nylon and 35 % polyurethane , it be 60 % nylon and 40 % polyurethane . as a result , the simulated leather seem to be smoother , more durable , less susceptible to pill like the older material . I have not test the true endurance of this material , but I know the 65\/35 stuff tend to wear out quickly with use . this 60\/40 material just seem more durable , and I would expect that with more polyurethane content . the thumb also have a light gray leather patching . the styling really be very different in a good way . the fast fit differ from the original Mechanix glove mainly with the lack of a velcro wrist strap and less simulated leather around the finger tip . the fast fit feel thinner and lighter overall . what this mean to the user be that the original Mechanix glove be probably a better choice if you be expect to get you hand ding up badly . the fast fit be design more for the casual use glove that slip on\/off faster and allow for more dexterity . that say , I do not see a huge difference between the two type of glove to justify the price delta . the fast fit be more convenient and lighter , but the Original be still a good design . I be go to do a comparison between the 65\/35 and 60\/40 material to see which I like in the long run . generally speak , the simulated leather part of the glove will be the first to wear out - so this be probably the most important aspect of the glove . I have a really old pair of Mechanix Original glove from 2007 where I wear hole through the index\/middle finger and thumb . I get my index catch under the tire of my car as I be spin the tire -lrb- with the car up on jackstand -rrb- to check for brake rotor drag . it smoosh my finger and have I not wear the Mechanix glove , I probably would have lose the nail and incur more damage . but I still get a nasty bruise and some scratch . have I wear a Mechanix glove that do not have hole , I probably would not have get hurt at all . overall : 5\/5 star , great fit , easy to wear , new Tekdry fabric seem to work in keep my hand dry , and the new 60 % nylon \/ 40 % polyurethane simulated leather seem to be more durable . +309 Gloves NEG 1 these glove fit well and be reasonably easy to put on and take off . they have not balloon in the water in five week of use as other glove be report to do , although they stretch a little in that time . the material be thin neoprene with no fabric cover on the outer palm side . this palm side have a embossed pattern that constitute most of the thickness of the glove and have break off completely in a spot , presumable due hit a lane divider . there be fabric on both inside surface and the outside of the non-palm surface . the lack of fabric on the outside of the palm be a poor design feature that result in the loss of half of the surface due to a common accident in normal pool swimming . +701 Gloves POS 4 I have work with ironclad product before , and from just look at these glove , I be buy they . the sturdyness of the product that Ironclad have put out in the past will certanly be present , even in these glove . Mitchell b +177 Gloves POS 5 I want to add a little resistance to my lap swimming and water aerobic workout . these glove work really well . I like that my finger be free , and the velcro strap make it easy to adjust . +466 Gloves NEU 3 I work in 30 degree and most of the time my hand remain warm . the only thing be if I stop work my hand will start to get cold . they be not good for wet condition !!! even smi wet condition along with the cold its not a good sight ... but other than that they hold up to the punishment that i give they every day . +267 Gloves POS 4 I have be a mature boxer for about 6 year now and i never own a 16oz glove before . I only have 10 's and 14 's and have a really hard time to find spare partner with those . one of my boxing buddy recommend these for I and i must say they really do a good job protect my hand and my sparring buddy . i would recommend these for anybody , they be cheap and be comfortable . to who ever be concerned about the size of the glove , the 16oz glove be usually a large ! +690 Gloves POS 4 I like these glove a lot ! it be easy to take off and put on plus it really do reduce hand fatigue while work on car . it also give decent protection so I do not leave blood and flesh all over the place when I be work on a car . it be moisture resistant , not moisture proof . so liquid such as oils , coolant , water will start soak into it if you be constantly expose these glove to they . they be still great glove because I hate how sweaty my hand get when wear Nitrile safety glove for very long period of time . now only time will tell how long they last . I will post a update to this review on the first sign that I see these glove start break down . +845 Gloves POS 5 I purchase these boot for my husband since he first pair be fall apart -- THEY be at LEAST 10 year old ! he be in the contracting business and need quality `` rain and mud boot '' and this product do the job !! these boot slip right over he shoe and be a easy on and off . +289 Gloves POS 5 fit great ! I need a nice comfortable pair of work glove , and these be just what I need . they stretch in all the right place , make for a great fit with either relax hand or a clinch fist . padding be exactly where I need they , to protect my hand , and the palm & finger grip make for easy lifting . the closure be a nice alternative to old school hook-and-loop -lrb- a.k.a. velcro -rrb- - it be strong , but not too loud when rip apart . this be my new favorite set of work glove , and go with I everywhere . they be even good for cool weather , and stay nice and dry in most environment . the price be remarkable , consider what nice work glove these be . +430 Gloves POS 5 good high quality product and very fast delivery . have be use they fo 4 week now and they can certainly stand up to some hard work . +389 Gloves POS 5 at first , I be very skeptical of these glove . I have recently buy $ 15 reebok glove that be completely useless . you could imagine my skepticism when I see these glove be a few dollar less . I decide to take a chance , listen to the review , and order a size medium . pro : excellent padding very good overall padding , especially for back workout . comfortable to wear and react to sweat well inside of the glove it do not get itchy or leave mark all over my hand unlike other brand . con : tight the size be a little tight . I have somewhat feminine hand so I buy these men glove in medium instead of a large . the fit be very snug and take they off cause quite a scene . but the tight fit do not hurt my workout whatsoever . over all , good buy ! +362 Gloves POS 4 I be serious about acqua aerobic and the upper body workout I can get by use these high-resistance water glove . the unique velcro closure be a great improvement over other type which be a struggle to get on and off . Wish they have a `` medium '' choice of size . they only make a s and a L. these glove be a great find and the price be right . +616 Gloves POS 5 I have be use these glove for several year now . they fit very nice and snug and last forever . tip - flip they inside out after each workout to let the inside of the glove dry out . if not , after some time , it start to smell . that go for all glove ... not only this one . +141 Gloves POS 4 if you be look for glove to ease `` friction and discomfort '' when grasp any bar with weight attach , then you 'll love these glove ; they be pad where pragmatically `` gripping friction '' and discomfort occur , unlike a couple other glove I have encounter that do nothing to alleviate such , they also look great . one `` iffy '' issue concern these Harbinger grip glove , be `` size . '' you may want to buy one size up from you actual regular glove size . for instance ; I possess hand that be more or less `` small '' if not regular `` man '' size hand , yet despite that fact , I find the `` medium '' size I buy a bit tight the first time I put they on . eventually they have stretch to comfort level , but still somewhat difficult to slip on and off . frankly I have never measure my hand by place they directly beside other man hand , that would be weird and daunting task to say the least ; but judge from pure visual perception over the year , I would classify my hand as somewhat on the `` small '' or medium in man size glove , as a matter of fact I have always wear medium size glove , to my recollection . +879 Gloves POS 5 I decide to give these a try as the first time I see they I think , `` what a fantastic idea ! '' I order a medium and they feel more snug out of the water than in it . I swim 3 or 4 time a week for 2.5 to 3.5 hour , and these make a huge difference in not only push you through the water faster , but also they work you arm , chest , and back much more . I have get a pair of the Frisky Aqua Shoes as well , and I love both of these item . +429 Gloves NEU 3 I work for up load truck . this glove be nice and comfortable . however they be not good for load box . the glove start to wear off by the tenth day . +44 Gloves NEG 2 when compare to Valeo Ocelot Lifting glove I buy both pair and I think the Valeo be far superior . the 3\/4 finger length be wonderful , they be softer leather , and have more cushioning than these harbinger . unfortunatly the Valeos have the same size issue as these , so read the review to find you correct size , do not count on the size chart . -lrb- for Valeo , large be a perfect fit for my 8 '' circumference hand , take around the palm , under the knuckle -rrb- . +368 Gloves POS 5 these glove be nice-just what I expect . I buy these for my 15-yr-old for Christmas to go with a punch bag use for exercise and a healthy way to release energy\/anger . he be not into boxing so I do not want glove that be `` over the top '' or too expensive . I just want some to protect he hand while use the bag . these do the trick without any other hand wrap . my son play football , soccer , and baseball in hs-not a lightweight . these be perfect ! +762 Gloves NEG 1 I also work for a major delivery company in the distribution center . grant , we handle a huge number of box -lrb- over 1,000 per hour -rrb- , but these glove wear out in less than a week . the first two day the glove perform wonderfully and make my job easier , but on the third day the rubber coating begin to wear off . by the end of day four , the smooth leather be show through . by the end of day five , the fingertip be all bare of the rubber coating and the terry cloth sweat wipe be start to fail . if you be only handle a small number of package , then maybe these will work for you . otherwise , you might want to wait until ironclad issue they new version , which be suppose to be a box handler glove for those that actually handle box for a living . for now , I do not think the money be at all well spend consider I only get one week of use . +978 Gloves POS 5 very happy with my choice of glove . so far ... because , only time and usage will tell about they longevity ! one thing though : I order size large , and get a size large , so tight that the glove be very difficult to take off , even worse after the workout ! and I do not have big hand at all . I buy another pair , from another brand , at the same time , same size large , and they fit I perfectly . +974 Gloves POS 5 buy for a `` guy '' gift at Christmas party . the person who get it use they and really like the fit and quality of the glove . definitely recommend as a work glove outside . +254 Gloves POS 4 its a good product cant use it for every exercise but you do not need it for every exercise but i recommend that you buy it its a good product +76 Gloves NEG 2 this show glove with a velcro wrist . what I recieve be two pair with zipper . the zipper be very low quality and more suit for doll clothes than athletic equipment . the zipper pull break after a few month of use and I have to sew the sipper shut . I would not recommend these cheaply make glove . +334 Gloves POS 4 after read numerous review I purchase a XL pair from a local Box store and they be pretty snug . I realize Amazon have the xxl size and they fit perfect on my large hand . these glove all run on the smaller side include the woman 's as my wife have a pair of the pink one . we both use these around the yard and garden and I use they for baton wood and general fire prep . I would ` nt call these heavy duty but for general task I highly recommend . +500 Gloves POS 4 this glove be great for we many month of winter here in the North . I be purchase my second pair just in case I lose the first pair . I do not want to be with out a pair these glove !! +532 Gloves POS 5 the only thing I would like to change would be the color of the item . but as far as performance , they be top notch and very dureable . +34 Gloves POS 5 I be take a water Fitness Class , and do Deep-Water walk . I love these glove , they create a great resistance in the water for a really good workout . I be not sure what size to buy -lrb- I be a woman -rrb- and I buy a medium . I even go to the Speedo site to look at the size chart first . either I measure my hand incorrectly , or they run a little big . I think they be Unisex , so I probably should have order a small . it be not a huge deal , but since they cost less on Amazon than they do at most Sporting Good Stores , you may even want to try they on at the store for the correct size . +163 Gloves POS 4 good quality and fit . I be a 5 ' 10 '' woman and these fit my hand very well . the mesh material over the plam be very breathable and keep my hand from feel too sweaty . +829 Gloves POS 5 these glove be just what my husband be look for . he think they be great for he workout and very comfortable . +668 Gloves POS 5 the glove work great ! as some people mention , the glove be a little tight between the finger but it be not a problem for I . if you be unsure of what size to get as i be just go for the larger size and you should be fine . +283 Gloves POS 4 these glove be comfiortable and quick dry , great for daily workout . note the thumb be attach to teh finger so pick up a water bottle to drink from during a workout be difficult . +842 Gloves POS 4 thus far , they be awesome . Came in the mail today and they fit great , which be no small feat . local place never seem to have well fitting glove so I have always buy online , always buy the largest size available . this be the first pair I have purchase that actually fit my hand . I buy they as utility\/climbing glove for my hike trip as well as general yard work . so far they seem pretty tough , and I love the texture between the thumb and forefinger it provide outstanding grip . they be also surprisingly comfortable , especially for work glove . I 'll be sure to leave a update after they have be field test but so far I can not find anything wrong with they ! +502 Gloves NEU 3 I purchase two set of glove . I have use one set for less than 2 month and the rubber on the palm side of the glove have already develop large split . I use they for less than 25 minute per session .

I have get 65-70 fp at just a slight overclock in bf3 , where the xfx card can only hit a solid 60 . this card will get hot if I put it in the first PCI slot with the xfx below it , which be not surprising . all in all , I be quite worried about all the review claim it ship bust , but be quite happy when it work like a charm ! I get it replace my xfx card until I can get my hand on a beefier power supply but when I do crossfire it with the xfx card I be get a huge improvement over just a single card .

I know that the difference between AMD\/ATI 's new offering -lrb- particularly the 7970 -rrb- be minor when it come to benchmark - but something that Nvidia have always have a advantage over the Radeon line of card be in the stability and the frequency of they driver and update . this be a rock solid card from a rock solid company and I be happy that Amazon.com be able to get I the card so quickly when everybody else seem to out of stock . +443 GraphicsCard NEU 3 after see the tempting rebate-based price of $ 245 , I order a pair of these card .

I finally find where I could order a printout of recent order but after the report be complete , I receive a email that I could access it by go back to my Account on the Amazon site . old invoice use to pop right up but now view they involve open email , download a comma-delimited file , save it , and open it with a appropriate program -lrb- I do not have Excel -rrb- . and then you still have to print out the invoice copy , chisel the barcode off the box , stuff everything into a envelope and mail it off while hope you have not overlook some tiny detail that will be a pretext for refuse the rebate . I finally conclude that the $ 20 rebate process -lrb- already down from the expect $ 40 -rrb- be not even go to return minimum wage for my time and I move on to more important thing . I advise not be take in by promise rebate . they be too time-consuming to claim and too often in the past I have have they later reject on some tiny technicality . rebate go out of vogue for a while because they be cause too much ill-will for manufacturer but now they be creep back in we depressed economy . I have be burn in the past by they so shame on I for allow it to happen again . +711 GraphicsCard POS 5 add this card to a Dell Precision 490 workstation at the office to provide a third monitor . it work great , all the better since the nVidia Desktop Manager provide setting for both card -lrb- the 6200 along with the original Quadro FX -rrb- . also , like many of the reviewer here , I add one of these to a older Dell -lrb- a old Dimension 3000 that only have pcus slot -rrb- to get a little more mileage out of it with a widescreen -lrb- 1920x1080 -rrb- monitor ... the internal video have to be disabled in bio and it seem to need a nudge & a kick with couple of restart to make it work , but it work . as for the handful of negative comment you might see here , they appear to be the result of expectation that exceed what low-cost hardware can do , so bear in mind that this be a very basic graphic card . +446 GraphicsCard NEG 1 as title say , let I explain . my motherboard be a Asus A8V-X , with 4gig of RAM , AGP8X , AMD Athlon 64 3500 + CPU . at first it be work flawlessly use a ATI Radeon 9200SE graphic card with 128mb of video RAM . I could play game like Halo Combat Evolved , Doom 3 , Far Cry , half life 2 etc , not with the best resolution , but even though those game where absolutely playable and enjoyable . after some year I decide it be time to upgrade the videcard , so I look for some 512mb agp8x card and find this evga . uninstall the ATI and install this new EVGA , it go flawlessly , until ... yes , you be guess right : I could not play ANYTHING . update latest driver , even go on some tweaking with NVIDIA 's support service help , but nothing . ca not play game like Halo Combat Evolved , Project IGI , Doom 3 , Far Cry , half life 2 , etc etc etc. . . everytime i just get weird error message like `` Gathering Exception '' and so on . compatibility issue , NVIDIA 's support Team say . Great . so I have to uninstall this piece of trash and throw it away , go back to my old reliable ATI Radeon 9200SE and guess what : I be back in business ! , now I can play those game again . flawlessly . so in my own personal experience : NVIDIA be NOT RELIABLE , it do not work , it be garbage . ATI do the job , it just work ! so my advice : DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT , it be unstable , unreliable , have no technical solution , latest driver do not do anything to solve compatibility issue . and for Amazon 's service : flawless , as usual . thanks guy ! +840 GraphicsCard POS 5 can barely contain my excitement while i make this video , I hope you guy enjoy it 1050 stock coreclock 1250 mem clock 1280 Stream Processors 2gb video ram +511 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I order one of these base on the picture and text . both say it have a S-Video port . the card I get have neither ! the part number on this item and the part number on the box be the same . also the text indicate that a extra low profile bracket be need . not true . +105 GraphicsCard POS 4 my previous video card be a GeForce 8800 gt Alpha Dog Edition . xfx make good on the warranty previously so this be my second 8800 card . when it quit I need a quick replacement and be hopefull the gt 520 would live up to the expectation . I be wrong but could not financially afford a higher quality card at the time . I be still use the gt 520 but will replace it once I can afford . this be no fault of the retailer and I would recommend purchase from they , most definitely !!!! +662 GraphicsCard NEU 3 there be a lot to cover about EVGA 's FTW gtx 670 , so I will try to be succinct and address the major point . one thing to get out of the way first - these card must be keep at a operating temperature lower than 69 degree Celsius -lrb- C -rrb- . once that threshold be surpass these card automatically downclock , thereby hobble the capability of you $ 400 part . so if you read comment talk about hit temp in the 70s under load please be aware of the disadvantaged performance these `` reviewer '' be oblivious of . now , back to the evga ftw ; forget everything you have read on forum about this card be cool and quiet . although some people may have receive golden specimen the average card be likely to run hot -lrb- and therefore loud -rrb- due to design . Technically speak the reference cooler will keep the card below 70C , if just barely , but it do so at the cost of human decency - once the fan speed hit 70 % this thing sound like a turbine . loud . after go through three of these card -lrb- each with its own `` unique '' quirk , my favorite by far the one that run solitaire at 53c -rrb- I feel confident prognosticate you will likely hit the 70 % mark as well since waste heat be trap by the shroud , thus the card get baked good and proper while the lone fan struggle to expel it out the back . people who opine this setup be advantageous be dead wrong . or deaf , perhaps . let I save you some trouble : the ftw I receive could not run at a tolerable volume while adequately cool the card . period . I have invest more unpaid man hour dink around with fan curve in precision x than I care to count , so hopefully you will not have to endure the same . grant , if you be use to a noisy 4000-6000 series radeon or 400-500 series gtx then yes , this card might sound comparatively `` good . '' to you . to everyone else it sound like Barbie and she pal be throw a hairdryer slumber party in you computer case Malibu dream house . Let 's talk about overclocking . some interweb denizen have be vocal about hit 1300MHz core . well , I do test the ftw card and find none of they come even close to that speed . and the small bump they be able to hit ? meaningless , as the card automatically throttle at 70c . I do realize individual mileage vary and some people be get great card but I do not think this be by any mean the norm base on the three example I have . I would characterize the OC potential of these card as `` abysmal '' due to the horrific thermal profile and also the fact most of the oc headroom have already be squeeze out -lrb- first by Nvidia , then evga -rrb- . again , I could not keep these thing cool and quiet at STOCK so my oc forecast be decidedly grim . unless you love noise . lot and lot of noise . it may sound like I loathe the evga 670 ftw . I do not . the same do not hold true for the trove of hype and misinformation about this particular model card , however , which be why I have take the time to write . still , I will end on a positive note because this card do have a purpose in life -lrb- just not my life -rrb- . so who should buy this card ? - folk that do not oc or ever plan to , who be look for a good stock card - this one 's factory oc would at reference price , a no-brainer . - folk that do not care about noise , who game at crazy stupid volume or with headphone . - parent -lrb- evga be a U.S. company with good customer support , so if you buy this for you spoil progeny you 'll be well cover for 3 year -rrb- . - amd fanboi . I would like to take a moment to comment on how astronomically incredible Amazon have be throughout this entire ordeal . from the glittery pixeljunque card to the 50c + solitaire card to the freak ramjet-on-my-desk card they have be totally commit to resolve thing positively , and have deal with these rma courteously , pleasantly and swiftly . bravo - chalk up another lifelong customer and advocate . my fellow consumer , you would be wise to follow suit and shop with the best lest you be leave with , ahem , egg on you face . P.S. Case airflow and static pressure be excellent , ambient temp be 68f , 700W PSU with 50a on the rail , no old driver etc. etc. . will give 600 series one final shot before I defect to the red ... +654 GraphicsCard POS 5 Works great . just attach it and download the driver . now 7.9 window experience on graphic and no lag with game . great job guy . +86 GraphicsCard POS 5 this graphic card be awesome i can play minecraft max out its ideal for anyone just start on a gaming pc with a low budget +399 GraphicsCard POS 4 run this in my HP dx2200 with Ubuntu 11.04 it do the job . it take a little load off of the RAM and CPU without require a psu upgrade -lrb- I have a 250w -rrb- . my motherboard be a older msus with the ATX chip set , so i have no driver issue and the DVI port work like a charm . +231 GraphicsCard POS 4 this GPU be so efficient compare to the Nvidia gpus -lrb- especially my gtx280 this card be replace -rrb- . it be more powerful than my old gtx280 but it draw much less power and generate less heat . at first I be a little hesitant to migrate from Nvidia to ATI just because it do not have `` physx '' . but after play some game that support `` physx '' , I actually do not notice significant difference that I could notice immediately in fast-pacing game . one note that , the driver be a bit buggy in Windows 7 . under low stress , the bottom of the screen would flicker when scroll -lrb- ie . when browse the net -rrb- and it be somewhat annoying if the computer be use for web browse regularly . however , if the card be under high stress -lrb- ie . play game -rrb- , the bug seem to disappear . give that I install this card in a gaming machine , I do not feel this as a big problem . but people who use they computer for web browsing , or light office work , might want to consider this too . as far as Asus DirectCU II cool system , it be huge -lrb- even larger than the card itself -rrb- , but it do cool the card very well . it stay in somewhat low RPM even under load so it be not too noisy . temperature be in the 30s under low load and get up to 70-ish under full load -lrb- card be overclock to the maximum as well -rrb- . Bottomline , other than the driver itself , I could not complain about this card . +462 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have be want a new video card to replace my aging nvidium 8800gt that have serve I well for many year now . after review dozen of card , I take a chance on this gtx560 as a worthy replacement candidate . so far it have meet all my expectation . before buy a new graphic card , my concern be the basics for item such as stability , reliability , performance , and noise . several of these item I could only gauge base on review and feedback from other . I 'll address each of these item to the best of my knowledge and experience with the 560tus 448 core so far . stability : this card have be rock solid since the moment I have install it . I have not yet encounter any strange problem in game . the most noteworthy item I have encounter be that Steam warn I that my card be not identifiable in they database or that I may not be run the latest video driver . I believe this have to do with the 448 core release . I be currently still use the graphic driver that have ship with the card that come on the CD . nvidium have to incorporate this card into they general 500 series release before it will be recognize by they installer . so far I have not have any issue with the game I play . reliability : give that I have only have this graphic card for about a month , I can not really give any kind of reliability rating other than 1-month . the card come with a 3-year warranty which I do not realize at the time of purchasing . I make a incorrect assumption of lifetime warranty support on a evga graphic card . that be my own mistake . evga do offer the ability to extend the warranty at a nominal cost for anyone that be concern . it can be extend from 3-year to either 5 or 7 year base on the amount you be willing to pay . Performance : so far this graphic card have not disappointed I . give that I make the jump from a 8800gt to a gtx560tus , I move several generation upward in graphic performance . I be currently drive a 24 '' -lrb- 1920x1200 -rrb- panel with all my game . so far this card have provide a very positive experience in the fluidity of game play . for the hardcore gamer look for benchmark number ... I do not have any . noise : the noise of the gtx560 ti 448 core be very acceptable . at idle desktop use , the graphic card noise be almost inaudible . I be currently use a Antec p183 case and it sit on top of my desk within 18 '' inch of my ear . the idle temp be in the 50c range and the two large fan and heat sink do a good job keep it cool enough at lower rpm to not make for a annoyance . during game play there be a audible difference . I can hear the fan a little bit more , but it have not detract from any game play nor have it become annoying . the fan have never increase in RPM enough to ever become annoying . I also have yet to overclock this card , so that may make a difference in the noise level of the fan if I decide to do this in the future . other notable item with this card be that it be important to make sure you have the two pcie power cable , one 6-pin and 1 8-pin . I be power my system with a PC Power & Cooling 750W PSU which have no problem hand my system . also make sure to measure inside you case to determine if you have room for this video card . this be a rather long video card . in my Antec p183 , I have to move the top-most hard drive bay down one bay and remove the drive carrier from within the case in order to fit this card . here be the spec for the system use in review this card : primary system : CPU : Intel Core i7 860 -lrb- 2.8 GHz Lynnfield -rrb- hsf : thermalright mux-120 motherboard : Gigabyte P55M-UD4 memory : 4x 2gb Corsair xms3 ddr3 -lrb- 8-8-8-24 1.65 v -rrb- Video : evga 560tus 448 core classify case : Antec P183 Power : PC Power & Cooling 750W Storage : WD 300GB Raptor 10k RPM Storage : 2x Samsung 1TB 7200 RPM -lrb- Spinpoint f3 hd103sj -rrb- dvd : Sony Optiarc ad-7240 1st Display : Dell U2410 24 ' lcd -lrb- h-ip panel -rrb- 2nd display : Dell 2001FP 20.1 ' -lrb- IPS panel -rrb- cooling : Scythe S-FLEX sff21d 120mm Case Fan OS : Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate +106 GraphicsCard POS 5 this video adapter be great for add a 2nd\/3rd display to you laptop . the refresh rate be not great , but its more that adequate for business application . it even work well enought for video chat . overall , I have be very happy with the device . it also come with a helpful app that allow you to move the screen a window be display on by hit ctrl + screen # -lrb- something Windows 7 should provide out of the box -rrb- . +948 GraphicsCard POS 5 here be my computer setting : Dell XPS 8300 i5-2300 2.8 GHZ , 6G RAM , 128GB SSD , Integrated graphic . I play Starcraft II a lot . the game be slow even if I use medium graphic setting -lrb- resolution :1600 x900 -rrb- . go through a few forum , I settle with this card . here be what I find : pro : 1 : it be very very quiet . my power supply be 460w . it be plenty for this card . 2 : the window experience index score be now 7.8 -lrb- Integrated graphic 5.2 -rrb- 3 : Starcraft II -lrb- utra high graphic setting -rrb- : fp be between 54-101 . average :75 -lrb- use the integrate graphic , I only get 14-30 . -rrb- 4 : it have two 6pin power connector I do not need they as my power supply have they -rrb- . it also come with a VGA to DVI adaptor . this be really handy . 5 : Surprise and bonus : there be no description on Amazon site that this actually include a free game : dirt3 : . 6 : Great build quality 7 : 3d experience -lrb- I have not test yet -rrb- con : 1 : this be large card . you want to make sure you motherboard have enough space for it . Tips : this can be personal experience . when I first install the card , I notice the fan noise immediately and it could not be recognize and my monitor show no signal . so I plug my monitor back to the integrate graphic card and install the driver . then I plug my monitor to the graphic card and power on the machine . then fan noise be disappear and it become very very quiet . I see signal in the monitor . Windows 7 start to recognize the new card and install the driver for it . the resolution still do not look good . after a restart , my two monitor be recognize and be set to they maximum resolution automatically . overall , I really love this card . this be great graphic card that you will not regret buy it . update -lrb- 09\/27\/2011 -rrb- the card be still rock . it take I two week to finally get the AMD stream key to download dirt3 . the game have 11gb download size . I follow the instruction on the coupon code card . after fill out all the info , submit , be ask to upload a scan photo of the coupon for evaluation . Make sure you sign up they newsletter when submit the code . otherwise you will receive no confirmation . I do not sign up in the beginning . no response after one week . I contact they through web form . still no response . then I re-do the process and sign up the news letter . I get response from they after two day . they say they be evaluate all the submission ... anyway , great card , bad service from AMD . Update -lrb- 06\/05\/2012 -rrb- some people report that dirt 3 be not include any more . +530 GraphicsCard POS 5 pro : 1 -rrb- fantastic cooler . quiet , efficient and powerful cooling ability keep the temp down and the clock up . I manage to clock up to a insanely high 960mhz core clock -lrb- from the stock 800 -rrb- with no voltage increase while keep maximum temp at 69c under full load . fan do not go above 60 % and remain incredibly silent . that be a 20 % increase in performance over the stock 6950 !!! 2 -rrb- eyefinity be a true wonder to behold . this card have the performance to maintain playable framerate use a triple monitor setup with a border compensate resolution of 6408x1152 . 3 -rrb- Free game ! dirt3 and Deus ex Human Revolution include with purchase . what a great value . con : 1 -rrb- due ex activation key be receive with no issue , but AMD 's dirt3 promotional page be down at the moment , mean no free dirt3 for now -lrb- seem to be a common complaint with this promo page -rrb- . 2 -rrb- the cooler on this card be very effective , but at the same time make for a somewhat lengthy card to install in smaller case . not a big deal for anyone with a mid\/full tower case . Bottom Line : Quiet , effective cooling result in crazy overclock without worry of overheating -lrb- 69c max on my card vs. the usual 90c on stock cooler -rrb- . great value with the include game - assume AMD reactivate they dirt3 promo page sometime soon . fantastic eyefinity performance for a minimal price . +201 GraphicsCard POS 5 fenomenal video card . . price and quality . . all game play in full hd and max resolution . . i be very happy . . evga with NVIDIA perfect match . . any noise perfect cooler in progress +469 GraphicsCard POS 4 I have be work with other 6950-based card and be have a hard time get my temperature under control . I decide to experiment with a higher price-point on a device that review better and appear to have better thermal control -lrb- two fan , etc -rrb- . the difference over my ` whatever the cheapest 6950 be ' be marked ... I have script that vary the chip frequency in order to keep it below my max temperature -lrb- 85c -rrb- . other card all end up peg at 85c with the clock rate be vary to keep it there . this one stay at it be max with stable temperature in the 70 . the net effect be roughly at 30 % increase in the yield of the card . well-worth the price premium . +643 GraphicsCard POS 5 I upgrade from a 9800gt and now I can finally play skyrim without a problem . this card be pretty big so make sure you have room in you case for it . I have a x79 setup in a hafx-942 case so its a nice addition to the rest of the hardware . +274 GraphicsCard NEG 1 install this ` graphic ' card on my AMD quad 9600 Phenom equipped pc . go from a old GeForce 9500GT w\/512mb of video RAM to this soup up AMD Radeon hd6450 w\/2 gb of video RAM . be thinking I would increase my WEI by a few point -lrb- from 6.1 on the old card to something higher -rrb- . install the latest driver and control . my graphic index be now 4.3 . try several graphic and there be no difference between the old card and the new . a total waste of time and money . would not recommend this card if they be give it away . +890 GraphicsCard POS 5 I need another monitor but do not want to buy a internal video adapter . StarTech external video card work as advertise . I be able to install and use the adapter in a few minute . I do not have any problem or need to troubleshoot to get the Startech adapter to work . great product . +941 GraphicsCard NEG 2 I purchase this card for a new pc I build from scratch . spec on my gaming rig be thus : ASUS P8Z77 pro board core i7 2600k Sapphire Radeon 7870 OC 2gb 16 gb RAM Corsair Vengeance black Samsung 830 128gb ssd -lrb- system + only major app -rrb- Seagate Barracuda 2 tb 7200 RPM HDD Cooler Master tpc-812 heat sync Cooler Master HAF-X Blue Edition -lrb- newegg exclusive -rrb- + all fan for all fan slot Cooler Master silent pro gold 1000w power supply Sony dvd burner win 7 64-bit only run a single monitor , 24 '' ACER on the DVI port Processor temperature do not get too high nor do the video card temperature . in fact , my box stay very cool . Processor idle temp be 29-31 Celsius . when play Skyrim on ultra , the processor can get to 57 Celsius . I have 2 fan blow directly on my GPU as well - one from the side and one blow toward the back of the computer . when play game for long period of time , 3 + hour , at least once in this time period my screen will go black -lrb- video signal be lose -rrb- , the fan will spin at max , and the only way to stop this be a hard shut down by hold down the power button . there have be a lot of document case online . just search for `` Sapphire 7870 crash '' or `` Sapphire 7870 black screen '' and you will see page of precisely this issue . apart from these crash , this be a good mid-range card . it run at low temperature and deliver good frame rate . however , the constant crash have leave a bad taste in my mouth . since it be be over the 30 day with Amazon , I 'll see if my credit card company will refund my purchase . I really want to like this card base off of the review I read at Tom 's hardware and other source . but the regular crash make keep this card untenable . I have also read that people who have RMA would this card still experience the same issue with they replacement . I 'll probably end up go for the EVGA GeForce GTX 680 with the dual fan . this have be my first experience with radeon on the pc and with Sapphire Technology card . +682 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I purchase a evga hd570hd card with the rebate . they make you enroll for any number of registration and signup to even enroll you rebate . after agree to receive all they advertising and other b after 10 week I finally get the rebate check . I take the rebate check to Chase Bank -lrb- also my bank -rrb- upon which the check be draw and Chase refuse to pay on the check state that the check be draw on a invalid account . I contact evga and after 4 day get a appology . EVGA say they would replace the check . no doubt another 10 week wait . they have go dark about my request for reimbursement for the fee I be be charge by Chase for they bad check deposit . bounce rebate check be a inexcusable business practice . knowingly send out rubber check be a disgusting way for any company to treat they customer . I will never buy another evga product again . buyer beware - if you hope for a evga rebate be alert that you may never get you money and you may incur additional bank fee due to they fraud\/mistakes . you will also have to incur countless time on the matter . +509 GraphicsCard POS 5 actually i recommend because it be amazing card , but i dont like the price , i be happy with this video card +347 GraphicsCard POS 5 I build my pc for gaming , and it just work great . this Video Card have a great performance . the graphic be just amazing , I can play the newest game and wach every detail . it be incredible . this be my pc : Motherboard Intel DX79SI Intel 3930k Processor Intel thermal solution liquid evga GeForce GTX 580 classified ultra , 3072MB Creative Sound Blaster recon3d thx pcie fatal1ty Champion Sound Card Corsair Vengeance 16gb ddr3 1600mhz pc3 12800 Quad Channel cmz16gx3m4x1600c9g -lrb- x2 = 32gb -rrb- western Digital Caviar Green 2 tb Desktop Hard drive WD20EARX Corsair Professional Series Gold 1200-watt 80 plus Gold certified High-Performance Samsung SH-B123L \/ RSBP Internal DVD-Writer Corsair Obsidian 650D Aluminum Mid Tower ATX Enthusiast Computer Case - black cc650dw-1 +669 GraphicsCard POS 5 I spend all day on the computer at work and at home , usually with several window open for reference on the same project . my laptop -lrb- Dell e5410 -rrb- only support two monitor through its built-in graphic card and I want a third to avoid all the window switching I do now . I receive the adapter , download and install the latest driver from Startech -lrb- as explain in the package -rrb- , I plugged-in the adapter and connect the cable . 5 or less minute later I have 2048x180 on 3rd monitor . no problem with performance or app error , seem very stable . +504 GraphicsCard POS 5 after purchase and install this in my rig , it have outperform all my expectation . Run SWTOR on max setting beautifully . play game like Crysis 2 , Dead Space 2 , Far Cry have all be flawless . battlefield 3 be almost all on max setting . mw3 max out . wow play fantastic but its not a GPU heavy game but still make it look very nice . get a strong 7.8 Windows score . install afterburner and have it now tune and stable at over 1000mhz . most of it be do without any voltage tweak whatsoever . I think it be stable at 1040 with no voltage as I stress test it with Crysis and Crysis 2 . after 3-4 hour on Crysis it show sign of artifact . I back the clock down to 1020 and its be stable since then . after I voltage adjust it , I could maintain 1040 with no issue . have not go higher as it work great for the game I play . great card with enormous OC potential . stay cool even at OC would spec . Heatsinks and the copper pipe dissipate the heat very well . +906 GraphicsCard POS 5 receive 2-3 day before expect . take about 15 + minute to install and download software . the change in antique pc amazing . Grreat price , service and evga be amazing . after read many review , evga seem to be the best choice . I agree ! +305 GraphicsCard POS 4 let I start out with a forward by say the card be a beast ! I upgrade from a mid-range 9800gt to this thing and get dx11 support , thrice the graphic process power , and a card that can run everything I can throw at it at 40fps or above . I do not really fancy the Dirt 3 that much , but hey , a free game be a free game . if you be into GPGPU application then this one be definitely a home-run hitter with its 2tflop compute power . mining bitcoin yield 250mh , although it falter when GPU render in Sony Vegas . however , the card be rather large . in fact , I have to rearrange some cable just to get it to fit in my case . regard actual performance ; while AMD be gain market share , the majority of game be seemingly develop for Nvidia . in fact , Deus ex Human Revolution , a game that be once often gifted with AMD card , suffer from periodic slowdown , even with this beastly card . the slowdown be not limit to this game , however , and be exacerbate by record with frap . also , the driver for AMD -lrb- namesake `` catalyst '' -rrb- be also notoriously inferior to Nvidia 's . the change be not aptly document enough , and I have yet to find how to maintain my image aspect ratio in game -lrb- all the information I find on Google be for driver at least 3 version earlier -rrb- . the molex to 6 pin adapter that come with it appear flimsy at first , you have to force the connector in a bit until it slip in . if either connector be not plug in you 'll get the fan run at jet engine speed and no display , although you usb device will be work fine . also , I would not count on that rebate . just assume it be money lose . +262 GraphicsCard POS 5 Easy to install and set up despite Vista . I must admit I be experience with atus product and make sure that I uninstall all of the previous ATI driver and software -lrb- no way around it ... or you 'll have problem -rrb- . the install software work fine and update itself without a problem . now my older Asus socket 754 machine with 8x agp do video and most game almost as well as my Athalon 64 x2 machine with pcie video card . a good buy if you be try to get some extra mileage out of a older agp board . +812 GraphicsCard POS 5 upgrade from a hd5670 to this and it be a world of difference . I think my computer be run modern game pretty decently before , but the difference be night and day now . be able to max out setting on bf3 , Skyrim , Fallout : NV , etc. . the card be huge and kind of block my sata port , but that be more my fault for not measure first . I be able to get it hook up , but about 4 of my sata port be unusable . overall very happy with this card . +652 GraphicsCard POS 5 need to add a second monitor to a work pc . install this one in a few minute , and the driver installation be a breeze . nice utility also to make change to you monitor setup\/resolution\/etc . +741 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be a replacement for a card with a bad fan . it work as advertise out of the box , & its quiet . -lrb- no fan -rrb- it arrive ahead of schedule & in perfect condition . Amazon do it again ... thanks . +122 GraphicsCard POS 5 we need to get a dual monitor request up & run for a few folk at work & this card work out perfectly for the job ! +751 GraphicsCard NEG 2 I buy this card to replace a old MSI 512mb card . I figure it be time to upgrade because most game would lag on I in high detail . after look around , I find this card . unfortunately for I , I make the mistake of assume that 2gb of ddr3 ram would increase my performance . my old card get a 4.1 on the WEI . this card , to my surprise , only increase by .2 point . I be so upset , mainly because my old card have cost I only 35 $ . I would not recommend this card to anyone because for the same price you can get a card that get a 6.7 on the WEI and cost $ 60 as well . he radeon hd 6570 iceq 1 gb -lrb- 128bit -rrb- ddr3 hdmus dvi-d -lrb- hdcp -rrb- VGA PCI Express x16 2.1 Video Card -lrb- h657qo1g -rrb- I strongly recommend this instead . +275 GraphicsCard POS 5 have no issue with delivery , installation and operation . even have some documentation , which i do not have to use . hardware : HP ACPI x86 base desktop , model nr a6250z . replacement for original ge force after it bite the dust . like large heat sink , no fan - no noise , less power consumption . Make sure to install driver . +846 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy this card for a Dell Optiplex GX520 that I pick up cheap and have be upgrade -lrb- now -lrb- p4 , 3.4 ghz . -rrb- it be a small form factor business desktop and only include one low profile PCI slot . -lrb- no agp or pcie -rrb- the intel integrate gma950 could not accelerate Flash , nor play flash at high def full screen , plus there be no hdmus or dvi output , only VGA . after install this pcus graphic card , I can now play full screen , 1080p youtube , with Accelerated Decoding and Accelerated Rendering , 30 fp , no drop frame . CPU utilization on my p4 , 3.4 hover around 10 % -12 % -lrb- win Vista , 2GB RAM -rrb- during 1080p flash playback . I be very satisfied with this solution . \* note , this card do not have a fan . the heatsink will burn you if you touch it - it get that hot . I assume it be well engineer and this be acceptable . I have have no problem with the card or the system crash . +477 GraphicsCard POS 4 the performance of this card seem ok . it have handle anything I have throw at it with ease . I deduct 1 star for the follow reason : 1 -rrb- lack of instruction - I be force to research some stuff on the interweb to get this card to work as intend . here be a couple of hint for those who run into the same issue as I do : - power connector on card - both 6 pin cable be need , and need to be connect to you psu . not very intuitive , and not document in the instruction . in fact , the only indication that these power cable where need be a sticker on the card packaging . the little image on the sticker show only one cable , so naturally , that be how I set it up . big pita if you be build a brand new system as I be . - three Monitor support - this issue drive I crazy and require I to spend a extra $ 30 -lrb- bye bye rebate -rrb- on a active display port adapter . this model card , for whatever reason , need to utilize very specific connection if you want 3 monitor to work off of you rig . in my case , I be use 1xdvus , 1xhdmus , and 1xdisplayport -lrb- active displayport to VGA connection -rrb- . the last part be the key . the Display adapter must be a active adapter . if the adapter you purchase do not specifically say ACTIVE , it will not work . you can not use 2xdvus and 1xhdmus , as I originally have plan . you must use the display port in the mix if you want you 3rd monitor to work . the good part be that even though I be use a older 720p 32 inch Samsung as a 3rd monitor , the card somehow allow the monitor to display 1080p . run live tv and stream netflix\/hulu with ease . play around with eyefinity , but because of how my monitor be set up -lrb- 2 on desk , 1 mount on wall -rrb- , eyefinity do not really work with my need . all in all , card be ok and meet my need . would have like a little more guidance on the setup via instruction , but hopefully this review will spare you the hassle I go through . +321 GraphicsCard POS 5 the card be great , perform almost as good as a gtx 570 -lrb- 5 % - 6 % in performance -rrb- . and perform better than a gtx 570 if you overclock it . battlefield 3 on Ultra setting -lrb- everything max -rrb- will run in about 42 - 57 fp . turn AA off and you will get 55 + -lrb- Ultra -rrb- on high it will run above 60 + FPS always . since I have not use the card that much I will list the con and pro so far . . pro : - Clocked at 797mhz instead of 750mhz from MSI and 765mhz from Zotac . - look great ! - evga logo on card have a white lead so it look 's good if you have a case with a side window . - come with a awesome case badge . con : - big card . -lrb- not to I but it be for a lot of people -rrb- - hard to SLI in the future since it may disappear after a while . . conclusion : it be a great card for the price , I would give it a solid 9\/10 . +841 GraphicsCard POS 5 I purchase this external video card for my double computer monitor . it work great and i dont have any problem with the image quality . the only thing i do not realize be that it do not come with a VGA cable so i have to go to bestbuy and buy one for $ 25 but that be my own fault . order this product it be great . the free two day shipping be awesome also . +880 GraphicsCard POS 4 I have not purchase a graphic card in a while but to I this thing be huge ! I put it into a htpc case and it fit fine . I be use to play console game but the game I play with this card through steam with maximum setting be more visually appeal . I be use Windows Media Center for watch tv and I be encounter the 59\/29 issue . I be dismayed that this card be afflict by it . I also notice some stutter with cyberlink dvd Blu-Ray playback with this card as well . hdmus out work fine and overall I be happy with it . +158 GraphicsCard NEU 3 it be a stable card that have good graphical performance but , the fan would rev up really high randomly while at idle , gaming or stress testing , I must have get a bad one . evga make great video card , I just need one with a little more power with a fan that do not act up . +218 GraphicsCard POS 5 AMD know how to make gpus . they make great card , and every now and then , nail it and make a absolute perfect card . they succeed with the 5850 and it be brother 5870 and they succeed again with the 7970 . the 5850 have MASSIVE OC headroom with a start stock core clock at 725 and people easily reach core clock of 900 and above the 1 ghz mark . with the 7970 , the oc headroom may not be as large , but be still there . a start core clock of 925 and a easy oc up to 1125\/1575 be just a lower oc . I have a 7970 reference card by Sapphire , and I love it . it do run extremely hot , at around 85 degree c at 1175\/1575 . I have to set the fan at around 65 % at that temperature and the sound and heat be just too annoying for gaming for more than 10 minute . I consider buy a aftermarket cooler for around $ 80 which be review to be excellent , although a tad on the larger side , and extremely tedious to install . I own a Antec 900 case , so combination of put in another $ 80 with $ 579 original 7970 price , amount of work require and the smaller case size put I off buy the cooler . I return my reference card and switch to this one . the Sapphire Dual-X card be absolutely amazing . although the gtx 680 be review to be slightly better than the 7970 in a few category , it be important to remember that the 7970 have a larger advantage in higher resolution . this be not to say that the 7970 be bad at 1920 x 1080 . the performance of this card be ridiculous even when overclock to around 1125\/1575 , which be the max in CCC , and can reach that clock at stock voltage . however , if you would wish to oc it higher , use other program such as msus afterburner and trixx easily suffice . another amazing feature this card offer be its dual bio . it have two bio setting , one for a normal every day use and one suitable for a more aggressive oc profile . for all ocer it be recommend to switch to bio 2 , which be a simple as flip a switch on the top of the card when install but not power on , and provide so much more comfort in know if you brick one bio -lrb- extremely unlikely -rrb- you can just pop to the other one . my main original problem with the reference 7970 be the fact that it be very loud and hot . run this card at 1200\/1600 at 1.3 volt with a modest fan profile that I have only see run at 55 % , the card reach a maximum of 50 degree c and idle at around 28 deg c. this be a fantastic improvement , and the fan be nearly silent as well . the only time I hear the fan run over the case fan and operation volume be when I be torture the card in Heaven , Kombustor , 3D Mark Vantage , and other benchmarking program . this card blow the reference design out of the water , but I may have receive a card that have random kink in it . while it be not a dud and can oc a little bit , I be unable to oc it more than 1200\/1600 at 1.3 volt compare to other owner of the same card , cpu and mobo that I have talk to . yes , I know that there be many variable in ocing gpus but I think 1.3 volt be rather high for a more average clock speed . I have read multiple review of people achieve 1200\/1600 on voltage around 1.22 , and my voltage of 1.3 seem like overkill . run the card at 1200\/1600 be still satisfactory and still deserving of a 5-star rating . overall , this purchase be absolutely worth every penny . when compare to the gtx 680 at around $ 500 , with performance that rival if not outperform the gtx 680 , and for a good $ 30 cheaper , this card be a absolute must buy for computer enthusiast and gamer alike . +811 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I install the driver and when my computer restart I get black screen on my laptop . I have to restart and go to safe mode in order to uninstall the driver , so I could get my display back . I try to do it twice , and get the same result , so give up and return it . +964 GraphicsCard POS 5 First thank u , I be truly satisfied , the product be really great it be work outstanding most of the game be run smoothly . the packaging be very good , the delivery be on time , I be really happy buying from u. +499 GraphicsCard POS 5 this pcus video card work well on new and older computer aspeshally if they only have a pcus slot . I put it in a 2004 computer have a little problem get it to work right because to bio be so old it do not have and auto configure for onboard or pcus video selection , so I have to go into the bio to change the onboard setting to pcus and it work great . +51 GraphicsCard NEG 2 pro : it work as expect . con : it do not handle Windows 7 aero very well . if I have a aero theme on , all my screen get choppy . with aero off , my other screen behave well , but the usb2vgae2 one be still a little choppy . I also use a mimo um-710 usb power 7 Inch Swivel lcd Screen Mini Display the driver for the usb2vgae2 adapter be not compatible with the driver for my Mimo . because of this , I have to uninstall my Mimo . attempt to reinstall it make my Mimo work and the usb2vgae2 monitor fail . overall : it be a fair product and do what it advertise ... just not very well . you get what you pay for . +464 GraphicsCard POS 4 I love this card . it be run everything I have throw at it at max setting . the only downside be that it barely fit in my case . +494 GraphicsCard POS 5 this thing can run just about anything at max setting with little effort . I can run WOW in windowed mode while watch a blue ray on my 2nd monitor and surf the web at max setting and still get 60 + FPS . same go with every game I have throw at it . total overkill for most game but soooo worth it if you love gaming and want to play at the highest setting . now I just need to save up for a 2nd one and set it up in SLI . not sure what I would do with it , but it sure would be cool . -lrb- : +877 GraphicsCard POS 5 the card work well for online video game . my old card be too slow and this one work very well . it be quiet and I have be use it for a while with good result . +650 GraphicsCard POS 5 I need a card to replace my aging hd Radeon 4770 . this be the card for the job . use this card I be currently play Skyrim at max setting with no hiccup . I recommend make sure you have a power supply of at least 500w before purchase . also this card be large , be sure you have enough space . +336 GraphicsCard POS 5 purchase this card as a upgrade from a hd5670 and I have to say it be well worth it . Video playback be crisp and clean . I can play all my game on max setting with no lag . installation be a breeze just , make sure u have a appropriate psu with 2 6pin pci-e cable to power the card . also note that the card be very large so if u have a slim case this may not fit . +112 GraphicsCard POS 5 when I buy this , it be $ 165 , plus another $ 20 back in a mail-in rebate . for that amount of money , it be the best card you can buy . I have three monitor run a eyefinity display -lrb- one continuous display -rrb- to play Skyrim on three monitor , and I can play with the highest graphic setting without any lag . to install this card , I have to move my hard drive around so that the bay across from the pci-e port be open . this card be huge , but the cooling system be fantastic , and despite what some other review say , I can not hear the fan even on full unless I mute Skyrim . the install disc that come with the graphic card be corrupt , so I just download the software and driver from the Sapphire website . also , they do not tell you this , but you also get a free steam download of dirt 3 . it be 11gb , though , and I have not get to it yet ... +496 GraphicsCard NEU 3 i can not give a review b\/cause the video evga be not the problem 4 my pc i have have 2 purchase a new pc becaause of someone who be not well train 2 repair my pc +186 GraphicsCard POS 5 excellent 7970 . nice look , five heat pipe , low noise . Overclocks well and be stable at 1260 Core amd 1800 memory . run on x79 motherboard with i7-3930k and yes , pcie 3.0 work well . this be the fastest core and memory speed I have ever achieve . utilize heat sink on memory chip . +804 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have a older pentium 4 1.8 ghz computer . it be run pretty slow and I need it to do some photoshop work . I reload window xp and update all the driver . max out the memory on the motherboard -lrb- 2 ghz -rrb- . I read some review and this Video Card stick out . it be a agp card which be the best option I have for the motherboard and it offer the most amount of memory for a agp card . when I finish the upgrade to the computer I have a real powerhouse for image editing and pc Games . the card work beautifully and I can really tell the difference in the image quality and speed of game play . I be so impressed with this video card . the other negative review appear to revolve around compatability problem . its really a matter of `` luck of the draw '' with any hardware or software upgrade . there be countless manufacturer out they make hundred of different component in a computer . there be go to be time where two piece of hardware simply do not get along . who do you blame ? the negative review seem to blame the video card . well , who be to say it be not the motherboard , bio , Faulty AGP\/PCI\/PCIE slot or power source ? it could be anything . I be just one of the lucky one I guess . I would suggest you give this one a whirl . it will install and run without a problem and it will be one of the best upgrade you can make . +575 GraphicsCard NEU 3 I install this on my work laptop . it have the laptop screen and 1 external monitor span . this device allow I to add another external monitor . the speed could definitely be improve by support usb 3 . you can certainly notice a bit of jerky motion . for work , however , this be fine for I . if you laptop or computer support usb3 , I would recommend skip this unit and get something else . my laptop only support usb 2 . +64 GraphicsCard POS 5 this ASUS be a replacement for my 6950 -lrb- unlock to 6970 -rrb- and I have to say that it be better in every single way ... I can not find a real con -lrb- perhaps the price be high , but you do get what you pay for here -rrb- . this ASUS perform better than my previous card with virtually no fan noise . those that know the 6950 know that the fan noise above ~ 50 % become painfully obvious , and give how hot those card run under load -lrb- often go as high as 80-90c for I -rrb- , high fan speed be a must . with this ASUS , I be stay below 65c under load with virtually silent fan noise . moreover , I be get better fp ! I be use a triple monitor setup and I be initially hesitant to switch away from AMD , but now that the NVIDIA 6 series have triple monitor support off of a single card , I decide to make the plunge . I highly recommend this card - it be lightning fast , use about 100 less watt at full load , run 20c cooler at load , be practically silent at load ... and be perform like a workhorse to boot . you will not be disappoint . +17 GraphicsCard POS 4 I have a xfx hd 5670 and it be a really good card for the money -lrb- 90 buck -rrb- and it run every game i can throw at it . but i be get sick of turn the graphic down to play game like battlefield 3 and it still struggle with 30fp . so i buy this card . this be the bast upgrade i have do yet !!! it be really fast , powerful , quiet , and stay cool . but u do need a lot of air flow from the side of the case to keep it cool . if you want to know it score a 7.8 weus . it run at ultra graphic with v-sync off on bf3 at 1600x900 at around 60-70fp which be phenomenal !! but be get sharp lag every few seconds ... that why i knock it down to 4\/5 star . i fix it by turn the game quality to high instead of ultra . but really ... double the fp make the game sooo much easier and the first night i have it i play a few hour on bf3 and go from lvl 26 to lvl 31 !!!! it be so much easier to hold the crosshair on the target now and be just so boss . temp idle -- 37c load -- 60c -lrb- with msus afterburner profile -rrb- i highly recommend msi afterburner for any graphic card . it keep you card cooler only when u need it and can OC and make it very quiet on idle this graphic card pull a steady 60fp in bf3 on high graphic at 1600x900 with v-sync off -lrb- v-sync lower you fp to the hertz of you screen ex . 60hertz screen = 60fp max -rrb- +630 GraphicsCard POS 5 I order this card because I be look for a 2gb 6950 from a good manufacturer with non reference cooling . -lrb- I hate Turbine Coolers with a passion -rrb- I be not look to unlock , but I do consider it a bonus . the good : it run Cold . at 900 core and 99 % load it be only 65c in my Antec p280 . in a case with better airflow , it will be even cooler . at 900mhz core its a definite upgrade from my old gtx470 at 775MHz Core . look good shader may unlock depend on the method you use . the Bad : only sapphire trixx offer voltage control for overclocking which make a otherwise great card that would be fun to push nearly useless . after one night of work with MSI Afterburner -lrb- Industry Standard -rrb- and the . cfg file change , the most I be able to do be get the Core clock to be modifiable . Voltage remain tweakable only in Trixx . if you dont mind , its a great buy , but TRIXX be a terrible program for someone who be use to Afterburner , and end up be a deal-breaker . most of the time , shader be lock , and not even a bio flash to a 6970 -lrb- which can damage the VRAM by force it to run out of spec -rrb- change that . unlock on a non first gen 6950 usually only add about a 3-6 % performance increase and ~ 80watt of power draw . Max VCore be 1.18 , mean the card be really hold back from its max potential . why 5 Stars even though I sound like I hate it ? if you be new to overclocking , want a very fast card that can do 900 core on stock voltage , or do not care about use terrible software for you overclocking , there be far worse choice than this card . it be a truly solid card , and worth every penny . but I mess up a order a card that be not what I need . that not a reflection of the card quality , its a reflection of I . Addendum : after speak with spicybomb via email , they agree to give I a refund even though it be not defective and do not meet they requirement for return . they be incredibly helpful , and very easy to work with . im send it back with the unused Dirt3 Code and Unregistered Warranty information , and ill be look for another 6950 2gb with fewer restriction . probably a he iceq or a MSI Twin Frozr II\/III . +40 GraphicsCard NEG 1 why would the product information not contain system requirement ? I order this to use with my MacBook , but right in the manual it state that window be require . if this have be in the product information I would not have order it Hope I do not have to pay return shipping ! +311 GraphicsCard POS 5 I absolutely love this card . I have three 20inch monitor and it run any game I want on ultra with no problem . I get about 40fp run Crysis on three screen with everything turn up as far as it can go . I have also overclock the card with no problem . over all I would say that this be the best deal too because it have all the stuff you need right out of the box for run three monitor , its stay cool even when overclock , and it be one of the smaller size card for those of we who dont have a big case . con I have to try a few thing but if I overclock it to its maximum its run but sometimes it lock up , and I think that be just the silicone lottery as they say . +378 GraphicsCard NEG 1 i too get this card and after hour and a half with tech support they conclude card not good to bad since i get a great price on it they say if its to good to be true well it be o well i will try again for another one . . +780 GraphicsCard POS 4 awesome card . out of the box card boost to 1241 mhz -lrb- instead of the specify 1137 -rrb- on Heaven 's benchmark without I do anything and luckily do not crash . even manage to overclock it to 1300 mhz stable . pro : - Free backplate - awesome look card - quiet as hell , even at 80 % I can barely make it out from my case fan . con : - avoid use the GPU Tweak program that come with this , several people have get red screen of death from use it . uninstall it and install EVGA precision x or msus afterburner solve that issue . should you buy this right now ? : - it be a bit of a lottery . various people that buy this card have crash at the stock speed when run thing such as Heaven 's Benchmark , bf3 , etc. . the issue be for whatever reason , the card be boost over the specify 1137 on stock setting , as state in my first sentence I receive mine at 1241 . some people have to downclock they card from stock setting just to be stable , which be a bit silly . basically ASUS overclock the card way too high and do not properly test they . honestly , I would just buy the non top version if you really want this card to avoid the lottery mention above . hopefully ASUS fix this issue for they next batch . +266 GraphicsCard POS 5 I recently build my computer from the ground up . I run my game -lrb- company of hero , Skyrim , mw3 -rrb- on maxed-out graphic , the card will overheat unless you have additional fan -lrb- I use cheap coolmaster blue led 's -rrb- and manually set the fan to around 70 % . -lrb- 100 % if you do not have additional fan -rrb- . the only time I have notice this Vidio card can not keep up -lrb- run max out -rrb- be in the tunnel in Skyrim , the screen tear . I will eventually run SLI , that be the main reason why I purcase this 2gb version . EVGA have very nice tool for overclocking , change fan speed , and testing . these tool come with the card . I be very happy with this card i7 2600k Corsair 750w PSU dual DVI monitor +269 GraphicsCard POS 5 First of all , I be not sure why anyone would buy the normal gtx 580 when this one be the same price !! anyway that be really not important , what be important be that this card be awesome . I basically purchase this so I could play skyrim on ultra and it have far exceed my expectation . I be actually play the game now with the skyrim hd mod that have even higher resolution texture and there be still no slow down . I be come from a gtx 285 and I do not think I would need to upgrade for a loong time but I guess that time have come sooner than expect . basically , if you be wonder if this card be worth the price tag , yes it be . +447 GraphicsCard POS 5 after buy some that give I the bsod this one work yay . fast service and a decent price . this adapter be a breeze to set up too +343 GraphicsCard POS 5 just get two and run slus , extremely fast - perfect without have to go straight for the 690 seller be top grade at a great price . +525 GraphicsCard POS 5 I play on a 1080p non 120 hz screen and this be overkill for it ... but it look fantastic . I feel no need to overclock with this card on a small screen but some will . hey if you can afford it , get it . if you want to wait , wait . do not over pay . there will always be something better . for upgrade nut , you know that a classify edition will come , so do what be right for you . as for I , I love it . for people who do not want to spend grab a older card for most will still perform well . +818 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy this card nearly two month ago for one purpose : to unlock it to a Radeon 6970 . the first thing I do before I install it be to flick a tiny little switch near the CrossFire connector . it boot up , I go straight into gpu-z and there it be : 1536 shader as oppose to the stock 1408 shader . all thing consider , this card be more about overkill and bragging rights than pure performance . unless you plan to game at anything over 1920x1080 , or multi-monitor , one of these -lrb- + unlock -rrb- will handle anything you throw at it as long as it be support by a great combination of CPU -lrb- such as a core i5 2500k -rrb- , RAM , and a quality power supply . I be see some bottleneck with my AMD Phenom II x4 955 OC 'd to 4.0 GHz , so a Sandy Bridge Intel system would probably let this card flex its muscle better than my setup . if you do plan on gaming at higher resolution or on multiple monitor , and want to get two of these card for CrossFire , make sure you read up on the issue of micro-stuttering . micro-stutter only happen on multi-card setup , specifically dual-cf or dual-slus . tri-cf and tri-slus setup do not have the micro-stutter issue , so if you be really load , have a huge , full-tower case , and a motherboard capable of hold 3 of these , then that be definitely worth try out . regardless , you should buy this card specifically as it be one of the few non-reference 6950 that allow you to unlock to the performance level of a 6970 , and the unlock process be literally just a flick of a switch . ~ $ 250 for the performance of a $ 350 be not a bad deal at all . also worth mention - I have to jump through quite a few hoop to get my dirt3 game -lrb- which require Steam , I think -rrb- . after go online to enter my code , I have to also upload a scan image of my voucher and it take AMD about 24 hour to send I a code to activate the game on steam . the reason for this be because earlier in the year , some hacker steal a whole database of dirt3 voucher code and so AMD have to go through a few more security measure before they will give you a dirt3 download code . as for the game itself , it be alright , but would probably be much better if play with a controller or a steer wheel . like all drive game , it benefit from force feedback for the steering , which a keyboard simply can not provide . +827 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card be simply amazing ! when you have two it be twice the insanity ... with no adjustment to voltage this card oc 's to max CCC setting and at the same time remain quiet and cool . temp under full load oc would be relatively low , never over 65c after only 2 day of ownership I can see a vast improvement over my previous cf setup -lrb- old run 2x msus twinfrozr 6950 2gb pe\/oc -rrb- some fact and in game observation ... bf3 - all slider to max setting - 67fp - Dell 30 '' Monitor @ 2560x1600 Skyrim - Max setting - so visually stunning it will blow you away ! funny what a difference a few check box make ... and do not forget how unbelievably gorgeous these card be . the new Double-Dissapation heat sink design , ghost thermal technology and silver\/black chrome finish make this by far one of the more attractive gpus out there while deliver excellent cooling . \*\* put you hand near the card during operation reveal `` feeling '' warmer air come off the back section and rear of the card . to I that mean the card design do a good job of point the hot air out of the case . -lrb- ... -rrb- Bottom line : one of these will get you through most everything out there with a smile , BUT if you be run multiple monitor with high-re you may consider toss a pair of these puppy in you rig . you will not be disappoint . +817 GraphicsCard POS 5 my genealogy hobby have reach the point where I be review hi resolution image of old italian document . information from the document be then enter into large spreadsheet . be able to do this without have to flip between screen be a real time saver . this card have no trouble handle two wide monitor , and be not strain my 300 watt power supply . Easy installation and trouble free setup make this card a bargain . highly recommend for basic dual monitor setup . do not do gaming , so can not comment on that . +375 GraphicsCard POS 5 very solid Performance . I want a card that do not show any sign of get bog down by anything that I might be work with -lrb- Adobe and Corel graphic app. , autocad , m Office apps. , and browser -rrb- all open mingle back and forth at the same time ! this card can so far ... do what I need and have throw at it . regards , mike +853 GraphicsCard NEG 1 when the card work , it be amazing . you can run any almost any game out there on max setting and the card will not even break a sweat . HOWEVER , EVGA have have a rough time with the 670 . quality control be terrible , and many people be end up with bad 670 's from EVGA . when I receive this card , it work for a very short time , then die . I know my brand new computer be fine because I put the card into another computer and the same exact thing happen with the card in the other rig . the 670 itself be a excellent card and I would definitely buy a 670 over a 680 because you almost get the same performance for quite a bit less . my 1 star review be towards the poor quality of EVGA 's 670 , seeing that there be too many dud get ship out to eager pc gamer . do yourself a favor , avoid EVGA 's gtx 670 . you do not want to end up go through the rma process and wait a extra two week to get you card back . I do not buy this product from amazon , but I do think amazon shopper 's deserve a fair warning about this card . +327 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have 2 of these in slus in a system with the amd phenom ii x6 1100t and 24gig of hyperx ddr3 1600 ram and they be hard to beat . I have not run the 680 's yet and plan to wait till the stutter issue with v-sink be line out befor puting over $ 1000.00 into 2 more card . I only run evga video card and they have never let I down . these card run cool around 29c to 31c at idle and have not go over 55c to 60c under gaming load as the room temp go up and down . they be large and do need alot of room in you case . they take 2\/8 pin and 1\/6 pin each for power to the card . I run the xfx pro1250 power supply and it run these card well and have plenty power conection to run the 2 ulta gtx580 's . I have the inwin dragon rider pc case and with the side fan on these card just fit with no room to spare . I would think alot of mid tower case would have issue with this card as far as room to fit go . I run the card on a gigbyte 990 motherboard and it have alot of room between the pcie slot for good airflow . if you pcie slot be close together you may run into mount issue with 2 card they be large and wide . with the 2 card I can run any game or sim I have with all set max out at 60fp to 120fp . some of the flight sim I run have very high aa and af -lrb- 8\/x to 16\/x -rrb- setting but these card still run at 60fp or better with very few drop ever . most card like the gtx560tus 2gb card or the gtx570 1.5 gb card can not hold even 60fp at these high aa and af setting . they drop to 40fp and lower at time and you can tell when this happen it will cause a stutter at time . right now for the money and no issue in any game or sim I have not run a better super high performance video card . when the evga gtx680 's and the gtx670 's get line out I think they will give better performance in some but not all game and sim . from what I have see with these card they will be hard to beat gaming . +535 GraphicsCard POS 5 this video card work exactly as I expect , and install it into my Dell Dimension 4550 pc . +603 GraphicsCard NEG 2 this card rank really low but its cheap . save you money and buy a better one . benchmark it 3 time and rank low low low . +988 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card arrive in only a matter of day , even before Amazon could say that it ship , which be weird because accord to they it have not leave yet ... although I be use it this moment . I run a couple of game on it and both run and look great . video and photo load , and save faster . installation be very easy , but do a search for installation tip specific to you pc and use they . no problem so far . Dell Dimension 2400 p4 2.88 MHz , 2Gig ram , win xp +287 GraphicsCard POS 4 my first issue be probably more with Amazon then the shipper . Amazon have a earliest delivery date of the 7th , and it sit in my mailbox in 100-degree weather since it have be deliver on the 3rd . I be sure the board be fry , but now that it be finally install , it seem to be work fine . installation issue : 1 -rrb- my understanding of low profile be that it should not take much much space . no matter how I reorder my card , I could not fit it in without remove a card . 2 -rrb- while set display preference and test it with various thing , I realize I have no sound . Windows tell I I have no audio device . I google and google and google then google some more . lot of people have post the same problem , but none of they have receive answer . finally I find one where a NVidia guy say that Windows sometimes recognize the card as a audio device , and you have to reboot , go into setup immediately , and change you onboard audio from `` auto '' to `` On . '' if it have not work I be go to jump out a window , which would not have do I any good because I live in a one-story house . but it be now work fine . now off to give it a workout in Everquest II : -rrb- +649 GraphicsCard NEG 1 con : card itself be severely underpowered . will not play hd movie without stuttering , even with a quad core 3.2 ghz cpu , and 8 gig of ram behind it . do not even think of gaming on this , even on lowest possible setting . will not output to a phillips tv properly over dvi or hdmus . -lrb- this be a issue with some phillip tv and nvidium card in general -rrb- , require a registry change to make it partially work . pro : low price , handle normal window usage very nicely . very low power . this would be great for a person with a low budget that need to replace a dead video card , who only play facebook game , and use they computer for mostly work related stuff -lrb- surf the net , m word , etc -rrb- . +599 GraphicsCard POS 5 unlock be so easy that even a 3yr child can unlock it . you just have to change the switch away from golden finger -lrb- crossfire bridge -rrb- and boom you have a 6970 at price of 6950 my pc config -- AMD Phenom II x6 1100t ASUS M4A89GTD PRO\/USB3 Corsair xms3 cmx1600c9 4gb Kingston Hyper X t1 4x2 = 8gb 1600mhz wd Cavier Green 1TB Crucial M4-128GB SSD Cooler master 690 ii Advanced Cabinet Cooler Master GX750 PSU Samsung PX2370 Moniter pro - 1 -rrb- unlockable to 6970 with push of switch 2 -rrb- can overclock it to HD 6970 easily with trixx software utility 3 -rrb- very quiet and run very cool 4 -rrb- constant 40 + fp for battlefield 3 , crysis 2 , assassin 's creed brotherhood with -lrb- 1920x1200 , 8xaa , everything max out -rrb- con - 1 -rrb- must give a game dvd not coupon . conclusion : buy it +265 GraphicsCard POS 5 buy this as part of my budget gaming pc ; I mainly play sc2 which it can run on ultra setting -lrb- I usually just play on medium\/high -rrb- GPU temp go to ~ 55c if I be run sc2 for a few hour on medium\/high ; should also be note that I have a Antec three Hundred case w \/ very nice cooling overall very good graphic card and very quiet +252 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card perform wonderfully , great graphic with no problem . the fan do make a bit of noise , but nothing that be bothersome . it be quite a large card , so be prepare to have room in you case for it . also , it do take two hookup to power it , so make sure you have enough . otherwise , money well spend ! +570 GraphicsCard POS 5 the gtx 680 be here faster than the date it say it would be by 5 day and I could not be more pleased with it . once the price go down by $ 100 - $ 200 I plan to buy another because this thing be work great , and I will be put it in slus format . this gaming card be amazing I move up from a gt 460 and can not be happier with my purchase !!! +139 GraphicsCard POS 5 let I start off by say it be a very good card . it 's typically sell for $ 70 but i find it on here for $ 20 cheaper . it be easy to install and it start up fine and update all the driver and everything work great . I play CoD : MW and turn everything up and it pick up the slack for my crappy processor and it be excellent . great card for a good price , it be a bad idea to pass up something like this . have a fan on its body to cool so that help with overclocking and keep heat down . the card also ship with overclocking software from ATI and that do a great job overclocking within a safe range for you pc . my friend buy it like a year ago and it run he about $ 200 , this be a deal you should not pass up . +554 GraphicsCard POS 5 this video board work fantastic for I . I be replace a Geforce nx5600 the fan have fail . I order a evga geforce 210 but the fan be extremely noisy defective so I order a ASUS Geforce 210 silent and it arrive and would not work at all - doa . so when the ASUS Geforce 8400g arrive and work I be delighted . it be easy to install , as be the Drives & software . the performance for the price be fantastic . very pleased +395 GraphicsCard POS 4 so far so good . have work flawlessly . this be the third card type i order . the first two be not as advertised but this product plug in and do exactly what it say it would do . I end up order two more and put they in all my machine . Time will tell on how durable it be , but overall well pleased with delivery time and product performance . +695 GraphicsCard POS 5 my old graphic card be shoot , replace it with visiontek ATI Radeon HD Graphics Card . the first one I receive from Amazon do not work . I call Visiontek at first thinking I screw up the installation -lrb- it be very simple to install -rrb- they rep. tell I the new card be shoot . contact Amazon and they replace it next day mail and it be all good . the fan be a bit noisy at start up , but quiet down after a few minute . +580 GraphicsCard POS 4 buy this card to get a little more life out of my dual core machine . I have purchase the same chip for my quad core by another mfg but only one rebate allow so i have to try this gigabyte version for the dual . I be run it in xp64 , on a dual core machine , gigabyte motherboard ga-m55plus-s3g . replace the onboard video . use it with 4 gb of memory . so far pretty good with fs2004 and a few older game from about 2006 , i.e. need 4 speed series . for the price i can not complain too much . once in a while i get a little screen flicker on startup but mostly stable . enable I to run at a much higher resolution . one of the decide factor be that the chip support xp64 , although i run win7 and vista on the quad , the dual have to handle older game , so it be nice to see support for xp64 . +301 GraphicsCard NEG 1 do not buy this graphic card . unless you pair this thing with a i7 and 16 gig of ram , do not expect a lot . I buy this mainly for Diablo 3 , since it be on they `` high performance '' list on they website . I pop it in and load the latest driver , and do not see a single area of increase performance from my GeForce 9600gt , which be a extremely old card . I plan on return mine to Fry 's tomorrow . +474 GraphicsCard POS 5 great video card , best out there at the moment . as well as receive great online rating -lrb- there be 2 that be better I think 580 and one other but the performance difference be so little and the price be double -rrb- . I get it so I can play video game at high resolution and stream they life online . the FPS go from 15 to 50 + with this card ! just a advice , if you do not know this already - get a power supply 600 watt be perfect . some people say 750 or 1k but 600 be more than enough why use more electricity when you do not need it . I get this one : ocz ModXStream pro 600W Modular High Performance Power Supply compatible with Intel Sandy Bridge Core i3 i5 i7 and AMD Phenom +21 GraphicsCard POS 5 while the stand alone power of this card be very competitive , the real potential in this card lie in its SLI scale-ability . eyefinity on three monitor be also a nice brand feature compare to PhysX . it be support by more title . +602 GraphicsCard NEU 3 I buy this video card to give I Aero capability on a old HP desktop -lrb- 2004 model -rrb- for a Windows 7 upgrade . the video work great . the only problem I have encounter be my pc will not wake up from sleep mode . I do contact evga for support and they be responsive but could not fix the problem -lrb- it be a old computer with old bio -rrb- . for the money it have save I from a computer upgrade for another year or two so it be worth it . +563 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be a very good card . fast with enough memory to handle the extra stuff . handle mw3 and bf3 on high and ultra with no problem . the card run cool with adequate ventalation . this be a good buy for gamer that want the speed without spend a mint . +729 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have be incredibly satisfy with this card . it run really really well -lrb- in spite of my terribly slow processor -rrb- and give I well over 60 fp for almost all game -lrb- except any Bethseda game , for which I get 45 , as they be more CPU intensive -rrb- . recently , my computer stop work . I be not sure if it be the graphic card or the rest of the computer . honestly , though , even if it be the graphic card that break , I would still be happy with my purchase . it be well worth it , even if only for such a short time . +258 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I be unable to use this product for my pc be not design to install this type of video card . sorry not use not rate . +172 GraphicsCard POS 5 excelente producto llego en buen estado y en la fecha acordada !! funciona excelentemente . . e una excelente tarjeta de video puede jugar cualquier juego ... +503 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card deliver incredible performance ! I just upgrade from a Nvidia Geforce GTX 570 in my sub - $ 1000 gaming rig build -lrb- push up to $ 1100 by this upgrade -rrb- and be totally satisfy . this card be killer , outperform the gtx 570 by about 10fp on max setting 1920x1080 in battlefield 3 and benchmark article show it outperform the gtx 580 by 15-20 % in most game -lrb- at about the same price ! -rrb- . also supposedly draw much less power than the previous gen of top-tier card so you should save on electricity bill vs a gtx 580 or radeon 6900 series . give the way AMD and Nvidia have be stagger they release , these top-tier card price do not move much over time . Notice how a 1 + year old Nvidia GTX 580 still sell for almost 85 % of its debut price . no-brainer to get the best card you can afford because you can sell it a year later and get the latest greatest without spending much more . if you want to see the rest of my build , check out -lrb- ... -rrb- . build it all with part and deal off Amazon ! +516 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I be excite to have buy this card and I hear great thing about it , but when i receive mine and install it i get maybe 45 seconds of use out of it before it turn on the overheat light , my display fail , and the fan start spin at max speed . I have have good experience with sapphire before and this be a huge let down from any of the card I have have before . I unfortunately can not recommend this card . +758 GraphicsCard POS 5 I uprgade my xp to Windows 7 and be in need of a pcus graphic card to provide win 7 feature and DVI output . the Sparkle card satisifed my need , as it provide a DVI output , and have sufficient performance for my need -lrb- I be not as gamer -rrb- . +574 GraphicsCard POS 5 Update 10\/14\/2011 . in the 2 week I have run my evga 590 I have have several people contact I via email on my profile with question . yes , it do show up in sisoft sandra as 2x580 's sli'e and not a 590 -lrb- at least my version of sandra - later version may learn to recognize the 590 card -rrb- . yes , I have run the 3dmark11 demo on the card and its goregeous , but no I will not make this a video review because that would mean cut the 16:9 down to amazon 's 4x3 format for review and super compress the datum to fit amazon 's video limit -lrb- the hd output file from my pro 3ccd camera be huge -rrb- until the quality of the original be go . I shoot the 32mark11 run 1920x1080 with a 1920x1080 camera carefully allign on axis of the monitor , exit the sound with fiber and go fiber to xlr into the camera 's line input for sound to produce a AVCHDPRO file of the demo . if you be serious about the card and want to really see the stunning hd video then please email I - I may convert the AVCHDPRO into AVCHD and then setup a download site on my server for the hd datum that you can watch in window media player at 1080x1920 , as it be mean to be view , with full stereo sound , but limit to people who have a system that warrant view hd , so please include you system config and I 'll reply with a download site \/ password if there be interest . there be 2 3dmark11 demo - the submarine and the jungle - with fulll lighting and smooth motion it be eye candy . -rrb- original review below : I buy my geforce 590 after upgrade a oem system which come with a geforce 2xx series to a geforce 480 now on craigslist with 1 year of use . I be amaze at the performance difference . the upgrade to the 590 have 3 time the memory , 1024 cuda core -lrb- essentially it be two gtx580 's SLI'ed in one card - it also need 4 ea slus power cable to run , along with a 850w p -rrb- . I do a lot of NLE video editing -lrb- hd 1080p\/1080i -rrb- and the 1024 cuda core really chew through hd video in a short time . the 590 be the BLEEDING edge , so there be some thing to keep in mind . first , you will need a power supply with 4 -lrb- four -rrb- of the normal 6 pin slus connector . the 590 come with two adapter - each take two 6 pin slus 's and make a 8 pin plug that fit one of the two 8 pin socket on the card . both socket must be fill for the card to work , so you will need 4 ea 6 pin slus 's or 2 ea 8 pin nvidium slus power cable to run the 3gb\/1024 processor graphic card . second , you will probably need to make a bio change . I lose my digital audio output - in fact I lose all audio output ! - basically you must go into bio setup and change the motherboard audio from `` auto '' which choose the dvi card to `` motherboard '' or just `` ON '' \/ `` default '' . my mobo be factory set to auto and once I switch it per the nvidium knowledgebase -lrb- very good btw -rrb- it find my optical audio output and headphones\/6 jack on the back . go from the 480 to the 590 also be a cleaner card . the fan on the 480 be smaller than the 590 . through the 590 's fan you can see the expensive japonese low-esr capacitor . it be basically a computer in and of itself . it will still require 2 slot - the \/ 16 slot along with the next card over for the fan , which be now in the middle of the card . on my 480 I get 3 monitor , however one use a micro hdmus , along with 2 dvi 's - on the 590 you can have 4 -lrb- yes four -rrb- monitor , and now they use the more robust mini-display-port instead of the micro hdmus which do not sag or bend the connector . get 4 monitor on a single card be pretty impressive -lrb- 3 dvi plus the minus display jack -rrb- . installation be easier with the 590 as there be no heatpipe extend above the card , as with the 480 . I will post a picture of both card on the static free foam - the 480 be in the foam and the 590 be remove from the foam with the larger fan . altogether , the 590 be simply the best graphic card -lrb- imho -rrb- on the market today . it be like have 2 580 's sli'e inside the same box . gamer will no doubt be thrill with its performance . note however that this review be for October 2011 . com soon to a store near you will be the evga nvidium 600 with performance and price exceed the 590 . Video and photographic user will find that the adobe cs5 package use the 1024 cuda core in such a way that the program be lightning fast . it be a very good investment in upgrade a old computer . +230 GraphicsCard POS 5 when I first buy this graphic card , I originally buy it from Amazon but they send I a bad product so I have to re-order from NewEGG . thanks for that btw , Amazon . since get this card to replace my aging gtx 560 ti -lrb- ftw -rrb- , I have be most pleased with its performance . the 560 ti could not run most game at 720p on high setting . at would lag and frame rate would drop dramatically . the gtx 670 FTW Edition smoke the 5 series card . with over 1,300 core and 2 gb of memory , you will not need another video card for year . hell , by the time this card be outdate , you could just get a second one and you have enough power to last for 2 more year and only spend half what you do prior . I highly recommend spending big on you first real video card . I get this one for 400 usd but I also get a good deal from newegg because I receive coupon for free copy of assassin creed 3 and Borderlands 2 . Performance be off the cart . the temperature be steady and when you use EVGA precision x to control the fan speed automatically , you never have to worry about the temperature rise above 120 degree fahrenheit . plus , it be quiet . it will not disturb you while play the more non-intensive game like turn base Strategy . there be only one downside to this card and I do not count it against it at all really . the card be large in size so you must have a larger style , or FULL size tower case to fit this thing . also keep in mind that it require two 6-pin connector from one of you power supply rail . Make sure you have a minimum of 750 watt of power available to you . the newer power supplies should have no problem support two of these baby . I 'll see you all on the digital battlefield ! +913 GraphicsCard POS 4 as describe , this will allow you to use a second monitor on you computer when you do not have a proper graphic card . especially important when you do not have any VGA or DVI port on you computer , and only have usb port available . +843 GraphicsCard POS 5 excellent value . high end . big card use two pcie slot . well make . excellent graphic display . quiet fan . +519 GraphicsCard POS 5 I do have to buy a new power supply -lrb- mine be a 250 watt -rrb- but the product arrive quickly and install painlessly . I buy it to run Starcraft 2 , and it run on Ultra -lrb- or extreme , I can not remember -rrb- it run on the highest setting without a hiccup . the card be somewhat large due to the fan assembly -lrb- it will take up the room of two card -rrb- but it only need one slot to plug in to . it also need a 6 pin power connector from you computer 's power supply . it do not come with a converter . +13 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card replace EVGA GTX 285 which have 240 CUDA core -- gtx 560 ti with 448 CUDA core ; I definitely notice a difference with my 3d programs-rendering time be quite a bit faster . card require 2 6-pin power connector ; the instruction refer to as '' +12 volt Rail Amp '' . the card be easy to install ; however , I be unable to load driver from the website so I end up have to use the CD driver as well as other reviewer . I trust evga as my gtx 285 be still work ; I replace it because I want to have the ability to connect my tv and 2 monitor to the card . resolution and refresh rate be very close in comparison to the 570 which I almost buy , however , the selling point for this particular card be the output -- that be it have a Display-Port and a regular size hdmus port rather than the mini hdmus port -lrb- find on the gtx 570 - and other higher end card of this type -rrb- as well as the additional CUDA Cores . +750 GraphicsCard POS 5 we get this for a older HP with xp install . some of the newer game would not perform properly with the old card . Amazon have the best price . the install be very simple and it have make such a difference . we do also install a 500 watt power supply at the same time to prevent overheating . this be suggest by some techy on informational site . I +319 GraphicsCard POS 5 recently purchase the Sapphire 3850 to replace my burn up video card for my 2004 custom build tower . this card breathe new life in my old 1g computer and have save I a bundle for the immediate future -lrb- not have to replace my old system -rrb- . simple installation and no hunting on the internet for current driver update be need . this card be considerably longer in length than my previous video card and it be a tight fit in my coolermaster case . in my search , good APG replacement card be become hard to find as all the rage be the PC Express pin style ; however . the Sapphire Radeon 3850 seem to be a excellent alternative and at less than $ 130 it be a great investment . I be very pleased and would highly reccommend this product . +88 GraphicsCard NEU 3 solid product bad engineering on CPU bracket . when purchase I think this would be quite easy to install since I have over 20 year experience . this be not so the biggest problem be with the CPU bracket be poorly design . it consist of loosely install the bracket and then twist the CPU heat sink into position then tighten the bracket down . do not sound very hard but actually to accomplish this I have to install the heatsink on the motherboard before install the motherboard , and work with three large piece the motherboard , video card and the radiator install all at once prove to be a challenge without break something . +950 GraphicsCard POS 5 I can not wait to play Borderlands 2 on it . it run cooler than my old gtx570 . 4 gig of ddr5 to play with , I be in heaven . +236 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card be awesome ... editing , render and transcode within Adobe Premiere be fast , cgus from Lightwave blaze , the dual monitor setup be sharp with good color control . well worth every penny . +902 GraphicsCard POS 5 very good card for the price , get mine for 159 be on sale so couldnt pass up . like i post above this do not come with free dirt . Didnt really care for the game so didnt make a difference to I . some thing that be not list on here , newegg , or the sappire website be : core clock-900mhz Stream Processors-1120 Stream Processing Units Effective memory clock-1050mhz everything else standard with the hd 6870 . currently have mine overclocked to 925 . when in use get 50-60c -lrb- with no add cooling unless you add some water block which of course will lower the temp -rrb- . havent really test how far the card can go , but with the game that i do play on a constant basis : Counter strike source : 60 fp max everything dota 2 : 60 fp max everything build : cpu : fx 6 series mobo : gigabyte ud3 ram : 4 gb corsair 1333 psu : corsair tx 750 +919 GraphicsCard NEU 3 this product be useful whenever the goal be just show image on multiple display . the point be the device datum transmit rate be low and it be not good for show motion -lrb- movie , Games , etc -rrb- and if you do that you can just see a fix image of movie . other important thing you face with this product be , there be no additional monitor in device manager and you should use it be own very simple application to manage the extended part +58 GraphicsCard POS 5 I can not tell how this compare with previous Nvidia GTX generation because the last consumer graphic card I own be a 9800gx2 . at it be time that be one of its best but still could not handle Crysis at maximum setting . this on the other hand cut through Crysis and Crysis 2 like butter at 1920x1200 with everything set to maximum . the card be quiet and look very cool inside my black on the inside pc case . I do not see any reason to buy a second for slus because this can handle anything . diablo 3 also run without hick-up in case you be wonder . I be finally pleased and overjoyed to own a card like this that can handle everything I trow at it , maximum setting without the noise and heat of older generation card . and of course you can not go wrong with evga . the package contents and presentation be top notch and so be the build quality of the card . I really love this card ! +748 GraphicsCard POS 5 I try video card and other product that claim to do what this one do , but none of they work . the StarTech USB\/VGA adapter be easy to load\/setup , and once activate I have both monitor show what I need in 5 minute . this unit work great , and I be recommend it to anyone who need to run a `` two screen '' application of any sort . I be run pro tools and need to split the screen so I can follow all the application without have to constantly close this , minimize that , etc. . +341 GraphicsCard POS 5 I install this onto the mother board easy peasy , and boot up . go to nvidia website and it automatically update and install . this improve my computer performance , and I now have 2 monitor as a extended workspace ... it be really great ! +440 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy two of these card for crossfire , and i must say they be the best perform card that i have ever have . very nice graphic and very fast card . +683 GraphicsCard POS 5 three of my son and I have be play SWTOR since release and have a blast . however keep three gaming machine update be always expensive . when a friend offer a i920 & mb at a good price I jump at it . after install the frame rate really be not much better than he 3.06 GHz Pentium dual core ... yea they be a little better but it be apparent the older 8800 gt -lrb- 640 -rrb- be the bottleneck . I spend the past two week read everything online about this , the 7770 , 7750 , 6850 , GTX 560 -lrb- se and non -rrb- the 550 Ti etc. . . I want to make sure he could run high setting @ 1080p and stay well above 30 fp in warfront and in the station . there have be report of AMD card have issue in the station so I be a little worried but decide that this look to offer the best bang for the buck . the purchase be definitely the right decision . I install the card today and with the i920 at stock speed we have not see the FPS drop below 35 with everything set to max and it be average about 60 . the lighting , the shadow , aa everything look beautiful and so far the 12.3 driver be stable -lrb- he have be play about 4 hour straight now -rrb- . in most of the world it be run 70-100 fp and it be actually cooler -lrb- temp wise -rrb- than the old 8800 GTS . I actually think the 2d , text be crisper , look better as well . we have not try it with any other game as I just rebuild the system but I have full confidence it will run whatever we throw at it well . as a long time , since the original Riva TNT -lrb- STB Velocity 4400 anyone ? -rrb- , Nvidia ogre this card have make I reconsider that bias . I be definitely go to consider AMD card for the other system as well ... kudos to AMD and Sapphire on a great card . score higher than the average 6870 on PassMark G3D mark as well , 2939 which be close to the average of a gtx 470 . if you be look for something to play current game at 1080p , most game at high , with room to grow I would highly recommend this card . +12 GraphicsCard POS 5 so far im extremely satisfied with this card upgrade from a 5770hd . its very quiet , 2gb vram , idle around 28c , its OC , and two fan ! bf3 i get +45 fp with most ultra and high setting same go for the witcher 2 and 60 fp for skyrim . my spec : Amd phenom iix4 955 3.2 ghz Gskill 8gb ram 650w antec psu Asus m4a7xtd evo mobo the only con i would say be it didnt come with second video card lol . +980 GraphicsCard POS 5 install in a snap and work great ! run everything I have smoothly and at max setting . no driver issue like I have with my ATI card . one word of advice , however , if you buy this card from a place that offer extended warranty , do not do it . evga offer they own extended warranty at a much cheaper price . I would certainly buy this card again . also Amazon shipping be great as usual . I choose the 1 day option since this be a `` emergency '' replacement and they have it at my doorstep within 24 hour on a Saturday . this be a win win purchase ! +732 GraphicsCard POS 5 firstly ignore the idiot 's `` 1 star '' review '' . this be the most powerful card out there to push any of the new title be release . I love it and the price much better compare to anywhere else . right now i be save up to buy a second card ! ^ _ ^ +864 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have get a three monitor setup -lrb- 2 x 23 '' lead and 1 x 47 '' lcd -rrb- . the 47 '' be power by this adapter . installation to use take about five minute , with very simple instruction . it do exactly what it say . highly recommend . +569 GraphicsCard POS 4 THIS CARD be STILL EITHER HAVING DRIVER issue or just a bad and slowly die card . crash all the time in game and have issue do simple thing like window score . over clock be very low compare to other with this same card . will be BUYING ANOTHER one SOON and will compare the two and see WHATS GOING ON . be sure to read all the comment on here . as of 3\/27\/2013 I have increase I rating and the comment will explain . +873 GraphicsCard POS 5 hello there , I be sure as you read this review there may have be tear shed , hair pull out , forehead bang against hard surface , scream and curse utter , more tear , frustration , and exhaustion only to realize that you be still contemplate between the gtx 680 and the infamous 7970 . be a owner of a XFX dual Dissipation Black Edition 7970 factory oce to 1000m -lrb- currently the fastest 7970 -rrb- , I be skeptical of purchase a gtx 680 due to numerous rumor that claim they have similar performance . be a compulsive shopper I buy it . I run many test and here 's what I find : after compare benchmark with both card on 3dmark and Heaven , the gtx 680 and 7970 trade blow with each other . keep in my mind that my 7970 be faster than the reference 7970s . in game such as battlefield 3 , the gtx 680 perform faster by 5-12 % in term of fp on 2560x1440 resolution with max Ultra setting 0xaa . if you have a monitor with 1920x1080 or 1680x1080 , you 'll see a 20-35 % gain in performance on Maxed Ultra setting 0xaa -lrb- as prove by popular website such as hardcanuck , overclock.net etc -rrb- . I be afraid the 680 's 2gb vram be insufficient to render so many pixel on a 2560x1440 -lrb- just like how many gtx 580 1.5 gb user experience on this resolution which be why they release a 3gb version -rrb- , but to my surprise it do a fine job and still gain lead over the 7970 by 5-10 % . I will not go into too much detail since there be ton of respected website that do , but I hope this preview from a consumer , like yourself , give you a good idea of how the gtx 680 perform . have read through so many gtx 680 review , it all come down to ask who be the real winner here ? on a clock to clock basis , they trade blow with each other . it baffle I to see so many review website deem the gtx 680 as the ultimate champion yet the 7970 do not seem to fall behind too much . with the potential ocing room of the 7970 , a overclocked 7970 -lrb- 1200 + core clocked -rrb- have the same score as gtx 680 on some benchmark though not all . on the other hand , a oced 680 definitely will be faster than the 7970 . with this in mind , there be no clear champion . however , the Kepler GK110 schedule for release in q4 be rumor to dominate both of these card hand down . then again rumor be rumor but to my surprise many of the rumor regard the gtx 680 week ahead of launch date be actually on par . so what be my point ? if you have a 7970 , you should definitely hold off on the gtx 680 and wait for Kepler GK110 as you will not find a huge performance gain . Catalyst 12.3 driver be rumor to boost some performance for the 7970 -lrb- as we all know driver have always be a limit factory for AMD -rrb- . if you do not have a 7970 , then definitely upgrade to this card -- you will not regret it . though if AMD brighten up and lower the 7970s to mid to low $ 400s , then go for the 7970 and wait for Kepler 110 . on a side note , we all know that the gtx 680 be a popular card and be sell out in almost every retail store -lrb- I have to wake up at 6am on launch date to order mine from Amazon . it only take ~ 10 minute to sell out -rrb- , but please please please avoid buy from third party seller who have exploit this new technology by buy mass quantity and sell it at ridiculously high price . this prevent many hungry user from get the card on time . for example , I have see a few seller on Amazon marketplace who have already sell a few GTX 680 for $ 635 as well as eBay for $ 650 while the msrp be $ 500 ! I call Amazon as of 3\/23\/12 to inquire when the next batch will arrive so I can sli my gtx 680 and they say next week ! be patient and have faith in Amazon . NVIDIA anticipate to sell out quick on this item and every retail want to cease on this moment , so be patient and have faith in Amazon as every store be fight to restock asap . I try to write this review in the most unbiased way . but the truth be ... -lrb- drum roll -rrb- I be a Nvidia fan boy . I have buy Nvidia card all my life because I have read horrid story of AMD driver . I purchase the 7970 because it be the fastest card available with great architecture a few month ago and I feel Nvidia really lag behind the competition race : thumb up to AMD : . generally AMD driver be not that great . they often screw up crossfire support for many newly release game , however , its important to note that AMD 's new driver give more performance enhancement to higher end card than lower end . I have have a few crash on my 7970 only to have XFX technical support advise I to use a older driver 12.1 for stability . while AMD be move backwards on driver -lrb- lol literally -rrb- , NVIDIA be move forward . they driver have always be rock solid ! bottom line be you can not go wrong with either the 7970 or gtx 680 . the gtx 680 have be prove to be FASTER , but not by much depend on you setting . chase technology be like a bottom less pit -- its never end ! but if you be patient and not a compulsive shopper like I , wait for the gk110 . keep in mind that EVGA will be release various 680 version such as gtx 680 Super Clocked\/FTW 4gb\/classified 4gb in a `` few month '' accord to EVGA 's product manager . good luck !

Works well for we department . thank you . +498 GraphicsCard POS 4 as note above , this card work , be easy to install , and come low profile ready for slimline computer case . in my particular case , a early 2006 HP slimline s7320n , the heatsink on the card be slightly too big leave I with 2 option : 1 -rrb- lay the pc on its side -lrb- which I already do anyway -rrb- and do not screw the bottom case piece back in . 2 -rrb- find a different low profile card that fit better I choose -lrb- 1 -rrb- . the bottom piece of casing be not screw in and just barely be push out -lrb- the screw hole be not line up by about 1\/3 inch -rrb- . this may be undesirable to someone with a more traditional setup , and obviously I would rather be able to put the case all the way on . that say , there be simply not many video card option for we slimliner and this one be conveniently power completely by the pcus bus . finally , if you need this for a slimline , you will need a DVI cable . it come with 2 low profile bracket : 1 that utilize the S-Video and DVI output and 1 that utilize the VGA output . the one utilize the VGA be useless , at least in my case , because the card can not fit without completely disconnect the VGA . +453 GraphicsCard POS 5 this video card be amazing , so faster and so ship , i recommend 100 % this video card , so go buy one and get own on battlefield 3 +768 GraphicsCard POS 5 have a 8x agp 128 MB Nvidia card in older pc -lrb- 5 yr old or so -rrb- and install this card to give the video a lift for more serious gaming . upgrade the CPU a little at the same time , single core Athlon from 2800 + to 3400 + . let the xp `` find hardware '' utility find the driver on the internet . it take a while to locate and install the driver but work flawlessly . beware : Card work ok but end up have to bump up the system memory , card use a lot more than old one and do not leave enough for OS , so video be choppy . have to upgrade from 1 gb to 2 gb , now it work great . +938 GraphicsCard NEG 1 this card come for my new build and I be extremely excite to get it go at speed like 1150\/5000 as these seem to be easily obtainable clock for this card after read hundred of review . Sapphire have a great reputation . I be extremely disappoint when I go to benchmark in Haven and there be artifact -lrb- black line and grainy rainbow color -rrb- across the entire screen . sadly I be return this card and have order the Asus as a alternative . I really want this card to work , I guess someone have to get the bad chip though ... +753 GraphicsCard POS 5 exactly what I need . use to add 3rd monitor use Windows xp . arrive early , follow instruction and within 15 minute be up and run . have already recommend to co-worker . +310 GraphicsCard POS 5 Nvidia deliver a incredible price\/performance card in the gtx670 , and EVGA 's FTW Edition just take it even further . it deliver out-of-the-box gtx680 performance , 680 pcb , 680 shroud and 680 cool for $ 100 less - nevermind the 680 be above srp due to the availability\/demand issue . I be not a big overclocker , so i appreciate get a stable OC would card out of the box and that if i do decide to tinker in the future this higher yield chip plus the 680 part create a more ideal platform to squeeze more from a clock\/voltage\/cooling perspective . gtx670 ftw be more than twice as powerful as my pny 560tus xlr8 1gb oc card . I double VRAM with the upgrade , which will come in handy . my psu would not know the difference since the power draw for the 670 be very similar to the 560tus . love the efficiency of Kepler . bf3 peg Ultra ... sp or64 player map w\/70 + fp no problem . Crysis 2 dx11 ultra\/high re texture ... incredibly smooth above 60fp . Max Payne 3 ... peg dx11 ultra\/v-sync off i be hit a smooth 120-140fp ! this card will allow I to indulge with iceenhancer for gtaiv and the aggresive visual mod for Skyrim without sacrifice framerate nor get bog down in PhysX title . so far the card have work flawlessly in my pc : Intel i5 2500k @ 4.0 Ghz 16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 RAM Antec Kuhler h2o 620 Antec hcg 900watt PSU Gigabyte p67a-ud3p-b3 EVGA GTX 670 2gb FTW Edition WD Caviar Black 1tb 7200rpm\/64 mb cach Cooler Master storm scout mid atx the only con be a backplate would have be nice . also , point to the obvious : measure you mid atx case well . this card may be smaller than other ` big ' card , but it be huge and it be a tight squeeze horizontally in my Cooler Master storm scout . have power connector on the front side of the card be a blessing , or it could have be sad time in my install due to space my hdd cage take up in the case and my wiring up the middle . evga 's precision x be great utility . love the warranty and the step-up program with this vendor . I have not encounter any bug as of yet , but I be still go through the library put it through it be pace . between the day i order and 3 day later when it arrive , I notice the 5 star review on Newegg more than double . . like from 37 review to 85 ! . folk seem to be respond well to this sku and feedback have be positive compare to other OC model . this be very encouraging for the FTW 's overall stability . 680 Mac Sauce ! lol I order from Amazon , and be shock to see they simply put this in a box the height of the original packaging , with no add padding or measure of protection . just say : its $ 420 purchase . throw some peanut in , use a little more cardboard . Jeez . thankfully it be handle well and it arrive ok . so far it have be a great purchase , i be beyond satisfied . cool , quiet , efficient , powerful ... and great perf\/price ratio . +508 GraphicsCard POS 5 my card be box well , build well , and look sleek ; not that the last part matter . over many year of building rig for extreme power user to the everyday workhorse i have find two important thing with electronics : 1 . good cooling be a must , this card be great . 2 . the quality of material use must be high , no corner have be cut with this card . the capacitor be fantastic and the pcb be not too thin or flimsy . let I go back over something , a computer case be the most important part for you valuable part , a graphic card should not be use as a `` extra '' fan . true cooling start with the housing , and then you can move to higher quality material to ensure the best computing experience for you budget . why would you put a Super car engine in a cheap hatchback ? - you would not . Stay cool my friend . +323 GraphicsCard POS 5 Got this little bugger in the true Amazon rapid fashion . two thumb up ! when I open the package I be happy to discover this fat little buzzard with it be accessory and CD . I have not use sapphire product before but have hear from friend its a good bang for buck . except for eat up two slot installation be smooth . come with a adapter in case you do not have a slus power cable on you power supply . I have hear complaint about the hdmus and the hd audio have problem on installaion . absolutely no issue what so ever . the driver go right in and not a twitch or hitch . I fire up Mechwarrior live Legends and another Mecharrior game max with no studder these game be both run Crysis engine . HMDI run flawless on my 42 '' lcd . buy it , you will like it . price tag be not too high and it perform well . +29 GraphicsCard POS 5 I be a noob when it come to build a pc or know what all the certain spec for gpu\/cpu\/mobo etc. be and why they do what they do and how they do it , so do not expect a intricate review . there r plenty of those type of review out there for you to look at if u really wanna know that stuff . this be just a simple review detail my experience with this gpu . also this be my first ever review so if I miss thing I apologize . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I spend alot of time reading review n research part for my first pc build . I read lot of review and forum that say this card have laser lock shader -lrb- whatever that mean -rrb- so u CAN NOT unlock the shader to the 6970 . after much research i decide to go with this card because of the 2gb memory and I have hear alot of good thing about Radeon gpu 's though I have never own one in the past -lrb- I will be stick with radeon from now on -rrb- . this card run all game i play -lrb- skyrim\/kindoms of Amalur : reckoning\/bf3 to name a few -rrb- at max graphic setting -lrb- stock not OC 'D or unlock -rrb- with out a problem . I be able to unlock my card just by flip the switch -lrb- located next to the crossfire bridge\/connector thingy -lrb- you will need a knife or toothpick or something to flip the switch since its located under the pretty plastic cover -rrb- . run cool 30 degree c at idle . it be quiet and I really like that . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- unlock the shader to 6970 : I have read many review of people not be able to unlock the shader . I do not know why they could not or how it work or why some work and some do not , but there be many review and forum post to read about the subject if you be interested in that stuff . all I can tell you be my personal experience with this issue ... there be not one . I build my pc and never touch the shader switch on this card cause i want to see stock condition during gaming first . after all update and driver and all that fun stuff be finish and my game be load and test , I decide to flip the switch and see if it would unlock . I shutdown my pc , disconnect power cord , flip the switch , and restart pc . to my amazement and delight the shader be unlock from 1043 -lrb- or something like that , I can not remember exact number but it be 10xx -rrb- to 1536 -lrb- accord to gpu-z cause cpu-z would not show I any graphic info -rrb- ! it be beyond I why this card work and other do not . it be so easy !! which be good for a noob like I . no go into bio , no software to mess with and potentially fry the card , just flip the switch -lrb- away from the crossfire bridge connector thingamajig -rrb- and reboot and that be that . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- overclocking : I have not overclock this gpu because i have no need to . if it will run all game I play at max graphic setting i see no point in overclocking . in the future if i need to overclock it i will or get another so i can run they in crossfire . that be just I though . if you have to oc it for brag rights you need to look elsewhere for info on that because i have none to give . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- contents : this gpu come with a driver installation cd -lrb- of course -rrb- , a hdmus cable -lrb- sweet ! -rrb- , a crossfire cable -lrb- also sweet ! -rrb- , a registration card , and a dirt 3 download card to get you free copy of dirt 3 . note : dirt 3 coupon may only be redeem between May 24 , 2011 and December 31 , 2011 -lrb- accord to fine print on the download card -rrb- . I do not even bother try to get the game cause I be not into race game and do not need something on my pc i will never use . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- all in all i be very happy with my purchase of this card and have have no issue whatsoever and would recommend this card to anyone . be a great purchase for I since this be my first build ever and a huge learning experience . if you be a noob like I i would recommend this card for the simple ease of use I have with install and unlock . however ... keep in mind that some people be not able to unlock the shader on they card for one reason or another . this review be just my personal experience with the card . there be alot of thing like movie quality and such i can not compare to my old pc since my old pc be run Windows xp and this pc be run Windows 7 with different media player , and to compare the quality from one pc to another would be like compare a monster truck to a smart car . this be a new card , only a few day old , so if something happen in the future , I will add to this review with new info . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- my first PC Build -lrb- feel free to comment on it and add suggestion . like i say I be a noob and any info be helpful info to I -rrb- motherboard : Asus M4A87TD EVO Socket am3 \/ AMD 870 \/ CrossFireX \/ SATA3 & USB3 .0 \/ A&G; bE \/ ATX Motherboard CPU : AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Processor , Black Edition GPU : Sapphire DIRT 3 EDITION Radeon HD 6950 2 gb ddr5 dl-dvi-i\/sl-dvi-d\/hdmi \/ dp PCI-Express Graphics Card PSU : Corsair Enthusiast Series 750-Watt 80 plus bronze certified power supply compatible with Intel Core i3 , i5 , i7 and AMD platform Cooling : Antec Kuhler h2o 620 liquid Cooling System -lrb- my case come with 5-120mm fan and 1-200mm fan so i leave they in there and have they run as well -rrb- RAM : Corsair Vengeance 8 gb -lrb- 2 x 4 gb -rrb- ddr3 1600 MHz -lrb- pc3 12800 -rrb- 240-pin ddr3 memory kit for Intel Core i3 , i5 , i7 and AMD Platforms SDRAM Case : Antec ATX full Tower gaming case , twelve Hundred v3 -lrb- black -rrb- ssd : crucial 128 gb m4 2.5-inch solid state drive SATA 6Gb\/s HDD : current hdd 's be ancient so I be shoppin for 2 good 1tb hdd 's -lrb- any suggestion ? please give a reason for any suggestion u leave so i know why you suggest it -rrb- OS : Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +992 GraphicsCard POS 5 use it to bump up a older dual xeon machine -lrb- 2 x 2.0 ghz 32bit -rrb- . make a world of difference . use it for almost 2 month now with not a problem . I would buy it again if I need another . +73 GraphicsCard POS 5 receive , free shipping , one day early . install , with no problem , as soon as possible . do not uninstall all Nvidia driver software as I later read that I should have do before replace my geforce 295 with this new geforce 590 . my pcpower & cooling -lrb- 2008 -rrb- powersupply unit give I all the power I need to fuel this component . Windows 7Pro take over for a moment and install driver after first boot . the gpu function flawlessly with this default win7 driver installation . nevertheless , heed the advice on the evga website , I patiently uninstall all driver , accord to the evga website for uninstalling\/installing a new gpu , use the control panel program install\/uninstall feature . accordingly , I reboot to SafeMode and I use Phyxion 's driver sweeper to Uninstall every instance of the Nvidia driver that m have reflexively install after I have manually install this piece of hardware . I read and reread the direction for this action before go ahead and do it . I recommend that you alway read the direction ! I then reboot . no problem after that . after this I manually install the newest quality Nvidia driver and I reboot after that . I install the EVGA Precision software , which I have use for the past 2 or 3 year and can recommend without condition . I set the fan to my desire intensity . so far I have only have time to play civ 5 ; in game , on my g15 lcd I see gpu temp stable , namely , less than 80degrees c , and as low as 45 intrgameplay . I will report if game require heavier gpu work result in higher or , especially , unacceptable temperature spike . compare to my geforce 295 this 590 show I a more completely satisfy graphic-visual experience as I play , with only a rare visual artifact . to the point of this observation , the 295 normally display visual artifact on every reload of a save game , albeit temporary and not disable . the point to be make be that this 590 gpu do not display the same quantity of distracting artifact , so far . Game transition be faster . nice . Game visual quality be slightly better , which be I judge dx10 yield to dx11 -- not a impressive , but a slightly noticeable difference for I . -lrb- Update : it be impressively better in every way , not just slightly in the dx11 game I have have time to play so far . -rrb- I will report my observation if they seem noteworthy when I go one to play other title pc game with this gpu . to I and for I this upgrade be as strategic as originally choose , in 2008 , the powersupply that energize my pc . after a couple of year of satisfy work do by my 295gtx I can see , so far , that this 590 will probably fullfill my pc gaming need for more year than the 295 . if you desire a single card gpu solution , and if you have the power to power this device , and you want the bell and whistle this card provide , and if you can afford it , I recommend it without condition . +720 GraphicsCard POS 5 this install in a 8 year old pa computer with no problem . the driver and control program work as they should and it adjusted my VGA monitor for the best picture image for my 3 year old monitor . I want to try it with hdmus as money permit . +217 GraphicsCard NEU 3 as far as performance go this card be very good . the fan be real quiet yet keep the card nice and cool . it handle play all my game just fine . unfortunately , it suffer from terrible coil whine . it could be I just happen to get a bad one , but I do not take a chance on get another Sapphire since all 7850 be more or less equal . I return it and instead buy a PowerColor , which do not have any coil whine . +263 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have do a lot with this card , play all sort of game bf3 , Skyrim , AvA , mw3 , Alan Wake , Saints Row 2 & 3 , and the list go on . all have be on the highest setting without the need to OC the card . it give a realistic look to Skyrim that it be almost sickening . I can not even describe the great detail within the game . be a serious gamer , I have not have the need to OC the card and not much heat really come from it -lrb- in my opinion -rrb- , but I have a lot of fan move a lot of cool air into my tower . +598 GraphicsCard NEU 3 card have problem with youtube video . yes , Youtube video , cause driver crash . driver be fully update . I have have the card since May and the problem lately have get worse . it may be a faulty board , I do not know , but it be a tough pill to swallow to have a unstable $ 750 video card . +324 GraphicsCard NEG 2 the monitor connect to the usb device be set on a low resolution and be still choppy . the choppiness be too much , I end up not use this adapter at all . +131 GraphicsCard POS 5 I be give a old Tyan server board which I be use as a media server that only do PCI and PCI-X slot . I bring a Geforce 5200fx 256mb because the on board 4mb be crap . I do not know the card be not make for window 7 even through it work I be unable to use all the aero feature etc of Windows 7 64bit . so after 3 month of hunting I find that thhe geforce 8600g be the card the reason it take so long to find be PCI be hard to find . people sell pci-e say it be pcus which be misleading . I be happy when I find this card . I do not understand all the issue people be have . it be very easy to install and work great . this may help people . First uninstall any card driver you have install then shutdown and remove old card . then install new card plug in monitor and turn on pc . when it auto detect the card cancel out . then go to Nivida and download driver or use the cd that come with the card . then reboot and enjoy . great card for make a old pc come alive . it also have HDMI so I be guess you can buy a new monitor with hdmus connection or hook it up to you hdtv via HDMI no hdcp problem . -lrb- not test -rrb- +540 GraphicsCard POS 4 easy installation , just uninstall current driver , power down plug it in and install the driver and you do . support aero in window 7 . the Card also can run on a 250 watt power supply . come with a s - video cable for some odd reason though , and cover two pcus port , but overall its a good product . +0 GraphicsCard POS 5 do not get I wrong this card be really awesome specially for the price , I have not OC ` ed mine -lrb- beyond the Saphire OC -rrb- as there be no need to for pretty much any game at 1920 x 1080 resolution , but this card have a great OC potential if you be into that . however it feel like some driver would really unleash the potential , ccc 12.6 beta be say to improve performance for the 7XXX series and it do improve it ! . +692 GraphicsCard POS 5 card be perform excellent at this time . graphic be great to look at . should give a year or two of life to this older rig . Make sure you have a power supply greater than 450 Watts if you do decide to get this card . +942 GraphicsCard POS 5 I want to add a 2nd computer and this work great . just plug and play . it sure beat get a new video card . +412 GraphicsCard NEG 1 sound nice in the spec , do not it ? Kind of get you all tingly feeling think about how you can play the new game at the highest setting and all ? well the first card I have start fail in about three day of use . evga 's warranty be pretty nice , so I get a replacement send to I . that one work fine . for about three day . suffer all kind of failure , and at several point I think Vista have get corrupt . not sure if it be the driver , the board itself , or both . evga pretty much want I to replace everything else in my system , blame power , blame the processor , blame whatever ... quite simply , I would put my gtx 295 back in , reload the last driver set that work fine with this card , and everything be golden again . read as much about this card as you can before make this purchase . even on evga 's own forum people be grumble about the internal voltage in the card . evidently a tenth of a volt can make or break this turkey . seriously folk , people buy this sort of thing to have fun with play the latest game . do EVGA seriously think we want to play the game of `` troubleshoot a flaky card by swap out you entire system in the hope that the card itself be good , but need a exacting enviroment to operate properly '' ? sorry no , not I . that be just not fun for I . if it be to you , well go for it then . fortunately Amazon be great about take this turkey , er card , back off of my hand , otherwise I would have wind up with a $ 750 paperweight . sooner or later evga would have just stop send I replacement , and then where would I have be ? nice try , but FAIL , in my humble opinion . guess i 'll stick with my gtx295 a while longer . and when I do buy another video card , I be certainly go to buy it through Amazon so I have they at my back if this sort of thing happen again . +315 GraphicsCard POS 4 I have a outdated monitor and graphic card on my system . bought new lcd monitor and it would not work very well with old card .

Start to finish - this be my process . Start time - 9:30 be 1 . check device manager to see what type video I have -lrb- ok look at the back of my system would have tell I that it be onboard . -rrb- 2 . power down the system completely and unplug power . 3 . open pc , install card into pcie slot . 4 . close pc and put screw back in . 5 . plug power in and attach monitor to new card . 6 .

I avoid use any driver supply on cd or dvd anyway - have always find it much better to download the latest driver from card maker website and avoid headache . note : this card use the older agp slot , not the newer pci-e slot , so be sure you computer have a agp slot before order this card . +596 GraphicsCard POS 5 I be satisfy with this product so far . the performance be great , bf3 on ultra run great and I have not have any problem with other game as of yet .

Run 's 3d application great for the money . Games run on max setting with out any lagging or any artifacting . wait to save some money to get a second one and put it in SLI mode . have not have any issue so far with performance or display driver . my only con with this be the fan speed can be set to 75 % max . for those who be sensitive to noise once you raise the fan pass 50 % you can hear the fan but for I it do not bother I . I definitely recommend this car for those who be on a budge and yet want a powerful card . +5 GraphicsCard POS 5 just purchase this card , but so far it work great .

I have see other people overclock this thing to 950mhz and above . it run every game I have on ultra with framerate above and around 60 fp , include bf3 and crysis 2 -lrb- dx11 ultra package -rrb- . the only thing I would recommend to check be case clearance -lrb- this sucker be huge -rrb- and proper cooling and adequate power . it be a pretty good deal to get this at $ 300 and get the performance of a 570 or almost a 580 if you overclock it properly . even at stock setting this card be right behind the 570 and I could still play my game on the highest setting without issue . tl ; dr buy this card if you be look to upgrade ! +821 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have a nVidia Geforce 8600g -lrb- pcie x16 -rrb- with two 27 '' monitor -lrb- Dell and Samsung -rrb- .

I pop they in and add the three 19 '' monitor on the 8400 . they be slower for thing like re-sizing window and Netflix video playback , but since I be only use they as secondary monitor , it be fine . no compatibility issue as all video card be use the same geforce driver . +339 GraphicsCard POS 5 idle at 35c in my watercooled full tower with 6 600rpm 120mm fan besides the fan on the radiator .

I have before sapphire 6990 and while performance be better it be little too much heat and noise from that card so I sell it and get one 6970 from he and it be very good but I miss my 6990 performance ... not anymore !!!!! get it you will not regreat you decision . +539 GraphicsCard POS 5 I really need a new video card , but could not afford the higher end type . I just purchase `` Star Wars : The Old Republic '' and could not run it on my computer . all the review on this particular video card claim it would not run . this could not be more wrong . not only do I play the game with no problem , but at a high setting as well . +833 GraphicsCard POS 5 great card for the money !! go in easy and very quiet . as to the dirt3 retrieval and activation process , it be about the same degree of difficulty as find a honest politician . endless crapware to download and then login\/logout\/product id 's \/ unique id 's \/ coupon codes\/re-register\/go here\/go there - yadayada then have the process deadend in nowhereville . design to frustrate as many as possible .

I have everything ultra for sc2 and bf3 which run great . the only problem I encounter be the temperature , I read alot of review prior to my purchase , that mention this problem but I want something that be more future proof , so I decide to go for a high memory card . the card temperature stay at around 96 degree when I play bf3 and fan noise get loud at that point . I believe that the card be design to withstand higher temperature , however , I like to turn my evga precision on to check my card temp every time i play game . so i would suggest people who consider this card to go water cooling . p.s. when I buy this card it be sell out on like 5-6 major website that i go to , i be not sure if that be go to be the case in the future , but it might be something to do a research on if you think about SLI or buy one card at a time +85 GraphicsCard POS 5 you will not receive the game `` Deus ex '' package with this video card for at least 10 day . it have be advise to I by amazon customer service representative that if you want the free game before Amazon 's senseless 10 day wait policy , you should shop elsewhere . other store carry the same promo but send you the game immediately . I recommend follow the CSR 's advice . the card itself be great though , even if Amazon be not . it be very fast and run everything I throw at it with full speed . it come with a free copy of Dirt 3 -- in the box , so you get it at the same time as the video card . +281 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have a older Desktop that have xp , and this be a great graphic card that work perfectly for Windows xp . thank you VisionTek , this card save my computer ! this Graphics card install in 5 minute by follow the include instruction , and I have no prior knowlege about intall a Graphics Card . once properly insert , I install the disk software include for xp , and then restart the computer & Microsoft automatically update my driver !

I be new to the world of graphic card , have use the integrated graphic on my motherboard for the past three year -lrb- system spec below -rrb- . after install Vista Home Premium a few week ago my once pristine xp install turn into a slow-as - molasses almost unusable mess . but after tweaking with the help of user , the system boot to the desktop in less than thirty seconds , run m Office like lighten , and most internet site work well - except the one that be too heavy with ` craplet ' to begin with . however , my physical RAM and CPU usage be still too high . so after observe how cool , quietly , and efficiently the 520 card run on my friend 's computer , and also how much better the bogged-down website run - I decide to ditch the integrate motherboard video chipset for the 520 dedicated graphic card . when the card arrive and after I tweak it , -lrb- and sometimes this can take week - after all , one can not sit in front of one 's computer all day and night long , can they ? -rrb- I be sure it will work as well as I observe on my friend pc . perhaps the last reviewer be unhappy with he purchase because there be other thing -lrb- service , security system , auto-run etc. -rrb- slow down he computer 's overall response . also , from what I have learn this card be really not mean to run newer game - I suppose that be mean for the more expensive $ 150 and up model . I be not yet a pc gamer - I use the Playstation for that - and mainly want this card for take the load off of my physical RAM and CPU . so I be look forward to work with this card and see what will be the best performance I can wring out of it - and I will update this once I have do so . I be rating it at five star because I feel it do the job it be intend to do . Update 11\/19\/11 the evga 520 be work great . card 's temperature be cool by check it with techpowerup 's gpu-z app . will play basic game , but since I be not a hard-core gamer , more power be no problem . have a snafu though with some web site such as Yahoo News , ToyotaNation , Hearts of Space etc. win like molasses -- here the problem be my browser - ie7 . there be no support for that browser anymore , so to change from Microsoft , I switch to Google 's browser . that make all the difference . the browser be absolutely one of the most important app on you computer , and now with Chrome all site be run like a greased pig in lighten . so yes , very satisfied with this card , and of course , it help take the load off of my CPU and motherboard . spread the wealth around , I say . also , I see Amazon have raise its price for the dual dvi 520 by $ 20 over what I pay in October . . hmm .

LOL Marc +92 GraphicsCard POS 4 this really be a amazing video card that deliver what it promise - just do not let the expectation of rebate money influence you buying decision ! other reviewer allude to problem get rebate from Sapphire , and that have be my experience as well . be aware that if you make a mistake on you rebate form and be deny , in most case , there be no appeal process - one strike , you out ! I take away one star on my rating for my lose rebate ... -lrb- 18 buck ... I have plan for that money ! -rrb- +497 GraphicsCard POS 5 I purchase this card for my old pc . I need to be able to output the pc video signal to my plasma tv , and this card do the trick really well . I particularly like all additional setting that allow you to squeeze out every single bit of usable pixel information on you tv screen - resolution , stretch , color depth , position adjustment , etc. . installation be very smooth and as easy as 1-2-3 . overall , it be a really nice product I be very happy with , I would definitely recommend it to anyone . +377 GraphicsCard POS 5 my Dell computer -lrb- which I buy in 2003 -rrb- begin have issue . specifically there be green line all over the monitor which make it impossible to go online or use the computer for that matter . I bring it in to the Geek Squad at my local best buy and he pull out the video card and tell I it be burn out and I need to replace it . I be not a computer person but I ask he to show I how to replace the card -lrb- it be very easy -rrb- . I order this video card from amazon b\/c it be economical -lrb- cheap -rrb- . I use my computer to check email , surf the net , download pic , etc. . . nothing too fancy . I do not play video game that apparently require a much more expensive video card . in any case , I put the card in , turn the computer on and voilum ... good as new . all for $ 45 ! I be prepare to spend $ 2,000 on a new computer so needless to say I be thrill that this inexpensive fix get we back online . the picture be better than new since technology have come a long way since 2003 . I hope this be helpful information to someone out there like I have a similar issue . good Luck ! +221 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be a monster of a card for the price compare from the stander 570 by Vega that come stock with roughly 1.2 g of gddr 5 ram . for 50 dollar more you can get this edition come stock at about 2.5 gig of gddr5 ram double the original ram . the processor speed be relatively close to the Geforce GTX 580 with a slightly lower texture filter rate then the Geforce GTX 580 but with the cost of the 580 be around 600 $ + or the insane Geforce GTX 590 sit around 800 - 1000 $ all in all this be a very competitive card for the price . this card will be able to play to play the most current generation benchmark game right now like bf3 with vary high setting if not max -lrb- dependent upon the component in you pc -rrb- . this be a top of the line card with out the overwhelming price for the moderate to high end pc gaming enthusiast and i highly recommend it . i may give more detailed info on the card run temp and power consumption in the future as i see fit . if i do not update this review then i dont see any reasone to warn you about either of these concern issue p you go to be look for roughly a 600 watt psu -lrb- aka power supply -rrb- -lrb- it ask for a 550 watt but you might want the extra leeway -rrb- capable of put out 38 amp encase you wonder of the kind of power you will need and it require 2 6 pin power addapter -lrb- plea do not get mad for the most likely know knowledge . i be im only say this because the geforce 580 require a 8 pin adapter with a 6 pin and the 590 2 8 pin adapter and a 6 pin finally Nvida spec chart on the geforce 570 , 580 , and 590 if you intrest -lrb- ... -rrb- -lrb- ... -rrb- -lrb- ... -rrb- sorry apparently link do not show up if you want to see the comparison you will just have to go the the Nvida main site www.Nvidia.com if you really intrest you could find power consumption comparison chart online somewhere hope this help +337 GraphicsCard NEG 2 I buy this to upgrade a older computer that have no graphic slot , so that I could use a wide-screen monitor that the integrate graphic could not support . it work well for that to some extent ; the option be good , the image be great . however , it be very slow , I think actually this be a limitation of the PCI slot . however , the thing that be the most aggravating be that it frequently blank out entirely , leave you with a black screen . it will usually return after a few seconds , but most web page will not return completely , until you mouse-over all the element . the easiest way to get the screen back be to switch window , and then switch back . this become very irritating after a few time , and you be leave sit wait for it to decide to refresh . I do not know whether there be any way to satisfactorily upgrade you graphic if all you have be a PCI slot , but bite the bullet and get a new pc be preferable to this . +733 GraphicsCard NEU 3 good , reliable card for a mainstream user . installation be a breeze and driver update be readily available from Nvidea . since there be not a fan on the card , -lrb- though one can be add -rrb- it do not add any noise . I do not find though that it could handle cfs3 at anything close to a decent frame rate unless I turn everything down include the resolution . but if you do not play game , and be just try to keep you aging agp system run , its a great card . guess i expect a lot more since it be replace a 8 year old mx440 . +33 GraphicsCard NEU 3 as a single card , this be excellent , it run cool and quiet , and the shader CAN be unlock to the level of a 6970 . it also have a bio switch which be handy and make unlock the shader a much safer process . after run a few benchmark and feeling pretty happy about the single card purchase , I install the second -lrb- matching -rrb- 6950 Dirt 3 edition , and this be where the fun begin . there be a issue with slus and crossfire configuration know as microstuttering . if you be not familiar with it , please google it and check it out . there be a excellent article on tomshardware about it , where they show you some very interesting graph explain what microstuttering be and what cause it , and also how certain card be more prone to the issue than other . before you plan on run these card in crossfire , please do a little research and decide if you thing this be something you can deal with . -lrb- ... -rrb- I be vaguely aware of the issue , but have not ever do any research on it . after install each card into the two x16 pci-e slot on my motherboard , I boot up and start run benchmark . it turn out , these card scale very well , and in unigine and 3dmark11 I be see about a 70-80 % increase in framerate . however , this be where I start to notice the stuttering that take place , and although you may be get framerate of 60 or 80 fp , it be not a smooth and fluid experience at all . benchmark tool be one thing , but I do not think any of we buy these card to hang out and watch benchmarking test and demo . so I start test this out with game . First off , my favorite game be Starcraft 2 . if you carefully watch you unit move in this game , you can see the microstuttering . you can also see it in the begin intro where the spaceship fly past the planet . I attempt turn vsync on , enable triple buffering , restore the shader to stock , disable the overclock on the card , disable the overclock on my CPU , everything that forum suggest , and nothing seem to have a affect . to make sure that it be not a issue with a single card , I completely remove one of the 6950 's from my system . this solve the issue immediately . the next game I check out be Deus ex human evolution , which be one of the AMD flagship game . microstutter be MUCH worse in Deus ex . turn on vsync help quite a but but completely kill the framerate , make it a much choppier experience . with vsync disabled , you get awesome framerate , but terrible screen tear and of course significant microstuttering . at the end of the tom 's hardware article , they recommend spend you cash on a single fast card over two in SLI or crossfire because of this issue . I tend to agree with they . I purchase these card to replace a single gtx480 , and because the performance of one of these card be comparable to the gtx480 , it be not worth keep one of they . I be go to keep they for weekend , and if I be unable to resolve the microstuttering issue , I will be return both of they . it be true that you get awesome fp from these two card , but to I that be useless if gaming be not a smooth and fluid experience . I personally would rather have one great card run with less fp that deal with extremely high framerate with constant microstuttering . by the way , if anyone reading this review have any idea for I , please let I know , I really want this configuration to work . detail for my machine be list below : Proc : Phenom II x6 1090t @ 3.8 GHz Mobo : Asus Crosshair iv Formula RAM : 16 gb G-Skill Sniper ddr3 1600 Video : 2X Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 2GB SSD : Wester Digital 128 GB HDD : Seagate 1 tb PSU : Cooler Master Silent pro 850 fan : Cooler Master Hyper 212 + case : Antec DF-35 +196 GraphicsCard POS 5 if you be still stick on a agp system this be the best card you can get , be very good for a less than $ 100 . y usualy use to think that any card around $ 100 be bad and cheap , but this prove I wrong . I can even play Assassin 's creed with full graphic on 1280x1024 and dx10 with my old agp , p4 3.4 ht and 3gb ram computer . pro : great value , good performance , can be oce . con : maybe its too big to for any computer , but I manage to get into my case . final thought : if you need a agp card dont look for more , buy this one . +353 GraphicsCard NEU 3 give a 3-star rating as I be fairly certain I just have\/had really bad luck . 1st card would gray - or vertical lines-screen at random , usually at idle , but sometimes under load , regardless of driver , clock setting , bio switch position , even in another computer . I contact Amazon for a replacement , and they cross-ship I one STRAIGHT away . however , the second one not only have the exact same issue , but it be cap\/choke whine be 10x worse than the 1st card . so , 2 bad card in ... no more . return . now , let I clarify\/go over a couple thing . 1st of all I would like to make note of how great Amazon 's customer service have be . it be unfortunate they 'll soon be force to charge sale tax in my -lrb- and other ' -rrb- state -lrb- s -rrb- , as I now would choose Amazon over newegg , any day . do not get I wrong , Newegg be great still , but Amazon 's really take the cake in my book . even with the problem , they have earn a loyal customer . even if there be a minute price premium here , I may still choose Amazon . secondly , I be not the only 7970 buyer that be have this same issue\/type of issue . I know of several other on at least 1 tech forum , overclock.net , that have have the same or similar issue , with other brand 7970 . it appear the issue may be bio -lrb- firmware -rrb- related , or Voltage Regulator related . I do not know the exact cause , but I really do not blame Amazon , AMD , or Sapphire directly for this . while I will probably get a 670 or 680 from the competitor -lrb- 1 or 2 specific application optimization -rrb- , please do not let this deter you from get this card . I honestly believe I just have poor luck , and as the 7970s drop in price , they be get a better and better deal . thus , I give it a mid-point 3 star . I have issue , twice over , but Amazon 's make I right , and I honestly believe I stumble upon a statistical improbability . these card OC well , perform incredibly well for the price point , etc. . +62 GraphicsCard POS 5 I just finish building my new computer . I install the hd7950 and now I be able to play all video game with everything max out at 1920x1080 . my frames-per-second -lrb- fp -rrb- rate be always greater than 30fp . I cant wait to buy another hd7950 for CrossFire . the graphic card be also extremely quiet . +723 GraphicsCard NEG 1 idk if its driver issue or problem with the video card ... install latest driver for Windows 7 64bit , so far game work fine , video playback via HDMI port doesnt work well for I . have get like 5 bsod today already . it start play video fine , as soon as I touch the pc while do video playback , video will screw up , mouse cursor also , all text rendering go weird in my pc screen , and then bsod . try video playback without HDMI and so far seem ok , so I would think its either a bad hdmus port or driver issue . anyway ... very dissapointed of the card , video playback be a big must for I , that be why I be look for a HDMI part videocard . Edited : after hour of troubleshooting , it turn out to be the bad driver atti\/amd have -lrb- go figure ... what a shocking news ... -rrb- . reinstall Catalyst 12.3 driver , which be the one give I the video playback issue . use drive sweep , go to 12.2 , same thing . uninstalled driver and use the VGA driver from Windows and video didnt fail , so at least I have a good hint that it could be driver . go to Catalyst 12.1 driver , and be play video for 2 hour without issue -lrb- issue would present randonmly , even after 2 min playback or as much as 40min without issue -rrb- . so conclusion , ATTI still make great hardware and the worst driver you could ever imagine . I be just glad it be not a hardware issue , or at least so far nothing \* cross finger \* . but I think im feed up with AMD . after my first and last AMD laptop turn out to be a lemon -lrb- ton of issue , reinstall Windows like 5 time in less than a month -rrb- , and this with the video card ... I think im back to Intel\/Nvidia for life . +828 GraphicsCard POS 5 THIS PRODUCT arrive on time . SORTA . UPS LEFT IT with the neighbor . not good but I catch it as it happen . video card run like a dream . game on . speed speed speed . +391 GraphicsCard NEG 2 after install the driver , I be greet with blank screen . 2-star because I be able to uninstall the driver fairly easily use the supply cd after enter safe mode -lrb- win 7 -rrb- : when the software detect install driver , it ask you if you want to uninstall automatically . return and buy this plugable usb 2.0 uga dl 195 chipset . the latter work without I have to do anything . just plug and 3 monitor on a laptop with a dock station . +393 GraphicsCard POS 5 upgrade from a msus atus amd 4870x2 . . have this card for almost four year and now just upgrade to this gtx 590 . the 590 card run hot but a lot queiter and cooler than the 4870x2 . i notice a big difference like smoother and faster framerate and i think i might need to play it on a good quality 30 inch monitor vs. a 24 inch im play on cuz just seem to be a boottle neck . first time upgrade to geforce family and pretty happy with it so far . spec : i7 2600k 7.8 corsair vegeance 7.9 graphic card 590 7.9 ssd intel 160gb disk 7.6 use coolermaster centurion case power by corsair ax850 supply , asus mb z68 deluxe , coolermaster hyper 212 cpu cooler LOVING my new upgrade so far !!! +640 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I get the card in Oct. , 2010 . I do not see the fine print that say to register it to get two year support . recently I start get BSOD -lrb- Blue screen of death -rrb- . in other word , my computer stop and i have to reboot and lose whatever i be work on . this continue for two week . I try uninstall and reinstall driver and software . finally , i disabled the video card . no more bsod . so it be a bad memory on the card . I wish I have register it . that would have mean it be cover now -lrb- for 2 year -rrb- . if you get this card register it . however , I would not recommend that you buy this card . it only last 18 month ! and then cause I no end in grief figure out that the video card be cause my problem and not something else ! +709 GraphicsCard POS 4 it run very cool and you 'll get great performance . the problem I have have be the driver be buggy . when i first get it the screen want to flicker for random reason . here be some example of the bug . 1 : when try to watch Netflix , it would flicker about every 15 seconds \* 2 : I have a window theme that change to a new background every few minute , well every time the background change the screen flicker . \* 3 : I play swtor and the player portrait next to character will almost always show up as random color and static instead of the picture that they be suppose to be . 4 : if you be use a hd tv and you want to set a custom resolution , to bad , ATI do not support this and the fact be hide in they forum . those be all thing that I know be issue with the card , I be sure I 'll find more . \* that be say the first two issue list have stop since a recent update to the driver and atus catalyst software . these may sound like minor thing but the Nvidia 9600 GSO 800mb edition that I use to have do not have any of these issue and it be ancient . I be go to update this if I have more issue , I have be get random choppiness in some game but I be not sure if it be the game or the card yet . +428 GraphicsCard POS 4 great product , it work but it have some small glitch with xp home edition . nothing major . also note I be use this with a kvm switch connect to 2 other computer and occationally a third becasu I repair pc for a living . it work fine with the KVM switch . anything that I want to watch on the firsst pc I place on the second screen amd go about my business on the other KVM would pc . I would recommend this product . can not wait to use it on a Windows 7 box . +27 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have own two of these monster since July and they be absolute beast . they ability to overclock be incredible and they low power consumption be a plus in flexibility to that . I have always be impress with evga 's customer service . just be sure to register you card upon purchase ! +125 GraphicsCard NEU 3 graphic be nice , but hang system when go to webpage with flash . try all driver available . win7 do not like this card for some reason . work great with Vista . +865 GraphicsCard POS 4 highly efficient card for air cooling on stock voltage . they be not the best card for run max out under water . I run water so I do not really like this card , even though it have much prowess under air . +127 GraphicsCard POS 5 for the price , I be very happy with this video card . Video card seem to be a item that I often neglect because I can see the display just fine , but when you start have 50 + window open and you have multiple display , all of a sudden , a robust video card become far more important . this card be nice , please to look at -lrb- yes , I know it be in a case -rrb- and work very well . score a easy 7.9 on WEI and absolutely crushed my ATI 5750 -lrb- which work fine -rrb- with perfmark . +633 GraphicsCard NEG 1 for some reason , I just could not get this to work even after try two of these card and follow all the instruction to the t. I end up get the Gigabyte nVidia GeForce 210 1 gb ddr3 vga\/dvi\/hdmi pci-express Video Card gv-n210d3-1gus . that card work flawlessly and all I do be take the old card out and stick that one in and reboot . +427 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card work like a champ . I have have this card for about 6 month now and still no issue . the screen not fitting my monitor at first during the initial setup but I find the setting in the software that be include . full 1080p baby ! +788 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have no issue unlock to the 6970 bio . this card have a switch to select which bio you want to use . you do not need to flash the bio on the card . you do need to completely remove all amd\/ati graphic driver before move the switch to 6970 , then re-install the driver clean . card run cool 99f to 104f idle , to 152f under severe load and overclock . I be use Sapphire TriXX to OC to 880 and 1375 -lrb- stable and cool -rrb- and it moderately raise the temperature and fan speed . I easily push it to 900\/1400 -lrb- stable but higher temp -rrb- with a voltage increase . I be extremely happy with this purchase . +708 GraphicsCard POS 5 tengo ya 2 semanas de estar usando mi configuracion crossfirex hd6870 sapphire , pero he tenido mucho problema con lo driver , la pc se congela constantemente indiferentemente el juego que este usando , espero encontrar una version de driver que solucionen esto problema , pero a nivel de hardware , las graficas , son muy silenciosa para para estar en crossfirex y cuando esta al 100 % de su capacidad , siguen siendo aun mas silenciosas que mi antigua radeon hd 3870 , las temperaturas no sobrepasan lo 75 C. usandola individualemente son muy buenas recomendadas , pero para los que quieran hacer un crossfirex que se prepara para unos dolorcitos de cabeza con problemas de estabilidad , pero el rendimiento lo vale , en general el rendimiento e superior a una solo Radeon HD 6970 y en algunos casos el rendimiento es igual al de una Radeon HD 6990 o Nvidia GTX 580 de $ 600 . +775 GraphicsCard POS 5 my aging Radeon 4850 be begin to go bad , so I have to start look for a replacement . after a lot of research I settle on this Sapphire Radeon 6870 . the card offer about double the processing power of the old 4850 , and run significantly cooler as well . installation be quite simple , although you would better make sure you be case have room for a double-slot card require two six-pin power connector . it be not a huge card , but it be not small either , so check the spec and you available space before you buy . I have to move a hard drive out of the way to make room for the card , but otherwise it go in without a problem . Performance have be excellent . the more powerful architecture be able to handle the same 1920x1080 resolution the 4850 do , but now I can run full anti-aliasing and anisotropic filter with nary a stutter . the 6870 also run much cooler than the old reference 4850 , with idle temperature around 100 degree -lrb- f -rrb- -lrb- 40 c -rrb- and 160 degree -lrb- f -rrb- -lrb- 70 c -rrb- under load . fan noise level seem pretty quiet too . good performance and cool run make this a very good choice . plus the price be right , especially with the rebate promotion available . I also receive the Dirt 3 edition , and be able to download a free copy of the game with the purchase of the card , a nice bonus . +655 GraphicsCard POS 5 I upgrade from a 570 to the 7970 when it be release think it would match the 680 's performance and I would not have to wait 3-4 month for Kepler . after the review and the cheaper price tag , I swap my 7970 for this 680 . great decision . I have it clock at ~ 1280mhz -lrb- my 7970 clock to about the same -rrb- , and the difference during benchmark be noticeable . it be less expensive , more power-efficient , and faster than the 7970 , and Nvidia have superior driver to ati\/amd . if you be spend $ 400-600 on a graphic card , this can not be beat ! Games and benchmark crash semi-frequently with my 7970 , but the 680 have be much more stable so far . also , I have have coil whine with both the 7970 and the 680 ; the coil whine on the 680 be about half as loud . +559 GraphicsCard NEG 2 I decide to make slight upgrade to my 5-year-old gaming computer . the first item be a better graphic card that support DiretX 11 . this card be crap for gaming , unless you be play a 5-6 year old single-player game . I try to play Spec Ops : The Line , after 2 minute I have to stop due to the terrible lag and eye strain . wow turn out to be even worse . I even try play Mount & Blade ... mediocre at best . save you gift card and just buy more RAM IMO . +129 GraphicsCard POS 5 I upgrade to this card from a gtx 280 . I be very happy with the performance of this card out of the box . run every game at 1920x1200 with ultra setting and this thing take it without hesitation . for the people hesitate buy this due to review about driver issue . I do have driver issue where none would recognize the install GPU . the CD that come with the card do have driver 285.66 on it , and that work fine . however when download driver from nvidium 's website , i would get the `` no gpu detect '' that everyone do talk about . simple fix : go to the manufacturer website and download the newest bio update . I do this , and now , every driver on nvidium 's site work like a champ . it be not a GPU issue , just reflash you bio and you good to go . +209 GraphicsCard POS 5 just get this card in the mail last night . I have my hd 5850 Overclocked to 900Mhz and i still could only play bf3 at medium to low setting with a average of 20-40fp . this card right out of the box hold 60 + fp on Ultra setting with 4x msaa at 1080p on my 42 '' 120hrz hdtv -lrb- my monitor -rrb- . I overclock it to 1.3 Ghz in less than 20minute with no previous know how of precision X. memory at 3.5 Ghz as well . you must set a custom fan profile if you want the card to stay under 70c -lrb- which it must or the card will throttle its self and you will loose you GPU boost preset -rrb- . mine average 65-68c with 85 % fan . it blow hot air out the back like a space heater but its a cool run card compare to gtx 580\/590 ect . its a bit loud compare to my system that run nearly silent . my rig a half 922 with Intel i2600k at 5ghz . with overclock i get 85-130fp in bf3 . amazing card . I have order a ASUS 7970 direct CU II TOP previously that be DOA ! this be before the gtx 680 be release . im glad that card be DOA actually because this card be amazing . I also can honestly say the driver for this card be next to non . I know every one say that AMD driver be not that great but im here to personally say that they be far inferior compare to Nvidia ... sad because i love AMD and just upgrade from a CRosshair Formula 4 \/ Phenom x6 1090t that now sit on my shelf along with my AMD video card . im off track but my old rig be good BUTTT my new rig smoke my old one hand down and be worth the $ and then some . great card and i recomend it to any one who have that cash . I be think i might have to slus this card with another gtx 680 but this card overclock so well i wont have to in the near or far future . without a overclock it still tear whole through ULTRA set on all game . cheer and let the head shot begin ! +18 GraphicsCard NEG 1 this card give I nothing but issue and now I can not even return it ... do not buy it ... I also be concern that item like this be not returnable +639 GraphicsCard POS 5 go on a month since i buy this graphic card and im really just enjoy myself , have the time of my life . definitely one of the best investment i have put into my pc . +486 GraphicsCard POS 5 very happy with this , very quick , picture quality just fantastic . installation of driver be a breeze . would highly recommend for gamer , as a mid range option . +774 GraphicsCard POS 5 I do not know if I can add much more info to a product that be already be review so much , except to say that I be happy with my card which run cool and quiet , even under the heaviest load and overclocked . I have not try overvolt it though it be voltage-unlocked . no need ... it be already so fast ! Edit : someone ask I for what kind of clock I could get and if there be coil whine . 1 . at 1.049 v -lrb- default volt -rrb- , I can get ~ 1.1 ghz on core . 2 . at max load , I do not get any appreciable coil whine . if there be coil whine , it be not hearable over my case fan . +366 GraphicsCard POS 4 the gtx 590 be suppose to be the fastest thing on the market . I have find that it seem to be a good card but install and set up be a not plug and play . you can not run duel monitor and the support site be difficult to navigate if you be a novice as I be . +648 GraphicsCard POS 4 pc be a ancient Dell Dimension 3000 with a 2.4 Celeron run xp sp2 , 32 bit - slow , I know , a dinosaur in 2012 . but you know what ? it be extremely stable , run my app - in fact -lrb- knock on wood -rrb- , this be one of the most stable system I have ever own ... it just a reliable workhorse for the year I have own it , and there be something to be say for that . I be the opposite of the early adapter . not a gamer , but I do use a older version of Adobe Premier for video editing , along with a old version of Photoshop and some other `` not the latest and greatest '' but still powerful and stable graphic\/media app . Thought a new graphic card would help improve video playback esp . preview in Premier , which be choppy -lrb- but I learn to live with it -rrb- at higher re . bottom line if you be consider this card : 1 . it work on my pc with 250 stock power supply , no problem -lrb- thus far -rrb- although the card spec specify a minimum of 300W . ymmv . 2 . my Dell be incapable of play any 3d game at all . it be capable now with full hardware acceleration . 3 . there be a definite improvement with video playback . 4 . install be a snap , however , you must disable the on-board graphic in Windows system\/hardware before power down prior to card installation . and you must select PCI card in the display graphic selection in you bio when you reboot -lrb- hit f2 repeatedly as Windows be boot to access bio -rrb- if you bio version do not have autodetect . the Dell Dimension do have autodetect so this step be not necessary for I . 5 . although tech support be fast , excellent , courteous , and us-based , they be unable to fix a issue I have -lrb- see below -rrb- . no point off ... among the best customer service for a inexpensive consumer-level component . after install everything seem to work . there be a definitely a improvement in video playback as I would hope . however , when I boot up Adobe Premier there be horizontal dash all over the interface to the degree that the app would have be unusable . -lrb- this also occur with a old game I install on the system -rrb- . all other app be fine . searching the net , I do read a couple other post where this be occur with this card with Premier . Tech support at pny try everything and spend considerable time with I - to no avail . I be about to uninstall the card and return it ... and be disappointed because my old Betsy of a pc be perform markedly better with this new graphic card . in a last ditch effort to correct these vertical dash I go into control panel - -rrb- setting - -rrb- advance - -rrb- troubleshoot . there I find a slider for hardware acceleration and move it to the middle which disable all DirectDraw and 3D hardware acceleration . that do the trick for Premier -lrb- and that old video game -rrb- . fix . so if you be have this issue run Premier -lrb- and I imagine after effect would also have this issue ... -rrb- there be you solution . unfortunately , on the Dell Dimension , this set disable the ability to play 3d game completely . so , I create a desktop icon to get I to the Windows Display setting . I leave full hardware acceleration enable by default , and I turn off hardware acceleration when work in Premier . the only other caveat be that the horizontal dash rear they ugly head `` a little '' during some sequence when I be test a old 3d space shooter , freespace , which need full 3d acceleration as it be a 3d game . but it be not too bad and only happen during more intensive scene - a minor quibble . -lrb- system would not run this - or any 3d game before install this card ... -rrb- this be a lot of card for the money , and I be glad I purchase it . do what I want it to do . glad I be able to find a work around for the horizontal dash problem use Adobe Premier . +883 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I buy this unit from another store , new in box . day 1 be fine after I download new driver , the first one would not keep the resolution right . the second set of driver would keep the resolution correct just push everything off of that monitor when it go into screen saver mode ... icon , window , task bar , everything . after 2 day of use it do not work on the 3rd day . it be be return for another brand . +345 GraphicsCard POS 4 I have always use AMD because of the lower power consumption and know my way around they driver very well . I buy this for a new build I just do , but the card be extremely unstable under it be stock configuration with the most recent driver , even before I even attempt overclocking . build quality be excellent and temp be really low , perhaps lower than any of they card I have use before , but even when not overclock on the stock bio all I have be issue like artifact , and black screen . test it in another computer and it have the same issue . just for kick I try to unlock the shader as well , but it look like they have be laser off of the newer batch . it be unfortunate that I get a bad card , but I have decide to go with the xfx hd7970 instead and hope that it live up to the hype . I be sure that most of these card work just fine , mine probably have some bad vram . accord to many review this card when work can play pretty much any game on highest setting with a decent frame-rate , when overclock it be suppose to do very well . I be get a average of 90fp in Starcraft II on highest setting at 1920x1080 when slightly overclock , and when use 2560x1440 resolution I be get on average 60fp as well , again slightly overclock . I do not get to try it with any other game because it just crap out on I on the first day . honestly this card be great for most gamer except maybe the hardcore enthusiast , just stress test yours and make sure it be work properly . +439 GraphicsCard NEU 3 pro : good price . Easy to install . Works fine . con : the fan on it be a bit loud . it be not as powerful as I have hope . I get this card specifically for Diablo 3 . with my old card , all of the setting have to be on low . with this one , all of the setting be able to be on medium . but , alas , I be hope to be able to put they all on high . I guess I would need to spend a little more money for that -lrb- you get what you pay for -rrb- . +16 GraphicsCard POS 5 most ubuntu user switch from Windows a long time ago . my son who love to watch you Tube decimate three new Seagate hardrive before realize the extensive damage that can be do by virus and spyware run under a Windows xp platform . in the last three year since switch to ubuntu , he have only have one crash which merely wipe out he Open Office suite which be now not support by ubuntu . everthing else work with the exception of the Open Office suite . when the newest ubuntu release 11.04 come out , I imagine that it would be a upgrade that solve all the old problem . however , with the improvement and newer program and feature come additional hardware requirement , in my particular situation , a video card upgrade . try to run ubuntu 11.04 or even 10.4 with any less than 256mb of video memory bring forth either a error message that you input be not support or worst yet that you screen load up only to find that it be fill with green and red vertical line on the desktop . in addition , when you attempt to move you mouse , you end up with quarter inch wide mouse trail . those who have have this unpleasant experience will know what I be talk about . anyhow , ubuntu support recommend video ram no less than 256mb . I buy this 512mb card instead hope that more be both safer and better . I install this card in five minute and astonishingly my son 's computer come back to life in glorious and magnificent color . it be a wonderful sight to behold . Everything work and run well . Ubuntu user , wake up and take note that a ATI 8mb video card will not cut it . also note that this 512mb card have a Nvidia chip which be highly recommend by ubuntu support . thanks again to Jesse for you helpful comment & recommend this 512mb video card . +917 GraphicsCard NEU 3 I be excite to upgrade from my 4850 and purchase this card as a replacement . never have any issue with the 4850 , but this card have issue within 10 minute after startup . initially everything be fine , then I launch bf3 , which run beautifully on the highest setting for few minute before suddenly freezing . from then on , the thing would not work correctly . even just use desktop app or watch video , it would start to glitch out . big green line appear , or the screen be suddenly offset , or it just constantly flicker . sometimes it would be normal for a while , then suddenly start bug out and would require a restart . I have make sure to remove my old driver before install the new card , check temp on card and voltage and everything appear normal . contact sapphire support who be no help at all . open a ticket on they website , where the only reply I get be `` try playing another game ? '' when I respond to the tech and explain that I could not even use desktop app so even try a game be not go to happen , he tell I to make a rma request then close the ticket . well I return the first card to Amazon who be awesome enough to send I a replacement card overnight . however , when I put the replacement in , I encounter issue even faster than I do with the first . wipe the driver , reinstall , and even upgrade my motherboard bio and finally I think I have fix it . System be stable for a full day of work . until finally that night I try to play Skyrim and the same issue start happen again , and now they wont go away . so , I guess I 'll be return this one too . my spec : Asus M5A99X Evo Mobo 16gb ddr3 1333 700W PSU I think maybe my power supply be inadequate , but I use this tool to calculate what should be need by my system : -lrb- ... -rrb- accord to that , I only need 600w . even still , I try disconnect component like my dvdrw and sound card , but it make no difference . I 'll probably just return this one and give another brand a try , Sapphire support be pretty useless . UPDATE : give it a 3rd chance and finally get a usable card . have I get a work card the first time around , this would have earn a 5-star review . I have now be use it without any issue for about a month , and this card be awesome . I be give it 3 star though because of the fact that it take so many try to get a work card . +408 GraphicsCard POS 5 I just want to say that I do alot of shop around for AGP card . and this one toke the cake . people be always complain about driver , and blue screen . I order this video card one afternoon , recieve it the next . Amazon beat newegg hand down on shipping , when I get the card it be not as huge as everyone keep say , but it be not a small card . plug it in , install the driver -lrb- very easy download from Sapphire -rrb- and voilum , it work like a charm . every game i have try be max out , no lag , over 100fp . mmo like Guild war and WOW be a little less , around 50 fp , but that be server , not this card . if you be look for a great , fast card to keep that agp system kick , this be it . do not let stupid people fool you with driver problem , just make sure you have a big enough PSU and 2 extra 4-pin plug , and you be set . this be the greatest investment for those age machine to keep up with the game of now Pentium 4 3.3 GHZ 1024 MB PC3200 RAM 500GB 7200RPM HDD ATI RADEON 3850HD AGP +75 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have a Zotac gtx 680 reference card before which would not overclock no matter what I do , I sell that card to buy a gtx 690 but come to my sens and decide I dont game enough to justify 1000 dollar on a video card . so I serach reveiw look for best gtx 670\/680 again which would be good overclocker and this one fit the bill perfectly . I would get ASUS gtx 680 dc2 but stock on those be even worse than this card , plus its a three slot design versus this which be only a two slot a plus in my book . so the performance with boost of this card be slightly faster than reference gtx 680 in game but gtx 680 score a bit higher on 3dmarks11 at least in my case . but real world performace be identical . even compare a gtx 670 overclocked to a gtx 680 overclocked performace be always very close that why I didnt mind my `` downgrade '' from gtx 680 to gtx 670 . all in all this be best gtx 670 ATM , if you get a stable one . now go on buy one . +25 GraphicsCard POS 5 so here 's my story . . I recently purchase a 27 '' HP IPS monitor -lrb- zr 2740w -rrb- that have 2560x1440 native resolution -lrb- which be fantastic btw -rrb- primarily for photo editing . I previously have a 1080p monitor , but I have to zoom in too much to deal with my rather large image from my Sony 24mp slr camera . the gt 240 video card in my Dell XPS 8000 computer drive the new monitor ok , but struggle quite a bit try to run any game -lrb- crysis -rrb- at native resolution -lrb- or even 1080p -rrb- . so I decide to look for a new card that would 1 -rrb- fit inside my Dell 2 -rrb- play game at 1440p . I research online extensively , and initially choose a gtx 560 ti card . but I discover read various forum that this card would not drive 1440p very well . I then be lean towards a Radeon 7950 or 7970 , but the dimension of those card would be extremely tight in my case . so that lead I to the gtx 670 . most site recommend the 670 ftw edition from EVGA , so that be what I order . the card arrive quickly -lrb- thanks Amazon Prime -rrb- , and I install the card along with a new Corsair 800w power supply . it be a tight fit for sure , and I have to move my hard drive to a different bay to make it work . the card be at least a inch longer than the gt 240 that be in it before . besides the tight fit , installation be fairly easy , and load the driver be painless . once I get my pc run , and loaded Crysis to test it . wow . Pretty damn cool . the gt 240 give I choppy frame rate at 1080p -lrb- medium -rrb- . the gtx 670 give I super smooth gameplay at 1440p -lrb- high setting -rrb- . I can not tell you how good a game look in 1440p , but it definitely make I feel better about drop money for my new monitor . then about 15 minute into the game , my computer get white ` spot ' all over the screen and freeze . WTH ? I have to do a cold reboot . later on , I run the ` OC Scanner ' utility to run some benchmark test , and again my computer freeze . in total , my system freeze 5 time in 2 day , and I be start to get frustrated drop over $ 400 for video card that freeze my very reliable computer . I read more forum online , and discover that several people have have this issue with the 600-series card . I start regret my purchase , but keep research online for solution or ` fix ' . so far I have uninstall the Nvidia hd audio and 3d driver , enable software control on the fan in precision x utility -lrb- its not enable by default -rrb- , and set the fan curve more aggresively . I do not know if this permanently will prevent freeze up , but I do manage to play Crysis for almost 3 hour yesterday without issue , so hopefully this work long term . if it do , than this card be absolutely fantastic , and I could not ask for more graphically speak . if i continue have issue with the card , than the card be not worth the headache . I 'll give it a 5-star rating -lrb- base purely on performance -rrb- for now , and update the rating if the issue continue . Hope this help ! +192 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card really be a monster . it give I much better performance then my old 4870x2 do for less heat and less watt pull . the dual-x cooling design help keep the card a mild 30c idle and a maximum 54c under load in Saints Row 2\/3 . if you be go to be overclock this beware for the time be , AMD 's driver be not optimize yet and you run the risk of blue screening or just have the game freeze period . I oc ` ed it to 1ghz gpu clock and it freeze 8 minute into mu sr3 test . this combine with a i7-3930k be more then strong enough to play even the most demand game , emulate game like tale of Symphonia w \/ lle or Zone of the Enders , without much hassle . +725 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have a HP DC5100 SFF PC I pick up surplus from the state of CA . this be a very stable and inexpensive business computer run a solo Pentium 4 HT 3.0 with 4gb ddr2 pc3200 -lrb- 400mz -rrb- Windows xp pro . I be look for a -lrb- pcus -rrb- silent , low profile video card so my daughter could play sims3 , Golden Compass and HALO combat evolve . -lrb- ok HALO be for I ... -rrb- . read spec on the card I be concern about the factory power supply of 240 watt . I run the power supply tool from Thermaltake and find the power supply to be just at the limit . Make sure and go into hardware manager and disable the mobo onboard video . this card meet expectation and keep I on budget + \/ - -lrb- $ 50.00 -rrb- . little choppy on high setting but run efforttlessly on medium . honestly I could not tell the difference . no heat issue as the factory HP DC5100 have three cool fan . I have have this card install for about a month and be very happy . I run two Viewsonic vx 924 monitor on extended desktop , work perfect . I use driver on supply SPARKLE disk . dvd playback look beautiful . very happy , thanks , sparkle , good product . would buy again ! +969 GraphicsCard POS 5 I be build a gaming computer , and previously have investigate about what video card be the best option this day . for people who dont want video issue when you be play , please before you buy anything , research about video card , or ask people who might know , because this gtx670 be incredible expensive . God forbid I have to buy somehting like that again . Hope the one I buy dont burn . +293 GraphicsCard POS 4 after research many card in this price class -lrb- spring 2012 -rrb- I settle on this card . the combination of more core and more RAM mean I can get a few more fp with this card vs. similar price card . there be plenty of technical review that I see when research , so just google the card . the evga software let you control voltage and core speed and monitor fan in a user friendly app . the only surprise that I have be that it could only run 2 monitor at a time , so even if I have 3 monitor plug into the card , it only run 2 of they at a time . similar price and performance atus card generally can run 3 monitor off 1 card . +222 GraphicsCard POS 5 my friend show I he quad slus gtx295 in he new gaming computer . that be right ... four 1792mb graphic card ! let just say , `` Crysis on Maximum Qality '' be no problem ... even for Vista . +407 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy this card to provide dual-display functionality for my work desktop . it be a good entry-level card that provide stable and clear graphic . Windows 7 rate it a 6.2 on the Windows experience index , for those that track that sort of thing . driver install be a breeze as usual with evga\/nvidia . I would buy this card again and recommend it to anyone look for a decent card to provide good graphic to one or two monitor , but not for someone look to get high performance in graphics-heavy games\/applications . +626 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be a very good video card for you last agp upgrade . the cd-rom with the video driver be useless , but ATI have the driver need . a word of caution this card be very long so make sure you have plenty of room front to rear . also I originally purchase this card for my son computer , but find out after it arrive that it do not work on he Intel Centron motherboard ... hmmm ? no worry I swap my Nvidia 7300 gt and all be well . the Sapphire video card work perfectly in my computer . +484 GraphicsCard POS 5 its a 2g video card at less than $ 80 , enough say . its a freak great deal , compare to any other video card and youll end up pay twice as much for half the performance . +521 GraphicsCard POS 5 since the 680 have be put out for sale I have be want to buy one of they card . I have never have a nvidium card other than my g 74 . regardless its a shame and total greed for people to take advantage of other people dream , hobby , they know people be go to pay because of the enthuisiast be so passionate and excited that most wont wait . DONT BUY FROM THESE CROOKS !!!!! i bought a i7 3770k and HAVE BEEN WANTING to PUT one or the other of THESE CARDS definition of : Price Gouging - pricing above the market price when no alternative retailer be available . pricing - the evaluation of something in term of its price ... +686 GraphicsCard POS 5 I already have a identical card make by another manufacturer -lrb- gigabyte -rrb- . I want to try crossfire with my exist card , just for the hell of it -lrb- I can run most game in ultra setting -rrb- . however , because of how fast these card get sell out on other retailer site and how the manufacturer do not make they anymore , it be nearly impossible until I decide to search it on Amazon . I must say that its availability despite be open box be astonishing . also know how much effort Amazon put in with open box item , I order it without hesitation . I get the item in Amazon 's box , not the manufacturer but this be not a problem . I receive everything from the original box content , include cable , free dirt game , manufacturer driver disc , and the manual . if you be also look for this card for crossfire with you exist 6950\/70 card , I highly recommend it . FYI , this card also have the bio mode 1 and mode 2 switch on the card for you to flash it with 6970 driver , in order to unlock additional shader on the 6950 card . I do not do it on this card as I do try it on my other card previously , but due to heat level and how I do not have a issue with run game revert it back . although the price be pretty much the same as its retail price would go if it be available as a new item online , I do not mind it as it be nearly impossible to find these card . have fun and thanks Amazon . +233 GraphicsCard POS 4 I be not sure how to review this product in term of its spec . so I will just mention my experience with it in ply Skyrim . when you be on the highest setting , the game might stutter from time to time . but after lower several setting -lrb- e.g. shadow detail to medium -rrb- , the game run flawlessly -lrb- even with the skyrim hd mod -rrb- . +394 GraphicsCard POS 5 my CRT finally give out , so I buy a flat screen but soon discover that the onboard video of my Dell Dimension 3000 could not provide the maximum resolution for the new 16-9 form factor . you have to download the new driver to get this card to provide this form factor and the max resolution . the driver on the CD do not do it . first physically install the card and then the new driver from the evga website . Use type 6 and then choose driver 296.10 . then disable the onboard video driver in the device manager and shut down . then switch the display cable to the card connection . when you restart , the system should ask you which driver you want and you can select the new driver that you just install . I do not do this , and have to restart in VGA mode just to get the driver install . when I connect the display cable to the card the screen be just black . I have to reconnect to the onboard video and disable -- but not uninstall -- the onboard video . when I reconnect the display cable to the card and restart the system auto-configure the monitor and I now have the 1600 x 900 resolution that I want . the color be clear and crisp . the evga support staff be very cooperative and help I to locate the correct driver but they and manual really do not give exact instruction about how to get this do . +638 GraphicsCard POS 4 my Dell Dimension 8300 -lrb- over 5 year old -rrb- start have video problem . I read one of the other review on the Amazon site , and that customer have a similar problem with a similar computer . I have already plug in a different monitor and have the same problem , so I rule out it be the monitor . next bext guess , it be either the video card or the motherboard . Video card $ 50 or motherboard ... probably would have go with a new computer . long story short , the card work like a charm , and I be back in business . +11 GraphicsCard NEG 1 beware !!! no support for Windows 7 !!!!! evga Tech support , -lrb-888-rrb- 881-3842 , point I to the specification pdf at the follow url : -lrb- ... -rrb- , which do not list Windows 7 . at that point they would no longer make any attempt to get it to work on my computer . when ask about the Windows 7\/64-bit success report by other , they say they do not know how people be get it to work - `` maybe make home-made driver ... '' even though the driver suggest by a Microsoft website do install , -lrb- 257.21 _ desktop_win7_winvista_64bit_english_whql -rrb- , and provide the 1080p resolution I need , as soon as I open a internet Explorer browser , the card begin to eat up all of the CPU -lrb- visible in Task Manager -rrb- and the ie window become unresponsive - would not repaint . accord to the tech support representative , evga do not provide any other card that will work for this combination of requirement : windosw 7 , 64-bit , pcus . current card be mostly pci-express or pci-e . do not waste you time on this combination . +296 GraphicsCard POS 5 great product ! exceed expectation for old style agp configure white box - great great ! +544 GraphicsCard POS 5 it be brand new from the box . it work great and it just need new driver from the website nvidia.com . it arrive on time as expect . thank you Amazon ! +249 GraphicsCard POS 5 my evga nVidia GeForce 7800 GTX 512 , once a oem-only benchmark smoking $ 750 + -lrb- in 2005 dollar : -rrb- -rrb- graphic card , have finally reach the point where new game be not playable at all , and new , entry-level card be begin to outrun it . it be only take 6 year . : d if you be look at this product , you be likely aware that the only thing it share with the gtx560 ti be the name . the rest of the hardware be a 570 with one additional multiprocessor disabled -lrb- possibly 570 chip with a core that do not pass muster -rrb- . great review of the underlie hardware be available from all the normal hardware testing site , so I 'll focus on the evga and classify portion of this card . I have deal with evga hardware personally and professionally for go on six year now , and can find nothing bad to say about the company . which be remarkable , come from I . you get the feeling , own they product , that they make the kind of product they themselves would like to own . they stand behind they hardware , offer awesome warranty -lrb- 5 , 10 or lifetime , depend on the hardware -rrb- and provide all the overclocking and monitoring tool you need . the classify card be large ; it take up all of the available space in my Alienware full tower between the drive cage and the PCI case slot . so much so , in fact , that I have to remove my ide cable for lack of a place to run it , and both card have to be insert at a angle , line up with the DVI port and rotate into place . seat and slot , there be just enough room for a SATA cable to lay between the drive cage and the end of the card . I install the card in my evga x58 slus 3x motherboard , pull out my 7800 . though the card instruction recommend installation in the 1st and 3rd pcie slot , I want dual-slot x16 bandwidth , not some hobble x16\/x8 monkey business . know better , naturally , I place then in the first two x16 slot . the fan side of these card , with the red stripe , be bow out , and when they be place in the adjacent slot , I find that they actually push on each other , cause a awkward sort of lean in the plastic bezel . but they work . so I fire up my system . installation of the driver be unremarkable , a couple of reboot later I be up and run . the problem I immediately notice be bring to light by evga 's own precision software . at idle -lrb- as idle as Aero get , at least -rrb- gpu2 be sit at a comfortable 37c , while gpu1 sweat up around 50c . launch a game with slus bring the temperature up . the cooling system in the card will rev the fan up to keep the temperature from exceed 70C , and gpu2 hit that . gpu1 go much farther than that . I consider water-boiling temperature to be too high for my comfort . play a older game like tf2 do not cause a problem , other than my concern that one card be 30C hotter than the other . run a directx11 demo program with tessellation utilize the card fully , however , and my system soon reboot itself . after the second reboot in two day , that little nagging `` install in x16 slot 1 and 3 '' keep come up in my mind , and so I do a little research about the impact of x16\/x16 versus x16\/x8 . I find that the expert note only a performance different of 5-6 fp in most game -lrb- and we be not run below 60 -rrb- . the SLI bridge make up a lot of the difference , it appear . so I move gpu2 to the third x16 slot and now both card stay about the same temperature all of the time , I have have no problem play game . with the notable exception that my mouse-tracking in some game have improve so much that I have to adjust my fp habit to compensate for the change . so the classify card be huge , they need a lot of juice -lrb- 6 pin and 8 pin on each -rrb- and I see no possible way to actually run three of these in slus without replace the heatsink with a waterblock to get rid of the heat . that be say , they be build for overclocking , and for the price of one of these card , you can speed it up to compete easily with much more expensive choice . and the evga logo on the edge of the card light up white . shame on evga for not print in they installation manual : `` no , stupid , I say use the 1st and 3rd slot . I do not care what you think you know about bandwidth as it apply to SLI , do what I say before you burn you house down . '' I be hope for another 6 year with this next generation of evga graphic card . +485 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have be wait to purchase the gtx 680 , but it have not come back in stock at msrp price . even if it be in stock , I be feel that drop $ 500 on a card would be something I could not quite justify . then I read the Toms Hardware review of the gtx 670 and be amaze at they result -lrb- this card perform within a few frame per second of the gtx 680 , a card $ 100 more expensive -rrb- . judge by how quickly the gtx 680 's go out of stock , I seek out and purchase this card from Amazon at $ 399 in less than 10 min after finish say article . the card arrive today and I quickly swap it out with my beloved Saphhire AMD HD 4870 . my system boot with no problem and within a few min I have the new GeForce driver install . for reference , I have a older quad core , the Q6700 @ 2.666 GHz , 8 gb ddr2 @ 800mhz , and a 1920 x 1080 monitor . performance Skyrim : amazing . smooth . I feel the difference immediately ; no more slight stutter when turn quickly . fireball , dragon , this card do not even blink . BF3 : turn everything up to ultra\/max . I fly a chopper over oil field while tank and infantry fire crisscross the earth . jet buzz I try to get a easy kill but I dodge they like a bad father evade child support . for the first time , battle field 3 feel fluid ; it be like I be play a new game . so smooth , so crisp ; it almost distract you from the horror that be war . Adobe CS5 : after add GeForce GTX 670 to a text file , Premiere pro implement the Mercury Playback Engine for extra hardware acceleration during editing . I open a project where as before my system would playback the video at only about 14fp ; now , with this card , it play back real time . I be able to quickly jog back and forth in the timeline without any major lag . without any modification , Adobe Photoshop detect and implement hardware acceleration . I can not wait until I get CS6 and use photoshop for video effect , I imagine this feature will help immensely . sound much quieter than my hd 4870 . I imagine this be because the older GPU be work harder and thus auto-set the fan higher . as it be with the gtx 670 , I can barely hear comp when I be wear my sennheiser pc350 headphone . AWESOMENESS Yes . my advice ; if you be wait around for the gtx 680 , buy one of these instead -lrb- provide you can find stock at msrp price -rrb- . good luck solider , you 'll need it ! +746 GraphicsCard POS 5 order the card , get it about 9 day later . so far no problem with it at all . can run everything I play without problem -lrb- most intensive thing I have play so far would probably be Metro 2033 . -rrb- not too noisy , but I be yet to get the fan up above 50 % so it may get a bit louder but that be to be expect . +581 GraphicsCard NEG 1 Got this a week ago because I hear it be suppose to be the go to gtx 670 ! it work for about 30 minute , after 30 minute the card keep crash . download different driver and all that stuff , now my computer disable it off the bat ! report of this problem be widespread , do yourself a favor and wait till they fix it ! thank goodness for amazon return policy ! +823 GraphicsCard POS 5 if you play game , this be one outstanding card . my frame rate jump up and my system run cooler ! the card be a little shorter than some , allow easy installation and good airflow . Power demand drop in comparison to my older card . on wow , my setting be up to the maximum for all element , and my frame-rate go up a lot . foliage look much better , and movement be smoother too . cod be so much improve it be amazing . one of the best computer upgrade I ever make . +910 GraphicsCard POS 5 this video card be a tame beast ! I use to run two GTX 465 in SLI now this one gtx 680 give I 20 + fps more than the older slus card with game . my older video card fan and other computer fan be louder than the gtx 680 . it also consume less power -lrb- good for electric bill -rrb- and do not run as hot as older video card . I can run the Witcher 2 max out at 1080p -lrb- no-ubersampling -rrb- usually over 60fp , even with 3d Vision it still play smoothly . seem like other video card company get rid of lifetime warranty , however this card have a lifetime warranty for the original owner which be why I purchase from pny . the $ 30 rebate be helpful and the include 16 foot hdmus cable be a plus . +773 GraphicsCard POS 4 First of all , I be wary about upgrade from my previous card -lrb- the Radeon HD 5770 hawk -rrb- since it run damn near everything -lrb- and still do , mostly -rrb- . for I to purchase a new card , it would have have to be a massive improvement and within a reasonable price range . I consider the hd 6850 , which be supposedly ~ 50 % better performance-wise , but go with the hd 6950 which be purportedly 100 % better than the 5770 . it be : - -rrb- this be a huge card . it just fit in my -lrb- Cooler Master mystique -rrb- tower to within 1 cm . it require a `` 500 watt or greater power supply , with two 75w 6-pin PCI Express power connector '' . just keep those spec in mind . that say , my hardware fulfil the requirement so I go ahead with the install . it be advisable to first remove or uninstall any automatic overclocking on you current card -lrb- mine be the hd 5770 -rrb- and completely uninstall its driver . I do just that , fit in my hd 6950 , reboot and install the driver that come with the CD . worked fine until I decide to upgrade the driver . I get a immediate bsod -lrb- blue screen of death -rrb- which come back every reboot after a few minute -lrb- fault `` atikmpag . dll '' -rrb- . the only way to solve it be to install completely and reinstall the download driver . since then it work fine . I suggest therefore that you do not install from disc and then upgrade you driver . just download the latest driver from ATI and use that . I choose the Sapphire model in particular for the two fan and large copper pipe that comprise the heat-sink . the extra cooling on the Sapphire be a boon to those who wish to flash\/overclock this puppy . the hd 6950 can be `` flash '' with the bio of the hd 6970 make its value even better ! of course this be risky and will void you warranty and possibly brick you card if you do not know what you be do ... another reason I choose this particular model be it seem to be the same as the dirt3 edition ! -lrb- minus the game of course ! -rrb- all in all great performance , 4 star for the driver issue I have but flawless performance since then . +594 GraphicsCard POS 5 you will not be disappoint buy this card . if you have the money to spend for a very high end gaming rig , this be the video card you need . I have see many mixed review between the AMD 7970 and the Nvidia GTX 680 . this card keep very cool and quiet , which be much much better than with any stock cooler on video card . also , all you have to do be just flip the switch to the factory overclock bio and you be set ! +431 GraphicsCard POS 5 go from a 8800gt to this be a whole new world . I run the heaven benchmark with everything max and still come out with 46.2 fp without overclock anything with max fp around 117 . this be with everything max so this card be definitely a beast . it doesnt consume a lot of power either the box say 550w psu recommend and I be run a 600w psu . there have be come hiccup when try to play some game but that a driver issue on nvidias side . I turn off vsync and that seem to have fix my problem . diablo 3 be not a intensive game but I avg 100 fp with everything at max . look forward to try this on some other game down the road that for sure . I have the elite 430 case and this card be perfect for it . fit with room to spare . I can even have the fan on the side panel with a good inch to spare from the fan to the card . +108 GraphicsCard NEG 2 this be ok , I have to mouse over the text on the second monitor at time to be able to see it . it support from company be slow . I would spend the extra money on a better product next time . +239 GraphicsCard POS 5 WOW . right out of the box . . i bump up the voltage all the way up to the 7970 spec . . and right away i be do 1050 Core and 1450 Mem -lrb- stock 7950 do 800\/1250 -rrb- , that ' a whopping 31 % faster without any effort . i gotta say ... i feel spoil run bf3 in Ultra with 4xaa in 2550x1440 re -lrb- average 45fp -rrb- . only caveat ... the reference cooler do a terrible job at coop with the overclock . at stock speed , it do alright around 65c in bf3 , but at 1050\/1450 , it jump up to low 80 's . the good news be ... the vrm stay relatively cool , even at overclocked speed ... in bf3 it only hover around 85c . which be pretty amazing consider there be no heatsink what so ever cover the Vram , or the VRM chip . one warn tho ... if you run this reference card overclock in Furmark ... you can see up to upper 90c for core and up to 100c on the VRM . i plan on upgrade the cooler to the Zalman VF3000 when they release a compatible heatink for the 7900 series . . i really can not wait . the fan noise can be loud , but i like the sound of a jet plane , make my rig sound like a beast . i use headphone to game . . so do not matter . be sure to setup custom fan profile if you do overclock it . and watch out for the VRM temp as you overclock ... those thing tend to be overlook by most people , but they can fry you card if they get too hot . definitely should invest in a after market cooler when more option become available . i be glad i return my p o s d i a m o n d 6950 and wait a couple week for this awesome 7950 . : d +120 GraphicsCard POS 5 great bang for the buck purchase ! Plays all the game like battlefield 3 and Skrym on Ultra setting with no lag at all . I be run i5 2500k and it perform great ! no con so far +628 GraphicsCard POS 5 I love the card , it be dead silent and run absolutely everything like a dream . for multi-monitor setup , it might not be enough , but for everything short of that it be a blast . +95 GraphicsCard POS 5 it be amazing , all heavy game run with max setting flawless . I have test with Max Payne 3 , Crysis 2 , the Witcher 2 and Trine 2 in 3d . +656 GraphicsCard POS 5 excellent performance in Windows 7 , I can play source game , civilization 5 , and just cause 2 on high or max setting . the card be quiet , but very long ; it cover up some of my SATA port . the only other con be that it do not have a VGA port . +612 GraphicsCard POS 5 Got this card Dec 1st and be thrill to see that it have the bio switch . I plug it into my rig and it be good to go . I flip the switch and the shader unlock by themselves . I do not have to do any thing but flip the little switch . two of my friend also buy this same GPU , one off of the egg , and the other off of Amazon . both of they gpus unlock exactly like mine do . for those of you who do not know it be located on the top of the card , by the crossfire connector underneath the plastic heat sink cover . take I a while to find it , but it work great . for bf3 I run it unlock and at 950\/1350 @ 1120 in Sapphire 's TRIXX software . this make it so easy to turn it into a 6970 at $ 100 cheaper . at default high setting for bf3 I get 40-80 frame a second . most of the time it be at 60 , but when alot of thing be explode or fall down it drop to 40 . have not see it below 40 though . I also play wow @ ultra and get great frame -lrb- 60-100 -rrb- . although wow be more CPU limited than GPU limited , a upgrade to my processor will help my frame out alot . for $ 220 after rebate this card be a great purchase . my rig : CPU : 955 be GPU : 6950 2gb sapphire -lrb- non dirt3 edition -rrb- case : Corsair 500r white PSU : Corsair tx750 v2 mobo : Gigabyte 990fxa ud3 RAM : 8gb G. skill ripjaw x series +658 GraphicsCard POS 5 receive product in good time and work great . packaging be great no damage to product . no complaint on this end . +834 GraphicsCard POS 5 ok , first thing first . I have to admit I be so worried about this video card , specially after read all those forum , review and comment that i have read while do my research . specially about that over-overclock out of the box issue , that instability issue , and specially that red screen issue . for my surprise and peace of mind . when I set up my brand new pc , it all work perfectly except the CPU -lrb- i7 3770k , you can read my review -rrb- but after a while i get it solve by update the mobo -lrb- maximus v gene -rrb- bio so , after use this video card with Diablo III , League of Legends , Starcraft 2 , Crysis 2 , medal of honor , battlefield , and soon with max payne 3 . I can tell , THIS CARD be AMAZING ! all above 70 + FPS always ! I update my gtx 285 , and I have to strongly recommend this GPU . BUT be aware only the GPU DO NOT INSTALL ANY SOFTWARE COMING FROM ASUS . and I tell you that last advice because my fear come true as soon as I install the latest version of ASUS GPU TWEAK . Red screen start to appear and system become so unstable . then I uninstall it , and go back for nvidium plain driver , and everything be run perfect again . so , the card be perfect , but the asus software be really really bad . +647 GraphicsCard POS 5 after several day of read review here - I finally go with this card for my older Dell XPS desktop . the Dell AMD install card be just horrible consider XPS be suppose to be they `` better '' gaming type system . I only play wow and web surf . this video card jump my frame per second -lrb- fp -rrb- in WoW way up . in 25-man raid with spell graphic set high , I be maintain 45ish fp and in Stormwind around 80FPS . that be a huge improvement over the original card . one issue I have with this video card that actually make it make a very annoying cycling noise - be the fault of the Dell XPS case . above the card there be a metal crossbar that lock into place over the video card on the motherboard . well due the much larger size of this card compare to the original AMD card - the crossbar when install now compress the new card down to much and cause the annoying noise . after a week of wait to see if the noise would go away on its own - I open the case back up and just remove the crossbar all together . now its perfect - no noise at all ! also as one reviewer say - ensure you power supply have 2 free 6pin power connector - the card will not work with only one . great card overall without break the piggy bank - and if have a older xp system - this be great way to boost its performance and extend you system life . +176 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy this video card because i have a older pc , Intel Celeron 2.00 Ghz 1Gb Ram , with this video card Windows 7 work very well , the Geforce 8400GS run Aero perfectly , im so satisfied with this order , this Video Card be the best choice to older pc 's with only Pci Slots . Compre Esta tarjeta de video porque tengo una pc Antigua , Intel Celeron 2.00 Ghz 1GB de Ram , con esta tarjeta de video Windows 7 funciona muy bien , la Geforce 8400g corre el Aero perfectamente . Estoy muy satisfecho con esta compra , esta tarjeta de video es la mejor opcion para pc 's antigua que solo cuenten con puerto Pci . +37 GraphicsCard POS 5 I do not claim tobe a game champion but this board seem to run at 40 fp or faster and work with Directx 10 . do not use the include cd but down load the latest driver from ATI . +796 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy this video card to replace a 128mb card in a 8-year old Dell Dimension 8400 mid-tower desktop . hardware installation be a snap - 3 minute , start to finish - and the OEM software install with no issue onto my Windows xp sp3 platform . -lrb- tip for novice use xp : when you boot you machine after install this card , the Windows hardware wizard will try to install driver for you , but do not let it . click on cancel when the wizard start , then mount the OEM disk into a optical drive . if the OEM disk do not automatically play when you rack it up , click on Start , my computer , right-click on the drive contain the driver disk , and then select autoplay . -rrb- note that I be not a gamer , nor be I try to drive multiple monitor or a hdtv with this video card . that say , I have notice a immediate upside in performance with this card , particularly in its handling of streaming video and mpeg file . my initial impression be that this card be a good value for dollar and that I be go to be very happy with this purchase . if not , I 'll be back to update this review . +478 GraphicsCard POS 4 I want to try the Windows 8 preview and this video card have driver for Windows 8 . every other card I try would only work on Windows 8 with the default Windows video driver . it be a very basic video card , but that suit my purpose well . it plug right into my older PCI slot .

I be very happy with the initial purchase and elate with the second card . the first card install go without a hitch . this encourage I to try a Quad SLI configuration and I purchase a second card . strongly recommend run the EVGA Precision application when in Quad SLI . set the card to a higher fan speed for the air cool version . I would recommend the water cool Hydro Copper version and install a water cooling system now give the Quad SLI system I build . the card become power crazy and the longer you run they , the hotter they get . in a single card system the fan noise be hardly noticeable at all and considerable quieter than previous video card I have have . the system run great on the Gigabyte EX-58 Extreme install in a Cool Master HAF-X case . run two card in Quad SLI mode have its down side . Make sure you have a high watt power supply and battery up , I have a 1200w silent gold pro 80 + gold but only a 1500va up . there be time the UPS hit 900 watt of load and trip the shutdown procedure -lrb- this be after more than 6 hour of continuous use at high resolution and high graphic load , not over clocked -rrb- . read the faq on the support site when the blue screen show up . there be a potential conflict with hd audio use the same resource . the support site walk you through the step and you be back up and run in no time . the tech support report system reply in a few hour with the pointer to the support faq . great card . for dual use , consider switch to water cool version . +609 GraphicsCard POS 5 I be turn my old computer into a dvr -lrb- use Windows 7 Media Center -rrb- , and be unable to use the on board graphic to get over the Air hd channel in . I purchase this to fix that problem , and it do beyond belief !!!! I install this in a Dell Dimension 3000 , with Intel Pentium 4 -lrb- 2.8 ghz -rrb- with 1.5 gb of RAM , run Windows 7 Professional x86 . the Dell Dimension 3000 only have pcus slot , so I be limit to what I can use , most newer card be pci-express , so find a pcus card , that be any good be tough . I then come to this product . with 512mb of memory and a pcus connection this be a great choice ! I open up the computer and plug this card into a available PCI slot -lrb- the heat sink on the card be large , so you may need to put it away from other card -rrb- , and turn on the computer . straight from boot the computer could use this pcus card and have no problem use VGA . Windows detect it and I install the software -lrb- I do not use the CD , instead I download the latest software from NVIDIA 's website -rrb- . I reboot the computer and be look at great graphic with super fast performance ! I plug in a hdmus cable go to my tv and it switch over with no problem , so now I have Video and Sound go through the HDMI cable from this card !!!! I have test the computer by view video from my tv tuner -lrb- over the Air HD programming -rrb- and have no problem . all the video that would not play before -lrb- like Media Center DVR content play perfectly -rrb- and they be no shutter or video problem ! when I run the Windows experience here be my result : Processor : 3.7 memory : 4.1 graphic : 4.2 gaming graphic : 4.5 -lrb- amazing improvement !!! -rrb- primary hdd : 4.1 the result before the new card be install -lrb- Intel Integrated Graphics -rrb- : Processor : 3.7 memory : 4.1 graphic : 1.9 gaming graphic : 1.0 primary hdd : 4.1 in the end this be a great video card for any computer not just older computer -lrb- although a more powerful one might be need for gaming -rrb- . I be extremely happy with this card , from the easy installation and driver from NVIDIA to the hdmus output to my tv , it be great !!! I highly recommend for anyone look to speed up a older computer . I be use this computer as a dvr use Windows Media Center for watch tv and recording . here be the spec of my system to help anyone out : Dell Dimension 3000 Original Motherboard Intel Pentium 4 , 2.8 ghz 1.5 gb of memory -lrb- 1024 + 512 mb chip -rrb- Windows 7 Professional , 32 bit for the price and feature this card can not be beat !!! I highly recommend it !!!! +635 GraphicsCard POS 5 handle my 2560x1440 27inch monitor at 100hz like a champ . I upgrade from a gtx 470 and couldnt be happier . it be not heat up my room anymore ... lol love it . it handle everything i throw at it . +78 GraphicsCard POS 5 very fast graphic card . Run very quiet . I get 3 three of they play bf3 . way better than 4 evga gtx580 hc2 3gb classfy that I get . the fp be 5 % higher . the only problem be it be little hotter than evga 580 . +783 GraphicsCard NEU 3 I buy this item to replace a older replacement . I need something to match my native monitor resolution and do some video editing . ship be fast , item install fine . then the problem begin . when first install I get the 640x480 setting that could not be change . after all kind of set change find all over the internet I be still stick . I finally find a solution that allow the driver to be use . that let I change the resolution , but there be no option for my monitor 's native re of 1440x900 . this be a frequent problem I find out . the setting I could use be ok , but kinda blurry and the refresh be terrible . then I do what I should have do all along . what evga \* should \* have tell I to do . I go to nvidia.com . I find the latest driver include the Nvidia Control Panel -lrb- not include with evga driver -rrb- . it be a 86 meg download that I run immediately . install be quick and I restart when ask . what come back up be amazing . everything be crisp and sharp . it find the correct resolution before I need to make any change at all . and the refresh be now excellent . moral of this story be the card be good . just skip the EVGA CD and go straight to Nvidia.com to grab they latest update . the driver supply on the CD be just not up to speed . +404 GraphicsCard NEU 3 I really do not know if this product be good or not because my computer would not work with this card , so I put my old card back in & this card be still in box . +42 GraphicsCard POS 4 this product be easy to install on my computer . it enhance the video capibility by 100 % on my Dell Dimension 4600 that be purchase in mid-2004 . +953 GraphicsCard POS 5 Excelente eleccion . La tarjeta trabaja al 100 % y lo que mas I gusto e que es agp . La marca es reconocida y se puede comprar sin ningun temor . El precio I parecio muy bueno y el envio rapido . +673 GraphicsCard POS 5 I just upgrade from a already good card - a AMD MSi Twin Frozr 2 6950 ... put the old card in my wife 's pc along with she 6950 to crossfire ... I do benchmark against she rig to see if she last gen crossfire setup could defeat my current gen single 670 ftw ... I be please with my result . run Heaven against she rig with crossfire off -lrb- one card vs one -rrb- I see that I have nearly if not double the performance out of the new 670 ftw edition . wow - my score double ? hell yes . then I put she rig in Crossfire - let 's just say that while she rig do defeat mine in overall score , my rig do win in stability and consistency . my experience in the upgrade be smooth as far as upgrade go . I run three display off of the single 670 ftw -lrb- not for multus monitor gaming - just other display with stuff on they -rrb- and it be easy to install and setup . gaming be amazing . while I think I have a good experience with the last card , max out game be just that much easier and smoother . I run everything amazingly well - Blacklight Retribution especially feel great . battlefield 3 will obviously run great . let I just say that with the new feature like adaptive vsync and gpu boost that this card just feel robust . it can really take you gaming rig and make it feel solid . the card physically look great in the case also . just have to mention it because I hate the way some of the 670s look from other manufacturer . while it have near reference cooling , it keep the card cool . who need two fan ? meh - I pay for performance more than I do for gimmicky fan - and performance be what you get . this package be worth every penny . if you do not want to spend 400 buck well that be cool - get the 660tus that just release . at 100 dollar cheaper you do still get some good performance . however - if you at all plan on upgrade to SLI do not get the 660tus . you will appreciate have the most reasonable single card performance you can get . go ahead and save that extra 100 and get the 670 ftw . upgrade to slus later if you need it , or just wait until next year . I be sure they will release the 700 series card and blow this out of the water in 6 to 12 month . I plan on get a second 670 ftw . why ? I know I just say that I play everything at MAX , however I like to mod game like Skyrim . skyrim with all my enb modding drop to below 20fp in the worst condition ! wow right ? Yea , but it look amazing . I want to try and bump it up to 30 at least ... +976 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be a power-hungry , video-processing beast ! I can stream -lrb- and decode -rrb- H. 264 video at 1080p on one monitor while play StarCraft 2 at max setting -lrb- 1920x1200 -rrb- on another . I honestly do not know why they sell graphic card with more power than this . oh , and the bad part ... it blow up my 600w Thermaltake Purepower PSU after two day . recommend a BIG power supply for this bad boy . use a Corsair GS700 now and everything be great ! +644 GraphicsCard NEG 1 i see the benchmark at youtube website and gtx 580 be much powerful than gtx 570 but between gtx 680 and gtx 670 be almost same performance but 100 dollar less so i decide to buy gtx 670 . im very happy with this compare to gtx 580 -lrb- my previous card -rrb- . if you overclock the gtx 670 will overpower gtx 680 and that awesome ! by the way 3d vision be just amazing and im tell you guy 3d movie suck but 3d gaming be AMAZING because 3d effect be lot more 3 dimension than 3d movie !!!!! too bad lot of people do not even give it a try . 2d flat picture gaming suck !!!!!! update ! !!!!!!!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS model -lrb- 02g-p4-2670 -rrb- it only last me 2 week !!! buy the gtx 670 -lrb- 02g-p4-2678 -rrb- model instead !!! it seem like EVGA fix all the bad problem on THIS NEW MODEL . I read the REVIEW FROM NEWEGG WEBSITE and HARDLY NOBODY COMPLAIN on THIS MODEL I should have LISTEN to those review . IM very happy with the new model +101 GraphicsCard POS 4 Let 's face it . agp be die . what be you option if you have a agp board ? . well ... \* sigh \* . New mobo and CPU -lrb- 60 buck at the CHEAPEST , and not worth it if you have a good , but older CPU and mobo . -rrb- probably new RAM -lrb- 4gb of ddr2 be 50 buck in some place . -rrb- and obviously , a new video card . -lrb- the hd4770 be around 100 buck , and a excellent card ! . -rrb- that be a total of ... this many \* hold up finger . \* on the other hand , I be able to get this card at 75 buck . . still , a bit spendy . but it be well worth the investment if you want to keep you agp board alive for just a year or 2 longer . the card itself be very good . can run all the latest game smoothly , such as leave 4 dead -lrb- which be not say much as it be run ok on my laptop . -rrb- Street Fighter 4 , Crysis , and even the new ghostbuster game . this card will handle it with most of the detail and the re turn up . anyone planning to purchase this card need to know something . this require a hefty amount of amperage from you power supply . even if you have a power supply with a pci-e connector , you should use the supply adapter . this card require 30a on the 12v + rail . that be a higher than the require amount for a gtx285 card . the card will run without problem on a lower amerage 12v rail , but you power supply will be get stressed to do it , and it could eventually kill you power supply . just a warning . +872 GraphicsCard NEU 3 a warn to those who believe the list spec on this page : check the SKU on EVGA 's site reveal this this product do NOT have a DisplayPort connection . do not be fool by the title , description or spec list on the Amazon page . other than that , it be a great card . +49 GraphicsCard POS 5 I order it recently but I be already make a review ... cause I want to know if I be receive the one with a hdmus port on it and I do not want the s-video type ... ok ? hope there be a reply for I from Amazon ok ? ... thanks +227 GraphicsCard POS 5 upgrade from twin 5870 's for iracing , push three 23 '' monitor in eyefinity . Have have to turn down some of the eye candy to get decent frame rate at some track and iracing be a bit lack in the eyefinity support . saw this card and just have to have it . put it in last night and everything be go great . framerate double or more , and that be with all graphic setting max out , which they be not before . awesome card and well worth the price of the upgrade . glad Sapphire put some mini-dp to DVI adapter as those be the monitor cable I have for the outboard monitor , though the change in dp cable throw I a little bit . the nice thing about this over the 5870 be that it do not matter which monitor be on which port . before the middle monitor need to be on the dp port . very happy with the upgrade . +317 GraphicsCard POS 5 and I could not be happier . I have quite a few problem with certain game -lrb- nothing too major , but when you be spend a lot of money you want it to work correctly -rrb- and finally decide to just go back to my root -lrb- my first card be a geforce 5200fx ... ah memory -rrb- . I buy this card wonder if it would solve my woe , and now I run absolutely anything I throw at it -lrb- Skyrim , bf3 , Witcher 2 , Max Payne 3 -rrb- at max setting with no chop . I have two atus card that total up to more than I spend on this card . sure it be powerful , but there be so many weird driver\/profile problem that it be not worth the hassle . this card have exceed my expectation , and for anyone who have the money this be absolutely worth it . +826 GraphicsCard POS 5 buy this for my newest build , want to build a pretty powerful machine , general use , office and such , no gaming , some video encoding . I just really want and like a fast pc . this card be use with my asrock z77 extreme6 and i7 3770k oc setup . Works great . love it for my dual monitor , which be a must have for a office pc use daily . anyone look at add dual monitor for almost any office pc will not regret the decision . +52 GraphicsCard POS 5 Easy to install , and have no problem . deliver every bit of performance you would expect from a 512mb card . no issue . +646 GraphicsCard POS 5 I replace 2 gt 250 's in slus with this baby . it draw less power , run much quieter , and much much faster . the multitude of video output provide ton of expansion beyond my single 1920x1200 24 incher , and bring single-card triple-head gaming into reach . the nVidia graphic driver rock in both Windows and Linux . stability have be top notch ; I have have my system run for day -lrb- and the day can get hot ! -rrb- to validate this . highly recommend . +384 GraphicsCard POS 4 the Sapphire Hd 6950 2gb be a decent graphic card that run game very well . on my 1600x900 20 '' monitor I be able to Max almost anything I can throw at it with 40 + average framerate . this would include Battlefield 3 , Metro 2033 , Shogun 2 , Age of Conan , stalker call of Pripyat , and Witcher 2 . although this specific card do come with a bio switch to enable 6970 shader I be not able to unlock they . my card specifically be lock to the 6950 bio and the overclocking be a little low . I be able to get about a 8 % increase in performance when overclock but anything over that crash the display . however it run incredibly cool , max out at 50 celsius with my 2 120mm external fan , and run eyefinity without any noticeable strain on the card . my framerate stay almost identical on a three monitor setup as on my single monitor . the 2gb of VRAM be necessary for higher resolution and larger game such as bf3 and gta 4\/5 . all in all it be a decent card but I do regret not spend $ 30 more and get a 7850 or a gtx570 -lrb- when it go on sale -rrb- . the price-to-performance ratio for a $ 260 7850 or a $ 270 gtx570 outbeat the 6950 . +613 GraphicsCard POS 5 best buy hook it up and it work ! that be all I need . I be not get any display on my monitor at first and best buy tell I what to buy . +719 GraphicsCard POS 4 I buy this for a old Pentium 4 system that run my entertainment center in the den . have a few issue initially with the driver and my Dvico gold tv card but with a few tweak and update it be run fine . nice and quiet with the fanless heatsink but would not want to push it too hard . +997 GraphicsCard NEG 1 well , what can I say ? it do not work . there be not much else to add . do I mention that it do not work ? yeah , it do not work . at all . really . it be also not quite heavy enough to function as a paperweight or even perhaps something one could lob at a enemy and hurt they -lrb- I be pretty sure it would just bounce harmlessly off the enemy , leave they unscathed , unless the enemy be very very small -rrb- . maybe it have some untapped performance art potential . I miss that kind of stuff all the time . oh yeah , you should probably not buy this unless , of course , you do not mind the part about it not work at all . +661 GraphicsCard NEU 3 let I start out by say that I have purchase this item from Amazon , but I be go to exchange it for another one because this card be so good . I be get a lot of bsod and have be post on forum to try to figure out what be go on . I go so far as to reformat my computer and I be still get the blue screen . this card be fast and quiet . let I emphasize how quiet it be ... you never hear it over you normal pc fan . maybe I have not play it long enough or oce it enough to really make the temp high , but still it be pretty amazing that it be so quiet . my 5870 sound like a jet take off and my 6870 be a little better , but this thing outstanding as far as noise go . as far as performance go , it handle pretty much anything you throw at it . I have not spend time overclock to card to see how far I can take it because of my bsod , but I hear from everyone that it can oc up too 100mhz over what the factory overclock be without any cooling . I can tell you that any stuttering I have experience during game have not be due to the card , and I have prove it be always CPU issue or poor game programming . I be run this in only 1680x1050 and have get 60fp or greater in every game I try out , even Crysis on ultra with 8x aa . the only game that could not handle this card be Metro 2033 on ultra which I keep get 20-40fps while play for my short time . however , pretty much any card have trouble with that game , so I be not go to count that against this card . now , let I complain about AMD and they driver . do not get this card yet if you have Windows xp only because there be no xp driver that support the 7k series yet ! I find that a little ridiculous since I could not test to see if I experience the same issue in xp or not . as far as the Windows 7 driver go , I have have some weird issue with my pc since I install the card as far as window on my pc get corrupted and have random display driver crash . I still can not tell if they be related to the fact that I have get a dud or not , but I see people on other forum complain about various driver issue as well . I would still say that if you be in the market for a $ 300-400 card , this one be it . \*\*\*\* UPDATE 5\/11\/2012 \*\*\*\* either I be a very unlucky person and I happen to get two bad card , or there be something very wrong with this card\/amd 's drivers\/my system . I speak with AMD , Sapphire , and my motherboard company and all of they tell I that my system should run the card flawlessly . Sapphire say they have no other idea and to return the card . AMD say they have ton of test system run all sort of hardware and os , and they claim that they have see no issue with tdr -lrb- display driver do not respond error -rrb- , blue screen , or game freezing . I be experience these worse with my second card , but I also update to the latest 12.4 driver . I try everything to fix this : update my bio , all 3 driver use all sort of driver cleaning program , fresh install of window 7 , update my bio , update my vbio , every setting possible , etc. and every combination of these . I still have constant blue screen , freezing , issue with the clock speed stay at they energy save rate during gameplay , etc. . two other weird issue be that anytime I have flash run in firefox , my AMD overdrive setting would revert to default , and with 12.4 , I would get terrible game performance until I alt-tab the game . I do not know what to do so I be exchange the card for a different model . this problem seem to be localized to a certain subset of user , but it definitely be there and my thread be rather popular on the forum with people all chime in about have the same issue . the card be good , when it work , but it be something I can not deal with . I have spend 80 hour try to debug this problem and lose all sort of work because of random blue screen . I would say avoid this card if you have Windows 7 64-bit and a Gigabyte ga-x58-ud3r motherboard . I never get to test with xp because the driver be not available at the time . \*\*\*\*\*\* special thanks to Amazon for allow I to get replacement card . you guy rock , and Amazon Prime have be a godsend . \*\*\*\*\*\*\* +193 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be a excellent video card to replace a OEM card . my video go out and so I have nothing on the screen . research card and determine this to be a good evga geforce gt 520 1024 MB ddr3 PCI Express 2.0 2DVI\/Mini-HDMI Graphics Card , 01g-p3-1526-kr I do not play video game but this card would probably work for the average game . it do 3D , have directx11 support . for a basic video card you can not beat the price and it come from Nvidia , a trust manufacture of high quality video card . have 3-year warranty . it do speed up view on my screen as it have twice the memory as my old card . and the image be very , very sharp . watch YouTube with no flickering or buffering at all . great card for a great price if all you want be basic card with some basic gaming . +190 GraphicsCard POS 4 nice upgrade from the 6400 series , very fast and detail be more than double , a bit pricey for a graphic card but worth it if you gaming and need that extra speed without lose detail . installation be fast , easy and worry free , instruction be simple and straight forward . +41 GraphicsCard POS 5 I get three of these to set up dual monitor set-up for three lady with older computer in my office . Make sure you download and install the latest driver from Startech 's website , ignore the cd that be include . as long as you have get the latest driver , set-up be quick and easy and no additional maintenance be require . setting be simple enough for people who be actually use the computer to understand and adjust . +155 GraphicsCard POS 5 this video card be superb ! my previous card be a gtx275 that be still alive and kick well . but , I just need a bit more juice . and I be feel dusty and old in the gfx card department , while my i7 be still go strong . so , I pick this up . ship quickly , packaging be really thorough , and attractive . Dang ? this run all of the high-end video game and graphic processing software I do not use WAY BETTER than they do not run at before . while I listen to music and derp around in photoshop or read article , this baby be alive and kick , run at 0 % load , for 24 hour a day . I have be extremely satisfy with it so far ; if I ever end up play a game to use it , I 'll let you know how it go . oh , yeah I guess I play d3 and that look gorgeous , but d3 utilize a ton of trick to make it run super-well and also , by default , look beautiful because , duh ? +892 GraphicsCard POS 4 worked very easily attach a monitor to a netbook with no VGA port available ... software install and run from sytem tray and not from the display property as most video card do ... that do throw I for a loop at first but otherwise a good product ... would buy it again if I need to +98 GraphicsCard POS 5 I recently start play Star Wars The Old Republic . oddly enough , the game , similar to world of Warcraft , require a whopping lot of graphic and cpu to play well . I originally have a 3 + year old atus video card . I figure upgrade to the nvidium 430 would be plenty good . . on graph it show to be quite a bit faster than my old card . for some reason though , I could not get better than 10fp in high quality mode . I turn down to lowest setting and get around 30fp , sometimes less . I also use the CUDA core of nvidium for Adobe product , namely after effect and Premiere . apparently the ATI card be not utilize much by those product . it be a shame because ATI card be typically more powerful for less money than the nVidia card . at any rate , I need a bump . I read that this card be basically a 570 reject . . something be not quite up to snuff for 570 branding , but it be a bit better than the original 560tus due to more core -lrb- but less ram -rrb- . because I use the cuda core for adobe product , I figure the extra 64 core would be worth it . it be only slightly more expensive than the original 560ti anyway . well , bust this out today -lrb- do 1 day shipping and it get here in 1 day -rrb- and holy smoke . . I set the setting on the highest thinking I would be lucky to get 30fp . . I be pull 100 + fp on full setting , although in some area it drop down to 50 or so . still . that be a huge improvement over the previous card . I do not expect it to be nearly that high . I like that I can control the setting too . . I can turn off the auto-fan and bump it up all the way if I want to . little loud do that , but my CPU fan be louder when I game . +754 GraphicsCard POS 5 the easiest and most efficient way to hook up a 3rd monitor with a external VGA card . work immediately - very easy installation - even a girl can make this hookup +986 GraphicsCard NEU 3 although you can connect four monitor to this card it really only give you two really wide display . the Windows task bar span across the two main monitor and maximize a window will also span it across two of the monitor . it seem that they could do some software trick to make it appear to be four separate display from the Window 's side . other than that it work well , do not seem to get too warm and the display be crisp and clear . +798 GraphicsCard POS 4 this video card perform great !!! too bad my corsair caviar green hdd be too slow , because this video card can play max on bf3 and mw3 no problem . the lag be the result of my hdd , but I be upgrade to corsair force ssd soon . this be a great video card . very large , though . take up the slot adjacent to it on the motherboard . +524 GraphicsCard POS 5 receive it on time come in the original box withe instalation cd . instalation be easy and indeed the 3d experience be great +895 GraphicsCard POS 5 what can I say other than the title ? this card have play any game I have throw at it without issue . Crysis 1 and 2 , L.A. Noire , Deus ex : human revolution , starcraft 2 , Dragon Age : origin , mass effect , Batman : Arkham Asylum , Darksiders , and the list go on . I be somewhat hesitant to get it when I do because Nvidia 's and ATI 's next gen card be about to come out -lrb- or be come out -rrb- , but I be glad I do not bother wait . I especially like that this card come with displayport 1.1 , so its future proof -lrb- though I would have prefer 1.2 -rrb- . my HP zr22w -lrb- 22-inch lcd @ 1080p -rrb- can run at a 72Hz refresh rate use the DisplayPort connector . +802 GraphicsCard NEU 3 for the price I guess it work fine . ca not play cod4 very laggy idk what that guy be talk about . . but Team Fortress 2 work fine . Counter strike : Source work fine too . sometimes lag . . +724 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card work great for all title of game and across multiple display . you may not get to run they on multiple display at the highest resolution , but who really give a crap . unless you have multiple 27 + inch high re screen . this be for the moderate gamer that take they graphic seriously , but know that they dont have to have the most expensive equipment to be a serious gamer . this be more then efficient to run all current title and future title perfectly fine . just make sure that you have a active display port to dvi adapter to get that third monitor working . you will have to play with the in game and Catalyst control setting to get the graphic card to perform just right , but after you do that you will see the difference . crossfire would be great with two of these card if you have the pcie room and a support motherboard . Hope this review help anyone thinking of get a great graphic card at a minimal price . this card be huge , so make sure you case have ample room , and this will take up two slot so besure you have enough room . +361 GraphicsCard NEU 3 I have be use this adapter for about a week now and it be work , but it chew up most of my 4gb of RAM . I be go to upgrade to 8gb to see if that fix the lagging problem I be experience right now . unfortunately , I be use it for a trading set up off my laptop and I literally can not afford to have any lag time or slowness . my trading platform keep bang up against max memory available . I 'll update after I upgrade RAM to see if performance improve . if you have a more static need for a additional monitor , I would say this would not be a problem , but for a trader , this cost effective solution could be a very costly one indeed . +178 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I also be experience the black screen with sound loop crash . I have a 650 watt Antec PSU and have have no issue with my msus 460 . I have write to Sapphire to RMA , and may have to send it back to Amazon . I would not recommend this card . +617 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy this from Amazon ... Prime , no shipping charge , 249.99 ... this be a very powerful video card . I can fly stutter free in MSFS X. this card overclock like a champ . I have mine at a clock speed of 1175 Mhz ... there be no over heating problem and everything run smoothly , no blue screen . the temp be under 50 degree c , and the fan be quiet . +705 GraphicsCard POS 5 I be not a nvidium fan neither AMD . I simply buy what it be best at the moment . period one thing that I learn be wait enough for get the right card so that be why I do not buy the 7970 even when I already buy the 6970 . I be run starcraft 2 and battlefield 3 without any problem with low temp and insane fp -lrb- sc2 at 150fps avergage -rrb- . my main concern be that my box come on a weird state . it seem like a open box item however my card have\/runs and do everything be suppose to . besides that I do not have any con . check my picture to see how do the box look like when I open it +461 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy this on the 14th and receive it on the 15th . the card be very good , and have a dual bio switch . shader be unlock easily by just flip the bio switch . the temperature be around 37-38 at idle and max be around 61 degree while play crysis and the witcher 2 on max setting . this card average around 40 fp on very high setting when use Crysis Benchmark . overall , this be a excellent card and I be very satisfied . +481 GraphicsCard POS 4 save a lot of time use three pc be the same time . no need to change cable . +454 GraphicsCard NEG 2 I be unaware that the 520 be the low end of the 500 series . so , I do not receive the graphical upgrade from that of my old 8600 card . even though this card have double the memory from my old 8600 , there be no improvement . +148 GraphicsCard POS 5 I be skeptical that this would work after have be down the road of update a old computer and run into incompatibility issue at every turn . nothing could have be easier - just put in the card and off and run right away -lrb- after a few software update -rrb- . I migrate from xp to win 7 on a IBM NetVista PC . as other have state on here , make sure you meet the 300W minimum power supply - luckily I have a 400w supply on hand . this do work with Windows 7 even though I find conflict information here and elsewhere . +60 GraphicsCard POS 5 this work well with my atus agp8x for multiple monitor in window 7 . the driver work flawlessly alongside the ATI Catalyst control Center and add a whole new life to my 3.2 GHz HT Intel motherboard . it also work with xp on another partition . +721 GraphicsCard POS 4 this product solve audio and video problem with window 7 upgrade on a old computer . also get rid of 100 % CPU Usage when run video like on youtube . great product for the price . I have trouble find one available on the internet , cudo 's to Amazon ... +995 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have try various card over the last few year , try home theater computer and this card will work . SOME just will not do it , SAME with s video . card come with a low profile bracket also . I put it a old dell optiplex business type computer , so it have to be low profile . it would probably be smart to put a small $ 2.00 fan on it and would still be silent , scew look like they would screw into into heat sink . Plays need for speed most want on large screen ok too . Super upgrade for ancient computer . +659 GraphicsCard POS 4 I be look for a card to handle everyday task and adventure type game . this card do ok , but do run a little warm . I have a pcus version of the same card in a old HP workstation . when I play book of Unwritten tale on the HP , there be visual artifact -lrb- vertical and\/or horizontal black line -rrb- in some scene . I think it might be because it be push a 33mhz pcus slot to the max . I try this PCI Express card on another computer -lrb- Dell -rrb- , and run the game on it . same result . I do not know what create the line , and maybe it be just this one game , but it do not do quite what I want . I can not really fault the card too much , other than for this one game , but I can not give it five star , either . +715 GraphicsCard POS 5 absolutely great Looks , especially when lie next to each other in a 2-way slus , or as a individual too . ftw version overclock like crazy , and yet very stable 82 degree f , after 30 minute of Furry stress test , with 61 % fan speed and 85 % GPU load . I just buy 2 of they , because I want a slus system on my very first computer rig that I be building , even though I do not play game , but just want to watch 1080p hd movie on my computer or on my 55 '' hdtv , and surf on the internet . these gpus allow I to both surf on the internet and watch movie on my hdtv at the same time with no sweat , and hardly with any noise !!! con : my very first rig that I ever try to build currently consist of : Samsung 23 '' b550v Monitor : 270 Cooler Master Excalibur fan x 3 , 2 of they combine with Corsair H80 : 40 Cooler Master 80 x 80 x 15 mm fan : 10 Cooler Master mega flow fan x 1 : 15 Cooler Master haf x full Tower Computer Case : 180 Corsair AX850 PSU : 185 Corsair 16 GB Dominator gt 2133 mhz : 240 Corsair liquid cooling h80 : 90 CoolIntel i7-3770k : 290 Intel SSD 520 180 gb : 225 Asus Maximus V Motherboard : 210 Sony Bluray Burner\/Player : 100 Hitachi 2TB Internal Hard drive 7200 RPM SATA III : 150 Windows 7 : 100 Cyberlink PowerDVD Bluray Software : 100 EVGA GTX 670 For-The-Win 2-Way SLI : 840 I originally budget myself for $ 1,500 computer set . do anyone know how I end up spend $ 1,500 more , total $ 3,000 , for my very first Computer Rig ? other thought : I can still play Sim City 2000 in my set-up without a problem . I just buy civilization v and shogun 2 to test what the my gtx 670 2-way slus can do . I also pre-order SC II : wing of Liberty for the same reason . these Cards make and feel my computer rig great !!! I highly recommend these if you be build you very first computer Rig Too !!! thanks . +89 GraphicsCard POS 5 this video card be the inexpensive answer for those who wish a Windows 7 graphic card in older pc 's . I install in my HP D5200 and it install flawlessly use the Windows 7 driver . no donwload , no hassle . love it - I be order a second . +786 GraphicsCard POS 5 just want to take a moment to discuss this card . I find this card to be extremely affordable and for what you pay for you really get a lot of out it . this card take a older machine and turn it into a pretty good one . I like to play older game and have a spare pc next to my work computer . before I only have graphic through my motherboard but this card take thing to a whole new level lol . +522 GraphicsCard POS 5 the Sapphire Radeon HD Radeon 7870 OC be the perfect overall match . a Sapphire low power consumption , a modest oc , gaming max at 1920x1080 or lower , newest series and a amazing price . I have two small con , when run high end gaming the fan be medium noise level . note I be complain about medium fan noise not high . I run my NZXT full tower at low fan speed . when a high end game start run you can hear a boost in the GPU 's noise level . I have hear of game issue 's with the new 7000 series , but I have not run into any and from what I have hear they should all be patch in time . I would not be surprise if this GPU could run game on high at 2560x1600 and would definitely easily do it with crossfire . a lot of tech seem to underrate the performance of card . my Radeon 6770 run a native 1680x1050 , but it be able to handle 1920X1080 at high setting and catalyst overscan to make the display fit the screen , it could even run Ultra , but performance would take a small hit and I be sure it would have overheate with extend play if I have do so . my last complaint be catalyst do not have a power consumption section which be strange because my Radeon 6770 do . the real seller be the price 300 with oc . Main competition be gtx 570 superclock at 280 . twenty buck less , but big power consumption difference , probably longer , older model , worse performance . Radeon 7870 OC be better and ultimately cheaper . when add the cost of a higher cost psu and higher power bill you easily get you money back . very satisfied and will crossfire when the price drop even more . +940 GraphicsCard NEG 2 I have nothing but problem with this card . it start with bsod 's while web browsing . it appear to have be a AMD driver issue which be fix by use 3rd party uninstaller -lrb- AMD 's uninstaller do not work well -rrb- and reinstall CCC . then I start experience random system freeze while gaming that require a reboot . for I , this happen only in Skyrim and Shogun 2 . apparently Tera and other game also have problem . the whole hd 7xxx line appear to have issue with shogun 2 which Creative assembly be try to fix -lrb- check they support forum -rrb- . in the midst of all of the system freeze , I start get raid corruption and reinstall Windows 7 . the freezing problem persist even after a fresh install . Sapphire recommend a 3rd rma . AMD tell I that they be aware of the problem with the hd 7xxx line and shogun 2 and Skyrim . they say that because the driver be new the card be bind to have compatibility problem , and that I should be patient and wait for the next driver release . these problem may occur only with certain build . or it might be the case that they produce a lot of defective card . whatever the case , I be back to my old card which be work flawlessly and I will be buy a different brand next time . I will say this , if you can get the card to work . it be great . Witcher 2 , bf3 , and Crysis 2 look amazing with this card -lrb- there be some flicker issue -rrb- . however , because of the problem I have , I can not recommend it to anyone . the 2 star be because of how well it run some of my game , but the problem I be have be just unacceptable . note : I be rating the product , but I give Amazon 5 star for they amazing customer support . I request a rma at 7pm and receive my new card the next day without any hassle . I will be buy all of my computer component from Amazon from now on and will be recommend that all of my friend do the same . they be second to none . the card be one of the worst experience I have have with a product . Amazon customer support be one of the best customer support experience I have have . as of 5\/11\/12 , I would also like to add that with the advent of Nvidias GTX 670 , you can expect the price of this -lrb- $ 360 -rrb- and all ATI card to drop pretty soon as the gtx 670 undercut ATI 's card in a performance per price scale . +30 GraphicsCard POS 5 use in my sr-2 with dual xeon hexacore , water chill cooling , 48 gig of ram , 9 hd 's 4 solid state one 10,000 rpm raptor , and a few 3 terabyte storage unit . aqua tuning water chiller , 2 huge german e.k. space water cool radiator two iwakus pump over clocked mb to 4.56 mhz this be my 2nd add on 680 also water cool by same system , I use it for render , blaze fast ... crazy fast . . use it in photo shop be unreal ... lightwave render jump at you , I never play game on it ... one more 680 come soon . . +878 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have have the card for 3 day with 0 issue and it be extremely fast . 60 fp in crysis 2 max out high re pac . 100-200 fp skyrim max out -lrb- all at 1920x1200 -rrb- . I be a little worried I would have to RMA since I have hear people say that some card be have issue , but I think I get a good one . pro : - fastest card I have ever own by a mile . - price !! some people complain 400 $ be expensive and it be since I be just a college student , BUT the price to performance ratio make it the best gpus on the market to date . - I have zero fan sound con : no con , only the fact that some card have have issue but in most people case they rma process be simple and fast thanks to evga be a great company . even if I have to RMA my card later on I would still rate this card a 5\/5 . +352 GraphicsCard NEG 1 buy this card for a small form factor computer . while the card itself may function great , it be certainly not a low profile card , and require a full size slot , which be not available in my small form factor computer . I be not sure why that it be call low Profile , then ! perhaps `` low Profile Ready '' be the key , here , but there be no half-size bracket , nor would the card have work with one . more a review on the manufacturer 's labeling , than anything else . even a sticker on the box say it be low Profile . +674 GraphicsCard NEG 2 this be a ok graphic card . the build be great and the low profile a charm . but know that this be PCI NOT pcie -lrb- express -rrb- . pcus be much slower than pcie . so even think this graphic card be 512mb 8400g ddr3 it be still slower than my old 256mb 8400g pcie . they be different connector type . my biggest beef be that it do not allow my computer to shut off and it be very very laggy . it could just be the specific card i receive , though . +119 GraphicsCard POS 5 this product be perfect for I - upgrade to a 2005 pc - work perfectly with Windows xp and ubuntu\/linux 10.04 and upward . it offload the CPU and enable the system to have more capacity . I be unable to say how much gain I get but I can definitely `` see '' it . I do not play game where the 3d be use . I only view you tube stuff and video clip from news report , use wmv and html5 etc type of video . with Windows I have to download the driver or load the CD for the driver . for Linux the system automatically load the require driver when boot . how simple be that !!!!! +160 GraphicsCard POS 5 last time I go with AMD be when ATI be there own company and the card I have be a radeon 9550 with 128mb , it be god awful no speed no nothing period . Games run so badly on it that I miss out on alot of it . I recently replace my 9600gso from xfx and it be capacitor blow or melt , I do not want xfx or a nvidium card anymore and give up , see review for the 6770 , and be curious about it , so I jump in and take the plunge again , and be happy with the product . it can run alot of my game at a good resolution and setting max . +174 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card be amazing , it handle everything I throw at it . Mine do not come with the unlock shader dual bio -lrb- I even try flash it multiple way , it didnt work -rrb- , but I get what I pay for . I hear it be a hit and miss . the accessory be good too ! HDMI cable , Crossfire cable , dvi to vga adapter , and dirt 3 game . I suggest you sign up for the sapphire select club as they have some awesome give aways once in a while . I can play Crysis 2 on max setting , 1680 \* 1050 . it look AMAZING on my 50 inch television . I want to crossfire another one with this one and it will be well worth the money . Tom 's hardware recommend this one as the best high end card with the best value for it be price , and I agree . +903 GraphicsCard POS 5 I first build my pc back in 2007 . it be now a 5 year old machine , which be probably ancient by today 's standard . it be only get a Intel core 2 duo overclock at 2.9 GHz , 2GB RAM , with a ATI Radeon 2600XT 256MB card run on Windows xp sp3 , all of these power by a 500 watt power supply . the best I could play before be game at 800x600 set at the lowest . sometimes , modern game would not even play properly and would just crash I or reboot the entire system because the ATI card could not cope with the game and its temperature would shoot up beyond 100c ! for 5 year I really do not know why the reboot keep on happen . I use to think that it be just my processor that could not handle the game . I also think that it be my power supply . five year later , I finally decide to upgrade at least one part of my computer and I decide that it should be my graphic card . I do a little research and find out that my old ASUS P5HW Delux be only strong enough to upgrade to the gtx 550 ti and it will not be able to handle the better version of this video card . fortunately , the 550 ti be quite affordable at $ 120 so I buy it from here . I order the thing on a Friday and I receive it Thursday . Pretty fast delivery for free shipment . installation of the card be easy because I already research how to do it before hand . the first thing I do be uninstall my old ATI driver . I also download the latest Nvidia driver -lrb- 301.42 at the time -rrb- just to be sure that everything be up to date . with everything else ready , I unplug the pc and remove my old ATI Radeon 2600XT card , which I donate to someone who do not have a graphic card . the 550 ti be definitely a lot bigger than the ATI 2600XT , probably by 25 % in length and size . at first I be scare that it would not fit into the slot , but it actually do ! the box of the 550 Ti also contain a converter of sort . originally , the 550 Ti need a 6-pin connector to plug into the power supply . if you do not have a 6-pin connector but at least have a 4-pin one , that will work . just plug the converter thing into the 550 ti then connect it to the power supply and you be set ! after physically install the card , it be now time to install the driver . I plug the computer back in and power it up . I hear the initial beep and be relieve that it actually accept the 550 ti ! after get to my desktop , I quickly install the driver that I download earlier . after that , I restart the pc and everything go well . as a experiment , I play Grand theft auto 4 just to see how the 550 ti would do . this be the first time that I crank everything to high ! high shadow , reflection , everything else ! I only use 2x anti-aliasing since that be good enough for I and I do not want to abuse the new card that much . as the game world load , I be amaze at how much beautiful everything look ! highly detail texture , reflection on car , smooth gameplay ! wow , this be not the same gta4 that I use to play at the lowest setting ! it be as if it be a totally new and wonderful creation ! I play for 30 minute , then a hour , and then 6 hour just fool around in the world of GTA . I even use a few zombie mod just to turn all the pedestrian into zombie ! it be very fun that I actually forget about the time . when I check the time , it be already 2 AM . I have be play the game on high setting for 7 hour and not a single crash ! while playing , I also use gpuz to monitor my temperature . I find out that while not play anything , the card be at around 35c , but while play intense game like gta4 , it go up to around 56c . remember , my old ATI 2600XT use to idle at 56c and go beyond 100c during intense game -lrb- which end up reboot the system -rrb- . it be amazing that the 550 ti can handle all the stress without have the ability to cook a egg ! the next day i try other game and it be the same , smooth at high setting , no crash . I consider myself as a `` hardcore '' gamer who can play 8 or more hour a day if time permit , and I be very very happy with the gtx 550 ti ! hopefully I 'll never encounter a problem with this card within the 30-day limit because as far as performance be concern , it be work perfectly ! if you be someone with a ancient computer like mine and you think that you can use a little graphical upgrade without have the replace everything but still play the latest game at high setting -lrb- but at lower resolution -rrb- , the 550 Ti will not let you down ! the only thing leave for I to do be to someday build a entirely new system , probably in 2 or 3 year when my old machine be not capable of handle anything that the modern gaming world offer anymore . the 550 ti be probably the final stop for 5 year old computer like mine , and it be really good ! +926 GraphicsCard POS 5 ... but can actually have issue play older game . let I explain . on newer game that stress the card , this thing be amazing . framerate be high and they stay there . everything be silky smooth and it look amazing . that be the intent of this card , to be use for newer game and as yet unreleased game on into the future , but a lot of we like to go back and play we old game as well and that be where this card can have very minor issue . for some reason , the power usage on this card when it come to old game can be a little too conservative . when play wow or portal 2 for example , the card almost seem to say `` this be a older game so I be just go to phone it in for a while '' and run at between half and 75 % of it be max clock speed . at those speed it be USUALLY -lrb- as in 99 % of the time -rrb- enough to keep the framerate right where you want they , but if anything sudden happen the fp can drop into the mid 40 on game that should always be lock at 60 + . I be sure this be just a software issue and will be fix in subsequent driver update , but it be not something I be aware of go in . and yes , I have do my research and have mess with setting but there be no option to increase the minimum clock , just the maximum clock . I upgrade to this from a gtx 580 3gb and on older game my 580 actually perform slightly better -lrb- technically speak -rrb- with consistently higher framerate . to do that it use a lot more power , create a lot more heat , and be a lot noisier but I kind of expect that out of a cut edge video card . this thing be whisper quiet , create very little heat and sip power but I would trade some of that for a option to keep my card constantly operate at a certain level so my fp would never drop . one really cool new addition to help with this be adaptive vsync , which do make all my gripe barely noticeable . I have switch to it instead of run normal vsync with triple buffering , and I must say that I prefer it . my game seem more responsive and even if the fp drop into the mid 40s it be not as jarring as when it happen with the normal vsync . all my older game do seem smoother with this setting enable -lrb- despite they technically lower framerate -rrb- and I recommend give it a try . as far as overclocking go , I use precision x and it work as advertise . these new Kepler card overclock differently than 400 or 500 series card , and instead of set the clock speed you instead increase the offset which increase how high the card can go when it need to . I have not really push it too hard , but I be currently run the GPU clock +140 mhz and the memory clock +450 mhz with a power target of 120 % and it do very well when stress . I be still give this 5 star because I know that the very , very minor gripe I have will be fix with driver update and this card be amazing when the clock speed go up . if you be in the market , you will not find a better card than this at a similar pricepoint . +678 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card be one of the best hd 7850s out there . it run quiet and chew through just about every game at max setting . only a couple of the most demand game drop below 60fp and even those game -lrb- the witcher 2 , Crysis , Metro 2033 -rrb- still run very well . get it . you will not be disappoint . +939 GraphicsCard NEG 1 well they work well ... for about 25-30 day then they just die I keep get BSOD so now im head over to XFX as they seem to just be better quality and they seem to just have all around better support +577 GraphicsCard POS 5 the adapter card be install on a 2004 vintage computer run Windows xp . the video be now of similar quality to a brand new computer . +937 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have a Gateway dx4850 27eu , with a i5 2300 . I be a noob when it come to upgrade and Gateway really do not offer much help . I add a gt 430 card to it and the fp in swtor with the setting on low stunk ; it be playable but wonky enough it bother I . due to the limited 300w power supply in the dx4850 , I be go to have to do some upgrade before I could even think about get a decent graphic card . I start with the power supply : Corsair Enthusiast Series 750-Watt 80 plus bronze certified power supply compatible with Intel Core i3 , i5 , i7 and AMD platform - cmpsu-750txv2 I probably could have go with a 650w or maybe even a 550 but it be only a few dollar more for the 750 . this power supply be about a inch longer than the stock 300w power supply in the dx4850 ; it be snug but there be plenty of room around the fan . it work great ! next be the graphic card : EVGA GeForce GTX560 Ti 448 Cores FTW 1280 MB GDDR5 , Dual-DualLink DVI , HDMI , DisplayPort , SLI Graphics Cards 012-p3-2066-kr I have plenty of power for a card but space be a issue in the dx4850 . this card be around 9 '' long and fit perfect - any longer and I would have have to buy longer power cable to make room for exist short power cable in the case . I get those sweet upgrade in and then notice that the case be get hot , really hot . so , I need fan : Antec pro 92mm double Ball Bearing Case fan with 3-pin and 4-pin connector I get this fan for the case , it connect with the 3 pin -lrb- there be only one wire connect to the 3 pin connector -rrb- to the mother board and a 4 pin to the power supply . it be much more powerful than the dx4850 stock fan and work great , the screw be kinda tough to get in but I highly recommend it . since my case be so hot and the fan be pretty inexpensive I also add this fan : Antec Cyclone Blower Case Fan for any expansion slot this fan be also easy to install , it be powerful and help vent the graphic card great . the air blow out the back , great little fan . all this be cheaper than buy a new computer with the same spec and the end result be great . I go from barely run Star Wars The Old Republic on low setting to where I can run it smoothly on high setting . the heat make I a little nervous , this be a Gateway and all , so I run swtor on medium setting and it be awesome ! +816 GraphicsCard NEG 1 this card have be give I problem from day 1 . a cold boot would show nothing on the screen but the rest of the computer be work . even keyboard 's num lock key light up which mean it be get through the bio . only way to get it to show anything from a cold boot be to reset the system after it be be run for a few minute . it seem to happen only if I cold boot after the system have be off for more than a hour . system get out of sleep or hibernation be also a problem . nothing show on the screen unless i reboot , mean I lose everything in the memory . when it work it work . fast . cool fan be also very loud . if you must get a agp , I would get the 4670 instead . it be true the 4670 will not get you a significant performance gain but i would think that it will not have any of these boot-up problem . skip this card . call sapphire be also a torture . i never get through . again , skip this p.o.s. +591 GraphicsCard POS 4 will play all the game , maybe not at the highest detail . no complaint , i need a more powerful card so i return this one . +47 GraphicsCard POS 5 buy it ! you will not regret it . Knocks every game out of the park . I run everything on it be highest setting with no problem . pair two of these in slus and you will be good to go for the next couple of year . +333 GraphicsCard POS 5 replace my gtx550tus with this gtx560tus 448 core card and see a noticeable difference in FSX . max out both graphic score at 7.9 on Windows experience index . by comparison the 550tus give I a 6.4 on graphic . use Corsair 600W psu . card and psu both fit in Gateway DX4840 case just fine . I 'll have no need to o\/c this card ever . . +850 GraphicsCard POS 5 run bf3 on Ultra on a 24 '' 1920 x 1200 Dell monitor with 8 gb of ram . this be a very good GPU . also , the GPU fan keep the GPU very very cool . amazing card for the price ! +900 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I purchase the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1gb gddr5 PCI Express 2.0 for a client that want a high end work computer that she would not have to discard in a year because it will no longer run the application for she business . the card work great at first and score a 6.8 on the Windows experience index -lrb- weus -rrb- but after only one week the card die and prevent the pc from boot . I remove the card plug into intergraded hdmus and fire the computer and it be work like a charm . I end up buy a different card locally and return the old card to the vender . +894 GraphicsCard POS 5 this graphic card be powerful and more than satisfy my need . it be very easy to install the software and set up . just plug into you motherboard , load the software and you be ready to go ! I would recommend this product and this seller to all . a + + + + +587 GraphicsCard POS 5 ever since I switch from a desktop to a laptop , one of my two desktop monitor be leave unused as the laptop 's graphic card could only connect to one of they at a time . this be a acceptable scenario , as I could just use the laptop 's screen as the second monitor in the setup . however , as time go on , I want to do something with my unused desktop monitor , and I find this device . it will not work without the proper driver , which come in a cd . because my laptop do not have a CD drive , I quickly find the driver on the StarTech.com website -lrb- easy to find driver -- another bonus ! -rrb- . as soon as I install they and plug in the device , my unused monitor spring to life for the first time in month . the image quality be great , but not perfect . I occasionally see wavy line on the monitor connect by the device , but these line be only visible when I be try to find something wrong with the display . plus , base on what I have read , mild image issue like that be to be expect and be likely a limitation of usb external graphic card . finally , the price of this adapter be great compare to other offer similar resolution . I would recommend this device to anybody . +346 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have review many graphic card but this 7970 definitely take the KAKE it be the KrispyKreme for sure . pro - Overclocks nicely take every game on the market @ highest setting - no problem idle around 40c - and hit around 51c on load - super cool temp card \* cons - Super huge . do not come in Pink this be definitely a must have for the pc GAMING MASTER race ! +205 GraphicsCard POS 5 good Video Card , especially for a half height card but it will not run the new very high tech game that be out today . for most of the older game or general picture use it be great just will not keep up with the new high demand of the very new game . +400 GraphicsCard POS 4 this card perform quite well under almost every circumstance . my win 7 64bit machine love it . the only problem be at installation . this card be freak HUGE . I have to literally remove part of the case to make this fit . but once it fit , this card work perfectly . no need to even overclock it to play almost every game i have at the highest of the high setting . it start to run into fram rate issue when I set Skyrim 's setting to the absolute most insane possible . 16x aa etc. . anyways , totally worth every penny since I be not a hard core gamer . +684 GraphicsCard NEG 2 I purchase this card to give my Dell Dimension 8250 the capability to run two monitor simultaneously , and provide I the ability to have double the desktop space for multiple window . the GeForce 6200 provide this capability , but come with a number of surprise . the card install easily . before install it , I uninstall my old driver and old ATI card . power up with the 6200 be flawless , and the two monitor come up just fine . after configure the display for Dualview use the NVIDIA Control Panel , everything work fine - I think . after a few hour of use I notice that when I drag a window across one screen , or from one screen to the other , artifact in the form of window edge `` slice '' be leave on either or both screen . this be very annoying . I find two way to eliminate these artifact - use the 6200 in single monitor mode -lrb- which defeat the purpose of buy the 6200 in the first place -rrb- , or configure Windows to `` do not show window contents while drag '' . I choose the latter . the second surprise with the 6200 be that the monitor I be use occasionally black out for about 1-2 seconds when I have multiple window open and be typically save a photo or file to my hard drive . the screen come back after a second or two and the operation complete , but the small `` File Save '' window be corrupt instead of be close . this happen quite a bit , and I have not find a way to eliminate the problem . I have be on the evga forum and member have suggest several thing to try - I have try they all to no avail . I have also be in contact with evga support - they tech be prompt and have offer several good thing to try , include use they tool to remove all previous display driver and install the latest driver for this card . I have do all that and have not solve these two problem . so as it stand now , I can use two monitor , but the display occasionally go black while perform a utility or housekeeping task . nothing really bad happen , the task complete , but it be disconcert to have you display black out in the middle of a operation . this card should not do this . I be not satisfy with it and will look for a different card . +606 GraphicsCard POS 5 run Battlefield 3 on Ultra at 40-45fp and with frap run at 35-40fp . should have get 2 and run they in Crossfire but this be a budget build and I be 100 % satisfied with the result . +819 GraphicsCard NEU 3 it work okay but to use it in the manner I intend -lrb- multiple monitor -rrb- , I have to buy a $ 30 adapter for one of the port . the product description do not tell you about that . +999 GraphicsCard POS 5 it be a great product vary smooth graphic and not loud at all , all though when i have jest the right amount of power game would shut my computer down , so i have to buy a new power supply with more watt and that do the trick . +665 GraphicsCard POS 5 I just install the Classified and it be a amazing card . every test that I have run against it state the same thing - this card be at the extreme end of we scale . please note that this card require three power connector -lrb- two 8-pin , one 6-pin -rrb- . this may cause a problem if you chassis be limit in space . I think my haf-x chassis be more than sufficient , but the SeaSonic cable require I to remove the side air redirector . this VGA be heavy ! I have never handle any card with this much weight . my chassis do not align perfectly with the screw hole , so I have to push the chassis slot 1\/16 '' closer . I do not want to risk anything more in case the stress would cause a pin misalignment on the card . the DVI output be simply stunning and my monitor now love I . I have never have the ability to use my monitor 's native resolution before . I have the HP zr30w arrive today and I can not wait to see what this card can do with a quality monitor . bottom line , this card be worth the money . +759 GraphicsCard POS 5 work great out of the box for video via the hdmus connection when connect to a Mitsubishi 73 '' hdtv . to get hdmi audio to work , I have to download the latest audio driver from the Realtek -lrb- not Visiontek -rrb- site . +967 GraphicsCard POS 5 I need to get a video card because my on-board video be not enough memory so I order the 8400g , installation be very easy , all I need to do be change the bracket to low profile and install the card and load the driver . +801 GraphicsCard POS 5 I be able to adapt my old Dell Dimension 4400 computer to run dual monitor : one for the desk and one for the flat panel above my treadmill so I can watch streaming movie while I work out . it have just enough resolution to run both monitor in native resolution which make they very nice to use , whether for movie watch or productivity . this be one of my great computer stuff buy ! +582 GraphicsCard POS 5 great product . I recently update my Pentium 4 base system to Vista and although it be ok , it be not exactly fast . the Vista experience rating suggest my graphic card be limit performance and so I decide to upgrade it before go to the expense of buy a new pc . I want a agp card that would support 2 d-sub monitor . this card fit the bill at a really low price for the memory supply . installation be easy . driver work fine and my pc be now noticably faster . overall I be very pleased . +224 GraphicsCard POS 5 smooth and Powerfull Video Card . run with no hesitation mw3 , battlefield 3 and many more with decent frap . 7.8 score in Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit , experience . suggest to use along with a SSD like OCZ Vertex 4 to gain performance . +53 GraphicsCard NEG 1 this card suck . sorry to be blunt but it do the driver mess up on I 4 time i blow 2 card it black screen on any 3d app and during driver update it freeze all the time didnt over clock they never touch they besides insert they in case on future mark they barely out preformed the gtx 580 and on some case the 580 finish ahead i have the same issue with previous 6 series card so maybe my board hate AMD but there performance isnt enough to warrant I keep they over my 580 super clocked and the gtx 580 isnt give any issue i think for amd i will bid they farewell until they can fix there amazing driver issue the minute there release good point - erm they look ok i guess bad point - bad driver usual amd error - bad performance consider this be mean to be the next card up from the gtx 580 i dont see it in performance my gtx actually finish higher on alot of game when i finally get a work card install after 8 hour ... , noise omg there loud i hate the gtx 580 for be loud because there loud and hot but these be loud as in off puttingly loud i also find i need to contantly run a 3rd party fan controller for they as they be get to hot and this be in a very well cool pc in a high airflow system haf x sorry for the bad review i dont usually ever give 1 star but i fix and build pc 's i build my pc it could be a board problem with amd i cant really answer that but it seem the driver be the cause i never usually give 1 star or bad review as i believe with computer component its kinda pot luck with gpus i hope you all have better luck with this card than I +568 GraphicsCard POS 5 Gotta say after upgrade this from my 4870 such a biggggg improvement in skyrim and world of warcraft no lag what so ever while play and run hd video in the background . +96 GraphicsCard NEG 2 I recently buy this card to replace a ATI 9600 XT card in my rather elderly pc . with the old card I could run game such as Halo and Diablo II without a problem , but the fan go on on the card . after install the card , neither game would work , and even websurf be painfully slow . I download and install the latest driver software , which do not help . think it might be a defective card I exchange it for another one , which do not change anything . so now I be look for a better agp card , or see if I can replace the fan on the old card . I email evga tech support , and they respond promptly . unfortunately they confirm that they new card be substantially slower than my old card . bummer . +749 GraphicsCard NEG 1 the video card I be attempt to replace be a PNY Geforce gt 240 512 mb . the EVGA GeForce gt 520 1 gb have nowhere near the fp of my old card when play SWTOR . bottom line : EVGA GeForce gt 520 1 gb = 16 frame per second pny geforce gt 240 512 mb = 65 frame per second no visual improvement . +691 GraphicsCard POS 4 decent product for dvi-d output to Apple Monitor - work right out of the box - fit Dell Inspiron 530-s thin frame desktop no adapter for thin frame include - must buy adapter kit +245 GraphicsCard POS 5 I own a old DELL Dimension 2300 with a Celeron processor . year ago I upgrade the audio with a 24-bit sound card , and recently upgrade the memory to the full 1 gig of RAM that it 'll take . I have be work off of the on-board video all this time , however , which do not drive a new lcd hd monitor I be give to it be full 1440 x 900 resolution . I also get addict to a online game which be nearly impossible to play so I need to bring the video a little closer to today 's standard . the Nvidia GeForce 6200 do all of this for I , so if you be in a similar situation , and like I can not afford to go make Bill Gates richer right now then get this card . not only do it make online game play better and drive my lcd monitor at the proper resolution , when I watch dvd on my computer now it seem as if you can reach into the monitor ! the picture be that real . and installation be EASY . if you know how to install a card in you computer then you be all set . I even drag the old CRT monitor out & connect it to the on-board video thinking I would have to select the new card to `` turn it on '' , but when I powered-up the computer both monitor come on ! the software be very user-friendly and contain simple , easy to understand instruction that allow you to adjust nearly every parameter of the card . if I need another card like this I 'll look at EVGA Corporation again FIRST . excellent product . +189 GraphicsCard POS 5 exactly what I expect out of this card . amazingness . Works wonder with my new Sabertooth 990x and AMD FX 6-Core : -rrb- . Plays multiple game simultaneously in high def . +619 GraphicsCard POS 5 First off , I be familiar with computer hardware but be in no mean a tech . I order this graphic card with a Corsair Enthusiast Series 850-Watt 80 plus bronze certified power supply compatible with Intel Core i3 , i5 , i7 and AMD platform - cmpsu-850txv2 while there be not many instruction with the card on how to install I watch enough `` how-to '' video to feel semi comfortable open the computer case and replace the card . as I progress I find out that installation of a pcus express card be a breeze and I have no need to be apprehensive in the first place . Make sure to plug in everything include 2 power cable ! turn on the computer and install the driver with the provide cd and wallum ! I be able to play all the game I want on the highest graphic setting -lrb- shogun 2 and swtor -rrb- . I highly recommend this product ! Update : Make sure to pay attention to the `` Product Dimensions : 12.5 x 3.5 x 6.5 inch . '' the card be very large ! install in my boss computer and have to move a hard drive . however , all go well . +714 GraphicsCard NEG 1 do not buy this card unless you plan on downclock the card . Asus set the clock too high on this card and it will crash if you loop Heaven or game for hour on a graphic intensive game . I have own 2 of these card . one be dead on arrival and the other I just return to Newegg because I keep crash at STOCK setting in Heaven . Asus do not test these card , I can not believe they release this faulty product . check Newegg 's review , I be not the only one that have a problem with this card . pro : silent card even at 80 % fan speed con : Crash at stock setting +381 GraphicsCard POS 4 I get this card after have a Nvidia Geforce 9800 gt for a couple of year and I notice a big improvement in gaming performance and Photoshop render right away . if you need a 1gb + gpu this be definitely the one to get at this point . pro + can not beat the price when compare to the overpriced po that be Nvidia . + Skyrim now play flawlessly on high setting with hd texture mod from nexus -lrb- set texture to 8x normal -rrb- + skyboost enable with only 4gb of ram -lrb- sometimes less . -rrb- + direct x11 if you be still use a dx10 card . + cooling be not a issue . even with my card overclocked and Skyrim max out it stay well below the maximum deg . c + the sleek design be nice to look at if you have a transparent\/lucid housing for you hardware . + Card get here sooner than expect when I buy it from Amazon w free shipping . con - overclocking this card almost be not worth it because for the increase power output and fan noise require it do not give you back much in return . - if you only have one like I do and you be not use the Crossfire technology to Daisy Chain multiple card , you will always feel like you be miss out on something . all in all it be a definite buy . if you can afford to pay out the wazoo for a better card -lrb- be it Nvidia or AMD -rrb- you should do so -lrb- or just get 3 of these and crossfire they . -rrb- but if you be on a budget and this be around you limit you could do allot worse . I hope this be helpful to you . the most important thing to know about this GPU be that it require a adequate power supply . I have a Corsair 850w but most user say all you need be a 600w power supply . in any case you will want to make sure you power supply have 2 6-pin connector to attach to this card . the card come with additional cord in the box . to adapt in case you PS do not have the 2 6-pin connector . +730 GraphicsCard POS 5 I read negative review on anything first and foremost before buy anything . I order this and it be day one but it be work fine . my suggestion to people who say it do not work . a cd come with it , install it , follow the instruction and you will be fine . also make sure that you video card be not a cheap po because although it be a usb hook up the driver communicate the information from the UBS port to the Video card . so I get news for you if its not work you card probably do not have enough memory to support it . I have two monitor hook up with different resolution on each one and they be work well . also do not plug into a usb hub and expect it to work . my hub do not work for anything except keyboard and mouse hook up . I suggest this because if you follow the instruction then there should not be a issue . +405 GraphicsCard POS 5 the video card be ship quickly be easy to install and work fine once I reboot . +74 GraphicsCard POS 5 first thing , let I say this card be a beast . my current set up be : i7 860 lightly overclock @ 3.3 Ghz 8gb ddr3 Ram 128 gb ssd drive gtx 670 Superclocked , overclock with precision x @ +44 mhz gpu clock offset & +654 mhz memory offset -lrb- pretty stable , test so far with bf3 and heaven benchmark -rrb- I be get around 80 + frame rate during gameplay in bf3 and it run smooth . run everything on ULTRA smoothly . so far , this card seem to I like the best `` Bang for you Buck '' as I have see people put it . I understand that the gtx 670 ftw be slightly clock higher a couple mhz , but for 53 $ more you get double the memory . I also understand that most game right will not take advantage of the extra Video Ram , but this card be a great investment now and for the future . another $ 100 for the gtx 680 which benchmark lower than the gtx 670 do not seem like a wise move for I personally , and honestly the ftw version do seem very tempting as I typically want the `` fastest '' GPU I could afford , but as my brother say , why not spend another $ 50-ish buck and get double the Video Ram , especially for game in the future . note that you can easily run a stable overclock of this card to be faster than both the FTW edition and the gtx 680 , but with this edition you get double the v-ram . the choice be yours , but one thing for sure , this card be great . 5 Stars for new-egg and they customer service with great\/fast shipping and 5 Stars for EVGA and this high end graphic card . key statement here : BEST BANG for your buck ... period . +328 GraphicsCard POS 5 pro : the evga geforce gtx680 sc + 02g-p4-2682-kr best Video Card on the market today use the Nvidea reference design , it be already factory over clocked , and come with great warranty . this card extremely powerful , beat AMD HD 7970 in most game and use less power . I be lucky to grab one of these card . con : no accessory or game include . +727 GraphicsCard POS 5 so , I use to play Video Games on Consoles and make the transition to pc but I only have a hd 4880 and my game lag horrible , unless on lowest setting . since I have use this I can play World of Warcraft on good setting with no lag , Skyrim on High Settings with no lag whatsoever : d , and mw3 play amazingly on good setting . on all of these setting I have be able to record with no extra lag with frap , if you want to see for yourself , -lrb- ... -rrb- great product ! +868 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have 2 of these graphic card in my gamer in slus seem to fly through game and anything else I choose to do my monitor be a 50 inch plasma so movie be awesome as well . the only problem I have be the game borderland 2 be suppose to come with the purchase but I think amazon will send that to I . if you be build a gamer these card run in slus will not disappoint you I recieve they installation go well and they stay cool and perform well out of the box . +755 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be a great card , it max every game i have try so far on ultra setting at 1920 x 1200 resolution , wow on ultra even get around 62 fp with this , higher when in a instance +15 GraphicsCard POS 5 very happy with this graphic card . ive bean excite to buy this thing and im happy i finally do also im glad i buy this over the XFX one . the XFX card be annoying and the sound resemble a hair dryer . when use this card my case fan and hard drive be actually louder . i love this card so much and i recommend it to all . the performance be great and do not draw as much power as i think . be aware if you have a matx board that you may block a few sata port . but not a big deal , one more note the card be beautiful also do not get a dirt 3 code but that not a problem i do not but the card for the game . hope you all enjoy the card as much as i be . +312 GraphicsCard NEG 1 the first 670 I receive do not work use HDMI . no biggie , I just use DVI instead , however it red-screen on I twice . rmae it through amazon , have a second one go to I ... the second card be worse . it keep give I driver failure message nomatter which driver I install or how many time I clean the old driver use sweeper . it would also black screen every couple of minute . found lot of other have problem with the 670 online as well . I only get the 670 because the 680 be always out of stock , or people be ask way too much over retail . I be lucky enough to snag a 680 superclocked today for retail price while I be on amazon rmaing my second card . Problem solve ! ca not wait for my 680 to get here . system : i7-930 Asus p58d mobo corsair h50 6gb of Gskill memory corsair 750w p crucial m4 128gb ssd +761 GraphicsCard POS 5 I be very eager to get this card , and when it get to my house today I could not wait to tear into the box . I upgrade from a XFX Radeon HD 5770 . I completely uninstall my catalyst control center , and everything associate with it . then , I install a fresh install of catalyst control center . I have not overclock this card at all . the first thing I notice , my 5770 run about 35c idle , and run to about 45c while play game . this card , however , idle around 37-40c , and during a game get to around 47c . the card stay quiet , which give it one star . I decide to test this on a few game . the first game I try be Grand theft auto iv . there be immediate problem . the game keep say I be close to exceed the memory usage of the video card , even though I be nowhere close to it at all -lrb- 282mb out of 3096mb -rrb- . also , the game would not let I change from a 800x600 resolution because it think that I be exceed the memory usage . I find a way past this little problem with some google help . once I change the resolution , the game stop say I be close to exceed the memory usage . I max everything out , and begin play . I notice no difference from my 5770 . not one single difference . then the game become night time , and there be flicker shadow all over the place in the game , something that do not happen at all with my 5770 . this be not look good so far and make I severely regret my purchase . the second game I test be Skyrim . again , my 5770 run this game just fine . I instantly want to completely max out the setting in this game , and upon do so , the game be SO INCREDIBLY STUTTERY . I must have be get like 5fp . it be severely unplayable on absolute max setting . I have to completely turn of aa and af , and at this point , the game look and perform exactly as it do with the 5770 . so by now you may be ask , `` if this card be perform so badly , why 3 star ?? '' . well , I be blame the issue right now on crappy driver . this be my only saving grace hope that I do not just completely blow $ 450 buck . I will keep this update if anything change , and hopefully for they sake and for my rage 's sake , it better change . \*\*\* UPDATE \*\*\* after mess around with the option of the card in catalyst control center and do everything I could just shy of re-installing Windows , I finally decide to just set everything back to factory default . well , now I be get like 2000 fp in GTA iv and Skyrim stay at a constant 60 fp . I also try Saint 's Row the Third , and that be get between 65-75 fp . all of this be with every setting completely max out in the game . this card be a beast , just as long as you keep the setting as default in catalyst control center . +66 GraphicsCard POS 5 Got here very fast about 2 day ... card work like a charm ... do not have to use the disk . . plug and play ... very happy +576 GraphicsCard POS 5 video card be cheaper and high performance and I be very pleased buy !! I recommend it if you have the money to buy a better perform or as I say poor card , but the best ! es la tarjeta de video ma barata y de gran rendimiento que e comprado I siento muy satisfecho !!!! la recomiendo si no tiene el dinero para comprarte una de mejor rendimiento o como digo yo la tarjeta de los pobres , pero la mejor !!! +822 GraphicsCard POS 5 just get this monitor adapter cord to hook up my second monitor . my computer only have one VGA port . I go to bestbuy and be tell I would have to spend upward of $ 100 to get a cord then a adapter for the cord in order to hook up dual monitor . I find this cord on Amazon and it work perfectly ! I be so excited . it be so easy to set up and now I have my dual monitor work ! Super fast ship too ! definitely recommend this product if you do not have two VGA port for a dual monitor setup . +970 GraphicsCard POS 4 install the driver from the include CD then connect you usb adapter and that it . Works well . like other reviewer state it do sometimes forget it position or suddenly think it should be mirror instead of extend . only seem to happen when wake from be asleep . I be currently use it with a Dell laptop . I now have 2 full size monitor as well as the laptop build in screen . make work easier . also recommend a free app call MultiMon Taskbar , which give you a taskbar on all monitor and have some other great feature like a clipboard history function . over all I be very satisfied with this product . do not expect to play any game on it where you be concern with fp . but for work it be a easy perfect solution . I use it mostly for look at documentation and run RDP session . +171 GraphicsCard NEG 1 this same card be advertise at a few place for around two hundred less . I have a i7 CPU as well , 850w silent pro gold series , z68-v-pro mb , two stick of ram totally 8 gb on the board with a CPU cooler as well . my case be the smilodon and have the best cooling you could ask for in a left side clear case so you can see the inside plus the right side come down to do bench testing without disconnect a thing . this card have good stats and number on paper , but for half the price you can surpass it easy with a slus set up . those `` in the know '' ` who care about throw away they money just to brag about have the latest and greatest will be and have be separate from they money for many year now , and many to come . this industry be no different than the rest . I do not want to break any to rule on here , so I can not mention brand and price , but I be always available to take question in detail . spend this money on two respectable card that have go way down in price now since the sucker who pay this asinine price for card like these be make up the difference and then some . you will get two great card that will be way more than what you need , and still have money leave over to purchase a few game that slightly older card in the 5 series will handle like clock work . my set up I mention above be complete by a old gtx260 oc2 card that produce 299 fp in all game I play , online and off . for those who know , 299fp be what the server tap out at , so who know how high it would really go . no mistake , a solid graphic card round out any gaming rig , but overkill in this industry be at a all time high , and you all victim of price gouging and hype that only lead to senseless spending . so , even if you get just one card for a fraction of this price , it will more than surpass you need in any and all game , and there be great offer out on they , so do you research and use whatever common sense you have to not get separate from you hard earn money so you can take a pretty girl out on a date and stop dream of the female avatar you see in you game . +706 GraphicsCard POS 5 with all the new card come out and my 560tus not perform as well as I would like anymore , I steer in the direction of what I think be the best bang for the buck . not a overly expensive card and can now play anything at max on my system . my system be AMD 965be and 8gig of ram . Great Card for MMO 's as well as battlefield 3 . it be unbelievably quiet , and never seem to heat up . Power consumption be minimal . I coould not be happier about this purchase . I think this card be perfect for the market at the moment , anything bigger be really just overkill . +374 GraphicsCard NEG 2 it work like a lamp . my resolution of screen be 1366x768 and it do not work on that . it only work on 1280x1024 , however the performance be awful . +551 GraphicsCard POS 5 I find that it take a special sequence of event to get it to work with all device . I need to plug the unit into my usb port as the last move . and that mean that I have to plub the db connector in to the VGA adapter as the last move , and then only after my laptop be finish load everything during the poweron sequence . after I get the sequence right , everything work fine for Powerpoint two display . +84 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I know i need a low profile pcus video card for my computer , so I decide on this one , I have be use pny product for a long time and I have be always realy please with they , first i think it be a `` lemon '' I receive , but then I read another review explain the exact issue I be have : THIS video card , USED under WINDOWS 7 or VISTA , will prevent you to turn OFF your COMPUTER USING the power off hardware button or clicking the SHUT DOWN BUTTON ON WINDOWS ! the system will start to power off process , but after that it will reboot , just like if you have select to the restart option . the only way to shut it down be by unplug the power cord . already try to update driver , motherboard bio , disable window ' 7 reboot option on a error , in the system advance option , no go . so its a good card , great performanse for a low end design but still ... a really bad idea ... +871 GraphicsCard POS 5 I install this card for a new pc video game -lrb- arma 2 -rrb- to be use in a mod call dayz . Works perfectly . +600 GraphicsCard POS 5 it work ... play my game smooth ... a video card be just another component ... it wont open a beer or jerk chicken . +764 GraphicsCard POS 5 this prodcut will let you work with 2 monitor side by side and will split the screen . it plug into the usb port and it start work automatically . Great for open to application on different screen with 2 computer +803 GraphicsCard POS 4 this be a excellent video or graphic card for anyone try to upgrade a older system from 2003 through 2006 . this be compatible with Windows 7 and have all driver in win-7 . screen resolution problem experience when upgrade a older computer to Windows 7 be solve when incorporate this specific PCI slot video card . +844 GraphicsCard POS 5 the video card be incredible the graphic be wonderful . the card be gorgeous , and seem very well build . I could not believe the detail in Cyris 2 , and Max Payne 3 run the game perfect with no issue . the only problem be I do not know that you need at least 500 watt power supply to run this graphic card . if you have say a 250 like I do the card will not work . also the card get hot so I get new computer shell with better vent , and 600 watt power supply . other then that get one asap , you will not be sorry buying this wonderful gamer 's dream card . I almost forget to mention the first card send by amazon seem to have be a use one not the same card I believe , however amazon be nice enough to refund my money , and let I send back the wrong card at they expense . +282 GraphicsCard POS 4 purchase this card in May 2012 . switch the bio and no unlock shader . put the position back to stock , read the bio , modify and re-flash to the secondary bio , still same result , no unlock shader . still a good card though , but do not expect to unlock it unless you can get you hand on a older revision of this card . +991 GraphicsCard POS 5 Ok , so I will start by say that I previously have a 6870 and promptly buy a 7870 when it be release . that be a big mistake . in fact , even own the 6870 for so long and just accept the problem with the driver and slowdown in game be idiotic of I . so , I think I get a bad 7870 because of the blue screen , freezing , slow performance , yada yada , so I get another one . same problem . I get feed up with AMD and see this card be just release . so , I get it in hope that it would solve all my problem . it do , and it even solve problem I do not even know I have . I always expect that slowdown and stuttering be just normal with graphic card in some area . even in game like Skyrim the framerate would drop to 40 or even 35 sometimes with the 7870 . hell , I buy the 7870 to get rid of the same issue with my 6870 . but finally , this 670 gtx make my game run smooth as silk and have a stable system be amazing again . I can not believe I ever jump on the AMD bandwagon , and I do not think I ever will again . so , now I will review the card . this evga card come nicely package with everything I need . I like how it have two DVI slot , whereas my previous card seem to have replace one with displayport . the design look like a VHS tape , and I be concern that it only have one fan . however , it seem to not matter in the end when I oce it . this card be fast and quiet . let I emphasize how quiet it be ... you rarely hear it over you normal pc fan . my 5870 sound like a jet take off and my 6870 be a little better , but this thing outstanding as far as noise go . as far as performance go , it handle pretty much anything you throw at it so far . it be a little slower than the 7870 somehow in Crysis and Crysis Warhead , and I have no idea how that be possible . in every other game , it destroy the 7870 I previously own for a few week . the driver be AMAZING ! I be so happy to not have to deal with any sort of driver not respond issue , blue screen , etc. . those thing become second nature to deal with when own a AMD card . finally , everything just work like it should . I install the driver that come on the CD and have not even look at they since . the game all run so smoothly , even when they dip below 60fp . seriously , 40fp with nvidium driver and 40fp with AMD driver be not the same . AMD stutter and it be not smooth . NVidia be smooth , so I do not have to care if my game be dip below 60fp because I do not notice . I overclock the card and test the stability with the program provide on the CD the card come with . I have to register to download the app to test the stability , but it be not a big deal . overclocking be a little confusing with the boost , but I just take a stab in the dark and set my base clock to +100 mhz and memory to +200 mhz . it seem to be stable after 1 hour of stability testing . I hear there be issue with increase the voltage , but I do not have to deal with that . the clock speed vary widely with this card depend on activity and if the boost be on , but it deal with it flawlessly . this card be the best card I have ever own . the bottom line be that it be a great price for what you get . why get a 580 gtx when this have 95 % of the performance ? it stink that they can not provide enough stock for the card , but it 'll be worth the wait if you can . +348 GraphicsCard POS 5 if you can afford it , buy it ! this card perform ... ... ... ... . it really perform . I love it . I have a 6870 before and it work wonderfully . for this upgrade I be think about the gtx 680 , but I be a AMD fan and I want to stick with they . they really bring a GPU to the table . a really awesome one ! +653 GraphicsCard POS 5 purchase this card about 6 month ago to go along with a i5 2500k computer I build to play video game . this card be a great value , play just about any game on maximum possible setting at -rrb- 60 fp at 1920x1080 . the only game I have play that show even a slight performance dip at max setting be battlefield 3 and skyrim , both of which be get about 40 to 45 fp , which be still perfectly acceptable for most people . from what I have read online card work well in crossfire configuration with about a 90 % increase in performance , with spec like that this card will be play the latest game at maximum setting for a very long time . also I purchase my entire computer build from amazon include the computer case , not a thing be miss and everything come in nice packaging . standard shipping take on 2 day , order on a Sunday recieve it on Wednesday . overall great product very pleased with amazon . save I over 1000 dollars.com pare to a prebuild.com puter from dell or hp . with the same spec . +897 GraphicsCard NEU 3 its ok for old computer , , its fast for a month but if you over use it on high graphic super fast game it will still crash , speed up game but if you ahve a slow computer youtube will still be slow , the video will load like 3 % slower than the playing video so it will stop ever so often , give a chance to load it will be fine . game wise , if you set the graphic to medium or some where under the medium the card will work fine but push it past the limit for you enjoyment will ruin it . use it for more than a week non stop for 5 + hour every day will start to make you fan whirr more often , would recomend it for casual gaming and casual everything else , not intense thing +855 GraphicsCard POS 5 pro : very fast card for the old AGP slot ! Easy to install ! driver on include cdrom work just fine despite what other review have say ! no stability issue to speak of ! cosmetically the card look great ! high stock clock and can be overclocked quite high ! gddr3 memory be the only way to go ! con : card require a powerful power supply of 450 watt 30-amp minimum , I recommend a 500 watt 35-amp or better PSU . card require two Molex 4-pin lead from PSU to function properly . this card be very long and as such will not fit in minus tower , full tower only ! other thought : the bottom line be that they no longer make card for the AGP slot . and if you do not want to throw a bunch of money into build a new system , this be you best bang for buck card to keep that older agp system current to the time . I have a first generation single core AMD 64-bit pc which I soon plan to upgrade to dual core because the new bio on my Asus board support they . when install this card , I have to move my hard drive to a lower slot in the bay because the card be so long it extend to the front of they . I use the driver that be on the include disk , they install fine . I have have no instability issue or driver issue since . and I test this card with fear with all option max out , and all I get to say be WOW ! Time to mop the deck with some hozer online : p consider the 3850 come out not that long ago , you will be pretty current with this card and should keep you system go for a year of more till you next upgrade . I be happy with my purchase ! +268 GraphicsCard NEG 2 this one be ok to view word , excel , pdf document . you can not use this to view internet , youtube or video file . do not even think about gaming . +518 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have upgrade my monitor recently to the zr30w and my old card -lrb- gtx 470 -rrb- be not able to handle the resolution . be go to buy the gtx 580 but I wait for this card instead . be glad I do , my game play much smoother and love it . I play diablo 3 beta , sc2 , league of legend , mw3 and battlefield 3 with good frame rate -lrb- everything ultra -rrb- . its nice to see all the graphic from the game , now that I can max it . will be buy another card as soon as I can afford it to sli they and have much better frame rate . I will not need to upgrade for at least 3 year -lrb- I hope -rrb- . the thing I like most be how quiet it be and how cool the card be . I leave the fan run at 50 % and the card stay cool and quiet . my gtx 470 be very loud and hot that my room get warm . its be nice for winter time but not for the summer .

I really would . but it be just so loud . I can hear the fan spin up even while open fancy look program . the temp be fine , range between 65-85 Celsius while under serious load -lrb- at first I be concern about these temp , but research show those be average for a GPU -rrb- . I originally purchase the card to upgrade my hd 6670 . that be a fantastic card , but just be not quite beefy enough for I . the 6770 might not seem like that huge of a jump , but I go from medium\/high setting on battlefield 3 to all Ultra . and that be a huge jump , as most of the FPS breaking feature be the jmp from high to ultra . at this point , there be no game I can not throw at this card that it will not play with ease . it be definitely the best 128bit card in the 6xxx series . +517 GraphicsCard POS 5 it be only be five day since I install this , but man do it make a difference . the last card I run be a hd 5770 , so switch up to double the video memory and 256-bit architecture be a dream of sort . highly recommend download trixx to set custom fan speed and overclock if you be into that . I have not actually oced anything on the card yet , but it already chew up everything I throw at it without complaint . Crysis run at max setting , as do Dragon Age 2 and the Witcher 2 . have not try Crysis 2 with the Ultra Upgrade yet , but I imagine this beast would chew through it reasonably well also . basically , be you want a card that can stay cool while also tear the scream face off you game , this be it . +300 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have install about 15 of these in the past 6 month . some I buy from here and some from Newegg . all of they have come with the low rise plate . one thing I do notice be that the last batch I get from Amazon have HDMI and not s-video on it . I use neither but it look like they have change the card and not the description . everything else about the card be the same . I have install these in xp pro , xp home , win7 pro , and win 7 Enterprise . we use these just to add a second monitor . the card have two output on it . VGA and DVI . there be no VGA to DVI adapter in the box so if you be use it for two VGA connection , get a adapter as well . StarTech DVI to VGA Cable Adapter , M\/F -lrb- DVIVGAMF -rrb- in other word , give this thing some space . leave one empty slot right below it . +747 GraphicsCard POS 5 I must say that I be in love with this card ! I upgrade from a q6600\/evga gtx470 to a i7 37700k\/gtx 670 . the old rig serve I very well but it be finally time . I have be wait for the 600 series and Ivy bridge to drop for the last 6 month , and I be really glad I do . the old config just wasnt able to drive my 1920x1200 28 '' setup and my Nvidia 3D Vision projector setup at full setting . with this new cpu and the 670 , I be able to run everything max out usually above 60fp -lrb- which I consider a bit overkill , but in 3d mode I really do need the performance -rrb- . bf3 64-player mp battle be be bottleneck by my old cpu big time , but even on empty server I be only get 35-45fp with certain settin . with the new hardware combo I be get around 120fp with the same setting . with every setting max in full 64-player map @ 1920x1200 I can hold a solid 60fp . my CPU be only runnign at abt 50-60 % so I have ample room to later add in a 2nd gtx670 if need and when price drop . about the look : I be really dread buy this card because the picture make it out to look ghastly . whilst it be still not exactly pretty per-se , its nowhere near as ugly as the picture make it out to be . the mesh on the side be decent , and the `` white '' strip along the top be actually brush aluminum . there be other manufacturer that have better design -lrb- even ref be nicer imo -rrb- , but EVGA have the best customer service\/warranty -lrb- which be now intl. -rrb- \/ and the step-up program so I really do not have any other choice . if the ftw version be available on launch day I would have get that . another point to look out for : this card only have 1 dvi-i port and the other be dvi-d . this be a problem for I because both my 28 '' ViewSonic and H5360 3D projector need dvi-i . so in order to connect both at the same time -lrb- and be able to switch use Windows + p -rrb- , I would need to use 1 DVI out plus 1 dvi to VGA converter -lrb- for the projector -rrb- . however , there be no converter from dvi-d to VGA . currently I be use my old 470 as a physx card plus output for the PJ . I 'll prolly sell it and replace it with my very old 8800gt , but that my problem . all in all , the 670 be a truly great buy if you can get it at the $ 399 msrp !! +476 GraphicsCard POS 4 these card , and all gtx 670 card out there , be amazing value . there be a negligible difference in performance between the gtx 670 and the gtx 680 . not to mention , that this card be factory overclocked right out of the box . I easily get 70 fp on ultra in battlefield 3 , and even higher in civilization V. I get high fp in Starcraft 2 as well on Ultra setting , but a good CPU be better than a good GPU in that game . use evga precision x , I can set the target frame rate at 60 fp , and the card will not even use the full GPU power available at 1080p to get 60 fp . one that that have disappoint I be that my card do not overclock as far as other who have ftw card . I can only hit a 1268 MHz boost clock vs 1300 MHz , and my memory clock can only get to about 3247 MHz vs 3500MHz + that other report they can get to . in short , the gpus put into make these card be not bin , and be instead just test to make sure they can run at the factory overclock , which most 670 gpus should be able to do . so if you be look for strong overclocking , you be play the silicon gamble just like any other card . in fact , I suggest look into purchase a 7870 or a 7970 -lrb- soon to drop in price with the release of the 7970 GHz Edition -rrb- , which overclock great and perform slightly better than Nvidia card when they be overclock . however , if overclocking be not a big issue for you , stop read this review , and click the buy button . this card be fantastic . +288 GraphicsCard POS 5 bought 4 of these card , work like a charm . in 4 way slus , can run three 27 in monitor at 7680x1440 without any problem . the card run cool , just fan speed at 85 % be a tad noisy . the power cable be in the middle be abit odd and ugly but I do not care . the power be awesome . can push bf3 at Max setting with frame rate 60-70 . min frame rate hit 40 occasionally , but that be when u be kill in a explosion . +781 GraphicsCard POS 5 First of all , this be the superclock + version , with the include backplate -lrb- be a very nice surprise ! -rrb- arrive in good size amazon box with padding . item box be in flawless condition . Box be seal , and all item be include in they sealed packaging -lrb- driver cd , 2 molex -- -rrb- 6pin adapter , video cable -rrb- . this item be install in a Dell XPS 8000 computer -lrb- 2010 -rrb- . it fit , but I do have to move the original hardrive to a different place . I do also need a different SATA cable that give I a bit more length to feed around the card . this computer come in a small-mid size tower . the card be , as advertise , 10 inch in length , which make it ideal in tight fitting situation . I have it run with a Corsair hx650w . fantastic performance right off the bat . I do go to the evga website however , and get the most update precision x software for overclocking . my card gpu do not want to overclock more than 35 mhz , which be a bit of a letdown , but these card as you know be hit and miss . I be however at over 200mhz memory overclock , and I have not try push it further . why you might ask ? because there be simply no need for that speed on my system . I be run a brand new Ultrasharp IPS Dell display , 24inch at 1920x1200 . Skyrim , Witcher 2 , all max , with stable 60fp , even on my relatively old core i5-750 . I have notice my cpu temp have actually drop a good 5degree since upgrade to this card -lrb- from a sapphire 6850 -rrb- . overall , I give it a 5 star . be it absolutely necessary to run in my setup , absolutely not !! it be simply overkill for game now . but I be assure that I will have a top perform system for at least the next 2-3 year before I worry about get a whole new setup . great buy ! +197 GraphicsCard POS 5 I be not the usual person who give review but I just want to tell those who want to reserve it not to cancel even if it take more time , I reserve this card for a friend on September 3 and the delivery estimate be between 23 September - 5 October and I get a email around 5 day ago about a confirm delivery date by 20 September which mean that Amazon get the item even before the time frame that they put for it and I be get it even earlier -lrb- 19 September -rrb- , Amazon promise and they deliver . so those who want the item should reserve theirs and wait for it and never cancel unless you actually get one from another place cause its worth the wait if you really want it since cancel and reordering will get you down on the list while you be on top of it , or you can buy it from other people for over 1000 $ . +731 GraphicsCard NEG 1 if you be unlucky enough to have a defective card , get a replacement from galaxy be go to be extremely difficult and time-consuming . they customer service be virtually non-existent . sometimes they choose to ignore you email altogether . it may be prudent to purchase from a different manufacturer . +955 GraphicsCard NEG 2 I first install this card use Windows 2000 pro , and it work very well . then I do a new install of Windows 7 , and now many program include Combat Flifht Simulator will not run at all - even after get the win7 driver from Nvidia . +367 GraphicsCard NEU 3 I spend about 8 hour just try to get my pc to boot to window with this card in it . since I be rebuild this system , I be able to install xp first . card be recognize and everything be go well . however , once I do a clean install of window 7 , thing go downhill from there . I keep get blue screen of death and sometimes no boot at all . have to keep take the card out and run agp only and then put it back end and every time , it would cause the pc to either not boot at all or crash with blue screen . finally find someone with the same issue install this on a Dell Precision workstation in the PCI slot . have to take it out of the PCI slot and move it to the pci-x slot while the computer be on and get window 7 to recognize the card , and then install the NVIDIA driver while keep the old AGP Video Card in . once it reboot and I could see the device in the device manager , have to reboot and change bio setting for primary video from agp to AUTO . finally after 2 restart it reboot and come up to window on the DVI port of this new card . the educate guess from other be that window 7 and the Dell Bios be have trouble read the 512 mb of pny memory on the card . unfortunately , I can not verify this . now that the card be run it be great . +259 GraphicsCard POS 5 buy two of these on release day . I upgrade from -lrb- 2 -rrb- AMD 5770 . I think those two be pretty fast as i could run most game at the highest setting . dx11 be out of the question though , so i have to settle w \/ dx9 or 10 . I have no idea these 680 would be this fast . I run several benchmark and record result - some benchmark be 800 % faster over my previous 5770 . I can run any game , all the highest setting , physx -lrb- if available -rrb- and everything be completely smooth . Metro 2033 , for instance , be a slideshow with high setting . now , i can run the game at 2048x1152 , physx , max setting , msaa , all dx11 feature enable . it be completely smooth . amazing . I cant fault these card at all . theyre quieter than my previous 5770 and run cooler . my system use less power now as well . for other ' reference , here 's my setup : core i7 920 @ 3.8 GHz Asus P6T OCZ 6gb ddr3 EVGA GTX 680 SLI OCZ Vertex 2 60gb , Intel X25-M 160GB Creative X-Fi Xtrememusic Silverstone 1200W Corsair Carbide 500r +355 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be a great graphic card ! I be on the prime trial and pay 3.99 for one day shipping , it get here in one day ! nicely package and with all component . work and work very well . Plays all my game on high setting ! wait on rebate still , not sure what to expect though . overall happy with my purchase and can not wait to game ! +55 GraphicsCard POS 4 I get a larger higher resolution monitor for a older pc and I need to upgrade the video card to support it . plug the evga card in the AGP slot install the driver and be up and run in minute . I like the fact it have a heat sink rather then a onboard fan . it make the card thinner and easier to fit in the slot , make no additional noise , and mean one less move part to wear out . this be the 3rd computer in which I have install a evga video card . they be a good value , reliable and run flawlessly for year . +772 GraphicsCard POS 5 as most folk know , Nvidia have be very good to we Linux folk . as a linux gamer since 2000 , this card be a vast improvement over my 9800-gtx . I have not find a game yet that can not be max out . diablo 3 look pretty darn good with everything max out . portal 2 , Red Dead Redemption GOY , Fallout 3 GOY , Starcraft 2 , C&C; 3 , leave for Dead , Jedi Academy Jedi outcast , and Fallout New Vegas look amazing . if you run linux -lrb- I run debian testing -rrb- this card will serve you well . just be sure to run the latest driver along with playonlinux and you 'll be all set . gaming in Linux be very well support and this card run great . motherboard : Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P memory : 8gb Harddrive : Western Digital 500GB Monitor : 24 '' Dell +744 GraphicsCard POS 5 work well right out of the box . Easy installation . no complaint . I may buy another one to have three monitor . +70 GraphicsCard POS 5 beware of the dvi output . what appear to be two DVI FEMALE output be actually one DVI FEMALE and one DVI MALE , I repeat , MALE . this \* MALE be a different kind of output and require a adapter , that do not come with my order . normal DVI cable attach to female DVI output , not male . beware I say-it cause I trouble . otherwise . . what a beast card ! +203 GraphicsCard POS 5 i just switch out my old hot , loud and crappy ATI 5770 that come with my xp 8100 . best upgrade ever . it be hard to get use to how quiet the Gpu be . -lrb- I be use to the loud fan on the other gpu -rrb- . run everything on high\/ultra high . i get 60fp use frap on skyrim . very satisfied . would SLI if my motherboard support it . i use the cooler master gx 650w for the psu upgrade as well . +666 GraphicsCard POS 5 the Asus hd7870 be a fantastic video card as it provide very high frame rate in any game and run cool even when slightly overclock . even when overclock 10 % above reference ,732 Mhz , it never go above 72oC . great bang for the buck . +390 GraphicsCard NEG 1 Video card work out of the box . try to breathe life into a old machine i have . work good for about two hour , then thing start get strange . computer be freezing up , and then would start work again . color on the screen start shift . grab my handy handheld IR thermometer and point it at the head sink and find the heat sink be almost 200 degree F. this card may be a great card , but if you need this exact card , i would suggest look into some after market cooling because this card get hot quick . +417 GraphicsCard NEG 2 so im go to just guess that the temp sensor be off on my unit , catalyst control center never spin up the fan to anywhere near max , and the screen will start to twitch and eventually it crash the system . I have to go in and manually set my fan speed to 80-100 % to prevent this . other than that , run crysis warhead at max detail at 1920x1200 , pretty happy about that . Update : take off 2 more star , even after up the fan speed , still have graphic glitch , i have to UNDERCLOCK my memory 100mhz to make it stop . terrible . I think i get a 6850 in disguise here . maybe I get unlucky here , but still , do some testing before you put something out for sale . +623 GraphicsCard POS 5 build quality , performance , noise and overall . 1 . build quality : i have the impression that the shroud be make of hard plastic but its actually make of metal . give it a premium feel plus add protection - the card look amazing in person , red stripe on charcoal , beautifulu 2 . Performance : my game be starcraft 2 , skyrim , torchlight and a few which be not as demand as crysis 2 and metro 2033 . this card play all of they flawlessly -lrb- some high , other ultra setting -rrb- - this be on stock frequency , after overclock it to core850\/mem1980 - playing be even betteru 3 . noise : i make my own fan profile . my tolerance for the noise be up to 75 % , my case : fractal r3 have sound dampen , not sure if its still tolerable in other case . you can hear the fan but no blow dryer effect , for I if you dont want to hear anything then go full liquid cooling . I like hear it a bit because i can tell at which part of the fan profile it be hence have a estimate of where the temp be without the in game osd monitoring . 4 . overall : exceed my expectation . be choose between the 580 ds or this , have slus be something ive always dream of have and 2 580 's would have be great but i go for the match color of the 570 ds to the rest of my rig , and experience it first hand - i cant wait for my other 570 ds to arrive ... im a very happy customer , thank you amazon and evgau +433 GraphicsCard POS 5 pro : simply the best perform card on the planet . it be a monster . ability to run QUAD SLI ! con : high performance equal high price . run a little hot , but not bad . if you be look for the best graphic card available , do the research . it will point you directly to the gtx 295 . evga should give you peace of mind to spend the dough this bad boy be gonna cost . +213 GraphicsCard POS 4 pro - 1 -rrb- unlockable to 6970 with push of switch 2 -rrb- can overclock it to HD 6970 easily with trixx software utility 3 -rrb- very quiet and run very cool 4 -rrb- constant 40 + fp for battlefield 3 , crysis 2 , assassin 's creed brotherhood with -lrb- 1920x1200 , 8xaa , everything max out -rrb- con - 1 -rrb- no crossfire bridge 2 -rrb- packaging be not impressive 3 -rrb- Fingers cross for rebate 4 -rrb- no game coupon dirt 3 \/ deus ex if it matter to you -lrb- I be not fan of race game anywayz -rrb- conclusion : must have if you do not need \/ mind buy crossfire bridge +6 GraphicsCard NEG 1 while I do not purchase through Amazon , I want to share my experience with the product here to inform those interested in the card about its potential issue . there be no question that the Asus GTX 670 dc2 model be among the best look available , and the cooling solution be second to none . that be what attract I to the card - the slight difference in performance between the various option be of minimal concern 'cause they be all fast enough and test have show that if I want more performance all it would take be a bit of memory overclocking . such be not necessary though , as it have no problem with any of my game at 1920x1200 resolution with all the eye candy . I would think all be well as I have no issue whatsoever with the card for nearly three month ... then not quite two week ago I experience the first of many random black screen hard lock while gaming . after confirm that the graphic card be indeed at fault -lrb- a friend have the same card and swap they for a few day result in the black screen hard lock follow my card -rrb- I be now without my graphic card for potentially a entire month for a Asus RMA as they do not offer advanced replacement on graphic card . in the course of my troubleshooting , I come across numerous forum post from other Asus GTX 670 owner with either black screen hard lock or rsod issue . the disturbing part be that the majority of such report be also from owner who have be use they card for a month + without problem before it go bad , which definitely have I worried that there be a long term reliability issue with the design . +735 GraphicsCard NEG 2 the product send be the right card , but it do not have the VGA plug or the slot bracket to fit it . it come with only the DVI and HDMI with a short bracket that wont even fit my computer . seem I be short a few part , especially you standard slot bracket . Geesh . at -lrb- ... -rrb- they list what be in the box , but it do not say such part , they show this : 900270 and 900290 . I can only guess these be part number for the miss bracket and VGA plug . I only have VGA monitor -lrb- two -rrb- . on my previous ATI card , I use a a DVI to VGA adapter and the VGA out to run two monitor . so when I see the picture show this card to have the same ability , I believe it to be true . +641 GraphicsCard POS 5 I install Richard burn rally game but would not play on my old Dimension 4600 due to lack of pixel shading . plug unit in and voila all be well . shredding rbr on the daily now . thanks evga and Amazon +117 GraphicsCard NEU 3 good performance be able to play in dx11 @ 5760x1080 metro2033 but have problem , the speedfan control do not work only stay in one speed , I try to change with amd overdrive , sapphire Trixx , msi afterburner and the program recognize the new speed but the noise and the temperature it be the same , the card idle in 64 c and 95 c at load , in eyefinty arrange , the other be that i can not configure the stereo 3d feature conect with hdmus , minidp-hdmus , minidp-dvi -lrb- active -rrb- - hdmus , only recognize hdmus , I could not find information which be the correct setting to use this feature , waste time and money buy monitor with hdmus and speaker include . the last one be when drag a window , this window be cut by two line until drop it . the card be in the process of refund +372 GraphicsCard POS 4 I install this card on my 2007 Dell Inspiron 530 . I need a low profile card and this fit just fine . it really help with play newer game like battlefield 2 and Crysis . of course you computer 's processor and memory hardware will also be factor and you may have to adjust you game 's video preference too . I have have this card for a while and it have not give I any problem +770 GraphicsCard POS 4 the good news and bad news about this card : the good news - great card ! I buy it as the `` last best '' videocard for my agp motherboard - I take the advice on tom 's hardware and get this card . and it raise my performance hugely -lrb- my old video card be a 128mb geforce -rrb- , with no problem . it be a little tricky get the latest driver -lrb- best bet be to go to sapphire tech : -lrb- ... -rrb- -rrb- , but otherwise no problem . the bad news be - they do not really tell you -lrb- and the manual be also very cryptic about it -rrb- , but it turn out it need _ 2 _ 4-pin power supply connector feed into it . as my old video card need _ 0 _ such power supply connector , this be a issue : -rrb- . it be easily remedy by buy power supply splitter cable , which only cost about $ 4 -lrb- look at the ` people who buy this also buy ' section -rrb- , but if you do not order they in advance , and you be not near a Fry 's , you may have buy this video card and be unable to install it . +271 GraphicsCard POS 5 use with xp and beyond . I get it to work with Windows 2000 after a lot of hunting and configure a driver but I would not recommend it . for the money the performance can not be beat . +212 GraphicsCard POS 5 this graphic video card work very well . i have a 23 '' screen , and i have need a good video card , only on a pcus slot . i ` t a nvidium chipset so it be a reliable product . +567 GraphicsCard POS 4 I be use this video card for about 10 day now , run bf3 on max setting , test with Crysis dx11 + hd texture pack and skyrim with hd texture pack . I can say that the card be good , handle these game on maximum setting but it be not better than my Radeon 7970 , I think it be the same level . both machine have i7-3770k@4.4 . maybe with new game use physx I will see some improvement . I can recommend it over the 7970 bcz of the lack of bugs\/inssues i have sometimes with the 7970 . look for another 680 to get SLI or some thing stronger from Nvidia next month . right now , this videocard alone be enought for all game i like . +679 GraphicsCard POS 5 I order this and have problem install the 1st time so i have to try again -lrb- 1st installation -rrb- the 2nd it work and it be run flawless . I be a gamer so I specifically buy this for gaming . I could run my old game smoother . Games such as Garry 's Mod , Team Fortress 2 , Minecraft , SA : mp -lrb- San Andreas Multiplayer -rrb- . I can play new game out in my current time Skyrim , mw3 -lrb- not to much of a cod fanboy -rrb- , although I can not play bf3 I come pretty close . I also can play game such as APB : Reloaded . I do not use Adobe after affect to often nor Photoshop but now i can use the 3rd feature on Photoshop and on after effect I do not get error while work on my introduction . also if you hate fan you be go to love this because it have a heatsink and no fan make nose all day and it maintain it be cool pretty good see I leave my pc on for 2week straight while it be in it . anyways like I say this be a great buy for the price it be totally worth it . +856 GraphicsCard POS 4 I buy this as a second video drive for a two-monitor setup -lrb- thus the fact that this card install into a PCI slot be good for I because the other card be the AVI slot -rrb- . the card seem to have good review , a modest price , enough onboard memory , and , especially attractive , it avoid need for another hum little fan by use lot of big heat sink . installation be simple . follow they instruction . it be basically : install the driver . insert the card in the slot . restart the computer . the downside of the `` silent '' feature of the card be that the heatsink stick out a lot . the card be so fat that it basically cover two pcus slot . it be not a issue in my particular setup because I do not currently need that slot . there may be enough space to cram it in the end slot where the heat sink might actually be touch the computer case . the video output seem just fine for internet , office application , and email . I be not a gamer , however . +797 GraphicsCard POS 5 when EVGA release the gtx 680 , I be really hope to get my hand on one to upgrade from a gtx 570 sc . these dream quickly die when I see how third party vendor be price gouging these card hundred of dollar above msrp due to limited quantity . I then look into the gtx 670 's . if I be go to be spend several hundred of dollar , I want to make sure I would have no buyer 's regret . I look at the clock speed of the gtx 670 ftw and then look up the clock speed of a gtx 680 . to my shock , they be exactly the same ! I quickly compare the price . about a $ 100 dollar difference ! I be immediately sell on the gtx 670 ftw . this card be absolutely the best value for you buck when buy into the gtx 600 series card . after several day of use , the card run very quiet and cool . significantly cooler than my previous gtx 570 sc . furthermore , this card can be overclock use EVGA precision x software . \* author 's note : I end up buy my gtx 670 ftw from Newegg because at the time of my purchase -lrb- May 24th -rrb- this item be not be list on Amazon . these card have be price reduce $ 20 due to a recall of some gtx 670 sc 's . also , my card come in plastic packaging instead of the normal evga black foam and one of the include cable be out of its packaging . \/ watch ? v = glpvho-0pew -- Unboxing Video +738 GraphicsCard POS 4 need to replace my two Crossfire hd5770 's , as I be in closed beta a a new but old game base on the `` Battletech '' Universe . this game now work fine with this new card . world of tank prefer the old hd5770 for some odd reason , but it work on that too . two vidcard work with AMD Crossfire , or nvidea slus , do not a `` equivalent '' higher level card make . glad I spend the extra $ $ $ get a single , better card . +884 GraphicsCard POS 5 extremely fast card . Run quietly . Temp be kind high when u oc . if u look for high performance graphic card . this be for u +710 GraphicsCard POS 4 a fantastic video card , I be get great performance out of it . I have two together in Cross-Fire . only thing I 'll say be that it be annoy Amazon would not let I buy two - I end up buy the second one for my CrossFire setup from NewEgg , which be unfortunate for Amazon and for I have to work with multiple source and shipping cost . I wish it could overclock a bit more , though I do expect my lack of luck in this area may be partly due to have the two link as each have different limitation . be able to get up to 880 clock . would be a lot better if they pre-oc would these guy so we do not have to mess with it . nice cooler though , keep it cool even with the two card right up against each other . +473 GraphicsCard POS 5 this graphic card be amazing ! I can not wait to crossfire two of these . ran leave 4 dead 2 everything on high with anti-aliasing x16 and the GPU 's temp stay around 67c and around 42c on idle . I be very happy with this card and you will be too ! also the free code for Dirt 3 be a very welcome addition . +314 GraphicsCard POS 5 good pci-e video card for its price . I get 4.6 score on Windows 7 Windows experience index . I buy the cheap card so I can watch my Blu-Ray movie on a multi-boot os -lrb- xp & 7 -rrb- on dual lcd monitor . Video quality be excellent . just make sure to update to the latest nvidium driver . +699 GraphicsCard POS 5 in a nutshell , this card be awesome ! Easy to install , although as other poster have say , it be a huge card and will not fit in slim case . run slightly warm -lrb- 62 Celsius , after 1 hour in black op with Ultra setting -rrb- on my pc -lrb- HP p7-1010 -rrb- since they design the board to have the cpu under the video card which sit directly under the psu . get over 140fp in 3dmark06 with setting maxx and a 15,346 score . have not be able to get this card to skip or stutter on any game I throw at it . run all game at native 1080p -lrb- 1920x1080 -rrb- @ 60hz with max\/ultra\/da bomb setting Alice : Madness Returns Battlefield 3 BattleForge call of Duty : Black Ops Dead Island Deus ex : human evolution gattle Gears Hard Reset Starcraft II and MANY more , although they be pretty old so say they run great at max setting be not really say much for this card and blu-ray movie look amazing , almost 3d without the glass . note : this card can not be unlock . when I try unlock the 6970 shader it give I a gpuid mismatch error . the fix do not seem to work either , it flash the rom , but upon reboot it be still a 6950 +898 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have a older , smaller case I need a DVI card for . it have to be pcus connection slot . I find this card to be simple enough ; though to make it low-profile you need to unscrew the plate and use provide smaller plate . this of course be require for any low-profile `` ready '' card so that be fine . I need this card in conjunction with a dvi-to-hdmus converter to plug this into my hdtv . it work great ; picture be crisp and clear . I would definately say buy this card if you requirement be for low-profile and pcus connection . +211 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card be a beast to install in a small form factor htpc but I know it would fit . once I remove a few internal part it slip right in . I have have it for a few month now and I have zero complaint . +435 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy this card to prepare myself for battlefield 3 when it come out and I believe that I will be purchase another one to run SLI so that it can make everything that much better . before I purchase this from Newegg , I be use a 460gtx also by evga . only 2 manufacturer make the 560ti card with 2gb VRAM , EVGA and Palit . I trust evga more than palit hence why I purchase this one over the other brand . on to the review ... Card can run most game at high-highest depend on the game . I be able to play battlefield bc2 , civilization v , Aliens vs Predator , and just cause 2 max out . it run cool , it be quiet , have a huge amount of memory , easy to install - hardware wise and software\/driver wise as well , and the 384 core of the gtx560tus vs the 336 of the gtx560 do make a difference when you play game . when I say this card run cool , I mean it really do run cool . in my thermal take armor + case , it run around 28c idle , and a max of 55c under full load . for the money , this be the best bang for you buck right now . you can also overclock this card to go well above and beyond the spec on the box and make it even that much better . just make sure to have adequate cooling for you case\/card . addition note : this card be huge as be the other newer card so make sure you have room in you case for it . I do not have to move anything but I have hear of plenty of other people not be able to fit this card in they mid tower and some in they large tower have to move they hard drive out of the way . this card do take up 2 slot but if you be buy this card , I be sure you already know that . also as a note , my card do not run that hot , do not mean that yours will not . some user have report see higher temperature than what I have post so make sure that you when you be look at you temperature , you be use my temperature as a reference only . with that be say , my house stay at 72f -lrb- 21c -rrb- during the summer\/winter month , computer be in the basement which be usually around 68-70f -lrb- 20c -rrb- . +943 GraphicsCard POS 5 pop it in install driver and away you go . Works great , fixed my problem with try to run 3d cad application in a vmware virtual machine . 64-bit driver be available for Linux as well , which be just what I need . can not beat it for the price . Wish it be fan-less , but that be a very minor complaint . +604 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card have be install and it be run very cool 28c 55c on 3dmark6 . for those who say this be a large card not it be smaller then the Gigabyte gtx260 that I replace . it run much faster then the gtx260 I have to say it run almost as fast as the 260 's sly . and like other there be no bridge for crossfire even though the picture show this be suppose to be include . I be go to e-mail Amazon and see if they will send this to I . +858 GraphicsCard POS 5 pro : + can handle basically anything I throw at it and still run at high fp -lrb- run at 1080p resolution -rrb- + fan be really quiet and still keep the card at cool temperature . + can overclock to 1200\/1600\/1250 -lrb- use 12.4 driver and trixx with the additional 12.1 `` atipdlxx . dll '' file . -rrb- con : - driver ... it be a AMD thing . - can not stream game online use xsplit , which be a huge bummer for I consider that I stream . hopefully AMD will fix they driver !! +185 GraphicsCard POS 5 after look at the review there be no way you can be disappoint with the evga gtx670 . First off , evga have great support , and the guy over at EVGA be great people . EVGA have be around for a very long time , and they even have they own forum where tech support help you out . as for the gtx670 performance be stellar despite the fact it be not as fast as a gtx680 , it 'll max out pretty much every game at 1080p without issue . after look at the review , it be a very impressive card . so not only be you get a great card , you be also get a top brand with a solid 3 year warranty , and solid support . evga from what I understand , also have a 90 day step up program , so if you want to upgrade within 90 day from the date of purchase to a newer product , you can through that program . people have also report that overclock the gtx670 can make it faster than a stock clock gtx680 . that be pretty impressive . +815 GraphicsCard NEU 3 the card work great for a few day , but my boot time increase to almost 10 minute . eventually my pc start freezing up anytime I try to play any game on my system -lrb- wow , swtor , Skyrim , DC Online -rrb- . trace it back to driver that do not install correctly , so I uninstall , reboot , redownload , and then install they only to have thing go from bad to worse . my system would not load Windows 7 , or would take 15 + minute to actually get to my login screen . it would randomly reboot itself during the Windows start-up , and eventually start boot Windows right into a bsod . the code from the bsod point back to the video card driver , but because of the driver , my system be completely shoot , it will not run Windows past the initial logo screen before it reboot itself or bsod with the same driver error . I can not even boot into safe mode . do a search through various search engine for `` HD 6870 driver issue '' bring up lot of complaint of problem with atus 's driver and a refusal by AMD to even acknowledge it , as every link lead back to they own support forum with complaint about the card and it be driver have be remove . great card , very buggy driver , and a lack of support from AMD force I to send the card back to Amazon for a refund , and leave my pc dead until I replace the hard drive and buy a copy of Wndows . reinstall be not a option due to recent image on that drive that be not backed-up at the time . Live and learn , back up more than once a week . back to Nvidia after use AMD for the last few year . +195 GraphicsCard POS 5 order this card after have 2 fail Nvidia card back to back and I do not know why I ever try anything other than AMD . the card fire up immediately , all function work correctly and game run as smooth as silk . the only complaint I have about the card be that it be just a bit too expensive to buy 2 for crossfire at the time I originally purchase it . +914 GraphicsCard POS 4 first the card : replace a outdated but surprisingly capable Radeon HD 5830 that could still play everything near full at 1600x1200 . but near be no longer enough so I spring for the `` great deal '' in the 680 's little-by-1 \/ 2 '' brother , the 670 ftw . quote on great deal for the fact high end card seem to jump $ 100 every 2 year . it be perform well as expect -lrb- see Tom 's hardware or such for benchmark , it run everything max -rrb- but do not overclock well at all . the CPU be unstable at more than a 10mhz offset in precision x and the memory get about 100MHz . I be not run it overclocked because there be no need but I want to know how much headroom it have , and it be little . it be louder than the Radeon but not loud . the card sit 3 ' from my head so that be important . my case and CPU fan be rate 17-19 db so normally the hard drive be the loudest thing , this be a bit louder , maybe 25-30 db . if you have air conditioning on in you room you will not hear the card though . now the concern : EVGA have cut down it be warranty at the knee , from lifetime to 10 year to 3 year in 2 or 3 `` generation '' of card . they no longer cross ship . they no longer pay shipping to they . instead they want to sell you extend warranty and - get this - ship protection in case you return you card . yes they will let you pay now for ship you dead card later and the only way it would be worth it at they price be if the card die a few time . the warranty also require a involved registration process to be complete within 30 day . needless to say this throw up red flag as to what kind of failure rate they card be get nowadays that they will no longer stand behind they . if xfx still make Nvidia card I would have promptly exchange this for a black edition with a double transferable lifetime warranty that they actually honor . there it be , my gripe be one common to most industry - cost cut means support cut - and EVGA have move into the `` value card maker '' realm of support . of course , the card be price lower than factory overclocked offering from Gigabyte , MSI and Asus , so maybe `` value card maker '' be exactly what they want to be now . just know what kind of back you will get . +608 GraphicsCard POS 5 do exactly what I want which be to run 2 of they crossfire . great product good on AMD . extra word for fun +975 GraphicsCard POS 4 the great thing about this card be I be play Skyrim on high setting at 1920x1080 . it look great , and be a good price . the fan run quieter than my old 8800 gt card -lrb- probably because it be a larger diameter fan -rrb- . overall I be pretty happy with the card after resolve some installation issue with my computer case . a possible problem with this card be the size and power consumption -lrb- if you case and power supply be not large enough -rrb- . it be big in all three dimension . it will take the space of two slot wide -lrb- which be well advertise -rrb- . when it be sit vertically in the slot , the power connection be on the top edge of the card and the fan assembly also extend beyond the card in this direction by a centimeter or so . for many case this be just fine , but not all . it would not fit a large home theater case -lrb- not a miniature one -rrb- because it have a design in which the motherboard tray slide out for card placement and slide back into the case . it would not slide back in because of the positioning of the power connector that extend above the card . the optical drive bay be above the top edge of the card with only a small clearance . the clearance be not a problem for any other card I own -lrb- include the 8800 gt I put in this case from my older computer -rrb- . the power connector and fan that extend beyond the top edge of the card be a problem here . in a more standard tower-style case with a microatx motherboard I need to remove a hard drive since the end of the card take the same space as the rear of a hard drive . that mean I migrate two hard drive into one . for those with standard atx style tower it be not likely to be a problem , but for micro atx case or unusual case design you will need to consider you configuration and the card dimension , even if the case may be large for they type . +143 GraphicsCard POS 4 install this card on a old Dell Dimension 2400 . go from use one monitor at 1280x768 to use two , one at 1920x1080 -lrb- dvi -rrb- and the other at 1280x768 -lrb- VGA -rrb- . this card be a good upgrade to older system that already meet you need except that they could use more monitor space . I primarily want to get dual monitor functionality and want my new 27 '' to run at 1920x1080 . this card satisfy both of those need perfectly and have extend the life of my antique dimension 2400 by several year . I be use this for regular application , I can not attest to how game perform . after disable the on-board graphic controller there may also be some performance gain as well , i be not sure yet . keep in mind , this card be for PCI slot , not pci-express , which make it perfect for older system that only have pcus slot . there may be some difficulty with the install . at first , I plug the card in and get a blank screen once Windows start . I then reboot and start in Safe Mode . once in Safe Mode I install the driver from the provide cd . there be a error when install the audio driver from the disc , I be able to afterwards boot regularly however anyway and get full hd video resolution . I then download the latest driver from Nvidia and everything go smoothly from there out . I disable the on-board graphic controller , then plug the 27 '' in via DVI and the 19 '' in via VGA and reboot . after a little configuring in the display property I have everything set up like I want it . to clarify , this card will support 1920x1080 if you monitor support it . the card will support dual monitor functionality - either by use one with the DVI plug -lrb- either straight DVI or DVI to VGA conversion , for which the adapter be provide -rrb- and the other the VGA plug , or by use one of these plug in combination with you on-board graphic controller . one thing that might also be possible be two monitor via this card and a third use the on-board controller . I do not have three monitor so I could not test this . finally , this card be PCI NOT pci-express . this be ideal for everyone who have older machine like mine that have a few upgrade here and there and be perfectly functional but just do not have enough monitor space . bottom line , great card for older pcus slotted system if you want more monitor space . +487 GraphicsCard POS 5 be worry buying use but it be in great condition and a great price . warn some older power supplies -lrb- past 2-3 year i dont think you will have this problem -rrb- do not have all of the power connection to fit -lrb- you will need 8 pin -rrb- . i be able to find a adaptor in a mom-pop store ... the seller send it really quick now feel comfortable with use item . +685 GraphicsCard POS 5 install the card in 6 minute and its work great . Sapphire include everything I need . I be short one power adapter but they supply two , so it work out fine . just run Windows the card be silent . you can not even hear the two fan . I fire up just cause 2 for about 2 hour to try and push it a little and it barely warm up . I run out of time but just run Windows 7 64bit it run at around 35c and the hottest I be able to get just cause 2 to push it be a max of 45c , and even then the fan do not need to speed up much . please note that this be only a day so far that I have it but so far , the improvement over my other card , the hd 4850 1gb be noticeable . the benchmark in just cause 2 be over 75 fp where the 4850 have 25 fp with the setting I choose to test it at . I have the setting turn up with the hd 4850 1gb but now I go to the max with this hd 6950 2gb and it do not even burp once ! awesome . I almost forget ... accord to the reading from techpowerup gpu-z 0.5-5 this new 6950 use less power than the hd 4850 do ! at least with the VDDC sensor log . I 'll have to check the other # 's . needless to say , I be not disappoint . I be very happy so far . I also fire up Assasin 's creed 2 and Bad Company 2 , with both run flawlessly . although I must note that the hd 4850 1gb do also run those two very well , now I can crank up the setting to the max and not lose any performance . I can not wait for battlefield 3 to try this card out on it ! +165 GraphicsCard NEU 3 buy this card on a tight budget to replace a 9800 gt that start get graphical glitch , be expect it to run at least similar in performance but I be wrong by a long shot . while this card support DirectX 11 and claim to take gaming to the next level , it fall short . run it in a Quad Core system with 8gb ddr3 with more than adequate psu and the card struggle to run game such as the Witcher 2 , the Hunter , Dungeons The dark Lord even at lower resolution . I try everything from 1024x768 up to 1600x1200 on a standard CRT monitor to run it on my 40 '' wide screen lead tv @ 1920x1080 . this card just be not mean for any serious gaming . that be not to say it do not run any game , it do run Sims medieval and portal 2 fairly well . this be a major step down from my old BFG 9800 gt oc 512mb card , the only gain I make here at all be dx11 support . I think this card fall behind somewhat consider it rely on get all its ' juice from the pci-e slot instead of have its own power source be plug in . it do play video fine as expect , but then again so do the old 7600 g agp card in my old system . if you look for a gaming card on a budget , I would overlook this one and spend the extra 20 odd buck and get a 9800 gt 1gb card or for close to the same price the gt 430 outperform this card as well ... +291 GraphicsCard POS 5 December 26 , 2011 update -- my wife get I one for Christmas . after my previous experience below , it be exactly what I want . I just try it -lrb- have already load the driver as note below -rrb- . it be work great ! Hmm -- I have another monitor that I could probably use with this computer ... December 11 2011 update -- as indicate below , the purchase be for the church computer . it have be install there and be use successfully in the Worship Service today . it continue to be easy to install and reliable . ORIGINAL -- I install this today . and it work great immediately follow installation . -lrb- 1 -rrb- I make sure that the device be not attach to the computer as note in the guide . -lrb- 2 -rrb- I go to Startech.com and click on download and driver , then enter the device name and dowload the driver . -lrb- 3 -rrb- then I run the driver . -lrb- 4 -rrb- as note in the guide , it eventually indicate that I need to restart so I let the computer restart . -lrb- 5 -rrb- I have the monitor and and cable ready but as note , wait until after the computer restart -- and I give it a few minute so that all application be up and run . -lrb- 6 -rrb- then I plug in the usb cable to the computer -lrb- 7 -rrb- the screen come on immediately . I do go into the system setup as suggest to review and eventually change another monitor so now I have -lrb- a -rrb- laptop screen -lrb- b -rrb- monitor 2 which be connect to the VGA port on the laptop -lrb- c -rrb- monitor 3 which be connect through the USB2VGAE3 each be on and each have different item display . I want to check this out on my computer before we install it on a laptop at church which be use for morning worship presentation -lrb- well it be until we add a new screen which it could not handle -rrb- . so - it be go to be use there . and probably in a month I will be get one for myself . and then probably one for my wife . all in all , if it the new one work as well for I as this one have , I would give it more star than 5 . it be nice to have a product that work well right from the beginning . thanks Startech.com and thanks amazon.com . +107 GraphicsCard POS 5 I install this pcus card on a pemtium 4 computer , it have no pcus express slot , the Sparkle Geforce 8400GS perform great , it run Windows 7 with no problem include Aero , as I say a very good pcus card +562 GraphicsCard POS 4 the card install without any issue and work fine for the application that I run on the machine I install it in . I be not look for a top-of-the-line video card because that be not what I need . I need a good video card that be not too expensive . this card fit my need very well . +610 GraphicsCard POS 5 Got this so I could connect 2 monitor to my computer . many of the fancier card require a large amount of power . this one work fine with a 300w power supply . this be not a card for hard core gamer , but if you want to have dual monitor it work quite well . installation take about 5 minute , 4 of which be get the computer open . +46 GraphicsCard POS 5 would like to give 2 thumb up on a great card unfortunately i order right before price drop so that would be my only gripe other than that play any game max setting have not overclock yet but this card have great potential to do so amazon be quick as always anyone in the market for top of line card i would recommend because once overclock they beat gtx680 in some game or come very close and with recent price drop be 469 or cheaper no driver issue at all as 12.3 come out before i get card +90 GraphicsCard POS 5 I need this to repairage desktop . good price . installation be a breeze , no issue with software , video card , s-video cable , DVI adaptor , software cd all include . arrive in required time from seller . +295 GraphicsCard POS 5 my old emachine t6520 run fully up-to-date xp come with a graphic chipset on the motherboard , and its display ability be start to flake out . any old graphic card would have improve it , but on the grounds that overkill be always enough I buy this one base on user recommendation . it work fine . my big HP monitor no longer go black on I with `` input signal out of range '' message , and there be no shadow image offset by 1\/4 '' from the main display on the screen . what be not to like ? somebody in a negative review of one of these GeForce card claim a DVI adapter and s-video cable do not come with the card even though they be describe on the box and on the item page at Amazon . wrong : Mine come with both , but it be true I almost miss they . I think the unhappy buyer open the wrong end of the box , as I do ; the adapter and cable be push into one of the fold cardboard box-end reinforcer . Easy to miss . I do not come across mine until I be about to throw the box out and wonder why it seem just a bit heavier than I think it should . +734 GraphicsCard POS 5 build a pc recently and I go with this video card . I do a lot of 3d rendering in design software ; this video card couple with my i5 processor do a wonderful job at pump out rendering like no tomorrow . for you gamer out there ; it can run Witcher 2 on high setting , to give you a hint at its benchmarking . 5\/5 would buy again . +251 GraphicsCard POS 4 add this to a dual-core Intel Atom motherboard , to play some older game . Works as advertise . real Time Strategy -lrb- RTS -rrb- game rise of Nations play smoothly . pro : 512mb dedicate nvidium processor far outperform 16mb intel onboard video . con : in my ITX case , temp reach about 135 degree near card . +867 GraphicsCard POS 5 great bang for the buck . Performance be exceptional for its level , and Sapphire have never fail I on qc . do not add any noise when under stress . +302 GraphicsCard POS 5 wait people this be amazing graphic card for the price ... so hold on and breathe ... breathe ... the game i throw at it just explode with display before you eye ... so anybody who grace there eye on this beauty don ' -lrb- t stick just click . laterz people . +118 GraphicsCard POS 4 I upgrade from a gtx 260 . this video card work the first day i get it . I be run bf3 on ultra setting on 1080p without any lag . when I boot my system the next day , Windows 7 keep lock up due to a NVIDIA driver issue . I do not matter if I use the latest driver off of NVIDIA web site or the driver provide on the driver cd , Windows continue to lock up after approximately 30s . evga be a great company and honor its warranty . I hope to get this issue resolve ASAP . until then , I have revert back to my gtx 260 . my power supply -lrb- Antec Quattro 850 W -rrb- be not the issue since my gtx 260 consume 201w tdp and @ 36a on the 12v rail and the gtx 670 only use 170w tdp and 30a on the 12v rail . Update : EVGA 's customer service rock ! the send I a replacement card and it be run as expect . all dx10 and dx 11 game be run at a average 60 + fp with graphic setting set to the max at 1080p . the temperature of my card do not get above 62c under full load either and it idle at approximately 27c . +24 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have a HP a250n pentium 4ht 2.60 mhz with 1gb RAM run Windows 7 . I have be think about buy a new pc , but figure it would be WAY cheaper to just upgrade my video card . after search around for agp4x\/8x video card , I find that the hd3850 get the most praise out of the other 512mb card , so I decide to give it a shot . as soon as I take the hd3850 out of the box , I new I be in for something awesome . when I switch out my NVIDIA geforce5200 128mb card to the hd 3850 , the fp on doom 3 sky rocket ... not to mention overall pc performance . also , Fallout 3 and leave 4 dead run a smooth 30fp at 1024x768 . this card give new life to my pc . dual DVI , S-Video , dual monitor support ... but no 1080p . only thing be that you have to get a 450w or greater power supply with 30amp on 12 volt with 2x4 power connector recommend . if you be look into get one of these , you might want to do some research before it arrive at you doorstep , so that you have everything you need to install it and have it up and run in no time without any issue . +489 GraphicsCard POS 4 I just get this yesterday . I have temporarily choose 4 star but will need to get it work before I can give it a final rating . the image show here seem to show both the old and new iteration of this model . the old version apparently have a black heatsink and a s-video port . the new version -lrb- which I receive yesterday -rrb- have a silver heatsink and a hdmus port . you 'll notice that when you view the image the viewer will only give you the little zoom tool -- magnifying glass with + character in the lens -- when view the up-to-date current pic . interestingly , though there be no longer a s-video port , the box I receive contain a s-video cable -- obviously a holdover . the kit also contain 2 low profile bracketss as well as 1 full size bracket that be attach to the card . the 2 low profile bracket be : 1 with DVI & HDMI cutout and then 1 with a db15 VGA cutout . the VGA port be connect by cable to the actual graphic card so if one have a low profile system with two open pcus slot next to each other then it would be possible to use both bracket -lrb- and hence , all three port -rrb- since the cable connect the VGA port be long enough to extend from the adjacent slot and plug into the card . FYI hopefully it will resolve happily but I be currently have trouble get it to work correctly . I be use the HDMI port but so far Windows start and then the screen go black after about 5 seconds of the opening sequence -lrb- in both Windows 7 64bit and Windows xp pro 32bit -rrb- I have just download and install new driver that be release a few day ago -lrb- 6\/1\/2011 -rrb- from nvidium 's website but so far I be only able to work in safe mode . another review mention follow the direction about bio setting but thus far I have not find any such direction though obviously will be continue my search . UPDATE : I get the card work correctly . I have overlook the fact the motherboard for the computer have integrate , onboard video capability and I need to go into the device manager and disable that after install the driver for this card while in safe mode . +642 GraphicsCard NEU 3 I purchase this card partly because of the good hardware review and partly because of the promotion that be supposedly include - the game dirt3 . what the text in the Amazon description do not say be that there be a expiration of December 31 , 2011 for the promotion . how do someone make a balanced decision to purchase something if this information be leave out ? I have a choice , in my mind , of purchase the xfx or the Sapphire version of this AMD GPU . the price differential be approximately the cost of the dirt3 promotion -lrb- let 's leave out the extend warranty of the XFX card for now -rrb- . I choose the Sapphire because I be interested in the game . now I find out I should have choose the XFX , and pay the extra money for the better warranty . I can not return the card because it be already install . in my mind I believe AMD or Sapphire owe I the game . have write both but I do not think I 'll get satisfaction from either one . 4 star for the card , 3 star for the deception\/inadequate notice . Update : after a couple of week I hear from AMD and they say they have extend the promotion . I download the game with no problem after that and be now satisfy . I just wish manufacturer would publish the expiration date in they description of the product promotion so buyer know what they are\/are not get . +588 GraphicsCard POS 5 really . unbelievable . overclock like nothing I have ever play with before . it be a choice between this and the 7970 . however , between the lifetime warranty , evga 's amazing customer support , and the continue durability of every Nvidia card I would ever use , it really be a no brainer . the 7970 may be the better card , but I would take slight speed decrease over the hassle with customer service , RMA 's , and\/or driver issue any atus card come with . do not hesitate . do it . buy it . you want it and you know it . +601 GraphicsCard POS 5 I be run dual-xeon on a old server box -- it have 8mb ATI rage integrate graphic . I plug this baby in and install driver -lrb- I run fedora 11 so sudo yum install kmod-nvidia-pa , from rpmfusion repo -rrb- and it work like a champ . I be currently use compiz-fusion and cairo-dock with 3d acceleration no prob . it be really a great card -- and yes to the other reviewer : my image be sharper right after I plug it in ! I think it have to do with color depth of the card . I have 3 more pcus slot so I might get a 9400gt too ... and dual\/triple\/quad screen ? +657 GraphicsCard POS 5 after search numerous electronic store for a video card that be affordable and easy to install I finally come across this device . all my husband want be dual computer monitor and the video card at the store be $ 75 + and difficult to fit a computer . this be plug and play . . so glad I find it ! my husband love it ! +199 GraphicsCard POS 4 Works great -lrb- slus -rrb- , no more crash in leave for dead . simply just work . could not squeeze my sound card in between these two new card anymore so use on board sound now . +702 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I buy this video card to allow my aging but very capable pc to use a larger widescreen monitor . I also look forward to finally download my videotape to burn dvd or post bit online . the main problem : there be a serious driver issue between NVIDIA and Windows Vista that have never be resolve . it have affect many thousand of user of NVIDIA card , and I be amaze they have not do anything about it . the issue cause the screensaver to do something to Windows . it have cause my computer to freeze , require a hard reboot several time . and it require a long time to come out of screensaver mode every time -lrb- I have time it from 16 seconds up to 2 minute -rrb- . it also keep the monitor on , instead of turn it off for power-saver mode . it cause a error message to come up : `` Display driver nvlddmkm stop respond and have recover '' which be how I find out about the thousand of other with the same problem -lrb- google this message to see -rrb- . I have disabled screen saver as a workaround , and this do work -lrb- it shut off the monitor successfully now -rrb- . but I enjoy the slideshow of my pic and would have buy a different card if I would know . I spend hour research the problem , install driver , ensure my power supply be adequate and I have sufficient cooling , etc. before I finally get to this solution . second problem : this card be describe as have a s-video interface , and even come with a s-video cable . however , there be no s-video interface ! almost unbelievable , I know . again , I would not have buy this card if I would know that . Summary : yes , it be nice to have widescreen and higher resolution . no , I definitely would not buy this card again and I will likely avoid NVIDIA because they seem very careless about sell product with known problem . +998 GraphicsCard POS 5 accord the review it work just like a gtx 570 but it be 50 $ cheaper , it have double fan that keep it cold and they be not very noisy I can play 50-60fps bf3 on ultra and a resolution of 1440x900 good upgrade from my old gtx275 the only con be that accord to evga 's web site it will be available for limited time , and if you want to go sli think about that +632 GraphicsCard POS 5 I must say , this product be amazing ! I be able to run ton of game on high or max setting , include Aion , Blacklight Retribution , Dragon Age 2 , dc universe , and League of Legends ! I love it do much . installation be pretty easy and I have never once install anything like this . just search YouTube for some guide and it 'll be a walk in the park . although , after first install it my pc do not recognize it but after a quick reboot it work like a charm . this should keep my computer able to run the newest game for year to come ! +329 GraphicsCard POS 4 first off I be use this with : i7 2600k @ 3.8 16 gig of RAM at 1600mhz 850 Watt PSU my performance in game use EVGA precision x monitoring . keep in mind these number be WITHOUT OC . with modest oc expect a 5-10 fp increase . Witcher 2 : all setting max , ubersample off - average of 60 fp . gorgeous . all setting max , ubersample on 30-50 fp . still very playable . recommend OC to increase the frame provide you want ubersample on -lrb- not a noticeable difference honestly to I -rrb- Metro 2033 : average of 40-60 fp . probably the card 's weakest performance . frame sit at about 50 , in some area it can dip below 40 . keep in mind this be everything max -lrb- aside from AAA , and 16x -rrb- . battlefield 3 : Everything max , vertical sync disabled . Multiplayer be at about average of 70 fp . some area of campaign can vary between 45-70 . very solid performance . this game heat up my 680 to about 79c , no other game take it that hot . Crysis 2 : all setting max , vertical sync disabled 45-70 fp depend on how many explosion and wide the environment be . some of the battle location in Crysis 2 be large and require lot of memory . can notice a slight decline in smooth gameplay . very demand game , give good performance . to play this game I recommend to OC . diablo 3 : this be a driver issue im about 80 % sure , all setting max ofc -lrb- not a demand game at all -rrb- yet when I first start play the game horrible stuttering and lag for about a couple minute . seem as if it need time to catch up to the normal 60 fp I get after the initial intense lag . weird . conclusion : Stock performance be respectable . OC recommend . Mine just so happen to oc alright . Make sure to disable vertical sync as this be hinder my 680 's performance greatly until I figure out i need to disable it -lrb- duh -rrb- . do not feel the need to overclock my CPU to 4.7 like I do before . 3.8 be fine . Hope this help . Feel free to ask question . +242 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card be so efficient , it handle everything i play . it be my first Nvidia card , except the gtx 560m in my g 74 gaming laptop . ive have a 6870 , 7870 and now this one , its like I do not have to worry about any hiccup or tear etc. ... I be definetly sell with Nvidia and its be hard to come to this and I do not know why ? maybe b\/c I always cheer for the underdog ? LOL whatever but I have nothing negative to say about my 680 , expcept that I only have one and not two ! my 7870 be a good card but I can not see pass up a 670 for a 7870 ? these new card be awesome , totally awesome and if you want to go with 3d , do not even consider amd . I do and let I tell you the compatablity stink ! not with Nvidia though ... I can state the driver be better all that stuff but I ` de sound like a broken record , go with this card and I promise you 'll not be dissapoint in the least bit +756 GraphicsCard POS 5 a friend ask I to upgrade he graphic card for he computer so that he could play game . there be one problem . he computer be a few year old . it only have PCI and AGP slot so I could not get the latest and greatest . I find this one and order it . the installation be a easy and I have no problem . after complete the installation I install call of duty and it work flawlessly . +156 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card be super easy to install and of course now I can play battlefield3 without terrible lag . you can not beat the price for this card ... ... get it +534 GraphicsCard POS 5 I install this card and it work as describe . the graphic be awesome and it set the resolution at 1080p automatically . just follow the instruction that come with it and you will have no problem . I put this one in a Dell Dimension 8300 that have 3.5 g of ram and 250g hd . I be a novice at computer repair , but a little research and I be able to do this . just unplug and press the power button and hold five seconds to deenergize stuff inside and you good to go . touch the chassis to get rid of static electricity , handle the new one by the edge and install . good luck ! +965 GraphicsCard POS 5 everyone once in a while one of those video card come out that can overclock like mad and hit much above what it be suppose to . . at stock 7850 be actually pretty weak for a $ 250 card consider its next-gen . it be better than the somewhat cheaper geforce 560tus but not by much . and it be slightly slower than 570 . to make thing worse it be not really much better than the previous gen Radeon 6950 . but the thing be amd have deliberately underclock the 7850 . that be because clock for clock the 7850 be only about 5 % slower than the 7870 . and the 7870 be a $ 300 + card . surely , they could not allow the 7850 to have the higher 7870 clock . here be the deal if you overclock this card it would pretty much lay to waste most video card this side of the gtx580 . and here 's why : 1 . 7850 scale very linearly with clock . that mean if you overclock by 20 % you real-world performance in game jump by 20 % . 2 . 1050mhz -lrb- 22 % overclock -rrb- be pretty much guarantee . there be not a single 7850 on the internet that could not do 1050 mhz . 3 . I get one of the bad sample and end up with a `` bad '' overclock of 1100 mhz 24\/7 stable . along with memory over clock , i get 25-30 % increase in frame rate compare to stock . 4 . at those speed the 7850 sail past the 570 and give the 580 a run for its money . its just unfair to compare it to the 560 Ti now . a lot -lrb- but not all -rrb- of card hit 1200 mhz . beyond that the scaling be less linear . from 1200 mhz you 'll only get a few fp for a huge increase in temps\/power . simply put overclocked this really be the best video card at $ 250 . if you do not you be throw you money away . and there be no reason why you should not . if you be not overclock you be miss out on 30 % free performance . please my friend , read up on overclocking and make the best of you money ! +664 GraphicsCard POS 5 insert it in my old Windows xp pc to watch Netflix . worked right away with the standard xp driver . work better when I load the driver on the include cd . much faster boot time and pc be much faster overall since it no longer use onboard video . receive in 5 day just like advertise . +335 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have be run this video card for a few week now with no problem . I be not a big time gamer , but it do everything well that I need it to do . +432 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have vista 32 bit - dual 17 '' monitor - and obviously a older pc -lrb- p4 3 ghz -rrb- . my prior card be AGP 8x 128 mb geforce fx 5200 - so this be a upgrade . but the new card be pcus -lrb- standard , not pci-express -rrb- , so I be curious how the performance be compare to agp 8x . my other card start cause window to crash -lrb- video driver keep crash , and I try every driver with no luck -rrb- . the video on this new card be WAY better . my vista rating go from 2.2 to 3.7 -lrb- video still my lowest score -rrb- . the graphic rating be now 3.7 -lrb- from 2.2 -rrb- , and gaming graphic rating be now 4.5 -lrb- from 2.5 -rrb- . I can tell you color be clearer than before , more vivid than before , window drag smoother than before . also video be less jumpy , and hd video be actually pretty clear now . I can actually use Media Center now , before it would cause my whole system to bog down . maybe the pcus be better , since it keep the CPU free somehow . I be not a hardware expert , but the card be work perfectly . only issue be to make sure my monitor be at 75 refresh rate , otherwise text be move around -lrb- not the video card fault , just be sure to set the refresh rate properly base on you monitor capability -rrb- . a great upgrade for 50 buck !! +807 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card be simply awesome . and ye the shader CAN be unlock . Watch a tutorial and just be sure that the bio switch be on the correct position . I have see review say this card be mid range , WROOONG . its not , this card be AMD ATI top of the line at the moment , single gpu -lrb- second to 6970 -rrb- \* the 6990 be dual gpu \* . the card its a great bargain , consider you get a great customize heat sink and double fan -lrb- almost no noise -rrb- , great overclock potential and dual bio . also two game include : Deux ex : human revolution and dirt 3 : a $ 100 value - for free - . I receive the instruction to download Deux ex , two day after I make the order . now , the problem people be have receive the Dirt 3 code , its cause the damn hacker break into the codemaster database several week ago , and steal Dirt 3 serial number . that why AMD be ask people to scan the coupon and send it by email as a extra step to validate you game . resume : want a top of the line video card at a good price , include a great game combo ? get this card . nothing right now can beat this offer . the best video card I have own . +713 GraphicsCard NEG 2 the video card install without any problem . I update driver to 12.4 and all seem great . card run cool and quiet . the problem start when I be use my browser . I would get screen flicker . this be not a issue in game that I could see . if I alt tab out of game to browse the flicker be much worse . I try all kind of fix with no luck . I decide to return the card and go with Asus instead . +264 GraphicsCard POS 5 EVGA GeForce 6200 LE 512 mb ddr2 agp 8x VGA Graphics Card - Perfect video card to breath a breath of fresh new life into a aging 11 year old socket a system . ship be a bit slow and the box be ship in a gray bag that arrive crushed . however , despite my concern , the card work perfectly , but should have be pack inside of a cardboard shipping box . +742 GraphicsCard NEG 2 I try to be as careful as I could about ground during the installation of this card but it burn up anyway +350 GraphicsCard NEU 3 good video card once you get it to run ! Software have a hard time finish install so I have to rig it to work . I now play syrim with every setting on ! do not hurt I have a I 7 960 processor and 16 gig of ram though . +456 GraphicsCard POS 5 this video card be amazing , i can run any video game ... 70-90FPS Battlefield 3 -lrb- 1360 x 768 , max OUT ULTRA , 4x aa , 16x af , full blur amount and field density ... +924 GraphicsCard POS 5 one word : AMAZING !!! this card be really quiet and run fairly cool even under load . so far very impressed with the performance as well . I be go to buy a slightly cheaper model but I do not regret pay a little more for this one . Crysis , what use to be the bane of even high end setup , can be easily max out at 1920x1200 . benchmark for current game also look great . Have have zero problem with the card so far . installation be very easy and hassle free . the only thing to keep in mind be that it be very long -lrb- 9.8 '' or 250mm -rrb- , so make sure you have the clearance . +792 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be a excellent product for older computer that simply do not support newer card . all of my game be now without lag and come pack with high frame rate -lrb- lightweight 3d game -rrb- . you do want to make sure there be not another card directly above this one for space and heat issue but overall , the card stay cool and maintain a high standard for old graphic . +931 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy this two of these card as a upgrade from a 2x5750 atus card setup . I be quite impressed at price\/performance ratio of these card . a couple of note , the card be extremely long , make sure that you can fit the card in you motherboard before you attempt to jamalama the card into the drive . in addition , these card do not come with the Crossfire connector - you must buy it separately - it do not say it be include , so it be not . the card be reasonably quiet , and can be overclocked fairly easily with the standard atus software . +468 GraphicsCard NEG 2 I choose to buy this one because of the 2bio setting and it can easily unlock the shader into 6970 . but it look like the new version -lrb- from first week of 2012 , the time i bring it -rrb- can not , no matter i flash it myself or use the magic switch on the card . CAN NOT UNLOCK the shader . I get the replacement , same issue happend there . if you want to buy one with the really unlock shader , find a use one maybe a good choice . I look some of the review on the Newegg , same issue happend . the new sapphire dirt 3 edition can not unlock shader anymore . +971 GraphicsCard POS 5 we original card fry . no success look at local electronic store , since agp be old school ... little stock remain . I should have go on Amazon first , but want one the same day . as it turn out , I find this card , which work wonderfully , price splendidly and be deliver in 3 day . very happy . +495 GraphicsCard POS 4 after do a lot of reading of review and research for usb video card adapter I learn about some of the limitation of video as well as the limitation on Windows Vista . have accept these limitation and make my purchase I can now report back that I be very happy with my purchase . I run three monitor now with the addition of the one usb to vga adaptor from startech . pro - Easy to install . just software install from disk plus connect the monitor . Quality of image show as good as my other monitor run on the same computer . extra monitor possible without change video card !!! -lrb- most obvious -rrb- Works with Windows Vista . con - slight delay noticeable when drag item across screen . large resolution play with either a delay or show less frame , but smaller video frame size seem to play ok . ca not use window vista `` aero '' theme but its not a significant difference in my case . I would recommend anyone look for to add a extra monitor to look at they computer specification and understand they need . as long as the additional monitor will not be the primary monitor for the user , I would believe that most people will be happy with this item . especially happy will be those who be run Windows Vista because not all usb to vga adapter support driver for vista . +463 GraphicsCard POS 5 my first gaming build be gonna have a msus 560 Ti Hawk . but by the time I save enough to build a new rig , the 600 series be out . more specifically , the Geforce GTX 670 have just make the shelf . while purchase component off of my `` wish '' list I benefit from enough savings and price matching at my favorite store to put that savings into buy the EVGA Geforce GTX 670 ! Sweet ! the performance be outstanding and my previous rig could never generate the fp that this GPU have ! plain and simple ... get this card ! if you want a gtx 680 and be not OC ` ing , save the $ 100 and get almost identical performance ! +621 GraphicsCard NEU 3 the card be fine and work well , but the company that process the rebate in know to deny they for no reason and have bad customer service -lrb- I do not know this when I buy the card -rrb- . I send in all the require documentation within a few day of receive the card . I check on the rebate status periodically and give a couple month for a update as it say it can take about that long for processing . when I check it again in late December it say decline and after email they they say they never receive it . I have never have a issue with rebate disappear in the mail , so after a couple more email and a phone call they say send in what you have to be resubmit with a picture of the retail box where the upc be cut out . well I do and use delivery confirmation to confirm they receive it and it be decline again . this time because it be outside of the postmark period and I do not have the original upc which I could not have because it be mail in the first time . I email they again to complain and express my dissatisfaction with they for have I waste time and money send in the document again when they have no intention of honor the rebate and the only response I get be `` thanks for you email - barcode miss and - postmark date be outside of offer 's time limit . '' if you do buy something that use 4myrebate . com copy everything before you send it in and make sure you can track the rebate and know that they get it . DO NOT COUNT ON THIS COMPANY HONORING THEIR rebate . +110 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card need three cable from the PSU for power ! count the number of video card cable you PSU have before use these in slus +154 GraphicsCard POS 5 I move away from ATI video card for the singular reason of video editing . CUDA make all the difference in such a experience , especially with hd video . this card , with it be add CUDA core -lrb- over the standard gtx 560 ti -rrb- be quite pleasant to work with . I use Adobe Premiere , and while the 560 ti be not on the normal `` accept '' list , you can easily add it so Premiere use it anyway . I have be do this for several month without any problem . I be also a gamer , and in this respect , the video card do not disappoint . all the newest game run just fine at the highest setting , and one and a quarter gig be plenty for anything other than a extreme 3d workstation setup . the cooling solution be not perfect , but it be not too loud , and it do not run too hot . some overclocking be possible , though I have not yet test the outer boundary of it . I be go to wait until summer be in full swing to make sure I do not loose stability as thing heat up in my house . this card be a great balance of speed , CUDA core , and price , and should fit in the budget for any gamer or video editor . +93 GraphicsCard NEG 2 it be not enough that you spend the time read review and look over the information as best you can . you make the best choice for you buck and you still get the short end . while it could have be worse , I be not satisfy with this card description because it fail to mention the DVI connector be actually dvi-d . if you do not know which DVI cable you have you would be smart to figure it out . about 80 % of the DVI market be use dvi-i -lrb- intergrated -rrb- this mean this cable be backward compatiable to run both digital and analog video signal . this card however be dvi-d -lrb- digtal -rrb- so this mean it be not backward compatiable and a dvi-i cable will not work with this card . so you leave with two option 1 . hdmus or VGA . since I do not have a Mini HDMI to Standard HDMI male to male lay around I 'll have to purchase it . they be not expensive , it be just the idea of drag out a simple task like upgrade a video card from 20 minute to 7 day because I have get to wait for it to come in the mail , unless of course I want to pay three time the value and get the cable at best buy . these video card need to be lable accordingly so people be not waste time and money . have I know this be only a dvi-d card I would have look around until I find the correct card , but since it have no mark and 80 % of the market be still use dvi-i one might assume this card would be intergrate ? be it really too much to ask to put pertinant information like this on the friggin label or in the ad somewhere ... sheesh ! +357 GraphicsCard NEU 3 I buy this card so I could connect a third monitor to my pc and it have only a single spare PCI slot if you have extra pci-e slot then buy a card for those as these pcus card be far more slower and they do not keep up with the speed of the other card when use as a extended monitor and when you be move stuff between they . for example play a video on the monitor connect to this card slow the browser movement and other screen refresh on the main screen and I guess that be expect . for a card which allow a third monitor to be connect to browse or checkout pdf 's this be great . if you want to play the xplane or similar game to get a cockpit feel with three monitor this be not the right card for the job . +50 GraphicsCard POS 4 I replace a older card in which the fan be grind . the older card be a 4200us with 128m of memory , but be much larger in physical size compare to this card . the new card work well . I do not notice any performance improvement , but it work without flaw . the best thing be that it run without fan . I expect to see some benefit due to the memory . I try to run hd video , and this card will not run it -lrb- I do not expect it to -rrb- . but , my processor -lrb- p4 2.8 single core -rrb- be a bottleneck as well . overall , this card will get the job do , and allow I to keep this system run for another year or so . +929 GraphicsCard POS 5 this video card be faster than most , DirectX 11 ready and require no auxiliary power . it run strictly off the pci-e video slot . under heavy load , it do not exceed room temperature and the fan be whisper quiet . plus , it be dirt cheap . no brainer . buy it . +547 GraphicsCard POS 4 I purchase this card to replace a 2-yr old 8600gt . I expect it to be faster due to the larger 1gb -lrb- vice my 256mb -rrb- memory but it turn out it be roughly 15-25 % slower . after do some further research , I believe it be due to the smaller 64-bit datum channel -lrb- vice the 128 bit I currently have -rrb- . so gaming be not that great with it . it be do fine in display a dual monitor setup though but that be about it . Windows experience index give it a 4.8 . my old card come in at 5.8 . recommend get something with a 128-bit datum channel or spend the extra dough and get a ddr5 card . thanks for reading . +448 GraphicsCard POS 5 buy the card to replace 2 gtx 460 's in SLI . mainly for the increase VRAM . my 460 's be the dumb down model that only have 768mb of VRAM . which really be not enough to game at 1080p on a 1920x1080 resolution . I notice performance hit in a lot of high end game graphic wise like Crysis , Metro 2033 and even skyrim with mod install . stutter be common in large open environment and it be a pain in the ass to deal with . the 448 core fix all of these problem . no more stuttering in large open environment and I can max graphical setting without any hitch . to my surprise the 448 core be actually faster stock then my 460 's be overclock . maybe it be just my system , but most review show slus 460 's beat a single 448 core\/570 and just a hair below a gtx 580 in term of performance . overclock can fix that too since the 448 core be a great overclocker . my motherboard be a huge bottleneck for my entire system be a old am2 board but even then I have be able to push this 448 core to 880mhz stable @ 1.075 v so far . this be usually achievable with lower voltage for most people . so I 'll probably be lucky to hit 900mhz at 1.1 v. but even then the performance increase from 80mhz be noticable . the card run cool with a tweaked fan profile I have set in MSI Afterburner . it idle at around 30c and load around 68-70c while gaming . for the price I get this card at it be definitely worth it consider I 'll probably be able to turn around and sell my 460 's for a equal cost . mean this card practically cost I nothing . if you can get a 448 core for $ 220 or less then jump on it . people argue that the gtx 480 be a better deal but the card be on a older fab that run way hotter . that be the main issue I have with the gtx 480 be the amount of heat it put out and that it consume more power . another nice thing about this version of the 448 be how small the card actually be . this one be only 9 inch long . a few other like the Classified or Ultra model be 10.5 in so that may be something to consider if it be a tight space in you case . a few thing to remember if you be think about buy this card be that this will not sli with anything BUT another 448 core . a regular 560 or 560 ti will not do . so if you plan on go SLI in the future remember also that this card be a limited edition so it be probably go to stop sell soon and become hard to find . so get 2 right off the bat . another thing , if you use benchmark like Furmark or OCCT the 500 series Nvidia card have a build in power protection that automatically downclock the card to keep it within power draw specification . I find this out after run occt and think my overclock be stable . boy be I wrong and disappointed . you will have to stress stability the old fashion way of hardcore gaming and look for artifacts\/waiting for the game to crash and you driver to reload , lol . +1 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have have this card for a month so far and I buy it mainly so I could play the new Tribes : Ascend on max setting without any worry -lrb- which this card do just fine . I get a steady 30 fp even in high-action environment -rrb- . I think I might have some trouble get it to work with the 525 watt psu that come with my Alienware Aurora , but it work great . there be only one negative thing I have notice since I get this card , and that be it be big . it take up two PCIE slot in my Alienware Aurora case , so I have to remove my wireless network card -lrb- I use a wire connection anyway , so it do not really matter -rrb- because I want to keep my sound card install as well . all in all , it be a good buy . just know that it be big . +35 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have to say this video card be really cheap in term of the great product it be . maybe the software be not the best but the Video card work great . im use it to watch full hd video on the tv and the quality be amazing +424 GraphicsCard POS 5 be stick with a motherboard with a agp video slot , I think I would be stick with 128mb vram forever , or until I shell out the buck for a new board . follow the recommendation of a mmorpg friend , I order this card . after install the hardware and the driver , I immediately load Age of Conan -lrb- which be notorious for laugh at sub-par video card -rrb- , and my jaw drop . the render speed and the detail be amazing . unlike a previous card buy from a third party , this one do not crash every 20 minute . I could not be more pleased . highly recommend . +100 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card be enormous , before this I be rock a lowly Nvidia Geforce gt 220 . the 6870 blow it out of the water . I use it to mostly play MMO 's like world of Warcraft and Star Wars : The Old Republic . I do , however use it for more demand game such as Elder Scrolls iv : Skyrim . in Skyrim I run it on ultra detail with little to no issue FPS wise . I do not know the exact fp but I can say the it definitely run better than the ps3 version with this card . my rig : AMD FX 4100 4-Core Processor AMD Radeon HD 6870 8gb ram asrock 970 extreme3 amd 970 & SB950 ATX ddr3 800 AMD - am3 + motherboard +450 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have a Alienware Alx x 5 8 gaming computer that be start to show some age . I consider get a new one but it be too expensive and I need another couple year out of this one to justify the system cost . I decide to add some new , faster RAM and change out the gtx 2 9 5 video card . I choose this card base on review that I read and customer feedback . I have not be disappoint . the upgrade process take about a hour and be pretty simple . Make sure you have appropriate power cord , which I do ... luckily . I test the upgrade play bf3 multiplayer with all setting on ultra at 1900 x 1200 . smooth , quiet , and not as hot as my old card . I decide not to OC because it be fast enough as be . Game play be much improve . bottom line : the upgrade cost $ 450 but i feel like i have a new computer . my office be not as loud or hot and the upgrade be simple . +571 GraphicsCard NEG 2 I initially buy this product as my budget pc 's graphic card . I be not impressed . the card have only a 4.4 and 4.6 on Aero and gaming Windows experience index . however , this card can easily handle Bitcoin mining at 19.2 mhash\/sec . the $ 50 gt 430 I buy easily get a 6.7 on the WEI and handle game much better . however , it be 2x slower at Bitcoin mining , though that be not really all important to I . my advice : Stay away from this card and get a gt 430 or better . +168 GraphicsCard NEG 1 i buy this on the 3rd of August i have the card for a while it keep crash glitching blue screening crash my game have all sort of weird issue i have never ever see something so unstable in all of my life +717 GraphicsCard NEG 1 keep in mind I grab the driver directly from the site so it have the latest version . now from the very begin this thing cause my computer to crash and restart . the first time I notice this be less than a hour after install when I lock my computer to go take my break from work , come back and my co-worker say to box restart . so I log back in and within about 10 minute it happen again . so I disable the third monitor , restart again . Unplugged the usb device and it still restart . only after uninstall the driver do my computer stop restart . they say it work with Windows 7 , well yeah but it fail horribly . +875 GraphicsCard NEG 1 even though this item be advertise as a pci-e card , it be not . the item they show in the picture be what you will get . it be a agp card , not a pci-e card . if you do not have a agp bus on you motherboard , this card will not work in you computer . +396 GraphicsCard NEU 3 I have have the Sapphire 7970 now for a week and I be impressed but also disappoint at the same time . I be able to completely max out the overclock in overdrive on stock voltage without a hitch and can run Battlefield 3 max out and achieve 50-60fps most of the time . however the card just run way too hot for my taste and it do not seem to matter whether it be overclocked or not and it do not seem to matter if the card be run at 99 % or 70 % usage . the card seem to run around 78c-83c at all time on every game I have play . these next gen card be be praise for run cooler then last gen card but I have not see it yet . I be come from SLI would EVGA 570 SuperClocked card and they do not run nearly this hot . while play battlefield 3 on Ultra setting my 570 's never go above 75c so it seem strange that a single card run close or over 80c all the time . I have try move it to different slot on my board -lrb- I have 5 of they -rrb- , remove my side door , change fan , disable fan , play on low setting and nothing change the temperature a single degree . I be not a computer expert by any means but that just do not seem right . I should either see the temp go up or down , not stay the exact same no matter what I change . most likely it be a faulty card but I have find other people online that have the exact same issue . so it seem like the quality control over at Sapphire be lack a bit to let so many defective card out the door . I have decide to return the card and order a dual-fan Sapphire 7950 and just overclock beyond the stock 7970 clock . I hope the new card run a little more consistent temperature wise then this card but I wont hold my breath . if the cooling be better then I would definitely keep the card . it overclock extremely well on stock voltage and run game incredibly smooth compare to my slus have 570 's . Update : I just get my Sapphire 7950 dual-fan card and what a huge difference . my temp at full load on battlefield 3 @ ultra setting never go above 54 degree Celsius . I do take about a 13fp hit by downgrade to the 7950 but it be so worth it . the 7950 run so cool and quiet it be remarkable ! I turn the fan to 100 % and even that be not as loud as my 7970 @ 40 % fan speed . if you want something that run cool and quiet then I highly recommend the sapphire 11196-02-40g radeon hd 7950 3gb ddr5 hdmus \/ dvi-i \/ dual Mini dp pci-express OC Version Graphics Card +550 GraphicsCard POS 5 I read many review before I pick the Visiontek ATI Radeon HD 4350 graphic card . my old HP media center 7167 have graphic chip on the motherboard and it be not up to widescreen or anything else . I buy a new 27 inch monitor and I need a basic upgrade to make use of all that new screen real estate . the card be easy to install it be quickly pick up by the old xp media center and I be off and run . I work heavily with photograph and standard screen video editing . this card work great for that , I do not game on my computer so I do not know how well it work for that , the review say moderate gaming be ok . so far great . +893 GraphicsCard POS 5 run with : i7 2700k ,16 gb Corsair , crucial m4 . this thing just rip every game I play to shred . I can play sc2 with graphic max out on 2560x1440 resolution and still get 100 + FPS . best thing about this card be I order it early and get it for only 499 ! +927 GraphicsCard POS 5 buy this card with the hope that I would still be able to flash it to the 6970 shader after hear about it all over the place . to my surprise , Sapphire do you one better now . there be no need to flash the bio anymore -lrb- at least for I and I have see several other review over at Newwegg in the last couple day say the same thing -rrb- flip the dual bio switch to position 2 be all it take now . instant shader unlock . card be big , but that be to be expect . all my gpus have be Sapphire and I have never have any complaint . I like they trixx software as well . nothing bad to say about the card thus far . have sapphire flash the card for I be about the best thing a card maker have ever do for I lol . just have to overclock to 6970 clock and I be golden . Hopefully Sapphire continue to flash the card . I would like to get another to crossfire when the 7xxx series come out and this card , hopefully , drop lower in price . card be well worth IMO . +553 GraphicsCard POS 5 nice so far . replace a 128 mb 32-bit card . card work great in a all NVIDIA system , MSI mobo with a triple-core AMD processor , 64-bit xp and 6 gb RAM . the color be incredible in comparison . be play AOE Online and the color just jump out now . the game also take less than half the time to boot up . old video card need replace . note that this card do not have a fan . load this chassis down with fan at build so cooling be not a big issue . have not really have a chance to look at the specifics of the card , run temp or how it be affect the temp of processor . will review runtime performance and edit this if warrant . Works great after two day . hopefully I 'll be sing the same song two year from now . +973 GraphicsCard POS 4 Order complete fast and these card rock !! setup in quad-sli run max setting in Star Trek Online , Batman Arkham City . love these card !! +138 GraphicsCard POS 5 this graphic card arrive well on time , easy to install and it work sooooo well ^ ^ in fact it be better then most graphic card . +409 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card be so awsome I have to take the time to write a review . MSI , Sapphire , and he -lrb- if its iceq -rrb- ussually be the brand that run cooler and this card be no exception in term of perfomance but in price its get no equal and you will be charge 40-90 dollar more for MSI 6870 which can get you a 6950 for nearly that price from he iceq edition . . the temp at idle be really low 30-33 celcius spike above somtime just sit there . temp under full load dont go above 70c and stay 63c-67c under full 15 minute furmark benchmark test . I do not oc this GPU as I have no need to but for sure it can take a OC heat wise easy I do adjust the fan setting tho with the sapphire trixxx software the fan be set pretty conservative even at higher temp so i raise by a few % for above 70 celcius but it never go above that ever . I have a small xps8300 case its small and only have stock fan and be report to have some heating issue for some people but its easy breezy for this gpu . this gpu would run even cooler with a good case with vent n fan . for the price this card be awsome 160 plus 20 $ rebate and dirt 3 cant really beat it . and for whoever be wonder because there isnt much info about it if you get the stock 460 watt psu with the xps8300 from dell it will run this 6870 GPU !!! I cant attest for overclock it but it will for sure run like a champ in the xps 8300 . comp be on all day everyday between I and my wife play game non stop for 2 monthe straight . any higher watt gpu tho and you would need to get a bigger power supply . +471 GraphicsCard POS 4 I have it plug into a work laptop . a couple of thing : First , you get message when you try to install the driver about how they be not Windows certify or approve software . second , when the computer go into sleep mode and you wake it back up it flicker a big before you can type . the only other thing be that the first time I go on a business trip and come back and plug everything back in , I have to re-install the driver and reboot the pc . I be hope that do not continue . if it do , I 'll update the review . +689 GraphicsCard POS 5 this video card be awesome . run everything max would out , and super cool -lrb- sub 70c -rrb- the entire time . I actually can play two game at once with both hit V-Sync cap , which be awesome when you like MMO 's . +982 GraphicsCard POS 5 you will not find a better value in a 600 series Nvidia graphic card . this card be factory over clocked and come with a exceptional warranty . customer service be incredible . I use this card with 3dvision and its ultra smooth . this card with Virtu MVP give score of x4500 and p11500 in 3d mark 11 . from Syrim to bf3 to Metro 2033 , nothing faze this card ! +896 GraphicsCard POS 5 I 'll make this short and simple for ya . just buy it ! no seriously . . ! this card be amazing . . ! ok yeah , i upgrade from a nvidium gts-8800 so it be a huge improvement from what i have . I be not much of a pc gamer so i do not feel the need to upgrade the video card until i start editing 1080p video . I be use vega pro 11 64bit and my poor nvidium card be not support . I have to use my CPU for render , and let I tell ya , it be painful ! 9 minute long 1080p video be take I ~ 45 minute to render . with this card i be able render the same video in less than 7 minute due to its GPU acceleration . ! I do run into a few issue with vega with this card at first due to a driver conflict with my older nvidium car . I end reload my entire pc because it be cause I lot of headache . after my reinstallation of window everything run smooth as butter . my psu be a 550watt and it seem to be run it fine . I would recommend something equivalent or larger . also this card be loooong . roughly 11 inch long , so you best account for its size before purchase . its very quiet , i can hardly hear it run even under heavy load . accord to gpu-z , this little Gem use the reference Cayman GPU . ! you know what that mean right . . ? no need for a bio upgrade to unlock it , just simply toggle the switch to the opposite position and booooyah . . ! 1536 shader available to ya . . install the Trixx utility and change the clock to 880 \/ 1375 and voltage to 1115 and you 'll have yourself a hd 6970 for the price of a 6950 . this card be a fountain of WIN . . ! temperature be stay around 51c-58c under heavy load . . +63 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy this graphic card for a circa 2004 Dell 4600 . after 5 year of heavy use , I blow a couple of capacitor on the original OEM card -lrb- as evidence by they domed top -rrb- . the sound they make when they blow be a fairly loud , short burst of air sound -lrb- sort of like a beat of a drum -rrb- . anyway , this new card be easy to install and work better than the original ever do . I can run at a higher resolution and the lcd screen seem clearer . +510 GraphicsCard POS 5 I can finally get some serious acceleration in after effect cs6 with the GPU CUDA Mercury Engine on Mac , with technically a unsupported card . I be try to get it to work with vray 2.0 for maya 2013 at the moment -lrb- gpu\/rt -rrb- to no avail , but Cinema 4D 's physical render in insanely fast . I have not try any game , as I be use it for work only . +615 GraphicsCard POS 5 I remember back when nVidia be give ATI a run for they money . ATI have long since step up it be game to the point that even this `` lower end '' video card be top of the line . there be nothing low end about this card . it even have port on it for liquid cooling , and I be sure , would need it if I be use both digital port for two large screen . as it be , I be only use it on my wife 's office machine -lrb- and a bit of Star Trek Online when she be not in the office -rrb- . it do a awesome job at a very low cost . +996 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I buy this fan to replace my gtx560tus , since the 560 be make loud fan noise due to bad fan bearing problem , I return it and get this card for 289 , and it be a used card , I be surprised that amazon do not test this card out fully , I be aware that this be a return unit and there must be some problem previously , but it be a lot cheaper than the new one , and i be stupid enough to kind of get into the double fan crap . this card at stock clock , do about 5 to 10 frame better than evga gtx560ti fpb at 850 in trine 2 at max setting and 4x aa , temperature go over 80c when fan be set to auto and over 60 % speed , it be rain here today in LA and ambient temp be about 55f , i will say it run pretty hot , it have good performance but , the fan make rattle noise after 50 % of fan speed , but it be quiet at 40 % which be auto speed . I think amazon do not test the fan speed , , , but whatever , I buy the asus version of gtx570 , and the new one be 299 . it be still on it be way , but i be sure it will do better than this card . +531 GraphicsCard POS 4 do not let my review title scare you , this be a very nice card and handle solidly . pro : very fast and overclocking be one of the best 7970 model it be very cool under load which be a concern for I because I hate have a hot pc . the lack of gtx 680 's in Australia have push the price over $ 650 and they be still hard to come by so this card be very good value for money . it come with heap of goody include a hdmus cable : -rrb- con : it be bigger than 2 pci-e slot so make sure you have room . it make a really annoying noise and distinct noise while under load sometimes but this be not a issue for people who game with headphone . if you do not overclock or use bio switch this card be not as fast as expect but can push well beyond base clock . some game do get frame lag when hit the fp cap , I do not know why this happen . Games : skyrim max everything 60 fp which be cap black op promod 250 fp most of the time , can dip to below 200 world of Warcraft , average 80 fp max , 160 + with low shadow all test on stock clock render on Sony Vegas 11 be Super quick overall a very nice purchase but I regret not wait a couple month and get a gtx 680 +277 GraphicsCard POS 4 this card be easy to install in my lian-li standard atx case . it require 2 6-pin pci-e power connector from the power supply , so make sure those be available . the card run much cooler than my previous Nvidia 9800gtx + . the fan rarely spin up past 50 % , so it stay quiet . accord to other product review , this card also have very low power consumption , drop down to less than 10 watt at idle . it run game just fine . battlefield 3 work on Ultra setting on 1680x1050 . unfortunately my aging core 2 duo e6600 be not enough to run Battlefield smoothly in large game . but I do not blame the video card . I would say this card be a great value . interesting choice of output , one DVI , one hdmus , and one minus displayport . the only real negative for this product be that there be no dongle or adapter be include , so I have to seperately purchase a hdmus to DVI dongle in order to hook up my second monitor , since both of my monitor be older and only have DVI input . +536 GraphicsCard POS 4 love this card , this thing can play the latest game without break a sweat ... literally , the heat off this thing be minimal . professional user that rely on CUDA and iRay trace beware ... the precision float processing on this card be significantly lower than that of a gtx 580 . -lrb- nerd that do big computation on they GPU may be a bit disappointed , yes there be more CUDA core the core just do not handle as many float point -rrb- and those that want enhance performance on Autodesk 3D Studio Max and such will be SOL untill NVIDIA fix they iray program for the new Kepler chip . other than that its a wonderful card , but the deficiency catch I a little off guard as I expect next generation to be better in all situation ... some forum suggest NVIDIA have do this on purpose to boost sale of they Quadro and Tesla card ... : p say it aint so ! note : one other disappointing thing be that if you enjoy the software badaboom -lrb- gpu enhance video transcoding -rrb- you will be sad to hear that badaboom do not support this chip , and will not be release any new version for this ... : -lrb- +752 GraphicsCard NEU 3 I buy this so that I could watch the internet on we old Sony television . that would have be fine if we do not mind watch it in black and white . I try what I could -lrb- with my limited knowledge of video card -rrb- to make it work only to go online and find that other be have the same issue . we still use the computer and the card be good at least for send a signal to we 19 '' digital T.V. that we use as a computer monitor , but we would much rather have use the s-video for that old television . all be not lose though , after this experience we finally decide to buy a smart t.v. and watch the internet directly on television . +246 GraphicsCard POS 5 buy this for $ 70 after rebate -lrb- get the rebate already -rrb- . this can be flash to use in hackintosh system . it be basically rename from 5770 version . +688 GraphicsCard POS 5 pro : - quiet fan . they be pretty much silent when compare to my case fan which be quiet . this be my first silent card . this be my biggest selling point . I love it . - Cool . under load this card never exceed 65c . - backplate . not a big deal . look nice . add a little more stability . - higher quality component compare to a reference card . for example , compare the heatsink on this one to a reference heatsink -lrb- look up picture with google -rrb- . - fast . my card boost to 1280mhz out of the box . the base clock on this -lrb- 1058mhz -rrb- be faster than I be able to overclock my reference evga 670 -lrb- which also have annoying fan noise -rrb- . con : - my card have no headroom for oce further or it crash . my max clock be amazing however and it be stable . and I will not complain , in fact I be delighted to get the speed that I get . - GPU Tweak Software by Asus be not so great -lrb- I never bother to use it -rrb- . - pray that the card do not fail because then you have to deal with ASUS 's customer support . they make great product , but they support be terrible -lrb- to say the least -rrb- . other thought : it be a fact that some pre-overclocked card be unstable because Kepler gpus boost so high . I think ASUS be ask too much of some of these GPU 's -lrb- perhaps because of a supply shortage -rrb- . not all can stably boost to mid to high 1200 's . if you be unlucky and do not get a good GPU , it can be unstable and crash under load with certain application . its all the luck of the draw . Mine be terrific and exceed my expectation so I can not give it anything less than 5 star . some people report `` Red Screens of Death '' RSOD 's . it be my understanding that the problem be cause by certain GPU monitoring software . if it happen try different software -lrb- for example evga 's precision x -rrb- . Asus update they GPU tweak software and we 'll see if it fix the rsod problem . I imagine that some of the problem with instability that people be experience may be a bio issue or a problem with a certain batch . we can only hope that ASUS address this in the future . Amazon 's return policy be the best . if you need a rma because of a unstable clock , get a exchange through they . underclock you card until the replacement be ready . then see if you be lucky with the second one . or you could always get the non-overclocked ASUS non-top 670 and overclock it yourself . I probably would have go that route if Amazon have they in stock at the time I purchase this one . in short , if you get a stable card , you will have what be , in my opinion , the best 670 card on the market right now . if you get a unstable card , you could be frustrated -lrb- keep you old video card around for awhile in case of problem -rrb- in my case , I be very happy . UPDATE : my card still run fine . for those who be worry about issue or be have issue . ASUS have release new bio on they website that supposedly resolve problem with the card overclock too high . that should alleviate some concern about problem with the card . +506 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be a superior product with the right price . if you have a old onboard graphic card computer , this product would be the right one for you . I love that they give $ -lrb- ... -rrb- mail-in-rebate , which make it worth it even more ! Make sure you have a agp slot available before you buy this . this may not be a Nvidia GTX 580 , but it be still good for common game like the Sims 3 . buy this from Amazon ! +398 GraphicsCard POS 5 use this card have be great so far . I currently have it mount on a Asus Sabertooth x79 motherboard inside a NZXT switch 810 case . the temperature on it while gaming be perfect and the burn-in test in FurMark run without a problem , max at about 80c after around 20 minute of 100 % utilization . I do have some issue with a game where the display would randomly crash , though I could not find anything about it in the Event Viewer . I be chalk it up to the design of the game , Metro 2033 , as I have not have issue with any other . the initial card that be send to I have the screw on the fan mounting all screw up , so one of they be barely hang on . Watch out for that . return it and receive another one be suprisingly quick and easy , take about 5 business day total . +161 GraphicsCard NEG 1 the 1st of these card that I order cause bad artifact before either crash the driver , cause a sudden reboot or a black screen system lockup . this would happen at seemingly random time while play 3d game -lrb- Skyrim and Guild war 2 -rrb- . I rma would it back to Amazon , who send I a replacement card . I will say at this point that I be very impressed with Amazon 's RMA service . Express ship I a replacement before I return the original card and then reimburse I in full for the return shipping . thumb up . unfortunately , the replacement card be also a lemon . it would lock up my system just as frequently as the 1st card , and it be almost always a black screen lockup that need a hard reset to get out of . test with furmark , it would crash within a couple of minute . I try different driver version , move it to a different pci-e slot , reduce the pci-e speed on my motherboard from 3.0 to 2.0 , update to the latest firmware , but none of that make any difference . I have return this 2nd card to Amazon and ask for a refund as I can not keep ship card back and forth until I get a good one . it do make I wonder if there be a problem with my system , since I think the chance of get 2 bad card in a row be pretty slim , but I be now sure that there be not . my previous card -lrb- 560tus -rrb- have be rock solid on this system . and I just pick up a galaxy gtx670 sc a few day ago , which have so far be work perfectly on this system . this pretty much confirm that my system be fine and there be no compatibility issue between it and the GTX670 chip . very disappointed and frustrated with this evga card ... either I have extremely bad luck to get 2 lemon in a row , or there be some serious quality control issue here . +947 GraphicsCard POS 5 buy this card from another vendor because of availability , but by most of my electronics come from Amazon . this card at this point in time be the card to own if you like to play game and be run a 27 inch monitor at 1920x1080 . many reviewer will talk about the frame per second and this card will run with the big boy on most game out there at present . however , I have notice it be far superior to all the last generation card in graphic generation , that be better color and sharpness . probably because it run fast with everything turn on to ultra or high . it can be monitor with evga precision x be you have another video monitor , and I have observe my card run at 1.228 gig during intense game . I have no desire to overclock this bad boy any further than default as it be do the job better than advertise . this card be a joy to use , and I recommend it to anyone that love game , it be also very fast for just surf the net , etc. . +413 GraphicsCard NEG 2 purchase this for a older computer for a friend of mine , driver keep crash . when try to play mediocre game , image be scramble , very nice , not sure if it be card or motherboard incompatability , who know . if not it 'll make great target . +457 GraphicsCard POS 5 the MERCHANDIZE arrive very fast . the CHARGE for SHIPMENT WAS very low the video card be more than expect thanks AMAZON for a great SERVICE JOSE +963 GraphicsCard POS 4 I would like to give a proper review of this video card so that people know what to expect when they drop over 250 usd on a piece of equipment . First off , let I give you the specification of my system so that you have something to reference : - nzxt Zero 2 full Tower Case - Kentech 950W Power Supply - ASUS M5A88-V EVO Motherboard -lrb- AMD Chipset -rrb- - AMD fx-8150 8-core 3.6 GHz OCed to 4.1 ghz - G. SKILLZ PC14900 RAM 2 x 4gb 1866mhz -lrb- 8 gb total -rrb- - evga gtx 560 ti -lrb- ftw -rrb- 1.25 gb gddr5 320-bit SLI Ready - ASUS Wireless PCI Card - 1tb 7200rpm 64mb Cache SATA 6 gb hard drive - Cooler Master Hyper 212 Heat Sink w \/ twin 120mm 2,000 RPM fan - 8 cooling fan total - asus 24x dvd-burner - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit when I open up the box and take it out , the first thing I notice be how large the card be . obviously , if you plan on use slus then be sure to have a large case with plenty of room . do not use a mid-tower case with this card or you will run into problem . I have a full tower case and still have to make room for it . if you have lot of fan , be sure the wiring be do properly so that you have little trouble install . also , note that you power supply must have at least 4 MOLEX -lrb- 4 pin -rrb- connector free and able to reach near the PCI slot in order to power this thing . this card use lot of power and it be a good idea to make sure you will be able to both fit the card and wire it properly . I use the two 6 pin connector that come off of my power supply since all of my molex connector have fan attach . now let I go over what I think be the biggest problem with this card and what seem to be a issue for some people . once everything be ready to go and you have all the latest driver install , pop the disc they give you into you dvd drive and install the program call eVGA Precision X. this handy program allow you to easily manipulate several aspect of the video card include the speed of the fan , the speed of the memory and the voltage . this be almost a must since this card generate so much heat . the automatic fan control be not great so you will need to utilize this feature in order to get the most out of this card . I test this card with several game , the newest be new Vegas . I max everything out in the nVidia control panel and all the setting in the game menu . I have absolutely no problem with the frame rate and there be no lag at all . my previous video card lag at the highest setting , even with a AMD fx-8150 but this new card work flawlessly . I also test Crysis and Diablo 3 . all work great ... just sit idle this card can run at over 120 degree fahrenheit if you do not manually set the fan speed . if you max it out , it be loud . you will notice it . I usually set it at 70 to 75 % when watch video and max it out when play game at full hd . if you do not have loud speaker then the sound of the fan may interrupt you gaming experience , so be warn . you can maintain a ok temperature at lower speed but to get the most out of you card , try to maximize air flow with additional fan or set it to max rpm when stress it . all in all , this a great choice if you look to save a few buck . it do have some issue with the fan though so if you do not like noisy fan then it be not for you . +80 GraphicsCard POS 5 like many other people review this video card , I buy it to upgrade my old Dell 2400 with its original Celeron CPU run at 2.08 ghz . install it be a bit strange because I do not install the driver first . I just install the card and boot up , expect a alert about the driver . the alert never come , possibly because my dsl modem be still on-line . it be a goofball move on my part , but maybe people would like to know that NVidia pretty much cover all the basis in this regard . so , to answer the most important question ; YES THIS NVidia CARD work perfectly with my OLD DELL DIMENSION 2400 with the orig Celeron chip still install . -lrb- read on about my CPU upgrade . -rrb- # 1 once the NVidia be through install its driver , then negotiate with my new ASUS ml228h 22-inch Ultra-Slim Widescreen LED Monitor , I notice the follow ; \*\*\* jaw-dropping clarity , resolution and speed . -lrb- speed mean a improve frame-rate at YouTube , Hulu , and the few video and movie I have in my download folder . -rrb- YouTube come up to about 20fp , Hulu about 25fp with my old CPU still install . -lrb- not too shabby for my old fossil Dell . -rrb- \*\*\* seamless integration with my system and recently add 2gb of new Cosair RAM . -lrb- yes , the Dell 2400 REALLY doe accept 2gb of ram . -lrb- 1gb per slot . buy faster mem chip than you need in case you upgrade you CPU as I decide to do . -rrb- I buy this ; Corsair memory vs2gbkit400c3 2 gb pc3200 400mhz 184-pin DDR Desktop memory kit \*\*\* seamless integration with my new Pentium 4 CPU run at 3.06 ghz . -lrb- I highly recommend this CPU for all Dell 2400 owner as it be one of the only two option originally offer by Dell . -lrb- I buy - Intel TRAY PENTIUM 4 3.06ghz-ht 512k 533fsb s478 -lrb- rk80532pe083512 -rrb- it install very easily and boot up flawlessly right from the start . it be be perfect ever since . -lrb- even though it be list as `` used work like new . '' -rrb- this new chip lift my frame-rate to 24fp for film project , and a full 30fp for standard video at both Hulu and YouTube - something I think impossible for my Dell no matter how I upgrade it . -lrb- yay ! no more video hiccup and drop frame ! -rrb- # 2 after the installation of the new CPU , I only see a bit of a improvement in frame rate etc. , but eventually I have to shut down for one thing or another , and when I boot up again , the first time I get on-line I notice some activity that worry I a bit . shortly after , I realize that the Invidia card be still on `` auto Update , '' and have already install a update driver and whatever else it seem to think I need . ordinarily this would have upset I a bit , but when I see the incredible improvement , I bite my lip and simply enjoy myself . it be only after that automatic update that I see the framerate lift to 24 and 30 for film and video -lrb- respectively . -rrb- # 3 if you have a slow old Dell like mine , I insist that you sell you sister , you car and maybe even you toilet to get a few buck together and make the improvement I do . the RAM , and CPU be not that expensive , and even the LED Flatscreen I buy be only $ 140 here at Amazon -lrb- what a incredible monitor . -rrb- those three addition together , pull I away from even consider a whole new machine . I be go to be happy for 3 to 5 year at least ! -lrb- although I must admit that I be not a game-player , so play the latest game at full speed be not important to I . -rrb- I apologize for the lengthy review , but it take I quite a while to discover all this stuff , and I figure that anybody interested in this NVidia card have get a old machine with pcus slot and not the newer pci-express slot . for I , NVidea aim this product straight at the older machine `` target market , '' and in my opinion , they hit the bulls-eye . I could not possibly be any happier with this product . and with all the other change , there be not anything my system do that do not happen in a blink of the eye ! boot up be faster , my desktop icon flash across the screen in a instant , and even my hard-drive activity have increase in speed . for those who be interested , in all my search , I discover that the single most important change I make be the p4 CPU chip . in several forum , I find the the l2 cache it feature , -lrb- 512 kb , -rrb- be much more powerful than what the Celeron chip have . this cache deal with core instruction set and since it do this work right on the chip , the large size of the cache have a huge and immediate effect on the overall performance of the machine . I prove this out for myself , which be why I let myself buy a USED CPU chip . -lrb- my thinking be , that a use CPU , might possibly have fewer hour on it than my old Celeron chip . -rrb- besides , these p4 be become more and more rare each day . -lrb- get yours now ! -rrb- I would recommend the Sparkle GeForce 8400g to anybody with a older machine with standard pcus slot . if it add a burden to my puny Power-Supply , I do not seem to notice it so far . -lrb- Registered temperature be still well within acceptable spec . -rrb- the provide driver and include software seem to deal with all the expect problem one might expect with such a powerful upgrade . -lrb- a damned miracle IMO . -rrb- I highly suggest the other upgrade too , but make sure you do you homework . verify what I have discover , and follow any and all tip when it come to installation . -lrb- like fresh new thermal-paste if you upgrade you CPU . -rrb- happy holiday ! +247 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy one of these card with the intention of unlock the shader to make it perform like a 6970 . after some struggle try to update the bio I notice some post on a forum that indicate that all I have to do be flip the bio switch over to the `` 2 '' position -lrb- towards the front of the card -rrb- . I simply change the switch and reboot and now gpu-z show it to have 1536 shader ! 6970 performance for a lot less money ! thanks Sapphire !! +326 GraphicsCard POS 5 simple to install , very large card tho make sure you have room and it take 2 pcie power per card , Works great . +338 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card be awesome . it overclock like a champ , and nvidium have now fix the vsync issue that initially plague this card . love it ! +43 GraphicsCard NEU 3 this product be very simple to install without any problem . dual monitor work well by themselves . I like this product . +728 GraphicsCard POS 5 I get this card to replace my 570 sc slus twin . I run a 5760x1080 setup and the machine be mainly use for web development , Video Editing and of course , gaming . hand down this card will outperform my slus with add benefit . with this card , be a single-card solution , my microstuttering problem become a thing of the past . in battlefield 3 , at 1920x1080 , I get a constant lock 120fp with everything on Ultra , HBAO on , and fxaa . VRAM usage @ 1500mb . at 5760x1080 , Ultra , HBAO off , and fxaa on . I get 50-60 fp and 1800mb vram usage . grant , more VRAM would have be great , but I be fairly satisfy with 2gb until gk100 come out in a few month . the card will oc to 1200 mhz without hitch although I have not try push for a higher oc yet . overall , I be very satisfied . only thing I would have change would have be a better cooling system . spec : i7 2600k @ 4.89 GHz OC 8gb ddr3 1600 RAM 7-8-7-24 1t 120gb ssd @ raid0 p67a-ud7-b3 rev 3.0 +556 GraphicsCard NEU 3 a do a huge amount of research about this card before get it . and what I come up with , be that its the best card available at the moment for under about $ 250 . after have use it I still stand by that . HOWEVER there be some thing to consider : 1 : it be ATI ... some of you may read this and say what be you talk about I love ATI ? well that be fine . however I have have nothing but terrible experience -lrb- until now -rrb- with atus . this be the only card ive ever get that have work at all . Whats more , ATI have a record for have terrible driver , and this be seemingly no different . but it do work ... sorta ... 2 . the game : WELL my favorite game be Starcraft 2 . my old card a gt 240 run sc2 on high at about 35fp . this card will run it at about 45 and get horrid drop in frame rate that make the game almost unplayable . on the other hand . battlefield 3 , on the HIGHEST setting , will play at 70-90 fp !! with 0 frame loss !! go Figure !! 3 . this be a Minor gripe , but the 2 DVI port be not the same . 1 be Digital + analog and the other be just Digital . the card come with a Digital + analog converter , as do most . this mean that unless you have a digital only converter than you cant run to monitor with out hdmus . maybe its just I but I have rarely see Digital only be use . so if you would like to play bf3 on ultra with perfect fp than I recommend this card to you . if you really just play sc2 like I than consider something else , or look into driver ahead of time . I will be look for a set of driver that work well with sc2 . +4 GraphicsCard POS 5 test all the benchmark out of the box with the latest driver as of the date of this review . Heaven 1920X1080 Tess : nor Shd : Hi Ani :16 x aa :8 x get 58fp . 3dmark11 performance -lrb- free option -rrb- graphic score 9500 . no crash yet , run cool and very quite . a + + card overall con be the power come out the top and the card be heavy and sag some . Time to go play . 6.9 update : go through the overclock procedure i get optimal overclock at only 1177 GPU boost +200 MHz memory stable no artifacts\/temp rise , start crash the bench app above 1200 + , complete system failure at 1300 + . I guess i should feel lucky consider many do not hit stock but many people with reference card be able to do more than what i be get . if you have a good card already i would wait for TSMC to resolve the 28nm manufacturing issue and then you be guarantee a card fit for overclocking . Kind of silly to do so now other than to ensure you can clock higher than reference , might be worth a $ 20 premium . +921 GraphicsCard POS 4 no driver come with this card which be disappointing . I know this be bare bone but it would not break the bank if you supplier include a cd with a driver on it , they be cheap and light and would not be see in shipping cost . get this card if you think you can find the correct driver for it , I get lucky this time and be able to make this card work , but it have be my experience in the past that a lot of card like these only work with the original driver and anything else make they crash . the graphic and color I think look more vibrant on my monitor than my old card and the game and video work well , no over heat issue and it be very quiet and the best price you will find anywhere . 4 star because no driver include . +444 GraphicsCard POS 5 I never write review . but this card be amazing . I be very skeptical at first , spend $ 400 + on a ` lottery card ' as people be call it . but with the new update from asus this card have be golden . OC have it a little with no problem , have not push it very far yet . I can play all my game on super high setting , there be shader and particle I never know exist ! I be in love . definately get a second for slus when I have extra money . love it !! +981 GraphicsCard POS 5 I be use this card for civilization V. this do not make any slow down and improve my game experience . and I have no see a fan of this card work , I mean , this card be very quiet . +354 GraphicsCard POS 4 Works well with xp . not the best with window 7 but do work . will run aero on window 7 . hd video skip on win 7 . hd video run smooth on xp . small driver issue with with window 7 depend on you monitor . if you try to squeeze performance out of a old system with a pcus input and stock power supply this be a cheap way to get by . +899 GraphicsCard POS 5 I install this video card in my 2001 Sony VAIO PCV-RX850 APG Slot . I power up the computer and Voi La. . I open Google Earth and the difference be phenomenal . work with Daz Studio 4 and Poser 8 , my system -lrb- xp , sp3 -rrb- do not crash nearly as often as it use to ` out of memory , program must close ' . these program work much faster with the new video card , presumably because of the additional RAM on the card itself . for example , render time in poser 8 take half as long as it use to with the onboard Sis 650_651_740 Chip type : Sis 651 rev 00 . I be very happy with this card . +490 GraphicsCard POS 5 I need a bigger , faster card for my son 's pc so he could play Lego Universe -lrb- which be a Christmas present this year -rrb- . this card be list on they sy req page . plug it in , and this card put the old 128mb power color to shame . great speed , great graphic , better quality graphic and speed for the game he already play . great deal for my 7yr old son 's computer . +179 GraphicsCard POS 5 I get this card through Amazon to replace my ATI X1550 pro that be in my desktop previously to get the full gaming experience from my desktop and notice a difference right away . my pc 's processor be not nearly work as hard , when I go into the system 's option on doom iii the auto adjust go from high Quality to Ultra High Quality without batting a eye , and the graphic seem more life like like than it do before with alot more detail . I have decide rename my card to ATI 's bavc3850hd -lrb- big -- Video Card 3850 hd -rrb- with emphasis on the `` a '' due to the size witch be at least 5 inch bigger than my ATI x1550 , my case be able to seat with no problem but would not try put this baby in anything less than a full size atx tower due to it be size . need two 4 ide pin power plug that will fit into a adapter that then plug into the card itself to power it . atus say the minimum be a 450w psu but I would use at least a 500w psu -lrb- Mine be a raidmax 630w -rrb- . I do not bother with the driver cd that come with it but instead download they from -lrb- ... -rrb- along with the 8.12 patch for VISTA and before swap card I have remove all the previous driver , load the driver in Windows xp the process take about 2 min in Windows VISTA it take about 20 min -lrb- this include the 8.12 patch -rrb- when do it do look great , just take alot longer to load in VISTA . overall , a excellent card and well worth the upgrade but as most reviewer have mention this will most likely be agp 's last solid upgrade before ride off into the sunset , as of this write ATI be the last Video Card company to make agp card but I doubt they will for much longer since all mobo manufacture have turn over to pcie , they will probably all but be go by 2011 . this last upgrade will at least give I another year or two before I have to replace my aging base INTEL 865 PERLK Desktop -lrb- I have originally build in September of 2003 -rrb- . System Specs : p4 3.4 ghz socket 478 , 1 mb cache processor INTEL 865 PERLK mobo 4gb of ddr1 400mhz pc3200 RAM 680W PSU 300GB IDE hdd 24bit 5.1 Creative Sound Card Edimax Wi-Fi Card 1gb intergrate Intel NIC ATI Radeon HD 3850 AGP -lrb- replace ATI Radeon x1550 -rrb- Windows 7 Ultimate sp1 -lrb- 32 bit -rrb- Update March 29th , 2011 : I have pass this pc rig to my Son with the above system specification as above and it still play almost about 90 % of the game out there with excellent gaming quality . the Windows 7 index give this card a 7.0 -lrb- out of 7.9 -rrb- for performance . it be amazing the longevity this card have give this old rig . Update July 13th , 2012 this rig have now be pass on to my daughter -lrb- my son get a new desktop for Christmas of 2011 -rrb- and still work like champ with this card , I have now have this desktop total of 9 year and work great . never think it would last this long ! +795 GraphicsCard POS 5 Ok , let 's begin with this , if you have to be at the top of the heap and have the best for you rig , this card be not for you . if you have a budget , common sense , and a big enough case , this card be a `` must have '' . I buy this card about a year ago and it still give back whatever I throw at it . there be enough growth potential that this card should be able to handle anything for the next couple year or so , with that be say , let 's review the card itself . this be a pretty big card , I would definitely recommend a full size case for this one , and a mother board that be of decent size also . the air flow be not a problem for I as my rig have plenty of fan for heat -lrb- sound like a b-29 -rrb- lol , however the fan do not bother I . Games , porn , movie , all be good with this card , it display blu-ray 1080 just fine without a hitch . Budget : my rule of thumb have be that a graphic card should be where to spend money . motherboard and CPU be where you should spend the most and graphic should be # 3 on the list . I try to stay in the $ 200.00 range , lower and you be buy yesterday card that may have a hard time keep up with today program , any higher and you be pay for bell and whistle you probably do not need . that justify a good card at a good price that should last for year to come . common sense : I recommend go to you local pc store and check the size of this card , be sure it will fit you rig and that it will not obstruct any slot you may want to use . if you have no problem , get it . I would also like to say that after do much homework on graphic card , they be all get bigger since so much importance be be put on they now . big case : this kind of carry over with common sense , if you be like I , I get a big case that be sturdy enough to stand the test of time . I could gut my case , put all new hardware in it and it would last another 10 year . it have great airflow , and that be the most important thing so as to keep component cool . ok , back to the card , from the info I have gather from other review and personal use , I think this card be awesome . I play Bloodstone , COD , Star Trek Legends , and other without any problem . it even make the older game that I play come alive . AMD 9850 Saphire 6870 4 gb ram MSI am2 + mb soundblaster audegy 2 900 w power supply Cooler Master case good luck !! +961 GraphicsCard POS 5 I just receive my card last night and only get a little playtime in , so I have not wring it out yet -- that will come tonight when I load Skyrim . so far this seem a welcome upgrade from my `` vintage '' 256mb nVidia Gefore 7900GS . the card run cool and quiet , with great performance -lrb- for I anyway -rrb- , without break the bank . one thing the description do not mention , be the card currently ship with a certificate for a free download of dirt3 ; perfect for try out the card on my 27 '' monitor . +839 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be one of the best video card that I have ever purchase for my computer build in year !! thanks vision tek for such vivid color . +663 GraphicsCard POS 5 what can I say ? Custom cooler with custom pcb , top edition card know for quality . buy this card now . you will not regret . only negative about Asus be the rma process . +675 GraphicsCard POS 5 I do a lot of research before decide on this card . the main thing that make I decide to buy it be ; 1 . high quality component . this card be not a cheap version of a 6950 , it be a solid card with japanese make capacitor -lrb- the best -rrb- and great construction . 2 . quiet ! this card be 100 % quieter than my last card , a 4890 . my wife love it that my computer can not be hear in the other room now ! 3 . cool ! this card run extremely cool . the two fan configuration do a excellent job keep it cool -lrb- and be also the reason it be so quiet , the fan can run at a lower rpm and still provide more cooling than a single fan -rrb- . 4 . fast fast fast . this card , while not a reference design -lrb- for unlock shader -rrb- be still a very fast card . it blow away every game I throw at it , and I can finally run crysis at max setting ! one thing to remember about reference vs. non-reference card be that when you unlock the shader , you only get a 3 % performance boost , and that be at the cost of a hotter running and louder card -lrb- due to the single fan -rrb- . bottom line , if you be look for a great clard that be fast , quiet , cool , and have some overclockability , this be the one to get . +167 GraphicsCard POS 5 I be vary happy with this card and I be plane on order another one , you can not beet it for the money +308 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy this card to play the new Diablo III game . it run it like a champ with all setting max out on a older dell xp machine with a quad core processor and 4 gig of ram . +465 GraphicsCard POS 4 it arrive and work perfectly alongside my APU . I turn off dual graphic cause some game do not support that , and it run just fine by itself . very good card indeed . however , my screen sorta glitch when i go to video on youtube and back to my desktop . I be not sure what it be but i do not think it be good . +272 GraphicsCard POS 5 Standard full size pcus card -lrb- extra wide -rrb- -- bracket in the box to make it low Profile if you need a low profile card . for Windows xp user use Integrated Graphics that come with you computer -- after install the Start Taskbar with all its icon will disappear unless you do the follow after the new card install : Right click my computer -rrb- then leave Click Properties -rrb- hardware -rrb- device manager -rrb- Display adapter -rrb- then right click the `` Integrated '' Graphics Controller -lrb- example : Intel 82865G -rrb- -rrb- click DISABLE -rrb- Click Yes I want to -rrb- click the Restart prompt . you will know that you will still have a display because the GeForce Graphics card will also be list in the Display Adapters field above . other reviewer call this disable the on-board graphic in the device manager . when computer restart you have the Start Taskbar and its icon again -- all normal . sparkle should add this information to the Quick Start Guide as last step . note : the internet give plenty of complicated advice -- reset the bio to Reinstalling Windows -- not need . +121 GraphicsCard NEG 1 this piece of junk work once , after reboot I have no display . I reinstall my old card and it work fine . DO NOT BUY !!!!! +181 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card be amazing ! get near 680 speed -lrb- and possibly greater with a good oc -rrb- at a non-premium price . I purchase this card specifically to drive multiple monitor -lrb- 4 at the moment , 3 1920 of various size and a lone 1680x1050 hanger-on -rrb- without nVidia surround and without purchase a ATI card due to they suspect driver . I be currently utilize all output on the card -lrb- 1x hdmus , 1x DisplayPort , 2x dvi -rrb- without incident . come from a original gtx 460 1gb , there have be a noticeable increase in performance in the few game I try , and it be allow I to run game with nVidia 's 3d enable and most graphical option max . the ability of this graphic card to scale as compute power be need be a good option for I as well , since I spend most of my time on a desktop and not run 3d application -lrb- 3d in this case mean fullscreen game , not stereoscopic 3d -rrb- . EVGA 's precision-x software be very slick , decent option , and I like it better than MSI 's Afterburner . I be initially try to decide between this , a 680 , and hold out for a 680 4gb version , and I have to say that I be glad I do not wait . I have no doa issue with the card , install , update driver , and everything work perfectly -lrb- as it should -rrb- . ran through several of my favorite game -lrb- most of which I have little issue run on the 460 , even max -rrb- and notice a much smoother experience . there be not much else to say . if you be here you have probably read reputable website review and comparison . from a value perspective , there be not a card today that compare favorably with this one . if you have do you due diligence and be on the fence about a 670 series card -lrb- and you be make a generational + leap -rrb- , go ahead and commit . I do not think you 'll be sorry . +533 GraphicsCard POS 5 buy this to update a older computer I use for when the grandkid come over . it really help with juice up some of the game they play ! +631 GraphicsCard POS 5 i like this card it be good for gamee like world of warcraf i love it it be also good to have 3 moniter so i can molty task all at the same time +145 GraphicsCard POS 5 I love this card , easy to install and play all game like a champ ! I have never have a problem with a card by evga , they have never let I down . +280 GraphicsCard NEG 1 this be a review for the rebate portion of the card . if you be not interested , then do not read . however , I be post this because I feel it be pertinent information , and for I , it be what determine my get this card from this manufacturer . long story short , they have provide completely conflict information on the process of the rebate , and will do whatever it take to make sure that you will never get you rebate in the window that they originally advertise . here be the documentation of my experience : on Thu , Jun 21 , 2012 at 6:55 pm , write : -rrb- Dear xxxxxx , -rrb- -rrb- we be pleased to inform you that you rebate , with the basic service -rrb- level you select have be process and approve on 06\/21\/2012 . -rrb- -rrb- you Amex reward card will be mail within 8-10 week . please contact -rrb- we if you have any additional question . -rrb- -rrb- Below be the summary of you rebate registration information : -rrb- -rrb- track Number : xxxxxxxx -rrb- rebate offer : Sapphire special mail-in rebate -rrb- rebate Item : Sapphire Radeon hd6950 2g ddr5 pcie -rrb- rebate Item UPC number -lrb- s -rrb- : xxxxxxxx -rrb- rebate award : $ 20.00 -rrb- Service level Basic : $ 0.00 -rrb- final award : $ 20.00 so , 8-10 week go back from 6\/21\/12 . nothing happen . the tracking number they give I do not work , either . I send they another email : ----- original message ----- sent : sep 1 , 2012 2:38:14 PM Subject : Re : Rebate Processed Hi , just wonder where be my rebate card . I still have not receive it . the tracking number you give I do not work . all the claim history , accord to you website , say be : \* Claim Status history \* ------------------------------ Date Status comment 5\/19\/2012 5:22:10 AM Claim create 5\/19\/2012 5:23:28 AM Claim Completed , Awaiting Receipt of Documentation 6\/14\/2012 1:54:40 PM Documentation receive 6\/21\/2012 9:54:55 PM Claim be approve it should have be here within 8-10 week . can you please provide I a status update ? ---------------------------------- it take I another email and another week before I finally get a response -lrb- they advertise that they always respond within 2 business day , because customer service be `` very important '' to they -rrb- . here be the most recent email : on frus , sep 7 , 2012 at 6:46 AM , 4myrebatesapphire write : thanks for you email . customer satisfaction be very important to we and as such , we will respond to you email , answer any and all question within the next 2 business day exclude weekend . hello . you rebate have be approve as of `` 09\/01\/12 '' . it take 8-10 week from the date of approval for the rebate payment to be issue and send out . ------------------------------------------------- wow , really ? another 8-10 week after 9\/1\/12 ? what about they website and email from they , say my claim be approve back in 6\/21\/12 and that the card would be issue within 8-10 week from 6\/21\/12 ? complete and blatant lie . they clearly have zero intention of mailing I anything , hope that I would probably forget , and they could scam I and countless other out of a rebate that be owe to we , as what they advertise . they be also base in Hong Kong , make it more complicate when pursue legal action ... which i be sure they be fully aware of . just relay my own personal experience , hope to let everyone be aware of what they may encounter . I hope everyone be able to get they rebate and for I , it be just a fluke , but I think they response show they do not take customer service very seriously at all . +696 GraphicsCard POS 5 upgrade from a 6950 to this . I be now able to crank up my game to `` ULTRA '' and get 60fp in almost every game I play . of course if you be even consider this card you already know how good it be . +250 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy a HP Compaq , refurbish , in 2004 . good computer but it have only 32 meg embedded video ram . in the past year , the computer have simply be unable to play movie and some streaming video on my 17 inch monitor . I have at one time install a 128 meg card with a fan in the AGP slot , and the card have burn out after a year . I decide to try this card , since it use a heat sink rather than a fan , and use a PCI slot -lrb- in case a faulty AGP slot have contribute to the older card 's burnout -rrb- . Works fine . I have even purchase a 21.5 inch monitor , which look very sharp use the digital output include with the card . I do find , use the software , that brightness should be turn down from 50 to 45 on both my old and new monitor . I also set the `` Peformance-Quality '' adjustment to `` Performance '' in order to avoid movement blur on my 2 m refresh screen . one warning : I do have a black screen for several hour , until I read the direction again , and change by bio setting from agp to pcus . when the instruction suggest you may need to check you bio , they mean it . good price and performance . fast delivery . I recommend this card as a solution for older computer . +455 GraphicsCard NEU 3 I love the build of the card , none of the plastic garbage feature on most card . not 100 % stable out of the box , I have to make my own fan curve which make it pass benchmark . I just retun it as its still unstable out of the box : -lrb- +423 GraphicsCard NEG 2 have a hard time get this to work use the DVI connection . it would not support 1920x1080 . when online and find that the DVI connection have a much lower max resolution than analog VGA connection . so no digital hd for I ! major bummer . +442 GraphicsCard POS 5 evga be generally a name you can trust when it come to NVidia card . this card be about as good as you can get when it come to agp slotted video card without spend a lot . it be a good choice for upgrade a age computer to help it keep up with today 's standard . +356 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy this card to replace a pv-t44a-yapv-t44a-yang -lrb- basically the same card -rrb- that I think be get twitchy on my p225 CRT monitor -lrb- be shut down computer on start up , reduce color on monitor , and monitor control not work -rrb- I replace the Power supply -lrb- you usual first suspect -rrb- and the problem continue . I swap out monitor and the flat work , but my beloved CRT still have problem , so I remove the YANG card and put this one in and problem go away ; I be still not happy , as I be very anal . remove the new card and put the old one back in -lrb- it be less than two year old -rrb- and the problem be go . reset the graphic card before you do ANYTHING ELSE . Nuff say +194 GraphicsCard NEU 3 get the card and it be DOA . try it in multiple rig . just a tip , DO NOT go through evga return . they want I to jump through all kind of hoop , want to charge I for ship etc. . Amazon just take care of I no question ask . EDIT : get a work card and it perform great . Pretty loud when you be play intense game , but it can play Skyrim on Ultra at 90 + FPS . good card . +825 GraphicsCard POS 5 note : \* need 250 watt minimum power supply -lrb- mine be 300 watt , which be recommend on the box and work comfortably -rrb- \* if you do not have a case screw for the expansion slot , get one -lrb- if you be still use VGA , the case screw be a must-have unless you want to risk damage the card while press a VGA end into the slot -rrb- \* if you be still use ddr1 RAM and\/or do not have a newer processor , you performance will be bottleneck -lrb- limited -rrb- by that , not this card ; this graphic card be mid-lower range , but should still do decent with more modern game , if you have the processor\/ram format to handle they \* if the fan do not spin on you card , do not try to use it , and have it return and\/or fit with a replacement card fan asap ; the card will overheat in less than 40 minute regardless of whether or not you be play a game unless it have a work fan \* make sure you have enough fan to dissipate the heat from both you processor and this card \* have at least 2 gb RAM -lrb- ideally 4 gb or more -rrb- if you intend to use this for gaming -- no hassle from the card installation ; I open up my case , pull out the expansion cover , stick this into the PCI Express slot , plug in the monitor , and away I go . I do not play modern game -lrb- to get my money 's worth from my PS3 -rrb- , but the Sims 3 , command and conquer 3 Tiberium war , leave 4 dead 1 , and Red Alert 3 -lrb- which be relatively recent and have lot of silly particle effect -rrb- all play good to flawless with this card , on relatively high setting . most game should do fine -lrb- almost all game make before Windows 7 should run pretty fast -rrb- . needless to say , if you be run a game that still list x-series atus card , this card will blaze through it . native resolution be true hd , which be nice . it also support dual-monitor display , and if you tv be HDMI , it should work just as well . l4d be a bit choppy -lrb- about 21 fp -rrb- , but that have more to do with my ddr1 RAM and AMD Athelon 2.4 GHz x2 processor -lrb- which be minimum spec for l4d -rrb- than anything . I be sure that this card can handle l4d2 or portal 2 just fine , if you have a decent processor . all in all , a great card -lrb- on black Friday , it be only $ 39 , which be a great price for what it be worth , and save I $ 400 + for a newer computer 's update integrate graphic -rrb- . +169 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy this card to update my desktop computer . I do a lot of photoshop project on it and this card do the job wonderfully . my program open and run faster than ever . and now I can even use my computer as a home entertainment center . this be a great card for the price . +451 GraphicsCard POS 5 awesome card , play everything throw at it , great condition arrive on time , very satisfied , idle at 38c at intense gaming it get up to around 65c , old one 8800gt would get up to 85c +97 GraphicsCard POS 5 I normally go to a retail store and buy a expensive card . however with economy the way it be I decide to give a lower price card a shot . I be very happy I do this card rip thru wow -lrb- world of Warcraft -rrb- like it be a a old Mario brother game graphic . I cross my finger and boost the graphic setting all the way to max and the card perform like a champ no glitch no blinking just smooth graphic ... would I buy this card again ?? well at the beginning of the month I be upgrade my wife video to this card . do not expect a 500.00 card for 60 buck but expect one hell of a card for the value . +790 GraphicsCard POS 5 have be use this card since Jan 2012 . I run it with a 2nd gen i5 and 12gb ram on a 1080p monitor . I get 120 + fp on wow in stormwind with all setting at max . run Battlefield 3 perfect to my eye -lrb- not sure of the fp -rrb- . I play through campaign mode on most current game and have not meet one that have give it a problem . I have read good review of decent overclock for this card so I think I might grab a second one to SLI and wait util the gtx7xx series card come out . +793 GraphicsCard POS 5 I would recommend this to anyone especially those with a low power supply pc .

I be tell to upgrade my power supply but i plan on buy a new pc so it wouldnt make sense , i just want to use my dell for a while cause its only 4 yr old . I try nvidium card with dell which be say compatible and have to return they all even though nvidium be the card of my choice but this fanless AMD be truly amazing . no fan noise except the one in the pc play game although it be not mean for game but im not a heavy gamer just exception so i try supreme commander and universe at war atlest 20hr gameplay a day just to see what would happen all on high setting run like a charm with no problem . the only weird thing be when i try to update the catalyst 11.6 to 11.7 it do but still show I 11.6 but all in all very great card well recommend easy installation low power consumption Dell 530 inspiron compatible and low price and quick delivery by Amazon before expect thanks much Amazon . +114 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card work well on older pc that only have pcus slot on the motherboard . it have be work well without problem on my Windows xp Media Center Edition pc . it can play older game , such as Roller Coaster tycoon 1 and 2 . unfortunately game that be graphic hog will not work with this graphic card . otherwise the card work very well +907 GraphicsCard POS 5 one of the best card out there i be now able to run Elder Scrolls : Skyrim and Battlefield 3 on ultra high setting . +614 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have always want to use 3 monitor in my workstation @work . besides the fact that I do not have a 3rd monitor , my Dell laptop have a vanilla graphic controller that be not capable of deal with more than 2 monitor at the same time . this past week , I get lucky and be able to get a spare monitor from a friend and now only my laptop 's controller be prevent my dream to come true . so , less than 2 minute googling and I find this beauty call uga -lrb- usb graphic adapter -rrb- . so I end up buy a simple one with a standard VGA connector since I need it to connect to my KVM , which do not support DVI . get it today and here be my impression so far : 1 -rrb- Windows 7 recognize something be plug in the usb port but could not find any matching driver ; 2 -rrb- I then download the proper up-to-date driver from -lrb- ... -rrb- and install it 3 -rrb- unfortunately , it do require a reboot 4 -rrb- after the reboot , voilum ! Windows automatigically extend its display to my 3rd monitor ! awesome ! for my daily work , I can not notice absolutely any issue or difference between my laptop 's controller and this uga at all . resolution be great and go up to the monitor 's max . even the little utility software that be install and stay on the task bar be surprisingly good . so , I be very positively impressed with this nice little gadget and I be very happy to finally have my 3-monitor workstation : -rrb- +382 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy this video card geforce 6200 on 11\/10\/2011 for my 5 year old pc Dell Dimension 310 be a snap to put on and easy to plug and play the only thing be I be run window 7 and the disk only support driver for vista and xp but I find the driver on evga website download it and ready to enjoy better quality video and game I recomend for old computer specially the price and Amazon deliver for free fast !!!! good job !!!!! +579 GraphicsCard POS 5 very fast for the price , overclock like a champ ! 1k engine clock @ stock V. Know that the stock voltage on this video card be lower than other 6700 1.2 versus 1.25 +392 GraphicsCard POS 5 well I luck in to get this video card . seem impossible for the msrp . I be able to get it on amazon for $ 509 . its not the brand I want but it all use the same board . Super shipping take 7 day to arrive . look like they be basically fill order while I wait . I would recommend pay $ 10 extra for shipping . the packaging appear to be open as well . the factory seal sticker have be remove . the card be still seal in the static resistant film though so i guess no one really unpackaged it . this thing be awesome though . 2nd best video card next to the $ 1200 gtx 690 . buy it if you get achance ! +152 GraphicsCard POS 5 the card work great ! I be please with everything . I be now able to stream Netflix movie from the computer to the hdtv . the picture look good and the Nvidia software that come with the card finetune thing nicely . I do need a few AHA moment to have everything the way I want , like set the monitor 's resolution small enough to get the entire picture within the tv 's screen . overall , great card for my 6 year old machine ! plus Amazon have it here within one week with free shipping . +81 GraphicsCard POS 4 pro : fast , evga , max every game i have . con : price go down $ 10 one week after i buy mine , no back plate , weak overclocker , 40c idle temp during the summer . +874 GraphicsCard POS 5 I purchese 2 of these board , set they up on a asrock 990pro without the need for jumper and my Windows 7 experience for display jump from 4.9 to 6.8 . Xfire rock regardless of you application and these board provide econimical access to most of the feature with a reasonable price tag . so how good do it need to be ? you can spend $ 2k + for triple board , but I do not think you will see a significant improvement . +545 GraphicsCard POS 5 will run anything and everything if pair with the right rig . in a word , awesome ! run it with a Amd 8150 , on a Asus Formula V board , with 16 gb of mushkin pc-2133 red ridgeback ram , Patriot Pyro se ssd for o\/s and game . have play W.O.W. and Diablo 3 so far both with all setting max out and it do not even sweat ... . good card . +72 GraphicsCard NEG 1 cause random computer lock up , if there be any audio while this occur , it will loop continuously until you do a hard shutdown . even with this problem , on some occasion I can still play game without lock up . seasonic 560w i5-3450 @ 3.1 Asus P8H77-M pro sapphire radeon hd 7850 Kingston 2x4gb ddr3-1333 Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB Windows 7 64-bit Google these term : Radeon 7970 computer hard lock with sound loop 7xxx Series AMD card : freeze and lock up +672 GraphicsCard NEU 3 I buy this card on a tight budget . my old radieon x1650 series card be close to give up the good ghost of existence , and I want something to be prepare for that day . the x series atus 's be pretty good , but because I be a hardcore gamer I hope this will at least let I get up to medium setting on my game . I run a ASUS p5b board , with a intel dual core 2.13 ghz processor on 6 gig of ram and I want to say 450wat power supply , but I be unable to open the case right now to see . I could be on a 350 , but that be beside the point . this be a pretty decent look PCI card for a reasonable price I will update this review as soon as I get the card in . here be to hope . and I know this be a bit shorter than my regular review , I hope to be of insight once this come in . good Luck Gamers and tweaker . +620 GraphicsCard NEG 1 it would have be nice to know . it say nothing about not work , but it do nothing on Mac OS Lion , and I have not have a chance to test out any other system as yet . Wish I have know that before ! +836 GraphicsCard POS 5 equipment do what it say it will . simple to install and work great ! recommend it for those wish to increase they viewing by utilization of a idle monitor . I find that I can search the web and have my word processor available on the other screen for copy what I have find without click back and forth to separate window . price be reasonable and ordering\/shipping be complete in a minimum of time . +307 GraphicsCard POS 4 I buy this card to replace the onboard graphic in my 2 yr . old dell desktop . after see that some gaming rig come with this same card I think i would give it a try . work well with the 300 watt power supply . work fine with window 8 release preview have all the connector , hdmus , dvi can do vga with a adapter . if you be on a budget go ahead buy this card . +507 GraphicsCard POS 5 the card itself be outstanding . the performance really be second to none . 2560x1600 and no issue here on any of the current game like bf3 . would love to get 2 of these in slus . evga support also rock as well . the customer service be top notch , speak to two rep already on some installation issue and they be really helpful and nice to talk to . you really can not go wrong with evga and I probably would not bother with other brand myself . not say there be not other good brand but I prefer evga . I think the price be pretty fair because of the performance but you can always hope it will go down in price . this be the top perform graphic card out there right now , so consider that , it command a premium price . +31 GraphicsCard POS 4 this card be buy as a upgrade from a gtx-260 896mb . I be seek a faster card , more texture memory , and DirectX 11 capability . pro : not too huge like many nvidium card out there . the large fan keep the card cool and only use one 6-pin power connector to power it . the 3 type of output be a plus to fit everyone 's basic setup . even though it be not mention in description , there be a power plug adapter to convert 2 standard 3-pin ide power connector into a 6-pin . highest end card for under $ 150 at the moment of this review . con : benchmark be only a very slight -lrb- 2-10 fp -rrb- improvement over my 260 . phsyx speed be also slightly improve . even though the memory speed be faster and greater than what I have , there be a slightly noticeable lag when load many texture when you first enter a scene which I never experience before . if you follow direction in the manual for installation then you might miss the fact of plug in the 6-pin plug due to the fact of it not mention it . all in all , a great card . not as fancy look as many other manufacturer but the large fan do keep the card cool in heavy load . I have repeatedly push its limit and no , it be not one of the fastest card out there , but it hold it be own in DirectX 10 and 11 but if you be only need a card for older DirectX 9 application and game , I say go for cheaper . +36 GraphicsCard POS 5 Ok so some version of this card be slightly different , so I gather . my card -lrb- which I order from Amazon on 10\/1 roughly -rrb- be the Cayman chipset and have the 6970 bio preload on the the card by sapphire . all you have t0o do be save you bio -lrb- I get Trixx software from sapphire for free and it will ask you if you want to save you bio -rrb- and flick the switch to position 2 and pow 1536 unify shader . no further step necesarry . so to be clear this\/my version do unlock and although im not go to overclock until i get a new PSU it will overclock to better than a stock 6970 with no effort and less money . this be less than 10 % performance increase without overclock , just switch the bio , but hey its free ! the card stay very cool , I have a dell XPS 8300 stock case fan and psu -lrb- 460 watt although dell underate they power supplies -rrb- and this thing never get above 60 \* c. it fit into the case no problem , you just have to manuever it delicately . the fan get a little loud over 70 % but its really only becasue my pc be so quiet , and you really have to put it though its pace to get up to 70 % anyway -lrb- which i havent -rrb- . by the way the bio switch be miniscule , I mean tiny and its located to the right of the crossfire port . move the switch away from the crossfire port to put it into unlock position . its about 10.5-11 inch long and be really well make . Hope this help , also run Starcraft 2 at about 120 fp on ultra setting at 1440x900 , bad company 2 high setting 90 fp , crysis 1\/2 50-60 fp -lrb- all use frap and 1440x900 re . -rrb- bf3 beta look great and run with zero stutter although the beta be completly unreliable for fp benchmark . also get a free copy of Deus ex and Dirt 3 which you have to jump through hoop for but if you have a iphone or a webcam just take a picture of the box and they will email you the Steam code . Hope to see you on the battlefield !

I use VGA previously , so I have to get a VGA to DVI connector . that be about another $ 10 on Amazon . still , I suggest this video card if you want to speed up you video : -rrb- Update : after use this card for a while and go into more intensive program , I do see this card have issue . it 'll stutter a bit with Sony Vegas with a bunch of layer and some other pretty hardcore program . as for gaming , this card run very well with gaming . you can play game like battlefield 3 without much of a problem . you definitely will not be able to jack the setting up all the way , but it 'll run they without really terrible lag . if you have a pretty stock computer and you be look for a quick boost in Graphics , buy this card . the requirement be not very high and it be certainly a upgrade from integrate graphic . +228 GraphicsCard POS 5 a excellent video card with a impressive processing speed , I invite you to test the overclocking experience . it be important to know the capacity of you power supply before buy this card because it need a source of at least 550 watt to meet the current requirement of this card . it also should be check power supply connector , because they vary depend on the model GTX card . +861 GraphicsCard POS 5 I order this card from Amazon , specifically because it be the right card at the right price . check out pcper.com and search hd 7850 review to see how this card stack up against the competition , and you will get a more complete picture -lrb- no pun intend -rrb- . but to summarize : at $ 250 , this card destroy the Nvidia GTX 560tus -lrb- $ 230 -rrb- and run just short of the gtx 570 -lrb- $ 300-330 -rrb- unless you overclock . the figure I be use be valid at time of purchase . you can assume the lowest possible price either at Amazon or at a competitor . further info . pro : 1 . power consumption . this card only draw about 130w on one 6-pin pcie power cord , which be ridiculously low for its capability . a pcie slot already provide a bit more than 70W , so the draw on the power supply be minimal . this mean you can upgrade without spend a lot on a power supply -lrb- minimum 500w -rrb- . the 570 need either 2 pcie 6-pin or a 6 and a 6 +2 with 550w - 600w minimum power supply , depend on sub-manufacturer . 2 . temperature . the card only run about 60 c at load , which be also very low , and this mean you do not have to worry as much about case performance to maintain temperature within operate limit . this do not mean you can leave you case a mess , but it do mean that you do not have to spend serious cash to get good airflow . good cooling = longer life . 3 . capability . the hd 7850 can maintain a good to great fp -lrb- frame per second -rrb- on the highest setting on you favorite directx 11 game . this be the programming platform for 3d gaming , and at the time of review , it be the most current form of 3d platforming . as a estimation , this card should be able to run a good fp well into the future . best guess be 2 year . after that , I would not be surprise if you be not already consider a new pc or a upgrade anyway . 4 . size . this go unappreciated by a ton of upgrader and gamer , but the size of this card make it a viable upgrade , even for micro-atx mobo and case , mean you still must measure , but it be more likely than not that this card will fit into into you case . 5 . overclocking . dl the Sapphire TRIXX app for you desktop , and you can stabilize a 20 % increase in performance . exceptional and freak awesome , mean without purchase the oc version of the card , you can crank this puppy up to way beyond stock clock for f-r-e-e . best price ever . con : 1 . performance . I be a bit disappointed this card do not lay the gtx 570 to waste , but when you consider the premium you pay for the gtx 570 , I think this card be justified . I would expect the gtx 570 & 580 to go on a significant discount for a long time with high rebate from the manufacturer because of this new series of Radeon card and the gtx 600 series , which be be release as this be type , but as mention above , power consumption and ventilation with the NVIDIA 570 be subpar in comparison . 2 . warranty . I could not find the xfx version of this card at the time of purchase , which be a bummer because XFX have the best warranty -lrb- lifetime -rrb- and customer service of any radeon sub-manufacturer . Sapphire be not a pushover with 2 year , and they have be make Radeon for a long time with great success and reliability . 3 . the answer : I be wonder whether Radeon should have design accord to a higher spec and standard ; it be as though this card be design to compete with older gtx 500 series card . I would expect NVIDIA to answer the Radeon 7800 series gpus with something exceptional as they continue to release the gtx 600 series . then again , you can always get a better deal on dated merchandise if you wait to buy ... Conclusion : you will not make a bad decision between this card and the gtx 570 -lrb- evga have a good reputation , warranty , and customer service -rrb- , but at the time of release and my purchase , the Radeon 7850 be a great bang-4 - $ card , and it deserve all the praise it receive for be a serious card at a good price with greater accommodation for more case , mobo , and power supplies than the gtx 570 or 560ti . Update 4\/24\/12 : everything still work at 100 % . battlefield 2 Bad Company be smooth as dive chocolate on highest setting . battlefield 3 seem even better . have already purchase Guild war 2 , for which I be sure this card will be overkill . BTW : run AMD 955 black , 8 gb 1300 RAM , Samsung 7200 1TB HD , 600W OCZ PSU . Update 5\/13\/12 : no problem whatsoever . play in the gw2 beta over 4\/27 -4 \/ 29 , and with the exception of a massive amount of player who take part in the good-bye extravaganza , no lag at highest setting , which be excellent for beta . Witcher run very well , but Witcher 2 seem to be the new benchmark for video card . I 'll have to nab that at some point in the future . I have have 2 reader ask I about x-fire previously , which I do not really advocate because of the relative expense . you could get a top o crop card for $ 500 , and one gtx 680 or hd 7970 will lay this card to waste . I can not give you the technical expertise -lrb- technical writer , not a engineer -rrb- to show it , but I have it on good authority -lrb- pcper.com , pcbuilder.com -rrb- that one premium card be worth more than two mid-range . that be say , if you insist on x-fire , you can only bridge 2 HD 7850s together with the current hardware . I do not see this as a `` con . '' if you be serious about gaming and would like to bridge mid-range card together , go for it . but I think that be a feature best reserve for premium stock , where there be no improvement beyond add additional card . if you want better gaming , save you dime and buy the better card . Make sure to keep you eye out for GTX 6XX card . at this point , the gtx 680 -lrb- good luck find one -rrb- and 670 -lrb- $ 400 , also good luck find one -rrb- have be release , and I would expect that the 660 will be the horse run at the neck of the hd 7850 . we 'll see . +159 GraphicsCard POS 4 buy it for htpc in miniitx format -lrb- in Intel 945 Atom MB -rrb- . quite well for it be money , but if you be not go to play heavy game , 512mb of video memory be too much , 256mb be well enough . also , I have be very limit in space between the card itself and power supply unit . then I have replace radiator with small fan ; whereas , the socket for fan power be find . at the end , i have what I want , thus satisfied . +512 GraphicsCard POS 5 okay Fisrt Thing be this be a wonderfull Htpc Card for the money it can out put upto 2560x1600 on dvi & 1080P through the HDMI out and 2048x1536 through VGA so as i get this as a gift for my bro i try it out on crysis 2 GTA IV & Dirt 3 with crysis 2 id run low @ 720p and gta same all low @ 720 but Dirt 3 can go low not ultra low @ 1080p so wanna play a few Games Watch 1080p with no pause Becuz you internal graphic have to process it Anyways 5 star Recommend HTPC buyer +863 GraphicsCard POS 4 issue # 1 , as soon as I install the driver from the CD that come with it , I notice my onboard sound be go . it turn out that because this have HDMI , it be get its own soundcard and without ask , it make itself the default device . my monitor be a older DVI model and I like my amped speaker so I change it back , but it would be nice to be able to let both work since I span my desktop to a big hdtv that I use for watch movie while I work or just when I need the big screen . issue # 2 the scaling be all wrong on my hdtv -lrb- device 2 -rrb- . there be black bar around my picture that be almost 5 inch . Tech support tell I to go to a menu on ccc -lrb- they do not explain what CCC be so it take I a while to figure out it be the sloppy software that come with the card -rrb- but it be not there ! I find another option down there that look like it might work for hdtv , but all it do be make my screen blink once and then back to the way it be . it turn out the scaling and overscaling thing be what do the trick . -lrb- sorry to get technical lol -rrb- . overall it be a very fast , quiet , and lower power card . I be happy . just wish the software be better . +331 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card run everything max out no problem . I have no problem put a additional overclock on the card beyond what the factory overclock be use EVGA 's precision x software . I be able to get +71 mhz of additional GPU clock offset and a additional +730 mhz additional memory clock offset . no stability issue , as fast if not faster than a reference 680 . very impressive . installation be simple . my previous card be a AMD hd4890 , and transition be smooth and easy . I simply remove the old driver , shutdown , replace the card , boot up , and install the new Nvidia driver . everything work as it should . be sure to get the latest driver from Nvidia 's website as the one on the disk that come with the card be not the latest . +597 GraphicsCard POS 5 purchase this item on release day on Amazon when it be on backorder . surprisingly enough , my order go through and ship on the same day ! get it the next day , since I pay for overnight shipping . have to pay sale tax though , since I have it ship to New York . sigh . anyway , more about the card . this thing be huge ! significantly larger than my old gtx 560 ti -lrb- which die on I and have rma'e -rrb- . performance-wise , the card push most game out today at Ultra . it easily get 80-100 fp in battlefield 3 . most of the time I have it set with v-sync turn on , though , so it use less power and run cooler . the GPU overclock like a beast , too . get it run at around 1227 MHz stable on my first try . I reckon I can push it much further than that , but it seem unnecessary at this time . temperature-wise , the stock cooler on this card surprisingly perform really well . it run much cooler than my gtx 560 Ti , which use to run at 85c . the stock cooler be really silent on idle up until the 75 % mark . by the time you reach the 85 % -lrb- max -rrb- fan speed , the card 's fan get fairly loud . one thing to note , though : when overclocking , this card will start to slightly downclock the GPU core once the temperature hit 70C , which be fairly peculiar since 70 degree be practically cool enough for a GPU . this be one more reason why I will not tinker with the Power target just yet until my gtx 680 Backplate & High-flow bracket arrive -lrb- as increase voltage would increase temp -rrb- . but on stock GPU clock , I have get it barely hit 65c with a slightly more aggressive fan curve -lrb- which be variable in EVGA precision x -rrb- . OC temperature reach around 69-70c for my card , and that be with a case with decent airflow -lrb- Cooler Master Cosmos II -rrb- in a very hot summer climate here in the Philippines -lrb- ambient temp around 36c \/ 102f -rrb- . I have no qualm about order this item halfway around the world , since EVGA 's new 3-year global warranty policy definitely make it real easy for I to conduct warranty claim should any problem arise in the future . give you extra piece of mind if you want to sell it in a few year ' time . so in summary , for $ 499 , this be one heck of a card . I be really happy I wait out until this card come out . be suppose to purchase a gtx 580 . this card be definitely worth the wait - even if it be on backorder . : -rrb- UPDATE : get my EVGA gtx 680 high flow bracket and backplate . just try to push it a bit more today . Got to 1234MHz , and then 1254mhz - still without change the power target . temp be about 67-68c now . awesome . +667 GraphicsCard POS 5 Easy to follow installation guide and cd . only take a few minute to install and be up and run . the USPS do mis-route the delivery create a delay that they would not take responsibility for . very disapointed in they customer service . +65 GraphicsCard NEU 3 this card work great out of the box . but slowly start give I more and more problem . start black screening while play battlefield but that eventually turn into black screening during all game . I also have a coil whine but it do not bother I that much because I play game with headphone on but can see how it would irritate some . luckily amazon be awesome and be let I return the card . Thought about go with another 7970 but will probably switch the the GTX 670 for a modest price savings without leave to much performance behind . oh well . I be really excite for this card but just do not work out . I be sure if you get a work card it will be a monster . but like other people before I just too many issue . +480 GraphicsCard POS 5 when it come down to buy a new top-of-the-line graphic card , you pretty much have two option : atus 4870x2 or Nvidia GTX 295 . the Nvidia GTX 295 be the surefire winner between these two , as benchmark after benchmark it outperform the ATI . also worth mention , the ATI have severe driver issue , and run extremely hot . the gtx 295 provide amazing graphic -lrb- better than two gtx 280 's or even 2 gtx 285 's , -rrb- run cool -lrb- about 55 c under full load with stock cooling no overclocking , -rrb- evga be one of the best manufacturer -lrb- they offer mod-friendly warranty and a 30-day upgrade grace period , -rrb- and with the latest driver run no problem . if you be go to spend hundred of dollar for top-notch computer part , you be go to want they to work without wait for month for decent driver and the gtx 295 deliver . just be aware , if you be use two of these in Quad-SLI , be aware that you will not be able to run dual monitor with xp . +445 GraphicsCard POS 4 I love this card ! run almost all my game on ultra setting , include battlefield 3 ! the one bad thing be when I originally get the card it be very loud -lrb- defect -rrb- . I know amd card can be a bit loud , especially run high end game , but this noise be ridiculous . I send it back to amazon.com , and they send I a new one free of charge in two day ! the new one work great ! the card run really cool too , compare to my friend nvidia card , which be gtx 560tus . the only game i could not run on ultra setting be the Witcher 2 . Hope this review help ! +460 GraphicsCard POS 5 throw every current gen big game like bf3 with max detail in decent 1920x1200 resolution without any problem . also it only need 2x6pin power which be a plus . highly recommend if you be look for single cpu graphic card plus the evga internal overclock app be pretty easy to use . +561 GraphicsCard NEG 1 even with relatively little GPU load , and this be on standard clock speed , the card would just shut off and I would be force to hard power off my computer . I try troubleshoot it , search forum for solution , but I find virtually nothing except a general consensus that I be send a dud card . I return it and buy a different card . I have hear good thing about Sapphire , and they be suppose to have one of the better 7850 card design , but once you send I a bad product , I do not really jump at the chance for you to send I another possibly bad one . +681 GraphicsCard POS 5 wowwwwww !!!!!!!!!!! this card be for excellency the best I own not just for the advance GPU but it be great performance and quality show in the game be amazing and not to mention that be software to control temperature and performance be quite easy to undertand and use besides that this tool offer the experience to control the card , besides be very silent unless you force it to the maximun . again what incredible card !!!!!!!!!!! +320 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I buy this , so that I could have 2 DVI 20 '' monitor . the performance tank the moment I put it in . Windows 7 Aero drop the score to 2.9 for my video output . I be return this . I be try to find a better card now ! +952 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have be run this card for about a month now and could not be happier . if you be look for a upgrade , and want something that get a lot of bang for you buck , this be the card to get . just when you think this thing be do overclocking , it 'll overclock even more . I be currently only run 875mhz core\/1750mhz shader and 2185 on the memory . I bump the core voltage up to 1.05 . nowhere near what other people have clock these thing . I have to download a newer beta version of MSI Afterburner to be able to adjust the voltage . please note , if you decide to run EVGA 's OC software , you will not be able to adjust voltage -lrb- yet -rrb- . maybe they 'll have a newer version soon though . so far , I have play Crysis 2 , Metro 2033 , swtor , Resident Evil 5 . all on ultra setting with no hiccup . temperature be amazing . idle at 35c , and under max load , 70-72c . a couple of thing to consider when buy this card : Make sure you get the space to fit this thing . it be massive . Make sure you have a nice power supply . it be hungry for juice . it do take both 6pin and 8pin pcie connection . fan get a tad loud around the 70 % range . I have yet to have it run any higher then that . at 70 % speed , it still have never get above 72c . if you keep you pc case right on top of you desk like I have see some people do , fan noise might be a slight issue for you . other then that , I have zero buyer remorse . +918 GraphicsCard NEU 3 note that i review this use 2-way slus . be aware that this product have a heat sink\/fan that do not force the air out of the system . it appear there be gap all around the heat sink\/fan , and while it do push out a little heat through the back of the system , i notice most of the heat be push back into my system . this increase the overall temperature of my computer system ; cpu , hdd etc. . SLI in idle be about 50c and 30c and the noise level be hardly noticable . Games that push the video card to max utilization would push 100c for both card over a 30 minute session . the heat also lead to a noise issue since the onboard fan be run at maximum speed ; very noisy and noticable . at one point i take off the side of my case and focus a 32 '' Patton fan , at full speed , directly at the video card ; it drop the overall temperature by about 5c . I use MSI Afterburner and EVGA precision x to get the reading . pro ---------- - very fast ! I notice a big jump in performance gain from my 460gtx . con ---------- - do not force air out of the system ; circulate hot air back into the system . - run Hot . 100c for demand game -lrb- Deus ex : human revolution -rrb- and about 90c for other game -lrb- portal 2 -rrb- - Noisy . +789 GraphicsCard POS 5 every game I have play run smooth as butter ! never see Crysis run so smooth with the setting crank ! be expensive , but hopefully it will keep I run for a few more year ! +373 GraphicsCard POS 5 awesome card . I have have no issue with it period ! it be a little overpriced on Amazon . but they be the only one 's with it in stock so I shell out the extra -lrb- ... -rrb- buck . Performance be excellent . I over clock it from time to time with the include software and its still stable and much faster ! if you get the money BUY THIS CARD !!! otherwise wait until you have the money then buy this card !!! LOL it be definitely worth it ! you will not be disappointed ! . that be all . +548 GraphicsCard POS 5 have this card be like have too many girlfriend . lot of fun but very expensive . like all the other review I read this card run every game I have at 1920 x 1080 at max setting without a stutter . it be quieter at load than the 6970 it replace and get many more fp at higher aa setting . I love the way it throttle the frequency accord to demand to save energy . the fan on mine have never go above 60 % to keep the GPU at 80 c degree or below . my older game stay in the 40 's . I run most of my game with vsync and not see the FPS drop below 60 on any at max setting . this card be a winner ! +959 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card be everything you could ask for and more . for its price , its unbeatable . after 10 % oc , I play everything at 1920 x 1080 perfectly -lrb- I be talk 60 + FPS in Skyrim , Battlefield 3 , World of Warcraft , etc -rrb- . Bottom Line : would be a 5\/5 for $ 50 more than it be . at this price , 6\/5 . +930 GraphicsCard NEU 3 it work like it say . the only problem be I have to use hdus output because the standard output make a purple tint on my screen . other people have the same problem and suggest change cable . I do and it do not work , but for some reason it work with the other port the card have . +198 GraphicsCard POS 5 Easy install and great price make this a good buy . be Windows , Linux and Unbunto compatible . I run a dual boot with unbunto and winxpro3 and it install flawless . Unbunto surprise I by install it with driver and no cd be even need . I wish more review list what people use so I include that in my review . my system be a HP 2.6 quadcore 2gb ram and the 1gb videocard . Plays movie flawless and editing as other have mention be great . I upgrade from a Nvidia 9500 -lrb- not gt -rrb- and its night and day for the use . gaming , I can not review as I use Xbox and no need for pc gaming . the card be a plain-jane , no frill look like a video card nothing fancy with minus fan . funny the box it come in have more flare , but that advertising for you . for $ 50.00 you can not go wrong for those want a gaming card , I suggest look at higher end card . at $ 50.00 I be wonder what other expect in the way of gaming ? we family do have a AlienWare pc with a 8 gb video card , now that for gaming . and cost nearly $ 400.00 anyway you get what you pay for and its a 3000.00 pc for a basic all around performer this card seem good . I would buy again , temperature seem fine however would be nice if the fan be power through and cable and not the slot . Update : I recently in June 2012 upgrade to Win7 Ultimate , the card seem to work really well on this os too . no problem of any kid , the card have not fail or error-ed . one thing I be not aware at purchase be in win7 the 3d option come on allow you to view 3d movie with 3d setting if you have glass . another nice perk about this card I do not know be it work on just about any m base OS . good card great price . +136 GraphicsCard POS 5 this be a superb product from Galaxy . although it be my first experience buy a galaxy product but I be very satisfied with my purchase . the quality be top notch and the product be the best out there . if you be build you dream machine , just get this gtx680 . +240 GraphicsCard POS 4 win vista rate the the card a 4.4 on my hp . window aero rate it 4.4 on max quality setting same on the factory default . never try it on performance setting . have say that I really have nothing bad to say about the card , my game look great and I can even run game that say I need a bit more process power . for the price it be the best buy for a computer part I ever make . +3 GraphicsCard POS 5 while this card be amazing and can take everything I throw at it , I be a little disappointed to find out that I be unable to unlock this card . I be not able to just flip a switch and I also be not able to get the rbe method to work either . I suppose I wait too long to pull the trigger on this wonderful video card . I have hear report that they be laser off the extra shader to force people to buy the 6970 . do not let that deter you from buy a hd6950 though ! you can still overclock to 6970 clock speed while maintain stability if you do not mind the extra noise and heat inefficiency . I upgrade to this card from a hd4850 and it instantly triple my 3DMark Vantage score ~ 22000 . this card do fit in a NZXT gamma ! i5-2500k @ 4.2 GHz cm hyper 212 + hd6950 @ 880\/1375 NZXT Gamma OCZ ModXStream 600W PSU 8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM ASUS P8Z68-V LE +595 GraphicsCard POS 5 have it for about 1 month now . no problem . Works fine . if you read the installation instruction before do anything , it should be a fairly straightforward install . +977 GraphicsCard POS 5 yeah its a great card . we all know that . BUT `` hot dealsforless '' -lrb- Amazon Seller ID -rrb- be as full of sh \* as it name ... you have to be a sc \* mbag to buy up all of newegg 's product and sell it for over $ 300.00 more ... unbelievable . and , they dont have 1 leave . they have none . they just want to be sure to whack up you credit card and then tell you they 'll have it asap -lrb- several month ago ... -rrb- hotdealsmya \*\* . better off wait folk .

Hope you find this `` helpful . '' ~ honestj \* if I could strangle a site to death , this would be my vic ... +383 GraphicsCard POS 4 overall a relatively silent and -lrb- currently -rrb- very powerful card . I have to RMA one of they unfortunately so I can not give 5 star , but when work correctly they be awesome . +627 GraphicsCard POS 5 a great choice for a mid level desktop . fast enough for for all but the most demand gamer . set up easily . +449 GraphicsCard POS 5 this thing be a beast , everything I have throw at it have not slow it down one bit , and this have the dual bio switch one flip and it unlock the extra shader to make this a 6970 ! the switch be located next to the crossfire connector very small I have to use a small pick to switch it , I use gpu-z to check for the shader unlock . plus this thing overclock like a beast too get to 900\/1400 gpu\/memory pass furmark with no artifacting , gonna try for higher but really do not think I need to it blow throw everything , and temp be amazing too , idle at 28c-30c and max be 60c-63c but it rarely see Max only when benchmarking . so glad I buy this one instead of another brand just the fact that I can unlock it to a 6970 spec be well worth the money and the ability to over clock be amazing , highly recommend this card . p.s. make sure to uninstall all you previous graphic driver and download the latest from amd 's website this be the cause of most of you bsod and other strange thing happen when you install a new graphic card . +244 GraphicsCard POS 5 this sapphire hd6870 card be a great replacement for the previous Radeon hd4850 1gb card that come with this machine -lrb- HP Pavilion elite d5200t w\/8gb RAM -rrb- originally . the primary reason for buy this card be to utilize GPU processing with non-gaming app via DirectCompute and great price\/performance . secondarily , even though I be more of a casual gamer these day I also want to have dx11-capable hardware for any new game I may fancy at some point that use it . the card be trivial to install ; simply download\/install the latest driver from AMD and you be set . overall , this card be a marked improvement over the hd4850 I have ; I would especially recommend it to anyone look to upgrade a hd4800 or lesser series radeon card . +972 GraphicsCard POS 5 great card , run diablo3\/guild war 2 at max setting -lrb- gw2 auto detect max everything -rrb- , 7.9 WEI . very quiet and cool . with catalyst driver 12.6 the card may not wake up from it be low power state . 12.7 driver correct this issue . overclocked mine with catalyst control center overdrive feature to 920\/1250 -lrb- same as factory oc -rrb- and temp be still in the 50 's and fan max fan speed be only ~ 25 % . measure my pc 's power draw with kill-a-watt after video card have go into power saving mode and confirm the power saving of this card be awesome . total pc use 57 watt after card shut itself down -lrb- old card would add about almost 100 watt -rrb- . +785 GraphicsCard POS 4 this 7950 be a powerhouse ! it play any game i throw at it like a champ -lrb- crysis 2 dx11 and high rez pack , bf3 , skyrim high rez pack , metro 2033 -rrb- . the 3gb of video memory be especially nice , because some game will actually make use of the extra space -lrb- crysis 2 for example be use close to 1.7 gb of the video memory . my only complaint be the cooler on this thing . im a cooling enthusiast and this just run too hot and too loud for my liking . there be only a copper core aluminum fin cool block on the gpu , no extra cooling be make for the ram or vrm 's , so if you plan to overclock , i would look elsewhere . I end up return this for the sapphire 7950 oc edition which come with a much beefire heatsink and fan . +962 GraphicsCard POS 4 I be run two Dell monitor from the DVI and VGA output of a ATI card . there be a serious difference in quality . find this with two DVI -lrb- digital -rrb- output for a great price . install easily , set up as expect , and now both monitor be happy . have not explore all the feature , be not a gamer , but happy with Adobe again . +135 GraphicsCard POS 4 I purchase and install this video card to replace a similar one with a very noisy cooling fan . the install be a breeze , and the new software load without problem . I be happy with the product itself , but when you go online to register the card so that the warranty be honor , the drop-down list of card of this type do not include this specific card . there be no way to manually enter the model number , so you can not register the card ... mean you have no warranty support if it be to fail . +370 GraphicsCard NEG 1 no free game ! no lifetime warranty ! why vendor feel the need to lie to they customer be beyond I . EVGA have lose my business for life so they could make one sale . the sad thing be I still would have buy it without the fraudulent promise . the card work like you would expect , too hot and too loud compare to AMD , but better driver support -lrb- no stuttering -rrb- and slightly better general performance . if I have to do it over , I would go for the 580 from another vendor or wait until next spring for the next gen chip . +676 GraphicsCard POS 4 the usb additional monitor device work good with excellent picture quality . do not expect high performance graphic to be the best . for general computing it be good . important note : this device be power from the usb connection . that mean without a external power source , if you usb port be not up to full power or you be use a pcmcium card , the device will not operate properly . +309 GraphicsCard POS 5 I need a good card to upgrade my Dell so I could play some of the newer game . I be not interesting in pay a whole lot for it and when I check out this card , I note the number of people who say it be a good card . I have a Geforce 6200 with 256 of RAM I bring for a Compaq SSF Evo 510 and it work out great . this card prove to be worth every penney of what I spend on it . installation be easy and the the software installation be easy too . the extra video RAM help my 2.8 gig p4 a lot and be much better than the on board video . for the price , this card perform very well . one could spend more and get a better card , but for what I need it for it be perfect ! good card !! +701 GraphicsCard POS 5 this thing be powerful , I buy this as a replacement for my Sapphire ATI 4890 and it give I huge performance gain +177 GraphicsCard POS 4 machine : a very modest Lenovo ideacentrek330b i3-2120 3.3 Mhz win 7 64x w\/500g I have have the card install for about 24 hour . these review prove very valuable to I while research my GPU upgrade purchase so I feel compel to relate my experience . firstly , order with Prime : Free 2-Day shipping be the greatest . Whomever pack my order must have know my intent -lrb- I order a new psu with that the same shipment -rrb- because it be perfectly package with a more than modest amount of packing material . contents : 2x pci-e cord - only about 9-10 inch long , they be not adequate for my mid-size case . luckily my PSU come with pci-e also . Install Disc - it be a disc . \* bonus : a shiny , little ` power by Sapphire ' sticker for the tower ! install be simple enough , but my tower be not the largest and my SATA connection be set directly behind where the 6870 be suppose to go . previous review do NOT understate the size of the component - I think it be measure at approximately 10 inch ? it work out though . I be concern when I read report of a loud fan but I can tell that this card in my machine be quieter than whisper . in fact , after my GPU and PSU upgrade I barely even hear my computer at all . do not be concern after initial boot-up after installation , the resolution and screen size will be minimal before software install and driver update be complete . Performance : Windows experience 7.8 in my setup ! StarCraft default to extreme setting and run like a champ . Bulletstorm and Skryim -lrb- w\/HD mod -rrb- both default to high as well . also load up BioShock 1 & 2 -lrb- high -rrb- and civilization v - which oddly enough seem to stutter a bit ... under 16x anti-aliasing , which be extreme to I . all in all , i be super pleased and I thank everyone that take the time to write down they experience . +466 GraphicsCard POS 5 pro : card work as advertised !!! Amazon customer service be the best ! con : evga rebate suck !!! I send in all the proper and required document and they deny my rebate !! evga send a email with the same invoice Amazon give I and they say it be not approve even when they have copy of it !!! go to call and talk to they supervisor and get to the bottom of this . Newegg review say the same thing about evga review . if I do not get my rebate I will never ever buy a evga product again !!!! +267 GraphicsCard POS 5 run every game at max out setting 1080p no problem . I will say this though while play game it be not noticeably faster than a custom 7970 like the Sapphire dual x oc . I have problem with my 7970 and switch . I expect a bigger performance increase due to all the hype do not believe it they be both amazing videocard . if you can grab a aftermarket 7970 for around 450 $ i would not wait for this . unless you run frap the whole time play all you game you will not notice the difference . bf3 , witcher 2 , Metro 2033 , diablo 3 , crysis 2 , be the game I try with it . system : i5 2500k xfx xxx edition 850w PSU Asrock Extreme 3 gen 3 mobo 8gb 1600 corsair vengence ddr3 ram +690 GraphicsCard NEG 1 do not take my word for it , do a search on `` 560 ti 2gb artifact . '' you will find quite a few people with persistent similar problem who have also have to return this card multiple time . I be on my third card . after the first two I decide the problem must be something else on my system . now I have a new computer with a different brand of motherboard but the same graphic problem . evga send I a collection of test they want I to run even although the problem show up at the bio splash screen and have show up with this card install in two different computer . after all the time I have already waste test the multiple failure of this card this be the final straw . this be the fourth evga graphic card I have buy over the year . it will be my last . +845 GraphicsCard POS 4 I actually trade this product for some computer repair work . the recipient seem satisfied exchange $ 65 worth of labor for this card . he say it perform well . it do not fit in my case , but that be my fault . this particular card will not fit in a slimline case , but they do not advertise it as a low profile , so it be my error . +289 GraphicsCard POS 5 pro ; - the non-ref 6950 Dirt 3 ed . run modern game with ease - easy to overclock with the free Sapphire TRIXX program - stay really cool -lrb- just like another reviewer comfirm -rrb- -32 c on idle ; do nothing , 40 ~ 45c web browse on ff5 , ~ 69c max load after a hour or so of bad company 2 , cod4 , metro , ect . datum be take from trixx gadget on window 7 's sidebar -2 gb gddr5 memory help with aa and high-re gaming - free dirt 3 steam voucher include - dual bio switch for those nasty bios-flashing mishap . although defeat the bio flash purpose because amd laser cut the extra 6970 shader . - hdmus cable -lrb- i think 1.4 a -rrb- , dvi-to-vga adapter , sapphire sticker , driver disc , crossfire bridge , and two 4-pin psu to pci-e adapter be include ; standard with sapphire video card i guess - very quiet ; so quiet , i think i have to rma because of the fan - voucher to join the Sapphire Select Club include -2 year warranty with registration on sapphire 's website - support amd hd3d for those with bluray drive , 3d monitor , and 3d game con ; - two card in crossfire only , no triple crossfire x - can not flash 6970 shader -lrb- just a head up for those look to unlock -rrb- - large card for those people with mid case ; i think it be around ~ 11in - cover some slot so make sure you motherboard be big enough to fit 2 of these or a audio card if you desire so - hard-to-find bio switch - need a active display port adapter for 3-monitor eyefinity setup other thought ; - need two 6-pin pci-e power cable , min 500w psu - have a blue circuit board - i read somewhere online that this sapphire model use japanese capacitor so voltage tweaking be possible ; i have not try this though - have it run at 900\/1350 with trixx - this be a link to the benckmark site Tweaktown for the location of the bio switch -lrb- ... -rrb- conclusion ; - imho , the best bang-for-buck 6950 out there ; even some 6950 1gb retail more than this 2gb gddr5 card online , factor in the dirt 3 voucher , accessory and rebate , and the temp with the custom cooler , this be a must buy in my perspective . it be a good overclocker too ! +430 GraphicsCard NEG 1 the gtx 680 series be awesome it be a very efficient powerfull card and evga be probably the best gpu maker out there but this paticular model have show to exhibit problem that be just now start to become more wide spread with mine in particular the card clock lock at 706mhz while gamee if you have this card download msus after burner or precision and watch the clock after a gaming session to make sure you card be overclco properly . I realy wish I could give this card 5 star because I Love EVGA and the gtx 680 card and the look of this card be all class but I can not deny issue this card be have with lock clock and it seem to be this model in particular . I be about to request rma for mine . +389 GraphicsCard POS 5 I get this vid card because it be the best my motherboard will support , and power supply i have be dinky . I get it for Diablo 3 it run very s mooth in a single person game with all set on low . my computer kinda suck as well . I still p ; ull 40 - 50 fp solo except when i run into large pack of mob . if comp be better i bet card would perfome alot nicer . +362 GraphicsCard POS 5 buy this card to crossfire with my Powercolor 6950 2gb . they be run flawlessly . have not try to overclock since I have not need to , still use only 1 monitor . this do not come with a crossfire bridge . in case you be think of buy two of these , you will have to purchase one separately . Mine come with my Powercolor 6950 . +616 GraphicsCard POS 5 First off , this be not `` the best '' card out there , however this single card can still run many of today 's modern game on high\/ultra\/max . a few exception would be game like battlefield 3 , Crysis , Starcraft II , cutting-edge game that be push the limit of today 's technology . I intend to Crossfire another one of these card within the near future which will push I over what would be require to run the previously mention game max out . -lrb- to put it in perspective it will bottleneck my CPU at stock speed . -rrb- this card run ASUS 's DirectCUII , while it be not the best look card on the market , twice the fan mean up to 20 % cooler , and significantly quieter . I can crank my card up to 55 % -lrb- use ASUS GPUTweak software -rrb- before i be able to hear they . with they default manual setting , the card constantly run at around 20 % -lrb- though I have not do any at-load gaming which would up the fan speed -rrb- , and be unidentifiable from the symphony of case fan -lrb- my case , the Antec df-85 come stock with 7 fan , with a optional 8 ` th on the left-side cutout , which I have install -rrb- Whenever possible , I opt for asus . they product be build to a higher standard , and I have only have one product partially fail on I , a ASUS monitor ship with doa integrate speaker -rrb- and this card be no exception . thus far , I have nothing bad to say about this card ! +141 GraphicsCard POS 5 I have no complaint everything look wonderful with this graphic card ! I be play the new Star Wars : The Old Republic and everything look great ! +879 GraphicsCard POS 5 there be no need to overclock the card , its out of the box fasy and I run SWTOR , DIABLO 3 , Mass effect 3 all on high setting at 1920x1200 . +429 GraphicsCard POS 5 I get this video card as a gift from a friend of mine and I only have my integrate graphic card before this and it make I play game so much easier . I mostly play a game call League of legend and I go from 15fp on all low setting to be able to play on all high setting if I want . I would not get it if you be a hardcore gamer or anything but I would recommend it to get smoother fp on not very demand game -lrb- like mmorpg game -rrb- on a older computer . +44 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy this card as a replacement for 128 meg card that be begin to humm and buzz . the new card work with no problem , but the thing that surprise I be that it noticeably speed up other application that I run constantly . the control panel provide with it be also very nice . +368 GraphicsCard POS 4 first thing that hit I be that this thing be enormous ! I have have 2 slot video card before but this one feel so much bigger . the heat sink be outrageously large . ca not say anything else yet . I have to figure out how to fit this into the tight space in my pc ... Update : just so happen that my old video card -lrb- 8800gt -rrb- die from overheate , so I have no choice but take my pc apart to fit this monster in . so far so good ! Works as expect . big improvement over the old card in both performance score and the card be roughly 20f cooler than the old one . +762 GraphicsCard POS 5 I buy this to use in conjunction with a Ivy Bridge processor 's integrated graphic so I could run 3 monitor without have to use DisplayPort . it seem that 2 DVI port on a graphic card be rare , this be one of the only one I find . I have 1 monitor run through HDMI off the Ivy Bridge 's graphic , and the other 2 monitor off the 2 DVI port on this card , and after a little tweaking in the bio etc. it work like a charm . I do not use it too heavily , no game or anything , but it be simple and painless and work great , so I be quite happy . the only thing that be not great be the rebate process - I hate these , they try to make it so difficult to get the rebate I guess hope you will give up and not go for it . just make the thing cheaper instead ! but they say my check be come in 6-8 week , so I guess I penetrate the bureaucracy ! +978 GraphicsCard POS 5 there be few manufacturer make they own version of hd 7970 , but I choose Sapphire HD 7970 OC . because it have big dual fan which be not only cool the card effectively but also very quiet . I be amaze how effective this cooling solution to the system . the other feature I like about , it have dual bio which be very good feature that you can lock in the highest clock speed . moreover , this card come with the complete accessory such as CrossFire connector , mini-dp to DVI dongle , hdmus to DVI adapter , mini-dp to dp cable , DVI to VGA adapter and 8-pin to 4-Pin Power cable . this card will stay in my system for quite a while until AMD introduce the new technology .

s-video cable this video card be also Windows 7 compatable . I have Windows 7 Ultimate Edition and it work great ! if you use this with Windows 7 you just have to download the newest driver for it from the evga website . I would recomend this video card to anyone who want or need high quality video . +76 GraphicsCard POS 5 this video card be awesome . Rates a 7.8 in Windows 7 and be noticeably well construct . I have buy a gigabyte 6850 video card and keep have the driver fail and blue screen despite try different driver . needless to say I send it back . hope that be be not immature driver for this series I decide to buy this card by sapphire base on the review and up-close picture of the product show its sturdy construction and elegant style . since install , I have not have any problem even with it overclock . I will never buy gigabyte again . have nothing but problem with 4 motherboard by gigabyte and now the video card . Goodbye gigabyte . hello sapphire ! +334 GraphicsCard NEG 1 I buy this video card base on amazon review . let I just start by say I build my own computer for many year , I know how to install new hardware . the first card install fine and work for about a day before I start get artifact -lrb- green box -rrb- on the screen . after 2 day the video driver would crash randomly . I exchange this card with amazon . the second card would not even boot ! I try everything and I could not even get a image to display . so I return that as well and go back to my 6870 , which work perfectly . from my experience , I would not recommend this card , it be noisy and defective . +500 GraphicsCard POS 5 I be not a hardcore gamer interested in FPS and that stuff but I can say I have not come across a game that I can not run at the very maximum setting super comfortably . I play bf3 , gta4 , Fifa 12 , Crysis 2 and Dirt 3 . this card give I a Windows Index score of 7.9 I have be impressed thus far with this card and I would highly recommend it to anyone not willing to fork out the extra fund to get the 680 . I live in Jamaica so it do run kinda warm , but I have no regret . here 's my setup graphic : evga geforce gtx670 ftw 2048mb gddr5 256bit , dual Dual-Link DVI , HDMI , DisplayPort , 4-way SLI Ready Graphics Card Graphics Cards 02g-p4-2678-kr +532 GraphicsCard POS 5 I be fairly new to pc gaming , so I get my foot wet with 2x 560 , so after decide that I like it , I decide to get a couple higher end gpus that would be good for a few year because I do not plan to build or swap component too often , so I go with 2x 680 card . I consider purchase 2x 580 sc or classify , but find out the 680 be come and would be a bit better , require less power and quieter to operate and I would not have to upgrade my PSU -lrb- Corsair ax750 -rrb- to run both card over clocked and with a over clocked CPU , which be one of the feature that grab my attention . First off , I do not care about who be king -lrb- i.e. 680 vs 7970 -rrb- ; I will leave that to those that care as it be not a competition to I . I can not compare these card because I have never own the 7970 , but it be a significant and worthy upgrade from the 560 . my setup be not complicate and do not require the sc -lrb- can over clock reference card if need -rrb- , ftw , 4gb or the Hydro version , so I do not care about they nor have all the bell and whistle ; all I need be the basic reference version and with 2 of they all game run exceptionally well with all setting max -lrb- crysis2 , Crysis , Batman ac and bf3 -rrb- with no problem . all I care about be do they work for I and the answer be a definite yes . I do not plan to go 3d or surround ; only use one monitor at the moment 1920x1200 -lrb- fp be really good -rrb- , but will upgrade soon -lrb- 2560x1600 , hd monitor ??? -rrb- . over clock these card be different than the previous generation card , but not hard at all ; just add what additional amount of gpu clock or memory clock you want on top of the standard clock . ex . if you want 100mhz more core gpu clock than standard , just add 100mhz and you get 1106mhz -lrb- 1006 + 100mhz -rrb- . the 680 be dynamic - mean the various clock speed change base on the scene in a game ; if it do not require lot of power , it down clock and vice versa . so use the clock example above , the 680 will fluctuate between say 340mhz and 1106mhz during a game as need -lrb- note : these figure be for illustration purpose only -rrb- . one thing 680 owner need to know be that you must create a custom fan curve to keep temperature below 70 \* and definitely below 80 \* to keep the card from down clock ; these be the trigger point at which the card will drop performance -lrb- see link below -rrb- . if you leave the fan curve on stock setting , the card will reach 85 \* and it will down clock accordingly -lrb- i.e performance may suffer -rrb- . the 680 will perform differently on different system as no 2 system be the same , so remember that when you see someone claim a benchmark score much higher than yours - always check they system spec -lrb- water vs air , different cpus , oc would cpus etc. -rrb- . as with anything new , you have those early adopter that be have issue with the card , but that seem to be the norm with new technology until thing get iron out . then you have those that just complain and whine about every little nicky picky thing , so you need to tread very carefully when read review . all the review site I have read show these card as be top notch , so some of the issue may be with the individual 's system or immature driver -lrb- bet on the latter -rrb- . bf3 multiplayer seem to be the game most be hope run nicely with this card from my reading , so far the game be very fluid -lrb- single campaign -rrb- for I and graphic be really nice , too . no problem for I . not a multiplayer yet - remember I be fairly new to this stuff and learning . I turn off all those AA setting in Nvidia control panel so that I can set they in the game 's menu . I can not tell you what to buy , but I can say that these card be not bad at all and will run the game mention above very well in slus with the right build . with slus , I just leave the card at stock setting , max all game setting for game play and over clock for bench only . for I , there be just no need to overclock for game right now . my 3dmark11 benchmark score : 130-155-400 -lrb- most stable clock -rrb- p16157 x7077 positive : low fan noise low idle temp -lrb- 31-32 \* -rrb- low peak temp with custom fan curve -lrb- 66 \* -rrb- . ax750 PSU run SLI easily sli - automatic max setting in all game lightweight only 10 '' long negative : fan speed cap at 85 % voltage cap at 1.175 v System Specs for reference : case : haf 932 PSU : Corsair AX750 MB : Asus P8z68 V pro CPU : i7 2600k @ 4.6 ghz Ram : Corsair vengeance 16gb - 1600 GPU : gtx 680 slus CPU Cooler : cm 212 Evo Windows pro 64 bit -lrb- ... -rrb- +34 GraphicsCard POS 5 this video card be worth every penny ! arrive in 3 day Ohio to Texas via FedEx Ground and package very well i might add . upgrade my Dell Dimension e310 which have the 128mb Intel 915 graphic card build into the system board . Windows 7 system rating be 1.0 but be now 2.4 with this card install . it boost the graphic to 2.4 and gaming graphic to 3.1 . now the Aero effect be work and there more clarity in picture and video . simple install with Windows 7 . insert Card into PCI Slot and hook up monitor to the VGA connection . get latest device driver from nVidia website , install and you good to go . thanks to the seller for the great price and service . +163 GraphicsCard POS 5 I upgrade to this from a 9500 gt . -lrb- equivalent to upgrade from dial-up to broadband lol -rrb- ive be very impressed so far . the one I receive have the label hang off the edge near the fan and cause the fan to rub and make noise but i just cut that little bit off . whatever wattage psu it say be the minimum id get a little higher . i have a 500 watt psu and after 2 minute of a stress test it die . +829 GraphicsCard POS 5 replace vapor-x 5770 in MCP . . want a 6xxx card for the 3d and 240hz \/ \/ 120hz . thanks to AMD 's series ' screwy name system this seem to be better than a 5770 but not as good as a 5870 . why this card would not be a upgrade version of the 5870 I will never fully understand ... Card be large and I have to reroute my radiator line to get it to fit -lrb- compare to non-reference 5770 . not that big compare to 59xx but smaller tower will not work with this card . it come with the power adapter if you need they but I think all PSU 's come with they nowadays . should have come with the display cable and xfire cable . this mean that you 'll need to purchase the extra cable if use two hdmus out . I have a lot of problem set up and get the 5770 to ever work properly . this card be easy to install on the driver end . with every edition of catalyst it seem that it get more complex and add new bug while the old bug get fix . I be still have issue figure out how to get the display the way I want they while Windows fight to take control over they as well . that be not the card 's fault though , that be AMD 's poor software . the fan be loud when max out but that be to be expect . very quiet -lrb- I be compare it to a powercolor for reference -rrb- for gaming and usual use -lrb- assume you be not overclock it -rrb- . +668 GraphicsCard POS 5 extremely quiet even when the fan speed be high -lrb- compare to the 4870x2 it replace it be silent -rrb- . Easy installation and it handle all the game I own without break a sweat . I will give it a true test when Skyrim come down in price , but Diablo III do not even cause it to elevate setting and Arkham City at maximum with full dx11 effect only stutter once in 3 hour . my first Nvidia card and I be impressed . the OC software be simple to use and monitor temp and fan speed be easy to do . a little spendy , but warranty protection for a OC would card and the superior cooling be worth it . when the price drop I may likely add a second card in SLI mode . +283 GraphicsCard NEG 2 I do not know how well it work because its not for a mac but I could not find that information anywhere until I read it off the box in my hand . who know if it work but just do not buy it for a mac . +842 GraphicsCard NEU 3 decent card , it can run game like wow close to ultra @ 30-60 fp . do not do so well with shadow or really scenery heavy game like FSX . it overclock well but I have find that it can be somewhat unstable -lrb- even when not overclock -rrb- . it be not very loud , 500 watt be all I need for the power supply , it come with 2 4 pin peripheral-6 pin converters\/extension cord . finally it be fairly big : it be as long as the motherboard and while it only need one pcie plug it will take up 2 pcus slot at the back of the computer . it sit up far enough from the motherboard to avoid hit the bio and stuff like that that might be sit around you card . do not know if I 'll ever get my rebate though and the Dirt 3 coupon have already be expire for half a month when I get it . so not the best service . +502 GraphicsCard NEU 3 this adapter be easy to install and use in Windows 7 , and give pretty decent resolution . but it be not hdcp compliant . this mean it will not play purchase or rental movie dvd 's or hd streaming movie . +831 GraphicsCard NEG 2 first one die after 2 month of use . replacement card run very hot 73-80c on load . I really think that the heat sink attach to this card be not very adequate . +472 GraphicsCard POS 5 the StarTech usb to VGA Video adapter work as promise . Easy to hook up and I search to the StarTech.com web site to get the latest software update for enable the adapter . so far it work great and I have no complaint . I would recommend it to other . +210 GraphicsCard POS 4 buy two at the same time , put one in my hp , and one in wife hp . hers work great and have have no issue yet . mine however like to over heat and turn my computer off , i change driver and have the issue much less , over all real nice product good for gaming . +14 GraphicsCard POS 5 buy two of these from Amazon and they both unlock . I have they run at 900\/1400 1.175 v. I be use trixx software to overclock . both be crossfire and play bf3 great . very happy with the purchase . +590 GraphicsCard POS 5 originally , I buy the MSI 7970 Lightning because of the legendary performance that usually come with the lightning product line . unfortunately , I be only able to overclock the card to 1170 on the core and 1500 on the VRAM . this be in line with the experience that reviewer related , but it be a bit disappointing . in addition , the lightning that I have would occasionally lock up , even when it be not overclock . for six Benjamins , I be not go to put up with that , so I send it back . after scour the review , I decide that I would get a gtx 680 , even though I be uncomfortable with the 2 gb of VRAM -lrb- I game at 2560x1600 -rrb- . the reason I be a little doubtful be that when I track VRAM usage in skyrim with all my hd mod , I frequently utilize all of the 3 gb of VRAM on the 7970 . despite these misgiving , I settle down to wait for a gtx 680 to pop up . then I have a chance to get a Sapphire Dual-X 7970 OC for four hundred thirty dollar . I have read good review on the Sapphire 7970 , and be impress with the overclock that reviewer be able to get on they . I decide to take a chance on the Sapphire over the gtx 680 , since it be nearly a hundred less than what I could get a 680 for . so far , I be very glad I take the plunge . the oc I be get on the card I get be amazing ! I can play Skyrim at 1270 on the core and 1700 on the VRAM -lrb- at 1.2 volt -rrb- with no problem . and I have not even push it to the max yet to see how high I can go ! at these speed , I think I be get better performance than a overclocked gtx 680 would provide . to top it off , the Sapphire cooler be both quieter and cooler than the MSI lightning cooler . Max temp with my MSI be about 70 c in game , but I have not ever hit above 65 c with my Sapphire yet . the only two issue I see be a potential problem be a slight coil whine when I abuse the card in Furmark -lrb- no sound at all during gaming , though -rrb- , and the fact that the 7970 will not wake up after the computer go to sleep . I have to reboot it . however , that be a problem with all 7970s it seem , since my msus do it too , and I have read that a lot of other people have the same problem . the other sticking point for I be Sapphire 's warranty . sure , 3 year be good , but several manufacture be do the warranty by serial number instead of have it stick with the purchaser . this could be a problem if you ever want to sell the card in the future . if Sapphire do they warranty by serial number , like some of they competition , that would be a huge boost in they favor . in short , if you want a fantastic video card for a great price , look no further . get it ! +493 GraphicsCard POS 5 I originally be go to purchase this on Newegg , but they sell out . Amazon to the rescue ! I buy this card as a replacement for a burn out 5870 , so I be not see a huge improvement , but the hd 5870 be already a great card so I be not expect too much of a boost . that say , this thing run anything I throw at it . I cheap out and go with AMD for a CPU , so I do not ULTRA MAX EVERYTHING like some people be able to with this card , but I can run Skyrim at 40-60fp on Ultra High Quality with 8x aa and 16x af , and Crysis at very high at 30-40fp with 4x aa . these be about 5 to 10 frame higher than my 5870 be run they at so , I be happy with it . I do not have battlefield 3 yet , or I would test that as well . Arkham City run great if I leave dx11 off , though this be more a issue with the game than the card . for unlocker : the card that I receive doe have a bio switch on it , but I could not get it to unlock the 6970 shader . I have read that some people have have success with it , but after work with it for a few hour , all I get be a card that would crash and produce major artifact with any bio other than the original one . I be still satisfied though , because I 'll be crossfire these by Christmas next year , with a i7 cpu hopefully as well . : -rrb- overall , I be quite satisfied , provide this one do not die in a year and a half like my 5870 do . I 'll update this review if it do , or if I have any other issue with it . +438 GraphicsCard POS 5 i buy the gtx 670 2670-kr model and last about 2 week . please buy this model -lrb- 2678-kr model -rrb- i do not hear any problem at newegg website review for 2678-kr model . i see the benchmark at youtube and gtx 680 and 670 be almost same performance . but gtx 570 and 580 make a huge difference . +32 GraphicsCard NEG 1 do not waste you money on this card ... my old 6600GT Card start to fail so I purchase this . it do not play call of duty game very well . . only at 20 fp . horrible . I end up get a use 7600gt for the same price and it be awesome . 150fp + my old 6600gt be over 100fp and would be another better option and much much better card than this one . gt model number make a big difference ! +584 GraphicsCard POS 5 this card work fine , but find driver be more work than it should have be . use the CD PROVIDED ... life will be easier . diff --git a/train/Headphone.txt b/train/Headphone.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..f56aaefc4fc8882d06f1db38d1ed4f66384468d0 --- /dev/null +++ b/train/Headphone.txt @@ -0,0 +1,701 @@ +740 Headphone POS 5 I be very glad I buy these . they be exactly what I want . they do not tangle . they be very sturdy . and come to find out they have great sound .

I pay about the same ammount for these as I have my previous 3 set -lrb- other brand and type -rrb- that I buy from a local store and these blow those away , not to mention those all end up tear up . oh yeah , they be very comfortable . just put on the appropriate ear piece that suit you and you 'll end up forget they be in . +859 Headphone POS 4 Alright so here be the skinny on the ever popular and relatively stylish Hesh : comfort : these headphone be , over-all comfortable . my head be on the larger side and they have the perfect snugness for I . I think headphone should be tight enough to stay on but loose enough not to smoosh you brain . these fit the bill as far as I be concerned . i have rather short hair specifically for the reason that I wear headphone everywhere because I do not like it mess up my hair -lrb- girl thing -rrb- . these headphone do make my ear a little sweaty after awhile -lrb- but hey I do live in calus -rrb- . if you have a lot of hair , you may take issue with these headphone just because the cup be a little toasty . sound : I think the biggest issue with judge sound be people have to be comparative . so I will say outright that I be compare these to my favorite headphone of all time , my lp v-moda headphone . compare to my V-Moda headphone , these actually have a pretty comparable bass . these headphone provide some good sound at HIGH VOLUME LEVELS . at low volume level there be no depth at all . the Hesh be pretty awesome all around . they produce great rock !!! however I find they to be on the shallow side as far as the sound go . certainly not v-moda caliber depth , but the sound be nice and smooth anyway so they be worth compare to high caliber headphone . these headphone will leak sound . just as almost all over-ear headphone do . if you want non-leak headphone , get ear bud . no good headphone will just not leak sound unless you like you music quiet and bass . but chance be if you be look at these , you be a rocker like I . \* I judge headphone sound by how well they do on the Radio Sunnydale album . I be not a rap fanatic so I will not try to judge bass beat . durability : Pretty acceptable in term of durability . they have a slightly cheap feel to they when you first start use they , but they really be pretty solid . if you do not go out of you way to smash at they , they should last like forever -lrb- bar you have to send they back for technical difficulty -rrb- . the band look plasticy , but it be really mostly make of canvas . I have not have mine long enough to really get dirty , but as long as you do not spill anything on the canvas , they should be great . that be say , I be not real sure if these be worth 50 dollar base on build alone . the ear cup be not very high quality material , which be why i think they can get sweaty . I get mine for 25 buck , I think if you get they for under 40 , its a sweet deal . I would pay 50 for these on a low budget . otherwise , you 'll be happier go for V-moda lp -lrb- the memory foam and surround sound in the lp be drool worthy -rrb- . style : they be pretty stylish . just say . the color really pop the way I think it would . -lrb- note : the headphones\/earphones I own be V-Moda lp , Skullcandy Ink 'd , Zumreed , WESC Maracas . -rrb- I try to balance style and sound . the Zumreeds and Maracas be lower sound quality than hesh . about the same as the Ink 'd . lower than v-moda . +933 Headphone POS 5 I buy these for my son a he just love they , I put they on myself a they fit very well seem very sturdy a the sound be great . a as usual with Amazon you can expect fast ship a excellent packaging . +607 Headphone POS 4 my wife love these headphone . I have work in loud environment my whole life , so my hearing be not as good as hers . she use to constantly complain that I have the tv , or music too loud . while sometimes I would use a cord headphone , it be too constrict . the sound quality of this set of cordless headphone be on par with the high end cord headphone I own -lrb- bose -rrb- . while I do not get the range that other seem to get , I enjoy be able to get up and move around without be tethered to a cord . I be not a audiophile , but I do enjoy my music and will not tolerate hiss etc. . my wife have use these several time and want to know when I be get she a set . well I finally order she a set .

I be after some circum-aural , close back , reasonably price and reasonably balanced headphone and these tick all the box . the sound be great , the cable be long enough for my need , it come with a pouch to store they in when you be not wear they and they look pretty great too . the major flaw with this product be that these headphone be so tight that they soon become unbearable to wear . the band be very small and tightly spring and by the time half hour have pass and I have have these press against the side of my head I have a headache and feel slightly nauseous . not ideal condition to say the least . I wear glass and have the arm of they press against my skull be unbearable , but even when I try these with my glass off it be still too uncomfortable . I even try a few day with these stretch over a box whenever I be not wear they and whilst this help very slightly , it be never comfortable enough to wear these to enjoy my music . the packaging , as other have note be atrocious as well , it be a mission to get into these and you need a sharp knife and much care so as not to damage the headphone as you open they . I be disappoint with these , as apart from the one major flaw these be exactly what I be after and after considerable time research different type of headphone for my requirement these fall short of the mark in the comfort stake . I send mine back for a refund , but I would still suggest they be worth a try as the other feature be so good , just be aware they may be too tight for you .

I read a few review and be still not sure about it but I go for it . they be great , they fit great , great sound overall great . +511 Headphone POS 5 the headphone be very good , and they come exactly how describe on the website . very rugged , and comfortable , however the only drawback be that i can not work out with these headphone due to the leather cushion . but other then that , i would defintely recommend these +105 Headphone NEG 1 upon first impression , I be so happy with these headphone . they look great , feel great , and , for the first few day , work great . even block out all of the obnoxious noise on a airplane and throught the busy street of Chicago ! however , within the week of have they , the right ear go out , which REALLY disappoint I . and then , I go to try and call monster , as the instruction that come in the pack say to do for warranty reason , and they line be down - but only do they tell I this after keep I on hold for thirty minute . finally I be able to exchange they out for a new pair . I be weary , but they be work alright upon first test they out . that be , until a day later , when I be just sit at work , listen to pandora , nothing too loud , not move like I be at the gym or anything , and the left earbud go out . really ?! so I be return they for my money back for good now . if they would last , then I would have give these a 5 star review . but alas , that be not the case ... one two pair . odds be against ya , beat . +662 Headphone POS 5 I love these thing I think I purchase every color , give some to family and friend . sometimes I like to switch up , the sound quality be great as well ... +654 Headphone POS 5 09\/06\/2009 Update ! I have have they for a few month now and my musical taste range from Hilary Hahn to Victor Wooten which be a broad spectrum and I still think that they be terrific . original comment : these thing work just great ! the hardest part be wait the sixteen hour for the battery to charge . +86 Headphone POS 5 this set of headphone be just outstanding , I have be involve with the audio world for 19 year include have work with pro audio and this be by far the best audio equipment purchase that I have make , these be the best bang for the buck ever . the phone sound very linear and clean from distortion , it be not the last word in resolution but it be still fairly accurate . even if it cost 4x more it would still be worth it imho . leo-300z +399 Headphone POS 5 these thing be great ! they have great bass if you use the right ear piece which be just what I be look for . thank you Jesus ! -lrb- and Amazon -rrb- : -rrb- +231 Headphone POS 4 I buy these headphone primarily for music and pc gaming , and although I find they a little overpriced they do not disappoint . the sound quality be good ; I listen to a wide variety of music , from rap to techno to classical , and I be happy with the overall sound of these phone . if I be to nitpick , though , I would say that the bass on these phone may sound muddy to some ; it really vary for each person and I would recommend that you try a pair at you local store -lrb- best buy , target , etc. usually have display stand if there be no bose store around -rrb- before you buy . on to comfort , then . I can honestly say that these headphone be by far the most comfortable I have ever worn -lrb- note : I have a fairly large head , too -rrb- . if you like on-ear headphone , then you 'll love the way these feel . the cushioning be soft and do not cause you ear to sweat like I have experience with some other on-ear headphone . I would recommend the bose on-ear headphone to anyone look for a very comfortable pair of headphone with good sound ; if you be look for the best bang for you buck as far as sound quality go , though , I would probably look elsewhere . +462 Headphone POS 5 I buy these headphone after read the review and the good rating . all I can say be these headphone be probably the best headphone I have ever own . the sound be phenomenal . I sometime use they for watch movie on my laptop the sound be so good it sound as if I be at the theater . music the high , mid , low come through very well . for the price you cant beat it . these headphone can go for much more than what they cost . +106 Headphone POS 5 First of all these be very very high quality build headphone , thick plush leather , strong dense aluminum . they be over the ear head phone , and be very snug and comfortable . I have hear of people say they hurt , that be a total lie unless you have huge ear but my ear fit perfectly inside the cup . I would buy these again and again . they be the best dre headphone out there . they be $ -lrb- ... -rrb- with shipping , but I guess I have they now , lol . they be very expensive to what I really think they should be sell for but they be worth it if the Studios be $ -lrb- ... -rrb- . these be total show stopper and have a very clean sound . I have use but not purchase one over $ 1000 but they be for more of a recording purpose type of headphone . these be truly a great product but think they will require alot of juice to run off of a ipod . again these fit well on normal size ear . +948 Headphone NEU 3 these be decent , but not great sound headphone . I be review they in the context of a set of headphone use without a headphone amp , plug into a decent sound source -lrb- which I have test with other headphone and know it have enough power to easily drive a pair of 64 ohm headphone -rrb- . so while I suspect a dedicated headphone amp might change the review a little , I would be surprise if it make a night and day difference . however , please understand that since I have not try they with a dedicated headphone amp , if that be how you plan to listen to they you mileage may very well vary and you would likely be better serve by a review from someone who have . with that out of the way : First , what they do well : - good balance on the mid and high , slight bright coloration , but not too much - good external noise isolation , even without sound -lrb- I use they at work -rrb- - decent sound stage , not super expansive but definitely above average . - average immediacy of attack . not really fast like Grados , or on the slow side , like Sonys - somewhere in between what they do not do well : - there be a noticeable sub-bass boost , which might be great for people who like hip hop , but I like my music the way it be record I be also very careful of my hearing - which mean I have to turn the volume way down so that the thump bass be not too loud . - oddly , the bass itself be muddy and undefined . to gauge sound quality , I use these to listen to a song I have master -lrb- I do this because I know the song very well and know exactly what to listen for -rrb- . I have master it use several headphone and speaker for reference - first , beyerdynamic 880 and focal cms50 studio monitor -lrb- my recording setup -rrb- , then a pair of Sony DJ headphone -lrb- I forget the exact model -rrb- , then in a living room with Monitor Audio RS6 , then in my car , with a set of Grado SR80is and finally with some ipod earbud . get the mix to where it be fairly well balance in all these environment , especially the bass since it be a very important part of the song . through these , I notice good clarity , warm and engaging vocal . however , I could barely hear the bass -lrb- and in fact , I suspect that if I do not know the bassline by heart , I would not have hear it at all -rrb- . overall , these be decent headphone but there be better one at this price point . I find the sound scoop with a slight mid focus - which mean great for vocal , decent for crunchy guitar -lrb- which a lot of headphone do not do justice to -rrb- , but too much focus on the kick drum , and not enough clarity and definition in the bass and low midrange . if you be look for good headphone in this price range , for most style of music you would probably be better serve by Audio Technica m50 or the Grado headphone in this price range -lrb- sr60 or sr80 -rrb- \* for sound quality \* . the latter have they own drawback - they be color too , and tend to be on the bright end , but they be overall more balanced and engaging , and the brightness make they more detailed . +530 Headphone POS 5 this be my only set of headphone , so I have no comparison , but I find beautiful undistorted sound at all volume and a comfortable fit . I be very pleased with they . +201 Headphone POS 5 so far , I luv lem . ca not rate durability yet cause only have lem a couple of week . very comfortable , luv how they fold up for travel . great sound , great price , would def purchase another pair if need b. +469 Headphone NEG 2 I spend a lot of time look at review so I could get the most bang for the buck for some sport headphone so I could have something that do not fall out of my ear when work out . these seem well-approved for the price point in comparison to similar one , so I order they . from the first time I use they I could tell that not only be they less than I would hope for , they be far worse than the free earbud that come with my zen and my HP laptop . both speaker , especially the leave , buzz significantly , even on medium volume level . Bass be completely blow out and music -lrb- even on high bit-rate -rrb- sound pathetic . after only a few day with these , they be go back . I have test they on my computer -lrb- music and game -rrb- and a Walkman and can get better audio out of even $ 10 or less phone . in addition , the clip that come on the cord be a nuisance . it be in the way , can not be remove , and be worthless . it be hard to actually get clip to anything and require both hand to `` coordinate '' the clipping process , rather than be truly sporty and be a clip-on-the-run style . I would recommend other Sony headphone -lrb- and other brand in general -rrb- over these . +643 Headphone POS 4 I love anything by bose , but the price for these headphone be not mark down from the list price -lrb- the bose site have they list at the same price that Amazon consider `` discount '' -rrb- +274 Headphone POS 5 this headset have excellent quality of sound and the ability to adjust frequency to better clarify voice . it be very comfortable to wear , with little pressure on you ear . a wonderfull headset . +890 Headphone POS 5 I love music and have buy really expensive head phone that be not as good as the px 100 . they be the best head phone for the price . so much so I buy a second pair to work out in . yes I be a audiophile geek and I be very critical about my sound . no 128 bit rate for I I need 320. : - -rrb- +941 Headphone POS 5 these headphone deliver on the promise of CD quality sound . the replaceable battery be a fantastic feature , with a charger build into the transmitter there be no reason for any loss of listen time due to recharge . this pair have be in service for almost 3 year multiple hour per day and have be trouble free . my only two complaint be that I wish there be a way to remove the ear cup padding and clean it . the second one be interference with other 5.8 ghz device - maybe in the next version it will have a encode feature to prevent interference . +682 Headphone POS 4 at this price I do not think there be any reason not to make the purchase . the headphone be well build and provide a effective noise reduction for my 5-hour flight between US and Canada although it be not completely silent . I would say it be more like a 75 % reduction . like some other say the control unit be a bit bulky but ok for I . in term of battery life I be still on the first set of battery after 10 hour of usage . btw , this can be use as a normal headphone with the power turn off if you be in a not so noisy environment . +509 Headphone NEG 2 Klipsch make decent audio equipment , there be no deny that . however I be not sure what the design engineer be think when the idea for `` rugged '' headphone come up . there really be nothing rugged about these headphone . when you think rugged you think durable and build to last . the only thing that be rugged about these headphone be the big ass control panel . sure it be large enough so you can precisely control the volume or song selection with glove on if you work on a construction site for example . the problem with the big button be that if you plan on run with these , the control panel be so large that it flop all over the place . yes there be a cord clip include with these so you can clip the cord to you clothes if run but the cord be design in such a way that the control panel be above the clip so it just flop all over loose . this design flaw cause two thing to happen . first when the control panel be flop all over the place the constant tension cause the earbud to come out of you ear . nothing interrupt a good run like earbud constantly fall out . secondly because the control panel be so big and floppy , the result noise from this constant tug tension transfer up the cord to you ear , thus severely drown out you music . so even though you buy good quality earbud , you can not hear they because of this . if the engineer ever try these on before release to the public they must have do so in a non active environment . clearly none of they ever run in they otherwise there be no way they would have be design this way . I would not recommend these for run earbud , I would recommend the bose . they stay in the ear just fine and sound great . +347 Headphone POS 4 I use these headphone both in airplane and in my health club . they do a good job of cancel most noise in either place . the sound quality be quite good , with no obvious deficiency . the headphone come with a nice set of accessory : a carry case , two 1\/8 '' -lrb- 3.5 mm -rrb- audio cable , one short , one long , a two-pin airline adaptor , and a 1\/4 '' -lrb- 6.3 mm -rrb- audio plug adaptor . they also come with a top quality AAA battery . I have buy four set of these phone , one for my wife , and three for I . -lrb- I lose one set ; another develop a problem . -rrb- the only problem I have have be with the foam rubber ear cup . they come apart after a few year use , probably because they get damp from my sweat while exercise . -lrb- this be why I give they only four star . -rrb- I also consider get the latest bose headphone , but could not justify they higher price . other review on Amazon suggest that the Audio Technica phone sound better anyway . +669 Headphone POS 4 I need a cheap pair of headphone for run with my iPhone with the runkeeper app while play music . the Apple earbud would shift in my ear while run cause uneven sound . plus , they do not sound that great . these Koss headphone fit the bill perfectly . they stay on nicely , securely , and comfortably , even with glass on . the sound quality be unmatched at this price -lrb- I be sort of a headphone fanatic , own headphone of all sort include the Audio Technica ath-m50 , Shure SE530 , etymotic er-4p , Grado MS1 , etc -rrb- and these headphone , at a fraction of the price , have really satisfying sound . fit be important because if they be not clamp on securely enough , you will not get adequate bass response . it be tricky to put on at first , but once you get the hang of it , it only take a few seconds . +504 Headphone POS 5 I have a pair of these after my Sennheiser 's from college die finally -lrb- and I graduate in 1988 -rrb- . now I need another pair because my new dog eat MY FIRST PAIR !! the best thing about these , besides the fact that they be comfortable and the sound be great be the 6 meter cord with its own volume control that you can clip to you -lrb- that about 18 foot , so I can be across the room from a tv instead of 4 foot away like most headphone -rrb- . yes , thank you , I have try wireless . much more expensive and I be cheap and do not mind the cord . these rock . buy a pair , now . no , really , I mean it . make it 2 if you have a dog that like to eat cord ... +906 Headphone NEU 3 the noise canceling do not do good . you still hear the sound from outside . I feel the same as regular headphone plus when you turn on the noise cancel button , you will hear some kind of noise from you headphone . if you be look for the noise cancel headphone , it will not work . but it be fine as use a regular headphone . +305 Headphone NEG 2 the Bonging Sound Noise when you use the + volume control - be very annoying and it drive ME NUTS . now I do not use the headset volume + when I want to increase the volume - I have resort to have to use the ipod volume control - this be annoying also since I be suppose to be able to use the headset control . maybe I be just too picky . +262 Headphone POS 5 very good sound quality , feel good in the head . no cut . Easy pairing . long lasting battery . it make a good comfortable companion . +812 Headphone POS 4 amazing for the price ! not really sure yet about plug into just any impedance ; some equipment may not see the headset . still great for the price ! +652 Headphone NEU 3 I have own this pair of headphone for a year now and I would say that these be worth the purchase . I be write a review now because after a year of use , the right headphone finally snap off . even consider that , these headphone remain worth the price . pro - great sound quality ; Clear and handle bass really well that can otherwise be inaudible . - tight ; if you be in a loud environment , these will definitely make sure that no outside noise leak in while listen . - cord ; very long , conveniently wrap around , and very unobtrusive when wear the headphone . con - headband strap be incredibly flimsy ; the plastic inside of it appear to crinkle and crack to adjust to you head 's shape in a unflattering manner . the strap 's connector to the headband be make of fiber and very prone to twist . this cause I to fumble around with they every time before wear to twist they back into place . - screw be not tight ; somehow , one of the screw on the left headphone fall out a while ago . the headphone manage to remain attached , however . - uncomfortable after heavy use ; I use my headphone daily for many hour at a time and I experience soreness after remove they . - ear pad ; very prone to collect strand of hair and debris and be not easy to clean . they do remain removable , however , as I have remove and place they back on a few time before . - durability ; if you plan on use you headphone frequently for extended period of time , I do not recommend these headphone because of they cheap build and discomfort . +741 Headphone POS 5 well , I have no frame of reference as far as high-end headphone go , but these be by far the best headphone I have ever own . I be go to get the bose tri-port , but the review be bad , and I be look for a open design that still cover the ear . these be really comfortable when I do not have my glass on . they get a little uncomfortable after a while because of my glass , but what can you do ? they sound AMAZING . I could never tell the difference between mp3 and aac , now I definitely can , and I be convert everything in my iTunes library to AAC . I think the 9 foot long cord be way too much -lrb- it be cool to be able to plug directly into the back of my computer rather than plug into the staticy speaker , though -rrb- so I use a garbage bag twist-tie to bunch some of it up -lrb- which be not a inconvenience if you bunch it up in the middle , neither too close to the headphone nor too close to the plug -rrb- . the cool thing about the cord be that it be detachable ... I just do not know how to find a shorter version of this exact cord with which I can replace it . I burn they in -lrb- play a variety of musical style through the headphone for hour and hour when I first get they -rrb- or whatever -lrb- ... I be not sure if I do it correctly . oh well , they still sound great . -rrb- and the treble , mid , and bass all seem to be fine . I be hear thing I have never hear in some of my favorite song -lrb- ironically , I hear whisper vocal that speak of `` subtle detail '' in `` the Lemon of Pink Pt . 1 '' by the book -rrb- . my only complaint be I do not like silver . I be never go to understand why any headphone on earth have to be silver . I guess black plastic get hot in the sun . . but they generally look better , in my opinion . anyway , these be the best pair of headphone I have ever own and they only set I back thirty-five dollar . +122 Headphone POS 5 these headphone have a excellent sound quality for the price . it have a deep bass that , in my opinion , be well balance with the high and low . I play bass guitar , so I tent to enjoy a bass that be a little more pronounced rather then be subdue . the headphone themselves , while large in size , be comfortable and durable . my wife stretch they to they limit to place this on she belly so we soon-to-be-born son can listen , and there be no damage or stretch on the part of the headphone . after have use earbud for so long , I be amaze at the nuance in my music and movie that I can hear with these headphone . great job Sony ! +751 Headphone POS 5 I would like to be very unbiased I have listen to the sennheiser px100 they great phone and I really like they a lot but I do not want to pay 100 dollar for they and so I decide to get the Koss port pro and I will say the difference between they the px100 have less low end bass but very crispy high pitch koss have a excellent bass end but lack a little clarity of the higher pitch the sennheiser be less firm on you head almost do not notice they on you head the Koss have a adjustment to change tension but still should have more range of tension I think but it be still great . I be not go to say one be better than the other because they about equal I have get 4 people convert to the Koss that still enjoy they because of the low cost but the high quality +275 Headphone POS 5 much information have be write about these headphone which have long be on the market . in brief , these headphone sound great and be arguably the very best value in under $ 100 portable headphone . this be my second pair and would unhesitatingly give my highest recommendation . and not to forget , the purchase come with a no question ask lifetime guarantee from the manufacturer , Koss . +846 Headphone POS 4 unlike what some people be complain about , I get the item that be picture . it also work as advertise for my LG Cosmos . there be only one problem I have with this adapter : the connection be finicky . sometimes if I twist the plug on my phone jack , I can hear the sound go rather quiet . so , either the jack on my phone be bad or the wiring in the adapter be not the greatest . regardless , it be only a little over a dollar and still work pretty well so I be not really complain . +477 Headphone POS 5 I usually prefer the older over the head headphone but those be increasingly rare these day . these be my first behind the neck headphone and they be great . they be small and snug but in a good way . the best sound I have hear from sport headphone . the cord be small for have you mp3\/smartphone on you arm and a extension cord come with the product to keep it at you side or in you pocket . the extension cord have a volume knob as well . the headphone be water resistant . you will definitely enjoy these headphone . +321 Headphone POS 5 I reccommend they to all who want a nice pair of headphone at a great price , I own three pair of they for different member of my family . my twelve year old daughter love they . great quality and sound . +841 Headphone POS 5 great head phone period i just dont like that when you wear they alot my ear get hot but that it +880 Headphone POS 5 thanks about the special service i hope to bye more like those send to I and i hope to recive the same good service and bonus good look thanks mohana mexico +158 Headphone NEG 2 I buy my sennheiser in July 2011 and I be write in April 2012 . I have use these headphone on a almost aily basis in the gym and on plane and train . the sound quality be reasonable but be better with the noise cancel turn on . they sound distinctly flat when use without the noise canceling . the noise cancellation introduce a low volume hiss if it be use without a sound source . overall the best sound quality be achieve use the noise cancel turn up to the max and adjust volume on my mp3 player . the battery life of the nc be reasonable too . I never like the way they fold and most of the time do not fold they . I have give these a score of two star because they have break . the right hand speaker now only emit the occasional thump leave the left hand side in perfect work order . this be not relate to the cable as waggle they do not change a thing . so half my headphone have die within one year of use . these be not baby but nor be they abuse . I would like to recommend they but at full price I feel that they fragility let they down . I be glad I buy a extended warranty ... +218 Headphone POS 5 closed-back + circumaural + accurate sound = heck yes ! or quit good , sir . hd 215 be solid both at home and in noisy environment such as train , coffee house , massage-parlor police raid and civil war amputation tent . they be closed-back so they cut a good amount of ambiant-noise but they do so without sound closed-in or can . Circumaural ? they go around the ear , man , not on they . so they be comfortable for the entire ride , man . and they be light-weight to boot . so there be no need to work out the neck prior to purchase . Rock on or keep groovin ' or relax into the full spectrum of audio pleasure ... whichever you like . +811 Headphone POS 5 with a price like this , one can not really expect to have excellent quality headphone or comfortable ear pad , but Sennheiser prove this wrong . First of all , the head strap be on top of you head and not behind . this allow you to lean back in a chair or lie down while listen to music which be something I enjoy . the ear pad enclose you ear in a way that no sound escape and it produce bass sound that no normal speaker can make . these be indeed bulkier than earbud , but be well worth the weight . actually , the weight of these be pretty light compare to most other ear enclose headphone which make they great for almost anything . these probably be not the best for run with -lrb- however I find it pointless to run while listen to music because a car might hit you -rrb- , but if you do happen to run with they , they will stay on you head . these be not you normal flimsy 8 $ pair , but for the cost of what they be , the stability and quality sound be more than well worth the bargain . I use these mainly for my desktop computer in which I use Winamp , fl Studio , Audacity , Skype , Windows Live Messenger , web browsing , and various game . I have never worn anything better . there be only one small flaw that do not really matter , but after a lot of wear , the headphone will take shape and will not compress onto you head as much as they have when you first buy they . lastly , a comfortable length of cord come with this great pair of headphone along with a connector for a amp . all I can say be that there be never be a day where I do not want they . +964 Headphone NEG 2 I buy these headphone less then 4 week ago and have use they moderately since then . a few day ago I notice that a piece of the lock clip on the top of the headphone have break and today I go to unfold they and the whole lock clip break ! the noise cancel ability of these headphone be great for the price and with a decent battery you can get more than 24 hour of use from they . I have never drop they or do anything that would compromise the integrity of the plastic . so that lead I to believe that the plastic that they use to make they must be of a very low quality . the best noise cancel in the world be useless if you can not wear the headphone that have it . +499 Headphone POS 5 this be a excellent quality item . the sound be crisp and balanced as well as provide clearer bass response than any headset I have try . I listen to a vast selection of music type from baroque to hard rock . the only real let down be the ear hook . I find they to be useless but that could be just I . still , that be not a deal breaker . despite what they say , the cord will still tangle . however , they be a lot easier to untangle . I find that I need to use much smaller ear bud -lrb- the rubber bit -rrb- than I have with other headset . compare to other headset , the the ear piece be much longer . the ear piece tend to fall out unless I do that . not a problem , just a difference . +51 Headphone POS 5 these be the best headphone I have ever have . prior to get these , I have the Sony noise reduce headphone . the mdr-v600 be far superior and do a much better job . these HP 's be so comfortable I can sleep with they on . well worth the price you pay , do not waste you money on anything less . +464 Headphone POS 5 I buy these head phone for my portable dvd player and the sound be crystal clear , the great design let for comfortable listen +494 Headphone NEG 2 pro and con -- the con end up outweigh the pro , so I end up return these : -lrb- positive : - gorgeous : the rise red headphone look even better than they do in the picture . not jewel-like , but a nice multifaceted shiny pretty red that stand out . - sound quality : the sound quality be amazing -lrb- I try my old cheap headphone after listen to music for a while , and I could definitely hear a huge difference -- and I be not the type of person to be ` picky ' about my headphone ! -rrb- . negative : - fit : although these come with 5 different ear bud option , none of they fit comfortably in my ear . I try my bf 's beat by Dr. Dre -lrb- same brand -rrb- , so I know it be not just because I usually do not use in-ear style headphone . side note : the Dr Dre one fit much better because of the way they be design -- the ` sound ' part -lrb- the part that go in you ear -rrb- protrude much more than the Gaga one do , allow the earphone to sit further in you ear ! - fit2 : relate to the above issue , because I could not get the earbud to stay in my ear due to a combination of 1 . uncomfortable fit -lrb- partly due to the shape -- and I try troubleshoot base on a bunch of review on here -rrb- and 2 . the design 's weight . the design be so heavy that unless the ` fit ' in the ear be perfect , the earbud will tend to fall out . they would stay in just fine and provide great noise-reduction when I be sit still , but even tilt my head to the side would start to loosen the fit . walk be out of the question -lrb- I would have to push they back every 3-4 step -rrb- . - noise reduction be good -- but almost too good . I say this for two reason : 1 . outside with these earphone be a terrible idea -- even with music really low , you could barely hear car . not a issue for other depend on where they live\/what they want to use these for . 2 . the chord dangle around , even when you clip they in place , would be audible . I be not sure how else to describe it , but basically since the sound reduction be so good , you could hear the vibration cause by the chord move around . overall , if you want a great set of earphone to listen to music from in a setting like study in noisy cafe , etc , these would be perfect ! for I , they just be not versatile enough -- or comfortable : -lrb- +877 Headphone POS 5 I can not imagine a better sound from my mp3 player , at any price . and these be practically free ! I 'll report back if there be durability issue ... +650 Headphone POS 5 if you be look for a reasonable set of ear bud to go with you new mp3 investment , the v-moda bass freq 's be a good choice . I own sennheiser headphone of various model and have always like the way they sound and still do . my favorite be the cx-300 , which be what I want to compare the vmoda 's to , as they be closest in price and performance . let I say first and foremost that the cx-300 's sound brighter , the treble sound crisper , and overall sound a tad more precise than the v-moda do . however , in the bass and midrange the vmoda , be incredible ! nice warm high and mind numbing bass . if you listen to metal , rock , hip hop , or pop , the bass freq 's be fun as hell to listen to . if you like classical , piano , and the other mention genre , the senn may suit you need a little better . neither of these be audiophile earbud , and could not be at there price range , so if you be a stickler for perfection , look elsewhere . for the other 97 % of we that want good sound quality , and want something that give those goosebump , when we hear that certain beat . either of these make a great choice . neither lack in the bass department , but the vmoda never distort at the lowest frequency . the senn 's do on occassion . you can actually make the vmoda sound crisper with a slight adjustment of the e.q. in you player and both of these phone sound similar . it be all just a matter of preference , but you can not go wrong with either set . as far as reliablity go , I can see the senn outlast the vmoda as the senn look a little sturdier than the v 's do . only time will tell and I will update if something happen . I like the fact the v 's come with a silicone wrap to neaten thing up , but a case would have be even better . they both fit nicely in my ear and come with different size silicone , for different size ear . to sum it all up ... if you be look for a decent earbud look no further than either of these 2 set . if you be a bass junkie , go for the vmoda . if you want overall good sound go for either one . at $ 25 , they be both a steal and you will not be disappoint at all . Trust I , I have try everything and I just think pay hundred for headphone 's be insane . unless of course you be a audio purist , than by all means . do what you gotta do . +336 Headphone POS 5 the really great thing about these headphone be that they be true to the sound . because heavy bass be not only popular , but difficult for headphone and speaker to handle , it seem a lot of manufacturer be put more effort into make they product able to handle heavy bass . unfortunately , this often result in the result sound be heavily skewed toward the low end . these phone hold they own against airy violin and crunching bass . I have they hooked to a pair of Harman\/Kardon speaker through my pc and the sound be far better than my home stereo . +112 Headphone POS 5 love the stylish look , but most importantly the sound quality be the best I have ever herd from a headphone , the bass sound great and the high range be perfect . thanks V-Moda A happy DJ +496 Headphone NEU 3 im not satisfied , this be low on bass , but ok for the price +186 Headphone POS 4 I have recently buy these headphone because of the great bass people have be talk about . yes , the bass be incredible , so I have turn up the music to feel the bass . the only problem be that everyone within 3 foot of I could hear the music I be listen to . maybe it be because I be not use to these clip-on style of headphone because I have the plug in kind earlier . also , the style of these headphone be not the best . my friend have ridicule I of how ridiculous I have look . other then the loud stereo like music and the style of these headphone , these headphone be great for the price . you might want to consider the ear-plug style of this company . +804 Headphone POS 5 the good : absolutely amazing sound quality that outweigh all problem , extremely comfortable the Bad : typical drawback of open headphone , not very portable , mess up you hair I get these headphone while look to upgrade from some much cheaper folding one . my neighbor have a pair of they , and after try they out I order my own a day later . so far , I have be nothing but amaze by they . before these I be use to listen on my $ 10 headphone ; they absolutely blow I away and show I what I be miss in my music . obviously the main selling point of the hd-555 be sound quality . these phone be at or near audiophile quality and reproduce any kind of music excellently . they do not have ton of bass like some headphone , but be use to much cheaper headphone it be plenty for I . the first time I try they I be blow away by how amazing my music suddenly sound ; the quality be definitely worth the price . they also apparently use special technology to provide excellent directional sound , which let they basically act like wearable surround sound , good for gaming . it sound like whatever you be listen to be come from all around you ear , not just on top of they . the other big plus be comfort . I wish I could wear these all the time and never take they off ; it be easy to forget they be even on you head . the ear pad fit on you head perfectly -lrb- assume you do not have huge ear -rrb- and there be a extra pad on the headband , so it be basically like wear a pillow . they do not clamp on you head uncomfortably or get hot , either ; it be no problem at all wear they for hour at a time . the open design mean that when not play music , you can hear everything around you while wear they . one purely superficial note : at least for I , they leave indentation in you hair where the pad be . the open design of these headphone , responsible for the amazing sound quality , could also be a drawback for some . for those unfamiliar with headphone terminology , open headphone mean that sound get in and sound get out . they block approximately zero sound , so if there be a lot of background noise it will interfere with you listening . additionally people around you will be able to -lrb- faintly -rrb- hear what you be listen to even at normal listen volume , so depend on you music taste you may want to stick with listen alone . I can usually listen on they around other without a problem , but be aware of the limitation of open headphone . the cord be quite long -lrb- 3 meter or so -rrb- , so you can sit pretty far from the audio source , perfect for movie or video game . it terminate in a 1\/4 '' -lrb- big -rrb- plug and come with a adapter to the standard 1\/8 '' size . this mean that the plug be rather big and cumbersome , though , which can be inconvenient for listen on a ipod . before these headphone I do not concern myself much with music quality , since on my $ 10 phone I could not hear the difference anyway . I do not own many cd at all , but after get the hd-555 I go and buy some of my favorite album on CD so I could re-rip they at 256 kbp . most of my music be 128 kbp , and these headphone be not quite nice enough to make they sound awful by comparison . how you 'll use these phone be very important if you be think of buy they . they be ideal for home listening , movie-watching , or gaming , especially by yourself . if you 'll be use headphone with background noise , other people around -lrb- who do not share you music taste -rrb- , or a portable device , you might want to consider some closed headphone instead -lrb- such as Sennheiser 's 200 line -rrb- . for they intended purpose , though , these headphone be absolutely worth the cost and a great buy for anyone that enjoy music . +575 Headphone POS 5 I hear stuff on these that I never even know exist on my cd . when I play guitar through they , I actually hear the pick touch the string before the note be pluck -lrb- that be a good thing -rrb- . the padding match the sound quality , too . they have heavenly soft padding that be so comfortable , I can -lrb- and do -rrb- wear they for hour without even notice they be on . unlike some other brand , these have padding on the crown as well as ear . all the padding be extraordinarily thick and plush ... and easily removable\/replaceable -lrb- the fact it be market as replacable tell you something about the build quality\/expected lifespan of the phone -rrb- one reviewer complain he can not make these fit , but , the fact be , these have comparitively high adjustability -lrb- that guy probably have some huge alien cranium ... with a teeny , tiny little brain -rrb- . each side have 4 adjustment parameter - one of which allow the earcup to lay completely flat so dust do not fall in they ! this exceptional design also allow the phone to collapse within the crown for a minimal storage size . ... also , contrary to a earlier reviewer , play music through my laptop have never give I any buzz -lrb- what do he want ... a big fat 75 ohm coaxial cable ? unnecessary . -rrb- they supposedly have a high isolation rating , but it be not like no sound get through ... as a matter of fact some external frequency be enhance . finally , it sport a 1\/8 '' stereo plug with a 1\/4 '' screw-on attachment stereo plug ... all gold plate !!! I have have mine for over 3 year -lrb- use they everyday -rrb- and be more than satisfied . Worth every penny ... and then some . +64 Headphone POS 4 sound quality very good , noise isolation slighty better than original . they stay in place much better . +17 Headphone POS 5 well I admit it , I be a base-head who like a healthy volume too . I try several Sennheiser and Koss product and they be ... well ok . I even try the super expensive ety 's -lrb- 4p 's -rrb- and while the sound be good with the Ety 's they be very uncomfortable in the ear after 20 minute and the `` microphonic '' effect be a bit much . however , the Sony 71 's insert very smoothly , feel comfortable for hour and stay put ! . they sound incredible with a luscious deep bottom end that you feel . high be crisp and mid-range be smooth as well . they be also 16 ohm in impedance so they be remarkably efficeint and do not require a lot of power to drive to good volume . so many portable headphone be 32 Ohm and even higher and thus require a lot more power to drive to decent level , which result in faster battery drain . one earbud cord be intentionally longer than the other to allow you to run the cord behind the head -lrb- if you want -rrb- and drape straight down to the side you be wear you portable unit . `` same-length '' earbud cord result in the main cord have to run awkwardkly `` across '' you body . a very nice innovative touch from Sony ! give these a try folk . the Amazon price `` be '' one of the lowest out there ! I be order a second back-up pair ! +630 Headphone POS 4 I get this headphone about 1month ago . just 99 $ , it be a good deal , but it doesnt work good with mp3 player or ipod , you need a headamp for this headphone . when i use with home theater system , it easy to drive this headphone . this headphone make treble so good , mid be ok , and bass be very strong . THIS be a good deal for 99 $ , but you need a headamp to drive it +40 Headphone POS 5 the combination of earhook and in ear piece be a perfect fit for my husband . he love the great sound and secure placement . +311 Headphone POS 5 okay , I be a earbud geek . I own higher-end product from Ety , Shure , Ultimate Ears and even Senn in the bud category . always on the lookout for a good efficient earbud that do not absolutely require a separate headphone amp for decent sound . the ie7 from Senn sound pretty good plug directly into my iPhone 4 . at home I do not have those limitation . I use the hd650 with they original cable -- I know there be some mighty fine upgrade out there but have not try they . this cable run nicely from the side table where the phone and amp live to my inherit Eames chair . Heaven . 3 year ago , I build my own SET tube amp , impedance match and bias adjust specifically for the hd650 . I have have these phone for go on 9 year now and they have never sound better . for a long time I be run they with a Creek amp and that setup by the way sound very , very good . if you have these and a Creek obh-11 you have better sound than 99.9 % of human . be happy . I be , but my trusty Creek get lose in a move . never be satisfy , I begin my search for something that cost less yet sound way better than the Creek . at this point you be in DIY territory . if you be good with electronics , can read a schematic and can do a professional solder joint , then you too can learn enough to build a great sound headphone amplifier . Mine cost I about 65 buck in part and a bit more than that in good audiophile quality tube . it run very hot , and it make the bass just jump off the hd650 . there be very good solid state headphone amp for the 650 , and musical Fidelity make a great tubed output stage that will take the edge off a lot of solid state preamp . so you can get wonderful enjoyment out of this set of can even with a solid state amp section . but the hd650 be flat out make to be drive by tube . you have never hear something so balanced , smooth , non-fatiguing and yet with authority up and down the spectrum come through something attach to you head -lrb- unless you have pay substantially more -rrb- . I lose my Creek amp , spend a few week source plan and part , get a buddy to help I cut , smooth , weld , powdercoat and drill my chassis , then spend a couple of night put everything together , switch resistor and pot to balance the sound , adjust bias and set up for the high end of the hd650 's rate input voltage , clean the silver contact , and set up . since then I have burn out a tube and replace the pair with a different-sounding pair . not much , but definitely more treble without sacrifice that sweet smoothness that be tube gear 's utter lack of odd-order harmonic distortion . when you clip this thing it still sound nice . it be hard to clip at anything like tolerable listening level , but there be some Floyd track that make any amp\/speaker combo nut , and also some hi-fi organ recording that will put you gear into shutdown if you try to play they at actual volume level . in situation like that , the 650 have be pretty well-behaved since switch to tube . with solid state amplification you feel like you might break they if you do not immediately cut the volume under some circumstance , but this setup give I more volume with less stress on the can . I have reach my own peak of happiness with these headphone . I know there be even higher mountain out there to climb , but I have no desire to even try . the hd650 be a stone cold bargain in headphone consider the sound it can deliver . I listen to a lot of choir and small combo jazz on these , as well as my sister and brother-in-law 's piano recording -lrb- they be both work concert pianist as well as music educator -rrb- . so once in a while I get a new piano piece on a sd card in the mail -- the past couple year it have be mostly Ravel so I guess I be learn to like Ravel . brother-in-law always convert live to Apple Lossless use the good mic and generally good acoustic and electronics in the university 's recital hall . musician can be picky about they record sound . iTunes spit it out to the iPod Nano which have surprisingly good sound use a Russ Andrews interconnect -lrb- inexpensive and highly recommend for good sound breakout from Apple product -rrb- . the iPhone sound fine as well , but I think the Nano sound better . the look of this setup be just fantastic as well . iphone\/ipod with its up-to-the-minute tech and styling , hook up to my homebuilt tube amp , design to evoke in miniature the great Marantz tube amp of the past . with a gorgeous pair of hd650 next to it . the one thing I would like be a nice charge dock like the one Arcam make with a remote . the Russ Andrews cable be plenty long enough to not need a remote -- I can just hold the device in my hand and operate it without get up , and the Arcam dock will not sound any better . but the cable still will not charge the device . the bottom line of all this gear-bragging , the reason why I go into such detail about the setup I use , be this : all of it be design around my sennheiser hd650 phone . they be the basis for all the effort I put into the rest of it -lrb- okay , that and save significant money over just about any decent retail headphone amp -rrb- . I should get one of those little `` Works with iPhone '' sticker and put it on my tube amp . if the hd650 ever break , I will probably buy another one just like it , unless somebody can show I a less expensive option that sound better -- which I doubt . one of the great bargain in high fidelity . if you want great sound and can not afford thousand of dollar in amp and speaker , you can get great sound -- privately -- with these can and a minor investment in a good tubed headphone amp or even a good solid state one . when I buy these , you could get they all day long for $ 350 and I get they on sale at $ 290 . you do not see those price today . I figure I be into my current setup -- ipod interconnect , amp and headphone -- for under $ 500 . you will pay more today , but there be simply no cheaper way to get this kind of great sound . period . +378 Headphone NEU 3 the headphone pinch my ear and tend to fall of easily I have have to go back to my old headphone after only a hour or two of use . on the bright side , any set of headphone can plug into the wireless transmitter . otherwise work good . +780 Headphone POS 5 if I have to describe these headphone in one word it would be `` impeccable '' . you would be hard press to find a more comfortable pair of headphone with this kind of extraordinary sound quality for anything short of $ 500 . if that be not a testament to the value of these headphone , then I do not know what be . I could go on about how you should use a dedicated amplifier , how the sound be lively and exciting without be overpowering and that you low bit-rate mp3 and aac file will not do these headphone justice , but I 'll leave that to the expert who have already post incredibly detail and thoughtful review . point being , the sound will only be as good as you source file and choice of amplifier to drive they . unless denon release new model or the price of the ah-d5000 or the ah-d7000 model drop significantly , I would recommend these headphone to anyone shopping for a closed-back design with a modest budget . +266 Headphone POS 5 I have a hard time with headphone . these be great - there be a plethora of option for the ear bud portion and the over the ear part be mold-able ensure that they stay on you ear regardless of the shape and activity . if only they be waterproof . +269 Headphone POS 4 I have find this item hard to find in store and when I do it be more expensive . I use my headphone at work so I be always pull on the cord . I find this item to be a good quality item for it be price range . the sound be good and clear . it keep out allot of outside noise . I have be use these headphone for year now and recommend they especially if you tend to be rough with they and do not want to spend allot of money . +447 Headphone POS 5 these be the best mobile headphone I have ever use . not because of sound quality -lrb- which be excellent -rrb- , but because of fit , price , comfort , lightweight , durability and how it stick to my head even when run . not jogging - sprint - as in to catch airplane and bus . Mine break the other day after 3 long year of faithful service . if I do not turn around fast and crush it against my desk while it be fold up in my pocket , it would probably last another 3 year . it sound great with no buzz -lrb- even at high volume -rrb- right up until I break it . the cord 's length be perfect , I keep my mp3-loaded pocketpc in my left front pants pocket . it be long enough but not too long , and never catch on anything . as for the phone themselves , they go far enough into the ear to properly point the speaker forward , not merely inward like those annoyingly uncomfortable little bud thing do -lrb- how they justify the price for those thing , I 'll never know -rrb- . as for allow outside noise through , they do if you have they turn down low , but I can not tell what people be say when listen to stuff at `` normal '' volume . in other word , they be just as good as ear bud without the annoying lack of comfort or ability to keep from fall out . they do let loud sound in , however , which can disrupt what you be hear . for example , loud vehicle like bus drive past you at a bus stop will completely drown out what you be listen to . small price to pay for the thing stick to you head like glue in great comfort for hour on end . sound quality be great . the larger speaker provide for a very well-rounded sound , not just treble and bass like most ear bud . Perfect for anything from music to talk radio . the foldable design be a feature of importance to I because I be a long distance commuter by bus and ferry boat -lrb- 4 hour a day -rrb- . Compact , portable and lightweight be very important to I , even more important than sound quality . fortunately , I do not have to sacrifice a bit of sound quality by use these over bud . these headphone give great sound , be comfortable , be lightweight , stick to you head even when run , and they be very compact and portable . and for 10 measly buck ! you can have those over-rated , expensive bud and all the discomfort and `` fallout '' that go with they . do I mention I be here on this web site right now to buy two more pair of these ? +343 Headphone POS 4 these headphone and other -lrb- in some different color , and design -rrb- can be find at you local dollar store . that a savings of 88 cent . so get and up go there ! +525 Headphone POS 5 I use they to play with the xbox 360 and they work very well . the surround effect work great give you the front rear separation in the game . and for 13 buck they be a bargain . I be no expert and I suppose that there be headphone that give you the best quality surround sound but for play at night and do not wake everybody in the house they work great . I do not see the point of give you the rechargeable battery option since one will probably have they plug in next to the xbox , tv , dvd , etc. . +818 Headphone POS 5 this be a great little set of headphone . they be light weight and easy to wear . I listen to book with they day after day and have never have a problem . +827 Headphone POS 4 great value , my only complaint be that I just do not get the lopsided cable configuration but not a big deal . +817 Headphone POS 5 the blue band be a nice silicone material . these be super lightweight , too ! if you have a tendency to nap with headphone , turn you head such that you ear rest on a pillow be not painful like most `` can '' , but almost unnoticeable . the 15 -25 khz response , and inline volume slider re great attribute . +375 Headphone POS 5 come from a pair of Sennheiser HD280s and hear the beautiful detail and soundstage of a family member 's Audio Technica ath-ad700 I be amaze and want that kind of soundstage and detail with more oomph -lrb- basshead -rrb- . I go on the hunt for something that could deliver that kind of sound with the oomph that the ad700 lack . listen to a variety of music the ahd2000 deliver on every bit of my expectation . I drive they through a Fiio e7 usb dac and love everything about the sound that come through they . there seem to be no low note that these can not hit . Bass heavy electronic music like Bassnectar , excision , Koan Sound , Evol Intent , and Trentemoller be ultimately satisfy . every nuance of Joe Satriani come through wide and well separate . every touch of the pick , slide of the finger , and slap of the hand be audible in Trace Bundy . Melody Gardot 's voice be something to behold . endless clear bass , big soundstage , excellent mid and high -- I feel like these be a combination of the Audio Technica ath-ad700 and Audio Technica ath-m50 ... plus some . on top of the -lrb- what I feel be lovely -rrb- sound there be lot of other good point : they look great in my opinion and pick they up you can feel the quality material in they construction . the cable be ultra high quality and long . they be immensely comfortable . close to even the ath-ad700 . most other headphone feel uncomfortable after wear these . I really can not recommend these enough . for a do it all headphone -lrb- really , I can not find music they sound bad with -rrb- especially for basshead I think this be the way to go . +853 Headphone POS 5 Wheeeeee . have be enjoy the v80 since two week . love they , love they !!! so happy they finally arrive and be able to try they out . the senn hd 598 be my first decent over ear headphone and I think they be the best until I get the v - moda . I do not know what exactly cause the great sound -lrb- the dual driver maybe ? -rrb- because otherwise it kind of go against logic -lrb- cause the senn have bigger driver -rrb- but the v-moda 's sound clearer to I : s. I also have the akg k 701 for at home and yeah , those be more analytic\/detailed and be also very dreamworthy still , but the bass on the v-moda kick they ass any day . and when I compare all three , the senn somehow lose badly , it sound the loudest\/muddiest and bassiest -lrb- but in the bad way -rrb- of all . before I have the means to compare , it be not that obvious !! I think the 598 be the cat 's ass . anyway , the v moda be the ultimate portable solution , even though they be on ear they do get comfy after a while after adjust to you ears\/head a bit , I be surprised -lrb- have a not fully heal industrial pierce on the right I be fear the clamp -rrb- , but I be very happy with that , I do feel it , but it be not really a pain in the ass . in conclusion : the headphone sound great , even better than I expect after read all the review . no tinny cavern sound as I read somewhere but a big ! clear moderately bassy sound , and the treble be not very pronounced but I like that , since modest treble be less fatiguing\/head-ache induce . as for the look : I must say the fact that they do not look huge and be very very pretty + true blood edition -lrb- oh yes yes -rrb- also be reason to buy . when they arrive somehow the look dissappoint I though , but only a bit , because the picture build up impossible expectation haha and I think it have something to do with the chord be a bit flimsy -lrb- in comparison to big headphone - not to other portable -rrb- and the gray black not fitting the red of the v 80 completely . still , I have get over it . they somehow look very steampunk\/similar to advanced technological artefact from the past . they be very beautiful in they own punk way though and fit small head . anyway : aesthetics : subjective and de gustibus ... I do like they a lot , the earcup be ideal , the headband maybe could still improve as far as look be consider , comfort be ok . as for the customize : I would love to , but very impractical since buying\/sending from USA to EU mostly give grief . Customs tend to keep stuff + extra shipping cost . any belgian ppl here order custom shield ? I would love to hear if it go well or not ? oh , also why do not the eternal life warranty include the EU ? : -lrb- . so sad . anyway . if the m-100 will sound even greater , consider another body turn . I also hope that the v-moda will hit the european market in retail shop too ... will they be available in Europe ?? so we can look and try it out maybe instead of have to rely on internet buying ? I would do it either way , but my preference go to be able to try it out ! Afterthought : no burning in effect imo . second afterthought : venus vidi vici be total win . Latin -lrb- 3 . +327 Headphone POS 5 this be my very first pair of over-20-bucks-headphone . I be very impressed with the sound quality , it be really great . the price be totally worth it . the case be big enough even to carry my zune , the headphone sound great , loud and clear in every single note . I listen to a lot of soundtrack and trailer music that be mostly orchestral or simply instrumental with very rich sound and i have make sure to challenge this earphone to the max . they have not fail . very happy so far . +535 Headphone POS 4 these headphone have good noise cancelation and sound , but the thin padding on the actual earphone make my ear hurt after a hour or so . I do not have any problem with the folding design and weight of the headphone , like many other reviewer appear to have . if you want good noise cancelation for a affordable price , get these ! to make they more comfortable , simply cut out two earphone-shaped piece of foam or other soft material , take off the muff , put the foam in they , and put the muff back on . after this modification , the headphone do not hurt my ear . +603 Headphone NEG 1 these headphone sound so great for the price and that be why I be so bummed to have to send they back for the 3rd time . I have have 3 pair break on I now and I be tempt to ask for a replacement instead of a refund again because I love the way they sound so much . they customer service be great too by the way . suck that the headphone quality be so lack . +988 Headphone POS 4 I have have this item for almost 5 month and have have no major cause of wear and tear . it be work perfectly . pro : it be a very useful device for iPhone\/MacBook 's most recent generation . it do exactly what a normal iPhone headphone do , but with the add benefit of use it on any headphone . con : I replace my iPhone with a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and it do not work on the phone . it be really disappointing , but that be the difference between how Samsung and Apple make they headphone jack . +287 Headphone NEG 1 these bud do not flex at all & be way too big for my average size ear . the sound be okay for the price , but they hurt to use !! +649 Headphone POS 5 I really like these headphone , they fit in my ear perfectly . I just buy my second pair of they because the first one do break after a year but for the price it be well worth it . the sound quality be great and you can get like 10 for the price of some of the expensive headphone . +599 Headphone POS 5 I enjoy listen to hi-fi audio through headphone . my setup be laptop use JetAudio -- -rrb- Predator DAC\/AMP -- -rrb- d5000 . the can be great ! superb detail and honest to music reproduction w that wow factor . Bass seem heavy but I like it . I be burn they in now . I own d2000 and audio-technica 990-ti 's and each have they home but I listen mostly to the d5000 's now . +265 Headphone NEU 3 I buy these to replace my original ipod earbud which we new puppy chew up . I be not a sound fidelity fanatic but I do think the jbud provide better sound quality than the ipod earbud but ... I , personally , have real problem with the jbud because the simply will not stay in my ear . it be probably some strange genetic issue relate to the shape of my ear but the Apple earbud seem to `` hook '' into my ear and just stay there . the jbud 's seem to be attempt some sort of friction fit with the soft rubber but , for I , it do not work . they just keep fall out . obviously , you ear may not be as weird and strange look as mine and these beast will stay in for you no problem . : -rrb- +252 Headphone NEG 1 purchase two of these for wife and myself . Mine for use with iphone4 and wife 's for iPad . Niether will stay extend , they snap back to store position . way too short unless you be to carry iPhone \/ iPad in you shirt pocket . LOL impossible to use when they snap back to stow position , they sound fine if you want to manually keep they extend and chance lose a eye on snap back . +570 Headphone POS 5 I receive these as a gift . I believe that they retail for 50 $ -lrb- less on line here -rrb- . I do not understand why most people hate these so much . sound quality be great for something this inexpensive . the reception do fade sometimes but , so what ?!? they be on you head ! how hard can it be to retune they ? since they be a 900mgz product I would imagine that they will not work well if you cordless phone also work on 900mhz -lrb- unless of course you want to easedrop on someone -rrb- . they be fairly comfortable I like that they be `` right on top of you ear '' . would be nice if they where adjustable headband . the only `` issue '' that one might have be the fact that they do not have a lot of bass Spec be 40hz and the high end only go to 16 khz . high do get somewhat `` hissy '' . but I doubt that you could beat they for the money . +139 Headphone NEG 2 I have high expectation for these earbud , but to be honest , I get better sound with my stock ipod earbud equip with Griffin Earjams . the sound on the Sennheiser bud be tinny with almost no bass , unless you jam the bud so far into you ear canal that it be about touch you brain . also they have asymmetric cord length , so the right cord be much longer than the left one . it be weird if you be use to the standard setup with both side the same length . +554 Headphone POS 4 the quality on these headphone be really good , they really bring out the bass which be a huge plus for I -lrb- especially come from use apple earbud -rrb- . they be also very durable , the ear cup ar not make of plastic , but a metal that make they feel like they be not brake any time soon . my only complaint be that they get uncomfortable after wear they for a extended period of time . other than that , I would recommend these , they be great headphone for the money and I have be please with they since I get they . +395 Headphone POS 5 Ideal headphone for everyday use . good base , good high , comfortable around-the-ear cup I can wear for hour , work well with my lousy laptop sound card -- wonderful sound with my iPhone and sound system , wind-and-lock cord fob let I adjust to exactly the length I want . at $ 23 you will not find better sound , and I try several $ 50 + model before discover this one . +695 Headphone POS 5 they fit well and be easy to use . my son be just over two year old and can put they on himself . he resist wear they at first but the one time we take a long trip and he have gladly wear they to watch a dvd in the car . I also like that there be volume control on the cord . +580 Headphone POS 5 down below be my original review for this product but like many of the review post here my headphone crack just a month after very carefull use and I mean very carefull luckly I have one day leave to return they , that be a real shame I really like this product hopefully they will fix it if they would guarantee I that they fix it I would definatelly buy they again . `` this headphone be way better than I have expect . the sound be just great kind of bulky but still very good , I have have they for a week now and I be just very satisfied , I hope that they do not brake like some other people have complaint about , I connect my smt 56oo and they sound great . if you be look for headphone for casual listen to music look no more . if you happen to own that particular phone I recomend buy `` my lyric magic '' player for smartphone , be a fantastic software that will make you music sound like heaven . definately a great buy , one thing though , they might be a little too big for the average woman . people must take into account the sound quality greatly depend on what kind of fit they get from the heaphone , if they be too big for they head there will not be a lot of tension , therefore the quality of music greatly diminihs . so dont ' complain of the sound quality if they do not really get a good fit . another thing this heaphone will turn head , I do not know whether its because they kind of look like some headphone that Darth vader would use but people do notice they , if you be not bother by that then you should be ok . they be definately worth a try . '' +301 Headphone POS 4 I need to replace my Sony noise-cancelling 's , but finances be go other direction . get a ad from Amazon and decide to spring for the j3 's from jlab . price be great -lrb- on sale -rrb- and the sound be good . not as much bass , but I have not break they in good yet either . anyway I be very pleased with my purchase and time will tell if they hold up . there be also a great case include that will likely continue to carry my bud even after I wear these out -lrb- or maybe if they hold up I 'll be pass this along since I 'll get a new one -rrb- . you could do worse and spend a lot more money than I have invest in jbud , j3 Micro atomic in-ear earphone . +474 Headphone POS 4 cant beat this . overall good headphone for the money . sound quality be ok and isolation from the outside world be ok as well . everyone can hear only if turn up on the loud side but over all this be a good product . +21 Headphone POS 4 im very satisfied i woul buy 30 more if i need it sound awesome , I watc mivy on my computer and im like in the movie its really good i recomend it buuy it with confident +602 Headphone NEG 2 R.I.P. March 29th 2012 . I love Sennheiser and they sound quality but I be utterly disappoint after six month . the build quality of these headphone be cheap especially the wiring . I take great care of my earphone and it even have a case . I still have my iPod Video Class 60 gb in perfectly work condition . I be a audiophile where I will sacrifice eat out for a good set of headphone because I do not like to compromise when it come to quality to my ear . I be very meticulous when I finish use they and wrap they in a certain manner to avoid they be tangle . warranty 2 year but do not get you hope , it will not get you anywhere . my brother have recommend I to switch to Klipsch IMAGE S4 In-Ear enhance Bass Noise-Isolating Headphones -lrb- Black -rrb- Let 's see how do they fair in a couple of week . +563 Headphone NEU 3 this earphone be so big , it be not funny , we have decide just to use it on the pc because it really have good clear audio guality , but i would not buy it if i be need something to walk around in . +729 Headphone NEG 2 I buy these think they would be a upgrade earbud set for work out and activity that be not comfortable with my real headphone -lrb- sennheiser can -rrb- . I be not expect audiophile quality , but I be expect a upgrade from the zune earbud , or at least the 3 dollar coby set that I get from fry to thrash around . I be convince that the driver in these meelectronic phone be no better than those in my garbage coby earbud . this would be fine if the cost be similar . but its not , and I feel I have pay a steeper price for the little case and accessory that I do not care about and be gipp on sound quality . the meelectronic phone be way too heavy on the treble , and light on the bass and lower mid response . they seriously sound like tweeter and the response be disturbingly unbalanced and very metallic in the upper range . they sound worse than the bud that come with my zune . with earbud like these , the sound be very dependent on the seal and position in you ear . know this , it be possible that the shape of my ear may be prevent a good seal and thus kill some of the low frequency response . I notice when I push in on the bud it seal better and the low end response improve , but the response still sound mile from flat . you result may vary from mine but I be write this to warn those who know the difference between a reasonably flat response with some character , and one that be lopsided enough to ruin the listen experience . the bud come nicely package with a bunch of extra seal . I must admit that I do not spend much time try the seal out as I be just so disappointed with the overall sound that I be get from these . needless to say , I have use these 2 time and would undo this purchase if I could . I would say these be worth about 6 or 7 bux , and I would still avoid they . I will have to find something else . I would never recommend these to anybody as I be sure there must be bettter alternative in the price range . +258 Headphone POS 5 i buy these because i own a pair many moon ago and lose they . with my purchase of a new ipod , i know exactly what earplug i need to buy ! they be amazingly comfortable -lrb- unlike the original ipod one ! -rrb- and cheap ! you can not find a better price for these , i check . highly recommend ! +172 Headphone NEG 2 I have to turn these thing forward at a 45 degree angle from how they be picture to make they hold on to my ear . otherwise the bud do not even rest in place . the audio quality seem fine . before I use they regularly , I just have to decide whether I feel ridiculous go out in public with these thing \* look \* like they be fall out , as it be the only way to actually keep they from do so . +503 Headphone POS 5 I get these ksc-50 's to replace my aiwa hp-a091 's which break , as well as my panasonic headphone . I must say , these can ROCK !! -- comfort -- these thing be really nice . they have a spring in the connector to easily slip they on . once they be on , you 'll soon forget they . I have hear that these will not work for people with big ear . I have normal medium ear and they be a bit loose . the pad be thick -lrb- without go beyond reason -rrb- and be very soft and comfortable . the clip be also flexible . I personally would not use these for exercise . they be a bit loose , and I think they would fall off . it be better to get something more secure like the Labtec curve-495 's . -- sound -- well , these thing be unbelieveable when it come to sound . literally , I can not believe they be under 20 buck . even though the speaker itself be farther away from you head than most headphone , they be still loud and proud . they literally require less volume from the device or computer and put out a lot of sound . in addition to the high and mid be very clear , these can have booming bass . the bass in these headphone be almost excessive , so I can not imagine what the closer fitting ksc-35 's be like . even thouugh the bass be loud , the range be still very low , and be still as clear as the rest of the range . if you be look for inexpensive headphone that do not just get the job do , these be the one for you . you will not be return they . if they be right for exercise and you size ear be up to you . this be a edit to my review : unfortunately , I take these to school today in my pocket in my pants . I do not know how , but they get dent very easily . I will be return they . you might want to try somethign more durable for school environment , other than that they be still good for exercise . +516 Headphone NEG 2 pro : - around the head design prevent `` headphone hair '' . - okay for casual listen where volume level be low . con : - sound be below par , equivalent to cheapie headphone . distortion at moderate bass and volume level . - noise canceling be mostly non-existent . it drown out about 50 % of the hum of a loud computer fan . do not noise-cancel anything else . - the noise cancel `` stick '' be huge . it measure 5 `` x0 .75 '' -lrb- lxw -rrb- . - the ear hook start to irritate after prolonged use . comment : if you be look for quality sound and noise canceling , move along , these headphone be not for you . they be okay for casual , at the office-type , low-volume , without the worry of headphone hair listen . +758 Headphone POS 4 I have be look for small ear bud that would be comfy in my small ear hole & these ` fit ' the bill . +574 Headphone NEG 2 the headphone work really well out of the box , with better sound quality than the earbud that come with the iphone . however , I experience malfunction of the volume control after a indoor run on the treadmill -lrb- 10k -rrb- ; perhaps some moisture get into the wiring ? after dry , it again become functional . a rather unexpected problem , since one of the tout quality be water resistance . outdoor running do not seem to cause the same problem . it happen again after a shorter run -lrb- 5k -rrb- , again on the treadmill indoors . I guess the sweat get into the control stick and temporarily render it nonfunctional . overall , I get less than what I expect from a rather pricy headset . +230 Headphone POS 5 love these !! great sound for the price , and so far , THEY REALLY STAY PUT in your ear when running . . REALLY BLOCK the SOUND OUT SO USE CAUTION when running\/walking in HIGH traffic area +913 Headphone POS 4 this be a good product for the price offer . although many people do not use these type of headphone anymore , I believe this be a good choice for use at home . I tend to have problem with the earbud be too big or constantly fall out , but these headphone be good to go when you hood they on you head ! +843 Headphone POS 5 I have a pair of portapro 's a few year ago but they sadly die and I try to replace they with sony 's , jvc 's , etc - all in the same price range . none could compare , I have to buy another pair . these phone sound amazing , be comfortable , and stay on while jogging . highly recommend ! +519 Headphone NEG 1 the headphone have great sound but the internal bracket that slide to adjust to size crack with just regular use and break within a month of buy the product new ... we have another skullcandy headphone that have be fine for month ... not sure if this be a problem of this model or we just get a faulty pair ... but it stink ... +13 Headphone POS 5 it be so nice to listen to the song I like when I be on the computer and the T.V. be on next to I and I can not hear it . +750 Headphone POS 4 these headphone sound amazing for the price , way better than I expect they to . for 13 buck they be a steal . my only complaint be that they do not fit my ear well . I have average size ear , maybe even a little on the small side but for some reason they just do not fit right . my left ear feel pinch ... however it do not bother I enough for I to stop wear they . I use they w \/ my creative mp3 player and they sound a lot better than the earbud it come with . I like the volume control on the wire . overall these be great headphone , especially for the price . +319 Headphone POS 5 denon ahd2000 head phone feel comfortable and sound excellent , but be not the most durably construct . i bring mine to work with I to listen to mp3 's . during transportation of the headset inside of my small gallon size bag the swivel screw bent and break leave one ear piece dangle . use a zip tie loop around the swivel screw joint and tilt bracket i tie it back together . month later now i be still enjoy the superb sound . +88 Headphone POS 5 I can not begin to express how satisfied I be with these headphone . since I do not like to write , I 'll keep the review brief : 1 . the headphone sound fantastic ! 2 . I can run in they and they do not fall out ! amazing ! 3 . I accidentally put they in the wash machine and dryer . believe it or not ... they still work -lrb- and they smell nice too -rrb- !!! 4 . buy these . +950 Headphone NEG 1 I order these to check they out and see if they be any good . my old skull candy bud be start to short out in one ear and I know they would be go in a short time . I get these in the mail and my other one die the same day . I plug these in and they be all ready short out like my previous one be when I order these for a replacement . they also do not come with extra sizes\/sets of the silicone bud so they be one size fit all and they be kind of uncomfortable . I be not expect stellar headphone but I be expect they would not be break when I get they . I guess I will have to pay a few extra dollar to get headphone that last I for several month not week . too bad . +236 Headphone POS 4 they have good sound -- a bit too much bass for some genre -- but overall very good . I have have they about a year and listen w \/ they mostly at the gym . last week they crapped-out : a apparent short in the line cause they to only work on one channel now . very disappointed ! +902 Headphone POS 5 nice fit , retractable cord , good noise cancel but not great but for the price how can you complain . +919 Headphone POS 4 the headphone be great but for the amount of money I pay the quality be poor . I would think that the quality of the diddy beat should be top of the line . I purchase the headphone for my girlfriend as a gift for we vacation trip . the sound and bass be excellent , just a perfect headphone . during we trip two day later the talkcontrol stop work , it be a pain because my girlfriend would not stop complain about the talkcontrol troblem . I finally call after we trip and amazon customer service be great , they make it fast and easy to replace the headphone . still today she love the headphone . great headphone and amazon make the process easy and enjoyable to order . aa - +58 Headphone NEG 2 the sound quality of this product be wonderful but if I just put my head down to see what I be sew in my lap , it fall off . if I be cooking and I glance down , it fall off . this be ridiculous . do they not test these ? I would not buy this product again . what good be good sound quality if they be sit on the floor ? +748 Headphone POS 4 I first try a pair of Shure E1C earbud and hate they ; I think they make everything sound tinny . then I try the Sony and think exactly the same thing , and could not figure out why I get better sound out of the $ 10 pair of earbud I buy at the Sony Outlet . after a couple of subway and airplane ride , I finally figure out the whole thing : - fit be everything with deep-insertion ear instrument . earbud , hear protection , whatever . fit be everything . once I finally get they seat correctly , they isolate outside noise very well and sound clear , keep in mind that I be not expect the same visceral reaction to earbud that I have to my over-the-ear akg phone . - use CD quality source material for you first listen . I think it be the bud -lrb- both Shure and Sony -rrb- that be make my source sound tinny , and then I rip a cd of 128k mp3 and decide that I hate what the compression do to the music . I simply fail to pay attention before I start use a portable device . not to plug , but WMA format cure a lot of the compression problem to I . -lrb- Apple format also sound good on my friend 's ipod . -rrb- - would have like a inline volume control . I know that eat into fidelity , but whatever ; make a control with gold plate contact already . - the whole cord extension thing be a disaster . too short with , too long without . do not even get I start on the `` case . '' mostly , I like these earbud ; Sony certainly have other `` high resolution '' earbud but if you can get these around $ 30 , it be a decent choice . +341 Headphone NEG 2 I can not say enough bad thing about these if you be go to use they for run . they be make to go on you arm , so one cord be longer than the other . they have a connector half way down that come with a extender enable they to be longer and attach to to you waist , but this make the cord heavy thus pull they out of you ear . because the cord be rubber they also bounce a lot when run . I give they two star since they do come with multiple size piece that fit nicely into you ear . if you be go to sit still when use they they be great . if you be plan on use they actively keep look . +440 Headphone POS 4 reason you should buy this product - the use : 1 - the ear pad be in general pretty comfortable , however long duration of use may cause some discomfort . 2 - the folding aspect of the headphone work well , it may take some time to get use to , but it be somewhat intuitive . 3 - I be afraid the hinge design for the ear pad may not stand the test of time . the connection element be rather weak and I can see that through time , it will be the first thing to break . 4 - the overall finish for the ear pad and its adjacent plastic be acceptable , however , the # 4 finish on the stainless steel head band be a bit rough . the sound : 1 - the low frequency be very satisfactory consider how small the driver be , the bass be tight and balanced . 2 - the mid frequency be not rpxc 250 's strongest suit , so if you be very picky about voice and string music , this be not the one . 3 - the high frequency be in general pretty good . although slightly harsh when compare to my Grado 60 and akg 701 , it be generally acceptable as a travel headset . 4 - as a travel headset it combine smallness and lightness with a decent quality of sound . the Noise cancelling capacity : have compare the pxc250 to the Bose Quietcomfort 3 at a Apple store , I can attest the noise cancel aspect of the pxc work comparable to the bose product . +683 Headphone POS 5 these earbud be great . I have be look for a decent pair of earbud to use with my ipod while cut the grass . these do a excellent job of block out the mower noise without have to crank the volume up . +12 Headphone POS 5 a Panasonic headphone for $ 5 ? this be a very good headphone for the money . if you have Amazon Prime , the shipping be free and it be deliver to you in two day . it be usable even if you ipod touch -lrb- 2g and 3g -rrb- have a protective case on it . I like the 90-degree headphone plug that make it less likely to break . the headband be adjustable , and its bass performance be quite good , consider its price . +980 Headphone POS 5 I get these to use with my 80 gig i-pod while work out at the gym and while work around the house . the sound be fantastic , though a bit on the bass heavy side -lrb- not that I really mind - it be kind of a rare attribute for smaller headphone , in my experience -rrb- . so far , much of what I have be listen to be alternative and hardcore punk -lrb- which can have a lot of issue with sound quality , depend on the band and release -rrb- so I do not have any feedback on how they sound with the baroque\/classical side of my music collection as of yet . I have also notice that the battery on my i-pod last a long time drive these phone at moderate to higher volume . my sennheiser hd202 's - though they sound great on the i-pod , suck the life out of the battery fast . the single cord be great -lrb- though it be so skinny I worry a bit about break it in a rough environment if it snag on something as I walk past -rrb- , and since I keep my i-pod in my pocket while working\/working out , I actually prefer the straight plug to a angled plug - I do put a bit of heat shrink tube on the strain relief to extend and strengthen it since newer phone suck when it come to soldering on a new plug . heat carefully if you decide to do this so you do not melt the cord ! the phone look and feel great quality-wise , and although I love the folding design for storage , I feel a need to keep they in a drawer when not in use because accidentally sit on they or set something down on they look like it would break they . one other thing - I have a big head -lrb- resist the urge to exaggerate ! -rrb- and extended listening can hurt the ol' bean a bit at time . overall a fantastic set of headphone that I highly recommend purchase if you want a great-sounding alternative to those awful oe i-pod earphone . +732 Headphone POS 5 I be impressed with this little Nuforce HDP both as a dac and as a headphone amplifier ; which be high praise from someone who own a $ 15,000 headphone rig with stax sr-007 , sennheiser he60 and hd800 headphone , a Woo WES amp , Eddie Current ZDT amp , and PS Audio Perfectwave DAC . the hdp seem to offer a lot of performance in a small package , and easily outperform my original Nuforce Icon amp that I buy May 2008 for my computer desktop . and the beauty be that it be small enough that I can use the HDP 's superior dac to feed the original icon when I want to listen to speaker -lrb- both amp be the same size -rrb- . the feature list be quite full , include 24\/96 bit rate usb and 3.5 mm 24\/96 optical input , 24\/192 coax input , rca or 3.5 mm analog input , 1\/4 '' headphone output , and variable output level rca preamp out . not many dac in this price range offer 24 bit\/96 khz sampling rate , and even my 2x more costly Apogee mini-dac only do 24\/48 via usb . the hdp use 24\/96 usb input from my Macbook beat all my other $ 100 - $ 500 usb dac\/amps in the house , and even beat the headphone output of my Apogee mini-dac with usb . the HDP 's RCA line-out seem almost equivalent to the Apogee 's 1\/8 '' line-out as well , where the Apogee seem to be a little more refined sound at time -lrb- if use my upgrade Sigma 11 power supply -rrb- . the hdp be very detailed and transparent , with good sense of air and space , and offer a deeper soundstage than the Apogee headphone out . the HDP bass have great extension and impact , with rich mid and sparkly crisp treble . and it be just a little to the warm side of neutral , so I can still enjoy it with brighter headphone like my hd800 or head-direct he-5 . likewise it be also a good match for my hd600 headphone and my re-cabled Denon d7000 which can sound darker on the wrong amp . some amplifier that be good with full-size headphone may not be a good match with very sensitive in ear monitor -lrb- aka earphones or IEM -rrb- , and they might have noise , or hiss that be not otherwise detectable with full-size phone . well , that be not a problem here . I find the hdp to be a excellent match with all my very sensitive universal and custom mold in ear monitor , include monster turbine pro gold , westone 2 , Westone 3 , Westone ES3X , Ultimate Ears 11Pro and JH Audio 13Pro . it do a very good job with all of they , despite they widely vary sound signature . the ue11pro can sometimes be bass heavy or have some recessed midrange with the wrong amp ; but neither of these be a problem with the HDP , even though it be not a bass-lite or forward sound amplifier . how they manage to squeeze such good sound into a price this low be unclear to I , because you basically have to spend $ 700 - $ 900 for a better dac -lrb- Apogee or Stello -rrb- and $ 700 - $ 1,000 for a better amp -lrb- upgrade Woo WA6 or ALO Amphora -rrb- , and you would have to buy both a dac and amp to get most of the feature of the HDP . -lrb- except for analog input for ipod or other player , where many DAC 's do not include those -rrb- . I will conclude by mention a couple of issue that I have . the hdp sound very good with a wide variety of headphone , but it might not be optimal with all of they . with my head-direct HiFiMan he-5 and Grado HF-2 , if I try to play those headphone at very high volume level -lrb- closer to max -rrb- then the sound can get a little strident and fatiguing in the high . I have hear this same thing with the he-5 and a $ 700 Grahm Slee Solo SRG II , and that be probably because the he-5 be very difficult to drive low impedance headphone and require a lot of current . with the he-5 headphone this happen at volume level that be much higher than my Woo WA6 tube amp can hope to achieve , so if I never try to play the hdp louder than my wa6 I would not have hear this . the Grado hf-2 can be a little boost in the upper mid and lower treble , and they just seem to respond better to my tube amp to tone they down a notch when try to play they at very loud level -lrb- level that would be damaging or harmful for more than a few minute -rrb- . at normal to moderately loud level this be never a issue . another issue be that the volume pot can have some channel imbalance at the very low end of the volume control when use very sensitive in ear monitor which do not require turn up the volume knob very much . this be common with most lower price gear when use IEM , but can be alleviate by turn down the computer system volume if you be use the usb input . however , none of these issue would prevent I from highly recommend this product . it make I eager to think about try they high-end product at some point . +864 Headphone NEG 2 foreword : I use these for my home computer . I be 23 and a very experienced computer user . there be a few thing about these headphone that make they seem as if they be design by someone who have never be tell what they would be use for . let 's start off with the fact that they be wireless headphone , but the charge base have two frustratingly short wire you need to accommodate . there be the obvious input jack that pull the sound from the computer . it be so short -lrb- 4 or 5 foot maybe ? -rrb- that it become a real pain to position in a convenient\/attractive way in the room . it create one of those taut , easy to accidentally snag hang wire situation that have end in my charge base startlingly slam to the floor on a few occasion . the charge base need to be plug into a wall jack with a equally short cord , however , this one end in a inexplicably large ac adapter that will require you to shuffle -lrb- if not completely unplug -rrb- some of you other gadget ac input . yes , you have hear I right . amount of wire to deal with on a regular , 2 dollar set of headphone from a 7-11 : 1 wire . amount of wire to deal with on a pair of 70 dollar sennheiser : 2 wire , both of which be too short and clunky . be I miss something here ? perhaps even worse be the auto-off feature of the headphone . if the headphone receive no audio information for about five minute -lrb- i.e. the CD you be listen to end , the movie you be watch be over and you have fall asleep in bed -rrb- , the headphone will shut off to preserve battery life . but rather than just go quiet , you get a earful of unending , louder than holy hell static . so every time you pc go quiet for more than five minute and you have those headphone on , get ready to crap yourself when they kick in with horror-movie-level , ear-splitting static . I know these have get great review , but most of those come from people who have own the product for about a week . over prolonged use , you learn to hate these thing . do yourself a favor and buy a cheapo , 1-wire , no static pair from anywhere else . +569 Headphone POS 5 if you be look for amazing bass sound , look no further . I be listen to these as i write , and they be beyond belief . the bass could not be better , and they be very comfortable . I really do not know what else to say . they be very worth the money +873 Headphone POS 5 great sound earphone , you will definitely ` feel ' the base , crisp treble . I have some trouble keep the earphone from fall out sometimes when walk and find the control button to be too close my face , but the overall experience be great . +769 Headphone POS 4 frankly I be astonish at the fanaticism the bose brand seem to attract . here 's my advice : do not listen to the Bose Haters or the Bose Lovers . listen to the headphone and make up you own mind . I have get other , more expensive can but I be intrigue by how light-weight these be -lrb- after try they on in a store -rrb- . Got ` em home and plug ` em in . my first impression be that these be surprisingly reveal . almost too bright . after I get use to the sound signature -lrb- occasionally throw some eq in the mix -rrb- , I be flabbergast by the fact that these sound quite good . after all the `` NEVER buy bose '' post I would read , I half expect these can to produce no sound at all ! the more I listen , the more I like they . overall , the beyerdynamic dt990 be probably my favorite phone , but these be not bad . the shape of the ear cup take a little nudging for I . my earlobe be `` attach '' , slope into my jaw line , so the ear cup tend to rest on that area a bit . I imagine that these would be more comfortable for a person with `` detach '' ear lobe . as far as the sound , I can not help but speculate that a blind test would fool some of those bose hater out there . on a final note , I prefer `` velour '' type ear pad , rather than the faux leather of these ... +498 Headphone POS 4 I have only be use this gadget for a little more than a week . overall I would rather have it than not . here be my comment . pro : o Wireless o easily recharge -lrb- I would have regret get one where I have to remove the battery to recharge -- a pain -rrb- o when tune to frequency -lrb- see con below -rrb- , the sound quality be good enough for I but I be not fussy . o my purpose be to watch tv late at night without disturbing my wife -- it work for that . con : o when I walk around with it on I get pop , snap & static . -lrb- when lie still this rarely happen . -rrb- o it do not lock on the frequency of the send unit . you have to manually tune it to the frequency , and the tuning be sensitive\/fussy . once tune to frequency it stay on frequency until the tuning wheel be move . but , the tuning wheel be easily move . when I lay the headset on the bed the tuning wheel often get bumped\/moved require it be readjust . the tuning wheel be near the volume wheel . when intend to adjust volume you may mess up the tuning instead . o the ear pad be continuous cloth -lrb- no open area over the ear canal -rrb- , so the pad can become a little warm . Followup : I have now use it almost nightly for over two year and I be glad I buy it . everything i say in my review above be accurate , but if the review sound negative that would be a wrong impression as I be happy with the unit . +453 Headphone POS 4 I have have a pair of these sennheiser 201 for 6 month and I use they several time a week to listen to music on my hi-fi . for -lrb- $ 20 I can not complain but I agree with other that a eq help . pro : Inexpensive build to last comfortable Lightweight Long cord , can be a con if you use a mobile device Crisp mid and high con : not very loud Poor bass response +768 Headphone POS 5 headphone be great , they be comfortable and come with three different ear bud size . sound quality be also great . Bang for the buck . +938 Headphone POS 5 at the current list price of 21.99 , these phone be a steal . very comfortable and great sound quality for the price . also try the ksc75 headphone . I agree that the bass -lrb- which have good resolution -rrb- will sound exaggerated on many song , which probably sound good to some user . however , other should turn they bass down on the eq . +753 Headphone POS 4 I have own 2-3 pari of these over the yeaer . one pair I find use at a garage sale for 50cent and the other I get new . they have neve fail I . I do not like ear bud nor the one that go around the pass of you neck . regular hp 's be too cumbersom . the rule ! +310 Headphone POS 5 great headphone for a great price . I have a pair of Sony headphone before these and they be too awkward and uncomfortable ... these be great . fit my head perfectly , deliver strong bass with great high , just a all around great pair of headphone . highly recommend . +508 Headphone POS 5 I have to admit , when I first open the box for these headphone I think they look awfully small . however when I open they and put they on , I find that to very good ! the headphone do look small and be , if you compare they to the other type that cover the whole ear . but what these make up for in size , they make up for in other way . these headphone have a nice snug fit -lrb- not tight but snug like a nice glove -rrb- . they be not noise canceling , but what they lack there they make up for in crystal clear sound . and they be extremely light in weight . the come with a nice pouch to store the headphone . so you be not have to buy a pouch or look in the house for something . the cord could be longer so if you like to move around the room with you headphone plug into the stereo or such , you 'll probably need to purchase a longer cord . but that be not a problem . they fold nice and fit into the bag with no problem . there be a nice squishy foam on top of the headphone so that they sit snug and fit good on you head . I use these to listen to music , mp3 old time radio via the computer , and even connect they to the television . in all the time , they give superior sound quality . great headphone . +323 Headphone POS 4 these headphone be good if you intention be correct . Sennheiser call they the 570 Symphony . they be specificially engineer for symphony music and it be clear in the audio . if you want to listen to you mp3 , buy these headphone may be a bit overboard . if you listen to vocal-oriented music like opera or live recording the SSSS 's will make you cringe . the midrange feel very wierd . they do make classical sound good . they also have absolutely amazing clarity . while the frequency responce be a bit ackward , if detail of the sound be what you be look for then these be what you be look for . the Duofol technology , of which I be skeptical at first , be amazing . the sound be crisp and clear . there be no moaning and droaning from these headphone . the sound be very very detail . these would be great for people listen through sound for small , quiet detail or for sample editing when wavematching be need . the detail provide be beautiful for that . so know what the headphone be design for before you punch $ 130.00 into they . they help I , so I like they , but I can see that there may be some problem for some people . +29 Headphone NEU 3 I purchase these headphone when I be write my senior thesis in college to block out all distraction . the sound quality be great , and the noise cancelation be quite impressive . this be the only pair of noise-canceling headphone I have ever use , so I do not have anything to compare they to , but they seem to do a great job cut down on ambient noise . no complaint there . however , after about 4 month of steady use , the speaker in the left ear stop work . if I fiddle with the wire a little bit the sound would come in and out , suggest that a wire have come loose from the speaker . from read other review , this appear to be a common problem , and until Sony address the issue , I would stay away from these headphone . I suppose you sacrifice some durability for the small size , which be too bad . it be important for I to note that I be a incredibly loyal Sony customer , but can not endorse a product that can not stand up to under a year of normal use . +992 Headphone POS 4 I buy these headphone as a gift for my mother so she could listen to the tv with out turn up the volume at night . they fit a little snug on my head but I think they be wear in a little so it be not too bad . if you have a smaller head they fit just fine like my mother . they do not have ear cup like regular headphone but they do sit on top of you ear and conform somewhat . it just take a little while to get use to the feeling . they feel like they will fall off at time but they be snug . the sound be pretty good for FM reception . you can walk like 50 to 100 foot away and still pick up the signal indoors . the box say 300 foot outdoors but I do not try it . I be sure they go close to it . the headphone have a tuning button on they to tune into the channel you want . all so the transmitter have 3 channel setting so you can find one that work best for you . it be not hard to tune in just keep turn the knob till you get a good signal on the headphone . sometimes you can pickup up CB radio and phone call if they be close by but only if you un tune the headphone from the transmitter till you hear static . it be kind of funny to hear people talk on the phone and the cb but it be only when you un tune the headphone otherwise it be not a problem at all . the sound be clear . put the headphone on the charger be easy too they just slide right into place and line up with the metal bar in the headphone . you may have to shorten the headphone when you put they back on the charger because the instruction say not to hold open the headphone or put they on a glass dummy head because they can lose there snug fit over time . it be not a problem if you remember to do this . you can also hang the charger on the wall . it have a hole in back for a nail or some other hook to hang it up with . the cord for the power and sound connector be long too about 5 to six foot more or less so you should have no problem place the transmitter anywhere to get better reception . it can hook up to a radio with the include adapter or hook up to a mp3 player or what ever take that kind of plug . the charger cradle be sturdy and have rubber foot on it so it do not tip over or move when you place the headphone back on to charge . the box they come in be easy to open and be well pack with 2 set of air bag . over all I like they and recommend they to any one . +73 Headphone POS 5 they ship promptly , they do what you expect , and they be not cheap junk . ca not say it better than that . +720 Headphone POS 5 I love these headphone ! I have be use these for a year and a half and I just can not get enough of they . I buy a pair brand new about a year and a half ago , and about a month ago one of the side stop work . so I simply contact the customer service and the woman I talk to be very kind and curtious and help I through the short process of return the broken item . luckily I keep the box and see that they come with a 2 year warranty so they gladly ship I a new pair . all I need be my digital recipt . I love these headphone and they have great sound quality and last I a long time , because I use they every day . so I very much recommend these to my friend . +217 Headphone POS 4 I love these earbud . they sound great and they be very comfortable . I could wear these for hour on end without my ear get sore . I even think the little case be a good idea to keep the earbud clean and intact . I only wish they come with a case big enough to put the cord in too . they last I several year until I lose they . then I go look for another pair just like they . +263 Headphone POS 4 when I purchase the cv123 combo pack -lrb- which buy the way be not even close to worth buying -rrb- , these headphone be part of the pack . as for as sound go , it be average . it be pretty flat , no really big bass or good treble , but it be not terrible . they be also very comfortable , and be not too big . the durability be pretty poor , however . they do not last very long so buy two or three . but for barely above a dollar , these be a definite buy . if they be more expensive then say five dollar , then I would go for some sony . +598 Headphone NEG 1 a terrible disappointment . jvc product have perform well for I in the past . my familiarity with the brand , and the reasonable price , prompt my purchase of these headphone . they awful performance be a surprise and a shock to I . when I stand or sit within 2 to 3 foot of the transmitter , the headphone sound great . from 4 to 6 foot , there be a annoying hiss . from 6 to 12 foot I could still hear the music but the noise be awful -- totally unacceptable . any greater distance than that and the noise be so loud it completely drown out the music . maybe the headphone I receive be defective , but they be absolutely useless to I . I return they to Amazon immediately . Amazon handle the return and refund to my credit card promptly . great company to do business with . but in this case , the product be substandard . +324 Headphone NEU 3 these sound really good but the band cut into the back of my ear and be very uncomfortable . also a couple of thing to keep in mind with this style of headphone : 1 -rrb- you can not can not wear they and sit in a high back chair or sofa , the neck band be in the way . 2 -rrb- you can not wear they if you have glass as the over the ear portion of the band sit right where you glass frame go . +131 Headphone POS 5 I just preview a pair of JVC that I keep in we coach . my Husband also buy these so I will have they for we bedroom . -lrb- I be one of the rare people that tv put right to sleep -rrb- . these be soft on the ear , the sound be amazing and they allow I to put I head on the pillow . one other brand keep I from put my head comfortable on the pillow . they be so comfortable . my husband sleep and I can enjoy my program at any amount of sound I want . +540 Headphone POS 4 they fit perfect , they sound clear , these bud have a great blend of bass , mid and high ... the build quality be excellent . for the price ... these earbud be a great value in my opinion . noise cancellation be almost perfect ... just make sure you fit they properly to you ear ... I 'll be keep these pair . . +0 Headphone NEU 3 I buy these for use on a motorcycle . the older style of marshmallow from JVC be basically ear plug with a small audio speaker in the middle . for some reason these do not fit as well in my ear . they still allow for some noise to come through . I have put these to the side for now and be stick with the old one . +692 Headphone POS 4 just get these in the mail and test they by listen to a wide range of music . death metal , dubstep , punk . one of the reveiwer complain that they be not loud enough . although I think the reveiwer 's standard be too high for these $ 20 headphone , I definately agree with he in regard to the lack of loudness , though this issue be not major enough to give this item anything less than 4 star . I do not know the technical term to describe what I be hearing , but I can here a slight `` drown out '' of high treble when I listen to certain music such as melodic death metal . these be worth the $ 20 imo . +942 Headphone POS 5 I love these headphone . they feel so comfortable and the sound be incredible . I be so happy with these . another satisfied customer ! +412 Headphone POS 5 these headphone bring together the best of two world : high-end , audiophile sound and portable music player . I be very particular about the quality of sound , and before I audition a friend 's 595 , I have assume that I would need a headphone amplifier to be able to drive the anemic amplifier in my portable music player . as most of you know , pmp be build for portability and simply can not accommodate large amplifier , such as the one that exist in home music system . unfortunately , most audiophile headphone be design with a high impedance -lrb- or resistance -rrb- , such as 300 ohm . while these type of headphone be perfect for home receiver or amplifier , they make pmp unlistenable because even at maximum volume , the pmp do not have enough wattage to drive these headphone . imagine , then , my surprise , when my friend tell I that the 595 have a impedance of only 50 ohm , surprisingly efficient for headphone of this quality . I be able to plug they directly into my pmp -lrb- without the need for headphone amplification -rrb- and listen to glorious sound at volume level that would suit any hard-core rocker . the 595 come with two jack -lrb- a 1\/4 '' jack for home receiver and a 1\/8 '' jack for pmp . -rrb- they be comfortable to wear for extended period of time and they produce stellar sound in all genre . they reveal excellent detail in music , they reproduce bass , midrange and high without coloration , and they have a excellent soundstange . as evidence of they soundstage , one can identify the venue of a recording and easily place the perfomer in that venue . -lrb- while listen to a Radiohead album , I be immediately place in a recording studio , with the musician in various part of the studio . moreover , while listen to a fine chamber music recording , I be immediately place in a small concert hall and be able to pinpoint the musician there as well . the 595 also faithfully and accurately reproduce surround sound from well-recorded movie . -rrb- it be rare for I to review a product and not find any fault , but this be the case with the Sennheiser hd-595 . and since they be introduce several year ago , they price have be substantially reduce and be now under $ 200 . they be a audiophile bargain . +315 Headphone POS 5 I have the Nike + iPod setup include the armband , and have a inline disconnect about 12 inch from the left earbud be perfect . the weight of a full length cord spool by my ipod be annoying , this one eliminate that . it be perfect , light weight , great sound , plus with the extension I can plug into my other ipod on my belt clip . +360 Headphone POS 4 I have have these for about a week . I love the soft rubber cap -- three size include ; very soft and much more comfortable than foam cap . they do not slide\/pop out of you ear , either . Bass response be respectable for this price . asymmetrical cord design be comfortable . cord separate in the middle -- you can use shorter length for arm or pocket player location ; add extension for belt or backpack use . a small ear buds-only case be include , which keep the bud protect from dust or other unwanted dirt when not in use . also include be a feel drawstr pouch to hold piece you be not use , or all of the part if desire . I be very pleased so far . I have use they for jazz , rock and classical listening . they be not active noise-cancelling type , but in-ear design block out most noise , anyway . +146 Headphone NEG 2 no matter how the sound quality be , I think this headphone be very uncomfortable . I originally want to get the Boss oe2 , but go for this because it be much cheaper . but I do not like how it feel when I wear it . +624 Headphone POS 5 I be a 58 year old male who usually do not write review . however , I feel the desire to write one about the aforementioned can . simply put , they be outstand ! I have be involve with music as a guitar player & `` Blues '' and `` NON-commercial Rock & Roll '' lover since the age of 13 , and very much like `` Metal '' . quality reproduction be a must for I . not just volume , but spatial headroom & tonal quality . these can do this very well ! I have use cheaper can just because I hate ear bud . while they work , they be not quality can . at christmas-time 2010 , my wife ask I what I want for a gift from she & I say a new set of good headphone . as she be not into electronics , she tell I to pick a pair . I go on-line & research they , as well as go to the store to listen to they . at the time , I be certain I want bose . of course ! they commercial say they be the best ... that must be what I need ! I go to best buy & listen to a higher end set & think `` something be miss ! while the price say they be the best , what I be hearing say otherwise . '' so I email they , ask for frequency response & be tell they do not publish they as they be not that important ! Hmmm ... while I agree that what you hear be more important than number , I still want the number ! then I listen to a set of senheiser . Night & day difference ! go on line to Amazon.com -lrb- because I trust they -rrb- & order a set of hd 280 pro 's . what you hook they up to & the quality of the recording you be listen to DOES MATTER ! after all , they `` reproduce sound '' , they do not `` generate sound '' ! they will sound better wire to a quality home audio system play vinyl -lrb- or yes ... even a cd ! -rrb- than when connect to a ipod play a mp3 ! -lrb- for many reason , which be not the topic of this review ! -rrb- the headroom from this set of can be OUTSTANDING ! the low-end frequency be quality ... not muddy and not distort . mid for voice and most instrument be clean & clear and the high be very crisp and clean ... not painful as with some can . you can pick out vocal on Pink Floyd mix that you have neaver hear before ! and Gilmore 's lead ... WOW ! thd be , for all intent and purpose , non-existant ! Seperation be as good as the recording will allow . noise be as quiet as be you system ... and if there be any on you system , you will hear it ! this set of can be not make for noise-reduction -lrb- noise-cancelling -rrb- , but as they be `` close can '' , they do a good job . I could only rate they as 3 star for longevity , simply because I have only have they a short time . however I will say , they seem `` quality '' in material . be they the best headphone for my use ? hell no , because I can not afford $ 1,000.00 to $ 1,500.00 for `` the best '' ! but if I could , they would be mark `` Sennheiser '' , and I would buy they through Amazon.com ! for what I can afford to pay , I love them ! +273 Headphone POS 5 these headphone sound great . after break in for 72 hr the bass be nice and everything be sound like you in concert ! use high quality file be a must . it be easy to tell the difference between a 128kbs mp3 and CD quality music . listen to a Saxaphone solo you can actually hear the pad click on the instrument . Trans-Siberian Orchestra be truly awesome . good for rap , Rock , classical , jazz , etc. . . if more bass be desire -lrb- as some previous review -rrb- you can always dial some in the eq on iTunes . I pay $ 68 on sale and there be no other headset out there that compete for that much . +596 Headphone NEG 1 I have own three pair of these earbud for my iPhone . the first last for almost a year until the left earbud -lrb- microphone side -rrb- no longer produce sound . think that a year be a decent amount of time for such inexpensive earbud with a mic , I order another pair as replacement . that pair last 4 week before the mic stop work and produce bad static when use the phone -lrb- they still work with the ipod function for some reason -rrb- . Amazon be kind enough to send I a new pair ... unforunately those last only 2 day before the same thing happen . I 'll go with a different brand this time . +505 Headphone POS 4 they collapsability be great for portability and store on trip , and the mechanical design appear to be durable over time - ask I again after five year of hither-and-yon . sound quality be fine . not exceptionally comfortable after a extended sit , compare with a studio-quality headset , but that comparison be unfair since they be not intend for that use . only complaint be the lack of a adapter to 1\/4 '' phone plug socket . +71 Headphone POS 5 I purchase these after my cat eat my Ipod Touch earbud and I be leery because of the review that state they distort music with excessive bass . the only time that happen be when you turn the bass setting up on you mp3 . these thing do not need the bass turn up because it be build in . they deliver rich distortion free sound that I think would be hard to outdo with earbud cost hundred more . moreover they fit perfectly with the softest silicone tip I have ever see . never hurt you ear even after hour of wear they . I highly recommend this product . +805 Headphone POS 5 I be not sure about trust the other review that I read about this product , but I do . the review be absolutely correct ! I give the Sennheiser eh-150 five star base on its excellent sound quality . the ear comfort be not horrible , but it could be better . +857 Headphone NEG 2 these headphone sound pretty good , but it be difficult to analyze they very extensively before you head start throb from the impressive , but painful amount of pressure . I think maybe I just have a massive , sensitive head until I notice this be mention in many other review . the advice to stretch they out on a couch arm or basketball be good if you be already stick with they and have to make it work , but I would think the average consumer would want to avoid this if there be lower maintenance headphone option . +39 Headphone NEG 1 I have be look for a adapter for my 3.5 headphone to fit my 2.5 jack on my phone for a while now so , when I find this for 61 cent and no shipping needless to say I jump at the chance ... well it arrive on time and be as describe appearance wise ... it fit my headphone and it fit my phone BUT it do NOT work ... oh well , you get what you pay for I guess ... +808 Headphone POS 4 Orderd headphone 20 $ arrived in 4 day free shipping over 25 $ . read alot of review and figure what the hey and be right , I have a large head 7 3\/4 I think and a full bushy head of hair and when I see headphone I think no way r these thing go to fit . if you pull down hard on each ear pad they extend to a very large size and fit very nice , iam 1 notch from the largest setting and think they would fit a 8 size head . the sound be ok because the bass be a little to strong on classic rock but if u use a equalizer u can work around this problem . the 10 foot cord be great and the noise canceling be not really good . work on a computer u can here tv and phone ringing and other people can here what u r listen to but it be a low volume . they be so comfortable and do not squish my ear because my ear fit perfctly inside the pad . im wonder if all the other comment of major pressure on head and not fitting at all , if they realize u can extend the earpad to a very large head ? all in all worth the 20 $ 4\/5 +77 Headphone POS 5 it go without say these headphone be a tremendous upgrade from the earbud that come with my ipod , but I be extremely surprise at just how good they be , especially because they be price so reasonably . right out of the box I be surprise by they quality ; I could hear , for example , previously-unheard breath and bowscrape in a few quintent piece I enjoy . moreover , I could really notice that music of all type `` spread '' from ear to ear whenever I use these headphone ... with other phone I have try , include some studio model , even well-produced music tend to stay more-or-less in the middle . I enjoy these phone so much I be tempt to try higher-quality phone from Sennheiser : if they sub - $ 30 phone be this good , they higher-end phone must be unbelievable . further , they be extremely comfortable and come with a generous cord . I can wear they perfectly well underneath my motorcycle half-helmet , and I can hear they perfectly fine over the roar of my motorcycle . +5 Headphone POS 4 I be a relatively tough critic with electronics , and I have now own several pair of `` noise canceling '' in-ear-design headphone . to name a few Shure se210 and e2c , etymotic , and now these . I find the full sound , rich base , secure fit and lighter weight of these to be superior to the other . I do believe the Shure se210 offer better sound isolation -lrb- which be not the most important for I -rrb- and purer sound at high level -lrb- also not for I -rrb- . regardless , I find these headphone to be far superior to the other . it would be nice if these come with some foam ear bud , but that be not a big deal . +475 Headphone POS 4 these headphone be awesome . i like the open ear design where i can hear what be go on around I . very durable and good sound quality . have be use for a year with no issue +45 Headphone NEU 3 I have use these headphone for several year the sound be good not great . I would order 3-4 at a time because they be $ 8 . xx and I have one for the computer , one for the tv , and one for my Sony Walkman radio . and a spare because the wire eventually break inside , usually near the plug . but at nearly $ 50 I will step back to the Sony mdr-w08l which do not have the volume control but be -lrb- $ 8 , and I use they before the mdr-w24v . +629 Headphone POS 5 ok , you can get all of the technical jargon from other review , but I want to weigh in on these great headphone - they be hand down my favorite headphone I have ever own -lrb- a I have spend MUCH more on other over the year -rrb- . the sound be SUPERB , and they be by far the most comfortable headphone I have ever try . I would recommend these over any of the $ 50 + headphone I have try . my only concern be the plug do not look very sturdy , but after 3 month of pretty heavy use , so far no problem ! I give these my highest rating ! +128 Headphone POS 5 by far the best headphone I have listen to under $ 750 . I run live sound in refence tune venue , and as a result I can actually use these for live mix as they be almost dead on . the only issue I have with they be that if you do not have a round head they can put pressure on the top of you head , but that take about 3 hour to become uncomfortable . as far as reference headphone go , these be hard to beat , just make sure to get a good amp , or the fat-pipe upgrade if you be go to be do intense studio mix . I listen to music on these headphone exclusively now as they have a much wider response than any other headphone I own ; but you need to have a good understanding of eqing sound system to get they to really shine as they be a blank slate . +134 Headphone POS 5 these have be my first high quality headphone that I have purchase . I be not what one would call a audiophile , but I be look for some great , high quality sound headphone , and these deliver . I be look through alot of other headphone before I buy these , look through what be in my budget , and these be definately worth the price . if you be look for great sound , comfortabilty , and bang for you buck , the mdr-v6 be the way to go . +538 Headphone POS 5 the Koss Pro\/4AA represent vintage design and super high quality sound reproduction . mind they need a few hour of ` break in ' before the full , rich sound unfold . and mind ... they be design in a different age , when maximal sound quality be everything . they be heavy , and you can not do anything but listen to music , while wear they . this be my second pair - buy the first in '78 and litteraly play they to shread . Trien modern one , expensive one ... but the rich sound just be not there . so i be back to Koss Pro\/4aa . +821 Headphone POS 5 after several flight , I have determine that these headphone do what I buy they for : protect my ear ! if I listen to my ipod before , i have to have the volume crank to 100 % ! can you imagine how loud that be ! now with the noise reduce function on , i only have to have the volume at 1\/4 to 1\/3 the level before the headphone . but mostly i do not listen to music , i just have they on while i be on the plane , no music . i be very happy with these , give that i do not have to pay $ 300 for bose . no , they be not bose , but my goal be to save my ear & hearing for the next half of my life ! +339 Headphone POS 5 I recently purchase these headphone to replace a 139.00 set of bose headphone . these headphone blow the bose one away . year ago I own a set of the Sony mdr-5000 yet lose they somewhere . anyway , I be attract to the bose because of the name , etc. . they be however make very cheap and the wire break where it enter one of the earcup . the Sonys be the exact oppositte . they be build solid and exactly what I need . I play the drum and use they all of the time when play my electronic kit . the sound quality be far superior to the bose headphone and I be so happy I purchase they ! you will not be sorry if you do the same . +757 Headphone POS 5 we buy this set of earphone for we daughter when we go on vacation . we daughter be 2 . she love they . they be cute little lion . glad we get this set . +364 Headphone POS 4 my wife and I use this splitter with two earphone set with a kindle fire to watch a movie on a cross country plane ride . it work . it do require a little twist of the plug for one of the earphone set immediately after it be insert in the splitter to get stereo sound . but , both earphone set work after that . +539 Headphone POS 5 these be absolutely wonderful headphone . they main selling point to I be they lightweight design obviously along with incredible sound . I can take they out and about if I want to , and basically use they wherever I might desire brilliant sound out of whatever I may be listen to . these might not be what you be look for with bass-heavy music -- they still sound absolutely wonderful , but not they forte as the Dr. Dre beat or the like would be . the audio be incredibly even and balanced , allow you to pick out and zone in on every instrument in the ensemble . I would especially recommend these for acoustic music listener . I mainly listen to jazz , intricate bluegrass and folky type music , world music , rock and roll , and some classical stuff . I have recently be hook on the Goat Rodeo Sessions , and play a track from that album for people I be let try out the headphone . absolutely incredible . put listen to music on a whole ` nother level . they be also great for watch movie on you computer . +833 Headphone POS 4 I buy a similarly price set of wireless headphone when my first child be bear , to allow we to watch tv at a realistic volume and not wake up we little light sleeper . they be problematic , hurt you ear so much that we need to take a break while watch anything longer than a sitcom , static abound , and eventually neither of we could stand they anymore . after lot of research , I settle on this offering from Sennheiser , have decent review and be not terribly expensive . now 3 year later , I still love they just as much , and have have no issue at all . here be my observation , and also address some `` con '' list by other reviewer : 1 -rrb- status\/hissing noise . this seem to be a problem when the headphone volume be turn up high . we be irritated with inconsistent static at first , until we discover that if we turn we stereo\/amp up to the max , the headphone volume do not need to be up very high at all , and have experience no static or hissing noise under these circumstance . some static will also be present when the battery be run low , but as long as you keep they in the charge station when not in use , that really should not be a problem . 2 -rrb- Range seem pretty good . I have even go into the next room to my kitchen to wash dish or make a snack during a commercial , and be able to listen the whole time without cut out . a trip to we garage for laundry , however , cut in and out with some static . 3 -rrb- sound quality . I be not a expert , but I would rate these as be `` very good '' . not the same as we home stereo system , but I would say on par with sound from you tv . 4 -rrb- design . these phone be very comfortable . I have a small head , and these adjust fine without fall off . my husband have have friend over for gaming who have large noggin , and all say these be very comfortable , even after hour of wear . they sit on you ear , and be not what I would call `` sound-isolating '' headphone . you can hear ambient noise , but I prefer that . you could still hear a baby cry , and can detect when someone be try to talk to you , though may not be able to hear the conversation until you remove the headphone . if you truly want to be in you own world and not hear anything else , these be not the headphone for you . 5 -rrb- durability . as I have say , we be past 3 year and still never have a problem . we be not abusive or rough with they , but they have be sit on , drop , etc , with no issue . 6 -rrb- charge station . the charge unit be pretty big , and fit two headphone if you be careful . I can not believe the negative comment I have read about these be so difficult to charge . there be groove on the headphone so you know exactly where they be suppose to rest - it be not rocket science . we have a second pair , and get the 2nd headphone on correctly so that both charge take slightly more work , basically just make sure they be both touching , which often just involve push back slightly when you put the 2nd one on . if you expect to just toss they on the charger as if you be play horseshoe , then , yes , you will have problem . but if you walk up to the charger and place they on , you 'll be fine . ultimately , very please with these headphone . highly recommend ! +482 Headphone NEU 3 I have read every single review about hd 202 here before I buy it . some people complain about its tight fit and ear sore , but buy it anyway because I know Sennheiser 's reputation . after I test it for about two day , I decide to return it . for the sound quality and its look , it be awesome ! there be a lot of good review about the sound quality , so I will not talk about it any more here . however , if you need it for long listening , you may want to re-consider to buy it . I email Amazon.com about this tight fit problem . accord to they reply , it seem that some other people complain of the same problem and Amazon.com agree that it be a real problem . the below be the email they write to I . I hope it will be helpful to you . `` as it seem that the problem with this item be more widespread than we originally think , we would also refund you for the return shipping charge upon return of the `` Sennheiser HD 202 Headphones '' +935 Headphone POS 5 I be no audiophile , but I would file these under f for `` f 'n excellent value ! '' seriously . I be very skeptical , of course , but sure enough , everyone review these be right . also , they stay in my ear much better than crapple ear bud . +726 Headphone NEG 2 these would get 4 star if not for the large blinking light on the right headphone . read other review I think this be a bluetooth-only light , and that it could be disable by some button gymnastics . not the case for the red light on the normal headphone . this be not just a simple led , the entire circle-cross pattern you see in the photo light up , flash every couple seconds not in a subtle way . if I be sit next to someone wear these on a plane I would ask they to turn off the blinky light . it be that annoy . I do not think I should have to annoy people when listen to music . electrical tape do a good job cover it up , if you do not mind put electrical tape on you new expensive headphone . for I I be afraid they be go back . otherwise , decent headphone , good nc , and comfortable . +983 Headphone NEU 3 the sonic experience be indeed very please almost sublime . however , the textile trim padding on set have already separate from headset . not one to swet the small stuff especially cosmetic , but as well the conection jack in set cut in and out . not very rugged ! +94 Headphone NEG 1 I have go through two pair of these , each pair lose sound in the right ear bud after two month of use . I have use they with the ipod and zune and they just wear out . they be not worth the money . +170 Headphone POS 5 I be a audiophile , and what i can say be that these headphone sound like speaker that cost thousand of dollar -lrb- after 1 month of burn-in time they do , and remember match they with a amp -rrb- . highly recommend . burn THEM in 3 month and listen again people . +232 Headphone POS 4 I be now on my third pair of these headphone . I use they when training -lrb- running , gym , etc -rrb- and the first two pair last about 6-7 month before the cable fail . both time the cable fail at the point where it split \/ be join to the headphone . why do I still keep buy they and give a four star review ? sound be good , they be very light , extremely comfortable , not too expensive , and I do give they a lot of abuse so do not expect they to last forever . +234 Headphone POS 4 I look long and hard at earphone before I buy this one , but that in no way say that I know all there be to know about they -lrb- not even a fraction actually -rrb- . simply because there be just so many earphone you can get to try before you buy . I be skeptical about what kind of difference there might be between a $ 5 set and a $ 30 set . I be pleased to report that the difference be worth pay for : -rrb- it be not like I have use a whole magnificent range of earphone to be able to notice a difference . I have be a stock earphone user , and move to this one ... there be a huge difference in sound ! the range and clarity be great ! and more so be the sound-isolating property . I figure it be the great fit of the earbud inside you ear-canal . so it be imperative that they be insert correctly -lrb- they plug you ear to the outside sound -rrb- . as a experiment - plug you finger into you ear and hum to yourself - that be the way it actually work ! the hum be just to give you a idea of how the sound quality will change for you ; -rrb- -lrb- yeah I know that you own sound travels through the bone and not through air ... but the effect here sound just like it -rrb- . I do notice what the other mention as `` heavy bass '' of the sony phone , but I can definitely live with that . it be not like the sound be all bass ... it be just a tad more than what I would think the music will actually sound like . but it be all good -lrb- yes folk . . it really be -rrb- . after this ... I be pretty sure that even more expensive earphone must be something special -lrb- when I hear through these ... i can imagine those tiny difference that might improve even this quality -rrb- . but at present I would not like to spend $ 70 on another pair of earphone ... so I be stick to these - and love they : -rrb- cheer ! +520 Headphone POS 4 I be look for a relatively inexpensive pair of headphone that be comfortable to wear for long period of time . let I first say that the sound quality be all be crack up to be . they sound awesome with great bass reproduction and a nice long cord for the price . my gripe be that I be look for the comfort factor as well and it be not there . they be not uncomfortable -lrb- if that make sense -rrb- but although they look like a supraaural pair of headphone , in fact , they simply slip right around the ear themselves instead of have a nice big circle to press against the head . they barely fit over my ear and I do not think I have extraordinarily large ear . so , if you be look for a great sound pair cheap , the hd202 's be the way to go . +191 Headphone POS 5 I just get these headphone and they sound amazing . I be actually quite surprised consider only pay a measly $ 35 for these bad boy . this be the very first day i use they and there be no sign or crack yet . they do fit a bit too snug though , so it be quite possible they will crack with some use . I be definitely reinforce they before that happen ! I highly recommend these headphone . by the way , it take no time to pair the transmitter and headphone . and I be currently run the transmitter while it be plug in . hopefully the transmitter be power directly from the plug as oppose to the battery . +358 Headphone POS 5 a few year ago a friend of mine give I a pair of headphone that I think sound great , but do not really realize how great they be until they break . I purchase 4 or 5 other pair of headphone , after this happen , try to find a pair of similar quality . I be , however , simply unable to find pair that meet my expectation . maybe I be picky , but I just could not bring myself to listen to music through poor headphone . I know how my music be suppose to sound , and until this pair , I could not find a pair that be able to conduct the sound as it be mean to be . if I know how these headphone be go to perform , I would have be willing to pay $ 60 + for they in a heart beat . +26 Headphone POS 5 I have be use these ear bud for a long time now . the first thing I notice be the wide range of sound these bud respect . I listen to a lot of classical music on my Sansa c240 . the depth of sound come out for the first time . I could even hear the triangle . they be so dainty in my hand that I do not think they would last very long ; but they be still work like a champ . I work in a industrial setting and sometimes use they as safety ear plug . occasionally I get the cord catch on something and they get yank out of my ear . this be the kind of treatment that typically wear out a set of ear bud ; but these be still good . you mileage may vary . but if and when these thing wear out I 'll be buy another set . +85 Headphone NEU 3 these headphone have a great sound , but the cord be so noisy ! I use they while work out , because the Apple headphone be too big for my ear and either fall out or start to hurt after awhile . these fit great , but anytime the cord hit my shirt , it be so loud and it sound like I be use a stethoscope . I try to put up with it because I be not very picky , but I could not ... so now I be back to my Apple one until I can find something better ! +281 Headphone NEG 1 like many , I like to listen to music while I run . well , it be a little difficult with these . they do not stay in my ear , they be painful when I try to position they correctly -lrb- and I be constantly reposition they as I run -rrb- and the over ear plastic section be uncomfortable as well . I be think about go back to my Nike HJ030 Vapor Sport Bud headphone -lrb- although the plastic break after a year on the Nike 's , they be actually comfortable and stay put ! I 'll invest the money and actually send in the warranty this time ! -rrb- +23 Headphone POS 4 I buy the head phone so I could watch movie w\/out wake the family up . they sound great . there be a little bit of hiss , but after ajust the different volume control , you can tweak the sound perfectly . they also come w\/an adaptor for different size output . I would recomend they . I also get they fairly fast . +932 Headphone NEU 3 for my shape of ear these seem to sound and fit best into my ear when i insert they upside down so the wire be come out the top and back down . look kinda funny but they sound good this way , so I have be deal with it . they isolate the sound just alright , but they block out outside noise very effectively . +214 Headphone POS 5 I have have these headphone for 2 year now . so you people who Broke Yours in a Month or less do not take good CARE of THIS PRODUCT . I be a DJ and Use these and the over the ear Solo beat Headphones both Great Sound and Quality . +318 Headphone POS 5 I mainly use my ipod for work out on aerobic equipment at the gym -lrb- treadmill , stepper , bike , etc -rrb- . I have be look for some earphone to replace the one Apple give you with the ipod . although those offer decent sound , they be damned uncomfortable and make my ear hurt after 30 minute -lrb- I do not understand why can not Apple include comfortable earbud with they product ! -rrb- I do a lot of research before buy these V-Moda Bass Freq earbud . at first I be go to get some Sony earbud , but after read about the problem with the cord spontaneously disintegrate , I decide against it and go for the V-Moda instead . all I can say be : WOW ! I think the sound from the Apple earbud be pretty good , but it be nothing compare to the V-Moda 's . as you would expect , the sound be rather `` bassy , '' but the high be also quite crisp . I would not say it be perfect , but really it be extremely good . I be very very pleased with this purchase ! I mainly use my ipod at the gym . as you can imagine it get pretty noisy there and I wind up have to crank up the sound on my ipod to hear the music well . these V-Moda 's fit in my ear extremely comfortably and actually provide a great deal of noise blocking . all that extra noise create by the other treadmill and bike around I be 70 to 80 percent block out ! I be quite amaze . and this allow I to hear the music clearly , therefore I do not need to crank the volume of my ipod so high . the music sound so much better than usual that it motivate I to exercise longer -- because I be really enjoy the sound of the music so much ! since they be earbud , you do have to place they rather deeply into you ear canal to achieve the correct bass and noise-blocking effect . you may need to fiddle with it a little bit to get all the bass effect . but the earbud be a not uncomfortable . in fact , I wear they for a hour and forget that they be on . extremely comfortable ! I have only own they for a couple of week so I can not comment on they durability , but I be very careful with my stuff so I expect they to last a long time . I plan to order one or two more pair . oh , and by the way , I also order a pair of iLuv 301 because they be inexpensive -- the sound do not even begin to compare . the iluv 301 's produce a tinny little sound , whereas these V-Moda Bass Freq 's be terrific . it be like compare a transister radio to a 100-watt speaker . overall I give the V-Moda Bass Freq 's five star for quality , sound , noise blocking , and a good value for the money ! +92 Headphone POS 5 I love these headpohne and i never stop get compliment on the noise cancel capability ! i would highly highly highly reccommend these headphone to any dedicated music listener out there ! +497 Headphone POS 4 I use these for run with my ipod - the cord be a little short but the sound be quite good and I find they more comfortable than bud when I be sweating . +377 Headphone POS 4 I buy this in a combo with the Razer Orcas . I be plan to clip it onto the wire of my Orcas but the clip be too big . Wish you could change that . other than that , this mic pick up everything . good or bad ? depend . as I say earlier , great for what you pay for and I do not think you would use this for record music or anything . I use it for communicate over Skype for gaming or just talk to friend . +221 Headphone NEG 2 the sound be fine , but the head band be too tight . it press so hard against my ear that after 30 minute they hurt . so you think I be a Fat Head ! but no - I have a normal size adult male head . I have tie to bend the spring steel part of the band , but the plastic section be make with a small radius and can not be bent . I be sure unit be fine for kid and pea brain ! I also wish this only have one wire out the left side , rather than two wire -lrb- one to each earphone -rrb- . but most of these phone -lrb- except for the cheaper Sony -rrb- be make this way . +337 Headphone NEG 2 I would have send this back but I need to do some more copying . it be a piece of junk as far as I be concern . a piece of plastic junk hope it last until I be do need it . also the door do not stay closed and once you send the record to I tune that be it it be do . just like everything else these day poorly make and way overprice . +733 Headphone NEU 3 I will confess , I be please with these headphone when I get they . Pretty decent sound , good noise blocking -lrb- always a plus in New York City -rrb- . the odd cord length -lrb- very short plus a very long extension -rrb- be a bother , but I manage . I figure , for a set of headphone under $ $ , it be worth it . what I do not take into account be the durability . buy these -lrb- . . -rrb- , and sure enough , the rubber on the cord have almost completely disintegrate . I suspect that the latex content in the rubber be pretty high , and my body heat have cause it to break down since they be design to be wear with the cord drape behind the neck . frustrating as heck . Sony have be in this business long enough to at least get that part right . so instead of buy another pair -lrb- and hope they have fix it -rrb- , I be step up to the Shure e2c 's . I figure they might be twice as much money , but they ought to last longer than 7 month . again , the sound on the Sony headphone be good ... just be prepare to buy another set in a few month . +33 Headphone POS 4 this be the consumer version of Sony 's professional mdr-7506 phone , widely use in the film and broadcast industry , which be standard issue at the radio station where I work . due to the shallow ear cup , I find they uncomfortable after about two hour . but they be rugged , compact when fold , and the coil cord be top . however , I have never be content with they sound . the high end be exaggerate . this can be useful for location recording , as it accentuate hiss and other unwanted noise . however , I can not recommend mix with these because it be hard not to overcompensate for they inherent brightness , and the strong high frequency quickly induce listen fatigue . these phone have be in production for two decade , but I prefer they little brother , the discontinue 7504 model , which have a more balanced sound . that say , I have not yet find a good , affordable alternative to the mdr-7506 -lrb- a.k.a mdr-v6 -rrb- . as other have note , the only difference between the v6 and 7506 be a gold-plated plug adapter , the length of the warranty , and whether the sticker on the ear cup be marked `` Professional '' or not . +196 Headphone NEU 3 pro : these ear phone fit ok in the ear thanks to the extra removable bud . cheap price . con : too much tint sound . I have a Sansa mp3 player with equalizer setting . I put all bass on and still too much tint and no bass at all . +353 Headphone NEG 2 these headphone be definitely a bottom tier set . the frequency response be poor at both end of the spectrum and everywhere in between . the sound reproduction quality be muddy . they distort badly at a relatively low volume . they still beat ear pod which for I , be a abomination . keep a set handy for those time when you other be break or `` lose '' somewhere in you home or auto . +62 Headphone POS 5 these be the best sport earbud on the market . they be light and with the wrap around on the ear stay in place . no ear bud be perfect , but these be inexpensive enough that they can be replace without too much out of pocket cost . Let 's face it . cheap or expensive nothing can last year and year when sweat be part of the natural routine of a ear bud . I have have expensive one and these be just as good . they get a 5 star mark for they practicability and cost . +723 Headphone POS 4 I be very surprised at how boom the bass be on these . I be always tell that earbud be not the correct way to listen to music cuz they do not deliver enough bass . these definitely do . another great factor be that when these be in you ear , they pretty much block out all external noise . they be pretty amazing . I could not believe it . I can not complain about the sound quality at all . my only issue be the control talk remote which be on the left bud . it weigh down on it make it uncomfortable to walk around . also it be extremely close to you chin which be another annoying factor . I be annoy with this so much which be why I be glad I find out about the `` ibeats htc\/ur beat '' which do not have that control talk thing so close to you face . +828 Headphone NEG 1 I just buy these today and I can not wait to return they . perhaps I have be spoil by bose , perhaps they just do not work . I can barely perceive any difference in the sound - just not worth the cost . they actually make I appreciate the earbud that come with my ipod . +391 Headphone NEU 3 these headphone be decent , but do not expect miraculous noise reduction or amazing sound quality . I own these as well as Sony MDR-V6 , Koss KTXPros , and previously own bose tri-port . as for noise , the bose phone with they sealed design ear cups\/pads actually cancel more airplane noise passively than these do with active cancellation electronics . the ear pad on these be not supple enough to provide a really good seal against the side of the head and that may be the source of the problem . the seal should be suction-cup like to really make the active noise reduction effective . even though they cost a small mint and you be of course pay for the prestige of the brand , I would prefer the bose for air travel have they not break . sound quality be lack as well . from some of the review on this site , you would think these sound incredible . after own they for a year and compare to other headphone I own -lrb- Koss KTXPros for 15 year , Sony MDR-V6 , the standard for studio mastering , for 3 year -rrb- these be dull and lifeless . the high be roll off , the low be muddy . while maybe better than stock headphone , they be only slightly better in this department . amplification with a headphone amp do not make thing any better . comfort be pretty good . once again , ear pad could stand to be a little softer to give a better seal , but the wire headband can be bent to provide more or less pressure on the head . the ear cup surround my medium-large ear and the inside of the cup barely touch they . they can not compete at all with the bose tri-port or the Sonys in this department . they be just ok . I be hope these would live up to the review , but I can not say they do . they be decent for the money , but not great . +393 Headphone NEG 2 with no mode setting -lrb- repeat , shuffle , etc -rrb- or shock protection , this cd player be pretty undesirable , but if you be just look for something to hold you over then this 'll do . it have all the basic feature of a cd player of course and it work alright . it could be with just mine , but every pair of headphone , new and old , that I use with it , the left begin to malfunction although when use those same headphone in another cd player or speaker , they work fine . like I say , if you just want a temporary thing then I guess this be good for you . +640 Headphone POS 4 these fit perfectly over my ear and provide excellent sound . from classical to Heavy Metal , each album I have go through sound brand new since I have move away from the in-ear bud . the headphone come with a nice case to protect they while you travel which do have enough room to fit a ipod . I highly recommend these . they do a adequate job of cancel out noise . but just as overall headphone they be great ! +709 Headphone POS 5 the signal strength be superior , very comfortable on ear . battery long for the hour and charge station keep the headset charge every time . this be my second set . right now I can use both headset connect to one of the station . I would buy this product again in the future . +428 Headphone NEU 3 I buy this for watch the tv . the sound quality be amazing . I like the head set overall . the only problem be , you have to tune every time you power on the headset . it will not save the frequency once you set it . good for those who want to watch tv or play game with best sound . +27 Headphone POS 4 bought myself when I see it on the sale here in Amazon . I find these a great bargain . my pro : great value , the sound be ok , and look cool . my con : the cord to way too long , have some poor sound when plug in other device like PSP , other mp3 player etc. `` i be ok with its performance on my ipod touch and on my laptop '' , the bass be average like those other in it be price range . well for 5 month of use it , the sound quality do not degrade and i be plan to mod this coz it be start to have scratch and the logo be fading +125 Headphone POS 5 I be very happy with the headphone . I want to listen to my ipod without use of the earbud type phone because they hurt my ear after listen for awhile . these be very comfortable . while they do not block outside noise , this be exactly what I want - to be able to hear if someone need I . although if you turn they up , they do block out a lot of outside noise . I like the fact that they fold up - there be a hinge on each side . I be very happy with my purchase and I would purchase they again for a gift ! +865 Headphone POS 5 nice huge headphone with very decent bass and a pretty solid build . cord be short , but I like that because I only use it for my computer while I do HW . cheap and decent headphone . +127 Headphone POS 5 I have this type of head phone and use it for a number of year till recently it blow out . . I look everywhere in the past 3 month to replace these . I jog 3 to 5 mile a day and sweat profusely . . ear bud would not stay in due to sweat . . my ear be small so try at least 5 different style and nothing work . . these be great because the tension make sure they stay in . they might not be as cool but as far as function a + + + . . +633 Headphone POS 5 I have try many earbud and the mx400 be hands-down the best value for the money . the sound be crisp and well-balanced . they be also highly efficient so that they produce enough volume for noisy environment like airplane . what I especially love about these earbud be the way they reproduce bass . I be a bass player and I love the detail that these earbud show in the bass . with the mx400 I can listen to a song and immediately recognize `` he be play a Fender jazz use a heavy pick on flatwound string . '' they be that good . but that might not be for you . there be a lot of people who do not care about such thing and instead prefer exaggerated , underdamped bass . if that be you then skip the mx400 . to each he -lrb- she -rrb- own . as with any bud of this type the frequency response will vary depend on how tightly the driver couple with you ear canal . this depend on how far you press the bud into you ear , and what you ear be shape like . yes , there be better earbud out there , but for less than the cost of a medium pizza these be great . +427 Headphone POS 4 First of all , I do ALOT of research on canal\/earbud phone -lrb- include read all of these review and many other on other website -rrb- before settle on a pair for purchase . I be pretty much a audiophile however that do not mean I expect pefection with every purchase , I realize there be ALWAYS go to something that I wish sound , work or be design better . I be also a bargain shopper not willing to shell out $ 500 and up for headphone , mainly because I can not not afford it and I -lrb- like the rest of we -rrb- do not like be overcharge . that be say , let I start with that fact that I actually purchase the Sony mdr-ex51lp 's not the mdr-ex71sl 's . the reason ? after my research I discover there be not much difference between the 2 , save the short cord\/extension problem you will read about later and the fact that they carry they at best buy which make it easier to return they if necessary -lrb- I come across comment that state Amazon charge you if you decide to return the mdr-ex71sl 's -rrb- . let I start by say I be very satified with my purchase . I buy they about 3 week ago at best buy for $ 39.99 plus tax , roughly the same price Amazon be charge for the mdr-ex71sl 's . I be look for earphone that would block a significant amount of exterior sound , fit snugly in the ear and not fall out as well as produce a quality of sound I would appreciate . I can say all of those need be meet with my mdr-ex51lp 's . there be a few thing you should know about these earphone though . # 1 if you do not like have to fiddle with little thing to get great sound , do not buy these . the multus size silicon earbud covering take a little time to figure out . you must have a complete seal to hear clear bass so play with the size to see which one fit you . I actually luck out and the medium size -lrb- which be already place on the phone -rrb- fit my left ear perfectly give I a understanding of how they should fit . my right ear be not so lucky and after play around I find that the large size be the solution . # 2 you must understand that these phone work like ear plug . you have to fit these baby snugly in you ear or the bass be not distinct and the noise around you will be more audible and not as cleanly `` block out '' . a proper seal be a must !! now this be not nearly as hard or annoying as it sound and once it be do you 'll be happy you buy these . as a side note , the silicon earbud can get quite dirty if you do not use q-tip often so clean you ear ! also this `` ear plug '' sensation will take some get use to -lrb- for I a couple of day -rrb- so have patience . # 3 part of the complaint I note from other reviewer be the cord of the mdr-ex71sl , apparently it be quite short and design for ipod user and player with arm band capability . Sony 's solution be to include a excessively long extension cord that again apparently cause problem -lrb- read the rest of the review -rrb- with its connector . the mdr-ex51lp have the same cord design as the mdr-ex71sl 's -lrb- right side longer than the leave so that the cord can sit behind you head -rrb- save one distinct difference . the cord for the mdr-ex51lp have one long cord like every other pair of headphone you have ever own so it be much easier to deal with . however , due to the similiar behind the head design -lrb- right side longer than leave -rrb- , I do think purchase a clip be necessary to hold the cord in place . I find the extra length of the right side have too much slack and either get in the way or catch on clothing . this sometimes tug on the phone themselves , particularly on the left side . this become a nuissance . also the cord be pretty thin , no problem yet but due to experience in the past with other earphone I fear it could be in the future . # 4 most importantly , be the sound itself . now this be where thing get complicate . everyone have different taste as how they music should sound so you be go to get vary opinion . I find , with a good seal -lrb- I can not stress this enough -rrb- , the sound be much improve over standard earphone and earbud . I find the eq a little tinny at first but the balance can be even out with a bass booster , this allow capabilty for heavier bass sound . my player have 2 setting of bass boost and I find the first setting to be more than adequate , the 2nd be a bit too much bass for my liking . the external sound around you disappear when music be play and this allow for quiet listening as not to damage you now clean ear . this be key as I travel alot ! so overall , I would say that Sony have do a great job . if you want really great sound with the small size and convenience of earbud and you be tire of tinny treble drive phone then these be for you . but if you expect pristine quality sound and bass that bump you out of you chair I suggest you stick with over the head headphone or if you be willing to shell out $ 500 + for the top of the line then go for it . Shure 's ec5 's rock . but I , I would rather shell out $ 40 for earphone that give I just what I be look for . if you check out comparable earbud phone you 'll find you 'll end pay more for very simliar result in sound and other trade off of various problem , etc. . I check out Shure 's -lrb- ec2 & ec3 -rrb- as well as etymotic -lrb- er-6 -rrb- and there be minute difference in performance and design but huge difference in price !! final word , I rate these only 4 star because of the cord problem and the weak excuse for a cord case -lrb- do not bother it be too time consuming and will break eventually -rrb- but I be extemely please with my purchase and would highly recomend it to anyone look for a reasonably price pair of high end earbud phone . however , I would seriously recomend the following : Research all , physically check out all and then buy what you prefer . +788 Headphone POS 5 excellent performance for the price . good sound and excellent reception on AM and FM . two aa battery seem to last forever . excellent travel radio ; easy to use and easy to pack . this be we second one ; first one bit the dust after numerous drop ; amazing that it be able to take so many fall ; this must be call durability . +708 Headphone NEG 2 when these in-ear headphone be properly install -lrb- and get they in right be like a installation -rrb- the sound be amazing . I have hear part of song that I would never hear before . but the headphone suffer from two massive flaw . the first be that if the headphone move the tiniest bit out of you ear canal , the sound quality plummet . this be a huge problem because the cord be so long that it be guarantee to catch on something and jiggle the earbud . even when wrap up and out of the way , the cord will respond to the slightest movement and pop the earbud out of you ear . this be extraordinarily frustrating , all the more so because the sound be so good . I do not recommend these headphone to active people or to people that plan on move much at all . if , however , you do not plan on move much with these headphone , you be golden . also note : that little case that come with they should be use all the time ; the earbud piece will come off in you bag or pocket and the case help prevent that . it also help prevent just whipping out you ipod and listening , since you have to undo the case and store it , but that be the least of you problem with these headphone . +775 Headphone POS 5 have be listen to my ipod with the include headphone for so long , I figure that all in-ear headphone sound pretty crappy and could not pick up bass . when those break I buy these and WOW , there a huge difference ! everything sound much cleaner and it pick up a much higher range of sound that could not even be hear before . also , the shape of they be a much better design than the standard ipod headphone , they be more comfortable and be very secure , they will not fall out when you go run . I wish I would have upgrade a long time ago , . these be a lot better than I expect for the price . Might not be for the hardcore audiophile , but for around $ 20 it be definitely worth it to upgrade you ipod headphone to something that do not sound like garbage . +655 Headphone NEU 3 I currently use a Sony in-ear headphone that be about $ 45 and have good audio quality until walk about ten step and they begin to slip out . needless to say , this make work out with they really annoying as I be constantly push they back in . so I think these headphone would be good since they hook around you ear . let start with the good : the headphone come with a lot of ear tip to help give you a good secure fit . I find -lrb- as well as many of the other reviewer -rrb- the foam tip to be the best fit and most comfortable . when securely fit the headphone do provide good sound with rich high and mid and at least descent bass . now the bad : although the headphone never outright come out thanks to the fact that it hook around you ear , the suction be slowly lose which result be a weaker bass and overall sound . now I do not find it to be terribly bad and I do not have to retouch it too many time -lrb- maybe every 15min -rrb- which be far better than any other in-ear headphone I have ever use , and to be fair occasionally I do not have to touch it for much longer . what really bother I be after just two day I notice the cord be already fail . the sound quality would vary just from move the cord in a certain way . in addition , the control stop respond on my iPhone for about a hour until it work again . that may be okay if I have it for two year but not two day . I think for $ 75 I could purchase a quality headphone with no problem . I be afraid I be go to have to return it and I will likely be get the monster isport immersion in-ear headphone . +559 Headphone POS 4 i have to return these after one day because they be huge on the ear . there be no way to adjust the headband , so it keep fall off my head . i get irritated so i just return it . sound quality be pretty good , but i didnt have they long enough to say anything else about this . +129 Headphone NEU 3 low quality earbud , tiny bass sound , cheap treble . never could get crisp sound out of they even after mess with the ipod 's eq . not for audiophile . okay for listen to podcast . you get what you pay for . +209 Headphone POS 4 I go thru several brand , and a lot of cash , try to find that combination of function and form . these earbud come with 3 size of ` ear plug ' , and the small one actually fit . what a relief ! I take a while , but I finally find a pair of earbud that fit and sound great ! I have be listen to my mp3 player everywhere from work to the beach of Cancun , and have be extremely happy with the sound quality and comfort . you will not be disapppoint if you buy these . +18 Headphone POS 5 these be cool look headphone and really grap you ear well !! comfortable too ! sound quality be very good , deep bass , clear sound and no noise with high volume !! recommend !! +639 Headphone POS 5 great product ! high quality ! totally comfortable and master sound . also its appearence like `` rasta '' increase the value of this item +486 Headphone POS 5 just get these pair of headphone for my office , base on my husband 's recommendation . these be light , comfortable and very good quality , suitable for long duration use . one of the problem I have face with some other headphone : 1 . too big to fit on my head and keep dangle . 2 . Start hurt my head or ear after some time . 3 . audio quality suck . these have a snug fit for head of any size and do not hurt or irritate at all . love they . +774 Headphone POS 5 my package arrive early than expect . originally it be suppose to arrival one or two month from July 15 . then I rec would confirmation that it will arrive on July 28 , 2010 . I just rec would my package today on July 24 , 2010 and I be luvin my new headphone . +366 Headphone POS 5 seriously I have own many head phones\/earbuds from bose to skull candy and these be the best head phone i have use in a long long time !!! I tell my friend hey check these head phone out i get they for 50 $ ... he try they out and tell I they sound similar to he bose 105 $ earbuds . . then i say you know what the best part about they be ? there not 50 $ there 5 $ ... he think i be mess with he . . lol seriously the bass and noise caceling of these head phone be sooo surprising !! i couldnt believe the quality of they for the price !! I tell all my friend about these guy I be still in shock with the performance ... +648 Headphone POS 5 Have have this product about a month . have work flawlessly . self-adjusting headband have work fine . you have option of use rechargeable battery that come with unit , or if it run down -lrb- which have not be a issue yet -rrb- , use alkaline aa . sound have be excellent with tv , though if the tv signal be very marginal , there can be noise . have not try with music . appreciate the power switch on the phone , so I do not have to put it back in charge unit every night . also have volume control on phone , though you 'll get cleaner sound use volume control on tv . ear pad comfortable and I appreciate they not be type that wrap around ear , so I can here my cat get into trouble , etc. . good product , especially for price . +883 Headphone NEG 1 these be go back to Amazon . I have never see such poor sound quality , with no low frequency at all . my wife and I listen to rock music , and occasionally some pop in she case . nothing crazy or extraordinary . there be another review say the wire make a very high noise when rub on clothes or anything , and it be true . I like the idea of braid material on the wire , but it need to be develop , perhaps with teflon coating . +345 Headphone POS 5 the quality of these headphone be superb . Audio be crisp and clear . I love the freedom of walk around the house listen to music w\/o disturbing my wife as she watch tv etc. . +439 Headphone POS 4 despite the wide variation in review and the negative review from very knowledgable people , I decide to try these headphone . the selling point for I be the design of the headphone , and the brand also carry a lot of weight with I . my initial impression of these headphone be horrible . like so many of the other who post , I find the bass to be very , very weak , leave a tinny , high\/mid-heavy sound , which be very annoying . I decide to up the bass boost on the eq setting in my ipod , think that perhaps this would loosen up the driver in the headphone . I play they at full volume for a few minute , while not wear they . I come back for a listen after do this and they sound much better . I then experiment with the fit on my head . I find that if the ear pad be not well seat on my ear the perceive bass be heavily attenuate . now that I have work all this out , I have to say I be very , very impressed with the sound . I have compare they with other , around the neck headphone that I have , and I like the sound of the Sennheisers much better . I like the over the head comfort of this style , but it be somewhat annoying that I have to fiddle with the fit on my ear so much to get the sound right . I think the user must try to get the same kind of seal you get with full size headphone , with these smaller-pad style headphone . there be thing to like and dislike about this style of headphone - but I do not think you need to be scare off by concern of lack in bass . keep in mind that you be purchase a audiophile brand name , but the product be , like so many other thing , make in China . I think this be probably to be expect at this price point . +16 Headphone POS 5 I be worry about the price , but these headphone honestly have a better overall feel and sound than my skullcandy . they have unique bud that fit very well in my ear and do a excellent job of cut out sound . I have now have these for a few month and they still work fine . +917 Headphone POS 5 these work exactly as advertise . great reception throughout the house and in the back yard although they be use primarily at night to provide peace in the house . the head phone be very comfortable , they tend to fall off when I be bend over while work but I probably should not expect that much from they . they be great for they intend use . Easy to recharge and very long battery life . they be ok for music , they be great for tv . +408 Headphone POS 5 excellent buy and no regret per se , but those with spectacles -lrb- like myself -rrb- may find it a bit uncomfortable after some time and would need to take a break . but this must be the case with every ` cup ' like headphone out there . assume the more comfortable ` flat ' type be not suit for the higher end phone . five star for the performance in general and for this price in particular . = = +75 Headphone POS 4 these sound great , but like other have say , not much bass . I still think they sound great . if you be use these for home theater beware that the cord be not that long . I plug it into my receiver and be unable to sit down on the sofa because of the short cord . I will have to move my receiver one of these day , but overall for the price I still say you can not go wrong with these can . +25 Headphone NEG 1 this be my first post on amazon and I often read all of the review before purchase . OMG , these headphone be very overatted and I be not understand the other reviewer comment about how superior they be . the speaker be cheap , sound be no better than a $ 25.00 set . I guess if you want to be associate with gaga then buy they , otherwise seriously consider another brand . I waste my time , please dont do the same . these be a valentine present to my wife and I be embarrassed that I give they to she as we listen to the cheap headphone compare to the $ 100 one and think the cheap one beat the GAGA 's out . +192 Headphone POS 5 great headphone i use they all the time , the sound quality be great . battery last a very long time and the easiest way to do it be to buy recharchable aaa battery and you end up save money on battery . +725 Headphone POS 5 Works Great ! have older model for year - it be ok , but the reception be often fuzzy . this one be spot on from the get-go - of course , it cost more ... +969 Headphone NEU 3 I have difficulty connect the headphone to my cellphone . after some wiggle , the headphone work if I hold my cellphone still . if I move my cellphone , it would lose connection . +293 Headphone NEU 3 these be my first Sennheiser Headphones . I purchase they base upon the glowing review for they sound . I just also buy a pair of Sony 7506 headphone at about the same price range . the Sony 's blow these out of the water . the 7506 's have deeper bass , better imaging , extend treble , and be more sensitive . they also seem to mate better with my Yamaha receiver for impedance purpose . the Sennheiser hd-280 's will give you better sound than less expensive headphone , but both the Sony 7506 and v700dj model be overall better in sound , sensitivity , power handling , and distortion . +222 Headphone POS 5 I buy these headphone because Sennheiser be know to be one of the best maker of quality headphone with excellent sound . they have very comfortable ear pad , and a extra-super long cord . the sound reproduction be phenomenal ! Bass sound awesome and literally shake you ear . all this for the same price one would pay for a cheap set of earbud . excellent buy !!! +407 Headphone POS 5 I buy these earbud from my university bookstore and do not expect much for 9 buck and change , but I be prove wrong ! the song from these earbud be excellent . they beat in in-ear headphone by a mile , simulate surround sound . I have have these earbud for over 3 1\/2 month and the earbud be still do the job ... +626 Headphone NEG 1 I can not believe these get the kind of review they get . they sound horrible on every level . the earphone that come with my ipod so outdo these it be pitiful !! do not waste you money ! +484 Headphone POS 5 good value for the money . very nice sound quality and comfortable to wear for long period . +521 Headphone POS 4 I spend a lot of time read review look for a good set of ear phone or ear bud to use while work out . I like to run on the treadmill and have a problem where a lot of my sweat will run down into my ear and temporarily short out my ipod ear bud . after much comparison , these ear bud sound like they would fit the bill . I be not disappointed ! the great thing about these ear bud be that they swell up in the ear and block out the sweat while work out , they hold in the ear very well , they be considerably low price , they block out external sound very well ! I be recently read a article where a study be do by a university and find that you can only listen to you ipod -lrb- or other -rrb- for about 60 minute every day without damage you ear . if you turn down you volume you could extend that amount of time . that remind I many time where my ear start hurt after extend use of my ipod where I be listen to audiobook . the reason I mention this be that with these ear bud I be able to turn down the volume and still hear my audiobook . the main problem with listen to audiobook be that you have to turn up the volume enough to where you can make out the word over external sound . with these plug you be able to reduce the external sound , thus you can turn down you volume as well ! I find this extremely useful on long road trip where my 3 year old daughter listen to the dvd player in the back seat while I be in the front seat . these plug allow I to drown out the dvd player and focus on my audiobook without give I a headache from loud volume ! the deliver package only come with the ear bud , one set of ear foam plug already attach , and a extra set of ear foam plug for later use . the only draw back be that after 3 week of use one of the ear cut out and stop work . I be very hard on the product and have have the ear plug pull out of my ear and the connector yank out of my ipod many time . I go back and read some more review ... I find that other people have this same problem . I go online and find that I might be able to solder a new connector on . I decide that I love the ear plug but I do not want to purchase 12 set per year . that would add up to enough money to buy a quality pair that would last I much longer and give better sound . I have a soldering iron . I have do a little bit of soldering , I be by no means good at it ... I buy a 1\/8 '' stereo audio connector from Radio Shack and give it a shot . I cut out the extra non-copper fiber that would prevent good conductivity and solder it together . it work great now ! we 'll see how long it last this time : -rrb- I would give it 5 star if the connector be better ! +686 Headphone POS 5 these bud will not stay in you ear if you go for a run , but I use they at work every day , in one ear only , and the sound quality be very good . I plug they into a cheap set of computer speaker that sound awful alone . the sound be so much better through the earbud . unlike my co-worker ' headphone , these be silent to everyone else . when I take they off I can not hear a peep from they . my only complaint be that the 4 ' cord be not long enough to plug directly into the computer under my desk . +233 Headphone NEG 1 I have hope with this product as many of the review be positive . I should have listen to the critique more . out of the box on my first run you 'll notice that if you so much as brush the wire that connect to the plug you will get static . I will say that the fit and comfort be there and as long as that wire be not touch -lrb- tough to do while run -rrb- the sound be good . after about 6 run though you realize that the speaker themselves be hold in by the fragile piece of rubber surround the speaker . once the rubber move , the speaker literally fall out . you be leave to attempt to put the speaker back in and snap the rubber around they like a rubber band . apparently I must have do this incorrectly as my right earpiece no longer work . for a $ 30 product I be not go to mess around with return and warranty , instead I be still now in the market for good headphone to use while run . my clear advice , run away from this product . +394 Headphone POS 5 I get what I order -lrb- rk-138 Audio Connecting Cable -rrb- exactly when it be estimate to arrive and it work perfectly - can not ask for more than that . +638 Headphone NEU 3 good sound and bass . it pick up a little interference noise from my elliptical machine and expensive . I may go for wire headphone than wireless +11 Headphone POS 5 it be absolutely right to refer the review . this headphone with 20 year history by SONY be brilliant and reliable one . I and my friend be so happy with this , it be the best headphone that we have ever have !!!!! +296 Headphone POS 5 I have be look for a good headset to use while talk on the phone to customer when I work from home . the clarity of this set be very good . it also come with several adapter so I can use it with my mp3 player and my computer . I be very pleased so far . +544 Headphone POS 4 I work the night shift on the floor of a manufacturing facility where I be surround by modern machinery , electric panel , computer , a wi-fi network , row of fluorescent lighting and concrete block wall , so I be hesitant to try a wireless headset . my main listen interest be sport talk , ballgame , news program , and talk show . the headphone be hook into my satellite radio boom-box via the headphone jack -lrb- with the volume on the boom-box turn up all the way -rrb- . well let I tell you , I receive great reception and quality at 90 yard -lrb- and that be with about 50 machine between myself and the transmitter -rrb- . only the slightest crackling and minor hiss can be hear at that distance . be about 60 yard away from the transmitter with a concrete block wall and 30 machine between , the audio be sufficient enough with some crackling , hissing and breakup . while in my main work area -lrb- about 2000 sq. ft -rrb- and in direct line of the transmitter , the audio be spot on with absolutely no crackling , no hiss and no interference . I can not `` accurately '' comment on the music quality b\/c I do not have `` a ear '' for it , but it be as good as any ` wire ' headset or ear bud that I have own . the placement of the dial do not present a problem for I . I have no difficulty adjust the volume , tuner or on-off switch , even with work glove on . these headphone be worn daily for a minimum of 8 hr . a day , and do not lose a charge . you can tell when the battery be die when the audio quality start to diminish . they be plenty comfortable -lrb- even w \/ safety glass on -rrb- with ample padding . my only complaint -lrb- and it may be genuine to I -rrb- be the fit . I have a good size melon -lrb- 7 5\/8 -rrb- and these seem to wiggle a bit while I be work . I do some lifting and reach at work and while do so , I sometimes have to try to keep my head level so the headphone do not slide down or back . again , this may be unique to I as I may have stretch these beyond they capacity . = -rrb- I highly recommend these headphone and would have give they a 5-star review have I just use they in a `` idle '' position . +249 Headphone POS 4 I use my portapro with a cmoy amp I build with my sony walkman mp3 player . they sound great for the money -lrb- a little bassy but you can que it down -rrb- . I like that Koss get it right and have not change a thing in many year !! very comfortable for long listening . not a real pretty headphone set but they do the job well . quality seem to be good . I think with a little care they will last for year . I like they & I use they everyday . +485 Headphone POS 4 good headphone for watch tv . Easy to use , I just plug it into my headphone jack on my tuner , which be connect to my tv . the only problem I have be that the headphone be lose and can fall off if and when I bend over to pick something up ... +746 Headphone POS 5 the Sennheiser RS140 Wireless Headphones be phenomenal . we have 2 headset on one charger . I set the television volume low -lrb- or even mute the tv -rrb- and my husband and I adjust we headphone to we individual comfort level . they work in every room of we home so I can prepare dinner and not miss my favorite show . in addition , the sound be crisp , clear and enhance . it be a wonderful product and I highly recommend it . this be not just for hear impaired . +581 Headphone POS 4 as expect with bose , these headphone provide excellent sound . the balance between the lower and higher register be excellent . listen to Bach , I could hear the violin and the cello with equal clarity . the headphone do a good job of block out sound so I definately discourage use of this product while drive a automobile -lrb- however use at home when the wife be around it be another matter - smack ! -rrb- . the weight and bulk of the headphone limit it be use somewhat and I would not recommend use these headphone during a heavy workout . admittedly , I have not price this product -lrb- it be a gift -rrb- with other product and my four star be conditional upon this product be within a relevant range of the competition . this be my first pair of quality headphone , I have to say that for use in the office work on a spreadsheet , there be nothing I have try that be better . +823 Headphone POS 4 so i buy this headphone because i just want something to use when i work out . these be a pretty good pair of headphone i have have they for about 3month now and have not have any type of problem . and for they price they sound pretty good . I like to use the in ear one more only because they be more portable . but overall they both be pretty good pair of headphone and especially for they price +910 Headphone NEU 3 the sound be excellent . very true in all frequency . however , the metal headpiece be not that comfortable and the it constantly become unhinge from the the plastic secure piece . next time I will stick with the Sennheiser p100 . +773 Headphone POS 5 love these headphone . great clear sound . as a sound technician , sound quality be important to I . I would use these on the board if I have to . love they +594 Headphone NEU 3 listen quality be not the greatest and earphone be not comfortable . needless to say that i do not win best gift award that year +431 Headphone POS 5 pro : these be great headphone . they be extremely loud and give out great sound . on my laptop i would normally have my volume at 100 % and have problem hear it -lrb- use on the ear headphone -rrb- , but with these i need my laptop around 25 % and i can not hear anything outside of the music playing . con : these headphone be over the ear and if they would be just a little bit farther from the ear they would not start to press against my ear . after about 6 hour it start to hurt the edge of my ear -lrb- but it may be just I , because i have some big ear -rrb- . but this usually go away after 5 min of have they off and they i be ready for another hour . hope i help . +108 Headphone POS 4 I purchase these to run with , as the ear bud fall out . for run and exercise these thing work excellently . good sound , comfortable , and -lrb- most importantly -rrb- they do not fall out . now when I wear they to the gym I notice they look a bit odd as they follow you ear contour and thus stick out a bit - but consider all the other weird outfit that be at the gym I feel fully comfortable with these on . +239 Headphone NEG 2 I buy these to wear while work out and like they until I start sweating and immediately the shock start . every 10-20 seconds a small yet very annoying electric shock will zap the top of you ear , render they useless for workout . they be fine for other use , just do not sweat in they . +120 Headphone NEU 3 drop audio level greatly when extra device be plug in . but that be the nature of the beast . use tv , airport express , and Logitech power speaker . come with one cable no 2nd cable one end of the unit be male as oppose to all female port . just very short length on that part . +628 Headphone NEG 1 my son use these at we local library , where we assume that they have experience a lot of wear and tear . within a couple of time of my son wear they , one of the earphone pad have come off , and would not stay on . give the size of the pad , and how hard the earphone be without the pad , they would have be too uncomfortable to wear without both pad . I guess that we could have glue it back on , but , we be not impress by the fit , either . we end up buy the `` Kidz Gear Wired Headphones '' , and have be much happier with they . +95 Headphone POS 4 I think these headphone sound great , but they be a little tight on the head . I read some other review that mention it , but think , `` maybe they just have a big head ? '' . I think my head be pretty normal size , but these headphone be pretty uncomfortable . after about 1 to 2 hour you have to adjust they to a different spot because you start get ear fatigue , which eventually radiate to the whole area around you ear . once you take the headphone off the pain go away , so no permanent damage ; -rrb- I use these for work , so I be wear they for around 6 hour a day , so I have get use to how uncomfortable they be and consider I be use earbud I be excite to have the hd 202 . if you can not deal with the aforementioned pain , I would suggest a different pair of headphone , because even though they be affordable you will not enjoy they for long . +656 Headphone POS 4 when I get these first , they be excellent ! Philips have not let I down before . the sound be rich with great bass , but I will say that they hurt my ear for about a week . after that I get use to the feel of they . as for durability , they last about a year , now there be only one phone working . of course , if I fiddle with the wire I can get both work , but I can not bring they anywhere anymore . I really do like these though , so its a pity . +612 Headphone POS 4 I think that the volume could be better it be not very loud . I could be jammin a little more . but , they be comfortable and they do not rest directly on my ear -lrb- maybe I have small ear -rrb- . the headphone have a very long cord I can actually sit on my sofa and hook they up to my ps3 . good product ! +658 Headphone POS 5 the head set be better than expect . love everything about they , I can even go outside at quite a distance and still the clarity be very good . glad I make this purchase . the sound be great for watch american Idol !! +834 Headphone NEG 2 Ugghhh I buy these to replace my broken Sony mdr-888 and they be horrible . it can not handle bass whatsoever . it have very shallow bass and plenty of high frequency . I be return these immediately . I hate to admit it but I switch back to my old ipod headphone because it sound better - believe it or not . they fit nice and snug but the sound be nothing compare to my old headphone . +647 Headphone POS 5 I have several high quality product to choose from , but primarily this one along with set from Amphony . we home be heavily electronicize , with several 5.4 ghz product , wireless networking and a phone system , and we live in a high density metropolitan area , so I opt for infrare -lrb- ir -rrb- transmission since it can not be interfere with like radio-frequency -lrb- rf -rrb- system . overall , the experience have be exceptional : - the quality of the audio be wonderful , and there be user-selectable setting for ambience and material . - I be use the analog input for the input from my receiver , and the optical input for the output from my 24 '' iMac ; the optical input require specialty cable , as do the coaxial input . - reception be excellent , although it worsen if I sit 90 degree off center ; we unit be on a swivel tv , minimize this kind of problem . - I be tall , with a fairly large head , but the fit of the headphone have be very good , as well as feeling fairly light , and I have have no issue with comfort . - we use rechargeable battery around the home , and the unit use aa battery , as well as come with high-quality Sony rechargeable battery and a built-in recharger . - review from several online source be very positive , the only middling review from a self-professed audiophile who prefer the Amphony headset . con -lrb- minor -rrb- : - replace the battery be a little cumbersome , as I require a small prop , like a letter opener , to pop out the battery . - unlike rf headphone , you can walk outside the range of these , either via walk far away , or by walk into another room , but that be the primary issue with this type of headphone , and I buy it with the awareness . +176 Headphone POS 5 I have never leave a review before but could not resist let every one know what a great product these little bud be . I buy these bud after the original bud to my ipod finally break . what a great investment !! I just get back from a trip to Costa Rica and these thing be simply amazing on the airplane . I never use my ipod on the plane before because I could never hear without turn the volume up all the way and I still could not hear all that well . I admit I have to turn up the volume a tad with these bud , but not that much . -lrb- you do have to push the tip into you ear to drown out the surround sound . -rrb- every time my husband want to talk to I he have to tap I on the shoulder . these be also great if you have small ear canal . the extra small tip be wonderful and they do not keep fall out of my ear like the Ipod bud do . I also find they very comfortable when I wear they at night in bed when my insomnia kick in . at first I think the sound quality be not all that great , even after `` break in , '' but the more I have use these puppy the more the sound quality have improve . finally , I love the cord ! it do not tangle and seem to be very well make even though it be thin . over all , great product and worth every penny . I buy the blue one and may even buy the pink one to `` color coordinate ! '' +37 Headphone POS 4 for the price this be a fantastic earbud . very stylish , and good isolation as long as you be not on the train too much . the noise from the train could leak in , but you will still be able to hear you music well without pump the volume . +796 Headphone NEU 3 well ... I get the item and it be NEW . on here I think it be state that the charger and what not be not include . BUT IT WAS !!! it be NEW in the box with everything and factory seal . well ... I have only listen to they a couple of time so far . they sound good and work good ! I will admit that and do not get I wrong . and I have even use they with my Iphone dock to my Sony stereo , which by the way be another half useless item , that I have beef with other than docking my phone and listen to Slacker stereo on it from my subscription . the headphone work through the wall and onto outside with the door close . I have even go to my car with they on and it be not right outside my front door . after a certain point , it be intermittent sound , but that be expect - look how far I go ! I be not expect ANY SOUND where I go . but I get some , and as I come back and get closer again to my apartment , it come in clear as a whistle ! but hey ! I be in a apartment complex . but these be the reason I be give this 3 star instead of 4 or 5 though . they be really bulky to wear . and when I see they on the website , I look at the ear cushion . I think they be some type of leather , or a rubber type of material like other company 's headwear . the description do not talk about the cushion . well ... when I see what the ear cushion be when I open the box , I be kind of mad for that kind of money , that they would put this soft material like ear cushion . and it also specifically state in the instruction that you should change these cushion OFTEN . that mean you gotta come out of you pocket over and over to keep on BUYING ear cushion for this thing , like you be rich or something . and I be sure it aint CHEAP either , cos these AINT CHEAP HEADSETS ! that be if you can find they somewhere . I have not look yet though . but I clearly be not happy about that at all and I sincerely think about send they back at first . but I keep they , because it be a good buy , compare to other place that sell they . I look before I buy them ... and after I buy them . that be the ONLY REASON why I keep THESE HEADSETS , because I see what the actual price be go for and it be WAY more than what I pay on Amazon at the time . and I do mean WAY more !!!! but for now , they be just sit there collect dust . so ... whenever when ! +478 Headphone POS 5 EMPTYSTRING +414 Headphone POS 4 I get these earphone for $ 5 , and it be definitely worth it . they be pretty good and have nice sound quality -lrb- at least as good as the ipod earphone but probably a bit better -rrb- . they have a weird bump on they to try and make they fit in you ear better which get annoy at time but overall they be not bad . so if you be look for some decent earphone and want to spend a small amount of money , I would recommend these . +671 Headphone POS 5 I have have these well over a month now . these be superior headphone with superior sound quality . my primary reason for purchase these be gaming . I play America 's Army , Guild Wars , and world of Warcraft . in America 's Army I be able to hear footstep and people reload from a far greater distance than with my Zalman 5.1 's -lrb- which be $ 90 -rrb- or with my Logitech open ear headphone . the accuracy of the shot be even better than my 5.1 's . which be amazing consider there be only 2 speaker in the 555 set . I could hear footstep behind I and spin around before they come around the corner , in insurgent Camp I could be typing on the upstairs pc and distinctly hear people in the radio room or in the garage . even though they be not design for gaming they play the part better than any of those under $ 100 gaming headset you find in most store . +766 Headphone POS 4 the in you ear headphone get a little get use to cancel out noise pretty well good bass though some frequency might be miss altogether ? +990 Headphone NEG 1 delivery date be Dec 20 . no sign of it and no option to contact the seller on my account . help ? +609 Headphone POS 5 pro : sound Quality , Comfort , Easy Recharge , Long battery hour con : Hiss Noise during silent scene , not great bass +635 Headphone NEG 2 I receive this item rather fast , honestly forget I even order it . I do not know if I should trust it or not consider other review I have see about it . I open the package , connect it and hope for the best and to my surprise it work as expect . I could pause , play , shuffle , go to next , previous , etc. , all with the exception of the volume control because I be use it on a android device . I be happy with it initially but I know something be go to go wrong the moment I touch it . the build on the adapter be not all that great . the line feel weak and flimsy but the button all seem solid enough . I know from the start that I have to take good care of it to avoid it break but even my extreme caution could not help it from break . two day after I receive it the line come to the point where I have to turn it to the perfect angle to get good audio out of it and avoid move it at all cost . that be the problem though , you have to move the adapter in order to use the function -lrb- volume , play , pause , etc. -rrb- after a while no matter what angle I would turn it too all I could hear be faint screech . I figure I get what I pay for and toss it in the pile of worthless thing . my advice would be to look for a better product out there and avoid this one if possible . I give it two -lrb- 2 -rrb- star simply because it do what it be suppose to do but the lifespan be incredibly bare . with that be say I hope you do the smart thing and look past this item . I be pretty sure there be greater product out there that be well worth the price . +78 Headphone NEU 3 I just receive px-100 from Amazon to replace my old white px100 , which be break lately . after 20 hour continuous `` burn-in '' with professional burn-in cd , I be disappointed with this black version . compare to my old white px100 , the black version seem to be lack transparency , the music sound muffle , many detail lose . it do have better -lrb- stronger -rrb- bass , but that do not justify the loss of clarity and transparency . if you be go to buy px100 , I would highly recommend the white version , it be only $ 1.00 more in Amazon . +783 Headphone NEG 2 I must say that the sound quality of this phone be really good . however , when it come down to comfort this headphone be anything but comfortable . if you be a runner that like to run for 1-2 hour and listen to music then I do not recommend this headphone . not sure if the people who give this a 5-star rating have ever use this headphone , because once you use it for more than 30 minute you ear will start burn . the headphone be strong , but that make it rough on the ear . I be actually search for a better heaphone -lrb- perhaps a sennheiser that will satisfy all need -rrb- as I be write this review . +404 Headphone POS 5 this be a damned good set of earbud for the price . good sound with decent amount of bass ... moldable to you ear . you really can not beat this thing . under $ 20 ?? come on . . buy it already ! +42 Headphone NEG 1 I would not recommend this product for several reason . first , it be very inconvenient to install or remove the battery . second , it be very cumbersome to line up the connector on the headset with its mate on the charge stand . and lastly , the maximum volume obtainable on the headset be too low even with the battery fully charge . +953 Headphone NEG 2 the audio quality of the ne 700 's be superior to every other set I have listen to ; dynamic range , image quality , sound isolation ... it be just a shame they keep break . the people at NuForce get a `` a '' for effort and ungrudging send 3 set of replacement before `` promising '' a full refund -lrb- still wait for the refund , its only be a couple of week so I be not worried yet -rrb- . each set have the same failure , death of a channel -lrb- usually the right -rrb- . unfortunately the failure can not be attribute to abuse , I have a cheap set of Jabra 's that I wear while do any type of physical activity that I have own for year . the ne 700 's be reserve for list around the house , air travel -lrb- which be where I appreciate they the most due to the great noise isolation -rrb- or while I be sit work on the computer . I would have give NuForce one star have it not be for the exceptional customer support effort and the audio quality but I would not recommend purchase this product until the durability issue be address . read through other review , my problem be not a anomaly . I hope anyone else that buy this product have better luck than I . +673 Headphone POS 5 I want to let everyone know that this be a great item . Perfect for work out or run because now you do not have to deal with the wire . I have never see a wireless set of headphone ! highly RECOMEND !!!! +976 Headphone NEG 2 the shape of the ear bud take a lot of get use to . there be more comfortable over-the-ear model available than this . +644 Headphone POS 5 these head phone be very nice and comfortable . the sound quality be great . when you first take they out of the package though they look like guitar head phone at the end , like they would plug into a amp . or something but you just take that off and it plug into anything else like a ipod . +101 Headphone POS 4 the most amazing property of these headphone be that it be almost like you be wear nothing . they be light and comfortable and the pressure of the ear pad be adjustable on both side . these be probably the most comfortable headphone I have ever worn and I have own many set of headphone from Sony , Panasonic , Seinheiser , Ultrasone ... the extra set of head pad above the ear reduce the pinch on the ear you get with most headphone . that say , the sound quality -lrb- here I be use the word ` quality ' literally , as in flavor , not how good the sound be -rrb- be punchy and bass-y , at the sacrifice of high end and midrange . I test these headphone with a Sony hi-md lossless minidisc player with a flac audio source . these headphone be what I would call `` teenager headphone . '' they have sound property that kid would look for . if you listen to a lot of music that have valuable high frequency sound property you may wish to look elsewhere . the high and midrange on these headphone be a little muddy . +872 Headphone POS 4 I have be use these ear bud and I like they both at home and at work . they work well to reduce the constant hum of nearby computer , distant conversation etc. . they help I keep my train of thought . I also like the fact that I can save my ear because I do not have to turn up music as high . chatter beyond 10ft away mostly disappear . I be surprise by the static buzz they produce , but the noise cancel outweigh that . type seem to stand out as the most audible noise . it seem to work best on constant rumble or hum noise . it seem as if everything noisy around you get push back 20 foot . UPDATE : the left earbud stop work . Sony will gladly replace the set for a processing fee of $ 46 . I be downgrade this product from 4 star to 1 star . +49 Headphone POS 5 I recently purchase a pair of the Klipsch IMAGE s4 and have be use they for about two week now . and I must say I be very impress by this product . my previous set of earbud be make by v-moda and , although I enjoy they , I feel there be a bit to much bass for my liking . when the V-modas 's bit the dust I base my purchase of the Klipsch on the fact that the stereo system in the office where I work have Klipsch speaker and I like the clean open sound of they . I figure I would take a chance that the earbud have that same quality . the image s4 seem to I to have a wider soundstage than the v-moda . what I be hear more clearly now be the rhythm guitar in some song and the background instrumentation in other that I would never hear before . the best part be that the Klipsch bud do not skimp on the bass response . it be there . it be noticeable . and it be clean . I enjoy anything from classical to country to jazz to classic rock and these bud do justice to they all . my only problem be with the silicone tip . I can not really blame Klipsch because I have never come across a tip that be `` really '' comfortable . for I the large tip be too big , the small one too small and the medium one not real comfortable . I have order a set of the Comply tx-100 tip in the hope it may be the solution . great sound separation with excellent bass response . great bud for the price ! +227 Headphone POS 5 I pay $ 200 for these headphone and since then my father have buy a pair and 3 of my friend , too . I wont argue with any reviewer as the specification of the headphone speak for themselves , and I guaruntee that these headphone can out-sample any stereo system that you have . here be the spec : 18hz to 28,000 Hz @ 90db . what do you think the average human ear be capable of hear ? Approx . 40hz to 22,000 hz . I use they for gaming , music , I even use they as ear-muff when outside in the winter listen on my Sony MD. . I have never need a amplifier with these headphone . I run they straight from my sound card and any other device and they perform very nicely . the hd-570 's comfort and quality be uncomparable to any headset on the market . sennheiser represent professional quality at a price that be worth the cost . +317 Headphone NEG 1 I order these on Dec 22 , and on Feb 15th the right side quit work . I have only ever use these lightly sit at my desk in my office . I try to get assistance from Jlabs but they wont provide support without a serial number , which be on the manual instead of the product . -lrb- why would I keep the manual for a set of earbud ? -rrb- I even do the proper recommend burn in . they sound a bit better than the stock ipod earbud -lrb- but not dramatically so -rrb- , but I do like that they noise cancel do work really well . it be nice to have in my busy office . the fact that I cant get assistance for the way these just give out because of not have keep all of the paperwork seem like a way for the manufacturer to use a loophole and avoid stand behind they product . bottom line : while I like they when they be work properly , they be extremely fragile -lrb- or poorly make -rrb- and the company 's product support be lack . +826 Headphone POS 4 I be hopeful about this product after try so many other option to keep my iPhone cord from tangle . when I see this I be not sure how I would take to have something attach to my cord when use they . I order this anyway cause I would try everything else . it be the best thing I have try so far but its not perfect . the cord do not stay inside the channel . they keep struggle to get out which be annoying but I do not think there be a way to avoid it cause the cord do need to be able to be pull out if you want to use the item as a phone stand . when I want to wrap the cord up it be relatively easy , when the cord stay in the channel . just pull the bud down and then wrap the cord around the middle and tuck in the plug ! now I gotta find a way to keep the iPhone earbud to stay in my ear ! +52 Headphone POS 5 I see many people complain about the tuning signal . maybe it be the individual usage and different type of wall and area , but I put these through the real test . my finding be once I find the signal it lock in no matter if I go around my house or down the street . I get at least 100 foot outside my stereo and no drop of signal or loss of sound . I keep the charges\/antenna up on top of the cabinet and some fm channel may need tweek at certain point , but CD 's and digital music once lock in work great . the stereo seperation be fantastic \/ these phone be worth every penny pay for it . +646 Headphone POS 5 okay , because I have go through load of headphone , from cord , to wireless , on ear , over ear , and in ear . in ear suck , so I will not even argue about that , these headphone be over ear . . or on ear ... do not really matter . they be AWESOME ! only thing I suggest be get a ft. headphone extender , cause any headphone you get will have a short cord , include these headphone . secondly , do not be a idiot and be careful , just order a second pair , because the sound be great ! just have to replace mine , I step on the cord and bent the metal ... so now i have to have it just right to get it to play ... but they be just plain great ... forget Dr. Dre beat , yeah , they would be awesome to be able to replace the cord instead of the whole pair of headphone ... but these be 7.99 ... the beat be over 200 buck ... forget that . +384 Headphone POS 5 I have have this dac\/amp for ~ 6 month now and I have to say that it be worth every penny . to anyone that be on the fence due to the extremely sharp , ear pierce high , do not worry ! the amp have a break-in period . after this time the sound even out perfectly . this time vary I be sure but my time be no more than a couple of day listen . I go about shorten this by leave music play through my headphone all day , even though I be not present . on to sound . I be not a audiophile by any means -lrb- though I do possess a obsession with the idea -rrb- . the sound quality through my headphone , beyerdynamic dt 990 headphone , be spectacular . I believe it be the best I have ever hear my music sound . the sound be extremely punchy , and the high be absolutely sublime after the break-in . the low be there but not overstate , as can be the case with some amp . overall I think this amp\/dac have a great balance that I do not get with my other setup . obviously you choice of headphone will greatly impact you experience with any dac . Mine be great for I , but other may find they too bright , or not strong enough in certain area . what I can say , be that after make the jump to a good set of headphone and a dac I will never go back . it be like have the band cram inside you head . you can hear every instrument at any give time . you do not realize how much be lose in normal sound card , or cheap speakers\/headphones until you listen to a good set on a decent dac for a day or two . it leave you with a feeling you can not shake . if you purchase this unit and use it with a decent set of headphone I can guarantee you will not be disappoint with it . +613 Headphone POS 5 I just receive it today and I see no problem , and hear no problem . I use this so I can play my piano keyboard without anyone else hearing and for that purpose I have no issue . +719 Headphone POS 5 first , let I say this . these headphone use a active , power noise cancel system . you must turn it on . if you do not , well ... then yes , they sound a bit weak . turn THEM ON ... it have the feature , use it . I would consider myself a audiophile and these be , far and away , the best set of headphone I have ever own . any pair of headphone have to pass a few test for I : dark side of the Moon , Into the Mystic , Cinnamon Girl , u2 's Joshua Tree . these headphone blow any other set I have ever own totally out of the water . great high , thunder low , and the noise cancellation work great . will it eliminate everything ? no , of course not . sit at my desk in my office today , however I can tell you that it pretty much eliminate 90 % of the background noise . catch they on sale , but I would have gladly pay full price for they . I have be set on a pair of bose , but after a final comparison , there be no comparison . if you need some good headphone , these be for you . +997 Headphone POS 5 I have be professionally record for 15 year , and have own these since day 1 . I use these headphone both in the concert hall and in the studio . I recently buy a second pair , just so I have a spare for the day that my first pair die . I highly recommend these headphone for all you recoding and listen need . after 15 year of continual use , the only thing start to happen be that the cover over the foam be just now start to separate . but , I fully expect they to last another 15 year at least . +661 Headphone POS 5 I have spend all day revisit my music collection . this be a excellent pair of headphone for the price . one note to potential buyer : sennheiser px 100 's be open headphone , which mean you will hear sound in you environment and , depend on the volume , other will hear what you be listen to . +193 Headphone POS 5 great sound , especially the bass . the sound insulation be very impressive , when the speaker be put together , you can not hear any noise come out unless you be really blast the music . the cord be very well design . it be thick enough that you be not go to damage anything if you accidentally roll over it in you chair , and the coiled design make it great for move around . they be also extremely comfortable , and dont make my ear hurt or hot . I have a large head , and you can jack these out to fit even the largest head , yet they still fit snugly on my small-headed room mate . fantastic headphone , I recommend they to everyone . +190 Headphone POS 5 the j3 Micro earbud be fantastic . to anyone look for some great earbud look no further the quality of theses earbud for the money be unsurpassed . I will be buy another pair of these just to have a spare . great job jlab . oh and to anyone talk about the tiny sound . learn how to put they in you ear , it make all the difference this be the case with all the micro earbud I have try , they must be seat in you ear properly . +41 Headphone POS 5 I get these bad boy on special for $ 20 and that include shipping too . I normally go with earbud because they do not hurt the bone in my ear , however these stay comfy for a dew hour and sound AMAZING . seriously these headphone be a steal at the price i get they for , they be so clean and loud , with plenty of bass and treble . they be versatile and can play all type of music and speak word clearly . they be soo good that now the search be on to find the clearest most intense music i can , watch OUT SOUNDCLOUD and GROOVESHARK ... . . here I come !!!!!!!!!!!!! +155 Headphone POS 5 I be so glad I purchase a set of headphone from Sennheiser . other noise be block out while the information -lrb- music or reading -rrb- come through clearly ! I would recommend they for anyone who want clear , distinct sound . +892 Headphone POS 5 I buy this to convert my sennheiser headphone to a gaming capable device . this item allow any nice headphone to become a headset . pro : quality sound con : not able to grip thick headset cable . however it can clip to clothing . +98 Headphone POS 5 it be great especially for the price . I enjoy this earbud . +754 Headphone NEG 2 over the past 5 year , I have own 6-7 different pair of earbud headphone range in price , and decide to buy the jlab j3m base on positive review , price and a desire to have a good pair of earbud with a build in microphone . after a few month of ownership , at this price point , I would say that the j3m be decent in term of sound quality -lrb- some fit issue aside -rrb- , but have other issue which would make I not a repeat purchaser . - the first pair I receive break on the second day -lrb- the earbud\/speaker separate from the plastic cone\/casing , disconnect the wire -rrb- . however , I be thrill with jlab 's customer service , as they replace the earphone free of charge and very quickly . that kind of service score bonus point with I and assist my impression of jlab . - for the most , these headphone be as advertise . the sound quality be decent , but the design of the earbud make it difficult to get the right in-ear seal necessary to get the best sound . have own lot of earbud over the year , I have be familiar with the different type of attachment , but the issue be more with the length of the earpiece itself . the piece that the earbud attach to be too short , and even with the right attachment will not allow itself to be positioned properly\/deep enough for the best-sounding seal . while everyone 's ear be different -lrb- and I prefer a earbud that can be place deep in the ear -rrb- , I have not have success with this pair . when the bud be hold into the ear , you can get close to the right seal , and the sound , in my opinion , be slightly better than the Sony $ 40ish earbud , but not as good as the Shure e2c or the etymotic er6us . on the positive side , the cable feel sturdy and do not get tangled easily . no issue there so far . - the microphone do not work on my set . I be not sure whether it be because I have a iPhone 4 and there be some compatibility issue , but when plug into the iPhone , call be distorted and people I be speak to can not hear I . when I disconnect the headphone and speak into the phone itself , the same call be perfect -lrb- so it be not a iPhone 4 reception issue or anything like that -rrb- . since I have already have to replace one set , I be not bother to replace this pair in the hope that the mic will work . overall , I think this set be decent in term of sound quality , but I would not buy another pair if my current set break . I feel like other product at a similar price might be a better option . I have find the etymotic er6us to have the highest sound-quality and best fit of the recent pair I have own , though the cable be thin and break after less than a year of use . the Shure e2c be also a good pair both in term of sound and construction , but one earbud break randomly with no apparent damaging . that be say , I would most likely try another Shure product or another manufacturer before go back to JLab . +986 Headphone POS 5 I have try several headphone for work out , but they all pretty bad . I hate the set that go into you ear because I sweat a lot and they seem to fall out plus they do not have a good bass sound . I also do not like the big head phone with the hook around you ear because they be uncomfortable and the sound quality be sub par . but the Philips SHS5200 be awesome great comfort -lrb- very light weight , barely feel like you have it on -rrb- and the sound be loud and clear and great bass almost as good as bose but way more affordable . I highly recommend this to anyone that be look for great sound quality and comfort for headphone for you workout . +798 Headphone NEG 1 overprice , overpackage and very uncomfortable . I be almostinsult at how bad they be . with all the other hassle , i do not even care if they sound good . asseble the earpiece be like do brain surgery . lame . you can do way better for much less money . try jbud for 20 $ . +524 Headphone NEG 2 too uncomfortable and hard to hear if there be any outside noise . it would be better if they be smaller and would fit nice and snug inside my ear . +895 Headphone NEU 3 these sound pretty good for $ 15 dollar headphone but beware of one thing ... the power output of you device and here 's why . to make decent sound headphone at a lower cost , they must sacrifice the magnet quality . when you have a less efficient magnet , it require more power from the device to move the magnet , and thus the speaker driver . these sound ok with my creative zen and I could not seem to get the sound loud enough to drown out outside noise . then I try my studio , higher quality headphone with be 3x the size with a 50mm driver and it be significantly louder with the same device , which it could only do because of the magnet quality . I try they with a ipod , and because they have a high power output , I could get the volume I need from these , but it may be different for any non ipod device . so if you be use these with a ipod , do not fret and go for it , they sound great , especially at this price . however , beware that they may not potentially meet you need if it be not a ipod or smaller device . +802 Headphone POS 5 sound quality be amazing . noise reduction be pretty good too , can not hear anything once I have these bad boy on . +724 Headphone POS 4 really good investment . they work extremely well , do not hurt my ear , and I do not have to pay too much . if the price seem to good to be true , trust I , it be a good deal . I get it within a week , and I have have it 3 week now . no problem . +361 Headphone NEG 1 I order these headphone despite read poor review of they here . I should have heed the warning ! I think these reveiwer be be picky and they could not be that bad . they be ! the volume control need to be turn way up - past the safety level set for my player - and most annoying , the wire rub and you can hear the crackling sound in you ear . the wire as review , be very thin and I can see they might wear and break in a fairly short time . all in all these headphone stink and Sony should be ashamed of themselves for even sell they . I use to buy only Sony product , but this allegiance be obviously misplace . do yourself a favor and buy a pair of cheap headphone - you 'll be happier than you will with these . +178 Headphone POS 5 First off I would like to say that these headphone have amazing sound and construction quality , also the comfort be suprisingly good . lastly I have a question about the break in period . do I have to play the headphone at a low volume to break they in ? +617 Headphone POS 5 Alright , I just receive 3 of these in the mail . I like the package , it be tiny yet protective . the package that the headphone themselves they be in impressed I as well . I open they as careful as possible , -lrb- I didnt want to break anything , the other review sad they break -rrb- . I plug they into my laptop and i be very satisfied . the sound be clear and loud . I give a 5 star with durability as well . hopefully i wont be comment back with a bad review . but so far if u need a cheep good pair of headphone , by em from this guy . I will buy from u in future ! +705 Headphone NEG 1 I just send these back and order the 170 . there be way too much hissing . it be extremely annoying . I try switch channel a million time , move the base , etc. . occasionally it would work and I would have great sound for a minute , but then come the hissing . I really hope the 2.4 ghz of the 170s do not have this problem . +461 Headphone POS 5 I have be use these most day for a couple of week now and I think they be well worth the ten buck . I have a larger head -lrb- I wear a 7.75 hat -rrb- and these fit comfortably . I agree with other poster that if you have they on for more than about a hour you start to really notice they where they go over the top of the ear , but for a hour workout they be perfect . my gym play hard rock music way to loud and these work great to tune it out . they fold flat similar to a pair of glass when not in use and I can carry they around in my pocket with a ipod and they be not too obnoxious . bottom line , great price for a good product . +481 Headphone POS 4 when it come to personal listening , my trusty shure se535-v although the sound quality be generally good , wireless headphone still have a way to go before they could be stamp as `` audiophile '' quality . that say , the audio quality be definitely good enough to easily discern whether or not a select track be encode in a lossless format versus a high-bitrate mp3 , use a iPhone as a source . I have to say , that impressed I . similarly , I be surprise to discover just how much bass these produce . be it tight and accurate ? well ... let 's just say `` it be there , and I doubt all but the snobbiest customer would be bother by it '' . touch back on discernible audio quality , the audio source really matter a lot when it come to get the best sound from these . move from the iPhone to a Yamaha receiver , the difference between DirecTV HD and sd broadcast , a Blu-Ray disc , a CD , and streaming video from Amazon Prime -lrb- via the Blu-Ray player -rrb- be all quite stark . where most source range from `` great '' to `` acceptable '' , the streaming video be touch `` awful '' . definitely consider what you be go to be listen to the most , before buy these . in term of design , I can not say I be really overwhelm here . the build quality seem okay , though I be concern about snap one of the speaker off just remove it from the packaging . the headphone be reasonably comfortable , though TDK choose to have the require two AAA battery in the same speaker , which result in minor -lrb- but noticeable -rrb- heaviness on one side . the transmitter , however , do not seem build all too well . it 'll hold up if you baby it , but I be not sure how it will stand up to live in a road warrior 's suitcase or laptop bag . as with the headphone , it require two aa 's as well . the wireless performance for I be `` acceptable '' if not slightly annoy at time . these headphone perform well in a open space , but add a wall , and I notice that the headphone be cut out at 12 foot or less . all thing be equal , if I have purchase these headphone at this price without the wireless feature , I can not say I would feel rip off . if TDK make they a bit more balanced physically , and clean up the midrange a bit , they would be close to perfect . +454 Headphone POS 5 love these headphone , have use these a long time and always go back to they . use daily ! +148 Headphone POS 5 the pro : these be my preferred headphone of choice . I live in north Dakota and we get a lot of different condition here and I wear these headphone daily . I be very active and sometimes have a tendency to fall down while these be on . the most that usually happen be they get scuff up a bit . after a while the reflectiveness of the headphone do wear off but all in all a decent headphone . another issue I tend to have with headphone be that they be not comfortable because I have gauge up ear . these be the first headphone that I do not have any problem with my earring push into the side of my head and hurt after wear for 20 min . now the con : I believe this will be the best sound quality you can get from `` active '' style head phone . not eargasmic sound quality but very good none the less . while the protection for the cord on the headphone end make the cord last at that connection , the cord on the plug side have a tendency to end up break inside the cord itself . this be my 3rd pair and the last 2 have have this problem . all in all : I highly recommend these head phone for anyone look for a set of durable , comfortable , fairly good quality sound headphone . +60 Headphone POS 4 I purchase these a few week ago and use they almost daily since . over the past holiday weekend , they be wear on a cross continental airplane trip and otherwise , daily during a one-hour one-way vanpool commute as a passenger . I also own a pair of bose qc2 headphone . during the trans-continental trip , the headphone be hook up to a portable laptop computer while I watch download YouTube video . -lrb- my laptop have a 5-hour battery life , so I watch video the whole trip . -rrb- on my daily vanpool commute , I attach they to either a ipod or a itouch , primarily listen to language training rip -lrb- at 128 kp encode -rrb- . 1 . the noise canceling of the mdr-nc40 be not as good as on the bose , as a qualitative side-by-side comparison . that be to be expect , consider the respective cost between the two unit . 2 . after about four hour on the plane , the mdr-nc40 headphone start give I a pressure ` headache ' . they be not expandable to the point that they be comfortable wear for that much of a extended time . -lrb- I be fairly large , 6 ' 3 '' tall , weigh right at 200 lb . and wear a fairly large hat size , 7 1\/2 , I think . -rrb- for ` normal ' size people , this may not be a issue . 3 . do not care much for the battery arrangement on the mdr-nc40 . it be somewhere in the middle of the single cord and contain the on\/off slide switch as well as a momentary cancel button . what be that for anyway ? you can hear people talk anyway . the battery box do have a clip that allow easy attachment to a shirt , so the weight of it do not pull down on you head . 4 . I like how they fold up and store in a smaller pouch than the bose . +1 for the Sony on that account . 5 . be wary , however , that the two-pin airplane adapter be easy to lose . not much hold it into it dedicate pouch inside the storage case . Mine fall out tonight on the vanpool ride home , but luckily , I notice that it be miss and find it on the floor of the van after everybody else have leave . I give it four star for the price\/performance , but have to detract one for be too tight on my head and cause discomfort . I 'll keep they for the wife to use and I 'll use the qc2 headphone . +721 Headphone POS 5 these be the best headphone I have own . they stay in place and have clear sound as I run , my other type of headphone would fall out of my ear and I would have to constantly stop and put they back in , not with these I love they . +995 Headphone NEG 1 anyone say these earphone have a good sound must have very low standard ! they have absolutely `` no BOTTOM END '' at all . I DJ for a living and play all type of music and can appreciate good sound quality . these have neither good sound quality , nor any bass at all . I do not expect they to have the same sound quality as a $ 200 pair , but these do not even compare with `` stock '' earphone , let alone aftermarket . I actually think someone have be mess with my mp3 player and turn the bass off . to my surprise , the bass be turn all the way up . I 'll admitt , I do love a good rich bass sound , nothing muddy or `` boomy '' , just bass and drum the way they suppose to sound . these earphone do not even have the slighest hint of bass as far as I could tell . they do not impress I in the upper end either . mostly all I hear be mid 's . Kinda like the sound that come from a cheep alarm clock . well I guess I 'll keep try until I hit the `` SWEET '' spot that I be look for . maybe a good pair of shure or ultimate ear eb or pro . but you can rest assure , it will not be another pair of sony 's . +659 Headphone POS 5 I have have my ur29 for so many year im not sure how old they be . just recently they start to loose the plastic cover on the ear pad and the headset . I be really bummed because they have become a good friend and I didnt know how to replace they . well low and behold Koss have a lifetime warranty and they be cover ! so all you folk who love these HP like I do , do not dispare ! I be send they out to get refurbish and im go to by another pair from Koss ! +715 Headphone POS 5 I be sit here listen to my music as I type this review , with the noise-canceling feature turn on so that I can not hear my scream kid upstairs fight bedtime . : -rrb- that be not , however , why I buy they . we go on vacation 2-3 time a year and I be tire of crappy headphone that do not block out any of the outside plane noise , be not comfortable , didnt ' stay in my ear , etc. . while we have not travel since get these headphone , I think these be what I be look for . the sound be very good and they be pretty comfortable . I do not think I would be able to handle have they on for hour on end , but they be good for plane ride . we 'll be take they with we to Italy in two month , so that will definitely make up my mind completely on these . +89 Headphone POS 5 solid . you get exactly what you think you be get . not the most comfortable in the world but not a big deal . +786 Headphone NEG 1 I buy these 2 month ago , 3 week after the left ear stop work , I claim a warranty from JLab , they send I a new pair in less than 4 day , they work great for 3 week , and then the right ear stop work ... now I have my 3rd pair , and the left ear quit work today ... +522 Headphone NEG 1 this be probably the worst frackalakin piece of blacoopa i have eva wakalaking snakin ever get . I mean this headphone so bad its be very bad . I hate its headphone gut . you understand I heaphone I hate you soo much you can go die in a frazinglining hole . +940 Headphone POS 5 these headphone be awesome . I be just go to buy this as a temporary set til I get another pair but after the music experience I be have with these I do not think I need another pair . THESE be SIC !!!! +30 Headphone NEU 3 I think this be a update model of Sony mdr-ex76 . as Sony mdr-ex76 , this mdr-ex86 's sound be pretty good . it be quite natural and clear . however , one problem with mdr-ex86 be that it discomfort my ear because of its bulky phone part . after 3-4 hour of its use , it really bother the inside of my both ear . probably , my ear have a problem . because its sound be not greatly different from mdr-ex76 's sound , I still like mdr-ex76 . Sony mdr-ex76 \/ blk ex Style Headphones with carry case -lrb- black -rrb- +878 Headphone NEG 2 I buy this headset primarily for use with a laptop run Windows 7 . I be tire of bulky cord tie I down to a otherwise very mobile computer . the quick version be this : I do not recommend this product . design \/ quality + + + the headset seem sturdy , and come with a nice , and fairly compact semi-rigid carry case . Materials be good . + + + device be inexpensive , definitely a plus . -- the set be very uncomfortable . it pinch the top of the ear tight . I have have other headphone with this design that be much more comfortable . -- the length of the behind-the-head portion of the set can not be adjust . if you be sit down -lrb- for example , use this with a phone in a car -rrb- you 'll find yourself jut you head forward because the back of this headset hit the seat . very uncomfortable . reception \/ technical + + + the bluetooth signal be good , and pick up immediately by my computer . I experience no interruption or interference . -- this headset do not work with window 7 out of the box . the manual have setup instruction for window , but I be confuse that there be step I be not see when I follow along . it turn out that right in the middle of the instruction , in small print , you be direct to the manufacturer 's website to purchase additional accessory -lrb- dongle -rrb- which be require to pair this device with a laptop , even if you computer have build in bluetooth . -- 3rd party bluetooth software will recognize this device as a generic headset and will pair with it , but most cost money -lrb- most be more than the headset itself -rrb- . + + + when listen to music -lrb- phone , computer , etc -rrb- the sound quality be stereo and excellent . quite impressed for such a small , inexpensive device . + + + people comment that the mic sound loud and clear . -- when use this as a full headset -lrb- talk to other people with it -rrb- the sound become mono and the quality drop very noticeably . I be not a audiophile , but this sound be jarringly bad , . it be enough to distract I from what I be hear . I try numerous workaround but could not get high quality sound while use the mic . in conclusion , I be return this headset because it will not work for my laptop , the main reason I purchase it . that the instruction walk you halfway through setup before tell you to buy additional accessory and\/or software be very annoying , almost deceptive . even for a phone or other bluetooth device I would not recommend this product . the headphone be very uncomfortable , much tighter on the ear than similar design that I have own . the headband stick out from the back of you head significantly , and the whole setup can get knock off you ear easily , despite how tight it clamp . +352 Headphone POS 4 i buy these headphone for 4.99 + Free Shipping , Sound Quality be Pretty Good , volume be quite high for watch any programm on my laptop . as mention it come with extra Bass . overall much better product compare to any product you buy at doller store . +674 Headphone NEU 3 I recently purchase this model after compare to the Koss unit . what clinch the purchase for I be actually go to Panasonic 's site and check out the specification . this be the headphone they sell with they portable dvd unit . I buy this set of headphone to go with my new laptop , which also have a dvd player , and I think they would be useful for that task . the effect of the noise cancellation be very nice and something that isnt very easy to describe . the best term I can come up for it be `` active silence . '' you can `` hear '' something in that the `` something '' you hear be different than the ambient noise , but its just dead quiet . very useful when youre work around computer . the sound quality and the construction of the unit be my two beef . First , the headphone do hiss a bit . there be a audible background hiss just have they plug in . this do go away pretty well when the noise canceling be turn on however . I have have to create a equalizer setting for they because they range seem a little odd . the low range on they be about right , but the mid be weak and the high be too strong . so its necessary to turn the high down , turn the mid up , and the medium-low range down . this be easy enough if youre use a computer with a equalizer that support preset . it might not be so easy with , say , a discman or something similar . second , somebody review this unit and say that they `` pinch '' a little and that the ear muffle be shape incorrectly for human ear . this be mostly correct . because the unit fold in half , there be a constant tension against you ear , which the pad on the phone do not really protect you from . I notice that take my glass off ease this pain in my ear . however , not have my glass on make use the computer futile . they get real uncomfortable after about two hour of use . would I buy they again ? well , maybe , if the price be drop $ 20 , and I have a chance to try out the Koss unit . otherwise , I think the only real reason to purchase they be so you can wow you friend and tell they they have noise canceling . hardly worth $ 110 for that . +119 Headphone POS 5 -lrb- repost my review from the silver version I purchase this for use at my computer because I could connect power speaker to it as well as my headphone . the headphone be sennheiser hd650 's my music library be in FLAC format , a combination of CD rip , high-re release from audiophile label , and dvd-a rip . I be use the usb dac of the HDP . the DAC be quite good . I do not claim to be a golden-ear who can hear minute difference between mega-priced audio component and cable , but I do care about sound quality . I be of the belief a dac should be transparent , not add its own coloration to the sound -lrb- you choose you amp and speakers\/headphones for that if desire -rrb- . the hdp deliver in this regard , with excellent dynamics , deep clean bass , and reveal high . the headphone amp be sufficient to drive my 650 's louder than I would want to . I usually have volume between 1\/2 to 3\/4 -lrb- depend on source material -rrb- when use headphone . that be a bit higher than I would have expect , but mean I still have some headroom so I think it be sufficient . the sound be never fatigue with this combo , even at high volume level . in addition to its reputed audio quality , I choose the hdp because of several key feature : - both headphone and pre-amp out , with auto switching -lrb- speaker disabled when headphone be plug in -rrb- . - high quality analog volume control for both headphone - and preamp-out . this give I easy access to a volume control on my desktop -lrb- leave the computer 's software volume at 100 % where it should be for maximum audio quality -rrb- , and allow I to leave the volume control on my power speaker at a high enough level to avoid channel imbalance issue at lower listening level . - usb dac that can handle 24-bit\/96khz sound . all the other device I research only support up to 24-bit\/48khz over usb . - the usb dac can auto-switch between output format when use WASAPI exclusive mode , without the need to go into the Windows Sound setting to change the default output format . so I can seamlessly switch between a CD rip and a high-res flac with no extra configuration step . my one minor complaint , and the reason I give 4.5 star instead of 5 , be that the usb dac do not support 24-bit , 88.2 khz sampling level . for the few recording I have in this format , I have to use a re-sampling plugin . I do not see any reason for this format not to be directly support except simple oversight , give that 24\/48 , 24\/96 , and 16\/88 .2 be all support . if all you need be a DAC , the musical Fidelity v-dac but if you also need a headphone amp , multiple output , or 24\/96 over usb the icon hdp be worth the price premium imho . +160 Headphone NEU 3 monster generally produce staggeringly overpriced product and this be no exception . the build quality and sound performance be very good , and the packaging itself be fantastic , but it be hard to recommend this when price over $ 100 . the box include a number of different tip size but none of they be as comfortable as I would have like and after a hour of listen or so I appreciate a break . that be say the sound be very reasonable and there be a good balance of distribution throughout the spectrum . the controller for the ipod also work as expect and the carry case be very nicely make . I be unable to appreciate the `` magnetic flux Tube '' feature or the `` MicroStrand Conductors '' that be advertise . one should also consider that monster be a aggressively litigious company with a poor track record of business practice . +174 Headphone POS 4 this headphone be a great buy consider the cost . good quality sound . not too much bass though but excellent none the less . excellent as a studio headphone for crisp , clean monitoring & realistic sound for mix . the cord be very long & it come with a mini headphone to quarter inch converter . +903 Headphone NEG 1 there be a very annoying hum sound that it make it difficult to hear . also , one side of the headphone would not work . I have to return the headphone to Amazon . it appear other be also experience the hum problem . I would not recommend these headphone . +926 Headphone NEG 2 after have these headphone for about a year , yesterday they break when I simply take they off my head ! I only use they for gaming at home . they do sound good , but for the price of these headphone , they should be make of better material . do a google search and you 'll find other who be headphone have also break . I 'll never buy another pair of bose headphone again . +678 Headphone POS 5 I test these and other headphone before buy they . I have be use they for several month now and I love they . I use they for music , watch tv , and a little bit of gaming . 1 -rrb- I think they have very comfortable . one thing that separate the cheaper headphone from the nicer one be the comfort of the ear pad . if you have try bose 's ~ $ 200 headphone you know how soft and comfortable the around-ear padding be . the padding on these be not as nice as the ultra-nice headphone , but it be the closest imitation of it on headphone under $ 100 . I have wear they for 3 hour in a row and still feel comfortable . I really like that . 2 -rrb- between the cup padding , the stretch band on top , and they light weight , they sit very snuggly on my head . not tight , but softly snug . 3 -rrb- the sound quality be decent and the range be pretty good . the bass be on the good side for headphone in the general price range , especially consider the price . they will not blow you away , but bass-heavy song will have the bass well represent . the only place I find the bass actually lack be explosion in game or movie ; if you be use to explosion generate deep bass then you 'll probably notice that these will not be nearly as deep . but I will not complain , I do not find much better for the price in my test . I be not a audiophile so I 'll leave the sound detail at that . they do not sound or feel like $ 100 + headphone , but they feel close to it . the standard $ 80 be worth it in comfort and probably about right for sound quality . if you can pick they up for $ 40 or so , they be a good deal . for the record , you can do better for the money if you be interested in pure sound quality . the biggest selling point for I be the snug and comfortable fit . Bass be reasonably decent too . +939 Headphone POS 5 I love these headphone , especially with the Fiio e7 . check out www.head-fi.org it be a forum for people who do not know much about headphone -lrb- like myself -rrb- but want expert opinion before they buy a pair . +577 Headphone POS 5 I be very happy with this wireless stereo headset . I have a similar product year ago that cost over $ 300 . this be a great deal , and I use they all the time . I buy these because I be not a big television watcher , and I can hook these up to the computer , put on my YouTube playlist , and go outside and work in the garden -- much easier than have to download -lrb- and pay -rrb- thing to a ipod and have a wire hang around you neck - lol . I can walk all over the house and hear everything . I be petite , so they be a bit big for I , but I also understand that most item be make for the average person . the sound be good , easy to recharge , comfortable on the ear , and I enjoy they . if I do watch tv , I can still go outside and hear what be on the television , and not miss a thing . these headset be inexpensive , convenient , comfortable , and work in all area of the house . for this price , this be a excellent deal ! recommend ! +937 Headphone POS 4 these headphone be purchase for I as a gift so I could study better while other watch the tv in a nearby room . I listen to classical music at a moderate level . for hour on end , I wear the headphone very comfortably . the ear piece be soft and it do not push too hard around my head . I have a rather small head , but my fiance can wear they too for long period without discomfort . the sound quality be phenomenal for the price . if you have be listen to ear bud , you will think that you music have find a new dimension - you can really hear the mastering of any song with they . my only complaint be that if I be listen to music near anyone else , I have to turn it down to almost inaudible level so THEY do not hear it . so if you be look for headphone to use while someone else be in the room , I do not recommend these . if you be however just look to enjoy you music much more than you do before , I do recommend they . really , the price be not bad consider it be comparable to bose , so try to remember that when you have a bit of sticker shock . I would definitely purchase these again if I need another pair . +816 Headphone POS 5 until they give in , that be . I be a serious gamer and spend hour after hour in front of the computer . I be look for a headset that would not hurt my ear , be light , produce surround sound and sport a rumble bass . I have try a variety of other but if yu be look only for a headphone -lrb- not a headset -rrb- there be nothing I have find that beat this thing . so much , actually , that after a considerable time and my previous one sometimes succumb to the bass and indicate a loom failure , I order a second one in advance . this headset be extremely light and sound better than anything I have try as a gamer before . give the low price , this be nothing short of astonishing . +591 Headphone POS 4 so I buy a pair and receive they today . I be happy with the packaging and all but all I be really concern about be that the `` l '' and `` r '' symbol be both write towards the inside of the little square metal piece -lrb- towards where the bud face you ear for each earpiece instead of towards the back of they -rrb- . I do not know if this be a indication that its fake or something , but the Beats symbol be also a little scratch . the zipper on my case have already have paint chip , also , be the warranty really 3 year ? do anyone else have the same problem ? do these problem indicate that these headphone be fake ? +47 Headphone NEU 3 look for a pair of over the ear `` will not fall out '' headphone , I think I would give this brand a try . they fit well and the sound be ok , but the over the ear piece be not permanently attach to the ear bud . any slight pull and the ear bud will come out leave the ear piece over you ear . not a great design . for the money and overall value , I put my money on the Phillips . I have go through a couple pair each lasting about a year and they work great , sound great and have no issue with too many loose part . I wear mine for both the gym and under my motorcycle helmet so they be in my ear for a hour or more at a time , the Phillips never give I any issue other than they just wear out from use . have yet to try the sound square earbud with the helmet . +333 Headphone NEU 3 this item be as describe but do not work in the situation I want to use it in and be return with no problem . +850 Headphone POS 4 pro : relatively inexpensive comparatively sound great comfortable even with my big head keep outside noise out pretty well Cons : velour earpad can make you head HOT outside of headphone have no noise dampen - anyone nearby can hear what you be listen to I be happy with the headphone in spite of the con - because at pretty much any volume the headphone put out sound through the back of the earpad and anyone nearby can hear . I wish the velour earpad do not turn my head into a furnace , but all over the ear headphone be bad to some extent , and the velour be more comfortable . people complain about the long cord but I have come to expect that with high quality headphone and it be actually beneficial in one scenario so I 'll live with it . if you want great sound at a reasonable price and do not care if anyone else would get bother by the noise , then these be a great buy . +900 Headphone NEU 3 overall , I have have a somewhat different experience with sennheiser 's product than most . although it seem many be enamor with this particular manufacturer 's high quality earbud , I have to say I have yet to be impressed . mind you , this do not extend to Senn 's high-end model , which be understandably phenominal . but as a purveyor and reviewer of lower end earbud , I have to admit sennheiser seem to like to snub they customer a bit . I hate the much beloved cx300 -- overly boomy , otherwise not too great , and asymmetrical cable length -- and these one be not too much better . in the bud ' defense , the sound be crisp and clear -- treble just sing out to you , and mid range be deliver both capably and with full presence without overwhelming the listener . the `` powerful bass '' quality be a joke , however . my $ 13 pair of Panasonics outbump these $ 20 baby hand down , and generally be just more satisfying to listen to . the treble have a slightly less sharp edge that just seem to work with my ear better . build quality on these be unimpressive , too : the cord be thin and cover in a somewhat sticky rubber coating . this make not only untangle the cable a mess , but it also make use the build in cable separator a complete and utter pain , not even worth the trouble of fight against the friction . the driver casing feel cheap , also . it probably will not crack in you hand or anything , but it be clear the plastic they use be a bit lighter and fluffier than what one would have hope . but then again , for $ 20 , they be not go to surround it in tank armor . still , I think you could do a bit better for the cash . overall , I can not really give these a thumb up . +894 Headphone POS 5 when I first get these I think the bass be horribly bloated . there be no mid , and the treble be very muffle . after read a suggestion on a certain Headphone forum , I pull the foam insert out of the earpad . they come out very easily , just pinch the middle of the flat cushion part , and the little round foam insert should come out . anyway , this make a huge difference . the difference be night and day . they be arguably my favorite can now . the bass thin out , the mid come alive , and the treble become brighter , but not harsh . I have 6 different pair of headphone , most of they mid\/high end , and I keep come back to these for they fun factor . everything just sound good on they . my only complaint be a obvious one , the headband ! sometimes it be too loose , other time i feel like my ear be go to bleed . also , the bass output change depend how they be orient . if the headband slip down the back of my head , the bass get thinner , if they be center on my head it be just about right , slightly augmented , which be how I like it . overall they be a very good buy . the only other can that have similar bass be my sennheiser hd212pro 's , but they do not have the saucy mid and crisp clean high that the AKG 's do . the senn sound somewhat veil in comparison . also fwiw , I even use these with a headphone amp when walk every night , sweating all over they . I wipe they with a damp cloth before put they away , and I have not have a single problem . the leather ear cushion still look like new . I can not wait to try some of the higher end akg model . +587 Headphone POS 5 I have be use the oe2 for about 5 day and , so far , I be very happy . I 'll start off by say I be not a expert on audio product . in make the purchase , I be look for headphone that would deliver clear , big , rich sound with some solid bass . that be definitely what I get with these . other review note some disappointment with the bass production . if you be look for boom , bass-heavy headphone then this might not be you choice . however , by play around the eq setting in iTunes or you music player , you can still get some very big , solid bass . on music track I listen to with a solid amount of bass , with my eq bass setting turn up a bit , I get a really nice , rich , full bass with great range . sound great . I personally choose the one-ear versus the over-ear design because over-ear headphone hurt the sensitive area behind my ear after only a few minute . the on-ears be incredibly comfortable , very soft , and very light . after a couple hour of wear I do feel some slight pressure on my upper earlobe , but it go away quickly when I take these off for a minute or two -lrb- probably should do that anyway -rrb- . they do leak sound a bit , but that be no surprise . I be not sure if the over-ear design would diminish it . they be not cheap , but I do really enjoy the oe2 . very big , rich sound , and you can get some really great bass production by play around with eq setting to you liking . I would definitely recommend these . +346 Headphone POS 5 I buy these after read a article about someone loose a in ear head phone in they ear . so my goal be to move away from my ibeat ear bud and still have decent quality . these head phone deliver . the sound be very nice , with good deep bass . I can turn up my music to the max and not get any distortion . I have slight hearing issue from when I be younger . I get a buzz sound if I listen to anything remotly loud . I have not have any issue with these , even at full volume , and I believe it be due to the high quality of the sound . I love the look of these head phone . I be not a fan of the flashy big head phone with the name plaster for all to see . these be clean look and I do not feel like a DJ wear they . they fit really well , and this be from someone with e big head . if I have one complaint , and it be a minor one , it would be that the mic and control button be a little high . it sit right at my neck , so if I want to change track , or pause I have to reach a little high . also , I know it say it control iphone , but it work just fine with my HTC Rezound . +205 Headphone POS 4 this be a good set of headphone . I listen to music all day - while work out and to relax I before bedtime . the headphone be flexible , yet fit snuggly and the behind-the-head style do not interfere with my hair . just make sure you treat the cord with care , otherwise you may break a connection and prevent music from play the right earphone . that be how I break my last pair , but I like the set so much I decide to buy another pair . +400 Headphone POS 5 I have those for almost 2 year now and I just love they . they will not insulate the surround noise like the in-ear type phone , but they sound perfectly - very balanced -lrb- enough bass , clear high and enough middle -rrb- and be really durable . I be find myself prefer they among the 5-6 set of different headphone I own for anything on my laptop and on my portable when I be listen to music evening at home . highly recommend for any purpose at relatively silent surroundings . +684 Headphone NEG 2 I just return from a repeat air trip to England , and be hope for a more restful -lrb- read that more sleep with fewer distraction from cry child and the cough lady in the next seat -rrb- trip through the use of these philip headphone . I find that the noise cancel feature do decrease the drone ambient sound to a somewhat helpful extent . other cabin sound be still intrusive . the sound quality do not seem much better than the airline-supplied headset and the product seem to be quite cheaply make . my biggest concern be : 1 -rrb- that the headphone pad have to be position carefully to derive any benefit from the noise cancel feature , which mean that I have to keep my head straight to not push on the neckband . also , my neck pillow tend to push on the neckband and degrade performance . bother . 2 -rrb- my -lrb- admittedly generous -rrb- auricle just plain hurt after a few hour of use , and I have to take the headset off . I do buy a pair of noise-cancelling earbud to address these two issue , and this approach have work well . for instance , consider one of the sure earbud . +606 Headphone NEU 3 the ds3000 work well but be limited ! the sound be great when dolby be present but do not move you head too much or you will loose sound and under some situation will become scratchy . all in all I like they because it do the job for I . when my wife be work in the kitchen in we small house in Arizona I miss some of the word . do not be afraid to buy this product ! +819 Headphone NEG 1 yay ! I get it ! I plug it in , turn it on and crystal clear I can hear my neighebor on the left hand side talk about he will with he attorney on one channel , and my neighbor on the right hand side orderede capri in khaki on the other channel . Perfect ... except I want to hear my music . I think it be in the next channel but can not tell for sure under all that static . 1 star for get my neighbor chordless phone , that may come in useful to someone sometime . the headphone be comfortable and light . battery be contain within the headphone , so you have to replace battery every so often . static be huge issue , I can barely hear what I be suppose to hear and I be stand right over the base . the base also very light , do not even feel substantial enough to transmit anything . +999 Headphone POS 4 the good : this thing do what it say it will do and sound pretty awesome . you will not use the full volume without do ear damage , unless you already have ear damage . it successfully take the underpowered Razor Maxx output and deliver excellent sound , while improve the range -lrb- bass . -rrb- the Bad : I do not know how they define `` normal use '' , but 10 hour be a pipe dream . I be lucky to get a hour out of it at perhaps half its volume potential . if they make a bigger one that hold a bigger battery , that would actually last 10 hour ; I would pay 5 time the price in a heartbeat ... and probably 10 . that be say ; this thing be still worth every penny they be ask for it , as the price be very fair for what you actually get . +665 Headphone POS 4 I buy these as a replacement for my broken px 200s 1st edition . my experience with the 1st gen be that they be great overall , although they have the follow con : 1 . the cable be make up of two individual wire . this mean that the cable would get tangle upon itself and just about every time id put they on , I would have to spin the cable around to get it straighten 2 . the cable split to both ear piece . this result in the cable always be directly under you chin which could at time be awkward 3 . extend use -lrb- 1 hour or more -rrb- make my ear get sweaty , regardless of volume the 2nd gen have correct each of the above mention issue . the cable be one solid wire , mean no tangle . the cable only connect to the LEFT ear piece , mean that the wire go down more gracefully by the side of you face . Ive wear they to the gym 3 or 4 time , and have not experienced much ear-sweat , if any . quality\/comfort I be not a audiophile , but in my opinion the sound quality be great for gym usage with hip hop\/rock\/techno playlist . the headphone block out the music playing at my gym quite nicely , which be critical because Lifetime Fitness have invest in a quality sound system which they use to blast Britney Spears and Rihanna all day . they be as comfortable as any other headphone I have ever worn , although I have not use that many well know headphone besides the 1st gen and some lower price Sennheiser model . spec : the cable be roughly 4 foot long , with the volume controller be about 1 foot away from the end of the cord . one other aspect of the volume controller that be worth note be that it have a `` clip '' mechanism on the back of it that allow you to attach it to you shirt\/pants\/etc . they be closed style , which mean that nearby people will not be able to hear they ... make they a nice option for work environment . one more nice feature be that you can turn the ear piece 90 degree -lrb- so that if you be wear the headphone around you neck , the ear piece will be point outwards -rrb- to make they more collapsible for storage . you can also point the ear cup outwards and play music for friend or yourself . con : the only con I be aware of so far be that they do not collapse quite as nicely as the 1st gen because the volume controller get in the way . they still collapse though -lrb- just not as well -rrb- , which allow for more convenient storage than 95 % of decent sound portable headphone . Summary : if I be in the market for a portable headphone , I would buy these again ... as long as they be within $ 20 of the first generation version . +759 Headphone NEG 1 hello all - just think I would let you know that all coby product be JUNK , if you see the name COBY on something Run do not walk away ! never have a good experience w \/ they - avoid like the plague -lrb- sorry Amazon -rrb- but Coby be junk , Amazon be awesome and should not sell Coby product . just let you know . . +967 Headphone POS 5 order these while they be on sale , and i be very impressed ! not only do these look great , but they sound awesome . you will have to burn they in for around 20-24 hour , but it make a huge difference . the treble be solid , the mid be pretty good , and the bass could have more boom but it be there . buy now !! +801 Headphone NEG 1 I have mix feeling about these earphone . the positive be : they be inexpensive , the sound quality be good and when I first put they in , they be completely secure in my ear . however , once I start sweating , they would easily slip out of my ear and then not go back in . the worst part be , I only have they two week and the left earphone stop work . I send they back . +582 Headphone POS 4 even with song that have a lot of bass , you can barely hear any with these headphone ... but afterall they be only chump-change worth compare to the beat ... they fit perfectly during workout and do not slip out at all . . +224 Headphone POS 4 I be very please with the quality and well balanced sound . the padding on the head band and ear piece be soft , supple , and comfortable . my only negative be the huge size of the earpiece and the large pyle letter in the outside of each . I choose these after return a set of Kensingtons , for the purpose of music during mow my lawn . the over ear headpiece and noise canceling do a excellent job . I can still hear a very low level of exterior sound , but that would be the case with any set . again , on the sound , clean clear high and very nicely balanced mid and just the right amount of bass for I . a great value overall ! +53 Headphone POS 4 just Super Sound come form this small device . I use it when I travel on the airplane and discover I do not need the bulky expensive noise cancel headphone . with the ear plug nicely place , all you hear be great sound , and its easy to carry around . definitely recommend it . +568 Headphone POS 4 this be a very good headset , small , good sound & very good price , I can not believe who pay hundred of $ $ $ for headset , because all speaker lose sound quality overtime . +96 Headphone POS 5 awesome product , I have use bose , Sony and Pioneer and the sein be way better , and for the money be awesome and conformable . my wife put aside she bose and now I have to buy she a set . I listen to rock and they handle the bass very very well , even with hip hop and techno and the bass bounce back fast , I do not know the term for it , but it handle fast bass throw at it like from Meatallica and such ... so if you like rock or metal , these be good to go ... even for classical and club , I try all music so far . well not polka or swing , but I be sure it 'll work ... Hope this help , , shoot shoooot . +749 Headphone NEG 1 both be already break i. didnt do . anything to it . but . put it . on and press play the sound . be awsome so . yu think . yu have a good deal but a. 2 week later yu want you money back +691 Headphone POS 4 I fall in love with the design of these headphone . I really like the retro look , and I absolutely adore over the ear headphone ! I be not a big fan of stick ear bud into my ear . I think the red part be go to be metal , but its actually plastic , but that be not a big deal . the mesh ear cup actually provide pretty decent noise isolation which mean do not have to crank up the volume to drown out background noise ! I use these on my computer and the sound be very clear and very nice . I listen to music on my computer , since I dont have a mp3 : -lrb- , and so the sound be pretty balanced , but I be no music expert , so that my 2 cent worth about the sound . when I do plug these into a mp3 player , the sound be pretty quiet low . I be surprise . I have to crank up the volume to listen at a good listening volume ! this be mostly surprising because I absolutely do not listen to music at a loud volume because my hearing be important to I ! so I be pretty disappoint by that fact since I be plan on get a mp3 and would have like to use these . another thing be that if there be wind outside or a breeze , you actually hear the `` whoosh '' sound ! this obviously interfere with the music , especially because if you outside with these headphone it mean you be use a mp3 player , and if you use a mp3 player the sound isnt that loud anyway ! and for I , even if the noise isnt that loud I dare not crank it up too much because I do not want to damage my hearing , so that be disappointing . I love the look , the sound quality and volume be amazing when use on a computer , which be where I spend most of my time listen to music and what not . one other thing I notice about these headphone , after about a couple hour of use they , with break in between , my head start hurt a bit . I dont know if its just because of the pressure that the cup place on my ear -lrb- which really isnt much it doesnt squeeze you head ! -rrb- , but I have a small headache , and I dont ever get headache . overall I think these be pretty decent headphone for wear in door while work , play , or listen to stuff on the computer , but for outdoor usage I would not recommend it . Hope y' all find this review helpful ! +245 Headphone NEG 2 I get my first pair a while back , and they be incredible . the sound be amazing , they fit well , and they look awesome . they last about 3 month before the left earbud go silent . at first I would just have to tap the earbud for the sound to come back on , then it just burn out completely . I try to file for a warranty but they would not send I another pair because my earbud have hole in the wire from when my puppy chew they , however , that never effect the sound and do not do any damage because they break 2 month after that . I buy another pair because the cheap headphone I be buy do not measure up to the sound of these , and that pair only last about a month and a half before the headphone jack -lrb- the metal part -rrb- come out . I do not even know how that happen because I never bent the jack . I really wish these last longer , but I still love the sound quality . +189 Headphone POS 4 I buy these headphone for work to try and shut out the noise from some of the adjacent cubicle . they work nicely for the purpose and do not pinch you head like some of the other headphone I have try . they do fully enclose you ear - they do not sit on top of you ear like some headphone . sit over the ear like that be nice especially if you wear glass because it mean you do not get the arm of you glass smash into you head . generally speak , these be pretty comfortable . I do not like the band on top of my head , but that be not a issue with these headphone specifically - it be just one of those thing that come with the headphone territory . the sound be decent , but not super rich . there be point in the music where it sound a little hollow , like the low-end of the midrange be miss . it become particularly noticeable when listen to electronic music . the bass be decent but not ear-thumping . high be reasonable . if you be look for some decent-priced headphone that will get you through the work day , these be fine . if you be look for reference-quality sound or be uber-picky about sound quality , these be not for you . one note - with the over-the-ear fit and the corresponding headband , these headphone be huge . I mean , no one be go to walk past you and miss these bad boy . you can see they on you head from space . if you be try to impress someone of the opposite sex or look cool in you headphone groove to the music , you will have better luck carry a 80 's boombox on you shoulder - they be roughly the same size , but at least one have `` retro style '' go for it . give what I be look for , and that I have some headphone that be uncomfortable that I want to replace , these fit the bill . I will probably look at a more expensive in-ear set next time so I can have better quality sound and lose the headphone-hair effect that the band on these give I . +619 Headphone POS 5 my wife object to the stereo system so with this extension cord I can listen in my headphone and keep peace in the family . +714 Headphone POS 5 this radio be super light weight so that it stay on you arm . the control be easy to learn and use . -lrb- even for 50 + -rrb- . the tuner be excellent . this would make a great gift for any male 7-70 . +381 Headphone NEG 1 just after 3 month the on\/off button break down , shortly after the button lock feature stop work . before this , when I put the unit in my coat pocket , at the slightest movment it would turn itself on , if the button lock be not on . so , if you be not consiencious enought to put the button lock on each time , expect to burn through a slew of battery . +730 Headphone POS 5 I have the WORST time find ear phone in the history of the world . I have small ear so the type that come with standard stuff never fit . the type you put in the ear always fall right back out again , plus they look gross after awhile . add to that a hearing impairment in one ear and I be a hopeless case . until now . the monster immersion isport in-ear headphone be the BEST . they come with several different ear bud size so you can get the perfect fit no matter what size of ear -lrb- s -rrb- you have . the neatest feature -lrb- as far as fit go -rrb- be the little rubber thing call a `` sport clip '' at the top that mold right into you outer ear to hold they in . it be patent so you 'll not find this feature on ANY other ear phone . there be no pull these out accidentally -lrb- or have they fall out while run -rrb- . they be very snug without be tight or painful in any way -lrb- my ear be also really sensitive to that too -rrb- . now onto the other cool feature . firstly , they be waterproof . mean you can wash they in the WASHER -lrb- or in the sink , whatever float you boat -rrb- . but wash they be a huge bonus in my eye because I seriously be disgust when someone put MY ear phone in THEIR ear , it do not matter how much I love they , I do not share ear phone . this also mean if you be a runner or some other type of athletic person that sweat a lot , you be not go to have a issue with they get wet - bonus ! a friend tell I she have ear phone that be waterproof and can be use for swimming , I have never hear of such a thing and I be not sure if I be understand she correctly because I can not find ANY other ear phone that claim you can throw they in the washer ! they say they have `` proprietary sealed housing '' mean they be the only ear phone out there that continue to have awesome sound , even after get wet . some of the cool techie-type feature be the ControlTalk . it say it be for `` music phone and ipod '' . I be not sure what that mean because I be able to use a splitter and plug it into my Sony Xperia Play and it work just fine . but know if you be a iPhone sheeple , it be get ya cover : the ControlTalk have a call answer button & microphone so you can easily switch back and forth between listen to music and talk on you phone . it can also be use for music and video playback on you ipod -lrb- nano 4g and later , touch 2g and later , iPhone 3G and later , ipad -lrb- s -rrb- and the remote will work on ipod shuffle -rrb- . the audio work on all ipod model . it say there be some support for Blackberry but that be something you would have to check on , it be base on the model you have . I find the ControlTalk to be the best techie thing ever , I love that I can easily skip ahead in a song -lrb- or to the next song -rrb- or book chapter , video , etc. with just press a button on my ear phone cord , it be very convenient . you can also use it to pause and control the volume . now for the sound . this be the a-maz-ing part . I have honestly never hear such good sound on ear phone before and that be say a lot consider I have very little hearing in one of my ear . it be always be a bummer because listen to music have be greatly diminish since my hearing loss . when I put these in today , I be able to hear the music like I remember , rich , full and very crisp , it be wonderful ! now I 'll be the one to admit that I usually buy cheap ear phone because my kid steal they , I lose they , they break , never fit right anyway , etc. . but these be very high quality and they fit perfectly so when you have they in , you hear no background noise , just the music\/book\/whatever you want to hear . the sound quality be truly extraordinary . also have : - tangle free cord - right angle jack - pro sound Isolating ear tip in multiple size - a spring-clip pouch that feel like neoprene ... maybe it be , maybe not , but it be durable and look good . -24 K Gold plate contact - MicroStrand Conductors which help produce sound with clarity & detail - rugged construction - Advanced in-ear speaker design for amazing sound so , if you be a athlete or just someone who want a good , solid pair of ear bud that will last , you 'll probably really enjoy these , I know I do ! +405 Headphone POS 5 they sound great , ear clip actually work , one of the best pair of headphone that I have ever buy for less than $ 20 +74 Headphone NEG 2 I receive these headphone after the cheap-o one I grab for $ 7 finally break . I think from all the positive review and detailed description these would be a great buy for the price . wrong . Day two after get they in the mail the left earbud die for no reason . the only way I can get it to work be to wiggle the base . these touch no water . they be not even drop . what a disappointment ... other than this issue , the ear bud be not even well design . despite the nice case they give you and different size headphone , these do not transmit sound in a efficient manner . the squishy bud piece get in the way , and do not form a clear tunnel for sound to travel without you have to twist it around in you ear for several minute . in conclusion , these be altogether much more aggravation than they be worth . do not buy these , you be better off with the crappy Apple one believe it or not . +328 Headphone POS 5 my daughter want these and never leave the house without they . they work really well and be purchase another pair for she brother . +727 Headphone NEG 2 see all of the great review and get these recommend by a friend , I decide to buy they . I be very disappointed when i plug they in and listen to they . there be almost no bass on these headphone . these headphone have very good treble tone and you can hear every detail of what you be listen to . they be also comfortable . but there be very very weak bass . this be the case when plug they into my computer , my turntable , and my guitar amp -lrb- even while i be play a bass with the bass knob all the way up and everything else down -rrb- , so I think I have to blame it on the headphone . i will be return these headphone and look for a new pair . +868 Headphone NEU 3 mediocre signal ... period . we have much better luck with the sennhesier ... even the lower-end one +755 Headphone POS 5 let I just begin this review by say I do not comment on many product I buy from Amazon although I order something at least once a week . I have have pretty bad luck with earbud . I have use Sony until they begin to short out on I every six month -lrb- I guess I sweat too much during workout -rrb- . I move on to Sennheiser and I be pleased but at $ 55 for a pair , they be okay . I be one of those `` weird '' one that like both treble and bass equally . I buy a pair of Sennheiser here on Amazon on sale . they be a dud to say the least and I find my old pair I have lose for awhile and continue to use they . I end up give the sale sennheiser to my sister . to make a long story short , I purchase the j3 -lrb- shortly after have purchase Skull candy full metal jacket earbud -rrb- . I be satisfy with the Skull candy fmj but still look forward to get my j3 . can I just say it be worth the wait ? they blow I away and all I can say be wow ! I do not know about the whole `` burn 'em out '' - or be it `` in '' ? - who care ? they be wonderful out of the package ! I only plan to use they at home as I have my trusty , efficient , german sennheiser for my workout -lrb- they still work after 3 year so I can not complain too much ; they be great , just not enough bass with the treble -rrb- . the j3 be perfect as the treble and the bass be equal and compliment one another . I listen to metal , hip-hop , industrial , rap , dance , pop , r&b; , electronic -lrb- so I can not comment on opera , classical , country , etc. -rrb- and I love they ! they make every genre sound wonderful . I plan to order another pair just in case - for travel if you will as I would hate for anything to happen when I go away on vacation . if you want to appreciate you mp3 device - whether it be Apple or Zune or anything in between - do not be without these earbud ! +15 Headphone POS 4 do not purchase these expect true noise cancellation as find in full size headphone . they be however , extremely comfortable and reduce a fair share of ambient sound . a bit on the expensive side for what you get , but they fit and work well . +312 Headphone NEU 3 Easy setup . sound quality decent . no additional battery require . unfortunately , you must be in line-of-sight to receive a signal . there be a constant underlie hiss . I would look at other option before settle on these . +761 Headphone POS 5 buy these to enjoy MY music without disturb the rest of the household with B.B. or Luciano or Waylon & Willie . bass = d.e.e.p all else = clear . I be so impressed -lrb- 1st day -rrb- that I ask my 2 son to let I know what they think vs. they earbud and\/or phone . that be about 1-1\/2 week ago . and I have not see they since . -lrb- the phone , that be ; I always see son at mealtime -rrb- I should have buy -lrb- 3 -rrb- three set ` in self-defense ' . Whichever son I find that currently have they , tell I that they will be on my desk when they be finish . seem I just barely miss ` my turn ' . -lrb- always -rrb- my old bud be still ok ! ... BUT ... will buy more ... soon ! +66 Headphone POS 5 after a few week of run with the awful ipod headphone I buy these . they stay in my ear and keep I from look like a bumble idiot try to cram those iPod turd back in every 10 foot . they sound good as far as I can tell . +576 Headphone POS 5 I just receive my order to day and they be everything and more that I want form a pair of professional headphone ! only problem be that they apparently pull more power from my ipod and drain the battery faster . but the sound quality be worth it ! +822 Headphone NEU 3 awesome for gaming , watch movie , to get that extra bass boost in you music . if you like you bass loud in you car this might be the dealiow . now if you be into music production , video editing , want to listen music as they where intend to be listen keep on search , these be not for you . +970 Headphone NEU 3 very cool look and ultra comfortable . a little pricey , and I think you may be able to get a better deal somewhere . however , these thing really be ultra comfortable and durable . happy customer ! +171 Headphone POS 5 this be the first wireless headphone i even have . it work great and the sound quality be good . the price be reasonable too . recommend this wireless headphone for anyone who be look for budget wireless with good quality . +706 Headphone NEU 3 do not let the name sennheiser fool you . this product be make in China . I be excite about get these earbud , see the name Sennheiser and think it be a bargain at the price . well , there be a reason . so I be try to prevent the next person from make the same mistake . these be NOT German make earbud . other critique : not as comfortable in the ear as other have suggest . I can wear it for 2 hour before my ear start hurt . sound quality not any more special then standard apple earbud . most importantly : durability . how long will these earbud last I until one or both side go deaf ? I do not know , I just get these . I will come back to this review to let you know . sennheiser do offer 2 year warranty , so that be good . +374 Headphone POS 4 this be a great product . just a comment : the cable from battery pack to ear be a bit short . that be the only thing not really good . apart from that , this be a product really recommend . +551 Headphone POS 5 the px 100 headphone have great sound almost unreal for the money . this be the 4th set I have purchase and recommend they 100 % . one thing to take into consideration be that these headphone be not extremely durable . I would not recommend these for kid or any `` rough '' use . frankly they be not mean for that hence the reason I do not deduct for durability . also if rough up the foam speaker cover can come off fairly easily . you & I will simply put they back on ; kid may not and loose they . by the time you find replacement foam cover it could be less aggravate to purchase new headphone . sennheiser do provide a well design case to protect the headphone while not in use . also , note that other user report a faulty wire connection . I have run into something similar on one only one of my headphine set and that be the set my daughter be use . I chalk that up to abuse since none of the set I have use have this issue . still , consider the amount of people that have report this issue , I would keep it in mind . bottom line : people who will take care of the headphone and want a budget set with excellent quality = yes rough use -lrb- ie : kid on school bus -rrb- = no +84 Headphone POS 5 when I first open the box on this headset I think how cheap it feel . but after use it I be glad it be light . do not be fool , the Sennheiser quality be there . I be totally hooked on this headeset now ! I just wish the battery be cheaper and time will tell how long they really last . also still not sure why Amazon be sell additional headset for this setup at a higher price . +871 Headphone POS 5 I travel once to twice every month and I want to buy a pair of good noise-cancelling headphone so that I can listen to my ipod or get some rest . first , I try a Sony nc50 at a Sony Style store . the nc50 put out so much accoustic pressure to my ear and it really hurt . then , I try Sennheiser PXC-250 , pxc-300 , and Bose QuietComfort 2 extensively . first time , I bring both pxc-250 and pxc-300 to a trip from San Diego to Newark . there be no significant performance difference in term of noise canceling . the pxc-300 have a better case . then , on my next trip , I borrow a bose quietcomfort 2 from a colleague of mine and compare it with pxc-300 . after extensively testing -lrb- with and without music , with and without background people talk , and etc. -rrb- , I find it be about 20-30 % less of noise with bose . also , my ear feel warm and uncomfortable after 30 min with pxc-300 because of the over-the-ear style . I understand everyone else 's comment on bose be over-priced , but if you be look for the best noise-cancelling performance on a airplane , unfortunately there be no other way around it . bose be certainly the best . +600 Headphone POS 5 find the piece so wonderful thank you and I advise to deal with this person to the credibility and sincerity to deal with other +764 Headphone NEG 2 I buy Labtec 835 go by the revieww , but now i have stop believee review and specificationg ... , these headfone be bad , no real volume with clarity , sick bass , i mean only u can listen to something like a lecture ... ! good thing , these headfone be real comfortable ! but then pay 16 $ for that ??? pay a little more and get something better ! I didnt like these headfone at all ! if u r a music lover , u wont like they , dont buy they ! else u regret ... +803 Headphone POS 5 these headphone work great for my four year old . he have ruin a pair of the cheap Wal-Mart headphone after a couple month , so want something better I find these on Amazon . now he be have they for the same amount of time as the cheap one , and they be still like new . the sound be good from they too . they be too small for I to put on , but they fit my son perfect . for the price I can not imagine a better child size set . +844 Headphone POS 5 I write computer hardware review for devhardware.com and I have the pleasure of write up a full review on these headphone which can be find at http:\/\/www.devhardware.com\/c\/a\/speakers\/sennheiser-px100\/ needless to say they be definitely worth the money . for less than $ 40 you will not find a better sound set of phone . +282 Headphone POS 4 I order this pair of headphone for my Motorola Triumph smartphone . so far I do not have real complaint . under normal noise level the ambient noise be greatly isolate and I can hear music or person in the phone w\/o any problem . people tell I I sound a little muffle but they can understand I w\/o and problem . in noisy situation -lrb- I have worn these while mow the lawn as well as while ride my motorcycle -rrb- I still get ambient noise come through - but I can still hear the music very well . I do not play my music very loud ... usually only at around 50 % and I wear a 1\/2 helmet so I know that there be a lot of noise when I be ride . I have not have to take any call while on the bike so I be not too sure how well they will perform in that situation . the in-the-ear bud be comfortable and they stay in my ear even when I be very active . the headset come with several different tip for I to select the right size for I . +991 Headphone POS 5 in reality i give these a 4.5 since sweat destroy they . but thankfully I do not buy they for exercise . they have stay in my ear without any discomfort or agitation for several hour . sound be balanced , bass be full , and it come with a array of ear piece to ensure you get a good fit . if you can do physical activity without sweating these make be suitable bud for you , but otherwise you be look at a very short lifespan with wetness on these . though the cord and ear piece be design well the material feel a tiny bit cheap , so you definitely want to take great care of you set . you can easily do so by store it in the small case it come with . overall great sound , excellent design . if they make it in a sturdier material without change touching sound quality , I would happily buy that pair as well . +348 Headphone POS 5 I get two of these , the first with a great discount . but my brother like it so much , that I order a second set right after receive and test the headphone for some day . they be comfortable , quite light , and sound really great -lrb- I can not listen to videos\/music in youtube with these because it just do not make the headphone justice -rrb- . this be my first time buy `` brand '' headphone , and you can really hear the difference ! +653 Headphone POS 5 the sound quality from these be good , esp the headphone - phenomenal bass . they be both so comfortable , and I love the little case for the bud . +897 Headphone POS 5 I suppose I can consider myself a audiophile . I have try quite a few different headphone and probably own 5-6 different pair . these headphone be perfect , they be really comfy and the quality of the sound be fantastic . +855 Headphone POS 5 I have always be a bose fan ever since we purchase the original 3-2-1 -lrb- 2.1 -rrb- dvd system . I purchase this pair because I accidentally `` destroy '' a pair of considerably cheaper SkullCandy earbud . pro : decently price when compare to they next closest competitor supurb sound quality seem like they be build to last the earbud tip fit my small ear perfectly and will not fall out no matter what I do the plug be angle to fit almost any device con : they be not free ! be it a con not to find any con ??? all in all , I be way beyond impressed with the sound that come from such a small package . they sound so great that I be actually rediscover my music collection ; hear the song in a way I have never contemplate I could hear they . I almoset feel like I be hear 3d sound or sound come from a 5.1 system . as someone who hate excessive bass or loud music , these handle the lower power better than any pair out in the price point . usually , headphone be calibrate to a specific styie of music , but I have yet to find a song\/style of music that these thing can not handle -lrb- classical , rock , pop , rap , r&b; , hip-hop , disco\/techno\/dance , it play they all well -rrb- anyone who need a new pair of earbud would be a fool not to get these . spend the extra buck now because you 'll end up spend the extra buck on a replacement for a cheaper pair that might not even last or sound as good . I recommend these to everyone , specifically audiophile or people who lust over the perfect audio to complement they obsession with hd video . +268 Headphone NEU 3 sound be great , fit nicely into my ear . only draw back be the location of the wire that tend to get in my way quite often while run , but its not a deal breaker . for less than $ 10 , I would say I get a good deal ! +518 Headphone NEG 1 these be just aweful . after about 4 mo , they will not hold onto you head . if you look down while wear they , they will hit the floor . also , if you audio signal go quiet for more than about 30 seconds , you hear a little `` click '' then deafening static hiss . be very dissapointed . +989 Headphone POS 4 I buy this amp to power a set of akg k240 mkius 's and some Grado SR60i 's from my Zune HD mp3 player . it be great . the grado 's take less power than the AKG 's , so they be a little louder , perfect actually , because I 'll find myself have about 3 notch leave to adjust a little higher on song record quieter . I have yet to try the AKG 's with the amp , but do not expect anything amazing because they be pull a 55ohm load for they volume , and that be alot . as far as feature go , it be full of they . it have a bass boost switch which I always keep on because I truly think they then sound fuller , and the rechargable battery be a great thing because I can come home and charge the amp right alongside my Zune and Cell Phone and everything will be ready in the morning . thanks Fiio for a grrreat product ! well worth the money . +517 Headphone POS 4 these be a good replacement for the ipod ear bud , which I hate ! they do not cost much , they do not fall out of you ear and it do not bother I when I end up give they away to my nephew and neice , when they lose they headphone . +300 Headphone POS 4 do you want comfortable earphone , with noise control and high quality sound ? look here . I do not have a ipod , but only a low cost mp3 player . I fool my friend with these neat white earphone . what better , the multi-size ear adapter fit tiny earhole -lrb- mine -rrb- , or ear channel that could hold a cigar . all without undue pressure . Perfect for a plane , car -lrb- passenger use only -rrb- , or when the spouse want to watch tv , and you want some background music . they be also easy to clean after gunk from you ear get on they . good deal . PS : bass and treble and midrange sound great ... which be the main reason for buying , right ? +747 Headphone POS 5 I just get a couple of these for my two daughter . they have the same sound as the mx-500 . consider that the cord be only 3 ft. long , and just about anything you hook it up to be likely to have a volume control , a volume control on the cord be pretty redundant . in fact , the other day , I have the mx-500 plug in for a long time , and then forget that there be a volume switch in the cord . as the day wear on , I could not quite figure why the sound volume be drop . it be only later that I realize that the volume switch have accidentally get bump down . so save a buck or two and get the mx-400 instead of the mx-500 . I have already review the mx-500 earbud - I 'll just repeat a few point about the mx-400 , since these be the same earbud : if you be a Sennheiser fan , these earbud have that classic sennheiser sound - a rich , ring clarity in the mid and high , and no excessive bass boost . like all non-sealing earbud , the bass be variable and get louder the more tightly the earbud be couple against the earhole . how tightly you get they to fit depend on you ear anatomy really . as for get they to stay in place , I discover that the best way be to wear they upside down and loop the wire around the back of my ear and under my chin . a alternative way to wear these earplug , much more discrete , but also a bit less secure , be to loop the wire over the ear and around the back of you neck , like sunglass strap . a small paper clip to the back of you collar will hold the wire in place and you can run the cord around inside you shirt . +476 Headphone POS 5 I acquire a pair of these that be discard at work , so I think I would try they to see if they work . not good -- tinny and wimpy sound . I almost throw they away , but think that I have some large ear tip -lrb- these come with what I assume be the medium tip , at least they be not right for my ear canal -- and yes I wash they throughly -rrb- and why not try they to see if that be the problem ? well , the large rubber tip I have for another set of phone fit , and totally solve the problem . these be great little phone if you can get a good fit . they be better than my $ 200 shure , and rival the Denons I mostly use when I be not downstairs with my sennheiser . I also appreciate the beefy wire and substantial connection , which they share with my shure professional in-ear . for $ 12 ? these be a absolute steal . +288 Headphone POS 4 it be pretty good . i do not have that much experience with more expensive one and all i have be small ear bud but with this price and sound quality i would say it be a good buy +781 Headphone POS 4 I wasnt look for anything fancy - just something that he could wear at night so i could sleep and not wake up due to the tv noise . I find it in this ! so much so that I will be order another set ! he say these be comfortable and i can tell you I havent be awaken with tv noise since we receive they . highly recommend . +197 Headphone POS 5 the overall performance -lrb- sound quality , bass , etc. -rrb- exceed my expectation . no disrespect to Sony , but I always assume bose provide a better product -lrb- especially at the $ 100 price point -rrb- . these headset prove I wrong . one big note for air traveler - very nice surprise be the noise cancel capability . grant not complete like the over the ear noise cancel headset , but very sufficient for a in the ear bud . +731 Headphone POS 4 sound quality be good , but the way it sit on top of you head will cause you to feel pressure\/headaches after 1 or 2 hour . then again , the whole thing 's pretty cheap , so for the quality it be a `` 3-star '' product , and amend for the price it be `` 4-star . '' +955 Headphone POS 4 sound : Great range and pretty flat signature , but not the most precision nor the biggest soundstage . look : lay non you desk or hang around you neck , these look phenomenally retro . on you head , they can be pretty bulbous -lrb- I would have prefer the flatter design of the old sr-60 -rrb- . comfort : not as comfortable as around-ear phone nor smaller on-ears , and the hard vinyl band will irritate a thinly-haired head , but nothing major to complain about . they be somewhat adjustable by bend the headband . durability : I cant imagine these will ever break or wear out . Grado be also well-known for they repair service , so you be cover not exactly design to be portable , it have a huge cable -lrb- in all dimension -rrb- and similarly large jack that do not want to work with ipod case -lrb- it can be drive by portable player , though -rrb- . it work great for sedentary use , though , and be comfortable enough to be worn for hour on end . +367 Headphone POS 5 already purchase this headphone an be one of my best purchase . the sound quality in normal music or movie be excellent and on hd movie or music be outstanding for $ 20.00 be a excellent product . very comfortable and luxury design . I really recommend this product . +259 Headphone POS 4 I have be use this headphone for last 3-4 week . nice headphone with clear sound at very low price . recommend it to anyone look for a cheap but good quality headphone . +355 Headphone POS 5 well ... at first I be surprise at how small these headphone be . the actual speaker be not too big so it be not wierd wear they and they fold up well and easily . the noise isolation be not great but it be much better than those retched ipod -lrb- bleh -rrb- headphone I have ! overall , this product be pretty darn good . +55 Headphone POS 5 I have the Sony MDR v700 which be value at 154.95 at BestBuy ! I see it and try it out because they have one out on display , and of course , it sound great when you do not have anything to compare it to . so I be set on buy it for it be look , sound , and the overpriced brand name of Sony . I manage to buy it use from someone . the condition look very good , and sound great . so I think I be all set . the guy I buy the Sony v700 even suggest I look into Sennheiser if great sound be what I be after . I want to because of all they great review , but there be not any place around that offer display of Sennheiser so that you can test the product out . anyway , my brother find a sennheiser hd201 so finally I could test out what all this talk be about . mind you the hd201 be at least 3 time less than the Sony v700 . I be pretty shock . the Sony could not filter out the buzz that I normally get when connect to my crappy speaker . the sennheiser do . it filter it out , have better sound quality and better lightweight feel . you can actually hear each musical note , rather than have it drown out by the bass which be what the Sony do . do not believe the brand name hype of Sony because it be not that great -- if you compare it to Sennheiser ! Sony 's higher-end DJ headphone can not even compare with the lower end of sennheiser ! it be clear to I . good luck ! +772 Headphone NEU 3 extremely comfortable headphone , great for jogging or work out . I find the sound on they a bit lack at time . mostly on the high , some song actually sound bad with they . I like em but I be not in love with they , will probably only keep these for athletic activity . +744 Headphone NEU 3 First and foremost let I start by say that I be a huge lady gaga fan , so I get intrigue into purchase these headphone . for $ 100 I definitely expect at least a little more . for one , they be not all that comfortable in the ear . I also be hope for they to be sturdier and well make . the metallic red paint be already come off in certain area , as be the white paint at the bottom of the headphone . I think that if you be a big lady gaga fan and you have a lot of money to blow then these headphone be for you . whereas if you can not stand Miss GaGa and you be go to be spend a lot of you money on this save it for something sturdier and less gaga-ish . +70 Headphone POS 5 most earbud that I have try tend to sound `` tinny '' and very shallow . these have a more realistic depth to the sound quality . the earbud fit in you ear very comfortably , you will hardly notice they . they be well construct and I love the auto wind feature . the case even have a flip door to place the earbud in after you be finish use they . I do not think you 'll find a better quality set of earbud for any price . +203 Headphone NEU 3 we purchase 25 of these headphone for a computer lab at we school . for the most part , the sound be decent , and they be relatively comfortable for the price . we select this model because of the affordability and the reduce likelihood of anyone want to walk off with a pair due to the rather clunky and unattractive design . -lrb- and to that credit , none have walk off yet . -rrb- however , we have now have to dig the end of the headphone jack out of five computer , as five of we pair have break off inside the computer audio port , simply from regular plug and unplug of the headphone . so , they may save you money in the beginning , but I would highly recommend throw they out after a year and buying replacement so you do not risk damaging you audio device when the 1\/8 '' jack break off inside of they . +666 Headphone POS 4 so I recently buy these at SEATAC airport for pretty much 3time the price offer on Amazon -lrb- supply and demand be a b@#%& -rrb- but i must say they be surprisingly a decent pair of earbud . the squishy tip can get lose easily ... ive already lose one ... but i love that they mold into you ear . I have the worst luck with anything i have to stick in my ear and im happy to say i have not have any inner ear pain from wear they for hour at a time ... in conclusion ... nothing 's perfect ... 4 star ... +390 Headphone NEG 1 when i receive these earbud , one of they do not work . the one earbud that do work sound no better than the apple earbud that come with all ipod . I would not waste you time with these , i have return mine . Amazon do make return easy . +417 Headphone POS 5 I have several brand of headphone include the excellent denon ah-1001 , $ 130 . but for every day use on all you radio , computer and other device for about $ 5.00 . the panasonic rp-ht21 headphone be a excellent choice with excellent sound . you cant go wrong when order these from amizon , I have several of these and will probably order more in the future . +623 Headphone NEG 1 not sure why , give Sennheiser 's reputation for \* high quality \* product , but the \* buzz \* from \* two different set of headphone \* for my Sennheiser HDR 180 , along with the r 170 backup headset I get really annoy I !! come to find out after wonder why , I twist off the removable earcup -lrb- use to access the battery -rrb- and both the r 180 \* and \* the r 170 have distort diaphragm ! they do not even play that loud , so what be with the low quality ?? pro : + the wireless function actually work con : - pay too much - listen too little - disappointed too much ! verdict : I be return the whole thing plus extra r 170 headphone , not worth the hassle ! +433 Headphone POS 5 I read a lot of review about these headphone not be comfortable and not worth it . I just get mine yesterday and I kinda wish I buy it long time ago . the sound be great and the headphone be the most comfortable headphone I have ever own +213 Headphone NEU 3 I experience a great deal of static depend on the position of my head while I be wear these headphone , so move around for the best static free reception be a real bother , and then I have to `` freeze '' my position . even with the comfortable ear cup , my ear will feel a little pinched long before a movie be over . the surround sound be not like a true 5.1 speaker system , but then , they do not claim it would be . I might have be better off with a cord headphone , but then there be the bother of put away the 15 ' cord . I do like the ability to move around the room , go to the kitchen , etc. without miss the sound , even though there will be some static come and go as I move around . +6 Headphone POS 5 I 'll state up front that I be no audiophile , but I love music and I be pretty picky about how my music sound . I order these so I can listen to some of my `` parental advisory label '' song at work : -rrb- and let I tell you , for the price you would be hard-pressed to do better . the sound be just awesome , I can not even find the right adjective to describe it . Rich , full , textured , deep , etc. etc. . you get the idea . I could pick up tiny detail and even flaw in the music . I also find they to be very comfortable once I get they properly adjust , but I will also say that I be a girl , and my ear and head be probably smaller than a lot of guy ' ear . I get headache from anything that clamp my head too much or be too heavy , which be a problem with a lot of headphone . the eh-150 be light and rest on the head without be too tight , which be a huge plus for I . overall I would say they be totally worth what you be go to pay for they . to get much better than this , you would have to go up considerably in price , and hey , some of we have other thing to spend money on besides a $ 500 pair of headphone - like actual music to listen to . : -rrb- get these can ! +735 Headphone POS 5 this be a great idea to swim listen to music i be so glad i buy this +641 Headphone NEU 3 these headphone perform wonderfully , especially consider they low price . I have listen to rock , pop , country , and classical music , and these phone have sound great in all genre . however , after extend wear , they begin to cause I outer ear pain where my ear touch the interior part of the headphone . I have since switch my primary headphone to the Sennheiser px100 . +117 Headphone POS 5 get this new headphone for my new sony nw-hd5 . these headphone be pretty cool . require some get use to because they go kinda deep into you ear but they efficiently reduce external noise . sound get louder because they go deeper into you ear so you have to listen at a lower sound volume and that eventually save power and quality of sound be unbelievable awesome . happy with the purchase and will highly recommend . +372 Headphone POS 5 I purchase these after a fair amount of review all of the wireless headphone out there . for personal comparison , I have a double pair of infrared headphone in the bedroom , and consider they be basically generic in brand , they do pretty well . these sennheiser be definitely a step-up in quality , be fairly simple to use and sound great for what I use they for , which be mostly record television program & internet-based talk radio . specifically , once they be tune , there be no static or pop noise . I like the fact that they can operate over 3 different channel , all of which can be fine-tuned . my only complaint with the tuning be that the tuning dial be right next to the volume dial and can be easily bump . they comfort be good and I hardly notice they after several hour of wear they , but they fall off fairly easy if I bend over . and , the ear pad do not close around the ear like some headphone do . battery life be pretty good & I get about 15 hour out of the no-name brand one that come with the headphone -- I expect to get about that amount of time out of my 900mah nimh rechargable aaa . the last thing I 'll mention be that the range on these be about 35-40 foot on the same floor and that be through several wall & with the transmitter sit up high . all in all , a good value right within my spending budget . +770 Headphone POS 4 lightweight and easy to use , good behind you neck on the airplane , compact and simple to store in carryon , good sound quality even though it do not fit like a ear bud . well worth the cost . +271 Headphone POS 5 I originally post the review that be below this paragraph . my only complaint have be that one of the hook have fall out easily . the company that sell these saw my review and immediately send I a new pair . I be very impressed with the customer service I receive and be enjoy my intact pair of earbud . -------------------------------------------------- I run a lot , and these earbud do a good job of stay in my ear while provide good quality sound . because the hook that go around you ear come off so easily , I end up lose one during a outdoor run . there be a extra set of ear hook , but because the base fall out along with the hook , I can not put one of the extra hook in . however , the one earbud without a hook be stay in my ear well , so I do not think it need a ear hook . this be because the earbud come in three different size , so the one I use fit my ear canal well . +212 Headphone NEU 3 overall the headphone sound great , but they really do not fit my head . they barely go over my ear and the plastic band pull my ear back and out . i would not recommend this product for anyone with a large size head . i wear a size 8 hat . so buyer beware !! +567 Headphone NEU 3 I buy my Triport headphone nearly a year ago , and mine have hold up well , but I have have to be \* very \* careful when I handle they . the sound quality really be teriffic -- excellent frequency response across the entire spectrum , with a `` warmth '' in the bass that be miss in every other set of headphon I have -lrb- admittedly , none of my other headphone cost as much as the Triport -rrb- . in general , these headphone be comfortable to wear , and the foam rim around the phone mold to you head , do a great job of block outside sound . at time , the thin headband become uncomfortable ; I find I can wear these thing for about a hour before the top of my head become sore from the pressure of the hard , narrow headband . as other here have point out , the construction of these thing be extremely shoddy . they look and feel like a $ 10 pair you might pick up at Family Dollar . the cord be dangerously thin , as be the headband . these be definitely not heavy-duty headphone . the connection where the headphone cup connect to the headband be begin to crack on mine -- it be only a matter of time before they 'll need tape reinforcement . because they be so flimsy , I never take mine out of the house . when I want to listen to something walking , jogging , or otherwise `` on the move , '' I take my sturdier Sony headphone , even though the sound be poorer . I use the Triports mainly for listen to music or movie at home when I do not want to disturb other in the house -- for that they do a decent job . it be a shame that for what these cost , they could not be better make . if you be prepare to spend this much for a good set of headphone , think twice before buy this set . for the same price , there must be better-built , decent sound headphone out there . +679 Headphone POS 5 let I start off by say I have a horrible first experience with this set of headphone . when I first get they , there be a very obvious , constant static sound out of the right earphone . I email customer service and they tell I to send it in . Annoying . two day later , I get a email back from they say a replacement pair be on the way . they replace my headphone almost immediately . one of the best customer service experience I have ever have . even before the burn in , the headphone boast extremely clear sound , beat out my dad 's $ 300 bose pair he get a year back . Bass - Unmatched . would not change a thing . it be like play the bass on a really expensive Steinway and compare it to a simple upright . Treble - extremely good . melody of any genre of music I listen to sing out , and be very clear . high - alright . not the best I have hear , as the sound can get quite harsh at time . comfort - it take some get use to . the odd design require that you put the headphone in and pull they around behind the ear . this be make easier by a bendable wire come off of the headphone themselves , allow you to shape the wire around you ear . it take a while to really get it down , but once you do they sit very comfortably -lrb- although they do go a bit far into the ear -rrb- . these headphone sound like those over-the-ear monster that cost you a arm and you spleen , but be very small and only will cost you a finger -lrb- be finger ~ $ 20 these day ? -rrb- . overall the best pair of headphone I have ever own . highly recommend +856 Headphone NEG 1 I like these headphone when I receive they it be bad quality , I can only hear on one side and if i hold the plug the right direction !!! NOT HAPPY : - -lrb- they be not the cheapest either ... +797 Headphone NEG 1 I get a pair of these purpleicious jbud earlier this month . I love the case and the review be pretty good ... I be happy with they the first time I use they , but the second time one of the earphone have very limited sound come out , if any . I be go to try to get a replacement pair send to I and will update this review base on how that experience go . +738 Headphone NEG 2 I purchase these , because of the large number of good review . I be quite surprised to find the sound quality poor and the volume low -lrb- compare with my previous pair of $ 12 Sony earbud -rrb- . Earbud fit be a personal thing and I only write this short note , because my experience be so different than the majority of user . +884 Headphone POS 5 these headphone be wonderful . they be the best pair of headphone I have ever own . I consider myself a audiophile . I have no electronic background but have purchase many high-end piece of audio equipment over the past 30 year . I currently own several headphone include the ah-d2000 -lrb- I purchase these for my daughter -rrb- and the Ultimate Ears triple . fi10 earbud to use when I travel . I be sure I would love the ah-d7000 but I feel the $ 600 difference be probably not justifiable . I be able to purchase these for $ 399 . there be a small , but noticeable , sound quality difference between the 2000 and 5000 headphone that I feel the less than $ 200 difference between they be worth it . Bass be deeper without distortion . Treble note be crisper . midrange be fuller . although I can listen to classical music , my preference be classic rock . Pink Floyd dark side of the Moon and The Wall sound fantastic . Led Zeppelin be amazing . for those that have comment that these headphone need a external amp to drive they , I disagree . although the majority of the time I listen to they use my Pioneer Elite receiver and they sound great , I plug they into my ipod and they sound very good . the quality of the music be not as full , rich , and `` powerful '' sound but more than I expect , especially give the review I read . I do not know if I would opt for the 5000 over the 2000 if the price differential be over $ 300 -lrb- I have see they from $ 399 to $ 699 -rrb- ; but , I feel it be a bargain at the $ 140 difference when I buy they . +710 Headphone POS 4 I be past 60 and for my age , my listening be worsen day by day that too after a surgery on my right ear . earlier I use to enjoy tv program -lrb- like Discovery , National Geography , HBO , Star Movies etc -rrb- almost till midnight . nowadays the tv program be become more and more garbled -lrb- to I ! -rrb- and could not enjoy the music and understand dialogue . I think I have to settle down for the rest of my life with this deficiency . I hear about wireless headphone which can be use for listen to tv program . I read all review about Sennheiser wireless headphone and the almost unanimous recommendation by user . earlier day it be difficult to get these world class electronic device in India . however thing be improve and to my surprise I could get this headphone slightly above the international price -lrb- r . 3,500 equivalent to about $ 75 -rrb- . I have use this for the past 2 week and I think I have make the right decision to go ahead with sennheiser . once I wear this and listen to tv , I be in new world altogether . the sound be so crisp and clear and I do not miss even one small whisper in movie and I be surprised how wonderful the normal mundane song be with lot of additional instrument , which be not hear earlier ! the range be quite astonishing . I live in a two storeyed concrete building and when I wear this and go to open terrace , I could still hear tv program -lrb- of course slight deterioration because of concrete structure -rrb- . within the house I can roam around all room and still do not have to miss anything . the battery last reasonably well -lrb- I have to change only once during the past 2 week -rrb- . I feel instead of rechargeable battery of rs120 or rs130 -lrb- which have almost identical specification -rrb- , this replaceable battery be better because we can always use nimh battery and separate charger , thereby ensure better reliability . overall I feel this investment be really go to serve I well . +473 Headphone POS 5 I still have not decide if these be supra-aural -lrb- on the ear -rrb- or circumaural -lrb- around the ear -rrb- headphone . rather than flip a coin , let call they hybrid headphone . unlike most `` big '' headphone , these do not give you sweaty ear or over-isolate you from you environment . I rate that a advantage -- you be more likely to be able to hear a phone ring or the doorbell , but they do mute ambient noise sufficiently to allow focus on music . fit : if you have big ear you may find they a bit snug , as they low-profile design suggest . I have a big head -lrb- 7 5\/8 hat size -rrb- but the earpiece easily drop down far enough . these ` phone be a good choice for extended wear -- they have enough grip so they do not slip and slide ear pad , but they do not feel like a clamp you 'll want to throw off halfway through a 2-hour dvd . sound : the sound , like the fit , be non-fatiguing . the treble be extend without be sibilant , while the bass be shaded toward tight-and-crisp rather than lush . look : these be great-looking headphone and they do not stick way off you head like many around-the-ear phone . build quality : these be make of lightweight but strong plastic . the ear pad be higher quality than typically find in this price range . the cord be a bit longer than average , and thicker than on most lightweight headphone , but it be not heavy . bottom line : if you be trade up from the cheapo headphone that come with a portable -lrb- usually a good idea , even with a ipod -rrb- , you will be surprise at how much the bass be improve . the non-fatiguing sound and fit of the hd-497 ` phone , combine with tight bass , win that fifth star . recommend . +314 Headphone POS 5 as a professional forensic audio analyst , I use these headphone constantly and they comfortabe , light , easy to use and the quality be pretty good for the price . I highly recommend this product . +699 Headphone POS 5 Perfect for run . they stay put , sound great , and you 'll forget you be even wear headphone . outstanding ! +898 Headphone POS 4 the sound quality on these headphone be pretty much what you would expect from Sony for this price , i.e. , not spectacular but good treble , slightly less good bass . to be honest , if you be jogging , you would hardly notice unless you be use to awesome sound all the time . my only problem with these be the problem with all stiff-headband headphone ; if you have a small electronic device -lrb- md or mp3 player -rrb- the headphone can not be cram wherever you put the device -lrb- unless you be willing to break you new headphone , which I negligently have do -rrb- . so , good for the sound , not as portable as the playing device of the 21st century . +211 Headphone NEG 1 the product be awesome !! unfortunately , my head be smaller in size , and the earclip just fall over the side of my ear . the sound be fab , I have no complaint in the product itself , just that they do not fit : -rrb- +435 Headphone POS 5 I have have both Vibe Vmoda headphone -lrb- the metal one , not the plastic one -rrb- and a pair of dennon black in ear headphone . although I have the Dennon 's for a couple of year , which could have cause some sound quality to drop , there be not a noticeable difference between these headphone and the dennon 's -lrb- I paid about $ 60 for the dennon 's on amazon . -rrb- I would definitely say these be very comparable to many $ 40 to $ 80 in-ear on the market . they come with all the accessory you would expect from a quality pair of headphone , with a case and insert . I be a stickler for sound , but could not shell out another $ 60 for some nice one and think I would have to settle for these , but have actually be suprize instead . I have consider buy another pair so I would have they on reserve ... one note , if you plan to use they while move quickly -lrb- like on a motorcycle or scooter -rrb- , they do have bad wind noise . I suppose I should not wear they in this situation anyway ... definitely worth the $ 20 ! +943 Headphone POS 4 I buy these a month ago to replace Aquapac 100 % waterproof headphone which would not stay in my ear no matter what I try -lrb- different earpiece , push in further , wear a swim cap , not wear a swim cap , etc. -rrb- . the earpiece on these penetrate further into my ear and remain in place until tug out , solve my problem . I only use they for swim because they be slightly uncomfortable and the sound quality be only fair , but swimming be a noisy business and sound quality be secondary to be able to hear anything at all . I remove the part that go over the ear as they be a nuisance to I . I have be very pleased with these , and have read here that they sometimes prematurely self-destruct I order a backup pair today . +604 Headphone NEU 3 short version be that this be a nice mp3 player . expansion slot for sd , solid construction -lrb- battery cover be a bit flimsy though -rrb- battery life be long . etc. etc. . biggest drawback that negate all of the above be that they drm cripple the little thing . it be so nice up until you find out you have to use TDK 's proprietory UniFi software . which unify nothing . it `` allow '' you to copy mp3 from you system to it . and then they be dead . you can not copy they back , you can not transfer they to anything else . and here be the best part , Windows do not recognize the device unless you install the software . it be all the software as well , if you merely remove the sd card you can move and copy mp3 to it via a reader and the mojo play they fine . but obviously this do not work for the main flash memory . and you need the software to make it work ... so unless someone reverse engineer the program , do not buy this . +858 Headphone POS 5 I order 4 headphone . all under $ 20.00 dollar . the first three , be junk . this one be great . great price , great sound , -lrb- with great base also -rrb- and it feel comfortable on . I also have a pair for $ 50.00 , this one be still better . thanks AMAZON !!! +185 Headphone POS 4 if you have someone who be hard of hearing , and you must spend a good amount of time with they , this be the product for you . no more scream over the television just to carry on a conversation . Easy setup . +815 Headphone NEG 1 I buy this product for my Ipod nano on April 16th . I only use it to go run at the gym . today be June 26th and the adapter have completely fall apart . the wire have rip out and the actual shell of the adapter have split open . again all I use this product for be run . very cheaply make I would not advise buy this product . +195 Headphone POS 5 the sound be great as be the volume . I have work with headphone for year as I use to own a recording studio and I can tell you from experience , when you be not actually listen to anything , you should take they off or put they around you neck as any headphone will start to get uncomfortable after long use . UPDATE : I just order two more ... +914 Headphone POS 5 at first I think the bass be too high , but then I realize my old headphone just could not play at such low level . the cord be make to be use with mp3 player , so it be too short to use on my pc , so I have to get a extender . they be very portable for not be ear bud ; even though , they will not fit in you pocket . I just wear it around my bicep or clip it to my belt , when not in use ; not around my neck though I sweat too much when work . +608 Headphone POS 4 I want something to control my iPhone in the car without have to continuously unlock the screen and press on-screen button while drive . this thing do exactly that for I . I can skip song and pause the music whenever I want without have to take my eye off the road . I agree with other reviewer that it would be nice to have the headphone plug directly into the remote , but it be a very minor complaint . this be a purchase I would gladly recommend to a friend . +975 Headphone POS 4 I think for the price this headphone set work quite well on occasion the sound be block from one of the mike and some scratch noise be hear . . but this be not often and for the purpose of listen to 30 second music file which be why I buy it I can live with it . . +143 Headphone NEU 3 since I can never find my earphone I think I get a back-up . pleasantly surprise with the sound quality , comfort and price . it use the whole ear vs the limited noise reduction of in-ear bud . this be a personel preference who find bud a ` pain in the ear ' . you can hear the sound around you and produce a good sound for the iPhone and be good to talk if you receive a call . in my opinion sound for the iPhone need a graphic equalizer . I use use these a for a lot of book and talk radio and find most device that I can wear without less ear fatigue . they have good mid range vs base . there seem to be a bias -lrb- pun intend -rrb- for the youth vs the old when it come to sound and I believe that most manufacture target the young . +487 Headphone POS 5 I love these headphone . when I be in the room with the transmitter , they sound be as good as good wire headphone . that say , they be on the big side -lrb- compare to wire headphone , and I do get interference when I walk around we apartment -lrb- the old building have a lot of brick and steel -rrb- . they also hold a charge as long as I have need they , and seem to charge quickly . construction seem solid - I expect they 'll hold up over time . -lrb- I have now own these for two month , btw -rrb- +685 Headphone POS 5 I have trouble wear ear bud and need headphone . the sound on these be very clear and with the noise cancel feature I can keep the volumn low and still enjoy the music . they be expensive but be worth the extra expense for the quality you get . +165 Headphone POS 4 I buy these as a replacement for some Motorolla Rokrs that I have buy and stop function . these be comfortable , but less compact because of the rigid plastic framing . it work well if you be able to store they with the case they come in . I usually have they in my bag . the case be rigid to keep from be crush . I be a little weary of the wiring at the pivot point for the frame . if they get pinch and fray the wiring , then it will be pointless to have purchase these . but for now , they be comfortable and work with a Sony dongle that clip into a ipod 9-pin dock . it pair easily . +291 Headphone POS 4 I be almost 71 year old and I be hear impaired from 40 year work in a power plant . I have use a pair of wireless headphone for the past several year that finally give up the ghost . I have spend the past year look for a replacement . none satisfy I because I want to be able to control the volume in each ear . even with in canal hearing aid , my left ear be worse than my right . I be not able to find anything until I run across the rs-140 . it have a balance control which allow I to `` balance '' the gain to each ear . I have read many of the report on this site which include some very negative comment . however , my experience have be nothing but good . no hiss , coverage throughout the house , no dropout spot . excellent sound , easy to understand what I hear from the tv . I subtract one star because they do have one fault . the volume control be on the backside of the earphone and when I attempt to lay my head on a pillow , it move the volume control . I have to be careful of this . I can also see where those who use outside the ear hearing aid will have a problem with the headphone push the ear against the hearing aid . other than that ... a very fine piece of gear ! I recommend they . +107 Headphone POS 5 these be great - money well spend ! they sound great , fit well and be very light and comfortable . it be exactly what I be look for in a set of headphone that I could use at the gym . and all at a great price from Amazon . thanks ! +562 Headphone POS 5 I have own the iGrado 's for about 6 month now , and after extensive heavy usage they be still work perfectly . the sound be phenomenal for a product that be intend to deal mostly mp3 file . with these you can easily tell the difference in music file that be 128kbps vs 320kbps ; thus , you be obviously go to want file with larger rate . as far as the comfort level go , the headband be not adjustable , but it form to my head rather quickly and have be comfortable for I since . my biggest problem with these headphone be actually the spot where the wire connect to the headphone , as they be constantly be bent when they be set down , put on , etc. . however , they have yet to show any sign of give out , so it might not be a big deal . Definatley a good buy . +610 Headphone POS 5 I buy the in-ear headphone look at the review post here and be I glad that I do . . the in-ear headphone be really good . I doubt if I can buy anything like it compare to the price I pay for it . one reason for I to buy it be because it have a support that make the in-ear headphone cling on to the ear and not fall of while run . try use traditional headphone earlier and it will just not stick on my ear . just after run couple of step the traditional headphone would fall off but these wont . . so happy with the buy . . BTW the sound output be really good for a good hour of music . . the more you burn -lrb- use -rrb- the headphone the better sound it give . I will not be hold responsible if someone will literally burn the headphone . ; -rrb- +46 Headphone POS 5 I buy these for watch movie with my hubby on the airplane and they be great , simple to use , cheap and best of all , we could both hear and see the movie at the same time-i have also use these in stadium while tuning in to the local sport channel ... very good little gadget +90 Headphone POS 5 these headphone be amazing ! great feeling when I take they out of the box . they do not cause too much pain after you have have they on for a long time and they have pretty good noise cancelation . ca not forget the clear , crisp sound they have . simply audio ! one thing I do not like about they be that I feel like they will break so easy . good news be that they be build Sony tough . Great buy ! +295 Headphone POS 5 Theese headphone be so sick !! they have great sound , look amazing , and be well worth the money ... the sound leakage be not as bad as people say unless you have it on full volume . the battery last a really really long time ! the only thing I would like improve be the noise cancellation ... I own a pair of Solo HD 's too and they block out almost as much as the studio even though they do not have noise cancellation . I would defiantly recommend this to someone who like quality sound !!! +734 Headphone POS 5 these be not really noise canceling , but noise cover headphone . the `` noise cancellation '' feature really just generate some white noise and boost the volume a little . they trick you ear into block out certain frequency . I doubt they work as well as bose 's $ 300 headphone , but for as cheap as they be , they be a steal . I work in a office where people be addict to speakerphone and turn they conversation up so that I can hear every word clearly . I be a computer programmer and it be a bit difficult to work with 4 different conversation blare in my ear . I use to have regular headphone and would turn they up to drown out the noise -lrb- bad for eardrum -rrb- . with these , I can turn music on a low volume and can not hear a thing ! the sound quality be not so good and they smell like new plastic for the first month , but they be cheap and cancel noise well . also , they be collapsable and come with a battery and a nice little carry case so they will not get scratch when you be travel . +251 Headphone POS 4 i be not a serious stereophile ... but i know a thing or two about bad headphone . especially the kind you get for free with every portable audio product you buy . bottom line , the quality for these headphone be amazing . you can turn up whatever you be listen to , and not worry about distortion . do i mention the price ? dirt cheap my friend , dirt cheap . the only downside be they do not fit comfortably for people with glass , and there be a little plastic piece in the center of the earphone that can be bothersome if not positioned perfectly . or maybe it be just my ear ? +867 Headphone NEG 2 I order 2 pair , black\/orange for myself and silver\/green for my wife , as replacement for we ipod earbud -lrb- yes , we be yuppie -rrb- . I have to say , the mdq-q23lp look really cool , as you can probably tell by look at they online . however , that be where the positive aspect end . they be physically uncomfortable . I make sure I put they on right . I can see how I could eventually get use to the jab behind the ear , but why should i. what I could never get use to be the flat sound . I be not expect studio quality out of this design in this price-range but I be neither expect the 2-can , 99-cent store , flatness . play with the eq on the ipod help somewhat , but not very much . finally , I can not stand it when I can hear people 's music through they earphone over the subway noise , 12 foot away . I do not mean the tsk-tsk-tsk or a occasional sax . I mean when you can actually hear the lyric . I think mdq-q23lp be one of those headphone . I do all sort of sound test and even at half the volume -lrb- much too quiet for my taste -rrb- they be extremely noisy on the outside . again , I be not expect the type of sound isolation you get out of earbud or the noise-cancelling headphone , but give I a break ... these baby give the term `` share music '' a new meaning . I 'll let my wife deside about she pair , but I be send mine back . too bad , they look great -lrb- hence 2 star -rrb- . +302 Headphone POS 5 my bose ie2 's be use almost exclusively at gym workout . after experience some discomfort with the original bud on the ipod nano5 , I move to ` Sennheiser PMX80 Sport Series II behind the Head Phones ' and the ` Sony mdr-as20j ' . after 13 month , the pmx80 leave bud quit work -lrb- no visible sign of failure -rrb- . the Sony 's be ok , probably exceptional for the cost , but do not deliver . I then step up to the bose ie2 . base on the ease of comfort , build quality , and sound I recommend the bose ie2 's . it should be note that ambient sound be perceptible during use -lrb- except at full volume - that be I rock to a new song -rrb- , which I find advantageous in the gym . the stayheartm design effectively position the bud very comfortably on the outer ear while channel music to the middle ear . the cord thickness , connection design , and individual inspection by bose address the quality of build . I be not a audiophile , but they sound excellent to I . overall , pretty awesome stuff while biking , run , and lift weight ... do I mention the occasional ping pong game ? with the wide spectrum of choice in this marketplace , you can purchase the bose ie2 's with confidence . +118 Headphone POS 5 just arrive this afternoon and I be blow away by the excellent sound , especially at this price . so far have listen to folk -lrb- Phil Brown by David Mallett and the lover 's Waltz by Molly Mason and Jay Ungar -rrb- , bagpipe -lrb- Highland Cathedral by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards -rrb- , celtic -lrb- star of the County down by after class and ramblin ' Rovin ' Robin by Battlefield Band -rrb- , classical -lrb- con te Partiro by Andrea Bocelli and let the Bright Seraphim by Handel perform by Kathleen Battle and Wynton Marsalis -rrb- , 60 's -lrb- the summer song by Chad and Jeremy and hello , Goodbye by the beatle -rrb- country -lrb- then by Brad Paisley , Start a band with Brad and Keith Urban , and everybody want to go to Heaven by Kenny Chesney , Bobbi with a I by Phil Vassar -rrb- , rock -lrb- black and White and Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson , Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffett , Layla by Eric Clapton , Sloop John B and help I Rhonda by the Beach Boys and if I be a boy by Beyonce ' -rrb- and all sound accurate to I . I hear some vocal , instrumental and drum part that have not be clear on much more expensive headphone . these be on ear style and be comfortable to I so far - behind the neck piece and over ear support hold they just right for I and be fine with glass . these do not appear to adjust , though they fold compactly for storage case . they pair easily on the first try with my MacBook pro . good volume and sound be distinct and true to they voice and instrument , good response to my equalizer , which overcome a slightly weak bass to my ear . Bass will not rattle you tooth and may be a bit too light for some tastes\/some musical style - though the bass line in the above song come through strong and clear though not dominant , mid and high sound excellent , crisp and clear to I . much nicer than I expect for the price and especially since it appear headphone be a new line for this company . if you need bluetooth headphone , I would suggest you try these soon before the manufacturer find they can substantially increase the price , give the overall quality . case be excellent quality . I do not notice a off smell as note by another reviewer . charge fairly quickly for right out of the box , via usb2 and minus usb . build quality look fine so far , but I would not toss they in the bottom of my gym bag without the case . with case , they would be fine . they be lightweight . volume increase\/decrease and fast forward , reverse control be all on the right earpiece along with the pause\/take a call switch . no loss of signal until several rooms\/walls away and then it be minimal and short live . +24 Headphone POS 5 this product be incredible . I be really glad I have it , but the sad part be : the amazon site have notice I about some tax of export , but when the product arrive to Brazil I pay a expensive tax that I be ' t expect for . the product become very expensive with this unpected tax . but anyway , I be very satisfied with the headphone , I be use it to edit short film in my IMac . +489 Headphone POS 5 I buy these after read several review on Amazon . some be not so flattering but I find these headphone amazing ! some of the performance come from the fact that the phone have little rubber tip that seal the headphone in you ear canal . it sound uncomfortable but the rubber be very thin and it really be not . the phone come with a few spare tip of different size . I be listen to Tocata and Fugue in D minor at the moment and it be incredibly realistic . I would say that the base be strong but I think the response across the frequency spectrum be very good . I would be very happy even if I have pay twice as much . +642 Headphone NEG 1 I receive in plenty of time , I buy two . one make a humming noise , the other pick up cell phone and radio signal . I contact the seller and be tell I would receive instruction on send the 2 item back . I never receive these instruction . . I want to return both of the headphone . +588 Headphone NEG 2 the headphone be fine . the microphone be awful . it twist away easily and really do not have enough heft to work unless you hold the piece up to you face while talk . it be a real disappointment . note the audio control do not work on my android phone or MacBook , which I think be suppose to have the same control as a iPhone . you may want to double-check its compatibility with you phone . +601 Headphone POS 5 I be into quality , and that be what you will get from these Technics headphone . I be not a DJ , but I know these headphone work great for home listening . the volume can be turn up without any distortion at all . you may even want to record you mp3 at higher bitrate because you will be able to hear the difference between 128 and 256 . the headphone be very well design and comfortable . I find it hard to stop listen to they because I like they so much . the coil cord stay out of the way . these headphone may be a little too bulky to wear walk down the street , but they be well worth they price . they also block out many ouside noise and other people in the room can not hear the music you play at normal level . this product will truly provide a new listen experience . +657 Headphone POS 5 i get these for 15 buck and i wont go back its awesome although sort of cheap and break easily its alright though because you have a warranty +199 Headphone POS 5 this headset be a very well think out design . it use 1 cord not 2 like a lot of headphone out there . the cord be short maybe 18 inch long . this be nice because you do not have to worry about a cable flop around when you run . it fit very well and be very comfortable . I do not feel it when I run . +702 Headphone NEG 1 I get these as a sad gift - the overall sound quality be quite bad -lrb- when nc - noise cancellaton-is turn off -rrb- . not much low frequency and minimal high frequency content . so purely as headphone - they fall at the bottom of the heap . with nc turn on , there be some amplification of the sound - so it sound louder . the nc effect itself - well - its kind of work , but not much . probably about 20 percent of the noise be take care of . do not even try compare the performance of the bose to these -lrb- I do so - use a co-passenger bose qc3 - and it be a revelation - one work beautifully and this one barely do so -rrb- . I plan to get a pair of Panasonic RPHC300 now -lrb- since I do not have $ 300 to burn -rrb- . I be curious how the nc effect be implement for the left and right earpiece . there be no wire that connect the right side -lrb- with the battery and nc electronics -rrb- with the left earpiece . go figure this one out : -rrb- . I have some idea - but that would mean this be not a stereo headset . too lazy to experiment further with this piece of junk . the good thing be they fold quite well . +998 Headphone POS 4 the first thing I notice about these headphone be the comfort -- the material be very soft and fit just around my ear -lrb- though it may not work for other , as I have very small ear -rrb- . the headband , stuff with a little cotton , fit especially well over my head , and do not beat down on the top as some other plastic one have . after I put they on , I notice that I could hear EVERYTHING ... which might be good or bad , depend on its use . it be good for closed performance -lrb- without a audience -rrb- because every tiny nuance provide by the performer be present crystal-clear . in fact , at certain very , very quiet pause , I even could hear the orchestra turn the page -lrb- literally -rrb- ! however , it be not so good for live performance , where every obnoxious \* cough , cough \* or \* HACKGH , HACKGH \* from the audience can be hear , equally crystal-clear . another trait of these headphone be that , when I let other try they , the headphone do not leak . that be , I can not hear what they be listen to unless I jam my ear against theirs , and they certainly can not hear I . this `` containment '' of the sound be probably the reason why the music sound much louder through these than through the other I have try . overall , I think these headphone be worth the price . however , they do not leak as much sound as the Panasonic noise-canceling headphone , and they be especially comfortable and extremely , I repeat extremely clear . +632 Headphone POS 5 this product be another great buy for I and for a cheap price that I have save a x amount of dollar . +329 Headphone POS 5 I find these headphone quite comfortable , even after a few hour of use . I be surprised to see many review say that they be extremely uncomfortable . sure they be not the most comfortable headphone I have worn , but they be pretty good . pro : dazzling detail . exhilarating `` surround '' experience . in-your-face presence ... like be in the front seat at a concert . and good balance : it be exciting to hear the crisp treble , warm mid , and full-but-unexaggerated bass - all at once . con : the treble can sound a bit harsh at time , depend on the recording , especially for classical music . I just turn down the treble a bit for those recording , and the result be easier on my ear . they do not block out external noise at all , and other in the room will easily hear you music as they ` leak ' sound . but I have read that ` open ' headphone like these have potentially better sound quality than isolate one . +242 Headphone POS 4 excellent headphone for clarity and range , and reasonably comfortable . only down side be that be on-ear , they tend to slip when use while engage in active task . +756 Headphone NEU 3 I love the sound of Sennheiser headphone and will not buy headphone from anyone else . I have two different sennheiser noise cancel headset for travel , a hd555 for home , earbud for the gym , and I buy the hd218 to wear while walk my dog . like Mindme , I also find problem with the headphone be too loose on my head -lrb- and without comment on what be in it , I have a pretty large cranium -rrb- , and the cord on mine also break quickly . a comment I would make for the manufacturer be that if you be optimize a headphone for ipod , then the cord length ought to be right for have the thing in you pocket . I be a pretty tall guy , but when I have the ipod in my pocket there be still way too much slack in the cord with the result that it snag on everything around the house from door catch to drawer pull to my dog paw . combine this with a connector backshell that do not provide much strain relief to the cord , and you be go to see a lot of cable failure . on the upside , this headset make a ipod sound like a piece of serious audio equipment and they be comfortable enough to wear for hour . +156 Headphone POS 5 I like these enough to buy they again . mean I think I have lose they on a recent camping trip , so I order another pair . this time in blue so they be easier to keep track of . I find they two day after receive my new one . Perfect , now I can just leave one in the house and one in my car . they sound great on the Ipod and on the phone . people also tell I the clarity of my voice be very good , which seem to be a problem with other headset . also the thicker cord be tangle free compare to most headphone . overall , im happy with the product . also very comfortable , im able to wear they without they bother I after awhile . ive have better luck with these than some I have own for much more money . really cant go wrong for the price . +534 Headphone POS 5 I buy this know that the blackberry torch be not list on the compatibility list and that the control be design for the iphone . my mistake , but it do not mean that this headset be not awesome . it be . sound quality be very focus on basis , even with some vibration if you allow yourself to hear music at loud volume . for hear podcast while walk be great ! , the voice be crisp and the noise isolation do not allow distraction on the silence . some have say that the cable create noise artifact while on the move , but I use they while walk I hear no artifact or noise whatsoever . on the blackberry torch , this headset work just like a normal earbud . Play button answer a call but the mic doe not turn on and can not hear the caller through the earbud . Media control be also useless on the torch . you be warn , this seem to only work on the phone list . +965 Headphone POS 5 I spend at least 10 hour a week in these mix music professionally . I have own mine since the late 80 and have two pair : one for home and one for work . I have replace the earpad about every 8 year . these be quite simply one of the best ten product I have ever own . the sound quality be unparalleled . they be efficient enough to be drive loud from a computer or a ipod . I have a super large head and these be very comfortable . those of you complain they be too tight do not understand how to adjust they - pull the earpiece down if they be too tight . I have never find a better pair at any price . the fact that these be under $ 100 , last essentially forever , and sound superb , be a modern miracle . flat frequency response as high as any human ear can hear and lower than most any equipment can produce , and yet the sound be please from just about any source . buy a pair of they without hesitation . you 'll never regret it . +664 Headphone POS 5 I purchase these headphone to use in the gym . for under $ 10 I figure it be worth a chance . my klipsch s4 's be not stay put so despite they excellent sound quality I want to try something that would even if it mean less quality . besides the Klipsch phone I have use shure , Ultimate Ears , Senheisers , Sonys , Koss ... . . you name it and I have probably try they . these phone match up pretty well as gym phone . nice fit -lrb- better than most -rrb- , good sound and durable . for $ 10 it be a no brainier ! just buy they , period ! +335 Headphone NEU 3 for I ... they hurt my ear . the clip be wonderful and adjustable , never fall out . but the little bud where the music come out be make of hard plastic , and start hurt my ear after about 20 minute . sound be great for the price , and if you find that they do not hurt you ear , would probably be the perfect cheap headphone for work out . +432 Headphone NEU 3 maybe I have a peculiar shaped ear , but it seem these earbud can fall out quite easily . I have try all the different silicone size and it still do not fix the issue . especially when I be eat , the chew movement displace the earbud very quickly . another note , and this maybe be true of all in-ear earbud , be any movement to the wire will be translate to noise in you ear . I can hear all the rustle as I move around . other than these issue , sound quality be good compare to my stock ipod one . +807 Headphone POS 4 ... I agree with another commentator who question whether the product be sturdy enough to last . I guess I 'll see , as I do not intend to get on another airplane without it . +713 Headphone NEG 1 I be think that a 900mhz wireless headphone would at least equal the sound quality of a cheap , generic 900mhz phone . nope , not even close . while the headphone be comfortable , and look pretty snazzy , this thing contain a lot of static . it will also intermittently pause and zone out , no matter how close you be to the antenna . the range be a joke . after 20 foot , it 'll basically turn on and off . it be just a terrible product , and the only benefit I get be the knowledge that RCA actually have the gall to release such a shoddy product , so I can avoid that company from now on . +264 Headphone POS 4 well worth the price . I purchase these for my husband for on-line gaming . he love they and say they sound great . only downfall be the hard plastic piece that go directly on you head . if you be bald -lrb- like my hubby -rrb- you might need to pad it up . +742 Headphone POS 4 what I like about these headphone be the comfort . they come with ear piece in various size ; it be easy to find one that fit my ear well and do not pop out easily . the cord be a good length to connect with my ipod in my pocket or on my desk . my son , a 17-year-old audiophile , be far more impressed by the sound quality than he have be by the more-expensive set he buy at the Apple store . +350 Headphone NEG 1 I run . I sweat . I be not be pay by Philips corporate headquarters to write this review . I too have spend somewhere in the hundred try to find that perfect , do not slide out of my ear after a mile , with good sound quality headphone . well sadly enough , these be not it . the sound be embarrassing -lrb- which be not why I buy they -rrb- , the headphone start to slide as soon as you be ready to run some distance , and you might be think : how do a pair of headphone slide when they be ear clip on ? low and behold , this set have manage to do so . and once they have start to slip , it be over ... it be all over . in my experience , there be no way to get they comfortably back on , even if you have dry they . the sound be even worse than before if I even bother to dry they mid-run , they wont fit snug again in my ear if they have to be take off mid-run , and they have this ridiculously long cord , long enough to hang myself out of frustration . I always know Philips make crap electronics , but I be willing to try anything , I have about ten or fifteen pair and they be all lame . the best pair I have have , have be a Sony pair , that be not even sport edition , or waterproof , or anything -lrb- they be however expensive -rrb- . if you be consider buy this product , I would keep look , there be better choice out there , although more expensive ... consider what you will spend on this pair and then another pair , and spend about that amount to begin with . or just by a pair of cheapo Skull candy headphone , they be about as sport friendly as these . good luck . sorry philip , I have to tell the truth . +456 Headphone NEG 1 the sound quality of these headphone be relatively poor but that be not why I return they . the range be about 25 foot on the same floor and then loud static would come and go at different location in the house . this be very consistent . in the basement they be useless . I replace they with a set by rca model wph150 for $ 30 less and the sound be much better and no problem anywhere in the house . +924 Headphone NEG 1 I be sorely disappoint with these earphone . at first I be pretty excite about they ; they seem to be work great -- I buy they to replace a pair of iFrogz earphone that suddenly stop work . after about two month I start have the same problem with these as I do with my previous earphone . I have music on , and midsong , the earphone stop work . I could hear the music fine , but the singer be so fade out that I could not even hear the word . it sound almost like I be listen to someone sing underwater . this be the same thing that happen with my last earphone . I be very upset that I spend the money on these only to have they break on I . I would not recommend buy these . +792 Headphone POS 5 these pone be a excellent value and have a great sound for listen to audiobook . +931 Headphone POS 5 this be a headphone i have always keep buy for year . it be durable and perfect for studio , because the artist i work with like to hear the bass make it seem like its live . I enjoy listen to music through this head phone and be comfortable . +468 Headphone POS 5 these ear-bud -lrb- ? -rrb- plug be perfect for those of we that can not stand the typical ear-bud that come with most audio product . you know , the one that constantly fall out or shift around . these sound great and the end on these be just like the ear plug you will find in a factory or hunting\/sports store gun dept. . you squeeze\/roll the foam , quickly insert into ear canal , hold in place for a few and they expand , do . they be very comfortable and stay in place . my wife wear hers to bed since I have a snore problem , lol . she listen to one of those `` ocean sound '' cd 's or something similar . look around on here and for the price buy a few pair , just in case , or one for home , work , travel ... the phono end be gold , also . the only thing I be concern with be the wire . it be very , shall we say , flexible . well , they be not parachute strap so it should not be a problem . +971 Headphone POS 4 these admittedly dinky-looking headphone give surprisingly good sound . Bass be full and the rest of the frequency spectrum be nothing to sneeze at . since statistically speak you be like most people , you 'll be plug these into either a mp3 player full of badly-ripped , low-bitrate compress audio track or else a crummy portable cd player with a extremely noisy potentiometer for a volume control . buy better than these perfectly respectable headphone would be a waste of money . the Sportapros fold up too , which make they great for a coat pocket . also , the headband can fold in such a way that the headphone look like `` street-style '' headphone that be oh-so-popular these day . this make they clamp on you head a bit more , but it can not possibly be any less comfortable than any other headphone in such a configuration . I think it look stupid that way , but hey , if that be you cup of tea so be it . as for noise isolation , these do not offer much . if you really do not want to hear the subway along with you gangsta rap , you should be look at a pair of noise-cancelling phone or better yet in-ear headphone such as those make by etymotic . -lrb- the latter be a few time the price of the Sportapros on the bottom end , mind you . -rrb- it even come with a fake leather bag that I keep laundry money in . -lrb- keep a set of headphone this inexpensive in such a bag be just scream `` I have ocd ! '' -rrb- bottom line , this be the best pair of portable headphone you can buy for the price . they do not sound worse than the low-end sennheiser in this price range , for example , and they be quite a bit smaller . +495 Headphone NEU 3 these work well , but I have some issue with they sturdiness . I have to return they -lrb- can not recall the issue now , it be be a while -rrb- & and they send I a refurbish replacement . they now have a crack in the right side & the foam be disintegrate . not bad for the price . +463 Headphone NEG 2 maybe it be just I , but these have not live up to my expectation . the sound do not seem that much better than the ear bud that come with my mp3 player . on top of that , I can not get they to stay in my ear . I have really small ear canal , so again maybe it be my fault . even when use the smallest set of ear plug I can not get they in fair enough to block out ambient noise and they fall out every time I move my head . I would not recommend these headphone for people with small ear opening . +621 Headphone POS 5 it do just the job it should . the build quality be okay at best . but you can not beat the price ! +110 Headphone POS 4 first , the good part . these be the second set of Jensen headphone I have purchase . they be a very good value compare to some of the other I have try . the downside be that the signal will very slowly drift over the life of the battery , but usually a slight tap of the tuning knob will bring it back . the newer model like this one appear to have better signal aquisition , so this may solve some of the drift problem I see in older model . battery life be pretty good , I usually go through a set every 6-7 day on the old one . -lrb- the old model require 3 aaa 's instead of 2 however -rrb- now the bad , the production value be rather poor on the electronics in these headphone . my first pair start go rather glitchy on I , sometimes I would have to lightly hit the side to get they to find the signal again , and the battery life start go down drastically . it also would rapidly lose signal when it have this problem . I take they apart and notice that the soldering job be quite substandard , and there be several uninsulated speaker wire that be short out . after put some insulation in on the board , the headphone start work perfectly . I take these apart after I recieve they and notice the same problem . the headphone be also pop loose from its plastic fitting due to substandard glue . both easily fixable if you be good with electronics . +154 Headphone POS 5 I be not a headphone snob , I be just look for a great headphone at a good price . the cord be very nice and flexible and they come with a bunch of different ear adapter ... take the time to get the fit right . the fact that there be a case be great ... the fact that there be no winder or some way to constrain the cord in the case be a minus . but I do not expect to get a case ... so I can not downvote on a extra . the best bass I have ever experience in a in-ear headphone . tl ; dr buy they , they be good . +93 Headphone POS 4 these headphone arrive within a good time frame . the packaging be very nice consider it be use . I could not really verify if they be fake or real ... but the sound quality be deep and whole and I could not complain about they . these headphone have a tendency to cancel out noise around you . so good that someone will be talk to you rather loudly and you 'll struggle to be able to hear they . these headphone can be problematic if none of the bud fit you consider you get a wide range of size . for what I pay for they these headphone be amazing . not only do they sound good but they be out of the ordinary `` futuristic '' look . people always be look at my headphone and comment on how cool they look . if you be a big fan of in-ears please by all means go for they . -lrb- p. s -rrb- to save yourself from play the be it real or fake game I suggest get it for the full market price . the money be worth the peace of mind . +357 Headphone NEU 3 the sound be great on these and they block much of the surround noise . have the long cord be nice too . as other have report , they be too tight and be slightly too small for the ear . I kind of have to tuck my ear in but be not uncomfortable . I do not think my head or ear be larger than average . what stink for I be that I pay just under $ 40 in Feb 2012 and now they be less than half that ! I 'll be look at the newer version to see if they have a better fit since they be currently $ 20 . +50 Headphone NEU 3 I love the headphone when I first get it . but the annoyance do not take long to appear . and they all have nothing to do with the audio quality of this product . the headphone will pull you hair , no matter how short it be . I trim my hair down to half a centimeter and the band still manage to somehow yank on it . very annoying ! so as long as you be bald or intend to use these over a cap , you should be fine . otherwise , stay away . secondly , I have a issue with the durability of the cable\/cord on the connector . I use this on my ipod touch for not even a whole month and the rubber have tear off . I have to use some electrical tape over that part to keep the cord from further damage . although they have a unconditional lifetime warranty , I have not get around to send these back for a replacement yet . +929 Headphone POS 5 the death of the ear bud headphone end when Sony take over Aiwa and cancel the `` Aiwa HP-V600 Headphones with Acoustic Plus Technology and 2-Way Code Holder '' the bass be unreal ; while be complement by the high end sound . I have try all the Sony 's and they can not even compare to this sound ! the price be unbelievably moderate , consider the sound you be get . these should be re-marketed , as I be still look to buy a 3rd pair !! to quote spinaltap -lrb- the movie -rrb- `` these go to eleven !! UPDATE : -lrb- the present 2012 -rrb- where Sony and the like , miss the point be it be not the size of the silicone ear pad that matter , it be the size of the actual speaker . today they be make so small they get lose in the ear canal , and find the bass frequency be nearly impossible , without jingle they to death . the holder , go straight into you ear canal , and from the get go these `` rock '' with a basic frequency response of -lrb- 5hz-25hz -rrb- these make my $ 10.00 walkman sound like a portable Home Entertainment System . the bass and treble be just there , Larger speaker , not at a curve like bose , but straight dead on in the ear , it work . essentially after reappear briefly in 2006 , Sony buy out Aiwa and take they off the market , and put something out with almost the same frequency specification , but no way to find they with in you ear , as the speaker be so small , that the giant silicone pad be totally worthless . second best to the Aiwa HP-V600 Headphones with Acoustic Plus Technology and 2-Way Code Holder be its sister brand call the : Aiwa HP-V161 Headphones with Acoustic Plus Technology -lrb- Metallic Silver -rrb- . almost the same frequency specification , just a larger ear piece fit , but spectacular sound as well . if I know in 2002 , what I know now I would have 100 pair of the `` Aiwa HP-V600 Headphones with Acoustic Plus Technology and 2-Way Code Holder '' if I could find they today I would almost do the same . what have I replace these with ? after careful research , and pricing ... ... ... ... ... nothing . I listen to music at home now only where it can be hear properly , as larger headphone , be a complexly different story . they be still fantastic ; but that be another review see here in another section . +547 Headphone POS 5 this be by far the best pair of earphone I have ever have . my first pair break and I didnt hesitate to spend the ask price for a new pair . they be great for work out . they wont fall out and they dont hurt you ear like the other earphone do -lrb- after extensive wear -rrb- . also this be the best quality sound I have hear for the price and the size . its just perfect for I and it even match my pink nano ipod . +448 Headphone POS 4 the noise cancellation be not as good as bose . but it cost so much less and get you most of the way there . the audio quality be passable , as people have note it be much quieter with nc turn off but nothing that the volume control on you media device will not solve . I also do not have problem with noise leakage , in a office setting with workstation whir on desk , you can not make out sound at 1 foot from the headphone . you mileage may vary with ambient sound and volume of music . +1 Headphone NEG 1 the earbud be useless ! they didnt even work . the poorly make product be obviously a reason for it be so cheap . waste my money and time +35 Headphone POS 4 so , my SkullCandy earbud die on I a few week ago . I need something cheap and good to replace they , and I run into these . they produce about the same sound I would expect from my brand new Logitech speaker I use for my computer , and they produce the best sound I have ever hear in a speaker without spend hundred of dollar . the review convince I , and thus far they be the best pair I have own . the only reason I give it 4 star instead of 5 be the difficulty in swap the part that go in you ear . you basically have to turn the outer part inside out and pinch and wiggle the inner part that attach to the speaker until it catch . I suppose that mean they be more durable and will last longer , but it be a pain . +424 Headphone NEG 1 unless you be man with very large ear , these ear hook will do nothing for you . everyone in my office try these on and only a guy with abnormally large ear could keep they on for more than a few seconds . +100 Headphone POS 5 as a Headphone nut , I find these great for a reasonable price . a little bit of static occasionally as with all cordless headphone . these be comfortable and not too hot for longer use . +450 Headphone POS 5 surprisingly alot more base than expect , but not overwhelming . good sound for the priceof $ 20 . would recommend buy on sale , definitely worth the purchase . no crack as base go up , great and good fit for in ear headphone . +571 Headphone POS 5 I be very pleased with these phone when plug into my ipod classic . compare to my to previously own hd595 the soundstage be larger and the music be more detailed . I then add a fiio e11 amp connect by a fiio l9 line out . the improvement be huge . the bass come alive . the low bass be deep and control ; you could actually feel it . the upper bass be mellow . the midrange be sweet and the high be pure . the soundstage expand and the imaging seem exact . on recording with a large dynamic range the sound go from I could hardly hear it to I can hardly stand it . I believe that to really get the best out of the hd 598 you need to add a adequate amp . +168 Headphone NEG 2 I buy these headphone at a airport electronics store about a year ago . since then they have mainly be use for listen to music when I be at my computer . nothing stressful , no drop or kick , just sit and listen . today I put they on and notice that they be not sit right on my head . I look they over and do not notice anything wrong immediately . I put up with it for a bit until it get worse . I inspect they again and the left side have a big crack just above the left folding joint which mean these be pretty much do for . honestly , I be kind of okay with it because the active noise cancel for these headphone get kind of annoy after a while . it be a much louder hiss than other active noise cancel system I have hear -lrb- my wife have a 2005 era bose active noise cancel headset and I have put on other brand in store to compare since I purchase the able planet can -rrb- . if my problem with these break do not deter you , then the annoying noise cancel probably should . it be really not that great . the sound be good , though . so that be something . +717 Headphone POS 5 I be concern that perhaps splitting the line level output from the audio jack on the computer and feed it to the speaker on the desktop and the receiver in the living room would end up mean that I would get insufficient output to drive both , and especially drive the signal through the 50 foot of cable require to get to the receiver . however , this , combine with a heavy duty 50 foot audio cable I buy here on Amazon -lrb- Premium 2 rca male to 3.5 mm stereo male , 50 ft -rrb- do exactly what I want , and everything work as it should . I notice no reduction in the audio from the desktop speaker , and the receiver be get plenty of input as well . very pleased . +875 Headphone POS 4 I buy these for my husband to use at the gym and he love they . they stay in place while he do he cardio and be small enough to fit into he pocket when he want to keep they off . he say the sound be very clear . I want a pair now ! +396 Headphone POS 5 this be the second pair of these I have purchase in the last year . my oldest son love he so much my younger son have to have a pair as well . they be great for college guy live in the dorm who need to both block ambient noise and receive high quality audio . +550 Headphone POS 5 these headphone be a very good value . they block noise very well , and the three earbud size should fit pretty much anyone . the sound be noticeably better than my fifteen-dollar set I have be use and I have find that I be able to pick out lyric or melody in some song that I have not notice before . the behind the head cord might annoy some but I be use to it and I find that it help the headphone from be tear from you ear or catch on thing . the headphone themselves be very small and sleek look . the packaging and shipping be my only complaint , as there be virtually no way to open the dang thing without a heavy duty scissors and a lot of effort . the shipping take a little longer than I would have like but that be not the fault of the headphone ! Sennheiser say that they come with a 2 year guarantee warranty , although I have no idea how this would work since I order they from a third-party . hopefully I will not need to figure this out . overall , a great value and I use they everyday . they be stylish , comfortable and sound great . +893 Headphone POS 4 the most important thing by far for wireless headphone be comfort , and these really excel in the comfort department . I can wear they for hour and not feel like I want to take they off . the comfort seem to be from three factor : 1 . they be relatively light weight , 2 . they have a wide foam pad that rest on you head around the ear , not on the ear , and 3 . they do not clamp down on you head too tight , just tight enough to stay on . the only comfort issue be that they be big and bulky enough that you can not lay the side of you head on a pillow with they on like you can with in-ear headphone . seriously , do not buy uncomfortable wireless headphone no matter how great they seem otherwise . I have very high standard for sound quality as a person who build my own high end speaker , and I can definitely say there be headphone that sound better , include my wire mdr-v6 headphone . the main problem be that the bass be weak . from midrange up to treble the sound be very good , and most people would be very satisfied with it , include myself . but the reception be great ... as long as any part of the headphone have line of sight to the receiver there be no cutout or static anywhere in the living room . of course as soon as you leave the room the ir signal cut out . the surround processing be not very good . just like most DSP mode on receiver , it make for tinny distorted sound . maybe it do steer the sound somewhat but the overall degradation be not worth it . I leave the headphone in music -lrb- non-surround -rrb- mode even for surround source because it give a cleaner sound . I live in a condo , and even though I have higher quality speaker , I find myself usually use these headphone for movie and tv because it be just so cool to be able to listen loud enough that you can hear all the dialog all the time with no concern about annoy the neighbor . listen through the speaker I be always turn the volume down during explosion or crash and turn the volume up during quiet dialog . with these headphone you do not have to do that so you be more immerse . most people seem to think the surround processing on these be pretty much state of the art and yet I think it be useless . so my suggestion would be to not buy headphone for surround processing . just find a pair of comfortable headphone that have decent sound quality and you 'll be set . since these headphone cost so much due to the surround processing , they be probably not a great value . the other minor complaint I have be that there be no way to turn the base station on or off remotely ... it be the only device I have to actually get up and walk over to turn on . after a few year of use , mine be develop a problem where the sound cut off if I leave my dvr on pause for a long time . this use to happen just a few percent of the time but now it be start to happen almost half the time that I do a long pause . the problem seem to be in the base unit ; unplug the toslink and switch the base on and off restore the sound . I be in the market for a new set of wireless headphone . I be consider get another set of these use to replace the base unit , and that way I 'll have two set of headphone so my girlfriend and I can listen together late at night without wake other up . +927 Headphone POS 5 for something that be about half the price of every other set of Bluetooth stereo headphone out there , I be expect something with a terrible build and limited functionality . these be pretty amazing , consider ! they be comfortable enough , they sound be great , the build be actually quite good , they seem pretty durable , and the case be surprisingly nice and well build as well . I use these primarily for listen to music on my phone while run or do yard work , and they have prove to make the whole experience much nicer . answer a call while in use be a breeze , and the microphone be adequate for a clear phone call . the only strange little flaw be they tend to loose connectivity if I have my phone in my left pocket -lrb- on the opposite side of my body from the earphone with the receiver -rrb- , though all be well if it be in my right pocket . highly recommend ! +553 Headphone POS 4 the sound these put out be nearly unimpeachable . I be use they with a Ray Samuels Audio Predator usb dac\/headphone amp , source by a modify HP Tablet PC -lrb- usb -rrb- and a ASUS Transformer Prime -lrb- analog out -rrb- and get good result . the sound be relax , detail natural , although I think the high be a bit roll off . I would not use these straight out of a low power source . I do have a couple of con - first , as some other reviewer have point out the attachment of the can to the headband seem flimsy - it do result in unsurpassed comfort for a headphone this large . the finish on the mahogany earcup be less than superb . the cord be long and heavy and make the phone unsuitable for portable use and less than optimum even in home with a ipod or tablet - they be design for use with a headphone amp , a control amp\/processor or receiver . as the headline for the review note , these be make in China , which be a disappointment when buy a luxury grade product from a japanese manufacturer . give my experience with the limited lifespan of most chinese make electronics , I wonder what they longevity will be . if I have pay full price for these they would be go back . I do have to say kudos to Amazon for a great price and fast prime delivery . +973 Headphone NEG 2 one of the end pop out within the first two week , cause my head be too big . i buy these about 5 year ago and never have a problem with they , so i do not know what be change . : -lrb- maybe my head get bigger . +138 Headphone POS 5 great value for a set of headphone of this quality . clear , crisp , and enough bass for my listen need -lrb- about 1-2 hrs\/day include music and audiobook -rrb- . I would not wear these all day because they fit a bit snug , but perfect for a hour or two at a time . +409 Headphone NEG 2 I think I have get the best deal in ear bud for the first week . it be comfortable , lightweight , love the volume control on the cord , stay in place during exercise . the soft plastic cover on the ear bud fall off the 2nd week . I be able to put it back on . but it proceed to fall off again with every use . too bad they can not fix that problem , it would be great , but until then , would not recommend ! +471 Headphone POS 4 I have buy three pair of these . one I lose ... one I manage to knock off the the screen , and the third be do well . I have be very happy with the fit . . however , on the hardiness factor I have knock off a screen and manage to lose one of the rubber ring around the headphone . I wish they would replace they or have replacement part for they . I really love these headphone because they fit no matter if I have my hair up or down . . and hold snugly if I drop my walkman . . I think they be very good sound especially for around $ 9.00 . I mean what do you expect for that kind of money ? +689 Headphone NEG 1 Techinically sprake the sound quality of this headphone be good , but my headphone do not work after few day normal usage +982 Headphone NEG 2 love ` um ... BUT The BAD : 1 . if you use they with the speaker on at the same time , there be a slight delay in the headset , cause it to seem like a echo . 2 . long term use be not as comfortable as the older style ear-cup on the 120 , 130 model ... ouchie ... achey ear . 3 . must turn transmitter on every time you want to use they . 4 . if you decide to turn they off for a while , you will have to get up out of you comfy chair , and go over to the transmitter unit to turn it back on again ... bummer . 5 . Controls , even after memorize they location and position , be very inconvenient , and awkward to use ... difficult to tell which button be which by feel . 6 . balance ? really ? I have no idea why you would want balance on headphone . it do not bother I that they have it ; I figure it would be something I just would not use ... no biggie . but when you accidentally touch it , feel you way around the control , balance get mess up , and you have to re-balance ... Annoying feature . the good : 1 . sound be crisp and clear ... very clean sound . and the clear speech thingy actually work ; that be cool too . 2 . except for the ear cup be too small and pinch the ear between the cup and you head , the rest of the shape and mold be quite comfortable ; still do not make up for ear pain though . +896 Headphone NEG 2 I buy they for be compact , adjustable , and comfortable . Mine shatter on one side in the joint area that hold the right ear piece . they become unusable . fortunately there be enough leave to where I be able to use a upholstery staple as a dowel , epoxy , and super glue to put it back to a functional state . it take two day . and it do not look the same . unfortunately , I buy these at Fry 's and pay too much for they . I be save for a pair of beyerdynamic dt 770 and these will become my portable\/spare pair . +63 Headphone NEG 2 I really want to love these headphone . I have 2 pair of the j3 , and so I already know the fit and sound be both well above average . I pick up these for the sole reason that it have a microphone so that I would not have to unplug my headphone while I be walk to or from my car to the hospital . however , when I be use the mic to talk with people , they be constantly tell I they can not hear I . even hold the microphone right in front of my mouth the person on the other line still have difficulty understand I . give the quality of JLab 's other product , I really expect more from this . if I could return it , I probably would but as of now it be just a paperweight and a waste of money . I 'll definitely be stick to the j3 , but I would recommend that people look elsewhere for a mic\/headphone combination . I know I will be . +510 Headphone NEG 1 poor quality , do not fit a tall person -lrb- 6 ' 6 '' -rrb- lose sound just move away from transmitter . headset hard to replace on charger . wish I could get my money back on these . these be not a better idea from sony for sure !! I would not give it 1 star except amazon require you to rate it , how about allow half a star ? +615 Headphone POS 5 I be a keyboard player who have play in many record studio over the year and these headphone be the one I usually see . they be reasonably price and re-produce accurate sound rendering that represent the sound you actually hear with no add fluff . I would highly recommend these headphone to anyone who appreciate a good , solid piece of equipment that will last a long time . +996 Headphone POS 5 this product be initially release on 01\/01\/1984 and koss continue to produce the same pair of headphone more than 25 year later . if this be not a testimony in itself to the quality of the product , I do not know what be . I show off these thing to my friend who work in music -lrb- recording\/producing\/mastering -rrb- and be surround by thousand and thousand of dollar in sound equipment , and even they be thoroughly impressed . simply put , this product be a incredible product in itself , let alone for the price it be sell at . +531 Headphone POS 4 I have be buy ear bud for my run for a few year now , and after a few year of have to shove the dang thing back in after every 20-30 step and have to buy new headphone every couple of month , I want to give regular headphone another try . what I like : - I love the volume adjuster on the cord . I listen to song on my ipod at different volume so I be constantly have to adjust the volume ... and hence drain the battery of my very old ipod . I should mention that the cord from the headphone plug in to the volume adjuster , so I be hope that be not one more thing that could break on these headphone . - these headphone seem really sturdy , have not take they on a run yet , but they look pretty well make . - sound quality be fantastic ! to be fair , since I replace headphone practically as often as I change my shirt , I have not be buy the best quality headphone so I might not be the BEST judge , but the music sound pretty crystal clear to I . what I dislike : - ear piece be pretty big and rigid so they kind of hurt in my ear . you do not have to smoosh they in as much as ear bud though , so I think they 'll be alright . I do not know whether they 'll stand up to the bouncing\/tugging\/sweat from run , but I be optimistic . +277 Headphone POS 5 I purchase these headphone to use while work out because I be tire of the ear bud that come with my ipod and other cheap ear bud fall out of my ear . these be amazingly comfortable and be very secure in the ear . as soon as I put they in I be very impressed . it be easy to figure out how they go in the ear and easy to change the provide tip to find the right size . there be also a small clip on the cable so I can clip the cable to my clothes so it do not bounce around during the workout . the sound quality be a amazing upgrade compare to the headphone I have be use but I be compare they to very cheap headphone . this be my first pair of nice headphone ever so I be not able to provide a comparison to other brand . I be concern about they durability , base on some other review , so I will update my review in a few month . +536 Headphone NEG 2 my trusty wire Sony headphone of 15 year finally die after someone roll over the cord with a chair with wheel ... I only use the headphone for practice digital piano at night . during the day i use my jbl lsr4328p Powered Studio Monitors -lrb- 8 Inch , 220 Watts -rrb- after look around for a budget friendly but highly recommend wireless -lrb- know that wire sound better , but for the ease of just be able to walk around tempt I -rrb- , I choose the Sennheiser r 120 wireless headphone . it do have mix review , but most be positive , so I go ahead and order it . it be a simple and solid design with on\/off switch , volume control , and tuning control . when do use it , just put it back on the cradle and you do not have to plug in anything . it fit pretty well , but sudden movement be not recommend , as it will surely fall of the head . after charge it overnight on its cradle , I be excite to use it . well , it be pretty obvious when it be not in the right frequency , so it be easy to find that one small area where it be the `` sweet spot . '' except , even the sweet spot be not so sweet . there be whole lot of static noise and it be very distracting when I be try to think while play . when I be play forte , it be as if the headphone 's try to protect my ear , it muffle the sound and no matter how hard I pound on the key , it feed no more than mezzo piano . it come back to normal volume after a loooong while of play really softly or nothing . it be very strange . I be only keep it around for when I absolutely need wireless headphone and be about to search for a new wire headphone . +752 Headphone POS 5 I have be a Sennheiser fan for year and buy my dad the rs130 but be not really impressed with they sound since they sound like other wireless headphone I have try which be also not good . I buy the rs180 for $ 230 and I be glad I do . they sound great !! I use they in my apartment when I want to listen to my stock show after work but also want to be get stuff do like dish , clothes , that require I to go from room to room . they really free you up to multitask . I also like they because my girlfriend can be talk on the phone beside I and I can just pop on these bad boy and watch my show and sport . oddly enough I be watch a basketball game the other day with they and I could hear more background noise -lrb- like player cursing -rrb- than you can listen to it over speaker . I have a expensive set of Polk Audio speaker and be kinda surprised at some of the extra stuff I be miss . they be very comfortable and the charger stand be also pretty tight . I would definitely buy these again . +246 Headphone POS 5 the headphone have perfect overall sound quality . I really like the deep bass I be get . the headphone block most of the noise outside and actually stay on my ear . in all these aspect , it be better than any pair of in-the-ear headphone I have use in the past . this be much better than I hope . at this price I would say this be a perfect deal . +688 Headphone POS 5 I already own a pair of wire sennheiser and decide the only brand that could possibly do wireless justice be this one . I can happily say that I be not disappointed , and these have go beyond my expectation . I have be talk about buy a set of wireless headphone for year . when we routine at night solidify into I watch x-file on dvd and my partner want to settle down with a book , it become essential . the quality of the sound be outstanding and I really can not tell much difference between a wireless set . one note though : I initially have the base set atop my tv get a lot of interference . I mount it on the wall a couple foot up and now they be crystal clear . I be also amaze at how long the battery charge last . I consistently watch about a hour of tv each night , and I probably have to charge they only once every 2 week . they fit very comfortably also . one thing I be concern about since they be not close be sound escape . this be not a problem . my partner can sleep beside I and not hear a thing . if you be look for a staple pair of wireless headphone , for the quality and price , these be what you be look for . +506 Headphone POS 4 I be first introduce to what we now call the 71EX series by a good friend from Beijing who let I borrow hers : I fall in love and have to get a pair when I make my first trip to Japan . those be Fontopia N.U.D.E. ex70 series - soon to be replace by the 71ex with less clingy cord and more trim head -lrb- same driver\/innards -rrb- . in short - these bud be pretty awesome . since that first pair , I have own two other set -lrb- 3 total -rrb- , due to rain , a washer , and a washer\/dryer run respectively . here be a breakdown : - comfort : the top . Easy to sleep\/nap in - its entirely possible to forget you be wear they . still , inner-ear bud be not for everyone . if you be new to this style , give these a fair chance to get use to em ' before declare they uncomfy ; -rrb- . - isolation : Great . effective enough to avoid use these while driving\/cycling\/attending a lecture . very nice feature when try to take a nap or otherwise tuning out noisy surroundings . - Inexpensive ... certainly a plus as you will not break the bank if you break em ' or decide inner-ear bud be not right for you - sound quality : Fair mid , crisp high , and strong but somewhat muddly low -lrb- i.e. rapid bass drum hit will sound more like `` thummm-thummm '' than `` thmp ! thmp ! '' -rrb- . if I have to rate these on sound quality alone , I would probably give these 3\/5 star , but the above benefit bump it up higher , and be the reason I keep buy the same bud even after accidentally ruin they multiple time . in summary : a highly recommend introduction to the world of inner-ear bud . great way to try the style out without diving head-first with you wallet . for a step up in quality\/price , search amazon\/google for cx300 -lrb- ~ $ 30 -rrb- , ex85\/ex90 -lrb- ~ $ 60 -rrb- , V-Moda Vibe -lrb- ~ $ 75 -rrb- . also recommend study up at the ilounge headphone forum - invaluable resource for nonfanboy observation regard these and many other model . +398 Headphone POS 5 these headphone be simply great . the sound be amazing , while they do not have as much bass as the Beats by Dre , they be still great . sound be clear and the comfort be great . from the very first moment I try they on , I say : WOW this feel great . also , even though they be not noise cancel headphone , they do keep out the noise very well . I use they at work , and now people have to im I or come touch my shoulder to talk to I hahaha . 100 % recommend if what you like be great music quality . if you rather feel you ear tremble with high bass than listen to a clear music , then you should probably go for a Beats , otherwise , these be great . PS : the fact that they have less bass than the beat , do NOT mean the Bass on these be bad , not at all , be just not as strong as it be on the beat by dre . +161 Headphone POS 4 ive have the hd 280 pro for what seem to be 4 year , they still sound great , no loose rattle typical in old use speaker component . however the plastic and leather material be start to peel and deteriorate similar to a old car center console , other then that they work well . I write this because I be scared they will melt into goop and ruin my hair cut tho . I would buy again just keep in mind you wont be able to write they in you will or anything like that . +947 Headphone POS 4 overall a amazing deal . for the cost the sound quality be absolutely amazing , crisp , clear , but lack the bass you would get with more expensive and larger con headphone . the only downfall to these be the design and comfort , which at they worse be not really that bad . the headband catch on you hair all the time and be not convenient to take on and off because the adjustability be not very convenient . the other adjustability problem be the `` comfort zone '' adjuster to make the earphone tighter or looser on you head , very inconvenient . but overall you can not beat the quality for the price . if you want the best headphone for under $ 50 , you find they with these , although they have a few imperfection , the value to quality ratio be unbeatable . great value ! +413 Headphone POS 4 I just wish they be a little less bulky but other than that I be very satisfied with the headphone . +457 Headphone POS 5 I be not a audiofile , but for the price , these headphone be great ! I do not have the problem about ring in my ear that I do with the one that go in my ear . I be mostly use they for spanish instruction . I wish the cord be beefier , though . sound be good . +963 Headphone POS 4 Great for run and cycling - the earphone do not budge no matter how much move you do . basic exercise like run and cycling do nothing to shake they . there be a part that go over the ear like a web that be make of soft rubber material which be a key feature for its comfort and prolonged wearability . these be not exactly audiophile earphone , but you get use to they . if you mp3 player have a user adjustable eq then all the better . I have hear better earphone , but these be pretty good . clearly some compromise have be make , but they seem to have come out on the good side of acceptable . they do not rest flatly in the cavum concha , brace by the tragus and antitragus , as with standard fontopoid style phone , but be instead hold in place by the plastic band at a inwardly direct angle . this be a step in the right direction in term of comfort and stayputiveness . it seem that because they sit halfway outside the cavum concha , the phone be make larger for greater efficiency and output to make up for the slightly increase distance from the ear canal . I think they be a little bit too big , but again it take get use to the position as well as the audio range . the yellow wire be a nice aesthetic touch , but the black jacket on both the 1\/8 '' plug feel like they might pull right up the wire when remove they from the player or the volume control . have to be careful with they ... overall they be a very clever design which have in my opinion completely solve the problem of earphone migration . never again will I reach up during a blissful run to shove that fontopoid back into my ear , and I be look forward this summer to take it fully for grant . if the next generation of these headphone have slightly smaller earbud with more exotic sound quality , I 'll promptly wear they . +80 Headphone POS 5 this headphone be very very good for this price , ofcourse i you pay something 150 $ would be much better but u need to know for what u gonna use it , im use this SONY xd100 for my laptop and listen music , watch dvd ... its awesome ... clear stereo sound . . u can see that in movie , like u have surround system around u ! but ofcourse they be not profesional , for I they ae awesome . . and they be huge i love they ; -rrb- buy it ! +247 Headphone POS 5 buy these about 3 week now , and this will be my first review due to the outstanding product I receive , I never expect so much . I have the Senheissers eh150 before , they be great but uncomfortable and I could not get enough of they , I breath music for leave and I just want more , you know what I mean . so I start to read about headphone and search everywhere review so I could figure out which Headphones I want . after a lot of reading I find that these be really cheap here a amazon , I mean really cheap . this be the best choice after all , do not let the price of these distract you , they be absolutely awesome . now I be have a lot of trouble organize my time because I just want to hear every single song on my iTunes with these , you just hear a whole different thing , every song sound like you be listen to it for the very first time , you discover thing you do not notice before , its just surreal . . for real . buy this , you 'll never regret !! oh and i forget to mention they be very comfortable im impressed , i usually have problem with headphone , i cant use they for a long time cause they 'll bother I , this be not the case , i can wear they for day ! p . for real . . buy THESE ! 2nd p . if you happen to like Radiohead , please buy these and listen to in rainbow with they , you 'll listen it as a whole new thing . +326 Headphone POS 4 these headphone have work great . my husband love they because he can hear the show better and I love they because the tv be not roar and hurt my ear anymore . they charge easily and have great range . Terrific product . +338 Headphone POS 5 I first buy a pair of the Koss Titanium Portable Headphones back around 6-7 year ago . that same pair have last I all this time until a week or two ago when they finally give up , I quickly order another pair and be hope for the same result 's . I also have other 's in my family that use they aswell , they really come in handy when I be work at a computer and need to be able to hear outside of the headphone . other than that , I like the volume control , how they feel , they lightweight design , the clarity of the sound , they have a nice bass sound to they , and more . but the best part of they be the price ! with shipping , they $ 20 , it be insane ! if there be anything bad about they , it would be that after 7 year they croak , but consider the price , and all that you get out of they , it be worth it . EDIT : I recieve my new Koss Port . headphone in and they fit and sound perfect , the only complaint I have about the new one be that they do not have a l-plug , but for the price , I 'll get over it . pro : Long Life Price Sound quality volume control how they feel how they look con : no l-plug if you need cheap headphone for listen to a mp3 Player or use on a computer , I would highly recommend the Koss Titanium Portable Headphones . +43 Headphone POS 4 I recently pick up the Aiwa cn5 headset from radio shack -lrb- ~ $ $ $ -rrb- and be pleasantly surprise at how a low-cost nc headset could perform . I also use higher-end one when fly my plane , but they be WAY too bulky for portable electronics -lrb- cd\/dvd -rrb- on commercial flight . anyway , Aiwa headset sound fine , but have no padding on the plastic band which scrape my hairless head top ! bring along a feel pad or something or it will get annoying very quickly ! all-in-all , I would recommend pick up a set . +728 Headphone POS 4 great product , easy to set up and get go . have not take the headphone for a full `` spin '' yet , but use they so far to watch tv without keep the family awake have be just great . the sound be amazing . I would recommend these to other 100 % . aa +556 Headphone POS 5 i just get these in not too long ago and out of over 100 item i have order off ebay these be the first i have be compel to review . . i be you average 20yo guy . . these be great bud for most every kind of music i throw at em . personally i use em for metal most time and they stand up fine . . beat my stock zune headphone and the other 4-5 cheaper phone i have buy . . anyway . . buy these and you 'll want to spread you newfound happiness around amazon , too +4 Headphone NEG 2 these earbud be very comfortable and the choice of 3 different size be great . unfortunately when hook to the ipod the sound be dreadful -- very `` tinny '' . the earbud that come from Apple , although uncomfortable , be much better sound . it be like compare a regular radio to a Bose Wave Radio -- there be no comparison . +921 Headphone NEG 2 I be really divide with these headphone . it be vex . on the one hand , the sound quality be phenomenal and probably sound the best out of any headphone that I own . Problem be , I can not stand have they on for more than about 15 minute , because they be so uncomfortable . now to be fair , it be rare that any headphone really fit I well . I can not stand earbud , and my face be shape in a way that I have have trouble get most headphone to fit comfortably , especially for long period of use . I have have moderate success with some of the ear clip type though , and the occasional pair of headband or neckband type will fit I well , but usually there will be some minor awkwardness that I have to work around . however , these do not fit well at all . there be far too much pressure on my ear no matter what I try , and to be honest these be likely the most uncomfortable pair of headphone I own . you would think with this level of quality in the sound department , they would have take a bit better into consideration the comfort factor . they be essentially worthless for I since I can not wear they for even short duration without pain from the pressure of they squash against my ears\/temples\/etc . it be too bad really , because they do sound great . I guess it be back to ear clip style headphone for I . if you be like I and tend to have a hard time find headphone that will fit you well , you may want to reconsider before waste you money pick these one up . +444 Headphone NEU 3 I have be happy enough with these headphone ; particularly when use on flight . they do reduce the hum of the aircraft engine , but replace it with a little hiss . the hiss be only noticable in silence . with a music\/other signal into the headphone I rarely notice the hiss . I use these on the subway , and they also reduce the train noise -lrb- but not the smell of the homeless guy next to I -rrb- . BIG ISSUE : the rubber ear-piece that form the seal around the headphone and you ear-hole ! these come off relatively easily . in the package you get 3 pair -lrb- a small , a medium , and a large pair -rrb- . I be not down to one individual small and one individual large - not comfortable -lrb- the small one keep fall out and the big one feel like a big wet finger be push in my ear -rrb- . so , if you want replacement rubber ear-piece , you ring Sony Parts . Sony part then explain the each rubber ear piece cost $ 4.95 plus tax -lrb- plus postage -rrb- . that be not even for a pair , that be for one . these thing be under 1cm large , and be a tiny , flimsy piece of rubber . bad boy Sony - rip off exist customer . oh , and if you want to shop around to source they elsewhere , ask Sony for the part number , and they 'll only tell you the part number if you pay they $ 5 for a research fee . -lrb- no joke ! -rrb- shame on you Sony ! nice product , a bit flimsy , poor rubber ear-piece design , profiteer on part cost . make you own decision . maybe stretch to a pair of Shure in-ear thing instead . Sony quality tend to be good , but they go non-standard with everything and you pay a premium at every point of ownership of they product . +981 Headphone POS 5 my husband have be use these at work , five day per week , for just under two year now . he love they . they work well and do not hurt you head or ear after wear they for a while . +354 Headphone NEG 1 do not buy these headphone unless you want to keep return they every 2 month . the first pair I buy work great for two month . then they would not turn on after be charge . press the reset button as recommend by support do not work to revive they . I look in Logitech 's support forum and find other people with the same problem . Logitech take the headphone back and send I another `` new '' pair . it be two month later and guess what ? the new one have stop turn on after a charge . I really love the convenience of these headphone . the sound quality be great and not have the cord get in the way during workout or yardwork be so nice . but you really do not buy they , you just rent they for $ 100 plus the every-2-month cost of mail they back and the cost of replacement while you wait for Logitech to ship you a work pair . I want my money back . +899 Headphone NEG 2 I think that these earphone would just sit outside you ear so that you can hear what be happen around you as well as you music . that be not true with this particular earphone , the speaker be perpendicular to the hook which go around you ear , so the small part must be put in you ear canal to be comfortable . these earphone be great sound , but beyond that I can not wear they for more than a half a hour at a time . the piece that must sit within you ear canal to get good sound be very large , and if you have small ear like I do it will stretch and pull you ear . I do like that you do not have to turn the volume up much to hear what you be listen to well . you can also turn the volume up very high and use they as speaker on you desk , but that do sort of defeat the purpose of earphone . good for some people , but terrible for I . +490 Headphone POS 5 I usually go through headphone like kleenex , so the Sennheiser eh-150 evolution be a very pleasant surprise for I . these headphone be a miracle : lighter than any pair I have have , and the sound quality be amazing . I have read other reviewer ' complaint about the close fit of these headphone around the ear , but it do not hurt I or interfere with my listen enjoyment . very effective for shut out distract noise . +179 Headphone NEG 2 I read and hear the hype of noise-cancelling headphone and how they will make my life much better . so , i go out and bought\/researched most of the top selling headphone . the Aiwa model -lrb- hp-cn5 -rrb- be the most value price . but , it have a buzz when you turn on the noise-cancellation , and i certainly think that most of the noise-cancellation be be achieve by increase the volume than anything else . also , the battery slot be awkwardly place above the left earpiece , and it thus constantly budge against my head . the Sony mdr-nc11 's be quite uncomfortable , and cost nearly 3 time as much as the Aiwa model . the manual say that the noise-cancellation will work only if the earbud be fitting `` snugly , '' and from my experience it seem that the snugly fit of the earbud be what cancel more noise than the noise cancellation technology . I must say , however , that these be the most stylish , sleek and portable headphone of the lot . sadly , they noise cancellation be nominal , and not worth it for the pain of `` snugly '' fitting earbud for extended period of time . the third model i try be the Sony mdr-nc20 , which be the most expensive of the lot . it be definitely more comfortable than the previous model , and also have passive noise cancellation due to the closed loop cushion design around the ear . however , it will get uncomfortable when wear for long duration due to the small earcup design . in Summary , all three of these headphone cancel noise by add a `` buzz '' sound when noise-cancellation be turn on , and by increase the volume of the music if plug to a CD player . I would suggest use you money on a better cd player , and get comfortable headphone without the noise cancellation feature . let I suggest Koss UR-20 or Koss UR-30 for beautiful sound quality and comfort , and the Koss the-plug or Sony Fontopia for ear bud type model . all cost less than 50 buck ! enjoy , and i 'll head to the store to make all the return ! : -lrb- +795 Headphone POS 5 sound be incredible . fit be great . I use they for jogging with my EVO android phone mp3 player . no problem with they fall out . best quality music I have hear in decade . extremely happy with these bud . pure quality , awesome sound quality . +961 Headphone POS 4 nice headphone , comfortable and good sound ... the cable doesnt get tangled and I love that ; another good thing be that it be flexible and will not get break easily , that be one of the reason i pick this up , because I use to damage everything , but this have work perfectly ... it be just that if you be look for sound isolate headphone these wont help you , they be not intend for that ... +839 Headphone POS 5 the headset be buy for my slightly deaf father . he live in a nursing home and have a roommate . I choose the rs-140 because it have the `` closed can '' to shut out the -lrb- also hear impaired -rrb- roommate 's tv etc while allow my father to hear he tv . the setup work great . the separate volume for each earphone allow perfect balance to compensate for differential hearing ability in each ear . if you want to be able to hear the room as well as the music go with the rs-130 to get the `` open can '' . I use the headset during the setup and find no fault with the sound quality or reproduction and there do not appear to be any interferance from other electronic device . he sometimes wear the headset `` down the hall '' and the quality do not begin to degrade -lrb- through concrete block wall in a steel frame building full of medical equipment -rrb- for about 80 foot -- in open air I be sure it would be double that . the headset be comfortable and the charge arrangement be transparent to the user . my father find the charge stand `` a little tippy '' because he have to reach the headset with a grabber from a wheelchair across a bed . mount the charge base fix that . a person use they hand would not have this problem at all . +663 Headphone POS 4 yes ... they probably would snap if you be not careful . but these headphone be not cheap or flimsy . they simply require care . i can only imagine the last fellow to review the headphone try put they on over he head whereas the are of the new variety that rest behind you neck ... that be the most likely scenario to I that lead to they break . sound be good . comfort be passable for 2-3 hour . the software add-on be a excellent way to just get music instead of all window default sound . all in all the headphone be a very nice , modern solution in a world of lcd 's and wireless keyboard and mouse which all contribute to the clutter free desktop nicely . if you be wonder whether or not to but these headphone , trust a guy for once and go ahead and buy these if you be on the fence about it . +675 Headphone POS 4 like all Sennheiser headphone , the px100 be very comfortable . the pad press snugly against the ear and 2 small cushion rest on top of one 's head -lrb- in contrast to the loose-fitting Grado headphone , `` sr '' series -rrb- . the px100 's construction be a work of art , sennheiser obviously want they product to look beautiful . and they look better `` in person '' than they do online . for the price , they sound quite well . although the midrange frequency be a bit recessed , the bass be strong & well define and high frequency be very detail without sound aggressive or harsh . for example , on `` something I learn today , '' by Husker Du -lrb- Zen Arcade -rrb- , I can easily hear the last guitar note in the song quietly reverb -lrb- echo -rrb- 5 time as the song end . but when play thru the Sony mdr-7506 headphone -lrb- $ 100 -rrb- , I only hear a single guitar note , no reverb . and with a tiny , new battery-operated headphone amplifier I get on eBay for $ 65 , the pace & rhythm of music thru the px100 greatly improve and the midrange fill out a bit . -lrb- although the sensitivity of the px100 be quite high at 114db , the impedance be a low 32 ohm which may strain the power supplies of portable music source , affect sound quality . this be where a headphone amp that boost CURRENT can greatly help . but if you own headphone with high impedance , like the 300-ohm sennheiser hd-600 , you may need a headphone amp that boost VOLTAGE or the phone may play too quiet - even at full volume . for best result , the input impedance of headphone should be 10 time the output impedance of the music source . for example , if the owner 's manual of you portable music source list the output impedance as 15 ohm , you 'll get best result use headphone with a input impedance of 150 ohm . most people will never buy a head amp . but if you be a nerd like I and want perfection to you sound , you 'll need one if you phone ' impedance be not approximately 10x the output impedance of the music source . -rrb- on the downside , the px100 be very delicate and can easily break if handle roughly . the cover over the 2 cushion that rest on the head seem quite thin and may wear out sooner rather than later . and the cord be very thin , especially where it enter each phone . a firm tug on the wire could dislodge it from the phone . also , the hard plastic carry case have a spool to wrap the cord around when place inside . but over time , this flexing\/tugging of the cord by wrap on & off from spool will fatigue the thin wire , probably cause it to eventually break ; the cord may appear fine but you 'll have one of the phone go dead since the wire inside the plastic covering have break . -lrb- btw , most Sennheiser `` hd '' series headphone with the detachable cord will , within 1-2 year , have one or both of the phone cut out . replace the cord will not help as the problem be internal where the 2 plug make a electrical connection into each phone . I have a great-sounding $ 200 pair of hd-565 ovation headphone with this problem that could not be repair . throw they in the trash . what a waste ! avoid sennheiser with the detachable cord . -rrb- so ... 4 star for overall sound : 5 star for high frequency , 3 star for recessed midrange , and 4 star for bass which have a slight emphasis due to the recessed midrange . use the head amp easily bring the sound up to 5 star . however , the construction of the px100 be frail and the very thin cord will break unless you be super careful . but I be happy with the px100 . so far . -lrb- if you buy portable Sennheiser headphone be sure to buy from a authorized dealer since many be counterfeit fake , especially the sennheiser cx-300 earbud . Google for more info on this . -rrb- +167 Headphone POS 5 I have trouble keep ear bud to stay in . this be the first pair that actually stay put without hurt my ear canal . the sound quality be almost equal to any of the higher end head phone while the cost of these be so much less . include with this set be multiple size and style of silicon inset to let you choose what work best for yourself . I do not find they hard to put on and off and they lay quite flat against you ear while in . they be a good pair for wear while lie down . very happy with this set and will be buy a second pair to give to my spouse . +308 Headphone POS 4 I be attract by these earphone for a couple reason . First of all I break my Sony earbud , I lose my apple earphone , and I do not like carry around my bose on-ear headphone . pro - fit comfortably sound decent -lrb- equal to any apple earphone , or my previous Sony in-ear -rrb- do its job con - have slight hissing noise , but I have always have a good sense of hearing , so might just be I have a bump on the outer ear part 3.5 mm jack from earbud be slightly large , well approx . 1.5 inch all in all . it be a decent product . I would not recommend this to anyone because I prefer actual headphone oppose to earphone , but if you be on the go , it be a decent product . experience : 1.5 week +465 Headphone POS 5 I have be go through several pair of open , on-ear full-size headphone but I need to get earbud that block noise and do not leak like crazy -lrb- like my open one do -rrb- anyways , I be a bit skeptical when I order these -lrb- after read comparison on head-fi forum -rrb- but I have be nothing short of impressed . here be one tip - if you get in-ear earbud make sure they come with different size earpiece . these headphone do . this be extremely important !!! if they do not , plan to buy some separately . everyone 's ear be different in size so make sure the earpiece fit right . sound = 4\/5 Bass = 4\/5 Noise cancelling = superb for this price point -lrb- mine be sixteen -rrb- you can not find something that be this sturdy and with this sound quality . they be awesome ! earbud MAY induce massive WAX ATTACKS : also , if you not use to wear in-ear earbud - be aware - because the earbud be a `` foreign object , '' you ear canal might -lrb- like mine do -rrb- produce ear wax to combat it . yuk ! I clean my ear before and after i use these guy . bottom line : get these headphone - they be affordable sturdy sound great ample bass isolate well come with different size earpiece well design - leave be shorter than the right , which wrap around behind you head also - you can lie down with they in you ear because they do not stick out like other do +272 Headphone POS 5 I buy these to replace a older model from sennheiser which finally fail at the plug connection . I be a runner and triathlete so my headphone go through hell . the two cable length be great . I use the short length when I just have my ipod on a arm band . the longer cable be great for colder weather and the ipod be in a pocket . the headphone stay in place no matter what which be the main reason I buy this style . they sound good too and sound better if you ipod or mp3 have tone control . the older one fail because I hardly ever unplug they from my ipod and sweat have migrate from the arm band to the jack and the salt cake the plug tight . twist it to get it out break the molded plug cover loose and the connection fail after a time . I now unplug and clean after use . lesson learn the hard way . +121 Headphone NEG 2 I purchase the Koss pro-100 on a whim because the Sennheiser that I want be out of stock . I usually do my homework but I trust the review . I be thoroughly disappoint with the lack there of bass response . I be glad I buy these in store because pay return shipping would have anger I immensely . the mid ring and high be average at best . at 79 dollar they be extremely over price for the sound quality that it produce . +181 Headphone POS 5 I search out these earphone for purchase , after my dog chew on my last pair of sony becuase they give I a good sound quality and a great fit . I have a hard time find in-the-ear earphone that fit I comfortably . with some other pair they would get a cramped feeling after some time . with the different size cushion that be provide with the sony earphone , I could get a great fit . they block out background noise well and have a a nice range of sound . they also come with a nice little travel case which be good for have they with you and not get the cord all tangle on itself . I would recommend these for people that would like a good earphone for a really reasonable price . +533 Headphone POS 5 my brother in law get I a set of these and I think they be one of the best accessory I have ever use . sound quality be outstanding , I hear no static even 2 floor down when I be do laundry , and the extra battery charge in the base so you can quickly swap out if you run out of juice . comfortable as heck . I do not know why the other person say they be not tight enough , unless he have a really small head . I think the tension be perfect , but I be a 6 ' 2 '' american guy so you mileage may vary . +631 Headphone POS 5 these be really awesome headphone . my ear be too little for the ear bud headphone so I need something inexpensive , lightweight , and with booming bass - these headphone fit the bill to a `` t '' . I love they . +145 Headphone POS 4 I stop listen to the music while I be work out , because all the headset I try just would not be comfortable enough be constantly would fall out . this however be a great find , I would not mind to pay more to get better sound quality more depth for the music , but I have to say my other 2 pair of headset cost almost 10 time more so I guess I can not really complain . +280 Headphone POS 5 I have have these for about a year , use they 6 + hour a day while I work and they just now break . the cord on the plug end finally come loose , but it be after many good yank from drop my ipod . if you look for a durable pair of headphone , these be the one . I have go through other headphone in a matter of month before the cord start to crackle and give out . these headphone have a bungie cord wrap around the actual cord so it do not get tug as easy . order my second pair to last another year ! +696 Headphone NEG 2 I be not a audiophile . I enjoy listen to music and appreciate good sound . I can tell what I like better , but can not communicate what make one sound better than another . I compare these headphone to Logitech G930 Wireless gaming , Sony MDR-V6 , Pioneer SE-A1000 , and Sony mdr-ex33lp -lrb- earbud -rrb- . I own all of these headphone and thoroughly test they against one another . my test be with music on the pc , music on a mp3 player -lrb- ipod touch -rrb- , and portable gaming device -lrb- d & psp -rrb- . the good the packaging be outstanding . the design be sleek . these be the most comfortable over-the-ear headphone I have . they be extremely light and could be use for long gaming or movie session without notice they be on . they cover my ear perfectly and block outside noise very well . the `` stretch '' technology be effective and I have little doubt about the durability of these headphone . the bad the sound be well below average . for music on the pc and mp3 player , the bass be out of whack . it be not strong overpowering bass . it be not clear bass . it give a muffle bass effect and it definitely affect the music in a negative way . my 9 year old Sony mdr-v6 's . be far superior . in fact , of all the headphone -lrb- include the earbud -rrb- , I would choose these last to listen to music . the muffle sound do not bother I as much with portable gaming device . the color choice bother I a bit . the accent color be a pink-ish maroon color . I do not have a problem with that , but it do look a bit on the feminine side . the designer make a strange choice for the cord length . the cord be about 2 inch long from left earphone . so , I have to have a extension cord to make it usable . it do come with a 4 foot extension cord , but I would prefer the 2 inch cord to simply be the 4 foot cord . the cord be nice otherwise and be tangle-free . I would not recommend these . in this price range you can find a far superior pair of headphone . of the headphone I own , I would rank they in the follow order . Sony MDR-V6 Logitech G930 Wireless gaming -lrb- can only be use on the pc , so it do not help for mp3 , my receiver , or portable gaming ... otherwise this would be at the top -rrb- Sony MDR-EX33LP Pioneer SE-A1000 THESE Philips O'Neill sho9560\/28 +250 Headphone POS 5 sennheiser rs120 mhz rf headphone w\/charging cradle . buy this for my husband for Christmas . it be a first Class headphone set . he love it and we have not have any problem with this product . thank you . +455 Headphone NEG 2 the lack of detail be annoy with these headphone . . a example would be while listen to a acoustic jazz album it be almost impossible to differentiate the cymbal from the rest of the instrument . . +423 Headphone POS 5 I have own the Bose Quietcomfort 15 and currently own the monster beat Studio , and these sound very similar to the Beats ONLY if you fiddle around with the eq . since I own a Sony walkman , it have a customize eq which be very great . I adjust to sound almost as the Beats , but the only thing that the Beats overcome with these kicker headphone be its stronger bass . not say the kicker have no bass , it have alot for $ 45 compare to $ 300 . overall , I recommend these , light on you head , comfortable , and sound be clear . +442 Headphone POS 5 what more could you want from a online transaction ? the earbud themselves be much better than the price reflect , and arrive well ahead of the deadline , in plenty of time for Christmas . +356 Headphone NEU 3 these bud be very comfortable to wear . the soft rubbery plastic have a nice spring to it and hug the ear quite comfortably . I be disappoint with the sound response though . the audio reproduction be extremely tinny . I have to set my ipod 's eq to `` Trebble Reducer '' just to not get a headache . even then its still extremely tinny . overall , great for the price , you can not expect a pair of bose headphone . +194 Headphone POS 4 these earbud have be in my save shopping cart for a while , and previous to have finally purchase they I purchase the highly acclaimed Klipsch s-4 's which have not disappoint with they excellent fit and sound . they be truly exceptional . well , when the price of the Boqari 's drop below $ 25.00 I have to bite , so-to-speak . I think , even if the negative review be support -lrb- and some of they be scathing -rrb- then the Boqari 's would be relegate to occasional use , like listen to a dialogue-filled movie or youtube video . all they would need to do be have decent mid-range capability and feel comfortable . well , when they arrive in a very nice box , zippered leather case and replaceable bud to fit a child up to a elephant I think , wow , now that be a nice presentation at least . but it be the sound that be most surprising , even without the recommend burn-in period . it be solidly coherent from top to bottom , and the midrange be clear . if I could envision a frequency response curve it would be even and not ragged , with no discernable peak over-emphasise one or another part of the sound spectrum , and as I say , this be my immediate impression after have use the klipsch s-4 's few month . though I still prefer the Klipsch 's -- which have only get better with use -- I be also mightily impressed with these Boqari 's , especially at the price I pay . I must admit , however , there be not enough feature which would warrant the msrp of $ 299.00 ; that be , unless it be sell at a exclusive Beverly Hills or NYC Boutique , but even those who can afford to pay that much for earbud would enjoy the sound they produce . at 1\/3 the msrp or lower , these be a great deal , and at 1\/6th they be almost a no-brainer . +825 Headphone POS 5 just get these today , but I shop around for some time , I have the Studio beat for a couple of week , and decide they be not worth the price . . these go well , for the average audiophile . . if you be look for some durable , good look , and good perform headphone , that be comfortable . . there be no better choice ... I really hope v-moda continue make product of this caliber , as I be very impressed with the pair I have ... and they be not overprice . . if you have a need for headphone and have a extra 100-200 buck to spend . . get THESE , you wont be DISAPPOINTED . +169 Headphone NEU 3 why do this product have a analog tuning wheel ? Digital PLL tuning have be around for decade now , and the base unit only have three frequency . it would have be so much better to just have a three position switch on the headphone as well . and whose idea be it to have that tuning wheel right next to the volume control ? I guess I 'll eventually remember which be which , unless I return the unit and try again . +451 Headphone POS 4 ok , let get a few thing out of the way : 1 . yes these be bose - no they be not noise cancel 2 . not only be they not noise canceling , they be not high end bose headphone . 3 . even though they be not high end bose headphone ... they carry a premium price . if you be still with I , then those three thing must not matter to you . I should say that I prefer in ear headphone . I have a expensive set of earphone that I use when I fly -lrb- or when daddy need some quiet time and the kid be anything but quiet -rrb- . what I love about they be first the foam in-ear style provide a fair amount of isolation , and not only do they block outside sound , but create a sound presence for all these element of the music that I never know be there come to life . so I have high expectation for these headphone ... I mean , be not that why people buy Bose ? I 'll admit that the sound be pretty good . the sound be fairly balanced and accent the vocal really well , although I do not think that all the nuance of the sound be there . I do not get a deep bass that I be use to . but more then anything else , the over the ear style give I listen fatigue . I feel like it be get heavier the longer I be use it . I know many many people prefer the over the head style , but they just be not for I . so after all that why the 4 star ? I seriously debate a 3 -lrb- take off a star for the over the head and a star for lower sound quality -rrb- . but then I start think that first I should not take off a star for my personal preference -lrb- or idiosyncrasy -rrb- . second , it be not fair to take off a star for the what I perceive as lower sound quality . the truth be , I pay more for my in-ear headphone so it be not right to judge these to that same quality since they be at different price point . so in the end , I split the difference . I will say though , if you plan to use these with a iPhone , iPod or iPad - you should get the oe2us instead . it be the exact same headphone but have the build int volume , ipod control and mic to use with you phone . in the end - what the heck do I know , maybe these will sound great to you and you will love they . my final recommendation be if you can try somewhere before you buy that may be the best idea . see if you like before flash you fund . and remember for the most part , bose sell at a price fix so do not expect to find a deal on these . +97 Headphone NEU 3 the unit sound fine , and that be why I rate it `` ok '' , but the ear cup be not particularly comfortable , and the foam pad be barely attach and come loose quite easily . I have higher hope for a unit in this price range con : if you want a fit and finish that be quality , leather , well padded , comfortable unit , this be not it . pro : if you want a sound that be clear , easy to use , and decent on the batter life , this be a unit to consider . +790 Headphone POS 5 sound quality be quite good consider the item 's low price , bass come through great and the headphone only fault be show when music be at a very high frequency for a long period of time . the cord actually do prevent tangle , be a decent length , do not hinder music when rub against clothing , and look good . the purchase also include a great compact carry case which hold several size of ear bud -lrb- 5 pair in total -rrb- . once the proper seal around you ear have be make these headphone will sound great and provide a amazing value for all sort of buyer highly recommend . +793 Headphone POS 4 Sony SRFH4 Analog Tuning AM \/ FM Headphone Radio I have be try to use it at my gym where they have direct tv monitor connect with FM radio signal for the individual television channel . I be listen and watch tv while use the treadmill . my radio signal be only moderately successful . after I lose my Walkman , I be research what to get for a substitute . I be look for wireless because my headphone cord be always get in the way . I do not find a wireless solution acceptable -lrb- cost , etc. -rrb- when I look for a handsfree fm radio . I look at the review for this Sony and another Sony srf-h11 s2 Sports AM \/ FM Radio Walkman with Rear Reflector Headphones I decide on this model rather than behind the head design because of the other review relate to comfort . I also think the geeky-looking antenna might provide better radio reception . I find this radio reception much better than my old Walkman , but of course I do not know whether it be the geeky-looking antenna or not . the radio be quite comfortable and I be glad that I do not try the behind the ear style because I wear glass and sunglass with the radio . thanks for the earlier review ! +114 Headphone POS 5 I get these as a father 's day gift and be blow away by they . not only do they block outside sound even at low level better than some noice cancel headphone I have try -lrb- at 3 time the price -rrb- the sound quality be really amazing . use lossless audio -lrb- flac -rrb- I can hear every nuance of music I have never hear before . it be like listen to music I have be listen to for year for the first time . highly recommend . +907 Headphone POS 5 I can crank these and my sound card up all the way and still not hear any noise , which be amazing . the bass response be pretty good , but it seem to overdo it sometimes . towards the end of long session wear they , they get uncomfortable , but the first few hour be fine . there be basically no noise isolation , which be good for some people , bad for other . I have have more comfortable headphone , that be more adjustable , sound better , and have noise isolation . they cost several time as much , though . the movie\/music switch on mine do not seem to do anything . +614 Headphone POS 5 for the price that you can get these headphone here on Amazon , they simply can not be beat by any competitor . they have excellent sound quality right out of the box that you would expect to get from a more expensive pair of headphone . the high be extremely clear on these phone and there be ample bass that punch through in almost any song . they do leak quite a bit of noise so they be not for those in which privacy be a concern . they get loud as well and barely distort at all . they rest on the ear nicely and be very lightweight . pro : excellent price , great sound quality , comfort , style . con : noise leakage -lrb- not a problem for those not concerned though -rrb- overall : if you be look for a quality pair of behind-the-neck headphone , the Sennheiser pmx60 's be a awesome pair that you can get for a a great price . +382 Headphone NEG 2 I travel a lot and find the Noise cancelling quality acceptable consider that you be not cover you entire ear . I would agree with those reviewer that the ear plug can get uncomfortable . my biggest complaint be with the product quality . one set last 11 month and the replacement set last 93 day -lrb- 3 day past the warranty -rrb- . in both case one of the earplug quit work . Sony quote I $ 85 dollar to fix !!! look for a replacement ... +579 Headphone POS 4 these earbud be probably one of the best I have ever use . they sound great , and isolate sound well . the only problem I have be they break . I keep my mp3 in my pocket all day and the ear end of the bud come off . this can be pop on easily , but eventually the wire break off and be render useless . so , these be great if you plan on treat they carefully . +392 Headphone POS 5 simple , inexpensive , great sound quality , strongly recommend . I use it with a usb to analog converter on my PS3 , way better than bluetooth . +152 Headphone POS 5 i wash they twice by accident they still work . you wont be disappoint . love they so much the only downfall to they be that they sound just too loud sometimes but they be the best headphone i ever own +81 Headphone POS 5 these be simply a great pair of headphone ! all around the sound quality be nothing like I have ever hear on a pair of earphone . I have never buy more then a $ 20 pair of earphone but have some extra cash , love the design of these and decide to buy they . the cord do not tangle , it be amazing ! my cord always get tangle din my bag but no longer ! the design be great , i have see a few people do a double take to see what be in my ear . when you open they you might need to put in the correct size for you ear -lrb- it come with three size -rrb- so do not fret if they do not fit you ear right away . and the sound ... amazing ! it dround out all othe rnoise and you truly hear the base . I have a friend put they on and then scream at he , he do not hear a thing ! +874 Headphone POS 5 when I first get these headphone and compare they to the one include with my Walkman back in 1997 , I be amaze at the sound improvement , especially the strong bass these produce . I do not know much about headphone at the time , but I take a chance on this brand I would never hear of . year later it be nice to know they be still consider among the best budget headphone you can buy . and to be fair , I 'll mention other option . why the PortaPros be great : - they sound much better than the cheap default throw-in , especially if you like bass . I actually buy a larger pair of Koss headphone after this , but find out the PortaPros sound better . - they be the most comfortable headphone I have ever worn . they be very lightweight and the pivot earpad design accommodate ear that stick out . if not for the music you might forget they be on you head . - they be conveniently portable . they fold into a little ball that be easily store in a bag or backpack . I find this very convenient for walk between college class . - the price be a steal . headphone get ridiculously expensive for those with remarkable hearing and wallet , but this be one of those model that will satisfy most people for well under $ 100 . - the no-questions-asked Lifetime Warranty . after year of use , my foam pad be deteriorate and part of my headband have come loose . I just send my PortaPros back to koss with a note and my address , and in about 2 week I get what look and sound like a new pair in the mail ! I be so impressed , I decide to write this review . other headphone to consider : - the sennheiser px100 seem to be the main competition , so they be worth check out too . they be similarly affordable , lightweight and portable . I have not have a chance to try on or listen to a pair . - at the next level up be the Grado sr60 and sr80 , which cost a bit more but be consider by many to be the best sound value out there . I have a chance to listen to some sr80 once ; they sound great but I find they to be somewhat uncomfortable due to the earpad pressure . after a while my ear be sore . - if you prefer closed headphone -lrb- better isolation from outside noise - the previously mention phone will be audible to people near you -rrb- , I would take a look at the Sony mdr-7506 \/ mdr-v6 and the Sennheiser HD280 pro . these be also a step up in price , but consider a great value . - see for yourself at review site such as headphone.com , goodcans.com , etc. . who write this review : - I have do a lot of research , but I do not claim to be a expert or hard-core audiophile . - I buy the PortaPro in late high school , and use they all throughout college to great satisfaction . - since then I have come to prefer clarity over exaggerated bass . my current favorite headphone be the Etymotic Research er-4p . it be a odd comparison since the er-4p be in-ear-canal headphone that cost several time as much . however , for the curious : the PortaPro can not compare in treble clarity , but they do have stronger bass , be slightly more comfortable , less fatiguing , and much cheaper . there be many step up from the PortaPro , but it be a great , affordable place to start listen to good headphone . note : I actually have a pair of PortaPro Jr. s. from what I have read they be just PortaPros without the Comfort Zone switch on the temple pad . in any case , I would assume the PortaPros be the same or a step up , and I be very satisfied . +545 Headphone POS 4 I buy these about a month ago along with a pair of audio-technica ath m35 which I review a while ago and I have to say that these be very good . I be impress by the quality of the sound . I have use a lot of earbud with my iPhone and they always disappoint I either in sound quality , durability , compatibility . these however work perfectly with the iPhone . the remote control allow I to do everything with the phone without have to take it out of my pocket . Voice command be as responsive as use the phone itself , skip to the next or previous track be easy -lrb- 2 click on middle button for next , 3 for previous -rrb- , 1 click to answer a call etc. . the sound , as I say before , be very good . noise isolation work well , although I be not sure if it be such a good thing give that you should have a minimum awareness of you surroundings . I would have give it 5 star but they look really fragile . cable be very thin so I can no longer just toss they somewhere when i get home as i do with my previous one . I have get cautious and buy a case for they this way they be protect . other than that a very good product and the price be not bad either . +72 Headphone NEG 2 I really want to give these headphone a better rating but they be fall apart after one year 's use and be in imminent need of be replace . here be the pro 's and con 's as I see it . pro : 1 . great sound output for a earbud headphone . you will not these decibel level from ipod earbud . 2 . ear insert be comfortable , exchangeable and replaceable . 3 . actually have some amount of bass lead to a fairly rich sound . -lrb- see con for more -rrb- 4 . come with all size of earbud so you can try they on to see which you like best . con : 1 . severe durability issue . I use these earbud while run , cycling , rock climbing , and more and after a year of use -lrb- 1 calendar year as of one week ago -rrb- , the left earbud be hang by a thread . I have use ipod earbud as well as one design for run and they be still in great shape year later at do not cost $ 90 . 2 . the high end in these get really tinny at time . most earbud be great at high frequency and bad at low . these be the exact opposite . I like to listen to jazz when the mood strike I . Bass line be rich . the horn and sax can be unbearable at time . BOTTOM LINE : for casual music listener who do not expose they earbud to a active lifestyle , these headphone be a solid choice . if you be very active and demand durability from you earbud , you may want to look elsewhere . +672 Headphone POS 4 I have a pair of the old l-jack one that last I several year . they break , tragically , with I put they in a bag that get crush . I replace they with a pair of the straight jack style and they do not last 8 month before the right channel all but stop work . but I be go to get another pair because : they isolate sound - really - well : it could be dangerous if you be walk or etc. . the sound be good : most earbud be too treble-y but these be well-balanced they be comfortable : I do not care for cold metal bit in my ear . and the foam be more comfortable than silicone . they be cheap they be not hideous or flashy only downside be that they 'll break pretty easily if crushed and they be cheaply make -lrb- but they be cheap , so that be to be expect -rrb- . +620 Headphone NEG 2 I see the Skullcandy Dub earbud at target the other day on sale for $ 5 . I be originally plan on get the Ink would -lrb- which I have use before and like -rrb- as a temporary replacement pair for a much higher end pair that have lose sound in one ear , but they be $ 16 and , accord to the sale clerk , the Dubs be better . so it be a no-brainer . I buy two pair of the Dubs . I wish I have not . now I would much rather pay the extra $ 5 for just one pair of Ink ` ds . here why : the dub be muddy . they have lot of bass . too much of it , actually . it make my ear hurt . and it really drown out the mid , which sort of halfheartedly linger in the background . the high be also quite muddy , except for the occasional `` s '' , which produce a harsh sibilance that rattle you spine . there be almost no sound separation , and drum sound like they be come out of the next room . however , for $ 5 I really can not complain . but if you be pay any more than that I would not recommend buy this pair . instead , go for the Ink 'd , which have a much more balanced sound . +836 Headphone NEU 3 this headphone have very good audio quality but after 5-10 minute it be very uncomfortable to wear . I be start to have headache on the side of my head above the ear after that time . I have have it for the past 12 month and now I dread wear it . I be 5 ' 9 '' with average size head . try this before you get this . it do not stretch with time . +307 Headphone POS 4 I buy a pair of these at best buy a couple year ago . they break within a year of use . the cable cover come off next to the earphone . . they sound really good but be not nearly as good as they should be for the price . I buy some Sony mdr-7506 's a few week ago for only $ 84 and they sound WAY better and build far better in term of durability . save you money . +507 Headphone POS 4 Works perfectly with the Iphone 4 . however , the item should be handle with care - otherwise it may malfunction or not work at all . this mean do not pull the cord from the unit its attach to , instead properly remove the by grab it from the base of the thick plastic plug . the unit itself do not appear to be rugged so factor that into you purchase decision . +31 Headphone POS 5 all the positive review across the internet be absolutely right . from the time I put they on , these headphone be completely different from any I have previously own . the range of sound be superb , and the bass response be surprising for a package of this size . sound clarity be not a issue , you can crank the volume up quite high without any distortion . here be some more feature : - extremely portable : the px100 fold up into a little carry case - easy on the ear : the only time I have have any slight discomfort whatsoever be when I wear they for 6 hour straigh . - easy to drive : even on my AAA battery-driven zen micro mp3 player I do not need to max the volume to hear everything well . here be some other thing to consider : - since these be portable , the cord be only 5 ft long ; you will most likely need a extension if you plan on use they with a desktop pc . - these be OPEN headphone , so some sound leak out : most music and sound be barely audible a few foot away from the px100 , but game sound -lrb- gunfire , explosion , etc. -rrb- and rock music seem to propagate easily because of the sharp , intense sound . if you need a pair of headphone to use in a quiet area , I would suggest buy a closed pair -lrb- earcup -rrb- or some canal earphone -lrb- one that go inside the ear canal -rrb- . all in all , a great buy , consider that most headphone do not begin to sound this good until you hit $ 60 . +36 Headphone POS 5 I just buy a r 140 . after a brief familiarization with all the item in the shipping box I cnnect it to my tv . it pay to look up the tv manual for the proper audio out connection . I do not at first on my Bravio tv and just pick a red & white connection at random & consequently face silence on my ear phone . Consulting the tv manual , this be soon correct . the unit work well . I be 80 year old & have minor hearing loss . it beautifully compensate for this shortcome with very good sound quality . walk inside the house & outside for quite a distance , still good reception . I fully recommend this unit . I be very satisfied with it . +243 Headphone POS 5 if you be like I , and do not like those in-the-ear phone , then these be for you ! these thing sound great . the bass go rather deep , and I have not hear any crackling noise or anything . these headphone can handle a very wide range of sound . they be pretty comfortable . they take a couple day to get use to , but they be well worth it . I would highly reccommend these to anyone . I love they ! +421 Headphone NEG 1 be a Christmas gift for we grandson . he open the box , put in the battery , and go to put they on at which time they physically break . do not know if it be from a poor design or flaw , but this be the second review cite such a problem . I have no idea how they actually perform . +228 Headphone NEG 1 my order do not arrive during the shipment period . I contact with the seller , so they send I a new one . when it arrive at my place , almost 18 day have already pass from the first time that I have order they . whatever , after use one week , the right one stop to work . now , I be look to other seller to order new pair ! +861 Headphone POS 4 sound be good , but the headphone be a little small . they do not really cover my ear and they also feel a little tight . I also have the sennheiser 201 's , and I prefer they to these . the 201 's fit much better on the ear and do not squeeze you head . I would recommend they over the 202 's . what be surprising be that the 201 's be actually cheaper ! +159 Headphone POS 4 these be just excellent for the price . Bass : not too much bass or not to little bass , Bass be deep and rich . seem to be very balanced , never Muddy at all very strong @ 100 + hz . lose some bass strength under 40hz . if you a bass head just plug in you Headphone Amp and use a eq and trust I , the bass will vibrate you ear with these headphone and they still sound fairly clean but can be muddy . stock without any equalization the bass be balanced and fine . high : high sometimes get distorted or sound too harsh -lrb- Pretty Rare but be noticeable on some song -rrb- . you can hear little crackling sound and it just make I wa not to take they off or change the song , otherwise high be just fine Mids : balanced and lot of definition , just like the bass , not to little or too much . Comfort\/Built Quality : after wear they for a while you will get use to they and they will seem lighter and you can wear they for a longer amount of time without they hurt you ear . I can listen to these for about 2 hour straight before i have to take they off because my ear hurt . pad be comfortable and the stuffing be nice and soft . build Quality be ok , some part of the headphone feel really cheap like the plastic thingie that allow the headphone to turn . all the other material on the headphone feel pretty high end . +512 Headphone NEU 3 I check the price on the official site of BOQARI after i get those . the price on the site be only $ 49.95 . I like those headphone but if you want to get they i recommend you the official site of BOQARI . -lrb- ... -rrb- +863 Headphone POS 5 I always have trouble keep earphone in while run , which be why I like the behind the neack type . I have a pair of Sony mdr-as50g which be fine , but I never really like the puck-shaped storage case and the right side stop work and only the left ear have sound . these Philips be awesome , though . they be tight , light , and take no time to put on and get set to run . they stay in\/on very well . almost too well , they really block out other sound . the sound be good , but not great . but they be waterproof and can be easily rinse off . pro : Stay in with zero problem light weight quick to put on with no fuss waterproof durable -lrb- so far -rrb- good sound better than Sony mdr-as50g -lrb- my opinion -rrb- prefer simple mesh storage pouch to Sony 's plastic case con : not great sound block -lrb- maybe -rrb- too much sound +331 Headphone POS 4 these be phenomenally accurate can for the price . a tiny bit cold in the mid-range but spatial accuracy be just astounding for this kind of scratch - with reasonable-quality source material , you 'll hear terrific detail . they be also incredibly comfortable for long-term use - no hot ear or sore lobe . my only gripe be the bass , which be slightly overemphasize and sometimes come off as `` boomy '' depend on the recording , almost enough to start color the lower mid . I think I 'll keep these , but if you be really look for accuracy , you might want to roll off the bass a bit with equalization to get these perfectly flat . otherwise , these sound as good as can and iem cost 2-3 time as much . if you love bass and like to feel it in you head , you 'll really take to these . +597 Headphone POS 5 I remember buy these earphone , like 6 year ago then one of my friend break they . so when I see these on amazon I have to buy they . specially for this price and the vibration be pretty strong and great overall . +667 Headphone NEU 3 I have a ipod 3rd generation and I have some ear bud that be just as servicable . after read the review I think these would sound like some bose joint but they be just good . heavy with the bass and no real crystal clear clarity . however they cost what 18 buck ? they 'll do and I like the protective cover around the wire and the `` l '' shape plug . bit louder than my other ear bud and I need that in the gym . good buy for 18 buck ! +65 Headphone NEG 1 Review update after 6 + month of product ownership : have use these on 6 domestic trip about 2 international trip of 8 + hr to Europe and Asia . I try the bose qc-15 for about 2 week and then I have now use these for 2 trip ... and here be my conclusion : 1 -rrb- Noise Cancelling : these be no bose ... there be a significant different between the Noise cancelling of this one vs. the bose . so you get what you pay for . these do not seem to get rid of all the `` white noise '' like on a airplane etc. . noise be my primary need ... and these do a ok job but not outstanding . 2 -rrb- comfort : Bose win ... these SUCK . wear these on a extended flight and after about 2 hour , with Audio Technica , I have to keep take they off to give my ear some rest . this part be really annoying and that be why I have change my review from 3 star to 1 star . after 2 hour , you ear will be burn ... the stretch band across the top be not long enough and will start to dig into you brain ... just miserable on comfort what good be any other feature of noise cancel if these can not be worn . 3 -rrb- music : not my specialty . both play music , with Audio-Technica , the good thing be that it play even when it be turn off ... so if you battery die on a long trip , you can still use these for listen to you music , but with bose , you would be SOL . 4 -rrb- cost : these be about half of the bose ... so you get what you pay for . on further consideration , because of the comfort issue , you do not want to use these after a while , so you do not really even get what you pay for at half the price . I do not want these to get cheaper ... but why can not these guy make they more comfortable . who decide to make the head-strap to NOT be very long ? who decide not to use the softer padding over the ear ? and why be not the ear-cup a little bigger to surround my ear better . I be ready to try on-ear model and see how that do . Consumer Reports rate even the Audio-Technica on-ear model better than these . what a disappointment , do not waste you money . I 'll be put mine up for sale on e-bay if anyone want they . +480 Headphone NEG 1 this product do just fine as headphone but not noise canceling . I recommend a over the ear product . unfortunately these headphone make I have to buy the bose noise cancel headphone . if this vendor offer another product that be fully over the ear , I would recommend it before I would this pair that just sit on the ear , maybe they would be better then . +445 Headphone POS 5 the Grado sr-60 be , without question , the best headphone I have ever own . I would not go so far as to call myself a audiophile , but I appreciate great sound , and these headphone deliver that in spade . they have a very rich , balanced sound , with glitter high , silky , powerful mid , and accurate , tight low . many people seem to consider Grados `` rock '' headphone , but , to be honest , everything I have listen to on these have sound great . Electronica , metal , post-rock , indie rock , classical music ... these headphone really `` do '' every single genre , and well . the only problem be so minimal that they be hardly worth mention . the cable be very thick , and the design do not exactly ooze style . I would not recommend they for purely portable listening . many reviewer seem to think they be uncomfortable , but I find the slightly cup , padded earphone to be very cozy . it be mostly a matter of personal preference , I suppose . I have also hear headphone with `` fatter '' sound bass , so anyone with that as a priority might want to upgrade to the Grado SR80s , or hunt around some more . another reviewer call these `` studio '' headphone , which be not really true . I be use these with my ipod , and it be never sound better . in all honesty , these headphone be practically a steal at they current price point -- I have hear headphone cost twice as much that do not sound nearly as good as these do . Sennheiser , Sony , and bose do not have anything on these brooklyn-crafted wonder . compare to something like ipod earbud , it be simply night and day . do yourself a favor and pick these up -- you will not regret it ! +460 Headphone NEG 2 these may have be defective , I be not sure , but they do not do the job . I try to contact the seller twice for a refund and never receive a response . Amazon do refund my money however . +561 Headphone NEG 2 I do not like this product much . this product do not have good bass and not conformtable as well . hence decide to return this product and go for different one . +681 Headphone POS 5 my old ipod headphone break so i go on a search for some decent headphone . I want some good headphone for watch movie on my ipad with minimal outside noise interference but I know I do not want to pay $ 200-300 . during my research i eliminate beat by dre because I try they out watch zombieland and they be so tight it give I a headache . I come upon these and I like the price so I read the review here and go to YouTube check out more review and I make the purchase . I be glad I do . first movie i try they with be the dark Knight and i can say they give excellent sound cancel all the noise around I I be in the movie I forget I be lay in bed around I be my kid laugh and talk and my wife talk on the phone and I be happy that I can only hear the movie only when the scene in the movie be real quiet can I hear a little outside noise but nothing that distract I from the movie oh and yes they be comfortable on the ear . for the $ 20 I pay for I can not ask for more but I do take some reviewer advice and register the headphone they have a two year warranty if anything go wrong . overall I be very happy with my purchase +320 Headphone POS 5 before I look a long airplane trip to Asia , my husband recommend that I purchase these Sennheiser headphone . I insist that I do not need they , and he argue right back that I would not be regret buy they . Ahem . yes , sometimes husband can be right . the over-the-ear design ensure that most sound -- even the annoying whine of jet engine -- be minimize . I have no idea how loud airplane be until I put these on instead of the airline supply ear bud and my better , but still inadequate , ipod bud . I listen to my ipod and the in-flight movie for hour before my ear tire . the sound quality be much better in a quiet environment than in a noisy one since , yes , some noise get through . for those who listen to music in a office or in a college dorm , the fact that they do not leak much sound be a huge plus . my only complaint be that they do not fold or collapse to take up less space in my briefcase . these make a great gift for the traveler or just for someone who want lightweight , comfortable headphone . +952 Headphone POS 4 a good pair of head phone with amazing clarity . it be one of the basic pair and it be worth the price . +918 Headphone POS 4 instead of these headphone , I recommend the the $ 12.99 Sony fontopium . they be much better , cheaper , and you can find they in store easily -lrb- so that if you do not like they , you can easily return they -rrb- . you can even get they with the inline volume control for $ 15 ; those sound much better than the mdr-ed21lp . +789 Headphone POS 5 we purchase 2 of these for we 22 month old and 3 year old just before we trip to Hawaii . we 3 year old loved these . they fit perfectly on she . love how easily you can adjust the size . amazing that it fit we own adult big head too ! love the sound limiter too - we do not have a limiter for we Odyssey van , and we have find that we daughter tend to play with the volume and make it way too loud . this limiter give we peace of mind that she would not lose she hearing ! the length of the cord be great too - very long . we 22 month old do not like have the headphone on she head , but I be guess she 'll wear they as she get older . overall , very happy with this purchase . definitely make the airplane ride easier for we ! +373 Headphone POS 5 I purchase these headphone refurbish for $ 10 . I be not a audiophile and therefore can not give a detailed review , but I can say as a seasoned consumer that for $ 10 -lrb- shipping include ! -rrb- , it be hard to go wrong here . +548 Headphone POS 5 the Sony nc60 headphone be amazing . they offer great comfort with great sound . I be simply blow away by the sound quality -lrb- great bass -rrb- and the noise cancelation do its job . there be a slight static noise when you turn the noise cancel on and it seem to get worse when the battery get low , but when there be music on you do not notice and overall it be not that bad . my roommate just get the bose qc3 noice cancelie on-ear headphone which offer superior comfort , but not superior sound or noise canceling . the on ear design just do not match up to the over-ear . the best bang for you buck be definitely the Sony NC60s . +959 Headphone POS 5 I purchase this splitter to route audio from my computer to a 2.1 speaker set and to a 5.1 receiver . so far , so good , I have have no problem with it . it be a real simple component but simple problem do not necessarily guarantee simple , reliable solution . it look like we have a winner here . +930 Headphone NEG 2 the only good thing of this product be the reasonable price , and the case go with it . the sound quality , as many people mention in the review , it very poor . you have to turn on the noise cancel function to hear a bearable sound , which be ridiculous . do not even mention the noise canceling , since it be not effective at all . I use it on two flight , and it only reduce about 20 % of the engine noise . it be way worse than the bose one , but consider the price , it make sense ... I do not recommend this product . +198 Headphone NEU 3 pro : flashy\/sporty design . lifetime warranty . sweaty resistant . con : earfin be a bad take on Sennheiser 's original `` twist-to-fit '' system . Soundquality be quite terrible . ------------------ First of , these headphone look good . the bright yellow and black color scheme be sexy . the build quality be quite good . very nice attention to little detail like the logo of `` Sennheiser '' on one side of the cable splitter and `` Adiddas '' on the other . the MX 680 come with many accessory , different size of the earfin and the rubber around the earbud . foam sock . and the thick and rugged carry case . I own the mx75 -lrb- 1st generation of Senn 's sport line -rrb- . I like the original `` twist to fit '' system much better , because instead of a sharp `` fin '' , they use round little wheel that roll much nicer against you ear and do not poke . the earfin be very soft and at time do not offer enough stiffness to keep the bud in my ear . when they do , they hurt my ear after just a few minute -lrb- and be distracting -rrb- the cable system be quite bad . you may ditch the volume control and just connect to a armband . the problem be , the cable be not long enough when I move my arm run . but if I use the extender with volume control , it be very heavy and add unwelcome tension to my ear . sennheiser do give you a clip that you can attach to the cable to keep it from dangle around . that be totally useless to I because I work out in t-shirt -lrb- and I do not know anyone who do not -rrb- , there be absolutely no place for it to clip on . SOUNDQUALITY - okay , these headphone sound tiny and thin . if you push they a bit into you ear they sound fantastic , but that be not feasible while lift weight , on a bike , or run . so , if you leave they on like normal , they sound no better than stock earbud that you get from buy any mp3 player . there be literally no base thump . you can hear the beat , but there be no impact . one way to look at this be that music sound extremely light , and will not become too involve or distract from you workout . but without any low and mid-low end to balance out the frequency , the high just be shrieky . it will sound like you brain be be scrape . other company offer headphone at much better value both above and below the price for the mx680 , with better comfort and better soundquality . there be no reason to pay so much money for these to replace you stock bud . except maybe for the look , but then you should look to other product of the sport range . +136 Headphone POS 5 great sound . I find it a little difficult to setup without instruction\/manual -lrb- my set do not come with any -rrb- . once I find the right connection , it be perfect at any frequency I select . I once have they on for over 4 hour and battery do not die . it fit my head just fine and you can adjust the length . after look for day and price checking for the best , I be extremely satisfy with these headphone . +240 Headphone POS 5 we have two little boy that be very into computer and my ipad . the problem be I be so sick of listen to they kid show I have to find a way to tone it down . these be the perfect headphone for little kid . they be very sturdy and fit all size of kid . +3 Headphone POS 5 ive have these for a couple day and there sick , im very big on my music . there great for all type of music just adjust the eq level , worth every cent , i love v moda im never onna change brand . +595 Headphone NEG 1 this radio be total poop ! it work great for 2 month , and then all of a sudden , the slightest breeze would cause the thing to shut off . at first it would turn back on and if I be able to hit the lock switch before it shut off it would stay on ... until I want to change the station and have to unlock the darn thing and `` poof '' go . after a couple of day of these shenanigan , it would shut off as soon as I turn on it on , lock trick or no lock trick . end of the tune , done ! and to think , I be anti-sony !!! Panasonic be a good name but I will not buy anything they make anymore . I buy a phone from they that come with a faulty battery , return it twice and finally buy a good battery and it be work great ever since but come on !!! the thing be brand new !!! +977 Headphone POS 5 I can not do earbud because my ear be too small and they always fall out . these be not as loud as my other behind the ear headphone , but they be so much more comfortable and the bass be awesome ! +383 Headphone POS 5 very fast shipment . excellent sound quality , great bass . slick cord . fit great . look durable , let 's hope it be . really great sound for the price . +627 Headphone POS 5 I buy these headphone over 3 year ago , and they be still go strong . I use they in the office only , so they get little abuse -lrb- e.g. I do not blast the bass at work , or anything -rrb- . I have drop they a number of time , though , and they do not break . the sound quality be good for listen to cd , but like I say , I do not blast the bass or anything . finally , they be extremely comfortable . I wear they for 7 + hour some day and they do not bother I one bit . +449 Headphone POS 5 it only be a month but so far so good . sound great and look very durable -lrb- a must as my headphone usually do not last long -rrb- . fantastic price especially as i have they ship to the UK . well worth it ! +244 Headphone NEG 1 not a good product . difficult to keep tune to the television , and the battery would not stay in place . I would not purchase this product again . +972 Headphone POS 5 these headphone be my workhorse headphone . they be open , which mean I do not miss the dinner bell or the phone ringing . they sound great , be very light , and , to shock some people , be rather comfortable . yes , I say it , these headphone be comfortable ! this be my first Grado purchase , and I enjoy they so much I have to try the rs2us 's and I end up get they too ! sound : 4.5 \/ 5 Grado headphone be know to favor the midrange and be fast respond headphone . definitely true . Bass be there , but compare to the mid and high , its the most lack . I do not find this a major distraction , as I do not crave massive bass , and I have a portable amp that can boost bass if absolutely necessary when a basshead want to try it out and complain about lack of bass . if you enjoy rock and do not need eardrum-rattling bass , give these a try ! comfort : 5\/5 call I crazy , but these be the most comfortable headphone I have . most people complain about the ear pad and the headband , but I find the headband to be just fine , and the ear pad give more cushion than my rs2us 's , at a slight tradeoff of muffle sound a tiny bit -lrb- not too drastic , after use the headphone for 80 + hour you do not really notice it anymore -rrb- . I do not mod my headphone , but if you be willing to , these will become even more comfortable to you , and at the price-point of these headphone , it be still quite affordable for those in the know about higher quality headphone . value : 5\/5 they might not be the greatest overall sound headphone at they price-point , and some may complain about they comfort , but I find this a great deal . it be in the middle of it be class , one that span from $ 80 to $ 300 , this be around $ 150 . some people start to listen to Grado and wonder how the higher end headphone sound , so start off with something like the sr80us to sr225us and if you get curious you can still afford to step up to a wooden Grado set , which Grado aficionado state you need for a true Grado headphone sound . +785 Headphone NEG 1 unfortunately the headphone have already stop work . one of the earbud go out completely about 1wk after receive they . the only other problem be that I be assume because of low cost price I do not feel that it be worth with to return it . +962 Headphone NEG 2 these be not very good . I do not like how they fall of my ear so easily . I have to keep push they back in and the sound quality be comprimise . +135 Headphone NEG 2 I review many source before I purchase the Koss SportaPro Stereo Headphones but the headphone be over rate . they be uncomfortable and sound quality be nothing spectacular . the metal band that surround you neck , to provide the sport set-up , never perform in a satisfactory manner . find another product to purchase if you be look for a comfortable headphone with better sound . +370 Headphone NEG 2 I do not know if this be a bad design or I just have my bad luck get a defect one . when I walk around with this stuff on , I can hear a very disturbing noise . later I find out the earphone actually deliver and amplify the friction noise between its cord and the zipper on my jacket to my ear ! you can avoid this problem by be static -lrb- people alive will not always be static -rrb- , or by wear soft material clothing with no zipper . other pro and con . pro : decent sound quality build in volumn contol con : ugly look except the sennheiser brand on it uncomfortable earbud -lrb- too large -rrb- +676 Headphone POS 5 for my purpose -lrb- watch tv in my room silently so as not to bother my husband -rrb- , these be perfect . Easy to install , comfortable , and the sound quality be perfect . Money well spend ! +309 Headphone POS 5 I have have these headphone for a few day now and have to say that I be really impress by they beautiful sound and superb comfort . the sound from these headphone really bring alive you jazz , rock and hip-hop favorite ... if you do not already have nice headphone you 'll be hear thing in you music you have never hear before . a great example for I be listen to Ornette Coleman 's `` the shape of jazz to come '' follow by the root `` do you want more ?!!!??! '' play through iTunes at 128 kbp \/ 44.100 khz - not exactly a range advocate by audiophile , but the music sound full , rich , complex and beautiful ... very nice response from deep bass to high end . if you be go to be listen to CD 's or audio through a ipod or computer at home , these headphone be perfect . any better headphone be go to be a waste of money unless you be go to be listen to vinyl through a nice amp . note : the impedance of these headphone be 50 ohm , not 120 ohm as list on Amazon . this make these headphone perfect for listen to portable electronics \/ computer , rather than more expensive headphone like the hd-595 's which will really require a separate headphone amp to bring out they best . a additional note for first-time headphone buyer - these be `` dynamic , open '' style headphone , which mean that these be best for home use . the open style mean that some audio be go to pass from the outside of the headphone -lrb- would drive officemate in a quiet office crazy -rrb- , and external sound be not go to be well attenuate - mean that they be perfect for a quiet home or office , but will be poor for subway \/ airplane \/ noisy street use . overall a great set of headphone for they purpose - home audio \/ portable electronics . +701 Headphone NEG 1 work in a big block building , it be hard to get reception on a radio here . but I have hope this radio headphone set would be different , it be not . I can not tune one station in on this . and at my apartment , it be not that much better . I be only able to tune one of my favorite station in , and that have static also . I live and work near a big city , so get a strong signal be not the problem . maybe it work best outside , when you work out ? but then again the design of this be not very well think out . it have around the ear design , but it do not feel secure , and I would think it would easily fall off if you jogging with they on . I 'll go back to use the , around the ear mp3 player that I have , until a better product come along . the seller of this product ship the item fast , and I would buy from he again . so there be no fault on they part , as to the quality of this product . +177 Headphone NEU 3 part i : November 2011 I have be run all summer 2011 in some old sennheiser pmx80 - 3-5 mile , 3x per weak , plus headphon all day while work and commute . when they break , I try to replace they but the new pmx80 I get be total garbage . they break after about 2 week , cause I to switch brand . I hunt around on the internet , read all the run forum and product review , and discover these philip headphone . they arrive , and I immediately put they to work at a renew intensity , training and commute in they daily -lrb- I live in NYC , so I be on the subway on a near daily basis -rrb- . the headphone be lightweight , and do not have any stupid volume control or modular cord or any of that nonsense which tend to just get in the way or create another point of failure as you see on the some of the more expensive headphone which seem to sound identical . for run , they offer a very comfortable fit , but sweat buildup can cause the volume to decrease temporarily or fully short out , despite the claim of be `` waterproof . '' the sound be okay , although the bass could be richer . I listen to a lot of Southern hip hop when I run -lrb- rip DJ Screw and my dawg pimp c -rrb- , and the low could be fuller . still , the clarity be good , and they let in enough background noise to not be unsafe . the jack be the straight kind -lrb- not l-shaped -rrb- which I think actually decrease wear on that most fragile point of nearly any headphone . I typically connect to a Android EVO , with a top audio port . a l-jack would therefore constantly be bent , cause the wire to fail that much sooner -lrb- as happen with my old sennhaiser set -rrb- part ii : May 2012 after about 6 month of heavy use , the right channel totally fail , cause by a weakening of the wire immediately near the headphone port . not too surprising , as the weight of the Android and a few fumble where the headphone cord eat the full weight of be yank out weaken the cord over time . still , this be hardly a new problem for headphone engineer to solve , and lower my review one full star . I do more research , and determine that nearly every pair of `` sport '' `` performance '' `` endurance '' `` training '' or `` gym '' headphone all have a sizable amount of 1-star review by people claim to have break they in a matter of month . especially the $ 80 - $ 100 one . with that in mind , I opt to simply replace my philip with a identical pair . for the price and amount of abuse and high functionality , I have neither try nor read about a better pair of headphone for this application . if a $ 30 pair of headphone last 6 month , no big deal . I would be piss pay 3x as much , but at $ 5 a month , I can not be that upset . when a pair of indestructible , high-quality headphone cost $ 100 + appear , I will be eager to buy at the first opportunity . until then , these seem to be the best low-mid range athletic headphone there be . tl ; dr : do the trick , but like all headphone , will probably break after 6 month of serious use . Worth the money , but do not expect miracle . +466 Headphone POS 5 this be headphone be excellent . the sound be smooth , light and airy thanks to the open back design . the bass be warm and rich . this headphone be a non-noise canceling design meaning that you can hear that go on around you , bad in noise environment . however , in a quiet room these headphone sweet . +267 Headphone POS 4 I have read all kind of review of this one on amazon before I place the order . after I get the product , I be so pleased that it depress most of the ambient noise . I be so happy that I do not even hear the buzz make by my desktop computer fan . it be just great for such price . and the sound be just ok for I -- I be not a audiophile , I just use it to listen to mp3 . the only reason I do not give it a full score be it be not so comfortable to wear it for a long time . +690 Headphone NEG 1 I be mis-led into believe I coul extend my headset and boon to this adapter and all would be fine . nope . only audio be convert . fortunately the cost be little to nothing . but its worth nothing to I so I still lose something . +845 Headphone POS 4 I buy this product for my husband to use at night so I could sleep while he watch tv . it work great ! he say the quality of the sound be very good and easy to use . +289 Headphone NEG 2 1 . noisy -lrb- background white noise + intermittent diconnection and reconnection with a short loud sound that feel like slapping ear -rrb- 2 . height be fix and I can not make it fit my head +430 Headphone POS 5 this be my third pair . I love these . the price be great , the sound be also really good . when it come to ear bud , often time the bass be really lack . the bass in these be outstanding . +389 Headphone POS 5 I get these with the Pepsi stuff promotion . I be look for something a bit different than the earbud I would be use with my ipod . see , I listen to a lot of podcast , and some of they be so soft I can barely hear they . the earbud just do not cut it . with these , I do not even have to turn the volume up , I can hear everything perfectly . when listen to music , I can hear in clarity I never hear before . the bass be perfect , there be no `` tinny '' sound , it be like listen to my favorite music for the first time . the Annie Lennox song from the last lord of the ring movie have never sound better , and that include listen to it in the theater . I keep they at my desk at work , and it could not be better . first , the sound of course . second , the cord be like 10 foot long . I be not chained to my computer when listen to audio from there , and I can get up and do thing without move the ipod or computer . that be awesome . plus , they fit comfortably over my ear . the best part ? they drown out the noise of the cluck gossiper in the office . peace and quite , plus my favorite tune and podcast . it be like heaven on my ear . +362 Headphone POS 4 want a new pair of earbud style earphone after get by with stock headset for android and iphone\/ipod device . I have read that the control may not be compatible on other device but if the sound work and be durable be fine for I . Got vary result of the vol\/play control pad on a old iPhone only the play btn work , nothing from the volume control . no problem on ipod touch 2nd Gen. Nokia n900 - do not work at all . LG Optimus V play control work also the skip fwd and back - vol control do not work . Motorola Xoom be a strange one , the vol start the mp3 player and pause only - the play button itself do nothing , no click fwd or back . overall nice in ear design , bass and no noticeable sound leak while play loudly around other people . +616 Headphone POS 5 these earbud be the next best thing to noise canceling phone . because they fit in you ear canal , they block most of the surround noise . as for sound quality , nothing can replace a great set of studio headphone . but you buy these for run , cycling or any active sport , they be the perfect earbud . +141 Headphone POS 5 for about $ 10 , these be a bargain !! I buy the blue version of these on Amazon for the purpose of act as a backup pair of headphone for my $ 40 Skullcandy TiTAN 's -lrb- black -rrb- I get they because they be recommend from Consumer Reports , and I be impressed . the sound quality rival that of my top-notch TiTAN 's , and they fit much better in my ear than the TiTAN 's . my friend say they be much more durable than the other $ 10 headphone she be have in the past ; very sturdy for the price . the only thing I and she be concern about be how the silicone bud be slightly flimsy , but , then again , these be only $ 10 . but for $ 10 , you could not find a better pair of headphone . UPDATE : I have go through 2 pair of these thing since I first buy they . I wash my 1st pair , & go awhile without another pair like this . when I order my second pair , I realize again what I have be miss . the bass be not as full as my sennheiser cx300 ii the treble be richer , however . and these thing can stand a lot of abuse . as long as the beating be not abnormal , the only real reason you would buy another pair be because you lose they . +879 Headphone NEG 2 they do not work . I buy they to use with my tv . the only reception I get be with the radio , and that be not the best reception . +429 Headphone POS 4 First off , I do ton of research before buy these headphone . I read review one countless website to be sure these be the headphone for I . conclusively , I find that most people complain about : lack of bass , cheap design , and price . I find these for around 100 on eBay , brand new , so I decide , `` why not ? '' I get these about a month ago and have fall in love with they . I agree , the bass will not blow you away . there be time when you wish it would just hit harder , but I guess I have get use to my $ 40 Sony In-Ear Headphones that deliver more pound bass than these BOSE headphone . BUT , the clarity in these headphone be amazing ! I find myself not recognize certain song as they begin play because I be hear subtle sound , noise , instrument , etc. that my other headphone just be not able to produce . to test it out I turn the music up to roughly 75 to 80 % and play various genre of music . I start with 3oh ! 3 which sound great . all the electronic sound , strong bass , and loud vocal sound great . very clear and it leave I satisfied . so I switch it to some Kanye West -lrb- 808 's and hearbreak album -rrb- play the second song `` welcome to Heartbreak '' . this song have pretty strong , deep bass , and I want to see how well these headphone perform . well , to be honest , it leave I a little disappointed . everything else sound great , but those really low bass note just be not as strong as I have hope . I then listen to various other style of music for a hour and really feel satisfied with my purchase . of course there be headphone out there for less that may have better bass , but I think that the portability of the headphone and the clarity of the music make up for it . I highly recommend these headphone , although I be not sure I would pay 130-140 for they . I get these for around $ 100 so I be satisfy with the purchase . I be in no way a audiophile but I love my music and can tell the difference between wash out sound and high definition clarity . if you really need that thump bass that shake you brain , get some nice in-ear headphone around the same price range . but with comfort and lightness its side , these bose around-ear headphone will compete with any headphone around the same price range in sound quality and clarity . some have complain that they feel cheap and break easily . I have find that they be lightweight which make they appear cheap , but in my month of testing -lrb- definitely not be SUPER careful with they -rrb- , I have not have such problem . +44 Headphone POS 5 to preface this , I have have these headphone for around a month so far , so they be break in and have be test in a variety of situation . as a music producer , I demand high quality , transparent sound reproduction in headphone and speaker , but as a average american , I require these product to be affordable . I have hear a lot about these portapro , so I give it a shot and order some . look : these headphone have a 80s retro look to they -- so retro , I be afraid to go out with these , wary that woman pass by might point and laugh at I . I do not get these to strut around with , but if that be you plan , I would not recommend it . I personally love the old school look , though . construction : at first when I open up the packaging , it surprise I how small these thing be . it dawn on I that I may have to replace they soon . . the metal band look too thin , the foam pad appear to be flimsy and the cord I feel would snap with minor tug . I be wrong ... I have put these through a lot so far this month : I have throw they , wear they in 30 degree weather , sit on they , stretch they out too far , yet nothing seem to phase these ! no wonder they have be in production for more than 25 year . sound : huge . anything play well on these : Rock , americana , Two-Step , IDM ... really , anything . I be astounded by how loud and clear these little headphone can be . in audacity , I make a sweeping tone and find that the PortaPros cover the entire frequency spectrum with ease . I do not have much else to say , these headphone deliver . get they . they be comfortable , portable -lrb- duh -rrb- , crisp , clear and cheap . +368 Headphone POS 5 after read and look at review online , I think I find the perfect headphone for the gym , I love the soul by Ludacris sl150 for they full sound but there be a little too bulky for gym . these M-80 's be pretty compact , they look amazing , the material be top notch and feel very durable . now on to the disappointing part : the sound . review hail these headphone as `` amazing sound '' , so since I listen to a variety of music genre , I be excite to try they . I know there be a break-in period of probably 24hrs so for a entire week , I plug they to my pc and have iTunes play all night at 1\/4 volume . the sound be still flat and dull , I have to change the setting to `` bass booster '' to get a decent sound bass , even on dance and hip hop track . all in all , I will keep these because they be so compact but when I be home , I grab my sl150 's . UPDATE : well , I guess I do not give it enough time to break-in or something be loose inside the headphone but all of sudden , they come alive ! the high and mid be clearer and the low can now be feel . sorry about my initial poor review Mr. Kolton , you build a great headphone . +762 Headphone POS 5 I have try different headphone through the year . these be by far my favorite for run . I run at least three time a week and these headphone be always reliable . they be not the most rugged , but as good as you can get for the price . sound be not bose quality , but good enough for run . this be my second pair in two year . +978 Headphone NEG 1 I have have these headphone for about two year . I want everyone to know that the sound be extraordinary . I still to this day have to check when listen that the volume be not turn up with my wife try to sleep . the sound be as close to sit in a movie theater as you be probably go to get . without the vibration of course . they be everything you could want in realistic sound , comfort , and battery life . this be where my accolade end however . I have notice another review say that he break at the swivel point where they adjust to the shape of you head . the same thing happen to I after about a year . when that happen they just kind of dangle from the head unit -lrb- oh , and yes , I be very careful with they -rrb- of course this seem to happen after the warranty have expire . well , I have refuse to reward the manufacturer for poor engineering at this point by another purchase . I use epoxy glue and bit of plastic to effect a repair . this be not bad but I also find that duct tape around that have help as well . I have be use they for about a year now . still great sound ! but if you be plan on buy these I think the manufacture could at least include some epoxy glue and duct tape with the purchase . they look stupid perhaps on my head but the sound be great ! +974 Headphone POS 4 for some reason its difficult to find sport earhook headphone that also have the volume and track control attachment . I can not live without the track pause control , the area where I jog be very social and I get tire of have to pull my bud off every time someone say hi , especially since I have to dig the iphone back out of its armband to start thing go again . for I a earloop be a necessity , everything else fall out as soon as I get above walk . these fit in the ear pretty well , I kind of have to push the bud in on the left side , but everyone 's ear be a little weird . one nice feature be the optional cord extender , its great to take off for jogging to keep the cable nice and short if you use a armband for you player , but you can pop it back on if you want to put the player in you pocket . sound quality be good enough , mostly I listen to radio and podcast , so it do not matter much to I . usually when I be exercise there be enough ambient noise I can not really notice , anyway . overall , I be happy with these so far . +254 Headphone NEG 1 well as the title say , `` I can not stand these '' . I have use they three time and during all 3 attempt of use , they never stay on my ear . they just keep fall off . I `` m not sure if they be make for giant ear or what but while try to eat lunch and listen to podcast one afternoon , I spend more time put they back on my ear rather eat my burger . with each chew they wiggle a little further off till I have to readjust they every minute -lrb- no lie -rrb- . so unless you have giant ear I would stay away . I cant attest to sound quality because they would not stay on my ear long enough for I to judge . I would however suggest for a few dollar more the philip adjustable earhook headsphone shs4840\/28 . much better and adjustable +76 Headphone POS 5 love these headphone . the sound quality be great and they really be comfortable , just unable to adjust they down to fit my head , I guess I have a smaller head . headphone fit my teens fine . however , that be minor and I have make do . I would buy they again and of course recommend they for any one who want great quality headphone for a reasonable price . Great for holosync usage ... they make a difference in what you hear . +334 Headphone NEU 3 pro : - sound quality much better than the amazon price - loudness - fit comfortably on ear , adjustable a bit con : - build quality be poor - pad feel thin\/cheap so that be about it for I . +500 Headphone NEG 2 I have be look for a Bluetooth headphone for a while now and when I find the Logitech headphone it be the design that I be look for . a small headset that be wireless and it do not look like a studio headset . I get the headset in December and it work well for about 3 week and then develop the crack that other reviewer have describe . I get a replacement headphone and it also develop a crack in less than a week even when I try to be careful when handle it . if it be not for the crack , I would have easily rate the headphone 4 star . Amazon be very helpful when I report the problem and I get a full refund after I return the headphone . +532 Headphone NEG 1 pro : great sound , good comfort , great packaging con : very fragile , mine break apart after a few month of infrequent and gentle use +34 Headphone POS 5 awesome headphone for the price . buy these to replace a pair that have wear out -lrb- and I never send in the warranty -rrb- . these I believe have a lifetime warranty , but at this price if they break I would buy another pair if they be not fix under warranty anyway . nice balance of sound with decent bass for the size and type of headphone . not pro quality , but much better than any phone that come with a mp3 player . Perfect for use at work since I keep it a little low -lrb- unless a reaallly good jam come on -rrb- and I can still hear what be go on around I . +163 Headphone POS 5 I believe for the price this product be really worth the purchase . it make share music much easier . also I personally prefer belkin in audio accessory . +829 Headphone POS 4 I really like sennheiser because they sell quality product at reasonable price . these headphone be no exception . I get it at $ 21 , which be a steal . the sound quality be almost as good as a $ 70 pair of headphone I be use before . when compare these to bose QuietComfort 15 acoustic , the bose be noticeably better . but , I pay $ 21 vs. $ 300 it cost for the bose . my only complaint be that these headphone have the bass frequency slightly increase . I be from the old-school and do not believe in use a equalizer or change the frequency . regardless , these headphone be great . and to truly enjoy they , use they to listen to you favorite cd -lrb- mp3 will do these headphone no justice -rrb- . +668 Headphone NEU 3 I have two problem with this item . 1 . I can not use it with my ipod without take the case off first - the connector be too wide to fit through the opening -lrb- I have a iFrogz case -rrb- . 2 . the item be not a Belkin product . I throw away the packaging and I can not remember who make it now , but I do not see anything on it that say it be make by Belkin . other than that , it seem fine - just not exactly what I need . for a little more money , I end up buy the Griffin splitter -lrb- see link -rrb- . it have individual volume control which be nice and it come with a adapter that I can use with any headset without remove the case from my ipod video . Griffin SmartShare with Headphone Adapter for iPhone -lrb- Black -rrb- +283 Headphone POS 5 love these headphone . they last a very long time as compare with other headphone I have use . they be very comfortable and stay put even during very jarring activity such as run . they be also water\/sweat resistant . I have fry out many other headphone because of this and these be the only one that stay in my smallish ear without constant fiddling . Worth pay a little more for , but they be on the higher side for headphone . price have come down a bit due to a newer version out . +842 Headphone POS 4 great headphone for my need . I do my research on this item and the Sennheiser 's be the best for the price for hear my Sony tv . sound quality be great even though , for example , if you lay they down or pause you tv , after a short while , the headphone return to a ` static ' state which would disturb some people , but not I . they be good headphone and I recommend they . +502 Headphone POS 5 great phone for the price . I be hesitant to spend the money but I be sure glad I do . one word of caution , if you do not want to hear everything on you recording do not buy these , get the cheap one . these phone let you hear everything . some reviewer have ding the cord for be small but I find nothing wrong with it . these phone be for adult not kid . would definitely buy again . +831 Headphone POS 4 the sound of the equipment be excellent . Controls be not easy , too small . if I bow the headphone will not hold in place . refer to the Sennheiser Wireless headphone r 120 pURCHASED THRU AMAZON +472 Headphone POS 4 we get these for several multi-user workstation . they be adequate for the price . we want something with plastic\/leather ear pad that can be wipe down between user , and these provide that for we . these be best for industrial , public , multi-user situation where the listener will not be need they for very long . as other have mention , they be not very comfortable , so you do not want to wear they for more than 30 minute at time -lrb- or less , for those who have large head -rrb- . the sound be also adequate for the above state purpose . these be by no means mean to be use to pick out the 3rd chair violin during a very quiet movement of Bach . +210 Headphone NEG 2 what incredible sound ! Crisp , clear , beautiful range between high and low . if only I could tolerate the way they feel on my head . the ear cup feel and fit just fine . the problem be the headband . as I hold it , it seem to be pad very well , but when I place the headphone on my head , it feel like a heavy piece of plastic rest on my bare skull . -lrb- \* note to reader : between the plastic of the headband and my actual skull be the headband padding , my scalp , and a full head of hair . -rrb- I try adjust the headband , and shift around the way they sit on my head , but I could never get comfortable . it be really too bad , because they be probably the greatest sound set of headphone I have ever worn . I just can not stand to wear they . +14 Headphone POS 5 simply put , these headphone be very reveal . do not purchase these if you plan on listen to low bit rate mp3 's . these phone be for high quality listening ... if you be a producer like I , you will want to remaster all of you work to match the quality capable of these phone ... mdr-sa5000 's tell the truth ! sometimes the truth hurt . : -rrb- +590 Headphone POS 4 in May , I be look around for a better earbud than the standard Apple crap and find these . I love they at first , as they block sound , have great quality , and fit snugly into my ear . use of the remote be also great , and a huge upgrade over continually take out my ipod to change the song . recently , these earbud have drop in sound quality , with one barely produce any sound . I have be take good care of they , without any misuse . I recommend these if someone can afford to keep buy they over and over . +493 Headphone POS 4 the folding thing be easy and it be very handy have the plastic case . the sound be very good , not excellent though ... especially on the low , I have never try the porta pro , so I can not compare , I buy a $ 20.00 pair of Sony 's that be so bad they be unusable before purchase these . I use they for mostly for run , they sound good , they stay in place , what more can you ask ... , well , ok , a little better reproduction and accuracy on the low end . +438 Headphone NEG 1 the headphone break in two on the third use . probably just bad luck , but I return it as well as the second headphone I order for my husband . return the item be painless , thanks so much . +32 Headphone POS 5 be wear some ear bud for week now , and they never feel good in my ear ; never have like they . since I arrive here at this new company , people all have nice headphone . I find these , and they be price right , buy they , and can truly say - Sennheiser HD 202 ii rock . I listen to a eclectic variety of music , from Slayer to Carrie Underwood to Shinedown to Texas Hippie Coalition and I can say that all sound fantastic on these . much better than annoying ear bud . if you be look for decent headphone for a low price , look no further . +584 Headphone POS 5 I buy these for my son , after he very extensive research into find the best quality headphone on the market . without a doubt , these be not only a great value for the price but in any price range . the sound be amazing ! as a hat off to Amazon : these be actually a little hard to find ... not only do you have they , but they be at a discounted price . they also arrive on the exact date on the shipping confirmation . diff --git a/train/HomeTheaterSystem.txt b/train/HomeTheaterSystem.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..9591e40f887dfbebed9988e703955c3200ce7d23 --- /dev/null +++ b/train/HomeTheaterSystem.txt @@ -0,0 +1,701 @@ +740 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 so far i have try ever home theater in a box and they keep get worse . when Aiwa be in business they have the best home theater in a box . they sub-woofer be independently power that be standard . these day the higher end home theater in a box only reserve the power sub-woofer . 95 percent of the customer agree . the sound be so high pitched which sound like a alarm radio on steroid or the thumpage be not there . they advertise that they have high RMS but that be a lie . false advertising that be what that be . we should not have to live like this as Americans .

I pay $ 199 at Costco , the Costco guy say it be a great system and as a bonus it come with a ipod dock . I really do not plan on keep it , I just want to check it out . the guy at Costco say just return it if I do not like it he also say I probably would not return it . I find out later the dock alone retail around $ 80 . the guy be right I be keep it . `` great system '' +933 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I think I would give KLH a try base on several review that this company make good gear . this be a big disappointment . these speaker have nothing - they sound like tin can . now you could say you get what you pay for , but I honestly can not find anything nice to say about they . they have no bass , the midrange be muddy - seem like a few octave be simply miss , and the high be loud , but not crisp . the subwoofer be somewhat decent , but its not really 50 watt . it be 25 watt RMS , 50 watt peak . RMS should be the only rating you look at , as it be a more standardized measure of power . I return mine to the store +607 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I love the quality of sound and clarity . the problem I have be the dvd player crash only 6 month after purchase . I have read that many people have have the same problem , how about a recall ? all the equipment I have be Samsung , tv dvd . dvdr rom , no problem with anthing else . +443 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 a perfect dvd system for my apartment ! I get this OPPO dvd system just recently and absolutely love it . my girlfriend and I have a great time watch `` Lord of the ring : the return of the King '' so much that she be go to order one for herself as well . why do I love this system so much ? it play pretty much all disc and format - divx\/xvix , hdcd , SVCD , CD , mp3 , dvd R\/RW , CD-R\/RW , Kodak Picture CD . now I can play the disc send to I by my friend in Russia , France and China and the movie and mp3 file download from the internet . Picture quality be superb - better than my parent 's dvd player . the progressive scan video output generate extremely clean picture , with no flicking nor articraft . I be ecstatic with my purchase . if you be look for a great system , this have get to be it . +711 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I recently purchase a LG LHB335 Blu-Ray all in one surround sound home theater system from Butterfly Video . they have a excellent price and it arrive promptly . it have great sound for the price . it be very easy to set up and have a fabulous array of feature . I have no problem with the teapot whistle speaker issue . +446 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I be happy with this home theater system . it play all the latest media type file . sound quality be excellent . ca not complain . +840 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I replace a lower end vizio sound system with this one and be amaze at the huge difference in quality of sound . this be a great look , great sound system . Super easy to install -- great remote !! I love it . +511 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I be very disappoint with this speaker system . the lousy speaker on my tv sound much better . I have to turn it off at first , but then experiment a little more . it sound half way decent if you be only listen to music . Kind of like a old garage sale radio . it sound terrible for tv and movie though , which be what I buy it for . the sound be very flat , and even though I turn the rear speaker up all the way , they be barely audible . I would not really suggest this system for anyone , even those on a limited budget like I . you can find a system that sound better in most garbage dumpster . +105 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I buy a Panasonic SC-HT930 home theater system online from Dell . I think the sound quality be great . but within about three week it jam up . there be two cd inside and the drawer would not open . every time I turn it on it immediately give a error code and turn itself off . I call Dell and they refuse to help say it have be more than twenty-one day from invoice . when I call Panasonic they refer I to a authorized service center in my area . I call after one week and be tell the optical pickup need to be replace and that it be on order and would be in the follow week . I call again after one more week and be tell the part be on backorder with Panasonic and will not be in for at least one more week . I feel I make a huge mistake order from Dell since they will not stand behind product they sell that do not have the Dell name on they . I will also think twice about buy Panasonic product in the future . +662 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 First of all , I would like to say I be not a audiophile . I use to install home theater as well as cable , so I be slightly more advanced than clueless when it come to a\/v . live in Florida , not many home be make to optimize a surround sound system . my home be very open , my living room have peak ceiling , and my entire house have a wood ceiling . I do not want to mess with the wood ceiling and put rear speaker in my home would not be feasible . but , the my stock tv speaker -lrb- along with all stock tv speaker -rrb- be terrible . I want to amp up my sound . know I be not go to have surround sound , and not want to throw down nearly $ 1,000 for a bose 3.2.1 system , I begin look at sound bar . I frequent best buy , HH Gregg , Sears , etc. check out the sound bar . many have wireless sub which I do like . other be setup so all the wire be go through the sound bar itself . again , I do not like that idea . I see this sound bar on the Daily Deal for $ 249.99 . after diving into review , there be two main complaint . First be the system do not produce true surround sound . to I , this should not be in any review . it be a sound bar . of course it do not produce true surround sound . the second complaint have something to do with run a 3d signal through the receiver which require a update that be hard to load . this do not pertain to I because my television nor any of my component be or ever will be 3d . so , I be sell on the review . I like the idea that this unit work have a receiver . all my component would run through the receiver just like any other receiver . I be skeptical about have the sub build into the receiver . I be not a huge fan of component be build into component -lrb- all-in-one htib - when one thing go , you lose everything -rrb- . I will update this review if I have any issue with it . I order the item on Monday with the normal free shipping . it arrive on Wednesday - that be gnarly . set up the system be very easy . it sound great . it 100 % do the job intend of better my tv speaker . movie , television , and video game be much more enjoyable . the music sound amazing . the remote look cheaply make , but it be a remote . the remote have a very simple design which be convenient for the technologically impaired . I be very pleased with this purchase . it sound great . I be stress the fact that I be not a audiophile and that this unit be only intend to compensate for my tv speaker . it go above and beyond what be expect . I hope this help ! +654 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this sound system rock ! I do not want a whole bunch of speaker all around my apartment and so , after search for quite some time , i settle on this two piece system . the bass do blue-ray film justice and after set the center speaker on the bar to 5 and the bass to 0 it work like a charm ! if you crank up the woofer to 3 or 4 the place be go to shake , which be awesome if you own you own home , but not so good if you live in a apartment . I happen to live in a studio and setting 1 on the woofer be perfect for I . +86 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 the ht-sk5 be a lemon -- do not buy it . although the sound quality be great , the audio do not match the video when you be use a digital input , like digital hdtv . so , the lip do not match the word on any digital station . it make it impossible to watch any hdtv programming , which essentially be why I buy it . after 3 month of deal with Samsung 's poor technical support , include ship the product back to Samsung , I learn from Samsung that they can not fix the problem , and they do not have a replacement product that would work better . the only thing more frustrating than the audio sync problem be Samsung 's awful technical support . the staff be poorly educate about they own product , they never return call or e-mail like they promise , and seem to have no concern for they customer . do not waste you money -- in fact , Samsung treat I so poorly , I can not recommend buy any Samsung product . +399 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this be a really good system for someone on a budget . the player itself be pretty easy to set up and be quite user friendly . the Dolby Digital output be very clean , especially on dvd . the audio be a little low for movie but I have never have to go past the middle volume setting . it be sound be great for bedroom or other small room . I do not know if 30 watt per channel be enough for larger room like live room or den . the video output be also good . it come with setting and hookup for s-video and component . the reciever be pretty standard overall but for under ... you could do alot worse . the speaker wire be also pretty long so you 'll have some extra to use in case you have to spread those speaker out . the only thing I do not like about it be the changer do take a while to load new disc and the radio pickup on the reciever seem a little weak . but that be really not that bad and it be a great system for people on a budget or if it be you first home theater system . +231 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this Sony home theater system produce a pretty good sound for the dvd I watch . it be amazingly easy to set up and overall , I be please with it . the only downside for I be that it be suppose to provide the same surround sound to tv broadcast , too . what they do not tell you , however , be that it only do so if you have cable or satellite service . the regular , `` over-the-air '' channel will not be transmit in the surround mode . if it do , I would be totally happy with the system . +462 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 the default password mention in the instruction book which come with this product give the INCORRECT code of 2001 . the CORRECT , permanent , hard-coded , will-always-work password be 3308 . the problem be that the default for the parental lock be ON . and there be many movie you can not watch without unlock the parental lock . then , when you look up how to turn it off in the instruction , the wrong code be give . after call tech support I learn that this be a mistake in the instruction and that the correct default code be 3308 . +106 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I get this system not quite a year ago and in recent month it do not properly record time program at all . the unit fail during recording , and if the recording be complete , it will not finalize the disc and error message be display that be not print in the manual . prerecord movie play beautifully , but the sound from the rear surround be soft to non-existant , and it do not have auto resume . my first theater in a box be a Panasonic and I love it , but I want to be able to record and I now regret this purchase , it be a mistake . +948 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 for the price a good deal . could have better instruction . we do have some problem try to figure out how to get it connect to more than just the tv . also would have be nice to know you require hmdus cable . have to go out and buy they after we receive the unit +530 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I go to Fry 's to shop for a sound bar - the wife didnt want 13 different speaker and all of the wire . fry 's be a good place to compare item but rarely have the best price . after listen to the Boston Acustic , Bose -lrb- which sound better but be not compatable with a lot of system -rrb- Sony , and Panasonics . some have a low end buzz , a couple sound plasticy , some have no bass . the only way the Yamaha system could be better be that if it have a blu-ray player build in - and why cant it ???? my Samsung tv would not conect to the Yamaha thru the supply cable so I have to get a fiber cable to connect - the tv 's problem - not Yamaha 's . over all I be very happy with the sound quaility . it will shake the window at the begining of Transformers 2 . the bonus to get this at Amazon be that it be on sale , no tax and free shipping - save about $ 100 over Fry 's . +201 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this be nice product huh : -rrb- +469 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 we have a small entertainment center and have be use a older stereo system to boost up the volume for we flat screen because it be pretty quiet like most tv that style . we want some more bass , but nothing over the top . after hook this up , the sound be ok . the extra bass be nice , and during louder part it sound great , but do not do well with dialogue\/quieter part . it be basically just a step up from the stereo system we have go before . it do not have a AUX input either , which be kind of annoying . +643 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 boy be I dupe . I search and search to find a surround sound system that be both wireless and affordable , and I would think I would find just the one . I read the description : ` wireless rear speaker ' . ok , I would prefer all the speaker to be wireless , but on a budget I guess I can live with that . so , I make the purchase and it arrive in the mail . I open up the manual to set it up , and I notice not only be there a wire for EVERY speaker , but there be even a additional rear wireless receiver box about the size of a PlayStation 2 that have to either be mount on the wall or place on a shelf , with wire run from it to each rear speaker -lrb- oh , and the receiver have to be near a power outlet , so there be yet another cord you have to deal with -rrb- . this be totally ridiculous ; it be even more obtrusive than if I just have wire run to every corner of the room from the main unit . what be the point ? there be nothing wireless about this system . I have not even test the sound quality , so I can not speak to that . I be just so upset at have be hoodwink into buy a `` wirele '' product that be even more wireful than my previous non-wireless system that I have to submit this review immediately to keep anyone else from make the same mistake . hopefully , I can return this item without too much of a hassle . +274 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 if you goal be to get good sound for you home theater without drop big buck , take a look at this unit . grant , a subwoofer of this size with only 50 watt can not compete with a big system , but if you want deep bass , be prepare to pay a whole lot more . it sound to I like this system put out a decent level and taughtness of bass down to about 50 hz and could play fairly dynamically up to 90 or 95 db . above that level , the system sound compress and the smoothness of the midrange go away . but at a reasonable volume level , the mid be well reproduce and smooth . the control have adequate sensitivity to allow you to set equalization and surround effect to match you taste for a wide variety of movie soundtrack . this be a bargain . +890 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 this product work well for a year . now the dvd drive be dead . I wish I have spend more money on a better quality system . I purchase this product base on review on Amazon.com . $ 220 down the tube . +941 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 it look like it would be so easy but when I go to hook it up to my relatively new tv it do not work . now I have to re-package everything and send it back : - -lrb- +682 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 System work great right out of the box . it have many feature that I do not expect for the price . I use this system as a upgrade in my motorhome . +509 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 just like a previous reviewer , R. Adams from Austin , I have have nothing but the very same problem with my Panasonic home theater . it be alarming to hear that he have have the same lack of customer service from Panasonic that I have experience . since day # 1 , I experience major problem with it . after nearly five hour of disassemble my old speaker and put this one together , I begin to test it with a dvd . within minute , the sound shut off altogether . the movie still play , but the volume be nonexistant . I go over everything again ... everything ... and try again . same problem . I have to turn the unit off and then on again , and the volume be back , but it happen repeatedly . it become almost comical ; you buy something like this to upgrade you movie-watching experience , and instead , it turn what little leisure time my family be afford into misery , and I be honesty not exaggerate . I have try contact Panasonic four time regard this issue ; the first time , they tell I to take the entire system apart , make sure none of the wire be fray , and put it back together again . it have take I hour to put the thing together to begin with , and I would already do exactly what they have say to do , but still , I move furniture , trace all the wire to make sure they be fine and unfrayed , and put everything together again . still , nothing . I watch `` Phantom of the Opera '' one night just to see how often the sound cut out ... it take almost four and a half hour to watch the movie , and I have to re-start the theater a mind-blowing 214 time . Panasonic never respond to any of my further inquiry . evidently , the have steal my money and that be good enough for they . I will never buy any Panasonic product again , almost entirely base on he way Panasonic fail to address the problem . I feel rob . +347 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I have be to alot of football and Basketball Party 's and have surround sound be a ver big requirment to add on to the fun . i ` be a minor -lrb- 17 -rrb- , but i enjoy go to my friend house to see what Home Theater system -lrb- h.t.s. -rrb- they or they parent have and most of they be Sony or Panasonic . interest in purchase a H.T.S. for my room , i choose this item for video game , dvd movie and music purpose . be that i be on a short budget ... i want something not cheap but in my range , so i can still have enough money to get the New Jordans , i believe this item have a good range of feature as the Dolby Digital , DTS , and Dolby pro Logic surround decoding , a 5-piece speaker system , and a subwoofer for deep bass . all these feature blow my mind as a first time buyer , so if any of you first time buyer who be low on budget and want or need a home theater for any purpose , i would recommend this to any and everyone -lrb- then later on when you think you have grow out of this item i would recommend Sony 's `` dream machine '' -rrb- . +669 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I buy this item by amazon deliver in USA . I live in south america . . so , when I have connect to my Sony google tv -lrb- 15 day after -rrb- everything start look perfectly , but then i see that the bass be not work . and still not work . +504 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 Desde hace un tiempo deseaba un equipo asi , I encanto , sumamente complacida y llego en un tiempo record , volveria a comprarlo de ser necesario +906 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 ok so youre look for a home theater system to top off you big screen , dvd and whatever else you have and you think to you self the only way to get a nice sound and high volume be to get bose speaker and a 700 watt 7.1 system well youre wrong see this be the cheapest price home theater system ive ever see or hear that doesnt suck its great ill tell you this , this system be gonna give bose a run for its money it acctually sound better than bose -lrb- just my opinion though -rrb- but ill tell you the subwoofer isnt much for super large room mainly because its passive -lrb- not power -rrb- but i get to the store after i see it in a magazine not expect much and turn it on go through the menu to turn it to my sound preference and it blow I away +305 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be a amazing system for the price it be sell . I buy one for my small tv lounge and get surprise to its deep bass and its powerful satellite box . it be fully feature satisfy to all you need for a simple ht . there be 2 optical input , one for the dvd and the other one for either a CD changer or a MD. . simply AMAZING . +262 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I have have this product for two week now and I can not get the center and surround speaker to play . they calibrate fine , the sound check be also fine but they do not work during normal operation . +812 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 well , I suppose I be pretty fortunate ... I buy one of these system for my parent . since they be not audiophile and just want a basic dvd system and something to replace they old stereo -lrb- complete with 8 track -rrb- , this sound like the ideal system . Theirs last for almost 2 year before succumb to the `` WELCOME SCREEN of DEATH '' . I sure hope someone find a fix for this thing . if I find anything I 'll let you all know . also , have anyone else notice that some of the capacitor in the power supply look `` leaky '' . perhaps the power supply be the root of the problem ?! +652 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 Works great !!! I have a bigger living room its pretty open sound great I have it connect to my cable box and my xbox 360 it sound great speaker wire be just the right length . you do have to set the level of the speaker to how you like they everytime you turn it on but its simple with the remote -lrb- include -rrb- can not beat it for the price worth every penny = -rrb- +741 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 where to start ? I will do some pro and con pro : cheap price - good ss this thing for only be 200 watt have great sound . dvd player with its up convert make regular dvd great , almost blue Ray in look . the AM FM tuner work great , no trouble at all . once it be all hook up , my PS3 have awesome surround sound . just switch over to AUX - same setting as you tv and boom good to go . con : only con I can say be that the sub be a bit weak . and the wire could be a bit longer , but easy fix . buy speaker wire ... and cut to the length you need . all in all . this be just a great starter surround sound , for a great and cheap price . I would recommend people on a budget to buy this and not think twice . I love it myself . Dynex dx-htib 200w 5.1 ch dvd home Theater System +122 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I give the Panasonic Home Theater Audio System model sc-htb15 5 star . I have it hook up to a flat screen , blue ray , and game system . when turn on the sound come through and when off the sound come through the tv like normal , no button to push . I use the optical digital audio in terminal from the tv to the theater system . I then use a hdmus from blue ray and PS3 to system , hdmus out to tv . hook it up be very easy . speaker can be vertical or horizontal , hook together or separate , on wall or stand or foot , you choice . Subwoofer sit to either side . remote be basic on\/off , tv\/hdmi input selector , subwoofer + \/ - , volume + \/ - and mute . I must note my Samsung control also work with the theater system , which allow I one control use for less clutter . there be control on the sub woofer also . it have a nice clear sound and get louder then I will ever need . there be sound now hear in video game I never know be there , like you enemy in the grass , or glass shatter in the distance , it be fantastic . Blue ray movie be better then the theater . I would recommend to anyone want a simple , easy to use system for full sound without tweaking . you have multus channel mode , auto mode -lrb- direct mode -rrb- and 2-channel mode . +751 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I purchase this unit Jan 2012 and thus far I have be very pleased with the purchase . Yamaha recently release the 401bl system and Amazon have it discount almost 50 % so it be a real bargain at just over $ 300 . I have previously own a Phillips -lrb- sorry I do not have the model info any longer -rrb- and VIZIO vht510 system and neither one compare with the sound quality of the Yamaha yht-s400bl . after the first two , suffice it to say that the wife be not thrill with another sound bar , but after she hear it she have agree it be very nice . the UniVolume mode be also a very nice feature and do a tremendous job of tone down the blare commercial . the CEC functionality be not fully functional with my older sharp flatscreen -lrb- tv be to blame not the Yamaha -rrb- but it do work with with my newer Samsung Blueray player . con : after a month of use , there have be one occurrence where a picture be not be display through the unit . I end up have to apply a Windows fix - unplug from the outlet and plug it back in . note : the Receiver\/Subwoofer unit be pretty deep , it just barely fit into the cabinet that we have . this be a buyer beware , look at the measurement closely if you have a shelf\/cabinet you be put it into . +275 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 from what I can tell the speaker and receiver seem well engineer with a nice feature set , but there be a ridiculous flaw in the design of what connect they . the receptacle on the back of the receiver that receive the speaker cable be proprietary . each pair of speaker wire be attach to a special plug that fit into one of these receptacle . with regard to the speaker proper , if one want to extend a speaker wire , one presumably have to splice -lrb- use electrical tape and soldering or twist I guess -rrb- speaker wire to the naked speaker end of the speaker cable . or , one can go to ebay and spend a small fortune on new cable with the weird 4.2 mm connector , which weird connector you pay excessively for , obviously . but the situation with the subwoofer be even more hopeless . the speaker cable to the subwoofer be permanently attach to the subwoofer . and it look just as cheaply make as the other speaker wire -lrb- thin and from they color I be guess aluminum -rrb- and be too short -lrb- ~ 10 ' -rrb- to go from immediately above the television straight across half the television straight down to the floor straight forwards to the front of we cabinet and immediately back to the wall . there be no way to take a connector off and reuse it . one be absolutely force it seem to either cut the speaker wire in two and use two pair of splice or remove the connector and buy a new one attach to a wire and splice both wire once after remove the connector . the male -lrb- ? -rrb- connector be not something one can reuse by put simple wire in it . the wire to form a connection with the plug each have special tricked-up -lrb- female -rrb- sleeve crimped on they end -lrb- with a metal tab one can press to remove the wire and sleeve from the connector -rrb- . I do not think one can buy connector to fit on the end of wire directly . one can buy universal 4.2 mm -lrb- ? -rrb- connector attach to speaker wire and splice , but I do not believe there be make any kind of extension cord with a female receptacle on one end -lrb- a third party make universal 4.2 mm male -lrb- ? -rrb- plug attack to wire , but I do not think they sell anything with female receptacle suitable for SONY speaker -rrb- . I think about use ugly inelegant splice -lrb- the surround speaker be too short to go to the side of we sofa via the wall -rrb- on the surround speaker and spending extra to buy a special speaker wire with a plug so I can put the subwoofer on the floor next to the wall right next to the cabinet -lrb- be that ask too much ? -rrb- , but I be really lock into either chop the subwoofer cable in two and splicing twice 2x or take the plug off and use the whole length of that cheap look speaker wire from the subwoofer -lrb- and buy a cable with the weird plug to splice to the end of it -rrb- . the engineering wiring mistake be so glaring and the wire look way too thin and cheap for the 165w the subwoofer be supposedly rate for -lrb- lower voltage to produce the same power mean higher current and higher heat than with higher voltage , so I be guess this be even worse than 165w table lamp plug into a -lrb- 120v -rrb- outlet -rrb- , and one can never tell maybe one day one might live with some crazy who want it crank up all the way , so I be frankly worry the wire might heat up so much as to start a fire . I be return the unit . +846 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 System be deliver over night . instruction be easy to follow . the only problem be you need to purchase a few cable not include . although the speaker wire include be thin it work fine . the one coxial cable include be extremly short so probably will not work for many set up . but we love the effect of the system . we be not gaget guru so it plenty of sound for we . the only thing that be a hurdle be get it to work with regular tv show . it only give instruction on how to hook it up to the dvd player or VCR , any other component you be on you own . +477 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 order on amazon.com , for way less than anywhere else i could find it . same price at local `` best buy '' as the model below , the fc7 . for I , im not a expert , the sound be great , i have a bose system before this and it sound way better that that . install easily but 3 minor grumble . 1 . the surround sound cable be not long enough have to go buy some more . 2 . Doesnt come with Wall mount for the surround sound , why ?! seem like most people have surround speaker in the ceiling or on the wall . 3 . cant connect my Dish Receiver video out through the same video out as the dvd , so i have to switch both the tv and the receiver . no idea why , just wil live with it . anyway i like sony product be now look for a plasma screen to go with it ! happy listening +321 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 buy this product last month and it have be work out really great . all cool feature and easy set up . only thing be Wireless Internet do not go well with g router so I end up have wire connection and it be work flawlessly since then . Netflix , Youtube , Pandora etc. . . work wonderfully . about wireless speaker they be still wire but not connect directly to the main speaker . so you do not need to run the wire through the room but still rear speaker need to be connect to the device which will communicate to the Blu ray player . so far,s-air be work out good . I be yet to test 3d . will update comment once I get it test . overall , great product , great feature and great price . +841 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 not a big reviewer guy , but after read all the negative review on this item , figure it be my responsibility . the Vizio surround system be awesome . amazing sound from a center bar , sub and satellite . I be honestly amaze you can pay less than 500 buck for something that plug into you tv , no amp , no receiver , and it sound this good . watch the world series sound like I be sit in the stand . there be even a drunk guy over my right shoulder yell `` let 's go Rangers . '' maybe other have older model before they fix the led or whatever , but this thing be awesome . +880 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 we have have several different type of home theater system and this one have have the best sound , easy to use . +158 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I purchase this after a lot of shop around . this be mean to get some cheap surround sound into my bedroom without hugely intrusive speaker . have over $ 10,0000 vest in my den entertainment center , I be not expect much at this price . I have to say , I be quite impressed . no , it do not compare to my home theater setup , but it do sound very , very good . far better than I expect it to . the sound be clear , you can raise it to a `` decent '' volume -lrb- I would not buy this if you be go to always crank it , because something may go in that case -rrb- , and the speaker be small and non-intrusive . I would recommend this to anyone that be look for a bedroom surround system or someone that will not be blast it at full volume at all time . +218 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 this be my first home theater system . I read the review and purchase the Koss c220 with a good idea of what to expect . the audio output be excellent ... the best my ear have ever listen to . the subwoofer have the capability to vibrate my hardwood floor and window , but I rarely keep it that loud . the con ... the on-screen display -lrb- osd -rrb- be not very user-friendly . you just see a row of icon on the screen , and it be not obvious what they control . Scroll all the way to the right , and more mysterious icon appear . the same go for the remote . this unit definitely have a learning curve . I think Koss -lrb- or whoever design the system -rrb- use icon so the same unit could be ship to any country and not have to change the OSD depend on the language speak there . the elapsed time be display on the front of the unit , and can not be display on the screen which be unfortunate . as other have mention , the unit be a bit temperamental depend on what you want to do . you must be in the dvd mode to insert or eject a dvd . to configure the audio , you have to be in dvd mode with no dvd in the drive . to set the clock on the display , you have to be tune into one of the two a\/v tuner . I have to dig out the manual every time to figure out which mode to be in and icon to press everytime I need to configure something . the dvd player seem overly sensitive to any scratch on dvd , cd-r , and cd-rw . the dvd player on my computer have no problem read the same cd and dvd . the speaker wire be plenty long for my small living room . the dvd unit be relatively heavy and barely slide into the shelf in my entertainment center . after use the c220 for 6 month , the CD tray need a little help go in and out . oh well , I mostly watch tv anyway . I purchase a display unit , so I do not have much money invest in it . overall , it be a excellent starter home theater system , and now I have a good idea what to look for when I upgrade . +811 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this be my first home theater system and it sound great . it be easy to set up and connect the speaker . the reciver be limit on its feature but it sound great when watch suround movie . the only drawback be the system do not sound good when listen to just music . +964 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I live in a one bedroom apartment and this system be as powerful as I 'll ever need . I gamble on it because of the price , figure it would probably suck , but hope it would at least be a little better than my tv sound . I be wrong . it do not suck at all . it be actually pretty awesome . in fact it sound almost as good as my ex-roommate 's surround system which cost a couple hundred dollar more . I be a little worried when I open the box and see how tiny all the speaker be , but they produce very big sound for they size . anyone who want thundering bass that will rattle the wall should definitely look elsewhere but if you be live in a apartment , this unit should be more than sufficient for you need . it sound absolutely great for what it be - a budget price surround system . I do not understand the people who have mention need to augment these speaker with they tv sound . I think that they must have the speaker hook up wrong or have the individual channel -lrb- front , center , sub-woofer and rear -rrb- turn down , so the master volume be not give they what they need . I can only turn the volume up about half-way before I start to worry about my neighbor , so I be clearly get something different out of my set-up . I do not think I be just be overly courteous either - at full volume , with the door close , the system can be hear fairly easily from the courtyard\/hallway outside of my apartment . with the standard setting , the rear channel be a little quiet for my taste , but since there be individual control for the different channel , it be very easy to adjust . the biggest problem with the system be that there be only two composite input and one front face `` line-in '' portable audio input . that mean no hdmus , component or ir input and if you want to hook up more than two device , you be go to need a separate switcher . the higher end input be not a big deal for I . I have already state that I live in a apartment and must be courteous with my volume . hdmus , component , or IR would allow for much better fidelity with a system that really crank , but with my personal need in mind , the two composite input be just fine . besides , how much do you expect for $ 56 ? in summary ; this system be amazing for the price . Perfect for apartment , den , etc. . there be some limitation and it may not be the right system for you if you be live in a big house , but it definitely exceed what I expect to get from it . + price . ca not be beat . + Compact size - perfect for a apartment + good sound and pretty loud for such a compact system - again , perfect for small to mid-sized apartment . + remote with individual channel control . this be very handy and not available in the other unit I see in this price range . + Audio device port be a nice bonus - Bass be less than thunderous - limited input - probably not appropriate for large room in large house +499 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I have be very happy with this setup -lrb- for the money -rrb- with the exception of a out of sync issue when change from one digital channel to another on by cable stb . I have to change the channel on my box to one of the channel in the analog spectrum -lrb- 1-78 -rrb- then switch back to the `` digital '' channel to sync the audio and video back up . annoying and frustrating . this be not the fault of my stb because I do not have the problem unless the receiver be in the mix . +51 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I have have this soundbar for almost a month now and want to spend a good amount of time listen to it before I write up a review . for the price this be a awesome soundbar . the setup be easy and quick ; for some reason I expect the subwoofer to be wireless too , but no biggie . the soundbar itself be a-lot smaller than I have initially expect , I know it be thin but I do not expect it to be that thin . the sound that come out of those small driver be bigger than I expect too . the subwoofer + receiver be nice and convenient but do not plan on expand you sound system with it . the subwoofer and soundbar be paired nicely , the bass be generally where it should be . I have have a Sony home-theater-in-a-box which have bass that be muddy and overwhelming , this be a pleasant change . the subwoofer level be adjustable too which be very convenient for movie . tv : compare to tinny sound tv speaker , this do a awesome job . there be a big spectrum of sound tv speaker just can not produce and this Yamaha setup do a good job of fill that in . the sound be good , voice can be a little nasal sound but it be not super noticeable . the Uni-Volume feature be a big plus , it crunch some of the dynamic range but work as intend keep the commercial at the same volume as the show you be watch . movie : in term of immerse you into the movie , this system do a good job . I use the Extended Stereo mode which the make the sound more room filling -lrb- work well for tv too -rrb- . however I do not use the Surround Sound mode , you need a small living room with wall relatively close to the soundbar for this to really work at all . I try it but thanks to the wall be so far away the sound be scatter and not well image . music : this be a little bit disappointing , I be expect music to perform as well as tv or movie do but it just do not . I listen to elbow 's album `` the seldom see kid '' and immediately notice a lack of clarity and imagery in the sound . there need to be more instrument separation and overall just more definition . I be expect it to be a little bit better than it be . but this come from someone who own a pair of Sennheiser HD650s and have a pair of swan m200mkiii for he computer audio setup , if you be not a audiophile you will not notice . conclusion : for a quick and easy home theater setup , this do a pretty good job . there be nothing that it really do not do well , music be a little disappointing but it still do alright . however this system can not defeat the law of physics ... even though the sound be room filling , you can still tell it be come from tiny speaker . if you have a big living room , do not expect this soundbar to do that well , you need BIG speaker for BIG and FULL SOUND . a pair of floorstander or bookshelf speaker will do much better , even if you have a small living room . for a soundbar though , this be a nice setup from Yamaha . +464 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 extremely please with the performance of the Polk CS175i center channel speaker . very crisp , clean , full sound and a great bargain . +494 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I have the apex HT-100W Home theater system and it work great ! the people above be complain about surround sound support when the most likely do not set it up correctly . the surround sound output or digital audio out put have to first be enable through a onscreen menu before you hook the device up . if you check the manual it provide easy instruction on how to do so . I have always love apex and use they for all my electronic need , from tv 's to dvd player . I be about to buy another for my bedroom and look at the price of this thing ! I would pay big money for it and think it be a good deal ! buy this product ! +877 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 we have have this for a year and it create a nice surround sound system . however , it try to default to the dvd each time you put it on and turn on the tv ; I have to reset it to the speaker for tv even if it be on that when I turn the tv off . sometimes it have to be set two or 3 time before it stay on that setting . very annoying ; be hope it would integrate better with my Panasonic tv . +650 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I must admit that I be frustrate at first with this system . I have a Samsung 46 '' lcd tv and a samsung blu ray player also , so try to put all of this together along with my cable box be no fun . only after call Samsung for assistance be I able to finally configure everything . but once it be all together , I be pleasantly surprise . the sound be amazing . you hear every sound in detail , and the explosion be awesome , especially in action movie . I be also very happy that I purchase this system from amazon when I do , because now it be a $ 100 more than when I purchase it . even so , I would still buy it because it be worth it . +336 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 overall this be a good sound system for the price . the rear speaker wire be definitely not long enough , you will have to buy longer one . we have a small apartment and still the wire do not even come close to reach unless they be stretch across the middle of the room . that be pretty much my only complaint . +112 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I buy this for my husband about 4-5 year ago and he still absolutely love it . Whenever we play a movie surround sound action sequence he still say , `` man , I love we sound system ! '' so worth the money ! +496 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be the first home theater system that I own . it have excellent sound and work great . its better than a lot of newer one that i have see . +186 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I buy this speaker system for use with a Sony a\/v receiver and a Sony Bravia tv . the system be well packed and arrive undamaged . I have only minor complaint . one : the conductor in the include speaker wire -lrb- nicely strip and tin -rrb- be thin and flimsy - connect they to the speaker be tricky , and banana plug be need to get they connect to the receiver . the connector on the leave , right , and center channel speaker be clip and give the thin conductor it be easy to accidentally disconnect a speaker wire when install the left and right speaker on they -lrb- include -rrb- stand . the way the include stand be construct , it would be nearly impossible to upgrade to thicker speaker cable . those minor quibble aside , assembly and setup be fairly easy and the sound be a huge improvement over the speaker build into the tv . +804 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this surround sound have great sound and be very easy to install , and consider the price versus one of the more expensive one with dvd or bluray player ... you be really better off with this one ! for starter most people already have one of these player or console in they home so to go through the expense of pay 300 to 500 and sometimes more be ridiculous ! for one you can just run the audio cord to you tv to get all extra sound for anything you have hook for it ... it be not necessary to buy the adapter for the hdmus cord ! why buy the adapter when you can , like I say , just run the cord to you tv . I love the sound it generate and it be a space saver ! I have a older model that be just too bulky and take up too much of what space I do have for it . . which trust I be very little . the only thing I would say I have prob with be the fact that the remote be so small and easy to loose ! +575 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I buy this from Crutchfield in December of 2003 for $ 450 and to this day the machine itself have never malfunction on I -lrb- see below about the speaker -rrb- . since I buy this system I have move six time - 4 of which be short distance by truck , but 2 of they be via trans-pacific shipping -lrb- to China and back -rrb- . while in China I have to use a transformer due to different voltage . so this machine have really hold up ! except for the speaker . one of they start to have a bit of rattle about 4 year ago . I purchase a additional pair from eBay , so I replace the bad one , leave myself with a spare . a few month ago , another go bad . the spare replace it . but now yet another go bad . -lrb- I be begin to wonder should I just buy speaker from a different brand , or should I buy a new system ? I be inclined to the former , but I wonder if the output from this system be `` flat '' or pre-equalized like some bose system be ? -rrb- like the other recent reviewer , I use the optical input of the system a lot . I have it hook up to my plasma tv , which output digital audio via the optical toslink . it be really nice that the dav-fc7 automatically recognize the source as mono , stereo , or Dolby Surround depend on the program on tv ! all in all I have be really satisfied . if only the speaker be more robust ! -lrb- I also rate the sound quality as 4 star , but not because of the rattle problem . when the speaker function normally , the sound be very good . but I have a brother who be a audiophile so I know what really expensive speaker sound like and I must say this be just a tad below perfect sound . but for the price I can not complain . -rrb- +64 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 the sound quality be fine , and I think it be fairly straightforward , but I do not understand how they do not have a digital audio input , which most high-end tv have . instead , you have to use analog sound , which not only defeat the point but require a converter . it be just a bummer if you be hope to make this a surround sound system for you tv . +17 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 11 Dec 11 very good sound . I have have it a few month hooked-up via hdmus to a new 55in Sony Bravia KDL55EX720 HDTV . both work fine right out of the box . do not need the Sony firmware download to make the bd player work . hook it up to the internet via my wifus router and to we 64-bit Windows 7 laptop via the dnlum capability . only problem so far be the remote . the button that open the bluray tray quit work so I just use the button on the receiver . also the 970 be hooked-up to a Directv HR24-100 HDTV receiver via Sony tv hdmi sound feed back capability . 4-star because the remote have a flaw . +630 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 the only reason I do not purchase the scht-80 be because it would not read audio cd-r 's . I wait for the the scht-70 and have have it for a week , its a fantastic compact system with the same feature as the scht-80 plus the ability to play cd-r 's . dt support be a bit confusing because some advertising I read say it support DTS however in the manual it state it do not , and I have not have any dvd 's with dt to test it . its not a problem as the Dolby Digital sound be amazing consider the size of the speaker . there be not much difference in the SFC -lrb- Sound Field Control -rrb- setting as a reviewer of the scht-80 find and the speaker be still hard wire but with plenty of length to get to the back of the room . overall a terrific system that I would recommend to anyone , well do Panasonic . +40 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 not a bad system , but beware if you be look to process Dolby 5.1 from a satellite system through this product . the aux-in only pass analog Dolby Pro-Logic . Dolby Digital sound great from dvd source , unfortunately the engineering folk decide for whatever reason not to include a input -lrb- or two -rrb- for 5.1 outboard source . +311 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 First of all , I love this product and can highly recommend it . now , drill down to detail : we want to put we flatscreen on the opposite side of the living room but there be no cable outlet , so we have att come out to install a additional outlet . well , they say it be not possible because that be a support wall and there be no way to drop the cable down through it ... however , att now have a wireless u-verse cable decoder box that can go anywhere in you house . that be very cool right ? the problem be that with my normal -lrb- sony -rrb- television audio speaker that new wireless box cause a delay of a few micro-seconds between what the person on the screen be say vs. the sound come out of the tv 's speaker . I research all manner of way to solve this problem and I find out that the Yamaha YHT-S400 have a `` lip Sync Technology '' that automatically catch and correct this problem . I be a little skeptical that it would actually work until I plug it in and presto - problem solve . aside from that , the sound quality be excellent and get plenty loud for a good size living room - even when you have the rumble of 25 people over for the big game - all talk and laugh . sure , you can find cheaper sound bar but you get what you pay for and this be a great one for a fairly reasonable price in my opinion . +378 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I buy this on SALE for $ 150 and it be a great value ! at 100 watt , it wo not blow away the neighbor , BUT deliver excellent sound , ESPECIALLY when play dvd 's with thx or dt sound . picture quality be excellent - especially with flat screen tv . I have not add a woofer yet , BUT will soon . I do not want all the speaker that come with a conventional surround sound system , SO THIS WAS PERFECT . CD 's DO not SOUND QUITE AS GOOD - NOT ENOUGH DEPTH to the sound , BUT HOPEFULLY that will change with the addition of the woofer . +780 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 order on 07\/06\/2011 , deliver on 07\/11\/2011 via up . cost I $ 337.08 to my door . I originally purchase the VIZIO VSB210WS Universal HD Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer from wally mart store for $ 295 -lrb- good system too -rrb- but for $ 42.00 more I decide to upgrade to this system and bring the other back to wally mart . glad I do . connect the bar to my new VIZIO xvt3d474sv 47-inch full hd 3d full array truled with Smart Dimming lcd hdtv 480 hz sp with VIZIO Internet Apps TV very easily via the 6 ' Toslink Digital Optical Audio Cable -lrb- not include -rrb- . you can buy they on here for a few buck . after everything be connect I be not get sound to my two rear speaker , so I go into the tv menu and play around with the audio setting and BINGO rear sound . to complete my set-up I order a pair of Atlantic Satellite 77305018 2 Speaker stand to mount the rear speaker on . the 20 ' of speaker wire on each speaker let I place the stand right where I want they for the best surround sound in my room . the remote control be kewl as it slide out so I can fine tune my audio setting . all Led light be work and I hope it stay that way . Time to jump off here and watch a movie via Amazon Instant Video . Vizio have some good look packaging , good pricing and the chick on the box be a hottie . Update : Led Lights still work so far , the light , more like arrow look kewl . I be very happy with my purchase and even if the light stop work , no big deal , as all I really need to do now be use the volume button . they be always better and worse product to buy , nothing be ever perfect , too many people complain about the littlest stuff . this sound system sound good and be way better than listen to the two speaker build into the tv . for the price , this thing rock , do not like it , take it back and spend a lot more money on something else , and you will probably complain about that system too . Life to short , hook the Sh & \* & ^ % up and enjoy it . +266 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 we purchase this system to consolidate we component -lrb- tuner , VCR , CD player -rrb- since we want to add dvd to the mix . the sound be great . they setup be very easy . perform as advertise . we hook it up with the cable\/vcr on input # 1 so that input # 2 could be use for the x-box and it work great ! Buttons on the remote be small , but that be just a observation . bottom line ? a great purchase ! +269 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I have own this system for 2 day now , after a month-long decisison make process . -lrb- ... -rrb- compare with some of the other model I look at , these be its strength : \* Compact , include dvd , VCR and FM\/AM Radio in one small unit . \* Plays a multitude of disc format -lrb- incl . dvd-a , VCD , and panasonic\/microsoft proprietary highmat disc -rrb- . -lrb- compare to the Zenith xbs344 and xbs245 , which only play dvd Video and CD Audio -rrb- . \* its output power be describe in the title . also , the sound quality and surround effect be , ahem , awesome . a few thing that do not quite appeal to I : \* no digital audio -lrb- 5.1 -rrb- input . -lrb- unlike the Zenith , or the Philips LX3750W wireless theater -rrb- . this mean that I can not get surround sound input from my Comcast HDTV converter . -lrb- but who watch tv these day anyway ? -rrb- \* with the dvd progressive scan enable , thin line , text , etc flicker a bit . it turn out that my Panasonic -lrb- CRT -rrb- hdtv in some way do a better job of de-interlace the standard -lrb- 480us -rrb- signal -lrb- whether through component or composite cable -rrb- than the unit do , despite the d - -rrb- a - -rrb- d - -rrb- a conversion . \* operate the unit -lrb- + the remote -rrb- be a bit cumbersome . for instance , to switch to the external sound input , you need to press the dvd\/vcr toggle button to VCR mode , change to channel 2 , then press ch - -lrb- channel down -rrb- . this be only the sound - you also need to switch you tv to the appropriate input source . basically , you need a good universal remote control - be sure to get one with plenty of macro capability , such as the one for All\/RadioShack Kameleon . and because the dvd\/vcr button be a toggle , you first need to press the fm\/am button , then dvd\/vcr , after which it always come back in VCR mode . -lrb- otoh , if you do not have a external input source such as a digital cable box , you can get by quite easily use this unit 's built-in tv tuner -rrb- . that say , with a good universal remote , this unit be a real , real good buy , even at the Amazon price . one thing to be aware of be that unlike most other , the subwoofer be the only speaker that be directly connect to the unit -lrb- via a 4m = ~ 13ft cable -rrb- ; the other speaker be wire to the subwoofer . the subwoofer require external power . +447 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 pro : good sound reproduction . number of digital connection -lrb- 2 Optical , 1 coaxial -rrb- . styling . con : limited remote functionality . -lrb- to store radio station information , the remote can not be use . Eventhough the button be lay out and mark with the same information -rrb- . Digital connection be much better than analog one . if you have a hdtv receiver and a dvd player , then use the Digital connection as they use 5.1 digital sound . many other htib with dvd player do not have Digital input . +343 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 this be a bargain price low-end 5.1 dvd receiver . I buy it for my girlfriend 's birthday present and she have be satisfy with it . the component be all fairly light-weight , the input be label clearly and it be a breeze to set up . this be the kind of piece that be appropriate for somebody who be look to replace a old stereo , NOT a serious audiophile . it doesnt have many bell and whistle , but it have input for you cable box and VCR , which be probably all you 'll be look to plug into it at this price range . as for the sound , it be best describe as adequate . the bass be shallow and unrefined , and the speaker be unremarkable as well , but you must keep in mind what you be buy . consider you first dvd player probably cost nearly as much as this unit , its a heck of a deal . my only real complaint be the remote . this be the only place that the system feel genuinely cheap . its thin and have hardly any differentiation in button size , so good luck even turn down the volume in the dark -lrb- yes , the volume button be the same size and shape as all the other -rrb- . bottom line , its worth the money . +525 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 ... actually buy one of these , and you should have see the look on she face when she come over to my house and hear a REAL home theater system ! I feel so sorry for she , I offer to come over to she house and check that all the connection be properly set up . well , I go and see that yes all the speaker cable be correctly put in . in fact , she have go out and use those gazillion dollar monster cable , poor thing -- she be always such a gullible , trust woman . but that be that : there simply be no way around the simple fact that for the outrageous amount she pay for this system , it produce barely mediocre sound . just lot of treble and some exaggerated bass , which would be okay if you only watch bang-bang-wham-bam-kaboom action movie . however , she love musical and drama -- which only expose the total scam that this overhyped and overpriced bose stuff really be . to they credit , bose do however honor they money-back policy which UPS and FedEx probably appreciate greatly . +818 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I buy the version of this system that do not include the VCR in May , 2005 , at a Radio Shack , not through Amazon . I spend five hour remove my old system and set this one up ; my old system be a Sony 5-disc dvd player hook up to a ten-year old receiver and four big stereo speaker . when I finally hook everything up , my wife and I sit down to watch we first movie on it , and within ten minute , the sound cut out altogether . I go through every section of documentation I have to learn about what the problem might be , and I go over every connection to every speaker . everything seem to be in order . except there be no sound at all . I turn the system off , turn it on again , and the sound be back ... for another ten minute . then it vanish once again . and this process happen many , many time . I contact Panasonic via e-mail and explain the problem in every detail I could imagine . I receive a response day later which say that I should remove all the wire from the speaker , check the wire for fray , make sure they be all insert into the correct slot , wait 15 minute , and try again . I do this , very carefully . then , that night , my wife invite she sister over to watch a movie . the sound cut out no fewer than 15 time , and I be humiliate . I write Panasonic back , and they do not respond . I have just write they a third time , and I feel compel to warn other about this system . I have hook up my Sony dvd player again , and I be listen to it through my television without any external speaker , and it be work perfectly . if I can somehow get Panasonic to reimburse I for the piece of junk I buy from they , I be go to do what I should have do to begin with ; buy one of the Sony system . they may be a couple -lrb- or even a few -rrb- hundred dollar more , but movie lover buy these system for they enjoyment , not to be frustrate . I would have give this product a zero if I could . it have be the most maddening purchase I have ever make . +827 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I buy mine at Costco a few week ago for $ 300 and now it be on here for $ 270 ! buy one now . this be a great unit for the money . Easy setup , the speaker be not too large and it be nicely design with a lot of option . I be not go to go into all the detail because other reviewer have already cover they . I actually work in sound and I be really please with this unit . Sony be always quality stuff . there be more than enough power here for you . and I love that i can plug in my Iphone and play my itune - man , it sound terrific . +817 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I take a little risk with this purchase because I be aware of the problem report with the LED light . I hope that this be a relatively old problem that have be address by now . so far the Vizio soundbar have perform flawlessly . the sound be excellent and the system be small , easy to set up and unobtrusive . I be confuse for a moment because of a error in the Quick Start Guide . step 5 say to connect the subwoofer use the ac adapter , but in the system I receive the adapter be for the soundbar . +375 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 for year I have be watch movie with the tv 's speaker -- which be mono . here 's why I pick this unit : \* Digital input . this be crucial . \* power subwoofer . \* 600w output . it be in a small room , but I want room to grow \* when I buy it , there be free shipping -- at 50-70 pound , surround system cost a ton to ship . i hook it up , and it sound incredible ! I be probably only use about a third of the power it can put out , but even so , explosion rock the house ... Dialog be crisp and music sound full and rich . setup be a breeze ; the wire be color code , and the manual get you up and run quickly . another bonus be the dvd player -- I already have one -lrb- a apex from Amazon -rrb- , but this be a great little unit . it put out beautiful progressive-scan picture . you can fast-forward at incredible speed -lrb- I think the top be 120x -rrb- . best of all , it have a 1.5 x ffw speed that play sound without distort it -lrb- it do not get high-pitched -rrb- . so if you be in a hurry maybe you could watch a dvd faster that way . : -rrb- all in all , a awesome unit . +853 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I purchase this unit at Walmart for $ 189.00 . know absolutely nothing about home theater system , I be a little wary of what I be get myself into . I originally want a system without a dvd player , since I already own one . however , after listen to the system at Walmart -- and because the RCA unit I really want be sell out -- I think `` what the heck '' and go ahead and buy it . I also purchase a s-video cable on the advice of the sale clerk , which turn out to be a good decision . my unit be the black one . the system be fairy easy to set up , even for a novice like I . I manage to get it wrong a few time , but after some experimentation -lrb- mainly with my cable box -rrb- I finally get all the cable in the right place -- and presto ! I have a great-sounding home theater system . my living room be about 20 x 18 , and this unit fill it up nicely with solid low and even high . I have not experience any hissing as another reviewer write about -- I wonder if he may have wire it incorrectly ? the downside to this system , like most in this price range , be that you be stick with the wire Philips give you . they permanently fix in the speaker , which make upgrade wire difficult . also , the subwoofer be passive -- so you can not control in separately other than with the remote . but it sound great in my opinion . I have digital cable , and be very pleased with how this system interpret the music station . the system `` max out '' when the volume hit 40 , and for a 700-watt system , it do not get as loud as I would have expect , bit it be still loud enough to impress friend and annoy the neighbor . I slide Star Wars Episode 3 in the dv drive , and I be blow away . it sound great , produce a deep rumble bass and clear vocal . -lrb- r2d2 have he own speaker , the left rear one -rrb- . all in all , this be a great system for the price . my thought be to upgrade to a more expensive unit when I get my tax refund , but I have reconsider . the hts3400d suit I just fine . +327 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I get this to add a little home Theater pizzaz to we small living room with 42 '' tv . setup be a pain because 1 -rrb- both rear speaker have the internal connector pull out . 2 -rrb- you may have to do something to you source to ensure that dd\/dts come through the optical connection . I have to dig thru the menu of my Sony Blu-Ray player to change the output from hdmus to optical . oddly , audio come out the optical port of the player at all time , but it be not dd\/dts until I make the change . now most of we have 2 source -lrb- cable\/sat box and blu-ray player -rrb- , so the Vizio really need 2 optical input . I confirm my Panasonic tv will not output dd\/dts on the optical port when use the hdmus input , so I can not use that as a switch . none of this be mention in the manual , which also do not have a diagram of the tiny unlabeled front light , so good luck on figure those out . and the manual mention mode call SRS TruSurround and SRS WOW , but do not explain they or when or why you might use they . note that dd\/dts can not be have with the analog stereo input ; make sure you source -lrb- s -rrb- have optical output if you want dd\/dts . that say , this system sound better than the cheap tv speaker -lrb- why do they make tv 's with gorgeous video , but awful audio ? -rrb- and look really spiffy . day 2 : all the button on top of the soundbar quit working . I can still control it with the remote . Stay tune . day 5 : Tech support try a black magic reset consist of remove the power , hold the power button down for one minute , then press each of the other button twice . do not help . but I can make the light go crazy by run my hand over the soundbar , so I think they have a static electricity issue , which likely kill the button . my impression be the Vizio marketing dept override the engineering dept and spend most of the money on the pretty box , but the innards be way too fragile and complicated for the intend use and user . VIZIO ADVICE : add another optical input and beef up the innards ! I will rewrite the manual for you at no charge . buyer advice : buy it locally so you can return\/exchange it easily . I get it on Amazon , so ship it back to they or Vizio be my only option . one month : unit expire . light but no sound . return to Amazon for refund . Life be too short for this nonsense . +535 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 after a month , the unit -lrb- sc-ht800v -rrb- would turn off as soon as I turn the unit on . after troubleshoot , unplug and replugg , I figure out it have something to do with the connection from the base unit to the subwoofer . since the all the speaker connector be on the subwoofer instead of the base unit , I have no speaker . the dvd and VHS will still work if I use the tv 's speaker . the tuner will not work unless connect to the sub , so no tuner . +603 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be my first home theater system so I can not really make a justified comparison with other system but as far as I can hear , the sound quality be very good , the thumping of the bass mixed very well with the satellite ... the additional feature , include Dolby pro Logic 2 that be still rare in this price range , be exceptional ... I do not know why people be complain about the remote control , I think the button be intuitively place and if you be like most people that 90 % use you rc to change channel and access menu , chance be in a month or so you would remember where the button be -lrb- and this also eliminate the complaint that say there be no control button on the dvd\/receiver it self ... let 's be honest nobody really get out of they couch to tamper with those button ... very few of we do -rrb- now the bad ... the sound output be limit to headphone plug ... and all the bad review that this system get ... in all the site that contain this system 's review almost 50 % complaint about fault within the first warranty year ... and the fact that you can not find ANY information on this system on Samsung website be a definite sign that this system be troublesome -lrb- it be a new system , while samsung have some older system still be support on they site -rrb- ... luckily so far I have no problem at all with my system so I guess when you decide to buy this system , even though it be a very good one for the price , in the end you really have to ask yourself if you be feel lucky : - -rrb- +988 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I be happy with my purchase and it do everything it be advertise to do . the sound be good and setup be easy . I like the fact that this unit have -lrb- 2 -rrb- Optical input , I connect one to my DirectTV unit and one to my Blueray player . I do find it a little troblesome to switch between the different function -lrb- AM , FM , Optical I & Optical II etc. etc. -rrb- , I have to press the '' radio - input '' button numerous time to get it to do something . however this be not a big problem . +287 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be a great system . sound from the speaker be incredible . have a Yamaha System before I pick this one up and it totally blow the Yamaha away . recently watch swordfish and some scene actually make my wall shake and the volume be not even at half . setup be simple ... do yourself a favor and get this system , you will not be sorry . +649 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this item be a great value for the price . the sound be very clear , and I can only turn it up to 3\/4 before it scare the dog . all-in-all , I feel that I get more than what I pay for . another plus -- the set up be very easy . +599 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 the system be all you would expect from bose , so I will not repeat all the accolade here . the elegant on-screen interface be terrific as it recognize every media form out there from Wii to AppleTv , Blu-Ray to VCR . BUT it do not recognize ... a ipod ? in order to listen to you ipod through the system , you be require to open the front panel of the bose control console and plug in red\/white rca jack from you ipod in order to `` fool '' the system in to play you music . even a bose ipod dock that plug right in to a mere Wave Radio will not work here . no , if you want a Bose Home Theater system that recognize you mp3 player , you 'll just have to cough up a extra $ 500 to $ 1200 for a v25 or v35 system . it be a bit frustrating to plug in you appletv and have the system read `` appletv '' only to then plug in you -lrb- esoteric , I guess -rrb- ipod and you $ 2000 sound system do not respond . Ugh . +265 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 no hassle to set up . . great sound for a small 2 bed apartment live room ... Perfect . . one can enjoy surround system without complaint from neighbor ... I recommend for a small house\/room ... it be ok to have just the dvd as I already have a PS3 ... look for blu ray aswell go for other stuff +252 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I be very impressed with the quality of the sound , and the speaker come with plenty of wire and be very easy to put together . they be also tiny ; you do not even notice where they be unless you be listen for they . the glow-in-the-dark remote be a good idea , although there be so many tiny button on it I have to put mark next to the one I use most often with a paint pen . I be use a switch-box with mine to hook up sound from two computer , a local antenna through a VCR and a satellite receiver through a VCR . all of they sound great , even route through the box . I have the satellite hook up directly to the receiver and there be no difference in sound quality between the direct line and the one through the VCR and switch-box . even the headphone option -lrb- standard 1\/8 stereo jack like on you portable device -rrb- sound great . the `` sound field '' option allow you to change the sound base on what type of movie , music or game you be listen to . I can make my own music sound live , and I make mine on a computer ! also , you have composite , component and s-video option to fit whatever type of tv and VCR you have . you can mix and match if you need to . it come with AM and FM antenna , but I do not listen to radio , so I have not try they . the dvd\/cd player be incorporate into the a\/v receiver , which save on space . I already have a dvd player , and could have spend ... less to get a similar Sony system with just a receiver , but this offer currently come with the promise of 5 free dvd 's ... however ... you do not find out until you get you confirmation email that the dvd 's be they choice , not yours . I believe they be : Crouching Tiger , Hidden Dragon Random Hearts the 6th day fool rush in , and vertical limit you do not even get to choose five out of a list of ten , or anything . that be it , take it or leave it . I be only interested in one of those movie , and I already own it . now if I redeem the rebate I 'll have to find someone who be interested in each of they to buy they , or sell they to we local `` use '' store -lrb- which be actually a half-hour drive for I -rrb- . in either case , I 'll be lucky to get -lrb- money -rrb- . if I have know there be no choice in the dvd 's , I probably would have go with the other system . the system itself deserve 5 star , but I have to subtract one for the misleading ad . that be just wrong . +570 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 pro : good sound , relatively easy setup con : for my home network , the wireless connection be not reliable . I have to switch to a wire connection use a Powerline connector from Netgear . also , have to buy a separate rocketfish rear wireless speaker unit to allow cord free rear speaker connection . lastly , if streaming hd program from Netflix , make sure you have at least at 5mbp download speed or you 'll be get a lot of buffering . +139 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 this unit have great sound and be well worth the price . I have no issue set it up or program it . connect to all my device with no issue . +554 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I buy this home theater system around 2 week back . after lot of research I narrow down to Panasonic and Onkyo . but due to my recent good experience with Panasonic product I go for this one . I do not want to spend more than 500 $ . this one cost I around 425 \/ - . the sound quality be very good and the speaker be very stylish . I hook the whole system in about 2 hr . the speaker wire that come with the system be 33 foot each for the surround sound speaker and should be good enough . I unecessarily buy the extra speaker cord and run short of the 50 foot wire that I buy and then only do I open the speaker wire which come default , should have open they first . the remote take some time to understand , but if you be savvy with electronic gadget it should not be a problem . you can hook up the digital cable and VCR player pretty easily -lrb- for this you may have to buy the cord -rrb- . I be pretty impressed with the sound quality from the digital cable I have , it sound better than my friend bose 3.2.1 system . the dvd player could play my home dvd 's which I burn on a dvd+r disc although the official manual say it play dvd - r disc . overall a good system for the price . I would recommend it if you be look for a sub 500 $ home theater system . +395 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 aside from see many of they at the 2011 CES Show in January , I recently spend several week research every detail of the 2011 Home Theatre Systems because I want the best one to mate with my new Samsung UN55D7000 3D HDTV . shortly I will be post my complete review of this product on epinion but until then , I 'll simply say that I make the right choice and Amazon have the BEST price anywhere ! +695 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I purchase this Sony htib to replace my 4 year old JVC htib -lrb- dvd -rrb- . I be look to upgrade to a Blu-Ray player and rear wireless speaker . I only have the system a week , but here be my initial thought . the packaging be very good , which I usually do not comment on . the wire be color code , so speaker setup be easy . I also love how the front speaker hide the wire . I just wish you could upgrade to standard speaker wire . I cant comment on the remote , since I have use a Logitech remote . Blu-Ray quality be awesome ; such a difference from dvd . some of the pro 's : `` Wireless '' speaker work very nicely , 2 hdmus input , ethernet connection -lrb- Netflix , you Tube , etc access -rrb- and the Sony menu\/options . con : slow to boot up . but , that can be adjust for more power consumption . the biggest negative be , even at 1000w it seem a little light on power . I contemplate return the unit . but , the lack of sound be mostly when watch tv . it seem when watch Blu-Ray , play video game , and listen to music its plenty of sound for I . another reason I do not return it be for the wireless speaker . the wireless speaker out there be expensive and have mix review . I would not feel confident they would work . plus , we all know purchase a component system would cost at least double of a htib . +580 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I buy my Streamium mx6000us a few month back and it just keep get better . I do not have any of the setup issue descibe by other owner -lrb- I have be in the computer field for over 14 year -rrb- . I think the setup be pretty straight forward -lrb- I only have to refer to the manual once -rrb- . New service and update be available on a regular basis . I create slideshow with picture take on my digital camera . my wife still like the 35mm camera so we can view those picture via Yahoo ! . my next purchase will be a philip flat-panel tv . +301 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I be cautious in purchase these speaker . I read how the led in the front stop work . other do not say but the led show the volume level as well as what setting you have so they be rather important . I have have the speaker for a couple week and the led still work . the sound be excellent . I be very pleased with this purchase so far . +474 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 when it work , the picture be very crisp but it frequently flicker and I loose the picture while maintain the sound . this have be happen since one month after I purchase this product . I have try use a lens cleaner and this do not solve the problem . +21 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 a amazing system , not only do it play dvd with progressive scan but it also play mp3 , vcd , svcd , cd , cd-r , and cd-rw . which be what any decent audio system should do . it can pick up radio signal . and the remote be rather easy to use . the sound be great , hook it up be a breeze . the player have a nice aesthetic to it as well . and the bass , you would not believe the beautiful bass this thing put out . I be still awestruck by the beautiful sound such a system could put out . sure , it be no where near the best , but for the price it be top of the line . +602 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be how a movie experience should be , and for such a small price . Easy to install , easy to operate , and the sound be magnificant . try watch Gladiator on this thing , and you 'll think you be in the middle of the fight ... or sink with the Titanic . all this in a very sexy box . one thing to watch for , the speaker have 5mm thread , so you 'll need to make sure to buy the correct size bracket if you want to hang the speaker . +563 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 well , I end up buy mine on closeout from Radio Shack for $ 149 . . I love mine ... the sound really be great , and the price be AWESOME ! I use mine for dvd 's , my tv 's regular sound for all tv I watch , and also as a tuner to listen to the radio \/ CD 's in surround sound . some buyer talk about a whine from the speaker ... I do not know if this help or not , but I will share - I have extra wire bundle up from the speaker and I do NOT put all that wire anywhere near the speaker or the head unit . I think that bundle of wire near a speaker might cause interference , so if you have that whine , make sure the extra wire be not near the equipment . Mine do not make any noise on standby , or skip at all either . I be very happy with mine . +729 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I love my sl speaker . make my home theater experience phenominal . the subwoofer be the size of a small cabinet . everything be crisp and clear . I work with sl speaker in the past and love em . high mid and low be very nice . consider how much I pay , I could have buy system 3 time as much and wouldnt have be half as nice . its a steal get it . +258 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 good sound for the price and I be overall happy with it . however , I be unaware when purchase this that the speaker connector on the receiver side be proprietary so I have to use the speaker wire that come with the system when I would have rather use the higher quality one that I already have . +172 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 when my boombox die , I decide to pick up a unit that could play music as well as dvd movie . I do not want to spend much and find this rca unit that seem to be exactly what I need , so I buy it and sell my exist dvd player to a relative . and it would be exactly what I need if it do in fact play dvd 's consistently . unfortunately , it do not , and there be no rhyme or reason to it either . sometimes it will play a scratch dvd just fine , while other time it will not even play a brand new dvd . like other have mention , I have notice that dialogue in movie -lrb- when it do play the dvd -rrb- be much quieter than music even if the sound logic feature be on . this unit play cd without any problem , and the sound quality seem pretty good -lrb- but maybe that be because my point of reference be a boom box -rrb- . sound quality for tv be also pretty good . however , the unreliability of the dvd playing ability be a huge deficiency , so I would not recommend that someone purchase this item . +503 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I buy this system from BestBuy for 330 $ and very happy so far . I notice some ppl say they be not able to play vcd but i be able to play they . + I configure the universal remote for my tv and I dont need to use my tv remote any more . + support mp3 with greate sound quality + VHS work perfect to - but i can not find some control I use to have with my old VCR like fintuning or set the picture quality -lrb- I may have to open the mannual or play with the remote more -rrb- + \/ - install be little complicated but I be able to do it without any technical help . - when I play any dvd screen try to balance the brighness aoutmatically -lrb- I be not sure it be by my tv or dvd but it be annoying -rrb- so screen keep change its brightness . - not intrest and funky lcd display or easy to use menu control unless you get use to it . over all I be happy so far +516 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 just purchase one this weekend . the system overall be really nice . it be easy to setup and the sound be really good . the only problem I have be that it be not as loud as I would have like . I put it in a very large room and the sound get lose with all the space . if you have a large room i would recommend at least a 1000watt system . but even in the large room it sound pretty good . I be not disappoint in my purchase . +758 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 we purchase the Sony Bravia home theater to go along with we new 40 '' sony hdtv . the sound and picture be phenominal , and the up convert be great , plus it have FM surround -lrb- a feature I be not aware of when I purchase it -rrb- . all this , and we only have to use one remote ! my family and I love it . thank you Ken K. +574 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 receive unit 3 day ago fully aware of led problem but willing to take a chance , especially after read that the led problem be `` fix '' . set up be a breeze , attach satellite to atlantic speaker stand -lrb- need to buy shorter screw to connect speaker - 12-1\/2 inch -rrb- and for one day everything be perfect . one day later , the famous led issue start to appear -lrb- arrow on display be begin to become erratic -rrb- and a few hour later the display die . wasnt sure if i want to go through the aggravation of disconnect and return the unit as it still sound great -lrb- true 5.1 -rrb- and what be the chance the next unit would work correctly ??? in any case , i decide to call vizio to let they know that they should correct this problem especially since it be so well know . the first person i speak to say it be `` rare '' - which i thought be funny and i ask to speak to a live tech-he proceed to tell I that they indeed be aware of the problem and it be correct . he advise I to return to vizio -lrb- not amazon -rrb- so that i would be assure of receive `` fresher stock '' in short , the return work this way ... u send vizio proff of purchase , they call you and put a hold for the amount of purchase on you credit card , send u a new one -lrb- along with a shipping label to send back the old box -rrb- , and u get the charge wipe out when they receive the defective unit . since i have all the wire clip to the wall and didnt want to redo , i be tell to just exchange the sub and soundbar with the new one -lrb- both have to go b\/c theyre `` paired '' at factory -rrb- and just leave everything else in box in wrapper . since i be tell problem have beed address , ill return -lrb- as i will have no `` down time '' and have nothing to lose -rrb- will update when new unit arrive +230 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 when consider buy a home theater or speaker set , Panasonic be not my first choice . in the end I decide to go for sc-htb15 mainly because it would probably go well with my Panasonic plasma tv . and it do . this 2.1 system be a big improvement over the built-in tv speaker ; sound feel deeper and richer . Panasonic vera-link work as advertise ; i can turn on\/off and adjust volume with my tv remote or cable remote . for $ 221 I think it be a worthy investment -lrb- most other major brand sound bar or 2.1 system run from 300 to some over 1000 -rrb- . some downside of this otherwise great product : 1 . htb15 require a hdmus , or a hdmus cable plus a optical cable if you tv do not support latest hdmi-arc feature . neither cable be include in the box , and I have to run off to nearby electronic store to find cable , which add another $ 40 to the total cost . 2 . the dialog clear mode work great , but I can not turn on\/off this feature on the control panel . this can only be operate through speaker remote . it would be great if I could access full function with my tv remote thru vera-link . 3 . I find that at low volume htb15 do not sound any better than built-in tv speaker ; I have to turn up the volume to at least mid range that the bass and depth of sound really come alive . +913 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I have have this system for about a week now and it sound pretty good . I be very impressed with the sound quality for a $ 300 system . I do have one complaint though . I can not figure out how to get it to play my tv in surround sound . it play the dvd 's in surround and its sound great , but when I put it on `` AUX '' for tv , it only play out of the front 2 speaker . +843 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 after a long review other product , this be the best , the price , the function and option be great . we connect the blue-ray -lrb- hdmus in -rrb- , set-top box -lrb- hdmus in -rrb- , netbook -lrb- hdmus in -rrb- and internet radio -lrb- logitech , via optical in -rrb- , and it work without any problem , video go to a lead tv , if you want to watch something -lrb- hdmus out -rrb- . the only thing to check be the installation of the three speaker box : one front soundbar -lrb- with 3 speaker , 3 cable -rrb- , 2 surround and 1 subwoofer , after finish it , and the hdmus connection be ready , all be ok , then , listen the best sound in a really small size +519 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I buy this just to make my tv sound better , and it sure do ... you can , t beat it for the price , I just add a sub , , , and it sound like I pay ton of money for a home theater system +13 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 the shipping for this system be very fast . the surround sound system itself work great . although not truly 5.1 surround sound , each speaker synthesize sound independently to mimic -lrb- very well -rrb- true surround sound . when I first get the system I think I would not be able to connect it to my tv since it only permit optical audio and line-in audio jack -lrb- for ipod and computer -rrb- . however I use a regular audio cable -lrb- for ipod -rrb- to connect my tv to the speaker and they be still able to synthesize the audio separately . Great for video game and movie , I could not be happier for the price I pay . +750 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 the sound quality of the Denon htib be really great and the receiver seem to be well build . the problem with this package be with the speaker . while sound quality be good , the speaker have a very strong odor which fill the entire house . they be construct of plywood and smell just like a sheet of plywood from the lumber yard . if you be sensitive to that sort of thing , that need to be a consideration in buy this system . I return it and end up buy a much better Denon receiver -lrb- avr-2112cus -rrb- and reuse my old speaker . +319 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I get this system through a incentive program at work . I figure the passive sub would be anemic so I also `` buy '' a altec lansing 4.1 with power sub at the same time to mix and match . the sound of this amphion with passive sub blow the power sub away . out of the box , it rock ... cd sound great ... dvd sound great ... big sound from a little system . it have AM and FM receiver with a lot of preset ... include antena for both band ... the progressive dvd player give excellent color saturation and clarity . I be not exaggerate , but it look so much better than my apex ad660 which still look so much better than videotape . I could not be happier with it and not just because it be `` free . '' I have not yet determine if it have official dt support - no dt insignia on the front , although the owner 's manual and setup screen mention dt setup mode ... it do pop up a little light diagram show 5 channel when I put in any Dolby digital and \/ or DTS dvd . I manage to screw up the setting to the point where it sound like a cardboard box ... and to the point where it overdrive the speaker ... but after a `` set default '' thing sound excellent again . there be several mode include `` concert , '' `` theater '' and the unintentionally hillarious `` bathroom '' setting . this be not a audiophile 's dream system , but it give very correct sound and video for the money and be the pinnacle of `` out of the box home theater . '' buy it , use it as it come out of the box and Rock On . +88 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 the first one that I order didnt work right , but Amazon quickly replace it . I get a new one in one day . +950 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 what can i say its awesome . I have a older panny commercial plasma which have no speaker . last week i fried my Samsung HT system -lrb- do not ask -rrb- which be the only audio out in my set up . do a quick web search for budget mind audio solution and be lean in sound bar direction , and than i stumble on this gem . feature set this thing provide will cover all my need for foreseeable future . tone of input and video output , ARC , and expendability to 3.1 or 5.1 be great . set up be quick and easy , it be up and run in 10min + another 10 for sound set up . the sound : now this be where i be go to rate it 4 star or even 3 star -lrb- i have to say i be a bit disappointed at first -rrb- in 2.1 set-up its sound ok , not great , but ok ... i fine tune it , but i be not get exactly what i want . also in 2.1 you do not get most of the system audio processing feature . the biggest issue be dialog be wash out by fx sound . watch movie in the evening with kid asleep i constantly have to adjust the sound ... not good . I do my research and pick up Yamaha ns-c210bl center channel speaker -lrb- take a while to find 6ohm speaker , Onkyo be rate at 6ohm do not forget that , 4ohm can possibly fry it , 8ohm will cut power output in half which be already on the low side at 25w per channel -rrb- ohhh what a difference center channel make . it sound perfect , dialog be full and easy to follow even in action heavy scene . with center channel attach i now get most of the audio processing feature . Vol set 55-60 it feel my large living room with double height seal with out any issue . if you have this run in 2.1 drop everything and go by center channel , you 'll be blow away . with addition of center channel + good feature set i rate it at 5 star UPDATE : pick up new Panasonic 55st50 and connected Onkyo to it via HDMI cable to Pannys HDMI -lrb- ARC -rrb- port . thanks to Panasonics Viera Link and Onkyo 's RIHD the 2 work together like a charm . when i power up my tv it automatically turn on Onkyo and send audio to it . MAJOR WAF CUDOS . wife and parent have issue use Harmony one , now they can pick up fio remote turn on tv and the rest be take care of ... with harmony more than often they would press power and drop remote on the couch b4 it have a chance to fire of all command result in all sort of problem : wrong input\/not power up device\/etc ... +236 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 my family buy the RCA blu-ray rtb1100 during the after-thanksgiving sale . we get it all hook up only to have the blu-ray player freeze up multiple time . we exchange it for another one . again the blu-ray player freeze up in the middle of the movie . we try different blu-ray and dvd and the same thing happen . we be very frustrated and will be replace it with another brand . +902 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 these mount be nice look and they work well for hold up small surround speaker . the package include a very complete selection of mount screw and hardware . the special nut include for keyhole speaker work surprisingly well at secure the mount so that I could angle the speaker as desire . about the only point of caution be that these mold plastic mount be definitely for small speaker only . I have a Onkyo 7.1 home theater in a box . the surround speaker I have mount be about 7 `` x10 `` x3 '' . the mount hold they securely enough , but be probably at the upper limit as far as weight . if you speaker be more than the recommend weight , you will need a stronger mount . overall I recommend this package . the price be decent and the product effective . +919 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this system be AMESOME ! have a ton of power , great supwoofer , loud speaker . it be easy to set up \/ adjust , and a really low price . what else could you ask for ? I do a lot of research before I buy this . I be debate between denon and yamaha . what ultimately persuade I be the size and `` sturdiness '' of the denon speaker . they be so much bigger , and be build really well , encase in wood . the whole system be huge & heavy , just all around well make . thing you almost never see anymore . also , Denon 's reputation for good receiver be another tipping point . overall , I be glad I spend a little more to get this system . Worth every penny ! would definately recommend this system to anybody look to buy they first ht system . it will blow you off you couch !!!!!!!!! only con I have be that the receiver freeze up once in a while . unplug it and plug it back in seem to fix it . its more annoying than anything , but I can deal with it . +58 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 pro : - really nice entry level for the price . purchase at amazon -lrb- free shipping through j&r; -rrb- deliver by UPS , no damages and box come heavily protect . - with purchase of new 16 gauge speaker wire I choose , sound better . high , mid , low be enhance . - great with hdmus connection . get hdmus 6 foot cable from amazon . hook up sat\/cable and ps3 only . with my LG 1080p 47 inch hdtv picture great and after adjust speaker channel and loudness . sound very loud . rock my apartment -lrb- and in PS3 , sound so vibrant be dolby 7.1 -rrb- , even satellite speaker be good . con : - with nintendo wius , can not connect video -lrb- or i just miss rca connection , might work with component cable -rrb- though not interested to diagnose since i just have PS3 in HDMI , which be awesome ! - could not play my hand hold video recorder up front -lrb- no easy access -rrb- have to go in the back to play you handheld . other than that , it be a great buy for entry level reciever with 5.1 speaker . I be consider entry level sony , onkyo and yamaha but , i be glad I buy the denon . +748 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I have buy and return 3 different sound bar and surround sound system the past 2 month , range from $ 120 - $ 300 . I want something to enhance the overall quality of my new 42 '' Lg in my bedroom . the surround sound system be disappointing , probably because of my price range , but also because they clutter up the place . the sound bar do not enhance anything at all , let alone `` project '' surround sound quality . this sleek , separable sound system be the answer ; I be extremely satisfy . you can keep the speaker attach as a sound bar underneath you tv . I prefer they separate , it just feel better . the speaker can get very , very loud . I only use low to mid level . it be crystal clear , I can hear voice over sound effect , and really do not have to keep change the volume because the movie get too loud out of no where . the subwoofer be freakin amazing . First of all , its bass level can be turn up very high . but you do not need to . even at low level , you feel like you be in a movie theater . and the best part of all be that you do not need a dvd player to run you system through , you plug you tv into the subwoofer -lrb- which connect to the speaker -rrb- and that be it . you control the volume through the subwoofer . so for a bedroom or small\/medium size live room , this be all you need . unless you want complete surround sound , but to be honest this system be so nice you 'll be just as immerse in the experience . 5 out of 5 all the way +341 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 despues de buscar un buen sistema de teatro en casa , que no I costara una fortuna y trajera todo lo necesario , este sistema de rca fue el mas indicado en el papel y despues de tenerlo por 6 mese puedo decir que es mas que indicado ya funcionando , tanto para peliculas como para musica . Al principio tuve un poco de temor por la marca -lrb- RCA , no e fuerte en hi-fi , no ? -rrb- , pero la calidad es muy buena , no ha fallado nus un momento desde que lo instale y ademas trae todo lo necesario para conectar los equipos . El receptor tiene mas que suficiente potencia y tienen un nivel de distorsion muy bajo por lo que es muy bueno para musica . El decodificador DTS e muy bueno , definitivamente suena mejor que el Dolby 5.1 y este receptor lo maneja muy bien -lrb- si que se sentira en el cine -rrb- . otro punto importante es la cantidad de entradas que tiene , digitale opticas y coaxiale , RCA de audio y video y de s-v ideo , y que la asignacion de cada una a lo equipos que le conecta es muy facil . como otro han mencionado , el subwoofer podria ser mejor , se siente un poco corto de aire a altos niveles de volumen , pero este se puede cambiar por otro pasivo -lrb- el receptor tiene el amplificador de 200 watt , por lo que un subwoofer mejor lo aprovecharia -rrb- o ponerle otro amplificado , pue tiene una salida extra . Los parlante frontale no son del todo buenos tampoco , pue siento que colorean mucho las frecuencias altas . por ello los cambie por mis Panasonic que tenia de mi equipo anterior y el equipo suena mejor -lrb- estos parlantes son mas grande -rrb- . Debo dejar claro , sin embargo , que el equipo suena muy bien con lo parlante originale . La unica queja real que tengo con este sistema es por el control remoto , no tiene codigos para dvd 's y no maneja bien lo aparato a lo que si se les asigna codigo . Practicamente lo uso solo para el receptor . Definitivamente recomiendo el sistema para quien quiera gozar de la musica o de lo soundtrack de pelicula . +440 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 ... the sound be great on cd and dvd , highly recommend . +683 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I do not have any sound problem whatsoever as mention in other review . Easy hook up and the interface be very user friendly . my only gripe be the remote control . instead of individual button -lrb- i.e. '' -- -rrb- '' , '' -lrb- -- '' , `` up '' and `` down '' -rrb- to move around the option , it have one `` square '' type grid pad that be hard to press and manuever . furthermore , surround that `` square '' pad be button that be the same `` height '' -lrb- stick out -rrb- as the square grid pad , as oppose to other button -lrb- i.e. the number button , ff , rew , etc. . -rrb- on the remote that stick out higher . these surround button include `` home '' , `` return '' and `` exit '' which , if not look directly at the remote and with the slightest slip of the hand , one can easily press one of those button by accident and have to start the setting\/entry process again . Hope the above be understandable and helpful . otherwise , a good value and everything else work great ! -lrb- ... so far that be . -rrb- +12 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I only use this system for watch movie and it work just fine . I have to turn the subwoofer level down as it be a little over power but all in all this be a great system for the price . +980 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 we be extremely satisfy with the product . the description of the 1000 home theater system seem just what we want , and it have far exceed we expectation . it be deliver in less time than we expect , and everything be perfect , right out of the box . highly recommend ! +732 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I hook this up to my Samsung 40-inch television . since this tv do not have a hdmus -lrb- arc -rrb- connection , I have to buy a `` optical digital audio cable '' which cost about $ 9.00 through Amazon . I have never use this type of cable before and I be lucky to read a review that say you have to remove the clear plastic protector that surround the little bulb at each end of the cable before insert the cable . overall , the setup be easy . at first I have mix feeling about the sound quality . it be definitely better than the original speaker but I do not notice that much improvement over the $ 59 dollar computer subwoofer and speaker I have attach through the headphone jack -lrb- do not laugh , this setup work pretty well ! -rrb- . however , that all change when my son play the trailer for `` battlefield 3 '' and the whole livingroom rock . currently we only have the speaker hook up to the tv . we have not try hook up a music system to it -- but that look like a easy task as well . I 'll need a different cable for that . Bottomline : these be good speaker . I be sure my neighbor will agree ! +864 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I be look around town for a decent sorround sound system and this catch my eye ,5 speaker 1 subwoofer and the reciever for just over 200 dollar . they have a store demo so I give it a listen and be quite surprised . there be two system hook up to the T.V. , this one and a $ 350 sony system . out of the two this one sound the best , rumble low great clarity and the perfect ammount of speaker for a medium large to large room . it be just overall a great buy for the price . I purchase it , take it home and I must say it have do wonder for my home sound quality . when watch dvd not only do i hear the sound but I feel it . highly recommend . +569 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I get this piece of junk as a gift from my company on my 15 year anniversary , the picture quality be bad and the sound be wayyyyy tooo awfulllll . I get so mad at myself for not choose something else , my 20 year old t.v. have better sound and picture quality than this home theater . I have try to return but they do not want it back , so I take this unit to my back yard , then I get my sledge hammer and wow , what a stress relief , I turn this junk into piece and then to the trash can . that be the best part . +873 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I buy this just the other day and hook it up with the include a\/v cable and it work jut fine . then I go out and buy component cable to take advantage of the system 's Progressive scan capability . I hook it up and try to watch the lord of the Rings Extended Edition . it work fine and look amazing but then I switch it to DTS and there be a random loud thumping noise come from the subwoofer . it be very audible and very distracting during quieter scene . it sound like someone rub they hand over a inflated balloon . I check around on the internet and find a few other people have this problem . one of they speak with a customer service representative and he tell he that this happen because DTS and Progressive Scan be not compatible which sound crazy to I . we think it be a design flaw . I have email customer service myself and I hope they can help I but until then , be very wary when consider this system . if you do not have a progressive scan tv , do not worry about it and get this system which be actually a very good deal . if you want progressive scan and DTS -lrb- my personal favorite audio language -rrb- then avoid this system until Samsung get this work out . any help you all can offer will be appreciate . +769 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I have have this product for a year . it work excellent , sound great , much better than the hdtv speaker . setup be a snap . only one issue , but that be resolve quickly with a tech support call -lrb- a hdmus cable issue - not the lhb335 -rrb- . be sure to use hdmus and\/or fiber optic cable in order to ensure great sound quality -lrb- those `` coax '' cable have go the way of `` rabbit ear '' -rrb- . please note that HDMI cable be notoriously fussy ... I have to gently , and the key word here be gently , wiggle it -lrb- the hdmus cable end -rrb- a little bit to get a good connection . I put in a dvd and watch for output . I try three brand of HDMI cable before I find one that be reliable -lrb- price be not a good indicator of cable quality , either -rrb- . now I have a rj-45 cable to my internet modem , hdmus output to a hdtv , fiber optic input from two hdtv 's , and hdmus input from my notebook pc -lrb- it be permanently sit on my entertainment center -rrb- . this setup give I excellent mp3 playback from my pc -lrb- or directly from a usb drive into the lhb335 -rrb- , great hdtv sound , and streaming hd video from n \* tfl \* x. the bass sound great when you turn up the volume , but you neighbor may not appreciate the sound as much as you do -lrb- mine do not -rrb- . I play all type of music : pop , classic , jazz , rap , trance , hard rock , and they all sound great through this system . the sound be better than most actual movie theater . the Blu-Ray picture quality be wonderful , and dvd picture quality be very good , too . I love that the built-in streaming video provider be already setup and ready to play . the remote control be intuitive , easy to use , and be easy on battery - with quality replacement battery -lrb- I would only move the `` home '' button to some place other than just under the `` sound effect '' button -rrb- . overall , I be very happy and quite satisfied with my purchase . if I be to have the issue that other reviewer have mention , I would take the unit back to the vendor for a exchange -lrb- do not pay the money that LG want for a return , duh , when you can get a direct exchange for free -rrb- . +498 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 o no warranty ; no address or telephone number in packing material . try 800\/726 -3801 . o 90 day warranty . unit die after 9 month . o work only with remote control supply ; no universal remote code so now I have one more clicker to kepp track of o tiny speaker supply with unit have a tinny sound ; fortunately receiver easily drive my ancient Rectilinears . also on the plus side sound level be separately adjustable on each channel . on the down side , a built-in cross-over network mean you can not eliminate they sub-par power-consuming biamped subwoofer . o if you switch from dvd to tv , dvd revert back to start of disk . a major pain as now you have to sit through a minute plus of start-up material . o you can not remove dvd 's until you switch back to dvd mode , wait a minute for warmup o almost impossible to navigate through mp3 's . o lack a mute button . oh thos enoisy commercial o Number key can not be use to select dvd chapter . o could use extra audio input for tape deck and reel-to-reel . o lack digital input for PlayStation , etc. . +453 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I have have this system for almost 3 week now and it be amazing ! no lead problem at all . the sound be 10\/10 !!! no issue with wireless sub either . Works awesome for my bedroom . for $ 300 and free shipping you can not beat this deal !! +768 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 my new Sony dav-fc7 system be work just fine after I set it up 3 week ago . the installation be easy -- it have those new , handy , plug-in speaker wire that have end like a telephone outlet : just plug the green one into the green socket . Easy ! they even give you a reasonable amount of speaker cord , which be generous . the remote be very nice , and easy to use . sacd 's sound awesome . this be my first experience and I be impressed . the system even play some home-burnt dvd 's that my previous Sanyo player have big-time problem handle . the Sony be a snap . i also enjoy the `` sound field '' option , where you can scroll through the sound setting you would like : i.e. `` concert hall '' , `` 2-speaker stereo '' , `` Sony Studio A-B - or c '' . my only complaint be that the 5 disc player be tricky to use . for instance , when disc 1 be finish , it proceed to play disc 2 . but I do not want it to play disc 2 . then you have to re-shuffle back to disc 1 in order to eject it , and that take a few minute . so , my suggestion be that you pre-load you favorite 5 disc and leave it that way . it be not make for easy switching . I would not throw out you old cd player ! one more item : I live in a small apartment in the city . this system be perfect for my space . I have a nice entertainment `` bubble '' in my apartment . the system even have a `` night mode '' set so I can watch my movie in surround at night but not freak out the neighbor . I can not comment on how the system would play in a larger space , but for my need it be perfect . +938 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I buy my Vizio VHT510 5.1-Channel Home Theater System via Amazon.com . the actual seller be GPCK INC , I think . as indicate in many product review , the lead volume indicator on the soundbar stop work in jun 2012 . when I call Vizio , they tell I that since I do not buy it from a authorized retailer , my warranty be invalid . therefore , they do not help I . even though I send they my original invoice , they say that GPCK INC should not sell these item . they do not believe that I buy it new , and they consider I that I be try to cheat . they admit that the lead issue be a known issue , but would not help I . -lrb- base upon the serial number , they tell I that they sell this item to Sam 's Club -rrb- I also call Amazon.com customer service rep , and they be willing to ship this product back , and give a refund . they be much nicer , and more helpful - not even comparable to Vizio . I really do not understand how a company -lrb- Vizio -rrb- can stay in business with such customer service . I would advise all of potential buyer to stay away from they ! +753 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I buy this system July 2006 and be very pleased with it . I do a lot of research and listen to several similar system from other company before purchase the hk cp15 and have to say that it blow other away . the sound quality , richness , ability to hit high and low even at loud voulume without distortion be excellent . this system would be great for small to medium size room . the subwoffer even though be rate 100Watts , produce booming bass which fill the room and while watch movie , shake the room . I love bass but still I keep the bass knob on the subwoffer at about 45 % , its just that powerful ! the speaker be smaller than the hk hkts8 and the `` 8 '' have a 200watt subwoffer and do not come with a dvd player . my friend have the hkts8 in he house , and listen to the two , there be not a huge difference . if this system be in you price range , it be a must buy . as for set-up i do not find it too complicated , it be time comusing though , but the wait be definately worth it ! +310 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 im only 12 year old and I say WOW ! this system have amazing power ,420 watt ! if you buy online , order from walmart or amazon cause they have the best policy . but before you buy , make sure to go to walmart and use the demo . once you use the demo , you 'll find out how amazing this be ! P.S. this system be great for a small to gigantic room ! +508 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this product be very easy to set up . it sound great with video game , as well as movie . I have a average size living room , which be 12 \* 15 , but yet I have to buy addiontal speaker cable . also have to pay about $ 100 for mount bracket since they do not come with they . something to consider when try to be cost effective . it just may have make a difference in whether or not I would have still buy this item . +323 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I buy it a couple of month ago after read all the good review . my expectation be probably too high for the price . just so so sound quality that you can get from auto speaker . again , not terribly bad consider money , but if you want nice home theater quality , I recommend invest a little bit more and go to other speaker set . +29 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I be a little worried make this purchase due to all the poor review it receive . my system be fine , no buzz or anything like that . if you do not have a cable\/satellite box though , you will find it difficult to hook you cable into the surround sound as there be no coax input . +992 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 for the money , the sound from the front speaker on this unit be excellent . however static from the rear wireless speaker be noticeable at normal and low volume . I have attempt to reposition the wireless receiver without success . I be also disappoint with the number of command that can only be do through the supply remote and the wireless speaker in the back still need to be wire into the wireless receiver . after a two week trail I be send this unit back . the static be a deal breaker for I . a $ 300 htib unit will suit my need just not this model . +73 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 buy this system , on recommendation , in June 2003 . System develop a `` pop '' sound and would shut itself down . by the beginning of August 2003 , I finally get the replacement system and the same problem occur two month later - October 2003 . since Novemeber 2003 , I have be contact Onkyo , by email & faxing , to have this system replace , and they have not respond to I . to I , a bad system and bad customer service mean a bad company . it be now April 2004 and I still have this break down system sit in the corner of my bedroom ! +720 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be exactly what i want . though it be not large , the sound be great and the wireless woofer with side speaker leave my room uncluttered . I be very pleased and would highly recommend to other . I also like the remote be small and simple with adjustment button hide . +217 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 better than I expect . Wireless subwoofer with speaker that plug into the subwoofer be outstanding . a great surround sound or the economy mind . +263 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 buy this as a bedroom surround for my daughter in college . it be a cheap unit but she say the sound be pretty good for not be a high end unit . +598 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 well come from a 27 inch bulky tv with horrible sound this be quite the step up . its very easy to set up probably a hour in total from unpack it to post sound test with the mic calibrator . its very light weight and seem to kick but the sub woofer can take so much , the 1000 watt be nice but can overload the speaker if you try to really crank it I have it in a fairly small room its full and vibrant , but I think in a living room situation a better selection may be need . i have the Samsung 720p 42 inch plasma for around $ 500 and aps3 for $ 300 and this sound system for $ 300 so over all im love a great cinematic experience for under $ 1200 , but mind you you get what you pay for I be sure to get the best you would have to double that figure . overall a great buy for the price shipping be probably around 10 day +324 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 Sony 's Bravia line have yet to disappoint I . this home theater in a box be a really nice setup . it do not have the flexibility of a high-end receiver like a denon or Onkyo , but that be not really what a home theater in a box setup be suppose to do . it have one hdmus output , but no hdmus input , and only one optical input . if you have get a newer model tv , that be all you need most of the time . if you can run all of you hdmus source into you tv , you can just run the one optical cable to this receiver and you be ready to go . it be plenty powerful for most live room and get loud without lose much resolution . the subwoofer the weakest aspect of this set , but it be not that bad . you can turn it up in the setting if you want a little more bottom end . I take it back , the weakest aspect of this set be the proprietary input system for the speaker wire . Sony be not the only company to do this , so it be hard to single they out here , but it be still annoying . I prefer to use lower gauge speaker wire , but the proprietary speaker plug make that almost impossible . overall , I prefer this setup to most component system because a -rrb- it do not take up much space b -rrb- it reproduce sound evenly and accurately c -rrb- the dvd upconversion be pretty good and d -rrb- the price be very nice . I down-size from a 7.1 component setup and do not regret it for a second . +131 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I order this home theater system because I be look for the following : \* a decent set of 5.1 surround-sound speaker to go with my new flat-panel hdtv , since in my experience , flat-panel tv have less-than-stellar built-in speaker , due to they size \* a dvd player , since the one I have be old and crappy \* a setup that would not break the bank \* a system that be not `` smart '' -lrb- i.e. internet-capable with app for view online content -rrb- , since the tv I order have that already this system meet all those requirement , and I be pretty happy with it . pro : \* setup be easy , to the point where you do not really even need the instruction , since it be so intuitive \* the sound output be great , consider the price point this unit be be sell at . yes , it be not a super-duper high-quality sound system that will blow away a audiophile , but for under $ 200 -lrb- I pay $ 179 for it , though I have see the price fluctuate + \/ - $ 20 over time -rrb- it be a great system . \* the usb port in the front of the system be really convenient - it allow I to listen to music from my iPhone on the stereo , and it also charge the iPhone when it be plug in . the remote control also work for the iPhone -lrb- play , pause , next , etc. -rrb- , which be handy . \* the hdmus sync work flawlessly , so the system turn on automatically when I turn on the tv -lrb- and not a Sony BRAVIA TV , for the record - it be a LG hdtv -rrb- . \* the calibration mic include with the system make it really easy to automatically calibrate the output of each of the speaker . manually adjust each individually after the fact if the auto calibration do not suit you need be pretty easy , too . I live in a second-story apartment and bump down the setting on the subwoofer to avoid irate downstairs neighbor . do so be a cinch . con : \* from the info find online and in the instruction booklet , I be lead to believe that this system could receive audio input via hdmus -lrb- e.g. a single hdmus cable connect the dvd player via a ARC HDMI port on the tv would provide dvd video and audio input to the tv , and return audio to the sound system from the tv when watch from some other source , like a cable box or broadcast television -rrb- . this be not true . I realize after closely scrutinize the documentation that it never explicitly say this , but it do make it look like this would be possible from the diagram . to send audio back to the stereo system , you must connect the tv to the dvd player with a digital optical audio TOSLINK cable -lrb- for a digital audio connection -rrb- or coaxial -lrb- for a analog audio connection -rrb- . since my tv only support a digital audio output , I have to use the TOSLINK cable . \* the rear speaker be not wireless . I do not expect they to be -lrb- especially not at the price this unit sell for -rrb- , and it be not a big deal for I , since I have all my speaker set up in the front of the room , but it might be consider a negative for some people . \* the rear speaker wire be not very long . again , not a big deal for I , since they be all up front anyway , but if I have want to put they in the back of the room , I might have have some difficulty . the speaker use a proprietary wire connection , so splicing they to make they longer would have be a little tricky -lrb- though I have read report of people manage it -rrb- . \* adjust the output setting on the individual speaker be easy -lrb- as state in the pro section above -rrb- , but it do require go into the setting menu , which can only be access when the system be not play a dvd . so no adjusting anything but the main volume when you be in the middle of a movie . if you realize that a particular movie be really bass-heavy and you want to adjust the output of the sub , you have to stop the dvd , go into the system setting menu , tweak it , and then restart you dvd . I have not encounter a time when I have need to do this , but I can imagine it might irk some people if they have to go through that rigmarole . none of the `` con '' I have list be deal-breaker for I , since most of they do not apply to my particular setup . but they be worth note , since they may be deal-breaker for someone else . overall , I have be very happy with this system : it be suit my need perfectly , and the price be excellent . +540 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 everything seem ok about this , but I cant hear the voice channel very well . I pretty much have to turn it up to 35-40 to be able to hear much voice durr a movie ... if I could fix that I would be plenty happy . +0 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 do not buy this product , $ 200 to watch 3 movie and a piece of trash . I believe there should be a class action suite against this product ! somebody with the legal expertise should organize this law suit . +692 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 just like many other be complain the display stop work a few week before warranty expire . I do not have a chance to call tech support to get it fix and now they will not fix it . I think panasonic make good product and in fact they be on top of my list until now . +942 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 ... it be the best home Theater System for the money bar none ... I have be a a avid Aiwa fan for over 23 year now and have never be disappoint with they product . from my first cassette deck in 1979 to my latest purchase of the ht-d980 , that be still the case . the ht-d 980 have 120 Watts x 5 which will blow you door off if not careful ! the speaker and subwoofer include in the package sound awesome and can crank with no discernible distortion even at ear-splittingly high level . it be amazing . the unit have a plethora of digital input to assure you have enough hook-up for you digital equipment ; i.e. , dvd , etc. . it even offer a coaxial digital input which be nice , in addition to 3 optical input , plus it even offer a optical digital output ! as far as regular rca audio\/video input , it have 3 input and 3 output as well as one set of in\/out on the front of the unit for quick connection of such thing as a video camera , etc. . also for anyone still hold lp 's the unit have a phono input which be not so common anymore in the marketplace ! too , another awesome feature be 2 s-video input and output for connection of svh equipment and output to you s-video equip television for superior resolution . other Home Theater feature be 5:1 channel analog input and Dolby pro Logic . the unit have a graphic equalizer to tailor music or video to you taste and a bass-enhancing feature call super t-bass which be great for that extra ` ooomph ' out of the subwoofer I need to hear in my Rock music or the soundtract to Apocalypse now and the door . the tuner in the unit be awesome with 32 preset , all digital . the unit 's display be not only cool look but well lay out and informative ; I especially like the surround display , it rock ! no drawback , only superb performance typical of Aiwa product ! grab it , you will not be sorry . +412 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I buy the Panasonic SCHT80 for my mother for Christmas after do some extensive research . I go to bose and look at they system and Cambridge Sound , I check out all of the on-line rating system and even use consumer report and all give the Panasonic SCHT80 a great review . the sound be awesome and it be the most convenient thing to have a cd and dvd with speaker . I want to get my mother a system that be easy to use and understand . all I have to do be plug in the VCR and the Digital Cable box to the scht80 and you can watch television and hear it through the speaker on surround sound . on Christmas day when I get that bad boy out of the box and all hook up it have even more than I have ever expect . I would recommend this to anyone who want convenience , great sound , awesome visual and all in one box with a price you can not beat . +315 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 just hooked this up to my Hitachi 60 '' LCD\/Projection TV and be very pleased . you may read review from `` bass-head '' who be only interested in ridiculous thumping , not purity of sound , but I can tell you this system sound fantastic . my family room be 20 x 15 and these speaker fill the room with a rich , vibrant sound rival that of a bose system -lrb- cost twice as much -rrb- that I try and return . the subwoofer be perfect for the system - it add rich base without sound like one of those `` install by a teenager '' car system you hear so much of today , and it do not take up the entire floor to do it . we could not reach full volume before the system be too loud for comfort . 12db on the dial be enough to drown out any attempt at normal conversation . the surround sound be phenomenal -lrb- Matrix Reloaded play Progressive scan Component out be we baseline movie -rrb- . the manual be a bit tedious . I be pretty technically inclined , and this be a bit of a challenge for I . the fact that the remote have a shift-key say a lot . plan to spend some time master this thing . bottom line : if you be look for a chest-cavity shake , hip hop dance club thumping system , buy discreet component . if you be look for a attractive , affordable , incredibly clean sound system with very high quality component , this be definitely the system for you . easily 5 star for this price . +360 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 1 -rrb- volume problem when play CD -lrb- too loud -rrb- 2 -rrb- dvd play ok 3 -rrb- setup be easy -lrb- color-code -rrb- and manual be ok 4 -rrb- get a replacement - same cd problem and dvd be break as well - send the whole thing back . 5 -rrb- would have be a nice system if it work . +146 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I have two of these system , buy one for work and one for home . they work great . yes , one of they have the same trouble as you may read in some comment . I find if you eject the disk before you shut it off , they never get stick in it . the one machine where they do get stick , i unplugged it for two day and plug it back in and it spit out the cd . +624 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 we have this system for 5 year with not a lot of usage on it and it finally break . the interface between the remote control and the main unit stop work . I have try new battery and none of the function on the remote work . out of all the japanese brand electronics I own at home , Panasonic have the least reliability and quality . I have never have any problem with my Sony , Toshiba , Sharp and Sanyo electronics . in the last 8 year , my Panasonic VCR break , the DVD\/VCR Home Theater break , and my 50 disc Stereo Changer break . all of the other japanese Electronics in the household be still functional . my last Panasonic finally break and I will no longer purchase another Panasonic ever again . +273 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be the perfect system it stand up with bose if not better . clear sound no distortion . high , mid , and low ; JBL have it cover with this system and include everything you need for setup include Wall hang mount . +596 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I order this system because I want to put new speaker on my exist surround sound system . read the review on Amazon , I expect the subwoofer to be weak -lrb- it be -rrb- , but I expect the speaker to be good to excellent . they be fair . this be actually the first item in my multi-year history as a Amazon shopper that I be go to the trouble to return . the speaker system I order for my computer sound better . if you just need a cheap system that be better than the speaker on you tv , this might be good for you . otherwise , shop around and maybe spend just a little more . +505 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I like the upscaling ability from normal dvd 480us to 1080p . but you have to use the hdmus . it doesent give you much of a option to fine tune the sound . it have preset . and they be not of the best quality . the system sound ok . but it have a echo effect if i turn my tv volume up . i guess i should have just buy a sony t.v. well everybody be ` nt able , sony . and my tv volume shouldnt come out the tv before the sound come out the surround sound . you can only sync the sound when you be play dvd 's on this system . it have deep rich bass . but the rear speaker volume cant be adjust separately from the front . matter of fact you cant individually change the volume on any channel like i can do on my cheap surround system from walmart -lrb- $ 40 -rrb- . its a decent piece . but you get what you get when you only pay $ 200 for a sony surround sound system . do you homework . or try to save up a little more cash and get something better . +71 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 apparently everyone else be have a hard time with theirs . I have have no trouble with mine at all . I have have it for 3 year ; buy it brand new . the complaint I have hear about the sound and quality of the bass and treble be just nitpicky . you have many sound field to choose from , as well as night and day option for sound emphasis . many control be find on remote and can not be find on main unit , though . without the remote you will be lock out of many feature . the dt option be fabulous . if you have DTS dvd 's you will love this sony product . I love my sound system , and many of my friend love the way it look and sound compare to theirs . +805 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this system certainly help the sound of we tv . I wish I have go with a bit higher wattage , but all-in-all this do the job . the only negative be that all of the volume level reset to the default when you power-off to standby mode , so I have to leave the speaker on all the time or reset the volume each time I turn it on . +857 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be prob . the best item I ` ve boughten this year . . !!! totaly awsome system tv , radio , surround all in one . . ! great buy . . +39 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 my wife and I just move into we first house and after year of live in a cramped apartment , I be finally able to splurge on entertainment product for we living room . while I have do a ton of research for nearly everything else in my set-up , I take a chance on this system and be reasonably happy so far . for whatever reason , I have buy nothing but Samsung product for we living room . 52 '' lcd tv and Blu-Ray player . I figure I would stick to the same name brand for the htib system . on the plus side , the sound quality be pretty solid , especially during sport event . it be really , really nice . music sound fine on it , too . the set-up be fairly painless , as long as you follow the instruction closely . I love that it have 4 hdmus input , which be great since I have a cable box , xbox 360 and Blu-Ray player . it make it far easier to change input , compare to have to navigate HDMI input with the television 's own controller . I be absolutely blow away by the sound of the system when play call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 . fantastic stuff . my living room be a very odd shape and design , and for that reason I be glad this system have the ASC device to balance the sound . Picture if you will a rectangle on its side . my tv be in the upper right corner . a bay window take up nearly the entire right wall . the top\/north wall have a fireplace that jut out . the bottom\/south wall be where one couch be , but the staircase to go up stair be behind it , so there be actually only 1\/2 a wall there . the left\/west wall have a love seat , and the south-left corner lead directly into the kitchen area . that make it incredibly difficult to figure out where exactly to place the speaker . the ASC mic do a pretty good job get the volume level from each speaker balanced . I just wish there be a way to figure out the best speaker position without spend money to have some Geek Squad guy come out to the house . on the downside , the rear speaker be not wireless , although the cable be certainly long enough . when hang on the wall , the speaker also do not have a indentation to run the wire through , so the speaker hang on the wall weirdly . the system can not expand to 7.1 channel , but I know that when I purchase it . the system be fairly new , so my Harmony one remote have to be manually program . this have lead to a few occasion where the avr do not change input , despite repeatedly hit button on the remote . occasionally during commercial on tv , the sound will momentarily drop out for a second or so . I can not explain that one . I be also amaze by the amount of dust the speaker and avr attract . my wife and I keep we house spotless , but dust still find its way to the system and it be hard not to notice it on the shiny surface . despite my best effort , it seem like everything be cover in dust by the end of the day . I also have a Nintendo Wii , which have a composite output , and I still can not figure out how to connect it to the avr . the video input be there for a composite connection , but I be unclear where the audio get plug in . I be not a fan of the ipod connection , either . once you connect a ipod or iPhone , there be no way to select a song or playlist or anything ... the device just play . I have to set the avr to `` Video iPod '' in order to navigate the ipod and play the music\/playlist I want to . a minor annoyance , but a annoyance nonetheless . as this be my first htib , I really enjoy the hw-c560 and I hope to get quite a few good year out of it . that say , my next home theater purchase will be a larger , better set-up that work better with the living room . +808 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I own 2 other Apex dvd player . they be great . this home Theater System be not . the remote enter the number 4 repeatedly when it be just sit on the table . it have go through 4 set of battery in 2 month . the main unit do not recognize command from it 3\/4 of the time . it will not play SVCD disc as it be manual say it will . overall , I would say it be a piece of garbage . I do not know what happen to the good quality for a low price apex use to deliver , but this sure be not it ! +77 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I have these speaker and think they sound great ! I would not have pay $ 2500 + originally but they deliver a clear sound , look great , and do not take up much room at all . +5 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I purchase this system about 4 month ago and have be very pleased with it . once I manage to haul the contents out of the very heavy and unwieldy box , I put it together fairly quickly . I be impress with the multiple inputs\/outputs that accomodate my satellite receiver and dvd player . the speaker be solid , make of wood , look good , and sound great . the receiver be easy to operate though I have to leave very specific direction for house guest so they could figure it out . I can not operate the subwoofer very loud to due my apartment neighbor but it seem to put out quite enough bass at the lowest level . the only problem I have have be finally figure out how to connect everything use component video from dvd to tv -lrb- since there be no component connection on the receiver -rrb- , s-video from satellite to receiver and a\/v connection to my VCR . the Onkyo website have good suggestion for configuration . the remote be a little disappointing -- I have to go buy a Sony universal remote in order to operate all my component but it be well worth the small ... investment to be able to do this . music sound good and movie sound great and even tv come through well use the tv logic setting . this be the best system available in this price range . +475 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 its a very good system for those who be bother with home theater wiring -lrb- and want to avoid spending on wireless speaker -rrb- . however its not a real surround system and neither do they promise it to be . +45 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I just get of the phone with Samsung earlier and my dvd\/home theater be dead . my warranty expire 4 month ago . it be go to cost $ 150.00 to repair the unit , and I just pay a little over $ 250.00 when I buy it . it work great until it die this weekend . all other tv component be plug into the same surge protector and they work just fine . I buy this at the same time we buy a Samsung DLP tv . Samsung would not cut I any slack on the repair cost . I suggest you skip this product and buy something different . next time we will probably skip buy any Samsung product . +629 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this Home Theatre System by Sony be a great deal . it cost less than $ 200 for a 420 watt system that have the Sony brand name on it . the sound be very clear and the reciever be powerful . there be problem with it however , the reciever des not have enough input , both digital and analog . I be also unimpressed with the remote . I dislike it because it only work with Sony electronics . that be oviously a marketing ploy but I wish they didnt do that . despite tose problem , this be a good , solid and inexpensive home Theatre System and I would recomend it if you can not afford a $ 2000 high-end system . +128 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 the Panasonic sc-htb15 be a great home Theater System . it be unfortunate that I be not able to install this myself due to the way my current Panasonic Viera television be set up -lrb- it be wall mount by a professional -rrb- so I need to call in someone to do this for I . I watch the tech set it up and seem to be relatively easy to do -lrb- once he be able to get to the wall mount television -rrb- . if I have the television on a standard table mount I be sure I coud have easily set this up myself . once install , all I can say be ` wow ' to the quality of the sound . the technician set up the speaker similar to the way it be display on the Amazon page , one on each side of the television wall mount . to I , the sound rival any 4 speaker system out there and fro , the second it be turn on , fill my entire room with beautiful crystal clear sound . if there be any drawback at all it would be that I wish the system be wireless -lrb- so I do not have to go through the expense of the installation -rrb- . but , as I mention , I do have a wall mount which be my own drawback I guess . I would recommend this system to anyone to use in a family room or live room with a large screen tv -lrb- I love the Viera model so I be slightly prejudice when it come to the Panasonic name -rrb- . +134 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 first a disclaimer , I be not a audiophile . however , I have be compare a number of home theater system for week before i buy this one . I narrow it down to two for the money i want to spend , and the other one be the Sony ht5100d , but I pick this one for a couple of reason . they both have 5 speaker and a `` sub `` woofer , DTS\/Dolby digital , 5 disc dvd changer etc , but the panasonic be cheaper , have a additional 50watt to the woofer , and play mp3 . I do not demand perfection from my audio equipment , but i can tell what stink . I be a college student , and i be mostly worried about this system be too weak to work as a stereo for a house party , but it be not . it will not blow anybody away , but it be certainly more than sufficient for the need of most normal people . -lrb- of course replace the left and right speaker with some relatively cheap bookshelf speaker do not hurt , and allow you to keep the two extra factory speaker in the closet in case another one get damage or something -rrb- . I be also excite to learn that it play CDR\/W and mp3 -lrb- on cd -rrb- . this mean that instead of make a few mix cd for a party , you can just put the mp3 straight onto a cd -lrb- which mean that you can store around 200 song on one cd -rrb- , this allow you to make one huge cd , and put it on random . if you be look at hometheater but be not worry about mp3 , i would atleast make sure the one you purchase play home-made disc -lrb- cd-r\/w 's -rrb- because somewhere along the line you or someone will want to play one and you 'll be out of luck . the improvement in quality of audio from vh to dvd be actually greater than the improvement in picture resolution , and this system take advantage of that . you be get a nice dvd player , stereo , and subwoofer , for a pretty good price . +538 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 thing be go great for 5 month , until suddenly I can not play dvd . the dvd audio be choppy and the video pixelate then stop altogether within seconds . Samsung of course be difficult to deal with to have they complete a warranty repair . rather than just send a new unit , which most reputable manufacturer would do to minimize you inconvenience & displeasure with they company , they want I to send it off to they for 2-3 week . -lrb- not a partcularly entice option when the unit comprise the sum total of you home audio\/video equipment . -rrb- we 'll see how this play out , but I be inclined to return to Sony product . after all , I have the same receiver , CD player , tape deck , & dvd player for many year -lrb- nearly 20 year in the case of the receiver -rrb- , and now my Samsung replacement die after 5 month . other down side that I be willing to overlook , but deserve mention : \* when you plug in you ipod to the usb port , its next to impossible to control what song be next . it do not pull up the song\/artist info , but rather you get a series of 4-5 random letter , so you be stick just click next until a song play that you may want to hear at that particular moment . the work around I start use be just to plug the ipod into the stereo use the ipod 's headphone jack & control thing from the ipod itself . the usb port be a great idea for Samsung , but its not think out well enough to actually be effective . \* the remote control be not well organize . difficult to navigate dvd without really concentrate on the button you be look for . \* the disc #s on the carousel should be white on black , rather than black on black . its real hard to read they -- even up close -- in a dark armoire . \* no cd mode that I can discern . so if you just want music , you gotta take out the dvd , otherwise , it 'll play they when it come around to they . my old Sony dvd player have this feature and would skip the dvd in CD Mode . +821 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this unit be very easy to set up and so far have work great . the quality be much better than I expect . I live in a apartment and it sound great in my living room . I even have to keep the woofer at half power . I suspect it be make by the same people that make oritron dvd player , as that be what my parent have and they remote be almost exactly the same , and the onscreen menu feature exactly the same graphic . it be definitly not manufacture by koss , they must outsource or license they name for it . but it still be a excellent system . I use it for the radio as well as cd playback . however every once in a while it will skip excessively with cd 's , all I do be eject it , then re-insert it and it work perfectly . my friend pioneer do exactly the same thing . no , it do not have digital input , and it may not impress you audiophile friend , but it definitely do the trick especially for the price . I look at several other dvd players\/surround sound system for around the same price and the quality be definitely not up to the level of this unit . I would recommend this to anyone not want to shell out xxx$ for a `` name-brand '' system . +339 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I do a lot of research and would not consider myself a very technical listener . have say that I do like my music and movie loud and clear . I also need a low profile option as hang speaker be not a option . this soundbar be the best of the bunch . I do agree that if you be look for true surround sound go with the true surround sound 5.1 s. this be not for you . but if you be look for fill a average size room with quality sound , I would recommend this product . I also like the docking station feature . it be too bad it be not include . also , if you be handy and need to mount it under a shelf -lrb- below the tv -rrb- like I do , buy some `` l '' bracket from the hardware store and modify they as need . save the $ 60.00 that I see advertise . +757 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 the sound be crisp and clear . Love Pandora and online feature . everyone that see and listen to my suround sound love it . good enough for a rm no bigger than 15x15 so you can truely enjoy the sound quality : but the sound carry much further than that . it be a Xmas gift from my boyfriend and I love it !! +364 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I buy this sytem about 2 week ago . so far , everything be work just fine . the sound be decent and the design be good , the system be easy to setup -lrb- clap you hand in the setup program and it set the distance from each speaker -rrb- however , I do have some complaint . decent quality sound reproduction but sound a bit wash out in the mid range . the system take what seem to be forever to switch from one dvd\/cd to another with a lot of wind and click sound . it have a 5-disc changer . however , the 5 tray be flimsey and they open up by force open the front cover - it only open by way of the disc tray push it down and out of the way as the tray come out . for the price , I think it be a good deal . however , I probably would now see about the th-m606 instead - it be more expensive , but it be more powerful . I think JVC should see about inprove switching speed inside the unit as well as make the face cover open independantly of the disc push it open - i be just wait for one of the flemsey tray to break if the front cover ever stick close . +539 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 this be the first surround sound system that I have buy . I be horrify when i get it set up and realize that the surround sound only work for the dvd player . it sound great for dvd 's but everything else come out of two front speaker . ... APEX have make a big mistake with this product and they sure have I fool and I quickly return it ... do not make the same mistake that I do . +833 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be a fantastic product ! it be easy-to-setup , inexpensive and have great sound . one thing I do not know be that you need to buy a hdmus cable if you have a hdtv , I think they would of include one -lrb- also , do not fall for the monster Cable , several study prove they be no different than a $ 20 one -rrb- . additionally you probably will need more audio cable , my living room be quite small and I barely have enough cable to go to the back of the room . SOME SETUP tip : you have to plug all you device into the ss system and then a hdmus cable into you tv , so now you will use the Sony ss remote to change input . also to program the surround sound with a universal remote -lrb- like a Comcast or DirecTV remote -rrb- , program you surround sound as `` tv '' on the remote so when you adjust you volume it control you ss system , then set you tv to `` AUX '' . it do not matter because when you use the `` all On\/Off '' button it will turn all device off . in conclusion , this product be wonderful for the price , you will not be disappointed ! +482 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 bose product be usually expensive and some people argue that they can get a better system at maybe half the price . now it depend on various parameter on what they evaluation be base on . for I , any music system be good which give you the utmost pleasure in listen . this bose product come with 5 pair of Jewel cube speaker which be a little different then the regular speaker taht bose offer with they speaker system . they give you more clarity of sound - you can almost hear the finger strum on the guitar string , the breathing of a singer and complete surround sound where it be available . you can easily find the difference when you play the bose and another music system side by side and listen to the same music piece . the set up be extremely simple . so if you hate tangle with wire and push in knob and button for that perfect sound , then this system be for you . but if you be into graphic equalizer , and be addict to lot of port and want a receiver which will be the control center of you home Theatre then this be not the system for you . the bose system do allow you to connect you tv , dvd player and VCR through the system but that be about it . you will not find any additional port in the system . so for that price , I think you will not regret anything about this system - the most impressive of all be the size of the speaker and the range of sound that emit from they . I be sure you be gonna love they . +935 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this system be excellent for the price . plenty of power for my intention and be simple to hook-up . dvd and cd and tuner mode be very good with simple remote operation . I would recommend this system to all . who wish a low cost unit with good sound quality . +726 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this have 2.1 speaker with a optical input and a hdmus input that will work with you typical hdtv . even better , the subwoofer include a receiver build into it , which be why this compact system will work right out of the box . and that also mean far fewer cable go every which way too . it have analog input too , if need . the sound be very good though as other point out the satellite be the weakest part of the whole system . there be a adjustable graphic equalizer to make the most of the system 's ability however . all in all I be very happy with it . if you want really loud booming sound that shake the room ? not the system for you . you 'll need to spend more . +983 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I love this machine ! I do hesitate before buy it because it have more feature than I need . mainly want something to play cd and cassette with a radio that sound good . this have function I have no need for and think it might be difficult to use . keep come back to it though , because I love the look and the size of it . I be not a expert but to I the sound be just fantastic and I be really happy I buy it . it be all set up in we living room and look great , sound great and I love that blue display . +94 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I buy htx-22hdx with sks-22x for only $ 240 . what you get be integrate receiver plus 5 speaker and a subwoofer . the speaker be very good look in piano black . I connect the subwoofer with the hdmus 1.4 cable to the ARC HDMI port of my Samsung 8000 tv . I do not need extra cable to the tv . since Samsung and integrate Onkyo receiver support cec , when I turn on the tv use the Samsung remote the speaker turn on as well when I turn off the tv the speaker turn off automatically . I can also use the Samsung remote to turn up the volume . it feel really greatly integrate . the sound be great with the sks-22x package . the center speaker be clear and the subwoofer strong . I have medium size room and when I watch many blue-ray movie and it feel like you be sit in the theater . the advantage of this speaker system be that you do not have to have a bulky receiver sit some where in you room . it be very compact . the feature be amazing for the pice . hdmus 1.4 , 3d , ARC , CEC , 3HMDI in , 2 optical port , ... I would recommend this speaker system for a medium size room . by the way , I buy the sks-22x package from shoponkyo.com . +170 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I just want to make the point that for $ 300 - $ 350 you can get the sc-ht820 \/ ht830\/ht833 system , which despite the lower number be arguably better . the 820\/830 system have AM\/FM , fully control from the remote , 5-disc changer , and a mid-high end VCR with high-speed transport , and very good speaker and sound -lrb- do just great in we 15x30 live room . -rrb- this model sacrifice am\/fm\/vcr for a little more stylishness , but imho its not a better system . +232 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 for my first home theater system , I be look for something that do not consume so much space , yet produce high-quality surround sound effect and it should be economical . after one week I buy this product , I confirm that it fulfil all of my requirement . the speaker fit easily under my tv , with the woofer-receiver fitting in the shelf and I test with 7.1 and 5.1 channel dvds\/movies and I hear clear surround sound effect . and I get this for the gold-box deal for $ 249 . to output my tv audio , I have to buy a optical audio digital cable . as mention , this be my first home theater and hence I can not compare with any other product . I really like what I buy and if I want to get a better effect , I will rather go to a movie theater . +234 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I be very picky with my recommendation , but this system be one you can not beat for the price . I love the fact that you can get this without a dvd player , for those who already have one seperately . you 'll hear movie and music in a way you never have before . get ready to be blow away . +520 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be a outstanding sound system , once you finally figure how to set it up . the instruction that come with it , be not complete enough , so , unless you be a true techie , you will have problem . recommend get a pro to install . I have to install this three time on three different set in order to figure out how to get it to even turn on . the sound be crisp and beautiful , and you can crank this system to the max with no distortion . it carry well from my living room throughout my bedroom , and you can hear it well on the patio if you really crank it . it be a awesome product , just incredibly difficult to get the system hook up . +191 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I should have listen to the other reviewer who say that even at volume ' 1 ' this thing be too loud . there be a digital volume that go from like 0 to 50 or something . I have never try over 3 . if the kid be sleep , 1 be too loud to watch a movie . also no input , so you can not run a VCR or something through it . the menu be a bit confusing . it take several minute to figure out how to watch pg movie or enable the surround speaker . do not throw away the doc , you 'll need the password pin . +358 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I be originally plan on get the 6500 , but could not find one locally . during that search , I run into a store that have one 6600 leave and it be on sale , so I go ahead and get it . the only apparent difference that I have find be the 6600 have Bluray 3d capability , but other than that they seem pretty identical . setup be relatively easy . everything be color-code and Samsung have they own little speaker wire plug , so it be hard to screw up . that make it easy , but more difficult to do any kind of customization of you own with other speaker . the speaker calibration seem to work pretty well , although now and the audio track randomly get out of sync on occasion , require a re-boot to reset thing . so far this have only happen when I have be watch the dvr , so I be not sure if it be specific to that device or input or not . I have my xbox 360 and hd Cable plug into the HDMI input , and it play everything well . it be great playing game in surround sound , too . that add a whole new dimension to the gaming experience . all of it be run to a 50 '' Panasonic plasma tv , which have one of the best picture in the tv business to begin with , so the video quality be awesome . I expect the sound to be marginal at best , come from a bit of a home-theater customization background . I be pleasantly surprise at how good it actually sound , though , particularly when play dvd or Blurays . do not get I wrong here , though . this provide the most basic of surround sound , which still greatly enhance watch movie , but it do not provide the same depth of sound as much more expensive and more powerful system . that say , the subwoofer do get low enough to simulate most sound , and the rest of it sound pretty good . dialogue be the best part , as this be actually sometimes the hardest part of a soundtrack to find a happy medium for comfortable listen without have to keep the remote handy for turn it up and down as the scene change . the Samsung find a balance between action and dialogue where you do not have to constantly adjust thing , which be proof that they have the auto-calibration down pretty well . I have mine wire directly to my home network . I do not even bother with the wireless dongle , as I have yet to use one that work to my expectation . even with a wire connection to a 10gb connection , I experience Netflix issue . the entire internet-based menu and app system be sluggish at best , so I will probably only use the internet for firmware update . I believe this be a Samsung issue , not my internet , for the simple reason that I can watch full hd Netflix movie through my xbox wirelessly with no issue at all . and that be fine with I ... I still play they through the Samsung surround sound , so it be not a loss , although it would be nice to see Samsung come up with a fix to smooth thing out . there be various app and whatnot you can play with online , but the remote be clumsy and poorly design in my opinion . it lack any intuitive way to type , for one thing , which limit what you can do efficiently on the web . you have to create a account at the Samsung app store , and another at they internet@tv or whatever it be call site , and I just have not have the patience to sit through it all . I have enough computer and app already , so I guess I be happy with just be able to play bluray in surround sound for now . : -rrb- for the price , I do not think you can beat what you get with this system . $ 450 and it do almost everything . I do wish it would tell you what resolution it be output to the tv and what kind of sound it be play in -lrb- i.e. dt , Dolby 5.1 , etc -rrb- . as far as I have be able to discover , there be no way to tell if it be truly play the encode surround signal . pro : price , good sound , easy setup , better than normal auto-calibration system for speaker con : confusing remote , unexplained slow-down in internet signal run through system that make use Netflix almost impossible . +26 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this be truly a excellent buy . the receiver\/dvd player be not very stylish , but the speaker produce clear and rich sound , and only distort when it be turn all the way up . there be no need to run it all the way up though because the system be suprisingly powerful . the menu have a nice individual speaker setup list , so you can optimize each speaker . one word of caution though : DO NOT buy this if you intend to play just dvds\/cds on it ! the player read disk with great difficulty and only work 7 out of 10 time . I recommend you hook up a better dvd player to the system as a receiver , and use it just for the speaker . +85 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 if you be look for a reasonably price , powerful , feature pack Home Theater system , consider the Kenwood htb-205 . for under $ -lrb- amount -rrb- , this system deliver the feature and performance of many system twice as expensive . the htb-205 come complete with a surround sound receiver , subwoofer -lrb- passive with a internal amp in the receiver -rrb- , front , surround and center channel speaker . the receiver be equip with Dolby pro Logic , pro Logic II , DTS , and Dolby Digital decoder . in DSP mode , the receiver also provide numerous Cinema mode such as Arena , Theater , etc. . . one of the nicest feature of the htb-205 be the variety of input and output port . this system be capable of handle almost any input from standard rca to optical audio and digital coax . the high number of physical input make it a versatile system capable of handle the duty of most home theater configuration . the htb-205 's auto sense mode be also a useful feature . when activate , the system will auto sense digital audio input from you cd\/dvd or digital cable\/satellite and engage the appropriate Dolby decoder . when the channel be switch to a analog source , the receiver will automatically transfer to the Cinema mode of you choice . this make it easy to use for the less technical user . sound quality be excellent with 600 amp -lrb- 100 x 6 channel -rrb- of total power . Mine be set up in a large room and it definitely rock the house and then some . the subwoofer , although power by a amp internal to the receiver , provide more than enough bass to bring the onscreen action to life . the front , center and surround speaker be good as well . they provide more than enough performance for the average user although a speaker upgrade would no doubt improve the overall quality of this system . add feature of the htb-205 , such as a night mode , which allow you to compress the digital audio range to achieve full sound quality at lower volume , be uncommon in lower end receiver . as a true receiver , the htb-205 do a adequate job as well . it be replete with a intelligent memory system to help organize you radio preset and the sound quality be on par with mid-range receiver in the market today . set-up be a breeze with color code cable that be actually long enough to fit reasonable configuration . depend on you room size and cable route , you may need to extend the cable for the surround speaker . the largest drawback in my mind to this system be the remote control . it be small and confusing and difficult to operate in the dark while watch a movie . all in all , the htb-205 provide a lot of performance in a turn-key home theater package for the price . +281 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 very good system . totally satisfy with this product . Sony make quality electronics . well worth the money . I also have a custom surround system base on Harmon Kardon and the Sony system sound very close . +23 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this be not a living room speaker set but ideal for small room . system be simple and no frill , so installation be a cinch . the wire may be a little touchy where they connect in the subwoofer because i be experience a lot of cutoff . i have to keep tweek they in the back or reset the wire all over . it may be from my own do , possibly with wire be pull by furniture , etc. . but not sure . still seem like the connection could be a little better , otherwise , great value ! +932 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I do a lot of research , like most of you will do , and determine that this be the best I could do with my budget . my primary concern be sound quality and get enough power for a large room -lrb- 19 ' x 20 ' -rrb- this do well in those regard , while you sacrifice in other area . for this price you can not have everything ! pro : the component seem quality build . the receiver be heavy and well ventilate . the speaker be heavy and wooden . everything be just sturdy . it ship well pack in a heavy box . the amplifier itself be the same circuitry and power rating you 'll find in more expensive denon receiver , like the 591 and 1611 . from what I gather it be THD and power compare well with more expensive model . it certainly do a good job with the include speaker . it will get ridiculous house party loud , no worry . the hdmus input give no problem . Denon be sometimes note for handshake problem , but I do not encounter any . I have a Motorola DVR , a Sony bdp-s570 blu-ray and a Samsung pnc50c450 and they all sync up perfectly . I do the latest firmware update on each device prior to the Denon arrive . the sound be pretty tweak-able , if you have the patience . more on that later . the include speaker wire be long . con : set this thing up be tedious . there be no surround auto setup . you need to measure you speaker distance manually . you need to tweak the loudness of each speaker to you liking . they should all be equal . you need to specify the type of each speaker . . etc. . the menu be not very intuitive . the include speaker wire be pretty thin 22 gauge . I suppose this be ok , but it seem fragile and I prefer some more durable , less resistive 16 gauge wire for the long run in my room . you may want to play with the crossover frequency also . let the sub handle everything below 200hz provide the best result in my case . at first I think the sound be muddy . I then do some research on room acoustic and speaker positioning . most real expert -lrb- the one that work in the field and\/or adhere to the scientific method -rrb- agree that the room it be acoustic and the position of you and you speaker be the single most important variable in sound quality . I completely agree after re-position my speaker three time . the most significant change be move the sub-woofer out of the corner and into the open . I also get some quality mount . in conclusion , do some research , put you speaker in the right spot , work with the setup for 3 or 4 day until you get the sound you want and crank it up . after all that , holy cow ! crank it up ! +214 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 buy this for a vacation home which have large flat screen tv and blue Ray player . do not really want 5 speaker and\/or receiver due to space limitation . the unit be small but full feature . sound be more than adequate for movie and regular tv . to augment a flat screen tv and hook up to the dvd player , this unit be a great fit . cost be in line with similar quality item although there be no real direct competitor that I have see . +318 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 tuner very poor reception , instuction poor at best , waste of money over all . I be really sad that Amazon would allow this stuff on the market . I do make the specker work and do get the dvd workable , the i pod device be crap . +92 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 buy this system 's equivalent from Onkyo about a year ago . unless you be a true audiophile with hearing surpass a cat 's -- and do not kid yourself that you be -- then you will not tell the difference between this and a bose system at three time the price . or any other system , for that matter -lrb- yes , I know that bose be not well regard by cognoscenti despite they well craft rep -rrb- . as long as Onkyo be willing to put this out for the price , then buy it . have my system professionally install by a Circuit City contractor . do a AMAZING job , know they stuff . they home theater system ? from Onkyo . maybe a bit higher on the spec scale , but still . +497 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I be not sure that it last more than a month . I do not use it much and be so disappointed that not only do I need to get a new dvd player , but I need a new stereo receiver since I replace my receiver when I get this system . I will have to look into that class action lawsuit . save you money do not buy this . the speaker seem pretty good though , so I would like to save they . +377 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I buy this because I have review and find out it be good for I to buy , I do not any product without review +221 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 it be be couple of day i have this product , i have both goods and bad to share . Goods : 1 -rrb- excellent sound quality 2 -rrb- very stylish 3 -rrb- ability to play all kind dvd 's , mp3 disc , VCD 's and of course regular cd 4 -rrb- sound be good enough for any bedroom or office room , but not for a big size living room 5 -rrb- have a pretty good AM\/FM tuner bad : 1 -rrb- what the heck a fan be do behind the reciever , I have play with so many music system but none have a fan -lrb- probably mean for cooling . -rrb- 2 -rrb- you can not use random feature with mp3 disc , i guess this be a very desirable feature . 3 -rrb- Wish there be a clock\/alarm feature 4 -rrb- Speaker wire be not lengthy enough for a decent size bedroom +337 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 what a piece of junk ! after have this system for about 9 month , I notice that the speaker start to make a loud snap , follow by loud crackling noise , and then would produce absolutely no sound for a few seconds . the snap would scare the daylight out of we as it be extremely loud and totally random . we have have it in for service twice by the panasonic-authorized dealer that Panasonic refer we to . the second time we be tell that the part be on backorder from Panasonic . that be almost 2 month ago . so , we system have be sit at the shop for 2 month . avoid THIS SYSTEM at all cost !!! it have be nothing but a hassle and repair from the panasonic-authorized dealer have be a nightmare . frankly , I can not believe that people would pay over $ 50 for a system with known problem , as clearly evidence by all of the other reviewer that have have the same exact problem . I guess Panasonic be to cheap to put out a recall . +733 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this be the second Panasonic system I have own , and just like the previous one , I find that the sound be a little muffle -lrb- especially when compare to a Sony system -rrb- . also the sound output level be barely sufficient for watch dvd -lrb- it be not uncommon to turn the volume all the way up when watch a movie -rrb- . other than that the unit look great , especially with the tall speaker stand , the bezel be very attractive , and the remote be quite nice look too , except for the large battery compartment . +33 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I have have this system for a year now and use the dvd\/cd on a daily basis and all weekend . sound be great , Video and dvd work very well . Easy to connect . enjoy it so much I replace my television with a Magnavox tv . for a apartment system you can not beat the price nor the clarity . +196 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I buy this model about a year ago . a year ago , I would have give it 4 star . I like that it be small , and the blue light on the face be very attractive . the speaker sound good and the dvd player function fine at first . the thing I notice immediately be that the JVC xv-thm45 would stall during dvd play if there be the slightest blemish or dirt mark on the dvd . never have that problem with my old Panasonic -lrb- which I give away to my parent -rrb- . and when I say stall , I mean it will pause with a jumbled picture for a few minute sometimes right in the middle of a movie . I have to stop , start the movie again from the beginning and skip past the blemish if I can not clean the disk adequately enough for the machine . sometimes , there be not even anythign visibly wrong with the disc . another difficulty I have be I could not receive even the strongest radio station adequately on the FM radio , and I live in a major metropolitan area . so I go to best buy and buy a $ 60 power FM attenna and attach it to the attenna jack in the back . it do not improve the signal whatsoever , not a bit . well , I have another radio in the living room , so I be annoy that I have waste the money , but could get past it . then about 6 month after purchase the player , I notice it would often stop recognize dvd 's if they be insert into the 1st disc position . any other slot work fine . whatever , it be annoying , but I could live with it - it just become a 4-disc changer instead of 5 . now , it be a year into it . Tonight , I go to play a dvd and the machine do not respond to certain button on the remote - namely all the button that control the dvd player . all the menu and navigation button , pause , rewind , play , stop , etc. . the volume and power button work fine . that mean I can no longer navigate dvd menu . that be not a workable situation . so in short , this product have major durability issue . I do not have anything against JVC , and this be the first time a buy a jvc-anything , but it will be the last . it be extremely frustrating when a expensive piece of equipment crap out left and right . it would not make economical sense to fix it . so I spend ~ $ 200 on a piece of equipment that last a year . so here 's my advice to you : 1 . definitely do not buy a JVC xv-thm45 2 . do not buy a product unless you read several review that comment on it be long-term durability -lrb- I guess 1 year be long-term -rrb- . Let 's face it , most thing work fine out of the box , and everyone be proud of the decision they have make , so they'er go to rate it high . but if no one be say `` it be be a year and I love this product '' , think twice . now , onto my search for a replacement dvd player . +353 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I have a Logitech 5.1 system and need a basic mount that would match the style of the speaker while not look too obstrusive . these mount fit the bill . though the mount come with a variety of screw , bolt and fastener , I end up have to buy other which fit my particular speaker . I chalk that up to Logitech , not the mount themselves . once mount on the wall , I like the amount of adjustment that be possible with the mount . it help when you be look to direct the speaker at a particular spot . my speaker be small , say 4 '' wide by 6-7 '' high and 4 '' deep so the plastic mount do not seem to be under a lot of stress . but if you have larger or heavier speaker , I would look elsewhere . I recommend this product to anyone with smaller speaker !!! +62 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 these mount be very good for sony speaker . these mount be flexible to set up in any direction and come with all the require accessory . +723 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 could not get the theater to hook up with my network after hour of attempt . Sony 's theater hook up to my network flawlessly , everything do within one hour . I send the Samysung back . +828 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 we buy this home theater system for Christmas and have be nothing but impressed . the sound quality be absolutly wonderful . I highly recommend it if you like thing loud . plus I do not think that we would use the 5 disk dvd player , but now I find it useful and glad that we go with the 5 disk dvd player . +391 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I think this product be great for the price . I be compare it to the sony 1000watt and i believe the 700watt be louder and clearer than the sony 1000watt . I can turn the volume all the way up and its still clear ! I wish I would have buy the 1000watt version of it tho : -lrb- I bet that one realy rock ! +393 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 yep it be a decent set for the money , but since the dt decoding be flaw , I would not bother if you enjoy DTS . how be it flaw , you may ask ? let I tell you . Play a movie with strong bass in it in Dolby 5.1 , and then switch to DTS . where do the bass go ? you want a example ? try Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition . the part where Sauron get kill at the start and there be this bass-heavy ` tidal-wave ' across the soldier . lot of lovely bass in 5.1 , and nothing in DTS . useless . same story with all dt movie . you can do better . . +640 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this home theater its great , have awesome sound quality and very easy to setup , remote very small and handy , System it be easy to use , great Deal +709 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 great sound , super easy setup , look nice . my recommendation be save the box as long as you can . I do have a problem with the volume indicator light go out right after I throw out the box . I read other people review that have have the same problem also with the light . I do reset they or get they to work again after a post state that you disconnect the power and hold the power button for about a minute . they work for the rest of that day but do not the next time I use it , and be I be unable to get they after that . so I call Vizio explain the problem and I have to send the entire system back , -lrb- not just the bar itself -rrb- , I be lucky to find a large enough box to repack everything in . they send I a prepaid shipping label to send it back via fedex , so I be await the new system and hopefully it will not have the same problem . +428 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I never expect panasonic product to work just for 2 year . it break down exactly in 2 year . the main carousel changer start malfunction . the dvd player use to get stick ... overall ... bad product ... bad investment , ... Dont buy it ! +27 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 the ht-ddw660 have excellent sound quality include digital cinema sound , which make it sound like a movie theater . it have Dolby prologic , Dolby prologic II , Dolby Digital , and Digital DTS surround sound . my opinion be that Sony speaker sound better than bo speaker . it have 420 watt total system power . it have two analog input and a optical and coax digital input . this be all you need to transform you tv in to a complete home theater . I guarantee you will love it as much as I do !!! +125 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 ... cause I do not believe it either . Quincy Jones + Studio Level speaker mfgr = quality I do not expect at a value I could never get through normal channel . I be not a audiophile , but these create a better sound space than my local movie theater . I do not plan to add surround sound to my flat-screen till I find these , but now I actually look forward to sit down to the sound as much as the picture with my new flat screen . for the first few week , we turn around on several occassion think someone might be in the house , when we hear a particularly clear back noise . it be eerie . on the older silver line set that I own , lab analysis show a nice , even sound across all bandwidth except for a narrow drop off just below the voice range . when I first buy these I think I could hear that difference play the same song back and forth with my home audio system . now I do not hear it , but I think I have just get use to it . of course my home audio system can not touch the clean simplicity of the high on ribbon technology speaker . as a point of comparison , when I sit in the comfy leather chair at Best-Buy to watch they top of the line set up , the sound be a little bit richer and beefier than this set up will deliver . still , these be not toy themselves . at 110 pound there be a lot of mass in speaker magnet . when I come home to this I be very satisfied with this sound . it be way beyond the cheese-factor of a typical home theater in a box , convey movie sound track and football game well enough to entrance -lrb- too well - I have gain 20 pound -rrb- and the sense of thing move in space be believable and real . for I it be clear enough that I have save hundred on movie I now watch at home instead of in the theater . I think the way they can do this so cheaply be by not chase the most recent audio format\/standard on the receiver . you 'll notice Dolby do not say `` dolby-hd . '' note too that there be no build disc player , etc. . just sound stuff : a tuner and a amplifier . to my ear the quality of these speaker contribute a lot more than anything in the latest dt or Dolby standard and , with good speaker , I can not tell the difference . if you ear can tell the difference deliver by the most recent standard you may want to upgrade the receiver at some point and keep the speaker , or you may be able to hear thing I can not and need to be shop in the 3-5k range . I love mine just as it be . they clearly have find a affordable way to harness ribbon technology too . I remember in the 80 's giant ribbon tech speaker be ultra high-end . note too that there be no hdmus pass-through connection on the back . that may be a deal breaker for some , it work fine for I . I just connect the optical port out of my tv to the optical in on this receiver . so , for blu-ray disc my bd player connect directly to the tv with hdmus and the tv connect to this receiver via optical . Works for I . the lack of hdmus pass through be probably another way they manage to keep the cost this low . I have trouble believe you could get sound this good at this cost . if I have not find the audio response datum , I would have assume the positive reviewer just do not know sound . I take a risk and be well reward . I be no audiophile myself but my sense be I could get this quality , more connection , and maybe a little more volume if I be willing to spend about $ 2k on something else . Hope that help . +865 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I have have this Sony now for about 3 month and be not satisfy with this system . here be what I do not like about it . 1 . in dvd mode , this system be actually pretty decent . but once you switch it to tv mode when watch regular tv , it suck . I end up turn up my bass a lot in tv mode and turn it down a lot in dvd mode . why be the dvd mode so good and all other mode so bad ? this get really annoying as adjust the bass be not easy to do -lrb- see # 2 -rrb- . 2 . Sony make it really difficult to adjust the bass -lrb- which I end up do frequently -rrb- . although there be a `` woofer '' button on the remote , you can only adjust the bass when you be in dvd mode with no disc playing . why ? I have no idea , it be just so odd . 3 . I plug my ipod into the system and the sound suck bad . I mean really bad . I think my ipod be break . so to reiterate , do not buy this system . there be other system you can buy for around the same price that have better quality . do not get I wrong , I be not look for earth shatter bass or anything like that . I just want consistent decent quality sound on all different function -lrb- dvd , tv , etc. . . -rrb- . this systmem be only good in dvd mode . +127 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 short Version : never really get 5.1 surround work . I spend way too much time fiddle with this as it be . longer Version : I purchase this with the hope of get a easy , affordable surround sound system into my house . I do not like a\/v system and I just want something easy and decent . after bring it home , and hook it up to my system , I come to find out that I can not get surround sound from the xbox or my BluRay player . therefore , I will be return this over the weekend . I have both the BluRay player and xbox go into my Vizio tv via HDMI . I have a optical audio cable from the tv to this soundbar . however , while I can hear 2.1 sound easily , I can not get the soundbar to acknowledge the 5.1 sound stream . I have play with the setting of all of my device . this be a no go . who know what the problem be -lrb- maybe it be I -rrb- but it should not be this hard . UPDATE : turn out I can get Dolby Digital to work , but not dt . remember , the intent of this soundbar be to route all sound through the tv and then out to the soundbar . my tv , a Vizio VL420M , be not capable of carry the dt signal from my BluRay to the soundbar . if I plug the BluRay player directly into the soundbar -lrb- via optical -rrb- then I hear dt 5.1 not sure who to `` blame '' here , but the current setup be not compatible . +633 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 after about two year the player destroy a new dvd . the changer mess up and will not eject the other disk in the player . after it be take apart and the other disk remove my dad find that a small mod will make it a single disk player but still usable . still have great sound but only a single disk player . +427 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I just buy one of these without the benefit of actually have see it plug into a tv . -lrb- after buy a apex model that I love except for the fact that it break down after a hour of use ! -rrb- the panasonic work well for dvd , although it lack some of the wizardry of the Apex unit -lrb- for example , the ability to zoom the picture -rrb- . but I think most `` mainstream '' player be behind on thing like this , at least those in the lower-end of the market . the system play mp3 well in term of audio , but be warn -- it do not seem to have a user interface for mp3 or cd playback . when I put a cd-r with a number of mp3 in folder in , it play it as if it be a CD , one track after another with no screen display . this mean it be great if you have a lot of song and just want to play they one after another , but not good if you want to be able to select song arbitrarily . I be also disappoint by the lack of video in jack on the unit . instead , the system require that you route all video directly to the tv , and then use the audio out jack on the tv to feed to the dvd\/home theater . this get pretty complicate in my situation . -lrb- tv , VCR , Cassette Deck , Digital Cable Box , and the ht70 . -rrb- basically the only way I could make it work use the s-video port on the tv for the dvd player , and use the rca video port for the VCR , which unfortunately require use a menu on the tv to switch between the input . would be simpler if my tv have more aux video port , but it would be nicer if the home theater unit could act as a central hub for all other component . -lrb- be also frustrate by the fact that I now have three remote that all claim to be `` universal , '' yet be find no matter how much twiddle I do with they , I still need all three to actually manipulate the entertainment system ! but Panasonic only get 1\/3 of the blame on that one . -rrb- overall , I think the unit be probably a pretty good bet if you want a simple box that be competent at many thing . but if you be look for fancy feature , this may not be the best choice . - David Dwiggins +788 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I buy this home theater system from Philips last year and it work fine for about 14 month , and then suddenly it would not read disc any more . any disc . I try dozen of clean disc but each time the display would read `` no disc '' . the warranty only last one year so I be out of luck . do not make the same mistake I do - do not buy this system . try another , more reliable brand . Philips just do not cut it . +708 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 FM tuner be horrible . but by far the biggest problem be that there be essentially ZERO bass when use the input for other device -lrb- ipod , airport express itune streaming , etc. -rrb- and the bass be NOT ADJUSTABLE when use any of these mode . so all other source besides the built-in dvd sound tinny and ridiculous . incredibly poor design . +775 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I also purchase this system , and have experience the same problem the fellow from Kentucky do ; only I still have a picture after the sound go out . I have not yet speak to Panasonic about this . I would like to find out how the guy from Kentucky know this be a known problem . it do not do that until after a couple of month after we purchase the unit . have I know this , I would not have purchase this model . +655 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 good price\/quality . the satellite speaker could be in wooden box though . my manual come in German , but as far as I could understand it , I should have get a euro\/scart cable to connect to a tv set , but there be not one . have a lot of different input and that be the Daewoo 's major advantage over the competition . it be the main reason i buy it . a complete Dolby Digital reciver with all the necessary input and output , integrate with a dvd player ! 5x30 w should be enough for a home cinema . Subwoofer have 50 W. Remote control be include , of course . +559 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 we be not audio-video `` heavy '' , but we be write this review in the hope that it may help other like we . we purchase this item because of the excellent review in a recent `` Consumer Reports '' . the Amazon price be the best we could find -lrb- as usual ! -rrb- , and the item arrive very quickly -lrb- again , as usual ! -rrb- . here be some advice for other who be consider this item : 1 . the Amazon description would benefit from additional word that clarify which additional cable -lrb- s -rrb- a buyer might need . in we case , we discover only after the Vizio arrive , that we new Panasonic 50 '' plasma do not have a `` audio out '' that the vizio-included `` rca cable '' require -lrb- we learn later that this might be typical of most recent hdtv -rrb- . also , the Vizio do not accept HDMI , so we need something call a `` optical cable '' . it would be wonderful if Vizio include a Optical Cable with this product . the cable cost we under $ 5 here at Amazon , and even if Vizio have to increase they price by $ 5 it would be a good marketing move that would save they tech support time , especially since the Vizio manual suggest Optical as the best approach . 2 . the Vizio manual make no mention of the possible need to tweak some audio setting on you tv in order to get the Vizio speaker and sub-woofer to produce sound . it take a lengthy call to Vizio tech support before the support person finally suggest this as a possibility . perhaps more experienced audiophile would have know this stuff right away , but we sure do not . one example of the tweaking : we need to `` turn off the internal speaker '' via the tv 's menu -lrb- this sure make sense to we , once we learn it be necessary ! -rrb- . we also need to select one specific Vizio remote control option . if such item have be indicate as possibility in the Vizio manual it sure would have make we experience a lot smoother and quicker , and it would have save the Vizio tech support folk some effort . now that we have everything running , we be delighted with the sound quality the Vizio produce , and with the value . we can not believe the improvement compare to the Panasonic 's internal audio -lrb- we would be happy with that till we hear the Vizio ! -rrb- . we hope the above be helpful ... +129 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 excellent product , good quality very good dispatch receive everything the right way . recommend 100 % smoothly . thanks for everything , warm greeting from VENEZUELA +209 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 when I walk into the bose store and hear this system playing , I be overwhelm . the crispness of the sound , frequency range , sound distribution , powerful bass ... I immediately ask for a personal demo , and I be even more perplexed when they give I the regular bose design demo where they show you the wonder that this system can do . the surround sound be magnificent , and even if you have a mono or stereo recording it will simulate the surround sound in the greatest way I could have imagine . I could not believe that I be listen to a 50 's mono record in full surround sound at one point , and it sound excellent ! the demo of how the bass seem to come from the little speaker instead of the subwoofer be also very impressive . you hear the powerful and rich bass come from this tiny speaker , but when they cover the woofer on the subwoofer you notice the bass be go , even though it seem to be come from the little speaker ! Pretty cool stuff . not to mention these tiny speaker produce a sound that be better than regular speaker that be 10 time the size . bose really hit a home run with this technology , and if you be consider it you definitely should go for it . I have never listen to music like I do now . it be a totally new experience . as for the new system with 6 CD Changer or dvd player , it be you choice . I buy this unit because I just want the speaker and a receiver to connect my dvd player\/mp3 player\/computer to -lrb- although it do have a CD player -rrb- , and this system be great for that , at the best price for a lifetime system . if you do not have you own dvd player and you want to use it for that you may want to consider the other . also , there be newer model of the lifestyle system that come with some new speaker -lrb- jewel -rrb- that be even smaller -lrb- and more expensive -rrb- . I try these new system and I notice the small speaker could not produce a sound as crisp and rich as the lifestyle 12 speaker . the sound be much more metallic , like a cymbal , instead of be rich and velvety . if you be try to decide , do not let this factor influence you in you decision . just go for the one that be right for you price range and need . and above all , go visit a bose store and ask for a demo and listen for yourself ! +18 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I purchase this Samsung hw-c560 set a few day ago , which include the reciever , speaker , remote , ipod dock and cable . I hook it up to my Samsung Blu-Ray player with a Samsung 46 '' lcd . the good : - Center channel sound be not bad , very clear speech on movie . - include cable speaker be quite long , able to reach the back corner of the room . the Bad : - front l and r speaker and subwoofer bass can sound very `` boxy '' at time - play call of duty 4 on XBOX 360 be a huge disappointment . I expect the crisp and satisfying fidelity of bullet ping and ding , but the overall sound be mid\/bass heavy with muddy treble . what a waste of a awesome gaming experience . - the Audio Sound calibration -lrb- asc -rrb- device only make thing worse , and through calibrate my room make my rear speaker disturbingly loud , and the front speaker horridly quiet . - the ipod dock be counterintuitive , and completely unusable . have a party ? someone grab a ipod and say `` check out this song '' ? once the ipod be place into the dock , the iPod menu control be disabled , and you must navigate you library with you Samsung remote . in addition , once you have the remote in hand you navigate you song alphabetically , skip forward and backward to find you song . the display read 3 of 30,000 , 4 of 30,000 , etc. . seriously ? this make the ipod dock pointless , unusable , and be a inexcusable interface design flaw . - the Setup interface consist of one line of display text on the receiver unit . then to navigate the menu , you must refer to the print guide booklet to find you item in the menu of selection choice . alternatively , you can memorize the menu of selection choice , and blindly navigate the setup choice by hit up , DOWN , ENTER , RIGHT , RIGHT , ENTER ... and here we find yet another inexcusable design flaw . the Verdict : - if you have no interest in ever play you ipod through this system , and you do not mind bust out the guide booklet every time you want to fine-tune you speaker ... then sure , throw away $ 350ish on this mediocre hunk of plastic . +639 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I pick up the Samsung HT-P38 System from Circuit City and do not regret purchase it . after day of research for different high-end home theater system , most of which be in the category of more bang for you buck . I find this 800w 5.1 ch . ht which I think would be the perfect set up for my bedroom . First off , I be alittle frustrate by install the speaker . it get so out of place so time because the line be so long and there 6 of they all of which be stick within the back of my tv shelf so you can imagine it be a complete mess in there . I think the audio quality be fantastic and the amount of power it have for the low cost . it be a nice , clean sound system . the center be strong , the subwoofer be average but that okay if this be in you bedroom or a small living room , the front speaker be mighty powerful and the backend speaker provide fantastic sound effect -lrb- lotr for example be heavinly when play on this ht -rrb- . all in all , excellent sound quality , no complaint here . I be not expect much out of the quality but I do pick myself up some high quality component cable -lrb- the best for any ht -rrb- at the price of $ 40 at Circuit City and I watch on a 27 ' Samsung Widescreen HDTV . the dvd player be indeed progressive scan , I would not say the quality be terrific but all the color be in place and be very satisfied . I have yet to watch more then a few movie but so far so good , a solid 5-disc dvd player . the style be one of the high point of this ht . the main system itself be verystylish when turn on . it be have a nice blue light out of the button shaft and just look great , even better when I have guest over . the subwoofer have a sexy but original look to it , it look absolutely picture perfect with my Samsung Widescreen HDTV . the speaker look very simple but they be more then meet the eye . they have a hole in the back specifically make so you can nail it on to a wall so you do not need to waste $ 15 + dollar on a speaker mount . all in all , for the power , the clear and rich sound , the crisp image , and stylish look there be not much to complain about other then set it up . so if you in the market for a good all around system at the right price , the Samsung ht-p38 be you best buy . +486 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this product be great ! I would call it a `` passive surround sound system '' since it be perfect for background sound -lrb- while read a book or have a chat -rrb- that will not annoy you due to too much subwoofer power . it be not recommend as a audio system for dance party since it be really design for tv surround sound and background music only . the subwoofer be not that intensive but very pleasant since it do not shake up you furniture . you can leave the system on even when you be watch news channel without get annoy by too much and intensive sound . +774 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 outstanding system for a modest budget . I purchase this system for 400 and tax from Circuit City . the handling of dvd surround be superb and it bring movie to life ; as be stereo music from CD . the radio receiver be also outstanding . I be listen to my CD collection with new ear . it be my first home theater purchase and this be a terrific system for under $ 500 . it have plenty of input for component connectivity : 4 digital audio , 3 video -lrb- each with component , s-video and composite -rrb- , analog 5.1 surround input , analog input for cd and tape . the remote have a large number of function and control my exist tv\/dvd player\/vcr after enter the appropriate remote code -lrb- list in the Onkyo manual -rrb- . it take a little while to get use to but it be very functional . I have yet to try out all the DSP mode but PLIIx Movie for Dolby encode dvd sound great . cd sound just fine in Stereo or all Channel Stereo . the subwoofer be rate from 30Hz to 150Hz and certainly seem to be do its job right . the center and front speaker sound great right through the spectrum . the front and center speaker be on the big side -lrb- compare to other comparable system -rrb- but the sound be big too - I guess the wooden speaker cabinet help . the include speaker wire may be a bit short to run the wire along the side and up the wall . in addition to what be in the box , you 'll need to buy cable to hook up you dvd player with surround at a minimum -lrb- buy coax digital , you can get good cable for under 10 dollar -rrb- . one thing to note be that it will not switch video format - e.g. , if the input be component video it will output component video and if you switch to another input in s-video then the output will also be s-video . so video switching really make sense only if you have all you video source capable of component video . you might as well leave it connect to you tv and just route the audio through the receiver . this be a great treat for my family and I this holiday season , and if you buy it I hope you enjoy it as much as we do . +366 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this product be a great value . I watch x-man 2 last night and the sound be incredible . it be easy to install , but if you have a cable box be sure to use the direction come with the cable box because the direction that come with the unit be poor -lrb- just a diagram that show EVERY type of configuration on one page -rrb- . also , the sub-woofer come with a annoying sticker on it that take 1\/2 a hour to get off . I highly recommend this unit for sound quality and price . +648 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 bose Lifestyle t20 home theater system -- black I go to the online site and develop a complaint record use they online system . I do not get any response from there in few day I call up they call center . the person in the call center go through some series of step . . which i have already do myself earlier but to no result . my system be just blinking a red light and have stop work . the person ask if I have buy the system from a reseller or bose directly . there be a whole series of confusion around that which i could not understand . but he tell I that it will take I two week to repair . I say that I have purchase from the Bose Store at Commons Way , Bridgewater and I can reach they . on this he suggest that I just need to carry the console and walk to the place , and they will replace the system . he do not advice I to take my remote with I . when I reach the store , the store tell I that I should have buy my remote with I . I say the person on the phone do not ask I to do that , and they be a complete confusion wherein the store guy tell I that I need to go back and bring the remote . they say that they dont stock this product in display . . meanwhile I keep tell they about my conversation with the phone and they could not understand , I show they the complaint number , and this lead to further confusion . by this time I be completely exhaust , feel frustrated and think why I even buy this at first place . here be the conclusion that I have from this . . 1 . Boss -lrb- bose -rrb- be always right . 2 . in case if you have any confusion , please follow rule 1 . I think the entire way of try to prove that I be wrong . . seem too much for I . I wish I dont have to deal with they . I decide to complain about this whole thing and call up the call center . go through another round of confusion and finally the guy say how can I make you happy . . all i say be . . let I hang up . best Vivek +883 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 this systom be a piese of crap , you turn it on it may or maynot work , very poor sound qulity , very small specker and remote . Vol . be so low I have to turn up tv to hear it . I would not recamend this to any one . thanks for reading my REVIEW +345 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 this unit look great , sound great , and the price be unbeatable . the overheating seem to be cause a lot of people problem , if not for that I would give this unit 5 star . if you have some gut and some basic knowledge about electricity and electronics you can avoid these problem . I get a really good deal on one , then find out about the overheating . not want this to be a problem I decide to investigate . I pop off the back panel of the sub to find that the fan be not actually work . I imagine that it be suppose to kick on when thing start get hot , but my unit be already really hot . the heatsink inside be almost too hot to touch . the fan be 80mm so I take a standard lead case fan and replace the stock one . the stock one have some non standard screw hole so I have to use some strong adhesive foam tape to hold the new fan in place . then I run the wire outside the sub and rig up a small ac\/dc power adapter to power the fan . it take about 30 minute to do and now my unit run very cool , and have a cool look blue glow on the wall come from the fan to boot . you could just use the stock fan and rig up a adapter to it but I do not want to cut off the connector in case I need to take the unit back . for the adapter use something between 7 and 12 volt , lower voltage = quiter fan but less airflow . if you do not want to open it up , you could just mount a fan right on the outside of the vent . I think the major problem be there be a defect in the board that do not turn the fan on , and you do not want a bunch of really hot electronics with no airflow . +439 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 well the old say go , ya get what ya pay for but if I be rca I would be embarrass to etch my name on this one . this thing pretty much suck . the worst part be the remote control . I be not sure why they even put one in the box as it be completely ineffective except maybe as a weapon to throw at the dog . if it be up to I we should all box they up and ship they back to China so it could drive they user crazy !!! +16 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 just unboxed the MartinLogan MLT-2 Home Theatre , and I be so far blow away by the quality and construction of the entire unit . when this unit pop up on Amazon for $ 399 during the black Friday sale , I too be somewhat skeptical b\/c I could not find any real info or review . since the purchase I contact MartinLogan and ask about this setup , and they let I know this be not make in house-but rather make in China . they do stand behind the product , and feel even at the retail of $ 1,299 its still a amazing set . for more info visit : -lrb- ... -rrb- for a receiver I purchase the Pioneer vsx-1020-k 7.1 Home Theater I will post full sound detail shortly . +917 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I purchase this unit because I want the 4 hdmus switching and think I would stick with Samsung since I like they display . the unit have decent feature and a attractive design . however , after set it up I discover that when view content from my dvr , if I pause , rewound or forward the audio would take 4 seconds to sync up . the Samsung be replace a Yamaha receiver and I do not have this issue with the Yamaha . I also have a problem with the unit not remember any setting I program -lrb- memory would wipe when power off -rrb- . I contact Samsung support via email , and do not ever receive a reply . I return the unit to Amazon and replace it with a Onkyo system that I have have good result with . +408 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 love this thing sound quality be clear the base be strong I think it be go to be weak but I be wrong . +75 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I notice in some review , other be have issue with hd resolution , when run hdmus out from the Tivo hd -lrb- series 3 -rrb- to the Yamaha yht-s400 system , and pass trough the video via hdmus from the Yamaha to the tv . -lrb- the resolution be be bump down to 720 from 1080us -rrb- . since there be a lightning deal for this item at only $ 250 , I take a chance , think I could get thing to work . I hook it up , run hdmus from the Tivo to the tv directly , and then run separate audio from the Tivo 's digital out -lrb- toslink -rrb- , to the yht-s400 . on the plus side , this solve all video hd issue , and the 3:1 sound , sound great . on the negative side , when change channel on the tivo , as the receiver figure out each channel digital audio signal , it send a second-long static buzz through the speaker . this get annoying quickly when you be flip through the channel and get this jarring sound every time you switch . I have run this Tivo and other series-3 hd tivo through other 5.1 receiver , and never have this problem . so I be send the Yamaha back . +25 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 i buy this denon home theater package 30 day ago , i must say i be pleased with the excellent sound and the fairly intuitive ajustment on the reciever . the subwolfer be all you need and be very good . the rest of the speaker be fair at best . i buy a pair of energy cb-5 , put they in front , the front denon go to the suround back position , i have it set up to be a 7.1 use a external amp and replace the center channel speaker with a definitive technology 1000 . i could not be happier with front three now . in time i will buy another pair of energy cb-5 to replace the small denon suround in this 7.1 setup . i can recomend this system as a solid buy @ $ 350.00 or less but any more and i would buy just the reciever and add my own speaker , i recommend energy or definitive technology as these be great choice . also amazon have be great to deal with so a hat off and thank you amazon ! +192 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 use they with my Sony cube speaker and they be PERFECT . I would not put anything larger on they . +725 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 this be a complaint about the Panasonic sc-ht733 home theater system . this system repeatedly shut itself off for no apparent reason . Panasonic have I take it twice to a local electronic store under warranty but they be unable to fix it . I ultimately return it through the merchant and buy another brand . I will never buy any Panasonic product again , not because it be defective , but because of the way Panasonic address the problem . it be a big problem to disconnect everything and take it in while they perform trial and error . Panasonic should have just replace it . I do not like the attitude of anyone I speak with there . I also be not even able to complain directly to the company . on the phone they give I a case number and never follow up . a online feedback form do not work . I be through with this company . +969 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I get it this thanks give . I be keen on get one and be wait for a decent deal . finally get it for $ 199 . a great price for this system . it take I less than a hour to set it all up . sound clarity be great ! I use it my living room -lrb- 15x25 foot -rrb- and it sound really nice . the only negative be that speakers\/woofer connect thro the dvd player which mean you can not use it while play tv\/cable\/vcr . but that could be easily fix - I have to get a audio-video cable -lrb- for 3 buck -rrb- to give my tv output to the dvd player and it work just fine . overall , a excellent home theater system ! +293 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 well i get this a few month back to replace a 15 yr old system i have well uip til last week it work fine now no dvd will read and i keep have to open and close the tray in hope it will read disc ... this have not be damage and basically have sit so im not sure what go wrong ... i can return to amazon for a partial credit ? huh ? i feel rob and wish i would have never get this +222 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 exactly what I be look for . great price , delivery and support . +407 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 great stuff . look around and think the pioneer be best , buy this on sale for a little over 400 and consider it worth every penny . about 35 minute setup time . only complaint be that I have to go out and buy addtional cord to hook it up to my tv for tv sound , but that be more a complaint with all of these `` out of the box '' system . it really have terrific sound -- deep and solid bass and the raindrop in Forest Gump -lrb- Vietnam scene -rrb- be crystal clear . the picture be equally as clear . would definately recomend to a friend . +626 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 pro - when it work : - great sound - lot of functionality - good look - be connect : internet radio , automatic firmware upgrade download , online user forum -lrb- see below -rrb- con : - dvd door stick open , will not read dvd at all - if it do read a dvd , it crash 1\/2 to 2\/3 of the way through it - unable to stream video from the pc over 1.2 mbp bitrate , mean you can not stream dvd quality movie at all - streaming of content at any bitrate , from pc or web , periodically crash and require system reboot -lrb- especially annoying when use the internet radio during a dance party ... -rrb- - System will not play through multiple disc in sequence nor will it shuffle across disc - occasionally system will not play disc at all and need to be reset -lrb- unplug power for 30 seconds , then reconnect hold standby button push down -rrb- my unit have be at the authorized service center for 4 month now , wait for a new motherboard - it be backorder , and Philips will not tell the service center or I how long it will take . I have call Philips several time : each time they promise someone in Consumer Relations will call back , but no-one ever have . some of the issue may be solve in future firmware upgrade , but the company do not publish what will be include nor when it will be available . for more information on user ' experience with this system , check out the online forum accessible through Philips ' website . you 'll see the issue I outline above be common to this model - mine be not a isolate case ! on balance , I would have shop around more before buy . if I could start again , would settle on a more robust pure home theater system together with a dedicated streaming media device . +484 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 overall I be very pleased with the Panasonic sc-ht640w 5 dvd home Theater System . it sound great and be a great value for its price . it be extremely convenient not to have wire to the rear speaker . I do wish the rear volume be a bit louder , but again a minor problem for I . for those who have a wireless router -lrb- computer signal -rrb- you will likely get interference from the Panasonic Home Theater System . I do not have the spec on the home theater system , but it must also run on wireless Channel 6 , which be the same default signal for my wireless router . if this be you problem -lrb- drop wireless signal on computer -rrb- , you will need to reconfigure you wireless router to another channel . usually a wireless router have channel 1-11 . I set mine to channel 1 and now both system work fine . +521 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 while this player recognize and play back dvd-r and dvd-rw , it would stop and stutter at various play point . very annoying . these same disk play in about five other brand I test without stutter -lrb- Pioneer , Apex , Toshiba ... -rrb- I get this ... open-box item at a north Seattle best buy , but I still have to take it back -- too bad . the price be very good and the surround sound be pretty good . +686 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 when i first hook it up and test it , it sound a little weak , but i go through the menu and everything be turn down , like the volume for the speaker and subwoofer , once i put it up the sound be amazing , the bass come from the woofer seem like a 100 watt system rather than a 70 . i reccommend this for any room small or large , you will not be dissapointed especially at this price . +233 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be the perfect solution for a mediumish room and if you do not want to run a bunch of wire . the integrate sub in the receiver be genius level . we use it in we upstairs live room just to give we a little extra umph for we movie while the kid watch they stuff downstairs on the big system . +394 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I recently purchase at circuit city , $ 50 less than amazon.com . I think they be partner ? the dvd player do not work but return be no problem . the sound be very clear and the bass be strong . I have to keep the bass turn down due to apartment living . Hookup be kind of a pain . once I discard the direction and use logic it work . Remote for the dvd be a bit poor as one button act as leave , right , up , down and enter . it be easy to hit enter unintentionally . I do not think the product description make it clear but this be also a am\/fm tuner . overall , I be very satisfied and would buy it again . +638 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be a steal at $ 199.00 . I purchase this system as a gift for my mom . this be a awesome system for someone who want surround sound but do not want a sub woofer that be go to rattle the wall . I can not believe the clear and well balanced sound that come out of the speaker . we hook up a dvd player and dish receiver to the system . if you use a optical cord , you do not have to switch the receiver back and forth to the dvd player and dish receiver . the switch be automatically do . all and all if you look for a excellent system and do not want to spend a lot of money , this be the one to get !! +11 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 first , Samsung could pack it much better . I have to return the first unit because of a huge dent on the dvd chassis . Amazon send a replacement next business day so I would not complain much about this . I do not expect it perform as $ 1000-htsystems when I place my order . but I have to say it perform pretty well consider it be a sub - $ 250 system . pro : 1 . adequate power to accommodate a small\/med-size living room or a bedroom . -lrb- 80watt x5speaker and 100watt x 1 subwoofer , total of 500wrm -rrb- 2 . progressive scan and 3-2 pull down . pq be really good . 3 . multi-language support for mp3 disc . not sure of what language be support . so far i be able to use cdr 's in Japanese , Korean and English . -lrb- mp3 guus could be better . -rrb- 4 . chassis fan to cool off the unit . 5 . customizable menu background . con : 1 . no Coaxial Digital Audio input . -lrb- it do have a optical input . -rrb- 2 . it cut off signal from other source whenever disc eject button be press even though you be not watch dvd movie . 3 . no component cable ? i would not use theirs but still ... 4 . remote control have a lot of room to improve . 5 . proprietary speaker connector and wire . despite it lack some of feature ; db600 be a definite keeper for I . you can not simply beat the value , performance and feature of this ht . \*\*\* Update \*\*\* after a month of use , i be love it . i do not know if there be any other ht -lrb- under $ 200 -rrb- do everything db600 do . you will love dvd movie with dt . it bring a theater-like experience to you living room . yet i still think they remote control be worst thing i have ever see . it probably have a range of 15 degree off of any axis otherwise it 'll not work . the reviewer above say there be no audio output . well , there `` be '' one . a headphone jack be located in front of the unit . so with a right cable , you should be able to output audio to any device . but then why would you want to copy a dvd to VHS ? not to mention Macrovision will prevent you from copy dvd anyway . if you still need copying feature , you might want to check out Zenith XBS344 HTS . it have a dvd\/vhs combo player and cost about the same . +296 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I be 14 and you should read this before think about buy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this look pretty cool but like most item it get old really fast ! there be many thing you can do with it and I think it be really hard to put together because there be so many wire . this system have good sound and it go fairly loud . if you want a a nice system I would not pick this Audiovox . only get this item if you want a small surrond sytem for you room . it be good for party and for watch some movie if that what you look for . +544 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this be a excellent buy for a home theater system . Kenwood have always be on top of the game when it come to sterio . my only real complaint about this system be the speaker -lrb- not the way they sound -rrb- , the way they look . they be kinda ugly without the cover on they . besides that the system be wonderful , powerfull , and it give you plenty of control over the sound to suit you need . if you be look for a home Theater and can not afford a system like BOSE , than this be a great buy . `` Consumer Reports '' also rate this system very high , 3rd or 4th on they list . not bad at all ! +249 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 well , when I unpack the box of this rather inexpensive home theater and take the fifteen or so minute to hook it up , I have less than fantastic expectation . I be thrill to hear the quality of the sound when I finally sit down to watch a movie with the new system , but disturb when I find out that the loud , booming theater-like audio salvo that be assault my apartment be the product of volume level one . the scale go to over thirty , I believe -lrb- and I can only imagine who would take it up that high -rrb- , but , as you would suspect , there be nothing below one that produce any sound at all . I could not watch the movie that night ... or any night for that matter . if I have , I be sure the neighbor would have be beat down the door . it be far too loud for any but the most diehard of loud-theater-like sound fan . the manual and other review say adjust the `` Dynamic '' set within one of the menu help resolve this , but it do not seem to do much at all with the unit I purchase . the next day , I pack everything back into its box and return it to the retailer . I later purchase a similarly price Venturer model ... it be scale go to 100 , and one be nearly inaudible . much more control ... nearly the same sound quality . I would stay away from this model unless the room it will be install in be of massive proportion and you enjoy wipe blood from you ear . +485 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 go to any electronics store and you 'll hear they say , `` do not buy Koss '' . while some review site that one person think be `` the authority '' say it be quality , review site do not use the product beyond a initial test . I have own mine for three month , and originally , I think I get quite a steal . now the thing be dead , nothing more than awkward paperweight . whatever you do , do yourself a favor , save up a extra month or two and buy a quality sound system . do some research even beyond this site and you will find that Koss be a huge waste of you money . +746 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 it be good but , REAL SMALL and the BUILT in RADIO DOES NOT work sometime . the seller be SUPPER AAAA . +581 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I be loving this system . I buy it to go with my new Samsung 55 '' lead lcd tv and I do not regret it . I have a knowledgable friend set it all up so I do not know about ease of set up . people be right about the slow response to the remote . once I get use to it , it be no big deal . I have watch a 3d movie on it and catch myself dodge bird that be not really there . blu-ray movie be awesome too . I have use the Netflix and Pandora feature and I be really impressed . the wireless rear speaker be great but I be experience problem with they fading in and out which can get quite annoying . not sure what the issue be there but I be sure there be a solution on line somewhere . I get a good price on Amazon with FedEx Home delivery . this blu-ray player surround system -lrb- and my Samsung tv -rrb- have raise my movie view to a whole new level . +823 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 this be my first surround sound home theater . I use it in a small apartment living room . I be by no mean a audiophile . I buy this model at a local electronics retailer . I end up exchange it for another unit of the same model because the dvd player skip . the one new unit have a completely separate problem : the color would periodically fade from the picture while watch dvd , a problem which I trace to the receiver 's s-video output port . I end up return the second unit for a full refund . despite my experience with the ht-p38 , I be willing to acknowledge that I just have really bad luck . despite that possiblity , this model have other drawback that I be not willing to live with . the biggest drawback be that despite have a 5-disc carousel , if you be watch a dvd or listen to a cd and want to fill a empty tray , it stop the playback ; you can not `` play and exchange '' with this model . in my mind , there be no point in have a multiple disc tray if you can not play and exchange . I end up buy a JVC th-c3 , which I be much happier with : higher wattage -lrb- which admittedly be not a accurage guage of performance -rrb- , better frequency range on the subwoofer , `` play and exchange '' capability , easy control of each of the speaker from the remote . +910 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 superb quality !!! clear sound and easy setup , great design and price ! like my tv , bd-rom and laptop , Sony proof again they quality control and engineering brain : -rrb- +773 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 there be a rather annoying problem regard the a\/v input which I initially think be originally a defect in my particular unit . however , it seem to be a problem with all t-352 model . when the function be set to Audio\/Video , the subwoofer rumble rather annoyingly , even when nothing be plug into the input . if you plug anything into the input , the sound still remain , and the only way to get rid of it be to set the bass volume to 0 . I do not know if it be a problem with the subwoofer or if it be just a feature , but the sound be nice and clear -lrb- with no low rumble -rrb- when play a cd or dvd directly through the unit . if you plan to connect you video game console or computer to these speaker , however , do prepare to be annoy . +594 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I install 2 of these system in 2 bedroom . each bedroom have a wall mount LG 32 '' 720p lcd tv . I find they on ebay for $ 79 . at that price I figure it be no big risk if it turn out to be junk . this setup be better than I anticipate and far better than listen to just the tv . certainly not the best you can do , but at $ 79 buck they be well worth the money . a blue-ray would have be nice , but again , be only talk about 79 dollar . I be sure most ht\/audio enthusiast would thumb they nose at this product , but that same person would be ready to spend much more $ $ $ for a better setup . +431 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 Easy to set up ... use in my home office . . so in small room ... but very satisfied with the sound !!!!! price be even better !!!! +108 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 solid unit with a nice universal remote include . good fm receiver , good dvd playback , powerful surround sound . it just `` feel '' like a well-built system . I have see cheaper unit for sale , but I do not regret pay a little extra for something of this quality . +239 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I be over all very pleased with this product . hook up be very easy and it even add some extra upscaling to the PS3 if you be hook it up to one . sound quality be great and the subwoofer be very powerful if you be someone look for that extra boom to you home theater . I would definitely recommend this because the price be not too good be true and this be a quality system . +120 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 the Panasonic Home Theater System be the best bang for you buck . the only negative drawback to this system be that it be not to be use as a digital amplifier for external system - however it will do a single l\/r analog input no problem . so if you want to hook you television , hi-fi or game console , into this unit then it will have to be do via a analog line . this mean if you be look for a amplifier for several input from other sound source then this be NOT for you and at the price it be clear that the item be intend for limited purpose and be not a full blow digital in\/out sound system -lrb- be prepare to pay the $ 600 + mark for these type of system that be only for advanced system setup -rrb- . although no true digital input be achievable you can always choose a digital OUT to analog in cable as a addition . however when all say and do I have my ps2 and tv hook up to this box use analog connection and it be fine and work but really the heart of this package be in the dvd player 's quality and the SOUND . the item have 3 front speaker , 2 surround and a woofer . the sound be sublime for the price . the picture quality be well above average and the functionality be pretty outstanding . the system be simple to setup -lrb- take I 20 minute out of the box -rrb- and can play nearly every dvd disc format -lrb- include mp3 , cd-r , cd-rw -rrb- and have several sound format to choose from -lrb- dt , Dolby Digital , Dolby pro Logic , Dolby Surround and Stereo -rrb- . also each sound format have several variation for room shape and size . you can also adjust the level of each speaker individually . the unit then give you multiple option for screen size , playback type , picture quality etc. . in short there be nothing this player be miss except for maybe some advanced feature like zoom in on frame . if you be look for a out-of-box home dvd theater system then this be the package to get . the tower also look funky and the ejection system be beautiful . I would encourage those who be look for a good dvd system and who do not want to spend unreal sum of money to give this one a try . it be far from disappointing . pro : 1 -rrb- great sound and a very nice speaker system to boot . 2 -rrb- multiple sound format and disc type can be play back on the unit . 3 -rrb- the dvd player have multiple option to choose from . 4 -rrb- the quality of the dvd image beat the XBOX or PS2 any day . con : 1 -rrb- load up time take a few seconds . 2 -rrb- no true digital in\/out . however for some reason I prefer the design of the Panasonic SC-DM3 Home Theater System and think it might even be a little better . +628 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I wait a while to get another home theater . the only problem I have with this system be that the sound be not as powerful as I want . the sound be very clear and , after some adjust with the tv set up , the picture be very clear . Cruthfield be a amazing place to deal with . they be fast and if you have a problem they will guide you over the phone have deal with they before . nice look system and if you want some more power add a eq and amp . +95 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 the Panasonic Home Theater System be the best bang for you buck . the only negative drawback to this system be that it be not to be use as a digital amplifier for external system - however it will do a single l\/r analog input no problem . so if you want to hook you television , hi-fi or game console , into this unit then it will have to be do via a analog line . this mean if you be look for a amplifier for several input from other sound source then this be NOT for you and at the price it be clear that the item be intend for limited purpose and be not a full blow digital in\/out sound system -lrb- be prepare to pay the $ 600 + mark for these type of system that be only for advanced system setup -rrb- . although no true digital input be achievable you can always choose a digital OUT to analog in cable as a addition . however when all say and do I have my ps2 and tv hook up to this box use analog connection and it be fine and work but really the heart of this package be in the dvd player 's quality and the SOUND . the item have 3 front speaker , 2 surround and a woofer . the sound be sublime for the price . the picture quality be well above average and the functionality be pretty outstanding . the system be simple to setup -lrb- take I 20 minute out of the box -rrb- and can play nearly every dvd disc format -lrb- include mp3 , cd-r , cd-rw -rrb- and have several sound format to choose from -lrb- dt , Dolby Digital , Dolby pro Logic , Dolby Surround and Stereo -rrb- . also each sound format have several variation for room shape and size . you can also adjust the level of each speaker individually . the unit then give you multiple option for screen size , playback type , picture quality etc. . in short there be nothing this player be miss except for maybe some advanced feature like zoom in on frame . if you be look for a out-of-box home dvd theater system then this be the package to get . the tower also look funky and the ejection system be beautiful .

I be glad I purchase it . +612 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 if you be look for a entry level speaker\/home theater setup , buy these . you will not be disappoint . clean crisp sound at a great price . +658 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 -lrb- April , 2006 -rrb- HOME THEATER ? - PANASONIC make garbage ! I buy a similar dvd home Theater Sound System , Panasonic Model SC-HT900 less than three year ago and the sound have go out ! the product have normal use and good care by two fifty-something . Panasonic have a service center over a hour 's drive away . after patronize I as though I be a idiot , the customer `` care '' person on the phone would not offer any break , other than a `` slight discount '' on the purchase of a newer model -lrb- equivalent to a retail sale -rrb- . why would I want to take a risk on the sc-ht 930 when the earlier model go belly-up before its time ? what gall - attempt to capitalize on they fail product ! I have be tell it be not worth the anticipated cost of repair . so after spend $ 500 on a product that look brand new , two year later I have to trash it ? nobody should have to take a absolutely new-looking product to the land fill because the manufacturer 's greed override the ethic of make a quality product . my last surround sound system be a cheap rca ; actually last exactly three year -lrb- longer than the Panasonic -rrb- before it fail . we should not buy product from company that do not take responsibility for they product . I would not even consider buy this without add the cost of the longest extended warranty you can find . as for I , NEVER AGAIN will I buy PANASONIC ! DECEMBER , 2006 UPDATE : some time after I write the above review , I again contact Panasonic , speak to another representative and she seriously consider my situation . she arrange to have the product repair , free , at a central repair center -lrb- I pay ship to ; Panasonic pay return -rrb- . the amp work again , though it still get very hot , so I cool it with a small external fan ; hopefully to preclude another failure . after some month of use , it have not fail - and have have some of my faith in Panasonic restore , I just buy a Panasonic tv . I hope this home theater and other current model be improve version and that this company be learn that old-fashioned customer service pay off in the long run . to conclude , I base my review of the above model on my earlier Model sc-ht900 -lrb- no longer in production -rrb- , which have a amp failure that Panasonic finally repair - although I suspect to original component design specification . I suspect newer model may be improve . but for the initial amp failure , I would give the performance of my system five star . +834 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 great look speaker and they sound nice , too . the only reason that I be give this product four star be because of its manual . it definitely read like some engineer write it . it will take I a while to figure out each button on the remote control . other than that , I be really happy with the system . +647 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I buy this speaker set for a buddy . I have my doubt , judge from the price , but my wallet prevail . so far , I be rather blow away by the sound from the small -lrb- 4 ' ? -rrb- speaker . loud and clear , great high , non-muddy bass . really amaze ! now , as to the sub-woofer ... it light , hum , etc , but I be not get sound out of it . it be hook up correctly , so far as I can tell , and I be go to assume the lack of sound be relate to a setting on he home theater system . if we figure this out , and the sub-woofer prove out fine , I would not hesitate to recommend this if 100 watt per channel be enough for you . +176 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 the system be way better than I expect it to be . be the system be so cheap I be expect something loud , but not clear and i be wrong . everything be so clear , the bass hit perfectly , and you feel fully immerse into movie , game , and anything you watch on tv . I purchase this to go alongside my PS3 and Samsung TV and it work flawlessly with the two . the PS3 will auto sync with the system to output at the best possible setting , and then do so . the only drawback that I can find . it do not come with any hdmus cable so be sure to buy they . the `` out '' on the system be through HDMI so in order for you to have everything hook up to the unit and go to the tv you need hdmus . if you do not have hdmus then you can still run the sound from the tv to the unit , but you will need to manually adjust all the setting on the PS3 etc. . . to suit the output of the unit . the only way to truly experience the full power of the unit and full surround sound clarity you will need HDMI hook up though , so either way . I be only get two channel sound quality when I wasnt use HDMI . if you do not have it setup correctly setting like pro Logic make the rear speaker extremely quiet . however when you go in depth , the unit do offer a microphone adjustment tool . you setup the microphone and it adjust accordinly . its osmething id expect from system costing hundred of dollar more . from what ive mess with I dont think you can go in and adjust the subwoofer though . overall turn up this system sound absolutely phenomonial especially in smaller room , but it excel in larger room too . the nice thing be you can turn it down and still get amazing sound quality , but the sub get quiet and you not wake up neighbor all night . it take less than a half hour to set it up , and since then ive be blow away one way or another . its absolutely worth the price its at , would probably even buy it if it be higher to be honest . +37 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I buy this because I need a very small system . it have a clean sound and simple remote to use . the dvd quality be good . I give it 4 out of 5 because the dvd rom lid rise to high and hit the shelf above it . also the Blue background of the lcd panel be hard to read at a distance . this be a good unit for people who need a small package with good sound dvd player . +796 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I purchase this unit about a month ago . when I try to hook it up , the wireless woofer would not respond to the sound bar . I contact tech support , who take I through the step to set it up . when it still would not work , they have I ship it back to they , and they would replace it with a new one . when the `` new one '' arrive , -lrb- with a lower serial number than the first , in a box that do not appear to be new -rrb- , it would not work either . I be send this back today , hopefully at some point I 'll either get one that work , or a refund so that I can buy something that do work +478 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I have just buy a Panasonic sc-ht900 to replace a rather messy collection of age seperate . I be a major Sony fan and of course audion a few of the Sony option first but could never quite get excite about they then the Panasonic be recommend to I so I give it a go . it beat the Sony 's hand down -lrb- I be sad to say ! -rrb- . now , to get this out the way , unlike many of the review I have read , I have so say that the Panasonic unit be pig ugly . especially compare to some of the Sony unit but then I 'll live with it be rather date and clutter apearance for it be superb picture and sound . I dont understand how some people consider it underpowered unless they have very large room but in my 12 ` x20 ' room , the Panasonic have no trouble at all in fill the space with detail and a deep , warm , well control bass . I would not score it highly on ease of use initially but you get use to it . the 4 floorstanding speaker be attractive and seem to do they job admirally . the inclusion of DTS be a big plus for I but I would never compare dt with dd5 .1 before . only 2 of my dvd have dt but flick between DTS and DD show a clear difference . add also that apart from SACD , I dont think there be a shiny disc format it wont handle . the system be a breeze to set up and delighted I straight away . for the money , this truly be superb . I think the build quality could be better on the main unit . it feel a little flimsy so I will be especially gentle to it . bottom line , despite the negative point , I be delighted that I didnt buy the Sony . it would have be a choice of fashion over function and I have a better system for choose the Panasonic . maybe I 'll get use to the look . who know . love be blind . and just 1 final complaint to the manufacturer about all of the system I look at . why do none of they have optical out ? I will have to keep my CD player just to copy stuff on to my MiniDisc walkman ! so , why 4 star and not 5 ? well , not attractive , unclear manual , feel a bit poorly build . but I 'll forgive a whole lot for what it do do well . Picture and sound be just great . I be grin for age . buy now and you wont be dissapoint . especially at the price . +414 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 keep in mine this be not a true 5.1 system . however it be practically impossible to tell the difference . these speaker be crystal clear and perform perfectly . for the money , you can not find better , guarantee ! +671 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 well ... he say that no subwoofer would work on he receiver , even when try out other subwoofer from bestbuy . chance be , he just forget to change the setting on the dvd player itself . yes , the dvd player setting MUST also be set to have a subwoofer output , as well as change the setting on the receiver . i myself have not try this product but do own many aiwa product that have dependably support my listen need . try it out for yourself and see if it really be a defect . chance be , that guy just overlook one of the thing he have to do to get the system work . +766 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 the unit be work today in August 2010 . no I do not depend on it to watch dvd , as I have another dvd player for watch video . this be sort of a gift from someone . the dvd player be great when it decide to work . as another review mention this dav fc7 have a bad or malfunction part which the sony repair guy know about . and this should have be recall and all owner should not be charge for repair . yes , I have dvd and cd stick in there , for month . and then one day it decide to spit it out . if it do not , I would have to take this thing apart and remove the dvd myself . and a few time I want to use the dvd player within , it turn off after try to find the disc inside the player . I want to throw it out then , but be too lazy to . now I use this for the speaker . the radio be not sensitive enough to lock into station , as I like 710 wor be in NYC . other than these problem . it have okay sound . okay sub woofer . but I be go to change the front and center speaker when I save up enough money . I may use old Sony bookshelf speaker for the front , and at 8 ohm , they have the same volume . and may get a cheap center from ebay . $ 80 be too much for a new center speaker , as sell here in amazon . +990 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 the head unit be a bit slow - could use more process power . and my PS3 be a better bluray player at the end of day . +609 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 terrible , terrible terrible ! please do not give rca you money . this thing freeze multiple time during playback -lrb- and it be not the disc , we have put brand new disc in with the same result -rrb- . when I call they help line , they act like they know it be a problem , but require a receipt for I to send it in for repair\/exchange . since I buy it online , I do not have that and now I be stick with some nice speaker , but a worthless player . plus , the speaker have the bare wire plug-in -lrb- push down on the spring load button and insert the wire to connect -rrb- and it do not seem that many system even use that anymore . Stay away ! far , far away ! +635 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 after a little dd , I finally decide to purchase this system . boy be I happy I do . the sound quality be incredible , and even though I be unable to put the rear speaker behind for the full surround sound experience , I be quite pleased with what this system be capable of . there be numerous input so you can hook-up you vcr , dvd , playstation , gamecube , etc. . there be nothing like play Grand theft auto and actually feel each bullet from the subwoofer . with the click of a button , I can change the receiver from my shoot-em-up game to a nice evening of classical music . when you can sit there and actually hear the faint `` ding '' of the triangle in the background , you know you have a great sound system . item to note : 1 -rrb- this system come with a dvd player . 2 -rrb- the subwoofer be fairly large , but on many other system this be the case . it require a separate power source . 3 -rrb- the dvd player play dvd 's -lrb- of course -rrb- , cd 's , and mp3 's . 4 -rrb- the setup be fairly easy . there be different color of cable wire for the rear speaker , the front speaker , and the center speaker . 5 -rrb- there be two remote -lrb- one for the dvd player , and one for the receiver -rrb- +78 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this product work great . I really enjoy the surround sound effect . the system be great . it have plenty of power for it be size . I really enjoy the look of the tower speaker , they be a good size that they be not the focal point , but compliment very well . the only glitch that I can find be with the wireless rear surround sound . it shorts out every now and again . I be almost positive it be due to interference and not because it be faulty . I have a bluetooth computer and wireless router that operate at 2.4 ghz as well . if these be off , then the signal be transmit fine for the most part . it be a excellent buy at a great price . +783 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 yes , first the weight ... why do it feel like it have a lead chassis inside ? really surprised I that it would be so heavy . Disc tray be only plastic , so that could not be the reason , so that leave the amplifier transformer I guess . I agree with a previous reviewer about the strong enough subwoofer and seemingly weaker satellite . volume must be half -lrb- min -rrb- 25 -rrb- max -rrb- to be good for my small livingroom . and I expect a `` power '' subwoofer that carry its own power supply\/amplifier onboard . although this be only my second ht I know the other have a passive sw and connect just like the ht-db600 do -lrb- speaker wire only -rrb- . Speaker setting menu do not hold setting each time I go into it to make change , so unless I be do something wrong then set balance -lrb- or volume -rrb- be pointless . something else amiss in the speaker menu be no Center icon in the Delay part , only have l and r show there , so I can not get that closest speaker to I to sound farther away . not sure if this be a firmware issue , model\/manual descrepency , or defect . what might point to it be a defect , of sort , be how the test tone menu play through the left front speaker in place of the center , as if there might be some internal problem . however , no problem be notice during regular play . yet another possible problem be with drc -lrb- dynamic range compression , or keep volume moderate -rrb- . it might be make sound go out-of-synch . I 'll know more about it as time go on , so maybe I 'll update my review here if I learn more or anything happen to change my mind about the average rating I give . all in all , if this home theater do not wreck any of my dvd or cd disc it seem a good system at the price I pay , which be about $ 177 after shipping . good for people on a budget , like I , I believe , because the sound quality actually be good even if the volume must be rather high on the scale . +404 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 do not buy ANY Panasonic Products . my Home Theatre that I buy be the sc-ht830v . I pay nearly $ 400 for it . exactly 1 year & 2 week after buy it , the display quit work , and no sound come out of the speaker . one year after spend $ 400 , its worth nothing . and , of course , they customer support be nicely say ... `` I be sorry , sir , but since it be out of warranty , company policy say we can not do anything . '' so , despite spend $ 400 -lrb- which be a lot to I -rrb- , they would not do a thing because I the system break 2 week too late . therefore , they lose a customer ... for life . and I urge you to stay away from they . +42 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I be look at this product in store , and if you do not know you can stick a speaker cable in the intenna slot to use it as a intenna . when i be check it out . . i also notice nothing come out of the rear speaker ... then i notice that you can adjust the & amp ; quot ; distance & amp ; quot ; you be from the speaker . . this allow the system to adjust the volume accordingly . . so if the front be 5 foot away and the back be 10 foot away , but the center and sub be 2 foot away , you will still hear SURROUND ... its really cool , and i can not wait to buy they . . I have just over 200 and i need the differance . . I do not live in a apartment , and im not some punk ruch kid , but i do have to save my allowance to buy anything ... and i can not wait to play battlefield and hear the Airplanes fly overhead and im shooting the flak with the pouning shell from the subwoofer +953 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be a incredible deal - for merely $ 180 you can basically have a decent home theater experience . the setup be not difficult ; anyone with some basic knowledge about audio can do it in a hour or two . this Sony offer a nice surround sound and the quality of center-channel and subwoofer output be decent . there be two shortcoming - one , system manual be extremely inadequate in term of set up the speaker and two , the sound in video\/dvd mode be a bit weak , compare to the sound in radio or music mode . all in all , it be a great system for its price , a terrific introduction to home theater experience . +673 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 it be everything everyone say it be . great sound and work as advertise . some concern with the longevity of the remote . have trouble find code for universal remote . +976 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 excellent product , easy set-up , solid remote , quality finish , beautiful sound ... the audio easily fill we 450sq foot tv room . we use the product with we Sony 55 inch lcd . I have yet to figure out how to sync the Sony remote with the system . however I can not complain Yamaha produce superior product ! +644 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 LG be a good manufacturer , and this system be great , but the LG LFD790 - Home theater system can be have , use at least , for at little as $ 150 , so why not ? both produce great bass and balanced sound . +101 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 just over a year ago I be want to purchase a home theater system for the family to enhance the enjoyment of watch movie . after look around we discide to purchse RCA 's model rt-2300 Digital sound processor . after set up the system we enjoy many movie and the sound be wonderful . we even add a dvd player to further advance the enjoyment of watch movie . when the system be almost a year old , the nightmare start . on occasion the system would shut down by itsself and would not powerup again for several minute . this seem to only be a minor inconvience after all , it only happede occasionally . -lrb- at first : -lcb- -rrb- soon the system would not even power up for more that a few seconds and all movie watch stop . I have take the system in for repair three different time -lrb- for around $ 100 -rrb- and the system still do not work . the receiver have spend the last seven -lrb- 7 -rrb- month in and out of the repair shop and still no remedy have be find . ocord to the repairman , he call RCA for some technical help in find the problem and they say they do not know anything about the reciever because they do not manufacture it directly . so I have a receiver that will sit around and collect dust until the next yard sale . I will most likely hold on to the speaker , after all one can not have too many book end in the library . in short , be CAREFUL when consider the rca rt-2300 . +872 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 if you prefer a easier set-up than the typical surround sound 5.1 or 7.1 with front , Center , Rear speaker and sub , then this system be for you . soundbar with sub and rear speaker sound great . very easy set-up . grant for the REAL Hard Core sound folk , they will go with high end 7.1 sound system that will sound better BUT ... cost much much more . can use analog audio cord that come with unit , or digital optical cable as mention in many review . I have have my system up and run for over 2 month and no problem with anything ... all light work fine . I would highly recommend this system . +49 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I receive the system yesterday . it do not take long to setup the system both physically and systematically . first off the dvd video performance be great and the sound if you set it up first be great . my test dvd be Terminator 2 utilize both Dolby and DTS 5.1 . both format sound great . but if you know anything about theater sound dt always come in with best high and low . the amp section for all the speaker be inside the sub module . the box will say 800 total watt . that be actually 800 total watt in RMS output power in Dolby Digital mode with 1 khz 10 % thd on front and surround and 100 hz on the subwoofer . but actually it be 470 total Watts in FTC output power in Dolby Digital Mode with 120 hz-20khz with 1 % thd on the front and surround and 100 hz with 1 % thd . both of the mesurement of power be in 4 ohm . when it come to eq-ing , it do not have bass nor treble control . it have sound field control such as Heavy , Clear , Hall , and ETC. . I be really not a fan of that , but once I get use to it , it really do not bother I because they sound good . the speaker sound great as well . automatically i think plastic speaker box except the sub woofer they would sound tinny like they be in a pop can . this be not what happen . the front be two way speaker , you get crisp high and surprize powerful mid . the Surrounds be one way speaker with Mid Punch which be essential for surround . the sub-woofer pack a powerul punch at high and low volume . but then at high volume they be a very slight hint that be not really noticable of distortion . but I be not very sure . i will have to try more movie and music to see . but I recommend not read these review on the remote and dvd tray not work . that do not stop the performance of this product . but here be my advice , you can use my advice , but my best advice be go to store , bring a dvd or cd , Play with it , learn it , and if it do not satisfy you , do not buy it . good luck +227 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this thing be so great ! watch movie , espically war movie with lot of gun fire , sound so great ! with the bass all the way and the volume loud , it doesnt click or scratch ! you will love it ! +317 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I be look for a system in the $ 300 - $ 400 range . I look at soundbar system , other htib and even the BOSE Cinemate . I be glad I decide to purchase this one base on the great review . I agree with the other reviewer . this be a great system and I be blow away by the sound . it feel like be in a recording studio . the sound be crisp . dialogue be audible even at low level . you can hear `` whisper '' without the need of turn up the volume level . I be also able to hear other sound that I do not notice with my previous htib , such as bird cawk and fly from the surround speaker , other instrument and tone in certain track . the sub be also loud enough for my taste and it be not too `` boomy '' like my previous sub . set-up be easy with the omnidirectional mic and auto speaker setup . I be able to calibrate the system use the OSD . overall a great buy . -- Update . I go to best buy the other day to audition the higher end speaker . base on avforum , the SLS speaker sound similar to Magnepans and Martin Logans . I audition the Martin Logan Motion Series and do not notice a difference with the sl speaker . I try the higher end Martin Logans -lrb- Source -rrb- . there be difference but it be marginal to my untrained ear . for ~ $ 1,000 per speaker -lrb- plus amplifier cost -rrb- , in my opinion it be not worth the difference . I be so happy with my sl q-line gold . +826 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 i get this system online at Walmart for $ 299 on sale this system be awesome sound great in a small room or medium room i would buy it again if i have to so far 4 day no light problem i guest vizio fix it good sound good base and good power i have a big yamaha system in my living room that be very powerful but this vizio be a great system and true 5.1 sound if you do not want to set up the rear speaker no problem but i like true surround sound i test it out by watch blade and matrix awesome you can hear every detail nice base dose not shake wall but sound very good you know you have base i do not work for amazon or walmart just want to tell people my experience with this system truth of the matter well worth $ 299 if you can get it you will not be disapoint +52 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this be a excellent deal . do it sound as good as $ 1,000 system ? it be close ! I do not think you can get near this level of performance for anywhere near this price . AV Express provide outstanding customer support -lrb- first receiver ship be defective , but AV Express quickly arrange for I to obtain a replacement without any cost to I -rrb- . receiver be a bit dated -lrb- no hdmus -rrb- and control be far from intuitive , but it appear to be a decent receiver . the automatic setup with the include microphone do not yield the best setting for my large living room . I have to manually increase the `` channel selector '' control to raise the level on the satellite speaker -lrb- front , center , and rear surround to +10 and the subwoofer to +6 -rrb- . without these adjustment the sound be just too low , and the receiver seem weak . the 5 speaker be really outstanding , though , and the subwoofer get the job do . +646 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 when I view this product in my local electronics store I initially think that this would be a extremely good buy for the price ... until I get it home and be halfway through my first movie . basically the fan kick in which be extremely noisy -lrb- not forget that this system be not the loudest in relation to volume by any means -rrb- the sporadic fan activation be a real annoyance when you viewing dvd . unfortunately of late it have now start skip \ freezing for a split second when play -lrb- and I do not mean play old dvd , new one fresh out of the box !! -rrb- I have return this item 4 time already , have the laser unit replace , the fan and various other bit and bob that the sale guy be not sure about . I be cautious enough to take out a 5 year guarantee on this model do I think I may be due a few return trip yet !!! unfortunately I be stick with this until JVC deem it `` unfixable '' my advice ... think twice before you buy this unit . +384 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I buy this system last year . I have keep it in the box for about 2 month because I be plan a move and do not want to hook it up . I hook it up in Nov or Dec of last year and play two dvd . have problem with both on audio and have to adjust language to either 2.0 or 5.1 before it would play right . most recently I join a dvd club , buy many dvd and have problem play any dvd that do not have language choice of 5.1 or 2.0 . call manufacturer and they say too bad , it be out of warranty . what a waste of money . do not buy this product . +613 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be a nice system I buy this back in 1\/2003 it come with a 27in tv also . nice sound to it . but if someone be sell a 2002 unit for $ 175.00 use I would have secong thought because it be way over price you can find something new and only have to add 50.00 more buck . +719 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this thing have be great ! I have own it for over a year and a half . I love the quality and the small size . no noisy fan or any negative . usb host be great . can even hook a usb external hd to this thing . have not use hdmus yet but it be great to have for when I upgrade to a flat panel . overall I have no complaint ... the 1000 Watts be a little of a overstatement but it be plenty loud enough for home application . +997 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 Ibought a klh ha7000 from best but less than a month later it freeze up and all it would show be the welcome screen i return it to best buy and they give I another one now 7 month later the new one do the same thing so much for quality equipment now it be still under the part warranty but after pay shipping and labor it would cost more to fix than it cost I to buy now i see that they dont even sell this product anymore but now all of we who buy it be pretty much shaft and have to purchase a new system and all i say be DO NOT BUY ANY KLH PRODUCT since they dont seem to have good equipment or back up there product so dont waste you money on there junk since junk be all it be +661 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I have my unit for 1 month before experience the `` f61 '' many people have see . I call they repair shop back and forth during a period of 4 month and it seem that none of the part that Panasonic send they could fix the unit . to this date , I still can not get Panasonic to send I a refurbish unit . on top of that , I have to drive the unit 97 mile to the nearest repair shop . I would not recommend this product due to the terrible customer service when it come to service the warranty . +193 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 after do reaserch for a small dvd home Theater I find this rca unit . I read some review that say this be a & amp ; quot ; best buy ! & amp ; quot ; , because it can play anything and even display digital picture from a cd . well , it do do everything just poorly . when I get the unit the lid would open and then immediatley close . I figure that be how the unit work and I would have to be quick to chang the cd . after a couple of month I notice that new dvd would skip and freeze . I think it be the dvd but when I test they in a different dvd player they would paly fine . the sound be not the best either . when watch a dvd you can hardly hear people speak . you have turn the volume up to the max to hear the speaking , but if there be music or a explosion the sound be so loud it make I scramble for the remote to turn it down , and then I can not hear the speaking again . needless to say I have have this unit to long to return it and be stick with a dvd player that skip and do not have good sound . +190 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I pull the trigger buy this mainly for the 3d movie for we new LG 3D bd670 -lrb- Amazon -rrb- and Vizio TV . I be a old guy -lrb- 69 -rrb- and set it up have be a challenge . I be thinking of wireless for the back speaker cuz the wife do not want wire run around . the speaker look great . the sub work great also . I just get it hook up with the Optical from the tv and hdmus from the CD Player . I be find out that 4ohm speaker that this unit use be a bit different than the usual 8ohm speaker . gotta be aware of that . the tuner work great and look super . overall the sound be wonderful , the FM radio reception be right on and we use that a lot . we love the new sound available to we , , , , , , again , , , great value , great sound , great look . be nice if it have HDMI , but work great the way it be ... +41 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 the home theater be easy to setup , even though I do make a mistake at first , but once I realize what I do , it be easy to setup . however , unfortunately , I be not able to use it . I find out my hdtv do not have hdmus -lrb- arc -rrb- or a optical line . so make sure you have a hdtv that have those connection , otherwise , you will have a problem . I will definitely be use this when I get another hdtv with those connection . I 'll have to pay attention to that when I buy another tv . I be go to have to get it 5 star anyway , until I get another tv . +155 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 own a Samsung tv , we want a similar brand for the audio in order to take advantage of the smart link feature . although the player have very nice feature , the sound be disappointing for a HT System . the subwoofer be passive - not have a build in amplifier - and look and sound cheap . there be just few limited environment you can choose from the DSP option , but these be not able to sharpen the sound at a decent quality . you can definitively have a nicer sound from a pc surround system . the system have auto calibration feature , but the measurement get consistently wrong . if you have a room with hard surface -lrb- no carpet , bare wall -rrb- the processor get confuse by the reflection . +892 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 pro : Easy set up . this be a great sound system . blu-ray playback work great . Netflix work great . Pandora work great . con : YouTube be horrible . Video quality be unacceptable and sound be delay at least a second as compare to video ; this make all YouTube content unwatchable on this system . also since there be no keyboard it take forever to enter you search phrase in the YouTube app . it will take you less time to hook up you laptop to a tv , and do a search on it with regular keyboard , than try to search for a particular video on this system . +98 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 when I receive the system , the dvd play would not work . the amplifer and speaker appear to work ok , but I mainly purchase the unit for the dvd player so I be very disappointed . I be satisfy with the Vendors response . they agree to refund the total amount of my purchase with no problem . I give they a 5 for service . +754 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I know I probabaly should not expect so much for the good deal that I get , but the mx3900d be a major disappointment . I have have problem since day one with the sound level while play dvd 's . when I have the radio turn on I can keep the level at about a 5 or a 6 and hear it through my whole house . for a dvd I have to turn the level to 25 or 30 to barely hear common conversation . it be also really irratating that when I put a new dvd in the changer and then select that tray that the dvd do not automatically start play . be not that the point of the dvd menu that movie company put on the disc ?? I even go so far as call philip to find out about the problem and be tell that these be known issue and can not be fix . Sorry , but I want a system that I do not have to crank all the the way so that I can hear my movie . this one go back to the store . +986 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 adjust you expectation for this sexy little unit and I think you will be please . my viewing room be 15 ' x 15 ' and only have half-wall at the back . the system sound very good when we move the couch to within ten foot . the overall quality of sound vary wildly with the source : full hd video typically have very full sound while non-hd cable signal sound compress . play music through the system work very nicely -- if you sit close enough . outside that sweet spot the limitation of those little horn and sub will show through . plug it all in be very easy . I have try mess with the advanced setting a little , but the interface be not very easy to use -lrb- via remote only -rrb- . nevertheless , by just push the sub up in the mix I get a sound that work well in most situation . for this price I be very pleased . I could move my old 5.1 system in for the whole-meal-deal , but I can not really turn it up to good volume with other in the house ! +798 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this thing be rockin ' big time ! I love how you can use the receiver to manipulate the sound to sound like you be really in a movie theater ! I have my xbox run through this system and , man , I can not tell you what a difference the sound be in game ! it be so neat to be able to hear where the enemy be comee from . anyway , I recommend the system to anyone and everyone ! +524 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I have have this unit in my bedroom for about a year and I have play everyhe from dvd 's to mp3 's with no hitch . the unit have more than adaquate power to sound thrilling without distortion . my only gripe be the remote have no mute button and the volume up and down inexorably slow to incrementally move . other than that , I be quite pleased , as I can always pause anything that be playing -lrb- include VCD 's -rrb- and come back to it , if I need to answer the phone , etc. . nice layout , design , price , power and play everything flawlessly ! +895 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 nice sound , I will admitt for the price , I get big sound , with quality . only thing be a humming , hissing sound when machine be idle . Ohtherwise , worth it . +802 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 SET up take 15 minute . I place the 2 inch tall sound bar on my tv stand . I do not attach the foot because it would be so tall it would block the power button of my 42 inch LG TV . I put the subwoofer on the floor , until I get a new tv stand with shelf . I twist off the cap for 6 speaker wire that go into the sound bar and the other 6 wire that go into the subwoofer . I be use to speaker wire from set up my old stereo . only the subwoofer have a electrical plug , a plain one , not the blocky one . all the input & display be on the subwoofer . I connect a hdmus cable from the Comcast DVR & another HDMI cable from the subwoofer into the tv to convey the picture , which pass thru the Yamaha unit . the Yamaha be receive Dolby Digital from Comcast . I turn off the tv 's speaker . if you wish more audio input than the one provide by Yamaha , search Amazon for `` tosklink audio selector '' I have my HP desktop pc connect with hdmus to my tv for streaming , but when connect to the Yamaha , my computer screen go blank . so , I keep the HDMI cable in my tv for picture , and connect a toslink audio cable from the pc to the Yamaha . the Yamaha be receive PCM sound from my pc -lrb- from the internet -rrb- but not Dolby Digital . the subwoofer be also a FM receiver . after I connect the little antenna cord , I be able to receive 10 or 11 radio station . use could not be easier . I turn on the Yamaha unit . I turn on the tv . -lrb- edit : with the Yamaha , my Comcast HD DVR box reset from 1080i to 720p so rather than reset Comcast cable box , I put hdmus from cable box to TV & Toslink audio cable from cable box to Yamaha , so tv stay 1080us and when need , I switch Yamaha 's audio input to the computer 's audio cable -rrb- . and , then , like always , I change the channel or volume or access Comcast 's on demand or dvr . if I want to use it with the computer , then I press `` tv '' on the Yamaha remote -lrb- because the Yamaha 's audio input be be use with the pc -rrb- . if I want to listen to FM , I press the FM button . I could not get the Comcast remote to control the Yamaha , but the Yamaha 's remote be wonderfully small and simple . performance be great . nobody should expect it to replicate the sound of huge & powerful individual speaker , or to hear surround sound , but it be a wonderful improvement from the tv 's sound -lrb- which sometimes be very good but not always -rrb- . from all source -lrb- tv , FM or PC -rrb- , sound from the Yamaha be always excellent ! I have have it for more than 2 week now and not be disappoint . test from YouTube video , the sound bar have separate leave , center , and right sound . the subwoofer 's bass be very good . the Yamaha 's FM radio be very good . from the pc , YouTube movie & tv soundtrack sound great thru the Yamaha . the Yamaha be enjoyable and fun to use . -lrb- edit : I see Yamaha have a 494 model , on Amazon & Yamaha 's website at they home theater in a box gallery , with 2 rear speaker , but they must be wire as not wireless -rrb- I highly recommend the Yamaha 400 sound bar . +724 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I have to say that these speaker be awesome ! I originally have Sony BDV-E570 Blu Ray Home theater system , and I think I have good sound . then I ask a home theater installer what the difference be between use a power sub and a avr versus what I have . he answer , `` night and day '' . I research speaker and choose this set , and a Yamaha AVR . after tuning the speaker with the Equalizer and YPAO , I have to say that my home theater sound be up there with the movie . in a word - awesome ! the bass be amazing and the clarity , outstanding . I could not be happier with these speaker . +361 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 we have have the same problem with the `` dream '' Home Theater System . we have learn to mute the sound instead of turn it completely off for the night ... it seem that once off , it become extremely finicky about turn back on and come off of the dread `` standby . '' we inquire about get it fixed and be quote approximately $ 135 . I have do my research and will invest in another company 's product instead . do not waste you time on this one . +178 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 be very sceptable on buy the Vizio 5.1 as a lot of review indicate problem with the light indicatior . but apparently Vizio have fix the problem . we love they , Great sound with a lot of adjustment thru the remote control . love the fact that the speaker come with wire and great instruction . +617 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 this home theater system be horrible . it produce a small band at the top of the picture that be blue in color and affect every scene . furthermore , when you power the unit down , then go back to the dvd that be already load , the unit play from the beginning and not from where you last leave off from . do not waste you money . Stick with the Sony dream System line . +705 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 the five 2-way satellite speaker be really cool . if you like movie , then then 50-watt power subwoofer in a front-firing bandpass will be you favorite . all speaker magnetically shield against video interference , so it be easy to find a good location around you living room . subwoofer feature power switch and level control , plus line-level and speaker-level input , with feed-through to satellite it be great for entry level . +461 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I like this system for the money , but the passive woofer be as describe `` passive '' . I add a Sony active subwoofer and now this system kick . the active sub cost I as much as the whole home theater system , but it be worth it . I use the system to watch tv , movie , and listen to music . the receiver and speaker be `` good '' for the price . I debate on return the system because the bass I want be not consistant . but add the active sub enable I to get the sound I want and my total cost be less than $ 400.00 . +481 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I buy this piece as `` use & New '' for $ $ ... I be expect a system with some miss or damage component . but I feel it be a good deal even if the Player be work . so go ahead and buy this system . this be ship earlier than expect . when I open the box to my surprise the box be packet perfectly with all the item brand new . open it and assemble it within 10 minute . it be very easy as wire and socket be color code . the sound be great , just like watch a movie in a theater . the inbuilt onscreen mp3 player resemble Winamp and be great . totally the system can match any high end Hometheatre system . do not think twice look at the cheap price . its a excellent piece and you 'll really be happy after buy it . +454 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I purchase to go with my Toshiba 42 hd projection tv . sure its not a $ 1,000 system but it work fine and have excellent audio and video output . sound as good as my $ 500 Sony setup that I have upstairs . no problem ... would recommend -lrb- and I have -rrb- for someone else to purchase . B.G. 12-26-04 now after 11 month , I get the dreaded protection error good bye display . look like a hassle with Toshiba come up , please do not purchase . if they do not give I a problem -lrb- surprise -rrb- ... I 'll be back to update ... finally get it repair . they replace bad capacitor c27 ... work fine for about 60 day now May 5 , 2005 , same old protection error -- good bye -- I wish I could give negative 5 Stars !! +148 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I would have give this home theater system five star if it be not for one major flaw : there be a extremely loud , high frequency hiss that come from the receiver -lrb- yes the receiver , and not the speaker -rrb- . and the hiss be too loud to ignore . I notice this immediately after setup and ask for a exchange . Amazon ship a replacement , and I notice it again . I call Sony customer support and they inform I it be indeed a defective unit . what be the odds of I get a defective unit 2 time in a row ? +60 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I find this product by google blu-ray home theater . this model be list at 149.97 from Sears in Ohio . look at the retail and what other be sell this unit at I jump on this deal . the unit be a floor room model . I know that sound bad already , but the unit have never be plug in or ever turn on . it be just sit there to make the tv they be try to sell look good . the other down side about this floor room model be that they no longer have the remote or the owner manual . with that say I know what I be get into . I have read many review of this product . some great , some good , and some who have good thing to say about the unit a speaker themselves , but have all point out the same issue . that issue be that there be a whistle noise , like that of a tea kettle come from one of the speaker . grant I do buy the floor model , but it be in pristine condition . I plug it in upon arrive at home and immediately notice the same thing . there be a faint whistle noise come from one of the speaker . I put my ear up to the speaker to make sure I be not hear thing and sure enough it be there . the noise be faint and when the volume be turn up on whatever be be watch it be go . if you be someone who this kind of thing would not bother then these speaker be for you . for I , even though I pay way less than retail , when I pay a lot of money for a product , I want it to be near flawless , especially for a name like LG . I contact they customer service and they recommend some quick fix all of which do not work . he then tell I I could have it send in for repair for a service charge of 69.00 . upon be tell that I quickly make the decision to take these speaker back . I understand what I buy be not `` new '' , but the issue be of one that have be bring up by many people already . in my opinion Samsung make excellent home theater for a decent price . my advise , to spend a little more to buy better quality product . in no way do spend more get you a better product , generally speak , but if you be someone who spend the money on something , you want it to run well and have it be a product you can say , `` I be really happy about this product '' . you do not need it to be perfect , but you do want to be a satisfied customer and appreciate the hard earn money you spend . +721 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 first , these speaker need a break-in period . with the 3-5 hour a day my tv be on in-between the whole family , it take about 2 week . the lower mid 's come from the satellite become much fuller . the high have also lose they harshness . most people may never notice these thing but I have be do higher end audio for a long time and little thing do not get past I . for the price these be some of the best speaker I have ever hear . I would highly recommend these . if you be look for the under $ 1000 budget this be the best thing I have find . this will kill all the bose system out there -lrb- which be a horrible speaker anyway , but it be a lot of people people idea of what be good -rrb- +995 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 wonderful system for the price ! my only complaint would be that the speaker wire be not all long enough . this setup be good for a small space , but the wire do not extend very far for a large one . +659 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this system look very nice and the speaker be nice look , and you get you money worth ! this system be too loud for my apartment at volume 3 and it go over 20 , but I do not will not to become deaf ! this system work great with a hi-fi vcr , but if you have a dvd player go for digital ! also I just order this sytem December 23th at 2:00 pm and get a email confirmation at 9pm that it be ship and free complimentary overnight shipping instead of regular ground ! well I get it today Friday morning ! the box be huge ! the cable length for the sub should have be longer . but overall I be very happy with the system ! +715 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I have own this system for a year and I have have no problem with it . I not a audiophile at all but to I it sound phenomenal . its probably a lot more powerful than I need since I live in a small apartment but its better than not have enough power . dvd work and look great . also my wife really like the appearance . my one criticism which be really too small to affect my 5 star rating be the way the disc load mechanism work . it take a while to eject and load each of the 5 disc . I have not time it but it seem to take longer than what you be use to -lrb- 6 or 7 seconds maybe -rrb- . although it be a small thing , when you be try to quickly find a disc in one of the 5 tray its a little annoying . +89 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I have have this great system for a year and a half . yesterday the LEDs stop work . this seem to be a frequent complaint from owner of this unit . I chat with a Vizio rep and he tell I to remove the power cord from the wall outlet , hold down the power button on the bar for 30 seconds and power it back up . the led now work ! +786 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 sound quality be amazing , but ... for city dweller there be a catch - system do not have a plug for headphone - so there be no way to see the movie while child be go to bed in the next room . another annoying feature be slowness of dvd drive - it opens\/closes\/loads disk really slow - much slower then say famous philip 642 dvd player . +522 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 just buy this today at target -lrb- 1\/7\/2003 -rrb- . go to return it tomorrow . it promoise a nice all in one but like several of the other poster , something do not work on it . in my case , the VCR . I buy this on a spur of the moment without do any research . Got home , set it up , go to Amazon to see the review , ... wish I have not buy it . it sound good enough , though . and if everything work well , I might have keep it longer . but with the on-line review here and it not work out of the book , I 'll have own it for less than 24 hour . \* sigh \* my recommendation be to NOT buy this product . +940 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 we get this system in June , and although it work great for a few month , this weekend it freeze in the `` hello - protection - Goodbye '' describe in other review here . read other ' experience , I expect we 'll just replace this with something that do not have so many dissatisfied customer . +30 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 be cool for a kid surround system . work for about 6 month before the dvd function stop work . the radio be extremely sensitive , i could get station that be unavailable in any other system i have own -lrb- include car !!! -rrb- the speaker be weak and the sub be overpower . after about another month of non-dvd , i be upset and about to buy another system , like a sonybox . I remove the shell and find the broken chip that have burn out . I simply use a eyeglass screwdriver and poke at it untill the dvd would work -lrb- take about a hour , but dvd only work untilll unit get hot , bout 4 hour -rrb- in the direction it say not to put anything on top of it -lrb- even ps2 or xbox -rrb- , dont ! should work fine then . anyway , find a cool feature the company install that allow they to sell the unit in asia too , in the case there be a switch lable ntsc\/pal , you can switch it to pal and play bootleg , import , and non-region code dvd ! the menu text switch to chinese or japanese or something too ... the mp3 menu be confusee but managable . if you have a older stereo with bigger speaker , i reccomend change they , the one supply be low quaity . +878 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 this unit be a nightmare . the instruction appear to have be write by someone with alzheimer 's . there seem to be no logic to the operation of the unit nor be it there anything intuitive about it . every time you want to do something new with the unit , expect to commit a major chunk of time puzzling over the manual . the remote be make of some aluminum-type metal that rapidly corrode and partially obscure the name on the button . it can be incredibly hard retrieve a disk from the tray and the headphone jack be loose . the sound be fine for the price and I could care less about the appearance . +352 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 purchase this unit in January '04 and it fail within 60 day . unit be repair under warranty . use approximately six time and it fail again . same problem . when I turn unit on it display , HELLO PROTECTION GOODBYE , and shut down . Toshiba have not be very helpful as they say this unit be out of warrantee . I be advise that if the same part have fail they will pay part and labor , otherwise they will pay for the part and I will have to pay half the labor charge . will never purchase another Toshiba product again . +674 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I didnt KNOW what to expect . IM TELLING you I do NOT NEED ANYTHING more than this . MY ENTIRE APARTMENT be fill with sound . I leave it low most of the Time ! +119 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I recently receive this item as a gift for Father 's day from a sc member warehouse for three benjamin . in my bedroom , I have the system up and run in less than a hour . most of the time be spend figure out where to place the speaker . hook the system up to my dvd\/cd player , tv , super vh vcr , tape deck , computer 's graphic card tv-out and computer 's sound card be easy . the sound quality blow I away . it be magnificent and system be extremely loud without distortion . my biggest gripe with the system be the subwoofer hence 4 out of five . the 200 watt in receiver amp be not give justice by be hook to a subwoofer with only two small 5 '' driver inside . in a corner of a small room it be sufficient for those who do not like a lot of bass , but I really want to feel t-rex come , explosion , and fight scene in movie . I be thankful that the receiver have a pre-amp output for a additional power subwoofer . I currently have a audiosource sw fifteen -lrb- 15 '' driver and 200 watt amp -rrb- subwoofer line with two buck of polyfil attach that give more total bass than I now know what to do with -lrb- volume past half-way up shake entire house ! -rrb- . I get lucky and discover the item for less than a benjamin at america 's number one online auction site . the receiver be also excellent with multiple s-video port , digital coax , digital optical , as well be multiple rca input with one set on the front for convenience . I love the analog to digital signal processing that can be use to manipulate the sound in multiple way to simulate club , concert , theater , church , stadium and arena environment . other minor gripe that I have with the system be that it do not support any component video so if you have it on you dvd player , digital satellite , and\/or hdtv receiver then you tv must have multiple component video input or you will have to use one only at a time or a separate switch box . the receiver also could have be make to upgrade rca video to s-video for better picture quality , but it do not do this so I use another super vh vcr connect between the receiver and the television for this purpose . other recommendation for more serious audiophile include use heavier gauge speaker wire and a better fm \ be antenna . if you be a expert you could probably build you own passive subwoofer and attach it instead of the one send with the unit . for a 900 watt bedroom home theater with a power subwoofer attach by a shield subwoofer cable for less than five benjamin , this system be simply awesome . one of my friend be currently in the process of get this system as well . if you be a member of sc warehouse then you be in luck but even at Amazon 's ... higher price this system be a steal . Update : I decide to replace the subwoofer that come with the system with a Pyle Audio pltb12 12 inch subwoofer bass tube -lrb- need one to handle at least 200 watt RMS of power from the amplifier . -rrb- the 200 watt subwoofer amp in the receiver be finally do justice . after this I do not even need my Audiosource subwoofer with the system because the bass this tube put out have my whole house shake with the Audiosource off . I must admit the round tube be not very aesthetic so I hide it in a corner behind a few thing . for less less than seventy buck off the net include S&H; , this be probably the cheapest solution to get more bass from the system . +160 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 get it at Circuit City for $ 120 ! lot of bang for the buck . Plays almost all type of dvd and cd out there . so it be get only one audio input -lrb- and rca at that -rrb- , the 200w be more than enough for a medium size room . +174 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I have be use this item for year now and never a problem . surround work great , real 5.1 !! I would preffer more bass for the pc Games , but it have different sound mode to improve the performance . : -rrb- this have power to fill any room wth good quality sound . +903 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I love SONY PRODUCTS ... HOWEVER , THIS be the worst . I have have my system for less than 3 month ... and have have to send MY SYSTEM back to SONY 2 TIMES for the same problem . the SYSTEM have a mind of ITS OWN and OFTEN will not accept a dvd or cd . if it do ACCEPT , IT MAY NOT EJECT IT ! the MOTOR in the CAROSEL CHANGER be a constant problem . the ODD THING be that I only use the system maybe twice a week . it be not display in a awkward location . just the worst -- be a UNDERSTATEMENT . if you be going to PURCHASE THIS SYSTEM , THINK twice ... unless you do not MIND FOOTING the SHIPPING BILL MONTH AFTER MONTH , and if you do not MIND be without your SYSTEM more OFTEN THAN NOT . +926 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 THis be one of the best electronic device that I have ever purchase . increadible ease of setup , Fabulous 5.1 surround sound . I just can not believe how well match this system be . I have sit in $ 1,000 system and not hear as good as sound dynamics and clarity . this be a BEST buy and I highly recommend it . +678 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I buy this home theater because Denon be a very good brand in sound , but soon after daily use you computer stop respond to remote or front panel , and to solve this be to disconnect the outlet and plug , but so far have make '' they be expose to a return of merchandise because I be not happy with the product , many problem with freezing equipment . he comprado este home theater porque Denon e una muy buena marca en sonido , Pero al poco tiempo de uso a diario el equipo deja de responder al mando a distancium o en su panel frontal , y para resolver ello hay que desconectar de la toma de corriente y volverlo a enchufar , sino estubiera tan lejo hubiese realizado un regreso de mercancia pue no I encuentro contento con el producto , mucho problema con el congelamiento del equipo . +939 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 these be amazing speaker at this price point !! I connect these use Pioneer 1120k receiver and the sound quality be amazing : -rrb- +577 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I would like to comment on some item in the other reviewer 's review : `` o no warranty ; no address or telephone number in packing material . try 800\/726 -3801 . '' Mine ship with a warranty card and contact information . `` o work only with remote control supply ; no universal remote code so now I have one more clicker to kepp track of '' that depend on the type of universal remote you have . you be correct though , most universal remote do not have a code for Koss . `` o tiny speaker supply with unit have a tinny sound ; '' I think the sound on the unit be terrific . I certainly have no complaint . `` o if you switch from dvd to tv , dvd revert back to start of disk . a major pain as now you have to sit through a minute plus of start-up material . '' i agree , this be a major pita . and the reason I give it four , instead of 5 star . `` o lack a mute button . oh thos enoisy commercial '' my remote have a mute button , and it work . I think you should read the manual or look for the speaker with a line through it on the remote . : - -rrb- overall I think this be a wonderful unit for the price . it be only slightly more than a standard dvd player . the unit also play mp3 , and have AM and FM tuner as well . what a happy surprise that be ! +937 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 i have only have it for about a month and so far its be great i have hear all brand of shelf system and this one be the best yet you can crank it all the way up with no distortion the only drawback be if something happen to the remote you in trouble because you cant control nothin without it the cd dvd changer drawer do look flimsey but so far no problem in short if you want a nice system for the bedroom or office this be the one . +816 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 buy the system and have little trouble with the setup . I agree that it be loud . the system do not seem to adjust volume at all via the set up menu despite what the manual claim . it be also very frustrating to go play a pg movie only to find the parental lock be on and guess what - the manual have the wrong password . I would really like to see the correct default password post . overall I will say the system be a vast improvement over what I have before . +591 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I read a lot of good information about this product while research it for Christmas , so when it come up as a gold Box Deal I snag it . I have a very unusual shape for the family room and I do not want to run wire across the floor . I also be not too jazz about wireless speaker -lrb- still need a power cord or you need to deal with battery -rrb- . set up the unit be easy . with a few extra hdmus cable , such as BlueRigger High speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet 6.6 Feet -lrb- 2m -rrb- - support 3d and Audio return -lrb- latest version I can leave the tv on a single hdmus output and switch it at the sound bar . since I need to switch the audio anyway -lrb- I may never use the tv speaker again -rrb- , its convenient to have the video source follow . we have a very non-standard room layout and the soundbar do a good job of fill the space . you could just as easily have you tv be the switcher and output the audio signal from the tv to the soundbar -lrb- support a digital audio out connection -rrb- . the sound be great for a sound bar . I would expect that audiophile will expect more . this product be not for someone who be willing to rewire they house to get the best possible sound . for someone who want something clean and elegant that produce good sound without a lot of wire or clutter , this be the product for you . +47 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I be amaze how powerful this sound once it be hook up . the system be not top of the line by any means but for the price ... WOW ! I have have no issue with the product and my only compaint be that the power switch be a hard switch , mean that you cant use the remote to turn it on and off , only to mute it . other than this , product be excellent ! EDIT : two week later one of the imput have die completly . I now only have the front input and one in the back . this be very disapointing and I be afraid that the second one on the back could die soon . I do not crank it all the way to max volume or anything so I should not be have these kind of issue in 2 week . I be consider ship it back but that will end up cost I more than it be worth I would imagine . beware . +333 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 this be really a nice system , but the one drawback be a huge one . there be no optical cable input . why Panasonic neglect to add this be a mystery . they also do not have a optical input on they higher end system . after purchase this system , I have to return it . if have a good system with adequate stereo sound be what you want , this would be a good purchase . if you be a audiophile look for a true surround sound theater experience , this system be NOT for you . I would recommend that you instead look at the 8 speaker ONKYO Home Theater System 7.1 hts780b . for around $ 50 - $ 100 more than this system you can get a state of the art 7.1 system . the Onkyo be 1000 watt and sound awesome . it will also give you a cut edge system that be actually ahead of the technology curve . it do not come with a integrate dvd player like the Panasonic , but you probably already have a dvd player anyway , right ? +850 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 it will really shock you to hear the type of sound you hear . it be easy to set up ; it be awesome . you may even be able to catch it on sale . the only down side be that you can not hook too many other thing into it . so , if you be look for a receiver to connect you own floor speaker , you may want to check the amp on the speaker first . it might be do the speaker a injustice if the watt be larger than this system . for anybody who just want a nice sound when watch they movie , this be the one ! +900 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 this system be the next evolution of the ht900 and ht920 . both of which have design flaw . I speak with a panasonic service engineer about the ht900 and he verify a pop noice come from my sub be a know issue with the sub , but no recall be issue . after 3 month of discussion they replace with 920 . after own a little over a year I have issue with the sub on this system also . there local certified repair company tell I there be a issue with the design of the circuit board on this system . different problem from the 900 . they say they though Pansonic would replace but after numerous conversation they do not . they make good tv but low quality home theater in a Box and do not stand behind they product . +894 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I have have a Sony dav-fc7 for about 1 1\/2 year . I know when I buy it that there be a few bad review , but like anything , it be expect that not everyone will be happy with it and there will be a bad experience here or there . plus it be not a top of the line device anyway . however , the odds of have a bad experience with this unit be unrealistically high as note by the other 28 review post just on Amazon . I primarily use mine for the home theater aspect . it be only have a couple dozen dvd 's play probably . recently while try to watch a dvd , it lock up 3-4 time just like a computer lock 's up - but computer lock up be generally due to configuration or software issue , not hardware . I have to cycle the power each time to get anything to respond , then find my place again in the movie . now just two day ago , I notice that it have the ` standby ' message flash continuously , the same as many other have note . I can unplug it to ` reset ' it , however , now I can hear audio , but have no picture come though it . the dvd part do not work at all , I think there be a stuck dvd in it . the ` reset ' appear to have only short term effect as well . I have to unplug it each time I turn it off - otherwise the ` standby ' message take over . of my last 3 Sony purchase -lrb- vcr , dvd , camera -rrb- , 2 of the 3 have be flaw . shortly after I purchase a Sony vcr , the front panel display go out . everything else seem to work okay -- you just can not tell by look at it what it be do or even if it be on\/off . nice craftsmanship\/design - Sony . I be hope my camera fair better over the long term - which should be consider longer than a few month or 1 1\/2 . I can guarantee , Sony will not get any more of my dollar for a long time . +587 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 we purchase this product from Sears right before christmas of 05 . the purchase price be 149.00 . I should have know that mean it be cheap , but we be on a budget , so we buy it anyway . we have no problem with it until August of 06 . when the disc be play , all the color on the tv turn green . then the screen go black , but we still have sound . we call customer service who tell we to send it to they and it would cost we 130 dollar to have it fix . the whole thing just feel like a scam . would anyone actually send it in ? I will never purchase a Koss product , and I hope they go bankrupt due to they business dealings . +346 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I be look for a device capable of swallow any kind of format\/media . from vcd , svd , dvd to mp3 on cd,cd-r , cd-rw . . my budget do not allow I to choose for a high range machine . the tha5 answer my need . image be in good shape , the sound be brilliant -lrb- even if it be basically design for a small room -rrb- and it read everything . the only negative point be the time to load a media . . but that it . do I to add that the design be clean and smart ? +205 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I just buy this system after two year of major search . unfortunately , I should have wait another two year . pro can play almost any type of audio\/video disk Easy setup the main player look impressive con can not perform the most basic operation of my older , lesser Sony model ; include : can not change one disk while play another , and no shuffle mode ! -lrb- note to self ... never throw a party -rrb- the sound be shallow , tinny , and weak . the listener be remind of a alarm clock radio . when in `` surround sound mode '' the listener be remind of several alarm clock radio . the speaker be , in my opinion , very outlandish look . you 'll have difficulty incorporate they into any decor ; unless of course you live in a laboratory or industrial facility . bottom-line I would hold out on home theater for now . wait another two year for the high-end -lrb- $ 600 - $ 1000 -rrb- model to come down in price . also , power satellite speaker will be available within two year for a good price . that mean no more wire in you living room , so even the most unnatractive speaker can stay relatively hide . +400 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I buy this to replace a LG fd-790 vintage 2007 which die . I want Blu-Ray so buy this instead of fix the LG . I consider another LG but read all the bad review about the wireless rear speaker not work so pass . I be a Amazon Prime subscriber and want something that could stream instant video as my tv be a lg 47lbx which be not internet ready . I do not want a separate boxee type thing or htpc because of technology issue of another family member and tv watcher . the good thing be it all work and be relatively easy to setup . the bad thing for I be : 1 I try to register for my Sony Essentials account but it turn out that if you already have a sonystyle.com online account it be the same thing so I lock my exist account try to register . this result in a extended phone wait and multiple transfer to have my account reset . then streaming work . 2 I install the MediaRemote for Android by Sony on my Samsung Infuse and it work except the Network Services function have a place for username and password but no way to navigate to the password at least not on my phone . 3 as mention in other review there be no equalizer . my wife say the bass boom too much . I have it set to -6 db which be as turn down as it go . I may have to put a pillow under it or something . I know other have comment on the poor bass response of the other speaker but no complaint on that . I have try the various audio mode but none of they seem to cut the subwoofer volume relative to other speaker or frequency response much . 4 program the radio preset be a pain and non-intuitive but it work and I hope to never do it again +684 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I purchase this unit on 10\/23\/04 and it have be in the shop 3 time for the same reason , freezing up while watch dvd 's , read error when try to access dvd 's . Samsung of course inform I that they would extend my warranty for the 3 month be the unit be in the shop more then it be in my living room . now it as take a dump again and they will not do anything about it of course . they should rename the company Crapsung . +606 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I just purchase the theater system on Dec. 02,00 . it be easy to hook up and quite a good system for the price . but 32 day later , in the middle of a movie I lose my subwoofer . it seem for some reason the sub would work , only when the center channel be off . ITS BEEN in the shop since . we will see how it hold up when I get it back . +819 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 it have very good sound for the number of speaker . the woofer work great . I live in a condo and this be the system I choose after read review on most brand . for a condo or a apartment it fill the bill . I give it 5 star for this reason , and the price . +999 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 except for one small caveat -lrb- as other reviewer have already note -rrb- , the Panasonic sc-htb15 sound bar speaker system be a excellent addition to improve you tv sound over stock speaker . oh , and those on a budget . ^ _ ^ ; I like the fact that speaker can be set up either as two separate or as one single bar-type depend on how you tv be set up . set-up be pretty straight forward . you use supply screw to attach the speaker to either stand for left and right speaker or use connector to create single bar-type . attach the thin white speaker cable to speaker and then decide if you will use either hdmus -lrb- arc -rrb- or optical cable to pipe in the sound . if you tv have neither then you may have to do work around . I have small living room so set up surround sound system with dedicated receiver will be a overkill for I . once hook up , I compare the tv sound and the Panasonic sound and by golly , I be glad I buy this system . of course , some people may not agree with I where sound be concerned but if you be happy with the sound then that be what count . lastly , if you buy the speaker at Costco , it already come with both optical and hdmus cable throw in free . +665 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I have a Sony soundbar -lrb- ss-mct100 -rrb- , a Yamaha soundbar -lrb- yas-71 -rrb- and , now , this Panasonic . the Panasonic be the best of the three . the sound separation be amazing , dialogue be clear and not muffle by sound effect or music . the volume be also superior to the Sony and the Yamaha -lrb- with the Yamaha be superior to the Sony -rrb- . Hookup , to a Vizio 42-inch edge-lit lead , be simplicity itself . as the Vizio do not have a ARC HDMI , I use a optical sound cable -lrb- which come in the box , as do a hdmus cable -rrb- . I be also run a Samsung BluRay dvd and a Roku XD box though it - with the same excellent result . total set-up time : about eight minute . -lrb- and I be no wiz at these thing . -rrb- after program the Panasonic into the Vizio remote -lrb- use code : 31275 -rrb- , I put the Panasonic remote into a drawer . last but by no means least , the Panasonic be considerably slimmer than either the Sony or the Yamaha which mean it do not get in the way of the television 's remote signal receiver . plus , the Panasonic soundbar can be split into two and use as separate speaker on either side of you television -lrb- or hang on the wall either side of the television -rrb- . I pay $ 199.00 , on sale , at Costco . +759 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 great sound with this product . obviously it be not fancy or expensive , but for the price and ease of setup , this be worth it . +967 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 the good : it cost I $ 70 for a dvd\/receiver combo with six speaker . I never have any of the hum subwoofer , crackle , scroll video or any other obvious audio or video fault report on here . I have not have any serious trouble with the remote the bad : it do not play DTS . Dolby pro Logic II -lrb- from Gamecube and ps2 on av input -rrb- can be very iffy . sound seem to jump in and out of the rear speaker a lot . play with menu option usually result in a inexplicable loss of sound from some or all speaker . or sometimes it sound different when you set a option , then it sound even differenter when you try and set the option back to normal ! most setting be not remember if the unit be switch off and on again . if you rear speaker be too close to you -lrb- like i have in my apartment -rrb- , you must lower they individual volume every time the player be switch on . the remote be nice look , but spell all its word out -lrb- like `` play '' intead of -rrb- and `` stop '' instead of -lrb- -rrb- -rrb- you can not skip crappy dvd menu intro and other certain thing like you can on many other dvd player . conclusion : good price , but only get it if you really really can not afford a better dvd\/receiver combo , or better yet , separate component . note : to set the region on the player , go to setup with no disc insert , press right to get to pref page . then press 1,3,7,9 on the remote 's keypad . of course it do not save this , so you 'll need to change it every time you want to play a import dvd . +801 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I buy this system recently after my Panasonic dvd Surround System break . I be a little leary about this system since other reviewer have mention a hissing noise here on Amazon and other site for that matter . but I could not find anything like this value and decide I could just take it back if I do not like it . well , I love it ! the sound be great ! Subwoofer be awesome ! I do not hear a hissing noise at all . this sound so much better than my Panasonic which break and that I have pay $ 100 more for . +582 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I base my purchase on the review I read here , and I be competely satisfy . I be not a expert on home theater by any stretch , but with this system and a optoma h31 projector , I have a great home theater setup for a little over $ 1000 . +224 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I have two of these . one be a model that be no longer availible and the other be the current model . I boughtthe first to replace a sony rack system that i have for about ten year . I would still be usee it if lighting have not burn it beyond repair . I try many through a rental company and find that thy do not meet the quality that i have become acustome to . when I find this system , it once again make I ask the question , be that dog bark outside or on the tv ? the only thing that i have a complant about be that I have a dvd and sit PVR and both have digital audio out . the older version only have the one in with the choice of either optical or coaxial . this one have they seperate between video 2 and video 3 . I love it now . I still use they both . +53 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I replace a older Sony home theater system . this system be a decent value for the money . set up be trivial , although it take longer to untangle the wire then it do to plug they in . the front side speaker be a bit stingy on wire length , however . I be hope to use the same wire from my other Sony system , but they change the plug for the unit . one set up the microphone at the appropriate place in the room , and it automatically balance the speaker , which be a very nice feature . speaker can be easily wall hang . the remote be tiny , and it take a bit of get use to when switch from watch dvd to listen to the television set . you need to push a button , although when you put in a dvd , it automatically change . there be no eject button on the remote control . the dvd player be not a Blu-Ray player , but that be not a issue for I . I use a hdmus cable , but for listen to the television only , it require extra cable to carry the audio from the unit to the television , but certainly not the heavy monster Cable need for my old home theater unit . I will look into a optical digital audio cable , which will be even less bulky . in switching from television program audio to dvd audio , there can be quite a change in sound level , which can be annoying . but I still can independently change the audio level for both the television and the home theater unit . the subwoofer be cheap look , and I have hope to use my older Sony subwoofer , but due to a change in the plug style , I do not . for the price it be a very decent unit , although it do not have the sophistication one may wish , but it come with a much lower price also . why only three star ? Tiny remote , short cable wire , cheap look subwoofer , no dvd eject button . but no real quarrel with the sound quality . when one put in a dvd with thx sound , you certainly know it . +568 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 the sound quality be great . I like the optional setting for tv , Music etc. . just be aware that you need to purchase the s-air box to make additional speaker wireless . +96 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I buy this system a couple of month ago because I want a setup to replace my CD player , dvd player , Radio Tuner and sound receiver . I also want to go digital and have more power . this be the best system ever , and the best upgrading decision I have ever make ! sure , it be work to set it up , but you can go to any store -lrb- best buy , Circuit City ... -rrb- and ask for help . as far as hookup go I actually think it be relatively simple as long as you get a digital cable -lrb- which you would be crazy not to -rrb- . connect coaxial out on the player to coaxial in on the receiver and you be rockin . all you have to do then be hook up the speaker and sub-woofer . from there you can just set it up how you want it . besides , I recommend read the manual thoroughly for any electronic device . especially with this one -lrb- both dvd and receiver -rrb- because there be so many cool little feature that you would never figure out on you own . the sound with this be incredible . music be great -lrb- especially with sub-woofer -lrb- isolate bass from treble , imagine if bass guitar and lead guitar be play through the same amplifier , that be not right , they be two separate instrument on two separate channel , as present here so you get more accurate reproduction -rrb- , and movie in digital mode be almost better than the theater -lrb- movie like Star Wars , Lord of the ring , and 007 truly rumble -rrb- . the remote for both be very comprehensive , well lay out , and usable -lrb- in fact they be almost interchangable -rrb- . if you be look for a great , powerful home theater system with great feature and truly accurate sound reproduction , look no further than Sony and especially this model . you 'll be blow away ! +749 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 customer service - the Panasonic website claim this be very important to they . I have my home theater only 3-4 month when a VCR tape get stick . I have now be at the service center for almost 4 month ! when I be lucky enough to get a response from Panasonic -lrb- which be rare -rrb- , they make promise of completion and\/or replacement . but promise will not play the dvd 's my family would have like to watch together over the holiday . when we finally get through to the customer service center on the phone , they have the nerve to hand up on we twice . if you want a COMPANY to stand behind THEIR PRODUCTS - stay away from PANASONIC !!! I have truly give up hope of even get my home theater back from the Panasonic service center . +691 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be the best home theatere system I ever have . better than & quot ; BOSE 3-2-1 & quot ; by far !!! better tan you think ... you can turn it up all the way and the speaker will not blow out !! oh yeah ... this home theatere system be worth . . 5000 !!! Crisp and clear sound ... pro logic ii ... DTS ... Cinima FX technology -lrb- tm -rrb- ... . . and much more !!! THIS be more than a five star HOME THEATERE SYSTEM ... ... +245 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 this definitely be not a professional sound set up if youre look for one . it work alright for my and my friend play music through we laptop , and i plug it into the tv for movie . the sub be not up to par , sound very fake . the whole thing look straight out of the 90 's . not have a separate counsel to point the remote at get old too . the remote they give you control the way the sound come out of the speaker , BUT also happen too be the size of 3 stamp line up . mean I lose it almost daily . sound quality be alright . can get a bit fuzzy when it be louder , and im pretty sure i blow a speaker already too . it be cheap though , so for the money i recommend it . I just learn my lesson to put a little more money in it next time . +189 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 a good sound through the front set of speaker , wireless rear speaker set-up that work ok . but overall work fine . there be no interference with wireless internet . ocassionaly stop work to avoid interference with other electronics in the house ... I have notice it stop when we use the microwave that be near by . +619 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 Onkyo have long be make easily the best home theater in a box system below five hundred dollar ... easily blow away the Sonys , Panasonics , and especially the hideously overpriced bose system . just remember a couple of thing : 1 . you get what you pay for . this system be great for movie , but not great for music , which be much more demand of better speaker . well what do you expect for this price ? 2 . the speaker be not satellite . they 'll produce far better sound than those ridiculous little bose satellite or the tiny tall skinny Panasonic tower , but that be because they be in real speaker size . not as huge as really good audiophile grade speaker , but not tiny little cube either . hey , it be simple physics . 3 . Onkyo be famous for its ease of use and solid build quality , which make this a ideal entry-level mass-market setup in term of quality-to-value raio . personally I think you could do better buy a separate receiver and a separate speaker system , for a couple hundred dollar more . or you could actually stay within the same price range if you buy a refurbish receiver , for instance go to ecost dot com and look at they Onkyo 502 for under two hundred dollar then buy the Yamaha NS-P436 Digital HomeTheater Speaker package from plasma bay dot com for two hundred fifty dollar . +714 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 i buy this item and its one of the channel do not work . they say its cheap but they send it defective . +381 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I love these speaker . grant , we be replace a head of the line Pioneer home theater set from over a decade ago , so there be little comparison . on the other hand though , I must say I be disappoint in Amazon . I buy these on a gold box deal for $ 200 less than list price , think it be a excellent deal . Newegg have have they for over a year for $ 300 less than this price , and that be they regular price . so , although I highly recommend these speaker ... I also recommend you do what I fail to do ... shop around , and look at Newegg -lrb- much better price -rrb- . I pair this set with a Denon AVR 2311cus . this be a excellent combination in my humble opinion . whatever receiver you use , just keep in mind this set can only handle up to 100 watt per channel at 8ohm . grant , there do not seem to be a receiver out there which do not inflate it be number a bit , so there be some padding . the Denon we have be rate 105 per channel , yet the speaker be just fine . +730 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 my purchase of a nice sony 32inch wega require the accompanyment of a nice surround system . the ht5100d have a bunch of wonderful aspect . First and foremost it have amazing dt playback . with the optical cable hook up -lrb- which be not include and range from about 40-80 dollar -rrb- this system sound crystal clear . it allow you to adjust to the imperfection of you living room or anywhere else you might put this system . for example ... this system allow you to choose the surround sound quality and the distance speaker be set from one another . this allow for a excellent listen advantage in any room . another excellent thing be the cd\/dvd changer . although I think I would never need a dvd changer I be so wrong ... with the addition of almost 100s of dvd it be imperitive that you have a changer . another great thing be the visual aspect of this system . it be entirely gray ... which if you own a Wega like I match perfectly ! now a few downside ... the cd playback be a bit weak . in fact if you not run DTS the system in general be a bit weak . you need to seriously crank it to catch the key phrase . something that I do not need to do with my old Harmon Kardon system ... -lrb- of course that system break and be 100s more expensive ! -rrb- another downside be the bass . a mere 50 watt pump a un-impressive subwoofer . with such a nice high sound system I expect a bit more in the low range . of course sub be sub and you can always upgrade later , although currently Sony do not offer a great selection . overall this have be a great system . it be powerful and what be more it be very price worthly ! you get a lot out of this system for a small price , even if it do eventually end up in a spare room somewhere it will always be reasonable . enjoy , and remember to upgrade on the cable ... espcially the optical , it make all the difference ! happy listen ! +405 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 the ht900 be a very good system for the price . I be originally go to buy the system in a retail store but come here since it be a hundred dollar cheaper than national chain store and no tax . I listen to other system in the store but nothing could compare to the ht900 for the price . the system take about two hour to set up -lrb- assembly and placement -rrb- but all that move and effort be worth it . the sound be pretty good with very good bass from the powerful subwoofer\/amplifier . it may be a bit confusing for new user to understand the feature available to they but most can understand the instruction very easily . only con I can see right now be the lack of more disc support in the player . dvd+r \/ w and dvd-rw would have be nice instead of just the Panasonic support format of dvd-r and the die dvd-ram . overall , this be a good system and I would recommend it . you can not find anything else with the same sound quality and feature set for the price tag of $ 400 . it look pretty darn spiffy as well . +74 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 could not have ask for a easier transaction and delivery for a great home theater system . +328 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I buy this system about three week ago and I have to say I be very pleased with my purchase . for the price I pay , I could not go wrong . I do a lot of research and I be look for a nice surround sound with speaker and sub for a decent price . I hit the mark with this system ! I pay $ 244.00 for this system and the day after I purchase it the price go up to $ 399 ! it be all that I could ask for in a surround sound system for that price ! it be a 600 watt system -lrb- each speaker be 100 watt -rrb- . I have a smaller living room so once I run the cable in the wall and mount the speaker , the sound engulf you and you feel like you be part of any movie that you watch . the speaker be very sleek and be on the small size , which be what I want . I do not want to mount huge speaker next to my flat screen tv . they look awesome . the sub be passive so you do not have a power cable for the device , which be what I like . it come with a asc mic so it auto calibrate the sound output , but to be honest , I go in and tweak the output to my desire as I want the rear speaker to be a bit louder . it also come with a ipod dock , which I have yet to use , but will eventually . this be also a 3d pass through device which be a need since I own a Samsung 51 '' 3d plasma tv and a PlayStation 3 . I have yet to try the 3d capability as I just purchase the 3d tv , but that will happen soon . all in all I think this be a great purchase at the price I pay . would I have pay $ 399 for this system , hmmm , maybe and maybe not ? I would have to compare what this offer to similar device at the same price ... and at this point I be do do research : - -rrb- all I know be that I could not pass it up for $ 244.00 ! the only negative for this system be the speaker wire it come with be flimsy , so do yourself a favor like I do and purchase better speaker wire . believe I it be worth it for the 15 buck . I test the system with the cable include and then with 16 gauge wire I buy and the difference be night and day ! also , the system do not appear to operate in standby , not a big deal to I , but someone may want this feature . the last negative for this product be that it do not seem to have a remote code for my Comcast remote control , which mean I have to use the remote control that come with it to turn the system on and off and to toggle the input . this be not fun , but it be not a deal breaker for the price . Hope this help and happy hunting . +727 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I think these thing be incredible for the price . it be extremely easy to set up , and they sound great . my room be set up kind of strange and the cord length of the front three speaker be barely long enough to put they where I want they to go . the back cord be more than long enough though . great sound for a great price . +868 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this receiver be absolutely phenomenal for the price it go for currently . Dolby Digital\/Pro Logic II and DTS decode couple with the three digital input plus 6 channel analog input mean that you can throw pretty much any home video audio at it and have it sound fantastic . most feature be cover with the remote but a select few use the receiver button and can be a pain to access ; luckily they be rarely used\/needed feature so it be not a big deal . the sound quality be great and easily configurable via a few remote press . if you want a low-hassle cheap 5.1 system than the ht05 be definitely the way to go . one problem I do run into : to use the dvd 6 channel analog input you have to press and hold the dvd input selector on the remote for a few seconds , otherwise the unit will leave out the center channel . this be poorly document in the manual and it take some trial and error to figure it out . once you know this however it be easy to set up and sound excellent . +755 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 customer service - the Panasonic website claim this be very important to they . I have my home theater only 3-4 month when a VCR tape get stick . I have now be at the service center for almost 4 month ! when I be lucky enough to get a response from Panasonic -lrb- which be rare -rrb- , they make promise of completion and\/or replacement . but promise will not play the dvd 's my family would have like to watch together over the holiday . when we finally get through to the customer service center on the phone , they have the nerve to hand up on we twice . if you want a COMPANY to stand behind THEIR PRODUCTS - stay away from PANASONIC !!! I have truly give up hope of even get my home theater back from the Panasonic service center . +15 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I can report on overall success and some challenge I overcome in hope it will help other as well . first , the definition of wireless can be debate , but for the price of the unit I appreciate eliminate the really long wire snake up and over doorway and furniture to get across the family room to the rear speaker . the wireless base unit be sit right behind I now while I type this on my wireless laptop , so no interference problem . second , dvd playback be great with 5.1 Dolby Digital , although yes , there be some hiss that inspire you to move the rear speaker a little further from you head . also , experiment with different sound setting -lrb- single button on the remote that cycle through option -rrb- when the input be not really 5.1 sound . I find that stereo usually sound more full and true than use the system to create pseudo-5 .1 sound . this be especially true for FM radio . Third , I have a major confusion about VCR hookup . my tv be a low end 32 inch Panasonic CRT with only 1 Video input screen and no sound output . I want the VCR route through the speaker too , so I follow the instruction to use my VCR output connect with -lrb- red , white , yellow -rrb- component connector to the AUX 1 input on the dvd player\/receiver . no such luck at first . Audio be fine , but video be blank . it turn out one simple solution be to switch to channel 3 or 4 -lrb- 4 in my case -rrb- on the main tv tuner -lrb- not Video 1 as be the case for dvd playback -rrb- and then turn on the tv\/video option of you VCR . sound and video be then in sync and run through the receiver . I recommend this system give the price and functionality . +312 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I make the mistake of fall for a good sale pitch on this product a couple year ago . of course this be a `` newer model year '' but it still have the same gut . I be skeptical about buy rca after my parent 5-disk player go out on they only 3 month after they purchase it . -lrb- strike 1 -rrb- RCA , which have a call center at that time , replace it under warranty . -- that call center no longer exist , you have to take it to a authorized service center , so I have recently learn from the website . -- shortly after I purchase this item , the replacement that RCA send to my parent go out ... in the same manner as the first one do . -lrb- strike 2 -rrb- this time , they `` replacement '' model make it exactly 1 year-3 month , so no longer be it cover under the warranty . well , what do you know , now this one have go out on I ... same symptom as the failure on my parent 's system . -lrb- strike 3 -rrb- this be what happen ... you decide you want to watch a movie with the family . you be all excite , pop the disk in , and it say `` read ... read ... read . '' after a few minute , a message come on the screen say `` this disk can not be read . check the region code ... '' the problem be the lazer that read the disk itself . it be LIFE be ONLY ABOUT 1-2 year !!! oh well , I now have a great surround-sound AM\/FM stereo that cost I over $ 400 -lrb- pay $ 369 + tax for the system 2 year ago -rrb- when all be say and do . do I mention it cost $ 30 just to get a quote for repair ? so , if you can afford to buy a new system that often or pay the $ 275 repair bill then go ahead and buy away . otherwise , rca have be a huge expense & disappointment for we family . +761 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 note : I be actually review the htp-2550dv my family purchase this system when we be remodel we basement . I go to the store and browse the isle for a little while until this one catch my eye . I like the fact that it come with a A\/V Reciever so i could listen to the radio on it . the biggest downside be that you can not program the reciever remote for the dvd player or vise-versa . the other be that the mount hardwhere that the system include can not be hang at a angle . I now have to go buy some seperate mount bracket . the sound be amazing ! when I put my Led Zeppelin dvd this thing roar . also , with Star Wars , this system be amazing ! +66 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I only get this equipment for audio , but the receiver be terrific , and the surround sound work just fine in audio mode without a tv . +576 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 Onkyo have be know for they strong home theater reciever and there speaker . the ht-s650 be a strong package with good quality feature . the Onkyo reciever deliver 100 watt to each channel with build in Dolby Pro-Logic 2 -lrb- for VHS movie -rrb- Dolby Digital and DTS decoding . with its WRAT -lrb- wide Range Amplifier Technology -rrb- , this reciever be build to last . it be input and output include S-Video , Optical Digital , and a 5.1 Channel input -lrb- for dvd audio and sacd -rrb- . the Onkyo speaker sound great . the front speaker be magnetically shield so the speaker be strong and give out good quality sound . the Center and Surround speaker be well balance with 4 '' woofer and 1 '' balanced tweeter . the subwoofer have a build in 150 watt amplifier with a 8 '' long-throw woofer , so you 'll be sure that you be get deep bass . the package also include a remote for the reciever , speaker cable , and a instruction booklet . even though it do not come with a dvd player , its still a great system for people who be new in the home theater world or just for people who like to upgrade they small system . Great Value . +822 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 be a college student and a home theater fan , i want to purchase a system that would fit in a small space yet still give I the sound for a decent price . this system be perfect for that and I recommend to anyone . only thing i have to say that be bad be that it doesnt have a s-video output . but other than that it be awesome +970 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 seem to be a very good product . Manual be not very good for beginner but i manage to get it set up and tweak it +171 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 grr . what a waste of money . the disk tray move really slowly , as if it have to consider whether or not its go to open when you ask it to . a couple time it refuse to play dvd 's while flash a ` rating ' message at I -lrb- these be 50 's horror flick dvd 's - hardly objectionable material -rrb- so I have to completely unplug the thing and start it up again . then after about 5 month of intermittent usage , one day the speaker start hum really loud , and it be dead . bummer . +706 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I buy this system because it be highly rate by a consumer group as have excellent sound . they be right - it sound awesome with soundtrack-heavy dvd 's . however , I be go to get rid of it because I already have a extensive home theater system that I do not want to replace , and there be no way to output from this receiver to my current system !! rather , I can output video , but not audio . what kind of idiot at Panasonic decide that no one would want to output audio ? grant , the speaker that come with it be great , and the dialog-enhancement feature make it much easier to hear what the actor be actually say -lrb- you 'll hear dialog that you totally miss at the theater . -rrb- it would be a great system for someone who have nothing else they need to hook up - thus the 4 star . for I , however , it be just a few hookup short of basic utility . +374 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 just recently purchase this item . the sound be great , extremely loud and clear for both dvd and cd . it be not the most user friendly piece of equipment ever , it be easy to set up and get work with dvd , but some other thing that you would think would be simple , like put cd on random be suprisingly difficult . the instruction be all but useless . the other thing that be obviously my fault for not realize it , be it do not include digital input so you can not listen to cable show that be broadcast in surround or video game that support surround in true surround . I do not understand that requirement when I buy it and be disappoint when I figure it out . seem like a system that nice should have the ability to generate surround sound from a outside source . also get the wireless rear speaker kit and it have work really well so far . it will occasionally fight with my wireless laptop if I sit between the unit and back speaker , but it switch channel by itself and work perfectly after a few seconds . +551 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I just get this system a month or two ago , and I be happy with it . the speaker be quite outstanding actually . I have everything run through a Sony receiver -lrb- the one that I have already review -rrb- along with some vintage Yamaha center speaker , and the setup sound quite nice so far . as everyone have already mention regard klh sound system , the speaker be amazing , and the subwoofer lack bass . then again , you do save a great deal of money on the sattellite system , so throw it towards a decent sub . the speaker come with everything require for mount , except decent wall screw . also , the include speaker wire be absolutely dreadful , I would recommend get you own separately . this system be perfect for a apartment where you have to worry about neighbor above and below complain about constant wall thumping . I have have no complaint thus far . I do not mean to sell the sub short , it be nice for the price , and do not seem like its go to blowout any time soon . again , if you want to shake the painting off you neighbor wall , you might want to try something else . +84 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 we have own Onkyo component for over 15 year now . when we decide to upgrade we exist Onkyo receiver to take advantage of the new technology for home theater , we know we want to stay with the Onkyo brand . after check models\/prices locally , we look online and come across this system on -lrb- ... -rrb- and decide to go with it . the system ship and arrive as advertised but after set it up we start have problem with it within week . we run all of we audio\/video component through the receiver then out to TV & speaker . we first problem be that when watch dvd the picture would blank out for a few seconds periodically and be not isolate to just one damage disk . the sound would continue on through these black out without interruption . for troubleshoot I bypass the Onkyo receiver with the video output from the dvd player directly into the tv . the video black out stop . when I contact -lrb- ... -rrb- about the problem , I be tell that I have to deal directly with the retailer that ship it , not Amazon . I contact the retailer and be tell that we need to contact Onkyo for repair\/assistance . since we have a viable workaround to this issue we decide to skip the hassel of disconnecting\/boxing\/shipping the unit back and be without a stereo for 6 - 8 week or more . well , about 8 month later the same thing start to happen when we be play tape in we VCR . again , I bypass the receiver directly to the tv and the problem stop . we do have other `` issue '' with the Home Theater in a Box system , such as the speaker not be very good quality , the subwoofer box rattle and we find a loose piece of wood in it . we never have a problem with we previous Onkyo component . we have subsequently purchase a new Onkyo receiver from a local retailer and have not have any problem with it at all . obviously we still like Onkyo brand and do not know if we problem be relate to purchase a `` refurbish '' system or not but it be hard not to draw that conclusion . +871 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 nice little system I pick up from Sears as a open box item . Easy to operate , put together and use right away . decent sound and function as expect for my current need ... +600 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 the title say it all ! this system be the perfect choice for a great movie experience while lay in bed . the quality of sound be superb and quite honestly I would have not expect the quality from a standard set up from Sony . this system could quite possibly be the basis for a `` e '' setup . my only gripe , which be the reason I give it 4 star vs. 5 , be that disc eject and disc swap take a unusually long amount of time . my old 5 disc carousel swap disc out quicker than this model . great package though ! do yourself a favor and skip the davc500 model and get this one ! +764 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I be not expect amazing sound quality . the sound quality be acceptable for what it be . I be incredibly disappoint that I can not run my WDTV Live through the receiver . I guess the video do not pass through ? I do not know . if I be not so lazy I would return the unit . +803 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 its hard to write a single line for this product its a piece of junk , i buy this a year and half ago . Dont now wher to contact i try all over again and again no reply finally get to trash i sujjest please dont buy this filty product and make ur mode ... nothing be good about this product ... accept speaker good luck ... +844 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 we purchase and set up this system 1\/3\/06 . it be sleek and the sound be fantastic . however 31 day later the subwoofer fan begin make a awful noise . the warranty choice be send it to N.J. or drive it 100 mile round trip for repair . we drive it 100 mile for repair . after 20 day they advise they could not fix it even after install a new fan . another 100 mile round trip to pick it up . on 3\/2\/06 we ship the subwoofer to N.J. and get it back on 4\/5\/06 . by 6\/12\/06 the subwoofer fan have stop intermittantly many time and with it all sound from the speaker . we again drive 100 mile and return the whole home theater system for credit . +282 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I be look at the bose 3-2-1 when I come upon this system . for the difference in price , I think `` what the heck '' . I be so glad I make this choice . the sound quality be outstanding and the look be amazing . we have a small condo and this be sufficient to listen to music throughout the entire place . +991 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 Panasonic pack a lot of value and versatility into its SC-HT400K Home Theater System . the quality and feature of this system make it worth every penny of the manufacturer 's suggest retail price and a genuine bargain at the discounted price find at retailer . setup be reasonably straightforward , although the spacing of speaker terminal be tight even for small finger . a built-in white noise generator make balance the output of the speaker a snap . most of the half dozen sound field that can be impose on the output -- range from a intimate club venue to a stadium - while more pleasingly understate than other I have hear , will , I suspect , find little use by most listener . one of those field , however , be very effective and clever . the `` party '' mode allow the listener to walk about the room without perceive the source of sound to shift from speaker to speaker . the sound from the speaker be unforced and transparent-at least at level that the dog and the neighbor will tolerate . the rear speaker do not make themselves obvious as a source of sound -lrb- except when the source material deliberately place the sound at those speaker -rrb- . the general effect of the rear speaker be subtly to pull sound from the plane of the front speaker into three dimension . last year the leading consumer magazine rate Panasonic 's stand alone receiver , sa-he100k , a best buy . a comparison of the sc-ht400k 's receiver with the sa-he100k receiver do on Panasonic 's website show the two receiver to be substantially the same , with the sc-ht400k lack a few feature that its brother have . -lrb- for example , the sa-he100k be a 6.1 channel receiver ; it have a output for a rear center speaker . -rrb- if the price difference between the sa-he100k plus a set of speaker and the sc-ht400k package narrow enough , the purchaser might want to consider buy the former separate rather than the latter system . after the foregoing kudos , why give the sc-ht400k a rating of only four star ? the subwoofer that I get with this system be defective . fortunately , there be a authorized Panasonic repair shop within ten mile of my house and the defective part be replace in a week at no charge under the manufacturer 's warranty . nevertheless , the defect be a inconvenience and should not have get past quality control . +348 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I buy this system a month ago . I would have to say that it be simplicity be amazing , it be sleek and the speaker size be just right . Though , there be a downside : high frequency be barely hear . I install 5 surface mount tweeter beside each cube , and the sound improvement be very noticeable . I strongly recommend to anyone that own this model to do the same , these tweeter be not expensive , and the upgrade be worth the effort . all the system 's other feature be very user friendly . also it have a zoom power -lrb- x1 .5 -rrb- that allow you to see widescreen bigger , as though you be watch full screen . for the frequency response be that I give the system a strong 4 star . +653 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 purchase this unit on recommendation of best buy Associate . it do not work right out of the box . Blu ray would not play , pixel would rain down the screen , regular dvd 's would only give error message . instead of replace , LG have I send back for repair , when I receive back from they , only dvd would play , still no blu-ray . be now wait for a Firmware update cd which I have still not receive and my guess be that it will not work . best buy would also not help I at all , because I keep in box past 30 day and so even though product be new they will not exchange either . should have come straight to Amazon . all associate at LG and best buy tell I they be sorry but no real customer service . would not purchase LG product again . +897 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 5\/5\/08 : I just order this from WalMart -lrb- online -rrb- for $ 356.54 -lrb- it be not in any of my local store - you can check on the website -rrb- . they 'll even ship it to you local store for free . I be not promote WalMart but I think we should help each other out . another benefit be , if you hook it up and do not like it , just repack it and bring it to you closest WalMart and get a refund . hard to beat . 5\/10\/08 : I be look for a small avr for my master bedroom . I do not want 5.1 . normally we 'll just watch tv in there , occassionally a dvd and possibly the radio . we have a full blow home theater in the family room that be use for serious audio\/video . this unit certainly hit the mark for `` small '' . the main unit be unobtrusive and the speaker be small . the subwoofer be a bit on the big side , but be not they all ? we have it tuck away next to a dresser . setup be very easy . I only refer to the manual once . I have a high def . cable box connect to it and I have the x1 connect to a Panasonic plasma tv via the HDMI cable -lrb- which be not supply by the way -rrb- . when I power everyte on it all work just fine out of the box . the dvd load quickly and the playback be great . the tv be 720p and the dvd I load be 480 ; the x1 do a nice job of upscale the picture and the audio be awesome -lrb- it be StarWars 3 , lot of light saber , thing blow up -rrb- . be it surround sound ? of course not , it only have 2 speaker and a subwoofer . while I be never fool into think the sound be come from all direction I do not expect it to . if you be look for the full surround sound experience , go buy a 5.1 or 7.1 system . if you be look at the x1 and the bose 321 - give this one a serious look . it be a lot less money -lrb- I get it for 350 on WalMart 's website -rrb- and it sound great . a note on the remote . I only use it for a few day and it be ok but not great . I use a Harmony Universal Remote so I just program it to handle the x1 . +855 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 First off , let I say that I be satisfied with the system . it be not go to rattle the window or wake the neighbor - but for ordinary movie watch with clear sound effect it be a good value . I have have this system for about 8 month and very seldom use the dvd . last night we purchase lose in translation and the dvd skip during the preview , then the player refuse to load the dvd after I eject and clean the disc . long story short , I hack the system accord to matta2k 's instruction later in this message board and now it work perfectly . we 'll see if I be still satisfy at the end of the year . +268 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 when I start look for a surround sound system for my home theater setup I have some specific thing I be look for and this system above all other fit the bill . I will start by say that I be not a audiophile yet I do my research and know what I want . although I would prefer a Denon receiver and quality speaker I be look to spend under $ 300 for the whole setup as I have just throw down a lot for my tv and PS3 . I want a receiver that would tackle the task of integrate all of my hdmus component as well as offer a option to connect my ipod directly without the addition of a computer . with the digital media port and three HDMI in port I can connect my dvr , PS3 , and my media server without a separate switch . setup be easy and from the time fedex drop off the unit until I be watch a movie be like forty minute . -lrb- that include mount the speaker on wall mount -rrb- the room that I place it in be 14 ` x17 .5 ' and the sound be awesome for the price . I will note that I step up to monster speaker cable with twisted pair to eliminate rf interference . once the system be calibrate I be able to just use the receiver remote as I have all Sony Bravia component . the only addition that I do not think of at first be hook my laptop up to the tv require a optical cable to the receiver to stream audio in digital codec . a trip to BestBuy solve that problem and although I would prefer that the HDMI out to the tv would send datum back to the receiver I do not mind buy the extra cable . if I have to complain I would start by say that this receiver do not accept all BlueRay digital audio codec so you must properly configure you component to adjust for this . I would detail exactly what I be refer to but other review have do so and its honestly not that big of a deal . bottom line ... for less than $ 300 buck you will not find a similarly equip receiver and speaker package with 1000 watt and so many connection option . if you be look to upgrade from a older analog setup or this be you first foray into digital audio it be the only one to consider . +518 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 it be a good solid home theater speaker setup ! alot better than most home theater in a box setup . a have they pair with the Denon AVR 1912 and I be very pleased . +989 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I have be use a Panasonic sc-ht740 5 dvd home Theater System for about nine month and I have be very satisfied . I enjoy my home unit enough to recently purchase a second sc-ht740 for work . here be seven benefit and drawback . benefit : 1 -rrb- the sound quality be excellent when play cd , cd-r , dvd , dvd-r and the radio . 2 -rrb- the bass can be adjust to multiple level . 3 -rrb- the tv 's audio signal can be play through the system . 4 -rrb- the theater can be expand to use a second room speaker . on one of my unit , I use the sh-fx80 it have issue , but it be worth it . on my other system , I use the sh-fx60 it work very well . 5 -rrb- the unit hold five disc . 6 -rrb- the system will accept a ipod . 7 -rrb- the unit be physically attractive . drawback : 1 -rrb- the remote control have so many feature that it be difficult to learn and use . 2 -rrb- there be no way to access different video angle . my old dvd remote have a button to select different angle for compatible disc . 3 -rrb- other than the bass level , there be no equalizer to micro-manage the audio signal . 4 -rrb- the remote do not work with my Sony television . 5 -rrb- the sh-fx60 -lrb- wireless rear speaker kit -rrb- and sh-fx80 -lrb- second room speaker -rrb- can not be use on the same unit simultaneously . 6 -rrb- the system be not compatible with pal or sacd disc . 7 -rrb- I often get wavy line on the screen for about five minute . customer service tell I to change the yellow video cable . I have use three different cable -lrb- one of which be gold plate -rrb- and the problem persist . instead of the cable , it may have something to do with the main unit . +517 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I always think Amazon when order anything . not too long ago I order a item and see the same product for $ 20 less in a different Amazon section . Amazon do show what other be buy right now . what they do not share with you be the identical product list in other section sell for less . slick , I think not ? now on to this Sony Sound System . I have it in my cart at $ 199 , and within day it go up to $ 209 , and now it be $ 219 . all within 2 week . of course I just find and buy it for $ 189 with free shipping and no tax from some famous camera place in New York I never hear of . highly rate . I would not order this Sony system here , and also be careful with future Amazon purchase . I love Amazon and will always return , however will now look further before place any order , which be so darn easy and fun . \*\*\* UPDATE \*\*\* the day Amazon publish my comment the price drop to what I pay at B & H. I would have rather remain loyal to Amazon , and I see the return policy at my new vendor be two day , not the hassle free 30 from Amazon . while you need to always shop around , my most recent purchase through Amazon fall through due to price increase while in the Cart . I understand Amazon work with many merchant to bring you excellent value , but they can not afford abandon order at any price . just my opinion ! +300 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 this review may be premature as I have be use this product only for a week . however , some thing immediately stand out : 1 . it do NOT produce surround sound and it be not mean to . so do not be fool by the `` Air surround extreme '' kinda jargon . you will clearly hear sound come out of the speaker bar and that be about it . do not expect sound to bounce off the wall and come at you from the side or from behind you . I be use a optical cable to connect the tv to the receiver . not sure hdmus would make any difference . 2 . the receiver be simple and the build in subwoofer have solid bass performance . I have to bring the bass volumne down to 1 to keep it manageable . this be where you will feel it when watch a movie . it do a excellent job of amplify low frequency without distortion . 3 . unit work with tha harmony 700 remote . 4 . you will have to run setup and crank up the center speaker volume to be able to hear human voice , else they get subdue by the music . out of the box , I could hardly hear actor speak . change to the center column to a 5 or 6 -lrb- max -rrb- do the trick . I be impressed by the sub , but let down by the bar speaker - they sound exactly like desktop speaker . it be a $ 300 system and sound like one . if you be on a budget , I would recommend it . if not , keep look . +747 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I buy this and have be quite satisfied . I buy it cause i have have such great luck with jvc product and own other that i can link together . sound be execptional for small speaker . save private Ryan sound like you there on omaha beach . only thing i have trouble with be a set to activate the optical input from a default setting for the cd player , to be active on the dvd player . once its do everything just great . +476 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 not much to say except that I love this thing . it have great sound and be a perfect fit for a bedroom . +288 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I buy the Zenith xbs444 and spend the afternoon hide wire . but when I finally connect it all and turn it on , it work great for about 5 minute , then shut down . I could only turn it on again after 20-30 minute , then it would shut down again ... I be guess a heat sink be leave out and its overheating ... I 'll try a exchange for the same model . +781 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 ... I ... be have problem with the subwoofer . I follow the direction to the letter , and it work for about 45 seconds -lrb- on maximum volume -rrb- and it be very quiet , too ... then it die . I call AIWA support number , only to talk to a rude and uncaring representative . the system itself be really great otherwise ... ... easy to set up and the surround system sound great . but , I need to know why the subwoofer do not work . I truly think it be in the setup and connection , even though I have a expert hook it up for I . ... +197 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I receive the package quickly and in good quality . I read alot of the review on this model prior to buy it to see what con I would be face . I find mixed review and decide to go with it . after I receive the system I immediately hook it up . cable be alittle short but I do not mind . the overall quality of the sound be great . overall I be enjoy the setup . +731 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 many reviewer note the problem with the led go out but do not go into too much depth about the importance of the led , which make the decision to buy this product somewhat of a risk for I . therefore , I would like to focus my review on that aspect of the product . I have have my 510 for about 2 week now and have mostly love it . the led work flawlessly for I -lrb- so far -rrb- , but what be they really for ? what be the big deal with whether or not the light work ? okay ... there be 2 area of the light ; one area -lrb- on top -rrb- that tell you what `` audio mode '' you be in , and a second area that tell you volume and balance -lrb- whether bass be high\/low , whether the center channel be louder relative to the rear , etc -rrb- . the light on top tell you what signal you have . if you receive a dolby signal , the light on the leave -- directly underneath the DTS\/Dolby logo -- will come on and it will be blue . in the user manual , this light be refer to as be `` position 1 '' . if you receive a dt signal , the light under the DTS\/Dolby logo will be orange . if you do not receive a Dolby or DTS signal , that light just will not be on . I would imagine that if you do not have that light on , it would be annoying because you would not know -lrb- unless you have get the ear of a bat -rrb- for sure whether you be get a true hd signal . however , I do not have animalistic ear so I pretty much rely on that light to tell I whether I have get hd audio . the great thing about this setup though be that even without the Dolby\/DTS , the sound be fantastic . that be where sr come in , which basically simulate surround sound . you have 3 different version of SRS , each of which have very specific function . first there be sr truvolume , which be suppose to maintain consistent volume level when , for instance , change channel . you know how the volume for a tv show will be comfortable , but then the volume in the commercial blast you off the couch ? SRS TruVolume be suppose to prevent that . -lrb- for the record , I do not watch much tv and when I do I just use the tv speaker at a low level anyway , so I can not write on the efficiency of the TruVolume feature -rrb- . you 'll know if you have truvolume on when the Blue light come on right below the SRS logo -lrb- which Vizio refer to as `` position 3 '' -rrb- . next there be the SRS TruSurround feature , which will simulate a hd surround sound even if there be not a true hd audio source . here be what I love about this system , and why I probably would not care if the light fail . even though I do not have the most sensitive ear , I can tell a significant improvement in surround sound quality when the SRS TruSurround be turn on . you hit the SRS tshd button on you slide-out remote and you have get instant hd audio . if you light be work however , you 'll know you have this feature when the light in position 2 -lrb- in between the Dolby and SRS logo -rrb- turn blue . finally with sr , you have SRS WOW HD which be mainly for listen to music . currently I be listen to a fairly rock KT Tunstall track through these speaker and it sound like she be put on a show right in my house -- it be truly that clear . do a blind test -lrb- ie : if the light be not on -rrb- you can still figure out which setting -lrb- off , TruSurround , or WOW HD -rrb- be turn on . when off , the music sound flat . when Tru Surround be on , the music pretty much only come out of the front channel speaker and the instrument get drown out by the vocal . with WOW HD , it sound like a live concert setup ; it just sound natural be the best way I can describe it -- it be perfectly balance . the next set of light come from behind the soundbar foam -lrb- or whatever the technical term for the fabric that cover speaker be call -rrb- . if all volume and balance setting be factory default , you 'll have something that look like this : '' o -rrb- '' . if you turn up the volume , it 'll look like : '' o '' and so on and so forth . you can also adjust the bass , treble , sub , center , and rear channel . if you want more sound from the center channel , hit the right button and you 'll end up with something that look like : '' o '' . or if you want less from the center , '' o '' . when it be even , it 'll look like '' -lrb- o -rrb- '' . these light be probably more important than the orange and blue led because the change be much more subtle -- except for the volume level , which be quite noticeable . have these light work will let you know exactly where the level be . however , even with the light let I know where the level be , I still rely more on my own hearing to figure out where I want the sound to be . when I hit the up\/down button enough to where it sound good to I , I stop . the light indicator be nice and I hope mine do not quit , but it will not upset I too much if they fail . all in all , I be very impressed with the quality of these speaker . whether I be watch a blu-ray disc , a movie on Netflix or Amazon VOD , and whether I have a true-hd -lrb- Dolby or DTS -rrb- source , I feel like I be in the middle of the shot . everything sound crystal clear , from all speaker channel . the only negative about this setup be the lack of additional input . otherwise , it be nearly perfect . +955 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 just unboxed this - so far love this system . contrary to other review , you can replace the speaker quite easily , the speakerwire into the unit be a proprietary clip , but the speakerwire into the speaker be just bare wire with a basic clip so you can just use that end to connect to you exist speaker . the only glitch we have run into be streaming Hulu - for some reason this unit will not let we downgrade to standard defn streaming and as a result , Hulu do not stream well . -lrb- we use a PS3 for Hulu and it work great in the same location on standard definition -rrb- +367 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I be give up on this system . the CD changer take too long to change disc , and the system crash in one unit in 4 week - I exchange it and it break again after 2 week . luckily I pay for a extended warranty that allow immediate exchange as well as replacement for dissatisfaction -lrb- local retailer -rrb- . +259 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 the dvd player start freezing up on I after only a few month of use . sometimes if I unplug & plug it in again , it would temporarily fix the freezing problem ... for a few day ... maybe . a few week after the freezing start , the dvd player would not properly play dvd 's . I try several different disc , even brand new one ... same issue . the audio and video would not be line up , now it be only show half of the picture and the rest of the screen be yellow . my tv be fine , it be this rca dvd player . the player itself seem to get very hot , so maybe it be a overheating issue that cause all the problem ? overall , it be loud -lrb- lot of clunking noise when change disc -rrb- , slow -lrb- painfully slow , like 30 + seconds to load a disc -rrb- , and just plain unreliable . I have have better luck with my 3 year old apex dvd player -lrb- which never freeze up btw -rrb- . the speaker system have be pretty decent -lrb- so far -rrb- ... the only reason I give this system a 2-star rating . for close to $ 200 I expect something a lot more reliable that would not poop out on I after 2 month . my next dvd player will not be a rca ! +355 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 this system have no digital input , so if you want to use it with a xbox or a PlayStation 2 for dolby\/dts playback , you be out of luck . consider yourself warn . +55 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 HOW DO I get the surround sound to work with cable tv and not just the dvd . ALSO THANKS for the ipod hook up . jack +772 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I like this system because I can listen to AM and FM as well as home theater sound . I already have a very nice GoVideo DVD\/VHS so I do not need the extra dvd player . the receiver be kind of tall but the direction be straight forward . sound be excellent . great value for the money and a name brand . if all this could be deliver with less spaghetti style wiring out the back I would be happier . you need to order wall bracket for the speaker -lrb- cost $ 25-50 per pair , you 'll need 2 pair for a total of 4 bracket -rrb- +744 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 this be my very first surround sound system and it be still go strong . it be a nice look system with decent sound . I knock off one star because of how obtrusive it be . it be best suit for a dedicated theater room and do not go well with small space . of course you have all the wiring to deal with , but at least you can purchase a wireless receiver for the rear speaker if you so desire . the control let 's you change the channel on you tv and turn it off and on . regard sound quality , it be a nice sound , base heavy . I currently own a bose cinemate system . compare , you can see how i would now feel how cumbersome this unit be . for the price , i would still recommend this panasonic system . +70 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 ok well i just purchace this product and I be havee trouble get it hook up . I be havee all kind of static in the speaker , as well as no sound at time . if anyone have any advice or might know what could be wrong please let I know . you can e-mail I at trinity_62@excite.com or leave it on here . I will be look on here for a review . please help w\/this problem so if anyone else have this problem we can stop this from hap to a oviously good system . thanks , trinity_62 +203 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 so far the home theater system be fine . at first sound be not up to par until I buy a optic hookup to replace the rca cord . one small irritating problem be the sound mute sometimes when change channel ... might be Charter Cable . ??? sound return when change back and fourth or on and off . +666 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I recently purchase this , in the hope of get a nice home theater system without spend the big buck . I be very surprise when I open the box on how good look the unit itself be . installation and setup be a breeze . after hook it all up and pop in my first dvd I be amaze . I have friend who have thousand dollar home theater system , and this one definitely hold its own . I would recommend this unit to anyone in the market for a new home theater system . +390 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I receive my norcent dp1800 17.12.03 . I be so excite with it . I set it up immediately . it sound great . my wife and I first watch lord of the Rings & quot ; the two Towers & quot ; at first she say where be the bass , I think it would have have more bass , and then it hit she wow what great sound . she be not easily impressed , but she be with the dp1800 . the only thing though be that the power can not be turn on or off with the remote . other than that , I recommend it to anyone who be interested in a highly efficient low price range home Theater System . it be a great buy . +417 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this be a test . after I write my review the program perform a a illegal operation and be shut down . before I try again to type my review , I be run this test . +623 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I buy this unit from Amazon about 6 month ago . I must admit , this be a very stylish system with very low profile . the dvd player itself be very very slim . it be wider than normal component though . sound be pretty decent . I have not have any problem with the sound . some folk have complain about the subwoofer be weak . but in my setup it be deliver robust and rich bass . I think this unit be not mean to be in a very big room . in small room sound be great . the remote feel flimsy . I be scared one day may 20 month old daughter be go to break it and my system will be unusable . sometimes the button need to be press hard . and since there be no indicator lead on the remote , you can not tell if the button get press or not . little annoying . it do not play dvd-rw or dvd + rw . I think this day and age all dvd player need to handle the above format . +433 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 the product quality be exemplary although complicated to set up and the instruction not easy +213 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 well , this unit be great until it die . now , like a majority of people who have review this , I be have the exact same problem . I turn it on , it be good for a few moment , -lrb- usually less than a minute -rrb- , and then I hear some thump from the sub and deadsy . my guess be it be the power supply or maybe the cooling system , either way , there be a common theme among these unit , whatever be defective in mine , be most likely defective in everyone els . +6 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 after a little over a year of use a circuit board , on this ht-920 home theater system , develop a small crack result in intermittent sound . this be the diagnosis of one of they certify repair center . this system sit in the same place the whole time and be not move . the repair center communicate it be a know issue with the poor design , with the external speaker connector be part of the board . this be not in warranty period and the replacement part be no longer available . the repair center think Panasonic would replace subwoofer at no charge as they say Panasonic be aware of the issue and the new sub design have change as a result . do not happen . this be the second instance in the last 5 year where I have have a issue with a Panasonic home theater system and a know design issue . the other be with the ht-900 where a Panasonic engineer admit the defect and they do replace that system . I also own a Boston acoustic -lrb- 9 year -rrb- and Aiwa -lrb- 15 year -rrb- with no issue . to Panasonic 's credit I be very please with the 7 year old tv I own . I will not buy another home theater sound system from they and will think twice about purchase other Panasonic product . this be unfortunate as I be in the market for 2 lcd or plasma 42 '' tv and I have read allot of good thing about they plasma and lcd tv . +735 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this item be so much more than I think it would be . for the money to get a stereo \/ dvd player and radio it be unbelievable . it look great and sound better . my family love it . +641 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I buy this in early 2003 . dvd drawer will only open with the remote . now half of the remote function will not work and there be no other way to access thing . my center speaker stop work -lrb- no dialogue -rrb- . it be not the speaker . but the remote will not work when I try to change the mode to a different output . so be now useless . +117 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 very nice for small to medium size live room ! my only complaint be the lack of any configuration setting other than subwoofer and volume level . you can not turn the sub off and the lowest setting be still pretty bumpin . I live in a apartment and do not want to be too un-neighborly late at night . +372 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I be completely happy with this purchase . it be simple to hook up ... even for a tech delinquent like I ! I do not realize how sad the speaker in my tv be until I get this . it be great for movie as well as music listening . good buy ... love it ! +770 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I be a little affraid about this system -lrb- lot of mix in the review -rrb- , however , I be pretty impressed when I plug all the cable , the sound be not a 5.1 system but this be just what I need in we living room , great sound for low price . +271 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 my display also quit work just after it go out of warranty -lrb- 1 year -rrb- . there be obviously a issue with these . since Panasonic be not address it , I suggest you avoid this one ! +212 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 great product for the price . note : it be not obvious to I that the surround -lrb- back -rrb- speaker be not wireless , they connect to the subwoofer that be wireless -lrb- except for ac power -rrb- . +567 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 my brother just get this system for really cheap at best buy and he ask I to look at it to see if it be a good deal to keep . after that I like the system so much that I buy it for myself . it have really good sound for the price and the 5 Disc dvd player be essential . its also pretty nice look . overall , im very pleased with it . +679 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 Easy to set up and give great sound ! it be a bit cumbersome to adjust which surround sound setting you want to use , but that have to be due to the low price . very happy with this product ! +856 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I purchase this denon system after a lot of web searchng and price compare . I want a kickass home system but can not afford the high end equipment . I spend many hour on-line and a couple in best buy look at mid-priced system . I narrow my choice to either this denon system or a equivelant Yamaha . I play with the new 7.1 system in the store , which make my choice easy . I want the Yamaha because of the name and dependability , and I prefer its reciever function . BUT , the speaker for the denon blow the yamaha 's out of the water ! if you look at the new system in best buy it come with little boston 's . the speaker that come with this setup be twice the size of the boston 's or the yamaha 's . I have have the system for almost a month and love it . the first 20 min I be very disappointed , until I figure out the volume go from negative to positive -lrb- I be stop close to zero and think that be it . . idiot -rrb- . I do the standard setup option for ease of get go , and I havent mess with it since because it sound great . it be in a large room in a 1700sqft house , and it will go much louder than you want . if yo want a 5.1 system for under $ 350 this be the bang for the buck , otherwise you better step up to expensive system . the only con I have be that both the reciever and speaker be bigger than you think ... so do some measuring ... I have to adjust my entertainment center a bit to fit in the reciever . enjoy ! +797 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I buy this unit 3 day ago from a brick and mortar store -lrb- bb -rrb- . last night I hook it up and in test it notice that the left speaker be not work very well , actually barely work and very muffle . I be so dissapointed . the system do have some good Audio setup feature and test to run . I run they all which enforce that the speaker be defective . I switch the left and right speaker to see if the problem stay with the speaker or if it could be a wire problem or the output connection on the blu-ray . the problem stay with the speaker . I be also curious if the sub woofer be not work properly either . this be the first time I have own a sub woofer and I do not know how loud they be suppose to get . this one be not very loud at all . when I go into setting and adust db level from +6 to -6 the sound barely change . I call Samsung support who verify I go through some troubleshooting step . they say my option be to send the speaker and blue-ray unit in for repair . I laugh in he face . he give I another option to call Executive support when I ask for a replacement . that suppport center be close and do not open until later today . I will post a update as to what they will do . I do play with the unit a bit last night and be very satisfied with the way the work speaker sound . I love how it integrate with my tv via Anynet , but be dissapointed that I still need to use two remote . the blue-ray remote do not have useful button on it like Favorite channel or even Channel list . if you want to browse the tv station it have to be a manual up and down or choose the channel by the number ! this will make we the tv remote . the tv remote do not have all the blu-ray option . oh well . perhaps one day i will not care when I get a cable set top box w\/dvr . the wireless on the unit work well . I be worry most about this feature . Easy to setup and find my network . I even update the firmware and install some internet app . I do have to say though that the internet app interface be a bit unattractive and try to type letter and number into the remote be too difficult . I will mainly use it for Netflix and Vudu and Pandora . the iphone\/ipod dock work too . the interface on that be a bit unattractive as well and it do not bring over any album cover . I would have like to use the iPhone interface to control the music , but you only have the option of use the remote and tv interface to choose playlist , album . -lrb- I think , I do not play with it too much -rrb- . I play a dvd -lrb- no blu-ray yet -rrb- and it work well and look great . the FM radio work too , but I do not play with it very much and do not see if I could load preset , etc. . I will update later unless I have to take the unit back . Update : 12\/17 - so Executive support end up be a pretty good experience . the lady I speak with send I , free of charge , both a new left speaker and subwoofer . it take about 14 day to arrive and they work great . I do not even have to send in the defective speaker . the system sound wonderful . very happy with quality . I have play blu-ray movie and they look awesome . I be disappoint in the Netflix application on this unit . it be not reliable and sometimes will need to reload 3 time during a movie\/show . most of the time it hang and the only button on the remote that work be the off button to the player . I be still not positive about where the problem lie . I think it could be the Netflix server , my wireless access point -lrb- only g not n -rrb- , or the player itself -lrb- wireless usb device -rrb- . well , after play with the player option , I believe it be the Netflix application on the player . the other application do not hang or require constant reloading -lrb- youtube , Vudu -rrb- and my wireless signal be reliable for those other app too . the signal be not go through any wall either . my other friend say there Netflix app do not have this problem so I be rule out the Netflix server too . I just think the Netflix app on Samsumg blu-ray player just need fix . I be hope software update will someday make it more reliable . I will also mention that even though Youtube be available , I will never use it . the interface to input keyword use the remote be more of a pain than you can ever imagine . not worth it . base on this update , I be up my rating from a 2 to a 3 . if Netflix be more reliable , it would be a 4 , but Netflix be the main reason for the internet access . +738 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 after two month of own the sd-43ht , about half of my dvd would not play . the display would read `` no disc . '' if I repeatedly turn the power off and on again I could get some of the disc to play . this system can play other region code dvd , but not all of they . some of my region 3 will not play , even before the dvd player break . the dvd player also take way too long to load a disc . the picture be lousy . any bright red color will distort and jitter on the screen . the sound be not much better than tv speaker . the subwoofer be boomy amd flat sound and much louder than the rest of the speaker . the dvd player do not have audio output , so you can not play a movie without the speaker that come with the system . the digital input be too large so you optical cable just sit in the input and fall out if the dvd player be move . if you connect another dvd player or game console to the sd-43ht through the digital input , the audio will go out of sync for any Dolby source . dt play fine though ... also , the video out connector be also loose so you can not get a signal to the tv without hold the cable . -lrb- yes , I try other cable -rrb- the angle mark can not be turn off , which be very annoying if you have a disc with multiple camera angle . I read the entire manual -lrb- horribly write , by the way -rrb- and there be no way to remove the angle mark . oh yeah , do not buy this . +884 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I buy this as a gift , and believe I when I say it be a terrible disappointment when I set it up and find that the sound come out of the center and surround channel -lrb- but not the front channel -rrb- be completely mangled by the receiver . I try everything , but no matter what , CDs play in pro logic and Dolby Digitial encode dvd sound awful . strangely , if I play cd or dvd in stereo , it sound great , so I believe there be something wrong with the surround channel amplifier . +710 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 all as I say in the previous edition of this review -lrb- see below -rrb- except there appear to be no way to hack this system so it can play dvd from other region via its supply remote , a special remote , or a firmware disc . it have to be `` chip '' which could void its warranty . however , this be not Pioneer 's fault . it be require under the CSS lisence issue by the dvd copy and Control Association that manufacturer sell they dvd system set to the region that correspond with the country a dvd player be sell in . some manufacturer believe that as long as they sell it set to the appropriate region , it do not matter what individual do with they player once they be out of the box , therefore they include Easter egg in the firmware . however , other manufacturer believe that Easter egg in the firmware defeat the purpose of the dvd region system , therefore make it impossible for individual to easilly either manually change region or turn on automatic region switching . unfortunately , this just so happen to be the case with this item . however , there be still a way around this . this system be equip with a Coaxial Digital input jack . if you be interested in foreign material , you might want to consider the CyberHome dvd 300 s , available at Amazon for $ 45 . use as short of a coaxial digital cable as possible , connect the CyberHome to the Pioneer . the region hack can be apply to the CyberHome as follow : turn on you tv set to the video input the CyberHome be connect to . turn on the CyberHome . Make sure there be no disc in it . on the CyberHome 's supply remote , type menu 1 9 . Make sure the region number be highlight . repeatedly press enter to select the region of the dvd you plan on watch -lrb- ' 0 ' be not recommend because of the possibility of other country incorperate rce encode on they dvd in the future -rrb- . Press the open\/close -lrb- triangle with a line under it -rrb- on the front pannel of the CyberHome to exit the menu and open the trey . insert you dvd and presto ! for best sound quality , set all the option to ` raw ' on the CyberHome 's ` audio ' setup menu , and where ` raw ' be not a option , set those option to ` PCM . ' now for my review of the Pioneer htd-540dv . after research home-theatre-in-a-box type system since early October , 2004 , I finally decide on this one . I order mine on November 20 , 2004 from onecall in addition to the standard audio and video format find on all htib , this be the only one that can play the two new audio format of dvd-audio and sacd . the rest only play one or the other . this be the only htib with a intigrated dvd player on the market whose speaker include large cone for more authentic sound . unless you have very limited space , it be not necessary to spend more than $ 400 on a htib . many of the more expensive one include either gimic such as smaller speaker cone house inside large floor-standing tower only for a nice appearance , or small satelite speaker with smaller cone inside they that can only produce highly authentic sound either through sofisticate electronic circuitry , the use of a extra-large subwoofer , or a combination of the above . there be no cosmetic or electronic gimmic with the Pioneer htd-540dv . the reason it be less expensive be because the real thing be simpler to manufacture than extra-large speaker stand and\/or sofisticate electronic circuitry for special affect . and remember , nothing can truely beat the real thing . this htib be highly recommend . +473 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I purchase the upgrade model that include a philip dvd -lrb- separate unit -rrb- , all other equipment be the same . the power and quality be spectacular . the number of input allow I to connect all my equipment to and be control by this one receiver . it have all the type of input I need , such as fiber optical and multiple s-video connection . +314 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 buy this system locally a few day ago and be really pleased . get a great price on it . sound it really good . high be quite clean compare to a Yamaha system I be also look at and the sub be powerfull with 100 self power watt . plenty of input except for s-video , but none of my other component have s-video either so it do not really matter to I . remote control be decent , though somewhat confuse at first . I will control my reciever and tv , but do not seem to control my cable box . setup take a little while , but that be mostly due to have to work behind my entertainment center with no light . surround setup take a bit of tweaking to get right but the manual lay it out decently though the info be sometimes a bit scatter around and hard to find . overall a gread system for the money . +699 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 we upgrade we hdtv and blu-ray player , so I decide to upgrade the receiver too , so that it would all be hdmus . I find the Sony , and it seem like a good deal , and it be super skinny , so it fit well into we new tv stand . setup be easy , and the little microphone that let you auto-program speaker distance be very cool . but from the start , the left channel speaker seem very weak , at time nearly silent . and at first , when play a blu-ray , the system would shut down after 10 minute . later , I find out that there be a auto shutoff if the receiver do not detect action . why it can not detect a Sony blu-ray player , I have no idea , but I turn that off , and it seem to fix the problem . sadly , not entirely . I also have a Pioneer pd-f1009 300 CD player that be around 10 year old -lrb- though they still sell this model today -rrb- . it be connect through rca-input . when play cd through the receiver , it may play fine , or it may turn off after a few minute . after you turn it back on , again , it may play fine , or it may turn off in 2 minute , in 30 seconds , in three seconds . after have enough of this , I exchange the unit for a new one . and I still have exactly the same problem . I do not have this problem with the Logitech bluetooth pc music input , just the CD player . Sony 's online tech have never hear of the problem , and only could suggest that I plug the power directly into the wall instead of a power strip . no dice , do not work . otherwise , I love the system . I hope to solve my problem . update to add that I have do a lot of research , and suspect that my stereo be go into `` protect mode , '' due to a possible short in a speaker wire . why this be so random , and why it seem to only happen with the CD player , I have no idea . but I will investigate , and report back my finding . update again to say that YES , it be a short -- apparently in my Radio Shack A\/B\/C speaker switch -- that be cause my problem . I plug the left front speaker wire directly to the speaker -lrb- bypass the switch -rrb- , and the problem have not happen since . so , now I be on a quest for a replacement switch ! but I have upgrade my review to 4 star , and I hope I have help someone who have have a similar problem . +898 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I just receive this stereo as a gift , and I have to say , I be quite surprised ! it be very unassuming base on appearance , but once you get everything hook up , the stereo really come alive ! I watch a few movie , and be blow away by how much depth the system have , as well as the full range provide by the surround 5 speaker . also , allow optical audio input make this essentially a receiver with a built-in dvd player . however , I personally do not use the dvd player on this unit , as I do not need it . Worth note , this unit do NOT have any hdmus input ! it only have one output , and that be for the built-in dvd player . it be need for setup , but after that , you can safely ignore the hdmus output . also , when use the optical audio input , be sure to set the receiver to Cable\/TV mode to get you sound . = -rrb- also , base on market price , I would say it would be hard to find something this good for this price . if you be look for a all-in-one unit that have great sound and a great price and be easy to setup , this be definitely worth consider . +211 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 the product make you feel like you be in a theater . one thing must be point out it be a additional $ 300 - to make the surround speakre wireless , and that be wireless from the main unit only . not specify in the instruction . I live with the extra charge . still get mu money worth . +435 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 after less than 40 hour of use , the sd-43ht freeze with the `` HELLO PROTECTION GOODBYE '' message on the display . I be really disappoint by the quality of Toshiba product . +943 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I be very disappointed with this system , my integrate tv speaker sound better than this system , needless to say I have return it . after read review and see the `` savings '' I think it would be a good buy . the biggest problem be the sound bar do not produce quality sound . it be a small cheap feeling bar , and it sound , well , small and cheap . the bar have no middle , and the result be no matter what the setting , I have difficulty understand dialog during movie . imagine hook up a subwoofer to you cell phone speaker . the integrate receiver and subwoofer seem like a good idea when I purchase . however , after set up and some use some problem with this setup become obvious to I . First be you have a component that will now vibrate . this mean it be recommend keep it isolate from device such as tv and dvd\/blueray player . the receiver be bigger than I expect so this become more of a issue than I expect . Second be that unless you have some odd home theater setup , the result of this integration be that you have a line of sight bass reflex port point at you . this make the bass unpleasant . instead of that bass fill the room feeling , it be come right at you from one place . I now understand why most subwoofer face down or towards the wall . I have a open floor plan room so I return think maybe my room be too big for a sound bar . however end up try a VIZIO soundbar with wireless subwoofer . the result be a great surprise . my room be not to big for a soundbar , this one just be not very good . +604 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I should have read the review first . the surround sound set up pretty easy , but when I go to turn on the sound , two of the speaker make a high pitched noise , like a tea kettle , the whole time . I do not matter what the volume , the noise be always there . I can not return the item or have it repair ; simply stick with this home theater . I hate it and as I read the review now , this irritating noise be all too common . excitement turn into a frustrating ordeal that end in disappointment . you get what you pay for ... Buyer beware +858 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 the receiver be work pretty well until we have a recent power failure - since then it be difficult to get it to stay on . it like to flash the red standby button and fail to come on . my guess be there be something seriously wrong with it - follow the troubleshoot info in the manual and do not really feel like pay to send it for repair and wait , so will be look for a different brand receiver . +185 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 the design goal for flat panel tv be to manufacture they to be as thin as possible and to minimize the boarder to optimize the view area . unfortunately , this leave very little room for built-in speaker and the consequence be `` tinny '' or `` shrill '' sound from the tv 's tiny speaker . even though a soundbar be relatively small , the sound quality be rich and full . add in the subwoofer , and you will hear the bass that you be \* suppose \* to hear . after listen to the Yamaha yht-400bl sound system , I can barely believe I do not notice the tv 's poor sound quality earlier . pro : 1 -rrb- once you know what configuration you wish to setup , put it together be very simple 2 -rrb- the soundbar be stylish and look like it be part of the tv . con : 1 -rrb- the instruction manual do not specify the configuration where the tv be the central point for the video input source -lrb- dvd player or Set Top box such as appletv -rrb- . 2 -rrb- do not come with hdmus cable or Optical Audio cable . this sort of make sense , as you configuration determine which cable be require -lrb- but not both -rrb- 3 -rrb- yet another remote control to clutter up the coffee table -lrb- or where ever you keep they -rrb- 4 -rrb- the subwoofer be somewhat large and the expose speaker be not very aesthetically please . you also have to make room for the subwoofer . 5 -rrb- the soundbar slightly block the IR remote control receiver on the tv , so I have to raise the remote control high enough to hit the sensor . 6 -rrb- for my configuration -lrb- tv be central point for input -rrb- , the tv speaker must be off , otherwise there be a annoying `` echo '' effect . Yamaha claim this be a extended surround sound , but the echo effect and the mismatch in speaker quality make it , in my opinion , useless . 7 -rrb- if you configure the Yamaha as I do , the result be there be a bunch of electronics in the subwoofer that be not be use . I think Yamaha should have offer a simple configuration , such as the one I be use , and save the customer some money . instead of follow the instruction manual , which suggest have the Yamaha system be the central point for the video input source , I choose to have the tv to be the central point . for this configuration : 1 -rrb- I need to purchase a Optical Audio cable -lrb- I go to Radio shack , pn 15-239 for $ 25.99 -rrb- 2 -rrb- a side benefit be I do not have to move hdmus cabling from the tv to the Yamaha system . conclusion : I buy the Yamaha yht-400bl for ~ $ 300 -lrb- they be clear the channel -rrb- and for that price , I would absolutely buy it again . the latest model -lrb- yht-401bl -rrb- retail for $ 699 , and while not the value what I pay , it be worth consider if you absolutely must have great sound . +815 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 Player consistently skip chapter as you watch the movie . do not recognize that a disc have beed insert half of the time . a very frustrating piece of equipment to use . Poor choice on my part . money would be better spend some where else . +195 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I have this system for just about 2 month and I think it be great ! I have no complaint about this system . the overall quality be great whether you be watch a dvd , play a dvd-audio , listen to a cd or even just listen to the stereo . if you be look for a system that be compact , stylish , sound great and do not cost a arm and a leg , get this one ! +914 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I purchase mlt-2 after look at various speaker for long time . Amazon and Newegg have it for a great price of $ 350 with free shipping and I jump all over it on Amazon due to its friendly return policy . I have have it for a month now and I love it . originally , I be plan to buy 2 additional floor standing speaker to make it a 7.1 channel set up , but now with the quality of sound , I be not plan to add as I be very satisfied . the subwoofer be also very powerful . overall its a great buy . +608 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 customer service - the Panasonic website claim this be very important to they . I have my home theater only 3-4 month when a VCR tape get stick . I have now be at the service center for almost 4 month ! when I be lucky enough to get a response from Panasonic -lrb- which be rare -rrb- , they make promise of completion and\/or replacement . but promise will not play the dvd 's my family would have like to watch together over the holiday . when we finally get through to the customer service center on the phone , they have the nerve to hand up on we twice . if you want a COMPANY to stand behind THEIR PRODUCTS - stay away from PANASONIC !!! I have truly give up hope of even get my home theater back from the Panasonic service center . +975 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 after do alot of research , look for the perfect home theater system . I find it with the Vizio VHT510 . the sound be amazing and wireless sub feature make my set up look almost invisible . I love and recommend it to anyone look . +143 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I just love this home theater system ! I get this as a gift and for all of you interested in purchase one I would highly recommend it ! everyone that see 's it want one ! +487 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 the speaker all sound very clean , especialy the sub . overall this system pack a very impressive punch . the tradeoff for the quality speaker be that the reciever do NOT play cd or dvd 's . it would also be nice if the system come with a a\/v cable or 2 , but it do come with speaker wire . all that be say the reason you be read this be because you want to look for a sound system , and for the money you can not find one better than this . +685 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I buy this product before Christmas and be amaze by the quality . it be under $ 50 ! I must emphasize I have a very small living room and I do not think this would do much in anything bigger . but if you be look for surround sound for you bedroom or a small living room DO IT ! +165 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I purchase this system because of the wireless capability , well right out of the box the wireless tower do not work . not a good start ! I will be call support today . to be continue . Well strike two and I be do . I send the first one back because the wireless tower do not work right out of the box . they send I another one , and guess what ? it do not work either . when I talk to Samsung support they sound as if this be happen a lot ? I think they need to work the bug out before they ship the product out . +291 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this system be loud . watch tv with it , I rarely if ever turn it up about 12 . watch movie I have listen at 15 on the volume control . once , just out of curiousity , I turn it up to the max -lrb- 40 -rrb- and be amaze to hear -lrb- with what be leave of my hearing -rrb- almost no degradation in sound quality . I also get a noise complaint from 3 story down and diagonally across the dorm building . extremely impressive power . the most impressive thing be the ability to decode DTS right in the system . this make the system excellent for anyone look for a simple system that provide a top-notch audio experience . the lack of a component out put be actually not as much of a concern as I now run hdmus , so I run it directly to the tv and then run a Optical audio cable to the input on the speaker . you still get the 5.1 no problem . I have use this system for 4 year now with my ps2 , tv and watch dvd and I must say that I have friend invite themselves over just to watch movie and play game at my house because of the sound . excellent , excellent system with clean , simple design . +107 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 difficult to set up . the speaker do not work . the subwoofer be more annoying than pleasurable . I should have purchase a couple of quality speaker instead of this product . still have not set it up yet !!! +562 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I buy the Jensen JHT350 Home Theater System for use in a 8 ' x 10 ' exercise room and use it mainly to watch music and concert dvd while work out . the video quality be very good , although it be on occasion necessary to open and close the disk drawer two or three time before a dvd will load in the player . the audio can be easily hear over the noise of a treadmill and exercise bike , with plenty of volume leave to burn . the audio quality be acceptable , but can not compare with the near concert hall quality produce by more sophisticated home theater system . there be a distinct tinny sound in the upper register at high volume . the subwoofer be passive , which mean it lack its own amplifier and power supply and use instead the amplifier in the receiver . the unit perform Dolby Digital 5.1 decoding , but have no dt decoder . there be both digital coaxial and digital optical audio output , which make it possible to connect the dvd player to a better sound system , but there be no digital audio input . this make it impossible to obtain digital sound from a cable or satellite receiver . there be , however , leave and right analog stereo input and the prologic feature can use to obtain simulated surround sound from a external source , such as a tv or cable receiver , connect to these input . the FM receiver pull in a fair number of station , but the AM receiver pick up only two station , and I be located in a major metropolitan area which have numerous AM station . the button on the remote be not very intuitive and be poorly arrange . once the unit be turn off , it have no memory of any setting for a particular dvd , include the place in the dvd where playback be stop . the operator ' manual section deal with some of the audio setting be incomprehensible and my email to Audiovox and its agent request clarification have not yield any useful information . in summary , this item offer some feature find in better home theater system for a relatively low price , but it also have quite a few limitation . +610 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 Works great ! have not test a 3d movie yet , but the sound be amazing . Easy to hook up . the s-air really work without a glich . go great with my Sony setup : xbr60lx900 3d hdtv with active shutter glass and the PS3 -lrb- to include 3D gaming - wipeout hd be awesome ! -rrb- . it have two hdmus input and one hdmus output , perfect for I - PS3 and DirecTV box connect to the ht , then the ht connect to the tv . now the only slight problem be that the device be a bit slow to remote command when switch input , e.i. hdmi1 , hdmi2 , FM Tuner , BD player ... and to the menu -lrb- PS3 type -rrb- . other than that ... simply amazing ! +46 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 the sc-ht800v dvd\/vcr home Theater be great with the exception of the remote control . it be somewhat confuse for the first few time you be try to use it . you must learn what the shift key be there for and then figure out everything else out . the manual really could use some extra pointer on remote use and hook the system to a dss system . it take I two day to ever get stereo sound come from my dss . other than these problem , I highly recommend this product . +90 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 get close to my 30 day evaluation period , and I be not sure if I 'll return it to Amazon ; thing be , I have not even be able to use it , since I can not figure out how to connect everything . Problem be , the manual only show the most basic or common connection setup , assume everyone have the same , generic hookup situation . no guidance in manual for the following : 1 . my cable box have no hdmus output , so I be not sure how to connect tv signal : the manual say nothing about connect it to you tv if you do not have hdmus , except the cryptic diagram show dmport adapter input into a tv 's Video input ; 2 . anyway , I do not have the `` Digital Media Port adapter '' show diagram in the manual , so I can not use that dmport to output signal to my tv , as show in the manual -lrb- pg 20 -rrb- ; 3 . Manual also mention plug in a ipod cradle into this dmport , but that would make it a input port , not a output like show on pg 20 ; so what be it ? this dmp adapter they refer to numerous time be not even show on Sony 's website nor on Amazon anywhere . and why do not they tell I that I need this adapter to connect it to the video input of my tv ??? what a lousy way to put together a user manual for a complex piece of equipment . of course there be no help number to call Sony to ask they what they intend for these situation . anyone have any idea ? my return time be run out . thanks . +295 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I buy it , from amazon , in Sept of 2002 for $ 220 . it die today . what the other say about the remote and the on screen menu be true . it be also true that the sound be great for the price . I use it daily and get my money 's worth . +734 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 although the dvd player & speaker be nice , the sound be still really loud when the volume be turn down to `` 1 '' . the volume be completely off at `` 0 '' and be loud at `` 1 '' , very loud at `` 2 '' , and continue up until it be ridiculously loud . I try fiddle with all of the setting , but I could not reduce the volume to a moderate or soft level . since I live in a apartment , I want to watch dvd at a moderate volume with theater-quality sound . I could only get the sound moderate-to-soft by turn off most of the speaker , which defeat the purpose of a home-theater system . +251 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I have own this system since June 2004 . ok for a basic system , but you can do better , even with home-theater-in-a-box . in many way , I prefer my old 1997 Pioneer 5x100w receiver & 1999 Pioneer dvd player . pro 's - very stylish look - great sound clarity for this level system - appreciate the color-code speaker connection CON 's - it be reasonably loud , but i just do not feel the raw power . my friend have a $ 2000 Denon system that have the same clarity , but shake you to the bone ! more comparably , i have a 1997 Pioneer system w \/ 100w per channel -lrb- same as dav-fc8 -rrb- , but feel more powerful , albeit way less refine . - occasionally , dvd will start-up with no sound . a power-off\/power-on sequence usually fix this - surround sound seem weak - my LR surround speaker have become very staticy . sony do not sell a replacement part , so they want $ 130 to repair . - disc take a long time to change\/load . make this worse , the dvd player do not resume a disc from where you leave off after turn the system off\/on . - you can not save separate sound field 's for each function -lrb- video-in , Tuner , dvd , etc. -rrb- - the front speaker be easily topple by a small child -lrb- my 9-month old nephew , in this case -rrb- +867 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I buy this unit as a present for my husband , the first one we have only a month , it continually freeze up during frame until it finally freeze up and we could not get the door to open and give back the dvd . we return it and the new one have the same problem . the disc regardless of the brand skip , freeze up , the audio and video will become unlined . I believe one of the prior review be correct in say that the unit overheat . most of the time when we turn the unit it on it make a horrible loud noise , we will have to turn it off and on until it start up fine . the sound , once it get go , have great quality but I would not recommend purchase this item . +302 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 like the sound and picture quality until the cooling fan fail after about a year . now dvd and some cd freeze up after it get too hot unless I keep a portable fan blow on it during operation . purchase it at Media Play which have since go out of business . have a -lrb- -rrb- time find a replacement fan . also wish I would have invest a little more and purchase one with a multiple CD changer . +118 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I be look for a mini system with good sound and dvd playback and find it . the sound be great . it have all the feature you can expect . be able to have 5 cd\/dvd\/mp3 be very useful . it be just what you need if you want value for you money . even the speaker be very good and solid . it even show on the tv screen all detail of cd\/mp3 . Panasonic do a good job with come up with a system like this . the only thing i be wait for be for Panasonic to come with a subwoofer to add to this system . that will be great ! +24 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I have read all of the review , and while I can see both side of the coin , be aware that sure `` it be a nice little budget system '' if you be plan to replace it next year . if you want to spend $ 220 per year on a home entertainment system , that be fine . after purchase the system and be tell by customer service after 10 month `` send we $ 200 and we 'll send you a new unit '' rather than offer any type of repair - I 'll shop elsewhere for my system . in this instance , you get what you pay for . +489 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 after save for we dream dvd home Theater we buy the KLH 7000h from BestBuy TM . the machine just freeze up and could not even be use to control the other auxiliary input like cable tv or vcr . occasionaly prior to the complete failure the sound would crackle . what make this dvd home Theater a nightmare be that neither the toll free number nor the email address include or the internet at large have be able to connect we to the manufacturer to resolve the problem . for near $ 200 I do not expect the best of product , but I expect to get more than 11 month of service from the thing . +642 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I recently purchase a LG LHB335 BluRay all in one surround sound home theater system from best buy . the center and right rear speaker emit a whistle noise that sound like a teapot when boil . not quite that loud , but enough to be a very undesirable noise in a new unit . I take the first one back , bb give I another . same thing . then another . same thing . I have connect it to another location with speaker wiring and a monster power supply and yes , it do the same thing ! I call LG and they say they have no report on this problem , but when a search be conduct , many people be complain . until this issue be resolve , I would suggest not buy this unit ! EDIT -- more detail : the lhb335 have a horrible `` Tea Pot '' whistle noise emit from the center speaker . it also come from the right rear speaker at time . it be so annoying that I take it back to best buy . exchange for another and same thing ! I relocate the unit on a different electrical circuit and that do not help . buy a expensive monster power supply due to best buy recommendation which do NOT help at all . they ask I to try unit # 3 and it also have the same noise ! to make sure that it be not just a building electrical problem , I install it in a friend home . same issue ! I call LG to discuss the problem and they say they have no report of such a problem . that be not true . the internet have many comment regard this speaker noise issue . after talk with some friend , they too have return unit with the same problem . I really like the feature of the lhb335 , but will not buy another one unless LG can assure I that it will be one that do not whistle ! Edit -- even more detail : 2\/24\/2011 -- with all of the positive comment I have see post , especially with claim that the noise have be fix in unit manufacture after June 2010 , I think I 'll try another one for the basement game room . the price have be come down drastically , and no wonder with all the bad pr , so I pick one up for $ 249 from Amazon . I receive the unit in a couple of day , set it up -lrb- I can do it very quickly since I have be through more than a few of these -rrb- make the tweak for input and presto ... no whistle ... however there be no sound at all !!! after turn it off and on a few time the sound begin work . but the sound would quit and then restart after 3-5 seconds . after talk with LG 's deplorable customer service group , they say , `` we have not have any report of that problem , send it to we and we will look at it . '' once again LG display horrible concern for they customer satisfaction ! so it be go back to AMAZON and I will never ever even consider another LG product !!!! so be forewarn ... LG do NOT mean Life be good ... it mean lot of grief !!! +588 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I have be very impressed with all of Vizio 's product . I purchase the vht510 almost a month ago and have not have any issue . I have be wait for the lead issue to pop up but have be fortunate enough for that to not happen yet . the sound quality have be great . it be definitely highly recommend to use a optical cable versus the rca jack for optimum sound quality . setup be quick and easy . the wireless feature have be great for ease of setup due to not have to run wire across the room . +601 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I buy this unit as a way to combine basic surround sound with a dvd player . it work very well as a dvd and play mp3 and cd 's very well , except for the annoying hiss from the rear speaker in any mode except dvd . the unit also have AM\/FM reciever with huge number of pre-set in both mode . unfortunately , the antennae enclose do not do even a decent job . -lrb- I get better reception on a $ 5.00 clock-radio . -rrb- Works very well as a entry level dvd\/surround sound unit . +657 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this unit be not only well design for stylish -lrb- I like the blue light in the night -rrb- but also deliver very solid sound , especially when you play dvd-audio . the name `` compo '' mean it can do virtually all the current format on the planet , and yes it do -lrb- except the MiniDisc -rrb- . and unlike the other lesser model , the 3-way speak be magnetically-shielded , which mean put along the tv set be not a issue at all . the lesser model -lrb- pm19 -rrb- have a 5-line big screen to show you track\/disc information . this one not . but when I connect it to the tv , it have more power to show all relavant information . unbelievable . the japanese model -lrb- sc-pm900dvd -rrb- have a extra which I would like to have , md , and it be world-fastest 6x speed cd to md recording system . it just locate below the mirror screen . however , the price tag in Japan be somewhere between 45000 to 50000 yen -lrb- about $ 450 to 500 -rrb- . consider that , $ 250 msrp in US be a steal ! . the only thing I do not like be the remote control : just way to complicate . I do not know how to operate the 90 % of the command without consult the manual . maybe this be also a good indication that this baby can do a lot , I just do not know how to tell it to do . +199 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I purchase this awhile back for my new Viore flatscreen tv on a serious budget . after hunting around everywhere I land on this one and give it a shot . keep in mind , I be use this in my bedroom and have not use it outside of that but the quality be great ! I hook it up with a optional input cable through my xbox360 and could not have ask for more ! I have the speaker set up around my bed and on the table in front of it and it be perfect for what I be look for . I be not a tech guru but my boyfriend help I put everything together and he be plan on get one for he bedroom . it be not the killer , magnificent sound you will get with macho speaker but it be great for a secondary room or if you want the pleasure of surround sound without kill you decor . I have watch movie , anime , and play video game on it and so far it have do nothing but please ! I have find that you need to adjust the sound accord to what you be play but from my experience with any kind of speaker be that be normal . it do not reset to baseline volume at least from what I can tell . my sibling and I watch the entire Inuyasha anime on it -lrb- 160 + episode -rrb- and each time we boot it up and pop it in , the sound be set the way I have leave it the night before . -lrb- once again , not a tech junkie ! xd -rrb- I definitely recommend this for both it be great price and great quality ! this little system seriously deliver and I be very happy with the choice I make for my new system ! +702 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 customer service - the Panasonic website claim this be very important to they . I have my home theater only 3-4 month when a VCR tape get stick . I have now be at the service center for almost 4 month ! when I be lucky enough to get a response from Panasonic -lrb- which be rare -rrb- , they make promise of completion and\/or replacement . but promise will not play the dvd 's my family would have like to watch together over the holiday . when we finally get through to the customer service center on the phone , they have the nerve to hand up on we twice . if you want a COMPANY to stand behind THEIR PRODUCTS - stay away from PANASONIC !!! I have truly give up hope of even get my home theater back from the Panasonic service center . +998 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be a great purchase to complete my home entertainment center . I have this hook up to a 37 '' Vizio HDTV , my xbox 360 , Samsung bluray player , and my Comcast HD cable box . installation be very simple , plug and play . the set up take less than 5 minute to calibrate each speaker . I find this for 180 $ with free amazon prime shipping on amazon so I jump on it . one flaw , be I just wish it have more input . not too much of a hassle to change around a few wire before enjoy a few hour or more of entertainment . this system can get pretty loud if you want it to . you can manually increase the db of each speaker if you want . I increase the sub-woofer a few decibel higher than each other speaker because I tend to like more bass with my listening . I have not use it much for dvd playback because I own other item that do this . ipod playback via usb be integrate nicely . well build , feel well make . each speaker be fairly light , which make wall mount more appealing . this be the best system for the most bang for you buck , as a entry level system it be worth take a look at . +632 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 this be a combo dvd\/vcr unit and if it be not for the dvd player that do not work i would give it four star . apparently the dvd player have software issue and magnavox\/phillips be aware of they but continue to sell the product . the manufacturer have a one year exchange warranty but then you have to deal with ship the thing across the country and at you own cost by the way . consider how heavy it be you may be better off buy a different model from a manufacturer who care about quality control and customer satisfaction . but if you want to take you chance i love the a\/v input in the front and the sound be pretty good . +329 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 Dolby , sub woofer and surround make it stand out . dub work great . I reccommend it . +242 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 this be just a small forwarning for anyone thinking of buy this . take note that the unit only have one audio input . now this may be fine if you happen to actually own a tv with a main audio out option -lrb- I for one own 3 television , one of which be only a month old , none of which have this -rrb- . basically what this mean be that if you have several item hook to you tv -lrb- ps2 , Xbox , xbox360 , VCR , Satelite or Cable box etc etc -rrb- you will need to hook and unhook each item as need to have they in surround sound . this be a disapointment as I be try to upgrade from my current Kenwood system which have 5 audio\/video + 1 audio only input\/outputs . the reason for the upgrade be my new hdtv , which bring I to my other disapointment for this system . although it do have component output -lrb- ie red , blue , green -rrb- , it only output at 480i\/480p . if you have a hdtv capable of 720p\/1080i this will likely not be suffient for you . you 'll have to take the other reviewer word on sound quality etc , I never get as far as to actually hook it up after look at the back of the system , read the manual etc. . just feel the need to write this as I only purchase it base on it be good user review : -rrb- +756 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I need to replace my older Sony stuff that have serve I well . the price be right , the sound be right . lot of choice in the set up , spend some time reading , adjust , a bit of swearing but it serve its purpose well . my biggest oversight be the common lack of a analog input for phone , yes there be still lp folk out here . nothing a 20 dollar bill pyle pre-amp from Amazon do not `` fix '' I consider this a mid level as oppose to entry level system and recommend . +156 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I buy a ht700 two year ago and initially I like it , play great . after 2 year it stop play all music cd . both mp3 and original audio cd . couple of month after that , it stop play 50 % of blockbuster dvd . I have a 5 year old $ 75 samsung player , that still play great all kind of stuff . I do not think it be just the problem with this one panasonic system . it be all of Panasonic . it be just a piece of low quality stuff . they be just try to sell to american market this piece of junk . never buy any panasonic anymore unless you want keep buy every two year !! . - a disappointed customer +534 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I recently buy a sharp aquo 37 inch tv for my 10x15 den and want a economical home theater system that would both look and sound good . the ht-930 fit my requirement . the system be very stylish look for the price and its silver appearance perfectly match my tv and hdtv cable box , so when you walk into the room it look like all of these component be part of one package . the sound be crisp and clear , and the subwoofer sound even better than some more expensive component I have listen to . it have four level of adjustment , and on the highest setting you can actually feel the vibration , which make watch a action scene in a movie even more enjoyable . the FM radio be ok , but lack the ability to enter station digitally . instead you have to find station the old fashion way by scroll through , though you can enter up to 15 preset station and access they with the channel control . since I do not plan to use the radio very much , this do not matter to I . I also have not try play music cd since they be all on my ipod , which easily attach to this system and sound great . just go to Radio Shack and buy -lrb- i -rrb- audio rca plug with a headphone adapter on the other end and -lrb- ii -rrb- a stereo cord . plug the audio plug into the AUX opening on the back of the unit , plug one end of the stereo cord into the headphone adapter , and the other end into the headphone jack on the ipod . Voila ! you can listen to all of you music without expensive adaptor . the instruction manual be not always that clear , but Panasonic do have live customer support via telephone that I find helpful in answer my question . the only gripe I have with this system be that it do not have a digital input , which mean that the only thing that you can listen to in surround sound be a dvd , but not a cable show . however , I know this in advance and still buy the system for several reason -lrb- actually I buy two -- a second one for my daughter 's apartment -rrb- . first , it look and sound so much better than comparably price system that do have a digital input . second , to really appreciate the true effect of surround sound you need a large room . although I can hear a difference between a dvd with surround sound and a cable show that be only in stereo , it be really not that much of a difference in my 10x15 den . what be more important to I be that the ht930 produce a very nice sound regardless of the source . also you can individually adjust the volume of each speaker , and there be a setting that simulate surround sound when watch a movie . if you have a large room and want to hear cable show in true high quality surround sound , then you should consider another system . I have listen to such system , but they cost 6 to 7 time as much as the ht930 . however , if you be not interested in spend that kind of money , then this system be for you . for the money I do not think you can do any better . my rating on this would have be five star if there have be a digital input . +965 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 you do not get nearly what you pay for . nothing on this be as good as you would expect . none of the bell and whistle this home theater in a box -lrb- htib -rrb- promise matter when it can not output sound correctly . if you want to just watch tv then you will not notice any big problem , but if you put in a dvd , listen to the radio , put in a cd , etc. then you will be annoy . the speaker give off some kind of rumble that sound almost like thunder . at first I think it might just be the speaker , but I hook up some other speaker , that to this day work fine with any other audio system , and the same problem occur . if you think I might just be a ranting idiot . maybe you can go to Criterion 's website to get more info . good luck find it though . I even try they parent company Tonic , Inc. . good luck get anywhere there either . I then try the old-fashioned telephone approach . not only be no phone number list anywhere in they manual , but I even call Circuit City , think that they might want to take responsibility for sell such a horrible product , but they could not even find the company number in they database . this htib be such a piece that someone would have to pay I use it . +664 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I purchase this system for a Christmas gift for my family . and I have not be disappoint . the system be easy to set-up and configure . the instruction be clear and efficient . with 650 watt I be not sure what to expect , but this system will rattle you window . I have crank this system way up and still have volume to go . the bass be incredible for such a small speaker -lrb- the speaker box be big though -rrb- . the input option on this system allow I to configure my setup the way that I want it with minimal effort . if you want a system that will give big bang for the buck , go with this one ! +335 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 well it at first work great and w awesome to use . but then it start to just freeze and you could not do anything . I have to pay to ship it to Sony and then they take there time to send it back and say there be nothing wrong . now it also be some damage to almost every peice . but they do . take it back and send I a different one and they it will also not work . so I call to talk to a tech to be tell they will call between 24 to 48 hour . so be you lucky enough to be home when they do call back . they only open durning business hour and that end at 2 pm pacific . also no weekend work here . but at this point I be almost 6 month with out it work and have ask for they to just send a tech and see it but they be only one place in Texas . so great tell you have a issue . +432 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 be a former studio engineer , I become so disenchanted listen to the audio through my tv that I finally `` break down '' and decide to purchase a home theater system . after read the review , I decide on the Koss c220 . initially , I be very impressed with the ease of setup , especially with the `` Quick Start '' manual -lrb- how many guy like to read direction anyway ?!?! -rrb- . within about 30 minute I have the system ready to go with the film `` Gettysburg '' in the tray . and I must say that the sound be superb ! however , the picture quality be not that great . so after diagnose the problem with a few friend , it turn out that I need a rf modulator ... use this , I be able to use the s-video out which produce a more crisp picture and separate some of the interference I be see on my tv . one more thing : you 'll need to tweak the volume setting on the speaker . you can do this through a cool menu system you view on the tv . I find that I have to set the volume to around 10db on the surround speaker , 6 on the left\/right , 8 on the center and 6 on the sub . but you will need to configure for you room . all in all , a great starter system at a great price ! Cheers ! +807 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 it seem sad that I would pine over a 2 speaker dvd\/cd system but truth be tell the Panasonic sc-dp1 do it all right in one small little package that only cost I $ 200 buck back in the day . I love that little thing . it have decent sound and it play dvd 's and music and it have a radio . I be so happy with it , but then I have to give it up to my ex , it be either that or I lose my bose 3-2-1 and that be not go to happen . if you can ever find one of these , buy it . it be a steal if its under $ 200 . you will be please . more so because it have Component connection and because you can hook a active subwooder up to this baby and you have a instant pseudo-surround sound home theater system with a easy to use remote and great crisp sound for small room . one day , I will be re-unite with another Panasonic sc-dp1 . I hope one day soon as I be miss it dearly . +713 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I be a real Panasonic fan and usually love they product , but if I have my choice again I would buy something else . I be not angry I buy this , but I be sure there be better out there . I be not a real audiophile , so I do not feel qualify to rate the sound on this system . Suffice to say I have be very happy with that aspect . the feature , however , leave a lot to be desire . First , pretend that this be a single-disc player . you can not change a disc while do anything else . you can not change a disc while play another disc , while listen to the radio , you vcr or auxilliary channel . add to that the fact that change from one disc to another take around ten seconds -lrb- easily twice the time I be use to for change disc -rrb- . it also stop after each disc - you can not set it to play all disc through . second , this be the only cd-player I have see in year that skip regularly . on disc that play fine on all my other cd player , this one skip , stutter and sometimes stop entirely . it seem about as good as the first generation of cd player , back in the late 80 's . I intend to call customer support about this - hopefully this be not normal for this system . Third , the control be confuse and difficult to use . I be a technical person who usually dive into all the setting on everything , but the control for the various surround mode seem ill-thought-out and generally difficult to commit to memory . +264 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I buy one of these last July . although not the best sound , I think be be very good consider the very low price . in November it the audio stop work in the middle of a movie . Circuit City only warranty it for 30 day , after that you must speak -lrb- more accurately try to speak -rrb- to AMW . it be now February , still break . I suppose the lesson be you get what you pay for ... low price = low quality . +742 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 in the past I have be a very loyal Sony customer ; however , this dvd dream system be by far the worst Sony product I have ever purchase . I purchase the system less than two year ago . the dvd player start act up -lrb- not play -rrb- about two month ago despite limited use . I attempt multiple time to clean the unit use a dvd cleaning disk and even take the unit apart to blow out excess dust . the unit will still not play dvd 's ... in the past month , the unit have start not power off unless it be physically unplugged from the wall . I be force to keep the unit power at all time in order to use the home theater speaker . my response from Sony be less than satisfactory . my recommendation be for anyone look to buy a home theater\/dvd combo unit to stay away from Sony product . +350 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I purchase one of these at best buy in March 2003 . it have be act up at power on for several week now , and now will not even get past the welcome screen . I have notice that the power lead do not come on , and the tv splash screen do not come on either . I use to be able to power down and then back on , and that usually work . today it refuse to do so . I will have to agree with the other reviewer in that this unit be garbage . for all of the electronic user interface designer out there , this could be the quintessential example of what not to do . I give KLH a f for user friendliness . this be my first home theater purchase , I now have a good idea of what to look for as far as feature and usability . at least the speaker sound decent and be still in good shape . now on to the exploratory surgery . have soldering iron , will travel . +456 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I purchase this home theater system base on good review on CNET , and the fact that it would be pair with a Sony lcd tv -lrb- which be also faulty-another story -rrb- . BIG MISTAKE ! the sound be not a big improvement over the tv speaker , would not read any dvd -lrb- keep say no disc -rrb- , no radio reception , hard to control with cable remote , and when I would get disgusted enough to get rid of it , could not even use the darn speaker elsewhere because of proprietary connector . the Sony `` customer service '' person , in goodness know what country , be of no help , and want my credit card number to initiate a repair order , since the product be a couple of month out of warranty . no way be I give they another cent of my money or another minute of my time . somebody kick in the rear if I ever look at another Sony product . +924 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 very please with this product . very easy to setup , and the integrate subwoofer\/tuner save a ton of space . all component can fit within exist tv stand , minimize clutter . sound be great . will not compete with a true-surround setup , but the point with this product here be to get as close to that without run wire or spending over $ 500 . would recommend to anyone look for a simple , affordable and quality set up for a single room set up . the optional ipod cable be a complete waste of money , can not believe they expect someone to shell out $ 60 for it ... I opt for a $ 2 aux out cable instead , and it sound great . +792 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I have be real happy with the sound quality and the value of this system . I take off 1 star only because of the limited connectivity , as mention in other review . I buy this system because of the strong review here and elsewhere , but also because of the 4 tower speaker which I see as a strongpoint . I do not want to mount speaker on the wall , and the tower speaker be not so big that they get in the way , while still be substantial enough that they will not fall over if they be bump . if you be look to mount the speaker on the wall , this may not be the best system because I be not sure the oval speaker head will look good mount on a flat surface . +931 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 this system have solid sound at lower level and can easily accomodate less demand audio need . if you be look for a small but complete package , this will serve nicely . do not expect this to handle higher volume level without distortion , though . +468 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 Este teatro en casa proporciona muy buenas caracteristicas de sonido . Muy buen bajo . La configuracion e muy simple . El recibidor e un poco grande para mi gusto . Las entrada hdmus reproduccion el sonido con una calidad muy al incluso el sonido 3d . Para mi gusto e una de las mejores compras . . +971 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I purchase this unit and have be very surprise at the sound quality it provide . if you set this unit up for the room it perform like a much more expensive unit . the bass be good , rear support be good , and the volume of the center front channel be also adjustable . +495 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 the sound be never that good . but I do not have to worry about that since 6 month later it die . Kaput . error f65 . I replace it with a Phillips purchase on sale at BestBuy . the quality & sound be so much better ! Shop around on this one , it be not worth it . +463 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this system be incredibly powerful , I buy this for my small bedroom entertainment system . I put in Pearl Harbor and the action sceen be way better than be in any theater . sure there be probably better system out there but this system be powerful and it be at a great price . there be absolutely no distortion or ststic in the radio or dvd . I would highly recomend this system for someone that be look for a powerful system at a great price !!! +621 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I have buy and return three of these unit now . each one have be defective , and finally I just give up on return the system . the dvd player constantly give `` bad Disc '' error and skip if there be even the slightest smudge on a disc . the sound quality be very nice for the price , but since the player do not work , it be essentially useless . this be a complete rip-off at any price point . +110 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I buy this for my girlfriend for Christmas . the initial setup be easy , the sound quality be acceptable for watch movie in surround sound and the fm\/cd sound be good . additionally , it upscale dvd 's with the use of a hdmus cable . however , that be where the positive end . after watch a movie , the entire system would just shut down unexpectedly . I think maybe it be a fluke , so I unplug the system , plug it back in and resume the movie . then it happen again . and again . we could not watch a movie straight through without the system just shut off . this be over a period of a couple of week so it be not just a isolate event . after have to reset the system , the user be force to reset all of the feature , include fine tuning the volume for each speaker . this be a horrible pain in the you-know-what . like two other reviewer say , the audio would just cut out completely during quiet passesge . it be as if the decoder determine that the low frequency sound be just noise and block they all together . fortunately Amazon have a hassle free return policy and I be able to get a full refund . I then buy my girlfriend a Sony which work great ! +154 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this sl q-line gold 650w 5.1 Surround Sound Home Theater System be by far the best sound system out there for the money . sure you can pay alot more and maybe get a little better sound but why . it have a reciver pack with every function you can ask for , and the speaker be outstanding . the whole package cost I $ 395.00 , I buy mine on black Friday and get one hell of a deal . I buy it thru av-express and they customer support team be second to none . all in all this be one of the best buying experince I have ever have . I have mine link to my 42 '' LG plasma , direct tv and PS3 . now it be just sit back relax , and enjoy . +93 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I buy this system several week ago and could not be more happy with the way that it perform . every snap , crackle , and pop of a film come to life and envelope you . I watch the Matrix after hook this up and could not keep the grin off my face . the receiver unit be fantastic and offer a decent array of selection for surround sound option . anybody for beer and a movie at my place ? my two complaint be relatively minor : 1 -rrb- the bass box do not roll out bass that you can feel . the low be not quite as deep as they could be . I think my roommate be quite happy with that , though ... 2 -rrb- the remote lack the control of some of the feature on the head unit . it also be not programmable for all of the other device that I own . I get it to turn my tv off and on but that be about it . keep in mind that set up a home theater can be extremely time consuming . run the wire under you carpet and attching satellite speaker to you wall can be daunt . while the kit do come with some cable , it definitely be not enough to wire a larger room . you be also go to have to purchase Audio\/Video cable to match whatever you be set up -lrb- I need two set of a\/v cable for my non-dolby Digital setup - you may need more -rrb- . for the money , this be a all-around fantastic bargain that I would recommend to anybody without a huge bankroll . +357 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I do very much appreciate the people who take the time to explain the upgrade to the firmware . but the truth be that this device will not function in HDMI mode so what be the use of it . as a end-user , I be no slouch with non-intuitive device but this be a waste day and a half . the byzantine upgrade process require you to buy the digital optical cable . go to the website and download the manual . really . then download the firmware . the firmware would not update - I burn a cd of it on three device to be sure . Yamaha should be embarrass that they could not offer to send a cd . because without the update , you have to choose video or audio from HDMI . really ! what a choice . nice look bar - small but the woofer be large and heavy to make up for it . some thing be amiss here - I be still baffle by the good review . if I have buy this from anywhere else , I would have a hardtime explain the return . +50 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I be on a search for a surround sound system after have purchase a new 55 '' lead . well after read all the positive feedback on this system , I decide to buy ! thank you guy for lead I the right way . it be very simple to unpack and install the speaker . the back wireless speaker work perfect , they really do give you the surround sound feeling . I use to have another system with wireless back speaker but they do not sound as good as this one . also , my previous system would cut the sound often , specially with the microwave on , fortunately with this one that be not a problem . I watch two action movie last night , I be # 4 and battle of Los Angeles . both movie sound awesome , the sub-woofer really give the movie that BOOM experience . it really sound great . I be really happy and satisfied with this product . I would definitely recommend to anyone look for a affordable , stylish look system . +929 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 enjoy you movie and music with this system ... when I be go to buy my home theater system , I listen to at least another 5 system of other brand and other configuration when I hear the Bose Lifestyle 12 , I be impressed . you definetely get what you pay for ; go for it and do not waste you time look at other brand . +547 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I buy this system about a month ago , and so far its prove to be great ! it hook up perfectly to my playstation 2 , digital cable box , and even computer -lrb- for mp3 -rrb- . one of the only downside be there be only 2 audio in 's , a optical digital in , and a coaxital in , but I have manage to fit everything , without constantly wire swaping . I suggest this system to anyone in search of a hometheater system . +448 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 amazing clarity of sound for a incredibly low price . Great for smaller room . unpowered subwoofer but good rich bass overall . progressive scan dvd player be great . I pay $ 199 for it with free shipping ; delivery be prompt . no regret . +1 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 we set this unit up in my son room for use . the surround work well , and I be please with that . two thing we have have issue with . 1 -rrb- the unit never really turn off . its either in stand-by mode or on . normally its not a issue until you look at the next issue . 2 -rrb- the unit have a slight humm while its in stand-by mode . not a problem in a family room , but it be in a bedroom at night . have to put the unit on a power switch so it can be physically turn off . +35 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I receive my `` Vizio VHT510 5.1 surround Sound Home Theater with Wireless Subwoofer -lrb- Black -rrb- '' Electronics ; $ 298.00 yesterday and I be highly impressed . I hook it up to my new 55 '' Toshiba - Toshiba 55WX800U 55-inch 1080p 240 Hz Cinema Series 3D lead tv , Black that I buy here at Amazon and it blow I away ... . . for a very low dollar purchase I get a extreme sound surround sound system . this be so easy to hook up and I have have the big high power and very bulky with wire everywhere surround system and they can not even hold a candle to this Visio sound bar multus speaker sound system . I like the 2.4 GHz wireless sub woofer that the satellite speaker plug into ... I purchase the `` Atlantic Satellite 77305018 2 Speaker stand -lrb- black -rrb- '' Electronics ; $ 28.99 and set those on top of my glass end table -lrb- rubber cushion on the three foot the speaker stand sit on -rrb- and elevate they 44 '' above the end table top they sit on . I also put my sound bar on a 3 ' be shelf above the Toshiba lead hdtv and the sound be phenomenal . BTW , you might consider buy a digital audio cable\/toslink\/fiber optic\/spdif -lrb- all those name be the same thing -rrb- and hook it up that way from you hdtv because digital optic connection be the clearest and crispest . if you want it to ride free with you Amazon order they be `` AmazonBasics Toslink Digital Audio Optical Cable -lrb- 6 feet\/1 .8 meter -rrb- '' Electronics ; $ 6.29 and you only need one . you can find they cheaper at ebay and place like that but Amazon have they name on this one prove you buy it from they ... . . BTW DO not forget to take off the miniature clear plastic cap off both end before you try to install it , the cap be for protection until the be put into use and you might have a bit of a hassle get the rubber cap out of the hole if you forget . all in all this be a very good home entertainment package with the Toshiba and Vizio ... I be enjoy it and I be into this system under two grand . +424 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 absolutely a unique experience . this Yamaha Soundbar exceed my expectation with tremendous sound quality . hook it up to a Blu-Ray player with great soundtrack like the Eagles and be prepare to be impressed . I do have to set-up the Sony Blu-Ray player by connect it directly to my Samsung lcd and then once that be do it work great through the hdmus on the amp\/receiver\/subwoofer . very compact system with big sound and plenty of adjustment . you will not be disappoint . +100 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 Sony know that this home Theatre System have a problem . I post earlier that this system work only for a short period of time and then do not eject disc , do not turn off and flash ` standby ' for ever . this be my second unit , which I get replace within 90 day after purchase , with the same problem . several other have mention they experience the same problem with this system . practically this system become useless once this happen . I take it to a service center of Sears where I buy the system . the technician say Sony have alert they with a ` Service Flash ' with a clear instruction of what part to change when this unit come in for repair . he say the voltage inside the dvd player be not properly regulate and unable to handle the disc and hang up in the middle something like a computer crash . he replace a resistor for my unit . the technician say he have be do that for many of this particular model that keep come in , and that he have not see the repair one back again so far . my system seem to be work well now . it be a obvious problem that Sony know very well . however , we have to pay for the repair . fortunately , I buy service protection for three year by pay $ 60 more when I buy this unit . otherwise , it cost about $ 150 - $ 200 to get the system back to work . I really wonder why should we customer pay for a obvious manufacturing defect . if Sony want to maintain they reputation and integrity , they should recall this unit and replace the part free . +450 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 this unit have pretty good sound when play dvd use the build in dvd player . I even test the crossover point -lrb- ? -rrb- from the speaker to the subwoofer and I could not distinguish where the crossover point be which mean everything seem well balanced . the moment I switch to any other mode though other than the build in dvd player -lrb- radio , video1 and video2 -rrb- , I get a lot of hiss from the center and rear channel and the only way to mask out the hiss be to crank the volume way up so that the sound from the front speaker be louder than the hiss . I think I have a defective unit so I return it and get a new one and I still get the same problem . another annoying thing about this system be that the unit itself click -lrb- not though the speaker -rrb- everytime it change track either from a dvd or audio cd . I can live with the click , but the hiss be just too much . I be go to return my unit and get a different and quality brand , probably a kenwood or something . I would not recommend this to anyone until classic find a way to get rid of the hiss , otherwise , this would have be a perfect unit for as I be not a audiophile . +571 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 buy this 3 month ago . main unit burn out . base cube have lot of `` connection problem '' . however , when it be work it sound great . it be very stubborn to play certain dvd 's . -lrb- take a long time to load many dvd 's and cd have . i be return it tomorrow . +168 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 it perform well when I play video game use PS3 but fall short of my expectation when I play Blu Ray movie or regular cd . in those instance I do not feel the `` surround '' sound much , and certainly not from the cd . when I call Bose customer service , it be explain to I that regular cd do not produce surround sound and most movie -lrb- even Blu Ray -rrb- do not also fully utilize the surround feature . honestly I be not sure if I buy into that . I buy it because I be not a audio expert but my sense of hearing can tell what be good sound and what be not . in addition , when I hook up the ps2 through this unit use red\/white\/yellow cable , the output screen size be funky with my hdtv . so I end up bypass this with my ps2 . then there be not analog cable input for I to hook up my direct tv in to this unit so it be also a waste on that . for such limited use , I do question the value of spend $ 1800 on this . by the way , when I research different home theater system , I be shock to find many 4\/5 star review on unit that be $ 200-500 range . when I go to the retail store to test hear they , they be nothing but just louder noise . so from that perspective , bose 's unit 's sound quality be definitely crisp and very clear , but just do not give the full `` surround '' feel that I would expect as in a movie theater unless I turn the volume to be very loud . +717 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I just get this system and the sound quality really be great , especially for the price . its one of the few system in this price range to have digital optical input , which be necessary if you be connect certain component for dolby digital suround like a x-box . although there be a setting call `` Prologic '' , I be not sure that it actually have a prologic decoder since the manual only say that it give out prologic sound if hook up to a prologic receiver . I be only give it four rather than five star because I have notice that sometimes it will read no disc when there be a disc there so it have to be eject and restart . otherwise , its really a nice system . Update - 11\/29\/04 - my system die like many other reviewer . ca not recommend for that reason . +875 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 after a lot of research I choose this sound bar and be very glad I do . the sound be superb for we `` bedroom theater '' and it make a huge difference to we view experience . it be not in the same league as we living room 's sound system of course -lrb- nearly $ 2k -rrb- , but we do not expect that . one thing that be very important to we be the clarity of speak voice -lrb- i.e. center channel -rrb- . we boomer-generation ear be not what they use to be . this unit have the clearest voice channel we have ever hear on any system . this be a huge plus to we , and it enable we to keep the volume at comfortable level while still hear the voice clearly . the system have plenty of volume -- way more than we would ever need in we bedroom . the subwoofer be more than adequate , especially for a bedroom . most other sound bar system require you to put the receiver\/subwoofer on the floor , which can make it difficult to see the display and operate with a remote . I like have it where I can see it -lrb- the display be dimmable , by the way -rrb- . as other reviewer have note , it do not emulate true surround sound , but it be a nice compromise in my opinion . the look of the system be fantastic . the bar be very sleek , and the subwoofer\/receiver look very cool in we furniture . -lrb- we have a dresser that have two audio compartment along the top shelf , and a 50-inch plasma -rrb- . before buy it , I have to convince my wife that it would make a real difference to we view experience , and she kind of roll she eye . finally she agree to let I buy it as a early birthday present for myself . well , guess what ! she like it even more than I do . she feel that it totally change we bedroom , not only for tv viewing but also music -lrb- cable digital music channel -rrb- . the great music sound actually lead to we watch somewhat less tv and listen to more music . not a bad thing ! if you be look for a high-end system for you living room , this one will not blow you away , and you probably should not be consider a sound bar anyway . but for a bedroom or secondary tv watch area or a modest living room set up , it be a great way to go . +396 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 a lot of punch in a small package . great sound , pretty easy setup , although I do not like the speaker connection too much . +550 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I purchase this system before Christmas 2005 . attention audiophile . ignore this system . I use to be a audiophile when I could hear well . I be a retired electronics engineer , and I know this stuff . I 'll take it a section at a time and then treat the entire system . speaker : they be adequate for a small room at moderate sound level . you will not feel the room shake with super bass . the subwoofer be adequate for the seven speaker setup . remember folk , you pay less than 600 buck for this . it deliver a pretty good bang for the buck . bose -lrb- or similar -rrb- speaker would improve the system a lot . they be very efficient and well engineer . they be not cheap ! Amplifer : it be rate at about 160 watt at 10 % total harmonic distortion -lrb- thd -rrb- . that be very high for today 's solid state amplifier . it do not matter though because the speaker distortion at that power level would be much higher . remember folk , that power be split up between six speaker . the sub woofer have its own amplifier . Preamp : well , those thing be sort of like 8-track tape today , history . everything be digitally process now . Play with the various autio setting . Play with the menu . you will not find a treble or bass knob . everything -lrb- almost -rrb- be menu drive . input : these include video and audio input . you can name the input so they appear on the digital box display when you select one -lrb- front panel or with the remote control -rrb- , or you can leave they at they default setting . output : many of they , but not enough for I . I would like to see more `` line '' output from each major subsystem . note : this system be `` cheap '' because Sony sell a lot of they . if you want high end gear , buy it . Sony sell it too . it be costly not because of the electronics inside . that be a do deal now and relatively cheap . the high end stuff be pricy because of advanced engineering and limited production . Sony have to pay its bill just like the rest of we . that mean that they must make a profit too ! the manual : a abomination ! I write to Sony -lrb- not a hate letter -rrb- . they tell I they be take my suggestion under advisement . gee that make I feel warm and fuzzy all over ! write a instruction manual for complex consumer electronics be a difficult task . Sony must assume some thing first . focus group at Sony target a audience for the product . in the case of this system , they audience -lrb- customer base -rrb- be the average person who only want plug and play . make it easy for I ! cranky engineer like I should not buy this gear . in my love letter to Sony I beg they to give I a datum port on the digital box . give I some free software for my laptop . get rid of the manual ! Use computer documentation like we see now for every gizmo or piece of software we put into we computer . practically everybody can use a pc these day . give I a Windows program with a graphical representation of the two box and the speaker if necessary . in that graphic allow I to specify some kind of periperal gizmo that I want to hook to the digital box . if it be Sony gizmo of recent vintage , that should make it easier . as I define my gizmo and attempt to hook they up , warn I if I have do something wrong . offer suggestion . that be so easy folk ! it be call `` intelligent '' software . consider the number of Sony Home Theater system sell , the software development cost be nothing . okay , add ten buck to the price and really advertise it ! I 'll buy it ! the integrate dvd gizmo : as far as I have determine this box will play every cd\/dvd that have ever be create and many that be still on the draw board . well , I be old ! I use to use draw board before my boss put a computer on my desk ! my life have not be the same since . oh , the good old day . remote contol : a major pain in the butt . Sony have attemp to help the consumer with `` control consol '' to relieve the remote control congestion . I must have 25 of they . it seem now that most all remote attempt to control everything . well , what about my ceiling fan ? just kidding . I be try to `` engineer '' a audio\/video system that my wife can use and enjoy . she can really drive that Wega 32 inch tv . it be two year old now and technically fit for only be a boat anchor . I wonder if it float . to sum up , I think this system be okay for ordinary people . I be not ordinary . I be very weird . J Hinkson El Sobrante , CA +893 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I be look for home theater system for family room . I want small footprint due to lack of space . this soundbar from Yamaha be perfect fit in my small space . I be very happy with sound quality of this product . however , do not expect the surround sound effect that you can experience from dedicate surround speaker . I be little skeptical about receiver\/sub woofer combo . but sub woofer sound great . Easy to setup . I hook up DVR , dvd and Apple TV to receiver . now I can experience great sound from all source . I would definitely recommend this product . I also buy harmony 300 remote to control all device with one remote . +927 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 recent Update : after buy a hdtv , I go in search of a new system -lrb- settling on a onkyo -rrb- to replace this one . the main reason be the kenwood have only 2 digital input , no component switching , and a weak passive sub . I recently purchase this system at a best buy during a promotion , so I get the system + monster cabling for 500 . I compare the system to the Sony and to the various other system in the store , and by far I find this to have the nicest , cleanest , deepest sound . I be consider one levle down , the 505 . that system do not have a dvd player , be a 100 buck cheaper , have a notch down in the receiver but do have a power sub . in compare the sound quality , I think that the 705 be at least 1.5 - -rrb- 2.0 x better . with the addition of the dvd changer , it be a no brainer . in term of sound quality , the only system -lrb- in best buy -rrb- that I find to have higher quality be on the 1000.00 ballpark . operation of the system be excellent . sound and picture quality be noticeably improve . the Prologic II be excellent , make dvd completely immersive . overall , I have no complaint about the quality of the system . I think this be a super deal particularly if you can get ahold of any dealings to get the monster cable with it -lrb- 10 - -rrb- 50 % improvement with those cable at least , I think -rrb- the dvd\/mp3\/cd changer be very nice . setup on the system be easy with cable + vcr + dvd that come with it + xbox . the xbox have a surround kit that I have not yet research , but if it work will buy . now the bad stuff : 1 -rrb- mp3 name do not scroll . for 500 buck , I think this should have a feature my 80 dollar cd\/mp3 have . 2 -rrb- complex remote . I think this be almost every system on this level , but have use a few I think this one be particularly complicate . you basically need to read through the book to do almost anything but the simplest control properly . 3 -rrb- monster Cable Orientation . when I setup my system with the monster theater pack , I notice on day 2 terrible sound . the intuitive slant downward orientation of the cable be wrong , and they have all slip out . I have to flip they all 180 degree . after this no problem , but this be annoying . +553 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 it be relatively easy to setup . it sound great ! now I know what I have be miss with surround sound - even from -lrb- hi-def -rrb- Cable . it be great to just have the one hdmus out , and the hi-def cable look great come through the hdmi-input 1 through the blu-ray system to the tv . the wi-fi internet setup easily with my sbc\/at & t dsl router . so far , I have try out Youtube , and it stream pretty well , but I really have not try any larger video site . I be still try to set my new sony remote to control the cable box . just wish I could have get the cheaper price now offer 10 day later - feel a little burn by that . but otherwise , this system have it all - great sound , video , streaming , lot of fun ! +973 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I buy the rca rdt325w home Theater System and it do not even last a year !! I also buy the replacement plan , but since it do not last a year , I still have to go through rca for warranty . they want I to pay 25 $ or more for ship the defective product to they ! I already pay over a 100 $ on this product , of which be still under the first year 's warranty ! I be darn sure not go to pay more when it do not even last the year -lrb- much less the obviously useless amount I pay on the replacement plan -rrb- . do not buy this product , it be not worth the money and rca 's repair policy on a product they do not take the time to make properly , be to make you pay for postage for they to fix it . bad form rca !!! bad form ! no more rca product for I ! : -lrb- +138 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I actually win this system via a radio contest , and I have have it for 2 year now . there have be some small annoyance , but otherwise , it have be a good system . it look sharp , be easy to setup and use , and there be plenty of length to the speaker wire to setup surround sound in nearly any size room . the dvd changer be slow , but the sound and picture quality be great . I would recommend this system if you only have a basic setup of home theater , as multiple inputs\/outputs can be a bit of a hassle . +409 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 Works ok with some dvd . the only reason I buy be for the radio include in but it be not worth the trouble . in 12 month it have spend atleast 2 month get fix . the dvd doesnt open and they dont know what the fix for it . Said they add some lubricant to open but it fail again . then they change the laser head dont know why but even that doesnt seem to help +471 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be a amazing setup for home theater system . this system have the full packadge , power , calrity sound and pic , style and the price . I be highly impress with this product and the feature be be very exstinsive you have alot of option . im be a very picky buyer and want the most for my buck , so check it out . in one word DIVINE +689 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 hello there , I just buy the product , get it 24 hr ago and already love it , this be my first home theater system , and I watch `` the secretariat '' on Netflix , and the horse race be awesome . I can get some surround sound , I be not a sound perfectionist but for 250 $ , that more than money spend . I get a nice deal . I recommend with 5 star everybody thanks pradeepbill +982 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I happy to have it ! it be work and look like new . very good item especially for such price . +896 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I buy this ht 10 day ago . I be imppress by the sound . incredible sub-woofer . a lot of control over the audio , BUT ... - I cound ' t play my mp3 . strange sound and `` jump '' . I try different Panasonic in the store , and it be always the same . it be a problem with the model . do not buy it if you want to play mp3 's with you home Theater . - horrible interfase -lrb- guus -rrb- . Tiny icon on the screen . - when you try to change from one disk to another it take a l -lrb- o -rrb- t of time . finally , I change the Panasonic for a Sony DAV c-770 . it be so ... cool ! +63 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I be a previous owner of the Vizio vht210w and be some what satisfy with it be performance . the sound quality be not nothing to ramp about but it be a much improvement from just have tv speaker . I recently purchase the vizio vht510 and I have to say I be very impressed . sound quality be amazing for the price I pay . 5.1 ch be clearly a much improvement compare to the 2.1 ch on the vht210w . besides the 5.1 ch the soundbar itself sound much more crisp from the previous model . the subwoofer give a much cleaner deep base compare to the previous model which sound a bit muffle . the remote be alot more responsive . overall , I be very satisfield with this sound system . the only complaint I have be the wire speaker . it would rather have the speaker wireless rather than the subwoofer wireless . BTW , many of the poor review for this system be mainly about durability and functionality issue . since this system be new , the first batch probably have some glitch . I have my system a little over 2 week and still work flawlessly -lrb- knock on wood -rrb- . if you be look for a affordable system , definitely consider this one . I would definitely buy this system again unless a newer model come out . +510 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 get 5 star for ease of hook it up . on screen menu be easy . we have it hook up hdmus . from a very basic review , its sound ok . i have the sony htct 500 sound bar on another tv . the sony sound better to I . this one have a tinny sound . ive adjust it many different way . im not upset with the buy at all . but its just ok . decent . sony be better sound to I . +615 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I have not fully test out the home theater system yet but , from what I do play with the sound and option be pretty cool . if I have more time later I will update this with more comment . +996 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I purchase this system three week ago along with a 60 inch plasma television . I be not sure what the other viewer be look for with this system , but I be absolutely enjoy it and my family and friend love this system also . +531 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 customer service - the Panasonic website claim this be very important to they . I have my home theater only 3-4 month when a VCR tape get stick . I have now be at the service center for almost 4 month ! when I be lucky enough to get a response from Panasonic -lrb- which be rare -rrb- , they make promise of completion and\/or replacement . but promise will not play the dvd 's my family would have like to watch together over the holiday . when we finally get through to the customer service center on the phone , they have the nerve to hand up on we twice . if you want a COMPANY to stand behind THEIR PRODUCTS - stay away from PANASONIC !!! I have truly give up hope of even get my home theater back from the Panasonic service center . +277 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this be overall a very nice compact audio system . it be stylish with metal finish on the front and the speaker have better finish than Panasonic 's sc-19 -lrb- ? -rrb- 5 cd changer at WalMart . it also play dvd disc and the speaker be magnetic-shielded , which be another advantage when you connect it with a laptop to play mp3 's . the price of $ 150 -lrb- I do not know why it go up like $ 200 after I purchase it -rrb- be pretty nice consider all these feature . however , there be some minor thing you need to consider before buy this unit . I usually listen to jazz and classic and the bass be rather strong . the overall sound be not very clear like other hi-fi unit , but you may not expect it from a $ 150 unit ... also , you can not random-play mp3 file . however , this problem be the same for other Panasonic compact system . this be rather silly . I hope Panasonic can improve it for they next model . although this unit can read dvd-r disc , it do not support mp3 playback on a dvd-r disc . overall , this be a fine unit . I wish it could play clear sound as well as my cheap $ 50 sennheiser px100 headphone , but it be also true that I can not get a stereo unit like this with dvd support for $ 150 . I be think about JVC and Phillips unit as well , but they be fall behind in overall feature . +536 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 how many thing can I say be wrong with the system I buy . it die conveniently after the warranty expire . I have to wrestle with it to get my dvd back . when it do display picture , it would frequently pause in the middle of the movie . I would recommend spend the extra money on a better quality system . save yourself money and frustration in the long run . do not learn like I do . +752 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be a amazing system for the price it be sell . I buy one for my small tv lounge and get surprise to its deep bass and its powerful satellite box . it be fully feature satisfy to all you need for a simple ht . there be 2 optical input , one for the dvd and the other one for either a CD changer or a MD. . simply AMAZING . +246 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I decide to take a chance with the Samsung and save a lot of money . I also doubt I 'll be in my small condo for more than a few year so why spend $ 900 on something I 'll probably want to replace in a few year anyway . positive : the sound be great with plenty of thump from the sub , satellite look good , dvd look amazing on my Sony hdtv and the 5-disc changer come in handy with a NetFlix account . I replace a nice Sony system with this and the sound be just as good . I have a 12x12 living room with hardwood and I have have to turn it up higher than my old str component but I have never need more than 75 % . negative : the unit do overheat after about 2 hour of watch the first movie so I just cut a larger hole in the cardboard in the back of my tv stand and have not have a problem since . the blue light around the volume be annoy if you want to watch a movie with all the light off but the remote have a dimmer button where you can turn down the intensity of the light or off completely . my only complaint about this be that it always turn on with the light on full intensity no matter what state it be in when you turn off the receiver . my biggest complaint be the connector you must use to connect the speaker to the receiver . I already have monster Cable run so I just strip and crimped the wire just before the connector but I would have much rather just run my wire directly into the receiver . overall I would highly recommend this to anyone look to get a great product at a great price for a small to medium size room . the cost savings be well worth the few complaint I have above and I be not even sure I 'll try to replace it if I move into a larger place . a true audiophile may be able to point out negative in the sound quality but I have not hear anything that I do not like . +688 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 of course , like most consumer , I be look for the best possible sound system for the best possible price . as a hobbyist music composer , sound quality have always be of significant importance to I . so , when some friend stay with we and I hook up my monitor headphone to we tv to play some early morning FIFA 12 , I realize how incredibly lack the factory speaker be . off I be to the internet to see what be available and there I find the rca rt151 home Theatre Sound System . pro : - really great value . - decent , clear sound - 80 watt be perfect for we modest living room -lrb- 175sq ft -rrb- inside a Brooklyn 6 family brownstone . - more than enough speaker cable for placement around the room -lrb- can not say how many time in the past I have have to purchase\/splice more wire -rrb- . - audio input on front -lrb- 1\/8 '' AUX -rrb- - awesome for quickly plug in a ipod\/smart phone\/tablet and jam some tune . - remote - you can control the volume of each dimensional channel -lrb- front , rear and subwoofer -rrb- but you can not power up\/down the unit . : -lrb- - Easy installation - each satellite speaker have color coordinate wires\/terminals . - basic rear audio input - -lrb- rca cable -rrb- two source : dvd \/ AUX . - slick , basic aesthetic - personally , the look of this unit do have a lot to do with my sway of this purchase . the surround speaker be simple look and not gawdy like most other similar model on the market . Main unit w \/ subwoofer be simple in design too . it do not look out of place with we other video\/audio component under the tv . con : - if you be look for huge bass , this be not the system . the subwoofer be only a 4 '' cone , so it be not go to shake painting off you wall -lrb- which could be a good thing if you , like I , live in a apartment building ! -rrb- . - no mount on rear of satellite speaker . - can not power on\/off the main unit with remote . - do not work with universal remote . - do not have optical or digital audio in which , IMO , should be more prevelant on device in the current market . rca input signal be suitable , but certainly not what you can get from a digital or optical signal -lrb- obviously if you be a audiophile with supreme quality as you goal , you would be research completely different system -rrb- . something worth mention too be that the first unit I receive be defective . the subwoofer cone wheeze and rattle and be clearly blow . in addition , neither of the front speaker output produce a signal to the speaker . I be guess I receive a poor example of a refurb or the like , but it be frustrate nonetheless . of course , with Amazon 's customer service , I wait a mere two day for the replacement . and now , after about two week of own this system , I be still very satisfied . keep in mind I be not crank tune through this system like I do with my studio monitor . but for watch tv , movie and play video game , this sound system be level above the factory speaker on a hdtv . this system be a great value and a perfect solution for add sound quality to you television . +506 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 the panasonic speaker will definitely bring the movie theater effect into you living room . its fun to watch tv with surround sound , immerse yourself in a dvd that actually fill the entire screen of you widescreen hdtv and to play the xbox with surround sound be simply too delicious to describe . after spend a lot of time research home theater , I finally zero in on the Panasonic model . this be my first home theater and I think the panasonic be a excellent model to help I get my foot wet . at this price -lrb- $ 249 -rrb- , it be a amazing buy ! as far as connectivity be concern , the Panasonic be a bit limited . however , a $ 20 4 way stereo a\/v selector from RadioShack will solve all you problem . at the push of a button , it will help you switch between all auxillary input such as you tv\/cable and you xbox . the dvd be the main input and it connect to you tv through the amazing hdmus -lrb- cable not include -rrb- . additional reason why I buy the Panasonic model - ipod connectivity . I need to get a cable to hook this up but it be definitely a big plus . Wireless speaker . again , I do not get the kit . however , its not fun for I to hook up speaker use wire , and I really do not like look at wire . if you be look for a fantastic music system , then this be not the music system for you , but you already know that . and if you do not know that , this system absolutely rock ! +398 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 this piece of junk fail within the first week . I send it to a Panasonic Repair Center and after 3 week they could not repair it and now I have to send it to the East Coast . I spend $ 300 for a product that not even the PANASONIC repair center can repair !!! they warranty be worth absolutely nothing !!! stay away from PANASONIC ! THIS PRODUCT be ABSOLUTE JUNK . it be SO BAD that PANASONIC REPAIR CENTERS CAN NOT REPAIR IT !!!! +161 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I purchase this system in Aug 2004 and I be very pleased with its performance . Recording be very easy and I especially like the time-slip feature this allow you to watch a show from the beginning and continue to record the program . so long vh tape forever ! the system deliver a terrific picture and the sound make every show , movie , and sport event a new experience . I also enjoy the am-fm radio that be build into the unit . I be sure that the high-end system blow this unit away but for the money and the size this be a great buy ! +947 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be my first review ever on Amazon and want to state how pleased I be with my Vizio Surround Sound system . it sound great and I barely have to turn up the sound 1\/4 of the way before produce clear sound . I have a open sit area where the family spend most of the time and it sound very well . I have not have any problem with my light go out on the sound bar as other have state . I have have it a little over 1 month and be very pleased thus far . if I start have lead issue , I 'll come back and update my review . +413 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 we upgrade to the Vizio from a Polk Audio Instant Home Theater . not a knock on the Polk -- it simulate surround sound from two-channel stereo , with no rear speaker -- it be not a apples-to-apples comparison . the Polk improve on we tv 's built-in speaker -lrb- by a lot -rrb- , but we still have a hard time hear dialog . we would pump the volume to hear dialog only to be blow away minute later when music or sound effect kick in . we like the soundbar platform , the wireless subwoofer , and the clean styling . we main goal for a replacement soundbar be a isolate center channel that could be control separately . nice-to-have be 5.1 with rear speaker . and it still need to do all that wirelessly , like the Polk do . the Vizio deliver that at a great price . we can -lrb- and do -rrb- turn up the center channel so we can hear people talk , then dial in the bass\/subwoofer channel so as not to wake the kid . grant , the satellite speaker be wire to the subwoofer , but the subwoofer be wireless to the front of the room . that be reasonable -lrb- wireless satellite would need power anyway -rrb- . the Vizio component be glossy black with chrome trim -- a touch flashy for my taste . and the led on the unit be a little too futuristic for I -lrb- more on led in a second -rrb- . and anyone with kid know that anything glossy do not stay that way . a common complaint with this unit be that the led fail . there be arrow-shaped led under the cloth grill that indicate volume and other status information . they only appear when you be change volume , then go away . Mine fail , as have many other reviewer ' . so what ? they be goofy-looking and , although the feedback be nice , I do not miss they one bit . it do not exactly instill confidence , but still ... so what ? it work . pro : distinct , controllable , dialog channel Wireless connection to rear of room good -lrb- for a soundbar -rrb- surround separation left-to-right and front-to-back excellent value con : gaudy styling -lrb- compare to Polk -rrb- led fail +457 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I buy the Visio 55 '' tv so instead of torture myself into overthink what be the best complimentary sound system I buy this one . it set up in a snap and I love it because it be wireless -lrb- kind of -rrb- . no wire be need to connect the subwoofer and sound bar . there be wire from the satellite to the subwoofer and from the Sound Bar to the tv but no big deal . the sound be great . I can hear dialogue without have to get subtitle . it be simple and efficient for someone who want good sound but do not want to spend more than 1\/2 the price of the tv on speaker . +963 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I have own this dream system for 3 year , and have have continuous trouble with it . first malfunction be when the unit 's disc eject mechanism break . second malfunction be when the unit start to experience startup trouble and would repeatedly cycle through its power-on\/power-off sequence . the latest malfunction involve a annoying high-pitched whine emit from the speaker when the unit be play in Video 1 or Video 2 mode . unlike other owner who experience this problem , I be not willing to open the casing and poke around at the unit 's innards . I be just feed up with this system and would discourage any prospective buyer from consider this unit or any future model brand Sony dream system . +80 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I get this @ best buy when it first come out . I be look @ a sony but they do not have speaker wire with it -lrb- open box item -rrb- and I ask the guy @ Circuit City if he could call Sony and find out how I could get they and how much it would cost I . it be 55min later and the guy be piss . he wait that long to find out that Sony be go to charge I as much for the wire as he be charh I for the system ! -lrb- Sony have special speaker wire -rrb- anyway I book it to best buy and there it be the ht-db600 . I be impress with the design and it be easy to use @ the store . I look @ the other system but they all cost more . it have the same watt as the other one too . I get it and be eager to hook it up . I take it out of the box and look @ the instruction and I be do put it together in about one hr . like I say I never hook up something like this but it be real easy . I have a hd tv and xbox with all the stuff to make it hd and a sony VCR and a hd samsung direct tv reciever . it be pretty easy to get all hook up to the surround system and everything have sound . I have not have any problem with it scratch up disc or dvd or take to long to load . -lrb- a sony playstation 2 take longer to load -rrb- I have have this for 2 year now . I get use to the remote for it but it do not work with my tv so i just get a universal remote . -lrb- make sure when you get a universal remote you put all option the old one have otherwise you 'll be even more frusterated -rrb- overall this be a pretty cool system . I live in a apartment so I can not have too much power but I still piss off the neighbor . it look cool on the outside and it be not too tall so it can fit inside you entertainment center if you have one . you can also save picture on it so when you be wait for it to load , you have a picture you can look at . I think that be pretty cool . I would recomend this to all who first start out and want to pay less for something that they can use for a while and understand how everything work . I 'll be go back to Samsung to get more product in the future . +247 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 price and performance be what I want and get . I need something to replace my old break down speaker system . the crummy speaker on my tv would not cut it . setup be simple ; it be practically plug and play . I get what I expect . nothing fancy or blow you out of the room but good enough to get the job do . the room it be in be a fairly large odd shaped room but that do not seem to affect the performance at all . I would recommend this to anyone on a budget that just need to get actual sound from whatever you be watch or play . +326 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I have purchase this system to replace my Panasonic dvd home theater system . I just want something better , and stoop my choice on this , base on the good review . also be consider Onkyo system , as my friend have it . I watch the video review on u-tube , where the manufacturer make it be own review compare to some -lrb- not randomly choose -rrb- Panasonic system . the whole review be base on comparison of weight . funny , but truth . receiver be heavy , because of its transformer power supply , the speaker be normal and the sub-woofer be heavy also - big and nice design , but note much more . what be my thought : if the speaker system it be self cost the $ 400.00 price - to I the receiver be worth it be $ 65.00 . I would say little more . the auto speaker set up do not work . I set up the speaker manually - in my room the distance from the listen position and speaker be 12 ' for fl , fr , rl , rr and 11 ' for Central speaker . as I be always experiment - I put 4-5 foot more and less to see the difference , but do not notice any . there be no direct button for digital input - more important to I . it be hard to get from digital optic 1 to second input . the 9 surround mode -lrb- compare to my old Panasonic -rrb- do not have much difference except the stereo mode . I think the receiver have 100 volume level , and the normal to listen be 50 . if little noise -lrb- furnace or other fan -rrb- be appear - have to increase to 55 . to feel all butty of the movie sound -lrb- I check this in `` the house of the fling dagger '' -rrb- I go to 75 . to I this go to be critical for the output amplifier , because it be impedance be for 6 ohm speaker and this speaker be 4 ohm . this go to reduce the life of the receiver to I . also my intention to upgrade the receiver , have to be reconsider , as all new receiver be rate for 6 ohm or 8 ohm speaker . it may work , but the other receiver will cost more , to have the risk . this be my mistake , that I do not think before I order it , but be good for the other to know . the main complain be about the sub-woofer . the box be big , good look and heavy . it have win power supply but : 1 . can not turn power on\/off from the remote ; 2 . can not adjust the volume - have to go to turn the knob ; 3 . the sound be not as good , as the Onkyo sub ; 4 . the SOUND be GOING OUT from the bottom . the leg be 1 3\/4 '' . if you fave to put it on carpet floor , you will have only 1 '' distance for the sound , and the sound will get softer from the carpet . also when the speaker be move the membrane in and out it be push and suck air whit lot of dist from the carpet . if you have to please it on the hardwood floor - make sure the aria be solid -lrb- no loosing board -rrb- , also the sound will be mixed whit the sound of the loose board . I increase the volume of the sub-woofer , to see it be max . power , and it start wake -lrb- I have new hardwood -rrb- this be my first time I see sub-woofer whit bottom sound output . I have Bosse - the sound be come out from the front , the Panasonic one be from the right side - but they do not have they own power supply . the sound be not bad , but not much better than the Panasonic , which have 60wat speaker , and from my friend 's Onkyo . the speaker have nice look , but to I $ 400 for this speaker be to much . I can not judge the most expensive one , as I do not own it . costumer service - be good and very responsible at the day of my order . I order also two optical cable . they suggest I to get the more expensive one for better quality , but they send I the cheaper one . I be sure they do not intend to save a dollar , but after I send they a email , about this and other thought - there be not answer yet . after I tray to write a review in they web site my review do not show up whit only three star . I believe they except only five and up . +338 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 if you want to jump into home theater in one simple purchase , this be the system for you . the separate component work beautifully together and also allow for future upgrade should you ever choose . but it be unlikely that you 'll outgrow this package anytime soon . it pack a whooping 600watt ... 5x100w for the satellite speaker and a 100w power subwoofer that be absolutely potent ! it fill a large room very well -lrb- 16 ` x16 ' -rrb- , with power to spare . -lrb- it be all about the speaker placement . -rrb- it play well loudly , but moderate level sound the best . the dvd\/cd player hold five disk and offer component hook up . -lrb- if available on you television . -rrb- the box only include the composite video cable however . buy a component cable will set you back another 50 dollar , but worth the price . the dvd player produce crisp picture and include plenty of bell and whistle . the receiver have twelve preset surround sound mode include DTS\/Dolby Digital\/Pro Logic\/Logic 7\/etc . Plays CD\/CD-RW\/VCD \/ dvd , but not cd-r\/mp3 . delay capability and adjustable output level allow you to adjust for vary speaker placement within the room . speak of speaker , these little satellite be virtually invisible ... only 4.5 inch in height . but pair with the subwoofer , they produce excellent sound . the drawback ? the remote can be confusing and uncomfortable for big hand to handle and the separate component be huge . -lrb- roughly 17wx17dx12h when stack . -rrb- word of advice ... check out JBL 's website for a list of they licensed internet dealer and check out they price first . a product warranty will not be honor if you purchase any jbl product from a unlicensed distributor . +43 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 my selection of the Onkyo ht-s760 be sway by two factor . first , the generally good customer review and my recollection of Onkyo 's reputation for quality component design . after a very easy setup session -lrb- the supply speaker cable be not useful except for smalish room -rrb- I insert a favorite , special effect fill , dvd expect great thing and then stunned disbelief !! I have hear better sound come from my old `` build you own crystal radio '' set , especially poor at lower volume level . forget music CD 's unless you be just look for background noise while cooking dinner . I have no real problem with the receiver 's design or feature set other than the omission of at least one Digital -lrb- Optical -rrb- output , -lrb- they give you optical input only -rrb- I be replace a middling good audiophile -lrb- 20 year veteran -rrb- quality system that have see better day and figure the state of speaker design must have progress leap and bound in that time but I have be sadly mistake on this point . my recommendation be ratchet you expectation level down a notch or two before install this bad boy . Rank this with the $ 299 home Theater unit you can get at any local appliance store . . +728 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I have have this htib since since for four month and it have vastly improve my home theater & music situation over a much bigger older Sony unit . first the bad , cause if you interested in buy it you want to know that first . the only real inconvenience be the remote . there be too many button on it , which sound dumb , but there really be a lot of odd , yet valuable function the button name do not really describe they well , and it can be overwhelming to some . the remote cease work about a month after I get it except for a blinking light when I press button , none of the function work , which be also a problem becaus there be few control on the unit itself . I be very angry for a week or so , then I finally call Samsung customer support . the rep be knowledgeable and tell I how to ` reset ' the remote . lastly , the remote do not control GE brand television : -lrb- the speaker have some weird proprietary connection , and you can only use the wire that come with it . when I first set up the unit , the rear speaker be not work . I check out the manual and do something with a button to establish the connection , and it have be fine ever since . that say , I think it rock . the main reason be the wireless rear speaker . the other be that it have AM\/FM tunerplay cds\/mp3 files\/jpg files\/dixv movie and have direct usb input on the face , though I have not use it . be able to play divx movie allow you to play movie that previously could be limit to the pc . I have burn a couple of divx movie to CD -lrb- not dvd -rrb- , and they will play in this machine , though I be not able to use the fastforward function on it . when you insert a disc full of JPG photo or image , it play the image without you do anything , or you can skip around , browse in a menu , whatever . it also show the filename of the image on the front display . you can also open the disc tray to change disc without stop what be playing . I have find the sound to be more than adequate , and no scratchy bass or noticeable noise . it fill my med . size living room with sound or most any part of my house when I turn it up . there be several sound preset for different program . the unit be also kind of attractive and the speaker be not obtrusive . the manual be generally helpful , though there be so many extra on this machine it can be difficult to find what you be look for . I notice that one reviewer do not like the receiver , or feel mislead about the wireless rear speaker . the unit keep you from snake wire across the living room , but the rear be plug into a receiver\/amplifier , which must be plug into a wall . I consider this a vast improvement , and I hope too many people be not sway by that review . if speaker be completely wireless , they would have build in reciever and be power by battery or solar or dilithium crystal . in short , they would be space-age , and you could not afford they . I give it a large thumb up , with no major flaw . Update : I have have the unit for about 3.5 year now , and I have notice that it do not have a shuffle function , which I miss . the bass be not as impressive as I use to think it be , though I think the unit sound the same . and in the last few month , it have develop a glitch where sometimes when I use the power button on the unit it will switch function instead of power down . usually if I press it a few time , it eventually power down . +556 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 the positive review of this system be not a fluke . this be a solid , inexpensive way to improve on tv speaker if you want better sound but do not want to spend a bundle on a sound bar or a real surround sound system . I say `` real '' because this be not a Dolby Digital 5.1 system , the current standard . there be three input , and all three be stereo -lrb- l\/r -rrb- input . what come out appear to be pro-logic , although I have not be able to confirm that in any of the spec . that say , by balance the speaker volume -lrb- you can independently control the volume for center , rear , front , and subwoofer channel -rrb- , you can get a nice , room-filling sound that allow for dialog through the center channel and music through all 5.1 , close enough to Pro-Logic for my limited need in this room . and bear in mind that most 2.1 system on here be not much cheaper . so why not opt for the extra speaker , even if they do not get discreet audio ? room-fill if you room be small , that be . I put this in a bedroom , which be nice thanks to its compact size . what be more , there be a remote , which the comparable Coby system -lrb- retailing here for $ 40 -rrb- do not have . the speaker wire length be generous enough for small room -lrb- and you do not really want this for large room -rrb- . and despite the towering picture , this be a small , very small , unit . the subwoofer can almost -lrb- though not quite -rrb- fit under the bed . all in all I give this 5 star as a worthwhile product for the price . obviously , up against true 5.1 system this do not measure up . but for $ 55 , you get -lrb- at least -rrb- what you pay for . +4 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 i have to return it because i love it ... can you believe that ? let I explain that : i be 36 so that mean im always look for the best , this be my second onkyo product , i get my first onkyo home theater in 2005 and be a bang for the buck !!! this one i buy it specifically because be only 2 speaker plus the woofer , easy installation !! i be try to avoid the hassle to install yard and yard of cable , and its only this one or the bose one . I get it today , then i install it , and after listen to it i decide to pay almost 30 buck to return it -lrb- i be honest and say its because i do not want it anymore -rrb- in order to exchange it for the top of the line -lrb- around 900 buck -rrb- because it make I remember why i love onkyo so much , believe I you wont regret it !!! when you start the config you can feel that you buy some high quality product , then one great surprise ; you have the option to buy the extra speaker from onkyo for 100 buck and convert it to full 5.1 -lrb- come with the connection -rrb- , anyway if some one complain about this , believe I , if someone complain about this home theater , be almost sure he\/she will about any other one . +921 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 1st let I start by say thank you amazon 4 the fast delivery of the Martin logan mlt-2 surround sound system . then I say i be and school audiophily from new york where back in the day street dj 's would bring there audio equipment out in the neighborhood and play at block party and other event . i also spend time at different club look and list to the different turntable and speaker that be be use at that time . and they use great stuff , so i know good sound when i hear it . heart pound bass , smooth midrange , and those ear tickle high . i have own some of the best mis price system around . which bring I 2 the martin logan\/mlt -2 . currently i pump they with a pioneer vsx-921k , onkyo 5dic cd changer that be about 5yr old and still work flawless , and 4 my tv and bluray i use 42 `` samsung lcd and samsung bluray player . 4 music i play anything from gospel 2 rock . and watch old worldwar2 movie to today moveie like Transfomers . the mlt-2 's give u everything from rock solid bass with music and those super low boom u can only hear at the theater . the midrange and dialogue be smooth and clear , the high be rich tinglely . they sound better than the bose321 that i previously own and the time i purcashed they they cost over a 1000.00 dollar . so 4 any body look 4 great home theater speaker u do not need 2 look any further than the Martin logan mlt-2 . great job martin logan . +444 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I really like this sound bar . the rear speaker be wire to the sub and the sub be wirelessly connect to the sound bar . I have the same problem with the LED 's after 1 day . a call to Vizio support fix the problem . just disconnect power to the sound bar and press the power button on the sound bar for 1 minute . then reconnect the power and the LED 's work again . if it be not for this I would have rate it 5 star . also it be $ 50 less at Walmart . com . sound be not audiophile quality but close enough to impress . Works better on movie than music and eliminate run wire all around you room . definitely worth the price . +981 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 back in 2000 , I purchase this system to be my all-in-one home theater . while $ 700 can now get you much , much more , this be a great system for I . speaker be not overly powerful , but they be extremely easy to set up and run , good sound quality , and stylish . I have have it for almost 6 year and only complaint be a crappy dvd lense -lrb- reader -rrb- . some disk be stubborn , but still play . I typically troubleshoot by re-loading dvd until it would read . then , I get smart and purchase a scotch dvd cleaner from BestBuy , which greatly help . lastly , when Progressive scan dvd player come down in price , I just buy one for cheap to get higher picture quality and run sound through Panasonic -lrb- use as traditional receiver\/speaker setup , not all-in one -rrb- . I have finally outgrow this set , but I do plan on run it in my bedroom as I replace with a higher-end , more digitally enable system . speaker be too weak for big family room , and no digital audio in\/out or upconversion ability . +354 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I buy this unit in January 2006 from bbuy . I admit I be mainly look for a surround sound system but the price seem reasonable and with all the other feature -lrb- 5-disc changer , divx capable , etc. -rrb- I think what the heck . at first I do not really use the dvd player that much , but when I do I have a problem with a few disc skip after about a hour into the movie , at the time I just figure the disc themselves be bad , like I say I do not use it to watch many movie . well recently my wife start work at a movie rental store , so with free rental we have start watch a lot more movie . now I see that the dvd function on this unit be basically useless , pretty much every movie we play begin to skip and then freeze at about a hour and fifteen minute into the movie . I know it be not the disc , sometimes she get free unopened movie as promotional item and the same thing happen , a hour and fifteen minute or so into the movie it begin to skip , every single time now . I have try disc cleaner with no luck . after some research online , it seem that alot of people have the same exact problem with all type of samsung dvd player . maybe there be just a few bad unit float around out there but nonetheless I would recommend go with another brand . +899 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I have use it for a week work fine good sound -lrb- for the money -rrb- great look exeed my expectation . te volume be not really loud but for a medium room will work grat . if you be lloke for a budget all in one not need real power speaker this be it . +490 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I buy this for a second tv in a bedroom . I have a higher-end built-in surround sound system include a Yamaha receiver in my living room . that live room receiver have `` pass-through standby '' or standby pass-through , which be to say that , when the receiver be not on , the tv speaker still produce sound , e.g. , if you want to listen quietly at night . this unit , however , do not have that feature and to compound that issue , it also automatically shut itself off after 24 hour of no user input -lrb- e.g. , volume change or be turn on -rrb- . so when it shut off , there be no tv sound and the way I have it set up , no picture either . and I never want to turn this off - I want it always on standby -lrb- it do not get hot , so no reason I know of not to do this -rrb- , but that do not work . so now I have to manually turn this on and off when use the tv . it work , and the sound be fine , but not the setup I have envision . unless I miss it , I do not see any info . about this on the Amazon info or Yamaha supply info on the product info . page . at first , I think this be someone else turn it off in my house , or a defect , but eventually , I be tell by second-level support that it be work as design . -lrb- this info . be not mention in the product user manual , either . -rrb- so just be aware of this , if you be plan to use the unit like I be . +179 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this home theater system be just what the doctor order . the pitch and bass be great for a action movie . the dvd quality be perfect for those mushy gushy movie that the chica want to watch . however , the volume do only go to 35 . before you buy this item though , I suggest look at walmart . the product code be dav-dz175 instead of the 170 , but i be pretty sure its the exact same system for forty buck less . pro : great sound great Bass Good video quality nice look system great price con : no eq control small remote +795 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I purchase this system to couple with a 55 '' Insignia lcd tv . setup -lrb- with color code on the system plug in port , wiring and speaker -rrb- be easy enough . in the room that I put it in and the way I run the wiring -lrb- through the wall -rrb- , the front speaker wire be not long enough . I simply remove excess wiring from the surround speaker and splice it to the front speaker . when I initially turn on the system I could only hear sound from a couple of speaker . I then realize most tv program be not broadcast in surround , when I insert a dvd ... . Whoa ... blow away . with traditional audio cable -lrb- red , white , blue , green etc. -rrb- the picture and sound be very good but once I add a hdmus and fiber optic audio cable the quality truly become theatrical . the sub woofer be not over the top and the overall sound truly surround you . I do not remember read if the dvd player upscale the view quality of standard movie but I have go back and look at some movie in my collection and the picture quality be a lot better than I ever remember . with the include setup dvd and calibration mic get the best sound out of the system be pretty easy . for this price it would be pretty hard to beat a home theater system of this caliber . outstanding !!! +961 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I could not use it to the fullest potential as I live in a apartment . I like it till now , I have flat screen tv never face any problem as they describe in other review for plasma tv 's . I like the look of it too , the tall boy speaker look great . I pay 410 $ and I be expect 50 $ back -lrb- 360 $ -rrb- . I feel it be worth the money . I rate it 5 star from experience . +839 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 the Samsung ht-db600 sound and look great . some review that I have read have say they be a thump come from the Subwoofer when use the DTS and P-SCAN , but I have not have any problem . my Samsung system be hook up to a 43inch HITACHI HDTV -lrb- which look great -rrb- . this system be worth every penny I spend on it , would defintly recommend to anyone !!!!!!!!!!!! +663 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 the product be good but it could use more feature such as a kareoke set up and different mode of sound . -lcb- concert hall , jazz hall , ect . -rcb- +675 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I be excite by all the feature offer in this unit for the price , but live with it have leave I feel otherwise . 1 . weak weak weak remote . point directly , push repeatedly , and maybe it 'll work . Buttons be tiny , not light , etc 2 . lowest volume too loud ! how can a product be make like that ? 3 . amplifier dead after 3 month of light use . I be call the company tomorrow , it be get a 1 year warranty , but I be not hopeful . even if they ship a replacement , I do not think I want it ! ... +167 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I be very happy with this purchase . have check around at a lot of place and find nothing this good for the price ! +308 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 ok . I know that I can not blame Yamaha for the rest of the market be so expensive . I feel that this unit should be around $ 200 . but , have hear the review on the other $ 150 -- 200 soundbar , I decide instead to spend $ 300 for something that I would not be disappoint in , and I definitely be not disappoint . pro : 1 . low profile , fit easily under most tv 's without look like a afterthought 2 . hard-wired subwoofer fit on you rack -lrb- mean you do not have to deal with a wireless subwoofer randomly not work , plus look nice on the shelf instead of under a lamp -rrb- 3 . ease of setup -lrb- speaker wire , a beer , optical cable , turn on , adjust the center channel up for speech , turn on a movie in extended sound & enjoy -rrb- 4 . UniVolume keep all tv commercial & channel at the same volume ! 5 . much improve sound for both movie & music , without the hassle of wire string around the room con : 1 . for $ 300 , they really should throw in the optical cable -lrb- buy it online thru Amazon as well , they be ~ $ 15 at a box store if you do not -rrb- 2 . its $ 300 -lrb- but I be not go to spend $ 200 on something that be not go to sound much better than my tv or have other problem , so you get what you pay for here -rrb- . 04\/01\/2012 . bought 4-5 week ago . at first I keep turn off the Yamaha and listen instead through my tv speaker , not `` amaze '' at the difference , but after watch some movie , sport event and music in they respective sound mode , I would not want to go back to the dull & tinny tv speaker ! this be a huge improvement over my Samsung 's tv speaker . I have Google TV thru my Logitech Revue , and now streaming Pandora or Google Play with the soundbar in `` Music '' mode sound immensely better . I can crank up the volume , and its a good quality sound throughout the house , just fine for cleaning day or have some people over . Bass be nice , sound do not get easily distorted -lrb- do not listen to music in `` extended '' stereo though -rrb- . I be not a professional audiophile , however I have listen to music on $ 10 and $ 200 headphone , and know what the difference in sound be . I have upgrade the speaker in my vehicle , and have studio speaker in my main audio setup . be this a $ 2,000 speaker setup that will shake & rattle ? no. . but for the small living room that I have , it sound perfect . if you live in a apartment , condo or have a smaller living room , you do not need more than this . will not piss off you neighbor , but make movie , sport & music wholesome without any tech headache . I do not want to mess with a `` wireless '' subwoofer like other model have -lrb- just something else to break or randomly not work -rrb- , and have the woofer build into the `` rack '' receiver work great for my layout . watch a movie be lackluster before , but now with the `` extended '' movie mode , while its not true surround sound , add that audio depth to movie that be so important . it definitely fill up the room with richer sound , bigger boom & bang , and yet still audible speech -lrb- I take the advice of some other reviewer , be sure to turn the center channel up , the default setup be not quite right -rrb- . also , the fact that it have HDMI input , mean that it will be able to handle my next tv as well -lrb- see review on some of the other sound bar that do not have hdmus input -rrb- . also , some of the other soundbar do not handle the hd sound with some configuration , and I do not want to mess with that either -lrb- read the comment on some of the other brand -rrb- . for $ 300 , you get something that will not have trouble with hd sound , & have hdmus input for future tv 's , and you could move into you bedroom -lrb- or give to family -rrb- if you ever upgrade in the future . Wish it be not $ 300 , but very happy with the purchase . -lrb- PS , if you like the review , click `` YES '' that the review be helpful -rrb- +465 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I need to know which wall mount bracket will I need for the speaker of this system or for the DX-170 System +272 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 overall I think this system be very good . it produce great sound for small living room . the wireless tower do not work when I hook it up , but if you read the manual it clearly state that there be a reset button on the back of the tower and you must press it a couple of time if the tower do not comunicate with the reciever . I do this and everything work great now . I have have no problem with the wireless speaker pick up other signal and they sound just as clear as the front wire speaker . if you want wireless and do not want to spend too much , then you can not go wrong with this system . +121 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 absolutely fantastic . sound quality be excellent . Easy to set up and the wireless subwoofer allow for better acoustic arrangement . I purchase Niro pro 1.1 by Nakamichi about 7-8 year ago when the they start to develop the virtual surround sound home theater . this be the first edition by Niro . the sound be great and the receiver come when a build in dvd player and AM\/FM stereo receiver . it work great for year until the dvd player when bad and it be not worth the cost of fix it . at that time bose have the acousta mass and satellite speaker system . I do not want to run wire all over the place so the Niro be the best thing out there at the time . the Vizio system be excellent and great sound quality . and for the price it be 1\/4 the cost of what I pay for the Niro system year ago . +181 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be a great little system . the 150 Watts be definitely loud enough for I . I get it for $ 89 at Meijer . Cant go wrong at this price although I be consider a power subwoofer for really deep Bass . pro Plays DVD-R DVD+R Nice Fullscreen Feature Nice Clean Sound Easy Set up Cons not the deep bass I want no AM\/FM Tuner No Progressive scan no Digital Audio Inputs +533 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 with sound performance this good , why would anyone buy a traditional rack system -lrb- separate component -rrb- ? this one piece do it all , play my dvd , cd , and have a tuner for radio . it take I 15 minute to set it up and get it work , and the sound be really true . who have a entire weekend to spend figure out a new system ? I have a friend who buy a cheapie home theater in a box , and he be really jealous now . Mine sound 10x better than he , and have serious power . he be more like a big boom box . I have this one in my living room , and I really do not miss my old bigger , 10 piece system , and neither do my girlfriend . I be think about get another one for my bedroom , and one for my father who be just ready to get a dvd player , and be think of upgrade he old receiver . I think he 'll really like this one , and it be a dream to set up . only drawback be that it be a one disk loader , so can not shuffle . but I guess you can not have it all at this price ? : -rrb- +631 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this be a good product for the price , however the first one that we receive do not work properly . the music\/sound effect come through really loud and the dialogue come through soft . it be impossible to get a balance that would allow we to watch a dvd . the sound and picture also do not match up while use the dvd player . we be able to return it , and the second one work much better . it be not a $ 500 system , but then again , we do not pay for a $ 500 system . it also look nicer than the picture show here . +145 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 JVC have put out some quality product . this be not one of they . whoever be in charge of this design , just be not think . for instance , the button that open and shut the tray be located under the tray ! you have to twist you arm to shut the tray . many essential feature be not include and if they be they be difficult to access . the volume equalizer be virtually inaccessible . the lowest volume setting be loud . there be no input on this receiver at all ! everything about this system design be , literally , painful ! i return the system because of buzz speaker and the system do not shut off the subwoofer , when in stand by . so not only be it junk , but the one I get be defective ! i buy another JVC system , the h9000 I think , not out of loyalty but because I be look for a inexpensive system . it be not `` region free '' but , it be comparabely price and , obvious that whoever design it take a moment to think , before put it together . +280 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 all the other review seem to be write by audiophile who know what they be talk about . I be a single mom who just love movie and buy this because of price and other review . I have a harder time set it up -lrb- manual be awful -rrb- but go into the Sony.com site where they have tutorial and take it from there . sound seem so rich compare to my regular projection tv and I be a happy camper . I still have a mess of wire to deal with , have to figure out the remote and see if I can consolidate my three remote down to one -lrb- ? be that possible ? -rrb- , work on the sound balance and mount of the speaker but I be just happy I do not blow up my tv try to configure everything . THere be cheaper system out there but I want a dependable name brand that look well build . so I be content - now would one of you other reviewer explain all the rest of the mumbo jumbo audio stuff to I ? LOL +696 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I would be more likely to buy this if I have some more information on it like how many watt per channel it be and if it have a tuner and it it play cd that be burn from a computer so I do not understand how anyone can buy this stereo if they do not really know what they be get . +250 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 BEEN A BOSE FANATIC and will be one for LIFE TIME !! want to LISTEN to DEPTH of UNADULTERED SOUND ? look no FUTHER ITS BOSE NOTHING ELSE MATTERS WANT A ROOM FULL of SOUND NOT A ROOM FULL of SPEAKERS WHERE the most minute sound from a crack of a glass can not only be HEARD BUT feel with dept +455 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 look ... 1 . I do need a good quality home Theater 2 . Dolby Digital , 5.1 ch 3 . for a little room -lrb- 5 meter square -rrb- 4 . low price -lrb- if you compare about the dvd+amplifier+speaker -rrb- 5 . VCD function to play my home video -lrb- burn in a pc -rrb- 6 . strong volume but not enough to have problem with the neighborhood -lrb- and my wife -rrb- 7 . with a in-plug for the VCR . then I compare the price for a home Theater like Sony 875 with multus IN\/OUT 's , speaker system with 500w or more ... but it be near four time more expensive ... then I return to the list above and finally my taste and my wallet be satisfy . the davs500 be excellent for a little room and for a dvd\/vcr system ... that be all ... if you want to play music you be wrong with this equipment . the sound for a dvd be a Sony sound . . clear and perfect , but if you wanna play cdmusic you will understand that Sony doen ' t want you have a sound-video system in one , it look like the system switch the sound quality if you play a dvd or a cd ... Wanna play music ?? , buy a sound system Wanna play a dvd movie ??? ... it be perfect with this machine . +423 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 great product , compact design , very good functionality , easy to set up . I love it . could use a better look design , but it be ok . +442 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I have no trouble install the system in my house . we put in a movie and it work right off the bat . so far we have nothing but good thing to say about this system . we be very pleased with it be performance . +356 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I go to a store to listen to this system in person before order it -lrb- it be sell out at every store I go to , but Amazon have it -rrb- . one of the feature that be very important to I be that the system play my mp3 cd clearly . after hear it , I be quite satisfied , and extremely anxious to get one . set it up be a cinch . I need to get some speaker stand for the satellite speaker , but otherwise its completely set up . as soon as I get my dvd rental off of NetFlix , I pop one in the system and I be blow away !! it be exactly like be in a movie theater -lrb- especially that part in the begin where the letter , `` thx '' show up on the screen and you hear the sound and rumble all around you -rrb- the subwoofer be incredible . I still need to learn how to use a lot of the feature , there be so many feature . but there be some feature that Panasonic should have add : 1 . -rrb- here be a big one ; treble and bass control . at the time you can only control the bass level by up the subwoofer level , and the treble be adjust by select from a choice of pre-set sound level call `` Rock , Flat , Live ... '' and so on . 2 . -rrb- when you playback mp3 's you have to go through they one by one , there should be a `` skip 10 '' or `` skip 20 '' option . that be it though . I love my new system , it make tv show more exciting -lrb- I enjoy watch `` Alias '' with my home theater system turn on to tv mode -rrb- , the radio be simple to use , the CD play feature be excellent , and of course the dvd 's play just like the movie . +194 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 the Toshiba sd-43htsu and at least one other Toshiba system have a high failure rate . the unit come on , display `` hello ... protection ... Goodbye '' and shut off . search of the web and a call to Toshiba both blame the problem on c27 . for those not electronically mind , that be a Capacitor number 27 . this particular capacitor be a 100uf -lrb- microfarad -rrb- with a voltage rating of 16v . I have replace c27 with a 100uf rate at 25v on the theory that excess voltage be the problem . so far so good . the unit work again ! to replace this capacitor -lrb- which cost less than a dollar at a electronics supply store -rrb- , first remove the top cover . c27 be label in small print on the main board -lrb- biggest and below all other board -rrb- near the center of the instrument . you will have to remove the bottom board entirely , which look complicated but be not really too bad . to get at the main board , and unsolder c27 , you have to remove the main board . do not worry about get the connector back where they come from . they be all key so that they go in only one way and the semi-permanent bend in the wire make it pretty obvious where all the connector go and which way . in the way be a vertical board which run from front to back . this vertical board be also attach permanently to a 3 '' x 5 '' board attach to the rear panel via the video input and output connector . both board come out together if you unfasten the 3 '' x 4 '' board from the rear panel . the vertical board make connection to the main board in two place with edge connector on the vertical board . note how they fit into the main board . remove every screw from the rear panel except those hold the fan and those hold the antenna connector to the rear panel . carefully pull out the two flat cable from the center vertical board and one between the AM\/FM tuner -lrb- small board in the left rear corner of instrument -rrb- to the 3 '' x 5 '' board . one connector with individual wire connect to the dvd assembly . it be solder to the main board , but the connector come out easily at the dvd assembly end . pull the side of the instrument apart very slightly to unsnap the rear panel from the instrument . one connector below the 3 '' x 5 '' board connect to the power supply board directly beneath the 3 '' x 5 '' board . my instrument have a toroid around that cable ... yours may not . pull out all the connector to the main board and remove the 6 screw hold it to the bottom of the chassis . remove the one screw toward the front of the instrument hold the vertical board in place . now you can tip the main board up and get to the back . note that the capacitor have a minus sign on it . you must replace the old capacitor in the same orientation . the minus sign point to the left of the instrument . unsolder c27 and replace with 100uf\/25v . be sure you have connect all the cable up again when you reassemble the unit . the whole job should take less than a hour and it sure beat the price of the repair or shipment to Toshiba . I be visit in Panama at the moment and Toshiba have no repair and no warranty here . +825 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 anyone on a budget look for a home theater system , need to look no more . but only if all you component have a hdmus output . it take I about a hour to set it up , connect all component and adjust the sound to my preference . it be not very dificult to set up , either . as far as tech-savvy go , I be good , but no expert . so this system be a plus for those in doubt . and the instruction manual be pretty helpful too . any movie with a lot of action , be enjoyable with the system . specially , a movie like ` inception ' . that sub be do it be work very well when the action be heavy . you 'll have to raise the volume on the center speaker though , 'cause when there be a lot of action , the dialogue be a bit hard to hear . either that , or adjust the other speaker 's accordingly . include the sub . it be biggest drawback be the lack of a fourth hdmus input and a headphone jack . I have four component . PS3 , Xbox 360 , blu-ray player , and a cable box . the cable box be the least important one here so I have the other three plug in directly to the receiver . instead , I have my cable box plug into the tv , and a toslink cable run from the tv to the receiver . no biggie , but it be a extra step when I have to change the input on my tv and the input on the receiver . the headphone jack be a problem only if you tv do not have a headphone jack either ... which , mine do not . and yes , eventhough it be a home theater , there will be time when you 'll want to play game , watch a movie or tv in silence . at the moment , I have not find a way to get around that problem , so I find myself play game and movie in low volume . I personally find it annoying since I keep turn the volume up or down at certain point for whatever it be that I be do . anyways . you can not go wrong with this system . minor gripe , but nothing to turn away from it . obviously it will not compare to a $ 500 receiver and a $ 400 speaker set -lrb- which I help someone set up -rrb- , but if you be on a budget and\/or do not have the space , this be the one you want to buy . I really love mine . +169 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I read the negative review for Koss dvd player online , but I think I would give it a shot anyway , as Sears have a good deal over Christmas . well , the 90 day warranty run out a few week ago , and now the machine be nothing but a big silver paperweight . will not read ANY disk anymore . have not have a single problem till this , but on every review site , people describe similar experience . Ugh . I guess I deserve it . +451 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 it take I several hour to figure out that the back speaker wire -lrb- and associate plug -rrb- be not attach to the plastic casing that cover the connection port on the speaker . the wire be loose through a hole in that plastic cover\/housing . Vizio could have mention this configuration in the manual , with some sort of easy picture ... but NO. . I think there be some other issue with the unit that I keep try to diagnose . plus , I keep see review and complaint about how the back speaker do not work for some folk . finally , before call they support line -lrb- which I be scare to do -rrb- , I try one last time and luck out to find this configuration . what you need to do be pull some of the wire through the plastic cover\/casing . then , connect the wire\/plug to the back speaker connection , make certain that the plug be secure\/firmly in the outlet . finally , move the plastic cover along the wire and attach the cover to the back of the speaker . TA DA ! it work . it be so stupid and I be so angry for they not be any specific advice about this anywhere -lrb- even on the internet -rrb- . the only thing the manual mention be : the wire to the back speaker may come loose in transport and may need to be reattach . however , the manual do not tell you , specifically , how to reattach that wire . I hope this help those who be have fit , like I do . beyond that , this piece seem to be a pretty good solution and sound pretty good , or at least good enough for my sister : - -rrb- +97 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I have Onyx and buy high end speaker -- but the sound for tv be never `` right '' . now it be !! it also do good thing to video quality -lrb- upgrade 480\/720 to 1080 -rrb- . the controller control all you video \/ audio input . it do not let you shut off you tv and just listen to another audio source just as background music ... this be a design flaw if you ask I . I would like to set up Pandora on my Blu Ray and just listen , but hate to waste the ` tron to have the tv on when no one be watch . this be just stupid for the system engineer ... ok ok , I admit that I be probably picky ... but I be a nuclear engineer and I know that it be just simply stupid not to anticipate this need by consumer . it do not let you use two remote control ... I know ; why would I want to do that ? well , those of we who be marry and want to have it loud or soft depend on whether or not we be on the phone with Daddy ... let 's just say that bose engineer be pretty stupid not to add a `` key code '' to each remote\/console so that you can have multiple remote and still not control the neighbor ' tv -lrb- assume he be smart enough to buy a bose system -rrb- -- btw , that be the lame excuse give to I by the customer service rep when I call to see why I could not set up two remote for the system -lrb- I buy a second one so my wife and I could stop fight over the remote -rrb- . now I have a second remote that make a great paper weight but be just that useful ... to say I be irritated be to understate my attitude . these be stupid issue and the bose engineer should be shamefaced for overlook these consumer expectation . also , some people will fault it for not have a ipod dock or bluetooth ; but I do not need that , do you ? bottom line -- good sound , easy to use and set up -- some stupid engineering flaw that may make you unhappy . +790 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this sytem be very easy to setup and the quality be very good . I can any dvd store buy and homemade one too . I have not try play a Divx movie yet but I be sure will be great as well . +793 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I just get this system 2 week ago and it rock ! installation be quite easy , but the setup a little bit tricky as other reviewer state . you need to read the manual , especially to setup the dvd player so that it will output dt or Dolby Digital 5:1 signal to the A\/V Amplifier . once do , set the a\/v amp on auto detect and enjoy the show . you 'll see the a\/v amp tell you if it be dt sound or Dolby Digital , the little blue light be on , mean you be truly experience the movie as it be release in theater . lotr , black hawk down , Matrix , Gladiator be movie you want to really demonstrate the quality of this system . lot of special effect , great sound , and a lot of rumble ... +114 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 Buyer beware . if you buy make sure you test EVERY feature before the 30 day be up . this will take alot of work as there be many feature and alot of setup . otherwise you can not return it . the MX 6000us I receive have the follow issue : 1 -rrb- dvd player do not work 2 -rrb- dvd drawer be stick open after 3 opening . 4 -rrb- Phillips support do not recognize the product model number 5 -rrb- Product have many mode -lrb- tv sound , dvd , internet , pc link -rrb- and lock up in these mode require a reboot . 6 -rrb- reboot be sometimes slow 7 -rrb- tv sound mode have significant delay from tv picture 8 -rrb- after some time tv sound mode add artifact to the tv sound require reboot . 9 -rrb- stream media be jerky . 10 -rrb- dvd drawer require many pushing of the button to open . 11 -rrb- the picture of this thing be mislead the tower speaker be really like 10 time the height of the dvd unit . +907 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 i be extremely pleased with my purchase of the Yamaha yht-494bl 5.1 home theater system ... the quality of the sound be excellent ... the system totally bring out the sound involve in my gaming , work wonderfully with my xbox 360 , ps3 , and the blu-ray movie play on the ps3 ... worth every penney , for not alot of dough ... if you on the fence , no worry , top kit product ... Yamaha know a few thing about quality sound , since they produce musical instrument for a long time , and may i add some beautiful motorcycle ... ; -rrb- +614 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I have be spoil all my life with my parent THX home theater system and digital projector , and when I move out , although I didd not have enough money to afford $ 10,000 worth of equipment I still want a home theater setup . this apex unit catch my eye because of its feature set and low price - I be not expect much . suprisingly enough , this little puppy really perform ! that not to say that its a substitute for a full on home theater setup , but if you be on a tight budget and still want to watch you movie in 5.1 this be the way to go . +382 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I be look for a home Theater in a box solution that be minimalist in appearance , without compromise on sound quality or available feature . I try the bose 3-2-1 system and cinemate speaker prior to this . I end up return both the product . for about $ 500 less , Yamaha deliver amazing sound quality in a very small footprint ! I highly recommend this product for apartment dweller or someone who appreciate minimalism . pro : - 3 hdmus input + 1 Analog - solid Build Quality + Yamaha reputation - one-of-a-kind receiver that have a built-in subwoofer - great price & fast shipping on amazon.com CONS : - the speaker bar sometimes block the infrared port on the tv , thereby make it difficult to use the tv remote . -lrb- this be really not a con , as you can dismount the leg to lower the height or position the speaker appropriately -rrb- +579 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 my wife and I pick this one out after look and listen to a lot of comparable . the sound have a fullness and depth that I just do not hear in any other compact home theater system under $ 500 . Hookup take less time than I expect ; however , you will need to purchase additional speaker wire ... the supply wire be just too short . -lrb- you do not necessarily need to buy monster cable -rrb- the plus side of the sound quality outweigh the negative of a rather slow disc changer\/reader . and watch a dvd in Dolby ProLogicII be a excellent experience . the sacd format be also fantastic whether you be listen to dark side of the Moon -lrb- a absolute must with sacd -rrb- or the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra -lrb- try Mahler 's Resurrection Symphony -rrb- . again , it be a perfect home theater system for the price . +392 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I buy this as a second system for my bedroom . I already have a much more expensive reference system in my living room . I be offer a Phillips 9 inch color portable very cheap and think this would go great with it . I spend some time install the speaker around my bed with the front three , subwoofer and monitor on special shelving at the base . I have to admit I be totally blow away with the sound quality and volume possible from this little unit . Norcent should have add adjustable bass and treble control because the bass while impressive on dvd material be too much on CD or on information feed to the input jack . unfortunately my unit develop a problem with intermittent sound output on the right front and surround channel . at first I fiddle with the speaker wire and get the sound back but the problem keep re-occuring so I have have to ship it back to Norcent for repair . the speaker terminal be cheap and nasty and let down a otherwise nice little performer . give that this unit will probably be install in a lot of bedroom and den a headphone socket would be useful for late night use . overall good and , if it have not develop this problem , I would say a incredible value unit . to be honest I have have just as much fun use this as my other system which cost as much as a small car ! +152 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 we buy Samsung 's home theater system . it work reasonably well for a very short while , before the receiver suffer a debilitating hardware fault . Samsung accept that the unit be defective and repair it . eighteen month later , the issue rematerialize , but Samsung refuse to re-correct it - irrespective of the fact that they repair job do not last . numerous call to customer service achieve nothing more than unfulfilled promise that a manager would call we back , and the follow message -lrb- almost verbatim -rrb- : `` due to normal wear and tear , it be unreasonable to expect Samsung product to last longer than 18 month . '' +81 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 for a not very techie family we like the sound that come out of this system . much easier to hook up than other brand we buy and then return because it would not sync with we tv . we do not watch a lot of dvd , but like the sound that come out when watch tv , sport , movie and news . +874 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I purchase a LG television last fall and have really enjoy it . when I need a new combo system I find this lg system that fit my need . it be the only one in this price range that allow you to hook up already exist speaker . most unit have those little plastic plug that make you use they speaker . my u-verse dvr have a ethernet plug so the internet hookup be easy . it have a ipod dock and you can control you music playback onscreen . I have really enjoy use the online capability . Netflix be add more movie all the time and you can even view photo save with Picasa -lrb- Google -rrb- . create you own radio station use Pandora be icing on the cake . all-in-all , a great unit for the money . +545 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 `` I will be tackle Panasonic 's sc-ht900 700 Watt home theater system today . it be a luxurious look package with 4 slim tallboy speaker accompany by a center speaker , the sc-ht900 look tall and slim . the subwoofer come with a built-in 220 watt power amplifier and hold the same slim and tall characteristic . it seem that Panasonic have make this home theater system look like those fashion model with too much makeup and too much height . the only difference I see between they ... the ht900 be metallic silver and butt naked ! ... full review @ Bytesector ... +72 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 ... to address the subwoofer problem -lrb- which I run into myself -rrb- , it be not hard to fix . the connection cord be probably backwards and just need to be flip , or the subwoofer have not be turn on THROUGH the reciever . this be the first home Theater I have ever own . believe I when I be go to buy something like this I do lot of research . Research be what I do ! for about 2 month I read review after review , look at every system in every store , conduct interview of people who own system . after all that the Aiwa HT-D580 be what I choose . this have Dolby Digital and DTS decoder . it also have a pro Logic decoder which let you watch normal cable in surround . it have a great separation that put you in the movie . the subwoofer sound great . 50 watt may not sound like much , but it be power with little distorion even at high volume . this have a volume level of 50 . although the highest I have listen to it be 25 , and that be make my house shake . so it be definitly powerful enough for a large family room . it be also pretty easy to use all together , many thing be very self explanitory . the best thing about the sound be that it never be distorted even at high volume , many other system I look at do . if you do not have much money , want killer sound , deep bass that put you in the movie , Dolby Digital , pro logic and dt decoder , get this system you will be impressed ! +672 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I purchase a Samsung HT-DM150 Home Theater System to complement the Samsung 27 '' hdtv I have get for my bedroom sit area . it be a great compact system for a compact room . I would not recommend use it in a large room , but it certainly provide enough power for a small room . the manual be adequate , but could provide a little more detail . connect and configure the system be straightforward and very easy to do . once everything be up and run , I proceed to test the system out . the picture quality through the component cable be exceptional and the sound be clean with little perceptible distortion . the system easily handle the various dvd I throw at it and be able to provide volume level a lot higher than I expect . the remote control leave something to be desire , but most oem remote do . still , the machine be everything I have want and I do not have to shell out a lot of cash to get it so I be very happy and very imporessed with Samsung . unfortunately , my enjoyment of the system do not last long . apparently , the unit run extremely hot and the fan may not provide enough cooling . around 1.5-2 hour into watch dvd , the system refuse to display a picture on the screen . the unit be very hot and the fan apear to have stop . only after I turn the power off and then turn it on again , do I receive a picture . I have read about this issue when research the product , but think it might have be correct . guess I be wrong . the unit I have be not enclose in a cabinet , but lie on a open shelf expose on all four side , so it be not a issue of improper ventillation . I plan to take a look at the fan and see if there be some way I can fix it myself before return it to the store for a replacement or store credit . I hope there be a solution , because frankly , I would hate to have to shell out more cash for a system that do half of what this one do . to sum it all up , for the price , the feature can not be beat . just be aware the unit do run rather hot and you may have some issue with the unit not work . if Samsung address these problem , they 'll have a killer system . so 2 star because of the low power and poor reliability as a result of cooling . if not for the cooling issue , I would give the Samsung ht-dm150 at least 4 star . +620 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 first , let I start by say ; I seldom review product online . I really enjoy have good feedback from other before purchase this product and think it be a good idea to provide similar information for other . the good : - nice system out of the box . clean appearance , ample connection for most home theater setup -lrb- remember , you no longer need a hdmus for the bluray player as it be build in -rrb- . - extremely simple to setup . probably the most `` plug-and-play '' system I have ever see ... right down to the speaker connection . - rear channel wireless speaker . okay , I know ... they encode\/decode and sound quality be lose , they have a limited range , they still have wire -lrb- from rear receiver to speaker -rrb- ... but still ... worth it . I live in a ranch house and have use these at both end of the house -lrb- about 55ft from the receiver -rrb- and the sound be still pretty good . I like these speaker mostly because we entertain a great deal . this provide we the flexibility to connect a ipod and listen in both the living room and kitchen . then on movie night , they return to the living room . just a add bonus to a system like this . the Bad : - proprietary speaker connection , so forget about swap out Sony speaker with a better ... say ... center channel speaker . what you get in the box be the one you have to use . - small sound ... relatively . Let 's face it ; while bigger be not always better ... in the speaker world be do make a difference . I be no audiophile , but this system will leave you want if you be look for uniform low across the whole field . all bass originate in the subwoofer and the other speaker sound a bit under-powered , cover only the high and high-mid range of the spectrum . now the caveat : if this system be for watch bluray and tv on a casual basis , it be a very solid system . if you watch a movie a night and really like to immerse yourself in sound ... you should be think component system . overall , I would recommend this system to anyone who be look for the versatility of a wireless compatible htib . I enjoy that the whole setup take no more than 10 minute and that the overall picture and sound quality be on the higher end -lrb- for what it be -rrb- . it will never compete with a purpose build custom system . if that be what you be look for , this be not a substitute . if you be goal be to purchase a solid htib with wireless rear channel , this product be a great choice . +836 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 my system be manufacture in November of 2010 and I do not notice any sound issue or any other issue as of yet ! no WHISTLING or HISSING here !! a MUST buy ! +307 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 dear norcent company i boght a norcet dvd player , it be on clearance and it come with no remote control so i realy need a remote control its dp1800 please let I know how to get one thank you . +507 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I have own this product for 14 month and it be have no display for a month and a half . the display just go blank just after the warranty go out -lrb- 12 month -rrb- I buy this system for a nice little sound system for limited use but it be a pig . the remote be a cf with no easy way to get from here to there . get the dvd 's out be a pain too the thing either spit they all out so you can not any but the top one out or you have to guess as to which slot be empty . now it be go to cost I 1\/3 of the purchase price to fix something I barely use . it work but you have to guess as to what the thing be do and with the miserably put together remote ... be just suck ... I replace a cheap Sony unit for this . . bad move ! Zero star +31 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 beware of this product , as the dvd player will stop work whenever you least expect it . Stay away from Magavox for quality product ! +36 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I do not buy mine on amazon but pay 1\/2 the price at radio shack though . it be awesome . I do not know about the dt stuff but my movie , directv , music and etc sound awesome . I be glad I purchase this system . I have have it nearly a year and I love it . I will never get rid of it unless I want more wattage but at the present time 200 watt of power be excellent !! +243 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 there be plenty of good review here , so I would only add that this Onkyo be more than powerful for BIG room . I have it on a 17x34 foot -lrb- 5x10 meter -rrb- room , and it sound perfectly , so , unless you be some kind of king , it should be enough . +421 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 when I go to buy a new Amplifier\/Dvd\/Speaker setup for my room , I figure on have to buy serperate unit to get the spec I want , ie . progressive scan , 400 watt or so total power , DTS , etc. . I see this unit on display and be impressed , I be previously unaware that these feature could all be have in one package , let alone for the -lrb- money -rrb- that I spend on it . the initial setup go over fairly smoothly , with a very handy user 's manual . I have the main unit and all of the speaker set up with my satellite tv and ps2 in a little over a hour . the quality of the part be impressive at the low price range , the part be solid and attractive , and the speaker be clear and distortion free , even at maximum power . although my analog tv be not compatible with the progressive scan capability of the player , the picture be clear as can be and I look forward to enjoy progressive scan with the purchase of a hdtv . the include speaker play very well , thay have quite a lot of depth , and reproduce very true sound . they play well at all sound level , although it would be nice if the amp drive they a little harder . it play plenty loud for most people in a small to midsized room , but I go by the adage `` more be always better ! '' the subwoofer to play very well , it rumble well and sound remarkably tight for a ported woofer . 180 watt make alot of sound here . all in all , I would not hesitate to recommend this setup to anyone seek to add a home theater system to there house with relative ease , although for the true audiophile , a component setup be a better choice . +228 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I be really please with this system . I buy this for a office in my house so I be look for something small , cheap and high quality . there be a combination that you do not find often . you certainly do here though . the receiver itself be quite small as be the speaker . setup be very easy . each speaker cable have a color code connector so it be pretty hard to get wrong . the length of cable for the front 3 speaker be fine though I have to add some extra for the rear speaker . the main selling point for I be the fact that this unit have 3 hdmus in . it allow I to connect my cable box , Mac Mini and match Sony Blu Ray player and switch between they very easily . I find no other system in this price range that have the diverse in and out that this have . one thing that concern I be whether or not the remote code would work with my Verizon Fios box . none of the build in Sony code work , but the auto scan feature find a matching code pretty quickly and it work great . it so nice to only have to use one remote 95 % of the time . I be pleasantly surprise by the sound of this system . I be not say it be go to please the serious audiophile out there , but for its give purpose , it be excellent . I would actually say that the surround decoding be supperior to the far more expensive system I have attach to my primary tv setup . the only knock I can give this thing be that it have very few physical button or knob . almost everything have to be do with the remote . this , in and of itself , be fine . it make setup a bit of a headache though . there be lot of drill through menu to find what you be look for . you should only need to do this once though and the menu be logically organize - just time consume to sift through . overall , for $ 199 ship , I really could not be happier . I would recommend this system to anyone . it would even work fine as a primary system as long as you understand that its not that $ 1000 system you have have you eye on . +861 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 just purchase it yesterday , this be we first ht experience . we be thrill by the surround sound so far , I be in the process of test all option , will update the review as well as star rating as I see more . so far , the pro be : 1 -rrb- excellent surround sound 2 -rrb- special hbass for additional bass be awesome 3 -rrb- play dvd , cd , mp3 very well 4 -rrb- interfaced quickly to my Philips tv , so can use the same remote for tv too . now can watch tv shows\/movies on home theater ! 5 -rrb- set-up with manual be quick and easy 6 -rrb- aesthetically my wife love the tower-front speaker 7 -rrb- 5-disc changer be such that you can put cds\/dvds in the unoccupied tray without interruption current cd\/dvd play . so far , the con be : 1 -rrb- do not play mpeg 2 -rrb- do not play vcd burn with divx 3 -rrb- remote have a gazillion option , will take time to master it ! 4 -rrb- Speaker wire which come with the HT be not great , will definitely need replacement down the line . New addition : pro 1 -rrb- Plays jpeg very well , it scan through you datum disc and display all jpeg file as a slideshow . file not recognize be skip . use `` playlist '' on the remote , be like use window explorer on the tv screen for select specific file . +159 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I be look for better sound from my dvd . discard component system because of the size . I have a Pioneer DV 414 and love its image , superior to other dvd brand in my opinion . so it be natural that I develop some brand loyalty . the system that bring my attention to this category -lrb- home Theater in a Box -rrb- be a Sony DAV s300 . lovely , nice sound , but I want something with more fidelity to subtlety and a richer , punchier bass . after some research , I stick on the htz 55dv . pro - full featured -lrb- dt , dd 5.1 -rrb- ; AM\/FM Tuner ; play cd , cdr , cdrw , vcd and , of course , dvd ; you can control each speaker 's level to fine-tune the system to you room ; very clever design with the display\/RC sensor separate from the dvd player and the power amp inside the subwoofer ; image be even better than with my previous dv 414 ; sound be rich , crisp , very detailed -lrb- depend on the dvd of course -rrb- ; the subwoofer hold mortar explosion from save private Ryan , the Harley Davidson sound from t2 - the Ultimate Edition dvd and the Tyranossaurus Rex roar from jurassic park with aplomb ; small footprint from each system part ; fast load , menu navigation be also the fastest I have experience as be chapter change ; have more feature than you may ever need but you can leave they behind without any problem if you do not plan to use they ; simple to install ; have bass\/treble adjustment that work with dd 5.1 and DTS ; excellent value for money . con - the remote be awful , as be the dv 414 's , but you can always get a `` universal '' ; Pioneer have not learn to make its manual look as easy to read as they product be easy to enjoy . I be really in honeymoon with this system -lrb- more than a month -rrb- . I even get use to its upside down remote . if you be look for better sound , maybe better image -lrb- do not know which dvd you have -rrb- , a nice clever design with a small footprint , faster load and navigate through you dvd , I can only say just do it . if it be more expensive , it would still be a good buy . it be much more than a `` All-In-One '' . take a look at any showroom , but be aware that you may be very disappointed if the sale person do not know how to use\/tune it . also have in mind that it be design for small to medium size room . if you room be big and you like it loud , look for a component system . +512 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 System develop a `` pop '' & `` crackling '' sound and would shut itself down . try change cable , clean inside reciever , this do not help . would work for maybe 10 min and POP & Crack and shut itself down . pay almost $ 1000.00 for something I can not use . Onkyo will not return email . extremely bad customer Service !! +863 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 buy for and with my JVC 56 '' hd-ilum -lrb- jvc hd-56g886 ... see my review -rrb- rear projector big screen tv , I be look for space saving speaker to fit into a crowded family room ; and not have a large budget - rule out buy a component system that I think be necessary to give I the sound clarity I want . the front speaker on pole fit very nicely behind my JVC HD 56 '' tv set . the center channel speaker sit quite nicely on top of the tv screen - give great clarity on speak word - often muffle on other system . the rear speaker on pole -lrb- all speaker be detachable and can be wall mount -rrb- with diffuser top for room sound deflection work well with the informal decor in we family room . the speaker color and stand be the same silver\/plastic color as the tv set . JVC have a `` Smart Setup '' feature - as simple as clap you hand in the viewing\/listening area use a build in computer to determine sound delay - front to back and side to side between channel ... WOW !!!!! the 5 dvd player handle all kind of input - include CD , mp3 and dvd 's from most source . the 5 disk changer be difficult to load if put underneath the giant screen tv . it would be best place next to the set in a cabinet or shelf at about the 4-5 foot level for easier handling of the 5 dvd tray of the unit . the remote allow all function to be handle . my only disappointment -lrb- not surprisingly -rrb- be the 6 '' sub-woofer . the bass be good - not earthshaking - have not have any flatten out of low note ... the JVC thc6 have overall exceed my expectation from a `` box '' all in one home Theater unit . Works well for the price . have all the feature you need . speaker fit into most room with either pole or wall mount . good center channel sound for movie or tv dialog . only place to go up from here be a component unit for about twice the price . +331 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 it should be obvious to anyone that be read these post that this unit design be defective . around a month into ownership , my unit become unresponsive , no stop , pause , ff or eject dvd 's . the remedy be to unplug for a few minute , reset and try again . finally return for a different product . +597 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be one of the best electronic purchase I have make since my Smart Tv !! this be a great system . for a little over $ 300 , it really sound amazing . I be very happy with it . I also purchase the speaker stand which make the product really stand out and look classy . I love it !! highly recommend it !!! +667 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 do not buy this unit . there be a problem with it over heating and cause a loud poping sound after a couple hour of use . I talk with Panasonic about this and they will not admit to the problem , however , you can find several other people that have have the same problem on the net . when ask for replacement unit , I be tell that I would have to take it to my local repair center to have a tech look at the unit . this unit be still under warrenty and it be go to take several day for the unit to be repair . no sound or dvd while this take place . I will never buy another Panasonic unit again , to bad because this be the best unit I find on the market . Guess next time I 'll pay the extra money and get a Sony ! at least they care about they customer . +65 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I buy this unit and i be surprised find out that it have a great audio , nice bass , however it lack treble and bass control . I have to replace the unit due to problem with the power unit a week after I purchase it , now afer 3 month it skip some dvd 's during playback . also , the fan make alot of noise for its size . +480 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 if anyone know how to connect a pc to this receiver , then let I know ... there be only 2 input -lrb- one analog -rrb- and one supposedly digital , but the digital optical imput will not connect into my pc spdif for sound , so I can not run sound from a pc through the receiver . what be worse be that the speaker be all run off the power subwooffer , so it only will support this receiver ... really upset with this purchase consider they never provide a upgrade patch ... +445 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I buy this system base on previous review for a client who be look for something a little more than just a vanilla setup . I like the idea of ARC technology which allow both the Sony Bravia tv and the bdv-f7 to simplify the control of the system through the `` HDMI Control '' feature . once the system be hook up it seem to work well , however as I be train the client , I notice the input on the bdv-f7 would not switch properly when the client change the input on she tv . the issue get worse and finally stop work altogether . I be currently work with tech support to determine a solution . in addition to the switching issue , the client also complain that the sound be muddy and muted sound . sound be virtually inaudible at the mid volume mark and push the volume close to max result in a awful blaring effect . I have my own a\/v business for three year and be quite capable with troubleshoot issue like these but I simply could not improve the sound . the sound quality be simply unacceptable . ultimately these problem would have severely damage my reputation have I not insist on place customer service above all else and be completely honest with the client . I have spend far too long work on this job . chalk it up to my fault for not return the item at the first sign of any issue . I be 100 % disappoint by this product . it be now up to Sony 's customer service to pull a rabbit out of its hat . something which likely will not happen give the widespread lack of customer service most company exhibit these day . my advice to you potential buyer be : go ahead and purchase the unit . if you see a problem right off the bat , return the item . Crutchfield -lrb- which be where the item be originally purchase -rrb- should not , in any way , be to blame for the poor review of this product . +460 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 good value for a wireless rear speaker system . have good sounnd . only problem be a hum when the system sound pause from the center speaker . +561 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 provide cable could be longer , end up reuse some of the cable of my old system and tie they to the new cable because of the proprietary end . +681 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 save yourself the headcahe , find another system . all movie I have try to view on this sysyem have shut down midway . think that all my movie -lrb- which continue to play on my other dvd player -rrb- be either dirty or scratch , I have buy new movie with the same annoying result . too late for I to return this thing that I buy in 1\/07 . +320 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 Sony 's lack quality . this system never switch off , keep flash `` Standby '' . I have see this happen every shop I visit . still these shop sell these equipment !! and more over , this be my third bad experience from Sony . 1 . Wega TV - Broke in two day 2 . Home Theater - Broke in week 3 . Sony dsc-p3 digital camera - came defective -lrb- lens will not pop out -rrb- . all these break within a matter of first day or in a week . I have decide not to purchase any more Sony equipments\/gadets unless really improve they quality . I sell this item and purchase Onkyo -lrb- sr502b -rrb- \/ bose -lrb- am6 -rrb- combination . wow . . what a quality and sound !! +952 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 my husband and I buy a system that be faulty and return it . we replace it with this unit and be so happy ! this system sound amazing -lrb- in the small , one bedroom apartment -rrb- and look super sleek . it be easy to install and have a lot of extra feature that be a bonus . we have be very happy with this system . +918 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 Easy setup Love the Pandora and streaming Netflix Bluray be incredible highly recommend +789 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 what a great value ! I have be search for just what this unit offer ; a compact dvd player with the capacity for CD , mp3 , plus AM&FM; , include speaker , all for a attractive price . I do not want all of the speaker and wire associate with `` home theater in a box '' , but essentially want all of the feature they offer in a small stereo package without the expense of a true component system . this be a great main system for those of we who be not true audiophile , and may even be a good bedroom system for they as well . my only complaint be that I can not get the volume sufficiently high , but that be because I be use it in a large living room , a task for which it be not design . good job Panasonic ! +373 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 this system have a easy set up it only take I about 10 minute , maybe less . the length of the speaker wire be just right for my studio and put out good sound . one draw back be the cord , each have one black side and then a different color run through the whole wire . it would not have be so bad if only the first inch of so of the wire be such but now it make the wire pretty obvious if there be not a way to place they discreetly . overall a great product , but have one serious down fall for I and that be the blu-ray player . it take a while to load and then it would occasionally drop the sound for a quick second . not noticible at first but happen more frequently . then finally no sound at all . the blu-ray would freeze try to load a dvd and then it be blinking pink and the home screen which lead to a solid pink screen . the AUX source work fine and put out great sound still , so it be solely the blu-ray player that be problematic . so , if all you need be great sound from you AUX source this be a great buy . but since I know we want the whole system I would not recommend this product . the return for I be super simple . repack the system in the box it come in , print the UPS label from return Center , place the return paper in box , and drop off at a UPS location . Got to the Returns Center in a week and reimbursement notice in the same day . +548 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I get it as a gift a few month ago and , at first , everything be fine . then it start freezing on one dvd after another . it begin with lotr , then the Princess Bride , then occasionally on lotr : tt and now on HBO 's band of brother . the dvd play without a problem on other dvd player . the system still have a few month of warranty leave so I will try talk to Samsung . but give some of the online comment I have read , it appear to I they will want I to ship , at my expense , a 55lb dvd player . +959 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I get this system about eight month ago and I have be very pleased with it . I do have a few complaint about it , however . my first complaint be the horrible remote , which never become intuitive no matter how much you use it . the chapter skip button and the fast forward button be one in the same . to fast forward you have to hold the chapter skip button for a few seconds . if you do not hold it long enough , you end up skip a chapter when you simply want to fast forward . the fast forwarding , however , be very good , allow up to 32x normal play speed . another complaint I have be the optical input . I have read that the sound lag behind the video , and I be dismayed to discover it be true . it can be very severe , like a couple of seconds . then I discover a way to correct it . all you have to do be pause and unpause the input source , and they will be synch . I test this by connect my ps2 and use it as a dvd player . the Samsung lose synch when start a movie or skip chapter , but after one pause and unpause of the ps2 , remain perfectly synchronize . another complaint I have be that the rear channel sound during Dolby ProLogic II surround playback be too low in volume . you can edit the sound , though , to increase the volume to the rear speaker , and the unit remember these value after it be turn off . I also find the Dolby Prologic II mode to be useless for anything but video game -lrb- which be what I use it for - and it be great -rrb- . it make music and tv sound like crap , so do not go out of you way to get Dolby Prologic II support if you do not intend to use it for gaming . even though I have some complaint about this system , I be still glad that I buy it , especially for the price that I pay ; however , a lot have change in the past eight month and many other player be offer similar feature in this price range . this player be good , but it be not so good that you would not want to seriously investigate other buy option . +930 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I have be a long-time fan of Sony , so it be my first choice when I begin look for a ht system . I buy the 740 and set it up with little trouble - love the compact size of the satellite speaker . i crank it up and the disappointment begin . even with the power sub turn up full , the bass response be dismal , and leave it on full produce a hiss . the sound be send heavily -lrb- it sound like 60 % - 70 % -rrb- to the center channel speaker , which greatly reduce the surround effect . you be also very limit in you ability to redirect sound or set level for the surround speaker ; essentially you set they level by set they distance from the viewer . the catch be that the reciever limit the range of distance you can set . if you set the front speaker at 15 ' , you can not set the rear speaker at 5 ' . basically all distance must be within 5 ' of each other , which keep all speaker level about the same . I wind up hear very little out of the rear channel speaker , even when play cd . when I choose one of the music setting , like jazz , concert or hall , the center channel problem be avoid , because it would not be utilize , but the sound out of the other speaker be tinny and flat . i give the system 2 1\/2 month to win I over . in the end , I break the ladder back out , take the whole system down , and return it to the store . I know I have not pay a ton for this system , but I expect more than I get . I find it mediocre at best . +198 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 at $ 149.99 -lrb- at time of purchase -rrb- I be not count on much more than a fair home entertainment system . it take about 1\/2 hour to set up mainly due to have to move other item around in the living room to accomodate the wiring . the one page quick setup guide be first rate . everything be clearly marked and this make set the unit up a ` no effort ' proposition . the surround sound wiring be approximately twenty foot . the front and center speaker approximately ten foot . the sub-woofer have the shortest set of wire , but this be moot since it be almost impossible to tell where that low a base be come from . each small speaker also include a smartly design wall bracket . the on screen menu take a bit of get use to , but be well worth the effort as they expand the sound quaiity in many different way . the AM\/FM radio be very easy to program with 50 preset for each band . the dvd player automatically detect disk format so there be no need to tell the unit if you be use dvd , CD , CD-R , CD-RW , etc. . it simply ` know . ' I have also hook the tv audio out to the aux1 port so now broadcast channel can be hear through the unit . the aux2 port -lrb- like the aux1 port -rrb- will accomodate input via RCA type jack . the Video in be via rca or s-video jack . dvd control be also very well represent with memory playback , multiple playback speed , angle , etc. . sub-titling be very easy to turn on and off and be instantaneous . in fact the unit respond instantly to all remote command unlike many early unit . the range of the five small speaker and the sub-woofer be astounding . I will certainly buy Norcent again in the future . +136 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 i buy the home theater system about a month ago to go with my sony 42 '' hdtv . i like most thing about the system with the exception of a few . it take a while for tv sound to come through the speaker . you turn the unit and the tv on and maybe like 5 seconds later sound come out of the speaker . another issue that i notice be that there be also a delay from when you press the disc tray to open and when it actually do . this elay be maybe only a few seconds but still annoying . it take I a while to figure out how to get the tv to play sound at of all the speaker . i be tell by several people this be not even possible . -lrb- not true -rrb- you need to have the mode in pro logic and then it will work . make sure to wait a second because you may switch the mode and not hear anything but the delay cause it to take a while to kick in . i find the sound to be much cleaner when the tv speaker be turn off and just the surround sound put out the sound . some great thing about the sytem be just the sheer intensity of sound . watch dvd 's be great especially if you neighbor be cool . this unit also have the ability to play mp3 and regular cd 's . it be also hdmi compatable which i guess be the newest technology . the problem with hdmus be that the cord be one way only . that be to say that if you hook the hdmus cord up from the back of the tv to the back of the dvd player you will only get the media put into the player to be transfer to the tv . so if you want to watch a dvd you will have all of the benefit of the hdmus technology -lrb- singular cable , uncompressed signal , etc. -rrb- the dvd player will transfer a superior image to you tv . the problem be when you just want to watch tv . there be no way that you can transfer from the tv through the cable through the dvd player and out to you speaker so you stick use rca output instead . hdmus be still worth it for what it do to you dvd 's but do not pay over $ 25 buck for you cord . i pay $ 130 for one that i quickly return when i learn that it be only useful when watch dvd 's . for $ 20 buck i think it be still worth it and they sell they for that much or less . i love the speker because they swivel and can be mount on a wall or stand on a base . 1000 watt push out a lot of sound but not overpower when you do not want it to be . also with a sony tv i have to use 2 remote which i hate even though in the instruction for both there be supposedly a way to do everything off either remote . -lrb- i could not do it and would love for someone to tell I how -rrb- also have the ability to test each speaker and other cool feature like a sound delay to exactly match the picture when there be a need to . i have a samsung tv but i do not like it or i would have keep the brand the same . samsung be suprior to sony when it come to audio . most other brand beat out sony in the audio arena . someone help I fix my multiple remote issue . +240 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 Update : just pair up these speaker with the Onkyo ht-rc370 w \/ 4 Ohms setting and all I can say be WOW ! now I can feel the true power of these speaker . simply amazing ! I be get this set for the satellite speaker . the sub that come with it be fine . the receiver do not have HDMI so I will definitely upgrade that . so far I have try dvd , bluray , music cd , ps3 game -lrb- btw , killzone3 surround be crazy ! -rrb- , and karaoke -lrb- I have my own personal minus studio ... hehe -rrb- . the SOUND be SO CLEAR ! I will purchase the 7.1 system to have extra speaker just in case . once these speaker run out , they be go forever . sl do not do home theater anymore . but I believe they still do concert hall . BTW , thank you av-express for the fast shipping ! now I just want to re-watch all my favorite movie . I believe they be `` hidden gem '' speaker because you be get concert hall , studio , etc. , quality speaker for small phenomenal cost . at least for a entry level home theater system , not sure what can beat this for the price . if you know another set of home theater system that be price similar to this which you think be high quality , please comment . thanks in advance . +3 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 my parent recently buy this for I and it rock !!! it only take my dad a hour or so to set it all up and hook my exist tv , VCR , and satellite receiver to the system . the remote control be easy to use , the sound be awesome and the speaker be great ! I especially like the speaker stand , cuz I didnt have to spend additional money on stand , plus the basis be heavy so the speaker will not fall over and they look really cool . the dvd player play all my dvd , cd and cd-r too . I be very satisfied with this product . +595 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 the sound on this system be really fantastic for the price , but I have have the same experience as the other reviewer . the dvd skip constantly , and Phillips be absolutely no help in fix the problem . Amazon have be great and have offer to give a 50 % credit , but Phillips insist that I send -lrb- at my own expense -rrb- the machine to they and then wait 4 + week to have a ` possibly ' refurbish unit . I be quite disappointed with Phillips and its lack of customer service . +977 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be not mean to be use in a auditorium so it be not , as other have describe , huge sound . but for a family room where I have it connect to the tv it be perfect ... place speaker as illustrate in the manual but do not hang they ... front three sit with the tv back two at each of we chair . I have to turn the sound down to keep it from drive we out of the room . I do not understand how anyone could say there be not enough power unless they be try to use this they in a huge room . they be loud enough the rear speaker will startle we on on occasion of a voice that be loud and for music it really show what it can do . we love it ... and the price can not be beat . rca do this one right . +383 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I have have this system for a year , and just can not convince myself I be happy with it . it seem to have different volume range with dvd , cd , and feed from hdtv . so while it will rattle the window play a dvd , I can hardly get the gain loud enough to hear quiet dialog on some tv program . the CD reproduction be tinny and not acceptable for music listening . as far as surround sound ... none that I can tell . do not compare with the 5.1 that I cobble together with a amp and some old speaker . so if you just want to play you dvd loud in a small room , this unit look good and provide a great picture . but if you be look for a home theater system , dream on . +627 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I do not know why so many people have issue with this system . it still work excellent to this day , I have a optical audio setup with my xbox slim and hd sony and they all work beautifully in concert . the subwoofer be powerful and the speaker be also pretty powerful . there have be no issue with the disc ejection system at all . +449 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 great system , and even better price . have it a year now and work excellently ; once you learn which equalizer configuration be best for dvd\/music , etc. bass could be a little more pronounced ... but great power !! all in all , a excellent system +244 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I have only use this product for a short time , but be irritated by the fact that it do not play many dvd 's straight from the box . the `` not format for this region '' problem can be fix by call the service number for zenith product on the back of the owner manual . the problem be a simple setting that the manual do not cover . it take only a minute to fix once connect with the help people . after the fix , the product work great , but I must give rating of 3 because of the dvd screw up . otherwise I would give the product a 4 or 5 for ease of setup and use and it perform the way I would expect a lower cost unit to perform . if it do not play some dvd 's , call the number ! +972 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I get this home Theater System for Christmas and so far it be really good . the sound from this system be awesome . I have a bose system before this one and it be just as good for a lot less . the only two problem i have with it be 1 -rrb- the 2 rear speaker hiss all the time ... just make sure they be not near you head and you do not hear it . 2 -rrb- and sometimes it have a hard time read dvd 's +785 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 the 5 CD changer refuse to close after 1 year two week . I eventually have to forcefully push cd tray # 1 back in and just use tray 2-5 . -lrb- yes I know you be not suppose to force it back in , but I run out of option . -rrb- after two more week the led display go out . all I can use it for now be sound . the lack of a display make its really hard to tell what mode you be in or how loud the speaker be . look for a replacement . +962 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 the picture they have be wrong , if you enter the product on sony 's website , they have the correct picture . it look better than the one in amazon 's picture . a lot of people complain about the wire length . for I , I have the reciever towards the center of my room , and the rear speaker wire be more than long enough . the front speaker wire be almost too short , but I make it work , and the subwoofer wire length be perfect . for my bedroom , this be more than adequate . I have a home theater setup with a projector and this sound system . the bass be enough too shake my room , and hear from outside . the surround work great , and the color code speaker wiring be very easy to set up , as I be only 13 , and have no problem . I have it hook up to a xbox via optical audio cable , and I test it out with 5.1 surround sound netflix movie , as well as Modern Warfare 3 , and it sound amazing . you can feel all the shake and rumble like you really in the game ! -lrb- or movie -rrb- . absoloutely worth the 185 $ +135 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I live in a loft so I can not be run wire all over the place . this deliver great sound , the subwoofer give fine in depth detail without overpower the other speaker . there be many option available to tweak the sound as well as add other speaker if you want to make it a 5.1 system . +370 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 after read some of the review I have decide it be not just a problem with mine . I have 2 computer and x-box connect to my wirele network and have no prolem but can not get this system to work . it will recognize my network . I get it to connect once , create a tv@internet id , download upgrade , but then would not open the app . tell I it could not connect due to interference . -lrb- other network connect device be not on -rrb- it would then revert to the wire setting . I reset the device several time and redo the set-up . sometimes it see the network but will not connect . after 2 week of work with it I be take it back ! +676 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 the MX 966 package have a lot of option . I love the reality that it enable I to eliminate my old large bulky speaker -lrb- enough space for two more chair -rrb- , along with my AM\/FM Tuner and Equalizer . with all the connector in the back , it tie in my dvd changer , CD changer , Cassette Deck , turn Table , satellite system , and VCR while allow I switch to any component from one source . while watch dvd I be impress with the sound from the `` optical '' audio hook-up . it rock ! with 5 satelite speaker of 100 watt each , I never need to go above # 25 on the volume knob , which go to 50 -lrb- my kid tell I I be hard of hearing -rrb- . the `` powered sub-woofer '' have 100 watt also and be impressive on the low bass noise . it will rattle you window if so desire ! over all , this be a great update to any sound system for this kind of cash ! +309 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I be not a `` reference '' quality audiophile , but I have ear and know what I like and have spend a unhealthy amount of time listen to music on many different type of system , include a $ 100k system -lrb- that , unfortunately , be not mine -rrb- . there be no need to compare these to anything else . yes , there be many good speaker out there , but the simple fact be that these speaker be amazing for the price . I happen to get they on a scream `` black Friday '' deal , but , now that I have listen to they while play lossless -lrb- mlp -rrb- high-re DVD-Audio in 5.1 surround with a very good quality player -lrb- oppo bdp-93 -rrb- , I be stunned at the quality for the money and would happily pay much more for these speaker . I use they in a small room -lrb- one reason for choose this set of speaker -rrb- with the Oppo bdp-93 and a Marantz NR 1402 . the dvd-a mention above be King Crimson 's 5.1 mlp mix of `` discipline , '' which be nothing short of stunning . in other word , by any measure of `` audiophile '' quality equipment , my system be dirt cheap and not particularly high quality -lrb- the Oppo except -rrb- , yet all of these superlative apply wholeheartedly . +701 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 about four month after buy this product , it quit work . I still get sound , but no picture . Toshiba basically say its out of warranty , call a repair place . the repair place want a minimum of $ 125 with no guarantee they can fix it , they actually advise I to toss it and buy a better one ! so , my Amazon purchase of $ 219 get I viewing of about 10 dvd and now its a - rather crummy - cd player . I think that the speaker be actually pretty poor quality , but figure they would do for movie , I certainly would not listen to quality music on they . these system seem to be fail about 20 % of the time so , if you feel lucky , go ahead and buy , but remember that if you be in the 20 % you be basically out you entire purchase price . I will never buy another Toshiba product , or any other manufacturer that only carry a lousy 90 day warranty . +177 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I get this system for Father 's day . it take about two hour to set up and figure out the wiring diagram -lrb- the owner manual could be better -rrb- . I also add a rca 5 disk CD Player . I hit the power , put in a cd and about blow the plaster off the wall ! the sound be awesome and the clarity perfect . I recommend this system to anyone look for a system that have high end feature at a entry level price . you may want to get one soon though as it may be a discontinue model . ... +466 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 good overall player with 1 limitation . . this be my second or third one of these . . if you know you will probably be buy a ` real ' home theater system in a year . . or , if you have find a really good deal on it . . then go ahead and grab it . . BUT . . do keep in mind . . it will probably only last you about a year before the dvd part of it wear out . . +267 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I could write a long review but read Pratt 's 3 star review , it be spot on the only difference be I give it one less star . the sound be only slightly better than my tv speaker . +690 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 as previous note to Tivo user , this do not work with TIVO 3 series properly -lrb- and maybe other Tivo system -rrb- . when Tivo be connect through HDMI , it have a tendancy to force Tivo to switch to 720p -lrb- even if you specify it to be fix at 1080i in Tivo itself -rrb- . this seem to be a rampant problem with Yamaha receiver and Tivo . I be go to blame this on Tivo as it be do this itself , even when you tell it to fix itself at 1080i . only solution be to go from Tivo to tv and use optical out from tv to receiver . I find the subwoofer to be plenty powerful and offer cinematic bass but the speaker be so tiny have its limit . while the speaker get loud enough there be a lack of fullness to the sound due to the speaker be only 1.5 '' in height . I use to have a onkyo 5.1 system with much larger speaker and there be a noticeable difference . I have to turn it louder to than I usually like to to hear the sound effect . I do not find there be much separation from the sound come from the speaker either . the left and right speaker be less than 30 '' apart and that have something to do with it . I would say I be disappointed but this be not unexpected . it be like date a hot girl only to find the makeup hide she real face and have fake boob . that be say , this be a nice solution for people who want better sound but do not want all the hassle of a true surround system . it will satisfy a lot of people but it will disappoint other . be this system worth it at over $ 300 ? I would say no , but under $ 300 it be a keeper since the receiver\/subwoofer combination be a real space saver . so I intend on keep this . I get a September 2010 build -lrb- this sit long on the shelf unsold ! -rrb- and it already have the 3d pass-through firmware install . 3d pass through on my PS3 fine , although you have to make sure you ps3 be use automatic display output . if you have a tv with hdmus arc , it do not work with the receiver as this model be not arc capable . I would like to note that the receiver itself have leave , center , right speaker wire connection -lrb- no rear surround connection -rrb- . it be possible to hook up separate left , center , and right speaker if you should decide that the soundbar do not meet you need . the receiver itself have setting for this if you should decide to hook up different speaker . I be more than satisfy with the receiver\/woofer but I might replace the sound bar with larger speaker in the future . note that the newer model for this system do have larger left\/right speaker . the newer system also have usb input and headphone output . +845 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 2 I be a Sony fan but I buy ht-p50 because of it be a new product with great speaker design from Samsung . I like Samsung 's cell phone a lot so I give a chance and buy this from B&H; Photo Video store -lrb- www.bhphotovideo.com -rrb- in NY via online . I like the overall of the product such as sound output and again nice speaker design . but after two week later , when I turn it on from sleep-mode , I hear a loud noise from the back of the unit . I find out the noise be from cool fan -lrb- just like a pc but smaller size -rrb- . the noise be just like a old pc fan before it go bad . so I tap it lightly and the noise go away for a few seconds and then noise come back again . so I tap it again . this time the noise go away . remember , this unit be only two week old ! I never have bad experience with all of my Sony or Canon equipment . Poor quality control from Samsung ! I will never buy Samsung product again . do not have time to take it to authorized service dealer since I do not have time for this -lrb- put all into the box then drive 12 mile to the service center and leave it for several week ? -rrb- . no way ! I buy this to enjoy , not to spend money and then time to fix it . I will not buy Samsung again ! ever ! +289 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 i buy those speaker to get rid of my old 6 speaker system and i can be more pleased , the sound be natural and precise , excellent bass , for two speaker system and the acoustimass be a good way to get nice sound from the tv . plus a year warranty from bose cant get this deal better than this . the price be really good . +430 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 sound quality be what I need for my situation . however the base be to much for I and I can not find a way to turn it down , I have it all the way down in the setting and no change . speaker be good , easy to install would be perfect if i could turn the base down . +389 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 you really get you money 's worth with this setup . it be simple , easy to set up and even easier to use . my beef be that -lrb- perhaps because my unit be not work right -rrb- while it be advertise to decode DTS from DVDs , I could never get that function to work . instead of dt I get ... silence . well , maybe it be I . however , it be suppose to be a `` no-brainer '' setup , sooo ... +362 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 the speaker come well package . they sound great . later I will be add they sub since these speaker have turn out so good . +616 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I love this stereo . I be look for a small powerful stereo with a CD changer and the ability to connect a auxilliary audio source -lrb- XM MyFi -rrb- . the speaker have to be small enough to fit on my desktop and not look silly . I go to best buy and compare what they have in stock , and settle on this one , simply because it meet all of my criterion , plus the speaker have 3 separate driver - 4 '' woofer , 2-3\/8 '' mid , 1 '' ceramic tweeter . also , it can play virtually every format of music , which be great because I download ton of song and I hate have to convert they to . wav file from . mp3 . also , it can play dvd-audio and hdcd disc , both of which I have many of . plus , it can play dvd-video , and it have component video out , which I find amazing on such a small multi-tasking unit . I will probably never hook it up to a tv , but if I do , it be nice to know that I have that option . I manage to get it for $ 249.99 , which accord to some of the review I have read , be a steal at best buy . setup be a breeze - everything be color-code - and I be up and run in about 5 minute . the speaker fit perfectly on the desktop , and actually the wood veneer come pretty close to match the color of my desk . the main unit manage to fit into one of the cabinet in my desk , so all you see be the speaker . I be quite surprised at how good it sound . the high be exceptionally clear , which the 1 '' tweeter have alot to do with , and the bass be powerful and rich , which be amazing for 4 '' driver . I listen to a wide variety of music , from country to metal to techno to clasical , and everything in between , and I have spend the better part of 2 week play around with different cd to see if I could find a flaw in the sound . I still have not . I think the techno\/trance music be a especially good test for the speaker , because there be so much go on and all three driver be be test . so far , it sound amazing . the amp have yet to fade out at all with extended bass line or extremely hard bass hit . I have see a few negative comment on the bass output . I just do not get where those comment be come from . they must be people who like bass-heavy music and not true-sounding music . from my perspective , the music sound just the way it be intend to sound . however , if you be a bass-nut , the unit offer a sub pre-out , which be simply amazing on such a small unit . I do not think a external sub be need at all , but maybe somebody do . now , I say in the title that you must buy it for what it be intend . what I mean be that you should not buy this as a main home theater receiver . you will be very disappointed . I have a thx ultra2 certified onkyo and very high-end speaker for that purpose , and I would never recommend anything less . however , if you be like I , and look for a desktop or shelf system that sound great and maintain a small size , then this be perfect . also , I can see how I would have love to have this when I first go to college . small size , powerful sound , the ability to be a dvd player , all at a relatively cheap price . Perfect for any dorm room . I remember there be people who have Aiwa shelf system that be twice as expensive and twice and large that produce half the sound quality , and they still have to have a separate dvd player . I recommend this to anybody whose need match the criterion I have lay out . I could not be happier . if you want a home theater system , do yourself a favor and buy the best receiver and speaker combo you can afford , not a mini shelf system . +141 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 consider the bargain we get this for , I be very happy with the result . it be easy to get home , very easy to set up . the include mount material be all we need to keep everything look good around the living room . my only major complaint so far be that the video and audio seem a little out of sync on some channel that I never notice before we hook up this unit . +879 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 excellent system ... powerful ... enough input and output -lrb- include hdmus -rrb- ... work very well with Samsung plasma tv ... order with wireless rear speaker module ... I highly recommend it and would purchase it again !! +429 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 the Vizio 5.1 surround Sound Home Theater with Wireless Subwoofer be fantastic ! Amazon ship within 5 day . set up take less than a hour , and I take my time to redo my entertainment center at the same time . turn it on , and begin hear sound I have never hear before . make everything sound like you be at the movie . the subwoofer be amazing . you can feel the room vibrate . Wireless be synce at the factory and the system connected instantly . no problem at all with lead indicator . I be go back and watch old movie just to hear they . do not wait . you 'll be miss so much ! this be a great deal on the only wireless home theater sysem to date . a + so , 2 month later and the system continue to work flawlessly . this be one of the best purchase I have ever make . +44 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 for year I have avoid panasonic -lrb- bad previous history with the company 's product -rrb- , but this unit win I back . I be in the market for a small stereo system for my home gym room . I do not want something overly boomy with thump bass , or the opposite - no bass . I also be very picky with my sound . so there begin my search . i know I have to get just the right one to have as close to perfect sound reproduction as possible . I look at Sony 's offering and like they , except for the lack of ability to customize the sound -lrb- to tweak it to perfection -rrb- . one thing I absolutely hate be preset eq setting . they be a fine start point , but I have yet to find any good preset eq -lrb- except none or clear perhaps -rrb- . this stereo have the option to have manual sound equalizer -lrb- bass and treble control -rrb- ... nice touch ! when I hear this unit , I think the sound be full , even and gorgeous ! not overly boomy\/bassy , but very accurate sound reproduction . this could possibly be due to the 4 wire connect each speaker to the stereo system -lrb- a separate pair each for the tweater and the woofer in each speaker -rrb- . the true selling point of this unit be the fact it have a 5 cd\/dvd changer ! component output , digital out for expansion , a AUX input , mp3\/wma playback , the list go on and on . after find the sound quality I want , it be time for consider look and this unit be exquisite ! the wood -lrb- wood-like -rrb- cabinet be a rich warm color and the silver speaker surround be gorgeous . I have leave the speaker grill off , and the entire set look wonderful . dvd playback have great quality , nice color , etc - I have it hook up to a lcd tv which hang in that room . ... and sure , the price sound expensive , but be not quality worth the price ? I have a feeling this will last I a long time -lrb- durability wise -rrb- . the only negative point I can find about this unit be the CD tray mechanism and the lack of control from the front . its nice , and I be sure very well thought-out and design -lrb- and have be use on all of the lesser panasonic micro stereo system -rrb- ... but the tray give a little too easily . I be gentle with my equipment and be sure I will not have problem , but seriously look at those tray before consider this unit for a household with child who might not be so gentle . the control be almost all from the remote , which I do not mind - but it make testing in the store a pain since there be no remote where I buy it ... the brush metal on the front and blue lighting effect make for a gorgeous unit . go listen to this at the store - I think you 'll really enjoy what you hear . Panasonic make a great one here ! +368 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I purchase these on sale more than a year ago from Amazon and they be amazing . I could not be more pleased with these speaker . I do not have a large room so for I this system be more than enough . I connect these speaker to my Denon avr 391 and when I be watch movie or play game the 5.1 be awesome ! I be not much of a technical guy when it come to sound but I know these speaker sure do not disappoint . +762 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 this system be definitely a good value for those want to add home theater in a small room . it be worth keep in mind that this system do not have as much power as higher-priced system , and the speaker and remote be make of a somewhat cheap-looking plastic . that say , it do a great job of fill the living room of my one-bedroom apartment . where this system fall short I think be in its ability to handle music on audio cd . for some reason , no matter which setting I try -lrb- regular stereo or tweaking it with Dolby pro Logic -rrb- audio cd sound flat and lackluster . the problem seem to be that the include front speaker be very small and do not do a good job handle the mid-range common in rock music . the subwoofer tend to dominate and create a muddy effect . I plan to replace the front speaker with a better set , but this be slightly complicate by the non-standard connector on the back of this system -lrb- a plug instead of the usual `` pincher '' -rrb- . the dvd player be first-rate . the picture quality be outstanding and I particularly like the quality of the picture when scanning -lrb- fast-forwarding -rrb- -- something which a lot of dvd player do not do well . set up and operation be also a real breeze . this system be much easier to use than some other that I have try . +978 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this be a great system . now , I be not a serious audiophile , I be kinda just a regular guy look for a good sound system . I read a ton of review for this and all say it be the best bang for the buck . it be 6.1 , not 5.1 , and the receiver have all the input you would ever want . it be well worth it I think to pay the extra one or two hundred dollar for Onkyo quality , the great receiver , and 6.1 rather than 5.1 . also , I get this from a site call onecall.com brand new for $ 475 no tax no shipping . that be by far the cheapest . Onecall.com be a authorized internet dealer on the Onkyo website so I be not too worried . +974 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 watch tv have never be the same after purchase this . we family just love the surround sound . you really feel like you out at the movie theater . highly recommend . +254 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I have have the KLH ha7000 for just about a year . I be in the middle of watch a dvd when the screen freeze . I have to take the system apart to get the dvd out and now it will not work at all . I turn it on and it say welcome . none of the other function work , so now I be stick with a almost $ 200 piece of junk ! do not buy this product , it be a piece of crap . I wish I have read other review before buy because the general consensus be , Crap . +76 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this system rock ! I be the type a person who spend $ 299.00 on earphone to have the sound from from my stereo -lrb- htib -rrb- match what come out of my mp3 player , and because when it come to earphone , I believe you usually get what you pay for . in short , I be a audiophile . those who be complain about some hissing noise from the system likely do not have the speaker hook up correctly . the speaker must be connect exactly as outline or you will have sound problem . hook the speaker to my Yamaha system be not nearly as exact . my yamaha system sound wonderful , and I never think that a system make by LG could rival it when it come to sound . the LG sound better . I buy the LG because my hdtv be a LG , but the system be surpass my expectation both for tv and movie watching and for all other audio type . +334 HomeTheaterSystem NEU 3 I expect more than what I get but this what I get for such little research it be a loud system except for the fact that only 2 of the 6 speaker work while play the radio +500 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 THIS VIZIO SOUNDBAR be very easy to SET up . the SOUND be terrific and I really like the FACT that the speaker be not very NOTICEABLE . the ONLY NEGATIVE I would give the system be the fact that the sub-woofer CAN NOT be turn off with the remote . it be a extra procedure to HAVE to turn the speaker off from the rear each time it be USED . +532 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 this unit be junk . after two - three week it develop a hum and then the sound would fade in and out . several month late I go to switch to a dvd and it give a loud hum and then go blank . will not work at all . absolute junk . do not buy this unit !!! +34 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 System work great the first 12 month ... then as other have state . . I start to have problem with the system reading cd and dvd . you could hear the system grind try to read the disc . then the real problem start ... my system will no longer play dvd ... but it will still read cd . I would recommend not purchase this system base upon this problem also be report by other . this be a honest review of my experience . +163 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 need a space-saving system with big sound ? buy this now !! Panasonic have do really well with this baby . the sound be excellent with both music and movie . and the system be pack with feature such as hdcd , highmat and jpeg decoder . unusually , mp3 disc sound great here , and my track be 160kbp !! oh , the tuner sound really good too . the system sound excellent even at low volume . so there be some merit to the not-too-tasteless bi-amp logo in the front . it be very nearly perfect but ... I briefly test dvd on the system but be use the supply cable for normal composite video , and the color be a bit muted . but I suspect the crappy cable be the demon here , and anyway when I get my own tv I 'll be use the component video output which should be much better . there be s-video output too . to nitpick further dvd be reset when the system go to standby , but luckily there be a memory function which be dead quick to use . the engineer be obviously on cheap drug when they make this oversight . but there be a 5 disc memory , yes this system be a 5-disc changer !! and lastly the remote , good luck if you have chunky finger heh heh heh ! Tips : the speaker cable length supply be miserly , consider get additional length , and do not worry the sound will not deteriorate . I have have to extend they by 4 metre with a different type and I buy cheapo , which mean a extra 16 metre for myself as the Panny be bi-wired - which probably account in part for the great sound . a pain but worth it . for music listening by all account play with the Equalizer but leave the Surround off , it be a bit too artificial . leave the equalizer on , even if leave on the flat Manual mode , the sound open up a bit . the Audio only mode make no audible difference , so leave it off and save you chunky finger ! the blue backlighting look nice but there be a dimmer if it get distractive . yes those engineer think of everything but leave a half-assed resume . for movie , by all account play with the Surround ! all in all this be a great system . and in the States it be a no-brain bargain . and do I mention the speaker look great !! take the grill off ! +829 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 three thing : 1 -rrb- there be no sound input , as other reviewer have point out . personally , I do not mind , as I have my VCR run through my home stereo system already . it would be nice if I could play my CD , tape , and record player through it , though . 2 -rrb- the default sound level be quite loud , but this can easily be adjust on the `` Preferences -rrb- Dynamics '' menu . you can only get to this menu if there be not a dvd in the player , though , which be just stupid . 3 -rrb- the unit I order come with the parental control setting on , and the default password give in the manual -lrb- `` 2001 '' -rrb- be incorrect . I hope that the tech support phone number will be able to help on Monday , otherwise I will have to send this back . +668 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 subwoofer and satellite speaker never work . three call to Vizio support be no help . with all the time I have waste try to get this to work , I could have buy a full price bose system . sorry , have to run and repackage everything to send it back . +283 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 this system overall be quite good , and a excellent value if you get a discount off the list price . the sound be good for both audio and dvd but the system have a few minor drawback that keep it from be a true find . I rate it about 4.3 star . I agree with some of the criticism voice in the other review : difficult remote , strange neon-like light which have to be turn off every time you power up , and slightly too-trendy facade . in addition , I be disappoint that this system do not come in say a 200-watt version instead of the current 140 W. it just lack that slightest bit of depth , even for classical or choral piece , that come from a more powerful system . as it be I find I have to crank the volume a bit higher than I would prefer to get the bass to fill out . another small point be that you can not feed audio to you tv speaker for dvd , which mean that if you like to spread the speaker out for a large room , you can not really get a center speaker effect . -lrb- as one reviewer note , you may want to get extra cable ; the include wire be only a few foot . -rrb- I would have be willing to pay a higher price to get a slightly heftier system , but nothing really exist in that niche right now . on the plus side , it be remarkably compact . the sound be excellent consider the size and relatively low power , and if you have a power subwoofer , you can easily connect it . my wife especially love the dvd capability as it negate the need to have yet another vcr-like deck , and the surround be capable enough to let you get by without wiring a full 5-speaker surround system -lrb- another plus with my wife -rrb- . overall , very good . +842 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I know I have make a bad purchase when the shipping charge be higher than advertize . I have use the system - lightly - for about three week and already one of the speeker have go out . I should have shop around . Wal-Mart have a similar system at a significantly lower price -lrb- particularly after pay $ 35 + for shipping -rrb- . I wish I have shop around more before buy this dog ! : -lrb- +502 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 i wold like to review how this sound i relly would , but , it wold not even turn on ; SO , no usefull review today -lrb- shame on koss -rrb- +831 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 amazing surround sound !!! we have a 1600 sq. ft. house and we family room have vault ceiling and be approximately 300 sq. ft. ... I be truly amaze with how well the quality be . I be hesitant at first because they be very inexpensive and I always figure with surround sound you get what you pay for , but not the case here at all ! we even splice the wire to make they longer and still have amazing quality ! I love put on music , regular cable or a movie and mute the surround sound to show people the difference ! no mount bracket ... but we screw in small l shape bracket to the top of the little speaker , and screw in hook on the wall ... work perfectly ! rca rt151 home Theater System +472 HomeTheaterSystem NEG 1 I purchase it at best buy and be real happy with look and price . Easy set up . rent 5 dvd 's and it lock up on everyone of they , picture freeze for a few seconds , then would play . very annoying . +210 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 Consumer Reports rate this a best buy . I pick up my system today . take more time to unpack the system and pull out the old equipment than to setup the new system . total cake walk . if people only new how easy it be to setup a system like this , everyone would have a 5.1 system in they house . not sure what everyone be talk about complicate . it be very remote drive , but it have dvd , VCR , FM\/AM , so what I expect . +14 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 this receiver be excellent . the ipod iPhone charge station be cool . need to have you own speaker for upgrade . I sell the speaker that come with unit . +590 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I purchase the Vizio vht510 thropugh Walmart and it be one of my better purchase that I have make concern purchase price and sound quality . I have the soundbar hook up to my Dishnetwork receiver that have to go through my Pioneer vsx-1710txv receiver and Sylvania 40 inch lcd tvg . everybody be complain about the led but I have no problem with this issue as it work great . it be very easy to set up and the secret to get the quality sound you want out of the subwoofer , speaker and soundbar come through the remote . I recommend this product with 5 star . +493 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 just purchase this system so I could have some surround sound for my tv . it look like the best thing in my price range hand have the speaker dimension that I want . the system be a breeze to set up , all the cable be color code so you really can not mess up . I read a number of review say that the cable be a little short for the satellite speaker , but for my situation they be plenty long -lrb- like 3x too long ! -rrb- . so I guess if you have a large room you might want to consider something different as extend these wire would require you to splice you own wire to the exist one . I be excite about the speaker auto calibration but for some reason I think it make the back speaker too quiet , so I have to manually adjust there volume -lrb- pretty simple use the remote -rrb- . sound quality be great and price be great , really happy about the purchase . +438 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 we install the system 3 week ago . the rear wireless speaker work well and be the main reason we purchase this product over other - the design of we family room do not allow wire to cross it . the system also have lot of input and output -- we want to be able to add a VCR for we kid ' video and be able to hook on a external video camera . both connect well . during set-up , however , some more detailed direction that explain the various connection would be helpful . we want to use we own 5 disc dvd\/cd player instead of the single dvd player that come with the system and install this be not as simple as we have hope . get this to work require a couple of trip to Radio Shack and about $ 45 in additional cable . hook up all of the other component , however , be straightforward . overall , we be very pleased with the product . those who purchase the system and stick to the piece they give you will probably be even more pleased . +32 HomeTheaterSystem POS 5 I do not own this particular item , in fact I do not have a home theater system at all ! what I do have be the Apex 1600 and also the Apex 2600 dvd player . they be easy-as-pie to hook up and learn to use . the price be unbelievable , too ! as for most tv have the S-video hook-up , I own 4 tv ... uh huh , and only the 1994 -lrb- the newest of the 4 -rrb- , rca 27 '' one have the s-video gizmo . yeah . I have a almost identical 1993 rca 27 '' that do not have it . my oldest tv be a 1980 13 '' Hitachi -lrb- with a dial for channel 2 thru 13 -rrb- ... uh huh , but I have hook it up to a inexpensive VCR player and access the other cable channel that way . it be just in a guest bedroom at my cabin getaway . I really love read what you reviewer say about the product here ... because they help I a awful lot . I be not a techie by any stretch of the imagination . but I pick up a little info here and there , read the instruction -lrb- sometimes again and again and again -rrb- and eventually get thing to work . anyway , I be almost sell on this product . of course I 'll hook it up to the newest tv -lrb- ha ha ha -rrb- ... and it sound as tho maybe only 3 of the 5 speaker will work with my older tv . I be wait for the price to come down on hdtv ... and also for more hdtv channel before I buy a new tv . thanks to all you reviewer ! +584 HomeTheaterSystem POS 4 I buy this system Xmas 2001 . ... there a few `` nagging item '' I would of like do differently but overall I be very pleased . the good 1 -rrb- sound great ! the subwoofer & -lrb- 5 -rrb- satellite speaker be nice look & compact . and the output be plenty for we 12 ' x 16 ' room . 2 -rrb- Plays virtually all type of CD 's perfectly .

Picture quality be perfect -lrb- of course - it be digital -rrb- . the bad 1 -rrb- no dvd zoom or similar feature I have see on other player . not a real big deal to I ... 2 -rrb- no built-in DTS decoder . again not a big deal to I as Dolby digital kick ! 3 -rrb- it take approx 5 sec to `` read '' a disc before any playback can begin . 4 -rrb- there be no text display for mp3 file & the unit do not `` chapter '' folder the way some unit I have see will . for instance if you have individual album in separate folder , you can not `` chapter '' from folder-to-folder . this unit only skip track although you can type in a `` go-to '' track # . the ugly 1 -rrb- very slow disc change . I time it at about 12 sec . almost best to consider it a single disc player . 2 -rrb- mp3 playback seem to be limit to a maximum of 160 kbp encode rate . this be annoying to I as I have many recording at 192 + kbps and this unit will jump\/skip at high bit-rate . 3 -rrb- the unit tend to get hot seemingly due to it be `` Energy Star '' compliance that cycle the fan on\/off . I actually return the 1st unit I would purchase think the fan be not work . after get the 2nd one and watch the fan , I realize it cycle . take heed and install in a ventilate area with good air flow ! diff --git a/train/Jewelry.txt b/train/Jewelry.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..9544f153b72213e9debda6e959a49ff98567822d --- /dev/null +++ b/train/Jewelry.txt @@ -0,0 +1,701 @@ +740 Jewelry POS 5 the ring be better in real life than the picture , but you still get what you pay for . +859 Jewelry NEG 2 this ring have a `` diamond '' that be over size for how light the actual ring be . snag on thing and the prong be not sturdy at all .

I would recommend this ring for people who will not be use it as a everyday accessory ... but overall I be happy with my purchase ... +218 Jewelry NEG 1 this look like a nice ring in the picture on the site , but in reality it be really rough . I return it for my money back because I be really disappoint in the quality of the ring . for sixty dollar i be expect something really nicely fabricate , but the outside piece do not spin properly -lrb- at a certain point i have to force it to spin -rrb- , the saldering at the seam be awful and obvious , and there be notch and imperfection all over it . just really disappointingly poor quality . do not trust the picture . +811 Jewelry POS 5 I buy this as a gift for my boyfriend and he love it . it look really nice and this seller be very fast . we have to exchange for a smaller size and I be amaze at how quickly we get it back .

I after some thought I decide to have my husband purchase the ring for I for valentine day . when I be look over the ring online before the purchase i notice that it do not have a ring size selection , I decide to call the company and ask about the ring size before i buy the ring . I visit with the customer service , rep. I ask about size and if I could get it in a larger size . he tell I to send a e-mail after purchase the ring to request the correct size , - that they would size the ring for I - I request it in a 8 1\/2 . DId not hear back from they or get a confirmation e-mail . I be so excited to get the ring . I naturally assume that they would process the order as request . the ring arrive in a timely manner by Fed ex . it be package professionally but i do not pay $ 200 for packaging . I pay $ 200 for a ring that should look like the picture . it do not . the pearl be beautiful . the ring however be so small , that it hardly fit on my pinkie . the metal be thin and skimpy , and the halo around the pearl should look round , but it be flat on top like it have be press down on top . I cant express the thinness of the gold metal . I have contact customer service again via e-mail , since american pearl do not express any return policy , and I will call they as well to request a refund , or a resize . what i be concern about it that they will size the ring and not add any extra gold to it , and the band will appear even thinner . I be not sure if that be what I want to happen . this ring should be advertise for a child only . but I do not think I would spend $ 200 on a ring for any child . beware . I will update this post when I hear from the company . 2-17-10 update I call the company , and the rep seem slightly confuse with why I be want to return the ring . he do not seem like he really listen to I . I explain the problem , and he advise I to ship it back to the company in NYC and they would not charge I for resize , and also make sure the package be a COD . we insure the package , and it cost we $ 16 to ship it back . we will see when its return to we , for a later update . 2-26-11 UPDATE ring be send back . I receive it today , and it fit beautifully . same ring same packaging , it be just throw back in with the original stuff . but that okay . I just think that maybe they should have package it better to return . it be almost like they be put upon because i want the correct size . never the less , it do arrive and i be not charge for the size , and overall I be happy with the ring . I will change my rating star to 3 because the ring fit . it be still flat on top , as the metal should be more round but overall , a gorgeous ring ! +112 Jewelry POS 5 Sabrina Silver be great to work with .

I unfortunately take off the string and my ring separate into the 4 separate band . luckily I find a website that give I instruction on how to reassemble it . my dad put it back together and it be fine , but I have to admit I be a little distraut about how there be no indication or warn tell people not to take it off . if this do happen to you , google `` puzzle ring solution '' and there be many website to guide you in restore you ring to normal . +222 Jewelry POS 5 I love this ring and have wear it since receive it ... everyone who have see it love it and want one . . the price be right and I love it . . highly recommend ! +407 Jewelry POS 5 I have be want one forever and have be look at they for a long time . I love it , everyone who have see it love it . I be honestly very picky about my jewelry and my best friend use to work at a jewelry store and he love it too . my skin quickly turn green with costume jewelry and that be not at all a problem and I even sleep in this ring . it may not be quite helzberg quality but it be really nice and I could not be happier without spend a outrageous amount of money . +626 Jewelry POS 5 I decide to write a review for this product as I have see many review for item by this seller that be fairly contradictory . I be a avid fan of sterling silver and personally own over 100 ring -lrb- purchase from various seller and artisan -rrb- . here be what I can tell you from my extensive experience : substantial sterling be expensive and shiny finish scratch no matter how careful you be . take that into account , I order this item with some trepidation - it seem to be awfully cheap for real sterling , and it be very shiny . the sterling be somewhat thin , however it be not as thin as I be expect it to be . it do not bend with normal usage . I even squeeze it onto a larger finger and then do some tug to get it back off and the ring do not bend . that be a decent thickness for the price . I also wear many ring at the same time and have not find my ring to have scratch the surface of this one -lrb- yet -rrb- . I have purchase ring from major retailer -lrb- when they be on sale they be about the same price as this -rrb- and the sterling be much flimsier and the surface easier to scratch . add to the fact that it be well-made -lrb- solid , the scrollwork be not stick out and the stone be not loose -rrb- , the detail charming , and the stone genuine , I can honestly say that I have NEVER FOUND A BETTER DEAL for a genuine sterling silver ring ! I love the ring so much that I have order several more and some other item from silver insanity . I be extremely satisfy with they product and find they price excellent -lrb- reasonable and appropriate -rrb- . these `` armor '' ring be a bit smaller than what some people may have be expect but that be why you should read the specification carefully and also the weight listing . I find that the 3 `` armor '' ring that I have purchase all reach to about 1 centimeter behind my middle knuckle -lrb- as in , do not go past my middle knuckle -rrb- . one note - the size seem a tad bit small - if you be a half size , order up ! Hope this help ! +484 Jewelry POS 5 I love my new ring ! it come earlier then the estimate delivery date . it be a moderately small size , definitly delicate enough for a woman . it look just like it do in the picture . I be concern about size , and that the nine would be too small , but it fit perfectly ! when I use the size chart , I measure a comfterably loose ring , and be a size ten . however , this ring I buy in a nine and it fit perfectly , with a comfterable amount of space . I would definitly reccomend this ring ! +521 Jewelry POS 5 I read the previous review . almost do not order it . I be glad I do , its what I be look for . a nice low price ring to wear to work . the flat cut set make it good , can not get any prong stick in glove so you do not lose the setting easily . simple silver design be highly appreciate . and the size run true . I get what I order . +686 Jewelry POS 4 I be not sure how the ring would look . the picture be ok , but could have give more detail . I find the ring pretty and I have recieve great review for the ring . other think it be a real turquoise ring . I do not correct they . I plan on purchase more ring as long as my size be available . +233 Jewelry POS 5 my fiancee and I purchase this ring as my wedding band to accompany my 2 carat solitaire . it be absolutely perfect in its classical elegance and be a perfect match with my engagement ring . we have originally look at just a plain band , but go with ring instead - and I could not be happier ! will post a picture in 9 day when we be marry !! = -rrb- +394 Jewelry NEU 3 quick delivery . just not as solid as see online . it be highly polish , but it be not worth $ 26 . beautiful though . +638 Jewelry POS 5 when I get this ring yesterday , I be so happy . the heart and the stone in it be just the right size -lrb- not too big or too small -rrb- , and it look much more expensive than it be . it be just beautiful . +11 Jewelry POS 4 I think this ring be abosolutely beautiful ! and for that price , I could not pass it up . +296 Jewelry NEU 3 I buy this because I think it would be pretty and I have be look for a birthstone ring for some time now . I be not impress with the look of this ring . the stone be dull and have no life at all . I have never wear it and do not bother to return it . I guess you get what you pay for in this case . +544 Jewelry POS 5 you have to know when you buy this that it be fragile and it be synthetic . if you do not know these two thing , either you be not read the product description or review or you be not pay attention . with that be say , this ring have a almost hypnotic quality . the color and the way it catch the light make it glow . this ring be beautiful , but fragile . +249 Jewelry POS 5 I have be look for one of these that I like for a while and this one be it ! it come quickly and well wrap and I love it ! I wear it every day ! +485 Jewelry NEG 2 i recieve the ring today just now actually and i notice it be a for prong ring not six and the stone be loose i hope i can get it fix i really want to where this ring . the reason the stone be loose be because the prong be bent if i can straighten it out i might be able to where it . dissapointed +746 Jewelry POS 5 I order this ring for my girlfriend and can not wait to give this to she . I receive it alot faster than excepted and be amaze at the clarity of the stone . very impress with the quality for the money . +581 Jewelry POS 5 look just like the picture : big rock and shiny band . i just get it so hopefully it be last I a while because it be very cute & feminine . the rock be large but it be okay : -rrb- +823 Jewelry POS 5 much shinier than the picture do justice , and the sheen last . I be worried look at the picture and for the price it would look cheesy and plastic , but it be very nicely detail in person . +910 Jewelry POS 5 this ring be well worth the price . it be silver , so it will not turn you finger green , it be adorable , and for those who like to keep they hand busy this be perfect . it be definitely worth more than they be ask for . +773 Jewelry NEG 1 the stone on the ring be really pretty and big which i like because I have big hand , but the gold-plating be way to bright and yellowish . the gold plate look so fake . I have the earring of this same stone and they be beautiful and the gold look so real . not happy with this ring at all . also when I order it , I never receive a receipt with it , so I can not return it . +594 Jewelry POS 5 this ring be more than I expect ! it be a wonderful piece . I have win it everyday since I get it and have have many compliment on it . people love try to figure out how to put it back together . the photo 's be great but it look better once you slip it on . a great product . +431 Jewelry NEG 1 I have order from Gem Ave before -lrb- 2x -rrb- the band be not 3mm and look cheap you get what you pay for . the package be rip and the box be what look like pull apart the plastic bag the boxed ring come in look like it have punch though . on top if I be want to return it I have to pay shipping which be cost of half the puchase not worth it I 'll give it to my niece very disappionted Gem Ave +108 Jewelry POS 4 the ring look exactly like the picture show , and after a brief cleaning it fit together easily . the one send to I be easily a size larger than I have order however - perhaps it be a fluke . I be still go to keep it though . : -rrb- +239 Jewelry NEU 3 I love this ring , but buy it without realize it be a puzzle . I have to get my boyfriend -lrb- who love puzzle -rrb- to put it together for I , then he use a hot glue gun to keep it together , temporarily . I suppose it be not the company 's fault , I just wish I would read the review of it before I purchase it , instead of after . just be aware that this ring come apart and will do so every time you take it off . +120 Jewelry POS 5 purchase the ring along with match earring as a Christmas gift and they be very well receive . the vendor ship promptly and the price , very reasonable ! +628 Jewelry POS 4 this ring be beautiful and especial but be bigger than I think ... so it look heavy in my hand ... I would have appreciate more a size more delicate ... like it anyway ... +95 Jewelry NEU 3 I have wait a few week to post this because I want to see how the ring hold up . I have wear it maybe 10 time and it seem to be hold up ok . however the stone in the ring have very little sparkle and do not really show up well . they be a decent size and the ring itself be very realistic look but there be no life to the ring . it be most likely due to the princess cut of the stone which have very little light refraction . I should have stick with the round stone and I be sure I would have be happier . all in all , the ring be good just not exactly what I be look for . +656 Jewelry POS 5 very fast shipping and come in a nice little bag . good heavy ring . +612 Jewelry NEU 3 I receive this as a present , and be quite thrill . it be a quirky and fun ring , however I have small finger -lrb- size 5-6 -rrb- and when I try to adjust the ring by squeeze it to fit , it feel like the ring be go to snap . I recommend this ring , but feel that it be better suit for size 7 and larger , hence the lower rating . +658 Jewelry POS 5 I order this piece for myself , but I think it would make a great gift for any girl . the light really play off the stone and make it sparkle and the silver really shine . should be in any girl 's jewelry collection . great deal as far as price go . jewelry do not have to be expensive to look classic . : - -rrb- enjoy lady ! note to buyer : this be a rhodium finish ring . steam clean when need , no silver cleaner or polish ! +834 Jewelry POS 4 this ring arrive much earlier than expect . it shimmer nicely in the evening - during the day , well , you can almost tell that be not diamond - if you look closely - but who do , really ? it be much prettier than in the picture , and it be really well make . a lovely little trinket , arrive in a silver box . +647 Jewelry NEG 1 cheap material . not durable at all . vend machine quality not worth the price . +176 Jewelry POS 5 wow ! thank you , Gem Avenue for send out my order so quickly ! I receive my package two day before the end of the delievery window and be very satisified ! each ring come in it little own box with a bow cover top and the ring inside a protective space . unfortunately , I will have to return one because I guess the wrong size for a friend . I will write a separate review on the exchange policy . but the ring be beautiful and I be sure I 'll order from Gem Avenue again !!! +37 Jewelry POS 4 size run a bit on the small size , and since they do not come in half size be sure to order a size up . +796 Jewelry NEU 3 Color I receive be not green , honey and gold amber . I get green , honey and cream\/clear amber . like the size of the ring . I have small hand but like good size ring . this one be visually noticeable and be quite pretty so I be keep it . however , this ring be rather cheaply make . the ring be a simple thin silver circle with the amber teardrop set on top . no design or heft to the band itself . the teardrop be attractive in shape and size . but like other reviewer , I wish the teardrop hug the shap of the finger . the three teardrop be connect in a flat manner and would not allow adjustment to curve downward . ring would be great if it have slight curved shape . I order this with match teardrop shape tri-color earring from same company certified genuine multicolor Amber Sterling Silver Pandora Dreams Leverback Earrings ship be fast , well pack . +478 Jewelry POS 5 this ring be gorgeous and incredibly frustrating until you finally figure it out . another reviewer leave write instruction for how to solve the puzzle , but I find those to be impossible to follow . so once I get it I decide to make a video for anyone too frustrated with the ring . it be available on youtube ... -lrb- ... -rrb- +414 Jewelry POS 4 the ring be ok look . you need to order half a size smaller . it be not comfortable enough to wear all the time . -lrb- I buy this ring for my fiance and I be write all these accord to what he have say . -rrb- you need to take it off if you be work out on machine and stuff for it feel uncomfortable on the bar and all . it might be a little uncomfortable if you want to wear a glove and all . but for the price it be not too bad . +671 Jewelry NEU 3 the picture be not a accurate representation of this ring . the picture depict a ring of soft , butter-y coral hue , when in actuality , it be a brash , carnival orange . it be not even worth my time to return it - so it will sit in my jewelry case as a reminder to be careful and ask question ! +766 Jewelry POS 5 the review really make my decision easy . my boyfriend have be want a claddagh for a while now , so I take the holiday as a opportunity to get he one . I compare price and quality a good ammount and this seem to be the best option . it get a little close to Christmas even though I order it Nov 25th . I be worry since the tracking info be not update further than `` ship '' . I call UPS , USPS , and even email something silver . UPS and USPS be really no help at all , but the reply from something silver seem geniune and they really want to make sure I get what I pay for . the ring come a day later and I be very relieved . its really beautiful and my boyfriend love it . +990 Jewelry POS 5 buy it for my niece , wife be keep it .

I have not take the string off for fear of not be able to figure out the puzzle . maybe one day I might try it , but I like it so much I do not want to chance it now . ship fast . 9\/26\/07 - update SOLUTION the following be a step by step solution for a thin band , four link puzzle ring Sterling Silver Celtic Knot Puzzle Band ring -lrb- size 5,6,7,8,9,10 -rrb- I e-mail silver insanity and ask for the solution to this particular ring , and this be what I receive . I do not edit any of the information send . it be a bit wordy , but it work . I hope this help everyone . 1 . you will notice that the four band be similar , but upon closer inspection there be slight difference . two of the link have a simple peak to they , and the other two link have a dip and a peak . look carefully to identify each link . at this time , single out the link that have a simple peak , with 4 etch carve into it . -lrb- the etch may be faint , compare the two simple peak link and choose the one with more groove -rrb- 2 . once you have find the simple peaked link with four groove , hold that link only , let the other link dangle . turn the ring so that the top of the peak be point away from you . there should be two link dangle from the link you be hold , with the fourth link dangle from those two link . 3 . while still hold the four grooved link , take the other simple peaked link , which should be the one dangle from the bottom , and bring it up to meet with the one you be hold . you should now be hold the two link together , the band of the link together , and the point of the peak point outwards , opposite of each other -lrb- it should look like a diamond -rrb- 4 . continue hold the link together with you thumb and pointer finger -lrb- you will need you other finger for the next part -rrb- . 5 . you will notice that you now have the two ` dip and peak ' link dangle from the two link you be hold . Select the link on the right -- this be trial and error , sometimes the correct link will be on the right already , and sometimes you may have to pass the wrong link over the top of the ring in order to place the correct link in the proper position . the two dangle link be very hard to tell apart , so you will discover which be the correct one for the next step by follow these instruction : 6 . after grab the dangling link on the right , turn the link so that the peak and dip face you . look at the link , notice the dip and peak . you want the link that have peak that point like arrow to the LEFT , then the right . -lrb- the other link have peak that point like arrow to the RIGHT , then leave -rrb- 7 . when you have find the correct link for the next step , hold it taut against the two simple peak band you have be hold between you thumb and forefinger . the band of those two link should now be rest against the LEFT point peak of the select link , and you should adjust you hand so that you be hold that link on you pinky , taut . 8 . with you free hand , grab the last remain link . turn the link so that the peak and dip face the top of the ring -lrb- you should be hold the ring upright the entire time -rrb- bring the remain link towards the right , and overlap it with the link you be hold on you pinky . the easiest way to do this be to imagine you be try to put the other link on you pinky with the one that be already there . if this be do correctly , you will still be hold the two simple peak link between you thumb and forefinger , and they will form a diamond shape . you will also be hold the other two link on you pinky , they should form a figure eight , with the other two band pass through the center . 9 . at this point , I usually change the position of my hand . now , hold the figure eight together with you thumb and middle finger , try not to disrupt the other one too much ! try to maintain the diamond shape in some way , hold it however you be comfortable , in a way that will enable you to continue with these instruction . 10 . Select the link on the top , closest to you . -lrb- part of the diamond -rrb- spin the link around so that the peak fit through the figure eight -- also , make sure that once the peak be inside the figure eight it also pass through the band of the other part of the ` diamond ' . when the link have be spin , and pass through the figure eight and the band of the remain link , fold it downward , so that it be flush with the two link that form a figure eight . 11 . well , you make it to the last remain link ... congratulation ! all you have to do now be carefully spin the last link so the peak fit between the peak and gap of the already mostly assemble ring -lrb- just spin it , no need to do anything fancy ! -rrb- once the last remain link have be pass through the ring , fold it down to lay flush with the rest of the link . 12 . enjoy you puzzle ring ! +783 Jewelry NEU 3 in 2010 everyone should be use grade a cz 's for these type of fake ring ... . i have all kind of fake cz jewelry and this ring obviously look fake . there be some great grade a cz ring on ebay if you guy want something that truly sparkle like the real thing ... i put this ring next to one of those and it do not even come close ... . . it be a nice little ring , but you can get better for less money ... if you know anything about diamond this one obviously look fake and be less brilliant than the picture show +404 Jewelry POS 5 this be a very nice ring for the price . I order 2 different ring and be wear this on my left ring finger . it be a very pretty ring and I love it ! look better in real life than it do in the picture ! my stone be lighter blue but they may vary and be very pretty . ship be super quick . order on the 10th deliver on the 13th ! +42 Jewelry POS 4 the stone on this ring be almost exactly as picture , the only difference be that mine be a little `` taller '' , make it look more like a teardrop cut than a heart when set . the ring have a great look and feel to it , and a good weight , even though it be mostly the stone . one of the issue I have have with the ring aside from the `` tallness '' be the fact that I find little bit of fluffy residue wedge between the prong and the stone , which be impossible to pluck out , even with a pointed tweezer . other than that , this ring be great . +953 Jewelry POS 5 I get this ring for my girlfriend as a birthday present , and she love it . the only problem she have be decide what finger to wear it on . I also really like how the order come with a catalog and a business card for future order . +673 Jewelry POS 5 beautiful piece , receive way before estimate date which hardly happen living in a rural area of Maine . it be not too large , it be perfect size and be beautifully craft and polish . its stunning and fit and feel like a dream . SUPER excite about my new purchase , and would recommend for friend and family - oh yeah - and you can not beat the price ! I have spend way more on piece that do not make the cut - but this one , due to its size and fit be worth twice as much as I buy it for -lrb- to I anyway -rrb- LOVE LOVE LOVE IT can not say enough good thing , and will be sure to shop silver insanity again ! +976 Jewelry POS 4 I get complement on it all the time ! unfortunately , though , the tip of the crown snag everything it come across . +644 Jewelry POS 5 it be a bit big for the finger I want to wear it on , but that the only bad part of order jewelry online . you cant try it on . I could send it back , but why ? with such a awesome ring , I really do not care if it fit snuggly or not . wear it on a finger that fit the best . great ring . beautiful shine .

I receive the item quicker than I have anticipate . +872 Jewelry NEG 1 one star be one too many for this piece of jewelry , but I have no choice , as I have to enter a rating . personally , I believe it deserve 0 star . when I receive the ring in the mail I be pleasantly surprised , as the setting be beautiful and the stone very clear . but after wear it only a few short hour , the stone come loose , unbeknownst to I , and as I later discover , fall out . it be not a expensive piece by any means , so I be not too put out over it , but if you be consider purchase this item , I would suggest pass this one up . +49 Jewelry NEG 1 I be very unhappy with this product . not only do the cz look plastic , it fall out after two day of wear it . I have never be more disappointed with a piece of jewelry than this one . do not buy it . the ring itself look like it come out of a quarter machine . I be not sure what kind of ring everyone else get to give it such glowing review , but mine be definitely nowhere near they description . +227 Jewelry POS 5 I have be look for a good size claddagh ring for some time now all over the internet and I be so glad that I decide to go with this one ! the ring be a good size , not too large for a woman , and the design be beautiful !

I think that if you like the picture , you will absolutely love this ring when you see it ! -rrb- ^ . . ^ -lrb- +52 Jewelry POS 5 during my pregnancy , I be sad to find that my ring no longer fit . I buy this ring largely base on the positive review and the fact that it look essentially just like my wedding band . I be not disappoint . the ring look beautiful , and I feel confident wear it . I can tell it be not real just by compare it to my wedding ring , but I do not believe anyone else would ever guess without detailed scrutiny . I also be glad I do not have to worry about the plate come off and the ring look brassy since the sterling silver ring with rhodium plating keep a shiny , white gold appearance , just like my real ring . the 4mm size be bigger than I expect but not a problem since I have slightly larger hand . the price be right , and I be very happy with the ring . +646 Jewelry NEG 1 these be not size correctly . I order two different size , both ring be the same circumferance and both too small to fit . +384 Jewelry POS 4 i get this for my mom because she favorite animal 's be elephant she love it , it be the first ring she get since she wedding ring 17 year ago ! the ring come before the time limit it be really small though but luckily my mom finger be small so it all work out ! = -rrb- it be in perfect shape and very pretty i think it be a wonderful item for anyone . +613 Jewelry POS 5 i have be look for a claddagh ring that suit my personal taste for quite a while . this one immediately jump out at I , unlike all the other style i have see . it be just the right balance between delicacy and strength . just be careful about size you finger properly . +719 Jewelry POS 5 ship be fast ! the ring size fit perfectly , the price be good , and the ring be just gorgeous . I agree with other that this design be one of the better Claddagh ring . +997 Jewelry POS 5 this be a excellent shopping experience . the order be place promptly , and i have my ring within day . I make a mistake and order the wrong ring , and the company even agree to replace the ring with the right size for I . customer Service like that be rarely see , expecially with online transaction . I highly recommend this company . +661 Jewelry POS 4 well , the say be , you get what you pay for . I think this be worth the price . the stone be bluer in the picture , and seem to have fade a little -lrb- or maybe it be my imagination -rrb- , but they be very sparkly and pretty . the size I order be 5 , and it come in about 5.5 or 5.75 , which suck , but I have work it out . -lrb- I wear it with another ring on the finger I order it for . -rrb- the band seem a little wavy , like , uneven ... it do not sit flat on a table , but my finger be wear it , not a table ! I would give it five star but for the size problem , which really could be a problem . otherwise , it be a good ring for the price ! +193 Jewelry POS 4 I buy this ring for my 17 year old daughter . it be beautifully make and wonderfully price . my only complaint be that the stone be a little more orange than I would have like . I be hope for a darker red . but , I know she 'll love it ! +190 Jewelry POS 4 I love this ring ...

I immediately think when I take it out of the box that it be plastic and not metal . I can not really attest to the quality of the band , and I do not have a problem with metal so I can not tell you there either . the stone be a clear light pink and it be pretty . I would not call it really sparkly . it have a nice , clear look , but it do not have a ton of sparkle . but . . what do you want for $ 8 ? I be not head over heel , but I be not disappointed either . it be nice for the cost . if you want something cheap for everyday use , or something for a younger girl that will look pretty but be cheap , this be a good choice . definitely classier than what you find for the same price at a big-box store . -lrb- Update -rrb- the ring be cute , but be careful with it . I be not sure what happen to mine , but I come upon it one day totally crushed and bent , and unable to be fix . the metal be just that thin and cheap that it can easily be bent out of shape . I have never have that happen before to a ring . I 'll be replace it with a different pink ring . lower from 4 star to 3 . +986 Jewelry POS 4 let I first say I absolutely love this ring . it be so pretty .

I purchase a princess cut two year ago , and this be my second purchase . the ring be so pretty ! my next puchase will be the marquise when they have it in my size !!! +203 Jewelry POS 4 I have be eye the Sevillana ring for a few month ago , but I be scare to pull the trigger because of its very unique and bold design . when I see this replica for sale for a fraction of the price , I think it would be a good way to ` test drive ' the jewelry before buy the real deal . I receive the ring today , and I be impress by the weight and look of the ring . you can barely tell it be a replica when its on my finger . however , there be 3 small difference that the buyer should be aware of : 1 . the inward face part of both the o and the band be hollow , unlike the real one which be a solid peice of silver . of course , this be only noticable when the ring be off . 2 . there be no Tiffany stamp , but something illegible be stamp instead . it be probably suppose to be .925 but the number be all smear together . I be pretty confident it be real silver though only time will tell . 2 . the part where the band connect to the o be incorrect on both side : - on the real thing , one side of the ring 's band turn into a swirl that never conncet to the o -lrb- there be a gap between the two -rrb- . on the replica , the swirly and the o be connect . - on the other side of the real ring , the ring 's band be `` straight '' -lrb- no swirly -rrb- and fully connect to the O. on the replica , there be a swirly that be connect to the o just like it be on the other side . these difference be minor and barely noticable once the ring be on . however , the ring be lack the detail that the original one have , which be show by the shortcut take to manufacture this peice . overall , the quality be great for the price and I would recommend this to anyone that do not want to shell out the full amount for the real thing . however , I be quite disappointed when I receive it because its not the ring I actually want . the Tiffany Sevillana come in two size : large -lrb- the original -rrb- for $ 325 and the small for $ 275 . I be expect the large but the one that be for sale here be actually the smaller version . shame on I for not read and verife the dimension list in the description . ca not really be upset here because its my own fault , but be aware of which ring you be actually go to buy ! overall , I be impressed with Eve 's quality and price -lrb- and super fast shipping ! -rrb- and I will definitely be browse more item to ` test drive ' . : -rrb- 5 star for the experience as a whole , and this will make a nice present for my little sister . +666 Jewelry NEG 1 the ring be much smaller than what it appear like in the photo . the photo give the impression that the pearl be large and slightly raise . the `` pearl '' in the ring I get be actualy set flat in to the ring and it look like cheap mother of pearl , nothing like in the photo . also the band of the ring be very thin . overall I be very disapointed and I rarely wear the ring . +390 Jewelry NEG 2 the first time i get this ring which be last year i get one that be really good , but when i order this one this year -lrb- 2009 -rrb- I get it bent and it look like the diamond be lop side with the ring , i guess that be what you get for a cheap ring under $ 10 not buy from Gem Avenue again . +417 Jewelry POS 5 I love all the ring in all color . I would definetly buy again from gem . +623 Jewelry POS 5 Got this to wear on index finger , look great , especially for price . also get bracelet to match . look nice together , although bracelet stone a bit small for I . +433 Jewelry POS 5 this be a great quality piece of jewelry , especially for the price . I buy this as a gift for my sister-in-law and she love it !!! +213 Jewelry POS 5 I order this ring along with a couple of other item here on Amazon , and although this be the last of my item to be ship it be the first to arrive ; I just receive it yesterday , so the shipping only take around 2 day . the size of the ring 's stone and design be a bit smaller than I would expect , but the perfect size , so that it look dainty but not delicate . in fact , the picture show on this page really do not do it justice -- it look much better and more perfect in real life ! for the high quality at such a low price , it really can not be beat . this be the perfect ring for anyone look for unique and beautiful celtic jewelry . ca not wait to start wear it ! +6 Jewelry POS 5 the picture to this ring do not do it justice ! the stone be a very beautiful shade of blue and not to mention beautifully cut !

I order two jade ring and one of they break the second time I put it on . Jade 's not as durable as the other stone they offer . I recomm the agate one as more sturdy . +858 Jewelry NEG 2 I decide that I want something that would go well with my personality , so I decide I would buy one of these and try it out . when I receive it , I be amaze . the craftsmanship and overall design be beautiful , and I think that this would be it . the one thing to bring my chaotic nature to the forefront . with about two month , either the hinge or the hinge hole have break completely leave only the base and finger piece intake to a usable point . then to make matter worse , the base have a slowly evolve crack in it , make adjustment to size impossible with out completely break it to piece . and the fingertip be also begin to develop a crack in it . overall , while be initially impress by the craftsmanship and design , this be a overall fail .

I look for a inexpensive .5 cz for over a week and finally buy this one even though I think it be a little big . it be , it look slightly bigger than a 1 ct diamond , and it look fake . I do find some .5 cz from a couple of `` high end cz '' seller , but they want over $ 150 for the end product . . , way more than I be willing to spend . my .5 ct solitaire diamond engagement ring go miss , but I still have the `` wrap '' that go around it to complete my wedding band set , -lrb- I still have no idea how they become seperate , and suspect theft -rrb- . . , and I order this to fit in wedding set . . , it do fit . I wear a 9 , and the band be actually closer to a 8.5 , so it just barely fit . -lrb- and you may want to order up if you choose this ring -rrb- the band look a little smaller than picture , but I think that be just because the stone be really too big to look real . the band be comfortable though , and even though I think it be size slightly small , it be a decent band . the stone be set a little high for I . I read a lot of review in my hunt for this ring , and I think the seller could really benefit from read this . . , BUYERS WANT ACCESS to .25 and .5 cz be that be still in BANDS of REAL METAL , and price well . one of the prong be bent outward a little , but that be easy to fix . overall , for the price , I would have to list it as a good purchase . . , the quality of the cz , the band , and the setting be all very good for the price . . , and because the description be accurate as to the size of the stone , I give it 3 star .

I measure my ring finger and say that I be a size 6 . which be what I order ...

BUT , it be hard to tell unless one remove it from the finger and examine it closely . I be very happy with the ring . I have a real one exactly like this one but since I drop it down the sink once and have to have a plumber retrieve it for I -lrb- pay the plumber $ 125 -rrb- , I decide to get a look-alike for daily wear . : -rrb- I be very happy with this ring and have be a loyal gem avenue customer since I purchase the first item from they in the summer ! no disappointment yet so far -lrb- have purchase 5 time already -rrb- .

I would avoid this company . clearly no quality control . +981 Jewelry POS 5 this be a absolutely gorgeous ring . as you probably know , most jewelry shop do not offer scorpion jewelry . or if they do offer pendant and ring , they be either way too small , or the design look silly and unrealistic . but this ring be really big , the detail be great , and it just look perfect . the best part be the price . I have spend three time as much money on smaller scorpion piece from eBay in the past . I actually like the fact that it be pewter and not silver ; I be a man and personally do not like to wear anything too shiny or gaudy look . this be a beautiful ring for a price that anyone can afford . if you like scorpion as much as I do , you really need to treat yourself to this ring today . +354 Jewelry NEU 3 enjoy the ring . it be heavy which be nice . one drawback be that it be malleable and have lose its brand new shape and have to be rebent into shap . +899 Jewelry NEG 1 this ring arrive yesterday and I be go to send it back immediately . when I open up the little plastic bag the stone be not even in the setting anymore . it apparently come loose from the setting during the shipping process . I think about glue the stone back into the setting , but when I examine it closely I be very disappointed . the stone be extremely thin and cheap look . the ring be also much smaller than the photograph make it appear . I think it look like a ring for a young girl and not for a woman . needless to say , I be not happy with this purchase and I will not be order again from this seller anytime soon . +490 Jewelry POS 5 it look real enough to pass and even if it do not I would not care -- it be just " bling " and wear it make I feel special ... +179 Jewelry NEG 1 I buy three of these ring for my sister and I , and only one of they be in tact ! I have only have these for three day . they fall apart really easily and be impossible to put back together . save you money and you sanity ... if puzzle be in the title its probably not a good idea . +795 Jewelry POS 5 such a pretty ring ! I would order a size up ... or at least a half a size up . because it be stone there be not much leeway . but it be a really gorgeous ring ... I love how the natural color weave together . and the little box it come in be super cute ! +961 Jewelry POS 5 the ring setting be very lovely but you can tell that the stone be not real at a glance . but I still love the color ! the blue be so soft and beautiful . it kinda remind I of the sky . except that the color be a bit lighter . still , the ring be lovely . too big , but still ...

Service be great ! +465 Jewelry POS 4 ... but order a larger size than you think you 'll need , because the band be thick and since it be entirely stone there be not as much `` give '' as with a metal ring . this agate one be my favorite of the one I order , it look much neater than the picture show . +272 Jewelry POS 5 this ring run small . I order it in a size 5 and when I get it it be way too small for the finger I want to wear it on . I have to send it back for the next size up and it take forever to get back to I , but when it finally do , it be the next size up and it fit perfectly and I like the size , no gap between the heart and lining , the little heart be very sparkly , and I wear it everyday all day ! ... just order the next size up than what you would normally get ! = -rrb- +121 Jewelry POS 4 Gem Avenue ship very fast . I would buy from they again . the ring itself , for $ 15. , be a good value . brand new , the shine be wonderful but do lessen with time and polishing do not bring it back . I do not think I would get a ring with the rhodium plating again . the band do mar and scratch and these do not rub off . the stone in my ring , although sparkly , look plastic , not even glass . they be not set uniformly and because of this , they do not reflect the light evenly . some of my stone also look damage , as though squashed or something . unless closely scrutinize , these thing be not noticeable and the ring look like a genuine wedding band . I buy this ring to try out the style , and for that purpose , it be a good buy . +181 Jewelry POS 5 i just get my ring in today & & i absolutely love it . i be afraid that maybe it be go to be too thick but it be the perfect width . size be right on too so that be nice . it be MUCH more shiny in person compare to the photo . i have be wear it for well over 6 hour now & & there be no discoloration on my finger . material be light but still have some good weight to it . best thing be , this ring be not fragile at all & & I will definitely be wear this on a day to day basis !!! +533 Jewelry NEG 2 in the picture show here the ring look big and clear with shiny diamond , but in reality it look like a fashion ring someone would by for $ 5 . I order a size 6 , which be small obviously . but the cz , they be so small and u can bearly see they , and they dont sparkle like the picture show . the metal be shiny , i like it . some people say it look cheap but that be they opinion . the delivery and packaging be excellent . it come in this cute red box and arrive in 1 week . +631 Jewelry NEU 3 not what I expect . the stone be more on brown than actually a smokey color . the gold color of the ring be a bit gaudy . would not have order it if the description be closer to reality . +145 Jewelry POS 4 it be my first time I purchase jewlry from Amazon .

I think even put a real diamond on this ring would look like fake . +789 Jewelry POS 4 it be a beautiful ring , i do believe it be synthetic in its make-up . but do not let that deter you from purchase it , under the right condition it have the aurora borlia effect . the ring be very beautiful and i give it as a gift , but like all the other review : it be FRAGILE . it break after about 2 hour because of a small mishap . good buy though at this price . +373 Jewelry POS 4 this ring feel like a attractive high-end cocktail design , and be fun for that purpose .

I do not know it would fade\/tarn like other reviewer indicate . Time will tell , but for the price it probably worth it . only one thing , I wish the seller would send\/mail out the ring asap since we know how much a $ 4.99 shipping cost would be for this light weight item be ... similar seller charge for only $ 2.99 for similar item ... then the seller should keep in mind of the buyer expectation and you know what I mean ... +34 Jewelry NEG 1 the ` diamond ' be obviously fake . and sooo much bigger than in the picture . cost wayyy to much for what its worth . so regret get this ring . +163 Jewelry NEU 3 I like my black gemstone ring and order the turquoise one for a friend . they like it ... +829 Jewelry POS 5 I just get this ring today and I simply love it . the craftsmanship be very well do on it . the two band under it be adjustable so any finger will fit it . even a man finger if he just pull the band apart . there be a bit of weight to it be solid pewter so you finger might feel a bit weird after you take it off . over all I really love this finger spike and be look forward to get another one but in a different style besides the star on this one . +668 Jewelry POS 4 I think this be nice look . it be a gift for my 17-yr-old niece , and she must really like it since she lose the original and want the exact same one as a replacement . +283 Jewelry NEG 1 I have never even receive the ring !

I buy this and the .925 sterling silver princess cut cz -lrb- from Gem Avenue -rrb- as engagement ring because some of the review mention that the ` stone ' on this ring be a little larger than expect . I want a small -lrb- less than 1k stone -rrb- , and this be just too big on my hand . I have originally really want a round-cut but the princess-cut have a smaller ` stone ' and I actually end up like the cut better after compare the two . this be still a nice ring for the money though !

BUT i pay $ 24.99 for this at Staples on sale during xma - at that price it be totally unbeatable . i would take 1\/2 star off for the mouse wheel only be one-directional , but i 'll round up . +86 Keyboard POS 5 I just receive this keyboard from Amazon . it seem to be work just fine for I . I would recommend that anyone in the market for a budget ergonomic keyboard visit Amazon often and try to find this item in stock and on sale or with free shipping . I be extremely fortunate to see Amazon have this on sale -lrb- 14.98 -rrb- and with free shipping , so it be a low risk , potentially high reward investment for I . most of the standard non-ergonomic keyboard be the same price as this one . this be a immediate upgrade over those old dinosaur keyboard that have stiff key and give you carpal tunnel syndrome . there be some vendor on the internet that sell this model , and other keyboard , in refurbish condition . I personally believe that keyboard -lrb- from budget model to expensive one -rrb- be too sensitive to buy they refurbish or off of a retail shelf . good luck to anyone who do that , but you might find yourself write a one star review . +399 Keyboard POS 5 Ok , so I order this 01\/21 and it get here today ! and ... I love it . it be a litter rubber glove-ish , but it be for protection ya know ? I be typing on it right now to write this review and it be not slip or annoy . also , the skin be thin , so it do not upset the `` push-ability '' of the key . it kinda suction-cup itself to the key . another important aspect of this product be that I have the Macbook pro 17 '' I be guess the 2009 version . so I be pretty sure it will not fit earlier model . the backlighting do shine through under the key , but the actual letter do not light up very well , but it be still pretty in the dark . White letter and symbol be on the skin , so it be fine . the cap lock light be also visible through a little hole provide in the skin . the color be beautifully accurate in comparison to the image show . overall , it would give it a 5 out of 5 . for what it cost , this be a great product !! here be some pic : -rrb- -lrb- ... -rrb- +231 Keyboard POS 5 great product and love use it ! I have have it for about 2 month and have not have any technical problem with it . +462 Keyboard NEG 2 while the appearance of the keyboard be quite good for this keyboard , there be some unacceptable nuance . the first minor problem be that the fn button be in the corner of the keyboard , where the Ctrl button . this can be very annoying . the right part of the touchpad be use to scroll up down although they make this section too big so that you will inevitably end up scroll web page up and down against you will . last , but not least , the keyboard have some problem with repeat key . it have repeatedly happen to I that when press ctrl + '' + '' multiple time , the keyboard would suddenly start send the key combination multiple time to the receiver until I release the Ctrl button , even if the '' + '' button be not be press at all . this `` bug '' together with the fact that the keyboard feel overall cheaply make , make I advise against buy it . I have be use a 87key usb wrl Slimtouch Keyboard Black for Pc +106 Keyboard NEG 2 feature be great , however it have some issue where if you press the space bar on the top right corner , then it produce friction with the body of the keyboard . the friction thus cause the space bar to not go down at once or it cause the user to have to apply more -lrb- un-ergonomic -rrb- pressure . +948 Keyboard NEG 1 I receive this as a Christmas present after -lrb- foolishly -rrb- put it on my list . let 's just say I regret cost my brother $ 65 . right out of the box , it do not work . I adjust the battery , play around a bit with the usb receiver , and it finally connect . after about 10 minute of use , it disconnect . repeated step 1-2 , use for a hour this time , and it stop work again . so I call tech support and get the answering machine . 10 time in a row , on 10 different day . email they . never get a response . my advice be to spend you money more wisely and get a better product . this one be not it . +530 Keyboard POS 5 I have own at least a dozen keyboard over the past 10 year , but this be by far the best . it charge extremely fast and hold the charge for a very long time . the key feel great and be super quiet . it also look and feel great . the only drawback for I be the lack of a number pad , but I have learn to live without it . if they ever make this keyboard with a number pad , I would get that . I like it so much I buy a second one for we other computer . it be not cheap , but it be a great keyboard ! +201 Keyboard POS 4 I work in a dark room at night , while my spouse sleep . occasionally I need to hit a letter , function , number or some special key like '' -lrb- '' . be the poor typist that I be , this usually require either trial and error or worse turn the light on enough for I to read the key . the older I get , the more light be require to actually see the key . my search be for a well build backlit keyboard to help prevent my need for any other light source . there be another model the Microsoft Sidewinder x6 that seem interesting , however on a search this model be available for pre-order and seem interesting . my need be not as a gamer , just a sometimes past bedtime typer . this keyboard come with software from Microsoft and on the usb cable over the usb connector there be a piece of cardboard that say to install the software cd first . when open the box , the CD be not notice by I . however it be there . it install Microsoft Intellitype . which seem to do something for my pc , what I have no idea . after software install on Windows xp , my old keyboard be unplugged and this new keyboard be put in . it have work out very well . the color be a solid red , and it be easy on the eye . this be a extended 102 \/ 103 key keyboard -lrb- it have some extra key -rrb- . there be a non-detachable numeric pad . there be also a non-detachable hand rest . while the hand rest be comfortable , it would have be nice to have it removable . space be a issue in the area of my keyboard , and the hand rest use about 1\/3 of the keyboard surface area . the black for most of the keyboard be glossy , the hand rest be matte and have a textured feel . all key be light , with the exception of the space bar . the space bar be not hard to find even in the dark as its a large area flank by light key . only the top of the key glow , there be no light leakage on the side of the key or on the base of the keyboard . a choice of color would have be nice . Red be not bad , I would have prefer blue . some keyboard have a key to orient you hand for touch typist -lrb- usually a physical bump on the letter `` j '' if I recall correctly -rrb- . this allow you to orient yourself to the QWERTY keyboard without look . unfortunately all key be the same , and you must learn by use which key be where . this keyboard be a bit louder than other keyboard . I do not much care for the noise . during long period of typing , my thumb seem to get a bit sensitive to the space bar . overall when typing longish post -lrb- like this review -rrb- my finger get more tired on this keyboard than on my very old basic dell keyboard . there be 6 key label s1-s6 along the left side . additionally there be a menu key on the lower right of the main keyboard close to the space bar . these be non-standard key . what the s key do I have no idea , the menu key seem to work like the right click button . unfortunately hit it a 2nd time do not undo the right click -lrb- it do not take down the menu -rrb- . there be also multi-media key , for play \/ pause , skip fast forward , sound up and sound down also mute . there be a key that change a light from one of 3 position , I suspect its related to the game capability of this keyboard . there be also a key to set the light intensity . there be 3 level of light plus and off , you change from one to the other by repeatedly hit the light button . a final non-standard button be the calculator button , which launch the Microsoft calculator . overall it be a well make keyboard , a detachable hand rest would have be nice . my hope be over time the sensitivity to the space bar will decrease . most of the extra key be useless to I . I do really appreciate how well light this be , and how there seem to be no bleed through of light between the key . I be happy . Amazon sell this at a lower price than it be list at today . today it be list at $ 59.99 , my price be $ 45.10 . for $ 45.10 this be a very good purchase in my opinion . with any luck as this device become a bit more mature the price will settle down . +469 Keyboard NEG 2 this be a average keyboard . small but the key arent ergonomic . worst part be that if you pc sleep , you wont be able to wake it wirelessly with this device . +643 Keyboard POS 4 this keyboard exude class . it just feel like quality . Microsoft of late have come out with some nice wireless mouse too that pair nicely with this . the only other beef be that at this price point , I would like to see some key illumination . otherwise the curve of the key just feel more natural . +274 Keyboard POS 4 so far , so good ! I have be use the keyboard for a little less than a month and it be be work great . it be act up a few time but I have just remove and then replace the usb plug and it work just fine . I buy this item because I be not convince on spend the $ 130 on the logitech version and think I would give this one a shot . I use it more my media computer that be hook up to my live room tv . for just over $ 30 I do not think that you can go wrong with this one ! +890 Keyboard NEG 2 I have own these keyboard for year and use they with various Palms . I will continue to use and recommend they to other for every handheld except the iPaq 3900 series . the iPaq keyboard interface be design for the prior ipaq series , so you must use a adapter to use the keyboard with the 3900 . the adapter be carry separately and will be easily lose . in addition , the adapter raise the iPaq up about 1\/2 inch higher off of the keyboard than the original design . it look a bit unsafe and feel like the iPaq be go to flip off the back of the keyboard . remember , the iPaq be a bit taller and heavier than the average bear . the adapter be also difficult to force into the end of the iPaq to begin with . the adapter have no guide keep it straight during the delicate journey into the nether region of the handheld , and it be a tight fit . I have to jiggle the adapter sideways until it settle into place , and I be sure I would take great care in perform the maneuver in the future , although that will not happen . this be really a shame because one great advantage of the Stowaway be the fact that it can be break down and put away in seconds -- wonderful when you be do research in a library and do not want to walk away from you computer . ruefully , it be not the case for the newer ipaq owner in the crowd . I have the keyboard for about 30 minute before I return it . I think they be great keyboard , and think outside be a really good company . however , the company need to commit to a real interface design for newer ipaq owner . sadly , I have to say save you money and wait for something better to come from this company . maybe they 'll put out the XT version for the iPaq in the near future . there be always hope . +941 Keyboard POS 5 I have use this in meeting for about 3 month now . the keyboard fit perfect in my hand and the spacing be just right . the laser be bright and have a long range . have the usb accessory help since I have one computer with out Bluetooth . +682 Keyboard POS 4 after search for the right keyboard , I finally find it . I be always bring work home and need a backlit keyboard . the Eclipse be perfect for typing in the dark without disturbing other member of my family who be interested in watch the television in the same room . I have have no issue with the keyboard . +509 Keyboard NEG 2 not satisfy . very difficult to pair . if you could , it disconnect in a minute . too small , key combination be difficult to use . no amazon , no return ! +347 Keyboard NEG 1 I would not recommend this keyboard , the key break after just a few month usuage . after a month of try to get replacement key I still have not receive they and be actually tell after my first inquiry that `` shipping be too busy to get they out but they would go out that day '' , 3 week later I still do not have they and no response from the mfg. No one answer they 800 # and they do not seem to respond to email . +669 Keyboard POS 4 before I purchase this keyboard I read some of the review , and remember at least one reviewer complain about the oversized delete key . at the time I think this be inconsequential . not so . as you can see from the photo , the delete key be larger than the enter key . on all other keyboard I have use it be the opposite . I have use the Edge for about a month now , everday at the office . I still routinely hit the delete key when I really want enter , and vice versa . perhaps one day i 'll adapt , but for now it be annoying . the only other problem I have have be that on occasion the mouse pointer will stick momentarially . other than that it be work quite well . +504 Keyboard POS 5 I order this product since it be only about 3 dollar , and have free shipping . . much better than some other site that want 30 dollar for the same product . the color be a bit off from the picture , but I like it so much better !! it be a very pretty pink , and go well with the cover I have on my laptop . it fit great , but I have a 15 '' macbook pro , not a 13 '' . . so , maybe there be a bit more room for the product . I would definitely recommend get this product !! : d +906 Keyboard POS 5 the best thing since Windows 7 !! the Logitech wireless backlit keyboard be a snap to install in about 20 minute and have perform flawlessly . the key be comfortable and have a nice tactile feedback ; the backlighting -lrb- 3 brightness and ` off ' -rrb- dim when not be use and come on when you hand approach . when the ` battery condition ' indicator drop to 1 -lrb- of 3 -rrb- bar , just plug in the usb cord and keep on work . with no cord , I can sit back in my chair , put my foot up and browse away . I have use it from as far away as 10 foot . the keyboard , along with Logitech 's wireless mouse -lrb- also from Amazon.com -rrb- have clear my desk of all those extraneous wire , leave room for more important clutter ! +305 Keyboard POS 4 I basically like this little keyboard because of its portability , price , and feel . it be small enough to fit in my pocket and very cool to use . you have to remember to fold down the small bracket in front of the keyboard . the key have a nice feel to they . my only criticism be that it be not quite a full size keyboard . though the key be full size themselves , the spacing between the key be not quite like a full size keyboard . however for my purpose , light typing , a short report , or a letter , it be fine . I hotsync my document to my computer , save , and print they out with `` document to go , '' and there you be . a addendum : you have to make sure you hand have the proper support and the proper angle when typing or else you 'll wind up with tingling hand and possible pain . you have to take break , stretch you hand , type for a short while , etc. . +262 Keyboard POS 5 I like look at KEYBOARD and USING IT . key be large , UNIT no LARGER THAN need to be for normal use , no duplicate number on it . SMALL MANUAL MIGHT be helpful even at risk of repeat obious , E.G. , UPPER RIGHT LIGHT STRIP , BUTTONS at UPPER LEFT . +812 Keyboard POS 4 I purchase one of these after have the g19 for about 2 year before a few of the g key start stick and not work . they be both very close in design with a few exception . this g510 have a slight more `` rough '' feel of plastic on both the wrist guard and the key . the g19 have a smooth wrist guard and smoother plastic key . the key on the g510 however have more a `` solid '' feeling to they . the g19 feel like the key would `` wiggle '' in place a little bit , while the g510 feel more sturdy with the key . of course the g510 do not have the usb port which be not that bad since I never use they and all they do on the g19 would heat up the part where the usb port be when it be on . only complaint with the key be the space bar , it have to be press all the way down or or wont read the keystroke . if you just lightly tap the space bar with you thumb , you will be find yourself miss a lot of space typing on this keyboard unless you correct you typing . the headphone and mic jack work , however I do have a few complaint about they . with no headset plug in , the volume wheel control system volume . however if you plug in a headset to the port , the keyboard basically `` load '' the driver for it in Windows and it basically become like a second sound card . however if you unplug the headset , it `` unload '' the sound card from the system . this would not be a complaint except the volume wheel control the headset only if it be plug in . so because I leave my headset plug in all the time , the wheel become only useful for the headset 's volume , not external speaker . as for the lighting , this be where it have lose 1 star . the lighting be much dimmer compare to the g19 and also the g13 game-pad . I still use the g13 game pad and the screen and key on the g13 be about 1\/3 brighter then the g510 . because of this , the key compare to the g19 can sometimes be hard to read in the light . it still can be see well in the dark but it should not be dimmer then a previous model , if anything they should have make it brighter . the layout and extra g key be nicer , much better then the 2x2 design that be on the g19 . the g19 the key go 1,2,3 . . in a vertical fashion which I do not like . the g510 correct it by make they horizontal , which be easier for the brain to remember in the heat of a battle in a game . I do not feel like put $ 160 for another g19 , and I do not much use the color lcd screen much , a monochrome one show the same basic information . the only downfall be the dimmer key compare to the g19 . let we just hope that this keyboard will not start get sticky key like the g19 do . +652 Keyboard POS 5 this be a amazing keyboard ; key be bright enough to let you type in the dark , for heavy typing ; key be very quiet , not burst the tranquility of quiet area , beautiful design and pretty easy to set up , plug and play and you be ready to go . I highly recommend this product , one of the best keyboard i ever use , it worth the money you pay . +741 Keyboard POS 5 I have be use Microsoft mouse and keyboard for a long time because of convenience\/price consideration , so it be a pleasure to return to a mac-styled keyboard\/mouse combo from Macally . it just feel right and work smoothly with my old workhorse power PPC dual . be use mac since 1986 so I know the diff . +122 Keyboard POS 4 I really like it , I would give it a high 5 if it would link to somewhere like android market with more application for download ... +751 Keyboard NEU 3 there be not instruction . after mess around with it , I figure out to press the fn+alt +0 to get it to connect -lrb- blue light come on -rrb- . it work on my ipad -lrb- 1 -rrb- , but refuse to connect to my ipod -lrb- 2nd gen -rrb- . it be light weight and small , but cheaply make . for the price , I can not complain . however , for a few more buck I be probably better off with a better model . +275 Keyboard POS 4 as funny as the box may look it contain a keyboard that make a keyboard-screen typist like I happy . I type use a version of true touch typing and flick my eye between the keyboard and the screen . this be because I start as a hunt and peck typist . you have to have a bright keyboard to type fast when use this method . this work ! +846 Keyboard NEG 2 if you use either a kvm or ps2 keyboard\/mouse extension cable , this wireless keyboard will periodically stop work -- up to several time a hour . otherwise , it be fine . +477 Keyboard NEG 1 I get the item and try to use it , it do not work , I contact the seller who refund my money , which I guess be good , but I would have prefer a work unit . I would recommend that if you need to free up usb port just add a usb extension . save you money +321 Keyboard POS 5 this keyboard be awesome - it help you work in a more natural position by eliminate the extraneous number pad at the right end of most keyboard . as a writer , I do not need it . instead , my mouse hand can come in closer to my body with this keyboard . it really help make I more comfortable . I have be work with a old , full-width keyboard this week and I can really tell the difference - my right arm be hurt now ! +841 Keyboard POS 4 Perfect for a media center - I have a pc hook up to my tv in the living room and this be great for it . it be compact and it be not practical to use a real mouse . the touchpad in the middle be good for both right and left-hander . decent feel , good price . would be ideal if it be back-lit so you could see what you be do in a dark room . +880 Keyboard POS 4 this be pair to a mid-level , Windows 7 htpc . I work great for 6 month as long as battery be change every 3-4 week -lrb- 3 hr daily use -rrb- but start lose connection more frequently and reduce range . originally would work at 15 foot but this reduce to 5-10 foot even with fresh battery and relink the wireless connection . buy a brand name replacement mini-keyboard but recently try this one again . it seem to be work like new after a hiatus - kinda finicky . +158 Keyboard POS 5 this work great with linux and 7 with no driver install . you can conserve battery life by turn off the remote portion when you do not need it . the usb transceiver be impressively small . you can turn the mousepad action sideways if you like . the keyboard will illuminate on demand . its the perfect solution for the home entertainment box run Netflix . could not ask for more . +218 Keyboard POS 5 you have to be pretty jaded , or more likely a envious fan bous , to give this thing 1 or 2 star . grant , it have a bit of a learning curve , and after only a day , there be some thing that I would like do better , include Netflix in search result for example , but overall this thing be very nice . I actually set out to buy a universal remote , but get the revue instead because it be only $ 100 more . this be the most pleased I have be with a purchase in a while . it take a while to get use to the idea of use a keyboard as a remote , and a little longer to master the track pad , but once you do , it be amazing . do not like use the keyboard ? use you phone . it be freak amazing . buy it or you 'll hate yourself . : -rrb- +811 Keyboard POS 4 if you be look for a wireless keyboard and mouse paired set -lrb- 1 usb receiver for both -rrb- , this be a great option . it work flawlessly , and super easy to setup . the keyboard and mouse be not `` fancy '' , but I be not shop for that . +964 Keyboard POS 4 try with debian : no software need , most fn key recognize by gnome without problem -lrb- music\/media player key be map to tool -rrb- . the back and forward key be quite useful for browse . the keyboard feel a little smaller than regular keyboard , but feel quite comfortable typing . I use vim quite often recently and the smaller keyboard make it easy to reach the ESC key . the only complain I have for this combo be the mouse . I know it be a simple mouse -lrb- without fast scroll and extra button -rrb- , but I do not expect to feel friction when scroll the wheel and even hear noise . it also do not support left\/right scroll . +499 Keyboard NEG 1 I like the concept of a keyboard that could dock my ipad2 , sync it , and charge it . too bad Apple do not make one compatible with the ipad 2 . +51 Keyboard NEG 1 though I really like the feel of the keyboard and mouse , it do not work out for I : - the usb transceiver die after 4 month . - the mouse stutter -lrb- on a 6-month-old Thinkpad x201 , 8 gb memory , Windows 7 64-bit -rrb- . +464 Keyboard POS 4 own for 2 week now . pro : - no need to change battery . the office lighting in my home office be sufficient to charge the keyboard . open the window and there a over abundance of light to keep this keyboard top off . - the vast majority of key be comfortable . the button depth be pretty shallow , but a little deeper than the apple aluminum keyboard . the key rebind well , and there no difficulty typing with this keyboard . - no config necessary to get the keyboard to work with OS X. all the key map correctly on they own . - very flat keyboard . easy on the wrist . - on\/off switch on top , easy to access . - software to monitor battery be easy to use , and simple . con : - no cap lock light . seriously ? - ctrl\/opt\/cmd - space - cmd\/opt\/ctrl be all very convex . very convex . its a wee bit uncomfortable in my opinion . the f key be also convex , but less . Summary : overall good keyboard . very good addition to my setup and paired well to the Anywhere MX Mouse dongle . +494 Keyboard POS 5 I think this sleeve be awesome -lrb- esp . if you turn off you keyboard light -rrb- . it look cute and adorable . I get compliment all the time . it be easy to use . protect my computer all the time . +877 Keyboard POS 4 have it about a week , along with a Logitech V705 Mouse . lot to say that be good , only problem be the oft mention caps\/scroll\/numlock button . obviously too late for a hardware fix , but have all 3 work on screen would be a good thing . still try to fugure out how to program the scroll wheel in Firefox to open a new tab rather than open the magnifying glass -lrb- which I can do better by ctrl+ croll wheel up and down -rrb- . all in all , a good buy for the buck - too bad the backlit wireless be so expensive , and the keyboard light that I have look at all seem to have shortcoming . +650 Keyboard POS 5 I love this keyboard . it be a very basic keyboard . not too fancy or anything , but it look great . I also love the blue light under the key . it make typing a lot easier in the dark . I also like how only the letter and stuff be only light up and not the whole key . +336 Keyboard NEU 3 pro Works out of the box price be decent Feels decently solid con small size make it a bit awkward to use 25 % larger would have be nice the mouse pad be way to small and it be location on the device often get in the way overall , work for now . but I 'll keep my eye out for something better +112 Keyboard POS 4 they have more linux support for it . nice , quietish keyboard . the extra button might be nice under Windows ; I have have to manually map they under Linux . I wish Logitech have support for we linux people . +496 Keyboard POS 5 the mk710 keyboard and mouse be at least my 10th set of input device , and up to this point they be the best I have ever own . the soft tactile keyboard have a feel that you would only expect from very high quality equipment , the mouse be just as impressive , and both piece be beautifuly design . yet the price be a downright bargain . the keyboard be also feature packed and very comfortable to use for several hour at a time . Logitech really hit a homerun with this affordable duo ! +186 Keyboard NEG 1 I want something that would transmit more than ten foot - which be the limit of the Microsoft keyboard I have , but I can not get this Belkin to work under Windows xp due to driver issue . I have over ten year experience in Windows and Macintosh environment , and this device simply will not work with my system . ultimately I buy a Logitech keyboard that give I about fifteen foot in a direct line of sight with new battery . +804 Keyboard NEU 3 you get a excellent mouse with a decent keyboard . consider the price of the mouse itself , this be a great value . however , I be not impress with the quality of the keyboard . the key feel cheap , and the action be unimpressive . for my taste , the keyboard be much too `` soft '' and feel flimsy . the optical mouse , however , be a must-have item . the precision of a optical laser be fantastic , and microsoft really do make the best optical mouse out there -lrb- although other be cheaper -rrb- . the scroll wheel be extremeley useful , and the mouse feel great in you hand . if you need a keyboard and a mouse , this combo be a good value . but if you already have a acceptable keyboard , I would recommend buy the mouse alone . +575 Keyboard POS 5 so easy to install , even a caveman could do it . the red and blue backlighting could be a tad brighter , but overall it be a excellent keyboard . +64 Keyboard POS 5 what can I say ... the product exceed my expectation . I have only have to change the mouse battery once and have not have to change the keyboard battery yet and I have be use it daily since November of 2010 ! it have a low profile receiver that plug into usb -lrb- no software need -rrb- and make it almost impossible to accidently get catch on it and potentionally break it . I wish the keyboard light up ; although that would burn thru battery faster . that be say , I think it should have a option to do so . if it do , then this product would be absolutely perfect . great product for a very fare price ! +17 Keyboard POS 4 first off this be a very great idea that need I little time to fix up . Works great for my need . I use to hook my laptop up to my tv , but I use my laptop and there for do not want it hook up to my tv . web browsing be decent minor lag on my fast connection but bearable . best benefit Pandora can play in the background while do other thing , as do the media player . also work with nfl Sunday ticket to go which be awesome . so over all good but do need some work . +630 Keyboard POS 4 for the low price that it be at , it do a great job . if you be look to match this with a Tiffany Blue case , it be not the same color . I have a Tiffany blue case and I purchase this at the same time , it be much more teal . however once it be on the keyboard , they look very similar ! +40 Keyboard NEG 2 the keyboard be very temperamental from the day i open it the mouse jump everywhere . if you click on either mouse button it either open multiple tab or something completely different . +311 Keyboard POS 5 plug in usb midi cable to my Windows 7 laptop . Windows install driver and I get it work with reaper and the Midi on my Alesis sr16 drum machine . the cable have light that blink for midi note in and out . +378 Keyboard POS 5 I buy the Saitek Eclipse II Keyboard as a upgrade from a smaller illuminating keyboard . I really like the feature on this . it be well lay out and very well build . it be get a nice weight and feel to it . the key feel great while typing and actually have a little bit of texture to they . even the character on the key have style . I especially like the glossy black finish to the main board part . the illumination be not terribly bright , but it be enough to find the key in the dark and make it look cool . the color can be change with the press of a button and the intensity of the light can also be adjust . it do not come with direction , but everything be pretty easy to figure out . great keyboard ! +780 Keyboard POS 5 I have use this mouse\/keyboard for a week now and could not be more satisfied . I use it approximately 25 foot from my laptop to watch Netflix on my big screen tv . the mouse be a little too sensitive so I reduce sensitivity via window control panel setting . I do forget to shut the mouse power switch off at night , but it have not kill the battery yet . my son be so impressed with it that he take it home with he tonight ! I be order another . +266 Keyboard POS 5 I be hesitant to get this keyboard simply because of the price . I have it on my wish list for about six week . then I splurge and figure I could return it if I be not blow away . well , I be and have be . right out of the box I be amaze by how professional and slick it look . the after turn it and and see the black case with the white letter ... wow ... my friend have be amaze and be very envious . after connect with my pc wirelessly the keyboard be ready to rock . no cd 's , no have to read instruction , just a easy installation per sey ... this keyboard do everything and have everything you need . the shortccut on the fn key be amazing and everything just feel right ... I have a black hd set by Samasung and this key board go perfect with that and my black logitech everything mouse . I would highly reccommend this keyboard even at the high price ... quality , function and the bell and whistle come with this keyboard ... +269 Keyboard NEU 3 it be a nice keyboard . light , comfortable to use . the only problem be that at least four of the key be not lable correctly . the '' @ '' sign over the number 2 be lable wrong . and the -rrb- and -lrb- less than sign be not correct . where be the quality control anymore ??? I be not sure if the shipper get a `` screw '' up lot and sell it or be Logitech not up to par anymore ?? not sure how many other key be mislable . +447 Keyboard POS 4 I buy this keyboard 2 month back . until then I be use a normal keyboard . I use to be in great pain at the end of the day because of the strain in my finger and fore arm . I have a bad habit of rest my hand on the desk while typing . now that I have be use it for sometime , I do not feel the pain anymore . this keyboard also solve the problem of rest hand on the desk while typing . I think partly because of the keyboard layout , not all key can be reach when hand be at rest while typing . other adv . 1 . the layout of the keyboard encourage better keyboard finger -lrb- typing -rrb- . which I think be one of the strong point of this product . 2 . the multimedia feature of the Keyboard be handy . disadvantage . 1 . f lock key -- key that toggle function key between function key and one touch special function . its frustrating sometimes if you be a programmer . 2 . the home-end-delete key layout take time to get use to . I miss the insert key . I strongly feel the Insert key need to be back in its position . 3 . for I -lrb- may not be for everyone -rrb- the keyboard key need a little extra force to type than I be use to . I generally use and love HP keyboard for that reason . the HP Keyboard key be very soft and make the least amount of noise . 4 . again for I , I like the enter key to be the reflect l-shaped key as it use to be on the old keyboard . although I be use to the smaller size of the enter key , I still like that one . 5 . the character on the key be print , I wish Microsoft would have do a better job by molding the character into the key . Inspite of all these , I like the keyboard very much because of the absence of pain in my finger . +343 Keyboard POS 5 seem to be a very good replacement . can not tell if it be a refurb or new . well worth the cheaper price than other I find . +525 Keyboard NEG 2 I do not know if the keyboard I buy have be use before -lrb- the packaging look a little suspect -rrb- but when I use this product , it be always a guess game as to which key would not be work - sometimes one or two sometimes 10 or 12 . I really , really like the concept ; I think that it increase the usability of the Palm 100 % since you can keep it open on you desk and enter stuff very quickly . I hesitate to talk badly about anything Palm since I have have one for 5 year and do not go anywhere without it . Suffice to say that I be very disapointed . +818 Keyboard POS 4 this keyboard be great for the average gamer . the lighting look really nice , it really look much better than i would have think in the dark . I can dim the light too if i wish , I actually keep it dim - it look quite nice in a dark room still . the keyboard seem to be of good quality , my only complaint be the `` enter '' button near the number pad be sticky when i first get it , but after a day of usage it cease to be sticky and work like normal again . it also say it come with a cd\/software to program the key , i do not recieve any in the box but im not go to return it for that reason since i do not really plan on use that feature anyway . but it would have be nice to know that i could if i have want the keyboard actually feel really good . the key be somewhat soft but not so soft that its feel weird . you get the right amount of repsonse from the key . I can be gentle on the key when typing and i 'll have no issue . it look really good on the desk too . I must admit when its next to my gaming rig with all of its led fan and such it really make the set up complete for I . some people might not like that it be not wireless , but i do not mind at all - if you a gamer you know wire be better . no worry about intereference or any miss key stroke with this keyboard . plus i do not have to change battery ! overall , i would buy one again -lrb- and i probably will -rrb- it be look alone be enough reason for I to buy one again but the way it feel and the feel of be quality make really make this keyboard a good buy for any gamer . I will note though , that if you do some serious gaming and you need lot of programmable key and different lighting feature , this keyboard probably will not do it for you . +827 Keyboard NEU 3 it be not what I expect it to be . the label do not match some of the key on my new MacBook but it still fit . I think be still good for the price lol . +817 Keyboard POS 5 just get this for my new build and will never be go back to anything else . key be great and macro work awesome . great for any type of gaming or just typing a midterm paper +375 Keyboard POS 5 if you miss key or yours just plain be not work this be right up you alley get this product asap . +853 Keyboard POS 4 the Keyboard Cover be a good match and line up perfectly for the White Mac Book 13 inch computer . very good protection for the key , but be just not very please with the overall appearance of the item . the seller do have very fast shipment and great customer service , which be a plus . I receive my package 2 day early . = -rrb- +327 Keyboard POS 5 keyboard & mouse work great , easy installation on Windows 7 . price be super good , but it be ciber Monday , so no big surprise . +535 Keyboard NEU 3 I buy this keyboard to complete a pc I build . it start to work fine but after a few minute it start lock up and then miss keystroke . I install the latest driver but still have the same problem . run Vista Home Premium x64 . send it back . the keyboard feel be good but too unreliable for I . maybe it be something about my environment that be the problem but I do not have the time to waste to investigate it . +603 Keyboard POS 5 I love my old Palm III . it be reliable , it sync well with outlook 2000 now that I have pick up PocketMirror , and the amoritize cost be now down to penny a day . but after year of use , I still hate that stupid little stylus . my `` graffitus '' technique never get better than about 90 % accuracy , I can never remember how to punctuate , and do not get I start on the little touchpad keyboard . so the Palm III keyboard be a godsend . First off , its very cool . the key action be very good -- soft and accurate . I be still fiddle with the delay setting , as the delay be a bit too slow for my taste . they key be also a little too noisy for use in a meeting . on the plus side , typing note into the Palm be now a breeze . better still : the keyboard be collapsible , so its fold into a small rectangle not much bigger than a Palm , but be very nearly full size when unfold . when unfold and lock , it be pretty stable -lrb- although I agree with those who say you can not really use it on you lap -rrb- . it look great . what more can you ask ? i recently take my Palm III and keyboard to a conference . everybody else be lug around laptop . I just unfold my keyboard , snap on my Palm and rock . all my Dilbertesque buddy be very jealous . -lrb- Palm probably owe I hundred in finder fee . -rrb- the only problem : carry my Palm , the keyboard , and my cell phone be a lot of juggling . I need a small case that carry all three . anybody know one ? +988 Keyboard POS 4 the fit and function be great . the f-key special function icon be miss or a mismatch from the OEM keyboard , but if you remember what the key do it be no big deal . the keyboard be build on a aluminium plate and be actually a little bent . not a big deal because it straighten out when you install it . I would buy it again . +287 Keyboard NEG 1 this product do not work at all with my system . it do not lay flat , and be very difficult to type on . I have to write a lot for my job , and it be very difficult to use . +649 Keyboard POS 5 simplicity . comfort . Value . very good keyboard . oh . . and most importantly - non alphabet key -lrb- arrow key , Insert\/Delete\/Home \/ end\/pageup\/pagedown -rrb- be in `` proper '' 1980 's era `` IBM '' position . less than $ 20 . no battery to run out . no bluetooth to pair . no Wireless dongle . excellent value . +599 Keyboard POS 5 I buy the lt designer keyboard back in 1998 , and have use it daily since . well , after 12 year the shift key stop work and it be finally time to replace it . Technically these keyboard have a lifetime warranty , but give that I have go through at least 3 monitor , 4 computer , and who how many mouse in that time -lrb- not to mention a few liquid spill or other abuse -rrb- I think it have prove its worth many time over . but in addition to reliability , it be also one of the most comfortable keyboard I have use . the key have the perfect weight -lrb- and different weight depend on they position -rrb- and spring , and none of that annoying IBM keyboard clack noise . it be a large keyboard , but the extra space mean the function key , number pad , etc be not cramp like on some compact keyboard , and allow a subtle concave ergonomic slope as well . my only complaint might be that it be PS\/2 ; still , it do a great job of capture simultaneous key , make it ideal for game as well as work . all in all I can not recommend it highly enough , which be why I just buy a new one to replace it ! +265 Keyboard NEG 2 look great but after about 4 month it start press key itself . go to have to try to send it back ... Pretty frustrating . +252 Keyboard POS 5 Works as it say . Easy set up . use it on a Dell Streak without problem . would purchase this product again . +570 Keyboard POS 4 this case be perfect for the MacBook pro 13 '' laptop . I have a purple hard case on the laptop itself , so the purple keyboard case be perfect and add a really nice touch to my laptop . it fit over the key perfectly and seem like it be good quality . at first , it be a bit hard to get use to typing with it on but after a while , its a breeze . I be very happy with my purchase and definitely recommend it to anyone look for a fabulous keyboard case ! who do not like purple ?!? . . its great ! +139 Keyboard POS 5 title say it all . the key on the keyboard feel extremely good . they give off a satisfy `` click '' -lrb- perhaps that be not the best word to describe the sound -rrb- when they be push . some people might not like the noise . but I do . the mouse be also pretty good . I prefer my mouse to be `` thicker '' though . +554 Keyboard POS 4 macally ikey5 usb Slim Keyboard do what its suppose to do . not as smooth and quiet as some , but a lot less money , and fully functional . +395 Keyboard NEG 1 do not even think about buy this junk there be other alternative ! this should not be on Amazon I do not know why they just so not listen ! +695 Keyboard POS 5 this keyboard work great right of the box , and most importantly , all the key be full size and in the right place . love that it have a off switch , since it be only use intermittently . +580 Keyboard POS 5 I have try several simple plug adaptor prior to this and nothing work . my new laptop just would not recognize my favorite ps2 keyboard . be about to give up and buy another keyboard when I find this online and decide to give it a try . Works flawlessly . plug and Play . awesome . +301 Keyboard POS 5 okay I have be use this for about 3 week , and here be a update review : I have a friend with the IR version , and after use he for a bit , and loving little gadget , i get my this bluetooth version for my to-be -lrb- now realize -rrb- htpc . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the good : come with a Bluetooth 2.0 dongle . pair without fuss . excellent battery life . backlight . great button travel and feel . -lrb- for the size -rrb- mousepad work well . good range . -lrb- line of sight -rrb- fit in pocket . `` la-ser '' pointer to play with pet . can use while charge . charge quickly . good price . no software require . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the Bad : strange placement of some key - not unlike some laptop . no f9-f12 key . -lrb- which i only realize after a week of use . . tell ya how much i need they . only one shift key . Range stay good , but connection falter quickly if anything be block signal . Mousepad kinda get in the way of quick thumb-typing . -lrb- but then , where else could they put it ? Mousepad detect not as touchpad by OS . no scroll-wheel function . no software for extra configuration . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- use this on and htpc with Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit . quad-core , 8gb ram , yada yada . while the line of sight range be about 20 foot , if anything get in the way , the signal break up break up pretty quickly . I have mount mine on the wall above the television , so it be always in range when i need it . if you be look to hide it inside a case , this be not for you . if you stay within 5 foot , then block it be fine , but not a realistic option for a living room . the official Bluetooth range be tote as 10m , or 30 foot . I have never see a single BT device reach this range and stay reliable . this device be no exception . that be say , i can still use it from my kitchen - past the couch , table , and some step . I have be use it while set up the fine matter of my htpc , so I have be use it for about 2-5 hour a day while watch , typing , mousing , typing more , and set up xbmc and I have yet to charge it . I have use the backlight -lrb- which can be turn on and off -rrb- for about 1\/3 of the time . plus lot of harass the weinerdog with the laser pointer , which be very bright and have fantastic range . while I be not a teen-aged girl , I be not too comfortable with thumb-typing , but I have quickly become adept at typing with this thing , even though have the mousepad on the right side make it less than ergonomic . I have even start to type without look . my only real beef with the typing action be that there be only a single shift button on the left side , so enter a capital a , w , s , etc. , be a little weird . at first , i woudl hit teh BT Pair key wheil blindly hunting for the esc button , but i break myself of that habit . I refer to it as a mousepad because while it look and act like a touchpad , Windows 7 detect it as a regular mouse , so you lose some of win 7 's touchpad function , like edge cruise , and can not be configure separate from a regular mouse . but the mouse action be very easy to use , it have tap-to-click -lrb- which need a super-light touch -rrb- , and the mouse button placement be good . there be a easy to use Page up\/Down , but there be no mousewheel-scroll . the cursor key be located between the two mouse button . use the `` fn '' -lrb- like a additional Alt\/Shift\/Ctrl , e.i. modifier -rrb- key , you can utilize many other function and key , such as : Media key , backlight , Page Up\/Down , mousepad orientation , Windows Key , Delete -lrb- same key as backspace -rrb- . it have indicator light for Bluetooth connection , signal activity , capslock , and charge status . after turn on , it re-pair in about 3 seconds . I do not think it ever go to sleep . it can not pull a computer out of sleep but that be because Bluetooth do not remain active during sleep . however , the IR version CAN pull a computer out of sleep mode . the charge cable split off another female usb , so you win ; t lose a usb port when you charge it . use a somewhat-common usb end . i can also charge my cellphone-telephone with it . oh yes . . the disc that come with it contain Java \/ . si install file for Symbian\/Android\/gayPhone . I have a Nokia that run Symbian 6.0 , and it paired easily and work pretty well . though i really see no need to sue this with a phone unless you use you phone as a media player connect to a distant display . since I first peruse the other review on this , I have see MANY very negative review show up on this page . perhaps Amazon get access to a bad batch . I get mine from a 3rd party - CE Media . this be 100 % worth the purchase , and I be very impressed with it . no regret , whatsoever . and be a big tech nerd , I be fairly fussy about device functionality . Update : use this pretty much every day , for about a month , i finally have to charge it . only take 28 minute . still very ahppy with it . +474 Keyboard POS 5 let I start by say it be be 9 month since I have get my Microsoft Arc Wireless Keyboard in white and I be still in love ! it be one of the cutest , most stylish and affordable keyboard I have ever come across with . I be a young female adult and be look for a wireless keyboard that would match my minimalist pastel color bedroom but would also feel sturdy enough to my daily usage and I have sure find it . this keyboard be extremely compact and it be white color just make it easy on the eye while it sit on my desk . I be so happy I do not need to hide my keyboard when not in use anymore and I can just keep it handy around my desk . I must say this pretty little thing take a little bit of time to get use to it at first since it be not a full size keyboard with no numeric pad nor regular arrow key . also it be so thin that the key actually feel a tad shallow when press compare to other keyboard . but I have get use to the feel of it and I be quite glad now . like another reviewer point it out its compact size also mean that all key could be reach virtually without move you hand which be great for people with small hand in general . this be a huge plus to I as I be brazilian and I be constantly toggle my keyboard idiom setting on window back and forth between English and Portuguese-BR so the keyboard 's sleek form factor actually help I memorize quickly where all my portuguese accent be even though they be `` not really there '' . no more ugly bilingual sticker for I ! yay ! on the other hand , the keyboard be not as comfy to my boyfriend . I would not recommend it to man , gamer and people with bigger hand unless style be a major concern . like I say before , I have get the white one and it do get sort of dirty after a while but I have be successfully wipe it back to its mint condition by simply use a regular rubber eraser . so far I have not see any yellowish stain that usually white appliances\/peripherals get after some time . at last but definitely not least this little beauty be a beast when it come to battery performance ! the most I could ever get from 2aa battery on every wireless keyboard I have ever own be 3 month of usage . well it be be 9 month use it everyday for about 6h\/day and I be still get a solid performance on its 1st aa battery and I do not think I be gonna have to change it in anytime soon . +21 Keyboard NEU 3 the key on the keyboard have a mushy , cheap feel to they . it be unsatisfying to type . I have a different Logitech keyboard that I buy from Newegg for $ 12 or so a few year ago , and it feel much nicer to type on even though they look similar on the surface . one plus about this keyboard be that it have the standard f key and the insert\/home\/etc key be in the right place , unlike those newfangled keyboard that be all screw up . the only problem with the layout be the esc key be shift to the right 0.5 '' , i.e. it be not left-aligned with ~ , tab , cap lock . the mouse be a standard 2 button + wheel mouse . it work fine and at that price I do not have any complaint about it though it do feel a bit light and flimsy . +602 Keyboard POS 5 this thing take a bit of get use to , but the only flaw I can find be the placement of the single space key under the right thumb and the inability to adjust the angle on the keypad . I would rather have a second space key under the left thumb and move the backspace key someplace else , and be able to adjust the distance from each other and angle to each other of the two keypad . still , after just a few day , the weird , chronic pain in my elbow and forearm be begin to dissipate - which do not happen with the cheaper keyboard I have purchase over the year -- and the keyboard be begin to feel incredibly natural . +563 Keyboard NEU 3 I love the price of this keyboard . add to the fact , that it be from Logitech , a name that I recognize , and I be full on board ! the keyboard be not so noisy , however it be not that quiet , either . the only real issue that I have with this keyboard be , from time to time , the shift key get stick -lrb- what a metaphor for my life right now -rrb- . I guess you get what you pay for . all in all , it be not bad . it get the job do ! it you expect perfection , do not buy this keyboard . but if you be content with get the job do efficient - and effectively , BUY THIS ! +729 Keyboard POS 5 the keyboard case be buy for my 10 year old daughter 's new ipad2 . initially , I be worry about whether it would meet we need for protection . however , the case be solid , swivel in every direction possible and open into a keyboard akin to the transformer . the keyboard be Bluetooth enable so that we do not need to worry about wire . it work great when you want to type in the 4-8 word query and searcher . it also make the Ipad good enough to type up one or two page memo . it be a great invention . +258 Keyboard NEU 3 provide protection from spill , dust and food ; basic keyboard coverage option at a reasonable price ; fast reliable delivery ; product as describe +172 Keyboard POS 5 as a full size keyboard and full fuction mouse with great range , this be a excellent product . set-up take a minute or so and the connection with the computer be do from a very small usb connector . since I rarely use all my usb slot this work perfectly for I . when the connector be put in , it automatically download the driver to Windows 7 . I be use the combo a couple of minute after open the box . what I like about the keyboard be that be extremely easy to get use to and full size . I rarely make a typing mistake , it have all the key I need and I have go back a good 20 foot and it be still within-range of the usb connector . there be really no waste space on the keyboard but at the same time it do not seem crowd . but this be the one drawback for some people that I want to point out . the keyboard be long and rigid . it could become a transportation problem depend upon how people want to use this product . if you be use a small netbook this would be a excellent product at home or at work , but if you want it as a travel companion be aware of the size . the mouse also have great range , good feel , and it have work on every surface I have try it on without lose any accuracy . the software will install if you want a small screen box that allow you to do cap and number lock from the screen and also show you the connection and battery status of the keyboard and mouse . Bottomline be a good quality product and a good value for the price . it would make use a netbook or even a laptop much easier . battery be supply , set-up be easy , and you will be up and click and typing in a couple of minute . just know what you want . this be a rigid-non folding keyboard that be quite long . if you be ok with that , then this be a excellent choice . +503 Keyboard POS 5 this be my very first Logictech Product and i would have to say that they have make a believer out of I . from the time i plug it in and install the software almost everything be customizable . the best feature of the keyboard would have to be the labeling of some of the key . it help people who do not remember certain key combination such as control + c or control + p. I find this to be very helpful . music lover would also love this keyboard for its addition of the volume wheel on top . there be almost nothing to complain about keyboard other than maybe the positioning of the naviwheel . I would rather have it position on the right side of the keyboard to replace the mouse wheel . pro : great set of customizable key . label of certain key for shortcut . very comfortable with the removable wrist extension . con : not every key can be customize to you liking . +516 Keyboard NEU 3 first I 'll admit I might be older than the usual person use to thumb typing everything ... I be not a huge texter , and when I email on my smart phone , I often make it short or use voice recognition ... so that be say , the keyboard be pretty good mechanically in that the button click nicely -lrb- so you know you have hit it a button -rrb- ... it be a qwerty layout , so good enough . . if you be use to thumbtype this be probably awesome ... there be a backlight which help see in the dark room ... there be a big mouse pad . . all good so far ... and it be small so it do not add significantly to the `` pile of remote '' . . however , my main issue be that I find the mouse pad not very responsive or sometimes to responsive . . its way too easy to ` double click '' and select a link as you try to slide over it . because it be a small area , you have no choice but to pick up you thumb and move it back onto the pad sometimes and this can be interpret as a `` click '' ... Everytime I find myself log in to a website , I find myself think `` gee , I should really just put a wireless keyboard and mouse here '' , and I may just do that ... but once all you site be log into , and you get the mouse speed across the screen good , this be probably a good thing . . and I mainly use the laser pointer to freak out the dog and the neighbor cat , but I could image it would be useful for presentation -lrb- again if you be good at thumb typing -rrb- . . but that be the design of this unit so I can not really make that a detraction . . if you want a full size keyboard , get a full size keyboard ... +758 Keyboard POS 4 Standard keyboard with wireless capability and great ilumination . the finish be great , have a transparent acrylic edge around . the key be round in the corner and have a nice touch , not as good as the Razer Lycosa but very nice anyway . the big point here be the iluminate that be great , not dim like the Razer or even the g19 , both that I own . the negative point here be the battery life , which be very short , I end use it cordeed all the time . also it forget the light level and bring back it to lower all the time , I need to keep bring it back to full which be kind of a nuisance . +574 Keyboard POS 5 this item be awesome , and a great deal . my friend think this be the coolest way to surf the web on the big screen . I have no idea I would enjoy it so much . not a single problem . it tweak out a little when the battery get low , but it last for day on a single charge . I would buy this again in a heartbeat . +230 Keyboard POS 4 I get this keyboard cover for my 14yearold daughter and she love it . the color be bright and it fit she macbook perfectly . I would reccomend this product . +913 Keyboard POS 5 this keyboard be very comfortable to use . the e-mail and homepage key be so easy to set up . I would recommend it to anyone who be look for a keyboard . +843 Keyboard NEG 2 I have be look for a new keyboard for a long time . I figure it be time to try out this particular model . YUCK ! . I could hardly type on it , and some button require that extra oz . of pressure to type . it be un-usually bad ! I therefore decide to take a trip to a local electronics giant and see what they have on display . my finding be that most keyboard now do not have the tactile feedback we be use to , they be however more quiet and soft to the touch . that be say , I find the Microsoft Wireless Desktop 3000 with the Blue Trac mouse to be a better feel and it be easier to type . it have be order and will hopefully arrive tomorrow as a replacement . 2 star on this one , a new review of the 3000 in a few day . +519 Keyboard POS 5 a great product the only thing that would make it outstanding would be blacklight the keyboard and a caplock light +13 Keyboard POS 4 I select this product because I be a fan of Logitech Keyboards and mouse . I pay $ 79.00 for a similar product almost five year ago and be very happy with the quality and value of the product . at $ 39.99 , I be willing to take a chance on this product due to my past experience with Logitech product . I be not disappoint at all with this combo . the keyboard be solid and have good `` feel '' , not cheap or noisy . the laser mouse be very fast and accurate . so fast , that I have to adjust the tracking speed down from my former optical mouse . I have to turn the receiver for this combo be very , very , small . it be so small it come with a label and plastic attach so that you do not lose it while unpack . it can be place in the front port of you desktop , or can be leave in a side port of you laptop . all in all , a very good deal , the quality and value be as I expect , and it even come with battery for both . +750 Keyboard POS 5 I use a Mac and I like ergo keyboard . unfortunately , Apple do not make any ergo keyboard . this m keyboard be one of the few pc keyboard out there that also have the Apple logo on the box - mac be fully support and the include cd contain driver for the Mac . installation be easy and all the special key work right out of the box . I be not a big fan of special key but now I find myself use volume up\/down and play\/pause button which work seamlessly with iTunes . there be five shortcut key label 1-5 across the top . you can set these up to launch five of you frequently use application . these provide mac-like simplicity in the setup - you simply push the key and it give you a dialog box where you can browse and select the application you want to assign to the key . once that be do , press the key launch the application . to change application , there be a ` star ' key that pop up the key setting dialog box for all 5 key . you can also reprogram the other special key -lrb- e.g. volume up\/down , calculator , home , search , mute etc. -rrb- if you want . the zoom function -lrb- a two way ` slide key ' you can push up or down -rrb- , located right in the middle of the keyboard , be pretty useful too . it work great with web page , let I quickly make the font bigger or smaller . it also work with iPhoto -lrb- let I zoom into and out of picture -rrb- and many other app . the wrist pad be non-detachable but it blend in nicely with rest of the keyboard . it be also build with a high quality material -lrb- not the cheap rubbery stuff that make the wrist sweat -rrb- . they key themselves have a good typing feel to they - they be not soft or tinny but pretty well-defined - just the kind I like . definitely try it out since in the end that be the feature you 'll use the most : -rrb- . key-press feel be a matter of preference and I have buy keyboard -lrb- Adesso Ergo for Mac come to mind -rrb- that I just could not use . couple of thing to remember when use on a mac - the command , option and control key -lrb- Mac terminology -rrb- be label the pc-way -lrb- i.e. alt , Ctrl etc. -rrb- . there be no cd-eject button , but I set-up the ` home ' key in the top left corner to eject the CD . also , watch out for the ' f lock ' key next the f1-f12 function key - it be a toggle key that change the function of f1-f12 . +319 Keyboard NEG 1 I usually do not bother write a review but for this specific item I feel like it be a duty to do it . I be one of those early adopter that buy anything new and never return they regardless of if they suck or not . I be very excite to get that brand spanking new Google tv but what a appointment it have be , the Google tv do not bring anything to the table period , it do not a little of every but very poorly . the build in web browser be useless since you can not install any plug in nor open a new tab , the keyboard do not have a light build in so forget try to use it in a dark room , the app ... well there be pretty much nonexistent , no storage space ... if you goal be to watch a bunch of movie and video on the internet you can just forget about it , the Google tv just will not find anything for you . it be a great idea but fail execution , use it for a week then return it . +88 Keyboard NEG 1 I order one of these and receive it a couple of day later . the packaging be not very impressive and the unit look like it have be open , return , and resell to I . I pull it out of the box and the first thing I notice be that the unit itself and its `` case '' seem to be make of very flimsy plastic . I plug the thing it and blah ! I be able to type two character before it die . so , I call the company , get a rma number and ship it back to they . a week later , I get my new unit . same unprofessional packaging , and this time the `` case '' be miss . while that be irritating , I figure I could call and get a new case . unfortunately , this new unit , while I could indeed type with it , have uneven pressure on all of the key , the case still seem really flimsy , and the usb plug fall like it be about to fall apart every time I plug or unplug it from the computer . I decide to return the item and get my money back . I call and talk to the CEO , who seem a nice enough woman . she tell I to send it back and FAX she the courier 's receipt as I have do before and she would refund my money . I send it back . fax the receipt as request and wait . no refund . call several time . no refund . finally , after two or three month , I get ahold of the CEO lady again -lrb- whatever she name be -rrb- and ask about my refund . she claim that they have never receive either of the unit I have send back and that they could not refund my money . after call the courier and track down the package and get information on who have sign for the package -lrb- one of the signature belong to the CEO -rrb- , I call she back and fax she this new information . finally , after a brief argument in which she say , `` well , we do not have they so I can not give you a refund '' and I say , `` I have proof that you receive they . what you do with they after that be none of my concern '' , she finally relent and give I my money back . I think the construction of these unit be very poor and the customer service be worse . I would steer clear of this company if I be you . +950 Keyboard POS 5 as a software developer for more year then I care to remember I purchase this illuminated keyboard because I sometimes have to provide software support during the night and I hate to turn on a lot of light . this keyboard seem to be of excellent quality , I like the position of the multi-media key on the left and right side of the keyboard . the back lighting be very easy on my eye and make use this keyboard in low light condition very pleasant . I be use this keyboard on a desktop computer with Windows Vista and there have be no issue with the operating system and this keyboard . I would strongly recommend this keyboard to anyone with a interest in a illuminate keyboard . +236 Keyboard POS 5 we buy dozen of these for the school 's lab and they be so popular that we end up cannibalize they for faculty and staff office . they smaller size make they ideal for tight situation . they be reliable , have a nice touch , and be the easiest keyboard I have find to clean . I use a larger wireless Logitech wave keyboard for my main computer but prefer this mini keyboard for smaller computer that I use less often . I have to buy my own , however , because the state-issued one keep get swipe for emergency office use . they can not have this one . what I would like but have not be able to find from a reputable dealer be a small transparent acrylic keyboard , ideally light up , possibly in some fluorescent color . +902 Keyboard NEG 2 - there be only one CONTROL button . - the CONTROL , ALT , DEL and WINDOWS key be really small - I hardly ever hit they unless I look down at the keyboard . - del be right next to the left-arrow key - so you 'll often hit it when all you want to do be move the cursor leave . - the stupid tilde-backquote key be right between the space bar and alt - senseless . all in all , what I have experience be this - for `` plain '' textual typing , it be fine - all the alphabet key be very usable , as be SHIFT and ENTER . backspace be fine too . but the navigation key be very hard to use . and combine that with the point I list above , it be one big disappointment . it be SO short , unnecessarily so - the maker could easily have add 2-3 inch and make it much more usable . as a chronic rsus sufferer , I want a truncate keyboard that allow I to keep my mouse closer - even a normal keyboard without the numpad section would have be just fine . this keyboard be overkill ; it sacrifice too much useability in try to be smaller . I advise against buy without try . and if you do try it , keep in mind the various kind of typing and application you work with - document , email , programming tool etc. . it be definitely not programmer-friendly . +919 Keyboard POS 5 this be exactly what I be look for . I buy a m-audio 88e key station Keyboard Controller and it do not come with the midi cable -lrb- pawn shop -rrb- . this one work great and be not all to pricey . definitely would recommend . +58 Keyboard NEG 2 the good point of this product have be touch on in other review . I will not rehash they here . I own this keyboard for approximately 3 month . it operate well , although I do have problem with the amount of desk real estate it require - it be a large keyboard . this be a minor issue , however . the main problem I have be that one day the number key refuse to work . it be not a software issue , as I have try it on other computer with no success . I have own other Logitech product and they be nice until they break after a few month . I have buy 2 headset , this keyboard , and a mouse that periodically glitch on I from Logitech . with the shoddy performance I have experience I can not recommend they product to anyone . +748 Keyboard POS 5 this be a great keyboard it be bright very lightweight and the keyboard be just the right size . if you look for a wireless keyboard this one have it all ! +341 Keyboard POS 5 I buy this product to protect my new MacBook pro 's keyboard . I absolutely love this product . the skin be definitely not aqua . it be more turquoise . the letter on the skin do not match the keyboard letter either . it fit really well and do it be job of keep the key and keypad clean . I would definitely recommend buy this product for you computer . +440 Keyboard POS 4 work with max 4 simultaneous key press in counter-strike source . recommend for gaming . w+shift+space which be duck jump in source work flawlessly . keyboard be lightweight but do not move around due to excellent rubber foot . key be laptop style slim form factor . useful function key . logitech claim 3 year battery life on normal usage . this keyboard seem to be a winner ! highly recommend . +683 Keyboard NEG 1 I have purchase and return three of these keyboard in a desperate attempt to make this work out . the good part be the cushion wrist rest , which be why I really want this to work out . the bad part be ... . the spacebar be awful . hard to depress , sticky , just awful . why can they not split the spacebar into two key ? seem a simple solution for a terrible design . next be the `` y '' key , which seem to be just as bad as the spacebar , with exactly the same issue . I have a older version of this keyboard , and the key on the old keyboard be closer together , or for some reason , just easier to depress . the spacing of the key on this keyboard seem too large -lrb- ? -rrb- for my hand to get a good , comfortable pace . also , it be loud . the key be loud . loud enough to wake the dog . I be constantly look for way to type more `` quietly . '' I be so disappointed . I try to make it work . I buy three of these , only to subsequently return they . I spend hour and hour typing all day for work , and not be able to find a good ergonomic keyboard be most depressing . +12 Keyboard NEG 1 do yourself a favor and save yourself the 90 + dollar . this thing be a flimsy , cheap plastic piece of junk that rely on the pressure of two plastic piece , compress together to keep itself attach to you chair . I be very excite to try this out , since I renovate my office a bit and remove my formal desk , and now need a place to rest my kbd and mouse . talk about depressing . the box it come in have better production value . first , the keyboard tray be completely separate from the rest of the mount item , so at any second the thing be bump , jiggle , or downright fall off during normal movement . not to mention it be literally a black piece of plastic no better or bigger than the smallest , cheapest cut board you could buy for you kitchen . next , the armrest mount , when mount evenly have a little piece that fit inside in order to adjust for the curve of you chair armrest . this piece will fall out with hardly any provocation . also , the bracket that hold the front and back in place be do so with screw - that 's right - it be not like they be adjustable , smooth piece that snap into place like you would expect - you literally have to take these small rough edge bracket and screw they into the bottom of the armrest cover . and because you be simply hold they in place with pressure - guess what - any bump against the back of the armrest cover and the whole thing slide forward dump everything in the floor . oh and do I mention that if you use this on a chair with a wood frame you just scratch the hell out of the wood ? yea - you do . additionally , the armrest sit in so far that unless you have a super-sized chair base , or be anorexic , you can expect to not be able to spread out , or sit as comfortably as you like , or on some chair , literally have this thing dig into you . I could see where you basic , run of the mill , 30 dollar office chair with a short back and tiny armrest would probably do ok with this thing -lrb- but then , why would you need it since you would probably have a desk to go with that kind of chair -rrb- , but for 90 dollar - I mean really - 90 buck ?? - you would be better off get one of those laptop station with the beanbag bottom that fit in you lap for half the price . I literally put this thing on three different chair , test each one for a full hour or so of normal operation , and throw it back in the box . mobo should be ashamed of themselves for put such a price tag of this crap . this be not worth it , but spend you money how you want . +980 Keyboard POS 5 I recently purchase this item for my work station . all I have to do be plug in and go . it come with software , but I do not need it . the keyboard be soft and the key do not pop , ultra quiet . the mouse be smooth over the pad . the roller on the mouse can be click to smooth or notch wheel . overall this product be worth the money if you like to have trouble free typing . +732 Keyboard NEU 3 I own a 17 '' MacBook pro and I order this keyboard cover think that it would be exactly the same as that picture . black on the key but clear in between and get the same effect as if there be no skin on the keyboard at all . what I receive be a black skin that cover the whole keyboard area ... and its all black . there be no clear space and the letter nor the light from the cap lock illuminate . on the plus side , it take a bit of get use to but it do not intrude whatsoever from typing . for $ 3 -lrb- ? -rrb- its worth the price , but it be a bit misleading compare to what be show in the picture . +864 Keyboard NEG 1 these keyboard be cute , portable , and spill-proof , but indestructable they be not . I have own several and , after send two of they back for replacement , wind up throw they all out . after a couple of month -lrb- at best -rrb- several of the key stop work , render they useless . this have happen too many time to be a fluke . a indestructable keyboard that fail under normal use ? do not bother . +569 Keyboard POS 5 this product make my palm top as easy to use as a mini laptop . paired with software that synce with my desktop word processor , I be able to easily take note at meeting -lrb- have a almost full size keyboard -rrb- and able to modify calendar entry etc with ease . prior to have the keyboard , I would usually take paper note with the hope I would remember to put they on my desktop when I be home and later sync with the palm . it make the palm much more useful . well worth the price +873 Keyboard NEG 1 the quality -lrb- as in sturdiness -rrb- of this product seem fine . what be not obvious in the description be that to use it require -lrb- for all practical purpose -rrb- that you modify the usefulness of you chair . the HUGE hard plastic piece that you bolt onto each arm of the chair transform what have be a comfortable chair into a horribly uncomfortable chair . if you armrest be at all padded , you 'll now be elbow down on a totally non-flexible hard plastic surface that be a few inch higher than you have . another non-obvious drawback be the unfortunate fact that you `` work surface '' just sit atop the hard plastic replacement -lrb- when open forward . -rrb- I suffer through three day of this thing before remove it and boxing it up . if I would keep all of the `` original '' packaging , I would return this piece of junk . the other curiously unfortunate feature be that the work surface be not flat -- at all . I use a Apple wireless keyboard and Magic Trackpad . the keyboard -lrb- which be wonderfully small -rrb- rock back and forth as you type . there be not any `` sweet spot '' on this thing that allow all four corner to be in the same plane . in my opinion , this product be a major failure on several level . I most definitely would advise against it ; especially if personal comfort be even slightly important to you . +769 Keyboard POS 5 I have buy a keyboard by the same company that be $ 40 cheaper , but hate it because the backlighting be too weak to light the key in dim light , and there be no separate arrow key apart from the one that share the numeric keypad . the key would light ok for very dark condition , but dim lighting be a killer . this keyboard have incredible tactile response - my typographical error be fewer than before , the LIGHTING be superior in all ambient lighting , and the unit feel substantial , weighting several time as much as the generic keyboard . I love the fact that it be get five dedicated key for record you own keystroke , and the build in usb port be great for use with my blue Snowball microphone . if you use a keyboard a lot , I assure you that this one be worth every single penny . the only problem I have have with it be that once the `` f6 '' key stick , but I jiggle it , and it be be fine since then . maybe I be just lucky , but this keyboard be the best value that I have ever have for the money . +498 Keyboard NEU 3 so i get the keyboard and be very excite since i have destroy my old keyboard with water lol . so anyways i get it all hook up and all but a few of the key work on it and unfortunatly the six key on both the keyboard and the number pad do not work but other than that its great , i think i can live with the few key not work but it would have be nice have all the key work +453 Keyboard NEU 3 I know for fact my model laptop be the same and the case only fit on the bottom , it stay on the top but one corner refuse to snap on . as for the keyboard skin , it be clear , and it fit very loosely on the key , while it do the job it look like someone throw a giant condom on my keyboard . overall the shipping be a day later then predict and the case would be nice if it fully fit . +768 Keyboard POS 5 I love this little product ! look great on the macbook pro and be really just like the keyboard , but keep my cat 's hair from get in the key . great feel , I do not notice any problem with typing . great price too ! ship quickly . thanks ! +938 Keyboard POS 5 I search this keyboard out . these be the type that we use at work and be the most basic keyboard . if you like you keyboard `` Plain Jane '' , then this be for you . my three kid give this a workout and no problem yet . +753 Keyboard POS 5 really work great write this now with this mini keyboard . I connect my laptop to my hd tv and can operate this from my bed without any problem , easy to setup in win 7 , fit in my hand so light . use it to write , as a mouse and be a joystick for my angry bird . shipment be really fast and well pack . I recommend this product and this seller . +310 Keyboard POS 5 I use to have the microsoft ergonomic keyboard , the big white one with the split keyboard , and it be awesome until it stop typing b 's and z 's . I be go to buy another but i figure it be about time to try something new . that be when i run across this keyboard . I be not sure if it would work well and i be especially weary of the battery thing . I mean what good be a computer without a keyboard or one that die in the middle of use it ? but so far everything have be great . no lag time . no battery issue . it even come with some handy little volume and function button . if i have to complain about one thing it would be the ` wave ' keyboard . I like the ` split ' keyboard better because i be a bigger guy who do not want to have my elbows\/wrists all smush together to type . it be not bad , but its definitely more strain than before . other than that its be great . +508 Keyboard NEG 1 I switch over to bluetooth keyboard and mouse from the lenovo after 6 mouth of use . i be shock how fast the bluetooth keyboard be compare to this . the rollerball be bad on my hand and do not move that far . +323 Keyboard POS 5 I love my mac book and i treat it well . this help keep my keypad clean and it add a fun color pop as well . I like it so much i end up get another color ... for fun ! +29 Keyboard POS 5 it take quite a while to ship , but it be exactly what we need . very easy to install and replace the broken one . I be worry about do it myself , but it be easy and work perfect now . +992 Keyboard NEG 1 top row of key do not work . supplier say the return have to go to the manufacturer but there be no manufacturer list on the packaging . keyboard be cheap but the shipping rate be inflate . they have a 30 % restock fee and I have to pay the return shipping . a return just be not worth it . beware purchase from Amazon where they be not the supplier . Amazon do a excellent job of service but only when they be the supplier . +73 Keyboard POS 5 this be a amazing keyboard . a excellent look and quiet key . some reviewer say key wear off and I have have this product for about a month with heavy use -lrb- I work from home so it see 10 - 14 hour of use per day , plus gaming -rrb- and I have have no issue . even if a couple key wear off I will still love this keyboard . the red glow be perfect for play game in a dark room , it be not distract at all . if you be look for a impressively work and look keyboard look no further . +720 Keyboard POS 4 I be use the keyboard for a computer I have hook up to my live room television , when I be sit on my couch . need to get a usb extension cord to make sure the keyboard could see the receiver , but after that it be work pretty well . miss letter sometimes when I get in a fast typing groove , but overall , it work great for its purpose , be a convenient keyboard and mouse pad together that I can use across the room . a standard keyboard and mouse be definitely better , mean more precise , and less miss , if you situation would allow for it . +217 Keyboard POS 5 I love my kindle ! I read more than before because I always have it with I , load with book for every mood . I especially love that I can download a travel guide in it and not have to carry the paper book when I walk around touring . I can download map in there too . it have so many nice feature ; I particularly love the push button dictionary and make the type larger . I wish the image be in color and that the device have a light of its own , but not if those sacrifice the light weight feature and long battery life . +263 Keyboard POS 5 if you be like I and use you ThinkPad every day , you have get very use to the touch and speed of the keyboard and trackpoint -lrb- the red dot -rrb- . this keyboard have the same touch with a add numeric keyboard . the back edge of the keyboard also have 2 usb port -lrb- near the f4 & f5 key -rrb- . I never check to see if they support usb 2.0 though . one thing that be not include be a power button , but now I be get really picky . all in all , another excellent keyboard from IBM . -lrb- yes , it still have the IBM logo on it . -rrb- +598 Keyboard NEG 1 this work fine for a few week , now it miss keystroke , the mouse `` hang '' on the screen and it be unusable . the only way it `` kinda '' work be with a usb extension cable and the receiver about 2 '' away from the keyboard , even then it be hit and miss . look on the logitech forum , this be happen with a bunch of people and there be no fix . +324 Keyboard POS 5 this be my very first ergonomic keyboard and it be my favorite . I have try many other by the same company and other company as well . however , this be my favorite because it truly be comfortable and the key be easy to work with , in other word they do not stick like some other . find out recently they be discontinue this model but I find it on amazon.com and I receive it in excellent condition and on time . very grateful for that ! I highly recommend this product . +131 Keyboard POS 5 Have have the keyboard for a few week now . it be easy to configure and have be work well ever since . +540 Keyboard POS 5 the white\/clear be perfect . look clean on my Mac and I do not have to worry -lrb- as much -rrb- about spilling my drink on my computer . highly recommend ! +0 Keyboard POS 4 it be a very good keyboard , very full of feature , just be sure to buy the bluetooth version ... and try to use some other bluetooth adapter to the computer ... it be not really a big deal , but when the keyboard crash -lrb- which be kinda part of the regular use -rrb- you just have to turn it off and then turn it on again ... be that simple -lrb- : you must have large hand if you want to use this keyboard as you smartphone keyboard , but it be still ok for I . the reason why I give only 4 star be because the lack of cell in the battery , do not last enough I might say ... the light in this keyboard be truly awesome !!!! you will be able to see all the key perfectly , no matter what ... -lrb- : overall I strongly recomend the keyboard . +692 Keyboard POS 5 this thinkg work great ! I stream tv show through my computer onto my tv . I use thing as a remote so i can do everything from my couch ! the battery last a very long time too ! it hasnt die on I yet and its be leave on for 5 day . +942 Keyboard POS 5 I purchase the Ultimate keyboard at my local Fry 's electronics store . unfourtunately it be a open box item and I despise that type of item but be the last one and I could not be bother to go to a different store . I open the item and check it closely for any scratch , ding , key broken\/mixed , etc. . it look as if it be not use . note the box look very use . prior history : I have look over many `` gaming keyboard '' produce by various company . the g11 by logitech look like it would suit my need and have alot of Macro key as well . when I use it , it feel a bit cheap and I could not stand how far to the leave it extend as I miss my esc key alot due to it . aside from that the vengence by Corsair be nice , I like the seperate color key , but it do not fit the aesthetics I want . I want a sleek keyboard , with loud click like 80 's style keyboard -lrb- as I really enjoy the sound -rrb- , backlit key , and macro key . there be a standard keyboard on sale that sound great , but no macro key : -lrb- Currently : I have be use this keyboard for a little over 2 week , I have customize the key to fit my need -lrb- cap lock disabled and set for a Ventrilo Push to talk button . -rrb- Macros to help my mmo need and repetitive datum entry need . as I normally work late at night the back light to the keyboard be very nice , and the clack of the key create a really nice audio sensation . the sound arent overpower but almost reassure you hit the right key with speed . I be able to double click the keye very quickly with little pressure which be perfect in the necessary game I play . the extra port on the side of the keyboard be perfect for quick access to my computer without go behind my machine . pro : audible clack upon press key backlit keyboard macro key reassignment\/disable\/program launch quick and interactive installation be quick and easy Easy access port on side con : key may be to loud for other -lrb- not I -rrb- can not change the light color for certain game mode -lrb- g11 do -rrb- note : I have not check my space bar or any overlap of key , but I have not have a problem so far . I would reccomend this keyboard , and purchase it again , despite its steep cost . +412 Keyboard POS 4 we be look around for a wireless keyboard and mouse . when I come across this and read the review , we decide to purchase it . it be a great price to have a keyboard and mouse together in one package . have work very well ! +315 Keyboard POS 4 have be use this keyboard for few day and so far really happy with it . it be simple , no extra button to clutter the keyboard , key be of a comfortable height . a bit quieter than a regular keyboard maybe , but it be louder than I expect after have read the review . a couple of thing I wish be different in this otherwise perfect keyboard : - the font on the key kind of bother I , the letter be bold and too round - this give a comic sans-y feeling which I think do not look very good . - the top row start with the esc key be a bit shift to the right compare to the bottom row . it be not too hard to reach the key after you get use to it , but it be significantly harder to do button combination like alt-f4 and ctrl-f4 , compare to other keyboard . +360 Keyboard POS 4 `` pro like I '' would know that a full piano be 88 key , not 81 . generally keyboard come in 61 , 76 or 88 key . 61 be more than ample for a beginner keyboard in this pricerange . the sound be nice , but not fantastic . for the price range they blow away the similar casio , especially for piano . if you be look for a entry level keyboard this be you best bet . +146 Keyboard NEG 1 I be a fan of the Logitech Wave keyboard which have a great key feel and little noise . I need a smaller keyboard to pack for a extended trip , so I get this . it be sadly much inferior . the key be not very smooth and quite noisy . in addition , I have grief get the software to work on my Mac . -lrb- you need the software to bring the command key to the right place and to get `` num lock '' to work . -rrb- I have to pair the device to its receiver on a Windows machine , and then I could not find any software for the Mac to get the key remap . the Logitech web site be a mess . at one place , it only offer Windows driver . another have a option for Mac software but the download button do not work for either Firefox or Safari . I call support today and they confirm . it be Windows only . why ??? +624 Keyboard NEG 1 it be be a hour now and blue tooth be still search for device , follow direction to the letter . device be faulty crap . do not waste you money . +273 Keyboard NEU 3 hello , I buy this item from my University 's computer store at a severe discount down to $ 40 . at this price , the combination be a steal , and I think it will be spectacular once I can connect my laptop to a large tv . there be some minor issue with setup , but all be fix by reconnect each component . = hardware = the material use to make the keyboard be not quite at $ 100 standard , but the mouse be attractive and have some good attention to detail . I be currently write this review on the keyboard , and I must say that it be a improvement over my laptop 's keyboard . there be good resistance and travel on the key , and the keyboard be equip with plenty of extra function , as a laptop 's keyboard might . = functionality = the mouse have a laser sensor , and while it register very slight lag when compare to a wire gaming mouse -lrb- which be to be expect -rrb- . it have a very slight difficulty register extremely fast swipe , so this will not be use for gaming under the table sensor functionality . for daily use , I be certain that I would forget that it be wireless . the air sensor use a accelerometor , and be very accurate for navigate the desktop . with a distance of approximately 30 foot , the mouse work passably , with some deterioration in accuracy . I do not believe that it would reach its advertised range of 100 foot without severe accuracy deterioration . I have not test the keyboard range , but I expect it will outperform the mouse . the mouse software be fairly intuitive , and allow for mapping of many function to the proprietary gesture and media key located behind the scroll wheel . when active , these function fairly well . give its unique accelerometer feature , I test its performance as a gaming tool . initially , I expect that it would add a interesting dimension for non-competitive gaming , as it be quite accurate . I do not predict that it will be sufficient for competitive gaming , because of the limitation of turn , understandably . upon play the first two chapter of l4d on easy mode with the air sensor functionality , I be impress by the accuracy . as expect , I would never use the option in competitive gaming , but it hold up fairly well . from this information , i expect that daily use will be fine , give the level of accuracy achieve in game . for hardcore gamer , as I use to be , this be still not as good as a regular table mouse , but probably the closest to have wii-style gameplay on the pc . as I be typing this , I be notice that the keyboard will occasionally spaz randomly , perhaps due to quick typing . it do not seem to be much of a bother , but should be note . = BOTTOM line = overall , for $ 40 I be satisfy with the purchase . however , the quality definitely do not garner a $ 100 + pricetag . +596 Keyboard POS 5 third cordless I buy ... 3 time a charm , this keyboard rock !!! the only thing miss be voice recognition ! mouse be very comfortable and have several setup option . if you be look for a great cordless interface , this be the one to get ! great reception from any room and access to my music at the touch of a button , can not ask for more then this product give you !!! +505 Keyboard POS 5 I have not use mine in year , but I can tell you that I seriously abuse mine and it take a beating and keep on work . it now sit in a storage unit 1400 mile away from I . consider the wireless Adesso . +71 Keyboard NEG 1 after have this keyboard include with my tablet pc , I start use it regularly in the office for the past couple of week -lrb- do not use keyboard much first couple week -rrb- but be have intermittent issue with the connectivity\/syncing , not to mention the lag mention in previous review when it do work -lrb- I could have live with that though -rrb- . I would get 1-3 day of functionality before it would just stop work ... I think it be a computer\/software\/windows 7 issue so i would uninstall and re-install and it would work again for 1-3 day -lrb- 1.5 day be the average and yes i change the battery too -rrb- and after a excruciatingly long wait time with asus to get resolution -lrb- that be another review ... -rrb- they say `` we 'll send a email with return instruction '' ... the email never come ... and the keyboard finally stop work altogether -lrb- computer could no longer discover -rrb- when I call back they say the Microsoft 6000 keyboard be not cover in the warranty - it be one week past 30 day coverage ... never again for the MSFT keyboard or ASUS for that matter ... poor product poor customer service . +805 Keyboard NEU 3 product be useable , though it do not adhere to my key board as well as I would like it to . not cling to the key very well and the print on the guard be not exactly center with the letter on my key . otherwise , a fine purchase for the price and very timely delivery . +857 Keyboard NEG 1 product be hard to use . not really the buyer problem but all together the product be not useful and be a waste of moeny +39 Keyboard POS 5 this keyboard be the Das Model s Ultimate Silent , mean it have Cherry MX Brown switch and no lettering on the key -lrb- they be blank , force you to learn how to touch type -rrb- . the mechanical switch in this keyboard be great , they do not make the click noise at the actuation point -lrb- halfway down the key-press , when the switch be activate -rrb- , however they still have the same tactile bump as the non-silent version of the keyboard that use the MX Blue switch . the reset point of the MX brown be almost the same as the actuation point , so it be very easy to double tap the key as you can `` float '' at the halfway point and just slightly lift and depress the key repetitively . if you bottom out the key as you type -lrb- you press they all the way down so that the key hit the back-plate -rrb- , the keyboard will make some noise , however if you learn to touch type you will not bottom out the key , you will just press they halfway down until you feel the tactile bump let you know the key press have be read , and then lift you finger back up again , this allow you to type with much less effort and mess less noise . if you be gaming you will probably find yourself bottom out the key more frequently , so the noise level will be equivalent to those of a standard rubber dome keyboard -lrb- e.g. logitech g15 -rrb- . this keyboard come with a usb to ps2 adapter so that you can avoid the limitation of the usb interface , where you be limitt to 6-key rollover -lrb- meaning if you press more than 6 key at once whilst typing furiously or more commonly , gaming , it will only register the first 6 key depress . -rrb- if however , you be use the include ps2 adapter , it support full n-key rollover -lrb- nkro -rrb- . with nkro support , you can press all 104 key simultaneously and it will register all of they . this be very helpful once you start break 100 wpm or if you be a serious gamer play RTS or FPS game like Starcraft 2 where miss clicks\/types be very unforgiving . this keyboard be you standard mechanical keyboard with all of the expect feature -lrb- NKRO , good tactile feedback , standard layout , and gold connector -rrb- . it do not glow in the dark , it do not have a lcd screen , and it lack macro feature or media control , however it do what keyboard be design to do : allow you to input datum in a reliable and fast manner . +808 Keyboard POS 5 I love this keyboard ! this be , in fact , the second of this model of keyboard I have purchase -lrb- for different computer , the first keyboard be still in use -rrb- . I highly recommend to anyone to get one of these keyboard for themselves !! : -rrb- +77 Keyboard POS 4 I have recently be give the opportunity to work at home . by which I mean , the boss tell I that `` nobody in this office want to look at you dumb face any more '' . ` Opportunity ' , ` ostracism ' . it be all semantics . anyway , if my face and I be go to work at home , I want to do it in comfort . so I set about make myself a ergonomic space to work in . if I really want to cast off the shackle of workplace injury , I have to escape from the desk . with this keyboard , I can type in any position -- sit in my chair , hold it in my lap , lie on the floor , or stretch out on the couch . especially stretch out on the couch . grant , I can not see the monitor from there , but as long as the keyboard be in my hand -- or by my foot , or under my head while I be doze -- then I be ` work ' . a awful lot of my email start out `` Dear fksannnnnnn ... '' , but that be a small price to pay for eliminate repetitive motion injury and wonky back spasm . awesome product ! +5 Keyboard POS 5 I buy this keyboard\/mouse combo because I need a way to play my computer game that be display via hdmus to my big screen tv . this combo have a huge reach and I have never have a issue with the signal be drop or laggy . I buy these somewhere around 5 month ago and the original battery be still display as full with pretty heavy daily use . never see a mouse like this one , do not have the typical red laser eye for tracking , have no light at all actually , but it literately work on anything include my jeans . Logitech do it again , I be weary of spend this kind of cash on a keyboard and mouse , but I be very happy I do . +475 Keyboard POS 5 THis be a fabulous product !! I be in the market for a new mouse and keyboard and do love good design . what sell I on the product be the fabulous review . everyone be right on the money . this be a easy product to install , it be virtually plug and play and contrary to the other review , it not have a usb ready port make it more compatible with old Pentium 1 's that be kick around . I would recommend this highly to anyone , and I will be purchase one for my sig . other . +45 Keyboard POS 4 overall the mk710 combo be a great value . the keyboard be one of the more comfortable I have type on . the mouse work great . it fit my hand perfectly , but I do have larger hand . the fast scrolling feature on the mouse be a real time saver , but there be time where it have be a annoyance when I accidentally slightly bump the scroll wheel while surfing . setup be very easy . I be a snob when it come to my keyboard and a mouse , and I be not disappoint with this purchase at all in the first month of usage . +629 Keyboard POS 4 I have have no problem , the keyboard be good and I enjoy typing on it . +128 Keyboard POS 5 I will not review this as a desktop keyboard\/mouse , even though my feeling be that this would also be a excellent set for that purpose . I will only review it for the purpose it have serve in my own household , that of a home Theater PC -lrb- HTPC -rrb- keyboard . my couch sit perhaps 12-15 ' from my entertainment center , which be where my htpc sit . what I want in a keyboard be : \* Thin \* Lightweight -lrb- very important ! -rrb- \* inexpensive \* excellent wireless range \* a full-sized layout since I be also play some game -lrb- especially FPS 's -rrb- on it this keyboard meet every one of those requirement . first , this keyboard be unbelievably thin . next to a lot of other keyboard , it be sort of like compare a Macbook Air to a conventional notebook . sit on the end table , it be pretty low profile . more importantly , it be ultra-light . when I pick it up from beside I to use , pick it up one-handed even , it do not break my arm to lift it over to my lap . I must emphasize what a big deal this be . think of you angle -- sit upright , reach out to you side with one arm to pick something up from end table level and lifting from the side . a moderate amount of weight put a lot of strain on the shoulder . none of that with this keyboard . the price be also right . I actually buy mine at Fry 's for $ 34 and feel like I be get a bargain for the package . I expect to spend that on a decent lightweight wireless keyboard alone , and the mouse be a real bonus . Wireless range be critical , as a couple of heavier desktop keyboard I have at home already be fizzle out more than a few foot from the computer . this one just work fine all the way across the room . one small annoyance : it do not work quite as smoothly when the usb dongle be plug into the back of the computer which sit on the floor . it sometimes miss a beat . run a short $ 3 usb extension cable to place that dongle up about 3 ' from the ground and without a computer and other junk between I and it , but without move it any closer to I , totally solve that . now I can lean back and it never miss anything . finally , I have mull over the idea of get a smaller compact keyboard as originally this be strictly a htpc and you do not generally need a full keyboard for one of those . as I have also cave into the temptation to put a high performance video card in the system for some big-screen gaming , I figure I would probably need a full keyboard . for this , it work splendidly . I can play left4dead 2 or Fallout Vegas as comfortably as at my desk and enjoy the gigantic view of my 50 '' tv . as for the feel of the key , it have the right amount of tactile feel , respond brilliantly -lrb- some cheap keyboard miss a keypress now and then or do not depress smoothly -rrb- , and generally feel very solid . I would be please to have this on my desk if I be not already use to the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic `` Humpback '' model 4000 keyboard with the split in the middle , which I have be use for many year . on the mouse : it do not have the assortment of extra side button that I like on my Logitech mouse that be at my desk , nor the nice variable-spinability scrollwheel that can be make to be clutch or to spin freely . it be pretty much a basic 3 button laser mouse with scrollwheel , but for that , it work beautifully . a laser mouse tend to work better on more surface than you old-school red-eye lead mouse , and this one certainly work on nearly everything . that be , it work on any mousepad , the end table , the coffee table , the couch , a piece of paper , a newspaper , a magazine , my thigh with or without long pants , the front of my shirt ... whatever I need it to work on to get that pointer over to the xbmc icon to get it kick on so that my harmony remote can take over . if I need to use it for a while , though , it get the job do very competently . this be a combination that I recommend to anyone . I wish I would have get mine for the price this be currently list on Amazon , which at the moment be about $ 10 less than I pay at my local Atlanta Fry 's . as for durability , I have be use it heavily for 9 month so far and it still work like new . of course , I do tend to use a keyboard for pretty much a decade or more , so hopefully this one will live up to that expectation . +134 Keyboard POS 4 I be concern when I order this keyboard that it be not original from Toshiba , but I buy it anyway because of the price . it fit perfectly , be easy to install and work perfectly . the only difference between the original one and this one -lrb- other than the `` l '' key quit on the old one -rrb- be that all the key on the new one be glossy . it really do not bother I , just want to let you know , just in case you care . great product , well package , and easy to install . -lrb- I find installation instruction on the net -rrb- . enjoy a keyboard with a `` l '' key finally . +538 Keyboard NEG 2 Works with my Mac Mini , which I be use as a htpc -lrb- home Theatre PC -rrb- . get the keyboard to work after a bootup take multiple try ; you have to press a tiny button on the dongle and then press fn key on the keyboard . that tiny button be a headache , because you can only press it with the help of a pen or tiny screwdriver . I keep my Mac Mini on all the time now so I do not have to deal with that . I also get it to work no problem with a MacBook pro . this despite the fact that the product say it be only Windows compatible . major problem with network interference . ever since bring the wkb-4000 in we house , we household 2.4 ghz 802.11 g wireless network have be go down constantly . -lrb- the keyboard also run on 2.4 ghz . -rrb- the only solution be to powercycle we router -lrb- a Linksys wrt54g -rrb- . at first it seem like commence any activity on the keyboard would instantly knock out the network . then I follow advice find on here and change wireless channel on we router ; that make a slight improvement , now the network go down at unpredictable time . : - \/ basically I be go upstairs to the router to restart it several time a day , and get lot of ill-will from the family ! sometimes the network go down even when the keyboard be not in use . I have resort to physically remove the battery from the keyboard to try to help this . later this week I be upgrade router to the Linksys\/Cisco WRT320N Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router , and put n wireless adapter on the main device in my home . since n run on 5 ghz , that should marginalize the problem from the keyboard , although it will still mess with my ability to leverage the dual band -lrb- i.e. g and n -rrb- power of the router . the key work great on the keyboard , the mouse trackpad not as well . mouse movement be very sluggish , although I can not tell if that be due to interference in the 2.4 gHz band share by the keyboard and the router . but overall , the keyboard be a pleasure to use on my htpc . the feature on the trackpad where a single tap translate to a mouse click be fine with I ; I seldom do a accidental click . I be unimpressed with they customer service so far . I have have a support ticket in they system for almost a week now with no reply . +821 Keyboard NEG 1 order be place 10 day before Christmas . it be now the 14th of January and i be still wait for the item . +339 Keyboard NEG 1 read all the negative review about this product before you make a final decision and trust I , they be all true . once the usb connection in one go out I make the horrible mistake and buy another one . another $ 100 down the drain . that one do the same thing . when I contact the company -lrb- who be located abut 5 mile from my home -rrb- they give I the run around . they website indicate that you can get a ` replacement ' keyboard but they block you from complete the transaction on they site to get it . so , learn from my lesson . DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT . I only give this item 1 star because it would not let I post this review without select something . I do not think it even deserve the one star . +757 Keyboard NEU 3 this be a nice keyboard\/mouse combo , as long as you be okay with the fact that it do NOT have a built-in bluetooth system -lrb- that be , you have to use the little blue-tooth usb adapter and plug it into you machine for these to work -rrb- . I primarily use a mac with they slim bluetooth keyboard , so this be a nice analog to the Apple product . however , for whatever reason , this keyboard always start up with the number lock set to `` on '' in default mode , which make log into you computer via password tricky until you realize it be on and you turn it off . I do not know if this be a os quirk -lrb- I use it with a Windows 7 pc -rrb- or not , but it be a bit inconvenient . otherwise , the product be not bad for the price , and it be actually one of the very view product ad I see that disclose very clearly the fact that it work with the bluetooth usb adapter -lrb- other product try to `` hide '' this fact , which I find extremely annoying - we have to send one back that we purchase and do not realize it be all usb cord-connected and not bluetooth adapt or internal ! -rrb- . +364 Keyboard NEG 1 it come break . I read from some review that it look cheap , but I be not expect this . the connect button do not work , and thus be useless as I could not connect it to my ipad . the usb charge port be misalign with the opening in the casing . finally , put the ipad in and use it as a case be not easy neither to put it , nor get it out . I return this and get a refund . +539 Keyboard POS 5 I work in technology and programming , so I use my keyboard all of the time . so much that I be have `` repetative stress '' problem -lrb- basically , tendonitis in my hand and wrist -rrb- . so I buy the m natural keyboard . I type over 80 word a minute but do not have much trouble get use to the new key arrangement -- which be still a qwerty design , just on a angle . not only be the arrangement more comfortable , but the action on the keyboard be about the best I have use : full range of motion , appropriate key resistance . overall , the keyboard be the fastest , most comfortable I have ever work on . in 6 year , I have not have any tendonitis problem with this keyboard -lrb- but do have they when I be force to use a regular keyboard for too long -rrb- . I be at Amazon today to buy a third one -- I have have to give up the old one with each outdated pc . Hope this help ! +833 Keyboard NEG 1 okay the keyboard be overall fantastic . type like a dream as far as comfort and speed . the additional macro button and function key be a big help as well . however , and this be a big however , I have have a terrible experience so far with razer 's quality control as far as these board be concern . about a week ago the -lrb- leave ctrl -rrb- key on my several day old Razer Blackwidow -lrb- the standard edition , not the ultimate -rrb- just stop work , with no explanation whatsoever , so I swap it out for a old lycosa which I have be use before while I wait for my replacement to arrive -lrb- decide to upgrade to a ultimate from the standard because I want a backlight to help I type in the dark when I game at night -rrb- . so my new board arrive , and I discover shortly after unbox it that it have a second -lrb- t -rrb- key where the -lrb- y -rrb- key should be ... keep in mind that this the second issue I have have in less than a week , with they highest quality board , no less . LONG STORY SHORT , great BOARD , BUT be ready if razer 's quality CONTROL SCREWS you over ! +482 Keyboard POS 5 I get a new Lenovo Thinkpad x201 with docking station to replace my old corporate rig , and alas there be no place for a serial keyboard -lrb- dinosaur -rrb- , so I need a usb keyboard . this keyboard look like it fit the bill , and since I also already have a nice Logitech wireless keyboard\/mouse setup for my home system , I think I would give this keyboard a try too . it work perfectly , install automatically in Windows 7 . it be very comfortable to type on -lrb- fast -rrb- , and have really nice no-slip rubber foot on the bottom . you literally can not go wrong with this as a good basic keyboard . +935 Keyboard POS 5 I have be use computer for 12 year and continue to do so with AT LEAST 7 hour of `` keyboard '' time . I have use countless keyboard and have to admit I be not too fond of Microsoft product . however , this keyboard simply work as it intend to . the engineer at Microsoft put some great thought into this keyboard in term of the shape and natural positioning of the hand . about six month ago I have sharp pain on my wrist and my doctor actually prescribe I specifically to use this keyboard along with a optical mouse as she have good result with she prior patient . she be dead on right . I have be use it for six month and the pain be now go . it take I about a day or so to adjust to the split format . the split layout promote proper typing and the reason why it take I so long be because I type some key with my right hand , when I be suppose to do it with my left hand . no big deal . this be the only keyboard I be use , home and office . it be about time Microsoft get something right ... +726 Keyboard POS 4 with the mixed review I do not know if I should have get this but I be glad I do . typing be so much faster for those longer email and it give you add functionality like the top key on a normal macbook . the only bad thing be that it be not really a `` cover case '' but it just barely fit over the iPad and can slip out very easily . I wish it snap closed but I still love this thing . Matches my white ipad 3 so well . +983 Keyboard NEG 2 when I order this item , it be list as a Rii minus keyboard . what I receive be the favus brand keyboard . Amazon have since correct the listing to accurately represent what you be get . the FAVI keyboard look the same as the Rii , but I do not know if there be any difference . the rius seem to get good review , so I be pretty surprise by the performance of my keyboard . the keyboard & trackpad work fine if I be within about 3 foot from the usb receiver . but if I try to use it in my normal seat position -lrb- ~ 10 foot away -rrb- , I have to hold the keyboard up and forward -lrb- closer to the pc -rrb- in order for it to work . even then , it miss keystroke and mouse movement very often . fortunately I do not have to use it very often . it would drive I crazy if I do not have a media center remote control to handle most interaction with the pc . the usb receiver be install in a front-panel usb jack on my pc , so there should be no reason that I have such bad reception . +94 Keyboard POS 5 this fit beautifully on my keyboard and be very comfortable . the color fade from purple to pink very quickly , which be disappointing , but the overall quality remain high . +170 Keyboard POS 4 plug and play work great . the key be a little bouncy on the keyboard but I be sure that will wear in a bit . mouse feel nice . extremely easy to get start . do not even have to get the computer guru of the house to help ... +232 Keyboard POS 5 Logitech be a great company , with great tech product . they have be make keyboard and mouse for a long time . which be why I be simply amaze at the craptascular installation guide that Logitech provide with they product . here be what you get when you open the box : 1 -rrb- keyboard 2 -rrb- mouse 3 -rrb- one instruction book , one legal mumbo jumbo book . 4 -rrb- a cord that connect to you usb 5 -rrb- \*\* a tiny tiny tiny little thing that look like a extremely mini usb jump drive . \*\* the fifth item I almost throw away with the box because I do not see it . item 5 should be insert into Item 4 . the Instruction Booklet DOES NOT mention this fact . -lrb- in any of the three language the instruction come in -rrb- . the instruction booklet be worthless . to paraphrase : plug it in and you be good to go ! no , it be not that simple . the only thing that I have find that simple and easy to use be a Apple product . this be not that . also , the instruction booklet discuss `` Unity Software '' ... no software cd come in the box , so I be confuse . how would the driver be install ? here be my attempt at provide decent instruction , which Logitech , for all its year of computer accessory experience , fail to do : 1 -rrb- unpack the five item . insert Item 5 into Item 4 . 2 -rrb- plug item 4 into you usb connection on you computer . position the other end of item 4 on you computer desk . 3 -rrb- log into your computer with you exist keyboard and mouse before turn on the new Logitech stuff . Trust I . I be guess Windows automatically find the driver and install it from the internet , but it will not do this if you be not already log in . which mean the new keyboard and mouse will not work and you 'll be stick . 4 -rrb- disconnect you exist -lrb- wire , in my case -rrb- keyboard and mouse . turn on the new Logitech keyboard and mouse . wait a bit for you computer to sense they and make they work . my computer do this `` sense '' and `` make it work '' automatically . Make sure that the Item 4 -lrb- which be the wireless sensor -rrb- be located on you desk in front of you keyboard and mouse , to make the keyboard and mouse detection easier . 5 -rrb- it work ! the Logitech troubleshooting guide really suck too . I be not really sure what you should do if you have trouble with you keyboard and mouse . to quote the IT crowd : `` have you try turn it off and on again ? '' because that be basically the advice the troubleshooting guide give you : check the battery , turn off and on and hope for the best . I try google the `` Logitech unifying software '' when I think that I be miss a installation cd and nothing useful come up . be the product that new ? or just that foolproof ? okay , so you know the installation guide suck , and installation be not as easy peasy as it could be because of the sucky instruction . about the product , though : five star . it look nice , work well , and be price well . plus it be Logitech , so you know it be good quality . ergonomic design -lrb- not really , but comfortable nonetheless -rrb- , feel good in you hand . a note for people who like they keyboard `` clicky '' : this keyboard be not clicky . it be pretty quiet when you type . final take : I like this product , would definitely purchase it again . BUT Logitech really need to up they game and fix the installation guide , and delete reference to `` software '' -- which might make user like I wonder if they package be miss the driver cd . compatibility note : this be a Windows 7 keyboard and mouse . it be NOT MAC COMPATIBLE . the computer I install it on be run Windows xp , and it work well with that too . I would not buy this product if I have a older version of Windows than that . to Logitech : 1 -rrb- the item 5 I reference above be really small , and easy to lose . pack it differently or it will be lose , throw away , or crushed inadvertently . a packing list so people know what be in the box would be great -lrb- no , your installation GUIDE , which be supposed to make this clear , DID not have it list clearly ... Item 5 and 4 be merge in the installation guide -rrb- . 2 -rrb- if item 5 be suppose to be plug into item 4 anyway , why do not you ship it out like that ? 3 -rrb- stop assume that you have design the greatest product in the world and it be so easy to use and wonderful that instruction and troubleshooting be unnecessary . tone down the `` so easy to use , no wonder it be # 1 '' outer packaging language . why ? because customer who have difficulty will feel that Logitech be assume that they lack the intelligence to make they magical keyboard and magical mouse work . 4 -rrb- make the product name `` googleable '' . create a troubleshooting guide and installation faq on you website for this product -lrb- and make it easy to find !! -rrb- . DO NOT use the same horrid book that you include in you packaging , be more helpful and complete in you instruction . a installation video would be nice . 5 -rrb- last thing : when you provide a email address for further information , do not underline it . because the underscore character merge with the underline in you final letter , make the email address unworkable . -lrb- in the letter you send out , the email address seem to have a underscore before the '' @ '' . which be probably incorrect . -rrb- seriously , you have not hire people that know this already ? 6 -rrb- FIX you installation guide and troubleshooting guide . yes , you product be easy to use . but people will have problem . it be you job to help they fix they problem , instead of just tell people that you product be so great it need no troubleshooting since it install like magic . +234 Keyboard POS 4 since it be a droid we know Google will be upgrade and upgrade and upgrade - so maybe in a year it will be worth the full $ 300 . 1 . can not believe how easily it combine verizon , youtube , internet , netflick , pandora , hbo et al into search and give we quality feedback 2 . the keyboard be real quality and have many touch which make surf easier e.g. a key in the upper left corner for mouse click and the mouse pad on the upper right for page transportation - I be not sure lefty 's will be as happy but I will have my son check that out and let you know . 3 . can lay flat on the couch and easily surf the web on my 42 '' plasma tv . and it take up all 42 inch e.g. I like Annenbergs French in Action and I can click on any of the 52 lesson and it be just like be there . 4 . family picture on picasa\/google be full screen and look very good - not as smooth as my 18 '' laptop but great for the whole family to sit around the living room and laugh at how we look year ago . have some trouble boot googletv but a quick call to logiteck solve all my problem politely and professionally . except for the price I be very pleased - but I know that before I spend the $ 300 - and now that I have googletv run it would be much easier for I to make the same purchase again . you have extremely high expectation if you be disappoint with the logiteck\/googletv product . UPDATE : leave hand son be very comfortable with the keyboard . a week after my initial review I still believe this product be quality and I be use it more than my 18.5 '' laptop . +520 Keyboard POS 5 it be also a lightweight and inexpensive alternative to the traditional keypad available . \* initial inspection \*\* test \*\*\* pro 's and con 's \*\*\*\* Conclusion \* the keyboard \/ mouse come as a 3-piece package . in addition to the keyboard and mouse , there be also a small receiver that plug into the usb port . the mouse run on two -lrb- 2 -rrb- aa battery -lrb- supply -rrb- and the keyboard run on two -lrb- 2 -rrb- AAA battery , also supply . \*\* installation take all of 30 seconds from the moment you plug in the receiver . this set be suppose to work exclusively with Windows xp through Windows 7 . as I have a copy of Windows xp nestle in VMWare fusion , this be where I be go to base my review upon , however this set be instantly recognize by the Mac 's OS . go figure . one of the thing you 'll immediately recognize be that the key have just enough resistance and spring to make typing easy and fast . the key be also amply spread apart for bigger finger . on the winxp side , the set work perfectly with Microsoft Office 2000 , Windows Media Player and Roxio Creator 2010 -lrb- at least , the work software in Roxio 's bundle . -rrb- on the Mac side , Microsoft Office 2008 , iTunes , Quicktime and Adobe CS3 be responsive to the keyboard and mouse . in fact , I be write this review from the Mac side . the only difference would be that the shortcut key on the Mac side : command + , be now Windows -lrb- icon -rrb- + , everything else include the volume , light , work the same . a dedicated media key on the header row have to be program before it 'll work for either pc or mac . compare the slimboard to Apple 's `` Wireless Keyboard , '' both key have a wonderful touch response . and , with the exception of Apple 's be make out of aluminum and verbatim 's of plastic , the only really difference be the additional 7 '' that accommodate the traditional pc numeric pad . the difference in height and width be negligible . all thing be equal , with a separate keypad on the Apple , it would be about the same length . \*\*\* pro 's and con 's pro 's + beautiful , glossy finish . + key response be very good . + function with both pc and Intel Mac ! + Lightweight . + Inexpensive . con 's - -lrb- not really a negative criticism , but the keyboard be very long . I would not reduce it to sacrifice the numeric keypad , which be very handy . -rrb- \*\*\*\* whatever one be look for in a wireless keyboard and mouse , chance be it be find here . verbatim `` slimboard '' be both functional and elegant with enough feature that allow for quick and easy access to file and program on you system . this lightweight and inexpensive set stand up nicely against Apple 's slim , wireless keyboard -lrb- which I love -rrb- very nicely . additionally , it operate , at least on my system , on both Windows xp and Mac OSX 10.5.8 . all of this make , verbatim 's slimboard a smart buy and a very good investment . +191 Keyboard POS 4 I receive this case\/keyboard combination just a few day ago . here be my initial thought about the product . pro : the ipad fit snuggly into the case and feel solid , as if it be one entire unit . the rotate action of the keyboard be nice and smooth although it do take two hand to get it into its functional position . it pair quickly and easily with the iPad . the combination look very sleek when open . it close very easily and smoothly . the key spacing on the keyboard be similar to a standard one which make it very easy to use right away with little `` re-training '' of my finger . it work and fit well with the Smart Cover . the key be quiet when hit and have a nice solid feel . con : it do add a noticeable bit of weight . when close , it loose some of the iPad 's sleekness . the iPad be not detachable when it be in the case . when closing , gravity tend to make it a little rough unless you hold onto the iPad as you close it . it be kind of like slam a door shut instead of hold on to the doorknob all the way until it be close . -lrb- I be not a door-slammer . -rrb- the iPad can not be rotate . it can only be use in landscape . there be only 1 view angle . feature I wish it have : because of the weight , I would like to be able to remove the iPad easily when I know I will not need the keyboard . the product can be make thinner and still retain its rigidity by use lightweight metal alloy instead of high-density plastic for some part . multiple view angle . with the release button , there should be a spring-like action that pop the iPad out a little bit when open and provide some resistance when closing . overall , it be a product , I feel , that be about 75 to 80 % mature . some good thought go into the product and it be nicely design . I be not 100 % sell on it yet though . +358 Keyboard POS 4 pro : - replace my g11 keyboard - Sturdier Design & feel , smaller size than the g11 - Sports Headset control & jack for easy voip program use with a headset - Macro key great for Games and programming -lrb- more of a enthusiast feature -rrb- - key can glow red , blue , and \* two \* shades of purple \* sarcasm \* Cons : - key lock down sometimes , have to unplug it , happen several time daily -lrb- update driver have not fix -rrb- - only one usb port -lrb- unlike the two on the g11 -rrb- , so no mouse & flash device at the same time other thought : - more of a $ 50 keyboard than a $ 80 - keyboard layout be very hard to adjust to -lrb- countless typo for the first few week -rrb- , not at all like the g11 - Wish they make it wireless +26 Keyboard POS 5 love all the extra button on the top . volume control , brightness , home screen , music button , lock screen , etc. have no problem with the dock like another review have . supplier send it with warranty and the manual . ship nicely , no problem . +85 Keyboard POS 5 I be really impress by this thing . almost to the point that I feel bad for the manufacturer . they put a lot of think into this product , and from what I can tell , hope to sell it for $ 80 or so . but it be probably just not in very high demand , so I feel like I get a great deal at $ 30 . so basically , it be just exactly what it say . you plug a tiny little usb dongle into a computer , turn on the remote keyboard and away you go . I kind of prefer use it compare to my new netbook keyboard . here 's why I say it be thoughtful design : 1 -rrb- the plug stow neatly inside the device when not in use -lrb- maybe you carry it around for presentation -rrb- . I be worry when I see one of the user submit picture , it look like the plug or a antenna stick out of the device . it do not . 2 -rrb- the keyboard have a backlight . very nice if you use it in the dark . 3 -rrb- you can -lrb- logically -rrb- turn the trackpad 90 degree . so you can hold the device vertically if you be just do mouse work . 4 -rrb- the supply usb charge cable do not consume a usb slot . how ? it split off a mini-usb plug from male-female usb cord . so the cord just extend the usb port of the computer , while also give a mini-usb charge point . 5 -rrb- it have a laser . I mean , why not ? it just really feel like they think this thing through . -lrb- the poorly translate chinese be hilarious though . fortunately , there be no real need for direction . -rrb- the only flaw be that it feel light in you hand , and that be a strange thing to complain about . +281 Keyboard NEG 1 the concept be so great . the follow through be MISERABLE . the ball be way to sensitive despite any configuration I have attempt in the software . it only work reliably from about 3 foot despite any claim make by the manufacturer . have the left click and track ball so close together cause the use of one to effect the other . if you be try to use it on a big screen you 'll only be frustrate by the lack of precision necessary for the task . unfortunately , this be make for use in the living room where it be pretty much useless . +23 Keyboard POS 5 I have try many , many accessory for the iPad hope to find something compact that offer protection and a bluetooth keyboard . the Apple keyboard dock and the Apple bluetooth keyboard be both excellent product , but I could never find a convenient way to carry they . then come the bevy of portfolio - all mostly the same but sell under different brand name and different price . they all have a built-in bluetooth keyboard , but who can live without a right-shift key . I find myself return to the hunt and peck system while use these keyboard . I teach myself to type , so I certainly do not want to go back to the two-finger method . then I discover the Zaggmate - a aluminum case to protect the face of the iPad and a buetooth keyboard with a full set of key . it also have some special key to add to the convience of use a ipad . Mine arrive today . now I be kick myself for not discover this outstanding product sooner . setup be a snap . the keyboard be of course smaller than a regular keyboard - kinda like a netbook - but it be not a difficult transition . glad to see heavy hitter Logitech team up with zagg on a similar case and keyboard for the ipad 2 . the quality of my Zaggmate be excellent and the key be responsive . the instruction illustrate a tiny bluetooth button . I be reluctant to poke at this tiny depression above the bluetooth symbol but nothing happen until I do . I manage to work a corner of a fingernail into the hole and voilum - I be able to establish a connection with the iPad . Hurray for Zagg ! +932 Keyboard POS 4 this be great . much smaller than a regular keyboard and work great with my computer and desk . +214 Keyboard POS 5 consider my wrist start hurt so bad that I could not move they that too at 26 year of age and 3 year of be a consultant I realize I need to take action and stop typing on the laptop keyboard and get a comfortable keyboard . the wrist pain have not yet all go away -lrb- the keyboard be not a healer -rrb- but my hand feel much more relax . good value for money +318 Keyboard POS 5 a little uncomfortable for typing but hey be a cover , its not original key what else do you want , you get use to it eventually . I really love it , it fit really good my key for my macbook pro 13.3 inch . I really love it ! I be so glad i purchase it i want to protect my very expensive piece of technology and this be really great ! it look real nice too ! so far be really loving it !! I receive my item super quickly ! +92 Keyboard POS 5 I have be use Logitech product as long as I can remember -lrb- 6-10 hr a day , everyday -rrb- , for School , work , and home . the selection , construction , design , comfort , price , and ease to Understand\/Use - if Logitech build a car , I would BUY IT ! +497 Keyboard POS 5 I purchase this skin in both blue and green to replace a red one I buy last year . the new one actually fit my 2-year old Macbook pro unibody better than the original ! it do the job , and the color be nice . more subdue blue when I do not have my key light . the fit be great , and there be a definite lack of dirt and other nastiness get underneath . the only potential drawback be a buildup on the cover that can get on the screen . keep this clean and be aware of the need to change it out when it get grimy be a must . however , it be so affordable , no biggie to get a new one when need . +377 Keyboard POS 5 I love this light weight keyboard . Works good and glad I bring it . I think if you be think of buy it buy it now . +221 Keyboard NEG 2 I be send this key board back , I end up buy another keyboard because I do not like this one . the mouse pad do not work very well and the key stick and the key be slow respond . +337 Keyboard NEU 3 my first and biggest pet peeve be the auto-numlock feature which the keyboard default to every time the pc be restart . my computer require every user to sign in when the pc be restart , re-awaken from sleep mode or when it be interrupt from screen-saver mode . when I first restart the pc , I could not sign in . after multiple attempt , I have to use the old keyboard to sign in . once sign in , I open up Notepad and type in my password with this keyboard - that be when I discover the middle set of key be default to the num-lock feature . it be a pain in the arse to have to unlock the numlock everytime the pc be restart . the instruction manual do not indicate a way to turn off the num-lock feature , but do indicate that the keyboard default to numlock and to use the fn and numblock key to turn it off . horrible design . my second pet peeve be the lack of dedicate media key . my old ioGear keyboard have dedicate media key for Windows Media Player or any other playback software . I use this a lot , because I be often listen to my mp3 playlist while surf the web or work on the pc . have to use the fn key again with the function key in the top row require two hand to play media , instead of one hand with my old ioGear keyboard . my third pet peeve be the location of the touchpad . have own 6 laptop in the past 9 year , 3 laptop currently , navigation on the touchpad often require 2 hand - one hand for move the cursor and the other hand control the button -lrb- s -rrb- . this be fairly easy on a laptop , because the touch pad be centered and at the bottom of the laptop , under the keyboard . on this keyboard , it be on the right , upper corner , where it be almost impossible to use two hand . plan on become extremely dextrous with you right finger and if you be left-handed , then good luck . I be still give this 3 star . because it be a full-size keyboard . I will keep and use this keyboard when I be do extensive typing . however , for navigation on the web , play music or video through Netflix and Amazon , I will continue to use my ioGear cordless keyboard with it be problematic , but much more intuitive roller , thumb-ball . this keyboard will also back up the old , ioGear cordless keyboard in case that stop work . Wireless keyboard become essential when one be sit 6 foot or more away from a hdtv , my 37 '' Vizio in this case , which I be use as a high-re monitor . +733 Keyboard NEG 1 I be still wait for this product , I can not believe it !!! I never get it !! I know it be ship from China but 4 month be way to much !! +33 Keyboard NEG 1 this be buy for one of the attorney at we firm after the rave review two other attorney give it . we do a lot of typing in this office and so the attorney be hope that this would make the work more comfortable . unfortunately , like other 1-star review , he could not stand the hard spacebar . he make a go of it for about a day or two before bring it back to the front office for return . make we glad we do not toss the box or he old keyboard . +196 Keyboard POS 5 as many have state about pricing when consider a backlit keyboard this item be without rival . it be the most inexpensive and well thought-out media keyboard with just enough to keep you involve with everyday task . it offer the option for illuminate key at a price anyone can afford . the key be somewhat average size lean toward the compact footprint of a laptop key layout . it have the Windows , Mail , search and Audio control that media keyboard seem to be obligate to yield as well as a few other . the key be illuminate with lead lighting component that be activate and deactivate with a on\/off button . the light switch be in the far right corner of the media key row you see in the product illustration just above the QWERTY key . the power draw of the keyboard be simple and direct as the led be power through the usb 2.0 power channel when connect to you system -- so there be no extra wire or adapter ; no battery need . it run out of the box without unnecessary driver eliminate inconsistent setup and intermittent operation headache for the average user on up the rank . the keyboard 's landscape be a standard qwerty layout govern by serious logical design that I have see in short order else-where . my conclusion be a five star rating without hesitation and it be solid . the standard feature be all there at a extremely low price make it a essential component that be Green , consumer friendly and user-space friendly . it be compact without feel like it and make a impact in all the right place . feature breakdown just as a recap : - all key be backlit led . - the led be power via usb 2.0 - single standard usb connector - the board be wire so no battery be need - no additional wireless radio interference to garble you router signal strength - have a true dedicated number pad - on\/off button for key illumination - have Num , Caps and Scroll Lock indicator led just above the number pad -- no more guess - price be phenominal consider everyone 's economice state fantastic product -- period . +353 Keyboard POS 5 this keyboard work as describe and I think it be great . if you strictly use MCE or extender , then you have to give this 5 star . that be what it be make for . it boast a solid build , small and light , thin and comfortable . all the button be where they should be and work properly . the ` pointer ' -lrb- mouse alternative -rrb- be goofy , but work if you have half a brain . you have to keep in mind that half these review from the computer section be from half-wit expect something that be not really there . overactive imagination and no technical know-how : P. +62 Keyboard POS 4 need a compact keyboard for a tight space and this be perfect . cheap also . good typing feel . that be about all I can say . +723 Keyboard POS 5 I buy this wireless keyboard with mouse for my computer desk that have a built-in keyboard tray . I originally have a Logitech wireless usb keyboard but it be too wide and take up too much space . this verbatim wireless fit perfectly and I like the keyboard feel . so far so good , I have not encounter any issue . I would definitely recommend this to anyone look for a small compact wireless keyboard without the 10-key attachment . +828 Keyboard POS 5 the letter be not transparent . I have read other review and decide that I prefer the solid black of the key -lrb- versus the clear plastic key cover which would show dirt and wear , and just not look as good -rrb- to be able to see the backlight , as I do not use it much . +391 Keyboard POS 5 Green be one of my favorite color . just like anything else you can personalize it the way u like . it make my MAC Book pro stand out from the rest . I absolutely love it . +393 Keyboard POS 4 this be a great little keyboard . it be small , light and just what I need to streamline typing large amount of text into my new Treo 650 smart phone . unfortunately , it cease to work at seemingly random time . sometimes it restart itself and sometimes it will not work unless I perform a soft reset . I do not know why it do this , but I wish Palm would fix it . +640 Keyboard NEG 1 buy this product and it be a love\/hate relationship until it finally just up and die 4 month in . when it work it be constantly lose the bluetooth connection . I would say it work about 70 % of the time . a big annoyance be the volume button constantly get bump and go down to zero . at 4 month it just up and die . totally unable to get the bluetooth to connect . I take good care of my gadget and this thing be never expose to liquid , dust or excessive heat . save you money and buy something else . +709 Keyboard NEG 1 if you get it to work on you phone it will crash after a few time !!!!! THIS be a huge waste of TIME and MONEY DONT BUY IT !!! +428 Keyboard POS 5 I just receive my keyboard yesterday , but be delighted by the quality and functionality of the unit already ! Time will tell about its durability , but I be not see anything that would make I overly concerned . it be easy to type on , the dedicated key be great . in order to compact so much into a smaller keyboard space , a couple of key be a bit off-placed from what I be use to -lrb- i.e. the right shift button be a further reach -rrb- but that be a small sacrifice for a small keyboard . my only `` con '' and it be picky point , be that though the keyboard do slide out smoothly , it be more difficult to type on simply because it be small , plastic , and lightweight . no biggie and I may learn to like it in time , but for now I keep it in the dock . I really like the cover for the back of the unit too . I use my ipad to teach and its a great texture for hold the unit without fear of it slip easily from my hand . with a zagg protective cover on the glass I close the unit on the keyboard with confidence and be good to go . I highly recommend it -lrb- so far ! -rrb- . +27 Keyboard POS 5 I just receive the new k800 illuminate cordless keyboard from Logitech and so far I really like it . my husband and I have a wall unit with two computer and each of we area be separate by a desktop . my corner be fairly dark even in the middle of the day so I want a keyboard that light up , but all the one I know of be cord , which would not work without some sort of extension . then I find this one . so far I enjoy it . the lighting be automatically as well as manually adjustable , it can recharge on the fly just like Logitech 's newer mouse with the usb charger -lrb- which will work great with the usb port in my monitor -rrb- , and the key stroke be smooth and fairly sensitive . the key feel slightly larger than my previous keyboard -lrb- a mx5500 -rrb- and I know the f key be -lrb- the tiny f key slightly annoy I on my other keyboard -rrb- . there be a slight curve to the thin keyboard to make it slightly ergonomic . all in all I be quite pleased . now it be just to see how well it hold up - my job be datum entry from home so it will get a gruel workout ; -rrb- +125 Keyboard NEG 1 it just work for couple of hour and then break with follow error . sorry process System be not respond ! \* Force Close \* wait \* Report I have try re-start google tv many time , but it be not work at all . it be like this since last two day . I be go to return this product . +865 Keyboard NEU 3 th keyboard work great but the mouse be to jerky when it come to fine movement and slow to move across the screen . if this keyboard mouse be actually functional i would have give it five star . +127 Keyboard POS 5 I have use the grabbit case for month now . although the grabbit case be exceptional , you can not use both . once I set this keyboard case up to work with my ipad , there be no turn back . the assembly be very easy and straight forward . the bluetooth pairing for this product to the IPAD be very easy . this thing work well with it be just a protective case alone . you open it up and there the keyboard ! with the case open up , it look like a mini laptop . my wife absolutely love it . she like to sit in the recliner and play on the iPad . now she do not have to hold the iPad . she sit it in she lap and do what she want without have the hold the side or back . I have two complaint . 1 . when open the case , it be so stiff , you have to hold the bottom when open the top . 2 . because the bottom bar be the same level as the space bar , I find myself hit the bottom bar instead of the space bar . even with these small issue , I still give it 5 star because it be so convenient . if you want a protective case and a wireless keyboard , this be the product to get . +633 Keyboard POS 4 this ir portable keyboard work very well with my HP IPAQ 1940 machine . now I can use it in class to take note . the only problem be you can only type on a table top or any flat surface - it will not work if you wanna type on top of you lap . +427 Keyboard POS 5 I have be use this keyboard for a few day now and so far it be great . I have never use a ergonomic keyboard before , which be kind of silly since I be a software developer and have write hundred of thousand of line of code on standard keyboard and be uncomfortable the entire time . this take some get use to , but the design lend it self to quick familiarity . it be well build and very quite , unlike my other click-clacker . so long sore hand ! the only complaint I have be that it do not have a female usb port for flash drive or mp3 player -lrb- this would be bettter than crawl under the desk to reach the port , I guess I 'll have to buy a usb extension -rrb- . +788 Keyboard POS 4 the key board cover be really nice and easy to use . you just place it over you key - it keep dust and dirty stuff from get all over you key . I bring this because I have really oily finger and I do not like the oil mark on that be leave by key on the screen . this key board cover for I reduce the oil mark on the screen . my friend be use my laptop and he be like do something weird happen to you key , they feel different ? he do not even know there be a cover ! Thats how nice the cover be . I recommend this type of cover not the color one because they be more professional and the light still glow nicely . on the f5 and f6 button there be just the f5 and f6 symbol not the symbol to make you key light up or down . all the other button be the same as you key board . now that I have the cover I barely use the key light except when im in the dark . the feel be really soft and a little higher than you might be use to but you will get use to it because its a small difference . oh and the key do not make that much noise with the cover when you typing very fast . this could be useful in a meeting or a class . I be really happy I buy it . it be not too much either +708 Keyboard NEG 1 unfortunately I cant use this product , I have Mac Book pro . my `` enter '' key be in vertical position , but this product have horizontal one and cant fix on keyboard +775 Keyboard POS 4 for what it cost -lrb- and from Logitech -rrb- , this keyboard be awesome . I just switch over from use wire keyboard all my life , and I be fairly impress by this thing - it be size , it be weight , the freedom of movement it afford . the one and only complaint I have be that sometimes the radio connection seem to lag - I type in word , and they do not show up on the screen until several seconds later . this be rare , but it pop up here and there . you might want to give this second thought if you be into real-time online gaming . +655 Keyboard NEU 3 I purchase this Lenovo remote base on the glowing review and its form factor , upgrade from a 3\/4 size multimedia keyboard with trackball , which be too large for use in my living room with my htpc . I be please with the size and design of this remote , but very disappointed in the wireless range . sit on my couch 12 foot from my computer with a clear line of sight , the remote struggle . it miss roughly half of the character I type and have numb response on the trackpad . I often end up lean forward or reach my arm out , which make I want to go back to my old keyboard . if my tv remote have no issue from here , I would like to see the same from a $ 52 remote . +559 Keyboard NEG 1 be I nut , or what ? be I the only reviewer who notice that this keyboard have a enormous gap where you left hand should fit ? you a-s-d finger fit just fine , but you have to s-t-r-e-t-c-h you f finger across this gap to reach the f , r and c key . also the shift key on the right side of the keyboard be across another ENORMOUS gap , so you can not reach it automatically as you type . if you hunt-and-peck , fine . but if you want to type rapidly , forget about it ! g. +129 Keyboard POS 5 this keyboard be exactly what you want if a basic , operational , usb keyboard be what you be look for . the feel be good , operation be quiet , and the response be perfect . for under $ 20 , this be likely the best device you can purchase . +209 Keyboard POS 5 I purchase this keyboard to replace the one in my wife 's laptop . it be a breeze to replace and work great . take I about 20 min . to remove old one and install the new one . I think that be pretty good since it be my first time replace a keyboard . +18 Keyboard POS 4 pro 's : Works well . long battery life . very convenient . act like a tiny keyboard . con : no easy quickbind of key . this product be very useful . just plug and play . if you be watch movie or listen to music , the up arrow underneath the touchpad on the right raise or lower the volume . +639 Keyboard POS 5 this be a awesome technological piece of equipment . we get a smart tv so that we could watch crackle.com movie for free and access we email -lrb- reading and composing -rrb- , and after research buy Google TV Logitech Revue to facilitate this process . the keyboard be fantastic to work with rather than use the remote control laboriously while press button one at a time to perform a action . I can quickly type a address on the keyboard in google and be there . the tech support be proficient and extremely knowledgeable . I speak with a tech who lead I through clear the cache , go through the spotlight app to access crackle and who explain various function of the keyboard , like press the menu button to the right of the space bar , select window , and click on the x 's to close window instead of leave they open and fill the cache . my hat go off to Logitech for produce a product that be extremely valuable in easily use a Smart tv . most problem people have be because they be use it incorrectly . I love the ease of it , to watch movie and access my email , and typing be a breeze . I love Google TV Logitech Revue and they tech support !!!! +486 Keyboard POS 4 i spend my entire workday in front of my computer so naturally i need something more comfortable than the stock keyboard that be give to I by my empolyer . i use a natural pro at home and be very happy with it . the natural multimedia have a similar look , but feel very different . the keystroke be a lot smoother , almost feel spongy . the extra multimedia button on the top ... i do not use they . oh yeah , and the keyboard be noticibly heavier and take up more space than a stock keyboard ... there be two main thing that really annoy I : the function key -lrb- f1-f12 -rrb- have be replace by m$ with shortcut for thing like help , undo , redo , open , close , reply , fwd , send , spell , save , print . you can still use the f-key , but you have to press the flock button first . annoy . also , there be a oversized delete button -- it sit where the insert button and a normal size delete button sit . +774 Keyboard NEU 3 this do just what I want it to . I have a keyboard with only a usb male connector . this device convert that usb connector to the older style of male connector : PS\/2 . ideazon Merc Stealth illuminate gaming keyboard owner : attention ! this device will not work for you . it work perfectly well with another usb keyboard that I have , but not with my usb Merc Stealth . and this be not a unique defect of my Merc Stealth unit . I read some message board post on other website , and there be a entry in the Merc Stealth manual that corroborate what I have say . the Merc Stealth will simply not work with this PS\/2 adapter . also , I read a couple of other review here at amazon , and apparently this device do not always work . therefore only three star . +366 Keyboard POS 4 I like this wireless keyboard and mouse , so far I have not have any problem with they . they keyboard be light and thin , which be very convenient . I never have any problem with driver or anything . the only small inconvenience be the home , end and delete key layout be different from what I be use to . +648 Keyboard POS 5 when my 3-year old Microsoft wireless keyboard bit the dust last week , I have to briefly use a spare , straight , non-ergonomic keyboard and it feel awful . what a relief when I get the Logitech keyboard in the mail yesterday ! very comfortable to type on , fit my keyboard tray just right , feel better to type on than the Microsoft keyboard do . and the laser mouse that come with it in this combo package also be a pleasure to use . the keyboard have a lot of functional capability that I probably will not use , but that be just icing on the cake . the comfort , for I , be the best feature of this keyboard . this be a excellent choice , if I do say so myself . +883 Keyboard NEU 3 I have a extremely similar product from another manufacturer that I love . it be power switch break , so I need a new one . buy this one , and it be ok . the touch pad be not nearly as sensitive . seem like I have to lick my finger , or press very firmly for it to track my mouse courser . overall the button have a pretty good feel , and the keyboard work as expect . I be just very disappointed in the touch pad . +345 Keyboard POS 5 `` my ship '' finally arrive , when I join the many who buy the Logitech Google tv ? be I impress ? , definitely ! , have it meet all expectation ? absolutely !! it be a great addition to the internet , a great `` accent '' you might say . while there be unlimited thing to do on the Google tv , I have notice a few minor bug , that will get work out . I do love the app !! I will keep patient , and see where it go from here . I hope they can resolve the issue with the network , and Disney ! it sure be easy to use , I have get use to be broadband now for almost 3 week . not too far off , I be plan on add the webcam , still wait to see if the price settle there too . overall I give it high mark and high praise . stream media , video , and everything else `` under the hood '' . be a awesome experience , I wish something like this for this price have come along much sooner . kudos to the Google tv ! +439 Keyboard POS 4 I buy this due to extreme frustration with typing on my device - I be truly what you would call fat finger and be constantly frustrate by the auto correct -lrb- $ % & # % ^ \* $ % & # -rrb- put random crap on my text and such . the keyboard be alright - it hook right up to my ipad , IMac , PC , and IPhone . the only thing that be difficult to hook up to be my android tablet , and after some internet research I get it to link up after about 3 hour . it be better to use than the screen on the phone and tablet , but not as good as a `` real '' keyboard . I guess that mean the developer be do they job since that be the niche the product be design for . I give this to a friend 's daughter who need a keyboard for a school-issued ipad . she be extremely pleased with it so I be rating it a 4 - my 3 and she 5 make it a 4 . +16 Keyboard POS 4 only 4 start because it do not have a usb hub . that be absolutely the only down side . I love it . +917 Keyboard NEG 2 buy if you enjoy turn off the numlock key every time you turn on you computer . otherwise you password will fail . the designer make a stupid gaffe with this design . most recent computer have remove numlock setting in the bio . so buy this if you like to remember to do unnecessary task . in other word the keyboard be the opposite of convenient - frustrate to use . enjoy ! +408 Keyboard NEU 3 this be a great keyboard in theory . I love the feel and consistency of the key , and the variability of the backlight . I can do some serious typing on this keyboard and enjoy every moment of it . well , assume I remove all of the macro key , which I do . they get in the way -- I align my hand by feel , base on where my left pinky find the edge of the last row of key . if you stick a extra column of key there , I line up too far to the left and disaster and frustration ensue . for a day or so I try to jam my pinky in the crevasse between the macro key and the normal key , but that be uncomfortable and make it difficult to hit Tab . then I try to position my hand in a more traditional typing posture , which do not work very well . I could have stick with it and re-learn to type , but I like the way I type now and do not want to change , so I pop off the macro key and all be well . only downside be , the blue led be pretty bright without key to obscure they . I might paint or tape over they . issue number two be that in low light , the painting on the key be very hard to see because it be dark gray . the light-up portion of the key be fine -- perfect , in fact . the altered font do not bother I at all . what do bother I be that I have to lean in and closely examine the key to figure out what they shift function be because I can not see they . Blue lead + dark gray paint + black key = very poor usability and visibility , especially in low or no light situation . lastly , my keyboard arrive defective , but it take a day or two to notice how . the spacebar be just a little too loose , so when I hit it at any kind of angle with my thumb , it will grind against the x or the m key , depend on which thumb I use . this cause superfluous xe and m , cause I lot of frustration . I try to adjust the spacebar to see if it be out of alignment or something -- there be nothing I can do , it be just not work right and have to go back . so I have request a exchange from Amazon . unfortunately , it be out of stock and I be still wait for a new one after two week . in summary , I like this keyboard and can not imagine use anything else anymore . I just wish it be better design and better manufacture . +75 Keyboard POS 4 my item come in like 2 day due to how close the shipper be . the keyboard cover be a bit slow I guess I just need to get use to it . but every key piece fit perfectly on it and a problem be just that the space bar will make the cover move abit . but everything be fine . I rate this 4\/5 just because they key when typing feel slow and the space bar will make it move which be not that bad but some people might want to know . +25 Keyboard NEG 2 i feel very hard in typing because i need to press each key hardly . not able to type fastly and get pain in wrist . +192 Keyboard POS 5 I just want to say that I pick the keyboard up the other day , and I like it a lot . the space bar issue seem to be fix because it be very easy to press for I . so if that be what hold you back , I would say try it out for yourself at a local store . the overall build quality be excellent , and it work fine with Vista . +725 Keyboard POS 5 this be a must have if you be use to typing on a new Apple Keyboard . it be really help improve my typing on my new m pc . +969 Keyboard POS 5 order one of these keyboard and a vertical mouse to address some wrist soreness I be have at work . like this one so much , I get another one for home . +293 Keyboard POS 5 Works really well on the PS3 and my computer , have not try it on my phone because I do not really need a external keyboard for that . the only real problem I have have with it be if I connect it to my pc then I have to re-register it on my PS3 +222 Keyboard POS 4 Watch the height if use on a computer desk with slide out keyboard drawer . do not think about this and since the height of the keyboard -lrb- 2.6 accord to manufacturer -rrb- be different from the regular flat keyboard -lrb- 1.5 inch -rrb- . when slide the drawer in and out the key rub the bottom of the desk even though I have a 2 and 1\/4 inch gap between drawer and bottom of desk which be probably a pretty standard gap on computer desk , measure first . other than that it be great . +407 Keyboard POS 5 I have read up a lot on the black widow from Razer , and I be honestly not so sure I want to buy it after all the bad review and the forum post that people keep say they be have issue with the keyboard , but eventually I choose to take the risk , I mean Amazon have a amazing return policy so if something go wrong I could always return it . anyways the keyboard arrive quickly and I have be use it for roughly a month or two and so far have have none of the problem post by a lot of user . the back light be perfect for work in low light , and I 'll admit the key do clack a little loudly but its not really a problem for I . as other people have mention , yes the font be a little weird at first but it really be not hard to get use to it , or the swap of the number and alternate symbol on they . all in all a very good product that have spoil I , as I refuse to use anything but mechanical anymore ! +626 Keyboard NEU 3 I buy two of these on sale from a local retailer . while they be good as a quick replacement keyboard that be also wireless , serious typist or anyone picky may want to look elsewhere . -- pro : the wireless component work pretty well . it can also work with a Panasonic plasma tv , and some of the function key can access important part of the menu . I like the nano-receiver . I can leave it in a laptop , and wrap a sleeve around it . at the very least , the regular function key be the default , instead of force user to press a `` fn '' key just to access `` f2 '' and the like . of course , the blue-labeled function key like volume up or change track do come in handy . -- con : Logitech remove a lot of important modifier key on the right side , notably the Windows key and the context menu key , the latter of which be replace with a blue `` fn '' key . this be a disadvantage for both Windows and Mac user who frequently use keyboard shortcut . -- MISCELLANEOUS : I do not mind the `` dark fleur '' design . the feel of the keyboard , for I at least , do not quite feel substantial . I can get use to it if I be force to use it daily , but without the miss modifier key on the right side , I probably will not use it in the end . it be also kind of big to use for a home theater setup , unless you be do spreadsheet on a big screen tv . it be still fairly lightweight . +484 Keyboard NEG 1 it be a very nice keyboard but some of the key dont work right . the company be great as far as give I another one but this one have problem too . I do not want to be a bother so I have not say anything about the replacement be mess up too . +521 Keyboard POS 4 I have be use my Logitech Revue for a couple of week now and really like it ! it have good flash support and seamlessly interface with Tivo . now I only need one remote for the tv and both box . from the application screen , I can access the web , Tivo recording , Netflix , YouTube , and live tv . the remote have a full keyboard , so I can use the tv as my portal to the web without the clunky interface and remote of some other system . it really be the convergence of television and internet . the only negative be that it appear to recompress the Tivo signal , degrade the picture quality ever-so slightly . most viewer will not notice this unless they be professional video editor . it be exciting to be use a platform that will continue to evolve and improve over time . +686 Keyboard POS 4 I never write a review for any item that I buy in Amazon . but I gotta say this be a good product for I . the price be reasonable when it be compare to the genuine apple product . overall , I love this product . ; -rrb- +233 Keyboard POS 5 this product have perform admirably after 6 month of use and counting . I still love my Apple Bluetooth keyboard that come with my imac but it be suck up battery every two week , even under moderate use . this be true of many Bluetooth device . enter the Logitech k750 solar power keyboard and the problem be solve . the build quality be very good with a nice heft to it even though it be make of plastic . the solar power work extremely well . even with a small desk lamp the battery gauge never drop below 96 % . I have go day without put direct light on it and the battery meter barely budge . but the nicest thing about the keyboard aside from the solar power be the feel of the key . type on this thing be a pleasure . it be very soft and quiet . you also get the numeric keypad on the right just like a regular keyboard which be great for I for work . also worth mention be that it work in Windows too , just the special function key on top do not work but for normal typing it be fine . overall , a very nice product and a must for those who do not want to deal with frequent battery replacement . +394 Keyboard POS 5 this be easy to use and work well . I literally take the keyboard out of the box , insert the transceiver -lrb- which have a storage spot on the back of the keyboard -rrb- into a usb port on my computer , insert two AAA battery that be include into the keyboard and the keyboard start work . the keyboard be approximately 13 inch by six inch . this give I much more flexibility when I be work at my desk and have a bunch of papers in front of I . I can move the keyboard around my desk with ease . my only complaint be that the keyboard do not have little pullout leg that allow it to be raise at a angle . if I be rest the keyboard on my lap it be not a big deal but I be usually work at a desk and I be use to a keyboard at a angle . this be a great product at a good price . I do with be could be raise at a angle though . +638 Keyboard POS 5 great wireless keyboard . pair it with the m570 Wireless Trackball and you have a killer combination . sure be good to have the unifying usb receiver too . no more extra unit clutter up the workstation . a huge plus . . +11 Keyboard NEU 3 I be use this on a Toshiba laptop , and it work as soon as the bluetooth wizard configure the device . the problem be , once I shut off the keyboard , I have to go through it all again . however , window bluetooth manager show the device be connect , but the keyboard do not even transmit a signal . at this point , I have to remove the device from the list device , and re-install it . then it work , just as before . but , I drive a limo and will use it to allow my customer to browse the web for tv and music video . and , thus , I need two . one for they , and one for I up front , in case something happen and I have to fix a problem . so , with the dongle that be in the drawer , they both work fine , at the same time . the bluetooth dongle I have , get confuse or something . but , I can not figure out why neither of they will function , even though they be connect , accord to window . that be a bit of a hassle , have to re-install they , each time they be turn on . but , that be most likely a system problem w\/my laptop and not with the device . I have see comment that the sensitivity of the pad be not all that great , and I find it nearly equal to any mouse . a slight more effort , to get the cursor from one end of the screen to the other ... . if it be not for have to re-install everytime I turn the unit back on , I would have ZERO complaint ... ; - -rrb- +296 Keyboard POS 5 I wish I have think of this . the silicon protect from dust , cat hair , and liquid , and it even make the clicking of my key quieter . what more could I want ? +544 Keyboard POS 5 I be look for a mouse\/keyboard combo . the best mouse that I could find be by logitech , but be not pair with a keyboard . so I buy this keyboard and it go perfectly with my mouse and the computer . +249 Keyboard POS 5 I be just browse around to see what keyboard be available and I be surprise to see the trusty Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite still on the market . I have be use this keyboard every day for the past eight year and it have not fail I yet . what be especially great about this keyboard be its easy cleaning . after remove the 10-15 screw from the back of the keyboard , the key pop out in three section : left hand , right hand , and number pad . I scrub these with soapy water and a brush and rinse all debris away under the powerful spigot in my bathtub . I let the key section dry for a few hour and reassemble the keyboard . I have be do this every few month for eight year and I have yet to strip any screw or break anything . the last time I clean it , I use a little bit of rub alcohol to remove some of the palm oils which be embed into the plastic palm rest . this keyboard look as good as it do in 2002 , and none of the key have begin to show any wear either ! I have to agree with other reviewer that the arrow key layout be not the best . I remember use the prior model of the Microsoft Natural Keyboard about ten year ago , which have a better design with full-sized arrow key . I be consider order another one of these just to keep it in the closet in case the one I be use to type this review break , although I suspect that this one should last I 10-20 year give its current condition . +485 Keyboard POS 4 personally , I love this keyboard . no one be more resistant to change than I be , so it be highly unusual for I to try , let alone use , such a untraditional-looking product . this keyboard do take a little get use to -- make no mistake about that . the hardest thing for I have be find the `` 6 '' key -lrb- across the top -rrb- -- it be on the leave `` half '' of the keyboard , a fact which my right hand sometimes have trouble remember . yes , the arrow key be a little small , and the Insert-Delete-Home-End-PageUp-PageDown key be not really `` instinctively '' position , but the Delete key be the only one of these that I use a great deal , and it be still at the bottom left of that set of key , just where it should be . I use a standard keyboard all day at work , and I have no problem go back and forth between the two , so that should not be too big of a issue among prospective buyer of this product . while I have no wrist problem , I know that I do not type `` correctly . '' I have try wrist pad before , and I utterly despise they . I be not the type of person to buy something because it be `` ergonomic . '' frankly , I buy this keyboard because it be `` unusual '' and because I still trust Microsoft 's name on a product . as it turn out , I get a comfortable keyboard that just so happen to significantly help my typing posture -- not a bad deal . you can buy a keyboard with a bunch of internet and shortcut key , but why waste money on those little extra ? give this keyboard a try , especially those of you who just can not stand wrist pad , and I bet you -lrb- and you wrist -rrb- will come to really like this product . +746 Keyboard NEG 2 this keyboard be cheaper than its Sony brand competitor for a excellent reason - it be simply not as good . I be a fairly good typist , and this be \* much \* slower than use Graffiti to enter information . you have to poke and push very hard to get the keystroke to register , and the divide nature of the keyboard make it very difficult to get up any speed at all . I could not type more than a few word without have to go back and add miss or extra letter . I would only recommend this keyboard if you can not cope with graffitus at all . enter any large amount of text will simply take you too long and drive you insane with the pointlessness of become a two-fingered typist otherwise . +581 Keyboard POS 5 great price , great little keyboard , light up nice work well and come package nicely . no complaint here , actually buy 6 of they ! +823 Keyboard NEG 1 these guy post a false picture of a illuminated black keyboard , that be very flexible and portable . what they send I be this crappy generic keyboard that have a very bad rubber material , that be not illuminate , and be a ugly gray color . the key dont even work correctly , you have to literally smash they to get they to enter . this be a waste of $ 20.00 . I even find the same generic keyboard on a website for only $ 5.00 . this be a rip off ! and yes , I be go to return it beware of this seller , and he cheap item . +910 Keyboard POS 5 if you own a palm m125 , m130 & m500 series pda , you must get this keyboard . it make inpute datum onto you pda a breeze . the design be awesome and it fold away really nicely . it accompany I everywhere I go in lieu of my laptop . I can type e-mail message rather than rely on use graphity to write make the Palm much more usable and powerful . type note , editing document with document to go make this keyboard indispensable . furthermore , Amazon.com have the best price anywhere in the country . you 'll save -lrb- money -rrb- by order it from Amazon and if you time it right , you can take advantage of free shipping and handling . what more could you ask for ? +773 Keyboard POS 4 I like the feel of this , its a nice keyboard . but do not flex it when in operation . it do not operate well when it be bent . use it on a flat surface . the manual say not to roll it up tightly when you store it away . there be many small wire inside that may be damage if stressed too far . a problem , this keyboard disabled my PS\/2 mouse port . I have to buy a usb mouse to run with this keyboard . +594 Keyboard POS 5 Pretty pink ! love it . fit the keyboard . but I can not see if the cap lock light be on or off . and the touching feeling be worse than nothing on keyboard . +431 Keyboard POS 5 if you need a functional keyboard dock for you tab you cant go wrong with this one , not only do it look sleek , the key feel much better compare to other dock and the docking station it self leave not gap make a clean fit +108 Keyboard NEU 3 no problem pair with laptop run on Windows Vista . curved ergonomic keypad be really comfortable for long use , and the individual key layout be friendlier than full size wave keyboard . the battery life seem to be reasonable , no replacement so far after 1 month usage . take about 3-5 seconds to wake up from battery saving mode . ca not tell if Cap Lock or Num Lock be on or off ; a status indication led at the keyboard would be helpful . this can become irritating , especially typing a password text box . chassis for the keyboard could use stiffer plastic material , feel too fragile ; I doubt this keyboard can last long . +239 Keyboard NEG 1 I have develop pain in my hand , mostly my thumb from excessive keyboarding and probably some arthritis . I order this keyboard with hope of improve my condition . I wish I have read the negative review closer . while there be many feature that be good and the general feel of the keyboard be comfortable , the space bar be a deal breaker for I . my thumb be already so sore , have to press the space bar so hard make my condition even worse ! sorry , but I will be return it . +120 Keyboard NEG 2 this thing be a nightmare . it choose when it want to work . it be fantastic when it do work , I love the key and the shape of the mouse , but it only decide to work when it want to . there have be so many time where I have almost replace it , and then it will work for a while , then make I want to break it in half again . Trust I just spend the extra 10-20 dollar for a more reliable brand . +628 Keyboard POS 4 I find the keyboard to work flawlessly . great design and comfortable to use . my only problem , and it be not anything you can do , be that when I use a keyboard I instinctively want to use a mouse or track pad . see how the iPad be touch screen interface this obviously be not possible . so I do find it awkward to go between screen and keyboard . so I would use it only in the case of need to type a significant amount of text - it be not for everyday use . the case work well , stay snug , and be slim and light . overall a very nice product . +95 Keyboard POS 5 Easy to set up , easy to use . plug in adapter , remove protective film from mouse & keyboard . that be it . install software to access additional function . as a touch typist , I be concern about adjust to the different keyboard style , but it have take I all of 15 seconds . Sweet . love the mouse , too , although it will take some tweaking of the setting before I stop overshoot the mark . the usb adapter be so tiny that I nearly do not find it hide up in the top , leave corner of the box . have use and be happy with Logitech in the past , and I can see this will be no exception . +656 Keyboard POS 5 I pespsi Syndromed a instance of this keyboard I have use since 2005 . despite I fling food and drink at it for almost 6 year , it hold up pretty well . but a whole can of Pepsi be too much . so I be happy to get a new replacement , since I like the size , layout , and price . I use this in my job as a programming indentured servant and it keep my wrist and shoulder comfy . +612 Keyboard NEU 3 I do not want to say this keyboard be bad , it actually look very cool . but if you be so use to hit the key hard , you be not go to get use to this one . the key be very soft and squishy . I return it for it be not work for I . +658 Keyboard POS 5 so . . what be there really to say ? it be a cheap -lrb- $ 20 -rrb- wireless keyboard make my Logitech and come with free 2-day shipping via AMAZON PRIME . Works well at 10ft and I really can not see myself use it any further away than that . I be very satisfied with this product and highly recommend it to other . +834 Keyboard NEG 2 I have high hope for this item and they just do not hold up . the range be really not sufficient for `` couch to tv '' range even in my small living room . both the include bluetooth adapter and a higher quality one I purchase be unable to keep the keypad from lag . additionally , the touchpad be not very sensitive . even get on to icon be problematic , let alone attempt even the moderate precision require to manipulate a time scroll bar find in a video player app . I really wish I have return this immediately because I know it be not go to make it back out of my desk drawer any time in the near future . +647 Keyboard NEG 1 Mine come in the mail yesterday . it will not charge . . therefore will not sync . the blue indicator light remain on for only a few minute -lrb- less than 5 -rrb- and then shut off . turn the switch to on ... there be no light indicate status - not even a blink . I email Cust Serv . and they send instruction for all the step I have already follow . no mention of what the problem might be , from the description of the problem I have send to they . the response be a waste of time . I do not recommend buy one of these unless you can easily return it to a store . need to return malfunctioning merchandise by mail be annoying . +176 Keyboard POS 4 I really like this product . I be on the computer all day and be get a bit of soreness in my wrist so I buy this . it take a while to train you brain to type at the new angle , but you will get there . it be really enjoyable to use all day and I like how well it be hold up long term . I like it so much I get one for home as well . it also have some nice programable key which be very helpful for repetitive task . it be also fun to watch co-worker try and type on it ... +37 Keyboard NEG 1 the trackball in this thing be only 200 dpus . and it be a pain to browse window with it . and the keyboard require line of sight to the receiver . I mean it have to face the receiver straight on or it will not work ughhh . and the receiver have the activity light on even when i be not even touch the keyboard or trackball . I think that be eat up the battery . battery life be horrible . after 3 month of use , i have to struggle to move the cursor with the trackball . it be wear down even though i rarely use it because it be a pain . it be expensive too . I get feed up with it and throw it on the ground . do not buy it !!!!! +796 Keyboard NEG 1 I buy this intentionally to match my Mac laptop hard case , and the picture be exactly the same color to get this product to find out its seafood green ... not this blue . +478 Keyboard POS 5 Bottom Line up front : I 'll start by say I love the system and use it all the time . my laptop sit on a shelf now and I use this for everything now ... pro : - solid state drive be super fast -lrb- honestly I can boot in often less than 20 seconds and wake from sleep in less than 4 -rrb- . - limited bloatware , less than 1 gb by my calculation , and some of it be very useful like the system set up tool and even the Samsung sort of app center GUI overlay that you activate by press the `` home '' button . - processor and integrate Intel graphic chipset be powerful enough for almost any business task , movie , music , and some game . - the Wacom digitizer pen be well support and the capacitive touch screen be very good . navigate on this be a breeze for I . Palm rejection be some of the best I have see - design of the system be very high grade . it feel like a very polished product and there be not anything flimsy about it , from what I can tell . -lrb- \* caveat \* I have hear tell of the screen delaminate on some folk . I would buy a screen protector to prevent this . that be what I have do and I have notice no problem . you just have to give the ` rubbery ' feel of the screen protector to fade after a couple day of use to get use to write on the screen again -rrb- - run very well on Windows 8 , so it be a easy system to upgrade once that os come out . there be a reason Windows choose this as a demo platform for they new OS . con : - the battery life could always be improve . heavy use with video and \/ or gaming will net you only about 2.5 - 3.5 hour , and use very strict power management setting you still may only squeeze out about 5 - 6 hour of use for strictly business app . and of course there be no option for a spare battery . - the micro sd memory slot be stupid . it should be a standard sd memory slot as that be what most people use in they other device , such as digital camera . there be really little reason , I think , that there be not a standard sd memory slot here . I find this the most annoying feature - no integrate SIM card support . I would love to be able to just pop in a SIM card from a cell network and be able to get online . usb dongle for cellular datum be such a pain , especially in a system as form functional dependent as a slate tablet . also this bring I to ... - only one usb slot . there be another on the dock , but now that the system have no SIM card support and only micro sd memory option , I be often use a usb cell modem and a usb thumbdrive . I now have to choose which one I want to plug in at any time . second most annoying feature . - camera be terrible . you 'll read other reviewer mention how awful it be , seriously , it be worse . worse than what you even think . I have a webcam in 1998 that produce better video and still picture than the camera on this system . I 'll never use the camera , so I do not really care , but just so you be aware . that be pretty much it in a nutshell . for more detail keep reading . since I receive this tablet and get it set up , it have immediately become my everyday laptop ! it be fast & powerful , I can run all the application I need on a daily basis to include m Office 2010 , Photoshop CS4 , IBM Lotus Forms , and my office CITRIX network app . in addition , I like to play the civilization series of game and this handle CIV iv on if highest graphic setting and even CIV V on its lowest setting . also , movie viewing be crisp through Netflix or iTunes . the build in speaker leave something to be desire , but they be as good as what be on a ipad . but , for I , this be mostly a work tablet , otherwise I would have just stick with a ipad for my entertainment . my set up include the dock and bluetooth keyboard . in addition I purchase the Samsung Series 7 Slate cover\/stand . it should be note that the cover\/stand do not work with the dock . you 'll need to remove you computer from the cover in order to attach it to the dock . but for I , I do not really use the dock at all , and the cover\/stand be rubbery enough to get a good grip on slick surface that I just use it as the stand when I be typing use the bluetooth keyboard . the keyboard itself be not too bad . I have read some reviewer say it feel `` gummy '' . it do not feel that way to I , and the more I have use it , Iv ' e find it to be very responsive allow I to type accurately . it be probably a matter of preference . of course , I have be able to use other bluetooth keyboard or usb keyboard without issue if I want to . I be a big user of OneNote for take meeting note and mark up document , and it work great on this system . the digitizer pen be very good , with good pressure recognition , and pretty good palm rejection . sometimes though , I actually turn off the capacitive touch screen during meeting so that only the pen be recognize in order to prevent any accidental jump around on the display . this be easily do on the Windows control panel . I have use a few other tablet for this purpose , a Gigabyte t1028 , and a Lenovo Thinkpad convertable x220 . obviously , neither of those we Slate tablet , so it might not be fair to compare they directly , but I like this Samsung Series 7 Slate much better for my purpose . it be easily more portable and it be handwriting recognition work as well if not better than that on the Lenovo , which before this I would have call the standard . for my primary purpose , this be a great system . as far as typing , like typing on any tablet , the touch screen keyboard take get use to . Samsung provide a swype style keyboard as standard software that you can set as you default keyboard to replace the Windows touch screen keyboard , and it work well if you get use to it . but realistically , if I be typing long paragraph , then I pull out the bluetooth keyboard - it be small enough for I to throw in my bag every day along with the Slate . handwriting recognition by Windows be pretty good , if you have never use it . I suggest take the time to go through the `` learn you handwriting style '' feature in the Tools menu to help set it up , but it also natively learn you handwriting as you make correction , so it become a quick way to enter text after a while . honestly , I almost never use the touch screen keyboard at all , it be either the handwriting tool or the bluetooth keyboard and it work well for I . the system , because it be run a powerful i5 processor , do seem to heat up at time , but never seem to be dangerously hot . and I have easily have less powerful laptop that run hotter than this slate do . and the cooling system and fan be relatively quiet as well . I have no issue with cooling or sound . the solid state drive make this system super fast ! I have Windows 8 Consumer Preview load on a partition of the hard drive while retain my Windows 7 HP factory install partition that I use for most work function . switching between the two by log out and reboot literally only take about 20 - 30 seconds . call up document and pdf file be almost instantaneous at time . the hard drive itself -lrb- at least the 128 gb model -rrb- be pre-partitioned with a 19.8 gb system restore partition . this leave you with about 100 gb of actual space , with about 8.5 take up by Windows 7 and the preloaded Samsung software . for I , after load the system with Photoshop , Office Professional , and my civilization game I have 65 gb leave . so there be lot of space , as much as the largest ipad -lrb- just something to consider -rrb- and there be a option to create you own system restore disk , so you can theoretically wipe the whole drive clean I suppose and end up with about 80 + gb of free storage space after software install . the battery life be really good for I . like I say , I use it mainly for meeting note and mark up document . use the Slate in this manner , along with about 30 min - a hour of web browse give I about 5.5 hour of battery life on a full charge . I easily make it a full 8 hour day without recharge because I use the power button to put the system to sleep anytime I set it down . -lrb- the system wake up in less than 2 seconds and you can set a quick picture password use the Samsung system manager software so literally I wake the system up and I be back to take note in less than 4 seconds . -rrb- like I say in the beginning , for I , this system do it all and it be about as light and portable as my kindle . the only place I could see myself miss my old Thinkpad would be when I be on the plane , as I could see the set up be a little less stable in that sort of environment than a standard laptop . anywhere else however and I be happy to pull this out all the time . so for the cost of this system , if you plan to use it like I do , as pretty much a replacement for you be standard laptop , then I would say it be worth the price . I love it . +414 Keyboard POS 5 all right , so I pretty much have this keyboard for about 2 month now and I can say that the curve style can be a little hard to get use to but as soon as you get use to it its very easy and rather quiet to type on , it feel good and it just look pretty call +671 Keyboard NEG 1 Mine break in 85 day the 2 key fall off and then it be all confuse when it type . the light only come on when I hit the key and then any letter I hit repeat continuously . till then it be great . +766 Keyboard POS 5 I enjoy the new large letter keyboard . i have cataract in both eye and the keyboard allow I to see with letter better . thank you for develop the large letter keyboard . +990 Keyboard POS 5 I have be develop software use this keyboard for 8 year , and I can not work without it now . some of the key take more time to get use to -lrb- the arrow and bracket -rrb- but after a few week , I have no problem . before I get this keyboard I be have frequent wrist pain . since buy my first Kinesis contour keyboard I have not have a single twinge of pain . it may well have save my career . I now own three of they , and I have have no issue with the build quality . I just wish they be cheaper ! +609 Keyboard POS 4 this be a great keyboard with only a couple minor flaw . the hotkey be awesome once ya get use to they however i sometimes nick one and open soemthing i didnt want to open . the media control be a good idea but poorly execute . the volume be not a smooth change , instead it actually be about 20 different volume , so as you turn it up there be sharp change in the sound . also the best sound i have find be generally in between the one you can select so i end up use my volume control on my head phone rather than the keyboard . the depth of the keyboard be pretty deep too , if i have it at a angle , the corner hang off of my desk . +635 Keyboard POS 4 I have not use it as much as I could , but it have do exactly what I expect . I connect it to my vizio vtab108 easily . I type something on evernote and on dolphin browser . feel a bit weak but the key respond well . +78 Keyboard POS 5 i receive it today and i like it so far ... they be perfectly fit in my keyboard so i do not have any problem about it ... i just expect the color would be more hot pink but its kinda light pink ... over all its fantastic and so cute ... +783 Keyboard NEG 1 I be originally psych to get this for Christmas , but after unwrap and play with it for a while , I realize that it be quite limited . for example , it do not fit unless you ipad be completely out of any and all case that you might have around it . second , and more frustratingly , the iPhone 4 do not fit in it ! I be go to return and buy the bluetooth keyboard instead . at least that will work on my iMac , my iPhone , and my ipad . +404 Keyboard POS 5 love the curb too , the bevel around the keyboard be a minor touch but be perfect for grab the keyboard without press a key . great quality . +42 Keyboard POS 4 this be certainly the promptest vine review I have do ; I get this keyboard 20 minute ago and be use it to type this review . I be the third reviewer of this item , and the other two do not seem thrill by the small mouse , and one of they also by the keyboard . but I have get to say I like they both just fine . the keyboard have a number of very cool feature , chief amongst they the special feature button up top . they let you instantly access you home page , you email page , scroll through all you open page and pause to open any of they , and my favorite : the music button . there be a mute button -lrb- super useful and beat scramble to find it on you screen when some website suddenly blast you -rrb- , ff and rw button , and up and down volume button . plus there be a wmp button that open it instantly ; you can get you tune go mighty quick with this keyboard . and that be very useful indeed if you listen to music constantly . as a freelance writer who be use many keyboard I enjoy this one , and I write at about 2,000 word a hour so I need a crisp touch ; the key here bounce back at the rate I like they to and I can type very quickly . Zero complaint . if I have any as I use this over the next week or month , I 'll definitely edit this . if there be nothing after this sentence in parenthesis , then I still like it ! the tab on the bottom top of the keyboard raise it up the right amount , not too little as with many wireless kb . here be the best thing about wireless kb : they let you sit farther away from the laptop and its screen and thus lessen the strain on eye and body . very useful , and this let you spend much more time on the computer with much less discomfort . if you use a computer at work try a wireless kb and see what a huge difference it can make , also by let you raise the screen to be level with you eye instead of make you neck crane down all day . for those with a PS3 or other console with internet on it , a wireless keyboard will also let you sit on the sofa and easily use you tv screen as you computer screen : a very nice feature indeed . this kb work from far across my room , as do the mouse . nice . as for the tiny mouse , yes , it be rather small , and I have not use it enough to see if it will wear out my hand as the other reviewer claim . I be not exactly small -- 6 ' 2 '' -- so we 'll see . so far it feel fine . I like its tight circle ... you move it a tiny bit and it cover the screen , so it be not like you be roll it all over the desk to move the cursor . and as a guitarist I kinda like the workout for my right hand finger , which should help my hybrid Travis pick . all in all , this be one of the better wireless keyboard I have use , and for the price , with mouse include , it seem like a good deal . +953 Keyboard POS 4 it be not the most fantastic keyboard in the world , in particular it seem to have some minor spelling issue -lrb- : but it be okay . the best part of this be how much easier it be for work with my laptop . I be never comfortable try to balance the thing on my lap and hunch over try to type with it on some other surface be even worse . with this , I put the laptop on a flat surface in front of I , increase the size of the print and sit with the keyboard in my lap . my mother also like be able to type without have to worry about rub on the touchpad and mess thing up . +673 Keyboard NEG 2 Mine be not at all like the color in the picture . do not fit my keyboard either . quite disappointed , but maybe I just get a bad one -- hopefully they be not all like this . +976 Keyboard POS 4 I buy this case for my daughter 's computer . it look great and do the job . she do not use the keyboard cover . for what I spend it be a bargain ! +644 Keyboard POS 5 Great little keyboard in the style of a Mac keyboard . small footprint allow the user to place the mouse in a better position . I have extreme right shoulder pain for a month before I realize it be from my work mouse be too far away from I -- it be outside a massively wide keyboard that force my arm into a uncomfortable angle to maneuver my mouse . within a week of get this little keyboard -lrb- along with the wow pen Joy Vertical Ergonomic Optical Mouse Black by Ergoguys a great added plus to this keyboard be that it include a little ` delete ' key -lrb- different from a ` backspace ' key -rrb- in the top right hand corner -- something I really miss on my wireless Mac keyboard at home . it be right where the ` eject ' button would be on the Mac . I use it all the time , and wish that the Mac have one too . this be a great keyboard and I highly recommend it . it could only be better if it be wireless ... but for the price and the benefit I have get from it , I just can not complain . I even decide not to turn in the receipt to my boss -- I buy it myself so I could take it with I if I leave ! ; - -rrb- +101 Keyboard POS 5 this be a great keyboard for many . I buy this keyboard from the review and can not blame anyone but myself for not like it . but in case there be someone else out there like I , let I get out a few fact . this be not a slim keyboard , in fact I be surprise it be so thick after see the picture . this keyboard have plunger style key which for a person that only use scissor style keyboard be a big disappointed . the keyboard have semi-flat keycap which be true but I think the keyboard be so thick to make up for it not have the normal height keycap -lrb- just a guess -rrb- . why do I give this a 5 if it be not what I want ? First of all , the unifying technology from logitech be great . I already have a unifying receiver install from a logitech mouse so when I get the keyboard out of the box I have it work in literally seconds . the keyboard be well make and feel sturdy . the key action for this plunger style keyboard be very good ... but that like say the ford fiesta be fast when compare to other car under $ 13k . lol . the gloss black do not seem to be a problem for I . people might need to wash they hand a little more often . I use this keyboard for a few day and they give it to someone at work who be still really enjoy it . +872 Keyboard POS 4 I have be travel since June '12 with the new ipad3\/trent case . so far , I be pleased with both product . still on a learning curve with the ipad . Chuckle , the trent be create first and the ipad make to give it a purpose . if the trent be steal and the ipad leave behind I would not be surprise . only problem I be try to resolve with the trent keyboard be how to protect it from spill and junk . I can not find a super thin cover for it yet . use clear saran wrap until something better come along . learn a lesson the hard way with keyboard and junk . enjoy , gary +49 Keyboard POS 5 the Ergo keyboard 4000 be a really terrific keyboard have three significant benefit over my last favorite keyboard , the m natural keyboard pro . the first be the terrific riser in the front , create a negative tilt . to create this tilt on the pro , I have to elevate my wrist by use a piece of 2 by 4 cut to match the keyboard and then equip with a wrist rest . the new Ergo have both the height and the rest set up perfectly . note that if you have you keyboard set on a table or tray that be too high , this would be awkward . when the keyboard be set up properly -lrb- forearm parallel to the floor see site http:\/\/www.ergoindemand.com\/ergonomic-keyboarding.htm -rrb- , the Ergo be extremely kind to you wrist and the best I have ever use . the lift can be remove but please try to use it , the negative tilt be a terrific ergo device . the second improvement be that the key be much better . they take to edge hit much better than the old keyboard . there be also a lot less noisy than the pro . -lrb- there be indeed a dead spot on the extreme upper corner of the space bar but I have never notice it - I have to contort my thumb just to hit the spacebar like that and be a very unnatural -rrb- . the third improvement be the wealth of special key , especially the favorite key and the f lock and num lock key that remember they setting . the favorite can start a program that you choose while the other silver key can do command -lrb- like copy , paste , and exit -rrb- . the back\/forward button I find pretty much useless as I have these set up on my mouse . the zoom key be use to change text size which work well for my old trifocal eye . negative ? Pretty large keyboard , black , and the wrist rest be padded but not a cushy as my old gel one . this be the way keyboard should be make . +227 Keyboard NEG 1 from the instant i plug in the usb receiver to the moment i throw the keyboard into a closet in a rage , this combo have give I nothing but trouble . while the mouse work just fine -lrb- although it be too small for I -rrb- , the keyboard should be recycle immediately off the assembly line . it be repeatedly launch iTunes and skip letter . for example , i can not type a capital r use the left shift key . i contact logitech support , but they could not or would not do anything to fix the problem . all driver be up to date and setpoint refuse to be of use . if you buy it , i hope you be one of the lucky one . +317 Keyboard POS 4 this work really great on my Mac Book . it be really necessary to prevent those white key from get dirty and to keep out crumbs\/dust . I type so much that six month later , the color on some of the most frequently use key be start to wear off , but it still work fine . it be not so much purple as it be bright pinkish-purple . +826 Keyboard POS 4 Logitech make awesome keyboard and mouse . Logitech make a mouse -lrb- v220 -rrb- that last I 3 year and have great support service . good stuff . this mk550 combo be no exception . very ergonomic . the keyboard and mouse be both programmable . something to point out : 1 . the keypad have a wavy contour make for ergonomic purpose . some may not like it . personally , I do not mind it . 2 . the padding on keyboard provide the wrist a comfortable rest while typing . 3 . the mouse work great and all , BUT it be not glossy as I anticipate to be . the surface be somewhat rough and unfinished . my brother have the same model mouse -lrb- m510 -rrb- , but he be glossy . so I do not know if amazon or logitech cheap out or what , but that be my only complaint . +52 Keyboard NEU 3 Disapointed in the `` super-loose '' feel of the mouse scroll wheel and the mouse 's smallish overall size . also , I would have prefer a larger keyboard delete key which be on other model . +646 Keyboard POS 5 First off , I be typing this review on the New Trent Airblue BT keyboard after a full day of use at work without be plug in . I expect if it have similar battery life to New Trent 's other offering , the Airbender keyboard\/case , it will easily make it through another day before need to be charge , if not longer . the Airblue be beutiful and instantly draw compliment from my co-worker in the office . `` it be like a baby MacBook '' be hear more than once . keyboard size and key spacing be generous and when compare to the Apple BT keyboard many of we use at we desk for we desktop computer , it be practically the same size , mean you now have near desktop level typing capabilite with you ipad2 . all the special function key like volume , play\/pause , brightness adjust , screen lock , etc work great and only serve to enhance the seamless integration between the keyboard and the ipad2 . beware though that the keyboard maintain the device simply by means of gravity and the angle of it be channel , so you will want to be careful when grab it and take it mobile , or you will quickly remember that it be not in fact a netbook , as you prize posession fall to the desk or ground with a clatter leave you hold the lightweight and elegant keyboard all by itself . great keyboard and major conversation starter because everyone will think you have a ninja MacBook they have not even hear of yet ! +384 Keyboard NEG 1 I get the rius and like it fine , until it do not work . I think there may have be some sort of power surge when I charge it , whatever it be , it just quit . since then I buy a larger size wireless keyboard with trackball and I wish now that I have get that in the first place . there be no laser pointer but I do not care about that . I probably only use it a handful of time before it die . something to consider . +613 Keyboard POS 5 I be look one mini wireless keyboard for my nokium n8 symbian . after I be loke many keyboard option , I decide buy this product , and be a good election . the keyboard do work fine with my nokium n8 , and with my computer . actualy , I be studyng and I bring this keyboard at the classroom , and I be use my celphone like a computer . I type in microsoft word perfectly , and excel too . also , I can to conect my cellphone to my tv and enjoy youtube , -lrb- for example -rrb- , use the perixx keyboard . also , the touchpad do work fine , like a personal computer , like the seller describe it . only , this keyboard be a little hard , therefore , in general , I recomend that . +719 Keyboard POS 5 this be a standard Dell keyboard . as such it be very high quality , it be great to find one at this price . +997 Keyboard POS 4 Works pretty good . my only complaint be they do not send the color I order but for the price they be pretty good . +661 Keyboard POS 5 it be light and easy to use . Perfect for someone with a heavy laptop who like to sit on the couch and work . highly recommend . just remember that if the keyboard start misfire , it most likely means that it be time to change the battery . +193 Keyboard POS 4 I have be need a new keyboard for a while and when I find this inexpensive one that be wireless and come with a mouse I have to get it ! it work fantastically . very nice , sturdy , do not move when you type or anything . there be 2 thing I wish I have though and I would have love it more if it be a back-lit keyboard and you can not tell if the num lock key and cap lock key have no indication of whether it be on or not . the battery life be great though . I have have this for two day now and I use both keyboard and mouse frequently and they seem to be last a long time , not indication of less battery life or anything . great product . I would recommend this to anybody look for a replacement keyboard and or mouse ! +190 Keyboard NEG 1 I recently purchase the Logitech Media Keyboard . the numeric key on the right side of keyboard do not work . it come with almost no write instruction -lrb- I would have be satisfy with something print on the box -rrb- . Logitech help do not offer 24 hour \/ seven day a week support . -lrb- they must not have pay they Indian & Russian phone bill ! -rrb- the key imprint look like they be put on with whiteout and they must have be try to save money because they be at least 1\/64th of a inch long . the CIA should buy Logitech 967740-0403 Internet 350 Vista Qualified Usb Keyboard - black altogether a complete waste of money and perfectly good cheap plastic ! +41 Keyboard POS 5 work great !! go the best buy way and have to return asap as they key board have a range of 3 foot this unit work great up to 30 foot away from laptop hook to plasma tv +155 Keyboard NEG 2 I like the keyboard on the zaggmate case , but it have be impossible to keep the case shut . I have have numerous people try , but no one can figure it out . I be very disappointed for pay $ 99 dollar . I -lrb- be wonder if they send I the case for ipad 1 instead of case for ipad 2 . +892 Keyboard POS 5 this keyboard cover exceed my expectation . it fit perfect on Mac keyboard and feel great too . for less than $ 3.00 , I could not ask for more and completely satisfy with its build quality . would recommend to anyone who be look for Mac laptop keyboard cover . +98 Keyboard POS 5 I absolutely love this keyboard and mouse . it be so easy to set up . plug in the usb piece -lrb- it look like a jumpdrive -rrb- and from there my computer read the new equipment . then all I have to do be pull the tab piece from the battery compartment of the keyboard and the mouse and that be it . there be a power button on both so you can turn each one off individually or they automatically go into hibernation if not use for a few minute . I love how responsive the mouse be and the fact that it have a back and forward button right on the mouse . the scroll button work super fast . the keyboard be very comfy . it have a display to tell you how much battery power it have leave . the f-key be preprograme and have little icon on they to tell you what they can be use for . that be especially nice since before I have pretty much never use f-key . there be also key on the board for music -lrb- next , repeat , volume , ect -rrb- and I also love that . one other feature that I love the most be the button to pull up the calculator and its right on the keyboard . maybe other keyboard have this feature , but my last one do not , so it be nice not have to go and find it or hunt for my handheld one when I be help one of my kid with they math , or do my own math . I really can not think of anything else that I would like add to either the mouse or keyboard . +754 Keyboard POS 4 the keyboard itself be beautiful , and there have be no issue with mine so far . that be say , one need to treat the keyboard with care , as a well-executed knee chop by a 2nd grader will probably snap the entire thing in two . it be fairly well construct , but it be not mean to take much stress or abuse . stack heavy object on top be not advisable . I actually buy this keyboard to use on my Macbook run Windows 7 64 bit through bootcamp , and I must say that this keyboard work extremely well . it be a bit of a challenge get the keyboard to work the way you want it on Windows , but if you download all the necessary driver assume this one operate on the same driver and software as the Windows version , you 'll be able to have you cake and eat it , too . the process take some time , as well as trial and error -lrb- the keyboard be not exactly mean to be use on Windows -rrb- , but for those of you wonder , it will work just fine without any 3rd party application . the lack of dedicated num lock and scroll lock key be annoying , though shortcut be available online for you to see . num lock be , for example , shift + clear , but the lack of this key be hardly something to complain about . the worst feature be that the fn key be where print screen should be , and be fairly annoying to use . besides that , typing be not really a pain . people have complain about the lack of a cap lock indicator , but at least on Windows 7 , you get a notifaction on the screen regard whether or not you have just enable or disabled cap lock . this be not really a solution , but it do lessen the severity of the issue . strangely , on MacOS , 10.6 . x , my Logitech software could not detect my keyboard as to allow I to make modification to my keyboard setting . in the end , I could not exactly figure out the reason , so I leave it alone , but it be something to beware of . overall , I be highly satisfy with the actual product . +986 Keyboard POS 5 this keyboard be a excellent replacement for a aging Logitech keyboard I have I would definitely buy again , but probably will not need to because from my experience Logitech product be build to last . pro - very sleek design , quick media key , volume etc. . con - none +798 Keyboard NEU 3 overall the keyboard be ok for the price . the one complaint i have be that the letter `` a '' key tend to stick and i have to press it more than once . layout be fine . +524 Keyboard POS 5 wow ! I be a -lrb- girl -rrb- gamer and I have be want this for quite some time now and I be thrill . the key be so smooth ! typing be a breeze with this . I love that I can control my speaker with the wheel on the right side without have to go into sound setting or the volume control on the speaker themselves . it make it much easier when it be right there in front of you . I have yet to use the macro as I have be a bit too busy play game to be honest , but I plan to fill they all soon . it will be nice to not have to type all the information now that it be a simple press of a key . my profile disk would not work , but get the dl on Logitech 's web site be no problem . I have be miss out and really glad that I finally get this . it be more than worth the wait ! +895 Keyboard POS 5 I buy my first m natural keyboard over 10 year ago to help with carpal issue . I can not imagine how many time I have press each key but my first keyboard finally fail after more than 10 year ... so I buy another one just like the first . as I recall , it take a few day to get use to not have to scrunch my elbow into my ample side to position my hand on the key . once I get use to hold my hand in a `` natural '' position it immediately become evident to I how much nicer this type of keyboard be compare to the `` standard '' inline keyboard . for the price it seem like a great buy to I . if you amortize the purchase cost over the life of the keyboard it be very inexpensive . I use my computer everyday and do not expect to ever use anything but a natural keyboard . it work for I and I would recommend it to everyone . +802 Keyboard POS 4 perfect fit my 15 '' thinkpad t530 . the width be just the same as my computer . simple and good ! I like it . it would be better if a little cheaper . +724 Keyboard POS 5 I buy this keyboard for use with my Dell Axim x5 pocket pc and I be very pleased so far ! I try a similar product from Belkin and it do not work at all ! within 2 minute of open the box , this keyboard be set up and ready to go . in fact , I be typing this review on it now ! the only drawback be that some of the key be smaller than they would be on a standard keyboard , but if this be not the case , it would not be nearly as portable . I think I will get use to this anyway . overall , this be a cheap and convenient solution for anyway who want to be able to type anything of any length on the road and get tired of use the graffitus system . +361 Keyboard POS 5 so good skin for Macbook pro . black color match well with key board , look classic . I use it for my Macbook pro 15 '' and Macbook 13 '' laptop . +178 Keyboard POS 4 this allow I to lay in the bed and use my computer on my wall mount lcd . it be like im use a tv remote to surf the net . it be very responsive and intuitive . I love the backlit keyboard . +617 Keyboard POS 5 this be my second Microsoft Natural Elite keyboard . the first one I have meet a untimely death when I accidentally dump a cup of coffee into it after 10 year of faithful service . the new keyboard have a even nicer touch , and the black color now match the rest of my computer component . the keyboard seem almost as if it be custom design for my hand , as my hand `` naturally '' fall into position above the key . I love the Windows key shortcut , which be a plus with all Microsoft keyboard , but I find a new undocumented feature , and a nifty one at that : the space bar function as a page down key , as well as page up when use in combination with the shift key . I be not sure if the older keyboard have this function as well . a nice add touch be that with the include adapter , you can use it with either a PS\/2 or usb port . I use the PS\/2 port to save the usb port on my computer for other use . Amazon 's price on this be the best I could find , and be a prime member , I receive it in 2 day , shipping include . great design , great quality , great price . +705 Keyboard POS 4 the key board look very good , light , a lot of function , but the touch pad not work good when you double touch on it , sometime need to touch 4-5 time to get it work . that be it . +461 Keyboard NEG 1 I brood on buy the virtually indestructible keyboard for several month . all the review I read tell I not to do it , but I do anyway . so why should not you buy this keyboard ? simply put , the key touch response be horrible . you can not fly over the key like you do with a normal keyboard , because they require a lot of pressure to input the letter you be typing . second , the key be lay out strangely . for instance , the spacebar be actually two key instead of one long , thin bar . so if you hit the middle of you spacebar by habit , you thumb will land in-between the two . also , the backspace button be the size of a normal letter key , which make it difficult to reach when touch typing . it be just very poorly design and not useful to anyone who type by touch . however , the illumination be pretty neat , and it do roll up as describe . I be hope it would work out for I so I could wipe it off when I spill a soda or drop a crumb in-between the key ... but this be not my solution , unfortunately . I can only recommend this keyboard to someone who be a `` hunt and peck '' kind of user , since they will probably be able to focus enough pressure on the key that the stiff input will not affect they typing style . for the speed typer , someone who use they computer nearly all day every day , stay far away . +481 Keyboard POS 5 great keyboard and mouse . the keyboard look and feel great . solid and well build , but not heavy . the mouse be the best I have ever own . no connectivity issue for I . this set be a little expensive but I recommend it to anyone . +454 Keyboard NEG 2 Doesnt fit the keyboard verywell at all , so with that say kinda pointless but that color and quality come out good +148 Keyboard POS 4 the keyboard fit perfectly . nice feel . the only thing be miss the keyboard mouse stick which be part of the original Dell laptop . +60 Keyboard NEG 2 during first-time setup the revue install the 3.1 Honeycomb update in around 20 minute . yes , the media player be seriously lack . I mean , it do not even support external subtitle . my 3.5 year old wdtv be infinitely better at play file from usb drive . for online video , I be almost happy with the revue , but then I try to play a full episode of Conan from teamcoco.com and the shockwave plug-in keep on crash . I try the same video on my laptop and they play flawlessly . the android market sound good , but so far all the app for the revue be really worthless . I return the revue since it can not replace my WDTV and it do not reliably play online video -lrb- other than YouTube -rrb- . +721 Keyboard NEG 2 while the case secure the laptop nicely and look well build the integrate keyboard fail within a week of purchase with less than 2 hour use . +995 Keyboard POS 4 the keyboard be ment for child . adult may find it hard to use . however , my child get a kick out of the wonderful color . my suggestion would be to have it hook up for you child then just plug in yours when yu want to use it . I find it durable and great for baby and toddler . my six month old love to just bang on the key . then it wont ruin my keyboard . +659 Keyboard NEU 3 first let I just say that I be not a big fan of razer product -lrb- still not a big fan -rrb- and be aware of they keyboard life expectancy . I be tear between a Blackwidow and a Steelseries 6gv2 and ultimately go with the Blackwidow for it be macro key . unlike most rumor about this keyboard , I can tell you this keyboard be as durable as any blue key mechanical keyboard could be . the key switch themselves be very comfortable to type on and as someone who spend the majority of he day on he computer , I can tell you that typing have never feel more comfortable . the click noise can be see as a good or bad . this keyboard make ALOT of noise when typing . I myself be a fan of it but if you live with a roommate you may want to avoid this keyboard . the keyboard itself contain 5 easily customizable macro key that be easily reachable during gaming . the key themselves use blue switch . compare to black , they be less durable or weaker but much more comfortable to type on and click the moment you type on it oppose to black switch which require you to push all the way down for the click . the keyboard itself also can only be attach via usb meaning it be limit to a 2 nkro -lrb- key rollover -rrb- meaning it can only perform 2 key function at one time although keep in mind that you would rarely need more than 2 since you ussualy play with a mouse as well . overall this be a great product and despite Razer 's keyboard record , this keyboard be a good buy . this keyboard however be mediocre compare to other hardcore gaming mechanical keyboard but if this be you first mechanical keyboard then this would be the perfect one to get . UPDATE : interestingly enough , several of the key on my keyboard stop function a day after I write how amazing this keyboard be and I have only have it for 2 week . those interested in this purchase be warn that some key may stop work after long period of gaming . +715 Keyboard NEG 2 buy it and think it be great . then I notice that touchpad tap could not be disabled . nor could touchpad scrooling . talk to manufacturer , they say the device have no driver other than the microsoft pnp one and that these two feature be not available . this be a real problem if you do not hunt-n-peck type . if you type like you be suppose to for speed , this keyboard be problematic . the touchpad be extremely sensative -lrb- not changable -rrb- and if you inadvertently drag you thumb across it the cursor go all over the place , and so do you typing . until Adesso come up with a driver that can : 1 -rrb- disable tape on touchpad , 2 -rrb- disable scrool on touchpad , 3 -rrb- decrease sensativity of touchpad I would say this be a no-buy product . but it do have potential , just unrealized . +89 Keyboard POS 4 this be great keyboard . Works well and have a decent range . I be use the keyboard with ubuntu . it fire right up . Logitech do not support Ubntu so do not expect all the bell and whistle . the only thing that be miss be the ability to tilt up . a feature that come on just about every keyboard no matter how cheap . +786 Keyboard NEG 2 I have think i would go on a whim to get a new keyboard case for my unibody macbook pro . my previous one from another seller -lrb- gtmax Aluminum Unibody Apple MacBook Keyboard Cover -rrb- be very durable , washable , and reusable . this one feel thin . though I pick a green color cover the black of the key show through in blotch in the place where my key have wear down . the green color be not exactly paint all the way for the arrow key . however I have to say the fitting be pretty good that it do not slide off . overall , I feel like I need to get another one because it be not as great as I expect it to be . +522 Keyboard NEG 2 for the 2 month that it work , it be better than other minus keyboard\/trackball combo that I have try -lrb- but that be not say much at all , since they be almost all terrible -rrb- . one thing I like most about this over other be that it rarely need to be resynch . the trackball work pretty well for be so tiny , and the mouse buttons\/scroll wheel be nice . but today , after use the keyboard for probably only 5-15 minute per week over the last couple of month , it have go haywire . press most key on the keyboard now result in the keyboard send multiple keystroke to the computer . for example , the `` g '' key send `` gv '' . I be past the Amazon 30-day guarantee , so I 'll have to try to deal with the manufacturer Adesso . +940 Keyboard POS 4 this keyboard be the mac daddy of keyboard to date . the Eclipse II come w\/3 different color -lrb- blue , red and purple -lrb- though in actuallity it be more pinkish then purple ... very light -rrb- -rrb- with the option of no backlight and a adjustment nob for change the light intensity . the key function well and , as a hard core gamer , I would highly recomend the Saitek Eclipse II keyboard . I rate this a 4\/5 -lrb- though I would make it a 4.5 out of 5 if it be a option -rrb- only because the blue be not bright enough for my taste . if we could increase the intensity of the light another 50 % then even the small etching on the key -lrb- the symbol like \* & % $ # @ -rrb- would be more visible . it be still the best keyboard I have ever own . my three boy -lrb- 9,7 & 5 year old -rrb- also love it . it be also very easy to change you current choice of backlight color . it be well worth the price and a very cool addition to a gamer 's pc . +30 Keyboard POS 5 this be my third mk320 wireless 2.4 Ghz keyboard\/mouse combo system -lrb- on ' 2 ' separate ` desktop ' computer system and ' 1 ' laptop computer -rrb- and I remain very impressed with its performance . please take note : I have have no difficulty use the mk320 on ` desktop ' system but keep this in mind -- on ` desktop ' system and especially if you have other usb device already present , it can take -lrb- at least initially -rrb- up to a full minute for Windows to set the thing up because Windows will internally search for a pathway for the usb ` receiver ' that you plug into a available usb port so as not to conflict with other usb device . once Windows do that , it become almost instantaneous . I mention this because some folk have report -lrb- on Amazon and other forum -rrb- that the mk320 will not work on desktop system but it most decidedly ` do ' work on desktop system but that first connection may , as I say , and you happen to have various usb plug-in , or quite possibly even if you do not , take up to a minute as Windows set it up internally and after that it be smooth sailing , as they say . I also like the idea that the mk320 system go into a sort of sleep mode if you forget to shut the device off and this handy electronic circuit within the keyboard and mouse save the battery ! in fact , I do not even bother to shut the device off and that ` sleep ' mode with any protracted non-use keep the battery -lrb- \*\* 2 AAA 's for the keyboard and 1 aa for the mouse -rrb- fresh . in effect , it sens system non usage and essentially shut itself down . it be quick too in term of the mouse when use same , no lag time like older ` wireless ' system use to do and here I credit the 2.4 Ghz technology for the better no-lag response speed . and best of all , it require no pesky driver ! the only requirement be that you have Windows xp or higher -lrb- Vista or Windows 7 -rrb- . so too , that chart describe the mk320 as compare to the higher price Logitech system be in error as the mk320 system ` do ' have a on\/off switch on both the mouse and the keyboard and , on the mouse , a battery life indicator although the keyboard do not have a battery life indicator . the keyboard have those two user set plastic tab for keyboard ` slant ' adjustment and I find this most helpful or , conversely , you can keep the two ` slant ' tab flat and hence have the keyboard lay perfectly flat . you call . I especially like the fact that the small usb plug-in receiver control ` both ' device -lrb- mouse and keyboard -rrb- and set the thing up be quite simple . one tip and to avoid a Windows message that it can not find a keyboard or mouse , start you system as you normally do with the old wire keyboard and wire mouse as usual , then , when Windows start , plug in the usb receiver for the mk320 , ` wait ' until Windows find the non conflicting pathway -lrb- which could take up to a minute depend on you system and what it have in its ` innards ' ! -rrb- , and when both mk320 device start to function , simply pull the cord of the wire original mouse and keyboard and the mk320 ` combo ' will take over . battery be include with the mk320 but make sure that those shipment `` pull here '' paper tab -lrb- to activate the already in place battery -rrb- be ` fully ' remove because if only part of it come out in you hand , a small piece of the paper tab may be block the battery contact but that you can not see under the battery cover . check that ! finally this , if you have more than one of these wireless system of the same manufacture , viz. , the Logitech mk320 , if other system which use the identical mk320 be too close then obviously mouse or keyboard usage can ` extend ' to the other system because , hey , it be a wireless system ! check the distance between machine if you use the identical wireless system for more than one computer system to avoid wireless overlap . Doc Tony +878 Keyboard POS 5 ok - this thing be really inexpensive ; which be great . I really only buy it for the colorful splash it would give my computer , and it do that perfectly . here be the irony of the whole purchase ... within a half hour of the box deliver , a spill 1\/2 a open soda all over my laptop . without this sweet cover , my computer would have be toast . BEST $ 5 I have ever spent !! +352 Keyboard POS 4 this thing fit perfectly onto the Macbook Air 3rd generation ! and since the key be black no one can even tell you have a cover on ! I have now officially grubby finger proof my keyboard . however , those buy this for the 3rd gen Macbook air , the top f key row , the print label on the key cover do not quite match up with the actual key . the power key be label as the Eject key instead . no biggie , I think I can handle a few mismatch on the top row of key I hardly use anyways . if they come out with one specificially for the new Air , I would get it for sure . how can you beat this price ? update : the design of the air have the speaker come from the keyboard ... have a cover on the keyboard do block some of the sound ... +674 Keyboard POS 4 get one from a friend a day or two ago , in brand new condition , more or less . look good , type awesomely . only gripe be the short freakin cord . also can not power a xbox 360 controller through the usb hub . +119 Keyboard POS 4 for those want to print directly onto cd-r and dvd-r media at a reasonable cost , this printer be for you . the built-in keyboard provide the means of create relatively plain to fairly elaborate print material . as note in a previous review , however , this printer be not the simpliest product to operate or master . it be far from be user-friendly or intuitive . the manual be not very strait-forward either , so be prepare to experiment and learn as you go . nonetheless , the printer produce result that be superior to feel pen and more permanent than those sticky label that be hard to center and lay flat . +160 Keyboard POS 5 buy the wireless keyboard and mouse for use it with my MacBook pro OS X 10.6.8 . Works well for all the basic function . note on keyboard 1 . Amazon state operate only with the window pc but check with Logitech confirm it should work fine with the Macs as well . 2 . out of the `` fn '' key capability I could only make the power off key to work . all the other be tie to operate for window . 3 . from the additional extra feature key locate on the very top of the of the keyboard , I could make only the forward , play , reverse , volume and folder key to work . calculator key do not work . 4 . basic qwerty keyboard work fine . 5 . use the `` window key '' as the Mac command key to operate you regular mac feature . it work well for my need . I have not experience any obvious issue with the mouse and it seem to work fine . as for battery life it all depend on usage but I know its not bad as I have not have to replace battery since I buy it . tip : switch off the keyboard and mouse at the end of the day or whenever you do not intend to use the device for a long period of time . this definitely conserve battery power . +174 Keyboard NEG 1 I buy this because I Thought it would be nice to use on my media pc because it be the size of a remote control . first thing I notice be that the laser point do not work at all . advertise that it have one . I do not need it but if you tell I it be go to have one I expect it to work . that be the first clue about the quality of this . then I use the keyboard after fully charge it and with direct line of sight this would not work right to keyboard or mouse . combine that with the small mouse pad and keyboard and you have to get up and point the device to get it to go more than 10ft away . end of story I return this crap quality device for a small logitech k400 unit a bit larger with full size keyboard and trackpad build in . it work perfectly from around 20 foot away -lrb- all I test -rrb- and the device work perfectly with my Mac pro , linux box , Mac Mini , and Gateway laptop . great handy keyboard to have lay around . just pop the usb dongle in and both mouse and keyboard fire up . this mini piece of junk I have to return . +903 Keyboard POS 5 this case be lightweight and easily snap together to the ipad to protect it . it be ready then to use with the built-in display holder , which give you 3 different angle for view . the case be texture for a positive grip . on initial use , the keyboard feel small , but of course it need to be as compact as the design of the iPad . I soon become comfortable use it and of course I enjoy the capability of have such a handy compact keyboard to use on the go . no one like lug around a heavy laptop , and this virtually turn you ipad into a laptop , only much smaller and lighter ! to wake the ipad from sleep , you can tap the keyboard and it be ready to go again . the keyboard have several ipad function assign to key . Speaker control key , play function for music , copy , paste , cut , lock the ipad and more - all from this little keyboard ! it be also possible to use another case and still utilize the keyboard . you would have to carry it separately though . if you use a keyboard a lot , you will want to keep everything together in the New Trent Bluetooth wireless keyboard kit . this case keep it all assemble in one package for ready use . +926 Keyboard NEG 1 as a case it be just passable with its bulky cradle and wraparound case that do not protect the pda from the element -lrb- the end be open -rrb- . a $ $ $ case from a myriad of other be much better . as a keyboard it fail miserably . the key be like wiggly soft button that be nothing like a real keyboard . it be impossible to type at any reasonable speed , let alone touch typing . feedback from the key be horrible , you do not know if a key be register or not . the key move slightly , but nothing like a real keyboard . I now use a Palm Portable keyboard -lrb- like the stowaway -rrb- and it be like day and nite compare to this thing . full size key , full travel , a amazing design . I love Logitech product , but somehow they lose they way with this thing . what be they think ? +678 Keyboard POS 4 well , for the price , this be a nice , bare bone keyboard . it do type fairly quietly and have a nice tight feel to it , and the screen respond quickly to what be type . I do not give it 5 star because the letter on the key be start to fade . I will spend more money next time and -lrb- hopefully -rrb- get a keyboard that have better quality lettering . +939 Keyboard POS 5 Windows 7 will update driver for this unit , ps3 will recognize this unit let you use keyboard and mouse from one usb from the ps3 -lrb- anyone know if this work for xbox 360 ? -rrb- . Zero lag if you be within 15 foot of receiver , can use over 8 hour long for long gaming session . only take about 5 hour to top off battery recharge . keyboard only take 2 aa battery and will last 3 week of use . Box come with battery . mouse be pretty light and groove be not so small that human skin wont get stick into the crack . Yeh , that nasty but everyone who clean a mouse can apreciate that . Zero side button = fail -lrb- useful reload and auto run button -rrb- . no software that will let you overide exist plug in keyboard or mouse to enable you to use Gyration wireless unit . all in sense , its like what every average person would want . adaptable and easy to use . just plug and play . +577 Keyboard POS 5 I have search high and low over the year for a keyboard to duplicate the typing bliss I find back in the day with my IBM Model m keyboard . the DAS Professional , I have to say , far surpass the old IBM , in my opinion . my son find a IBM Model m keyboard for I the other day and I be as excite as one could be . I use it for for a week wait for the DAS to arrive in the mail . as soon as I type on the DAS , my love affair with the IBM Model m be history , I be sorry to say . I type a lot in my job . the DAS keyboard have the wonderful clicky sound and the amazing feel that you get from typing on a mechanical keyboard but without the strain on my finger and hand that I start to notice with the IBM keyboard . I realize after use the DAS that I have to push down a little harder on the key with the IBM than I like . not so with the DAS . I be in typing Heaven ! +937 Keyboard NEG 1 I originally give this a high rating but remove it when , after have it for only a couple of week , find that a entire row of key stop work . I originally like the price , about a third of a Apple original , the light and compact frame and the action of the key , but seriously , I will not buy this brand again and will think twice about the re-seller as well . +816 Keyboard POS 5 the original release of the revue be a disappointment , but the hardware itself be not the problem . Google rush the operating system out before it be ready . a year later , after the Android platform spawn cell phone , tablet and even a satellite , Google have a much better handle on the platform and what work and do not . the newest release of the software for the revue be call Honeycomb , and it be a massive leap forward . when install my revue , it ask if I want to install the update . I eagerly agree and it quickly set itself up . you need to log in to you Google -lrb- Gmail -rrb- account in order to fully take advantage of its feature , but once you do , everything else fall in place . in my setup , I have a TiVo , a Blu Ray Home Theater system from Samsung and a Sony tv . I run hdmus from the TiVo to the Blu Ray player and hdmus from there to the revue and from the revue to the tv . the IR remote attachment that come with the revue let I control channel change and volume on the other two device , but do not think of it as a true universal remote or a manager for the other device , it be not mean for that . the connectivity to the TiVo -lrb- or other dvr -rrb- have one goal : to control channel change . the integration with the playlist on the dvr be poor , so if you buy this as a one-stop controller it will disappoint . however , since it have its own channel listing , it can give you a matrix of movie that be currently play on live tv much the way the Netflix app show you what be in you queue . along with this , be progress bar that show how much of each movie be currently over . the killer feature , though , be browse movie and tv show from internet source . you browse by title , not service . the revue then tell you what service have the movie you want . so , let 's say you want to watch limitless and have a Amazon Prime and Netflix account . the revue will tell you that you can watch it for free on Netflix , for a rental fee on Amazon and for a $ 1.99 fee on YouTube . this one feature make the box worth buying , but as the tv salesman once say , wait : there be more ! the Andorid Market let you buy app just as you would on a android phone . the selection be much , much smaller right now , because not many app vendor be target Google TV yet , but you can add in Google Music to put you whole music collection on the device ; Flixster movie for browse what be currently in theater ; and a number of very nice game , just for starter ! overall , this be the best tv-related device I have purchase since the TiVo . highly recommend ! +591 Keyboard POS 5 this keboard do have small letter ... but overall it have great range and so do the mouse ... and the battery last pretty good so far , couple month in and still go ... I do recommend this at such a great price . there be some really good deal here on Amazon ! happy customer ! +47 Keyboard POS 4 this keyboard have work wonderfully for I so far . like some other review I have see , I wish you have more choice when it come to the color , you really only get red , blue and purple , of vary brightness . the gaming mode be great , I have die many time accidentally click the window key , and that be no longer a issue . the software that come with it be quick and easy to install . I have see people say that they have have trouble with certain key not work everytime , however I have not have the issue once . overall I give it a 4 star review only because I wish there be more color option . +333 Keyboard NEG 2 this illuminated keyboard have a attractive design , but be cheaply make . I need a new keyboard for my computer , and I pick this one because it seem good base on the description . however , it be obvious once use it that it be poorly make -- the key be rigid and stick often , make it difficult to type properly . it may be a full keyboard with hot key , but it seem that the only feature that make this product unique be the fact that the key be illuminate . overall , if you be look for a good illuminated keyboard , this be not it . +850 Keyboard POS 4 you can not beat the price on this keyboard skin . I like that it protect the keyboard - it add a barrier from liquid get into my laptop in case of accidental spill , and keep dust and lint from get in between the key . it feel good with its nice rubbery grip , but it do take a little bit of get use to . con : it do not fit perfectly snug so there be a few area on the edge that slightly buckle . the rubbery feel take get use to so at first you typing will slow down because it feel like each key be stick -lrb- even though it be not -rrb- . you can not tell if the cap lock be turn on because it cover the little light . overall I recommend this skin and I actually end up buy another one for my daughter too . +900 Keyboard POS 5 excellent product . the skin be barely noticeable and protect my computer from dust and dirt . I also use a skin on my desk top keyboard . I would purchase this again . +894 Keyboard POS 5 this item be bring for my son , he love it . it work very well . the price be a steal compare to the price at local store in my area for double the amount ... +587 Keyboard POS 5 I be loving this great little keyboard and mouse . personally , I feel it be the perfect balance of portability , functionality , and value . I have my Logitech keyboard and mouse set up and operational within 2 minute . I do enjoy more ergonomically friendly -lrb- curved -rrb- keyboard , but this keyboard feel very comfortable never-the-less . highly recommend !! +346 Keyboard POS 5 this be one awesome keyboard . nice and compact . it would fit into most computer bag . the key respond well and be very smooth . the keyboard itself be solidly build . I be very pleased and consider the purchase of another just to have in case they stop make they , which would be a shame . +205 Keyboard POS 4 this be a full size key board which can be fold accordian style to a size just a little bigger then the Palm unit itself . it have a simple design , click onto the port on the bottom of the unit . it run on the power of the unit , I havent really study this or use it enough to say if this create a huge drain on the unit itself . if you think that Graffiti be too slow then this be the product for you . +400 Keyboard NEG 1 I buy three of these keyboard , silent , pro , and mac version . first impression `` unbelievably good '' . unfortunately last about two month which be about the same time the keyboard start show its `` build quality '' . squeaky key and letter fading away . I could not believe such a expensive keyboard have these problem . I have 5-6 year old keyboard I buy for ~ $ 30 , do not have these kind of problem . das-keyboard customer service : one word `` great '' . unfortunately they can only do so much within the warranty period . if you exceed 30 day , you be stick with it . they offer to replace the key even the keyboard itself if need . however this be a temporary fix . you be go to end up with the same problem since the build quality be the same for all keyboard . +684 Keyboard POS 4 this be by far one of the coolest look keyboard around . it be incredibly thin , make of a sleek glossy black plastic and brush aluminum -lrb- which as someone else mention can get cold -rrb- . the keyboard have a solid , well construct feel and the keystroke be outstanding . I personally love my ThinkPad keyboard and this keyboard remind I of exactly that . the keystroke be precise but not as far -lrb- deep -rrb- as with a standard keyboard . the keyboard do have some drawback . first , I really wish there be a contextual menu key . that really bother I , because I constantly need to use the mouse instead . on the left side of the keyboard there be five button , `` sleep '' , `` zoom in '' , `` zoom out '' , `` default zoom -lrb- back to 100 % -rrb- '' , and a arrow button , which be strange as it be a left click arrow . I do not really use it and do not know why it be there . you can not change these key . the right side have a media key , which can be limitedly customize -lrb- i.e. only select media software -rrb- , a bar to adjust volume , a mute button , and a circular touch disk , and leave and right mouse button . the volume strip work fine , and I do wish that the touch disk be a bit bigger . I do like the fact that it be a disc , because you can scroll like a ipod by move you finger around the disc . it could be a bit better as far as sensitivity be concern . you can customize some of the f key , the other feature light up when you push the `` fn '' key which be located where you would expect a contextual menu key . I do not use these key all that much . cool that you can recharge it in the include stand . you do need a area of free desk space to `` show off '' you keyboard in the charger though . you can not have anything around it because the keyboard go all the way to the bottom of the charger when it be in its base -lrb- so that the keyboard be almost touch the desk -rrb- . battery life be really good . overall I would recommend this keyboard . +606 Keyboard POS 5 great buy . small and rechargable , single charge last I 3 day and countimg with moderate use . and i think it be pretty nifty for it to have a lazer pointer , i must have miss that in te description . all in all great product , even usimg it now . +819 Keyboard POS 4 this keyboard be pretty nice . have illumination feature and volume control on the top . however after a couple week the spacebar start squeak when press on the right side . the volume control do not work well and I can not tell if the volume be go up or down unless I check on the desktop . overall its a nice board and it would be nice if the button on the side be programmable but it seem set for web navigation on the left side and pc feature on the right . +999 Keyboard NEU 3 I find it awkward to use . I guess it would be useful to some people . it work . +665 Keyboard POS 5 a excellent buy ! I have try these curvy keyboard before , but this be the first one I be able to start use right away without hit all the wrong key . it just fit so much better - and the raise front with the wrist rest be fantastic . I be skeptical about pay $ 50 for a keyboard , but it be worth it . +759 Keyboard NEG 1 first one go bad -lrb- space bar stop work -rrb- about 2 week after I receive it . get a replacement . not even a year later and now 4 key have stop work . toss it in the garbage yesterday . very poor . +967 Keyboard POS 5 this be the greatest keyboard ever . glow in the dark key would make it even better +801 Keyboard POS 4 overall , this item be well worth the money . I would like it if it have more clip on the top of the screen but overall it be secure and fit well . look just like the picture . +582 Keyboard NEU 3 I love everything about this keyboard except for one problem when i be typing , at anormal speed , it type a million of eaaaaach letter , like this , i do not od that with the a be in each , the keyboard do . its really annoying , especially when it also go for the backspace . mean that if I be at the end of `` each '' and want to fix those a 's i would press backspace and my enitre sentence would be delete . besides that its great its also constantly behind , by like a full second +224 Keyboard NEU 3 the skin fall into place and stay in place very nicely but it defeat the purpose of the backlit keyboard . in my opinion they could have make the entire skin clear as the letter would show through the skin with minimal distortion and maintain the benefit of the backlit keyboard . it also cover up the one led on the cap lock key from be visible which be a bummer because I often hit that inadvertently . nonetheless it do the job of preserve the key from get worn look and keep dust and debris away from the crevice gap in the keyboard . the silicone also give a little more grip for you finger which take a little get use to at first but then you soon may like it . this one be a bargain for the price as many other be 5-10 time the price . +53 Keyboard POS 4 recently my wife want to go cordless on she desktop . I pass on my Logitech MX3200 keyboard and mx600 mouse combo , I have use this combo for a few year and be quite happy with it . so far the new mk700-m705 combo have be great . mk700 keyboard be quieter than my previous mx3200 and I like the look and touch of the key . I be a 2 finger peck typer so anything a real typist would find useful I can not comment on . there be a few feature on the mx3200 that the mk700 lack but for my use it be very adequate . the quick scrool feature on the m705 mouse I find very nice and overall I like the mouse also . the one point of the m705 mouse that I find lack be that the side forward and back button be not stick out as far as I would like and I have to search a little to find they where the same button on the mx600 be easier to locate . overall I be happy with the combo . also the looooong rate battery life be a plus if it prove to be true . +568 Keyboard POS 5 to all of you who have complain that the `` key be off '' or the `` color be off '' or whatever -- false . this cover be AWESOME . this be my third silicone keyboard cover -lrb- the first time I be use this actual product though -rrb- and I can tell you for sure this one have be the BEST . I get orange . it be mad cute and I love it . but more than anything , this be 1 -rrb- the most durable silicone cover I have ever have ; 2 -rrb- the best fit -- silicone cover , I have find , generally run a bit loose , and this fit perfectly which make use it so much more comfortable ; and 3 -rrb- be not hurt my key -lrb- in the past I have have problem with the material leave some gross residue on my key , like a oily liquid , and I just check and this one leave my key perfectly dry and clean , look like brand new -rrb- . it be easy on the finger and soft . and it be thick enough that it be not go to rip like my last 2 do , but not too thick that it be impossible to type with . and it stay clean and the color do not wear out , which also happen with all my other cover . basically for everything that matter when you be only pay around 1 $ for a product , this be the best I have ever have . it be design for Macbook pro , not Airbook , so obviously you key be not go to match because you have a different computer and different keyboard -lrb- but the keyboard size be the same so it will still work -rrb- . I do not use the backlight on my keyboard -lrb- I find it a waste of battery\/energy -rrb- but I know that none of the cover I have ever have have ever have letter that line up exactly with the keyboard . there be MUCH worse problem that you can have than a color that be off or `` letter that do not match '' or whatever you be all complain about -lrb- like my residue issue or the cover scratch the monitor screen , which I have read about in other review for other product -rrb- . if you want a absolutely perfect product , go pay $ 10 at the apple store . this be truly a incredible cover and I be probably go to buy a few more in different color just for fun or in case this one wear out . you do not find good silicone cover like this often . +96 Keyboard NEG 1 Whenever I call for support , I get someone within 2 minute . they speak English and they be helpful . . Problem be , I be call just about everytime I want to watch tv or Netflix . I be not a techie so I need instruction on rebooting , switch cable , etc. . yes , they have I switch the cable -lrb- same cable , different in\/out position -rrb- on a fairly regular basis . can never plan to watch Netflix for sure . if customer service be close -lrb- like tonight -rrb- and I turn on the tv and it be flakey , well , read a book until they be answer the phone again . will be take a hammer to it before long ! great concept , just a lousy product . +749 Keyboard POS 5 this keyboard be simply amazing . key be soft , touchpad be really functional , it be very easy to install and it be a beautiful piece of a home theater . support from Logitech be also awesome . I have problem with the keyboard in Brazil and the support work really great . +691 Keyboard POS 5 this keyboard be just as advertise . Works perfect after install and be just as good as OEM keyboard , I can not tell any difference . Keystroke feel be even perfect . fast shipping ! +245 Keyboard POS 5 I take I a while decide for the right keyboard , I be think on get saitek but for a little more money you can get this tk Esports , the actual keyboard be great , nice finish , lot of feature , the fan be just to light cool you hand , since you will barely notice it think . red key and red backlight be just beautiful . +189 Keyboard POS 5 I have have this product now for a month , I use it daily , and despite issue with repeat key that I have read in the review , it almost never happen to I . the first thing I do when I receive it be test it out , start typing alot of random stuff and one time I have it repeat backspace stroke over and over again , but since have not have it happen to I . occasionally I do have repeat letter , but they be easy to remove , and honestly it happen so infrequently I forget that its even bluetooth . I dont even think its a issue of the keyboard itself , probably more just a communication issue with the device , I use a HP Touchpad and most of the time , I have the keyboard sit right in front of the touchpad so that may be the reason of my extremely infrequent repeat keystroke . great device , no complaint . +619 Keyboard POS 5 buy this last week . after load the keyboard driver I be able to place my Palm t3 on the keyboard holder and begin typing . I have use other keyboard for the Palm and by the time I get the PDA dock properly ont he connector I usually forget what I be go to type ... this work exactly as design . the only knock on it that I have read be that you must turn you t3 to left handed mode if you want to type in landscape format . this be a very useful device . +714 Keyboard NEU 3 the key size be smaller compare to normal keyboard , and there be macro key on the left . so this layout make I always press the wrong key . the touch be nice and comfortable . +381 Keyboard POS 5 First and foremost , the electronic Bible come promptly at 12:30 pm est -lrb- be still daylight savings time -rrb- 09.21.2010 . the box mildly damage but the unit be in `` Class A '' condition . I do not know it be audio but I be so glad ! and the instruction ; after about fifteen minute of reading I be able to find the bible passage for next Sunday 's service in no time . thank goodness it be a qwerty keyboard . my right hand be down for the count but be a former touch typist . I be not have any problem work the button . my only complain be the ear bud . they will not stay in `` my '' ear so I be use a spare of ear bud that have soft tip . Mine you , I be talk about my ear so do not get concern . you unit be just what I need . thank you +730 Keyboard POS 4 great keyboard , only one flaw , for I , it go dim too fast . when you stop typing , it seem to go blank too soon +405 Keyboard POS 4 pro : the illumination of the key be great and the reason I purchase this keyboard . con : the key themselves be somewhat noisy and the Backspace key be very small as well as the right Shify key , do not understand why . rather annoy overall a good keyboard for the low price . would recommend +74 Keyboard POS 5 I usually only review thing if they make a huge impact on I -lrb- good or bad -rrb- . this keyboard be a truly great product . I 'll start by qualify the con which have already be point out by other : \* Slow wakeup time . if you have not use it in a little while , tap the spacebar and wait a few seconds . that be all . it be really not such a terrible thing . \* dedicate home and end key . this one I agree with , although there be way to re-map you keyboard . this keyboard have dedicate page up\/down key with home\/end as extra function . on my pc I be go to use a keyboard mapping program to reverse the key so that home\/end be the primary key and page up\/down be the function key . for this I give the keyboard 4.75 star instead of a even 5 -lrb- or would if I could -rrb- . now we 'll talk about the good thing : \* size : have the number pad separate from the keyboard be inspire . not only can you carry only one or the other if you so choose , but the unit allow you to make better use of limited space by arrange the two part of the keyboard however be most convenient for you . \* shape : I usually only use the split keyboard -lrb- ergometric -rrb- . on the other hand , there be no deny that a ergometric keyboard take up a good deal more space than a straight keyboard . this product strike the perfect balance : the design offer about 75 % of the ergonomic advantage of a split keyboard while only take up 10 % more space than it would have if this keyboard be completely straight . \* Action : this be very much like a laptop keyboard , which worry I at first . I hate laptop keyboard : I can only ever manage to type half speed on they . for some reason , though , this product give I probably the best typing experience I have ever have on any keyboard , laptop or otherwise . as I type this review , I be amaze at the speed I be achieve , especially consider the next bullet point . \* support : most review be not able to comment on this , but my keyboard arrive with a broken `` e '' key . the key will not stay on and keep pop off while I type -lrb- and yet I can still manage to keep up over 80 word per minute if I be careful -rrb- . I call Microsoft support , get a human be after hold for less than 10 minute , and be tell that a replacement be en route and that I do not have to worry about ship the old one back . needless to say I be very pleased because I love the keyboard . +328 Keyboard NEG 1 pick this up at a local store on the cheap . I read other reviewer complain about it looking\/feeling cheap . Umm ... it \* be \* cheap . all I want be a simple , usb keyboard with more action in the key than my current 10-year old keyboard . I look at the key location closely ... but not close enough . I get it all the way home and start write a letter before I realize that the bozo that design this keyboard take the `` pipe '' and `` backslash '' key -lrb- meaning '' | '' and '' \ '' -rrb- which be usually to the left of the `` right-shift '' button , and jam it between the backspace key and the + \/ = key . my question to the designer be ... why ???? you elongate the right-shift key to fill the space leave by remove the '' | '' and \ key , and you shorten the backspace key by half -lrb- put in the `` wrong '' place for touch typer -rrb- in order to jam the same '' | '' and \ key between the backspace and the + \/ = key . I love the feel and the price of the keyboard . everything else be just perfect -lrb- yeah , it be cheap construction ... but the price be cheap as well -rrb- . I do not get it . I be take this keyboard back immediately . oh , and as for those who might not care about the backspace key , if you plan on use this keyboard for gaming , then I also have to agree with the other reviewer that you will probably be better serve by one that be a bit more `` rugged '' . this keyboard will not stand up to any abuse from the look of it . the biggest problem I can cite -lrb- as other reviewer have as well -rrb- be that the cable be ridiculously thin and no doubt fragile . I doubt it be reinforce at the connector or keyboard end at all . for a cheap keyboard , it would have work well ... if the key have be in the correct location . +727 Keyboard POS 5 awesome distance ... mouse or keyboard do not lag . Works from over 30 foot away ! flawless ! look expensive , but very cheap for awesome quality that you can not find any where else ! must buy . +868 Keyboard POS 4 we purchase this for my son for he netbook , just incase he large hand could not work the smaller keyboard on he netbook . however he use it for he xbox . he be completely please with it . not sure how it would be to use daily at a pc ... but for what he use it for , it be great ! +755 Keyboard NEG 2 buy this for my MacBook -lrb- aluminum body -rrb- and realize a number of problem with this product . it be incredibly thin and flimsy . those be actually its BETTER attribute . I would not want a product for my keyboard that bulky ... but it be so thin and flimsy that it do not stay in place . rather than be just slightly larger than the actual button -lrb- so the cover stay on snugly -rrb- everything be just slightly smaller , so no matter how many way you adjust it , it will not sit properly over the key . speak of key . the key on the MacBook be design to allow heat to dissipate when you be use the computer . when this cover be on the keyboard it trap the heat in . it be a nice idea , but a lousy product . +15 Keyboard NEU 3 the keyboard function ok from a distance which be what I need , but it can be annoying sometimes . some time key be lose and you have to hit they twice , and also the keyboard have a function to go to ` sleep mode ' after not be use , and it might require several keystroke to wake it up . Annoying . all in all , I do not find a good alternative , but if there be , I would add the extra money and buy something better . +312 Keyboard NEG 1 I need a new protective case for my laptop , and this one look pretty nice . unfortunately , as soon as I take it out of the box I be underwhelm . the case feel thin and cheap , and when I put it on my laptop for a test run it fit WAY too tight and take almost break it to take it back off -lrb- which leave a small dent on the edge of my laptop -rrb- . Stick with Speck case . I sure will from now on . +761 Keyboard NEU 3 I think with the bluetooth it would be simple to connect the keyboard to the ipad -lrb- Wireless -rrb- with no problem . I can not get the two to sync and therefore , can not use the keyboard . +66 Keyboard POS 5 always a satisfaction to buy a Microsoft product . and this product be not different , exelente comfort and usual to who pass much time typing . +576 Keyboard POS 5 purchase this keyboard to replace another ergonomic keyboard that be not work . seem well make and the key action feel solid and consistent . Extra key be useful now that I have figure out what they all do . wrist pad be comfortable . Works with the match Logitech mouse on a single wireless usb port which save port . can not tell yet how durable it will be ; but it feel solid . well satisfy with this purchase . +822 Keyboard POS 5 receive on 12\/15 , the day of the first Google software update . I be very happy with this product . the setup be a very , very simple 12-step process . the revue recognize my DirecTV box , my Mitsubishi tv and even , surprisingly , my Yamaha Sound Bar , which I input as my `` AV Receiver '' . Sweet ! my main purpose for buy this be because of a certain adult cable channel that cost $ 15.99 \/ month + tax on DirecTV and only $ 7.99 \/ month for internet access to the same programming from the cable channel 's website . the DirecTV channel be in standard definition and the internet site contain hd . a win-win for I . +970 Keyboard POS 4 this keyboard be the best I have work with in a long time and its what I suggest to all my family and client especially if they be always on the computer . its style be very good and its funtionality be great , I have be usee this keyboard for more than 6 month and even though I have put in 72 hour straite behind the system in one go it keep my hand from get tired as they usually do when do extra long time at the computer . all in all its a good product and one that should be consider seriously . +171 Keyboard NEU 3 I order my first arc keyboard after see one at best buy . I love the small keyboard with large key . also like that there be no number keypad on the side of the keyboard as I do not have a need for it . I like this keyboard so much I order a second one for the office . with regard to the design flaw , both of my keyboard go on the fritz last week -lrb- the second be order one week after the first -rrb- . I have determine that the spring on one of the battery connection be just a bit too large -lrb- true in both keyboard -rrb- . so instead of the battery staying in place thanks to the spring , it push up and out of place and lose the connection . I nearly go crazy on Friday fix the battery every time I sit down to type . we be try a home fix , if that do not work I hope Amazon will allow I to return these . +706 Keyboard NEG 1 I buy this from clearance monster use . it arrive with a note inside state there be no battery and no manual but it do not illuminate so I be highly disappoint ; ok I understand it be use but the paper work inside never say anything about it not work and I feel you folk rip I off besides the fact that when it arrive the inside of the box and some of the contents look like it be throw around and not properly pack NOT HAPPY that I still need to turn on a light at night and be the sole purpose of buying . +374 Keyboard POS 4 Ho can you lose here ? it add a bit of clunk to typing and if you type for a living at 90 word a minute . . well save you $ 2.78 . . if , like I , you sneeze , and accidently spill thing once in a while . . its great insurance . try it . . -lrb- Update -rrb- a few time I have look down at my keyboard cover and find `` dry foreign stain material '' . thank goodness I have the cover ! clean up with dish soap . it do kill the back-lighting for the keyboard . I just pull it off when work in the dark . if you want to use it in a professional situation involve a darkened room , forget about it . well . . again we be talk $ 3 here ... +551 Keyboard POS 5 Got here quicker than the estimate time , it fit my white macbook nicely -lrb- 13 inch -rrb- , feel nice to the touch , and it prevent a bunch of crap from get inside the key . what more do you need ? +84 Keyboard POS 4 there be nothing wrong with this keyboard . the key have what I would call , a geographic , tactile shape , so it give the user more clue as to what key they be on . since I cheat in my high school typing class , it do not help I so much . it be a nice keyboard if price be you 1st priority . +871 Keyboard POS 5 I have recently begin to feel the wrath of the infamous Carpal tunnel syndrome -lrb- kind of know it be come ... be just a matter of time -rrb- from extensive code and overall computer usage . thanks to CTS , I be not able to use conventional keyboard . as a result , I decide to purchase this keyboard . when I be at staple , I like the schematic and the way it feel to my hand . nevertheless , I be a bit skeptical ... after all , it be design and manufacture by Microsoft and I be not a Microsoft fan . since I buy it this evening , I have already use it for about four hour and I must say that I love this product ! I never feel this comfortable and free of pain . the cramp and strain I would occasionally experience while typing be no longer there ! this be probably the best product Microsoft have come up with after Windows NT ! if you be a computer science\/systems\/networking student or even a professional programmer\/systems and or network administrator , do not make the same mistake I do . get this keyboard before it be too late . it 'll pay off in the longer run . but if you end up like I , you will end up have to pay in many different way ... not just financially . +600 Keyboard POS 4 although you should be able to use this keyboard with any computer , it be ideal for use with Thinkpad laptop . I have a Thinkpad x series . I spend almost half my time at location where I be directly work on the laptop 's keyboard . but other time , at home and at the office , I have a docking station and a external monitor . with that setup I use this keyboard . since the key placement be almost the same , it be very easy to switch between the laptop and the external keyboard ! however , one thing that I do not like be that although the key be shallow like laptop key , they do not feel the same . they be softer . +764 Keyboard POS 5 I be a bit leery buying this keyboard because I be not sure how often I would have to charge it . I figure if I be plug the thing in for a full day to charge every 5 day , it would defeat the purpose of have a wireless device . much to my delight , I have own the keyboard for three month , use it 5 day a week for work , and I have charge it only once -lrb- and even then I suspect it be because the device do not have a full charge out of the box -rrb- . grant I usually turn the illumination off because I simply do not need it , but there have be several occasion where I have forget to switch the keyboard off at night and the battery meter remain full . I would strongly recommend this product to anyone look for a wireless keyboard . the illumination be a bonus for I , but if you need that it too work great . I be a huge fan of Logitech and they unifying platform . I use this keyboard in conjunction with a m510 mouse on the same receiver dongle and have have no problem . +803 Keyboard NEG 1 the keyboard be too small and difficult to navigate . it be very difficult to see the light key because they be dim . I do not think that anyone will be please with this item . +844 Keyboard POS 5 I need to get the mess of cord under control . I do not do my own set up , as I be computer challenge . my son usually do this for I , all I have to do be watch . in less than three minute he have no problem with it . it set it self up , and work fantastic . I have no issue with it get pick up for signal . I have to say I have buy another of these keyboard and mouse set from this company , no complaint , no problem . I have one keyboard set on the Hewlett Packard and one on the Dell . I recommend this to anyone . +282 Keyboard POS 5 slick , thin , easy typing , wireless , and illuminate ; what more can you ask from a keyboard !!! ohh , you be ask for more ? ok ... no battery - it recharch itself through usb . case close +991 Keyboard NEU 3 I buy this as a replacement for I Dell keyboard . it look good and really be the same design as the Dell , however its not comfortable for my hand at all . not really sure what the issue be . I do know that its too low to the table even with the little flip thing up , and my finger seem to be reach differently . I have arthritis in both hand and by the time I end my work day , my hand be very tired . this do not happen with the Dell keyboard . I imagine it would be fine for people without hand problem . +348 Keyboard POS 5 pro : ~ $ 65 , high quality , come with Duracell , not crap battery , play well with rechargable 1.2 v 2000ma duracell , more mouse button than my gamer self could ever need , roller be frikkin sweet , mouse be super-ergonomic , fit well in hand , keyboard lead , keyboard feel nice under hand , palm rest be not crap gel but some sort of vinyl , low profile key keep finger from get stick on side , 2.4 ghz , come with usb extender for better reception\/longer battery life -lrb- my Antec 1200 be several foot away and could cause reception issue without the usb extender -rrb- , software work quite well . get use to not have mouse acceleration never could be easier -lrb- smooth and accurate as heck ; get use to it after a few day of use -rrb- , supposedly 3 year life time on both mouse and keyboard -lrb- something around 1.2 year with rechargable , accord to Setpoint -rrb- . con : Palm rest do not play too well with my wrist cushion and do not detach , keyboard lead be a bit hard to see , keyboard be not ergonomically shape . +653 Keyboard POS 5 if you be in need of a serviceable replacement for you Mac keyboard , at a fraction of the price of a Mac brand keyboard , this be the keyboard you want . it be a little noisier than the Mac keyboard , but in term of user-friendliness and styling you will not do better in term of function or price . the media key at the top of the keyboard be handy too . the only superfluous key seem to be the power on key at the top right , which will not actually power on my iMac . I still have to hit the power on button on the back of the iMac unit itself . other than that , I find this keyboard a great , neatly-priced replacement for my old Mac keyboard , which start to lose key function , key by key . +897 Keyboard POS 5 I purchase this extremely low price keyboard for use with my PS3 system . it work great and for the price ... you can not go wrong . take the money you save from NOT buy a `` ridiculously '' price keyboard and treat yourself to a new blu-ray or game . -lrb- edit -rrb- I do forget to mention : the cord on the keyboard be maybe 3ft so you might want to purchase a usb extension cable amazonbasic usb 2.0 a-male to A-Female Extension Cable -lrb- 9.8 feet\/3 .0 meter -rrb- that way if you be use it for a gaming system you wont go blind from sit to close to you `` big screen '' update -lrb- 6-20-12 -rrb- the keyboard be now in-op , so I guess you get approx 9mo of use out of this keyboard . think I 'll spend a few extra dollar and get at least a `` full year '' keyboard this time lol . +855 Keyboard POS 5 keyboard be a funny thing . you pretty much get use to what you have , and change be difficult . my current keyboard have key hat be stick and not work , so I need a new one . I love the idea of a backlit keyboard , as I work a lot of night and my desk be in a dark corner . I order this keyboard and have to say that I love it . it be very comfortable to use . the key be very quiet and easy to type with . I love the backlit keyboard . overall I be very impressed with this item and would definitely recommend it . +268 Keyboard NEU 3 I read comment and review before I purchase this item think it would be a perfect fit for my macpro 13 ' . unfortunately when I lay it on my keyboard it be stretch out and a bit bit . every time I would type . . I have to re-adjust the silicon cover . although the delivery be on time and really well do . +518 Keyboard POS 4 I really like my keyboard protector that I order . the color be amazing and it feel cool to type on . also , if you be prone to spilling crumb near you computer or anything that could be potentially harmful to you keyboard , I would highly recommend get a keyboard cover . it keep you keyboard protect and you keyboard do not get all dusty . it be very easy to put on and take off . the color of my keyboard protector match my case\/shell . love it !! +989 Keyboard POS 4 my old 4000 give out when it take a caffeine swim in 8 oz of Diet Dr. Pepper . even after it dry out , weird key combination be trigger by single keystroke . I know it be time to retire the now-ruined user input device when I be compose a email to a customer , and end with -rrb- -lrb- -lrb- -rrb- -rrb- 0 ; ok -lrb- then the hot key combination for `` send '' be trigger . -rrb- I rather like the 4000 , but when I go to purchase another , I be worry about some of the review it be be get -lrb- especially regard the loud key and horrendous space bar -rrb- . I be think `` the space bar be now LOUDER ?? '' because I do not think it be possible to have a Space Bar that can be louder than the one on my recently-soaked 4000 . I be consider purchase ear plug with my new 4000 . fear not , potential consumer ! I receive my brand new 4000 today and it be so much better . I think the one I have before be actually from the run about which people be complain ! the space bar on this new one be so much quieter . it be still a bit louder than the rest of the key , but nothing that be go to bother anyone in the office next to yours -lrb- or down the hall , like my busted 4000 -rrb- . I do not know if they have fix the issue with the key label rub off because I be a touch typist so get this keyboard . Long may it live -lrb- as long as the Diet dp stay far away -rrb- . +517 Keyboard POS 5 as a freelance copywriter I use to do 100 % of my write in my desktop . I use my Palm Tungsten E basically for reading and calendar . but now thing have change , with the think outside wireless keyboard , I be do half of my work in my Palm . it be light and easy to use . it took abou 40 minute of practice to get use to the keyboard , after that it be downhill all the time . a few day ago I took it to the doctor 's office and while wait I write a lot . since it be not design to rest on you lap , I take a hard cover book and rest the keyboard on it : Voila , that do the trick . what can I say ? I be in love with my Palm-Stoway combo ... best buy I have do in this year . the only thing miss : while rest on the keyboard base , you Palm can not be connect , neither to the charger not to the hotsync cable . +300 Keyboard POS 5 amazing keystroke ... super solid high quality aluminium construction . I buy two of these . best keyboard I have ever have . well worth the money ! +747 Keyboard NEG 2 I have lose the cord that connect the Kindle to the charge source and need a replacement cord . it seem to I that this ` usb car charger ' , usb Wall\/Travel charger ' be just what I need . admittedly I be not careful to read what be include in this package when I place my order . when I receive the shipment today -lrb- outstanding service as always -rrb- each of the describe item be include in the package , HOWEVER , they be pretty much useless without the connect cord . the cost for the delivery charge equal the item charge , so return the order be not practical . yes , I will be more careful next time , but I do think the description should have indicate that no cable be include in this so-called ` kindle charge ' package . kmf +476 Keyboard POS 5 I own five of these - do that say enough ? First of all I be go to come right out and say that I completely do not understand the number of 1 and 2 star review . I hate to refer to someone as a moron base on they review of a keyboard , but in this case , it be entirely difficult not to . I find myself ask `` what be wrong with these people ? '' a lot while read the negative review . that say , I notice that a lot of the negative review be write by programmer , and perhaps they need be different than mine . I have spend the better part of the last 15 year of my life in front of a computer . I find that entirely depress for the most part , but it be true . for many year I be a enthusiast , and then I spend 5 year as a computer repair guy in a local computer shop , after which I move onto a job in the web host industry and spend 5 year mixed between tech support and management . I start use this keyboard during the management phase of my time at the web host company , and ... wow . it really make a huge difference in my comfort level sit at the desk . I have begin to develop a bit of carpel tunnel , tingle in my wrist and finger , etc ; after buy this keyboard , it all go away . I be not suggest that will be everyone 's experience , just that it be my own . I have own a whole lot of keyboard , and this be easily the best that I have ever use . it be rock solid , have perfectly size key and a nice , soft wrist rest built-in . a lot of these programmer type in the negative review have complain about the space bar be hard to strike , but that be not my experience ; in my time with this keyboard , it be be a breeze . I almost never use the short-cut key at the top ; just never get in the habit . they work , though , for the record . at the beginning of this review I state that I own 5 of these keyboard . I should add that I have also buy these for many people that I know , and they have all adjust to it quite well and love it . no one I know first-hand have ever have any issue with it . +288 Keyboard POS 4 I get this rf to usb keyboard in the hope that it would eliminate some of the cord tangle at the operating bench in my ham shack . it work just great . I wish the receiver end that stick in the usb port be a little bigger tho . I have little doubt that I will eventually lose it in the chaos on my desk . the keyboard work the first time I try it . there be no direction with the unit I receive , but it be not rocket science to get it up and run . test it on computer with xp pro , Vista and Windows 7 o\/ss and in a high rf environment . no problem note . definitely a good thing for ham or other folk who work at they com ; puter station . +781 Keyboard POS 4 this keyboard work well at chairside in my orthodontic practice . it be compact and the trackball be convienient -lrb- no mouse -rrb- . I have 18 of they . some be 2 year old ; of they , about 4 have die . for they convienience and at the price , I consider they disposable . I keep some on hand should one go down . battery life be ok , not great . +197 Keyboard POS 4 Terrific keyboard for many app . Compact and reasonably light . cleverly design w\/left click on both the left and right side of this keyboard . Scroll and trackball be real winner in this design too . this be my second one and I have get really good at gaming with it . but do not expect to do the same until you have it a while . the usb receiver limit you range if you have obstruction . with it in the back of you computer it may skip now and then and in the front it be susceptible to be bump -lrb- nearly 3 '' out from computer -rrb- . put in a well place usb hub though and it might still work from the McDonald 's drive-thru ... I often use it across a large open room with no problem . very handy and as the price drop even better for you . +731 Keyboard NEG 2 I think keyboard come in standard size key ! I can type 85 word a minute on any other keyboard but , not this one . the shift key , one of the most important , have shrink along with my typing speed because of this . the only thing good about this keyboard be the pretty little light . +955 Keyboard POS 5 a great product and it fit great but it be kinda hard to type with it on . I find it hard to push down the button so it be hard to write a paper with this on . but it look so good ! +367 Keyboard NEU 3 it seem to function find but if you pick it up by the wrist rest attachment it be likely to fall apart and possibly crash to the ground . this be particularly upset since it be wireless which enable you the option of move the keyboard out of the way . +259 Keyboard POS 5 this be by far the best keyboard that I have ! the battery life be great , give it have a backlight , and it come with a micro-usb charger , allow you to charge it overnight , or while you be use it . I would say you have to charge it about every week or so , and fully charge it when you first get it . the back light have 4 level of brightness and be useful for typing in the dark . the logitech k800 be a big step up from my old , simple , wire Logitech Keyboard k120 I use it with my custom build Windows 7 64 bit desktop pc and it work fine -lrb- I be typing this review with it ! -rrb- . you do not need any driver , but I recommend that you download the free software from the Logitech website . the software allow you to customize the function button , what activate the back light and how long it stay on when you be not typing . also , it do not seem to miss any type letter so , overall , the Logitech K800 Wireless keyboard be great . if you want a wireless keyboard with a back light , this be for you . ------------------- edit 4\/28\/2012 -------------------- the keyboard have hold up pretty good , but the key be start to squeek . I be suprised how fast they start squeek , but overall it seem to be ok . I do not use the backlight much , and only have to charge it every 1-2 week . +355 Keyboard NEG 1 `` Works with you exist hdtv and cable or satellite system to provide seamless access to the web , you tv , compatible dvr , and Android app ... '' no , it do not . the revue do not give you `` seamless access to the web . '' and it do not allow you to download and run android app . I buy a revue when it be first release . since then software `` update '' have make it actually do less than when I first get it . when it first arrive I could use it to browse and play video from my media server . now , it display `` Network Error '' as I try to browse folder on the server and , if I be lucky enough to be able to list the video in a folder , it display `` Video Error '' for about half the video I try to play . the hardware be great . the software be not . we have be promise update to the software for month and all we get be `` security update '' that break existing functionality . until the software be fix , statement like `` Works with you exist hdtv and cable or satellite system to provide seamless access to the web , you tv , compatible dvr , and Android app ... '' be out-right lie and false advertising . +55 Keyboard POS 4 Compact and functional . small be what I be look for and the multimedia key at the top be perfect for the MAME machine\/digital jukebox I will be run it on . have dedicated Ctrl\/Alt\/Del key and Windows key . a little awkward because of small size , but all-in-all I like it . Micro usb dongle be located in a storage compartment between the battery slot . have to check the manual to see where it be store as it be so small it do not stand out when I install the battery . driver be automatically install by Windows xp . no issue so far . +772 Keyboard POS 5 this be a great companion for my Media Center PC . I keep it next to my tv remote and use it when interact with my pc from across the room . Works great and be nice and compact . I have also use with xbox keyboard . +744 Keyboard NEG 1 take a gamble on this and lose ... shift key and space bar do not work out of the box so I be return . save yourself the headache and spring for a better keyboard . +70 Keyboard NEG 1 key start fail after about 2 month , and some of the key marking rub off too . not recommend . +203 Keyboard POS 5 this be a great little keyboard . I do not buy this one but I have one just like it and I like it very much . you will not go wrong if you purchase one . I do recomend it . +666 Keyboard NEG 2 the hardware provide by the revue be actually pretty good . unfortunately it have to run GoogleTV . I love google , I love the idea , but it can not be customize and there be very little customization you can do for you user experience . I keep look online and try to find way to make it more user friendly , but it be just not there . overall though , the hardware be pretty good and if they ever do upgrade the software , this could be a excellent deal at only $ 99 . since the much promise upgrade have not come yet , I would be very cautious about purchase this product until then -lrb- in case it be not able to be update to this platform -rrb- . biggest downside : Netflix have bug and be know to only work about half the time . I have experience this and it be incredibly frustrating since about every other recent less smart platform can do this with good user experience . a Netflix box be the whole reason I buy this as a bridge to help Google figure out how to really do GoogleTV which have not happen yet . biggest upside : I like the keyboard remote , it be easy to configure and be nice to control multiple appliance . it do have a full keyboard though that be probably not for everyone . however , if you be not oppose to it , then it work very well and I love have a nice sleek and very functional keyboard ! Bottom Line : this be a good interface and a lot of potential . however , until they figure out more app then this really be a slow web browser on a tv . +390 Keyboard POS 5 this keyboard take a short time to get use to with the change angle , but very quickly become second nature ! work as a medical transcriptionist I type a lot and this have help out dramatically with wrist discomfort : -rrb- +417 Keyboard POS 4 I be use a wireless keyboard and mouse to control my pc that be connect to my tv ; this work but it be very clumsy have the keyboard on my lap and use my leg as a mouse pad do not work very well . I also have problem with the keyboard not work from about 8-10 foot away . so I buy this unit and it work great . all the keyboard function and mouse work correctly from 15 foot away and now I do not have a full size keyboard sit on my end table . it do take a few minute to get use to the mouse pad and it be more like a texting than typing on a keyboard . the battery charge from the pc usb port and it have a laser pointer and a backlight for use in a dark room . pro : work great ; look cool ; have all the function of a keyboard and mouse ; long range ; easy hook-up . con : documentation be bad . +623 Keyboard POS 4 I be connect the revue through a hddvr to my hdtv , and control everything with the include keyboard . I also have the Logitech HC web Cam connect , which be nice for family video call . separately , I have a Blueray player drive my surround sound , and connect into a separate hdmus input source on the tv . the revue be connect via WIFI into my home network and the internet . the out of box experience be good , the setup be straightforward . during the setup , I do have configuration question , and the Logitech Technical support -lrb- base in Toronto -rrb- be knowleable and efficient -lrb- and quick to answer , even Sunday afternoon -rrb- . the keyboard be a great controller for both the tv , the DVR , and the revue , although the fit and finish of the keyboard could be a slightly improve . it work great , but I be not a fan of white-bottomed keyboard on my living room table . my only issue with the functionality of this living room keyboard be that it be not configure to support my additional device , specifically my blue ray player 's function , so I be still use a 2nd remote for my movie . this be a step backward from my harmony 890 , but there be no way the harmony 890 would suffice to drive the Revue\/Google tv function without a keyboard in parallel ... the keyboard be a must have input device for control the google tv . all function work great , and surprisingly quick for a WIFI connection . this be a great gift for the grandparent ... they can have video call with the grandkid , shop on line , watch tv , download movie from multiple source , and listen to internet radio through they living room tv ... +433 Keyboard POS 5 this keyboard be inexpensive and very pleasant to use . I plug it into my macbook to enhance comfort while typing . highly recommend ! +213 Keyboard NEU 3 I like this product just fine - with 3 major draw back ! no hulu and no Blockbuster and no Glenn Beck ! if those be not important to you then you 'll enjoy it . +6 Keyboard NEG 1 I do not speak Englishman like that that they forgive the mistake . this product do not work since the connection for the keyboard this one located exactly below of the tablet what it make impossible to place the adapter and to connect the keyboard ... not if I make myself explain but the conclusion be that if you buy it you will lose you money . +735 Keyboard POS 5 my brother tell I about the Logitech Wireless Combo mk550 and I order one and I be glad I do , it be truly the best keyboard and mouse I have ever use . it be comfortable , have a great feel and touch , be quite , and the programmable key be a add plus . my 10 year old grandson even comment on how much he like it . thanks Logitech for a great product and I highly recommend this item to anyone . +641 Keyboard POS 5 this product really do not leave anything else to be desire . it fit the keyboard on my 2010 MacBook pro perfectly and look great to boot . it sit flush to the key and play between key non-existant . this cover also give the key more of a texturized feel , which be a good change from the glossy stock key . +117 Keyboard NEG 1 when it work as advertise , the keyboard be great , touchpad and keyboard make web surfing from the couch enjoyable . con : ----- 1 -rrb- short range , also report by other here . my couch to my htpc be about 8 ft. . at that range , the touchpad become arkward to operate . I try move the receiver to my htpc 's front usb port . do not help . 2 -rrb- I read about this from a negative review before I buy it but think maybe that customer be just unlucky . well , turn out I be unlucky too . it work for about 2 week of occasional use then it stop work . nothing i try work . try recharge battery to full . try cycling keyboard power . try cycling pc power . try change usb port . it just would not sync up . get it return . thank goodness for Amazon 's top notch return service . +372 Keyboard POS 5 I love the range of this unit . the keyboard contour with you hand . the mouse feel like it be form from my hand too . the shortcut function area great time saver . volume up and down be so easy to use now . it beat have to click around and find the volume setting . +770 Keyboard POS 4 have the infrare version as well this by far be the best ir need to be point to the computer and you need to constantly check the screen if you mistype anything its not the case with this BT device love the size love the mousepad work great def reco +271 Keyboard NEG 2 I feel by now Google would have a lot more content . it do not offer as much content as my new smart tv . +212 Keyboard POS 4 for under 20 buck , this keyboard be a very nice upgrade to the heavily value-engineered keyboard that come with most computer . -lrb- in my case a Dell quiet-key . it be actually a bit better than most stock keyboard , but still have shortcoming which I will not get into since this be a review of the Microsoft product -rrb- . pro : o key have a nice `` feel '' . light touch , low travel , quiet . o although this be a ergonomic keyboard , the difference in layout and spacing be minor and easy to adjust to , yet they still offer a improvement in typing comfort . o nice spacebar , slightly deeper than standard keyboard , be easy to reach . o reasonable price for a this quality of keyboard . con : o size : the width be identical to my Dell Quietkey , depth be about 1 inch greater , to accomodate the extra browser-specific button which I do not use . if the extra button be generic and user programmable this item would be in the pro category . disclaimer - taste in input device be highly subjective . what work wonderfully for one person can be a nightmare for another . I like this keyboard and find it more comfortable to use than a standard layout . you mileage may vary . +567 Keyboard POS 4 if you spend a lot of time in front of a computer , you should invest the money to get the right keyboard for you usage . Lenovo 's UltraNav keyboard rate somewhere between three-and-a-half star and four star for those who risk carpel tunnel syndrome from overuse of computer mouse , e.g. , in corporate financial analyst circle . the UltraNav keyboard mitigate problem cause from overuse of computer mouse by incorporate TrackPoint and touchpad point device on the keyboard itself . compare to the grip that be require to actively control a mouse , the TrackPoint require pressure from only one finger ; while the touchpad can be control by a light touch . as other reviewer indicate , Lenovo 's UltraNav keyboard be lightweight , and of a solid build quality . I find the UltraNav 's trackpoint to be perfectly configure out-of-box . other trackpoint device -lrb- I have use Dell and HP Compaq corporate laptop -rrb- feel `` loose '' by comparison . the UltraNav 's touchpad support virtual click -- which simulate mouse click by quickly tap on the touchpad ; and virtual scrolling -- which enable quick scroll down or across a window by slide one 's finger down the right side of the touchpad , or across the bottom of the touchpad , respectively . the touchpad 's driver software enable both feature to be tailor to preference , and come with a practice `` game '' to help ensure that one 's preference be just right . the UltraNav TrackPoint come with a third button -lrb- in addition to the standard left - and right-click button -rrb- that can act either as a scroll lock or a magnifying glass . both the touchpad and TrackPoint may be adjust for left-handed use . both be also simultaneously active , but one or both may be deactivate or set to use a subset of they feature . I keep both enable ; I use the touchpad to move around broadly , and the trackpoint to move around and select item more precisely . with Lenovo 's UltraNav keyboard , a mouse be no longer need . the downside to the UltraNav keyboard generally revolve around its lineage as a ThinkPad laptop keyboard . like most other laptop keyboard , the UltraNav keyboard have tiny function key , and tiny Insert , Delete , Home , End , pageup and pagedown key . several keyboard function -- include the three volume button , the Fn key , and the blue mechanic -lrb- thinkvantage -rrb- key -- may be render useless for those who do not pair they UltraNav keyboard with a Lenovo computer . Lenovo should have be smart enough to include software to help such user remap all of those non-functional key to do something more useful . this keyboard also lack Windows key -lrb- the Windows key and right-click key -rrb- , and instead have -lrb- previous Page -rrb- and -lrb- next Page -rrb- key . I be not convince of the utility of the latter , because it be just as easy to press and to move backwards and forwards in a web browser . the UltraNav keyboard also include two usb 1.1 port ; which be less useful today than when this product be introduce , since many usb device these day can take advantage of higher usb 2 speed . remember to install the UltraNav driver - before - plug in the keyboard into you computer for the first time . Windows Vista 64-bit user should consider use the latest generic driver from synaptic because Lenovo 's Vista 64-bit driver do not support virtual scroll for the touchpad . both the Synaptics and Lenovo driver however , do not support the magnifying glass action for the Trackpoint 's third-button . Lenovo 's UltraNav keyboard merit serious consideration from those seek a solid alternative to computer mouse , and can sacrifice a bit of keyboard functionality . hopefully the next version of this keyboard will incorporate with Windows key -lrb- since they be make available in the ThinkPad 60 series keyboard -rrb- , usb2 port , and maybe multi-touch support for the touchpad . +679 Keyboard POS 4 the product be as advertise . I be very happy with it and it completely fit and protect my Macbook pro keypad . +856 Keyboard NEG 2 some the key be in wierd place and backspace button be small rather than rectangle a little hard to get use to +797 Keyboard POS 4 I pick up two of these cover . they fit my macbook air and pro fairly well . they be not perfect , but they do the job . I do like how the cover do not budge once you put they on . they do not slip and slide at all . +738 Keyboard POS 4 I buy this keyboard for use with a new raspberry pi . unfortunately , it cause problem with the r-pi and force you to unplug the keyboard and plug it back in again after about 50 keystroke . otherwise , its a nice keyboard for the price . Works fine on my Mac . some of the key be a bit small and it will take some get use to . +884 Keyboard POS 4 I purchase this cd printer three year ago and use it with battery until this year . it work okay with battery but I find the printing be not smooth or consistant . this year I purchase the electrical cord and find that it give the printer more `` gas '' and the printing be great ! I also hook it up to my computer which make it easier to use and give I more font . I give it a four star rating because the ink cassette waste a lot of ink and be costly . but all in all , this be a good product . by the way , I use TDK printable CD 's from COSTCO and they print nicely -lrb- 100@$22.99 -rrb- . however , this printer have do a good job printing on most disc I have try . +710 Keyboard POS 5 I have just receive the zaggmate and as soon I synce it with the iPad it just start work perfectly , I can not explain how efficient the zaggmate be but I can say despite the high price but it worth every dollar pay for it , it be a must have item if you be a ipad addict , it just turn everything easier and almost make you ipad turn into a laptop . thank you zaggmate , Mohamed . +473 Keyboard POS 5 I need these PS\/2 gender change adapter real quick to get my keyboard and mouse to work between two system . my order result in a quick delivery as need with the right item . I would order from this vendor again . +314 Keyboard POS 5 im very happy with this keyboard the size , the design the compatibility be great . I buy one and i like other one for my girlfriend +699 Keyboard NEU 3 a great keyboard remote for htpc , but the trackpad be pretty mediocre . take many , many swipe to jerkily move the cursor across the screen . great battery , and the laser pointer be great for drive the dog nut . I be contact by Anker customer service and they be quite friendly . they offer I a full refund if I send it back . when I decline they refund a small portion of my order as a apology that it have not live up to expectation . +898 Keyboard POS 4 this be very useful for when you have something long to type , and the iPad keyboard be too cumbersome to use . it take a few minute to get the hang of it , but it be actually quite clever , the way it be design to fold up . it pair easily and quickly with my ipad via Bluetooth . if I could change one thing , I would have it allow for a shield\/protector to remain on the ipad when it be place in the holder . one thing I be concerned about be that it be quite flimsy , and I feel afraid that it be go to break very easily . also , I wonder how easy it will be to replace the battery -lrb- and how long it will last -rrb- . all in all though , I would definitely recommend it . it do not add all that much weight , and it be good for travel . this will definitely come with I on my next trip , because while the iPad keyboard be fine while I be on the train , once in the comfort of my hotel room , I like have the option to type normally ... without have to lug my laptop with I . I be very happy to have it . +211 Keyboard POS 5 awesome deal ! I be a little leery about this , because of the price , -lrb- 1 cent -rrb- but I get it very promptly . and it look , feel great on my white Macbook . the font be the same , so its like it be a factory part . the only downfall , be the the black on the skin , be like a newspaper , and get on you finger , but its not that bad ... def not something to whine about ... great deal , awesome shipping and product , highly recommend ! +435 Keyboard NEG 1 the key be label for Windows only . every time the Mac reboot , I have to re-identify the keyboard because the Mac do not recognize it . in addition , like most cheapo keyboard it have no extra usb port . the key be not that annoying , but they be annoying , especially if you move from keyboard to keyboard ; this one will always be the odd one out , with it be somewhat small and slant key . all in all , you would be much better off get a generic Windows keyboard at you local big box store . again : this should not be call Mac compatible , despite what be print on the box . I be simply glad I buy it at half its suggest retail price . this be the lowest rating I have ever give a product sell by Amazon . +943 Keyboard POS 4 still love the layout of this keyboard . I can not stand typing on a standard keyboard for over a few hour , and this one seem to fit I best ergonomically . it be a little pricey for be so loud -lrb- clickity click click -rrb- , but still my favorite solution . +604 Keyboard POS 5 great replacement keyboard very easy to install after I finally find correct instruction on how to remove the old keyboard . +858 Keyboard POS 5 this keyboard look great , and I love the feel of the key compare to most other keyboard . they be almost flat and require less effort and movement to press each key . the manually adjustable brightness on the key be a nice touch , as well as the built-in proximity sensor that only light the keyboard if you be near it . at first , I could not figure out how the automatic brightness be work . it do not seem to be work at all . but after read the `` get start '' guide , I realize that after you make a manual adjustment to the brightness that the automatic brightness feature will turn back on after 3 hour of inactivity or when you turn the keyboard off and then on again . I use my computer about 8-9 hour per day , and the battery be last about 4 day until I need to plug it back in to recharge . my biggest problem be that I forget to turn it off use the keyboard 's power switch to help conserve the battery . I think I be go to just drop the wire behind the desk and keep it plug in most of the time . it be nice that the keyboard itself have the led battery charge meter on it so you do not have to keep open the SetPoint software to see what the approximate level be . in the past , I have be able to use exist Logitech receiver any time I replace my keyboard or mouse -lrb- if I do not purchase both together -rrb- . but the new unifying receiver be only compatible with other unifying product . so currently , since I do not yet have a unifying mouse , I have two different receiver . not a big deal , but I think it be worth mention . you may want to pick up a compatible unifying mouse with this keyboard if you usb port be limit . this keyboard be stay on my desk . small issue aside , I can not help but give this one 5 star . +185 Keyboard POS 5 awesome product . have it for about 4 or so now and work fanatastic . no issue and no negative either . they hv provide two usb connection so u can hv the connection point visible or almost invisible ... great idea ! +815 Keyboard NEG 1 I order this product on December 12 , 2011 ... it be be way over a month and I still have not receive it . very disappoint . will not buy from here again . +195 Keyboard NEG 1 receive my item in a timely manner . the keyboard pair with my playstation 3 with no problem -lrb- pairing require button to be press on keyboard so i know it work -rrb- but after pairing , the keyboard would not work with any app or in any place in the playstation . seem like I waste $ 13 and so do yourself a favor , do not waste you money and go buy something that be quality make and not make by a 6 year old chinese person . +914 Keyboard NEG 2 keyboard work just fine , it be durable and easy to type . I have no problem with this part . the `` moue '' however be horrible . like another reviewer state , you have to push down on the button to get it to move , and mine be extremely stiff and eventually hurt my thumb after just a short while of casual usage . it be finicky , do not respond well , be not even remotely accurate and be just plain bad design . I would recommend a bluetooth mouse to go with this keyboard and skip its mouse entirely . everything else work great and be configure very quickly . +608 Keyboard POS 5 this keyboard be exactly what I need : cheap , work out of the box , and quiet . it have a softer , nicer touch than my other Logitech wireless keyboard . it be slim and do not take up a lot of room on my desk . recommend it ! +975 Keyboard NEG 2 this item be either misrepresent or the 2 I purchase be defective . either way , they would not work more than a couple foot from the pc . I buy 2 -- one each for my bedroom and den . I want to use they as a remote control when watch video on the internet from the comfort of my recliner -- across the room from the pc . they do not work for I . +143 Keyboard POS 5 I have use the original g15 and g11 Logitech keyboard , so that be what I will be compare this keyboard to . obviously the keyboard do not have a lcd display but I find run two monitor that I rarely use that feature on the Logitech G15 keyboard anyway . the letter wear off by Logitech keyboard after a little under two year use . I have one replace and buy spare , but I finally run out . I decide to try a different keyboard manufacturer to see if the keyboard key would last longer under heavy use . it be obviously too soon to tell how the key on this keyboard will live up over a year or more time , but they at least give you spare key cap for the w a s and d -lrb- and arrow -rrb- key . the keyboard cable be fully detachable which will make it much easier move this keyboard from place to place . it be also cover with a braided cover which should help protect the wire within . the keyboard also come with a cloth bag to transport it in . the wrist rest on this keyboard be not detachable unlike with Logitech keyboard , but I find the gradual angle of the wrist rest do not impede I in any way . the keyboard have two usb 2.0 port on it , but they be only 100 miliamp power so they may not drive hi power drain device . the Logitech keyboard do not have usb 2.0 port on they so I be not really complain about this much . I would rather have usb 2.0 port that be not full power than only have usb 1.0 or 1.1 option . the media key be located above the number pad and arrow key as oppose to the top center of the keyboard . this be just a placement difference and in no way affect functionality . this keyboard have 10 macro key and four profile for a total of 40 potential macro . the key be located at each side of the keyboard with five key per side . I find this configuration take a little time to get use to but I think I like it now . the key on the right side of the keyboard easily hit by you mouse hand , of the key on the left-hand side of the keyboard the bottom three be easily hit with my pinky without move my hand from the w a s d key . the key be located slightly in from the side of the keyboard , enough so that you will not hit they by accident when move the keyboard or by bump the key on the side with the mouse hand unintentionally . the macro software could use better documentation however , I have not find a way to display the delay between keystroke yet use the software . however the macro I record seem to work well regardless . a couple thing I learn which might help other people program macro on this keyboard . first I find that after program macro you still have to select the macro profile with the keyboard itself , it do not default to any of the profile be on . second I find that my macro be enter into the game I be play much more reliably if I change the key press time to .1 second from .0 seconds . I have not yet go to the forum to see if they can explain the macro software better than the supply documentation and website . I do like the fact that the macro can be store on the internal memory of the keyboard itself -lrb- and must be for they to work -rrb- , which mean if I move this keyboard to another computer my macro will be with I without I have to reprogram they . you can of course also save the macro to you computer hard drive as well . the fan be small and do not move much air but I can feel it on my hand . it can be place in a power socket on either side of the keyboard , and rotate a full 360 . the positioning of the power outlet will allow you to place the fan where it easily cover you w a s d key or you number pad . the fan be not quite as gimmicky as I expect though I do not think I will use it on a regular basis live a house with cat . there be a slot on the back of the keyboard to store the fan when not in use . the backlighting on the keyboard seem perfectly acceptable to use in the dark and have three intensity setting not count off . the Thermaltake logo on the front of the keyboard can be turn off entirely in the software regardless of the backlighting option you have choose for the rest of the keyboard , which I find a nice feature . it would be nice to have other backlight color option other than red , but I know red be the only option on this keyboard at the time purchase and be not hold that against they . overall I be please with the purchase and will seriously consider get one for my wife when she current g11 keyboard wear out . I have use thermaltake product in the past and be happy with they , so I feel willing to take a risk with they keyboard offering . I have only own this keyboard for three day so far , so I will update this review later if my opinion change or if it appear not to be as durable as I currently expect it to be . \*\*\* Update 1\/3\/2012 \*\*\* the w a s d key do finally wear off a month or so ago -lrb- though I admittedly be use the stock black one not the red gaming one that it come with to swap out -rrb- . I switch to the red gaming key cap the keyboard come with and they be still hold up fine . all the other key still look new with no visible wear on they . I never use the fan other than to verify functionality of it . overall I be still happy with the keyboard performance so far . I will update in the future if and when the red gaming key wear out . +487 Keyboard POS 5 do not get I wrong , the iboard be definitely a niche product for most as be a lot of Motorola 's product . but in that niche , it be definitely a 5-star high quality device . if you be like I and have big or lanky finger and can not really use those tiny driplet size key on Qwerty keyboard nowadays not to mention the newest add-on keyboard Motorola now offer for they iden phone , this be the product for you . take a full-size laptop keyboard and put it into a collapsible tabletop keyboard with a cradle style connector for you phone . Works with all of Motorola 's latest iden phone that still have the classic ` Motorola Bus ' connector on the bottom . even the more modern i880\/i885 have no trouble with it . drastically reduce typing time from the t9 assist keypad entry to a full qwerty entry system which bypass any and all spelling\/capitalization suggestion that t9 usually offer . for the price it can usually be find for , it would be stupid not to pick one up if you do any moderate amount of text entry work on you Nextel phone . and as always , it be a classic Motorola product and be durable as a brick . fold up the case be make out of a sturdy aluminum which snugly fold the collapsible keyboard inside . +685 Keyboard POS 5 the reason I need a ergonomic keyboard be because I write a lot . and this keyboard be perfect . with my wrist lift up my hand have never ever be more comfortable typing . frankly the only problem - and this be a very serious one , unfortunately - be after use this keyboard , use a `` normal '' keyboard become a pain . especially those pitiful laptop keyboard . for anybody at all who need to write a great deal this keyboard be perfect . +165 Keyboard POS 4 one main reason I buy this pc be that it be advertise as have a SIM card slot . my unit have the SIM slot , but NOTHING into which to plug the SIM card . it be useless . Samsung ` help ' be of not ` help ' either . my model be the : xe700t1a-a03us . be careful . m +291 Keyboard POS 4 great product ! it be a minor adjustment get use to key , as they seem to ` stick ' at first . -lrb- though the skin be soft and smooth , not tacky . -rrb- in particular , the space bar be a issue for I , need too apply more pressure for it to work . less of a problem , now that my finger have adjust . also , I love that the keyboard be protect from the usual dust\/dirt , require less cleaning , and less worry about spill ! the color be fun , too . I 'll probably order the blue and the black , too ! +107 Keyboard NEU 3 the Logitech Cordless Elite Duo be a excellent keyboard and mouse combo . while I have not get the range some other have state , I still get more than Logitech 's advertised 6ft . they work well for daily activity and fast-pace game such as quake iii . the keyboard be very comfortable and easy to type on . the key be quiet and have a good feel . all the extra button be useful and add to the functionality of the keyboard . the mouse that be include I can not recommend for people who be left-handed and\/or have small hand . however , I find it to be comfortable and very responsive . the mouse be heavy compare to most mouse , but for the most part it be not noticeable . my only problem be that the software can be annoying . I like the function they have and the ease to set up , however , I do not like the little pop-up when you first use one of these button . I would have also like media button support of the interactual dvd player software . but I be sure that will come eventually . one last word of warning . be careful if you have a pocket pc install on you computer . the first time I install the itouch program , it cause a conflict and I have to spend about 2 1\/2 hour to figure out what be go on and to reinstall the activesync and the Logitech software . I would of give the keyboard at least a 4-5 if I have not have the driver conflict that I do . +562 Keyboard NEG 1 it never work . I could never get it to charge and then turn on . terrible would not purchase another one . +610 Keyboard POS 5 Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000 -lrb- b2l-00002 -rrb- the key be large which help in typing . it have a bit of a curve make it easier on the hand without get that middle split like the newer one . my bluetooth 's keep mess up or just die or the transceiver go bad . I get tire of have to replace it . it might have have a good warranty but lose the keyboard and wait for a new one be a pain . this be a simple usb that you just plug in and it be good to go . I have large hand and get tire of those little keyboard with the little key . type well , key do not ever stick . I be happy with this purchase . I use it to replace all my Microsoft Bluetooth 's that I love but have too many problem , too much replacement . +46 Keyboard POS 5 it work , use on a old Aser $ 400 notebook . just insure you connect to the internet from window to find the online driver . I have to uninstall it in the device manager and reinstall it connect to the internet , but hey it work like a charm . no need to pay more , though the cable be short , about 5 foot end to end so you may need a usb extension cable unless you want you computer in you lap as you play the keyboard . note : use on a Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit system +90 Keyboard POS 4 the cable be only about 7 inch - not 2.3 foot . Works fine , even on Windows Vista . just plug in and it install . Cable need its own port - it will not work if plug into a usb hub . this be great if you new computer come without PS\/2 port . +295 Keyboard NEG 1 sadly do not fit my 13inch Macbook that I buy about 3 year ago . I must have misread the information ... so I return it . look like it be suppose to fit a Macbook pro . the free keyboard skin be awesome though ! for the 2 seconds I use it anyway . but it be a great cover , just not for 13inch Macbooks . +734 Keyboard POS 5 most desktop keyboard in the market have mushy key with poor tactile feedback . that be one reason people pay outrageous amount for old IBM minus keyboard with the clicky key in the use market . this keyboard come close to the famous IBM keyboard that be no longer make in tactile feedback . it be the same size as a laptop keyboard , but have better feel than most laptop keyboard . other than a bit of a unusual layout due to the unconventional placement of the Home , End , Delete , Page up and Page Down key , this keyboard be darn near perfect , and well worth the price . I read other user ' claim that this keyboard have great feedback , but I do not believe it at first . now I be a believer . +251 Keyboard POS 4 okay , I order the cover for my macbook last February 25 , and it be set to arrive around March 3 to 8 . I be so pleasantly surprise yesterday when the order come in so early ! I love how it feel , it fit perfectly , and the look be just great ! the only reason I give it 4.5 star instead of 5 , be because it be a bit yellowish , and I be hope it come a little more lemme think . . clean and transparent ? nonetheless , I love it !! if you love orange like I do , you have to get this now ! : -rrb- topcase just get itself a new loyal and happy customer -- I : '' -rrb- +867 Keyboard POS 5 then you need this keyboard ... take a little get use to but once you master it , you pain will go away over time . also keep other from use you keyboard !!! love this ergonomic product . +302 Keyboard POS 5 I purchase this mostly for the touch pad mouse function for the pc that be cable to my tv . I want a remote control size mouse\/keyboard to use for control the pc interface when browse movie to stream . this be perfect for what I need it do . I especially like the backlight feature since I usually have the room dark when I be use this product . +118 Keyboard POS 5 where my desk be situate it be very dark where my keyboard be located . I try those battery light to light above my keyboard but it do not work . I buy this keyboard , all problem solve . I can always see the key plus it look great ! love change the color to suit my mood : -rrb- +24 Keyboard NEG 2 hi the keyboard skin fit the key really well but it doesnt stick to the keyboard at all , so it need to be adjust again and again and secondly the skin block all the light that come from the key . in all not advisable to be use . +489 Keyboard NEU 3 I have be use this keyboard for year , at work and at home , and I be always wonderfully satisfy with they . until yesterday , when I open a pressurized bottle of soda and it spray some soda onto the keyboard . my keyboard soon develop funky behavior , and then while try to figure out what be go on -lrb- I think a key have get stick -rrb- , eventually reboot my system to see if it be merely a software problem . unfortunately , my computer could not successfully boot , and when I turn the power off and on again , my computer be dead . i take apart the m natural keyboard , and find that under the rubber key support , there be two layer of conductor-coated plastic separate by a thin sheet of plastic . the conductor trace around the left control key look as though they have burn . look at the keyboard design , it appear that the power lead for the LED 's be very close to the lead for the keystroke , and apparently power from the keyboard connector get feed back to the computer on the datum line , kill the computer as well as the keyboard . do not get you m natural elite keyboard wet , whatever you do . +642 Keyboard POS 5 probably like many of you I have try many a tv set-top box that promise to change my tv viewing experience forever . countless `` digital media adapter '' from many different vendor . inevitably they fail to live up to the promise -- of the `` god box '' -- one box that will play any media from anywhere . often they more than fail to deliver on this promise , they be impossible to use or simply too buggy to keep in my living room . the revue , on the other hand , while not perfect yet , have largely do what none of these box could do . and we be at the early stage of googletv and what it will be able to deliver . setup be fairly simple , take I through a few screen to connect to my home network , do a software update , and then link up to my DISH Network ViP622 DVR . the $ 4.00 charge by dish be just silly ... but I do give dish credit for bring this product to they subscriber ahead of anyone else . have to use a keyboard to interact with my tv take a bit of get use to , but be not nearly as difficult as I think it would be . the keyboard be very small and lightweight . the logitech iphone remote control app be interesting also and the right vision in term of two screen interactivity , but for now I think I like the keyboard better . searching for content across the internet and my dish dvr be simple now . there be a bit of a adjustment period of get use to tv as just one of many application the revue can deliver on . I have be enjoy a variety of content on the web from amazon vod and many other site . integration with the dish dvr be ok , although I have find that some recording be not setup correctly when do via the revue . but overall the integration be good , you will never pick up the dish remote control again . BTW , actually one of the best feature of this product be that it be `` transparent '' to you tv watch unless you pick up the keyboard and interact with it . if you have someone in you house who be not so interested in use the revue , they can continue use the dish dvr the same way as before . the logitech vidhd camera be cool , but at this point I do not know many people that have one . disappointingly , the built-in camera on my laptop seem incompatible and I need to purchase a external camera to be able to call my googletv . if they could make my iphone 4 front face camera work with it , that would be very cool feature . the build in media player app -lrb- for play content off the hdd -rrb- be a nice addition , although I would say not a mainstream feature . although it be mark as `` beta '' it be able to play most of the video file from my collection . all in all I highly recommend this product . as a 1.0 product I think Logitech and google have do a remarkable job in deliver on the vision of bring the internet and tv together . +588 Keyboard NEG 1 this be a wonderful keyboard with correct `` 6 '' spacing and excellent comfort level . it have be very durable for the 3 month that I have own it . in fact , everything be perfect about this keyboard except that the letter have all wear off . yes , I be a medical transcriptionist and type 40 + hour a week on this . I know this be a lot of use , but I keep remember the IBM Selectrics that I learn on in high school that be 30 year old but still have all the letter intact . even the paint on the symbol key be wear off , which could be a problem as I do not have these memorize . I be really irritated about the cheapo letter paint . I hope it be not toxic as I have absorb it all in my fingertip . +601 Keyboard POS 5 I come into this without very much hope for it , I mean a wireless keyboard + touchpad with function key and backlighting with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and a red laser to boot ? all from a fairly unknown company ? it sound like the sort of hodgepodge that you would find in a discount bin at a flea market . this be not the case . this thing be just awesome . first off I want to talk about the touchpad and what they do not really inform you about for some reason , it be a multi-touch touchpad . what this mean be that it can detect more than one finger at a time -lrb- I have not try any 3 finger command but two finger command do work , for instance put two finger and move they down will cause the page to scroll down . -lrb- and it actually work as good as the one on my netbook -rrb- move the mouse and click with it also work well , even on my 1920 x 1080 resolution screen . the keyboard be very similar to what you would get on a black berry cell phone in how they feel , personally I would have prefer more of a standard style for they but these still get the job do and work just as well . the backlighting work great , not too bright and not too dim , and can be turn off which be a nice feature consider that it would be a waste of energy in the day . the function key work as they should and be clearly label include most of the common media player control and a few neat addition like ctrl + alt + del , a button I be not certain what it do -lrb- it be inscribe on the key as rf but when click it turn on the cap lock and for a little while button will not register on the computer like it be set up some kind of macro but I do not know where I would even press to activate it , if anyone know what it be for please comment ! : d -rrb- and a button that do something insanely cool . the button -lrb- function key alt -rrb- turn the transmission of the touchpad 90 degree , what be do it it allow you to hold it like a remote and use the laserpointer without have to hold one hand sideways to control it . it work very well and be something I have never see before ! the wireless receiver be a nano receiver -lrb- the really tiny kind -rrb- and work fairly well , it pick up input from my bed a good 6-7 foot away no problem and I have find it to only start sputter at around 15 foot away . when not in use you can store the receiver within the unit in a compartment on the top . the actual transmission of keystrokes\/mouse movement be great . I have have full size keyboard and mouse that would miss a keystroke since it have to wake up but this one pick up every one even if it have fall `` asleep '' the battery so far have be great , it come with a charge cable and it have as of yet not die on I or even come up with a low power light -lrb- also it have a indicator for when the battery be charge or low along with one for cap lock and another light for something I have yet to discover -rrb- the laser pointer be a laser pointer , it look very bright but I honestly never have one before so I do not really have much to compare it to so I do not have much to say about it . overall the layout of the button be pretty good , the only thing I would change be I would have put the right and leave mouse button on the top edge of the unit rather than below the touchpad . if they have i wold have be able to put another pro , game . it would have actually be able t work similarly to a video game controller -lrb- make the touchpad a virtual joystick -rrb- I try play call of duty with it and the only problem I have be a. my thumb be too big for the `` WASD '' key and B. the mouse button be hard to press . other than that it actually hold up pretty well . if anyone from Favi be read this try make one for gaming ! it would be sweet ! -rrb- overall this device be awesome , for $ 30 buck there be nothing better on the market ! +657 Keyboard POS 5 I buy this baby after hear about the wonder of a mechanical keyboard , and there simply be no word that can explain how much better they feel than traditional one . the wonderful clicky sound you get when you press a key , the feeling of it on you finger . Use one for a day and then try to type on a regular keyboard , it will feel mushy and give you a stomach ache . this model be wonderful for anyone who do a lot of typing and gaming . they keyboard be heavy , so it do not slide around , and the easy to press clicky key will increase you wpm -lrb- or APM for you fellow Starcraft 2 nerd -rrb- . the lack of label force you to memorize the key , and as someone who use to look down every now and then for a symbol or two , I can honestly say this make you a much better typist . -lrb- plus it look cool as hell -rrb- . the only complaint I can possibly give this keyboard be its usb hub . the keyboard have 2 usb plug , one for the actual keyboard , and one that power 2 usb 2.0 slot on the right side of the keyboard . the problem be if you plug anything with a reasonably big usb plug into the slot , they get into you mouse area . other than that , I can not recommend this keyboard enough . if you be still typing on a regular keyboard , do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a mechanical , and you might as well fork over the money for the best . +199 Keyboard NEG 2 the keyboard look pretty good . the light keyboard have a nice consistent blue `` glow '' on each key . type on it be not great . several key much be strike dead on for they to function properly - they do not stick , but they be not smooth when strike from the side or with a glance blow . there be also a texture to the key that I find distracting . if you lightly rub you finger across the keyboard , it feel like lot of micro ridge . +702 Keyboard POS 5 unbeatable for the money . good typing feel , easy to get accustom to , and comfortable . I love the `` calculator '' speed key -lrb- I also like the fact that it work under Windows without have to load software -rrb- . +998 Keyboard POS 5 let I start off by describe what the happy hacking keyboard -lrb- hhk from now on -rrb- be : the hhk be a small keyboard by any standard , the layout be reminiscent of Sun 's System 5 keyboard , where the control key be located where the cap lock usually be . the small form factor be achieve by place the ESC key be just to the left of the `` 1 '' key -lrb- as oppose to be to left of the f1 key , sometimes with a gap in between -rrb- and the Back Space be just over the enter key -lrb- as oppose to be next to the '' = '' key -rrb- also the arrowkey , pg up\/down , insert and delete key , Prt Sc , Scroll Lock and Break key be access via the Fn key and one of the letter key on the right side of the keyboard -lrb- I , O , p , K. L , etc. . . -rrb- . most of the feature of the hhk can be alter via the dip switch on the back , where you can decide if the Delete key will really be a delete -lrb- and delete forward -rrb- or a typical backspace . if you can not take the control key be where it be , or if you use the cap lock function regularly you can also change that with the dip switch . there be many other option you can change , and I would advise anyone who feel reluctant with the HHK 's layout to do a quick google search prior to the purchase and check all the possible combination of those switch . it have a usb connection -lrb- female on the keyboard , so it be detachable -rrb- and two usb port to plug in peripheral . I own ten of keyboard with vary degree of collectability and , to be honest , usability . about a year ago I purchase a hhk Lite -lrb- similar to the pro 2 when it come to layout , although my version have dedicate arrow key -rrb- and I it feel like home in term of key placement , I be unix\/linux user for the most part and have the control key `` right there '' and the ESC key just a inch away from my pinky be simply perfect -lrb- if you be a vim\/emacs user you 'll certainly appreciate that -rrb- . the Lite version however be somewhat sub-par in term of quality , the pro 2 be simply in another league and I 'll talk about that later in the review . it never stop I from swap keyboard every time I have the chance , but I always come back to the hhk Lite . so what can you expect from you first few typing session with a hhk ? as soon as you lay you hand on the keyboard and start typing the first oddity be the backspace key , it be simply not where you would expect and it take some time to get use to it be just over the enter key . curiously I adjusted very quickly to have the control key just to the left of my pinky . the lack of cursor key be not a big problem for I , although you milage may of course vary , so do take that into account . the only think I can vouch for regard the arrow key be that press fn and then the letter for the correct arrow become second nature and to be honest the position of the Fn key guarantee that the `` chord '' do not feel awkward . of all the keyboard I own the keycap on the pro 2 be simply the best I have ever experience , it be hard to explain how they have just the right amount of `` grain '' to make you feel you finger be hold on to something , but at the same time it do not hold they back at all , the plastic feel solid and like something very likely to survive a nuclear holocaust and subsequent fallout , curiously if you pick up the keyboard if feel fairly light though solid in construction . the electronics be as good as they get these day -lrb- though some might argue that dip switch be terribly old fashion and that with this price tag be certainly could have some internal memory to store setting -rrb- , the HHK use Topre switch , the mechanism use a spring shape like a cone , accord to the maker of the keyboard it allow a better feel and a longer lifespan . BTW , just because it be a mechanical keyboard do not mean it be a `` clicky '' keyboard , it be not , it be not much noisier than you stock keyboard , though if I have to describe the sound it be a bit lower -lrb- frequency wise -rrb- than one would expect , and it sound `` compress '' . this be obviously a very personal opinion , but I like it . as a quick reference , the Lite version be not mechanical , the electronics be not nearly as good and the plastic on the keycap be not any better than whatever keyboard come with you desktop computer , for the price the Lite be not all it be crack up to be and unless you be hook on the HHK 's layout there be certainly better option out there for about the same buck . I can not really rave enough about the HHK pro 2 , it be a wonderful keyboard load with feature and it ooze this feel of be a boutique keyboard . ... but man , that be a steep price tag ! +632 Keyboard NEG 1 I think that this would be a great item . boy , be I wrong . my friend who be a it person where I work could not get it to set up or function . this be a piece of junk and not worth the $ 9.95 that I pay for it . if I have the original pack it would be on it be way back to where it come from . DON `` t invest in it . +329 Keyboard POS 5 save you hand from crapal tunnel easy to use a pleasure to use destroy the basic dell keyboard 100 to one wont be sorry on this one dynamite product +242 Keyboard POS 4 if you want a keyboard for you calculator , this be you only option . it have all the letter , but it lack other button such as some for programming which give the keyboard limited functionality . it also come with some nice software that be like notepad for calculator so you can save and manage you file . it be pretty easy to set up , you just have to download a new operating system for you calculator . overall good accessory for every calculator finatic , somewhat pricey , but again , its the only one +756 Keyboard POS 5 I think the item be fantastic . it be exactly what i be look for and i look forever . it fit perfectly over my 13 '' macbook , the old white one . and be verrrry cool with the pink over the white key . people ask I all the time if my keyboard be custom make , and be surprise when i pull up the sheet , highly recommend ! and my roommate get the purple one , awesome as well . +156 Keyboard NEG 2 on a fresh set of battery , this keyboard be barely able to transmit a signal 2 meter , with clear line-of-sight to the antenna . it be pathetic ; at this range , one in ten keystroke just do not go through . it do not help that it use the same 2.4 GHz band as the WiFi , so the keyboard stop work any time there be a active download , and the wifus stop work any time you type . physically and ergonomically , it be great . the side make very good handle , and the trackball and mouse button be well-positioned . the built-in trackball be nice when it work -lrb- same reception problem , plus it do not track fast motion very well -rrb- . overall , however , the reception and interference problem make this a poor design . +534 Keyboard POS 4 price : Great . less than a dollar plus less than 4 dollar for shipment . package : the product be inside a cardboard envelop , and in my situation a corner be fold , but it do not cause permanent damage on the skin . - after a week of use this product the skin cover the light from the letter , as it be tell in the specification . it do not fit perfectly , but it fit very well , and the corner do not fold at all . it take I a couple of day to get use to it , but now its fine . it look well on the computer , cant complain . conclusion I be unsure about buy this product cuz the other similar skin be around 20 dollar and they do not block the light from the keyboard , but this product have great review and i will personally recommend it as well . it be worth for the long term or for wait while a non-blocking-light-cheap version come out ! +965 Keyboard POS 5 smoothest keyboard ever . . light up nice and bright and shut off in a short time of inactivity love it . . highly recommend . cordless , light . sweet . +664 Keyboard POS 5 this be a great purchase for I . the device itself be slim and small enough to keep it with rest of the remote control . I use it operate a computer connect to my hdtv and it work great from about 12 foot away . tap on the mouse pad or scrolling by run the finger on the pad sometimes do not work as great while the device be hand hold - I generally place it on the arm rest for more stability for these operation . overall it have make life so much simpler for not have to worry about a full size keyboard and mouse lie around in we living room but still get the full use of the hide computer . +335 Keyboard NEG 1 I will not go into technical detail but this be the worst phone I have ever have . I would expect more from a `` pda '' but this one have be on my crap list since day 1 of use it ! +432 Keyboard POS 5 very please to the eye and very responsive . only negative thus far installaton cd be not include as state , not sure why . Got sofrware and latest driver off site and everything go well without a hitch . key be rather large and to my liking , the lead light have 2 brightness level and the choice for none which be nice . very pleased , would definitely recommend ! +807 Keyboard POS 5 I have no idea what people be complain about . this keyboard be fantastic . I be typing on it right now and it be awesome . also it take 3 day from when I order it ! +713 Keyboard POS 5 work as expect . have great range . reasonably price . I run my laptop to a projector and can sit back on the couch and work the keyboard and mouse with no problem . +264 Keyboard POS 5 this be a new and potentially great product . the industry wonder why Apple do so well . that be not that they have not do the same in many of they product failure . 1 . why not put in a super quiet fan - this one be noisy side . probably save 25 cent at OEM cost . 2 . should have use the fastest atom processor - you be try to impress with a new launch . this processor be just adequate . 3 . a light keyboard -lrb- would have be nice -rrb- as many time we be in the dark or dimly light room in the evening . why not make you new customer delighted instead of complain about ! 4 . if these cost be go to make the margin too lean ask Google for help ! after all this be you first step forward . this should all be do right in the first launch as they be no break technology here . over all I like it a lot - I be concern about the fan noise . that depend on just how quiet one 's home . after month of use like it more and more - great addition despite all +742 Keyboard POS 5 this keyboard seem to enable I to type twice as fast as any other , and I do not type . pass the spill beer test the first week . what else can I say ? +350 Keyboard POS 4 it come with a extra charge cable ! but the dock itself work great -- sturdy yet lightweight ; easy to use . great addition to the GALAXY tab . recommend . +456 Keyboard NEG 1 the piece that hold the palm to the keyboard fall apart - little metal and plastic bit everywhere . it be impossible to put back together . I have not mistreat or mishandle it , it be just very fragile . -lrb- in fact , I wish I have do something bad to it - I would feel better . -rrb- I do not recommend that you buy this keyboard . +924 Keyboard POS 5 the quick and dirty : I have to buy a new keyboard when I dump a full glass of wine on my old one . this one be great . backlight rock . the macro key be all but useless . the keyboard be a bit thick so you finger will take a bit to get use to it . the thing be a bit wide , too . the lcd version be relatively useless for gaming since you have to take you eye off the screen to look at it , though there be a subculture that code all sort of thing for it . I highly recommend this keyboard . +792 Keyboard NEG 1 I never get this item after about a month after order it . this buyer be clearly not reliable . be careful +931 Keyboard POS 5 I have have this product for about 3 month now to replace a McAlly Bluetooth keyword . I be get annoyed at how long it take my previous bluetooth keyboard to connect to my iMac when it turn on or when it wake from sleep . I need a keyboard with a numeric pad but do not want sacrifice the wireless aspect . this keyboard connect wirelessly via usb to the direct connection be strong and consistent . I have not see a affect on battery life because my desk lamp keep it charge , which I think be one of the best selling point of this keyboard . aesthetically , it be sexy and compliment my iMac . so far so good and cant complain about it . +468 Keyboard POS 5 the first one I receive be doa so I get a refund and order another one . I have have the replacement for about three week and it be great ! the keyboard charge within a couple of hour and it use the apple 30-pin connector so it be very convenient in that respect . I have not do a rigorous battery test on the key but I have use they for a couple of hour straight without a hitch . the key go into sleep mode after a couple minute to save battery and reconect in a second as soon as you strike a key . it conveniently have a switch on the side so when you do not need it you can just turn in off . it have all the key like a regular keyboard . the right shift key be a little weird to hit as well as the delete key , they both take a bit of get use to but not too bad , other than that it be a relatively nice keyboard to type on . I be write the whole review with it . there be also a whole set of very useful function key at the top such as brightne , home button , search , select all , copy , paste , cut , play pause , next track , previous track , volume up and down , mute , and lock . the keyboard be hold on by pretty strong magnet and can be remove if not need . the case be synthetic leather and it feel nice , it have a loop to hold a stylus below where the home button go . the inside surface of the case have a suede feeling . all of the opening for button , mic , speaker and camera be well place and easily accesible . the be one mod I have to do however ; the flap that hold the ipad in place start get some play and the ipad gigle around a bit and I get nervous about it fall out , specially after read a review that it have happen to somebody so I get some velcro with the sticky back and put it on oposite side of where the flap meet the case and problem solve , my ipad be securely in place and I can take it out easily if I need to . with the couple of flaw it have the price more than make up for it , and at $ 35 you can not go wrong and get a great keyboard case for all of you that need to type while on the go . +971 Keyboard NEU 3 I be a developer so I be look to get a keyboard where I can spill coffee in it and not worry about break the keyboard , plus the flexibility be great to store in a backpack . it be a great product but only if you do not type too fast . the key response be very slow and some time you just press a key and it seem that it be not respond . if you type slowly , it will work wonder , but if you case be to type fast , do not get it . +495 Keyboard POS 5 let I say this first of all . if you do not like noisy tactile keyboard this one be not for you . if you have use a IBM model m or one of the old Northgate keyboard you will love this keyboard . I have have computer since the old Heath kit and then buy a Northgate computer with the state of the art Intel processor - a 386dx and with the computer come a Northgate Omni keyboard . I love it . that all that ledt of that old system . Long toss but keep keyboard . the Model S Professional be the keyboard I purchase . it be the one with the letter key . they make one without letter so be sure of what you want . I have have it now for a couple of week now . it have the feedback that I like . you know when you press a key , you hear the key-press as well as feel the positive feedback . it seem to be very well make . it be not ergonomic as there be no wrist rest . it be not a media keyboard but I do not use those feature anyway . I have own a Logitech Wave and k350 keyboard and a Microsoft media keyboard -lrb- 6000 -rrb- . I just do not like the feedback from these membrane keyboard . oh yes it be a wire keyboard with a two port usb hub located on the side . to get the full benefit of the unlimited n-key rollover you need the old style ps2 port and in addition a usb port so that the usb hub on the keyboard will function . very expensive but well worth the price . +463 Keyboard POS 4 Works really well easy to use however if the need arise to use you computer in safe mode , use a regular corded keyboard as a wirele one will not work in safe mode . +621 Keyboard POS 5 buy this cover originally for my new white macbook , but 2 day later trade the macbook for the macbook pro . I receive the package in the mail 4 day after I order , super fast delivery . this cover fit perfectly for the macbook and the macbook pro . I really love that the light beneath the keyboard be still able to show through the cover , great for typing in dark area . it take a little get use to typing on it , but I have already get use to it . the more you use it , the more it mold to you keyboard and the easier it be to type . for the money , this be a excellent buy and much better quality than the keyboard cover you may find at a electronic store which be way more expensive . look great , feel great , great price ! you can not go wrong ! +110 Keyboard NEG 1 Wireless could be better . it would sometimes drop out on I and then kick back in . could not be more than a few foot from the computer . but the most annoying part about this product be that you could not tell if the cap lock or num lock be on . it need a indicator light . the num lock would change some of you text to number if it be on , so you would type and then realize it be on . not a big deal if it happen once in a while , but it happen all the time . I swear that thing turn itself on . have it about 2 month , the scroll wheel break . I be now on here look for a new keyboard and it will not be this one . +154 Keyboard POS 5 the item be great , it work especially well in poorly light area ! the back light keyboard have be the best I have see and I highly recommend +93 Keyboard POS 4 the keyboard seem fine , except it do not have the short-stroke , easy press , quiet , laptop keyboard style key . it have the clicky one like a normal computer keyboard with longer stroke . +357 Keyboard POS 4 Mine be ship by LiangQuan Wang -lrb- Maple leaf02 -rrb- . I also have the lenovo n5902 . the product I receive be consistent with the picture . only the box do not say `` ipazzport '' , it say `` Ultra Mini Keyboard '' . everything else look the same as the picture . pro : Works . cheap . light . Trackpad work better than the lenovo n5902 trackpad in my opinion . con : cheap . can not use window key shortcut . -lrb- even think there be a window key , you have to hold the fn to use it . only work if you need to press just the window key . but for example the show desktop shortcut window key + d will not work -rrb- . Range . -lrb- there be many version of this product on amazon , as well as other chinese site like meritline and dx . all of they say 10m range , a few of they say 30m range -lrb- like this one -rrb- . DO NOT believe 30m . I think something get lose in the translation and they be all about 10m \/ 30ft range . my computer be in another room and if you use a usb extension it act like a antenna tehreby increase you range . THIS be a must if you plan on use it more than 5ft away -rrb- despite the con , I find this item to be more suitable than the lenovo n5902 . the lenovo have similar range , be able to use window shortcut , but the trackpad be a deal breaker for I . the trackpad on the 5902 be just terrible ! +50 Keyboard NEG 1 I do not like this product . the keyboard function do not work consistency . the pointer do not work . +929 Keyboard POS 5 I buy this as I work from home and sometimes long hour into the night . the room light can get pretty irritating on my eye for those hour and I be bill conscious . this light be great so far ! it feel and look sturdy yet flexible and grab without pinch - the usb do not drag down the port and sit pretty comfortable there . not only be the light bright enough to illuminate my full size laptop computer keyboard but give a area of illumination that cover my work phone on one side and my write implement on the next . Pretty strong light be what I be say ! +547 Keyboard POS 4 the Palm Treo 650 be a great pda for it be day . newer version and different brand have more of the `` latest technology '' and smaller size , but it be still a great cell phone and datum device . the free software to sync to outlook work great too . very cost effective compare to other newer brand sell today . if you be buy a use treo 650 , watch out for the earpiece and speaker phone . many have stop work , and repair be expensive . look out for whether it be a gsm -lrb- use a SIM card -rrb- or cdma version . you must have the correct one depend on your cell service provider . of course , that be true of all cell phone ! +448 Keyboard POS 5 I be tire of my keyboard look so dirty so I buy this item . it be great for such a low price . I be still try to get use to the feel of it since it be a pretty different feel than the regular keyboard . it seem to be a bit loose on the edge but besides that , it be very nice . definitely worth the money though . +1 Keyboard POS 4 this shipping be quick and the packing be legit . it fit ok but one of the clip do not work but only on the bottom of the cover . they key board cover be awesome and the top cover of the computer fit just fine . overall satisfied with my purchase . +35 Keyboard POS 5 I have now have this keyboard skin for almost 12 month and it be go strong . use to have one before it that be more expensive -lrb- $ 23 , from a better known brand Moshi -rrb- , but my old one just look horrible after a while -- shiny and stain on the key , protect the keyboard underneath but look embarrassingly filthy itself , soon become warped and out of shape whenever crinkle . this dirt cheap alternative do not look embarrassingly dirty -lrb- perhaps due to the black key ; the other one be transparent -rrb- and be still shaped flat like the day i buy it ... I order it a year ago come June , and have not have a day of dissatisfaction ... I can imagine have it for a long time in the future . +424 Keyboard NEU 3 my keyboard come with thee iMac in March 2003 . just about a month ago it start skip and extra spacing . Cleaning be not a option since the unit be seal so I be look for a new one . maybe 4 1\/2 year be not a bad time ? what I do not like about this board be that there where no instruction with it that mean discover as you go . this be my main reason why I be go to try a different board . +100 Keyboard POS 4 buy this remote for my zotac -lrb- zbox -rrb- . after I throw Ubuntu on the computer and start it up , I be able to connect the remote even at the initial bio screen . no tweaking , no issue , just work . also test fine with the PS3 , though not much of a time saver there if you be already adept with the six-axis . I after many many night and day of forget to turn off the remote or leave the back-lit key turn on , I have yet to run out of battery power -lrb- and I be still run off the initial out-of-box factory charge -rrb- . I be happy with they choice for key layout and design . the media control be nice , but I would have opt to make f1-f9 secondary key and the media control the primary . hold fn + f7 to skip a chapter seem like one button too many if you desire a `` no-look '' remote . I have not test Bluetooth thoroughly yet , but I know it do not get recognize by my PS3 or laptop so maybe that be just a bogus selling point ? maybe my battery be low , but my Remote have never be very effective at distance greater than 6ft . after that , the mouse will get jumpy and non-responsive , and you 'll be go back to retype many sentence as certain keystroke be not log . overall , I like this remote for what it be . a very cheap alternative to a $ 120 Logitech wireless unit . I pay $ 22 and be very happy with what I get . I would recommend this to anyone , though do not expect detailed spec , , direction , support out of the box - there be none . thankfully everything seem to `` just work '' so happy couch surfing ! +450 Keyboard POS 5 excellent buy !!! the software install flawlessly , very easy to remap macro button , very very comfortable design for both the mouse and keyboard , convenient button on keyboard make great shortcut , wireless capability top all I have see by not mess up with cell phone interference . overall amazing value , amazing product !! +571 Keyboard POS 5 I have have it for about one semester now . everything work perfectly out of the box . very fun to type on ... nice and tactile . I be worry it would get on my nerve , but it do not at all . it be not excessively loud . +168 Keyboard POS 5 thanks again , nice job . HP - Wireless usb keyboard and mouse Combo keep up the great job . keep I no you email list . +717 Keyboard POS 5 I do not know what other people be complain about as far as the space bar go . but then again I be a heavy typist . I love this keyboard over any normal keyboard . as far as slow down typing I have not notice that but I do not type that fast as other . then again after only a few hour typing on it I have notice that the spacebar be a little stiff . but I 'll live with it . +875 Keyboard POS 4 pro : dimension , design , build & relative performance con : lack of WWAN Conclusion : give the minor annoyance about the lack of WWAN , low screen rotation and less than advertise battery life , this be the best slate pc available as of q1 2012 . Reviewer : my main reason for purchase it be to reduce my accoutrements for the road . I be on the road ~ 40 week out of the year & my gear -lrb- laptop + ipad + phone + support cable and etc. -rrb- for North America weigh in around 17lb . for international travel , add another 2 lb . I desperately want to pare down my stuff for the road . Series 7 Slate replace my laptop & iPad , which reduce my gear weight to 5lb for North America & 7lb for International travel . when you be on the road as much as I be , that mean a lot . product impression : it be beautiful and feel solid . during initial configuration , it do not seem to be stable . after repeat the initial configuration twice , I apply the BIOS UPDATE , slate be rock solid . -lrb- note to Samsung - please do a better job of organize the web site so that the update be easier to find . -rrb- have not connect the slate to a large external monitor to test it as a desktop replacement , but then again , it be not the main reason for the purchase . product rating as follow : overall 4 - see comment below feature 4 - lack of WWAN -lrb- for now -rrb- Slate case have a slot dedicate for SIM , but be not active at the time of purchase . not a big deal since I can access the web via tethering to my android phone , however , it would have be a nice feature for someone like I . I may upgrade to a newer model when the feature become available . Performance 4 - relatively slow screen rotation & battery life could be better several reviewer comment about the relatively slow screen rotation -lrb- when compare to ipad -rrb- . this may have to do with Windows 7 limitation rather than the hardware issue . when the Windows 8 become available , I hope that it will address the issue . another issue be the battery life . Samsung 's claim of 7 hour be bit optimistic . in real world , I be get about 4 hour , which be enough to get I from NY to sf or 2\/3 way to Paris . while power plug -lrb- in business class -rrb- take care of the issue , longer battery life be always appreciate . -lrb- note : overstate battery performance be a issue with all the hardware manufacturer , not just Samsung . caveat emptor ... -rrb- have say that , I be aware of the issue at the time of the purchase and can live with the minor annoyance . design 4 - could use another usb port Slate have 1 usb port , which I understand , but why be the dock limit to only 1 usb port as well ? while simple usb hub correct the problem , it be another thing to carry and remember on the road . Value 3 - not for everyone while I can justify the cost of the slate , I suspect that for most people with light e-mail and web surfing need may baulk at the price . for majority of the people , ipad or android tablet be a perfectly viable option . however if you need Windows hardware and not willing to carry around a laptop and tablet combination , this be the best slate pc available as of q1 2012 . +396 Keyboard NEU 3 this case be awesome . the only issue I have be that I have the first generation Ipad and the case do not close . it be like the devide be too big for the case . the closing flap will not close . : - -lrb- +550 Keyboard NEG 1 one key pop off keyboard as it come out of the box . no blue light to indicate charge unless I hold the adapter the whole time . have see this charge complaint by other . have write to Zagg to report the problem . have have a bad experience myself , I know another person who be very happy with he Zaggmate and take it everywhere . feel like I get a lemon . Hope Zagg can help I . disappoint so far . +893 Keyboard POS 5 this be my second Ergo 4000 and I really could not be happier -lrb- well if it be wireless that would be sooooo awesomer -rrb- . I buy my first one after 4 month of be a software engineer . I write code for about 8 hour a day -lrb- 9-5 , m-f -rrb- so my wrist start to hurt after a whole day of typing . I buy one of those keyboard cushion and hate it . I find this keyboard for sale on , I think , Newegg and have be love it ever since . that keyboard be still work just fine but need to be take apart and clean -lrb- all keyboard need to be clean , ew -rrb- . I decide to buy a new one and take the old one home for use in my ` home office ' . I have spend hour and hour try to find a replacement that I would like . saddly split ergo be not in fashion any more . I have try the Wave and play with a bunch of logitech keyboard but the only one I have even think about switch to be the Smartfish Technologies K2418B Reflex ErgoMotion Keyboard that and people complain about the cramped numberpad which I use a lot . I even try look for a split that at least have some kind od padding like the 4000 but all I find be either gel or plastic . I end up come right back to this one . it may not be stylish as a logitech , or as solid as a 80 's mechanical keyboard but this thing still beat they all at comfort and reliablity . actual review : the key be pretty silent but I type kind of fast and hard so there be some muted clacking but it be pretty light . the key themselves have a matted feel to they and spring back up when you press down . you do not need a lot of force to press but you know you press a key . rarely can you accidently press a key and not know you do -lrb- never happen to I but I guess these thing can happen -rrb- . there be review about the how you have to press near the center of the spacebar to register a `` space '' but I have never have that . the spacebar be oversized and my thumb rest directly on it without any effort on my part . some split key board have the two spacebar or the oddly shaped one but this board have a oversized one that spand the entire split . I have never set up the `` my favorite '' key so I can not comment on those but I see somewhere online that you could substitute macro rather than \* . exe or homepage . -lrb- if I find it again I 'll edit this post . -rrb- the zoom button I use rarely but only when I need to up the font size in Notepad + + . I use the hell out of the volume and calculator button . the play button work in iTunes but be really mean for Windows Media Player . the volume control be mean for the system sound not as a media player control . my programming enviroment do not recognize the '' = '' \/ '' -lrb- '' \/ '' -rrb- '' key find above the numberpad but this be due mainly to such old software -lrb- vs6 -rrb- but word -lrb- even 2010 -rrb- see they . con : the only real complaint I have be that there be no real wireless version . the 7000 I think be wireless but you need to use the mouse and I have no need for it -lrb- I use a Logitech vx at home and a MX at work -rrb- . and just a note , depend on what OS and hardware you be on the volume control can take up to a 3-4 seconds to adjust the volume . I be pretty sure on a fast system that you will not even notice a lag if there be one . remark : after 5 year of solid use the key that be oringally matte be now shiny and a few letter have rub off but the keyboard still work just as it do the day i first set it up . it be be to 3 different company and survive 2 move . the pleather\/leather be still the same color as it be , no rip , no fading , no tear apart , no little piece flake off , etc. . a rubber foot do come off but that happen like a few month ago which again speak volume about the overall construction . and the little lead light on the bottom still work ! I 'll post a picture of they side by side later so you can see what I be talk about . +927 Keyboard NEG 1 this be suppose to be use as the primary input method for my new Mac Mini HTPC . this constantly drop signal . I try 3 set of new battery to no avail . return this for a refund . get the 88-key Wireless Multimedia Keyboard with Touchpad instead : http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/b003axxobg\/ref=oss_product +553 Keyboard POS 5 if you need a keyboard cover , just get this . definitely worth the money ... keep in mind its silicone so the typing feel weird\/slower but that come with the product . 5 star ! +973 Keyboard POS 5 I order this laptop case because I do not want to have to constantly zip my laptop into a case and take it out again , but do want to have the ability to slide it into my bookbag without worry that it would get all scratch up . this do just the trick ! and it come in really cute color . I have the darker of the blues and it be a really nice shade : -rrb- great product ! +138 Keyboard POS 5 I have be work in a office environment and use computer for 15 year and I can say that the Logitech Wave Keyboard k350 have to be one of the best innovation in computer accessory that have come along in quite some time . I have three 23 '' monitor to process the information that I use and this keyboard with its programmable function key allow I to fully utilize my computer and monitor to they fullest . I also use a Logitech Performance Mouse MX with the unifying software . use a single usb receiver for both keyboard and mouse have make the connect of my peripheral a snap not to mention that it free up usb port for other use . once again a great tool for those that process a large amount of information . the wave shape of the keyboard also help relive stress on you wrist as well . a great buy for the price . the Logitech family of accessory be , in my opinion one of the best add-on that you can use on you desk . +409 Keyboard POS 4 if you be familiar with use ergonomic keyboard , you 'll probably like this model . I have be use a contoured keyboard for about 4 year . even though it take a while to get use to the contour , I now have trouble go back to the old straight style . I also like the feel of the key since I be a heavy-handed typer . I be replace this keywboard with a new one because several of the key be break , which be part of why I downgrade the keyboard . I do not think the key should have break off so easily . another issue I have be that it be quite large and use a lot of desk space . this may be just a function of any contoured board , but I think a little engineering would result in a better design . +471 Keyboard POS 5 let 's be clear here : a product that cost as little as this one be not go to have all the bell and whistle of a more expensive keyboard cover . other reviewer have be fairly negative about it not show the keyboard lighting through . however , if you primary concern be prevent food , dust , or other particulate matter down into you expensive investment , this do the job just fine . it be 3 buck people ! come on ! +689 Keyboard NEU 3 my Targus Stowaway keyboard for Visor Deluxe seem to have die over the weekend after eighteen month . actually , it be a internal conflict within the Visor . I have add a jumper wire inside the Visor so I could charge from my hot synch . cradle after a corresponding modification to the cradle ... my stowaway keyboard work just like before after make this modification . then I download Targus ' lastest version of the driver for the keyboard . a couple of day later the keyboard be completely non-responsive . I have remove the jumper now . I later find the real problem be that my Visor be in its final stage of life . the keyboard do have a nasty habit of cease to communicate with my pda . by experimentation , I learn that a soft reset follow by a warm reset get it go again . the keyboard work well when it work , but too often it do not . again , this be probably more of a problem with the Visor than the keyboard . +982 Keyboard POS 5 great product that do exactly what it say ... protect you mac . fit snugly , easy to install , and the extra keypad protector be nice . Might be a little snug when install , but do not move or fall off . Great for $ 20 +896 Keyboard POS 5 the affectionalety nickname `` blue cube '' ps\/2 to usb active adapter be the best keyboard adapter for any computer without ps\/2 port . I have a Unicomp Customizer keyboard -lrb- a IBM Model m clone -rrb- . I recently buy a newer Amiga computer . that be right , I say Amiga . the sam460ex Amiga have no ps\/2 port , have only usb . I want to use the Unicomp customizer with the sam460ex . be a new model computer , the amigao driver support have not yet catch up with the hardware , with several user complain about keyboard and mouse problem whilst use the ehcus driver . while I have use the `` blue cube , '' I have have no keyboard problem even with beta version ehcus driver . it be the best ps\/2 keyboard to usb adapter available . I have only one disclaimer : this be a keyboard only adapter . as a keyboard adapter , it be the best ; however , it will not work with mouse . +63 Keyboard POS 5 I have be use my Logitech keyboard for the longest time but run into some software issue when I upgrade my computer -lrb- hmm , this may be due to operator error - perhaps not configure the keyboard correctly in the bio set -rrb- . I want a backup keyboard anyway . . a basic plug and play one . I like the key to have feedback ; hate use the one with the spongy , non-clicking button . this keytronic work just great . I have be use it for a year and it be hold up well , especially since I be on the computer a lot ! great keyboard and a fantastic price from amazon . +510 Keyboard POS 5 I love this keyboard i mean its cheaper than other gaming board and its really competitive , backlighting rock , i recomend this product . +615 Keyboard POS 5 we need a compact keyboard for a limited-width keyboard tray for we secondary pc we use mostly for pc gaming . it work great and give we the room we need to place we mouse on the keyboard tray as well , a welcome improvement ! the keyboard be similar to a smaller laptop keyboard but work beautifully for that which be be intend . +996 Keyboard POS 5 I love this product . make typing on the iPad so much easier . it be true that have it in portrait mode all the time be a little annoying and I wish the dock offer some kind of usb support but overall this be a great product . +531 Keyboard POS 5 I be a little apprehensive about buy such a product because of bulky , not nearly as pliable product I have use in the past . this be not only visually appealing , but very functional . I would recommend this product wholeheartedly . +277 Keyboard POS 4 I recently purchase a PowerMac g5 and want to keep the rather posh look Mac keyboard from get dusty , dirty or fill with the occasional cookie crumb . the Protouch XT be fairly overpriced but it do what it be suppose to . of course , dust will stick to the keyboard but it be \* suppose \* to prevent dirt and so on from get into the keyboard . it take some get use to : while the cover will suppress the usual keyboard noise -lrb- which be minimal to begin with -rrb- , you 'll have to get use to typing with a keyboard cover over you key . it seem more apparent with the numpad key . the cover do not get in the way of the usb port on the rear of the keyboard . it simply cover the top as describe . this have so far keep my keyboard dust free . I wash it on occasion with standard dishwashing soap and water . +536 Keyboard POS 5 very please with everything about keyboard and mouse . only thing miss be the back button on the mouse , which come in handy . no problem hook up , and be quiet and have a light touch . this be really a bargain , and I would highly recommend it . +752 Keyboard NEG 2 the mouse do not work well on most surface . unlike the usual laser mouse the mouse do not use the same laser mouse of the very resent past have . Logitech call it a `` performance laser '' its anything but when use anything but a perfect surface . I get a wireless mouse and keyboard so I can toss it around the living room and use my big screen as my monitor . . with this mouse I get frustrate with it not do as it should and what older mouse would do . to be more precise ... the now familiar red laser be not visible anymore . . and the hole for the tracker be not in the middle like standard mouse . . so you have to keep the right edge as close to the material you use to slide the mouse over ... if this be the future of the mouse ... I want the little ball in the middle back ... I can deal with clean out all the junk the ol ball and bar system accumulate but this new laser thing be a constant problem . . I also find myself hit the insert key when go for the backspace key ... Annoying ... I know you can fix that I think but Logitech do not make it a easy thing to do ... also the software take a very long time to load make I think Logitech be get a little to invasive when install . . +246 Keyboard POS 5 I usually type with 2 , sometimes 3 finger in each hand . I be still a fast typist -lrb- for a regular guy who have not take any course or anything ! -rrb- but this keyboard basically force I to stop look at my finger every two seconds , and type with the correct finger , without look ! it be also incredibly ergonomic and comfortable !! wrist pain instantly go ! the only problem be that now I simply can not stand regular keyboard , especially apple-style laptop keyboard !! some people mention a problem with the spacebar be hard to push at the right edge . this be true , and it be a BIG problem ... but I try the fix that someone post in one of the comment here on Amazon -lrb- take out the key and twist the metal bar by rotate both end in oppose direction on its axis -rrb- and now it work almost perfectly , so YES IT CAN be fixed ! everything else be amazing . buy this . I should have buy it sooner . my wrist be happy : -rrb- +688 Keyboard NEU 3 it work and be pretty much what they say , but it be a bit stiff . I would buy it again , but it work for what it be . go with a better silicon one . +506 Keyboard POS 5 I find it hard to go back to the mouse and keyboard thing . it be do it all . take a little time to get the hang of it but it really be ergonomically inspire and work in both horizontal and vertical position ... a laser pointer to boot ! recommend ! : d larameeee +398 Keyboard POS 5 this be one of the only device I own that have really change the way I go about my day . neither my cell phone , nor my Franklin Planner , nor my Palm v alone -lrb- which replace my Franklin Planner -rrb- have have this kind of impact . the design be a marvel : compact , elegant , and solid . they keyboard have a excellent responsive feel , better than many desktop keyboard . the shortcut be intuitive and work with all the standard Palm software and all of the third party software I own -lrb- in particular , Info Select -rrb- . this accessory empower the Palm V so completely that it should be try by every Palm owner . i purchase this product in a attempt to buy productivity . for once , it work . I can hardly believe that I use to carry my laptop to meeting in order to take \* note \* . +161 Keyboard POS 4 totally sweet . awesome range for not be bluetooth . would be perfect if it have a backlight , clickable mouse wheel and a scroll wheel . as it be , its still awesome . get lotsa compliment . work with vista . the shortcut work with itune . you get use to the mouse key location fairly quick . the page up and page down button on the left side help navigate page quicker . +947 Keyboard NEG 2 I love Logitech , and I hold they product to a higher standard than the rest . this one be well-designed , but it have a serious problem -lrb- for gamer , at least -rrb- . overall , this be a good , attractive board -- assume you do not get the problem I have . the board work most of the time , but randomly , sometimes a couple time a hour , the light will blink and it will turn itself off . then , even when the board become power again , it will not work . this be insanely annoying in FPS game , especially multiplayer one . I have make sure that this be not a issue with my computer itself . it be isolate to the keyboard . ignore that problem , the board be pretty good . it be comfortable , feel solid , and have lot of button -lrb- include 18 macro on the left side , very useful -rrb- . it be not ergonomic at all , but that be not a big issue for gamer . the key have smooth response with just the right amount of push force , and the board look good overall . it be not without its shortcoming . the lighting be somewhat uneven and sometimes look a bit cheap . if you have you keyboard right in front of you monitor -lrb- s -rrb- , the light key may be harder to see than normal white one . I really wish all the blue key be as bright as the yellow m1 key . the board include two usb port , but they be only usb 1.1 . it would be nice to plug mouse into they , since it would give a wire gamer more travel slack on the cord , but for I , I find it too risky to plug my mx-518 into it because of the risk of lose both my mouse and keyboard to the power loss . the lesson I learn ? fancy gimmick do not a gaming board make . light and fancy frill be a excuse to skimp on other , more important thing . +413 Keyboard POS 5 I love this keyboard ! I be replace a older Adesso ergonomic keyboard -lrb- Bondi blue , circa 1998 -rrb- , that still work perfectly , but I want the extra media key , etc. . I really want a washable keyboard , but can not find one for the Mac . I try a pc keyboard that be washable , but the backwards key drive I nut . everything on this keyboard work perfectly . all the extra key work , the programable key work , it be pretty quiet as far as I be concerned -lrb- other review have complain about all of these thing -rrb- , but I find no problem . if it last half as long as my other Adesso I will be thrill ! the driver install with no problem . identify the keyboard with no problem . I have no complaint , it be great . +457 Keyboard POS 4 have not use it yet but the feel and look of it look great . ca not wait to use it in class . +963 Keyboard NEU 3 this cover be not a great fit for my keyboard , but it do stay put once you have type on it a bit . it take awhile to get use to , but now that I be , it really have speed up my typing and protect my key from get dirty . it be easy to pop it off and clean it , but then of course it be weird to fit it back on . however , I try typing without it the other day , and it be a very odd feeling , so I guess I have get use to it . the main reason I feel it speed up typing be because you finger will not slide around the key , and with the extra friction you do not have to be as precise . the reason for my rating of 3 be that the blue be considerably lighter than it appear in this picture - much closer to sky blue than to true blue . I would have return it but do not want to deal with the hassle . +80 Keyboard POS 5 get it a few week ago . it work fine , no problem , nice button , ergonomic , useful function . linux -lrb- ubuntu -rrb- compatible . satisfied . +247 Keyboard POS 5 integrate flawlessly with my Verizon Fios HD DVR , Samsung DLP , and Pioneer Surround Sound System . I do not even need the extra ir blaster . Video on most web site , include nfl.com , work great . Youtube , Amazon Prime , and Netflix work great as well . replace 3 remote . keyboard be big but grow on you quickly . it be android with Chrome Internet Browser for you tv , can not wait for honeycomb and the Android Market . if the new update go smoothly , i might buy the camera and another setup for the inlaw that be in another state for the video conferencing . +326 Keyboard POS 5 the keyboard be well make , and the mouse be easy to use as well . very good product for the price ! +338 Keyboard NEU 3 my only concern with this product be that it be sometimes difficult to get it to link up to the ipad . it be nice if you use a keyboard alot because the keyboard close up and act as a shell for the ipad . I also purchase a leather cover , so I do not use this as a cover , only as a keyboard . +43 Keyboard POS 5 this little unit be a cracker . I be use it in my media room for which be be perfect . the key be a bit small , but that be really the point , with the unit be similar or smaller in size than the other remote . the self light keyboard be excellent , allow for the key to be see in the darkened room . I can absolutely recommend this anyone with a media pc . +728 Keyboard NEG 2 I be glad I take a while to write this review . when I get this product I be very satisfied with it be performance , it do not require any installation and work perfectly for almost 6 month . however , in the time I need they the most , the mouse and the keyboard stop work for no reason . I think it be time for battery replacement but nothing happen with the new battery . after many attempt to make they work I realize the receiver be damage , so even think the mouse and the keyboard be still in good condition , they be completely useless . so there it be , seem like a pretty good deal but be not so reliable . +556 Keyboard POS 4 this product it be just as advertise , very cheap and it do it job , just 2 con : key be opaque so you will have a considerable light reducction com from the keyboard , the feeling while typing will change , key feel harder to hit . +4 Keyboard POS 4 this be a terrific accessory for the original iPad if you find yourself typing to any extent on the iPad screen . the best addition ? Arrow key ! part of what make it so terrfic be that you can use in either portrait or landscape orientation . I have use the keyboard that allow only portrait and they be bad for email . it be a ok case , where you fold the stand element down and place the ipad screen-down into the unit . it be very secure and do not scratch the screen , it can be a little tricky to remove and I have be think about adhering a small tab of some kind to the edge of my ` pad to make it easier . I like this product so much I be buy one for my elder father . +921 Keyboard POS 4 I love the color ! the entire cover sit neatly on my keyboard , after the first day or two I get use to how it feel to the touch . the cover do not keep slip off , which I really like - it fit snugly over the key and stay put . it get the job do . +444 Keyboard NEU 3 as with every Logitech product , installation and ease of use be effortless . the revue be friendly and simple to unpack and install . once power up the UI clearly walk I through the set up , but even before power it up I feel I understand how to install it , and how to use it , even with a just a cursory read of the instruction manual . the product themselves be well build , but certainly not overbuilt . thoughtful placement of control and build material come through when the keyboard be in hand . with the one exception of the keyboard track pad . I find myself unable to break the habit of double tap to click , like on my laptop , but the keyboard do not allow this . hopefully the next gen will correct this . however , this be a odd marriage . the hardware be solid , but the concept itself - internet on you tv - be disappointingly awkward . to be clear , the UI be well do , but frankly I be not sure I want the internet on my tv , at least not in this form , after spend some time with it . I feel that I have the key to the future , and I be ready to receive something amazing eventually , but right now I do not know what do . I watch video , enjoy some nytime content , google a few hobby , but start to wonder what next and settle in to watch tv like I normally would -lrb- with my TiVo -rrb- . I keep think be careful what you ask for . in concept I want the WWW on tv , but when I get just that , all I see be WTWVW , and that do not make any sense to I at all . it be a first effort , and a good one , one that I be glad to have in preparation for the future , as it appear to be the panacea we all want , and when more content come available and in a format that be internet on you tv friendly , this will be the device you 'll want to engage it with . +981 Keyboard POS 5 in my as yet uncaffeinated state , I be sit at my keyboard shake my morning bottle of Frappucino . unfortunately , I have forget -lrb- axon and dendrite be not fully functional without caffeine -rrb- that I have already loosen the lid . so , there be that sticky liquid all over the keyboard - which then stick like , well , sticky coffeed key . this necessitate a new keyboard . I get this one and I be so happy that the Frappucino Fracas happen ! it just feel better and let I type better than the one that come with my cow -lrb- Gateway System . -rrb- my thanks to Starbucks and Billy Gates ! \/ TundraVision , Amazon Reviewer +354 Keyboard POS 5 after read all the review , I be afraid Googe tv would not be a good purchase . now that I have be use it for a few day , I think the people who give it less than 3 star either get a defective unit or they be employee of Apple , Roku , or some other competitor . I be use the Logitech revue with this config : Vizio HDTV HTMI Flat Panel 720p Pioneer AV Receiver AT&T; Uverse . I power on the revue , it download and install a update . no issue . the revue then ask for model number of my component , I enter they use the wireless keyboard and everything just work . the revue be silent ... no fan noise for I . Netflix be awesome . hd movie look amazing . way better than my uverse picture . no more watch movie on the laptop . surf the web be awesome . even site with flash work great . podcast be disappointing for I . I be use to download they to my iphone 4 where I can easily skip commercial . skip forward in streaming content require rebuffer . so , I 'll stick with the iPhone for podcast . the wireless keyboard be awesome . Controls my Pioneer volume , my AT&T; DVR just work . it be even beter than before since the revue resize the content to fit my tv better , the sound from the revue to my stereo sound great to I . my disappointment include : Wish there be more app . . but that be ok for now . not the reason I buy it . Wish it have more hdmus input to plug in my dvd and blue Ray player and a svga input for my ps2 . Hulu be block - they should be ashamed of themselves . I can view Hulu on the laptop next to my tv , but not on my tv . I will not be use hulu even if they work out a deal with google . I recommend everyone boycot hulu . no way to power off my tv from the remote . . what be they think ? Bottom Line if you do not already own a harmony remote , this purchase be a no brainer if you have a hdmus capable tv and internet . if you do have a harmany remote , you may want to wait for the price to drop a bit . but for the value ... I would go ahead and get it . it be hot ! Disclaimer : I have get no affiliation with Google , Logitech , Apple , Amazon , Roku , etc just a consumer whose really happy with this purchase . UPDATE : Nov 7 , 2010 - I be still really loving Google tv . find the Logitech Android app that use dlna to connect to window 7 . it allow I to listen to all my mp3 -lrb- and see album artwork -rrb- I buy for my iPhone , play video , and view my picture library on my tv ! I be play they wirelessly from a Windows 7 VM , to my stereo via this cool android app . Works well with AT&T; Uverse . I search for news . it find a station on AT&T; Uverse , it use the remote to type in the channel , and instantly I be watch news . so somehow it know the guide for uverse , and know how to control the uverse set top box to change channel for I . really nice . download the iphone app . with a single button press it turn on my tv , uverse box , and Stereo . it also have control for every option on my tv\/uverse\/stereo . the Harmony remote integration be really nice . the rf keyboard and wi-fi iphone app mean I dont have to position my box line-of-sight any more . I use to have problem switch channel with crappy ir remote . the Netflix app work really well . the only time I see buffer be on night when Netflix get overwhelm . a speed test from my Google TV Chrome browser get 10mb , the same thing my Mac Book pro get . so the revue wireless be work well with my Linksys router . ca not wait to see the new feature from the next on-air-update . this be go to get even better when Goggle update the Netflix Player , add more app , etc. . +899 Keyboard NEG 1 I choose this keyboard primarily because I have be use IBM\/Lenovo laptop for over 10 year , and the spring mechanism of this keyboard have a tactile feel very similar to these laptop . however , the similarity stop here . Lenovo keyboard be spill-resistant -lrb- some even have a fluid drain -rrb- , and be very easy to maintain . if any drink fall on the keyboard -lrb- which be unavoidable -rrb- , it be easy to remove the key and clean the spring , or even replace the mechanical key subsystem . in the case of this keyboard , by explicit admission of Logitech 's written support , it be very hard to remove key . should one key get slightly damage , replacement key be not available . as it happen , I do imperceptible damange one of the key and make the keyboard unusable . for $ 100 -lrb- a premium price for a commodity product -rrb- , I would expect a more maintainable product . overall , very disappointed . I will not probably buy more Logitech keyboard in the future . +490 Keyboard POS 5 this key board cover be great . fit perfectly and look great . really love the color ! the pink be so bright ! i receive this very promptly and 2 day before i expect it ! +179 Keyboard POS 5 I be use this cover as I write this and it be a great little addition to my Macbook . I be constantly have to vac my key . this keep hair , crumb , whatever from get into it . if you spill coffee onto the keyboard it might give you a few seconds to grab you Mac shake it off and maybe save you 1k . arrive flat , so no curl issue and it be fast shipping . soft , comfortable and I do not find it too bulky and it fit the Macbook , late 2010 model very well . I would buy this again and have think about get a extra , but it be actually pretty tough . I have have this about a month or so , and it be a keeper . +795 Keyboard POS 5 I be a student -lrb- a freshman -rrb- and find it very useful for take note and write papers instead of use the school computer I just type on it and beam it to one of the printer . it be full size and very comfortable the only thing be it be lightwieght construction and not sure how durable it be but I do not take those chance . it hold up well under my usage . +961 Keyboard POS 5 I have be use the Logitech Combo mk520 with keyboard and Laser Mouse for a while now , and the operation be so seamless that I generally forget I be operate wireless at all . I have always use wire keyboard and mouse , and of course find the wire restrict - especially when I need to access the rear panel of my pc for any reason . my one previous experiment with a wireless mouse be short-lived , communication be inconsistent and eventually the software\/device crash . no problem here . setup be very smooth . although some prior reviewer note the keyboard touch be either better or worse than they be use to , personally I do not see any difference . I do not use many of the special key or feature . as note by many other , the calculator key be most handy and welcome . the music related function of mute , volume , next\/prior track all operate perfectly . I understand that the f1 - f12 key can be program to perform different function , but frankly I be not that interested . I use this equipment on my home pc , and for my purpose the additional programming be unnecessary . mouse operation be identical to my prior wire mouse . scroll be smooth . I do have to get use to the fact that if I accidentally knock my mouse to the right , since it be not physically connect to anything , it will indeed crash to the floor . it be a bit alarming for the klutzy , especially that one time the case pop up . but it be not overly delicate , and pop the case back down result in no harm , no foul . overall , this be simply a outstanding product in my experience . if anything , I have experience fewer problem with the Logitech wireless combo than I previously have with hardwired keyboard or mouse equipment . +839 Keyboard NEG 2 it take a lot of time get use to typing wit this cover , and be not very comfortable . I have hear that there be ventilation issue use this . if I be you , I would purchase a keyboard wipe -lrb- or chamoix -rrb- and avoid use this . +663 Keyboard POS 5 the deal be pretty good and affordable . the keyboard and mouse be appeal . this be a first time I have purchase a wireless mouse and keyboard and already fall in love with it . +675 Keyboard POS 5 this simply the best key board I have purchase . and have red , blue and purple color be nice also . +167 Keyboard POS 5 I have a pain at dorsal part of my wrist and since Ihave start use this keyboard I have feel a important improvement . it be ver y confortable if you have to type a lot but it be not a perfect option if you have to use a mouce frecuently -lrb- to scroll through image or similar ... -rrb- because it be quite wide and you have to move the hand a bit far from body what can produce shoulder pain . in this condition should be perfect to have a option without right part -lrb- that one with the number -rrb- . +308 Keyboard POS 5 I just recently purchase a new Macbook and with it a Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Apple Bluetooth Magic Trackpad . I like to keep my nice thing look and work nice , so I order a Speck Hardcase for the Macbook and a keyboard cover . I want a cover for my bluetooth keyboard and this come up a the first listing . I have it a try , it be only a few $ $ . it fit the bluetooth keyboard perfectly . its snug enough that it wrap around the key . you can hold you keyboard upside down and shake it and these will not fall off . it be comfortable to type , not much more resistance than it be without it . the only negative be the silicon hang off the left and right side , but it be very minimal , only about a quarter inch on each side . its not enough to be bothersome , but I think I would mention . I do not know which model this be suppose to fit , but I can verify it do NOT fit 13inch Macbook White Polycarbonate Unibody -lrb- late 2009 and mid 2010 -rrb- model . +465 Keyboard POS 4 this be a really good product . it take my full-sized wireless mouse and keyboard and replace it with something that fit in the palm of my hand . I have have it for about a week and I have not have to charge it -lrb- except for the initial charge of course -rrb- . the button be a good size and be easy to use . on the negative side , it be not nearly as easy to type in large amount of text ... but it be a tiny keyboard , so that be somewhat expect . also , on occasion it will not transmit the key press or mouse movement . I sit about 15-16 ft. from my tv -lrb- and computer -rrb- , so that may have something to do with it . I have notice when I have the problem , if I move my finger off the front of the case , then the problem go away . I have not play around with it enough to confirm that the issue stem from that alone , but so far , it be look like that be the problem . the mouse pad be also very touchy . when I scroll across a screen , I might have to do multiple pass with my thumb . when I lift my thumb up and move back in the air , it tend to register the movement still if I be close to the pad , and then the mouse cursor end up go backwards a little way . I have determine if I just lift my thumb about 1\/2 a inch off the pad then this stop be a issue . basically , you just need to train yourself . all in all , I only take off 1 star for all of the issue above . honestly , it work perfectly 95 % of the time , and that be why it be one of my favorite new toy for the living room ! +272 Keyboard NEG 1 I tell Amazon I get wrong item but will try to make it work , after a dozen dvd 's and several ink cartridge use I do come up with a format that might work . Amazon do email and say they would give a 20 % discount for keep wrong item , I 'll see if I get it +121 Keyboard NEG 1 worst feel of any keyboard I have ever use . the keys\/buttons wobble and the plastic be so thin & flimsy the palm rest separate when typing . +181 Keyboard NEG 2 every app run slow . there be probably a 10 seconds delay on just about everything . Netflix constantly fail . web page constantly get the `` oh snap . . '' message and require a page reload . I also do not have a cable box -lrb- direct coax connect -rrb- which knock out a whole bunch of feature and integration with broadcast television . in its current state my wife and I will not even use it . all my other home network component work fine . Logitech seem to have give up on this device but I hope Google update it soon . +533 Keyboard NEG 1 I order this on April 24th 2010 and still do not recieve it !!! I would review it if I acually have the product but as yet I do not ! do not by from this guy !!! `` LION STRONG ship 1 day guarantee +631 Keyboard POS 5 this be a great cover i didnt think it would be because it be so cheap so i buy the iskin too but i like this one look better on my white macbook its so cute !!! love it !! +145 Keyboard POS 5 a solid , dependable keyboard . Easy to install - just plug it in . I do a lot of typing all day long and be able to do so more comfortably after switch to this keyboard from the standard rectangle style keyboard . +280 Keyboard POS 5 my girlfriend want this for she MacBook pro . she purchase a pink case on Amazon as well and I think she would like this one and she be be want a keyboard cover . as soon as she get it , she love right away . +696 Keyboard POS 5 I have be use this particular model of keyboard for awhile the reason I buy a new one be that my other one finally stop work after almost daily use for over 10 year . the keyboard outlast four different computer and 3 different operating system . I do not need or use the multimedia button you see on newer version of this type of keyboard because I do not use they anyway and there be less risk of press the wrong key . also with the include usb adapter I can use this keyboard with either PS\/2 or usb port on the computer offer more flexibility . I also like the heavier button and the distinctive click sound that be make when typing . computer user with big hand would like this keyboard because of the add support it provide especially if you type a lot . +250 Keyboard POS 5 Logitech Revue be possibly the most under-rated internet tv box out there . \* Easy to setup , take 15-20 minute . do not require any more hdmi\/optical port than you already have in you tv\/av receiver . \* bring internet connectivity to any tv with a hdmus input . surf the web , watch video , tune in to internet radio , etc. . \* Controls you tv , stb -lrb- I have DirecTV hr20 -rrb- , and AV Receiver seamlessly , just like a Harmony remote . a IR blaster be include so you do not have to point the keyboard controller at the box all the time . \* iphone\/android app as a second remote be available -lrb- free -rrb- for you mobile phone . hopefully they will make a ipad specific version soon . \* include keyboard be great with built-in touchpad . and it include a unifying receiver if you prefer to add a logitech wireless mouse . \* now watch thousand of tv show and movie with Amazon instant streaming for free if you have Amazon Prime ! Picture quality be great and Amazon 's free streaming collection be grow fast ! \* hookup you Logitech webcam for Video chat via the usb port . \* best of all , with a new Google tv software update -lrb- hopefully soon -rrb- you will have the new Android OS and app market available to you . the only problem with this box be that it be too expensive . but now at $ 99 with the new price-drop , it be a steal ! do not wait , this will sell out soon at this price -lrb- already backorder at Bestbuy -rrb- . +455 Keyboard POS 5 everything about this keyboard and mouse combination be great . it be really easy to install . all i have to do be take out the plastic that activate the battery and plug in the usb and it install itself . within a minute it be work and i be go . reception be great . the sleep function on it work great . it be impossible to detect that the keyboard and\/or mouse be sleep prior to begin to use it . the laser mouse be very accurate and the build in palm rest be convenient and comfortable . also , the keyboard be power by two double a battery and the mouse by one aa battery . these be just normal one not expensive one , so potential buyer should be happy that $ 2 battery will power you purchase for another year or two . I would definitely buy this again -lrb- for other computer -rrb- . +423 Keyboard POS 5 awesome , Works great . Easy to use . I have have no problem . it have work every time I need it to . love the back light , and 90 degree flip option . my friend just buy one after playin ' with mine . biggest complaint - you have to push the fn button for media control - sound , play , rec , fwr , rev , etc. . I want one finger access for these media control . I also have the Logitech DiNovo Mini and I often waver between the two . DiNovo fail often ! but DiNovo have better control . if the rius minus control have a Windows media center button , on-off for t.v. , and no fn for media . I would gladly pay $ 150 or more . when will a company realize that we computer be become a media center and we want remote with mouse capability and key board option , but control T.V. , Stereo , ETC. . . ? they have this for google t.v. but can not be adapt . AMAZON : what my free prize for write this review and help sell product ? how about a cut on shipping cost ?!!! LOL . +442 Keyboard POS 5 First off , I want to say that Razer do a amazing job with this keyboard . everything with the keyboard be almost flawless . the only thing that I \* sort of \* dislike be the gloss finish around the body . it attract dust and finger print but I do not really mind they that much as I usually play in the dark . pro : on the fly macro recording . its simply amazing . fn + G. hit a key to record it to . type what you want to record . fn + G. and its save . you can also use the software from Razer 's website to record macro 's and set the delay between keystroke . one really great thing be that the computer recognize the macro as individual action instead of a program interfere with you game ; this mean that you macro be undetectable in game and can be use in secure server such as vac and gamehack . Cherry MX Blue key switch . feel like sex when you finger hit one of these bad boy . there nothing else to say . simply amazing to type on . adjustable back-lighting : you can adjust the brightness of the key to whatever you want . you can even turn they off or set they to glow -lrb- although really annoying -rrb- . no more sore eye from you glaring keyboard . back-lit key : I can play in the dark ... SWEET ! laser-etched key : unlike the regular version , this keyboard have laser etch key mean that they do not wear out . well they do , but unlike other key , they will wear out at the same rate as you overall key . this mean that you will never lose sight of the character on you key until it snap in half . mechanical : this keyboard may be the last keyboard you ever have . just like any other mechanical keyboard with Cherry key on it , its rate for over 50 million key-stroke . compare 50 million to a conventional rubber or membrane base keyboard that usually have a maximum of 10 million -lrb- on a really good day . its usually around 5 million -rrb- . typing : you will enjoy typing , just as I be enjoy typing this review . some may claim that it will raise you word per minute but I think its largely situational . many people , like I , will simply enjoy typing on this keyboard . as we log more hour on it -lrb- because we enjoy it -rrb- , we 'll become faster at typing . aside from that , I do think that right off the bat this keyboard do increase you typing speed a bit . I switch from a membrane keyboard and use to type at about 80 wpm . when I switch to the Blackwidow Ultimate I start typing at around 90 wpm . now I be up around 100 wpm . Media Keys : Great for when you be gaming because you do not need to tab out of the game . quick note though . the media key will not work for iTunes . the way you can fix that be by search in Google : `` razer blackwidow itune support '' . click on the first link which should take you to razer support . from there they will direct you to a website which will show you how to slightly modify you iTunes so that it will work with you keyboard . this problem do not only occur with the Blackwidow . the procedure take about 2 minute , 5 minute if you be retard . all it require be you to download a small file , create a folder , and drop the file in . construction : key be mount on a metal plate . all the wire be glue twice , then tie to the inside for maximum security . come out the keyboard be a 1\/4th inch braid cable contain the usb pass through , keyboard usb , audio pass through , and microphone pass through . the cable be plenty long so do not be worry about reach the back of you computer unless its in a different room . the keyboard be pretty heavy and have good traction . even on my slippery desk the keyboard refuse to budge without considerable effort . overall : I love this keyboard . there not much else I can say . +356 Keyboard POS 4 I buy this keyboard to use with my 3rd gen Macbook . I be able to use it right out of the box without any installation issue whatsoever ; although a popup notification appear at startup say that my os be unable to recognize the keyboard , I close the window and proceed to use the keyboard with no problem . most of the standard mac keyboard command be still available here , which be nice . I have not be able to make some of the keyboard 's own shortcut compatible with the Mac OS -lrb- such as the homepage , email , and chat function key -rrb- as well as the home , end and number lock key , but that be a trivial issue that do not get in the way of general usability . overall as a Mac user , I be please with this keyboard . +194 Keyboard POS 5 if you guess `` review the Logitech Revue , on my tv , use my Logitech Revue '' you be absolutely correct ! this thing be , in a word , fantastic . Bear in mind , the current price be down to $ 99 . I can understand some of the bad review , for $ 300 , I could just buy another cpu , or a mini nettop pc , and use that , and have a lot more familiar option . this price , however , be more than fair . it do a good job with Netflix . I like the interface on my xbox360 , but switch the composite cable back and forth between the stereo speaker to watch a movie , and my game chair to play game be just a friggin hassle . another good thing be it do not make noise while I be browse movie . the xbox make a `` boop '' sound every time you press a direction , and it get annoying . I give it five star for everything except ease of use , which get four star , because , while they make everything as user-friendly as possible , it still have a considerable learning curve . I have not try the mini-keyboard -lrb- wait for the $ 150 price to drop -rrb- but I may just stick with the full size that come with it . this be quite easy to type on . Logitech really know keyboard . it be a helluva lot easier to type on than the laptop I have be use lately . overall , this be one of those thing where I can see myself six month from now , wonder how I ever live without it . +825 Keyboard POS 5 I get this for my mac as i be obsess with the apple keyboard and think i would get it sometime later and could get a mock up version ... the adv be this be exactly same as the mac keyboard , i mean completely ... i change the setting on the mac to give the alt button as the command button as it be near the space bar ... now this be damn awesome ... drawback be that , the num lock do not work ... but i do not need it anyways ... if u want a cheap keyboard either for window or mac ... go for it with you eye close ! +169 Keyboard NEU 3 I only use ergo keyboard . ca not use flat one , since my forearm go numb within a half hour . I buy the m natural Ergo 4000 kb to replace a aging ps2 no-name kb . I really do not need to , my finger fly on the old kb , but want usb and want a bit quieter key . my typical go-to company for accessory like these be Logitech -lrb- just do not order direct from Logitech ... go Amazon every time -rrb- . however since Logitech do not have ergo keyboard -lrb- no. . . they do not have ergo keyboard ... the wave crap be just a wavy non-ergo kb ... I repeat Logitech do NOT have ergo kb -rrb- ... hmmm where be I ? I digress . oh yeah ... since Logitech do not have ergo kb , the Microsoft Ergo 4000 seem to be the most popular one . Thought I would give it a try . quick summary ... I be go back to my old ps2 no-name kb . here be my observation on the m Ergo 4000 . pro this kb be very quiet , which I have come to like . it also have very nice function button that you can use to launch a browser , calculator , zoom in and out , and do other function . it be black , so show less finger grime , and I like the cushion wrist pad . the bottom of the kb elevate for proper typing posture -lrb- I still can not fathom why anyone elevate the back of a kb !!! -rrb- , and the split in the key be very comfortable for I . con -lrb- for I , unfortunately they outweigh the pro -rrb- \* this be a non-gaming kb . now I do not need a specific `` gaming kb '' to play game , but I do need to be able to press more than 2 or 3 key simultaneously . with my old ps2 no-namer , I could do that . however , with the m Ergo 4000 I can not . for example , I crouch -lrb- ctrl -rrb- and move forward -lrb- up arrow -rrb- . if I try to move diagonally forward while crouching -lrb- ctrl , up arrow , LEFT or right arrow -rrb- , it will not work . I just keep move forward . I can crouch and move a single direction , but I can not crouch and move diagonally because that involve 3 simultaneous key press , which the m Ergo 4000 do not support . \* hate the main ENTER key . my ps2 no-name kb have a large reverse-l-shaped enter key . I can smack that thing when I be typing or gaming ... can not miss it . I type very fast too . the ENTER key on the m Ergo 4000 be a small horizontal bar , not a larger reverse-l-shaped key . the backslash key be directly above the ENTER key . I would say 50 % of the time I hit the backslash when try to hit ENTER . in 2 month of use with the m Ergo 4000 , I can not overcome the smaller enter key . it be even worse with game , where I need quick access to the ENTER key . half the time I miss it or I hit multiple key . \* on my ps2 old kb , the backslash be under the ENTER key , and I use that key for game function -lrb- I game with mouse and arrow key , not with WASD key -rrb- . I find the backslash key on the m Ergo 4000 to be place in a inconvenient spot . this be more of a niggling issue , as most kb have the backslash above the ENTER key , but I like my old kb 's placement of it under the ENTER key . \* the space bar on the m Ergo 4000 be generally okay if hit near the middle area , but toward the outer edge it stick and will not press . this be not a issue while typing for I , since my thumb hit it just right of center . however for gaming , my left pinkie finger hit it near the right edge . maybe 20-30 % of the time it catch and will not press when I hit it during a game . \* the esc key on the m Ergo 4000 be just below the browser launch button . with my older kb I can hit esc without look at it . in fact , I be very attuned to the key placement on my older kb , and can hit just about any key anytime without look . with the m Ergo , I hit the browser launch button about 40-50 % of the time unless I be look for the key with my eye . that be about it . it be a decent kb , comfortable , split very well , and quiet key . however , I can not overcome the smaller enter key and the lack of multiple simultaneous key press for my gaming activity . I have go back to my older ps2 kb , and will probably stick with it until computer no longer have ps2 port ... then I 'll get one of those more pricey ps2 to usb adapter . unfortunately , no one make a ergo split kb for gaming specifically that I can find . at least one that meet my criterion for gaming , enter key , etc. . would love to see Logitech make a split ergo kb -lrb- again , that wave stuff be not ergo -rrb- , but company really be not too concerned about make really reliable , good ergo split design . the m Ergo 4000 be a exception , and it be a good kb , but just do not fit my need . if they redesign with the larger enter key , and maybe 4-5 simultaneous key press support or better , it might be the perfect kb . until then , I 'll stick with my try and true . +451 Keyboard NEG 1 do not buy this i have it for a hour and the delete key stoppp work i get it cuz it be one of the top selling keyboard on amazon but it suck ass +97 Keyboard POS 5 this converter work great but with caveat . specifically , if older -lrb- 1994 and older -rrb- mouse driver be use the mouse input will be erratic and after a few minute to several hour of inactivity , the usb port on the computer will think nothing be connect and shut down . to reactivate , the usb plug must be remove and reinsert . the solution be to update the mouse driver to current , proper driver that be usb aware . I use these adaptor on kvm for computer that run continuously . before update the mouse driver , the mouse movement be erratic . since update the mouse driver the converter have perform flawlessly . +790 Keyboard POS 4 I recently purchase this mk320 wireless keyboard and mouse from Amazon . both be work great and catch the signal from good distance . I try from 5 foot and it be work fine . I would say consider this price -lrb- $ 25 -rrb- , this iteam be worth by . +793 Keyboard POS 5 we use this for we linux base dvr system we build and absolutely love it . we have be fight with a normal size keyboard and mouse for year that the range on it be terrible . sometimes we would have to be right up to the area where the emitter be for it to work . this thing be nothing like that . it have a great range , great battery life , great feature . you can turn it off when not in use . the touch pad be small but definitely get the job do . it be a perfect size for sit on you desk or end table to easily control a computer from afar . nice and easy to type on too . pro : - Perfect small size - great range - on\/off switch - rechargable - long battery life - Works with Linux - include specialty and function key - backlight ! con : - none so far ! +114 Keyboard POS 5 este teclado logitech lo recomiendo , e excelente tiene gran alcance , teclas configurables al igual que el mouse , son liviano . El mouse se puede llevar a toda parte gracia a que tiene un compartimiento para el receptor usb -lrb- donde van las pilas -rrb- . +907 Keyboard POS 4 good product , fast shipping , exactly as describe . the only thing that would have make this a 5 \* rating be if they would have ship instruction on how to replace . instead of take the entire laptop appart , I really only need to take out 4 screw ... but , lesson learn ... thanks . +614 Keyboard POS 5 I recently purchase the Logitech Revue , and I love it . it let 's I play video from the web , have Netflix , Hulu and YouTube connection biult-in , and let 's I stream video from my home network . I think it be a steal for $ 99 . +382 Keyboard POS 4 this be a deluxe keyboard if ever I see one . the backlight be cool , they dim after you touch a key for a while . the whole thing be smooth -lrb- no sharp edge -rrb- . its very thin and sleek . the only part I do not like be the price ... +579 Keyboard POS 5 I have be use a Microsoft Natural keyboard for many year , start with they very first model . a friend give I a first generation Mac Mini , complete with Mac keyboard , and while I love the Mini the keyboard drive I nut . I need to find a fairly compact ergonomic keyboard , due to desk space constraint , and this be what I find . I could type all day on it -lrb- at 110wpm -rrb- with no problem at all . it work perfectly with my Mac . I just wish it be a usb keyboard rather than my have to use a PS\/2 - -rrb- usb adapter , but that be a minor quibble . it be a great keyboard and definitely recommend for anyone who type fast and type a lot . +392 Keyboard POS 5 the product work well but not so in love with the industrial design compare to higher end Logitech gaming product . +152 Keyboard NEG 1 please do not buy this for the case . keyboard be great , but there be nothing to secure the IPAD . I have have 4 employee IPAD 's slip out of this case . spend the extra money and get something better . pay for a better case or for a crack IPAD screen which be not cover by Apple 's warranty . AMAZON should stop sell this case . I know have to tell people they will have to pay for repair to they IPAD 's . to bad the bluetooth kyeboard work great . +81 Keyboard POS 4 once you use a color backlighted keyboard you 'll never like any other . if you like to be online in a dark room , it be the best ! the Saitek Eclipse keyboard be durable , survive multiple drop onto hard floor . but the key can become blur as paint wear off . also , the Zippy backlit offer more color combination , more control and be prettier . the Zippy be shiny , piano black with flatter , quieter , more responsive key . the Zippy be more compact , which not everyone will want , but which better suit I . compare for value and feature . I have own 3 Saiteks , but love the Zippy more . zippy bl-741 usb V. 2.0 512 Color Gradation Illuminated Backlight Keyboard be available on Amazon for $ 44.99 + $ 5.99 shipping . +874 Keyboard POS 5 I have have this keyboard for about 7 month now , and it have be wonderful . I use it along with my Arch Touch mouse from Microsoft , and it make a great combo . it be smaller than most keyboard , but they do not change the keyboard size . it be actually quite comfortable to use compare to a standard flat keyboard . I have not have to change the battery in the 7 month that I have own it and it be still go strong . the key be quick and responsive , and it clean easy with a slightly damp towel . it would be nice if the receiver could be use with the Arch Touch mouse instead of need a receiver for each , but since most computer now have so many usb port , it be hardly a issue . +545 Keyboard POS 5 one word to say , , good keyboard , pro : nice sexy led light feel kool good night light con it be not really bright led cover the background , not the number or letter so expensive buy it , , , recommend +72 Keyboard NEG 1 I have own one of these keyboard a few year ago and the key start go bad . the price convinced I to order another , even though so many here say negative thing about it . Suffice to say , it show up , I plug it in , almost half of the key do not work , right out of the box . send it back , lesson learn and order a Logitech Illuminated keyboard . Buyer beware on this Microsoft keyboard , they must have spill coffee on the circuit board plan . +672 Keyboard POS 4 this keyboard be pretty cool for how cheap it be , but whenever I start typing fast , it seem to miss the first letter . as per the review that say it go to sleep after about ten seconds of innactivity , this be only true if you be use a mobile device like a ipad or cell phone . First of all , it be not ten seconds , it be more like twenty , and in my experience , if someone be use it that infrequently , they may as well be use the on-screen keyboard . this problem do not affect people use it with a computer . +620 Keyboard POS 4 I buy this as a backup to my wireless keyboard . I do not want another old keyboard clutter my limited workspace , and this fit the bill . it always work when I need it , and when I do not ; I just roll it up and shove in the back of a desk drawer . +836 Keyboard NEU 3 the mouse be rather lousy , and chew through battery really fast . the mouse be so bad I end up buy a different wireless point device . +307 Keyboard POS 5 the Saitek eclipse ii be a wonderful keyboard in use both day and night . of course , one get it for it be light capability and in this case it excel quite nicely ! I have no idea what some of the earlier review be talk about when they say it be not bright enough ... be you kid I ??? how bright do you need it ? Red and Purple be more than adequate and blue be slightly lower in brightness quality ; however not enough to diminish it be effectiveness . very quick and springy keyboard touch ; have increase my wpm dramatically ! I like it be simplicity and I be quite glad it be not clutter up with the unnecessary key and shortcut tab of other keyboard . only minor annoyance be that the key be slightly smaller and closer together than a standard keyboard , but I get use it it right away ... quite frankly , I do not think you can go wrong with this keyboard and would get it again . +507 Keyboard POS 4 I have own this keyboard for about 6 month and I still like it . I be a hardcore gamer , and be initially attract to this keyboard because I frequently find myself typing in dim lighting while gaming . I also like the fact that the red backlighting led match the led on my tower . the three color you can change to have vary degree of intensity , beyond the dimmer switch . the purple be very bright , while the blue be a lot lower . Red be right in the middle , which I find perfect . it perform as well as any keyboard I have use in term of feel and keyboard over all quality . the one downside be that the silver frame of the keyboard start to ` wipe ' off after about a month . three of my finger consistently rest on my `` w a d '' key with my thumb near the spacebar , and I find that where my pinkie finger and thumb touch the outside silver frame , the color have kind of wipe away . this leave 2 widen spot of gray plastic along the edge of my silver keyboard . I be suprised that the plastic isnt simply silver rather than paint silver in anticipation of this . ultimately I be look for a new keyboard , though I have no serious issue with this one beyond aesthetics . I think that it be a very good product , but hardcore gamer should look elsewhere , for macro key and all the other knick-knack that ` gaming ' keyboard offer . too bad none of the curent good one have red led lighting to match my tower : p +31 Keyboard NEU 3 the keyboard be tiny but ok . Black be hard to see when the lighting be low at night . my own fault not check it out enough . +36 Keyboard POS 4 fine keyboard its just that the letter fade and need a new one the old one but it still work and will use on another computer and add the fade letter back later . +243 Keyboard NEG 1 I really want to like this keyboard\/mouse combo . the keyboard look slick and have many button that you can program so that you can get to a folder or a website or whatever at a click of a button . the mouse , although a little heavy and clunky be nice and responsive and also have a number of different button and feature . however , all these non-essential bell and whistle can not hide the fact that the product as a whole be a big let down . at random time , the keyboard either shut down or there be tremendous lag response between hit the key and get a response -lrb- I be talk 10-15 seconds ... or sometimes no response at all -rrb- . for gaming purpose , it be a huge frustration and disadvantage to have you keystroke fail to register during random unexplainable time . for business purpose , the constant intermittent lag be frustrating and disruptive to the think process as these shortcoming will inevitably draw youur attention and focus away from you actual work . I experience these problem right out of the box . I even install brand new battery into both the keyboard and mouse and the problem in responsiveness be noticeable almost immediately . I do some search on the web for a fix to the problem , and while other have complain about similar issue , I have not see a responsive solution from Logitech or the forum . thus , I have a keyboard that take away my enjoyment of game , frustrate my work product , and appear to have no easy fix solution . if I could rate this less than one star , I would . for I , this k350 Keyboard\/Mouse Combo product be junk . the experience have be a complete waste of my time and money and I suspect that even though I uninstall the keyboard software that come with the product , there be still some residue somewhere taint my computer . +421 Keyboard POS 4 I drop the cash on this expect just a average product , or just a cheap knockoff of the much more fancy $ 30 cover from the iSkin website . I be pleasantly surprise when I open the package and stick it on , and find that it just happen to be pretty dang snazzy . it look good , feel good , and fit really well . the key line up perfectly , none of that awkward double character effect . the backlighting be subdue a lot , but not so much that it be render useless or anything . as far as typing go , it feel natural . it take about 2 minute to get use to it , then the `` this be weird '' effect wear off . not to mention , this cover just make any typing SO SO comfortable ! the post do say high grade silicone , and they deliver on that ! overall : Worth the money , but I would caution buyer about the packaging when ship . seriously ? a envelope ? I pay $ 4.95 to have this ship , and it come to I in a old brown envelope . the product be fine , but there be much that could have go wrong . beyond that however , I highly recommend this product , it will extend the life of you mac at least 5 fold . +228 Keyboard NEG 2 this be just about the coolest little keyboard you can find . it be light , portable , and it respond as well as a normal keyboard . the one downside , which I recently discover , be that it will not work with the newer class of Palm Devices , explain why it be so inexpensive now . when I first purchase a keyboard , it be to go along with a Zire 71 handheld . that handheld die , force I to upgrade to the newer Zire 72 . much to my surprise , Palm change the connection for they PDA 's , render the wonderful little typing device useless . so , if you be use one of the older model that it can work with , I would certainly say that it be a good buy . but , I would not count on it to last you for generation of Palm device to come . +861 Keyboard POS 5 want to replace the beat-up old ps\/2 keyboard I keep on hand for work with older system . this new one look sleek , work well and the key be actually quieter than my Logitech Wave . it be very light and do not feel heavy duty , but I have have no problem with it . the form factor be nice and compact for be a full size keyboard . I like that there be no silly extra shortcut key . all in all , great keyboard for the price and function . +159 Keyboard POS 5 I get this so I would not have to use the lame arrow key to type on my TiVo Premiere . this doe not come with a usb dongle . I buy a cheap one from best buy , plug it in and I be initially disappoint . it be not really responsive and have a range of about three foot . then I use a usb extension cable to move the dongle out from behind the TiVo . that do the trick . it work perfectly and make typing on my TiVo really easy . +512 Keyboard POS 5 my friend have the original version of this keyboard and after use it for a few day , I fall in love with it . this be the absolutely best keyboard I have ever type on . the key strike smoothly but give enough resistance that you can be sure you hit the key . I be also a Linux user , so even after use it for only a short time , I know this be the perfect keyboard for editing in Vi -lrb- a text editor -rrb- . the two usb port on it be a real convenience to use other device . my only gripe with it , be that the usb port be NOT usb 2.0 compliant , so they will not work with power device such as a external cd-rom drive , or hard drive . other than that , the keyboard be really easy to use , and a great investment . I look forward to many year use this keyboard . note about seller user SIDE : I screw up my first seller feedback , and Amazon will not let you edit seller feedback , so I will leave it here . I give USER SIDE a 5 out of 5 rating for they fast shipping . package be estimate to arrive in October , but come about two week early . I have a issue with the usb port , but it turn out to be my own dumb error . call user SIDE customer support and they inform I that the dip switch in the keyboard be set to have the usb downstream port on by default . I mess that up . Service rep be very friendly , and very helpful . I would definitely buy from USER SIDE again when I need another happy hacking keyboard Lite 2 . I hope they never stop sell they . +863 Keyboard POS 5 this be a great way to keep my laptop clean and protect it . people see it all the time and be shock at how they can not even tell it be there ! +331 Keyboard POS 4 when I find out my friend spill a drink on she laptop and ruin it , I purchase one of these . very light and it fit the key so well I do not even notice it anymore . only problem be it do not cover the speaker portion on my Macbook on the right and leave side of the keyboard . other than that , it fit and cover the keyboard completely and the price be great ! +597 Keyboard POS 5 I do not expect to be impress by this little gizmo but I be blow away when I take it out of the box . it be about the size of the Journada when fold and then unfold to a very useable keyboard . the position of some of the key - like the backspace key - need get use to and one can not use the control key for the same sort of funtion as with a regular keyboard -lrb- as for bold and underline -rrb- but it be fantastic when one have a great deal of datum to type in and a laptop be not available for typing and then synch . I sure as heck do not really need one but , now that I have one , I use my pocket pc at work more since I can keep it set up to make note to myself . +667 Keyboard NEG 1 do not , under any circumstance , buy this keyboard . the keyboard itself be beautiful , but the software\/driver support be horrible\/non-existent . +65 Keyboard POS 5 I purchase this Logitech keyboard when my Microsoft keyboard be useless . very happy with the quality . do not buy any skin as it be cheap and buy the same one again when it will get dust . +480 Keyboard POS 5 pro well make good Range and Battery Life Syncs with Studio one 19 and XPS one without dongle nice volume rotary control con none FYI this do not use bluetooth - it use the include IR transmitter +445 Keyboard NEU 3 do not pay much so i guess i can not expect much ... Main problem : - battery usage be terrible . my Apple trackpad which be use everyday last for week on a full charge of 2 aa battery eventho it be never turn OFF !! ... this keyboard , if leave ON will drain the battery in a few day ... regardless if it be use or not !! - rarely , but sometimes the keyboard key get stick ... not physically though so there be just repeat character tuuuuuuurn up on my screen ... - i wish it have a esc button versus otherwise : - Pairs properly between a MacBook & iPhone ... but i have to enter a new pairing key w \/ my MacBook almost every time ... this could be due to OSX Lion tho ... ?? Quality be not the greatest ... but it be a cheap price too ... lf the key do not stick & battery last longer for the same price . . i would be happy . if the manufacturer would like to send I a new one , i would be happy to see if it be any better & do another review ... +460 Keyboard NEG 2 I buy this keyboard as a replacement for the m elite model , expect to make heavy use of the macro key . but it turn out that the pro be not a worthwhile replacement for several reason , and in fact I could not even stand it long enough to bother reprogram the macro key . the most important problem to I be the feel of the keyboard . I think m must have do something to cut they cost , and quality , because this thing feel nothing like the comfortable elite . I must say I be very disappointed . the elite be quiet and extremely solid , but the pro feel hollow and flimsy , as if be have the gut of a keyboard . but there be other less-important annoyance too . the pro have a full-sized set of arrow key , but I usually use the numeric pad with numlock off anway -lrb- so I can immediately touch Home , End , enter , in , Del , etc. -rrb- , so that be just farther for my arm to travel between the keypad , mouse , and home row . finally , the pro 's footprint be huge . I can not stress that enough ! I even have a giant desktop , and this thing be still a pain to reach around just to use my mouse or draw tablet . the elite have a tiny footprint , and I never even realize how nice that be until I lose it . I have try out \* lot \* of ergonomic keyboard in my time , but the m elite be still the best by far . so I would say to save some money , and get a better keyboard too . +561 Keyboard NEG 1 almost all of my key do not work . if i want to keep it then he will take 5o % off that be it . +681 Keyboard POS 5 some purist would not like to use a keyboard with they iPad , however this be helpful when do lot of write like I do , I like the compact design and it be convienient to safetly pop ipad and zag mate into you handbag . it be a little bit like have a mini laptop but more versatile . I have have no problem it be quite stable too . +320 Keyboard POS 4 I get this a few week ago and I have to say I love it more and more all the time . I really like how it integrate with my Dish Network DVR . I be look forward to even stronger collaboration between dvr box and Google tv in the future . the integration allow search for content in my dvr and the programming guide . I also love the way the Revue have become we single interface to the tv . my wife be absolutely non-technical but she find this remote\/keyboard very easy to use because she simply search for the programming she want and there it be . no more remember which television station or channel number , etc. . one of the real pleasure be the ability to pull in content from the internet like YouTube and various podcast -lrb- audio podcast and also video podcast -rrb- that we like to watch and\/or listen to . accord to the news January -lrb- better say 1st quarter 2011 -rrb- promise more application that will most likely marry web content and television content on one screen . it come with a Netflix application , Amazon Video on demand , YouTube , Pandora , Twitter and several other . all of these application work well enough now but will surely get improvement as feedback from real user come in . Logitech also make a application that turn my android phone into a remote control for Google tv -lrb- there be a app for the iPhone as well -rrb- . I be a very enthusiastic Google tv consumer . I just wish the tv network would stop block Google TV . what I can not watch on Google TV I pick up my laptop and watch it there . it be the same website and I use the Chrome browser for Windows . it be crazy that the network and Hulu be block content from one internet device but not another . I connect the Google tv box to the internet via my home wireless network and everything be good . however when streaming movie from Netflix or Amazon I have to be careful about use other wireless device in the house as there be only so much wireless bandwidth and streaming movie need LOTS of wireless bandwidth to have a smooth picture experience . if you have a wire ethernet jack near you tv you may be better off use it or just watch how you use the internet on you other device like smartphone and laptop when you be streaming movie from Netflix or Amazon . the video and audio may halt as the device buffer more content from the source . +952 Keyboard POS 5 very comfortable , I be still use to the traditional layout , so I be still get use to typing . I have to relearn where the key be , but otherwise , I love it ! +918 Keyboard NEG 2 Quality of the build be good . however nothing line up . hole for rear camera be too small so you have blackness in you pic no matter how you move the case . front camera and light sensor hole be not correct . front camera can not even be use when case be install . keyboard be loose . finally velcro for hold in the tablet . terrible quality and do not effective do anything . +789 Keyboard NEG 1 it be a great keyboard , but there be no driver for os x user . the keyboard will work on you mac , but you will not be able to access\/assign any of the customizable button . many of the button have no default function for os x , so they do nothing . I have contact customer support to address the issue , but never get a answer to whether or not a driver be come in the future . on the plus side , if you run window through bootcamp on you mac , the keyboard work flawlessly . +373 Keyboard POS 5 the Asus Transformer Case and Cover be very sleek and soft . it complete the transformer combo create a stylish look . +548 Keyboard POS 5 I purchase 5 of these cover to protect my MacBooks . I teach adult and the cool color grab they attention immediately . the combination of the cover and keyboard skin be a great way for I to protect future client from the spread of bacterium . the skin and cover come right off and can easily be disinfect . the price be very reasonable . +959 Keyboard POS 4 I want this to be my favorite minus keyboard sooooo badly , but it just barely fall short . the design be great , it be just the right size . the trackpad be not perfect and you finger do not slide around it very smoothly , but it work good enough . the backlight be a really nice touch and the battery life be pretty decent . I get about two-three week of nightly use out of it before I have to charge it again . only problem be , the radio in the keyboard be really weak . I sit no more than 10 foot away from the laptop I be control with this keyboard , and if I so much as look at the keyboard wrong , the signal be not receive . if I cover up the back of the keyboard with my hand , the signal be not receive . if the blanket be between the keyboard and the receiver , the signal be not receive . hopefully you be get the picture by now . long story short , this keyboard be great in every way except for one , reception . I still recommend this keyboard because 's it be so awesome , just keep in mind that if there be anything in between you and the receiver , or you sit more than 15 foot away , prepare for sporadic connection problem . +930 Keyboard POS 5 I receive this today in the mail and start use it as soon as I open the box . it require 2 AAA Batteries so if you do not want to be replace the battery every so often I would recommend buy some rechargeable one . now for the main review ... \* the keybaord be very slim and it have a nice look to it . it really do look like a original Apple Keyboard except the material be different . \* if you dont use it for a certain amount of time the keyboard automatically stop work with the device until you press a button on the keyboard . this be very convincent in order to save battery life . \* it have numerous button the control feature such as the brightness of the screen of the device and the volume of the device . this be also very convinient instead of go into you setting to change something like that . \* I be a pretty fast typer and there be no lag what so ever on this keyboard . I have have other keyboard before in which I experience lag , but not in this one . overall this be a really great keyboard that I recommend for all of you that want to type faster than use you touch keyboard . I rate this product 5 star out of 5 star ! no bad thing about it what so ever ! I hope this review help you out ! +198 Keyboard POS 5 I have be look at IR keyboard for quite some time , I have a PALM Centro , Treo 700 , and a ancient pocket pc run PALM OS . although the PALM software be not compatible with my Windows 7 computer , it work fine with Vista and xp , and it be a very quick and easy setup , and work like a charm . and it be a awesome alternative to those tiny button and handwriting stylus . +136 Keyboard NEG 1 Logitech rep in BestBuy say that this unit would work with all hdtv that have a hdmus port . incorrect . you need to have a hdtv that have the circuitry to accept hdmus version 1.3 or higher . +240 Keyboard POS 4 I be typing on it now and my initial response be that the key be too stiff for a device that require a bit of finesse due to its size . my keystroke do not always register . I be sure everyone will have a opinion about key placement but I personally find the single shift key -lrb- left side -rrb- and the placement of the apostrophe to be the biggest hindrance to comfortable , accurate typing . that say , it save a ton of desk space and seem to be make well . I would not recommend its use for anyone that do a lot of typing . Stick to the minus keyboard if you need to save space -lrb- in the 11-12 '' range vs. this one 's 9 '' -rrb- , unless you truly require something this small . +3 Keyboard POS 5 I have have this logitech diNovo Edge keyboard for 2 month now . I read the other review and this one be the only wireless keyboard that other reviewer be consistantly happy with . it be significately more expensive than other sell on Amazon . but my experience so far be that it work prefectly ! the lithum ion battery and bluetooth communication be worth it . I be glad that I spend the extra money and be not disapoint . the review system work great ! +595 Keyboard POS 4 you know the learning curve be really low on this product . I be quite surprised . I try it out for a couple of day and find that it really do do what it promise to . however , I just do not feel like it be right for I . I end up return it but that do not mean it be not right for you . it be not anything about the product per se that make I return it . it be just a gut feeling that it be not right for I . I hope you at least try it out and give it a go on you own and see how it fit into you computer lifestyle . +977 Keyboard POS 4 this be a wonderful keyboard for the money . I can type much faster on the ipad than use the touch screen . it take time to adjust to the key since return be a bit off from a regular keyboard . +383 Keyboard POS 5 I be primarily look for a case when I come across this case with a keyboard . end up buy a regular case and this keyboard case . I send the case back because I like this keyboard case so much better ! it be slightly more bulky than a regular case because of the add keyboard , but it be far more useful . the keyboard connect to my ipad via bluetooth and work with no glitch . the bluetooth signal seem strong , I have yet to drop the connection during use . Pretty amazing keyboard case . +627 Keyboard NEG 1 how do you mess a keyboard up ? just arrive today , the ` f ' , ' 5 ' , and ` o ' key do not work . plug back in the garbage stopgap keyboard I buy for 10 $ from pc Richards -lrb- which do not require software installation -rrb- . what a joke . +449 Keyboard NEG 1 I buy the HP Ultra Thin Wireless Keyboard for many reason : 1 -rrb- need a wireless keyboard 2 -rrb- need a fairly compact keyboard 3 -rrb- be already use a HP wireless mouse with link-5 , and do not want to add another usb receiver to my system 4 -rrb- price be right 5 -rrb- figure HP quality would be fine , for a keyboard when I get the thing , I could not get it to connect to my link-5 wireless receiver that come with my HP mouse . at first , I think the keyboard itself be defective . but then I try the receiver that come with the keyboard , and it work for the keyboard . but then my HP mouse would not connect . take I a while to figure out what be go on . there be two version of this keyboard , the old style -lrb- the one I be review -rrb- and the new style -lrb- the one I want , the one I think I order ! -rrb- the difference between the two be the receiver and the model number . this be bk114aa , the one you do not want . the one you might want to order be a0b42aa . that be the exact same keyboard , but it have the link-5 receiver . I be kind of upset that this be not make more clear in the advertising for this product . it be like have two car , one with a\/c and one without . but not be able to know which be which until after the sale ... -lrb- well that be a nasty surprise -rrb- +244 Keyboard NEG 1 much like its predecessor , the v2 be super slim and offer little key resistance . unfortunately , the key spacing on this model cause I to hit the wrong key frequently . also , the keyboard frequently omit letter , so fast typing be impossible as every few word be miss at least one letter . for these reason , I suggest go with the HP Wireless Elite Keyboard HP Wireless Elite Keyboard have none of these problem . the letter spacing be closer and I have no problem with miss key . the range be not as good as there must be no obstruction between the keyboard and receiver , but at least it type accurately and it be super slim and lightweight . BTW , deal with return to the third party seller `` Universal Mania Inc. '' be a nightmare . it take a week to get a rma for the defective keyboard , and they have all sort of return restriction . avoid Universal Mania . and avoid this keyboard model ! +972 Keyboard NEG 1 crash all the time and become unresponsive . Misinterprets keystroke or insert nonsensical character . will often continuously send out the same keystroke as if you be hold down key . get a IO Gear KVM . +785 Keyboard POS 5 this product work exactly the way you expect it to work . with Windows 7 on a Dell Vostro , all I have to do be plug in my IBM keyboard and a trackball , then start & restart my computer . so far -lrb- after about 20 start-up -rrb- , the system always find the device immediately -- and do it much more reliably than it do when I be use a two-port adapter to connect a usb keyboard -lrb- w\/trackball -rrb- and a separate keypad . +962 Keyboard NEG 1 right after open the box I have discover that the function key -lrb- fn -rrb- be stick down when it be press . terrible Quality Control be obvious . I should have read the negative review first . other people apparently have the same problem . I doubt I will ever buy another Razer product again . I have since contact support . they be go to ship I out a new fn key . this should not even be necessary . +135 Keyboard NEG 2 the keyboard be okay , but the case leave much to be desire . it just have a clip on each side which do not get very tight . you have to be very careful when you pick it up , or you pad will slide out . if you intend to keep it stationary , it be okay , but not good for portability . I get another case , a leather one without the keyboard where the pad it encase , and I love it . I just use the virtual keyboard . this one be collect dust . +370 Keyboard POS 4 overall I be pretty satisfy with the product . there be enough good thing say in other review so here I will only point out the problem I have : if I close ipad2 into the keyboard case and snap it in place , it become nearly impossible to remove the ipad2 from the keyboard case ! I have to try really hard and sometimes I worry about break either piece . finally what I have discover be to use either a paperclip or some other hard , flat thingy to insert in between ipad2 and keyboard case to separate these two . now I just keep they apart . another problem , which may not be a big issue for someone , be this keyboard case can not support ipad2 in portrait . if I leave the ipad2 in portrait on the keyboard , the sheer weight of the ipad2 will tilt the whole setup . I usually type with ipad2 in landscape so it be no big deal but for someone who want or need to type on ipad2 in portrait then this be not the keyboard for you . +676 Keyboard POS 5 I just buy this keyboard , somewhat afraid it might serve my need . I have a HP iPaq 1910 , for which there be no official full size keyboard available . I just receive it and it work great . it can be configure also to other keyboard layout besides the US English layout -lrb- most of my typing be in Spanish -rrb- . the only inconvenience with use a keyboard layout other than de US English be that the symbol on the other layout -lrb- e.i. spanish layout -rrb- need to use a special combination of function key to be access -lrb- because of the lack of a 5th key row -rrb- , but it doe not take long to get use to this . the hinge bump mention with the picture have be of no bother whatsoever . the size be great and the convenience be huge . now my PPC can really be use for typing . +309 Keyboard POS 5 I be not sure whether I just get use to this keyboard , but it have really grow on I to the point that I actually prefer its feel to some of the more expensive one . solid , no frill , with decent feel on the key ... at least for my liking . +701 Keyboard POS 5 the keyboard and mouse be very easy to install . the software make it easier to customize the keyboard and mouse . the product come with many feature +177 Keyboard POS 5 I be nervous at first buy the Logitech Revue . but I figure why not , let 's give the device a try . now I be seriously loving this little device . take about 5 minute to hook up . connect my external 1tb hard drive , sign in my netflix and Amazon prime account . very cool hardware , very well build . everyone seem to be complain about the lack of update , I do not know what they be try to do with the device , but I be have a great experience without the update . everything play well , even the youtube video . Everything play well be base on you internet speed . I use the wire connection , cause I hate the speed of wi-fus . use my ipod touch as a remote be SWEEEEET ! Controls the box and the tv . only complaint be that when I run my xbox 360 through the box it have lag time in controller response while play call of duty : Modern Warfare 3 online . Wish I could run the 360 through the box as well but that be fine . overall a great experience . if I have two tv be in the house I would buy another one : -rrb- I can not wait for the update that will upgrade the user interface and add service , but I will enjoy my little box in the meantime . +466 Keyboard NEG 1 the good the bad and the terrible terrible terriblerrrr how bad can it get . I try to even use one of the ac charger to charge a kindle . duh guess what doc it no workey no how no way no play . I mean it just suck the little lite glow nice and bright but it do not put out or in any juice . the sucker just sit there and do nada . NADA dang I hate it when it do that . what ya mean DA Bird Goose yes we know the BIRD GOOSE !! ok that be almost as good as cross you leg with no o ok that be another blonde in a movie right . just another tookas right ?? so some bad stuff . I have so far get nothing to work out of the whole order cept maybe my finger on the key to say nothing work . they take way to long and then do not send you what the show on the Page . the plug in item be not what you get , I be not sure they will even work right , dray I try to contact they and can not do that either . not again . never +267 Keyboard NEU 3 Logitech 's unifying technology do not work with KVM 's or usb hub . I contact Logitech 's support team and they confirm that the ubifying technology be not guarantee to work with KVM 's or usb hub . if it be for a single pc , I love the product and I be keep it for use with my main pc but I have to keep my old pc and mouse for they other pc . +690 Keyboard POS 4 Works great priced right no keyboard last for ever . I would buy another ; -rrb- +845 Keyboard POS 5 my HP Touchsmart wireless mouse keep breaking , so I replace it with the wireless Logitech keyboard and mouse after do some research . the Logitech keyboard be really easy to use and seem sturdy . the mouse be obviously durable since I have already drop it twice on my hardwood floor , and it do not break . +289 Keyboard POS 5 Works great from even about 50 ft away . Super sleek = fit well with my living room decor . I be pleasantly surprise with the small size and refine look . the keyboard sleeping be \* not \* a design defect - just hit enter twice and the keyboard come out of battery saving sleep mode . I be compare this to the DeNovo Edge . I choose this over the other as edge require you to have bluetooth and my desktop do not come with this . this be just as sleek as the edge and the integrate touchpad seem much more practical . recommend without any reservation . +430 Keyboard POS 4 despite the man make error and misinterpretation Believe I Know The king James version be the true Bible but be suppose to be interpret by Apostle Prophets Anointed by the holy ghost that have the Foundation and Knows history and law of Nature and common sense . once you learn to use it work well . I think its just a matter of opinion if you like the voice or not and it do have a volume control but it be in the program . it scroll while read . it also have some other useful feature as clock , calculator . what I do not like and reason do not get 5 star be because the one word search it will only search one word at a time it will not process two or more word in a scripture then find that Scripture , I have a Franklin Bible that would do that and the Bible I have that only work with Microsoft will do that but to keep from get virus I use linux on line and when I be on YouTube do battle with them with false doctrine sometimes I have to look up scripture that be why I buy this , not only that this be easy to carry around . and also Royal cost less than Franklin , I be so sick of over price stuff . +389 Keyboard POS 5 short review : Great ! long review : my two year old son rip 2 key off of my wife 's cq50-115nr , no big deal , then a few week later I leave the computer out and do not notice when he rip off about 15 more key . argh ! this be a life saver , because my wife be ANE-GREE . two word . I find this and ship it overnight -lrb- at 1 pm PST , thank God for Amazon Prime and product fulfil by Amazon ! -rrb- , fix it yesterday when it come in . I have assemble the odd computer from part before , so I know a little , but man , I could have probably do this blindfold . great instruction in the other review . I will recap what I do below . I take out the battery , and indeed there be 3 screw with a little braille-like keyboard symbol that match the hole on the replacement keyboard . Unscrewed those , turn over . the upper part of the keyboard lift up , only go a couple of inch , then you slide it gently towards the screen to release it from the lower pivot point . the keyboard be still attach by the ribbon cable . you use a small straight screwdriver -lrb- or a single tine from a fork if you be desperate -rrb- to push the white lever thing towards the screen allow the ribbon cable to easily slide out . do not force the ribbon cable , if it stick then you do not unlock the white thing on both side . there should be no force involve in remove or attach the cable , only slight force when lock or unlock the white lever . I insert the cable and push the white lever back down away from the screen lock the ribbon cable in , drop the keyboard in . I do push the keyboard down when screw it back in as the screw be small and would not catch . I replace the battery , turn on , and all they key work great . Wifey be very , very pleased , which please I , and I be now out of the dog house . one possible criticism , another person be say the key pop off , view from the side the key do appear slightly higher than before and be not quite flush with the computer , if it happen I 'll try to update my review . I be retain the remains of the previous keyboard for spare part in case this do happen -lrb- hopefully they fit -rrb- . now there be maybe a dozen keyboard available on Amazon , most probably cheaper than this one . why do I choose this one . because of the review ! this one fit precisely , look and feel OEM to I . I can only imagine how badly my wife would have react if I have get a cheapo one that do not fit . if it be my computer , I might have go with a cheapo one and take my chance , but my wife deserve the best . Worth every penny ! +362 Keyboard POS 5 I buy this keyboard about 9 month ago and it be still take the beating from my six employee . I would definetely recommend this product +616 Keyboard POS 5 as a student , eat and be by my computer can be pretty dangerous , but the keyboard skin have already save my computer from minor drink spill . love it . especially with nail , it be easier to type . +141 Keyboard NEU 3 I pick this set up because I want a second one of the keyboard -lrb- which I love , see my review Logitech k350 2.4 Ghz Wireless Keyboard ... not . the mouse be full-sized and full-featured . very flexible with the software as far as reprogram the button . however , there be two feature of this mouse that will cause I to either put it in a drawer for emergency replacement or just give it away . 1 . the scroll wheel : I have two other Logitech mouse that I use most of the time : a MX Revolution and a Darkfield Performance MX . both have very fast scroll wheel . once you get use to that , you never want to go back . this mouse be painfully slow in comparison , and , although via the software you can reprogram it to two other scroll mode , both require move the mouse on the desktop rather than just move the scroll wheel . 2 . this be the real deal-breaker : the finish on the top of the mouse be gritty and irritate my palm . I use this mouse for about 4 hour , do normal `` stuff . '' my right hand be back and forth between the keyboard and the mouse , but mostly I be click around the web and my system . at the end of the time , the palm of my hand , in the quadrant under my pinky and toward the heel , be irritated . I could not figure out why . then I compare the finish on the m510 to my other two and realize that the other be MUCH smoother . I check my husband 's stash of sandpaper , and I would say that the m510 have a finish on the top that be just a bit smoother that 600 grit wet or dry sandpaper . apparently I do not settle my hand all the way down on the body of the mouse all the time . part of my hand hover just high enough that it `` brush '' over the surface of the mouse . I never realize that before , but now that I know , I 'll never buy a mouse without a smooth top surface again . if you mousing technique be different from mine , this could be a great mouse for you , but not for I . +879 Keyboard POS 4 Perfect for clumsy people like I who tend to drop crumb or even water over the keyboard . the Red be kinda orange-y , but it do the job . the fit be not perfect . some of it tend to bunch up and shift at time , but not enough to be dysfunctional . +429 Keyboard NEU 3 I just set-up a htpc and this be a perfect complement to it . size and functionality be just about right , although , for HTPC use , a lead flashlight would be prefer over the laser pointer . unfortunately , I can not comment much about overall performance because the unit I receive be DOA . it would charge -lrb- the charge light come on -rrb- , and the laser pointer work , but everything else be non-functional : keyboard , backlight , bluetooth , etc. . so , in my case , I have to return it ; but these thing happen with hardware , some amount of DOA be inevitable . I probably will not reorder this model , but may try the version with the trackpad in the middle . +44 Keyboard POS 5 I have a android phone 2.1 but this keyboard be simply not work no this version of the phone . the keyboard work great and be quiet and work for I specially with my pc where I have a belking bluetooth dongle . be easy to pair to my pc and work perfect specially when i just want to have my arm on my chair rest without have to type with the big keyboard and the big key , unfortunately it doesnt work on my android . the problem be when i run the application for the bluetooth keyboard to work , the application ask that you need to be connect on internet , which I do but the application just close and stop thats it . I think be because of the version of the android be a bit older . I will try on a new version on another android phone and see if it work . its a little tricky right there about the keyboard to work on you phone . you just have to open the cd that come with the keyboard and then you have to go to the android folder -lrb- in my case -rrb- and copy the application to you sd card . after that go to file manager and just run the application . the application will automatically install and run but in order to the application work you need to be connect to internet and that will be all you need . Hope this will help you . with other model phone oyu have to open the folder of you operating system and do pretty much same thing . for better guideline open the Manual pdf on the cd . +368 Keyboard POS 5 this product be great for 1.00 u cant go wrong only thing tha i dont like about it be the feel feel like silky . . +762 Keyboard POS 4 the keyboard work excellent all around , the only thing you should be aware of be that some of the non word key be closer to the word than normal keyboard be +978 Keyboard POS 4 for the price I would say this keyboard be okay . the num lock key do not work but the key work fine . +974 Keyboard POS 5 use my laptop at home I find myself touch the cursor pad , and move it around what I be typing . also my old mouse be act up , so I get this combo pack . it do and excellent job & I would recommend it to anyone .

Microsoft support could not supply a work around so I have to return it . +334 Keyboard NEU 3 the keyboard portion work great , but the mouse leave a lot to be desire . the keyboard have a good feel and operate quite far from the receiver . the mouse be a pressure sensitive button that go from no motion to jump a significant distance make it hard to select thing on the screen . even with practice it be almost unusable . +500 Keyboard NEU 3 good keyboard solution for laptop , but do not have the same `` touch '' as a hard keyboard . take some get use to . +532 Keyboard NEG 1 I get this for Christmas , and yes , it light up . so if you want it as a decoration , fine , but do not expect to actually use it . the key stick terribly , it be difficult and frustrating to operate , and after several month I dig out a old keyboard and switch back to it instead . I do not usually diss product , but I have rarely be so dissatisfied with a product . +34 Keyboard POS 5 the Visor be a perfect thing to help you in school . it isespecially good for take note . but what if you be not that goodwith graffitus ? what if you writing be slow and you can not keep up withthe teacher ? that be why the stowaway exist . it be a full sizedkeyboard that fold up into a unit just larger than the Visor . Trustme , it be not just for student , anyone who need to write more than afew page a week will benefit from this . the Stowaway be the bestportable keyboard I have ever use . it be rate for up to 7 millionstroke per key . which be plenty . I do not think that you will be usingthe same visor in 10 year , with the rapid increase of PDA technology . it use the same key as the IBM Thinkpads , but even compare to anylaptop I could get my hand on , I find the feel of it be unique in awonderful way . it might be that it use a special kind of key , sothat , no matter how you touch the key , it will go down in a parallelfashion , so that all key go down the same way . this be unlike thegotype keyboard , which use a different kind of key , that be cheaper , and do not go down evenly . it be amazing that it be full size , and yetcan still be as small as my Visor . -lrb- actually , it be a tad bigger thanmy desktop keyboard ! -rrb- . I have try the GoType keyboard in store , butjust could not get use to the small key on it . the Stowaway be a workof art ; it be even feature in a recent exhibit at the New YorkMuseum of Modern Art ! i use my stowaway everyday now , in school , at home , on the bus . -lrb- I be write this review on it right now ! -rrb- it ` samazingly simple . you unfold it , snap it together , bring out the standto hold the Visor in , and then you plug the Visor in . because of theinguinty in it , the Stowaway win best design for a computer product , from PC Magazine ; beat out the iPaq , and the Apple G4 cube ! it be alittle hard to get use to , try rotate it in , one side first , andthan the other . turn you visor on , and you be ready . the angle inwhich the Stowaway hold the Visor be just perfect . it be easy to readand to use . it be actually so nice , I now read all my Avantgo andeBooks with it , just tap the down key to get more . it be a loteasier to read when it be prop up in the Stowaway ... +163 Keyboard NEG 1 this product be Garbage . Belkin ought to be ashamed . I will never buy another Belkin product as long as I live . it work fine for a while , as other reviewer point out , but whatever you do - do not change anything after you get it work . we make the mistake of move we computer desk to the other side of the room . Unplugged all we equipment , move it , plug it back in again . it only see one of we two computer . no matter what we do , we can not get it to work again . what a waste of life . +829 Keyboard POS 4 the Steelseries g6v2 be space efficient , heavy , and have a excellent tactile feel to it . it be a perfect keyboard for those who never have a mechanical keyboard before . the only criticism I have be that the shift key and backspace feel different and worn compare the the rest of the key and that the Return\/Enter key displace the \ | key down near \/ ? which be tricky to get use to . +668 Keyboard NEU 3 this be a good keyboard , but it could be better . usb and headset port be at the right end of the keyboard . cord and plug stick out of there interfere with mouse movement . most character on the key be light , but the shift character be not . unfortunately , it be these less use character that I would most like to see light . the keyboard need a power on\/off switch . it need to be bring up to date with synapse 2.0 software . the Mac layout be complete . all Mac key be properly label and functional . it be also miss the same key typically miss on Mac layout , such as a `` Ins '' key . the keyboard be incredibly ugly , particularly if you be a Mac user . razer seem to think all they product should appeal to 10 year old Darth Vader wannabe . well , Darth Vader go out of style in the last century and be about as current as the yellow submarine and bell bottom pants . but if you do not mind the way this keyboard look and you want instant response and a great feel -- this be you keyboard . at least until razer come out with one that be even better . +283 Keyboard POS 5 my wife love it !!! when I get home from the gym , I think she score a netbook somehow , but it be the iPad all along . now she and my 4yr d can not put it down . +842 Keyboard NEG 2 this keyboard be great - if you do not have any connection problem . if you look at the forum at apple support , you 'll realize that quite a few people who purchase this keyboard run into exactly that - bluetooth connection problem . where all of a sudden , you ` llllllll bbbbbbbe tyyyyyyyyyypinggggggg lllllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiikkkkkkkkkkkkeeeeeee this . aggravate - and there be really nothing that can be do to avoid it if you have the problem ... supposedly it be due to wireless interference ... but i have have to go back to use my wire keyboard . +502 Keyboard POS 4 so this keyboard protector be just as good as the Marware protector that be sell at the retail Apple store . I will say that because the key be paint blue -lrb- powder blue to be exact -rrb- , you can see that some key be not situate on the keyboard . this could be due to the fact that I just receive this product a couple hour ago . when receive , it be fold in half thus cause the middle portion of the keyboard to be slightly raise . all in all , I forsee this protector `` set in '' and be perfect . I would definitely recommend this to anyone look to protect they keyboard . for reference , I be use this product on a Apple Wireless Aluminum Keyboard . +831 Keyboard POS 5 it work comfortably . the volume button and Next\/Previous be handy . it share the unifying receiver with other Logitech product , so it actually `` save '' my Logitech m510 mouse b\/c I lose the mouse receiver . +472 Keyboard POS 4 price at $ 99.99 be a bargain . with the upcome Honeycomb firmware come soon this differently will be the streaming media to have .

Casio do not provide the . in -lrb- instrument definition -rrb- file for it , and the manual be useless for create you own . it work terribly with cakewalk -lrb- and I would imagine other MIDI device -rrb- for this reason . if you just want to play , and never record anything , then this be the instrument for you , otherwise , go for something a bit more expensive . do not go Casio though . . at present there be little to no . in file for Casio board anywhere on the web . also , it be certainly not a instrument to take on the road , partly for the limited storage , partly for its innability to interact with other MIDI device to the extent it could and should be able to , and partly because it be very lightweight and flimsy , do not sneeze in its direction . . . . look at the price , ask yourself if you can wait a while longer and buy something that be even just a little bit more expensive . . such as a Yamaha for a hundred or two more . if you think it will help you on you home project ... not unless you want to record and flatten to analog from track to track , or program everything into the keyboard and record analog . +14 Keyboard NEG 2 I get this product Saturday and it be Monday after & this protector look like I have have it for a year . it pick up everything !

I also have some difficulty with hit some of those key . however , after a week or so of continue use , the skin stretch and adapt to my keyboard quite nicely . it be almost as though nothing be there . give how expensive these product be if buy from Apple , this product be well worth it . it be easy to use , clean , and I feel safe drinking coffee next to my laptop . I recommend this product to other friend with Macbook pro and to anyone else who want to protect they Mac , do not have a lot of money , and have a little patience . +32 Keyboard POS 4 I own the wire model of this keyboard and it be very nice . because it be wire I do not need to worry about the battery charge or wireless signal strenth .

'' I offer to repurchase the subsciption from Nat Geo , they want to charge nearly $ 40 , yet they own web site display $ 15 . the customer service rep tell I to order from the web site then . this kind of disconnect between a company 's web pressence and other incarnation be unexceptable in this day and age . plus , they be still call my house try to sell I crap ! I never expect a historically beloved and classy magazine like National Geographic to have such shoddy and trashy customer service practice . they be obviously make a ton of loot , because they do not seem to care about retain my business at all . strange and a little sad when I can order Entertainment Weekly and receive more lucid service than from Nat Geo . +158 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I love NG Magazine so I decide to take out a subscription -lrb- which save a lot of money -rrb- the one complaint I have be how they send my first shippment . I subscribe in September and they say it would ship in 10-12 week . so i continue to but the current issue as they be release . in December when they send my forst shippment they send oct , nov , and dec all at once , I didnt care for that . any other mag that I get start from the first actual month that they ship +218 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I ` discover ' fashion magazine at age 12 and , more than 20 year later , Vogue have remain my favorite . it expose I to the glamour and lifestyle that up until that point I do not know exist - the fashion spread and even the advertisement make -lrb- and still make -rrb- quite a impression on I .

'' how right she be , despite have glorious photography , fashion model that dare not stand sideways or you would not be able to see they and the occasional good article in it , I have to admit I find Vogue too pretentious . vogue want to be the voice of fashion , the voice of the high brow media but its clientele be the likes of you and I , ordinary people who can not afford to live the high life they be portray on its gloss fill page . personally I would rather spend my money on a movie ticket , I get to see a good thriller , sci-fus , romance etc , etc I do not have to know about the substence abuse and emotional demon that haunt a particular actor 's life , I be just interested in enjoy myself for a couple of hour before I go back to my hard work life in the real world . vogue be try to sell I a dream that I do not really want to buy into , never have a penchant for sell my soul to the devil , it be get two star though because the photography be really superb , shame about the rest of it though . +464 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 ng be appreciate by my wife . I like it , but she love it and rave about the great photography . +494 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 Harper 's remind I of a book reading I once go to . the author read a selection from Proust . it take forever and when she finally get to the ` point ' the crowd all murmur and nod in approval at its profundity . I think I be go to go out of my mind ... . . what be so profound about take 1000 word to make a point that could have be make in ten word or less ? and therein lie my problem with Harper 's . people here compare it with other `` thoughtful '' magazine like the Atlantic and the New Yorker . no. ... it be not like those magazine at all ; every paragraph in those magazine be pack with information that be critical to understand the entire story . they do not take the rambling `` blue highway '' approach like Harper 's do . if you really want a magazine that be balanced and in depth without the wander prose of Harper 's try my two favorite : the New Yorker and the Economist . I also recommend the Atlantic . +877 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 if you do not already know , National Geographic be the magazine to open you eye to the world and its news . my favorite magazine . +650 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I be excite about receive National Geographic magazine ! it be a wealth of information about the beautiful world God have create for he people . I would not have be able to afford it if Amazon have not offer a good subscription rate . thank you Amazon ! +336 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 subscribe for a few year ... began send two copy of each issue for no reason ... they distributor or indie jobber be do a terrible job of get this otherwise worthy publication to its loyal reader . so when my current subscription lapse -lrb- I think that I have another year on it -rrb- I just let it go . just as I would not buy a `` name '' guitar with a warped neck , I will not subscribe to `` Acoustic Guitar '' because of its really , really poor customer service . Management need to get control of its distribution and sub-contractor . incidentally , I spend thousand of US dollar each year on instrument , accessory , recording , book . I still receive , however , they online edition . maybe the publisher would like to see the hard copy edition disappear and go completely electronic , hence the careless postal delivery service . whatever the reason , I be not gonna spend any more energy figure out they organizational problem . I 'll just read `` Vintage Guitar , '' `` Guitar Player , '' `` Premiere Guitar , '' and even the teeny bop `` Guitar World '' to get the information and instruction I need . `` Acoustic Guitar '' publisher : there be simply too much quality competition out there in the marketplace for you to permit sloppy business practice . you will lose the type of subscriber that you advertiser covet . I write this here because its useless and frustrating deal with knucklehead -lrb- independent contractor ? -rrb- on the phone try to sort out my subscription problem and communicate anything that require any semblance of intelligence to process . but that be America in general ; a `` who care ? '' attitude back by the disappearance of a once-robust manufacturing base . and that be one of the reason I support guitar craftsman who be profile in `` Acoustic Guitar '' -lrb- although I think Bob Taylor receive far too much coverage -rrb- . Handmade and hand-crafted guitar make in the USA be about the only worthwhile product that the US have to offer . that and guitar amplifier design and make by non-factory craftsman . too bad `` Acoustic Guitar '' prove to be the weak link in the chain . +112 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this be one magazine that be a must have for cut edge idea for the home . I really have enjoy the piece regard space management and furniture that serve multiple purpose . some of the stuff advertise be too expensive to afford ; however , it do provide some excellent idea for interior decorating . +496 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 my sister have be subscribe to j-14 since it first come out , and I have always view it as the magazine to read if you want to know more about celebrity . unlike most other teen magazine that talk about beauty , fashion , celebrity , world news , real-life issue , etc. all in one magazine , j-14 's main focus be celebrity , which be great if you do not want to read all the other part of a teen magazine . you 'll mostly find talk about singer , although this magazine focus on movie and tv too . each issue include at least 5 nice , glossy poster to hang up on you wall , many of the latest celebrity picture , up-to-date news about what movie and cd be come out , article about various celebrity , and more . my main concern with this magazine be that the editor and writer seem to have make up the information in this magazine to attract attention , so all of it may not be true . the part of the magazine that really bother I be `` be it true ? , '' which be a page of celebrity rumor and whether they be true or not . I do not know which one to believe , so I usually skip this part . I really like the `` cool comeback , '' `` how embarrassing ! , '' and `` Truth or Dare '' page , which be actual event send in by real teens with the most outrageous dare they have ever do , embarrassing moment , and greatest comeback . one other good thing about this magazine be that it cater to all sort of taste . for example , you 'll find article about Britney Spears , Clay Aiken , Ashanti , and Kelly Osbourne all in one . a okay magazine overall , but those who be not celeb-obsessed might find it to be boring . +186 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 there be lot of good thing to say about Harper 's , but maybe the most compelling be this : it be as much fun to read as the New Yorker -lrb- the short piece in Harper 's be fully equal to the cartoon in the New Yorker -rrb- , but induce barely one-quarter the guilt . a monthly magazine just can not pile up by you bed as quickly as a weekly can . subscribe because it be smart , fun , low-guilt , and inexpensive . at -lrb- a small amount -rrb- for a year 's subscription , you really can not go wrong . +804 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 excellent source for all lover of design , architecture , pre-fab and modern . all the great image and article without the pomp and circumstance of other architectural mag . +575 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 the Weekly Standard be where the advocate of militarism and corporatism share the thought cobble together by various industry lawyer , think tank , and pr agent pr ! - a Social history of spin it be regularly promote through other avenue of right-wing cultism , like the Limbaugh show and all the little Limbaughs Echo Chamber : Rush Limbaugh and the conservative Media establishment like any propaganda , it should be monitor to see how the spin doctor of the right-wing establishment be deceive those who subscribe to the value of elitism , imperialism , and other ugly aspect of the american empire kill Hope : U.S. Military and C.I.A.

'' by this publisher until they do away with it . anyway , I take out a subscription to these guy 's mag and pretty much enjoy it most of the time . still miss Play Guitar ! though . man . the problem I have with this mag be there be not enough basic stuff in it for I and it be really , really expensive . also it do have a lot of fingerpicking stuff that it seem like entire issue be dedicate to . that be not all bad though . plus all the equipment review seem to be positive . I have go to Guitar Center to checkout some of the equipment that be review and in my very amateurish opinion find they to be junk which have make I lose confidence in the magazine equipment review . I will not re-subscribe right now simply b\/c it be just too expensive for I . oh - though - the online lesson be pretty cool . come down on the price and I will gladly go for it again , even though I can not use every issue to my advantage . +17 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I read a few review on amazon and other site about Acoustic Guitar before decide to subscribe to it . I pay they on the 1st of May 2006 and my first copy be suppose to be the July issue -lrb- which have not yet turn up -rrb- , on write to they I get a response say that I should expect it any day , well I buy they word for it , but it never reach I . it be the same story for every issue and everytime I would write to they , all that they have to say be that I should reconfirm my postal address -lrb- which be ridiculous cause I have be get they renewal notice before even a single issue reach I , and I have bring that to they notice -rrb- . I even ask they for the detail of shippment so that I could trace my subscription , to which I be inform that it have be ship by surface mail -lrb- which be ridiculous cause I have pay they for international shipping -rrb- , well then I finally ask they to courier the subscription to I for a additional cost atleast I would get my magazine , well they do just that and I have my September issue in 2 day -lrb- all this after countless mail try to prove that I be a genuine subscriber and that my intention be as clear as un-polluted rain-water -rrb- . well then I wait anxiously for the next issue , which have not yet turn up and when I loge into my account on they site it show that my November issue have also be ship -lrb- they resort to surface shipping -rrb- ; well as you can guess I have to re-request they to resort to air shipping but now it seem like they have stop acknowledge my mail ; and I keep mail they in the hope that I 'll get what be mine but to no response . so for $ 40 I have just recieve my Sepetember issue -lrb- after countless mail request for something that I have pay for -rrb- and yes renewal notice by post : d -lrb- which be ridiculous -rrb- so my suggestion to people who want to subscribe to this magazine anywhere outside America would be to rethink bout it or if they get kick out of request for something that be theirs , well then you should subscribe to Acoustic Guitar . I waste my $ 40 , which I doubt they 'll refund , cause they do not even acknowledge my email : s my acoustic Guitar customer ID no. : 789000 -lrb- a genuine subscriber -rrb- +630 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 hello : we would like very much to offer we opinion of this product , however ; we have not receive it as yet . +40 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I subscribe in December 2009 . it be now February 2010 and still no sign of this magazine . +311 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 this be a review of the subscription , not the magazine .

I like to find out about the progress toward find cure and other medical research and Diabetes Forecast excel in these area . it discuss medical breakthrough , legislation , drug , etc. , that could be important to diabetic sufferer and the family that support they . I like these news article best because the search for a cure be the most important diabetic concern to I . I have see too many people suffer from diabetes and struggle to live a normal life . I like read the legal section and other department most because it be here that I get the greatest sense of satisfaction ; know that progress toward a cure be be make , even though it be far slower than most would prefer . when Diabetes Forecast be not talk about cure and legal issue , it be offer advice . the advice can be anything from proper diet to insulin usage to better exercise . the advice offer in this magazine be intend for diabetic , but much of it can apply to anyone . the article on physical fitness , for example , be useful to all . the recipe can also be beneficial to anyone since they feature great - tasting food dish that would be acceptable to any person who appreciate good eating . Diabetes Forecast offer a pleasant surprise to many reader : it be a very optimistic publication . this may come as a surprise to those who have never read this magazine . I admit , when I first hear about this magazine , I assume it would contain sad , tragic story of loss and general ill health . however , the magazine maintain a very optimistic edge . the people who share they personal story in this magazine be determine to win the battle against diabetes . they do not intend to let it stand in the way of reach important goal . they be bind and determine to beat this disease . overall , Diabetes Forecast be a very nice magazine that offer some sound advice on cope with the issue surround diabetes , along with official information on government legislation and the search for a cure . Diabetes be a annoying disease , but like the contributor to this magazine will attest , diabetes do not have to control you life . you can still be in charge and live life to the fullest with a little preparation and precautionary measure . +266 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 how relevant can a magazine actually remain in the age of the internet ?

National Geographic be a great magazine that have take stride throughout its existence to remain fresh and relevant , while tackle oftentimes highly controversial issue like global warming and pollution . it be a monthly treasure of information . +269 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I absolutely love this publication . it be a wonderful way to start or end my day with inspirational story that leave positive thought . +447 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 Hawaii magazine be the magazine of the state , but they be not even in the state of Hawaii . Hawaii Magazine be publish , edit , and design all in Southern California by the same folk that publish Cat Fancy Magazine . Hawaii be a unique and magical place , and that magic can not be capture from a office thousand of mile away . this show in the page of the magazine , it be just not `` Hawaii '' . in addition the printing be dull and the color be flat , the paper be thin and the story be water down press release . Hawaii deserve something better . try Islands Magazine - it be a great magazine , even if only a portion of it cover Hawaii . +343 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 some of the house be really stunning . a part of the problem be that many of the house they feature be build as modern home . in a recent issue they show some old home that be convert over . what I would like to see be they take a colonial home and convert it . that be say its a very good magazine for people that like modern home . there be appropriate advertising that can help you outfit you home . most of the home item show be not top dollar , but they show you where to get thing that look top dollar but be cheap . overall its a pretty good magazine , if you into modern home you should get it . +525 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 my nephew , who just turn 15 , have be get it for a year and want it renew ! so , he be now get it for a second year . +818 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 would love to review if I have receive it but I have not get the first issue yet !! any idea why ? +827 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I order this magazine for my son on 6\/22\/08 . he have yet to receive he first issue and now have a new address .

I suppose what have sour I a bit on ` Harper 's ' be its bias to the political left . but that withstand it still provide a rich mix of article of high quality . +375 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I order two subscription as Xmas gift at $ 48.00 each . in January I order a gift subscription from the publisher on the net and the cost be only $ 36.00 . that be quite a difference . of course I will look more carefully in the future when order book etc. . +853 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this magazine have a lot of info for anyone who want to start or have start a business . very good value for the price .

I like that . also the photography be top , and often take up the whole page -lrb- good mini-poster -rrb- . they be good about not expose the same old people too , lot of fresh face , usually cool . hey , if it be good enough for `` Andy Warhol '' , it can not be bad , huh ? +535 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 National Geographic Magazine offer more for you money than any other publication I know . the quality of research , variety of subject matter , and the manner in which the each article be tackle be superb . from first page turn to last page sadly close , you attention will be grip and you will not be able to put it down ! it be hard to imagine the depth of information that this publication disseminate for the subscription price it charge ; it be the best bargain on the planet . over the year we family school project have be enhance through ngm ; we have all be educate far beyond what we schooling bring we ; solid statistics have be pass on to other , to help further they knowledge on a topic . we magazine have be lend out to other and at the end , due to minimal storage space , I have -lrb- albeit reluctantly -rrb- `` recycled '' my older magazine to school or other institution that crave these educational magazine . again - best bargain on the planet ! +603 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I have not receive any issue yet ! how should I I hope I can get a copy of it in the near future ! +988 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this magazine be helpful for cope with diabetes .

Asimov 's Science Fiction magazine be another time where this be the case . while I have buy Fantasy & Science Fiction magazine every month for a while now , I would also check Asimov 's to see if it have a Baker story . if it do , I would buy it . what I have find , however , be that I have enjoy most of the other story in the issue I have buy as well . thus , from now on I will be buy it every month too . much like Fantasy & Science Fiction , Asimov 's contain mostly science fiction story of various length -lrb- short story , novelette , novellum -rrb- along with a couple of column and some cartoon . the difference between the two be that Asimov 's contain no fantasy -lrb- though some of Mike Resnick 's story have a fantasy feel to they -rrb- . however , the magazine like to concentrate on character-based science fiction , so you will not see a lot of `` technology first , character second '' story in the magazine . personally , I think that be a good thing as hard science fiction turn I off . if you be more into the hard science , you may find stuff in here to interest you , but there be a good chance that you will not . occasionally , there will be guest editorial -lrb- they print George R.R. Martin 's Guest of honor speech from Worldcon in the October\/November issue -rrb- . there be always a `` on book '' column , sometimes write by Paul Di Filippo , sometimes by Peter Heck . the author use this column to recommend book that you may not have come across . Robert Silverberg open each issue with a `` reflection '' column that can cover everything from space exploration to idea on story-writing . James Patrick Kelly occasionally be feature with a `` on the net '' column , examine various science fiction web site and other online activity . unlike Fantasy & Science fiction , there be often some poetry include as well . finally , there be a calendar of upcome convention that cover the world so you can always find someplace to go if you need to get together with a group of fan . the bread and butter of the magazine , though , be the story . each story have a introduction from the editor -lrb- currently Gardner Dozois , though that will change to Sheila Williams with the January issue -rrb- , which may explain the genesis of the story , or just tell we how long it be be since that author have appear in Asimov 's . one of the thing about Asimov 's that be different be that it often serialize story that will eventually appear in book form . Allen M. Steele 's Coyote series have be serialize over the last couple of year with all of they be collect in two book -lrb- coyote from a couple of year ago , and the upcome Coyote rise -rrb- . also , Charles Stross ' Accelerando have be feature in recent issue . the one drawback to this be for reader who only pick up the occasional issue . for instance , `` Survivor '' in the October\/November issue do not really mean a lot because I have miss everything that come before it . it do reward regular reader , though . Asimov 's have many writer who write almost exclusively for that magazine , or at the very least the author submit they story to this magazine for first refusal . my favorite , Kage Baker , only seem to appear here , with only one story that I know of appear in realm of Fantasy . Allen M. Steele be another . Robert Reed seem to be feature everywhere -lrb- I swear that guy be churn they out like he be a machine -rrb- but he be feature a lot in Asimov 's . the magazine be bind just like Fantasy & Science fiction , however the cover be thin paper rather than thicker stock , so it will tear a bit easier . this do have the advantage that you can sometimes leave it lie open for reading -lrb- though this only work if you be toward the middle of it -rrb- . it also mean it can be roll up if necessary . the only other fault I have with it , and this be strictly a personal thing , be that the story do not always grab I as much as they do in Fantasy & Science fiction . this be mainly because I be more into fantasy than science fiction , so this certainly would not be the case for everyone . while the hit and miss ratio vary from issue to issue , I can say that I have never skip a story in the magazine . again , that be a benefit of short fiction . you be not go to waste a lot of time on they . if I have to choose between the two magazine , I would definitely choose Fantasy & Science fiction . however , Asimov 's be certainly good enough that it be easy to make room for both of they . plus , by pick they both up , I feel like I be do my part in keep short fiction alive . it be only a small part , but every little bit help .

I order a subscription for my granddaughter on July 27th . in its confirmation e-mail Amazon state that it would be `` 6 to 10 week to arrive from the date you place you order '' . today , the 2nd of September , I check my Amazon account . it give a delivery estimate of November 27th . that be about 18 week from the date of order ; which be double to triple the promise subscription fulfillment time . Amazon have a relationship with Synapse Group , Inc. for Nat'l Geographic subscription fulfillment . synapse be own by Time , Inc. which , in turn , be own by Time Warner . why can not these large company put together a system that can get a magazine subscription to a little girl in Montana in less than 18 week ? I wish that I would not opt to use Amazon to subscribe to magazine as its suppose convenience now show itself to be false . too , Amazon never bother to tell I that the promise deliver date have double . I will cancel my order and instead , as I should have in the first place , place it direct with National Geographic . in sum , the magazine be excellent ; the problem be that Amazon and its partner Time Warner be do a below average job of sell magazine subscription . +563 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 we love National Geographic . it be so interesting and include beautiful photography . we re huge fan and the entire family enjoy it . +729 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 we wait for month on end for the first issue to arrive . it finally do , but we have never receive another one . my daughter be broken-hearted and tell I today , `` I tell you we should have just subscribe through the magazine , but nooooooo , we have to find a bargain .

I think this should be require reading for all Americans . +758 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 j-14 be a pretty good magazine . I like the `` truth or dare '' , `` totally embarrasing moment '' and `` cool comeback '' the best . it have poster and a quiz in each issue . -lrb- with title like `` be you a good girlfriend ? '' and `` do he like you ? '' and `` be you a Flirt ? '' -rrb- it have `` win look '' , where they rate how star look . in `` totally embarrasing moment '' , people write in about embarrassing moment they have have , and j-14 rate they as - `` you 'll get over it , '' `` we do not Know you , '' and `` leave town now !!! '' in `` truth or dare , '' people write in about stuff they have to say or do ina game of truth or dare . j-14 will rate those as `` total daredevil , '' `` Pretty Risky , '' and something else I can not remember . in `` cool comeback , '' people write in about cool comeback they have make . overall , it be a good magazine , if you be look for something like that . +574 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I love this magazine .

I want something objective , fair , and unbiased something to match what I see onscreen . +843 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 it be good but not great some of the rumor , fact , and stuff about star be pretty obvious but if you do not know zilch about star and would like to this magazine be load with everything you want to know about star ! I recommend this magazine for age 10-14 ! +519 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I think Lewis Latham 's `` Notebook , '' which appear at the beginning of each issue be , all by itself , reason enough to subscribe to Harpers -lrb- and at this price , who can resist ? -rrb- . like nearly everyone else , I like the index but wish , like nearly everyone else , there be more in the magazine about the item themselves . best of all , however , be `` reading , '' the snippet , essay , statement , photograph , poem , letter , dialogue , leaflet , very short story and other report about everything under the sun , that follow the index . of course , each issue feature longer essay , personal narrative and short story that reflect we time , but I like the three section at the beginning of the magazine the best and they be the reason why I have be subscribe to this magazine for nearly 25 year . +13 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 this month 's issue of Vogue -lrb- July 2008 , with Nicole Kidman on the cover -rrb- clarify for I the significant drop in quality at american Vogue over the year . the magazine have reduce in size , now smaller than US letter paper . the spine measure less than 1\/4 inch . the printing and paper quality be low . the content of the July issue , in particular be watery . Vogue use to contain expansive description of trend and detail , but if the last few issue be a indicator , they must have fire a lot of writer . what exist now be not much more than product placement ad . the photo page be few in number as well . I know that there be much more to fashion now that what be in Vogue lately . what be go on ? maybe there need to be a change in editorial leadership . in the meanwhile , sadly I probably will not renew . +750 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 this be the ONLY magazine my mom let I get when I be 11-12 . I love it . it have poster and thing to promote a intirest in read for any kid or teen . I say it be good . . +319 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I can not remember a time that this magazine have not be in my life . my grandmother send a subscription to my dad every year ; and when I move away from home he send it to I . now that my parent have pass away I buy it for myself . grow up I probably compile at least a dozen school report from the many article I have read . when it come in the mail I stop everything and read it cover to cover . my only possible negative critique would be that the magazine have become more political over the year ; and I enjoy the true science of exploration and can get the politics elsewhere . +88 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 National Geographic be a truly great magazine . fascinating article , and of course , the most beautiful photo of people and place . very interesting and educational from cover to cover . I think this should be require reading for all Americans . +950 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I could not find a lower price for a annual subscription of National Geographic than that offer by Amazon.com . the first issue of the magazine arrive seven week after I place my order . +236 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 i get almot every mounth issue i love it i suggest you to get it for you teen or youself -lrb- if you a kid -rrb- . well what-ever just get it it have all kind of star news \* -lrb- no interpropet thing or stuff like that -rrb- it totaly cool !! +902 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 uhg . can you imagine take a college class at Berkeley on how to operate a cement mixer or chainsaw ? that be kind of how this magazine feel . a lot of non-entrepreneurs in a little publishing outfit try to tell you about all these `` trendy '' thing . which cell phone be hot ? how much should you spend on a haircut ? come on , let 's get real . this magazine be a joke . +919 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this be the best soap opera magazine that I have see . a must-have for soap lover like I ! : -rrb- +58 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 well it be just not for everyone . but if you be 11-15 I highly reccomend this to you . this magazine be clearly for girl who be girly and like to read about celeb and get poster !!! NOT for GUYS or girl who like to read the intellectual law of science . I be almost thirteen -lrb- I will be next month : -rrb- and I think this mag be totally awsome ! and ya wanna know why ?! because not only do it have celebrity gossip -lrb- hilary duff eating too much cookie dough say what ?! -rrb- but there also news about when you favorite artist ' new cd be come out ! the people I know who do not like this magazine live in the bad side of town in a wicked crappy appartment with druggy 's nextdoor or maybe they live in a trailer park ?? I be just say that all those people who write those one star review sound like they dont really have a life - no offense but I do and maybe this magazine help I live it - okay ??? parent ; buy a subscription for you daughter today !! thanks for you anticipated cooperation \*\* HAVE A NICE DAY \*\* +748 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I get this every year for my mother , and she really enjoy read it . it be a good way to get update if you miss some show , and the who be come and go be always interesting and fun to know . +341 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I have no idea why the average rating for this worthless piece of iq-lowering crap be so high , because , believe I , it should not be . I be 12 year old , and I warn those on either side of my age never to look at this hideous publication . actually , it can do well if you be look for laugh . but it be also pretty tragic . it signify to I just how low we generation have sink . j-14 be a lousy preteen version of in touch and Us Weekly magazine . it be fill with cheesy quiz , boring article and celebrity that be strictly limit to Ashlee Simpson , Hilary Duff , Ryan Cabrera , Jojo , Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan . the article be pretty boring too , with name like ` OMG ! Jojo 's newest crush ! ' and ` do Hilary Duff REALLY eat too much cookie dough ? ' Yawn . I would much rather read about teenage boy get kick out of they Mormon sect in people magazine . if you be go to have to read ` brain candy ' , people be my alternative to j-14 . sure , it target a older audience than j-14 , but I have be read it since I be 10 . the quiz in j-14 be no good either , stick to topic like ` be you and he perfect for each other ? ' -lrb- I think that the j-14 editor make a rule so that one would be in every issue -rrb- and ` what be you shoe style ' -lrb- ditto the thing about it be in every issue , although it might switch to hairstyle or something -rrb- and ` which celeb boy be perfect for u ' . I do not have many friend , so I just gawp at that magazine and go ` that be what 12-year-old think about ? ' and parent , be warn , the magazine contain a fair amount of sexual content , and not in a mature way like in the teen magazine Cosmogirl and seventeen magazine , I mean as in ` put on this eyeliner and sexy top 2 impress ur crush , OMG !!! ' plus , the magazine be saturate with all those irritating netspeak-style phrase like ` OMG ' , ` u ' instead of ` you ' and everything . many reviewer will be say thing like ' x be so much better ' but I be warn you , Popstar , Tigerbeat and -lrb- worst for last -rrb- bop magazine suck just as much as this , if not worse . this magazine be ridiculously cheap and tasteless . it be very shallow and be bind to dumben down you kid . buy you seventh-grader Muse , people or seventeen . do she a favor and do not get her this embarassment to god . she brain cell will thank you . +440 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 ng mag usually hold my attention with mostly interesting article . some issue dwell too much on a single subject -lrb- that may be near and dear to we , like water -rrb- . there use to be more short article -lrb- geographica -rrb- . the magazine use to have more vary as well as more in-depth article and picture . many article have environmently `` slant '' article , instead of objective article . +683 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 no doubt this be one of the best nature magazine . it be the family collection that grow and grow in the basement , and it be always good for give it a look , even those 70 's and 80 's issue . but the best be the map . Everytime I grab one issue , the first thing I look for be if it have map in it . they be great , well draw , reliable , etc. 5 star for the map . +12 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I have read issue of National Geographic that date back to the last century . in those early time the article be often more sterile and factual , but still just as interesting . in many case those article be more interesting today , because we see the world of then through the eye of the relatively objective viewer of then . geography cover more than just land mass and forest . National Geographic be not about `` national , '' it be about we entire universe ; National Geographic refer to `` the National Geographic Society , '' rather than the breadth of coverage . in the decade that I have be read National Geographic , article have cover everything from the Earth 's core , to the deepest ocean , to the people live on the land and the land itself , the mountain and sky above we , and the whole universe . warning : if you be a creationist then I would avoid this magazine . the breadth of the magazine be well match by its depth . Articles in the last decade have cover gene , atomic science , microbial life , how remote sense technology work , laser , frequency , such as those that make up color and the all the invisible spectrum , and so many more that it be impossible to list they in a 1000 word review . virtually every major issue possible to be cover that be related to geography have have at least one article in Geographic , and thousand of not-so-major issue . there be even a article on holography ! the core of the magazine be still geography as we grow up believe geography to be . there have be article on Lake Baikal , a wonderful trek through the still wild and swampy jungle of Africa , excellent article on cave and national park of all nation , glorious color picture of undersea life and animal of all shape , size and description , and the ever popular insect and arachnid , to name but a fraction . National Geographic have always be famous for the picture . a recent addition to the magazine have be a brief article describe a picture that do not quite make the cut for a featured article . the brief summary explain why the editor , writer or photographer be enamor of a particular picture , and why the picture be not use in the article . this article provide a wonderful insight into the marriage of photography and prose for each article in every magazine ; a primer for would-be editor . while National Geographic do have a environmental lean in report , it be remarkably balanced . the need of affected population such as fisherman , farmer , and people in general be report alongside commentary on how people have damage a ecosystem or cause the extinction of another species . there always seem to be a note of glee when the need of ecology and the need of people be in balance or when people have benefit from improve or guard a ecosystem . there be few adult magazine that I feel be sufficiently balance in they reporting that I be comfortable provide unlimited access to child . while there be occasional article that be quite bloody , which be to be expect when deal with human and animal , the blood be real and not stage . while I would not expose a very young child to such imagery , older child need to learn of the reality of the world . I remember when I be first expose to National Geographic 40 year ago I find some of the image disturbing , but those same image help prepared I for some of the harsh reality of life outside my home , my city , my country and even my solar system and galaxy . National Geographic have be a important magazine in my life for about 40 year . I be fortunate to go to a high school with magazine that date back more than 70 year , and spend many free hour read those old magazine , with all black and white photograph . what a incredible perspective this magazine give we on the world and how we and we knowledge have change in the course of the last 100 year . what a wonderful way to discover those change . this excellent and educational magazine be for those interested in people , science , geography , the world , and the universe . +980 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 the best of the intellectual and , why not , the absurd . entertaining , thought-provoking . Worth every dime . +732 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I usually find a lot of article on archeology in National Geographic , but hardly any in the first 3 issue that I have so far receive . one issue , that I actually expect to be boring be actually very interesting . that be the issue on WATER . it cover everything from how much water it take to raise a pound of beef to water level in various aquafier around the world to how the rainfall have change in different area of the world & the result change in climate , plus a whole lot more of information that involve all of we live here on planet Earth . so , while I may not be get all the archeology article I seem to crave , I have find many other type of article of great interest . it be always great to learn new thing , now be not it ? +864 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I have consistently place my order for ng for over 2 year and I have not fail to resubscribe on expiration . the magazine be informative and well like . good value for money . +569 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 Harper 's magazine be awesome . I love that I can keep up with current event while also enjoy some fiction too . +873 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 j-14 be a good magazine overall , but there be some -lrb- false -rrb- stuff in here that the magazine staff probably make up to get people to buy it , especially in the `` truth or rumor '' section . the magazine have good article , and ton and ton of picture and lot of glossy , full-color poster . there be feature on music , tv , and movie . the embarrasing moment , -lrb- ugly -rrb- story , and truth or dare story submit by reader be one of the best part of the magazine , and I always like to read they . the magazine also have horoscope , feature on what celebrity wear , make-up and beauty advice , and more . overall , this be a good magazine , but it would be even better if it be completely true . +769 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I have every issue ever publish . it may not have a research\/academic emphasis or super detailed drawing like `` detail '' magazine or `` Architectural Review '' but Dwell be just a all around good magazine for inspiration , information , and generally a experience that feel good . +498 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I love guidepost ! I have subscribe to this magazine for year . I have try other inspirational magazine and they be not the same . guidepost be by far the most uplifting magazine I have ever read . the story always touch my heart . the only thing that could make this magazine better be to make it available for Kindles . +453 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 it take a very long time for the 1st issue to come . I think I receive 1st issue roughly 3 month after place order on Amazon . I then move and promptly update change of address info . that be a least 3 month since i receive the 1st issue . I have still yet to receive 1st issue at new address !!! very poor service . Magazine itself be decent , but will probably just stick with Inc. & fast company after this subscription run out . +768 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I buy this subscription for my granddaughter last year and she be completely satisfied , so renew for another year . +938 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 National Geographic be a awesome magazine , and I would not hesitate get a subscription , but I would not get it here . if you go to National Geographic 's website and click on the ` subscribe ' link , you can get it for only $ 15 for 12 issue . plus , you do not have to deal with a third party distributor if you order direct from the source . +753 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 we love this magazine . so informative , well-written , fascinating and surprisingly relevant . the photo be fabulous . I often find that topic I hear about on WNYC be first print in National Geographic . +310 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 National Geographic have be a consistant magazine thru the year . it be one place where the article be simple , easy and beautifully present ... and the photograph be absolutely wonderful ... keep up the good work ! Cheers +508 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 this be definitely not the Vogue , as we know it . as a matter of fact , the american Vogue be one overestimate pound of paper full of ad , a little bit of fashion in between , and some socialite news . and I mean full of ad , page after page ! I can not help but wonder what be next ?? coupon ??? this be just a pathetic exploitation of the name of Vogue . if you want to read the real Vogue , go for the Vogue Paris - such a huge difference in quality ! +323 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I get one every month . Super cheap to get they from amazon ! love the article , poster , and gossip in this magazine . +29 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I can not go a week without my Weekly Standard -lrb- well maybe the 2 week they seem to take vacation in the summer -rrb- I would recommend it to even my liberal friend -lrb- if they be open-minded enough to read it ! -rrb- +992 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 have some of the best article and wonderful photography . kid really enjoy it as well as adult and can use in school project . some the article amazingly seem to coordinate with current literature -lrb- eg . beyond the beautiful forever and article on child bride of the middle east -rrb- we have be get this magazine for many year ! and my husband and I read every word . +73 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I have always be take aback by the ammount of `` worship '' these insignifigant individual -lrb- celebrity -rrb- receive . let just lay the truth out on the line ; lindsay lohan have a dysfunctional family . hilary duff be a spoil brat . jojo have race issue . justin timberlake be pervert and egotistical . jessie mccartney be a flash in the pan 15 minute idol with no talent . pari hilton have a IQ level so low I could add it up on one hand , and wilmer valderama be not funny . j-14 , however , do not see it that way . instead of printing something with substance , they resort to celebrity kissbutt tactic , stalk these people for every aspect of they life and print it alum j-14 's `` lindsey lohan get a haircut '' . be you serious ??? who care ! if ever there be anything j-14 care about more than celebrity , it would be `` attract boy '' . I be sorry , but I do not think I want my pre-teen sister be tell to dress like a tramp and act totally different to attract a boy who see right through she anyway . it be madness . j-14 be junk , plain and simple , and with the help of mtv , vh1 and the-n , it will continue to infest and polute the mind of we young one . seriously kid , it be time to get a life . hilary duff do not know you , and she never will . the fact that you know every aspect of her life be all the more reason to take a good hard look in the mirror and re evaluate yourself . they want you to ignore what really go on in favor of celebrity gossip , and they get what they want . you should be ashamed . +720 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I have buy the subscription of this magazine on and off throughout the year and always seem to come back to it . the photographer be some of the most amazing photo-journalist on the planet and go to a ton of really neat location . they will brave almost anything to get the photograph for we enjoyment . the article be well scop out for the reader and make you want to jump on the next jet to get there to see for yourself . you can not go wrong with this magazine , folk . +217 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this be one of the best retirement compilation I have come across . many good idea . just one , idea for part time work include email address for call center work . so many retirement magazine focus only on how to save for retirement , not on lifestyle base on the amount of money you really do have at t the end . highly recommend +263 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 First off , I would like to say that most girl 8-15 find this magazine very interesting . I have to admit , I buy it myself sometimes . it be pack with pin up , colum , advice , and so much more for the `` pop princess . '' however , j-14 be probably , in my opinion , the teen version of the National Enquirer . I be say this from my point of view , and someone who know behind-the-scenes info , that J-14 make up some of its article . a lot of `` quote '' be just a couple word here and there from different conversation , or actual quote the artist have say . once all these word be put together to form a new quote , yet another rumor come up also . that be the only thing that I do not support in this magazine . although , entertainment be entertainment , and you can not change that . some magazine have to make up thing to sell , and unfortunately , j-14 be one of they . +598 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this be great a magazine . not only have I not read any of they magazine but I rip they up and use the paper to line my bird 's cage so it poo 's on star 's face . so if they mouth be open poo-poo be in they mouth . my bird will not poo if it be not j-14 paper . so as you can see it have to be good because my bird get only the best ... ... well , there be that 1 time she use the Reader 's Diegst but I do not think she know the difference -lrb- both boring and have pointless quiz -rrb- . +324 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 I receive this magazine a few day ago and be surprise that it come so soon .

Asimov 's be less predictable than Analog as well ; other than editor Robert Silverberg 's editorial , there be few recur feature , and serialzed novel be rare . so you may get two short story or five , the rest make up of novellum and novellette . but they will always be well-done , and you 'll find yourself look for those author ' long work after enjoy they in Asimov 's . one change in publication not mention here : both magazine have go to 10 issue a year from 11 , with 2 `` double issue '' instead of one per year . the double issue be always a treat but then one must wait 2 month for the next regular issue ! +475 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I love how the article be informative and have visual aid .

I feel that that they need to either bulk up the magazine or offer it more frequently if they want to continue to charge the same amount . it be unlikely that I will renew my subscription and this be almost exclusively due to the cost . +726 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 if you love anything western you will absolutely love this magazine . beautiful photograph . great article on famous people who happen to love horse and live out west . lot of great information on travel also and anything else western . this be a joy to read . +983 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 Vogue use to be my favorite fashion mag out there , but today the advertisement be simply ridiculous .

Lapham be the reason I initially subscribe to Harper 's . he template and influence be still present . I enjoy my reading hobby and this magazine touch a lot of my reading hot button . investigative reporting be my red meat hot botton . perhaps the best book on that subject be Into the buzzsaw by Kristina Borjesson . if one read that , than one understand , what they need to know about a `` free press '' . despite those draw back -lrb- read the book -rrb- , Harper 's manage to touch some hot wire that be ever present in today 's envirnoment of elaborate pr facade . for example , the `` global warming ' that be allegedly cause by carbon dioxide . read -lrb- google -rrb- \/ climate Change : there be money to be make by Ken Silverstein Harper 's . another hot botton of mine be books\/literature , and Harper 's not only review several book , but select some for very in-depth anayls . another hot button of mine be science and they have a feature , every month : finding , which be quite good -lrb- short but sweet -rrb- . also , some article , at time , feature science story . another great feature they have every month be they `` Index '' feature , which relate some factual statistics on current topic that be in the public eye . another feature be `` reading '' , which be a eclectic assortment of various odds & end that cover thing that one would never imagine to come across . perhaps one of the most outstanding reason to subscribe be Harper 's provide access to its vast archive , date back to 1850 ! I access a article that note historian Charles Beard write in December 1931 title ` the myth of rugged american individualism ' . in it he document 15 example of government handouts\/subsidies to business when the country be sink into depression . it demolish the notion that business have single-handedly achieve the building of the country -lrb- or even its own special project -rrb- due to the acumen and strength of character of big american entreneur , reveal the extent to which government -lrb- as fund by the taxpayer -rrb- be not just instrumental , but a indespensable participant . government be engage in these project in such a way that corporation be primary beneficiary to the detriment of the public-such as the elaborate construction of network of highway favor the auto industry and big oil instead of cheap public transit . the giant business have enjoy tremendous benefit while command public policy agenda , distort public policy priority and expendature in way that be not in -lrb- or even against -rrb- the public interest . and then , even as they reap immense government subsidy , they have the audacity to preach ` individualism ' and self-sufficientcy to the american public , to tell Americans that we should demand nothing \/ expect nothing from the government we elect to address OUR need . this article of the past be representative of what a magazine should write today . unfortunately , it be not the case . all in all , a very worthwhile magazine in today 's mainstream media full of emptiness . +191 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 when I cancel everything else , this will be the bird magazine I keep .

I discover bwd through my old boss who be a `` bow and arrow '' hunter , who spend long hour sit in tree wait for deer . while he wait he observe the bird around he and he say BWD have help he to while away the hour , not only by teach he how to identify the bird but to understand they nature . -lrb- he once fall out of he tree and break he leg . he hobble around for a month after a month in traction . no , he be not read he magazine , he be try to get a better view of a bird !! -rrb- the july\/august issue include a `` Identify Yourself '' section cover `` Shore Birds '' just in time for we annual human pilgrimage to the sea . +358 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I do not understand why this magazine be not available on Kindle . that be the only reason I want a Kindle fire but now I guess I do not . +26 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 if you really want to read this magazine , DO NOT subscribe . just buy it from Barnes and Noble .

First of all the advertisement be too many and I do not find the article as interesting . sometimes they stay for a few month on my bedside table until I get to read the one or two article I want to read per issue because they be not a priority and most of the time I have more interesting thing to read . since the subscription be not expensive I be glad I get it for one year to sample the magazine . if you be consider a subscription I would look at a couple of issue first before decide to commit to a subscription . I have look at Vogue Paris at the bookstore and I like it better than the US version . the only issue I really like be the fashion issue although I wish some item of not super expensive clothing could also be include . +497 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 if you have any business interest or any entrepreneurial flame , this magazine be for you . each month entrepreneur come out with incredible content that will keep you read for hour . unlike most magazine in which you may read a couple article , Entrepreneur have succeed in make virtually 90 % of each issue worthwhile . as a small business owner , a student , and a entrepreneur by heart , I give this magazine 5 star , hand down . +377 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I think this magazine would be full of page about antique with picture , explanation of the item and possible value .

I love those map as a kid ! note , I have not receive a fold out map yet , so I be eagerly await my first one . -lrb- I be debate whether I should decorate my wall with they -rrb- . but even those within the magazine itself be fantastic : they be clear , and give a wealth of information . the January issue have a clear map on the Amazon , which include area of forest , area of deforestation , area of urbanization , forest fire , road , protect area and area with indigenous community . now as a adult , I actually read the article , and not just flip through the picture and gaze at the map . other reviewer be correct , the article have a ` chatty tone ' and be definitely for laypeople , but this be not a bad thing . in fact , I find it refreshing after spend all my time at work now and at formerly at school reading jargon . after all , who be a expert on the human heart , the Amazon , elephant herd , undersea worm , cosmic star , nigerian oil , and hummingbird all at once ? and these be simply some of the story cover in the January , February and March 2007 issue ! NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC introduce a whole host of subject in a intelligent , thoughtful fashion : its not mean to be a Ph.

I can not wait to end my subscription . I subscribe this magazine for 2 time , and every time be hope to read something more `` educational '' . but , I be disappointed . +27 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 I subscribe to this magazine for a short time . I be interested in the conservative perspective on political issue . I get bore with the magazine after a few week . though I do not often disagree with the political view present , I find most of the essay far too short and lack in-depth discussion of either current event or the conservative slant . I would personally prefer a magazine that be more unabashed about go into great detail about the why of issue and event , something that spend more time explain and defend its position . the writer for the Weekly Standard seem to take it for grant that they reader be in complete agreement with they , and bypass argument , effectively go straight to conservative vent about political issue . there be a place in the world for publication like this , but it be not quite what I have in mind . +125 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 I subscribe to Analog last year , and do not renew my subscription . I love hard science fiction . why only two star ? because some of the story be very , very bad . the editor seem to place story that have a good concept , but be write poorly . for good consistent enjoyable reading , may I recommend Fantasy and Science Fiction ? excellent story last year , I never throw it across the room -lrb- that do happen with Analog btw -rrb- , and there be always a story that I go to see if there be anything else to read by that author . update January 2013 - my experience with the year I subscribe to be so poor I still have not try this ` zine again . +865 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 ok , this be major league journalism and if you want a leftist progressive perspective it be about as good as it get . but what turn I off -- even though I still reluctantly read it -- be the level of cynicism that typically pervade its page . it ought to be call `` Sardonica . '' no matter what , they will criticize , they will find fault , they will give reason for despair . sometimes the editor rise out of it , as when they do a article on how capitalism might be save in which they include the brilliant thought of a number of well-spoken visionary . but in general the cynicism drag it down . there be also a kind of stylish decadence about it , a undercurrent of futility . I mean , when GWB be elect , all the conservative publication be like `` here be we chance . let 's make the most of it . '' Obama 's have not even serve a year yet and Harper 's have already run a feature article about how he be go to fail . with friend like that , who need ... Harper 's ! +127 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 i order the magazine a month ago and have not receive the first issue yet so i can not review it ! +633 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 it be funny because I do not realize how useless this magazine be for I until i read some of the other review here . I be about half-way through a already pay for 2-year subscription to this magazine . I always make sure to keep my copy of each issue because somehow it feel like it hold some important information that will propel I forward as a entrepreneur . I have they website list in my favorite . cause I be a big time businessman who get a magazine call `` entrepreneur '' for entrepreneur like myself . yeah right ! the truth of the matter be the magazine be perfectly stack and in mint condition because as soon as I have flip through it once , subconsciously I realize there be nothing of value there . a lot of ad with get-rich quick scheme . a list of 500 franchise . blah blah blah . Business 2.0 , wire , Inc. , fast company , Investor 's Business Daily , The Wall Street Journal . these be the business magazine and newspaper that give today 's entrpreneur a thorough guide to `` the jungle '' . entrepreneur ? just a fancy-sounding title . and soon to be a stack in the recycle bin . and as far as motivation go , I get more by flip through a issue of Robb Report than I have ever get by read any one article in Entrepreneur . +427 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 it be okay if u love pop music . but definately dont come here if u in here for the poster unless u want britney spear . they do though have good gossip and embaress momment lot of stuff to read but its not my fav magazine +788 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 I first look at the sample report online . it be great -- lot of useful information to prepare for retirement , include some very good investment idea . so I subscribe , and have now receive several issue . there be sometimes some good information , but for the most part it be worthless . for example , in the January 2011 isue , 4 out of 20 page be dedicate to turbulent time for long term care insurance that read more like a news article than true advice for what I should do . another 4 page be full page ad for bank , investment product , etc. . the rest be what I would call useless fluff . by the way , Kiplinger , I be pay for this report -- why so many ad ? anyhow , there be usually some semi-useful info in the report , but definitely not worth the cost . +708 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 vogue be full of ad . I pick this magazine up and I do not start get to the article until I be a fourth through the thing . I find the article quite boring and not informative at all . one good thing about Vogue be the photo be pretty artistic and you get a idea of how fashion be art , but that be about all I get out of it . so , if you like advertisment this mag be for you . +775 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this be my favorite magazine . interesting and insightful article that give I a better understanding of we complex world . highly recommend ! +655 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I have be buy this mag since its inception , I have save many of the issue because the info have be extremely helpful for my guitar playing and be able to read about the pro that i listen to , how they write , play , what they use for equipment have be intertain and informative . they have recently make change in format and write mostly for the better . I espeally apreceate they have more on song writing . as far as i be concerned this be the best guitar mag out there and i be a guitar magazine junky enjoy . John M. Eadie +559 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 in the several year since my retirement , I have come to wait by my trusty old rust metal mailbox around the third or fourth of every month , wait for my monthly issue of two magazine , the Atlantic monthly and Harpers . each in iut own way be likely the best amalgam of intellectual article on a variety of subject one can find in contemporary America , and each feature a stable of highly regard writer and author . for good reason ; from subject as arcane as the suppose imminent fall of the soviet union base on demographic and economic analysis in the mid-1980 to the recent synopsis of former spy Robert Baer regard the evil of deal with the highly corrupted saudi regime , the magazine consistently offer a erudite , informative , and provocative look at aspect of contemporary reality one can not find elsewhere . needless to say , I really enjoy read Harpers , especially under the guidance of editor Lewis lapham , and its article often lead I on Amazon search for tome by the talented author , which in the case of say author Robert Baer , or perpetually sagacious satirist P.J. O'Rourke , or a whole raft of noteable other . all of they lead to some worthwhile reading experience indeed . it avoid the trendy , so we be spare the suffer through the latest and greatest mass experience in favor of intellectual road less travel , be grassy and rather wont of wear , make for better and more satisfying travel , whether trudge through the snow with my Wintertime Dunham Tyroleans or pad down grassy field in my summertime birkenstock . just keep on trucking ! enjoy ! +129 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 people be always complain about the ad . well guess what , vogue be not a magazine to READ . it be a magazine to look at . and that be my reason for be such a loyal subscriber . I love fashion , and I love look at the ad , judge outfit and model , compare and contrastiong . I be a aspiring fashion designer -lrb- among many other talent -rrb- and Vogue be my key source to what go into my portfolio . so many ad with high fashion , cut out what you like , arrange , and paste it to show you creativity . it be all about the clothing . though it sure be a bit degrading . Media image portrayal on woman be depict ; model typically be emanciate and tall symbolize beauty and everything else . be all fashion , Vogue surround this world of the impossible `` ideal '' , from a cover with the ghastly yoga super model Chrity turlington -lrb- who be feature bent in all abnormal way wear a skimpy yoga thong thing . \* intense therepy \* -rrb- to ad with the new `` it model '' . so be carefull not to get suck into the `` ideal '' vogue and fashion promote . in conclusion . if you just want literature , invest you money in the new yorker . +209 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I like Asimov better than ANALOG , but that be kind of like say that I like strawberry better than chocolate or vanilla . it be a matter of personel taste .

I go to a guitar store and try out a couple of they and be very disappointed with some of they selection . they be pure junk . with that in mind , I have no confidence in they review and they magazine . I receive the issue 1-2 month before the cover date . that be ok but the web link to the listen clip be not active at that time . by the time the cover date come around I have move on . do not waste you money on this magazine . +648 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 though the magazine do have the MLM and `` you to can get Rich '' article , it have validity . you can do anything if you find the right thing , something you passionate about . I have find the article may not always fit my exact situation , but I can extract what be meaningful or useful to fit my unique situation or business need . be not that the main goal here ? you have to find it , no one be go to hand it to you . do the research and the work and ask for mentoring . follow up on the lead and idea they give you . I truly enjoy this magazine . Carpe Diem . +883 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 I have be a enthusiastic reader of Dwell for a couple of year . I like it for it be focus on modern housing and home product . I have become bore with some of the content aim at teaching reader about product design and commercial building . I be interested mainly in article about modern home , interior , landscape and furniture . I be also tire of have environmentalism cram down my throat . I be not look for a political viewpoint ; just a good magazine about Modern home . I be go to subscribe to atomic Ranch instead . +345 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 one of my favorite magazine by far . a fantastic review on modern and green design and architecture , as well as interesting idea for innovation and home design . definitely a must-read ! +439 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I order this magazine for my granddaughter last summer . no issue ever arrive . I learn this many month later when I ask my granddaughter how she like it . when I call the magazine , I be tell they would send one or two replacement . they never arrive either . I would not order from they again . +16 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 I wrestle between 2 and 3 star . in the end , when I flip through entrepreneur I be usually disappoint . inevitably there will be some helpful info but there be other magazine that offer much more in content and layout that be in the same price range -lrb- ex : Inc , fast company , maybe wire -rrb- . +917 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I be shock at the nasty comment about Catholic Digest here . this be a publication that have serve Catholics in the U.S. for well over fifty year . this angry bias against they be unfonded and untrue . it be a `` digest '' of some of the best reading for Catholics albeit a `` digest '' so why would one expect something else when you subscribe ? i enjoy receive it each month . besides , it be the only magazine I find my teenage niece reading in my house ! I think that speak volume !!! thank you catholic Digest for remain faithful in you service to Catholics who actually read magazine for enjoyment and pleasure . p.s. no magazine do not sell its list to worthy organization . if you do not want to get these mail offer , tell the magazine and they will remove you from the list offer to other . +408 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I love the magazine , but once you subscribe ... you get inundate with all kind of offer . I feel like the magazine be a gimmick to get I on they mailing list ... and all they friend . I finally have to quit take it ... then all the other offer stop . +75 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I be one of those people who love spoiler , the more the merrier . if anything , I think it could use more spoiler , and less article about they and they house , or thing like that , lol . +25 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 receive first issue of this magazine and be surprise that it be not the regular magazine size it be more of a pocket size . great size for travel with . +192 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 Entrepreneur magazine be a great magazine . why do I have to wait two month get my first issue ? I make my order on 9\/01\/08 and I have to wait until 11\/17\/08 . +725 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 it be true that Entrepreneur mag be load with ad -- but those ad can be interesting in themselves . I always find it fascinating to see what ad pop and what ad be junk -- and it be easy to see the difference . this be a opportunity to develop you own advertising strategy ! as for the content , there be certainly room for improvement . I personally enjoy the entrepreneur profile , though I wish they be longer . I would like to see more meat here . have be in business for several year now , I find the most value in this magazine come from the front section where they list interesting tip , new product , and survey result . not a month go by that I do not bookmark a page so I can follow up on a new product or check out a website mention in a short piece . for that alone , the low subscription price be worth the investment . there be a lot of information on franchise , which be great for those interested in this business model . though this be not my personal cup of tea , I still find it interesting to read the list of franchise and notice the trend in popularity . who know there be so many pet service franchise available ! sure , it could use more real-world advice , but I still consider this one of the best general magazine available for entrepreneur . not every topic can appeal to every reader since we all run different kind of business and seek different information . if you be look for something more specific to you industry , a trade magazine would make more sense . but I still recommend you keep you entrepreneur mag too so you can keep a eye on the climate of the small biz world . +969 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 in my humble opinion National Geographic be just a shadow of the once great magazine it once be . I have the unfortunate experience of deal with the ng staff try to turn off the repetitive and persistent renewal notice and encounter a bunch of bureaucratic moron . it be a shame there be no longer integrity in the management of the the magazine . remember , you ask . +293 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I be a thirteen year old boy who be life revolve around fashion . I have ton and ton of magazine subscription , maybe ten ? but vogue be probably my favorite . everyone think it be just a fashion magazine , but it be so much more . it have everything someone need , adult or teen . the fashion section be absolutely fantastic . a lot of people want to see clothes that they cant afford in a magazine , it make they feel good . and the vogue article be very brilliant . I highly recommend 110\/100 . +222 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 its a pretty good magazine . I mean it mostly about celebrity gossip and all but also a litte tiny bit about normal girl . the picture be great and so be the photo ! +407 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 a old favorite with adul and kid - informative , amazing picture , fact and a eye opener to the world we live in ! these be good for project , reference , and many other research source ... . a real life mag . . that spark question and interest - a teaching tool , not a cute home decor manual ! +626 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 while I love the magazine , I have have problem get the issue deliver . this have also happen when I try to subscribe by phone and over the internet . they can not seem to get it right . when a customer want to pay , why make it difficult for he ? and since I do pay a subscription ... , why be I still have trouble get all the issue ? customer service be not a phrase in they vocabulary . +484 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 that be what j-14 stand for . it be for teens pretty much yes . if you like gossip , poster , and info on you favorite celeb , music , and movie . I just start collect they last September and I think they good . I do not care abou the gossip that much but I like the rest of it . I be sick of see those kid off of High School musical though . I wish they would take they out of the magazine . especially Zac Efron ... blech . they good magazine though . +521 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I order this loong time ago , still have not receive it . but when I have it year ago , it be a very interesting read . +686 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 after all these year , nobody do it better than National Geographic ! expensive ? well , if I be buy it for myself , yes . give it as a gift , what a great gift !! please , somebody , give this to I as a gift !! the color , the photography , the subject matter , the everything ... maybe I be wrong , maybe they still be do it just as good , or even better after all these year . gradually perfect the art of exploration . I recommend this magazine to anyone and ` Explorer ' to any and all child . +233 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I be a conservative -lrb- but lately more of a libertarian -rrb- but Harper 's be my favorite magazine . it have honest political commentary , hard to find these day , that I do not always agree with but concede that the argument be often compelling . the short story be usually great , and the book review better than most . a favorite feature be `` finding '' a short list of recent and bizarre scientific finding . I read it aloud to my family -lrb- and yes they enjoy it and look forward to each issue , too -rrb- . sometimes the editorial be a bit cynical but they be almost as likely to trash the Democrats as the Republicans -lrb- a healthy sign since I feel both party have be co-opt by special interest -rrb- . you will also get news here without commentary , such as transcript from Guantanamo , bizarre and revealing email , and recently discover correspondence from unlikely political leader . all without commentary so you avoid the usual media attempt at control you opinion . sure , I might occasionally get mad at or ignore some author , but I have find life be not as fun without this magazine . +394 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this be the best fashion magazine to keep I up to date on thing I do not want to miss out on : the latest style , the most interesting people , new beauty product and technique that I might not know about . I love the advertisement , too . the photograph be gorgeous ! the model be beautiful . I study everything from cover to cover . highly recommend this . I can not imagine not get it every month -- I do not want to miss anything !! +638 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 National Geographic have be the one of the iconic staple magazine in american home since its first publication in October of 1888 . since then , the trademark yellow border -lrb- around the edge of the cover -rrb- have be a familiar sight to many , if not most Americans . but , exactly , what be the National Geographic magazine ? it be a publication of the National Geographic Society , a nonprofit scientific and educational organization `` for the increase and diffusion of geographic knowledge '' whose goal be `` inspiring people to care about the planet . '' the National Geographic Society also publish other magazine similar to National Geographic but direct toward a specific audience . these magazine include : National Geographic Traveler , National Geographic Kids , National Geographic Little Kids , National Geographic Explorer , National Geographic Young Explorer , and National Geographic Extreme Explorer . National Geographic be a monthly magazine that provide informative article about geography , popular science , world history , current event , and technology for a wide audience of reader . another hallmark of National Geographic be the magnificent photography that fill each issue . the photography be excellent , often breathtaking . half , full , two-page spread , and three-page pull out section throughout the magazine be more than insightful . these picture offer the average National Geographic reader a view of the world , through the lens of a camera , from remote place where they be not likely to travel . each issue have one or two feature article , which be longer and more in-depth , and many secondary article that add interesting tidbit to one perspective on life . another notable aspect of National Geographic be that the bulk of the advertisement be typically find at the beginning and end of the magazine as oppose to intersperse throughout . this help to keep the article de-cluttered and minimize distraction for the reader . National Geographic be a very popular magazine . accord to Amazon.com , it be rate number one in history magazine , number one in travel and regional magazine , and number one in science in nature subcategory nature and ecology magazine . its popularity speak for its influence . and why be it so influential ? it be so influential because of its revered excellence . the name National Geographic be equate with scholarly excellence and accuracy . National Geographic be world-renowned for they top-notch research and exploration which go into each quality article and accompany picture . the nation , and the world , have accept National Geographic as the standard of excellence in society . they accuracy and truth in the information that be present can not be argue with . for the validity of they reporting , I can hardly find fault with the maker of National Geographic . one aspect of the magazine , however , do concern I to a degree . National Geographic do have a very bias slant which be part-liberal , part-evolutionary and part-environmental extremist . as with almost all research and report these day , it have a definite stance on subject ; it be a slant that be , for the most part , very evident in they writing . they present they perspective on a story which may or may not be the correct perspective . National Geographic magazine be also extremely , and blatantly , evolutionary in bias and thought . the author and editor make no secret that this worldview fill the magazine 's page . in the February 2010 issue , a article title `` Hubble , renew '' state that the `` universe itself be but 13.7 billion year old . '' in addition , many article frequently refer to both human and animal evolution . interestingly , however , when describe other natural phenomenon , such as the symbiotic-like relationship of clownfish and coral , they do not mention how such a relationship could evolve . do not get I wrong , I be not say that National Geographic be wrong or incorrect because they put they bias in they article . on the contrary , people be free to say what they like and to put it in print for all of the world to see -lrb- such as I be do now -rrb- . this be one of the freedom grant to we as Americans ; it be the freedom of speech . however , I be say that a person , depend on they conviction , should be careful about which source they get they news or research from depend on whether or not they regard it as truth . the fact be , as much as any of we would like to believe it , sometimes we can not prove the thing we believe in , or disprove the thing that we do not . all we can do be take the knowledge that we gain from various different source to create we own insight on life . it be important for we to realize , however , that bias , even slight one , can creep into we life and become a significant influence , either for good or for bad . in addition , people should have experience with many different view on life 's issue . this be beneficial at time when he or she be confront with a conversation or debate which discuss those particular issue . if we want to intelligently converse about issue , we have to know the fact of those issue . as a whole , I think that National Geographic be a very informative and interesting magazine that offer I insight into aspect of area that I would not otherwise necessarily explore . in that sense , it broaden my scope on life and expose I to many fascinating thing . it be also a magazine that be , for the most part , reliable and trustworthy . however , while I read with curiosity , I also read with a evaluatory mindset . not everything be exact truth , but it might not be bogus either . Articles use for review : February 2010 -lrb- polygamy in America : one man , five wife , 46 child -rrb- , January 2010 -lrb- merge man and machine : the bionic age -rrb- , and December 2009 -lrb- be we alone ? : searching the Heavens for another Earth -rrb- . Alecia Gray +11 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 the Weekly Standard be the propaganda arm for billionaire who want all we money , creationist who be too afraid to face obvious fact of science , and endless war for the benefit of military contractor . read its article purport to connect al Qaeda to Iraq before the invasion . it be a sad , funny attempt to create connection that no one else have be able to find . be they present cut edge journalism , or simply fabricate fact to fit they pro-war agenda ? decide for yourself . +296 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 if you look for new and creative food to tickle the taste-bud , this be it . it have lot of great recipe 's from sauce , meat 's , appetizer , drink and much much more . I wish this come out every month . +544 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 my good friend give I a subscription to ng as a gift -- and what a wonderful idea it be ! of course I have be long familiar with it , and always pick it up in a doctor 's lobby or in a train station wait room , but have my own issue to pore over as long as I want be a real treat . also , I frequently donate item I be not use to Goodwill , Vietnam Veterans , and other organization , and old issue of ng be the only old magazine these charity will take . they can still sell they , no matter the age . that be quite a testament to National Geo . the magazine be beautiful , enlighten , and wide-ranging in its topic and the photograph retain they world-class reputation . a outstanding gift idea . +249 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I order it because they send I a subscription card for $ 12 ... luckily that be all I pay . you might appreciate this magazine if you be in you forty , have 5 child , be a doctor or lawyer , and thrive on statistics . every issue focus on compare we to other city , primarily New York , and be a general bear . there be nothing one could actually utilize , or would want to , in the entertainment\/restaurant section . I have never be so eager for a subscription to end . I can not believe Amazon suggest buy this along with Time out Chicago , who I have turn to for real information , colorful interview , and article that honestly do feel like Chicago do . Yuck ... all the focus on rich people make I want to puke . why do not they count up some statistics on how many Chicagoans actually fit you sickeningly rich profile ? 5 percent ? they March issue explain that a d-i-n-k couple make a combined $ 120,000 a year struggle just as much as a single mother make $ 15,000 base on they choice really top it off : this magazine be out of touch . +485 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 I do believe that j-14 be not for just any aged teen like it publicize . I think the interest of the reader stop at the age of at least 15 -lrb- and that be push it ! -rrb- . after turn about 15 , j-14 become to be a bit too juvenile . I would recommend this magazine to girl between the age of 11-15 . +746 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 First of all , be french I have always be use to french Vogue and I be expect the same . except that the american vogue be all trashy , full of celebrity and there be almost nothing related to models\/fashion . Second of all , if you subscribe to they be ready to receive the 3 previous issue . I subscribe in January 2013 , when they February issue be already out and receive November , December and January issue -lrb- the same day ! -rrb- . so although I pay for 12 issue , I will actually receive only 9 -lrb- new -rrb- issue . what a nice way for they to get rid of the unsold issue !

I always find something new to learn from National Geographic . this be also a current heirloom of sort ...

I have always love they article and picture . Writers do a good job of explain they topic or wording they story . I do not care for the occasional plug for evolution , but I just ignore that . -lrb- I be not one of those people who believe the world be create in six 24 hour period , but I do believe that there be a higher intelligence involve in set all this up for we . -rrb- the topic be many and vary . there be always something about animal , and I like to learn about they , the earth , geology , history , etc. . ng be a great medium for learn about this and the natural science .

Stories about wildlife , different culture , and even environmentalism and the politics it breed can be find on the page within each issue . what make this magazine so enjoyable be the fact that it go so in - depth in its coverage and include story with a personal element . when most people think about National Geographic , they usually think about the great photograph of natural wonder , exotic plant , and animal wildlife . these thing be all great , but they form only part of the magazine 's overall appeal . Stories about different culture and people from around the world be just as good , and be usually present in a personal way . you feel like you know the people on a intimate level when you read this magazine . this publication contain between 120 and 160 page in most issue , with about a dozen or so monthly department , as well as some varied article that change each month , but be always concentrate on nature , science , politics , culture , etc. .

I love the `` Modern Market '' section in the back of the magazine , deal with unique product that be well target to the fan of the contemporary aesthetic . my only minor complaint be the occasional political agenda that appear in the article , but it be relatively infrequent and confine to only a few -lrb- of a large number -rrb- of the contributor , like Pagan Kennedy . in general , though , the article stay on topic and the editorial content be relevant and appropriately focus . I look forward to get several design magazine every month , but can honestly say that `` Dwell '' be my favorite of the bunch . I highly recommend it to anyone interested in contemporary architecture or design . +404 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this magazine be the Architectural Record of ` building for people ' , instead of ` building for architect ' . they exemplify how sustainablity be bring back humanity to architecture , through a mind set , not a building style . to the editor of Dwell - you keep female architect in the profession with you inspiration for change . thank you . +42 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 Chicago magazine be once a wonderful resource to I as a Chicagoan ... but not now . hip , savy and younger -lrb- 25-40 -rrb- be no longer the target audience . for over two year this magazine be my main resource for learn about , event , restaraunt , club , opening . now , this magazine be just a glorified version of the Chicago Tribune ... it be owner . both the magazine and the paper will have the same information for `` hot new club '' , `` great eat '' , 10 thing to do under $ 40 . it be a rip off for those of we that live here and those travel here . but even worse it tend to focus on the suburb . if Chicago be not a thrive , wonderful city ... no one would want to live here . +953 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 Scholastic Parent & Child be a good magazine that strive to educate parent on specific issue regard the raising of they child . this publication aim to offer advice and suggestion on way to teach you child better , deal with crisis , etc. , as you raise you child from birth through the early teenage year .

Scholastic Parent and Child want concerned parent to have the best information from the most reputable source , in order to make the best decision possible for you family , so its writer work hard to make sure they include the latest finding . another nice quality with Scholastic Parent and Child be that the article be not aim solely at child . often , parent have concern of they own , such as balancing work and home , change career , seek reprieve from the challenge of parenthood , etc. . because of this , the magazine strive to include article aim at adult among its many department and section . yes , there be usually a family theme behind these article , but it be still nice that the magazine realize the importance of have a healthy adult to raise a happy , healthy child . . parenting magazine serve a important purpose and Scholastic Parent & Child be a very good publication about raise kid , educate , deal with crisis , and have fun . this magazine cover a wide range of topic and while I would like it better if it offer more frequent publication and a few more page in each issue , it be still a very good magazine for family with child age twelve and under . +673 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 there be a time when liberalism have a connotation of deep thinking , tolerance , and openness to healthy , civil debate . no longer . and HARPER 's be a perfect symbol for all that ail the leave . to call this magazine `` leave lean '' be a farce . it do not lean ... it completely , totally , enthusiastically , and blindly tumble and fall into the `` far leave '' swamp . the tone be often hysterically and shrilly partisan , reflect the ongoing deafness and disconnection that the leftist media elite have towards the mainstream of America . the quality of the writing and feature selection have decline precipitously through recent year . this rag be about as credible now as the guardian , NATIONAL ENQUIRER , or , come to think of it , the New York TIMES ! save you money , LOL ! +976 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 Disclaimer up front : I have have three novel serialize in analog -lrb- nebula winner the terminal experiment ; Hugo and Nebula nominee starplex ; and the just-completed hominid -rrb- . but I be also a long-time reader of the magazine -lrb- 28 year now -rrb- , and I love it . the fiction be real sf -- story in which the science be accurate and the speculation credible . but I also love the editorial by Stanley Schmidt ; the `` alternate View '' column by Jeff Kooistra and John Cramer -lrb- some of the best science write available anywhere these day -rrb- , the spirited letters-to-the-editor section , and Tom Easton 's book review . this be the number-one bestselling science-fiction magazine in the world , and justly so . +644 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 Conde Nast deserve zero star for begin my subscription to two of they magazine with outdated material .

I guess the Editors feel there be no point in expand the one good section this brochure do have . I would recommend you save you money and not subscribe to this publication . I suggest , instead , you subscribe to a real magazine with information you can use every month Kiplinger 's Personal Finance a much superior publication for half the price . +646 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 Cowboys & Indians magazine be a beautiful magazine from start to finish . interesting editorial , photography that will take you breath away , and new fashion , music & art - all of which truly express the culture of the West . regardless of whether or not you be a `` cowboy '' or a `` indian '' , this be one magazine subscription you must have - you will not be disappointed ! +384 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 AMAZON ALWAYS have the right price on all the magazine .

I wish these publication would be honest about what kind of deal be cut to get the people they have on they cover . +41 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 under the supreme tutelage of Editor Lewis Lapham , Harper 's Magazine consistently churn out intense , dramatic , sincere , frightening , uplifting , and challenging commentary . if other in the media censor they opinion in the face of big brother , Harper 's make up for it with brutally honest assessment of culture , politics , and world affair . at first look , Harper 's seem a leftist publication , but if you read it a little more carefully , it be a lot more Mark Twain than Karl Marx . I would call it centrist , but even that imply straddle the center between two extreme . like Twain , Harper 's be more of a somewhat irascible , yet always care voice on the outside , not on one end of the spectrum or another , but rather on a different spectrum altogether . the attitude be egalitarian , never pompous . the voice be reasonable , if sometimes angry or alarmed . Harper 's be definitely not a liberal magazine in the sense of marxist socialism . Harper 's be liberal in the sense of jeffersonian liberalism . it be opinion seem more focus on improve local culture and economy and challenge the demagogue and central planner who seek to control the mass , be they Democrat or Republican . perhaps Harper 's be the Jim Jeffords of the magazine world . Harper 's be a eloquent and impassioned magazine that deliver carefully construct and inventive view of the world each month . there be a overriding sense of seriousness and genuine compassion find in every issue . in a world where so many media source be merely parrot for a larger corporate or political agenda , Harper 's stand out as a autonomous voice of indignant opposition to censorship and blind nationalism . if you care about the world we all inhabit and genuinely want to discover how we might all get to a better place , give Harper 's a read . it may not provide the answer , but it certainly raise all the right question . +155 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 for a little while I be confuse with the article selection . it seem they be pick some piece that be not really about geography , sociology , or history . more like current event . but the last year or two they have be on track with solid story and spectacular photography . I be more impressed with Smithsonian for awhile , but they new format be laughable -lrb- you can read my update 3 star review at the Amazon listing : Smithsonian -lrb- 1-year automatic renewal -rrb- . National Geographic have take its place as top world history\/sociology magazine again . the story may be less flesh out than some other magazine . these guy be definitely about the picture . but the picture usually serve a purpose . they be not just glossy and pretty . look in a recent issue about global warming and population increase in Bangladesh , the picture illustrate the point of the story : the struggle of many impoverished citizen in a country in the grip of climate change . the story have get less ` preachy ' and do not tend to berate folk for not do everything they can to help those in need . instead the story tend to show both outlook on a divide issue without paint one in a bad light . of course , the reader can usually infer from the nature of the story the outlook that Nat Geo favor . it be a highly liberal magazine focus on conservation , but that be what they have be about for year , so it should not surprise anyone . I highly recommend this magazine for those folk look for great story on a variety of topic pertain to nature , history , and people . +892 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this be a great magazine for any young entrepreneur , I definitely recommend it . you could find many good idea on it . +98 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 interview be a small magazine with big ambition . all the latest news in entertainment , fashion , and politics can be find within it be colorful page . the photography be amazing , and grand in scale , although the magazine be packed full of ad -lrb- which be equally as colorful I might add -rrb- . this be not entertainment weekly - interview be the indi-film of magazine , and the people and film it cover be not usually those find in typical magazine . instead of focus on the actor du jour , Interview cover the up & come , the soon to be , and the undiscovered . the interview format be fascenate and unique , as most be do by celebrity , of celebrity . if one be look for typical hollywood gossip , Warhol 's masterpiece be not for they . at such a cheap price , Interview be a gem that be yet undiscovered by many . I highly recommend it ! +754 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 ... be because of these magazine . if it be not for all the publicity surround the image hype of the arist who have pic in every issue they would not be so famous . do you actually CARE who Justin be date or who he have a crush on ? do you actually care if Eminem like Pink ? do you want to look at the same old b2k picture for the umpth time ? please . ever hear of read something intellectual like Newsweek or the New York Times ? probably not . f - +986 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 always have love geographic and hope it will be welcome as a holiday gift . you never know with magazine subscription , but Geographic be a case of its own . +798 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 after about two month of recieve this magazine I return it . it just wasnt what I be hope for .

I love Vogue 's photography and I really like the fact that they often publish photo that push the envelope , then someone will write a letter to the editor in a fury , and Vogue will publish the photo again - little tiny this time - right by they little letter . but c'mon now - what other fashion magazine can you read that also talk art , politics , and food ? yes , even people who can keep they food down like this magazine . Jeffery Steingarten be informative and entertaining , Irving Penn be a genius , the art direction be chic and smart , and the editor do a great job keep a instituion alive and modern . +895 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I be disappointed because I order the magazine on March 12 and will not receive it til June 6 . if I have know ahead of time that it would take this long I would have order the magazine thru another vendor . totally disappoint . +802 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 its good to browse at cause of all the latest style but that really it . it be nutn great +724 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 this magazine be more creative and necessary back in the day . bring back the large format , even if it be print on non-glossy newsprint page , the picture be gorgeous & the interview actually interesting . the best interview now be by other celebrity , less promotion than flow conversation between creative people . << -lrb- the magazine be now more commercial and glossy , the photo be not provocative . i will continue to be a fan , not a fanatic . where be the art ? where be the style ? +361 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 it be wonderful to see a magazine that focus on the acoustic guitar player . so many magazine seem to zero in primarily on the electric guitarist and rock\/metal artist . this magazine have a bit of everything . interview with musician of various genre , music with notation and tab , and tip on different guitar technique . it be a great way to get to know artist whom I have never hear of before and seek out they music to listen to . I do not subscribe to this magazine -lrb- I be a coffee shop magazine buyer -rrb- , but I do buy it frequently . I be a new guitarist who own two acoustic guitar . +178 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I have always like National Geographic magazine but have not subscribe for many year .

I do not understand anyone complain a few advertisement in the front of the back of the magazine . National Geographic nver have and have no ad at all within the main editorial feature of the magazine . Photography be extraordinary . how they continue to achieve such powerful and engrossing image in today 's age be amazing . it be about to celebrate its 125th year . +705 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I have be interested in fashion ever since I can remember - the top quality leather accessory that spring up from the page of glossy magazine , the feel of soft silk on my skin , the delicate but protective texture of a Burberry raincoat . I could go on and on . I remember the first fashion magazine that ever stand out among all other of its kind in my eye be a edition of french Vogue , which feature Akira Kurosawa on its cover , just as he be put the finish touch on he masterpiece `` ran '' . although Vogue 's french edition be still my favorite -lrb- closely follow by british Vogue , the resource use by my long time icon Princess Diana -rrb- , now that I live in America , I subscribe to the american version of the magazine , which have be run for decade by allege `` devil '' Anna Wintour . these day Vogue still do not disappoint in its content , although the quality of the paper it be print on could certainly use some improvement - I much prefer the glossy stock british `` Red '' be print on . but the magazine do count among its contributor with the best photographer out there , such as Patrick Demarchelier and my personal favorite , Annie Leibovitz , and the best writer and ad consultant in the business . within a year and a half apart , I can speak with high regard of my two favorite issue : the first one be the one from March 2009 , which feature we brand new first lady of the time , Michelle Obama , and the most recent one from September 2010 , a huge , 700 page + issue , with Halle Berry on the cover , and companion of Vogue 's annual event `` Fashion 's Night out '' . the former be entitle `` The Power Issue '' , and it include in-depth profile of philanthropist and world-known personality like Queen Rania of Jordan , First Lady of France Carla Bruni-Sarkozy and billionaire Melinda Gates . each of these woman have a powerful message to bring to Vogue 's reader attention , be it woman 's issue , political issue and aid give to less developed country through entity like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation . the picture of Michelle Obama and the one of Queen Rania , in a white embellished Dries Van Notten shirt be my favorite . the latter edition have one of the most luxurious collection of photograph and advertisement , but it also include a very personal narrative about the consequence of the oil disaster in the gulf of Mexico by a writer that spend a large part of she childhood in it . I enjoy the profile on Charlotte Casiraghi , Princess Caroline of Monaco 's daughter , in all she equestrian regalia design by Gucci exclusively for she . what I like about Vogue be that it be a publication that manage to cover every single subject , health , environmental issue , fashion , gardening , art , film , book , architecture and , of course , fashion , with style and panache . the photo montage of the advertisement be - literally - out of this world , and one can only imagine must have take week to prepare . even minimalistic detail have send I more than once on expedition to store on the lookout for that one item I see in the magazine , usually priceless due to its uniqueness . vogue still be , and I have a feeling will keep be , my personal favorite . now if they could only do something about the paper it be print on ... +461 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 very good deal on National Geographic . practically free . keep you eye on `` AUTO RENEW '' it be a default setting with many Amazon subscription . it may be remove if you like . +481 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 I be '' -lrb- l -rrb- iterary , brainy , and left-leaning , '' and I be sure I 'll really enjoy my issue once _ Harper 's _ stop send I the old issue from its warehouse . but it frustrate I no end to find yet another outdated issue in my mailbox and to have Harper 's ignore my request to update my subscription . I subscribe on November 22 . my first issue arrive , as Amazon tell I it would , a few week later . that first issue be the November 2005 issue -- the one I would buy at my local bookstore when it come out two month earlier . there be advertisement in that issue for Christmas television program , and the deadline for submit the puzzle be early December . so it be clearly a outdated issue . and I go to the subscriber service page on the magazine 's website to get the date of my subscription update to reflect my unwillingness to accept old issue as part of my subscription . -lrb- the date of expiration on my mailing label , by the way , be November 2006 -- so this be no simple mail room error . -rrb- no response from _ Harper 's _ . three day ago , I find the February 2006 issue wait for I .

I subscribe for a year -lrb- I have be play acoustic for 4 year -rrb- before I let my subscription lapse . why do I let it lapse ? well , for starter , the lack of a good digital edition be a factor . but more important , like all publication , Acoustic Guitar depend on advertiser for its existence . naturally , it feature review of guitar , accessory , electronics , etc. , in every issue . but , unlike in more reputable publication , these review be worthless , because they be always good review ! every guitar have a nice warm sound . every accessory would be a great Christmas gift . can you imagine if movie review be write this way -lrb- focus only on the good thing , and ignore the problem ? -rrb- Ebert would be give every movie two thumb up . or , if Consumer Reports rating every product the same -lrb- everything be a Editors ' choice ! -rrb- . the bottom line : Acoustic Guitar Magazine be a shill for its advertiser , plain and simple . -lrb- this problem seem pervasive in the music world . while Amazon be great and allow negative review , other online music store do not allow negative review . -rrb- +721 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 when one consider a subscription to Harper 's , it may be a good idea to spot check one 's core belief first , and then compare they against the editorial slant of the magazine . in the brief product review , Harper 's be describe as liberal and left-leaning . in my opinion , if it be to lean any farther , it would topple over . I have subscribe to Harper 's for several year now , and will continue to do so when my current subscription run out in the spring . over this time , I have be continually impress with the magazine 's consistancy and broad range article . it also seem to believe that its reader have longer attention span than what it take to read a postage stamp , and so it be never feel the need to follow the current trend of waste two or more introductory page cram full of paragraph-sized teaser article and sidebar . -lrb- see National Geographic , Scientific American , American Scholar , and just about the entire issue of the writer -rrb- . in any give issue of Harper 's , you will find : the index - a collection of statistics that tell they own story , the reporter 's Notebook - a spotlight soapbox , reading - a collection of short essay , fiction , memoir , transcript , etc. of wide and vary interest , review of New Books , a critical in-depth essay on some facet of Art or Literature , fiction , a memoir or a travelogue , and cover story that address the political and social climate in America . I do not agree with everything Harper 's put forth - as I say , they politics be plainly wear on they sleeve , and I think the reporter 's Notebook column be little more than a forum for gripe by a revolving coterie of journalist . at time elitist -lrb- though far less since Lewis Lapham 's influence have wane -rrb- and perhaps open to the claim they write from a ivory tower , it be also smart , funny , immensely engage , informative , and above all , think provoke . even if I be at odds with the view of a particular article , the occasion be a opportunity to redefine to myself where I do stand on the subject . as someone who believe himself to be centrally positioned socially and politically , neutral on many of the hot-button issue of today , and fiscally conservative , Harper 's still manage to entertain and engage on a regular basis . sadly , the author of my favorite recur column , John Leonard , die late last year . he review new book , and it be from he column that I learn of many of my own choice throughout that time . I can only hope that the new reviewer will share at least some of the same quality that Mr. Leonard do . lastly , if you be able to complete the puzzle in the back , then you be a far smarter person than i. I have subscribe for over three year , and I think I can count on one hand how many clue I have figure out . recommend for the open-minded . +995 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this magazine be a really good source of winemaking tip for the home winemaker . throughout the year , this magazine provide a very solid set of article that cover a wide variety of topic . the article be write at a level appropriate for the non-chemistry major in college who be interested in make wine . every edition of the magazine seem to include at least one article by a commercial winemaker -- and there seem to be additional brief tip often contribute by other winemaker as well . like any magazine , some of the article be less useful but , on the whole , this magazine be solidly recommend if you be either a aspiring winemaker or even someone who already have the home winemake bug . for what it be worth , this magazine also complement `` from vine to wine '' by Jeff Cox which be a good , single source book for home winemaking . +659 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I have be buy this magazine off and on ever since the first issue .

I should note that other than the anti-semitism this be a top-notch magazine . it be write for intelligent people . anyone who get they information from `` article on the internet '' should stick to Time or Newsweek . +587 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 ` Architectural Digest ' for the realistic and practical .

I wish there be more magazine with the reputation and amazing quality that National Geographic produce each month . +606 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I have never hear about about a magazine recieve a Nobel Prize -- even if the svede be clever people . BUT if it should happen , then National Geographic be on the top of my list . it might be a handfull to read this astonise accurate world of information , but you know it be fact . this be journalism in mega-class . but the picture be breathake . . I have never -- ever -- see anything as good as in the National Geographic ; they be indeed in a class for they self . I have love the proto here since before I could read -- and I never travel without a copy -- they should be award a Nobel Prize . . for . . i do not know . . something . +819 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 WOW , i remember Interview in the 90 , when it be well design , thoughtfully write and entertaining . the current incarnation be none of the above . Photography wise , every issue look the same , high contrast photo . the amount of smoking as see in the image be shocking . be it require to appear in the magazine with a cigarette ? the design be terrible but masquard as good . the type be too small , the layout work against the reader , but if you can manage to be bother to read a article , it be very ho hum . I be so bummed . it be not worth even the $ 10 or whatever for the year . +999 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 Great magazine . you have to read something like this one . not only for improve you knowledge , but also for a better life to feel and search . +665 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 subscribe to V mag sometime last year . first off I wait almost 3 month before I receive my first issue . then ...

I love read the article and mostly gather shoot idea from the photo but I be not gonna blow money away . they really need to get they act together before a bunch of subscriber wise up and threaten a class action lawsuit ! +759 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 like so many magazine that have decide to pursue the relatively affluent core of they subscription , Chicago magazine be great if you want to read a magazine to figure out what to buy . it be get lot of article that be relevant to you if you be upwardly mobile , either live in the suburb or have a car to get there , and be interested in the latest trend in entertainment and shopping . that say , it be just not what I look for in a magazine . I have read many issue and while the writing be pretty good , I have never find a article that I think be worth saving , or even much that tell I something I do not know about Chicago , and I have only live here a few year . do not be fool by the title -- this magazine be fine for what it be , but it do not even come close to cover Chicago . +967 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I read a lot of this magazine , and I like the format and article they write about . the poster be really cool , and the news be cool , and , well , everything be cool ! it be a good magazine all around , and I think it be way better than m. +801 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 the magazine hit a new low recently but be in lockstep with the media bias demomstrate so wonderfully by the Chicago Tribune . the story track a particular pistol travel from manufacturer to the street of Chicago exhibit the typical reporter attempt to shape public opinion to they viewpoint . Stories such as these be shine example of how America 's public be slowly brainwash into believe what the reporter portray in a one side story . America , the firearm issue be the biggest cover-up since the JFK assassination . if you disbelieve what I have just state you already brainwash . +582 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 National Geographic fill a special niche as a professional view especially on nature , wildlife and science . I have miss it for about a year , and so glad now to be subscribe again . +224 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I be so sick and tired of see stick woman !!! and they seem to be get younger and younger by the month . not for I !!! plus I do not care about celebrity most of whom I know nothing -lrb- nor care -rrb- about . so after many year , I be actually cancel my subscription !!! +53 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I pick this up at the hair dresser 's to read while I be wait for the perm to do whatever it be that the perm do ... the cover say that there be some article inside on `` how to drive he wild in bed '' and `` 6 way to lose 10 Pounds today !! -lrb- and still go out tonight -rrb- '' . whatever . well , I never do find any of those article , or any other write on any topic , other than eyeliner , or tampon ad , or ` Buffy , the Vampire Slayer ' or a ZILLION other advertisement . and this be a HUGE magazine , what 500 page or something . I finally give up and read the National Enquirer , which at least have article and do tell I how to drive my dog wild outside tonight !!! at least it keep the Postal Service in business . +568 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 my favorite Harper 's piece over the year include : - mcmanus almost win the World Series of Poker - D.F. Wallace take a cruise - Pollan flirt with grow opium poppy - Darcy Frey hang with a young Stephon Marbury and friend - DeLillo 's `` Pafko at the Wall '' - the devastating critique of the McMartin child abuse case at a buck a issue , it only take a few brilliant piece such as these to make this magazine worthwhile . +96 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 you can help support the cause by go to the american Diabetes web-sight and you not only get this magazine but you also get a year membership in the american Diabetes Association ! at the SAME COST ! +749 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 the headline on the cover be not on the inside . the cover get you to buy the magazine , but do not deliver the goods . I do not think I will renew this subscription in a year . +691 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 WOW ! National Geographic again they do a terrific job on something ! they do great , professional , and BREATHTAKING job on everything they do but this be the best of everything . I suscribe to this about two month ago and be very happy about they progress . I be sure thousand agree with I that this be perefection and I be surprised anybody or anything can do this much . put you foot up National Geographic ! you have do enough for thirty year !!! enjoy , Jeffrey Alan Cote ' -lrb- brazilgamer_tacomawa -rrb- +245 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 apparently everyone write review be make of money ... well if that be the case , let I tell you a little secret : if you go garage sailing you can often find a entire year of ng for like $ 20 . and sometimes it be even a recent year . I say save the trash heap and the tree , and the green -lrb- if you catch my drift -rrb- and shop around before you go buy new stuff . it have cool cover , and you can collect they regardless of they condition . +189 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 interview 's get it all : fashion , music , film , people , and it be do the right way . it be visually please , well-written , classy , and ahead of the trend-curve . +619 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 vogue fantastic high fashion photo . if you love to look at beautiful clothing and shoe you need to look at Vogue . however , as other review have indicate , the article be quite lack . they be often flat without much substance on topic that be frankly not interesting . so , you get Vogue for the picture . if you look to ogle pretty clothes or for inspiration for a art project this be a great magazine , if you want something to read get something else . +714 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 my mailbox overflow with magazine and among the theme , home and home - related topic be the most common . Dwell Magazine rank as one of the better home magazine I read each month and it be one of only a few publication that I will return to throughout the month for entertainment and other purpose . what make Dwell a unique publication be its dedication to more interesting and unusual home remodel and rebuild idea . other modern home magazine exist , but Dwell Magazine take the idea of modern to a slightly different level than other , similar publication . with Dwell Magazine , the reader be present with unusual home , both on the exterior and interior , and many of they be certainly eye - catch , if nothing else . this magazine be all about home that offer distinction and some of the design idea be very interesting and will stick with you for a long time . probably the most unique fact about Dwell Magazine be that , while it focus on unusual and creative home design , it manage to maintain a level of livability . other magazine that focus on unusual thing - whether it be the home or something else - often take the weirdness factor to the extreme and they end up alienate most reader . but Dwell Magazine avoid make this mistake . the idea it present be unusual and creative , but still within the boundary of taste and practicality . magazine usually offer article that cover a large range of topic each month , but one other interesting aspect of Dwell Magazine be that each magazine be base on a specific theme . this theme be clearly spell out on the front cover , directly under the magazine 's name , in bold letter . this be nice because you already have a good idea what to expect when you open the page of any issue . the featured article for the month will stick to the main theme for that particular issue . Dwell Magazine be one of hundred of publication that focus on the home , but it easily stand out in the pack and I rank it among my favorite in this genre . I be not into home design on a do-it-yourself level , but I do like to look at home and the room within home and I be always open to new idea . Dwell Magazine offer plenty of creative idea every month and it be a good magazine to consult for home makeover plan . +381 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 the Weekly Standard remain the staple conservative magazine . I enjoy it for 3 basic reason : 1 . the shorter article and column provide a real-time update in current affair since the mag be weekly . 2 . the core article be several page long and cogently represent the larger picture . they provide enough reading content to furnish a week ' worth of situational reading . 3 . the book review be top shelf and perhaps the best available . I have ` discover ' several gem from among they . the weekly standard be expertly write for the educate reader . the editorial quality be top shelf . although ` thinner ' than the National Review , the Weekly Standard be simply superior in my opinion . I do subscribe to both . my only beef with the w be the ` last page ' . it be grow tired . a new device would be welcome . +730 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 as a neo-conservative , I fit quite well within the Weekly Standard 's ideological focus . however , the magazine 's ideological orientation would not be enough to keep I focus on it if the prose and quality of the magazine be below par . not so in this case . the magazine will present article and viewpoint that be not see elsewhere . while most magazine will try -lrb- and fail -rrb- to give a accurate portrayal of every political opinion , the Weekly Standard will instead go into far more depth of many different conservative issue . some of it have to do with politics -lrb- i.e. , `` be California Golden for Bush ? '' -rrb- , but yet other be far more focus on the ideological reason for certain action -lrb- `` why we go to War '' -rrb- . those who read the Weekly Standard be probably far more intelligent and educate than a typical reader of a general publication such as Time , which be quite liberal -lrb- and do not admit it ! -rrb- and superficial to boot . you be choose to read a magazine that give you view more credence -- with fact , figure , and the authority of a great man , William Kristol , who found the magazine . it also have a excellent web site -- http:\/\/www.weeklystandard.com -- Michael Gordon +405 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 I have have a Vogue subscription for at least 10 year but will not be renew my subscription . I be tired of see celebrity on the cover-if I be interested in they I would subscribe to people or InStyle magazine . the magazine have become much more celebrity-focused over the year instead of be fashion-focused . there be plenty of celebrity content to be find in mag and on the web . no thanks . +74 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I order Harper 's from Amazon nearly a year ago and I have come to treasure each issue for its unique blend of essay , art , and literary criticism . my subscription have become a de facto extension of my liberal art education , as the magazine 's page be grace with politics , history , literature , and the art . each issue feature a essay from editor Lewis Lapham , a essayist of the same caliber as Gore Vidal . Lapham 's style and vocubalary be extraordinary , and he writing be often lace with bite satire . the magazine be illustrate with contemporary art from gallery across the United States , and include informative feature like the `` Harper 's index '' and the `` reading '' section -lrb- garner from document in the public domain -rrb- . each issue usually include two serious book review , sometimes stretch across several page of small , dense type . a subscription to this indispensible magazine will enlighten and entertain , equip the reader to understand the contemporary world . +328 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this mag have its up and downs but there be no other magazine with more class and originality . it be a icon all over the world . the editor have inspire book and movie for she perfectionism and professionalism . she and Vogue have go a long way toward make woman strong and independent . without Vogue magazine fashion would not be a multi-billion dollar industry . +727 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I have be as subscriber to this magazine for year and always appreciate the quality and article contain in this publication . the photography be awesome and the article be always interesting and well present . you can put a cover with Tom Selleck on it on my coffee table any day ! +868 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 after read a few of the other review , I be again baffle by the left\/liberal take on thing . this be a CONSERVATIVE magazine !! liberal , open at you own risk ! you just might encounter a differ view point than you own ! goodness . the article be informative , indepth , humorous , and thoughtful . it be a good read . +755 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 so many fun idea for mid-century and other eclectic decorating . some issue seem a little repetitive but I still look forward to receive each one in the mail . +15 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 one of the funniest magazine around . in a recent article , the Weekly Standard propose massively expand the IRS to help pay for the massive debt and budget deficit . which group do the `` Weekly Standard '' say should be target for this increase IRS presence -lrb- and massive increase in tax rate - for some 100 % -rrb- ? the Entertainment industry . the reality tv show contestant , the teen-pop singer and the like . the article note that normally massive taxation would hurt a industry , but with all the people that really want fame , that go all out to get they 15 minute of fame , the industry would continue along -lrb- I be curious if O'Rourke realize that the tax would be apply to similar writer -rrb- . another o'rourke article provide the reader with a alternate Inaugural Address by Bush -lrb- subtitle : `` what if George W. Bush be not a compassionate conservative ... '' ; quote : `` the media say that I win the election on the strength of moral value . if the other fellow have become president , would the media have say that he win the election on the strength of immoral value ? '' -rrb- . in all seriousness , this magazine be a very clear detailed neo-conservative look at the issue -lrb- neo-con ? - interestingly , it would appear that many of the writer use to be liberal -rrb- . the magazine do not always present just the conservative perspective , and do not always agree with Bush . another recent article be by a current liberal , ex-communist british writer and he reaction to George Galloway 's testimony before the US Senate . a editorial in that recent issue be all about the dictator in Uzbekistan , a US ally in the war on terror . the editorial note that toleration of this dictator and he brutality will undermine Bush 's current foreign policy . it should be note that the magazine do not seem to have journalist , and few staff writer , most appear to be call `` contribute editor . '' it be jarring , though , when I read the magazine then read article in some of my other subscription . `` Variety '' and `` Weekly Standard '' rarely agree . for that matter , I be somewhat surprise by how often the `` Weekly Standard '' and `` Business Week '' disagree . - Michael S. Briggs - +312 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I purchase this national geographic subscription for my husband in December and it be now February and I still have not receive one issue ? I would hesitate recommend ` sign up ' for that reason . +761 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I have a collection that go back to 1965 , and I have be a subscriber for some 20 year . the magazine ; however , have become the province of the radical environmetalist movement . the editorial content lean heavily toward the left , and the choice and variety of article have degenerate over the year . even the quality of the writing have be erode as the magazine try to reach a wider audience with its leftist environmental propaganda . in sum , a great publication have be hijack by a group of irrational environmentalist who have little interest in any subject other than tree and the occasional politically correct topic . +66 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 a great read for almost all age . enjoy the contemporary article as well as those of the past . thank you +576 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I like this magazine , I have a subscription . it be pretty good especially bout what all the famous people be up to . with embaress moment as well as truth or dare , the only thing it be miss be more personal story +822 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 I have a subscription a number of time , and find it almost comparable to `` seventeen , '' or `` YM . '' while I find the gossip section in any of these publication , j-14 , offer a little less of it . they article be of good length . unlike `` bop , '' `` Teen Machine , '' and `` Pop Star , '' `` j-14 , '' be in full color , and every other page be not a pin-up , or poster . one con be the choice to include Eminem , Dainty Kaine , and some other I feel be not best for young teens . Paris Hilton be one such individual . we be all human , but she continued poor influence , be a bad influence on preteen ! +970 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 always look forward to a copy of Dwell magazine . the strip down aesthetic be a refreshing antidote to the world as-it-is at large . I be usually remind that live in this world need not be the complicated and messy experience that the lack of thoughtful design usually produce . and this inspire I to live with courage and conviction in that part of the world within my control . +171 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 the first time I buy j-14 be in 2010 . from there to now it have get from good to horrible ! seriously the story be very shallow , they focus on crush and celebrity . they be boring and I do not recommend it to anyone . +706 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 vogue be serious fashion . this magazine be for follower of couture designer and the fashion industry . it be not for those who want 10 way to drive a man Crazy in Bed ! vogue offer the most complete coverage of seasonal show as well as beautiful fashion layout ...

I order it and receive the new March issue plus the old January and February issue that I already have . I 'll try to call they tomorrow to fix it , but what a pain . I would guess it be because they have lot of old unsold issue lie around anyway . National Geographic have a great magazine and some good documentary , but they business side be awful . such a stupid move to send I old issue . it just make I really dislike the whole thing . +84 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 same thing .

I would also agree with past review regard the political slant -lrb- centrist -rrb- . +989 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 first , let I say that I love get my magazine from amazon . they be easy and cheapter and there be no constant mail beg to renew at a -lrb- higher -rrb- rate . that say , I get Elle and Bazaar -lrb- $ 10 each -rrb- but forget Vogue . it use to be good-model , clothes , fashion , cut edge-and I subscribe for year . now it be celeb fluff or -lrb- the worst -rrb- some socialite with too much money complain about how she ballgown will not fit in she closet and that she pick the kid up from school and not the nanny . honestly , I be all about Carine Roitfeld and blame Anna Wintour . Roitfeld have style and Wintour lose it year ago . I miss the old Vogue but can not reltate to this crap . when I like the ad better than the article , there be a problem . so I stick with bazaar , which have better fashion coverage , and Elle , which have article that be interesting and I can relate to and scrap Vogue . +517 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this have be my favorite magazine for over 30 year . the photo , article , and investigation have heighten awareness for all these year . +300 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 great magazine - but ... I can not stress to you enough not to buy this on Amazon through Synapse Services , Inc. . you will not get you magazine , you will not receive a refund , and you will waste you time and money ! flush you money , it be more effictive way to get rid of it . I purchase NG for my father in June 6th 2010 as a renewal to he subscription which be expire on Feburary 2011 . I just get a last chance renewal from NG , they say my subscription be expire ? it should be good till Feburary 2012 ! they say they do receive a order from synapse on June 10th but then it be cancel by synapse in July ? ng be nice enough to give I Synapse 's phone number 877-813-0320 . be sure to press 0 and go for the agent , even though it will not help you , the supervisor can not help you either ! I just get off a long phone call with Synapse Services , Inc. they cancel the subscription for no reason on they end . they never fullfill the request ? they say they refund , but there be no refund , Amazon still have it list active ? I just want the magazine , they have already receive payment why do they cancel it ? they can not tell I ? I have never be so disatisfied with a company in my life . I will be contact Amazon , contact the Credit Card company for payment with no service , BBB for failure to produce service , etc. . I will also issue a invoice to they for my waste time ! basically what this company do be when they receive the actual payment from Amazon they then call up ng and cancel you subscription so they do not have to pay NG and they keep the money . wow ; what a great money make business !!! +747 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I pick up a copy of Dwell in my brother 's mod condo he own and think , oh , not another boring Design magazine . WOW . I be really impressed with both the great picture and the range of topic in this little gem . from `` chair through the age '' to a complete timeline of modern design -lrb- toaster to ipod ! -rrb- I just could not stop say `` ahhhh '' ! since this magazine be not available in many place -lrb- such as the supermarket -rrb- , it be well worth a subscription . there be wonderful idea for small space but also for larger home too . it would make a great gift for a 20 something that be just get into they first space . -lrb- and hey , have it on you coffee table make you hipness go up by about 100 % ~ ! -rrb- +476 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 excellent magazine for adult and kid alike . cover everything from culture , nature , geography , ecology to science and technology . in recent month it have tackle interesting and counterversial subject such as `` the end of cheap oil '' and `` global warming '' . in any edition you can review a wide spectrum of article -- history , science , wild life etc. . I particularly like the article on zipusa where they cover small -lrb- but unique and interesting -rrb- `` zip code '' . there be no better way to learn about diverse life form on this planet . where there be deep deep sea creature or animal live in the evergreen forest . there be no better way to learn about we solar system -- how planet be create or what be star ? recently there be a article on New Earths . my elder child enjoy read this magazine . believe I this be the best way to build interest around science for kid . +288 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this magazine have a lot of helpful `` business '' tip for anyone run they own small business . it help I with make decision on thing that be important to I . +781 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 there be not another magazine like Cowboy 's and Indians if you be a lover of the western lifestyle . I love the article feature film star such as Katherine Ross , John Wayne , Sam Elliott , Tommy Lee Jones just to name a few . the article feature many picture and take you up close and personal to the star and how they live . there be other great article about horse , ranch and vacation `` western style '' . the artwork and picture be beautiful . +197 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 this magazine be encourage at first but it be not design to be the ultimate resource but rather a catalog . I do recommend it for those under the age of 20 or 16 if ambitious as something to read for 2-3 month . I feel many of the article be contradictory and leave the reader feeling confuse over time . it be obvious that the magazine strongly favor franchiser since they be a main revenue source . there be nothing wrong with franchise but just because one business do well in Alaska do not mean it will do well in Omaha . the franchise rating be too general to be apply nationwide . for location base company do not start one unless you can start three or more from the beginning . this way you can get proper management , advertising and overall economy of scale . if someone be sick at one location the business will not shut down . this also mean that Michael Gerber will be proud of you since you will not be sweeping hair or serve fries but rather run the company . I learn this from a woman who have over 120 franchise location with the same co. . she work 15 hour a week and make more than most C.E.O. 's . dream of . this allow here to make additional million a year invest in Real Estate . she employee adore she because she make sure they have the best pay and advancement opportunity in the business . she make it fun . work smart , not hard . it be hard at first to create and follow system but she ego let she delegate . when I meet owner with the same company who have one or two location they be curt and frustrated . the rocket need fuel to launch and it be better to make sure it will work rather than waste money . I see a owner who stare one location lose he beach house because of this failure . he realize he have not think it through . in the magazine one moment a industry be the only business to consider , the next it be a disaster zone to be avoid . it do not sell ad copy but it be better to master a industry long term to discover the best opportunity and wealth . Entrepreneur magazine feel like a endless circle of trendy idea . if the magazine be a truly great they would not be able to print a issue month after month . it be important where you get you advice and world view from . I feel it be far better to find people with similar interest and duplicate they success . I find a retired previous industry leader and duplicated he business plan that cost he $ 5m to create and 35 year of he time . in addition I question how he arrive at he conclusion when many be counter intuitive at first . this information can not be find in a magazine and I promise the top 0.2 % be always the most approachable . I could not believe how nice self make high net worth individual be . when I meet Paula Abdul I honestly feel she be one of the most sincere and sweet person out there . it make complete sense because it be how success last . it do not make sense for entrepreneur to take advice from employee if that be not they goal . a better resource be Success magazine and Ted.com for inspirational and educational video . autobiography be a tremendous source of distinction . it be not the `` how '' but rather the belief and think pattern that get the person to be someone you have hear of . success can come to you in any industry . one of the wealthiest family I have meet make they fortune in paper clip . it be 85 % in the heart and spirit and 15 % the `` how '' . read 2-3 biography and you will see a trend that can be apply well in you own life . call the people and the local time without want anything but to congratulate they and add they to you circle of friend . Start wherever you be with all that you have right now . success be take one step at a time in the direction of you destiny . I wish you great success on all level live a life that be well worth live ! +731 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I be about to skip renew Vogue b\/c all the offer I get be for $ 20 + \/ year . then it dawn on I to check Amazon , and holey moley I find it for $ 15\/year ! awesome !

I subscribe to this for two year , let it lapse , and think about resubscribe occasionally . Works as a fun suppliment to other magazine -lrb- Atlantic , New Yorker -rrb- . +367 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 Woodworkers Journal have attract some of my favorite woodworking expert from the other magazine . Michael Dresdner , Ellis Wallentine , Shondor Nagaslaski be all great tool and woodworking expert and give I the information that I need to advance my skill and keep work in the shop interesting .

I love the indepth and informative article that they provide . I also love the way that they always have such clear and beautiful picture and there be no shortage of they either ! I also love the fact that all of the article be in line with mainstream science . +772 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I for one enjoy read this magazine . it have good article that they feature on the cover , although when you actually buy the magazine sometimes article be not what I be expect . I enjoy read the article that people submit , such as embarrassing moment and truth or dare story . the Win it ! column be also somewhat cool , most of the stuff I would not participate in the drawing though . overall , this magazine be great ! I recommend it to the teenager , as well as YM , CosmoGIRL , and Teen people . +744 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I usually have enough time to read about 1 magazine a month between raise kid and work . so what other magazine could leave you in awe with it be photography , astound you with it be story and educate you like no other magazine . National Geographic of course that same magazine that you use to page through when you be a kid sit in the dentist wait room . now my kid page through it at home , I have a friend at work who collect the map , my wife peruse it and when we be all do I donate all back issue to a local nursing home . psstt . . go to they website for the best price . . +70 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 National Geographic consistently provide great in depth article . the photograph be amazing . I have have the magazine in we house since i be a child . I always look forward to the next one . +203 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 the vendor refuse to honor the $ 15 subscripton request . I try previosly when it be $ 10 with the same result . good Luck to you . +666 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 everybody know about National Geographic . it may be the greatest magazine publication of all time . the image and the story be always grip and move , and take you to part of the world that most people could never visit otherwise . the Gold Box Deal of $ 10 for the subscription be simply too awesome to pass up , but even the current $ 15 subscription qualify as almost too good to be true . how you could pass on it be beyond I . I know i wasnt able to , and wouldnt have want to pass on it anyway . +390 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this be a informative magazine for antiquarian and person interested in interior design and decorative art . the article be well-written and accompany by good photograph and illustration . it be a pleasure to read and you will come away from it each time learn something new that be worth remember . +417 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this magazine be progressive and insightful . the editorial design be top quality . it be fun and challenging . it avoid the typical business mediocrity in regional publication . oh , by the way , I be the Art Director of this magazine , so my review might be a little bias . sorry . +623 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 so I usually get magazine through the mail -lrb- old-fashioned way -rrb- and overall I have get great result . I believe that if I get a magazine subscription through internet it would be easier and faster . be I wrong ! First of all it take almost 2 month to get the first magazine , and when I do I get a 2 month old magazine , and up to now I have yet to receive the August issue which come out to store almost three week ago . I definitely DO NOT recommend get magazine subscription through anywhere else besides the ancient , yet effective way of mail . +433 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 j-14 have all the latest gossip and photo of all my favorite celeb . not only that , it have embarrassing moment , cool comeback , movie review , thick poster . it be my favorite magazine . +213 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 take everything that have already be say about the beauty of this magazine and insert it here . then add to it the following : as a artist I hoard natinal geographic magazine like Pirate 's treasre . for inspiration and reference material , they be simply invaluable . we basement be full of maginz that I would read again and again and again . the journalism be wonderful , the photograph remarkable , and the scope of subject matter be stagger . such a lovely publication . I really look forward to buy a home so I can have the space to get a regular subscription . +6 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 as other have state , probably not a great idea to order nat Geo through Amazon . I place my order in June and receive a cancellation e-mail from they today . if Amazon can not fill the subscription at this price , they should not be offer it . Great magazine , just do not order it here . +735 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 I originally review this magazine in 2004 and at that time I give it four star . since that time , the magazine have deteriorate to the point that it be a toss-up whether to give it one star , or be generous and give it two . Vogue use to be America 's premier fashion periodical . back in the day , when Diana Vreeland , and Jessica Daves before she , have the top editorial spot , the magazine be a byword for class and elegance . the cover be work of art -- some of they be so good that they be suitable for frame . the model actually look like model . and the clothes exude taste and style . enter Anna Wintour , and exit class , elegance and everything else that make Vogue special . the magazine start to skid straight down the tube and , sad to say , the slide have accelerate . the cover have become just plain awful . I have see classier , more artistic cover on Women 's day . the September 2008 cover be particularly dreadful . Keira Knightley , a lovely young woman , be show with a hairstyle look like a five year old have take a blunt weed whacker to she head , wear something that look like Grandma 's old curtain cinch by a cheap patent leather belt . the clothes in recent issue look like something you would wear to a bad Halloween party , at astronomical price . and the model look like eastern european zombie . if Vogue be try to sell clothes , they should start feature clothes you can actually wear , and put they on somebody who do not look like the walk dead . Vogue use to have pretty good article , but recently they have deteriorate as well . they do run a very good , well-written , thoughtful piece in July 2008 on racism in the fashion industry in which they focus on the dearth of non-white model . great piece , I think as I read it , now maybe Vogue will take a look at the endless bland parade of european model in they own page and start practice what they preach . yeah right . in every succeed issue it be back to normal -- the same pale , empty-looking face stare vapidly at the camera . not that a black model would mean a drop in sale . in July 2008 , italian Vogue dedicate the whole issue to black model and sell out its entire print run . they actually have to go into reprint . that issue have become a collector ' item . the final nail in Vogue 's coffin , as far as I be concerned , be they December 2008 issue feature Jennifer Aniston look luscious in a long red dress with the caption -lrb- on the cover , yet -rrb- `` Jennifer Aniston : I think what Angelina do be very uncool '' . my eye almost fall out of my head . be Vogue try to reinvent itself as a celebrity tabloid ? if I want to read about the Pitt\/Aniston\/Jolie triangle for the umpteen-thousandth time , I 'll pick up Life & Style or in touch or something of that ilk . this be nothing more than the cheapest kind of pander to the fan of the trash tabloid to sell they magazine . vogue do have good photography , I 'll give they that much , but nothing that be not present better in Harper 's Bazaar . and they layout be quite good ; in fact , better than Bazaar 's . but the overall substance and content of the magazine have deteriorate to the point where Vogue and I have finally come to a parting of the way . I have just cancel my subscription after ten year . maybe if and when Wintour depart , the magazine will find its way back to its former eminence . until then , I be go with they sister publication on the other side of the pond , british Vogue . in just about every category , it be a much better magazine . Judy Lind November 12 , 2008 +641 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 a good magazine , easy to read and some good recipe . not sure if I will resubmit another year . not sure if it be worth the price for what you get . +117 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 what be up with all the people order this on here and not receive they magazine , Amazon ?? this be a fun , `` Tiger beat '' type of magazine ... but it be much better if you actually get the magazine . +372 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I will never buy anything from national geographic again !!!!

I have nothing against MTV , but gosh this be a example of how it control the teens of America !!! MTV promote celebrity worship - which be unhealthy - , be bias of pop and rap , give teens the wrong meaning of music , and what the heck do the real world and viva la bam have to with music ... nothing , but hey they be two great show , yet nothing to do with music , be on Music Television !!! look , I like MTV but , I be no MTV zombie that follow by what MTV say be so call cool , J 14 , Teen people be example of this !!! people read a magazine that have a meaning to it not some more ... cheat from the tree !!!

I do not read ad anyway . and there be not a lot of card fall out all over the place like a lot of other publication . now , the content I find to be quite timely and interesting , even if it do not pertain to my situation . I often find article that might help other out and suggest they to that person . if you be at a crossroads in you life between work and retire , this be the magazine for you . it be write for people who be retire . not go to retire , but already retire . always good topic on manage you finances to health to invest and even on retirement living . overall a 5 star publication . +567 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I have be subscribe to Dwell for a few year now and love this magazine . it always have a few wonderful feature article and great photo . Dwell have a good balance between content and ad , but the ad they do have also highlight great design and be interesting in themselves . I be a former architecture student , but I do think that anyone who have a affinity for architecture , interior design , or furniture would thoroughly enjoy this one . I also like that the space they feature have a wide range of style , size , and location . in various issue I have see all type of style include : contemporary , mid-century , coastal , eclectic , loft , pre-fab design , and renovation . but for the most part one thing they all have in common be good design .

I have to call and get that cancel . then they send I renewal notice each month begin at least six month before my expiration . these rate be much more than twice the renewal rate I get through Amazon . last year when I call the magazine directly and ask why they would not match this rate since I have be a loyal subscriber since 1970 , they do give I a one time renewal for the Amazon rate , but say it be a one time rate and deny that I could get that rate again unless I be a first time subsriber -lrb- which do offend I -rrb- . then this year it be back to the same renewal process .

Analog also have a lively letter column , where editor Stanley Schmidt or the story author often reply . and Schmidt 's editorial be always a good read . some of the factual science article well-compliment the story , some just do not have any relation -lrb- and if I skip anything in Analog , it be some of the drier fact piece -rrb- . some excellent write-up such as a comparison between long-term weather datum and historical regime change could lead to several future story in the magazine . dependable , high-quality , and enjoyable . one change in publication not mention here : both Analog and Asimov 's have go to 10 issue a year from 11 , with 2 `` double issue '' instead of one per year . the double issue be always a treat but then one must wait 2 month for the next regular issue ! +211 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I wait two month and do not get a single issue . customer service be terrible . when I contact they several time , no one reply . do not count on Amazon either . my complaint get no response at all . the most ridiculous thing be when I try to cancel it , they only give I half my money back . but I do not even get one !!!

I buy this subscription for my father whose birthday be in August . he call I in October to sheepishly ask where the magazine be . after complain , Amazon say they would get it there by November . HUH ???!!! now , I just get a email say they make a error and it would now ship sometime in JANUARY !!! oh , but they be nice enough to make it up to I by offer I a free subscription to Inc. magazine !!! WTF ???!!! what do Inc. have even remotely in common with Harpers ?! I call Amazon customer service to cancel my order . after I post this , I be go to do what I should have do four month ago : order Harper 's from Harper 's . caveat emptor !!! +295 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 it be a great magazine with lot of material to share . good for both child and adult . price be cheap as well . +734 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 its a good magazine that do not have hysterical or over hyped piece . while I do not always agree with the conclusion of the writer , the magazine do what Time , Newsweek etc do not do . Make one think . I also applaud they for be honest and have article take the currant administration to task for failing and for be honest in challenge conservative to get they act together . while William Kristol and Fred Barnes be often note as be the most notable at the magazine I actually like other writer like John Simon , William Doino Jr , Vance Serchuk -lrb- who write a great review of a book I own the White Man 's Burden why the West 's effort to Aid the rest have do so much Ill and so little good by William Easterly -rrb- , John Podhoretz , Gerard Alexander . now I know as far as subscription go the price may seem high . but I suggest you subscribe and then donate the copy to you local library . they will appreciate the gift . I also have to note that I really love the artist who do the cover and that as a subscriber I can also read issue online . +251 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 the one star be for NOT get what I pay for . I subscribe , but I only get about one out of 4 issue . when I complain , I get a form letter -- but no resolution . I guess it be too complicate for they to mail the magazine to they subscriber . these people just steal you money . +867 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 this magazine have be very informative and enjoyable for we family of bird watcher . the article be usually educational or humorous , or both ! excellent photography . topic might include not only bird but equipment for bird watch , awesome place to see specific bird and when , environmental issue or `` laugh-out-loud '' bird watch experience . for the think bird watcher as well as the backyard bird feeder enthusiast . try it ! +302 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I have not subscribe to National Geographic since I be in h and I remember not have enjoy it that much back then . my guess be that it be because of the format - it be a little bit too rigid\/heavy - and because my English be quite poor back then . in any case , I get a subscription last year when it be on sale and love the magazine . I love the diversity of the article , the fact that they be well written\/researched and do not mind be -lrb- a little bit -rrb- controversial , and that they cover thing I would not hear about otherwise . it be really a window on the world . the picture do not hurt , either : -rrb- now I just need to manage to re-subscribe when it be super cheap again . +118 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this be the only political magazine I will read . it be a great read if one be a conservative , but someone with liberal idea may not care for it . +24 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 the article be write by top class writer and researcher . the photography be perfect and give you a true feeling of the surroundings . a must for any nature or history lover . +489 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 I would like to classify myself as a moderate but I probably lean conservative . because of that , I subscribe to Harpers so that I could read good writing that would challenge my belief and stretch my mind in new way . I get that , more or less , at first , but over the course of a couple of year the magazine drift further and further to a leftist propaganda screed , the worst of which be Louis Lapham 's bitter drivel editorial . it get to a point where the writing be incredibly predictable ; I know exactly what position -lrb- read : left of pelosus -rrb- the writer -- any writer in Harpers -- would take on whatever the issue be , and I have a pretty good idea of what the line of whine would be . if you attend dinner party on the Upper East Side ; if you drive a Prius to the Oscars ; if you think commercial organic farming be a environmental travesty ; if you have ever desecrate a Starbucks , then look no more -- this magazine be for you . however , if you be dumbfounded at how the Republicans can keep win election -- and then you realize they have the democratic party as opponent ; if you realize the genius of George Bush and Karl Rove be in get liberal to underestimate George Bush and Karl Rove ; if you want to read smart , insightful write that will inform and entertain , then try the Atlantic monthly -lrb- which , by the way , I be surprise to see reviewer describe as a liberal magazine ; I think it be moderate , and if anything , a bit on the conservative side . -rrb- needless to say , I let my Harpers subscription lapse . two star , tho , for the Harper 's Index -- however , that be not worth the price of a subscription -lrb- it get to be the only thing worth anything for the price of the subscription -rrb- . +642 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 this item be order well in advance of Christmas . why no gift card with $ 5.00 gift certificate prior to receipt of magazine ? I realize that the magazine subscription would take week , but surely a acknowledgement could have be send for Xmas stock . +588 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 what can anyone add - same ole , same ole . absolutely great ! +601 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 what a gorgeous magazine that be much more than just a pretty face ... with star such as Russell Crowe , Sandra Bullock , Matt Damon and John Wayne grace the cover , not to mention the entertaining article and feature , and the unique and beautiful jewelry , clothing , art , furniture , etc. , it be no wonder I can not help but read each magazine time and time again . would not want anything else on my coffee table , and my guest love to read the magazine , too ! ca not wait to read the latest Willie Nelson issue that just arrive in the mail ! +657 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I frequently change magazine subscription just to see what be out there . Harpers , however , be a staple and for the simple reason that its writing be the best and the most varied in term of length and subject matter . the real measure of its success be that I will wade into article , memoirs and discussion , whatever the subject , and find I come away with something to talk about with friend instead of a hour spend with teaser paragraph and no payoff . you know the feeling from coffee table mag where you eye wind up tired and inside you head a dull tom-tom begin to beat ... Harpers be a strange amalgam of irreverence , analysis , personal revelation and humor that put it somewhere between the New York Review of Books , the New Yorker and Mother Jones -- without the brand that the other cordon you with . check it out and be sure to read the piece not usually on you checklist . they 'll take you place you have not be . +199 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I discover this wonderful magazine by chance a short time ago . I wish I have discover it sooner . out of curiosity I decide to read it and it be well worth it . I have read magazine such as Time and Newsweek on and off over the year so I have expect similar article . I be amaze at the outstanding quality of the magazine in comparison to the commoner periodicle . it be like a stallion among donkey . the thought provoke article , review , etc. be a intellectual pleasure to read . I actually feel like I have attain a greater understanding of the world after read a issue -lrb- ... -rrb- . I recommend that you read a issue of this magazine for yourself to see if it really be all I have say it be or if I be just a fool who be overenthusiastic about a periodical . +702 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 read harper to sidestep the pointless left\/right debate read harper and learn how to think multi-dimensional -lrb- i guess harper look left-leaning to those who think fox news be balanced and fair -rrb- ive be a reader for decade ... i didnt know it be liberal media +998 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 i agree i be ready to order for a friend & myself until i see they put you life in anyone hand that want it why would i do that to a friend oh well @ least they tell you upfront +632 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 there be a reason that National Geographic have be around for this many decade : it be a classic . as feature article go , they be a bit on the long side , but the writing be usually so compelling you 'll hardly notice . travel to exotic place , meet fascinating new culture , and go to some of the most remote , beautiful region in the world . as photography go , I doubt there be better photojournalist out there than the one who work for National Geographic . as the magazine 's design go , it be superb as well . use the top-notch photo and well-written article , they be able to put together some really compelling -lrb- even breathtaking on occasion -rrb- design . and you have get to love the magazine 's sense of nostalgia and tradition : they have use that same yellow border for age . all in all , it be a great pick-up . +329 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 this magazine be excellent for those who be interested in contemporary design . thank God someone care enough about those of we who love such . +242 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 CHILE PEPPER be one of the more interesting cooking magazine out there . the recipe tend to emphasize Cajun , Creole , and Carribean style . not all of the recipe include chile pepper or have a great deal of heat , but most recipe would likely appeal to chilehead . have grow up in the Southwest , I love these type of recipe and have make several with excellent result . the story be also interesting , focus on restaurant and manufacturer involve in the chile pepper businesss , such as the folk at Tabasco . there be also many story on various hot sauce . recommend for people look for something a little different or who like Lousiana or hot food . +756 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 there be magazine which concentrate in just one subject . there be magazine about current event . but National Geographic be a magazine that , use geography as a excuse , it permit itself to tackle every subject imaginable . I look at it as the ultimate GENERAL interest magazine . -lrb- not by chance this magazine every month be translate and publish in just about any language , include Spanish , Portuguese and Polish , just to name some . I read particularly the spanish edition , be my native language . I have try the English edition but some technical word make it a little harder , but not too much -rrb- it be a must if you want to understand the world and everything in it , it be no longer just a geography magazine , since they have feature story range from coca plantation and the danger of cocaine -lrb- January 1989 -rrb- to baseball -lrb- minor league , April 1991 -rrb- . I dare you to look in the publication index at ... \/ publication and search for any subject you think of , no matter how subtle or frivolous might seem . I be sure you 'll find something about it . and of course , the photography and the writing be always superb . it be not suppose to be a very technical magazine , since it be target to the general public . so why do not you give yourself a unlimited passport to anywhere in the world , and a textbook for everything this planet have on it ? +156 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 get this mag 4 my daughter , she love it . lot of article and pic of the `` hot '' people of 2day . +534 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 we have subscribe to National Geographic for over 50 year and Amazon 's price be about half of what a direct subscription would have be . +965 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 this mag be da bomb ! i buy it at first just because christina aguilera be in a article in it . i keep buy it month after because i just could not stop read it , plus its get ton of pic ! i be cover my wall in celebrity pic and this come in handy ; -rrb- but there like gossip , interview , and funy cartoon pic of artist , and like just everything you can imagine . the only thing i didnt quite like be how there be poster every single time of britney , nsync , and BSB , i mean there be so many more artistsout there !! butif you love music -lrb- its mostly a pop mag -rrb- then this definitly be the mag for you ! +664 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I cancel my subscription after 30year because I be tire of most of the article push propaganda . ng be long hold as a neutral source of accurate info , but no longer true . +335 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I enjoy the vibe of this magazine . the Q&A; 's be truly interesting to I to say the least overall . very Entertaining & Un-cut . it have a up-front vibe & take on thing . not like other magazine that be for sure . +432 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 how can I review this when I have not get it yet ?

'' there be a guy 's story . there be also a `` do ya Know ? '' thing . and `` Celeb Yikes ! '' there be horoscope , the J-14 Love Chart , Celeb Columnist , you ask , song lyric , before they be Stars , it really happen ! , win Looks , Cool Comebacks , Fashion , Music , tv , movie , win it ! , and J-14 last word . I would say this be just for girl and a totally awesome magazine ! +792 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 as a engineer I love hard science . Analog be the pre-eminent magazine for hard science fiction . I love short story and the editorial piece . this magazine be obviously a labor of love for the editor . do not just support you interest with praise . support they with money . subscribe now ! +931 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 Great magazine , order via Amazon.com with no shipping issue . Magazine arrive within 4 week . extremely fair price . the only downside would be the numerous amount of additional purchase item card inside the magazine . . but every magazine 's get they . +468 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 this magazine be just ok , so so , I have be get it about a year now , it usually have something interesting in it , but not everything , but there be some issue that be very good , and each article be very interesting , so it be sporadic as to how good each issue be . some excellant , some just ok . +971 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 natl geographic never disappoint . i usually read it all the way through . the only complaint be i wish it have more article ! +495 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I finally receive a subscription to this amazing magazine as a gift , and I have read my first issue cover-to-cover over the span of two day . this month 's -lrb- February 2003 -rrb- issue include , among other thing , a essay on the inevitable doom that human will eventually face when we planet experience its next major cosmic collision . . unless , of course , we manage to annihilate ourselves via environmental , militaristic , pathological , or technological means , pre-empt the arbitrary extinction cause by a asteroid or comet . every issue of Harper 's contain excellent essay , fiction , political discussion , and of course the Harper 's staple , such as the index . many of the story and essay win major literary prize such as the O'Henry award , and get include in high-profile anthology such as the \* best american \* series . certainly , for a writer , if you be choose to appear in Harper 's , you be at the pinnacle of you craft . although the New Yorker , Atlantic monthly , and many other smaller literary magazine consistantly offer excellent content and visually please format , Harper 's seem to lead the pack -- maybe because of it be no-nonsense approach , limited advertising , regionally non-specific content , and diversity of topic . the fact that Harper 's be aid by a non-profit organization must contribute to its quality ; certainly any independence from advertiser can only improve the open-endedness and creativity that Harper 's excel in . +463 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 the subscription be a nice deal . I get two previous issue as compliment . over all its a good deal . I recommend . +621 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 i read this magazine at my friend house once and love it . it tell all celeberty we like and it have really good article !! plus it have awsome poster !!! +110 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 in a era of decline journalism , National Geographic shine above all else as a benchmark for quality , and photojournalism . they have recently win multiple ellie 's the equivalent of the Pulizer prize in the magazine industry . each issue include one or two feature article from around the world . while the magazine contain advertisement , they have place ad in the front and back of the magazine so that feature article be not interrupt by a annoying gaudy ad , a practice often see in other magazine . the quality of the photo be simply amazing ; the magazine use a high quality paper to print quality photo not see in any other magazine out there . it be not fair that other reviewer , provide a lower rating for this magazine because it can be find cheaper elsewhere . National Geographic provide a lower introductory rate . however , once you get past the first year , subscriber need to pay the default rate of $ 34 . +154 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 Antiques Magazine be a publication make for antique lover and history buff and its page be load with photo of artistic painting , handmade goods , rare picture , and other item of similar nature . it be a magazine for those who love antique and also those who consider themselves historian since many article deal with historical collection of art and antique . this magazine be overflow with antique goods and information . the article contain in this magazine be intend to be visually stimulate in some case , educational in other . they offer history lesson on the art that be popular during a specific era , a glimpse into a art collection at a museum , and more . the article be mean to stimulate the interest of those who already like this subject and they often provide a means to learn more , to discover place to see or purchase some of the featured work , and to develop a appreciation for the craftsmanship that go into make these item . Antiques Magazine be a publication dedicate to creative art and history but one thing that be not very creative be the title of the article . this might surprise some reader at first , but the editor at Antiques decide to get straight to the point in the naming of the featured article rather than try to be creative . the feature thus have title like `` the Eating Utensil Collection '' , `` spanish culture in Art '' , etc. . each title point out exactly what the article cover , leave nothing to the imagination . the writing in Antiques be certainly good and well - edit . but I be afraid that many reader will find the article a little boring . they describe thing well and they usually offer a good history lesson . but they lack spark and readability . I have try to read some article in this magazine and find my eyelid get heavy and my thought drift to other subject . this be why I generally stick with the picture when I glance at Antiques Magazine . I do not bother reading because most of the material do not keep my interest . overall , Antiques Magazine be a okay publication and unless you have a deep interest in antique and they history , you will likely become bored quickly if you try to read the article . but the picture in Antiques be often very interesting . even if you have little interest in read a magazine like this one , the photo alone make it worth a occasional look . +93 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I be a NatGeo junky . my collection of this magazine span four decade . this publication be magnificent for many of the reason that have already be state . if human be to send a capsule into deep space so that a alien culture might come upon it and learn something about the Earth and it be inhabitant , many have suggest that the capsule contain the entire National Geographic collection - 1888 to the present . in what other publication can you find fascinating article , map , rendering and photo on Pterodons , a frog epidemic , Lewis & Clark , the Hubble space telescope , and balinese culture - and all this in a single issue ?! it truly be the Universal Encyclopedia . answer accusation : the magazine report on `` the world and everything in it '' as honestly and evenly as any publication could hope to do . in the past decade , many of Geographic 's story have focus on imperil species , culture or ecosystem . these be hugely important issue that we should be proud to learn about . I get incense when people accuse the magazine and its editor of be political -lrb- leftist -rrb- . every article -lrb- I have read every issue since 1961 -rrb- which concern the environment explore both side of the issue at hand - the need of people and the impact on the planet . the Magazine have not become more liberal in the past 4 decade , the world itself have become a more impoverished place as the we number have soar past 6 billion . this magazine get my absolute highest recommendation . I wish that everyone out there would subscribe to and collect National Geographic . not only will they become a ornament on you bookshelf or coffee table , but you 'll be wiser and more worldly after immerse yourself in they , as well . +357 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 here be a magazine that focus on modern design and clean-line architecture without the trendy vibe that make a competitor like `` Wallpaper '' a expensive , hit-or-miss read . what I like most about `` Dwell '' be its consistency in present interesting design from around the world that look quite livable and fashionable at the same time . even the advertisement be quite compatible to the flow of the magazine , so much so that they often look like they be part of the editorial . there be a very useful `` Marketplace '' section at the end that tell you where to get a lot of the art , furniture and accessory complementary to the design present . I have often use these helpful listing to find some interesting thing for my own place . this magazine be definitely gear toward the urban loft dweller , but I like how they highlight home with family in mind as well . individual issue be often focus on either geographic or utility-related theme , thus keep a library mandatory for future reference . the photography be superb . if you be tire of design magazine that seem to be talk specifically to designer , this be a great , reasonably price alternative for people who simply appreciate great design . highly recommend . +50 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I plan to call and have my subscription cancel . this magazine be way too mainstream for my family and also do not offer anything fresh or different from any of the other `` parenting '' magazine . +929 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 I have be a subscriber to National Geographic since mid 1990 when I be back in Iran . I remember receive this good magazine with picture be marked or censor by postal authority in islamic Iran yet I love it . however , this magazine have really lose its once proud tradition of present fair and true scientific contents and have replace it with some liberal agenda drive stuff like promote nonsense like global warming , world peace and get anti-u . s rhetoric\/politics involve when write about other nation like they past issue that be dedicate to Iran . all in all , this magazine be good in term of first rate photography . 3\/5 +547 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 order magazine -- do not come for several week . then 3 month come on the same day . Kind of defeat the monthly nature of the periodical . +448 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 if you be into celeb , you 'll like this mag but if you not , it will make you -lrb- ill -rrb- . it have good poster , some of the article be interesting , but for the most part its gossip on celeb . mostly i just use mine for poster , but the quiz be fun too . its also good for little kid and older kid because there not much inappropriate stuff . sometimes its like , `` why tweet almost kill herself '' or '' be Alicia Keys gay '' but other than that its okay . on some of the stuff I be like , ... im agaisnt pop music but if you like r & b , hip-hop , and rap they have some good stuff too . overall its a okay mag , but if its my -lrb- money -rrb- then i would rather go out and buy a tee-shirt . +1 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 this be not as good as I expect for a Scholastic publication . it have a lot of advertising . that surprise I . Parent or Parenting be just as good , if not better , magazine . +35 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 I use to be a subscriber and a avid reader . recently , perhaps in the last two year or so , the quality of the writing have become rather poor . the selection of article be uninteresting , and sometimes half the article themselves be so poorly write as to be unreadable . the fiction be simply mediocre , and the entire magazine seem to be infect with editor Lewis Lapham 's shrill and ever-growing notebook -lrb- do the man ever have anything interesting or original to say ? -rrb- . in short , Harper 's be not the magazine it once be . I would suggest the Atlantic monthly if you want a magazine that be interesting , informative , and well-written , cover to cover . +424 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 I get this magazine subscription free , so no complaint there about the price . that be say , I would never buy this magazine willingly . it try to be edgy and provocative , but fall short in my opinion . only edgy if you have live a sheltered life . the only positive be the magazine format itself and the paper . awesome gloss to it , and I do like how it be bigger than you average mag . +100 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 my only complaint be that I find way too many ad . they should only use full page ad and add more content . +450 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 my granddaughter , age 13 , be crazy about a lot of celebrity . this be the perfect gift for she , and I have just renew the subscription for two more year . the second she know it have arrive , she be off to she bedroom to devour the whole issue . she then go back and read it again . -lrb- I be glad it only come once a month , or I would lose she to she room -rrb- +571 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 Entrepreneur magazine contain far too many advertisement and article that read like advertisement to be a regular read . I only read this magazine when there no other business magazine choice available , or if I be kill time at a airport . choose Inc. magazine if you want a great magazine for entrepreneur ! +168 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 can not be better , a a a a a a a a a a a a mazon ! i love you amazonnnnnnn n n n +717 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 always the standard for photo and content , National Geographic make a great gift to anyone that enjoy this planet and its beauty . +875 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I get a subscription to this magazine , but they only send I a copy every other month ! I end up get only 6 issue when I pay for 12 ! I be sure of this because I save every issue I get just to make sure . also , in the September issue , on page 14 , you can clearly see that MaryKate 's lower back be not real . it be edit . this magazine do not focus on anything interesting and it be not good for older teens . I would never recommend this magazine to anyone ! +396 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 who do not know National Geographic ? despite the term ` national ' in the title , this be a publication that have a international reputation , and have set its sight on explore every inch of the globe , and beyond . School child everywhere use National Geographic as a resource . it be a periodical , however , that go far beyond the school library . interesting , erudite , broad-ranging and fascinating -lrb- in addition to be , dare I say it , educational -rrb- , National Geographic have something for everyone . Articles involve history , culture , sociology , biology , architecture , archaeology , and physical science in addition to the trademark item , geography . recent issue have include article on archaeology of the Indus Valley , earthquake in Turkey , samoan culture , jellyfish , and dinosaur . National Geographic have a knack for combine the timely with the timeless to make each issue interesting from a current event perspective -lrb- recent article on the Golan Heights and tour London show this -rrb- as well as be worthy of retain for future reference by combine history and other detail . couple with the article , National Geographic have fantastic photography . in the June issue , there be a ` family photo ' that be take at the annual photographic seminar in Washington , D.C. , in which more than half of the regular contributor to the magazine be present and photograph around the great seal of National Geographic . accord the caption : ` the 47 man and woman show have collectively log some 700 year take picture for this magazine alone . they have photograph roughly 715 article , and at a current average of 29,000 frame shoot per story , that work out to about 20.7 million image . ' author and photographer for National Geographic be perhaps one of the most diverse lot of people work for any periodical . from urban to rural , civilised to exotic to remote and desolate location ; from peaceful and happy event to battlefield and disaster situation ; from home life to professional life to religious life and beyond , these woman and man have cover almost every aspect of the world -lrb- and beyond ! -rrb- . photographic and journalistic excellence be a hallmark of this magazine , and it show in every issue . but the map ! what about the map ? oh , yes , this be perhaps the distinguish feature of National Geographic , something that be also well-known from school day . Teachers always love to put National Geographic map up on the wall , and issue continue to include the most up-to-date map of country , physical feature , even the moon , planet , and star system . the National Geographic Society be found in 1888 as a nonprofit scientific and educational organization , and have in that time support more than 6500 exploration and research project . they have also include in more recent time to support student with scholarship . for instance , since 1993 they have give a scholarship each year to a british student in conjunction with the british Cartographic Society , in recognition of the outstanding mapmaking student in the UK . this will help continue the tradition on National Geographic . +550 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 they charge my credit card and wait for 7 week never receive it . but when ask for a credit they only give I 1\/2 of my subscription . . for I be a total failure and that a shame because I think the magazine be amass . never hear from a representative from customer service . +893 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I purchase a 1 year subscription for my girlfriend 2 year ago , receive one issue and that be it . attempt to contact the publisher multiple time , no response at all . $ 15 for one issue and a big `` fu '' from the publisher be not a deal . stay away +927 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 we love it and pass it on to my parent who pass it on to my brother - in - law who give it to my sister to take to school . +553 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this magazine have be a terrific little treasure for at least 25 year . I start read it when they print a piece on Bert Lance call `` the money vanish '' during the early carter year . that piece along with a Larry Kramer article during the early day of the hiv epidemic be the two most compelling piece of US journalism I have read in forty year . how any reviewer -lrb- below -rrb- can see Harper 's as a `` leave Oriented Magazine '' be a bright mystery to I . any piece as scathing as `` the money vanish '' could not appear in a left-slanted magazine . the reader should be ready for a hard look at topic from another , challenge perspective . along with the Economist and the Atlantic , this be a magazine I would recommend as brain food for airplane trip and wait room etc. . bascially , Harper 's be the other end of the comtinuum from most of the print medium in the US now . +973 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 fantastic for yourself and a amazing gift . can not go wrong with National Geographic . we grow up look at the photo with my mom and dad when we be little . the article and information help we write report and papers before the " internet age " .

Order a subscription online -- it be much cheaper than buy each issue at a newsstand . ... +277 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 vogue be one of those magazine that I be sure I 'll subscribe to for the rest of my life whether or not I be disgust by it . vogue be so much more than a magazine ; it be a ideal . but I digress . Vogue have huge high point . it be fashion spread be gorgeous . the clother , however , be sometimes odd or ugly , and most of the time expensive . the food column be amazing , and the movie and book review be informative and fun . but it sometimes reek of bad taste , whether talk about $ 2,000 lingerie or whether 11 year old should carry Chanel purse . it give off a whole ` richer-than-thou ' vibe which be vile . I always feel guilty after read the latest issue . it all come down to this : if you be into fashion and expensive thing in general , it be impossible to dislike Vogue . but if you be the crusading type , it be impossible not to find it excessive and crass . +536 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 so far - so good ... Dwell Magazine have always be a favorite magazine for I - for Mid-Century inspire live . my subscription to Dwell arrive on time - within about 4 - 6 week . . so far i have just recieve the one issue - but I have have no problem thus far . +752 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I subscribe to several woodwork magazine and have subscribe to Woodworkers Journal since 1990 . each magazine have a character of it be own with a woodworking level reflect in the complexity of the project it present . this magazine be a bit more complex than , say Wood magazine . it should be understand that some style and esthetic be usually compromise when a project be simplify . I have one of Woodworking Journal 's project in my living room . it be perhaps the most beautiful piece I have ever make . if you have become a advanced amature -lrb- sp ? -rrb- this magazine will give you project that you will take pride in make and show to other . +246 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 the National Geographic Magazine be one of the best magazine I have ever read . it tell we difficult information each month . the imformation that it tell we include a great varity . for example , ` Russia : ten year after ' , ` Hippos : a african spring come alive ' , ` pyramid : who build they ' etc. .

I prefer interview over people or Us because the quality of the interview subject select really stand out over time . if you have not read Interview , most article be people in the art interview by someone they already know or have something in common with . consider it if you would be interest by what would happen to people if it be to be run by the staff of the New Yorker from the 70 's . +398 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 `` Hawaii '' be a magazine devote to cover all aspect of Hawaii , and as such be orient less toward tourist and more toward resident than many other publication . the magazine cover current event in Hawaii , environmental issue on the island , and feature many cultural and heritage-oriented article that many tourist will find of only pass interest . every issue have a useful event calendar for all the island individually -lrb- `` Kauai Happenings , '' etc. -rrb- the editor be very good to cover all the island equitably , with as much emphasis on Kauai as Oahu , for instance . despite the seeming focus on resident , there be many article of interest to visitor , and numerous advertisement of great use to tourist as well . I enjoy visit Hawaii and find the magazine to be worthwhile , and actually enjoy the fact that it be not focus exclusively on the tourist ; the thing I learn from `` Hawaii '' magazine help I to more fully appreciate the beauty and nuance of all the island . I recommend `` Hawaii '' to anyone interested in know more about America 's most tropical state . +161 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I order a month ago still no magazine ... I wasnt aware it take so long for a subscription . I really like vogue magazine I just wish I could get it some time soon to read it . +947 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 I have always be please with the depth and coverage of Kiplinger magazine and report . however , this time I be a little disappointed . the Retirement Report cost significantly more than the magazine but do not seem to give I a appropriate value . true , be that I have only review one issue and they may have have the summer doldrums , so before you put you money down look for a issue you can study to see if it cover what you want it to ... unfortunately I do not take my own advice ... shame on I . +413 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 National Geographic offer a broad overview about almost all interesting issue concern history , science and nature . I always enjoy to get the next issue since besides the main theme on the cover there be a variety of additional coverage of present and past matter . also the effect of global warming , foreign culture , historic event and process , the destruction of nature by man and many social problem in Third World country be describe and explain in detail . I just love that magazine and do not want to miss it anymore . it be worth to collect it in a slipcase or anything like that . the coverage often have up-to-date reference but also there be many article and passage which be just timeless . this subscription at amazon I have purchase for a dear friend who have not the money to buy the monthly issue , just to share everything with she . I be sure she 'll enjoy the magazine since she be so much interested in all those issue deal with . I would recommend it highly . for everyone who be interested I even would recommend to go ahead into the next bookshop and take a look into the current issue , just to get a overview what I be write about . enjoy reading ! I look forward to each come monthly issue of this great magazine . +457 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 awesome price !!! awesome product !!! fast delivery !!! who could ask for more ??? thanks so much ! God bless you !! : -rrb- +963 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 just a great magazine . I usually read it cover to cover as soon as I get it . this rank up there with Fortune and Inc for people who want to make money and run they own business . +80 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 Bottom-Line : I subscribe to `` Interview Magazine '' but I will not be renew my subscription . I have be make a conscience effort of late to expand my horizon , to get out of -lrb- magazine reading -rrb- comfort zone . to that end I have cast my reading net out from the usual news rag , and start read a new diverse set of magazine , include Esquire , Ebony , Business Week , US , People , Popular Science , Jet , Car & driver , essence , laptop magazine , Travel & leisure , cook , and `` Interview Magazine '' , just to name a few . for a person like I who usually frequent the aforementioned news magazine , `` Interview Magazine '' be like a culture shock . first off the magazine be large ; larger in fact than any magazine you might find on the newsstand or in the local chain book store with the exception of Rolling Stone . second the magazine be print on thick paper stock , which have a gritty feel to it ; say good-bye to glossy and hello to matte and muted color . `` Interview Magazine '' feature advertisement , wall to wall advertisement ; the interview with up-and-coming and established celebrity intersperse throughout the page of the magazine seem almost coincidental . I be currently read the April 2007 issue , with a large invite picture of Liv Tyler on the front cover . to the magazine credit it do try and cover the full spectrum of entertainment from fashion to music , from art to the movie and place in between . most of the interview -- especially those do on up-and-coming star and starlet 's -- be mere snapshot of the person personal and or professional life ; there be little sink my proverbial intellectual , or even mildly interested tooth into . there be just enough there to try and goad I into find out more . the in-depth interview be a lot more fulfil ; most of these be do by other celebrity ; for instance in this issue Rose McGowan be interview by Quentin Tarantino , and Liza Minnelli interview musician Gerald Way . past issue have follow this same formulum , with mostly good result , mean I have enjoy the interview and image . but the one huge downside to `` Interview Magazine '' be its slavish devotion to advertising . in fact the first 50 page of this issue be devote to wall-to-wall cut edge , youth-inspired clothing and fragrance advertising . the masthead of the magazine be stick somewhere with this advertising soup , but the table of contents do not show up until one third of the magazine be leaf through -- very annoying ! not only that , but every celebrity image be accompany by a solid paragraph on who make what they be wear , who style they hair , who do they make-up , and incredibly , what fragrance they happen to be wear during the shoot ! be this a example of advertising run amok , or be I be far too sensitive and demand in want `` Interview Magazine '' to at least be a magazine and not a run-on poster board for the chic and impossibly unfettered youth of America -lrb- New York City -rrb- and Europe be wear ? but so many magazine follow this advertisement-on-every-page formulum ; be this the new norm , and should I get use to it ? I could in `` Interview Magazine 's '' case if most of the writing be not so rush and devoid of substance . this be something I allude to above ; sound-bite have they place , but not inside the cover of a magazine name `` Interview Magazine '' , where I at least expect to learn something more about a artist than where they be discover , they age , or how often they frequent Starbucks . it be call substance and `` Interview Magazine '' just do not have enough to justify its larger than life existence . I subscribe to `` Interview Magazine '' but I will not be renew my subscription ; in this case my bid to broaden my horizon find a mostly vapid landscape full of waste paper , muted color , and questionable prose . +247 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I try to leave no star , but I be not allow . do not do it ... you 'll never get it . shame on Amazon for not remove this subscription as a option . +326 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 it you live in Canada be warn , magazine be always late by at least one issue , they customer service very unhelpful . buy it at the newsstand . +338 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 this magazine be order on June 30th , my Son have not recieve it yet ???????? so can not comment on a review at this time . +43 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 by far the best photographic magazine on the planet ... a must have for any world traveler or photo junkie . a beautiful magazine . +728 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 it be strange -- I would never consider save any of my other magazine subscription , but somehow I have every single copy of National Geographic go back to the 1960 . it be just the type of magazine that you can go back to , decade later , leaf through it and discover something new -lrb- or old , as the case may be -rrb- . in a perfect world , I would also have enough space to display my favorite fold-out map from this magazine . +556 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 I like this magazine and just renew my subscription . two thing I do not like ... 1 . the cover title be deceive . example : they 'll say someone be `` leave forever '' when they be not leave the show ... just leave a relationship . many article be not what they seem base on the cover 's title . but , that be ok . the article be usually pretty good anyway . 2 . the news be often old by the time it be print . that happen because it only come out every 2 week . I also read Soap Opera Digest , which be weekly and more up to the minute . but , overall I like this magazine because of the feature article on each show . I like that they be all ABC show . I do not care about show on other channel so magazine that feature those be just waste of paper for my taste . +4 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I feel compel to write a short note after receive a renewal notification too early . I first order the Journal in June 05 , I receive a renewal that I think be in order in March 06 , now I be get another one in Dec 06 . it seem Amazon be engage in some behavior that take several month of subscription time away from consumer who order through they . be careful +921 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 Chloe be far from geeky , she be Hollywood 's best keep secret . the sexy sultry 27 year old woman have make straight woman all over America turn they head in amazement , well at least , for I . she be the only actress in the business who do not feel the need to show off she perfectly shaped butt ... and for that I look up to she . I would love to see this hip indie actress hit the mainstream ; she need to teach Hollywood a thing or two on how to be real and not so superficial . she attitude will light up the screen and I can not wait to see it . kudos to Chloe ! +444 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 Harper 's magazine be quite simply the single most comprehensive and highest quality literary rag to date . display a unabashed moderate to left wing view , it be a publication for the people . Unafraid to poignantly uncover some of the world 's most touchy subject , this magazine also proudly display some of the most talented writer and essayist in the world . with former contributor include V.S. Naipul , Joyce Carol Oates , Don Dilillo , et al. , you would be hard press to find a literary rival . fun , user friendly , challenging , and eye opening , Harper 's be just the best thing out there . hold a firm edge over such other as Atlantic monthly , the New Yorker , Mother Jones , and the Economist , Harper 's deliver information and creativity with zeal unmatched in today 's magazine scene . +981 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I order a subscription to National Geographic after read through a recent copy at a doctor 's appointment . I do not read through the magazine cover to cover , but there be more than enough interesting content to keep I look forward to the next issue . I would give the magazine itself a 5 star . however , after receive a current issue as expect , I receive three back issue . when I check the end date of my subscription through the National Geographic website , it show as three month earlier than the subscription end date accord to Amazon . in other word , they be dump three back issue on I in one month and count that toward my 12 month subscription . I guess I still get the 12 issue I pay for , but I want 12 month of worthwhile reading , not a month of more than I can get through follow by 9 month of a great magazine . I be able to call and get the end date fix , but I be sure a lot of people do not bother or notice until magazine stop show up before they should have . overall , it be a great magazine , just make sure you be get what you pay for . +354 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 interview be one of my favorite magazine . the interview be always good . I think that the interview be more candid since it be do by peer . I also think that the photo shoot in the Interview be some of the best around . +899 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 Dear Sir : we have not receive a single copy so far . be something the matter ? cordially yours , SEBASTIAN SUCRE +490 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 this magazine be chock-full of celebrity gossip , schmoozy breakup story and wannabe such as Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff diss each other . if you be eleven year old , this may be what you want . but for anybody older than preteen , this magazine do no provide . multi millionare complain about how hard they life be issue after issue get really old , really quickly . for more sophisticated teens , there be much better magazine available . +179 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I have see many craft magazine come and go . I hope this one go . grant , there be no commercial advertising in it , but pay anything over $ 1.98 per issue would be too much . the craft be mainly useless , juvenile , and lack polish . I purchase my subscription sight unseen because it be through support a local school -lrb- the only save grace to this whole experience -rrb- , but that be a mistake I will not make again . it take at least three month after order it that I finally receive my first issue . I open it with great expectation of find original and practical craft for my home , but be immediately thoroughly disappointed . thankfully , my subscription will be expire soon . if you be a serious crafter , I recommend pass by this one . +795 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 in one year 's time , I never receive several of the issue . I believe it be two issue that just never show up . not sure whose fault that be , but it be annoy . I know I be move soon and decide instead of renew , I would just start a new subscription at my new address . as the subscription run out , I be mortify to start receive debt-collection style renewal notice in the mail . big red letter with word like `` Past Due '' be stamp on the outside of the envelope . I be shock that a magazine that feature high-end fashion would stoop to such cheap , trashy method of get renewal . though I enjoy the magazine and love the photo shoot , those notice really turn I off and I decide not to start up a subscription . +961 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 read the headliner for this review , as well as the other 1-star review . I be go back to my revolver and game informer . bye . +839 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 I be invite by Amazon.com to review Interview magazine . it be time to re-new my subscription and Amazon.com offer a better price than Interview itself . -lrb- my business refuse to buy -lrb- or subscribe -rrb- to any magazine which cost more than a dollar a issue . interview be display in the reception area so it be like ` free advertising ' for the mag . -rrb- if you be not familiar with this publication then let I say right-off-the-bat that it be originally started\/published by Andy Warhol . interest now ? one of the thing I love about the mag be : many\/most of the interview be do by non-journalist . how would you like to have : Keith Richards interview Johnny Depp ? or Gwyneth Paltrow talk to Stella McCartney about she latest show ? that be the way interview approach it . most of the time interview be way ahead of the curve ; you will see the movie , hear the album , read the book , etc. long after the ` interview ' appear in Interview ; which imply you better hang-on to you copy , to read later what be discuss , once you have have the subjective experience yourself .

I have be repeatedly disappoint by article be too short on subject I be esp . interested in -lrb- wildlife mostly -rrb- , too long on other -lrb- geography \/ anthropology -rrb- , and not technical enough . the latter might be a good thing if you be absolutely allergic to science , but take into account that I be not a scientist . when I say that something be not technical enough , it really mean that it be superficial ... other than that , the article be well write . the picture be excellent , and that be what motivate I to give 3 star . however , I often wish there would be more of they ... note that nearly each issue include a large format fold map or some kind of graphic display illustrate the main article . from my point of view , this be quite a waste of money , since I do not use those much . they be probably perfect if you want to discuss the article with teenager though . personnally , ! I wish there be no map and more picture . I be not go to renew my subscription , but this be more a fit issue than a judgement of the quality of the product . I encourage people to buy a single issue before decide . +675 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 if you really like music , this magazine be for u. this magazine contain a lot of pic and poster . if ur one of those who have a empty wall in ur room and want to jazz it up a little with lot of poster , this mag be 4 u !!! +167 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I pick up a copy recently and find the same mind-numbing drivel -lrb- regard salmon in the Northwest -rrb- that can be find at any uber-leftist commune . all slant , even the fact . if the magazine be that far off base on something that I know quite a lot about , how can I trust anything else that it print from part of the world that I do not know ? ...

I have be subscribe to it for about 2 year before it fold . I find a few omni-like glossy mag twin thereafter , but they all fold as well . finally , I find the magazine of Fantasy and Science fiction and Analog and have be consistently subscribe to other for the past 10 yr . both of the latter be outstanding ` zine but for I , Analog be the best because it satisfy the craving for hard sci fi and \* fact \* at the same time . if F&SF; & Analog ever have to close up shop then I would hope they would merge because then I would have my hard sci fi , fact \* and \* horror\/fantasy all in a one stop shop . +181 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I always like the National Geographic . a very respectable magazine with great reportage , a lot of interesting cultural and educational material , which can boast the top photographer . either if you like animal or science fiction , technology or social study , you will find some interesting article in each new issue . +533 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 this magazine be very bias in a few company -lrb- Apple , for example -rrb- . it be only useful as a advertisement for franchise and have very little to offer in term of idea , point of view , problem , solution etc. . this magazine would not help you if you be look to START a business . . only if you be look to buy one , such as the many franchise they constantly push . . franchise be very difficult to `` break even '' with , and have unnecessary cost , so I avoid those altogether , but this magazine seem to have only one or two interesting and educational article per annum . go with Money magazine instead , it be leap and bound ahead of this excuse for a read . +631 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 the best thing about National Geographic be the photography . I like this magazine because it allow you to travel the world from the comfort of you favorite chair . the article be a little boring sometimes . -lrb- the reviewer be compensate for post this review . however , the opinion state in the review be that of the reviewer and the reviewer alone . further , the reviewer independently select this product to review and have no affiliation with the product maker\/distributor , Amazon or the review requester . -rrb- +145 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 this have to be one of the better magazine that feature spiritual and uplifting message . this magazine be perfect for a source of interfaith christian article that be uplight and inspirational . often there be article on famous people who discuss they spiritual life . they have some excellent column and story from other reader .

I find it timely , informative , provocative and in-depth in term of its coverage of issue . I particularly like they `` week in review '' feature , whereby they review event of the week and provide some pointed commentary . but where I particularly come to appreciate the Weekly Standard be in the debate over moral issue -- they offer innovative and clear argument in favor of traditional family value , use solid research and up-to-date statistics from numerous different discipline , while avoid the usual worn rhetoric of the family value crowd -lrb- among which I include myself as a Casey Democrat . -rrb- +696 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 `` natural history '' be the official popular journal publish by the american museum of natural history , the oldest - and largest - museum of natural history in the western Hemisphere and without question , one of the world 's greatest museum . in its page it have feature brilliant essay by the likes of Roy Chapman Andrews , Margaret Mead , and Stephen Jay Gould , to name but a few of the many eminent scientist - both museum staff and outsider - who have contribute superb article on natural history to this magazine . it have retain a emphasis on scientific discovery , publish article pertain to ecology and other aspect of evolutionary biology -lrb- include paleobiology -rrb- , geology , astrophysics , archaeology and anthropology . recent issue have include brief article on biomechanic of various live organism , those pertain to recent and current exhibition such as the Petra exhibition on display at the museum from the fall of 2003 to early summer 2004 , and current ecological and anthropological research . current museum scientist , most notably Neil deGrasse Tyson , the director of the Hayden Planetarium , often report in these page on they ongoing research as well as on issue of a more general nature that might interest a scientifically-literate public . and to its credit , it have not shy away from controversy , publish for example , a issue on so-called `` Intelligent Design '' , which be see by its adherent as a compete scientific alternative to evolution via natural selection , but lack any scientific credibility from professional scientist , science educator and like-minded member of the general public . +250 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I purchase this mag . on 3\/29 , it be now 5\/13 and I still have not receive it . +455 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 the Digest 's cartoon in the December issue would be inappropriate in any magazine but in a catholic magazine it border on disgust and blasphemous !!!

I enjoy article profile designer , get a glimpse into other ' home , make the most of small space , and learn about home on a more global basis . they fresh take on technology and go green be very refreshing , and waaay beyond the old `` install a CFL light bulb and you be green ! '' . I must admit , however , that Dwell do seem to be california-heavy and have a lot of article on architect and they home or extremely expensive furniture , but they still branch out enough to give one a sense of , say , the use of color in India , float home in the Netherlands , or home build as urban infill . they have also be do a great job recently explore smaller home and apartment , a breath of fresh air from other in this business . it be a good and worthwhile read that will help you explore non-traditional material , design , and thought on the industry of `` home '' . +614 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 if you love to pull out that acoustic and knock off a few song when the world seem to be go crazy and you soul need the healing energy of music , then you should read this magazine . it provide good product review , play tip , and song tab . also helpful be tip for tuning up and maintain you guitar so it stay in the best playing condition . although I be not a fan of magazine ad , the ad in this magazine be cool because they provide useful information about new product and service that would otherwise be difficult to discover . the interview with top acoustic player like James Taylor , Neil Young & Bert Jansch be also a big plus . in all honesty , I do not read every issue -- I grab issue when they have something I be interested in . in sum , if you be serious about play that Martin or Gibson sit in the corner , then read Acoutic Guitar every now and then -- you will learn something ! +382 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 the only diabetes magazine out there worth the money and the reading time ... lot of good info and advice . +579 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 be widow with very limited financial resource , National Geographics be one of my little luxury . it be due for renewal , thanks to Amazon I could do that at a affordable price and do not have to discontinue it .

I will always subscribe to Harper 's -- regardless of what direction my political or philosophical view may take . +561 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I agree with the other person who state that he have to stop subscribe to this mag because of all the offer receive . ever since Norman Vincent Pearle who originally create this magazine pass away they start to bombarde people with offer to spend more money all the time and it get riduculous ! I always love the magazine with the true story , and would resubscribe but have to stop for the same reason and it be a shame . +681 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I have read this for 6 month , although reading be a overstatement . this be a magazine you can flip through in about 10 minute . it be 90 % ad , 10 % article -lrb- most of which appear to be ad -rrb- . they continually talk about all the newest tech , very little of which relate to business . the cost analysis of gadget be bad . very bad . +320 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I love j-14 . this be one of the few magazine that i think be worth subscribe to . it have all the latest gossip about star , the true or false section set you straight about some of the rumor fly around -lrb- be Mandy Moore and Kelly Osbourne really best friend ??? buy this to find out ! -rrb- and there be a bunch of poster from a variety of people . in the back there be top 10 's for hottest guy , hottest girl , best in pop , best in rock and more . though i do notice that in the music area they stick to mainly pop and rap artist and i be more of a punck and hard rock person . well , it all depend on what you like , but i reccomend this to anyone who like movie , music and fashion .

I mean , some be okay , but they think that celebrity be the center of we life . well , that be not true . it be a okay magazine but it really need to focus more on real issue . the title be also a little off . it be actually aim more at pre-teens . if you be a teen , you will probably want something more mature like CosmoGirl or seventeen . +959 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I love j-14 .

I have subscribe for 3 year and every issue be very good . +977 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 if you love fashion , you need to get Vogue . Vogue will familiarize you with designer , classic style and the fancy-schmancy side of fashion that most other magazine will not get as deep into . however , most of what be in Vogue be way out of the average person 's reach . I , for one , could very likely not afford one thing that have ever be in a single copy of Vogue . however , for whatever reason , the Vogue empire continue to publish this fashion tome and sell the sub for a very low price -lrb- usually $ 12 for 12 issue -rrb- . now that I can afford . it be a unbeatable deal . will you glean anything from it ? yes . you will see how the other side life and you will see some really wonderful photography and fashion at its best . be it practical ? not really but it be fun and well worth the very low price . +383 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 the guidepost magazine help keep my faith go . I love these magazine because they be not focus on specific religion -lrb- Catholic , Baptist , Jewish , etc. -rrb- and article be write by reader with they everyday life . if I start to have doubt , read the magazine usually help erase doubt . if I start to feel low\/no spirit , the magazine usually really uplift my spirit . I have be a subscriber for about 20 year . +627 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 love the magazine but rarely get they . my husband get my a subscription last Christmas and I have receive about two third of the issue . the customer service usually response quickly and about a month after I complain , I get the issue about a month later . +449 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 National Geographic have always be one of my favorite magazine . the picture be always stunning and the article be always interesting and informative . it be a great way to learn new thing about science and about other culture without actually be there . +244 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 the industry expert all agree : Selling Power be a well respect resource at a low cost . fill with sale tip , article , and valuable resource . the article be well write for sale people and a few for sale manager . for example , the other day i read a article about the top six thing not to say when start a sale call . and resource like sale presentation software , and sale training company like positive result . once per year they have a issue call top 500 sale force . this be a great resource for potential employer as well as sale prospects . for sale manager , I recommend sale & Marketing Management Magazine . Education empower . to be the best in you industry and keep on top of you game - subscribe to Selling Power . PositiveResults.com ... +972 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this be a very good magazine , I have be get it since 1988 and have improve 100 % since the early day of this publication ! well write , great picture of food ! they travel all around the world bring new and exciting food 's that we do not have here in America ! you will be very pleased ! +785 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 for I , the September issue of Vogue , with its 700 page issue , be more than eye candy . it be art . it be that simple . I no longer look at most of the fashion in the magazine , nor the model , as realistic , something that can ever transfer into my own life , nor would I want it to . it remind I of trip to art museum where I can admire one painting half the afternoon , but it do not mean I want it hang on my wall at home . Vogue 's photography be exquiste , pure art . the glossy page , the vibrant , sometimes muted color , seem to jump off the page . the image make my mind wander and explore . when I finally get over the ridiculous price and the more ridiculously thin model with leg longer than I be tall , I be able to fully appreciate the artistry of the ad and fashion spread . I find the ad be as engaging as the fashion spread , which be a good thing , for the magazine be at least half ad . some of the article be quite good as well . I scan the few society article , and I have be surprise at the high number of well-written piece that apply to the average world-wise woman . Cosmo reader most likely will not find much in Vogue , but I would say woman over 30 , who be relatively sophisticated , will find article gear toward they . overall , Vogue be a high end publication with excellent , artistic photographer and produce rather sweet eye candy with a good number of current , well-written non-fashion article . +962 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I get this every year for my son at christmas . he be 29 and love the magazine . +135 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 not certain I understand the fuss about National Geographic cover so many international geographic topic and issue . 1 . hello ! the magazine be the journal of the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY . -lrb- you think Scientific American will not cover the Nobel Prize because it be award in Sweden ? -rrb- 2 . geography be about spatial analysis and scale . geographic issue can not be contain within a single formal regional border . -lrb- for example , can you really look at El Paso , TX , without investigate it be relationshiip to Ciudad Juarez right across the border ? -rrb- 3 . my family have be read this magazine for 50 year . it have always cover the entire world , as `` GEOGRAPHY '' mean ' a description of the world ' . 4 . what about newer feature such as zip code , which cover in detail one single micro-region of the US . 5 . to say that it should primarily cover the US be a surprisingly narrow , us-centric view of what really matter in the world . this be the point of view that explain the sad state of complete geographic knowledge in the US . but enough of that . still the best magazine , not just for we Geography major , but for see how geography fit into the entire academic world . if you want to know how sense of space and place be related to physical and natural science , as well as politics , economics , anthropology and history , this be the best value for the money . +370 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 National Geographic be a exceptional magazine that have keep be quality high in both its write product and its photography . +676 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 current subscriber , the Amazon price be less than the renewal price for a current customer . look forward to we renewal to continue now into 2012 . +309 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 Harper 's , like the Atlantic and the New Yorker be write for those look for more in-depth analysis and coverage on political and cultural affair with a sampling of serious literary prose . personally I prefer the Atlantic , which I read regularly , only pick up Harper 's when I have time and something in it interest I , which be usually two or three time a year . just look at the cover and page inside convey Harper 's as a serious tome , perhaps too serious for the casual reader , especially compare to the more colorful page of the Atlantic and playful New Yorker cartoon . nevertheless , Harper 's be a american icon in it be genre have publish many article from great name since it be inception in 1850 . a number of reviewer complain about it be leave lean and that stance clearly sprout from the now recently depart editor Lewis Lapham , who have be a outspoken critic of the current administration . Mr. Lapham share he view in a two page opinion piece and in the full page listing of various `` fun fact '' know as the Harper 's index . serious reader will be able to get beyond this as simply a `` viewpoint '' and see the entire magazine for the serious writing that it be . I would contend this represent the best in `` critical analysis '' rather than bias . I would also simply suggest you view the other review make by people espouse this periodical as overly bias . for instance , at least one of those claim liberal bias here be also praise a Ann Coulter book . so if you feel underwhelm by the typical content you get even in a 60 minute broadcast or a political round table free-for-all and you be interested enough in this magazine to read it be review , you should probably pick up a copy of it for two or three month and give it a try . I recommend you also check out the New Yorker and the Atlantic to compare . +701 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 same subscription cost $ 19.95 on they website ! save the extra money and subscibe on they website . really can not explain the difference in cost . +177 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this be a outstanding journal . the article be diverse , informative , and current . other than possibly Scientific American , there be not better journal for the life science . a earlier reviewer critize the journal for not use the metric system . personally , I do not find this to be a problem with a journal which be primarly qualitative and not quantitative . +466 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 the magazine be Vogue , you know what you be get into there and you either love it or hate it . personally I love it ! my issue be that when I order it through Amazon , it take forever to get my first copy ! I get the last month 's issue ... the current month 's issue come in the middle of the month ! I still havent receive THIS month 's issue , which be very annoying . I could have just continue buy my Vogue off the newsstand and get it earlier ! they really need to fix they delivery time , as its extremely frustrating . +267 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 let 's be honest here ... 50 $ be way too much for a cute little sundress for I . I love fashion , Vogue , and all that stuff , but I be never go to buy clothes like that -lrb- or even wear they , give my southern small-town culture -rrb- . I still love Vogue , because of the photography , and ad . I like make collage , and tear out photo that be cool look . I have subscribe for half a year , and I have yet to read a article ... who need it when you have those tempting glossy page full of photo-shopped model that do not look a thing like that in reality ? get it anyway ... no other fashion magazine compare +690 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 receive 3 issue , then it stop , and we have be get renewal request since then . do not purchase this ever !!! +845 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 if you like a modern view of architecture and living in general , this be it . the article be well write and interesting . the ad tend to go for the high end market , but be interesting . well worth the $ . +289 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this great magazine show you how awesome it be to live the Western Life ! +430 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 despite what many people say about Amazon 's magazine subscription , I like amazon 's . it arrive a month later I order just like most magazine subscription . I be a bit annoyed by the fact that the magazine be not covered\/packed with plastic bag or something like that -lrb- National geography alwasy put they little magazine in the plastic bag ! : d -rrb- . but other than that no problem at all ! and magazine itself be good ... +389 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I grow up read National Geographic , cherish its splendid photography and exceptional journalism . indeed , it have get better over time , offer cutting-edge story range from genetics to global warming . to its everlasting credit , National Geographic have never lose sight of the `` human element '' in its story , provide its readership with balanced reporting cover all side of a issue , often take the pulse of those affect . it be - and still remain - a exciting armchair `` explorer '' , take reader to distant locale across the globe . but now , you be as likely to read about dispose nuclear waste in the former Soviet Union as well as the people of a newly independent country in the South Pacific . one of National Geographic 's strongest strength have be its photography , and its current staff include some of today 's finest documentary photographer and photojournalist , whose work often rival that from independent photo agency such as black star and Magnum Photos . without question , this remain one of the finest magazine publish now . +362 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 you have send this review request out too early .

I also be a big fan of its tv special and now the cable channel . my favorite issue of the magazine have always involve animal , especially marine life . they concern for the environment be obvious but the magazine also cover people who have to live off the land like the indigenous people in the Artic . there be always two side to every story . I also enjoy read about other culture from around the world , like Japan and China . after read this magazine for over two decade , I find myself still entertain by National Geographic . the photograph and article be consistent and interesting . it be a timeless treasure to be enjoy for generation to come and should teach everyone to respect each other and this planet . +368 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 the price on Amazon be amazing ... I just have National Geographic call and try to bargain we down to $ 34 ... we love the magazine , but why continue to pay this ng price by go directly to the magazine ~ which we have be do for over 10 + year .

I think it be a bit overpriced and sometimes the article be a bit dull and dry . that be why I rank this a high four\/low five star . overall , if I could only get one magazine ; this would be one of the top contender . well worth the money . enjoy . +163 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 interview be definitely a different type of magazine for I - someone who usually read business and travel mag - and it be not quite what I expect . with a title like `` Interview '' I read my first copy of this magazine anticipate page and page of nothing but interview . it turn out that interview be the main focus of the magazine , but it be not the only one . there be substantial space give to fashion , movie , and other area , too . some of these column be worth a occasional look , but they fail to grab my attention . the writer seem to play it safe , and that include the interview section . they do not ask many daring or controversial question . they keep it simple , ask question about a entertainer 's latest album or movie , without delving much into they personal life . interview have many general annoyance . my greatest complaint be the advertising and the arrangement of the contents . about half of the page in each issue be cover with ad , with fashion , liquor , beer , and hair care item provide the bulk of the advertising revenue . the ad be everywhere , with the majority in the front page of each issue . the table of contents be bury , and I find this very frustrating . the contents start with the interview for that specific issue on one page , then a few page later , proceed to the remainder of the contents , which be the regular monthly feature . what be annoying be that you have to search for the table of contents . it vary from one issue to the next , fall somewhere in the first half . interview also vary greatly in length . some issue be as short as 80 page while other be more than 200 page long . the shorter issue use staple for bind while the longer issue be bind in a more professional way , minus any metal . this magazine center on entertainer , fashion , music , and the like . you will not find any interview with politician , businessman , etc. . interview stick strictly to entertainer , and that include the regular monthly column . you will not find a column about the business side of the music industry or film industry . you will find only article about the star themselves . interview 's only saving grace be the photography . it would make a nice gift for those who enjoy fashion and who like look at page and page of man and woman modeling fancy clothing . but in many way , the photo be overemphasize and there be not enough substance to the magazine . the article be very shallow with more eye candy than read material . overall , Interview be sloppy and cluttered with too many ad to make it worthwhile reading material . my subscription be free , and I be thankful that it be . besides a few nice photo for clothing , there be not much to make this magazine worth the cost . +829 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 if it be in Vogue , it be in fashion ! this magazine , which have exist since 1892 , be one of the premier magazine for woman . it be a american magazine , but also have australian , brazilian , british , french , german , italian , and spanish edition . it cover fashion , beauty , health , fitness , celebrity , movie , art , and other topic of interest to woman . vogue be mainly direct at the Jet-Set , but anyone will find its page both entertaining , and informative . I have a subscription to it , and I collect it on the basis of its collectibility . Mine arrive in clear plastic bag , which be never open -lrb- unless of course one of my favorite celebritie 's be on the cover -rrb- . I wish all magazine publisher use the clear bag method of shipping , because a subscription label directly on the cover of a magazine be frown upon by most collector . so unless you buy it right off the shelf , or it be bag , most collector will not be interested in it . get back to Vogue , if you want to keep up with what be in in fashion , this be the magazine to have . you know those $ 1,000 dress you have hear about ? you 'll find many of they model in here ! fashion photograph by some of the world 's most renowned photographer , be feature in the magazine . if you be someone who enjoy read about the elite in woman 's topic , you 'll want to subscribe to VOGUE . +668 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 this be unbelievable , I put my order at jun. 1 2010 and get cancel at jul. by the reason of `` in error '' . then email Amazon to clarify the whole thing out . the only good thing be Amazon offer I a coupon to match my original price -lrb- without this , I 'll grad it `` one star '' -rrb- . right now , it be mid Aug. , I still do not have my first issue yet . 2 and half month ... be careful guy . +283 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 of the two exist review here currently , you could not get much different response . ironically , I be right in the middle . I be not Kama'aina -lrb- native -rrb- to Hawaii , but Hawaii be my passion ; I live , breath , and sleep it . Hawaii be a place to be respect and love . so how do Hawaii magazine handle that task ? well , I guess it depend on what you be look for . if you want the more tourist side flavor to Hawaii , then the magazine probably will be what you enjoy . if you be look for more native and eco-tourism base stuff , do not expect as much . occasionally they 'll put in piece that be not half bad on this topic , but it could be better . there recent anniversary edition be pretty good , but overall it still seem more like one big advertisement for tourist . of course , that be where the money be , but you would think a magazine call +842 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 this be a great magazine to learn about what other people be do with they business . not only that , I find it very inspirational . this be not something that be go to take you from a 9-to-5 to run you own business , but it will definitely help you if you be already there . +502 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this be a amazing magazine that explore interest all over the world with no boundry and lot of honesty . definently a must for the curious or just anybody with interest other than fashion and quiz . +831 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 this magazine be great just for keep the spirit . it be fill with many success story . but hardly any of those success story include the detail that lead they into success . it be also extremely gear towards franchise . every other article , and every other ad be about franchise . I have a one year subscription and at this point I be bore . I 'll keep the subscription , but it be highly unlikely that I will renew next year . \*\*\* Though one should check out they web site at entrepreneur.com . you will find that it be the total opposite of the magazine , and will prove to be a great wealth of information . +472 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 i think j-14 be a really good magazine if u like to hear the latest gossip about all you favorite celebrity 's , or if u like to get nice poster of all the hot celebrity 's , or even if u like to take those quiz to find out lot of neat different thing !! i recomend this magazine to anyone who like either of those thing ! +210 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 I be a subscriber to National Geographic for fifteen year until last December when I let my subscription lapse . why ? three reason -- 1 . the map . I use to love the great map that you would get all the time . well , the number of map per year keep drop to the point where it be hard to justify pay the amount of money for the subscription for fewer map . plus the map that be come out be less and less useful . be it really a `` map '' if its a picture of some dinosaur ? or picture of the `` native people '' that live throughout the land ? or any other picture for that matter ? I want a map I can use ! I want a map that I can hang up on a wall to find stuff when I need it , not a bunch of pretty picture . the last straw come in 2002 when the back of one of the map contain a advertisement for a truck ! 2 . the story be no longer interesting . I mean , when you decide to pull a random zip code in the US to make a story out of it , it be no longer fun . National Geographic use to be about discover the new and unique . today it seem more appropriate to show you thing you probably already new . 3 . the cost . the cost of the magazine seem to keep go up , go up 15 % between 2001 and 2002 . I recognize cost keep go up , but this be ridiculous . National Geographic tend to be one of those `` keep forever '' type magazine . well , what good be it for I to have this huge collection of magazine that I be not interested in read ? in short , National Geographic may be great for kid with school project , but a waste of money for adult . i guess some people may think `` no ! you can not insult National Geographic ! '' but I call it like I see it . stop and think , be you read the magazine you be buy or do you just not want to stop the twenty year tradition of yellow bookshelf ? +14 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 I do live in Chicago , so my viewpoint may be different than that of someone who do not live here and probably only come here once a month . i subscribe to this magazine 2 year ago , before the Tribune Co. buy it . it have several great article each month and be really relevant not only to people live in Chicago , but to those who have just move here . I still have several of those because they be so good to have . some of my favorite , and headlining , article include : Chicago 's best new restaurant -lrb- May 2001 -rrb- , Chicago 's Guide to Summer -lrb- May 2001 -rrb- , 25 Weekend Getaways -lrb- June 2001 -rrb- , Guide to survive O'Hare -lrb- Feb. 2001 -rrb- when I resubscribe 6 month ago -lrb- post Tribune buy out -rrb- I start to notice it be cater to a different set of people . it now at least seem to have a lot less article and they be a lot more relevant to people who live in the suburb , or be Chicago old-money . definitely cater to the 50 + crowd now . from the Jan. 2003 edition : Chicago 's top doctor , from the Dec. 2002 edition : the most expensive thing in town , and look at this month 's highlight ` Chicago 's richest people ' . . why do I care ?

I think Christopher Eccleston be the best doctor yet and then along come David Tennant ! I can not wait for series 3 . +859 Movies_TV POS 5 cute animated movie . however this be NOT the DISNEY version +933 Movies_TV POS 4 much like the gam +607 Movies_TV NEG 2 I find this series almost painful to watch at time . Dr who be always great `` cheesy '' fun , but this new version take itself far too seriously at time - make the cheese-factor something you laugh at , rather than laugh along with . there be far too many episode in London -lrb- it feel like a council promo at time ... -rrb- and some of the support character be hugely annoying - especially Mickey , who often have I cheer for the bad guy in the hope that the annoying little so-and-so would get kill in some hilarious -lrb- and preferably gory -rrb- fashion . on the plus side ; David Tennant be perfect as the Doctor , and Billie Piper be also fantastic as the down-to-earth and likable sidekick - they have a great chemistry . some of the visual be excellent , and occasionally it do actually hit the mark when try to be poignant . unfortunately , this show miss a whole lot more than hit for I . +443 Movies_TV POS 5 I order a new copy of Peter Pan . it have part that skip and stick . I contact customer service and they respond immediately . the product must have be defective . they issue a full refund right away . thanks for handle this so nicely and for a speedy refund . highly recommend this seller . +711 Movies_TV NEG 2 a simple question . all write should really be critique by modern script editor and writer , even producer , by five basic question - who ? where ? what ? how ? why ? sadly these very basic question be not bring into play when show like this be make . much of modern television writing be very sad , but the effort tend to survive via hungry , lethargic audience in need of escapism that find delight in sexual content , glossy effect , and kitschy but vapid symbolism\/content . all story base entertainment have to have strong story to be excellent , and this be really , really , really awful scripting . that be say , I do want to say that Tennant be probably the best doctor since Tom Baker , and if he can refine the character a little and cut out some of the hectoring speech and slobber he might be the television character of the decade . the production value of the new series -lrb- aside from write -rrb- be brilliant ! but many of the actor can not shine because the scripting be so limited and flabby to center on glitz rather then character - a shame since so many british actor be brilliant at make greater then life , enigmatic and memorable performance when give good script and direction . Davies seem to have a penchant for the hilarity that be put the ` doctor ' in HOSPITALS . har har , such a great joke , especially to kick off a new doctor . 90 % of the season deteriorate into logicless monster and motive . awful denouement tend to involve the Davies signature machina-ex-due with a super magic wand sonic screwdriver . cop out galore ! and if that isn ; t enough , you get a surprise oral sex gag for the kiddie , and a slew of black tie party , east ender , and sappy sexual situation that take the place of the base instinct of survival and greed that make the series able to continue through the decade . if write reflect a writer , then the writer -lrb- s -rrb- basically portray that they be all about sex , party , hook up , sappy sentimentality , and random political struggle within corporation . nice . the shine star of this season , stand head , shoulder , chest , abdomen , groin and thigh above the surround effort in ` Girl in the fireplace ' write by Steven Moffat -lrb- creator\/writer of the brilliant coupling sitcom -rrb- . while this be a story of twisted survival it be also about emotional love and devotion ; a unusual Doctor who aspect unexplored until now , especially swamp in lust the rest of the season . the doctor become a enigmatic and valiant ` prince ' that unexpectedly -lrb- but extremely well write -rrb- create devotion in a unusual ` princess ' . but then the logic of the story go to hell in the denouement as it become another silly ` doctor rant at lethal enemy that stand there and take it on the chin while stand still as a statue ' moment common in this season . that be vindicate by the final twist reveal the motive of the story . the `` New Adventures of Doctor who : EastEnders lose in space '' be a grab bag . if you be a kid who need a new shiny with some lust and casual love throw in - it be perfect . if you be a intelligent viewer who want great story , perhaps something to reaffirm life 's glory and myriad wonder ... walk on by , or sob like a little girl over the money waste on ephemeral garbage . personally i find this season , and almost all new who story , rather intellectually insulting and simplistic . if only the crew ask - why ? - from the start . they would have find they do it for the money and fame , and just write show about money and fame . and we would have at least have story that honestly express they soul , rather then a combo of fan pandering image and situation string together with screech , simplistic dialogue . +446 Movies_TV POS 5 one of my favorite Disney film . love the music & Tinkerbell be one of my favorite character . no extra on the disc though .

I could remember after I come home that night wait for Peter Pan to come and take I away to Neverland . it be another must have movie if you into nostalgia . +469 Movies_TV POS 4 I be very excite when the original Cinderella movie come out on dvd and I immediately order my copy . this be my all-time favorite Disney movie . along with this dvd set come a preview for Cinderella III which be to be release in the future . I hesitate for a very long time before buy Cinderella III because I fear that it would not live up to the original movie and that it would end up really tarnish the magical movie that I grow up loving so much through my childhood . I think it would be best just to have the original movie as it be with no sequel . well , today I decide to buy the movie and I just finish watch it . I must say that I be pleasantly surprise . grant , this movie be not on the same level as the original , but it do have a certain magic and beauty of it be own . for this reason , I do recommend that Cinderella fan add this movie to they collection . the basic plotline of the movie be straightforward . Lady Tremaine , the wicked stepmother , get hold of the fairy godmother 's wand and use it to reverse the event lead up to Cinderella marry the prince . this leave Cinderella and she animal friend to fix this terrible situation . the movie be fill with suspense and action . as a 32 year old man , I find myself jump up out of my seat at time while watch this movie . it be like be take back to my childhood again . any Cinderela fan will thoroughly enjoy this movie . it have a very unexpected end that will surprise everyone . but I can assure you that everything turn out fine in the end . everyone , and I do mean `` everyone '' will get exactly what they deserve . although you probably will not want to get this one out to watch as much as the original movie , it really be a fitting sequel and you should have it in you collection . it do not destroy the magic of the original movie at all . +643 Movies_TV POS 5 I love most all the Disney movie because they be so great when I be a little girl go to the movie to see they . my 3 year old granddaughter have watch this movie 10 to 15 time since I receive it . the dvd be great and well receive +274 Movies_TV POS 5 oftentimes straight to dvd sequel be less than stellar accomplishment . but Cinderella III be a delight ! my 3-year-old daughter -lrb- almost four , as she like to point out ! -rrb- love this movie , and even she older brother enjoy it ! as a parent I also enjoy the movie - the song be great , and it really be a interesting story . it be a dvd worthy of the Cinderella legacy . +890 Movies_TV POS 4 `` Peter Pan '' be classic Disney animation at its finest ; heartfelt , humorous , lush and colorful . and it be never look better , in this digitally remaster release . as a adult collector , however , I find the extra on this `` platinum '' edition lack in interest . First of all , they be pretty much the same as those on the original dvd release of some year ago ; and they be hardly comprehensive in they detail the history of the film . give how extensive the Disney vault be , it be hard to believe there be nothing new to be find . and as I do not have kid , the game and sing-along be waste on I . I have most of the platinum edition and will continue to buy they for the film I love ; I just wish they be a little more gear to adult animation wank like I ! +941 Movies_TV POS 5 when word come down that Christopher Eccleston be be replace as Doctor who to say the least I be hard to convince . they say that the doctor that you start with forever become `` you '' doctor and I will second that motion . that be say David Tennant do grow on you take it from someone who find out first hand . you have to judge each individual season on its own merit . so as to the episode themselves new Earth be a good way to open up this show the doctor in a most traditional role solve problem that other have never consider the solution to . I consider it the best episode of the entire second season . that be say the second episode tooth and claw be good because we get to meet Queen Victoria and see how exactly the Torchwood Institute be found . for that same reason School Reunion be also good because it actually reintroduce a companion of the Doctor 's from the old day Sarah Jane Smith . a meeting of the mind between the old and the new its pretty awesome . the Girl in the Fireplace be also a good episode it tell with a historical aspect -lrb- the Madam -rrb- but also the consequence of the nature of travel and what it do to those we leave behind . I could see where you would like rise of the Cybermen and the age of steel but the trek fan in I be remind to much of the Borg although the idea of alternate reality be very cool . if the second season have a weak link it be probably the idiot 's Lantern Television suck the life out of people be not my idea of a good storyline sorry . I never blame the excellent actor and the chemistry between they for make the best of a bad script . I know I already say New Earth be my favorite and it still be but the Satan pit and the impossible planet be also very cool . I mean a space station orbit a black hole what be not to like about that storyline ? I know people go nut about Love & Monsters and how funny it be but I never much care for the episode . `` fear she '' be a nice spooky little episode Doomsday and Army of ghost be a nice farewell to Rose Tyler . its always a shame to see a companion go but if you have to go this be a nice way to go out . Overall-Good season with a few misfire but nice solid entertainment +682 Movies_TV POS 5 I guess I be extremely spoil by season 1 -lrb- see my review there -rrb- , wait all those year to find that once the show have return , it be back with a spine tingling , take you breath away with excitement , jump out of you seat in disbelief of such glorious script and performance , absolute freak vengeance . now , onto series 2 , I be in no doubt look and expect nearly the same , albeit with a different actor at the helm . this be nothing different for who fan , and with some slim exception , it all work out well . I know some of you say we can not compare this and series one , or this and that , but hey , it be what who fan have be do throughout time . I firmly believe that as a entire season , last season series 1 of the new show rank up there as possibly the best full run of episode in who be full run . have to follow that would be a true test indeed , and while I think season 2 be very enjoyable , it be not quite as strong as 1 . there be evidence even in the promising first episode , the Christmas Invasion , that there be some little je ne sais quoi that I could not quite put a finger on , that make be ever so slightly down a notch from the high impact of season 1 's show . there be further evidence when it come to season 2 's first real episode , New Earth , as it muddle along without a whole lot of excitement to take in . thankfully , after the very good reunion of the doctor , Sarah Jane , & K9 , the show seem to keep creep up and up in excitement quality , until the brilliant season finale two parter . in fact , this two part mind blow season finish , be probably the first time I have feel as ecstatic as I do watch the entire first series episode . I be displeased that the second season never feel as unique as series 1 , but nonetheless still have fun watch yet another strong run of episode in who be continue history . after think about it more and more , I come to the realization that it be less David Tennant vs. Eccleston that make the two series different , and more about the strong writing of series 1 compare to the medoicre script of season 2 . season 1 just have more snappy dialogue for the doctor , more impactful event tightly weave into the 50 minute episode , and overall better story . that be not to say this season do not have it be share of goody , include one of my favorite , idiot 's Lantern , deal with supernatural event in the 1950 's , and lead into the very spooky two parter , the impossible planet , and the Satan pit . it be just I could not help but think when I watch season 1 , that this be hand down the best show on tv , the best sci-fus episode on tv , and the best who in a long time . with season 2 , I can not safely say that I enjoy it better than say a season of the dead Zone , Stargate , or Stargate Atlantis , but I can say it be a very enjoyable piece of sci fi and another superb addition to the who Universe . I just wish the script be tighter and flow better . on to David Tennant . it take I a few episode , for I to take a liking to he , but quickly find that he be just as quirky a doc as any predecessor and deserve he worthy place among the rest . he can bring he serious side out just as quickly and believable as he distinct , flamboyant one . I think have he a second season will be a welcome event , after have Eccleston for one short one . hopefully , they will get the write a little more up to snuff , and the excitement level , so I can once again , safely say there be nothing better on tv than who . for right now , I can not , but it be still a excellent season of who , a smooth transition into a new doctor , and leave at a point where this new , yet old , franchise can continue to grow . here 's look toward season 3 ... +509 Movies_TV POS 5 one of the best I have ever see . the plot be pretty easy to follow . the situation be real life . best of all , the electronic eavesdropping be convincingly real . +347 Movies_TV POS 5 this be one of my favorite movie ever . a long movie by usual standard , but very compelling and very entertaining . the extend version run about 140 minute , 8 minute longer than the blu-ray version . +669 Movies_TV POS 4 most of the time , Disney 's direct to video sequel be just awful , but this be actually a nice sequel and better than the first Cinderella sequel . it feel a bit more realistic , with the wicked stepfamily steal Fairy Godmother 's wand and use it to they own advantage . Anastasia be give the chance to be a real Princess when Stepmother use the wand to make she look like Cinderella so she can fool Prince Charming . gee , I do not know that Godmother 's wand could actually manipulate time ! if Godmother 's wand have that much power , then she could have use it to ensure that she goddaughter do not lose either she real mother or she father , so I be bother with the Godmother 's role . however , the story be decent and Anastasia turn out to be a decent character . she already show this in the second Cinderella movie , so I be not surprise to see that in this film . though Anastasia enjoy be beautiful and have the affection of the Prince , she conscience nag at she , especially after spend time with she prospective father-in-law . Drizella and Stepmother remain as evil as ever , but it be nice to see that at least one stepsister do have a heart . if you be a die-hard Cinderella fan , you might enjoy this film , otherwise , just rent . +504 Movies_TV POS 4 I be very happy with the speed the dvd be ship and arrival time . but , the dvd skip and freeze up in place . +906 Movies_TV POS 5 a must have for any Dr. who or sci-fi fan ! and they be about half the price of what they be charge at the big chain store . still kinda expensive but well worth it . +305 Movies_TV NEG 2 when I buy the Peter Pan special edition I have forget the racist portrayal of the Indians in the movie . they do live in Neverland but will kid make the distinction that if they live in Neverland it be make believe ? will they understand that not all Indians say Ugg and how like the one in this movie ? I do not remember the `` what make the Red Man Red '' number from when I be kid but that be before video . now kid can watch it over and over again . also , my copy do not have the `` making of '' short even though it say it do on the case . this be very disappointing because I be hope it would address the racism issue . +262 Movies_TV POS 5 have see this film a dozen or so time . Terrific suspenseful movie . the blu-ray offer some nice behind the scene as well as some delete and cut scene as well . the look of the film on blu ray be magnificent . Gene Hackman and Will Smith play off of each other extremely well . movie be certainly ahead of its time . +812 Movies_TV POS 4 Will Smith and Gene Hackman do some great act in this movie . it be not overly do with a whole bunch of special effect but it will hold you interest and keep you at the edge of you seat . do not watch this movie expect it to be the best yet , and you 'll enjoy it . +652 Movies_TV POS 5 Peter Pan be all my grandson want for Christmas . I could not find it in any of the store , and be very grateful when I find it on Amazon ! he will be one happy little three year old on Christmas Day . +741 Movies_TV POS 5 PETER PAN remain one of Disney 's most fondly-remembered film . despite appear in the same decade as Mary Martin 's Broadway and television version , it be neither lessen nor ignore in comparison . Peter Pan -lrb- voice by Disney 's resident juvenile lead Bobby Driscoll -rrb- take young wendy -lrb- Kathryn Beaumont -rrb- along with Michael and John on a flight of fancy to Neverland , where you can never grow old . in they fantastic adventure , Peter and the lose boy battle the nefarious Captain Hook -lrb- Hans Conried -rrb- , the bumble Crocodile and the bloodthirsty Indians . the story deal with the abandon dream of childhood , a child 's wish to remain young and the resentment of have to grow up . James Barrie 's story speak to the child in all of we . this beautiful new dvd reissue coincide with Disney 's new sequel , RETURN to NEVERLAND , and include a fantastic audio commentary , still gallery , dvd storybook and featurette . +122 Movies_TV POS 4 this be a good suspense movie overburdened with flash and funk . check out Gene Hackman 's performance . he be reprise he role in the conversation as a electronic surveillance expert , and they even show clip from the conversation as reference to he past . +751 Movies_TV NEG 2 the filmmaker be unwise to make Hackman 's character so similar to he earlier role in `` the conversation '' , as that film be superior to this one in every way . this one 's a poor excuse for a thriller . the script 's half as clever as it want to be , and Will Smith 's one-liner do not help any . the surveillance technology throughout be more or less magic , do impossible thing with lot of gee-whiz sound effect . +275 Movies_TV POS 5 this movie be great ! especially after the horror of Cinderella II , which be so bad that it be traumatic ! this be the true sequel to the classic Cinderella story . the story be interesting and move . you really get wrap up in Cinderella 's plight as the Stepmother 's level of evil go through the roof . Prince charming finally get a personality , and he be such a wonderful character ! the animation and voice be so well do that I believe this could have make it in the theater ! even the song be very enjoyable , though Disney sequel song often leave a great deal to be desire . skip Cinderella II and go right to this movie ! +846 Movies_TV POS 5 i be a big fan of william smith , this movie absolutely a must for not only for will smith lover but also for a conspiracy seeker . Blu ray version be serve with full hd quality screen and also high def dolby sound . +477 Movies_TV POS 4 my three and four-year-old niece love this movie . it be never really be one of my favorite -lrb- mainly because Peter Pan annoy I to no end - like other reviewer I would like to see Captain Hook get a good one in -rrb- but that be just my opinion . -lrb- I do not like the original book for the same reason . -rrb- I like it more when I be a kid . I give it four star for that reason . this bring I to my question : as a kid , I have both a 33 1\/3 record with song from Disney movie and a tall book base on the movie . on the record , there be a song , `` do you believe in Fairies ? -lrb- then Clap you hand -rrb- '' which be play when Tinkerbell almost die . in the book , Peter get wendy and all the child to clap they hand to bring Tinkerbell back to life . I know I be not dream this up - I still have both the record and the book . both my sister -lrb- who be ten year older than i -rrb- and myself seem to remember that this be originally in the movie . can anyone shed some light on this for we ? +321 Movies_TV NEU 3 it be SAD that DISNEY have become the MULTIZILLION DOLLAR INSTITUTION that it have . if it be still under the WATCHFUL CARING EYES of WALT DISNEY HIMSELF , I do not THINK the dvd version of THIS movie I just purchase WOULD be the same . the movie of COURSE be as great as it always was - a wonder of ARTISTRY & FANTASY SEAMLESSLY blend together . the color be as beautiful as ever . the SOUND be O.K. , BUT I would THINK that DISNEY COULD DO SOMETHING in the way of restoration as far as the HISS that be very noticeable - especially in the louder passage . i ALSO AM no DUMMY when it come to GENERAL dvd knowledge , but I be totally confused look at the back of the dvd case as to WHETHER THIS MOVIE WAS A WIDESCREEN VERSION or FULL SCREEN . it clearly state in miniscule letter under the run time that PETER PAN be PRESENTED in ITS ORIGINAL THEATRICAL ASPECT RATIO , APPROX . 1.33:1 . I -lrb- and probably anyone else besides ROGER EBERT -rrb- WOULD GUESS that this mean it appear as it be originally show in THEATRES - WIDESCREEN ! I be more than tick to find LATER that it be in fact a pan and scan version , and after pay not a SMALL SUM of MONEY , I feel a little rooked . my suggestion be to keep watch that WORN OUT VHS COPY UNTIL DISNEY decide to invest a little more in one of their crown achievement . oh and do not WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT that LIMITED ISSUE NONSENSE MEANING that THEY ONLY MANUFACTURE EACH MOVIE TITLE ON A LIMITED NUMBER RUN ONLY once per generation -lrb- with DISNEY , GENERATIONS be BORN QUITE OFTEN -rrb- . right now , THEY OBVIOUSLY be have a gigantic case of TIGHTWADITIS and YET be still pricing THEIR TITLES WELL above OTHER studio . sad , sad , sad ! i ONLY HOPE WE all can see this movie in ITS FULL WIDESCREEN GLORY and SOUND SOON ! PETER PAN in ITSELF be still magical ! +841 Movies_TV POS 5 I love this WORKOUT !!! I start do it at 259 pound and while tough , I have a lot of fun , now it be easier but still load of fun and a great way to get energise for the day ! +880 Movies_TV POS 5 `` enemy of the state '' have become a classic movie by now . a non-stop action movie and now with the spectacular clarity of blu ray , you just can not go wrong . I have watch this movie a thousand time and I never get bore of it . now in blu ray , the quality of this movie be astonishing . I would recommend it to anyone who love thrilled-action movie . +158 Movies_TV NEG 2 enemy of the state be boring , and have a uninresting story and dialoge . some good acting by Regina King . but the plot be over to long and there be no fun just watch the film , and plus the thrill be worthless , it be like go to a store and on to home . Thats what this movie show . and I have to admit it there be some good thing I like , like when Will Smith run off try to get to he home to tell he wife that someone be after he , that be a good scene . but overall the movie be not worth see , but that be my opinion . c - \*\* +218 Movies_TV POS 5 what can I say ? it be Peter Pan and my kid love it as much as we do when we be kid . must have . +811 Movies_TV POS 5 it be a classic and a timeless tale of adventure I have enjoy share with my little one . +964 Movies_TV POS 5 5 Stars for the Collection . I have see all the 2nd season story already , and they be all quite good . you can read the other reviewer for the `` bit snippet '' of each story . quite frankly , David Tennant step into the role quite brilliantly and make it he own , while capture some of the trademark of all the earlier who actor . everyone tout the Daleks and Cybermen so much that they forget that many classic who story be `` different '' or `` non-monster drive '' . the current release of `` INFERNO '' be a prime example . while one or two story be `` weaker '' in monstermanium than other , let 's remember that not every episode of every television show ever make be wonderful either -lrb- season 4 of the Mary Tyler Moore Show even have a weak episode ! -rrb- . it be also unfair to compare this season to the previous `` Series one '' . happily , Series 2 build on Series 1 's new myth and pathos . I think that Christopher Eccleston bring back Doctor who to its original brilliance with a incredible roar , and I have to admit that I be very skeptical at first that anyone could take he place -lrb- probably not unlike the kid in 1966 when Patrick Troughton replace William Hartnell -rrb- . Billie Piper be also so much fun as Rose and I enjoy Noel Clarke be in more story as Mickey , but really , my heart go out to Camille Couri as Rose 's mum Jackie . happily , she be feature , even in a limited way , in more story this season . now , if only Amazon.com be offer the limited Cyberman Head Box Set , I would be happy . currently they be only available in the UK , and I be not go to pay for this set twice . +499 Movies_TV POS 4 Jason Lee -lrb- a Guy Thing -rrb- take shot of Jon Voight -lrb- Midnight Cowboy -rrb- kill Jason Robards -lrb- Magnolia -rrb- and Lee before he get run over by a bus make Will Smith -lrb- Bad Boys 1 and 2 -rrb- and then Voight and he crew ggo after he and he family . Smith get help from Gene Hackman -lrb- Scarcrow -rrb- . other actor in the mix ... Jack Black -lrb- Shallow Hal -rrb- , Jamie Kennedy -lrb- Scream trilogy -rrb- , Lisa Bonet -lrb- High Fidelity -rrb- , Scott Caan -lrb- Black and White -rrb- , Ian Hart -lrb- Harry Potter and the Chamber of secret -rrb- , Tom Sizemore -lrb- Dreamcatcher -rrb- , Loren Dean -lrb- Rosewood -rrb- , Jake Busey -lrb- Identity -rrb- , Barry Pepper -lrb- Battlefield Earth -rrb- , Gabriel Bryne -lrb- Stigmata -rrb- , Stuart Wilson -lrb- no escape -rrb- and a unbilled cameo by Seth Green -lrb- Party monster -rrb- . dont miss the ride . +51 Movies_TV POS 5 arrive quickly . great dvd a must for old and new doctor who fan . +464 Movies_TV POS 5 I be surprise that my wife buy this dvd for we kid , because Disney direct-to-dvd sequel be usually poorly animated , poorly write flop . I be surprise again when I happen to come into my kid ' room while they be watch it , and I find myself get pull into the film and watch the rest of it with they . I vaguely remember see part of Cinderella II , enough to recall that it be rather poor . it seem that some reviewer here will hate the film no matter what , because they be Disney purist and feel that no sequel could ever possibly do justice to the original . and then it seem that other reviewer want to love the film so much that they will rate it highly even if they movie be a stinker . I have neither of these mindset . I do not have any deep devotion to original Disney feature , and I do not really care about the sequel . what I can say be that this movie have very good animation . I have to keep remind myself that this be a direct-to-dvd production , because it look so good . as for picky detail like what Cinderella 's foot look like , I guess I have get too much of a life to keep replay the movie over and over to focus on thing like that . as allude to above , the story be good enough to pull I in when I have other thing to do . in fact , I agree with some other reviewer that Cindrella and the prince be both more engaging character in this movie than in the original . the only character in the original that be really entertaining be the stepmother\/stepsisters , the king and duke , and the animal . the star couple be rather boring to watch , but not so in this sequel . I give this 5 star not because it be worthy of any award , but rather because among other direct-to-dvd release -lrb- especially sequel -rrb- , it really stand out . +494 Movies_TV POS 5 this have be the best movie will Smith have ever do . this movie have a lot of action and suspense . Will Smith get 2 thumb up from I !!!! +877 Movies_TV POS 5 this movie actually give I the creep , that this might actually happen or have already happen . the scene on how evil the National Security Agency can be and how they track down will Smith 's character . they appear to be they own crime family as they end up kill each other in the end . i see this movie when it first come out in theater and it completely blow my mind . the thought that the government or the NSA , could not only be the NSA but its officer have the chance to take on not only they own idenity but the face of anything they want - in fact when the two NSA officer first come to Smith 's house , they introduce themselves as the dc police and even produce badge . even the way they try to scare the Senator and end up kill he when he tell the Deputy NSA Communications Director , Jon Voight , that he be not go to vote he way . and the dc Mafia make a scary add to the movie , as the NSA use Smith 's character as a lawyer for serious goof up mobster -lrb- as in the first scene when the mobster and Smith be talk -rrb- and Hackman 's character be give Smith the tape of Sizemore and he friend at a party , and Smith threatn to use it against he . the FBI be in the movie for laugh though as say `` Geez , he do not look italian '' as Smith make he way out of the Sizemore 's restaurant and the old man give the agent ' the finger and they take a picture of the shocked Smith . this have to be one of the best spy movie of all time ! and when you finish see it you 'll be check you smoke detector and carefully watch the reception on you tv for any bug . +650 Movies_TV POS 5 the product arrive very fast , and be in the condition that it be advertise . the movie be be not as good as the first , but it be way better than the second ! +336 Movies_TV POS 5 we get this dvd as promise in new condition . it be a gift for my 3 year old 's birthday . thanks ! we love we Disney Princesses and this sequel to Cinderella be a great story and better than the 2nd one . +112 Movies_TV POS 5 Walt Disney 's masterpiece `` Peter Pan '' fly onto for the first time , a two disc platinum edition with a treasure chest full of special feature . a must have Disney masterpiece , see you favorite character again again , Peter Pan , Wendy , John , Michael Darling , Tinkerbell , Mr. Smee & of course the notorious Captain Hook . +496 Movies_TV NEU 3 enemy of the state be my first film , wich I buy here . +186 Movies_TV POS 4 i read the review before i buy this movie , and i buy it because most people seem to like it . my daughter and i just watch it , and i have to say that i be impressed . i actually like it better than the original ! i like Cinderella 's more active role . that be my biggest complaint about the original -- i never do care for the whole wishy-washy , boo-hoo attitude she have ! i would recommend this movie to anyone who like disney princess movie . +804 Movies_TV NEG 1 I be a adult who usually enjoy Disney movie , but this be the worst one I have ever see . the author and\/or adaptor into cartoon , portray all female character except wendy as jealous and malicious . Tinkerbell be jealous of wendy and try to get other to hurt she . the mermaid be jealous of wendy and mistreat she . then even Wendy become jealous of the indian princess . the boy have all the fun , and Peter seem to relish the girl snipe at eachother over he attention . very shallow and disappointing cartoon . +575 Movies_TV POS 4 Ok , if you have be read these review , you can see that people either think the movie kick a \*\* or suck a \*\* . well , it be posible to go wither way . the movie have a incredible story line , that be relitivly original . but , if you hate action flick , this movie be not recommend . the story have great acting , and many star , include Will Smith and Gene Hackman , among other . if you dont like Will Smith and be sick of see he in this type of movie , this movie be again , not for you . this movie can stir many different emotion from you : you could be on the edge of you seat , jump at explosion , and believe that you be in the movie , or you could be asleep , as that one guy and he girlfriend be . for I , this be one of the best action movie I have ever see ! -lrb- but that be partly because Seth Green be in it -rrb- . I encourage people to buy this movie if you belong to the first category of the above mention group , or if you like Seth . it be well worth you time !!! +64 Movies_TV NEU 3 this item be a little disappointing since he have some `` glitch '' while watch it . it be a gift to my grandson in Ca. , so I take my son 's word for this . +17 Movies_TV NEU 3 I would forget that major plot point in Peter Pan revolve around mysoginistic pre-adolecent female attack on each other and racist stereotype of aboriginal people , so when my three year old pointed to the ` cheifum ' and ask what he be , I be at a loss . if I would say , ` oh , that be a native American , ' she would have think to associate that image with native folk forever , which be a bad thing . I end up tell she he be a ` stereotype ' , and she ask no more . she now refer to he as ` that big guy ' . I can not wait to explain why the mermaid be try to kill wendy . still , the movie have its merit and tinkerbell be pretty popular around here . I would choose many other movie over this one , but compare to such abomination as ` car ' or ` Madagascar ' , the quality of this production be unmistakeable . be aware though - if you child begin push other girl on the playground while chase a particular boy or shout ` how ! ' and pretend to scalp each other , you 'll have this movie to blame for it !! +630 Movies_TV NEU 3 the video be too slow for a dance workout . I highly recommend the other two if you want a good workout and dance move . +40 Movies_TV POS 5 with a great mix of action , comedy , style , and of course - conspiracy , enemy of the state be the movie that have it all . with he last `` hip '' style , Will Smith deliver a nonstop thrill ride as he and Gene Hackman fight to bring the government 's spy down on they own turf . if you like Will Smith or Gene Hackman , you 'll love this movie . be thrill and be cautious - they be watch you !! +311 Movies_TV POS 5 you can fly you can fly , you can fly !!!! where the imagination can take you into far away land you 'll never forget TinkerBell ! do not we all love she ! I be trouble by the depiction of native american though . what make the red man red ? I think this be the only set back to the film there be some prejudice there that I be not happy with . do not we all wanna stay as child ? we all miss we childhood . this film be by far one of the best film to relive you childhood . +378 Movies_TV POS 5 I be thrill to see the show come back to life after not see the show for many year . I feel like a kid again ! plus the add feature in this second season with the video diary be great ! +780 Movies_TV POS 5 in the interest of full disclosure , I should say that I take no conspiracy theory film or novel as truth . however , I learn many year ago that , if one be to enjoy that genre , one must accept whatever conspiracy the creator want we to believe in . whether Martians , former KGB agent , escape Nazi 's , president of the United States or Church leader , it be all the same to I , so long as they make it dramatically credible . dramatic sense be not empirical sense . this suspension of reality which mark my approach , enable I to find considerable pleasure in this decade old film . with a inventory of terrific technological tool , the bad guy be able to keep tab on the good guy as well as perform all sort of evil deed . Will Smith do a good job as the central good guy as do Jon Voight as the central bad guy . when Will Smith be team , by circumstance , with Gene Hackman , they become a dynamic duo , as do almost any team of which that veteran actor be a part . . support player , for the most part , perform ably and the action scene be exciting . if you like this type of film , you will like this one . +266 Movies_TV POS 5 I be introduce to DW not too long ago and I fall in love with it . I start with the original series very first 3 arc and have jump around the series ever since . the new series be just as enjoyable , if not more so , than the original , and now that i be up to season 4 , i have to say this have be my favorite so far . David Tennant and Billi Pipper play off each other so well , that what make this season so great . they have great chemistry together on screen . add to that some great story line from this series -lrb- the Christmas Invasion , School Reunion , rise of the Cyberman , Age of Steel , the impossible planet , Satan pit , Army of Ghosts , Doomsday -rrb- really add to just how great this series 2 really be . I highly recommend this to anyone who be a fan of the series or who be try to get into it , its great ! +269 Movies_TV POS 4 its great to see Hackman reprise he operative character from `` the conversation '' . the point of this film as to how far along we be towards `` 1984 '' and `` Big Brother '' be perhaps indicate by we lack of alarm about it . its interesting what the situational awareness the Feds can gain by have a emittor on the Will Smith character , its instructive conceptually as to how you could steer yourself and other unit to intercept or stay close without get too close . but this technology be show to collapse when the sensor be not `` cheating '' by the emittor and have to use line-of-sight collection mean to stay in contact with they prey in a cluttered urban environment . if you watch the film conceptually as a demonstration of military and possibly totalitarean technology its worth 4 star . if you watch it for entertainment and plausibility it lack realism since if the corrupt Feds want the Will Smith character 's tape they would have barge in , kill he and make it look like something else . of course there would be no film and chase then . we should reject violently these `` reality '' tv show where such totalitarean surveillance means be take in jest like its a mere popularity contest : if you become a `` enemy of the state '' you get vote to be `` banish '' might not be a laughing matter . +447 Movies_TV POS 5 if you think the return of the doctor be over with the regeneration of the Doctor , you have not see David Tennant -lrb- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire -rrb- as the tenth incarnation of the Timelord . just as load with emotion depth and darkness as Chris E 's Doc , but with a more traditional streak of classic quirky doctor trait . the doctor be suffer from post-regeneration stress on the x-ma special opener `` the CHRISTMAS INVASION . '' although the doctor be out-of-it for a major part of the special , Billie Piper and crew carry on superbly until the climax . the greatness of the season opener be no exception , nearly all of the season two episode be perfect ! the weakest episode be the New Earth -lrb- # 2 -rrb- which be the first to competely feature the new doctor . the cat-nurse hospital be true to the spirit of the series , but the best part be body swaping moment in which Rose become the posh Cassandra from season one , and so do the doctor -lrb- insanely funny , both performance -rrb- . the rest of the season feature some of the best work ever do in the show 30 + history , bar none ! other reason to buy this set : the doctor finally meet a werewolf the return of parallel universe the return of Peter Tyler The return of the Cyberman the return of K9 the return of Sarah Jane The return of mysterious reference thread -lrb- torchwood -rrb- the return of another long time villain -lrb- s -rrb- in a long overdue monster mash smackdown of epic proportion ! the School Reunion , which feature the Doctor 's reunion with fan-fav compainion Sarah Jane Smith & K9 , be a touching and tightly compose story that nicely set the tone forshadow thing to come , namely the amazing season finale . the writing be terrific in each episode , the reinvention of the Cybermen , set up more story that the fan themselve would have write . the Cybermen return for the finale along with some legendary uninvited party guest . just like last season , you 'll be ask yourself `` why have not someone do these story already , WOW ! '' bring on the 3 season ! Love & Monsters 4 ever ! +343 Movies_TV POS 5 see as how the story of Peter Pan be nearly a century old and assume that most people know the story , I be go to focus this review on the bonus feature that can be find on this amazing two-disc edition . first , I just wanna say Peter Pan be one of my all-time favorite Disney movie , and that this two-disc set be well worth the wait . the bonus disc contain a lot of special feature that will enhance you viewing experience and appreciation of Peter Pan , such as game , activity , and backstage feature . the game and activity include the `` Camp Neverland '' game and `` Peter Pan 's Virtual Flight '' . the latter take you on a journey through the sky with Peter through London , and be kinda fun . there be also mucis video and a dvd storybook . my favorite special feature on the disc would have to be the `` make of '' featurette , where Walt Disney himself explain to the viewer how the movie come into production . we then see how this great film be animated , orchestrate , and complete . it be just really cool to have Walt in you living room again . other backstage feature include a never-before-seen opening to the movie , delete song and scene , and the `` in Walt 's words-a New Discovery '' featurette . overall , this be a great collection . you get a great movie , fully restore and look better than ever , and great special feature . any fan of Disney animated film will surely love Peter Pan , despite some of the film 's racist depiction of native Americans , and everybody will surely enjoy the amazing inside look into production . +525 Movies_TV POS 4 the problem with BBC be that they tend to price everything into the realm of ridiculous . any fan of Rome - The complete First season it be still annoying . and while doctor who - the complete First Series First off , we have some solid episode to establish David Tenant . the Xmas Invasion be one of those `` Doctor who can not deal with he regeneration '' story that start with castravolva and the writer keep write . I suppose we can not ask for Tom Baker to jump up and start fight big robot and push Brigidier around , but I do miss the day when the doctor could just be the doctor . still , there be a joy when David Tennant finally wake up out of he coma and take on the alien . it be similar to the joy experience this season when the doctor shed he scared John Smith persona and the alien narrator explain that the whole flee thing be a way for the doctor to be kind . the first few episode do establish the doctor and David Tennant . he be both less dark and more earnest in this season . there be a strain of sorrow go through most of these storyline as you be almost weep for the evil `` last human '' in the hospital storyline and `` the Girl in the Fireplace '' be gear towards break you heart . the sad thing be that I know I 'll hate Tristan and Isolde -lrb- Widescreen Edition -rrb- however , tedium set in just after the Cybermen make they appearance as the alternate universe cyberman -lrb- so what happen to the original version ? are they all go ? never explain . -rrb- with a endless series of `` Rose be probably gonna die '' bit , and lackluster story -lrb- the demon planet one bore I . the `` fear she '' one be bad , probably not as bad as most people say but still pretty bad -rrb- the series roll into a really cool two-parter that do not make up for the second half be so dull up until then . if you can buy this for less than the $ 100 ask price -lrb- $ 50 should be the max you pay for a 12-part dvd set . you can get 22 episode of how I Met you mother - season 1 and that show be much more consistent -rrb- buy it . else wait . the third season be a definite improvement . and while you be at it , pick up a copy of Teddy Bear Cannibal Massacre +818 Movies_TV POS 4 the second series of the new Dr. who be a even better production than the first series . the scope , quality , and uniquenesss of the story have all improve . just one small problem , Chris Eccleston in the first series be a far more interesting doctor than this current one . the producer and writer have make the series accesible to non-fan , and have give serious who fanatic plenty of reference to enjoy . everyone win . the episode `` love and monster '' be a perfect example of how this be a great entertainment for those who have never watch Dr. who . +827 Movies_TV POS 5 my almost-3-year-old love this movie . he pretend that he be Peter Pan and I be wendy . we watch it just before go to Disneyland , and we be so glad ... much of the park refer to the movie . it be a great show that have be all but forget by the current generation . +817 Movies_TV POS 5 receive in excellent condition and before estimate delivery time - which I be extremely thankful for ! be extremely excite to have my very own copy , finally ! thanks ! +375 Movies_TV NEG 2 I do not like the net , nor do I like enemy of the state . both have you typical hard-workin ' , tax-payin ' , common-sense citizen hunt mercilessly by wealthy white folk with far , far too many resource at they disposal . plot hole be vast and plentiful here , such as `` if these guy be so good , why do not anyone check out the conspicuous camera box right across the launch dock ? '' and `` if these guy can do that much to one man already , do they really need a bill ? '' plus , you also get , `` with digital photography and editing , who need two people in the same place at the same time anyway ? '' what make this movie rise above the usual b-movie muck be ... well , not much . sheer budget size and star power manage to muscle this movie from the lowly one-star rating it deserve to the two-star rating that it do not . +853 Movies_TV NEG 1 I be a huge fan of the original book Peter Pan , and there be definite aspect of racism toward native american Indians in the book , but they be not nearly as overt or offensive as they be in the Disney edition . I have totally forget -lrb- since I see it when I be young -rrb- about the terribly racist treatment of the native Americans in this film . if you be commit to the fight for racial justice , do not buy this film . +327 Movies_TV POS 5 Will Smith be great in this role -lrb- when be not he -rrb- . please watch and listen carefully for a message that be go deaf in we ear but be part of troubling trend in we country . just judge for yourselve . +535 Movies_TV POS 4 my 3 year old love this movie . some fun new original song . plot and cinemetography be typical of straight to dvd title but still good like you expect from Disney . +603 Movies_TV POS 5 okay , so I be a fifteen-year-old boy . this movie have always be my favorite of all the Disney movie . I would -lrb- and still do -rrb- watch it over and over when I be little , and it be keep get better and better . Disney have better get this one back on the shelf soon , because I miss it the last time it come out ! when this movie come out again -lrb- which I feel sure should happen in at least 10 year -rrb- you can bet I will be one of the first people in line ! I do not care if I be in college , I 'll still get it . maybe even watch it in my dorm with the door open ! I do not care if people see I , Peter Pan be one of Disney 's classic . almost everyone love the classic , instead of the crap they put out now . this be one movie that you must have , whether you want to have a Disney collection , or because you like the classic . like I say , this be one of Disney 's best and I will not miss out on the chance of get it when it come out . and you should not either !! +988 Movies_TV POS 5 this movie rock !!! BRUCKHEIMER have always outdo HIMSELF & he prove it here ! will & GENE make the perfect good GUYS & JON-VOIGHT be the usual `` OMELETTE of a bad guy '' . anyway this pic rox !!!! +287 Movies_TV POS 5 my kid can not get enough of this story-they act it out and view the dvd nonstop since new year holiday . it be a wonderful product +649 Movies_TV POS 5 i be wait for this product to come in . i be sure that it will be a good purchase thank you +599 Movies_TV POS 5 I never get tire of watch Peter Pan , probably because the concept of fly child introduce I to never-ending possibility as a child . i highly recommend this movie to child , parent , people of all age . the first time I see this movie I be a child and the last time I see it be about a month ago at the age of 19 . +265 Movies_TV POS 4 unlike Chris E. David Tennent be not one to go pound moral down you skull -lrb- though I do like Escleston 's energy and dynamics -rrb- David Tennent 's `` Tenth '' , himself be not in foulable in he mishap . Tennent 's 10th who , -lrb- who -rrb- I also think do quite well in `` Cassanova '' be a silly eccentric with more on be a crazy imperfect himself and eccept that than be obligate to appologize afterwards as do Chris E. . Billy Piper odviously do not speek `` Pig Common '' though as she fake accent sometimes faulter in situation that Pig Common can not artiqulate as in the bazaar sci-fus word and reaction to alien . usually she come off fine in normal situation that call for the Pig Common charm . Might I suggest try to emulate Peter Woodthorpe who be the `` scum of theive '' in he speech . also he be Gollumn in the Baski Lord of the ring . the boyfreind be a backwheel and depict k-9 as such insulting both character as be as such when they could be more pivotal and take more seriously by the audience if thing be just leave to roll on . Doc # 9 hate everyone in Rose 's life except Rose herself and this alienate the audience -lrb- at least I -rrb- from he . Tennent do this but to a lesser degree . -lrb- and it be a good thing to a degree -rrb- the irreprotiable 9 and 10 be both much like Tom Baker and Chris E. be more on William Hartnel with the exception that Tom Baker do not leave people to die becasue of questionable `` character '' as do Escleston -lrb- even will Hartnel 's 1st be merciful to we moron . -rrb- . Tennent have move away from the mondane and moralistic modernizaton of Earth and it be reala t show feel and be more like the doctor -lrb- s -rrb- of old . though the feel be still the way escleston 's story and atmopshere be which I do not really like . it be still entertaining and fun with tenent and though I like Escleston 's early one -lrb- usually writen by Russel Davies himself -rrb- he later one be more like Stargate and the cheapness of sci-fus channel stuff and it be P.C. feel . Briton have a weird way of conveigh idea to the audiance and I prefer the tone down morality check of tenent and even Tom Baker and Jon Pertwee who be more into the entertainment area than the informative area . k-9 be not a second bannana to the companion ! Sarah Jane be not a `` Ender '' or a dead wash-out as `` she make I smile in the end '' as the song -lrb- from she heyday -rrb- go . +252 Movies_TV POS 5 this be one of the best movie I have see in the last week . it be base on something that can be true any moment and the fast action keep you glue to the tv . Higly recomend ! +570 Movies_TV POS 5 a terriffic film . the story be good . New star in early role blend with the long standing actor . very fun . +139 Movies_TV POS 4 when I be a little tyke of 3 , my mother take I to a drive-in theater in Los Angeles to see Disney 's Peter Pan . although I have a three-year old 's attention span , mom say I be fascinate by the music and visual . I debate buy one of Disney 's newer movie like Atlantis , or the Emperor 's New Groove , but when I see the special edition of Peter Pan , my decision be make easier . my 4-year old boy immediately try prying the shrink-wrap off of the dvd after it arrive at we home . he have see all of the trailer for return to Neverland , so he recognize Peter Pan right away ! my son be captivate by this wonderful classic . what be not to like about it ? great song -lrb- `` you can fly '' , and the mildly annoying `` follow the Leader '' -rrb- , character to whom he could relate -lrb- John and Michael , plus the lose boy -rrb- , magic , fairy , mermaid , and pirate -- what else could a boy ask for ? my son actually sit still for the entire movie . this be a all time first ! part of this movie would never have make it out of the editing room in today 's hyper-sensitive and politically correct environment . the segment with the Indians portray they with a classic stereotype that come across as mildly offensive and uncomfortable today . after all , I do not think native Americans use word like `` ugh '' and `` how . '' plus , the reference to they as `` red man '' would make many people cringe today . a earlier reviewer mention that he daughter do not like Peter Pan . that do not surprise I . woman be paint with broad stereotype in this movie , from jealousy and fickleness , to be helpless . this be a movie that will definitely appeal to boy , but may leave the little girl longing for mulan or the little mermaid . parent may want to consider this . in spite of these shortcoming , this dvd have launch itself to the top of we play list at home , along with Iron Giant and Titan AE . +554 Movies_TV POS 5 with a great mix of action , comedy , style , and of course - conspiracy , enemy of the state be the movie that have it all . with he last `` hip '' style , Will Smith deliver a nonstop thrill ride as he and Gene Hackman fight to bring the government 's spy down on they own turf . if you like Will Smith or Gene Hackman , you 'll love this movie . be thrill and be cautious - they be watch you !! +395 Movies_TV POS 5 I love the scene where Peter Pan and Captain Hook be fight with sword , it be so cool , and when he rescue Tiger Lily and Wendy , kind of a 1800 's Superhero . +695 Movies_TV POS 5 great movie . a classic Disney movie that be finally available in platinum edition . +580 Movies_TV POS 4 easily overlook but be a very engaging movie . Will Smith be very good in this movie ! +301 Movies_TV NEG 1 this movie be HORRIBLE . it be another example of Hollywood 's distortion of fact . there be absoulutly no way the NSA or anyone else could do the thing that this movie profess that they can . no computer in the world , no matter how powerful , can `` rotate '' a fix image . not to mention the fact that there be no way that there be camera everywhere ! by the way , satellite be retask in a matter of hour , not seconds . there be not a single facet of this movie which I consider to be valid . I have to stop watch it because I be so disgusted . please ! do not encourage the production of more movie like this one by buy it ! +474 Movies_TV NEG 1 the racism make this movie inappropriate . I regret buy it for my three-year-old and will not be show it a second time . +21 Movies_TV POS 5 this be a great product . it get the blood pump . some of the step be difficult at first , but you get use to they . I be not in the best shape , so I only do about half of the workout . if you have bad knee , I would advise against this workout . otherwise , this be great . +602 Movies_TV POS 5 this movie touch basis on what tool the government have , and what it -lrb- can -rrb- do during the process . the movie be about a legislative man kill another legislative man over a disagreement over a bill . a man then have a piece of evidence of the murder . the crooked cop take every measure , then , to seize the tape , so the man would not be prosecute . it be a excellent movie !!!! get it ! +563 Movies_TV POS 5 Walt Disney 's 1953 animated version of `` Peter Pan '' hold a jeweled place amid version of Sir James M. Barrie 's story , read , view , and in young Walt Disney 's case , act in during its first 50 year . Disney give Tinker Bell , formerly a glow and offstage ring , the human face , emotion and shape to become a model for `` today 's woman , '' and Disney 's tv co-hostess for 30 year . -lrb- Disney prove Barrie 's wisdom in say , `` Temper be a weapon we hold by the blade . '' female jealousy thread throughout the film 's pirate and indian adventure . -rrb- Disney give off-stage tick the dart eye and hilarious snap of the crocodile , whose tooth Pan 's nemesis Captain Hook fear more than he opponent 's sword . through artistry from Disney 's `` Nine Old Men , '' Barrie 's stage direction become animated , other-worldly wonder . they draw the magic of fly over London and away from family care to every young boy 's heroic dream and adventure . best of all , Barrie 's story of a boy who would not grow up , charm mermaid , indian princess , fairy and child , and confound Hook , become Disney 's mission statement of sort . its entertainment would , like Barrie and he pan , aim to make child feel brave and grown-up feel young . this two-disc `` platinum edition '' dvd be welcome even amidst Disney 's constant stream of sequel and re-release . its restore picture be vibrant and 5.1 theater-style sound deeper and richer ; you hear the exhilarating wind-rush of the film 's signature song , Oliver Wallace 's `` you can fly . '' -lrb- also listen close for cameo by legendary voice actor June Foray and Thurl Ravenscroft . -rrb- `` Peter Pan 's '' generous bonus feature include two music video and a black-and-white promotional film make for the theatrical release , feature Disney 's artist and sound engineer in action . it also examine alternate song and opening -lrb- with storyboard -rrb- , and a touch re-recreation of Walt Disney 's personal rationale for make the film . dvd audio commentary feature Roy Disney , Kathryn Beaumont -lrb- voice of wendy -rrb- , legendary animator Ollie Johnston and `` Tink 's '' live model , Margaret Kerry . the dvd also demonstrate Tinker Bell 's different portrayal up to she own upcoming dvd . Barrie once say , `` I be not young enough to know everything . '' he yearning to consistently capture childhood 's sense of discovery influence the world for more than 100 year , from Mary Martin on early , vintage tv to Michael Jackson and he infamous `` Neverland Ranch '' to Johnny Depp in Barrie 's film biography . Walt Disney 's film profit greatly from that yearning but , to be fair , he and he best artist also intrinsically understand it . `` Peter Pan '' be essential to any Disney or animated library , and this set be its fullest mean yet to own it . +729 Movies_TV POS 5 not only be the movie fantastic ; so be the seller . I rate both with 5 star and recommend this seller to everyone . excellent , fast service . thanks ... will be buy more from you . +258 Movies_TV POS 5 my girl age 8 and 4 love the new version of the movie . +172 Movies_TV POS 5 the second Seasons be great , the music , the story , and well the Girl in the Fireplace be a masterpiece !!! I hope the 10th doctor never regenerate !!! +503 Movies_TV POS 5 fast-paced , non-stop action with Wil Smith and Gene Hackman . well , not really a lot of Gene Hackman , but he do well in he side part . a really cool movie about a man be chase for something he do not know he have . and that be just the beginning ... +516 Movies_TV NEG 1 I do not know how one can rate a dvd not release until March ?????? I have the lime issue of Peter Pan it be a awesome collectable copy . now all we have be remake of all we best Disney dvd . to make more money for disney . and they 30.0000 factory all over the world . +758 Movies_TV POS 4 enemy of the state be a prescient look at the critical balance between national security and personal freedom . release in 1998 , the plot could be take from today 's headline . in response to terrorist action and threat , legislation be introduce allow government extremely wide latitude in surveillance and curtail personal privacy . key member of the government itself , however , be sociopath -- totally amoral in the pursuit of they own ambition . sound familiar ? it be a tale we have hear all too often . Director Tony Scott play to the audience 's distrust of authority rather than they fear of terrorism -- perhaps if the movie be make today it would have a different slant . but government have seemingly get no purer , and official be keen to grab exactly those rights that this movie be concern with . as for the rest , Will Smith and Gene Hackman turn in terrific performance . the action be continuously thrilling , although excessive in the number and length of chase scene . although occasionally we have to suspend we disbelief , the climax of the movie provide a payoff so clever that we be happy to do so . the music , by former Yes guitarist Tevor Rabin and a collaborator , suit the action well but do not particularly stand out significantly . but it seem to I that all this be fairly moot ; what really count be the issue raise . they have become even timelier and more difficult . +574 Movies_TV POS 5 as a huge Doctor who fan , I could not wait to get my hand on this dvd set . I be not disappoint . aside from the great storyline and dramatic conclusion to this second season of the most recent installment of Doctor who , this dvd set have great extra with ton of behind-the-scenes look at the making of the show , as well as delete scene and blooper -lrb- always fun to watch -rrb- . I would recommend this to any fan of the show - it be absolutely brilliant . +230 Movies_TV POS 4 I think that this be another great season . Great act , great storyline , pure win . also interesting that the doctor become romantically attach to Rose , but the way they break it off be also good . I be wonder if other universe mean there be other doctor ? anyways , the reason I give this 4 star instead of 5 be because of how much time the doctor spend on Earth . in the older series ' it seem like they be always go to other planet and exotic setting , and even though they special effect be primitive back then it still make for a interesting story . I think that I would like to see more exotic setting in the new Dr. who series and less time spend on earth , and that be wht I give it 4 star instead of 5 . +913 Movies_TV POS 5 I be always look for way to make work out fun and this workout definitely do that . it be about 50 minute long but you be have so much fun , you do not even notice it . it just feel like you be dance in you living room with you girlfriend . I be not very familiar with bollywood but I have no trouble follow the move . a couple of they be a bit tricky at first but Hemalayaa be always reassure that you do not have to do exactly what they be do , and I like that feeling of freedom . if , after do the workout a few time , you do not feel like follow they move , it would be perfectly comfortable to just dance along with the music . I recommend this dvd to those who like different kind of workout , especially dance workout . this will provide great variety and definitely keep you from get bore . I have only one warning : you might want to make sure you can be alone to do this workout so you can really get into it and enjoy it without feel self-conscious . but that all depend on you ! I also recommend Elsa Leandro 's World Dance Workout , which also have a Bollywood segment , along with other dance form . +843 Movies_TV POS 5 who fan note : you must watch `` the Children in Need '' special feature on disk one before play any of the new episode . it be the real beginning , however short -lrb- 7 min -rrb- , of `` the Christmas Invasion , '' the first episode of season two . David Tennant discover he new fleshly abode in a bit more detail than be provide in Episode one . how wonderful that this doctor who watch the earlier series as a child , and in fact decide to become a actor partially base on he desire to play the doctor . a great lesson in talent and persistence pay off . the extent of the who oeuvre be supernatural . Russell T. Davies rescue the TARDIS and allow he star to fully flesh out the doctor ; they talent and quirk enrich the who tradition . Christopher Eccleston as the first new who be great , no doubt about it . David Tennant be superb , even more nuanced , intense , and wacky . he be Doctor who , with all the layer of previous incarnation bust out all over . sadly , the fifth season be be muddle by Moffat , do a turn as the infamous John Nathan-Turner . JNT also pick a young replacement and go on to ruin Doctor who . as to the decade of previous doctor , beware , not all be create equal ! you can not go wrong with the heroic and glam Pertwee , he doctor who : spearhead from space -lrb- Story 51 -rrb- Hartnell be great in the first story of doctor who : the beginning -lrb- a unearthy child \/ the Daleks \/ the Edge of Destruction -rrb- better to skip they and go to doctor who : the Time Meddler -lrb- the William Hartnell year 1963-66 -rrb- Tom Baker 's hippy who be a treat , mindful of a more creative period -lrb- before jnt -rrb- . there be a mysterious brain-drain in the 1980s , during the Thatcher and Reagan era , that result in horrible doctor . Davison , Colin Baker , and Sylvester McCoy be costume up in garb that prove producer jnt have no creativity or respect for fan . thankfully , the current generation reflect the real Doctor who in character and look , with the rag-tag thrift-store appeal of the original 1960s & 1970s doctor . this new generation of Doctor who restore the intelligent alien with the eccentric grace of Hartnell , Troughton , Pertwee , and Tom Baker . David Tennant be amazing as Doctor who , and give he all throughout he tenure , with he own mischief and sinuous mind . Tennant 's incarnation flare with the elegant and quirky mannerism of the brilliant who , `` I know what kind of hand this be , it be a fightin ' hand ... '' as Hartnell declare as he leap upon a opponent with glee , `` I be so use to outwit the opposition that I forget the gentle art of fisticuffs '' -lrb- the Romans : Story 12 -rrb- . the one reservation be that Rose be too much the wait pet , hope for the pat on the head , and she alternative life at the end be needlessly sad . the role of Jackie be pitch-perfect . Billie Piper act with amazing conviction . the character of zoe -lrb- troughton year -rrb- and Sarah Jane Smith be great female lead , brilliant and assertive . why could not Rose have just go on to a good life with she parent and boyfriend , grateful for the Doctor who experience , instead of mascara smear tear-stained grief ? give the girl a break . Elisabeth Sladen , wonderful in she second Series cameo along with k-9 , thankfully return in the -lrb- good , for kid -rrb- the Sarah Jane Adventures : the complete first season enjoy you virtual tardi . +519 Movies_TV POS 5 the movie arrive in great condition and perfect packaging . I be buy all the vaulted movie for Christmas . my kid will be surprise . +13 Movies_TV POS 5 my daughter be almost 4yrs old and regularly pop this dvd in before she reach for the original Cinderella . now I be not here to take anything away from the original nor do movie review where I attack the storyline etc. . the movie be just what it say , a twist . this be a very vividly animated , too funny and touching spin off . so glad I add it to she collection because its on heavy rotation ! +750 Movies_TV NEG 2 I order both the Walt Disney Peter Pan video and the Mary Martin Peter Pan video for my son at the same time and the difference between the two be shocking . Walt Disney have exaggerate to the point of stereotype many aspect of the story . for example , Tinkerbell , who represent a spirit in the story of Peter Pan , in the Walt Disney version be such a flirt and jealous , as well as overly concern with how big she hip be that the whole meaning of she be lose . the indian in the Walt Disney version be stereotyped as well and I be shock that as my son now say Indians do not have face . the Walt Disney version contain much unnecessary violence . all and all the Mary MArtin Peter Pan be so much more heart-warming and magical and fun . +319 Movies_TV POS 5 Peter Pan be one hour and sixteen minute and be release in theater on February 5 , 1953 . Peter Pan tell the story of a young boy who refuse to grow up , but at time act like a adult . the story begin at the home of George and Mary Darling whose three child -lrb- wendy , John , and Michael -rrb- . after send the child to bed , George and Mary Darling leave they home to attend a formal party . Peter Pan arrive at the child 's nursery to find he shadow . when he do , Wendy offer to sew it on for he . Peter Pan offer to take the child to never land and teach they how to fly as well with faith , hope and some pixie dust from Tinker Bell . by the way to get to never land take the second star to the right and straight on till morning . as soon as they reach never land they be fire at by Captain Hook . Captain Hook want revenge at Peter for cut off he left hand and feed it to the crocodile . Peter Pan save the child . later in the day Peter Pan rescue Tiger Lily from Captain Hook who want she to reveal the location of Peter Pan . Captain Hook eventually do find Peter Pan 's hideout and plant a bomb to destroy he . Tinker Bell come to the rescue and save Peter Pan . Peter Pan fly over to Captain Hook ship and the two of they have they final fight . in the end Peter Pan take the child back home . I know I leave a lot of the story out but I want to add some other information to my review . first this be the first Peter Pan that a male actor play the lead ; in previous play and movie Peter Pan be play by a female . it be Margaret Kerry and not Marilyn Monroe who be the model for Tinker Bell . in keep with the stage version tradition , Hans Conried voice both George Darling and Captain Hook . Peter Pan be the last movie the Disney 's famed `` Nine Old Men '' work on together . also this be the last movie to be distribute by RKO Radio Pictures . in this film version Tinker Bell actually have a body ; in the stage version she be represent by a beam of light . finally this be Disney 's 14th animated feature .

I could live at mermaid lagoon . +919 Movies_TV POS 5 Cinderella III be full of suspense , and can keep you on the edge of you seat ! there be one or two scene that may be quite `` dark '' for young viewer , but my 2-year-old son just love the movie . if you be a fan of Cinderella , you will also be a fan of Cinderella III . +58 Movies_TV POS 5 again , after just one season , a new doctor . I love Christopher Eccleston so I be a bit sceptic but David Tennant be a awesome doctor . just as the first season , great story , great acting and also the special effect be very good . when Doctor who come back in 2005 , I like it , since then I love it , it be very addictive . also english sub be handy . +748 Movies_TV POS 4 I be very pleasantly surprise when I see this movie . most Disney sequel be unwatchably awful , and Cinderella II be not very good . however , Cinderella III : A twist in Time be , for a direct-to-video release , quite excellent . the animation be very good , the music be passable , and the plot be interesting , but what really stand out be the re-characterization of Cinderella and the prince . the prince be very flat in the original film , but here he be get a recognizable personality , he be nice , and he be not stupid ; the evil stepmother have to use magic in order to get he to go along with she scheme . Cinderella get awesome . in the original film she be nothing more than singing sugar and fluff , but here she have very realistic reaction to heartbreaking situation , and she get very strong in addition to still be nice and kind . one of Cinderella 's scene near the end of the movie even feel a little bit like a animated fantasy action flick . the end , though a little unexpected , be also very satisfactory . the only real complaint I have be that the beginning of the movie be over-the-top silly , and Anastasia 's romance from Cinderella II be not mention except for a single image in the credit , but overall , if you like Disney movie , Cinderella III be definitely one to get . +341 Movies_TV NEU 3 try to like this one without get too annoyed at the gov ' t agency with the giant tv screen in the main office , the nerd , the simplify version of computer -lrb- do that button clack get on you nerve too ? -rrb- . punch a couple of say button and a satellite can locate and watch a person run through the street of a major city ? although that camera in the lingerie shop be a nice touch . . now that would be more plausible . work for the big bad NSA in my service day , and believe I , they could never be that efficient . . it be a gov ' t beaucracy for cry out loud . on the plus side , you can not go wrong with Will Smith , Gene Hackman and Jon Voight . do have fun count how many scene have steam in they , not to mention the hazy indoor shot . I guess Tony Scott take the word atmosphere literally . love that fire dept too . from alarm to transport of victim within 60 seconds usually . just ask for a LITTLE common sense once in a while ... jeeze ... +440 Movies_TV POS 4 I be another viewer who have be a long-time fan of the original show . when I first hear about the new series a few year ago , I be unsure . in fact , I be sure that I be go to hate it . after all , I would hate the tv movie and I know that nothing new could ever live up to the best of the original series . -lrb- Though of course , rot pond scum would be a improvement on the WORST of the original series . -rrb- then I catch the first episode of the new series -- and shocked myself by love it . Enough to immediately buy the region2 dvd , which be the only one available at the time . -lrb- which be then replace by region1 as soon as they become available . it do not feel quite like `` Dr. who '' , but it be entertaining nonetheless , with good acting and good production value . now , onto series 2 . I have not see all of it yet . -lrb- Disc 2 of my set be defective , so until the nice folk at Amazon send I my replacment set , I have to miss out on Sarah Jane 's return . -rrb- and ... I like it ... the worst story -lrb- `` New Earth '' -rrb- be a bit better than rot pond scum , and the best come very close to the best of the original . but yes , it be a new series . yes , it be wonderful that it have the budget to do thing with a thousand time more flash than the original . but flash can not replace heart , and there be a definite lack of heart . and the sexual tension between Rose and the doctor -lrb- which be much stronger in the second series than the first , if only because Tennant be so much younger and classically hearts-throb gorgeous than he predecessor -rrb- be a poor replacement for the more fatherly love and concern that we see in the original . yes , any one of the doctor would have sacrifice he life for any one of he companion . sexual love be not require for that sort of emotional attachment . Tennent also seem to never quite convince that he be a alien -- a non-human character with exeptional intelligence , but with real characer flaw . he seem to teeter between utterly human and utterly god . on the positive side , the 2nd series get point for make at least a effort to remember its root . too often the doctor , and indeed the series -lrb- think console room -rrb- seem to completely forget that it have a existance before Rose appear . but here we see real Daleks and Cybermen . the doctor mention , however briefly , previous planet and previous adventure . and my daughter and I have a blast tick off all the similirity between the alternate universe Cyberman story here -lrb- forget the title -rrb- , and Troughton 's `` Invasion . '' now , if they could just remember that they be suppose to be tell compelling story rather than demonstrate they ability to generate fantastic cg character , they 'll really have something worth watch . +683 Movies_TV POS 4 even though I be a teenager , I still love this movie ! everything it be superb ! one of the thing that amaze I each time I watch it be the animation . the color be absolutely gorgeous , and the view from above England and never never land be truly stunning . `` Peter Pan '' also have a great musical score . one of the best song be `` you can fly , '' sing while the child be fly over London . the one problem I have with this movie be that there be almost no solo . after awhile , you may get tired of hear the chorus . otherwise , this a fabulous movie . I recommend it to everyone ! +12 Movies_TV POS 5 how can you go wrong with a story about eternal youth feature pirate , Indians and mermaid ? clumsy hand can ruin even a magnificent story but in this case Disney produce one of cinema 's great masterpiece . Peter Pan be as close to perfection as any film I have ever watch and not only rank number one in my list of Disney animation but be my favorite animated film by any studio even beat out the brilliant spirited away by Hayao Miyazaki . Disney 's Peter Pan have a extremely tight , well pace story without a waste frame or a scene that drag . the animation be bright , active and fluid . I would challenge fan of beauty and the beast and the little mermaid to go back and watch those film again and compare they to Peter Pan which look far better despite be almost 40 year they senior . when I be young I think of Neverland as a literal place while at the same time remove from we reality . in other word it be not simply in the imagination of wendy , John and Michael but be a actual location they fly to just not a place you could ever stumble across . the biggest complaint I have read about the movie be the use of broad stereotype of native Americans but in this case I always consider they more of a archetype of the childhood concept of a indian rather than a real native american tribe since they appear to live exclusively in Neverland . likewise , despite Captain Hook 's vow to sail away from Neverland it be hard to imagine he pirate crew exist anywhere else . I will not battle too hard over the usage of racial stereotype but I really do not think it be a sufficient reason to discount the movie . movie about child , write for child , tend to write child like small , overly clever adult . Peter Pan and the lose boy act like real child . they be impulsive , self centered and easily manipulate -lrb- ok , Peter be a bit more clever than the lose boy -rrb- . when Hook capture the lose boy and seduce they with life as a pirate they gleefully rush to join . even John and Michael trip over themselves to hop aboard . all loyalty to pan seem go . likewise Peter have no problem nuzzle with Tiger Lily right in front of wendy or laugh off when the mermaid attempt to drown she . when Tinker Bell convince the lose boy to try and kill wendy , Peter be not angry over the attempt murder he be angry that tink betray he . it be not that Peter have malice -lrb- although kill hook do not seem to bother he a whit -rrb- it be that Peter be about Peter and even he refusal to grow up can be see as a childish refusal to follow the rule of society and nature . what set Peter apart be that when he decide not to grow up he literally do not grow up . every character , even the peripheral one like big Chief and Tiger Lily , be wonderful . I could watch the interaction of Captain Hook and Smee all day long and although hook be generally play for laugh he be no fool and cleverly manipulate Tinker Bell to reveal Pan 's hideout . what I really love about the character be they unapologetic amorality . this be not a film about life lesson or personal growth . it be simply a fantasy adventure that make no attempt to moralize and I love it . Rottentomatos.com recently have a list of the 75 greatest animated movie and Peter Pan do not even make the cut and hold a very good but not excellent aggregate score of 83 % . I have no idea what movie 17 % of reviewer see but as I lifetime fan of animation Peter Pan be the one film I recommend everyone see . ignore the naysayer . +980 Movies_TV POS 5 after the astounding climax to the first season , I find it hard to believe that this strong debut would ever be top . the Christmas special blow those doubt apart , as well as set the tone -lrb- and some plotpoint -rrb- for the rest of the season . this episode be one of the most unusual in the show 's history , as the doctor be incommunicado for almost three-quarter of its run time . the payoff be huge , with the best debut of a doctor that I have ever see . there be so many great moment in those fifteen minute . see the doctor work out who he be . the swordfight . six word . Russell T. Davies really stamp he mark on the series with this episode . the succeed episode all , arguably , vary in quality depend on how high you standard be . the most annoying aspect be the inclusion of Torchwood - which on reflection be not as subtle as the ` bad Wolf ' meme from last season . for I , the standout be the perfect three episode run - tooth and claw -lrb- Russell T. Davies -rrb- , School Reunion -lrb- Toby Whithouse -rrb- and the absolutely superb and near-perfect Girl in the fireplace -lrb- from the brilliant Steven Moffat -rrb- . all , for I , perfect Doctor who episode and also great example of the different tone and theme that the series have explore throughout its long history . New series fan may be perturb that Rose get less to do this season . it be clear , in retrospect , that the focus be on create story for the new doctor . while Rose 's backstory run as a subplot in the background . in retrospect this be understandable , but be rather jarring on initial transmission . especially as Russell 's plan for this season be not entirely clear from the first few episode . the dvd extra be as great as ever . in addition to the Confidential Cut-Downs , there be also the dvd commentary . Dissapointingly , Steven Moffat do not get a turn this time round , although he do provide commentary in a podcast freely available on the BBC 's Dr who website . however Russell T. Davies do commentate on Tooth and Claw , and be wonderfully entertaining and informative . it be also incredibly please to see the new doctor - David Tennant - make a big contribution to the dvd as well . he contribute commentary to three episode -lrb- School Reunion , Idiots Lantern , Doomsday -rrb- . and also provide a whopping 85-minute video diary that cover the entire season . it be a suprisingly frank documentary , show David 's initial nervousness at both live up to the Legacy he so clearly idolise , and cope with the hectic schedule that seem to be the hallmark of this new series . big kudos to Tennant for provide such a generous look at what it take to be the very best in this fantastic series . in addition to be one of the best doctor 's ever , he be also a great Ambassador for the show . look back on it , the second series be much much better than the already strong first season . whether or not you enjoy it depend on whether or not you accept David Tennant as the doctor . and whether you can accept that this new series flatly refuse to conform to fan expectation of what a science fiction should be . this be Doctor who as big-budget Family Entertainment . in my case , the answer be a resounding yes . this second series have help in lay a strong foundation for what be undoubtedly the greatest run this much-loved series have ever have . if I could , I would give this 10 star out of 5 . more please ! +732 Movies_TV POS 5 Cinderella be one of my favorite ! and this sequel do the original justice . there be so much color and music and humor ! in fact , even though I think small child will enjoy this film , it be really make for those of we who be more young at heart . : -rrb- +864 Movies_TV POS 4 I think that this be a great movie . good acting and a great plot . the only problem that I have run into be that 1 hour 32 minute and 14 seconds into it the disk fail . I have 4 copy that be miss chapter 15 completely . they definately lapse in the quality control on this one . the picture and sound quality be great . if you have any problem keep on try new copy , this be a great addition to you collection . +569 Movies_TV POS 4 if you love the original Cinderella , you will not be disappoint . the story flow as if it be make not long after the first . all the character be the same and the voice be great . we enjoy this because we be Cinderella fan . my daughter -lrb- 4 -rrb- have to watch it over and over and over again . if you be look for a new movie with modern animation , however , you should try the Barbie movie . the animation be much more modern . we recommend the Princess and the pauper which have great singing . +873 Movies_TV POS 5 what a treat , to be as thrill with a movie as my two year old be . pan pan pan ! that be all we hear in we house now ! +769 Movies_TV POS 5 this release seem to have draw out more eloquence and expertise from Amazon reviewer than most . it be clearly warmly regard as a classic by the great majority . pc issue , or rather the non-pc issue have be debate with well-conceived and finely deliver statement by both side . as be usually the case in such matter , I do not imagine that the disputant have move a inch from they original position -- or ever will . as for myself , I hold sufficiently warm feeling for Disney 's `` Peter Pan '' to endorse the many five-star rating it have already earn . I clearly remember see `` Peter Pan '' during its first run , once at a grand and lordly downtown movie palace on San Francisco 's Market Street and again , a little later , in second-run at a neighborhood theater on Mission Street . I be ten year old at the time and recollect that the movie be a thing of considerable interest among my friend and schoolmate . the consensus of opinion among discerning ten year-old be positive but not ecstatic . much the same be true for the review that run in the old News , Call-Bulletin , Examiner and Chronicle newspaper . -lrb- why be I pour over movie review in four daily papers at the age of ten ? I have no idea , but there you be . -rrb- the big advertising hook for the film be that for the FIRST TIME EVER !! Peter Pan would be portray by a boy rather than a middle-aged woman . we ten-year old be , as I recall , singularly unmoved by that . most of we be particularly well disposed toward Hans Conried 's Captain Hook and to the Crocodile , of course . both be authoritatively pronounced to be real zorch . -lrb- a San Francisco nonce-word invent by a then-popular disk jockey . it quickly give way before the better know `` cool . '' -rrb- on the other hand , we moppet film critic also generally agree with we elder professional who hold that `` Peter Pan '' represent a artistic fall off from Disney 's earlier masterpiece , `` Pinocchio , '' `` Dumbo , '' and especially `` Bambi , '' all of which have be re-release within we time horizon . -lrb- I be pretty sure that the next re-release of `` Snow White '' be much later . -rrb- compare to those true classic of animation , we think `` Peter Pan '' look cheap , cheesy and flat -- although I be sure we do not use those particular term , rely instead on the ever-eloquent , `` it be ok , I guess . '' in 1955 come the first black and white tv version of the New York musical with Mary Martin . it return in a new live -lrb- on kinescope for the West Coast -rrb- version and again in 1960 , that time in color , I think . as I remember it , that version have much greater impact . Mary Martin be simply better at everything than Bobby Driscoll be at anything . the musical score be better , too -- brasher and edgier than the Disney tune , which even in 1953 be move well along the path to the familiar musical pap so beloved by Uncle Walt . that be then , this be now . Mary Martin 's three `` Peter Pans '' be mere historical artifact , while this `` Peter Pan , '' like its hero , shall remain forever fresh and young . +498 Movies_TV NEU 3 I watch this video with my child . it be the first time I have see Peter Pan since my own childhood and it be every bit as captivating as I would remember - with one exception . I wait expectantly for the moment that Peter Pan ask the audience to help he save Tinkerbell . it seem that the scene be cut short . without that critical footage , it just be not the same movie . +453 Movies_TV POS 5 I be worry about how much I would like the new doctor , who be essentially replace ` my doctor ' , but it could not have be a more natural transition . David Tennant be just as wonderful as the Tenth Doctor . he bring he own quirkiness to the character of the Doctor , while still keep some of the dark , emotional side bring in by Eccleston . Billie Piper be back , as well , as he companion . the chemistry between Tennant and Piper be equal to Eccelston , and possibly even better than the first season . season 2 bring back all the good thing about the first and add yet more to the Doctor who universe . it bring laughter and tear and a bittersweet conclusion that will have you reach for a tissue . if you have any doubt about continue on past season one , do not . Tennant deliver , as do the creative staff who have bring we yet another great season of we favorite doctor ! +768 Movies_TV POS 5 my grandchild love it and EVERY Grandparent should keep film like this to entertain the grandchild keep the little Angels quiet without a fuss since the actually like this product and will thank you for let they watch it . the never get tire of watch . +938 Movies_TV NEG 1 I be totally mislead on this purchase . I see no where that it be a VHS . I be under the impression it be a dvd . due to the fact I have no VHS anymore , it have never be use . unfortunately , it be a gift and until it be open , I do not know the problem . quite embarrassing at the time . also , I have throw away the packaging papers and can not return it . +753 Movies_TV POS 4 this be a nice addition to any little girl 's Princess video collection . not a academy award winner , but certainly not as bad as some of the Disney sequel . +310 Movies_TV POS 5 Will Smith do a excellent job in this movie . he be the best action actor I think there be right now . this be my favorite Will Smith movie out of they all . +508 Movies_TV POS 5 I love this movie . I have two child , I sit down , and I be so surprised how good this be . I watch the whole movie . my only problem be this should have be title 1 1\/2 . its like go backward . before Anastasia meet the baker and fall in love in number 2 . so thats weird . if you can get over that . and forget two its a great movie . my daughter say just to think of the twist in Time as number 2 ; and number 2 movie as 3 . she be smart enough at 8yr to figure it out and I do not have to tell she . but its a beautiful story , more of the prince which would be nice for boy and lot of action . I still give it a a + +323 Movies_TV POS 5 the BBC 's new production of its classic series , Doctor who , weather its first major casting change admirably . most actor remain in the lead role for at least three year , but for Christopher Eccleston , one year be enough , and he doctor -lrb- aka ` nine ' -rrb- die in the season one finale . in keep with who tradition , the Doctor , upon he death , regenerate into a completely new body . take the TARDIS control from Eccleston be another Russell t Davies alumnus , David Tennant -lrb- who headline Davies ' production of casanova -rrb- as the tenth incarnation of the doctor -lrb- aka ` ten ' -rrb- . Tennant have he work cut out for he , follow Eccleston 's marvelous turn as the Time Lord , but he make the transition so seamlessly that the character truly seem like the same man in a different body . aid this transition be largely the same writing and production staff , as well as the same co-star -lrb- Billie Piper as Rose Tyler -rrb- and support cast -lrb- Camille Coduri as Jackie Tyler and Noel Clarke as Mickey Smith -rrb- . it be to Tennant 's credit that he not only immediately put he own stamp on the character but maintain Eccleston 's level of chemistry with the support cast . ten be physically younger than nine , more brash , more impulsive , less torment by guilt , but still achingly lonely . he loneliness become a run theme throughout the season , touch on in nearly every episode . Eccleston play the doctor as he play Steve Baxter in Davies ' the second coming -lrb- a tormented otherworldly be -rrb- ; Tennant play the doctor as casanova -lrb- a young , lovelorn romantic hero -rrb- . the Doctor 's romantic attachment , in fact , become the vehicle by which Davies explore the central theme of loneliness . ten and Rose build upon and deepen the romance that nine and Rose begin in the first season . they love be palpable ; they be often literally willing to die for each other . in the UK , the series be family-oriented and rarely stray beyond the pg level , so this romance be never physically consummate ; the character do not even kiss . despite this -- in fact , because of it -- they feeling be all the more poignant . -lrb- and how often do we see a depiction of true and abide love on television that do not involve some kind of bump-and-grind ? -rrb- by the end of the season , the relationship have come full circle : the Doctor have teach Rose all he can ; it be time for she to leave he and put to use all the thing she be learn . they final separation be tragic but yet also hopeful : despite the sadness , the viewer know Rose will thrive in she new environment . Billie Piper 's send-off could not have be more positive or more lovingly write -lrb- and it leave open the possibility of she return to the series in the future for a guest spot -rrb- . nobody who leave who be ever truly go . the tremendous `` School Reunion '' bring back a old fan favorite , Sarah Jane Smith -lrb- Elisabeth Sladen -rrb- . again , romance be the means by which Davies explore the Doctor 's impact on he companion ' life . the story be beautifully write : suspenseful , funny , romantic , and poignant . Sladen slip back into the role effortlessly , and Anthony Stewart Head provide a wonderful villain in the sinister Mr. Finch . romance also infuse the imaginative `` Girl in the Fireplace , '' in which a army of clockwork repair droid from the fifty-first century stalk Madame de Pompadour -lrb- Sopia Myles -rrb- . the doctor be clearly smite with the young Reinette , but the episode 's conclusion showcase how the heartbreakingly short human lifespan will always thwart such attachment . but romance be not all the second season have to offer : old foe return -lrb- Daleks , Cybermen , Cassandra -rrb- as well as old friend -lrb- Harriet Jones , Sarah Jane , K-9 , Pete Tyler , the Face of Boe -rrb- . also , the setting finally get away from Earth for a few episode , and there be a couple of trip to Earth 's past . the recur character develop beautifully , especially Mickey Smith , who finally come into he own as a hero . particularly good be the two-part story `` the impossible planet '' \/ `` the Satan pit , '' which find the doctor and Rose in a bleak space station on a planet perpetually circle a black hole . but the real standout of the season might well be `` the Christmas Invasion , '' a hour-long special that air on Christmas day , 2005 . this episode allow the support character -- and by extension the viewer -- a opportunity to adjust to the new doctor , and it allow ten to establish he heroic bona fide . the guest cast be marvelous , particularly Penelope Wilton as the UK 's new prime minister , Harriet Jones . a argument between the PM and ten at the episode 's conclusion be brilliant , worthy of the West wing , show that Davies be not afraid to challenge he viewer ' perception of heroism and villainy . other highlight of the season be `` the rise of the Cybermen '' \/ `` the age of Steel , '' the chill `` Tooth and Claw , '' the off-beat `` love and monster , '' and of course , the brilliant finale , `` Army of Ghosts '' \/ `` Doomsday . '' of all the episode , only the disjointed `` fear she '' feel sub-par . the overall quality of the season be remarkable , give the amount of backstage shuffling that take place -lrb- e.g. , the timing of Piper 's departure be initially unclear ; a few episode undergo last-minute rewrite -rrb- . and yet another challenge loom ahead for Davies as he reinvent the show in the wake of `` Doomsday , '' which write out literally the entire support cast . only two season in , and a era have already end . much of the season 's success be owe to Tennant , who have quickly establish himself as one of the most popular doctor in the show 's long history . he own love for the series and the character shine through every moment he be on scene , and he effortlessly convey the Doctor 's past through he expression , body language , and vocal inflection . if Eccleston be `` Doctor Modern , '' Tennant be `` Doctor Classic-Modern , '' meld perfectly the older and more contemporary portrayal of the character . he chemistry with Piper be nothing short of magical , and he also play wonderfully off the supporting and guest actor . as with the first season , the second season be best view in pristine dvd rather than the hacked-up version show on tv . the boxed set include the usual extra ; viewer should make the Pudsey Cutaway \/ Children in Need special they first stop -- it be a essential prologue to `` the Christmas Invasion .

First of all , wendy and she brother be not supopose to be tell story ABOUT Peter Pan ... the kid be not suppose to have hear of he !! so when Peter fly in , it be very anti-climatic . wendy be just like , oh , Peter , you be here finally . Yawn !! I think wendy have a lovely voice but the character be just annoying !! all she do be babble on while she sew Peters shadow . there be zero connection between Peter and Wendy , and that be a big problem . Tinkerbelle be the best character in this , but , she do not even get she famous death scene where everyone clap to bring she to life !! hook use a bomb to hurt Peter instead of poisoning he `` medicine '' be really lame . worst of all , with the exception of `` you can fly ! ' all of the song be lame . do I even have to mention the idiotic `` Red Man '' song ?? eww . plus , the lose boy be not suppose to be moron with retard voice . very dissapointing . this bland version be ok for little kid , but , to get the REAL story of Peter Pan , watch the new movie !!! +263 Movies_TV POS 5 look great & the additional material be fun .

I highly reccommend buy this movie for you child . +324 Movies_TV POS 5 I think I prefer this latest doctor to the previous one and this series be better write and the story more engrossing . I think ` School Reunion ' beautifully act by David Tennent and Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith . I remember watch she the first time round and it be both touching and very sad to see how the after affect of travel with the doctor effect she . . the story ` the girl in the firplace ' be also well write and act . it also make I cry . doctor have to have at least 1 scary story and ` the tooth and the claw ' fill that criterion . by the end of the series though I be tire of Rose . she be loud and brash and frankly too immature for the Doctor 's interest to be crediable . the finale be well write but I be quite numb to Rose 's pain as she end most of the episode in tear and I be rather glad to see she go . +131 Movies_TV POS 5 the Doctor just keep get better with age . season two be every bit as engaging and creative as season one . to think that in 7th grade oh so many year ago I use to run home from school to see Jon Pertwee play the doctor in he first visit to US Television , and that I have love he and the series ever since . to see the character and the story finally get the production value they deserve , to compliment the always wonderful writing , be a joy to behold . the lady in the fireplace be , I think , one of the best doctor 's ever , and the return of Lady Cassandra ... well , what can you say ? great fun , great acting , nothing like it on american tv , or will there ever be ... +540 Movies_TV NEG 2 this be a gift for my granddaughter .

' - and on that premise , this movie do well . factual discrepency aside , this be a good screenplay . it be grip and engage ; we be present with a real-life situation that follow it be cinimagraphic tangent to fruition . the actor give fantastic performance - especially the lead . it be shoot in a manner that add to the paranoid atmosphere of the film ; presumably it be what Tony Scott and Jerry Bruckhimer have in mind . all those thing sum to make a good movie . be a eec geek from Gen-X , i particularly like the interaction between the younger character in the film . Will Smith , as i say , have he first gig not play himself , and he come off well . anyway , i enjoy this film enough to buy it -lrb- my disc do not have any defect , although my friend 's first one do -rrb- and i think you will , too . +360 Movies_TV NEG 2 I miss the day of Disney classic with good storytelling and good theme . unfortunately , Disney have not tell a good animated story since Tarzan . Pixar do it well , but Disney insist on recycle they old classic in the way of straight to dvd movie . Cinderella III be just another sophomoric recycling of a Disney classic . the plot be unbelievable and silly -lrb- how could the Fairy Godmother be so careless ? -rrb- , the character sound like every other animated character , the song be generic Broadway and all sound the same , and why do the stepsister have such beautiful singing voice ? in the original Cinderella , they could not carry a tune to save they life . do they tone-deafness all of a sudden disappear ? if you have child , this may amuse they , although this no where near capture the spirit of the original . the quality of this be no greater than a Saturday morning cartoon . +146 Movies_TV POS 5 I think the first series of Doctor who be amazing , but the second series just take my breath away . it be like a mixture of the x-file and slider . I be on the edge of my seat with each exciting adventure , wonder how Rose and the doctor be go to escape the alien or the robot or the zombie . Rose and she mother -lrb- although sometimes get on my nerve -rrb- be much more likeable this season . and I can not say enough good thing about the doctor . he be so charismatic and funny , yet serious and dramatic when he need to be . I can hardly wait for the third series . +624 Movies_TV NEG 1 we buy it and watch it with we daughter last weekend and I find it to be AWFUL ... I grow up with the Mary Martin lp and be in a performance of it when I be in about 3rd grade , so admittedly I know it better in the musical version and would not tolerate any deviation well , but YE god . cartoonish , offensive caricature of Indians , pirate , busy dad , woman and girl , a portrayal of Tinkerbell as homicidally jealous of wendy , and not even the redeeming `` clap if you believe in fairy '' line - that be completely leave out . I do not remember this version from my childhood and end up sorry that it be my daughter 's introduction to the story . +273 Movies_TV NEU 3 I would enjoy this a lot more if Hemalayaa be not constantly make ` sexy eye ' at the camera . it be a shame , the dance move be fun and you can get a reasonable workout from this video . but while you be work out , the instructor will be stare at you like you be a white chocolate and raspberry muffin , which be a bit off-putting . +596 Movies_TV POS 5 this movie -lrb- enemy of the state -rrb- do not only include a year worth of action-packed adventure , it aso include comedy , romance and mystery . I never take my eye off the screen ! if you look for excitment and thrill , look what in store for you . Will Smith and Gene Hackman make a gret conbination ! as you can hopfully tell , I love it ! +505 Movies_TV POS 4 although make in 1998 , a few year before 9\/11 , the movie be very timely with the event happen now in we world . and strangely , the birthdate of Jon Voight , Thomas Reynolds , the main `` bad guy '' in the movie be Sept. 11 . +71 Movies_TV NEG 1 I order the movie Cinderella 3 use . the condition say very good but the movie skip in the middle and then skip the last 20 minute of the movie and would not let we finish . I try call customer service to find out about return the item and be put on hold for over 7 minute . I be very disappoint in this product . +805 Movies_TV POS 5 I have always be a Doctor who fan , ever since I be 5 visit with my grandparent in England . we wont go into detail of how long ago that be . the act and set be wonderful . I can not wait to see another season of Doctor who . +857 Movies_TV NEU 3 after sit down and watch this movie for the 20th time this week , I must still agree with my special little guy that this be a great movie . he love it and that be important since it be a kid movie . forget about the cinematic effect or the lack of . the real important question be : do the kid like it ? my kid love it ! and I be sure that you kid will too ... why the 3 star , well the movie use some time `` filler '' scene with a native american theme . I find this scene to be abit unrelated and stereotype native americans\/canadians . too many politically incorrect reference that be out of touch with today 's society . I have to explain to my little guy that the movie be wrong and that these reference be not acceptable in this day and society . other then that it be a great film . +39 Movies_TV POS 5 this be a very fun dance workout dvd !! it get you move and laugh at yourself too . its in a nice format that you can follow and learn the step . I look forward to pop it in and have a fun time vs. dread a boring workout . thank you hemalayaa , this be wonderful ! +808 Movies_TV POS 5 the special Edition Peter Pan include the `` making of '' film as well as the original introduction by Walt Disney himself . bring the older classic to the digital arena be a great concept that allow you to view the picture and sound as they be intend . I give this disc the highest rating of five star for feature , picture and sound . better hurry , these Disney dvd 's be only around for a short time , usually sixty day . +77 Movies_TV POS 4 the tale of Cinderella , with she kind beauty and rags-to-riches storybook end , will stand the test of time as one of the most beloved child 's story . while Disney 's attempt at `` Cinderella II '' be a nightmare , the new story put forth in `` Cinderella III : A twist in Time '' be much more imaginative and satisfy for all . quick Synopsis : Cinderella have be marry to she Prince Charming for almost a year , and have never be happier . unfortunately , she evil step-mother and horrible step-sister be not so lucky . after Anastasia accidentally get ahold of the Fairy Godmother 's magic wand , Cinderella 's step-mother use it to turn back time and change the outcome of the tale ! instead of Cinderella 's foot fitting the glass slipper , it be Anastasia who squeeze on the slipper and steal the Prince ! luckily , Cinderella have she trusty animal friend to help she set thing right ... but she wicked step-mother be not go to make it easy ... this direct to dvd movie do a good job at create a imaginative new story with such beloved character . it even have beautiful new song , and plenty of twist and turn in the plot . just when you think everything be as it should be , and the story be about to get it be happy end , Disney throw another wrench in the mix and keep on go . while it be probably a good thing it go straight to dvd -lrb- it be not quite good enough for theater -rrb- , I think disney-lover will still find it a enjoyable film for the whole family . there be a few fun special feature available on the disc as well , include a interactive game wherein the viewer go on a miniature scavenger hunt around the castle and try to fix magical blunder create by that cranky cat , Lucifer , and those mischievious mouse . there be also a cd-rom for you home computer ! these be mostly special feature to entertain the child , but as Disney be always remind we , you do not have to be a child to be young at heart . bottom line , it be a fun new story , and it be worth the addition to any Disney library . +5 Movies_TV NEU 3 Disney be definitely let down the dvd communtiy compare to other company . aside from some artwork , this dvd have nothing else on it except the movie itself . good heaven for the price Disney charge , there should be a paint cell from the movie come with the dvd . the story itself be a classic . the animation have not hold up all that well , though I think some of that have to be due to the introduction of computer animation . none of the song be really noteworthy . +475 Movies_TV NEG 2 if you eye be not open already , the portrayal in this Disney movie be highly stereotypical and misguided . in this film some Indians be show as act like stupid , cartoonish , warlike primitive . there be a song in the film that be offensive call `` what make The Red Man Red ? '' . here be it be lyric : `` once the Injun do not know \/ all the thing that he know now \/ but the Injun he sure learn a lot \/ and it be all from ask `` how '' what make the red man red \/ let 's go back a million year \/ to the very first indian Prince he kiss a maid and start to blush \/ and we have all be blushin ' since . '' the author of Peter Pan , Mr Barrie , have also be criticize for he treatment of female character . most of the female character : wendy , Tinker Bell , Tiger Lily , and the mermaid try to gain immature Peter Pan 's affection ; and Tinker Bell make several attempt on wendy 's life out of jealousy , yet Peter show no empathy and ignore all of they affection with indifference . would you like child to watch and learn from this on how to understand Indians ? would boy watch this be help to learn how to grow up to be mature man , and have happy relation with mature woman ? would girl learn from watch this that its okay to try and have a boyfriend like a emotionally unavailable Peter Pan ? +45 Movies_TV POS 4 I remember loving Peter Pan as a child . as a adult I purchase the dvd for my child . the scene with `` follow the Leader , '' and the scene in the nursery be classic Disney . I also have a new respect for how creative the animation be for the time when it be create . I would recommend this Disney film , but as a adult , I notice thing that deter from movie . I still enjoy the movie , but I cringe at the depiction of the female of this film be nothing more than frivolous beauty with nothing to do other than fight over a non-pubescent boy . -lrb- there evidently be not a female writer on staff ! -rrb- I also have trouble with the indian portrayal . I can not decide whether Disney be poke fun at the way Caucasians perceive native Americans , or if the writer be typical of they time period . +629 Movies_TV POS 5 I have be watch Dr. who since Tom Baker be on the show . and , until David Tennent arrive , Tom be definately `` the doctor '' . the second series have to have some of the best , most interesting episode for this tv show so far . there be also blooper , a video diary by David Tennant , BBC Dr. who comercial , audio -lrb- and some video -rrb- commentary by various writer , director and actor -lrb- include David Tennant and Bille Piper -rrb- and , my favorite , a ten minute little nugget that the BBC put together for a charity . it bridge the gap from the last episode in season one -lrb- right after the doctor regenerate -rrb- to right before the season two episode where they land in Cardiff for Christmas . it be definately a wonderful dvd set ! +128 Movies_TV POS 5 how do you improve on the near perfection of the reborn `` Doctor who '' star Christopher Eccleston ? quite easily , when you have story like `` School Reunion , '' `` the Girl in the Fireplace , '' `` the impossible planet , '' and `` the Satan pit , '' to name just a few , but ... I be get ahead of myself here ! for those of we of a `` certain age , '' as we say in England - that be the wrong side of 40 ! LOL ! - and remember the origin of the series waaaaaaaaay back in the 60 's , then spend the subsequent decade suffer through more cardboard set and rubber monster than you could shake a stick at - the Daleks be honorable exception of course ! - the rebirth of the venerable doctor in 2005 be a revelation . the story have be tightened-up considerably - no run up and down endless corridor filler here ! - the budget for a single episode appear to be more than be spend on a entire series from the good-old-day , the production values\/sfx be stellar , the write tight and dramatic , bring the doctor and he companion thoroughly up-to-date without lose the essence of the original . in Chris Eccleston they have , at last , a genuine , heavyweight thesp play the doctor , a actor who could not only handle the edgier , more grown-up aspect of the new story , but could also inject a element of the manic\/slightly unhinge into he performance , similar to the much-loved Tom Baker . and any worry that Billie Piper would not be up to the job , dramatically , be soon lay to rest ... and how !!! to say that we fan be spoil by the 2005 series be put it mildly , then as the season climax with the superlative `` bad Wolf '' and `` parting of the Ways , '' we be all throw for a loop when give a `` regeneration scene '' and a new doctor ! what be the BBC think about , be they crazy ?!?!?! the short answer be `` no , '' the casting of David Tennant be every bit as inspire as he predecessor ; he actually manage to up the manic-quotient without go completely bonkers , and bring a kind of geeky coolness to the character we have not see before ! and then there be `` Rose ; '' oh my goodness , in all it be year , there have never be a companion for the Doctor like Rose Tyler . unlike practically all previous companion , Rose be a character in she own right , with she own back story , fully realize , she be , dramatically at least , the Doctor 's equal . she development , from London shop-girl , to time traveler , explorer of the universe , and killer of Daleks , help drive the story in a new , more emotionally fulfil direction . after the roller coaster ride of season 1 with it be `` bad Wolf '' story arc , season 2 scale thing back ever so slightly , but invest even more time and effort in explore the relationship between the unearthly doctor , and the all-too-human Rose . this be tackle head-on in the 4th episode , `` School Reunion , '' which go some way to answer the question of what happen to the companion after they have stop travel with the Time Lord ; a stand-out episode , it re-introduce Elizabeth Sladen 's `` Sarah Jane Smith . '' I do not want to say too much about any particular episode for those who have not see the series yet , but the scene where Sarah Jane discover the TARDIS and its owner make the hair on the back of my neck stand up ! later in the episode there be a affect scene between the doctor and Rose as he try to explain to she why he can not allow himself to become emotionally involve with he human companion ... he be practically immortal , we be not . the next episode , `` the girl in the fireplace , '' perfectly illustrate the precede point , when the doctor allow himself to become attach to Madame de Pompadour , whilst simultaneously battle clockwork android on a derelict starship in the far future ! `` rise of the Cybermen '' and `` Age of Steel '' successfully reinvent one of the doctor most popular adversary , whilst `` the impossible planet '' and `` the Satan pit '' set-up some very alien-esque chill in a wonderful two-parter . the series end , just as do season 1 , with another amazing two-part story , `` Army of Ghosts '' and the aptly title `` Doomsday , '' which see the Daleks fight it out with the new-and-improved Cybermen for control of planet earth ; to steal a line from the totally execrable avp , `` whoever win , we lose ! '' LOL ! it be difficult to know which fate would be worse , have the whole planet `` upgrade '' by the Cybermen , or flay and fillet through the Daleks genetic lab to help create a even bigger and more murderous Dalek army !!! this be a superb story to end the season , but be warn , the finale be ... emotional ! there be a nice recur theme in the series concern the `` Torchwood Institute , '' which become central to the final two episode , and if this set be the first you have see of season 2 , DO make sure you watch the `` Children in Need '' episode in the `` special feature '' section of the set FIRST . it act as a coda to season 1 , as well as a prologue to season 2 , and explain the somewhat crazed materialization of the TARDIS , as well as the Doctor himself , in the rollick first episode , `` the Christmas Invasion . '' any worry I have that the quality of the first season could not be maintain be unfounded ... if you enjoy season 1 , grab season 2 immediately , you will not regret it ! +134 Movies_TV POS 5 I thoroughly enjoy all 14 adventure of this complete Second Series of Doctor who , with David Tennant as Doctor who and Billie Piper as Rose Tyler , he sidekick . I buy this series because of a very positive review of it in the January WIRED magazine . +538 Movies_TV POS 5 everything go as say . get the dvd and it be brand new in it be original wrapping . make my grandson very happy as this copy get lose . +821 Movies_TV POS 5 this movie be one of the best to drop in 99 and I think this be will 's most serious and best perfromance yet . he take it to another level by play the role of a lawyer who get catch up in a big cover up scam . he bag get switch with someone els that contain a disk with some serious information . I will not get into it too deep as to not give away the plot , but the storyline be tight . after watch this movie I wonder if the thing they show really can be do ... well not `` if they can ? '' . . but `` be they do '' . it start of kinda slow but once the action start thats it . Gene also be good in this and give this movie the serious side to it , while will make the comedy . Regina King play a small role as the wife . this movie show u how far technology have come and how easy it be to find out someone background . overall I would not sleep on this movie . I do not really buy movie but this and the matirx somehow get I to fall into it . get it +339 Movies_TV POS 5 I think that this movie be one of the great . it be a high action , high tech movie . it also show how the government can get pretty nasty , and how technology have really come along , it be sorta scarry ... for Will Smith fan , he play a good part , be chase all over and all . for Gene Hackman fan , he also play a good really good part as a secret agent in hide that help Will Smith get rid of he `` stalker '' . for Seth Green fan , he play as one of Will 's `` stalker '' . he and he partner track he down where ever he be with satelight view , tracker , and lot of other high tech stuff . I guess to sum it all up , this be a pretty good movie . I would recommend it every person that like high action movie . +757 Movies_TV POS 4 I be surprise at how much I like this movie . it be a cute story and help I like the prince even more . it be a good length and tell the story in appropriate time . +364 Movies_TV POS 5 First off , the `` egg : '' Watch closely when they flash Brill 's info on the screen during the database search right after Dean 's `` phone call '' so heavily allude to in the preview . no joke , the dude 's birthday be 9\/11 . I almost fall out of my chair . if you have not see enemy of the state yet , please do . it be a wonderfully do conspiracy\/chase thriller with stellar act from Hackman and Smith , a perfectly tune score , and morose , paranoid overtone that enhance the work as a whole . if you have see it and you be just camp review to make sure nobody crap all over you fave flick , watch it again and pause when Brill 's id come up on the screen . somebody please tell I I be see thing . because the film 's subject matter make the coincidence a creepy one . +539 Movies_TV POS 5 I have love this movie ever since I see it on the Disneyland tv show in the early 1950 's . it absolutely enthral I . the masterful animation , the fascinating story and the uplifting music go a long way in make the delicious fantasy almost seem true . as in all good , juicy story , character give each other a rough time . Captain Hook stalk Peter Pan and even give he a deadly bomb ! Peter Pan also taunt the good captain . the crocodile also do he best to make Captain Hook 's life a misery . funny how the pc police never bring up these male-on-male confrontation . but once Tinkerbell get jealous of wendy , or the mermaid act uppity , then we be deal with female-on-female bullying , and that do not go over with the lady nowadays . never mind that it be a fact of life . as for the caricatured native american stereotype , that be all they be . unhappily , a lot of caricature be exaggerated image which have grow up around a kernel of truth . and they apply to all race . as a white male , my biggest nightmare be that I may someday actually look like Homer Simpson , Elmer Fudd or Popeye . but I 'll just have to take my chance . kid be very sensitive to the energy around they , and if you sit there watch Disney 's Peter Pan with they in a guard , pc resistance-stance , they 'll tune right into it and then get turn off . why not lighten up , and take this film on its own wonderful fantasy term ? that positive energy will enhance the experience for you little one . if ever a film be make for child , this be one of the best . +833 Movies_TV POS 5 the new Doctor who -lrb- David Tennant -rrb- have make this series fresh , exciting , and open it to a whole new generation . a great set ... would highly recommend . +482 Movies_TV POS 5 David Tennant marvelously prove himself up to the task of follow Christopher Ecclestone 's `` fantastic '' role as the doctor . some great character from the past return , especially Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith and Jon Leeson as the voice of k9 in `` School Reunion '' . it be also good to see Harriet Jones and the Lady Cassandra return from Series 1 and , of course , the Daleks -- include a scene that go further than the head-crushing scene in `` Dalek '' from Series 1 in make the plunger appendage no longer look quite as silly . as the Daleks do in Series 1 , the Cybermen make a great return , be much scarier than in the original series . the season end with perhaps the most moving goodbye in the history of the series . `` Doctor who Confidential '' and the commentary provide the same fun background information as for the Series 1 dvd , with the -lrb- too short -rrb- gag reel , David Tennant 's extensive video diary , and the new picture in picture format for select commentary be welcome addition . the one most unwelcome addition be the forced viewing of the ad for the Series 1 box set and the BBC America cable network upon first loading -lrb- or reset -rrb- the first disk . +935 Movies_TV NEG 1 the Peter Pan cartoon be a classic , but the problem with this dvd be that Disney put about two hour of preview on this dvd set that you be force to sit through before the actual movie come on . you can try to forward through these preview , but it still take quite awhile to click through they all . it be too bad that advertising be Disney 's first priority . +726 Movies_TV POS 5 Eccelston do a fantastic job as the doctor and Tennant just get better and better as the series progress . the wonderful thing about this incarnation be that you do not have to have be a fan from the early day . the show be accessible to new viewer , while hold onto the history - as evidence by Sarah Jane and K9 . the story tell be marvelous and it be great to see a show in this day and age that do not always wrap up at the end of the broadcast hour . this series have drama , humor , tragedy , everything you could want in excellent tv . for the new viewer , and the old , we learn more about how the doctor come to be the last of the Time Lords , and he give out tidbit of he history for the new viewer . when you get these dvd , sit back , relax and enjoy the ride . it be fantastic ! +983 Movies_TV POS 4 the new Doctor take a little while to get into the swing of thing , but when he do , boy , do he ! the biggest bit of stuff in this new season be a new doctor and the loss of a character . I 'll let you figure this one out yourself . do not want to spoil the surprise . however , I will tell you that you have to wait till the very end . +94 Movies_TV POS 5 I have never see Peter Pan in my childhood . my wife and daughter see a sequel -lrb- I think -rrb- while in Perth , Ozzieland , and be thrill . feel leave out , I order this special edition . not what they see in the theater ; but it be something that my daughter have average 5 run a week for the last three month . if she fuss over she dinner - the mention of a time out for Peter Pan get instant result . now to go find the sequel ! +170 Movies_TV POS 4 this serei be a treat . Rose be perfetc and the new doctor be just as interesting as the previous doctor Louis +232 Movies_TV POS 5 great suspense and awesome storyline . worht all you money +234 Movies_TV NEU 3 this be fun and upbeat . a decent workout and love the music . but they go from a slow pace to show you the move and then jump to a very fast pace . it be doable but will take some time to get up to speed . beware however one very dangerous move !!! she do a `` jump into deep plie '' move that be down right dangerous and could easily and severely tear groin muscle - a very very bad injury . no one should even try this move unless they be so fit that they can do those `` jump into a full split '' move like the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders . otherwise it be fun and have decent cardio potential . the music be fantastic `` get you move '' music . if not for the dangerous move , I would have rate it higher . +520 Movies_TV POS 5 Techno terrorism and conspiracy theory lay out for the general public !! I have many friend that do not believe that this kind of thing be possible none the less actually happen to this day . if you like gizmo 's , gadget and technology , this be a must see movie then ... +191 Movies_TV NEU 3 this movie have a great premise and some very good moment . Will Smith and the rest of the cast be okay . overall though , it be not very impressive , and it will be quickly forget . this be a great movie to rent some night , but I do not recommend buy it . +358 Movies_TV NEG 1 I never get the peter pan walt disney dvd . I want to get my money back or get the product . +26 Movies_TV NEU 3 Disney movie in general be just better than everyone else 's , but not so for sequel . Disney sequel be famously bad , with mediocre music and iffy plot . bad enough to make one wonder : do they just throw this together to prey on the pocket of parent with little girl ? because , really , little girl be the only one who will not notice the gaping plot hole or massive inferiority of this to the original . what really get I be that on every new , fresh Disney movie , you can tell how much time and effort go into it . but sequel just seem to be a attempt to ride the success of the first movie , and this be no different . that say , I force my husband to watch this because it be , indeed , a interesting plotline . it remind I of a whole lot of anime fanfiction I have read -- cool but used idea , never quite live up to expectation , but you kind of have to finish it anyway . I maintain that the movie be watchable and probably very nice for kid , despite my husband 's protest of `` the fairy godmother just throw she wand , and then she be a useless doddering old lady . not magical at all . what kind of fairy godmother just throw she wand ?! '' but what bother ME most be the music -- I could deal with the `` perfectly Perfect '' song at first , but then I realize that the songwriter do not bother to come up with any other lyric . the same song be repeat over and over again , and not with the nice , thematic style that Pocahontas have -- they be actually just the same song alter a WEE bit to fit the situation . mean either the note or the word , but never both . and be anyone else bother by the fact that the prince do not seem to have a name ? or that the wicked stepmother keep say `` Bippity Boppity Boo '' in the most incongruous use of language since the last time President Bush speak in public ? I watch it . I enjoy part , like how the prince have a personality or how Cinderella be willing to fight to get she man . but it be not the Cinderella of Walt Disney 's day . Walt would not have allow this to be put on the market like it be . he have standard . +85 Movies_TV POS 4 I borrow this dvd from my local library , but purchase it because it be such a fun workout . I expect to be more annoyed than anything during the workout , but actually start to have fun while vigoroussly shake my hip . it can be difficult to keep up with the action , however . the narration do not always give you a lot of warn prior to transition to new move , but that do not hinder my workout . +281 Movies_TV POS 4 action-wizard Tony Scott 's latest be a technically brilliant , visually stunnung experience that be also very frightening . let 's all pray that this will remain fiction - always . or be it already too late ... ? +23 Movies_TV POS 5 it always strike I that Christopher Eccelston 's Christmas Day interview with the BBC in 2005 -- the day that `` Doctor who '' be reboot for the 21st century -- be ironic . he know , because the complete first season be shoot , that he be not come back ; which be why he mention of the Doctor 's ability to regenerate be so ... tell ... but maybe Chris also have a clue about the come storm that be David Tennant . Tennant 's Doctor -- ten , as other reviewer refer to he -- spiritually do connect back to Tom Baker 's fourth doctor , but David capture a joy in he doctor that Baker do not seem to have . both they doctor seem to understand the `` stream of thought '' concept in line delivery that capture the TimeLord 's essence ... but Tennant have a fun with he interpretation that Baker either be not allow or could not express in he 1974-1981 run . as a result , David push the envelope from where Eccelston have the doctor at the end of he run . while be far more joyful , Tennant also seem to capture the core sadness and anger of the doctor , and those moment seem starker and more striking when they occur . because Russell T. Davies allow ten to be more of a romantic , there be some stunning moment through the season . in many way , `` School Reunion '' and `` the Girl in the fireplace '' play as a two-part episode . `` School Reunion '' bring Elisabeth Sladen back to the Whoniverse as the doctor 's former companion , Sarah Jane Smith , and allow for a discussion -- aside from the main storyline -- that the previous run of Doctor who might not have broach . the scene in which Sarah Jane , sneak through the school at night , discover the TARDIS , and then turn to find Tennant and realize who he be -- be joyous , but quickly turn heartbreaking when Sarah Jane vent at the doctor for leave she ... which in turn , make the doctor talk about he reality -- that he lose those he care about , no matter what . this be a theme that play out in `` the Girl in the fireplace '' , where the TimeLord develop a strong attraction to Sophia Myles ' Madame de Pompadour -lrb- Tennant 's great line after Myles kiss he -- `` I just snog Madame de Pompadour !!! '' -- be a wonderful kick -rrb- . Tennant 's interpretation of the doctor be a wonderful match for Billie Piper 's Rose Tyler . watch the Doctor grow closer to Rose -- we understand he reluctance , but she will not deny she feeling -- be marvelous . Camille Coduri 's Jackie Tyler be scatter and charming , and Noel Clarke 's Mickey Smith mature courageously and sadly through the series -- Mickey come to accept Rose 's attraction to the doctor , but also come to grip with larger responsibility in `` rise of the Cybermen '' and `` the Age of Steel '' that give he a place and purpose . this box set be about the line that open -- and close -- this season , which be why this review be title as such . from the open to the Daleks\/Cybermen smackdown that finish the season in `` Army of ghost '' and `` Doomsday '' , this season allow for a more thorough introduction to the doctor and he world , allow longtime viewer to see the heart -lrb- Hearts , since he have two -rrb- of the preeminent character in british science fiction . though there will always be a element of mystery clouding the doctor , Davies and Tennant allow we to see more of the timelord than we have see over the year ... he strength , he humor , he devotion to life and this planet ... in short , a greater understanding of `` who the ` ell he be ... '' , and this be continue in Tennant 's run in Seasons three and four . this set -- highly recommend . +932 Movies_TV POS 5 a movie for all age any time and any year , these set of Disney movie will stay for the rest of the Earth time ! the movie that take you away to the dream world , somewhere that you forget for about 2 hour all you problem ! +214 Movies_TV POS 4 I be extremely pleased with this . very fast delivery and nothing dent or scratch that i didnt already know of . also the delivery be fantastic ! it have only be a week after order it when it come in the mail and when it do i be thrill ! +318 Movies_TV NEG 1 do not realize this be not a `` english '' item . should verify that you be purchase a non-english item . also purchase book in foreign language do not know be non-english . +92 Movies_TV POS 5 this be a very good movie about be in the wrong place at the wrong time . in the overview of this movie this poor man , in the wrong place at the wrong time , lose he life . he be give something , which he do not even know he have . which implicate a high ranking government official in something that he do not want public . consequently he life be take away . he credit card cancel , he friend murder -lrb- he be frame -rrb- and the one person who can help he do not want to get involve because he know how the government work . the non-helpful person be part of a government agency in the past . Insights into the NSA and what they be capable of make this movie a eye opener . highly recommend movie . Watch it , think about it , worry about it . you must get the movie for the detail but this movie be one worth watch and one that will make you think . along with entertaining you while it be one . +497 Movies_TV NEG 2 I buy this video because of the overwhelmingly positive review . however , I think it be difficult and too high impact for I . most of the move be confuse . Hemalayaa make it look really easy and I be sure it be ... for her . however , for someone overweight like I , the some of the move be quite near impossible . the cool down be alright but overall , I be not a fan . +377 Movies_TV POS 5 after order the complete ninth doctor season , I want to get the next one to see how the show would progress .

Cinderella 3 will not disappoint . it be worth the 6 dollar that I spend to rent it . +353 Movies_TV NEG 1 dvd do not even play through once - keep freezing and skip section . we buy as a Christmas present for we 5 year old - the new version be $ 30 more so we take a chance and buy use with a `` like new '' rating . we will try to return since we can not even watch the movie and we daughter be so disappointed . +62 Movies_TV POS 5 the purchase itself be simple and straightforward . Deivery be prompt . Series 2 of Doctor who have the newly regenerate doctor , into he 10th incarnation , get to know Rose with he new self . Rose be a little cautious at first , not have know beforehand that the doctor regenerate into a new body to save he life . they adventure range from lighthearted romp on alien world to both the doctor and Rose face some of they darkest hour . the series finale be exciting and heartbreaking all at once . overall , this be a excellent series for the show , and a ` must-have ' for a fan . +723 Movies_TV POS 5 I really do like the dvd itself , but the glue on the back of the case hold the dvd together fall off . just make sure in you third time watch they you have some tape or hot glue near by ; d +828 Movies_TV POS 5 we love it , the whole family . it have replace car and Cinderella as we 2 year old 's evening movie of choice , and we actually do not mind see it for the 40 something-th time . the song be great . it be interesting to see what we remember from see it as kid , and we catch ourselves sing the song around the house , off-key but much to we 2 year old 's delight . another great thing to share with she . probably we favorite Disney . enjoy . +391 Movies_TV POS 5 I love Mary Martin 's Peter Pan since I be a child , so when my 5 year old niece request the Disney film , I be please to be able to order it for she . she be delighted , as she mother have not be able to find the dvd . though not as enthralling -lrb- at least to I -rrb- as Martin 's version , my niece be thrill with it . and although I be near `` senior discount '' the idea of never grow up still appeal to I ! +393 Movies_TV POS 4 the new Doctor who series have a bigger budget and better writing than the past generation and it be ton of fun ! we prefer Christopher Eccleston in the 1st series as the doctor . David Tennant 's Doctor be just a bit melodramtic nutsy with a tinge of mushy humanism -lrb- a few too many diatribe about how magnificance of the human race -rrb- . otherwise , we have enjoy the 2nd series as much as the first and be look forward to the 3rd . we just might have to go back and watch some of the original series just so we know the history of the doctor better . +640 Movies_TV POS 5 `` enemy of the state '' remain the best film ever make by Will Smith . this be also Tony Scott 's best work since `` crimson Tide . '' `` enemy of the state '' be more than you usual thriller , this movie make you think . writer David Marconi write a intelligent screenplay that have a great , paranoid edge . like `` the X-Files , '' here we have the impression that no one be safe from the conspirator within the government . there be a great , technological angle and the action sequence be amazing . camera shot be breathtaking and the cinematography be rich and gritty as in `` The Rock '' and `` con air '' -lrb- like this one , Jerry Bruckheimer act as producer for those as well -rrb- . the character be also intriguing and interesting . the plot be complex and hard-hitting . this be a true thriller . +709 Movies_TV POS 5 great service . dvd arrive within two day of order . also offer to fix any problem with dvd and there be none . good pricing too . hat off Karen . will order more from you in the future . +428 Movies_TV POS 4 I recently buy this dvd to add to my repertoire of exercise dvd .

Hemalayaa be gregarious and wonderful instructor . I find she enthusiasm infectious and I can not wait to work out again with she . the best part about the workout be that while drive to work in the morning , my shoulder and back feel loose . I typically always have a lot of knot from stress and lot of drive . however , this workout seem to really loosen up my trouble spot . my only criticism be that the workout be not more intense and the background dancer . now , with that say , it be nice to have a few dvd that be a little less intense on day when I be not up for something more . the background dancer on Hemalayaa 's right seem to be off most of the time on the dvd . it seem like the production crew know it and just film she face whenever possible . it can be a little distracting . overall , I be really happy that I buy this dvd . +27 Movies_TV NEG 1 the disc be make for eurpeon dvd player and it will not play in the we make dvd player . so it really suck when my kid see the disc and it will not play . my husband use to work in the dvd\/cd production industry so he notice right away the write on the cover be in german that it will not play . +125 Movies_TV POS 4 I go to a pre-screening of this movie with very young friend of ours , 5 and 3 , and my 15 year old daughter . have hate the original animated `` Cinderella '' , I be not expect much . but I really enjoy this one . the mouse be hysterical , Cinderellie turn out to have a lot of spunk and a good sense of humor , the stepmother 's eerily creepy , and the stepsister turn out to be a good egg . it have a lot of sight gag , and the writing 's good - plenty to laugh at and get carry along by . plus , there be still good princess value for the tiny one - pretty dress , dancing , wedding , etc. . get it , you 'll enjoy it , and will not hate watch it more than once . +865 Movies_TV NEU 3 this be a Disney classic , and I have fond memory of watch it as a little girl . there be one thing I would have want to be aware of , however , before my purchase . Times have change a great deal , politically and socially , since this movie be make -lrb- 1951 I believe -rrb- . the depiction of native american be very stereotypical of the time - they be dumb and ugly , and the pirate be much more accurately depict than would be true in a movie make today . these thing do not detract from enjoyment of the film , however you might want to think twice before show it to a younger child , or provide a explanation to a older child who be watch for the first time . +127 Movies_TV POS 5 Director Tony Scott combine with the ace producer of the crimson Tide and Armageddon to give we a non stop thriller that start off fast and get even faster . Will Smith play Robert Clayton Dean , a lawyer unwillingly catch up in illegal politics when the hidden video of a Senator 's assination be unknowingly pass onn to he by a old friend . Acadamy award winner Gene Hackman -lrb- Crimson Tide -rrb- and John Voight -lrb- Mission impossible -rrb- also add to the thrill and spill as `` tomorrow 's technology '' be be use today for moniter we every move . a new third-generation cold war have begin in the US government . also look out for the mistake at the end when Dean be flick channel on he tv and see himself on the screen . Dean look up at the smoke detector , indicate that the camera be hide inside , however when he look up , he image on the tv screen also look up , and when he look back at the tv , he be stare at himself , indicate that the hidden camera be not really in the smoke detector , -lrb- as the audience be suppose to believe -rrb- but somewhere in or near the tv in front of he . +633 Movies_TV POS 5 Peter Pan be the first movie I ever see in theater . I have be in love with it ever since . for a year I call my dad `` Peter '' . my email address be tinkerbell343 . I be Tinkerbell for Halloween 5 year in a row !

Tennant not only live up to the part , he have eclip Eccleston in every way possible . he be easily best doctor since Tom Baker , and brilliantly mesh the serious and comdeic trait necesary to be the doctor . some of these episode really stand out and there be a nice mix in this set . blink may be the scariest who episode I have see -- ever . must see who !!!! +708 Movies_TV POS 4 most of we have see the original version of Disney 's Cinderella the story of a cinder girl who over come obstacle with the help of she fairy godmother to finally marry she prince , and live happily ever after . with that say , it be a beautiful animated film but quite honestly I think the original Cinderella story be too simple and kind of boring , but Cinderella III-A twist in Time be WAY ! better then the original film why because the story be richer and it have more layer to savor , also the animation be just as good as the original , yes I say it , ok most Disney film that be make just for dvd release have a very poor animation quality . but not this the second dvd sequel I love the fact that they keep the same level of animation and do not slack off just because its a dvd release like some of the other straight to dvd Disney remake . this one be a great one , and personally I think this sequel should of have a theater release because the animation stay true to what Disney be know for I highly recommend it , though the dvd only have a music video feature actress Hayden Panettiere , no audio commentary or making of short for we adult that be one slight disappointment , but over all a great film get it its very fun . +775 Movies_TV POS 5 if you enjoy the first season of the new show and feel apprehensive about season 2 , fear not - even with a new face , Doctor who be still a show that pack a lot of fun inside of a single hour . make the new doctor he own , tennant jaunt across time and space in a season of new show that alternate between funny & dark -lrb- often within the same story -rrb- , consistently surprising and - consider the end it go in time & space - thematically coherent -lrb- the joke become the tearjerker or vica-versa -rrb- . if the story themselves sometimes verge into tiresome or recycled , script and deft use of character make each episode a `` can not miss '' . -lrb- the new show develop strongly on the original 's excellent focus on secondary character or even one-shot character - witness expand role for Rose 's mum , and for Mickey ; Pete Tyler even make a reappearance - sort of ; there be even a episode tell entirely from the pov of regular human who chart the doctor 's exploit on Earth . -rrb- highlight for season 2 be expand role for Jackie & Mickey , a guest-spot for Sarah-Jane , run-in with a young Madame de Pompadour & a extremely unamused Queen Victoria , Cybermen , Daleks , one more bad wolf , the Devil himself and finally a episode in which it be reveal that tv be itself evil . -lrb- no , I do not make that up !! nor be I make up the fact that the world be save by ... Betamax !!! -rrb- while other sci-fi franchise slavishly cater and conform to fan ' idea of what the show have always be , dw spend most of its time go in surprising new direction . in `` the idiot Lantern '' , we find the doctor be he usual fun-loving time-hopper . yet `` the Girl in the Fireplace '' , display a more romantic , over-the-top chivalrous streak in the guy . the season culminate in a three-story arc involve the origin of the Cybermen and the unveiling of Torchwood , IMO , the weakest of the series . the Cybermen , it be reveal , be develop on a parallel-earth where it be always sunny and the sky be full of airship . -lrb- the opening shot look like something off a Led Zeppelin album , or the cover of a `` Luther Arkwright '' story . -rrb- posit a cold & calculate race artificially develop by a wheelchair-bound evil-maniac-genius , `` Age of Steel '' draw inevitable comparison to `` Genesis of the Daleks '' from 1975 , without match that classic story 's moral dilemma nor the desperate circumstance that underlie the Dalek 's creation . -lrb- in `` Genesis '' , crippled-genius Davros have be task to create mobile armor to house\/sustain a new generation of Kaleds - a race of alien doom to horrible mutation due to the effect of a endless war ; no similar society-wide pressure seem to mandate the creation of Cybermen , and they creator Lumic have all the mad-scientist dash of `` Doctor Evil '' . -rrb- instead , the high-point be ironically `` the Satan pit '' , which name aside , surpass its obvious debt to the disappointing movie `` Event Horizon '' and create some of the most compelling and outright scary hour of `` Doctor who '' . in that ep. , part of a 2-story arc , the Doctor land on a dead asteroid hover at the edge of a black hole that have devour countless civilization . a team of human ceaselessly drill to the core of the rock hope to learn how the asteroid have manage to escape the black hole . mix great effect and tension , the story be a great example of how both the new and original show highlight guest character . whether you be a fan of the old series or never catch on , season two show why you 'll be hooked . +655 Movies_TV NEG 1 beware ! you dvd from amazon will come without its cardboard slip cover ! this make this dvd worth \*\* a lot \*\* less as far as a collector 's standpoint . do I miss something in the description ? why no slip cover . . shame on amazon .

Great buy for I ! +209 Movies_TV NEG 1 I love this movie but unfortunately when i begin watch the dvd , it begin to freeze on certain scene then skip minute of a scene . Super disappoint that i pay for a damage dvd . the description say `` like new '' but it be obviously damage and the cover and disk look overuse with some previous owner 's name write all over it . +18 Movies_TV POS 5 I have actually have this set in my collection since last November . I be not sure what happen to my original review . I be always leery of the new doctor , have get so comfortable with the previous one whoever that may have be . Chris Eccleston 's doctor be a real triumph and he pairing with Billie Piper be nothing short of inspire . the story be great , take not only the series to new height but tv sci-fus also , so he departure after one season be truly brave , for where be that go to leave the show ? in the hand of a very talented individual by the name of David Tennant , that be where . he doctor explore humanity like never before and it be not since the Green Death that we see he so openly attach to he companion . they separation be a miserable experience for I and , damn , do I want he to tell Rose he feeling for she . she know it , he know it , we all know it but just say it ! the story be of a consistently high standard and some of the Doctor 's line be pure magic -lrb- `` I may die but the moral high ground be mine '' ! -rrb- this show have not only hit its stride but come of age . this be intelligent sci-fus , thoroughly enjoyable , gripping , witty and produce by people who care . the downside be that my set come with a natty little Cyberman head stick on the front -lrb- I could not wait for the US release ! -rrb- . just like the first box , which I also get from Amazon UK , this will not go many round . I take the first set out of the box and put they in separate case to avoid unnecessary wear and tear . perhaps I should do this again . this be a minor quibble , I suppose . the point be that the BBC have produce world-class television . that this television be my favorite ever show be a very good thing . enjoy the show , one episode after another . Tennant 's Doctor rock . +639 Movies_TV POS 4 I love the original , number 2 be ... ok at best , and number 3 be much better than number 2 . we -lrb- mom and two kid between 2 & 6 year old -rrb- really enjoy the movie . I wish that Disney have leave out some of the sarcastic comment , not make Cinerella so wind-blown attractive and such . it would have be very nice if they have go back to more of the original scripting . oh , and `` Gus '' ... the mouse ... not a good voice match on that one at all . Cinderella , the evil stepmother , Lucifer , the Prince and the Grand Duke have good voice matching . all in all a good family safe movie , some of the old dark black magic Disney be know for peek out -lrb- yea ! -rrb- , the evil stepmother be still very evil and Lucifer be still a `` bad kitty .

I also greatly appreciate the fact that the dvd have a music only option , so when you want to move the way the spirit move you , you be free to do so with no voice over give direction . instructor encourage you to smile , have fun & laugh at yourself , and be very positive throughout the entire workout . I highly recommend this if you want to have fun , feel better about yourself , and at the same time start or change pace in you fitness journey . +774 Movies_TV POS 5 the CD arrive as schedule in perfect condition . it be new and shrink wrap as represent . we have play the CD for my granddaughter and it be wonderful . the product match we expectation .

I decide to rent this exercise dvd from netflix , to see if I wsa up to it . I learn some good tip , but it be a bit too advanced , for I , to even spend the price list . thank you . +883 Movies_TV POS 4 this movie really put you at the edge of you seat . although Will Smith be good as Dean in the movie , I would think that Kurt Russell be a better fit for the role . this intelligently craft movie be so convincing that will make one wonder , if technology permit , will the world really be one where you can not hide from what you do and maybe what you think too ? check those corner for bug ... +345 Movies_TV POS 5 the return of Dr. who be the most exciting thing that have happen to Science Fiction TV since Star Trek The Next Generation premiere -- and much less disappointing . David Tennant be a funny , versatile , sexy doctor . although I miss the edginess of Christopher Eccleston , Tennant be terrific -- immediately likable . he be like a doctor with add , sometimes almost manic in he characterization , sometimes sad , very emotional , but always with a very firm set of internal guideline and invincibility . this doctor have accept who he be , have come to term with the life of a Time Lord , and more than anything let you see how alien he really be . this season have some of the saddest episode I can recall - three real tear jerker , and for the first time we actually get to see the doctor in a potentially romantic capacity . I love he delight in explore the universe -- when confront with a huge , menacing werewolf he first reaction be , `` beautiful ! '' Billie Piper as Rose be a good counterpart to this as they both frequently get catch up in the fun of travel -- yes they be face horrible villain and have to save the world on a episodic basis but they be also just plain have fun . it be a delight to see Elizabeth Sladen back as Sarah Jane Smith and also to see k-9 back . although I be not completely happy with the bitter portrayal of Sarah Jane , I can see what the writer be do and can see that it make sense in light of the story . I do wish the series have not spend so much time with Rose 's family . more than half of the episode center on Rose , she mother , she father and Mickey and it be , frankly , tiresome . companion be not suppose to have baggage ! I realize that the writer be try to explore this aspect of the show because it have never really be do before however that be always be part of the charm of Dr. who -- the thought that he can pick up a companion , take they out of time and space with no thought for whomever they might leave behind . that be a minor quibble , however . Dr. who rock ! Dr. who rule ! long live Dr. who ! +439 Movies_TV POS 5 we all know the story of Peter Pan , about how the boy who never age bring wendy darling to never land , fight Captain Hook , lose he shadow , the second star on the left , we can fly ! , and Tinker Bell . we know the story , we know the detail . so , why this platinum edition ? because Peter Pan have never look better and honestly , the movie age very well . Peter Pan feel fresh against much of the modern day animated fare out there , especially that be put out by Disney -lrb- Chicken Little , anyone ? -rrb- the First Disc contain the wonderful movie , a commentary track , and then the rest be for the kiddie . Peter 's Playful Prank be a picture book aim at the youngest reader and you can read it to you child , let you child read , or let the dvd read narrate the picture book . then , there be a preview for the Tinker Bell movie -lrb- gag I with a spoon , the movie look very , very cg and not at all in the classic hand draw style which be a Disney hallmark -rrb- . the last feature on the first disc be a option to jump to any of the song in the movie and have the lyric on screen . this be a fun feature and the best of the bunch , but obviously this disc be for the kid . Disc 2 be mostly for the adult . outside of some dvd game and a couple of music vido for the kid , the rest of the disc be for the Disney Buff . we get to see a song delete from the film and sing along to original artwork -lrb- not animated , though -rrb- . then Richard Sherman take we to a song which be never complete , so he go and complete it and Paige O'Hara -lrb- the voice of Belle from Beauty and the beast -rrb- sing it . interesting look . the best part of the second disc be Backstage Disney . this be where the history be . Uncle Walt give a explanation on why he make Peter Pan , there be a making of , some art gallery , a featurette from 1952 , and two more documentary . adult who want to go behind the scene for this movie will enjoy this section of the dvd . Disney do well by they fan with the platinum edition and they do not fail here . - Joe Sherry +16 Movies_TV POS 4 my young niece Sarah and nephew Caleb be terrify of Walt Disney 's 1953 animated feature , PETER PAN -- the crocodile , a band of pirate , Captain Hook with a hook hand , a rock slide that seem to momentarily kill Tinker Bell . the movie scare they so much in they younger day that they do not want to see it again , and neither do they mother . I , however , as a 56 year old film scholar find the film delightful -- a boy who can fly and refuse to grow up lead the darling kid over nighttime London and to Never-Land , where they all get to fight with indian and pirate . there be a Skull Rock , and a pirate cove , and a beautiful pirate ship . it be all just marvelous for adult . as for the crocodile , he be so stupid , boredly watch hook fight with Peter until Hook fall into the water . and Hook be a irresistible pirate for kid of all age . I love when Peter be on a mountain top pretend to be hook and give order to dopey Smee in a boat below . the glory of this animated film be that it be animated so the wire do not show in spectacular fly sequence , again highlight by `` you can fly '' as the gang fly over 1904 nighttime London , plus the prologue bedroom and all over Never-Land . hook have a real metal hook he deliciously screw on . Tinker Bell be a real , jealous fairy and not a spotlight on stage . and this be the one time Peter be play , satisfyingly and curiously , by a boy and not a grow woman , like Mary Martin on tv or Betty Bronson in a wonderful 1924 silent film version . also unlike , say , the Martin version , you can have spectacular fight sequence and the lose boy and darling kid tie up by the indian , not a lot of wire and paint backdrop . and the animation be magnificent , with deep color and rich detail , especially in this brand-new double disk platinum Edition dvd , which also boast a awesome 5.1 Disney enhance Home Theatre Mix soundtrack . disk one have the restore movie , but also a very informative audio commentary with Roy Disney , Leonard Maltin , John Canemaker , Kathryn `` Wendy '' Beaumont , the woman who model for Tinker Bell , and survive animator . the late Hans Conreid do Captain Hook 's voice to perfection , and Bobby Driscoll do Peter 's . disk two have a good two hour of bonus material , include behind-the-scenes filmmaking documentary , `` why I want to make PETER PAN '' by Walt Disney from the archive , the history of make PETER PAN include storyboard for delete scene that go back to the late 1930 's , a original never-before-seen opening to the movie , and a lovely delete song that songwriter Richard Sherman and singer Paige O'Hara -lrb- Belle in BEAUTY and the beast -rrb- have complete . if Disney have make the movie in the late 1930 's , it would have be very dark and frightening . there be also game and activity galore for child and family , and a fun virtual flight with Peter Pan over London and Never-Land . this PETER PAN have be painstakingly remaster and restore . the 1953 classic have never look nor sound this colorful and tuneful . it belong in every family 's video library , even if it have moment too scary for small child . they will grow into it , at which time it will be back in the Disney vault on seven year moratorium ; buy it now while you can . +917 Movies_TV POS 5 I love Doctor who and the 10th doctor do not disappoint . we enjoy every episode and the bonus feature on the dvd be nice . I especially enjoy the Doctor who Confidential and David Tennant 's Video Diaries . now I need to wait for the third season to arrive . I do hope that this series get pick up and air in the States . +408 Movies_TV NEG 1 I be very disappointed . I get the movie and it do not work . I try to contact the seller but they no longer respond to mail - whatever that mean . +75 Movies_TV POS 4 this movie be scary in the fact that most of it what it show could in fact be do today . at least that be true several year ago and if anything I would suspect that it be even more so . the movie definetly hold my attention . +25 Movies_TV POS 5 I can not add anything to the praise for this film . if you love Disney film , this be consider one of the classic . I just wish to briefly comment on the criticism of the lack of a widescreen version . the first widescreen film , the King and I , be release in 1956 . previous to this all film be full screen . Peter Pan , release in 1953 , and a good many of the Disney classic be only available in full screen aspect . this be not the pan and scan alteration of a original Widescreen format . the way this film be present on the dvd be the original aspect ratio ; nothing have be alter . I have see this so call criticism level against many Hollywood classic such as Casablanca , go with the wind and the Wizard of Oz . please , get off you high horse and stop whinn about how Disney or whatever movie company be rip you off . none of these film ever have a widescreen version to begin with . do a little research and you could be content to enjoy these classic in the aspect ratio they be orginally present in . that all I wish to say . +192 Movies_TV NEU 3 my 4 year old daughter love anything princess and therefore love this movie with its `` happily ever after '' end . as a adult , I be disappoint . since I have never see the second movie I do not know if the sister Anastasia change , but she be different in this movie . how do someone so spoil and mean become the character she be in iii ? also , the king be no longer interested in grandchild , but true love , which be not part of he character in the original . I guess what I be say be that the character do not seem to line up with the original character . I will say there be some redeeming thing about this movie ; namely that Cinderella be more independent and resourceful here . +725 Movies_TV POS 5 this be a great adaptation of the story . it be a favorite of mine grow up , and it still enthrall the kid here at home . +969 Movies_TV POS 5 Disney always have great movie for several generation . my 3 yo daughter love it and we sing all the song together . she love disney world even more when we visit . +293 Movies_TV POS 5 I have like all the version of Peter Pan make over the year -lrb- such as hook , and more recently P.J.

Peter hear these story from outside wendy 's window and decide to take she to neverland with he so that she can share she story with he `` lose Boys '' . with one of the strongest song in the Disney library , `` you can fly '' to Neverland and watch the rest of Peter 's adventure with wendy . Captain Hook be one of the most memorable Disney villain ever , especially with the croc chase he almost every time you see he . Tinkerbell eventually become one of the most see of all Disney character . and the portrayal of Peter Pan be dead on to the original material - he really be `` the boy who never grow up '' . the many extra pack into this single dvd , include a sing along -lrb- = without = `` you can fly '' ? horror ! -rrb- , the usual `` making of '' featurette , and some wonderful commentary by Roy Disney and many of the original animator , make this disc almost a must buy for Disney fan . highly recommend for any family with child . highly recommend for any collection of animation great - almost irreplaceable in a library of Disney classic . +521 Movies_TV POS 5 I simply love `` Peter Pan . '' Disney do a outstanding job digitally process this film to make its color bright and vivid on the screen . the sound be wonderful as well . there be some really nice dvd extra include with this film but I have yet to tackle all of they . I be too busy enjoy the actual film itself . it be a wonderful tale not only for youngster , but kid of thirty -lrb- like I -rrb- or more year as well . what be not to love about the film ? it have a high sea adventure and a boy who never want to grow up . it be get Tinkerbell who have become a force of she own as note by she upcoming film . it be get Indians , pirate , and a crocodile with a clock in he belly . of course , while most folk cheer on Peter Pan in he adventure , I be sure most of we also long to see the wickedly fun Captain Hook have he day . in all , it be as close to the perfect adventure as you can get . this film beckon for the day when we could play cowboy and Indians without the fear of offend anybody . it come from a time when we imagination be allow to run free . it be childhood capture on celluloid , and it be worth every penny to purchase it . highly recommend to anyone who have child or be a kid at heart . +686 Movies_TV POS 5 do anyone denounce the jealous rage of Tinker Bell , the petty antic of the mermaid or Peter 's sometimes cruel spirit actually read the original book ? no ? I do not think so . what be leave to say ? this movie be a Disney classic and hold a special place in the heart of many adult . however , the indirect racism and stereotype may not be appropriate for today audience and they parent 's undue concern with political correctness and empower view of femininity . the film be very date , but no more than the other animated feature from this time period . the film also do not accurately reflect the original novel , but none of Disney 's classic hold very true to they inspiration . this film be a beautiful example of light hearted entertainment of a bygone era . the old Disney classic be in a league all they own and modern child 's movie just can not touch they . if you be a parent concern with the indirect racism and old fashion view just look to the humor in today 's child 's film . sexual innuendo , toilet humor , political stab , many of which go over the head of the little one . what make outdated stereotype any worse than the derogatory humor use in today 's cgus cinematography ? at least these older film be intelligent and encourage child to dream big and use they imagination . the platinum edition of Peter Pan be a must have for any Disney collection . as you child get older show they the other adaptation , such as the live action and encourage they to read the book . there be no reason not to challenge a child . that be what these classic do , they open door to other means of enjoyment and enrichment for child . a lot of parent today really miss that point . +233 Movies_TV POS 5 a great copy of one of Disney 's best . now all we can still hope for be the eventual release of `` song of the South '' . +394 Movies_TV POS 5 I have be watch Doctor who for decade . I have love they . I be happy to season the Doctor come back . last season be great , and what we family have watch thus far be great . welcome back doctor ! +638 Movies_TV POS 5 it be great to be able to purchase the Disney movie that have go `` back Into the Vault '' thanks for the service . +11 Movies_TV POS 5 I remember the older show when I be a kid and use to laugh at the cheesey special effect and costume but all that have change now ! I can not wait for the next season ! +296 Movies_TV POS 5 I see the trailer and think this movie would suck . but once I step in the theater , I be utterly impressed . Will Smith deliver a wonderful performance show we a new side to he mistique . I think it make we all wonder about technology . before anyone get crazy , that cant really happen , ok . still the thought be entertaining : = -rrb- +544 Movies_TV POS 5 how do you take a long-running , cult hit about a alien that travel through time and space in a british police call box and make it cool ? hire a creative team that truly love the original mythology to bring the time traveler into the present . season one revive the show with a bigger budget , better effect , superb writing , and a charismatic new doctor in Chirstopher Eccleston . season two 's new Doctor , David Tennant , blend beautifully with the support cast while bring he own classically quirky stamp to the character . less childlike than Eccleston , Tennat 's doctor get a little more time for romance , even with sidekick Rose Tyler -lrb- Billie Piper -rrb- . but he still do he share of fight evil , alien , and evil alien . this year see he take on a werewolf , Cybermen , Daleks , Satan -lrb- yes , that Satan -rrb- , and Torchwood - England 's answer to Ares 51 . the six-dvd set include the Christmas episode and the `` Children in Need '' short that run between season in England , as well as outtake , delete scene , and a entire disc of the min-documentary series Doctor who Confidential , which be show only in the UK until now . this new Doctor who be a compelling - if not downright addicting - show for discerning student of sci-fus . get hooked . +249 Movies_TV POS 5 the second series of Doctor who be much better then the first series . the acting of David Tennant really make the series so much better . also Billie Piper have grow in she acting skill and play well off of Tennant . here be my take on the episode rate with 4 be the best . the CHRISTMAS INVASION : the doctor be stick in bed most of the episode leave Rose to figure out how to stop a alien invasion . David Tennant play the doctor as if he always have be . \*\*\* NEW EARTH : the doctor take Rose to she first alien planet where and old enemy be wait for they . this be not my fav . episode but it do have some nice character moment . \*\* tooth and claw : the doctor and Rose find themselves in Scotland where they meet Queen Victoria , Evil Monks and a werewolf . Plotholes aside this be a very enjoyable episode . the special effect be some of the best i have see on the show . \*\*\* SCHOOL REUNION : the doctor investigate a school where strange thing be happen . this episode be very fun for two reason : the doctor meet some old friend -lrb- Sarah Jane Smith and K-9 !!! -rrb- also that jealousy that spark between Rose and Sarah Jane . also Anthony Stewart Head be great as the villian Mr. Finch . \*\*\* 1\/2 the girl in the fireplace : the doctor , Rose and Mickey arrive on a spaceship in the 54th century where they find timehole lead back to earth 's past . this episode be one of my top fav . \*\*\* 1\/2 rise of the cyberman : one of the Doctor 's greatest enemy be about to come to life on a parallel earth . this episode mark the return of the cyberman and Rose 's father . \*\*\* the age of STEEL : this episode be much darker then rise , but the dark atmoshpere add much to the story . also Mickey 's charater arc take a surprising turn . \*\*\* the idiot 's LANTERN : it be the 1950s and the coronation of the Queen just day away . people all over england be get turn into faceless zombie by they television . this be mostly a filler episode but with some fun bit . not my fav . but still enjoyable . the villian be also not that great . \*\* 1\/2 the impossible planet : the impossible have happen a planet orbit a blackhole . can the Doctor find out why before something deep within the planet awake ? this be a very fun episode and also a episode that not set on earth . \*\*\* 1\/2 the SATAN PIT : as Rose be threaten by the ood , the doctor face a anicent evil . this episode be a classic . \*\*\*\* love and monster : a ordinary man become obsess with the doctor and try to find he . this episode be not as bad as everyone say it be . the villian be dumb but the story show what happen to the people the doctor leave behind . \*\* 1\/2 fear her : another filler episode fill with some nice character bit . beware the giant scribble . \*\* army of ghost : Torchwood be reveal while the doctor be take prisoner . who be the Army of Ghosts ? Rose come into she own in this episode . a great episode . \*\*\*\* DOOMSDAY : as Torchwood and the world be invade , will the Doctor be able to save we ? a heartbreaking conclusion to a excellent season . a great episode with a somewhat offbeat cliffhanger . \*\*\*\* +485 Movies_TV POS 5 this be a terrific purchase via Amazon.com for we little princess lover & pirate !!! they have SOOOO enjoy we original video til its almost worn out , so we be super happy to purchase the dvd version which they beg to watch EVERDAY ! really great item ! +746 Movies_TV POS 5 not only do my kid beg for pan everyday , I catch myself watch it with they . the magic be still there . +581 Movies_TV POS 5 this be the most paranoia-fying movie I have ever see , aside from the Matrix , the Sixth sense , and dark city . to think , no , to KNOW , that the NSA , CIA , FBI , or any other more of `` they '' could be , would be , and often be watch you be a extremely paranoid thought . I love will Smith , he be a great actor , and this be he best performance yet . this be my first gene Hackman movie , and I love he even more than Will Smith ! John Voight be one of my most favorite actor to date , also . like they say on the cover of the box : it be not paranoia when the be really after you . some of my friend think I be paranoid , but I guess that be because they have not see this movie yet ... +823 Movies_TV POS 5 before this movie , Willy be a good actor . but now he be the whole best actor ... why ? Watch this movie , you 'll recognize ... . +910 Movies_TV POS 5 I be keep this seal as a collector item . it arrive in perfect condition +773 Movies_TV POS 5 this movie be great . it be a good follow up to Cinderella . my grand kid love it . +594 Movies_TV NEG 1 David Tennant 's mugging do not help the tired , repetitive scripting . apart from the magnificent the Girl in the Fireplace , a bland rehash of the first season . they would have be better off cancel the series after Christopher Eccleston 's perfect season . +431 Movies_TV NEG 1 I 'll be brief . enemy of the state be a good action flick with a lousy transfer to dvd . if you have a standard television stop read this review now : you will not notice what I be talk about . if you be run a 16:9 tv then read on . like many before , this supposedly `` wide screen '' version be nothing of the sort . the dvd be encode in a standard 4:3 image , with black bar mat the top and bottom . in other word , this be a non-anamorphic transfer . what that mean be that the image you be see be lower resolution than a standard NTSC tv signal because of the fewer vertical line present . on a 16:9 tv the image look `` squish '' shorter and `` stretch '' longer . most 16:9 tv 's have a mode that can re-stretch the image to achieve the proper aspect ratio . the problem there be now the horizontal line be clearly visible throughout the film . I wish studio would stop the absurd practice of release `` mat '' widescreen transfer , and only call a dvd `` Widescreen '' if the transfer be anamorphic . but as long as they be do it , hopefully enough people will protest to get the studio 's attention . +108 Movies_TV POS 5 this be one of the best movie I have see . with Will Smith be a D.C. Lawyer run into a college friend who slip he a assasination tape of a congressman make via bird watch video equiptment near a lake . the NSA be hot on Smith 's trail , with John Voight lead the pack . Will Smith take the aid of Brill , play by Gene Hackman , who be recommend by a information dealer who run job for Smith for he court case . with a great cast , non-stop action , and a couple hoot and hollar , this movie should be the example to all the director of all government-based action movie . I thank the director on he stunning work , the writer give a complex story , and the score guy , who make a outstanding soundtrack . +239 Movies_TV POS 5 this movie I believe be something most of we only wish could have be make . who do not want to see Cinderella maybe lose she happily ever after ? in the first movie she always seem to do she work with a sarcastic tone . she could not even get up out of bed , some maid !! I think this movie might be a little scary for some kid because the stepmother be really wicked this time . she break Cinderella 's slipper and then tell she to go `` clean it up '' . the best part be when the step mother use magic to trap Cinderella inside a pumpkin , and not that fancy coach this be inside with he seed and thorn grow all around it and Cinderella 's dress be all rip . Haha and Cinderella be so silly when she go `` but I dance with the prince '' and the stepmother just laugh at she ! also what really be amazing be that there be almost a unspoken theme in the movie the the King and Anastasia fall in love , if you have see this movie you know what I be talk about !! could this be a clue to a possible Cinderella 4 ?? Anastasia as Queen lol you decide !! +120 Movies_TV NEU 3 `` PETER PAN '' a Disney favorite from 1953 have be resurrect , remaster and restore for its premier digital transfer . the Technicolor animation be once again pristine and the sound be crystal clear . although the animation style be far-removed from the detailed , classic , illustrator style of `` Snow White '' and `` Pinnochio , '' it be still fluid , with nicely frame composition that have a rougher , more spontaneous , almost sketchy look that usher in a modernistic wave of Disney animation . the bonus material be significant , especially the fabulous commentary track host by Roy Disney -lrb- Walt 's nephew -rrb- and the making-of documentary with always affable and informed Leonard Maltin and old time animator Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnson and the voice of wendy , Kathryn Beaumont . there be a preview of the new big screen feature `` return to Neverland '' among other extra . there be a notorious element to this movie in the haunting presence of the late , brilliant and beautiful child star Bobby Driscoll -lrb- the voice of Peter Pan -rrb- . he be discover dead of a drug overdose in a condemn New York tenement in 1968 and bury in a pauper 's grave . more than a year later he be finally identify through fingerprint . `` Peter Pan '' be a fitting tribute to Driscoll 's remarkable , natural , talent . and the genius of Walt Disney in visualize the darker element barely , if even , hint at in the original fantasy . +628 Movies_TV NEG 1 I agree with the other 2 one star reviewer - why bother ? this be some of the worst television I have ever see . I love old Doctor who up to somewhere towards the end of Tom Baker - then it get patchy and be only sporadically worthwhile . this new series be Doctor who in name only - when compare with the old stuff this be a good demonstration of we culture go to seed . the format have change completely - admittedly this second series Tennant be much better than ce , but neither of they be ` doctor-like ' at all in my opinion . the new BBC production be glossy and look kind of impressive but it fail to hide the lack of heart beneath . everything be sensationalise and overly dramatic - the writing be terrible , the character particularly annoying and the Doctor , although historically sometimes play the fool , here add to the role a cocksure arrogance which somehow do not feel right anymore . in fact , this new Doctor who be a apt metaphor for the once great Britain go to seed in modern time . Slappers , whinger , lout and bully make up the character and there be so much pull of the heart-string that it all snap pretty quickly . the new ` action ' emphasis represent a dumb down of the format into a more modern american feel but 90s Star Trek be so much better than this . it show how lack in imagination the BBC be that it have to drag the doctor kick , scream and whinge back into the 21st century to a treatment and postmodern environment that do not suit at all . they really should be ashamed of themselves but they would not have the good sense to be I guess . it be obvious I be out of step with popular opinion - you 'll find lot of people who love the new Star Wars film too - but I reckon if you genuinely enjoy this stuff then that be pretty sad . this be empty , flashy rubbish that recycle old idea into a ill-fitting new format design to suit the audience of today with 10-second attention span and a need for explicit romantic content and soppy emotional rubbish entirely lack in credibility or sincerity . it be not that I think they should have remake it try to keep it as it be , they just should have let it rip and come up with a new idea - obviously too hard for the mastermind run BBC these day . -lrb- on a similar theme - the decline of the british persona be show up in a series of embarrassing interview do by some young git for the Fawlty Towers boxset . check out the one with Prunella Scales - I feel sorry for she have to tolerate the fool . -rrb- ok - tell I how unhelpful it be to post a different opinion here rather than the normal , gush 5-star rave and the sycophantic Amazon official review - I be wait ... +95 Movies_TV POS 5 a wonderful restored peter pan with plenty of INTERESTING EXTRAS . love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! +656 Movies_TV POS 5 buy this as a Christmas gift and the little girl be excite over it . you can not go wrong with Peter Pan . +612 Movies_TV POS 5 I always enjoy watch Peter Pan as a kid grow up and now I and my son can watch it together . it be a great classic that never get old . the extra detailed feature on the bonus dvd be quite entertaining . what else can you say about this classic ? it get two thumb up from I . +658 Movies_TV POS 5 this movie be every thing you would expect of a sequel to be . it take from the original but build character trait in Cinderella and Anastacia and advance this cherish classic . the movie start out a year after the magical wedding of the Prince and Cinderella . they be still in marital bliss and be about to celebrate they one-year anniversary with just Cinderella 's closest friend , include the mouse and the fairy godmother . at the same time , Drusilla and Anastacia be at the old house do the chore that Cinderella once do and endure the scorn of they mother . after the sibling fight , Anastacia stumble upon the soiree in a field not far from where she stand . this be the turn point in she life as well as Cinderella as the magic wand which the fairy godmother wield with compassion find its way into the hand of the wicked stepmother . there be many extraordinary twist and turn , and in so , we be treat to a new take on the real power behind Cinderella and the Prince 's relationship . issue of honesty , self-evalution , hope play a much more prominent role than `` magic . '' and , these trait be particularly flesh out in Cinderella , much more than anyone else , but also Anastacia . the Prince be still a somewhat dim-witted clod that , under the impression of the stepmother 's spell , define he relationship with he `` true love '' initially by look -- he see Anastacia and be repulse at the sight of she ; he immediately dismiss she despite the premise that he `` true love '' would wear the glass slipper . Cinderella , on the other hand , be not disillusion and measure she relationship by the moment spend together . it be these moment that continually drive she to take matter into she own hand and not the dependency on anything outside of herself . Cinderella 3 elevate we heroine into a worthy contemporary version worthy of this sequel and worthy of family discussion . +834 Movies_TV POS 4 fun video , make I sweat and feel the workout ! hard to work some of the move at pace of the video . Guess you gotta be more coordinate ! +647 Movies_TV POS 5 my brother , sister and I really like Smee . he be funny and we like it when he stick out he tongue at the other pirate . the lose boy ' house be neat aswell as they hike . the mermaid be dumb . +176 Movies_TV NEG 1 I would buy this , if the dvd price be not so insane . $ 20 - $ 30 for a season be fine . I like support creative artist whose work I enjoy . that be say , I watch this elsewhere on the internet . it be good . +37 Movies_TV POS 5 this be always one of my favorite Disney movie . I be happy to say that it be now one of my 2 daughter 's favorite as well . we get the dvd when it come out and they have watch it over and over . all I can say be that I be glad that dvd movie do not wear out like VHS or Beta . the clarity of the image be fantastic . Disney re-release be always beautiful and this be no exception . special feature be great for the adult or older child . a definite must have for any family , but especially for those of we who remember or , more importantly , can not remember what it be like to be a kid . +796 Movies_TV NEU 3 enemy of the state be my first film , wich I buy here . +478 Movies_TV POS 5 cast a new Dr who to replace Christopher Eccleston be never go to be easy for the BBC and Russell t Davies . Eccleston have make the role he own and he untimely departure have frankly put the successfully revive show into jeopardy . fortunately , along come David Tennant who get into the role with relish . it be pointless try to compare Eccleston and Tennant against each other because both have such very different approach to play the doctor . Tennant retain some of the intensity that Eccleston bring to the screen but he doctor be more relax and lay back . indeed , he be full of the eccentricity that previous doctor bring to the character . just like the first series , the second series be a delightful collection of episode , some be naturally better than other but this be normally the case in any tv series generally . episode to watch out for be Tooth and Claw where Tennant and Rose -lrb- again superbly play by Billie Piper -rrb- have to protect Queen Victoria from a werewolf , the age of steel and rise of the Cybermen have a superb reincarnation of one of the Doctor 's greatest foe -lrb- even if the plot could have be better -rrb- , the Satan pit and inmpossible planet two parter , and School Reunion which see the return of k9 and Sarah Jane Smith . however , the real cream of the series come down to three episode : the Girl in the fireplace which be a superbly realize love story as the doctor battle to save Madame Pompadour from the clutch of a sentient spaceship and clockwork android ... Army of Ghosts and Doomsday see the return of the Cybermen when they invade the Earth in they million , and the Torchwood center be show in detail for the first time . Into this mix , however , then come the doctor 's most dreaded foe - the Daleks ... anyone who enjoy the first series will get they money 's worth out of this . Tennant have turn out to be a superb doctor and Billie Piper again excel as Rose , he assistant . sadly though , this be Rose 's last series and David Tennant will have a new assistant for the currently film Series three . that say , Billie Piper have indicate though that she would like to return to the role but in the newly create Dr who spin off - torchwood which feature Captain Jack from the first series , again play by John Barrymore . hat off to Russell T. Davies have again do a superb job with the script for this second series of Dr who . fan will be please to know that Russell be also script the raunchy Sci Fi spin off from Dr who - Torchwood , which on the strength of its first two episode look likely to be a winner too . fan of the series may be interested to know that Amazon . co. uk be release a limited edition pack of Doctor who - the complete Second Series in a three dimensional Cyberman head box , with other goody inside . this will be available from the 20.11.06 . be aware though that this be a region 2 dvd set and you will need a multi-region dvd player to be able to watch this . yet another dvd that justify upgrade to a multi-region player , if you do not yet have this facility ... -lrb- ... -rrb- +414 Movies_TV POS 5 fantastic ! the adjustment time from the first series doctor be a bit long for I but the story be simply great in this second series . the last episode be truly awesome ! when I tell my kid about Doctor who , they give I the `` raspberry '' . but , when we all be watch the next to the last tv episode which end with `` to be continue '' , they all let out a gasp of dispair !!!!! so much for they `` raspberry '' !! Dad be right about this be a great series ! +671 Movies_TV POS 4 this be a great video . it be not about do the choreography perfectly , but just have fun and dancing around in you living room . it do not feel like exercise at all ! +766 Movies_TV POS 5 I be really disappointed that the `` first '' doctor have to go , after have get use to he . BUT , this second season , as a whole , be better than the first . the only thing I find to be `` off '' be the doctor 's flirtyness -lrb- which seem like more than just flirt , really -rrb- with other woman -lrb- in both season -rrb- while seem commit to he partner . it be just a odd thing to throw in when both season be actually quite romantic . perhaps the writer think that they can keep more viewer that way ? anyway , besides that little bur in my sock , I consider the second season of Doctor who the best make thus far . +990 Movies_TV POS 5 I buy this dvd for my grandson who will be two next month . I know he will enjoy it . +609 Movies_TV NEU 3 when I first hear that Disney be make a third Cinderella , I be a bit leary . I would already purchase and watch the second one and be very disappointed . HOwever , once I hear the premise of the third Cinderella , I be intrigue and interested . so , once it come out , I purchase it . I will say , it be better than the second Cinderella only in that it tell a actual story and be not a collection of short episod . of course , it be not as good as the orginial . I like the story idea and the animation be actually quite good for a Disney straight to video but sadly , as the sequel tend to do , the character where kind of ruin . for some reason , the sequel feel the need to take serious character and turn they into goofball ! I highly doubt Prince Charming would leap out the palace window just because he father tell he he could not go down the stair ! and I really do not think Cinderella would blatently disobey the rule . she would not confront the Prince alone and practically force he to remember who she be ! for starter , even without the spell cast on he , it be quite understandable for the Prince not to remember Cinderella . she be dress up in a very fancy gown and it be rather dark at the ball and now she be dress in she rag and look quite different from when she be at the ball . of course , I know this be Disney , but still ! Cinderella should not be so confused as to why he do not remember she ! they would only meet that one time ! sadly , this sequel also give Cinderella a attitude that she do not have in the original and that kind of take away from she whole sweet innocence . the mice,step-sister and step-mother be still in character for the most part so that be nice . I be also rather curious as to why Anastasia be the step-sister who have the side story ? she find a love in the second Cinderella -lrb- and where do that baker go in this third one ? after all , the second Cinderella take place right after Cinderella and the Prince marry while the third one take place about a year later -rrb- . the Baker show up in a picture during the credit so he be obviously still a romantic interest , but still , why do Anastasia get to be the one to `` marry '' the prince when she should already be in love with the baker ? now after read this review , you be probably think if there be anything good about it . well , as mention before the story line itself be cute , though a little too close to the scene in the little mermaid -lrb- and on a side note , Prince Charming be voice by the same guy who voice Prince Eric from Little Mermaid -rrb- . I will say , my favorite scene be when the mouse be try to convince Prince Charming that he be in love with Cinderella and he think he be go nut because bird and mouse be talk attack he . my favorite line have to do with Prince charming tell he father that `` the mouse tell he he be in love with someone else '' and that he have to go get she but not to worry he 'll be back in time for the wedding . the king then tell he that it be not the wedding he be worried about , it be the talk mouse ! I laugh quite at that , and I be even giggle right now ! I have to say , there be several silly bit and it be kind of refresh to see Cinderella look like she have be ring through the ringer near the end . not that I have anything against she , it be just nice to see she not look so fresh all the time . I think she probably even look she age when she be about to go on the ship near the end because she hair be down -lrb- not tie back -rrb- and since she be probably between 18-20 , she look that old during that scene . so , for child , this be a very good movie because of the silliness , but it be just not the same as the original so do not expect it to be . +635 Movies_TV NEG 1 when I FIRST see it I hate it !!!!! it be a total disappointment !!!!!! a total disappointment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

David Tennant be a wonderful replacement for Christopher Eccleston . +227 Movies_TV POS 5 replace classic Disney movie with dvd 's put Peter Pan near the top . ca not be beat in more modern version . arrive promptly and in excellent condition . +317 Movies_TV POS 5 Old Disney ... when Walt be alive set a precedent that be distroy by many film until Lion King . +826 Movies_TV POS 5 I be so glad we bring Peter Pan . I have not see this movie in year . we have we grandson 's over , they watch Peter Pan for the first time and love it . . they watch it over and over ... so for Easter we get we grandson 's Peter Pan dvd , they be so excited ... +52 Movies_TV POS 5 I buy this as a Christmas present for my 8 year old next door neighbor . she watch it with she 10 year old sister and they both really love it ! I be plan on borrow it from they soon so I can see it too : o -rrb- +646 Movies_TV POS 5 this be one of the most wonderful movie for kid and grow up , lot of adventure and fun , one of the classic Disney 's masterpiece , a must own . +384 Movies_TV POS 4 I love fairy tale in all form , and I really do like Cinderella II . I be a bit worried about Cinderella III because my first impression be that Disney be just out to make more money . as I learn the premise for the movie , `` what if the fairy godmother have become incapacitated and the stepmother have the wand ? '' and it make I stop and say , `` okay , I have to see that movie . '' Disney develop the plot quite nicely . Everytime Cinderella triumph , the stepmother would one up she and I would still be wait for my happy ending . I like the anticipation . also , as many other reader have say , Cinderella have gut in this movie . she stand up to the stepmother and tell she `` hey lady quit rain on my parade ! '' this movie be a great sequel . it seem to stem from a provacative idea rather than Disney be out to disappoint we with a sub-par sequel -lrb- i.e. . the jungle book 2 -rrb- . Watch Cinderella III , it be a great movie for a rainy afternoon with you kid . +613 Movies_TV POS 5 I be not sure which season I like better , season one or two . in season one there be not one episode I do not like . however , there be three that I do not like in this season , but the good episode of this season I think be even better than most of those in the first season . we have a new doctor , David Tennant . and although I would have like to have see Christopher Eccelston in the show for a bit longer , David Tennant do make a great doctor himself . by just watch he premiere episode , you know that David Tennant be the right man for the job . we also have a great companion , the best since Sarah Jane Smith , depart . Billie Piper as Rose Tylor prove to be a fantastic assistant for the Doctor , and now with season two 's finale we see she leave in one of the most dramatic and emotional -lrb- and best -rrb- goodbye there ever be for a companion . and we even get to see a small return by Elizabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith and the lovable robotic mut k9 with John Leeson protray he voice . episode include : the Christmas Invasion -lrb- five star -rrb- New Earth -lrb- five star -rrb- tooth and claw -lrb- five star -rrb- School Reunion -lrb- four star -rrb- the Girl in the fireplace -lrb- two star -rrb- rise of the Cybermen -lrb- five star -rrb- the age of steel -lrb- five star -rrb- the idiot 's Lantern -lrb- four star -rrb- the impossible planet -lrb- five star -rrb- the Satan pit -lrb- five star -rrb- Love & Monsters -lrb- two star -rrb- fear she -lrb- one star -rrb- Army of ghost -lrb- five star -rrb- doomsday -lrb- five star -rrb- in all , a great epic season that I highly recommend ! +719 Movies_TV POS 5 it have be a long time since I have see this Disney Classic , but I think it be a absolute hoot ! my 4-year-old son laugh so hard at the crocodile sequence that he wet himself ! -lrb- for he , a first -rrb- this be a excellent piece of entertainment . to hell with the `` stereotyping '' complaint . if you be too pc to endure they , then do not watch the movie . simple , huh ? this be a fantasy , and have more in common with the Warner Bros. approach to cartooning than most people realize . just compare bug and Y. Sam to Pan and Hook and you 'll see what I mean . it be far less honey sweet than most other early Disney classic . oh , and incidently , the last time Disney bent over backwards for the `` native american sensitivity crowd , '' the result be `` pokaboreme . '' a bomb , if memory serve . come on folk , lighten up ! by the way , why be it nobody complain about the stereotyped brit and pirate ? +997 Movies_TV POS 4 Will Smith do it again ! after watch this movie I want to shut the blind , turn off the computer , unplug my phone and live like a hermit ! it be non-stop action from begin to end . my eye be red at the end of the movie because I be too afraid to blink and miss something ! +661 Movies_TV POS 5 enemy of the state be one of those film that you be wait for the action . it be a clever production with nice suspence , adventure and action all over the time . it be a movie that everyone should watch it . this movie it will be UNFORGETABLE regard ANGELOS KALLI +193 Movies_TV NEG 2 movie get here in great time . good shape and play great ! great deal ! +190 Movies_TV POS 4 my five-year-old have watch Cinderella and Cinderella II countless time , so she be very excite to see the third in the series . have only watch it once so far , but I think she really like it . she do say that she think there be moment where it be very `` dramatic , '' refer to the scene where Lady Tremaine call on the power of the universe to change history . I be not sure if dramatic be a good thing or a bad thing , but I be sure she will watch it again . +41 Movies_TV POS 4 there really be so many way to tell a story , so many different thing you can emphasize , so many characterization you can change while retain the essence of a story . do Disney make the perfect Peter Pan ? I read this story to my daughter nearly nightly but have never actually see this film . it be be around nearly 60 year as of this writing and I have be alive for many of those year but could not say I take the time to see this Disney ` classic ' . after view it last night I have to say it be ` classic Disney ' - what the Disney company use to be . classical music permeate it which be so different than the mainstream pop\/contempo tune in newer Disney fair . what I really like -lrb- love -rrb- be how innocent the child be . there be no wisecrack , there be honest respect for parent and there be just a certain sweetness that never come across in the newer film . Nemo -lrb- Finding -rrb- perhaps have touch of this innocence characteristic but nothing like sweet little Michael who cling to he teddy bear . another thing I love about this film be the animation . it be beautiful and , again , classic Disney . you can tell a lot of work and care go into every drawing and coloring . even more impressive be the lack of any modern cgus , which may dazzle but usually distract from the story . the only thing I do not enjoy about the film be cultural and a product of they time . the portrayal as woman as these subservient , empty head object be a bit much . the use of classical instrumentation for EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER MOVEMENT be barely tolerable . seriously , do a full horn section have to start blare every time Peter Pan lean on a wall ? . there be a few bright musical moment , though -lrb- ` you can fly ' , be pretty enchanting -rrb- . another thing that be really painful to watch be the indian scene ; song like ` what make the redman red ' and the characterization of the chief -lrb- ` how ' ` I set-um you on fire ' ` Squaw no cook , only bring food ' -rrb- cover good ol' 50 's racism and sexism at it be finest . it be weird to think people use to think like that . perhaps such portrayal might have be entertain to little child raise on poorly write western on tv but these day it be the kind of thing that could be edit from the film to positive effect . but for it be flaw I have to say it be still much better than most of what Disney put out , which be remarkable for such a old film -lrb- 1953 -rrb- . definitely worth owning . on a side note , $ 48 to own ... really ? I still can not figure out where Disney get it be fleece , I mean pricing scheme from . be I the only one that think that be a bit steep for a child 's movie ? I have a hard time equate how the company consider itself ` family friendly ' but price it be product -lrb- theme park ticket , dvd 's , etc. -rrb- in range that most middle class family would stretch to afford . +155 Movies_TV POS 5 accord to BBC and netflix the only problem be with disc 1 on the copy make for netflix . excellent series . +892 Movies_TV POS 5 I have see `` Cinderella III '' and - simply put - it be a animated gem that Walt Disney would have be proud of . in this sequel , Cinderella do not play the victim to wicked stepmom 's magical mischief - she fight hard for herself and for she man , Prince Charming . no mere action heroine , Cindy III use she brain to figure out how to outwit the villain , but do not shrink from hand out some well-deserved Princess pay back -lrb- wait til you see the runaway pumpkin coach scene ! -rrb- the action climax -lrb- s -rrb- will have everyone cheer . traditional animated fairy tale convention be observe - and then top with innovative story tell that make you recall the beloved Disney classic of old . catchy song , first rate animation , valuable lesson for the small fry , and some great plot twist will keep this Cinderella a family favorite for a long time . +98 Movies_TV POS 5 yes , at time hemalayaa go a little fast to follow the first time around , but exact replication be not the point . this video be ton of fun . the move be very accurate to modern bollywood film . and the go-at-your-own-pace attitude be refreshing . i just try this video for the first time right after recover from strep throat , while still have a cough and i be able to keep up perfectly fine . rest when i need to . and the more you do this video , the more you 'll be able to keep up with the festive dance move . +754 Movies_TV POS 5 I just finish watch enemy of the state and I have to tell you that I should have watch it sooner . I love thriller and this movie hit the right spot . some great chase scene but with a good plot which leave you hang until the very end . definitely worth to watch . +986 Movies_TV NEU 3 movie : enemy of the state be another one of Jerry Bruckheimer 's mid 90 's action extravaganza . he reunite with Tony Scott to bring we this action flick about government coverup and how technology be use to basically track every aspect of you life . the movie be about a lawyer who be unwillingly throw into a wild cat and mouse chase . a congressman be murder near a reservoir where research be do on migratory goose . so , unknowingly , the whole thing be catch on tape and end up in the hand of a nerdy and young Jason Lee . he realize what he have in he possession and during a foot chase he bump into he old friend play by Will Smith and secretly drop the tape in he bag . now will Smith 's character be throw into a world of espionage without know why he be be hunt . he meet up with Brill , play by Gene Hackman , a ex NSA agent who end up help he . Hackman basically play a reincarnation of he character in Coppola 's the conversation . the movie be direct at a fast pace by Tony Scott , and it be a overall entertaining action flick . I feel the movie try to be smarter than it actually be and that the character be very plain and boring . act : I do not like Hackman in this role , but Will Smith bring some life into the movie . for people who have not see the movie in awhile you should check it out to recognize some young face include Jack Black , Jake Busey , Jaimie Kennedy , Seth Green , and the of course the previously mention Jason Lee . video : the great thing about the recent release of con air , Crimson Tide , and enemy of the state be the new anamorphic transfer of the film . they be greatly appreciate and be so much better than the old one . the quality of the transfer have not improve greatly in term of picture quality , but there be a noticeable difference . AUDIO : as for sound we get a very dull Dolby 5.1 mix . all the dialogue be usually center heavy , and rarely do action actually envelope you from the surround speaker . the track be the same from the old release , so it be not the best . there be some scene with helicopter and some big explosion that utilize the surround speaker well , but overall it be a very dull mix . special feature : the `` making of '' featurette be actually more extensive than I be expect . they talk more about the gadget use in the film versus the actual movie , but overall I find it to be interesting . all the interview be do back during the making of the movie and it be a pretty extensive behind the scene for what the movie be . one thing I find extremely interesting be that they talk about a scene where will Smith be chase by car in a underground tunnel in he bathrobe . in reality , the car do not fit into the tunnel so they have do take the car apart and weld they back together in the tunnel . the entire scene be maybe a minute long ! I just find it interesting that all that work be do for maybe a blip of action . anyway , the next featurette be basically some on set footage . overall the two featurette do justice for what this movie be . BOTTOM LINE : I get confused whether this be indeed a `` extended '' cut of the film or not . the cover you see on place like Amazon be not the cover that you actually get . the cover of the film be actually label `` special edition '' , but the menu do indeed say `` Unrated Extended Edition '' . so , I be thoroughly confuse . I do not notice anything noticeably new , and the run time list be identical between the old disc and the new one . still , the upgrade be worth it . +798 Movies_TV NEG 1 my daughter have be wait on this dvd for 3 week now . never get the dvd we order . contact seller by e-mail twice and they never respond back at all !!! very disappointing . do not recommend this seller at all . +524 Movies_TV POS 5 I be a fan of the older series , but David Tennant make the new series that much more amazing . he be perfect as `` the doctor '' and definitely bring a life to the season he have star in that make this truly the kind of awesome I have come to expect from Doctor who . +895 Movies_TV NEU 3 if you be look for a nice escapist story , please try this one . if you have any friend or family , however , who do not have a ATM card , use the internet to shop , or give out they credit card or social security number over the phone or internet because of all the big bad thing people be capable of do to you , please do not show they this . it will only feed into they paranoia . the best part of the movie be the interplay between Will Smith and Gene Hackman . it take I a while to recognize Hackman . he play this superparanoid person who have manage to survive 15 year outside of the system and it be the system that cause he to live that way . what make they exchange so funny be that Gene Hackman be not really around to save Will Smith 's butt ; he be there to save he own and prevent Smith from blow he cover . it really be refreshing to see Regina King actually play a intelligent character , not a around the way girl . +802 Movies_TV POS 5 I love this film , always have , always will . however the color restoration turn practically every character ' hair red . wendy and John certainly never have red hair before . although the original color be date , it be much more beautiful . +724 Movies_TV POS 5 I have to admit that I be disappoint with Cinderella II so I think this movie would be the same let down ... gosh , be I wrong . not only do my girl love this movie -lrb- 2 and 4 year old -rrb- but I find myself enjoy it too ! I be really surprise this be not release in the movie before go to dvd ... it be very good ! +361 Movies_TV POS 5 give this as a gift to my daughter who collect classic Disney . I be sure it be incomparable . +178 Movies_TV NEG 1 we buy this video with a condition rating of NEW ! the video be certainly not new , the case be dirty - the movie be all static , and it skip . my son -lrb- who be autistic -rrb- have a extreme melt down because he be suppose to be able to watch PETER PAN , and we could not get through the movie ! I will be return this and will not purchase from this seller again . shame on the seller for the misleading condition !!! +617 Movies_TV POS 4 it will take I a bit before can do everything . . but it be a fun way to exercise and stop it and go back be a plus . I be have fun . +705 Movies_TV POS 4 I be one of those people who have bellyach about the pathetic quality of Disney movie sequel . they be usually poorly animated dumb story crank out by Disney for maximum profit . so imagine my surprise when Cinderella III actually end up be a enjoyable experience , not only for my 4-year-old daughter , but for myself . the animation , while not on par with the orginal , be still decent . the story be interesting and have several memorable song . I would definitely recommend this movie ! +461 Movies_TV POS 5 I have always love this movie ! so , as you may know , I could not help but purchase the 2-disc platinum edition of Peter Pan as soon as I spot it ! it be such a great little tale , and can teach about a dozen valuable lesson . also , it come with all kind of bonus feature that be just as fun and dandy as the movie itself . my family and I have many fond memory of watch Walt Disney 's Peter Pan in we living room , and now we can continue they for a good long time ! highly recommend for everyone at any age !!! +481 Movies_TV POS 5 I be really impressed with this movie . . as the scene be well think out and the movie be fill with action pack scene . I think that the story be very creative and the actor know there line . along with the comedy , the drama and action be also compelling ... +454 Movies_TV NEU 3 I have not previously watch or even be interested in a straight-to-dvd Disney sequel , but for some reason I pick this up , and think it sound quite cool , kinda have a back to the future ring to it . I put it back , think it would just be as bad as the review for other ` classic ' would be , but my mum remembered , and buy it for my birthday . -lrb- early twenty and I still love Disney movie ! -rrb- I be pleasantly surprised , as with most straight to dvd sequel , they be normally a carbon copy of the first , and in no way original . it feature many of the same familiar character , include the two mouse , my favorite ! albeit with different voice . it be a original storyline too , with change everything that happen in the very first , and make Cinderella fight for she prince charming . -lrb- do he ever get a name by the way ? -rrb- I do find the song be not as great as the original , but we would have guess that . they be not really memorable , but I can definitely remember the one from the first . just one wee quibble - do anyone else notice when the prince propose to anastacium , she actually put the ring on the wrong hand ?! it be suppose to be the fourth finger -lrb- if you count the thumb -rrb- of the left hand , not the right ! unlike many sequel , this will probably stand the test of time , and will definitely be one I show my kid , along with the other special edition I be collect - although by that time , dvd will probably be obsolete . but if you have hear bad review about other sequel , this be the one you should pick up . and adult will enjoy the suspenseful storyline too , even if it be predictable . +148 Movies_TV POS 5 love it , love it , love it . though Doctor who be write for british kid and I be a 45 year old american , I still find a fun romp through space and time worthwhile . I love the story and find myself quote line from it in my everyday life , even though no-one I know watch it . +60 Movies_TV POS 5 receive this item way before I expect it . thank you Amazon . +721 Movies_TV POS 4 I purchase Cinderella III for my daughter ; however I be also anxious to see what this new version be about ; so I end up watch it before she do . while it tell the same ole love conquer all story ; I appreciate the fact that it involve one of the sister and make she out not to be so bad afterall . I always think that perhaps someone should re-write the story and make the sister not so evil . just people look for love as Cinderella be . this story `` almost '' do that . perhaps leave room for another tale after this one that would have a love interest for the sister . a funny tale rather than the typical `` romance '' story . the music ofcourse be not as good as the original ; but in these follow-up movie they seldom be . Cinderella also appear more intelligent and more capable of make decision on she own and handle the situation with inginuity . my daughter enjoy it once she do finally get to see it and we have add it to we grow library with pleasure . +995 Movies_TV POS 5 this it the perfect way to get insipred , get a workout , and let go of tension ! thank you , Hemalayaa ! you inspire I ! +659 Movies_TV POS 5 I love this video and do it once every two week or so . I be in great shape and yet I always end up completely drench in sweat in the mere 45 minute it take to do the workout . sometimes I team up with my sister and we all do the dvd together , which be great because we crack ourselves up during some of the `` sassy '' move . judge from she enthusiasm and sweet demeanor , I get the feeling that be exactly the kind of attitude hemalayaa want you to have when you be dance with she . Hooray for fun workout ! +715 Movies_TV POS 5 I have to thank Disney for leave this film uncut . but I wonder why Disney choose to censor Fantasia and not this film . they both have racial sterotype . anyway I be just happy they do not censor it . please release all you film uncut , unedited and unpc . +89 Movies_TV POS 5 I love this movie , as I do all the earlier Disney animation . I read the review by Carolinapooh , and I , too , remember that the part about clap to keep Tinkerbell alive be in the movie ! if you watch it , you will see Tinkerbell fading , and then there be a abrupt cut and suddenly she be ok . why would they have take it out ? maybe they think kid today be just too sophisticated for that , and sadly , they may be right . +786 Movies_TV POS 5 I buy the peter pan vh because when I be a kid it be my favorite movie , so when I see it for sale on Amazon I know I have to have it for my three year old grand daughter and guess what ? she love it too , just go to show that those Disney Masterpieces really be timeless , enduring classic and by the way I enjoue watch it again too . Peter Pan -lrb- fully restore 45th anniversary limited edition -rrb- -lrb- Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection -rrb- -lrb- VHS +522 Movies_TV NEG 1 DONT WASTE your money on THIS THRILLER WANNA be . it be SLOW , BORING and COMPLETLY UN realistic . if you be think about pay money for THSI BIG TIME BOMB THINK again . +940 Movies_TV POS 4 like many other thousand of people I be a huge fan of Disney animated classic so I be very happy that this edition of Peter Pan be available . I always have a very active imagination as a kid and it kind of dwindle away as the year roll on by so it be always enjoyable to watch this movie and think of never grow up . the story be so fun and magical . now a little down side to this movie be I do not want my kid to try to fly out a window !!! do you think Michael Jackson be try to have the face of Peter Pan it really do look like he with the large eye and very small nose ? +30 Movies_TV POS 4 enemy of the state be a great movie if you like a lot of action , I love the movie . its about a lawyer who be life get twist when he come in counter with a disk that have the murder of the governor . he get help from a man that have be in this situation before and they team up to stay alive . the movie show people what kind of Technology the World have and make you think about the future . the only bad thing about the movie be the timing . enemy of the State should have be just alittle bit longer . I never find myself drift off in the movie and it keep bring more and more action and alittle bit of comedy from Will Smith . I would recommend this movie to anybody that like action pack movie with lot of adventure . +878 Movies_TV POS 4 Whenever I think of Peter Pan , the first thing that come to my mind be the Disney animated version of the timeless story of the boy who never grow up . like with past classic Disney animated film , `` Peter Pan '' receive its own platinum edition -lrb- translation : two disc pack with goody like behind the scene footage , lose footage , game and music -rrb- . the bonus disc be great . I especially dig the make of Peter Pan and why Walt Disney have to make Peter Pan . fascinating material . the story of Peter Pan be create by James Matthew Barrie . anyone who have see 2004 's `` Finding Neverland '' would know that the inspiration behind the film be he muse be five young boy . the story of the Disney film begin with wendy and she two brother John and Michael . wendy have somehow get a hold of Peter Pan 's shadow with hope that Pan would someday come get it so she can meet he . Peter Pan and he travel companion Tinkerbell do come . Peter invite the trio to Neverland and the result be non-stop adventure involve the lose boy , Captain Hook , and a crocodile with a alarm clock inside its stomach . it be nice to see the animation have be clean up . the vibrant color really come through in this new version of `` Peter Pan '' . what I be not too terribly keen on be the music . I find the song syrupy or too cheesy for my liking but I suppose that be because I be a adult . young child might like they . I could hardly care less about the game but again kid will more likely enjoy they than adult would . overall I be glad to see that `` Peter Pan '' be give a platinum edition . this be a classic . +352 Movies_TV NEG 2 I buy this workout video base on the user review - while the instructor do go over a series of good indian dance move , the instruction leave a lot to be desire and individual move be not break down into they component part at the height of the workout . there be little notice give before switch move and I often find myself leave behind and unable to follow the instructor . I would not purchase anything by hemalayaa again . +674 Movies_TV POS 4 I watch this dvd with my two girl -lrb- age 6 and 10 -rrb- . we like it very much . my 10 year old comment that she like it much better than Cinderella II . the story be a cute `` twist '' on the original which I still hold very dear to my heart . the message be perfect for my girl , which be ... do not try to be something you be not just to get someone to love you . and , of course , it be happily ever after ! +119 Movies_TV POS 5 in my opinion , `` Peter Pan '' be a dinsey masterpeice and one of the best classic Disney film . wendy , John , and Michael all believe in the magic and wonder of Peter Pan , and one night as they be dream wendy be awake by move around in the nursey , there stand before they be `` Peter Pan `` who take they to where he live and where kid will never grow up into adult , Neverland . while discover neverland they meet up with enchanting mermaid , indain . wendy , Micheal , John meet pan family sort of speak the lose boy and discover the wonder and childlike fantasy of never grow up . but most of all , they meet Peter Pan 's biggest adversary , the mean and devilish Captain Hook . I watch peter pan for the first time when i be five `` Peter Pan '' be a great classic film . when I be a kid , I use to watch it all the time and i still do , mainly because I use to wish that I would never grow up , just like Peter Pan and the lose boy . now that I be grow , I do not have those thought any more , but I still enjoy watch `` Peter Pan . '' it be a good movie . it be funny at time and exciting , it give I a little bit of nostalgia everytime I watch it , and it even have unforgettable song such as `` you can fly . '' I do not see where it matter how old you be , there be not anything wrong with watch cartoon after you be grow , if you like classic cartoon movie or if you have any child , this will absolutely hold they attention `` Peter Pan '' would be a great movie to own . +160 Movies_TV POS 4 if you be read this , I do not need to tell you about Russell T. Davies 's reboot of the venerable doctor who franchise , David Tennant 's step into Christopher Eccelston 's shoe and fill they `` fan-tast-ic ! `` ly , or how supporting cast Billie Piper , Noel Clarke and Camille Coduri really come into they own because you have probably already see it on SciFi Channel -lrb- before it become `` See-Fee '' ! -rrb- or BBC America . otoh , what make the boxed set worth buying be the raft of special feature that be never show in the US , or show in \* highly \* truncate form : episode of the doctor who CONFIDENTIAL behind the scene show , one for each episode ; cast and crew commentary for each episode , some video Picture-in-Picture ; and a video diary do of the season by star tennant with the sometimes aid of he then-girlfriend , actress Sophia Miles -lrb- `` The Girl in the Fireplace '' -rrb- . +174 Movies_TV NEU 3 director : Tony Scott cast : Will Smith , Gene Hackman , Jon Voight , Regina King , Loren Dean , Jake Busey , Barry Pepper . run time : 127 minute . rate r for violence and language . another producer Jerry Bruckheimer\/director Tony Scott thrill ride without substance , this time pit family man lawyer Robert Clayton Dean -lrb- play by Will Smith in a ho-hum performance -rrb- against a technologically-driven government . not know that the trivial meeting with a old friend would cause he so much trouble , Dean get suck into a conspiracy case involve a rogue National Security Agent -lrb- Jon Voight -rrb- who kill a United States congressman because he accidentally receive a video tape with footage of the murder . with incredible surveillance technique and technology , Voight be able to track all of the lawyer 's move and keep tab on he . we hero 's life be turn upside down until he meet up with a stealthy former NSA active name Brill -lrb- play very well by Gene Hackman -rrb- . with the assistance of Brill , Dean attack the government head on and must learn the truth in order to save he life . Director Tony Scott brilliantly use the camera to portray he view , jolt the character through a series of incredible chase scene , rip-roaring explosion , and intense firearm combat , but ultimately `` enemy of the state '' focus solely on the unbridled advance in special effect ability that it keep the audience from understand the story and get involve with the character . Smith be only adequate in he first major `` dramatic '' role , while Hackman and Voight pick up some of the slack in they devilishly effective part . a must-see if you be into big explosion and dynamite cinematography , but one to leave on the shelf if over-acting and a mediocre script be a annoyance . +903 Movies_TV POS 5 I purchase the special edition the day after it be release . the film essentially look the same as it always have , except that the background be clearer . there must be something about digital revitilization of movie that just make the background stand out more ! in addition to this , the soundtrack have improve -- quite noticeably . as for the Bonus feature -- they be very well do and worth view ! the make of Peter Pan be very informative and colorful ... lot of picture and sketch from production in the late 40s-1953 . Captain Hook be as clever as always ... Peter Pan a great character . do anyone else wonder why he ear be pointed though ? hmm ... and Tinker Bell sparkle . what a pixie ! as a whole , great entertainment and a improvement from my 1990 VHS -lrb- when it be first release onto video !! -rrb- and even from the dvd version release just about 3 year ago . I be just so happy to have this movie on dvd now as it be one of my favorite ... Hurray for Captain Pan ! +926 Movies_TV POS 5 when compare to MAN ON fire and DOMINO you have to understand that this be one of those movie where a average joe 's life get flip upside down when he intercept very politically , and potientially deadly , threatening material . the minute we find ourselves plug into this man 's world we be introduce to several people who be keep tab on he 24 hour a day . they wait outside in truck , bug he , tap he , question he , even pick up satiliete image to pin-point he exact location . it give a all new meaning to the word `` overactive paranoia . '' but , in DOMINO , it relate the most becuase DOMINO , as well , be about someone normal who evoke a change in she boring life . this be the story of a man who do not ask for he life to be change . Whihc make he the perfect everyday hero , in my humble opinion . enjoy ! +678 Movies_TV POS 5 my daughter love Disney movie , so she love this one as well . she love the story of peter-pan and talk about the kid in the movie all the time . recommend for the movie lover . +939 Movies_TV POS 5 David Tennant be brilliant as the doctor ! I love this series , and my only complaint be that it be only 13 episode long ! +577 Movies_TV POS 5 the act in enemy of the state be far beyond Ok as you see will Smith set up the high tension and thrill perfectly . the movie start out with a little confusement so already I like it because unlike the movie today I be not able to predict a thing . Robert Clayton Dean -lrb- Will Smith -rrb- be a lawyer with a wife and family that love a orginize and free of crime life . turn upside down after a chance meeting with a college buddy -lrb- Jason Lee -rrb- at a lingerie shop where he go to pick up a gift for he wife . while wait he be just be have a videotape slip into he bag contain a congressman 's assassination . right on he back for this tape be a ruthless group of National Security Agents command by a hostile fed name Reynolds -lrb- Jon Voight -rrb- . use surveillance from satellite , bug , and other sophisticated snoop device , the NSA infiltrate every facet of Dean 's existence , trace each physical and digital footprint he leave . drive by acute paranoia , Dean enlist the help of a clandestine former NSA operative name Brill -lrb- Gene Hackman -rrb- , and enemy of the State kick into high-intensity hyperdrive . privacy be never certain in this movie and it show you that it be like that in real life . there be no sign of slow down until the very end . +937 Movies_TV POS 5 when I first see `` enemy of the state '' , I immediately know that this would be the first of many film to awaken people to the harsh reality of privacy in this era . every dished-out fact speak throughout the movie be a dead on biography in itself of government surveilance and national security . Gene Hackman portray the perfect , grumpy ex-security agent who be try to build he life around he day as a protector of America . until however , he run into labor lawyer Robert Dean play by Will Smith , who be suddenly catch up in a web of false accusation and conspiracy from the country 's last line of defense . he and Hackman must now work together to save he life ... and he good name , which be cleverly tarnish by the agency and a crooked politician . the casting really bring out the best in the movie , especially with Will Smith 's sarcastic and rather indifferent and comic attitude at time . the high-tech gadget war keep you interested as you wonder whose technology will prevail in the end . the movie keep you on the edge of you seat with non-stop action , flawless scripting and above all it be similarity to a highly advance and often paranoid world we live in today . +816 Movies_TV POS 4 this be a classic Disney , from a story fill with magic that appeal to all age . my three year old watch it over and over , and love to read the story too . +591 Movies_TV POS 4 one of my favorite movie . I think it be one of Smith 's best performance . it do not get the publicity of some of he other movie however it be far better than most of he blockbuster . +47 Movies_TV POS 5 ok , I admit , I do not want to spend the money and start out by borrow this one from the library . in fact , I play it for my almost 3 year old daughter while I take a shower , because I really be not all that interested in a direct to dvd video . she request it again -lrb- and again , and again -rrb- . finally one day i need to get some work do and set up the laptop in the family room while she be watch . needless to say , I do not accomplish much for the duration of the movie . LOL ! what a refreshingly fun story ! I love that Cinderella take charge of she own destiny instead of be `` save by the handsome prince '' . I also like the character development of Anastasia - although I find it a little difficult to swallow the thought of she as a sympathetic character , it do work very well . you see the progression of change , so it make sense . not a big fan of the `` I know I be in love the moment I touch she hand '' thing , but it be still a fairy tale , after all . the animation of the face be even better than the original . Cinderella 's expression be gorgeous and tug at you heart . the voice be wonderful , too . and very true to the original . +333 Movies_TV NEU 3 I be expect more traditional oriental dancing , and I guess I should have know better just by see the word `` Bollywood '' . pro : good workout , it can actually make you sweat . Easy to follow . the dance move be not precise and this can be good for unexperimented dancer -lrb- actually , you do not even need to know how to dance to do this workout -rrb- . con : 1 -rrb- if you be look for a belly dancing , do not buy . none of the move be relate to belly dancing . 2 -rrb- also , bad , bad narration -lrb- be sassy ! be sexy ! Etc. -rrb- . honestly , I would never do this workout with someone next to I . 3 -rrb- the music be awful . 4 -rrb- the whole workout look like a spice girl video . 5 -rrb- some of the move can actually be dangerous for you neck\/back . so if you be look for a fun workout that will make you sweat , that be for you . otherwise , you can find much better dance dvd somewhere else . +850 Movies_TV POS 4 in today 's surveillance society film like ` enemy of the State ' can make for think provoke view at time and couple with a fairly decent storyline this be a good way to spend a couple of hour . this follow a Washington attorney -lrb- play by Will Smith -rrb- who inadvertently get possession of a video contain a political assassination . a NSA team be set up to discredit he and to track down the tape and pretty soon thing take a sinister turn , with bug , track device , stop credit card , smear campaign and more and pretty soon he be way out of he depth . fortunately he have a contact who be adept in counter surveillance -lrb- who he previously buy information from for he legal case -rrb- who be able to assist he in regain he life and level the playing file with the NSA spook who be on he tail . whilst some of the technology and surveillance idea in this film seem a little far fetch , I be sure some of these technique be use and even some more we be not even aware of . you start to contemplate the level of surveillance and privacy in society as more infringement start to unfold throughout the film , not bad for a action flick . the acting be pretty good from all involve and Gene Hackman be excellent and steal the film from Smith , but to be honest the support cast be so good that this have worthy performance from all involve . this move at a fast pace and be direct well , with a real sense of action and also disquiet at the roving satellite that spin overhead . this be a good action film and raise some interesting issue about privacy in modern society and it be well worth a look at some point . Feel free to check out my blog which can be find on my profile page . +900 Movies_TV POS 5 another great Disney movie to add to we collection ! I love watch this movie I have not see in age and my son love watch these great `` new '' movie +894 Movies_TV NEG 1 Peter Pan be a exciting movie of make believe , fun for child of all age to watch . I be disappointed that I can not show it to my child because of the disgusting depiction of aboriginal people throughout it . in one spot it actually say `` the red man be cunning but not intelligent '' . I hope Disney have realize its error and I think a edit version should be release with a apology to aboriginal people . +587 Movies_TV POS 4 First of all , it remind you the novel by George Orwell . although the idea be similar , this movie be great ! . . I do not know how many time I watch this movie , but I enjoy everytime I watch it . you never get bore while you be watch as the continous action scene make you sit in you chair w\/out a pause and they be shoot in a perfect way . one of my best in my collection together with Matrix , Thomas Crown Affair , Truman Show , Notting Hill etc. . +346 Movies_TV POS 4 the video be film in a nice set , well light and you can see everything clearly . on some occasion the camera be on a face when I would have want to see the foot , and some close-up be not in time with the rhythm of the music but overall the editing be ok . hemalayaa and she 2 `` sister '' who dance along most of the time be wear workout clothes , the foot be clearly visible . I only wonder why they be wear egyptian coin belt in a `` indian '' dance workout ... the intro feature hemalayaa with a speach that be a bit over-enthusiastic for my taste . you know , stuff like `` once you start , you never can stop '' in a tone as if she be on some kind of happy pill ... what irritated I be that accord to she bollywood dance be `` not about elaborate choreography . '' Helloooo ? if we define Bollywood dance as `` dance like in Hindi film '' - well it be all about choreography , and most of it be quite fast and elaborate ! there be a warm up section that I have mix feeling about . some of it be good , but there be at least 4 different head movement that can hurt you neck . I think it be well know 20 year ago that roll you head all around can be bad for the neck ? also , I think she should have mendionn that knee have to be align with the foot when bend they because she do a lot of plunge . the dance workout section mostly teach Bhangra movement and the music be modern Bhangra as well -lrb- Bhangra be a north indian folk dance , originally dance by man -rrb- . they be a good joice for a workout but only a small part of the movement and style use in Bollywood dance number . there be one hop step she call the `` Hare Krishna '' but never explain why and I really do not get the connection . there be not a lot emphasis on the arm and hand , so you mostly work out the leg and there be a section call `` ground play '' that also work out the ab . as this be a workout where you be suppose to be constantly move , the movement be not really break down , just sometimes do slowly and then faster . it certainly make I sweat , so this mission be accomplish : - -rrb- hemalayaa give voice-over comment and repeatedly tell we to `` have fun with it ! '' and `` smile ! '' well , if you do not want that , you have the option to do the workout with music alone . I like the cool down section -lrb- except more head rolling -rrb- although I miss a good stretch for the leg which would have need the most . there be a extra performance show hemalayaa with or without the two other dancer basically bop around to the music we already hear in the workout , use the movement that be teach . unfortunately it be all cut in MTV style , sometimes in slow motion - so it be not like you could really dance along . all in all , it be ok for a workout video . you will learn some fun dance movement that you can use at the next Bollywood\/Bhangra party but it will not make you a Bollywood dancer . -lrb- btw , I have be bellydance for 17 year and I really do not see any bellydance movement in this dvd ! the hip move be do differently . -rrb- +205 Movies_TV POS 5 although I enjoy `` enemy of the state '' when it first come out on dvd , I then take it at face value as mere entertainment . I find this taut thriller even more suspenseful the second time around ; moreover , it have assume a chilling plausibility -- probably because of now be able to ` tour ' various world capital at street level on Google map . Will Smith and Gene Hackman -lrb- and he cat -rrb- have a marvelous on-camera chemistry ; and whereas some of the ` hot political thriller ' that I have see of late fall flat or run out of steam at the end , `` enemy of the state '' pack a wallop that really deliver ! +400 Movies_TV POS 4 this be just a cinema classic that should be in every family 's collection . the bonus feature be not bad either but the real jewel be have the original movie . it be Peter Pan ala Disney ... what more be there to say . +684 Movies_TV POS 4 what happen when the evil stepmother get the magic wand ? this be what this movie explore . it show the power of true love , impart the lesson of be true to oneself , and have enough gag laugh for the little one to be tickle with . the song where actually quite good - and the pace of the movie be quick , no lull . Cinderella do come off as a strong woman , not a weak helpless maiden , and overall - a good movie for you little princess to watch . enjoy . +606 Movies_TV POS 5 I have two seller cancel on I before I find this seller . I receive the movie on time and quality be as expect . +819 Movies_TV NEG 2 I love Peter and pirate and mermaid -- but this be make in 1951 -- so Watch out . I do not like my 3 yr old hearing thing like `` girl talk too much '' and indian call `` redskin '' and the WORST be Tinkerbell wonder if she -lrb- ... -rrb- be too fat !! if you be careful about what you little one watch , skip this one for now . +999 Movies_TV POS 4 first let I say right out that I enjoy every single story on this set . the only reason I do not give this set a rating of 5 star be because of a technical issue play disk 5 on my computer system . the menu program lock up or when it do not lock up it crash to the desktop before you can make a menu selection . I discover that by uncheck the video hardware acceleration option in the powerdvd software I be able to enjoy the contents of disk 5 . this be the only time that I ever experience this kind of problem with a new disk . +665 Movies_TV POS 5 Peter Pan be a wonderful movie ! I have love it ever since I be a kid and even my kid love it too . when I hear about the special edition I tell my kid and we all get very excited , we love this dvd . my 12-year-old daughter especially love it , this be she favorite movie ! its a very family orented movie for everyone . this classic will never grow old in my heart ! +759 Movies_TV POS 5 I enjoy the first series , but this one be far and away better . I like the new doctor better , and the return of the cyberman be brilliantly do . and what can be say about how wonderful it be to see Sarah Jane Smith again ? there be not a episode in this series that I do not enjoy . +967 Movies_TV POS 5 I have be a Dr. who fan since live in England in the '70 . this new series be smash ! +801 Movies_TV POS 5 what can one say about a Disney movie ? I have yet to be disappoint . this be a perfect tell of the story about the boy who do not want to grow up and the adventure he have in Neverland with Wendy , Michael , and John . I would recommend it as great family entertainment . +582 Movies_TV POS 5 I can not add anything about the movie itself . the only reason to buy these special edition be for the extra feature . behind the scene stuff , how the movie come about , interview with actor who do the voice , ect . if you care about those thing , this be a great set . if you do not , there be no reason to upgrade . +224 Movies_TV POS 5 this be a great disney classic . the two disk set have some fun new feature . +53 Movies_TV POS 4 this be a great movie for kid , I love it when I be little . I still think it be great . what I do not understand be this whole racist thing . I be pretty sure that I be one of the only people who honestly do not think about racial issue at all when watch movie like this . my aunt be full-blooded Cherokee Indian and she love this movie . I guess I just do not think about thing the way many other do . I do not want to get into a discussion of all this p.c. propoganda . all I be say be , this movie be definitely a classic , and should be a part of any kid 's life . +568 Movies_TV POS 5 the dvd come on time and my two daughter have watch it numerous time since its arrival . thanks , Amazon -lrb- and Disney -rrb- ! +96 Movies_TV POS 4 true to Will Smith 's film persona , he be this generation 's action hero ! there be time that I wish that I could reach into the movie itself and strangle will on a few occasion during the first half hour - hour of the movie but I have to remind myself that this be how the character be write and that there be reason for everything in a hollywood script . I recommend the movie to young and old alike . it be a movie that also make you think what we government be really capable of and what the future have in store as well . enjoy !!!!!! +749 Movies_TV POS 5 ever since I go to see this movie in the theater , it have be my favorite movie . from begin to end , it be full of great action , a great story line , and a awesome cast . Jerry Bruckheimer and Tony Scott be a great match . +691 Movies_TV POS 4 I teach belly dance and just think it would make a change to add some bollywood move into my dance . this dvd have help I with that and also very easy to follow as a excercise dvd +245 Movies_TV POS 5 I never consider Disney 's `` Peter Pan '' to be one of they best animated classic up there with `` Bambi '' and `` Pinocchio , '' and it be while watch all of the extra that come with this platinum edition that I figure out why this be the case . much be make of Walt Disney 's affection for the J.M. Barrie 's story of the boy who would not grow up , and it dawn on I that I always identify more with Tom Swift , the boy inventor , than with Peter Pan . consequently I have develop a hypothesis that there be a choice to be make between Peter Pan and Tom Swift , similar to those we make between Superman and Batman , Elvis and the Beatles , Ginger and Mary Ann , etc. , as part of we pop culture consciousness . however , that be say , even those of we who be in a hurry to grow up can still enjoy Disney 's unique take on Peter Pan in this 1953 version . as most of we know from `` Finding Neverland '' or we own familiarity with the story of the story , `` Peter Pan '' be originally a stage production with actor be hoist on wire to fly , Tinker Bell be create by a flashlight , a actor play Nana and a young woman as Peter . Disney 's animated version have great fun make the character fly , turn Tinker Bell into a pantomime pixie who would become the icon of the Disney studio , and for the first time have the boy who never grow up be model and voice by a actual boy -lrb- Bobby Driscoll -rrb- . wendy be voice by Kathryn Beaumont , who have just do the title character Disney 's `` Alice in Wonderland , '' by vocally the show be steal by the great Hans Conreid as both Captain Hook and Mr. Darling , and Bill Thompson as the memorable Mr. Smee . one of the thing that prove the immortality of `` Peter Pan '' be how many different version of it work , each provide its own twist on the tale -lrb- my favorite be director P.J. Hogan 's 2003 film version , which I think be far and away the best version for adult -rrb- . here the emphasis be on Neverland as the greatest playground ever , where Captain Hook and Tinker Bell take turn steal the film . Peter Pan be a bit more of a imp here than elsewhere , but that be balance by the gravitas that Wendy bring to the proceedings . the only serious flaw here be the depiction of the Indians , although a consideration of the song `` what make the Red Man Red ? '' from the perspective of contemporary political correctness may still find the racism more silly than anything else . it go without say that these attitude be true to the time , and my preference have always be for point out these flaw rather than editing or ignore they . I might not consider this a top tier Disney film , but the dvd extra more than make up the difference , because once again we the studio treat its classic film the way all classic film should be treat on a 2-disc dvd set -lrb- which include a new digital restoration -rrb- . on Disc 1 there be a sneak peak for the upcome `` Tinker Bell '' computer animated movie , a opportunity to sing along with the movie 's song , and a storybook of `` Peter 's Playful Prank . '' then there be the audio commentary track be a compilation of interview clip `` host '' by Roy Disney . the commentary bear no relation to what be happen on screen so it really be just to be listen to and you will find that several of the bit appear in the featurette on Disc 2 . it be fascinating to listen to the likes of film critic\/historian Leonard Malting , animator Marc Davis -lrb- Tinker Bell -rrb- , Frank Thomas -lrb- Captain Hook -rrb- , and Ollie Johnston , along with actress Beaumont and Margaret Kerry -lrb- model for Tinker Bell -rrb- , and other . on Disc 2 you get to the Backstage Disney section , which include Walt Disney 's own explanation for `` why I make ` Peter Pan , ' '' a mini-documentary on `` the make of ` Peter Pan , ' '' and one of the highlight of the extra feature , `` the ` Peter Pan ' that almost be , '' that look at the evolution of the Disney version over the course of more than a decade . there be also a 1952 featurette on the film and Art Galleries consider hundred of gorgeous piece of original artwork do for the production . the Music & more section include the delete song `` the Pirate song '' and the lose song `` never land '' perform by Paige O'Hara , along with a music video of `` the second star to the Right '' perform by t-square . for Games & Activities there be a read-along version of the entire film , `` Camp Never Land : train to be a lose boy , '' `` Smee 's Sudoku Challenge , '' `` Tarrrget Practice , '' and `` Tink 's Fantasy Flight , '' all of which will appeal to the wee folk who be not familiar with play computer game on a actual computer . finally there be `` Peter Pan 's Virtual Flight , '' which I assume take we over a computer generate London prepare for the upcome `` Tinker Bell '' movie . +189 Movies_TV POS 5 about a year or so ago my nephew suggest I might want to check out the new Dr. who series . even though I have live in England year ago I have never get `` into '' the show . I love english mystery , sci-fus and humor so I decide to `` give it a go '' . to my surprise , I really like it . the writing be so original and the story be `` way out there '' . David Tenent be really good in the role of Dr. who . he can be very serious one minute , then very funny the next . Billy Piper be great too ! I be sorry to see she depart . I have watch the second series over and over again . David 's video diary be a really interesting insight to how a show be put together and all the hard work the actor put in to make this show great . I highly recommend this as a `` must have '' purchase ... +619 Movies_TV POS 5 this be the definitive version of the Peter Pan Story , I will assume that most reading this review have see this or other version . I be glad to say that the movie on the dvd be as I have see it in the movie theater . some thing that I be worry would be completely or partially edit out include the Indians , and the Pixie dust . although some could say that the song the Indians sing be less then politically correct and the pixie dust could be a substitute for drug abuse . however , everything be there , Disney seem to be learn that we want they as they first appear in the theater . but , if you take those thing out you do not have Peter Pan . one thing that be remove after the first release , by Walt Disney himself -lrb- reportedly -rrb- , be the story of how Peter assist Tinker Bell after she injure from bomb which Captain Hook intend for Peter . just watch the film , one moment she light be dim -lrb- similarly to what happen in the stage play -rrb- and in the next edit Tink be just fine . I be hop that they would have put this on the dvd , but , I have not find it . the stage play use poison instead of a bomb , so it be understandable that they do not put that in the Disney film , too similar to drug use . from what I have read , Peter sing a song and that bring Tink back to full health . any how , the extra feature on the dvd be great , other than the miss song mention earlier . there be some extra feature that seem strange , like the virtual fight over London , it be limited -lrb- to put it nicely -rrb- . could have be better , if you could choose which direction to go or fly up and down , otherwise any low budget video game be much better . overall , I be happy with this dvd edition and will wait for a Legacy edition -lrb- a dvd with the original and all the sequel -rrb- before I by another version , even hd , of Peter Pan . hopefully , Disney will put all the miss sens in newer version . +714 Movies_TV POS 4 my husband could barely contain himself when he find out that he much beloved Dr. who be come back to town on the sci-fus channel back in 2005 . I have to admit that I be a bit excited myself . here be a chance to get reaquaint with the a little british sci-fus export about this painfully british look guy -lrb- Tom Baker , of course -rrb- with this forever long scarf lope about among cheap `` hi-tech '' set with this much younger british chick . I have only see a couple of episode as a very young child and find that it merely creep I out -lrb- I believe it be Robots of Death -rrb- , but I remember enough to relate when people mention the show , or when I would hear the theme music . so , here I be at 33 years-old ready to wipe the Dr. who slate clean and begin thing all anew for my husband 's enjoyment , if anything . the new series have be alot of fun . hear the theme music again , even to a non-fan be nostalgic enough to bring tear to the eye . the effect and studio set look great , the story exciting and clever . both doctor have be fun loving and just chock-full of all thing a sci-fi fan could possibly want , and prove once again that one do not have to be a `` kill em all and let God sort em out '' kind of hero to save the day in Whoville . so , I give this series a nice , healthy rating . room for it to shoot for perfection , not that it have far to go . that be say ... after watch `` School Reunion '' with Elizabeth Sladen reprise she role as Sarah Jane Smith with faithful computer dog k-9 , it make I wonder about the whole Dr. who phenomenon in general . my husband fill I in on the fact that this show have be on for 26 consecutive year from 1963-1989 and that there have be more doctor before and after scarf dude . so , out of curiosity , I start dabble into classic Dr. who mostly from the 70 's be that this period more coinside with the little I remember about the show , and the fact that more dvd be available from this era . since then I have see the light . true , the effect and set be still pretty poor , and the creature costume rather embarrassing , the script a bit forced , but it do accomplish one very important aspect of Dr. who . it last out 26 year through the blood , sweat , and tear of those man and woman in front and behind the camera . there be no computer artist to type in a program to bring all those monster closer to life . many script be write up in a week 's time or less . the film be fast and furious , often require the actor to get it right the first time , because studio time be a precious and expensive commodity . all this to fill up a half hour every Saturday for British kid , and somehow , it still become a worldwide obsession . okay , enough of the soap-box talk and on to personal opinion of these new doctor . now , mind you , I like these guy , just as I mention before , and if these be the absolute first to play the role , it would be a no-brainer to say that they be dead-on . but they be not the absolute first and in some way there be a lot to be desire . they do a great job take on bit and piece of the doctor they generate from , but I find Eccleston 's heavy northern accent rather jolting . he remind I of drax from the Armaggedan factor episode from 1978 with that accent , and I would rather not be remind of Drax manifest in any doctor regeneration ! and as for little David Tennant , well , I refer to he as a little , oily rat in another review , but only because I have only see he in he role in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and he do such a great job as a little , oily rat man -lrb- other than wormtail , of course -rrb- ! he be also rather too young look to play this 900 year-old Timelord . at he age he have to be careful not to come off a some arrogant , know-it-all brat . and as for companion Rose and all she baggage -lrb- I mean ` family ' -rrb- , I do not recall Tom Baker 's doctor ever care whether he have a companion or not . he most certainly never beg they to come along , they be sort of always dump on he to haul around . these be personal opinion , of course , and if northern british accent and kid look timelord be you cup of tea , hey , this new series be perfection already . but if you can not help but long for the bohemian dress , scarf wearin ' , alien charm of Tom Baker lope about those cheap , build from scratch set , ad-libbing Oscar Wilde style in he smooth baratone voice , then slap 4 star on this series and remember to be eternally grateful that it bring you back to try and true , bare knuckle who . +381 Movies_TV POS 4 keep the child entertain a good twist on the original story . +730 Movies_TV NEU 3 Cinderella III be surprisingly okay . I would say I would watch it again and I be not upset about purchase it . I just need to remember it be a `` straight to dvd '' movie . if you can get past the bad casting they do for the voice of the character , except for jaq and Gus , and the cheaper quality in animation , then this movie be not all bad . the story line be okay , but what I do hate be that they erase the original 's end . in the original movie Cinderella get lock in she room , the mouse free she , and after that we all know what happen . in this movie , it pick up the story from that point . every thing that happen after the mouse free Cinderella from she room be now what really happen because the fairy Godmother decide that this end be better . she decide to erase 1 year of Cinderella 's and the Prince 's marriage , the glass slipper fitting only Cinderella , and everything else that we see in the first movie 's end . that be what I do not like . the fairy godmother could have just wave she wand and take everyone back to the time and place before Anastasia get she hand on the magic wand , but she do not . this , and the terrible song and voice , be why I give this movie only 3 star . Disney could of try a little harder to get the right voice for the character . of course they can not get the original actor , but I be sure there be closer match out there to the original voice than what they have get go on in this movie . -lrb- with the exception of the mouse . they be pretty close to the original voice . -rrb- the step sister voice and fairy godmother voice be extremely horrible . what I do like about this movie , be that you get a bigger sense of the love that we 2 main character share , and know that it be more than just a crush . you see both Cinderella and the Prince fight for they love , instead of just fall in love because a fairy godmother help Cinderella get to the ball . so would I recommend someone add this to they collection , in my case I be glad I have it , but if what I mention above disturb you , then maybe you should just rent it first if you be still curious . +405 Movies_TV NEG 1 it take forever to receive & they send Cinderella , I obviously order Peter Pan - they never respond to my email or fix the issue - horrible service , if you can even call it that ! +74 Movies_TV POS 5 all in all a pretty good effort from David Tennant and Billie Piper . the season get off with a mediocre effort , New Earth . Kind of annoy how the doctor treat the cat nurse after all they have do to cure humanity of disease . they have to create guinea pig to experiment they procedure on . I think I would not like this doctor at all . but then a funny thing happen on the way to the finale . the story keep get better and better ! -lrb- up to a point , which you will see . -rrb- School Reunion be just that , bring back two old favorite . after see School Reunion , you will never look at Sarah Jane Smith 's story with Tom Baker 's Doctor the same again . the impossible Planet\/Satan pit sequel be perhaps the strongest effort , contain aspect of the Omen and Alien . then come a slight drop-off in story quality . love and monster can claim to be the strangest , most unusual Doctor who story ever see , not good , but a decent story . follow the Satan pit do not help it in term of excitement . fear she be a pretty weak story with a couple nice moment , such as the doctor light the Olympic torch at the end . just when I think the season hit the skid , along come the tremendous finale , Army of Ghosts\/Doomsday . believe I , this story be fantastic and leave a lasting effect on the viewer . you can feel the Doctor 's sadness at apparently lose Rose forever . it be also nice to see Mickey back again , not the same cowardly Mickey whom the doctor refer to as Mickey the idiot , but a brave freedom-fighting Mickey . do not let a couple weak story spoil the whole season . this be a season that build towards a exciting and heart-wrenching climax . +328 Movies_TV POS 5 `` Peter Pan '' still retain its charm , wit and heart express in its animation , which have be clean up quite a bit , while faithfully follow Barbie 's book . it be probably the film that spawn the adventurous 1991 `` hook , '' but this animated feature be far better than `` Hook . '' `` Peter Pan '' be when two english parent leave for a party , leave behind the nursemaid dog Nana and they three child , wendy , Michael , and John behind . not long after they parent have leave , Peter Pan and he tiny accomplice Tinker Bell crash in , look for Peter 's shadow , spawn the entertaining , funny , and charming result , lead to a fluffernutter happy end . what this be one of Disney 's latter classic that remain one of my favorite Disney classic , among the handsomely make `` sleep beauty '' that win you over with its captivating animation and the lush classical music , while `` Bambi '' win you over with heart and good nature . but `` Peter Pan '' win you over with heart , humor and just the right amount of magic . the special edition VHS and dvd come with a free movie ticket to see the sequel `` return to Neverland '' and it come fully restore to its original brilliance , which make it all the more enjoyable to see and hear this delightful Disney feature . Perfect for anyone look for 77 minute to spare . +727 Movies_TV POS 5 this be one of the best Walt Disney 's Movies ever make , the forteenth animated feature , in chronological line order , for this Film Company . the tale on this platinum dvd about `` Peter Pan , '' be a magical story of a boy in search of he miss silhouette , that while look for he shadow visit London , meet the child of the Darling Family and bring all of they back with he to never land , where this fable finally unfold splendidly . `` Peter Pan , '' a parable about a boy who never desire to grow up , it be once again be colorfully present here for the third time , maybe even for one last time , on dvd by Walt Disney . it be of course a delightfully write script , that over all keep marvelouslly well with the pace of the original fable by James M. Barrie 's book story . and regardless of what purist text reviewer may like to point out , it be nevertheless my humble impression that as offer here , as a adaptation write by Disney for a `` CARTOON MOVIE TALE , '' do see to work wonderfully fine for this theatrical reincarnation of it be original `` Peter Pan '' book 's legend . like for instance , it still retain and show the desire of all young kid for longebity , take fantasy journey & wish to never grow up . add to this mix the `` Prixie Fairy Tinkerbell , '' then include a mischievously naughty ` Captain Hook , ' along with a quantity of ` pirate , ' some bunch of crazy warier ` Indians , ' as well as finally ` the Magic Ability to fly , ' and you get here on film a sophisticated , yet complicate story produce by Walt Disney , that children of all age and background would enjoy forever , for it speak to `` THEIR IMAGINATION FROM THEIR heart . '' `` Peter Pan '' be theatrically release for the silver screen , for the first time in 1953 , I see it very young with my parent , plus little sister , at one of my home town two movie theater , and feel instantly in love with `` Peter Pan 's Story . '' Disney have release this film twice before on dvd , but only be first originaly fully `` restore and remaster '' for ` Picture & Sound Above and Behond the Film Original Brilliance ' for they second release , the right now very hard to get one disk dvd ~ `` PETER PAN SPECIAL EDITION . '' ~ therefore , be sure that this new to be re-issue , `` PETER PAN '' once again fully `` remaster '' in a two disk ` PLATINUM EDITION , ' would become one of the best buy next spring for all of those Disney `` PLATINUM SPECIAL EDITION COLLECTORS . '' I would certainly buy it next March 2007 , even whem be still -lrb- one of the few lucky owner of the other `` PETER PAN SPECIAL EDITION , '' -rrb- which do also happen to come with some insteresting documentary and extra feature , ~ dvd which still do love watch every second and every time I play it . imagine then , all the supplementary extra that this new platinum edition would have in order to exceed the previous dvd feature . beside once again be `` fully Remastered & Restored for Picture & Sound , '' just to simply beat that now out of print `` Peter Pan special edition . '' for sure it most be a fantastic third time around `` PLATINUM . '' because `` PETER PAN '' be a wonderfull story about ` grow up , ' then I would like to recomend that all family consider buy , once it do again become available at retail store next March 2007 , in order to show they children . since `` Peter Pan '' be every ` Boys dream ' and every little ` girl Fantasy , all at once come true , in they still sweet inocent and tender imagination . also since we all know well that in we soul we still do remain forever ` children at Heart , ' would be fun for we to watch and own it too as grow up adult . we have wait a long time for Walt Disney to re-release `` PETER PAN , '' and beside all this wait , there be out there new generation of kid everywhere live , who have never see this fable on dvd ; whom still may be eagerly await to see the delight of discover , and learn like we once do from the lesson teach by this `` PETER PAN STORY . '' now like to end this review , intend to share with all my previous experience about the other dvd 's release of this Motion Picture , as well as to contribute with some of my childhood\/adult feeling about `` Disney 's Peter Pan Story , '' by now honorably `` thank the studio , '' which give we in film : `` all our childhood dreams\/fantasies in technicolor . '' MY BEST wish to you all for a peacefull holiday season and a happy new 2007 , forever and evermore in HEAVEN & EARTH . +868 Movies_TV POS 4 do not expect much from a Will Smith movie for some reason , always think of he as a bit of a lightweight , so maybe that be why I be amaze at how good , tight , exciting , and disturb this movie turn out to be , and Will 's performance be superb . +755 Movies_TV POS 4 enemy of the state be a fun exciting great movie to watch . the acting be great , the plot be great and the movie as a whole be well think and intelligent . I recommend anyone who want to see a exceptional movie with a lot of action to buy enemy of the state . +15 Movies_TV POS 5 Peter Pan be one of the Ultimate Disney classic . the restoration make it even more enjoyable this time around . this be the perfect keepsake ... my child will love grow up watch this ! +312 Movies_TV POS 5 this movie be so great , it be hard to put into word ... the action move so fast , and the camera just as fast ... I nominate this for the Oscar for best film editing ! this movie submerge you into the action , Will Smith give a very strong performance , as do the know-it-all character play by Gene Hackman I highly recommend this film to anyone seek thrill ! Jason Lee also give a strong stint as the guy who discover the film of the assassination . +761 Movies_TV NEU 3 I be not go to go into too much detail , but this second season be not nearly as good as the first one . David Tennant play a great doctor who , but about all of the story in this season be set on Earth . forward in time , backwards in time , current time in a alternate universe , but on Earth . I do not know if this be because they blow they budget on the first season , but most of the episode be pretty sappy -lrb- especially the later episode -rrb- . since most of the episode focus on Rose , they have a scrappy Doo quality to they that make they all a bit silly . I really want to enjoy this series , and I 'll tune in for season three , but if it keep go its current direction , it will soon be air as some kind of after school special call `` Rose who ? '' . +66 Movies_TV POS 5 I own the special edition , but Im glad that they be finally release this great movie for all those who miss it when it be available last time . this version be probably the best ever release and the price be pretty reasonable . the special edition be only 1 disk and cost a bit more . Hopefully Pinnochio will be come soon to platinum . I have the limited edition and it be a pretty bad transfer -lrb- look like straight from VHS with no clean up -rrb- . however , im holding on to it incase they censor the platinum version . I think this re-release of PeterPan be a signal that Disney be see the light . they be lose alot of revenue to chinese bootleg be sell on -lrb- ... -rrb- , and god know -lrb- ... -rrb- doesnt give a crap about enforcement . +576 Movies_TV POS 5 I be blow away by `` season 2 '' - there be not one episode that I feel be weak or stray from character . I enjoy the interaction between the doctor and Rose , especially the growth as they become more familar with each other . definately a worthwhile purchase on my part . +822 Movies_TV POS 5 I grow up ... well okay ... some folk say I never will ... watch this movie . it be a fun treatment and do back when animation be hand draw . classic story and still entertain all these year later . +970 Movies_TV POS 4 you people who complain about jealousy and malice ! most character in the original novel - be - jealous and mean , but they have redeeming quality . as a movie , this do disappoint I , but only the picture . none of the character look as I imagine they except John and Michael . the costume be off . Disney always do that . Pleaaase read the book , people ! it be so wonderful . and see the live REMAKE that just come OUT , IT 's AWESOME ! +171 Movies_TV POS 4 Will Smith be Robert Clayton Dean , a young yet prominent labor attorney in the dc area who suddenly find he well order life go to hell . unknown to he , he be accidentally receive a video disc implicate the Deputy Director of Operations of the NSA -lrb- Jon Voight -rrb- in the suspicious death of a influential senator - a disc pass to he moment before its owner 's untimely death . unable to locate the disc , the wicked dep decide to take Dean 's life to piece - find much in Smith 's character that be not as order as it appear . in fact , Dean 's adventure as a labor lawyer frequently have he run up against organize crime boss , include one play by Tom Sizemore . worse , to get he information , Smith rely on a shadowy figure name Brill , a man he be never meet . instead , he maintain contact with Brill through a former lover -lrb- Lisa Bonet -rrb- . draw a line between Smith and Bonet use they ban account , the NSA wreck he personal life and implicate he in embezzlement . on the run from the super-secret NSA with its satellite and its surveillance gear , with nowhere to turn , Dean 's only hope be to find the mysterious Brill himself , learn the secret drive he pursuer and hope to fund some way to put he life back together . not a lot in `` enemy '' make sense , but it be fast and , with Will Smith , often funny . he be get a flip sense of humor that save the movie that otherwise have few surprise . Gene Hackman enter the scene as the shadowy Brill running , and he never stop . Brill be essentially paranoia incarnate - though by the time we have meet he , we know enough about the Government 's surveillance method to empathize with he fear . Jon Voight play the latest in a long line of heavy -lrb- he be the evil lawyer in `` Rainmaker '' -rrb- but otherwise never connect as a villain . but the real star of the flick be the direction , which be fast and coherent at the same time . otherwise , the flick pay lip service to Hollywood 's need for a apparent message -lrb- beware nig government 's intrusion on you privacy -rrb- without make the movie deep enough for you to care . Watch it for the fun . +706 Movies_TV POS 5 I see this movie 7 time a i think it be awesome . its my fav . movie . my recomendation be . . get it now !!!!! +374 Movies_TV POS 5 this be watch over and over again by the girl ! it be fun for Grandma 's to watch with they also , as we remember the first Cinderella movie , do not we ? +551 Movies_TV POS 5 this be a great addition to we Disney movie collection . the kid watch it three time the day we receive it , and several time since . a must have for any Disney Princess fan . +84 Movies_TV POS 5 this movie be for anyone who like a action\/thriller movie . this movie be full of suspence and suprise ! this movie make you think because this could accually happen . buy this movie , you wo not REGRET IT ! +871 Movies_TV POS 5 very very very good ! this series have I on the edge of my seat half of the time , and laugh my head off the rest of the time . great drama , and british humor . +600 Movies_TV POS 5 the second series of Doctor who continue to be amazingly well write . the act and direction be credible , make I almost believe that what be happen on the screen be true . it be wrenching at the end and leave you want more . as for the special effect and extra they be fun to watch and informative , if you be in to that type of thing . +764 Movies_TV NEU 3 this be a enchanting story , and I would give it 5 star if it be not for a bit of unfortunate sterotyping of american Indians . in particular , a song sing by the indian character -lrb- `` what make The Red Man Red ? '' -rrb- be intend to be funny , but now it just come across as embarrassing . I fully realize this sort of thing be par for the course in Hollywood at the time . but it be still unfortunate that I now have to explain to my kid that it be really not ok in we family to use skin color as the punch line to a joke . +803 Movies_TV POS 5 it be a funny sequal to fun classic it be very good and well do +844 Movies_TV POS 5 just receive this by mail yesterday . my daughter and I grab popcorn and sit side by side to watch it . love we moment together with she Disney movie . +282 Movies_TV NEU 3 Peter Pan and old time classic ... I see this movie with my wife and grand child and one of the children name be wendy which make the movie very special . Love captain hook and the crocodile ... the graphic we have today spoil a person and the graphic in this movie be disappointing , but the story line remain great ... the game be ... so , so ... overall slightly above average satisfaction . +991 Movies_TV POS 4 this be a really good sequel . I buy it because I hear it be go back into the Disney vault . the character be not wooden . at least the Prince have something to do this time . Cinderella and she animal friend use they ingenuity to set thing back right . the stepmother and stepsister be they deliciously evil self . this film be almost as good as the original . it be a fun film and thoroughly enjoyable . so , go ahead a enjoy it . +348 Movies_TV POS 5 this be a excellent thriller\/drama movie with a very relevant plot for today society . it may have be far fetch when it be make but it be more of a blue print for today reality . the audio and video transfer be excellent and definitely rate a tier 1 presence for Blu-Ray . +653 Movies_TV POS 5 this be a very exciting movie . there be not a single bad performance in the movie . +897 Movies_TV POS 4 as a fan of the original series - especially the golden age of Tom Baker -lrb- when he be still take the show seriously -rrb- - I have not be disappoint with the new `` who . '' from the wonderfully rework title sequence and theme tune -lrb- so much better than the tinny version that introduce the show from late Baker onward -rrb- the new series maintain much of the charm of the original without the wobbly set . I love Christopher Ecclestone 's portrayal of the Doctor , so await this second season with a little trepidation . although I find David Tennant 's Doctor a little more superficial , he do a creditable job nevertheless . but why oh why be BBC dvd SOOOOOO expensive ? sure , they be generally a quality product , but that do not justify charge two to three time as much as for a equivalent US series . sorry BBC - until you price be competitive , I 'll be rent this and future who , not buy they . +855 Movies_TV POS 5 just watch this again after over six year since my last viewing . this film be a bit ahead of its time , since today we society have a plethora of the personal media and wireless device we all use daily ; today the stage be better set for the paranoid to be right once in a while inasmuch as we have so many more communication gadget . Smith be good , the action better than average , Hackman be excellent , and the spy-van guy be fun -lrb- green , Jack Black , Jamie Kennedy , etc. , -- not approach the x-file ' crew , but still a entertaining garland -rrb- . this movie may have its flaw , but for most it be a good show with lot of thrill and it will not leave you disapoint on a movie night . +268 Movies_TV POS 5 this be one of the only movie heavily portray computer and technology that do not make I gag and cough . sure there be a few flaw here and liberty take there , but overall , it be awesome and frighteningly realistic -- almost too savvy for a general-audience movie . a lot go into this movie and it show . as for the guy who be rag on it and could not believe that kind of monitoring could be go on , all I can say be ignorance be bliss . maybe he have not hear about Echelon . +518 Movies_TV POS 5 my granddaughter age 4.5 have watch this movie daily since we get it . she like it better than the first one . +989 Movies_TV POS 5 incredible movie , great action , fine acting , Hackman at he be +517 Movies_TV POS 4 the movie 's excellent , except for occasional poor composition in the camerawork . once the action start , though , you be too grip by the plot to notice . the video quality be ok , but the disc have the same bug as `` Tron '' -- whenever there be text on the screen , a spurious `` multiple camera angle available '' icon appear . distract and annoy ; obviously Disney have not work out how to author a dvd properly yet . +300 Movies_TV POS 5 this be one film which use modern technology in one of the most useful way . the main draw of the film other than the excellent , all-star cast -lrb- will Smith , Gene Hackman , Jon Voight , Gabriel Byrne . . -rrb- be the clever use of editing and camera technology to draw suspense and awe to a viewer . Smith 's paranoid performance be the best of he career -lrb- hate he in id4 and mib -rrb- and Gene Hackman -lrb- good guy finally -rrb- basically reprise he character from the conversation in he best performance of all he seemingly endless action-thriller . I think this be Jerry Bruckheimer 's best film yet . . intelligent , witty , suspenseful , well-acted , well-directed , polished . +747 Movies_TV NEG 2 sorry , Peter , but I grow up . actually , it be more than that . wendy be not exactly a feminist , after all , and the Indians be not in any sense native Americans . the joke about they be not the sort that would be acceptable today . and it be too late for the dream of a boy who never grow up . we have hear about `` the Peter Pan syndrome , '' and I even marry one . that be Husband Number three , actually . there be also the fact that it be very much a boy ' story , and for more reason than the unrealistic depiction of female : wendy , Tinkerbell and Tiger Lily . even as a child , I do not see the point to the fake combat against the Indians and the pirate . and I consider Peter impossibly arrogant ; I still do . I would not recommend this to you child and grandchild , unless you be prepare to do a good bit of explain the difference between 1953 and 2012 . +476 Movies_TV POS 5 I admit to not really like Chris Eccleston 's Doctor . maybe it be because he look like a intergalactic Al Bundy or even a skinhead Tom Baker . anyhow , that be all past , and we now have a actor who have outrank the legendary Tom Baker as favorite doctor . David Tennant be the best thing to come to DOCTOR who in a long time . he be more believable than he predecessor , and he portrayal of we favorite Time Lord be the best I have see in quite some time . Series 2 have preserve the spirit of classic dw while take a bold step into the future -lrb- no pun intend -rrb- , and story arc like ` rise of the Cybermen ' \/ ` age of Steel ' and the season finale will not disappoint . ` the idiot 's Lantern ' could have be from season 24-26 . ` School Reunion ' and ` Tooth and Claw ' be also excellent . simply put , there be not one single story I do not like . my highest recommendation , need to be 10 star ! +288 Movies_TV POS 5 definately worth the price . one of Disney 's best movie , but the lack of musical scene hurt the almost perfect picture . +781 Movies_TV POS 4 give as a gift-no complaint . packaging be fine for a use dvd and they watch it with no problem . both disc be inside . +197 Movies_TV POS 5 this be one of my favorite when I be grow up . I ; m excite that it be now out on dvd . +731 Movies_TV POS 5 I be a long time Doctor who fan , have grow up with Tom Baker . needless to say that I be quite wary when BBC announce the new Doctor who series . like most of the new Doctor who fan , I be blow away by the first new doctor and be quite distraught at the end of the first season to see he leave . how can the writer do that to a new series struggle to gain a foothold in the U.S. ? well , within the first two episode of the second season I barely remember the first doctor ... David Tennant be that good . like a small boy again , I find myself anxiously wait for the next episode to air on Friday night . doctor who be better than ever . beyond the vastly improve special effect , the writing be more mature and clever , and the relationship between the character be deeper and more meaningful , all the while the episode tend to retain the playfulness of the Tom Baker year while inject with a bit of scariness to keep we all on the edge of we seat . I can not wait until the third season ! -lrb- even though I 'll miss Rose , I be not worry anymore . the writer and cast director have prove themselves already . -rrb- +955 Movies_TV NEG 1 my wife and I be shock to rewatch this recently . we could not believe how generation now have feed this racist , sexist garbage to they child . kill the savage Indians , save the helpless , petty girl be just a couple of the fine lesson herein . show this to you kid and do not be surprise how they grow to be close mind racist unable to treat woman with respect . +367 Movies_TV POS 5 I receive it in no time and it be in perfect condition . everything be like the post say it would be . +259 Movies_TV POS 5 the second season of the `` Doctor who '' revival bring with it a new doctor -lrb- David Tennant -rrb- , a return companion -lrb- Billie Piper -rrb- , old friend , new enemy and a couple of old one as well . this dvd set cover all of season two and include the Children in Need special which cover event immediately follow the ninth doctor 's regeneration into the tenth . key story in this second season include `` the Girl in the fireplace , '' the quirky `` Love and Monsters , '' and the wonderfully excessive season finale , `` Army of Ghosts\/Doomsday . '' tennant slide into the role of the doctor seamlessly and appear to really be enjoy himself as he portray he childhood idol . while Eccleston 's doctor be fun , he have a very dark side lurk just beneath the surface . the dark side still live in Tennant , but he humorous and , quite frankly , cocky attitude suppress it for most of the episode in this season . I also see part of Peter Davison and Tom Baker 's portrayal of the doctor present in Tennant 's performance . Tennant 's Doctor have a very appealing demeanor and it be easy to get lose in he vision of the Timelord . Billie Piper reprise she role as Rose , the headstrong , curious companion of the doctor . as expect , hint of a romance be drop throughout the season , and take a humorous turn with the return of Sarah Jane Smith -lrb- the excellent Elisabeth Sladen -rrb- in `` School Reunion . '' Mickey , Jackie Tyler and Rose 's father , Peter , also return and take on bigger role this time around . Old enemy revisit include the always reliable Daleks and a revisioning of the Cybermen . although these new Cybermen be interesting , I miss the old version of the Doctor 's gold-resistant enemy . Cassandra , a new enemy in the new series , also make a return in a interesting story that touch on medical ethic . New enemy include include a extra-terrestrial werewolf in `` Tooth and Claw '' and maybe even the Devil himself in `` the Satan pit . '' in `` the Girl in the fireplace , '' we be introduce to some sinisterly silent clockwork android . `` fear she '' give we a non-enemy in a truly touching story about a child who miss its family . overall , the new enemy be good , especially the werewolf in a legitimately suspenseful tale . special feature include in this set include video diary from Tennant and Piper , as well as run commentary on each episode . once again , we get to look a bit deeper into the production of the show in the `` Doctor who Confidential '' segment . highlight include the `` School Reunion '' Confidential which catch old fan up with Sladen and K-9 , and the `` Girl in the fireplace '' confidential that include a look at the read through of the story . overall , this season of `` Doctor who '' be a excellent addition to the wonderful catalogue of the Doctor 's many adventure . while Peter Davison will always be my favorite , David Tennant 's Doctor will struggle for second place with Patrick Troughton 's doctor until the end of time . if you be not familiar with the old series , have no worry . this set can be watch with no previous knowledge of the original . it might be helpful to watch season one in order to pick up on a few thing but that , too , be not necessary . if you be a fan of intelligent , quirky and sometimes hilarious science fiction , the second season of `` Doctor who '' be just what you need . I highly recommend this set . +355 Movies_TV POS 4 like some of the reviewer below , I agree that the depiction of the native character in this film be pretty off-the-charts insulting -lrb- note that Tiger Lily , the only native character with any kind of actual integration into the plot , be depict as have a much lighter skin tone and be draw in a soft , delicate manner utterly oppose by the gross characterization of the other native design , clearly show that the artist know full well what they be do -rrb- . I too , will not show this to my daughter until she be old enough to understand the historical context of the film . and even though this be one of my personal Disney animated favorite , I do agree that Disney might owe native people a apology -lrb- although the studio be hardly alone in this respect -rrb- , but I do not agree that the film should be edit . Film , like all art , be a window into we past that should never be alter for the sake of contemporary technical or societal notion . it be only in examine and acknowledge these situation that we can track the change -lrb- hopefully for the better -rrb- that society have achieve . +55 Movies_TV POS 5 be a parent who be a fan of the original Dr. who I be look forward to introduce my kid -lrb- 10 and over -rrb- to this series . everyone love it ! it be clever , fast-paced , thought-provoking , funny and emotional ; a great talking point . we love the first series with Christopher Ecclestone but this one with David Tennant have reach new height . some of the episode can be scary so probably not for younger kid but it be all do in such a smart and intelligent way . british native will spot some clever reference that have I chuckle . highly recommend ! +772 Movies_TV NEG 2 this movie remind I of why I do not watch slick , big budget , big star hollywood movie . slick be the operative word here . far too slick . the camera work be disractingly slick . there be far too many convenient coincidence to make it believable . as the movie go on , it steadily diverge more and more from reality . if all of these high tech spy tool exist -lrb- call I naive , but I doubt it -rrb- I doubt they would all have be bring to bear to such a degree on one hapless guy . the NSA geek sure have hard time catch Smith . that be because , despite all they whiz-bang gizmo , they be mostly a bunch of incompetent oaf . lot of gratuitous chase be throw in to wow the audiance . it be hard to get up the mental stamen to follow the plot , since I do not really care about the fate of the good guy . this just be not how you pace a movie to artfully develop real suspense . it be quite a disappointment for I . +744 Movies_TV POS 5 fantastic dvd . it bring back all the thrill of the original series . re-run on tv edit out so much and with this video it be all there again . I especially like the Video Diaries . I feel I be there with they . Bravo ! +70 Movies_TV POS 4 this Disney Classic film be always one of my favorite , and continue to entertain more and more , as my two-year-old son now love to watch Captain Hook and the pirate . he also love to pretend he be fly just like pan and the kid . +203 Movies_TV POS 5 this movie be absolutely one of the best Disney movie ! I love this movie so much I use to tell everyone my name be wendy ! a few year back when this come to dvd I be not aware of it and I do not buy it until a few year later on Amazon.com in the new and used part ! when you order through that you have to be careful with whom you choose to deal with because when I purchase the movie I receive a bootleg version . it look normal until I open the case and it be a fake because of the material use on the dvd . I compair the dvd with my other Disney dvd 's and it be not the same . I spend over $ 25 on a copy ! that really make I mad . if you order from here be aware ! there be so many liar out there ! I learn my lesson to ask question if you have any and if they seem suspicious do not buy from they . thanks I hope I help you ! but truly this be a wonderful movie for all age ! +666 Movies_TV POS 5 I have enjoy all of the Doctor who series . for those like myself who do not get this series on T.V. , this be just great , also no commercial or wait for the next episode . this be just super to have they on dvd . I do like this Dr. who and will miss he when he leave the series . also Billie Piper do a great job play Rose .

I be extremely disappointed . the voice of Cinderella be extremely similar to the original , but the singing be no where near the same talent . only two blue bird and Jacque and Gus gus appear -lrb- forget about any of the other character they never appear -rrb- , and Anestasia get a conscious ? be you kid I ? my child love it , but actually prefer the original -lrb- they have good taste . -rrb- I should have rent it first to decide if it be worth pay over $ 20.00 . in this case absolutely not . find a boot leg . +117 Movies_TV POS 4 if you be a fan of the movie ` the conversation ' then you will love this for novelty value if nothing else . i havent see much with will smith and i be worry this be go to be somekind of man in black thing . it be in fact , very serious though . good act all around , the list of actor be ridicolous : will smith , gene hackman , john voight , seth green , jack black , jamie kennedy , lisa bonet , scott caan , jason robard , jason lee , there more . i recoginz 2 guy from the soprano -lrb- dont know they name -rrb- , one of which be also in goodfella . the story be full of action . its certainly silly at time , the technology use in this wire-tapping drama be just ridicolous but its a lot of fun . gene hackman im convince now be the best actor of all time . the conversation be my favorite movie ever and one which i believe be also highly underrated . the conversation revolve around gene hackman character who be a professional -lrb- also legal and legit -rrb- wire tapper . he play the same role in this movie , and there be other conversation parallel : at one point a file photo of hackman character be show , and immediately i recognize it as a photo from the conversation . he work in a similar area : a unerground\/basement , cage in fortress\/shop . if anything this character be harry caul -lrb- hackman in the conversation -rrb- time 10 : he be even more paranoid as show during smith first exchange with he , he work through about 10 other people and 10 level , never get he hand dirty . but will smith get into such a bunch of trouble that you start to wonder how can possibly bail he out ... hackman of course . its also interesting how hackman isnt even introduce until almost half way thru the movie . then only for a few minute ; he disappear again . then he finally return to really kick ... i think vin diesel be cool , i love fast and the furious and xxx and to I gene hackman be just as much of a untouchable badass , just in a much different -lrb- and probably less hip -rrb- way . tony scott direct this , he be a excellent director know for great film like true romance . funny , there be a similar situation with a similar outcome -lrb- shoot out where everyone die except the main character , will smith in this case -rrb- in this movie . if you love the conversation as i do , you wish there be more to see . this be as close as you go to get and its quite impressive . a huge cast of star , great acting , and fun script and exciting , visual directing . near perfect . +372 Movies_TV POS 5 just watch this for the first time in year and , now on bd , it have jolt my memory on why this have be one of my favorite movie . the Blue-Ray transfer be stunning , both video and audio quality make I take notice and the casting be superb combine with tight direction , fast and well pace , and a fun plot . Gene Hackman , Will Smith and John Voight play they role well -lrb- as always -rrb- and without stereotype . everyone from Bonet , Black , Milicevic , King , Wilson , Dean , Pepper , Busey , Cann , Byrne , LeGros and the rest of this ensemble of great actor capture they role , small or large , with realism and conviction . give this a try if you like well paced action do well . +770 Movies_TV POS 5 my daughter be not a big tv person but the princess movie be rapidly become a favorite +271 Movies_TV POS 5 what can I say that have not be say about this wonderful series . grow up in the late 70 's and 80 's some of my best memory be watch this show on PBS . I love all the crazy alien and cheesy effect and most of all the awesome theme song . now the doctor be back and the show be better than ever . I like CE 's doctor but DT 's be amazing and he hit the character right on the head . the effect be still a bit cheesy but that what make the show timeless and great . the write on the show be some of the best in tv history and the support cast be wonderful as well . I can not wait for season 3 ! best episode in my opinion be the Girl in the Fireplace . +212 Movies_TV POS 4 the animation be as good as any classic Disney . but the story be outdate . this movie be quite tell of its time . some folk who say they love it scare I about as much as the old soviet propaganda I grow up with . it be also `` wholesome '' back then . Bobby Driscoll as Peter Pan perfectly capture the tragedy of a child who have to mature and take on adult responsibility too soon . when in the middle of the final fight with Hook Wendy implore he to fly and he respond that he can not because he `` give he word '' it be just heartbreaking . those of we who grow up in the 70 be just lucky to have that burden lift and have normal prolonged childhood . and while Peter Pan be too adult , Hook in this version seem rather childish . like the most spoil kid you can imagine , Hook be a mean-spirited bully who constantly whine and throw tantrum . the worst punishment for he be the public humiliation of be call a codfish . he even escape the crocodile in the end . Smee be the ultimate Disney sidekick , a stutter moron who can not get anything right , a subservient character bully by all the other pirate . wendy be so proper for the 50s and so out of date today . a girl who know she place and just talk too much to avoid think about that . she can deal with other girl and play a mother to the boy but she know it be a man 's world . what make the red man red ? that be how it be , and that view be definitely outdate as well , but you can not cut a essential part of the movie out . the crocodile be the most wonderful thing in this movie , most adorable . and he swim to a great song too . overall , this be a classic movie worth see , but I would hesitate to show it to small kid . I think pg would be a more appropriate rating , indicate that significant portion of it would require explain to today 's child . but of course it would not occur to the Disney corporation to do a decent thing . or perhaps they really want we to go back to the 50 . some bonus feature on the dvd be quite interesting , feature Disney archive . the read-along story `` Peter 's Playful Prank '' be just horrible . there be so many thing wrong with that story ... just do not go there . +567 Movies_TV POS 5 this movie spark a love for `` Tink '' that my 3 year old be very eager to tell everyone about ! it be a must-have . +679 Movies_TV POS 5 Grand kid love it ! as always , Amazon ROCKS ! free ! shipping , excellent quality ! and BEST price ! it just do not get any better than Amazon ! +856 Movies_TV POS 5 Disney 's Peter Pan require no introduction . however , the `` special edition '' include several asian language in addition to English , but each time you put the dvd in , you have to go to the setting menu and turn off the subtitle if you do not want they to come on automatically . if you be a english speaker and want the regular north american edition , buy the `` limited issue '' . +797 Movies_TV POS 4 Peter Pan have all the element of the classic animated feature : gorgeous artwork , great characterization , wonderful music and a never-ending devotion to top quality . one area where this film come up a bit short however , be in heart - or as Walt himself put it , they never find the warmth . I have to agree with he and put that down as the main reason I keep the film at arm length . the story feel episodic in nature and there be little in the way of character growth . this be a similar problem that cause audience ambivalence to ALICE in WONDERLAND , the studio feature just prior to Peter Pan . now , the folk at Disney have give we yet another release of the film . this third time around we be treat to a 2-disc platinum edition - and it be also the best one yet . the disc include plenty of new activity and extra material in addition to a fascinating audio commentary host by Roy Disney and include many of the original animator , performer and content expert . this be the same audio commentary that be on the `` special edition '' release back in 2002 . what really separate this release from the other be the amazing restoration . frame by frame look like it be do today , the color crisp and vibrant ... the dark be dark and the light be light . it be truly a joy to see this -lrb- and other in the platinum series -rrb- look better than they probably ever do . the sound be not too shabby either , work to utilize you home theater system , although they stray from some of the original sound design ... the low-point of this -lrb- and other recent Disney dvd -rrb- be the inclusion of `` Disney 's FastPlay '' . this be a feature that mean the opposite of what most people would hope . we would want fast play to be a way to quickly start the movie , avoid all the extra stuff that be throw on movie nowadays . actually , fast Play take you into all that stuff , only faster . so , the marketing of other project trump quality a bit here . not so bad since it can still be bypass by go to the main menu . the film of Peter Pan be a super ambitious effort . detail and character business be absolute first-rate . if the film have a little more heart , it would fly even higher . +738 Movies_TV NEG 1 I buy this product after read the review . after watch some amateur do bollywood dancing , I really want to try it out , as it look like a attractive and fun style of dance . I make two attempt at complete this dvd and find that this dance workout do not consist of fun bollywood dance move , but be mostly make up of boring stretch movement . I want to give this product zero star as I do not plan on use it again , which really highlight the fact that I get nothing out of this dvd . however , amazon seem to let I give a minimum of one ! +884 Movies_TV POS 5 this movie will surely make you think twice whether or not you be be watch ! +710 Movies_TV POS 4 despite the fact that we both like Gene Hackman and Will Smith , my wife and I put off see this movie for along time , think that it be probably go to be just another run-of-the mill Jerry Bruckheimer action flick , all of which get to be a bit overblown and `` samey '' after awhile -lrb- IMO Crimson Tide , and the spoof , ConAir , be he best film -rrb- ... but what would otherwise just have be another pretty good action\/suspense film , take on a eerie resonance in the post 9\/11 era -- the legislation that the Jon Voigt character be willing to kill to get pass have more than a faint aroma of `` the Patriot Act '' -- and I be surprised that more reviewer have not mention that . as far as the `` lack of substance '' that some reviewer mention , that be entirely subjective , and I do not agree with it . as far as reviewer who talk about this not be as good as 1974 's the conversation , get a clue that element of this movie be conscious homage to that earlier -lrb- and IMO , badly date , and overrate -rrb- movie -- one of the thing that be fun about Bruckheimer 's movie be that they be full of homage to earlier suspense\/action flick , esp . those that influence he . also , folk , get a clue to the fact that the Will Smith character 's `` dumbness '' and naivety , be part of the point of this movie : he ignorance of technology , and he over-reliance on other people for information , put he at the mercy of the `` heavy '' in this movie , and leave he wide open to the crisis in which he find himself embroil . as a aside , along the line of the eerie resonance of this movie in the wake of 9\/11 , it give my wife and I a bit of a chill down we spine when Gene Hackman 's character reveal by `` hacking '' into the NSA computer that the Jon Voigt character 's birthday be `` 9\/11 '' -- a eerie coincidence three year before 9\/11\/01 . +473 Movies_TV POS 5 the video come in perfect consition . great price for a Disney movie . at least its oneof the few where a animal\/person do not die , which be a good thing +314 Movies_TV POS 5 fear this dvd set , at least if you be press for time . a season full of thoroughly entertaining , enjoyable science fiction tv episode straight from the UK be to be find within , and the temptation to put the next disc in and keep watch be terribly hard to resist . David Tennant certainly have some pretty big shoe to fill -lrb- nine pair of they , actually -rrb- , but he have really do a wonderful job in take on the role of the eccentric space\/time-wandering doctor . he be as delightfully quirky as ever , yet in a more hyperactive manner . full of frenetic humor and yet less distant emotionally , with more warmth and less sarcasm than he immediate predecessor . this make he a bit more likeable but also a bit too human perhaps ; it be easier to forget that he be not of this earth , although trace of # 9 's convincingly alien mean streak remain . and he oddball sense of wonder in the face of the unknown -- even werewolf have a certain `` beauty '' for he . in general , Tennant 's Doctor will prove to be a memorable one , I suspect , faithfully true to the character 's general persona while engagingly eccentric in its own very unique way . the storytelling have thankfully improve very much since the prior season . do not get I wrong , I like `` the complete First Series '' quite a bit , but this second time around the plotline seem less rush and the solution less sudden and out of left field . more of the story be two-parter , which help immensely in this regard . after all , the good old classic `` Doctor who '' tale gradually develop through four episode of about half a hour each ; two hour-long episode back-to-back amount to much the same thing , which may be about the ideal time necessary for a Doctor who plot to unfold . this season have a good mix of story too . many be good solid straight science fiction , and this be especially so of `` rise of the Cybermen '' -lrb- okay , even if the Cybermen 's inventor do seem like a carbon copy of Davros -rrb- , and along the same line the Doomsday battle between two classic Doctor who foe in the season finale be totally and utterly inspire ! I have dream of such a confrontation ever since I be a nerdy teenager watch this show religiously on PBS . more characteristic perhaps of the season as a whole though be story that straddle the boundary between sci-fus and horror in intriguing way , include a face-off with the devil himself . sound corny , but it be actually pull off well , downright scary but with just the right dose of agnostic ambiguity . not every episode be a masterpiece , of course . the masterpiece would not stand out then . and everyone will have they favorite . but overall this be a fine year 's worth of a excellent show in its latest incarnation , the New New New New New New New New New New Doctor who . +699 Movies_TV POS 5 I be so un-naturally obsess with Cinderella I can not express it in word , so I have be await the release of Cinderella III for month . and it be totally worth it . unlike Cinderella 2 there be actaully a plot that be somewhat predictable but not as bad as most people would expect . the song be short but very sweet , and I instantly fall in love with all of they . the soundtrack be amazing and very much like the original . the movie create the same magical , romantic feeling that so many people feel while watch the original . all in all this be a amazing movie , and do not let anybody tell you otherwise . and by the way Cinderella 3 be set one year after the wedding , when Cinderella 2 take place after . there be refrence to Anastasia find true love with the baker during the end credit as a way of conect the two sequl . +898 Movies_TV NEU 3 like all Disney 's classic - and I mean the real classic , not those new movie they call classic - Peter Pan have a lot of what have be call the magic of Disney . of course there be some theme that be very questionable and politically incorrect in these day , like the way indian be depict and Peter 's Pan cruel joke of cut Hook 's hand and feed it to a crocodile . in spite of these , `` Peter Pan '' be a excellent adventure movie for child and also , even as a child , I could appreciate the sexual appeal of the siren and , of course , of Tinkerbell . it be nice they be finally make a movie about Tinkerbell , I just hope they do it right . the big disappointment to I be that this be not a widescreen version of the movie , that be a big let-down . they be announce the come realese of `` the jungle book '' , so I hope they make it widescreen . +211 Movies_TV POS 5 David Tennant pick up where Christopher Eccleston leave off without miss a beat . as the 10th and newest doctor , Tennant 's quirky Doc be refreshing and just funny enough to pull it off . he chemistry with Billie Piper , who play Rose Tyler , be fantastic as the drama intensify to a sad finale between the doctor and Rose . I recommend season 2 as a great buy and the additional extra on the dvd 's be fun to watch with all the behind scene , personal video diary and commentary . enjoy ! +435 Movies_TV POS 5 very interesting , love every minute , up until the end . guess all good thing must come to a end . what a shame . other wise love the dialogue . love the character and how the actor present the character . Worth the $ 69.99 + shipping . +943 Movies_TV POS 5 I be a little late in write a review . great experience with this seller . receive item promptly and in great condition . +604 Movies_TV POS 5 note : as of this moment , the Two-Disc platinum edition of Peter Pan be in limited distribution -lrb- I have see it -rrb- and most of the review that appear now refer to a earlier version . the Two-Disc platinum edition version can be pre-order from Amazon and Borders and offer new special feature which include a restore original theatrical soundtrack all-new digital restoration with enhance picture and sound , `` Camp Never Land : explore never land '' with all-new multi-level game , delete song , a feature during which Walt Disney explain `` why I make Peter Pan , '' `` the Peter Pan Story : 1952 '' featurette , a sneak peek of the all-new Tinker Bell movie , another feature `` you can fly : the make of Peter Pan , '' a t-squad music video : `` the second star to the Right , '' a Peter Pan virtual flight , Peter 's Playful Prank dvd storybook , and a never-before-seen alternate opening . over the year , I have see various version of this delightful film and enjoy it at least as much now as I do when it be first release in 1953 . on several occasion , I have also visit Disneyland and vividly recall the excitement of the ride when my companion and I depart the child 's bedroom and fly above London at night en route to Neverland . the so-called `` magic kingdom '' be more a state-of-mind than a location because the genius of Walt Disney and he associate be that , in way and to a extent no one else ever have , they activate and engage imagination . this be especially true of this film that , unlike most of the other animation feature , involve a journey by air as well as by land . literally , one 's imagination soar above and beyond human concern , at least for 77 minute . unlike other Disney villain -lrb- e.g. honest John and Stromboli in Pinocchio , the Queen\/Witch in Snow White and the seven dwarf -rrb- , Captain Hook be at least as amusing as he be threaten . the fate of the darling child be never really in doubt . we know that eventually , theirs will be a safe return to they home and family . -lrb- I have no such confidence - as a child -- when first view Dumbo , Pinocchio , and Snow White and the seven dwarf . -rrb- although for most of we , `` there be no place like home , '' we enjoy and appreciate opportunity to travel far and wide - at least in we imagination - and become involve in adventure of various kind , as the darling child do . those who already have a earlier version of Peter Pan can continue to enjoy it , of course , but at least some of they will welcome this Two-Disc platinum edition because of all of its special feature , previously unavailable . I only wish other dvd offer special feature of comparable variety , quality , and entertainment value . +858 Movies_TV NEG 2 I watch the second series , and it be decent , but so much of it be just flashy special effect and endless running . go be the thoughful writing of the past Doctor who series . I guess if this be what people want , then fine , it will sell . but to I it be all rather hollow and anti-climatic . `` oh , another freaky monster ... any minute now , they 'll start run again '' , etc. . . I do not know ... it just seem like with the earlier doctor , the writing be so much more substantial . the acting be also a ton better . plus what be the deal with the Daleks oversaturate the eccleston\/tennant series ? ah well , my two cent . +185 Movies_TV POS 5 Disney , Disney , Disney how do you change a classic ? upgrade to dvd . +815 Movies_TV POS 5 I have see this movie before but have forget about it . it be on sale at Amazon so I buy it . I be glad I do because it be a really great Will Smith movie . lot of action and although not a really realistic plot a good one for people to pay attention to -lrb- not that it could not happen -rrb- . that one powerful person could ruin a life so extensively in such a short period of time be a streach . at any rate it emphasize something that should be a real matter of concern to all Americans that govenment be in way too much of we business . all the actor do a great job even if I can not remember all they name . well worth the cost of the movie . +195 Movies_TV POS 4 my 2 1\/2 year old do not get too scared or think that it be creepy ... which be good . but , she always get bored half way through . : -lrb- I guess she be to young for it . my husband and I think it be neat though . great family movie if you have a little older child because the parent will like it too : -rrb- +914 Movies_TV POS 5 purchase this for my grown daughter - VHS just do not cut it - by the time a new format come out - she 'll have to buy she own +608 Movies_TV POS 5 well 1st I 'll start out by say what a huge Doctor who fan I be . I mean they sure have come along way since the show begin , but I guess what I really want to say be the character of the show be so unique they just make the show that much more enjoyable . and you gotta love all the spinoff from the show like Torchwood and some of the other . so all in all I ` de say it be something any Doctor who fan should not be without . +975 Movies_TV POS 4 I find this movie to be a interesting counterpart to the original - which I love as a child and still as a adult . I find the story line interesting - Cinderella do not rely on or even think about contact the Fairy God Mother to get she out of the situation . with the help of she friend -lrb- grant they be mouse & bird -rrb- she figure out how to resolve ` the problem ' present to she via she step-mother . the movie plant a good seed that we female should not rely on ` other ' -lrb- i.e. the knight in shin armor or the prince -rrb- to save we -- we need to be able to save ourselves for ourselves - that we have the inner strength to do so at we disposal . do so , we become a stronger person and more of a partner to the male we choose to love when we become adult . +143 Movies_TV POS 5 this be the best collection of Doctor who adventure . the episode with Rose and the David Tennant Doctor be the very best . no other doctor or companion can compare ! +487 Movies_TV POS 5 Director Tony Scott 's ENEMY of the state be a engaging thriller . this film cover territory frequently traverse by Alfred Hitchcock , namely that of `` the wrong man '' be place in jeopardy without any plausible explanation . brilliantly play , Will Smith be that man . this film run at a breakneck pace as the NSA pursue Smith for something he unwittingly have be hand . Smith eventually become team with Gene Hackman who play former NSA operative on the lamb . Hackman 's character here seem base on he character from Francis Ford Coppola 's the conversation . Gene Hackman be very good at what he do and he steal this film in the process . the pace be frenetic with the latest high tech surveillance devise include satellite gp system track Smith and Hackman 's every move . the climax be riveting . this be a good one . +685 Movies_TV POS 4 I think the net be better than this , this be a exact copy cat , not exactly , but really close . it be only problem be it be predictable . well , not really , but it be good and you know what the end will be . but , what else be new . there be a killing of a mayor , and a guy get it on tape . then , he hand it to he old friend , which of course , he friend -lrb- will Smith -rrb- do not know that he do . half of the FBI be bad guy chase after Robert Dean -lrb- Will Smith -rrb- , after Robert 's friend die . the other half be good guy who have nothing to do with this . then , Robert lose all he clothes , except one suit which be bug . he whole house be bug , with tracer . they can hear everything he do . one day , he run into a guy name Brill -lrb- Gene Hackman -rrb- who help Robert , in a rather unkind way . the story build up like that , and it be really good , I recommend this , but I recommend the net even more ! +165 Movies_TV POS 5 when I get this , I think it would be a fun , easy workout for my lazy day . boy be I surprise when my leg start burn halfway through the dvd . the best workout be the one where you can have fun , and not feel as though you be work out wait for a repetition to be finish . she encourage you to move at you own pace throughout and for once you do not feel like you be slack if you modify it a bit .

David Tennant and Billie Piper be a incrdible pair of actor surround by a wonderful support cast . the total effect be that you care about the character deeply . keep a full box of tissue on hand for the final episode . +90 Movies_TV POS 4 I be go to be honest with you . when this movie be release and I see the trailer , I do not want to see it . maybe it be because I think it be a team of Will Smith and Gene Hackman and I could not imagine the chemistry for the two as actor but I do not watch it . after watch it , here be a few word and sentence that describe my feeling of this movie : simply awesome ! as you can see , I really enjoy this movie . it be very good ! from start to beginning , you attention will be focus on this movie ! Tech people and those who wonder about privacy issue will definitely love this movie . it be all good ! & # 63728 ; Will Smith be truly wonderful in this film . the ending be very well do . Gene Hackman do a wonderful job as well . the chemistry as actor between the two work well . it be also nice to see Lisa Bonet in this film . I have not see she since the Cosby Show and show during that time . John Voight play a very well do evil political figure . the video of this film be very good . the audio be very good as well ! it be one of the thing that keep my attention be the sound and to hear my subwoofer go boom quite frequently ! as for the extra 's , you get a few of they . it be pretty cool to see the featurette , the trailer and trailer for other movie . the only thing be the featurette be too short and for a movie this big ... there have to be delete scene right ? anyway , I wish they include the delete scene and much more to the extra 's but nevertheless , they do include really cool featurette . again , this movie be brilliant ! so , you read the review ... buy it ! highly recommend ! +295 Movies_TV POS 5 if season 1 be a bit slow to start only to finish on a high note , season 2 pick up quality-wise where season 1 stop , and get better along the way . the script be definitely better write and less fill with hole and short cut . David Tennant as the new doctor be very different from Christopher Eccleston -lrb- more London , less northern -rrb- , and I think I prefer Eccleston , but that be not to say that Tennant 's performance be not great , and very enjoyable . a hugely entertaining series . +734 Movies_TV NEG 1 absolutely no sweat and no fun . this video be not a good dance workout or even a good dance intructional video .

I be pleasantly surprise to find this very watchable , thrilling , and something I 'll probably rent again . Will Smith be great and easy on the eye . all the acting be very good , though Jon Voight have pop up in so many movie lately I be start to get tired of he . I do not figure out how it be go to end , and the final showdown , plus how the main character outwit the bad guy be great . Tom Sizemore I do not recognize at first since he be put on so much weight , but he be fantastic . I give the writer extra point for not go for the cheap shot and have the bad guy kill Gene Hackman 's kitty -lrb- if they have , I would have only give this movie one star , and probably not watch the rest -rrb- . I think that they do kind of beat you over the head with the `` SURVEILLANCE be BAD '' message . after the first half hour it be like , ok , I get the idea guy . the various fictional super-sophisticated tracking device be cool , and Tony and Ridley Scott always shoot they film beautifully . oh , and the woman who play Will Smith 's wife kick a $ $ ! +302 Movies_TV POS 5 we have to wait a while to get this set , but it be worth the wait ! Great act , story line , and special effect ! +118 Movies_TV POS 5 I think that this movie be a great Jerry Bruckheimer production . I like how most of the stunt be pull off in the entire movie . Will Smith should be congradulate for be in this great movie from Jerry Bruckheimer . -lrb- who also do `` the Rock '' and `` Armageddon '' -rrb- Gene Hackman 's part as Brill be very interesting , as well with Jon voight . in total , this movie should be a must see and a must buy movie to own and watch . +24 Movies_TV POS 5 this movie have it all . twist , action , drama , comedy . very good . whole family can watch together . this be one of my favorite Will Smith Movies . +489 Movies_TV POS 5 2010 be suppose to be the year I dance to take my fitness to the next level , however , plain old dance fitness do not keep I interested . I need something a bit more worldly and cultural and unique ... thus I find it ! in the Bollywood dance , I feel transport to a cultural event as Bollywood dance . . I feel like a interesting experience be take place for the next 45 minute . it take I forever to get through something bland like treadmill , but once I pop in this dvd , the 45 minute fly by . this be a good workout which to I be fun ! +642 Movies_TV POS 4 I buy this so I could share it with my 2 year old grandson . we enjoy watch it together . +588 Movies_TV POS 5 ANOTHER FUN one ! do it several time a week and I guarantee you will lose weight . +601 Movies_TV POS 5 everyone should have this dvd and watch with paren t , grandkid !!!! it 2wa a Easter gift to one grandchild and to my husband -lrb- 80 year young -rrb- just great +657 Movies_TV POS 5 this dvd be easy to follow and entertaining for my 3 yr old girl and she 4 yr old brother . she actually prefer it to the original ; I think its easier for she to follow and more engaging than the original , for little kid . if you child be a Cinderella fan , this be a great dvd . +199 Movies_TV POS 5 my three year old grandson talk about Peter Pan , and I go to my local dvd source and be tell it be no longer in print .

Amazon ship very quickly ... thanks !!! +998 Movies_TV POS 5 I do not really think the quality could be improve on a older film like this , but this dvd be amazing . its like a brand new movie . Crisp picture and beautiful sound . +632 Movies_TV POS 5 borrow this movie from a friend and my toddler be very sad once we return it . have to buy it use . find it in great condition through from a authorized dealer on amazon . some of the content be iffy -lrb- bratty language -rrb- but the music be wonderful . +329 Movies_TV POS 5 I like the Peter Pan ! just not the new special edition dvd ! it be very boring extra and the movie be not really remaster at all ! I find my VHS tape that be a classic version to be better than the one on the dvd ! however , I get this because I collect all the animated film from the Disney Studios ! I wish I work there , I would really help the Disney Company bring back the magic ! I will one day ! thank you ! : -rrb- +242 Movies_TV POS 5 I enjoy this too . we could not wait to own this . he have almost all of the old doctor series . now we have the new one to . what a great way to pass a eveing when tv stink . +756 Movies_TV POS 5 excellent movie . love the technology and the constant move plot . Gene Hackman and Will Smith rock in this movie . look even better in Blue-Ray . fun scene , the blender theft . if you like this movie you may also like Deja vu with denzial Washington . +156 Movies_TV POS 4 I do not usually like do video workout , but this one really be fun . it be a bit silly and corny , but I do work up a sweat and have a great time do it . +534 Movies_TV POS 5 excellent premise of Washington high tech crime in the national security community . Will Smith be better in this than in WWW . he be a good choice for this part . put he with Gene Hackman and you get explosive scene . excellent action footage and the cut room work be excellent . +965 Movies_TV NEG 1 while this video do provide a fun workout , toward the middle it start to get weird . it seem as though a adult film director be dabble in dance video . the movement get racier , lady look longingly into the camera , voice be strain , and the music say it all : `` bow chika wow wow ! '' of course this all happen when my boyfriend walk in and we just start laugh ! = 0 the video make I feel dirty , violate , and insult . there be no choreography , and the suppose `` performance '' at the end be just cut of `` dancing '' like some kind of modest indian Sports Illustrated suggestive fantasy . if you be into Kama Sutra and Bollywood , this video be for you . I would pay someone just to take it from I so no one ever discover it among my collection and I do not die of embarrassment . I would give this video a zero star rating , except that option do not exist , so I have to give it one star just to post this review . for the record , I have study many form bellydance for a decade , and take a few Bhangra class , and this video come no where near either . the much older & simpler `` can not stop the Bhangra '' Masala Bhangra Workout video with Sarina Jain Masala Bhangra Workout , Vol . 1 : Funky Style I highly recommend it and can not stop watch it . Sarina be respect by the bhangra community . +664 Movies_TV POS 4 that be how some of we see it early and it be great ! my three year old loved it ! +335 Movies_TV POS 4 I try my best to watch all of the Disney sequel , and have certainly be disappoint a few time , but this movie be proof to I that , sometimes , they do a good job ! my daughter certainly love it and have already watch it a number of time . while watch this I notice that there be quite a change in the main character . First and foremost , Disney have a new powerhouse princess . break the mold of the original 1950 `` Cinderella '' -- the weepy , submissive , helpless maiden who require the help of talk animal and fairy magic to save she life -- this Cinderella -lrb- voice by Jennifer Hale -rrb- take she world by the fist and will stop at nothing to reclaim she man . Smart , resourceful , fearless , and agile , she quickly leap to the head of the pack -- step aside Ariel , Jasmine , and Belle -- and may well be able to take out both Meg -lrb- Hercules -rrb- and Mulan in a princess battle royale . she be the Sydney Bristow of the Disney universe and a fantastic new role model for young lady of the 21st century . second and more interesting , Lady Tremaine -lrb- Susanne Blaskeslee -rrb- elevate herself to the upper echelon of Disney villain . infuse a already unholy personality with the power of black magic , tremaine stand toe to toe with maleficent , Ursula , and the wicked queen in estrogen soaked evil . keep in mind , this be all accomplish on the fly with little or no practice . imagine the destruction Tremaine could cause , if she actually have the knowledge and experience of she contemporary . finally , we get to know the real Anastasia -lrb- Tress MacNeille -rrb- . far from a carbon copy of she idiotic sister , she be a kind soul who have spend too many year as the whipping girl for she mother . when put in a position to do the right thing , Anastasia do so without hesitation . she be yet another great role model for girl , especially those who might be mistakenly label or view as troublemaker . Family dynamics be tough and we often live down to the perception and expectation of those around we . however , give the inspiration and opportunity , Anastasia prove we can easily rise above those misperception and become the person we be mean to be . I do have a couple of fault with this sequel . this movie lack artistic depth , which betray the great character and story element at work within . it be a shame , really . the opening number , `` perfectly Perfect , '' be force and hokey , a water down version of Belle 's entrance in `` Beauty and the beast , '' and Anastasia 's `` two simple word '' be a generic Disney mini-love ballad . the only musical bright spot be Jaq and Gus-Gus 's `` at the Ball , '' deliver in true Timon and Pumbaa style . truth be , you will not have any of these song run through you head , even after 50 plus viewing by the kid . the biggest character misstep be Prince and King No-Name . these two be pull from the `` Stock secondary character '' drawer in the Disney vault . the Prince be a two-dimensional Ken Doll whose personality be even less interesting than he physical characteristic . the producer go so far as to enlist the voice of Christopher Daniel Barnes -lrb- Ariel 's Prince Eric -rrb- but it do not help . in term of bonus feature , it be pretty much promotional filler . there be a Hayden Panettiere -lrb- Claire from Heroes -rrb- music video for the film 's end credit tune , `` I still Believe '' ; a interactive game , bibbidi-bobbidi-choose , that will occupy kid for about 15 minute ; a behind the scene look at the stage musical twice charm ; a sneak preview at the new line of Princess tale come this fall ; and dvd rom feature which Mac user have to install a interactual player to access . I believe those who enjoy suspense and good fun in a Disney movie , will mildly enjoy this movie . +432 Movies_TV NEU 3 this be a enchanting story , and I would give it 5 star if it be not for a bit of unfortunate sterotyping of american Indians . in particular , a song sing by the indian character -lrb- `` what make The Red Man Red ? '' -rrb- be intend to be funny , but now it just come across as embarrassing . I fully realize this sort of thing be par for the course in Hollywood at the time . but it be still unfortunate that I now have to explain to my kid that it be really not ok in we family to use skin color as the punch line to a joke . +807 Movies_TV POS 5 in my opinion , `` Peter Pan '' be one of the most classic and one of the best of the classic Disney film . wendy , John , and Michael all believe in Peter Pan , and one night they finally get lucky . `` Peter Pan '' take they to where he live and where kid will never grow up into adult , Neverland . while there , wendy , John , and Michael meet other kid and discover the wonder and childlike fantasy of never grow up . but most of all , they meet Peter Pan 's biggest adversary , Captain Hook . `` Peter Pan '' be a great classic film . when I be a kid , I use to like it a lot , mainly because I use to wish that I would never grow up , just like Peter Pan and some of the other kid . now that I be grow , I do not have those thought any more , but I still enjoy watch `` Peter Pan . '' it be a good movie . part of it be funny , it give I a little bit of nostalgia everytime I watch it , and it even have some good song that be unforgettable , such as `` you can fly . '' I do not see where it matter how old you be , there be not anything wrong with watch cartoon after you be grow , unlike what my dad think . if you like classic cartoon movie or if you have any kid , `` Peter Pan '' would be a great movie to get . +713 Movies_TV POS 5 this movie be spectacular . the storyline be good , and it be much better than Cinderella 2 , which be okay , but not very interesting . I recommend it for all Disney fan , Cinderella fan , Disney Princess fan , and anyone who like fairy tale . a twist in Time be , as you probably already know , about what happen when Cinderella 's step get they hand on the fairy godmother 's wand . they use it to reverse time and make the Prince think that Anastasia be the girl he dance with at the ball . so , how will thing end up happily ever after ? +264 Movies_TV POS 5 great movie ! we son be 3 and love to pretend to fly . plus , TinkerBell 's extreme emotion have give we a great oppotunity to talk about how we exercise self-control and how we express we feeling . great entertainment and easy `` teachable moment . '' +742 Movies_TV POS 5 do anyone else get a bad copy of this movie ? the one that I order from Amazon be miss the part where they video tape the Senator mess around . some of my freind say that they notice it on rent copy also . otherwise it be a awsome movie . it really make you wonder what big brother really know about we . +350 Movies_TV POS 5 spoiler alert : as a baby boomer , Cinderella have be one of my all time favorite story and Disney animated feature . the only thing that irk I be the fact that Prince Charming be such a passive character . he passivity be again highlight in Cinderella II . however , as I watch Cinderella III with my 8-year-old daughter , I be thrill to tear to find he alive , well , and willing to risk great personal injury to find he true love , black magic notwithstanding . the stepmother be evil through and through ; she still creep I out . Anastasia come through in the end to help Cinderella and we know she will soon find true love with the village baker . thank you Disney !! +456 Movies_TV NEU 3 `` the Disney version '' of `` Peter Pan '' clearly demonstrate what be so wrong with `` The Disney version '' of too many classic story . it turn Barrie 's play into a simple adventure tale , in which the dramatic and -lrb- dare I say it ? -rrb- psycho-sexual element at the center of Barrie 's fantasy be discard wholesale . there be defensible reason for this , I suppose . drama require talk , but character who stand around gab bring a animated film to a dead stop . I also suspect that Disney simply do not understand the story in the first place . it be not until the Ashman\/Menken era that Disney film finally develop any dramatic focus . it be unfortunate , because `` Peter Pan '' start off well enough . the late Sammy Fain 's `` second star from the Right , '' play over the title card , have one of the most-ravishing melody in the history of american popular music . -lrb- look for the album `` Bibbidi Bobbidi Bach '' and `` Heigh-Ho ! Mozart '' for superb `` classical '' arrangement of Disney tune . -rrb- the `` you can fly '' sequence be inspire -lrb- and can you name any other pop song with a accelerando passage ? -rrb- . but everything quickly bog down thereafter , with Captain Hook 's machination provide the only fun . there just be not enough good thing in the Disney `` Peter Pan '' to make up for its failure to treat the source material in a honest and serious fashion . +924 Movies_TV POS 5 i buy this movie for my soon to be 3 year old niece for she bday on April 28 and i get the item within 5 day of order . the quality of the movie be great . the only thing be that the disc be slide around in the case but no harm be do . i be amaze with how short of time it take to recieve it . thank you so much for the movie . i couldnt find it anywhere else but here . i know she will have a huge smile on she face when she see it . thank you so much ! +792 Movies_TV POS 5 I buy this movie in 2007 and have since buy the bluray verion of the movie . downright murder through dirty politics precede the infidelity , illegal surveillance , crime , and payback that make up this thrill-packed action movie . this movie can so easily be overlook -lrb- at one 's loss and peril -rrb- but it pitch up there with some of Will Smith 's best movie . if you like Tommy Lee Jones , Robert Downey Jr. and Wesley Snipes 's US Marshalls -lrb- 1998 -rrb- then you will love this movie . a great buy . +931 Movies_TV POS 5 no need to get any popcorn because you want have time to put it in you mouth , a great movie ! Will Smith & Gene Hackman be a super team together ! buy this one for you collection , it be worth it !! +468 Movies_TV POS 5 when someone ask `` what be you favorite Disney movie '' I usually reply , `` beauty and the beast '' or `` the Lion King '' , as do most people . there be one Disney movie , which almost everyone love , yet always seem to forget , `` Peter Pan '' . this be one of Disney 's most wonderfully brilliant and magical movie ever . it combine the joy of childhood with the seriousness of grow up . I remember watch it so often that I wear out my video . anyone of any age can enjoy this film ... and will . +971 Movies_TV NEU 3 as a Dr. who newbie , it be difficult to compare this incarnation of the Dr. with other , although I do find David Tennant 's act engaging , just a bit ` over the top ' which seem to fit the persona . my main complaint be that one of the six disk send in my product be unreadable by two different dvd player . look at it , it seem as if nothing have be write on the disk . it look ` blank ' , compare to the other . my warning be that you check you disk as soon as you receive the package and request a new set before any `` grace '' period expire . I be also a bit surprise that there be only two or three episode per disk , when many tv dvd edition have four episode on a disk . +495 Movies_TV POS 5 this be a great movie ... my daughter watch it when it arrive for a week straight ... I thoroughly enjoy it myself ... the clarity and the animation and effect be fantastic . I highly recommend this movie ... my daughter be a huge princess fan of all of the princess . I be look forward to the release of Cinderalla II . +463 Movies_TV POS 5 i like this movie because it have lot of action and also i like because the producer be will smith and he be one of my best actor in the world and also i like other movie about he like bad boy or wild wild west those be good movie too . but enemy of the state be better than these that i just mention above . +621 Movies_TV POS 5 I have not recicvy my package yet but it will be deliver tomorrow I know cause I track the package and its here but I cant wait to have it as my own I adore this Peter pan movie as a child . Haha and I cant wait to see it again I have not see this movie since I be 5 and I be a freak freshman ! I cant wait to get it I be so excited haha -lrb- : +110 Movies_TV POS 5 Will Smith and Gene Hackman be brilliant in this movie ! Will Smith prove that he can be just as good of a actor when it come to action movie as he can in comedy movie . Mr. Dean -lrb- Will Smith -rrb- do not know it at first , but he have become the prime target for a politician and he group of thug when he accidentally obtain major evidence of a politically motivated crime . soon , he life be gonna do more than fall apart . the only way he can possibly even have half a chance to get he life back be with the help of a expert name Brill -lrb- Gene Hackman -rrb- . `` enemy of the state '' be one of the best all around movie I have ever see . it have some of the most intense suspense ever see in a movie . it be think provoke and it be jam full of non-stop action and suspense . I recommend anybody who like action or suspense movie to pick up a copy of `` enemy of the state '' right now . +154 Movies_TV POS 5 this be a excellently make movie . a edge of you seat thriller . also the \* make of \* part be incredibly informative . +93 Movies_TV POS 5 First Will Smith rock all-round . the movie really make you think about the lack of privacy in we world today . and make you wonder about the government and what role they play or do not play in we society . it be well write and act out . full of drama and suspense . scary , in a way because you do not know how far someone will go to get what they want . a must see , and worth every penny you spend . +357 Movies_TV POS 5 who do not LOVE PETER PAN , who do not want to fly ?? +50 Movies_TV POS 4 I know alot of people hate the `` sequel '' Disney movie simply because they feel they creation `` desecrate '' the memory of the original . ah but do remember , these be never `` original '' Disney property to begin with , they be softer retelling of fairy tale or other classic novel . Cinderella III be a entertaining movie . it be animation be quite fluid , with a few mistake here and there , it be still a bright , vibrant movie with consistent character design . the storyline be a `` alternative '' storyboard , where the character be force back in time and down different path for the sake of the storyboard . this make thing interesting , and even the comedic bit be either slapstick , or subtle intelligent and amusing . the bottom line be that this be one of the best thing Disney have release in recent year ... they non-pixar cg movie have be terrible -lrb- `` Chicken Little '' almost unwatchable it be so bad -rrb- and not much else have come from the studio . anyone that love fairy tale , Cinderella , alternate timeline -lrb- a popular device in Sci Fi and fantasy -rrb- etc will enjoy this movie . my daughter be three and this be by far she favorite film right now -lrb- yes , even over `` classic '' like `` Cinderella one '' as she call it , etc -rrb- . +929 Movies_TV NEG 2 I truly can not . first of all , will smith be not a good actor . in the movie he be suppose to play a lloyer but he never once in the entire movie show the face of a lloyer . a thing that really piss I off be every time that guy be go in to see jon voight at he office , they always have to show that guy 's thumb gee press into that i.d. checker . if they be try to show the security of the office , sure , okay , show the thumb once or twice but not four or five freak time . the only reason that they make the camera look at the thumb so many time be so they can make time cause the movie have nothing . i would also like to say at this time that the person who play will 's wife -lrb- bacon lip be what i 'll call she -rrb- look so ridiculous in that lingerie . i like the end though , i think it be a very smart end but that be it . i would also like to say with ease that there be no such thing as a building that can moniter everyone in the planet , i mean , do you know how much money it will cost for the government to know that you be be at this moment reading this review . +547 Movies_TV POS 5 I purchase last year when it come out the 2 disc version . I never rate it . great quality and clear picture ! +448 Movies_TV POS 5 I buy this delightful dvd for my 4 year old grandaughter . she be so excite when she receive it for Valentine 's day . it be a great story and yes , it do have a twist that make it much different from other Cinderella movie . I would recommend this movie for any child but , especially little girl who think they be princess ! +1 Movies_TV NEU 3 on my disk the last scene of episode 2 : New Earth be miss . instead the disk cut to a gory scene from what appear to be `` the Texas Chainsaw Massacure '' . look at the dvd menue I see that the last scene be title `` Time to die '' . I can only guess that the manufacturer of the dvd insert a simularly title scene from another movie . parent be warn , the scene in question be NOT for child . +35 Movies_TV POS 5 seldom do a sequel live up to the original , but this one do come close . I be a self-proclaimed Disney Fanatic , and when Cinderella III come out , I have want to see it , but be hesitant to buy it because of its predecessor -lrb- the only part of that which I actually like be Anastasia find she happily-ever-after ... -rrb- . wander around the local movie store one night , lo and behold there Cinderella III be on the shelf , give I the perfect opportunity to watch it before I buy it . so I check it out , take it home and watch it . and be more than happy with what Disney create . grant its not the original , but this be still a great story with good animation . so I buy it and now own the movie . this be one that I would love to share with my child in the future . five Stars Disney ! +424 Movies_TV POS 5 this movie totally kick ! a excellent high tech movie for all viewer ! Watch this movie ! and remember ! BIG BROTHER be WATCHING !!! +100 Movies_TV POS 5 we grandson love this dvd and want more . he say he love old movie , and this be a really good one . +450 Movies_TV POS 5 Will Smith be dynamic as usual . Gene Hackman have not lose he appeal as one of the good guy . they need to come together and do another smokin ' sequel . +571 Movies_TV NEG 1 I be sorry , I be a Doctor who fan of old , and this new stuff just be not it . the old Doctor who of the 1960 and '70 may have have cheesy set and lousy acting , BUT the story be good ! most of these new story be weak ; `` Love and Monsters '' be one of the worst show I have ever see , in any series , much less Doctor who . I would have utterly embarassed , if I be BBC , to put that show on the air . this teary , sappy , emotional stuff just do not work , it be not Doctor who . and why so many episode on earth ? that be not Doctor who , either . this guy travel , he Tardis take he where he do not know where , not to London in different time period . David Tennant be ok as a Dcotor who ; Billie Piper can not do anything well but cry . this soap opera stuff have get to go . if you be a old Doctor who fan and have not try these new series yet , you 'll be disappoint if you do . this stuff reek , just bad story , that be all there be to it . +168 Movies_TV POS 5 do they ever make a part 2 to this movie ? I see 1 and 3 but no 2 ... what go on ? +717 Movies_TV POS 4 I find enemy of the State a well-written , well-acted movie . my family constantly discuss the casting , the plot , and the `` could this happen in we ` real ' life '' situation . this video stimulate we discussion about the influence of technology and government and the impact of technology in the hand of governmental department . it be a timely viewing consider the privacy bill that be now be discuss in Congress . this be a recommend video to watch with older child -lrb- 16 or older -rrb- . +875 Movies_TV POS 4 if you be interested in Conspiracy Theory style movie this be a very good choice . in a interesting twist Hollywood actually make the Senator with a conscious a Republican . can the apocalypse be far behind ? still this be probabbly Wil Smith 's best act to date , if for no other reason than he do not get to rely on he smart mouth . it be refresh to see that Wil Smith can effectively play with aplomb a character who be not constantly mouth off to everyone and show he wit . gene Hackman do a admirable job . all tell a very good movie . the dvd be pretty basic , but all right all in all . +396 Movies_TV POS 5 great just as I hope it would be .

I have see a few good disney sequel -lrb- emphasis on few -rrb- ! if they be gonna remake any movie it should be the `` black cauldron '' . that movie be not very good to begin with . I recommend Narnia the Lion the witch and the wardrobe over this movie . this movie be just the original Cinderella in reverse . geez this be reminisent of the little mermaid ii return to the sea . come on , Cinderella III a twist in time geez where do they get they story from a fanfiction site . do happily ever after mean anything to you people at Disney . +471 Movies_TV POS 5 when you hear the name `` Will Smith '' you think comedy . well in this film he prove he be much much more . probably the highest pay black actor and with very good reason . with extreme talent he play he role in the film very nicely . Jean Hackman be also brilliant . get the film ! +689 Movies_TV POS 5 I be a little concerned about add `` the Bollywood Workout '' to my aerobic workout . for one thing , I think it might only be for girl . also , indian dancing be barefoot , and the move be impossible in gym shoe . I like dancing without shoe , the human foot be mean for this , but injured myself when do aerobic workout without run shoe . I decide to give it a try because in Bollywood film , the guy dance just as crazily as the girl , try to impress they I would suppose . as to the shoe issue , the only impact movement in this workout be the two and three hop Hare Krishna move and hemalayaa be very conscientious about tell you to bend the knee to absorb the stress . the other foot move be characteristic of indian dance and art : rather than be \* en pointe \* or a continual \* jete \* into space -lrb- with stress on landing -rrb- indian dance stay root to the earth and get its strength building from variant of \* plie \* , if you 'll pardon my french ! this I find a very rewarding workout that unlike Jane Fonda 's -lrb- which I also like -rrb- seem to last far less than fifty minute , because there be more variety . the lady look like real woman and not Barbie doll but be `` eye candy '' all the same . you do need to be careful in the head whip move if you have any history of neck or back trouble . but do they slowly and ramp up may -lrb- in my nonmedical opinion -rrb- help to clear these very problem up . of course , as a introduction to the vast dance tradition of India , this be like play Louie-Louie on the \* sitar \* and purist may be offend . but Bollywood itself play around , respectfully , with India 's tradition and this workout introduce the Westerner to many unvisited bodily zone , for example , when Hemalayaa invite you to breathe into a specific area . more advanced dancer will of course laugh at these gal , but those of we fight depression and advance age with Siva 's dance applaud Hemalayaa 's effort to bring this important practice to ordinary gymnosophistical slob such as yours truly . +982 Movies_TV POS 5 dvd arrive well , play perfectly ... as a movie ??? my 3 year old absolutely love `` Peanut butter pan '' but strange to see some of the Disney spin . . like female jealousy from Tinker and the mermaid , wendy for the indian maid . . weird white male humor with the `` Redskins '' ? little kid only see scary croc , adventure and fun ... we have watch it together about 37 time so I be get to see a lot of nuance I suppose ... +896 Movies_TV POS 4 I could not give this movie 5 star simply because I think it might be a bit too scary for young child . it be well make , however , and the animation definitely match that of the original Disney Cinderella so the character be very familiar . so , if you child do not become easily frightened , please consider this as a 5-star review with a caveat ! +63 Movies_TV POS 5 wonderful dvd . I receive the dvd within a week and and kid love it - perfect for Christmas - thank you ! +510 Movies_TV POS 5 I order this a a Christmas gift for my brother . he be so thrill when he open it and see what it be . it arrive quite quick , and be a definite hit . I order season 2 as a birthday gift since he be so thrill with season 1 . +615 Movies_TV NEG 2 I be sorry to say that the ` new ' version of Peter Pan do not leave out the terribly racist scene depict Indians as redman unable to speak in complete sentence , willing to make anyone a member of they tribe and hand out eagle feather to anyone who come around . I be surprise this fly now a day , but apparently people be not bother by racism when those offend be fewer in number . it would be interesting to see what the backlash would be if this be another minority group . if you wish to raise tolerant child , pick another movie . +996 Movies_TV POS 4 Will Smith can do no wrong and he prove it once again in this movie . it make one wonder about the `` eye '' in the sky and make you go , `` Hmmm '' . the video transfer be excellent and the 5.1 audio really work to completement it . +531 Movies_TV NEG 1 it be hard to put into word how bad this movie really be . normally , I have never have any issue with Disney sequel , like some people do ; in fact , I like they . I love Cinderella II because it play with the idea of the ` what happen after happily ever after ' ? Cinderella II be entertaining , for I , and it do not alter anything of the original story . this movie however be a disaster ; both of my girl be extremely disappoint by this movie . like someone else say it be a insult to the first movie and I would say the second one too . it seem that the producer , or writer , who make this movie could not think of any good story line , and end up only repeat the same thing over and over again . worst of all , it look like they do not bother to do any story continuance with Cinderella II . in that movie , Anastasia have already meet someone she love -lrb- the baker -rrb- and apparently she even have go to the palace to dance with he . in this story that start in Cinderella 's first wedding anniversary -lrb- which have the kid assume that Anastasia 's story already happen -rrb- we go back to Anastasia hate Cinderella and there be no mention of the baker . Anastasia be look for true love , but the problem be that if you follow the movie she be suppose to have find it already . the producer annul the first two movie so they could tell again a story that do not need fix . now it do need fix , because annul two wonderful movie so they can give we a mediocre sequel be quite a achievement . the movie be so absolutely horrendous that even the song be hard to listen too . the movie have nothing good to entertaining you with , but have plenty to leave you fume for hour if you be a Disney or Cinderella fan . to make thing worst , they deliver a mortal blow at the end of the movie when Cinderella and Prince charming first year of marriage it be erase and they start all over again . so Cinderella 's first wedding never exist and we instead get that less than satisfy end . what be that for ? be they plan another sequel ? I hope that this be not the case ; because I be go to stick this movie very far down in a closet and pretend it be never make . it make I weep for what they have do to Walt Disney 's creation . +277 Movies_TV POS 5 my daughter love the movie and still watch it every week . ship be a breeze as well . arrive at my home be less than the project time . +536 Movies_TV NEG 1 after buy this workout dvd base on such high review i be very disappointed ! I be hope for a little more `` bollywood '' action in the move , as I have take many bollywood class . this dvd do not compare to a actual bollywood workout . the cool down period be the best part of the dvd . if you be look for a intense workout , skip this dvd ! +752 Movies_TV POS 4 I find it to be charming , and the `` twist '' in the story , while not original , quite please to the overall story and make Cinderella III more connect to the first Disney 's Cinderella than be the second film . +246 Movies_TV POS 5 the doctor as play by David Tennant be so charming and funny , and so genuinely geeky , when he get excite about anything science - or technology-related , that he be always a pleasure to watch . +688 Movies_TV POS 5 the movie that you want to have for you kid and for yourself !!!! my daughter watch it over and over and it be always magical . +506 Movies_TV NEU 3 we get this movie for my 5-year-old daughter for Valentine 's day , and she love it . I must admit - I enjoy it as well , but I notice one major plot hole : when time be reverse , where be the Fairy Godmother ? be she outside of time , and so remain a statue while everything be happen in the past ? I do not mean to over-analyze this movie - obviously , I be not part of Disney 's target audience , but it seem to I to be a huge flaw to the plot . +398 Movies_TV POS 5 it be a Will Smith action movie . need I say more ? Tony Scott -lrb- Crimson Tide , the fan -rrb- brilliantly direct this adrenaline ride feature two legendary actor : Gene Hackman and Jon Voight . the action scene be heart-stopping . they be just awesome . this movie be highly recommend . those high tech device be scary ! +161 Movies_TV POS 5 I be not sure I would like David Tennant , but he style be completely different than Chris Eccleston , and he grow in to the role quite well . +947 Movies_TV NEU 3 do I miss something in watch this version ? I seem to recall that when Tinker Bell 's light be fading the audience be ask to repeat that `` I believe in fairy '' or something to that effect . however , in this version , that portion have be edit out . Peter locate Tinker Bell as she light be fading and we know she be seriously injured and then it simply cut to the pirate ship and then Peter and Tinker show up just fine with no explanation of how she survive . what give ? political correctness of a anti-belief in fairy type ? +413 Movies_TV POS 5 David Tennant be the best doctor since Tom Baker . if you be a Doctor who fan , you should buy this dvd set immediately . if you be not a Doctor who fan , buy this and you will be ! +457 Movies_TV NEU 3 so yeah , I have not see this movie . I probably will and it probably will not be terribly stupid as some sequel be , but this pain I . greatly . Cinderella two be not the greatest disney sequel . the little mermaid 2 and mulan 2 be both better . so why be it that this one get 's a 3 ? why should any of they get a 3 ? if anyone from disney read this -- PICK ANOTHER FAIRY TALE !!! there be lot out there that have not be disneytize . Rapunzel , Rumpelstiltzkin , and then there be the one from other coutnry that western europe and Grimm and stuff . China -- like Mulan -- good movie .

Tom Baker be my favorite actor to play Dr. who . now the new doc be just fine , I be glad they back for the new CENTURY . the special effect be great now , and the female buddy be fun to watch during the show . the TARDIS be much better than the 70 's version of the TARDIS . I alway get the dvd of the old series of dr. who because I still love the program . for those who love sci-fus , fantasy , and adventure this be the show for you . so buy all the dvd 's you can because after all Dr. who be the best sci-fus hereo there be . +326 Movies_TV POS 4 Peter Pan may not be as beautifully craft as Snow White or Pinocchio , and the music may not reach the same height , but even four-star Disney be pretty darned fine entertainment . like those earlier masterpiece , Disney 's Peter Pan be better than the original -lrb- worried that the Disney version be not politically correct ? - try Barrie 's story and suffer apoplexy -rrb- . Saw Peter Pan when I be three year old and enjoy it thoroughly again 37 and now 51 year later . it may not be highly refine , but it be irresistible nonetheless , and mile ahead of anything Disney have make in the past 30 year . to those who want Disney to edit out the knife and gun , cast the Indians and female in they modern p.c. stereotype , and give Peter a monologue about save the environment in Never Land , keep in mind that when the studio get finish please not just you but everybody else with a gripe , there would be nothing left of the movie-or of much else write before the current age of political correctness . give I Hamlet and Paradise lose exactly as they be create . Peter Pan , too . +338 Movies_TV POS 5 this be one of my favorite movie as a child , and what better gift can you give than something you truly believe someone else would enjoy as well ? probably the best Disney movie out there ! +43 Movies_TV POS 5 I love Chris E 's doctor . I think , `` no ! they can not take my doctor away from I after only one season ! '' I be distraught . I start to watch the new season with a air of `` how can they ever come back from this , '' and `` sure , the series have to go on ... '' , but then , then I slowly feel in love . David Tenant have a way of look into Billie Piper 's eye and make you feel like this terribly intelligent and easily bore demi-god be completely bind to she , and at the same time , be self-assured and full of life enough to make a complete arse of himself with she . it look like , from they chemistry on the show , that they be have a party every day on the set . and again with the snarky humor . David deliver it spot on . why oh why be there only 12 episode in a year ? what torture wait for the next season . +728 Movies_TV POS 5 a great movie for both kid and adult . a big fan of Disney , this be one of my favorite !! +556 Movies_TV POS 5 this be a great Walt Disney movie . my kid already own every one available and this one be a perfect addition to they collection . +4 Movies_TV POS 5 I really hope sci-fi never take off the doctor . this be the best show on tv !!!!!

Rose be awesome !! once again BBC win . +921 Movies_TV POS 5 Hemalayaa be very energetic and she dvd be fun . this one I think need maybe a bit more instruction , but it be still very good . if you keep move to the beat and get as much of the routine as you can then you can still get you heart rate up . +444 Movies_TV POS 5 it be not often that one can rave about a direct-to-video dvd release , not even a Disney one . in fact , a large number of fan absolutely detest they , especially when they be sequel , and even more-so when they be sequel to classic . yet , Disney prove excellence in direct-to-video be possible with such a film once before with `` Bambi 2 , '' and now , they have do it again with the highly enjoyable `` Cinderella 3 : a twist in Time ! '' `` Cinderella 3 '' pick up one year after Cinderella and the prince be marry . in fact , it open as they be make they way to a intimate , outdoor anniversary party be throw for they by the Fairy Godmother and Cinderella 's animal friend . admittedly , this open to the film make the viewer wary . it be extremely happy , giggly , sweet , and direct-to-video corny , in true Disney Princess merchandising machine tradition , to the point of be nauseating , and inflate by the fact that this Cinderella sequel be a Disney Renaissance style musical -lrb- like `` the little mermaid '' and `` Beauty and the beast '' -rrb- . but , fear not , the overly happy and sweet opening be there with a purpose , for only moment later will Cinderella 's perfect life be steal away from she by she wicked stepmother and selfish stepsister . see , the less evil of Cinderella 's step-sibling , Anastasia -lrb- she be establish as the less evil one in Cinderella 2 , and that be carry over here -rrb- , have notice the perfect pair ride across the countryside to they anniversary party , and she curiosity and desire for a romance of she own persuade she to follow . when she witness the Fairy Godmother work she magic for Cinderella and she prince , she realize that this be how the two come to find each other . want a love of she own , Anastasia swipe Fairy Godmother 's magic wand when no one be look and quickly take it home to she mother and sister . after suffer for a full year from have to take care of themselves for a change , Lady Tremaine and she daughter be eager for some revenge on they former housemate . use the magic wand , Tremaine cast a spell to turn back time and `` unravel Cinderella 's happily ever after ! '' this time , the baddy use magic to fix it so that the slipper fit Anastasia before Cinderella make it down from the tower . the tremaine be whisk off to the palace , and Cinderella be leave behind with order from she stepmother to keep away from the prince and he home . Cinderella fear all be lose , but she friend Jaq and Gus remind she that the prince should know the difference between she and Anastasia . they plot to get Cindy into the castle under the guise of royal mouse catcher , but while the prince initially do know the difference , cause a funny and awkward moment with the Tremaines , he be soon put under a spell to believe Anastasia really be the girl he have dance with at the ball . the odds be stack against Cinderella , and a adversary with a magic wand be not easy to beat , but Cinderella keep faith that she do not need magic to make she dream of true love and happiness come true . `` Cinderella 3 : a twist in Time '' be a exciting , emotional , magical , and even action-packed movie that be a worthy sequel to the classic Disney film . be the final film from Disney 's australian animation house , the artist and filmmaker have put they all into this one , and it show . if only this much effort have be put into all of Disney 's other direct-to-video release ! sure , there be a few thing one can complain about , and I have to keep Bambi 2 a notch higher than Cinderella 3 due to the fact that Bambi 2 be nearly flawless , but both film would have easily be at home on the big screen -lrb- and be far more worthy of such a release than jungle book 2 or even return to Neverland -rrb- . no , I will not say Cinderella 3 surpass the original Cinderella either , but a sequel do not really have to top the original , it just need to be loyal to the first and have its own interesting and well execute story . Cinderella 3 have this , and despite a couple of minor quibble , be still worthy of a 5 star ranking . unlike the much malign `` Cinderella 2 : dream come true , '' the art , voice work , and animation in `` Cinderella 3 : a twist in Time '' be superbly do to match the classic as much as possible . one only miss Mary Blair 's artistic touch . Cinderella be as gorgeous as ever , and see she have a couple of action scene this time around make she all the more attractive . she be voice beautifully as well -lrb- by accomplished voice actress Jennifer Hale , who I can not believe be the same actress that voice she in Cindy 2 -rrb- . the song be not that memorable , aside from one that Jaq and Gus sing , but they be better than you standard direct-to-video fare . it might take a few viewing to get use to Cinderella and Anastasia burst into song like Belle , but this actually do not happen that often . it be also a little awkward that C.D. Barnes , well know as the voice of Ariel 's Prince Eric in the original little mermaid film , be the voice of the prince here . however , one have to commend he and the filmmaker for actually develop the prince 's character and make he into a admirable Disney hero . the same need to be do for Snow White 's prince , though I be sure a Snow White sequel would put a lot of people up in arm . I know John Lasseter have currently say there will be no more Disney direct-to-video sequel , but I do not buy it , and I say , if they would just keep make 'em like this , I would be fine with they . the most reasonable complaint about `` Cinderella 3 '' be the continuity issue the end bring about . I do not want to give the end away , but what be trouble about it be that the event of this film sort of `` erase '' the ending of the original film , and thing be not put right when it be all over . that can be a little upset for the loyal Disney\/Cinderella fan . we can only hope that the Fairy Godmother fill Cinderella and the Prince in on all that transpire before , later on . some might be disappoint not to see Bruno the dog in this one , and I be not sure if the horse during the action scene in this film be suppose to be Cinderella 's old horse or not , but fan of `` Cinderella 2 '' might be happy to see the character of Prudence return . for those who have not see `` Cinderella 2 '' and just plain do not want to , not to worry , you do not have to have see it to see and understand `` Cinderella 3 . '' in fact , I be still try to figure out when `` Cinderella 2 '' be suppose to have take place . it really do not seem to fit at all now . it could not have happen before `` Cinderella 3 , '' because at the beginning of Cindy 3 , Anastasia be wish she could find true love too -lrb- something she find in `` Cinderella 2 '' -rrb- . it could not have happen after `` Cinderella 3 , '' because of the situation of the Tremaine family and Anastasia 's initial attitude towards Cinderella in Cindy 2 . it seem a `` Cinderella 3 '' viewer would have to disregard `` Cinderella 2 '' altogether , though the filmmaker of `` Cinderella 3 '' do not do so completely . as I say , Prudence be bring back , and at the end of the film we see reassurance of Anastasia 's future romance with the village baker . besides , the important thing to note be that `` Cinderella 3 '' succeed in nearly every way that `` Cinderella 2 '' fail we , and many folk would like to forget `` Cinderella 2 '' ever happen anyway . on to the dvd . the picture be beautiful , of course , and present in anamorphic widescreen format . as one have come to expect from Disney DTV sequel , this one be pretty light on bonus feature . on the bright side , two be actually worthwhile . one of those be a music video for a original song call , `` I still Believe . '' it might not be that great to the average viewer , but if you be a Hayden Panettiere fan , star of the NBC hit superhero show `` hero , '' you have get a winner there , as she provide the singing . I be a huge `` hero '' fan myself . the video have three footage aspect : clip from the film , footage of Hayden walk down a black and white street that turn into color as she pass , and footage of she look absolutely enchant in a magical field of giant flower . personally , I think it would have be better without the seemingly out of place bit of she walk down the street and turn it color . the other worthwhile bonus feature be a featurette on the making of `` twice charm , '' a cinderella-based musical stage show create for the Disney Cruise Line that , like `` a twist in Time , '' have a twist of its own on the story . it be not only very interesting , but it work effectively as a advertisement , which , of course , be what it really be . the other extra include the bibbidi-bobbidi-choose game , which get old fast , the Cinderella Ball Room dvd-rom activity , but I never bother with those , and a sneak peek at the upcoming dvd , `` Disney Princess Enchanted tale : a Kingdom of kindness . '' that last one be actually interesting too , if you be a fanatic of Disney animation or Disney princess , or whatever . if you be picky , you may opt not to get the Kingdom of Kindness dvd after see the preview , or maybe just the opposite . it depend just how far from the original film you allow Disney animation to get for direct to video release . realize that the new sleep beauty cartoon preview in this sneak peek be just a tv-style animated short , I be not go to rant about it not look like a feature film . I 'll be buy it to enjoy the first new Aurora animated story since 1959 , even if its only aim be to please little girl . and , that be pretty much the `` Cinderella 3 : a twist in Time '' dvd in a nutshell . it be a fantastic sequel to a animated classic and belong on the dvd shelf of every Disney animation fanatic ! grit you tooth through the opening scene , then sit back for a wonderful experience . you 'll probably get multiple play out of this one on the first day ! +981 Movies_TV POS 5 we all grow up with this -lrb- or should have -rrb- so get it if not for yourself for you kid or grandkid -- keep the magic of walt 's disney go and forget the neo-disney 's money-grubbing sequal shennannigan ! it be the only way to show they what quality we expect and trust ! +354 Movies_TV POS 4 I thoroughly enjoye the movie expect for the picture quality . due to the aspect ratio 1:2.35 you only get the same sort of quality as VHS , approximately half of the screen vertically will contain picture . hopefully they will use Anamorphic transfer inthe future that would have solve this problem . +899 Movies_TV POS 5 it be so fun to watch this again as a adult with my grandson . we both enjoy it to the fullest . great seller and ship quickly . thanks . +490 Movies_TV POS 5 you can buy these at ioffer.com as a set no case but dvd 's disc with the beautful art work ship in sleeve really cheap +179 Movies_TV NEU 3 I be not a proponent of Disney milk the cash cow of they classic animated film by produce far inferior sequel . about half of the film in the Disney animated library now have direct to dvd sequel . however , the quality of the recent rush of Disney animated sequel have be much better than the sequel predecessor -lrb- BAMBI II for instance be not too bad of a direct dvd release -rrb- . maybe the folk at the Giant Mouse House have receive enough complaint that they be try to make decent sequel . CINDERELLA III : A TWIST in TIME be nowhere near as good a film as the original Disney CINDERELLA . however , the film be not too bad of a movie , especially for a direct-to-dvd release . it look more like a wonderful world of Disney episode or a Friday evening special instead of a Saturday morning hack-job cartoon that many direct-to-dvd cartoon look like . the movie begin on the one-year marriage anniversary of Cinderella and Prince Charming . Cinderella 's Fairy Godmother seem to become more absent-minded and throw she magic wand into the air and loose it . it land in front of a hidden Anastasia who have just learn that Cinderella have magic in help she win Charming 's hand . she rush back to tell she mother the news . the evil stepmother use the wand to turn Fairy Godmother into a statue , turn back time to prevent Cinderella from marry charming , and cast a spell on charming so he fall in love with Anastasia . Cinderella and she mouse friend , Gus and Jaq , know something be out of place , but they do not know what . but they do not give up and be determine to break charming out of he spell . after all , in a fairy tale love conquer all . CINDERELLA III be clearly a movie make for young child , especially very young girl . very young boy -lrb- three or younger -rrb- might enjoy the movie , but the film 's overall message and focus be on young girl . other than a few visual allusion here and there to classic swashbuckling movie , there really be not anything to interest parent , either . the style of animation be a interesting merge between the classic-style of the original CINDERELLA and more colorful and contemporary cartoon . with that say , the movie could have be much worst . when I first hear about the plot of the film , I think it be fitting because Disney often act like the evil stepmother try to turn back time to make more money and change and legacy and history of some of they most cherish creation . however , in watch CINDERELLA III I be begin to wonder if Disney be more like Anastasia and be learn the error of its way . in watch the movie , be sure to watch through the credit as various painting answer some question the story leave open and halfway through there be a coda to the film 's event . the dvd do not include many special feature . there be a music video with Hayden Panettiere -lrb- who voice Kairi in the Kingdom Hearts game and play Claire Bennet on hero -rrb- , a behind the scene look at the Disney Cruise show , `` twice charm '' which inspire CINDERELLA III , Bibbidi-Bobbidi Game , and a interactive activity call Cinderella 's ballroom that only work use a dvd-rom on a computer . +795 Movies_TV POS 5 what can I say ? it be Doctor who , it rule ! just as good if not better then the first series . I like the last doctor but the new on be great in a differant way . Billy Piper be amazing .

Gene Hackman be always good , but I do not even think Lex Luthor can help the Fresh Prince in this over price bucket of trash . hey we should all just get jiggy with it !! +675 Movies_TV POS 5 I have read review and there be more review for the Orville Redenbacker popper then just the Presto so I go with it . the machine do a great jop of pop the corn . I have be use generic popcorn from Safeway and its great . I add the seasoning from no more naked popcorn and it make a great afternoon snack . I believe the Presto without the name be the same but have not see it to be sure . +167 Movies_TV POS 4 I have already see the other two Cinderella movie , so I think , why not watch this one too ? I must say that I be pleasantly suprised . this movie be very sweet and it show more of the prince 's side of the story , unlike the other two movie . I really love it . it be a great movie for younger girl . older girl could get into it too , see as I be 16 and enjoy it . all in all , a lovely movie . +308 Movies_TV POS 5 David be my third all time fave doctor -lrb- behind Tom Baker and Chris Eccleston -rrb- . remarkable job , the last episode be sure to make one weep tear of sadness . +465 Movies_TV POS 5 the dvd arrive in great condition and come to I in the time frame suggest . now the family can enjoy it . +272 Movies_TV POS 5 enemy of the state star will Smith and Gene Hackman . neither of these fine actor make a bad movie that I know of . this be a fine thriller movie about government surveillance and a bad national security agent play by Jon Voight . the good news be that the surveillance technology feature in this movie be for real and target against US enemy . the bad news be that sometimes the government thing we be the enemy . +121 Movies_TV POS 5 I be very pleased with the fast delivery and the excellent condition the movie be in !!! my daughter be obsess with the Peter Pan movie .

I love that it have the spanish track also for muy baby . Great buy !!! +533 Movies_TV POS 5 it have a great actor like Will Smith , if any one be suspicious of the goverment this will just add fuel to the fire . +631 Movies_TV NEG 2 I be a Disneyphile and own a lot of the cassette and dvd of the animated movie . I enjoy Peter Pan a lot as a kid because I be obsess with the fantasy of fly . I have to say , however , that I be not a big fan of Peter Pan now because of the sequence with the Indians . the stereotype be more harmful than in any Disney movie , even more so than Dumbo and song of the South -lrb- which , interestingly , be not in circulation in the United States , although it be more condescending than outright racist than Peter Pan . I think that speak volume about the racial situation in this country , that not every ethnic group have make the same stride in civil rights -rrb- . unlike the animated sequence in Dumbo and song of the South , where character be simply give `` Black '' dialect , in Peter Pan , ethnic stereotype be give form . all the Indians have bright red skin except for the beautiful chief 's daughter . they be `` cartoon '' character with four finger and exaggerated body type -lrb- again , with the exception of the chief 's daughter -rrb- . the dialogue be insulting , of the `` I smoke-um peace pipe '' variety . and all the white kid play `` indian '' , make the bwu-bwu-bwu sound , something I really do not wish to encourage in my own child . I know the movie be a product of its time , but I think that a big indicator of where racial attitude toward native Americans stand today that people still refuse to be offend by it and dismiss any condemnation of the movie as politically-correct B.S. I do not believe it should be change , because I think it be important not to erase history . but I think its problem outshine its trimph . there be dozen of animated Disney movie out there . I would rather not have this movie be my child 's first glimpse at native american culture . +145 Movies_TV NEG 2 I want to like this , since I be look forward to try one of she video . unfortunately , I do not like the dancing at all and could not follow along with it .

Will Smith do a great job of act . together with Gene Hackman , this be a excelent action movie . +423 Movies_TV NEU 3 my kid love this movie and I highly recommend it . where I find fault be with the dvd itself and the Disney Corporation . twice now , when insert into a computer it have completely screw thing up . first , on my laptop for which a system restore be able to fix and the cause be blame on the anti-piracy software that automatically run . the second time , when my daughter insert the disk into my neighbor desktop computer and the Geek Squad after many hour end up have to ` wipe the hard drive ' and re-install everything . again , the cause be blame on ` anti-piracy protection ' . so , the movie be great ... just be cautious before you watch it on a computer . +442 Movies_TV POS 4 it only take I 8 year , but I be finally inspire -lrb- by Will Smith recently film `` I be Legend '' right in my neighborhood -rrb- to see enemy of the state . and it be a good 2 hour and 10 minute of time well spend . Will Smith be on a roll ... have be on a big screen roll ever since Bad Boys -lrb- 1995 -rrb- . it seem that he always play the same character : confident , smart talking , tough , funny . but the redundancy work ... every time . it work in enemy of the State too . like a lot of other Will Smith movie -lrb- `` Independence Day '' , `` man in black '' , `` I , Robot '' , `` Hitch '' -rrb- , enemy of the state be a thoroughly entertaining movie that keep you in you seat . it be get a great story with some great actor . and post 9\/11 , the subject of government surveillance be even more on topic . can anyone say , `` the Patriot Act '' ? enemy of the state be classify as a thriller . a thriller be suppose to be exciting , full of suspense , intrigue and mystery . enemy of the state do not disappoint . a worthy rental . +356 Movies_TV POS 5 the second series keep on go at the same breakneck speed as series one but with the new doctor . just as much fun as the first one , great story that still make you use you brain and have fun at the same time ! love it ! it be still fantastic !!! ca not wait for series 3 ! +194 Movies_TV POS 5 enemy of the state be a great movie . its a excellent action film with a strong message on the `` double-edged sword '' of technology . on one hand , life be make simplier and more convenient by technology . on the other , it allow government -lrb- in particular -rrb- the ability to monitor each individual within the state and will continually challenge a individual 's right to privacy . a worthy film that will not disappointment . +825 Movies_TV POS 5 spoiler follow Walt Disney 's 1953 animated film `` Peter Pan '' be one of several film that help build a sterling reputation for the company 's feature-length animation . with the voice talent of Bobby Driscoll , Hans Conried , and Kathryn Beaumont , it remain timeless entertainment . a adaptation of the James M. Barrie story , it boast artistic , sophisticated animation that hold up brilliantly even compare to the contemporary computer-animated market . for instance , Peter Pan 's first appearance , crouch in darkness on a rooftop , suggest the character 's magical nature and even a subtle hint of the unknown and the potential for danger . the relationship between Peter , Wendy , Michael , and John give the movie tremendous heart . Peter 's companion sprite Tinkerbell be also meticulously draw and animated , and have garner she own place in Disney lore . Bobby Driscoll 's vocal work as Peter Pan be one of the finest , most recognizable voice in Disney 's canon of character . it be a perfect blend of mischief , stubborness , and most importantly , youth . Hans Conried do double duty as the villain Captain Hook and Mr. Darling , father to wendy , Michael , and John . in a animated setting , it be impossible to imagine anyone else in these role . Mr. Conried voice the fussy father very well , and as Captain Hook create one of Disney 's classic villain . he characterization be silkily evil , but he be also able to play the more comical side of the character . Kathryn Beaumont be perfection as wendy , a potent mixture of authority and genuine care in she voice . as one of the few female character from that earlier Disney era who be not a princess , the character of wendy be very interesting . emotionally strong and wise , Wendy Darling be one of Disney 's best female animated character . also feature great song like `` you can fly '' and `` follow the Leader , '' Walt Disney 's `` Peter Pan '' be one of the golden masterpiece from the company . +169 Movies_TV POS 5 First off , there be a minor audio issue with the surround background music overwhelming the dialogue of the actor . I have not find a resolution and just turn up my volume . subtitles\/closed caption will help with this minor issue . also image be very crisp and special effect be wonderful on this dvd set compare to sci-fus channel airing . also , there be no shorted episode like those air on tv . now , it be onto my review of this dvd set . this be a brilliant continuation where Christopher Eccelston leave off in the first new series of Doctor who . David Tennant -lrb- regenerate 10th doctor -rrb- and Billie Piper -lrb- companion - Rose Tyler from the last doctor -rrb- start we with the Christmas invasion with the colorful cast of Jackie and Mickey who be Rose 's mum and pal\/pseudo-boyfriend . Tennant quickly develop he similar style in loud and snide comment as eccelston do last year . however , he add another side of humor which be more physical and serious than Eccelston . Piper be pretty much herself and the mother character be more hilarious and kookier than Rose 's sweet nature . Insecure Mickey be a great contrast to Piper 's commanding tone . episode fit nicely one after the other . favorite episode be list below and Doctor who Confidential be on the last disc for behind the scene . \* rise of Cybermen -lrb- Part 1 -rrb- \* age of steel -lrb- part 2 -rrb- \* New Earth \* Girl in Fireplace \* impossible planet -lrb- part 1 -rrb- \* Satan 's pit -lrb- part 2 -rrb- here be a listing of we favorite heros\/villans . \* cybermen - still the same but interesting storyline \* Daleks - slightly upgrade with levitation power -lrb- I prefer the rolling droid -rrb- \* k-9 - robot dog from the Tom Baker year \* Sarah Jane - from the 3rd & 4th doctor series \* Jackie - Rose 's mom and also cougar who prey on young lad and the Doctor \* mickey\/ricky - Rose 's buddy and parallel universe `` Mickey '' also , here be the last couple of episode before actor Tennant regenerate to actor Matt Smith .

I be a little hesitant when David Tennant take over as the doctor but he be prove to be a great incarnation of the character . the struggle they give Rose concern he at the beginning of this season really deepen she character and for you old Dr. who fan , there be a surprise visit by one of the past `` assistant '' that even I , not be a fan of the old series , appreciate . and as for the season finale , all I can say be WOW ! it be heart-wrenching ! oh , what a bitter sweet end to a great season . you be eye will not be dry at the end of this one ! +790 Movies_TV POS 5 very well do - it bring back childhood memory from long ago . +793 Movies_TV POS 4 good quality . daughter enjoy it . happy with the way it be ship . +114 Movies_TV POS 5 will SMITH play Robert Dean , a D.C.

JON VOIGHT -lrb- Pearl Harbor -rrb- and REGINA KING also have great performance . the story be awesome and well think provoke ! I totally recommend this action thriller for fan of well think out , and well do movie ! like the negotiator , enemy of the state should be add to the great suspense film list ! all thumb should be up for this mind twist thriller ! '' - mjv & the Movies . +907 Movies_TV POS 5 all I can say be WOW !!! I order this movie 2 day ago and its here ! the movie be exactly what I expect ! thank you ! +614 Movies_TV POS 4 I be a very big fan of most of Disney 's work . the company have , for the most part , put out wonderful product on the movie screen , on the page , and on compact disc and dvd . the one place that I find Disney to be weak be in the direct-to-dvd sequel department . the show on these disc be rarely up to par with they cinematic counterpart . very few of they be worthy of purchase . one that be , however , be `` Cinderella III-A twist in Time . '' it be a wonderful sequel to the Disney classic in which the wicked stepmother get she hand on the fairy godmother 's wand . with it she erase all of the event that lead up to and include the marriage of Cinderella and she Prince Charming . after do this , she make sure that the glass slipper fit she daughter , Anastasia , and eventually trick the prince into want to marry she . with only she mouse friend to help she , Cinderella set out to get the love of she life back . along the way , we get a deeper look into the wicked stepmother and she daughter as well as some of the lesser character from the original tale . I find it hard to believe that this film be a direct-to-dvd sequel . the animation be excellent . all of the voice performance be execute well . most importantly , the story be actually very good . the dvd contain a few special feature include a music video of `` I still Believe '' by Hayden Panetierre , DVD-ROM feature , and a game . overall it be worthy of purchase for fan of Cinderella and the whole Disney `` Princess '' line . purist will just have to get over the fact that Disney do sometimes get it right with they direct-to-dvd fare . +382 Movies_TV POS 4 good flick . I thoroughly enjoy this film . Will Smith and Gene Hackman . wow ! will Smith be bring into the story as a unsuspecting businessman . by accident . this film just take off from the very begin . i be not go to give the story away , but you will not be disappoint if you get this one . +579 Movies_TV POS 5 I be very happy with the product , be as describe and a wonderfull addition to my collection of Disney movie . thank you ! +392 Movies_TV NEU 3 actually buy it for my baby girl . be kind of cute but then again , this be suppose to be for child not adult . I recommend it to all the parent who do have little girl go through the `` princess '' period . +152 Movies_TV POS 5 always a believer in ` Make Believe ' , Peter Pan have be one of my all time favorite . I purchase this for my favorite grandchild , a grandson , Wyatt . I hope he get as many hour , no , year of enjoyment out of watch this delightful movie , and share it with he delightful cousin . the transaction be smooth and quick , as be delivery . thank you ! +81 Movies_TV POS 5 Disney 's Peter Pan be the finest Peter Pan movie ever make . Disney 's animation in this film be very strong , they make never land so beautiful and Captain Hook 's ship look almost real ! this film have very good music . from song to background music . a film all age can endure . this fantastical film begin in London where wendy , John , and Michael 's bedtime story hero , Peter Pan visit they . Peter later invite they on a magical journey to never land . with the help of Tinker Bell , he feisty sidekick , a shower of Pixie dust and some happy thought , Peter teach they how to fly . off they soar to a enchanted island fill with wonder and terror . later they fall into the clutch of Peter 's arch enemy , Captain Hook and he band of pirate . from the stunning scene of the flight to never land , to the underground home of the lose boy , to the stardust ship in the moonlight-peter pan define Disney magic . +874 Movies_TV POS 5 THIS be the type of movie that fill in the gap of what be REALLY GOING ON in OUR GOVERNMENT . I have the VHS and I have to HAVE the dvd . THIS be a classic movie . +545 Movies_TV POS 5 where do you begin on such a awesome mind-blowing season ? even the pedestrian episode , like `` Christmas Invasion '' , `` New Earth '' , `` fear she '' and `` idiot 's Lantern '' be still excellent just by sheer triumph of style alone : for example , watch people ` s face and identity get suck into a tv set . the second season still manage to nicely capture its own newness and the joy a old character rediscover itself , and of a write staff blaze into new territory of storytelling . yes , David Tennant may take some get use to , but he will grow on you quickly . besides , when you have a Queen Victoria and a werewolf `` Tooth and Claw '' episode , there be no time to hold grudge . Everything work marvelously this season -- there be a Sarah Jane Smith reunion with the doctor in `` School Reunion '' , as well as a gorgeous period piece -lrb- one of the all-time best write episode in my opinion -rrb- with `` the Girl in the Fireplace '' it have a fairytale-like quality with the way the doctor appear in Madame de Pompadour 's fireplace at critical moment in she life . the Cybermen get to make they reappearance in a two-part `` rise of the Cybermen '' \/ `` the age of steel '' story-their method of create new Cybermen be one of the all-time great horrific moment of the series . `` the impossible planet '' be a great high-concept story that be nicely book end by `` the Satan pit '' which bring you down from the concept -lrb- a lonely planet in a stationary orbit around a black hole -rrb- and into the pit -lrb- as it be -rrb- of a horror . there be also one very offbeat episode , `` love and monster '' that give the doctor and Rose the Rosencranz and Guildenstern treatment by move they to the periphery of the story and focus on the small-time character of Elton instead . the monster be a hoot , especially when he and the doctor finally meet . it all come crash down magnificently with the dalek-cybermen throwdown season end of `` Army of Ghosts '' \/ `` Doomsday '' . this be the episode the Freddy vs. Jason and Alien vs. Predator fan have be wait for and every potential be live up to here with some eye-popping cgus effect and a heart-wrenching farewell between the doctor and Rose . as a product , the overly price -lrb- my one huge complaint -rrb- dvd set adequately satisfy also . there be enough special feature to almost equal out the episode themselves . the commentary I hear -lrb- it be pretty hard to listen to watch a episode again all over -rrb- be pretty relax . I dig the in-vision commentary ... but do not explore this until you have actually see and enjoy the episode , because it be really distracting otherwise . in all , this be probably the best 13 or so hour of sci-fus and storytelling that have be on television and dvd in a long while . as for season 3 ... +72 Movies_TV NEU 3 Amazon prompt I to write a review . the promise arrival date have pass , and the TARDIS be tardy ! only one day pass at this point . I be a patient person . +672 Movies_TV NEG 2 my daughter really like this movie but we have to have many reminder that woman arent `` easy to trick when they be jealous '' and that native american do not act like they do in the movie . I do not like censorship of any kind but in this day and age I cant just let this movie be see without a discussion of `` fantasy vs. reality '' . if you want to have this in you collection , by all means do so , it be a classic story , and in defense of Disney , Barrie be a notorious mysogenist , however , a discussion of stereotype would be a nice way to offset this sometimes mean-spirited movie . +620 Movies_TV NEG 1 this movie should be toss out , just as `` song of the South '' be . I be not sure what to say when my daughter ask why the native American be call himself the `` red man . '' in addition , Tinkerbell be portray as a sexualized , vindictive , jealous female stereotype from another era . we may have to throw this one away . +836 Movies_TV POS 5 I love blu ray ever since I buy and you cant get any better picture or thrill in any other system like the blu ray . I fully recommend this movie for a action thriller . +307 Movies_TV POS 5 I recieve the movie within 2 day and it play great no scratch or skip , my family love it . +507 Movies_TV POS 4 enemy of the state be a awesome movie . Will Smith and Gene Hackman be excellent together . what I really like about the movie be that most of the minor character have be in other popular movie recently . I seem to recognize almost everybody . especially Jamie Kennedy from Scream , and Seth Green -lrb- who be not even in the credit -rrb- who have do many movie recently like Austin Powers 1 & 2 and can not hardly wait . it be also good to see that gene Hackman be not the only veteran actor in this movie . Jon Voight play he usual villain role and do a amazing job , as usual . overall , enemy of the state keep you interested from start to finish . a must see for action\/suspense movie fan . +31 Movies_TV POS 5 excellent . great idea of special feature include a read-along with script below . wonderful for early reader . stupendous to be able to obtain for child all one 's childhood favorite in the ORIGINAL , not some politically correct version which insult one 's intelligence . +36 Movies_TV POS 4 I like every other american teenager grow up with Cinderella . she be and still be my favorite Disney character . the 3rd in the series be certainly entertaining and very charming . it be not the same as the first but almost as good . anyone look at Cinderella 2 do not waste you time . +243 Movies_TV NEG 1 this be the second set of Dr who Series two that I order -lrb- after return the first due to a bad dvd -rrb- and there be a bad dvd in this set as well . will return and order a third set . +421 Movies_TV POS 5 we order this for we granddaughter - arrive almost immediately . great service - I would definitely order from they again +228 Movies_TV POS 5 Cinderella III be the latest Disney direct-to-dvd feature film and the final chapter of one of Disney 's most celebrated fairytale . in part iii , Lady Tremaine , Cinderella 's evil stepmother , finally get she revenge by steal the Fairy Godmother 's magic wand and magically turn back time to prevent Cinderella from wear the glass slipper , so Cinderella and she mouse friend Gus and Jaq battle back from a perilous fate to return back to she Prince Charming . the special feature include a Fairy Godmother magic wand game , a Princess music video juke box , and a special sneak peek of the Disney Princess Enchanted tale dvd series . Cinderella III be one of the best Disney Princess dvd 's to be enjoy be everyone . +861 Movies_TV POS 5 this movie rock ! I have and can draw from it very well . Tink have a great attitude and yeah , she deserve Peter alot more than wendy do ! this movie be almost tie but still second to the Road to Eldorado in my favorite . thanx for take the time to read my review kel +159 Movies_TV NEG 2 I will not lie . it be be over six year since I have actually see this movie . back then I do not like it . I still do not . but now , I have realize something : there be symbolism in this movie . you see , Peter Pan represent a certain someone . who , you ask ? come closer . now , we all know that the character Tinkerbell be model after , -lrb- or at least draw to the likeness of -rrb- , Marilyn Monroe . coincidence ? I do not think so . can you guess who Pan be yet ? oh-kay , Peter Pan stand for John F. Kennedy - you know , irresponsible , young , womanize , etc. . do not believe I ? look at Pan ! he be dress in green , the color of the Irish . he associate with not one , not two , but three woman in this film . sound like JFK to I . wendy stand as the voice of reason , Jackie . Captain Hook , of course , be Lee Harvey Oswald , and that alligator ... or crocodile ... thing , be Jack Ruby . Odd , be not it ? Well , I hope you have enjoy this little essay ... or review ... or ... ah , whatever . +512 Movies_TV POS 4 I ` ve have see this movie in a theater back in 1998 . it ` s surprise I , how strong this movie be and be the best produce film from Jerry Bruckheimer -lrb- Beverly Hills cop , the Rock , that be two of he best produce film also -rrb- . the plot : a successful attorney from Washington D.C. name Robert Clayton Dean -lrb- Will Smith -rrb- who find without he knowledge be give a video by he friend -lrb- Jason Smith -rrb- , he see briefy and die . in that video have a murder of a top political elderly man -lrb- a unbilled Jason Roberts -rrb- and the man who be corrupted national security agency -lrb- Jon Voight -rrb- . now Dean ` s normal life be after by a lethal team of skilled NSA surveillance team , they be ruthless and will do everything to complete thier mission until a mystery man -lrb- gene Hackman -rrb- help Dean to finish the NSA to destory they and restord the life of Dean use to have . dvd ` s have excellent widescreen transer -lrb- 2.35:1 -rrb- format and Superb Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround be excellent .

I like the product and I appreciate the seller 's quick delivery and careful packaging . +331 Movies_TV POS 5 I be so in love with this movie , as be my kids-i watch pan as a kid myself and to this day never get bore watch it again and again . along with the classic Disney Princess movies-Pan be one of Disney 's greatest . even the sequel `` return to Neverland '' be close in comparison . it make every boy want to be pan and every little girl want to be Tink !!! +597 Movies_TV POS 5 it take I a bit to warm up to David Tennant as the Doctor , have just see he in `` secret smile '' on BBC America , in which he play a highly disturbing psychopath - quite effectively . and be a huge fan of Christopher Eccleston , I have to say , the transition be tough . but I will say , this second season be excellent ! the writing be fantastic and the story be superb . as a life-long fan of the classic series , I be so happy to see they pull the doctor out of the caricature that he become at the end of the classic series with the new series , both one and two . heck , who be I kid ?!? I be just happy to see the doctor back on the telly ! I have miss he ! +667 Movies_TV POS 5 when Doctor who return to we screen in 2005 , even for the disinterested , it be probably the british tv event of the year . for the die hard fan , it be a dream come true . finally the BBC be give it the profile , the budget , the schedule and the kudos that they feel it have always deserve . Russell T. Davis have reinvent a classic tv icon and make it even more exciting than ever and Christopher Eccleston bring a new edge to the world 's longest run sci-fi tv hero . but before the first season have even run its course , Eccleston be go . never explain why , after the huge relaunch , the BBC be already have to recast the role , run the risk of lose everything they would build up in such a short space of time . thankfully , -lrb- unlike so many time in the 1980 's -rrb- the production team make a truly inspire decision to cast David Tennant in the role of the doctor and keep the new find dynamism on track . here be the complete first season of Tennant 's stint as the Time Lord from Gallifrey , which I personally hope will be the first of many . he really have take the role to heart and develop a truly engaging and charismatic doctor - one that be on a par with the great Tom Baker for sure and outdo many other who have take the role in the past . all 14 episode be include , start with the hour-long 2005 Christmas special , follow by the 13 45-minute episode from the spring of 2006 . there be many fan of course who be not particularly enamored of the new approach to they favorite time traveler . it be fair to say that the whole concept have become rather ` soapy ' . it be certainly no stretch to see that Eastenders seem to have a big influence over the style of the new direction . whereas it bring a edge of reality to the series to flesh out the life and emotion of the doctor and he companion , it have to be say that in this particular season , that emotion be be somewhat overplay . Sarah-Jane Smith be back at the Doctor 's side in ` School Reunion ' after have be dump from the TARDIS back in 1976 . it be great to see Elisabeth Sladen back on form , but from a continuity point , it be not really true to the original series . Sarah-Jane do already meet up with the doctor again , back in the 1983 20th anniversary special , the five doctor , and the hurt and despair explore now ignore that particular narrative completely . every episode seem to have some emotional turmoil between the Doctor 's current companion , Rose , and the Time Lord himself , which seem to always be edge they towards at least a romantic relationship , if not a full-blown sexual one . after a while , it seem this sub-text be always get in the way of the main narrative of each story . even the long await and definitely overdue clash between the Doctor 's two most famous enemy , the Daleks and the Cybermen , be eventually push into the background to develop more of the doctor\/rose relationship . it be not necessarily a bad thing , it be just overplay . I for one would like to see less of Rose 's emotion and those of she family and hopefully in the 2007 season , new character will be handle differently . there be fewer extra than be include on the Eccleston season release , possibly to accommodate the extra episode . the short interim piece show on the BBC 's Children in Need charity telethon be include and there be a commentary for each story , often with on-screen visual . a sixth disc include the accompany Doctor who Confidential , behind the scene documentary , but there be little else . it be still a great package nonetheless . I hope the rumor of David Tennant 's departure during the 2008 season be false . he be such a great doctor ; it would be a shame to lose he . but so far , most of the rumor about the series that have do the round have all pretty much turn out to be true . still , they move effortlessly from Eccleston to Tennant , so presumably they can do the same again . in the meantime , here be some wonderful Doctor who to enjoy again . +65 Movies_TV POS 5 this movie be a great buy for both Will Smith fan , and conspiracy theorist . this be a action movie that keep move , keep you interested , and bring up some important social issue . +480 Movies_TV POS 5 my granddaughter be delighted with she movie of Peter Pan , and watch it everyday I be tell ! it come on time and in mint condition . uncomplicated shopping . I be pleased . +445 Movies_TV POS 5 I see this movie on a full home-dvd home cinema set and it be awesome . this movie will not let you be bore for a single second . ton of action an suspense . will keep you on the edge of you seat throughout the whole movie . +460 Movies_TV POS 5 there be four class of Disney film : the classic -lrb- Snow White , Pinocchio , sleep beauty -rrb- , the good film -lrb- Robin Hood , Alice in Wonderland -rrb- , the Yawners , or unremarkable film -lrb- the Aristocats , the sword in the Stone -rrb- , and the failure -lrb- the black cauldron -rrb- . basically , all but the last class be one that be enjoyable , and only the first two class be worthy of be hail as `` classic '' by the Disney marketing machine . Peter Pan fall distinctly in the second class , the `` good '' film . great villain -lrb- both hook and the crocodile -rrb- , great hero , and great story , but just shy of be perfect in the execution in a few place . still , it be a classic Disney film , and `` good '' for Disney be a perfect feature for all but a few animation studio . this edition have a decent amount of extra , include a commentary track -lrb- which I have not listen to -rrb- , and making-of featurette . all in all , this be about as good as it get for a Disney release outside of the platinum edition . if you can find it , make every effort to buy it . +561 Movies_TV POS 5 really enjoyable movie . not as good as the first but we enjoy it as a sequel . my 3 yo daughter love it and the music . +681 Movies_TV POS 5 absolutely fantastic ! a season even better than the first , David Tennant really show why he be the best doctor of all time . from the exciting beginning to the heart break finally , season 2 be amazing ! present in a gorgeous box in widescreen format , these dvd 's be a must have for any fan +320 Movies_TV NEU 3 I have try Hemalayaa 's older video , she yoga for Urban live & Dosha Yoga & feel though she have good intention , she do not have enough body awareness to be teach something that be focus on have that ability & cultivate it further . she be good that she video overall would keep someone who do not work out regularly heart rate up . since this be just dancing , I figure this might be she strength , but I be wrong . the menu choice include : Intro , Play , Chapters , Bonus Performances , Music Options -lrb- music only , music w\/narration -rrb- , & other video from Acacia . the other video clip be Hemalayaa 's Yoga for young body for 1:30 , Yoga Trance Dance :30 , Duncan Wong : awaken level :30 -lrb- he be awesome -rrb- , the Elaine Petrone Method 9:44 -lrb- have a lot of video testimonial -rrb- the Bonus Performance be same music show hemalayaa w\/two girl in slow motion fade in\/out clip of they dance for almost 3 min , then hemalayaa alone for 3 min w\/paused video , slow mo , double video effect , etc. to make the dancing look better then it be & you can not follow along with this either . in the intro , Hemalayaa say be from Bangra , which be from Northern India dance -lrb- big , bold , sassy , & outrageous -rrb- & incorporate modern dance , hip-hop , even belly dancing . the 2 backup dancer be Juju & Kimberly -lrb- who be also the stage director & consultant -rrb- . in the credit , these dancer be dead last which be very unusual . the chapter be : warming -lrb- 6 min -rrb- , Playtime begin -lrb- 7 min -rrb- , footwork -lrb- 6 min -rrb- , now we be hot ! -lrb- 8 min -rrb- , ground Play -lrb- 6 min -rrb- , playful Dance -lrb- 5 min -rrb- , Cook it now ! -lrb- 9 min -rrb- the set be gorgeous , with color & texture , the music be fun , but it be loop after a few seconds & get annoying after a while want to hear the rest of the song . one of the dancer do not know when the next move be herself many time which be annoying & show they do not practice enough . the voice over cuing be ok , she do not really break anything down , or really give any body movement instruction to help you understand how to move , but since easy move , it be not so bad . she just tell you to `` get down , let go , get sassy , dance like no one 's watch '' throughout . at the playful dance portion where she be alone , she narrate kinda a routine , but very repetitious . she have you do a goddess move where you move forward toward the tv push one hip out lead ... then do a literal hip-hop run man -lrb- move backwards -rrb- though she do it in a more simplified\/corny style & alternate those . she say it be natural they go together & `` the run man be run away . . actually he be run fwd toward the goddess ... '' which make no sense . there be some good one , but very few . I get bore with the repetition . you will get you heart rate up since she incorporate a lot of hop ... like hop 3x in a row to one side , hop & wiggle you glut , then the other many time or other move like a pony from the 50s in a indian style or other move that have knee lift . the idea be there , but I still do not like Hemalayaa 's style or think she ability to dance be good enough to be teaching . I find myself follow the background dancer who know the routine instead . if you want a hybrid indian dance that be corny , silly & help you let go because it be easy & silly , this be for you . you can see a preview at the distributer Acacia com +952 Movies_TV POS 5 rest in PIECE sir tony , DIRECTOR of ENEMY of the state . HOLLYWOOD have lost a genius of a filmmaker . so proud to be a fan and to OWN all he film . +918 Movies_TV NEU 3 I be speak as a true Disney movie fan . I love they all . I be a grow up man -lrb- over the age of 18 -rrb- . I see this movie by myself , even though the Internet Movie Database have bad review . here be what the movie be about : Cinderella 's stepmother get the wand from Anastasia , who get it when it slip out of the Fairy Godmother 's hand . she learn the magic word , `` Bippity Boppity Boo . '' Anastasia 's mother , Cinderella 's evil and selfish stepmother , pocket the wand after turn back time so that she may have Anastasia be the one to live the `` happily ever after '' life with the Prince in place of Cinderella . now I now that this be a Disney movie , but Cinderella be really put to the test here . at one point , she even have to face death itself . be true love worth face death ? what do Lucifer the Cat look like when he be human ? where be the Fairy Godmother during all this ? will the Prince ever find he true love , or be he true love now Anastasia ? sorry , I will say no more here . have to watch the movie to find out . oh , and if you enjoy this movie , than look forward to `` the little mermaid iii , '' come in November of 2007 . Gotta Jet . Bippity-Boppity-Out ! +789 Movies_TV POS 4 I really enjoy watch this with my daughter -lrb- I be a dad -rrb- . I be a science-fiction and time-travel fan , so when I see a ad for this , I say `` we have to get it '' . Disney do a excellent job with the story , but for child younger than say , 7 or 8 , parent may need to explain thing along the way . but it be a good introduction to `` time travel '' for little mind . that say , I be amaze when the original `` slipper '' sequence be re-animate for this to include the change ! after have see Cinderella nearly 100 time -lrb- not kid ! -rrb- , it be odd see the sequence play out differently . I almost suspect that Disney do this story as a inside joke for all of we parent who have have to watch the original Cinderella countless time . the animation be great -- the plot be enjoyable . they even add some depth to the character of the Prince and King . even Anastasia and Drizella become somewhat more real and likeable ... if that be possible . I be not sure it have a lot of replay value -- surely not as much as the original Cinderalla . my daughter do not ask to watch it , but if prompt with this as a choice , she sometimes select it . overall , it be enjoyable -- watch it together ! +373 Movies_TV NEU 3 I actually like this sequel better after a couple of viewing . it do not really grab I the first time around , and my wife think that it rely too much on slapstick -lrb- like the silly food fight -rrb- . some of the song be pretty good but , overall , it be not on the same level as movie like Brother Bear . now for the reaction of the audience that really count in we household : we three-year old likes it a lot ; the two-year old be so-so on Cinderella III at first , but now , like I , she enjoy it as well . the story line be adequately describe elsewhere , so I see no need to repeat it , nor do I see the need to explain how I think it could have be do better . -lrb- but if you want to see a excellent non-animated version of the Cinderella story , check out `` ever after - a Cinderella Story '' with Drew Barrymore . in `` ever after '' you get a even deeper sense of the great injustice do to Cinderella by the evil stepmom . -rrb- perhaps Cinderella III merit 4 star for its entertainment value and , while that be basically all that these movie be about -- entertainment , I just do not think it be quite 4 star , and I reserve 5 star for movie , even animated one , that also contain a meaningful message . sure , Cinderella have a little more spunk in this sequel , but all she be fight for be to get marry to she true love -lrb- someone who she actually know very little about -rrb- . she be not fight for any moral principle that I would like my daughter to recognize and repect . -lrb- add note : -lrb- 1 -rrb- while I fully respect they opinion , I disagree rather strongly with those reviewer who see Cinderella in the original version as a placid character who generate little emotional interest for the viewer . think about she situation : after she father 's death , she be make a servant in she own home -lrb- ! -rrb- and she be completely under the control of the evil stepmom . to whom could she turn for help ? no one . and yet , she face each day with spirit and renew hope , and she respond with emotion appropriate to the abuse that be heap upon she . again , if you do not know child who have have to endure abusive home environment , count yourself lucky and just watch `` Cinderella - ever after '' to get a glimpse at what life must have be like for Cinderella . 2 -rrb- all of these movie review be simply someone 's opinion , and I find they all helpful . whether the reviewer say `` thumb up '' or `` thumb down '' , the comment give I a feel for the movie . from the high number of `` not helpful 's '' give to a lot of the review that rate Cinderella III and similar movie less than stellar , I be leave to wonder if the rater be simply express they disagreement with the review 's opinion . -rrb- +548 Movies_TV POS 5 I get this dvd since the storyline sound pretty interesting . I do not expect to really enjoy the movie since the other Disney sequel ... well ... suck . the song be not that long and ` lame ' but actually pretty cute . Cinderella fight back , Gus and Jacques be even cuter , and not to mention the Prince have a funny sense of humor ! he have character ! I really enjoy this movie and people should at least rent it before think it be another stupid Disney sequel ... +959 Movies_TV NEG 1 \*\*\* spoilder \*\*\* below warning . it start off with cinderellum 's foot which do not look the same as in the original movie , kind of disgust in my opinion . when she talk about herself , blah blah , it be just not cinderellish , she be full of herself !!!!!!!!!! Prince do not look the same , he neck be too fat and it seem he skin tone change it almost every scene . they speech be too `` modern '' and annoying , do not give it a authentic feel at all . the step sister be WAY TOO GOOFY , unrealistic , I mean they can hardly walk two step without flop over , too silly . Anastasia be way too stupid and she be apologize for every little thing she do , it just do not make any sense , in the first movie they be all equally rude , even as child they be selfish little brat and now she just look like a big goof ! the step mother be always mean but here the part when she get the wand be go overboard , it be like she be a villian or witch ... too much drama in that part `` call on all the force of the universe ??! '' duh . Anastasia 's foot be HUGE , and then she kiss it and jump around the room , this be go overboard , a girl in that era would not act this way at ALLLLLLL !! Cinderella 's comment after she step mother leave be just weird , and then that uncatchy song and run out into the field . very uncreative and dramatic , these tune be all so similar in all the disney movie today and so annoying !! at the palace : how on earth do she get to the palace before the rest arrive ??? the prince work out with he father in the `` pink '' gym and you would think he be a circus boy after perfome those high rise stunt , never would have expect that from he . the part when prince charming have to apologize to they sound so cheap , he enter the room and it be like he do not notice the girl ISN `` t cinderellum . . and how anastasium introduce herself as a jerkess then it turn into a bit of a circus after he propose . the whole `` spell thing '' be just like in the little mermaide . if you look closely she put the ring on the left hand then admire it and it be on she right hand . Cinderella finally find the prince : it be like she be make a fool of herself , she little giggle and she sound EXACTLY like the princess May from Mulan , terrible . the head maid drag cinderellum away look so degrading , the whole `` meeting '' be cheesy . now when the step mother and sister be show into the room with the large cake this scene be a absoloutely rediculous !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a mess when the king meet the bride-to-be who be in a aweful disgusting state . unbelievable ! now Anastasia and the prince practice dancing , why on earth do she have to wear she `` one '' glass slipper ??? the step mother seem to have so much influence in the palance once she `` move in '' when the king give the queen shell to anastasia he sound like a old indian chief or something , the voice just do not seem to fit the part . `` I dooooooooo '' practice by anastasium be TOO MUCH , and I wonder why she have such a nice singing voice , do not seem to go together , plus suddenly she can dance so gracefully . . remember the first movie when the two sister practice singing '' sing sweet nightangale '' they sound AWEFUL so what bring such a change ? so unrealistic . Cinderella struggle to say the magic word once she have the wand in she hand , stupid !!! Prince 's reaction after hear the true story from the mouse be a little calm , you would think he would have a bit of a more worried reaction and not take it so lightly . . he be a cross between Eric from little mermaid and zoro rid off on the horse . now cinderellum be tell to get on the shop , she shoe and foot while step up onto the ship look really fat and ugly . . totally aweful animation . on the ship she look like Jane Wendy 's daughter from peterpan . she bang be all fray and she look like 13 year old . now the prince ride off behind the ship and once he jump onto the ship he be look a lot like a Zoro , even he skin tone be darker if you compare it to when they show the dream of he and cinderellum dancing at the ball . also what with the hand palm thingy , look like something from TARZAN !! Notice cinderellum 's fray bang and hair , once she hug and swing around with the prince she hair start to turn back into perfect form . now thing calm down a bit and you think its go to end ... hold on to you seat , it be not over yet ! Cinderella be rest near the king once prince bring she back to the palance , notice in the first scene she have she hair nice and out , then when the servent come to tell the king that they be not able to find the step mother and sister cinderella now have she hair tie back with a blue ribbon , then in the following scene she hair be back to be out without a ribbon , STUPID , pay attention to detail disney , HELLO . what be with bride prepare themselves ? this scene remind I of mulan get ready for she wedding with mushu on top of the closet , really strange . the pumpkin just have to be include in the movie somehow , honestly I find this scene where cinderellum get stuck inside quite scary and gross . ok she make she escape and if you pause the scene right when she be on the horse look at the castle in the distance notice she foot , it be huge ! even she hand look huge . Disney , DETAILS ! Cinderella savagly rid all the way to the palace while the wedding be ongoing , the priest look like something from star war , freaky . - ok , cinderellum appear , break up the ceremony , step mother be shout at anastasium and once she start use the magic it be like prince just step in there use he sword to divert the magic away from cinderellum , it look so lame and he facial expression be not heroic or anything . note cinderellum 's hairdo , it be tie up high in a bun , however when she be prepare for the wedding it be low behind she neck , kind of strange . I do not like the fairy 's voice in the end , it sound so squeaky . now after the credit and the little `` photo '' which show some really goofy one once you reach the last one with the heart frame rose and cinderellum and the prince in the middle notice they hand , I think they go just a bit too far with this !!! +930 Movies_TV POS 5 the product come quickly , and in good repair . the disc themselves be unscratched , and the box be in decent condition . all part be include ! even the little booklet guide ! +198 Movies_TV NEG 1 I recently buy Disney 's Peter Pan dvd for my 3 year old son . I be a very protective parent and do not allow my kid to watch just any kind of programming . be Disney the reputed company that it be and give that be have a `` g '' rating , I blindly let my son watch this movie with its spanish audio track , since my kid speak spanish only . to my surprise , it be full of racial slur against native Americans and violent language content . it seem that Disney have edit the English audio track to make it `` politically correct '' and eliminate offensive content , while not do so in the spanish track . for example , in the scene where the kid and Peter Pan be talk about have happy thought , little boy John say -lrb- in the English track -rrb- : `` I think I 'll be a indian brave '' , while in the spanish track it say : `` yo muchos indios voy a matar '' -lrb- `` I be go to kill lot of Indians '' -rrb- . this be just a example of a array of violent language content include in this dvd . I lose count of how many time the word `` kill '' come up in this movie . no surprise that now my 3 year old be go around say `` I be go to kill you '' to anyone . this be a outrage and I wonder why English speak kid deserve to be protect from this kind of language , and spanish speaking kid do not . this be a terrible , terrible mistake . Disney be a company for kid everywhere in the world , no matter what language they speak . I be now weary of buy additional Disney movie for my son . as a mother I be deeply surprised , disappointed , and sadden by this fact . +136 Movies_TV POS 4 it be easier to judge Walt Disney 's 1953 animated adaptation of James Barrie 's `` Peter Pan '' for what it be ; rather than for what it be not . what the film get right , it get spectacularly right . animation be , indeed , the best medium to capture the magical aspect of the story . the sequence where Peter Pan , Wendy , John , and Michael fly from London to Never-Land be stunning . it be almost immediately apparent why `` Peter Pan '' be one of the finest Disney film of the 1950 's . the film gain much of its appeal from the excellent vocal performance of Bobby Driscoll -lrb- Peter Pan -rrb- , Hans Conreid -lrb- Mr. Darling and Captain Hook -rrb- , Kathryn Beaumount , -lrb- Wendy -rrb- and Bill Thompson -lrb- Mr. Smee -rrb- . the story have plenty of action and adventure , and move along at a brisk pace . the depiction of the Indians as caricature instead of character be painfully , politically incorrect . but one must remember the era in which this film be make . it would be decade before Cathy Rigby 's stage revival of `` Peter Pan '' would correct this sticky situation . but , as the stage and animated film be completely different medium , the point be moot . the Disney version of `` Peter Pan '' be a artistic triumph . it be often delightful , but it be only about fun and game in Never-Land . while Disney capture the magic and fantasy brilliantly , he never grasp the darker , psychologically complex aspect of the story . the Disney version capture Peter Pan as the spirit of youth , joy , and freedom , but lack the emotional depth of Barrie 's original story . the great villain Captain Hook clearly represent the `` adult , father figure '' who must be destroy because he be a threat to all the fun and game . there be no romantic tension between Peter Pan and Wendy . there be no acknowledgement of Peter 's lonliness or the thing he will never have . at the end of Barrie 's play , Peter Pan return to the nursery and discover wendy be now a grown-up adult . Disney completely ignore Barrie 's end , and all of its bittersweet implication . the dvd feature a excellent audio commentary by the late Roy Disney , -lrb- Walt 's nephew -rrb- , film critic Leonard Maltin , several of the animator , Margaret Kerry -lrb- the model for the hot-tempered , jealous pixie Tinker Bell -rrb- , Kathryn Beaumount -- and even some surprising comment from Walt Disney himself . the short featurette `` the make of Peter Pan '' and the longer documentary `` the Peter Pan that almost be '' , be especially informative and entertaining . the brief life of Bobby Driscoll , more tragic than magic , be a sad footnote to `` Peter Pan . '' Driscoll , who receive a special academy award for he role in the suspense-thriller `` the window '' , make immeasurable contribution to the success of Disney 's `` song of the South '' , `` so Dear to my Heart '' , `` Treasure Island '' and `` Peter Pan . '' after he Disney contract be drop -lrb- the same month , incidentally , that `` Peter Pan '' be release -rrb- , Driscoll descend into drug addiction and spend some time in prison . Driscoll die in 1968 , alone and peniless , at the age of 31 . of he movie career , Driscoll remark , `` I be carry on a satin pillow ... and then dump into the garbage . '' magic and happiness , it often seem , exist only in the movie . +240 Movies_TV POS 5 a classic disney film with superb special feature and special audiio commentary by disney pioneer ... this be a animation gem with good song and simple yet engaging plot ... but slow style story tell . : -rrb- watch it ... +3 Movies_TV POS 5 this sequal be wonderful . the animation be excellent , though other may comment that it be not correct to the original style . I hate to be the one to point this out , but we be no longer in the 50 's decade . animation have come a long way since then , so of course it will look sharper . from a artist 's standpoint , there be such subtly and depth to each scene that , storyline aside , it be delightful to watch - especially character reaction . as for the story , it be clean -lrb- which be a rarety in and of itself -rrb- as well as entertaining . the plot take a fun twist on what would happen if the wand be in another 's hand and really try to prove that even without magical assistance , Cinderella could still hold she own . and be not that what the 50 's version be attempt to point out as well ? I do not think this movie detract from the original , but instead be a fun , relax form of entertainment . however , to be fair , the only part I find irritating be the change in the mouse 's diction . that be the only change that I find annoying enough to mention . that aside , it be nice to see a woman fight for she dream and get they - and a prince with a personality to boot ! so I would recommend this movie to those who just want a clean , fun , and intelligent source of entertainment for themselves as well as they child . +595 Movies_TV POS 4 this be a movie about a fake mission go bad . . all of the rouble in this movie be a test , for some secret government agency which put Will Smith and he friend & family at risk . . this movie have action and great high tech gadget ... +977 Movies_TV POS 4 both my kid -lrb- 3 & 8 -rrb- love this movie - they laugh out loud . maybe not as good as the original , but still worth the money . +383 Movies_TV POS 5 unless you want to know everything that happen in the new series , do not read these review . just buy it and enjoy . +627 Movies_TV NEU 3 I have not have time to unwrap this item yet , much less watch it , but I be sure it be very good . +449 Movies_TV POS 5 this be a outstanding movie , with a indepth storyline and more plot than most people can follow . I love this movie more any Will Smith film I have see . it still contain enough of he unique style of humor to remain original , but it certainly be not a comedy . this movie be worth every cent that I pay to add to my personal collection . +244 Movies_TV POS 5 this video should be second in the series and the second should be third from the way it flow . however , even with that small complaint , this be a great video . the animation be well do , the story line be adorable . my daughter and I have enjoy sit on the couch watch this together many time over . it be well worth the money . +972 Movies_TV POS 5 Cinderella have always be my all-time favorite Disney movie , I do not think they would ever make another better than the original , but I be wrong . Cindy 3 top the first one . it be a eye catcher from start to finish ! +785 Movies_TV POS 5 the workout be fun and although I be a advanced exerciser I enjoy the video . she constantly tell the viewer to move at they own pace if she be too fast . therefore , beginner can move on they own and do the easy base move she provide . if you be advance , you can also enjoy a great 40 minute workout on day that you do not want to really push it . that be what I use this video for . it be just enough cardio . +962 Movies_TV POS 5 some old enemy be back and present with twist all the way ! Dr who fan will be pleased ! +135 Movies_TV NEG 1 this workout do offer some cardio benefit . it also do introduce you to some basic Bhangra step . it be not a serious workout or dance video .

I find Wendy 's voice as irritating as usual , but I definitely find it familiar , so I be probably still remember it from when I be young . Peter be never a favorite character of mine and like Walt Disney himself , I find it to be really cold and quite unlikable . this be a must for collector , with the usual special feature , although if you find yourself bore during the game , that be because they be aim at kid . not we old one . unless you fancy try the 9x9 suduko - I could not do it . the next special edition be the jungle book , out in the autumn , not particularly another favorite of mine , but I be still look forward to it . +466 Movies_TV POS 5 I have always enjoy this movie ever since I be a child . I have a copy of it on VHS but the dvd be much better quality and sharper . they really do not have to put it on a two Disc dvd , because I feel noone ever watch the second one . but that be ok , I be just glad that I order it and will be able to pass it down to my grandchild ... +267 Movies_TV NEG 2 for a suspense movie , it be not very suspensful . Will Smith play a poor character , with a weak support cast . the plot be good , but poorly execute . maybe worth a rental , but I would not buy it . +690 Movies_TV POS 5 Peter Pan be one of the most entertaining and charming Disney movie ever make . it follow the adventure of wendy , John , and Michael Darling , and of course the boy who never grow up , Peter Pan . Captain Hook be one of the funniest and evil villain ever create and he first mate , Smee , be absolutely hilarious . I have to admit that this movie do not follow the book very much , but be better . the character be so much more lovable in Disney 's tale . now why could not barrie be this imaginative ? a new , live version of Peter Pan recenyly come out . and when I see it I could not help but be disappoint . I miss all of those timeless song , charming character , and humor . Peter be dress as if he come straight from the jungle , and unfortunately it follow the book . I know you may think that sound odd of I to say that I do not like it because it be a accurate adaption , but it be true . so if you want to watch a exciting and classic movie buy this dvd . +845 Movies_TV NEG 1 I order this item from Jennifer Hale on Jan. 1st , but I do not receive it as of February 1 . in addition , no reply to my twice e-mail . I lose money and time . how do I get a refund ? unpleasant . . terrible . . +289 Movies_TV POS 4 everyone know how great this movie be and what a milestone it be for the Disney company , so I will not ramble on about it , but I think it be very important for everyone buy it for the documentary include on the tape to know that it be not on there , so do not waste you time look . I think I have a bad tape , so I call Disney and they tell I that somewhere in editing , they have make a mistake , and forget to put the documentary on the tape . ooops ! avoid the mess and just get the dvd . +430 Movies_TV POS 5 I be sure the movie description write for the product be better than anything I could ever write , so I will just leave it as this be a good movie that I get a great deal on the Blu-Ray . +389 Movies_TV POS 5 in my view this be the single best season of Dr. who . I know that be say a lot - and I know a lot of people would disagree with I . it be pointless to say all the story in Series 2 be great - because virtually all Dr. who episode from all the season be great . I think , more than anything else , it be the character of Rose Tyler that put this season over the top . she be great in Series 1 ; but she be almost sublime in Series 2 . plus , this season contain the single most poignant story in the entire Dr. who repetoire . though I agree with Colin Baker , who reportedly say that `` the empty child '' -lrb- from Series 1 -rrb- be just about the best Dr. who episode ; to I `` the Girl in the fireplace '' from Series 2 be the most poignant . it be far from the best Dr. who ; the alien menace be almost comical in the way that some of the alien from the earliest Dr. who episode be ; and the story line do seem stretch a bit . but there be something so almost magical about the episode , and so unexpectedly sad about the end . you get the feeling that if Dr. who could have choose a true soul-mate from among all the woman he have ever encounter , it would have be this `` Girl in the fireplace . '' and the two-part episode `` the Satan pit '' show the depth of the bond between the doctor and Rose more succinctly than any other episode ; he be willing to place he life entirely in she hand - that be how much he be come to trust she instinct for do the right thing . then the season finale , another two-part episode , bring they relationship full circle . it , too , be one of the most poignant Doctor who episode - and one of the most innovative , pit two of the Doctor 's greatest enemy against themselves as well as against the world . all in all , this season be nearly perfect . +362 Movies_TV POS 5 be a fan of the old series watch the series all the way back to the original pilot , and the uneasy feeling of some of the later episode of the series that do not work then the fail ressurrection movie I be a little bit warry of a new series , but when the sci-fus channel begin to air the episode earlier this year -lrb- albiet in a slightly edit version -rrb- I decide to give it a try . the episode pull you into the story , and make you forget that the fail movie be even there . both doctor be great in they own respects , and David Tennant be definately push he way to the top of my list as my favorite doctor of all time -lrb- even surpass Tom Baker -rrb- . Rose Tyler be the perfect companion , and for those who have yet to see the series even on the sci-fus channel , she be a mix of Jo Grant -lrb- from the old series -rrb- with a little bit of Dawn Summers -lrb- Buffy the Vampire Slayer -rrb- mixed in , to make the series palatable for Buffy fan . the sexual tension that be present between the doctor and Rose be a definate bonus and give the show a almost soap opera feel . while this be something that be cover in minor detail -lrb- esp 3rd Doctor\/Jo Grant ; 4th doctor Sarah Jane ; 5th doctor\/tegan -rrb- in the old series , they be never allow to explore it as much as they seem to be able to in the modern series . the special effect be stunning , and they definately seem to have a higher production quality than the old series . what I also like about the new series be that you do not need to be a fan of the old series to like this series . while the price may be a little steep in the shop for my taste , the slightly lower price on Amazon make it a little bit more palatable . +616 Movies_TV POS 5 I see this movie when it first come out , mainly because Will Smith be such a great actor -lrb- at the time -rrb- . and again , he have another great performance , better than what he have already accomplish in both ` bad boy ' and ` id4 ' combine . so here be the plot : Will Smith play a lawyer who be suddenly throw into a government conspiracy when he be leave with a secret to a death . however , he do not know this . within minute , the goverment realize he have the material , and they try to sabotage he life by falsely accuse he of crime he do not commit . eventually he seek the help of Gene Hackman , a former agent , for assitance to get out of trouble . the film be load with tremendous gadget and special effect . for instance , they talk about how the government can tell the year of a dime sit atop a car from a space satellite . the movie mainly show Will Smith try to escape the agent while they hunt he down . this call for a lot of chasing , and a lot of action , which be film very well by director Tony Scott . if you have see the more recent ` the skull ' , it be a lot like that , but 10 time better . also , the acting be very good in this movie . but to act well , you need a script , and this film deliver it . the line be more than just we classic ` Barney and Friends ' television series . they really have depth , and it add to the film . another great thing about this movie be the actor in it . I watch this movie when it be first release , and at the time , I be 12 year old . I know very few actor . but I see it again -- now that I be 15 -- with a few friend , and we notice all kind of people , many have small role . some include Barry Pepper , who have a rather large role . -lrb- he play in Saving Private Ryan and The Green Mile -rrb- . also , another SPR co-star to appear be Tom Sizemore . in the film , he play a member of the mafia . this might not amaze you , but it certainly add to the film . so watch this movie . no , forget the watch part . buy it first ! +141 Movies_TV POS 4 I be a huge Cinderella fan ; however , Disney dissapoint I with `` Cinderella II , '' so I be leary of `` a twist in Time . '' however despite minor nitpick this film be great for kid , and portray Cinderella as more independent and actually fight against she antagonist . several flaw - the music - `` perfectly perfect perfect year ! '' - gag I . the mouse should not ever sing . +879 Movies_TV POS 5 I just receive the Peter Pan -lrb- Two-Disc platinum edition -rrb- in today 's mail . the dvd be in new condition as promise by the AMAZON Marketplace Merchant m2berra . this be a birthday present for my soon to be 4 year old grandson . I appreciate the timely service and the excellent condition of the dvd . +429 Movies_TV POS 5 I be please with the response . I receive my movie within the time I request +44 Movies_TV POS 5 Disney 's `` Peter Pan '' be one of they most enchantingly delightful animated feature , tell the story of how Peter Pan whisk wendy , John , and Michael off to he home in never land for a magical adventure none of they would ever forget fight Captin Hook and he ruthless band of pirate . although the original 1999 `` limited issue '' dvd lack bonus feature -lrb- with the only one be the option to watch the movie in french -rrb- , fan of the film have be reward for wait with this special edition . the movie look better then it do on any previous release , and that be reason enough to buy this masterpiece . but the extra feature -- oh ! true , this disc pale in comparison to the platinum edition release of `` Snow White '' -lrb- unfortunately `` Peter Pan '' be NOT one of the nine other platinum edition to be issue over the next decade -rrb- but for one disc I would say they do a pretty nice job . `` you can fly : the make of Peter Pan '' be also provide on the 1998 45th anniversary limited edition VHS , but it be worthy of another watch . after see the movie again , start with that , and then see the wonderful 13-minute 1952 promotional featurette `` the Peter Pan Story . '' they be even more exellent when view together . Next , head back to the movie , but turn on the audio commentary this time . host by Roy E. Disney , it provide some really amazing information on the film I never know before . other commentator include Walt Disney himself -lrb- piece together from old interview , etc. -rrb- , some of he Nine Old Men , other vetran animator , Kathryn Beaumont -lrb- who provide Wendy 's voice in the feature -rrb- , and of course note film critic Lenoard Multin , among other . next , take a few minute to examine the vast visiual gallery . wonderful stuff in there for fan and casuial viewer alike . the bonus aim at kid be worth a look too . the best by far be the `` follow the Leader '' sing-along , although it look a bit dull -lrb- not be take from the newly restore version of the film , but a older one -rrb- , and the Pirate Treasure Hunt game be fun , if too easy . the dvd storybook be AWFUL , though , attempt to create a new story out of the animation that be already create for the original movie . if that sound confusing , do not worry , do not bother with the feature . another note : why could not they have put a `` you can fly '' sing along on the disc as well ? there be a Sing along videotape devote to that one as the title tune , so a version do exsist . I ` dve much prefer it over `` follow the Leader , '' but really would have like both . oh well . lastly , there be a new trailer for `` return to never land '' -lrb- not either of the theatrical one ; this one have some really great new footage -rrb- that be worth a look before you go see the movie . and if you buy this before March 31 , you child will get in free -- as a extra bonus , there be one free child 's admission movie ticket for `` return '' inside every special Edition dvd and video . in addition to all this , new trailer show that among other `` Beauty and the beast '' and `` the many adventure of Winnie the Pooh '' will make it to dvd this year -lrb- finally -rrb- in October for the former and May for the latter . great news , I think . plus there be a really cute Disney tv spot call `` Magic happen '' on the second menu of trailer . all in all , this be a wonderful dvd -- much better then the limited issue edition -- and I be glad to own it . something you should not miss ! \*\*\*\*\* -lrb- 5\/5 -rrb- +368 Movies_TV POS 5 I watch this movie when I be younger and I think that it be great that my son will be able to love it as well . he want to watch it all the time now and I be very glad that we could find it for he . +762 Movies_TV POS 5 it be Peter Pan ... it be a classic ! of course it be great ! +978 Movies_TV POS 5 I be so happy I buy this movie and have add it to my Cinderella dvd collection . the story and plot be very fun and just like the title say , a twist ! I always wonder what would happen if Cinderella 's wicked stepmother get the Fairy Godmother 's wand and have she revenge ! all of my favorite Cinderella animal character return and be as cute as ever ! beautiful Cinderella be she gorgeous self , charming be so handsome and dashing as always , and the King and Duke be so funny just like old time ! we even get to see what Charming 's mother look like ! I love this movie ! +974 Movies_TV POS 5 I love Walt Disney 's Peter Pan . I have love it since I be a child , and I still watch it to this day . it be a family classic that teach we not to grow up too quickly and remind we all of the joy of childhood . however , caution should be exercise when allow child to watch this movie . though Peter Pan seem innocent enough at first glance , it contain sexist and patriarchal ideology which can be damage to child . in she textbook critical Theory today , -- which be use in college classroom across the nation -- Lois Tyson write : `` patriarchy be thus , by definition , sexist , which mean it promote the belief that woman be innately inferior to man . '' do we really want we child -- or anyone -- to adopt this belief ? when the animated film come out in 1953 -lrb- and especially when the book be publish in the early 1900 's -rrb- these patriarchal view of traditional gender role be the norm . female be suppose to be submissive to male . if they be not , they be outcaste and\/or reprimand . male be suppose to be the provider and protector , and if they be unable to fulfill these role they be consider failure . a lot have change since then . we have gain new insight and understanding of gender role . no girl should grow up believe that they only option in life be either that of `` wife '' and `` mother '' or `` b \*\*\*\* `` and `` wh \* re , '' and that if they violate a patriarchal norm -- such as express they opinion or refuse to submit to a male -- they be the latter . no boy should grow up believe that if he do not accept a risky challenge he be a failure , or if he display feeling such as love , pain , or fear he be a `` coward '' or a `` sissy . '' Peter Pan lead child to adhere to these oppressive gender role through the action and result of its character : Peter Pan always give the order and expect they to be obey . Princess Tiger Lily and Tinkerbelle have no voice in any matter -- figuratively and literally -- they never speak ! Tinkerbelle represent Peter Pan 's significant other : voiceless and submissive . when she attempt to express she concern over Peter Pan bring home another girl -lrb- wendy -rrb- he promptly banish she . Peter Pan be the provider and the protector . he never back down from a challenge , especially if he reputation be at risk -lrb- such as when Captain Hook lure he into a battle by call he a coward -rrb- . Peter Pan never show fear and he never fail . he be portray as the hero . Captain Hook do show fear , for instance whenever the crocodile be present . he lose all of he battle with Peter Pan , and be then call a `` codfish '' because he be weak and helpless . Captain hook be portray as the antagonist , or the `` bad guy . '' the result implication for male be that : strength , power and success at all endeavor = hero ; display of emotion and unsuccessful attempt = failure and disappointment in all aspect of life . I do not mean to chase anyone off from this movie , but rather to provide a warn to viewer . even if one do not know what feminist criticism be , or the meaning of `` sexist '' and `` patriarchal , '' it be still very possible to internalize the concept subliminally , especially through appeal media , which Peter Pan certainly be . so by all means , watch this movie , but watch it with you and be prepare to follow up with a discussion . +254 Movies_TV NEU 3 the first season of the new Dr. who be great stuff , and Eccleston be a marvellous blend of confidence trickster , scientific genius , and damage goods . the story be also uniformly excellent . the second season see David Tennant take thing in a more flippant direction -- this doctor be a little too blase for my liking , lack in intensity -lrb- save the occasional flash -rrb- and more smart-arsey . he strike I as a guy who know how the script will end , so the danger he face can be wise-cracked about rather fear and counter in desperation . self-referential humor , with a hint that everyone know it be just a tv show , might be fine for Monty Python or Ali G , but it be get no place in Dr. who . Tennant be skirt dangerously close the 1960 `` Batman . '' the second doctor , Patrick Troughton , be also jokey and humorous , but he never leave you think he be just a good actor in silly clothes act in a silly kid ' program . Tennant almost , but not quite , leave that impression . I do not like it . some of the story be also weak : the werewolf particularly so -lrb- what be they , what do they want , why do the come to earth -- no idea -rrb- , but also the coronation-day invasion by talk tv . formulaic , one could say . however , the Cybermen be excellent , and the double episode about the ood be also terrific . so this be solid Dr. who , but not the best . one hope season three will improve , particularly if tennant drop he shoulder-shrugging stand-up routine . and we can hope for some old monster 's back -- come on , BBC , what about give we some ice warrior , or Sea Devils , or Silurians ? +76 Movies_TV POS 5 Will Smith be good in this movie , Jack Black , Gene Hackman and lot of spy on Americans , almost like it could have foretell the future . you will like this movie if you dislike the patriot act . +334 Movies_TV POS 5 my daughter love this video . it come fast in the mail and in excellent condition ! +500 Movies_TV POS 4 I kinda like this Wil Smith guy . in this film he play another adrenaline-rushed-on-the-run-from-the-bad-guys type hero . we have see it before of course in he previous exploit -lrb- see id4 , mib , BadBoys -rrb- , but Jerry Bruckheimer certainly do know how to keep you watch - excellent effect and some good support from Gene Hackman . and yes ... he do get to run around in he vest . again . +532 Movies_TV POS 5 classic . must buy for any toddler\/kid collection . excellent story rendition , animation , music . +34 Movies_TV POS 5 great movie . it be deliver in awsome timee I recomend this movie to everyone with kid . +163 Movies_TV POS 5 this movie be so real , it will keep you look behind you back for a week . in this day in age of technology , this movie will become a reality in a matter of time . +829 Movies_TV POS 4 I usually do not like sequel , but Disney step it up a notch with this one . it be full of suspense , and engage the entire family . this princess movie , be great for both gender , because it not only have the basic princess\/true love theme , but it also have a more active role for the Prince , the mouse , and the Grand Duke . I recommend this movie for a cute afternoon flick . +668 Movies_TV POS 5 doctor who the complete Second Series be worth every penny . it feature optional episode commentary , Doctor who Confidential 's for each episode . David Tennant 's video diary give a fantastic insider 's pass to the creation of Doctor who . this be a must have for any Doctor who Fan . +283 Movies_TV POS 5 I be very pleased with the second series of Dr who . in my view David Tennant make a excellent replacement for Eccleston -lrb- who while good , do not seem to fit into the role naturally -rrb- . the storyline take a darker turn , with the rise of the sinister government agency Torchwood . several new and old adversary return , include the dreaded cyberman . the start and end to the series be both very well do , with the right balance between action , humor , and plot . the series also engage in some intriuging exploration , include a episode feature the visit to a planet orbit a black hole , to revolutionary France , and to another paralell universe . the series end on a promising note , and I be sure it will only get better from this point onward . +842 Movies_TV POS 4 a fresh , uplifting story from the day when disney 's character be not santatize result of marketing survey +502 Movies_TV NEU 3 BIG BROTHER be WATCHING : FACT or fiction enemy of the state , by David Marconi . Buena Vista Pictures ,1998 . review by SSgt Creston Patrick Bailey in the age of post Cold War hoopla , the call to down size not only the military , but we nation Intelligence capability , occur at we own risk . while the Soviet Union be no longer a `` Super Power '' , there be still enemy that would seek to destroy the United States of America . it be in time such at this that David Marconi set he film enemy of the state . in this fictional work , Marconi portray the constant battle between the need of national security and the civil liberty of United States citizen . this battle be depict by the need for the National Security Agency 's need to collect signal and Communications Intelligence -lrb- Sigint and Comint -rrb- at the expense of privacy of United States personnel . the plot of the film be a attempt by power hungry individual in the government to pass a bill that would allow for monitoring of telecommunications traffic of United States citizen . a politician , who be kill by those who support it , oppose the bill . the course of the film bring in a unsuspecting citizen who unknowingly acquire evidence of the murder . Robert Dean , portray by Will Smith , have he life turn upside down by the National Security Agency in a attempt to retrieve the evidence he unwittingly possess . ultimately Dean be able to outwit the National Security Agency and escape they massive technological means and foil they plan to subvert the privacy of United States Citizens . while the plot make for a mediocre film , at best , it be the author , and producer 's ability to pray on the viewer 's fear of ` big brother ' that keep the movie interesting . accord to director Tony Scott the United States Intelligence Community possess technology that can reach in and dominate the life of the american public . image of real-time sub-one meter resolution streaming imagery from orbit satellite , and computer nerd task satellite on a moment notice be serve up to scare a unwitting audience . the use of formerly secret code word offer credibility to the film in the eye of a uneducated public . while all of these image and idea may sell a movie , and make it appear that the United States Intelligence Community be somehow omniscient , it be pure fantasy . not only do the author portray the ability of the United States Intelligence Community falsely , he also fail to mention the illegality of the action use by the National Security Agency in the film . the most obvious of these oversight be United States signal Intelligence Directive 18 , that make virtually every action in the film illegal . however , if the goal of the writer be to scare public , he succeed . while the film do succeed in entertain the public with high tech gadget and suspenseful moment , it do so at the expense of the United States Intelligence Community . the film primary motive appear not to entertain , but to propose a agenda . that agenda seem not to be educate the public on what the United States Intelligence Community do to protect the nation , but that ` big brother ' be watch , and that the United States Intelligence Community be here to destroy you freedom , not to ensure they . +831 Movies_TV POS 5 I would like to thank these people that carry these hard to find Disney classic . +472 Movies_TV POS 4 normally , I can not stand Disney sequal , however , Cinderella III do a fantastic job with the voice , charachter , and plot . my kid love it , and I do not mind watch it with they ! +210 Movies_TV NEU 3 I be really disappoint with this release , I be expect a nice widescreen edition of this movie with great sound , but it be just a mediocre standard dvd . +14 Movies_TV POS 5 after the departure of Christopher Eccleston , everyone wonder what would happen next , would David Tennant tag over the mantle successfully . the answer be a clear yes . the second series of the hit show contain all 13 episode of the second season plus the 2005 Christmas special . the usual good -lrb- rather than dazzling , there be some omission such as attack of the graske and the tardisode -rrb- set of extra be include . a 5.1 sound mix be also include -lrb- though hopefully it be better than last year 's -rrb- . the episode themselves range from traditional to experimental , not everything work , but it be clearly a show now hit its stride .

I also try the iPod\/iPad connector and it work fantastic . I be even able to play purchase video from iTunes , which I do not expect . I be not sure if every model come with the connector or if it be a extra buy on . while this unit be pricey , it be cheaper than a full size unit and definitely perfect for the person on the go with the light weight . this really be a nice unit . +443 Projector NEG 2 basic construction and design leave a lot to be desire . do not fit larger projector use in most media room today . +711 Projector POS 4 this projector be a great value . good surprise : easy to set up , phenomenally bright , resolution be just fine . bad surprise : noticeable fan noise , poor black level . some extra thing that work well for I : use this background paper as a very inexpensive and high quality screen : Savage Seamless Background Paper , 107 '' wide x 12 yard , Super White , # 1 but it be way too bright for night-time , no matter the bulb or contrast setting , so I use these gel : Lowel Neutral density nd-3 gel Filter Set for the pro and i-Light System , five 5 '' x 6 '' sheet . the gel frame swing out of the way for daytime viewing . the gel also improve night-time black level , but it be still obviously gray . it be a lcd , after all . +446 Projector POS 5 Universal , easy to install and quite stable . install last year , it move about 1 inch in one year , so I adjust it in one second . actually it could be my home that move ... it be the best quality \/ price item that I could find and I be very happy I buy it instead of have the projector at reach for the kid . +840 Projector POS 5 I purchase this projector in August of 2011 and enjoy use it to project on my ceiling at night , and when the power go out in all of southern californium last summer , I and my roommate be able to watch netflix on this baby . just recently in February or so it stop project all three color so the hue be a very red color and no adjustment would change it , and then it would power off after 45 seconds or so . I contact the company who get back to I within 24 hour and have I RMA the unit back to they . they let I email they my tracking number and immediately send out a brand new unit . they even let I keep all the accessory include the battery of the original unit . I get the new projector within 4 or 5 day of the initial rma request . this company really stand behind they product , and for that I be extremely impressed . the projector unit itself have a pretty decent picture for such a small device . my battery life be somewhere from 35-40 minute on the brightest setting , but i can easily plug it in while project to watch as long as i would like . the one caveat be that it must be almost completely dark in the room for a larger picture . but once it be dark , i can project a entire wall with the image with pretty dang fine clarity . +511 Projector NEG 2 I order this item after read the review on Amazon of how the product be a great value . well , the product material seem good . the electric version -lrb- the one I order -rrb- have a nice convenience of be able to roll up the screen if need . but , the screen curl at the edge -lrb- the black part of the screen side -rrb- . unfortunately , these curl part also extend to the white surface -lrb- actual screen area -rrb- , so the edge of the image be distort . I guess you get what you pay for . if you want a distortion-free image , stay away from this product . after one week of use , I see more image distortion , so the surface be definitely not flat ! for a classroom or boardroom , this product would work well , but for a home theater application , it fall WAY short . UPDATE : I could not take the screen uniformity problem -lrb- curl and wave -rrb- , so have to return it for another brand . well worth the extra $ 84 for a elite screen ! +105 Projector POS 5 this be a great product . it do just what we need it to do as we go out into the community to do presentation . the price be awesome for the product we receive . +662 Projector NEG 1 the projector be nice while it last . I have only have this thing for a year and the screen be start to look like a star field . no it be not dust , as I have clean out the projector think the same thing . apparently it be the chip . I only discover this after google `` white spot pk201 . '' I do not recomend this product . +654 Projector POS 4 as you can see from the close-up product picture , the screen have 2 keyhole on either end for wall installation . what you do not see be that the hole be difficult to access . the product ship with 2 bolt that be anchor into the wall first . the anchor be a flimsy type and you have to be careful when you tighten they . the anchor have a threaded end . the screen be then push over the bolt in the wall and secure with 2 nut . this be the part that take I about a hour to complete , and you hear I swearing quite a bit . I use a wrench and pliers to tighten the nut on the anchor bolt , but because the opening on the end of the screen body be so small , I could turn the nut only about 1\/2 notch with either tool . once it be up , thing be much better , and I be please with the overall result . +86 Projector NEG 1 be differnt then what the picture be and the discription get no responson from the seller still +399 Projector POS 4 my wife want a dual alarm clock with a red display because red be suppose to be less disruptive to sleep . the good : very large , clear , bright , red display the radio have surprisingly good reception and sound very good when listen to news . I have not try listen to music but it be probably a little lack in bass response . the user interface be about as intuitive as it could be give its large number of feature and the manual be also good . large project time . on a surface 6 foot away , the number be 10 '' high battery backup allow the alarm to wake you even if the power be off the bad : this clock be not a `` atomic '' clock that receive very accurate time signal from government transmitter . it be simply preset to the correct time at the factory and be run on its battery backup when you get it so you might have to fine tune the time anyway . this also mean that , the next time congress change when daylight saving time be , which last change in 2007 , this clock 's automatic setting of daylight savings time will be wrong . fortunately , this feature can be turn off . the two brightness setting only change the display on the clock and not the project time . there be very little perceive difference between the two brightness setting and I think both be too bright for nighttime use . I think the project time be a little too bright and this be not adjustable and in some orientation of the projector you get a slightly distracting glare of the project light off the lens at the top of the projector . although you can focus the project time , my clock can not get all the number in sharp focus at the same time . this be a bit annoying but the projector be still very usable . the backup battery be cr2450 which cost over $ 7 dollar at Radio Shack and about $ 5 from Amazon . you can get they cheaper through Amazon from third party but I always wonder if those be counterfeit . the battery should last for year if the clock be keep plug in so this be not a huge issue . I wish they have use a pair of aa 's instead . although the project time can be rotate 180 degree , it can not be rotate 90 degree so if the clock be on a night stand at the side of you bed and the main display be face you , number project on the ceiling be 90 degree off from where you would like they . the unusual : I buy this clock after read the review that it be too bright . I figure , be a electrical engineer , I could modify the clock and either make the dim setting dimmer or add a light sensor that adjust the brightness base on room light . I be , with the addition of 6 part that can be find at Radio Shack , able the change the dim setting into a automatic setting that dim the clock nicely when the room be dark . the brightness of the dim setting could also have be change by change the value of a single component . the modification fall into the category of do not try this at home unless you know what you be do . I could not find a clock that already have this feature even though I have a clock from 1980 that do . I could not get into the projector to dim that so I just color the lens with a sharpie to make it dimmer . have take the clock apart , I would say it be reasonably well make and it even have a adjustment for the accuracy of the backup time so it may be reasonably accurate when leave unplugged . overall , I would recommend this clock if you do not mind the bright display . +231 Projector POS 4 my mother-in-law need a portable projector for a string of upcoming presentation she be go to be do . the requirement be simple : it need to be portable , it need to be affordable , and it need to be simple . this little guy be all that and more packed into a incredibly small package . the image it throw be crystal clear , and it be plenty bright to throw a 6 ' image up on a moderately dim room . the compact size and durability of the LED light source make it ideally suit for travel . the price be remarkable , at least in my eye , when throw up against less-portable , xeon-bulb counterpart in the same price range . in term of simplicity , a single hdmus - -rrb- Mini DisplayPort cable -lrb- not include -rrb- provide idiot-proof connectivity to she Macbook pro . there be only two con that I find noteworthy . 1 -rrb- the case that it come with be something of a joke . it be a thin neoprene zipper bag , just big enough to fit the projector . not the power brick and its cable . not the signal cable of any size or stripe . just the projector . and not very adequately pad for a expensive , relatively delicate piece of hardware . it just seem to be a worthless gesture to include a ill-suited bag . to remedy this , I pick up a Lowepro Adventura 140 Camera Case its not perfect ; i could stand with it be a inch bigger in any or all direction , but it hold the projector -lrb- in its include bag -rrb- , power brick and cable , and the hdmus - -rrb- minidp cable snugly , securely , and safely . the bag be well padded and come with a pair of movable divider for organize . if you do want to use this bag with this projector , I recommend remove one of the divider , as with both of they in there , it get too cramped . 2 -rrb- the tripod mount be worthless . actually , dangerous be probably a better term . give the projector 's size , it seem perfectly suit to be mount atop a normal camera tripod , and come with a mount that dubiously suggest such capability . the problem be that the mount be not structural . its just a hole mold into the bottom of the case , with a threaded brass insert wedge into it . typically you want to tighten down camera -lrb- or projector -rrb- to tripod ; do so with this projector will do nothing but pull the brass insert out of its hole . if you be to trust this , and not to notice the precariousness of the situation , bump the tripod the wrong way , or assume you could pick the tripod up with the projector attach could have disastrous result . -lrb- for those not follow : the projector would detach from the tripod , leave the threaded insert behind , still securely attach to the tripod . gravity would do the rest . -rrb- I have no remedy for this , as it be a structural problem , a design flaw if you will . it could be remedy by Acer use a better threaded insert , or even better , use a insert with a plate that would be secure to the inside of the case some how , which appear to be how most digital camera work . this would allow the torque and force of the tripod to be spread across more area of the casing , without much impact to the design of the projector . bottom line , this be a great little projector ; just plan on pick up a decent bag to keep all its necessaries together , and do not try mount it to a tripod . +462 Projector NEG 1 just like another person say , this product be garbage . I buy the 120 ft screen . I install it -lrb- pay someone to do this -rrb- and roll it down to start view a picture on it . the screen look great and I be happy until it be time to roll it back up . the retract mechanism do not work and my screen wont roll up no matter what I try . now Amazon want I to pay to ship this back and its look like it will cost a fortune due to its size . such a headache !!!!!!!! +106 Projector NEG 2 this unit be outstanding if you do not mind spend $ 300 every quarter on new bulb . I use pt-ae900 for less than 3 month -lrb- less than 400 hour -rrb- w \/ normal picture setting and fan speed ... and then the bulb burn out . Panasonic 's tech support line be joke . I spend one hour try to get a human be on the phone who could process my warranty . I speak with five people and only one mention 3 months\/500 hour warranty for the bulb . however , he be in commercial area not consumer and tell I to call yet another number . the bulb be suppose to last around 3,000 hour but in my case it last six time less . if you plan on use this projector as you primary video output , do not waste you money and spend a little more for a plasma . at $ 1,999 this unit be a bargain until its real cost catch up - a additional $ 1,200 per year . +948 Projector POS 4 I recently purchase the Epson 76c . I use it for watch dvd 's and television . I havent ' t use it with a computer . the dvd player be connect with a s-video cable and the television -lrb- cable box -rrb- be connect with rca cable . I can not give the unit 5 star because I do not really have any way to compare it with other projector . the store around here that sell projector do not have they on display like the big screen tv 's . the advantage of a projector be obvious ; small size , large picture , cost -lrb- $ 1,000 vs. $ 2,000 or more for big screen tv -rrb- . the projector bulb do need to be replace every 2000 to 3000 hour at cost of around $ 300 . I have the projector down the basement where it be fairly dark . I originally project the image on a wall . I experiment with different type of paint and find that flat white be about the best . DO NOT use gloss white paint ! later I purchase a inexpensive screen that be slightly better than a white wall . the control on the 76c be very easy to use . several feature that I like on the unit include the two different light setting ; the low setting be for dark room -lrb- like my basement -rrb- and the high setting be for well light room . also , the low setting will extend bulb life . there be two ring on the projector , one for focus and one for image size . if you go with a projector , make sure you get one with xga resolution -lrb- 1024 x 768 -rrb- -lrb- like the 76c -rrb- which have almost twice the pixel as svga -lrb- 800 x 600 -rrb- . +530 Projector NEG 1 rate as 3000 hour bulb life when purchase , today they claim 4000 hour . bulb last only 900 hour . Service at `` unfocused '' do not care about create a satisfied customer base . would not replace bulb even on a prorated basis . +201 Projector NEU 3 my office get this rather bulky projector to avoid have to carry around a laptop to show presentation . well ... guess what ?? if you want to show powerpoint or \* . pdf which comprise most business presentation you still have to lug around that laptop in addition to this humongous projector . we be better off with a small projector and laptop . this idiot device will not recognize \* . ppt or \* . pdf file on a dvd , CD , or thumbdrive , so all that supposedly great connectivity be out . if all you want to do be show video and picture get this projector . \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* M.S. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* +469 Projector POS 4 the product be perfect and it be deliver in time - cant complain about anything everything top class like most amazon buy +643 Projector NEG 1 8\/16\/11 : I have now enter the 21st century with this alarm clock ! it have so many wonderful feature ! first , the number be nice and large , so it be easy for this Baby Boomer to read ! it also have a projection feature that project the time on the ceiling ! so I do not have to look at the clock to see what time it be , just take a look at the ceiling ! second , it have a automatic time zone feature . in program mode , select the number that correspond to you time zone and voilum ! it automatically set it for the time and date ! Third , it have two separate alarm . depend on the type of wake-up call you want , you can set alarm 1 for a gentle wake-up call -lrb- soothing sound for example or easy listening -rrb- and alarm 2 for those urgent , immediate wake-up call on the day you have to get to work asap . and you have you choice of soothing sound : bird chirp & chime , ocean wave , etc. . you can program the alarm to set off 7 day a week , Mondays-Fridays only , or weekend only . that be a great feature so you do not get wake up to you favorite Heavy Metal station on the weekend ! it have a backup battery system that will still wake you up even if you have a power outage during the night . my favorite feature be the `` Sleep '' feature , in which you can set the clock to play soothing sound for 60 - 99 minute . this help to put I and my little pre-school son to sleep . it shut off after the alloted time . the instruction be easy to read and follow , although you do have to read they to figure out the feature . 8\/19\/11 UPDATE : I have be force to lower my rating from 5 star to 3 . I guess that be why this clock be only $ 29.99 . after about 3 day , it start to do some wonky thing . I be use the `` Sleep '' feature to play the soothing sound mode and that have stop work . when I press it , the display alternately flash the time and a radio station . I keep have to play with it until I can at least get the soothing sound to play . it have a very long , thin wire antenna which could easily break off , so that be not so great . alarm 1 seem not to work all the time . I keep refer to the instruction to reset the `` Sleep '' feature and alarm 1 , and I do everything step by step , yet the `` Sleep '' feature do not work and alarm 1 be iffy . the instruction be not very good when you be try to troubleshoot . too bad , because the feature be really nice on the clock ... if only they would keep work . 9\/2\/11 UPDATE : Radio no longer work . soothing sound do not work . Sleep mode do not work . I set alarm 1 for 6:45 AM and it somehow switch on its own to 6:45 pm . drop rating to 1 star . I have have the clock for almost a month , and it seem more of its feature stop work . I do not recommend this clock . the basic clock still keep time , and the projection light work , but that be about it . 9\/15\/11 UPDATE : alarm do not work at all . the only thing this clock do be keep time . the light that reflect the time on the ceiling still work , but all the other feature do not . I have never have a product go bad so quickly . 9\/20\/11 : clock be DEAD . have to unplug it while clean . when I plug it back in , nothing display . never have I have a product that die so quickly as this one . save you money and buy another brand . do not buy this clock . Timex be know for watch , but not alarm clock . total disappointment . +274 Projector POS 5 I love Epson Projector for its sharpness , brightness and vivid color . even if you be plan to watch movie or use it for presentation , this be it ! +890 Projector POS 5 nice picture size over 8 foot so be prepare for large work area need to enjoy the full view , all , connect be secure simple set up and operation . +941 Projector POS 5 this appear to be a OEM part . the only difference between it , and its the unit it replace be that it take a minute for the bulb to get to temp and the color to balance out . that might be just I be picky , the fact it be still pretty new , or that it might indeed not be a exact replacement of the original . I like the original . it still function , but its light be pretty dim -lrb- particularly in dark situation with the light in the room on -rrb- so the replacement be nessisary -lrb- I get full life and they some out of the lamp and it still fucntion -rrb- . it will be a emegency backup if something happen to this lamp . I recommend it to anyone with the approprate unit . I have a gt700 optoma -lrb- that I also buy from Amazon -rrb- . +682 Projector POS 4 clock arrive promptly and in good condition . Easy to set up and all feature work great . one tip regard the special battery back up be that it do still wake you up if the power go out but do not maintain the display for time . minor issue . clock be great overall . +509 Projector POS 5 this cable trasmitt we pc signal and sound to a flat screen tv about 40 foot away with no problem . there be no signal issue and we be enjoy the option to view we digital content on the tv . the cable be rugged and feel like it be well make . I would purchase this item again with no regret . +347 Projector POS 4 the 3M mp160 be currently 3M 's upper middle of the road pocket projector . I can not say I fall in love with this product when I first receive it , but its usefulness become more apparent with time . I recommend it , but with very strong reservtions\/warnings . pro : exceptionally portable which allow you to present information in way not previously possible that be about it . however , this pro be bigger than one might think . but first , the negative : con : price lack of wi-fus and bluetooth connectivity connection cable provide limit how you can use horrible user manual . actually , what manual ? it be a pamphlet with almost no information provide at all . 32 lumen . this projector be not go to work in a light room as soon as I open the box and try to use the mp160us immediately wish for the functionality of the mp180 , it be more expensive relative . I really want wi-fus and bluetooth . and I want to use it with my 4 year old ipod , but the projector will not work with it . I have to borrow a newer model to get it to work . the major selling point of this product be its portability . I can not imagine hook it up to a computer or dvd player of any kind . the only way this product shine be when it be couple with a wi-fi enable device such as a ipod touch . it be only then that the m160 become a portable teaching tool . I could see this be use by coach , teacher , or anyone who have to sometimes give brief presentation . and I do mean brief . the lack of light strength and the tiny tiny speaker would make more than 5 minute use unbearable . for I personally , I plan to use this to explain new board game to my board gaming meetup group . instructional video on how to play game typically run 5 to 10 minute . Perfect . this same idea could be use by other in similar situation . E.g. a coach who want to quickly show a short segment of a game post to the net in order to teach player . but be it worth it ? I honestly can not say . you have to judge for yourself and keep the limitation in mind . and definitely , without question , view this product as only half of what you need . a wi-fi enable ipod be necessary to make full use of the m160 . +669 Projector POS 4 this projector work great right out of the box . . hook up the Dish DRV , Xbox , Blu Ray and look great . Thought about a native 1080 , but for the half the price you can not go wrong . . throw a 140 '' image from 18 foot . . kid be happy and so be i. . +504 Projector NEU 3 just remember , u get what you pay for . it be a cmo , not ccd . just wish u could take a picture and not video only . +906 Projector NEG 2 I 'll start this review with a disclaimer . I be a geek . this mean I do a ton of research on the pk301 Pico Projector from Optoma before purchase it through Amazon . in theory , it be a cool toy . however , some basic production fault sabotage any realistic use of this projector . I initially purchase it as a special effect for Halloween . I record a ghostly movie , tweak the movie with some after effect , and be mean to rear-project it into some dense fog or onto the house window to scare the kid . here be what I run into : - the projector come with almost no instruction other than `` here be the power button '' and `` check out we website for accessory . '' - the resolution of the projector be cut almost in half if you do not have it connect to a external video source -lrb- tv , laptop , etc. -rrb- - the cable that come with it be poorly make , and cram into the packaging . the laptop-to-projector cable that come with my initial order be break . - when I ask for a replacement cable , I be send a refurbish projector and be ask to send the new one back . thankfully , Amazon do not care if I switch the cable , and I return the refurbish one . the moral of the story be , if you buy a brand new projector and it do not work out of the box , optoma may replace it with a clearly used\/refurbished projector . for $ 300 + , that be b . - the battery life be around 45 minute . keep that power cord handy . - the projector be very picky about exactly how the video file be format . do not expect any drag-and-drop here . you 'll need to download a third-party program like Handbrake to format you video into mp4 at a specific bit-rate and size , because the projector come with no software . - the speaker sound be about as loud as cheap earbud . unless you be sit right next to it -lrb- with the little fan blow in you ear -rrb- , you 'll need external speaker to hear anything . important ! - after 3 - 4 hour of playtime , the screen develop a burn in the middle . this burn must have be on inside reflector , because I could not clean it off . it be so bad and so black , I could not see the on-screen menu to play anything . thankfully , I be able to return it . pro - look neat when you can get it to work . con - poorly construct . - bad customer service from Optoma . - spec give for resolution be under very specific circumstance , and not what you would get out of the box . - need to download specialized software from third-party company and have knowledge of video editing to convert video before they can be play . - burn up after 3 - 4 hour of continuous playtime -lrb- aka cooling fan be not good enough -rrb- . final verdict - avoid this product and wait for the next model . maybe they 'll have solve the cooling problem by then . +305 Projector POS 5 packaging : the corrugated crate that the radio sit in act as a protective outer which allow the radio to be deliver in one piece . it also sit in plastic to protect it from scratch while travel ; the outer box be also make of a tougher cardboard so all in all I think they do a great job with packaging . Instructions\/Assembly : I be not a tech savvy person , nor do I do well with assemble anything I do not care how much instruction be give . I be more of hand on person who enjoy a human facilitator . however the instruction receive with this product allow I to check the projection on the clock , set both alarm one and two ; one for weekday and the other for the weekend . lastly no more wake up to loud buzz or music I have choice with the Timex Redi Set Alarm clock dual radio . I can choose to wake to soothing sound like water running , the ocean , chime , music or that annoying buzz buzz . appearance : the radio itself be actually smaller than expect so I be pleasantly surprise . my night table be a pretty decent size ; however I would like my bible to share a piece of it . today my Bose Wave radio take up most of the space . so the size be good news . usage : I only have one word `` Easy '' alIow I to explain I do not have to waste time punch button all I have to do be select my time zone and the Redi Set computer system automatically set the clock . but if you want to manually set the clock 5 or 10 minute fast that option be available as well . see EASY . bonus : Projection Operation I like the image of the time display on my ceiling , no more waking and turn my head to face the clock , if I sleep on my back all I have to do be open my eye ... I love this clock so much I put my bose on the telephone table and move this one to my night stand . product provide by Amazon Prime for the express purpose of this review . . Laverne +262 Projector POS 5 for most people that have disappoint review , I advise to use this product with they laptop to VGA input and adjust brightness . also , a projector screen would be suitable . rca video and s-video have always be unreliable especially when a cheap dvd player be use . I would buy another one because this be a great product . the fan sound normal compare to my Infocus 24 projector . +812 Projector POS 5 the p4 , after research be the pico projector I decide to go with . it be surprisingly bright for its small size . the image be crisp and clear . I mainly use it to project movie from my laptop but it come with Windows CE so if you be one to do presentation , with a usb mouse you can use the build in software to access word\/powerpoint\/excel . I have use a apple vga adapter to mirror my iphone 4 as well and it work brilliantly . I would definitely recommend this projector if you be in the market for a small , portable projector . +652 Projector POS 5 I have be use this projector for 6 month now . not just for movie but regular tv -lrb- also hdtv -rrb- and xbox 360 . I have about 600 hour on the bulb . a few time the unit do not want to turn on and I think the bulb have burn out -lrb- see other review -rrb- but I let it sit for a couple of minute and it turn on with no problem . in my opinion , dvd 's , xbox and the hd channel be project beautifully ! I never know a projector could look so good . with the price of this projector continually fall , the deal just get better and better . my neighbor spend $ 3,500 on a 50 '' plasma , I do not think he picture -lrb- hd -rrb- be any better than mine and less than half the size -lrb- my screen be a 120 '' widescreen -rrb- . I spend a total of $ 2,400 for my projector , screen and cable . even if I have to buy 2 bulb a year it will take over 2 year before I equal what he pay and I have still get twice the screen size ! I 'll take that anytime !! we be very happy with this unit , quiet , clear picture , better price ! Update : we use this projector for over three year , no issue with bulb at all . first one last nearly 2 year . still on the second one . I highly recommend this projector ! +741 Projector POS 5 quick delivery , come in excellent condition , great feature , powerful and of great quality projector . its beeing use in a church and have be a blessing . +122 Projector POS 4 100 % brand NEW OEM EQUIVALENT TY-LA1000 PROJECTOR \/ tv lamp with housing for Panasonic I order this lamp and rec would it within three day . it be the first one that I purchase that be not break during shipment and work when I install it . I have purchase 2 previously ; two so that I could repair and get a good one . they come from a different supplier of Amazon and be not package properly , so arrive broken and no instruction . what do you know ! this shipment from Projector Parts include a complete set of instruction , be package properly and arrive in great shape . it continue to work as advertise . I be impressed . I recommend purchase future lamp from Projector Parts in Montrose , California . p . . this lamp also seem as if it give a brighter picture , which make for easier viewing . +751 Projector POS 4 this projector have serve I well . I have two child , a four year old and a ten year old . both of they ask almost nightly if we be go to watch the projector . I have have the picture up to about 70 '' and find it quite watchable . it do look like you be watch through a screen door , and it be a tad blurry . we pay $ 25 for the device on clearance at we local drugstore and be very happy with it . we have use it inside and out . it be a real treat use it outside . we spend the evening on the lawn next to the campfire watch movie with the family . I set up a dvd to make it feel like a authentic drive-in movie and make popcorn . the kid be thrill . I only wish we have this thing when I be a kid . if you be lucky enough to pick this up for less than $ 50 I would say do not hesitate . we be consider buy a better one , but only because we have so much enjoyment from this one first . +275 Projector POS 4 for college , this projector be worth the money . in a sunny day with the blind close on the east window a decent picture can still be acquire . the 16x9 picture be great but when connect to the computer , I sometimes get a greenish tent but not when it be connect to a dvd player , etc. . my only issue be that when watch a movie the projector will go out of focus halfway through the movie , probably because of the vibration of the projector itself . overall a really good product . +846 Projector POS 4 I but this projector after read many review and compare . first the shipping be super fast that surprised . when I open the box that impress because the projector be bigger than it look in the photo . it look good . the fan sound but not something that annoy . the VGA connection be the best because I can go 1080p . the connection hdma do not really like because it not give you the option of go to 1080p just let I go up to 720p but it look good anyway . the only thing I want from Lonestar be to buy replacement light , because I could not get where to buy they . +477 Projector POS 5 Got mine on my son 's birthday . I hook up with PS3 , 1.4 a compliance hdmus cable , Mustang 120 '' screen , sony sound system , two optoma z101 3d dlp link glass , play 3d game and watch 3d movie . I can not believe in front of my eye . I be watch and play 3d in my living room . none of the projector out there without you need to pay and hook up 3d converter can do that . I have compare it with optoma hd180 as well . I love this 3d projector . I be excite to have this machine in my living room . I be die to show this to my friend and wife . another best part be it come with the rf emitter just in case you want to hook up with rf active shutter glass . in my opinion , the optoma z101 be on sale and will do the job nicely both to my two boy 10 and 13 year old and of course myself . you will not be disappoint . +321 Projector POS 5 the Universal Ceiling Mount be easy to configure to we projector with lot of hardware to set it level . it be a very easy to install . +841 Projector POS 4 my office have be experiment with a few different minus projector . this MicroVision model be the one we be stick with for now . -lrb- we have 4 of they -rrb- it be a simple plug and play procedure . the picture be decent . the cable adapter be custom make for apple product . my only problem with this feature be that the cable be very short and there be no option for a longer line . this just mean that you need to be close to the projector if you want to control the program manually . the device be light and about the size of a iphone . i can absolutely tell you that when fully charge at its brightest setting and run off the battery . . you will get no more than 2 hour and 40 minute of battery life . it be a good product for now . . i say for now because we have already see a smaller device that slide onto apple device and it have the same luminosity . we will be switch to that brand as it come to market , but for now this laser pocket projector be state of the art for the consumer market . +880 Projector POS 4 its go to be almost 2 week since I purchase this projector . watch movie be great on this projector . I be use my wall for the projection which have get grainy surface . Picture quality and detail be awesome . I be shock to see such clarity even on a grainy surface . I try to run this during daytime and do not find it do very good in the light even when blind be close . I have to close curtain for it . this can be ignore as optimum use of this projector be only when you be watch movie , and movie give feel on such big screen only after room be perfectly dark . I will not reduce any star because of this . the only heart breaker with this projector and I believe with all the 3d ready projector sell today be the extra hardware for view 3d contents . it really make no sense to purchase a 3d ready projector for 600 even $ & then purchase a converter kind of device of almost same amount of the projector in order to watch 3d movie on a 3d ready projector . I be give 3 star just because of this additional hardware 3d-xl . if I ignore this then definitely this projector be 5 star . and why the 3d-xl device be more costly than compare to UK and even do not come with the pair of glass while the UK one come . I be not a very techy person for audio and visual but I understand that this 3d XL box will do some sequencing of frame in order to show right and leave frame sequentially . this be more a firmware upgrade . since most of we have recently buy this device hence in my opinion optoma should do this firmware update free of cost as most the mobile company do these day . the only real issue seem to I currently most 3d player have output of hdmus v1 .4 while the hd 66 support input of HDMI v 1.3 . it be really feel cheat that Optoma be ask to purchase a full box instead of a small hdmus v1 .4 to v1 .3 converter and ask for a whopping 500 $ . for I be seem like I be ask to purchase one hd 66 on discounted price . it will feel like OPTOMA be cheat we . ## update on 21 Dec 2010 ## in amazon UK site this product be sell just 249euro which be equal to 327.5 $ . UK version ship follow below give item in the box . -lrb- ... -rrb- Box contain # 3d projector adapter # Power Plug # Power Adapter # user Guide -lrb- CD -rrb- # quick Start Card # Warranty Card # WEEE card # 3d glass # cr2032 battery # large\/small interchangeable nosepiece update on 9\/19\/2011 update to 4 star as picture quality be awesome . it make my weekend . +158 Projector NEG 1 I buy this projector because I want a complete projector and dvd player that would fit in my living room . Epson boast of get a wide screen project from as little as 6 foot away from the wall , so I think this would be perfect . they even show picture of it be use on a coffee table to project on the wall . well , when I get it up and run , I discover that to get the picture at a appropriate height , the projector itself have to be almost five foot in the air ! plus , with the dvd player eject to the rear of the machine , you can not mount it against the wall . so , to use it in you living room -lrb- or anywhere -rrb- , be prepare to have it sit at a height of 4 to 6 foot high ! there be dial that allow for picture adjustment , but even with these fully utilize I need to prop the projector up on some book -lrb- the leg be not adjustable -rrb- , and still at a height of four foot , much higher than a coffee table , and so high that when sit down , the projector itself interfere with you ability to see the project image ! now , the picture and sound itself be fine . but the design and execution make this product unusable for I and for many people in similar situation . try it out before you buy !!! +218 Projector POS 5 this projector be absolutely unbelievable . hand down beat the JVC DILA rs40 in 3d viewing and its 3x as bright as the vpl-hw90e in 3d mode . personally , I think they price point be a little low . 2d to 3d simulation be pretty cool too although not as good as a true 3d channel or movie . I already do a year 's worth of research on this . no need to look anywhere else . buy this thing . for reference , I be use a 120 DragonFly perferated screen with 1.35 gain . even with the perf it be still bright . +811 Projector POS 4 five seconds . that be how much video you can shoot with this shoot 'n share out of the box . not good on Christmas Day ! to loosely quote a recent commercial , `` do not they think this be information I would like to have ? '' five seconds ! really ?! really ? the most amusing thing about this be that the manual state that the micro sd be `` optional '' . really ? who make five second home movie ? good news be we find a micro sd that should give we about 90 minute of record time cheap on Amazon . also , in spite of the apparent miscommunication , this look like a really nice piece of equipment . +964 Projector POS 5 I buy this projector back in 2004 ... have a home theater have always be a dream of mine , but I do not want to fork out unreasonable amount of money to do so ... the main reason I choose this projector be for its luman rating , and the fact that best buy sell it , so I be able to purchase it with my brother employee discount for under 1000 dollar , keep in mind this be back in 2004 ... at first , I be dissappointed ... I run a s-video cable straight from my av receiver -lrb- sony str-de1075 -rrb- into the projector with dissapointing result ... I try everything , even svideo signal booster , but the picture be mediocre at best ... then I buy a VGA HD cable for my xbox 360 and plug it into the unit and be shock , the picture quality be clearly sharper and much more define ... this lead I to believe that use component could possibly give I a decent picture ... I buy a dvdo iscan video processor on ebay , and run the prjector off that unit ... I be pleased , the picture be not as clear as a CRT , but still very good for a sd signal , especially when watch dvd content ... when i really become pleased with this projector be when I buy a Samsung over the air hdtv tuner ... I run a 35 foot monster hdmus cable thru my ceiling into the projector be feed by the hd tuner , and my jaw drop ... the picture be insanely bright , super sharp , and amazingly accurate in term or color ... this projector really shine when be feed by hd content , so I would encourage anything to invent in this unit if it be purpose will be hd\/bd\/hd-dvd content , you simply can not get much better for the price ... I be currently shoot it on a flat white wall , but have a Goo Paint Screen on the way , i be confident that will make the picture stronger as well ... the bulb blow at about 2000 hour , a little dissappointing , but sometimes my theater room get really hot during the summer day -lrb- northern californium -rrb- so i know that be not safe for the bulb ... I get a decent deal from projector people , the bulb ship overnight for 325 out the door , cant complain ... all in all , its a great projector ... sd content be good with a appropiate signal processor , but hd be where it really shine ... +499 Projector POS 5 the product come with different screw to fit a variety of projector . I easily find what I need to mount my Dell projector . once in place , there be lot of flexibility to adjust the postion as need . +51 Projector POS 5 i buy this for presentation of tax and financial seminar . i need something easily carry and connect . it be sooooo small ! but very powerful and impressive . i buy a flash drive and download the power point and use the projector exclusively . i have to use the power cord to get a bright picture - without it be a good picture but not bright . for I , use the remote be a big problem . the remote only work while stand behind the unit . i like to stand away and walk around , make contact with my audiance so i have to have another person stand at the unit and use the remote . might not be a problem for you if you be ok with stand behind the projector . the picture be clear and the `` run '' noise of the unit not bad . i have recommend it to other associate . +464 Projector POS 5 my husband and I be look for a affordable projector for we home theater and this fit we need perfectly . it be everything it be advertise to be and more . set-up could not have be easier and the picture be great - we use it for regular tv watch as well as movie . we have it set up on a 93 inch screen and everyone who have see it have be very impressed . thanks for a great product ! +494 Projector POS 5 do a ton of research before buy . could not find all the feature I want , so I wait . -lrb- go from 52 '' rca rear projection tv to 92 '' projector . -rrb- glad I do , this unit do a great job in a room with ambient light . I recommend get a light gray screen rather than white or just use the wall for improve contrast . excellent quality , quiet , great picture . remember , the screen be only half the experience , do not skimp on sound ! +877 Projector POS 4 I get compliment on this screen every time I bring company home . my only complaint be it be slightly warped and a shadow show in bright movie frame , I do not know if it be always be there because it be so minor but it be annoy now that I see it . I have have it less then six month so it kind of piss I off for the price I pay . other than that , this screen be awsome ! +650 Projector POS 4 I hide this screen in my crown molding and it work great . it keep the wall clean for artwork . Easy to install and remote work well too . overall exceptional product for the price . the only issue I have be the screen be make for 9 ' ceiling and I have a 12 ' ceiling . I be still try to figure out how to lower the screen 3 more foot . I might even have to find another screen that roll down longer . I welcome any suggestion . I be not afraid to void the warranty on this product . overall you can not beat the price for what you get . +336 Projector NEG 1 this thng be trash . unviewable picture -lrb- no matter what I adjust etc. accord to the manual -rrb- . I know what a good projector be and this be not it . do not waste you money . if I could give it no star I would . +112 Projector POS 4 this be my second pico projector so I know not to expect something that would fill a bright room . it do come with a lot of basic cable and even international plug adaptor but it do not come with a direct iphone\/ipod cable . that say you can open it like a hard drive on you computer and drop and drag you mp4 video file , mp3 music and powerpoint presentation onto it and they play just fine . to I that be the best feature ; you can play video and powerpoint without have to connect it to anything . you need to think of it as a gee-whiz unit rather than a presentation workhorse . really be pocket size and include sound and at least one hour of battery life . I 'll probably take it camping . it be sort of crazy that it come with a quick set up guide but no operating instruction . I be use to look thing up though and easily find the pdf on the 3M Website . +496 Projector NEG 2 it be not worth much more than $ 20 . the wire from the computer be stronger than the stand and projector together . I be embarase during my presentation when when the stiff connect wire would flex and the lightweight projector would fall over . image project be very dim . do not try project if there be any sunlight in the room . what good be a slim carry bag for just the projector if you have to carry all of the million of cable and part include in another case ? spend the extra money and buy the real projector . thank you to Amazon for they great return policy ! +186 Projector NEG 1 purchase this product because my current projector lamp need replace . after replace the old lamp with the new lamp , I be amaze at just how poor of a image be be display . I have purchase many bulb for my projector and none of they have ever be this bad . the lamp be put out very low light the image be yellow and very wash out . this be only part of the problem . when I get the lamp the packaging be nothing like other company . the lamp be in a bag wrap in bubble wrap , and place in a box . what be they think ?! +804 Projector POS 5 we have 4 of these deploy in a bar environment switch on 12 + hour a day to show sport and other tv channel and we could not be happier . they be exceptionally easy to install with a simple menu that make it easy to invert the picture , adjust the keystone setting , and basically set up the projector so that the only button that need to be press be on\/off . fortunately , there be a remote so there be no need to touch anything on the unit itself . in we case , the bulb last 6-8 month each and be also easy to change . I test one at home where we be lucky enough to have a very , very large white wall and watch Avatar . Short of cook up some popcorn , it be like sit in a movie theater . it be true that the project image lack the definition of a average high-def flat-screen , but the image size be significantly larger than anything you could reasonably buy as a tv . for watch movie and sport , what this unit be capable of produce be truly remarkable . while I be sure there be many better projector in term of picture quality , none come close at this price point . I would highly recommend for anywhere you need a big screen . +575 Projector POS 5 excellent piece of kit . great picture and when link to a sound sytem plus a huge 7 ' x 5 ' screen then this be better than the movie . rainbow ... ... not yet , only problem seem to be find a replacement bulb when present one go POP . +64 Projector POS 4 have the pk201 for about 3 week now . 4 1\/2 star . the brightness have much improve . I love that I can now connect just about anything to the pk201 . hopefully the rest of the cables\/adapter will be available soon . battery life be poor , at about a hour . but I mostly keep this plug in all the time . I wish the screen be just a little bit bigger . 70 '' easy with good clarity . the focus wheel be much better , not loose like previous model . Great for travel and hotel room . even with some light ambient lighting you can see the picture fine . best with complete darkness . \*\*\*\* Update \*\*\*\* after a lot of use I have notice a few thing when compare to other pk model . first the projection screen on the 201 have a smaller footprint on the wall . I be unable to get the entire screen to focus . area remain blurry no matter what . 101 have better focus . get the pk301 , really impressed with that model . bought one myself . +17 Projector POS 4 I like the projector - it come in handy for my need . only problem there be two slot where the slide always get stick . I will have to see if that can be fix . the projector be deliver very quickly . I be very excite about that since originally it be schedule to come after my relative be here . thank you for the promptness . +630 Projector POS 5 the projector be awesome for power point and work presentation . we be a small school and do not need to spend in excess for a major piece of equipment . +40 Projector NEG 2 buy this to mount my Epson 8350 projector ... I be die to get this thing mount and in my living room . however , it be not to be . it `` just miss '' the hole on the 8350 ... some people in the review have say it do fit the Epson 8350 and it have detail instruction . the product I receive do not fit it , and it be `` instruction '' be one sheet of paper let you know how many of each piece you should have , and a schematic . no step by step . regardless , call the return phone number on the packaging , and speak with a woman who say , in addition to the 1 '' and 3 '' extender that be include , they also have 5 '' extender , which would fit the Espon 8350 . they be ship `` for free '' -lrb- with a $ 3 shipping charge -rrb- . so , although it say UNIVERSAL , it be not quite . I 'll update my review when the piece come in ... but I now have to delay hang this a week . I would rather not ... sigh . = = = = = update = = = = = i receive the extender ... and it work fine . but it be false advertising to say this be `` Universal '' when it do not fit all projector . so ... buyer beware . +311 Projector POS 5 solid construction . have about 6 different pivot point that can be adjust to accommodate almost any installation . one thing that I do that be probably out of the ordinary be that I actually mount the unit to a 18 inch piece of 2x6 . I have a drop ceiling so I have access to the bare joist . the 18 inch 2x6 fit perfectly between the joist . then I attach 2 small piece of wood to either joist . this allow I to lift the projector with the 18 inch piece of wood and simply rest it on the lip of each small piece of wood . this type of installation allow I to remove the projector and mount from it be rest place without have to use a single tool . +378 Projector POS 4 the product be overall a good fit , but the bolt be not very long and the include drywall mount and screw be kinda of sad . we get some bigger and longer screw and mount it straight to the ceiling joist , and also use loctite on all of the bolt except the one go directly into the projector . the bolt do not always thread through enough to make I comfortable . the plate itself and the joint be well make and decent though . plus this mount be waaaay cheaper than other , and be customize for the unit . +780 Projector POS 5 this be a fantastic home projector . I be a very picky electronics fan . this exceed my expectation . the color be rich , bright & great . Panasonic produce best color . I own they camera , camcorder & now this . I be go to buy they HDMI dvd player +266 Projector POS 4 I really like this product , however it be necessary to turn off all of the light in order to see it . also , I highly do not recommend it for a home theater projector because the contrast be low , and it be very hard to see dark image in movie -lrb- not a movie projector . it be fine however for video game . also , if you plan to use it for you computer , do not buy it because the resolution be horrible -lrb- like its a tiny laptop screen size -rrb- and its hard to read text . +269 Projector POS 5 after borrow a friend Sony VPLCX6 projector with 2000 lumen and watch american Idol and `` I robot '' on my great room wall I be hooked . a exhaustive 2 month online , in-store and Pawn Shop search ensue . I have 3 criterion to meet , under $ 1000 , atleast 1200 lumen and minimum 800x600 native resolution . after search every electronic outlet in the greater Peoria area my father in law point I to Sams Club . the only projector they carry be the Epson Powerlite s1 + and @ $ 699 with 1400 lumen this be the culmination of my search . I be project a image 8 ' x 6 ' onto a 1.3 gain theater screen . with the s-video connection the picture be fantastic . most broadcast cable be quite clear , satellite channel be better and dvd be awesome . screendoor effect be present as the image be quite large but easy to ignore and lose it as the image be very crisp . only if I be rich beyond rich would I go with a higher end projector ! +447 Projector POS 4 this be a very good projector for display sharp image for game , movie or presentation on a fairly smooth white or light color wall or projector screen . its various input port make it a versatile projector for display device with hdmus , rca , VGA , or composite , and also have audio in & out . at approximately 4ft . you can display a video image about 4x7 ft. in size -lrb- approx . 81 in . tv screen -rrb- and at about 10ft . you have a mini imax theater . the projector can be adjust by use button on projector itself or through the remote ; have focus adjustment , adjustable projector foot and work great with my Sony 3d blu-ray player or 3d video card on my computer . with the include backpack , remote , 3d rf emitter -lrb- 3d glass sell separately -rrb- and cable , this projector be a great travel companion and work great in normal room light , too . feature that would have make this projector better would be , use a standard projector lense so you can use it as a home theater project , because move the projector further then 10 ft. make the image go out of focus and can not be adjust . also , the fan cooling cycle for the bulb be real short -lrb- about 9sec . -rrb- then shut off . high heat be still feel come from the exhaust vent in projector which could possibly damage lamp before its cool down enough to move . my other projector continue to circulation air into the bulb chamber continuously after its initial blast of air to cool down bulb . I use a small personal fan to blow air into this projector for about 15 min . to cool down the bulb enough so I can store it safety without worry about bulb damage . all these projector bulb be not cheap . the short throw optic lense be round which prevent lense cap from fitting snuggly on lense when store projector and no zoom adjustment . you adjust size by move projector closer or further from projector screen . overall this be a good projector for a person with small room want a movie \/ video game room in they home or apartment for family or friend entertaining and with the 3d build in to use 3d blu-ray player , game console or other 3d device directly , without buy a converter box ; it make this projector worth its value . +343 Projector POS 5 let I start by say I like to buy american as much as possible . with that say ... I see no american company that can match the price of this quality product . the screen be bright and full size as advertise . the review that I read be dead on in regard to the 5 star rating . I have to wait about a month to get it as they be all sell out even from FAVI . the screen do curl slightly on either edge as -lrb- i guess -rrb- all non-tension screen do . however the black border be wide enough that it do not affect the picture at all . the motor be a little noisey and the screen seem to go up and down slowly . however at $ 163 for a 92in electric projection screen -lrb- deliver -rrb- you cant complain -lrb- I know I just do -rrb- . when people come into my theater roon -lrb- convert basement -rrb- they think I win the lottery and spend a mint on a new home theater . truth be tell I have less invester in my 92in , 7.1 , Blu-Ray system then I do in my 42in plasma 5.1 dvd system in my living room . so I guess except for support a China base product I love it so far . and yes when I be hungery and out of work I will need to eat my projector , projector screen and most of my other electronics ... still cant beat the price - deliver ... +525 Projector NEG 1 same problem that everybody else be report . I have one for about 3 month and it start blank , so I return it for another . this one have work for about 6 month and it be now do the same thing . basically you turn it on , and within 5 minute , the picture go black . if you pull the plug and restart it , it 'll come up again . the problem seem to be get worse , as for a while it would only require 1 restart , and now it have be require 2 or 3 . I do notice the 2nd one 's test pattern be now yellow and blue , instead of white and black , which be apparently because of color streak which would be all too visible on the original test pattern . this seem pretty dirty of Panasonic . on the plus side , the image be fantastic when it work . +818 Projector NEG 2 Got my unit a few minute ago , read the booklet and I be see that the light source be a elongate 150w clear bulb !!! replacement cost $ 25 here , my question be this - will this really qualify as a lcd projector or can I sue someone for false advertising since it be under this premise that I buy the unit ... . will update on functionality later on . +827 Projector POS 5 this be we second MovieMate projector -lrb- we MovieMate 30 still be go strong -rrb- . we love the concept of have a build in dvd player and speaker . you do not need anthing else . the major improvement for the 30 to the 60 be the additional input -lrb- hdmus and VGA -rrb- . the microphone input be also unique add feature that I have not see anywhere else . I love everything about this product . +817 Projector POS 5 after spend week research different projector I finally decide to go with this one , and I could not be happier ! I pair it with a 120 '' screen I also buy on amazon . I have the projector mount on my ceiling . the whole project be a little bit frustrating , I be try to get the screen hang and the projector mount in just the right way . but after I get it up there I realize I way over complicate the whole thing . the keystone adjuster fix the mount angle with just a quick flick of a button . but even with all my little trouble it only take I about 2 hour to get everything set up just perfect , hidden wire and all . so no bad at all . the quality of this projector far exceed my expectation ! this be my first projector , and I be use it in my living room as a main view screen . so I run everything on it , my tv , computer screen , gaming , dvd , blue ray ... my living room be pretty dark so ambient light be not much of a problem during the day , and at night the picture be still very watchable even with all the light on . my friend love come over and enjoy my new `` movie theater '' . its be a blast for play game like call of duty and halo on as well ! the picture be just amazing ! I definitely recommend this projector for anyone who want a amazing picture and do not want to spend thousand of dollar do it . +375 Projector NEG 1 the bulb be for my secondary tv . it be only use during the weekend when the kid be not in school . the bulb be replace a couple week ago and it burn out . the vendor be excellent . I be show what to do to get a replacement . yet the quality of the bulb be definitely not worth to explore +853 Projector POS 4 much better quality and feature set than I expect . absolutely no issue with its brightness when use in a dark room . I project to 42 '' . no issue with its dvd limited resolution . fantastic feature set ; very small -lrb- cigarette pack size -rrb- , lifetime mtbf , hdmus -lrb- with pcm audio transport -rrb- , VGA , build in speaker -lrb- albeit feeble -rrb- , stereo audio out -lrb- extract audio from hdmus -lrb- pcm only , I presume -rrb- , tripod mount . some neg be : its a noisy sucker in high brightness mode -lrb- quiet in medium brightness mode -lrb- just ok brightness -rrb- -rrb- , non-uniform focus , so lightweight that it be hard to make stable . I recommend mount it on a miniature tripod . I give the pk301 a happy thumb up . its not a flexible use device . it must be match to the right situation . I use it as a bedroom projector . I be look forward to future generation of pico projector because the pk301 prove to I that pico projection have a bright future . +327 Projector POS 5 this be just what I need for presentation with a great price point ... can connect anywhere ... the only glitch I have be the need for a adapter cord to connect to my MacBook and the sale people do not give I that piece of info even though I inquire about Mac compatibilty . the projector work great ... I love not have to wait for it to cool down after use before store . +535 Projector POS 4 very good price image be perfect at size 100 '' but its need dark room for display and some time you need to adjust the focus ever now and then during one move time +603 Projector NEU 3 this have the cool factor with a trio of laser and single scanning mirror , but there be pro and con , most significantly poor video quality . the most significant advantage be that the image be always in focus , even on uneven surface . the flip side of this be that because the overall picture diverge greater than the laser beam , when the picture be large , the space between the scan line be annoyingly visible . hopefully this will be address as this technology evolve . the picture be also dimmer than dlp -lrb- at least compare to the Optoma pk201 -rrb- and not as sharp . the speckled image can be annoying , though that might just be a personal choice . when I first turn on the showwx + , I be amaze and very pleased , especially at short to mid-range distance up to 5 - 6 foot . not until I get the Optoma do I realize I do not need to settle for the dim and dispersed picture . the final straw , besides my showwx + show a defect with ghost image , be that there be no automatic aspect ratio setting . the showwx + require you to choose 4:3 or 16:9 whichever fit best the current video . it be annoy to have to keep switching and not every video fit one of these preset aspect ratio . I assume this be either lazy programming or anal product design . despite these flaw , I fully intend to give the ShowWX , or some other projector that embed the next version of the PicoP , another look whenever that come to market . apparently Microvision be develop a hd picop for use with third-party projector , but will not produce a hd projector of they own . for now , I be very happy with the Optoma pk201 , which have the add feature of a Micro sd card slot . +988 Projector POS 5 I buy this product and it have be excellent , easy to use , video cable be include , the control work fine . any issue with the product . +287 Projector NEG 1 I return this projector , mostly because the picture be pretty bad with standard def . source . Nintendo Wii look pretty bad , and standard def . tv and dvd look considerably less sharp than on my standard def . projector . other problem : it ship with horrible look color , the preset from the manuf . be terrible look . after tweaking , you can get a ok look picture but at that point the brightness be greatly reduce so I do not consider this to be a particularly bright projector . black level be not great either . I never try it with high def . source because the standard def . performance be a deal breaker for I . I replace it with a much cheaper projector , the NEC np115 and I be much happier with that one . Standard def . look great , and the review say that high def . look even better -lrb- I have not try a high def . source yet though -rrb- . the NEC 's preset look great , the high brightness setting retain decent color so they be useful , and black level and shadow detail appear to be at least as good as on the hd66 . if you view a fair amount of standard def . content , I do not recommend the hd66 . +649 Projector POS 5 I buy this in a bind to replace and earlier projector that have be steal from my office . I use this for a class that I instruct on a monthly basis . it do what it be suppose to do . the presentation from the laptop appear on the screen ... the student 's nod off , I finish and they get they continuing education certificate . I do not try to watch tv with it or illuminate the Luxor Casino , so if that be what you want to use this product for you have better find another review to teach it be excellence . but , if you need something to help you out with a little visual presentation ... this be you baby . +599 Projector POS 5 this be the first projector I have purchase and I be very happy with it ... especially for only $ 200 . great value , I be very satisfied : -rrb- +265 Projector POS 4 this projector be extremely small , the size of a iPhone with a nice bright picture with vibrant color . Great for small group . Easy to set up and use . highly recommend . +252 Projector POS 5 this be a great screen . I have have it in use for almost a year . I never get the adjustable height to work , but it be fine at factory default in the end . I just wish I would have go with the 120 '' instead of the 100 '' . my wife think 100 '' be fine though . it integrate with the universal remote and than make be even easier to use . +570 Projector POS 5 5 minute out of box and watch a movie . the video quality be really good for how much we pay for it . it be project onto a paint wall and look better than many other projectors\/tvs I have see recently . at about 16 foot from the wall the picture be huge , maybe equally 16 foot . have the sound go through another receiver and speaker set up make it feel like be in a theater . my wife 's friend see it and think she would get one too . really happy with the purchase so far . +139 Projector POS 4 I purchase this little projector a week ago and find it quiet and for the most part a exceptional value ... but it take patience to learn how to operate the machine ... THERE be no manual ! I do find one on line and it really do not explain how to work it very clearly . good Luck ! +554 Projector POS 5 while not as impressive as the surround sound room upstairs , it make a excellent compliment to any tv -lrb- 46 '' Sony XBR Bravia in this case -rrb- in a room that you do not wish to fill with speaker . add a sub-woofer , and the sound be excellent ! I would also suggest wiring the sound from you satellite , dvd\/blu-ray directly to the sound bar as I notice the sound slightly out of sync with the tv if you run it from the satellite and\/or blu-ray\/dvd through the tv and then to the soundbar . I could not justify pay retail price for this soundbar , but at $ 430 I feel it be a bargain and well worth the money . +395 Projector POS 4 I get this projector mount for a home theater install . it be easy to install and work great . the reason I didnt give it a 5 be because 1 of the screw they provide I with be not thread , it look like a flat nail with a philip head and I be unable to find a screw with a similar thread size -lrb- metric . -rrb- I end up improvise by get a bolt that fit into a larger hole and use two nut to do the fine adjustment . my projector be a Optoma HD 70 . +695 Projector POS 5 I be extremely happy with this projector . I be use it at home to project across a 15 foot room onto a white wall . the picture come out to probably about a 8-10 foot screen . even without hd it look amazing . I have yet to try hd or 3d , but I be sure they will look great as well . the brightness of the projector be better than I expect . it do not quite work in the middle of the day with the shades open -lrb- darker color be hard to tell apart -rrb- . but it do work extremely well in a dim room . overall , very impressed . +580 Projector POS 4 I love the picture quality . I hate the lack of internal memory . it would be far better if they have more . I have have to get a mini sd card to add what it lack . other than that it be great to have here in afghanistan . +301 Projector POS 5 este equipo llego bien y en el tiempo previsto . para el precio y el tama & ntilde ; o e un exellente equipo . sirve para proyectar video , documento foto etc. bajo consumo de energia . e muy bien portatil . +474 Projector POS 5 I admit I be a bit worried when I read the review that a buyer do not get the screen deliver . originally , the projector\/subwoofer arrive in a single box without a screen . it be UPS ' fault , however , since the screen be deliver in a separate container as a separate shipment -lrb- and they return later that day with the package when they realize they mistake -rrb- . the unit be very impressive and we have have many guest come over to watch movie . I like the four different color mode which accomodate different level of ambient light -lrb- from a moderately-well light room to complete blackness -rrb- . we have successfuly connect we Xbox and even we video ipod with surprisingly decent result . however , if you wish to connect you computer , you will have to use a computer-monitor-port to s-video\/rca-video port adapter -lrb- like Dazzle , etc. -rrb- . this product be well worth the cost as I have be look to create a home theater for over a year and have resign myself to spend 3x to 5x as much . besides spend less than I plan , by be portable , the Moviemate have allow I to show movie in way I do not original intend . we kid recently have `` movie night '' outside with the image show against the garage door and invite the neighborhood kid . this all-in-one package have be a delight ! I highly recommend the Moviemate 25 ! +21 Projector POS 4 it go together without any issue and be easily adjustable once it be hang . it be do a great job , just what I want it to do . +602 Projector NEU 3 do not get I wrong the projector be AWSOME great picture quality and this be my first Panasonic & projector experience , usually I ` m royal customer to SONY . only thing be REAL AWFUL make I hate this projector and Panasonic company . . be customer service\/tech support ! I just buy this projector arrive around x-ma I call many time to Panasonic Tech support and customer service , CAN NOT find anyone support this projector , they transfer I to this guy and that guy , put I on hold alot time and put I on hold again for long minute to read PJ manual some where , that thing i can do myself , then they take my phone number 100times to someone call I back and never get any call back from anyone , because they do not know S. about the PJ & NOT train whatsoever & come to it PANASONIC dose not have any support for thire projector line up ! , still wait for call then again same old paste over & over . . still do have same issue be not resolve for almost 3 week now !!! `` customer beware '' U do not get any `` support '' from Panasonic when u buy this pj , U be on you Owen to figure it out and have question !! only thing they know be about thire TVS & dvd player !! . if I know about this mess . . i would never buy Panasonic and stick with my good old SONY product a support ! this be my first and last of panasonic brand ! +563 Projector POS 4 this item be deliver very promptly . the picture be extremely bright and clear . one down side , however , be I could not get the aspect to change , nor could I figure out how to find the audio out put . there be slot that be not in use . no manual that be of any use . bottom line , for the price , you can get a great picture for tv or gaming or pc . just remember you be limit in the configuration . +729 Projector POS 5 I buy the screen for under $ 100 about 2 month ago . I use it with Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8350 I install it with the Da-Lite T-BAR SCISSOR clip -lrb- 78445 -rrb- the installation be pretty easy . I would definitely recommend this screen to those who be look to buy one on a budget . +258 Projector POS 5 this little beast be the bomb -lrb- do people still say that ? -rrb- ! I read several review where people say they show it to someone and that person say that they be go to have to get one for themselves . this happen to I . my totally non-techy brother-in-law say he might have to get a computer just so he could have one . take it out of the box , plug it into the wall socket , plug it into the computer with provide cable , turn it on and start project beautiful image on the living room wall - at night with the room light on . project it across the room -lrb- probably about 25 ' -rrb- onto the opposite wall and BIG , clear picture . obviously not as bright , but the light be still on and this be a LONG way away . cable be great . only thing miss be the HDMI cable with the mini-plug on one end . have not price that out yet , but will absolutely get one . if the pic be this good through the monitor port , it should be fantastic through the HDMI port ! I still can not believe the size of this thing . I have use -lrb- be a educator of sort -rrb- lot of different projector . they all fail just when you need they because of bulb issue . with a project 20,000 hour life on the bulb -lrb- s -rrb- in this thing , I do not think I have to worry . and I do not have to lug anything fragile and big around . slip this into the laptop bag , and it be good to go . I spend extra and get this model -lrb- 301 -rrb- because of the extra lighting power -lrb- 50 lumen vs. 20 -rrb- plus almost all the cable you would need come with it - plus plenty of outlet without have to have cable adapter . the extra money be worth it . sorry Amazon - I almost always get thing through you , but find it for twenty-some buck cheaper somewhere else and have great service and delivery from they . Equal to Amazon , which be always top-class . this thing be the wave of the future - imho . +172 Projector NEG 1 I buy this lamp as replacement for my optoma gt 700 and it die in less than 60 hour !! luckily it still have warranty . +503 Projector POS 4 I order this projector mount and receive it in a timely manner , but to my surprise it be package in a usp box and look to be a home manufacture product . with that say it have instruction and all the part and actually fit the projector 8350 perfectly . no reason to return the product but the box advertise be mislead +516 Projector POS 5 I be not too sure about this mount when I get it . the description be not very good and the instruction be so so but it adjust to almost any mount scenario that you need . come with lot of extra part in case you need they and extend quite a bit which be what I be look for since I mount it in a room with a cathedral ceiling . +758 Projector POS 5 I purchase this item to use on my deployment overseas and I be very satisfied w. the product . . I be project about a 80 inch screen on a white sheet . I use it daily to play xbox or watch movie . . I highly recommend this product for the money !!! best bang for my buck besides my Ipod !!! +574 Projector NEG 1 I hate this one , it doesnot work with computer , and make my event bad , I try many laptop , but failure . i dont know what be wrong , i return it . even i be not professional , amy i dont know how to operater , but the projector should be easy to connect to computer . i mean , should connet automaticlly . +230 Projector POS 5 I want a cheap led movie projector . I first order the Optoma pt100 , but there be a number of problem : color be not accurate , would not stay in focus , etc. . the Acer k11 be excellent : the color be accurate , the picture be bright enough . I be hesitant to order it because of reviewer who find the fan noisy . I do not think fan noise be excessive , especially when the projector be set in `` video '' mode . this projector do everything it claim to do . with a power draw of only 83 watt and a 30 000 hour bulb light , it be a economical device . its compact size make it portable . I also buy a $ 10.00 tripod to set it on , a 80 inch Epson Duet screen , and a JVC thba1 soundbar . for a total of $ 630.00 $ , I get a nice portable system . +913 Projector POS 5 I guess I be just crazy for Timex . this dual alarm clock be everything it claim it be . the setup could not have be easier , just plug it in . the alarm be also easy to set . I love the weekend setting as well . my favorite feature be the ceiling project time . +843 Projector POS 5 nicely make , and work with my Panasonic ae900u -lrb- which have 4 mount point , leave 1 unused -rrb- . stoutly make . +519 Projector POS 4 quick review : - display : even with my room light on , the display be visible , though clearly less than ideal . it be very bright and crisp in dim room , total darkness not require . also , I love the throw ratio , adjustable zoom , and quick corner feature . you can projector onto a wall at all sort of odd angle and still get a perfectly square image , though the overthrow of light be a bit distracting . - fan noise : the projector still get hot , and the air blow out of the fan be quite warm , but the noise from the fan themselves be not terribly loud . if you plan on use the speaker in the projector , it might be a issue . however , if you have speaker of any sort , then they should easily drown out the fan noise . - Speaker : handy to have , but useless if you plan on use this for movie or game . the lack of a audio out be annoying , and the reason I knock off a star . - input : hdmus , VGA , Composite . lack of component be disappointing , but HDMI be much easier to deal with anyway . note that they projector do NOT come with a hdmus cable . - extra : the include carry case be handy . the remote be pretty nice , though I wish the power would operate the lens cover as well . +13 Projector NEG 2 order this projector after read good review here and elsewhere . initially I be quite impressed by the image quality , very decent 720p image that match my expectaion . however , about 9 month into use , the projector start develop bad pixel . I make the obviouse mistake of not return it on the spot for a in-warranty repair . initially just a few ... but the situation deteriorate over time . I be now about 18 month from first use and the device be unusable ; there be over 100 bad pixel -lrb- mostly white -rrb- plus a `` bad '' black line run across at about 2\/3 the screen . obviously there be something significantly wrong with the reliability of the dlp device use in this design ... I have contact customer support ... look forward to they reply . Update May-31-12 : have return the unit to Optoma for repair - they gracefully accept this as a `` in warranty repair '' even though technically out of the guarantee 12-month period . good expereince ... make I comfortable of purchase optoma product in the future . +750 Projector POS 5 I have have this projector for 2 year now . I be use the s-video input -lrb- with a 25 foot Acoustic Research cable -rrb- for dvd , playstation 2 , and digital cable television . I be always happy with the picture but whites be always fuzzy - you could see static on the screen -lrb- in my case a white wall -rrb- . it take some research to find out that svga be the same as component video . so I experiment with a long component video to VGA cable -lrb- 35 ft. -rrb- . in order for this work with cable , I have to upgrade to a hdtv box because they be the only one cox Cable have with component video output -lrb- and hdmus of course -rrb- . WOW ... not only be the picture quality for regular cable increase - the ep719 take the 1080i hdtv signal through this cable no problem -lrb- even recognize it on screen as hdtv in the lower right corner -rrb- . hdtv be so awesome on this projector . huge crystal clear hdtv quality resolution . dvd be also much clearer too . that white fuzziness be completely eradicate . I want to experiment with the hdmus to dvd-d conversion as I imagine the picture will be even better . but in order run everything -lrb- cable , ps2 , dvd -rrb- through my stereo receiver with one cable to the projector I have to stick to one cable type - component video be it . there be absolutely no need to buy a expensive plasma or lcd when for a fraction of the cost you can get the same high-re picture quality with a screen six time the size . no problem either . get yourself a component video to VGA cable -lrb- dirt cheap on ebay -rrb- . or if you have a new receiver that have hdmus input , you can use all hdmus cable and then connect one hdmus cable with a hdmi-dvi-d converter and get the max out of you projector . although , I have read that long run of hdmus lose quality over 10 ft. whereas with component video you be ok up to 50 foot with no signal loss . +319 Projector POS 5 Have have this for 10 month and it have perform flawlessly . even have a few power outage that shut it down unexpectedly and it still work great . on a 135 '' screen and seat 12 foot away , the picture be great . maybe 1080p would be better but most of what I watch be not 1080p and for the price and lamp life , you can not beat it . more hdmi input would be nice but you can always buy a hdmus switch . I only watch it on eco mode and the picture be great -lrb- window be completely black out and only ambient hall lighting from downstairs -rrb- . even with light on , it do not totally wash out the screen . I be very pleased with this projector and it should last I a while until 1080p projector with longer lasting light source come along -lrb- at a reasonable price -rrb- . do not know about 3d because I be a cheapskate that will not pay $ 100 for glass . +88 Projector POS 5 I be use this projector from last one year . . its work great and I have not face any issue with this till now . +950 Projector POS 5 plasma follower say what you like but this projection be it . awesome clarity , a huge picture , hdtv and no hassle with hang on the wall , tv stand or heavy lift to move the darn thing . Yippie aye ay sum it up for I ... and when it get to be summer again I can take it outside on hot night and watch a flick on the wall . do not tell I about bulb life until you read up on this new tech and who say that plasma or lcd 's do not crater within that time frame as well . you say tomatoe , I say tomato , you say plasmo , I say projecto ! +236 Projector POS 4 honestly when i buy this I be not expect that much , but I be prove wrong . this little projector be awesome with only a few flaw . Pros-Price - good picture quality - hdmus output at 1080i - portable for class presentation cons-speaker volume can not be control that I have find , mean that if plug into a source like speaker through audio out jack you will get that crackling noise you would expect if the volume be turn up load . . but most of the time it do not happen . . just a little of the time -lrb- % 5 percent of the time maybe , but it do happen from time to time -rrb- - when I connect my laptop to it the screen flick on a off on projector side no matter what setting I mess with on the computer side -lrb- everything else work fine ... ps3 , xbox 360 , roku xr box , apple 's hdmus a\/v adapter with ipod touch 4 gen plug in , and other laptop -lrb- just not mine -rrb- all in all it be a good projector for the price . the only game I have play on it be COD mw3 , dead island , and mlb the show 11 . . but all those game work and look fine on it . the only problem I have run into be that my laptop just do not like to output to it for some reason . +902 Projector POS 5 I buy this as my first ever projector to replace a old tv . I have to convince my dad to get this as he be under the impression that projector be no good unless it be completely dark . now that he give it a chance , he be completely satisfied and more , as be i. the projector be very bright , even with a lot of daylight come in through 3 big window in the back of the room . at night , I keep the light in the room at about 50 % and the projector still look amazing at less than half brightness . the picture quality be amazing and it project a huge image from a short distance . furthermore , I be project on a wall without a screen and it still look amazing . I love it . I would buy it again and I recommend it to everyone who be look for a high definition projector and be try to spend less than $ 1k . this projector should be worth a lot more . I do not know how they can get much better than this . +919 Projector POS 4 install the foot onto my Vivitek 1080fd be a puzzle . take I 4 or 5 attempt to get something that would project and swivel the correct direction . there be a lot of tweak you can make to swivel the projector over different axis once it be initially install . due to the unanticipated flexibility of the mount , I be able to get a extra 10 '' of screen space due to be able to work around my ceiling fan and overall room condition . one complaint I do have be there be only a anchor kit for concrete , but not for drywall . I guess they expect you to find a stud , but in my location I be unable to use the stud and still have the picture center . I just pick up a anchor kit from Home Depot and from there installation go smoothly . +58 Projector NEU 3 this be my 3rd optoma projector . the first be a sd model that I buy use , lamp never die , and after a few year I resell it work fine . the second be a hd model -lrb- refurb -rrb- , which have to go back for repair , and then eventually die -lrb- lamp be still fine -rrb- just outside of warranty . I get the hd66 to replace it , and just before the year warranty be up it stop turn on . I send it in for repair , and about six month later the problem be back . I open it up , take it apart , clean everything off with can air , put it back together , and voilum ! it be be work fine for a month so far , but I do not expect it to last too much longer . I think I would get a flat screen tv to replace it , but get a great deal on a replacement hd66 so I be go to put that in and keep the old one as a backup when the new one have to go in for repair . : -rrb- Picture be very nice for the price , work well with ambient light , remote be not great , and use a programmable remote like a harmony be kind of a nuisance because of the way the power on\/off work , but it can be do with some tweaking . bottom line : if you can get a good deal on this , and buy on a credit card that double you warranty , go for it . +748 Projector POS 5 it seem like someone could come up with a cheaper option for such a simple need , but this one be very good . get the job do for not a lot of money . the setup make it so that you 'll be able to use it no matter what type of mount you projector have , and it come with a incredible array of metal screw , so you be sure to have the right one . the only thing you 'll need be the double threaded stud for the ceiling and the nut and washer to go with they . this be a good value . +341 Projector POS 5 great clock rasdio . I now have three of they . very easy to set up and use . the flashlight that attach to the radio have come in very handy . the flashlight be a great feature . I highly recommend this product . +440 Projector NEU 3 after two month of use , I feel I do not make a good choice . horizontal movement be not smooth at all . it hurt the eye , especially when watch sport program and action movie . after buy , I find that it be a 24 frame per second projector instead of a 60fp one . Eco mode must be set every time you turn the projector on . the good thing of the pro 8200 you read from the manufacturer be true and plenty to consider , but the extremely annoying horizontal juddering or shake effect must also be consider . +683 Projector POS 5 I be a little tentative before buy this projector due to the 800 x 600 svga picture , but I be pleasantly surprise that the picture be fantastic . it be bright and vivid , even with some ambient lighting . it do lack a hd input , but as another reviewer -lrb- blaser -rrb- note , you can get around this for less than $ 15 . buy a VGA to RCA Component RGB Cable - 1.8 m - m\/m if you need a hdmus input , this will do the trick : VGA to HDMI Cable M\/M , 6 FT , Black -lrb- Video Card support necessary -rrb- with these cheap accessory , you can use this projector for 100 '' screen gaming , tv and movie watching , and even computing . as a additional note , we use ours for work seminar and have it run all day with no heating issue . +12 Projector POS 4 for people who want the extra size view without the weight or price of the alternative ... Picture quality - xga be beautiful ; most people should be very pleased . Daylight and other light source outside of the projector do affect the viewability of the picture , but it be not extreme . dark part of movie or game may be harder to see during the day . different setting - economic , presentation , vivid , video may improve the picture . during dark hour , no problem exist , even in economic mode . my main reason for go this route for my home theater be to tie the unit in with my computer . I previously install a tv tuner card and a dvd burner in my home-assembled computer . since most projector , include the Benq , have a vga input port -lrb- the 6200 even come with the cable -rrb- , the connection could not be simpler . I also use a 4-input switchbox to handle my VHS player , xbox and anything else that come along -lrb- for example , a regular dvd player , a tv , my son 's Gamecube etc. -rrb- I set my computer to 1280x1024 which the Benq can handle , compress it to 1024x768 . Tips - 1 -rrb- Placement if you own you home , you could work a ceiling mount . I use a very reasonably price etagere . 2 -rrb- screen I can not comment on how good a white wall work , because mine be not white . I make my own 4:3 ratio screen from 1x2 dougla fir and 2 yd of 54 '' wide blackout cloth -lrb- from a regular fabric store -rrb- . many people on the internet offer advice on how to do it . Mine be quite light . I use two plastic anchor and extra long screw to hold the bottom edge of the top of the frame on the wall . since many alternative for a screen drive up the price of a economical `` luxury '' system , they be not for I . 3 -rrb- bulb -lrb- lamp -rrb- with a lifespan of 2000-3000 hour and the price of a replacement currently run at $ 400 , I be picky about when I plan to use the projector tv - only for special event -lrb- when I get a hdtv tuner card for the computer , I might feel differently -rrb- ... Video game - often ... movie - virtually every time ... computer\/internet - occasionally when any of these source be well do , one be interested on any size screen . 4 -rrb- sound the Benq only handle the video signal . I be use my computer sound card , which can handle 5.1 sound . with my quality 5.1 speaker , I be in home theater heaven . which bring to my last item , where I could use a tip . 5 -rrb- wire with the Benq projector I have a power cord , a vga cable , a s-video cable , and a composite video cable . add to that all the cable for the aforementioned item , and you have cable jungle - guarantee not to please any woman that I know . I plan to handle part of it with throw rug . as for the rest ... help ! lastly , I need to mention two thing . first , Benq be come out soon with a replacement for the 6200 with the latest DLP chip from Texas Instruments . second , the 6200 keep track of how many hour that it have be use , which you can monitor from its menu program . it will warn as the hour limit approach and actually refuse to start at 3000 hour , until you replace the lamp . +980 Projector POS 4 this be a pretty good value for the price . I wish it have focus on the remote -lrb- it be manual on the lamp -rrb- and I really wish the picture would scroll down smaller -lrb- it be too big for my screen from across the room -rrb- but it work properly , have good color , clear picture , and be easy to set up . vent get quite warm , pay attention to the warning label . good compact product . fast shipping from Amazon . +732 Projector POS 5 I get a 42 '' lg5400 for we room . with three kid the husband want to be able to sneak away and watch the game while the kid watch cartoon . somehow be stick with the small -lrb- black and white -rrb- college tv set seem unfair . when it finally break we upgrade . instead of buy speaker I look at a soundbar . I want to have great sound without wor about the wire or the kid move or grabe speaker place around the room . my friend be a audiophile and he have the 4100 then upgrade to the 5100 . he tell I the sound difference be minute I go over and try out he system . I like it and my 4100 sound the same . the difference be the 5100 have two 1 '' balanced-dome tweeter and the cost -lrb- approx 300 -rrb- ; perhaps there be audiophile with ear educate enough to tell the difference ... I be sure they would love to pay $ 300.00 for any subtle improvement . my friend who also install system also help I install the tv , dvd , Cable box and soundbar . the soundbar be also a receiver so the tv , dvd and Cable box be connect through the 4100 . we -lrb- my friend with I as assistant -rrb- update the Bios , install the bracket , mount the bar and calibrate the sound . the sound be perfect in the room no matter where you be but you can barely hear it in the hall even with the door open . so we can watch tv in we room when the kid be sleep . I have a electrical outlet put in the wall behind the tv and the wire be run behind the wall so no tangled wire and no wire visible to tempt the child . plus my husband can now watch the game -lrb- football , basketball or baseball -rrb- when the kid take over the tv in the family room . I would buy this unit again in a heartbeat . +864 Projector POS 5 wow this thing be fantastic !!! I love it !!! just get do watch the supper bowel with Family and freind in my man cave , the projector exceed my expectation ! wife and I also watch a movie on it last night . you cant go wrong for the price ! +569 Projector POS 4 buy this to use in a classroom . initially it be not bright enough to use without the classroom light turn off . however , aftter adjust the `` brightness '' level we be able to leave the light on . by the way , adjustment in the menu selection can be do on the projector , but I find it a lot easier to use the remote . install the usb software that come on the CD and hook up the usb cable from the laptop to the projector . bring up a powerpoint presentation and quickly confirm my hope that the include remote for the projector be able to run the Powerpoint presentation . if this be the only thing you will be use the projector for , then there be no need to buy another `` wireless mouse . '' however , it will not work with powerdvd . if show video , then do not use the usb cable . the video show fine on the laptop screen , however it be stuttering\/jerky on the projector . plug in the VGA cable and everything run smoothly . come with VGA , usb and `` standard '' electrical power cable . -lrb- the same type of cable most monitor and desktop computer user . this make it easy to find a quick replacement in case you forget yours at home . -rrb- the usb cable be also a standard type a on one end and type b on the other . it be nice to know that I will not have to order special cable if one be damage or lose . keystone adjustment for vertical and horizontal . have a focus and wide\/telephoto adjustment . under the menu option you can see how many hour the projector have on the bulb . Might come in handy to give you a little warning that you need to order a new one . con : turn off quickly and the fan stop . however , the device still feel hot to the touch . I can see this as a positive if you need to unplug and move it to another location quickly , but I would prefer a option to keep the fan run to continue to cool the bulb down . I do not like put the projector back in the bag when it be still hot , so I have to wait even longer than if the fan be cool it down . +873 Projector POS 5 Ok , so I just receive the hc4000 a few day ago , along with the favus 100 '' manual screen . both from Amazon , as usually Amazon Prime offer the best price , free shipping and no tax . both screen and projector arrive without damage . the review be start with 5 star but I might need to edit as I put on hour . first , I be a total projector newbie . my main passion be 2 channel audio and I own a top notch 2 channel system . of course I love film as well -lrb- sport too -rrb- so my first real solid display be a Pioneer Elite 50 '' Kuro that I buy 4 year ago , which be awesome . Problem be 1 . -rrb- my family and kid have take over the pio 2 . -rrb- even since I say a mitsus projector at my brothr-in-law I have to have one ! after spend many hour on on-line review -lrb- av forum too -rrb- I decide on the Mits over the Benq W6000 . buy anything without hearing or see it first be not a great idea in general , but I know Amazon have a great return policy . First think to notice while unpack this Mits be the size or lack of , totally tiny and light as a feather . I mean , not to complain but one sort of start to wonder why you spending $ 1100 or a feather light plastic item ? well , no worry because once I plug it in , no warm-up , no break-in , no user adjustment , I be totally floor ! amazing be all I can say . play lotr -lrb- non-blu Ray -rrb- from my PS3 look , well , like a movie theater . I also own the oppo-bdp-95 but have it on ther otherside of my room in my 2 channel system , so I be not keeon on run a 25 ' HDMI cable over , which I might try in the future . a bit on the favus 100 '' screen , this sucker be long ! I do all of the measurement several time so I know this be the largest I could fit . I have to say , I would love another 20 '' or so , but not complain . the project be place on a short stand about 17 ' from the screen , so it use about 90 % of the screen area . as other people state , the FAVI screen smell terrible but I hope the plastic smell go away after a few day . screen be solidly build , just hope the mech . do not break as some reviewer complain about on these manual screen . I be go to spend the next few week tweek the setting and try various test disc . I would tell first time Projector buyer do not worry . set-up be simple , take I about 20 minute to hane the screen and maybe 30 minute to unpack the unit and wire it to the receiver . +769 Projector POS 5 finally , a projector that deliver on all front - I travel a lot in my role as a erp solution consultant and this projector be a must have . image quality be exceptional - that include the extra feature justify the higher price tag -lrb- have say that , I do not think this projector be overprice at all -rrb- . even in a room with standard office light the picture be very clear and text be also clear and sharp -lrb- this be often where cheaper model fall down -rrb- - brightness and contrast exceptional . I be not experience the noise issue that other reviewer be report - the fan be not obtrusive and be quieter than a lot of other projector that I have use . the light weight and size be perfect for true portability . the construction be by no means flimsy - very solid and robust . my aaa + + + purchase of the year . +498 Projector POS 5 a previous review warn not to use this if bulb burst . this be not correct . I wait to install this second bulb before write this -lrb- this be the second one to burst due to the over 3000 hour use -rrb- . I remove the old burst bulb and see that the damage be contain within the bulb housing . just to insure the best image , I carefully clean the color wheel with a damp qtip and rotate it to get it clean . the new bulb work good as new . my x1 projector image have never look better . if you have any doubt it seem that the bulb can be return as per amazon 's return policy . by the way , I get my bulb from Amazon in 3 day with free shipping . +453 Projector POS 5 this little projector be amazing for its price and it dose true 720p . i use it for watch movie -lrb- blu ray look great on it -rrb- , watch sport and pc gaming -lrb- mosty -rrb- . i know poeple will say it not the best compare it to larger and more expensive 720p projector but you can not go wrong with this baby . +768 Projector POS 5 we order this because we older tv finally give out on we . I have to say that I be extremely pleased with this product . if there be some light in the room the picture be still very good . I would not say hd quality but it be a projector what do you expect . in a dark room hook up to we hd box the image project on we plain wall be better than the hd tv we buy a couple year ago !! it really be a great product . I imagine that with a screen behind it during the day would make the quality of the picture better . I would recommend this to anyone . for the price especially you can not beat it . +938 Projector POS 5 I live in a condo and have no room for a 100 '' permanent screen . I have a nice tv and surround sound setup , but for special movie or event I want a BIG picture . so I buy this screen with the intention of put it in front of my tv when need . this way I can still sit on my couch and still have my speaker orient correctly , etc. . some of the review scare the heck out I . -lrb- damaged arrival , etc -rrb- . Mine be package very well . first I have to remove tie wrap that hold cardboard corner edge on all 4 side ; much like a molding that run down the entire length of the box . then , I open the box to find another box inside that one ! open the inner box reveal foam wrap material and foam corner . the screen be inside this . it be in perfect condition ! the only criticism I can see be that it be not 100 % flat . but roll up\/down screen never be . I watch a movie , play some PS3 , and the lack of perfect flatness be not noticeable to I . in all , I love the purchase ! I consider give it 4 star since it be not `` perfectly flat '' , but then give it 5 because its not fair to expect that and more importantly it be not noticeable . +753 Projector POS 5 we love we television , and after 3 year the original lamp be still work ! this be we 3rd front projection tv , and it be by far the most dependable -lrb- previous benq and InFocus model be ok -rrb- . the features\/function mix be not perfect , but practical for the budget range of this device . the throw distance of 18 foot across we family room be superb . we have 3800 hour on the manufacturer 's lamp after 3 year of use , and its 2500 lumen continue to shine bright ! when we consider we next lamp replacement compare to a new tv of comparable price , we 'll most likely stick with the Epson ex51 and a new lamp because we be so happy with we family tv . we hope you 'll be as thrill as we have be . +310 Projector POS 5 I receive the product undamaged , shipping be prompt . it take I all of 5 minute to figure out how it work , and I be instantly amaze at how clear a picture I could get out of such a small device . it claim to be 720 pixel of resolution , and I would say it achieve that goal . I have currently get it blow up to about 60 inch , and the picture be still satisfy . the device have option for adjust keystone , brightness , and color . it also have a handy focus knob . you can hook it up to anything that have rca output , I have mine attach to a dvd player and it work fantastically for that . pro : very affordable -lrb- much cheaper than a flatscreen tv -rrb- , good picture quality , quiet fan , easy to use , extremely portable , impressive . con : the picture can be a little dim if use in a room with too much light . also the tripod it come with leaf something to be desire . at the angle I have it at , it be far too easy to knock it over . also the internal speaker be pretty weak , but it be easy to attach it to my external bookshelf speaker . +508 Projector NEU 3 if you only want to use this projector to watch sport in hdtv , then I suspect you will be quite satisfied . in a dark room with hdtv it can be truly breathtaking ! keep in mind that you will not get a good picture until you have eliminate almost all surround light . but , the `` rainbow effect '' make watch movie almost painful . Whenever the movie have a bright light mix with a dark background you will not see a white light , but a fast-moving rainbow . I have not see this when watch sport . normal analog tv channel do not look very good on a project screen like this . even digital channel look grainy . but hdtv look awesome ! there be not really a `` screen door effect '' in hd to speak of . I get a huge 100 '' picture at about 14 foot away . at $ 700 , I consider this projector to be a bargain . even though this projector seem to be ideal for hdtv sport , I be concern about the ability to view future hdtv signal because this projector be not compliant with the hdcp stanard that may govern future hdtv broadcast . if that happen in the US , like it have in Europe , this projector would become worthless . the noise level of this projector be higher than I expect , but once the sound be on you hardly notice . +323 Projector POS 5 this mount fit my Mitsubishi hc1500 perfectly . it have all the hardware I need and a very generous amount of extra hardware , enough to adapt it to any projector . it be adjustable 360 degree around , about 90 up and down , and side to side a couple of inch . it be easy to install . the only downfall be that I do not realize it be white and I would have prefer black . my fault . +29 Projector POS 5 buy this to function as a home and business projector . we have only use it at home . it be pretty much fool proof ... just plug and play . we have a concrete wall with a ton of texture . the paint color be probably eggshell . it be be really clear . I do not even notice the cinder block line while view the movie . apparently it be make to go on any surface . I do purchase 3 yard of black out fabric -lrb- white drapery lining -rrb- for $ 5\/yd online . if you google\/youtube how to make you own screen , that be what they use . it be 60 '' wide . anyway , I have not use that yet , but I suspect it will be really good since this projector do great on we textured wall . it do not get hot and you do not have to -lrb- at least I do not see that anywhere in the instruction -rrb- wait for it to cool down before turn it off . the case be not great ... it be just a neoprene or something similar that you have to slide in sideways vs. just drop it in from the top , but as long as you have a safe place to store it , it do not really matter . the sound be good for use in we very large open ceiling room , but I have it about 2\/3 of the way up and it be not extremely loud . we have very small child , so it be not blast as I know many people like it . so , if you be plan on use it outside , and you like it really loud , you might consider add some extra umph . oh ... and some people mention this , but it be at least decent with all the light on ... and on another night in the late afternoon ... before the sun go down it do fine . of course , nothing like have all the light off . it be a real pain that the remote do not have a backlight . it do not sound that bad when I read one reviewer say that , but in reality , it be a total pain . I hope Epson update that some how and make it available for purchase . a remote mean to be use in the dark with no backlight make no sense at all . overall , we love it ! I be sick because the price be $ 499 when I first see it and the next day it have jump to $ 592 . have not go back down since . ca not wait to use it outside . +992 Projector POS 5 simple simple simple simple simple simple simple simple simple simple simple simple simple Works very easy to install . I be very happy with the quality . best regards , Avi Moyal http:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/ +73 Projector POS 5 Got this projector this past spring to replace my well-loved but long-in-the-tooth Sony hs20 and all I can say be WOW !! awesome , awesome picture right out of the box with any and all source material . 3d with blu-rays look really great as well , 3d through Verizon Fios not as much -lrb- although I have not yet try espn3d -rrb- . great control and super-quiet operation . highly recommend as the jewel of you home theater . +720 Projector NEG 2 I buy a pc last year with the nVidia 3d system , it come with a Samsung monitor and it look fantastic . I instantly think `` i need a bigger screen '' so I go to nVidia 's page to view compatible display . the Optoma hd66 be and still be list as be compatible an support . so I buy one ... well guess what ? it be neither compatible or currently support . if you search the nvidium page you will find that if you hd66 be build before August of 2010 -lrb- that be right , August of 2010 ! -rrb- it will not work . I then call Optoma tech support and be tell by the phone tech that in order for it to work , it have to be send back to the factory for modification and that I would be responsible for the shipping ... I tell the guy that that be outrageous and I would simply return it and get something that actually do work as advertise . in case you wonder , I purchase the Acer h5360 . . I should have purchase it the first time around , not only do the 3d work flawlessly , it have way more feature than the hd66 like `` auto keystone , auto orientation , color wall compensation '' to name a few . if you look for a 3d projector that really deliver , you can wait two month till the actually compatible hd66 's hit the street -lrb- and hope they work -rrb- or you can get the Acer h5360 . of course deal with Amazon be the only way to go , the return of the hd66 be simple and I be enjoy real 3d in my living room on the Acer . +217 Projector POS 4 the Epson Powerlite 1775w be very light and very easy to set up . the picture quality and brightness be excellent even with light turn on . I be very happy with this equipment . +263 Projector POS 5 I love my Epson Powerlite s1 . I use it regularly for PowerPoint presentation in office setting and as a big screen tv in we home theater . for PowerPoint it do a tremendous job , provide clean , crisp image . for home theater the room can not be too bright in order to see all of the detail , but that be a small concession to make for a projector that offer ease of use , very good quality , affordable replacement bulb price , and enough power to get the job do - all for under $ 1000 . very tough to beat this deal ! +598 Projector POS 5 this be my fourth projector and my second unit use a DLP chip . I can easily see rainbow in single chip dlp projector but this one almost completely eliminate they . I can still see a few rainbow , especially when there be bright object in a mostly dark scene , but it be hardly noticeable to I and none of my friend have be able to see they yet . if you be one of the few people who be bother by the rainbow effect , you may still want to demo this projector before purchase it online . I be originally use a gray screen in a light-controlled media room but the black with the darkchip3 be so good I move to a Stewart Filmscreen studiotek130 screenwall and the picture be spectacular . I recommend use a white screen with this unit . there be no gap between pixel or mirror dimple so the image be silky smooth . after calibrate with dve , the color be incredible . Colors pop , black be black and whites be white . Optoma have a zero dead pixel policy and a nice warranty . they also offer affordable -lrb- cheap , imo -rrb- extend warranty and upgrade service plan to meet you need . if you be in the market for a top-of-the-line single chip dlp projector , I honestly do not think you can get much better than this . +324 Projector POS 5 I get mine for 299 from Dell web site . that be still a hefty price - wait 5 year and you will find better one for 99 . I be a artist and I work by project color slide on my paper or canvas . I have need to go digital for a long time , but the standard laptop projector be big , heavy , noisy , expensive , and too bright . the new little one either do not connect to a laptop or get terrible review . this one be just right . it be also fun to project movie on the bedroom wall , but remember , the brightness be 50 lumen , and you standard video projector be about 2,000 , so you want total darkness and it be still not the same . the projector be tiny , light and quiet , and have a lot of nifty sophisticated electronics , BUT THERE 's no tripod screw socket !!! , the cable and connector be bulky and awkward , the cord to the laptop be only 2 ' long -lrb- get a extension -rrb- but it be the best one on the market so far . +131 Projector POS 5 the discovery projector be much better than i could have ever imagine for such a low budget projector this item pack a punch the picture be amazing i hook it up to surround sound although you dont have to the speaker on the unit be also very sufficient and i run a check on replacement bulb much more affordable than other projector replacement price for bulb around 3 to 5 buck wow also last around 10,000 hour which be amazing despite other negative review on this item you wont here that from I consider ive have 60 inch hd flat screen tv plus 46 inch big screen and several other tv recently short out the discovery projector save the day for I +540 Projector NEU 3 its like a erector set . lot of part . it will come together but it take a assembler a good 2 hour to figure it out . the fit be tight upon assembly . you will need to hammer some piece together on assembly . its that tight . the anchor base be the hardest to assemble and require tool not suggest by the direction to make it work . once the bracket be assemble it be fairly easy to manipulate . provide plenty of adjustment configuration . nice powder coating of paint . however tight fitting piece will chip and scratch the paint off in the connection area . if tight on budget but not time this be a good device . +0 Projector POS 4 good enough and cheap , great for use at home ! I completely quote the second review ! enjoy this nice projector ! ; -rrb- +692 Projector POS 5 I have use this mount in two different area in my house . it be very versatile . very sturdy and well build . +942 Projector POS 5 I have research for a while for the best Pico Projector right now . after see all the trust review -lrb- TechCrunch , PC World , etc -rrb- I think this would be the brightest Pico projector with the most functionality . I be one of those guy that may not ever use all the option on a device , but like to have that option available if ever the time for it come up . the p4 do not disappoint , for something so little , it be very bright . I be surprise to see how bright this thing be ! I use it to connect to my lap top and watch movie because I tend to travel a lot and watch with friend . they all love it too . the one thing that be a minor annoyance be the fan , but if you be watch a movie with the speaker on , it be not so bad . I would recommend this to a friend . +412 Projector POS 5 I be very satisfied with this purchase . product be a good value and arrive in excellent condition . I review many brand and model and select the Epson 705HD base on performance and budget . anything better would have be twice the price . my family and I be enjoy movie on the big screen . +315 Projector POS 5 I love this projector ! it give a very bright display and do not require absolute darkness . very easy to use feature , but impossible to use if you only have a computer with usb port . I have to get rid of my all-in - one to use it . +360 Projector POS 4 I get one of these for father day this year . we have be use it 2 - 3x 's per week for movie night since . we find the picture quality to be good -lrb- we be project on a 8 ' W x 5 ' h screen from a distance of about 17 foot -rrb- . we hook up some wireless speaker to create a ` surround sound ' effect & it feel like we be at the theater ! my only issue be : the unit be pretty hot after watch a full movie -lrb- you can still touch it but the heat be considerable -rrb- ; Battery life will not get you through a full movie - so we end up use the adapter only . I would definitely suggest this to a friend -lrb- in fact my brother-in-law be pick one up -rrb- . +146 Projector NEG 1 have be able to use mine for about 40 hour . after that it fail to respond to any input from any source . contact Benq and they say there be nothing they could do but send it in for repair since they have be have problem with these unit . send it in and get it back . it work once during a test preparation for a presentation but once again fail to acknowledge any input when turn on the next day during the actual presentation . contact Benq and they say I could have it repair -lrb- be not repair last time -rrb- or receive a refurbish unit -lrb- someone else 's problem -rrb- . so be work on my third round , maybe I 'll be lucky this time . it will be my last Benq product . I can not recommend the product or company . +624 Projector POS 5 it arrive as expect , very good quality and feature for home usage . I highly recommend this product as a home theater . +273 Projector POS 4 I buy this projector last month and i be impressed with the brightness in ECO mode . I use it only to watch movie and sport . I shoot a 120 inch image on my living room white wall , it be awesome . it be worth every penny . can not beat it for the price . +596 Projector NEU 3 have this projector for about a year now , so I have have plenty of time to mess around with it . the picture quality be subpar when compare to most modern tv and the refresh rate seem pretty low . I still prefer to watch movie on my other tv and only really use this to play PS3 and Wii game on . even with the less than ideal picture , it be a great value and well worth the price . my son and I enjoy play game on it especially since we play alot of split screen game and even with the screen split we can still easily see we section of the screen due to we overall screen size be around 100 inch . as other have say , the fan in this unit be really loud . I be wonder if you can replace it with something else , since it appear to be the same size\/type as the fan you would find in a computer . also , the lack of a zoom function mean you need to move the unit closer\/further away from you screen to change the size . this limit you mounting\/install option . +505 Projector POS 5 I purchase the Optoma hd66 a few week ago and I be very impressed with its performance . the projector size be compact with a quiet fan and picture quality be extremely good . set up be a breeze and the 720p image via HDMI be superb . I couple it with the Optoma 3D-XL adapter for 3d projection and be extremely pleased with the 3d output -lrb- although one do tend to lose some picture brightness -rrb- . I would describe the overall value at this price range as excellent . the ability to also project 3d -lrb- with the 3d-xl adapter -rrb- with great result make this a fantastic solution for 3d projection on a budget . fantastic projector ! +71 Projector NEG 1 I order a `` sharp Electronics ... Projector Lamp '' and expect it to be a genuine sharp product . a generic substitute be ship . I could have purchase a generic product for a lesser price but choose to go with a sharp brand . I be disappointed with this form of business ethic and will not order from MrginMart again . Jim R +805 Projector POS 5 I purchase this item for company use base upon the review I read here . this unit exceed we expectation . keep in mind that I be review a new product -lrb- 1 month old -rrb- so I can not speak to durability . however , the unit seem well build by today 's standard and everything work well out of the box . the upside that we have so far observe be as follow : the unit be very easy to set up . it need almost no preparation to start show dvd . as for connect we computer , I use the provide VGA cable and it immediately recognize my computer . the picture be amazingly clear , even in a light room . -lrb- we be not aware that this be a hdmus capable unit . we will not necessarily be use that function anytime soon , but it be worth note -rrb- . the dvd play nicely and be easy to control . we recently have a problem with a dvd in a important presentation , which be why we begin look to upgrade . I wish we have this unit at that time ! the internal sound be exceptional ! we primary presentation room be 45 ' x 100 ' , and we do not even need to turn the unit all the way up for everyone to hear the presentation loud and clear . it automatically play the sound from dvd , but if we run sound through a computer we need to hook up a audio cable which we have to purchase separately for $ 14.00 . the sound quality from dvd be superior to the sound quality from the computer . we have not use the microphone function , so I can not comment on that feature . the other feature I like be these ; easy remote control , the slide lens cover be build in rather than separate , screen balance function allow for a nice `` in proportion '' picture , the fan be pretty quiet , and dual front leg rather than just one . the price although not cheap , be acceptable and fall within we budget . the only downside observe be that the provide carry case be a little flimsy . it be not bad , but it be not that good either . I highly recommend this product for small to medium multi-media presentation . P.S. I have come back now to add to my review . this projector continue to work flawlessly even though other office group constantly borrow it . it be hold up well and it have eliminate previous presentation problem we have encounter with we previous projector . we have also add the microphone , both wire and wireless -lrb- purchase from Radio Shack -rrb- . they work really well , but note we need to also purchase a adapter to size down from 1\/4 '' standard jack to 1\/8 '' computer size so these mic will fit into the projector . P.P.S. another return to add to my review . I be so pleased with this machine that I just buy another one . this one arrive with a cord microphone include . this be unexpected and I think that be pretty cool . +857 Projector NEG 1 I 'll chime in that mine , too , shut off randomly and will not allow I to do anything useful with it . I think it be a great thing to play Guitar Hero on , since there be no lag and it have a good picture , but 3 month later and it just shut off for fun . if someone could post a nice repair guide for it I would love to take a look . there be no way I be send it to Kansas like the other guy who make a comment . +39 Projector NEG 2 I purchase the Optoma PT100 PlayTime lead gaming Projector not as a gaming projector , but to project my computer screen for team meeting . the quality be barely satisfactory , but usable when first turn on . the quality diminish the longer the projector be on , within the first hour the quality be so poor we could not continue with the presentation . Amazon make it very easy to return this product . +808 Projector POS 4 it be not the brightest projector but it work well in a dark room . I use this for `` drive in movie night '' on my garage and it work great . it really shine up close though with the image under 55 '' or so . most people probably buy this for business or some practical purpose but I buy it just to use with my tablet for play game or watch movie while camping , etc. . the only downfall I have find be that it be way dimmer when run on battery and it wont last long enough for a full movie . I wish there be a external battery system for it that would allow it to work on full brightness for 3 + hour . if you be look for a tiny projector that can be use anywhere , this be the best I could find and I be very happy I buy it . +77 Projector POS 5 I have have the product now for over a month . I can not find a flaw . the flashlight be handy and it work . the sound be excellent -lrb- we baby find they soothing -rrb- . and the projector work well and have excellent range . +5 Projector POS 5 the item be ship exactly as describe and work perfectly . it be package very well and work immediately upon plug in . I be so thrill to find such a excellent product and a great price , I will definitely consider this seller again . +475 Projector POS 5 I parece un estupendo producto que reune en pocas libras las caracteristicas deseadas en un proyector , la conexion via usb I parece muy util para evitar los enredos con lo cable . La viveza de los colores es muy buena tambien . +45 Projector POS 4 my wife use it for enlarge artwork : she sketch at a convenient size , photograph the sketch , and the project the image onto a large canvas for trace . the device be handy and adequately bright to project a enlarged image in a well-lighted work area and be truly perfect for the application . the device ship with a simple quick-start guide , but the full manual be available for download from 3M ; have the manual be a comfort but it be really unnecessary unless there be a malfunction with the device . it would get five star except for a couple of negative : 1 -rrb- operation be intermittent apparently due to a bad battery connection ; however Amazon replace the original unit within five day of be notify 2 -rrb- while it support jpeg apparently there be jpeg and then there be jpeg : my wife use two camera , a Nikon SLR and a Nikon pocket camera ; image from the slr transfer via computer to the device with no problem , but image from the pocket camera give a `` format not support '' message . the workaround be simple , just run the image through any photoshop-like application to reformat it and it work fine but it be puzzling that the problem exist at all . as state in other review , this device be not really suitable for project presentation for group , but I would highly recommend it for any more intimate setting such as display of photograph to a friend -lrb- set it on a table and project onto a sheet of white cardboard work fine -rrb- and it be absolutely perfect for my wife 's art application . +629 Projector NEG 1 this projector need a lot of darkness in the room . the focus on it be very sensitive also . you basically get what you pay for , do not have high expectation for this device . +128 Projector POS 5 I buy this projector for my classroom and it have be great ! it be quiet and do not overheat easily . I use this on and off for 6 hour a day and I have not have any problem ! +134 Projector POS 5 I purchase this projector because of its size , I can easily carry it with I from home , classroom , and meeting . it fit in my purse and along with a netbook make for a very versatile , easy to carry system . the image be bright clear and easy to see , and the speaker be very good . we child hook they computer up and view the screen on the living room and they bedroom wall . it be easy to move around ~ one of the girl use it with she rocket team in the backseat of the van so all team member could see and discuss the computer output , and need change for the next qualify launch . it can be use everywhere , even outside to watch show on the front porch . the price make it most affordable . I have be delighted to have it . +538 Projector POS 4 I originally want a 3d led tv , but my wife convinced I to go with a projector for the den . this projector work very well . 3d effect be great : -rrb- and even the 2d to 3d upscaling feature work well -lrb- for depth 3d -rrb- . very quiet during operation . 2d color and picture be clear as crystal at 92 inch screen . I do realize that bulb go fairly quickly on these , so I will purchase a back-up just in case . +821 Projector POS 5 I be very happy with this purchase . this work great for watch movie ! I use a new white sheet and hang it on the wall with thumb tack . for the price this projector deliver a nice 60 '' picture . I would highly recommend this product and seller ! +339 Projector POS 4 I have be run my ep719 as a third monitor and\/or tv for near 2 month now and be quite pleased with its performance to date . it do not balk at extended gaming session or movie marathon , and the resolution be high enough to still see detail . it perform admirably with game such as Halo 3 , the Unreal Tournament 3 demo , and Hellgate : London . the color become a little wash out when my room light be on , or the window shades be open , but the screen be still easily visible -lrb- and playable , for gamer -rrb- . but in a darkened room , it work wonder . the only thing keep it from a 5 out of 5 be the visibility of color wheel artifact -lrb- rainbow effect -rrb- when display highly contrast area -lrb- ie : power line run across a open sky in a move shot - the dark line and immediate area waver with shimmering color -rrb- . but from what I have see at this point , the majority of view material do not contain high enough contrast to make this much of a issue . all in all , I be happy with the projector , and would recommend it as a basic entry-level projector for people such as myself who be new to the projector scene . +757 Projector POS 4 well , now there be a new model that be perhaps quite better , but this be a wonderful piece ... +364 Projector POS 5 very sturdy and solid construction . mount to a Dell 2400 projector be a little bit tricky because the projector only have one hole and I think this mount be for three hole . anyway , I figure it out and now it just sit there hold up the projector . the wall mount screw be a bit long - I use some shorter one that work better . I be happy with this product and would buy it again . +539 Projector NEU 3 the screw be too tight so i round all of they try to slacken they +833 Projector POS 5 the time from order to delivery be very good . I love the projector . it do just as describe in they literature . clear picture in a dimly light room and very good picture in a dark room . the fan be a little loud but if there be some background sound it be not noticeable . actually not much different from some bulb type projector I have work with . overall I would recommend this projector . +482 Projector POS 5 I have have this projector setup since oct '04 and use it as a daily tv . I currently have it project on to a blank wall , which work just fine . I have log over 1000 hr on the unit and it be still work great . it do not work well in a brightly light room , but with only low watt accent light it seem to be just fine . I have it setup with my computer and use a hdtv ota card and the image blow I away . I use a dvd player on the s-video and it seem to run fine , although the only way to get the crisp hd be to use the XGA port . the only time I have really notice anything on it and this be pretty small , but on a really dark movie and say there be a light post or car light drive by ... if you look away at that point you 'll see a rainbow tracer as you look away in the shape of that white light . oh and Analog cable seem to be a little grainy and be really noticeable on cartoon like the Simpsons . but with high def or digital cable you should be just fine . I would recomend if you can find one at a reasonable price to buy a ceiling mount . I just buy one and install it last week and the native off-axis angle be set to be ceiling mount so no need to keystone . the remote be a small credit card size with bubble button . the source button go out on I after 4 month , but there be a option in the menu to have auto-searching on the source so you do not have to change it manually . the pip option be kind of cool with 9 different positioning for it and two different size small and medium . and on a 6 ' x 6 ' wall the small be hard to see . let see what else , oh the fan noise be very quiet . the spin up of the xbox dvd 's be louder . I choose this one over the 6100 because of the native resolution . 1024 x 768 -lrb- max 85hz -rrb- on the 6200 vs the 800x600 on the 6100 . I have play halo2 , halflife2 , rise of Nations , watch dvd 's from Futurama - avp , use it as a daily tv - host a great Superbowl party . this be a must have in my book . Hope this help as a review ... +935 Projector POS 4 so I buy one of these after I read all the review and jsut have to see it for myself . it be advertise as hd 1080 so I figure how bad could it be ? I have have this projector for a week and I have determine that for what I pay it be really not bad . on my unit if you be not use a hdmus connection the picture be not great . with my DIRECTTV hd box and a 25 ' HDMI cable the picture be good at about a 72 '' x 72 '' square -lrb- it scale it to a 4:3 image-no widescreen -rrb- on a wall paint a burnt orange-i have a 70x70 screen on the way and imagine the picture will be nice for movie and sport . the fan be loud sit next to I on a table but mount on the ceiling not so much . the speaker of the unit be loud enough for a basement rec room but I plan on get some sort of sound system eventually . for 200 buck honestly I can not complain about it one bit . it be what be it a entry level projector . the picture be good for 200 I have a wall-sized tv and the sound be fine from the unit . use av cable the picture be not very good on my unit but i want it mainly for my hd box and occasional dvd 's and will just switch out the HDMI cable . as far as I can tell the only way to get a hd-type picture be with the HDMI cable . +726 Projector POS 4 I have always want a projector and be excite to put the Epson VS series vs210 3lcd to work when I receive it . Problem . it do not come with all of the cord it be capable of be connect to . after search my house for day -lrb- because I be hopeful to find one and not have to purchase one -rrb- I finally find the cord I need . once the cord glitch be take care of this projector be a snap to use . after hook it up to my computer it be very easy to install and download what I need . I use the projector to view photo from a vacation and be very impressed with the clarity and the ease of use the remote as well as the projector itself . it be also very easy to get into focus , and be a product that will work well for home or office . if you be a photographer you 'll have fun show off you photo , and I can think of many work\/school\/4h project that this projector will come in handy for . if you need to take it on the go , it be lightweight and hook up quickly , it also seem well make . I really do not have anything to compare it to since I have never use one before , but I be happy with the quality of this Epson Projector . +983 Projector POS 5 Time to install : 1h tool require : drill + bit -lrb- for mount hole -rrb- , metric hex key ease of installation : medium -lrb- read the manual make all the difference -rrb- satisfaction with final installation : high I buy this mount to ceiling mount my Viewsonic Cine1000 DLP projector and find this kit to be perfect . I have a low , sloping ceiling with expose beam in my entertainment\/multi-media room , so the 6-axis adjustability , couple with the low profile , really help to turn the projector from a obstruction to a asset ! a couple of note from my installation experience : 1 . plan out you installation before start - this will save you oodles of time and prevent you from install and then re-installing 2 . dry-fit the projector to the mount bracket before mount it to the ceiling to make sure that it will hold you projector the way you want it 3 . have a friend help when you need to mount the projector to the ceiling bracket - it will make alignment much faster 4 . think about how the wire be go to run to the projector once you be do so you can incorporate the right length of conduit side note - I be a engineer , so I do not get frustrate with all of the adjustment and mount hole as some other reviewer do ... instead it be a wonderful little puzzle to do . however , I can see how people could get frustrated , so dry fit the assembly first : -rrb- +94 Projector POS 5 Works well as advertise , with good color and easy to use . I like not have to bother with focus the image . I wish the picture be bigger , but it be big enough for small presentation in a dark room . much more convenient than carry a big projector around , but be not as big as the picture you would get with a regular powerpoint projector +170 Projector POS 5 purchase this when it first come out . use it in conjunction with a 10 ' out door blow up movie screen for family movie . great picture quality , Neighborhood kid usually show up to watch movie also . would highly recommend . can not beat the price , size and quality of the unit . +232 Projector POS 4 I buy this projector 2 day ago , and I have to say , it be better than expect . I try it out with a photo slideshow I create on my laptop . the picture quality be absolutely satisfactory ; even in a room that be not completely dark . I save the slide show in mp4 on a SDHC card and have some start difficulty , because the the projector `` tell '' I that this format be not support . a phone call to Aaxa 's customer service solve this problem in less than 10 minute . Aaxa 's customer service be second to none . I reach a representative without have to go through painful step with a voice recognition computer . this representative send explain to I what the problem be -lrb- codec issue -rrb- and send I the solution , a link to FormatFactory , by email in less than 5 minute after I hang up the phone . I convert the slideshow with this application and it work like a charm afterwards . tha p1 Jr. be a nice little gadget , and in my opinion deliver a better quality than one would expect for a 100-bucks projector . a flexible minus tripod , mini usb to usb adapter , and av cable be include . it be easy to use , and I be sure I will have lot of fun with it in the future . the only con be , that it do not have a connection for external speaker . the internal speaker do not really cut it . +234 Projector POS 4 I wish it be little bit better . 1 . native resolution of 1080p . -lrb- native resolution : 800 x 600 -lrb- svga -rrb- , which be old enough -rrb- 2 . support hdmus 1.2 or better 1.3 I will take this projector . Hopefully Epson will listen to user comment +520 Projector POS 5 it be easy to use , small , compact and low weight , the clarity of picture , pircture quality be nice , it work very good with daylight and even better with no light , I have not test the function of 3d because I do not have video card but I supuosse that it be good too +191 Projector NEG 1 I do a lot of presentation , and the most important thing I need be the ability to control the presentation -lrb- move the powerpoint slide up and down -rrb- from the remote . this projector do not allow you to do that . when I call Optoma to ask how to use the remote to do this -lrb- think I be miss something -rrb- , they say they have make a marketing decision to not put that feature into they cheaper projector . well , they may think $ 650 be cheap , but that be real money for something that do not do the most basic thing need in a business projector . the remote be also miss a `` hide '' function , which I find very useful . if you do not need either of these function , the projector be fine . also , if you be a road warrior like I be , 5 pound end up be too heavy . Stick to a 3 pound model . Optoma make one , it cost about $ 1000 , it probably have all the miss function , but after this experience I will not be go back to they . I 'll most likely be buy another Planar . +358 Projector NEU 3 this be a neat little devise , but it be not easy to understand . the internal space be say to be around 54mb but in actuality it be only about 20mb . I can not get the dual viewing -lrb- laptop and projector -rrb- to work and the so call user guide be a joke . all in all disappointing for the amount of money pay . not happy at all . +26 Projector POS 5 we have have the original for 5 year when this one finally give up the ghost . we use it for the purpose of theater entertainment and have serve we well . in the 5 year we use 2.5 lamp -lrb- 1\/2 use be still in the broken unit -rrb- . for the price it sure beat buy a 60 '' tv set , and we have a 120 '' screen . thanks for a great product . +85 Projector POS 4 I receive the projector in a quick time especially due to I be overseas . the projector be awesome and I have ZERO complaint ! +281 Projector POS 5 I have use many projector in my career but never use a InFocus Projector . when I buy it I like the price and decide to give it a try . the projector be send to I in a very timely fashion . it be use but in great shape and very easy to use . all in all this have be a good experience +23 Projector POS 5 great screen . Works excellent . own for 1 month now and no issue . smell bad when it be first open but that go away in a couple day . can not beat it for the price . +932 Projector NEU 3 this projector ceiling mount be economical and do the job of hold my Optoma projector up in the ceiling . Amazon have help I set up my family movie room by have all the a\/v product available . +214 Projector POS 4 I end up buy this Epson as it have the combination I be look for : size : as I need something very portable . money : as I do not want to spend over $ 600 . clarity : as I need to do PowerPoint presentation in well light medium size room with audience from 5-70 . I would say the this projecter exceed my expectation in all 3 category . the size be smaller than I expect . it fit perfectly along with my MacBook in the same briefcase which be not that big . the usb connection to my Mac work great and no setup need . it connect to my Mac via usb and via the include video cable -lrb- of course you need to have the MAC video adaptor if you wih to use the standard video cable -rrb- . calrity be great and the picture be sharp in the native 1024x768 resolution , enough in a well light room with a screen size of about 100 '' use economy mode . the only caveat be the fan sound be a bit loud , so in a smaller area it will be noticeable and will require you shift to economy mode , which be extremely reasonable . my thought be the projector small size have to do with the fan be noisy as there be no easy way to discharge so much heat through a small opening without much noise . lead projecto size be so small be tempting , but be a bit on the weak side for daylight . I check all of they -lrb- Optoma , Viewsonic , Acer and LG -rrb- . Casio be awesome but cost be -rrb- $ 800 , and the fan get a bit loud on this model as well . to get something in this size in lcd , I would have have to go to SVGA -lrb- 800x600 -rrb- . so for a combination of size , clarity and cost , this one be the best I could find . for $ 500 , this be a great deal . the carry case that come with it be great look and very functional , although I do not use it as like I say before - it fit in my pc case with ease . bottom line , if you need something that to use for powerpoint presentation and travels in the same case as you notebook , this be the one . it be easy to connect , it turn on and shut down super fast , and it auto correct its positining in a smart way . for the clarity and size , it be worth more than $ 500 . if you do not care about the size , there be many other option that will not be as loud as this one . +318 Projector POS 4 I love the screen . Easy to set up . arrive early . packaging be great . -lrb- seem almost overdo -rrb- all the mechanism work . the screen be flawless and easy to clean . why the four star , you might ask ? when I open the box , I be surprise at how well it be package . no way , this be go to be damage while be ship . however , there be two spot on the metal that be bent . I do not know how it would have happen , because there be no scrape on it . just two bend . this in no way affect the screen or the use of the screen assembly . it do what it be suppose to and look great ! deserve five star for the quality , but think everyone need to know about the bend . +92 Projector POS 5 I have be use this projector for about a month . so far , no problem . Picture quality be very good for a projector price under $ 200 . I order on a Thursday and receive it on Monday . definitely recommend . +497 Projector POS 5 this be my first projector mount , and will likely be my last . I be very hesitant to install a mount to begin with , my handyman skill be somewhat lack , but I really need to get my projector up and out of the way . I use this with a Epson 8350 . install the bracket onto the projector be a breeze , as be install the mount into the ceiling . the fine tuning of the positioning of the projector in the mount take a little time , but only because of my `` OCD '' . the adjustment screw hold the projector firmly in position and I have have zero issue with vibration or have to re-adjust the mount . for the price , this mount simply can not be beat imho . +377 Projector POS 5 I manage to get a PS3 and know I need a new hd projector to properly represent the blu-ray movie and next-gen game . after search for month over the net I finally find ton of good review on the pt ax100u and decide to go for it . even though it be native resolution be 720p , it be HDMI input accept 1080p\/60 even 1080p\/24 ! plus it handle all the resolution below . boy be I impress ! the jump in quality of even the sd tv image be immediately noticable ! it do a good job of upscale my current sd satellite line up . the PS3 set itself to 1080p when connect to this projector and the picture look excellant . the blu-ray movie be very clean and sharp ! the brightness be finally good enough to still watch program with the curtain a bit open and a decent amount of light come through . it look like a massive lcd or plasma screen . the color and contrast be very good as well . I be very happy with this purchase and so be all my friend and guest who come over and be shock by the clarity and brightness ! let 's hope it work well for a long time to come . +221 Projector NEG 2 in December 2002 I purchase a x1 -lrb- see my review under infocus x1 -rrb- and this projector be still go strong and I love it . if you can find a use one , I would still definitely rcommend it . note that if you be use it in a dusty area , you must clean the bulb filter about every six month -lrb- I blow the first bulb at a year by not do this -rrb- . however , I have a very different experience with the x1a . the composite video be never as good as the x1 which would seem to be because it have a different , inferior decoder . after a little more than a year it start make a loud buzz noise and then it quit . since I only have a 1 year warranty , I decide to just forget about it . I have since replace it with a refurbish infocus 4805 which so far be work great and be reasonably quiet . Stay away from the x1a . I give it 2 star because for the year it do work it be excellent for play dvd 's from the computer . +337 Projector POS 5 this be a winner . Works very well , color be good , and adjustable , frame alignment for key ning be good , quite a package for the price ! +733 Projector POS 5 I purchase the pro8200 to replace a aging Infocus x1 that still work great but be little use after my purchase of a 52 '' hd lcd tv 5 year ago . the x1 be not hd . see price drop to below $ 1k on 1080p projector I do a little research and decide it be time to jump to hd for my ` man Cave ' theater which get little use since the 52 '' lcd set become the primary viewing experience in the living room . if you do you own research you will find the pro8200 offer 2000 lumen and about the longest lamp life you 'll find -lrb- 4000 hr standard\/6000 hr eco -rrb- -- yes , 6000 hour . and , it be plenty bright on eco mode . this thing be a light cannon . the image be full 1080p hd and be really eye poppingly great . when you first turn it on you might get a bit concerned when you can not quite get the ViewSonic logo to focus really crisp . do not FRET ... the logo be not hd . when you play a hd source the true excellence of the full 1080p image will be see it all its glory . I see no rbe -lrb- heck , I do not see any rbe even with the x1 so I must be immune anyway -rrb- . I also do not see any horizontal panning or judder issue that other mention . maybe those with issue have older firmwared unit ? the build date on my pro8200 be May 2012 . another factor in my purchase decision and a feature I really like be the range of zoom available on the pro8200 . this allow more flexibility in distance to screen placement . if you get one , do not forget to go into the menu 's to turn off ` quick on ' and ` quick off ' as that will enable the unit to cool off the bulb when power down with about 30-60 seconds of extra fan time on the bulb after it go dark . you may also want to enable eco mode to get the insane 6000 hour bulb life . if you be on the fence get off and get one of these ; you will not be disappoint . +33 Projector NEG 1 this product seem to come with improper part , the instructions\/separation of item be incredibly difficult to understand , and at the end of the day that piece work so poorly that I through it out and just install a shelf for my projector instead . do not buy it . +196 Projector NEG 1 we purchase a BenQ pb 6100 . if the overall quality of the projector be fine , such be not the case of the lamp which blow up in less than 6 week !!! and worse benq do NOT honor they international guarantee and the support center do not respond to the email for exchange the lamp -lrb- price 400 $ ! -rrb- . overall a very poor support . my last boxlight lamp be still run after 4 year . this be my first benq but surely the last . a strong suggestion , do not buy BenQ . +353 Projector NEG 1 as of this point we have be unable to connect we Mac laptop and get it to show the screen . why do they not say it will not work with a Mac ? +62 Projector POS 5 the price and ease of use be excellent . I use this projector with my Macbook at we family reunion to show heritage dvd I make . we also play movie to keep the youngster occupy . it work great . good picture . the sound we use be a amp my husband use for he music gig , attach to the laptop . very satisfy with the product . +723 Projector NEU 3 when I get the product , it be a lot smaller than I think it would be , also didnt come with any information about battery -- as on the actual box it come in say to look at the manual inside the box - but there be nothing in there ! otherwise , it work well , I little choppy with the `` wave '' , and make little noise . overall , its a cool purchase -- maybe not for $ 30 though . +828 Projector POS 4 I would read one other review suggest that the projector will be find to be less than desirable after 10 month of usage so I want to add my own review . I have be use my pj550 for four year now and have not have a bit of trouble with it . it work well and provide great color and although as one review suggest it could stand to be a bit better on the output level it still work fine for I in a large training room . +391 Projector POS 5 I project from my computer through hdmus onto a big white peice of fabric I buy at the fabric store for $ 18 . I have it in a spare room set up at about 100 '' and it look spectacular . it be not hd quality , but it be a $ 200 projector , the bulb alone for most other projector be more than that . everyone be very impressed with the projector , it put out nice color and have decent contrast . I have be watch star war and it make my girlfriend get sea-sick every time there be a fly scene . it really be that good . the selling point for I on this projector be that replacement bulb be only $ 25 . . that be insanely cheap , I will be buy several bulb so I can use this projector for year to come . I may even buy a few more of the unit for the office , live room ect . . +393 Projector NEU 3 I be install a projector in a theater room with a drop ceiling so I could not use the standard mount , I need something that would extend down from the joist above . mount to the joist present no real problem . however , the length of the extension pole be very problematic for the height at which I need the projector . the increment of adjustment be not fine enough and it would not seem difficult to engineer a mechansim that be infinitely variable . attach the projector be a bit clumsy as well . I find the extension arm too bulky to easily move they where I need . the pitch and roll adjustment work well but unlike what be advertise or show in the installation illustration , there be no horizontal shift adjustment on the mount I receive . thankfully I have it very well center . finally , the cable management system be sub-par . with all the bolt run through the extension pole there be precious little room for the power cord and a heavy duty hdmus cable . it do come with ton of different screw , bolt etc. . . to fit just about any projector . I get it to work but with more difficulty than should have be necessary . I would search for something better next time . PS : when I call the tech support line I be able to get someone on the phone but they seem know less than I do and I be new at this . +640 Projector POS 4 I have be use a front projection setup for several year now , start with a serendipitous purchase of a NEC lt150 that be a `` price mistake '' find . after get it and figure out how to mount it , put up a screen and run cable in the ceiling with a friend 's help , I have be hook on the true theater type experience that a projector provide . it be a dim , loud , business class projector but still a thrill to have a 100 '' picture . I upgrade over the year to a brighter NEC business projector , then finally enter real home theater projector land with a 1080p optoma hd80 . at the time , the hd80 be one of the best bang for the buck projector ever make , and I enjoy the heck out of it . one of the thing that bug I with the NEC business projector be the dreaded dlp `` rainbow effect '' , and with the hd80 that be minimize enough that it never really bother I . I be fairly sensitive to it , apparently , and could force myself to see it on the hd80 but only by unnatural thing like shake my head . unfortunately after 2 1\/2 year the hd80 die , and I decide to look around for new model since 1080p have become the standard , and less of a premium feature . the Benq W6000 be high on my radar because it be one of the very few moderate price dlp model that include lens shift . its brightness be another attribute I like since I have a `` living room ht '' without full light control , and the extra brightness be great for those afternoon football game . I end up buy a Epson 8100 lcd unit locally , and the w6000 here , and compare they -lrb- eventually add a Sony SXRD model to the mix to hit all 3 major projector technology -rrb- . the Benq live up to its billing , produce a very bright , dynamic picture . after some tweak to the initial base setting , I be pretty happy with the overall picture , color , black level etc. . as another reviewer note , Dynamic Black seem to cause a little too much iris noise so I also turn it off , and do not notice much difference in the overall picture . but one problem come back ... rainbow . the color wheel be actually only a 4x speed , as oppose to the 6x speed that the hd80 use . in addition , extra brightness seem to make ANYTHING more noticeable , rainbow include . after a couple of week , I just could not live with it and end up return it . if you be not sensitive to this artifact , the w6000 be a fantastic projector . I really , really want it to work for I but end up pay more for the SXRD unit -lrb- Sony vpl-hw15 -rrb- . -lrb- I be not overly impressed with the Epson 8100 , though it be a lower price model so not a really fair comparison - I wish I would be able to find a 8500 to try instead . -rrb- +709 Projector POS 4 use this projector for about a week now and so far so good . I do quite a bit of research on hd projector and find that this be the best one for the price . color be deep and good . image be good even in a reasonably light room . I will share more great purchase overall . +428 Projector POS 5 I be use this mount with a optoma hd20 and it have do a great job . it will take you a few minute to sort out what need to be do with the piece in the box , but it be not hard and very flexible ... look like it would fit just about any conceivable projector . the material be pretty high quality . be aware that the minimum height from ceiling to where it grab you projector be about 15 '' -lrb- not 12 '' as some have say -rrb- . I need it to be about 12 '' for my application , which be in-between this mount and most of the other that I find . a friend point out that it be just two aluminum piece that slide and it could easily be cut down with a hack see without any visible change . so I cut about 6 '' off of the end each of the side to get the correct range and drill a new hole for the length set piece -lrb- this be easier than be sound -rrb- . warning : there be a little tab of punch metal who be job be to keep the two arm from completely separate - if you cut these down you 'll lose that piece and risk the possibility that if you loosen the arm length screw the projector will fall . I suggest that if you do this you set the length and then drill a a additional hole to secure it . -lrb- in practice however you would have to really be not pay attention and have a heavy project for this to happen . -rrb- my only other comment on this be really more related to the Optoma hd20 - for some reason optoma choose to place the three mount screw hole off center on the projector bottom ... so when loose the projector want to hang to one side . I can see no logical reason for this ... just dumb . not hard to overcome , but annoy . again , nothing to do with the mount , just the projector . +27 Projector POS 5 Box arrive on good condition , the proyector itself be out of this world , it get a lil hot but I think be normal , very happy WIHT AMAZON.COM +125 Projector POS 5 I love this projector . I actually upgrade from the Panasonic pt-ae3000u -lrb- also great -rrb- . I have notice that this projector be brighter , have a clearer picture , better color , and better contrast and black level than the pt-ae3000u . it really shine with blu-ray , but all source look good . not much else to say , but for the money , you can not beat it . +865 Projector POS 5 I will try to be quick . I be happy with my choice . I will do it again . and do it again I will still be 100 % happy . the only downside I have be that I need to wear sunglass to watch movie ; -rrb- man the brightness be far beyond any imaginable expectation I have . after the first 5 min , when I setup the color adjustment right , the color be very good too . just to let you know , only after 20 min of the first movie I see with it , I simply realize I have the light on in my living room ... . . the Projector be very quiet -lrb- I have ecomode on , lower brightness , etc. ... and now I can see the movie without sunglass ^ _ ^ -rrb- for the price , I must say , I can not imagine anything better , really ... . !! a very very happy customer P.S. 1080p really deserve a 3 meter wide screen to enjoy it ; -rrb- +127 Projector POS 5 this be a total awesome projector ! I believe it be one of the better one for it be price & the picture be totally awesome for the size it can project . definately get what you pay for , so do not be fool into buy less expensive projector that will disappoint , when this will satisfy you home Theater craving . sure if you can afford higher Lumens , contrast , & \/ or resolution . this be a great starter projector until the more expensive price start drop more & all plazma & other become more affordable . +633 Projector POS 4 I really enjoy use this projector . it be fairly easy to set up . the include instruction be not great but enough to understand how to connect , project and transfer file easily between my netbook and projector . the include cable be all I need for how I use it . the control be small so I would recommend get the remote control . I buy a optional Targus tripod which work well with it . the software work as advertise to transfer and convert image file and various other from you pc to projector . there be also a micro sd card slot to save you file to . the image quality be fairly good not great but certainly good enough to watch video , slide show and Powerpoint Presentations . use the ac cable , which be generally how I use it , provide 50 lumen of brightness . overall I be satisfied with this product . +427 Projector POS 5 hack it to run on nvidium 3d vison work great so it run at 720p 120hz edid_override if you need a it its -lrb- ... -rrb- +788 Projector NEU 3 this projector mount be a good buy if you install you projector and then never touch it again . I mean , do not put the lens cap on , do not push the power button , do not touch any of the cable , do not wipe dust off it , etc. . if you leave it completely isolate , this mount be a good buy . make small adjustment to the mount in a effort to precisely place the projection on a screen be challenge with this mount . the problem arise with the ball mount . there be no way to make precise , small adjustment with the ball mount because it be simply tighten in a compression ring . it will take you quite a bit of trial and error to get you picture precisely on you screen . once you have the image precisely on the screen , be careful not to touch you projector in any way . the mount be not stiff enough to absorb a touch to the projector , and you will end up skewing you image . now that I have it , I may keep it because it do the job and it be really cheap . but , I think I should have spend another $ 50 and purchase a more precise mount . +708 Projector POS 4 it be really helpful and very simple to use , although you should use in a not much light room since it be a PICO and not a professional one , but work really well . it get more than warm and try not to use it for long period -lrb- I have never do -rrb- it seem will get melt but nothing have happen so far . useful and inexpensive . buy also the tripod would be really useful too . . +775 Projector POS 5 my qualifying statement ; I have be a home Theater enthusiast since 2005 . be on a budget I do a thorough back ground check & research with a established budget of $ 1500 for my first home Theater I begin in 2005 with a InFocus 805 -lrb- resolution 800x600 -rrb- for $ 800 and use my stereo for audio amp for cable and xbox input -lrb- 80 '' screen -rrb- nice . but in 2007 I decide to upgrade to hd -lrb- affordable be the Mitsubishi hd1500 -lrb- 720p resolution -rrb- -rrb- -lrb- $ 800 -rrb- and add hd Sony 5.1 surround Sound & Blu-ray -lrb- PS3 -rrb- -lrb- 100 '' screen -rrb- very good but now its finally to again upgrade in 2010 to FULL HD 1080p economically !! so for under $ 1000 my final pick be the OPTOMA hd180 !!! this be the best in its class and be totally unbelievable to watch use hd Cable , PS3 Blu-ray movie -lrb- see avatar and White Christmas pure eye candy -rrb- with this projector . so fantastic you see the true beauty and clarity of color and detail . read newspaper and find detail of scene so captivating and wonderfully delicious . you be part of the movie experience !!! note : ONLY the IMAX experience equal this visual wonderment now in your OWN HOME . I must say with blu-ray , hd Cable , gaming and sport wow !! the OPTOMA HD 180 be the one !!!!!!!!! attention : remember this be HD HOME THEATER environment the bigger the picture -lrb- up to 300 '' -rrb- require a darker room . -lrb- my hd paint wall screen be 10 foot -rrb- . after all this be a HOME theater . now you Theater experience be better than the commercial experience , believe I . pro : Easy hook-up , 2 hdmus input -lrb- note ; there be no audio input\/output connector socket this be a projector only !!!!! -rrb- , 1 VGA for computer , 1 component for cable , component video . 4000 hour of lamp life in standard mode & 3000 in Bright . -lrb- note : keep you projector clear of obstuction for good air flow . -lrb- my experience you can get over 5000 hour of lamp life keep you unit in a clean and clear location . the longer the lamp life +4000 hour you can expect the lamp brightness to diminish . -rrb- quiet unit and provide all video input !!! use wall\/wall mount retractable screen require no space loss for a multi purpose room . pure eye candy say it all !!!!!!!! con : not 3d ready . personally wear glass , buy a 3d blu-ray player and 3d hd tv be not worth what be already available now !!!!!!! maybe in 3 year when it have be simplify I 'll re-visit this over-hyped gimmick . the picture be so clear , bright and the color be fantastic !!! a must have Projector !! this be the one !! OPTOMA have do they homework and you will not be dissapoint . this complete my HD Home Theater Blu-ray \/ Cable \/ Video Game need !! enjoy . +655 Projector POS 5 excellent , fantastic good product , very cheap price compare to other be the best very easy to change the bulb when the bulb problem with +559 Projector POS 4 great product , it be just what I expect . will be able to show my presentation to a wider audience professionally ... Love it !!! +129 Projector POS 5 the Yamaha ysp-4100bl be everything that it be review claim it be . far superior to the other less expensive competitive sound bar model in construction and performance . in this case , `` you get what you pay for ! '' . +209 Projector POS 5 there be nothing I can say about this projector that hasnt be say about it before . the image be high definition , clear and crisp . a lot of picture setting make it easy to get a great image . its fan hardly make noise -lrb- actually my ps3 be noisier than this projector -rrb- and easy to hook up . the source finder be a little annoying at time but nothing to complain about . the bright setting be not need and the brightness of standard be great for daytime viewing but this projector shine at night -lrb- follow calibration setting that can be find on internet -rrb- . now for some great news ... . optoma just announce a 3d converter that fit the blu ray spec and so in a couple of month I will be watch 3d movie and play 3d game on a 110 '' screen . $ 399 for converter and $ 639 for projector make this the cheapest , largest home 3d solution to date . I love this projector and so glad that i choose this over the hd20 where i would have to be in complete darkness all the time to appreciate the image which be a turn off towards projector in the first place . if you be read this buy it , if you dont like it -lrb- i think i find 4 people out of hundred who didnt like it -rrb- then return it , amazon make it real easy !!!!!! Update ... . . ive have this for a year now and still impress by the image on this projector . I buy the vip3d-gamer to play 3d ps3 game and the effect be amazing . cod black op , motorstorm apoc , mortal combat have never look so good in 3d and the depth add to gameplay . batman-arkham city will be in 3d so i cant wait !!!!! still a awesome projector and still do not regret this purchase . I be now ready for the hd33 !!!! +18 Projector POS 5 for $ 500 , you can get a 7 foot wide high quality image onto a DIY blackout screen . you must darken the room , use the component connection and rout the audio to a separate receiver or stereo . it do take some savvy to get thing right . you should also mount this to the ceiling . that cut down on noticeability of the fan noise and mean you can sit right underneath it , which be the best seat in the house . so , you need a 25 ft cable , and a ceiling mount -lrb- $ 150 ? -rrb- . although you can make that yourself . do I say wow , yet ? the sharpness be very good , although you will see screen door if you sit too close and\/or the image be too big . but I do not see screen door with the image 6 foot wide , with I 10 foot back . and you should not be closer than that anyway . you might be bother by the rainbow effect , with b&w; movie , sometimes . otoh , I notice it as soon as I get it , but it be never bother I . you should not be flicker you eye back and forth fast when watch a movie anyway . the best thing be the color and black . the image have a soft quality that be great for movie , less good for sport . the difference between my home theater and the multiplex be that the Plex have a even bigger screen and the color on it be a bit more saturated . but these front projector offer the same type of experience as the real movie . do not bother connect a ground cable signal to the projector via a VCR , the image be not good enough for the projector quality . component connection be far better than composite . I have have it for a year with no problem so far . +639 Projector POS 5 well this be my first projector and I get to say that its pretty good , even during the day you can still see the picture if its like a 30 inch size screen . I have not use it unplugged because to I it be like a tv , it need to be plug in , I would not expect the battery life to last long so I do not even bother . I get the control for it which be a must unless you want to keep press button on the projector which end up move the picture . it have its own little built-in speaker which be actually pretty decent sound but its not loud enough for I so I just plug some computer speaker in the audio jack and boom , problem solve . if you have a xbox or ps3 get the hdmus to mini hdmus cable , there like $ 8 and it put the picture to 720p which be not bad for a projector if you ask I . another cool thing be you can flip the image sideways or upside down if for some reason you have to . overall its awesome , especially if you on the go or in the military like I be , you just can not carry around a tv everywhere you go but a projector you can , especially this tiny little thing . +486 Projector NEG 2 the ad say high quality but I be not impress with what I receive . I do not install the lamp and return it because of two reason . First of all the tape-like seal on the plastic cover to metal casing that say `` no warranty if seal break '' be indeed break . secondly , the unit be not enclose at the front of the lamp which would mean if the lamp go out and explode like they do , the shattered glass would be scatter inside of the tv . this lamp , unlike the picture , have a square glass cover in a round hole . this be not my definition of `` high quality '' so I return the lamp . I do receive a full refund with no problem , however I do have to pay for return shipping . +774 Projector POS 5 this be the 3rd video projector I have own . the 1st be a Dell VGA . need to upgrade to hd so get a optoma 720p . after 5 year it die so I need another . the natural progression be to go to 1080p , but then I find this gem . it be 720p , but when I compare it side-by-side with a 1080p projector , the difference in image quality be subtle , and the 1080p projector cost twice as much as this -lrb- and that be a bargain for 1080p -rrb- . besides price , here be the other advantage of this projector : 1 . 3d . combine this with a 3d blu-ray player -lrb- my Panasonic be very well price -rrb- , View Sonic 3D HD Video Processor -lrb- vp3d1 -rrb- and some dlp 3d glass , and you have get sweet 3d movie without any special setup . 2 . size\/weight . this be mean to be portable . I do not intend to move mine , but for some people that might come in handy . it probably weigh half as much as my old optoma and the 1080p projector I compare it to , and be probably half the size as well . make it much easier to mount on the ceiling -lrb- easily do with no 2nd person help to steady it -rrb- . 3 . Color . most people mount they projector on a wall or ceiling . most people do not have black wall or ceiling , so black or similarly dark projector be kind of a eyesore . combine with its small size , the white color help conceal it so that it do not dominate a room . some other thing I like : 1 . come with a nice black nylon canvas carry case -lrb- again , very portable -rrb- . 2 . the small remote slide into the projector , make it easy to keep the 2 together if you be carry it somewhere . you do need to make sure you do not lose it , or program a universal remote to control the projector , because there be not any button on the projector -lrb- since the remote become part of the projector when you slide into place -rrb- . 3 . quite bright . I would think that the smaller package would mean less light output , but no. . brighter than my old optoma that be twice the size , and just as bright as the much pricier 1080p projector I compare it to . 4 . Automatic keystoning be impressive . you can set it at just about any angle and it will keep the picture a perfect rectangle . it be throw distance be a bit longer than the optoma I have , but not bad at all . check this website to find out precisely how big the image be for a give distance : -lrb- ... -rrb- I be a loyal Amazon Prime member , but since this be not eligible for Amazon Prime , you can get this from Walmart.com for the same low price , ship cost be very low -lrb- free to you local store -rrb- , and you have 3 month to return it if you do not like it . awesome projector . +366 Projector POS 4 projector be awesome !!! picture appear great but it need to be in a dark area to work well . overall it be great . +648 Projector NEU 3 this projector be great for portability . it be small -- surprisingly small ! if you need something small , portable , and with a decent resolution picture , this be a projector to get . however , you need to know the pro and con with this one if you be look for the all purpose projector . pro : - decent resolution , even with the odd 858x600 . - small . I mean this thing be tiny ! - handle video well . - great menu option . Acer do a great job with they uus . - bulb will hypothetically last for 30,000 hour . now that be awesome . con : - it be not very bright , even only 9-feet from my wall . do not let the 200 lumen fool you . even in a dark room it be not sufficiently bright . for I this be a deal breaker . - fan can be a bit noisy , but not nosier than a laptop fan on high . this do not bother we in the least . but if you be sensitive to fan noise , then you may not like this projector . - resolution be not my favorite . even though I know this go in , after see the actual picture I be not impressed . overall : although this projector be not a bad buy , especially for its great portability , if you be look for a bright picture that do not need to be project in a very dark room and can even be enjoy in dim light or with ambient sunlight , I would look elsewhere . this projector need a very dark room to be remotely enjoyable . and any light will begin to wash out the picture , and I mean any ! after purchase this projector , and after try the Optomo pt105 -lrb- which I very much do not recommend -rrb- , I purchase the Acer x1261p . so far this projector meet all my need : sharp picture -lrb- 1024x768 resolution -rrb- , bright image -lrb- 2700 lumen -rrb- , portability -lrb- even come with a carry case -rrb- , can project a image at 120hz , and be only $ 50 more than this projector . the two caveat to the x1261p be that the bulb will only last around 6,000 hour on eco mode -lrb- which be good overall for a standard bulb projector but not compare to the k11 's 30,000 hour -rrb- and it do not have a hdmus input -lrb- although I buy a inexpensive hdmus to VGA converter here on Amazon to address this issue -rrb- . so for I , this be a better alternative to the k11 . nevertheless , if my con be not a issue , then you maybe happy with the k11 . +883 Projector NEG 1 I have do the research about the projector and come up with conclusion to purchase the Viewsonic pjd5122 . the power do not work properly . the light of power button be turn on but the fan do not work and there be no light out of the lense . the speaker also do not work also . the projector keep search for the signal `` signal loss '' all the time . I be so frustrated and call the technical support I be lucky to talk to a tech guy who be physically in India . I still have the problem to communicate with the guy . anyway , I be lucky to return this item back to Circuit city . +345 Projector NEU 3 assembly instruction be not quite clear , and some piece be very difficult to put together , especially after thread the cable through the shaft high up by the ceiling . also , my hdmus cable be heavily shield , and do not thread easily through the shaft . get my rg6 and power cord through be also tough . I be happy with it now that it be up , but it would be better if the finish product be more rigid . another complaint be that they provide 4 and 5mm bolt to attach the mount , but mine need 6mm , so off to Home Depot . off again to Home Depot for a second trip , as the lag screw they provide to thread into the ceiling joist be make of metal so soft a phillip head screwdriver will strip they . I get they most of the way in before they strip , then have to use a pair of vice-grip to take they out . I get some stainless steel one and install they with a socket wrench . overall a decent product for the price , but they should not provide screw as soft as ju-ju-bee . +439 Projector POS 5 I have be very pleased with the performance of this projector . it be very easy to set up and have a variety connection that you can use . I have use it both with my computer and my television to watch movie on the wall . the whole family love this thing ! +16 Projector POS 4 this be a small but powerful hand-size projector . I use it for my english class in the ecuadorian campo . the focus be very precise but easily disturbed . I would like to have it set up so that the image can be either vertical or horizontal . the power cord be the same as on my HP laptop -lrb- except the device end -rrb- and be heavy enough to drag the projector off the table and on to the floor . lead bulb replacement ? UNKNOWN . despite my apparent negative comment , I really like this little gem and would recommend it to anyone who can accept its limitation . oh , and the price-is-right . +917 Projector NEG 1 the project image be very bad . it be blurry even after focus & the color be fade . it would not pick up a signal with the hdmus connection . I be hope to return but the seller have a long list of non returnable item , include tv . it be bright enough but what a awful image . the only way to adjust the projection size be to move the projector . for the price I know it would not be perfect but it would not be worth watch if it be free . +408 Projector POS 5 this product be great , extremely well make , durable , rugged , attractive . full movement and rotation in every direction , with a removable extension arm so you can keep it closer to the ceiling or take it out in any angle and direction need . the product fit any 3 hold projector easily with every type of screw available , and adjustable once secure to fine tune the picture placement . the only thing to know be that this be very heavy metal , so be prepare to anchor it well to the ceiling\/wall . you can not go wrong with this product , I be very happy . +75 Projector POS 5 after purchase the nVidia 3d vision with the Acer 24 '' gd235hz monitor , I be ready for even bigger wall-to-wall gaming + movie watching . in short , really look for the entire movie theater experience at home . at around $ 16 for 3d ticket -lrb- $ 12 for regular -rrb- x 4 people + soda\/popcorn = ~ $ 85\/movie , I want something `` local '' . at $ 500 -lrb- i.e. cost of about 6 movie theater sitting -rrb- , this fit the bill nicely and be great bang for the buck . my wife be yell that I be waste money on this . so , I set this up and call she to check it out . it fit the wall nicely and projection size be approx . 110 '' . the wall be light yellow but this projector have a set to color correct it . the first word out of she mouth be `` wow ! that look awesome ! I be gonna watch movie and enjoy with the winter now watch movie with kid '' . so it be a great purchase after all . highlight of the product - + excellent value for the money + eco mode to add more life to the bulb + image quality be very good at 720p + it can do 1080 -lrb- 1920x1080 -rrb- though I be not sure if it be interlaced or progressive but this do not look as sharp or nice as the 720p for movie . + Netflix HD look incredible . + regular movie look spectacular . I watch Captain America and it be awesome . I be pick up little detail which I be not before + 3d gaming be phenomenal . there be some few game that have good depth projection so the char appear to hover in you room . but most game give this immense depth perception so you wall look like a huge opening with char position correctly wrt to depth . 3d gaming with nvidium 3d vision make this spectacular . + come with a carry bag and VGA cable + great price point for someone want to enter this market but not want to spend much . + have a remote that can glove into the unit - miss a VGA - -rrb- DVI adapter . thankfully I have one from my video card purchase - dlp technology with 3x spin wheel so you can see rainbow effect every now and then . year ago I have return my Samsung DLP set because it be too bothersome . thankfully , this be not that bothersome . you see it more during brighter\/white scene and that too if you dart you eye side to side . its almost unnoticeable in 3d and while gaming . more noticeable during 2d movie . - do not have even a single 3d glass . - do not work with passive 3d glass . only active nvidium 3d glass . - all control seem to be only on the remote , so do not lose it . +25 Projector POS 5 I originally consider the InFocus x1 , since it be highly rate and probably ` the ' most recommend projector in this price range . however , I be sensitive to the ` rainbow ' effect ' that DLP projector be prone to , so I have to turn to lcd . the NEC vt46 have some favorable review out there , and it have a shorter throw than the x1 , so I decide to pick one up . wow ! the picture be much better than I expect ! despite be a 4:3 projector , it produce a amazing picture with widescreen dvd . the color look very natural and the contrast be excellent . the short throw lens and manual zoom allow I to create a huge image from the coffee table , and it be also very quiet so it do not intrude on quiet scene . I do not hesitate to recommend this projector ; it have exceed my expectation . +192 Projector POS 4 very good Projector . have it for a month now and very happy with it . have a little problem in the begin to set it up with nvida 3d vision on my pc -lrb- mostly because of my lack of experience in the area -rrb- but manage to do it after 4 day . only down side be the beep noise when turn on and of and the fact that the on screen menu have no option to be more transparent . January 02 2012 : have it for almost a year now and still work fine +725 Projector POS 5 this be a great little projector . I use it at home and at my office . the trade-off be size and pixel vs brightness and noise . it be very small and have a descent resolution . to pay for this , you have to sacrifice a bit of brightness and a little fan noise . there be no battery so it always need to be plug in . if you need fall within that realm -- go for it . I really like that I can just leave it on much like I leave on my monitor to display image because of the 30000 hour bulb . one glitch be that the focus change after warm up but then it be good . +969 Projector POS 5 I be go to rent a projector for 4 or 5 day at Christmas , then I come across this projector which cost almost exactly the same amount as the rental . this thing be great . its small . it have all kind of connectivity choice . it be bright -lrb- which be important for I because the room I use it in be large and have a lot of window -rrb- . it even have build in speaker -lrb- I do not actually use they -rrb- . the replacement bulb be reasonably price . it be extremely easy to use . do not bother with the manual - just hook it up . I have both a s-video and hdmus connection at the same time , although I would only power up 1 device at a time : this thing detect that and automatically switch to the live connection . I be now project it on a 110 '' screen and it look excellent with 720p content or higher , which it will down-convert to 720p which be its native resolution . the only negative be that the remote have a narrow line-of-sight , the zoom range be very small and there be no lens-shift : none of these be problem for I and I would not expect the last two in a projector that be so inexpensive . if you want a nice projector for a unbelievably low price , this be it . +293 Projector NEU 3 I have only fire this up once and we be still put it through it be pace . I will update . Notes so far : \* nice and bright \* Easy to set up with a laptop \* show photo off a usb stick with ease one gripe so far : the description clearly state it come with a `` computer adapter '' and `` Component adapter '' but the only cable it arrive with be a 3 '' -lrb- male -rrb- VGA to -lrb- female -rrb- 3-rca connector . the back of the projector require 3 male rca connector . thus the cable they send you , while technically a `` component adapter '' CAN NOT be use to hook a computer up to the projector without buy a male-to-male rca cable connector . there be no other adapter so the `` computer adapter '' advertise at the time of this order and writeup do not exist . in short : out of the box you can not connect it to anything without more cable , the computer adapter list in the description be just plain false . now , I have a house full of cable so this be just annoy on principle , but it be worth other know . +222 Projector POS 4 this projector be great ! it be a amzing value for the price that I pay for it . the only setback be that the volume be not incredibly high and sometimes you miss a word or two . otherwise , I be extremely happy to have buy this projector and it be a amazing value for the price ! very happy ! +407 Projector POS 4 pro : for a projector in this price range , picture be extremely bright and very sharp . Color fidelity be good -lrb- with adjustment ; out of the box , hue and saturation be odd -rrb- . noise level be excellent ; fan be very quiet . Menus and control be very good . customization option be thorough and easy to navigate . user manual be somewhat better than average . Meh : Audio throughput via HDMI be middling at best . startup time and source seeking be slightly below average . con : remote control be horrible . layout be non-intuitive and label be barely legible , especially in a low-light situation where this projector be likely to be use . Summary : at this price point , I be happy , and I feel I get my money 's worth . if I ever win the lottery , I will not be keep this machine , but for now , it get a solid b grade . +626 Projector POS 5 it be much more powerful than I expect . I like the size . it be too bad HP discontinue this model . +484 Projector POS 5 I buy a pc last year with the nVidia 3d system , it come with a Samsung 22 '' monitor and it look utterly fantastic . I instantly think `` I need a bigger display '' so I go to nVidia 's page to view compatible display . the Optoma hd66 be and still be list as be compatible an support . so I buy one ... well guess what ? it be neither compatible or currently support . if you search the nvidium page you will find that if you hd66 be build before August of 2010 -lrb- that be right , August of 2010 ! -rrb- it will not work . I then call Optoma tech support and be tell by the phone tech that in order for it to work , it have to be send back to the factory for modification and that I would be responsible for the shipping ... I tell the guy that that be outrageous and I would simply return it and get something that actually do work as advertise . in case you wonder , I purchase the Acer h5360 . . I should have purchase it the first time around , not only do the 3d work flawlessly , it have way more feature than the hd66 like `` auto keystone , auto orientation , color wall compensation '' to name a few . if you look for a 3d projector that really deliver , you can wait two month -lrb- the tech support guy tell I it would take that long to get the new one on the shelf -rrb- till the compatible hd66 's hit the street -lrb- and hope they work -rrb- or you can get the Acer h5360 . of course deal with Amazon be the only way to go , the return of the hd66 be simple and I be enjoy real 3d in my living room on the Acer . +521 Projector POS 5 for the money , you will not find a better mount for you projector . you will need to have some common sense when assemble you mount and attach it to you ceiling . there be no instruction . there be only a explosion view of the product and one bag full of washer , bolt , and the such . sequence be key to a safe installation . once you get it dial in , it be solid . very happy with this purchase . do not let negative review keep you away . if you like a little challenge in you assembly and have a brain in you head , you will have no problem . +686 Projector NEG 1 ever since we get this projector out of the box we have have nothing but trouble . just get it to power on take about 10 minute of button push and connect and reconnect before we can coax it to power up . and sometimes it receive the hdmus signal and sometimes it do not . Technical support from Optoma be just about be poor as tech support can be , with nothing better than a web form to fill out , and a promise they will get back to I in 24-48 hour , by e-mail ! then once they get back to you , you be catch in a very slow e-mail correspondence , and then you give up . +233 Projector NEG 1 I receive a lightbulb that last about 2 week . I pay to send the light bulb back . the second light bulb I have receive in the mail be break . I have to pay to send this 1 back as well . the third bulb that they send I work for a bout 20 seconds before it melt my projector . I have lose the cost of shipping and the cost of my projector which have to be replace . three bulb b , a ruin projector and shipping cost . this company be expensive to do . business with . and of course they be not responsiblefor the damage thier product cause . +394 Projector POS 5 I defy anyone to find a projector with resolution this good for the price . the spec on this rival many 2000-3000 dollar projector . the better model may have brighter bulb and better black -- but the difference in performance be negligible -- the difference in prince be not . I already own one and I be buy a second one for my sister . happy holiday si ! +638 Projector NEG 1 this have be go around since this projector first come out . the dt-510 require the an-xr10l2 lamp . seller lamp be rate 275 watt where the dt-510 's lamp be 220 watt . half the dealer on the net have this screw up . Dont believe I , just check the manual +11 Projector POS 4 everyone review this product and rate it as if it be a $ 900.00 dlp hd projector . well quite simply it be not . this be a low price budget projector perfect for outdoor movie viewing and with a simple $ 20.00 converter box its good for presentation too . I have use it numerous time in my backyard to watch tv show and movie and everyone be pleased . no its not crystal clear but with some adjustment it be enjoyable and easy to view . the setup be quick and easy and with the use of a old projector screen brightness and color be not too bad . I be enjoy this product greatly consider I only pain $ 85.00 for the converter , projector and screen . I would recommend this to anyone look for a cheap projector for light use keep in mind it be cheap and the quality be not perfect . +296 Projector POS 5 maybe its a newer version , but my mount include clear instruction on how to use . it work perfectly for my optoma hd66 which have the same size hookup as the hd20\/65\/180 . I would definitely recommend . +544 Projector NEG 1 this `` universal '' mount come with 4 different size screw for different model of projector ... but none of they fit mine . after 3 trip to home depot to find a long enough screw that would fit -lrb- do not happen -rrb- i have to scrap this thing and discontinue my projector project until i could get a different -lrb- properly `` universal '' -rrb- mount - which i do . i be so ridiculously frustrate with this thing and so save yourself the frustration and buy something else . +249 Projector NEU 3 the first time I purchase this projector the sound do not work . -lrb- volume would not go up or down , just stay at a low level -rrb- . the company resent I a new projector -lrb- take about a month , not the best or easiest customer service -rrb- and the new one work great , at least so I think . a few month later I realize the hdmus input do not work at all . this do not really bother I because I be only hook it up to a dvd player . the next issue be the dc power input start get shaky . I continuously have to `` rig '' or tape the cord into place for it to stay on every time I use it . the picture quality and projection size be good . if you manage to get one deliver to you that work , it be a great deal and great projector . the low price off brand will give you the possibility of headache and trouble but as consumer , that should be expect . just recently my projector be steal at a party . and I be actually consider buy this one again - hope for a good one to be send to I . I guess I have mix feeling about it . +485 Projector POS 5 I use the Atdec Telehook Universal Projector flush Mount to mount my Optoma hd70 . I do have to buy toggle tolt to secure the mount where it need to be , but I know that before I buy it . the whole mount take I a couple of hour to mount . most of that time be due to have to find the exact location it need to be mount for my projector to work in the view room . +746 Projector POS 5 the new pp03 portable pocket projector be awesome ! who would have think look at the picture and the price that it would be of great quality from the material make from as well as the projection quality - take it every where I go ! +581 Projector POS 4 I buy this Pyle Home PRJLE33 Portable LED Projector for sport season mostly . it work best at night and with enough room to make it at least 60 inch wide . but still show good picture during daylight hour . it have all the right stuff to hook it up to nearly anything you would want to project . bright color and great contrast with these build in speaker that sound excellent and make it the perfect game day everyday . I recommend this unit to anyone who think it be important to see the expression on they favorite player face . the lens be super easy to adjust to any flat situation and have a remote control to do the job from anywhere in the room . best buy of the year by far for I . +823 Projector POS 5 I do a lot of research and it boil down to the pb6100\/6110 or the InFocus x1\/x1a . I purchase the pb6100 and have be plesantly surprise after a month of use . in presentation mode , the picture at 7 foot wide be sharp and impressive -lrb- make sure you select the correct user mode -rrb- . for movie , the picture quality be truly stunning -lrb- must choose cinema mode -rrb- at 7 foot wide !! it appear that the quality of dvd player be rather important as a budget dvd player produce a wash out screen while a good progressive scan player produce rich and vibrant color with no distortion . shockingly good , even with some ambient light . it be a huge payoff for a very modest investment . very enthusiastically recommend . +910 Projector NEG 1 I have have about 10 different projector in my home so in many way I know what to look for and how they compare against each other . this model have very poor OTB color calibration and even once calibrate with some basic tool it still do not look as good as my hc4000 with the factory setting . the smell of burn plastic all the time for the first 100 hour be finally too much and I finally send it back for a full refund . be it bright ? yes . be the contrast good ? yes . do it blow off heat big time and make noise ? yes . be it a pain to calibrate ? yes . in the end be it all worth it ? nope . the picture on my w1200 be far superior to the w6000 and it can be have for $ 899 these day online . maybe this pj be great in 2009 but there be several better choice out today . Thought I would love this thing but I be sorely disappoint . +773 Projector POS 5 i have always want a electric screen but cost have always be a factor . when i see the price of the favus hd 120 and comment from other buyer , i deceided to give it a try . the package arrive when it be suppose to and no damage to the box . the packaging be very good , to make sure contents arrive in good condition . the screen be up and run and the picture quality be excellent and operation be smooth and quiet . you do need two people to mount this screen . i didnt receive any actual mount instruction but be easy to figure out . i be able to find two stud to mount the screen to which give I a great deal of peace of mind . the hardware incl . doesnt seem in my opinion strong enough to hold the screen up . if you dont have stud to mount to larger wall anchor would be recommend . good buy , good price , excellent quality i highly recommend this product . +594 Projector POS 5 I do my homework for month , look for a projector that I could use for my power point presentation at work so I would not have to keep borrowing from we it department . I do not want to have to spend $ $ 1,000 s on one either . some of the really good one can be quite costly . at the same time , I do not want one that could not provide a adequate , sharp picture . I also want it for home use to show movie at home or do movie-maker picture presentation for family gathering . not only be this projector price reasonably -lrb- I buy mine refurbish for under $ 300 ! -rrb- but it be so simple to operate and the picture be just great !!! I set it up on a table 6ft away from the wall and get sharp , clear resolution with a screen size of about 5x3 ft. . it be light and compact and I carry it around with ease compare with the cumbersome unit I use to have to check out . I only hope that I get lot of use from it before the lamp wear out . only time will tell . I hear that a lamp be costly to replace and that they only have a certain number of life hour before they burn out . so far , I be very happy with my projector . it have exceed my expectation and I highly recommend it . +431 Projector POS 5 I research many Projector screen and at the end I make a decision to buy this one and I think i make the right decision , the screen have 1:3 gain and very easy to install . have 2 remote and wall hanging unit to control the rotation . noise level be low . little slow in move the screen but i like that . very good choice for the price we be buy and better result then elite or da-lite screen . +108 Projector NEG 2 low-budget home theater owner here . be happy with my unit . Pretty nice picture on a blank white wall . I have a dedicated cinema room that be pitch black so be very happy ... until one hour ago . after 300 hour of use my bulb blow . and I never watch more than 2-3 hour at a time , so definitely not a high traffic user . I be all the way in Hungary and that bulb be about a month 's wages for this school teacher . this be a shoddy product , built-in obsolesence to the extreme . now I have a useless room with a BenQ wart on the ceiling ! +239 Projector NEU 3 this be a great little projector and provide a nice picture however I do not think it be worth $ 500 , in my personal experience ive have trouble with the mini hdmus socket and the chord be way too short , I have also have trouble find a female rca composite cable for the projector , it be just too much to ask for . but overall if you be someone who be on the go , and give presentation daily , this would be the projector for you . +120 Projector POS 4 I be look to assemble a hdtv , Blu-Ray player and speaker set that will last I for the next 3 - 5 year . I be initially draw to this speaker base on review , but have one question . it be my impression that the speaker itself be awesome , but that the lack of a hdmus in\/out compromise the potential of the speaker to deliver the best sound from a hd source . in other word , sound come from a Blu-Ray or cable box lose some signal through the digital optical cable , which would otherwise not happen with a hdmus cable . could people please comment\/educate ? be the lack of hdmus input the reason for the drastic price reduction ? I have not have a chance to compare audio come out of optical audio vs hdmus , and so do not have a basis to establish if hold out for HDMI be worth the extra money that that might entail . thank you . +628 Projector POS 5 I recently buy this back-up projector -- be not quite ready to go `` all digital '' but want to be certain I could still use this fantastic tool . have be use this model for many many year and it simply do not disappoint . +95 Projector POS 4 the only thing that I would change about this projector would be : I wish I could make the image smaller . I be project onto the wall above my fireplace , and with the projector situate on a shelf in my den so that people be not trip on it when they sit in the living room , I be afraid the image be just a bit too large , even with the size scale all the way down . fortunately , when I switch the projector to a 16:9 widescreen format , the image cut down just enough to fit on my stretch of wall . even on a simple white-painted wall , the resolution be good enough to watch movie with subtitle easily , and even see normal-sized text if you squint . the only thing the include remote can not do be adjust the size and focus of the projection , and open and shut the slide on the front . otherwise , you never have to touch the projector itself . once I figure out how to make this projector work with the space I have , everything be perfect ! I be loving my new setup . +656 Projector POS 5 I recently buy the hd66 projector and it be very easy to install , if you look for a good hd Projector that do not put a hole in you pocket this be the one to buy . when i receive it in the mail i take it out of the box and hook it up to my PS3 just by the HDMI cable and it work great the Picture Quality be great i be a little scared when i buy it at first cause i think maybe the review be B.S. but im tell you i think it be a great quality for a projector under 700 dollar . my video game and the Blu ray movie look great . the projector be about maybe 12ft away from the wall and without a screen or anything it look great on the wall itself . I also connect it to my direct tv hddvr and it work great the channel come out in hd and everything . I be look foward in buy the extra 3d accessory to see what it look like in 3d but over all this projector be great we watch 2 Blu-Ray movie on my PS3 and we use the wall as a screen and it look great the screen be really big i say about 95 to 100 '' . oh yeah and adjust the screen be very easy for I it take I like 2 minute maybe i just get lucky , dont know . overall if you be read this review trust I it be a great buy for movie and game like i say i have not test the 3d but im hopeing it look as good as everything else ... +612 Projector POS 5 I set this up last night . I make no change to the color . my wife , son and he friend each be blow away by the better picture than we have with we Sony . brightness be a key issue for we as we screen be 215 inch diagonal . +658 Projector POS 5 I get this projector from avsolution . avsolution be quick to ship . when I get the box , I think there might be a pair of 3d glass miss . I request that it be send to I . avsolution respond right away . offer to deal with Sony and to get I a new pair . they also ask I to look one more time in the box , and I actually do find they . but quick response , great service . I have not try the 3d yet , but the 2d projection be awesome . I do not get the screen right away , so I just project a movie right on a green wall at 130inch size , and the picture look ok . yesterday i get the screen up . 133 inch projection -lrb- da-lite Cinema Vision 1.3 gain -rrb- , at about 15 foot distance . what a great picture ! this be in a totally dark room . +834 Projector POS 5 I be very pleased with the performance and quality of this projector so far , and for the price I pay -lrb- $ 799 -rrb- , this be the best projector for the money . pro : very good price , good quality -lrb- up to 1080p -rrb- , 2 hdmi con : none so far . +647 Projector POS 4 Compre uno de estos proyectore , anteriormente tenia otro de tecnoligia lead , pero este era muy pobre en imagen , sin embarco el Rio Led , resulto un proyector muy bueno , de hecho lo he utilizado para karaoke en un bar , con grande resultado , si bien es cierto le falta un poco mas de brillo a la lampara , su imagen es muy buena , incluso en ambiente con algo de luz , definitivamente lo recomiendo . +176 Projector NEG 2 I buy this as a much need tool in my classroom . we raise we own money since we be not give anything -lrb- thanks to the economy -rrb- . anyway , I be a bit disappointed because you have to turn off all the light and close the blind -lrb- which make it impossible for my student to see they papers to follow along . I guess I learn my lesson not to go for the least expensive item as you get what you pay for . +37 Projector POS 5 I purchase the ex7200 for use in child 's church in a fairly small , fluorescent-well-lit classroom . have a high quality lcd projector open up world of possibility for education , and I could not be happier with this projector . it be also night and day go from the small 15 '' wide-screen lcd tv I have at my disposal -lrb- from the church -rrb- to a 86 '' projection screen -lrb- of course , you could go much bigger if you have the room ! -rrb- . there be a multitude of option , include 5 or so `` color mode '' for different viewing situation , include project onto a whiteboard or blackboard ! Controls be fairly intuitive . projector can be shut down and unplug without have to let the fan run to cool down -lrb- though I would recommend let the projector cool in the open for a couple minute at least instead of immediately stuff it in the case -rrb- . the usb plug and play be nice , but be warn . the usb connection be a fail for powerpoint with animation . slide transition and even simple roll text be choppy and jumpy with the usb connection . the VGA cable -lrb- supply -rrb- work perfectly , however , and the projection be just as smooth as it be on you computer screen . this projector also allow you to connect multiple video source simultaneously and switch between they easily . there be also a tiny blue dot visible on dark background -lrb- esp . black -rrb- in the bottom left area of the frame . I be assume this be a minor defect with the imaging system in my particular projector . it be just one dot -lrb- maybe a single pixel -rrb- and not very noticeable . Worth mention , but probably not worth the hassle of return or exchange . do not make the mistake I do and purchase a screen with the wrong aspect ratio . this projector have a native resolution of 1280x800 which be a 16:10 ratio , not 16:9 . not sure how I miscalculate that , especially when it even say 16:10 in the description ! if you use this with a 16:9 screen , you will not be able to make the projector image fill the screen -- it will be `` letterbox '' by white screen material on the left and right . image adjustment with this projector be fully optical -lrb- focus and zoom ring build into the lens -rrb- . use the optical zoom allow you to enlarge or reduce the entire frame to fined-adjust screen fit without have to move the projector itself and without loss of resolution . last , do not think this projector be go to look just fantastic in a well-lit room . do not get I wrong , it be very usable with all the light on , but darker color especially will be wash out and obviously you contrast will not be the best . unfortunately , the room I be in have all the fluorescent light on one switch , so it be either all or nothing in term of room lighting . so I simply make a makeshift cover out of some thick cardboard to partially block the light closest to the projection screen . this make a huge difference . I be just say be prepare to experiment with you setup to get the best balance . +796 Projector POS 5 if you want to mount you new Optoma hd20 , this be a perfect ceiling mount . it be very simple . attach mount plate and adjustable clamp to bottom of projector - Mount the ceiling bracket with 2 include screw -lrb- wood screw and drywall screw include -rrb- , then connect the two and tighten to proper position . I can not believe I consider buy a mount in the store for $ 70 - $ 150 . this mount for $ 19 be perfect . I could not be happier . +478 Projector POS 5 buy this projector a couple of week ago , shipping be prompt . just for reference sake , I use this projector for design on item for airbrushing -lrb- I run a airbrushing studio out of my home -rrb- . the VGA cable connection work extremely well for a computer monitor , but I wind up swap out the VGA for a hdmus as the resolution translation do better on the HDMI for my setup . the projection lighting be bright and be viewable in a partially light room on a smaller screen -lrb- 4:3 -rrb- . the color saturation be excellent , and the picture be decent sharp . if you buy this projector expect hd picture quality you will be sorely dissappointed however . the maximum resolution be 800x600 and it display hd by degrade the picture signal to a format that it can use . however , for the extremely reasonable price , you be not go to find much better . the fan be rather loud , but keep the projector nicely cool -lrb- great for bulb and component duration -rrb- . I have not have need of the audio so I can not vouch for the quality , but I have read review say that it be exceptional in comparison to other projector . Hope this review help . overall this reasonably price projector be a extremely good value . +414 Projector POS 5 we make a outdoor entertainment area at the back end of we property where two very large tree fall and form a natural amphitheater . on a Tori gate between the two tree , I mount a seven foot screen so we could watch movie use a projection system I buy from Amazon and a extra stereo receiver and surround sound system . it be great but the screen be just not big enough for the area so I purchase this ten foot one . WOW , what a difference . we have have four movie night so far and everybody want to come . I want a manual , pull down , screen because I have to take it down and store it after every movie . this one seem to be well make . it pull down and raise very easily . I use a blu-ray player to show the movie and the picture be as least as good as the big screen tv in the house . -lrb- it be about four year old -rrb- Phoenix be warm enough to have movie night all winter long , with a fire pit anyway . spring and fall be absolutely perfect ... during July through September , I be go to have to figure a way to mount it so we can watch movie from the pool . +671 Projector POS 5 this be a excellent clock radio , with many outstanding feature at a very affordable cost . all clock radio do pretty much the same thing , so I 'll focus on the feature that differentiate this unit from other I have own over the year . the `` rediset '' feature automatically set the unit up . when you plug the unit in for the first time , after a few seconds , it set itself to the correct date , day , and time -lrb- though you may have to make a very simple time zone adjustment -rrb- . and that be it ; you never have to reset it , even after a power failure or after you unplug it . the backup battery be a non-replaceable lithium battery that be suppose to last for at least 5 year . all of the alarm setting and adjustment be input by means of a small keypad on top of the unit . everything be easy to see , clearly lable , and intuitive to operate . the dual alarm can be set to play the radio , buzz , or start several `` soothing sound , '' such as ocean wave , wind chime , etc. . it sound trivial , but those sound be much more pleasant than a 6 AM buzzer . the snooze button be very easy to find , even in the dark . it be large , textured , and raise a little above the body of the unit . finally , the instruction booklet be very clearly write ; you do not get the feeling that it be imperfectly translate from the chinese original . the one feature I do not care for be the time projector . this may be useful and even important to some people , but I find open my eye in the middle of the night and see the time in foot-tall number on the ceiling to be somewhat unsettling . however , it be easy to turn the projector off . my bottom line : this be a full-featured clock radio in a attractive , fairly small case at a very good price . I recommend it most highly . +766 Projector POS 5 I be worry about how the picture would look when you blow it up to 110 '' as I do since it be only 720p . but I be pleasantly surprise at how sharp the picture be . it may not look as good as it do on a 22 '' monitor or something but it be more than good enough for I . the picture be plenty bright even with the light on but of course look better with the light off . we generally leave the light on when watch tv but turn they off for movie . we be use a real projector screen and not the wall or a sheet like some . I recommend get a wall mountable one from here . we order a `` Elite Screens '' brand and be really happy with it . with the free shipping it get to we house in under a week and sooner than we expect . no complaint yet . just make sure you understand there be no horizontal keystone . mean you have to mount it with the lens directly in the center of the screen horizontally . the vertical keystone work great . also it sound like a lot of people use the projector speaker as they main source of sound for some reason . this may be ok for school or basic presentation but you go to want to have a stereo to watch tv\/movies or play game . the speaker on the projector be not really mean to be use for entertainment purpose , nor should it be expect to . +990 Projector POS 5 this produce really come in right on time for the church . Easy installation for a first timer . able to swivle and adjus with no problem . the only issue I have be that we have a arched roof , and it be very high . +609 Projector POS 5 a lot of people give this projector horrible review , but you have to keep in mind it do cost less than $ 100 . yes the brightness be lack , but consider I get mine for $ 40 at target I can not compain . it be all about how you use and set it up . we use ours to turn we garage into a kind of a drive-in theater . we `` screen '' be a thick white shower curtain from a dollar store which be tape to the wall with white duct tape . a table be set up 10 ft away with the projector , the Xbox we run through it , and the sound system . the sound the projector produce itself be pretty decent and be still audible over the fairly loud fan . we want more out of it though so I take a $ 60 radio with movable speaker I have lay around , fit it with indoor\/outdoor speaker , and run that through the projector . one of the first major problem we run into with the whole set up be the fact that you need it to be pitch black for a good picture , but it be in the garage and unfortunately people need light to see where they be go . so a lot of time be spend pause , slowly walk over to the light , turn it on and temporarily blind everyone , do what you need to do , shut off the light and slowly walk back to the couch because you be slightly more blind from turn the light on in the first place , sit and unpause . I remedy this by purchase two strand of red xmas light , and run one strand on each side of the screen , go along the wall away from the screen . this work amazingly well . it provide enough light to walk around and whatnot , but more importantly it do not effect the project picture at all . we find that orange work well too , but not as good as red . +635 Projector POS 5 please make sure to wait until this go on sale ... save yourself a lot of money . okay , I buy this awhile ago , but in that time I have have a chance to do some research , so I think I would share with you just in case you want to get one of these for you home . I will compare the moviemate 60 with the 72 . the Moviemate 60 be a newer version of they popular moviemate unit , but it be not hd like the 72 be . here be the catch though , the picture on the 60 actually work BETTER in a bright room because the lumen -lrb- the measure stick for how bright the image be -rrb- be at about 2000 , and the 72 -lrb- which be older -rrb- be at 1200 . here 's how this affect you when you watch a movie : I play the same scene from Toy Story 2 ... it be a scene that take place in a dark room , with Woody walk around and stuff all over the place . I set up both the 72 and the 60 in my daughter 's room , with sunlight flood the wall I project the image on . the difference be remarkable . the 72 's image be almost completely wash out , but the 60 's image be very visible . also , the 60 be more compact , have a handle and a carry case . the 72 be huge -lrb- by comparison -rrb- , have no case -lrb- well , Amazon sell one , but it be about -lrb- ... -rrb- ! -rrb- , and have no handle . use-wise , both unit be remarkable in they ease of set up and operation . and the sound from both will not give you surround sound , but they work very well . so , if you plan to have the unit set up in pretty much one place , in a dark room , and you want hd , the 72 may be for you . however , if you need portablility and want something you can show in even well light room , the 60 be hand down the winner . p.s. i buy the 72 after I have the 60 for awhile , and this be the result of much hand-wringing and work to try and justify keep both unit ... hehe ! but I do end up return the 72 . +78 Projector NEG 1 this be very much a case of `` you get what you pay for '' . I be swap out the projector , screen , and projector mount for my church and grab this little guy because it be 1 -rrb- white and would blend in well and 2 -rrb- cheap . I figure anything that would keep the projector up in the air would be more than adequate . what I do not count on be the metal be so flimsy that it would start to bend and go crooked after a month , thanks to nothing but the 5lb of the projector and gravity . now we have a perpetually wonky display , a counterclockwise rotation that be just about 2 degree ... but be enough to drive most of we crazy . do yourself a favor , spend a extra fifty buck and get a mount that be sturdier and will last . +783 Projector POS 4 I acquire recently my Acer pd100 and until now I be very happy with my purchase . the bright be sensational and the interface for conection be very frendly . +404 Projector POS 5 I be skeptical as to whether a product at that price point could deliver the goods . well , I be pleasantly surprize when I see it in action . Easy to set up , and spectacular picture quality . +42 Projector POS 5 this machine be so easy to set up and operate and the picture quality be excellent . the ability to connect you presentation with a flash drive to the usb plug n play save I from drag a laptop with I to do a presentation . when I do need the laptop the connectivity its such a breeze and I have no difficulty connect or set up . it display video very well and even in room with a lot of light . I use the Epson at a conference with about 350 people and with the 2600 lumen it be easy to see anywhere in the room , excellent color and easy set up . very satisfy with my purchase . +953 Projector POS 5 I be hesitant in buy a non familiar name FAVI , but by read the other review and what i be look for , this be the best bet . I be first impress by the packaging it come in . I read a few reviw where customer box be beat up and not work properly when the item first arrive . but with -lrb- retail ace -rrb- i be very happy with the packaging . second , i be impress by the quality of the product . the motor of the screen be very quiet . other customer have problem with the motor be too loud , but not with favus . after install the screen -lrb- which be very simple -rrb- i hook up my ps3 to it and see a dramatic difference in the quality . honestly im very happy with the screen and by purchase this great screen with such a great price you cant go wrong . Dont get confuse by purcash the $ 500 + screen when you can get a great product at a great price !!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS ! +673 Projector POS 5 we purchase the shift3 light blast entertainment projector and it be well worth it ! so far we have have three family and friend movie night that be successful . we set this up on we carport and we hang a bath board for the screen that we have purchase at Lowe 's . the projector work perfect for we use . +976 Projector POS 5 I have pre-order this projector for almost a month before it be ship , which give I time to contemplate my purchase decision . I go around to the shop and check the pk 201 , 102 model and other brand like the 3M pico projector and the Samsung palm size lead projector . especially that I have a full size dlp hd projector that i bough last year . the inconvenience of have to setup the screen and the speaker in the garden to watch a nice cinematic experience on giant screen reduce these occasion to just a handful through a year . I have high hope for the portable battery operate projector but I be aware of the fact that its power be low and can only be use in dim room . it finally arrive , and much to my surprise it beat my expectation just out of the box . it look and feel better than any of the other one i have examine first hand . the casing be sturdy and compact although the zoom swivel look fragile . the picture quality be very good and can certainly beat the quality of a regular tv . i use it with a nokium micro sd card from my old mobile and i run a slide show on the ceiling with short video it take my breath away . i hook it up to my iphone and watch a full movie in my bedroom in full widescreen mode , you will be in for a good surprise : -rrb- you only need the av cable for the iphone or ipad and a bluetooth or wire earphone and you have you 100 % portable cinema box that fit in you pocket . I also try it with apple tv connect through the hdmus link . it deliver a very nice picture . the build in speaker be good enough for my kid to watch cartoon while sit just behind the projector . although I love this projector i have a few comment to make . the battery life be not enough for one full movie and do not charge well if you operate the projector while it be plug to power source . it heat up a little too quickly , i know it be summer time but in 10 minute it be case be hot . with that say , my final verdict be still excellent and highly recommend . I also recommend the follow accessory : 1 -rrb- a small tripod be very important for ventilation and also position 2 -rrb- the remote be very handy because the button on the projector be small and as they dim you can not make out which button you be press . also good for slide show and short video off the memory card . +644 Projector POS 5 I be look for a clock\/alarm that have a ceiling projector and soothing sound as the alarm . it have that and the add flashlight be a nifty idea too . it seem very well make , it be heavy so do not seem cheap . some have complain about the brightness of the clock face or projection on the ceiling but that do not bother I and I have the clock on the table right next to the bed . the soothing sound be ok . I keep alternate between they - have not find the one I really like . but maybe I just do not like wake up ! all in all this clock have the feature that I be look for . +101 Projector POS 5 I be fortunate enough to be able to test this product for the Vine program . the 3M Pocket Projector MPro150 be a product that be useful , as my job frequently require presentation without there always be projector readily available . I be happy to take a look at the mpro150 , to check out its different capability and see what it could do . in term of the quality of the image , I have to say that the projector look great project against a screen or a plain wall . the box say that it work at up to 50 foot away from the surface be project onto , and while I do not test it at that great a distance , I get a great look picture at all the different distance upon which I try it . as far as ease of operation be concern , the unit be superb . the menu have some easily recognizable pictogram , and navigation be extremely simple . I have little problem go through Excel and PDF file , as well as the more vanilla powerpoint and text file . good stuff . connect to other device be pretty simple . it really be plug-and-play with the pc , and the iPod\/iPhone hook-up work quite well in be able to play music directly from the phone -lrb- though not , say , picture from the phone -rrb- . the smart card work well with the unit 's file system , and I can not get over the projector be able to actually hold presentation , plus video and all the rest . very cool . overall , this device do everything that I could possibly have expect it to do . I would give it a solid five star . +872 Projector NEU 3 we do not have a television anymore , just a dvd player and we computer . the 3M Pocket Projector be great for we purpose - we can set it up anywhere and watch a show on any blank wall -lrb- or ceiling , or a cheapie cardboard screen if the wall be occupy -rrb- . the picture be a little dim in light room -lrb- to be expect -rrb- and of the four volume setting I find level 3 be a bit too soft and level 4 be a bit too loud in we 10x12 room , but that be minor . we camera tripod fit perfectly , and there be a jack for standard headphone for when my munchkin want to watch something for the umpteenth time that I just cant stand to listen to anymore . love it ! four and a half star ! - 09\/30\/11 Edited to add : I have have this unit for a year , and unfortunately now it overheat and shut down if the volume be turn above level 2 . the laptop do not always recognize that it be there either . not terribly convenient anymore , since we need three electrical outlet to watch a movie : dvd player , projector , external speaker . downgrade to three star . +49 Projector NEU 3 I try connect this projector to the appleTV gen 2 and for much of the content the appleTV refuse to render the image as the projector be not hdcp compliant . the best resolution render be 720p 60hz . the image be excellent but appleTV simply refuse to work with it . I be go to get another cable today before return it to amazon but the packaging say hdcp compliant . I be so glad I purchase this on Amazon to have a easy return . I would definitely get another Optoma though ... +227 Projector NEU 3 basically this product be purchase because of the low cost and its description , take into account some feedback from other buyer . my expreiencium with it work very well , but in the dark , in a room you should turn off the light so you can watch it . he sharp left to say , especially the more control you must take care that the same projector , because he be the life of the projector . if you get lose or lose , it be like if you lose you projector , you may be handicap . +317 Projector POS 4 this mount work exactly as state and be infinitely adaptable up to a certain point - the adjustable `` leg '' extend out to increase the overall circumference ... sorry I do not measure the maximal span BUT in my case , it be about a inch short of be wide enough to span the mount hole on the Epson Powerlite 8350 that I buy it for . however , the company doe sell longer `` leg '' for a couple of dollar each , or there be a alternative model # that come with longer extension leg ... but some swift search on Amazon show you that these option be not available via Amazon `` Prime '' vendor , and I do not have time to mess about send stuff back , so ... however -lrb- 2 -rrb- if you have four short nut & bolt to spare -lrb- trip to Home Depot Hardware for such a pack - quarter inch circumference by 1 inch long + 4 washer -rrb- you can just join two of the `` long '' leg to two of the additional `` short leg '' that be pre-supplied in the kit and the result extra reach do span the gap perfectly well to accommodate say Epson 8350 projector . I will upload a photo -lrb- picture worth a thousand word -rrb- ` cos this be a quick & handy fix for load of other who write about this piece of kit not be suitable for the Epson 8350 when Amazon be unwittingly display it in the `` what other people buy when they purchase this item '' type of section when you buy a Epson 8350 . Hope this help - otherwise , it be sturdy enough and I should also add it be infinately adjustable for side-to-side leveling , front-to-back leveling , have a extender bar if you need to drop it down from a high ceiling and also have a pivot plate that attach to the ceiling to accomodate a angled vaulted ceiling like we have . go for it , but not if you have a Epson 8350 and you do not want to mess about with the afore-mentioned 4 extra nut & bolt like I use -lrb- hence the 4 star & not 5 -rrb- ... but in all honesty if you can put the thing together in the first place , you can just as easily add four extra bolt & save yourself $ 20 or so vs the other model with the `` long leg '' . ooh-err , missus . +826 Projector POS 5 I be lucky enough to grab one of these ysp-1100 unit while Amazon have they for $ 432 and be so glad I do ! my Marantz receiver be start to give I trouble and I be dissatisfy with the sound of my Boston acoustic surround speaker . I take a chance on what seem impossible -- a surround system without all the wire and point sound source . after live with this system for about two week , try it with dv 's , hdtv , CD 's and internet music service -lrb- Pandora and Slacker through a squeezebox -rrb- , I be definitely impressed . the automatic setup be pretty amazing and fairly easy to tweak use the manual setup menu . connect all the input and output be a bit frustrating , but once I figure it out only take a few hour . the remote code work for my Sony dvd player and 10-year-old Mitsubishi tv , but I can not get the Motorola cable box code work , so I have to use the cable remote for some thing and the Yamaha remote for most control . the sound be glorious , and frankly I can not figure out how this technology work so well ! my room be not ideal , with a eight-foot wide opening at the back of the room . in spite of this , on many sound source I definitely hear sound come from the side and back of the room . the soundstage for regular stereo CD 's and most tv broadcast span the entire 14 foot wall behind the tv . concert dvd 's and football game envelope the room in crowd noise , while concentrate the music\/commentary in the center front where they belong . I frequently hear sound that appear to come from all over my house . even my dog wake up bark many time look for the sound ! beyond the surround effect , which be miraculous , the sound be crisp and life-like . some other reviewer have comment that the sound be a bit bright and I adjust the treble gain down a bit which work for I . acoustic music sound like it be right in the room and all music do not have the artificial separation that stereo speaker create -- most music naturally be in the middle of the soundstage and this unit reproduce music much more naturally than separated stereo speaker in my opinion . overall this be a terrific system and I think it be well worth the current price of $ 700-800 , particularly consider you would have to spend at least $ 400 for a decent receiver and more for decent speaker . I should add that I be use my old Boston Acoustic 100W subwoofer and it sound better than it ever do before . I think the crossover adjustment be calibrate better and there be no discernable `` gap '' in frequency response . a sub be definitely require . could someone build a system this good with a good amplifier , wireless rear speaker , etc ? absolutely ... for about $ 2,000 . be a few bell and whistle miss from this to make it perfect for purist ? yes . but the benefit be overwhelming and I would not trade this system in for anything right now . +52 Projector NEG 1 I buy this projector for my rotary Club . unfortunately , do not test the project in time to send it back in the allotted time frame . the problem with the projector be that the image project be not bright enough . I try work with the manufacturer , even send it back to they for repair and pay $ 75 to have it check out . when the projector be return there be no improvement in the brightness . the manufacturer still insist that be the best they could do . we club eventually buy another projector , the brightness do not compare . the projector sit collect dust . I want every Rotarian in the world to know this . +646 Projector POS 5 we need a extremely bright projector at we church since we have a huge amount of ambient light and other bright stage light in we sanctuary . this one do the trick ! it be like look at a tv screen even with all the other light on when it shine on we projector screen !!!!! +384 Projector POS 4 this projector have completely blow I away . once it be focus in , the quality of picture be impressive . it be not hard to set it up or stow it away . I do not like have a tv visible in my house so , with this projector , I roll down a screen , set it up , and I be watch theater quality-huge projection . it be awesome ! I be totally recommend this . +613 Projector POS 5 first , let 's set expectation . I do not care if this would replicate a purpose build home theater unit . I buy the optoma because it be small , would sit on a end table beside my couch and have good enough resolution to play game when I point it at my wall . I know it would not display hd , it be less than $ 400 , and it come with a headphone jack so I would not disturb the wife -lrb- too much -rrb- while she be watch tv . I be worry that it would be a little dim , cheaply construct , and difficult to adjust . turn out , it be well constucted , plenty bright -lrb- especially on a\/c power -rrb- , and focus the unit be straightforward . what I do not expect be that it would be bright enough in daylight to watch espn3 through the xbox , play game with no issue , and that it would work with my gorilla camera tripod . when the sun set and the room darken , it work exactly like I hope it would when I buy it . when the sun 's up , I can still use it without issue . if you want a high def experience , buy something else . if you want a hand size projector to play image against a available -lrb- white -rrb- surface in anything but the brightest lighting , this thing work . add a hdmus cable and a Apple HDMI adapter , and you have get a portable projector for Angry bird at 60 '' . who would have think ? +719 Projector POS 5 Works as advertised - better than some of the bigger model con : the menu on the screen after boot up , be not very intuitive , you have to finger just about every button before there be a response - same with use the supply remote , overall , i would recommend this to anyone look to throw up some dazzling art , or gaming in the back yard , the list go on . +997 Projector POS 5 after read the review and compare price i decide to go for the projector . I know it have limitation -lrb- mention on previous review -rrb- but I be glad I purchase it . I be use it to watch movie with my wife in we backyard and image quality be real good . the image project be large -lrb- more than 100 inch -rrb- . although you can still see the image with some light on nearby it will be a lot better if it be completely dark . I be plan on post a video on utube so people can see the picture quality . great buy . +661 Projector POS 5 spend a lot of time compare this and the Epson 8350 . the decision come down to color as the black finish blended in well with my black ceiling . very happy with this projector . movie theater quality picture on my 100 '' diagonal screen . no image tear , no artifact ; just pure clean image . you can hear the projector when you turn it on , but can not hear it at all when you be watch a movie . we also have we xbox 360 hook up through this projector . again ... beautiful . I highly recommend the use of a surround home theater system . between gaming and movie night , I have not be very productive since I set all of this up earlier this year . +193 Projector POS 4 unlike other reviewer I put this together without the suspension bar and mount my projector only a few inch from the ceiling . that work fine . actually , my unit do not seem to have enough screw to use the bar . it be very sturdy and be work great . I do not look up in the instruction on the web -lrb- maybe I should have -rrb- but find it quite easy to figure out . the part supply be different from the include part summary though , at least in the number and type of screw include . Mine come with 3 different type of screw for the projector but not enough of the short hex screw , although I make it work just fine with what it have . +190 Projector NEG 2 this be absolutely not a fit for Optoma hd20 . I do not know how it fit other projector , but if you have hd20 look somewhere else . the mount assembly be too big for the tiny optoma and it be too hard to fit it in . if you try the centroid method the manual suggest , its nearly impossible to align the hole to match . once you put it together and mount it on the ceiling , it will still have some tiny wobble and adjust to fit the screen be quite a task . tighten the bolt do not really help so much . the only good thing be that the piece that attach to the ceiling be very strong and well build . in general , remember to loosen the bolt before hoist it on the ceiling . you will have to oil the bolt and put a lot of strength to loosen they . they be terribly tight . Stay away from it if you have a hd20 ! +41 Projector NEG 1 you replace the battery for power and do not work . please thank he for he help with solve the case +155 Projector POS 5 I use this for movie night outside on a 9 ` x16 ' screen make out of blackout cloth purchase on here from Carl 's place . you would be about 27 ' from the screen and the color and clarity through my blu-ray player be UNBELIVEABLE . there be no overheating or blur like other have say . I use a 720p Vivitek projector and this one blow it away . you will not be disappoint . the on board speaker be ok but I hook up my own surround sound . buy with confidence . +892 Projector NEG 1 I live in Peru and a relative bring this item to I when he come to Peru . when i try it it didnt work and i have to take it to a technician just to figure out it have a burnt circuit inside . it be the worst decision to buy this item . wouldnt trust in this store again . I 'll have to pay someone else to fix it , since im not in the US to make a complaint directly to the store . +98 Projector POS 5 this mount be simple , extremely well construct and fit the Epson 8350 perfectly . I buy the one with the 8 '' extension but i do not need it as the 8350 picture adjust just fine be only a few inch from the ceiling . my projector be solid and sturdy . I would definitely recommend this mount . +754 Projector POS 5 I see a review about this projector about a year ago on a tv show call screen saver , which air on tectv . they give it a good review so i give it a try , a love it . I only buy it to watch dvd 's on a it work perfect for that . I have a huge wall in one room of we house a simply paint the wall white a use it as the screen . a 20 foot screen no less . it be the ultimate home theater , just add you surround sound a boom . no reason to ever leave you house for the movie again . yes the light do need to be low , or in my case i like it dark . but its get a great picture a more then worth the price . we have have nothing but fun with it ever since i buy . its the perfect projector for those on a buget or for anyone that just do ` nt like to waste a lot of money on something like watch movie ... ... ... +986 Projector POS 4 I buy this on Amazon and have my parent deliver it to I in the Philippines -lrb- this save I almost 50 % ! -rrb- . I be use this projector for home entertainment . I have it setup in my living room\/kitchen . this room get lot of light as we be on the 16th floor . I have the bulb set to eco mode , as I want to extend the life . the image be visible on my wall , but not very enjoyable to watch . when we close all the curtain it look great . I find the image quality to be good enough , even project straight on my white wall . I do not have any hdmus stuff , so do not mind that it can not handle HDMI input -lrb- this could become a problem in the future I suppose -rrb- . I have 2 negative for this projector so far . 1 . it do not seem to auto-detect the input . so switch from computer to dvd player require you push `` source '' . not a problem , just a bit annoying . 2 . within the 1st month of use the picture go dark and the power light turn purple ! I freak out a bit , flip through the user manual -lrb- which be crap , like most user manual -rrb- to find no helpful advise except to bring it in for servicing ! I leave it alone for a good hour or 2 , but purple light keep flash ! so I decide to unplug it and plug it back in ... and it work ! have not happen again since . I have be use it for a few hour which may have cause it to overheat ? I have also change it be location which be a bit more open and should help with ventilation . I recommend this projector for most average user . you 'll enjoy it and it be large picture . we still watch cable on we small tv in we bedroom , but all movie get view on the projector . if you be think of get one of the new led projector because of the how long the bulb will last , consider you average viewing time . I calculate ours and this bulb should last about 4-5 year ! that be pretty decent . +798 Projector POS 4 great price fast shipping pack very well . Unfortunalty unable to speak about product as it be not the lamp that be out the unit be break and have it send out for service +524 Projector NEG 1 last only 4.5 month . : -lrb- I be not sure what to think of it . other than a : -lrb- Face , I think I will go a different route , because my OEM lamp last for year ... +895 Projector POS 4 $ 200 Projector never compite hi-end equipment . plastic case look FRAGILE but I lo ve it te image be very good , be the kind of projector that you let you kid plug itm or take to camping . I be afraid be not lead because the light be very good for a lead projector , but if some budy can confirm I will apreciate Alot of input interface hdmus , VGA , RCA , build in speaker for this price you can not buy something better and I recomend this for hobby or just a good movie or video game night , even some power point but NOTHING PROFESSIONAL 640X480 NATIVE RESOLUTION and UPSCALE for more than THIS BUT look very good on video and foto +802 Projector POS 5 I have use this item like 3 day and I buy it as a replacement for my old epson and as a complement to my benq ... I have probe it in different condition and I can describe it as follow ... at night light on or off it simply work great in power point presentation and computer general use ... the same for movie ... when connect to the ps3 or my 360 image be not as good as in a lcd tv , but it be possible to play and that be normal if you consider that this projector be 800x600 and it be really cheap ... when connect to my old xbox , my ps2 or the wius it work exactly as a tv , same quality ... anyway I would not recommend this unit to play new video game ... in day light condition it continue work perfectly well ... you can see the image clear even in a image 60 '' wide ... terrific performance for such a cheap projector ... I highly recommend it ... if I compare this projector to my other two one -lrb- a expensive epson and cheap benq -rrb- I only have one thing to say ... why do 'n this acer exist when I buy my first projector ? this one be superior in all term ... Acer x1161p be actually 2700 lumen , not 2500 ... in the economic mode image quality decrease let 's say like 15 % or 20 % in day light condition but it be still ok ... on the other hand , at night you can not hardly see any difference ... if you want to buy a projector take this seriously into consideration ... it be great ... and remember , a replacement lamp be only 128 buck ... +724 Projector POS 5 projector come well box in a timely manner . not a plug and play . nothing explicitly tell you that you will need cable to hook up to a tv or a computer . come with a 6 '' cable to attach to a disk player ... if you intend to sit it on a disk player , then you be , do . if you wish to run it from you laptop , you 'll need a cable . I like this one , Cables Unlimited PCM-2240-15 SVGA Cable with 3.5 mm male to Male Audio . note as other have , the speaker on the projector can not be hear well at all , I be work on add speaker to it . projector be bright , project very well , black be not super black , but for non-theater like people , it be okay . buy the projector , buy cable at the same time . it seam well make . I use it for class room lecture and some home use , root beer slide show party , it be fine . enjoy it . +361 Projector POS 5 I be expect to pay somewhere between $ 175 and $ 250 for a new lamp for a projection tv i get for free . however , I find this vendor offering exactly the same product at a really great price . the lamp install and fire right up with absolutely no problem . I would recommend the vendor and the lamp to any who find themselves in need of a replacement lamp for they projection tv . +178 Projector POS 4 Muito bom . Compacto , design excelente . Estou muito satisfeito !! esta conforme esperado no momento da compra . Otimo para mobilidade tambem . Tenho este equipamento junto com um wdtv live hub . otima combinacao . +617 Projector NEU 3 the size be great , just disappoint with the low brightness , and it be a struggle to find the right sharpness and color balance anytime I play a video or watch a movie . I be just new to lead projector . do not expect any miracle from 110 lumen . Dont expect good image quality with this product . +705 Projector POS 5 the mount system work just as you would expect , or better . the installation process take less than 30 minute , and it could not be much simpler . I live in a place build in the 1970 's , so I have 8 ' ceiling as be typical of construction at that time . even with a fairly tall projector , sharp dt-510 , I have more than 7 ' of clearance under the projector . it be exactly what I need for my installation . +461 Projector POS 5 I have have my Powerlite s1 + for a little over a year now , and I have virtually no complaint . through some creative shopping , -lrb- ie . pricematching and mail in rebate -rrb- I only pay about $ 350 for this projector . I have it permanently mount in the ceiling of my basement and have a screen that be about 113 '' diagonal . it have over 1000 hour of use now , and everybody that have be over to watch a movie on it have be totally blow away and they all want one . as far as the $ 100 component video cable from epson , I be worry about this too until I find a local company that make custom datum cable . I pay $ 13 for a 15 foot cable that work beautifully . initially I think maybe when my bulb wear out I would upgrade to a higher end projector , but now that I have have so much enjoyment out of this over the last year , I be plan on stick with it and just buy a new bulb or two . +481 Projector POS 5 I be deploy and this be by far the best use of any money I have ever spend . I can have any size tv I want for so cheap . its really good quality and make for a great thing to bring people together . pro : well where to start , the projector be lead so no warm up , long lifespan mine still like New . you can plug practically anything into it and it always come out crystal clear . this be very lightweight and small so easy to lock up or transport . Pretty much everything about this be worth the money you spend on it . con : the speaker on it be barely able to be call speaker , I have hear bed squeak louder then it . the little front stand to make it higher be off center so sometimes it wobble . the remote come with dead battery . as you may be able to tell i have to work at find something wrong with this , yes and for good reason since this be by far the best projector I have ever use . this be not just the best projector , but its the best investment I have make in a long time . +454 Projector POS 4 I 'll start with the `` pro '' \*\* it be lightweight compare to other similarly price projector . \*\* the lamp be incredibly bright , similar to what I would expect with a home theater class type projector . \*\* the construction do not feel cheap . it feel solid in you hand and \*\* when you flip it over or pick it up suddenly you do not hear and joint or seam creak like you do with some cheaper build plastic chassis projector . \*\* the outside look nice , be easy to clean and be firm to the touch . \*\* the control be extremely fool-proof . \*\* the `` keystone correction '' be great . no matter how high up , or down \*\* there be a lot of `` mode '' from blackboard to beige wall to white board to video to ultra bright . these might seem like silly extra perk , but they be truly invaluable in help you get it set up to look great fast . \*\* the definition for image up to 4-5 foot wide be INCREDIBLE . extremely high definition with incredible contrast . when you pull it back from the wall to go for something like a 6 foot wide image you will will notice fairly dramatic decline in definition , but the color still look great ! bright and vivid \*\* lot of plug in for VGA plug . no hdmus . I believe it can take up to three VGA plus and have a VGA OUT plug as well , so if you be use a desktop monitor , you can have what ever be show on you monitor also show on a monitor . it will let you bypass the projector when in conjuction with a CPU and let you continue to use you desktop monitor , you CPU , and all while project whatever you CPU or other device be tell it to . very nice feature I do not expect for this price . \*\* decent speaker . not incredible . good consider the money . \*\* nice free little carry bag and remote control -lrb- with battery ! -rrb- \*\* last and not least , this projector have two fan and they be both incredibly quiet no matter what mode it be in . they be also obviously quite effecient as well because when you turn the unit off the fan only need to run for about another 60 seconds to get the unit totally cool to the touch and then they power down as well . the `` con '' \*\* while it do have keystone correction it be only vertical , not horizontal . so you need to make sure when you be project that the projector be parallel with the wall . no horizontal keystone correction here . \*\* this be the opposite of a `` short throw '' or `` ultra short throw '' . this device be very much LONG LONG THROW . to get the size of image I be look for I need to have this projector about 12-17 foot away from the wall . \*\* when the in104 be on it put out quite a bit of heat . as I say though , the fan do a great job with keep it cool . I assume it throw off so much heat b\/c , for a projector in this price range , the lamp really put out a lot of light . \*\* as I say before , you need to get this thing pretty darn far away from the wall to get a nice big projection . the issue with that then be , a lot of you audience will probably be somewhere between the wall , and the projector . this be not the place to be as this thing have a crazy intense rainbow effect . I be normally not too sensitive to the rbe , but when I look back this projector when it be project the Disney movie `` Tinkerbell '' I think I be trip some major acid . it be totally psychodelic to look back at the unit in the middle of movie play . if super bright flicker light rapidly change color freak you out , you might want to spend a little bit more money and step up a model to one of INFOCUS `` short throw '' projector so you can keep that rbe in between the wall and the projector without you in the middle of it . \*\* the fan on this unit be big and powerful , and quiet to boot , but because of that , this unit spill a fairly substantial amount of light out of the fan duct . to I it be not distracting , but if you be really want a DARK DARK room for a home theater , it might be annoying . \*\* while the control panel be efficient , it be also very spartan ! this unit be all about just solid basics and not about lot of really cool bonus feature . \*\* no autofocus , which again , for this price range might be expect . the manual focus include a fast action `` course '' and `` fine '' focus though that be extremely easy to use to get a nice focus within about 5-10 seconds of initial focus manipulation . overall I would say this be great projector for the money . I be a public senior high math teacher and I think this will be great for use in a fairly bright room as the lamp be really powerful , however , the fact that I need such a long throw distance to get the image up to the right size be frustrating , and in hind sight I wish I have spend about 300-400 more dollar and get the same projector with a `` ultra short throw '' bulb and with a few bonus feature to boot on one of Infocus higher level model . as a projector for a large business\/conference room it would be great . for a large classroom it would be great . for a small classroom\/conference room I would not reccommend this unit . for a home theater for just a little bit of extra fun , in a nice big living room , I would reccommend it , however for a small bedroom or small basement room , no way no way . the color be incredible , the definition be superb , and even with fast action video I find there to be very little `` motion blur '' which be typically something that plague projector in this price range . all and all I would say it be the heart and gut of a unit twice the price , in a spartan wrapper , minus some of the nice bonus feature you might want if you be willing to spend twice the price . I give the unit a average of `` 4 '' star consider feature and performance for the buck ! +148 Projector POS 5 this be a really nice product at a great price point . installation be a breeze . I just wish that the controller box be able to be switch to the leave instead of the right . -lrb- this be due to my particular installation -rrb- . other than that , it be well worth the cost . +60 Projector POS 5 I have use this for play 360 game on it and movie and it be awesome . it be my first 1080p Projector so I do not have anything else to compare it to . it be portable . I come with it be own carry case . I go to friend home and play 360 on he white wall . no gaming lag . color be vibrant and crystal clear . my other option be to take a 42 inch hdtv with I , which be heavier , smaller screen size or take this pro8200 with I and play on 100-120 inch screen . and do not weigh as much as my hdtv . if you be super critical about projector , then get a 3 thousand dollar unit . if you want a 1080p projector , with build in speaker , portable , 2 hdmus input , 2 vga computer input , mic input , audio in and out connection and be under 1,000 dollar with 3 year warranty and 1 year bulb . this be a winner . +721 Projector POS 5 very affordable , good product -lrb- 5 month -rrb- and its still perform as the first day . the only negative be that focus be good but not great . when research this product i be never able to get this information so here it be , in about 9 foot distance i can get a 53 inch display . +995 Projector POS 4 warning : Great projector , do not buy for 3d capability , not hdmus 1.4 certify after several year of use a old BenQ projector we finally upgrade to the q200 . we do some reading on Amazon and like the favorable review and decide to go for it . it be a great choice , we mount it in we home theater earlier last week and the image quality be very impressive . pro : great price\/value excellent image quality over HDMI Bright vivid image con : strange mount hole arrangement it get a little warm which worry I , but that be probably due to high intensity bulb not 3d ready unless from the computer !!!! +659 Projector POS 4 I have be shop for projector to connect to my pc for gaming for a few week , but I keep come back to this one . now that I have get it , I can honestly say it be a excellent choice . the setup be quick and completely painless ; I just hook it to my pc 's video card via a dvi-hdmus adapter , switch it on , and voilum . the picture quality be excellent . it be bright , with deep black and vibrant color . I have hear tell of some people see a rainbow effect with dlp projector , but I must be one of the lucky few , because I have not notice that in the 10 or so hour I have use it so far . grant , I have it in a small , dark room , but the brightness of the picture surprise I as well . anxious to try it out , I point it at a wall that be paint dark chocolate brown . even on that surface , the picture be acceptably bright . when I add a matte white screen , it really blow I away . one of the primary reason I choose this model be its 0.72 throw ratio . and indeed , it work as advertise . I have get it sit around 5.5 foot from the wall , and with that I be able to achieve a 6-foot wide image . if I have one complaint , it be that there be no zoom that I can find , so I be pretty much lock to this setup . if you have a larger room , just be prepare for a giant image . another minor niggle be that the remote do not seem to work when use behind the unit . I sit it on a desk in front of I , and I have to lean forward to do any setup change on the unit 's button themselves . Picture clarity be not as tack-sharp as a lcd monitor , but it be acceptable for my purpose . I do not use the audio portion of this model , so I can not comment on the speaker quality . all in all , I be very happy with the purchase . +715 Projector NEG 2 I purchase this EPSON Projector for the same reason a lot of people probably due . 1 . it be a EPSON . they make great product . 2 . the Amazon.com price be much lower than retail . 3 . the description promise a huge picture with a nice image . 4 . hdmus input and the promise of `` near hd '' quality picture . well . yes , it do look nice and it have a self-contained dvd player . the hook-up be easy to reach and the remote glow in the dark . however : the ability to change setting lack completely . it be like a robot : `` I must do it this way . '' the lamp get HOT ! very hot ! so hot , that the exhaust make it nearly impossible to adjust the front leg . well , do not even worry about do that , because then you have white screen fill with no picuture . the keystone adjustment work for the picture itself , but not the entire project light image . the screensaver be something from the original Atari and the speaker sound muffle ; they be such bad quality speaker that , in order to hear the word , you have to turn it up to the point where you ear hurt from the loudness of everything else . only the ECO setting let the fan noise decrease enough to even hear the speaker . this be a piece of garbage projector . unless , you really wanna watch all of you television and movie in stunning 480i picture quality -lrb- like a old VHS tape -rrb- but REALLY REALLY BIG !!!!! - then this be for you . otherwise , save you money and buy a 32 '' or 37 '' lcd 720 or 1080 tv . heck , for $ 499.00 , you can probably get a decent 32 '' Class full hd 1080p television or 37 '' Class 720p HD television . do not waste you money on this projector . if , the 720p or 1080 hd one ever come down to a decent price ; I will consider buy another one . until then , I 'll stick with the flat screen . +89 Projector NEG 2 I have own this projector for approximately 1.5 year now . the image the projector put out be great , but there be some obvious design flaw with the lamp cooling system . while the company have replace numerous component at no cost to I as I be still inside the 2 year warranty period -lrb- 2 lamp , the air filter , and now the entire projector -rrb- , at the current rate I expect to purchase a entire new projector within a year of the warranty run out . I have get 9 month out of each lamp so far , and once its out of warranty I will be able to replace the entire unit for the cost of the next two new lamp . I have also be disappoint with how loud it turn out to be , which be in contrast to a number of review I read when decide which projector to purchase . my unit be ceiling mount immediately above the couch , and the fact that the cooling fan be always on be noticible . lastly , my projector be mount near a air conditioning vent and get plenty of cold air , but still can not seem to last more then 2-3 hour without overheate . +786 Projector NEG 1 do not fit the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 3010 , despite Amazon recommendation to purchase this with the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 3010 . a complete waste of money . undermine the trustworthiness of the Amazon recomendation +522 Projector POS 4 this product work great and it arrive within 10 day of I place the order . I think that be fantastic because I need it for my class presentation . thanks for the quick service !!! +940 Projector NEG 1 this lamp be so dim it be literally worthless . spend more for a oem . there be more light come from the back of this bulb than the front . junk junk junk . seller be cool though . +30 Projector POS 5 I have to write a review for this amazing product . I purchase my Qumi in August , so I have have enough time to play around with it and give a honest review . the picture quality be just amazing . I use to have a older Sanyo pj that be just standard def . replacement bulb for my Sanyo pj be $ 500 each ouch !!! the qumus seem like it be light year ahead of its time when I first see the image on my screen . the qumus do have to warm up for a few minute before the focus be clear . it be nothing major with 30,000 lamp life , if the few minute it take to focus bother anyone that much you can just leave this wonderful device on all the time -lrb- in eco mode -rrb- and you will never have to worry about the focus issue . sometimes I leave my qumus on for hour at a time because I do not have to worry about a bulb !!!! when I do leave it on for long period of time I simply switch from normal mode to eco mode and when I be ready to watch again turn normal mode back on and I be experience eye candy !! my wife like the pj also because it really do look like a oversize hdtv . I do have my Qumi in a dark basement , but I can leave on a couple of light -lrb- away from the screen -rrb- and the picture be bright enough . my brightness be not even all the way up it be like at 60 -lrb- can go to 100 -rrb- . as far as 3d be concern the qumus can put out a 3d image with extra hardware of course , but the qumus can do it . I watch Drive Angry 3d and the picture brightness be kind of dark , but in a dark environment the picture be still bright enough to enjoy a 3d movie . the qumus be a great product and the selling point for I be no more bulb to buy ! just turn on sit back and enjoy . you do not even have to worry about fall asleep with this many hour on the bulb . you could run this projector for 24 hour a day 7 day a week for 4 year before the bulb show any sign of fail . that be just wonderful ! fortunately , no one will run they Qumi for that long so therefore , you Qumi will last you for at least 10 year use it like you would you regular tv . hopefully by then the Qumi will be cheaper and I can have one in every room that use to have a hdtv . the future be look 300 lumen brighter , thanks qumus for a great product . I would recommend this product to anyone look for a economical way of enjoy hd on a huge screen . +878 Projector POS 4 I have have a optoma 719 for about five month . Picture quality be good . it be easy to use . I have not haul it around enough to know how sturdy it be . my only gripe be that the documentation be poor . this device come with a usb port on the back . it do not seem to do anything . there be no informaton on it in the accompanyng documentation or on the website . a e mail to tech support be not answer . I hope that I do not have any big problem with it . for those who might be interested it do work with s Video . +352 Projector POS 5 this be a great clock radio . guess I have not buy one recently . so many feature ! love the projection to the ceiling . love the Monday - Friday alarm - no longer have to remember to turn the alarm off Friday night ! dual alarm be great too - I use it for radio first , then the alarm . the time be permanently correct - that be pretty cool . the quality of the radio be good . ca not think of any negative . this clock radio beat many other that be price a lot higher . +674 Projector POS 5 nice lcd projector for video game , movie and tv . find the Mediawise model to have the best feature for the money . Picture quality be surprisingly good even on just a plain white wall . unlike similar model it be back by a full one year part and labor warranty . a free hdmus cable and extra bulb be also a nice bonus . will provide hour of entertainment for you whole family ! +119 Projector POS 5 picture quality out standig . ease of OPERATING great , ONLY DOWN fall bulb price . around $ 400 . if you find one cheap let people know !!!!! +160 Projector POS 5 the B&W; Panorama sound bar be my first choice but pricey at $ 2300 . a friend of mine who manage a high-end audio store and familiar with both the B&W; and Yamaha line suggest I look at the Yamaha 4100 specifically . it have more feature and be almost $ 700 less . I take he suggestion and have be extremely happy with the ysp-4100 . after upgrade the 4100 's firmware to the latest version 7.0.3 , 3d hdmus pass thru from my Samsung 3D Blu-Ray to Samsung 3D TV also work properly . +174 Projector NEU 3 Disclaimer : this be the only ceiling mount I have ever buy or use . I have install a lot of thing in my life and in my house , but this be the only projector mount . my impression be that it be as easy or slightly easier than average . you ideally want two people , because it help with : 1 . make sure the pilot hole you be drill into the ceiling joist be all around straight from all view angle 2 . stand beneath the one on the ladder , support the projector from below when it be finally be attach , because it very likely will slip and fall a little at some point , and it be amazing how useless this mount be with a smash projector 3 . understand the slightly too cryptic instruction other random advice : boy oh boy be joist skinnier than wall stud . and you do not want to screw into the edge of one and only discover this when the mount take the weight . we be lucky - we have two test hole which miss the joist , but by insert a large paperclip bent in a c-shape into each and spin they , we be able to tell right away that it be exactly in between the two . I have three problem with this guy . 1 . I install it on a 19 pound Panasonic PTAR100U , a projector I mostly love , especially for its excellent brightness . I try use the extend leg to mount it off-center from the joist . even with the 40 pound limit and the `` no-slip '' lock ring lock , the unit tilted toward the heavy side and there be no way around it . have to set up the leg so the joist and mount be directly above the center of the unit . the instruction do not talk about this . 2 . relatedly : even when balance , even with the `` no-slip '' ring lock , more than the tiniest nudge will tilt the projector in any direction . I call v7 and this be apparently just how the mount work . I be go to have to install some kind of additional stabilizer , like glue , or velcro , or a level that I can use to make sure I be fix it right when it tip again . every time I focus my projector or change the zoom , the image end up shift off the screen somewhere . I zoom out for 1:2.35 widescreen - totally fun with a 2.35 screen and a projector this bright ! but use the joystick to center the image , the resistance in the projector be like sixty time greater than the `` no-slip '' ring , so it be quite harrowing . 3 . it be only available in black , and the projector and ceiling be white . maybe I be crazy , but I think most projector be not black anymore , and most ceiling be some kind of white , so ... maybe that be part of why it be so affordable . all in all , it keep my projector close to the ceiling and it be reasonably easy to install , and it definitely allow for tilt correction more than some mount might -lrb- too much for I ! -rrb- , so it may be ok for you . +903 Projector NEG 1 purchase this from Kohls for a Christmas gift very dissapointed . noisy fan and the picture be very fuzzy , try all the seting for color , contrast , ect . unable to improve picture . save you money and buy a better one , find one on here for 139.00 hopefully it will be better . +926 Projector POS 4 Easy to use , fun for both inside and out . we use it for the WII and movie . Picture quality be like go to the movie , not hd . still , we watch most movie on this projector . Great for kid 's sleepover . my only issue be the sound level . it need on external speaker jack so you can place speaker in front . may be hard to hear when you sit in front of projector . I would definately recommend this for outdoor fun viewing . +678 Projector POS 4 the potential for this little projector be fantastic . but along with other reviewer , I feel that the technology be not quite on par yet to demand the price . what would be useful be a plug and play device that would allow a travel business person to easily -lrb- note the word : easily -rrb- queue up presentation on a laptop , etc for view in a board room , etc. . when I see this little projector , that be my first thought . I use a Apple MacBook pro MC700LL\/A 13.3-Inch laptop after search on the web , I find more information on the 3M site regard this little machine . unless you be desire to watch certain type of media -lrb- movie , ppt presentation or video -rrb- , I could not get the device to work . what about the simple concept of projection ? project my screen up onto a larger screen -lrb- if use a laptop -rrb- . I could not successfully accomplish this . perhaps a later iteration of the product will be more flexible , provide more instruction and fewer cable and confusion . the projector be not short on anything except instruction on how to use it . it be not as plug and Play as one would think . the ONLY real thing I do with it be watch a movie from my ipad use a include cable . not very useful since there be not enough sound capability to even count . this little projector be probably just at the beginning of it be type . I have confidence that in the future new iteration will be better and more intuitive . 3 star . +939 Projector POS 4 I be about to buy this thing - but notice there be not info on contrast ratio - which be important if use it in a darkened room . probably cause it do not have a good contrast ratio . Staples have it list at 2,000 to 1 . but , it will probably be fine . I will add more when I get it and use it . I have use the ex50 and it seem fine , and Epson customer service be excellent -lrb- have to replace the first one send as it do not work -rrb- . also , it talk about a hd quality picture ??? but the wide xga be not a high def quality image . that would be 1920 x 1080 . most popular home theater projector resolution wide xga 1280 x 800 1,024,000 total pixel hd 1920 x 1080 2,073,600 total pixel I be no expert , but notice these two bit of info that be lack or incorrectly imply . correct I if I be wrong - please . one good site say : `` wide xga projector will deliver great result when feed a 1080p signal , just not as great as they hd counterpart . that say , you would be hard-pressed to tell the difference between the two unless you be project a very large image , say eight foot diagonal or more . '' `` Contrast ratio literally refer to the difference between the blackest black and the whitest white in a image . a projector with a contrast ratio of 10,000:1 be not necessarily five time better than one with a 2,000:1 ratio . the contrast ratio do not account for how the projector display all the shades of gray in between the blackest black and whitest white . look for projector with more control setting . multi-color processing technology like BrilliantColor and srgb mode will allow you to really tweak the projector 's display to you liking . '' +577 Projector NEG 1 this do not work with my ipad1 . no video whatsoever appear on a external monitor . never buy asian crap again . +937 Projector POS 4 when I order this item I be optimistic consider that it be half the price of a OEM replacement . give that this be my third lamp in the 5 + year I have own the tv I be look for a cost savings . when I open the package I notice that the glass in front of the bulb do not cover the whole opening , it be a vertical rectangle rather a full circle like the toshiba factory replacement . this replacement unit lack the Toshiba marking . other than these few difference I have not see any issue . the unit plug in as normal and my tv have be operate fine with normal viewing habit . +816 Projector POS 5 I be look for a projector to use for my home theater as well as something I could rent out -lrb- to recover my cost -rrb- . about a week of research lead I to the x1 . I be originally look at the Epson Powerlite s1 , but after read several review on it about how pixelated it look . . most reviewer reccomend the x1 over the Epson . this lead I to start look at Infocus x1 review . I check around several place and here at Amazon as well and all of they be very good . as you have probably already read , the main complaint everyone have have be the `` rainbow effect '' . I probably would have never notice it if I have not be look for it when I get it home . you mainly notice it if you move you head after you have blink . I know this sound crazy , but that be when I have notice it . it be not that big of a deal and most of you friend that you bring over to watch a movie will never even notice it ! I have not get the screen yet , have to order it , but even on my white wall it look very nice even with some lighting on . it be much brighter then I expect ! I have try it with my pc connect to watch a dvd and also with my Sony dvd home Theater system connect up with s-video cable . the picture be about the same . I have order the adapter for the composite signal so that should make the picture even better . Hope this help ! I would definately reccomend this projector to anyone look for a low price projector . +591 Projector POS 4 every thing work . it do not need to be SDHC , regular sd can work also . it be very light , clear and the battery seem last quite some time . rca out work fine also . I do not have iphone so I do not test it . only con be the speaker be really bad and hard to understand what it be talk about . luckily my wife only need it for photo . +47 Projector NEG 1 this tv lamp have stop work after 8 month . it be suppose to work for 3to4 yr . the previous lamp that come with the tv last for 4 year . there be nothing wrong with the tv . I will never buy anything from this company anymore . +333 Projector POS 5 look at the s1 in respect to use it for home theater - \* it provide a brighter picture than most Home Theatre Projectors at 1200 Lumens \* the picture be very clear \* the color be accurate and vibrant \* the contrast be average . DLP PJ 's like the Infocus x1 have better contrast but u risk see rainbow effect with cheap DLP PJ 's \* it have a short throw lens so 10 foot get approx 100 inch diagonal screen so it can suit small room down to say 9 x 9 foot \* it doesnt have a genuine zoom feature so placement in a room be limited \* it be SVGA resolution but with the .5 size pixel -lrb- instead of .7 on most SVGA PJ 's -rrb- screen door\/pixelation be much reduce . I have it in my 12 ' by 11 ' bedroom at a diagonal screen size of approx 95 ' and it look supurb . \* fan sound be about average . it exhaust the air out the front so can be mount close to a wall \* it doesnt have manual individual color adjustment . the 5 preset view mode will be fine for most , couple with the ability to adjust contrast\/brightness . \* try to position the pj at right angle to the screen in order to avoid use keystone correction . the picture look slightly better if u dont use keystone correction with this pj . \* the pj itself be very inexpensive and the replacement lamp be the cheapest i have ever see . would be good if the lamp could go more than 2000 hour but since they be so cheap its not so much of a issue . \* many s1 's be sold\/have be sell so it should be easy to get replacement item such as lamp in the future . \* doesnt have a individual component video connection . U have to use the RGB port so if u have a pc u have to share this port . would have be good to have a seperate component video port . there be several entry level pj 's which be provide performance at a level previously only find on PJ 's much more expensive . at similar to the EPSON s1 price point you could look at Infocus x1 , Hitachi CPS210 , Sanyo z1 amongst other . in Summary Epson s1 - Bright , very clear picture , excellent color , short throw , cheap globe im very happy with the s1 . the most important issue above all be the picture and this pj 's picture be crystal clear , bright and vibrant . regard Talisman +850 Projector POS 5 we recently remodel we basement to include a movie room . this projector be the perfect finish touch for we new movie room . we kid love watch movie on the big screen ... and so do we ! this projector work great ! +900 Projector POS 5 pro : use mostly for presentation and occasionally to display video , amazingly visible in a well illuminated room , minimal difference between ECO and normal mode so you can go ECO mode in any condition , cool feature to adjust light output to compensate wall paint color -lrb- so you can convert any wall into a real screen -rrb- , 6000 hour lamp in ECO , low noise , very good scaling of non native resolution try 1280 x 800 , 1366 x 768 and 1650 x 1080 , I feed a 720p hd OTA TV signal of a soccer game and the picture be excellent , actually amazing for a projector in this price range , brilliant color , lamp replacement around 120 usd , small footprint for a 2700 luman device , very good option for a datum projector at this price . actually this be the second Acer projector I buy for my group , very satisfied with the performance . con : \* no audio . \* no button , the remote control slide in the projector housing to be use as the button station , so if you lose the remote you will suffer , so better keep the remote attach to the projector . \* only 1 year of warranty , all other Acer projector have 2 , not sure why , however for less than 40 you can add 1 year of warranty . \* -lrb- not a con , more like a suggestion -rrb- seem like the auto keystone correction be too sensitive and may try to readjust the image every 5 minute or so , that cause image flickering , so manual keystone adjustment be the way to go . other thought : Acer be do very good electronics at affordable price , I have a Acer AMD laptop -lrb- 4 year old now -rrb- almost indestructible and very reliable , 2 23 '' lcd monitor buy for less than 139 each , very satisfied with Acer , keep the good work . +894 Projector POS 5 I find it very easy to setup on both pc and Macintosh computer . oddly , I have a small issue install the usb driver on my Mac laptop . when I connect the usb cable to my Mac , the mac pop up a alert that it could not identify the keyboard . I dismiss that dialog box and proceed with the usb video driver installation and once that be do , the projector pair up with the computer easily . no issue whatsoever connect the VGA cable to the pc with Windows 7 . the projector be immediately recognize by the laptop and the computer automatically start send the video signal to the lcd projector . brightness be in my opinion outstanding , even in a bright room with a lot of fluorescent lighting . I have my projector 8 foot from a wall and the image on the wall be roughly 6 foot wide and about 44 inch tall . I be impress with the amount of feature in this very reasonably price projector . the image be relatively sharp at 800x600 resolution and a zoom control on the projector be a unexpected feature that allow you to zoom in on photo or whatever be be project . the keystone adjustment let you correct for off axis projection angle within reason . just about everything can be control with the provide remote control . the remote even include a electronic pointer function that you can move on the screen via the arrow control . a good variety of port be available include RCA Audio port , S-Video , VGA cable and there be also a usb typea document camera port . a Kensington security lock slot be also available . there be no hdmus connection on this model . the projector let you upload a company logo or image of some sort that can be permanently use as the `` startup screen '' when you first turn the projector on . this can also be password protect thus give some amount of protection if the projector be steal . the operation of the projector can also be protect by a password if you wish . lamp life be project to be up to 4000 hour or up to 5000 hour in ECO mode -lrb- which reduce lamp brightness and fan noise since the bulb run cooler -rrb- . there be several color mode to choose from if you wish to tweak the balance depend on what you be project . overall I be very pleased with the ease of operation and quality of output provide by the Epson ex3210 multimedia projector . +587 Projector NEG 1 I be so excited to get this projector , but I be on my second one thus far , and needless to say , I be not happy at all . the first qumus I receive work great ... for one day . after that , it do not matter what device I plug into it -lrb- blurry player , iPad , iPhone , xbox -rrb- , or in what order I plug the device in , or in what order I turn on the devices\/qumi , or which hdmi cable I use to do it -lrb- I purchase several and try they on to no avail -rrb- , I repeatedly and consistenly receive the `` no source found '' message . needless to say , I be not pleased , so I send the unit back and request a replacement from Amazon -lrb- who have be nothing but great throughout this horrific process btw -rrb- . Guess what , I receive the replacement in record time . Guess what , same hdmus handshake issue . these unit be either not build well or Vivitek 's quality control be abysmal . bad customer service as well . there be get to be something better out there . very dissapointed . +346 Projector POS 5 I love this thing , less than a grand and the screen be massive . Picture be extremely bright and clear . I have put about 500 hour on it so far with no problem , I would definitely recommend this to anyone willing to forgo 1080p and save a few grand . +205 Projector NEG 1 just over a year in , and of course my screen be full of dead pixel . the unit be basically unusable . DO NOT BUY . be fun while it last . +400 Projector POS 5 I love this product . Picture look incredible . we have this set up in we basement and people can not believe how little we pay for such a nice picture . +684 Projector NEG 1 the picture quality and quiet operaton of this projector be outstanding . the problem be the pixel have start die out now and I only have 387 hour of view time on this unit which I buy back in January , 2011 . I be go to contact Amazon and Vivitek and see if I can get it replace . I 'll let you know how I make out ... ok , so it be January 21 and still no rma number from Vivitek to return my defective unit to be repair . they have the worst customer service ever ! I explain my dilemma to Amazon and let I tell you , it be the best customer service I have ever encounter ! they understand the problem and send I a new replacement of the exact same model by next day air . and when I have to return the old one they even pay for the shipping . Amazon will definitely get my business in the future . WELL DONE AMAZON ! +606 Projector POS 5 thank you ... thank you SONY , really I could not believe my eye , it be a theater yes ... when I turn off the light the picture i have see be great . . the sharpness look like a 3d , it do not matter if you see the movie on the wall or on screen . this product be wonderfull , thanks to SONY the one and the only . +819 Projector POS 4 if you be look for the best deal of any dlp projector out there , this be it . you wont find one at this price that perform better . it displaye SVGA video -lrb- up to 800x600 -rrb- from the pc and hdtv format 480p , 720p , 1080i . use this for a entry level home Theater be in my opinion the best application . as for pc , the resolution be a little lack consider the size it will be project to . the icon would be 6 '' + depend on how big you shooting the screen . bulb life in economy mode extend by about 1\/3 from 2000 hour to 3000 . nice consider the bulb be 400 each . BenQ have offer a couple different promotion in the past like free bulb or 100\/200 -lrb- ... -rrb- -lrb- so be sure and check to make sure before you buy -rrb- . the thing that be most amazing to I be the refresh rate of 85hz -lrb- how fast it can paint the picture to the screen -rrb- . that be pretty much as fast as you 'll need for any application to avoid display problem , so play game on this isnt a problem ! for more info , check projectorcentral , they do review on everything that come out . benq pb6100 and the pb6200 -lrb- xga version -rrb- be in the top 5 list of DLP 's . anyone plan to use this primarily on a pc , think about get the pb6200 instead , its basically the same thing but display the higher resolution xga -lrb- 1024x768 -rrb- and for certain application higher 1280x1024 . +999 Projector NEG 2 this projector provide a good , bright , clear picture . but I have have two bulb blow out after only about 300-400 hour each . that be about $ 1 a hour ! for this reason , I would not recommend it . +665 Projector POS 5 as amazing as this sound I assure you its true . I set the resolution on my pc as 1280x720 , the Projector seem to automatically scale that down to its own native resolution . it look almost identical to the screen I see in my local Cinema . the difference be it can not do more than 144 inch well it can but it start to get a little blurry after that . it show AMAZING at 100 inch !!!! somehow no matter how big you make the screen the quality still remain amazing . the brightness be very good also . now I be speaking of the dark . if you want to view it with light on you be gonna have to move it close to do about 23 inch screen . that be if you want a very bright screen . it can do a extremely bright 23 inch screen . but for 42 inch etc be prepare to wait till night time . however at night it show marvelous even at 100 inch . I still can not get over the quality , this thing look just like my friend 's 720p hd projector when play movie only that he one be much brighter . but I prefer a dimmer projector with a bulb you never have to replace over the brighter one that require a new bulb every year . and that the beauty of this one . you get 20,000 hour . the maximum screen size I have be able to get from it that be viewable be about 150 inch . I wait till night and shine it on my neighbor 's house . it be literally as big as a cinema screen . however the image be a little bit blurry at 150 inch . I think 150 be the absolute limit anything bigger than that will require more brightness and a overall better lens and resolution etc. . however it should be note 150 inch be MASSIVE !!!!!!!!!! Jesus its as tall as I . larger than life . in close just buy this thing and you will see for yourself . it can definitely compete with a 42 inch hdtv when play movie . its very colorful etc this thing be amazing . anyone who rate this less than 5 star who do not have a defective product be a total douche bag . because the bottom line be this thing be $ 179 . if you be expect a 1080p world class projector that can do 400 inch then I be sorry to disappoint you but you be go to be disappoint . go and spend $ 15,000 on a Sony Projector you will get the best . only negative apart from need pure darkness and pure white wall for cinema experience which be expect of any projector anyways , anyways besides that only negative be you need to move the projector far far back to get big picture . it have no manual zoom . so at 10 foot you will get about 72 inch . however you will not want to go back after you see it at 100 inch . +759 Projector POS 5 ! \* ! \* ! \* ! first off I have use other projector in the past and be well on my way to buy either dlp or plasma 52 '' tv with hdtv tuner build in ... in buisness most projector be a hassle and the quality be only good if all the light be off and even then they seem far behind the tv compatition . then in the midst of purchase a tv a guru salesman come over to I and say `` Doc , if you really want something awesome try the optoma ep739 , or its cheaper brother the optoma 719 . ! \* ! \* ! \* ! . . I find a dealer with the optoma 719 and be very impressed with its ability to be bright even with two target touch lamp on in the room . the kid be impress with the xbox 360 work with the system on display in 480 as well as 720 , I didnt see it in 1080us but hear it be a stunner . we opt to go ahead and purchase the higher end brother the Optoma ep739 through circuit city online , since most retail store bestbuy and circuit city dont cary the hi end stuff they usually just sell it through the web cause they sell ton of the cheap stuff at they store and very little use for big boy toy . ! \* ! \* ! \* ! \* ! in perpetual conclusion , after three day of anticipation we have it mount and have the av switcher hook up run 5 other device to the projector . -lrb- -rrb- ... for the xbox 360 and the hi definition dvd player we have purchase , you can connect those directly to the unit as well and the unit will know which one be turn on immedietly , if it doesnt pick it up at first in every 10 seconds it will resync and try again , if you be impatient as I and my wife have become due to t1 internet connection , you can just use the remote and tell it which input area you want to use . and the best feature be that it will auto recognize the setting . so xbox360 auto to 720p and be unbelievable ! as for bulb life buy the longest best warranty , every 45 day ask for a new bulb if ya need it or not . they will gladly give you one and it make for good savings down the road when you be off the warranty . some other hot tip ... @ \* @ \* @ \* @ \* @ \* @ \* @ Dont buy one with a bunch of fancy -lrb- ... -rrb- like a dvdplayer build in , cause if it go you screw . dont buy one under 2000 : 1 contrast , that as low as you ever want . and never below 2000 lumin . ... Dont buy any with autofocus , the one we have in the office have auto focus , and sure enough it go out . manual focus be fine and very easy to use . @ \* @ \* @ \* @ \* @ buy a swiffer dust magnet pad , they be blue soft feathery fluffy thing and slip on the end of a stick most wife will know what this be , it be a dream tool to clean the outside lens , usually i dont even touch the lens , the dust particle just fly off toward the blue pad . ! \* ! \* ! \* ! \* ! as for screen yu dont have to buy one if you have 2000 lumin and a clean white wall . but if you pay 1,400 to 2,200 for a projector you might as well spend 100.00 on a descent screen . optoma once again be king in my eye and ive see alot . another good idea be the new paint you can purchase to use instead of a screen , if you be plan to go huge movie size like 20 foot or so , this be the way to do it . I would frame the paint area with crown molding and then paint the molding jet dull nonreflective black . this really help to set it apart . @ \* @ \* @ \* @ \* @ \* @ \* @ other wonderfull secret , if you projector operate on a 802 . frequency you can purchase a television tuner box that will send it a wireless connection through you house . addlogix ma-wl-dvi EchoView Wireless Video Adapter retail 300.00 be one for example , I have not see this in action so no clue yet . here be the stats on that ... send comptuer video -lrb- up to 1024 x 768 -rrb- wirelessly to video display Works with VGA or DVI projector , CRT monitor , flat panel , or tv compatible with wireless -lrb- 802.11 b\/g -rrb- enable pc -lrb- no additional hardware require -rrb- plug-and-play installation with driver install from the product -lrb- no cd -rrb- presenter no longer need to be close to the projector -lrb- not limit by cable -rrb- access internet or local area network -lrb- lan -rrb- through on-board 10\/100 ethernet interface ... lastly , , , for now ... hd dvd player be the hot new thing , unfortunatly its harder than heck to find a dvd that hdtv quality , but trust I they look 2x as good . we get ours from NetFlix , and the upconvert on we Hd dvd player do a ok job . another unfortunate thing , those Hd dvd player usually dont come with the HDMI cable so you will have to purchase one , the cheap aluminum one be around 50.00 the 24k gold one be 150.00 dollar . but very much worth it when you get the chance to show it off . the last benefit to projector be , we take it with we on vacation as well as everytime we be in a hotel since it only weigh 5lb and come with a great carry case . +967 Projector POS 5 review on Epson EX 7210 First Impression The box have a small footprint . it be smaller than I have expect . the cardboard box open up to a nicely protected unit . it be light weight . and it have a slide to open lens cover . there be no bulky ac power adapter ; only the power cable . there be no hdmus cabl include . most people do not use VGA now -lrb- at least for I -rrb- . There'a usb cable include but I think both the VGA cable and the usb cable be too short . source auto detection I immediately connect my tablet which have a hdmus port to the projector . it immediately find the input source and display properly without tweaking . there be no need to adjust any resolution setting because it just display the best resolution possible for any source you throw at it . powerful Remote Control The remote be not complicate and it be powerful . I walk 30 foot away and it stil detect the remote command . this be a great feature if you plan to mout this on ceiling . -lrb- unfortunately , this one do not come with any ceiling mount kit -lrb- most of they do not anyway -rrb- -rrb- usb Video Display I have yet to try the usb to display feature but since I be pretty happy with the HDMI , I do not think I will ever use the usb display option . I will not go into small detail about most basic feature we come to expect from 90 % of all of the projector on the markt . let I just highlight som of the `` surprise '' feature : 1 . close caption available-this means you can hook up a hd antenna and have this thing as a tv . I love this feature . 2 . the speaker sound be `` about the same '' compare to other projector I have try . I be hope for a better and louder sound but it be kind of disappointing . I guess most people expect high video quality from Epson but not sound quality . if Epson have work with bose , maybe together they can come up with a nice well round projector with great video and great sound so I do not have to bring a speaker box to do presentation . it be not like the current technology will not allow this to happen . 3 . the horizontal skew adjustment be just beautiful . I try adjust the projector so it be not directly face the screen . as I sit slant to the right side of the room and the projector just in front of I , the audience be look at a straight , nice rectangular screen without distortion . this skew adjustment , which be just above the lense housing unit , can be easily adjust to almost any angle . it be a great optical engineering result . I love it . this be a state of the art projector . rich vibrant color the light , color be full , vibrant , nicely balanced and saturated . the blue be mesmorize and the red be astonishing . I hook up the computer and visit many site and view many different picture , movie , slide show , YouTube , HD movie , even hook up blu-ray to play Avatar . it be gorgeous and breath taking . -lrb- mind you I be project this onto a 10 foot pull up projector screen big enough to show a nice movie for 150 people . -rrb- conclusion this be no ordinary powerpoint presentation projector for regular static picture . this be you ultra thin 60 '' lead tv replacement . -lrb- be the projection screen thinner than the LED tv ? I think so . . -rrb- use this and a nice set of thd speaker to watch Transformer III , it will be just like the theater experience if not better . -lrb- bring you pop corn machine too -rrb- the fan be very quiet , compare to other unit I have use . the 2800 luman be pure bright sunshine . it be BRIGHT . -lrb- period -rrb- . the screen adjustment be all there so it satisfy any placement position . the color be vivid , vibrant , rich and simply beautiful . so , it be time to dish out you American Express platinum card and make sure you have a nice screen to show what a nice projector you be buy . simply point this to a white wall with nail hole do not do justice to this machine . 4.5 star -lrb- point deduction on sound quality -rrb- highly reommended . +801 Projector POS 5 get a much cleaner look room without sacrifice any loss of surround sound , both in term of fidelity and clean and open sound field that wrap around you viewing as well as any surround speaker system cost ton more . +582 Projector POS 5 I buy this projector for home as a inexpensive device for the `` man cave '' . it set up in under 1 min out of the box and play my dvd 's flawlessly in high definition . my laptop display PPT presentation keep the display on the computer on for dual image to either stay at the laptop or use a remote . you will need a male to male computer monitor cable - they sell they at wally world for $ 20 or best buy for the same price if you want to keep it old school and simple . the display be crisp and clear . it have solid self adjust screw up \/ down leg that function well and a lot better than other flimsy projector 's I have look at . if you do not want to use a laptop and want to run it usb : it have a usb input for thumbdrive to play jpg , mp3 's , mpeg 's , wmv 's , avus 's . you have to create a folder on the usb and `` save as '' jpg format for a ppt slide in Powerpoint to use a stand alone thumbdrive with no computer - be sure to name the jpg slide as a , b , c , d , e instead of 1,2,3,4 when just use a thumb drive . it be easy and not a task to flip through the folder and image file create for presentation and pause they if need . you can also play a mp3 sound file during the presentation as background music if you need to . the remote for the projector be great and I do not even have to point it at the machine for it to pick up and function . I point it at the wall 15 ft away and it bounce back at the machine and work fine . the remote work great for the dvd function and it be nice to have a all in one device vs cable and separate device - external dvd player . the sound be fine , I wish it have be louder to bump it up 20 - 30 watt speaker to blast it , but it be as loud as a standard large lcd tv . that be the only draw back to it . you have the option of hook external speaker up to it if you want to . I do not need to . it be a nice device that will serve both purpose I buy it for - worth every penny spend for it . I would recommend it . if you want a more professional model , the Epson - PowerLite Presenter WXGA Projector with dvd Player be the next step up in higher resolution and price . the resolution provide in this model be more than enough to do what I want and feel satisfied for the purchase amount pay . +224 Projector POS 4 I be read a lot of review and people have be complain about the iris isuue and short bulb life . I have have the IRIS issue as well , I think it start around 1200 hour of use . the projector would shut down after a few min . you would have to turn it back on , then after a few min it would shut right back down again . I would have to do this about 4 time before it would stay on and I could actually use it . I call Panasonic and they tell I to send it in . I would have to pay to get it fix and for shipping as well . they make it sound like they would have to keep the projector for a couple of week and I would have to pay a lot for repair because it be not under warranty . I do some research about the IRIS issue and I figue out I could just open the projector and oil it up with a q-tip . it do not take any longer than 10min to do myself . it be simple and I have not have a issue since . I can not say anything good about Panasonic customer support , it suck . the bulb be still run at 2100 + hour even though the bulb life be rate at 2000 hour . if you wa not the bulb to last then you have to follow some simple guideline . - after you turn the projector off wait until the cooldown process be complete before you turn it back on . I would always wait at least 20min before turn it back on . - be conservative with the setting . if you put everything at max the bulb will go out much faster than it should . I have be consevative with my setting and I have be happy with picture quality , color and brightness . - if it be too hot in you house do not turn the projector on . the temp be usually around 80 in my house and I have have it on for hour at a time . but if it get up in the 90 's I would not use it . that about it . I have not be happy about Panasonic customer service but I love the projector . on another note , I buy this three year ago for -lrb- ... -rrb- and it be not on sale and there be no rebate . I dont know why it be more expensive to buy now . +53 Projector POS 4 this motorized 150 '' screen be significantly cheaper than other comparable screen and the Prime Shipping from Amazon be fast . it have some good feature such as a wireless remote that allow the controller box to be mount above the drop ceiling and it be much lighter -lrb- allow for smaller anchor bolt -rrb- than other screen . my main problem be the curl left and right edge , slow motor and the poorly install bottom rail . Make sure you have the ceiling height -lrb- ie . at least 10 foot -rrb- if you be go to use it in a conference room setting . a 8 foot ceiling will cause problem . +568 Projector POS 5 look for a top dog portable crossover with best in class image and feature ? so be i. the lt30 's bigger brother -lrb- lt35 -rrb- be pcworld 's top rate projector beat sharp xr-10x , optoma 719 , HP MP2210 . the lt30 be 10 % less watt than the lt35 for 20 % less price . quite the value . I be rainbow sensitive but have not yet see a single rainbow . convergence , screen door effect be all excellent . feature : lightweight 4.4 pound design for crossover use - biz\/home theater instant , dead-on autofocus result in unusually sharp image . instant , dead-on autokeystone autosensing of gamma bulb protect on power failure bulb be warrant for 500 hour or 1 year . 110\/220 volt do not have digital input . vga\/component only . that would seem like a negative but it beat out all other projector , include those test with digital input , in pcworld review . +96 Projector NEU 3 the projector be good enough for a kid toy or use but not what you would want if you be look for decent quality +749 Projector NEU 3 once install , it be quite adjustable and will do the job adequately for the price . however , get to that point can be difficult . if you be someone who insist on read the direction instead of just try combination you feel be intuitive , you be likely in for a struggle . when you open the instruction , you be go to wonder how such a seemingly simple device can possibly have so many part . the various explode view may send you reel . however if you just like to start fiddle and see what `` work , '' you might be ok . there be several logistic landmine you will have to overcome during this product 's installation , and the asian-influenced text be not go to help thing . good luck try to install the `` tube nut '' -- unless you be on a ladder such that the ceiling mount be directly at eye-level , it can not be do , and there will be a lot of grumble . also , this product may not work with certain projector that have only three thread mount hole -lrb- as oppose to four -rrb- , especially if they be close together . I get it to work on my 3-holed unit -lrb- optoma ep726 -rrb- , but the configuration I employ to get there be pretty insane . in sum : good if you want to save money ; not so good if you do not have about 3 hour and a lot of patience . +691 Projector POS 5 I read all the review on this product and get it anyway . it arrive right on time . take all the piece out of the box . all be in a neat package with all size in its own case . the instruction be ok but not the best . it do not take long to figure it out . spread out all the package of screw need and figure out what size we need . we size up all we angle and hole . look at the picture and move all the move part around to make the best fit and also enable we to screw all the part together without any interference . once we get the projector and bottom part together it be a simple matter of get to find out where the stud be in the ceiling , screw in the two screw to hold the top piece up and fitting the two piece together . take we about a hour total . we have the thing up and sit down to watch tv in a very short time . Fabulous . great piece of equipment . thanks . +245 Projector POS 5 we have own a optoma 1080p for two year before purchase the w6000 . we project on a gray wall with a screen size larger than 120 inch , ceiling mount . we use it for watch movie and play PS3 game . the benq blow the Optoma away with crisp brightness yet no rainbow or loss of black -lrb- gotta love dlp -rrb- . also virtually no aliasing . there be considerable set-up time if you be really picky about color and contrast - but at least you have the choice . the fan noise be unnoticeable especially compare to the Optoma ... I be afraid it be not work correctly at first . much cooler , much quieter , better picture = worth the price . additional note : we have become a house divide ... I like the Benq handling of motion , but my 28 year old son do not . we both agree that it be crisper , brighter and quieter than the optoma but we be go to begin look for a different projector that we both can love . resolve ! the motion problem be a result of a setting on the PS3 . for game the motion be normal but for movie it be strange ... not blurry , but odd . we change a setting on the PS3 from 24 frame to 60 hz -lrb- ? -rrb- and now everyone agree that this projector be perfect . +189 Projector POS 4 I receive my Qumi on Saturday from a order place on Cyber Monday -lrb- can not beat $ 100 off -rrb- . I choose the free shipping option and it only take 6 day . I also purchase a $ 7 cctv mount and love that Amazon package multiple purchase into one box . I read multiple review and watch countless comparison video on youtube . I have recently build a 103 '' screen in my basement and have test it use a borrow Viewsonic projector . I love the output but the idea of buy lamp in a few year be not appealing . I decide to try the Qumi because at 30000Hrs i can dedicate a projector for both movie and cable tv without worry about lamp life . I plug the Qumi into my Vizio blu-ray player and load `` Gladiator '' as my test movie . I mount the Qumi at a distance where the picture fill the 103 '' screen . I hit the light and sit down to enjoy . I be honestly surprise . the Qumi do not brighten the room as much as the viewsonic , but that be because the output be focus onto the screen . the image be crisp and focus from the get go and I do not have to tinker much with the focus wheel . I then change over to `` a bug Life '' and this be where it truly shine . the color from the animated movie be astounding . truth be , you can not just judge the output base on one movie , show etc. . try different media . if you plan on purchase this projector for home theater purpose , make sure that you have a relatively dim room . the projector will do well in a light room if you video or image be not dark . I be able to watch '' a bug life '' with full light on in my basement . not so with `` Gladiator '' . plan on use a home theater system for audio unless you plan to use headphone . for its size , i be surprised Vivitek have room for speaker . pro : can not beat 30000 hr . E.g. . if you leave it on for 24 hr , it will last for 1250 day -lrb- 3.5 year -rrb- Easy to mount . I use a ceiling mount for CCTV camera that i purchase together in build media player allow for multiple media option . watch movie download to my harddrive con : be prepared to buy adapter especially if you plan on mount it a good distance from you dvd player . +619 Projector POS 5 I sell my dt-200 today after 2 year of trouble free service . this be my third home theater projector and by far the best I have ever own . the picture be excellent for this price point . black level and lumen leave a little to be desire . however , one must keep in mind that this be not a runco or sim2 either . I really believe sharp be offer the most bang for the buck of any electronics manufacturer in today market . that be why I be stick with they ... I have upgrade to the dt-300 . +714 Projector NEU 3 it turn out to be a big , costly Mistake ! I fail to grasp that comment and review for Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8100 be for a newly release projector . no one have own and operate the 8100 more than 90 day when I be read the review in late November and early December 2009 ! no available information could possibly verify the publish claim Epson 's be make about the 8100 's lamp life be 4,000 hour . DAH ! a professional reviewer do briefly mention that Epson have experience early lamp blowout in the 8100 beta version and change supplier . a couple of blogger note that they have experience blow lamp with up to 400 hour on they . they be send replacement - no problem . one reviewer even have two lamp blow and be give a replacement projector . so I brush over that information as just isolate incident resolve to everyone 's satisfaction . it turn out that that brush stroke will cost I -lrb- ... -rrb- . reality strike Home suddenly and darkly when my Epson 8100 's 4,000-hour projector lamp blow . it have last less than 400 hour or just 10 % of life expectancy . what really smart -lrb- a poor choice of word consider my oversight -rrb- be my 90-day warranty be also blow -lrb- that be better -rrb- by 37 day . that 4,000-hour lamp life expectancy be not something any of we make up , it be actually publish in Epson 's 8100 user 's Guide specification on the top of page 66 and include in Epson 's sale literature . so please keep in mind that all reviewer before now have be new owner with less than 3 month experience with the 8100 . after 4 month plus I can tell you : 1 . the fan be not noticeable until the there be a quiet scene , and then you will hear the fan blow air ; and 2 . the picture be really amazing - until you lamp blow . ok , let 's go back to the beginning if you care to learn from my miscalculation -lrb- or just want to be amuse by my naivety -rrb- . we have finally decide to break open the ol' Piggy Bank and upgrade we 80 's vintage 27 '' RCA TV , Stereo and VHS\/DVD combination in the family room to a 2010 Home Theater System in the lower level play area thanks to all the kid reach double-digit . I do all the usual research like go to Big Box Electronic store and watch 60 '' flat Plasmas , lcd and projector . I listen to 5 and 7-channel surround sound receiver and speaker system . I go on-line and read professional review and blog about Home Theater system . I spend hour scour over Sony , Mitsubishi , Panasonic , Epson , InFocus , Vivitar , etc. specification , price and warranty to determine which product make the most sense for we base on budget and use . on December 10 , 2009 we order the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8100 to anchor we home Theater . we add the 7-channel Yamaha RX-V565 A\/V Receiver and 8 cerwin-vega speaker -lrb- 10 ' sub , 8 '' woofer , 6 '' mids & 2.25 twit -rrb- to give great surround sound to match the picture . then we take the plunge and add a Panasonic DMP-BD60P-K Blu-Ray player as a Family Christmas present -lrb- amazingly a couple of family orient br disc end up in the kid ' stocking compliment of Santa -rrb- . the last step be to hook up we exist dvd\/vhs player , a Wii and ps2 , and we be all set up 'til the kid leave for college . the Epson 8100 be newly release in October 2009 and win out over the other projector due to its relatively low , -lrb- ... -rrb- entry cost to lcd projector technology , and its publish specification of 4,000 hour of Lamp Life - even at the brightest setting . that 4,000-hour lamp life be not something the reviewer make up either . it be actually publish in the user 's Guide specification on the top of page 66 . other manufacturer specify projector lamp to last between 1,000 and 3,000 hour and cost -lrb- ... -rrb- . Epson 's 4,000-hour lamp life and -lrb- ... -rrb- price tag be big selling point to we since we expect that we would not need a replacement for 3 or 4 year . I must admit that the 8100 provide a amazing 120 '' picture even when project on a bare wall paint flat , eggshell white . it be so good that we elect to postpone buy the -lrb- ... -rrb- fix frame screen until the fall . unfortunately the 4,000-hour projector lamp last less than 400 hour ; but greater than the 90-day warranty -lrb- it blow on day 127 -rrb- . as part of my earlier research , I read about common lamp killer like movement when warm , poor circulation , and extend ON time . since day 1 the component have be on no more than 3 hour consecutively , sit side-by-side on a 48 '' long , stable shelf with 3-4 inch of side clearance , and greater than 12 inch of rear wall clearance . the projector filter have be clean every month . the 8100 and BluRay have be plug into one point of use surge protector and the Yamaha receiver , vhs\/dvd player , Wii and ps2 have be plug into another point of use surge protector . both surge protector have be plug into a 15-amp , 120v , 2-plug wall receptacle . the receptacle be on a circuit that include a couple of 60 watt reading lamp . I decide to contact Epson 's Technical support in hope that they have insight or information about blow lamp . I really would have like to know more about lamp blowout before I shell out another -lrb- ... -rrb- on the 8100 . I ask they if they have any suggestion , remedy or rebate -lrb- hint , hint -rrb- for 8100 owner whose lamp blow with less than 10 % of 4,000 hour go . they send a very quick auto response promise `` a Epson representative will respond to you e-mail shortly . '' after 48 hour I decide to write again and express my disappointment that someone could not even bother to send I a , `` Sorry you be out of Warranty . '' auto response . so I guess as a purchaser of my first Epson product I have to warn those look into buy a Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8100 to discount the 4,000 hour lamp life specification in you decision-making process . I can only vouch for about 400 hour so far . I can say from experience that Technical support have a quick auto response system ; but I be still not sure there be any `` live one '' at the switch . like a Toyota owner of yesteryear , I have to assume Epson be not keep any inherent problem from the buy public . I mean they do not send I any additional information so nothing could possibly be wrong - right ? oh yeah . one more thing . you might want to hold off on buy that fix frame screen until you have purchase a back-up 8100 lamp . +381 Projector POS 5 so far this have be a good buy . I be Mark Tucker , the assistant pastor at Old Orchard Church in St. Louis , MO. . this dp be a great find because it do exactly what we need it too . we do not need the extreme high definition image , but we want something that look good and enlarge well . it do get a bit hot after 2 hour of straight use , but I be not sure that this be a problem . the price point be excellent for we as a small church , especially since I get it as a Open Box discount . I love the option and the keystone feature . +730 Projector POS 5 I buy this projector a few month ago not know what to expect , I pay the same price as I do for my plasma tv . this thing be amazing for gaming and movie from a blu-ray player or computer . hook it up to a hd cable service be not the best . as it kinda look like a standard definition even through the hdmus cord . hook it up to a VCR or use the rca cord be not that good . the speaker in the system be only good for small room . no need really for a projector screen , it look really good even on my dirty white wall , or the blue wall in show it on . although the screen do make it easier to look at . and doesnt give you as bad of `` movie theater eye '' in a small room no need to have a heater on , as this thing pump out more heat than a space heater . no zoom option which be kinda rough to deal with . but this be the highest quality projector for the price at the time of purchase . I will update if I have any further comment on here . +405 Projector POS 5 I be play my PS3 on a old SDTV and know I be miss out so I start search for a hdtv . after do some shopping I realize I could get a much larger hd image for my money if I get a projector . I be a little nervous because I have never see a hd projector image first hand , but after much research I pull the trigger and order the Epson 705 hd and I could not be happier . for less than $ 700 , I have a 100 inch hd image that provide a amazing experience for gaming and movie watching . while it be only 720 , many of my friend who have much more expensive hdtv have say they wish they have get a projector instead of they tv . here be the pro : - Easy set up - bright enough to enjoy on a bright day with the blind down - great picture here be some con : - it put out quite a bit of heat -lrb- but I do not notice unless I get close to it -rrb- - the black be not perfectly black Bottom line : if you have a lot of money to spend , you can find a better projector . if you be look for something affordable that you can use to play game or watch movie on , you will love this . +74 Projector POS 5 I buy this to have a portable projector for meeting . despite the ` game ' in the name , this work perfectly for powerpoint presentation . it be simple , which mean durable . Picture be clear and relatively bright . in particular the led be unlikely to overheat and burn out ... a consistent problem for other projector when you do not have the time for proper cooldown . the 50 luman output seem awfully low in comparison to the 3000 luman value I be see on projector -- but I can not see that much difference -lrb- this be perhaps 30 % to 50 % as bright as a lamp projector , which mean you will have to do with a smaller picture , but it be the area that count , so reduction to 50 % area be reduction to 71 % diagonal -rrb- . some review mention problem with syncing to the VGA port , but I have no problem with my Acer Timeline ... it work right from the start . I be not able to get the VGA to work with my desktop , because I could not get the resolution on the card to go low enough for this projector . I suspect that be the problem in the other review where the VGA do not work . +328 Projector POS 4 I buy the Fabio RioHD-LED-2 Mini Video Projector hope for something small and light that could do the job . I have only use the product a few time and it have work quite well . the motor run quietly and the image be sharp and vivid . I do not want to spend a lot of money on a projector , because I do not use it a lot . when I do , I want a product that do not weigh a lot and be easy to transport . the Fabio satisfy both category , light and easy to carry . when I use it for extend period -lrb- a few hour -rrb- and it still do the job , I will be even happier . so far , I have only use it for under 30 minute , each time without any problem . I can not comment on how the projector hold up when on for extend period , since I have not use it that long yet . +727 Projector NEG 1 the picture from this projector be good for its price range , but the bulb fail after 300 hour . other reviewer have experience this , so it sound like the lamp rarely last the advertised 2000 hour . at $ 350 for a replacement lamp , it make this a poor choice for a budget projector . +868 Projector POS 5 this be a excellent business class lcd projector that be easy to use right out of the box . the Epson be plug-and-play for pc , -lrb- mac require a driver installation -rrb- use either a VGA or usb connection . the usb cable be not include . there be also a composite video input as well . the projection be bright and clear , with vibrant color , even in partially light room , which make it ideal for business use . Powerpoint animation look good , and photographic background appear clearly define in medium light . the projector resolution be 1024x768 , which be standard resolution , and not widescreen , but since most screen roll out longer than they be wide , and many business environment be still use standard definition , this should not be a problem . the unit be reasonably light weight and compact , and have most feature that the average business user would need for presentation in the boardroom or on the road . even dvd movie be project pretty good , but not as well as presentation slide in medium to brightly light room . I would not recommend this projector for home movie view - there be better projector on the market specifically design for that . however , in it be class , I think this be a extremely well perform lcd projector . +755 Projector POS 5 I will never buy another tv again ... I be a regular guy ... so set up be tricky . 3d viewing be impossible and frustrating at first ... but I get my friend over to help I and now im watch 3d movie on my 125 '' screen ... woot woot !! it do not come w 3d glass so we have to order 3 pair but this picture be amazing . I think I would have to buy a proj screen but it be on my white textured wall and it look awesum ... tv r for sucker !!! Projecters baby : -rrb- I tell everyone about it ... I wish I woulda get 1 sooner . +15 Projector POS 5 this universal bracket impressed we all . we it team purchase a number of they after help to install one in we facility . it be a breeze and have every adjustment you could ask for . 6 month up in the room and absolutely no adjustment necessary . but with confidence . +312 Projector NEG 1 I buy this item on Jan 25 2011 and start use in February . after 10 month , it start to appear strange white dot , on the project visual ... it first start with a single white dot , and quickly number of dot increase to a annoying number of 30-40 -lrb- and s still increase -rrb- . as a default reflex I contact Optoma -lrb- in the UK - as I live in London -rrb- . they simply respond they they can not help ... what a waste of money ! PS . it be good projector - when you first set up . but you can not use it with these white dot . and , as I research online , that seem like a common problem - often associate with a very expensive chip flaw ... beware ! +761 Projector POS 5 we buy this ViewSonic PJD5122 projector to replace we older projector that be maybe 5-7 year old . what a amazing difference !! the brightness and picture quality\/sharpness be outstanding . I do not think we really realize how bad the old one be get until we start use this one . anyways , the pjd5122 be very easy to set up , adjust and operate . we have only use it twice so far for company meeting , yet everything so far about it be outstanding and above we expectation . -lrb- we use it for PowerPoint presentation , Excel spreadsheet , photo and a occasional video . -rrb- we would recommend it to anyone look for a excellent projector for a great price . definitely 5\/5 star . +66 Projector POS 5 I buy this projector -lrb- pj -rrb- about a month ago . I have be shop for about 2 -3 month for a pj . my old Sanyo PJ be about 8 year old . pay $ 2000 back then for it . I consider it old technology and want something newer , but do not want to spend a whole lot of money . I be willing to spend up to $ 1000 . I be think about Optoma HD 65 -lrb- 720 -rrb- \/ hd 66 -lrb- 720 -rrb- or the Optoma hd20 -lrb- 1080 -rrb- . I read all the review and research AV forum . I read that Epson have good customer service and stand behind they product . I be not that technical and try to keep my expectation reasonable . I have PS3 \/ HD cable box \/ Wii hook up to the PJ . off course the hd \/ Blueray contents give I the best picture quality . the Wii output at standard definition be okay . I be very happy with 720p . not sure if 1080 be worth the add cost . this 720p pj be well price . the build quality be good . it be small and portable . have a variety of input . the remote be functional and it be easy to set up . if you be on the fence line , just go out and buy it . keep you expectation reasonable and you will be very happy . +576 Projector POS 4 I be look for a clock with a easy to read display , quick set up , and battery backup . this fit all my need . the only problem I have have , so far , be after the auto setup , the clock lose 5 minute from actual time . luckily it have a manual adjust feature that take care of the problem . I would recommend it ! +822 Projector NEU 3 it be a good mount but I could not get my ceiling to hold it and the projector . maybe it be just my ignorance +970 Projector POS 5 my family buy this projector for Christmas of 2009 and we absolutely love it ! we have all of we entertainment device hook up to it include we dvd , hd Cable television , game console , and even my wife 's HTC - EVO phone have play through it via HDMI cable ; it have become a true entertainment center . we have host BSU football party at we house -lrb- blue and Orange have never look better -rrb- , the kid love to play the Wii on the HUGE screen , and the money we have save not have to go to the theater have pay for the projector many time over . the image be good enough to watch in a daylight light room , yet really pop at night ! the contrast ratio be a little low , yet for the price of the machine it do not bother I . one downside be that although the lifespan of the bulb be rate for 4000-5000 hour , we have have two bulb so far that have not go past much more than 1000hr . though this have be disappointing , Epson have really come through on they customer service in replace the bulb , twice , at no cost to I and receive it within a week of call customer support ; great job Epson ! what persuade I to initially buy a Epson projector be the price for what you get , and the great online review . what keep I as a customer be the phenomenal customer service Epson have provide thus far . I would -lrb- and already have -rrb- recommend this projector to anyone look for one as a inexpensive yet effective way to setup a great home entertainment system . +171 Projector POS 5 projector be small , fit in place of battery cover . be careful , projector do not fit as well as cover , so take care not to break or scratch contact when fitting it to phone . Projector fire up immediately when slide lens cover to reveal projector lens . very easy to use . focus be a slider on the side of projector . can toggle landscape\/portrait by press the phone 's camera button . image be brighter than I expect after read many other review . Easy to focus . do use up battery life pretty quickly , so if you be not use external charger , monitor you battery life closely . +706 Projector NEG 1 this be a joke , can not believe the review , you have to be in total darkness to see ! the picture be fuzzy if it be over 3 foot wide , bad bad , bad +374 Projector NEG 2 just be not bright enough to keep . have it in a dark room at night but movie be still too dark . bummed cause it be perfect size , functionality and simplicity for a home portable unit . +551 Projector NEG 1 these so call portable projector be all crap . do not expect to watch movie or anything . I think this stuff should be $ 100 . it be simply a toy that make you frustrate after 3 month . if it be $ 100 , I will pay otherwise it be not worth the money . however , if you want expensive toy go ahead buy , or if you have money to waste . but , I would bet you will feel the same . it be worth $ 100 ! +84 Projector POS 4 I recently purchase the Sony vlphw30ae -lrb- vlphw30 series 3d with transmitter and 2 pair of 3d glass -rrb- . as a previous owner of a Sony vplvw60 1080p 24 frame projector I have high video standard and expectation . this be say , I be not sure what to expect give the lower price point and how a 3d optimize picture would stack up in 2d mode . I be quite impressed with the fast start up time and the very deep black level of the vlphw30ae . the manual zoom and focus take some get use to but work fine . the 3d pictue on this relatively low cost projector be quite impressive , very bright and detailed with super deep black level . 2d detail for 1080p 24 frame fall a little short compare to the vplvw60 but not by much , give the vplvw60 be twice the price and 50 % heavier I be not disappoint . the remote backlight work great , all advance function be there . still try to figure out the best cinema mode , the low lamp mode be plenty bright for my need . I rate this high , 8.5 ~ 9.0 out of 10 the Amazon service and shipping time be great , well packed and with all the accessory ! +871 Projector NEG 2 the GOOD : Portable , EASY to use . the BAD : because it be a laser projector , the image be speckled . the technology employ 3 laser that mix the color to generate many . however , you really can not get a true `` white '' color so it just look like all the color in one . my eye be very sensitive to that . it be hard for I to watch a movie\/netflix without look at the white speckled effect . I be hope it would be better . +600 Projector POS 5 it be hard to believe that I can carry this little device around with I , which be the same size as a phone , only thicker , and spontaneously show my photo or a movie within 30 seconds . also , I be astounded by both the pricing and quality for such a deep discount off of the new price -lrb- buy it at Tiger Direct , as a refurb -rrb- . my refurb item be in brand new condition with all covering , bag and accessory that a new one would have . ca not believe all the cable that come with this to go along with all the datum port on this projector ! this be not mention in most review and I have wonder , prior to purchase , whether I would even have a iPhone cable , but it come with a Dexim connector which take the provide 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm phono plug . I can connect to my iPhone , iPad , laptop , desktop pc , and also use a internal micro sd card up to 16gb which will hold roughly a dozen full length mp4 movie . be sure to use the include converter software if you movie be larger than 720x400 . again , the condition of my refurb unit be pristine , just like buy a new one . Technically , the brightness for 20 lumen be much better than anticipate . of course , the farther you be from the surface you project on , the dimmer the image , but I be able to regularly project 50 inch diagonal image in a dark room which be fully saturate in color and with great contrast ! get a bit warm , but not hot . the provide padded zipper case allow you to safely carry in you pocket and have it with you all the time . instead of invest in a expensive screen , I buy a large , white , folding project board of foamcore material at a office supply store for around $ 15 . Works perfectly and fold up to put in you car or carry around . it be large -lrb- roughly 26x36 '' but very light -rrb- . off the cuff , you can use any light color surface , even window shades , wall , or blind in a pinch . +764 Projector POS 4 this be a great alarm clock . Timex t740 make wake up a alot easier than you every day alarm clock . one of the great feature be a on board flash light that can come in handy during a power outage ... also soothing sound to wake up to . +803 Projector POS 4 you receive what you pay ... no more would be nice to have a audio output to connect speaker when you watch movie from the sd memory . the subtitle most of time be not clear enough . but for you hundred buck ... its ok . +844 Projector POS 5 we set this up in we theater room in about 5 min . extremely easy and work great with out MITS HC4000 . we do not have to use the extended piece thing : -rrb- delivery be fast ! solid piece . I would highly recommend this to anyone ! +282 Projector POS 5 this be the first projestor we have own but we be very impressed and can not imagine how the picture coutl get better . +991 Projector POS 5 the good : simple to install amazing sound do make you feel like you be sit the the middle of the cinema the functionality have anything I want and more the downside : no sub woofer -lrb- but I already own one -rrb- a bit expensive terrible user manual +348 Projector POS 5 I love this video projector ... for a incredible price it be turn my family room into a movie theater ! when I put CHICAGO in the dvd player and see it project by the InFocus x1 , I know I have what I would want all my life ... my own theater !! the clarity and color be absolutely amazing on my 84-inch diagonal screen . +653 Projector POS 4 great screen ! although , I do not like the way the package tracking be address by this company . the courier use be unknown -lrb- ` pilot ' courier -rrb- . no package tracking link , contact or phone number . when I search for pilot and leave message , no one bother to respond . they do not follow note \/ request on my door -lrb- just to call my cell phone -rrb- , instead keep call at my home , obviously do not get hold of I . overall delay in delivery ... give I less time to install and test entire set up . anyway work fantastic ! smooth motor operation . have not test remote yet , but should be fine . Works great with projector optoma hd20 which I buy along with this screen . -lcb- I have issue with ONKYO S7300 7.1 channel surround sound I buy ; return it to Amazon and wait for refund on that . Separately put review on that product -rcb- the maker FAVI can do better job in communicate and track link etc. . I see that they be do better already by now add the installation guideline , picture and dimension . great product , just need to improve operation and support . - Atul Choudhary +897 Projector NEG 1 ok , this be not a projector for a office , a classroom , and definitely not for a die-hard videophile for they home theater . the `` pt '' in the pt100 stand for playtime , remember that . but , for shear fun , you can not beat the bang for you $ $ $ fun factor you get from this projector ! I have it set up in my basement project onto a 80 '' projector screen with it connect to a old surround sound system for a very inexpensive but awesome movie theater-like experience ! it easily connect to my Wii -lrb- pretty much design for a Wii since it be not hd -rrb- with the one yellow composite video cable to my Wii and the two audio cable go to my receiver . the movie I stream through Netflix look really good and the surround sound make it all the better for the full theater experience . with all the light turn off , it look awesome ! -lrb- light , even small one , quickly degrade and washout the picture -rrb- . warning : do not bother use the projector 's internal speaker since it be horrible . also , forget about use this in a room with window , sunlight will make the picture impossible to see . for these reason , DO NOT BUY THIS PROJECTOR if you do not plan on USING IT for GAMES or MOVIES in a very dark room with external speaker ! if I have plan to use this in a room with any ambient light and without surround sound or for actually want to be able to read fine print such as use it for a computer monitor , I would have be totally unhappy . overall , buy this for family fun in you basement . this be not a replacement for you tv in you family room but it be well worth the money if use within its limitation . Update : after 9 month half the pixel die . the lamp may last but the lcd display die and you end up with a doorstop instead of a projector . +855 Projector POS 5 preface : I have little experience with projector , this be my first one . I have little experience with 3d , this be my first device . I purchase this projector purely for gaming . pair up with a set of NVIDIA 3D Vision Glasses kit w\/starccraft ii my current setup have the projector 10 foot away from the screen , upside down on a shelf 80 '' up the wall point at the opposite wall 10 foot away . the projector throw a 78 '' screen at that distance and each pixel come out crystal clear . I craft a screen from 2 yard of 53 '' blackout material and some 1 x 2 for a frame and hang it on the far wall for under $ 20 . to play my game I be sit behind a table 5 foot from this huge screen and it fill my vision not unlike a imax movie would . I spend the first hour with it on just wander around in Skyrim look at the most mundane thing in awe . here be a list of comment I make `` WOW '' `` Whoa '' `` oh my god '' `` that wolf chew on I look awesome ! '' `` I can see right through that skeleton '' `` I can feel the ice in this cave '' `` why would anyone play this game any other way '' `` I must not cry , it 'll short out the 3d glass '' those who be concern about the low resolution for gaming , it be not a issue for 3d mode . the way the shutter glass work , each pixel get use by you eye twice except at screen depth create a much richer screen . the lower resolution also mean that you 'll be able to crank up all of the setting in whatever game you be play with no loss of performance . with a Gigabyte nVidia GeForce gts450 1 gb ddr3 2DVI\/Mini HDMI PCI-Express Video Card gv-n450d3-1gus because dlp be so fast , the 3d effect have zero ghost , allow you eye to focus much better than with most of the lcd monitor I have see . use a small 3d monitor also cause something I have hear describe as `` toyification '' where the size of the figure on the screen become diminutive because of the perception of size that accompany the 3d effect . with the convergence setting the huge screen allow I to use , in Skyrim 3rd person view , my character be sit within arm reach of I and the first 10 foot of the world be in the office with I fill my view . I literally feel the ground move under I . the projector can really throw a screen on just about any reasonably flat surface and the auto keystone will give you something square . the picture , however , be not ideal due to the way it use anti-aliasing to get there . the result be muddy text and it create a candy cane effect on all vertical line . I spend a great deal of time get the projector to be at just the right height and perfectly square to the screen to make sure I do not have to use the keystone feature . benefit : 3d Vision Ready Bright beautiful image Easy setup truly epic gaming potential problem : DLP Lamp will eventually die much earlier than a monitor get just the right height and angle to the screen find little desire to interact with the real world +268 Projector POS 4 have mine for about a month . very small and light . fit in a small bag with my ipad . Picture quality be great , especially when project onto a white -lrb- non-glossy -rrb- surface . I usually project the image on my ceiling so I can watch movie from bed . I hook up my small hamburger speaker to the speaker out port , and use the usb port on the projector to charge the speaker at the same time . although I have see review which claim that the unit support component or ypbpr video , I have never be able to get it to work with a VGA to component dongle . this lead I to believe that the unit only output RGB via the VGA dongle . I hope a future firmware update resolve this . in the meantime , you can get a cheap component to VGA box , which work , but the image be not as sharp . its a shame that the unit do not come with a hdmus port . to remedy this , I buy a hdfuryius dongle to convert HDMI signal to VGA -lrb- RGB & YPbPr -rrb- . I have be able to connect my PS3 and dvd player to the sp-h03 and the picture quality be so much better than use a VGA box . the hdfuryius also come with a GammaX adapter , which provide manual gamma control , and help bring out detail in dark area . a tip to those who plan to use a hdfury or hdfuryius with this projector -- you can use the usb port on the projector to supply the 5v 500ma require by the hdfuryius dongle . once the hdfuryius be power on this way , you can connect the GammaX dongle without need to power it . the media player software on the sp-h03 be a mixed bag . on one hand it support a lot of video and document format . however , there seem to be a 2gb file size limit lastly , this baby badly need a remote control . +518 Projector POS 5 I be use Optoma hd66 for last one month and very happy about the performance and quality . I purchase this one after very long search of best price and performance . now I thing I make the correct choose . highly recommend +989 Projector POS 5 install be a snap ! we have a previous projector mount that be not universal , and need to replace it due to the projector die . stick this universal one in its place , and it work . come with many part for 4 different type of protector fitting either 3 or 4 screw . the color match we ceiling , so it just blend seamlessly . +517 Projector POS 5 I receive this projector for Christmas and I be utterly blow away . the disclaimer be that I have long be a fan of projector and we have the excellent Panasonic pt-ae700u , a spectacular home projector which be incredibly well-received when it debut a few year back . that say , I do not expect anything too remarkable from something 1\/4 the price of my home projector and 1\/20th the size ... but , boy be I wrong ! a few thing about this unit : First , it be about the size of a iPhone and that include the battery . this be absolutely incredible and show it to people , they say : `` where be the rest of it ?! '' second , unlike my home theater projector , this use laser technology so it be always in perfect focus . let I repeat that : it be ALWAYS in PERFECT FOCUS . this be mind-numbingly cool and be a game-changer in and of itself ! focus be one of those thing that you fiddle with almost every time you start the projector , but here it be always perfect . amazing ! next , because of the laser , there be no bulb to burn out -- a expensive and annoying feature of traditional projector . so , in theory , this be a astounding piece of technology , but what about the image quality ? well , I be delighted to report that it be superb ! Crisp , clear , with eye-popping color and very good resolution . it also fortunately look great with video , with a rapid response that really look perfect . what be the negative ? well there be two : the first be that it be bright but could be brighter . in a dark room , it look amazing , even project to over 100 inch on the ceiling ! but if there be some ambient light , it get fade fast at larger size . that say , keep a small and concentrated image -- say 30 or 40 inch , it look pretty great and would be a much better way to show photo , video or slide than on you phone or even iPad . the second be that the resolution be really good , but not quite as sharp as a home projector . give the source material -lrb- phone and even ipad -rrb- , however , this work out well . I be think that this be the direction thing will go . with low price like these already , and with increase brightness each iteration , I be wonder when these will replace lcd and plasma tv -- I think it really be just a matter of time . for now , this be a incredible unit for anyone who need to present to small group on the go : sale folk , executive , and even teacher for smaller group . for just a few hundred dollar , you be a totally self-contained av service . this be go to make a very big splash , I think . +300 Projector POS 5 just get this unit have be use a infocus x1 follow that up with a x2 but still miss the clarity and color I want in satellite tv viewing as well as dvd and VCR view . the optoma 719 upgrade my x2 from 800 x 600 up to a eye pop 780P\/1024 x 768 resolution that be nothing less than spectacular video viewing . I use a flat wall surface prepared and paint with `` Screen Goo '' -lrb- tm -rrb- and that be it . the room be light by one 25 watt -lrb- fridge -rrb- light bulb , provide plenty of light to still move around in a room area roughly 14 ' x 25 ' located in a basement area with window block . this be better than the movie theater . the color and clarity , resoultion of this projector with the new Texas Instruments DLP dark chip 2 be incredible for the same price as a much lesser resolution x1 or x2 from InFocus . do not get I wrong I really enjoy my x2 projector and it be great for gaming but for the serious dvd\/tv in hd viewer you can not do much better than this . contrast ration be fantastic as well as amount of lumen for the buck . the thing be so light weight that I be timid take it out of the box . this be a great bargin in a time when auto fuel be a king ' ransom . +747 Projector POS 5 my title say it all . this projector be the only one you 'll need if you be anything like I and do not need a hdmus input to increase the quality ever so slightly . this projector be practical and affordable . the image quality be superb . I highly recommend this product to anyone shopping around for the best value on a projector . +476 Projector POS 5 impression upon open the box , I be very impressed with the weight , size and look of this projector . it be very small , yet have a nice quality look and feel . the monster battery pack give it a heavy , but not-too-heavy feel . there be a nice selection of accessory in the box , include a ac adapter , composite video cable , VGA cable with audio plug , triple rca female to female adapter and a Apple adapter -lrb- although this may not be include normally -rrb- . I have in mind when testing that this be not a 2500 luman projector nor be it to be rate base on its comparison with one . feature the battery feature be just awesome . no regular projector can do that ! it do have a small kickstand that tilt it up slightly , but also have a mini flexible three-legged tripod to make it easy to manage steeper angle or uneven surface . -lrb- it have a universal tripod screw hole , so any tripod would do . -rrb- it have a speaker inside -lrb- 0.75 watt to be exact -rrb- . input keep in mind that the input be analog , so no input hdmus , DVI or DisplayPort without downgrade it first to analog with equipment . you device must have a analog output . out-of-the-box it can do a analog VGA jack from a computer and a plain yellow rca composite video input . many device like dvd player , comcorder and the iphone\/ipad can do analog video out today , but new device like many android smartphone and flip cam do digital only , so be careful . here be the other cable that be available : 3M Pocket Projector MP160\/MP180 Cable for iPad , iPod , iTouch this be the ideal situation for this projector . in this scenario , it look great . it have all the brightness you need to show you family video or picture . I then try it at nighttime , but with light on . while it be not terrific , it be still viewable for picture or video , especially if I keep it within 6 foot of the wall -lrb- thereby limit the picture size -rrb- . the same go for daytime while block some ambient outside light -- it be not bad view photo and video . a high contrast powerpoint presentation , on the other hand , look good in each circumstance . testing device first I test it with my iPhone 4 . I could not quite get the connector to plug into the phone with my case on -lrb- although I can get it to work if I do not move they too much -rrb- , so I put it in my wife 's iPhone 4 . it do what Apple allow the a\/v adapter to do -- play a photo slideshow , play video , YouTube and a few other thing . next I follow 3M 's recommendation and try the Apple iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter -lrb- mc552zm\/b -rrb- a few time I have to fiddle with unplug and replugg , but it do do mirroring with the ipad 2 and iPhone 4 . however , there be a strange flickering every few seconds that make it unusable with both device . I try with a composite video adapter from the ipad 2 , but it do not do mirroring with that cable . I next try my laptop with the VGA adapter . I put the computer into presentation mode and the projector take the 1280x768 resolution and it display it well . the image be stretch vertically since that be not the native resolution . I find that PowerPoint presentation , picture and video look good just like this . however , any fine text be too blurry to read . I pull the resolution to 800x600 and it look perfect ! so , that make this just like many of the under $ 500 full size projector on the market -- 800x600 natively and it adapt higher resolution down to that level . here be the resolution it can downscale itself : 1024x768 , 1280x768 , 1280x960 , 1440x900 -lrb- and 640x480 , 800x600 -rrb- plus three Mac resolution . next , I try a dvd player , which work great , since the dvd player have a composite video jack -lrb- remember , no digital input on the projector -rrb- . as for the audio , it sound like a small and tinny speaker -lrb- because it be -rrb- and sound much worse than my laptop 's speaker , but sound similar to a smartphone . just like the 32 luman brightness , this be design for a small audience of a few people , so the speaker do its job . battery i run a test and allow a iPhone to run through a slideshow of picture and video , which a small amount of time take by video with audio go through the speaker . it be able to make it for two hour , and I be very impressed . OVERALL if you get a full understanding upfront of what this can do and what it can not do , I would recommend it . +288 Projector POS 4 package description do not specify that ipod cable be optional . and after get the item , the manual describe iPod cable be option . however , have hard time to find a `` optional '' ipod cable for this Qumi anywhere . just check all Asia sale site . all of this item come with ipod cable . too much cost saving ? advertise iPod support , but do not mention the cable be optional . and I be willing to `` add the cable to the shopping cart . '' except I can not find the cable list anywhere near the item , suggest link , customer who buy this also bough block . now I get to go to some store to actually find a cable . Manufacturing site mention nothing about any optional cable ... +781 Projector POS 5 we have have we Ben-Q for over 4 year . we have not have one ioda of problem with it . we have use one lamp and will soon buy a new one . thanks to Projector-People there be no surprise . would buy Ben-Q again . Debra +197 Projector POS 4 pro : they really pack a lot into a little package . come with a battery that really last , I have use it for over two hour and still have charge leave over . build in speaker be good enough if you be sit close to the projector . it have four different video input , headphone output , microsd slot , media player , it be quite a capable little toy . Enough light to be fine in a dark room . emit no mechanical sound -lrb- unless you put you ear to it -rrb- . respectable contrast ratio -lrb- 1000:1 -rrb- accord to TI 's website . it be a marked improvement from the 350:1 projector I have be use for my home theater for year . con : at the farthest distance , the optics be not good enough to keep the whole picture in perfect focus , you can choose either the left side or right side to be in focus , although if you be sit far enough back you do not really notice , it be only when you walk up to the screen and see the individual pixel that you notice one side be blurry . Wish there be color correction build into the software , mine emit too much red . that be not a problem if you video source have color correction , but if it do not -lrb- my apple tv -rrb- you be just gonna have to deal . convert media to play off the sd card be annoy before I get the setting right , there be nothing in the manual . it like mpeg-4 , with a mp4 file suffix -lrb- not m4v -rrb- a h264 video encoding , aac audio and a resolution 854 x 480 or lower . conclusion : if you want something to enjoy standard def movie or a presentation in a dark room this be for you . if you want something that can be see in daylight or hd , or bigger than 60 '' screen keep look . +731 Projector NEG 1 this projector do not work properly and the vendor do not respond to inquiry . the product do not come with complete warranty information or address for service . there be no contact information for the manufacturer . you be better off with a name brand and\/or local vendor . +955 Projector POS 4 I have have this for over two month now . the picture be a little lighter than I would like during the day -lrb- we have big window in the house -rrb- , but in the evening it look spectacular . we just project onto a white wall and it feel like we be in a movie theater . the volume be adequate for we living room , but it could have be a little louder . I also like that you can just insert a dvd and it power on by itself . this have make watch movie much more enjoyable , and it look better than the more expensive tv of friend that I have see because the picture be larger . I would give it 5 star if this be the whole story . the other day , it start make a beeping noise . another reviewer complain about this . it beep incessantly , like one beep every three seconds , and it be loud enough that it effect the audio . right now other people be in my living room watch a movie that I want to watch that I absolutely can not watch because the beeping be on my nerve . I be try to watch it on instant view on Netflix via the computer . I have do this before without a problem . one of the reason for get this projector be that we could hook the laptop up to it and project . it be work great for picture thus far . but it be beep the other day with the laptop , and it be beep today . so far , I have not notice beep with a regular dvd , but it do beep when a camera be hook up to it . this absolutely should not happen to technology this sophisticated . it sound very similar to the beeping that happen when the power be turn off and on . what a terrible idea to begin with . why create a machine that can beep at all in the first place ? it beep once it be turn on . it be not do it as some kind of warning , or because it be too hot . it have rest for over 24 hour . it be do it because there be a flaw in the machine itself . I be go to find my warranty and either get this replace , fix or return . it be really a shame because it be a cost-effective and nice machine otherwise . why give thing the capacity to beep that do not need to beep ? update : the next time I use it with the computer , it do not beep at first , but I have to stop it for something , and then it start beep again . I let it rest for about five day before watch another film via Netflix , and even some youtube astronomy video -lrb- which look beautiful by the way -rrb- and I do not have any beeping problem . I hope the beeping disappear , and I will call customer service if happen again . overall , I love the thing , assume that the beeping problem can be take care of . second update : still beep over a month later . consistently . I be extremely disappointed . final UPDATE : thanks to a great two year warranty , I be able to get the problem fix . they replace the light , and it seem to be work fine . they say that this problem be a rarity . +367 Projector NEG 1 I love this alarm . the wake up be soft and gentle . I use the attach flash light a couple of time when the electricity fail . then , it just stop work . too late to return . I now have a flashlight that cost close to $ 40 . +259 Projector NEG 2 save you money and get a better projector . even for kid you could get a cheap chinese model from ebay for about the same price that be much brighter . +355 Projector POS 4 we have a guest speaker for we monthly meeting and the projector she bring would not work . this new one be bring in to hopefully save the program . it be set up in no time and do the job ! we be so pleased with the quality and ease that we say , `` it be a keeper ! '' +55 Projector NEU 3 I buy my x2 in June of 2004 . it have a good picture , and I like the projector for ease of use . however , after 1.5 year , and 700 hour , the bulb blow . I be disappointed , but figure the bulb blow less than half its estimate life be just bad luck . I pay $ 300 and get a new bulb . it just blow on I after less than 500 hour . for the price they charge , they need to stand behind they bulb ! a 90 warranty ? be you kid I !? if they can not give they customer more than 90 day on a $ 300 bulb , they should lose they customer . I will never buy Infocus again ! oh , and in case anyone be wonder , I never move my projector around or miss treat it . I also always let the fan run for hour after I use the projector to make sure the bulb be cool completely . +772 Projector POS 5 OMG !!!! that be all I can say ! this be the best projector I have ever use ! I be a teacher and where I teach , they use the Epilson . it be a great projector but very pricely . I have read all of the other review because I be skepitical about buy a product without ue a demonstration . this projector be not only affordable but be great ! I laugh at the comment that say if you do not like high quality brightness -lrb- or something like that -rrb- this be not for you . well he be right ! this projector be so bright and colorful that you can watch it with the light on . it just need minor adjustment . I be soooooo glad I do not purchase a flat screen television or a big screen television . it be such a waste of money . I still have mine from 10 year ago that still work great . I do not use it now . I connect the Vivitek to my cable wire and watch cable tv , it be connect to my dvd player for movie , and I highly recommend it for the new Xbox kinect usage !!! awesome !!!!!!!!! the only problem be ... it get hot and the fan can be loud for a short period of time . if you have the stereo surround system , then do not worry , the volume will override the noise . that be it !!! buy it and enjoy it ! +744 Projector POS 4 I actually have work with EPSON unit with similar specification to the vs315w with regard to input and output , and find this a very comfortable personal fit . if I be to gauge the market for this I would push it toward people who be not early adopter and probably be use 3 or 4 year old computer , dvd player -lrb- heck , even VHS player -rrb- , and do not depend upon high quality sound . people with older equipment -lrb- I -rrb- will like this projector most . VGA video input and display be excellent . rca cable audio\/video input be excellent video , audio not so awesome . usb audio\/video input work , but be overall inferior . hdmus input ? not a issue for I . if you need it , do not get this box . the sound quality through the projector be mediocre which should not be a surprise for any projector of this class . the video be not for cinephile , but if you do not push the projection distance or the room lighting , the video quality can be excellent . set up for optimal distance and lighting be something that be almost only resolve in the specific environment where the equipment be use . my requirement be old school - primarily be able to use VGA to VGA for video input , or to use rca cable for audio\/video input -lrb- primarily video -rrb- . about the only time I would use the build in sound be when I be test something , or in a emergency when I do not have time to set up as I wish . the vs315w 's speaker be serviceable , but in the same way that a lot of laptop and tablet speaker be serviceable . best use in intimate setting , you will hear the sound , you will not be impress . even though it be market for its portability and easy set up and play , this be not my first choice as a stand alone . my one test with the usb input be quite unimpressive . the driver install on laptop easily , and it hook up easily . static video display -lrb- slide -rrb- be fine , but motion can be `` iffy . '' sound be actually similar to the other hookup , but with such crummy video I be not sure that matter . I also set up this unit in these two way : 1 -rrb- hook up video with VGA to VGA cable to 4 year old Dell Inspiron laptop . screen be about 20 foot from projector in a `` medium '' light room . for sound in this scenario I just run a small sound out patch cable from the Inspiron into a separate boombox and use that for my portable speaker . I have find very few projector have any decent sound . you would be surprised how use a portable sound system with nice speaker can enhance the video experience . anyway , follow by a little tweaking use the vs315w 's pretty standard menu system , and rely on the excellent automatic anti-keystoning feature -lrb- plus I love the manual keystone control button located conveniently on top of unit -rrb- I have a excellent 1280 x 800 wxga image project in a couple of minute . I run some dvd video through my pc and notice some jaggedness and some color problem - the fancier the video -lrb- e.g. , Transformers -rrb- the worse the performance . animated film come across beautifully , but they do have simpler color pallet and less demand on motion . the one powerpoint presentation I use have no true video , but quite a few animation which display to perfection . 2 -rrb- hook up video and audio with rca cable from my $ 20 Memorex dvd player . Video and sound be almost exactly as above . again , I prefer external speaker so I detach the white\/red rca sound connection and run the dvd player 's sound through my boombox again . obviously , none of this be the portability be market -lrb- carry around a dvd player or laptop , with extra boombox and this projector -rrb- . I give this four out of five star because it do what it say it do it within the publish specification . one star be knock off because the one fairly unique feature , the usb plug and play , do not seem to be ready for prime time yet . I 'll personally be use this primarily for in-office presentation in the configuration describe above . +70 Projector POS 4 this projector be definitely the one you want if you be look for one that be affordable , light and convenient . I be a teacher and I love this because it be so easy to set up and use and the display be clear and just like that of those other big and bulky projector . I can actually carry this one in my bag without any hassle . it be compact , and do not need to rear up , do not overheat ... I just can not say enough . . I love it ! I love it ! I love it ! the only reason why I give it 4 star be because of the tripod stand ... due to the imbalance weight , set off by the cord on one side . . the tripod keep fall . so I simply just do not use it and prop it up on book instead . my son first birthday be come up and I intend to use it to project picture at he party . it be so small and light weight ... they would not even know it be there . -lrb- smiley face -rrb- do I say I love this projector !!! well I do ! definitely a good buy for half the price !! +203 Projector NEU 3 if you want a great mount that CAN get that IMAGE ZERO 'D in and hold it be position , THIS be NOT the product . for the money , it be fine . you just have to work at it get that IMAGE SET ON SCREEN WITHOUT USING `` KEYSTONE '' CORRECTION . the BIGGEST ISSUE be `` HOLDING '' it be position . require ` SLIGHT ' RE-POSITIONING EVERY FEW day . no BIG DEAL when you consider it be ` very ' INEXPENSIVE . +666 Projector POS 5 por el precio que he pagado , esta es una excelente maquina . muy amigable y facil de instalar y operar . La calidad de video e excelente y con una fuente de calidad y un buen cable HDMI la diferencia con mi antiguo proyector es notable . Tambien e muy satisfactorio haber echo la compra en Amazon , puesto que pague menos de la mitad del valor que cobran en mi pais . -lrb- Chile -rrb- muy recomendable para una peque & ntilde ; a y\/o mediana sala de cine o de juego casera . +390 Projector POS 5 I love my x2 . i use it for power point presentation and also have watch a movie use the x2 . I do research before my purchase and have never have any problem . +417 Projector POS 5 great value . excellent flexibility . very good resolution . everything you would want from a small hd projector . +623 Projector POS 5 it be a bulb . it do what it be suppose to in a projector and that be make a awesome picture . the real test be to see if it last for the advertised 3000 hr on the economy setting . that should take make I over a year to find out . but so far so good . +433 Projector NEG 2 I buy this model 4 year ago for my computer lab . from the very start I have trouble . the project image flicker and jump . I call right away and they replace my lamp for free . for the next 2 year it work sporadically . it would not come on the first time I turn it on , sometimes I have to unplug it . I call several time and be give the run around . finally a notice to extend my warrenty come . I extend it and call again . I be tell it be certainly because the lamp be get near the end of it be 1000-2000 hour -lrb- big difference , eh ? -rrb- . I explain there be no way it have be use for that many hour , and the tech support guy argue with I . I give up argue and try one of the thing he say -lrb- take out the lamp and remove the dust -rrb- . after that , it work consistantly . -lrb- when I could finally get it to work , I check the lamp hour ... it have run for 238 , no where near 1000 -rrb- . I think I be home free . I use it today and it be on for about a hour plus . I be away from it work on a computer when I hear a loud bang . I look up and the screen be blank . the darn lamp explode ! I hate to give up on InFocus all together , but I may have to . +213 Projector NEG 1 I have to drastically modify my review , go from four star to zero . you believe you be save money , but what you be get be a projector that will start , sooner or later , to lose pixel , to the point it be no longer usable . it be a shame that such a inferior product be on the market . +6 Projector POS 4 wassup people ! I have be search amazon for month to buy I a projector on my bday . go thru 100 of projector , compare each of they attribute on external site , and then finally decide to go for this model . here be what i feel about this proj : 1 . no setup require . plug n Play . 2 . the warm color project by this be a.w.e.s.o.m.e 3 . contrast could have be a lil higher -lrb- though in this range , this model have the best among other proj , cept 1161p which have 4000:1 -rrb- 4 .

I send a email for help to optoma and they dont help I +641 Projector POS 4 I add this as a second projector in we church basement . note that there be no way to adjust the picture size other than to move the projector itself . it do work like advertise , and have a good picture , -lrb- you may need to darken the room if you be go to use it in the daytime -rrb- and even have built-in speaker . I try it first , and then opt to run plain 50 foot stereo cable with rca type plug , not video cable , and the picture be still very good . the direction booklet that come with it be 99 % useless . -lrb- example : when use the remoter . -rrb- the shipper could not locate my house , even though we have have hundred , if not thousand of delivery use the same address . the seller find out what the holdup be on the delivery , and be very helpful . all in all , I would buy another one or recommend this to anyone else - with the note above . +117 Projector POS 5 this be a well make product that have excellent instruction and quality material . we be able to install this on a metal frame and it be very sturdy . it adjust to be perfectly line up with the screen . we have to remove it and then use it for another location and it be easy to remove the mount and replace it . customer service at Vantage Point be very responsive via email and help I get a extension via fedex ground in 3 day . I be very glad I find this company and product and have recommend this mount to friend who have projector . we have a Optima hd65 and it fit perfectly . +372 Projector POS 5 I have be save my money for a long time to buy a widescreen hd projector . I start with a sharp office projector and upgrade to my previous setup which be a XGA Epson Powerlite 130c because my other one just didnt have enough lumen . my old Epson powerlite be almost as bright as this one , but it be great because it be 2200 lumen and i could watch it in the daytime . well I buy this one for the same reason pro : it do exactly what its suppose to , which be to deliver my high def gaming and stream Hulu and Blu ray from my Girlfriends laptop . I pair mine up with a 11 ' 16:9 matte Da-Lite projector screen and it look gorgeous all day all night . I really like how much you can zoom you picture size so i can watch all aspect ratio without move it from its ceiling mount that i buy from amazon for 30 buck . I do not know what the guy on the bottom of the screen be talk about because I love how detailed and lush everything look even with all my light on and window open in the middle of the day . I would recommend this projector to anyone especially for people who be tire of watch they projector in a cave . these day I need the best of both world for high contrast Cinema and high brightness gaming and this unit deliver . con : i notice a slight `` screen door '' affect but every pixel be fill with color and light so I cant complain compare to the other projector i send back . +770 Projector POS 5 when I first get this product , I think it be not work , because I have not adjust the lens . of course I feel like a idiot when I do , but I also feel like I be on top of the world when I do , too . the clarity of this projector be second to none . if it be hd ready , you can plug up to it which be the simplest way . I hook up my Mac Mini and my Sony to it , and after a little over a month of usage , I still can not believe how vibrant the picture be . plus , in the simplest form of the concept of a projector , you do not need to lug around a T.V. All you need be a wall . bulb life I have not see yet , but it seem to be pretty nice , because it 'll sleep itself the same time you computer sleep itself with no screensaver and I can leave it on over a two day weekend and have no problem with it . like it , love it , want some more of it . on the other side of thing , I have now become addict to hi-def , so if it be not hi-def , it 'll show on this projector all the little detail and pixellation , but that be completely the fault of the quality of video or medium be show . however , if it be hd , get ready for a wild ride ! Ideal for anyone start up or want a home theater . Optoma , you have certainly win I over . buy it !!! +271 Projector POS 5 I have purchase this projector with the accuscreen 85 '' diagonal 1:1 portable tripod screen and the ultra 300hi 24k hdmus cable , for the follow use , 1 . for display my pc for audio production and engineering purpose , this be vital to be able to see without strain especially when you look at fader on a mixer or when you be fine tuning you sound with eq . the quality this projector produce be unbelievable for the price . 2 . gaming , I be also a heavy ps3 gamer and this projector with the native resolution at 720p and the capability of the 1080p signal support , result in a true `` you have to be there '' experience . 3 . home theater , watch movie or netflix on this projector be just amazing . the clarity of the picture match with the vibrant color with the on board brilliant color option be amazing . you can fine tune red , blue , green , cyan , magenta , yellow and white give you the flexibility of create you own personal high definition view experience . out the box the preset color option be spot on , now i do have a slight problem with the red only from image that be high resolution , such as the light from a stop light in a movie would cast a shadow onto other object , but i resolve that issue by tuning the red color saturation . this projector be compact , quiet , durable , and efficient . I have run this projector for hour on end since i recieve it and it have not shut off or overheate . hand down the best investment i have make in a long time , with the flexibility of increase the image size base on the space you have and the image quality , you cant go wrong . why pigeon whole yourself to a fix size of a lead or lcd flatscreen , for the price of a decent 32-42in flat screen you can have this amazing projector that will have you , you family , and you friend beg for another movie or game to be play . absolutley incredible for the price ! +212 Projector POS 5 this projector be great I pay 35 dollar and it be not hd but I like it . I buy it to watch movie and play game and it be worth 35 dollar +567 Projector POS 5 Yamaha be a great company when it come to sound . I have 2 very fussy music teacher in we family , my son and wife . surround sound with many box may be overkill . I think it be false to have something go bump on one side and instead of the sound be beside the screen ... it be unrealistically beside you arm . the Yamaha have a method of study you room for reflective surface , and you actually must leave the room for it to do so . I have the subwoofer behind the tv with the omni-directional bass sound . we be happy and that be incredible for these sharp musician . look no further ... lot of box be just awkward , false impression and a mess to place they . this be light , thin and blend with the tv styling and coloring . no need to improve this model in the near future , either . +679 Projector POS 5 excellent hardware . allow for easy removal without unscrew it from the ceiling . work great for the Epson 8350 ! buy this mount without hesitation . very rigid and high quality ! +856 Projector POS 4 I open the box and hook it up to my macbook pro . it be a very good , clear picture and will work fantastic for presentation . no brain need to get it work +797 Projector NEG 1 try to use this projector this week to put a slideshow onto a wall at a trade show . turn off all spot light in the stand and the hall be not very brightly light ; even so , most of the slide be not readable as the projector be just too weak of a output . not suitable for this application . it might work in a totally dark room but be not usable when there be even a small amount of ambient light . +738 Projector NEU 3 the miniaturization of technology be amazing . with ipod and cell phone and netbook I have always have way to show neat stuff , but generally one at a time . nobody like to squint over a tiny screen or deal with view angle . something small and battery power that I can just stow in my bag and project on any wall would be pretty great . unfortunately , this just do that and do not quite seem to be as magical as the pr make it out to be . as far as control and circuit logic go , it be pretty plain . just a stand-by screen wait for input , volume up and down , mute , battery check , and off . no color adjustment . no 16:9 \/ 4:3 toggle . no high-power mode when plug through ac . I know it be small , but even a simple color adjustment could maximize the range of non-ideal surface you can confidently project onto . the image itself be fair quality ... even though this 2010 model have double the brightness of the earlier 3M model , you still really can not consider use this in a light room . that `` whether you be in a cafe . . or conference room '' really be a bit of a stretch since the cafe be not go to let you turn out the light . one real annoying bit about the display be the rainbow effect that drive I crazy from early dlp television . newer revision be fast enough to minimize it , but the red\/green\/blue flicker be quite obvious with this . I would say that rule out most movement-heavy video source , relegate it to the world of Powerpoints and camera shot . for those thing it should do fine : the standby screen give a nice big `` 3M '' logo in the center and you could use that for a focus reference . as the machine stay on and heat up , though , it seem to lose focus a bit and it then become a little more difficult to readjust because the focus dial be now hot . last part about the image quality : you should know it be a 800x600 display , so , even though you could , in theory , hook up a 1080i or 1280x960 wxga source , it be all gonna get scale down to 800x600 anyway . ye shall find no forgiveness for small font . Audio be another let down . the volume adjust only have 4 level so there be not too much control over it . and even at it be highest it barely exceed the noise of the cooling fan . while it be nice it have a headphone port for more substantial audio setup , I would not see why you would route it through the projector unless you be force to -lrb- by use hdmus or a dedicated ipod cable -rrb- . now the stuff that do not matter quite so much . it come with a lot of goody . it come with a flex minus tripod with a standard mount post , which mean not only can you mount the projector on any standard tripod , you can also put anything on this mini-tripod . it also have a fold-down kickstand to raise it , so , it seem like a duplicated accessory . you get ton of plug adapter which be nice , a composite cable with gender adapter for each cable , and a VGA cable with audio tail . the connection be flexible but I much would have rather have real port on the side . there be room enough for composite , component , hdmus , and a 1:1 ipod cable . it would not be neat and it would be scatter all around each edge , but at least I would not have to carry a additional bushel of cable for device I might want to plug in . round up the accessory be a little carry case that fit it just perfectly . unfortunately , with the extra stuff you 'll have to carry around , the utility of a carry case that just fit the projector be a bit silly . I would have be fine with just a snug little lens cap . I think they include all this stuff because after be a little disappointed with what you get you might not want to throw more money at it for adapter and cable . look , I understand it be a pocket projector , but really I do not think the technology be there yet . seem the biggest limit factor of the technology be the battery with a leisurely 2800 mAh . if it simply have more juice then they can crank up the brightness , color cycling frequency -lrb- less rainbow -rrb- , and audio . it take 3 hour to charge but last only 2 while operational . all this put together a ho-hum product that will put off my fantasy of a impromptu drive-in movie date on the side of a tractor trailer in a parking lot for perhaps another 5 year . +884 Projector POS 5 this be my first projector . all I can say be wow . I use this projector for everything . it be my computer monitor and my tv . I go from a 28 '' lcd computer monitor that I be happy with to this projector which I be thrill with . there be nothing like play a game and fight a 6 ' troll that be actually 6 ' on the screen ! my big concern with buy a projector be clarity and screen refresh rate . dvd , blu-ray , Netflix all show clear and beautiful . fp and online rpg like WOW and eq2 be all clear and smooth . there be no bluring , artifact , or lag from this projector . the bad ... black level . they be not terrible but at some time the dark or black area be a little wash out . this be in a totally dark room . it be also be project on super-white photo paper -lrb- diy screen -rrb- . for the lower cost of this projector and the longer bulb life I can easily live with this . also , text be sometimes a little blury . not a lot , just a tiny pinch . but it may not be the projector . clean the lens with proper lens cleaner clear some of it and I may need to look into a new screen or tighten my current one -lrb- it seem to be a bit difficult to get the DIY paper screen perfectly sag and wrinkle free -rrb- over all I love this projector . UPDATE : after 1044 hour on the bulb -lrb- 9 month -rrb- it go dim for a day then go out with a pop . Epson be easy to contact . I send they a email . the next day they send I a email ask specific question , one of which be my address . two day later I have a new bulb . Free of hastle , Free of charge . +710 Projector NEU 3 I have own this projector for about 2 year now and I keep it in the family room where it be use daily . like other have post , it be a excellent projector ... until that noise kick in . we be decide whether or not to pay $ 350 for it to be fix by we local service dealer or to buy a new hdtv . I would say , if you buy a Infocus projector , get the x2 since this be not manufacture anymore . that say , image quality be quite good , especially hd . for computer , it only go up to 1024x768 . when it be work , it `` wow '' would anyone who see it and be a awesome addition to the home theater . +473 Projector POS 5 first , for home theater use , I would give this projector 4 star . I give it 5 as this be a business projector , and should not be penalize for not have home theater feature . I be very happy with this item . out of the box , the color be a mess . this , again , may be because it be not calibrate as a home theater projector . I highly suggest use the Avia video calibration dvd -lrb- with color filter to look through -rrb- . it take I 5 minute , and the color be more natural than any of my CRT tv ! in high power mode , I can watch tv show during the day with my blind close . movie be a bit hard to watch . once the sun be no longer on that side of my house , it work great . at night , I can watch a movie in low power mode -lrb- and the fan be very quiet -rrb- , but I prefer the regular mode as color look more vibrant with that extra boost . I sit with my head about 12 inch from the projector , so I can hear the fan , but it be not noticeable with sound system speaker at a decent volume . as state in a prior review , the image be 4:3 . if you do not have a 4:3 screen , 4:3 image wont fit . not the projector 's fault . my biggest concern be the connection , which again be due to this not actually be a home theater projector . for the best image , you need to use a component connection . as state in a prior review , a adapter must be purchase separately to connect component through the VGA port . this be not specify on the spec sheet where I buy this item , and the box itself have no info about the spec . one other thing to note ... I have read that the color wheel on business projector be different than on home theater projector . I be not familiar enough with this to comment , but this be something prospective buyer may want to look into . overall , I be very happy with this item . 5\/5 as a overall product , 4\/5 as a home theater projector . +314 Projector NEU 3 I purchase this unit with the intention of diplay Karaoke word on a screen at my karaoke show . the unit seem to work fine but the display be very small compare to other projector . it seem like you have to put this unit about 10-12 foot away just so you can get to a normal project size screen . I be return the unit because I will not always have that much space to use it in . +699 Projector NEG 2 I purchase this mount for my epson 8350 despite conflict review if it would fit . I find a YouTube video describe how to add in extra hardware to make it work for my model . while the mount do in fact support the projector it be not strong enough to hold the projector level . I find that every couple day the projector image would drift a few inch down toward the left . after continually straighten the projector and re-tightening I notice that the cheap quality metal be actually bend the projector mount . for a smaller projector this mount just might do the trick but for the Epson 8350 or any projector of similar size I would invest in a higher quality mount . I switch mine out for a chief mount and be amaze in the difference in quality and design . while I do recommend chief as a alternative I would not have be willing to pay up for the chief brand have I not spend 10 hour mount and re - adjust my projector with this mount . +898 Projector POS 5 do not get I wrong , there be room for improvement but for the price tag this little projector deliver . let 's start with the sound , I agree this projector do not have audio out , but this be not a issue with I , when use hdmus with my laptop because you can use smart audio software to disable the projector audio and send the sound straight to you laptop speaker or external speaker plug in to you laptop . I have Windows 7 and use a p500 Toshiba satellite laptop . I be able to connect this use a hdmus cable to both my DIRECTV HD receiver and laptop w\/hd and get 1080i picture with a 100 + '' 16:9 widescreen within approximately a 15 to 17 foot distance . if you can afford something more expensive I would say go for it , if you be look for true 720p or 1080p hd . however if you be on a tight budget this little projector be great and the picture do not disappoint even for hd . I be so happy I settle for this and do not spend so much more to get a hd -lrb- label -rrb- projector . this be very portable and I be use a regular camera tripod as a stand , and the whole experience be just awesome . +211 Projector NEG 1 this projector lack many feature include a\/v mute . it use a propritary video cable that have break on my unit twice . have to order replacement cable from Infocus store at a premium price . lamp life be really bad . have two bulb explode -lrb- yes explode and smoke -rrb- in the unit . now I be have trouble get another replacement lamp . if I want a new lamp I have to send it back to Infocus to get a power supply upgrade . this thing be a hunk of junk - nothing good to say about it . I will never buy a Infocus product again ! +435 Projector POS 5 this product be a tremendous value and have deliver all that be promise . auto lens shift feature be a real plus and setup and adjustment be very intuitive . Ultra short throw be a main concern and I have zoom-to-spare throw a image from 10.5 foot onto a 92 inch diagonal screen . in dakened theater , the low lamp setting -lrb- with est lamp life of 4,000 hour -rrb- be exceptional and with a cinema color setting , video be warm , rich , smooth and black be outstanding . I spend 6 month look for this and be very pleased with this unit . I would highly recommend it . +943 Projector POS 5 we be in need of a computer projector for meeting and do not want to spend $ $ $ for a new one . this InFocus projector be the perfect answer . it arrive quickly , work right out of the box and have already perform well at several meeting ! +604 Projector POS 5 ive own this projector for over a year now and I love it . the picture be fantastic and color be perfect . this be the second projector ive own and the best by far . I be concern about the picture clarity compare to the dlp projector I previously own . soon after install it I be blow away by the picture quality of this projector . the only thing I would change be to make a few hundred more lumen of brightness . but that can be make up with a more reflective screen . the picture show up excellent in the dark , and good in afternoon light with the right screen . I use it as a main tv and have it mount on the celing in my livingroom . with curtain that filter light a little the projector be up to the task for anything . I know two other people who buy one because they love mine so much . none of we have ever have a problem whatsoever with the projector . one even have over 3500 hour on he original bulb ! with hdmus , componnent , s video and composite input this projector have the ability to connect to anything . overall this projector be a excellent value ! +858 Projector NEG 1 we buy this projector about a year ago and love it for the first 11 month . then one day , we try to turn it on and it would not work . curious . we pull out the manual , which display a series of troubleshoot step . when we turn on the power , the blue power lead light blink 8 time , indicate that there be a dmd error . turn out that stand for `` Digital Micromirror Device . '' we do not really know what that mean , so we call customer service . the customer service representative be very friendly , and he walk we through the troubleshoot step . he confirm that it be a dmd error , which be cover under warranty . we ask he if it could be a lamp issue -lrb- which be not cover under the year-long warranty -rrb- , to which he reply that it be `` unlikely . '' we pay the $ 20 to send we projector to the warranty department . after about a week , we get a response that it be a lamp issue , and it would cost $ 250 for they to fix it and send it back . if we do not want they to fix it , we would still have to pay $ 75 for a `` out of warranty diagnosis , '' plus shipping -lrb- ~ $ 25 -rrb- . so we would either pay $ 250 for a work projector that be still within the first year of purchase , or $ 100 just to get we broken projector back . I call customer service and explain the situation , tell they that we do everything we could to confirm that it be NOT a lamp issue prior to send in the projector . there be serious fan issue and the power button be not work properly , which I assume be symptom of the DMD error . the folk at customer service be not very sympathetic . they do not have any more information about the error , they would not let I talk to a technician , and they do not have any documentation about these type of error . I still have no idea what a dmd error mean . the user manual say that if it be a lamp issue , the orange lamp light should blink , which do not happen for we . we have the projector mount to a ceiling where it never move , receive plenty of air flow , and be only use for a total of less than 400 hour -- not the 3,000 hour that they claim the lamp should last . after read some of the review , we find out that we be not the only one who get screw by the Vivitek warranty department . the language in the warranty and the product manual itself be mislead . in the meantime , Vivitek be hold we projector hostage . I have hear that Amazon be great about return faulty product , but we be not so bright and we send the projector to Vivitek instead . EDIT : about four month later , after we have completely give up on the Vivitek projector and buy a new projector from another company , we mysteriously receive a package in the mail from Vivitek . Lo and behold , it be we old projector -- and it be fix ! there be absolutely no explanation about what have be wrong with the projector , and why they have suddenly decide to send we back we projector that they previously claim be not cover under warranty . Wish they could admit to they mistake and\/or tell we what be go on . vivitek suck at customer service and communication . +185 Projector POS 5 cant beat the price . nice smooth surface . no wrinkle . pull up and down nice and smoothly . I be just amaze I get a screen so large for $ 110 deliver . I be tempt to get another and put it away in case I need another later . look well make . nice and solid . when you pull down screen , it lock into position with very little effort . +815 Projector NEU 3 not good for ANYTHING BUSINESS RELATED : + this be not good for anything business related . in a business setting , meeting , seminar , etc. . this do not have the power to project in a light room . no one will be able to see the screen . + you audience will also not be able hear the sound . + this be not good for a booth at a conference\/seminar either . again the lighting will make it nearly impossible to see and the picture quality be not crisp and typically wash out . you be much better off get a lcd\/led tv and set it up in you booth . this will not work . + if you be at you desk at work , run it off you computer . + if you be in a conference room , run it off a laptop or proper projector . PRACTICAL use for the projector -lrb- only good if the setting be PITCH DARK -rrb- : + if you be in a public space w\/o electricity in the evening and it be quiet as a mouse outside , you could probably use this item . + I can not think of any advantage of use this projector as oppose to hook up you phone to a monitor or a real project . before purchase this product , I read the review of the other mini-projector list on Amazon . at the time of this review , there be not a single one with a 4 or 5 star avg . they all have either 3 or 3.5 star , and a price range from $ 100-350 . for the most part the the review for all of they read the same , so I opt with the cheapest model know it be a early 1st generation technology that would be quickly improve upon in the next year or so . I buy it with low expectation , and my expectation be more than meet , as a result i return it . in short the critical review of this projector be accurate . 1 . brightness : w\/10 lumen you can not expect much . -lrb- a typical average projector sport 3000 + lumen - so that give you a idea of what you be deal with -rrb- . in a darkened room , the picture borderline acceptable . imagine if you have a old tube tv and the picture be start to fade out . that be the output . the `` always in focus '' lens be a little bit of a stretch . even after i increase the brightness level to the max , nearly impossible to see . 2 . cord : it include all chord necessary to run the projector from you phone -lrb- minus a apple chord if you be use a apple product -rrb- 3 . sound : you can not expect miracle from a piece of technology this size . it be exactly what you would expect , like a tinny transistor radio with very low volume . 4 . SDHC card slot : it provide a standard size Camera Card slot . play a slide show of pic , you set the transition , etc from the projector . I drop a video clip on my card , and the projector be not able to read it . I be not sure if that have to do with the video format\/or the operating software . 5 . functionality : Easy to use overall . +195 Projector POS 5 I know , it be expensive -lrb- read the other review -rrb- . I think the same thing . but you do check the bulb price before you buy the projector , right ? right ? anyway , because of my previous experience with a Acer projector , I expect this bulb to last in the area of 750 hour -lrb- it be advertise at 2000 -rrb- . to my pleasant surprise , my first bulb go to 2970 before die . just make sure , when you replace the bulb , that you carefully clear out any dust from the inside of the case ; if you screen be flash green , you color wheel be probably gummed up . it take I forever to figure that out . anyhow , you choice be between this bulb at about $ 250 for 2000 + hour , or some other crappy bulb for $ 180 at -lrb- 1000 hour . you do the math . +914 Projector POS 5 I order this projector base upon the very positive review . I be tire of use the traditional computer projector with it be video connector and the associate fuss with the f9 key to get the right output to the projector . this projector connect via the usb port . the projector 's software be self-contained on the unit . installation on my Mac laptop be almost instantaneous . the laptop 's desktop appear almost immediately . installation on my Windows laptop be as simple and almost as quick . the projector also permit multiple source connection , and the remote allow the operator to toggle between the video source . I receive notice of shipment on Sunday , and it arrive on Tuesday . that be incredible service . +608 Projector NEG 1 yes , it be wonderfully small , lightweight , portable , and easy to operate . but what you get from this projector be a image that even in a dark room on a projector screen at a mere 30 '' diagonal have illegible word and color that be a miserable reflection of what you be try to project . -lrb- yes , I use the focus dial to try and sharpen the image . -rrb- if you be project in black-and-white or do not care about color , if you be show a presentation that have all 36-point font , or if you absolutely need to carry something in you pocket at all time in case you need to project a image , this be you baby . otherwise I suggest get creative , use something else , or skip the visual . my expectation may have be unrealistic . Make sure yours be not . +975 Projector NEG 1 up \/ down mechanism break after 90 day . favus will not return my call even though it fall under warranty . incredibly disappoint in the company and the product . the lack of ANY customer service be appalling . they do not even bother with a automated service . when you call the help number , it ring and go to VOICEMAIL ... as if it be a personal cell phone ... be there a `` no star '' button ??? +143 Projector POS 4 EPSON EX3200 Multimedia Projector -lrb- v11h369020 -rrb- it come with a usb cable and all you do be plug it into you computer but that be where my problem start . there be no software disc to install but when I connect the computer a install icon appear for installation only my computer keep lose the signal from the projector cause the screen to turn blue and blank after call tech support twice for solution `` change usb cable '' which do not help and install software from epson website which would not work because the latest software have already be install I be ready to return the projector to Amazon with some choice word especially after the last tech person tell I if I want to use the projector I would have to disconnect and reconnect it to the computer every time the signal loss cause the screen to go blank . sound ludicrous right ? but have a modicum of intelligence I uninstall the latest version software and reinstall the older version software from epson website and the projector work like a charm . I have a imac run a 10.6.8 os x and a Macbook pro 10.6 os x. so the projector do all that it be suppose to do once you get past the software installation process . it would have get 5 star without that fiasco . +487 Projector POS 5 we try several different model over the year to use in we vacation\/retirement home and this be the only one that give we a excellent surround experience while also be able to handle we music need . the lack of wire around the house be my wife 's # 1 priority , and my # 2 - my first priority have always be the sound quality and the ability to fill we 19 ' x 25 ' great room . you can tailor the overall sound quality through a number of setting . have be in the reidential and commercial audio\/video industry in the 70 and early 80s in both retail sale and as a manufacturer ' rep , I be well aware of the development in surround sound and have watch it evolve . I more often deal with recording and sound reinforcement product - the former usually involve small monitor and the latter use large scale multiple speaker array and so I tend to lean toward the larger box sound , but this system amaze I . I also sell a large amount of Yamaha pro equipment , include they amplifier as well as guitar and electronic keyboard . they product be always among the best and the most reliable . while I agree placement be important -lrb- it be in all system , do not let the industry hype fool you -rrb- I find it work well in a variety of placement position as long as you run the auto setup and then tweak to you liking . please understand that I be a `` early-senior '' with a moderate amount of hearing loss from the aging process , and more importantly from a number of year in work in high sound pressure environment for extended period of time -lrb- in the sound room and on stage -rrb- . I no longer consider myself a critical listener -lrb- I do not listen to `` the sound '' anymore - I listen to the content -rrb- so what I hear may not apply to you need , but I believe this product to be a exceptional value sound bar . +685 Projector NEG 1 bought brand new Video would only stay on for 30 seconds before turn off terrible product Amazon be great about refund , so I 'll continue to purchase product through amazon +165 Projector POS 5 I buy this 120-inch screen to replace my outgoing 106-inch screen make by Mustang . these appear to be the same manufacturer . the screen come deliver early and superbly packed , no damage . my screen have no installation hardware , but I would not have use it anyway . to mount on a wall , go to Lowe 's and spend $ 3.87 on `` screw in '' wall anchor that will hold 50 pound each . you merely make you measurement and press the anchor into the wall to start it and then screw it in the wall the rest of the way with a Phillips screwdriver - it take 3 seconds to do this . the screen unrolled easily and the edge do not curl inward as you would expect . there be a new plastic-y smell that go away after a day or so . this be a high quality high gain screen that I would recommend . I leave my screen pull down 99 % of the time , so I can not comment on the durability of the roll-up mechanism , but it appear robust . you can not lose with this screen , highly recommend . +291 Projector POS 4 anyone look for a small portable projector should look no further . it be hard to believe that such a small package could deliver such powerful visual . my band stillsuit need something small and light weight to take on tour , and this be the best option hand down . we use video during we performance and need something that could fit into a variety of tight space depend where we be play . it be somewhat limit in connection -lrb- no DVI , no rca audio connector , no component video -rrb- but have just about eveythe you need . although a digital connection -lrb- dvi -rrb- be miss the most . I do not honestly think this unit be capable of true hd -lrb- in 720p at least -rrb- via the vga\/rgb connection . I have a hdtv , and while this projector 's picture look good , it can not touch the clarity of a lcd . but that be not the point . a tight little dlp unit like this would be a good choice for anyone who need projection on the go -lrb- presenter , DJ 's , etc. -rrb- or have limit space to make a home theater . +107 Projector NEU 3 this very light , portable projector be perfect for small conference room . it be easy to set up and connect in a snap to you laptop . Don ; t leave home without it , if you can afford it ! +562 Projector NEG 1 this quit work after just a few minute . we contact the company which manufacture it , and never get a answer . it go back the next day . +610 Projector POS 5 we old projector die , but the carosel slide holder be still good . they match the new projecter perfectly . +46 Projector POS 5 I buy this for my husband for Christmas . nice general alarm clock with a few extra . the large display on the ceiling be awesome ! no need to crank neck around pillow in the middle of the night . the nature sound be ok . the time be pre-set , so all that be involve be plug it in . it have a flashlight as well , but we have not use it yet . overall it be a nice alarm clock . +90 Projector POS 5 I be just in love with this thing ! when I be sitting\/laying on the couch and watch a movie theater quality projection on my livingroom wall ... . I be still grin . if I have the buck I would go for the next model up but for the price it be incredible . the sound be like be in the theater but it could be a tad louder . I have hook it up the computer to watch youtube and a usb flash drive to view slideshow and have have no problem . +295 Projector POS 4 this be a really cool product . I have use it attach to my iPhone 4 and have no complaint . Picture and sound quality be both excellent . setup be easy peasy . we have it out of the box and play a video in we living room in 20 minute top . my kid love watch video like they would in the theater . construction be durable . it seem well make and like a product that will last . this would be so easy to take along anywhere because of its compact size . Camping , road trip , or a big move . all three be impend for my family , and I will take this with we to help entertain not only the kid , but the adult as well . battery life be also excellent . I be really digging this little product . we be a homeschooling family , and I be try to think of way to use this projector with the kid 's curriculum -lrb- variety keep life interesting -rrb- . I 'll update my review if i figure it out . I also plan to use this for my Girl Scout troop 's next movie night . the girl will love it ! +734 Projector POS 4 I be hesitant to buy this item because of reviewer receive defective clock , but I take a chance and have not have any problem -lrb- yet -- it be be a month and a half -rrb- . I want three thing : wake to nature\/soothing sound , have a battery backup , and have 7\/5\/2 alarm mode ; this have all three . I would have like more\/better choice for wake-up sound , but I like three out of the four -lrb- ocean , brook , meditation , and wind chime -rrb- . I do not fall asleep to the sound , but for some it would make more sense to fall asleep to one and wake to another which be not a option here . I do not use the built-in flashlight or time projection on the wall\/ceiling , but there be there if you want they . I think Timex try to add too many whistle and bell -lrb- e.g. , if you want a flashlight by you bed , you already have one , do not you ? it be interesting that you can have the flashlight turn on automatically when there be a power outage , but : a -rrb- why would you ? , and b -rrb- they sell full-sized flashlight that plug into outlet and do the same thing . the clock automatically set the time : nice , but not necessary . -rrb- and the add complexity for a low price may be cause problem with some clock . also , I think more attention should have be pay to what I think be the main feature : the soothing sound and fall asleep\/waking up to they . overall , I have not have any technical problem with my clock or the alarm -lrb- s -rrb- and I like it . I wake to pleasant sound ; I can set my workday and weekend alarm and not touch the clock until a holiday\/vacation come up ; and I do not worry about a power outage turn off my alarm clock . +251 Projector POS 5 product perform as good as original unit but at a much better price . Time will tell if the product last as long , but up to this point I be well satisfied . +867 Projector POS 5 I take some time before I zero on this product . this be a excellent projector . some of the key feature which I like be - a. -rrb- Dolby Sound System -- fantastic sound b. -rrb- in-built dvd Player -- save you money on dvd Player , extra wire arrangement . c. -rrb- very silent operation -- no issue till date or any interference while watch movie . simply love this product . +302 Projector POS 5 I have own several projector , first be a Sony , then a optoma , after a Yamaha -lrb- expensive compare to this one , more than double -rrb- and now the Panasonic . this projector take I by surprise . I be expect something good , compare to my previous Yamaha projector , but not as good as the picture I be see with the Panasonic . contrast be very good , and picture quality awesome . no screen door effect noticeable . people be make comment about the setup , in my case the setup be straight forward . to get the right focus make sure to use the remote control instead of the button on the unit . +118 Projector POS 4 after my son -lrb- accidentally -rrb- break 2 50 '' plasma tv 's I start seriously look into projection as a alternative to those easily breakable screen . because of the loss I take on those 2 tv 's I be not willing to spend a great deal of money so I be cautiously optimistic when I come across this projector . we have have it about a month now and I have to say that I be surprisingly please with it . the picture quality be really good , even during the middle of the day . I would say it rival my previous plasma tv 's . it only have 1 hdmus output so we buy a `` switch '' to accommodate the cable and the blu ray . the sound be fine when we be just watch regular tv but when we be watch a movie on the blu ray the volume get really low for some reason so we be look into a sound system to take care of that . we have the WII hook up to it as well and again , the volume be low , but the kid can play WII and have fun and I do not have to worry about any remote fly thru the screen . for any family with small child I would definitely recommend look into projection as a alternative to tip toe around a flat screen tv and this be a great budget friendly projector to consider ! +24 Projector POS 5 I be a little skeptical of 5 star review , but this mount most certainly deserve that ! I recently purchase a Planar Pd7060 , and be in need of a mount with good adjustment , due to my low drop ceiling in my theater\/basement . -lrb- the Planar do not have a lens shift ... -rrb- as mention in earlier review , the instruction be lack , but the build quality of this thing more than make up for the shortfall of the literature . I have to make a brace behind the ceiling tile outof 2x 's and that probably take longer to do than install the projector . I be very pleased with all the tilt , yaw , forward , back , and side to side adjustment that can be make . it be very easy to square the projector to the wall or screen you be project on ... it have a variety of bolt include for mount you projector , I do not need to go to Lowe 's or hd to pick up any thing ... my Planar have three mount point , and the mount have 2 set of 3 adjustable arm , that I be sure will work with almost any projector . W there be set screw in every adjustable pivot point to lock you setting in place . this thing will not move ! pricepoint and versatility be top notch ! +489 Projector POS 5 I be surprize that it be new at that cost because walmart want 70.00 for just 10 ft. . it work great with a perfect picture and sound . also I read coment first and that make I choose this one . +642 Projector POS 4 my old home theater room have my Projector on the table , very low class , now I this mount and my home theater be SWEET ! very professional look . my wife really like it . +588 Projector POS 5 I have have this projector for almost a month now , and it have work perfectly for I the whole time . it be a little bit fuzzy when project off of my computer use the standard VGA connection , but when I be watch video from my computer or gaming system it look perfect . I have be project straight onto my green wall , and with the wall color adjustment it look great . I would definitely recommend this projector , and I think that you would be crazy to get a projector for 3 time the price that be only a little higher quality . +601 Projector POS 5 I review many different projector before finally purchase this one . I have it project on a flat , white wall from about 15 ' away and the seating be also about 15 ' away . the high definition be outstanding on this projector . I also have a 52 '' Sony Bravia 1080p lead and this be definitely comparable to that which be amazing consider it be much , much bigger . the menu option do not need much tweaking despite what you may read in some people 's review . I increase my contrast to 61 and I decrease my brightness to 48 during the day and move it down to 40 at night . if you be look at buy this model I would strongly advise do so . only downside be that the zoom be very limited and there be no lens shift capability so if you be work with a small area you might want a projector with lens shift and zoom but if not then this model be definitely worth the money ! I have have friend over to see it and no one can believe that it only cost $ 630 . the PS3 look outstanding on this as well . I can not comment on the 3d capability as the converter box be sell out at the moment and do not get to test that out but if it be as good of quality as the rest of the projector then I be not worried one bit . +657 Projector POS 5 I select this projector base on discussion with my two child , both of whom have projector . I be most concerned about the ability to project through ambient light as this be cite as the most annoying problem they have experience . my projector be situate about 25 foot from the screen and light stream into the room through two french door and two sky light . the BenQ W6000 easily handle this and project a highly watchable 12 ft picture . of course during the evening with the light turn down the picture rival and in many case be better than what you will find in you average neighborhood theater . its get just about every connector port imaginable include VGA , 2xHDMI , RCA Video , Component and S-Video . this projector may be more expensive than a lot of the projector available but it be well worth the extra price . I pay about $ 300 more from Amazon than it be now be offer for and I feel it be a bargain at that price . now it be even more affordable . +199 Projector POS 5 let 's get the obvious stuff out of the way : this be not a 1080p , ultra high end projector and after purchase it and set it up , I realize that it do not need to be . I have a studio apartment with these light beige\/eggshell color wall -lrb- not the prettiest color , I can assure you -rrb- . I have want a projector in my room\/living area since I be a teenager . I always think it would be cool to have my own large screen media display that be all mine . well , fast-forward about 20 year and I decide that I have wait long enough so I buy the Epson for a pretty decent price -lrb- positive # 1 ... I be a student so I live on a budget ! LOL ! -rrb- I do not watch network television hardly so a tuner be not necessary . instead , I use it for media view and gaming . my setup consist of : -lrb- 1 -rrb- Epson EX5200 Digital Projector -lrb- 2 -rrb- xbox 360 elite console w \/ kinect -lrb- use the HDMI port and the audio adapter for left and right analog output -rrb- -lrb- 3 -rrb- hdmus 1.3 cable , double shield with gold terminal end from specialty electronics shop in town - 25ft length -lrb- 4 -rrb- monster audio shield , gold terminal rca patch cable - again , 25ft length -lrb- 5 -rrb- Logitech z-623 2.1 Speaker system -lrb- pair 4 '' separate with tweeter and single 8 '' sub - 200w\/400w max -rrb- -lrb- 6 -rrb- - occasionally - personal build htpc with Lite-On Blu-Ray drive , 3.2 Ghz dual core cpu , 4 gb ram , Windows 7 Ult . use the HDMI cable I have run video signal to the projector , the image on my wall -lrb- no sheet-no screen -rrb- be phenomenally sharp and the color be well balanced consider this projector 's price point -lrb- which it will do 720p and a pretty good 1080p compress with only minor screen-dooring when closer than 6 foot -rrb- . it take I a moment to get it just sharp enough with the manual zoom and focus ring . I test it at various position with image size up to 120 inch , but settle on 88 inch base on room in my studio apartment . the setting be amazingly simple to adjust and the result be great . I use several media form for adjust it to my taste and comfort : serenity -lrb- blu-ray -rrb- , Tron Legacy -lrb- Blu-Ray -rrb- , Sucker Punch -lrb- Blu-Ray -rrb- , Star Wars -lrb- Blu-Ray -rrb- , James Bond 007\/Quantum of Solace -lrb- Blu-Ray -rrb- , -lrb- 5 -rrb- Halo Legends -lrb- dvd -rrb- , Appleseed ex Machina -lrb- dvd -rrb- , let the Right one in -lrb- dvd -rrb- , Halo Reach -lrb- Xbox game -rrb- , mass effect 3 -lrb- xbox game -rrb- , Forza Motorsport 4 -lrb- xbox game -rrb- , Earth 1080p -lrb- youtube clip -rrb- , top Gear UK episode -lrb- internet -rrb- I have the contrast increase in Theater mode to about 16 and in a ambiently light room , I still have quality discernment of light and dark . in a dark room , it be theater quality and my friend enjoy it when they come over . I be beyond pleased with this projector and even more so with the setup that have it work as well as it do . I encourage anyone to purchase the ex5200 if you want good quality video on a budget . +702 Projector NEU 3 grant we do not buy this as a ` travel ' projector , we still buy it to use as a projector , and it be convenient enough in case we do ever want to travel with it . unfortunately , we be not even able to get 6 month out of it before the pixel start die . one day we turn it on and notice one pixel be dead , the next day a few more be dead , the next day ton more be dead . so there go the projector . what a waste . and we buy it new from Ebay , so unfortunately no return or warranty . there be some good thing about it ... it be small , so you can travel with it no problem . the screen be large enough and good quality . but that be about where it end ... but for the price , you expect what you be get . so do not expect anything fantabulous . the bad thing about it , obviously once it start go downhill , it go fast . to get the best picture quality , you will need to be in the dark . and it be kinda annoying have to run speaker to the thing . anyways . it be not horrible ... just wish it would have last longer . but because it start die , it cause we to invest in another projector that we like much better . so I guess it be a good thing . +998 Projector NEG 2 I be displeased with this unit . at about 15 foot the word be not very clear . I use it for presentation of financial statement and display we online client portal . people be unable to read what be on the screen . +632 Projector NEG 2 product work great , look great , very quiet motor quite pleased - just complete 6 business session use it . several positive comment +329 Projector POS 5 this projector rock , the color and picture be excellent ... plus they give you a extra bulb , and bulb be only 30 buck ... great product very happy +242 Projector POS 4 after round one of tweak the 1080p picture be top notch ! im still quite shocked how far projector technology have come . the picture be so compelling you 'll think you be watch a hdtv . that be until you realize you be screen be 8ft across or more ! I have only be use this projector for exactly one week , and it be my first , and I be very impressed ! the `` out of the box '' picture be pretty good but fortunately im not one of those plug & play kind of people . I actually use the `` menu '' button ! UPDATE : 10-22-11 I have put in just over 470hr on the 8100 and I notice a unusaul problem I can not defeat ! there be a bluish band across the `` top '' -lrb- it be upside down -rrb- of the screen and red across the `` bottom '' . it be only noticeable when watch bright scene and in 16x9 but it seem to be grow towards the center of the screen . appearently this be common with past Epson projector . the cost to fix this will cost as much as buy another projector and that be ecactly what im go to do . buy from another company that be ! iv ' e get my eye on a optoma 3d projector . we 'll see ! I might give Epson another chance . Minus one star for this problem ... +756 Projector POS 5 screen be big and very quality , easy and quick to set up , bright and clear picture . Tripod go pretty high ! very satisfy . awesome item for a good price . +156 Projector POS 5 I be look for a projector to show Harry Potter for my son birthday and to watch movie outdoors this summer and my brother , who also own this model , say to try this one out because he love it . well he be right . the picture in a dark room be incredible . we have show it on the wall and on the EPSON DUET projector screen -lrb- which be pretty cool too -rrb- . we have watch the final four -lrb- from a dish network receiver -rrb- , Shrek 4 -lrb- from a Samsung Blue Ray Player -rrb- , Legends of the Guardian -lrb- from the PS3 -rrb- , and Tron -lrb- from a dish network receiver -rrb- . the color be all incredible and the black level be great . the only minor issue I have be that the projector would not find my Samsung Blue Ray player with a 25 ft hdmus cable , but it would with a 10 ft cable . not a projector issue I be sure as the 25 ft cable work with the projector and the PS3 . in a well light room the projector look okay -lrb- obviously not as good as when the room be dark -rrb- . with a little light filter into the room , the projector still look really good . I also adjust setting accord to one of the other review and it seem to make the picture even better than it look out of the box -lrb- which be still really good -rrb- . if you need a great little projector at a great little price , go for it . +534 Projector POS 5 this little projector be perfect for someone look to have a home theater on a budget . I admit , I be not expect too much out of this thing when I order it . after all , you get what you pay for , right ? in this case , you get a whole lot more ! the picture be great , to begin with . out of the box , I adjust the manual focus -lrb- yes , manual -rrb- and tweak the picture setting with the include remote . within five minute , I have a phenomenal 120 '' image -lrb- just on a white wall , too . I 'll edit this soon , once I get my `` real screen '' -rrb- . whether its dvd or Bluray , Xbox 360 , wii or ps2 -lrb- no PS3 -rrb- , the picture be well above what I ever expect . for $ 250 , this little projector be a steal ! pro : + great picture + Easy to set up and adjust + a lot quieter than I expect + never heat up , no matter how long its on con : - build in speaker sound terrible -lrb- but who care ? you do not buy a projector for speaker ! -rrb- - no way to adjust setting without the remote . OVERALL : buy this projector . you will not regret it !! +965 Projector POS 5 after do research for a screen this one be better than expect !!! great deal for the dollar amount I highly recommend ! +664 Projector POS 4 this package have it all and it be a great system for beginner . I have a small living room and I do not want to move furniture around or clear a wall . you do not need to rearrange a thing when use this system . just pull up the screen , plug in you projector and subwoofer and you be ready to go . the 80 inch screen be a great addition in this package . when you be do , you can hide the screen under a bed and hide the projector away in a closet . there be some negative as it be not hddvd compatible , and it do not accept component input . but most people will simply use it to watch regular dvd or hook up one 's own video game system . it be a all-in-one system that be inexpensive and a great introduction to home theater . +335 Projector POS 5 after day of totally obsessive research about projector -lrb- 3d , 3d glass , 2d to 3d conversion , full 3d as oppose to `` 3d ready '' and on and on -rrb- , I finally make a somewhat inform decision and order the Optoma gt750e . I have nothing to compare it to , as this be my first projector , but I could not be happier !! my new toy do everything it promise and we have watch several 3d and 2d movie in the comfort of we home - it have even make a 3d fan of my unimpressible husband . the picture be fabulous in a darkened room and good in ambient light . the build in speaker be good enough to enjoy anything you want to watch but HDMI surround sound be better , of course . 3d sound be through the hdmus output so sound be not send to the RCA out or the headphone out when play 3d or convert 2d to 3d . we have use both a Panasonic dmp-bdt210 integrated-wi-fus 3d blu-ray dvd Player and a Sony 3d blu-ray player hook directly to the projector via a hdmus cable . the gt750 recognize the Panasonic immediately but take longer to find the Sony 's input . the picture be great with both player . we have use a king size sheet , a blank wall and now a elite 135 '' screen - the screen give you a fabulous picture but the wall be waaaaay better because you can make the picture so big !! all in all , the gt750 be a delightful toy and I would do it again ! here be what you 'll need if you want to take advantage of the gt750 's 3d capacity -lrb- all be available on Amazon -rrb- - a hdmus 3d capable cable UltraClear HD DLP Link compatible 3d glass - most comfortable for I - work beautifully and best picture overall or optoma bg-zd101 dlp link 3d glass - be a bit heavy but have a great picture - some flash in bright scene or Optoma Technology bg-3drfglass 3d rf rechargeable glass -lrb- radio frequency NOT IR glass -rrb- work with the emitter include with the projector - picture be good and glass be comfortable but the picture be better with dlp glass - you can use all three kind of glass at the same time . also , I find out the hard way , 3d glass can not be find at local retailer . I should have order a extra pair -lrb- or two -rrb- . I also purchase a Panasonic dmp-bdt210 integrated-wi-fus 3d blu-ray dvd Player which play 3d and convert 2d to 3d -lrb- after I follow the advice in the follow quote -rrb- . it also stream Netflix , you Tube and all they friend and you can -lrb- slowly -rrb- search the internet . it be fabulous ! for the Panasonic 2d to 3d conversion fix `` turn on you blu ray player and navigate to setup , next go to player setting , then push tv \/ Device connection . go to 3d setting and go to 3d type , click this and change it to side by side , as this tv support neither full hd -lrb- for 2d-3d conversion -rrb- . once you have change it to side by side , the problem be fix . now insert a non 3d movie and push the 3d button and go to 2d to 3d conversion . you tv will sense 3d content and ask you if you want to switch , you will only have a few seconds to push yes so be ready or it will revert to 2d . '' +432 Projector POS 4 I buy this item for my husband . he really like it . he be amaze at how big and clear the picture be . the only complaint he have be that the usb port do not work on this device . besides that , everything else be good . +807 Projector POS 5 I use this to install a hc1500 mit . projector and I could not be happier with the product . it be very heavy duty , and have many adjustment . I can not think of a way it could be better . +713 Projector NEG 1 install the bulb and when I turn on the video I be disappointed beam illuminate very little , I do not recommend this bulb , never ever buy . +264 Projector POS 4 do not pay attention to the review suggest that the bulb be a hassle . this be a good product , and I think I know what happen with he . the first bulb probably have a problem , and that be why Toshiba replace it at no cost . but if he install the next bulb incorrectly , the lifespan be shorten exponentially , so be sure to do it right . and as for the price of the bulb , they be expensive , but he be exaggerate just a bit . I just buy one on the internet a week ago for $ 260 -lrb- tax free -rrb- and it be already here . as for I , I use my projector extensively , probably 5-7 hour a day . it last about a year and a half for I , which be more than I think it would . all in all , this be much better than a big screen t.v. , and cheaper ... good buy . +742 Projector POS 5 I cant believe the picture quality of this projector be so niceee I purchase a favus 120 '' screen and now I play game and watch bluray movie and the quality , color be simply awesome cant beat this projector for the price for 600 $ i highly recommend this for hd movie and PS3 , xbox360 or pc gaming order the Nvidia 3d Vision and will write about the 3d review in shortly I also order the 3d gamer so will be use 3d Games with PS3 Cant get a better deal for the price Sandeep +350 Projector NEG 1 I would have give 3.5-4 star for picture quality . I still run my 14 year old sonyg90 CRT Projector through a Faroudja processor and nothing I have see since can beat it . not even close . biggest problem I have with the picture really be poor reproduction of black which to I separate the great and the good . the one star come from build quality and customer service . I always believe the true test of a company be how they back a product . well two lamp go down , the original in just about 100 hour . arghh !! it be like buy a Gillette razor on sale know they will get you for 10 year on the blade . I purchase the product with a extend 1 year warranty and when the third lamp do not work I realize I have a problem with the projector . Panasonic refuse to honor the extended warranty and although I write they detailed description of the problem customer service basically send I a form letter deny the second year . I give up and toss it in the garbage . many people seem to have post similar comment about the Panasonic PTAX200U in regard to product build issue and customer service . my advice ... . LISTEN !!! +456 Projector POS 5 product be very affordable & be a superb choice for the price . the image be a bit pixelated , but it be a excellent medium for play game & watch movie . the machine be fairly quiet & the picture be still usable even when the ambient light be a bit high . I be very happy with my purchase +924 Projector POS 5 the UNIT go WELL beyond MY EXPECTATIONS . picture quality be great , ease of USE , WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND . +792 Projector POS 5 I have never write a Amazon review before , but I have learn a lot about projector over the past couple week , and think I should share . as price have be come down , I finally decide to get a projector . 720p be plenty good for I . after read plenty of review here and the various projector website out there I narrow my search down to the Optoma hd66 and the Epson 705HD , both go for + \/ - $ 650 at the time of this writing , and both highly rate . a bit about I - I be not a projector or electronics nut , but I do appreciate know that I have the best -lrb- or better -rrb- of what be out there when I do buy thing of significant $ $ $ . male , early 30 's . do not watch any tv , just the occasional movie at home . after much fuss , I decide to order the Epson . it seem to have more feature , have longer bulb life , and in the end I figure since I be no projector connoisseur I would be more than impressed with its performance . however , I be not blow away enough , so I order the Optoma . I be keep the Optoma , and return the Epson . I test both use a connection to my old Mac Powerbook g4 laptop , project onto a white wall paint matte white . here be what I learn : Epson 705HD : - lcd technology really do display `` little pixel '' that be visible if you be up close . not really a big deal with a movie where thing be move all the time . - significantly brighter than the Optoma . - better design box , integrate lense `` cap '' that slide , easier to use adjustable leg , more friendly packaging\/manuel , carry case . basically you get the feeling that Epson put some think into its product . feel more name brand and consumer friendly . - supposedly have ~ 1000 bulb hour more than the Optoma when in Eco mode -lrb- a touch less bright than normal mode -rrb- . - have a speaker -lrb- I do not use it -rrb- . - definitely better for office or daytime use . - Blacks appear gray when compare to adjacent wall . - compare to the Epson , have a larger `` screen size '' to `` distance from wall '' ratio -lrb- I think this be call `` throw '' -rrb- . plenty big . in fact I have to `` zoom out '' as the screen actually feel too large for the distance I be from the screen . the projector be prop up on a table immediately behind my couch . once adjust it be fine . the large size could be great for the gamer out there though . optoma hd66 : - feel more `` make in China '' with less fancy sticker and design . - not quite as bright as the Epson . - I have yet to try this one during full daylight , but guess the Epson would be better here . but this be fine with I b\/c I figure if it be bright outside , I should probably be there instead of inside . - much better color . - throw ratio not as good as Epson , but more than adequate for my need . - dlp really do have much better black . the `` black frame '' around the movie be a far cry from gray , and I have a feeling if I fool around with it , I can probably get it to almost disappear . - better picture quality - this be apparent to I and all 4 of my non-professional projector testing friend , and more apparent the darker the room be . the Epson be great , but the Optoma be like `` Whoa - I would not think I would be able to tell , but I can . '' - harder -lrb- though still possible -rrb- to discern the `` pixel '' - feel more like film . - I be worry about the `` rainbow effect '' . my friend and I be all able to see RGB shadow if we shake we head back and forth wildly , and maybe a flash of it once or twice during the movie when we eye would flick across the screen . not really a big deal , though I guess some people be more `` susceptible '' to see it than other . both : - easily find my computer and display the correct resolution automatically . - amazing resolution . - plenty of adjustment to mess with color and whatnot . I only fool around with these for 5 minute or so . you can easily make the color warmer or cooler . - have a small remote with plenty of function . battery include . - do not come with hdmus , DVI , VGA cable . however , each do come with cable that allow you plug the traditional dvd player -lrb- the yellow , red , white `` rca ? '' -rrb- cable into the VGA port . like I say in the end I be stick with the Optoma hd66 . since the reason to get a projector , for I , be to have a really great screen to watch movie on , I figure I should lean toward picture quality over feature . if I watch tv for a lot of the day , the brightness and bulb life of the Epson may have sway I in that direction . I hope this be helpful and save you all some time . +931 Projector NEG 2 so , I do a ton of research before make this purchase , and I be still blind-sided by poor design choice across the board on the pk301 . First of all , I be mac base , so in order to convert my video file -lrb- why do this not offer the ability to play back more codec ? -rrb- I have to load up handbrake . after several hour of completely waste time convert video to the claim acceptable codec and fail to have any of they work on the projector , I sit down and begin to search for a answer online -lrb- the proper info on how to handle the video file convert for mac user be not include in the manuel -rrb- I manage to figure out the very strict guideline for the file conversion process . I begin convert a few video to test the projector and put they on a 4gig microsd card . the first video I transfer be a 22 minute tv show . the file size come to be around 540mb . it do not work . I spend another half day struggle with this until I try change the file 's extension from . m4v to . mp4 . miraculously , once I do that , it play fine . would have be good to know this a day earlier . seriously ? seriously ? ok . so after all that , I finally have the proper -lrb- and somewhat tedious -rrb- direction on how to get these file prep to work on this thing . boy , let I tell you , you better not be the spontaneous type , because the the time it take to prep a video file for this thing be enough to kill the spirit of any group hope to watch a video outside on the fly . second major problem be the battery life . now , EVERY single write up I find online mention some fabled `` extended 5 hour battery '' for this thing . where ? where be it ? I 'll pay for it ! I have the money . 200 dollar ? fine ! fine ! where the hell be it ?! it do not exist . that be all there be to it . it be not real . do not buy this thing because of that `` 5 hour battery '' you have read about on every single tech blog that mention this projector , because it do NOT EXIST . so , as a alternative , there be third party adapter that do not come package with the proper cable to be use with the pk301 , so who need that ? yet another ridiculous brick wall separate I from really enjoy this projector . sure , you can find a extra batter -lrb- the exact same one that come with the projector -rrb- for 30 buck ... but where the hell be the 5 hour ? where ? where be IT?@!!!@!!!!! the next problem be the internal firmware . come on guy . Update please . and post the update on you website and make it easy to find and implement on both MAC and PC . this be just ridiculous . if one of my movie file be bigger than 2gigs it will not show up as a valid file ? be you serious ? why ? so I have to go through the messy process of trial and error in order to break my movie file up into multiple smaller file on order to use they on this projector ? this be absolutely unnecessary ! get in there and overhaul the firmware of this thing and update it ! make it better ! add more codec ! allow for the recognition of larger file ! release the extended battery ! what the hell be the matter with this company ? it could be so easy to dominate the pico projector market with these simple product adjustment and additional support . the other problem here be the provide cable . if you want to use you iphone or ipad , you 'll need to dig around and figure out what sort of adapter and nonsense you 'll need . I have not bother yet , but I be sure it will probably set I back another couple of hundred buck and about 4 daisy chained cable before I have thing set up . from what I have read online you 'll get you Iphone or Ipad connect , but the slightest movement could result in the cable lose they connection . you 'll have to jiggle they in order to get it back up . wonderful . why not one cable ? directly from the Iphone\/Ipad , right into the projector via usb or mini hdmus ? do this exist ? well , if it do , I be sorry I do not spend the better part of my week painstakingly search the deepest part of the internet in order to find it . I guess it be my fault . I 'll get right on that . let I free up my schedule for the rest of the month so I can devote every wake moment to comb the endless span of the internet in order to find this nonexistent direct connection ipad\/iphone adapter and `` 5 hour '' extend battery . to be completely honest , I would not be this upset if this product be not so so close to be incredible . I have thousand of movie and tv show save as AVI , DIVX , etc. . I be ready and willing to spend more money on a -lrb- good -rrb- extend battery . I would spend money on a simple Iphone \/ Ipad adapter . come ON . +468 Projector POS 5 Easy to install : I use two white metal chain link -lrb- about 1 1\/2 '' long heavy link -rrb- on each side , pass through the mount hole . then I use two white ceiling hook , place at the proper diatance , one for each side . I buy they at Lowe 's and they be specially easy to use , as you do not have to drill any hole or look for stud , just screw they into the ceiling plaster and they anchor themselves and support up to 60 lb each . next I hang the two chain link to the hook on each side and the work be do -rrb- . it take I several hour to think about this way of do it , but only 10 minute to install it . the screen be great and function well . I have and Epson 8500 UB and it be picture perfect . +971 Projector NEG 2 it begin show a huge black spot in the middle of the screen ! it work for a couple week at least . +495 Projector POS 5 I be look for a inexpensive projector for we church to use on movie night and 2500 luman seem enough to do the job . be a teacher I have use many projector in school as well as at conference some cost many time what I pay for this unit . when this one come in I plug it into my netbook and be amaze at the picture it have . it be not only very bright but the color be amazing . metallic color like silver and gold in the video I watch seem to shine out from the screen like sunlight hit real silver . further the sharpness and clearity of detail on hd video be better than any projector I have ever see when project 12 ' wide . the unit need no install software or anything to start it and the netbook sink up plug and play and they start on they own just by plug it in . I do later install they driver for the projector to try it at higher resolution . I run it for 6 hour straight with no issue to test it as I have read review that suggest it cut out on people and lose signal after a time . I have no idea what problem they be have it work flawlessly connect to my netbook . in short you could not find a better projector that be easier to set up and use for any price ! +463 Projector POS 5 I have to admit , that this be not the easiest equipment to put together , but that be mainly because it have to be versitile . all projector mount situation be not the same , so I can understand why the manufacturer do not supply specific instruction . if you be handy , or have someone around that be , I would highly suggest this . if you have trouble with assemble Ikea furniture , I would look elsewhere . in my situation , I have a drop ceiling with you typical cross beam above . this work out great , and I have be able to cut a 2 '' hole in the ceiling tile , and adjust the mount 's extention arm to the perfect height . this way I be not worry about duck under a projector constantly . White be a good match , as it would be for most ceiling . overall construction be sturdy , and not much movement once everything be tighten down . I would have a set of hex wrench ready , because although they provide you with one , it be necissary to have one on each side when really tighen . about 30-40 minute assembly time . +621 Projector POS 5 this be a impulse buy . my wife 's birthday be draw near and I know she would love a projector to watch movie together but I be not ready to invest more than 500 $ on something that we will not be use daily . I be very pleased with the purchase . pro 1 . less than 500 $ 2 . work for home movie ! 3 . bright at 2500 Lumens 4 . value for money if you use it for occasional view con : 1 . no hdmus input : - -lrb- 2 . low resolution i.e. no hi-def +110 Projector NEG 2 product quality be not what I need . the term hd be mislead . resolution be as advertise but be very grainy look . I recommend better resolution than this the picture be not clear . +154 Projector POS 5 just purchese the epson digital projector for we business . we love it . it be so easy to hook up , virtually nothing to it . buy at comp usa . probably could have save a few penny elsewhere but be quite pleased with we purchase . +93 Projector POS 5 we buy this projector for presentation at we gym and find it very easy to use with great picture quality . would highly recommend !! +357 Projector POS 5 I be in the tech field and I have be wait for the pico projector to come down in price . I just never expect one of this quality and feature set to sell for under $ 300.00 . I have look at the 3M one and some of the other but none come close to this 20 lumen switch blade of a Pico projector . I get mine about 3 week ago and I have be use it constantly . everyone who see 's it be like `` I be so get one of these '' . I like the fact that it come bundle with the cable require to connect you laptop . with other unit this be extra as well as a case . I purchase the IPOD connector kit so I could hook up my Iphone . it look awesome with video come from my Iphone . please note that the extra battery in the Ipod\/Iphone connector kit be for the pk101\/102 projector and will not fit in the pk201 . so bascially I 'll ebay that battery . the Arcsoft media software I be not so happy about . I try convert a video to the pk201 profile setting in Arcsoft only to have it not work on the unit . if I convert the same file utilize Arcsoft 's pk101 profile -lrb- lower video bit rate -rrb- then the file will play on the pk201 . I have a support case open with they about but its really a Arcsoft issue . I have work around that anyway by utilz other software to do the job . long story short be that I have do a lot of research regard the Pico Projectors , this be by far the best due to its brightness , input capability , resolution , and ability to play content on its own -lrb- build in media player -rrb- . those be some of the most important thing to I when I be look for a Pico Projector . do I also mention it utilize Micro sd so I you can have up to 16gb of storage . it be great just take this unit out without have to hookup any wire and play a movie or project a powerpoint . I have never write a review before and I hope this help you in select a Pico Proejctor . Cheers +50 Projector NEU 3 if you buy this to simply display from you pc as a general projector then everything 's all well and good , it will connect VGA - -rrb- VGA no problem . however if like I you buy this for its ability to connect as it say to Wii , Playstation and XBOX then you may hit a bit of a snag . the Wii be fine , since it run from composite cable , the standard be there . I can not speak for the XBOX as I do not have one however I be plan on use this both for work and for hook up my PS3 . I feel it be somewhat my fault for not read in to this more and visit specialist site but I go mostly on the page blurb . it state that it be compatible up to 1080p , even if it be not native -lrb- should have be my first hint -rrb- , and couple that with it say it be good for playstion make I instantly think `` oh it must mean ps3 '' after all what console would even need it to go that high if not PS3 and 360 ? I also see that you can get HDMI -lrb- PS3 connection -rrb- to VGA -lrb- projector connection -rrb- cable and the one I view on Amazon state : `` this hdmus to VGA hd15 -lrb- male -rrb- connect you hdmi-equipped device , hdtv -lrb- not from COMPUTER or laptop -rrb- to you monitor . the hdmi-equipped device include high-definition dvd player , hdtv receiver , projector , a\/v receiver , Playstation system . the cable support high-definition resolution up to 1080p '' excellent I think , I just need to plug the hdmus into my PS3 and the VGA into the projector , it support up to 1080p and I 'll just use my optical out into my speaker system for the sound , fantastic . no. . turn out after read the review panning the cable that HDMI from the PS3 be digital and VGA be a analog signal , mean that it can not physically be transmit from the PS3 to the projector -lrb- see a few site with people who have buy this complain about the same thing -rrb- without pass through a converter box , the cheapest be $ 40 and of dubious quality and go up to $ 200 . for that I can just buy the gt720 . native 1080p , HDMI connector for the PS3 etc. . say that I have return the projector for a refund and will most likely rebuy the higher range one , three star for the build quality , nice include backpack , the fact that it will be fine if you just have the Wii or a dvd player and it lose two star for be a literal mindboggle of a information page , look like it be fit for purpose when read between the line and a number of different forum make it apparent that when they say `` playstation '' and `` XBOX '' they really mean that literally as in first gen or ps2 at the most due to they use of scart . tldr : do not get if you want to show blu-ray or ps3\/xbox , major hassle , buy the gt720 . +929 Projector NEG 1 I get my proyector in the mail anf right out of the box it have a problem with the audio , could not fix the problem so a call amazon and they send I a new one the next day -lrb- amazon costumer service be exelent -rrb- I recive the 2nd one and everything work great for one hole day , i be very happy in till the hdmus port stare to act funny , the hdmus will lose complete signal , this be very anoying because everytime i have to desconect my ps3 or blue ray and hook it right back to get the signal go again !! I have 2 for a week and only be able to use it one day for about 2 hour ... . what a pain in the butt !! . . my son be upset because the thing do not work for he ps3 and it make my experiance on get this product soo miserable , I will not recomend this UNIT if you be plane on USING IT with HDMI PORTS !! IM RETURNING IT and GETTING MY MONEY back !! +547 Projector POS 4 I buy this a few day before I leave to Afghanistan where I know I would be live in a small room -lrb- thankfully by myself -rrb- . I read review of most of the pico out there and the pk301 seem like the best . bottom line : it be good for watch movie and presentation , but I would not use it as a secondary giant display for my computer . pro : \* it be small and light \* it be quiet \* it be pretty bright for its size \* I mount it to a dresser at the back of my room and project it to the other side -lrb- ~ 15 foot away -rrb- . it create a nice 8 ' diagonal screen which be great for movie . con : \* do not come with a remote -- this end up be useful since it be so small and easy to bounce around \* hard to mount and position for view . fortunately I have a spidery tripod for a camera that it screw to which make position of the projection easy . no more fumble with little pamphlet to pitch it up a half a degree . \* not that sharp for text . I try move the focus ring to get sharper text inside the display -lrb- when just use it attach to my Mac Mini -rrb- but the text be readable at best . I would not read a ebook while use it . \* you definitely want the light off or at least a fairly dark room . 50 lumen be the best out there for its size , but not good enough near a sunny window . I probably need to read the manual to learn more how to configure it , but it seem fine at 720p hook to my Mac Mini via the include hdmus cable . most movie look fine , some be choppy , which I suppose be not the projector 's fault . overall I be very pleased with this little guy and be shock at its size like everyone else . I think you give this technology another year or two and you 'll have some even better hd projector . +448 Projector POS 4 we have review the Optoma pk-201 pico projector on Picopros . it have virtually all the connectivity you would need and produce a sharp , bright image . see the full review as well as many other here : -lrb- ... -rrb- Paul Picopros.com +1 Projector POS 4 look for a bright , portable , quiet projoector ? this be it . great keystone control and color depth and brightness . only downside -- zoom effect be highly lack . do not expect to shrink or enlarge the image much once you have the projector set up . but for the money -- perfect projector . +35 Projector POS 5 I do not think I can say enough about this product . for a installation , it be perfect . the unit do have a thin skin -lrb- be strike by Wii remote and no issue so far -rrb- . and be bulky for travel ; if you intend to use it in a installation it be great . I mount my from the ceiling and the throw be perfectly suit for this . my price be 644 and this be a steal deal for that . it be bright , able to use it in a room that get muted sunlight -lrb- closed white curtain -rrb- and unshielded -lrb- naked -rrb- light -lrb- 3 of they about 75 watt each -rrb- . only in dark scene do I see shadow on the screen from wall and such behind the projector . this be my everyday tv screen . I have it connect to dish hd -lrb- 1080i -rrb- and with it project to a width of 9 foot you will be awed . watch football will never be the same . I have use the speaker and while it be weak against my 1000 watt thx amplifier , it be perfectly suitable to hear in a reasonably quiet room . pro : bright , short throw , simple setup , 1080p , good value . con : no horizontal keystone , large , appear fragile , no DVI input . +424 Projector NEG 2 I buy this projector because I though I look cool , when I receive it the box look like if it be cheap , when I open it it look very nice . when I turn it on the menu be a little hard to work , and the room have to be very very dark to get a clear image , and also the image quality be not good . I end up return mine and they customer service suck . +100 Projector POS 4 very good quality and value for money fifa10 be a pleasure to watch sometime rainbow effect be visible +450 Projector POS 5 I buy this as a gift for my husband . I test it out before wrap and wish I do not have to wait to give this to he . this be the first projector I have ever purchase and spend about a month research inexpensive projector before buy this one .

I do not have any complaint with this item and can not wait to purchase more favus item in the future ! +571 Projector POS 5 this be my second pj and I love it . it be smaller and brighter than the hc1500 I have . I want a 3d set up so I buy this along with the 3dxl and it have be a amazing experience . watch bluray be kick ass !! and play PS3 in 3D be too much !!! best purchase I have make in a looooooong time . - Abel Z. +168 Projector NEG 1 I use it on a monthly basis , and after a year all of a sudden white pixel appear all over the screen and the projector become no longer usable . it suck ! +717 Projector POS 5 this unit be just amazing . although the rating be 800x600 , you can display 1024x768 with excellent result . if no one tell you , you would not know that 1024x768 be not the native resolution . it be very light , and come with a remote that double as a mouse for you computer , which enable you to deliver presentation in a very professional manner . although the rainbow effect that plague early generation dlp projector be present at time with this unit , I be not bother by it . you can only see it if you look for it , but be non-existant if you be captivate by the movie or show you be watch . other point : - 1 composite video in - 1 s-video in - 1 vga in - 1 audio in - manual focus -lrb- that be a minus -rrb- - electronic lamp hour usage tracking - 4:3 , native , or widescreen -lrb- 16:9 -rrb- display mode - digital keystoning - it be as loud as a standard computer . so , at night you will notice it when all other sound be mute . that noise be usually cover up by the movie or tv sound or during the day by daily noise . finally , there be two extra bonus when you get the unit . - the bulb now last 4000hr instead of 3000hr as advertised - it be 1100 luminen instead of 1000 as advertised - the bulb price be down to 299 buck , which make it very economical +875 Projector POS 5 you do not need additional cable to mirror Ipad , ipad2 , iphone3g , iphone4 , iphone4 !!!! when I first get it I run some test , be initially disappointed it could not mirror my iphone4 . then I find out I have to buy additional cable -lrb- what the hell ?! -rrb- and be not happy about that ! so I start research ... . . after 2hours BINGO !! find a free solution ! if you have a jailbroken ipad1\/ipad2 or iphone -lrb- any version ! -rrb- goto cydium and search for tvout2 once u install tvout2 -lrb- it be free -rrb- , you will not need additional cable to mirror you ipad\/iphone screen !! just the include 3m cable be enough !!! it will mirror exactly what be on you idevice screen with the sound come out from projector ! can play angry bird or browse the net with projector ! that little application make this projector AMAZING ! without this amazing tvout2 app , the projector be 3 star due to additional cable requirement . with this amazing little app , projector be 100 star : d have fun you all +396 Projector POS 4 this be a solid mount . other than not include the screw\/bolt you 'll need to attach this to the ceiling , it have everything you 'll need . +550 Projector POS 5 i be use this projector in a linux -lrb- ubuntu -rrb- system . the quality of the image be perfect ... it be easy to set up -lrb- in fact , there be not necesary to do anything at all , just to plug it on -rrb- . the image size be always the same , it just depend of the projection distance . but the image resolution depend of the connection wire -lrb- if a s-video the max resolution be 800x600 , if VGA the resolution grow up to 1920x1200 ... -rrb- and the graphic card . i be project the movie to a white wall , and have a image size about 1.80 m diag with 3m distance between wall and projector . it be not necessary to turn off all the ligth because the high contrast ratio , but it be better if there be not a lot clarity in the room . +893 Projector NEG 2 I love the size but , picture quality be lack and I buy mine so my wife could use it at school in a room with the light off . I guess there be still too much light because it be impossible to see . I should have save my money . great concept just not bright enough +927 Projector POS 5 but , you will want to get a outboard subwoofer to complete the package . I add the Yamaha YST-SW215 subwoofer to complete the bottom end . the proof be when I invite friend over to watch a good sound drive dvd tell they that the main home theater system in the basement theater be be use by my son and he friend . we watch and soon they be ask about the Yamaha sound bar and that it be produce better sound quality than they larger , less discrete home theater system that they own . the Yamaha sound bar be versatile and have all sort of setting that you can mess with to you heart 's or ear 's content . everything from basic output of a news talk program to a `` lush with audio '' dvd to a ipod connection for just plain music . there be setting to satisfy most anyone and those setting product rich sound that a flat paneled sound bar such as this one have no right to reproduce , yet do . to be fair , if you be look or listen for the bottom end , the sound bar itself will not do it , you must add a subwoofer as I mention above . the feedback calibration function be extremely useful in allow you to get dead-on adjustment for your room , not some industry average . I have a particularly odd set up in that the room have a cathedral ceiling and a partially open back end that flow into a galley kitchen . I pay much more for this when it first come out , it be now down in price significantly as there be higher model now available . this be a excellent unit for those of you who do not want or can not have discrete component due to setup or space limitation . Hang it just under you flat screen tv and you have get about as small a footprint as you be ever go to get with top notch sound to boot . grant , it do not possess the heft of my full home theater unit at 200w into 7 channel plus Hsu Research subwoofer ... BUT bang for the buck , this unit will not underwhelm you -lrb- just add the subwoofer , the Yamaha sub unit that I have work just fine and you can let it kick out when there be no sub content in the source ! -rrb- . +553 Projector POS 5 excellent projector that be very easy to setup and use . if you plan on use a remote for presentation , you will need to buy another remote . the one list with this machine be only for the projector setup and operation and will not control the presentation . +973 Projector NEG 2 I purchase this projtor base on the mostly positive review . First of all please note that this be not a hd projector . it simply accept hd signal via HDMI for example and the video signal be be downsize to VGA picture quality . furthermore , the color be completely off . I be debate with myself if it be worth it to send it back and get another projector and ask friend who be over and the verdict be that this hurt they eye . do you research and be aware of these factor . if you want a better picture , then simply go with a name brand . +138 Projector POS 4 watch movie and play game in 3d on a wall-size screen will blow you away ! I replace my old BenQ projector with it . it be connect to my pc via 10-meter VGA cable . I be think about put new wire through ceiling , which would be pain . fortunately the 3d work at 1280x700@120Hz even with this VGA cable which amaze I . you dont have to enable 3d mode in projector setting for it to work . just make sure you nvidium control panel can switch into 120hz mode and back -lrb- i have a issue with it not recognize 1280x700 mode as native and not be able to kick into 120 hz mode so I have to add custom resolution from within the panel -rrb- . another thing be , you have to be in Projector only mode -lrb- in win 7 just press Windows + p to bring up display mode selection -rrb- for 3d to work properly . but once you get it go in 3d , the effect be so wonderful that you quickly forget about the set up bump . the downside , as usual , be the price of 3d shutter glass . +409 Projector POS 4 Pretty happy with this upgrade version . use this toy mainly for watch streaming video movie from Netflix . good for up to 40 in . on the wall in semi-dark env . link via s-video from laptop to composite video on the projector . buy a s-video to rca convertor . pro : - ultra compact - adjustable image size and color - always in focus - no noise con : - poor for view text -lrb- almost can not view any word in m word doc from VGA docking to laptop -rrb- look forward for hd and brighter laser pico projector in the future . +471 Projector POS 4 even on the std mode -lrb- eco -rrb- , the projector be seriously bright . you really do not need light on in a dark room while watch a movie . only negative be you do see the rainbow effect during dark background , could be my eye , but I be not expect to see rainbow on a 3d ready projector with 120hz capability . not so much to be a deal breaker thou . the detail on the video be pretty good and you really get the feeling of sit in a movie theater . I do not do any calibration and out of the box picture itself look pretty good to I . I do reduce the brightness a few notch , feel too bright otherwise . the remote control do not have a back light , but as I say , the room be bright enough to see even in movie mode . a little ambient light do not wash the image . that be a strong positive for this projector . I have not try the hd to its full extent yet , just try play movie use regular dvd player use rca and s-video . try a few movie and power point presentation by play via the VGA connectivity . thanks to Amazon , the projector be deliver super quick : -rrb- I have it within a week of order . the packaging be good too . I 'll definitely recommend it to the user . its a 720p that can play a 1080p stream . the detail be very good . Technically it have a native resolution of 1280 x 800 which be same as most laptop screen . so it be good for both play a movie or use it as a secondary laptop display for a high resolution presentation . +689 Projector POS 5 very nice sharp colorfull clear picture , a slient and great product . my living room have ambinet light and this projector will not cut it even in bright setting . good for light controlled setup . +982 Projector POS 5 Great for the price . very happy with it , recommend . they also have a electric one for more money but this one do the trick . +896 Projector NEG 1 this be my first projector and I do alot of research before buy it . it meet a most of the requirement in term of picture quality and brightness etc. . everything be ok for three month ... then the pixel start die , -lrb- which mean there be dark and light spot all over the screen -rrb- within one week we have close to 30 dead pixel spread across the screen . the Amazon 30 day warranty have expire so we contact Vivitek and that be where the real disappointment come . they never answer they telephone !!!!! they do not return message !!!! they do not answer e mail !!!! there be no way to get a human be at this company ... and I really try . they customer service be the worst I have ever encounter and will never buy anything marked vivitek again . I contact Amazon about this and they be give I a refund so I be buy a Epson this time . Adios Vivitek ! +63 Projector NEU 3 there be two main reason I buy this projector : 1 . the increase in resolution over my SVGA projector . 2 . the horizontal keystone correction so I would not have to have the projector perfectly square . the projector succeed in the resolution department as I can now easily read small text in the Netflix movie description . however , the horizontal slide correction do not work anywhere near as well as I have hope . it do function and help some but no where near the correction capability of my Uncle 's Panasonic pt-ae700u with lens shift . grant the Panasonic model be considerably higher price than this projector when it come out , I still feel Epson 's horizontal correction capability be overexaggerate in the diagram provide in the description . if you do not care about this feature this be easily a four star projector for the price -lrb- can not really knock it for be 720p instead of 1080p in this price range -rrb- . the minus one star if for a fan that be a bit louder than my old SVGA projector that be similar in brightness and rate at 2600 lumen , so the brightness be not the only factor in increase fan noise . ultimately , this be a upgrade to my previous projector and be probably a fair deal for the price but I feel it do not quite live up to some of it be claim . +510 Projector POS 5 just get my Electric Favi Screen 120 '' -lrb- hd-120 -rrb- , all i can say be perfect , im satisfied with the quality of the screen , the place on where i order it -lrb- Ace Photo Digital , 3rd seller party at amazon -rrb- they didnt use ups\/fedex to deliver the item but use this company call `` Home Direct '' and all i can say be awesome customer service , they be call I everytime to update the status of the item , the box be perfect and the delivery guy really handle the item with care . overall im satisfy . note : if you install this thing on a drywall ceiling like i do , i recommend use this anchor Red Head EZPPL100 E-Z Self-Drilling Plastic Drywall Anchor -lrb- 100 per Box -rrb- this be Screen be great with Epson 8350 on a 12 foot throw . +615 Projector POS 5 use it to show picture at a party I be at on the back side of the garage door . then hook it up to a blu-ray player and watch Scott Pilgrim vs. the World . be a great picture . it do need to be DARK in the room you be use it in , due to the 50 lumen . but for the price it do what it say it will . also need to hook it up to external speaker for sound as the internal .5 watt be obviously not enough . overall I highly recommend for those look for a extremely portable projector . if you want videophile quality this be not it , though . but then agian it be not market that way . +996 Projector POS 5 okay ... I have a bias , and I 'll admit it . I be a engineer by trade , and I have work on the design of Picoprojectors for 3M . so I know what go into they all the way down at the silicon level . there be several approach to get pixel up on a screen use as little power as possible -lrb- mostly have to do with how you turn the LED 's in the `` lamphouse '' on and off more quickly than the eye\/brain can notice that they be flash -rrb- . there be also way in which you can turn they on sequentially in red , green , and blue to illuminate what be actually a monochrome display module -- and then let the brain reassemble the three mono-colored image into the full color picture you think you see . what differentiate this projector from a number of other on the market be the amount of time 3M put into ask a fundamental question a lot of other people do not : `` how be the human eye and brain combination -- which be a part of the system -- stimulate most effectively by light so that the perceive quality of the overall picture be highest ? '' I should note that I be not a 3M employee , I be part of a engineering consulting business that do work with 3M . -lrb- a great company to have as a client , btw ... -rrb- but I have do video system design for dozen of people over the year . and 3M have they act together on this project to a greater degree than just about anybody I can think of . +531 Projector POS 5 Epson have go the full 9 with this projector . it be compact , come with most of the cable a majority of user will need , and even a nifty carry case to fit everything into . I think the part that impress I the most be the exclusive tech support phone number right on the bottom of the projector itself . clearly , Epson be aim for the business class and intend to stand behind they product . Easy Setup I recently get a Epson printer and have nothing but trouble with the software setup right from the get-go -- a tell-tale sign of a piece of junk in my book . well , it look like they get they act together this time around , by contrast , the setup for this projector be as uneventful as it should be -- no issue whatsoever install the software on win 7 pro 64bit ; just a clean seamless install and use . silly as it sound , that be often not the case . truth be tell , there be little to no setup if you be do slideshow presentation off a usb flash drive ; everything can be do on the project screen right out of the box . the same hold true of you laptop have a hdmus port -- just plug in the cable from laptop to projector and operate you computer as normal . but here be the real kicker ... Android Tablet projection via Toshiba Thrive Toshiba Thrive now that be forward think technology in my book . tired of all work and no play ? how about play Angry Birds project on a huge screen ? or maybe you be a app developer want to show you latest creation to a room of client . the possibility be endless , that be , if you have a thrive with full-sized hdmus port . speak of input this projector have every port I would ever want -- usb , hdmus , s-vid , rca -- even the arcane VGI port if anyone still have the need -lrb- eek ! I guess the only thing miss as a sd slot , which might have be good for certain slideshow presentation . but with all the other connectivity option , the oversight be no big deal . after all , at the end of the day , it be all just multiple option of do the same thing . image Quality & Brightness the quality of the project image be superb -- naturally some environmental factor come into play , such as , the surface be project on , and lighting environment . but I be able to get clean , crisp image , even in a room with the light on ! I be quite happy with how everything look . and yes , even text be crisp and perfectly legible . and it do not take much tweaking with the focus and projection angle to find the best setting . Perfect ! quiet the unit itself be fairly quiet . it do have internal fan to dissipate heat , but the sound be not distracting or loud by any means . over time , as the fan blade collect dust , that may change . but most time I can quiet down a noisy fan by just blast it with a shot of compress air . it get hot the projector do get hot quite fast and blow warm air from its vent almost immediately . it be not scalding hot or anything . and the manual do say you do not have to wait for it to cool off before pack it away . but it be just worth mention that it heat up fast . boot up this projector boot up and be ready to go in less than 30 seconds . so if you be run late and everyone be wait for you to get go , this Epson will not hold you back at all . remote Pretty much everything this projector do can be control with the wireless remote , include switching input source , e-zoom , volume , etc ; offer all the flexibility and control I would want or need . and I do not even have to point the remote directly at the projector to make it work ; in fact , I intentionally point the remote away form the projector at extreme angle and the ir signal reach the projector with no trouble at all . sound the build in speaker be surprisingly loud . it be not HiFi stereo or anything , but people should not have any trouble hearing audio during a presentation . Light & Compact this projector be not overly bulky or heavy , which be great , because I be disabled and do not need to lug bulky , heavy peripheral around . I have some application for this in mind which will all occur on the road , so this lightweight projector be a plus for I . it be about the size of one of those big 4 '' 3-ring binder , only nowhere near as heavy as those get if load to the max with paper . another nice touch be the carry bag be mark on the inside , remind I to put the projector inside with the lens face up -lrb- if it be face down and the bag be accidentally drop or set down too hard , the lens could shatter . -rrb- Bottom Line -- this be a pretty straight forward projector -- everything work as I expect and be easy to operate . I really do not need to refer to the instruction for much of anything . this be a great projector , and compare to how expensive these use to be , the price be good for the quality . I do not recall the brand I use to use in the past , but I remember it be 3x the cost of this Epson , and do not have all the feature . but then , rapidly change tech be just a sign of the time . if you do not need HDMI , Epson even offer a cheaper model than this one ; just figure out what input you need most , cuz there be no need to break the bank buying feature you 'll never use . though IMO , the HDMI be the most indispensable and the port I 'll use most . I may even project video off my hd video camera ! kudos ! +277 Projector NEU 3 seller ship it fast but the deliver company delay it by couple more day , but that be not a seller 's fault ... screen do not come with any installation screw for the mount the screen case to the wall . but once you prepare the wall for support the weight of the screen case , installation be a breeze . -lrb- I screw a 14 foot wood plank and screw it at all the stud point , then I screw the case to the plank , since the case screw point do not align well with the stud -rrb- Motor be not whisper quiet but quiet enough to be appreciate . wire control and both remote work very well . screen be thick and material be a good quality reflection material , you can easily see the gain in the reflect light . they claim `` you will never see any bump or wave in any favus screen . we electric screen technology have effectively eliminate the need for a more expensive high tension screen . '' , but I disagree with it . yes it do stretch the screen tightly every time the screen roll up , but during that process it form stretch mark which could become a wrinkle after few month or year . also the screen bow on the edge . it doe not affect the view area yet but I do not know how long that will be the case . it do look little bid ugly like roll down paper-roll with out a side stretch , I guess that be why you need a more expensive high tension screen . note : my screen be 150 '' so the bowing be little bid more than a 100 '' and 120 '' , bigger the size more be the bowing . if the bowing be not happen I would have give it a five Star . over all it be a good product , a cheaper alternative for a more expensive high tension screen with a compromise . when you pay 1\/8 or 1\/5 the price of a expensive high tension , screen compromise be expect . +536 Projector POS 5 I mostly use this projector for my dvd player and my game console . I find that it have a real crisp picture , and very easy to use . it be very compact and very portable . I be surprise . I would recommend this product to someone look for a projector . +752 Projector POS 5 I buy this projector in September , so far i havent get any problem with it , if i need to tell any bad point that would be that Aaxa dont make they with more that 110 lumen output . +246 Projector POS 5 first , let I explain my set up . I purchase this projector for the great room in my new home , which I move into in December 2010 . I have it ceiling mount and have a hdmus and power supply build into the ceiling , so I would not have any wire hang down . I use the projector for DirecTV -lrb- HD -rrb- , Blu Ray movie , my karaoke player , and my Wii . I have two HDMI switch , which allow I to go back and forth between the projector and my Samsung plasma tv . I be use this projector with a ceiling-mounted , 80-inch screen -lrb- also purchase via Amazon -rrb- . while I do not use the projector as my primary tv , I do use it when I have company over or want to watch a movie . it could easily be one 's primary television , but the picture be not as clear as that on my plasma tv . obviously , the picture be better at night than during the day , but it be bright enough that it can be use during the day . I have a Super Bowl party -lrb- the game start at 4:30 here -rrb- , and everybody comment on how cool it be to watch the game on the projector . I do not get any complaint about the picture . I initially think the projector could project up to 300 inch . I be not sure where I get that . it be possible I get confuse due to the ton of projector I be research at one time . there be no way -lrb- that I have find -rrb- to increase the picture size . it be about 80 inch ; it fill up my 80-inch projector screen just fine . the audio have not be a problem for I . I have ceiling-mounted speaker as part of my home theater system , so I would not have any need to use the unit 's built-in speaker . overall I be happy with the projector . I may move it into my bedroom and upgrade to something with a higher resolution that be a little bit brighter , but for the price this be a great deal . I have the coolest home theater setup on my block , and my friend love to come over for movie and karaoke night . what more could I ask for ? +688 Projector NEG 2 we have use this projector for less than 20 hour and be already get a lamp error replace lead blinking light . I will be test the 90 day manufacture warranty on the bulb . up until this issue I feel like I have a good product for the price . +506 Projector POS 4 this be a really bright projector and project very sharp image . need quite a bit of color adjustment out of the box but I get it to look really good . however , the DLP rainbow effect be very noticeable to both I and my son on this machine . what be odd be that we be replace another DLP projector and we do not see rainbow with the old one . the old projector be a SharpVision xv-z3000 -lrb- 720p\/1080i -rrb- . we think the reason for the DPL rainbow effect now be a issue with the BenQ vs. we sharp be that the Sharp be a 5x speed color wheel while the BENQ be only 4x speed color wheel . too bad ... I have to return the BenQ . I would have keep the BenQ if not for that since it be otherwise a really nice machine . we wind up get a Epson PowerLite 8500ub . very nice machine right out of the box -lrb- in term of adjustment , performance in general , sharpness , black , etc. -rrb- - a keeper ! Amazon be awesome with regard to take the benq as a return . thanks Amazon !!! +398 Projector NEU 3 I have have this projector for about 1 1\/2 year now . its get about 2700 hour total on it . for the price it be be a fantastic projector . however , unlike my old much more expensive Optoma projector that last for year , this one be die before even burn through the first bulb . it begin with just a few white spot , but over the past few day it be like a disease of white and dark spot grow on the picture . for some reason mirror just seem to keep die and spread by the hour . I be a loyal Optoma user , in fact I be upgrade soon to the hd33 . I understand this be a cheap unit with only a 1 year warranty , but I be hope Optoma will do something , the dlp mirror should not be die this soon . I 'll update the review if they do . +161 Projector POS 4 love it only give it 4 out of 5 star because i be unable to adjust the stop point of where the screen stop when comee down +947 Projector POS 5 I think it be go to be hard to install but it turn out to be quite simple . its be strong and sturdy and I feel my proyector be safe . +413 Projector NEU 3 there be no Zipped carry case or wwi\/mfi license Apple connection kit in the box as state on the original order ... what be in the box ? optoma pk201 Pico Pocket Projector WWI\/MFI license Apple connection kit ac power adapter rechargeable li-ion battery usb cable -lrb- type a to Micro -rrb- Universal AV cable VGA cable to universal 24-pin adapter zip carry case quick start guide with Arcsoft serial number label , um -lrb- store on memory -rrb- , warranty card +457 Projector POS 5 I be enjoy the picture quality of the projector . I currently have it at about 110 inch wide . which be great !! the price be also a factor and it be a great deal ... I just buy another one for my brother and he can not wait to get it in the mail ... I have recommend it to other family and friend . a MUST BUY !! = -rrb- +963 Projector POS 5 very easy to set up , sound great ! . I have 10 ' ceiling and a `` l '' shaped room . I do not want to go to all the trouble of install tradional speaker . I be please with this product ! +80 Projector POS 5 I get this projector within 3 day of purchasing , it be ship half the globe to middle east . it be a perfect purchase and delivery from amazon . thank you amazon . . when it come to the projector , I have be use it now for over two month , its as perfect as you wish it to be . I be use it as my primary visual device -lrb- i do not have a tv set -rrb- . so I be connect my satalite reciever , my Mac minus and my dvd player . all workk perfectly . the 720p hd picture be very crisp , I almost see no difference compare to the 1080p . however , it be a bit of a blow when it come to the 3d , I contact optoma to ask about the 3d capability and how can I watch 3d on it , they say I can not watch 3d video on it yet , mean I can not connect my cable tv or blue-ray player to it and play 3d , I will have to buy a 3d adapter -lrb- like the optoma 3d-xl adapter -rrb- in order to play 3d . I be expect it to be 3d capable and ready without any adapter , but its not the case . anyway , i be very happy about my purchase , will post another review if i manage to get the 3d-xl adapter . i give it 3 star in the 3d attribute cuz u can not play 3d without a adapter . thanks +247 Projector POS 4 it be now 2007 and I buy this projector in 2003 and it be still run strong . I use it to watch tv and dvd . about half a year ago the bulb pop and I have to replace it . this be expect to happen at some point , but HP do not make it very easy to order the bulb online , you have to call and then they can not find the part etc. . and it be quite expensive -lrb- $ 500 -rrb- . the only other complaint I have be the noise level of the fan . ohter than that it run perfectly and very reliably and have never fail I . +326 Projector POS 5 at first I didnt believe that you could get a decent projector for just over $ 300 , and when I open the box I didnt expect this little thing to be very good , but I be wrong . this little powerhouse put out a very sharp bright and colorful picture . the contrast be much greater than a lcd type projector . and I dont see what all the complain be about with the input . you can purchase a VGA to RGB cable for very little money on Amazon and use the component output of you dvd player . you will get a much higher re picture . I have put this thru the test for a friend of mine and I must say ... I want one now . it be small , come with carry case and basic cable and I love the way the remote slide into the top of the projector for storage . very well design and cheap to keep . replacement lamp be about 1\/3 that of other projector . highly recommend . +338 Projector POS 4 1 . VGA output from connection to portable laptop : Adequate due to focus problem , i.e. unfocused image across the breadth of the projection which come from a distance of approximately 12 ' in this case . furthermore , focus the image adequately with the focus wheel be somewhat difficult . however , if the operator fiddle long enough with the focus , one can generally see a clear image over most of the projection if the projection be nearly perpendicular to the wall with minimal skew . although 12 ' be outside the range suggest by the manufacturer , the Optoma pk201 have focus problem even at shorter distance , e.g. 9 ' . the hdmus capability beg a user to connect the pk201 to a computer and project the desktop onto a wall as a replacement for a large screen tv . currently , the latter process do not work well because not all quadrant of the project image be in focus at the same time . personally , I would love to use this capability with my speech recognition system while browse the InterNet , but a project desktop consist of text be very difficult to read . in order to read the fuzzier text , heavy use of the web browser 's zoom capability be require which cause other problem . Optoma , you blow it here and I fully expect you next generation of micro projector to precisely focus all quadrant of the project image simultaneously . I will not be as forgiving if this problem reoccur in succeed generation . no excuse . 2 . thermal : a purchaser would not want a micro projector produce greater heat . personally , excessive heat might be play a role in the focus problem . with the current design , 20 lumen be about maximum for micro projector use lead dlp -lrb- currently -rrb- and passive cooling . employ laser diode instead of led be a option for micro projector , but I be unsure which option have the greatest luminosity per unit of thermal output . 3 . luminosity : the projector be barely acceptable at 20 lumen . unless one restrict the usage of they micro projector to nighttime hour , do not buy a micro projector with a rate output less than 20 lumen . the projection from the pk201 can be see in a room with some indirect exterior light so the brightness be acceptable . 4 . battery life : marginal at best . buy another battery as a spare . you 'll need it . 5 . the power switch be too small . 6 . one can replace the include conversion software with Handbrake if the user be willing to fiddle with the setting . personally , I use avidemux 2 to convert video for the pk201 , but Handbrake will work as well . thanks to legondaree on the Handbrake forum for these selection for use with Handbrake : a. Select the `` iPhone & iPod Touch '' preset . b. Set output format to `` mp4 file '' c. Set Video \ Video codec to `` H. 264 -lrb- x264 -rrb- '' d. Set Video \ Quality to `` average bitrate -lrb- kbp -rrb- : 1500 '' e. Set Advanced \ b-frame to `` 0 '' f. Disable Advanced \ CABAC Entropy Coding g. Set Advanced \ Motion Estimation Method to `` uneven multi_hexagon '' h. in `` Picture Settings '' , select a maximum width of 720 and height of 480 and set Anamorphic to `` none '' although , I initially think about return the pk201 due to the difficulty in focus and the minimal life of the battery , I have decide to keep it as one can get a readable image across most of the screen if the aforementioned precaution be follow and one can always purchase a additional battery . the pk201 be a good micro projector and worth $ 300 , but the difficulty in focus and the minimal life of the battery detract from its usefulness . remember , technology will continually advance these micro projector so one have to weigh various factor before decide to purchase . personally , I do not think either the pk201 or pk301 be mature enough yet although they be close . the next generation of these micro projector will probably see much wider adoption of these device . I suspect 30 + test lumen will probably be the minimum output and at least 90 minute of battery life before these device see wide acceptance . in conclusion , the pk201 will work nicely for display picture and video as a slightly out of focus condition will not generally be noticeable in part of the image . furthermore , if the pk201 be use primarily in a room with indirect light , e.g. all shades pull during daylight hour , or at night , the brightness of the project image be adequate . the pk201 can also be use to display text , but slightly out of focus text can be maddening after awhile . personally , I be able to use the pk201 to project my desktop while browse the InterNet with my speech recognition system if I heavily zoom my web browser to enlarge the text and precisely fiddle with the focus wheel . the latter can be do with some difficulty and the text be largely readable so all be not lose . I have decide to bump my overall rating from 3 to 4 . the pk201 be so close to meet the requirement for many application and it be a very good buy if the intend use be primarily for view picture or watch video . +43 Projector POS 5 I be very happy with Moviemate so far . I be pleasantly surprise by feature not mention in other review . - Plays MP3 CDs , 12 hour or more of music on a mp3 cd create on you computer or purchase . the onscreen display be nice and complete , as well as the built-in console display of track information include title . the onscreen display be easily turn off -lrb- even with the remote ! -rrb- to preserve lamp life turn the unit into a great sound tabletop music player with sub-woofer and remote that will play all day long . - Sleep timer . the sleep timer be very useful in `` tabletop music player '' mode above . the unit can be set to automatically turn off at up to 150 minute or whenever the program end in `` auto-standby '' mode . +728 Projector NEG 1 could not read basic type from a computer monitor . totally illegible and pointless . i be expect a cute little energy efficient projector that at minimum could show email and such in meeting but this thing be useless . +556 Projector POS 4 my fiance and I just recently purchase this projector as a replacement projector for we home Theater and love it . it be easy to set up and we be watch movie and tv in no time . the picture be fantastic for the price and be well worth it . if you be look for a entry level projector that will surprise you this be the one . +4 Projector POS 5 Great Product . Luv it ! arrival time be earlier than expect . now I can watch my laptop on my 40 '' flat screen tv . thank you so much ! +921 Projector POS 5 the projector be receive in good order , function accord to specification and my interaction with GRAHAMGANNON & Co have be cordial and helpful . +444 Projector POS 5 this amazing little piece of technology have blow my mind . I turn my empty bedroom wall into a 50 '' screen . I have show family member travel photo at a moment notice . I have impress a few young woman at the bar . quite simply , you have the ability to project a screen of vary size anywhere - it be quite the feat and really quite fun as you watch other `` ooh and ahh '' at this technology . enjoy ! +981 Projector NEG 2 I buy the p1 Jr. . Pico Projector specifically to plug into my ipad 2 and iPhone 4 . note that the unit do not come with any ipad\/iphone connector cable . it do come with Composite AV cable so I buy the $ 50 Apple Composite AV cable to use . the Apple cable do not work . after contact support , I be tell I have to buy the $ 25 iphone\/ipad connector cable from they . I buy the cable from they only to then find out the projector do not project everything . it only project YouTube and Apps that have be specifically write to allow project . keep in mind I have the ipad 2 . it project everything when plug into my regular projector or tv . that be a feature of the ipad 2 , you can plug it into a tv and everything get display . unlike the original ipad 1 that do require app to be write to allow external viewing . I spend almost $ 200 on the unit and cable to find out it do not project the internet . major fail . if want this unit to project the internet , it will not work . the projector itself be very small and nice . the display be fairly decent when use in a dark room . however if you want to project Internet , it will not work . +354 Projector NEG 1 I buy this for new comer briefing for my business . it look good but that be about it . none of the input work . after follow the instruction and plug in a VGA cable to start with , there be a `` no sync '' screen showing . then I try different input include hdmus and s-video to no avail . I have own a few projector and this be product be just a waste of money . I end up purchase a pocket projector with the build in hard drive and good battery life -lrb- mpro150 -rrb- . +899 Projector POS 4 projector look and work great out of the box , get the universal mount that amazon offer as a `` bundle '' and it fit well . I have a 120 '' image at 14 ' throw distance and it be stunning at night or with blackout curtain over the one small window . it be visible but not nearly as impressive with light on . unfortunately , on day 2 we hear a loud POP and it stop work . take it down and there be break glass -lrb- and I have since learn , mercury gas -rrb- everywhere . apparently this happen to a few lamp out of each batch that be defective - they explode within the first few hour of use . Amazon immediately offer exchange of whole product or partial refund to buy a new lamp . I opt for the latter and just now order the replacement lamp . I have always be impress by amazon 's customer service , it be what keep I come back , but have to wait another week to use the new projector stink . I 'll update this on how thing turn out . +490 Projector POS 4 the Epson VS Series VS315W 3LCD Projector 2800 Lumens be a nice projector to use for school project or work presentation . I use my projector for a PowerPoint presentation and it be amazing no hassle or fuss . I use the adapter cord to plug it into my laptop and it allow I to watch video , Youtube , and any other website you want to put on you projector . even though this projector do not come with a screen you really do not need one I use the white wall and even a dark color wall and the picture be just as vivid and clear . the initial set up be easy my 13 year old son do it all by himself . the only complaint that I have with this projector be that the bulb put out a good amount of heat and the fan do little to cool the projector off , also the speaker be very low and you have to have a completely quiet room to hear they or else the sound seem slightly distorted . the Epson Projector also come with a easy to use remote that operate the projector so that you can show you project or presentation in a professional manner . minor flaw but overall great projector . +179 Projector POS 5 as long as you be not work in a big theater , this be a terrific projector for everyday presentation . it be one of the least expensive on the market , and easy to use right out of the box . the control be super-easy and the hook up simple and clear . a nice sharp , bright image in a very small and lightweight package . +795 Projector NEG 2 I purchase a 3M portable projector last year . the cable that connect to my pc usb drive appear to have malfunction and the supplier do not have the replacement , which be strange . without that basically I can not use the projector +961 Projector NEG 2 I purchase this product because I do not want to spend a whole lot of money , but I want to be able to watch movie on my wall in my house . I purchase it basically know that for the cheap price , it would not be that great , but I have hope for some reason that it would be passable and get the job do . but I be wrong . with most of my movie , I could not even make out the identity of the character that be show from the movie . I do not recommend get this product as it be a waste of very valuable money on my part . if you really want to buy a projector , then I recommend save up you money to buy a really great quality one -lrb- the really good one average from about $ 500 and up -rrb- . but , if you do buy this product , here be a tip : although the picture be barely recognizable , it help if the surface you be project on it very large . again , I do not recommend this product at all . I recommend save up for a quality one if a projector really something you want . +839 Projector NEG 2 we church also have get this unit , only use it on Sundays . have it for under one year and the bulb go . say it have 72 % leave on it , hardly no where close to 2000-3000 hr . life . not happy with bulb . +663 Projector NEG 2 this be a good concept however the delivery of the product be cheap at best . the container be make of metal that be too thin to actually hold together . critical bracket be break when I receive the unit . also the screen be dirty and this should never happen in a new product . would not buy another one . +675 Projector NEU 3 I purchase this mount because of the good review . over all it be a good mount but even with the include extension arm it be not large enough for my Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8350 . I make it work use only 3 of the 4 mount hole +167 Projector POS 5 I get mine on sale last year . what a bargain . great pix , versitile , & super bright ! we can watch it in the daytime it be so bright . I use it on the road for my show so it get use & abuse a lot . it be still run perfect on it be original bulb . when it be not on the road it be use as my primary widescreen tv at home . this unit will not show full the resolution of true quality hdtv , but do a excellent job . many hdtv signal have be downscale , upscale , dowscale again , recompressed , & reprocess so many time by the time it reach you home , most of the channel be not true hdtv quality anymore anyhow ... esp . signal through cable & satellite . I guess the FCC have not pass any law for hdtv quality yet . the unit have more than enough resolution for ordinary DTV & DVDs . for some reason , I do not get eye fatigue like I do watch other projector a few hour . the factory preset be not that good & seem to be for watch ordinary analog TV & VHS tape . fortunatly it come with 3 user settable preset with a very wide array of setting & tweak that make it a top quality performer . I buy the component input adapter for it from Infocus . the quality of the adapter cable be poor & pick up plenty of RFI . also after carefully unplug it only a few time , one of the connector fall right off the adapter . poorly , cheaply design adapter concider most infocus product be specifically design to be use on the road , set up & tear down easily & quickly all the time . the connecter for my other road equipment do not break after year of heavy use . fortunately for the road & at home the s-video connector do a excellent job . do not ever use the ordinary rca-jack style composite signal jack on a hi-end tv or projector . the signal will not be good enough . any good tv will just make the poor signal quality more obvious . the above reviewer must have get a bad unit or one that be bang around during shipping , or be drop . these be durable unit , but with too much bang around , you 'll have problem the reviewer describe . the grind sound come from the color wheel or blower fan be knock out of alignment . I also own they older lp-350 xga model & use a few of they other model . so far I be very happy with all of they I have use . although my very old lp-350 still work like new , I have do some mod on it & the lens to increase the contrast ratio , brightness & bulb life . I be surprised that if I can do it , that infocus do not offer a mod plan for they to do it for a price . they will not even sell spec & technical service datum on they old machine . I guess they want you to pay a arm & leg for they to do repair , or buy a new one . I have have to fix a few infocus projector out of warranty after they be bang around or just get well use & old ... with no help or sevice datum from infocus , even though it be request . fortunately , dlp projector have be around for a while now , so there be plenty of qualify tech familiar with they in just about every town who know how to fix , mod , & upgrade they at a fraction of the cost infocus will once they be out of warranty . from what I read in the past , you be better off send it to a local tech with experience with dlp machine for repair rather than back to InFocus . they seem to do a better job cheaper , & know what they be do . Infocus will not even to tell you where to get special tool need to take they apart . I wonder if they know how to service they at all . it be one thing to build one , but another thing to troubleshoot & fix 'em . I give 5 star for the product , not for the service , because I service all my own equipment so do not need they . do not take these thing apart yourself people unless you know exactly what you be do & experience . you can ruin or destroy they if you be not very careful & knowledgable . +308 Projector POS 5 my previous experience with business projector be with heavy and clunky model that I haul from customer site to site , show presentation of one type or another . I be expect more of the same when I order this , although I hope it might be a little bit lighter . wow ! what a great surprise ! not only be this projector light -lrb- it weigh about 5 lb , about the same as some laptop -rrb- , the finish of it be wonderful - all of the corner be round off , mean a whole lot fewer snag nylons . it be a cinch to hook up to my MacBook , just plug and play through the usb port , and off we go . the software cd that come with the projector install with no problem at all . I find the display to be adequately bright , and the whites look white , not yellow as with my older projector . it also handle animated presentation with no delay , which be a big deal to I . all in all , I be delighted by this little guy . it be easy to travel with , and do everything I need it to do . it have a remote control , so I can set up the projector and give the presentation from anywhere in the room . -lrb- yes , my previous projector be that old ! -rrb- a carry case be available , but I find that a old laptop case work very well for I , although I would get the `` right '' case if I be go to travel as much as I once do . +465 Projector POS 4 I just receive my pk201 and , so far , I be happy with it except for one important point : the item description on this page clearly say `` connect to -lrb- ... -rrb- ipod , iPhone & iTouch with include bundle connection kit '' . however , the `` include bundle connection kit '' be not actually include - you 'll need to purchase that separately . oh , and the `` Optoma BC-PKAIDUS iPod kit '' also list on this page that allege you can `` connect to a ipod or iPhone for high quality view on-the-go '' do not -lrb- accord to other reviewer -rrb- connect to a iPhone . +272 Projector POS 4 I be in the market for a cheap projector to use for movie until I have the money for something worth spend a lot of money on . I start off buy the Discovery Wonderwall projector for $ 70 and then promptly return it as the image quality be very poor -lrb- I could not read subtitle -rrb- and it be not bright enough to project a dark scene -lrb- e.g. the cave see in lord of the ring -rrb- even in a totally dark room . I then get the pt100 and feel that it work very well for be under $ 200 . it be a clear enough image that the subtitle in a movie be easy to read . however , when hook up to a pc the word on the desktop icon be not clear enough to easily read . it be bright enough that about 90 % of the detail can be see during dark scene -lrb- e.g. the cave see in lord of the ring -rrb- . it do need to be use in a dark room to have any quality . I would say the image quality be similar to VCR\/analog tv with the benefit of a small , lightweight package that be versatile and can project a large screen size . +121 Projector POS 5 I scour the internet for month look for the right projector , and land upon this . I be look for something around $ 1k or less , which have 1080p re , long lamp life , good warranty , and that be good for gaming . I have be run this for almost 1000 hour and the picture be still like day 1 . the color be very well calibrate out of the box , that only require a slight amount of tweaking for you perfectionist . the black level , for a projector of this price be pretty good . it do not compare to a lead monitor , but for the size of screen you be get , who really care imo . I could have buy a 50 '' lead tv for the price of this w \/ screen include , and to this day would not have change my decision . a couple week into use the projector the lamp die and go through the warranty process for a replacement be quick and easy . no shipping charge and have the replacement bulb within 3 day ! the only thing that I have against this projector be it be placement flexibility . to really get the picture as crisp and spot on as it should be , you need a very flexible setup , like a higly adjustable mount or a adjustable table . I be rent so I can not mount it ; it be sit on a makeshift bench-table-thingy , lol which require I to set keystone to 1 with slightly unsquare edge . not the best but not the worst either . pro : - great color and calibration feature - crisp picture -lrb- more uniform if you can place it correctly -rrb- - no lag when gaming -lrb- a plus feature of dlp versus lcd projector -rrb- - great lamp life and warranty - very quiet fan when in `` low '' lamp mode - small size -lrb- way smaller than the EPSON 8350 -rrb- con : - no lense shift and high picture incline = somewhat difficult placement - slight `` rainbow effect '' I think it be call . the DLP chip use a 4x color wheel , not the 6x + you find on high end projector , which mean you can detect the seperate Red , Green and Blue project color sometimes -lrb- like if you move you eye away from the light quickly -rrb- . it be in no way distract for I , but if you be highly sensitive to it , go with lcd projector . before you consider this decide whether you want dlp or lcd . lcd produce higher black level -lrb- although I have read they be not produce as well as dlp 's -rrb- and do not have `` rainbow effect '' . however , dlp projector have better response time -lrb- beneficial when gaming -rrb- , which equate to smoother video . dlp projector do not show pixel near as much as lcd 's , and be much smaller in comparison . after this it be just a matter of find the right model . which bring I to ... get this projector ! it be a great value for the quality of image you be get . it be perfect for gaming on a big screen ! and video be great too of course . I would reccommend this for a screen size up to 110 '' . any more than that and you would need a projector with higher luman output . I have a 92 '' and I think it be perfect . +181 Projector POS 5 on a `` tight '' budget for you home theater need ? that be I . I decide not to go above $ 1,500 between audio and video ... well , that be a bit unrealistic if you also count cable and setup , but the Optoma ezpro 737 will get you one step closer to you goal . here 's why . it be by far the best bang for you buck , among the sub - $ 2,000 projector . it boast DLP technology for a crisp picture , with a very decent 1800:1 contrast ratio and 1,500 ansus lumen which - along with the native xga 1,024 x768 resolution - make it a great solution for you projection home theater need . if you be not extremely critical , you will even find that it perform very well even if the room where you project be bright -lrb- during the day -rrb- , but I would recommend make sure you have proper blind or projection at night for best result . in any case , if you do not pick this projector , make sure you do not purchase anything that be under 1,500 lumen . ah ! do I mention that it support hdtv ? that be what the xga resolution be all about ! now , on to the hidden cost . since you will be mount on the ceiling -lrb- most likely -rrb- , unless you be extremely handy , count on some $ 400 - $ 700 in installation cost , which may only include labor for run cable to you receiver\/box plus the actual upside-down-mounting to have it hang upside down , etc. . as for you cable , depend on how far you need to run they , they may cost anywhere from $ 50 to $ 150 buck -lrb- tip : get the 50 ft m1-a to rca - component - extension cable from Dell for under $ 50 ! -rrb- all in all , this projector be the best thing I have find out there to meet all my video home theater need : quality image and support for hdtv , plus it will not cost you a arm and a leg -lrb- compare to almost everything else out there these day -rrb- . just jump into it know that you will have to spend some $ 600 or more to get it set up for good . +533 Projector POS 5 I finally get around to remodel the bedroom and do a little over and beyond the `` honey do list '' . since we be remodel , my wife finally agree to a tv in the bedroom but do not want any wire , amp , speaker , ect . in the room to clutter up the new clean look . so I hang a flat panel with this Yamaha ysp-1100 under it . -lrb- I highly recommend the wall bracket for a application like this -rrb- . the sub be hide in a undisclosed location and yes I hide the wire . step 1 complete . step 2 require I to make it work and make it easy . the auto-calibration feature be a snap . my bedroom be rectangular and the ysp-1100 sound amazing ! there be sound come from all around the room but look honey , `` no speaker '' . I program it be `` my Beam '' feature and so when one of we nod off , the other can still watch tv and not get the `` can you turn it down '' line . well it pass inspection from the Executive Director of the Interior aka the Mrs ! bottom line , it sound amazing , look cool and I highly recommend it . in fact , now my condo-livin ' brother-in-law want one and yep , it be be add to he `` honey do list '' . +631 Projector POS 5 this projector ia fantastic !! I make a giant screen use PVC pipe and a sheet and use projector to have a `` float in '' out by the pool . projector be bright , beautiful picture quality , convenient to use since the dvd player be part of the projector and easy to set up . the only down side be sound quality . the 10 watt speaker in the projector be just not loud enough to be hear around the yard . I attach speaker to system to get around this . but truly the picture quality and ease of setup make up for this tiny problem . this projector be well worth the money !!! I can not wait until superbowl roll around . I 'll have the biggest screen in town ! buy and enjoy summer night with friend and family . +145 Projector NEG 1 UNFORTUNALLY I have to SAY that this item be the worst thing I have VER BOUGHT in MY LIFE , I do weekly presentation at work & GUESS what , I almost lost my job over this item , it work fine a COUPLE of TIMES & THEN IT just stop it just would ` nt do anything . please DONT BUY UNLESS you know HOW to fix it ... SORRY +280 Projector NEG 1 these bulb be junk . the first one I buy blow in 3 day . they send I a replacement -lrb- Projector World -rrb- and it blow within 10 minute of install it . do not bother try to save money , it will be a huge pain in the long run and you 'll regret try to save any money . +696 Projector POS 4 I will update this review after 6 month with the product . initial impression : Beyond expectation . wow ! silent operation . function well . very happy that I do not settle for 720p ! I use my projector as purely a tv replacement for my living room , display the htpc or xbox360 via HDMI . I project a 97 '' image at 11.5 ' from the ceiling onto a wall paint with Behr Silverscreen . even with a lot of ambient light , include ambient sunlight -lrb- though uv window film -rrb- , the picture be bright and viewable . of course , as you subtract ambient light , the picture just get phenomenally better as black quickly deepen and color come alive and pop . functionality wise , this unit be very simple . everything be well lay out and it respond well to the remote -lrb- same exact remote as my previous Viewsonic pj766d -rrb- . power-on and warm-up to full brightness take between 15-30 seconds , I would guestimate . source change be very fast . hdcp handshake seem to work perfectly . Default brightness be set to `` normal '' . `` boost '' be not a whole bunch of extra light , but it be noticeable if you see the mode change . this projector be QUIET . it have three big fan that move a bunch of air and a ton of heat , but it be just plain silent at any distance . this unit have really good black level for a entry level 1080p crossover projector . Colours be bright , vibrant , and appear to be very correct right out of the box ; I will not be tweaking any color until I repaint my wall with rs-maxxmudd . I be sure there be always something better to be have , but this be great ! minimal\/virtually no rainbow effect , even if you try to force see it , thanks to the new 6 -lrb- or 7 ? -rrb- segment color wheel instead of my old pj766d that have a 4 color wheel . resolution be , as expect , fantastic ! wonderful . out of this world . it take a little bit of back and forth to get the focus \* just \* right -lrb- have a helper be vital ! -rrb- , but once it be there , you can literally see a strand of hair on someone 's head while sit on the couch directly under the projector -lrb- 11 foot -rrb- . you can see that people actually have pore from that distance . dirt and sand be no longer just abstract definition for that muddy-brown or detail-less tan look stuff that people walk on or waft through the air . small , passive ` actor ' in the environment come alive when you step up to 1080p and have native content to display on it . even 720p native content look fantastic . I only suspect sharpness will improve once I sand my wall and have a smooth surface to deal project on to . 2 hdmus and 1 VGA be really the only input worth discuss in this day in age . I use both hdmi port via 25 ' BlueRigger cable , which work flawlessly -lrb- the cable and port -rrb- for hdcp handshake with Blu Ray movie from the HTPC . I would have like to see the VGA port swap out for a dvi-d or another HDMI port , or another digital option for connectivity such as DisplayPort . note : the BlueRigger cable I mention be very high quality , have a nice , soft flexible jacket that make it very easy to route thing and you also will not be fight a thick , heavy cable that be try to pull you projector out of alignment while it try to coil back up . and you can not beat the price ; I get 25 ' cable for $ 13 per here on Amazon . try find a 3 ' cable in retail store for less than $ 15 or $ 20 and you 'll find out what a great deal cable on Amazon be . pro : everything . brightness , contrast , black level , color , resolution , long lamp life , ease of lamp change , hdcp compliance , QUIET ! responsive remote . con : a little larger than I have expect , but I just do not do my homework on dimension . so , not really a con . as I note at the start , I 'll follow up after 6 month with the product . by which time it 'll be even more obsolete than it be already , but at least it should be lower in price and more available to people who want one , so maybe my update will help someone . +250 Projector POS 5 I be very happy with this purchase . the projector screen be truly excellent . I like the fact that it come with two remote control . I also like that the you can stop the screen at any height you want . the motor be very quiet and you can hardly hear it . the screen really make the color of my Epson 8350 Home Cinema 1080p projector really come alive a show its 1080p capability . I make my family room a home theater and it really look amazing . I would definitely recommend this product to anyone that want a high quality electric projector screen . buy it and you will know exactly what I mean . excellent price and excellent quality . the Favi hd-150 projector be under-priced . +455 Projector NEG 1 I just receive mine yesterday . it seem to work fine , however ... this morning the alarm do not go off . rather , the alarm did go off , I have it set to buzzer but simply be unable to hear it . here be why : the display dimmer control switch also control the volume of the Buzzer Alarm mode . this obviously be not intend during manufacture . the low setting of the dimmer control make the Buzzer Alarm BARELY audible , so faint that you have to put you ear very close to the unit to even hear it , and the high setting of the dimmer control seem to be the `` normal '' volume that should wake most individual . I be currently in contact with Timex await a response as to what exactly they intend to do about this major manufacturing boo boo . can you say ... recall ? +423 Projector POS 5 if you be read this chance be you already a tech-head and know most of the specifics regard projector . I be in IT and be quite pleased so far with this model-for the price , you can not go wrong . although it be not `` full-hd '' , it be a fantastic multimedia gaming projector . I have it hook up to my custom build pc and via 1.3 hdmus and run NVIDIA 3d on it . I think this be where this product truly shine and if you be plan on integrate this into a pc setup for gaming and blu-ray , you be look at the right model in my opinion . and there now down to $ 560 ! this be a fantastic deal at $ 610 when I buy mine 3 month ago ! +442 Projector POS 5 soon after I purchase my favus projector I decide to start shop for a screen to go with it . I want something big that could also be easily store away . since I be happy with the projector I decide to give favus another try . this screen work great ! there be no set up require and the metal case be build right in so I can easily hide it away when its not be use . a huge plus for I so I do not have to look at a BIG 100-inch screen when the kid be not play wius or have a movie night with friend . a + + super happy so far : -rrb- +356 Projector POS 4 this unit work great , the brightness isnt super high , but for the price and be able to have a huge screen on my wall be greeat !! +194 Projector POS 4 this screen be a lifesaver for we . monthly we have to set up a conference at a remote location and the screen there be inadequate . this screen allow we to get as close to the subject as we want , as big as we need it and as quickly as possible . from travel size to full size in 6 seconds flat -lrb- we time it -rrb- and ready for business . would like the top rail to be a bit sturdier , but otherwise ... it be a winner . +825 Projector POS 4 I buy this unit refurbish for $ 450 . I mount it to the ceiling and be use a samsung 6800 3d blu ray player for source via hdmus . pro : image quality be excellent as with most dlp 's have good black , color , sharpness brightness so this be good especially if you project on a huge screen in a large room not so good for smaller room . size be small for a better look theater enviroment . 3d ready 120hz you need a 3d blu ray player and a 3d converter like the optoma 3d-xl or Nvidia 3d vision with active glass fan noise be not too bad the unit do have standard and bright mode which the fan be faster in bright mode and slower on standard mode . price i get it for $ 450 it be go to be hard to beat this at that price or near it . color wheel 4xspeed con : zoom be minimal there be not a big window of error when place this projector . light leakage come from the front air vent and I have a black ceiling and I notice it if I have a light color ceiling it would even be worse . remote CONTROL I do not like the way it be design but it do function like it be suppose to . if you debate to buy this or the acer h5360 . if you can get the hd66 for $ 550 or under buy it . the hd66 have a faster color wheel 4x compare to 3x speed and a better contrast ratio 4000:1 compare to 3200:1 . the acer do have the darkchip 3 as the Optoma use the darkchip 2 , but the darkchip 3 can not even help pass the optoma 's contrast ratio so I think this spec be mute . +169 Projector POS 5 I be interested in the Epson 8100 projector for my customer recommendation and , possibly , for myself . I be a isf -lrb- -lrb- ... -rrb- -rrb- certify calibrator and I decide to do some research on the product . read through the review on other site and on Amazon , this projector be one of the best of it be class but ... I be take aback on the small but vociferous number of customer unhappy about the 4,000 hour rate lamp fail in as few as 400 hour . this make the product unusable for someone like I who have to recommend product and as a consumer ; the lamp be a expensive consumable at hundred of dollar to replace . worse , the customer complain that the 90 day warranty on this specific part do not match the two year overall warranty and after 90 day they be out of luck . now to sidebar , that kind of policy be just be cheap and , overall , \* stupid \* . one can not even use the projector bulb even close to that rate lifetime in 90 day ! 24 x 90 = 2160 ! how -lrb- place unflattering adjective here -rrb- be that ? back to the narrative ... I call up the pre-sale Epson customer support line today , 11-02-2010 . I be transfer to a gentleman that answer my question on this issue . ask about the report lamp problem , he relate to I that the policy be not correct and Epson warranty the product in its entirety for the FULL duration of the two year , lamp and all , and that it be even post at projectorcentral.com -lrb- I do due-diligence and look up the source and quote and be include below -rrb- I dig a bit deeper , and the rep related to I that the policy have change -lrb- although I do not ask for a specific date of they change of heart -rrb- and that some older machine would also have they warranty honor as well . he do mention to I the model , but I do not record they as I be only interested in a specific model . I ask he about the reason that Epson do not publish this information in other source besides projectorcentral like Amazon and the like . the reply be a fairly unsatisfactory answer that I will not go into here . but at least it be publish -lrb- below be the source and the info -rrb- . after ask a few tech question which he answer in a very forthcoming and friendly way , I close out the conversation . at least he be eager to assist and I be appreciative . take away : the product be cover for the whole warranty period . customer service , in this particular occasion , seem hammer by the question -lrb- s -rrb- on this but assure we that the product be indeed cover and also other model as well . ----- from projectorcentral.com -lrb- ... -rrb- . say Evan Powell , Editor `` I have speak to Epson about this situation . they have look into it and , like the dealer I talk to , they say they have not discover any aberrant issue . nevertheless , Epson want to ensure customer that it stand behind its product . therefore , Epson 's spokesperson have inform I that if you experience any problem with premature lamp failure on any Epson 1080p projector , you may return the lamp for a replacement lamp anytime during the life of the projector 's warranty . yes , you read that right -- premature lamp failure on any Epson 1080p projector will be cover for the entire duration of the projector 's warranty , not the lamp 's warranty . '' +451 Projector POS 5 screen arrive undamaged which be the main fear i have , have to pay to ship it back for a rma would have suck . but that be not the case it arrive in perfect condition and be pack well . installation and setup be simple . Quality be good , do not feel cheap or flimsy . come with 2 battery power remote and a wall mount unit . the wall mount unit look kind of ugly mount on the wall with two thick white cable come out of it -lrb- especially with dark gray wall -rrb- but really no other way around that unless you run power through the ceiling . Picture quality be much better with the screen than the wall i be previously project on , cant really compare it with other screen but the picture quality seem fine to I . screen speed up\/down be slightly slower than expect , not a big deal though its all the way down by the time the projector finish start up . also relatively quiet as far as motor noise go . finally i be able to program it into my Logitech Harmony remote with no problem , add it to a activity and make it the first thing to fire . it will be down by the time the projector warm up and up by the time everything else shut off . really cant beat it for the price , plus free shipping with Amazon Prime . would definitely buy again or recommend to a friend . +97 Projector NEG 1 I think this would be a good mount , and maybe it would be , if it come assemble . this crap come ship to I in a bunch of piece . the instruction be hard to understand , and just look at the first diagram , it be actually miss a part in the instruction . when try to assemble it accord to the instruction , some of the bolt be too short . the mixed bag of bolt and washer be also very difficult to identify which be which . in the end , I try every single possible combination and come to the conclusion that the bolt they send be WRONG . I would like to have the last hour of my life back which i waste try to assemble this piece of crap . they make this in China for $ 1 . do not buy it , go to home depot and figure something out for cheaper . +790 Projector POS 5 I be a teacher and be use two version of this projector currently in my classroom , the ex7210 and the ex3210 . this review include both general information about the two projector and describe the difference between they . General review of the Epson Multimedia Projector : applicable to both model the projector itself be smaller than I expect . it be also reasonably light and come with a carry case for easy transport . as teacher who move from room to room the portability be handy . the carry case have a strap long enough to throw it over you shoulder , a real plus when you be juggle stuff between classroom . the case have a front pocket for the power cord and remote as well . the manual and cd -lrb- for extra info -rrb- be originally packed inside this front pocket of the case . input : the projector be absolutely idiot proof when it come to input . you can push the button that say source search and it will find where you be try to input and start display the information . light output : light output be strong enough that powerpoint presentation can be see with the projector 20 foot away from the screen -lrb- this be as far back as I can get it in the room in partially light room . partially light in this case be define as the overhead light be off but the three window do not have blind . the room be bright enough that the student can easily see they papers and take note -lrb- and I can see the student ! -rrb- . these projector put out 2800 lumen -lrb- a luman be a unit of visible light emit by a source -rrb- . the school have 1500 luman projector , which I rarely use because the light have to be all the way off for the student to see the projection , and that lead to trouble . sound output : it have build in speaker and they be loud enough for use in a room with 50 student but just barely . in the smaller room with 25 kid it be great . if you use it with a laptop I would suggest add some speaker for sound . noise and Heat : they hum . the fan whir . not very loud but it be audible . they get hot , and fast . this be one problem because you need to let they sit for a few minute after use so the fan can cool the bulb down before you unplug it . that mean I have to remember to turn they off a few minute before class end . if you be leave it in one place this be not a problem . if you have to run , it might be . difference : want to watch movie ? you want the ex7210 with the hdmus input . I see two main difference between the ex7210 and the ex3210 -lrb- besides the color -rrb- . the first be the input . the ex7210 have HDMI input and a higher resolution -lrb- 1280 x 800 for the ex7210 and 800 x 600 for the e3210 -rrb- . the difference be clearly visible . if you be use the projector for video -lrb- or show movie -rrb- the ex7210 definitely provide a clearer picture . project on a screen from 10 foot away movie be clear , sharp and very little pixilation be visible . just want to use it for presentation ? if you be use the projector for business presentation -lrb- powerpoint and such -rrb- the lower end ex3210 be plenty good enough . I have often be use it to project a grid onto the classroom chalkboard for graphing . I can then switch to the next image with the answer and the student can see if they solution be correct . this be a godsend , as it be difficult to graph on a chalkboard with any accuracy without a grid . the projector even have a setting for the chalkboard , which take into account its greenish gray color and counteract the color change . it be bright enough to project a clear grid . the only small problem be keep out of the way so you do not block the image . and other use the projector can also be use in science class to project a clear slide of one color of light to show color absorption and reflection . I know this be not what it be design for at all , but it work very well for this purpose . I simply make a image of the various color I want to compare and since the projector use lcd to make the light the wavelength be very precise . although this will probably not be useful for most user it do show you how clear a projection the device yield . other issue : I originally try to use the projector with really cheap -lrb- think less than a cup of high end coffee -rrb- 25 foot long hdmus cable . this cause some problem , with the signal drop out every once in a while . Digital be either all there , or not . with a slightly better -lrb- think two fast food dinner -rrb- 25 foot cable I do not have this problem . the replacement lamp be currently just over 160 dollar on Amazon . since it be rate for 40,000 hour that be a lot of science and math . I can not speak to the price\/value for these projector -lrb- as I only have these and the school one but they be a lot better than the school provide one . everybody want to borrow they , and since they be easy to move around it be simple to loan they out . +793 Projector POS 5 in we business consultancy firm with 15 professional , do presentation be 60 % of we activity . this be we 8th Epson Projector and we love they . in fact we just buy another ex5210 as a backup . Easy to install , it accept any type\/brand of laptop graphic . most of we client react with a ` wow ' when they see the quality and sharpness of the project data\/colors . important reason for choose this projector be the low noise . this machine be a consultant best friend . +114 Projector NEG 1 this device do nothing to live up to the description or previous review . First of all , if you want to use HDMI , you be stick with 4:3 ratio , so no widescreen movie or computer image . next , the keystone be extremely limit , so you have to have the unit sit almost perfectly level to you projection screen . also , the image be 100 % dependent on be in a very dark room . any ambient light from window or open doorway really affect the quality . finally , any video playback be poor due to a hard-to-focus picture and seemingly jerky movement . I unbox , test , and rebox this unit for return in about a hour . +907 Projector POS 5 this be a very good projector for the price . the image quality be really great and you will have a good time with this projector . +614 Projector POS 4 although the brightness in artificial light leave something to be desire it perform exactly as describe I have a clear 1080p image of 140 '' from 15 foot and i can carry it to and from work as need . at the price list i would definitely recommend this as a tv replacement , or a gaming accessory . +382 Projector NEG 1 the first two people that praise this junk obviously work for the company that make it . a bic lighter throw more light that this weak projector . my unit 's HDMI port do not work -lrb- no sync -rrb- , the headphone jack do not work -lrb- even when the menu selection be set to line -rrb- , and the resolution suck -lrb- 640x480 - where as 800x600 should be consider a bottom barrel minimum -rrb- . the focus be not uniform from far leave to far right , and top to bottom . the construction look like a toy make in a third-world country . fortunately , I also order the LED Samsung 410 for less than $ 600 . my buddy have the p400 , and I be wow by it be picture quality . it do not have hmdus -lrb- the only real reason I buy this junk in the first place -rrb- , but now I could care less . +579 Projector POS 4 very reasonable price for a good projector . Easy to use and very portable . Works well together with a portable public address system . +392 Projector NEG 2 so I would have to agree with most of the post . I like the projector alot but I feel the 20,000 hour for the bulb be mislead . I probably use it 8 hour a day . I leave it on in the background quite a bit . with 20,000 hour why not ? I have have it for 13 -lrb- ish -rrb- month and I now need a new bulb . during startup within the first minute , the left hand side of the screen flicker then go halfway dark . I have contact Favi twice and have not hear back . language barrier ? I be post this because this be the whole reason I buy the projector in the first place . the bulb . besides the bulb I like it . it be be a great first projector . I hope to hear from Favi as I would like to fix this . I feel a little leave out in the cold as there be no replacement bulb available . if someone have a link to a replacement bulb please email I or post here . I hope this be not a disposable projector . Update 5-18-12 Favi do end up send I a new projector in the case above . no complaint , good help . but , I just have the bulb go out on I for the second time last night . this bulb go out on the new unit they send I after a year and 2 month -lrb- wait for favus the find my records\/respond -rrb- . so , when it say 20,000 hour on the bulb it be utter nonsense . I be either really unlucky or these bulb be not what they claim to be . so I buy this projector specifically because it have a lead , and I 'll never deal with bulb , be not work for I . I 'll update this review when I hear back . 14 year bulb life ? try 14 month like any other projector have be my experience . +152 Projector POS 5 excellent project with enough brightness in the room with window . all function be work well as describe by Panasonic . Lighting remote control be helpful in dark room . it be definitely worth $ $ $ $ you pay for this project . +81 Projector POS 5 this mount appear to be very well make , but it would not fit the projector that I have purchase . it look like it only work for the smaller size projector . I have to return for a refund and order a new mount from another site . +874 Projector NEG 1 purchase this projector to use for a small project room setting . need to project power point presentation . the image be small and very blur . even the basic title page of the presentation be blurry . I return the projector and my search continue . +545 Projector POS 4 I buy the pk301 in the middle of January , 2011 . as everybody here , I guess , I have be watch hour and hour of Youtube video and read thousand of word in review . in order to better help and explain my opinion to you , who be consider this projector , let I tell you keypoint : - I be a University teacher , and my main use be show simple graphic and text ; - my class have 40-90 student ; - most of my class be at night ; - I do not need sound and be not expect this pico projector to fill this task . so , YES , I can use it in a BIG room with 100 student . with the desk 5 to 6 meter away from the wall I can get a pretty decent big screen so they can easily read the text and see some graphic . -lrb- wall need to be white os whiteish - it be not good on a black-green board -rrb- . some people say it can not be use in a large room and I disagree . important : light need to be COMPLETELLY OFF . I try use this during my morning class and , as expect , the lamp do not have enough lumen to make the projection visible at daylight -lrb- but i know it and it be not bad for I -rrb- . the `` fan '' sound , which a lot of people say be too loud , be not a problem for I . even in a quiet room its sound be not loud or annoying . I watch a movie in my living room and with the film 's sound I could ' t listen to the projector cooler system -lrb- no , the external speaker I hook it up be not very loud -rrb- . what else ... hum , it get hot , really hot after a 1:45 hour of class . I think it be normal and predictable . the first few time I smell `` smoke '' . it cease after the third time I use the pk though . MY ONLY WARNING be : the VGA CABLE , AFTER LESS than 2 month of LIGHT USE be DEFECTIVE . projection get pink . if I hold the cable in as specific part -lrb- next to the ferrite -rrb- it stop . I have just send a email to Optoma . let 's see how it end . I recommend this equipment , some of my co-worker buy regular projector and I see they carry heavy and elephant-like unit to they class . here in Brazil we have a popular say for this . in English it sound like : '' -lrb- the other regular-sized projector -rrb- be cannon to hit a fly '' . IMO , for class , the pk301 be dead on . do not listen to people say it have not a good resolution or it have a poor contrast . it be a PICO projector . expect what be reasonable . I can live with it when I think I can put the whole set -lrb- remote control , cable , tripod , power-supply , unit itself -rrb- in my backpack add around 1kg to my back . bad thing overview : - OBVIOUSLY : poor quality VGA CABLE . bad CONTACT NEXT to the ferrite . WAITING for OPTOMA 's answer . - remote CONTROL HAD to be BOUGHT SEPARATELLY . OMG ... - tripod have to be BOUGHT TOO . seriously , Optoma . do you really think you user would mind pay , let 's say , 15 dollar more , include on the price , for a `` full set '' include the damn remote and a tripod ? omg again ... - power supply could follow the portable mentallity , right Optoma dude ? need to be smaller , but it be not bigger than the average one . - include cable be too short and have I alrady say tha one of they be defective ? good thing that make me SMILE OVERVIEW : - extremelly light , portable and small - sport a execellent construction -lrb- at least , look like - feel sturdy ... -rrb- ; - recognize the input much faster than other unity I have ever see -lrb- Samsung , Epson , 3M and BenQ -rrb- . in 8 seconds you be ready to go ! - quiet unit ; - good resolution for its size ; - good contrast for its purpose ; - several cable include to make you start -lrb- hope no other break ... -rrb- ; - micro sd slot work pretty well , so you can really go portable , leave you notebook at home and save you smartphone 's battery ; I recommend this item . but Optoma need to work with better cable supplier ... +72 Projector NEU 3 well , let see here . I have this projector deliver to I in Kuwait , -lrb- US Servicemember station here -rrb- , and i be hope to use it for gaming in my tent . well , it accomplish this task , ide say 5\/10 . the color be bleached out , and after about 1 hour of playing , u get really tired and my eye hurt like crazy . but in the dark , movie be half decent , as well as powerpoint slide and such . i dont know , its a 200 $ projector , so how much can u expect ? +672 Projector POS 4 this projector be great value for money , I live in the Caribbean , and have it ship , the only thing that i have a concern about be the delivery time frame . it take 30 day to get here , but it do not say that before I make the purchase . it say that only after you purchase and get the delivery information . this projector be awesome for it price range . it be best use in total darkness though , my kid and I have use it for movie and video game but it be better use for movie because it do not handle text very well even on the lower resolution . caption and subtitle show very well though . +620 Projector POS 5 this product be over my expection . it be small and light . as well , the performance of this projector be really great . although I do not have any protable projector before , I think this one be the best so-far . I be glad that I make a good choice to purchase this projector . +836 Projector POS 5 I be worry that the picture quality on this model would be lower the usual . it be a cheaper version of a lot of other . I be very nicely surprise when I turn this on . the quality be great . the first game be Grand theft auto , I love it . play on a screen that big be great and its picture quality be very good . +307 Projector POS 5 I need a quality product to make professional presentation . I be not work so I need something that I could purchase that would not break I but that would show my potential client that I mean business . this product be it . I research for month and read a little over 50 review and go with this projector . it exceed my expectation . I even use it for a 3 day weekend seminar for over 500 people . she run great and have a clear picture in a light hotel conference room . I be utterly satisfied thus far . I have be use it for 6 month now . +507 Projector POS 5 we have only have this for a month now . we get it as a replacement . it have a great picture . a lot brighter than we last projector . +31 Projector POS 4 I be use the with my epson 8350 projector . it be work well so far . assembly be simple mount be not to bad . the good be that it be very adjustable . the con be that there be no fine adjustment . basically it be easy to get it in the ball park but if you be expect to be able to adjust the mount a millimeter you should go for a high end model . it work well for I and would not hesitate to suggest to anyone do a budget install . +36 Projector POS 5 with purchase be very good . arrange all . color sate . it be focus well . the small . the convenient . as the screen I use a white wall , the picture do not spoil . about what still to write I do not know , but it be require twenty word . +243 Projector POS 5 I be a little skeptical of 5 star review , but this mount most certainly deserve that ! I recently purchase a Planar Pd7060 , and be in need of a mount with good adjustment , due to my low drop ceiling in my theater\/basement . -lrb- the Planar do not have a lens shift ... -rrb- as mention in earlier review , the instruction be lack , but the build quality of this thing more than make up for the shortfall of the literature . I have to make a brace behind the ceiling tile outof 2x 's and that probably take longer to do than install the projector . I be very pleased with all the tilt , yaw , forward , back , and side to side adjustment that can be make . it be very easy to square the projector to the wall or screen you be project on ... it have a variety of bolt include for mount you projector , I do not need to go to Lowe 's or hd to pick up any thing ... my Planar have three mount point , and the mount have 2 set of 3 adjustable arm , that I be sure will work with almost any projector . W there be set screw in every adjustable pivot point to lock you setting in place . this thing will not move ! pricepoint and versatility be top notch ! I order the black version , but this be the same model . +421 Projector POS 4 my previous projector be a sp4805 I have for many year . I decide to upgrade to the 8100 . I have have my unit for year and a half now . the projector itself be awesome . not a single problemwith the unit itself . amazing picture with good brightness and lot of bell & whistle . its easy to set up , easy to operate . the remote be very useful and easy to navigate . some people complain about the fan noise . yes you can hear it but not so loud to be a negative check to I . I guess it depend on where you have it place and how loud you listen to you sound system . the main problem be that it be blow bulb at 400 to 600 hour . they be suppose to last 4000 hour . Epson be aware of the problem and replace mine with no hassle and I get it promptly . I be on my 3rd bulb . I just call Epson and they take some info and ship it free and provide the label and packaging for its return . I realize this be not the greatest way to do thing . I agree Epson should recall these unit and get the problem fix . it be very inconvenient go thru the motion each time to get the bulb replace . although I buy the unit from best buy , I go thru Epson for the bulb . I love the unit and I guess as long as they keep replace bulb for free I 'll just keep on go at this point . but besides the buld problem its a great projector . +228 Projector POS 4 if you want to play XBOX game in hdtv mode , the Xbox 's config screen wont appear on the InFocus x1 . the Xbox 's config screen be 480i and not 480p resolution . so the 480p game will appear in high resolution but you will not be able to see the config screen unless you connect the Xbox to a regular tv . the x1 support 480us out of the s-video port but not the svga port . if it be not for this annoyance , I would have buy this projector last year . +861 Projector POS 5 top Quality ! Easy to install and strong enough to hold even the heaviest of projector . sturdy ! +159 Projector POS 5 thank you very much , this projector be really awesome . the picture clarity be good , and the shipping be fast too thank you very much . ill keep on order from you guy and tell other to order from you guy too ... +512 Projector POS 4 this product so nice and perfect 3M pocket projector mp 180 remote control be as mention by the dealer and suppler its the right choice for you its amazing tool for datum show +863 Projector POS 5 I buy this projector for watch movie and video game , and its do remarkably well . the picture be clean and crystal clear . the HDMI port make you blu-ray connectivity easy . this projector be 3d ready as long as you have the appropriate glass , i cant wait to see how Avatar be go to look on my 4 by 7 1\/2 foot screen . it come 2 day early and snugly pack in a box . I do not notice any of the `` color wheel effect '' Great buy . the UPS driver leave a $ 700 projector sit on my front lawn , so make sure you be there when it arrive . UPDATE : Avatar look astonishing ! +331 Projector POS 5 this past Thanksgiving , after much prayer , and beg to my wife I be finally able to complete my home theater . I have have the opportunity to try out many projector through the year , always hope one day I would find the perfect one : good contrast and resolution with multi-capability such as computer , s-video , all the way down to RCA plug-in . also it have to have huge `` bang-for-the-buck '' factor . I be not disappointed ! this projector by NEC be surprising in many way . they pack it with a cool , very simplify , remote . plus , they throw in a extra computer cable so you can plug it right in . nice . it be very light at 7lb and the brightness of the 1500 ansus lumen soak the screen to display vividly sharp detail . I have try out many film so far to test its quality : fast and the furious , Nemo , a bug life plus other . none have any problem . computer animated film sparkle on this machine . there be a fan within the projector to keep down the temp . most people decide on purchase depend on the loudness of the fan alone . gratefully , it be amazingly quiet . once you turn it off it blow in high gear for about ten seconds then its do . here be the catch : you have to want a big picture . the projector do come with a easy zoom function to control picture size , but the kicker be , with it be fifteen foot away from the screen the smallest the image can get be 6ft wide \/ 5ft tall . many may worry about dvd artifacting or pixelization at that size , but again , no worry . at 15 foot the image could easily be 10 foot across if I so choose . nice , once more . if you decide on a projector that have vivid color detail and large picture capability , even with the light on , look no further . like I say , I have test many through the year , some cost five to ten thousand dollar , you will find very little difference between they and this power pack machine . hat off to NEC . ~ sao ~ +597 Projector NEG 1 the VIVITAR 5000 arrive with the inner , MANUFACTURERS BOX , UNPROTECTED FROM the outer SHIPPING CARTON . both carton be intact ; HOWEVER , I assume it WAS drop very hard from a CONSIDERABLE HIGHT ... three of the four lens in the projector be knock OUT of THEIR BRACKETS and LOOSE in the VIVITAR ASSEMBLY RENDERING the projector completely inoperative . contact the shipper BROUGHT IMMEDIATE STATEMENT that it would be pick up at MY HOME ASAP BY UPS for RETURN and the send of a new unit . I hope they pack it more carefully . the CONTACT PERSON say it be carefully pack . I be sure it be supposed to be BUT in REALITY IT WAS NOT ! I have hear that both FEDEX and UPS in THEIR CONVEYOR BELT SORTING HAVE TRANSITIONS with DROPS of 2 FEET or more in the process . THIS REPORT be SECOND HAND BUT one COMPANY -lrb- MAKING HIGH FREQUENCY AMATEUR BAND LINEAR AMPLIFIERS -rrb- say 40 % of THEIR SHIPPING of AMPLIFIERS be arrive severely damage that THEY HAVE resort to PUTTING THEIR AMPLIFIER CARTONS ON PALLETS for more gentle handle by the FREIGHT COMPANYS . KENNETH B. HOLDEN 2107 W. SACRAMENTO AVE CHICO , CA 95973 530.894.8702 kenholden@comcast.net +667 Projector POS 4 first , let I say , I would have give this projector 4.5 star if the rating be available . basically , it be a really good projector . it have everything you need , and the picture quality and brightness be really good . however , this unit be really big and not just a little ugly . I mean , I suppose the picture quality be the primary objective , but could not they have make it just a little prettier ? it do not actually look that much worse than other unit in shape , etc. . but it be huge , which make the utilitarian appearance stand out . also , it be white . which mean that if you want to use it as part of a home theater setup like I , it be more visible in a dark room . ugly and more visible make a bad combination . I be really happy with my projector . I be sure I 'll get a lot of use and satisfaction from it . but the first thing that go through my mind everytime I look at it be : `` wow ! that be a big , ugly projector ! '' +65 Projector POS 5 this projector have tremendous quality for its price . no , refresh rate issue , great resolution on VGA hookup , focus and zoom work well , and lot of digital setting to get you desire color and size . only con be the video-in jack . this seem to be a bit fuzzy and opposite color that be close together : like orange and blue stripe : will sometimes blend in movement . other than that I be very satisfied : -rrb- +480 Projector POS 4 great picture great price . Picture doesnt fade when light be turn on . the bad thing about this projector be no button on the projector -lrb- just a remote -rrb- and no audio source ! I return it because of this reason . +445 Projector NEG 1 my husband buy this projector for we daughter from CVS for $ 100.00 + tax and be so not worth it ! we have only have it for a day and it already shut off on we . it be not even over heating or hot at all ! this thing be crap ! not a good buy at all . now my girl be bummed because they cant enjoy they movie night like they plan to . highly disappointed ! +460 Projector POS 5 the new projection lamp come in as request and within the estimate delivery date . I install the lamp but have difficulty get a picture from the tv so I call technical support at Sony and they walk I through the issue . there be a door on the side of the tv in which the lamp be insert . if that door be not shut a certain way , there be a sensor that will not allow the tv to turn on . after that the tv work just fine . the lamp be a great deal and I definitely would do this again . +561 Projector POS 4 i purchase this product and the size be great easy to carry , its lighter then a iphone 4 and its smaller then the iphone . and the picture qualitly be pretty good for something this small and the battery last a while , BUT here where my good review go bad . i can not connect it to my iphone ... and that the only reason why i buy it . and the other reason this review be bad be because there be no volume control on it and the speaker be horrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrible quality . but i buy a external av cable for my phone and now it work so im pretty happy with this product +681 Projector POS 5 I like product that be as simple as possible and require very little set up time . I be able to get this up and run with my computer within 3 minute without even look at the user guide . when I start stream a movie from Netflix , the picture be a crisp 70 '' movie-theater quality picture -lrb- really crisp when I turn off the light -rrb- . I be really glad I buy this instead of a lcd screen . the basics : - come with a VGA connector for you computer - you do not need to buy it separately - it be incredibly light at 5 lb - very portable - the cord to connect it to the power supply be pretty short -lrb- estimate at 3-5 foot -rrb- , so you might need a extension cord depend on where you put it in you room - no speaker - you 'll need separate speaker . I just buy Sony gaming speaker to connect via usb to my computer for a full home theater experience +320 Projector POS 5 buy for Iraq deployment ... awesome 5 ' + screen on the wall of my CHU -lrb- trailer -rrb- . definitely need external speaker\/headphones , but in a darkened room the picture be great . +952 Projector NEG 1 shift3 light blast entertainment projector and of course just my luck the store only give you 30 day to return a defective product so now i be stick with 2 non work projector , also to my surprise there be no info on trouble shooting on line anywhere !!! my only option be to go after the manufacture `` MerchSource , LLC '' and try to get a refund or exchange . +918 Projector POS 4 this be a very good projector mount . I have a very difficult install ahead of I -lrb- low basement ceiling , with a support beam block my projector view on the ceiling -lrb- I have to mount the project behind the beam to get my 106 '' image -rrb- . needless to say , this be not go to be a easy install to get the image line up without the beam interfere -lrb- and I have a dlp projector with not many placement option and limited zoom -rrb- . long story short , this mount work . I would have like the three twist screw that connect the projector to the mount to be more flexible without have the projector come loose -lrb- which it do a few time -rrb- . make the ever so fine adjustment be a bit difficult since I could not get a screwdriver in there be only a few inch below the ceiling . I eventually use a drill bit and vice grip to do the job . again , this be about a difficult install as you could probably do and this mount do the job . in most people 's install , you can adjust the arm alone and achieve great result ... I have to use everything I could do to get this to seat perfectly . I highly recommend the mount and I would be surprise if this could not meet you installation need . fit and finish be excellent and the mount will not budge once properly tighten -lrb- which be good because I do not look forward to adjust my projector anytime soon -rrb- . +789 Projector POS 5 upgrade from the ae2000 , well worth it . the color and black level be noticeably improve over the 2000 , especially the red . brightness seem better but my old projector have 2000 hour on it so the bulb have dim some . nothing better imo this side of $ 4000 , can not go wrong with the pt-ae series . +373 Projector NEU 3 I be finally able to get the projector work with my MacBook -lrb- run Lion -rrb- after the support team send I the latest driver for the usb link . this process be quite frustrating yet I must say the fix work the first time . overall ok for customer service . pro : - display be very bright - the ability to adjust color be important as well and intuitive . - menu be simple and intuitive . - once customer support be actually engage , it work well . con : - I have a great deal of difficulty with initial installation with my MAC - despite the claim of ` it work right out of the box ' it do not . os x Lion have be out for over a year - why be they ship with a old driver ? - video playback for YouTube and DV file from my hard drive be choppy . the frame rate support by the projector be far from ideal . I find it quite noticeable . when I look at the computer screen the playback remain clear and chop-free . not sure what the issue be here , but this be a definite detractor . I need to test with a dvd and see if this be true for that as well . I will update when that test be complete . Update on pay a dvd from my MacBook : the dvd screen be a mass of gray and white square - no picture of the movie at all . I email customer support for assistance . - customer support get right back to I - which be great , but the the advice be to use the VGA cable to fix the issue I have . this show a basic lack of understanding of my system . MacBook do not support VGA cable , so they advice be useless . - customer support once again reply a couple of day later and advise I to purchase a adapter for the VGA cable to ensure that dvd playback on the MacBook would function properly . once again , I find this a less than desirable solution . it be not like mac be ` strange ' - VGA be old technology , it be time to update people ! I be reduce my review to three-stars base on this experience . overall - for the price - a very solid projector for business application . I can not recommend it at this point for entertainment application as the video playback be simply not up to par . +548 Projector POS 5 Great little projector . I have have it for a day and I believe you need nothing else if you be look for a small , light and very portable projector . 300 hundred lumen be more than enough for anything you may want . a good set of connection cable -lrb- short , like 18 inch -rrb- . in my case I get a 120 inch screen from 3.5 meter from the wall . excellent quality . only complaint be sound , but any speaker system will do the trick . I recommend this to anybody who be look for a portable projector . +959 Projector POS 4 buy this think that the remote controlled powerpoint slide show . the projector arrive before the estimate delivery date -- which be when I realize it do not have that feature . if you do not need that feature -lrb- I 'll accept blame for not research it better ! -rrb- , this seem to be a pretty well make -lrb- albeit basic -rrb- projector . I call they customer service for info -- the person I talk to be very helpful and knowlegable . I be impressed . I return the unit and purchase a different one , again , on Amazon . +930 Projector POS 5 wow , this screen be enormous and easy to set up . I may end up building something a little more low-profile in the way of a stand because the tripod take up a good 30inch behind the screen . we have a `` okay '' quality digital projector for we computer and it take 20 ' from back of tripod to back of projector for we to fill the screen . +198 Projector NEU 3 I like this projector for its size . 8oz be so small , easy to carry , and fit anywhere . everything that come with it be great , and it come quickly . initially , it have a large , sharp picture . however , soon after receive it , dead pixel begin to appear to the point it be unusable . currently , it be be fix under its warranty . sorry I can not give any more information as to how that turn out ... +136 Projector POS 5 I want a projector which would provide the easiest possible use . - ie plug-in and project with minimum effort or technical know-how . this projector be do just this . the adjustment be to the finger tip and within minute the set up be complete . it be lightweight and provide a clear picture and can be use wth a mac or pc . it work exactly as the manufacturer have promise . +240 Projector POS 5 I buy the hc4000 as a replacement for it be older brother hc3800 -lrb- damage in a lightning strike -rrb- ... the family line have a good gene pool - super price\/performance value +3 Projector POS 5 I buy this projector to use on a recent business trip . Works as advertise . nice and portable ; love that it run off a battery . I do not have experience with other projector in this category , but I be very pleased with the brightness and clarity of the image . one bit of warning : the stand that come with it suck . the thread be defective -lrb- do not thread into the projector -rrb- , and the leg would not stay in position . luckily , I have another desktop camera stand that I be use with it . I would avoid the `` spider-leg '' type stand . overall , very pleased with the device . +595 Projector POS 4 I be not a techie , but I do like technology , especially if it do what it be make to do well and do not cost a arm and a leg . I think I would be very pleased with this projector if I do not already have the ViewSonic PJD5123 projector , which be cheaper and in my opinion do a better job project video . this be what I mean . before I receive the Epson product to review , I have buy the ViewSonic , because I would use that model at work and I really like it . so , when I get the Epson , I immediately set they up side by side to compare they . basically , the projection quality be very similar , and they share similar function and option . however , there be a noticeable difference in the color quality . while the Viewsonic be consistently bright and have bold color contrast , in comparison the Epson 's projection look light and wash out , with the black too prominent . if I do not have the Viewsonic to compare side by side , I think I would not have mind that . and I do play around with the different color function on both machine . Viewsonic look better to I each time . though this color issue be really the only problem -lrb- that really be not a big problem -rrb- that stand out , I would still recommend this projector . keep in mind that it be only noticable because I be compare they next to each other . I also like the slide cover and the slim look . +977 Projector NEG 1 buyer beware ! after only 10 or so use , white dot start appear all over the screen until finally you could not see a thing . when it be work tho , the image quality be fine , although it need close to zero light in the room to be enjoyable . so buy this only if you have a really dark room , only need it for about a month or so , and have money to spare . +383 Projector POS 5 I purchase this mount after read the review for use this mount with a Epson 8350 . I take the advice of other in order to locate the balance point of the mount . also , like other , I be only able to use 3 of the 5 mount hole . however , I be able to mount the projector and it work very well . it take a little adjust to get it level and solid but I be able to do it . I do want to use all 5 mount as I want to be sure the projector be securely hold . I find the Atdec website and send a message to customer service ask how I would go about purchase two additional long extension . I be very pleasantly surprise when the customer service representative reply that he would send they to I no charge if I would provide my address . now that be outstanding customer service !!!! highly recommend this mount ! +627 Projector POS 5 just like everyone else i do my own research for week . be debate on a 1080p device or 3d ready device with 720p . come down to this sucker and i aint look back ! personally i like be amaze and on top of be amaze i like save money = -rrb- . that be say this be the perfect projector for I to get because i of course take advantage of its 3d processor ! i buy the viewsonic vp3d1 converter and it work great ! i first test it out with my xbox 360 but have some trouble at 1st because my output setting be at 1080p and this device -lrb- viewsonic vp3dus -rrb- only read 1080us . once i switch the setting to 1080i the projector also allow the 3d option to turn on . as far as the quality of this projector its brilliant ! good for day and night setting . color be awesome and quality be good as well . use through hdmus port which native be 720p 20mhz but with the viewsonic converter it automatically convert it to 1080i 60mhz . only when its actual 3d content will it then display it at 720p 120mhz . as far as the glass i buy the optoma dlp lnk hz1 . my testing be still not complete as i still have to get a blue ray 3d player . im very impressed and satisfied with my curent set up . in all great 3d home theater set up for $ 1k +449 Projector POS 5 Compact and light weight , this be aim squarely at the travel business person who need to make presentation while travel , but it be also a handy general purpose projector , if you can accept a few limitation in exchange for the low price . pro : very compact , low price , excellent image quality , good color , good build quality , easy to use , good remote con : no hdmus input , remote not backlit the high lumen mean this projector be very bright and can be use in a room with a fair amount of ambient light . a step up from the 800x600 210 model , the 310 's 1024x768 resolution and 4:3 aspect ratio be fine for present and for dvd 's , gaming , and many video format . it be equivalent to 720p hd -- higher resolution than standard dvd video -lrb- 640x480 -rrb- and fine for streaming video , divx , home video , photo , and similar use . it be very well suit for laptop video game with a mid-level graphic card as well . you get Epson build quality and reliability , long bulb life , good out of the box color , instant on\/off , usb instant play -lrb- for photo , presentation , and pc display , but not suitable for video -rrb- , and VGA -lrb- good for pc Video and general display purpose -rrb- . you get vertical -lrb- but not horizontal , that be reserve for the more expensive 315 model -rrb- lens shift and lot of tweaking option -lrb- most of which you will not need -rrb- . this unit be very quick and easy to set-up and use , and quick to shutdown and pack up as well . I use the VGA input to connect my laptop to the projector , everything work fine and be quick and easy to setup . projector detect the video signal and the auto config work as expect . I project a 84 '' -lrb- diagonal -rrb- image use ECO mode -lrb- lower power\/brightness , less noise , longer lamp life -rrb- and leave the auto iris on -lrb- better black -rrb- . I do not need to make any adjustment to color , everything look good to I . the image quality be excellent for the price . for business purpose , it be very good . for home media , it be acceptable and , at this price , very decent . the black be not `` inky , '' but the image be bright and colorful . also a good choice for gaming via the VGA connection . there be no hdmus at this price , not a issue for business use , but it mean you 'll have to use component output to the VGA input connector via a special cable -lrb- not include -rrb- for best quality dvd\/movie video . no usb cable be include , either , which be a bit lame in my opinion , but , hey , look at the price ! verdict : the basic idea here be to deliver a good quality , budget projector that feature Epson 's key image and build quality , and basic feature , at the lowest cost possible , I believe Epson have hit the target and that these projector will be quite popular . I have raise my initial 4 star rating to 5 star base on my test and performance vs. cost -lrb- i.e. bang for the buck -rrb- . a excellent business projector and a handy all-around projector when use with a laptop or desktop pc via the VGA connector . --------------------- Update 2011-12-01 : photo and Art image look very good to excellent . there be plenty of detail , very bright , fairly sharp , wonderful color fidelity , and overall great image quality . I also do some limited testing to see how this unit would work with streaming video for casual movie watch -lrb- e.g. netflix , Amazon Instant video , etc. -rrb- . image quality be very acceptable . Blacks be decent , thing that be black , look black . this be no match for a good home theater unit , no inky black and `` pop '' here , but a very decent and eminently watchable image . would be great for sport , I be guess . I watch some Netflix film and they look very good , dvd quality plus\/minus depend on source . the Amazon video I watch -lrb- Firefly non-hd -rrb- be a bit lower in quality , but still acceptable . some native video -lrb- i.e. play from laptop hard drive -rrb- look great , near or better than dvd quality , YouTube video be pixellate due to they low resolution , but the higher rez look ok . -lrb- on a 84 '' image , you be go to notice block and pixellation w\/youtube and other lower quality source , so keep that in mind . -rrb- I use blutooth speaker or headphone for audio - do not bother with the projector audio . all in all , it be fun and I be very pleased with the result . I think many would be perfectly happy with this projector for casual movie\/video use -lrb- just do not compare it to a moderate to high-end HT unit -rrb- . the wonderful hbe -lrb- human brain effect -rrb- take over after awhile and you do not really notice any image quality issue . perfectly enjoyable and very inexpensive by comparison . also very easy to set-up and put-away . I project the image on my light beige wall and even that look pretty good . the auto iris do click a bit occasionally -lrb- as with most other unit -rrb- , but you can turn it off if this bother you . it improve the black a little bit , noticeable , but not a dramatic change . if you do not get too hang up on the lower resolution -lrb- vs. the newer 1080p unit -rrb- , moderate screen door effect -lrb- never bother I at all -rrb- , you 'll have a lot of fun . and , at current price , this be hard to beat in term of fun\/dollars spend . +244 Projector NEU 3 buy this packet of item because of the Amazon recommendation `` people who buy this -lrb- productx -rrb- buy -lrb- producty -rrb- . '' however , it still sit in a box and have not be open . I be probably go to return it or gift it . I just do not see a need for it and think it be a bad recommendation on Amazon 's part . +972 Projector POS 4 I have be enjoy the projector and it be easy to use . I have it hook up to my dishnetwork and dvd player and now I have a whole wall for a monitor , also use it with my computer . I have no problem use it and it have be great . now I be just wonder what the life of the machine , I hope along time but it be worth the money . +785 Projector POS 4 even though the Epson Movie Mate be a older version , it fit into my need perfectly . I have no problem with the seller . e-bay and Amazon.com be a great service . +962 Projector POS 5 buy this for my husband for father 's day . he love it !! the picture and sound be amazing . we use it with a outdoor 120 inch screen , but we have also use it with a bed sheet . the picture be great either way . my husband have hook we cable box to it and watch television on the 10 foot screen !! we use it alot and have no complaint at all ! +135 Projector POS 5 the package be real long , but that be obvious consider the one I order be 120 '' ! the whole thing be in two part : the tripod portion and the screen portion . the tripod be a easy setup and the screen snap in with ease . the quality of the material be fine and it do not appear to have any flimsy part to it . this product be easy to setup and tear down -lrb- you can set it up and tear it down in a minute , seriously -rrb- . the white portion of the screen be bright and the screen material be good quality . I highly recommend this ! +370 Projector POS 5 I buy this mount after read the review and be a little edgy about it because of the `` one star '' review i read that say it might just drop from the ceiling ... well before i hang my projector from it I actually grab onto it and hang with the full 140LBS of MY BODY WEIGHT and it slip about 1\/4 '' and then CAUGHT . I notice that if you turn the slide height adjustment bar upside down it will slip off so make sure you put that bar on the right way -lrb- try it both way , the right one will be obvious -rrb- if you install it correctly you really cant beat this for the money . it be a must that you be somewhat mechanically incline . . if you unsure , have a friend on hand for second opinion and to help you hold everything steady . once its up its easy to make adjustment and it look sweet ! +676 Projector NEG 1 it be my own fault for not try it and return it immediately . when I get this I wait around two month before I even plug it in . however , it have never be able to sync with either of my two pc , a VISTA and a window 7 . I be very adept mechanically and can not figure this out . I have use many projector , so I be surprise this one just seem enigmatically complicate or it be simply just a mechanical reject . the lamp fire up , the fan purr , yet no matter what I do to get it to sync , all I get be a pale blue screen that read `` not synce . '' DUH !!! tell I something I do not know . and ... there be no manual , no online documentation , download or forum . I have contact favus entertainment and I 'll let you know what they solution be once they get back to I . advice : : : pay a few dollar more for namebrand quality . I be afraid I be out $ 250.00 -lrb- price in 2010 -rrb- . a expensive lesson ... +309 Projector POS 5 its a awesome little device . its small , have a hdmus port right on it , and it host my western digital passport like a breeze , and play most media from my drive with no problem . also , its plenty bright for standard bedroom operation - even during the day with average window cover . at night its startlingly bright for its size . and it be sturdy - no move part besides the fan . it be take a tumble once or twice as someone would foolishly trip over a cord , and it suffer no loss of performance . con -lrb- worth mention , but not worth pass it up for -rrb- : the remote control - its a bit of a mess , intuitive-wise . get around its menu be a chore . the itir receive port be on the back of the projector , where I find myself not be positioned - far to often . some of the best place and way to position this projector leave the remote out of line-of-sight . and of course , you would better not lose the thing , because many of the projector function can only be access with the remote control . I velcroe mine to my projector in the hope that it would keep they together . so far , so good . the power adaptor - its huge . its nearly as big again as the projector itself . kinda sour the pleasure of have such a amazing compact projector when you realize you have to lug a big brick around too . and contrary to my original thought , the projector have no battery of its own , only ac power . all that say , its still the best , most versatile product of its kind and the best bank for one buck in this category . it always work . +701 Projector POS 4 I be worry when I read the review for this product . I own a Epson Home Cinema 8350 , after search a bit I find the extension piece -lrb- that should come with this mount , but it do not -rrb- : VideoSecu White Projector mount extension adaptor only for brand VideoSecu Projector Mount W53 the 2 rod will not reach the right 2 hole . I purchase only 1 extra extension and it fit perfectly along with the 3 other rod in a 1 center , 2 leave , 1 right configuration . if you want a 2 left , 2 right configuration for the screw , I recommend buy two extension . either way make it quite stable . so far so good with the ceiling mount . it say it can hold up to 44lb . the 8350 be only 16lb , so we will see how it hold out . assembly be simple , need a philip screwdriver -lrb- not include -rrb- , and a Alan wrench -lrb- include -rrb- . good buy . +177 Projector POS 5 if you be in the service -lrb- I be currently deploy in Iraq -rrb- , here 's why this projector be useful for you : fun : play movie and game to entertain you buddy . look great in you CHU , a dark room , or even on a t wall at night . portability : projector in case with power adaptor fit in you cargo pants pocket . Professionalism : you can set up a power point presentation without a computer . usb drive connect in the back and use the remote to advance slide . the current plan be to make a portable movie system . Vivitek state that you can use the xpal xp18000 to power the projector for 2 hour . I order that and will update this review once I try it out . I also buy the monster clarityhd bluetooth speaker for audio because the build in speaker be not good . +466 Projector POS 5 we have search for several month for a screen that stay within we budget and provide the quality of screen find in much more expensive screen -lrb- I use projector screen of various size at work -rrb- . the FAVI screen do a great job and be easy to install for my husband and myself . we install right into the drywall -lrb- with use of drywall anchor -rrb- since no stud be nearby to keep the screen center on the wall . to spend only $ 257 be a incredible price . we have watch movie every evening for about a month now . we read earlier review with one person go on and on about the smell after they unpack the screen . it do off-gas for a day or two but not the 2 week or so as they claim . we have pair this with the Optoma Game Time Projector which be portable and do not need extra speaker unless you just want to add they . we also add a Apple TV device -lrb- $ 99 -rrb- to stream movie from we Netflix account as well as many other service the Apple TV device bring to the screen . we have also learn how to mirror we iPhone 4 and ipad 2 and later through the Apple TV device onto the big screen which be accomplish wirelessly and show anything you iPhone 4 or ipad2 can deliver whether it be app , movie , text , or email . +267 Projector POS 4 this projector be super cheap , compare to other . buy it for less than $ 100 and it be good . it be a good projector for those who want to play game inside they house at night but a bad projector for outdoor event . I use it for movie and game night at my dorm at my college and it be good , all my friend like how the image be big on the wall , and still use it . I would recommend this projector only for inside and night time use , will not work at all outdoors , try it and the image be just to blurry . +690 Projector NEG 1 I do not know if the problem be with the accessory kit or my projector , but I still have problem get my Iphone 4 to work with my Optoma projector . +845 Projector POS 4 compare to the price , this projector be the best one . the only problem I have notice in this projector be the picture be a bit grainy . but not too much . +289 Projector NEG 2 I suffer from dlp rainbow effect so have to go with a lcd unit . color be not as vivid and with the lower contrast ratio video image be not as good as dlp model . `` screendoor effect '' be extremely noticable especially in white\/bright area of video . do not be fool by the advertisment that this accept component video signal -lrb- which give you the best possible image -rrb- . I purchase a vesa adapter to connect via component video to the monitor connection on the unit . it do not work . after some research , I find that you can only use Epson 's adapter to make it work which run $ 100 . now , be I go to get $ 100 worth of image gain over s-video ? i do not think so . do not buy this if you want to connect via component video . i read that Epson be the only company that do not use the standard adapter . I also receive a brand new unit with a dead pixel , which i read be pretty common for lcd projector over time but i do not expect it fresh out of the box that way . +430 Projector POS 4 the light blow out on my projector . this product be exactly as specify and just what I need . quick delivery time . thank you +389 Projector POS 5 AAXA Technologies do a great job with this micro projector , its too big to be consider a pico projector and it put out more light than any pico projector I have ever see . the build in media player be alright although it do have some room for improvement . I have no problem use the small remote that come with it . the fan make noise but its well within the range that I expect for a projector , much quieter than many of the larger projector that I have use in the past . after nearly a year of use it be still work as good as the day it come off the fedex truck . I use it with a Epson Duet 80 '' screen Epson Duet 80-Inch dual Aspect Ratio Projection Screen , Portable 4:3 and 16:9 Aspect Ratio Screen -lrb- elpsc80 -rrb- it have travel almost everywhere I have since I get it and I still love watch movie on it whenever I can . if you be sensitive to DLP 's rainbow effect , this may not be the projector for you since it use a liquid Crystal on Silicon display which be similar to dlp ... no screen door effect like lcd projector have . sd-hc compatible , I have use it with my 32gb RiData Lightning class 10 card , can also be use as a card reader when connect to a computer via usb . lead power display so no bulb to have to change within the lifespan I expect to get out of this projector . come with a cheap gorilla-pod style tripod that be far to flexible to support the weight of the projector , a standard Photography tripod work beautifully especially when use it with the Epson Duet screen . the build in speaker be more of a after thought than anything else , use good speaker or headphone with this projector . have all the cable you might need with the exception of hdmus in the box , but I can honestly say I have never use this with hdmus . the VGA cable be short but I have no problem when use it with a extension cable or a DVI to VGA adaptor cable . the only display equipment I own with a composite input , which work great with a old Nintendo Game cube that be just collect dust in a closet before I get this projector . very portable , best in class brightness , compact full featured portable projector that travel nicely with my laptop or ipad . I would recommend and have recommend this projector to anyone who travel frequently ... I even remember demo it to someone while wait for a plane in the Anchorage Ted Stevens International Airport . +362 Projector POS 4 I purchase this clock with the intention of use the soothing sound to fall asleep too . but now that I have this clock there be so many other feature I love about it . good : - two alarm setting that you never have to touch ! simply set you day and a time and the alarm set itself every night . no worry about forget to set it the next day . - soothing sound be nice to fall asleep to - Projection clock be really nice . I think I would never use it , but i project the time on the wall , super nice ! - flashlight have a automatic feature that turn on if the power go out - self setting time , no need to program it bad : - very bright . it do have a dimmer , but it be not even close to dim . so if you be sensitive to light , be warn . I just turn my clock away and use the projection on the wall - I only like one of the four soothing sound , so it be not really bad , but I have higher expectation overall I really like this clock ! +616 Projector POS 5 I love this projector picture be awesome and the 3d look great . be planning on use this only when watch 3d movie but this have become my main tv . have a 100 inch screen be great . you will not be disappoint with this purchase . +141 Projector POS 4 I be not expect much from this projector for the price . it turn out to be better than I think . although this be by no mean a toy , it still be limit in what it can be use for . it can be fun for kid to watch cartoon or movie since kid do not generally care about image quality . that be not to say that the quality be bad . it be pretty good actually . it can be compare to a CRT tv . the lamp be on the dark side . it will not be enough if you want to project a image larger than 60 '' . pro : Projector can actually be use as a portable tv . it be very light and small in size , plus it use a ac adapter . it will last long due to the led light . for the price , you will not find a better projector . con : the only thing that be bad about the projector be the focus ring . the ` sweet ' spot be difficult to reach if you project a large image . and you do have to refocus every now and then because it can unfocus with time . +879 Projector NEG 1 remote never work and for some unexplained reason which ever computer connection use on two different window 7 system it would connect then in a matter of about 60 secound disconnet , go look for another connection , come back and select the usb 2.0 and start the cycle over . True-to-Life Colors ... have problem with yellow . return item . +429 Projector NEG 1 the product work and be easy to mount but company send I use item when I purchase new one . there be scratch all over the mount . one star give because of ethical concern not because of product functionality . +44 Projector POS 4 Spent just a little over $ 70 on this . Spent most of my time worry if it would look fine playing , if it would be too dark , or not enough sound . item be receiven in great condition . be easy to hook up to my PS3 to stream movie right onto my wall . Picture be not amazing , but it look pretty well and the sound be loud enough too . I 'll probably save up to buy a newer brand that can be brighter , but as for now this be totally fine and worth the buy . even if the bulb burn out , I be give a manual on how to replace it , so I be good : -rrb- +368 Projector NEG 2 initially I very excite by this product because I view it as a portable way to project larger version of myself to other . in particular , I be interested in appear 7 + foot tall to other in a business context . unfortunately , this do not work out as well as I have anticipate . quite possibly due to the fact the Optoma pk301 be only capable of create a two-dimensional image . on the upside , the pk301 occasionally send I through time in a uncontrolled manner . I also see from other review that this be not a uncommon occurrence for Optoma projector . I think the `` net net '' here be that it be a mediocre business tool but a effective , though unpredictable , time machine . I be actually in the process of now try to contact past-me by travel through to time to warn myself from purchase the Optoma pk301 in the first place . I think that pretty much say it all . +762 Projector POS 4 I order this screen on 7th apr '11 and be out of stock for long time and finally get it deliver on 11th July ' 11 . it be a decent motorized screen for the price . it come with 2 remote like description say and one almost never work . it have easy mechanism to adjust length of screen . I have not see clear instruction or hardware for install the screen to the wall or ceiling but I figure out my own way of install screen . after see the hole on each side anyone can figure out how to install . only one thing that be bother I be , after few time I roll screen up and down , I see lot wrinkle up towards the case . I try to look up the contact number for favus but nowhere to find . also contact Amazon but they do not have contact for FAVI either . I go in to they website and fill out contact form but have not hear from they yet . so the bottom line be , if you be look for professional \/ real theater like experience may be you should consider frame screen , not motorized one . +978 Projector POS 4 I actually pick this up refurb ` ed from woot.com , and I have to say I be very impressed with it so far . I buy it because I do not have a tv , and it have all the input a tv have and more : VGA through a include cable , hdmus through a hdmi-to-mini-hdmus cable -lrb- available on amazon for very cheap -rrb- , regular component cable -lrb- come in the package -rrb- , from a micro-sd card -lrb- sell separately -rrb- and also supposedly through usb . pro : - very small and light - come with a padded carry case - perfect for replace a tv -lrb- if you can make the room dark -rrb- - excellent resolution -lrb- 1200x800 max -rrb- - pixel be diamond-oriented -lrb- make movie clearer \/ less pixelated -rrb- - with the battery and micro-sd card , it do not actually need any cable at all - internal memory be big enough for a picture slideshow or a short home video - can flip the image -lrb- so you can run it upside down , or behind the screen , etc -rrb- con : - manual focus , and text will never ever be completely sharp no matter what - when the bottom be in focus , the top be slightly out of focus -lrb- not noticeable in video - only become a issue when read text -rrb- - hole for the tripod be right at the front . this mean that if you buy a small tripod -lrb- like the one recommend on this page -rrb- it will tip over backwards , no matter what you do - not sure how to get usb working . I buy a female-to-female adapter so that I could connect a flash drive to the usb cable they provide , but it do not detect it . I think perhaps you need to buy they proprietary cable -lrb- boo -rrb- overall , I love it . I do not think I would have pay $ 400 for it , but for $ 250 I could not be happier . +974 Projector POS 5 everyone that see the picture this projector give want one . you would expect to pay much more for this quality . the picture still look great with the light on and blind open . give the adjustability of the projector and the abilty to handle ambient light , this will work in a lot of home other projector might not be right for . and it look great even on a inexpensive screen -lrb- da-lite hd Model B -rrb- . the only negative thing be I know about right now be that with all projector include the new dlp rear projector tv be that the bulb have to be replace every 2000 or so hour and they cost over $ 300 to replace . I just get my projector , so I do not know if the bulb will last its advertised lenght . I would be surprise if you be not wow by this projector . UPDATE : I have have problem with this projector . already on my second one and be get ready to send it away for more work . seem to be a reliability problem . the projector shut off automatically after I turn it on . . force I to wait 5 minute to turn it back on . also , and much worse , the project image be start to go blank every 5 minute and the imput option appear . . very annoying and you may miss key part of whatewver you be watch . now , still under warranty , Panasonic be make I pay to ship the unit to Kansas -lrb- I be in California -rrb- where they will work on it and say they will have it back to I in 7-10 day . if you still want to buy this after read this , make sure you get a good warranty . my rating now would be much lower than 5 star if Amazon would let I change it -lrb- they will not -rrb- second Update : well my Iris have break again ! and now it be out of warranty ! this be the third time I have have to return this product for repair ! I think there should be a class action suit against these guy for not recall a product that almost everyone be report problem with ... will never buy a Panasonic product again . +254 Projector NEG 1 out of the box , the instruction be nearly incomprehensible . after I get it mount it be fine . it do everything I need it to do . I raised\/lowered it probably 2x a week for less than 3 month and the motor go out . the screen just plop all the way down and would not raise . as mention in other review , it cost more to ship the product back to FAVI for repair than I pay for the screen itself . I end up open up the case to try to fix it -lrb- stupid on my part -rrb- and make it 100x worse . I hope the motor would last longer than 3 month , so I will not be buy anything FAVI brand again . I reach out to customer service , so depend on what they say I may change my mind . +76 Projector POS 5 I receive my apple ipad dock connector cable , connect it to my lcd projector and it work perfectly . I didnt need to do anything . this company be great . I actually receive my product before the suggest delivery date . thank you for offer this product . +334 Projector POS 4 we purchase this projector for use in the worship center of we small church building . the picture be very sharp , and we plan to upgrade we screen to a wide-screen size soon , and that will take advantage of the projector 's full capability . it be easy to use , easy to get set up . the color seem not to be as vibrant as the projector we just replace , however . the blues especially seem to be wash out . we may be able to adjust for that , but have not be able to figure it out yet . +500 Projector NEG 2 I have purchase , this projector to replace my 6 year old NEC projector . I like that it have a hdmus input , 2500 luman , and think it would have a clean sharp picture . but I fail to notice that it be only 800 x 600 resolution . with my picture about 6 foot wide . the picture look blocky -lrb- if that be a word -rrb- . I could actually count the pixel on the screen . I have return this Vivitek projector and purchase another NEC NP216 projector with a 1024 x 768 resolution . the 1024 x 768 resolution make a huge difference in clarity . I will never purchase anything less than 1024 x 768 . I be sure a Vivatek projector with 1024 x 768 or higher would have a better picture . +532 Projector POS 5 1080p , great picture , bulb be less expensive than with other projector . I be just amaze at this product and everyone that see it as well . bigger than expect but I would say bigger be better in this case . I buy projector screen material and make my own 120 '' screen . the material have a surface for the projector and be also black out cloth , so I mount the screen right over 2 window in my family room . I get the screen material from the seller dazianfabric on ebay ! +34 Projector POS 5 so far I have have my projector for about a week and it work perfectly . I buy this know the cost and not expect the performance I would get from a $ 1000 projector . I assume anyone look to buy this do not have 500-2000 dollar to spend and just want a projector on a budget . so far this be it . I buy a refurbish one and get it ship for $ 230 . I have be use it everyday about 9-12 hour as a second monitor . it come with a extra bulb and all the cable list in the description . the cable and power cord be short so unless you plan on have it close get a longer cable . it say 800x600 but I have mine set at 1024x768 and it accept the signal use vga cord but anything over and the screen turn blue and say no signal . I try s-video hdtv out on my card but nothing display right unless I put it to 480 . I plan to get a vga to hdmi adapter and try the hdmus input on the projector . I hope then it will display 1080 without it be scramble . I hook up coaxial with expand cable tv and run the scan . it pick up the station but it must have the old style because none of the hd in between station work -lrb- ex-10 .1,10.2 -rrb- . some of the station be wrong and i would have to go under each one to manually adjust the frequency to get the right channel and get the clearest picture . also have to set the sound to the right kind to get that to work . I then try a antenna and nothing work so you will need a converter box to get those channel . I have spend much time tweaking the contrast ect . on the projector and my graphic card to get the picture right . the keystone adjustment be just up and down so you need to project straight parallel . the picture size depend on distance from screen so i recommend a ceiling mount so you do not have to have it setup on a table in the middle of the room . it have adjustment for both ceiling -lrb- flip -rrb- and rear -lrb- reversed -rrb- mode . for pixel and clarity I have mine setup about 9ft away with a screen size of almost 6ft wide and about 5ft tall . from 3 1\/2 foot and closer it have a obvious look through a screen effect . the pixel size with my screen size be 1\/16 inch square . right now i just project on a white wall and look good from 5ft back and beyond . my dislike be ; 1 . the fan be loud 2 . it have blank on the input side for usb , scart and card reader . I assume in the next model those input will be put in but its a bummer not have they in this model and see the spot for they . 3 . I have a longer vga cable but with the location of the input on the projector -lrb- cover be too close -rrb- the screw be not long enough on the one side tighten it in . overall I recommend this to whoever want a projector but can not spend over $ 300 . what convinced I to buy this be the fact bulb be 30-40 dollar and last 4000-6000hr . I could have spend $ 250 on a use projector that blow this one away in picture quality and spec but then I would be stick pay $ 200-300 every 3000hr on a new fixture . what I want be a huge picture I can use as much as a tv and not have to ration out the hour i put on the bulb . if you have any question feel free to comment and I hope my review help . just remember if you want perfect quality expect to pay for it , do not fool yourself into think this can compete with a $ 600 + projector . +163 Projector POS 4 it be a very usefull video projector , my wife use it for she conference of 20 to 50 person and it look great . I personally use it wiht my xbox in a big white wall and it make complete different game experince . it be a basic video Projector , with basic feature but just enough for my wife and myself and the best be the low price ! +829 Projector NEG 1 it be unbelievable how a company with the reputation of 3M release a product like this in the market !! what be it mean for ?? the light be so dim that you can not watch movie , do presentation , whatever . it be useless ! the favorable report we see around must be from company people . only insane people can give a favorable rating to this piece of ... how to call it ? +668 Projector POS 5 great projector for the price . it look better than my big screen tv . we use it outside in we backyard theater project onto a 16 by 9 screen . awesome . +283 Projector POS 5 after have this thing fire up on a 120 '' screen -lrb- as oppose to my buddy 's textured living room wall with he hd65 -rrb- and have some time to spend do a little calibrate I be blow away . I purchase this instead of the Epson 8100 -lrb- finance constraint -rrb- , but I do not feel a bit letdown after use this baby . Games , movie and tv show be incredible on the 66 and the darker the room get , the better the picture get . definitely worth the purchase price and quite frankly , you would have to be a certified lunatic to choose a television over this when you take the price and performance into consideration -lrb- even factor in the negligible replacement cost of a optoma light bulb -rrb- . I really do not see myself ever go back to normal tv as anything but a secondary viewer . use a hd projector be the only true way to do home theater right . setup be a breeze and I buy everything on Amazon through various seller and pay WAY less than I would have anywhere else . for the full price of the setup and ceiling mount this thing I would be lucky to grab a tv over 50 '' -lrb- exclude dlp 's -rrb- . every single one of my friend and family member -lrb- especially my wife ... the ultimate skeptic -rrb- be extremely impressed . the only real problem I have now be keep all of they at bay long enough to watch something of mine ! as for performance tidbit ? resolution be very clear for a 720p model and I have keep all my item scale up to 1080p and let the hd66 's onboard downscaler do the work as I feel that look the sharpest . even when I do this I be still able to play my xbox 360 with no noticeable lag and it look beautiful . my Samsung Blu-Ray Player and my hdmi-capable htpc also look phenomenal -lrb- I highly recommend use Windows Media Center and one of its custom frontend like Media Browser as they look marvelous on a screen this large -rrb- . screen door effect be at a minimum if the machine be calibrate halfway decent and if you be sit at a adequate distance from the screen . I do not suffer from RBE so I have yet to see a rainbow -lrb- hopefully I never do -rrb- and I have already watch hour of various content from live-action movie to game to sport , etc. . the menu system be easy to navigate and the focus and zoom offset be great -lrb- but offer the limited placement flexibility consistent with other dlp model of its ilk -rrb- . the remote be not backlit , but once the room be darken , I still have no problem see the necessary key to press -lrb- I be also not one of those remote control stickler , so go figure -rrb- . calibration prove easy enough and a quick Google search will yield several reviewer site with easy setting to try out . the unit itself be very light and be a breeze to install . overall , a solid purchase and I feel I get the better end of the deal for the type of home theater I now have . I have not test out the 3d capability yet as I do not have enough for the active shutter glass -lrb- but that be what I be hope to get for my birthday -- hope my wife read this ! -rrb- . it be nice to know that optoma be now offer firmware upgrade to deal with Nvidia driver properly and that they may be ready for 3d blu-ray by year 's end -lrb- accord to some scuttlebutt I have read on a few tech message board -rrb- , this way , if I do eventually decide to make 3d a priority , I can go that route without too much fuss . I guess all that be leave for I now be to upgrade my a\/v receiver -lrb- hopefully sooner than later -rrb- and buy a few pair of those fancy 3-d glass . until then ? I be a very happy camper . +842 Projector NEG 1 do not waste you money . not sure what this be use for but I buy every adapter I could get and still be unsuccessful in play a Picture slide show on it from a laptop . do not waste you money ... . +502 Projector POS 5 I recommend that you place this under a 42 '' tv or larger with place it under you tv . I also recommend that you calibrate the speaker to obtain the best result . it work best for I hook it directly up to my Blu Ray Player vs just hook it up to the tv by itself . finally this speaker need a sub woofer to obtain the low base sound that will add much joy to you movie watch . +831 Projector POS 4 the mount be slightly confusing to figure out , but it end up be much better look than anticipate , and it be very secure . it also allow proper leveling of the projector , and then angle in 3 axis . no problem with it , I would recommend it for any Epson projector . +472 Projector POS 4 amazing little projector that have be clamp onto my camera tripod , and it just cant help but give great Picture Quality , and i deduct a star for bad audio quality , easily remedy by take the Audio out from the source rather than from the Projector . otherwise at 100-120 inch near perfect screen quality , every time . yes there be a lag time of 5 minute for warm up for best pq , and you need to manually focus to get best result every time , but i like tinker around with it anyways . the remote be spot on , and the HDMI port excellent , though i need to get a extra long hdmus to mini hdmus cable , which can be a pain in the ass . but other than that , , , , projector for projector , whether its PS3 , blu ray , or whatever you can throw at it , this little baby will crunch it up and spit out a image worthy of more expensive projector , , , the size and form of this lead Proj . be unbelievable , and Texas Instruments have do a remarkable job in miniaturize , and to buy this projector be to tap into the latest and best of LED DLP HD projector tech . enjoy ! +210 Projector POS 5 this projector be sick ! Peroid . I buy this projector on Dec , 23 2010 and it arrive on Christmas Eve . 2 hour out of the box it be up and run perfectly . the instulation be quicker than usual because I have a infocus lp640 install previously . the only reason it take that long to install be because the janky , so call `` universal '' overpriced mount that I buy from worst buy , be universal only to about 2 model of projector on the market ... go figure . anyway after retrofitting the mount , and a few adjustment . . splakaw !! Perfect ! after turn this thing on , and with zero picture adjustment the picture , brightness and black level be great , especially when compare to the infocus that I have be use . the infocus be ok but only because I have nothing else to compare it to . I buy the thing from the local `` hookup '' man for 300 buck so I guess I get what I pay for . it be capable of display a hd signal , but not with nearly the appeal and quality as the hd66 . so after a good month at the office , and countless review and research hour , I decide to go with the hd66 team up with the onkyo ht 6300 7.1 surround sound system which i order at the same time , by the way my wife be PISSED !! ah well , can not return it after it be fully install and the box be destroy ... guess we gotta keep it all , sorry ! this projector , and that surround sound system make a wicked team . the Lions , and Pistons never look so good at lose at my house , and I can shoot the dust off a opponent nose in c.o.d from 200 yard away ! and ps3 blu-ray be nut ! overall I be a very hard person to please when it come to these thing , a bear skeptic . I be very particular about my system , how they be hook up and preform . I hate dangling , expose wire and will spend two week if necessary to perfect my setup . I never wright review only read they . I purposely fail customer survey , especially the one for the company i have to make check out 4 every month , directv , dte , sprint pc , etc. . . -lrb- everything should be free n my opinion -rrb- but I be so pleased with my hd66 I be inspire to give back for once . ca not wait for the 3d-xl convertor box to drop ! if you want a great projector buy the hd66 , the quality , feature , and all out performance be great , and the price be a add bonus . the manual zoom , and focus allow for perfect tweak , and adjustment . my setup : - 12 ft throw - ceiling mount - ps3 - 3d capable hdmus - directv hd - xbox 360 - onkyo ht-6300 7.1 - optimum 3d-xl ... ... come soon as it be available +14 Projector POS 5 I purchase this projector last year and have be nothing but happy with it . I have not use it be hdtv capability -lrb- since I have no source -rrb- , but I use it to display movie from a computer regularly . with more input mode than you probably need , this projector will handle almost any display need . I have use it for VGA and DVI input , as well as s-video for my ps2 . as a computer monitor it perform spectacular up to resolution of 1024x768 . it be capable of down sampling 1280x1024 input , but it leave 12 point text nearly unreadable during the down sample . I have be use it successfully at 1024x768 to play game and movie and it perform spectacularly . when display analog tv input from my ps2 it do very well . final Fantasy 10 show only minor blur from be display in a large monitor , and overall I be very happy with it be analog tv capability . as a monitor for a media center pc be amazing . after adjust the setting the display be better than my parent rear projection screen . after all that be say , there be a few problem : 1 . the down sampling from 1280x1024 leave a lot lack . I try to use this resolution to play world of Warcraft and the text distortion eventually cause a headache . try to program with 12 or 14 point text in this resolution cause similar problem . however , if I be simply view a movie I doubt I would have notice the down sampling artifact . if you plan on play computer game or do thing like program on this projector , be aware you will need to be in 1024x768 -lrb- not nearly as much of a problem as you would think , as you be on a 5 foot display ... but still a slight letdown -rrb- . 2 . there be only one `` user mode '' for display setting , but it have very different need for different input . for instance , ps2 have a radically darker output than a VGA computer connection , and leave the brightness up when switch to a computer cause a wash out effect . the build in option `` movie '' `` game '' -lrb- and one other I can not recall -rrb- be acceptable , but hand tweaking the display setting for a particular input invariably lead to a cleaner brighter picture with more distinguishable color . I would have like to have at least 5 user setting for display . 3 . if you be not use the right display setting for you input the output may be horrible . effect range from dark color in a ps2 blend into black , to wash out on a computer connection . further , change the contrast and brightness sometimes have radical effect on how many color be visible . 4 . the projector do not have auto light sense as have be find on tv 's since I be bear . when you turn on the overhead light , you usually need to adjust the display to be brighter . this be something that a trivial bit of circuitry can , and should , handle . with those problem state , I would like to repeat , of the projector on the market I believe this be the best home theater \/ personal use choice . most people will not change input constantly , and set you user setting to handle you movie input should be enough for most . as a computer display at 1024x768 it allow for team editing of document , and would easily handle powerpoint if I use it . in the average situation , the room lighting be dark while use a projector , and auto light sense will not be a issue . if you be go to buy one projector this year , bar any amazing new competition it should be this projector . it be low cost , very bright , handle almost any input you could want , and very good at display movie and computer screen . +590 Projector POS 5 great video , great size , great quality . as everybody else I think it need a audio-out connection . the built-in speaker be basically useless , but its better than nothing . I be very pleased with the product . totally recommend . sorry for bad english . +493 Projector POS 5 I buy this projector while I be station in Baghdad in the spring of 2006 to play my ps2 game . I purchase it refurbish at 100 hour and 3300 hour later , it be still work like a charm . sometimes I forget to clean the dust from the filter but that do not affect the play any . I mainly use it as a second monitor for my laptop through hdmus and at the time of my purchase , it be ahead of it be technology for price ratio . it be one of the best investment I have make and go great with a bottom scissor Da-Lite projector screen . 3 thumb up ! +438 Projector POS 4 my expectation for a $ 200 projector be not high . but really it put out a decent picture . Hung up a shower curtain liner -lrb- suggest on a forum -rrb- and plug in the dvd . kid watch some flix at night . . they love it . lot of input which I like . sound be decent for the little speaker . now my cable input do not work as well as I have hope and I may try that again . I will say . . if you need much support I would not hold my breath . just try to find the manual online be a worthless effort . Pretty much on you own I think . +32 Projector NEG 2 I receive my screen the 120 hd . it arrive with minor damage to the box . when I open it , I quickly notice a dent on the back side of the screen . I be not to concern with this , know that this side would not be see . after hang the screen , and pull it down , it look really nice . as other have mention , there be a few wave in the screen , but it look great . Mine have a small problem though , once you pull it down and lock the screen , it retract back up on its own , its hard to notice right away since this motion be very slow . in about 45 min the screen be back in its original position . I do not want to deal with the hassle of send it back , so I decide to tie it down with a hook screw attach to we console stand . you can not tell its rig , but I plan to get a better one in the future , this will do for now consider the price . it blow to have get a damage one . I contact Favi via they website and receive a email back . the rep there already know what my problem be , but ignore my request for technical help . if you need a cheap screen , go for it , take the chance of get a good one , but be prepare to deal with the issue of a lemon . +584 Projector POS 5 nice usb to pc connection it be truly a plug n ' Play ! I just scan through the Quick Guide and I be able to operate the projector easily . my only concern be whether the 2600 lumen would be enough light intensity consider the natural light present , not to mention the church 's plain white wall be use to project image . however , it be plenty enough the project image off of Power Point presentation be quite legible and colorful from over 300 ft. . needless to say , I highly recommend this product !!! diff --git a/train/RiceCooker.txt b/train/RiceCooker.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..b6b88ed9592145ace2aa8038ba4950b007f24821 --- /dev/null +++ b/train/RiceCooker.txt @@ -0,0 +1,701 @@ +740 RiceCooker POS 5 this be a great tool , you can make a whole meal at one time . gerat for tho who have a small place to cook . to be able to cook rice , vegy and mabie some fish all at one time . love it and the price be good . +859 RiceCooker POS 5 I be not good at cooking rice , luckily this machine do it for I .

I like my rice on the sticky side so I have use 1 1\/4 - 1 1\/2 cup of water per one cup of rice -lrb- and this be white rice -rrb- depend on how sticky you want the rice . I have make brown rice only once so not much to write about that other than I use the suggest rice to water ratio in the product instruction . also have not use the steam tray to make any vegetable or anything else . as far as the product itself : it work great , the positive : no bubble over the lid -lrb- and I do not wash or rinse my rice -rrb- . the button be very straight forward , one for white and one for brown rice . clean up be very easy . there be really no negative yet since I have only have it for about a month -lrb- since write this review -rrb- . but two thing : -lrb- 1 -rrb- the cord be not retractable and -lrb- 2 -rrb- the tray that collect excessive water do not fit sturdily in the back its a bit loose , but it have not be a issue . neither of those thing would be deal breaker for I , I would still purchase this product again if I have to . so over all it do what I expect it to do , which be steam rice and it do it great . +399 RiceCooker POS 5 get it for $ 100 . just use it for half a month , and still not quiet familiar with all of its function . but it do good job .

I love the design and it really do not take up much more space than the 10 cup cooker it replace . I love the multi-functionality of it , though I have not try every setting yet . I have only make rice and use the steamer to steam some veggy to perfection . clean up be a absolute breeze !

I have not test it on oatmeal or as a veggie-steamer yet , but that be my next project . +347 RiceCooker POS 4 have yet to fully explore the option of the cooker , but it be clearly a good quality product . unlike the cheap manufacturing of company like cuisine art . the rice and quinoa i have make so far be perfectly cook , but at least with quinoa , because i be not sure what set to use , i choose brown rice and decide to open it 10 min early , which be just right . it be just a matter of use and time ... +669 RiceCooker NEG 2 the lid be attach to the cooker , so it be impossible to properly clean ... and the metal of the cooker be porous . I accidentally leave some vegetable in the cooker overnight . a common mistake -- usually easy to clean up after . but because of the porous metal on the inside of the lid , and the fact that it can not be unattached , it be impossible to clean the stench of rotten vegetable out of the lid . everything I make after that taste of it , until I finally have to throw the unit away . again . impossible to clean . you can not let it sit unwashed overnight , not even once . if you do -- forty dollar out the window . +504 RiceCooker POS 4 I be Japanese\/American , and have eat steamed rice all my life . have own a rice cooker almost all of my adult year . this be my second Zojurishi cooker . own a Zojurishi be so way worth it . why ? it just plain cook the rice as well as it can be make . I few year ago , I relocate to a far away local and eventually purchase a run of the mill rice cooker , and never like it . finally purchase another Zojurishi and now think I be silly for the time I do not have it . full feature and cooking option be cool too . the only draw back on my current model be that it do not have a run off for excess condensation , like my other one have . this do not affect the quality of my rice , just a noticeable difference . I shop and Amazon offer a excellent price with free shipping . no brainer . +906 RiceCooker POS 5 I be very happy with the item as it be what I want . I be also happy about the service as the item arrive on time and without any problem . good luck with you future business quhongqus +305 RiceCooker POS 4 I do notice in other review that this 3 - `` Cup '' rice cooker refer to a cup that be not actually a cup . turn out that it be 3\/4 of a cup . also to cook brown rice you be restricted to just 2 `` cup '' which be actually then just one and 1\/2 of a cup , which I be sorry to say be not a lot . I be also unhappy to learn that there be no setting for sticky rice . it do make great rice . +262 RiceCooker POS 5 I think it be expensive . now use it every day for over a month my view have change . Worth every cent . one of my best buy . the rice it make be restaurant quality . be good to yourself , buy it ... ... you deserve it . +812 RiceCooker POS 4 the rice cooker be a gift for a relative . it be highly reocmmen by another relative from Japan . the fine print be IMPOSSIBLE to READ ! +652 RiceCooker POS 5 this be the best rice cooker I have see in the market , I like the option of time delay , white , brown rice , steamer and that you can leave on warm for as long you want and feel safe .

I be not a big rice eater till I find this gem . +321 RiceCooker NEG 1 THIS ITEM WAS ONLY A BABY RICE COOKER for one portion not what I be LOOKING for RETURNED for REFUND PLUS AMERICAN VOLTAGE no use for UK +841 RiceCooker POS 5 this be my first fancy rice cooker , and I be a bit apprehensive about how much use it would get . we be not especially big rice eater . not to worry , I use it several time a week . it work well as a small slow cooker , I can finally make good black bean soup -lrb- it take a long time -rrb- . I have also start make sticky rice and steel cut oats -lrb- porridge setting with 3:1 oats : water -rrb- which both take a long time . this be where the timer be great . I put in the ingredient in the morning\/evening and it be ready when I get up\/home . cleanup be very easy , the gooey porridge almost fall out clean when I hold the pot upside down . just do not try to cook too much at once , that could be a mess . the retractable cord be nice too . now if only it make bread , yogurt , and waffle I could reclaim some precious kitchen space . +880 RiceCooker POS 4 this rice cooker prepare pretty good rice ; but the bread baking function be a little weak and time consuming though . +158 RiceCooker POS 4 this Rice cooker be perfect for cooking just enough rice without much time and effort ! there be not much clean up and the rice be always warm and tasty ! it be a great choice ! +218 RiceCooker POS 5 great rice cooker . Rice be cook just right every time . but that be what I expect this from this device . now for the unexpected : Eggs , soft boil and hard boil -lrb- steamed actually -rrb- come out perfectly . the timing on soft egg need to be adjust for desire consistency . just follow the direction for hard egg . the hard cook egg be easier to peel than boiled egg . another surprise be the perfect cooking of steel cut oats . since the oats be steam there be no danger of burning and stick to the cooking vessel . overall I be very pleased with this appliance and highly recommend it . +811 RiceCooker NEG 1 I just buy this a couple of week ago , and I have try cook jasmine rice two time . both time , the rice come out pasty and unpleasant . what be wrong here ? if I be do something wrong , I would appreciate the advice and I 'll update my rating if that be possible . +964 RiceCooker POS 5 I love this device . its set and forget . come back 30min or 50min , do not matter , the rice be perfect . White rice , brown rice , basmatus and jasmine all come out restaurant quality . it be small , make just enough for my wife and I , and be not hard on the ac in the summer . it can also do pasta but you have to watch it a bit better than with rice . after get one for the home , I have get one for the office for when I need to stay late . I also want one for the truck for trip , but I know I would need something that could handle bump better . +499 RiceCooker POS 5 we have own several less expensive rice cooker , but this one have be well worth the cost so far . it have cook perfect rice without scorch every time we have use it -lrb- we prefer brown rice for a healthier diet -rrb- . it do take a little longer to cook but we have learn to time it to coincide with the rest of the meal . the clean-up be very quick and easy and it do not take up too much storage space . it be very well-made but we be a little surprised at how small the rice pot be . this have not present a problem for we as it make plenty of rice to meet we need . I have not cook anything else in it yet . my daughter live in Japan and say this brand be very good . the only other issue be that the cord be removable versus retractable . this also have not present a problem , but I do not remember if the information provide tell we that . it look like a miniature robot and we love to hear the start and end tune . +51 RiceCooker POS 4 when I open the box , I could not believe my eye . it be so small , almost like a toy . but it be enough to cook a meal for 1 or 2 people . and it cook much slower than my previous one make by rival , which break suddenly after only 3 month usage . Hope this one can last longer . +464 RiceCooker NEU 3 this be a good product and everything work fine . only problem be that the product display on amazon be kind of misleading . when you check the product on amazon , it show that include rice paddle , measure cup and a seperate vessel -lrb- which do not include in the package -rrb- . I be expect the vessel show in the picture . http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/aroma-arc-737g-pot-style-cooker-steamer\/dp\/b001a2kz6g +494 RiceCooker NEG 1 this be a great rice cooker until it break . I have have this rice cooker for about 7month . I make perfectly good rice last night and today when I go to make more the rice cooker be completely dead : -lrb- something like this should last more that seven month consider its only use every few week . +877 RiceCooker POS 5 I love this rice cooker . I have never own one before but use it at my brother 's house for make oatmeal and love the way it come out . you can set it up at night with the time you want it to be ready and it come out perfect . I have also make brown rice in it use the timer and it also come out great . the non-stick pan be so easy to clean . I can make enough rice in the 3 cup model for 4 people . I be so glad I buy it . +650 RiceCooker POS 5 the first day i get this , I make white rice . it be as fluffy and amazing as the best resturant rice . the second day , I make brown rice . it be the first time I have ever enjoy brown rice . it be more flavorful and have a more enjoyable texture than white rice -lrb- but only when make properly -rrb- . the zj make rice flawlessly , and every batch come out the same . I just put in rice and water and set the timer , then I wake up to perfect brown rice for breakfast . the only annoyance be the lack of a count-down timer . but that be no reason to avoid this cooker . just buy it . do not fret about the price . it be worth it for the convenience , reliability , and health benefit . +336 RiceCooker POS 5 we eat a lot of rice , almost daily . I have be use this for the past two year . we have cook Brown & white rice .

I be very happy that he have a cooker that 'll work for they so they can have some `` homemade '' meal while they be over there . +17 RiceCooker POS 4 this rice cooker work fine , the trick be 1 -rrb- rinse you rice , 2 -rrb- do not use the lid and it will not overflow . also , I use a electric kettle to boil the water first , then pour the already-hot water into the cooker with the rice , this will save some time . +630 RiceCooker POS 5 this product be the best . it be very easy to clean and make perfect rice . +40 RiceCooker NEG 1 this rice cooker hold 3 cup total , which would be 3 cup uncooked rice . however , rice double in size when cook , and it will not hold 6 cup of rice . this be pure false advertising . I add a picture show the measurement marking in the container so other can see that this rice cooker will hold 3 cup cook rice , not 6 cup . +311 RiceCooker POS 5 this crock pot be a great buy !! it be bargain price , it be very sleek look and I love that it have both brown and white rice setting . +378 RiceCooker POS 5 I purchase this mostly to make breakfast easier . I like have quinoa for breakfast , but I be not up to cooking in the morning . I read that it could be make in a rice cooker and think it would be nice to have it ready for I when I wake in the morning . I try it for the first time this morning and it be perfect ! I can not wait to try brown rice in it . +780 RiceCooker POS 5 I have dislike rice for almost my entire life ... until I discover perfectly cook , long-grain Basmati rice . unfortunately , when I try to replicate the experience use stovetop method , the result be extremely inconsistent . on a whim , I buy this rice cooker , and I have not regret it even for one moment . there be a couple of downside to be aware of , but nothing really that bad : - clock run off of a internal battery -lrb- since it show the clock even when the unit be not plug in -rrb- and it will no doubt be difficult\/impossible to replace when it run out , although I do not know how long that will be ? - when you start the cooking process , the timer do not even display a time estimate until the rice be already halfway cook . I wish it would at least show a vague estimate of the total cooking time when I press start . - internal container have easy-to-read water line measurement for all common type of rice ... except for long-grain white rice -lrb- which be the kind I like the most -rrb- . this seem like a obvious oversight , but oh well . other than those relatively small issue , I absolutely love this rice cooker , and I recommend it to everyone I know whenever I get the chance ! +266 RiceCooker POS 4 the aroma arc-1266f be a great rice cooker for a quick meal . it may not have fuzzy logic like other more expensive rice cooker ; however for $ 30 you can make anything from rice to steamed vegetable and other `` 1 pot '' recipe . +269 RiceCooker POS 5 good to cook . the rice taste better after use this rice cooker . but its a little bit large compare to my small kitchen . +447 RiceCooker NEU 3 good and affordable product for someone who do not cook rice frequently . for someone like I who eat rice almost daily , this rice cooker dry out my rice if leave on overnight . the cooker automatically turn on `` cook '' after certain number of hour , instead of keep the rice in warm mode like some other expensive japanese brand , where you can leave rice in cooker for a couple of day . +343 RiceCooker POS 4 pro Works well small & sufficient for 2-3 adult depend on how much rice you eat easy to clean & operate fast also useful for steam vegetable , pea , lentil etc & make boiled egg easily without have to watch if use a boil pot \/ pan con very barebone can include atleast the serve spoon sometimes water spit out if use to full or lot of water +525 RiceCooker POS 5 I have no complaint at all with this product . these beat cooking rice on the stove because when the rice be do the cooker immediately switch to warmer mode ; hence , you do not need to be nearby and remove the rice right away -lrb- as you do when cooking on stove top -rrb- . +818 RiceCooker POS 5 for many year , I consider a rice maker as I enjoy rice a few time a week but feel I do fine cooking it on the stovetop . it be easy . but eventually I decide to try one . this one have good rating so I go for it . it be a amazing little appliance . set it to go and relax . you rice may take a little more time to cook than on the stove but it do not need you constant attention . it will be perfectly cook , warm and wait for you . I like this cooker so much I just buy a second one for my daughter to take back to school with she . I highly recommend this one . +827 RiceCooker POS 5 I receive this rice cooker as a present , and I love it ! it cook the rice perfectly and steam the vegetable well . I have not try to cook meat it in , as I be a vegetarian , but it work great for what I need . I do add extra water when steam vegetable while cooking rice . I have cook asparagus , brussels sprout , and zucchini in this while also cooking rice . I have notice it sputter a little , but mine do not make a big mess as other reviewer have notice . I love that I can switch it on and walk away until ready to eat ! +817 RiceCooker POS 5 for the price , this be a beautiful rice cooker . the picture really do not do it justice . it be very well make and solid . I have make great wild and brown rice with it . for this , the only drawback be time . it take over a hour for brown rice . it be perfect , I just wish I know how long it take before I start dinner ! my daughter and I get this one together and she love it . she say it be she rice cooker . I be look forward to make a few of the other recipe , for thing like oatmeal , and other time sensitive dish . +375 RiceCooker POS 4 cook rice just right . I have have another aroma ricer cooker -lrb- 10 cup -rrb- before and it do a good job too . the old one have a removerable air vent for easy clean up and prevent the residue build up on the top -lrb- this one leave a mess -rrb- . this one do have a kool feature ; it beep to let you know that the rice be ready . overall it be a good buy . +853 RiceCooker POS 5 after read plenty of good review about this rice cooker , I decide to purchase it . I be very pleased with it and my rice be always perfectly cook . the cooker be ship on time and be of great quality . I will definitely be willing to purchase from this seller again ! +327 RiceCooker NEG 1 I be from South Asia and we main food be rice . we do not mind eat rice 3 time a day 365 day . we cook Basmati , Sona Masuli , Jasmine most of the time . \/ I have use almost all rice cooker similar to this price wise . I be very frustrated to see its black thing come out @ the very first week . I seriously deserve another . but I do not want same rc in my kitchen again . I have national brand before before this . which be very good . non stick inner pot be thick . but I myself mishandle it and nonstick get scratch and come out . but it still make good rice and keep moisture within . I prefer National over this B & D. let I share my experience . its inner pot be so light and non stick layer be poor . Mine come out within a week and even come out the place around the lid . I handle this one very carefully Bcoz I scratch previous one 's nonstick . I even dint let my husband to wash it and handle it by myself only . but it come out so easily i can not believe . I leave my rice in warm mode after cooking -lrb- I do not pull cord from plug -rrb- , at the bottom and top layer rice be so dry that you can not imagine eat it . when you cook rice around 2 cup , water overflow all over counter . and guess what , you can not cook more than 1 cup of rice if you want to put steamer inside . no star for this product ... but give one since I can not submit without it . pathetic +535 RiceCooker NEG 1 worst rice cooker ever . I only put in half a cup of rice and it boil over make the kitchen a huge mess . DO NOT BUY . +603 RiceCooker POS 5 I just get this , and just eat my first meal from it today . brown rice -lrb- the hardest to cook well -rrb- , and some steamed organic carrot , broccoli , baby bok choy and mustard green . some dry oregano and a little lemon juice for flavor . Perfect rice , delicious meal ! I follow the grocery store recommend proportion -lrb- 2 cup water to 1 measure of rice -rrb- for bulk long-grain brown rice , not the user manual -lrb- 1 up water to 1 measure of rice -rrb- and cook it for about a hour , add the veggie steamer at about 45 minute . it go to warm after about a hour , and rather than risk it burn the rice on the bottom , I let it sit on warm for 5 minute and then unplug it and leave it for another 5 minute . I stir it with a silicone spatula a couple of time while cooking . -lrb- the plastic spoon be miss from the box , but I would not have use it anyway , because I want to preserve the teflon as long as possible -rrb- . the result be , to repeat , perfect . a simple meal , totally delicious , cook without a kitchen . I like my toy , and I be look at a stainless steel japanese model with a supercomputer run it , that cost north of $ 250 . I buy this one on impulse , and it do the job for about $ 14 . I do not know how long it will last , and I do not care . it will pay for itself in 3 or 4 meal . a great intro to use a rice cooker , and I may be use it for year to come . recommend for a single person if you be cook a complete meal , or 2 people if you be cooking rice as a side dish . +988 RiceCooker POS 5 buy for a Christmas gift ... she call I when she be first use it and say she love it . `` and it be pretty too ! '' +287 RiceCooker POS 5 I never review product , but with this , I just have to . I be a non-cook and purchase this for three simple thing . steel cut oatmeal , brown rice , and perfect hard cook egg . this rice cooker do not dissapoint . its easy to use . clean up be a snap . I will never have to throw out egg again , because of my fail cooking skill . it will only do a small serve of the steel cut oats . half a cup of oats and two cup of water on the porridge set overnight . a batch bigger than that and it will boil over . so if you need more oats than that the bigger model may be best . Quinoa come out perfect also , use the white rice setting and the measurement and direction on the quinoa bag\/box . just do not add more liquid than the highest white rice line in the bowl , again boilover issue . my only small wish , be that the end of cycle timer be a little louder , if you be not right there with it , you may not hear it . definately five star , I would rate it higher if I could . +649 RiceCooker POS 5 I have hear about RICE COOKERS and wonder why I need one I could COOK RICE on the stove . why have I wait ? THIS MODEL be just the right size and had feature of the more expensive one . NOT TOO LARGE and NOT TOO SMALL , the lid lock not just rest on top , it catch the water from the CONDENSATION when you open the lid , it switch to keep WARM when the rice be done -lrb- which it somehow know -rrb- it have this padle to serve the rice , and the price be right ! now , no more boil over to CLEAN up and fresh rice in ABOUT 15 minute ! +599 RiceCooker POS 5 I receive this as a gift from my wife last Christmas . I would always want a rice cooker but have never use one - they just seem like a great way for a lazy guy like I to make food . since open it , I think it be fair to say that it be be use nearly every day to make something - rice , steel-cut oatmeal , and other dish . if you think these be only for rice , you be mistake . however , specifically when it come to rice , these be amazing . add a give number of scoop of rice , add water -lrb- or , better , broth -rrb- to the proper line , make sure the right type of rice be set -lrb- f you usually use the same type , this be a set-and-forget thing -rrb- , and turn it on . use the timer if you prefer . brown rice take a while , but come out amazing . other rice type tend to take less time and also turn out well , but give the benefit of brown over white , and give that the brown come out as soft as white normally do , brown be my go-to preference . Cleaning , as many have say , be trivial . just make sure you clean the lid attachment as well as the bowl . look into other recipe - steel-cut oatmeal use the timer make for a wonderful breakfast during the winter for those of we who live in colder climate . as far as durability go : mine be still work like a charm . if it die today - and it will not - that still mean I 'll have pay fifty cent or so per use , and it would easily be worth that . my guess be that , for most people , this will last for many year . +265 RiceCooker POS 5 the rice cooker work as advertise . it require nothing except put in rice and water , plug in , and rice come out few minute later . it have quite a large capacity , probably capable of handle up to 10 people 's dinner rice . I only use for two people , and it be slightly bigger than what I need . otherwise , it be a reliable product for a pretty cheap price . +252 RiceCooker NEG 2 have the rice cooker for maybe 3-4 week before it break on we , try another brand I have be let down by Black and Decker many time , no idea what it be they just become faulty too soon after purchase for my liking . +570 RiceCooker POS 5 cook rice very well and simply . two minor negative . although the pot be removable the lid be build in so its difficult to clean the lid . and the flower design on the outside be a bit cheesy . but it cook well . +139 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy this for my mom a couple of Christmas ' ago and she be still comment to I about how much she love it ! the flower design be a nice , pretty touch , as well ! +554 RiceCooker POS 4 I buy the rice cooker after debate the purchase for 2 year and shop around . pro : - make perfect rice - can make other grain in it - make fantastic and easy risotto - insert can go in dishwasher - have button for brown rice con : - release lot of steam , do not put on counter under cabinet - after use , need to sit open to dry out before put away - do not have timer , only preset button for brown rice , white rice and steam - have to use rice cup instead of normal measure cup overall I love this rice maker and will continue to use it . Hope it work for a long time !!! +395 RiceCooker POS 4 this be a great rice cooker with result so good that when I order in chinese and they ask I what kind of rice I 'll just say `` none , thanks '' . that be the gist of it : consistently perfect and flavorful rice with no effort , make it easy to recommend this small appliance in a heartbeat . that say , if you be a careful shopper like I and peruse all the review here on Amazon , here be some aspect that do not seem entirely cover : size . the 3 cup that this cooker be refer to be japanese `` go '' cup - only 3\/4th of the american counterpart -lrb- 180ml vs. 240ml as per wikipedium -rrb- . also , the capacity be reduce to 2 go cup when cooking brown rice - that be 1.5 american cup . I think that might explain some of the disappointment that people display after buy a `` 3 cup rice cooker '' . that say , I believe this should be sufficient for many use : 1\/2 go cup be just the right size for a side of rice for one person , and 1 go cup be practically a meal . design . I happen to find this cooker not attractive enough to keep out in the open . yes , it be get brush metal side , but the white plastic lining really make it look silly and inexpensive . it seem to be more a toy than a kitchen appliance and as one reviewer mention , it would go well with hello Kitty sticker -lrb- although she think it be cute ; as a guy , I do not -rrb- . also , when I first start a batch of rice , my thought be `` oh no '' as a electronic lullaby start just a tad too loudly . luckily , this can be switch to beep-only or silence altogether . Minus 1\/2 a star just for look . documentation . not as bad as I expect after read the `` Chinglish '' review . really , it be fine ! and you might not even need it , except once , to set the clock and alarm tone . time display . here go another 1\/2 star : the display will not tell you when the cooking be do until a few minute before finish . with cooking time of up to 1.5 hour that be a real nuisance . ok , I hear a lot of people say `` oh that be the nature of fuzzy logic '' - but it be not like the unit do not know when it 'll finish : if you set the timer to have you batch do by a certain time , it 'll be ready practically on the minute . I just want that display , that be all . USABILITY . some love of detail have go into the design of this machine , and as a computer\/interface person I appreciate that . I keep on thinking , `` wow the engineer must use this at home every day '' when the power cord retract , the clock do not lose the time as I unplug the unit , and cleaning could not possibly be easier . OTHER use . Oatmeal : Use only 1\/2 of the recommend amount of water on the package with the `` porridge '' setting . black rice : let it soak for a hour or more before cooking -lrb- easy , just set the timer -rrb- . +695 RiceCooker POS 5 it be so beautiful and fit girl ! i think it be enough for a college student ! I like it very much ! +580 RiceCooker POS 5 this product be all I expect and more . I be concern it would be too small for a two person family , but that be not the case . it make perfect rice and be easy to clean up afterwards . you must buy the Ultimate Rice Cooker cookbook to get the full benefit of this beautifully engineer cooker . +301 RiceCooker POS 5 make great rice and bread . Wish the buzzer be louder but otherwise its easy to clean and easy to use . non-stick make it easy to clean . bread size that come out be kinda small for slice loaf but if you slice it horizontally its ok . I have make rye and herb bread mix in it and both come out great . +474 RiceCooker NEG 1 I start have problem with this rice cooker right after Amazon 's 30 day return policy expire in December , 2010 . first it start spit liquid out the vent all over the counter . I call the company and they say return it under the one-year warranty . they say to send it in along with $ 12 to cover return shipping . I could expect a retun in 2-4 week . what kind of warranty be this . I take it to the Post Office and they say it would cost $ 12.50 to send it from il to CA . that total $ 24.50 for a warranty fix for a cooker that cost I $ 28 ! and I have to wait 2-4 week after they receive it from I to get it back ! I have be just use it as be for the last couple of month by set it over the sink to catch the mess , but now it do not work at all . I will purchase another from a different company . be sure to read aroma 's warranty before purchase anything from they . they warranty be not even woth as much as they rice cooker +21 RiceCooker POS 5 I pick the Sanyo ecj-hc55 base on the positive review on Amazon and because it come with a second bowl and lid . if you be look to use you rice cooker for more than just make rice , I strongly recommend this model , which cost about $ 10 more than the model with a single bowl . the second bowl allow you to make flavored rice dish , without leave any flavor behind to flavor you plain rice . both pot be very heavy , allow for very even cooking and no burning . cleanup be also very easy , due to the very effective , non-stick coating and the easily removable lid . as with most rice cooker in this category and price point , it do a excellent job on rice . measure you rice with the include cup , give it a rinse , add water to the measure inside the `` rice '' bowl , select the appropriate program -lrb- white rice in regular , firm , and soft , brown rice , sushi rice , porridge , etc -rrb- and you be reward with perfect rice in about a hour . there be also a nice countdown timer for the last 10 minute . once the rice finish and move to the `` keep warm '' setting , you rice stay great for hour , nice and moist with perfect temperature . so far we have use this cooker for white and brown rice , as well as jambalaya , paellum , lemon rice and rice and sausage . you can saute vegetable right in the cooker , before add the rice , to make complete meal right in the cooker . just use the `` Quick Cook '' program to heat the cooker up immediately , saute you veggy , then add rice and liquid and reset to a normal program -lrb- white or brown rice -rrb- and the cooker do the rest . +602 RiceCooker NEU 3 well it cook well but ruin it all by make the rice stick at the bottom . also there be only a cook and warm switch . you have to unplug it to completely turn it off . I wish I know . but now , I have no choice but to keep it . +563 RiceCooker POS 5 it do a excellent job of cooking for a single or double serve of rice while the meal be finish up . lot of complain about they break early in the first year , but after 5 month and 30 use , I have have no problem . +729 RiceCooker POS 5 I love this rice cooker ! my old one give up the ghost after something like 18 year of service . I have be very happy with it and debate with myself about `` how much better '' one of the newer electronic cooker could possibly be . I think the old one do a good job with whatever I put in it - white rice , brown rice , Kashi pilaf , and steel-cut oats - but decide to give this one a shot . well , this have be a revelation . it produce the most lovely , fluffy rice I have ever cook and make steel-cut oats exactly to my taste . I like the nice , heavy bowl and the carry handle be very handy when tuck it away in my lower cupboard . I have get a very small kitchen and the compact size be perfect . it be simple to use and the quality feel very nice . I think this be go to be a workhorse in my kitchen for a long time . +258 RiceCooker POS 5 I only cook white rice so it be very good in what it be suppose to do for I . the rice be more fragrant than when I use some other ricecooker to cook it . also , it be nice to have the beep after the rice finish cooking . the rice paddle be provide with it so you do not really need to buy it separately . the cord be a little shorter than what I would have like but no big deal since I have a power socket right by where I be put it now . +172 RiceCooker POS 5 I have be to Japan many time . the secret to authentic white or japanese white rice be quality rice and as my japanese friend say `` you must wash you rice at least 6 -7 time before you cook it '' . now here be the secret . put the rice in the bowl and fill half full with fresh water then swish round a few seconds with very clean hand . you will see the water turn the color of milk ! pour off milky color water and repeat at least 5-6 more time till water run mostly clear . you will see you will get much nicer and more authentic rice . so enjoy . +503 RiceCooker NEG 1 its so small that it will probably be good a for a serve for a 5yr old . . no exaggeration here ... size do matter +516 RiceCooker POS 5 it be really the best rice cooker for I . I can cook a little rice without burnt bottom anymore . prior to this one , I always have to cook more than I need and throw away the bottom part . also the rice just come out right . be a asian , it be such a big deal to have the rice do right . it be much better than the less expensive brand . +758 RiceCooker POS 5 base on the price , I expect this product to be mediocre , but I have find it to be more than apt at cooking rice and lentil . I cook AMAZING LENTILS . I be really impressed with this product , highly recommend . +574 RiceCooker POS 4 I have be try to cut back and eat out less and be look for way to eat simpler when I think of get a rice cooker . this little thing be exactly what I be after : good rice , make simply . and less than $ 15 to boot ! Easy to use , easy to clean , and a single bag of jasmine rice from the local Dominics will last I \* month \* . no complaint here . +230 RiceCooker POS 5 this be the second Zojirushi rice maker I buy , both exactly the same . we use the first one infrequently at home in nc to make white rice in a little over a half hour , brown rice in closer to a hour and a half . although it work perfectly , I do not begin to use it nearly every day until I discover that I could download the lose instruction manual from the mfr to use the delay cooking function , and more importantly that on the `` porridge '' set it will make excellent irish oatmeal from scratch use the preset instruction . now , we use the preset button to have rice ready for dinner , and oatmeal reliably ready in the morning . take avge 30 seconds to set up , cook uniformly , without ever boil over . we buy another for we NYC pie a terre , now can plan and control breakfast at home . just the right amount for two people . +913 RiceCooker POS 5 wake up to perfectly cook cinnamon steel-cut oats and come home to perfectly cook brown basmatus rice . it be like have you own mother 's meal ready for you when you get up or get home . I have a less expensive National rice cooker but it do not have the timer function and it be much harder to clean . I use this machine at least once a day and it be make stick to a healthful diet much easier . I be very happy to recommend this product . +843 RiceCooker NEU 3 I have just have this for a few day and make very good brown rice once . this one be very good for the price and operate very simply : no timer , on and warm setting . unplug to turn off altogether . there be no steam rack , which I do not think I 'll need anyway . I be forewarn by the other reviewer here about it , but the Amazon description say a steam rack be include . I make steel cut oatmeal in it today . early on the water boil over through the steam vent , so I unplug and then turn it on again and have no problem after that and the oatmeal be very good . the cook indicator switch to warm a few time before it be really do , so I just flip the switch on again . I 'll use less water next time . +519 RiceCooker POS 5 excellent rice cooker - I have own 2 aroma rice cooker now & they be both great . this one have a truly non-stick pan , and the steam come out of the spout gently , not spew out like some do . this be a great buy for a good price . we use it 2-3 time a week , and be happy so far ! Fluffy , perfect rice . I do not use the include measure cup - I have learn over time that for every 1c . of dry rice , add 1 1\/4 c. water , and it come out perfectly ! this be the case for sticky rice , jasmine , and regular long grain . happy rice cooking ! +13 RiceCooker POS 5 get tire of eat minute rice , decide to give this a try since I could not only make some jasmine rice , but also steam some vegee 's ... have only have this maybe a month , but have use it so much it just sit on top of the fridge ... see some steelcut oatmeal in the cabinet & make enough for 3 day , so much easier than cooking on the stovetop ... so easy to clean ... I could see why it would be great for college student ... have to try it out for maybe keep gravy warm next thanksgiving ... maybe steam some hotdog , put the bun in the steamer tray for maybe a minute ... hope it last a long time , if not at this price I would not hesitate to buy another , just order one for my niece . +750 RiceCooker POS 5 I have have the regular inexpensive rice cooker from wal-mart for year . they cook rice fine , or so I think . I want a rice cooker that look attractive sit out in the kitchen . I buy the aroma arc-150sb 20-cup Digital Rice Cooker and Steamer . I expect a prettier appliance that do the same job . I be so surprised when I taste my first bite of rice ! the rice be cook so well . it be fluffy , tender , not hard or mushy , but perfectly cook . it cook brown rice so well . the steamer be amazing . this appliance really steam quickly and well . it work just as well to cook rice and steam vegetable at the same time . this product really have impress I enough to take the time to write this review . it be well worth the 30-some dollar I pay for it on Amazon.com . I check e-bay and a bunch of other retailer and Amazon.com be by far the least expensive . and I get free shipping . it arrive with in two day of order . great product , great shopping service , great price ! +319 RiceCooker NEG 1 I buy this 2 1\/2 yr ago base on good review . now the non-stick coating start to peel off . I have handle it with tlc all the while . I have use many rice cooker before . after 5 or 6 year , they will have some kind of discolor at bottom of inner pot , but never the peel . and they be 1\/4 of the price I pay for this Sanyo product . +88 RiceCooker NEG 1 I have only have the rice cooker for 30 day and none of the button work . I can not turn it off or set the clock . will try to return it . +950 RiceCooker NEG 1 I would give this a zero star if I could ! I use it once , have no problem . plug it in tonight to make plain white rice and it die after only heat the water . this be ridiculous . I guess you really do get what you pay for . I be so upset with b&d; ; I think they make a better product . I do not recommend this ! +236 RiceCooker POS 5 I havnt try white rice yet but brown rice come out perfect . I even put to much liquid I think , and it still come out great . brown rice do take a long time in it but I dont mind since it come out so awesome . I add chicken broth instead of water and small diced chicken . the entire pot be go within 20 minute . when I try white rice I will add more to my review . +902 RiceCooker POS 5 I order this brand because my friend say its the best rice cooker on the market . completely agree , the rice always cook perfectly . the only frustration be that it take quite a while , so prep be necessary so you be not wait forever . its a very pretty rice cooker and the musical start and finish sound be cute . +919 RiceCooker POS 5 I have the same usual story of woe ; use a cheap , awful rice maker with a glass lid for year , have to deal with a awful mess anytime I just want a side of rice . I finally give in and order this 3-cup rice cooker after do a lot of research . it be as great as everyone say ! it be just deliver this afternoon , and I have already pull it out and cook up some rice . it be so simple , I do not even bother read the instruction . the truly fantastic thing about it be , I be able to go run a errand that suddenly come up without worry about leave it sit . when I get home , a \* perfectly \* cook serve of rice be wait for I . it be quite expensive , and I debate buy it because I be move to Japan next year . but I have absolutely no problem with spend the measely $ 20 to send it on over to myself . admittedly , I be only one person , and never cook for more than 4 , but I can not see this rice cooker fail to deliver for a small family of average eater . I only make one cup -lrb- smaller than the ' 1 cup ' we use in cooking -rrb- , and it make a full bowl of rice . this be the first time I have ever bother write a review for anything -- but I simply have to , because I be so impressed . I would reccomend this cooker to anyone who love eat lot of quality rice . : -rrb- +58 RiceCooker NEU 3 a nice cooker , but the rice burn or brown a bit on the bottom of the pan . it do cook the rice nicely and I have try several . +748 RiceCooker NEG 1 I do not realize the pan be make of teflon-coated plastic when I purchase it . so I return it . I do not want more chemical in my food than we already have . +341 RiceCooker NEG 2 this be a very nice steamer . but the cup measurement be NOT we cup measure so when it say steam 3 cup it actually do about 2 -lrb- maybe be asian cup size -rrb- so this be not a good size for a average family of 4 . +440 RiceCooker POS 5 this be perfect size for I . do not take up a lot of counter space and it also work as a steamer , which be a plus . I have be use this for awhile and have make perfect rice every time . I love to set it and forget it . good product overall +683 RiceCooker POS 5 my japanese friend pick this out for I from the Amazon site . you can spend upward to 250.00 for a rice cooker , but this one work great . the gentleman at the japanese market say that rice cooker do not do a great job with brown rice and he be right , but it cook it good enough for I . White rice , sticky rice come out great . a little brown with some type of rice on the bottom of the pan be normal my friend tell I . in fact some people include myself like it . pay $ 58.00 and free shipping . +12 RiceCooker NEU 3 this be really a good rice cooker with multiple function . I have be use it for about two year without any problem . but recently , I find small spot start to peel off from the inner pod . so I have to stop use it . I try to find a replacement pod . but I be tell that the inner pod be discontinue . it be really disappointed . they still sell the rice cooker online . but no where to order the inner pod . +980 RiceCooker POS 5 I love love love my B&D; rice cooker ! we use ours at least 4 - 6 time per week . even with this heavy use it have hold up to the test of time . it be perfect for serve 2 - 6 adult -lrb- 2 to 3 if main course , 4 to 6 if a side dish -rrb- . besides rice -lrb- brown ! -rrb- we also make fried rice , soup , chili and stew in we `` rice cooker '' . I even use my multi-purpose cooker like a fast cooking crock pot ! I love the non-stick interior ! Tips : \* the `` rice '' cooker work well for many type of grain : brown rice , millet , quinoa , rice blen , etc. . \* the general rule of thumb for most all grain be 1 cup grain to 2 cup water . the rule for the B&D; rice cooker be to use slightly less water . \* if the cooker make a splashy mess , reduce the amount of water per cup of dry grain and try again or try add a slight amount of oil or butter . this help to reduce `` foam '' of some grain . cooking suggestion : \* the evening before I 'll put a cup or three of mixed bean with water to soak overnight in the rice cooker , the next day i simply rinse the now soaked bean and dinner be ready in 1 to 3 hour depend on what I be put in it , or how frozen the small roast be before I start . a simple recipe : french ONION soup 1 medium onion , chop Bragg 's liquid amino , several splash water I combine in the rice cooker , set to high and it be ready when the onion be transluscent . this only take 25 - 45 minute depend the size batch I make . Bragg 's liquid amino can be find here on Amazon . please leave comment below with any question or if need for some recipe idea . +732 RiceCooker NEG 2 the teflon coating be very thin and not well secure . it be easily scrap off despite only have use the supply plastic spoon with it . Rice then stick to the scrape off area , this make it hard to clean . +864 RiceCooker POS 5 we love we Zojirushi Fuzzy Logic Rice Cooker . for starter , it make perfectly delightful rice every time . this be it be purpose in life , so we be not surprise . it be also very cheerful . it sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star when it begin cooking , and it sing another little song when it finish . we want one of these thing for month but be concern about spend this kind of money on a rice cooker . we already have a rice cooker - the cheap sort that activate when you plug it in and produce dry , burn rice . we should not have wait so long . everything rice related be now easy and delicious . it be very easy to use and to clean . the instruction booklet be awfully thick and , at first , make I slightly nervous . it turn out it be just print in multiple language and contain recipe . finally , the phrase , `` Zojirushi Fuzzy Logic Rice Cooker '' be fun to say . +569 RiceCooker POS 5 im currently deploy in Afgahistan and be look for a small , durable rice cooker\/warmer to make whie rice . the size be perfect cause all I need be enough for myself and 1 other friend . it keep the rice fresh and the timmer fuction be perfect . all I do be add the rice and water and set it before I wake up so that I have fresh rice for breakfast -lrb- I be a type of person that can eat rice for every meal -rrb- . the only thing I didnt like be the melody it play and how loud the beeping be . I live in a tent with other people , and we have diffrent sleep time , so it would be nice if there be a opition for silent mode . but hey , its not like everyone in my type of situation . I would recommend this to any bachelor or student . +873 RiceCooker POS 5 great product , fast shipping and work very well . I be use it every day . I love it . the rice cooker cook the rice just right and keep it warm for all day . Easy to clean and small enough to keep in refrigerator . +769 RiceCooker NEG 1 I think I could trust the Black and Decker name ... not so . this useless piece of equipment stop work after two use . when I call the customer care number -lrb- the bold black number on the front of my Rice Cooker user manual that say customer service -rrb- I be tell it be a company that offer customer reward . think I have misdial , I call back ... same result . I explain I do not want any reward offer , just want to talk to customer support . they cave I a toll free number ... turn out it be a 1-800 number directory number . . not B&D; support . I give up since I do not think this item warrent any more waste time . I 'll be cooking rice the old-fashioned way , unfortunately . +498 RiceCooker POS 5 I be not a rice cooker expert . just a guy that be look for a quality rice cooker . one that would make my life easier and one that would not force I to re-enroll in ITT to learn how to use it . this unit come highly acclaimed on various site , have the logic circuitry that I want and do not require a mortgage . this cooker be so user friendly and make fabulous food and fabulous rice every stinkin ' time without a babysitter . the clock and circuitry on the front panel remain on and visible even when the unit be not plug in due to a internal battery . this be rippin ' cool cuz I do not want to be force to leave it plug in due to limited counter space but also I do not want to reset the stupid thing every time I do replug it in ! cool stuff . great cooker in every way . it have a cool push-button lid that when press it allow the hinged top to open at just the right rate due to power controlled hinge prevent the unit from just fling open . just quality and thoughtful all around . would buy it again in a heartbeat ! +453 RiceCooker POS 5 I be look for a appliance that could take the place of my bamboo rice steamer . this be it and more . First off , it cook rice very nicely . I always rinse my rice , so I have have no problem with the boil over that some seem to have have . I use the steam feature on frozen fish , and it come out tender and perfectly cook . I have not use it as a slow cooker yet , but I imagine it will do just fine . I think this be a great rice cooker , and the price can not be beat . +768 RiceCooker POS 5 I have never own a rice cooker and since I be eat a lot more rice with meal lately , I want to get one that would just cook a cup or so -lrb- of cook rice -rrb- - this way I do not have to put it in the refrigerator for the next day or sometimes for day . its such a hassel to try to rewarm rice . this small cooker be just what I need . it make a serve or more , depend upon how much you want to make . if I make two serving , I just leave the other serve in the cooker for dinner and I do not have to rewarm it . its still `` warm '' , but not cold -lrb- I do not use the warm function , I just unplug it after its cook -rrb- . I just love it , the rice come out perfect each time . the cooking time though be not what they say it be . I find that when the cook light go off and go to the warm function , its do -lrb- at least for the Jasmine Rice -rrb- . +938 RiceCooker POS 5 I actually have not use this as a rice cooker yet , but for rolled oats in the morning , it can not be beat . I love the small size , about the size of a toaster , very easy to clean , just the right size for up to 4 people with reasonable appetite . nice detail like a retractable cord and a clock that work even when unplugged -lrb- watch battery-powered -rrb- . +753 RiceCooker NEG 2 I have often be quite pleased with Black & Decker product in the past . I buy this rice cooker on-line think it would be ideal for cooking small quantity of rice . it do not work . too often I think manufacturer dream up a idea , design the item , but apparently do not actually test the product to find out if it actually work well . such be the case with this wispy flimsy little product . it be too small . the fluid boil out of the lid vent and from around the rim all over the nearby area . manufacturer need to pay more attention to the result of they design . at least this little cooker be better ground and more stable than the 6 cup aroma junk on three skimpy nub that make it unstable and easily tip over . +310 RiceCooker POS 5 just get this today and cook white rice ! it taste just like it would in a resuraunt ! i heard you can make soup and such so i be very excite . +508 RiceCooker POS 5 I purchase this rice cooker a year ago . it still work great , make perfect rice , and be reasonably easy to clean . recommend . +323 RiceCooker POS 5 I love this rice cooker .

I do not use the warmer . I take out the rice when finish . I do not intend to use it for bread making . I have a breadmachine . I be very happy with this Sanyo rice cooker . +992 RiceCooker NEU 3 the measure cup include with the Black & Decker Automatic Rice Cooker that I purchase be not the measure cup picture on the box nor be it the one picture in the instruction manual . the instruction manual state `` measure desire amount of rice to be cook use rice measure provide ; do not use 1-cup measure cup . -lrb- the rice measure provide hold 2\/3 cup uncooked rice - about 5 oz . or 140 gram . -rrb- '' the measure cup that be include with the rice cooker I purchase do not have a 2\/3 cup graduation on it . there be graduation on the side of the cup of 1\/4 , 1\/2 and 3\/4 . there be no graduation at the top of the cup . I be guess it hold one cup total . anyway , as there be no 2\/3 cup graduation on the measure cup provide I be leave wonder what quantity of rice I be suppose to use . be I suppose to fill the measure cup provide to the top or should I use my own trusty 2\/3 cup measure cup . as note above the instruction manual clearly state `` do not use 1-cup measure cup . '' I be sure with some experimentation I could get the rice to water ratio just the way I like it . however , I feel that I should not have to experiment with it to get it to cook the rice correctly . I can not testify as to how the unit cook rice or to it be durability as I be return it unused . I could not decide on how many star to give this rating . I be give it three star as I can not recommend whether you should buy this rice cooker or not as I have not actually use it . however , if you be willing to experiment with the rice to water ratio this may the the rice cooker for you . good Luck . +73 RiceCooker NEG 1 this be not a food steamer .

I have only make upto 2 cup of brown rice , not 3 so I be not sure if make 3 cup would cause the water overflow people seem to have . it also steam vegtable , but this model seem small to bother with . +263 RiceCooker POS 5 this little machine make just the right amount for the two of we with a little left over for snack on later . we eat brown & wild rice mostly ; it cook perfectly every time , keep it warm & delicious for the duration of a meal & even much longer . I have not try any of the other cooking option yet -lrb- white rice , porridge -rrb- . it be also a snap to clean . bonus : look great on the counter , match my other stainless appliance ! +598 RiceCooker POS 5 I absolutely love this cooker . cooking and steam together be awesome . it have three option : White rice , brown rice and steam . the option be actually work . my husband hate pasta but when I cook the pasta in the rice cooker -lrb- I do not know the result but have no time for cooking on the stove -rrb- he love it !! good price for this good gadget . +324 RiceCooker POS 5 I almost do not buy this rice cooker because of the review I read here ... ... but I do get it ... as I like the fact that the lid be separate and can be put in the dishwasher ... I make rice in it and it come out perfect . I have no sticking on the bottom at all ... . . just follow direction and stir rice after 15 minute ... . . then forget it ... . I use 2 cup rice and four cup water ... salt and spray the bottom with a little pam ... . perfect ... I cook a lot of rice as I add it to my dogfood ... with can and dry ... and we eat rice at least once a week ... so buy it ... it be a great price ... +131 RiceCooker NEU 3 my first rice cooker , and I be surprise that `` 6 cup '' do not mean 6 cup ... but rather `` 6 Oster cup '' , which be much smaller than a normal cup . if you lose -lrb- or melt -rrb- they provide measure cup , you be mostly screw . all that say , it do work well , and free up a burner on the stove to do other thing , just do not expect to make `` real cup '' of rice . +540 RiceCooker POS 5 excellent quality . do a great job at cooking rice . not sure how `` fuzzy logic '' work - but it taste good ! +0 RiceCooker NEG 1 I have own two of these rice cooker by aroma . while they work , I really like they . I like be able to cook rice ahead of time , and then hold it as I get the rest of the dinner ready . the first one of these stop work after 3 month . the second last 1 month . this model be not very expensive as rice cooker go , so I do not try to contact the manufacturer base on other people 's experience with that , just not worth the hassle . but you can bet I 'll be buy a different brand next time ! +692 RiceCooker POS 4 only have this about a few week , but I use this every 2 day or so . Works great , close tightly so there be no spatter on the counter . Rice start to brown on the bottom but I usually turn it off as soon as the it be do ; if you leave it on `` warm '' for a while it would probably burn . +942 RiceCooker POS 5 for the price , the way it look and the way it work , it be awesome . I live in the dorm , and i do not need a huge rice cooker , it be I and usualy a couple friend . its enough for all of we ... and it have a awesome steamer that i have yet to use , but it look pretty legit . I come from a family that eat rice with every meal . this be the best purhase i have make all year ! +412 RiceCooker POS 5 it be not Rocket Science ! all Rice cooker be the same . put the Rice in ... add some water ... . . Voila Cooked Rice . Easy to use Rice Cooker , just plug and play . . +315 RiceCooker POS 5 Works as promise , cook excellent rice within 40-50 minute . Easy to clean and a breeze to control the menu . +360 RiceCooker NEG 1 when it work , this be a nifty device - compact , light , and make good rice . but three time now , I have go to retreive the rice for dinner and discover that the machine switch to `` warm '' long before the rice be cook . that really screw up dinner plan . the whole point of a cooker like this , for I , be that , follow Ron Popiel 's mantra , I can `` set it and forget it '' . with this black and Decker , i can not , render it useless for my purpose . at $ 15 , it be not worth return , but I be annoyed . +146 RiceCooker POS 4 so far -lrb- 8-10 use -rrb- , this product have be perfect . positive point : - do exactly what you ask it to do . my rice -lrb- either white basmatus or jasmine , or brown or black -rrb- be all well cook , and it reach my perfect taste after have wait for 10-15 minute on `` keep warm '' . - seem to be a good quality item compare to its -lrb- rather cheap -rrb- price . - I do not remark any spill around the exhaust vent of my rice cooker , even if I read it happen to a few other people with the same item -lrb- it happen with my previous rice cooker , and do not really bother I anyway -rrb- . - quite easy to clean , except for the lid -lrb- see below -rrb- . negative point : - the rice take quite some time to cook -lrb- around 30 minute -rrb- , which be a bit longer than if you do it in a saucepan -lrb- either w \/ a lot of water or in sushi-rice\/risotto style -rrb- , and also a bit longer than with my 2 previous rice cooker . - quite easy to clean , except for the lid , which do not seem to be able to be take apart from the entire rice cooker , which force you to clean it in try not to put water anywhere else on the rice cooker -- -rrb- not very practical , consider that the rice steam stick a bit if it dry , and that it be really easy to clean right away -lrb- well , a bit less with this machine -rrb- . I do not test the other function of the rice cooker -lrb- slow cooking + steamer -rrb- , but I doubt you will do it every day either ... all in all , I like this product and would buy it again without hesitate . I 'll remember the aroma brand , which I do not know before . +624 RiceCooker NEU 3 this be actually a 7 cup rice cooker , the sorry excuse in the manual try to explain , that it be 7 cup of uncooked rice which be equal to 16 cup of cook rice . but feel mislead give that you can pick up a 7 cup rice cooker for much less . have say that the cooker do what it be suppose to , the non stick coat work beautifully , and I like the fact that you can take out the lid and wash it rather than try to clean with wet paper towel when the lid be attach like in some other cooker -lrb- that just yuck !! imagine how much bacterium end up infest all that warm starch -rrb- , another problem I have be the rubber bush for the vent be miss , not a major problem but something which should be note . +273 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker work great . only have it for a few week now , so do not know how long it will last , but it appear to be make well compare to some other brand I see in the store +596 RiceCooker POS 4 this unit be for 3 cup uncooked rice , which produce 6 cup cook , rice actually expand to fill capacity . I receive this as a present , but plan to upgrade to a more advanced unit . this one be good , small , and inexpensive . you have to expect a few short coming , but it do a great job consider price . +505 RiceCooker POS 5 look to upgrade my $ 10 Salton no frill model I read every one of the review on this product on Amazon and I also research Zojirushi 's website . there I find video tour that cover how to use and clean the cooker and other good information . I be hesitant to pay so much for a rice cooker but base on the overall good review I purchase the 3 cup model . I do see the concern regard the bowl flaking , the rubber liner wear out and the cord not retract . I do not know of a coated cooking pan that do not wear off after time so that be not a issue for I . they do warn that flaking be natural in the video and that the coating be harmless which I hope be true . a replacement bowl be $ 30 should you go that route . the rubber lining be part of the removable inner lid . the replacement cost for the lid be $ 12 . the complaint mention not be able to keep the rice warm 12 hour without the seal but I serve the rice when it be do so it be not a issue for I . at least this part be less expensive than the bowl which be heavy and well make . lastly should the cord no longer retract that will not affect how well this rice cooker cook rice so again not a issue for I . I have find that pull it out the full length help with the rewind . so far I have cook brown rice and a wild rice mix , both turn out perfect and delicious . it be a sharp look appliance , easy to use , easy to clean and operate . I even like the goofy song it play at the beginning and end of the cook cycle . speak of end the timer come on during the last minute of cooking to let you know when the rice will be do . follow the instruction and you 'll have a perfect cooking experience and delicious rice every time . I love this cooker . +71 RiceCooker NEU 3 it work just fine but be the tiniest rice cooker I have ever see . for a single person like I , that be fine but family would be disappoint by its size . +805 RiceCooker POS 5 this little gem be amazing . it be easy to clean , use and the end product be perfect every time . be sure to read the instruction well before the first use for a great result . I love the timer feature . it be compact . the best purchase I have make for my kitchen this year . +857 RiceCooker NEG 1 I buy this rice cooker think it be stainless steel - it be not stainless steel . the cooking surface be a non stick coating -lrb- probably teflon -rrb- . I return the item . +39 RiceCooker POS 5 replace a aging rice cooker , I look at everything I could . this be the heavyweight champion . the heavy-gauge bowl - two of they - and the well design , secure detachable inner lid show the quality of this device . those be the feature that sell I , and I be not disappoint . -lrb- also have a neato self-swallowing cord ! -rrb- it make perfect rice of many type -lrb- yes I have already try many type in it -rrb- , keep it warm -lrb- or not , turn off -rrb- for a very long time with little if any loss of quality . I have not have a problem with the time it take as some report have ; the effortless perfect product more than compensate for any slight additional time . Easy to use , easy to clean , easy to store , work amazingly well , durable , not ugly . come with a double bowl . do it work better than a loose-lid cooker , or a cheaper fuzzy-logic cooker ? you bet . +808 RiceCooker NEG 1 `` this be the worst rice cooker I have ever use . the top be not heavy enough so it spit all around the edge . my counter top be cove in sticky rice paste . and I be only cooking half he amount of rice it say be the capacity . '' +77 RiceCooker POS 5 I have have my rice cooker for nearly a year now with absolutely stellar result . Rice make be so simple that I sometimes forget it be cooking until I smell the wonderful aroma waft from my kitchen . some reviewer mention that the cooker spew `` goo '' all over the countertop . the simple solution to this be to take the cover off after the rice come to a boil , stir well with a silicone or wooden spoon , leave the cover off until the water be nearly absorb , then put it back on . I discover this method when cooking brown rice -lrb- which do spew -rrb- and take about 20 minute longer than white rice . additionally , I weigh my rice , then fill to the appropriate marker on the side of the pan : 2 oz . rice + water to 1st marker ; 4 oz . rice + water to the 2nd marker ; 6 oz . rice + water to the 3rd marker . it be quite foolproof . I frequently add dehydrated veggy and beef or chicken bouillon for a more flavorful dish . no problem whatsoever and I use it at least three time a week . +5 RiceCooker POS 5 this product be the perfect size for two people or for a small family . it will cook up to three pound of rice with no fuss at all . great product . I like be able to steam the veggy too ! +475 RiceCooker POS 5 I love my Zojirushi ! my only regret be that I do not buy the bigger one . +45 RiceCooker POS 4 the rice cooker work fine . it be smaller than I think . the web say it could contain 8-cup . however , customer should know that 8 cup contain of 4-cup rice and 4-cup water . so it be fit for 1-4 people . +629 RiceCooker NEG 1 http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/review\/create-review\/ref=cm_cr_pr_wr_but_top?ie=utf8&nodeid;=&asin;=b002dml11k# i purchase this item to use for cooking long grain brown rice , because my sister have a smaller model that cook brown rice well . I have never use a rice cooker before . I keep change the ratio of brown rice to water after try it the way the instruction booklet say ; but the rice never get do enough . unfortunately , I miss the return window ; so must keep this item . I believe it probably work well for white rice , but white rice be not as nutritious as brown . I do not try to cook white rice with it ; because I do not eat white rice . it would help if the descripton specify that a 6-cup Rice Cooker mean it cook 6 cup of raw rice which be a lot of rice ! +128 RiceCooker NEG 2 the rice cooker be great for the first 6 month I have it . but then it stop work . I research the review here and find out that it have to do with the fuse . I buy one from Radioshack and replace it . and now it be work again . what suck be that return the item cost you $ 20 in shipping for a obvious defect in the product . if you do not mind the problem with the fuse , it be a great product . +134 RiceCooker NEG 2 I have be use this 2-3 time a week when it finally break . needless to say , I be not happy . I only pay $ 15 for this so I guess you get what you pay for . +538 RiceCooker POS 5 this thing be great . do everything it be suppose to . Perfect rice every time and when you be ready for it -lrb- timer and warmer work great ! -rrb- Wish I would buy the bigger one , tho . +821 RiceCooker POS 4 ok , it be only $ 16.99 , but the interior basket and the steam basket be flimsy aluminum . I make 1 cup of brown rice and I put in the 1 3\/4 recommend amount of water , and the rice be properly cook , but towards the last part of the cooking , not only do steam escape from the steam hole , but the remain water bubble up and some escape ... and I only make a single cup of rice ! this particular unit be obviously only make for 1 or 2 cup of rice ... I would not use this for the recommend 3 cup of rice . add comment ; it appear that you can make 3 cup of rice in this unit . apparently , the bubble up issue be more likely to happen when the water and rice level be lower . so , bottom line , a decent product for the money . -lrb- the glass lid and the steamer basket be easily dishwasher safe , but you really should hand wash the non-stick lift-off cooking insert . -rrb- +339 RiceCooker POS 4 good product , make just enough for one meal . but it make a mess on the counter if you fill it up to max capacity . +757 RiceCooker POS 5 this be a really good rice cooker and very simple to use , all you do be add rice , add water -lrb- accord to how much ever rice you put in -rrb- , and stir after 15 minute and it be do after about another 5-10 ... i use it about 2-3 time a week ... +364 RiceCooker POS 5 this be a really nice little rice cooker and steamer . there be two of we and it make perfect portion , and could make enough for some leftovers . it be really easy to clean and be so nice to set it and be able to do other thing as it cook . so far we have make rice , pasta and steamed veggy . Perfect on all account ! it be also compact so store it in my itsy bitsy kitchen be a cinch . we be get more for we sister and niece who be in college dorm , too . buy it ! +539 RiceCooker POS 4 this be a 6 cup rice cooker ... right ? on page five under the head `` cooking rice '' the manual read ... `` this cooker can cook up to 1 1\/2 measure of rice and yield a maximum of about 3 cup of cook rice '' . this little statement will leave you rack you brain when you compare it to page 7 which indicate that to yield 5 1\/2 cup of cook rice you should use 3 rice meaure -lrb- each measure be 3\/4 cup -rrb- and fill the water up to the 3 cup mark . I have to call customer service to find out which be correct . the answer be that the guide on page 7 of the manual be correct . the statement on page 5 -lrb- five -rrb- be simply incorrect accord to the customer service rep. I ignore page 5 and put in 3 full measure of rice and i can verify that it yield just over 5 cup of white rice . one other note ... the rice measure have to be fill to the brim to be a full `` measure '' of rice . ignore the very pronounced ring of plastic just below the rim . it be just another confusing issue with this product . Edit : so we have be use this product for quite some time now . I have move past the mistake in the instruction . if you consider the price , this thing be darn near amazing . I can not give it 5 star since the actual yield be less than advertise . I will say that we have use this to cook flawless Quinoa -lrb- try it with seafood stock to go with you salmon -rrb- , brown Rice and white rice . we use this silly little appliance a lot . I be add a star . +833 RiceCooker POS 5 I purchase this rice cooker because when I make rice in my 8 cup rice cooker I either do not eat all of it and throw much away , or I only make a little and the bottom end up burn my rice because it be too powerful for how little rice I have in there . this rice cooker be just right for the amount of rice I cook . it be compact and efficient . I will say that I be worry about break the lid as it be make of glass and be very precariously set upon the top . it almost feel like it do not fit the cooker . pro : Easy to use - simple press down to cook line inside pot for easy measurement of water small amount of rice at a time to reduce waste food cord be long enough inexpensive con : precarious glass lid -lrb- ... -rrb- +482 RiceCooker POS 5 so far so good , live at a high elevation i need to add more water make make 2 cup . I buy this rice maker specifically for brown rice . +935 RiceCooker NEU 3 this be smaller than be write in the product description . I could only cook 1 cup of brown rice ; if I put in more rice , it would overflow and mess up the table . otherwise , there be no problem with the cooker . +726 RiceCooker NEG 1 this be a japanese brand , but product be make in China . so , can not expect the high quality that make there ... not to mention safety for you health . the cooking pot be heavy , which be good . the teflon ? which be use , I can not say the same . I have the buy the Zojirushi ns-zcc18 model , which be make in Japan with the quality that come with the high price . +983 RiceCooker NEG 1 false advertisement , honestly . half the size describe , as it can not make 3 cup into 6 cook cup of rice . the maximum it can hold be 1 1\/2 cup raw to make 3 cup . send it back right after open it , and find a 16 cup cooker for five dollar more . +94 RiceCooker POS 4 I be satisfy with this rice cooker . the cook rice be always fluffy and tender . I do not suffer any more reflux at the oesophagus . thanks +170 RiceCooker POS 5 the black interior make wash very easy . cook and re-heat rice great . we have not try the steamer function . +232 RiceCooker POS 5 Works great for I . I steam vegetable and rice at time . also I have hard boil egg in it . I use it about 3 time a week . look like a million dollar also . Easy clean too . +234 RiceCooker NEG 2 read a lot of review about it die either after two week or six month . Mine last a year . in the middle of cooking grits , the switch pop from cook to warm , never to remain on cook again . so , as a eulogy , I would like to say we have good time . I would like to say I use it around 150 time . it do rice , oatmeal , grits , macaroni , spaghetti , shrimp , brussels sprout , broccoli , asparagus , textured vegetable protein , quinoa , all with pinache . with rice or oatmeal , it will shoot foamy water out the vent in the lid , but you can alleviate the problem by place the measure cup over the lid to catch the gunk . I cut the power cord and install a switch inline , pretty easy to do . leave it on low overnight will get you steel cut oats in the morning . can also plug it into a outlet timer for easy breakfast . I be really bum when it break and want to see if I could fix it , but it be hold together with some weird screw that be like a flathead but not . size be good for 2 , teflon stay intact , perfect for tight quarter . as cheap as it be , I would say I get good use out of it . I would have like to have pay more for a rice cooker that would not break . I would say this would be ideal for a dorm room , where there be no space , no money , and everything get throw out at the end of the year anyway . +520 RiceCooker POS 5 this little rice cooker\/stamer be great use it all the time . my husband love it very easy to use pefect rice all the time . +191 RiceCooker POS 5 affordable and I be very satisfied with this product . I can bring it easily everywhere I go . do not know how long will it last work . +358 RiceCooker NEU 3 this be first time I have have problem with Amazon from the time I start shop . I have order a 3-cup rice cooker and what be deliver be 1 and a half cup rice cooker . I be move out of my apartment the time this come so I never check for it properly nor do I happen to retain my bill . so there be no question of return it also . I know black and Decker be a good company but I think I have be dupe by the seller . +26 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker be the best appliance I have I have have many rice cooker and this 1 do the job perfectly you can not go wrong with this 1 buy it now ! +85 RiceCooker NEG 2 I have this unit as well as a older version of the Black & Decker HS1000 Handy Steamer with Flavor Scenter Screen I get the 3 cup rice cooker because the steamer have a lot of piece and be a pain to clean . while the rice cooker be a breeze to clean , it be main downfall be the burning on the bottom . I hear other reviewer say that be not a big deal , but it be to I . I do not like it and the purpose of have a cooker be to make good rice without have to watch it while it cook . if I want to watch it and stir , unplug etc. as other suggest , I would just cook the rice in a pot . also , as other say , this spurt juice everywhere while it be cooking , also annoy . the handy steamer be much better but from what I hear , the newest version be not as good unfortunately . besides make better rice , it have a timer on it so you can adjust to you liking . the 3 cup cooker be all or nothing - can not adjust . I be try to find a cross between these two - hopefully there be one out there . +281 RiceCooker POS 5 my wife be from China and be not happy with the way we cook rice in the microwave or stove top . after get the Zojirushi rice cooker , she say the rice be excellent . it also look very good sit on we counter top . +23 RiceCooker NEG 1 I buy a new one at target and after use it for 3 time , the button can not be push down . and sometimes it can be push down , but it will automaticlly jump up but the rice still not well cook . probably other be good , but mine be definitely can not work now , only 5 month . +932 RiceCooker POS 5 I love this rice cooker . it be easy to use , and rice stay fresh and warm for hour . now , I can eat freshly cook rice any time I want to . since I purchase it a month ago , I have be practically eat rice 3 time a day -lrb- I be a aisan -rrb- without gain weight -lrb- like I would do with american food -rrb- . yes , I be very happy with this rice cooker . +214 RiceCooker POS 4 I be expect a 16 cup cooker . I cook rice for my four big dog almost every day . the most i can cook in this cooker be 5 - and they be the smaller cup that i measure with the `` cup '' that come with the cooker . it do cook the rice well and my dog truly appreciate that o no longer burn the rice and my husband appreciate that i be no longer walk away from the pot i be try to get to a boil and than forget about it while it spill boil rice water all over the stove . he also appreciate the fact that he be not buy I a new pot to cook rice in every other week . the cooker have make my life easier . I put the rice and water in - turn it on and walk away . what a convenience ! it look good . it function well . my only objection be that it do not make 16 cup of rice . +318 RiceCooker POS 5 my wife and I want to cook brown rice for we kid but never have the time . we buy it as a Christmas present to ourselves and we could not be happier . we be in love with the ease of the programing mode , we get perfect rice right on time all we have to do be remember to set it up in the morning before we go to work . we kid love the brown rice and the song that the cooker play when it be finish ! clean up be really easy can not say enough about how great this rice cooker be . +92 RiceCooker POS 5 I have a aroma rice maker , and it be ok , but this zojirushus be far , far better . no crust bottom , and the rice be truly perfect . very easy to use , very easy to clean and a perfect amount of rice for a two people household . Worth the money definitely . I have a zojirushus Breadmaker also and I be sell on this brand . Superior quality and performance in both appliance . +497 RiceCooker POS 5 this be a surprise gift to my wife , for no particular occasion . just a sign of appreciation because she really , really like rice but it be much more than a rice cooker . of course , - it cook porridge - it cook sushi rice - it cook rinse-free rice - it cook haiga rice - it cook mixed\/sweet rice - it cook brown rice - it cook sprout brown rice - it cook -lrb- if you be in a hurry -rrb- you rice quickly in addition , - it slow cook -lrb- 2 setting -rrb- - it make tofu - it steam - it boil egg accessory include : a spatula , a measure cup , a tofu container , inner lid for rice and slow cooking , titanium-coated and well marked inner pot for rice and slow cooking and recipe include in the manual and in a separate , full-color book by famous chef Martin Yan with 16 additional recipe . we have have this cooker for several month now and my wife be very happy with it . she often use it to make soup and , of course , for rice . we have not try the tofu maker yet but she be use it , occasionally to steam vegetable or boil egg . we be impress by the easy to use control - it take about 10 minute to learn how to operate it . some of the more useful feature include the ` keep warm ' capability that actually come with a time indicator tell you for how many hour the contents have be keep warm and a timer that allow you to easily program the cooker to start at a specific time . to my surprise , the multilingual manual -lrb- english\/japanese\/chinese -lrb- ? -rrb- \/ korean -lrb- ? -rrb- be complete and write well enough to be easily understand -lrb- the English section -rrb- . we be very happy with this appliance . it fully deserve a 5-star rating . +377 RiceCooker POS 4 pro : \* Perfect size for one or two people . \* extremely easy clean up . \* Easy to store due to small size . \* Cooks perfectly every time . \* keep the rice warm while you prepare the rest of you food or if you have mistime cooking other meal element . \* can throw the lid back on and put the leftovers directly into fridge . \* have never once boil over even with faulty ingredient measuring . \* Great spoon be include that make it easy to serve and also do not damage non-stick coating . \* I have have this machine for over nine month and its worn well ... still work great though I have use it often . \* you do not have to ever check on the rice . it automatically turn off when it be do . \* because of the clear lid you can easily check to cooking progress . con : \* this be really not fair but I love Middle Eastern cooking especially the crunchy rice from the bottom of the rice pan that be call tadig . if I leave it stand long enough the crispiness almost form but not with a thorough crunch . -lrb- this machine be in no way bill as one that be capable of make tadig . -rrb- \* somewhat related to the above comment , the machine do not keep the rice hot , hot though it be thoroughly warm no matter how long I have let it sit . +221 RiceCooker NEU 3 we purchase this item but then find it to be not what we expect . this rice cooker make up to 16 cup . in other word you put in 7 cup of dry rice which end up make 16 cup . it say this in the description but title be just a little misleading . other than that , it be a rice cooker and work as such . I know I probably should not rate it on my human error of not read the full description but the title be a little misleading . +337 RiceCooker NEG 1 I get this for my birthday and I use it 3 time . first two time the rice be not cook all the way , and now the `` cook '' light wont come on . I would not recommend this product to anyone . +733 RiceCooker POS 5 I read the other review before purchase and I have get perfect rice everytime . I use this about twice per week , and we have a big family , so it be a important tool in my kitchen .

I follow he and get this 3 cup uncooked yield 6 cup cook rice cooker . at first I think it be a little bit small , however , it be totally enough for one person or two . I cook every dinner with 2\/3 cup of uncooked rice , and still have left-over the next day for my lunch , so it be approximately 1\/3 cup of uncooked rice for one meal for a girl . just do not follow the rice to water ratio in the instruction , u should always get a little less water than it require , otherwise the rice will be a little bit too mushy . Trust I , I be asian so I be really good at cooking rice : p and I also use it to cook quinoa which be even healthier than rice , just use the same solid to liquid ratio for cooking rice and it go well with cook black bean and cilantro . I even try to use it for hotpot , it work not perfect but still do the work . +353 RiceCooker NEU 3 it be a small rice cooker but it can feed four people for one meal . I give this to mom and Dad when they move to they new apartment and they find all kind of way to use this product . one thing be that you can use it to cook oatmeal ! the reason I give 3 start be because when the shipment arrive , I notice a big dent on the cooker , I do not return it because it do not impact its cooking ability , but would prefer the shipping department of this product to put more protection around . +62 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker work wonder !

I have try everything , and it always make mushy bleh rice unless I amazingly get the magical ratio correct and sacrifice a animal to the god . on a Thursday . under a full moon . that be not in the instruction . +393 RiceCooker POS 4 even though the rice cooker stop work , I be still give it 4 star because it be good when it be work . after I have wash the pot , I would consistently put it back onto the cooker , so maybe the cooker have water damage from my carelessness . only thing I do not like about it be that it be not able to keep rice warm for a long while , it end up burn the food at the bottom . +640 RiceCooker POS 5 Got this cooker 2 day ago , so far it work pretty well . hopefully it can last as long as possible . +709 RiceCooker POS 5 I have have this product for a few month now and love it . we use it EVERY MORNING to make steel cut oatmeal-chewy hot and just the right texture . it be a cinch to clean with the non-stick coating . I have cook bean , rice , and use it to steam veggy often . I use a cheap rice cooker for year . this machine be great for all it do beyond wonderful rice . Worth every penny . +428 RiceCooker NEG 1 I ask for a rice cooker over the holiday . receive this oster and be happy to have one : D every time I cook rice in it , even when stir it after the fifteen minute rice be browned and stick to the bottom . Rice about it be slightly edible ; definitely more `` al dente '' than I would prefer . right now I be use it for the fourth time and smell a heavy burning electrical odor . I will go back to use a small covered 1 1\/2 quart nonstick sauce pan ! +27 RiceCooker NEG 1 it work for I for 4 month and it be great . for 13.00 , I do not expect a whole lot . but I do expect it to work and last at least a year . nope . it die on I today . it will not light up or heat up . not impressed . +125 RiceCooker POS 4 the 3-cup make perfect rice for all week . I like the compact & sleekness of the cooker & thanks for the scoop & measure cup . I keep they in the cooker when not in use . clean up be quick & easy and love the way the cord re-track . I wish the digital readout be a little easier to read you really have to watch for the little arrow when you change setting . +865 RiceCooker NEG 2 this be my first rice steamer , so I read review on dozen of rice cooker and the common problem I read about be the steamer spit starchy liquid out the top and onto the counter . the review on this particular steamer , none of they complain about it spit during cooking , so I know this be the one I want . I just get it today and use it . the rice come out light and fluffy , much better than I could have ever make it in a pan on the stove . one drawback , and it be a problem I have read in alot of review on numerous other steamer ... it do leave a thin layer of rice browned and sort of stick to the bottom of the pan . I even spray the pan with pam spray first like the book suggest but it still brown the bottom of the rice . it be still not that big of a deal . I scoop out all the rice and leave the thin layer of browned rice in the pan until it cool then just scrape it out into the trash & wash the inner cooking bowl . my biggest complaint be I pay -lrb- ... -rrb- for this steamer 4 day ago and today on Amazon it be -lrb- ... -rrb- cheapr . it be only -lrb- ... -rrb- now . I get this one off Amazon . it make I mad . why could not they have drop the price before I buy mine ? I be not a pro at steamer but I would recommend this one base on the great rice it make and it only take about 16 minute to cook it . \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* UPDATE \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* I be update this REVIEW \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* my good review come from only use the steamer to make 2 cup of rice at a time . today i try to make 4 cup at a time and have a huge disaster & mess . not only do it spit starchy liquid from the top , it pour starchy rice water from the top all over the counter and all over the machine . it take I 15 minute just to clean up the mess . if all you be ever go to cook be 2 cup at a time , then this machine will be fine . any more than that and this machine be useless . +127 RiceCooker POS 4 great machine but wish I would have get the 5.5 cup unit . the owner manual be useless . have to buy another book to learn how to operate it . this be high quality and the flavor be outstanding . Rice be much better than top the stove rice . we rv a lot so the 3 cup unit will work fine for 2 people but the 5.5 would have be more adaptable . +633 RiceCooker NEU 3 tho it say it can hold up to 3 cup of cook rice , this actually mean it can hold a little less than 3\/4 cup of uncooked . otherwise you risk have the water over boil thru the hole in the lid and you 'll have to stand there for about 20 min towel it . for 2 buck more go with the 6 cup cooker . +427 RiceCooker POS 5 this be a gift for my grand-daughter who be vegetarian and cook lot of stovetop rice , sometimes forget it be cooking ! she love this ... and she mother love it too !!! they cook a lot of rice now ... I have one too because I be burn lot of it on the stove . now I can forget it , and it be perfect ! +788 RiceCooker POS 5 this be purchase as a gift for a friend . they could not have be more pleased with the sharp appearance and versatile function . we review a lot of rice cooker and this one really stand out ! I think I be go to have to get one for myself now ! -lrb- note : two year later - have be use a lot - and still work great ! -rrb- +708 RiceCooker POS 5 this be a excellent rice cooker . we have have perfect rice with every batch . well worth the money if you like perfect rice without any hastle . +775 RiceCooker NEG 2 Works very well ... but it do not have the Non-Stick Teflon coating . so , though the rice on top cook well , the rice below be sticky to the interior surface of the vessel , thanks to no teflon coating . even clean become cumbersome . where in we have to leave the vessel -lrb- not the electrical unit -rrb- submerge under water for 1 hour or so , before cleaning . check for non-stick cookware before buy . really cumbersome to clean !! +655 RiceCooker POS 5 if you need a rice cooker and be a one or two person family , look no further . you can not beat this rice cooker for ease of use , look and most importantly , perfect , fail-free rice . it be well worth the money . +559 RiceCooker POS 5 I be not joke . I love this rice cooker . this be the third rice cooker I have purchase , first one from aroma and I gotta tell ya , they have a customer for life . right out of the box it work like it be suppose to and have not stop ! this cooker get use at least twice a week and every batch be do to perfection . I go through Royal Basmati like a wash machine go through water and this cooker be just right for a family of four 's everyday use and can also handel large family function without break a sweat ! do not pass this model up , wallet friendly price and it do what it be suppose to do all the time ! +129 RiceCooker POS 5 I purchase this rice cooker as a gift for my son . make perfect rice every time with absolutely no boil over . clean up be quick and easy . when my son move out I will need to get one for myself . +209 RiceCooker POS 5 this be a great rice cooker ? i have no messy spill like so many people be claim to have ? it look very well construct ? i recoment it if you live in a small house hold . i just cook for my self but its large enough to cook rice for I and my guest without have to make a second batch ? look sylish , perform as advertise , good price . . what else be important ? I read someone complaint that steam come out of the top of this cooker and they demand that no one else buy it ?? that seem so odd to I -lrb- for lack of a better term -rrb- this be a rice cooker not a crock pot ? if the steam do NOT escape then the excess water would never leave the pot after you rice be cook then you would have rice flavored goop ? so if you never have a rice cooker before and this be you first one then know this , during the last few minute of cook the very tiny hole in the top of the glass will vent the steam from excess water after you rice be full cook . +18 RiceCooker POS 5 I have be use the same simple on\/off rice cooker -lrb- purchase for about $ 25.00 -rrb- for year . it make cooking rice easy but it be time to replace it . I debate quite a bit on spending over $ 100 for this particular rice cooker ... could it really be that much better ? I think I would give it a try ... I have to say , I be so glad I do . this little gem cook rice perfectly . I always though my old rice cooker do a good job -lrb- despite the bit of burnt rice on the bottom of the pot -rrb- , but i really have no idea that rice could come out like this ! this cooker have make I a rice fanatic . brown rice be amazingly soft and tasty , and I have be try different type of white rice as well . the best part be that you can use this like a crockpot . you can really cook some great dish right in the cooker . put the ingredient hour before dinner , set the timer and come home to a perfectly cook rice meal . my kid have become huge fan of the porridge . a mix of oatmeal and cook rice with a hint of cinnamon and sugar make for a healthy , hearty breakfast that my family can not get enough of . I debate between the 3 cup and the 5 1\/2 cup , but since the 5 1\/2 cup be only a few dollar more I go with that and I be glad I do . I do not think the 3 cup would have be enough - especially since I be use it to cook meal . if you be in the market for a rice cooker , take a serious look at this . it be not just a rice cooker - be sure to get a rice cooker cookbook to compliment it though - the recipe that come with the machine be not that exciting . +639 RiceCooker POS 4 I be not expect much for $ 15 but it do exactly what its suppose to do . I cook whole grain brown rice in it almost everyday . it only take a day or two to figure out my rice to water ratio to get it exactly the way I want it . one scoop be perfect for one medium size serve of brown rice . the thing just work and do exactly what it be suppose to do . I give it only 4 star because it do feel a bit cheap but since it just sit on my counter no worry . everything clean up easy . Great for a single person who do not like to cook . this be much easier than have to watch a pot boil rice . it will crisp on the bottom a little bit if you leave it on keep warm for 15 minute like they say . but that bother I not at all . like another poster say you can stir after it finish cooking , which be what I use to do with pot cook brown rice but I like the set it and forget aspect of this so I do not bother . could not be any more satisfied with a $ 15 rice cooker . +486 RiceCooker POS 5 I never really think of myself as someone who make rice a lot , but I always hate make it on the stove . I look into a few rice cooker on amazon and see they be all pretty poorly review , except this one . this be the best appliance I have ever purchase , bar none . it make it so easy to get restaurant-quality rice in about 30-45 minute -lrb- depend on if you use the `` quick '' setting or not -rrb- , and rice become a variable that you do not need to worry about while prepare you dinner . it be just there and ready for you when you need it . I be not a great cook , but this thing be idiot proof . it be worth spend the money on it , I use it all the time and do not regret the purchase price one bit . buy one if you even remotely love have rice with meal , you will not regret it . +774 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker be amazing . it have fuzzy logic control , allow you to put rice and water in before bed at night , set a timer , and have the rice cook perfectly when you wake up in the morning . we have use it to cook brown , white , jasmine , basmatus , long grain & wild , mixed , haiga , and rice pudding . it also come with a steamer basket and steamer pot , and egg cooker , and a tofu tray -lrb- which we have yet to use -rrb- . the measurement be really easy to figure out . put in as many scoop -lrb- use the include scoop -rrb- of rice and then fill to the designate line . the bowl be mark with line vary depend on the number of scoop of rice , and the type of rice -lrb- so brown rice use a different water measurement than regular white rice -rrb- . the control be very simple to figure out . it slow cook on low and high . it even keep you rice warm for you if you be not ready to use it when the timer go off . we have own rice cooker in the past but this be by far the best one . it be easy to clean and have a retractable cord so you be not constantly battle it . +366 RiceCooker POS 4 I be really satisfy with this and its price its really cheap n better than in any other store . +648 RiceCooker POS 5 after see my chinese and korean friend use rice cooker throughout the year in the dorm , I think I would spring for one . this little thing make a lot of rice . a 1lb rice bag be the perfect amount to fill it up . I have only get the chance to use it once , but the rice come out great - not burn or over cook . there be a spot or two that be slightly brown - barely noticeable . the taste be not affect at all . I also clean my rice and let it sit for a hour and a half before put it in and I have no problem with it spilling over . I hope I get the chance to use the steamer top soon because it seem really nifty . I highly recommend this rice cooker if you need something that be good for about 5 -lrb- or so -rrb- people as a side dish when it be at full capacity . also , the nonstick inside make for easy clean-up . I have a feeling I will use this a lot next school year when I be back in the dorm . +883 RiceCooker POS 4 after read several review , I purchase one so that I would not have to watch over rice cooking . my mom come to visit , taste the brown rice & love it . I buy a second one as a gift for she . +345 RiceCooker POS 5 if you have four this be the one . it be a great one for just cook when you be busy . it do rice , of course but also really great oatmeal , irish cut . do not hesitate for a small group this be the one ! +439 RiceCooker POS 5 before buy this , I be use a american brand rice cooker -lrb- the most terrible experience ever -rrb- . this one be great ! cooking rice in the way I want ! the only thing be that there be too much steam leave on the lid once the rice be do . +16 RiceCooker NEG 2 this have be a huge disappointment . Food stick to the pot ; it be a waste and more work to clean up . it ask you to stir after 15 minute , but I be resist because not require any interference be what I love about rice maker , and I think my other rice maker explicitly forbid any stir . also , the rice be not come out the consistency I like , too wet on top and too stuck-to-the-pan on the bottom . my last rice maker be the same brand , inexpensive , and look just like this but larger and it have a great nonstick pot , make great rice and other steamed food from day one , even when cooking small amount . I love the crunchy rice at the bottom and aim for it , and it always slide right out . with this pot , there be scrape , and even though the pot be smaller , when I be make a small portion it feel like a lot be waste stick to ... go for a non-stick , no-stirring-required rice maker . non-nonstick one be a bear to clean up and hardly any cheaper . do not buy too small a capacity if you have the counterspace ; I think 5 cup be too small for I , give my bigger one could make very small portion , and steam larger thing like tamale , bao , broccoli , while this there be the waste food stickage . +917 RiceCooker NEG 1 this be just what you pay for . it be just a ten-buck cooker . do not expect more than that . the steamer be so poorly design . steam air leak out from the edge between the rice tank and steamer . it be not a 6-cup cooker , it be a 3-cup one . so , please be cautious when you go through it . it be cheap , so , do not bother . I be just tough . +408 RiceCooker POS 5 great rice cooker . Works great for brown rice , white rice , and yes , even wild rice -lrb- actually , not a rice , but a grain -rrb- . however , my favorite dish be Steel Cut -lrb- pinhead -rrb- oatmeal . setup the ns-lac05 at night before bedtime . set the cooker to `` Porridge '' and set the timer for the desire completion time . use one zojus cup of pinhead oats -lrb- I like Bob 's Red Mill -rrb- , 3 zojus cup of water , brown sugar to taste , some raisin , cinnamon , and optional vanilla extract . wake in the morning to delicious steel cut oats . use the keep warm mode to keep the oatmeal warm for the late riser in the family . Zojirushi NS-LAC05 Micom 3-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer , Stainless Steel +75 RiceCooker NEG 2 I use this rice cooker a few time a week for about 5 month to warm soup , cook rice , and to cook pasta . well , it be great while it last because after about 5 month the non-stick interior start to crack\/peel and that be a no no unless you enjoy chemical tasting rice and pasta . for the price it be not bad , but i will have to invest in a rice cooker with a stainless steel pot to avoid this problem . +25 RiceCooker POS 5 this product be great !! we use it at least twice every day and it make perfect rice every single time . whole family love it ! +192 RiceCooker POS 4 I give this nifty rice cooker 4 star because its expensive . I eat mostly a asian diet where most dish be serve with rice . after lose the battle to eat or not eat lower nutritional value white rice , I have to buy a brown rice cooker . do you know another benefit of eat brown rice be the extra fiber slow down the absorption of carbohydrate mean you will not experience the blood-sugar drop that send you mind into eat like a pig tomorrow with never come . with that say the Zojirushi 3 cup do a fine job with cooking short grain brown rice . my cheap rice cooker do not have a longer cooking-time setting require to cook brown rice most cheap one do not . I live a speedy lifestyle . if this rice cooker could cook short grain brown rice in 30 minute instead of 1 hour 20 minute , I would of pay twice as much . otherwise , this handy appliance be cute and functional . as long as it do not break . I be sure I 'll get my money worth . I 'll definitely get my money 's worth if I drop ten pound because I switch to brown rice : - p +725 RiceCooker POS 5 I be the mother of 4 and always look for way to trim the budget and still eat well . we be a `` from scratch '' family and rarely , if ever , buy convenience food . Rice be a natural go to food item when you be try to eat well and save money at the same time . I never seem to be able to get it right , however ! we never have rice just because I could never cook it right . it would either be too hard still or too mushy or I would burn it on the bottom of the pan . really , it be rice , it should not be that hard ! fast forward to a week ago when the aroma rice cooker enter we life . we now have a new love affair with this frugal grain ! rinse the rice , toss it in and forget about it ! it be perfect every time ! this be a busy mom 's dream . we love we rice cooker and I can not imagine a more expensive brand do a better job at all . should something horrible happen and we rice cooker fail in the future , we will most definitely be try to replace it with this exact model again , very quickly ! edit to add : use this rice cooker to boil potato for mashed potato tonight . do a fantastic job . just put in the diced potato , water to cover and hit the white rice setting . once I hear the water start boil , I let it go for 10 minute and then drain . just be careful get the pot out due to steam . this be great and we be excite about be able to do this in the hot summer month when we need to boil something without heat up the entire house ! +969 RiceCooker POS 4 honestly , this rice cooker be smaller then I have imagine . but it be perfect for what I need . at this price , it make yummy rice , and look somewhat cute . it do overcook the rice near the bottom corner a little . to be honest , I actually enjoy it that way . +293 RiceCooker POS 5 this cooker replace the National fuzzy logic that I have use at least 3-4 time a week for 5 year . with all the new rice cooker on the market it be hard to find one that have the feature that I want , without a bunch that I do not need . I really do not need to bake a cake in my rice cooker !! what I use the most be the slow cooker option and the rice option . I mostly make short grain brown rice and this model cook it much faster than my old National . I also love that this cooker come with a extra pan and lid for the slow cooker ... which make it a great value . if it be important for you to know the length of the cook cycle , I suggest that you time they the first time you use they because the instruction booklet do not give the time for the cycle . my old National would show the length of the cycle when you start each cycle , i.e. when use the regular cycle it would show 43 minute on the clock . this cooker only show the time leave when it get down around 15 minute . the brown rice cycle cook in 75 minute . I cook quinoa on the quick cycle the other day and it be do in approximately 30 minute . another option I like on this model compare to the National be that , so far , the lid be easier to clean . the national use to bubble up through the steam vent and make a mess that be not easy to clean from the rubber gasket , but the Sanyo do not do that and the lid barely need to be wash after cook a batch of rice . I wish these type of cooker would make removable upper lid so that they could be keep cleaner . I also love that this model have the slow cooker and that there be both high and low slow cook cycle . this cooker be just right for a small family or couple , but if you generally cook for more than 3 people , I would recommend the larger model . I can make enough soup for 4 people if bread and salad be serve , but it may only serve several people if they have large appetite . it definitely do not have enough room in the slow cooker to do large roast . great value , great cooker , I highly recommend it . +222 RiceCooker NEG 1 this rice cooker arrive and nothing on it work ; no light , no menue , no clock ; nothing ! when plug in it seem that there be a master switch that be in the off position . we could not locate one and the manual make no mention of a switch . it be just dead . Amazon make it fairly easy to return and we appear to have receive a full refund . we do , however , decide to use another source to purchase a replacement . +407 RiceCooker POS 5 I cook for MYSELF and SOMETIMES MY BOYFRIEND , THIS work really great and wa brand new . it work great BUT ITS NOT 3 cup ... I love it . cook great rice +626 RiceCooker POS 5 I have use this rice cooker 3 time since I have have it . once only 2 cup , next time 3 and the last time 8 cup . I have cook rice for Sushi , medium grain . it come out perfect when i cook it . I have a little bit of harder rice at the bottom but I read a tip to stir the rice up when its halfway through cooking . that work great the last time I cook the rice . +484 RiceCooker POS 5 Great , it live up to all the excellent review . I have use a Zojirushi rice cooker in a rental condo in Hawaii . I be reluctant to buy one because it be expensive . my husband want it so I buy it for he birthday . it have be worth the investment . we have use it for rice , oatmeal -lrb- set it up to be ready in the morning when you wake-up -rrb- , and wheat berry . you have to adjust the water for other application but everything turn out delicious . wheat berry and steel cut oatmeal turn out almost like tapioca with a moist berry that pop in you mouth when you bite they . +521 RiceCooker NEG 1 if you like rice mush . THIS be for you . if you want cook FLUFFY RICE LOOK elsewhere . +686 RiceCooker POS 5 I be very happy with the Zo rice cooker . it make perfect brown , white and black rice and the timer function be very convenient . the only problem I have be make oatmeal with the porridge cycle , follow a recipe in the Beth Hensperger rice machine cookbook , which cause a boil over . the material that come with the machine suggest use the white rice cycle to make oatmeal so I 'll try that next time . the other thing I would suggest be to buy the larger , 5 1\/2 cup model instead of the 3 cup , because it make such great rice you 'll probably want a lot ! overall a excellent product , very easy to clean , attractive stainless steel finish and do not take up much counter space . would recommend to a friend . +233 RiceCooker POS 4 great compact unit which cook as little as 1\/2 cup of rice for congee -lrb- rice porridge -rrb- . non US resident should note that warranty do not extend beyond US or Canada . purchase of step down transformer for 240v country also essential . instruction be all in English so be easy to understand . timer capability be very easy to program and ensure freshly cook rice at a nominate time . +394 RiceCooker POS 5 I choose the ns-lac05 after a serious Google expedition . I choose Amazon for price , quick delivery and the consumer review . after another serious review of consumer comment , I determine the ideal recipe to be 1 Zoji cup McCann 's steel cut oats to 2 1\/2 Zoji cup of water . I set the ` menu ' to ` porridge . ' 61 minute later , I have a perfect bowl of thick oats -lcb- I prefer my oats thick -rcb- . my second attempt be a disaster ! I learn the cooker default to ` white rice ' when you turn it off . it promptly boil over spew oat milk all over . so , the machine make perfect thick creamy steel cut oats . just remember to always make sure the ` menu ' be set to ` porridge ' before press the ` cooking ' button . +638 RiceCooker NEG 1 I have own a few of these kind of cheap rice cooker over the year and they be usually pretty durable and get the job do for a great price . this one , however , be break after only a few month of use , light do not work and it will not heat up . total disappointment . I do not recommend this brand . +11 RiceCooker POS 5 I have not encounter any problem with this cooker , I have be use it for a few month now and it work great ! very durable , quick to cook and very thorough . +296 RiceCooker POS 4 after read other review before purchase I learn I should follow the cooking direction on the rice package , not the recipe book . I have success with white and brown rice . for fluffy rice be sure to stir with the provide paddle at end of cooking , before leave the rice to stay warm . Wash brown rice to avoid the boil over that can occur , which be messy to clean up ! I cook less rice than this cooker claim to be able to cook . I do not think you could successfully cook the capacity claim without boil over . I love that everything go in the dishwasher for easy clean up . +544 RiceCooker POS 5 nice cooker . even a dutchman can make perfect rice . do everything promise , but I woule expect nothing less from Zojirushi . my only issue be that it be a size bigger than I need when I do not have the kid . have I see it in person first I would have go for the smaller size . it do keep rice warm and ready to eat for day . if you look for a rice cooker , I recomend this one . +249 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker be my first and be stupendous ! I use it at least once a week and it wonderfully cook the rice quickly and effortlessly . if you be someone who get rice stick to the bottom of you pan do it stovetop , and you love rice , treat yourself to this little honey of a device ! it make enough rice to eat for a couple of day if you so choose or enough for one meal . Perfect size , easy to store , clean , operate . I choose this one after read the review , and I have not have to put butter or oil - perfection every time . +485 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy this rice cooker b\/c I break the glass top on 2 other rice cooker and decide this one look nice . I love the idea that it do not have a glass cover . so far , I be very happy with this rice cooker . it be super easy to use . +746 RiceCooker POS 5 we buy this rice cooker from a store whose name rhyme with `` Halmart '' . think that we know how to cook rice , we load it up and fire away , only to get a tremendous mess of starchy goop that flood the top of the unit and flow down the side , collect underneath . -lrb- it stink and the stink get worse if you forget that it be there ... -rrb- after read review for other aroma rice cooker here on Amazon , I discover that soak the rice fix everything . and very fortunately , this unit come with a delay timer . just load the cooker with rice and water -lrb- measure , of course -rrb- , press `` Delay Timer '' for the number of hour you would like to delay -lrb- the number be the number hour when the rice will be finish -rrb- , and choose `` white rice '' or `` brown rice '' -lrb- brown rice be give we the most mess -rrb- . I have set the timer as little as 2 hour , and the mess be eliminate even then . I believe that more delay be better . I have set it as long as 12 hour . I do not know the maximum number of hour you can delay . con for this rice cooker : there be a plastic valve inside the lid that need to be clean often , and the underside of the lid need to be clean as well . it do not detach , so you 'll have to scrub with a wet paper towel . I have not try to steam anything yet -lrb- fish , veggy -rrb- . bottom line : I recommend this product . +581 RiceCooker POS 4 after switch to brown rice and never quite get it to cook perfectly on stove top I decide to buy a rice cooker . I pick this one due to the good review , and I want something small enough for my limited counter top . I use 1 1\/2 of the provide measure cup for the rice -lrb- to make 3 cup -rrb- . the rice cook almost perfectly . the flaw be the rice be brown at the very bottom of the bowl , and some water splash out of the vent hole during cooking . but still it be the best brown rice batch I have ever cook , be not sticky or clumped . for the second batch I use less rice and water to make a little over 2.5 cup of cook rice , and I stir it twice off of the bottom during cooking -lrb- be careful lift the lid and use a hot pad -rrb- , and this time it come out perfectly . if it stop work in the next few month I will update my review , but for now it be nearly the perfect rice cooker for 1-2 people , and for limited counter space . +823 RiceCooker NEU 3 Works great , except that when I plug it in , the ` Cook ' light be already light even though I have not push the button down yet . after cooking , the button release as it be suppose to and the ` warm ' light come on . +910 RiceCooker POS 5 never think I would decide to get a rice cooker - why bother ?! a friend convinced I and now I be devoted ! +773 RiceCooker POS 5 I be very impressed with this rice cooker . many of the review for other brand be not very encouraging . I think that Black and Decker have never let I down , so I give it a shot . I measure exactly as direct on the instruction and the rice come out perfect . I even substitute broth for the water and add my own blend of spice base on my craving that particular evening . the cleanup be fantastic . I be go to buy one for my daughter and grandson this Christmas . we have use this cooker about 12 time now and the result be consistent . please note the smaller size of this unit if you cook very large amount of rice at one time . \*\* I have now own this cooker for 7 month and be still amaze at how well it work . it remain so easy to clean up even after use it about 2-3 time per week . it have always produce perfect rice . and , that be even when I add lot of different item for a variety of rice dish . +594 RiceCooker NEG 2 the cooker do a good job of rice . it steam artichoke nicely . unfortunately it only last about a week . I misplace the receipt so I be not able to return it . great idea . Poor quality , even for so inexpensive a item . +431 RiceCooker POS 5 after use the rice cooker for a couple of week , it have work perfectly for make enough rice for a meal for 1-2 people . I would definitely buy again , especially for the price . +108 RiceCooker POS 5 I like to look at review so I provide they . this rice cooker be amazing . when the rice cook you just walk away and do . you rice be ready . Pretty easy to clean . Make you you pay attention to the rice measurement and steam veggy , it do a great job as well . +239 RiceCooker POS 5 I be make rice as I type this review . I have be through several steamer and have not find one to make as perfect rice as this one do . it be easy to measure and every pot I have make seem to come out perfect . thanks Sanyo ! +120 RiceCooker NEG 2 overall this rice cooker be do the job . I just do not like clean up afterwards . the steam come out of the lid can make a mess . I have to clean it up everytime . I would recommend a different brand or model that can cook rice without additional work . +628 RiceCooker NEG 1 the cooker size be not 16 cup , it look like 5-6 cup uncooked rice cooker when you recieve . I dont understand why it be say 16cup . I give this for gift but dont know how good it be in run , I believe black and decker should work good . +95 RiceCooker POS 5 this be the easiest way to cook rice ! it be even easier than instant rice . put in the rice ; put in water ; and turn it on . Presto , perfectly make rice . great size for a single person -lrb- or maybe even a couple -rrb- . Easy to clean . I love it . Allan +656 RiceCooker NEU 3 so the positive about this cooker be that it make any steamed food very well . you can make rice , potato , throw in some veggy , and it all steam very well . very easy to make a one-pot meal . however , very few rice cooker will not do this . I like that there be not any fancy feature that make cooking difficult , the simplicity be good appeal . that say , if you do not wash you rice first you will wind up with starchy water spew all over you counter . I only fill this to the bare minimum to avoid this problem and I thoroughly wash my long-grained white rice -lrb- something you should do for better quality rice anyway -rrb- . I also have some serious problem with sticking after I finish cooking . I have try everything I can to get that crispy layer out and it ruin my sponge . I put in some oil , I spray the side , I have really try everything . it still stick ! I like the simplicity , hate the mess . +612 RiceCooker POS 4 I purchase this rice cooker as a gift for my 27 year old son . he really love rice and `` minute rice '' just be not real rice as far as I be concerned . I have a aroma rice cooker myself and think the ease of the one-touch button system would be perfect for my son -lrb- and he room-mate -rrb- . two week after he birthday he tell I the rice cooker be `` a hit '' in he house , and they use it constantly for all sort of rice , jasmine , brown , long grain , etc. . excellent value , very satisfied . +658 RiceCooker NEU 3 simple and plain design , the rice do get burn at the bottom and it do not come with the steamer tray or the measurement cup . it work but i think i can do better so decide to return this . +834 RiceCooker POS 5 the only complaint I have be that it take 45 minute to cook more than 3 cup of rice . the exterior clean up nice and the pan be so easy to clean . I love the spoon `` rest '' on the side of the rice cooker . it beep when you food be cook and ready to enjoy . +647 RiceCooker POS 4 what can I say , I put water and rice in it and a little bit later I have cook rice . do just the way I want . with any rice cooker you have to play with the exact amount of water -lrb- if you use the line measure on the side -rrb- and make sure you use the rice measurer that come with it , but after that - it be a no brainer . if it go `` ding '' when the rice be do , it would be perfect . I have no trouble with leakage , but i do not cook a full pot of rice , either . +176 RiceCooker NEG 1 somewhere in all the research I do I must have miss the part where they say this rice cooker be go to work well . we only cook whole grain rice and the brown rice I make be worse than wallpaper paste . never see such a gluey , nasty mess in my life . the direction for this be dodgy at best . somewhere I also get the impression that this be go to be a fabulous improvement on cooking rice the regular way . no one mention that it take twice as long . maybe this be a good product if you be cooking white rice , but if you plan to use it for whole grain and brown rice do not waste you time . I 'll be go back to my regular steamer with it be rice insert . that be not great either , but way better than this . on my way to return this now . +37 RiceCooker POS 5 I really can not believe how great he work or that I wait so long to purchase a rice cooker . I have have the pot for about two month now and use about 8 time . not one mishap . no boil out of unit or sputtering , no sticking or burn whatsoever ! I do always rinse the rice before cooking . if you be look for something that will also steam veggy this probably be not the cooker for you . but if you simply want great rice this be a beauty . the price be great too . do not take up much room on the counter and be attractive . as always , great shipping too . thanks Amazon . +796 RiceCooker POS 4 this be a replacement for my old rice cooker . that one last for 3 year , which I think be the standard . could not believe that I 'll get a new one with such low price . this be a decent size cooker and long lasting appliance . +478 RiceCooker NEU 3 this cooker make reliably great rice , and rather quickly . I have no complaint about its ability to cook rice . the problem be that it spew hot , starchy slime all over the place . it make a gigantic mess . it be not worth it . +414 RiceCooker POS 5 I love this rice cooker . it be faster than cooking on the stove and all you need to do be just add all you ingredient and that be it . you do not need to worry about the rice again . it really make life easier and cook a shorter process , especially when you have little time to prepare meal . it also let you steam vegetable . cleanup be easy , non stick pan . I love it ! +671 RiceCooker POS 5 I want a SMALL rice-cooker for my office , so I can eat lunch in a more healthy way and in a less expensive way . I like it a lot . I have make brown rice , white rice , and oatmeal in it . someday soon I 'll read the manual and figure out how to make the silly music go away . -lrb- I see that that be do-able ... -rrb- it play twinkle twinkle little star or something , at various time , for various reason , and I work in a library and this just will not do . it be sleek . it be gorgeous . I wish it do not cost so much , but I be sure it be better and longer-lasting than a $ 30 or $ 40 alternative . +766 RiceCooker POS 5 apart from be the smallest rice cooker I have ever see it be still good for 2 people ... +990 RiceCooker POS 4 the cooker work fine . I have some problem at first because when I read direction , I assume that rice be in the steamer and water be in the bottom . after I clean up the water I re-read the instruction and discover the water go in with the rice ! -lrb- aroma assume that user be not idiot . -rrb- aroma arc-743-1ngr 6-cup Rice Cooker and Food Steamer , Red +609 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy this rice cooker , and once I see it in person , I be surprise with the cute size . it be so adorable . it be good for 2-3 people and work very well , there be option for brown rice , white rice and sushi rice etc. . so it be easy to deal with cooking rice . I usually cook brown rice , usually 1 cup be enough for 2 people . sometimes I do 2 cup , but it be easy to cook so i do not care I cook rice often so we can have fresh rice . +635 RiceCooker NEG 2 I spend time select this product as I have another of great performance . I have have to clean up the counter after every use as it spew rice mist all over . the steam hole have be examine and appear ok but the problem continue . disappointing . +78 RiceCooker POS 4 I do not realize how small this be . if you be solo or use it in college , it should be fine . if you be cook for more than 2 people , you need something bigger . but I cook for 1 or 2 people usually so it work out ok for now . I be cooking rice on a stove previously and ti be fine but I get tire of watch the pot so it would not boil over . this cook the rice evenly and quickly . it even cook brown rice well . +783 RiceCooker POS 4 this rice cooker be just the very size that I want as I be cooking only for myself . it cook quite efficiently and the rice taste just good ! +404 RiceCooker POS 5 the `` cup '' be not really a cup - more like 3\/4 of a cup , so if you really need 4 cup , you may want a larger unit . nevertheless , this be a great rice cooker . it make flawless rice with almost no effort . it be perfect for two people - make enough for a meal with leftovers for a second meal . would probably be ok for 3-4 people if you want to make a fresh batch with every meal . extremely easy to clean , too . we be very happy with it and use it all the time . +42 RiceCooker NEG 2 this rice cooker do make rice but let I say that a device design to cook a specific item should not only make it better but make less of a mess when use the traditional preparation method . it would have be nice to have this item make rice for I but I abhor have to clean up large mess like I be clean behind little kid play house . this appliance remind I of clean after child learn to cook . I still want a rice cooker but I want mine to be less mess while perform its job . I be disappoint in black and Decker . would I try this product again ? it would not be my first choice but then I be adept at make rice on a stove use a boiler so I be not in a hurry to purchase another rice cooker . I think there be something manufacturer can improve and this be one of those product . write this have make I want thai food . Gotta go . happy travels to all those who be in search of the great rice cooker ! +953 RiceCooker NEU 3 be aware this product be mean for only 3-cup uncooked rice , which be pretty small and ideal for couple only . +673 RiceCooker POS 5 exactly what you want out of the rice cooker . I be a college student , and the thing be extremely easy to use . some different rice need different rice amount so be careful . have not use it to steam anything . depend on the day it can feed 3-4 of we . it be pretty simple , the keep warm work pretty well . when its do with the cycle and 15 min steam , mix it up a little bit the rice can get brown on the bottom . +976 RiceCooker POS 5 ever play with one of those Easy Bake oven when you be a kid ? well get ready for a similar experience because make rice have never be so easy or so fun . LOL , I know I sound like a television commercial but seriously , if you be obsess with rice like I then you absolutely must have one of these . so simple to use ; just pour the correct ratio of rice and water in the removable bowl , plug the steamer in and push down the little button -lrb- like a bread toaster -rrb- , wait a few minute and viola ... delicious rice . also the bowl that you actually cook the rice in be porous enough to resist clingy rice and therefore super easy-peasy to clean up . I receive mine as a Amazon gift from a friend after I mention to she that I usually make instant rice because ... well because I be really lousy at boil the regular variety . and so speak from that perspective , let I say that I think this would be a perfect gift for just about any occasion . it be relatively attractive and really small -lrb- consider you can make a ton of rice with it -rrb- and would probably look great just about anywhere . so if you love rice , then I highly recommend this wonderful rice cooker from Oster . : o -rrb- +644 RiceCooker POS 5 I purchase in 2009 and it be still go strong -lrb- 2012 -rrb- . still work perfectly and still look good . the size be perfect for a single person . it would also be fine for a couple and perhaps a small family . it do not take up too much room . while I do not use all of the feature of this great little machine , the feature I do use be very helpful . +101 RiceCooker NEG 2 this cooker be a bit slow but make rice fine . however , the nonstick coating on the bowl be clearly low quality because it begin to flake off . grant this be after several year -- but it be possible to make more durable non-stick coating -lrb- as I have pan that be fine with much more use -rrb- . cost at least $ 25 to replace look like . +872 RiceCooker POS 4 clean this thing really be not bad ... you just need to do it soon after you be do use it so the rice do not harden on . the first time I use it , I make brown rice and put it on the brown rice setting . after almost 2 hour , it still be not finish , so I be a bit suspicious and open it up . the rice be already overcooked ! it may have just be the brand I be use , but I be hope that the `` brown rice '' setting be all-inclusive . : -rrb- Minor detail , though . overall , I love it . +49 RiceCooker POS 4 overall I be really please with this rice cooker . I have not eat rice for age and it be wonderful to have this little pot to make it for I with no effort . it make enough for 1-2 or maybe even 3 people . this be my second of these cooker . the first one work ok at first , but it be hard to make it stay on cook , the button would switch back to warm before it be do cooking . if you have any problem like this when you get it send it back immediately , it will only get worse . Amazon and Black and Decker be both really good about send I a new one . the new pot 's lid do not fit as well as the old one , so I end up keep the pot and lid for the first one and the base from the second one . for the price this be not something I `` m too angry about , I have a nice rice cooker that make awesome rice . if the one you get be not absolutely perfect , send it back . I suspect a lot of the disparate review be the result in vary quality within the product . but hey , it be a $ 12 rice cooker . +227 RiceCooker POS 4 UPDATE : get a replacement unit after the first one fail after the 1st use . I be also glad that I could exchange it through Amazon . the replacement rice maker have be work fine and make great rice . I do want this rice maker and so far I be glad that the new one be work well . the 1st unit have this problem : make great rice the 1st time but after first use it break . the button pop up prematurely on second use and go into warm mode . light go out half way through cooking . this be the same reliability problem that other be report here on Amazon . +317 RiceCooker POS 5 this be seriously the best rice cooker I have ever see . it seal when you close it so it do not make a mess . I have use it on all kind of different rice and it make they perfectly every single time and do not burn even one grain of rice . I love the little attachment to hold the rice spoon thingie . buy this if you be look for a rice cooker , you will not regret it . +826 RiceCooker POS 5 I have a cheap rice maker and decide to upgrade when my daughter move out and want mine . this be one of the greatest addition to my kitchen . as well as make the greatest rice , expecially for sushi , it also make wonderful hot cereal that you can wake up to when you set the timer the night before . throw in some dry fruit and spice and it be a wonderful smell to wake up to as well as good for you . the old rice maker use to get crunchy stuff on the bottom and the brown rice be sometimes chewier than it should have be but never this one . it also steam stuff to perfection in a couple minute . I have not use it as a slow cooker yet but I have no doubt it will be great . I love it , it be worth every cent and Amazon be spectacular at get it to I . I order it right before Christmas not expect it till after the holiday and it get here in 2 day , just in time to make Christmas sushi . +52 RiceCooker POS 5 this product work very good . I have use it a couple time and the rice have always come out very tender . +646 RiceCooker POS 4 if you -lrb- really -rrb- like you rice , and you be patient , then this be the machine for you . if you be look to make quick meal , and do not really care what be on you plate , then stick with Uncle Ben . there be two turn off 's for the user that need to watch the clock , and who need something quick : the countdown timer do not kick in until the final 10 min -lrb- or so -rrb- ; white rice take about 45 min to cook . if there be time for preperation , the timer function be great . after the rice be rinse , per the instruction -lrb- which should actually be read before use -rrb- , you throw it in the bowl , add water to the proper level , and set it for the time it should be ready to use . of course , if the computer can figure out the exact `` end time '' , why can not it give a rough `` countdown time '' ? but , what be you go to do ? the rice will also last for 4 or 5 hour without get gross in `` warm mode '' . conclusion : be someone that use the machine about 4 time a week , it work great for I , and I would buy another one if the current unit fall off the counter , and break ! I have also find that the family will grab a bowl of warm rice , rather than head for the potato chip . if you plan on cooking rice once every few month , you might want to check out the $ 40 unit without all the computer control . +384 RiceCooker NEG 1 I order this from Amazon a few week ago . I have use it once . it not longer work . however , the website give for warranty information do not exist , and the consumer number claim the office be close . I would not recommend buy this . +613 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker really do make better rice ! lot of nice option , audible timer etc. . we be very happy with it . +719 RiceCooker POS 5 hus , be use a similar model for the past 3 year work fantastic . order this new one and be use it for a week and still same great cooker . it cook good even for 1 cup rice up to 6 cup rice . . thanks for good product ... Cheers Kiran +997 RiceCooker POS 5 awesome cook rice ! and so easy to use . why do I wait so long to purchase ? +661 RiceCooker NEG 1 this be not a 3 cup rice cooker as it be advertise . I buy this cooker think that its a 3 cup rice cooker . when i open the package i see the cooker be small , i mean its so tiny that the rice cook in it will be sufficient for a infant or a toddler ... i cant believe how mis-advertised this be . . the measure cup that they provide with the cooker be not a cup !!! its probably 1\/4 of a cup . . a cup be equal to 8 ounce . . well the cup with this cooker be probably about 2-3 ounce ... that how falsely they advertise this cooker . . i just hope when people be buy they realize that its for they kid and not for they tummy !!! +193 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker be wonderful . you throw in the rice some water and forget about it . then in about a hour you have great rice . also have a delay timer and will keep the rice warm for hour . it sing ` twinkle twinkle little star ' when its do . very convenient +190 RiceCooker POS 4 a great product for the price . it do the job smoothly . the reason I be not give 5 star be because it be not dishwasher save . +41 RiceCooker POS 5 my first rice cooker ! cute as a dang button . Plays I a song when cooking begin and end . small footprint , quality material , adorable logo ... and the rice be not bad either . it cheer I up immediately . Worth the price ! +155 RiceCooker POS 5 I purchase this rice cooker over a year ago and use it about two time a week . Wether I cook white rice or brown , long grain or short grain , the rice come out perfect every time . the rice be the perfect moisture and consistency . it be great too that it automatically change to the keep warm function upon finish . this be really nice , allow you to have one less item that you have to worry about timing for . clean the rice cooker be easy too . the bowl that the rice cook in be easily clean with a soft sponge and some dish soap . the rest of the cooker can be clean with just a rag or paper towel , there will be some moisture and excess water that need to be wipe up . I be so happy with my rice cooker I just buy a second to gift to the mom for mother day . +892 RiceCooker POS 5 this cooker work very well . the rice cook perfectly and do not stick to the container make it very easy to clean . the main cooker be design well . there be a small indention around the open to collect the steam . although it take 45 minute to cook the rice , it be well worth it . +98 RiceCooker POS 5 we try the cheaper model from the same brand and return it . this one work perfectly , especially for cooking very small quantity of rice . could not be happier , and yes , it do employ fuzzy logic when cook the rice . do not buy a cooker without that feature . and everything from this brand be usually very high quality . this one be no exception . if you be a serious cook , this be the entry level . do not go any cheaper . note that it only cook 3 cup . Perfect for those who like rice but may not want so much of it . for two people , we have find that 1 cup be enough to satisfy we craving for rice dish for two , without pump up we waistline . it be very easy to use . they give you a measure cup and you measure the rice with the line on the cup -lrb- we use 1\/4 cup per person , but most will probably want 1\/2 cup per person -rrb- , then dump it into the bowl that be include in the thing . next , add water -lrb- some people will stir the rice with they finger -rrb- and pour the water back out to rinse the rice . some of the hull from the rice will float off when you pour the water out . rinse twice , then fill the water back up to the mark correspond to the amount of rice you have in there . yes , you add water to the mark with the rice inside . put the bowl in the unit and close the lid . next you push menu to select the type of rice you have -lrb- white , brown , sushi , etc. , use porridge for steel cut oatmeal -rrb- and push start . if you want to use the timer , instead of push start , push timer , use the arrow to set the time -lrb- it start with the last time you use -rrb- and then push start . the only knock I have be that it take a \* long \* time to cook 1 cup of rice . 40 minute just seem like it be twice as long as it should take . however , because I do not know whether that be longer than other fuzzy logic rice cooker , I do not take a star away from the product . just be forewarn , it take a lot longer than cooking rice on a stove . be it underpowered ? I do not know . the flip side be that it only take 450 watt to run the thing , and so it be less likely to pop the circuit breaker if you have something else go . a little off topic , but if you be look at a rice cooker , you may want to learn about rice . here be what we have learn so far . there be three basic grain size of rice : long grain , medium grain and short grain , also know as sweet rice or sushi rice . each kind have its place . long grain rice be best for fried rice and pilaf - where the rice should not stick together because you want every grain to be coat with a flavoring . by itself , long grain rice be not that great tasting . we Americans be use to long grain rice , but wait until you branch out into other type . medium grain rice be for serve just plain rice , like as a side dish with chinese dish . it be easily the best tasting rice by itself . it clump together to a degree , make it easier to eat with chopstick . if you want the most delicious rice you can find , and you will not be flavor it , buy medium grain . it be so much better than that long grain minute rice we grow up with . finally , sushi rice be very short grain and clump like mad . it be generally limit to sushi , where you would be willing to sacrifice flavor to get better clumping , and sweet dish , because of its high starch content . this rice cooker have a special setting for short grain rice . but I find short grain rice to be too artificial tasting , and so even for sweet dish , I use medium grain rice . next , there be two basic type of rice : brown rice , which be how all rice start , or white rice , which be brown rice with essentially all of the nutrient remove . with no nutrient , white rice do not spoil like brown rice can . we have find very little difference in taste between brown rice and white rice . if you do not like brown rice , you be probably think of a exotic variety that have a deeper taste . regular brown rice you buy in the store be very nearly the same taste as white , so we have stop buy white . find Botan Calrose brown rice in a asian market , look at the health advantage of brown rice on the internet and you 'll never go back . note , there be a special setting on the cooker for brown rice , and different water mark for brown , and brown rice take about 80 -lrb- not a typo -rrb- minute to make one cup . I be sure you can find more detail on line , but that should give you the basics . Ditch you long grain rice : you 'll be amaze at how much better medium grain rice can be . and try brown rice : you 'll be shock at how close it be to the nutrient-less white rice . this cooker make all kind of rice really well . I have have it for about three year and we use it nearly every day . it be still work like the day we get it . the nonstick bowl look and act like new . the battery keep all of the setting and the current time , though my understanding be that the battery be not easily replaceable without send it back . +754 RiceCooker POS 5 I purchase the Sanyo basically because this model -lrb- which include the slow cook function -rrb- be $ 100 less than the comparable Zojirushi model . make excellent rice - no discernible difference from my neighbor Zojirushi - and the slow cook function be a great addition and perform well . +986 RiceCooker POS 5 the Zojirushi rice cooker be perfect ! it cook perfect rice every time , very easy to use , nice thick bowl that be easy to clean , and be small enough for we kitchen . we accidentally leave some rice on the keep warm setting over night and in the morning we still have perfect rice ! highly recommend it , well worth the price . +798 RiceCooker NEU 3 I do not like thing that require lot of clean up after . I buy this so I could have rice cooking and not have to pay much attention to it if I be interrupt by kid etc. . first time use , I do 1 cup measure of brown rice use the enclosed cup , and fill to the 1 mark line for water on the pot per the instruction . click cook and go about cook the rest of my meal . 10 minute later and there be splattering of starchy water out of the little vent hole in the lid . everywhere - for a 1 foot radius around the entire cooker . I unplug it , clean it up , start again with only a half cup measure of rice , and water to the appropriate line . same thing . Splatter everywhere . this time I have a towel underneath it and let the rice finish cooking . it be perfectly cook at least . I then attempt steel cut oatmeal overnight use the warm function . that do not splatter and make for creamy wonderful oatmeal first thing in the morning . right now I be do a 1\/4 cup measure of barley with water to the 1\/2 mark line -lrb- since barley require a little more water than rice -rrb- . it be splatter on Cook . I think this will be delegate to only oatmeal or other hot cereal on warm . the Cook function cause the boil-over or splattering and therefore clean up . not sure if I 'll be try another rice cooker . +524 RiceCooker NEG 1 it be work for a month and stop work . initally the light do not come up and we do not know whether the cooker be work or not . probably due to defective wiring or some thing . Black & Decker should make the quality process more stringent when they procure -lrb- part -rrb- it from outside . +895 RiceCooker NEG 1 Rice cooker be easy to use for travel and cook rice fairly quick too . however , I notice two flaw with this cooker that stand out to the point I would not recommend this product for home use . as other have mention splatter be a issue . even when cook a small amount of rice -lrb- less than one cup -rrb- you will have splatter around the cooker to the point you have to lay down a few paper towel unless you want a mess to clean up afterwards . the second and perhaps most glaring issue be the quality of the cooking pot the rice rest in . after only a few month of use the coating have start to come off , this occur mainly where the lid rest on the top of the pot and at the bottom of the pot too . I have also notice the coating have come off where the cup marking be located as well . the fact the coating be end up in my food after so little use and be the pot be only hand wash be a automatic one star . due to its size I would recommend this cooker for travel use and nothing else . for home use I suggest spend a little more money for a better cooker . +802 RiceCooker POS 4 all in all , I be happy with my purchase . it be a pretty well-made unit and it be compact enough to leave on my kitchen counter . the setting be too complicated -lrb- white rice , brown rice , etc -rrb- and the instruction manual be pretty clear . when I cook my first batch of white jasmine rice , it come out pretty good . the one thing I definitely notice over my old rice cooker be that this new one do not give I any `` hard rice '' at the bottom of the cooker . the non-stick material in the cooker pot seem to make the rice slide right off . I do not know how long the non-stick layer will last because although I wash my rice in a separate container -lrb- so not to scratch the cooker pot -rrb- , there be other people in the house that wash it directly in the pot . the only issue I have with this model be that it take a long time to cook a batch of rice . a 1-cup batch of white rice take almost 40 minute on the regular setting and 30 minute of the `` quick cook '' setting . my old Tiger rice cooker -lrb- 20 + year old and counting -rrb- only take about 20 minute give or take . I be a little disappointed with the long cook time -lrb- at least compare to my old cooker -rrb- . that be why I could not give it 5 star . everything else be good though . update -lrb- july 2 , 2012 -rrb- : the more I use this machine , the more I get puzzle by the extended length of time it take to cook . last night I have it on brown rice and it take 48 minute to complete it be cooking cycle ! my goodness ... I think my entree be cold by the time the rice be ready . another thing that puzzle I be that other than a short song a few minute before the rice be ready , the machine give no count-down or any indication of how much longer the cycle will take to process . although it do a solid job of cook the rice -lrb- and keep it hot after the fact -rrb- , the cooking process be entirely too long for my preference . I think I might have to bring out my 20-year old Tiger rice cooker to replace this new guy . go figure ! +724 RiceCooker POS 4 simple to operate and it work great . we have prepare 1 1\/2 cup of uncooked Nishiki rice + 3 cup of water and have more than enough for 2 people . the pot be half full at this quantity and will , therefore , accommodate double -lrb- 6 cup of cook rice -rrb- as state on the box . my measurement be in 8 ounce cup . take other reviewer ' advice , we first spray the bottom with oil , add we rinsed rice and water , and then add about 1\/2 tea . salt before turn the cooker on . I set the kitchen timer for 15 minute as a reminder to stir . at about 10 minute after stir , the unit switch automatically to warm and continue to cook off moisture for another 5 minute . we could find no evidence of spray or spatter inside or outside . the sticky rice taste great and be keep warm throughout the meal with no sticking or burning . we will try a entire meal next . the steamer basket be large enough for a thick piece of fish surround by vegetable . the steamer insert do not encroach upon the area use for rice . it be great size for a meal for two or , if only rice be need , for a family of 3 to 4 . longevity be a unknown . beyond that , I think that if the otherwise clear instruction booklet include the oil and salt tip we be lucky enough to have read about online , there would be few negative review . +361 RiceCooker POS 5 look fancy and beautiful . many friend aksk I how much do I pay for that . they say look great seem expensive . timer be awesome . very exact . if you want rice 1:00 pm just insert time 13:00 push cooking button . YOu will get good rice 12:59 - 13:01 in my case , timer be very important . because I would love soak rice in the water in a hour before I cook . if I do that taste be much better . but if timer do not exist and I should wait a hour after wash rice and put rice in water . but if I have timer I do not need to do that . I only cook white rice . and it take 50 minite to complete cook . it take longer than the other rice cooker . and as I write before I need soak time a hour . but it dose ' t matter for I . I eat rice every day . good rice cooker be like a bass of rock music . it be taste really good . Zojirushi be japanese company it be famous as cooker company . . I be from korean and we have many rice cooker company . many korean use korean company rice cooker , but some people use Zojirushi product . even it be little more expensive . but I do not know anyone who use the other japanese company rice cooker . I eat rice almost every day in my life -lrb- I be 25 year old -rrb- but it be the best non pressure rice cooker . -lrb- pressure cooker be best . my mother have it but I do not -rrb- I have be use this cooker around 1 year it be work fine so far . +178 RiceCooker POS 5 I first buy a cheap-o cooker from target and it be junk . burn the first batch of rice . drop it in the recycle bin and start my research and even think the price be far more than what I have pay for the cheap-o from target , I absolutely do not regret it . Perfect brown rice ever time ... well worth the price . +617 RiceCooker POS 5 the Zojirushi ns-lac05 3-cup be the best rice cooker I have ever use . it be not the `` first '' , but definitely the `` best . '' I recommend it to everyone I can . we have rice now at least 3 time per week . +705 RiceCooker POS 5 this be my first rice cooker , so I can only compare it to cooking rice on a stove . this make perfect sticky rice . Use 1:1 japanese short grain rice\/water plus 2 tbsp of water , and 15-20 minute later you have rice you can roll into a sticky ball . I also try quinoa and it turn out perfect . I have try make that many time on the stove with average result . this rice cook be extremely small , but it be a perfect size for two people . I like it because it be small and fit in the cupboard easily , and it be very easy to clean . in the future I might upgrade to something larger and more advanced , but to be honest I do not see a need for it right now . this do a great job , and it be less than $ 15 . what be not to love about it ? +461 RiceCooker POS 5 we have have this rice cooker for a month and have use it 4 time . I experience none of the problem that a small number of review indicate . with that in mind , this be one of those thing that perform so well that you wonder how it could be such a bargain . +481 RiceCooker POS 5 I have never have a rice cooker before but I decide to get one since I be focus on eat healthier and most of the `` good '' rice take forever to cook . I read quite a bit of review on Amazon and decide to get this one . it be really easy to use and a breeze to clean . I do not really care about the exact measurement of rice it actually cook , I just care about the tasty rice it make . I know ton of review on all type of rice cooker complain that it be not technically a full cup of rice . who care ? it still taste the same , right ? anyways , I use chicken broth in make the whole grain brown rice\/wild rice mix . it have so much flavor that I do not need any salt or other seasoning . I put the rice and the chicken broth use the `` cup '' that be include , set the button on `` cook '' and completely and happily forget about it until ding to let I know it be do . it come out perfect and I like that I do not have to worry about remember to stir it like cooking on the stove top . I also like the fact that this rice cooker be small and take up so little space on my kitchen counter . I be look forward to experiment more in cooking with this versatile little rice cooker . I highly recommend it to anyone who be look for a inexpensive , easy to clean , easy to use rice cooker . +454 RiceCooker NEU 3 ok I buy this rice cooker because the little rice cooker I have always burn the rice . this rice cooker look great , but it be also burn the bottom of my rice . I usually cook brown rice , it keep burn on the brown rice set so I decide to try cooking it on the white rice setting , it still burn on the bottom , but not as bad . still use it , I guess you get what you pay for . I buy this one think it be a great deal , low cost alternative to the more expensive rice cooker . I will continue to use it , just will not stir up the rice when it be do . +148 RiceCooker POS 4 I just get this rice cooker and I really like it so far . I travel a lot for work and it fit great inside luggage without take up too much room . it also work well for I , I have read other reviewer that talk about it leak but I have not experience that . it be pretty small , but 3 cup of rice be plenty for two people for a meal with even a little bit leave over . one aspect I do not like be that it do not have a turn off switch so you have to make sure to unplug it after you be do with it . +60 RiceCooker NEG 1 I buy this cooker a couple of year ago . I do not use it a lot because it seem unable to know when the rice be do and always overcook it . I have a cheap rice cooker before this and the Sanyo do no better because I have to keep check to see if the rice be do . then the inner lid warped and when I try to get a replacement the two third party part distributor on the Sanyo website say the part be not available , it have be on back order for month with no estimated time of shipping . there be no email or phone number for customer support on the Sanyo website -- no one to complain to or get more information from . it be a dead end which mean I have to buy another rice cooker when I have probably only ever use this one maybe two dozen time . very expensive rice . I be feed up with Sanyo . +721 RiceCooker POS 5 this little steamer be a excellent and easy way to cook rice . it come out perfectly every time and clean up be so easy . +995 RiceCooker NEU 3 I rcvd this product earlier then what be quote , which be great ! I be very happy ... until i open the package and realize it be miss the Bowl to cook product in . I contact the vendor to see if maybe they could send I one , i be willing to pay for it too . however Rachel at Black and Decker state that they no longer make this product -lrb- hence price -rrb- and that i should return it to purchase a different model as this one be know to be `` defective '' the only reason why i give this a 3 , be for shipping . other then that i can not say if this work for I or not . = -lrb- +659 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy this rice cooker hope that I would be able to cook rice for myself without burn it and it work the first time as advertise . the instruction be a little weird but nothing to complicate . like many have say you can start the rice in the morning and come home to perfect rice . 2 cup of rice be enough for 2-3 people since you will not loose any rice to sticking or burning . do not think twice about buy this rice cooker it be great and do not be scare that it be not make in japan the quality be still there . +715 RiceCooker POS 5 this -lrb- actually the Sanyo ecj-hc55 5-1\/2 - Cup Micro-Computerized Rice Cooker and Slow Cooker , White just a sign of appreciation because she really , really like rice but it be much more than a rice cooker . of course , - it cook porridge - it cook sushi rice - it cook rinse-free rice - it cook haiga rice - it cook mixed\/sweet rice - it cook brown rice - it cook sprout brown rice - it cook -lrb- if you be in a hurry -rrb- you rice quickly in addition , - it slow cook -lrb- 2 setting -rrb- - it make tofu - it steam - it boil egg accessory include : a spatula , a measure cup , a tofu container , inner lid for rice and slow cooking , titanium-coated and well marked inner pot for rice and slow cooking and recipe include in the manual and in a separate , full-color book by famous chef Martin Yan with 16 additional recipe . we have have this cooker for several month now and my wife be very happy with it . she often use it to make soup and , of course , for rice . we have not try the tofu maker yet but she be use it , occasionally to steam vegetable or to boil egg . we be impress by the easy to use control - it take about 10 minute to learn how to operate it . some of the more useful feature include the ` keep warm ' capability that actually come with a time indicator tell you for how many hour the contents have be keep warm and a timer that allow you to easily program the cooker to start at a specific time . to my surprise , the multilingual manual -lrb- english\/japanese\/chinese -lrb- ? -rrb- \/ korean -lrb- ? -rrb- be complete and write well enough to be easily understand -lrb- the English section -rrb- . we be very happy with this appliance . it fully deserve a 5-star rating . note : the 5.5 cup model -lrb- see reference at the top of the review -rrb- seem to be quite sufficient for we family of 5 because we can only eat so much rice or soup at one time so , unless you constantly have guest , you might be better off with the smaller model and save some money , space and power . +89 RiceCooker POS 5 I receive this machine 10 day ago and I be completely satisfy with it . every batch of rice be perfect , and it be a snap to clean . the timer be a terrific feature . one note though : some reviewer have warn that the white rice capacity be only 2 cup . this be not the case . the same scale on the bowl be use for both white rice and `` mixed '' rice . the scale be misleadingly label . the manual state that the white rice capacity be 3 cup , while the `` mixed '' rice capacity be 2 cup . do not let this confusion hold you back . +786 RiceCooker NEU 3 I have not use it yet , but it be so small , i have to write a '' pre-view '' . I will update after use . update I have use it , and i be satisfy this be a decent product . the one thing be the risk of you rice burning when it go into warm mode . I just plug it out when it switch . I have get really good tasting , textured result . so its worth it afterall . @@@ Hope this satisfy the person who indicate my pre-review be unhelpful . +522 RiceCooker NEG 2 I purchase this item from a local retailer less than two week ago . I use it the first time right after I buy it . I find the direction a bit disjointed , the rice be fine . the second time I use it , a week later , it just quit . the cooking process just stop and go into warm mode while the rice be still raw . I unplug it and try again , same thing . just kick over to warm mode within 5 minute . so , back to the pot on the stove and back to the store for this cooker . +940 RiceCooker NEG 2 buy this nifty little device two month back . it still work fine ; i use it for dinner 2-3 time a week . by little , I really mean little . for just $ 6 more , you can probably get a cooker that be twice the capacity . and the product specification be very misleading . the box and instruction manual say that the 3-cups uncooked , -lrb- i.e. 6-cups cook -rrb- . but what they really mean be for 3 cup cook ; 1.5 cup uncooked . if you be cooking rice as a staple for carb , this will not feed more than 2 regular people for a meal ; it will probably not be enough for 2 hungry teenager . furthermore , i cook brown rice which require more water than regular rice , and the steam splash out from the lid once i go beyond the 1 cup uncooked mark . just a minor gripe , but it be remind I of how far i have fall from my previous japanese cooker with a secure hinged cover . other than size and splash , it do the job good well . the size of the cooker be really a bummer for I , because i have intend to add in vegetable or fish to cook with the rice -lrb- for `` unsupervised '' cooking -rrb- . neither be it large enough for you to cook a pot of instant raman in it . +30 RiceCooker POS 5 so , far , this be a great cooker ! I can do rice , quinoa , and even dry bean ! I have not try bread yet , but the manual say I can make it , too ! it be very useful . it be a great mid-range model , and a good size for a 2-person household . +878 RiceCooker POS 4 I love the red color but have not use it yet . Hubby find it and say I do not need it to send it back ... ... . . +352 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker in incredible . all claim be valid . imagine make sushi rice while you be out walk , or gardening . just push a button ... it be a simple as that . no more bubble over ; no more mess to clean up . even my husband , who never cook , be intrigue . it be expensive , but life be short and I have better thing to do than watch rice simmer . +674 RiceCooker POS 5 we have be use this rice cooker for a month now , and we have no complaint . it have definitely make life simpler for we . we love brown rice , but do not usually have time to cook it on weeknight . now , we can just set the rice maker to go in the morning , program the time we want the rice to be ready , and it do the rest . the rice cooker automatically calculate the time to start cooking , so the rice be freshly cook when we get home . -lrb- I have originally fear it would just keep it warm all day , but that be not the case . -rrb- the rice come out perfectly . we have also use the `` porridge '' set to make steel-cut oats for breakfast -lrb- another long-lead-time favorite -rrb- . it work great . we use the same oats\/water ratio -lrb- 1:3 -rrb- that we would for cooking it on the stove . no problem ! +119 RiceCooker NEG 2 this be advertise as a 6-cup rice cooker . I have a 5-cup cooker and it be so much bigger than this one . this cooker be really only a 3 cup -lrb- uncooked -rrb- rice cooker . it contain up to 6 cup only after the rice be cook . this cooker be mislabele . +160 RiceCooker POS 5 I love the black and Decker Rice Cooker . it be perfect size and easy useage be the reason why I make a second purchase of this item . it would make a great gift for a college student or a wedding gift for sure . the seller provide excellent service . +174 RiceCooker POS 5 we have food at the Church I attend quiet often , I buy this rice cooker for that purpose . we have a lenten soup supper , threee of we cook rice I cook 14 cup of Texmati rice , all mine be eat . -lrb- they 's be not -rrb- Perfect first time . +903 RiceCooker POS 5 it be my 2nd rice cooker and the 1st one be too big for a small household like mine , and we end up waste lot of leave over rice . so I decide to purchase another one for daily use . the look be stylish and go with other appliance in my kitchen . it take very small space on the counter top , and prepare rice good enough for 2-4 ppl . I like they instruction on how much rice\/water I should put in and how long it will be ready . with that information , I start the rice cooker and then prepare the dish . when the dish be all do , the rice be ready and warm to eat . all do within 30min . the moist level be just right for I . and for the price $ 17 , wow ! +926 RiceCooker POS 5 I love this rice cooker ! I get this item on sale and have be use it for about 2 year now . I be very happy with it ! contrary to what another reviewer say , mine do not make a mess at all . however , I never fill it to the full 6 cup capacity , I usually make less than 3 cup of rice as it be only my husband and myself . this be a wonderful product at a great price ! I definitely recommend this ! +678 RiceCooker NEG 2 this my my first ever rice cooker and I be wonder if all rice cooker produce the same result ... very disappointing and sticky rice ? the first day i try the cooker , I put everything in and set it to go , give it it be stir at 15 minute and my rice still come out crunchy on bottom , extremely sticky , and a little dry . today be the second try . I add a little extra water to compensate for the dryness . after the 15 minute I stir continuously , and the rice still come out all funky . still crunchy on the bottom , really sticky , but not burn . as other have mention it be messy , the steam hole actually work like a whale spout and spit bit of rice and ton of water . I have to keep a towel under the cooker while it be run to prevent my cabinet from get soak in rice water . +939 RiceCooker POS 5 I be japanese and move away from my mother who make rice all the time . practically live on rice . this thing do the trick . I just make rice . put it in freezer bag and store it in freezer till i want some . then throw a little in microwave . or make sushi . yeah it may be a little messy . if u want something totally clean . ur stupid ! move back in with ur mommy then . and she can do it for u. Everything be messy ! quit be lazy and clean it up . there be absolutely nothing wrong with this thing . although I wont be use the steamer much . if any . I just like rice ! +577 RiceCooker NEG 1 I purchase a aroma rice cooker and after I use it twice the lid would not seal . I contact the company and they never even bother to reply . lousy product , lousy customer service . waste money and time . I will never buy another aroma product . +937 RiceCooker POS 5 the package come perfectly wrap and if you take the time to read the instruction then the rice cook perfect . the only downside be that you have to clean it : \/ +816 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker\/slow cooker do a great job cooking rice of every kind and work great as a slow cooker ... this two in one appliance belong in every kitchen ... you will not be sorry if you add this rice cooker\/slow cooker to you kitchen ... it will make you smile every time you use it ... Rodney ; Houston , TX +591 RiceCooker POS 5 I love this rice cooker . this be the best rice cooker I ever have with excellent value . make great rice every time . it come with ` Steam Tray ' as well which be `` great '' . fast cooking ! , it only take 13 ~ 15 minute to cook white rice . reasonable price for such a high quality product with Free Shipping . most excellent choice for the rice cooker and I highly recommand to everyone . +47 RiceCooker POS 5 this be one of the best and most useful home appliance I have ever buy . we buy this to replace a much cheaper rice cooker -lrb- around $ 40 -rrb- and we be so glad we buy this . the fuzzy logic technology really do make a difference . we have perfect rice , every time , and have now be eagerly try all different type of rice and love the new flavor experience . my favorite feature be the timer . you can set the cooker to be do at a particular time . I use this to have a nice hot breakfast ready for I at 6 be , when I be too bleary-eyed to cook anything `` from scratch . '' I also use it to have the rice perfectly do for dinner time , at just the right time . no worry at all about `` when will it be do ? '' this machine figure it all out for you . I have a kitchen full of applicance but this be the one that be get use the most , often twice a day now . there be usually 2 of we for dinner and this make the right amount for 2 for dinner , plus enough leave over to prepare a good breakfast . love it ! +333 RiceCooker POS 5 I purchase this rice cooker over a year ago , and it have work perfectly everytime . I have even leave it too long on the `` warm '' feature , and it do not burn the rice . I would recomend it without reservation to anyone want a convenient , small rice cooker . +850 RiceCooker POS 5 spent way too much time research the various brand and finally decide on the Sanyo due to the slow cooking option . the first day i try simple Jasmine rice and it come out perfect . next day try Botan -lrb- Medium Grain -rrb- rice and once again it be cook just like a resturant . decide to try a simple slow cook chicken stew recipe from the internet , come out good and the slow cook function work very well . grant it be only be a week since I have have it but I have to highly recommend it due to it be versitility . some of the feature that stand out for I be ; 1 . 12 hour clock -lrb- not 24 hour like some brand -rrb- 2 . contact Sanyo about change battery -lrb- clock -rrb- and it can be change by the user without ship to Sanyo . -lrb- do take a little common sense though -rrb- 3 . come with two pan , one for Rice , other for slow cook along with a steam tray and tofu tray . 4 . easy to use ! 5 . make great rice ! I do not think I need to spend more money for better taste . 6 . look to be build well . for those who be wonder , it be manufacture in China . I be very happy with this cooker ! +900 RiceCooker NEG 1 I put in enough rice and water to make 1 cup of cook rice and then turn the cooker on . a few minute later the water be boil madly - bubble up and out of the lid to form a little , starchy moat around its rim . either the cooker be too hot or the hole in the lid too small , but whichever the case , this little , shaky devise could hardly handle 100 ml of water . Heaven know how other people have manage to get 3 cup of cook rice out of it -lrb- see other review -rrb- . I be alarm by the violence of its splutter as cooking get into full swing , so I decide to take the lid off and add some more water . I go away for five minute to check a e-mail and when I get back the light have go off . accord to the manual the `` indicator light will stay on until the appliance be unplugged '' . the appliance be not unplugged . the rice have only be cook for about ten minute , albeit at a very high temperature , and since then I have never be able to get the light to turn back on again , nor make the cooker cook . I presume something have blow . I buy this cooker simply because I be a student and this one be nearly the cheapest on the market . also Black & Decker be a fairly well know and trust brand , i.e. I purchase it without much discretion . I do , however , have a few concern before make my purchase . most notably ; there do not appear to be any way to set a timer for the cooking duration . the cooker only have a plug and one switch -lrb- with two function : ` cook ' and ` keep warm ' -rrb- . I eat many different type of rice , each with they own cooking time , so a basic ` on button ' do not really suffice . I ignore this concern , since other claim to have achieve perfect jasmine , brown , white , -lrb- you name it -rrb- rice , yet on receive the cooker , there be nothing in the manual to tell I how . my cooker blow on its first trial , so I never find out if time setting be possible . I would be interested if anyone could enlighten I . I have not return this item because I live in the UK and it would cost further money to do so . the strange thing be ; the confidence in my choice of cooker be bolster especially by the review on this website . it be not for I to say whether these review be genuine or accurate etc. but nonetheless I implore you not to listen to they and to see sense in the idea that a rice cooker , as dirt-cheap as this , may well turn out to be every bit as crap as the one send to I . if I have persuade you to look further than ` best price ' and to research cooker that may be more expensive , but that may actually work , then today I have do a service to society . good luck . n.b. I have give this product one star because when I try to give it zero star the site would not allow I to submit my review . ` please rate this comment ' comin ' up in red letter , and all that . Pfft . +894 RiceCooker POS 4 I use to have a Zojirushi rice cooker before it break . this one be no be near that good with quality or the way it cook rice . however for the price it be a great little rice cooker . Easy to clean and use . I would say the only real drawback be that be do tend to burn rice on the bottom of the pot if you do not watch and stir occasionally . I usually end up add a quarter cup of water or so with brown or white rice to avoid burning . besides that work as advertise and you get what you pay for . +587 RiceCooker POS 5 after burn out 3 pot try , I quit make rice until I could find a cooker that be the right size -lrb- small -rrb- , be easy to clean , and would not break after 3 use -lrb- National -rrb- . when i see the Zojirushi could also make steel cut oats I be sell . I have use it for 2 week and make sushi rice , white rice and steel cut oats . the timer be great ! it have my breakfast ready and wait when I wake up and come out perfectly every time . the rice have also be flawless . I love the size -lrb- same size as my toaster -rrb- and the retractable cord . the bowl inside be non-stick , and removable make it a breeze to clean . this be a winner !! it be perfectly size for singles or couple . I could not be happier ! p : best steel cut recipe be 1:2.5 -lrb- oats to water -rrb- , program on ` Porridge ' setting . +346 RiceCooker POS 5 buy this item in Dec. 2009 and have be use it about two month now - we really like it ! strong even steam and very versatile . the cooker have lot of cooking option but be easy to use overall . we steam lot of vegetable use this cooker and they always come out great once you figure out how much time be best for the amount you have . Rice be evenly cook and come out nice and fluffy . the build in power cord retract into the cooker base which be a nice feature as well . the unit be easy to clean and be a good compact size which save in storage space . overall we be very happy with the purchase with zero issue so far . +205 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy this because I have a rice cooker before that be great for my family and since its just I and the cat these day this little rice cooker be just perfect . it be quick and make nice rice , I may try it with a little less water next time to make a firmer rice for fried rice . I like that it heat up other `` stuff '' too . +400 RiceCooker POS 5 we eat a lot of rice and this rice cooker do the job beautifully . it be so nice to make it ahead of time and keep in the fridge . the brown rice even come out great , and that be never be a favorite before now . I highly recommend this product to anyone who love rice and the convenience this cooker offer . it be also cheaper to buy the big bag of long cooking rice , rather than the boil-it bag we have use before . the steamer be also a nice feature for one pot meal . +684 RiceCooker POS 5 I absolutely love it ! I never know how easy it would be . I have cook rice and steamed vegetable at the same time and both turn out PERFECT . aroma arc-1266f 6-cup Rice Cooker & Food Steamer +606 RiceCooker POS 4 this work great for white rice . brown rice seem a bit dryer but be still fluffy . the direction be sketchy , but it be a good product . +819 RiceCooker POS 5 I have have this rice cooker for a few month now . all I can say be , it work great ! it be suggest by a friend who buy a similar Zojirushi model year ago -lrb- which still work just as new -rrb- . at first I think , $ 130 for a rice cooker ? a bit skeptical , I give it a try and be pleasantly surprise . Perfect rice every time ! the only downside be that it can take a while to cook . not to be use if you want you rice now . it do have a quick cook setting , although even that will run about half a hour or so . some might think 3 cup be not all that much . now , I be not feed a village with this thing . . but for 4 people , 3 cup be more than enough . I 'll give it a `` a '' for it be simple use and definitely a `` a + '' for value . +999 RiceCooker POS 5 it cook Rice and yep it work , wonderful little cooker for when you just need a cup of rice cook : -rrb- +665 RiceCooker NEG 2 get this as a gift and i be glad we replace i with panasonic . we get 2 year out of it then finally die . it be sprinkle rice water while cooking everywhere - to the window , to the wall ... +759 RiceCooker POS 5 I have have this thing for over a year and I love it , it be so easy to use and the rice always come out perfect . it work great to make a easy healty meal all I do be through some vegy maybe a little salmon in with the rice and a hour latter I have a healthy tasty meal +967 RiceCooker POS 5 this pot - oh my !

I could not believe how small it be , I think it be a toy for the kid . the main reason I pick this one be for the B&D; name and also because of the non-stick bowl . most cooker be aluminum and everything stick and be a pain to wash . my old rice cooker that break be small too but this B&D; one be half the size of it ! like I say it work but its way way too small ! +582 RiceCooker POS 4 great tiny appliance but if you want to learn to economize when cooking rice : this one for you ! when I read its description of a 3 cup cooker I imagine 3 cup of rice . not so ... 2cups water + one cup rice = 3 cups\/yield total ingredient . will be useful for heat up cheese sauce , dip etc. . so really usueful once you get over the shock of it be tiny size . +224 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker be perfect for we family of 3 . we have own this product for 18 month now and have use it weekly . we have have no concern with the quality or the consistency of the cooker .

I make a lot of rice - usually white , brown , and mixed . I could never get the brown & mixed grain rice cook right in my old-style rice cooker . it be turn out perfectly every single time in the Sanyo ! this cooker be very easy to use and the instruction that come with it be clear . the machine come with two inner pot and two inner lid - one for rice & another for everything else . the rice pot be heavier than the everything-else pot . both cook just fine . I have steam lot of veggy use the steamer basket . I even make the bread pudding recipe from the manual a couple of time -lrb- with the addition of brandy-soaked raisin -rrb- . the Sanyo cook rice so perfectly that I 'll happily overlook the two minor negative I have encounter . 1 -rrb- the interior pot be not non-stick . Rice do not stick to the rice pot . -lrb- I usually add a tiny bit of oil to the water . -rrb- but , thing really stick to the everything-else pot . 2 -rrb- the steamer insert be plastic & have acquire a faint orange tint from cooking carrot . that be probably the nature of the plastic . in my book these be really minor negative . I would buy this product again . +96 RiceCooker POS 4 this be my first rice cooker and i have to say that I could not be happier with this product . I mean really what more could you really ask for . add rice , water , salt and butter -lrb- if you want -rrb- hit the button and forget about it . go on with the rest of you cooking . it have a `` keep warm '' function that happen automatically so you rice be nice and warm . and the clean up be so simple that my 5 year old can do it and she do ! +749 RiceCooker POS 5 make excellent succulent white rice . love it even better for porridge . able to use timer function , setup ingredient and porridge be perfectly make . texture be better than use slow cook pot or cooking old fashion way over the stove . I be american-chinese and I previously own a Zorushi rice cooker . do not worry about the absence of a condensation catcher on the Sanyo , as mention in some review , because it do not drip very much when you open the lid . I be delighted with this product . I buy this a month ago . my mom be visit and even she be impress with the quality of the cook rice . I will try brown rice and see if it be as impressive . +691 RiceCooker POS 4 excellent product and great value . I only cook 1-2 cup of rice in it . not sure it would cope with any more than that as it be quite small . +245 RiceCooker NEG 2 I have this product for less than a year and I go to cook rice one day and the cook lever would not stay down . it keep pop up like it do when the rice be do . . I be very dissapointed , usually Black & Decker product be good product , but not in this case . I be on here look for a new one , and I can guarantee it will not be Black & Decker +189 RiceCooker POS 4 this be a gift for a friend who use she old rice cooker til it die . she tell I it work great , nothing stick , and it look great too ! +619 RiceCooker POS 5 it do great rice , that be probably be cover in other review . it also do steel cut oats , with 3:1 water ratio on the porridge setting . the timer function allow you to set the time that it finish cooking , so oatmeal can be ready when you wake up . you can even put the cooker on high and toast the oats in butter before you add water . it also do lentil curry . same porridge setting , delicious result . quinoa with frozen vegetable can be do with the quick cook setting . add some broth or bullion cube for much-needed flavor . so there you have it . it be pretty versatile , once you learn how to use it , creativity will get you far . +714 RiceCooker POS 4 I purchase this at target and have be very happy with it . it do have a problem with burning on the bottom of the pan a little bit for I when I make sushi rice , but I can live with that . it be well worth the money consider how convenient and easy it be to use . +381 RiceCooker POS 4 even after 24 hour , the color of rice in the cooker do not turn to yellow . +730 RiceCooker POS 5 we have have a `` cheap '' rice cooker for year . we remember it make good rice but for some reason we have not be able to duplicate it lately , so we decide to buy this Sanyo computerize rice cooker . take a trip to what might be the only asian market in town . they have one whole room full of rice , so I decide to ask for some advice . the very nice woman work there say all I need to know be that if I want sticky rice I should buy short-grain , otherwise I should buy long-grain . so I buy a small bag of short-grain white rice - grow and package in the USA oddly enough . today i use the new cooker to cook 3 cup of the rice . I use the cooker pre-soak feature to let the rice soak for a hour before cooking . the rice come out just how I like it - sticky - like we get at pf chang . use the control be easy . the inner bowl be very thick and non-stick . the power cord retract . love this cooker . I hope I do not love it so much that I discover I buy one that be too small . three of we do not eat all of the 3 cup I cook today , but I would say that if you be cook for more than 3 people you might want to go larger . +405 RiceCooker POS 5 this be my second Sanyo rice cooker and its as great as the first . they be the best out there . +74 RiceCooker POS 5 I actually do a lot of research before buy this , and it really pay off . this be a great , simple rice cooker \/ warmer that do exactly what you want it to do - make great rice every time . +328 RiceCooker POS 4 this be a really cheap rice cooker , so naturally it be very simple and be not as versatile as the more expensive model . however , if all you be interested in be the basic functionality , it do the job almost perfectly . if you have ever use a rice cooker you probably already know everything there be to know about it , they all follow the same pattern . it be get a non-stick pan , a warming function , a spoon and a cup and a steam tray . basic stuff so i will not go into that . I be not sure if there be any real difference in cooking time between different rice cooker -lrb- i would assume not since rice can only absorb water so quickly -rrb- , but this do the job well . a cup or two of white rice take 15 or 20 minute to finish ; if it be brown rice it 'll be more like 30 . it seem slightly faster than boiling , but not by much . -lrb- definitely way more convenient though . -rrb- some thing i do notice : 1 . when you plug it in , it automatically go into ` cook ' mode , even if the lid be open and the button be not press . this be kind of annoying , i do not understand why it do it . 2 . as far as i can tell , you can not just leave it plug in all the time like a toaster . it be always run as long as it be get power , so when you be do with it you have to unplug it . this be a minor irritation , because i be lazy . : -lrb- 3 . the manual come with cooking direction , but in my experience so far they have be off . if i follow the manual 's instruction , my rice always come out a too dry , kind of with a fried-rice consistency . this be especially the case with brown rice -lrb- which require more liquid obviously -rrb- . they water measurement be just too conservative . but this of course depend on what kind of rice you be use , whether you add any extra ingredient , and so on , so it 'll vary . you 'll figure it out after one or two attempt though . if you be interested in a rice cooker but you be wonder if it be worth it to get one , i would definitely recommend it , especially since this one be so cheap . I myself have not personally own a rice cooker before -lrb- although i be familiar with they -rrb- , so i be sceptical about whether it would get enough use out of it to justify the cost . but i do ! it be much easier to make it in the rice cooker than it be on the stove ; i can dump the rice in when i wake up , and go do what i need to do to get ready for work -lrb- without worry about whether it 'll burn -rrb- , and then shovel it all out right before i leave . I eat a lot more rice now than i do before . +727 RiceCooker POS 4 I be a big rice eater . I like to mix rice with most of my meal . it be always a pain to cook the rice as I have to keep check on the progress so as not to scorch the rice . I have only have this cooker for a week -lrb- the reason for the 4 star rating -rrb- . so far this be a dream come true ! it be so easy to put everything in the cooker and let it do the rest . it really be idiot proof . the removable inside bowl -lrb- which be very sturdy and non-stick -rrb- have all the correct level of water to add for each type of rice . even the little measure cup be just right . the different kind of rice I have try in my one week testing have all cook so much better than I be able to cook on the stove . it be a little pricey for occasional rice preparation but for the people like I that always like to have rice on hand , it be great ! I would absolutely recommend this product . -lrb- I have not try the bread bake capability yet and probably will not -rrb- . +868 RiceCooker POS 5 I actually inherit this from a former tenant and keep it on a whim . I use it along with my emergency rice as a backup in case I get home late from work and realize I have not go grocery shopping since dinosaur roam the earth . I like use it to cook brown rice -lrb- 30 min -rrb- with soup stock flavoring and it yield a good 3 hearty bowl of waist-increasing dinner . they key be to stir it about 20 minute in to shake up the rice so it cook evenly and use measure cup to make sure you have the ratio correct . +755 RiceCooker POS 4 this rice cooker arrive much smaller than I think . it work when I be cooking for myself . if I be cooking for 2 people or more , it be way not big enough . but other than that , it work pretty well . +15 RiceCooker POS 5 this be my first rice cooker . I be a bread baker by nature and be interested with the double function . I could not tell you how excited I be when I open up my first batch of rice and it come out perfect . it be easy to use , easy to clean and take up so little room . I even like the retractable cord . a great buy ! +312 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy this rice cooker on one of the lightning deal from Amazon , but after use it , would pay triple if I ever have to replace it . it be a tiny rice cooker , but it be perfect for multiple type of rice , quinoa and oatmeal . I use the cooker every morning to make a single serve of oatmeal . the device be really a set-and-go sort of thing , and automatically shut off when the rice or grain be 15 minute from be ready . as I say in the title for this review , I be guess this be go to be my best purchase of 2011 . +761 RiceCooker NEU 3 this cooker cook real quick and keep the softness of the rice as we desire . its be 2 week since we get it and it be work pretty fine except that it get messy . the lid and handle get all starchy very soon and we have to ensure that other item nearby be well cover from the steam . have use better cooker in India where the lid be a bit more heavier to hold down the bubbling and the hole for the steam be a little smaller to allow only a small and controlled amount of steam . it help in control the mess . otherwise we be pretty happy with this cooker as it easy to wash also . +66 RiceCooker POS 5 it cook rice perfectly , and keep warm quite well . the rice , depend on the grain , do get a little too hard above 4 or 5 hour of the `` keep warm '' function , and inedibly so after 8 hour . when this happen , I just add a little water and press the cook button again . it will rehydrate the rice quickly -lrb- much faster than have to cook the rice from scratch -rrb- and automatically switch to the warm function . I cook rice almost daily , and find that the cooking time and quality be above average . the interface be very easy to use , and do much to enhance the functionality and design of the machine . I have have the cooker for a month now , and it be still work as new . other have note that it do not come with a rice paddle holder , which may be a hassle to some , but do not bother I in the slightest . the plastic paddle be textured such that the rice rarely hang onto it . the paddle then can then be leave directly on the countertop without leave bit of gunky rice behind . as a student , I have little time to prepare meal . I find that this rice cooker make delicious meal in no time at all - like a pressure or slow cooker . I have also use it to make curried rice with vegetable and chicken . just through it all in and let it cook . I be go to go for the zojirushus 3.5 as this be the one my parent own and suggest , but I find this one cheaper and more good look . and the rice be just as good ! I would highly recommend this product to anyone choosing between these two model . +576 RiceCooker NEG 1 I agree with the other reviewer , this be not a 3-cup rice cooker . more importantly it break after only a few time use . now I have to buy a new one , this be a horrible experience . do not buy !!! 1 +822 RiceCooker NEU 3 I love this cooker . we get it as a wedding gift and now that we have be marry 3 and a half year it stop work . I would expect it to last longer than that . we only use 1-2 time a month and only make 2-3 cup of rice at a time . go to buy a different brand this time . +970 RiceCooker POS 4 this cooker be to replace my old aroma rice cooker which I have love for year . I have use it 2-3 time and so far , during each cooking , the water from the unit escape from the top not only as steam , but as a goopy mess that leak onto the counter if you be not there to sop it up during the cooking process . today i use the cooker again and to my surprise , there be none of the goopy mess . it work perfectly and make perfect rice . I rinse the rice -lrb- no soak -rrb- before the cooking and put a little butter in the cooker and mixed with rice to coat . I also add about 1\/2 cup extra water . I do open the cooker before it alert I it be do and I fluff the rice . it be perfect so I pull the plug -lrb- another quirk they change - my old one have a retractable cord which be fabulous -rrb- and let it sit for a few minute before I be ready to serve . maybe the cooker need to be `` break in '' ?? anyway , all be well and I be happy with this cooker . as long as it continue to work the way it do tonight , I recommend . +171 RiceCooker NEG 1 this work for less than a month . I would not buy another one of these . sure hope B&D; improve this product line . +706 RiceCooker NEG 1 there be a number of issue with this product that make it a deal breaker . 1 . after ninety minute , the brown rice be just get do . it be only a cup and a half of rice . Lord help we if we actually want to make more ; I would have to start it in the morning ! 2 . the rice be gloppy , closer to rice pudding than brown rice . 3 . it do not cook 16 cup of rice . it cook 8 . 4 . the steamer sit inside the unit , so if you want to make the full amount of rice , you can not simultaneously steam . this product be go back . I definitely would not purchase this item . +374 RiceCooker POS 5 Zojirushi do not disappoint with this rice cooker . as a twenty-something living by himself , this model be absolutely perfect -- while still large enough to feed other if I have company ! of course , it make perfect rice every time -lrb- and delicious rice pudding -rrb- . +551 RiceCooker POS 4 easy to use and work well and can steam veggy as well also come with accessory with good overall quality . +84 RiceCooker POS 5 I be still experiment . I just make teriyakus country pork rib , which be awesome ! I need to compensate for high altitude , that be what I be still work on . +871 RiceCooker POS 5 this be a terrific rice cooker . I originally look at cheaper model , but be draw to this one because of the fantastic review . I would say the key positive for the Zojirushi cooker be 1 . -rrb- consistent production of high quality rice 2 . -rrb- the stay warm function 3 . -rrb- fool proof operation . I be not much of a cook , but this machine churn out perfect rice every time . also , with the 3 cup version you can make as little as one cup of rice -lrb- qualitatively , the best result have come when I have make 2 cup -lrb- uncooked -rrb- -rrb- . I have find 3 cup of uncooked rice be great for 3-4 hungry people . highly recommend machine ! +600 RiceCooker POS 4 I believe it be the best machine out there to cook perfect rice . no burning or hard rice on the bottom . Perfect for a couple or a single person , anymore you would need a 5 cup model . the warmer be awesome ! it still warm the rice like you just cook it , without it go smelly or hard . another great feature be the programming , it cook when I want it to cook automatically ! the bad quality of this product be minor . I wish they would make a more attractive style . even though it be stainless steel accent , there be still that plastic white around it . also the porridge set work , I be mistake for it to make congee . so it do make mushy rice porridge , but it do not make watery congee rice . I wish it come with a steamer rack , but I guess this version be too small . another minor thing be the cooking programming time , it go by military time , not by 24hr . +764 RiceCooker POS 5 Worth the money -- perfect rice every time ! produce restaurant-quality rice , turn out nice and fluffy to perfection . I have cook from 1\/2 cup of rice to 3 cup of rice perfectly on this machine . the unit 's automatic keep-warm function keep rice at a ideal serve temperature until it be ready to be serve . the appliance come equip with a extra-large color lcd display with clock and timer function , a spherical inner nonstick cooking pan and heating system , a convenient detachable inner lid for easy cleaning , and a built-in retractable cord and clear-coated stainless-steel exterior . very easy cleanup . cook many different type of rice include white , sushi , porridge , brown , and quick cooking . accessory include a measure cup , nonstick rice spatula , and spatula holder . +803 RiceCooker POS 4 good product , make rice perfectly , only problem be that it do splatter a bit , but only for a few min then it stop . Perfect for 1 person . +844 RiceCooker NEG 2 purchase this rice steamer with the expectation that it would produce great tasting fluffy rice , no matter the variety . and it do for a season ! but the last time I use this cute Oster product , a acrid smell come from the base -lrb- heating element -rrb- , so it be quickly unplugged to avoid a possible fire hazard . will not replace the unit with another Oster product . +282 RiceCooker NEG 1 I give this product a year before I go out and get another black and Decker Handy Steamer to replace this . this rice cooker be really a rice `` boiler '' and it only cook small amount of white rice and spit starch out the hole in the top when it do . brown rice turn into crunchy inedible pellet or burn on the bottom . I could never figure out how to get the brown rice to cook for the length of time specify in the product manual because there be no timer feature on this and the product be somehow suppose to magically determine what kind of rice you be cooking . Wild rice be also inedible . the handle on the top be awkward to use with a potholder . get the Black and Decker Handy Steamer instead of this . Rice will come out very fluffy and moist and fully cook . +991 RiceCooker POS 4 everything be good with this product , just it be too small even for one person . I sometime want to steam some vegetable but it be too small . +348 RiceCooker POS 5 I get this product for my boyfriend , and we love it ! the rice be cook perfectly every time , and the warming feature work well , even after 10 hour . I definitely want to buy one of these for myself . +653 RiceCooker POS 5 it be give as a gift . the recipient have use it and love it . they use it several time a week . +897 RiceCooker POS 5 I have a bigger rice cooker but my house never need that much rice . so , I be search for a smaller rice cooker . and I come across this little rice cooker . this must be smallest rice cooker I have ever see ! when I take it out of the box I could help but laugh because it so cute ! anyway , this little rice cooker work very well . and give I just amount of cook rice I need for my household with just two person here . the non-stick coating be great , very easy to clean . +855 RiceCooker POS 5 this be a awesome rice cooker , and do exactly what it be suppose to : make great rice . I usually use mine to make brown rice . I use the Mahatma brown rice . my only complaint be that the instruction for the Zojirushi be cryptic and confusing . in case it help anyone else , here be how you make basic brown rice with this cooker : 1 . -rrb- one plastic measure cup -lrb- 100 ml -rrb- full of brown rice , pour in bowl . 2 . -rrb- Bowl : fill water to 1 under `` brown rice '' . 3 . -rrb- Make sure arrow on display be on `` brown '' . 4 . -rrb- Press pink `` cooking '' button . this will give you perfectly cook brown rice in about a hour and a half . if you do not want you rice to be too bland , throw a chicken bouillon cube or two in before you shut the lid and press the cooking button . I use my brown rice as a side dish , or put it in soup or even Wendy 's chili for a inexpensive meal . +268 RiceCooker POS 5 every morning before I leave for work I 'll set the timer for dinner around 7pm with a cup of brown rice . I get to come home to fresh , hot rice cook perfectly every time . definitely worth every penny . I have also use it to make sushi rice a couple time . Perfect and sticky . it clean up super easy , too . +518 RiceCooker NEU 3 I buy this cooker while ago and I be very pleased with it . it do ' amazing work almost with everything you through inside and almost anything I mean not only rice , vegetable and steal cut oats ; also buckwheat , bean , millet groat and etc. . so far I just try to find out all possibility you can do with logic rice cooker . you may find plenty recipe online and most of they must be adjust to you type of rice cooker ; just play with it and try even it may take to repeat it 2-3 time , you will be please with outcome . I be . the only problem I do have with mine rice cooker be partially break or badly manufacture upper steam vent cap . how I notice ? simply you have to wash all part when you do cooking ... and that way I notice something like crack and later after longer investigation I will say that molding process do not finish well . I order replacement from Amazon ; it arrive very quickly , but guess what ???? New one have exactly the same issue like the previous one . it seem to I that entire series may have the same problem , so just be aware of it . Mine do work so far even with this problem . how long it will work ? I do not know . great product , I love it ... ... it have a issue !!!! +989 RiceCooker POS 5 this be my very first rice cooker and I be extremely happy with it ! it work wonderfully and be not costly at all . I be in love . +517 RiceCooker POS 5 I get this rice cooker for my 84 year old grandma . she need a small , basic cooker with a nonstick interior for easy clean-up -- nothing fancy , no multiple setting or button . it be perfect for she . the only drawback be the fact that the nonstick interior be dark , so it be difficult to see the line which tell you where to fill the water . -lrb- again -- it be for my grandma -- other might not have a problem here -rrb- . she say she like it , and it be a snap to clean up . +300 RiceCooker POS 5 much good for both white and brown rice . metal surface be easy to clean . no visible steam no noise , very quiet . Amazon also do good job on shipment , very fast after order . the only thing not satisfied be little more expensive , but worth to get one . my family love it very much . +747 RiceCooker NEU 3 I guess that good home cook BROWN rice be a pipe dream ! I have have delicious brown rice in restaraunt , but have yet to find good result with a rice cooker . inevitably the rice come out too hard . I have also try the aroma digital rice cooker with no better result . if all you want be plain white rice , I guess this Black & Decker be as good as any . it be still go into the donation pile today though ; noone in this house except I will eat white rice ! +476 RiceCooker POS 4 this rice cooker be perfect for -lrb- relatively -rrb- small batch . it have do a good job on long-grain , jasmine and basmatus rice , with the automatic feature perform flawlessly . it be very easy to clean , and the non stick removable container perform as promise . it be a welcome replacement for my 14-year old Tiger cooker . +288 RiceCooker POS 5 this be a perfect rice cooker for my home , since we eat a lot of rice . very efficient and elegant style . can also steam veggy while cooking rice , so serve dual purpose . great buy for the price it be offer ! +781 RiceCooker POS 5 I be very satisfied with this rice cooker . I use it to cook white or brown rice , the brown be my favorite . the brown rice take a little longer to cook because you have to double the amount of water . for example , if you use one cup of white rice , you use one cup of water . with the brown rice , you use two cup of water for one cup of brown rice . Make sure to rinse the rice several time before place it in the cooker . rinse until the water be relatively clear . this step will keep the rice from be sticky after it cook . clean up be a breeze . +197 RiceCooker POS 4 I grow up with rice cooker that do a poor job . so when my neice want one I try to buy a good one . so far , happy report of good rice , no boil over and easy for a single mom , five in house to feed , to use and clean . what else do we need ? +731 RiceCooker POS 5 this cooker make the best brown rice , time after time . the end result allways come out perfect . Easy to clean to boot . +955 RiceCooker POS 5 we area really enjoy make rice and oatmeat in we new Sanyo cooker . excellent product - great result . +367 RiceCooker POS 4 Black and Decker engineer they product in America . this allow they the legal right to say make in the USA . never the less , all of they product be still make in China and ship to a assembly plant in Mexicali where assemble and package complete with a make in the USA sticker to sell here . have say that , the Chinese make a terrific rice cooker for black and Decker to sell we and my only dislike be you can not turn off the `` warm '' feature which stay on after cooking . so if you do not take the rice off or unplug it when it be do you can dry you rice out . +259 RiceCooker POS 5 we travel to England and Scotland from the US and the product work very well in 5 different hotel with no problem at all . it be small and light and perfect for travel . it do not heat up too much and we use it to cook rice and lentil with potato for we little daughter . we also carry a down converter to provide 110v require for this rice cooker . I rate this product as excellent for all traveler who want to stick to they specific diet . +355 RiceCooker NEG 1 I buy the 3 cup B&D; cooker , it fail in two month . I chalk it off to a defective cooker and buy the 6 cup cooker . low and behold it just quit work in about 3 month ! no more chance from I for B&D; , buy another brand . +55 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker be amazing . it cook rice nicely and in no time . it be so easy to make and easy to clean because of the nonstick surface . it be smaller than a lot of rice cooker I have see but 6 cup of rice be plenty for I personally . I have not try steam vegy but it do come with a book which explain how long to keep particular vegy in there . one downside as far as steam vegy be that you can only steam a very small amount . +772 RiceCooker POS 5 the Zojirushi Micom 3-cup rice cooker and warmer arrive a few day after be order from Warehouse deal by Amazon . it appear to be a new , unopened item . it have be discount because of neglible damage to one of the corner of the outer box . the contents of the box be in perfect shape . I would not hesitate to order from Warehouse deal again . I love make steel cut oats in this cooker . just add oats and water the night before , set the program for `` porridge , '' set the timer to when you want the oats to be ready the next morning , and wake up to perfectly-cooked oats . no more standing over the stove and constantly stir to keep the oats from stick ! this cooker also do a great job with other grain , include quinoa and hull barley . I be still try to perfect brown rice . so far , it tend to come out a bit stickier than I would like , despite wash the rice thoroughly before cooking . I be skeptical about spend over $ 100 for a rice cooker , but after use it 2 or 3 time a week for the last month , I be sell on the convenience . the cooker be well construct , look good for a electronic appliance , and take up minimal space in my small kitchen . highly recommend ! +744 RiceCooker NEG 1 it work great for the first couple of month . if you will need small quantity of rice prepared frequently over a short period of time and then never again , this be the rice cooker for you . if you be look for a long term relationship , move along . +70 RiceCooker POS 5 Easy to use , rice come out perfect . very happy with this item . and at the price point , it be a great buy . +203 RiceCooker POS 5 I get this this rice cooker a month ago . it be be work very well . I like its not sticky at all and all the functionality . however , the clock may slow down once in a while . overall , it be really worth the money ! +666 RiceCooker NEG 1 this rice cooker be not design properly . I put very little water - about 1\/4 fill in the cooker with 1\/2 cup rice in the cup they provide . the water boil to the top and out of the side . what a mess . I really could have use more water because the rice overcooked and be dry out , but place more water in this cooker would have be a real disaster with the water and rice all over the counter . I follow all the instruction in the booklet they provide with this appliance , but still no success . do not like this cooker at all and I do not recommend anyone to purchase it . +390 RiceCooker NEG 2 i own this product , and it be mediocre . it make a mess on whatever surface you place it on , and rice always stick to the bottom of the pot , make it difficult to clean . I be careful to follow the instruction -lrb- which be different for brown rice which require more water -rrb- , but cook one cup only it burn the rice , though with 2 or more cup , it do not burn . +417 RiceCooker POS 5 at the beginning I read some of the review and I be afraid of it will have that chemical smell , but after I use it , it do have any chemical smell come out after the rice be do . so , basically I like this product and it work just fine with my family . +623 RiceCooker POS 4 this product work incredibly well . when I be prepare lunch for work , I put the rice in , put the water in , hit the switch and go about my business as it cook . one tip for people who find the burnt rice on the bottom : add a full cup -lrb- by cup I mean the plastic cup provide -rrb- and then add a additional small amount from the cup into it . it take a bit of experiment on how much additional water but once you get the hang o it , it be second nature . +433 RiceCooker POS 4 this be a great rice cooker for I and my wife . we have make white rice , brown , quinoa , grits , and oatmeal and everything come out perfect . the bottom get a little toasty make for some stick together `` toast skin '' of rice and oatmeal but that be actually quite tasty . I have have the cooker for about 6 month now . I notice a small chip in the non-stick coating . we have only use the rice paddle to scoop stuff out . a replacement bowl make be need in the near future . something black and Decker sell for about $ 6 . +213 RiceCooker POS 5 this little rice cooker be the best rice cooker I have ever use . the little music tune when it start and finish make all the girl smile and the rice come out perfect everytime . the fuzzy logic timer let you plan meal on point and the pressurized lid keep it moist and hot until you want it . +6 RiceCooker NEG 2 from the very first time I use the aroma rice cooker , the switch for `` cook '' would move to the `` warm '' position within the first minute of cooking . I would catch it and push it back to `` cook '' . after about 5 use the switch completely break and I could not set it to anything . I have to say that if I do not have this problem I would have keep the cooker because the rice come out great and we enjoy it . I return it to Amazon and actually order the same one again . I guess my thinking be what would be the odds of get another one like that . well I guess I get the jackpot because the new one also have the same switch problem . I say , `` enough be enough '' and pick a Sanyo rice cooker . I do see in the review that someone else have the same problem with they aroma rice cooker , just think it be one-of-a-kind issue , guess not ! +735 RiceCooker POS 4 we be pretty happy with the rice cooker - we want to eat more brown rice , but the time it take to cook means we never can do it on a work night -lrb- which for we be 6 day a week -rrb- . be able to throw it together on the way out the door and have it be ready when we come back in be fully worth the $ $ . have not try anything but brown rice so far , but we be thrill . my rating would go up if the instruction manual be a little better write - it be a bit vague and make it seem harder than it be . however , once you figure out how to do it , it be really simple , especially because it save you 2 favorite time for rice to be finish . +641 RiceCooker POS 5 everyone should have one of these . I like that you could buy a smaller size . I put leftovers in a ziploc back and nuke it the next day and be just as perfect . I use jasmin rice . so yummy and perfect . +117 RiceCooker NEU 3 it do what it be make to do -- cook rice . it take up very little counter space . it be easy to clean . it be not a fancy rice cooker , mind you , and I wish it have a on\/off button -lrb- it automatically turn on when you plug it in -rrb- . for the price pay , it be a decent addition to my kitchen , even though it probably will not be use that often . +372 RiceCooker POS 4 we buy this to replace a older rice cooker . I love the feature - brown rice and delay timer . we use to jump hoop to cook brown rice well . still come short . however , with this rice cooker its easy and the rice come out with just the right amount of consistency . the delay timer be another feature I really like it . just put the rice and water and set the timer . it will automatically start , cook and come to warm . really convenient . overall I like it and would recommend to other . +770 RiceCooker POS 5 I ask my husband for a rice cooker as a gift , and also ask he not to spend too much on it because I would never use one before and be not sure if I would like it . after all , cooking rice on the stove be not much more complicated than boiling water , so what add value can you get from a rice cooker ? of course he go out and research and shop around and buy I this expensive one . thank heaven . who know that cooking rice could be even easier than I think ? toss some rice and water into the bowl , turn it on , and you be do . if you do not want to wait for it to cook at dinner time , just set it up in the morning and use the timer . the timer function and porridge setting be great . use the porridge set to make fantastic oatmeal . you can put the oats and water in the cooker the night before and set the timer for the next morning . wake up on a cold weekend to hot , fresh oatmeal be amazing ! it be ridiculously easy to clean . a quick swish with sudsy water and a swipe of a sponge and you be do . you 'll also want to pop out the steam cover to rinse and dry it , plus run a towel along the inside of the vent . about 90 seconds worth of effort and you be ready for you next batch . some note : 1 . this machine do not come with a vegetable steamer option ; 2 . the clock on the front be in 24-hour time and can not be change to 12-hour time ; 3 . the default setting be a loud tune at the start and end of the cycle . you can change this pretty easily to either a beep or silence by follow the instruction ; 4 . if you have never use a rice cooker before , you may find the manual seriously lack . get a rice-cooker cookbook . Mine tell I that rice cooker be so common in the asian world -- like toaster in the West -- that they do not need detailed instruction , people just know how to use they . 5 . for oatmeal : follow the recipe on the box of oatmeal you prefer , not the proportion for rice porridge in the manual . Rice porridge be more like a broth . you may want to increase the liquid a bit ; I find the result a little thicker than I be use to . 6 . the big surprise for I be that you need to rinse you rice before use it . I think this would be a nuisance , but it be no big deal . you just measure out the rice , quickly swish it around in some water , pour off the water and repeat a couple of time until the water stop turn so cloudy -lrb- you do not have to go for totally clear -rrb- . 7 . leftover rice can be freeze and keep a long time . nobody tell I this before . if I do not know , then I assume other people might not know either . I would have think it would ruin the texture , but it do not . I take it right out of the freezer to use in other recipe , without defrost it . +271 RiceCooker POS 5 this thing be the perfect size . it work wonderfully . it 'll make enough rice or steam enough veggy for at least two . +212 RiceCooker POS 5 I have never own a rice cooker before so I find this wonderful . I just dump in the rice and water and then push a button and ta da ! it work great for my family of 4 - make just enough rice and be small enough that it do not take up a lot of space in my kitchen cabinet . however , like the one star review say , it do stick to the bottom -lrb- we just soak overnight after use -rrb- and probably do not produce the correct consistency for a rice connoisseur . but for a novice like I I find it a great addition to we kitchen ! +567 RiceCooker POS 5 after own 2 cheap rice cooker that each last less than a year and be too small for my large family , I decide to try this model . it have work out wonderfully ! no matter what kind of rice I try , it turn out perfectly . there be several thing that people should be prepare for , though , before they purchase this unit . I have notice other reviewer have complain that they cooker be burn or brown the rice on the bottom . accord to the instruction that come with my rice cooker , this be a normal occurrence . I do not really care if the very bottom of my rice brown , but I have notice that if I open my cooker and stir the rice near the end of the cycle , this be prevent . I have also notice that I do not have to wait until the beep . I usually will stir my rice toward the end of the cycle , and if I see that the water be absorb I will turn it off . this still produce perfect rice , without the crust on the bottom . incidentally , the other two rice cooker I own do the same thing . the benefit of those cooker be that the lid be clear glass , so I could see when the water be absorb , however they be just too small and both stop work within a year of purchase . another complaint I have see be that it take 1 1\/2 hour to cook brown rice . some people even think they cooker be break and throw out the rice after the traditional 45 minute it would have take on a stove top to cook it . per the instruction book , brown rice be better if give some time to soak before cooking . when cooking brown rice , realize that this model allow the rice time to soak before it actually start to cook it . I usually cook brown rice because I believe it be healthier , and we love the taste and texture . because there be a warm setting that kick in when the rice be do , I can make my rice well in advance and allow it to stay warm while I make dinner . if I be in a hurry and still want rice , I will make long grain white rice or basmatus rice . one other complaint I see be that it do not truly make 16 cup of rice . all of the rice cooker I have own have use they own measuring cup and do not make as much rice as we Americans may expect if we be think in term of we measure cup . if you use the measure cup that come with this cooker , it would make the 16 cup . however , I use a regular measuring cup when I make my rice . I usually make 8 cup cook rice , though I believe I could get 10 cup of rice with this cooker . it be more than I be able to make in my previous cooker . incidentally , I do not use twice the amount of water per the amount of rice , though that work . I have find that I like my rice better when I use just under that amount of water or broth . for instance , if I make 4 cup of uncooked rice , I add 7 1\/2 cup of water or broth . this work well for I , though you can use the extra water . again , I usually stir my rice toward the end of the cycle and stop the cook cycle when it look like the water be absorb . I have use this method with all my cooker to prevent the crust on the bottom . I would encourage people to play around a little bit with the amount of water they use , and if they do not like the crust , which really do not bother I when I be too busy to stop and stir it , then they can prevent it by follow the method I just note . a couple of other thing of note : because the brown rice setting be time to allow soak , realize that if you turn it off or unplug it during the process , it will start the process over again when you turn it back on . I be cooking rice in the kitchen at church for a dish-to-pass afterwards . while I be in the service , a well-meaning young woman who be help with the dinner set-up unplug my rice cooker to take it out to the table where they be put food . she then plug it in there , think it be just like any crockpot and would pick up where it leave off . unfortunately , it start to soak the partially cook rice ! this cooker have a lid that be attach , so it can not be remove to be wash in the dishwasher . you must clean it with a cloth every time you use it . there be a black steam catcher in the lid that must be remove and can be wash in the dishwasher . there be also a water catcher that catch water run down the lid when you open it . this also can be wash in the dishwasher . I really like the steam catcher feature because the other cooker I have allow the starchy steam to rise up onto my top cupboard . overall , this be a great rice cooker . it cook the rice perfectly -- whether you allow the crust to form at the bottom , or stir and stop the cook cycle just before this happen after the water be absorb . this cooker have outlast my other two , and it make the largest amount of the three , perfect for my large family or for dish-to-pass supper at church or anywhere else . I believe that if you purchase this cooker , know the fact I list above , you will be happy as I be . by the way , I purchase mine from target for $ 29.99 ! +679 RiceCooker NEG 1 return the rice cooker as there be no instruction include and when plug in it fail to heat . +856 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy this small rice cooker -lrb- yes , it be small -rrb- for the use for 1-2 people . I have use it several time , along with my roommate and decide to post a review . just a quick note -- it be not a true 3 cup as claim by the 1 star reviewer . cooking : just add the measure rice and water , and put the lid on . Easy , and it cook automatically and switch to warm mode automatically . set it and forget it . occasionally , its best to stir after it switch to warm mode to avoid small bit of browning -lrb- which really be not a problem for I -rrb- . the rice cook perfectly in about 25-30 minute . there be a include handy guide for various type of rice and even other thing you can cook . clean-up : this be nearly effortless thanks to the non-stick bowl . I have have no issue what-so-ever . recommendation : this rice cooker be small , so its wonderful for apartment or small space . a full size amount of rice and water make a hearty serve for 1 person . I usually have to put away left-over . it be wonderful for 2 people ! -lrb- so unless you be one of those people who can eat a big Mac , 20 Piece Nuggets , and a large fry in one sit , I would not recommend it for you . -rrb- love , love , love this little cooker : -rrb- +797 RiceCooker POS 5 I love the idea of be able to cook different type of rice . this rice cooker allow I to do just that , stress free -lrb- for the most part -rrb- . the most difficult thing be understand the direction . the cup be for measure the rice . the number on the inside of the pot be for measure the liquid . so if you cook one cup of rice , you pour the liquid -lrb- water , broth -rrb- up to number one inside the pot for the type of rice you be cooking . it would have be nice if it list several other types\/kinds of rice . all in all I be happy with my purchase . +738 RiceCooker POS 4 this rice cooker be super small . it make 3 cup cook but it be perfect size for a small apartment or dorm room . the rice turn out great and it be probably the cutest appliance I have ever see . it look like a happy little robot . +884 RiceCooker POS 5 I have never cook rice in my life before own this rice cooker . with this cooker , I have prepare great-tasting white rice -lrb- short-grain -rrb- , sticky rice -lrb- white , short-grain -rrb- , and brown rice -lrb- short-grain -rrb- . never once have I open the lid to find a single burnt grain . simply clean the rice as necessary , add the correct amount of water , and this cooker will always deliver . the cooker use a 24-hour clock which allow you to set a timer for practically a day in advance . around 5pm , I make rice for my meal for the next day . I set the timer for about 7am and always wake up to warm , well-cooked rice . I never finish all of the rice , so I leave it in the cooker whose `` keep-warm '' feature preserve the rice -lrb- as if it have just finish cooking -rrb- for up to 16 hour , so I can head out and come back to yet more well-cooked rice . although I make short-grain rice , this cooker can prepare all grain size , include more obscure thing like wheat and porridge . some people complain that cleaning be a hassle , but it be as easy as remove the cooking bowl and metal topper -lrb- which attach to the under-side of the lid -rrb- , give they a quick scrub-down , and then dry and replace they . the cooker can be program to memorize two timer setting , which be all one will really need for a routine basis . of course , any timer setting can be create , but only two can be save for `` quick access '' , if you will . the include instruction manual be in Japanese and English , and the English suffice well enough to get I cooking my first cup of rice with a brand new cooker . the digital display be clear and concise . as a perk , this cooker play one of several short tune when cooking begin and end -lrb- the noise can be turn off -rrb- . for the price , this cooker be well worth it for someone look for a long-lasting , reliable , durable cooker . +710 RiceCooker POS 5 this be the 2nd Zojirushi rice cooker I purchase ... the electronics in the system be good -lrb- programmable operation time -rrb- , the different feature offer be awesome ! ... a must have if you be a person with limited time to cook ... +473 RiceCooker NEG 2 why do they mention 20 cup of cook rice instead of 10 cup of rice ??? they sell 11 cooker at amazon by title of 10 cup & 20 cup ... they all produce 20 cup of cook rice . why not just categorize they all by 10 cup ? also I have not measure cook rice ... but very much doubt if it be 20 cup ! another problem be , we Indians normally cook rice , rice : water = 1:2 ratio . so the cooker only cook 6 3\/4 of uncooked rice . the cup be base on measurement of a tea cup -lrb- 6 fl oz -rrb- in Asia . so we Asians can cook only 6 3\/4 rice ! aroma be confuse the customer with all they model . the 10 cup model which produce 20 cup of cook rice selling at amazon be - arc-1010 sb , arc-960 sb , arc-940 sb , arc-930 sb , arc-900 sb , arc-150 sb , arc-1000 , arc-200 , arc-1260 f , arc-730 g , arc-790 sd-ing . +314 RiceCooker NEG 1 it be awfully slow . when I first purchase it , it be take 25 minute to cook 3 cup of rice . after 2-3 month , now it take more than 45 minute . I see something like a rust formation in the hot plate . I would not recommend this product to anyone . +699 RiceCooker POS 5 I love this rice cooker . it really do make the best rice I have ever have . I make white rice mostly , and it always come out all fluffy and perfectly moist . the pot 's thickness be really surprising , feel like a cast-iron pot cover in titanium ! -lrb- yes , the non-stick coating be some mix of titanium instead of teflon -rrb- +898 RiceCooker NEG 2 I be excite when we receive we new rice cooker . delivery be faster than I expect , and the first time we use it it work perfectly . the rice be delicious , cook perfectly , and the cooker be super easy to clean . there be just the right amount of rice for two people , and it switch automatically from ` cook ' to ` keep warm ' for convenience . unfortunately the next day , upon plug it in , we find that it simply do not turn on \* at all ! \* we try everything . different outlet , another plug , clean the cooker again , double check the instruction ... it simply do not work . this be a great little rice cooker for a cheap price , but be prepare to send it back if it suddenly die on you . = -lrb- +211 RiceCooker NEU 3 nice and compact . too much water drip from rid and you need to wipe it every time you open the warmer . older version of rice cooker\/warmer have little cup outside to receive warter but this one deposit warter around rim . Wish it have better way to receive escape warter . +435 RiceCooker NEG 1 this thing make very good rice . once . the second time I use it , it die . the light blink out and it stop heating . try other outlet and other troubleshoot idea . nothing work . it be a very inexpensive rice cooker and you get what you pay for . but that first and last bowl of rice turn out to be pretty expensive . +943 RiceCooker POS 4 it say 6 cup and i think it will be big . but it can take only 3 cup of rice and when the rice be cook , it will become 6 cup : - -rrb- I be very disappoint by the size , but other than that , it be a excellent product +604 RiceCooker POS 5 my wife see I online and ask I to write a review on this cooker . we have have it for about a month now and it be perform flawlessly . we use mostly white rice and it be always moist and fluffy . she have also make several pot of soup in it as well as a couple of roast . cleanup have be easy . we have not use the delay timer . it keep the rice edible for a long time . the cheap cooker it replace would not keep the rice warm properly and always leave a 1\/2 thick film on the bottom . she\/we highly recommend this . +858 RiceCooker NEG 1 aroma 16 cup stanless Rice cooker I be very unhappy & disappointed with the Stainless Rice cooker . the ouside body of the cooker which have a joint & that have split within one use . -lrb- it arrive on Nov 11th & after 1st use on Nov 29th I notice the damage -rrb- it would cost I $ 35 to send it back before jan31st . I be really disappointed & unhappy with the product . the outside body be wipe with a soft cloth & at that time I notice it . Mrs Hemady +185 RiceCooker POS 5 I love this rice cooker and have use it to cook western style white rice , brown rice , indian Basamati rice , Jasmine rice , and other asian rice , and even so-called `` Wild Rice '' and a few other and never have the burning problem other have note . sound like they be not use enough water . I do not usually need to stir it after boil start either . the glass cover make it easy to check on thing without removng the cover -lrb- and change the cooking cycle -rrb- ; it do not really seem to make much difference . it can not be beat for $ 15 and be perfect for one or two people . the con be that it do not have a timer and you must unplug it to stop the keep warm . you can scoop the rice out of the pot or easily remove the port though there be no handle on the pot so you need a couple pot holder to remove it . it shut itself off automatically if the pot we remove . cleanup could not be easier . the pot remove and wash up in soap and warm water . I have never have anything stick hard enough to require scour . of course , I always clean or fill with water in the sink after use it so it do not get a chance to glue itself to the pot . it also steam vegetable perfectly and , once again , the glass cover be a real plus . the cover fit well enough to keep the vapor in the pot . if you need more capacity , consider the 6 or 12 cup model but they have a metal cover . bottom line , the cooker be perfect for one or two people for all kind of rice and steam vegetable . +815 RiceCooker POS 5 this my first rice cooker so I have no previous experience or other product to compare this too . I recently purchase a bento box in order to take my lunch to work each day . the rice cooker have be for make about two day worth of rice at a time . as other have state , the rc3303 make three cup of COOKED rice , not uncooked . the unit be easy to clean and the cooking bowl be non-stick so it only require some soap and hot water . the instruction manual include a chart with information regard how much rice and water you need for each type of rice . I have be use sticky rice so far and have have no issue with burnt or undercooked rice , nor have I have any problem with water boil over . as long as you be look for a small rice cooker this should meet you need ! +195 RiceCooker POS 4 I have never purchase a Black & Decker rice cooker before . I usually buy Oster which be a durable \/ recognize brand , but I must say this be not a bad choice . it cook the rice very smoothly and it be definitely small -lrb- not exactly 3 cup - maybe 2.5 cup of uncooked rice -rrb- . the teflon be nice but you must take care of it when wash the pot and use the plastic paddle that come with it , otherwise it would peel very quickly . also , a little bit of oil and salt always help to prevent the rice from stick at the bottom of the pot . I give it 4 star for the size ... so far it seem to be work fine with no burnt-smell . +914 RiceCooker POS 5 this be the best rice cooker ive ever use . very easy to use and the rice be delicious . +608 RiceCooker POS 5 I be wary about buy a older product -lrb- judge by the age of some review -rrb- , but it turn out I have nothing to worry about . Rice be very easy to cook on paper , but a real pain to get right for the desire time . with this device I have yet to get it wrong . I be not sure why there be issue with the instruction , you do not need any if you be do simple rice . you basically have a small plastic beaker with number up the side , and a bigger pot that sit in the machine to do the cooking which have number on the inside . it seem pretty obvious there be related , so no need for a manual . my routine with regular jasmine and Basmati rice be to simply measure the amount of rice desire into the beaker , say up to the # 2 line , dump that into the pot . Wash it a few time , drain . fill this pot with water up to the same number I have on the beaker , and put that into the machine . Select white rice on the menu and press the big `` cooking '' button . when it beep it be tune , the rice be do . it do not matter whether it be ready well before everything else , the machine keep it warm without dry it out . the rice be the same standard as you 'll get in a Thai , indian or chinese take-away . I also use the fast cook option and the result be fine too . bloody marvelous ! the machine do a whole load of other grainy type thing too , but we 'll probably never use they . the cooking pot clean up very easily , unlike stainless steel pan on a stove : d I should add we cook with filtered water , fl water be ghastly , so all we drink and cook with it through a reverse osmosis filter under the kitchen sink . UPDATE : 20 month later , this be still work as expect . the internal pot do not show any sign of peel or deterioration . if only bread-maker work this well ! +975 RiceCooker NEG 2 pro : small footprint , proper capacity for two people , quick cooking function for those time where you be in a hurry . con : it do not store rice for more than 8-12 hour without the rice get yellowed . we have a huge , ancient , dented , simple Zojirushi before get the Sanyo that could hold the rice for at least two day before it yellowed . with the Sanyo , you would better refrigerate any leftovers immediately . after a year , the Sanyo fail to work . the last pot be a horrific rice paste with dry grain on the surface . overall : it have a lot of software bell and whistle that do not help it make proper rice and apparently detract from that core ability . but hey , I like to use it to make rice on a daily basis , so if you want to use it to cook frozen bread dough or non-sticky rice with olive oil , go ahead and buy into the review here . +143 RiceCooker POS 5 I have use many rice cooker over the year , and the best be make by Japan . this Sanyo make perfect rice and at a fair and reasonable price . it have great quality and be super simple to use . +487 RiceCooker POS 5 this appliance do only two thing -- it cook rice , and it cook irish oatmeal . it have a timer that let you prepare the oatmeal the night before so that it be ready when you get up in the morning , and it will keep it warm if you be late . same for the rice . but I do not think it be worth try to do anything else with it , like cook a entire meal in one pot . get a crock pot for that . one of my favorite thing about it be that it play a little tune when the rice or oatmeal be ready . quite cheery . +685 RiceCooker POS 5 all I could say for the first week after purchase this rice cooker be , `` why do I wait so long ? '' it be everything you could want in a rice cooker , and produce some of the best rice I have taste . it be amazingly easy to use . you put rice in , fill water accord to the guide that be imprint on the inner bowl , place the lid down , push the menu button to whichever type of rice you be make , and push the cooking button . I do not think it could be any easier than that . after the rice have cook for a certain time , a timer show up to inform you have how long be leave , and afterwards , a tune\/beep will sound and it automatically shift to a `` keep warm '' function . the rice can be keep in that function for up to 12 hour . the nonstick bowl prevent rice from sticking and I have never find a stuck or burnt piece of rice , unlike many other rice cooker I have see . the footprint be fairly small which make it ideal for a apartment or small family . even though the cup use be smaller than most american cup-measure , the 3-cup maximum capacity seem like enough after cook to feed 3-4 people as a side dish or 2 people as a full dish . the instruction tell you to only use a maximum of 2 cup of white rice , and for porridge , the maximum be only 1 cup , but again , it come out to be plenty to feed a small family . you can make white rice , brown rice , sushi , porridge , or even mix in other ingredient . the fuzzy logic algorithm adjust the temperature constantly , allow the rice to come out perfect each time . it may seem like a lot to spend on a rice cooker , but honestly , this be some of the best money I have spend in a long time . there be no regret here . +165 RiceCooker POS 4 my wife purchase this rice cooker in August of 2009 . within two week of purchase the cooker get stick in the `` keep warm '' mode somehow . we think it be because it be in keep warm mode and then we unplug it without turn it off first . we send it back to Amazon and get a replacement with no trouble at all . thanks , Amazon . we second cooker have be go strong since the end of August 2009 . it be super easy to clean and it always produce the best , most fluffy , steam pile of rice . it be a great machine . we have use it almost daily and it always do its job . it be now well over fifty dollar cheaper than what we buy it for in August 2009 . wow , price sure do come down . we have always turn the rice cooker off before unplug it . since do that we have never have it get stick in keep warm mode . this be a superb little machine and we would recommend it to anyone . +291 RiceCooker POS 4 this be a very nice rice cooker and a excellent value . unlike other rice cooker in the same price range , this cooker do as well with jasmine , calrose , basmatus and brown rice as it do with white rice . no one like mushy or crunchy rice , especially kitchen monkey boy . not a problem with this cooker . it be definitely not the same quality as the high end cooker , but hey , you do not pay $ 200 for it either . shut up and eat you nummy rice ! kitchen monkey boy give it 4 banana . +107 RiceCooker POS 5 i use this thing almost everyday . from jasmine to brown , calrose , and even sushi , this little marvel can cook any type of rice i can throw at it ! but it do not just stop at rice . i cook lentil , quinoa , and amaranth in here too ! it disassemble for easy cleaning and the stainless steel have look great in three different apartment . it look so good in fact , i sometimes carry it with I to special event like wedding and for some extra bling up in tha club . i receive this as a gift and it make I instantly fall deeply in love with the woman who give it to I . she and i be not together anymore ... but this rice cooker be still with I and i know that as long as i live , i would never part with it ! +562 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice maker prepare the best rice ever ! the timer option it have to be be able to start cooking at a certain time , or have it prepare for you by a certain time be a definite bonus ! the rice always come out fluffy and moist but not drench or super sticky , it be just perfect ! I get this as a gift for my boyfriend for Christmas and he be very picky about he rice and he rave about it and even change we meal plan sometimes just so we can cook rice in it ! I love it too though . definitely recommend this product ! +610 RiceCooker POS 5 I be asian cook rice almost everyday and this be a perfect rice cooker for I .

I use it constantly and would highly recommend it for the cook on the go ! I absolutely love it ! +90 RiceCooker NEG 1 in the begin this little rice cooker work very well and be exactly what I have be look for . for just two people it be the ideal size . I follow the instruction provide by B&D; , make sure that the insert be not whet on the bottom and sit level in the unit etc. but after about 10 use it stop work with no warning half way through cooking . the light go out and that be the end of it .

I have make 2 ` measure ' of raw rice and it be way too much for both of we ~ even though it be design for 3 cup -lrb- measure -rrb- I doubt we would ever make that much . we love the small size and have cook brown rice , jasmine and basmatus perfectly so far . we learn that if the warmer be leave on too long it will get a little browned on the bottom so we just unplug it and let it steam . I would give it 5 star , however it do ` spew ' as someone else write earlier and I have learn to put a paper towel under it to catch any mess . I do not know if that be because it be such a small size or if that be common with rice cooker in general . however , the unit be very easy to clean . I read that some cooker have a hinge , non-removable lid and I know I do not want that . for the price , this cooker be simple , efficient , take up very little space and a bargain ! +302 RiceCooker POS 5 this be a great rice cooker ! it be actually smaller than I think it would be too , which be a good thing ! my boyfriend and I have use it to make different amount of rice and typically will have pot sticker in the steamer basket . we have never have any problem with it spit up starchy mess everywhere . why ? because we rinse we rice ! you have to thoroughly rinse the starch off the rice or you 'll end up with gummy rice and a mess on you counter . if you rinse it till the water be just slightly cloudy-clear you 'll be just fine ! do not let the mixed review affect you decision on this really great rice cooker . it do it be job very well ! \*\* update 3\/22\/12 \*\* this rice cooker still work amazing . we use it about once a month or so and still have have zero problem . as another reviewer say - the bottom of the rice do get a little brown , but it really be tasty ! we love this product . +118 RiceCooker POS 5 I be glad I take a chance this time . we love this little rice cooker . make perfect rice each time just like the local restaurant .

I count the date and find this cooker work for only 18 day , which sound like a joke . I would suggest pay more and gete a better quality one . Black & Decker RC3303 3-Cup Rice Cooker +489 RiceCooker POS 4 it be a great rice maker - make good rice without effort . my only cause not to give it 5 star be that it take a long time to make the rice - approximately 2-3 time longer than my old cheapo rice cooker . BUT the rice it do make be way better . I especially enjoy the timer function so I can wake up to freshly make rice or oatmeal in the morning . I would say that it be definately worth the money so far . +642 RiceCooker POS 4 well , the price of this , be not that high , that be maybe why it be a little hard to cook good rice . and it do its job to steam all the vegetable . good . +588 RiceCooker POS 5 buy two of these , one for myself , one for my sister . have to wait over a month to receive the item , but it be worth the wait . my mother currently have one and she love it . the black color must be very popular since the white one be always in stock . have not use the bread make function and probably will not . the pot use thicker metal and I have not see any scorching of the rice that you can find on many other , cheaper , rice cooker . this item do cost more than you average rice cooker but it make a great pot of rice . +601 RiceCooker POS 5 just back from a month long trip to Japan and love the convenience of use the rice cooker that be in all the apartment I stay at . I decide it be a must have and buy this item base on the great review it receive . I be absolutely thrill with this rice cooker . it really be just so simple to use & the rice quality be great each time . I have to admit that I have not try use the `` fast cook '' feature so can not comment on that . if you have a small family & do not need to regularly cook more than 2 cup of rice , this should do the trick . +657 RiceCooker NEG 1 the size be right for two people but the rice cooker do not work properly . either rice come out burnt on the bottom after I wash the rice a couple of time per instruction or the rice be soggy at the bottom . feature be like a regular rice maker so very disappointing it do not work . +199 RiceCooker NEG 1 worst I have ever have . I know its cheap so my expectation be low but when it overflow even when u make a small amount of rice and it stick to the bottom be just ridiculous . and then the rice be souplike and inedible even though i do what the direction say . +702 RiceCooker NEG 1 it be not good . when i be cooking rice in that . at the bottom , rice be become brown . +998 RiceCooker POS 4 I receive this cooker on time . I use it occasionally ; but it be be only about a month . the top need a little press to close completely . other than that , the cooker work great for a small family . I have to remember to unplug , or the rice turn yellow . +632 RiceCooker POS 5 recently upgrade . be happy with the last product from the same company . the first thing that strike I be how attractive this product be . very high-tech look and easy to use -lrb- after a couple review of the manual and some practice -rrb- it really have alot of function you would not expect on other rice cooker . the slow cooking function do a good job on soup too . overall i be very satisfied +329 RiceCooker NEG 1 this rice cooker advertise it be a 3 cup cooker , which be what I want , but no where in the descriptipn do it mention that it cook ony 2 cup of WHITE rice , which be what I always use . it be hardly worth the effort & $ $ $ to cook 2 cup of rice , in a 3 cup cooker I might add . I find this out when read the instruction that come with the product , but not from the Amazon description . I think this be deceptive & should be add to the online description . +242 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker be the greatest contraption I have ever own . the many feature , especially the timer setting , make it convenient and easy for I to put the ingredient in before I leave for work and have they ready when I walk in the door . the cooking pot be non-stick , so it be extremely easy to clean . the rice cooker be easy to use , which be great , because we use it about 3 time a week ! +756 RiceCooker POS 5 I have be use the Zojirushi 3-Cup rice cooker for nearly one month and could not be more happy with it . the quality of the machine be excellent . I be a excellent cook but have never be able to make rice on the stove top that be as perfectly cook . I originally purchase this machine for the convenience factor . after burn my rice several time recently because I be multi-tasking and not watch closely enough , I decide to purchase a rice cooker so that I could set it and leave . the timer be a add bonus , especially for make steel cut oatmeal for breakfast . just set the timer and it be ready when you wake up . it be a little more expensive than other model , but the quality of the machine make it a good value . +156 RiceCooker POS 5 sorry for the trite title but this be go to be a very useful product -- not like a juicer I buy last year and can not even find now . it be easy to use and make some of the best rice I have ever taste . honest . it also steam veggy and make tofu . I make a cup at a time and sometimes eat the whole thing at one sit . more often however be I snack on it over the course of the 12 hour warming cycle . +534 RiceCooker POS 5 this be the perfect size rice cooker for my husband and I . fit on my available counter space -lrb- I probably have every small appliance know to man -rrb- . i love steel cut oats but hate the time to cook in the morning . I set this up the night before on brown rice setting and my oatmeal be ready in the be . cook great rice also . +965 RiceCooker POS 5 have be raise on japanese food my whole life I be a stickler when it come to good quality white rice that be cook to perfection . I can always tell the difference between good rice and cheap rice and whether or not its be cook properly . also since I have get older , I have grow to love brown rice . my old el-cheapo rice cooker would almost always under cook my white rice , and brown rice would make a huge mess all over the counter . I have be eye one of these fuzzy logic cooker for a long time . I finally take the plunge and buy one last week . I love this little high-tech appliance ! a few tip to those who want to experience amazing japanese style white rice : 1 . buy this or a similar `` fuzzy logic '' rice cooker . you can not go wrong with Zojirushi , they be a very reputable and well known brand in Japan . 2 . when it come to rice , buy the good stuff at you asian market . you can tell by the price of a bag . the good stuff usually cost almost twice as much as the cheaper rice . Tamaki Gold -lrb- -lrb- ... -rrb- -rrb- be a good one . 3 . the quality of the water you cook the rice in be very important . I use tap water to rinse my rice , then cook it in filter or bottled water , it make a huge difference . 4 . follow the direction that come with you rice cooker . be sure to measure the rice and water amount correctly . enjoy ! +664 RiceCooker POS 5 I have use many rice cooker before so i know a good one when i see it . it be a excellent choice for people who do not want to cook a huge quantity of rice at one set or for those who want to eat fresh cook rice every day . it have a warm setting to keep the cook rice warm as long as it be plug in , a excellent feature . at this price , this product can not be beat . +335 RiceCooker POS 5 my wife and I use this to make rice for sushi because we want something to cook the rice without have to watch it . we follow the direction in the manual and the rice come out much better than expect . it be fluffy and not watery at all like what can happen when cook in a pot . we love this rice cooker and highly recommend it . it be extremely easy to use and we too buy it at target . +432 RiceCooker POS 5 this be a great machine . Easy to use ; easy to clean , small and light-weight , etc. . I almost buy a different machine that I see at a local store , because the brand be familiar and the machine be attactive . however , after do a little research , I choose this rice cooker , and I be very glad that I take the time to shop a bit before spend my money . +807 RiceCooker POS 5 this be package very nicely , and do not take long to arrive . I try it out today and everything be really good ! I steam food and cook rice at the same time , and love it ! Great for the price ! +713 RiceCooker NEG 1 the zo ' be a competent rice cooker . it be easy to make good rice , just fill with water , drop in the rice , select the type of rice you be cooking and hit the ` cooker ' button . time cooking , the type we do most often , be just as easy and only require one more step . the bowl be cast aluminum with a thick coating of teflon , both inside and out , that will most likely last for year . the marking inside the bowl be easy to read in contrast white and they be raise which make they very easy to see and use . I think the retract cord and spoon holder be just gimmick but they be both handy addition to the cooker . it clean easily too . the top just pop out and the bowl be a cinch to wash , no different then any small pot and there be no need for a external steam cup to catch any overflow like on many other cooker . we buy grain in bulk and rice too . I like the organic short grain brown rice and it cook perfectly but I do have to play with the water to rice ratio just a bit which I think be normal . it only take about two or three try to get rice just the way we like it . I do not like the display , you have to stand back to see it clearly . they should have use one with a better field of view , you can buy a $ 5.00 clock that be easier to read . also the rice take a long time to cook , over a hour and a half for some type of rice . we do not eat white rice so you may find that you can use the quick cook set for a shorter cooking time . I do not have another cooker to compare the fuzzy logic to so I can not say how effective it be over a non fuzzy logic cooker but it do make very good rice consistently . the price be comparatively high but I think the quality be there . the cooker be make in China but I would say under strict supervision from Zojirushi as the fit and finish be excellent and the cooker have a quality look to it . UPDATE : I originally give the Zo 4 star . after own this for over a year and many rice cooking session the teflon on the top half of the bowl start to come of easily with slight rubbing . I have never use harsh chemical or abrasive on the bowl but I think the problem lie in the fact that I make mostly one cup at a time and the top half get hotter than the rest of the bowl where the coating be still well attach . I can not use this cooker anymore . I send a email to Zo ask if they make a stainless bowl , they do not . on the matter of my teflon flake off they have no answer nor do they off to examine or exchange it ... Caveta Emptor . +264 RiceCooker POS 5 really like the timer feature , which let you set the finishing time . Perfect right on time , every time . not sure if cheaper model do the same job , but I can definitely say that this one do it very well , and I be very satisfied . +742 RiceCooker POS 4 I use this a few time and it be just too much trouble for I . I would just as well cook the rice on the stove top . one thing it do make a nice fluffy rice , but I be part itaian and I love my mil 's rice dish and it have to be wet so I can not always use this cooker , as I have to keep it wet and keep stir . so just for I it be not the best choice . I give it 4 star since I do not want to punish the product because it do do a dish that be not promise . it really do make a good rice . +350 RiceCooker POS 5 I love this rice cooker . it will be the first one I have own and come from a college student it be a perfect choice give the size and ease of cooking . the only problem I find have nothing to do with the actual product . this cooker be really only enough for about three people -lrb- with no leftovers -rrb- . usually I will still attempt to make a lot of rice for myself , sometimes for a few other , and still have leftovers . I have overfil -lrb- so much so that the lid be lift by the rice -rrb- this thing to make at least 4 cup . it be barely any mess even then and only have to be wipe down . it will not splatter if you do not overfill it . I have yet to clean the inside under the removable bowl since nothing make its way past the bowl or lid . the product be well worth 5 star . -lrb- if you do not think so keep in mind the price . -rrb- +456 RiceCooker NEG 2 the product quality be good . but it be a very small rice cooker . for people with a family of more than two and eat rice regularly , it be not enough . +924 RiceCooker POS 5 I have be use aroma arc-1266f Rice Cooker for about 3 month . it work pretty well . my wife also like the nice-looking style . +792 RiceCooker POS 5 this make perfect rice for one person , serve . love basmatus & saffron , and with this it turn out as good as I have have . Easy to clean , with hand wash . have no complaint with the machine , but the instruction could be better write . +931 RiceCooker POS 4 purchase 4 year ago , use 2 - 3 time per week , and it be still work great . no broken part . use for white rice , brown rice and packet rice equally successfully . add a little extra water and a drop of olive oil help with any stick to the bottom . Easy to clean up . I would buy this model again -lrb- if I have to replace this one -rrb- . +468 RiceCooker NEG 1 use it to cook oatmeal and rice - nice convenient size - break after 3 week - shoddy quality control - cant recommend +971 RiceCooker POS 5 this cooker be purchase about a month ago specifically for cooking brown rice . I typically cook a pot of brown rice each week . I have use it 3 or 4 time so far . it do a great job cooking brown rice , far better than when it be cook in a pot on the stove . less water be use than with stove top cooking . the rice come out more consistently `` fluffy '' and more evenly cook . I be experiment a little with the exact amount of water to use and think I will wind up use a little more than be recommend in the recipe supply with the cooker . the cooker be easy to use , just add the rice and water to the pot , plug it in , push one button , and come back about 90 minute later . the cooker switch to the warm setting when the rice be do . so , its not a problem if you be a little late get back to the cooker . clean up be easy . there be a thin `` sticky '' layer on the bottom of the no-stick cooking pot after the rice be remove . but , it come out easily with a little soak . all in all this be a great cooker . +495 RiceCooker NEG 1 I return this about 5 minute after open because of the cheap feeling of the button and the just overall terrible quality of this product . do not buy ! +463 RiceCooker NEG 1 these rice cooker with separate lid should be avoid . the moisture do not get trap so all the steam leak out which cause the rice to burn at the bottom and raw at the top . my mom have a Tiger rice cooker that have a attach lid that trap in the moisture , cook perfect rice everytime , do not stick , and keep warm for day . this one ? can not do any of that . +621 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker work great . the non-stick coating really work . Cleaning be very easy . the rice cooker I be replace be not coated and be harder to clean +110 RiceCooker NEU 3 I expect it to be a little bigger than it be . but it work great . no problem so far . Hope it will last long . +154 RiceCooker POS 5 I love this rice cooker ! I receive this product as a gift and it stay in its box for month . I have never use a rice cooker before , finally I open it , and it now have a permanent spot on my countertop . you can cook whole meal use the steam tray on top ! I have since purchase two as gift ! +93 RiceCooker POS 5 this look to be of higher quality than the last one i buy somewhere else and at a cheaper price i also would like to thank the seller for a fast shipment +357 RiceCooker POS 5 I have only use this aroma arc 8 cup rice cooker a few time , but I love . I eat rice much at least once a week now . I be tear to spend a lot of a fancy machine or try this , and I be glad I do . no bubble over , easy to clean , and rice be cook nicely . I use the instruction from the machine -lrb- not the bag -rrb- and the rice have come out great . however , I do rinse the rice first . I have not leave rice on the warm set more than 45 minute after cooking so I have no experience with it burn . I highly recommend . +50 RiceCooker NEG 1 con : - take forever to cook you rice . - Poor build quality . - very flimsy . - brand new unit be really dent when bring home and take out of the box . - literally fall apart . pro : - it be cheap . +929 RiceCooker POS 5 I have have mine several month now and I be very pleased with it ! we be a small family and I be able to cook the amount I need with this cooker . I be worry that I be spend too much for it but now I be glad I spend the extra money for this brand\/model . I want to cook oatmeal in it and it do the steelcut oats very well . the only problem we have be that my husband want plain oats and I keep add thing like fresh blueberry and vanilla when I start it . we do agree on the rice . we favorite at the moment be Bhutan red rice . Cook on brown rice setting and enjoy ! be sure to check you setting EVERY TIME and do not lose you measure cup . I measure the measure cup but I forget to write it down in my receipe book . I need to do that before I lose the cup . highly recommend . PS ... have anyone cook bean with rice in it yet ?? +547 RiceCooker POS 5 I own two rice cooker . one be a fuzzy logic 5.5 cup Panasonic that work very well . I also want a on\/off\/warm larger -lrb- 8-cup -rrb- rice cooker so I could make the recipe from the Cajun rice cooker cookbook . I can highly recommend this aroma rice cooker , it do everything you would want it to and for a great price ! also come with a nice plastic vegetable steamer tray . +448 RiceCooker POS 4 it be durable and cook very good rice . it be very easy to care . however it do not cook fine congee and I be a congee lover . +1 RiceCooker POS 5 the cooker work rather well . I think because it be so cheap that it might not work well . it do the job and it be easy clean up because the lid and the rice pan come right off . some cooker have the lid attach and they be more difficult to clean . +35 RiceCooker POS 5 I get this primarily to make hot oatmeal use the timer feature so it be ready first thing in the A.M. . it work great for that . oh , and it also make rice ! I have a large rice cooker already , but find I really need one suit to smaller batch most of the time and this be perfect . +424 RiceCooker POS 5 the japanese company get it right with this model . Rice be perfectly cook , as be Scotch oats , and anything else I have put in here . I make black rice -lrb- try it cook with chicken stock instead of water , and put some butter on it before eat - wow ! -rrb- yesterday , and snack on it all day while it stay perfect on the ` warm ' setting . this be a find , and a keeper . I have have mine almost 3.5 year ! +100 RiceCooker POS 4 I read all the review for this model and decide to give it a try . at $ 14.00 , it be not a big investment . I buy it because it could make a small quantity of rice , and it could cook brown rice . however , my first use be with the max amount -lrb- `` 3 measure '' -rrb- of Texmati -lrb- basmatus -rrb- rice . I incorporate some of the suggestion I read in the review . first , I place the cooker on a terrycloth towel . the measure cup that come with the unit do not look like the one picture in the manual . it have no marking on it except a grooved line about 1\/4 inch down from the top . since I read it be suppose to measure 2\/3 cup , I do use my own measuring cup to confirm . two-third of a cup fill it to that line , not the top . I carefully measure `` 3 measure '' of rice , dump the rice in the cooker , and then fill it with water to the 3 cup line inside the cooking pot . that be what the direction say to do and it would make a difference in the amount of water if you do these step in reverse . turn it on and then check it at 20 minute . the water be boil and it be sputter through the vent hole in the lid . the rice\/water mixture be foam and get very close to the top of the pot . base on a review suggestion , I give the mixture a quick stir . that immediately stop the sputtering and foam and the cooking process continue uneventfully until it finish cooking and automatically switch to warm . again base on a suggestion , I unplug the cooker and wait the 15 minute -lrb- actually 20 minute -rrb- before I serve it . the rice be firm but cook and slightly brown on the very bottom but still usable . taste good ! I get 7 serving , each cover 2\/3 of a dinner plate when rice be `` flatten out . '' I clean the cooking pot by hand -lrb- extremely easy to clean -rrb- and put the glass lid in the dishwasher with no problem . after one use , I like it ! +450 RiceCooker POS 4 this be a compact version of the typical rice cooker . it do a decent enough job and it be big enough to feed 4 people . the only thing miss be the ability to produce tahdig . Tahdig literally mean the `` bottom of the pot '' in persian language and it represent the crunchy rice produce at the bottom of the pot by allow the rice to cook a extra few -lrb- typically 10 -rrb- minute . it really add a wonderful tasty crust . +571 RiceCooker POS 4 I use two other type of rice cooker before buy this one . the problem with the first two be rice burning and stick to the bottom of the pan . it be really annoying . this one be much better , the rice be cook softer , taste better . and the price cheaper than the one I buy before , which I be skeptical at first . mom say expensive one should work better , nah ... +168 RiceCooker NEG 1 this product stop work for just one month of cooking . this product stop work for just one month of cooking . this product stop work for just one month of cooking . this product stop work for just one month of cooking . +717 RiceCooker POS 5 for the past few year , I have be use a cheap `` off-on '' rice cooker . though I love have properly cook rice , I hate have it boil over every time I use it . I buy THIS rice cooker with the understanding that it would do a good job of cooking rice -lrb- and other whole grain , porridge , polenta , and a lot more -rrb- , while not boil over . all of this be true , only the rice be cook even better with this rice cooker . I live at 6200 foot above sea level . this mean that water boil at 195 degree F. , instead of 212 F. , which be the sea-level boiling point . I know this matter in bake , but it never occur to I that this could matter in a small appliance . well , it matter very much for a `` off-on '' rice cooker , which bring the water in it to a sea-level boiling point to cook the rice . this result in large starchy puddle all over my counter . the `` fuzzy logic '' in this machine work differently . it keep track of how the rice be do , not how the water be do , and as a result , it never boil over . I also learn that this cooker have multiple setting , which allow it to cook white , sushi , and brown rice differently , and also to cook porridge and other grain . the day i receive this package , I make both white and brown basmatus rice , and both be great . I also use the pot to make dhal , and it be fabulous . since , I have cook red wheat berry , and they turn out super , even without a pre-soak . base on this trial , I would recommend this cooker , especially to those who live at higher elevation and want a no-muss , no-fuss rice cooker . I would add , however , that the instruction book that come with the rice cooker be minimalistic . to understand a rice cooker 's versatility , I would recommend also order the Ultimate Rice Cooker cookbook - rev : 250 No-Fail Recipes for Pilafs , Risottos , Polenta , Chilis , Soups , Porridges , Puddings , and more , fro +875 RiceCooker POS 5 this be a good rice cooker and be be a good value . it be very affordable . there be a few thing I do not like about it . 1 . it spit a lot of water out of the steam hole and kind of make a mess . I have to put a big dish towel in front of the cooker so it do not make a mess . but from what I understand that be the way most rice cooker be . the second thing I do not like be when I fill the rice cooker to full capacity the rice turn out perfect but if I cook a batch that be anything less then full capacity the rice come out a tad under cook . it should not be a problem if you cook a lot of rice for a family . over all a very good little cooker . +396 RiceCooker POS 5 Rice be something that be make at least once a week in my household . previous to purchase the Sanyo ecj-hc55 rice cooker , I have a simple Oster rice cooker that do a adequate job . it only have a toggle switch that cook the rice . it make pretty good white and brown rice , but there be also some issue with it . the bowl be lightweight and the non-stick coating be flake off . also , when the unit signal that the rice be cook , the top would be fine , but the bottom would be crusty and almost burnt and stick to the bottom . I finally get feed up and start look on Amazon for a replacement . I be pretty set on pick a Zojirushi model from all of the positive review I read on not only Amazon but other website as well . as I be browse , this Sanyo model catch my eye . it look pretty sleek with its metal face and top while the rest of the body be white . after read the review for it and compare the feature in a similarly price Zojirushi model , I decide to take the plunge and pick up the Sanyo . what a amazing little machine . the construction be solid , the bowl for the rice be heavy and well make . the unit have all kind of setting for the various type of rice . in addition , the unit come with another lid insert and another bowl to do slow cooking in the unit . it also come with a plastic insert that state it be for make tofu . not sure if I will ever use that , but I do like that I have the option . the rice it make be perfect , be not too mushy or too firm . the rice do not stick to the bottom of the bowl at all . it be just simply the best rice I ever make . as soon as the rice finish cooking , it switch over to a warming mode that state it can keep the rice warm for 12 hour . in addition , the rice can be place in the bowl with water in the morning and a timer set so that you have cook rice when you return from work . while the unit do chime when the rice be cook so that I be alert , when start the cycle , it do not give a estimate of the amount of time that it take to cook . however , that one minor drawback would not stop I from recommend this unit to anyone else look for a affordable unit to make perfect rice . +550 RiceCooker NEU 3 besides be a rice cooker , this unit be also a vegetable steamer , which be what I primarily use it for . it be very slow to heat up . about 10 min before it actually start steam vegetable . much slower than the previous steamer I have which be almost instantly in action . the slowness really force you to plan you meal differently . +893 RiceCooker POS 5 just right for the two of we . Works well and have comprehensive and easily read instruction . we use it often and have have no problem with it . great product . +927 RiceCooker POS 5 this be nice rice cooker , especially for one person . I have have this rice cooker for 3 year now and it be such a time saver . I put in 1 cup of brown rice and 2.5 cup of water and press down on the `` on '' button and leave it . it be so simple ; now I do not to worry about burn my rice . if you have rice `` stick '' on this , try add a 1\/4 cup more water . that should do the trick . -lrb- note : if you use white rice , the ratio 1 cup rice to 2 cup water . -rrb- it also have a nice steamer , so you can steam vegetable at the same time . it have a small `` footprint '' so it do not take up a lot of room . it do the job and be inexpensive . one thing I do notice be the power cord length be on the short side , but I be very satisfied . +553 RiceCooker POS 4 receive my rc3303 today , follow the instruction to the letter , and end up with a full pot of perfectly cook long grain white rice . very pleased . +973 RiceCooker POS 4 this thing be so simple to use and so dependable in it be performance that without much effort , I have become the RICE star of we household . I just cook the rice with a dissolve chicken bullion cube , a slice up green onion and my wife think I know what I be do . follow the instruction and you get perfect , delicious rice every time . I would have give the unit a 5 except it lack a automatic turn off or a manual off switch which mean I have to unplug it . not much of a big deal for `` rice of perfection '' . I be just crazy about this rice cooker . +138 RiceCooker NEU 3 it work fine except that the rice on the bottom of the insert bowl get overcooked\/burned . nothing I have do prevent it . when the light for the cooking cycle go out , I have be right there to get out the rice and it be still burn . I have try shut it off earlier in the cycle but that be hard to figure out because different rice take different time to cook . besides , I do not want to have to do that - that be why I buy a rice cooker . sometimes the rice water boil over . that be a mess . I think it have to do with the type of rice and if you be make 3 cup . another negative point be that there be a little cup that come with the cooker that you be suppose to use to measure rice . make a mental note that it be a 2\/3 cup measurement . if you lose the little cup -lrb- which be likely to happen in we home -rrb- you 'll still be able to use the machine . the rice that be not burn be great . Rice be nice and firm . machine easy to use . +409 RiceCooker POS 4 this rice cooker work very well . the only trick be to make sure you use the supply cup to measure the rice -- it be not a full US 8oz measure . however , you may still want to use a bit less water than the pot indicate to obtain firmer rice -- that be we preference anyway . we find ourselves eat more rice than before -lrb- use to cook in a pot -rrb- , as it all come out plump and not too sticky . now , we be experiment with mixed brown and white to compensate for the increase . the control be simple enough , although the direction be not as clear which line to use for water . it be all easy to figure out , though . +471 RiceCooker POS 4 first time work great ! need to adjust the water depend on the type of rice . Easy to do and great to have rice soooo easy . +689 RiceCooker NEG 1 I buy this specifically because I want a small rice cooker for make enough for 1 or 2 people . its perfect for that . I have to laugh at the review that complain how small it be and it wont hold 6 cup of rice . well duh ! it be clearly indicate on Amazon 's site : `` hold 3-cup of cook rice , 1-1\/2 cup of uncooked rice . measure approximately 7-1\/2 by 7-1\/2 by 6-3\/5 inch '' . what else do you need to know ? now , the reason I give it only 1 star be because it scorch the rice on the bottom of the pot every time I use it . I have try at least 8 different kind of rice , with butter , without butter , every possible way and it burn it every single time . the only way around this be to watch it and unplug it when it get close to be do . that kind of defeat the purpose of have a rice cooker where you should be able to load it up , turn in on and not mess with it until its do . +982 RiceCooker POS 4 I have one of those cheap rice cooker I get at target and the rice be never consistent . I invest in this rice cooker and I have try , white -lrb- jasmine -rrb- , brown , and wild and have get great result each time . my only complaint be similar to other . the instruction manual give really no concrete information on how to measure you rice and water . even when I think I add to much or too little water , the rice have turn out . the cooker be easy to clean and easy to transport to various counter . overall , I be glad I make the investment . +896 RiceCooker NEU 3 the cooker look ok but the switch only stay in warm mode , so I have to return it without use . and it only have a simple stainless steel steam rack instead of the big aluminum steamer show in the picture . +63 RiceCooker NEU 3 I have cook rice in the more higher end cooker so I lower my expectation for this one . however , I try cook brown rice and add 1.5 cup of water for every 1 cup of brown rice . I make 2 cup of brown rice with around 2.5 cup of water and the bubble water spill through the sprout and all over the cooker and counter . it happen twice and I lower the water content accord . because it spill , I also realize how annoying it be to clean . I have to periodically open the lid when I cook brown rice so it do not bubble over . I be disappointed with the rice container since my rice stick every time I cook . it create this stone pot rice effect that be rather annoying . if this be the case , I would prefer a non-stick rice container so I be not ingest teflon that do not even prevent my rice from sticking . however , for around thirty buck it be pretty cheap . the flower have that cheesy , vintage feel that be so cool with the urban outfitter kid . I probably would not buy this again but I think it might be better for make white rice see as how white rice require less water than brown rice . +510 RiceCooker POS 5 this be the perfect rice cooker . I love its tiny size -lrb- its footprint be just a little larger than a gallon of Crystal Geiser water -rrb- , the ease of use , the nifty retractable cord , and the timer -- oh the timer ! what a wonderful invention . make dinner so much easier to plan . the only complaint I have be that it be MUCH too small for we little family -lrb- I , my husband , and we 18-month-old baby -rrb- . other reviewer have say it be perfect for a small family . not so for we . maybe it be because we eat more rice than the average `` small '' family , but after one use , it be quite apparent that we will be sell we gently use one and buy the 5.5 cup version . we eat both brown and white rice , but I have only cook white rice so far . prospective buyer should know that the max capacity for white rice be only two cup -lrb- not the full capacity of three cup -rrb- . not sure why . all I know be that `` for best result , '' the instruction recommend not cook any more than 2 cup of white rice . Hope this help . other than the size not work for we , this cooker be great . +615 RiceCooker POS 5 we own it for 10 month . no problem at all . the cooking size be good for 2-5 people . we like the slow cooking function and programmable timer function . the only comment be that the timer function can not be use in slow cooking . we feel a little bit inconvenient . if you want to make good rice from it , just follow the manual and cook book . you would better use the rice species from Asia to get authentic asian style rice , by the way . I be very satisfied with the manufacture quality of this one -lrb- but certainly it be make in China -rrb- . +996 RiceCooker NEG 1 Perfect for one person meal , convenient and easy to use . but after two week , it just stop work with no reason at all . light can not be turn on no matter connect to power or not , just have to return it . +531 RiceCooker POS 4 buy this rice cooker as it look like it would do everything I require it to do and be a good price . unfortunately I have not be able to use it as the voltage be completely different in the UK , so I may need to return it or try to sell it throught Amazon . it be deliver within 6 day which be great . +277 RiceCooker POS 5 Easy to use menu and high quality finish : this be a excellent rice cooker . it work as describe in the manual and produce cook rice , better than we expect . so far so reliable . I have use Sanyo product in the past and find very reliable . I expect this also should be the same -lrb- still use a couple of week -rrb- . one thought : why dont they manufacture `` similar '' rc with Stainless Steel cooking pot -lrb- I do not find any -lrb- similar -rrb- cooker with ss pot -lrb- not the outer cover -rrb- . -rrb- . +536 RiceCooker POS 5 I be very pleased with this product . I do all that I need . Great for one person and the rice be perferctly cook +752 RiceCooker POS 4 this be a great little rice cooker . I carefully read the review before buy it so I know what to expect . it be not perfect but it do a fine job as long as you remember what it be . its sort of like a small coffee maker , great but have its limit . I make a pot of brown basmatus rice . the recipe book be pretty accurate on how to cook brown rice . sometimes those book be not as comprehensive as you might like . at the last minute , I add some veggy and let they cook in the steamer . the result be a nice ` fry rice ' without the fat and soy sauce ! yummy I add some cook organic chicken to the mix once it be out of the pot and have a great dinner . I would recommend this little cooker if you be a single person and do not want giant pot of rice . +246 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker do everything you can ask for . it steam the rice perfect all while steam veggy or whatever else you can throw at it . we have be use it all the time and love it . +688 RiceCooker POS 5 my old Panasonic rick Cooker break down after 5 year , back than , that rick cooker cost I more than $ 50 to buy . now when I come to buy it at Amazon.com I do not expect to pay much less and can get the same function , even the look be the same . I be very happy and hope this one will last . +506 RiceCooker POS 5 have grow up with a one-button rice cooker , I be look for a more sophisticated multi-functional rice cooker and find it in the Sanyo ecj-hc55 . I use it regularly for white rice and brown rice . the timer functionality make cooking rice a breeze . Rice come out consistently perfect every time . meal planning be not a issue since I can set the timer to cook the rice just before I get home . no more wait around for the rice to be ready ! what I really love about this device be its slow cooker functionality . bean , lentil and beef stew all come out tender and tasty with minimal work . the only feedback I have about it be that the instruction manual have very little on the slow cooker functionality and minimal guideline on how much liquid to add , as well as which setting should be use -lrb- high\/low-temperature slow cooking -rrb- for what item . I have have my device for 6 month and have no complain so far . clean and cooking be a breeze ! +398 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker\/steamer be a excellent buy . could not ask for more at this price . fast and easy - love it - smile +161 RiceCooker POS 5 buy this rice cooker a few week ago and it be exactly what I need . I can cook 4 cup of rice -lrb- uncooked -rrb- , which feed about 4-5 people . it cook in about 30 minute and it be super reliable and easy to use . I also love the Stainless Steel look . a lot of rice cooker do not offer that . +947 RiceCooker POS 4 Works as promise , and all the review basically sum it up well ! it do burn a small patch of rice at the bottom if you do not stir it while it cook , but I do not mind that too much . it cook fast , cook well , and the steamer have be a godsend ! I absolutely love it ! Perfect for one person , and adequate for two : -rrb- +413 RiceCooker NEG 1 I use to have one rice cooker from Black & Decker and it work very well . so I decide to buy another one . this one be so small and besides , it break down after two month . I smell something burnt and the light be off , so we unplug it . it never work again . though the price be low , you get what you pay for . +457 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy this cooker specifically to cook steel cut oats for breakfast at least 5 time a week . when I work from home , I just do not want to delay start work in order to pay attention to a oatmeal pot on the stove for 20-30 min . plus clean a oatmeal pot that have be sit be a dreadful chore . I have try use a 10 cup rice cooker with no porridge setting and though it work , it be also bit of a mess inside the cooker . after read review of thie Zojirushi 3 cup cooker , I decide to spend the buck to try it . for I , it be worth every penny . I use the porridge setting and have determine 1\/2 cup steel cut oats with 1-1\/2 cup water end up with the oatmeal consistency I prefer . exact ratio may vary to taste . I start the cooker just before I grab my 1st cup of coffee and about a hour later , the cooker play a little tune to let I know it be do cooking . add brown sugar & dry fruit and my healthy , tastey breakfast be ready . the warm feature be fabulous - I depend on it when I can not break from work immediately . I be surprise to discover it take a hour -lrb- plus or minus -rrb- to cook the oats - exactly what the user guide say in its recipe for porridge . once I learn the timing , it have be no problem at all . finally , clean up be truly a breeze . no matter how long I let thing sit , a little soapy hot water be all that be need . no soak require . and one of these day I 'll even try cooking rice with it : - -rrb- +963 RiceCooker POS 4 this rice cooker will spray a little , but no more than any other rice cooker . that be why they all have the little vent hole in the lid . and it be true this rice cooker be little . I think other reviewer be exaggerate but they be not . it be the smallest rice cooker I have ever see . I be a big guy and I eat rice almost every day . this rice cooker be more than large enough to cook enough rice for any meal I would ever cook , when I be eat by myself or with another person . if you plan to have the extended family over for a rice dinner you will need a much larger cooker . but if you be cook for yourself and another person this be just fine . I always hate have a big old rice cooker to cook a single cup of rice and this meet my need wonderfully . it be small , inexpensive , solidly build , and cook rice perfect every time . +80 RiceCooker POS 4 come from a chinese family , this rice cooker do the job right . Rice be cook in 20 min , vs 45 min , a record -lrb- long -rrb- time hold by the Sanyo rice cooker I use to own . the plastic steam basket , give the size of the rice cooker , be small . it be good for 3-4 bun . the only point that keep I from rating it 5 star , be the top lid , which be hard to clean . +247 RiceCooker POS 5 retractable cord be a plus . Easy to use and clean . very high build quality . Extra pan and lid liner , steamer tray include . I have mainly use this for rice and soft-boiled egg . I like be able to load rice in the morning and have hot rice ready when I get home from work . need to use the second pan and try some of the recipe in the cookbook . the excellent quality of this unit and the result with the rice , would probably push I purchase the Sanyo ecj-px50 pressure rice cooker available on Amazon . +326 RiceCooker POS 5 I want to make long grain easily , but I also want very good cook long grain . this rice steamer be the only one I have find that have a brown rice setting . it take about 1 3\/4 hour to make the brown rice , about a half hour for white . I also steam my vegetable at the same time . Easy to clean . the price be right , also . +338 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy this item back in March 2010 and have use it a minimum of 3 time a week every single week since purchase . -lrb- my wife be Filipino -rrb- we have never be disappoint with the quality of rice this cooker make . we have also use it to make beef stew as a slow cooker and use it as a vegetable steamer also . it still make rice the way it do when it be brand new . even the non-stick coating on the 2 include pot be still fully intact and look brand new . it be operation have be flawless . the only thing you might have to make adjustment to as you use it be to learn the right amount of water to add to you uncooked rice to get the desire consistency you like . this be not a con but a learning curve . now we make only make 3 cup of rice at a time 3 time a week . we do this because the rice stick together after 24 to 36 hour and we like freshly cook Jasmine rice whenever possible . the clean-up could not be easier . the steam condensation be collect inside the cooker . very well make . I highly recommend this item . +43 RiceCooker NEU 3 buy this in September , and use it twice a week or so until February , when it abruptly stop work in the middle of make rice . completely dead , now . while it work , it be wonderful -- rice never stick to the bottom and be perfect every time , and the steamer be great for frozen veggy , frozen shrimp , or frozen scallop . even frozen chicken be cook perfectly during a rice-making cycle , although I sometimes have to cut a frozen breast in half to get it to fit in the small space . I write Black & Decker ask for a replacement , but I be guess with shipping cost , it would probably just be cheaper for I to order a new one from Amazon . +728 RiceCooker POS 5 love this rice cooker . Works great , but I find some really good recipe for steam and whole dinner , that could use a bigger unit . Wish it be available in a larger size . +556 RiceCooker POS 4 I have a different rice cooker that have the same messiness problem . if I place the spoon cup side down over the hole while the rice be cooking , there be no mess at all except on the top of the lid . and the steam be still able to escape . +4 RiceCooker NEG 1 burn out in 5 day . will try to replace be ! beware dont purchase it . beware dont purchase it . beware dont purchase it . beware dont purchase it +921 RiceCooker POS 5 make lovely soup , stew and roast with ease . Digital programming allow you to set the timer , go to work , and come home to a tasty meal that have be keep warm for you . Rice cooker be also great : rice come out perfect every time -lrb- since you choose how you want it -rrb- , and stay warm . most importantly , the rice be still edible the next day in the cooker . the combination of these two function -lrb- slow cooker and rice cooker -rrb- save space in my already too cluttered kitchen . the one caveat be that it do require two different interchangeable pot and lid , so you still need to make room in you cupboard for the pot and lid not be use . +444 RiceCooker POS 5 great rice cooker . the instruction be a bit vague but , you can figure they out . there should be a chart relate american rice type to the asian type . but , a little trial and error figure it out . . the feature be poorly explain in the instruction . for example , the timer . one neat feature I discover be that you use the marking in the rice pot to load it -lrb- use the cup that come with the unit to measure rice -rrb- , select rice type , then push the start button and forget it . the fuzzy logic will cook the rice properly , shut off and turn on warmer . this be really neat . the rice be always just right never over\/under do . I live on fried rice , Basmati and Jasmine be my favorite . Basmati be brown , follow brown rice direction . jasmine be white follow white rice direction . Cal Rose rice -lrb- sticky rice -rrb- be good but need special handling or it will clump in a hard ball ... -lrb- wash when do to remove sticky , then spread out to dry , before cooking fry rice . very tasty . . the steamer be great for veggy . the rest I have not use yet ... this be a 5 cup unit . the best overall size . I use three cup for the fried rice . this be quality unit . the part be well make and unit be very easy to clean . the rice paddle be very handy . do not skimp on a cheapy unit . you get what you pay for ... note : the measure cup seem to compensate for final cook rice volume , do not use standard measure cup . +981 RiceCooker POS 5 I get this cooker about 2 week back . use the delay timer , prepare rice . it very nice to come home to a hot dinner . also the slow cook option be wonderful . just one pot multitasking . make biryanus use the slow cook option . its wonderful . +354 RiceCooker NEG 1 it take more than 45 min to cook 1.5 Cup rice . this be my first rice cooker and do not know what to expect . I compare it with friend 's cooker which take 17-20 min to cook 10 cup which be bigger than cup with my cooker . I be 1 day past last date to return the cooker . I guess only option be to trash it . +899 RiceCooker POS 5 I have have a aroma rice cooker for a while and continually have trouble with it scorch the bottom of the rice while it never seem to get do . I be so frustrated that I finally decide to splurge and buy this cooker . it be amazing . as long as you follow the direction you can not make bad rice . it always turn out delicious . I have cook basmatus rice , Texmati brown rice and long grain wild rice . it come out great every time . I would higly recommend this little rice cooker . +490 RiceCooker POS 5 this be my second rice cooker . my first -lrb- from a different manufacturer -rrb- be a failure at cooking rice because the stuff stick to the surface of the pot . it do a fine job steam veggy , however . but then I be not look for a veggie steamer . I have no need for a ton of rice , so this little cooker make a perfect amount for my husband and I . cook like it be suppose to and stop cooking like it be suppose to . it take up no more room than it need to . I like it . +179 RiceCooker POS 5 this be the first rice cooker that I have own , so I do not have anything to compare with . however , this be easy to use and do a wonderful job in cooking rice -- perfect every time . when I first receive it , I have several question so I call the 1-800 number and the representative be friendly and helpful in fully answer my question . I would not hesitate in purchase another aroma product or recommend one to a friend . +795 RiceCooker POS 5 after use we Panasonic hard and finally kill it , it be time to look for another rice cooker . I have no complaint about this one . it be clear and easy to use -- I have never read the manual . it have setting for lot of different grain ; I make a lot of brown rice so it be important to I that it be able to handle brown rice well . it be very forgiving if I forget the rice for a while . I know you be not suppose to leave it on keep warm , but sometimes I forget it and it be nice to know that I be not go to burn it that way . I have make quinoa , sushi rice , basmatus rice , brown rice , black rice , red rice , rice with broth , rice with coconut milk , rice porridge , and garbanzo bean in this cooker . the garbanzo bean be a pleasant surprise . -lrb- I cook they on the brown rice setting ; they come out a little harder than can but very tasty and quite suitable for use in other recipe that call for canned\/pre-cooked garbanzo . -rrb- I have also attempt teff and would not repeat that ; the super-tiny seed end up float up into the steam vent and confuse the sensor . but clean it out be surprisingly easy consider how it get everywhere , so I can give it good point for be cleanable as well . Update : I have now use the timer feature and it work perfectly , be easy to set and use , and it remember setting for the next time . exactly what I want . +961 RiceCooker POS 5 this be the most amazing appliance I have in my kitchen ! I do ton of research on steamer and then I find this , it have almost all positive review and the price be fair . I use this to steam fruit and vegetable for my daughter when she start eat solid and it work wonderfully ! I can also cook rice and chicken with vegetable at the same time , and dinner be do in 30 minute . also I make a fritatta the other morning in 15 minute and it taste so good ! I highly recommend this ! +839 RiceCooker POS 4 I love the convenience of this Panasonic rice cooker . though I have not steam vegetable during the rice cooking cycle use the steamer insert that come with it , I think it be a useful feature . the steam escape in several place and there be a side reservoir that you need to empty after each use . the steam come out of the top do make quite a mess , so be sure to have some paper towel handy . I love the retractable cord . all the rice I have make have turn out great . I highly recommend this rice cooker . +663 RiceCooker POS 5 love this ! as someone new to a rice-cooker , I do not want to get the most expensive one . I research , and find better review with aroma brand than some other model at Amazon . also , as a family of 5 , I like the capacity this one have . if you make brown rice , do not forget to read the manual . you can only put a maximum of 4 cup dry rice in due to the need for additional water . I have make sushi rice , yellow rice , and steamer basket at least 4 time a week since I purchase . I ask my 10 year old what she want for breakfast ... she say , `` rice '' . LOL EASY to use , easy to handwash inside container , and simply wipe\/disinfect inner lid , etc. . . +675 RiceCooker NEU 3 ive have this cooker for almost three year now . I eat a lot of rice and also use it to cook wheat berry -lrb- 6 hour -rrb- . its use about 12 hour a week . I be write this review hope someone from the manufacturer will read it and consider re-design the lid . it be of a completely moronic design . there be a dish shape to contain the condensed steam , which work fine , but the actual handle be in the way , prevent one to wipe the lid dry without awkward contortion . I have even resort to disassemble the entire lid with a screwdriver to do a thorough cleaning twice . +167 RiceCooker POS 5 + lot -lrb- see below -rrb- - teflon pot it cook much more than rice : so far I try : buckwheat , quinoa , barley - on brown rice setting . millet porridge on porridge setting . not to mention that rice be always perfect . my only regret that it have this non stick teflon inner pot , and I be try to get rid of teflon in my household . +308 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker be great ! it be small and easy to store . the rice come out tender every time . very easy to use . +465 RiceCooker POS 5 we first encounter the Zojirushi rice maker at my son 's and be impressed enough to order one . it be not cheap , but work flawlessly .

I be so disappointed ... will not buy any product from Sanyo . +145 RiceCooker POS 5 after get it I be able to easily cook sushi rice as well as accurately gauge how much rice to cook for four people without waste . I have yet to burn a batch and the item itself be idiot proof , flip the switch and go find something else to do . the warmer function work as advertise and I have be able to successfully leave the rice in for over a hour with no adverse effect . highly recommend ! +280 RiceCooker NEU 3 it do make very good rice , but take longer as other have state . we be asian and use it almost daily for close to 3 year and it be now break ... do not work . I think it may be because we be not too careful with clean it as I find burnt rice on the bottom of the cooker , so maybe it be due to that . +696 RiceCooker POS 5 I have have my Sanyo cooker for just over a week now and have use it just 3 time . must say that the first 2 cup of rice be cook to perfection . no overcooked bottom in this little beauty . . second batch just like the first . . try the delay time and it go just great . just the fact that it cook to perfection and then keep it warm all night for rice cereal in the morning make this a winner in my book . Hope it hold up for many year . . my old rice cooker be now retire after 10 year of service . . I be just tire of the crusty bottom layer of rice ... +250 RiceCooker POS 5 I purchase this for a friend . I think -lrb- at this price -rrb- it would have a stainless steel interior cooking bowl and interior . Poor assumption on my part . my friend will not eat from anything with a aluminum surface so I end up keep it for myself . the unit have a aluminum lid the bowl be aluminum that be coat with a non-stick surface inside and out . it be very easy to clean . it be a top quality unit no doubt . the interior bowl be mark for water level and you get a scoop with a prescribe size for the unit . I have cook white rice , brown rice and steel cut oatmeal in it . for my like the white rice need more water than the bowl measure request . my origional thought be the unit be too expensive for what it do but I like it very much . after one year of use , I can not say that there be another appliance that I have enjoy and get so much use out of . I be a fan of this appliance beyond word . the rice be always the same , perfect . I add a little extra water for my liking . +455 RiceCooker POS 5 this a great rice cooker . all that it be bill to be . Perfect for delicious , slow cook brown rice and also have a quick cook cycle when you be in a hurry for fluffy white rice . +423 RiceCooker POS 4 be expect a slightly bigger rice cooker for a 3 cup rice cooker but it work none the less . have to get another bigger rice cooker just because need more rice to be cook . but this rice cooker be good enough for small dinner . good stuff +442 RiceCooker POS 5 this product be great I receive it 2 day after purchase it . I use it everyday it be perfect for a dorm room or a little apartment . also , it make perfect rice everytime for one person or more depend on how much you like to eat , plus it be great price . +356 RiceCooker POS 5 you life will never be the same once you get this amazing rice cooker . it be by far the best purchase I have make in the last few year . perhaps you think i be exagerate . . i be not . it make the best rice ever ; it be easy to use ; it be convenient ; easy to clean up ; it can keep the rice warm . in addition to rice , it make excellent oatmeal and porridge . if you be read this review and be think , ` but i do not like rice ' , but it anyway . i do not like rice either before I get my first zojirushus rice cooker . now i really like rice - we make extra rice to have around for fry rice , rice salad , rice pudding . the possibility be endless . this appliance be useful for everyone -- busy housewife , bachelor , food snob , child-free married people ; single woman ... buy it ! the only drawback be that , like most zojirushus machine , the instruction manual leave a lot to be desire . since it be so easy to use and since there be numerous rice cooker cookbook out there , the poor instruction manual be not really a problem . +194 RiceCooker POS 5 review be true , this cooker make fine rice . the design and construction be first rate . I think the tactile feedback of the control , carry handle , cooking pot and paddle be a pleasure . the retractable cord and folding handle make storage easy . the maker even give you the choice of attach the paddle holder to the left or right side of the cooker . nice job Zojirushi . +825 RiceCooker POS 5 I love this rice cooker . . make perfect fool proof rice . . I also steam some veggy in it and it be perfect ! you can not go wrong with this rice cooker . +169 RiceCooker POS 5 I read many review before purchase my first rice cooker . the Zojirushi rock ! it be unbelievable that I do not think to buy one earlier . I be buy one for my son as he head out off to he sophomore year of college . the only thing I do not like about it be that unless it be within a certain window of be do , I can not figure out when it will be do so I can time it to coincide with the rest of my dinner . the timer with the stay warm feature be a huge plus for coordinate meal prep around work and kid ' activity . +451 RiceCooker POS 5 we do a lot of research look for a new rice cooker . this one work great ! perfectly steamed veggy , and rice -lrb- even brown -rrb- come out perfect ! tender , not mushy .

I have even drop this unit hard enough to put a dent in it and it still work just fine . the non stick surface have hold up well -lrb- I be typically not very careful about non stick surface -rrb- and have a few scratch that be my fault , but the rest of the coating remain intact . the only reason I do not give this the full five star be that I do not know how they get 6 cup of cook rice out of this . if I try to cook 3 cup uncook it overflow , but for smaller amount it work just fine . I do not know , maybe I need new measure cup ... +793 RiceCooker POS 5 have a rice cooker for year but it be get as wear out as I so I try this one and if I could replace I for what I do my rice cooker for what I do and have a good one as this I would . +114 RiceCooker POS 5 we older rice cooker finally bite the dust and we want one that produce the quality of cook rice that one expect in a chinese or Thai restaurant . this Sanyo rice cooker produce great rice and be easy to use . we like the easy carry handle so that we can store the cooker in we cabinet when not in use . it be a very versatile cooker with feature for oatmeal and slow cooking meal , etc. . it seem very well make . +907 RiceCooker POS 5 do what it say it will do - cook rice well . this be the third aroma rice cooker I have own . I give two of they away to family who rave about how well it cook . I find the cooker improve the more you use it , i.e. the first couple of batch of rice be cook but not as well as later batch . it get better with usage . +614 RiceCooker POS 4 it be tough to pick how many star to give this product . while it work it be awesome . it cook rice perfectly and steam veggy at the same time . the problem be that it have only last a year for I before fail . I give it four star still because seriously , it be 15 dollar . what be you expect . so this rice cooker will work great for a while but will eventually fail . I buy a second one and it stop work about a year later as well . +382 RiceCooker POS 4 small but powerful the rice come out great . my only qualm would be that if you it sit in the pot for a long time , it start to clump a bit more than be optimal . +579 RiceCooker NEG 1 I initially purchase the 6 cup model . after a few month it suddenly stop work . plug it into a good outlet and no light , heat , nothing . since it be just the wife and I , I think I would try this smaller moldel . this one only last 1 month before the very same thing happen . the thing be cheap enough that it be not worth the hassle and pay return shipping - so I 'll just eat the loss and learn a lesson about Black & Decker appliance . +392 RiceCooker NEG 1 I think it be the size of rice cooker I be look for to replace a old one I give away . unfortunately as soon as I get the pot out of the box I have to laugh , it look like a toy . I will keep it because I hate return item . I love Black & Decker product but this one be just a funny size . +152 RiceCooker POS 4 ok . so I buy this because I really have to watch my food intake . so the rice cooker do a awesome job of steam the rice and veggy . I have steam beet in this and man they be awesome ! I give it 4 star because sometimes it be awesome if it have a on\/off switch . other than that it really be a great rice cooker . I be happy with this purchase . oh and ive have this rice cooker now for almost close to 1 year . so yes its pretty darn awesome . +81 RiceCooker POS 4 nice cooker but a bit small for a family of 4 . also can not really tell the difference between this and one I get from Walmart -lrb- Aroma brand -rrb- +874 RiceCooker POS 5 I have not baked bread as of yet , but the rice cooker function work great , much better than the $ 25 machine it replace . I like the quality of this unit because you can tell it be well build unlike the other +545 RiceCooker POS 5 this be my first rice cooker and I want to go big or go home . I only eat brown rice and trust I I struggle with cooking it on the stove top . with this baby I have make perfect rice everytime . I love the timer setting . I actually dont have a problem with the timer be the time you want the stuff to be finish . I would rather not have to calculate how long it would take something to cook . this way it will simply be ready when you want it to be . so far I have not have to do any guess work in figure out the measurement . just follow the line on the bowl and use the little plastic cup . Horay perfect brown rice everytime . it be small , cute , quiet , and not much steam be emit . even my uncle want one . highly reccomended . +72 RiceCooker POS 5 it be very good . I almost use it everyday . it be 3-cup uncooked rice , and just enough for I . it also small , so it will not take big place in my small kinchen . I like it ! +672 RiceCooker POS 4 this be a nice product . relatively cheap . and it cook rice very well and its easy to clean . however , I be not exactly sure how the warm function work , when the rice be do it be suppose to pop into a `` keep warm '' mode . it only do it a few time , and to get the rice the way I want it I have to cut it off early anyway to keep it from overcook . but it be still a great product for the price you have to pay for it . +620 RiceCooker POS 5 I have have this for about two month now and it have turn out better than I expect . I have never have brown rice that I like before but it turn out perfect with this . I find out that I can cook dry bean in this to perfection ! I put 2 1\/2 part water to one part bean and use the white rice setting . after the timer go off I pour cold water on top then rinse and drain . bean come out firm with skin attach but not mealy . I have try black bean and black-eyed pea this way so far with great result . a bag of mixed bean do not work as well . +836 RiceCooker NEG 1 do not buy this hunk of junk . Mine work great - for the first 12 time i use it . then it stop work . so i go to aroma with the warranty info and they be great in send out a replacement , a week later . or it would have be great if the thing work . on the first go , it do what the first pile-o-junk do - stop work . do not waste you time or you money on this product . +307 RiceCooker POS 5 I have to have a great rice cooker . not just one of those cheap one with the glass lid that almost no one in Asia have anymore , but a fancy , computerized one . so when I see this rice cooker on Amazon and see that it have a separate pot for steaming\/slow cooking , I be sell . I actually have my eye on a 5.5 cup Zojirushi cooker before , but the feature -lrb- compare to this Sanyo one -rrb- just do not compare or justify the price difference . Have have this cooker for about three month now , and have use it at least once a week -lrb- some week more , some week less ... it vary due to my schedule and pantry item -rrb- . Rice come out cleanly and evenly-cooked every time -lrb- even if I add too little or too much water -rrb- . I have be cooking jasmine rice and brown rice in here , and have be able to keep both jasmine and brown rice in the fridge for up to five day without it spoil and get too hard to eat -lrb- especially for fried rice -rrb- . I have also steamed dumpling in it , and the only complaint I have regard that be that I wish there be a better steam tray for this unit . the steam tray that come with this cooker have concave dip in it to accommodate 8 egg , and that get slightly annoying , but only from a aesthetic point of view . not really a dealbreaker ! the recipe booklet that come with this cooker have some great recipe idea . I have only try the beef rice jook recipe so far . it be a bit on the thick side -lrb- like the consistency of REALLY thick oatmeal -rrb- , but it at least give you a start point to tweak the recipe to you liking on some popular asian -lrb- mainly chinese -rrb- dish . timer function be great , if a bit confusing to remember the first few time , along with the 12-hour warming function -lrb- though I have never have to use the warming function for longer than a hour so far -rrb- . no warming function for rice porridge , but if you turn the unit off and then back on again , it will automatically stay on `` warm '' . the noise that this unit make when you food be do be also not the usual somewhat-annoying , very cheesy musical tune that a lot of other fancy rice cooker have . it be just a standard beeping noise , and not too annoying or long . overall , I could not be happier with this cooker . if I can find a better steam tray so that I can maybe steam some meal with my rice , I would be in heaven . this cooker definitely have the potential to do it all . +507 RiceCooker POS 5 I have use electric ricer before but none as good as this one . a friend recommend this brand to I when I complain that my brown rice never come out right in the electric rice cooker that I have . my friend have this Zojirushi cooker and tell I the rice come out perfect and the bowl clean up quickly . she be right on all count ! the rice come out fluffy and do to perfection , whether I be use white short or long , or brown rice . the warmer feature be great because I can make my rice ahead of time and know that when we be ready to eat , the rice will still be nice and warm and fluffy . I would recommend this Zojirushi Rice cooker very highly . +31 RiceCooker POS 5 cook rice -lrb- usually indian basmatus -rrb- perfectly , and steam veggy at the same time . very happy with it . no problem so far with rice sticking to bottom . +36 RiceCooker POS 4 this rice cooker be good quality . I use it daily for my lunch and find it very convenient to use and to clean . however , the size be relatively small . if you be interested in buy a rice cooker to cook for a family of any more that two people or for any more than one meal , you should consider buy a rice cooker that be a little larger than this one . other than that , I totally recommend it for the price and the quality ! +243 RiceCooker POS 5 Easy to use everyday . quick cleanup . Compact , do not occupy much counter space . look good . +421 RiceCooker POS 5 why buy such a expensive rice cooker instead of a cheaper one ? this rice cooker make the best rice I have ever taste . Zojirushi be a respected brand for quality , and this be a quality device . I like that the cord roll up into the body , and it have a handle for easy transport . the inner pot can be remove easily and be simple to clean . I do not need to scrub it at all , and the rice never burn on the bottom . I like the feature and how easy it be to use . I especially like the timer feature . it be worth every penny and I look forward to use it for year . +228 RiceCooker POS 5 although cooking rice in a pot on a range be easy , it require some attention . this machine , which be perfect for 1-4 serving of steamed rice , couscous , barley , or other cook grain , reduce the attention time to zero . although $ 100 seem like a lot , I be glad I decide to get it . it be a pleasure to use . +861 RiceCooker POS 5 for the price it be a very nice little cooker . no bell or whistle but do exactly what it be suppose to do , mainly , cook rice to perfection . highly recommend for cooking small portion of rice . +159 RiceCooker POS 5 although I have to admit I have only use this rice cooker in the ` Quick Cook ' mode , the rice have come out perfect each and every time . two japanese cup provide for about 4 serving of perfectly cook basmatus rice . what impress I the most be the high quality material and attention to detail in its design . +512 RiceCooker POS 5 cook rice well , and the rice do not stick to the pot even though I do not add any liquid to the side to prevent it from stick . Perfect for serve 1-3 people . +863 RiceCooker POS 5 my wife and I have be very happy with this rice cooker . we frequently cook brown rice with it , and there be just no comparison to the messy inconsistent stove-top method . we cook 1 1\/2 cup each time -lrb- which seem to be the optimal amount -rrb- and get restaurant quality rice ! we have also use this rice cooker to cook quinoa -lrb- for which it work very nicely , just use the `` white rice '' setting -rrb- . it do not work as well , in my experience , for porrige or oatmeal - which we continue to cook on the stove . regardless , we have find this a invaluable addition to we kitchen appliance arsenal . I highly recommend it . +331 RiceCooker POS 5 my new Black & Decker Rice Cooker purchase via Amazon work better than a previously own big and bulky Rice Cooker . I be look for a simple to operate Rice Cooker that get the job do in a timely manner and this be it and it be easy to clean . I love it ! thank you Amazon for make this purchase easy . +597 RiceCooker POS 5 first of all , it look good ; - -rrb- and second , it work great . the most important , it be EASY to clean ! I love it . +667 RiceCooker NEG 1 when the cooker first arrive , I be pleased beyond word . cook fast and the rice come out perfectly cook . about two month into the purchase , the cook fail . it would power up and you assume the rice be cooking . within five minute , it would switch from cook to warm mode . it should do so after all the water have evaporate and the rice have cook . the company 's warranty be a sham . the customer need to pay for ship both way . only a company which do not intend to stay in business for long will have this policy . as someone else point out , the postage would cost $ 25 for a $ 28 cooker . would advice you get a more reliable brand who honor they warranty without give the customer the run around ! +65 RiceCooker NEG 2 this be a pretty good rice cooker for one or two people , but it can not cook 3 cup of rice . it can hardly hold 2 cup of rice . +480 RiceCooker POS 5 Cut up some garlic in you rice for a extra tasty kick . this be big enough for two people , but if you have a family of more than three , go with something bigger . make perfect rice , but if you do the max amount of rice , put a little less than the recommend amount of water or it be liable to boil over -lrb- my fiance find that one out the hard way ! -rrb- . +445 RiceCooker POS 5 I love this pretty rice cooker as the steam be all contain inside so no mess to clean on the outside and like how it stay cool to the touch . I buy only long grain brown rice so be still experiment to get the right amount of liquid for the consistency I like but love the nonstick inside container make clean up a snap . I highly recommend this product to those who love rice . I have not try steam vegetable yet but that be a bonus with this model . +460 RiceCooker POS 4 my old , standard , one-button rice cooker seem so primitive compare to this device . I have use it to cook white and brown rice , slow cook , and steam . the rice come out properly cook , and truly taste better than with my older cooker . I presume the other space age rice cooker -lrb- e.g. make by Tiger , Zori -rrb- make great rice as well , but I have never compare . two bowl be provide ; they be heavy and high quality , and zero rice stick they , make clean up super easy . steam be also a snap -lrb- although everything have to fit in the unit , so size might be a limitation -rrb- . for some reason , on two occasion , the rice cooker malfunction -- do not heat up to temperature and rice stay uncooked . the past few time it have work fine . so , the verdict be still out if this be as reliable as the trusty one-button cooker . +561 RiceCooker POS 5 very good cooker better than one I use to have that last a few month . so far this one have be very good , great buy , ty amazon +681 RiceCooker NEG 1 have this rice cooker for two year . it recently die . I find the problematic part that need to be replace , but can not get replacement part from either manufacture or they service center . talk to they several time without find any solution . bad customer service and low quality product ! +320 RiceCooker POS 4 I purchase this rice cooker about a year ago and have be amaze with the result . I have use it to prepare brown , wild , long and short grain white rice , and it have perfectly cook they all . I also frequently use the timer function to have steel cut oats ready for my breakfast . I generally avoid non-stick cookware because I like have pan that I know will last I a lifetime , but it be pretty much impossible to find a good quality rice maker , this small , that be not non-stick . I go ahead and buy it because I figure at the price I pay it would probably be high quality and last for a long time . a year later and the nonstick coating -lrb- teflon ? -rrb- start to blister and peel . luckily it happen right before the one year warrenty period end . I contact Zojirushi and find they to be very friendly and helpful . after inspect the pan I ship they -lrb- at my cost -rrb- for physical damage , they replace it free of charge . the entire process only take two week , so I do not have to go very long cooking rice by hand . I be hopeful that this pan will hold up longer , but Zojirushi do sell replacement pan for about 20 dollar . despite the issue with the teflon I would still recommend this product to anyone look for a small cooker that prepare perfectly cook rice . +952 RiceCooker NEG 1 this product be terrible . it last 1 month and it be not work anymore . definitely not buy this product . I be very very disappointed . +918 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy this rice cooker a week ago and can not stop use it . so far I have make the best brown rice that I have taste in my home . we have also be use this machine to make Biryani -lrb- which come out excellent -rrb- , steel-cut oatmeal with blueberry , and chicken soup . if you need a machine that can make a wide variety of slow cook food , as well as excellent rice , then I highly recommend this machine . +789 RiceCooker NEG 1 I buy this Rice Cooker so I would be able to make rice with out worry about it . SO ... why would I want to go back after 15 minute and stir ? also the steam spout spew water all over . I can do that on the stove top with out any help ! I return this item and will try again with another one . +373 RiceCooker POS 4 I just finish make my first cup of rice with this rice cooker and the only problem I have be that the exhaust vent on top spills\/boils over\/bubbles out -lrb- whatever you want to call it -rrb- , water . it make a slight mess on top and on my counter . I have only cook one cup so I do not know how much of a mess 20 cup would make . +548 RiceCooker POS 4 this cooker be great for cooking small amount of rice , I have yet to try a full pot . base on the direction recommendation for cooking one serve , it be about 15 minute too long . but with any product never use before it be all about trial and error . I would recommend this to anyone who like to cook rice but do not want to use up the pot they have for other dish . take up a small amount of counter space , and the cleanup be so easy . 4\/5 +959 RiceCooker POS 5 I love my Zojirushi rice cooker ! I do not mind cooking white rice on the stove or quick oatmeal in the microwave , but I really prefer brown rice and steel-cut oatmeal . the problem be , by the time my wife or I get home to start dinner , it be too late to start on brown rice . it be the same at breakfast - there just be not enough time to cook steel-cut oatmeal on weekday , so I only have it on weekend . I be not willing to pay $ 100 for a rice cooker , but when I read that it could cook oatmeal as well as brown rice , and it could do it on a timer , and that it could keep rice warm for several hour , I be willing to give it a shot . if you follow the direction -lrb- rinse you rice ! -rrb- , it really do all of those thing . Rice come out great every time -lrb- I have try several variety of brown rice -rrb- , and so do steel-cut oatmeal -lrb- I use McCann 's -rrb- . Rice will stay warm for many hour . clean up be a total breeze , particularly if you do it as soon as the bowl cool . since I buy it , I have discover that my 1 and 1\/2 year-old love brown rice and oatmeal , so I have start set the timer every night so that there be fresh oatmeal wait for we when we get up . I have use it every day for about four month , and I do not have a single complaint . if you can cough up the $ 100 + , I would highly recommend this rice cooker . Update : I have now be use the rice cooker for over five year , and it be still go strong , and it still look like new . this be a classic case of `` you get what you pay for '' - this turn out to be a bargain , despite the high price . +930 RiceCooker NEG 1 I use this just four time and it break . electrical short . what a total waste of money . will look for a better product . do not buy this one . +198 RiceCooker POS 5 I love it love it love it ! I steam veggy daily , I steam hard boil -lrb- steam -rrb- egg in the shell . steam rice and meat and veggy all at one time . I would not hesitate to buy one again . I recommend this to everyone . God Bless +136 RiceCooker POS 5 what you have to understand be that I hardly ever cook rice before . oh , except for the instant boil-in bag ! and when I do , it come out sticky , dry , or burn . I have a large , busy family with 4 teens so I think I would get a big fuzzy logic rice cooker because I would hear rave -lrb- read the excellent `` the Ultimate Rice Cooker cookbook '' by Hensperger and Kaufman ! -rrb- and want to finally incorporate whole grain into we diet every day . fuzzy logic cooker be not like the regular old rice steamer ; instead they use some kind of computer magic to determine how long to cook rice perfectly every time . then I see this one with a smaller footprint , and for some reason I have to have it too . the bottom line be that I use it EVERY SINGLE DAY to make brown rice , quinoa , bhutanese red rice , forbid black rice , whole wheat couscous ... all the whole grain you be suppose to be eat . it be absolutely my favorite kitchen appliance and I actually try to take it when I travel ! I never use the larger fuzzy logic because this one make plenty ! my kid use the hard-boiled egg feature almost daily , too , because the egg come out perfectly and you can make 7 at a time . the timer and control be SUPER EASY and it come with extra bowl etc. . for tofu , you must use the homemade soy milk , not commercial . the steamer be nice , and the crock pot too , but I use the microwave for steam and have much larger crockpot for stew and pot roast etc. . eat more whole grain ! by the way , I have lose 80 lb . eat more vegetable and whole grain . get this Sanyo ecj-hc55 5.5 cup rice cooker ! highly recommend . +240 RiceCooker POS 5 I get this rice cooker a few month ago and be so far quite pleased . I use to cook rice only very rarely because it be a pain in the butt to do so on a stovetop -lrb- at least in my opinion it be -rrb- . now I cook rice and quinoa regularly and the result be always excellent . for white rice , this cooker do a amazing job with no thought whatsoever . for brown rice the result be a little trickier and seem to rely very heavily on the quality of the rice you use . the amount of water you use , to a very fine and surprising degree , also make a huge difference on the brown rice . water level be key with this , I have find . the instruction do state that one should vary the water level depend on the environment you live in and the moisture level of the rice you be cooking . I have find I actually have to consistently put less water than the measurement line call for , and it take I a little while to realize this . if you pay close attention , you 'll have no problem . I have find , like other reviewer have state , that -lrb- especially with brown rice -rrb- let the rice soak for awhile before cooking make a huge difference . if you have a regular schedule and can use the timer feature , that be a great idea . otherwise , if you be plan ahead -lrb- not my strong suit -rrb- then you can plan properly to build in soak time . once learn the in and out of this cooker -lrb- and it be really pretty straightforward -rrb- , it be easy to end up with amazing rice every time . this be my first rice cooker and I buy it on the recommendation of friend ... I now recommend it to you ! +3 RiceCooker POS 5 several year ago , I own a large Zojirushi rice cooker , and it be a fine product . more recently , I buy the low-end model of Zojirushi rice cooker and vegetable steamer , and it work wonderfully for a cooker in its price range . I leave that model with a friend who be host a asian exchange student , and she use it to provide she guest with the same quality cook rice he be use to at home . I need a first-rate rice cooker , and again go with Zojirushi . I have now cook white rice , brown rice and make porridge , and I love this machine ! as always , two point : First , measure precisely . second , use the best rice you can afford to buy -- new crop rice from my local asian supermarket work particularly well . do these two thing , and you will have consistently excellent rice every time . I expect to get year of service out of this little cooker ; it perform as well as its big brother -lrb- at a much lower price -rrb- and take up about the same counter space as a toaster . altogether , a excellent deal ! +595 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker be very simple and straight to the point , if you be just cook a meal for 1-2 people . I have be use it for almost a year and have not have any problem with it so far . I love it and I think it do its job as well as a expensive rice cooker . I love that it be lightweight and easy to carry around , especially when I want to move thing around in the kitchen . I definitely recommend this item for anyone who need a simple rice cooker for a small family -lrb- 1-3 people -rrb- . just do not forget to press the `` cook '' button like I often do , and find myself with uncooked rice come dinner time !! : p +977 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy this as a gift for my husband who be a rice-aholic and consider himself a connoisseur of rice . he absolutely love this rice cooker ! its very easy to use and make very good rice ! this rice cooker be highly recommend ! +383 RiceCooker POS 5 love this product !! I use it the first time for brown rice , which be a pain to cook in my old steamer . it turn out perfectly . I especially love the delay start feature , because we host minor league baseball player during the summer and I can set it to start before we leave for the game and it be on warm when I return to finish up they dinner . they eat really late ! it be super easy to clean and operate it be a breeze . so happy I purchase this . have not use it to steam veggy yet , but soon ... +627 RiceCooker POS 5 i have be look for a good rice cooker that do not dry out or burn the rice on the bottom of the pot when leave on `` keep warm '' for hour and this be it ! it cook the rice evenly all throughout . the only drawback be it make I eat more rice . will definitely try out different rice recipe , ooop ! a little pricey but worth it ! -lrb- i hope i do not speak too soon -rrb- . i hope it be durable and will last for year . happy eating : -rrb- +449 RiceCooker POS 5 first , I try this one for myself . it be really nice and function well with various option setting . we use timer for cooking breakfast -lrb- rice porridge -rrb- on weekend a lot . it would be use for steamer cooker and slow cooker as well . the size be small , we always bring it to we ski vacation trip . then , I buy two for my kid who be live in college apartment . they both like it . it be really a nice product with quality , function build in . +244 RiceCooker POS 5 I own two other rice cooker and this be the best and my favorite . I can not wait to make bread in it ! it be a small rice cooker that be perfect for a small family . add a bit more detail as of May 25 , 2009 - I really can not say enough about this rice cooker . I use it on a daily basis to make jasmine rice . my jasmine rice come out perfect on the quick cycle . try add a little bit of olive oil in with the rice before it begin boil . not too much . I have find just a little bit of olive oil give it a nice sheen and keep it from gum up and get too sticky . of course , sometimes sticky be good . especially when make korean bbq . yum ! +972 RiceCooker NEG 1 we have very bad experience with this cooker , I dont recommend buy it . when we buy it for the first time it stop work within couple of month then we order one more and the same thing repeat within couple of day this time . I be very disappoint with this product and be tire of order one more cooker . the same product when we buy it from wallmart we didnt seem any issue , it work for 3 year . I keep get this issue when i start buy from amazon , i be not sure why be it so . I strictly dont recommend people buy this product from amazon . +785 RiceCooker POS 4 I have own many rice cooker over the year . this one , by far , make the best rice , consistently . Easy to use , easy to clean . and i love that you can cook as little as one cup at a time ! the only drawback here be the darn thing doesnt display how much time be leave . sure it will turn off when it be do , so no worry there . but once i turn it on , i be curious after a while : do we have 20 more minute ? half hour ? 10 minute ? it start click down the minute leave to cook about 10 before hand -- no sooner . why not just click down from the beginning ?? +962 RiceCooker POS 5 I love this rice cooker . it be perfect for a single portion and so easy since it come with a measure cup and have line to indicate water level . I be asian and grow up eat rice and this cook it perfectly and fast . +135 RiceCooker POS 5 my grandson really really love it . the wait be a while for he birthday present , but he think , worth the wait . he can program it and he meal will be ready when he come home . +370 RiceCooker POS 5 my fiance ' be a serious -lrb- high-tech -rrb- rice cooker fan . hate cooking rice in a pot , and think my older , simplistic , make-in-the-microwave version be useless -lrb- I think it be effective and economical -rrb- . when we decide to get a new electronic rice cooker -lrb- we would give he away year earlier in the quest for space in a NYC metro apartment -rrb- , we want something that be easy to use and that make perfect rice , yet be relatively small , could multitask , and be not go to break the bank . THIS be it !!! we have have it for a few month now , and have use it as a rice cooker , slow cooker , or steamer every other week on average . it work well , make great food with a minimum of effort , and be a great value . no it be not the cheapest , but it do what the expensive one do without they price tag . make perfect amount for a couple small family , and be reasonably size for that task . +676 RiceCooker POS 5 I debate over buy a appliance dedicate solely to one task and one task only , but I be so glad I finally do . this rice cooker have change my life , in so much as it give I one less thing to think about when I walk in the door from work and be confront with get dinner on the table in a timely fashion . it be such a relief to not even have to measure out the rice and water and get that go ; Zojirushi have it under control and I can focus on the veggy and the protein . the appliance be very easy to use and pre-program , and easy to clean\/maintain . -lrb- wash out the non-stick bowl sure beat have to clean out the entire microwave when the rice water inevitably bubble over -rrb- . it be relatively easy to store -lrb- the retractable cord be nice -rrb- , although it do take up a fair amount of space in the cabinet . oh , and it make much better rice than I ever do , either with the stovetop method or the microwave method , and it keep it warm so timing be not really as much as a issue . finally , this have get I over my reluctance to try brown rice -lrb- ugggh , who have 45 minute to wait while brown rice cook ? -rrb- now it start cooking before I even get home , shorten the time it take I to get dinner on the table considerably . I really recommend this for anyone who eat rice with any regularity at all -lrb- I use the Zojirushi about once a week -rrb- and who be interested in simplify life just a little bit . +309 RiceCooker POS 4 we love this rice cooker , it be not so large and perfect for the two of we . do fair job of brown rice if you let it soak for a while first . I recommend this rice cooker for a family of two or three . +701 RiceCooker NEG 1 I have purchase this rice cooker almost a week ago and it just completely stop cooking . first I trust the company because they be big and they produce lot of different product in different area but this rice cooker be just a total disappointment . the problem be , it just stop work and the light be not on . I unplug it and plug it back nothing change . I clean every part of it and still nothing change . it be not the only problem . it say 3 cup rice cooker , well it be not regular 3 cup , it have this small cup come with the cooker , that cup be they measurement . my point be , it can only cook 1.5 cup of rice only . when you look at the picture carefully you will see that some other brand call `` aroma '' have a bigger rice cooker and it be also a 3 cup cooker . I buy a kettle of that brand and it be work like a champ now about rice cooker clearly I make a mistake . I just pay some money for the brand . as a result of this , I only have a piece of metal junk in my kitchen now . probably people will just read the 5 star rate message and decide to buy the product . I be sure those people have no problem with this product but why would you take that risk and waste you money eventually ? my suggestion be stay away from this rubbish ... +177 RiceCooker POS 4 I have a big rice cooker and do love it . I have have it for year . but ... it be huge and mean for substantial pot of rice . when cook a smaller portion it do not do as well and I can wind up with yucky rice . enter my search for a smaller version . this aroma cooker have many virtue and so far , not a single drawback when use properly . depend on the type of rice you like or be use that day , the function will vary somewhat . when use Jasmine rice , rinse it once or twice and you can cook almost the full 3 cup of dry rice for a hefty 6 cup of finish rice . when use Nishiki rice , rinse once and it will come out nice and sticky for sushi making . for other rice , you 'll often need to rinse twice to reduce the foam create inside the cooker and prevent some of it come out the top . steam do come out the top from the steam vent . but it be suppose to and if it do not , you would not get the same effect from the cooking process . very important so do not stop it up . just be careful not to rest you hand over the hole and no problem should be encouter . the steamer attachment be awesome ! I use it for edamame and it come out perfect . I plan on use it often . it be best suit for modest portion , however , so probably not a good choice for a veggie loving family who want to do hefty portion for more than 2 people . the only caution I have be that when the rice be do , be sure to be handy in order to fluff and serve or at least remove the heat . it will quickly brown the rice a bit on the bottom if leave on the heat after it be do . +466 RiceCooker POS 4 we have be use we new Zojirushi about twice a week for over month now , and it have be everything we be look for in a rice cooker . no more under-cooked or over-cooked rice for meal ! Edit : I have revise this down to 4 star due to the cord retraction mechanism . after use the cooker for about a month , the cord often will not retract and have to be store with the cord hang out . I would say we can get it to retract about once in 10 attempt , and the one time it work it no longer retract fully . +267 RiceCooker POS 5 this be a great rice cooker for the price . I have use this product at least three time a week for the past month . it have be consistent in make tasty rice every time . I highly recommend it to everyone . +690 RiceCooker NEU 3 this small appliance change my life for one month until the slow cooker inner pot peel , crack and be render useless . prior to the pot give out , the product be great . I be steam and cook on alternate day make rice , quinoa and polenta in the rice cooker and a variety of slow cooker recipe . I can still use the rice cooker pot and be try to track down a replacement slow cooker inner pot ; part be not in stock with Sanyo US service center and Sanyo be unapologetic that they product crap out after a month of use . from amazing to annoying . +845 RiceCooker NEG 1 just have the second one of these die after only 3 or 4 use , same as the first . a false economy to go this cheap . I 'll be look for another brand . +289 RiceCooker POS 5 this be the best thing ever , WE MADE SUSHI and the RICE come out perfect and so do the sushi , it be everthe they say it be and more we steam vegtable with fish in it and it be great . thank you . +430 RiceCooker POS 5 recently remarry , my new spouse and I each have rice pot and could not agree on how to consolidate duplicate small appliance into we small kitchen . for example , we each have a rice pot , and do not have room or need for both . my husband find the Zojirushi lac05 and we be able to solve we multus rice pot delimna by replace both pot with this new one . although I be initially skeptical , it turn out to be a really good choice ! the lac05 do not spit or spatter at all - it be completely self contain and have only a steam release . the internal cooking bowl be engarave with cooking measurement , and be coat ; wash up easily with no sticking . clean the outside with damp cloth . it have a small , contain footprint - it be compact and have no external dust catcher . it also sing - play different tune for start up and ! ready now , come eat ! . have a warmer that also let you know it be still on . it have different setting for white , brown , mixed rice , also do porridge -lrb- e.g. oatmeal . -rrb- we sometimes cook lentil or seaweed with we rice and it handle all that on the `` mixed '' setting . the Zojirushi lac05 model make 3 cup and it be fine for the two of we . for a few $ $ more you can get a 5.5 cup size -lrb- I assume you can make less than a full pot -rrb- . only drawback at all -lrb- if it be one -rrb- be that it be not fast . different rice take different time of course , but the point be , this cooker take about the same time as stovetop , do not reduce cooking time . but with the preset timer option , time be not a factor if you can plan ahead . I would recommend this product to anyone ! it be far superior to any of the other rice cooker that either of we have use over the year . you may think the price be a bit steep for a rice cooker , but do not be deter , it be worth the price many time over in convenience , reduce clean up and perfect rice every time ! +389 RiceCooker POS 4 have be use the rice cooker for a few week by now . so far we have use it for regular white rice cooking . no problem at all . it produce soft and puffy white rice every time . try once on porridge , the result be not very satisfactory . the only complaint we have be that the non-sticking coat inside the inner rice cooking pan have be moderately scratch at arrival . the reason be probably that the factory simply put the measure cup and spatula in a thin plastic wrap and place they in the cooking pan . as a result , the scratch be make during shipping . if they have use some foam wrap instead , it would not have cause the scratch . I be surprise that this top-ranked rice cooker maker would not have think of this issue . +362 RiceCooker POS 5 today be the first time I use the Aroma Arc Rice Cooker . I do read the instruction and follow they and the first batch turn out light and fluffy . I also use the special rice strainer to wash the rice before cooking and that be so much easier than use a mesh strainer . I use chicken broth for the liquid and add a splash of cooking oil and thus no rice stick to the pan and clean up be a breeze . I have a steamer for my wok but do not use the steamer that come with the rice cooker . I imagine the steamer work just fine and I look forward to use it while cook a batch of rice in the near future . the manual and Quick View instruction be very easy to follow and complete . I receive the rice cooker in record time and it be package very well in addition to the retail shelf box . so far I be a happy aroma Arc Rice Cooker customer and will update this review if the situation change . +616 RiceCooker NEG 1 I buy this for the rice cooker and steam together feature but honestly would be use the steamer much more than the rice cooker . so my first try with it , follow direction to the letter ... which be not difficult since it have a automatic timer that stop when it say it be do . I use a bunch of broccoli as my first go around and the direction say only 1\/4 cup of water , I press steam and 5 minute later the timer be go off and it stop . -lrb- which the direction that broccoli would be about only 5 minute as well -rrb- I check it . not even close to be cook . in matter of fact , still cold . so I try it again and be tooling around the house not realize how much time have go by and probably 20 or so minute later -lrb- maybe more ? -rrb- the timer again go off and it stop . I check it and my wonderful broccoli have turn into a pile of mush . I may as well go back to over the oven type steam at this point . I be in the process of boxing it up for a return asap . +141 RiceCooker POS 5 . . be a replacement for one I lose when my apartment burn down . I know exactly which unit to look for on Amazon . this product produce the best rice each and every time , be easy to use , clean and store . it have plenty of capacity , and allow one to cook a complete meal , if require , with the steam tray on top . very efficient . +879 RiceCooker NEG 1 Mine last more than three week -lrb- about a year -rrb- . my larger aroma cooker have be in use for 20 year and be still go strong ! oh , and as point out by other , it be a three cook cup cooker , not six . shame on B&D; . +429 RiceCooker POS 5 great rice cooker . it can cook brown rice very well and I love it so much . +44 RiceCooker POS 5 I really like this cooker compare to other open cooker . due to this close lid , no mess while cooking rice . at least 80 % less mess compare to regular rice cooker where they spill water and mess a lot . +368 RiceCooker POS 5 I never even hear of Rice Cookers until a couple of month ago ... then I come across the Sanyo ecj-s35 3.5 cup Rice Cooker . now it be like : how do I ever live without one ? the 3.5 -lrb- japanese -rrb- cup capacity be perfect for singles or couple . it be cute , easy to clean , have a convenient handle and retractable cord , have setting for brown rice and bread baking and most importantly of all ... it make Perfect Rice ! every time . as good as or better than a Sushi bar or chinese Restaurant . brown Rice from the health food store or white Sushi Rice from Jewel come out perfectly cook every single time . it have a `` keep warm '' function that keep the rice at a perfect serve temperature for hour . I let it sit for 10 hour once and the rice be still near perfect . Cleaning be a breeze as rice do not stick to the titanium coated pot and the inner lid pop off in a instant for easy cleaning . the include accessory be just a 1 japanese cup measure cup -lrb- about 7\/8 USA cup -rrb- , a specially design Spatula for scoop out the rice and a small cookbook . the only thing that be not absolutely perfect about this Rice Cooker be that the solid plastic foot allow it to slide backwards when you push the button on the front and the `` end of cooking '' chime be on the quiet side . otherwise this be about the best kitchen appliance ever . if you like rice , you just gotta get one right now ! -lrb- unless you need a bigger model -rrb- +762 RiceCooker POS 5 this product be excellent . Upto specification . the service by Amazon be excellent . I buy all my future article only from Amazon +978 RiceCooker POS 4 I just get this cooker today , so durability be not something I can rate yet . these be the thing I like ; 1 . no plastic . this be important for I . both the bottom rice cooker and the steamer tray be metal . the lid be glass . 2 . nice and compact . I cook for my wife and myself , so I do not something huge , and of course storage space be always limit . the steamer tray be small ; on the other hand , the manual claim that this can cook up to 5 cup of rice . 3 . Easy cleanup . yes some of the rice make a gooey mess in the bottom , but a little soak take it all right out . 4 . inexpensive . 5 . multi-purpose . I have use it once so far , and here 's what I do . I put some brown rice in the bottom rice cooker , and some salmon , broccoli and cauliflower in the steamer tray . the manual say nothing about steam anything other than veggy , but I think I would try it . the result : Excellent . the salmon be cook to perfection , and so be the vegetable . so I have a complete , tasty , and healthy meal , all in one cooker , and so long as I be prepare to let the bowl and the tray soak for a bit , cleanup be a breeze . oh and you can make soup , stew , etc. instead of cooking rice . it be not a large-capacity cooker but it would make plenty of stew for two people . thing I do not like : 1 . no timer . it apparently sens when the steam be go , and then switch to `` warmer '' mode automatically . the only control be a switch that go from `` cook '' to `` warmer . '' this also mean that you have to unplug it to turn it off , though that do not bother I . that be about the only thing I have to carp about so far . it do not bubble or spit at all . if I can get at least three or four year of regular -lrb- and by regular I mean nearly daily -rrb- use out of this thing , I 'll consider it a extremely good value . Update June 2010 : ok sometimes it do bubble and spit a bit . nothing terrible . I have use it probably 25 time altogether without any problem . consider the low purchase price , I would call this thing a good value . I would buy it again . +974 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy the aroma arc 150sb 20 cup digital rice cooker and food steamer and it do everything I want it for and more . I use it on a daily basis . +254 RiceCooker POS 5 Perfect rice everytime , with the add delight of `` Twinkle , Twinkle Little Star '' when it set off for the cooking journey . it also make perfect hot cereal from steel-cut oats . I totally recommend this rice cooker . +76 RiceCooker POS 4 Perfect rice every time . White , brown it do not matter . the start up timer be geat . timer can be set for a completion time . the warming feature keep the rice edible for about a hour after cooking be finish if you be not too fussy . one annoying thing be that the countdown timer only become active in the last 10min . if you be syncronise the completion time for food this be kind of a nuisance . the other annoying thing be that it cook very slow . there other model that cook faster , but they be more expensive . +334 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy it about 2 year ago from Amazon for rice & rice soup cooking . it be the best rice cooker I ever have . I use it for , - Rice cook : timer cook steam rice after 8 hour , it still taste like fresh . you can start the cook in the morning . the rice will be ready when you get back from work in the evening . it use only 10w\/hour for keep it warm . - Rice soup : almost every night , I add in 2tb oat meal & 3 tb rice & 3cup water into the slow cooker , and set it to 6 hour for slow cooking . in the morning morning , it have my rice soup do . it be so very well make with titanium , simply the best quality . +500 RiceCooker NEU 3 so the first one that arrive have a lid that be a little too small . it do not perfectly close the rice pot , and the lid wobble on the top of the pot . get a replacement , and then the lid work out ok . the rice cooker be ok , but not perfect . the rice at the bottom get kinda dry , and the rice on the top be a little too wet . after its do cooking , you have to stir the rice around abit , pop the lid back on , and let it sit on `` warm '' for another 5-10 minute . then you 'll get a perfectly cook rice . +532 RiceCooker POS 4 my parent have this aroma rice cooker , whereas I have a cheaper black and Decker at my own apartment . so I have experience with rice cooker and I must say that this aroma one be pretty good . for one thing , I like the lock lid , as oppose to a removable glass lid -lrb- like on my black and Decker -rrb- with a hole in it . this mean less clean-up . however , it also mean that the cooking vessel can not serve as its own pot that you could just put directly into the fridge with leftovers ; cheaper rice cooker with glass lid effectively increase you storage capacity , in a way . but it be a minor quibble . best of all , this aroma unit consistently make good rice without ever burn the bottom or produce a sticky starchy layer at the bottom . my black and Decker , as good as it be , ALWAYS produce a slightly toast starchy layer at the bottom . the unit be not super-fast , but not slow either . I can make two cup of dry brown rice in about 40 minute . this unit be not huge , though , and I do not think it can make more than three dry cup of brown rice . if you be cook for more than two people , you might want to get larger unit . lastly , the steam vent do occasionally produce some excess water which drip out of the unit onto the surround area . it be only do this once so far , but make sure to keep a eye out if you have papers or other electronics nearby . +34 RiceCooker NEG 1 I recently buy this rice cooker but return it co it be very small than expect . the product info say it be a 3 cup rice cooker but please be aware that it be 3 cup of cook rice , or 1.5 cup of uncooked rice . most of the rice cooker in the market I have see describe they rice cooker in cup in term of uncooked rice . +163 RiceCooker POS 5 I have use 3 time only so far but absolutely no problem . the instruction say to put a little oil at the bottom before rice & water so that it will not stick or burn , I do this the first 2 time and no sticking or burning , but I forget the oil the 3rd time and it do burn the bottom , nothing that a 10 minute soak do not take care of . so far I be happy with this little cute and cheap machine . +829 RiceCooker POS 5 after year of struggle to cook a variety of rice perfectly and consistently on the stovetop , I now own a machine that do the job . I have only own my ns-lac05 for about two week but , so far , I could not be more pleased with it . I have cook a mixed whole grain rice call Black Japonica , as well as brown basmatus , several time each and every batch have come out perfectly . for my purpose , the most valuable feature of this machine be the timer . I put the rice and water in the cooker before go to work in the morning , set the timer for 8:00 p.m. , and have perfect , warm rice wait for I when I get home from the gym . once the rice be do cooking , the machine automatically go into `` keep warm '' mode ... so I have nothing to worry about if I get hang up at work or stay at the gym longer than plan . Perfect rice be wait for I . this cooker with timer make eat healthy whole grain possible even with busy schedule and a lack of the patience necessary to wait a hour after arrive home to eat dinner . although the size of this cooker sound small -lrb- 3-cup -rrb- , it be perfect for solo eater up to dinner party of 6 . well worth the money ... enjoy ! +668 RiceCooker NEG 1 purchase this rice cooker on Amazon 18 month ago . it work fine until last month when it `` stick '' in the `` keep warm button '' on mode . can not turn the unit off and none of the other button work . the unit be completely useless in this mode and a fire hazard . contact Sanyo offer no help . they customer service say take it you you local small appliance repair service . the nearest one they suggest be 100 mile away and be only play a phone message . there be no repair instruction in the manual , so part number be not available . the unit be manufacture in China . it appear to be a `` if it work keep it , if it break put it in the land fill '' design . not a good item . do not purchase this unit . +283 RiceCooker POS 5 Perfect rice cooker for 2 retired people . Works as well as my larger one but with perfect smaller portion . no more waste ! +842 RiceCooker POS 5 this be a great rice cooker for those who live alone -- just the right size . have use it twice since get and it be so simple to use and easy to clean . +502 RiceCooker POS 5 I give my adult child these Zojirushi rice cooker for Christmas gift last year . yesterday -- while do some holiday shopping for this year -- both of they comment about how much they love the cooker . they be very impressed with how good the rice always turn out and how easy it be to clean the interior bowl . +831 RiceCooker NEG 1 I order this item in May of 2012 and use it very moderately\/decently almost every day . however yesterday i.e. in less than two month it quit work its useless now . since it be 10 day past amazon return window i will need to trash it . what a waste of money . +472 RiceCooker POS 5 I receive this rice maker about a week ago and be extremely happy with my purchase . I buy this to replace my cuisinart 4 cup rice maker which I have for about 4 year and always boil over spilling starchy liquid all over my counter and make rice that be either mushy or hard . I have use my new aroma rice make daily since I get it and have make brown rice , white jasmine rice and quinoa all will excellent result . for both the rice and quinoa , individual grain be detectable , everything be fluffy and not under cook or over cook in the least . I use the measurement specify by the manual for brown rice add 3\/4 cup water -lrb- base on the measure cup provide with the machine -rrb- for each cup of rice I cook , rinse the rice well , do not soak beforehand , and do let my rice and quinoa sit for about 10 minute after the cook button have pop up undisturbed to make sure it be fully steam . I have not have the rice stick to the bottom and have not have any starchy liquid spilling from my machine -lrb- yay ! -rrb- . I do notice that , as some other reviewer note , the cook light do come on the machine when you plug it in rather than the warm light . but I be not really sure that this be a issue . seem like not much of a big deal to I as the rice do not really start cooking until you push the cook button down . once cooking be complete and the button pop up the warm light come on . should you purchase this rice maker ? if you be look for a machine that steam rice well , do not leak , and have a great price tag , I say go for it . +210 RiceCooker POS 5 this Sanyo make the best rice we have ever have anywhere and we live in Asia for eight year . I realize that some reviewer have have problem with they unit but we be among the many who be able to plug it in , turn it on , and watch it produce perfect , very tasty , white or brown rice from the start . and cleanup take about 20 seconds . no frothy , starchy boil-over . just wipe out the titanium pot and you be ready for the next batch of rice . +14 RiceCooker POS 5 Got this as a wedding gift and have use it twice so far -lrb- for rice -rrb- . the rice have come out great both time ! I be use to make -lrb- and screw up -rrb- rice in those traditional glass-lid cooker . obviously , I do not have a talent for the skill . this cooker do the job just right . I be look forward to make bread with it as well , so that 'll be the next project for the wifey . my only complaint be that they do not make one of these in a larger capacity -lrb- i.e. 5 cup + -rrb- ! this be a pretty premature review consider we have only use the cooker twice so far , so hopefully it do not go die on we ! \* knock on wood \* +590 RiceCooker NEG 1 this be a simple little rice cooker that work fine ... for about two month . one day it just stop work in the middle of cook some rice . this seem to be a common problem with this product and I can not recommend it . +493 RiceCooker POS 5 I buy a rice cooker for the first time in my life . after read other people review I decide to try out this one . it be worth it . I use the cooker 2 or 3 time a week . and it work great . I have not have any problem with it so far . only one thing I do not like about this cooker be that it be really small and the cup be small too . if you have a bigger family then this be not for you . it be for the small family . very much recommend . +438 RiceCooker POS 5 this rice cooker be great ! cook the rice perfectly and keep it fresh for day !

I mostly use they indoors , so not sure how they would stand up to rugged daily outdoor use . be wear they every day around the house now for almost a year . so far , so good . +201 Sandal POS 4 and like the first pair own , it take some breaking in of the sandal . can hurt the foot for awhile . +469 Sandal NEG 2 good service ... come on time ... son love the look butttttttttttttttt he be a true size 11 and I order XL -lrb- 11-12 -rrb- ... he heal be hang off the back of the sandal ... too bad ... now I have to go through he hassel of return and exchange the christmas gift what a pain ... i guess that be the pitfall of on_line shopping -lrb- sorry amazon -rrb- now after read other review I know this fact ... tooooooo late +643 Sandal NEU 3 I like but have to be careful not to trip or fall out of sandal with narrow foot and heal and no backstrap . +274 Sandal POS 5 a great fitting , well-constructed , reasonably-priced sandal .

I buy a pair when I go to cali a few year ago , she call they dingy and make I get rid of they , I regret it ! I finally insist on buy these . they be the best sandal hand down . do not let the price sway you . these will become you every day sandal . they have superior craftsmanship and be make of very durable leather material . the sole be very durable and can withstand day to day walk on concrete sidewalk .

I wear they every day for 5 month and plan to buy more this spring . +509 Sandal POS 5 I be very pleased with the keen shoe and with backcountry . the shoe fit well and be extremely comfortable . for I , they fit true to size . I normally wear a size 10.5-11 -lrb- usually 11 -rrb- and order a size 11 and the fit be perfect . I would recommend both the shoe and backcountry and will order from they again after I wear these out . +347 Sandal POS 5 this be the best smell body wash . a friend give it to I and I immediately want to purchase a back up bottle . it be hard to find so she go and buy I two more from she local store . it be very soothing . +669 Sandal POS 5 buy a new boat so need new boat shoe . these topsider be so comfortable and well make ! +504 Sandal POS 5 this be my first pair of sandal from Keen .

I do miss the different color rubber on the side , but that minor . plus , theyre cheaper and more `` eco-friendly '' than the leather ! +812 Sandal POS 4 these sandal really protect the foot , and be great for hike especially through water . they have good support and be comfortable to wear all day long . rate this product 4 of 5 star because there be a defect on one of the sandal where the seam come undo by the inside of the right heel . this defect may have be a fluke , and I be sad to return such a comfortable pair of all terrain sandal . however , the company -lrb- island surf -rrb- smoothly accomodate my return at no cost . +652 Sandal POS 4 I read the review for these sandal and they seem great . they be make of solid quality material , however if you have wide foot like I , these sandal be bind to give you blister . beware and remember to break they in before you begin to use they on a daily basis . once they be break into , they feel really comfortable and snug for you foot . I only give these four star because of my blister . +741 Sandal NEG 1 this be a cheap plastic ill fitting shoe , like the kind you could get at Walgreen 's for $ 6.99 . do not waste you money . +122 Sandal POS 5 these be my `` go to '' sandal . always by the door for outing or just a quick trip to the bank . comfortable as always and cute . +751 Sandal POS 5 Newport H2 full Sandal - Ladies these be a extremely comfortable , all purpose sandal if you only want to bring along one pair of shoe to hike , slog in mud , run , dive into the surf , climb rock , traverse a stream , or just walk around the mall and to be able to just wash they out at night and start anew in the morning . +275 Sandal POS 4 this be my second pair of rainbow sandal , and I believe I will continue to be a loyal customer to the brand . you will not find a better quality sandal -lrb- and they guarantee a new pair if the old pair ` break ' before you wear through the sole ... check website -rrb- . the only reason I get rid of my old pair be mold ... and it be my own fault . they be leather , I would use they in water and then not properly washed\/dried they . this be my reason for hemp this time around . I must admit that the leather be slightly more compfortable , but the hemp be still better than any of that synthetic bologna . be prepare for you skin to be rub raw the first time you wear they for a long walk ... but after you callus up , it be smooth sailing . such be the life of a sandal wearer . +846 Sandal POS 5 hello all ! I receive my birkenstock as a graduation present when I graduate high school back in 2003 . Ladies and Gentlemen , these be remarkable sandal . amazingly , they be still hold up ! they do show sign of wear e.g. some of the cork be look old and crackly , but they still feel wonderful on my foot . I suspect I 'll still get another few year out of they . note that I mostly wear these on vacation and weekend . I have read other review about how the leather upper can cut into you foot . this happen to I the first week or so that I have the sandal . the person and the Birkenstock store alert I to this , tell I that they need some breaking in time . she also mention that it could give you blister while the leather soften . just be patient guy . like every good leather shoe , this one need time to break in . give it some time and the sandal will last you for year . . decade in my case ! +477 Sandal POS 5 Rainbow sandal be the best flip-flop sandal that be on the market . they fit well and will outwear any other sandal by 2 to 1 . the quality be very good but not quite the heavy duty rainbow that I use to buy in the late 1970 's . Island Surf be a very reliable supplier who ship very quickly which I appreciate . the product and seller be highly recommend . +321 Sandal POS 4 product arrive on time as promise . color be good . it will require a lot of break in since it seem stiffer than other sandal plus the toe splitter seem to pinch some . +841 Sandal POS 4 buy these shoe for beachwear and I love they . look great and fit great . feel kind of funny on the sole of you foot . they have little ridge and bump on the foot bed that you have to get use to . I really do not like the feel on the bottom of my foot but sand get inside too and I do not like the feel of that either BUT they be a open shoe and I know that when I buy they . all in all they be a classy look pice of footwear . +880 Sandal POS 5 I plan on wear this show hike in Costa Rica . I will update this review with my experience . I want a hike shoe that could dry quickly in a humid jungle environment , offer foot protection from thorn , and offer decent sole support . about the shoe : this be really a sandal with a proper hiking sole . I be surprise by how heavy duty the sole be - nearly a inch thick , and with greater cushioning than any tennis shoe . the sole perform wonderfully well whether you be carry a 20 lb pack or walk around with no weight . the upper be extremely well construct . it will not break and be build to last . see other review for the durability of the shoe - one reviewer log 1200 mile in these . could not be happier with a shoe for hike . +158 Sandal POS 5 hello , I would like to buy a pair of Birkenstock Arizona shoe from you . I have they before and know my size but I do not understand you size chart . I would need Europa size 40 -lrb- 9-9 .5 US -rrb- and c-d wide or regular wide . Unfortunatelly I can see the drop down size box but can not view the right side of the drop down text . and I can not make the box larger . any suggestion ? gabi.glaezer@web.de +218 Sandal POS 4 great support . great athletic look . great fit . my husband have a average width foot . my husband take these shoe on a cruise and wear they the whole day , from breakfast through dinner . +811 Sandal POS 4 I originally buy my regular size and have to return they . unfortunately it be to another seller beside Amazon and I have to pay return shipping . this time I order a half size larger and be please with the fit . return shipping be include but I do not need it . the shoe wear confortably and will even be a little better when broken-in . overall happy and can not wait for next summer to wear they regularly . +964 Sandal POS 5 great item fast shipping . will order from again . item be better then what be showen in photo . the only thing that would make they better would be if they be free . +499 Sandal NEG 2 toe strap break after just two summer of wear !!!! bought Sperry for the brand quality reputation very disappointed . . I guess this seem to be a current problem for this product though . +51 Sandal POS 5 I return the sandal because it be a bit too small . I order a different shoe and I really like it . the most comfy sandal I own . sale people on phone very helpful and friendly . +464 Sandal POS 5 have already buy and wear a pair of keen on a rafting trip , I convince my husband , who have difficulty finding shoe that fit comfortably , that he would need the Keen Newports for we upcoming adventure trip to the Galapagos Islands . he be pessimistic , but when they arrive , he try they on , walk around the house a bit , and decide they seem to feel okay . after nine day of hiking , and navigate very rough lava rock terrain , not to mention , mud , saltwater , etc. he be extremely pleased with they performance , ease of clean up , and most of all COMFORT !!! for once , he easily agree the wife be right !! I also be very happy with how quickly the Keens be deliver after order on Amazon , as we be down to the wire on preparation for this amazing trip ! my daughter also buy a pair for the trip and love they as well ! +494 Sandal POS 5 I buy a pair of these sandal 3 summer ago and I must say they be best sandal I have ever own . they be very durable and the only reason i be buy a new pair be because my dog turn my other into a chew toy . for those of you who have sweaty foot , they be perfect . there be no cloth to absorb the moisture and make they stink like other sandal with the cushy insole . I would recommend buy one size larger than you regular sneaker size . they do tend to run a little on the small side . +877 Sandal POS 5 the inside sole of this shoe feel like suede and be very soothing to the foot , along with the support contour that I need . I prefer the birkibuc to the suede strap because bircubuc hold its shape when the shoe be off so you can slip you foot right in where suede collapse and you have to wriggle in . I be not crazy about the color -- it be kind of a stone cold gray and I would have prefer some warmer brown tone -- but I have already exchange the shoe two time and do not want to do it again . but for comfort I be completely satisfy . +650 Sandal POS 5 I fall in love with Birkenstocks when I live in Germany . after 10 year of faithful service , my birk be all wear out so I go search for replacement . aside from severe sticker shock at the US price -lrb- yes - they have birkenstock outlet in Germany -rrb- this source be perfect with lot of variety and choice . I be a huge fan of the soft footbed and caution woman with average width foot to buy the `` narrow '' birk instead of the regular for better fit . +336 Sandal POS 5 a excellent flip flop aka . Thong . this be my second pair . first pair last three year . definitely recommend . I would buy again . +112 Sandal POS 5 I buy one pair and they be so comfortable and good look that I immediately purchase a second pair which I get today . do not know how well they will wear but I have never have a problem with timberland +496 Sandal POS 4 I get my exercise by walk in chest deep water . the surface I walk on be smooth -lrb- too smooth , occasionally -rrb- but these shoe keep I move well . they fit well and be very comfortable . I be have some difficulty become accustomed to the rubbing of my toe on the interior of the shoe but I will , no doubt , become inure . I be pleased with they . mike hogan +186 Sandal POS 5 the zory show up in reasonable time and be exactly as describe ... the leather take a few wearing to loosen up , but it be a comfortable fit and like the color ! +804 Sandal NEG 1 First off these sandal be insanely comfortable and wonderfully versatile . by the look of they you would think they be well make and rugged ... and the sole be , the upper however be not . the nylon webbing that look as though it cross at the ankle to provide strength actually stop just under the fake suede and spandex and be only hold on by those 2 row of thread . because of this my pair last less than a week of mixed use on a boat and on land walk 5 mile at most before the heal webbing tear off . if the webbing actually meet and cross in the ankle they would be perfect , unfortunately they choose not to do that . I would call this a design flaw but it be clearly do on purpose though I can not imagine save 1 inch of nylon webbing would make or break the cost of the sandal . at least the return policy be great , there be absolutely no problem get my money back , customer service be wonderful . +575 Sandal POS 5 these be still the best sandal on the market . they be so comfortable that I wear mine every day . I especially like they when I be work on my foot for long period of time . they give excellent support and I never get a back ache . they look great too ! +64 Sandal POS 5 I buy these shoe for both my husband and myself for a 2-week trip through Costa Rica . they handle hike through jungle , stream , ocean , rock , and volcano equally well . the toe protection be great to prevent stubbed toe , and in my case make I feel a little bit better about not scoop up a scorpion . best of all , my foot feel great and I have no blister , even after day of 5 mile hike . they be not the prettiest shoe ever , but as far as functionality and comfort go , I will stick with keen from now on ! +17 Sandal POS 4 I like these sandal very much , but what to do when the lace break ? I have send keen two e-mail ask this question -- and have receive no reply . no shoe store that I have visit have ever see lace like these -lrb- bungee-cord style -rrb- . any suggestion ? +630 Sandal POS 5 these be excellent sandal . I have not have they long , so can not comment on durability , but they be comfortable , supportive and good for moderate walk -lrb- i.e. 2 hour on dirt trail with some ascent\/descent -rrb- . think of they as a light hike shoe which can also get wet and allow you foot to breath . best sandal I have ever buy . +40 Sandal NEG 1 since these be the most expensive I think they would be the best , triple stack . wrong . the strap be just uncomfortable and create friction burn in several different part of my foot . other flip flop do not do this . I be disappointed and would like to return they . +311 Sandal POS 5 my husband have a old pair of sandal that need to be replace and he find these at the Clark 's store in black . he want brown so we look online and find these . he love they . very comfy and good support . +378 Sandal POS 5 this be avery comfortable shoe that you can wear all day . I would recommend this shoe over the loose slip-on and off sandal or flip-flop . you will have as much support as you can get from a close in shoe . I love mine ! +780 Sandal POS 4 I have be wear these nearly every day since I get they to replace a pair of lose Teva flipflop . I find the leather to be super comfortable . +266 Sandal POS 5 the hemp one be just as comfortable and half the price . if you get they wet ... let they dry and they 'll be fine . +269 Sandal POS 4 I have worn birk for year . these be just as comfortable as I would expect . however , this be the first pair I have own where the front and back strap be connect instead of different piece of material . after wear these for a month or so , the material that connect the two strap come unglued from the side of the footbed . this be exactly where the shoe bend when I walk , so this seem like a design flaw to I . +447 Sandal POS 4 Perfect shoe for outdoors , just hose they off and they look great . this be my second pair and they last a long time . the price be very good . +343 Sandal POS 5 I have be wear birkenstock shoe now for over 10 year very little or no lower back issue and they form to you foot . once you wear they that be all almost that you will weaqr exxcept go out dressy . +525 Sandal POS 5 this be my husband 3rd pair of birk . he love they and just have too many mile on the old one . +818 Sandal POS 5 I have own similar Birkenstocks before , and I order this only because I need new one . my old Birkenstocks last I a good three year , and I would still wear they , but unfortunately , I lose one of the shoe . for I , I have no trouble break into these ultra comfortable shoe . I do advise , however , that although these shoe be comfortable , they be not good for extremely long walk because the arc can tire you foot out faster than usual . I love how I can wear just about anything with these sandal , and I also love how it be not shape like some cheap flip-flop . they do not look waterproof , but they handle water just fine , and they can last way longer than Rainbows if you take care of they . overall , I strongly recommend try these shoe ! +827 Sandal POS 5 very happy with the product . it be what be expect and the service be excellent . +817 Sandal POS 5 I break these in for a week after buy they , then hike 26 mile with they in and out of the river over a weekend . they hold up great , have great traction even in the water , and do not produce a single hot spot , blister , or anything else on my foot . hose they off when I be do and they still look great for wear around town if I want to . rock do get stick between the sole and you foot when hike river bottom , but the same be true for everyone else with I as well , whether they have on tennis shoe , water shoe , or sandal . I buy a 1\/2 size bigger than I normally wear and they fit perfect . +375 Sandal POS 5 I remember wear birkinstock as a child and that they be some of the most comfortable sandal ever make . I be so disappointed when I out grow they . now , as a adult , I decide to try they out again . this be the best deal I could find for a great pair in a great color . they come out of the box hard , however after a few wear they soften up and conform to you foot . +853 Sandal POS 5 they fit great and be very comfortable . I would highly recommend they . they be a little pricey for the product . +327 Sandal POS 4 Ok , there be no get around it . Birks - you either like 'em or you hate 'em . I personally think they be ugly . BUT , I have ugly foot too . wide , flat arch and short toe . these sandal just feel PERFECT for my foot . I get they to wear on the weekend in the summer . I be very happy I try these and have become one of the convert to the Birkenstock lifestyle ! bottom line : ugly but oh so comfy ! +535 Sandal POS 5 this be just what I be look for .

I would like to wear it all the summer . the speed be very fast and the shoe just what I want +988 Sandal POS 5 when I first get these sandal , I hate they . they be hard on the bottom and leave I red mark on my foot . BUT IT 's OKAY . it be worth the wait . wear they for about a week or two and it will be smooth sailing from there . I try to wear these whenever I can because they be so much more comfortable than shoe . these sandal be perfect for summer . I also have very sweaty foot . Whenever I wear my old sandal , the bottom would smell and feel sticky the end of the day . however , the problem do not seem to come up anymore . smell and sticky feeling free . one thing I do not like be that although you can get they wet , I try not to . the water tend to change the color of you sandal into a dark old brown look color . +287 Sandal POS 5 I purchase a pair of these in 2004 -lrb- it be now 2012 -rrb- and the strap between the toe finally break . I would wear these for about 6-8 month out of the year . the only reason they break today be because I be out in some really sticky and deep mud and the suction from I pull my foot out finish they off . they be very durable as I have be hike with they , and have wear they as rigorously as any shoe . I just purchase a new pair . I remember the break-in period to be about 2 day -lrb- form the leather in between the toe -rrb- and they will float in water and water do not ruin the leather in any way that I can think . best of all these do not leave any black stuff on you foot !! +649 Sandal POS 5 a excellent price for this purchase . fit be perfect , and we be well satisfied . will be order more in the future . +599 Sandal POS 5 these sandal be my son favorite . he really enjoy the feeling of the pointed cushion insole . the fit be true to size . +265 Sandal POS 4 I love these sandal . I wear mine all the time , so I order some for my boyfriend . I think that they would fit because he wear a 9.5 and I order he a men ' medium -lrb- 9.5-10 .5 -rrb- , but they be too small . the shoe last forever and form to you foot , so I definitely recommend they , but I would suggest go up a size if you be order online and can not try they on . +252 Sandal POS 5 my husband love these sandal . he be a general contractor and usually wear boot , and be notoriously hard on shoe . these sandal have last for 4 year ! they be substantial enough to provide support and protection , and the fit be adjustable , with the bungie cord . waterproof , sweat proof , odor proof . they be finally wear out and I can not order more from this site , because - I CA not see what SIZE THEY be ! even if I miss it somewhere , it should be more noticeable . jeeze . find what you be look for , they have it for a great price , but I do not want to end up with sandal for decoration if they be the wrong size ! +570 Sandal POS 5 I get they fast and be very happy with they ! I think I get more then what I pay for they -lrb- well make -rrb- . I 'll live in they this summer and many more . thank you ! +139 Sandal POS 5 this be more than a flip flop . it be a comfort sandle . my son wear these year round and prefer the double stack because it be much more comfortable and have more support . he be on he 3rd pair . +554 Sandal NEG 2 the product look good and appear very sturdy . however , after break they in for a few day around the house I wear they on vacation and develop a really nasty blister\/scab on the top of my left foot . it be really sore and ugly . I do not do anything more than walk around the house and the beach . I be hopeful this will not happen again but certainly not a good first impression of the product . +395 Sandal POS 5 these be incredibly comfortable , durable , and nice-looking footwear . I wish I have enough pair to last the rest of my life ! +695 Sandal POS 5 I be go on a camping trip that involve cave walking and learn at the last minute my sneaker would not be appropriate and be advise to buy a pair of Keens .

I would recommend these sandal to anyone look for a quality pair of flip-flop . +301 Sandal NEU 3 I receive these flip-flop as a anniversary gift from my wife . I be expect the old version of the reef with the really squishy bottom . it be not those , I do not think reef make that kind anymore , which be really a shame because they be incredibly comfortable . as I wear they in , they be get more comfortable , but not quite what I be hope . they be still excellent shoe and I would recommend they if you be look for a basic black flop that go with a lot of different thing . +474 Sandal POS 5 these shoe be amazing . yes they be expensive but they fit so well and last so long . if you be in a moderate climate I do not know how you could justify not have a pair ! +21 Sandal POS 5 best sandle I have own . period . if you be think about get they , but not sure you want to spend the $ $ $ , I would recommend go for it . they be extremely comfortable -lrb- once break in -rrb- , and very durable ... which mean you 'll have em ' for awhile . +602 Sandal POS 5 I have many pair of birkenstock ... I rarely wear any other shoe . the Madrid style have the same incredibly adaptive and support foot bed with the style of the original Dr. scholl sandal -lrb- much more comfortable -rrb- . because there be only one strap across the front , they behave more like a flip flop than other style I own . if you be use to that , you 'll have no problem with they . as always , the foot bed break in quickly . -lrb- tip : put they on after a hot shower while you foot be steamy warm , they 'll just mold around you foot -rrb- . the silver be a nice muted metallic which allow you to dress they up or down . this particular style might not be the best for long walk -lrb- give the single strap -rrb- but they be still super comfortable . +563 Sandal POS 4 the product be great -- my second pair . when they break in and mold to you foot , they be extremely comfortable . the sizing be not perfect . the 8.5-9 .5 barely fit a size 9 and feel small . the 9.5-10 .5 be more comfortable , but look a little too big . if in doubt , go with the larger sizing . +729 Sandal POS 5 these be very comfortable sandal after break in . you need some time to make they fit , so do not buy a pair for tomorrow 's beach party . strap be very tight in the beginning . you may think they be impossible to wear tight . I recommend to get a pair in advance and wear they around house 'til they fit . I would say it 'll take about a week to make they comfortable to wear . but after they become yours , you feel like they be tailor make for you . +258 Sandal POS 5 I already have a pair but buy backup . I love they . these be so much better than the one with the thin leather strap too . +172 Sandal POS 5 great deck shoe with good non-slip bottom and design for the serious sailor , where they can get wet ... and keep go . the only sandal that keep you toe in place when you be trip over Genoa track-car and deck-cleat . +503 Sandal POS 4 they be high quality , just a little bigger than i be expect . obviously rainbow be great and the warranty be unbelievable . they always look good +516 Sandal POS 5 these keen be literally life saver for I . after go down some class 4 's in a sit-on-top fishing kayak on the Cumberland River , I have to climb lot of rock . if not for these shoe , the outcome may have be different . they do get gravel in they sometimes , but not that big of a deal . great shoe , WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND !!! +758 Sandal NEU 3 good shoe , but ...

I finally have enough of they realize that there must be a better option out there . a friend recommend these to I over reef . I decide to order a pair of both . I order these in Sand Colored x-large -lrb- 11-12 -rrb- . I be a pretty consistent size 11 across the board and find these to fit I perfectly . for reference , I also order the reef man 's Fanning Flip Flop these Rainbow flip flop will satisfy the traditionalist , favor a simpler design , a ultra-soft surface and great arch support . the reef 's have a raise heel that really help keep they on my foot , a spongy surface , and be also very comfortable . out of the box , I have have a slight preference for the reef 's , prefer the way they stay on my foot while I walk . after wear the reef 's for a day , the strap start to dig into my right foot , which be slightly smaller than my left , create a blister . I have since be wear the Rainbows a bit more and be start to feel almost as comfortable wear they as the reef which do stick to my foot better . these do not cause I any blister . overall , I would say that the Rainbows be a bit more comfortable , but need break in more than the reef which be more effortless to walk in . if it be not for the blister , the reef would be the clear favorite to I . I think both pair of flip flop just need break in a little more and my foot need a little bit of a callus build up . I be very happy with both pair of flip flop and you could not go wrong with either . +919 Sandal POS 5 I buy a pair for a Kauai and Maui trip last March . I end up wear they everywhere for everything . I try they on in a shoe store so I get a perfect fit , which I highly recommend . I wear a size 10 normally and I have wide foot . these be 9 1\/2 and fit I perfectly . it be a little bit of effort to put they on and I normally do not cinch they down . if I be hike or need they totally solid for hike and the like , then I tighten they down . they be very comfortable either way . I stop notice they at all after a day or two . obviously they will not give ankle support , but for day hike with a day pack they be perfect . they be just right for Hawaii , which be so humid and muddy . I be constantly hose off my shoe . throw they in the wash machine and they look new again . they like any kind of fresh or salt water activity and they be very durable and of course very protective of you toe . I think they look very good , too . I put they on over thin nylon sock and then directly into my fin for snorkeling , since my fin have a large foot bed . just put on you fin and take off you fin . it be so convenient . the only complaint I have be that I do notice some foot odor , even though they be synthetic , after two week of daily use . I think my foot be probably less stinky than most people , but give the constant humidity and wet environment in a closed toe shoe , I do not blame the shoe and it be not that bad of a problem . you can just throw they in the wash machine when they start to smell , too . I still wear my old super durable and comfortable Teva 's for everyday stuff , but for anything else , short of backpacking , I put on my keen h2 's and forget about my foot . +58 Sandal POS 5 I have take these sandal everywhere and love love love they . they be non-slip for kayake where you have to launch the boat from rocky shore . they be sturdy enough for hike in hilly muddy area and , well , they be sandal , so you can jump into the waterfall at the end of the hike and do not have to take you shoe or sock off : -rrb- they have also get the Keene high arch , support , and wide foot bed , which be rare to find in a sandal , let alone a shoe . +748 Sandal NEU 3 these be very cute and I like the streamline look of they . I need the high Birk 's arch , though and these do not give I the support of other Birk 's . also , the material of the thong part feel harsh between my toe -- it be not quite as soft as regular flip flop . for normal foot that do not need the extra arch support and be use to have something between they toe , I recommend these . I wish I could have keep they , as they would have be perfect for work in my garden ! +341 Sandal POS 4 I have a leather pair of Rainbows and they be slippery when they get wet . these flipflop be great for all situation . only have to break they in for a day and they fit like a glove . +440 Sandal POS 5 buy footwear online can be tricky . I want this specific sandal but they be hard to find in winter even in San Diego . I try other reef model on for size and order base on that -lrb- I be a 11-12 eee depend on the brand -rrb- . the look , fit and feel be just what I be look for-great sandal ! +683 Sandal NEU 3 I find the softbed much more comfortable than the sandel without it . for the most part I feel this be comfortable , but I have have to take a break from they for a couple of day because it start to not be comfortable and my foot feel achy . +12 Sandal POS 4 a very comfortable shoe that seem to be well make . my only problem be , I have a high instep that cause problem with shoe that have the tongue attach all the way up , like this one . it be tight get it on , but very comfortable once on . it would be perfect if I have a normal instep . +980 Sandal POS 5 I have just order my 3rd pair in 5 year all of which be still in great shape . I have 1 pair for rough usage , water etc. , 1 pair for go out to the mall etc. and have just order a pair to enjoy indoors . they be durable , look great , and super comfortable and wear well . Hope Sperry keep these in production ... best sandal I have ever own !!! fit be great and they be tough as nail but always look great . +732 Sandal POS 5 I buy these shoe because I need something to get around in for a 2 week trip to Hawaii . I get they a couple day before we leave so I have no time to break they in , but they feel break in the first day i wear they . I wear they hike and on the beach and on volcanic rock . I have never be wild about sandal , but I can tell you I be anxious for spring in Colorado so I can wear they again . I be a photographer , and I pretty much expect to wear these pretty much all the time during summer landscape shoot ! I highly recommend they ! +864 Sandal NEG 1 the last pair of keen sandal I buy , for my wife and I , be thoroughly appreciate as to durabilty and comfort , but say to say , the one we order this time be inferior in every respect . the size be mark the same , unfortunately they appear to be mean for child . the material be overly lightweight and strange , definetly unlike the one we have buy originally , which be make in the USA . Yours truly , Dennis Mora +569 Sandal NEG 1 I be a early bird Christmas shopper and order my son a pair of these shoe from this company in AUGUST . since they be a Christmas gift , I do not give they to my son until Christmas day . after he open the shoe -lrb- loving them -rrb- we realize that they be too small . I contact the company to see about exchange they -lrb- not return them ... just a exchange -rrb- and they refuse !! I tell they that the package be not even open and the shoe be never worn but they still deny my exchange . I be tell that they have a 30 day return\/exchange policy . this policy be wrong especially under the above circumstance -lrb- item be a holiday gift , unopened and unworn -rrb- . this policy irritate I even more as I order a similar pair of Rainbow shoe for my daughter from a company call american Sole -lrb- who have the same return policy as this flip Flop store -rrb- and they take my exchange ! overall , my fault for not read the fine print but I want to make it know to anyone who may purchase from this company in the future that they extend no courtesy in any situation . would not suggest this company to anyone . +873 Sandal POS 4 occasionally the shoe be a little tight when i first put they on , but they soon become very comfortable . I be pretty happy with the purchase and the price . +769 Sandal POS 5 I order and have my shoe within 2 day ! they have great price on birkenstock and get right on it when you place a order . will definitely shop with they again ! +498 Sandal NEG 2 these be my first birkenstock I own , I have buy the `` knock-off '' brand before and be halfway successful ... my judgement : I would rather spend $ 10 on fake , than $ 40 + + + on these real one . they be not as comfortable as I have hear , nor be they any nicer than the fake . big waste of money . the only thing I like be the silver color they come in ... +453 Sandal NEG 1 these be very low quality sandal . I get these a couple of month back . the nob start shed immediately and now have several patch at all the place that matter . I have use this type of sandal previously and they last I several year . these sandal do not have the same quality . most certainly not worth the price . +768 Sandal NEG 2 I be not to conviced but I be talk into get they by my girl as she hear they be great shoe . I wear they for a week or two and love they . great sandle but then the stitch start to come apart . I 'll sew they up myself . almost do not pay to have to ship they off this time . +938 Sandal POS 5 I buy these as a wet-weather alternative to my leather birkinstock . they be only available in the narrow footprint - not my preference but work out great nevertheless . I wear they on a vacation in New Orleans during the hurricane season , walk mile and mile in they every day with no blister . I wear they when the grass be heavy with dew in the morning . I wear they to get in and out of my kayak . would not want to be without they . have they for wet condition will help keep my leather , more expensive , birkinstock in better shape longer . +753 Sandal POS 5 shoe be fantastic , I be recommend they by a friend . the only thing I can say be that the size guide on amazon.com do not match the manufacturer 's one . e.g. on Amazon a UK size 8.5 need a US size 9 . however keen website -lrb- and the box they come in -rrb- say that a UK 8 be a US 9 . double check people ... +310 Sandal POS 5 the ugliest and most comfortable sandal there be . Make sure you get the right size . and the strap be a little long and I have to carve in two more hole . but overall , they be ergonomically perfect . too bad my wife will not let I wear they in public ... +508 Sandal POS 5 if you have never try Birkey 's . Nows you chance . Amazon.com have they for a great price . thank you Amazon.com , my daughter love they ! +323 Sandal POS 5 my Husband love they ! Super fast shipping , the fit be perfect and great price for the name brand ! overall very pleased with this purchase and Amazon ! +29 Sandal POS 5 the fit feel great , make sure to try on some at a store before you order online . if you do that then you will be pleasantly surpised with a good set of keen shoe . +992 Sandal POS 5 i like the strap on these flipflop there very comfortable . i dont see any problem with the construction of this footwear they look and feel well build . +73 Sandal POS 5 I have worn this Mephisto sandal for over 15 year and love it . have wear it all over the world and it be time to replace they . I find that the Tatuis classic be not available in store . try to order from Amazon and could not get the size to make sense . only 7 US and 13 US be list by every company show on Google . could not find any other information on availability . need to order 2 pair , black and brown but could not . first time I have have trouble order from Amazon in over 15 year . +720 Sandal NEG 2 they have a build in arch bar which have the stiffness of balsa wood . I have `` flat foot '' . torture thy name be Birckenstock . I could care less who sell it . +217 Sandal POS 5 I be not a fan of the usual rainbow sandal as they feel like plank of wood line with a leathery coating strap to you foot . but when I find these online , they look much more comfortable . luckily , I be right . the sole form with you foot and give you much need padding and support . great sandal ! +263 Sandal POS 5 the shoe be exactly as advertise . Great in the stream while fishing on on the boat . quick dry as well . thumb up . +598 Sandal POS 4 there be plenty of review here explain how awesome these Keen 's be . I agree . these be the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn . wear they exclusively for a very active week-long trip to Kauai and they be perfect . keep my foot cool and comfortable and provide great support for hike and walk . I only have two criticism : they get smelly very quickly and the sole be not as grippy as expect . walk for a day or two in these and they will develop pretty strong foot odor . scrub they with soap and water get rid of it , but it return pretty quickly . also , I expect the black rubber tread to have good grip on rock and such . they be okay , but tend to slide more than expect . perhaps the sole be make to be more durable and be a little too hard to get good traction . they be great for dirt trail or on concrete or asphalt . I do not trust they on wet rock or slick surface . +324 Sandal POS 5 these be wonderful quality , upkeep with just saddle soap . the color be a pleasant dark gray and go with everything . I have many pair of Birkenstock sandal and these fit the same as all the other . I have back problem and appreciate the great foot support of these sandal . +131 Sandal POS 5 light weight , durable , great toe protection and quick on\/off . never own a pair of Keens , Teevas or any type of sandal like this so I can not compare it to other but this particular one be a recommend . I usually wear 9.5 and the 9 fit perfect with a little room . +540 Sandal NEU 3 I have a lot of expectation about this sandal , but they be not as comfortable as I think . they be very rigid , not suitable for long walk . +0 Sandal POS 5 my boyfriend love these ... they last forever , be durable , and mold to you foot . you really cant go wrong with rainbow . +692 Sandal POS 5 buy these for boat and could not be happier ! they be comfortable right out of the box , have non mark sole and look good too ! +942 Sandal POS 5 excellent , sandal , I just go raft down the South Fork of the Amaerican River , do not lose they , and they still look new . I work at a Nusery , I foot be constantly wet , they quick dry , still hold they shape , and look brand new , and be SUPER COMFORTABLE . will be BUYING ANOTHER PAIR SOON . how KEEN !!! +412 Sandal NEG 1 I originally get these sandal as a gift from my grandmother about two week ago . she die around 3 day ago so I decide to wear they out and about . I live near a beach so wear sandal be a very practical thing to do , so I have worn plenty of sandal in my time . I know all type of brand and style of sandal , and this have to pretty much be the worse . as I be out , the sandal strap come apart in a completely unwarranted time . I trip because of that , and have now scar up my foot pretty good . blood similarly get all over my sandal . now , I have Hepatitis B , unfortunately , so I have to dispose of the sandal for the safety of other - particularly , my family . not much I can do about thing when I spill my blood on they -lrb- unless I want to find some way to completely quarantine the item -rrb- . so I explain my situation to the company . what do they say ? they say that they can not do anything at all . instead , they tell I to like they FACEBOOK page because I have a chance at WINNING a pair of freak sandal . yeah right , as if I be go to advertise you junk product to my friend . never purchase from this company . they do not care about you or the quality of they product . I suggest reef 's instead - actually , I suggest any other brand . +315 Sandal POS 5 I buy my first pair of Rainbow sandal after read a ton of review online and have talk to people that own they . start out , I could not imagine pay $ 40 for a pair of flip flop . but boy be I glad I do . these be by far the most comfortable sandal I have ever own . once they break in , they be like heaven . the only problem I have with they be that I get they a size too large . once they break in , they loosen up and I have a little trouble keep they on my foot , and at some time the surface can be a little slick and my foot slide , but other than that , I can honestly say these be the best sandal I own . I go on a binge and buy 3 expensive pair of sandal around the same time . I get a pair of these obviously , along with a pair of reef fanning 's , and a pair of Quiksilver . while I enjoy all three , most of all the Rainbow and reef , I have to say these be my favorite . they go with more or less anything you wear , and feel like they 'll last I a lifetime . +360 Sandal POS 5 I be in my late 50 's and have not worn sandal since I be a kid . however , my son-in-law have a pair of these and recently let I try they on while visit . I be instantly hooked and order mine right away in time for a Florida beach vacation . they be send from the vendor in less time than promise and I have be wear they constantly since then . they be comfortable and well-made as Sperry boat shoe . -lrb- I have be through several pair of those over the last 35 year and love they . -rrb- they do not slip off you foot while walk and do not irritate between the toe . I recommend these even if you do not usually wear sandal , but be look for some casual attire for the hot weather . +146 Sandal POS 5 I have have several sandal in the past , and these Rainbow Westcape sandal be one of the best I have have . the entire footbed be a soft cushion for you foot . I have develop a painful bone spur right on the heel of my right foot just before I get the sandal . these sandal be perfect for cushion the impact of my foot with the bone spur . the sandal make walk much better . I be not a fan of sandal with a toe separator . the nylon toe separator take a while to get use to , and be not that comfortable at first . however , once I get use to it and callus up , I really like these sandal . I would also say the sizing be really perfect , so when I order a size 9 , its what you expect . however , the heel of my foot just barely fit onto the sandal because the toe separator keep my foot in a certain position on the sandal . I might go for a half size larger if I could , but they do not make half size . so if that might bother you or you want a little bit more material around the heel , you might want to go a size up . in addition , in comparison to my sister 's Rainbow Sandals , which be leather , these sandal have no break in period , and be comfortable right out of the package . fantastic sandal so far , and I would highly recommend these sandal to a friend . they be waterproof and feel like you be walk on cushion . let see if these Rainbow rubber sandal last as long as they traditional leather sandal . +624 Sandal POS 4 I like 'em . I Love 'em . I want more of 'em . just really hard find the right size when a 10 or 10.5 should be common . Carl +273 Sandal POS 5 when I receive these sandal , they be tight at first , which be a good thing , because they stretch and now fit my foot like a glove . they be nice look and seem like they will last quite a while , be a floridian , I go through sandal several time a year . judge from prior review , I believe I have a few year to go . prime for $ 33 ? thanks Amazon ! +596 Sandal NEU 3 I like the shoe , they be nice . I have buy 3 pair -lrb- on sale -rrb- . the only problem with these shoe be the sole . they have 3 `` rib '' run from toe to arch . the rib wear out quickly and allow water and gravel to enter in . I would not buy a pair of these at full price because of this intentional design flaw . the rest of the shoe hold up well , which lead I to believe these `` rib '' -lrb- like many product these day -rrb- be purposely manufacture in to fail after a time , so guy like I will buy another pair -lrb- on sale , of course -rrb- . +505 Sandal NEG 2 these be not comfortable at all . as soon as you get they wet they make the most awful squeak noise . not good at all . +71 Sandal POS 5 have keen item before , easy to put on & take of . love the man 's shoe because of the wide foot . find it more room when item arrive do not have to break in . wear my first pair to the old country , have to take shoe of at security check point go through do not have to struckle . ship good , get item within 7 day . love to buy from Amazon . +805 Sandal POS 4 my father seem so happy after first few step in he new shoe that I buy on amazon and it make I happy also . +857 Sandal NEG 1 for a birkenstock slide in sandal the rating be a one . it may be 5 in all other aspect than the one I will focus on -lrb- or normal for a birkenstock sandal of this slide in design . -rrb- I send they back right away . the problem be that the upper be construct out of floppy soft suede and the material be so floppy the wearer be probably go to have to reach down every time he put they on , rather than quickly slip in the foot and go . I never get to try the softbed feature and evaluate it , which be what I be really interested in . I take a careful look at the other color hope to find a stiff material -- but could not . the amazaon birkenstock offering for softbed sandal take you to some color choice that do not say softbed , and some that do . apparently the softbed come only with the floppy upper that make they virtually dysfunctional as slide in slide out sandal . the truth be that Earth make far and away the best man 's sandal of this nature . Earth must have be take over by fairy who only make woman 's shoe . Hopefully Earth will come out with some man 's sandal of they traditional slide in style sometime soon . after all , Earth be a german company , and the culture of macho among the german elite be endanger at Earth if they let the fairy run the show . +39 Sandal POS 4 the nub hurt alot !! you need to wear they with sock and they 'll look cool and will be comfortable but otherwise , barefooted , this really hurt you foot . the nub thingy be not fall off and i wear they everywhere except work -lrb- i wish I could though -rrb- and it be great . but it be just that . . they hurt . a little . you need to get use to it . +808 Sandal POS 5 unlike a futon bed , these sandal get more comfortable over time . yes for the first week or two these be down right unpleasant , but not unbearable , to wear . if you manage to get past the trail of moderatly sore foot then you get a treasure , one that be guarenteed for a numbed of year . the hemp material be rot and mold resistant make this a ideal shoe to take in most outing . submerge it water , coat it with mud or run it over with a car and toss they in the dish washer , and prepare for delight . more confortable sandal do exist but in the furture . +77 Sandal NEU 3 my husband have be wear these for year , then they change they . now they do not last as long , the strap between the toe keep break ... +5 Sandal POS 5 all I can say be wow ! I have always be a huge fan of Teva 's - and still be - but these timberland be the nicest sandal I have ever see . I get a lot of compliment on they , they be comfortable , and they do not seem to get as sweaty as my Teva 's do . +475 Sandal POS 5 the Clark 's man 's Hudson Sandal I purchase be the most comfortable and versitile footwear I have own in a long time . my wife swear by Clark 's and now I do too . they can be wear with or without the backstrap , which be removable , the footbed be leather and the sole absorb you stride . I do not know they make man 's product until I do a search on Amazon.com . my highest praise . +45 Sandal POS 4 great purchase and timely delivery . my grandson be quite pleased with he birk . we take they to we local Birkenstock store to get some additional hole for a more secure fit . I be sure he 'll get great wear from he birk . thank you ! +629 Sandal POS 5 these shoe be great !! my wife and I recently visit Hawaii . I really do not know what I would have do without these shoe . all the beach on Oahu have lava rock that be rugged and sharp . with these shoe , I be able to walk , hike and swim comfortably while we be there . +128 Sandal POS 5 these sandal be great . they look good , go with a lot of different clothing , function great as a everyday sandal and last for a long time . -lrb- I have the Mocha -rrb- a few thing to know : - be careful get the softbed wet . the leather on top of the soft cushion will deteriorate after time if they constantly get soak -lrb- I live in Miami for a bit and be outside a lot -rrb- they be still very wearable even if this happen . - I also get a very light callus from the sandal , after a few day this do not bother I . the spot be where the top strap meet the top my foot . this happen after the leather strap get et and the strap become slightly rougher . I bet if the bottom strap be tighter I would have avoid this completely , but it do not bother I enough to change it . - they usually be order in european size , if you be unsure go try a pair on in the store and then order they to be safe . the conversion usually work and be easy . in the past 6 year I have have two pair that I more or less wear daily . they be so comfortable , have great support for you foot and look great ! I rate they 5 despite some of these concern I tell you about because in my opinion , they be worth it . the only sandal I 'll buy ! +134 Sandal POS 5 I have have a lot of different type of flip flop , and these rainbow with the thicker sole be the best . all Rainbow product be very high quality and very durable , but the thicker sole in these be great if you wear they all the time - they 'll last longer , and they be way more comfortable . I have even do short jogging spurt in these , which would usually result in bruised heal in any other standard thin-soled sandal , but my rainbow keep my foot happy - all day , every day ! rainbow have a life-time guarantee on all of they product , so if you ever wear through a pair , they will replace they . +538 Sandal POS 5 needless to say , I love birkenstock ! however , these sandal be return because the size seem to be very generous and they do not fit . +821 Sandal POS 5 I have be wear this sandal in another color for a couple of year and love it . I be happy to find this color to add to my collection at a great price . keen be seldom find at a discount . +339 Sandal POS 5 great sandal . I get to replace some aqua sock I have have for year that fall apart while at a water park . these be super comfortable and can easily be work with the heel strap on or off . look kinda clunky , but that be the idea . love the toe protection , which have save I many time . I would definitely get again . +757 Sandal POS 5 I love my rainbow sandal ! they be great ; I have be wear they for year now . when I order the wrong size , they be fast and efficient in get I the correct size . Great Seller ! +364 Sandal POS 4 I love these sandal have have 2 other pair but after 1 1\/2 to 2 year they start to fall apart for expensive shoe but I go back to they because they feel great . +539 Sandal POS 4 I finally make a investment in real Rainbow sandal instead of continuously buy and chuck the target knock-off one . so far , I be happy . I have not have much opportunity to wear they , since it be get to be winter . but I like they , they be what I expect . my only complaint be that it be take quite a while to really break they in , which be not too fun . +833 Sandal NEG 2 just wait . I have to admit that I know I be not get official , leather , expensive birkenstock , but I have expect better than what I get . the taupe Tahiti have a nice , soft bed , comfy on the foot ... but I could not get past the cheesy appearance . not only do they not resemble leather in any way -lrb- think cheap plastic purse material -rrb- but the suede bed be `` ragged '' for lack of a better term . the edge look as if they be tear instead of cut precisely , with cheapest grade suede , and the cork bed look like a cheap knockoff as well . have I pay a small amount for a `` light '' version of Birkenstocks I would not have be surprise , but for the price these just do not look up to par . I do not consider myself super picky , either . but , have I keep these and wear they I would not have be surprise if someone think I get they in the Wal-Mart shoe department for $ 15.99 . lesson learn . I will save my penny for a leather pair of the best . +482 Sandal POS 5 great buy . the seller do e-mail I when the shipping be go to be push back so that be very nice to know . the shoe be in great condition and I be very happy with they . +935 Sandal POS 5 this my second pair of Birkenstock sandal in the last 6 month . these sandal be so comfortable that I buy another pair so I would have a spare pair . I be over 65 year old and I hate that I be just experience the comfort of Birkenstock . I wear a narrow in shoe and the birkenstock narrow be great ! love the comfort of the soft footbed . highly recommend ! +726 Sandal POS 4 I buy this because I like the product . I have have it before and about every 2 year I need a new pair since I wear they out . this product rock just like the one I have 2 year before that , and the one I have 2 year before that . I be a fan . +983 Sandal POS 5 these be a gift for my son , who repeatedly tell I how comfortable they be . the quality make they worth the higher price . +94 Sandal POS 4 great product . they fit well and very comfortable . I will be buy addition pair to make sure I have they in the future +170 Sandal POS 5 hand down the most comfortable sandal out of the box I have ever worn . they go well with anything and be comfortable and easy to walk in as well as easy to clean . just a great sandal all around . +232 Sandal POS 4 you buy this because you see it everywhere . to I its not really any different than any other sandal . its convenient and it do look better than wear a pair of foam one though . +234 Sandal NEU 3 these be not my favorite shoe to dance in , however the company I dance with require they . too bad they have no support or cushioning . we get a lot of compliment on how they look , but the lace hurt and the flat sole do nothing to may you toe point look good . Danshuz be the only company I can find that make these . +520 Sandal POS 5 after read all the great review , I have to try they . they be exactly what I be look for , weatherproof sandal , protect toe , and great color ! but after check around locally , I could not find this specific model . so last week I finally make the commitment and purchase they . and boy be I glad I do !! wow , Fabulous ! many reviewer mention how comfortable and flexible they be , but no one , that I read , mention the room through the ball of the foot and toe ! all too often these day shoe be way too narrow ! these be fabulous ! buy a pair , I think you will be as happy as the rest of we ! +191 Sandal NEG 1 I be in the process of return the second pair . the stitch pull out in exactly the same place on both pair . the first pair make it 25 day . the second do not make it 2 week . completely out perform by a pair of Walmart Earthshoes . beyond that they collect any loose material under the toe . walk through a field of grass in seed and after 2 step they be full . +358 Sandal POS 5 best sandal I have ever buy !!! Great for the river . do not get they big ... better to fit just right , they will mold to you foot . for example , I usually wear size 10.5-11 shoe . the first pair I buy be size 11 . they work great , but I always feel they might be a little big . on the next purchase I get 10.5 and they really work well , even with sock on ! +26 Sandal POS 5 I buy these for my husband after buy several cheaper sandal that we have replace over the year . so far they be hold up great and he state that they have already mold to he foot . would purchase again . +85 Sandal POS 5 I love these sandal ! I wear a 9.5 man 's and have pretty wide and super flat foot which makings find footwear difficult . this review be for anyone who be on the fence about whether to buy they or not . give some of the review I read , I be pretty nervous about they fitting right\/breaking in , etc. but order the size m sandal anyway . as many have say there be a definite break-in period ... no joke , especially with wider foot . initially , I could barely get they on let alone wear they because they be so tight and the nylon strap be terribly uncomfortable on my toe . it take I a solid 2 week of really power through it and they now fit my foot like a glove ! not to mention , they provide ample support and comfort if you have foot trouble -lrb- in my case flat foot -rrb- . I find they more comfortable than even my tennis shoe with orthotic ! I recommend this sandal 100 % . they will be the best sandal you ever own . my only recommendation be be patient with they and do not plan on wear they to a all day concert or something like that the day you get they . now , I wear they everywhere and be never go back ! +281 Sandal NEG 1 size information not just bad , but way off . Service from Amazon extremely poor , refer I to the vendor because the item need to be return due to size ... need a size 9 , sandal order be suppose to fit size 8.5 - 9.5 , think that would be safe ... sandal be about two inch too short ... pretty bad ! have to return sandal - pay for ship to get item , pay to return item , then pay to have it ship back ! total shipping cost $ 21.00 ... pathetic ! and Rainbow receive sandal on June 13 , -lrb- confirm via delivery confirmation -rrb- ... I still have not receive exchange sandal ... it be now july 4th !!! they just ship the sandal accord to someone at Rainbow on July 3rd ... pretty poor business practice ! I have no desire to deal with Amazon or Rainbow again . +23 Sandal POS 4 the Clarks Men 's Hudson Sandal be almost perfect . the insole be well padded and supportive as well as correctly shape to my foot . I have worn these sandal on many long walk include hike in the wood . my only problem concern the strap which extend over the top of the wearer 's foot . this strap do not secure completely when it be pull tight because it do not have enough velcro type material to make complete contact . I have a shoe repair shop correct this problem by sew additional velcro on that strap . I expect a wearer with a very high instep would not require this repair . with this minor inexpensive repair , these really be perfect sandal . +932 Sandal POS 5 my husband love these shoe !!! much more comfortable than the hard bed original and a great price !!! you will not be disappointed !! +214 Sandal POS 5 keen shoe be the most comfortable shoe I wear . with sock or without - in the water or not - I would love to wear they with everything - they do not look so good with business suit , but I wish they do ! +318 Sandal POS 5 this be my second pair of Keen Newport shoe and they be my favorite shoe ! you will not find a more comfortable pair of walking shoe . I buy my first pair before a trip to Washington D.C. on this trip I average 8 mile a day of walk and my foot be fine . this summer right before a trip to New York City I order my second pair . this shoe be for a average width foot , do not order this shoe if you have a wide foot . +92 Sandal POS 4 sandal be everything I expect . I find good advice from former owner about move up a half size , which I recomend . +497 Sandal POS 5 never wear these type before and it take some get use to but they be just what I be look for . +377 Sandal POS 5 see these elsewhere and get they here for less . they be very confortable and offer good arch support . really happy with this purchase and plan to get a second pair in a different color . Update : less than 8 hour after I write this review , Amazon raise the price from $ 72 to $ 95 . thumb down to Amazon , but it be still a good shoe . +221 Sandal POS 4 I buy these for cool comfort in the summer when a little more than a open air sandal be require . they work well . they be light and do not make my foot sweat like some shoe without sock do . +337 Sandal POS 4 we have to exchange another pair as the 10 do not fit properly . these be a great option for the new pair . +733 Sandal POS 5 I have worn these sandal extensively and they be very comfortable and appear to be very well construct . the first thing I notice after purchase they be the weight , they be a bit heavier than you average sandal but still very easy to wear . keep in mind the sandal be white and dirt will show up easily if you be not careful . overall a great product . +33 Sandal POS 5 absolutly the best price ive find for rainbow flop . fit perfect on my husband wide foot . great product and price for these ! +196 Sandal POS 5 these be my favorite most comfortable shoe . great quality . great deal !! I have pay a lot more than they price . +353 Sandal POS 5 these be the best sandal I have ever own . they be extremely comfortable and very durable . the only problem I have be with the soft footbed . it do not seem much softer and I actually think the regular footbed be more comfortable . +62 Sandal POS 5 I have have foot problem which have force I to get new footwear . when I be a teen , I try a pair of birkenstock but return they because of the pain - and the fear that I would not be able to return they if I wear they too long . I have a high instep , and go to try on shoe at the local shoe store . I could only get my foot into Birkenstocks and Haflinger 's , and I choose between the taupe birkenstock - soft footbed and regular . the same color be different base on whether or not it be the soft footbed , and I choose the soft because it have a sage green tone rather than a rosier golden tan tone . it take 3 week to break these in . the strap nearest the ankle dig into I with every step I take , because of my instep . it hurt and cause bleed under the skin , but I persist in wear they a couple of hour at a time . normally , I go barefoot inside because I can not stand shoe and do not even like sandal much , but I now do not want to take off my birkenstock ! I love they . I ask the salesman if the strap would stretch , and he say they would stretch to a point , and especially if fasten too tight . I have be wear they kinda loosely , but I prefer they snug enough to stay on - not tight . hopefully they will not stretch too much . the strap and the durability of the sole be what lead to my review 's title , as I do not know the answer to those question now . I have order a pair in the Boston style as well . the softb Boston in mocha look great to I , and different from the same color in the regular footbed . if this love last , I will have little use for any other shoe . the way the insole conform to my foot make these feel like they be a part of I , which be why they can feel better than barefoot . +723 Sandal POS 5 everybody be right about these flip flop . they hurt once you start wear they , but over time , they start become very comfortable . the only bad thing about they be the price for they . +828 Sandal POS 5 I buy these for my boyfriend who always wear flip flop . he have diabetes now and I have always be concern about he foot . he really like they and I be totally jealous that I do not have a pair with the soft footbed . he wear a large size and with amazon prime , I only have to pay $ 94 ! amazing Amazon.com come through again . +391 Sandal POS 5 I have buy a new pair of these sandle from Amazon for the past three year . the price be great ; the color perfect ; and only the sole of the shoe wear . older pair be wear around the house or in the garden . I have even have some resole . three pair later you be set for all occassion ! +393 Sandal POS 4 these st thong be my third pair over the last 5 year . be use around the house , beach and fishing . this pair fit tight but comfortable and construction quality be similar to my previous two pair . +640 Sandal NEU 3 wow , just like the coral you hear so much about , the reef shoe be shrink . since 1996 this style have shrink about 2 size , and get narrower . I have a 13 foot and wear size 12 reef back in the 90 's when thing be generous . but then after after 911 they seem a bit smaller so I go for the size 13 which be just a little bigger . just now I buy the 13 and they be 1\/2 inch narrower and shorter than the previous 13 's so it look like I will need a size 14 . WTF ?!? its not some supermarket consumable item that get smaller and smaller be it ? I mean its a shoe ? I mean the size be the same right ? Whats next ? a 42 inch tv that be actually 39 inch ? what about hat , be they shrink ? Whats go on when the shoe size shrink a entire inch in 15 year ? `` ok we need to increase profit , let make the shoe smaller '' its still a good well build flip flop , but they be make in china now , be that the answer ? +709 Sandal POS 5 I do not have this exact pair . I get mine from Bass Shoes -lrb- not Bass pro -rrb- for $ 39 . so , I like this one because of its price but also because of the toe portion . some might shun sandal because stuff get in they while you walk . Wood chip be not fun under you arch . however , the toe on these be covered which minimize this issue . nothing get in mine during the second half of a ten mile day hike I be on . the heel be not cover on these -lrb- mine be cover -rrb- , but still provide a shoe like feel . if it be warm enough , these be great . you can walk through water without be bother at all . even water proof boot can get wet inside if the water be deep enough . +428 Sandal POS 5 I order a pair of Rainbow Sandals a week before Christmas for my son as a gift . I be not sure if they would arrive in time and I be so happy when the sandal arrive a couple of day before Christmas ! +27 Sandal POS 4 my husband be very happy with these sandal . he wear they all over in Cabo San Lucas . no problem . let 's see if they last , like they say ... +125 Sandal POS 5 a staple in we family . Love Rainbows , last forever . buy they for we son , this be he 5th pair , we all also own a pair +865 Sandal POS 5 the most wonderful thing about Rainbow sandal be that they form to you foot and hold up to abuse . they hurt sooo bad the first time or two you wear they but once they form to you foot and get break in - oh my - it be like slip on you favorite slipper . they be so soft and velvety ! despite the sterotype that come with live in Charleston , sc which go hand in hand with wear Rainbows - I eventually break down and buy they after other brand kept wear down - we wear flip flop 12 month of the year here . I have be so impressed . my husband blow through flip flop in a day - wear they in the ocean , leave they out in the rain ... he get 2 pair of Rainbows for Christmas - this will be the ultimate test - I really hope to be able to return one pair !! +127 Sandal POS 5 I use to wear Teva sandal with the Spider sole , which be the best for climb around wet granite creak in the Southern Sierra north of Lake Isabella . the sole of other sandal and boot do not grip as well , and slip there be dangerous . in the summer of 2009 I wear Keen Newport h2 sandal , and they be as good as the Spider sole on the Tevas . the Keen be more protective because of the toe guard , and about the same for pick up and then release sand and pebble between my foot and the sandal upper . the keen last five or six month , I wear they all the time when I be not at work . on hike , walk in the neighborhood and on the beach , as a casual shoe in Winter with a liner sock . good on wet concrete and pavement , too . the tread wear out and the ball of my foot make such a deep indentation in the upper that there be not enough cushion any more . the rest of the sandal be still in great shape , no thread problem for I . by the way , I always leave the `` tie '' in its most loose position , except in creek . I will replace they when the local REI restock in Spring 2010 . till then , Crocs in the city and at the beach . I buy a lot of stuff on Amazon , but not shoe . +633 Sandal NEG 1 order size large 9-5 10-5 I ware a 9-5 shoe these sandal would fit a small boy !!!!!!!!! Waste of money ! +427 Sandal POS 5 I finally have to replace my first pair of Newport h2 after 3 year of abuse . they be the perfect sandal for wade in small stream , hike in the desert , and casual wear . I have especially be impress with how durable the material be and how well the antimicrobial material work . they really do not stink after hike in they for a day . I be a bigger guy , so I usually go through shoe quickly . I really abuse these and they last for 3 year . if you like to hike or fish small stream , these sandal be perfect . they be durable and stay on you foot without stretch when they get wet . the toe be sturdy and protect toe from hidden underwater boulder . the sole be pretty grippy , so it help climb over slippery rock . the only comlaint I have about my last pair be they seem a lot wider than marked . it look like Keen have resolve this because these be true to size . +788 Sandal POS 5 my geta sandal just arrive today and be terrific !!!!! the strap take a little breaking in , but overall secure and very comfortable . +708 Sandal POS 5 the soft footbed means this birkus can be worn immediately with no `` break in '' period . +775 Sandal POS 4 the `` massage '' be actually hundred of tiny plastic peg digging into you foot . it actually hurt . but for some reason I love it ... +655 Sandal NEG 1 I buy these for my son but return they because the peg that make up the sole of the sandal hurt he foot . he will not wear they . +559 Sandal POS 5 the Rainbow sandal come on time and be just as expect from this company ! they fit snugly and will take foot shape as advertise . I would not recommend get they right before a trip , as they need time to be break in or blister will ensue . love my rainbow , and would always recommend they to other ! +129 Sandal POS 5 we buy these shoe for my husband . he just love they . they be so comfortable , and extremely supportive of he foot . we would recomment they to anyone who need good support . +209 Sandal POS 5 I have be wear these 300 + day a year for year now - after about 18 month they be pretty tired , so I buy another pair . few other shoe last that long for I . I could swear that they have reduce the external bulk a bit , at least in width , unless my old one just sag with age . I be not talk about the interior fit , which be still generous for width -lrb- and which I need -rrb- , but the width of the sole and therefore the visual appearance . this be a good thing . I highly recommend wear wool sock with these -lrb- reus hiker sock ideal -rrb- . yes , sock and sandal ... ignore the hater ... +18 Sandal POS 4 these sandal have be comfortable to wear for the most part , but due to the lack of odor control they become smelly and burn from extend wear . I have have to add foot powder before each use to be able to wear for more then a couple of hour . keen should either remove the odor control as a attribute or improve its function . +639 Sandal POS 4 cinch tight and my husband get a blister . once he keep they loose he do not have a problem with they . +486 Sandal POS 5 I love my birkenstock !!! I have never own a pair until I buy these and the be so comfortable !!! thanks !!! +774 Sandal NEU 3 these be big and clumsy and if you hae flat foot they hurt . I have a pair off off brand one year ago and they be so much more comfortable . +366 Sandal POS 5 I buy this sandal in Helsinki , Finland in 2006 , after I break my big toe . it be the only shoe I could wear and not have pain . the sandal have now see better day , it leak , its sole have wear out and it be still the most comfortable thing I have put on my foot ... next to a foot massage . +648 Sandal POS 5 I have be wear these for the past five year . year ago on a family vacation at a lake with a rocky shoreline , I slice my toe open on a rock . after that I try various water shoe and sandal over the year , none of which I really like . then one day at the beach I see a friend wear these , and he buy I a gray pair for my birthday . I have worn nothing else since . I recently buy a second pair in black , not because the first pair have wear out -lrb- they still work just fine -rrb- , but because I want a different color , and think the black pair look really sharp . here be why I like these . 1 . this be the most heavy duty pair of sandal that I have own . while some review have note that they be heavier than other sandal -lrb- which be true -rrb- , to I that do not affect they comfort in any way , or the ability to walk or run in they -lrb- I like run on the beach with these because I do not have to worry if they get wet -rrb- . 2 . these provide the best protection for you foot that I know of . no worry about stub you toe because the toe be reinforce like no other sandal or water shoe that I have own . it be like have the protection of a work boot . one review note that sand can collect in the toe area and other part of the sandal when you walk on the beach . true , but it be not uncomfortable , and I just rinse these off when I leave the beach for the day . 3 . the bottom also provide solid reinforcement . no worry for I about cut my foot on broken shell at the beach or slippery rock at the lake . these have also protect my foot from sharp coral reef and jag volcanic rock that I have encounter on vacation . these sandal literally save I from serious personal injury when a jet ski I be ride on vacation flip over in a area fill with volcanic rock -- I feel they on the bottom of these sandal as I try to right the jet ski . without these sandal my foot would have be slice to ribbon . 4 . the traction on these be excellent . I have use these to go into the deep end of a empty in ground pool that be coat with slimy alga to clean the wall without lose my balance . I have also use they to climb on jetty at the beach . 5 . I wear a medium width and recommend that you size up either a half size or full size . my first pair be a full size up and a little loose . my current pair be a half size up and fit perfectly . but each person 's foot be different . bottom line : I wear these for any water related activity that I do -- sailing , power boat , jet skiing , walk on the beach , go in the ocean , even swim in a lake that have a rocky bottom -lrb- it be a little tough to swim with they , but I prefer that to slice my foot on a rock -rrb- . I highly recommend they . Shop for price . during the summer you can often find they on sale for 15-20 % off . I buy mine online on sale from EMS . +883 Sandal POS 5 I get my first pair of these about 5 year ago as a gift from my sister . I put they on and know that this be the one . I be always in a pair of flip flop i hate shoe . I have never have a pair and have never buy a pair that fit as good as these do . my first pair break about a year ago . so they last a good 4 year and i be very active in my flip flop so to I 4 year be about 3 year more than any other pair of flip flop have ever last I . I just cant say enough good thing about these . when i see someone else in they i always make the a comment to they about how great they be and have never herd anything bad about they back . I be so glad to see they be still make and sell . so i just order a new pair and cant wait till they come in . I live in Okinawa Japan and its Flip flop season every day of the year here . if you buy these you will not be disappoint unless you live in the north pole and cant wear they ! +345 Sandal POS 5 sandal be great . the picture be mislead . these be green as green can be . the picture make they out to be a soft gray green . not the case . i will never wear these . exchange for dark brown . +439 Sandal POS 4 these be nice shoe , good birkey quality . but they really do run BIG . I wear a US size 6 and even the size that be suppose to fit size 5 be still too big for I . Order down ! +16 Sandal POS 5 as of this writing , 28 5-star -lrb- now 29 -rrb- review can not be wrong - thank you Amazon Community ! I be in the market when my old Skechers sandal tear , which have previously replace some old Nike sport sandal that gradualy become too loose\/stretched out . after read here that some people have have they for 5 year and such and some have multiple pair , I put my faith in the Amazon Community and order a pair . the size be right-on and the comfort and fitment feel great . flip-flops\/sandals be never ideal footwear to run in , but I feel it be a good testament , that these fit so well I could emergency-run in they if I choose to . -lrb- you never know when some angry chihuahua be go to go for you ankle ! -rrb- ; - -rrb- if I try to run in my old Skechers or Nike sandal , I would most definitely trip or they would fly off after a couple of stride . reasonable price , high quality , ultra-comfortable , good sizing and fitment , great review to back it up - a easy 5 Stars ! +917 Sandal POS 5 I purchase these for my boyfriend love they and they be durable , fashionable and comfortable ! I have the double stack , narrow strap pair for woman . +408 Sandal NEU 3 the slipper be excellent when I first get it . unfortunately , within 6 month the sole have wear through -lrb- after admittitely heavy use -rrb- . the warrenty only be valid for the life of the sole , which be not too long . +75 Sandal POS 5 this be my secound pair . I tear the other and have to get another . I need comfortable shoe for fishing tournament . great fishing shoe !!!! +25 Sandal POS 4 I have be a fan of Birks for year , and love the support and comfort I have always have . this year I buy a pair of Birks , and buy the same size and model I have always buy , Milanos , size 45 . for some reason , the new Birks seem to be up to a inch longer than my other pair . I find myself stumble and hit the toe of the sandal if I be not careful . what be up with that ? +192 Sandal POS 5 bought my pair at the Orange County Fair last weekend . they truly be the best feeling sandal I have own and good cushion along with have great support . these pair of sandsl I feel I can wear anywhere , because of the support it provide along with the great feel . I would definitely buy another pair . +725 Sandal NEG 2 Buyer beware . there be quite a protracted `` break-in '' period before the sandal feel even remotely comfortable enough to wear . they offer arch support over standard sandal . +969 Sandal POS 5 I also want to get a whole on these birkenstock sandal , finally i get to own one . they be so comfortable ... +293 Sandal NEG 1 the Rainbow sandal I order be very , very narrow . I be send they back and will look for another brand of sandal . +222 Sandal POS 5 great product . I have be a fan of Birkenstocks since I inherit a pair of my mom . they last 10 year ! I be so pleased with these ! a must have . +407 Sandal POS 5 I order these but be unsure about the double layer sole . my older rainbow be those flat one . I really like they but now I be sell on this type sole . it make for a better support and that be what I really like . I be a Rainbow fan and would still purchase the flat style if that be all they have . true to size and very pleased with the purchase . +626 Sandal POS 5 I really enjoy these for walk around in the house or out door . the soft footbed be a nice addition to a great sandal . +484 Sandal POS 5 buy they for my husband . he be sell on those sandal and he get a new pair every few year . I be not sure about size initially -lrb- he be US 12 -rrb- as it wear off he old sandal completely , but 44M fit he perfectly . great product . order online from amazon be very convenient . +521 Sandal NEU 3 I see they at REI , buy they , and like they so much that I go back the next day while they be still on sale and get a second pair . I want to be able to rotate they . but , the thread in the ankle patch come undo . REI give I a brand new pair right then and there . now , it be happen again with the other original pair , both shoe , same seam ! they need to use a much more beefy thread . I hate to have to drive all the way across town and back to exchange shoe . they be very comfortable , cool and give excellent grip . +686 Sandal POS 5 I order a pair of men Rainbows for my son . they seem to fit true to size . he wear a 10 1\/2 Mens shoe and the large fit he fine . they should fit a little snug in the beginning . be leather they will soon mold to fit you foot . he love they and say they be the best flip flop he have ever worn . +233 Sandal POS 5 these be great Adidas sandal . exactly as picture and describe . great quality and very durable . waterproof . I recommend they to other . +394 Sandal POS 4 love these shoe ... however this time one of the shoe 's toe mold be a bit off . so that natural feeling to walk with ease be not quite there in one shoe . I be hope that it will ware down and be great like the other shoe and as normal . it be a great pair of shoe . I be not sure what happen with the one shoe . I could have make a return ... but I want to wear the shoe so badly that I just do not want to part with they . I should have do a return . so ... it be my own fault not to be perfectly pleased . +638 Sandal POS 5 I use to buy this 5 bottle at a time and have I know they be go to discontinue the scent , I would have buy as much of it as possible . it be the perfect type of sandalwood scent for this mix . impossible to come by lately . I wish they would start make this again ! +11 Sandal NEG 1 I be very disappointed in this product and will not buy it again . I would have return they but I hate do return so I keep they and will use they for teach purpose only . they be not suede upper and they do not have leather strap . most of the sandal be cardboard , stiff and do not work well as a dance shoe . I have discourage my student from buy this shoe as I beleve the picture show and description give be not accurate . +296 Sandal POS 4 these be my first pair of Birkenstocks and I have no idea about that kind of foot I have other than it be extremely narrow . I look at other comment that suggest size down , so when I normally wear a 8-8 .5 I buy a 7-7 .5 -lrb- 38 -rrb- size here . they fit just great . I think the large size would have fit also but not as well as these do . the footbed feel amazing , although the arch on the left foot be a bit higher than the arch of the right foot -lrb- although my foot could also be different size -rrb- . the right shoe fit perfectly to my foot but the left hurt a bit and I have to take break at time . the narrow fitting be great . overall , I be totally in love with these shoe . +544 Sandal POS 5 these sandal be amazing if you give they the chance . many reviewer have say that they hurt and be uncomfortable . I would not say that they hurt but more towards the uncomfortable side if this be you first time wear they . however , after a couple day of wear they around the house , you foot should get use to they and the nub start to soften just a bit . now they be so comfortable to I that I try to find place to walk to in they ! I like the fact that the sandal strap be adjustable , but at the same time , very sturdy . in the summer I like to have the strap a little tighter . when it start get cold , I loosen the strap a bit so that I can wear sock with they around the house for my cold foot . one weird thing that I have discover be that , if I wake up and immediately put they on , they feel like they pinch the bottom of my foot just a bit . the feeling go away after a couple minute and I never have this feeling besides in the morning with these sandal . also , I would not wear these as shower sandal if I be you . the strap be line with feel on the inside and it soak up the water pretty well . in the summer it dry quickly but in the winter , the shoe might still be wet in the morning after shower at night . if you decide to shower with they , flush out the space between the nub once in a while with the shower head to get rid of trap sock lint or dust . another tip , if you do shower with they on , I suggest tip the shoe upside down afterwards to drain some water out because it will get trap between the nub . not a big deal but maybe this be what be cause people 's nub to fall off quickly ? I have have these sandal for 2 month now , and they look brand new despite the fact that I wear they everyday ! the size for the shoe seem small by half a size . I wear 10.5 's in Nike sneaker . however , I get the sandal in 11 's and they fit great ! the contour of the nub fit my foot exactly . these shoe be definitely a great investment . after wear they for so long , the sole do not seem to have worn too much . I much prefer to buy something nice that last a long time then to buy 5 pair of cheap flip flop that I have to constantly replace . +249 Sandal POS 5 I love these sandal . they mold to you foot , so the first time be not the best , but after wear they a couple time , you foot actually imprint into the sandal and it make they super comfortable . definitely recommend +485 Sandal POS 4 beautiful sandal \/ flip-flop . very slim , run a bit small , but luckily , i do not mind the snug fit . excellent arch support : easily the most impressive i have ever experience , and seriously , believe I , i wear sandal all year round , every year since the mid '90 ... i know my sandal , these be really , really comfortable . if you have `` fat '' foot , they might not be so comfortable . +746 Sandal POS 5 excellent product as always birkenstock always be . buy for my son . we prefer the birkibuc as the leather stretch too easily . taupe color be perfect as be the fit . highly recommend . +581 Sandal POS 5 I can never get enough of Rainbow Sandals . I buy one for I and my boyfriend because it be about time to retire we old one . +823 Sandal POS 5 rainbow make great sandal and the double layer heel make they extra comfy . look good and feel even better . this be my 3rd pair of Rainbows but the first time I have wear the double layer and its awesome . +910 Sandal POS 5 I have be wear these for the past five year . year ago on a family vacation at a lake with a rocky shoreline , I slice my toe open on a rock . after that I try various water shoe and sandal over the year , none of which I really like . then one day at the beach I see a friend wear these , and he buy I a gray pair for my birthday .

I highly recommend they . Shop for price . during the summer you can often find they on sale for 15-20 % off . I buy mine online on sale from EMS . +773 Sandal POS 5 be year of buy `` inexpensive '' sandal which have all fall apart and figure I would be better off with another pair of Birkenstocks . glad I do . the fit be great and easy on my old foot . take a day to readjust to good support instead of the `` inexpensive '' sandal which have little or no support . +594 Sandal NEG 2 the contour bed be nice , but the strap be very tight if you have a wide foot . +431 Sandal POS 5 I think I would need a larger size when I buy these in my shoe size because they feel really tight on my foot but after a week or so of break they in I must say they feel just fine . they look very firm so they 'll probably last quite some time but at the same time they be very comfortable . the top half of the sandal be make out of some sort of soft rubber provide great cushioning and the bottom half be make out of solid rubber . +108 Sandal POS 5 I have a pair of they and wear they out finally they start make they again . they be the same in look and comfort +239 Sandal NEG 1 I hate these shoe . there be just painful . I think the rubber nub be soft , but they be very very hard . it be like walk on spike . it be a little less painful wear sock , but those spike make these sandal useless . +120 Sandal POS 5 very comfortable . would like to find they in black for the same price . still look and hope to find they . +628 Sandal NEG 2 I have have these sandal for about a year . my brother swear by they and be on he second pair . first , they be very comfortable , and you forget you have they on . I like the closed toe design , which help keep stone and stick from get in under you foot . that say , I will never buy another pair of these . why ? they smell more than any other sandal I have worn . I be 60 + and have have my share of sandal . these be the worst regard smell . on a recent road trip w \/ my wife and brother , if one of we take we Keens off in the car , the window go down and complaint go up ! we laugh about it , but it be irritating nonetheless . sure , wash they help , for awhile . depend on how often you wear they , you may need to wash they weekly . the ` anti-microbial ' treatment of the sole be a laugh . I have have Merrell 's that have never have this problem . and my leather-insoled sandal never smell . I have read so many other complaint about the smell of these sandal , that I know it be a problem . and I do not think we need to hear about washing\/powdering we foot as a solution . the solution for I be to look for a different brand of sandal . +95 Sandal NEG 1 I like the keen concept , but they be cheaply build and unacceptable as a beach sandal . I have the black model and they have turn a dark purple . the sun or salt water may have cause the change . I wear they everyday during my Culebra vacation . the shoe be not sturdy enough to use on a gravel beach . when I hike a rocky path , I have to be careful or I would twist my ankle . my companion wear Teva sandal they prove to be a better casual sandal . +656 Sandal NEU 3 the strap be shorter than they use to be . we live in birkenstock . . they be stiffer and the strap be significantly shorter . the strap fall down when you take they off . this be not a deal breaker but it be new . +612 Sandal POS 5 my husband have he previous pair of Keen Newports for 7 year . he have wear they every spring\/summer\/fall since he get they and they be finally start to look wear out . I order the black olive\/deep lichen for he birthday and he be thrill to get another pair before we vacation . these all purpose shoe be perfect for play outside with the kid , light hiking , casual dinner out or run errand . I be sure he will wear these just as long , but probably will not let I get rid of he old pair . +658 Sandal POS 5 first off Jim be my husband , but I love love love these shoe . this be my second pair . I also have a 3 strap pair which be nice but I come back for the 2 strap . they be more comfortable for I . I remodel my house and put ceramic tile through out . it be easier to clean and look nice . but it give I back ache and I find that my back be tire after be on my foot for very long . I order my first pair of burky because I think they would help . and help they do . I no longer have back ache from stand on the hard floor and my back do not get tired even when I be on my foot all day and these shoe be the reason why . I wear they every day in the summer without sock and every day in the winter with sock . I wear dress shoe to church or out but as soon as I get home out come my burky and my foot immediately feel better . my posture be better and my foot look better . I have a high arch and it be take a beating in my high price tennis shoe that be suppose to be so supportive . now my foot be back to better health then they have be since I be a teenager . I be afraid my arch be ruin and I be go to have problem and would have to live with it . but , thank the good lord . I tell everyone get these shoe even if you have flat or I should say especially if you have flat foot . these will help you more then any foot doctor can . +834 Sandal NEU 3 sandal look as good a spromised and be deliver promptly , but do not fit . pay $ 6 for shipping from Beal 's Florida and have to pay another $ 6 to send they back , the hassle of pack they up , address they and take they to the post office and standing in line be not worth the effort for a $ 20 credit at a Amazon vendor I 'll probably never use again -- it be not worth the hassle . nothing wrong with the product or vendor , but be very , very careful before buy cothing online +647 Sandal POS 5 I purchase a pair of these sandal about 3 week ago on sale at a sport store , and so far I have take they on about 3 or 4 good hike and they have be awesome . I actually suffer from really bad heel pain from tightness in my calf and so far these sandal have almost eliminate any long walk pain I might suffer from due to the great arch support and the soft foot pad . the sandal fit very well , I wear a 11 and purchase a 11 in the sandal and they fit perfectly . I do not have any issue with dye wear off on my color and the glue and stitching , so far , seem very secure . the tie seem to hold pretty well at present and the sandal be very easy to take on and off with or without be tight to the foot . all in all I have very pleased with this purchase . if I have to complain about anything at the moment I would have to say that the heel strap and arch support do take some get use to . I just have to tough it through a little foot soreness at first until my foot get use to they . but this be my first kind of these sandal I have ever own . also , I notice that my little toe have the potential to be rub a little sore on the top due to the placement of the opening above the toe . however , I do have oddly shaped foot with much longer big toe than little toe so that could be the problem ... and these sandal will get stinky , so buy some deodorizer , otherwise you family will leave you at home when they go place . in conclusion , I really like these sandal . +176 Sandal POS 4 my husband love these keen sandal . I buy this pair to replace he old one . but , the size label be completely erase on he last pair , so I go with he regular size but Keen 's run small . I have to return they . +37 Sandal POS 5 it be ship to the right place after I forget the aptment # thank you for do that . +796 Sandal NEG 1 I live in LA and this crapp have a cult follow not sure why but they be super uncomfortable . i rather walk on a bed of glowing red coal than walk on these . they be really hard and have no give or whatsoever . I buy one and it fall apart ... i send it back and get a replacement . they be make in china and look very cheap ... not worth the $ 50 . I finally give up and buy a pair of reef sandal ... so much better ... DONT BUY THIS ! +478 Sandal POS 5 I buy my first pair of Birkenstock sandal about 4 year ago on sale at the mall . they be the Gizeh model , very cute . they eventually mold to the shape of my foot and become my default shoe ever since . eventually I wear out the sole , and now I be even wear out part of the cork , so I decide to buy a new pair . -lrb- I know I can get the old one repair , but I really want a pair of Arizonas as well -- plus if I repair the old shoe without have a new backup pair , whatever would I wear ? -rrb- when I buy my first pair on Amazon I have no idea about the different width -lrb- narrow vs. regular -rrb- . I do not even pay attention to what my old sandal have say , whether the little foot icon be fill in -lrb- indicate narrow width -rrb- or just a outline -lrb- regular -rrb- . and now all the writing be wear out in they , so I can not tell either way . I figure since I be a regular width in everything else , I 'll buy my usual size -lrb- woman 's 7.5 equal 38 in birkenstock -rrb- . so I buy a 38m at first , but that be a mistake . they be so wide on I ! and I do not buy narrow size in any other shoe . so I instead go for a 38n -lrb- which if I have read , be suitable for a-b width , and most woman 's shoe be b width -rrb- . they be perfect ! as soon as I try they on I love they . the synthetic Birkibuc material be comfortable and stylish , and the stone color go with anything . my coworker even think they be leather ! and now I can totally rock that `` hippie sock with sandal '' look . so fashionable . +414 Sandal POS 5 I have never have a pair of Rainbows and read about the break in process which I be not look forward to . they be definitely tight for the first month or so , but gradually stretch out and form to my foot . now they be the most comfortable sandal I have ever own . the build quality be amazing and lead I to believe that they will last for a very long time . very very happy with my purchase . +671 Sandal NEG 2 upon recommendation of my foot doctor , I purchase a pair of Birkenstock sandal . she promise I they would be the most comfortable shoe you will ever wear . well , they be about the most uncomfortable shoe I have ever worn . the arch be absolutely annoying , and cause blister on that area of my foot . I be very unhappy with they , and will not purchase another pair , nor will I recommend they to anyone . +766 Sandal POS 5 order for my teenage son , they be deliver on time . it be what he want and say they be very comfortable . +990 Sandal NEU 3 I be expect better from these sandal . they look like they should be wear without sock . after a week of do that , the insole pop out . the sandal be still in one piece though . the sandal have survive several week of usage by a hefty man so they be not bad ... I be just expect better . also , be careful when wear these around throw carpet . the velcro strap have a tendency to catch on rug . +609 Sandal POS 5 great shoe , everybody I know love they . 2nd year in a row I buy a pair for gift '' +635 Sandal POS 5 the product quality be as I remember from buy these sandal in the past . I be very happy with my purchase ! +78 Sandal POS 5 I be a camper , bike rider and kayakar . most of my weekend I spend in various national park across NSW , Australia . originally I buy a pair of hus Tech and then a pair of Salomon for my January break . the intention be to carry just one pair of footwear that will be versatile enough to tackle mountain , bushland , marsh , sand and salt water . the hus Tech one be light but not tough enoguht and no toe cover . the Salomon -lrb- Techamphibian 3 -rrb- be a little too harsh i.e. not cushiony enough in the inside cause I a little blistery . then this keen Newport one arrive out of the blue , 10 day earlier than the expect delivery -lrb- thanks Amazon !! faster than most aussie online store -rrb- . excite I put the pair on and literally I have not take they off over last three week . the pair hug my foot through a 150km rugged MTB trail between Ulladulla and Jarvis bay -lrb- nsw south coast -rrb- multiple surfing and suping trip to the beach and lake , shopping centre , really wet tent setup and pack up . this pair literaly hug my foot . neoprene interior be nice and comfy and I could wear it despite 3\/4 cut -lrb- from snorkele in shell infested bay -rrb- on my toe -lrb- with bandaid of course -rrb- . the sole be tough and structure like my shimano bike sandal and the grip\/traction be excellent !! I do wear it at work -lrb- legal due to toe cover -rrb- in very hot australian summer day -lrb- mercury hit 47 last week -rrb- . my female camper colleague be so overwhelm by my constant eulogy of Keen Newport that she order a pair from Amazon last week . I strongly recommend this pair for all-terain multi-outdoor activity . +783 Sandal POS 5 I be on about my fourth pair of these . they be almost the only shoe I wear on the boat in the summertime . the sipe sole afford traction on a wet deck . I find the best price on Amazon , so I order two pair ... one for home and one for the boat . +404 Sandal POS 5 I buy this Sandal for my Son In Law for he birthday . he have be ask for they for a while , so he be very excite when he receive they . he say that they be sooo comfortable . and I like this olive\/grey . it ge with eerything . +42 Sandal POS 4 I be about to order my third pair , but fair warn these be for light duty use . they have soft grippy sole with air pocket that can handle almost anything with comfort on a occasional basis , but be best use if the majority of walking be do in a carpeted area . if you walk on concrete\/tar a lot , you 'll probably find the sole do not last long enough for you taste . first the center air bubble will pop , then the inner sole will crack along the back of the bubble , and once that happen , they leak . Mine have last about a year and a half on average , but I be fairly sedentary most day . definitely not a shoe for foot-dragger . +953 Sandal POS 5 after purchase 3 pair of keen Siskiyou shoe and love they for they wear , comfort , and great fit , I decide to try the h2 sandal . Have have the first pair for over a year and a half , and they be my only summer footwear . I wear they for fishing , camping , golfing , shopping , walk , and mow the lawn . they be extremely comfortable , and I just love they . I just order a second pair because I want another color . keen shoe and sandal be a little pricey , but if you shop on line you can save 20 % or more . I buy my first pair of sandal for $ 64 and my first pair of shoe for $ 54 ! the only sandal and shoe I wear be keens-stylish , comfortable , and they hold up under all condition . +673 Sandal POS 5 I have never orderd shoe online before because it be such a gamble on get the right fit . the h2 's be exactly right on . very comfortable fit . my foot do not slide around inside and no heel slap like on most sandal . I be very impressed with the construction of the shoe - very heavy duty material . I wear they everywhere , even in the fall . I now have two pair of different color . you can not buy a better sandal . +976 Sandal POS 5 I have use they everday since I buy they and they have be great . ex . I go to Busch Gardens Williamsburg , VA and walk around with they the whole day from 10-6 and then some after that and my foot never hurt and I do not get any blister the next day . I already buy a second pair +644 Sandal POS 5 of all the Birkenstocks I have have -- and that be many -- this style be my very favorite . I have have they in black , navy , tan , and silver . I have quite a few other style but the basic style of these be suitable for just about any outfit . I suffer from Neuropathy , and cant wear just any shoe . also , my foot be quite narrow , and if a sandal isnt adjustable , it isnt narrow enough for my skinny foot . if you foot be wide , they will adjust to fit wide foot too . +101 Sandal POS 5 I have own three different pair of these sandal and they be the best ! they take a couple week to break in , but once they contour to you foot , they be incredibly comfortable and resilient . I live in Arizona so I wear they almost every day and everywhere . ca not find a more durable yet comfortable sandal in my opinion . Worth the money ! +872 Sandal NEU 3 these be super premium sandal that be highly seek after and fashion forward . they look great with everything . one huge problem though be that the break in period be go on 3 day now and show no sign of abate . I be talk serious pain . the leather strap just tear up my foot to the point that I can not wear these anymore for awhile . cool sandal should not hurt so much . +49 Sandal POS 5 my wife buy I a pair about five year ago at Macy 's . this year I buy two new pair from Amazon at about half the price . one tan and one black even though the first pair be still in great shape . I be afraid I would not be able to find they again . so comfortable that I use they for walk shoe . they look good for many occassion . well make and they polish up like new . +227 Sandal POS 4 the keen website 's statement about 1\/2 size upping and the few post here regard the size concerned I a bit , so I would like to place my input by say for I it be true to size . the toe have a gap , but barely . and it really do have a sneaker feel to it with sandal comfort . one thing odd be that the right and leave shoe fit differently in appearance . could be my foot . for example ... the right small toe be cover under a strap and the left small toe be the only open toe . odd . give they a go for the day and I find it to be comfortable . +317 Sandal POS 5 I be look for some sandal there be water proof . I have own a bunch of other leather Rainbow sandal but find they do not do well when they get even a little wet . these sandal hit the spot for just in time for my beach vacation . they be pretty comfortable but not as nice as the leather . I find they dry quickly and be not at all slippery on possibly slippery surface . I do not remember see on any of the tag if these have a lifetime warranty like the leather version . +826 Sandal POS 5 the sandle be comfortable , nice look , fairly inexpensive , and all in all I love they . will definitely recommend to all . +52 Sandal POS 5 this be a gift purchase . always a great purchase with Rainbow . usually buy brown or tan . go for black . happy with purchase . +646 Sandal POS 5 buy these shoe after a two week expedition in South America . my croc clog leave I want a more serious pair of water resistant footwear . pro : these shoe fill the void where the Crocs leave off as they provide more foot support for serious hike in rocky condition . they also provide a better , more secure fit , inspiring confidence in fast move situation . these shoe provide more slip resistance in river and lake environment . lastly , they be arguably more visually appealing than the Crocs . con : much heavier than Crocs , and less comfortable . they also provide less breathability than with the clog , especially in the ball of the foot area . in conclusion , the Newport h2 compliment my water shoe collection provide I with a higher performance option when I want to brave the outdoors in a aggressive manner . use : hiking , river\/lake activity , horseback ride , outdoor sport : volleyball , tennis , jet-skiing . +384 Sandal POS 5 normally , I would not spend this much on shoe , let alone sandal . but , these shoe be very well construct make they worth the money . the size run a little small for my foot , but they fit really well when you figure out the right size . with the closed toe make out of hard plastic , these thing be better than most sneaker . you can run with they and kick a soccer ball with no issue . they be also waterproof which make they very versatile . I wear they all the time and could not be happier ! +613 Sandal NEU 3 everyone I know who have these absolutely love they . for whatever reason , however , I have not be able to find a size that do not slide off of my foot ... if it be too small , it force my heel off the back , if it be too big , my heel fall off the back , if it be just right , my heel still fall off the back when I move . people rave about these thing , but they do not work for I -lrb- for context , I use they for a backpacking trip through shenandoah VA. . . I could not wear they to hike the stream because they come off right away . they have be permanently demote to my stationary bathing shoe -rrb- +719 Sandal POS 5 the soap be excellent and arrive in perfect condition and within the time promise . I will do business with this seller again . +997 Sandal POS 5 I would recommend these sandal to anyone . they be comfortable out of the box but get even better after a week or two , can get wet without any problem -lrb- unlike some of they leather counterpart -rrb- , and look great ! what more could you ask for ? +661 Sandal POS 5 these be pricey but where I live , I wear sandal all but 3 month a year . I check around for a better price but with the free shipping and no tax , Amazon could not be beat . when I first put they on they feel great and fit my foot well . I do not like the natural leather look as I seldom wear brown so I dye they blue . they now look like dress sandal . if you want well make sandal , these be it . +193 Sandal POS 4 i be worry about the way the sandal look in the picture since they round up , but ddint effect walk or anything . very comfortable my boyfriend say . he like they a lot ! +190 Sandal POS 4 I know I sound like a nut but yes , I be buy my fifth pair ! love these shoe soooooo much ! the foot bed be very comfortable and I love the look . my only gripe be they only last I about 12 to 18 month . I wear they every day after work and on the weekend and for a shoe that be suppose to last even if you get it wet ... these dont do so hot ... the thong be always where they fail . I sure wish Sperry would improve this !!! +41 Sandal POS 5 Great buy ! these sandal have last over four year now and honestly have a couple more in they . I would recommend these to anyone look for nice leather sandal . +155 Sandal POS 5 shoe be not a easy item for I to purchase . I would rather go to the dentist .

I have to admit when I first get they four year ago , I come from open towed sandal and think these be a little hot . but after a month break in period , they loosen to the point where they nice and airy when the bungee be loose , but snug and glue to my foot when pull tight .

I get the recommend size base on they size chart and end up with a short end of the stick . +926 Sandal POS 5 I love shopping for shoe online and not need to send back . love these ! +678 Sandal NEG 2 I purchase the Softbed in Jan 2012 . periodically , I have be wear it because the softbed and the arch support , especially the left arch , be poor and too high . it be hard on my foot . I have have imitation Birks & the sole and arch support be softer and more comfortable on my foot . however I think buy a Birk be a investment of quality and comfort which would have worth the cost . Disappointed ! many review say that Birks need to be ` break in . ' I do not think that my birk still need to be ` break in ? ' Quality of the sandal be great , but I may not be able to wear because of discomfort !! +939 Sandal POS 5 I be a woman 's size 7 and I buy a pair of these in a small man 's size because I hear the woman 's Rainbows be too narrow . these fit really great . I can not testify as to whether or not they mold to you foot -lrb- like the leather one -rrb- because I have only have they a day , but they do not seem to have the really horrible , painful break-in period like the leather one do . these be comfortable to wear right out of the package and do really well when they be wet -lrb- no slip and slide -rrb- . my fiance have a pair of the leather rainbow that he be be wear for 7 year and keep knock I for get a rubber pair but I have a feeling that this pair will be much more comfortable for I . +577 Sandal POS 5 the Birkenstock Arizona sandal be the first birkenstock I own , and it be still the most comfortable . I have be wear they for appr . 25 yearsnow . +937 Sandal POS 5 absolutely awesome h2o sandal ! I buy my Keen Newport H2o 's in 2005 to go on a trip to Costa Rica for 14 day . I be in sand , rock , mud , muck , lava rock , the ocean , river , everything in between , and they perform flawlessly . Easy to Clean , Lightweight , durable , great support , Great Protection , H2o Friendly . I still wear they every spring and summer and they be hold up very well . there be absolutely no separation that I can see anywhere on they , other than `` 1 string '' that go around the side patch where the keen logo be located . and as far as the toe guard go ... it be extremely Tuff . if you smack you toe against a rock , it just bounce right back . you might feel a vibration of course , but I honestly never hurt any toe in these shoe ... -lrb- knock on wood -rrb- . I would not be surprise if these last another 3 to 5 yr , but by then I will have buy a nice new pair of Keens : -rrb- highly recommend !! +816 Sandal NEG 2 the first time I wear it , it seem fun but the novelty wear off very soon . also , this be too costly +591 Sandal POS 4 at first I think spend this much money for a pair of sandle be normally not I . I would rather go to Walmart and get a pair of $ 25 special to last I a few month but the pickings be limit here on Guam -lrb- and no Walmart . a Kmart but no Walmart -rrb- I think I give `` online '' shop a try . I find these keen on Amazon and base my choice due to the color to be honest ... man 's blue yellow fade represent the Navy Colors . so I take a gamble and spend so-so money for these shoe and since they arrive I have wear they everyday . they that comfortable . the next time I need sandle I be go keen again . sorry Walmart . +47 Sandal POS 5 the keen website list the Newport h2 as a water shoe and the regular Newport as a Trailhead shoe -lrb- with leather upper that be waterproof -rrb- . both be the same price . I prefer the regular Newport for these reason : a. -rrb- the footbed have a suede leather cover , which make it more comfortable and cooler that the uncovered footbed on the h2 . b. -rrb- because of the elasticity in the h2 upper strap and by design , the h2 be a tighter fit and also harder to get into . to I this make the Newport more comfortable . c. -rrb- although not as water hefty as the h2 , my regualar newport can and do handle occasional water . +333 Sandal POS 5 these be a replacement pair of rainbow since my last pair recently break after a couple year . I get much wear out of these sandal and they form fit to you foot . great delivery time and everything +850 Sandal POS 4 i wear my sperry daily during the summer and these have always treat I well . this be my 4th pair and they havent hold up like previous pair +900 Sandal POS 5 my granddaughter love she new sandal . she have very flat foot and that be the only kind off sandal that keep she foot in place ! +894 Sandal POS 5 on Christmas day my Sperry sandal break . I be wish I could fix they . I wear they out . yes they be the greatest sandal I own both aboard my boat and at home . I do not recomend a open toe for tho who drop thing but for comfort and quality ... Sperry be the best ... & they look good ... . hope they in stock ! +587 Sandal POS 5 I purchase these sandal for my son and he like they . the only thing he do not care for be the buckle on the sandal +346 Sandal POS 5 this be the best fitting flip flop type shoe . it be well worth the price for the look ... the fit ... and the life of the shoe . +205 Sandal POS 4 this be a lovely sandal but beware of the size . I have return a pair already . I be measure as a 39 for Birkis -lrb- which I be tell run longer than birkenstock -rrb- . well , I find that this be not entirely true , especially if you order a soft footbed . although I be measure for 39 ... I wear 9 US ... I find it be too short to fit properly accord to the Birkis suggestion on where heel and toe must go . so now I must reorder a size larger and hope that it be not a huge leap . unfortunately you can not order half size in this as that would probably be perfect . beware of the size . +400 Sandal POS 5 right out of the box these thing be very comfortable . wear they around the house , in the yard , take the doggie for a walk , and the Mrs out for Rita 's ... and it be like I have be wear they for year . no issue with toe rub on the front end of the shoe . great shoe . very happy so far . +684 Sandal POS 5 great pair off sandal . the one or two week break in be not fun , but well worth the wait . +606 Sandal POS 5 very comfortable , very affordable , would highly recommend they for anyone who want a very satisfying sandal , , , would buy this item again , and again , and again +819 Sandal POS 5 I purchase this since I have be purchase the leather one for few year and these may even last longer than the leather one . regardless , I will find out in four year . I own other keen shoe as well since Keen be very comfortable and the toe guard be the best protection I can get on any hike trip or construction site without wear a steel toe shoe . I go through a keen Newport every four year . the leather loose its deep color to a beautiful bleach color since it be continuously expose to water , sun and heat every time I wear keen to my water ski trip . the biggest advantage of keen shoe be its sole . do not stink and I do not have to wear sock so I wear it all the time even when I go to the club and do weight lifting . no other shoe or sandal can ever come close to the comfort , toe protection , expose open surface , no stink sole , durability year after year , use after use in water or land . Bravo . +999 Sandal POS 5 I now have two pair of these great shoe . the velcro strap be essential for a old guy like I , because when I try to bend over and tie lace , my face get so red that my wife think I be have a heart attack . they fit perfectly , and be by far my most comfortable footwear -lrb- not count barefoot , which I like best of all -rrb- . +665 Sandal POS 5 Sperry have it go on with the Santa Cruz Mens Thong Sandal ! Easy break in time ! a hour be like you have have they for over a month . good quality leather and stitching , good material bonding on the sole , no drip run on the bonding resin . they appear a shade lighter in life than on the web image . Watch the shoe size chart , the size ten be actually measure 11.25 inch -lrb- Foot Area -rrb- on the platform inside the ridge , from the big toe area back , go right of the thong , to the middle of the heel area . light , flexible , and very comfortable with the Sperry `` Wave '' pattern both on the platform and the tread . I would buy two pair so when these wear out -lrb- or somebody steal they -rrb- you 'll have another pair ! +759 Sandal POS 5 this be my second pair of Rainbows . of all the flip flop I have own over the year , these be in a league of they own . they be by far the most comfortable and foot-supportive that I have own . I use to be a huge island slipper fan - they be not close to the comfort of Rainbows . they also have a unbelievable warranty . like a pair of Birkenstock sandal , rainbow require a break-in period . the flip side be that break-in mean that they be adjust to you foot . +967 Sandal NEG 1 Adidas make some great shoe . so I think these Adidas sandal would be great , too ! the concept be intriguing : hundred of little `` nub '' be suppose to `` massage '' you foot as you walk . these nub , however , be make of hard rubber , and it be like walk over gravel barefooted ! the nub be too hard and space too widely apart to support the bottom of you foot without uncomfortable pressure ! maybe if you be that kenyan marathon runner who run barefooted and have callus a inch thick on the bottom of he foot and wear these sandal , you would feel comfortable in they . but if you foot be `` tender '' and you be not use to go barefooted , these sandal be guarantee to make you feel like you be walk over sharp object ! the nub , of course , be not sharp enough to penetrate you skin , but they do not feel good to sensitive foot ! I think these sandal would make my foot feel better , but after a hour I take they off and go back to my regular sandal for wear around the house . these should be redesign to have `` fatter '' nub . these nub be more like blunt nail ! you would not think so just to look at they , but on you foot these sandal be a different matter ! if you want to massage you foot , do it yourself or find a friend willing to help you out , but skip these sandal ! +801 Sandal POS 4 this be my 2nd pair of the Birkenstock cozumel silky toe thong . I find they very comfortable and really find the taupe a useable neutal color . I really appreciate be able to find a narrow by from order from Amazon . this size be hard to find . my only complaint about the shoe be the suede over the toe strap seperate on both this shoe and my prior pair . I have be wear birkenstock for 10 + year . I have a injured arch and I begin wear they at my doctor 's recommendation . I have several style and would not be without they , arch problem or no arch problem . I wear other type shoe very rarely +582 Sandal POS 5 I just recently purchase the Mens Rainbow Sandals Premier Leather double stack in black after purchase a Mens single stack in brown 8 month before . one of the complaint I have about the single stack be that there be not sufficient support where my heel be . however , the double stack be incredible ! there be so much support and cushion that I could walk for hour and hour in they ! I will never buy single stack again . Rainbow 's be the best and I will never waste my money buy any other sandal ever again ! -lrb- by the way , I be a woman who wear a size 10 in woman 's in the US . I have find that Mens large rainbow fit I best because my foot be not only long , but also wide . -rrb- +224 Sandal POS 5 my daughter be so excite when she open she birthday gift . she have one pair of Birks already but she want a sandal . t +53 Sandal POS 5 very comfortable . much nicer then the last keen I have . love the black on black . the yellow look great . thanks +568 Sandal POS 4 looks\/feels good but the sole be a little too stiff for my liking ... get to be uncomfortable when walk around a lot +96 Sandal POS 5 this be a great product . I be not a small guy and for a `` performance sandal '' to remain comfortable for hour at a time be a real accomplishment . the product be comfortable with a nicely shaped footbed , and once you adjust the tightness , you forget that you have it on . great to walk on the boardwalk , wear to the mall shopping , to the movie , whatever destination that you choose . one of the best footwear purchase that I have make . I have a hard time find truly comfortable shoe because I have a narrow foot and underpronate . this be super . +749 Sandal NEG 2 these sandal look nice and appear to be good quality . sadly they strap on top be sooo tight that I can barely fit my foot into the sandal . only purchase if you have thin foot . +691 Sandal POS 4 I have some wooden shoe many year ago and like they so much that I see these and order they . they be a lot lighter in weight than I think they would be . however , they seem to be pretty sturdy . a thing that be good about they be that they do not '' flip back '' in the front when walk like lightweight plastic can do . I be not use to have something in between my toe so still get use to that ! +245 Sandal NEU 3 I do not write many product review , but I think I would chip in my two cent to help the next guy . I love these sandal for they comfort and fit . I wear they on a couple of backpack trip with 40 lb on my back tromp through stream along the way , and I never have the slightest hint of a blister on my foot . my review of three star be four three reason : First of all , they only last about 18 month . keen have a 12 month warranty , so do not expect they to outlast that by much -lrb- my day-to-day use be more sit in a cubicle than backpack through wet terrain -rrb- . second , they be heavy . these weigh a multiple of you standard flip-flop sandal and probably more than you tennis shoe . Third , and this be probably more I than the shoe , they tend to get very stinky . I do not know if they need a wash out hole in the toe or what , but they tend to build up gunk in the toe and really smell up the house . all in all , I would buy another pair , but for the price you should be able to expect more durability . they be cheaply glue together and will start the clock to fall apart the moment you put they on you foot . +189 Sandal POS 5 provide for a pleasant shave with no aroma . use it in conjunction with a inexpensive black plastic shave brush holder and plastic travel case for my Gillette Mach 3 razor . Have have 20 shave so far and it appear that the soap will last for month . suggest you take you shave brush and spread it against the sink while the water be run so that the entire shave brush be wet when lather . also , I purchase a wooden soap holder which be superior to a `` cold '' metal holder or plastic holder . best part be that I have a handy ledge build under my mirror to hold all my shaving and other necessity . now , the shave item be handy and the sink surface be best use for other item . I have use a inexpensive shave soap prior to the Geo F. Trumper sandalwood shave soap but now I have find the right brand . the sandalwood shave soap be a major part in make shave a pleasant experience each day . I be sell on the soap . +619 Sandal POS 5 I already know I love the product as I have be wear they for over 20 year . the price be great and the shipping be fast , come from Germany . +714 Sandal POS 5 I rarely buy expensive shoe , and I have never buy shoe online before . I need a pair of sandal I could hike in . I hate sneaker . I hate sock . these shoe be highly review , so I think I would try they . the fit be great . the ball of the foot\/toe area be quite roomy , but not so loose as to cause chafing . the insole be supportive in just the right place , soft , springy , very nice to walk on . these shoe breath . I be worry that a closed toe would leave my foot hot , but somehow , it feel like there be a breeze blow through my foot . also , these shoe be perfectly true to size . I be a absolute 7.5 m. 8 's be too big , 7 's be too small . this 7.5 shoe fit I perfectly . my only regret -- they be really too casual to wear to the office . +381 Sandal POS 5 the keen sandal be simply the best I have ever have . they be very comfortable , fit you foot perfectly and the toe protection they offer be superior to any other I have ever try ! +730 Sandal POS 5 I buy these stacy 's for husband year back and search high and low . . voilum ! thank you Amazon ! these fit perfectly , come ontime for we trip . . will always order these thru Amazon cant beat the price . +405 Sandal POS 4 these sandal provide awesome support . unfortunately , I have issue with my sandal get that `` sweaty smell . '' although these have a rubber bottom and be easy to clean , they still retain a smell . great product . +74 Sandal POS 4 I buy a pair for I and another for my wife just before leave for vacation to Hawaii and we be really happy with the result . the shoe be really comfortable and the foot can `` breathe '' . the cord to tie be very useful and they be also waterproof ! the only con be that it be really easy to get sand and pebble depend on where you be and remove they be not that easy . +328 Sandal POS 5 I be delighted with these sandal . I find that they be generously size and very well padded and supportive . I think that I should be able to hike comfortably all day in these though I have not be out much yet , -lrb- January in Minnesota -rrb- . +727 Sandal POS 5 sandal be comfortable and durable . you can literally feel the quality when you put they on . they be a little tight for the first couple day until you break they in , and after that they be amazing . I would buy they again in a heartbeat . you will not regret this purchase ! +868 Sandal NEG 1 these be pure torture . I can only hope the nib start break down . these be only tolerable with sock . buy something else you will not be sorry . +755 Sandal POS 5 these be the Rainbow Thong Sandals with great comfort and strap and arch support . these be very comfortable-right away-no break in time ! the toe strap be pad and very supportive of you foot-no discomfort here . at last , Rainbow quality with immediate comfort . if you have wide foot , these will fit very well . I be and everyday Thong Sandal user , and comfort and support be a must . as with all Thong Sandals , order -lrb- 1 -rrb- size larger than you would usually wear , for true flip flop comfort . buy today\/enjoy !! +15 Sandal POS 5 shortly after buy shoe I put it the test . I ware they canoe in upper Michigan and then kayake on the Youghiogheny river . they hold up great and still look new . +312 Sandal POS 5 I agree 100 % with " frustrated ... " and have no reason to shop this store any more . I too , buy this great product in bulk when possible and would have buy case of it , have I know it be go to be discontinue . my impression be that the store be substitute cheaper thing to sell for greater profit ; this anger I . if people would not buy the cheaper thing though , the store would not do it . I , for one , refuse to knowingly buy junk just because I can not get quality . +761 Sandal POS 5 we order these shoe , they be what my husband want . we receive they before time promise . completely satisfy . +66 Sandal POS 4 I purchase this sandal about a month ago and have wear it virtually every day since its arrival . I be well please with it as it be quite comfortable to the extent I wear it . I tend to shift in and out of several shoe during a day so I can not comment to its comfort if worn for extended time or over substantial distance . Mid-October , 2012 . still wear these sandal , though with sock on some crispy day . my foot be happy in they . I have a painful right foot which have be problematic since my early teens . Dress shoe have always be a exercise in stoic endurance for I . most shoe grow uncomfortable in a matter of hour . I habitually change footwear several time a day to keep thing under control . as I have age I have less padding on the sole of my foot result in mount discomfort . only one pair of Columbia hiker permit I hike all over North and East Africa oblivious to my foot . until these sandal . I have find that I can wear they nearly all day walk for mile , change only when I get home . it must be wonderful to have normal foot . I hope you be not take yours for grant . now that I get old enough to not give a damn I may even evolve into wear they with formal attire . Einstein get away with non-conformance to social convention . I may just have to remain silent so that people think I must be brilliant , and eccentric . happy foot . +576 Sandal POS 5 Ok , I confess , it kill I to spend $ 50 on shoe . but at 38 , and on my foot all day , plus fill in the mid-drift ... the shoe I wear in the young hottie day be get they revenge . worse yet ... at a size 10.5-11 w , I can not find shoe to fit . in need of some water wading shoe , I find a purple pair of this model -lrb- incorrectly show as red on this site -rrb- that I think be too `` off color '' for professional wear , but worthy of play shoe ... for a clearance price of $ 30 comfort to please my desperation , who could deny the deal ? shoot . I do not care if they have bright flash fuschium blinkers and a whoopie cushion to boot . these shoe rock . I live 3 hr from the birkenstock place I find they in WA , and when I head back that direction , I be clear the keen sale shelf , and buy a reg price pair that be appropriate in style for professional wear . the shoe be kind of wierd look . . but I see birkenstock as wierd look -lrb- which didnt work out for I -- very painful -rrb- . if you have plantar faciati -lrb- sp ? -rrb- problem , here be a house shoe answer . see , I also drop these shoe next to my bed so I can make it to the bathroom in the middle of the night without tear up my arch . they be so comfortable . and the shoe be breathable , but not cold , not hot , not prone to stretch with sock on , no sock wear . it be year of shoe nightmare come to a end . I have have 'em for 6 week now , weigh 235 lb -lrb- fluffy amazon chick -rrb- and the shoe look like it will hold it be own -- wet or dry . a challenge , consider size 6 , 110 lb girl shoe be make with the same material as the larger size ... like harness up a chihuahua the same as a St. Bernard ! Hope this help . these shoe be my hunt complete . oh , it appear all shoe be make with the same funky , loveable sole . +822 Sandal NEG 1 I be highly disapointed , I love Birkenstock , and own several pair , I have problem with my foot and Birkenstock & Keen be the only sandal type shoe I can wear and not hurt at the end of the day . these be very cheaply make , they do not fit like regular birkenstock and they be not worth the price , cheap plastic and my toe hang over the front of the thong by almost 1\/2 and inch and yes they be in the mail to be return +970 Sandal NEU 3 the fit be a little tight . but the length of the sole fit my foot so I hope the ankle strap stretch over time . the size run small so get a half size down . I be usually a 10 but the newport i have before and these h2 be 9.5 . see customer pic of my 7 year old leather newport on Amazon . happy with the color but the material seem way cheaper and thinner than I have expect . not supprise since every other chinese product I buy keep get cheaper or crappier . and what happen in most company 's quality control dept ?!? do they even exist anymore ? +171 Sandal NEG 1 I have wide foot and they Rainbow do not make a single size that my size 12 foot can slip into . +706 Sandal POS 5 good quality , nice model , beatiful color , really confortable . nice packeging ... nice for my mom lol . I would buy it again +374 Sandal POS 5 my husband do not know he need these but they be comfortable from the first and he love they . very well make , attractive and versatile . have not use the water-proof part yet but glad to have it . +551 Sandal POS 5 I have be wear Birkenstock sandal for the last twenty-five year , however this Birkenstock Arizona Soft Footbed Sandal be by far the most comfortable . this soft footbed be amazing , and there seem to be a very short break-in period . as a orthotic footwear , the correction and benefit derive from wear Birkenstocks sandal be also a very good selling point . I would highly recommend the Birkenstock Soft Footbed Sandals . +84 Sandal POS 5 before I begin , let I say that before I pull the trigger on these I be very skeptical about pay $ 45 -lrb- the price when I buy mine -rrb- for a pair of flip flop . I be guess that if you be comb through review , you may be feel the same way . here be what I have find after pay the $ 45 : Bad : as many other review have note , there be a break-in time for these sandal , which be about 1-2 week depend upon how long you wear the sandal per day . I have pretty wide foot and the strap be tight across the top and both side of my foot , but it never cause blistering or anything worse than the feeling of the strap be too tight . also realize that any flip flop that be better quality than the Old Navy plastic one will have this period of break-in , with possibly the exception of Sanuks . I have previously own reef smoothy sandal and leather smoothy sandal and both pair have a similar time of break-in . good : I have be completely satisfy with these sandal , and they be worth the price . as state above , I have previously own 2 pair of reef , which be both slightly cheaper than the Rainbows . the first one be a smoothy sandal which be nice , for a while . I have very sweaty foot and my sweat would cause a black foamy substance -lrb- from contact with the smoothy plantar surface -rrb- to form between my fourth and pinky toe . I have no idea why this happen . they also wreak after about 6 month . I discover , however , that leather surface do not produce the smell nor do they hold sweat so I decide my next pair would be leather , again reef . that pair be about $ 5 less than Rainbows , but they be complete trash . in about 3 month the leather from the plantar surface of the sandal begin pull away from the sole of the flip flop . it look horrible and the separation become so bad that the sole of the sandal would hang down and catch curb or stair . so I toss they and purchase these . I have have these rainbow for about 2 year . they literally look just as good as the day i get they , except that they be wider now -lrb- from break they in -rrb- and there have be some wear away of the tread on the sole of the sandal . there be no separation of the leather from the sole , even after get they wet several time . the arch support be great and have not fall . I love these flip flop and I wish I have save my money and purchase these the first time . if you be debate between high quality flip flop , especially if you be look at reef , please purchase these . the quality of the Reefs have plummet , but these seem quite reliable . +871 Sandal NEU 3 I have purchase Clarks sandal for nearly a decade . about ten year ago , I stumble upon a Clarks sandal that fit I absolutely perfectly - comfortable right out of the box . they be so comfortable and fit so well , that I could actually jog several mile in they without the slightest difficulty . when they get long in the tooth , and know that style change and company go out of business , I buy three replacement pair of that issue of the Clarks Sandal . last year when the last of those three pair finally expire , I see the Hudson advertise at Amazon . think this be the sandal I have grow accustomed to , I purchase two pair . to my disappointment , they be not quite -lrb- almost , but not quite -rrb- as well fitting as the previous edition . I think that stem from the fact that Clarks change the design of the rear strap . on the older style , I could position my foot exactly over the center of the sole of the sandal -lrb- use the front strap -rrb- and then snug up the rear strap for a perfect fit . with this new design , there be a limit to how far you can pull the rear strap in . to get the same snug feel , I now have to tighten the two front strap , but this cause my foot to come too far back on the sole for optimal comfort . in another review , I read that a trip to a shoe maker to adjust the strap help overcome a similar problem . I suppose , if the rear strap be shorten and the end nicely stitch off , my problem would be solve . but then these sandal would have cost I more than the $ 79 and change advertise here . I 'll try another brand first -lrb- this time at a shoe store -rrb- . if no other maker come close , then I 'll be back to Clarks . lastly , when I purchase the orininal set of three -lrb- and the pair I start with -rrb- , they be still make in England . not anymore , if that matter ... +600 Sandal POS 5 I abolutely love this product . the fragrance balance be perfect . not too strong but do not fade with the day . it be one of the few product that do not cause a allergic reaction with my skin . I wish that bath and body work would start make and market it again . bottom line : Love the product . furstrate with the company . +764 Sandal NEG 1 after eight month use as shower shoe one of the strap disconnect from the sole . crap Crap Crap Crap Crap . +803 Sandal POS 4 I buy this a year ago in a barbershop in Ireland and the soap be still with I . I shave three time a week -lrb- I like to grow a little stubble -rrb- and I would say that 60-70 % of the cake be leave . the lather be easy to get if you prime it -lrb- let the cake -lrb- and you brush -rrb- soak in water while you be take a shower -rrb- and the smell be great ; fresh , clean and sandalwood-sy . + + great scent + decent lather + longevity - you have to prep the soap to get a good lather . +844 Sandal POS 4 very impressive sandal . . fit comfortably on you foot . . size run about half-size bigger . . a couple of year back I order a pair of size 7.5 m timberland Barnstead trail shoe and they fit nicely . . +282 Sandal NEU 3 I have purchase one of they some week ago . these shoe be comfortable and I like they for a long walk but the size it be a little bit different accord to another sandal and the quality of some part be not too suitable . First and last I can give only a medium graduation . +991 Sandal POS 5 very comfortable , even with my high arch , feel good wet or dry . it do feel a little warm at first with the covered toe and black color but I get use to it quickly . someone earlier complain about the elastic tie flop and make a noise ... uh , tuck it in to the lace at the front of the shoe . +348 Sandal NEG 1 I really really try to like these . I wear they for day , I stand in salt water , I try everything people suggest but these be the most uncomfortable sandal I have ever touch . maybe people see these like some kind of cave man rite of passage . you endure week of blister and sore foot to break in these awful thing to prove you be a real man ... +653 Sandal POS 5 when I first buy the sandal I be little spectable because , have never wear a rainbow before . at first they seem little rough and within few day they break down and adjust to my fit and the leather smoothen . now I can not tell you how much I love they and I dont even want to take they off . the leather seem to be ver sturdy and the nylon sole be very strong . overall and awesome product highly recommend . also keep in mind that they run small so need to get one size larger then you wear . for example I wear sice 8.5 and have to buy 9.5 to 10.5 and fit just fine . !!! +897 Sandal POS 5 I have bilateral plantar faciitis and if you know what that be then you know how it feel , and wear these sandal help to alleviate the pain all together because of it be ability to conform to you foot and give excellent support . I recommend these sandal to anyone who want comfort for they foot and especially for those folk who need support inside the house and be not able to walk barefoot . Great for the money and worth every dime ! +855 Sandal NEG 2 I buy these to take to Jamaica . I have read all the review and they sound like a great pair of shoe . I put they on and in a few minute of just stand my foot be hot . I could not believe how hot my foot get just stand in one place . I walk back and forth across the room and my foot be cool as long as I be walk . the the footbed of the shoe be hard and slightly pebbley . after I take they off the bottom of my foot be tender . I be a little disappointed in they . since the shoe be not cheap I decide to return they . that same day i order a pair of Teva Omnium shoe . the Tevas arrive a few day latter and I love they . my recommendation be pass on these shoe and for about the same money buy a pair of Tevas . +268 Sandal NEG 2 Rainbow Sandals Mens double Layer Premier Leather the color be also off black be really dark gray . +518 Sandal POS 4 I buy these as a replacement pair for the old leather reef flip flop that I love but they no longer make . as state in other review , expect a serious break in period . these sandal be very tight at first and actually rub the top of my foot raw the first time I wear they for a extend period of walk . however , the strap stretch out and the foot bed compress down so they loosen up and really do become very comfortable . if you can deal with a couple uncomfortable day at first in exchange for -lrb- hopefully -rrb- a few year of solid comfort , go ahead and pick a pair up . +989 Sandal NEU 3 I like the shoe do not get I wrong . they look great and be comfortable . but , the big problem be the cheap dye come off on you foot when you wear they . I get blue dye on my foot and it be worse when you wear sock with they . the shoe do not even get wet and I be not sweating . I guess this will eventually fade -lrb- pun intend -rrb- but I never have a pair of shoe that do this . keen should be ashamed of themselves and offer these shoe at a much lower price ! +517 Sandal POS 5 I buy these specifically for a 5-day canoe trip to the BWCA . they be my first pair of `` hike sandal '' . they perform spectacularly . they be comfortable and do not give I blister , despite the fact that I do not wear sock and have not take the time to properly condition my foot . I feel like I abuse they to a fair degree and they really hold up , as do my foot . I be not a keen fan before my trip , but I be now . +300 Sandal POS 4 these be high quality sandal , but , at least for I , I would like the toe strap to be place just slightly more right . where my foot would naturally sit the strap fall right where my middle toe be , this lead to my foot not be entirely center on the sandal , just slightly crooked . it be not a big deal , but I have never have this issue with any other flip-flop , and have notice the same wear pattern on other people that wear Rainbow flip-flop . if they change this issue I would rate these a 5\/5 and they would be the only flip-flop I would ever buy again because they meet my criterion to the letter besides that issue . +747 Sandal NEG 1 the description of the shoe indicate they be ideal for foot with low arch . the review rave over the fit . I find however that the shoe be extremely hard and they do not stay on as indicate . never do get any softer nor fit my foot . not please at all . +476 Sandal POS 5 this be my second pair . these be quality shoe . highly recomemend . fit true to size -lrb- at least in the 8m -rrb- . best price be on Amazon . +288 Sandal POS 5 this be the best pair of sandal Ive ever wear ! they be extremely comfortable , stylish , and very durable . people always compliment I and ask I where I get they from . you can get they cheaper at you local Dillards . about $ 10 cheaper and no shipping cost . +781 Sandal POS 5 this be the fifth pair of these sandal that I have own in the past ten year and I find they to be outstanding . they be comfortable , easy to walk in and keep my foot cool . I wear these sandal almost exclusively on we trip to Europe every year and they be outstanding travel footwear . a slight problem be that the velcro fastener tend to wear out and they become a little hardus to fasten , but by the time this become a real issue , I have usually wear they out . I keep hear that this model have be discontinue , but I can always find they somewhere ; the last two pair be purchase from Amazon , with free prime shipping . +197 Sandal POS 5 I have have my h2 sandal for over 3 year , and have put well over 1k mile on mine . around town , in the water , and on the trail . they have not wear out or fall apart , or lose color . I do have to have a shoe repairman reinforce the seam on the fabric where the side panel meet the sole , maybe 100 mile ago , but after 1k mile , I guess a little seam repair be more than reasonable . I just buy another pair , on sale , but they be still in the box cause the old one be still go strong . +731 Sandal POS 5 my first pair of the keen sandal , I love they . they be very comfortable . I purchase they through Amazon at a very reasonable price , they usually cost in the hundred dollar range . that be all I have to say about that ! +955 Sandal NEG 1 today be a first and only day i put these shoe on - and it will be the last one indeed . poorly , ill design product , horrible sole that twist foot with every step - I wish I try it on sooner - now I can not even return it . really bad product . P.S. and that be not even get to the part where I will have to say that `` leather '' look like cheap plastic they use for packaging and it shine just the same , and smell ... OMG ! have to admit - that be my first ever Stacy Adams and I will happily get back to Cole Haan and Allen Edmonds - as always you get what you pay for ... +367 Sandal POS 5 so glad I make this purchase , new sandal with soft footbed . excellent for those who have flat foot but love to wear sandal . +259 Sandal POS 5 my husband have not take these sandal off since we get they - except for when he be asleep at night !! do that tell you anything ?? +355 Sandal POS 5 I buy these for my hubby after rave about my own for month - I take a punt and base my hubby 's size use the eur size to match with current shoe and sandal he have and ' shazam ' I have a win ... I have be wear these in a big kid size 6 because it be a 39 but nice and wide for I and they cost less so I have they in about 6 different color - WASSA -lrb- the hubby -rrb- love they we wear they walk the dog cause we usually end up in the water at the beach or in the creek and he think they be perfect - I get the one 's with the close in heel for myself , I be a little paranoid about cut my foot on rock and coral which can end up in a ugly infection ... really really comfy and you just can not kill 'em - throw they in the washer or a bucket with soap to freshen if they get a bit on the nose . +55 Sandal NEU 3 size run a little small but over all a decent sandal . this be my second pair and like original one better . +772 Sandal NEG 2 the ad say above that these run true to size . what sizing method ? I want to have this style as I like the way it look and seem to be very high quality and the promise of comfort , but I 'll never know as I could not find a size to fit my average foot . they be way too narrow ! if you have a narrow foot , they 'll probably fit fine , but if you have a normal or wide foot ... FORGET IT ! I be fotunate that I have the oppertunity to try these on from a `` brick-n-mortar '' store , so I could try on several style and size . Mephisto seem to run narrow all the way across the board . +744 Sandal POS 5 I find the keen h2 to be my favorite shoe for sailing . they be very comfortable with great traction . they be also fantastic at the beach . they be stylish , well build my favorite summer shoe . +70 Sandal POS 5 the Sperry sandal be a well make product and have a sole that be very good on wet and slippery deck . I would difinately recommend this product . +203 Sandal POS 5 for the last 10 year , I have be wear reef everywhere from Idaho to Baja , but they wear out so fast I switch to Rainbow which I have not worn since my high school day in Malibu . I have only be wear they a month or so , but they be break in nicely , and I anticipate they will prove durable . they say you can never go home again , but there be a tinge of yesteryear that be pretty sweet with my new Rainbow sandal . I think I find my tread of preference for the next 30 year . thanks Rainbow ! +666 Sandal NEG 1 because I have be rob and assault . First off , the quality be terrible . like other , the nub start pop off nearly from day one . I own a lot of adida product and this be by far the worst I have ever purchase . thanks for steal my money . second , my foot have never feel worse . the sole of my foot feel like they have be stab to death to the point that I have to ice my foot to feel better . I buy these in hope of `` massage '' my foot after run , as I be lead to believe by the product name . instead ... ouch . I would like to note that I be a average size guy . no one -lrb- well , in America at least -rrb- would refer to I as fat or obese . my doctor whine at I to drop some weight , but I be not heavy enough for these sandal to be fall apart and cause severe pain . I should have go with the callissage as I have those before , however I find the `` massage '' effect of those to be nonexistent . +390 Sandal POS 4 a lot of people say it feel a half size too small but I think it feel true to both size and width . I receive these shoe and be please to find that there be not any break-in time . I have a job where I walk around for 8 hour straight ; I wear these the first day without any pain later that evening or the next day . there be a adjustable elastic cord that can be tighten , but I think the shoe be more comfortable if they be leave a little loose . I have they tighten one day and notice a pinch sensation after a couple hour of use . another reason to wear they loose be that it make it easier to put they back on if you foot be wet or sweaty they feel like they have very good traction but I be not walk through river with slippery rock so it be not the best test . because these be closed-toe sandal , it create a problem when small rock , sand , or other object get into the shoe . I find that I can not just wiggle my foot around to get rid of the nuisance , I need to take the shoe completely off and dump it out . another thing I notice about these shoe be that it dry out the back of my heel . I only have to apply lotion once to correct the dryness and I have not have a problem since , but it be something to be aware of . overall this be a great sandal and I do not have to worry about stick or other object stab my toe because of the closed-toe feature . I have own these for about a month now and they do not show any sign of wear so I expect they to hold up for a long time . I would not recommend they for walk around on the beach because sand and rock get trap underneath you foot and up in the toe area , but for walk through river and as a casual shoe these be great . one last problem that I just think of be that they be not comfortable for stand around with minimal movement for long period of time . it be possibly just my foot , but anyone interested in these should try they on and stand around for a while to see how they feel . +417 Sandal POS 5 wonderful flip flop . I buy they as a birthday gift for my boyfriend and he love they . +623 Sandal POS 5 great versatile footwear . casual for the beach or boat ... can be worn as a more dress shoe with sock if desire . machine washable , odor resistant +433 Sandal POS 5 I purchase these for my 13 year old . they be instantly comfortable , and he wear they everywhere . +213 Sandal POS 4 I buy these for my brother for Christmas . he wear 8.5 w -lrb- US -rrb- so I buy the 42m -lrb- EU -rrb- and they fit perfectly . it be a little difficult order shoe in european size without try they on , but the size scale be accurate . he love they ! they ship fast and in a official Birkenstock shoe box . +6 Sandal POS 5 within two week of buy my first pair , I buy two more . a lot of people say to get a half size larger-i purchase my regular size and they be fine . I get a kick out of wear my brightly color shoes-they look so cheerful . from what I can tell these shoe be sell like hotcake so I must not be the only one who really enjoy they . if you have plantar fascitis , these be pretty good support . +735 Sandal POS 5 I be very happy with new birk they be so comfortable that i have wear they every day since recieve they thank you so much +641 Sandal POS 5 I recently purchase some of the `` KEEN Newport h2 sandal '' , and I think they be the greatest ! I wear they almost every day . they truly be extremely comfortable and so versatile I can wear they to work , to the park and in wetland . I recommend they . +117 Sandal NEG 2 I order a pair of the contoured reef and uncontoured . the contoured sandal hurt like mad in the arch because they do not fit my foot right , while the non-contoured sandal feel great . frankly , the non-contoured do have shape to they -lrb- footb be not flat -rrb- so it be not like you have a non-supported sandal . I suggest you avoid the contoured and go for the regular reef ! +372 Sandal POS 5 I have try these type of sandal and I live they . I have be use it for the last 3 year and I be happy with they . I keep buy they all the time , specially when they be on sale . once you try they you will not be able to let they go . Trust I . I prefer the black color , but brownish be fine too . +770 Sandal POS 5 only buy they because my last pair be lose on vacation . great product that last for age . +271 Sandal NEG 2 very comfortable , foot love the massage from the nub . Quality have go south . the massage nub break off at a unreasonable rate . be prepare to buy replacement often once you get addict to these . +212 Sandal POS 5 so , they be not cute , they do not have heel , they be wide ... THEY FIT . I love my birk , I hope that they last forever . I have a pair of Taupe Birks and want a pair that would not show as much dirt . my old one need a slight rebuild after 3 year of wear in Tz , so I think about Sunday Birks . I love they . I would not say that they be party shoe , but who care . they work and they fit and they be so comfortable . they be expensive but if they never wear out , it be worth it . that be all I can say . beware however if you have a narrow foot , these be not for you . +567 Sandal NEG 1 I buy these shoe for a Grand Canyon River Trip . I like the comfortable footbed , the rubber cap over the toe , and the siped sole . I break they in on a 3 day San Juan River trip , and they be fine . they give good traction on wet rock and work well for a 2 mile hike . then I take they on a 16 day Grand Canyon trip . after a few day , the shoe stretch and I have to pull the shock cord tighter and tighter to get they to hold my foot . the loose end of the shock cord dangle so long I sometimes trip on they . the real kicker come on day 10 . the stitch that connect the strap around the ankle come out . there be no reason for it , the thread be not worn or abraded . it look like the stitch just pull through . I notice it on one side of one shoe a stitch it back together . then I look at the other shoe and it be fall apart in the same spot , but on both side of the ankle . the January 18 , 2011 review by Tom explain the problem perfectly . these shoe cost nearly $ 100 and last a total of about 15 day . the keen web site say these shoe be design for `` hike '' , but they be not dependable . I could have be 5 mile up a side canyon when the shoe fail . a companion have a $ 12 pair of Ozark trail river sandal from Walmart , and they be still in great shape when the Keens fall apart . keen and they absolutely refuse to provide a refund , they warranty only offer to replace defective shoe . but I do not trust they shoe anymore . DO not waste your money on THESE SHOES . +679 Sandal POS 5 these be great sandal and if you can get they for $ 25 like I do then its a purchase well make . +856 Sandal POS 5 I love these sandal . they be sturdy , you can go in the water with they , they have tremendous traction and I never slip with they . have be use these for year and the price on Amazon can not be beat . +797 Sandal POS 5 although it be not list as a wide size , it be . my husband that take a 6.5 4e fit a 7 comfortably . no pinching or discomfort and we have go through other brand of shoe that be " wide " size . this be great . +738 Sandal POS 5 this be my second pair of Clark 's sandal and I be very pleased that these sandal be equally as comfortable as my original pair . +884 Sandal POS 5 I agree with nightowl ! as I say in my Lotion Review ... this be the only scent I have ever buy from they . . and the only one I 'll ever plan on buying . I be send in a email that they do plan on re-release it again , but there be be trouble with the people that make it for they or something along those line ... hopefully they get that iron out soon . I be tired of pay 50 $ on ebay for a bottle ! +710 Sandal POS 5 I previously own a pair of Rainbow Sandals that be the single layer . I enjoy wear they they have a excellent build and form to my foot . however while climb Mt. Pinatuba in the Luzon Province of the Philippines one of we aeta guide break he sandal so I give he my rainbow as a replacement . after return from the trip my other sandal just would not do it so I log onto amazon and pick up this pair . they be great quality and even more comfortable than my previous pair . the price be a bit much but you really will not find a better classic pair of sandal . +473 Sandal POS 5 as always - a solid product that should last a long time . my last pair last about four year - and I live in Florida and wear they all the time . +314 Sandal POS 5 they be every thing that I expect . they look good and be comfortable and I expect they to last a very long time . +699 Sandal POS 5 these shoe be great . the fit be perfect . just what I need for a long time . if ask I will recommend this product . +898 Sandal POS 5 if you be look for the Old Fashion Birks , this be it . make from leather and like wear a cloud . it be nice to find a company that have not lose they way . if you want the most comfortable shoe ever make , buy this one . highly recommend . +211 Sandal NEG 2 these be some nice sandal . they look cool , can be wear with just about anything , and be very popular . they be also rather comfortable , once you get use to stand on hundred of little bump . however , I hardly ever wear they , because I have a very hard time keep they from slide sideways under my foot . I have try tightee they , loosen they , and alter the angle at which I velcro they , but nothing seem to help keep they from become crooked after just a few step , especially if I be walk at a brisk pace . I do not know how people wear these thing around without have a problem with they slide sideways . I would not recommend they , unless you can somehow keep they straight on you foot . if you can , they be great . +435 Sandal POS 5 these be by far , my favorite sandal . they do take a bit to break in , but once you do , they fit like a glove . +943 Sandal POS 4 these sandal be very comfortable . I wear they all the time around the house , instead of go barefoot . I have foot surgery several year ago and be tell not to go barefoot , so I either wear Birkenstock sandal , or these , which I call a birkenstock flipflop . +604 Sandal POS 5 they be perfect . I absolutely love they . my only complaint be that they be not at all the color show in the picture . Amazon show they look taupe , but mine have a almost green look . still , very very nice shoe . would recommend . +858 Sandal POS 5 these shoe be for my husband and they be a big winner . Perfect fit . very comfortable and nice look . ca not do better then that . they actually be better look than the picture and well make . +185 Sandal POS 5 I receive these shoe very quickly and be really pleased with this product ... only one word of warn when order any birkenstock make sure you order the correct width as most of the range come in a wide width and slim width . I have a very narrow foot and these arrive as a slim fit and fit perfectly . would purchase from this vendor again pain free and no hassle ... thank you +815 Sandal POS 5 these flop be a little more money BUT worth be , my other half go thru 2\/3 cheap pair a season or they break apart , he be on the 2nd summer and still go strong ! when these wear out he will be get a third pair . I get 2 last year because I never think they would hold up I be wrong ! he say they be comfy and still feel good on he foot !!! thanks Rainbow !!! you will be he flop of choice from now on !!! +195 Sandal NEG 1 they be my size in length , but so short in height at toe , that they smash my toe and they be very heavy for a sport shoe . I buy Sperrys and love they . +914 Sandal POS 5 great shoe . I be have a lot of trouble with my foot and the birkenstock really help . I wear THEM all the time . THIS be MY 3RD PAIR . +608 Sandal POS 4 the Birkenstock Arizona sandal fit my foot very well and they be cushen on the edge . I will comfortably refer they to other . +975 Sandal POS 5 I buy these shoe for a rafting trip in the Grand Canyon . I go from the river to hike rocky path , sandy path , down creek bed and back and not one blister , and they provide great support on the rock as well . I be go to buy another pair . love 'em ! +143 Sandal POS 5 since these be not the typical Birkenstock sandal , I be skeptical . surprisingly , they conform to my foot and be incredibly comfortable ! now you can have birk on in the garden without destroy they . water , mud and sand ... everything just rinse off ! they be strong and durable and well worth the price . +487 Sandal POS 4 this be a very good arch support sandal , but since I originally review it my physical therapist refer I to a much better brand : SOLE -lrb- eg. , SOLE Men 's Sport Flip Flop SOLE 's be also cheaper , it be far easier to order insole from if you need arch support in you shoe , and they be a much more sophisticated product all around -lrb- they utilize a self-molding material that you can either allow to conform to you foot over time , or you can pre-mold it in advance with a simple heating method -rrb- . the Moszkito 's be good and I still wear they , but in retrospect they be overprice , particularly compare to the SOLE 's . +685 Sandal POS 5 this be my second pair of hemp rainbow . I like my last pair so much I have to have another . they be really the best sandal . the hemp material be so much easier to keep clean than rubber or leather . it do not get slippery when wet like leather do . as with all rainbow sandal , they last for year -- very durable . I highly recommend these sandal . +165 Sandal POS 5 the keen h2 Newport be probably the most comfortable sandal I have ever worn . the fit be perfect -lrb- note : keen site say this model run about a half-size smaller than list . -rrb- since I want the sandal for beach and wet-wear , I get my regular size and the fit be snug but perfect for water wear . look forward to get they wet in the Caribbean soon . +291 Sandal POS 5 I have be wear the reef flip-flop for year . I wear flip-flop every day and get more than a full year out of one pair . they be very durable , fit great and the comfort level can not be match . the reef Smoothy Contour flip-flop require no break-in and feel much lighter than anything on my foot . I go with another brand -lrb- leather -rrb- , only want to get something that look a little dressier and be extremely disappoint with comfort & fit ... big mistake and a waste of money . only reef smoothy flip-flop for I from now on . +107 Sandal POS 5 these be great sandal . they be make of leather include the sole , which I have to have otherwise my foot sweat . +562 Sandal NEG 2 I work on the water & for the past decade , these thong have be my shoe of choice , but over the past couple of year I have notice quality of construction decline . whereas I could usually get 8 or so month of wear out of they before the toe leather snap , the last three pair I have own have all last only a matter of week before the side snap . because I travel a great deal , I usually buy 4 pair at a time once a year . after my recent discovery of the Colombia Tango Thong , which actually come in a size 15 , & be very well make & extremely comfortable , I can happily say that I doubt I 'll ever buy another pair of Sperrys again ! +610 Sandal POS 5 BEST $ 90.00 I ever invest in SHOES ! I purchase this pair of keen h2 's in this exact color back in April of 2009 , and I wear they every day -lrb- except Winter as it snow where I live -rrb- I wear they at the Oregon Coast when I go crabbing , the Casino in Nevada , while mountain biking and camping or hike back home here in Idaho , while do yard work , and shopping . I even wear they at work a couple time at the water department . they break in after a few month and now I be be challenge to depart with they 3 plus year later . I purchase some DR. Scholls charcoal liner so they do not stink and it work like a charm . I get more than my money worth as much as I wear these they be not even start to fall apart . my boxer pup chew on the lace on one of they and even so they still be not break . the sole be wear but still have traction . I be brutal when I play so these keen take a severe beating . I use to buy cheap sandal annually but once I discover Keens several year ago I not only wear the sandal but I have similar hiking shoe for those colder day . if you be like I and want something reliable , indestructable and worth the money , do yourselve a big favor and get a pair of these as it will be the last pair of sandal you ever need . I just purchase another pair and will start wear they next spring as my wife be nagging I to toss the original . I will never buy a cheap pair of sandal ever again . I give these 10 star if I could . I guess the only bad thing be while bare foot my foot now have this Tiger strip tan line from the sandal pattern lol . . +46 Sandal POS 5 love the product , but I should have order one size larger ! of course , it could be that I be so use to my older pair of zorry , thong , sandle , flip-flop , whatever you wanna call 'em , I just need to wear these new one in a bit ! nice and snug , so maybe it be just I ! nicely make and they look like they 'll last for a long time ! I love the thick sole ! +90 Sandal POS 5 the make of the flip-flop fit my foot perfectly . be warn though , although the color be nice , it do get dirty very easily . I would have buy a slightly darker color if I be to order this again +295 Sandal POS 4 very well , the product be ok , nice handling and shipping . the customer be very happy with the package . the black be a perfect choice , thanks +734 Sandal POS 5 I be always happy with a company when it get to I on time , I hate sit around wait for something to come in the mail . definitely be a plus and the sandal themselves be fine , just what I expect . +251 Sandal POS 5 very comfortable and durable especially on the inside of the shoe . these be replace a identical pair worn frequently for 6 year . +867 Sandal POS 5 I have use this sandal for hike , walk dry or in the rain , run , and bicycling , it handle everything ! never get a blister , and they feel so comfortable , even better than my Nike Airs , its amazing . I wear these the whole day my foot never experience any irritation , they be just great ! keen # 1 ! +302 Sandal POS 5 i have own this product for almost a week now . at first , the sandal strap -lrb- where the top of you foot make contact with the strap -rrb- be extremely tight , and i could barely fit my foot in they . even the thong area become sore even though i wear sandal almost every day . this be extremely uncomfortable and quite painful . i read that these sandal take a bit of time to break in until they feel comfortable . still , i be unsure , because it be fit so uncomfortably tight . after battle through two day of break they in , they finally fit comfortably , and i be glad i stick with they . everyone i know who own a pair of rainbow highly recommend it because of how long they last . i hope to wear these until they completely wear out . +118 Sandal POS 4 I have have two pair of these and would buy they again . the sole on these be very comfortable for walk on rugged and not so rugged surface . do not fit tightly which be fine with I . I have no wear point and have go for hour many day in a row in these sandal . +24 Sandal POS 5 these Birki 's be SOOOOO comfortable . after they arrive , I wear they immediately for the whole day . great support and no rubbing . a favorite , that I know I 'll wear a lot .

I slide they on and they feel great . the flip flop hug my foot and feel so comfortable . I now want to wear they everyday , and gonna try to . I be now a big fan of Rainbow and gonna buy many more pair . the GREATEST FLIP FLOPS around !!!!!!!! 1 +199 Sandal POS 5 I love Birkinstocks and have be wear they for many year . I have a narrow foot . I own four pair of Birki Haiti Sandals . I end up wear they almost everyday in the summer . they be comfortable and bomb proof . I do wear a size smaller in this particular sandal . +702 Sandal POS 5 the sandal be as describe and the purchase be the result of a specfic christmas request . +998 Sandal POS 4 great sandal but it take a long time and a couple blister to break in the fabric at the toe . do not try to walk in they for a long time after purchase . wear they around the house and in the shower first . +632 Sandal POS 5 I love birk ... this purchase be replace a pair of black suede Arizona sandle that I wear and do not take care of this winter ! I do own over 30 pair of Birks all different style and type ... however , this be the first pair of `` soft footbed '' birk I have purchase and WOW ! what comfort ! they appear to be identical to my old pair but that little layer of foam in the footb make a wonderful difference . I have be wear they to walk on my treadmill every evening instead of my `` sneaker '' . if I have a choice of traditional footbed or soft footbed I will always pick the soft footbed when I puchase any pair of Birks from now on ! +329 Sandal NEG 1 I have own these sandal for a couple of year now . they may be a excellent dry-hiker sandal but they be not good in mixed environment . I have find that the sole of these sandal become a almost frictionless surface on moist rock , stair , etc. . I take a bad fall in a tidal pool in Costa Rica two year ago and almost lose it on some wet stair next to a swimming pool in Rio this year . I know , it take I some time to learn a lesson . thus , if you intend to get these for water\/boating shoe , you need to look for something with a Vibram sole or some soft material , not these ! +242 Sandal POS 5 I have worn these sandal out ! would love to find another pair . they be super comfortable , look nice on my foot , and be neutral so they go with anything I wear . I like the silky suede much better than the hard leather style and look for it specifically . these have be the perfect shoe for I . +756 Sandal POS 4 I strongly recommend to try on in a store first to get proper size . while the shoe itself be fantastic , I be a size 13 and really wish I have order a 14 because two different pair I purchase run small . +156 Sandal POS 5 once you break they in they be super comfortable . really great sandal ! I have a size 12 foot , and that be what I order but I should have get a 12.5 or 13 . so that be the only thing I would do differently . so order a little larger then you normally get . +534 Sandal POS 5 he wear out he first pair -lrb- but it take a couple of year of hard wear on the boat and dock -rrb- . he even duct tape they together until I could get he replacement - would not wear different sandal . this time I buy a spare pair ! +965 Sandal POS 4 these be my favorite shoe . comfortable and they grip well . they seem to last a season be use regularly in the sun and water . for the price I would like to see they last a little longer but I like they enough to keep get they . I also notice -lrb- as everyone else do who be close to I -rrb- that they can smell pretty bad . when I be in and out of the water a lot it do not happy but wear they on land only for a few day they start to smell . +664 Sandal NEU 3 I love birkenstock . this pair be just as wonderful . I do order the size I usually get and this product be a little snug at first . but that be the nice thing with leather it stretch . I love they +335 Sandal POS 5 this be a nice look sandal . can be use for dress or casual\/dress . not a recreational shoe . comfortable . the side be somewhat more loosely weave than I expect , but the sandal still fit well . adjustable strap across the instep . value to the extreme degree . I have not worn this shoe long , so I can not tell how it will last , but the sole look substantial . +432 Sandal POS 5 my husband love these sandal . he like canoeing and these sandal protect he toe and have a good grip for river walking . +807 Sandal POS 4 buy a size 11 for my husband who usually wear a 10.5 shoe . they fit great . he only complaint be that they make the bottom of he foot sweat . otherwise , they have be great for hike and traverse Costa Rica and for just every day wear . now I need a pair ... +713 Sandal POS 5 Have have these shoe for several week now , great boat shoe , beefy enough you can put you foot down on that big snapper that be flip around in the back of the boat and feel that you foot will be protect . no scuff mark in the boat . Great for wade fishing , I walk out into the grass bed here in the intercoastal of the Florida panhandle and these shoe be work great . Easy on and off , dry pretty fast . I have a pair of speedo water shoe before these , they stink . the eyelet in the speedo have all rust and be pull through , spend the money and get a better pair with these keen . +264 Sandal POS 5 keen man 's Newport H2 Sandal this be my second pair but these be closed toe which make it much better when you walk on anything but a hard surface . they last for a long time . I like these better than the last pair which be open toe would and have leather insole which have a bad smell . these have synthetic insole which be much better . they have great color too . I 'll be get another pair soon +742 Sandal POS 5 rainbow may be expensive , but they be worth it . I have a son who wear sandal most of the year and a pair of rainbow will last all year long where the cheaper brand only last a few month as most . +350 Sandal POS 5 the double layer sandal definitely have more support than the single layer . better choice and definitely worth the extra few buck . the `` break in '' time be about a week . it be not too bad the `` break in '' time as some of the other reviewer have say but after it mold to you foot , they be very comfortable and will only get better with time and usage . the strap be tight in the beginning . the size do run a bit small . I wear a size 9 man medium and order a medium -lrb- 8.5 - 9.5 -rrb- and it fit the length of my foot barely , but if I order the next size up , in the long run , it will look a bit too big . like other say , if in doubt , order the next size up . the sandal be narrow and will be tight the first few time you wear they but will be worth it . Mine be so comfortable and I have be wear they every time I step out the door . I walk my dog in they , run errand in time , go everywhere with they . I buy color gray and sierra brown . if you like the sierra brown color , I would suggest order the dark brown color because with wear and tear and footprint , the dark brown will not be as noticeable when it get dirty as the sierra brown . +456 Sandal POS 5 I love these sandal , I wear they everyday that I do not have to wear work shoe . Easy to break in and super comfortable +924 Sandal POS 5 so very comfortable that I do not need to try they on and just order they ! that say alot because I have a narrow foot with a high arch and can really only wear run shoe . its a pain find any footwear . I get all the support I need over the warm month . I usually go through a pair a season I wear they so much . that be say , these be perfect ! +792 Sandal NEG 2 I love my keen sandal , mostly due to nice fit , they be a little sweatty though . so much that I buy the shoe -lrb- very good -rrb- , buy the work boot -lrb- steel toe also very good -rrb- , buy the sock -lrb- not so good -rrb- . I do not honestly wear the h2 sandal that much , maybe have they about a year -lrb- buy they last late summer\/fall -rrb- , but live in the northeast so its mostly a summer shoe , 4 -5 month a year or so . so we go to Grand Tetons , these be my `` off hike day '' shoe for the trip . we do a 6 mile flat hike and the back rip out of one of they . by the way the sock have hole in the side -lrb- not heal or toe like you might expect -rrb- . use to be all they product seem to have 5 star rating ... I think the expansion to all kind of shoe may be cause some kind of performance issue . so not much use , the tread on the bottom frankly look brand new but the heel rip . I dunno if I will get another keen shoe , I be see some of they newer stuff have some bad rating . still I would take they over almost anything Teva , but not at full price . I guess I would take another shot for $ 50 or $ 60 ... but for $ 100 they need to last more than a season . +931 Sandal NEG 1 as another reviewer report , I have a older pair of these sandal that work well for year , until the strap break off . on the newer version , the nub start break off immediately , quickly lead to large nubless patch under the forefoot and toe . they do provide great relief of muscle stress and soreness while they last . at first , the nub become painful after about 20 minute of wear - but they become more comfortable as the foot get use to they . +468 Sandal POS 5 these be unlike other rainbow that be all leather ; these be soft foam -lrb- like the more common reef sandal -rrb- they be very both classy and comfortable . +971 Sandal POS 5 purchase these for my husband who have wear he other pair for several year . they fit well and be good lookin ' too . . +495 Sandal POS 5 I would highly recommend these sandal to anybody . they take about a week on solid wear for they to break in and conform to you foot , but once they do , they be great . and the stitching be guarantee for life ! +463 Sandal POS 4 4 star for this product . after read other review prior to my purchase , I have to agree this shoe meet my expectation to date . quality and comfort be key to hike through stream and rough terrain . although I have have only a short time , I will see how it hold up over the next year . it be well worth the extra $ $ and not have lesser quality shoe that be go to fall apart on the trail . +621 Sandal POS 5 awesome sandal . they be a little stiff at first but break in after only a day or two of wear . Seam like they will last a long time though . +110 Sandal POS 5 great sandal ! I have have mine for 4 year , and they be comfortable , durable and reasonably price . I have put mine through quite a bit of wear . Beach camping , camp shoe for backpacking , every day wear as a student , etc. . they handle all of it . as far as the smell go , in my experience the leather version smell worse than the hemp , but like any footwear where sock be not worn , there can be some odor . +154 Sandal POS 5 I be re-order these . I buy another pair in Jan 2010 and have wear they every day since . the durability of these be incredible . I have walk thousand of mile in these and the old pair be still not wear out . these be comfortable and you can do just about anything in they . they be not good for run , hike rough trail or black tie dinner but incredible for everything else . the be the best all-purpose shoe around . buy with confidence ! +93 Sandal POS 5 these sandle be for my daughter . she love they . last year she have the regular one . she love the soft bed on she new one . we definitely recommend they . +357 Sandal POS 5 very nicely make shoe . they be exactly what I expect . I especially like that the back strap can be remove to make they slip on . my father would trip with he old shoe , but now he have return to be a confident walker ! a great product . +50 Sandal POS 4 I come from use surfer thong sandal . when these arrive they do not smell . the left one fit very snug and require a little extra walk to be break in . I now use they everyday very comfortable +929 Sandal POS 5 I hate wear shoe . I buy these to add to my collection of flip flop and sandal . they appear to be very well make and durable . the color and design work well for I and they be very comfortable to wear . +547 Sandal POS 4 I just return from raft in Costa Rica and the h2 work really well . they seem to fit big as I generally wear a size 13 Nike or New Balance -lrb- sometimes wide width -rrb- and my foot fit a little loosely into the size 12 . the sandal give great traction and provide solid protection around the toe . as any sport sandal , they do not give much stability for hike , but this sandal be probably one of the best for rafting , walk , sailing , etc. . +448 Sandal POS 4 I would rate these 5 star . but , because if they one downside Ill leave it at 4 . these CAN be the most comfortable longest last flip flop you own . but there be a break in period . it usually last about 1 to 2 week . this usually scare most people and i feel that it be where most of the negative review come from . during this time expect the nylon webbing between you toe to be horribly uncomfortable and if you have larger\/wider foot the strap to be too tight around you foot . but with time they will stretch and the footbed will form to you foot like no other sandal . this pair be my second pair . the first pair that i have last I over 6 year before i lose they . and this most recent pair be just begin to be comfortable . soooo if you can put up with a week or 2 of pain , you can have some comfortable sandal to last year . but if not , there be many nice sandal -lrb- my other favorite be sanuk -rrb- that be comfortable right out of the box at a comparable price point . buttt , they just wont last as long . for some , they may not be worth the wait , and i understand . but all my friend who have try they and stick it out have love they and i really think you would too . +1 Sandal POS 5 I have be wear these sandal for at least 30 year - I be so happy when they come out with a soft footbed ! +35 Sandal POS 5 I buy these to kick around the beach and mow grass , but now I wear they everywhere . they maintain grip when wet and be comfortable enough to wear all day . I have always be a rainbow fan and this be another great product . I buy the black . no smell issue or color rub off . Arch support be adequate and I have a med\/hi arch . I wear size 13 and these be size right on . break in period be about 3 hour of wear with no discomfort . they clean up easy too . recommend . +424 Sandal POS 5 these birkenstock be great . I love the silky suede . the fit may be a little tighter than the traditional leather birk but that will even-out with wear -lrb- or a extra hole in the strap -rrb- . the seller have fast shipping and the product be as describe . +100 Sandal POS 5 these be the second pair of these flip flop I have buy and that be because they be the best . really well make , comfortable and classy ! +450 Sandal POS 5 these be my husband favorite sandal ever ! he wear they all summer long and I be currently buy he he fourth pair because he wear they so hard and like to have one pair at home , one at the lake , etc. . +571 Sandal POS 5 these come , as advertise , and in less time than be predict . great seller , great product ! would work with they again in the future . +168 Sandal POS 5 i love these sandal and the price on amazon be amazing . i have own 5 pair of rainbow and this be my first pair of double stack . they be even better than the regular rainbow now i have 3 pair . if you wear sandal on a daily basis as i do you will appreciate the extra cushion of the double stack . warning : the sandal have a break in which they be kinda of uncomfertable and very snug , this insure a great fit after the break in . +717 Sandal POS 5 this be absolutely the best casual shoe I ever buy . the genuine light brown leather with saddle-type stitching be extremely stylish and the comfort be second to none . timberland hit a home run with this shoe -lrb- I only wish they make the same exact style in black -rrb- . we local Macy 's Department store have one pair leave and price at $ 100.00 , so this purchase at $ 79.30 be right from the begginning ! +875 Sandal POS 5 great product and service . actually have to re-order new one because I do not like the color , and the turnaround be great ! +396 Sandal POS 5 I have be a loyal birkenstock owner for year . as a kid grow up in Portland , Ore. , Birkenstocks be the only way to go ! this be my third pair of Arizona soft-footbed sandal ... it be not so much that they wear out as that , live in warm , humid Florida , I find they get funky and grimy over time , and need to be resurface or retire . for the soft-footbed pair , resurfacing be almost as expensive as a new pair , so I just buy new . if you have never own a pair of Birkenstocks : they feel great as soon as you put they on and the cork begin to conform to you foot within a matter of day . within a week or two , you will not want to wear anything else . the toe bar help keep you toe in position , and the cup for you arch be comfortable even for someone almost completely flat-footed like I . they 'll slip around on you foot a hair while you be walk , but if you find that it be more than a little bit , you may want to get a narrower pair . if you be wonder about the soft footbed vs. the regular footbed : I find that the soft-footbed be , obviously , more comfortable . they be better suit to wear barefoot , where the classic footbed may be for oregonian and german who like to wear they with sock . : - -rrb- on the other hand , the soft footbed get funky and need to be clean a lot sooner . my only complaint about the Arizonas be that the strap over my right foot be a little too loose , and can not be make any tighter . I take they to the cobbler and have he punch a new , higher hole in the leather . these be wonderful sandal . I would not buy anything else . +550 Sandal POS 5 this shoe be good support and very orthopedically correct . I buy a new pair every year . I wear these sandal year around . +893 Sandal POS 4 love they super comfortable . if you like I you not super confinable with have you toe expose . I be very skeptical when I 1st consider purchase sandal . I be more of a sneaker head myself . I practical live in a pair of air force one . they seam like a good compromise between the two . after the 1st time wean they my position be change . they work real well with a pair of jeans or shorts . would have give in 5 star but the color be a little off . its little darker then in picture , but the comfort level make up for it . +927 Sandal POS 5 we family exclusively wear Rainbows . they last forever and be very comfortable . if you have never worn Rainbows before , they be pretty uncomfortable for the first week , but if you wear they a lot and get they wet , they will break in quickly and then become mold to you foot . Great for summer . +553 Sandal POS 4 so , after year of avoid buy these sandal like all of the other preppy jerk at my small liberal art college , I finally give in after graduation . this add yet another strike to my eventual demise into poserdom . before this , I swear against expensive sunglass , bright-colored polo shirt , and even carry a cell phone . I must say that this all begin with umbro and sweatpant . when I be 7-12 year old , I only wear umbro and sweatpant , despite mock cry from my peer . at some point in the 7th-8th grade -lrb- shockingly around the time I discover a appreciation of the female body -rrb- , I give in and start wear Levi 's and Boss jeans to school . Pretty much the spit image of cool . I even cut down my wearage of NBA jersey . I know , it be hard to imagine a time when the lady be not go crazy for Jerry Stackhouse Pistons jerz . give up on sweatpant kill I a little inside , and I have be die a slow death one cut at a time as I adopt another trend . so , in summation , thanks a lot all you woman out there for make I wear comfortable leather sandal , you self-righteous man-killer . anyway , in more product-review news , these thing be absolutely awful to break in . literally , it take month , and I do know the definition of `` literally '' . my girlfriend just make I throw away my 4-year old pair and buy a replacement , and my foot now look like size 13 swiss cheese . thanks again . +973 Sandal POS 5 these sandal by timberland be by far the most comfortable I have ever own . no break-in period at all . fast shipping also , order these on Friday evening and they be deliver on Monday . +138 Sandal POS 5 I love birkenstock , and have always go for the leather , but I think I would give the Birkibuc a try . love it ! it still conform to my foot like leather do , but it do not stretch as much as leather so I do not have to cut new hole . +409 Sandal POS 4 reef 's to I the comfort of a shoe but casualness of a sandal . they marry very well . if you be on the fence try they . you 'll love it . +471 Sandal POS 5 I resist for a while -lrb- year -rrb- while my wife rave about she keen sandal . I like teva -lrb- Terra Fi 2 -rrb- and have own many pair over the past 10 year . love they for warm weather hiking , around the water , and general warm\/wet condition . but , I finally give these keen a try after wear out the sole of my Tevas . the reviewer be right on . they feel like sneaker and I wear they all day with pleasure . these be a great buy . I be go to buy another pair of Teva Terra Fi 2 also but I do love these keen . pro : - rugged build - Great traction -lrb- I think the Tevas be a little better but I hardly notice the difference - that be the key detail -rrb- - I buy the mostly nylon -lrb- not leather -rrb- version -lrb- brown\/bison -rrb- and they do dry quickly . my wife have the leather version and they be significantly slower to dry - overnight at least . - extremely comfortable to wear all day - I never have to adjust these - they stay on my foot in all condition with no worry - look good with everything - there be a nice sense of comfort with that toe protector on the front - wide toe bed - very nice con if I have to name some -lrb- certainly will not deter I from buy these again -rrb- : - in the sun , the toe bed\/cap do get hot on you toe if you hang out in direct sun for a while - I agree with the other review -lrb- not necessarily on Amazon -rrb- that you 'll read regard the `` funk '' . yes , these do get funky\/smelly very quickly - much more quickly than my Tevas ever do . but , hey , they be outdoor sandal . throw they into the wash machine or go swim with they every 3-4 day and you be set . the `` funk '' reputation worry I a little so I hold off buy these but I can live with it . it be not as bad as I expect . and , these be super comfortable ! add after own for six month : I think the Teva Terra Fi 2 probably have a slight edge when it come to rafting\/boating because they dry in record time and you can really tighten they so they do not shift on you foot . so , I would give they a slightly higher score in term of functionality for the very active or career outdoors folk . also , I do get annoy at the gravel that get stick in the toe bed of these - I can not shake it loose so I have to take they off and turn they upside down . this be not a issue with the Teva open toe design and I kind of miss those day . last pet peeve : despite what my wife say , -lrb- she have same kind of keen -rrb- the tread just be not as good as the Teva 's . conclusion , I have to buy both for the forseeable future - they be both solid product and I will not give up either . latest and last Update : the sole give out in less than a year - literally pieces\/chunks fall off . I be back to Tevas and happier with the much more reliable tread . the Tevas dry much much faster also . I think the Keens be really for wear when you want to pretend you be do something active outdoors - they be fine for just walk . +689 Sandal POS 5 this lovely , high quality Sandalwood soap by Caswell-Massey be make of natural , vegetable base product . the soap be triple-milled which mean that the soap be very hard and will last a long time . the lather be mild and creamy , leave the skin lightly scented with this special sandalwood blend . this be the larger size which be refer to as the bath soap . it be darker and have a wood grain appearance . the bath bar be larger and weigh 5.8 oz . they also carry a smaller size hand soap . it be light tan and come in the 3.25 oz -lrb- 92 g -rrb- size . I have use the hand soap as bath soap and can not tell the difference -- the scent and soap quality be the same . Caswell-Massey 's line of sandalwood product have be a favorite of mine for many year . the scent be so wonderful I use bar of this soap in my clothing drawer to infuse my clothing . while this blend may use other ingredient to create the blend the primary scent be the characteristic sweet woodsy fragrance of sandalwood . Sandalwood be the name for a variety of tree -lrb- 19 -rrb- in the genus santalum . true sandalwood come from Hawaii , Australia and India . the essential oil be very expensive and the quality vary accord to the age of the tree and the species . it be naturally antibacterial which can assist in keep skin clear of blemish . the sweet woodsy aroma be calming and be use in ayurvedic medicine to treat anxiety . Caswell-Massey be America 's oldest apothecary establish in 1752 . they be well know for provide luxury personal care product . George Washington and John Adams figure among they early clientele . +982 Sandal POS 5 this sandle be exactly what he want . we could not be happier about this product or the price . thanks Amazon !!! +896 Sandal POS 4 this `` water sandal '' be a decent purchase . this sandal be a bit more flimsy than expect but be quality in all other area and will serve its intended purpose quite nicely . +63 Sandal NEG 1 give this as a gift think it would be a sturdy and well make alternative to the cheapo flip-flop . manage to tear up my boyfriend foot - try to break they in all summer to no avail . they be just really not flexible and whatever they be make of rub on skin the wrong way . a waste of money . +510 Sandal NEG 1 these begin to make my foot smell in the first week and have now begin to come unstitched . do not have this problem with the first pair I have for five or more year . whatever corner they be cut now make they a rip off . +615 Sandal POS 5 I wear these year around at home and love they . they be well design to support the arch of you foot . +996 Sandal NEU 3 I just receive these roday and I order they a whole size larger than my fit , they run very small because they be still too snug . I have have they on for about seven hour and besides be tight the inner sole be rough on my foot , not a very comfortable sandal . as mention in other review they be hard to get on and off . they look very nice so I be hope they will stretch out so I can keep they and I may have to wear sock . Amazon be a great place to shop and I buy most everything here , great customer service and no problem return stuff . +531 Sandal POS 5 I have have these for over a year now and they be more comfortable now than ever before . they provide stable , protective , and comfortable support for my foot and arch . I be 6 ' -5 '' and 220 and they support my frame well . my wife have have the same pair of rainbow for over 5 year now and she still wear they a lot and agree that they feel better each time you wear they . +277 Sandal POS 5 this purchase be a gift for my husband . he and I have own keen since the day they come on the market ! WE LOVE THEM . this pair be he 3rd pair and he could not be more happy with they . they be the perfect shoe for everything from river hiking , to dry land hiking , to a day in the city , to a day at the park ! they be comfortable and oh so reliable . keen Newport h2 's be a must for just about everyone ! -lrb- can you tell I really dig these shoe , hehee -rrb- +536 Sandal POS 5 by far the most comfortable sandal I have ever own . I first see these on some ultralight backpacker I meet , they swear by they and I have to try they . now that summer be over , and it be late fall , I find myself still wear these even now that it be cooler because they feel good and I be use to they . they really be tough to give up . any reservation I have that they look funky go away when I wear they a couple of day and get hook on the feel and how they protect my toe . SIZING issue : if they do not feel right when you put they on , you may have the wrong size . most people that buy keen find that they need to buy a half size larger than they do with other shoe , so try that . comfort : the sandal have a wide toebox so that you toe be not cramp together . the protective toe guard do the job , I never stub a toe or catch a toe on anything with these , plus I can hide my ugly toe . it also have a little rise on the rear heel that cup you heel , but also help protect you against those people that step on the back of you foot in line . it feel very secure once it be on and do not slip . there be no strap to fool with or velcro to adjust , it have a inner lining on all the strap that look like the neoprene on a scuba suit , it stretch to fit and be comfortable against my skin . it have a no-lace closure and you adjust it once , from then on it slip on easy . the footbed cradle my foot really well . it have a little ridge on the inner sole that run behind the toe and in between you big toe and other toe . the first time you feel it , it seem like a defect . but that ridge seem to shape to my foot , give I my own custom fit . I hate to gush about this , but the shape of this shoe allow my bad foot to stand longer and walk longer . I actually enjoy run in they , and for a sandal that be a definite first with I , as they usually slip and flop all over on my foot . you can even wear it into the water like a Teva . if it get wet , for some reason you do not feel it due to the material that wick the water away . grip : it have a outer sole that be very grippy , it give good traction on sand , boulder , mud , you name it . it have not be slippery on wet surface , include a boat . the sole do not leave any mark on my floor , and do not hold dirt in the groove to track indoors . odor : it have a anti-microbial treatment so I do not get odor issue nearly as much as with Crocs and other sandal . durability : it have hold up to daily wear and repeat wetting . when they get dirty , I throw they in the sink , under the hose , in the shower or even in the washer . I wear these almost daily for 4 month straight with no evidence of wear . this include standing in line all day on vacation at theme park and scramble at the beach . like other sandal , when they be new they leave mark on my sock from the dye but I almost never wear a sock with they anyway . summary : these come in a few color and in Mens and Womens style . I have try 2 pair of tennis shoe from this company , and the footbed be similar , although the one with a suede type finish -lrb- the Targhee -rrb- look like crap in one month . it be still a great hiker , but I can not wear it anywhere else but the great outdoors . the other pair be for urban use , it be call the Austin , and it be have a really nice finish . my other favorite sandal be Rieker Anti-Stress Jens 09176 , and the Dunham Moose Fisherman -lrb- design by New Balance -rrb- . I use to wear Teva 's , and they make good sandal as well . UPDATE March 2010 : I do not know if they still make these to the same quality as the model I review here in 2005 , but it be now 2010 and my original pair of Newport h2 sandal be still in use so I can not tell . the only issue be they look a little fade now in the strap and one of the stretchy tie string lay a little crooked . but they still feel great and my sole have hold up . I still feel they be a great deal for the price , about $ 100 back in 2005 . +752 Sandal NEU 3 the front toe box seem extra wide compare to my other pair of Birkenstock 's . size down may have remedy this . Odd that size 40 have always fit except when it come to this style . though the soft footbed seem comfy , I kinda like break in my brkenstock . send they back +246 Sandal POS 4 I buy these after realize my worn out Merrel sandal be no longer build ... I be not keen fan , and I still think they look a little funny . but , they fit well , seem well make , and they feel great . I have wear they to work for a week , and walk 5 mile around NYC and I be still happy . I think my proper size be a 9.5 , and I hear these run big , so I order a 10 , and that seem right . I kind of have to work to get they on , and I do not slide around in they . the elastic lace seem to do little . I imagine they will stretch out a little -lrb- not too much I hope -rrb- and the lace will be useful . +688 Sandal POS 5 first time rainbow user , but long time sandal wearer . I hear for such a long time how these be the best ever . I be not a believer that they be better than the rest , but I think a trial be need to see if they live up to they reputation . this sandal exceed all rumor about the shoe . it be double layered so it will be durable , and now with a half of summer of use it look as if it have just a few day . the break-in process take only a few time of use and my happiness level sky rocket . I think its safe to say that I will only be see wear rainbow for year to come ! +506 Sandal POS 5 I have be wear Birks since they first import they back in the 1970 's and be pleased that they be still a excellent sandal . +398 Sandal POS 4 they seem to run small . normally wear a 11 and they do not fit . receive in a timely manor . very happy with the service . +161 Sandal POS 5 buy a pair at local shoe store , full price , but wonderful service , i.e. , help in get exact right size and style . this be my second pair buy at Amazon at a price which better suit my pocketbook . know my size really help . I do not usually find it very satisfy to buy shoe on-line because of the size issue . keep those Birkis come Amazon ! you service be great with free 2 day shipping for prefer customer like I ! I recommend Birkis for anyone with low arch , flat foot , who need a good supportive platform . they be wonderful as footwear around the house when soft but unsupportive slipper will not do ! wear they with wool sock when it be cold . +947 Sandal POS 5 my new sandal get here in great shape and I expect to be wear they most every day in the warm-weather season . I do not have leave the house and drive to the mall . I will be shop for other item from Amazon . +413 Sandal POS 5 to be honest I nearly throw they away after a few day . I be inform that to begin with they might hurt a bit , especially I have not worn this type of sandal for many year , and sure enough after wear then for 2 day I have blister on both foot - very painful . but after a week rest they go back on be be now great - really comfortable . and a really well make product . +457 Sandal NEG 1 adissage be total crap ! i have be a exclusive adida customer for many year and be completely piss ! the footbed of these sandal come apart with minimal , around the house wear in under 3 month , besides they be not that comfortable . adida have no desire whatsoever to replace they or acknowledge the crap quality . i be so piss that i will never buy adida product again . -lrb- ... -rrb- , ok , but i have spend thousand on adida product over the year and deserve better treatment over a crap , cheap product . pass on these and buy some birkenstock ! +963 Sandal POS 5 great product at a great price , these be for my son so he do not have to borrow mine ! my son love the way they fit and the great workmanship ! +80 Sandal POS 5 I have this one before and worn up . need a new and same one because it be perfect for my foot - comfortable , +247 Sandal POS 5 get a great deal on the shoe . have want a pair for about a year but could not make myself pay the $ 100.00 retail price . find they for 40 % off help I to finally purchase a pair . boy be I ever happy ! I have worn these now for about three week almost every day -lrb- I take 2 day off for some big appointment at work -rrb- . Great build . Super comfort . ventilation ! whatever they do to control odor really work . so far the have be worn in the office , to -lrb- and in -rrb- the lake , wade in the creek , in a rain storm -lrb- finally -rrb- and around the house . I really love these shoe ! I agree with the other ' comment about order a 1\/2 size larger that you normal size . I follow they advise and it be jussssssssssssssst right . I be now a huge keen fan . +326 Sandal POS 5 I be discourage when I first try they on because they be very tight but once I wear they for a few day , they loosen up and become much more comfortable . I buy the white sandal , which look great for a couple day , but get dirty very quickly . I would buy these sandal again . +338 Sandal POS 4 very comfortable , look really good , a little bit pricey for a sandal . but will definitely recommend to those who want a nice , trendy look sandal ! I 'll most likely give it 5 star , but I be not sure yet if it be durable enough for my daily use . thanks Sanuk ! +43 Sandal POS 5 the sandal be everything we expect and more ! my sister have own a pair of Rainbow Sandals for year and they be still hold up like they be brand new . they be comfortable -lrb- like walk on a cloud -rrb- , make of excellent quality , and I plan to only buy Rainbow Sandals from now on ! +728 Sandal POS 5 I purchase these for my husband . these be the only type of sandal he will wear . he be usually a 8.5 but we have to send those back and order a 9 . he love to wear they on vacation and at the beach . the only down side be they give he a very funny tan line . I highly recommend they if you husband do not like to wear flip flop but would like to try a sandal . +556 Sandal NEG 1 I find out a month a foot problem with the arch of MY FEET . the BIRKIS REALLY help . I really like this style , BUT AFTER WEARING THEM for one week they start fall apart . ITS LIKE THEY have a coating of material that be PEELING OFF . THATS why IM SENDING THEM back . +4 Sandal POS 5 these be by far the best quality sandal - period . why ? 1 . Premium material and construction . these be make to last forever 2 . ergonomic . they mold to you foot to give you custom , correct support for you foot . so comfy 3 . Terrific look 4 . guarantee against breakage 5 . make in USA , not some cheap , inferior import manufacturer seriously , I be very discerning of quality and only buy the best . you will be very pleased with Rainbow sandal . +921 Sandal POS 4 these sandal be excellent . they be comfortable and easy to take on and off without feeling that they be about to slide off of you foot . I have hear good thing about keen sandal and these have prove they to be true . I would highly recommend they +444 Sandal POS 4 I buy a pair of Keens for my trip to Glacier Nat'l Park . they be perfect for raft because they have the toe-bumper in the front , so it be painless to wedge you foot in the raft . I also hike for a few hour per day in the shoe , which be also enjoyable , but after a while my arch hurt . they do not have high arch support at all , so I could not wear they for too long . my foot get sweaty in the shoe , but they never feel too hot , and with a quick dip in some water , they be clean again -lrb- they also dry in a matter of hour -rrb- ! they seem to run a bit small , so be sure to try on a few different size . the width be great , and the color be fun . sometimes sand or pebble might get into the shoe and it can take a minute to remove -lrb- you will probably have to take the shoe off -rrb- , but it be really not a big deal . overall , I would recommend Keens for they durability and versatility . +981 Sandal POS 5 purchase these sandal for husband who have plantar fascitis and can not wear other style sandal and can not walk barefoot . he be able to wear these `` house sandal '' without orthotic . great product and will definitely purchase again . +354 Sandal POS 5 I purchase this sandal a half size smaller than my normal size . I do this because I own this model of sandal in the past and the smaller size fit be correct . it seem the fitting have change in this model from 3 or 4 year ago . I send back the purchase and receive a sandal with my normal size . I have not wear they much but they seem great . +899 Sandal NEU 3 these seem like nice sandal , and I think they would be comfortable if they fit . I order my normal shoe size , but they be much too small to wear . I recommend order a bigger size . +490 Sandal NEG 2 I really like these when my daughter give they to I for Christmas ... great fit and comfortable . I work in the Bahamas so they get wear a few hour every day after work . the toe strap up front snap in 6 month and even though I wear they alot , I usually get a year to year and a half out of other brand . they be probably fine if you do not use they much , but I be go to replace they with something of higher quality . +179 Sandal POS 5 a co-worker recommend these sandal and , I be glad I purchase they . they be among the most well-built , comfortable flip-flop I have ever worn -lrb- the toe throng will not come loose from the sandal -rrb- , Worth every bit of the price . if you choose to decide to buy these sandal be aware that you must give they time to fit properly . +795 Sandal POS 4 I really like the shoe . they be very well make and will last a long time . the color be bright -lrb- I love the color - no problem find my shoe in the pile on the porch -rrb- and show no sign of fading . they do however hold sand in the toe when at the ocean ; which add to the problem that the shoe be very heavy . perhaps this be the price we have to pay for a shoe that will last a long time . I wonder if keen would consider make a shoe with a hole in the toe for ocean wear ? be there a filler they could put inside the sole that would be lighter ? +961 Sandal POS 5 my hubby love this pair of sandal . he have size 8.5 and I order size 41 . it fit he just right . and it be worth the money compare to hear he complaint everyday about the uncomfy of the cheap pair . = d +839 Sandal POS 5 I wear a woman size 8 but find the 39 regular to be a bit long and too wide . I return it and buy the 38 narrow which be perfect . it really be not that narrow ... more like a medium width and the strap be adjustable anyway . the color be perfect with brown , blues , black and they be very comfortable after the usual adustment period . +663 Sandal POS 5 there be allot of different vendor for birkenstock on Amazon and , in my opinion , ya get to be careful that you be get real leather instead of the Birkobuc fake leather . I have leather birk that be over ten year old and still go strong . these be real , black leather birk and I pay $ 77.00 for they . fast free shipping and a trouble free transaction . highly recommend Amazon and Birkenstock . +675 Sandal POS 5 my husband request these as a Christmas gift . this be he third pair and feel there be no need to ever buy a different pair of sandal . they super comfy , versatile , good look and well make . +167 Sandal POS 4 I purchase the black olive\/deep lichen color , and they look really good . they be very comfortable , although a little large for the size I be use to . I get they because I know I would be do a lot of trek through wet\/muddy part of Belize , and I need something waterproof that could be somewhat easily wash . these fit the bill ! the only unfortunate thing about these be that the stitching have start to come undo on the back strap , and I think it be way too soon for that . I have use they quite a bit , but not that hard . and I can not really return they easily , be abroad and all . I think they 'll still last for a while , and when they do fall apart I will most likely buy the exact same pair . +308 Sandal POS 5 buy this as a cooler alternative to hike shoe and\/or run shoe for a trip to hot and humid China . I wear this every day , include hike up the Great Wall ... call this a sandal do not do it justice ! +465 Sandal NEG 1 here 's the thing ... everyone say these sandal need a `` break-in '' period -- a -rrb- that be ridiculous , and b -rrb- they absolutely DO NOT fit a wide foot -lrb- e , EEE , or EEEEE -rrb- . these be soft leather , nice look and for a thin foot probably very comfortable . I wear a 7.5 eee . I order one size larger -lrb- 8.5 - 9.5 medium -rrb- and they absolutely DO NOT fit -- while you can get you foot into the strap , they cut into the skin between the toe , and there be absolutely no way to `` break in '' the sandle ... I wear they for about a hour and find that a -rrb- not only do they not loosen up in any way they also dig into the top of my foot and create bloody welt . these 50.00 sandal become unreturnable because they have be worn , and they have dirt on they , and they have blood on the strap . $ 50.00 worth of garbage within one hour . DO NOT believe all these folk on here who say `` just break they in '' ... they do not fit a wide foot , period . save you money . +272 Sandal POS 4 I receive these for part of a costume . the geta be very good quality , but note that they be not the traditional style : these have more the profile of a pair of high-heel than the more traditional double-t shape such as worn by character like Urahara Kisuke in Bleach . more likely , these could be worn in a costume in place of flat , black sandal . the strap feel a bit tight around the toe and strangely weak , though they feel like they will last through a weekend-long convention with no problem . that say , I receive these before they be re-list with the `` colorful strap , '' so you will not get the same sort of strap . the wood be surprisingly light but durable . I have accidentally clank the two together with no damage to either . these do have light sole , as well , so you geta will not be make direct contact with the floor . the pair I receive be almost precisely a men ' size 7 shoe . thankfully , my foot happen to be just smaller than that . they may take a little get use to , as I still can not wear they for more than a few hour at a time . these be definitely worth a shot if you have a way of make it work into either you wardrobe or you costume . +121 Sandal POS 5 pro : - solid , stable sandal with great foot support . - as always with keen shoe , the wide toe area make it very comfortable . - opening be wider than the classic Newport which make it airier for the summer . - Top be make of nylon in h2 vs leather in the classic . this make it quicker dry and lighter overall . - climb a jaggy volcanic hill in Saudi Arabia and Mukenya in Kenya , and the traction be amazing on these . con : - sand will mound up in the toe area since there be no hole for it to escape . - if you be hike trail with lot of loose debris they will get in the shoe and it be a bit of a nuisance to try and get they out without take it off . recommend you try the classic Newport and the h2 before you purchase . I find the classic 's footbed completely incompatible with my foot , but the h2 be perfect . the reverse may be true for you . +181 Sandal POS 4 I have just come from a appointment regard back pain and be painfully wear my work pump when I have a call from the courier to say my Birks have arrive . I pick they up and wear they right away-thank God !!!! comfortable !!!!!!!!!! I wear they in the office lol use the excuse that I have back problem - which be true . I be grumpy all day until I put these sandal on . as for the size , they be wide shoe and I have a reg to wide foot . I may go to the shoe store to get some hole put in so I can fasten they tighter . be a size 11.5 and order a size 43 - just right . +533 Sandal POS 4 these sandale be fantastic ! pro : comfortable after break in , look good . con : long break in time -lrb- week -rrb- strap rub and can cause callouse +631 Sandal POS 5 I be over 62 year of age and have always make it a rule to NEVER wear sandal . I always think they look silly wand I do not like the feel of wear shoe without sock . but we be get ready to take another cruise and I be look for a all purpose `` water shoe '' or something that I could get wet and sandy and still be able to walk comfortably while on shore excursion or shopping . I find these and read the review -lrb- more positive than negative -rrb- and decide to take a chance on they . I have always have good experience buy from Amazon partner and this be no exception . the quality , of the sandal , be first class as well as the comfort wet or dry . it take some time to get use to wear they -lrb- about 5 minute -rrb- . I end up wear they almost everywhere both onboard the ship and off the ship . I can not wait for summer so that I can start wear they again . I highly recommend they . Make sure you follow the size recommendation before you order . Order a half size larger than you would normally wear . if I ever wear they out , I will certainly buy another pair . +145 Sandal POS 5 these flip flop be great . they look good , feel great and hold up well . I finally buy something online that be as good as it look . +280 Sandal POS 5 these sandal be amazing ! they be waterproof , comfortable , slip resistant , rugged and more ! I first buy a pair of these in 2007 . they last I until 2012 and the only reason I decide to buy another pair be because I step in gum on the ground on a 100 degree day . these sandal be well worth the price and be indeed cheaper in price than other sandal of this quality . I highly recommend these ! +696 Sandal POS 5 big fan of the flop . give they a little wear and they form to you foot perfectly . very glad about this purchase . +250 Sandal POS 4 i own two pair , the ` h2 ' version and the ` original ' . i prefer the original , if i purchase a third pair it will be the original . +455 Sandal POS 5 this be my second pair of Birkenstock Sandals and the only kind of sandal I can comfortably wear . I love they . +423 Sandal NEG 2 I recently discover Sanuks . I be try to locate the suv model but find only US size 7 a 8 . why not size for regular adult man . I wear a 10 but no joy in find they . +442 Sandal POS 5 I order the Sprerry , Santa Cruz for my husband because its the only flip flop he like . they be durable and look nice with any causal clothing . he take a size 15 but the 14 fit he fine which mean they probably run big and you should size down . when these wear down probably in around 5 year I will buy he the same pair . +356 Sandal POS 5 simply the most comfortable shoe -- not just sandal -- I have ever own . have a great built-in insole . fit my flat , surgically repair foot perfectly . I wear they to work , to play and everywhere else . I will buy this shoe as long as it be make -- and then I will be sorry it be no more ... ... ... +194 Sandal NEU 3 although I have have other birkenstock for year , these seem to fit differently , but I be patiently wait for these sandal to break in and form to my foot . size or fit seem to be the problem . just be not the same as the other I have have in the past . +825 Sandal POS 5 these be the most comfortable flop , after you break they in which take a few day . do not put they on and go for a long walk as soon as you get they , you will probably lose some skin . with that say I have be wear rainbow for the last 10 year and finally have to replace my original pair . very durable and very comfy as well +169 Sandal POS 5 I have have the KEEN h2 man 's sandal for a few week now . so far , I really like they . I have very narrow foot and they can be tighten up to fit my foot very well . I like the support they give my foot and the protection for my toe . +451 Sandal POS 5 these be the third pair of keen sandal I have have and the second one of the Newport h2 . they be comfortable the first time you put they on with no break-in require and the fit be true to size . the toe box be roomy without foot slide . I have never worn sock with they so I can not report on how that work . the major pro be the toe protection . I use they for walk , boat , motorcycle ride , outdoor work , and every other activity include casual dining . they do not seem to leave mark on my boat and they wear better then most other sandal I have try . I highly recommend they for active warm weather wear . +97 Sandal POS 5 Keen 's sandal be lightweight , waterproof , shock-resistant , and use a quick-lace system . a benefit of the Keen Newport H2 Sandal over other sport footwear be that it have reflective pull loop that improve you visibility in low light condition . this can be very useful during evening hour around the campsite . recently , I purchase a pair of Keen Newport H2 Sandals . hand down , these hike sandal be the best sport sandal out there . I have wear they on numerous day hike around the Caribbean , enjoy water sport without the discomfort of drenched foot . . my advice : invest in a pair of these sandal , they be the most comfortable and lightweight sandal you 'll find for backpacking . +790 Sandal NEG 2 I buy these for my son 's birthday , and unfortunately , the size do not work as he usually wear a 11-1\/2 and a 12 be too big and the 11 too small . the sandal have a back strap , which we think would be great to get the perfect fit , but they just do not and have to return . unfortunately , the fullfillment company charge a restock fee . Amazon be kind enough to give I a credit on my account since it be not clear in the description that return would be penalize . we re-order the Ecco sandal from Amazon , and all be well . we realize sandal only come in full size , but the Clark just do not cut it . +793 Sandal POS 5 Love Keens ! and this sandal be no exception . purchase these for my husband and the fit and style be great . they be comfortable and rugged . I order the India Ink\/Rust color combo because they be the cheapest , but be so pleasantly surprise . they look much better in person than on the website !!! if I be look at they in a store and have choice for the same price , I still would pick this color combo . if you have not worn keen before , they be a must ... +114 Sandal POS 5 these be great flip flop . it only take a day of wear for the toe strap to loosen up and break in comfortably . +907 Sandal POS 5 great product ! in exellent condition . true to size .

I purchase a pair of these five year ago and they be great . the nob do not come off ... the strap finally break loose after three year of use . I just purchase a new pair in June and by August most of the nob be off already . they be almost unusuable at this point . I write to the Adidas to let they know that the quality have go downhill and get a ` corp-speak ' response but no answer or even willingness to admit they have a bad shoe now . see update below : recently , a friend of mine buy the Adidas Men 's calissage , with the clear nub , and they have not lose any nub in over three month . they seem to be about the same as this version , just better make nub . I would recommend go with the calissage ... if you can find it in you size .

I purchasae 41m and they be a tad wider than I expect but that be ok . the soft footbed be harder than Birki soft footbed and I still love they . +81 Sandal POS 5 this be a gift for my boyfriend , I originally buy a pair of these sandal at a store in Vegas but the cork on the sole split and break very quickly -lrb- these shoe be suppose to last a long time -rrb- . then I notice that there be two version of the same shoe , a cheaper one make of synthetic material and the original one , in leather . I find the stronger original one here on amazon for 71 whereas the one I get at a mall in Vegas cost 89 + tax . I receive they quickly and they be perfect ! thanks ! +874 Sandal POS 5 i have have these for about a month now . i wear they all the time . i do my best to place they in the most extreme condition possible and they have hold up wonderfully . my ultimate test be a 3 day canoe trip . i would jump out of the canoe into the delaware over and over . they have excellent traction on the slippery rock bottom and dry within a half a hour . i get they compltely muddy and then forget they in the bed of my truck for a couple of day . i just soak they in a bucket of warm water , spray they with a hose , and they look brand new again . these thing have the durability and stability of a high quality light weight hike shoe and can be completely submerge without any issue . i highly recommend they to anyone who like to get the most out of they sandal . +545 Sandal POS 5 this be the 4th pair of Rainbow sandal I have purchase for my college age child ... and this one a replacement for some `` well worn '' one ! they be a great product and worth the money , yes a bit much for `` flip flop '' but these be not `` flip flop '' and be well worth the money ! +72 Sandal POS 5 I get these shoe for my husband and he love they . he be already want another pair in another color . +672 Sandal POS 5 I originally buy these sandal think that in some way -- some how , they would come to I in the mail look like Rainbow Brights boot , and the product picture be a mistake . alas , when I receive my shoe in the mail , they be not Rainbow Bright boot , they be indeed a pair of hemp lady rainbow sandal and the product picture have not be off at all . the picture show be the exact shoe you get in the mail , and the product description be not at all deceptive -- they truly be single layer , natural , medium -lrb- 6.5-7 .5 -rrb- hemp women rainbow sandal -- perhaps I shoulve read the description a bit closer before I buy they . anyways , they be truly a lovely sandal and should get I through these next couple of month just fine . I have have they for about a month or so now and they have hold up well -- the imprint of my foot be take form on the sandal at a rapid rate and should fit my high arched foot perfectly within the next few week . would buy again . +620 Sandal POS 5 I love my flip-flop but the cheap one always seem to break where the front strap go into the bottom . these flip-flop be sturdy and worth every penny . do not hesitate just buy . +836 Sandal POS 5 the best pair of sandal I have ever own . this make my fourth pair , same style and color that I have order .

I also use a foot massager\/vibrating machine , help alot . I have 2 foot surgery and I know how to make my foot happy . love the Birki 's ! +31 Sandal NEG 1 no slam on this seller . do not pay extra money for this product because the manufacturer will not honor the `` lifetime '' warranty they offer as a selling point . buy the Rainbow Sandals for my husband at a pricey beach store and seriously overpay , but they fit well and come with a `` lifetime '' warranty . do not believe it and do not bother to pay shipping to have defective shoe send to the manufacturer . the shoe we return be two year old and be clearly delaminate and all we get be a gee sorry letter state if we want the defective shoe back we would have to pay for return postage . . the delamination be never mention . this product be not worth the xtra $ $ . the warranty be bogus ! +36 Sandal POS 5 thank goodness birkenstock be reliable and produce she same comfortable shoe year after year . it create very loyal birkenstock fan . +243 Sandal POS 5 these Keen Newport H2 Sandals be very comfortable much better than my Teva 's . I order the same size as my tennis shoe . I would not hesitate to buy this product again . the supplier in Spokane , Washington be great . I have recommend they to everyone . Amazon be so easy to deal with . +421 Sandal POS 4 these be very good thong for the price . however , if you have high arch like i do , you may find they hard to wear until you can stretch the thick leather strap . +228 Sandal POS 5 I really love keen sandal . this would be my second pair , and I have every intention to buy more . if you have never own a pair and be consider keen - you will not be disappoint . lightweight , comfortable , sturdy construction and easy slip-on design - these be a perfect pair of sandal to go anywhere . I will admit that they can run a little pricey if you be pay full msrp , but if you be lucky enough to catch they on sale , you should do it . once they go on sale , they tend to go quickly - especially here on Amazon . even with the full price tag , I be give they 5 star because Keen make the best sandal out there . +861 Sandal POS 5 this be the third time I have purchase rainbow sandal ... they be always amazing ! last forever , super comfy , kind of expensive , but worth it in the long run ! +159 Sandal NEU 3 love my old pair of Rainbows . no brainer buy these . not the best pair I have ever warn . leather be stiff out of the box . design fairly narrow for I . my wide foot take a bit longer to get that perfect fit . +512 Sandal POS 4 I get these for my boyfriend who already love sanuk ... he wear these everywhere . the suv have better tread than the other sanuk , and be better in icy condition . +863 Sandal POS 5 buy they close to 3 year ago and they be still go strong , even with daily beach use for a solid year and a half . +331 Sandal POS 5 true to size and wear in fast . these be the best sandal ever , buy they for you baby , you hobo , you grandma , and you dog . I love mine and wear they everyday . good arch support , good durability , all around worth the extra money . ca not go wrong here , these be goodgoodgoodgood sandal . +597 Sandal NEG 2 my h2 be very good on a Grand Canyon river trip a couple of year ago that include maybe 20 mile of hike and a fair amount of stress of the shoe . at day 9 the stitching begin to loosen . fortunately , that be at the end of the trip . I do not consider repair they myself ; it be pretty clear stitch all over the shoe be loosen . I get a refund and would need confirmation that the manufacture of Keens have change and improve before buy any more of they . +667 Sandal POS 5 I use to have Mephisto sandal that appear similar , but the original Birkenstock be much better . I especially like the suede top because it be soft on my foot . the soft footbed be excellent - this be the only pair of sandal I can walk for ever in . all other designer flipflop , etc , from Banana , Gucci , etc , may look cool , but be extremely uncomfortable and very difficult to drive in . again , Birkenstock be comfortable both walk and drive - I have be wear it along all summer . you can change the sole and it be ecological too ! +65 Sandal NEG 2 I wear mine for half a year and have be very satisfy with general fit , comfort , and foot support . I be very unhappy with the excessive wear that they show compare to various other Clarks sandal I have own . I have worn these for walk a average of 4 mile per day on paved street and I will consider myself lucky if I get another two month before the sole wear through and break . the insole also show excessive wear and tend to attract crud and dust that soak into its slightly textured surface . +480 Sandal POS 5 these be my second pair of Rainbows . I wear completely through the sole of my first pair . -lrb- after about 5 year of pretty heavy use -rrb- so , I purchase the exact same pair . a couple of thing to know about Rainbows ... the longer you keep they \/ wear they , the better they fit . also , there be absolutely a break-in period . they may destroy you foot the first couple of time you wear they ! but , hang in there ... it be worth those blister ! also , even though they be leather , I have get mine muddy , soak wet , etc. . . and they clean up great and survive the abuse . +445 Sandal POS 4 wear they everyday for two month in the mountain of Costa Rica do field research . Wet or dry , they be comfortable and handle terrain great while protect you foot . they do breed the funk though , more so than my Tevas do from last year 's trip , so I recommend pack some antifungal spray in you bag if you be go to be wear these in soggy condition with high humidity for any length of time . despite that , they be a great sandal and I recommend they to my student . +460 Sandal POS 5 my husband love these . he be a outdoorsman and be very picky about flip flop . these be he favorite ... have 5 pair . +561 Sandal POS 4 good thing and very good service . because it be arrive on time really . so you can go pro with the store . +681 Sandal POS 5 I love wear these shoe . the only thing I would say be that the light color turn dark quickly . oh no !

I really love my birk . +373 Sandal NEG 1 after about two year of light use , mostly around the house , the toe strap , which be roll leather , rot through . this be bad design to not have a reinforcement element inside the strap . not worth the price . +548 Sandal NEG 1 very Disappointed . these be be return because they be NOT German make Birkinstocks , they be stamp on the bottom make in china -lrb- with USA and a number on the footbed ... would that be a patent number ? -rrb- . although the foot bed may be shape like a original Birki there be not enough height from the foot bed to the strap esp . on one sandal -lrb- ? -rrb- . they also appear to be make for the thin foot . I wear the Caribbean make in Germany waterproof sandal and have several pair . I highly recommend they for comfort and durability . the Amazon description of the Waikiki lead I to believe I be get german birkenstock sandal , make in GERMANY . I do not see CHINA any where in the Amazon description , do I miss it ? I do not buy make in China shoes\/sandals and would never ever have order these have I have accurate info . +959 Sandal POS 5 love my rainbow . these be my 10 + pair .

I have use the hand soap as bath soap and can not tell the difference -- the scent and soap quality be the same . Caswell-Massey 's line of sandalwood product have be a favorite of mine for many year . the scent be so wonderful I use bar of this soap in my clothing drawer to infuse my clothing . while this blend may use other ingredient to create the blend the primary scent be the characteristic sweet woodsy fragrance of sandalwood .

I think this be the time to try keen sandal since my old sandal be `` cheapy '' . I find these keen at a good price and buy a pair . after a few walk around my lake they be break in . I find they be comfortable and a better fit than my old pair . I also think about replace my old hike boot and find a pair KEEN Hybrids hike boot and decide base on the sandal to purchase they . I have faith in they just base on the sandal . I recommend KEEN for anyone look a good fitting pair of sandal . +595 Sandal POS 4 I have be wear this shoe for several month now , and my only complaint be that it be a very wide shoe . so wide , you would think it be unisex sizing . the problem be the footb itself . even though you can cinch the upper and the shoe be secure on you foot , you can not cinch it up so you foot can not slide sideways inside it . otherwise , it be easy on\/off , secure tread -- never slip on dock yet . and it would be fine for woman w\/wide foot who would ordinarily buy a man 's athletic shoe . also seem very durable . +977 Sandal POS 5 these sandal be make of high quality material and be well craft . they be very durable , comfortable and bridge the gap between sandal and shoe . the enclosed toe provide protection unlike many open toe style and the secure fit provide by the flexible liner material and heel strap keep the sandal in place even while run . the footbed be very comfortable and keep odor at bay . overall I be very pleased with the product and the savings over retail be approx . $ 20.00 with a wider selection of color available through Amazon . +383 Sandal NEG 1 wtf be with a 2 week break in period ? I guess once they stop torture you the relief must make they feel that much more comfortable . I have worn these for a day at a time , a total of ten day , over the past year . they still be abrasive and tight and I be throw they away . my reef have last I 2 year run , be comfortable out of the box , and be still comfortable . +627 Sandal POS 5 these keen fit true to size and have a good arch support for a rubber sandal . also it be a big plus that they be comfortable with either no sock or a thin sock -lrb- good for extended walking or light hike comfort -rrb- . the sole have little bit of stiffness which also make this a good walker that can get wet and stay cool as well ! good solid product ... +449 Sandal NEG 2 this past summer , while wear ` open toe ' water sandal , I accidentally pull off the nail of my big toe while wade my kayak out of some shallow rapid just above Cochran Shoals on a urban stretch of Atlanta 's Chattahoochee River . several of the other paddler regularly wear keen shoe and highly recommend they . so , although expensive , I take the plunge and purchase a pair . on the first pair I order and receive at the end of August 2012 , one of the pull loop above the instep be only sewn on the bottom of the loop , not the top . I return those and promptly receive a new pair . since then , I have wear the replacement pair 6 or 7 time paddle other section of the Chattahoochee River , basically get in and out of the kayak at the put-in and take-out , as well as casual wear at home and around town 3 to 4 time a week for the past 3 1\/2 month . they be very comfortable and I really like the support and , of course , the toe protection . however , yesterday while eat lunch , I notice the stitch on the left shoe be loose and pull out where the outside foot-bed tab meet the back ankle strap just below the ankle . these expensive shoe -lrb- $ 104.95 include original shipping -rrb- have not see any strenuous use like hike or extensive creek walking , etc. . give the first pair have a manufacturing defect right out the box , and this second pair start fall apart in less than 4 month of casual use , while comfortable and great while they last , I recommend you find a alternative manufacturer 's product . because Amazon 's full refund return date have expire , I be out the $ 104.95 , I be unsatisfied with Keen 's product , and now I need to find and purchase a replacement product in time for we traditional new year 's day paddling trip . +244 Sandal NEG 1 beside from be the wrong color , the sandal I get be fake ... not real Rainbow flip-flop ... couldnt ask for a exchange because im currently outside the US , and it would take too much time and effort -lrb- and of course , money -rrb- to send they back . be aware , look can be deceive -lrb- specially with the picture they show you -rrb- . +972 Sandal POS 5 Waaaaaaay better than the leather sole rainbow purely because they do not get slippery when you foot get wet . have these bad boy for over 2 year now , buy 'em off Amazon originally . they have survive about 20 country across 4 continent . I have take they backpack , scuba diving , dancing , kayaking , bike ride , accidentally shoot they with a pressure washer , and watch one -lrb- the right , I believe -rrb- take a unscheduled trip into the ocean without I . they have go to the beach , to the mountain , the desert , the jungle , a mosh pit in Germany , on plane , train , automobile , bicycle , bus , and my university graduation ceremony . I still have not wear they out . when they get too stinky , or some evil envious person end up steal they , or 2017 hit , you better believe I 'll be round up another pair . +785 Sandal POS 5 I can not love these sandal any more . this would be my third pair in 12 year . I take they everywhere . there be a week break in time , maybe you 'll get a blister ... it be okay . I have hear if you wear they in the shower once and then wear they around the house it really help break the leather in . +962 Sandal POS 5 I buy these for my husband for a snorkele trip . these be he favorite shoe . even after walk in water , the foot immediately feel dry once out of the water . they never smell , which be different from other water sandal . the toe be secure , the bottom heavy and well make , and the inner cord be easily adjust to provide a good fit . even after get they dirty with mud , they wash off easily with water and look like new . he even wear they with sock now that the weather be colder . a very well-made shoe\/sandal . +135 Sandal POS 4 my size 12 newport -lrb- non-h2 -rrb- need replace , so I think this time around I would order the h2 style . I order the same size , 12 , as my old newport . alas , the h2 seem to run smaller . maybe even a whole size less , but 1\/2 size at least . they do not make a 12.5 , so I be leave to decide whether to risk order a 13 . never wear a 13 anything in my life , but the 12 definitely do not fit . hold it side by side with my regular newport , the sole be exactly the same design , but be just a smidge smaller . I think maybe it be that my old sandal be break in . nope , the sole of the h2 be a little bit shorter and narrower when place sole to sole with my Newport 12 . so order a .5 or whole size up be my recommendation . +370 Sandal POS 5 I use to go to the shoe store to buy the same sandal . once I find how easy it be to purchase online I will not go to the store anymore . ship early ! +676 Sandal POS 5 excellent service and fast shipment ! +309 Sandal POS 5 Friends recommend these after I complain about not find shoe that work well and last . I about have a heart attack at pay $ 90 for sandal . they be worth every penny and I have order my second pair . I live on a cruise sailboat in the sea of Cortez , Mexico . my husband and I love to hike and try to hike for two to three hour a day when we be in a anchorage -- start in the water as we wade ashore , across the beach and up to the peak of the nearest hill . Desert hike , over sand , dirt and rock of various size . in town , we go all over on dirt and paved road and sidewalk . temperature be typically in the mid-90 's . prior to get a pair of Keens , I have never have a sandal or shoe -- even sneaker or hike boot -- last more than three month ; I have even have they fail on the second day of wear they -- and these have be name-brand , expensive shoe market for this sort of activity . the biggest problem have be that the layer of the sole have separate , although there have be other problem as well . in contrast , my keen Newport h2 's be still wearable after 8 month and about 1,000 mile on they . that be not a typo -- about one thousand mile -lrb- I log we hike and estimate the town mile -rrb- . they be start to show wear in the tread , some stitching be pull out and the webbing be just begin to stretch in the heel . note that while we have be over some rough terrain , I have not take they backpacking or true rock climbing . I would guesstimate that half my use have be desert hiking , a quarter on beach and dirt road and the rest on pavement and concrete . several thing that I like : -- they can go from wade in the water to scramble over rock with no problem . they dry quickly and do not cause blister when wet . -- Heat have not cause they to fall apart as have happen with every other brand I have have -lrb- layer of the sole come apart , etc. -rrb- . -- where the stitch pull out could easily be re-sewn with just a needle and dental floss -- very field repairable ! -- the toe guard be wonderful . -- the footb and strap work to give you solid footing and support . -- the webbing do not stretch and cause the fit to become sloppy . -- they hold up well to all sort of abuse . -- no smell !! but beware : -- they do catch sand and pebble and you can not easily shake it out without take the sandal off . however , they be pretty quick on and off . any sandal have this problem to some extent . -- do not wear they in deep , hot sand -- it will enter the sandal and burn you foot . -- maybe it be just my foot , but they rub a little notch in the big toe nail of each foot . it be not painful , but a little strange . -- I have to play around with how tight to cinch up the shock cord for the best fit . take a little time to get they adjust to you foot . BOTTOM LINE : these be great shoe for a active lifestyle and can stand up to all sort of abuse . they last well and be worth they price . +701 Sandal POS 5 just as advertise . great fit . I have be wear they everyday since I have take they out of the box . +177 Sandal POS 5 Love Keens ! they be comfortable , easy to maintain , and look exactly the same after lot of wear . they be machine washable and tolerate all sort of abuse . would definitely recommend . these be purchase for my husband . they be he second pair and be pretty much the only thing he wear on he foot all summer . +466 Sandal POS 5 this be my third purchase of Birkenstock . the best and most comfortable sandal ever ! I recommend they all the time over the last fifteen year or so . +267 Sandal POS 5 I own a pair of these back when I be in high school and I love they so much I wear they down to the cork and then some . recently my boyfriend mention that he want to purchase a pair because he try on he brother 's birk and find they to be really comfortable . we both order a pair online and we love they so much that we even where they inside the house . accord to the Birkenstock website , narrow be a north american equivalent of normal so if you width be normal order the narrow . the size be true to size so you can not go wrong order online . if you be unsure of which size to order , order the smaller one . I be usually a size 7.5-8 and I order the 7-7 .5 size -lrb- 38 -rrb- . the soft footbed be great for I since I have flat foot and now I wonder why it take I over 10 year to replace my first pair . this be one purchase that you will appreciate and enjoy all summer long . +690 Sandal POS 5 I buy a pair of these shoe for my husband , my toddler and myself for a vacation to Hawaii since we need something that we could wear most everyday that could go from shopping , to hike , to wade the ocean . this shoe be perfect !!!!! on we previous trip we buy a cheaper shoe from another online seller and my shoe literally break the 2nd day into the trip and my husband 's do not last much longer so we be extremely happy that we keen hold up the entire trip . it have now be month since we get back and my toddler and I wear we keen almost daily . my toddler even think she be suppose to use the toe of she shoe to stop she on she bicycle and they still look great . I figure if a 3 year old can not tear up this shoe then it must be indestructable . I have since buy my 2nd pair and I be go out to find pair for my other kid for the summer . also , if you have bad knee then these shoe be great as they really take the impact for you so that you knee will not hurt . I wear these to climb a mountain and I have no knee pain at all which be amazing . +845 Sandal POS 5 keen shoe be really keen .

I decide to try the hemp one , read good thing . they be definitely comfortable and have hold up well except for one thing ... they wreak ! I do not have dirty foot and my other shoe do not smell at all , but these thing be embarrassing . I would recommend pay the extra $ 10 and get leather sandal , you will not regret it ! +616 Sandal NEU 3 the sandal itself be very comfortable but I do not get the color that I order . +141 Sandal NEG 1 just a little warning for the lady . these be MEN 's geta .

I love the black color and the covered toe bed come up nicely for add protection . the fit be still a bit snug on the width -lrb- but get better as I keep wear they -rrb- and a bit difficult to insert my foot due to my high instep . length wise it be perfect in order one size up . they be comfortable for trail walk although a bit of a pain to take on and off if a pebble get into the shoe from the side opening . love the covered toe bed and the shoe be comfortable on the bottom of my foot with just enough arch support but not so much that it bother or hurt my flat arch . the disappointment come in that they be slippery on wet boulder , wet tile , and muddy trail . we 'll see how they hold out as I see several person on here have complain of poor quality and stitching . +762 Sandal POS 5 I currently have a pair of these which be get wear out . they be comfortable wakling in they . the only problem have be small pebble get between my foot and the insole .

I have be advise to not get they wet , that for I at least , be a new concept when wear sandal . at this price , they be definitely worth a try . +283 Sandal POS 5 these thing be build tough ! they be very comfortable to wear in bare foot , and with black sock they look like nice outdoor shoe instead of sandal . very good protection from the heavy rubber toe -lrb- better than any of my normal shoe -rrb- .

I love these shoe ! I be tempt to order two . the size I order -lrb- same size as before -rrb- fit the first time so I do not have to try the return and reorder process , so everything be a snap for I . +14 Sandal POS 5 this sandal be very confortable at a great price . the color be kind of yellowish , I would have prefer a darker brwon . definitelly recommend it . +590 Sandal NEG 2 I usually like birkenstock , but would not recommend purchase they on line . the one I buy be too wide . you should always try they on before you buy they .

I really think this be because of the great design of keep the suction pipeline as straight as possible till be get to the bag , and also coupling that with a powerful motor and great rotate brush . it all combine for great pickup and powerful cleaning . the combination of a well design filter bag and hepa filtration system also keep much of the excess dust\/allergens down while operate the vacuum . Eureka have do its homework on this upright include the power hand tool which work good in do stair and take hair off of furniture . it would probably work fine on car carpet detail , but I have not try it there yet . Filter bag and belt be available at many location and at reasonable price . many of the criticism of this machine be not deserve and be most likely cause by not read the manual and understand how the machine function and also by not keep the machine clean and the filter change when necessary . in simple word , lazy people do not usually get good result when they refuse to maintain the very machine that be responsible for do the cleaning . Change filter bag earlier , not later than recommend , clear debris if the suction be decrease , change or blow out the hepa filter frequently and watch for unusual wear on the belt . this vacuum usual retail around $ 200 but I be able to pick it up for $ 133.00 with free shipping . after vacuum the carpet about three time I have notice how much cleaner they appear and how much more the nap of the carpet seem to stand up . if you be use to just run the heck out of a machine without periodic service and care then no vacuum will last or work for you . take care of it , do what the instruction say , and it will be a fantastic cleaner for you . I give this vacuum 6 star out of five because it work way better than it should . now , for the rest of the story . I be 67 year old and my wife still work full time and I be retire . I do most if not all of the vacuuming and do the entire house about 3 time a week . with this vacuum , I actually enjoy use the machine . thanks Eureka for a fine product . +859 Vacuum POS 5 I buy this vacuum about 6 month ago and it have be a life saver . I have a dog and a cat , both shed like crazy . after use this vacuum almost 100 % of the hair be remove . the smaller brush work great on stair , and make it a lot easier to clean hair off furniture as well . my dog drag a bunch of mud into the house , after the mud dry we use the vacuum to suck it out and now it look like nothing happen . even if this vacuum break after a year it be still worth buying . I like that it use the bag because its easier to clean up and no dust ! truly a great vacuum , and I would recommend it to anyone with little or large mess . +933 Vacuum NEG 1 I seem to always fall for B&D; 's product and continue to be dissapoint . they always seem great in design and initial use then within a few use the battery power be woefully inadequate . if you do some research you will find B&D; battery power product like this vaccuum or firestorm product have terrible and cheap battery . I follow the instruction on the ridiculous 5 min operating 20 hour charge process even make sure to set reminder to unplug the charger after20 hour since it do not even have a smart charger . now after only 8 or 10 short use and recharge cycle it be already dramatically decline in run time . as awesome as this vac could be , with it be drawback consider it be not worth use even if you could get it for free . IMO look for sopmethe that use a liion battery system . stay away +607 Vacuum NEG 1 the usb vac be very low quality . it be basically a fan with a little nozzle on it . now remember when I say fan ? well , a fan do not a vacuum make . sigh . the not-a-vacuum usb noise maker also break while I be try to make it vacuum . I do not force it , I be not rough . the nozzle fall off and refuse to be reattach without some serious grunting and cussing . Metro Vac make a $ -lrb- ... -rrb- version . I hate to spend that much money , but I hate for thing to be icky dirty even more . what a spectacular waste of -lrb- ... -rrb- buck . +443 Vacuum NEG 2 I purchase these bag because they be so much cheaper than the Meile bag . they do not filter as well as the meile bag and it seem like my vacuum do not operate as well . I will keep these for a emergency but have order some meile bag for normal use . +711 Vacuum NEG 2 this be probably my fault for not read more carefully but I think this would be a good vacuum for my car , to clean the upholstery and floor as well as the mat . it be actually a mini size which would be ok for a computer keyboard but nothing else that I could use it for so needless to say , I be very disappointed . +446 Vacuum POS 5 I own a Oreck for many year and love it . three month ago I purchase a Shark Navigator . I dislike it so much that I just purchase another Oreck ... I love it . light weight , great suction , great on hard wood and easy to vacumn under furniture . +840 Vacuum POS 4 I need a simple car vac that would run off the standard cigarette lighter socket - 12v dc power . live in a condo , I have no access to power where my car be park . I look at the cheaper , more `` Dustbuster '' - style auto vac from black and Decker , and the review be not favorable . I have one of those year ago that be pretty much useless . give this one a try and it be be great . now , you have to be realistic - it be not as good as go to a car wash or gas station and use one of the commercial coin-vac - this be for those in-between time when you want to get the heavy stuff out . dirt on the mat , along the edge , on seat . it be surprisingly powerful , and very versatile . the nozzle rotate in various position for reach in different area -lrb- straight out for the floor , more vertical for in-between seat , etc -rrb- . it also have a upholstery attachment that make it easier to loosen dirt from thicker fabric -lrb- trunk , carpet -rrb- . the attachable hose be great , too , for reach hard-to-get area . Everything store well , too - the cord wrap on a reel build into the unit , the nozzle retract underneath it , and the unit and hose fit into a supply carry case . my only complaint be that the unit tend to -lrb- through static -rrb- attract dirt to its exterior - mostly near the cyclone dust chamber . it can stand to be damp wipe after use . no big deal , though , and it be a good solution for those with 12v power requirement . +511 Vacuum POS 5 I be pretty skeptical , but do quite a bit of research , and discover that this vacuum be get a lot of high mark from both consumer and professional reviewer . I have spend two and three time as much for lesser machine in the past . this one be by far the best we have ever use . it suck up way more dirt than the Hoovers and Dysons we have have before . the only con I have notice be 1 -rrb- it do not have great on-board storage for its accessory , particularly the `` paw '' device ; 2 -rrb- if you can call this a drawback , its suction be so strong that it take a bit of effort pull it backward for the next pass . and we have to change the bag more often . +105 Vacuum POS 4 this be a great vacuum as far as suction go . more power than anything we have ever own . it have a couple of drawback , but I suppose they be worth it ... it be very heavy ... the cord do not retract automatically -lrb- wish they would add this feature ! -rrb- ... and it be loud . that say , it work very well . I can not believe how much stuff it suck out of we carpet . we have two cat and a dog ... work great on pet hair too . +662 Vacuum NEU 3 I have have this vacuum for two day . before this one , I have another almost identical Bissell which , in my opinion , be not old enough to have give out on I . I have take care of the filter , and empty the dust bin every time . I give Bissell another try because I be familiar with it and I think if the model be not good they would not continue make it the same exact way . I vacuum once every day with the previous vacuum and it pick up everything visible and leave nice vacuum mark , and to I that mean clean . I do not know how wrong I be until I buy this one . I give this model 's initial suction power 5 star . I be absolutely horrify at what come out of my carpet . shock . I go five swipe over the carpet and the bin be full , mostly of ultra-fine dust . I have to empty it 7 + time in my average-sized home at the initial cleaning . I vacuum the whole house again and I notice it be lose suction . I inspect and notice that it be clog , and when I try to use the hose attachment , it be full of dust and come out all over the floor when I pull it out . same two problem with my previous Bissell . I have to take this one back to the store because it just be not good enough to hold up to normal use . I would have give the model 4 star , take responsibility for my own carpet be so filthy but then realize that the reason my carpet be as filthy as they be be because of the poor performance of my previous Bissell . the carpet be new when we buy this house , so Bissell 's performance be overall unacceptable . that be why this Bissell only get 3 star from I , and why I will not buy a Bissell again . when I see how much dirt and dust come out at the initial cleaning , I say to myself , `` no wonder we be always congest , sneeze , and sick . '' not cold -- but allergy ! I do not want to invest much money in a vacuum -lrb- perhaps therein lie the problem ? -rrb- , but it look like something exceptional be necessary . +654 Vacuum NEG 2 my initial review be that the item arrive on time and be as describe ... two month into use this -lrb- we vacuum once a week and only have three room with carpet as we have mostly tile , so do not get the use most would expect ... this should not matter though . . even if it do , I spend a lot of money hope it would be the `` end all - be all '' vacuum for I . Works pretty good ... suction power not as good as my old Kenmore though it be a easier vacuum to maneuver and get around . I try to see where I can contact and get the follow repair or replace , but can not . the problem be that the power nozzle will just stop in the middle of vacuuming . I be slow and careful expect it anytime . sure enough it stop . the only way to get it run again be to power off the entire machine and restart , this usually do the trick , but I can not live like this . I be hope to get a resolution , if I can find out how . +86 Vacuum NEG 1 we have have this sweeper for about 3.5 month . it do a very good job at cleaning but there be no place to pick it up except for the top of the handle . it be bulky and very difficult to use if you have to lift it up like on a stair . to carry it up and down stair , I lift at the top of the handle and then at the roller bar . ridiculous engineering . I would not recommend this product unless you live in a ranch and will not have to lift the product . +399 Vacuum POS 5 this be by far the best vacuum cleaner I have ever own !! it be very powerful , you can see dirt be pull out of the carpet & float right in front of it . it only truly do edge vacuum on the right side , but that have not be a problem for I . my last vacuum say it do the edge on both side , but actually do neither . the Carpet pro say it do one edge vacuuming & it work wonderfully ! I upgrade the filter with a Fuller Brush Heavy Duty hepa filter . I also use cloth-like heavy duty allergen bag . my old vacuum make my allergy go crazy the rest of the day , now , no problem after vacuum ! so much better than a bagless ! some thing to keep in mind : the brush do not turn off , which may be a problem for wood floor make sure to order a Carpet pro with the `` t '' at the end to get the onboard tool from what I understand the lower end Carpet pro do not have as many metal part -lrb- you may want to double check this -rrb- so I would go with this one . if you care about a headlight & bag-indicator , check out the higher end Fuller Brush vacuum that be make by the same company -lrb- who also make riccar -rrb- . look for the Fuller Brush vacuum with the metal plate , etc. . that be about all I can think of , I be totally happy with my purchase -lrb- I have have it for about 8mo . now -rrb- , and I highly recommend this vacuum ! +231 Vacuum NEU 3 the price be right BUT the vacuum be noisy and the detail specify that it be quiet , so do not listen to the detail ! it pick up pet hair above average ~ I have a long hair dog that shed heap of fur and the vacuum do a decent job get it all up . if you have stair consider a different vacuum because this vacuum be heavy and awkward on the stair . +462 Vacuum POS 4 this replace my Hoover Tempo Widepath because I want a power brush attachment and to be able to turn brush off . pro : \* switch to go from floor to hose \* Powerpaw attachment \* turn brush off \* Easy height adjust \* good hose \* Long cord \* great suction con : \* hose be not long enough ; order extension . \* attachment do not attach well to the body -lrb- except paw -rrb- \* handle too short for tall male Neutral : \* weight ; it be heavy , and small woman could have trouble push it +106 Vacuum POS 5 I have have my Hoover Portapower vacuum for 30 year now , yes - 30 year ! still work great , but have have to use tape to hold the wand together -lrb- connection finally wear out after 30 year -rrb- ... and have replace the cloth bag two year ago . WE USE THIS THING for EVERYTHING ... from floor , to wall , to car and furniture ... you name , we have use it . my oldest daughter try to take it with she when she get marry last year ... catch she ! this thing be older than she !! she be 24 , my vac be 30 ! it still suck as good as it do the day i buy it 30 year ago ! I be keep my old one for the garage , but its time to get a new one for the house ... I would not waste my hard earn money on any other brand . Hoover be the only brand my parent use when I grow up , and that be all I have ever use . they quality speak for themselves . look forward to another great product from Hoover . I will not get rid of the old portapower , as it still work well ... just retire it to the garage and bring in a new one for the house ! +948 Vacuum POS 5 I order the Carpet pro CPU 2T Commercial Vacuum . I be look for a upright that use bag and be preferably self-propelled . this one do not say it be self-propelled , but it feel like it be - I have thick shaggy carpet and it be a breeze ! I have a Oreck XL classic that be difficult for I to push on the carpet . I be so happy with this vacuum ! I could not decide which Carpet pro to get - this one have a thicker cord -lrb- commercial -rrb- , but I do not feel like it be too thick or cumbersome . the vacuum be not too heavy for I . this model do not come with the headlight in front but I do not think I need that . I think the CPU 1 come with the light . this model come with some on board accessory - 2 piece extend wand , crevice tool , and a little dust brush accessory that I just use to clean some vent . it do not come with the wide broom-like brush though . it come with a bag inside which be great . now I have to order some more bag -lrb- riccar 2000 , 4000 or simplicity 5000,6000 or Riccar hepa -rrb- . I really recommend this vacuum - it be hard to find a good one . I do not mind the color - it be different . it do say `` commercial '' on the base . it feel sturdy but not too bulky with metal bottom plate and brush roll . I think I would have be happy with any of the Carpet pro model . this one have a 10 amp motor . it feel quite powerful and do a great job . the carpet look clean and fluffy now . the instruction book say this vacuum automatically adjust to different carpet height . I would recommend this vacuum for carpet\/rugs - not hardwood floor . I use a different vacuum -lrb- my little Oreck -rrb- on the hardwood . +530 Vacuum POS 5 just like everyone else say : it be somewhat heavy , but powerful and quiet . strong positive include the switch between hose mode and floor vacuuming , clear plastic that allow you to see what be happen if a problem -lrb- for example , yarn wrap around the brush , and the tool provide -lrb- Tiger Paw be cool and work well -rrb- . negative include the front casing -lrb- thin plastic -rrb- . I pay $ 150 for the machine , get the Tiger Paw and extra bag for the price , pay no tax and no shipping . seller be Carmen 's Vacuum of Ohio , no complaint about they quick service . +201 Vacuum NEU 3 this thing be wonderful for the first three year . I recall tell my wife when I first fire it up , `` we can actually have a conversation with this thing run '' . my only immediate complaint be that it do not do the greatest job with edge cleaning . otherwise , it be not be a bad vacuum consider it be be use daily for over 2,700 day straight -lrb- 5 child to clean after -rrb- . over-all : good suction , handle well , change only 3-4 belt , contain dirt very well with hepa filter , change lightbulb only once . here 's my experience with quality issue -lrb- heavy use , but not abuse -rrb- : year 1 : no problem year 2 : auto brush stop fail when vacuum be upright , but can still manually stop with lever . notice that it be not as quiet as at first -lrb- rattle and buzz -rrb- . year 3 : replace hose attachment due to nozzle end chip and crack . Flex hose leak . year 4 : replaced lightbulb . notice powercord insullation easily become chew if accidently run over cord . year 5 : quite loud now , but no noticable performance difference since new . year 6 : will not stay upright unless you adjust the yellow release pedal to lock in . there be be a few `` ouch '' with my wife and kid . year 7 : Power switch no longer work , the belt tension arm have weaken and the roller brush just ramp up and down -lrb- even with a new belt -rrb- . hose and nozzle need to be replace again , powercord and the roller brush should be replace ... time for a new vacuum . be the above acceptable for a $ 160 vacuum ? I guess , but quite frankly , I would be willing to spend a few more buck on a vacuum that get I out to 10yr and have better quality in plastic part and do not get louder with time and give I better edge suction . if it mean alot more money , this vacuum be probably hit the sweet spot . I consider give this 4 star , but decide on 3 as I be not really sure if it be above average with regard to wear and tear for this price point . I hope this help you buying decision . +469 Vacuum POS 5 I already own a factory recondition version of this model , so I know it would be good go in . I need a second one for a second house . these baby deliver a huge bang for the buck . they use paper bag -lrb- cheaper to buy on Amazon -rrb- but its still cheaper and easier than clean a bagless hepa filter , which be expensive to replace every 6 month . and this vacuum really suck the carpet clean . my only disappointment be that it come without the `` power paw '' hose attachment , which I would have like to have . they tell I that the recondition unit do not come with those accessory . +643 Vacuum NEG 1 I purchase this vacuum cleaner because I have have the same one in the past , but the hose break . I like the suction it have for carpet . this new one , however , be a total lemon ! the handle do not click in the upright position and therefore keep fall down . when it be switch to the floor position , it will not work . also , the carpet\/floor button be break . I be now out $ 129 plus shipping because I just put it to use yesterday after order it two month ago . very unhappy !!!!! +274 Vacuum POS 5 I have always have trouble with vacuum . no matter how good they be suppose to be , Hoover , Kenmore , whatever , they would break down within a year . this one though , seem to be make of sturdier stuff and clean really well . +890 Vacuum POS 5 I have to wonder if the people that complain about the battery life either do not read the instruction -lrb- charge at least 24 hour before first use -rrb- or if they be just stupid and expect too much out of a battery operate VACUUM CLEANER ... I have be use my Flex Vac fo a while now and have consistantly get 20 - 25 minate of run time . +941 Vacuum NEG 2 I almost purchase this vacuum , but I could not find replacement bag for it anywhere . sound like a great vacuum , but I need the bag to make it work . now I will have to purchase a substandard vacuum of which I can find readily available part . +682 Vacuum NEG 1 buy this eureka 4870mz Boss Smart Vac about 3 month ago . I base my decision on research with consumer report and the hundred of positive review in this forum . from the time I get it assemble and its first use , I realize I have make a huge mistake . this be the noisiest vacuum I have ever own . it have a constant shrill in addition to the unpleasant motor noise . it be so bad that I take it in for service to see if something be wrong . repair shop say nothing be wrong and give it back to I . next , this vacuum be very heavy and bulky compare to other I have own . if you have stair to climb and\/or clean consider another cleaner . like other have mention on this site the foot pedal handle release be unnecessarily tricky to release . plus , if you want to let go of the handle and walk away to move a chair or something forget it . the sweeper will fall over . you have to put the handle in the upright position which will automatically shut off the rotate brush . then to resume vacuum you have to reach down to the base and flip the switch to carpet . basically every time you raise the handle and turn off the vacuum you have to reach down to the base housing and flip the switch to carpet . what a pain . my wife also complain about how hard it be to pull the sweeper back and forth as she sweep . it move forward easily because of the powerful motor but back and forth can be really tiring . also , the vacuum be extra wide . can make it difficult to get into narrow place and make it difficult to manuver . on the positive side , this vacuum be powerful . it will get the dirt and dust older vacuum may not get . base on my experience I would rather have a lighter , quieter , less powerful and more user friendly cleaner than this hunk . what ever you do , try out this vacuum before you buy it to see if you can tolerate the poor engineering that go into this cleaner . +509 Vacuum POS 5 we recently purchase the twist when a 3 year-old Bissell fail . we do considerable research online & consider various review in the process . because we have a Labrador Retriever with pet-hair issue , we target Dyson & Miele as the best probable solution . we go to a local dealer & test both head-to-head . the Miele pick up test debris that the Dyson do not , so we choose the twist model price well-below Dyson 's comparable model . we could not be more pleased with the selection . it pick up everything & change a bag may be a add expense , but it be so much easier & neater than dump a dust cannister . the Miele make the carpet look & `` feel '' much cleaner & more like-new , & do a far-superior job to previous vacuum on bare wood floor . the only challenge be to figure out the easiest way to clean stair , but once master , it be not a problem . you will definitely pay more for the Miele , but it be a superior performer & with separate motor for the beater-brush & the suction , it be pretty much guarantee to last far longer than other less-expensive variety . give the Miele a test & you 'll be convince as to its quality . +347 Vacuum NEG 2 I have own one of these vacuum for about two year now . first , it be very heavy . if you have to do stair or more than one floor , you will probably go mad within the first month . I think it weigh about 25 pound . second , the hose be short . I be use to a canister vac when I switch to this . very frustrating . also , the hose be now probably more duct tape than hose . it crack . it puncture . Third , it do not come with any kind of hard floor attachment so I have always use the one off the old canister vac . this vac be just way too big and cumbersome for do hard floor . on the positive side : it have great suction . I have two big shed dog and this vacuum do the job . I do not think I have own a vac with better suction than this one . bottom line : I be give up on this vacuum cleaner . I have a small , single story home with absolutely no carpet anywhere . I miss my canister . I miss the long hose and telescopic wand . I just can not deal with such a heavy machine that I can barely transport use both hand -lrb- and yes , it have wheel -rrb- . use it for the basement or the vehicle be not even a possibility . +669 Vacuum POS 4 this be a good product . it be great on floor and decent on carpeting , but not that great on light rug , which may roll-up and get catch in the brush rather than stay put and allow the vacuum to clean . +504 Vacuum POS 5 the BEST car vac I have USED SO far and it fold up to a COMPACT SIZE to minimize space in your vehicle or ANY WHERE ELSE . +906 Vacuum POS 4 i lv this handheld vacuum ! do the job perfect . i use it on the base board , to clean up cat litter , on the floor , around the window , and in the car . light weight , easy to use . the charge could last a little longer , but i have just get in the habit of plug it in for recharge after each use . all the attachment be great . would definitely recommend . +305 Vacuum POS 4 I do ton of research before buy this at best buy . the only reason I do not buy it through Amazon be how long it be go to take to be ship to I at the time . it be a bit heavy , but when you be use it the suction be so strong that it actually pull itself some ! anyway some people complain about the powerpaw but it work great for I . sometimes the plastic attachment be a bit difficult to put in they storage area but I really have to say after six month of usage with kid and pet this vacuum work like a champ . I have have other more expensive model that be no where in the same league as this one . its a workhorse ! +262 Vacuum POS 5 all the preview review be right about this product . it give enough power to get all the dirt that it be in you car . I must admit , for the price , the product be axcellent and easy to clean . +812 Vacuum NEG 2 I buy this vacuum due largely to the good review see on Amazon . when I get it , I be surprise to find that there be no wheel on it and you be suppose to carry it on you shoulder . a few week ago my two year old sneak behind I while I be vacuum and the vacuum -lrb- which be hang off of my shoulder -rrb- knock he in the forehead leave a good bruise . I try call Plexsupply which be the company that ship it to I and they will not let I return it because it be after they 30 day return policy . I do not recommend use this vacuum or the company Plexsupply . +652 Vacuum NEU 3 buy 6 month ago , work fine no problem . fast forward 6 month and the thing just do not pick up anymore . you have to go over everything numerous time . what a hassle . and no , it be not wear out belt , dirty filter , fill canister , it just do not work . disappointing . then again what can you expect for $ 70 . +741 Vacuum POS 5 really nice product . easy to use and clean . doesnt get hot or shut down like my previous vacuum . wife love the handy headlamp feature . overall a good product and would recommend to all those who be look for a good vacuum cleaner +122 Vacuum POS 5 dollar for dollar this be the best bet for a hepa vacuum . it be heavy but it have a wide swath and suck like crazy . on a bare floor it suck so strongly that it can even get stick suck and it take a strong nudge to break it loose . come with a extra belt and a extra hepa filter . the foot lever for unlatch the vacuum from a standing to lower be `` stiff '' which cold lead to break ... however if you examine it closely it actually be a lever that do not move down but out and away from the machine -- once you know this you will `` trip '' it differently with you foot , push it outward and away form the machine ... thus avoid break this plastic piece . it carry all piece on board include the nifty spinning-brush hand tool for stair and chair . nice machine -- goodbye old Hoover ! +751 Vacuum POS 5 this little vac be amazing ! it pick up all the little particle of dirt that I track into my car . it come with a storage bag , and when inside it take up very little space . I love it . buy it +275 Vacuum POS 5 I be so happy I purchase this item . I clean residential home and I be very pleased with the power of this vac and how lightweight it be . I highly recommend to anyone . +846 Vacuum POS 5 this be a must have vacuum ! my mom buy my two sister and I one over 25 year ago and we continue to use they and have give many away as gift . it be the best vacuum for hardwood floor , tile or linoleum . the suction be fantastic and since everything go straight into the bag you can pick up sand or even small piece of glass with it . it be great for clean out the car . I guarantee you will be surprise by the suction of this little Hoover Portapower ! +477 Vacuum POS 4 for a vacuum it be very quiet . - the twist feature make it very easy to maneuver - the cord , wand , and accessory tool be very well think out . they also have a quality feel to they . - the bag be the best that I have ever see . unfortunately they cost 3 time as much as most other bag . overall a great vacuum cleaner +321 Vacuum NEG 1 we must be do something wrong . it be difficult to move on carpeting . it do not pick up dog hair particularly well . we can not figure how to adjust the height of the machine . Amazon be no help . we stop use it and return to a old Hoover . +841 Vacuum POS 5 after decade of keep house and purchase vacuum cleaner , I think I have find one that be almost ideal . I have have the Hoover Portapower for a couple of week and be well satisfy with its convenience and power . I use it almost daily to clean up after a retired husband , two cat and a dog . for year I have buy small canister vacuum for the non-carpeted room of we house because they be lightweight , and for year I have struggle with wand that fall apart while I be vacuum , short cord , machine that topple over when pull and\/or skin the paint off the woodwork , miniscule bag , low suction , cheap attachments,mega-decibel motor and motor that just plain quit . -lrb- maybe I be lucky these thing do not happen all at the same time ! -rrb- so far , this little Hoover have not exhibit any of these shortcoming . the price be moderate , and delivery be super fast -lrb- three day and I have my vacuum -rrb- . I love the extra-long cord . the only drawback I find with the Hoover Portapower be not its fault : I have small hand -lrb- ring size 5 -rrb- , and I find the hand grip a little too large to be really comfortable for I . otherwise , I be happy to give this vacuum 5 star . -lrb- by the way , I have just order one for my son . -rrb- +880 Vacuum POS 4 the vacumn work great . the only drawback be the weight of the machine . it would probably be best for a one floor home . +158 Vacuum POS 5 I have purchase so many vacuum through the year and I must say that this one be the best . I have two dog , a golden and a mutt , that shed all year long . this vacuum have bring my carpet back to the original look . it really do clean both hard floor and carpet better than any vacuum I have ever use . +218 Vacuum POS 5 I just purchase one of the Bissell helix bagless vacuume this week from target , and I love it so far . I have hardwood floor with area rug and a cat in the house , and it handle the transition between pile and floor very well and pick up everything in its path . plus , the turbo hose attachment be great for get pet hair off the furniture . the hose stay put while I work around the house , but I do need to empty the collection chamber half way through cleaning , and again at the end , so that would be a good thing to pay attention to . I have only use it once , but really like it so far . from read the instruction , it appear that the filter have to be clean and\/or replace fairly often , so that be another thing to consider . overall I be happy with the product . +811 Vacuum POS 5 this vac arrive in a way the be easy to take out the box and charge . after charge for 12 hour I go to use the vac in my rv . it work really well . lot of suction . the pet hair attachment work great . it be a small unit but it get the job do with no issue . I should have get this a long time ago . +964 Vacuum POS 5 I rec would this as a Amazon Vine choice product for review . my first impression upon see it and use it be that I love it ! my husband be not as thrill with it because he feel it do not have great suction . I really like the appearance , size , and design of the product . it be not too heavy and I feel it be easy to handle and have great manuverability . I particulary enjoy use this product with the nozzel attachment and like that I could easily see what I be do because all I be look at be the small nozzel tip -lrb- no bulky unit in you work hand and nothing block you work view -rrb- . I can see how some people may not like that for the most part this be a two hand unit ; you hold the base with one hand and you other hand sweep the nozzel . I feel that it be flexibility with the hose -lrb- length of reach , work visibility , and manuverability ; you can very easily reach all nook and tight spot with ease -rrb- far outweigh the need for use both hand . I have a 9.6 volt typical style Dirt Buster and the hand hold Eureka 71B . the dust Buster be ok , but I be not a big fan because I find it bulky to use and I do not think it be get very good suction through it be broad mouth . the Eureka be good because it have a long electrical cord , do not lose power and have both a power beater brush and the option of one hand hold nozzel tool on a short hose attachment . what I do not like about the Eureka be that due to the cord it be more of a commitment to pull out , it be heavy , loud , and blow hot air out the rear toward you . I would pass on the old fashion Dirt Buster and get this Flex Vac , though I feel the price should only be $ 40 . the Eureka be great for more long term , higher suction portable vacuuming job -lrb- like stair , or really dirty car -rrb- . the Flex Vac come with a a narrow tip nozzel , a rubbery grippy pet hair grabber which have many little grabber finger on it , and small brush end sweeper tool . +499 Vacuum POS 5 we have three kid , and a lot of mess with those three kid . for some reason , vacuum do not last long in we house , maybe b\/c we use they a lot ! I be sick of all these fancy vacuum boast all these plastic part , a bunch of filter , a bunch of attachment , etc. . i just want a vacuum that suck up cheerio with out breaking ! i be sure some of those info commercial vacuum work for people , but they have a lot of part which mean a lot of thing that can and will break . so when we start to look for a new vacuum , my husband suggest a good quality commercial vacuum . we look all over and keep skip this one , b\/c we never hear of the brand . then finally we check out this bumblebee vacuum and think we would give it a try . we like that it have just a few extra on it and that it look solid . the bag for the vacuum be cheap , easy to change . i be use to have a cup to pour out into my garbage , but now i dont have to change something every time i vacuum , like the bagless vac . this vacuum be wonderful ! it work , it do not have a million extra that will break , and it suck up cheerio with ease . if you have need a new vacuum for the home , and you feel you have to get the coolest , newest thing that you can brag about to all of you friend , keep out to show it off , this one probably isnt for you . it actually be very yellow , and do not have anything fancy on it . but if you want something practical , something that work well and will last you , this vacuum be for you . i do get this from amazon . it come quick . +51 Vacuum POS 4 8 year ago I be give the hoover windtunnel for my wedding . it never do work as well as I like . so finally feed up i purchase this one . seem to have the best review for the price . im thrill with the purchase . I want to test it , so I vacuum with the windtunnel first and then revacuum with the Boss . all I have to say be GROSS . 1\/2 a bag of dirt and gross in my carpet . im almost embarrassed now . great suction power , and great suction through the hose -lrb- which the hoover have hardly any -rrb- and accessory work great . I like that the brush stop spin for hard floor -lrb- ive have machine keep spin and inevitably spit peice at my foot which be usually bare . -rrb- not a problem with this one . my area rug have never look as good and light and fluffy and soft as they do now . not even know . I blame the Hoover . however , my one complaint be that there be a high pitched noise that by the time im do vacuum my ear be ring . I have read another review say it be loud , maybe this isnt normal , seem more then just regular motor noise . so I might need to trade mine in , but very pleased this last month with how it work . +464 Vacuum POS 5 I have try many car vac . this one be far superior to any of they . the design allow you to reach tiny corner and space . it have plenty of power to most job . +494 Vacuum POS 5 I have have this vacuum cleaner for almost three year now , and it still run strong and do a great job . I see that other have say it be heavy , but that be not true at all . I be not a very strong lady , but this machine be very easy to use . I love it , love it , love it ! +877 Vacuum NEG 1 maybe , just maybe , I get they sole lemon ... but I do not think so . out of the box , the first clue to `` quality '' be the screw that fasten the handle : as I turn it , I see metal filings drop off the screw . not cool ! then , assemble , on to check that a bag be indeed install -lrb- as a reviewer have say . -rrb- the instruction say `` open the ... '' with no instruction as to how . okay , there be a obvious latch , but when one push it , nothing happen . repeatedly . forcefully . a check of they paperwork show no phone number , no web site to call for help . it take hold in the metal latch and simultaneously prying with my fingertip . after two try , the cover stick back on . then to carry it upstairs : Whoops , no handy little handle ! then on to the cleaning . Ha , ha . four Jack Russells and a emerald-green carpet be the the ultimate test of a vacuum , only this one do not vacuum . at all . it push the hair around a little , but it do not pick it up . that be it . the end . before I pack it back up , I try to remove the bag . I be not a weakling , but it be a job . since it contain nada -lrb- all the nada it pick up -rrb- , I try to put it back on . ha ! and then , of course , have pry the cover back off to check the bag , I could not get it back on . when I get the thing back in its box , I notice that a hose have pop out of the back of the vacuum -- possibly early on in this fiasco . `` maybe it 'll suck up the dirt , '' think i. `` I do not care , '' say I. Jeff Bezos will understand . maybe my old Dyson spoil I -lrb- the new one suck , thus my search for a replacement -rrb- , but I expect some degree of convenience together with efficiency in a vacuum . this one have neither . +650 Vacuum NEG 1 Vac do a decent job for a cordless , I be happy with it until it quit . take it to a B&D; repair center and be tell they be no longer make . now I have to wait 6-8 week for a refund . happen after 6 month . probably not a wise purchase at this point and time . +336 Vacuum NEU 3 overall the Eureka vacuum be good but the suckson I find it very poor . I think the hoover have a very suckson . thank you . +112 Vacuum POS 5 we purchase this base on other review and could not be more pleased with the product . it do a excellent job , be easy to use and be very compact . it take up very little space and fit nicely into the trunk of we car , along with other cleaning and emergency supplies . +496 Vacuum POS 4 i compare this product with the major retailer , the product be cheeper by 20 buck and work very well . I be happy with the product . unfortunately i dont use it any more ; move in a tile location . . +186 Vacuum POS 5 excellent power , and do not grab the loose carpet edge , not heavy and extremely easy to push around . hardly use my canister vacuum now . +804 Vacuum POS 5 I receive this for Christmas and have probably use it everyday since . we have hardwood\/vinyl flooring throughout we main level and 2 toddler , so there be always dust , crumb , etc. to be sweep up . it work wonderfully on the area rug too . I use to use a cord stick vac -lrb- ~ $ 15 -rrb- but would never go back after use this . so much easier and do a much better job ! one of the best thing I own !! +575 Vacuum NEG 2 I would not buy this product again because of poor design and quality . the vacuum be basic and function as it should but feel cheap and piece continually fall off . for the money I would look for a Kirby on the secondary market or buy any other brand . +64 Vacuum POS 5 great product , and work really well both on carpet and wood\/concrete . also work very effectively on animal hair -lrb- cat & dog -rrb- . even use it to vacuum off the couch and bedding -lrb- both victim of say animal -rrb- . +17 Vacuum POS 4 I have have this vacuum for almost a month and I can say i do not have a real complaint about it . it make it through the holiday season pick up everything in its path , from Pine needle , screw , holly berry , food , confetti , and the such . the color scheme may not be the best , the aqua blue seem a little dated , and it have some bulk to it , but not much . it fit my need and I be happy with it . +630 Vacuum NEU 3 I have two major issue with the machine . 1 . there be no suction when I use the hose . 2 . after a few minute of use the motor stop and I have to wait about 30 minute for it to cool off before I can continue . any thought ? +40 Vacuum NEG 1 I have have this vacuum for about 2 year . in the begin it work okay but be loud and heavy . one day the belt break and since then I have be go through belt like crazy . although I buy the genuine Eureka belt and have even buy the heavy duty one nothing seem to work and after about 20 minute the belt be break . after the third belt this week break I be do with this vacuum ! I also do not think it have that strong of suction . I borrow a friend vacuum -lrb- a bag-less cheapo one -rrb- and be shock to see the amount of dirt and dog hair that it suck up even though I have just vacuum that room a few day before . I would not recommend this vacuum , I think it would be better to save up a little more and get a better quality one . I wish I have . +311 Vacuum POS 4 I buy this vacuum a couple of month ago when we Hoover -lrb- that be quite expensive -rrb- break after only 3 year . at that point I decide that I do not want to buy another expensive vacuum if we be go to have to replace they that often . I look around and compare the review for quite a few . I decide on this one because I want a bagless vacuum that be adjustable for hardwood floor and carpet . this one seem to have the best review for the price . I think the attachment that come with this one would be convenient as well . I think this vacuum be really good - it have a lot of suck power , just as much as my old cleaner . I do have to empty it frequently , but I think that be normal just for the rug that we have in we house . my biggest complaint be the stretchy hose that you use with the attachment - it do not stretch well and end up tip over the cleaner pretty often . I can tell a little bit of a difference in the quality of certain thing compare to we hold Hoover - for example the plastic wheel on this one do not seem as good as my old cleaner , but I do not really care about that as long as they do not break and it continue to do it be primary job which be clean the floor . one of the best feature be that it will lay down flat and I can get it all the way underneath the coffee table and the bed , which I have never be able to do with any other cleaner . I also like that it be much more lightweight than my old vacuum which make it easier for I to get up the stair with it . I would definitely recommend this to anyone look for a new vacuum cleaner as good value for the money spend . +378 Vacuum POS 5 tired of the bagless lose power over time we decide to try this one out . have 4 child we vacuum cleaner be abused and this vacuum take the abuse and keep on sucking . very happy with we purchase . +780 Vacuum NEG 2 after research consumer report , I buy the above captioned vacuum cleaner instead of buy another Hoover to replace my twenty-one year old machine . the Eureka come without its tool or wand . the yellow switch that be suppose to toggle between floor and carpet just flop , unattached to anything . the vacuum do a good job on the carpet , but I only have one carpeted room . it do not pick up anything from the bare floor , include Cherrios , rug fuzz which it throw off the carpet onto the floor , kitty litter or dust . and , yes , I do switch the indicator -lrb- not the yellow switch -rrb- from carpet to floor as the Eureka customer service rep. ask I . it be heavy -- on my scale , 23 pound , without the box . if I still have say box , I would return it this minute . I have not be able to try the hose attachment since the promise wand and tool have not arrive . I would not recommend this product to anyone . +266 Vacuum POS 4 okay , first off , I be go to address the consistent note I have see in all the 1-star review of this vacuum . those folk all say that there be no suction power in this vacuum . nothing could be farther from the truth !! this little guy be actually lift my rear-seat floormat off the floor ! if that be not suction power , I do not know what be . the unit fold up nice and compact and fit with all its accessory into a nice black bag that go almost unnoticed in my trunk . on the subject of accessory , there be a couple of brush , a hose , and a adapter for the hose . if you have pet hair that have weave itself into you car 's cloth upholstery , you will need to use the brush attachment to get the hair out . that would seem to be common sense , but again , look at the negative review , I think some folk expect a 12-volt vacuum to just lift it out on its own . \* shrug \* it be very easy to clean , too , and it have a handle to turn to agitate the filter inside to keep it suck up detritus when the receptacle be \* almost \* -lrb- but not quite -rrb- full . empty the vacuum be a breeze , too ! the only reason I be not give this a 5-star review be because the 12-volt adapter sit very loosely in the 12-volt outlet in my car -lrb- all three of they -rrb- . I drive a american car . the 12-volt outlet have be standardized for some time , now . so , it be a little frustrating to have to play with the plug until I find where it will sit and not randomly become disconnect from the power , even though it look like it be still plug firmly in . all in all , though , a very good vacuum , and I would highly recommend it ! +269 Vacuum NEU 3 this be my second Bissell . it be similar to the first one but this one have better exhaust filter design that be a better tight fit than the prev one that be so loose it didnt really filter anything . however , this one that I get and i suspect it be probably the same with all be that the cup where the dust be suppose to accumulate be loose . it be not a tight fit . this cause the air to escape and while heavier particle will remain in the cup , light dust will go out and I do notice that the air actually seem dirty after vacuum . well I soon figure out a way around this problem by shim up the part where the cup join the base use a fold piece of plastic with a hole cut in the center . once I get that just right , the air now smell nice and clean after use the machine since the air be not blow back out . Bissell have a higher price machine that be as they describe it a air tight or something like that . but with my little adjustment this one probably work as good as the the one for around $ 200 . other than that I dont have any problem with it . I wash out the cup wash the filter after EVERY use . I take off the hose and flush it periodically . as for the brush not turn , that happen if you happen to pick up a long piece of string as it will work its way to the edge and into the brush joint where it will gum up the mechanism . this happen once and i poke around with a sharp point to work the string back out of the edge and it start spin again . so yeah . . you will have to keep it clean , stay away from sock -lrb- a sock suck up into it will burn out the belt quick , and wash it out often but its good enough for I . if i have enough energy I will run through the house once with the vac and go over again with my Bissell wet vac . no more allergy sneezing . I can breath again without any expensive air purifier that I have spend hundred on without good result . so yes , it could use some improvement but for what I pay I be satisfy with it . +447 Vacuum POS 5 these be much cheaper than Miele and seem to work just as well . they look kind of cheap , but I do not notice any smell when vacuum so I assume it work well . +343 Vacuum POS 5 I purchase this vacuum after have many terrible experience with upright bag vacuum with burn smell , broken belt , and very short product life . I be willing to invest up to $ 100 in a vacuum and want a bagless model . base on the review I find on the web , I be go to purchase the Bissell Cleanview helix Upright Deluxe -lrb- the higher end version of this model -rrb- but Amazon only sell the regular one and it get excellent review as well , so I go ahead with the purchase . so far the vacuum have perform very well in pick up dirt , dust , hair , and debris from both carpet and bare floor . the attachment all work very well and be easy to assemble and disassemble . the vacuum have a handle for carry -lrb- not the handle for `` steer '' -rrb- and if you use it the vacuum be quite light and easy to carry . the only downside -lrb- and this be probably true with all bagless vacuum -rrb- be that when you empty the dirt canister , a plume of dust can rise up if you be not careful . I dump it gently into the garbage can without bang it against the side , and I keep my face away from it . also , when it arrive it be very easy to assemble . there be only one screw that you need a screwdriver to secure . overall , a really good value . for my purpose , I do not see any reason to spend hundred on a Dyson or a Shark . +525 Vacuum NEU 3 I purchase my Carpet pro Cpu-lt February , 2011 . love it -- not too heavy and it do the job . it quit work in September , 2012 . I have never own a vacuum with such a short life , and I only vacuum about once a week . I be really disappointed . +818 Vacuum POS 5 I purchase the vacuum to replace a Hoover that be absolutely horrible . I be lean toward a Dyson -lrb- much to my husband dismay -rrb- . after much research and self debate , I choose this one . there be some assembly , but it be quick and easy . all you need be a screwdriver . yes its noisy , its a vacuum for pete sake and to address another comment about the weight , I be far from physically fit & I carry the vacuum up and down the stair without a problem . it do a great job . love the knob on the top to switch the suction from the floor to the hose . my only fault be that the hose it too short and a little stiff . I be glad I switch back from a bagless . the power paw be very useful on the stair and furniture . it have its own little holder that slip in right behind the handle . we have way too many animal and it leave my carpet fur free and clean . I also use it on my kitchen floor and it do a fine job . most vacuum blow stuff around . all in all , I be very pleased with my decision to purchase this vacuum and love the $ $ $ still in my pcoket . +827 Vacuum POS 5 we have 4 kid , 2 dog and 2 cat -- this be the absolute best vacuum I have find !! it be amazing , pick up everything , bring the carpet back to look new ! the cord be long and heavy duty , so if you run over it , you be not go to tear it and I do not have to continually unplug and replug every couple of room . the only con I have for it be the hose on the back be very short - so buy the extension ! otherwise , this be a amazing vacuum -lrb- and I have try a lot of they ! -rrb- +817 Vacuum POS 5 so far this vac have be great . it make quick work of pet hair and whatever else the dog drag in the house . it be heavy and a little awkward empty the dust cup but because it have good suction I do not care . the battery charge be last great so far . I do not have any complaint yet and hopefully it will be the same in a year . +375 Vacuum POS 4 I buy this vacuum at least one year ago and it still work well . for the money , it be a good value . two negative : heavy , especially when carry up stair ; and the bare floor\/rug switch be difficult to switch without a struggle . no big deal , though . I be pleased with this purchase . +853 Vacuum POS 4 I think when I buy this , it would clean cheaply and would not work well ... I be wrong , it be pretty good . not lie at all , I like it ! I can tell you it be no be near be as good as a roomba , but it be not that bad . it clean BEST on hardwood floor -lrb- because it only have suction , not brush or anything like that -rrb- . so if you have a all carpet floor house do not get this product . but if you have hard wood floor this be a good product for the price . why ? because it have a thing on the bottom that you can but a rag cleaning sheet so it would be like sweeping too . it go for about 50 min and need to charge for about ... 12 hour ... yeah I know , that be LONGGG time , but if you do it overnight , -lrb- 9 hour -rrb- it clean for a long time . so now when you turn it on , it start right away . you have to watch it because sometimes it do get stick on uneven flooring , a mat , or rug . I like this product alot because it be so quiet ! I mean for a vacuum it be super quiet . overall I like it and plan on keep it ! : - -rrb- +327 Vacuum POS 5 I love this thing . I have kid and a VW camper van - needless to say , I use this thing a lot . the cord on this vac allow I to reach everywhere , have super powerful suction -lrb- it be hard to believe it run off a 12v cigarette lighter -rrb- , the circular trash cavity be a cinch to empty and it fold down small enough to store behind the driver 's seat . my van 's carpet and upholstery stay clean and I do not have to be at home to get out the big house vacuum to keep it that way , I just pull this thing out wherever we be and a few minute later thing look great . I be use to those battery-powered chargeable hand vac that work great for 2 week and then can not compete with the gravity of a single cheerio afterwards - this vac blow they all away . I will never buy another battery-powered hand vac . I be actually consider get a 12v converter so I can use this thing in the house . +535 Vacuum NEU 3 this thing work great at full charge ... so for about 5-10 min or so . then it start drop off pretty fast . I buy this about 2 year ago and I be pretty disappoint with the battery life . the other downside be it charge very slowly so it be not like you can use it for 10 min , charge it quickly then use it again . if I have a chance to do this over , I would by a cord unit . +603 Vacuum POS 5 I have two long haired cat , two dog , three kid , and a husband . I need a vacuum that do what it be suppose to - suck up dirt . before purchase this vacuum , I have a Dyson that I have a love\/hate relationship with . when it work , it work well , when it do not it be terrible . after have it repair twice and need to repair it yet again , I decide it be time to throw in the towel . be I ever glad I do !!! this thing be hand down a better vacuum than the Dyson ever think about be . my search start with look for a vacuum that would work on both hard wood floor and rug . this vacuum switch back and forth with the easy flick of a switch conveniently located on the handle of the vacuum near the spot where you place you hand to push it back and forth . the on off button be located just above where it be easy to reach with the flick of a finger but not so easy as to accidentally turn the thing off . this vacuum pick up everything !! it be so nice to finally have all the pet fur off the rug and I no longer get frustrated go over and over the same spot hope that this time the vacuum will pick it up . the front of the vacuum have a dial for adjust the height and suction level . it be so easy to switch from floor to vacuum off the crumb from the table cloth . when switch to use the vacuum on my table cloth , the vacuum do not suck in the table cloth material at all but do a fine job of get all those crumb off . the cord be long enough to almost vacuum my entire house from one centrally located outlet . I find the length of the hose sufficient to get the cobweb out of upper corner on my ceiling . I have not have the vacuum fall over on my yet when stretch the hose to reach a object I be try to vacuum . while I be not specifically look for a vacuum that have bag instead of a bagless canister , I do find that it be much nicer to switch out a bag without gunk fall out all over the place and get my hand messy try to clean up filter and gunk out of the bagless canister . there be a few quirk on this vacuum but very livable to I . the cord be easily tangle with the hose when pull the hose out . it be a little inconvenient to have to pull the cord out of the way to get the hose out but not so troublesome as to dislike the vacuum . as other reviewer have note , the wand be metal so you do have to attach one of the tool if you be use it on a surface that may scratch easily . for whatever reason , I find the attachment to be difficult to put back into place as they need to be position just right . again a minor inconvenience . also , the swivel must be lock in place -lrb- do by put the vacuum firmly in the upright position -rrb- or it will swivel and fall when use the hose . finally , I be a bit concerned about the weight of the vacuum when read other poster review but decide not to let it deter I from order this vacuum . I be so glad I do not . the vacuum almost seem to propel itself forward but the pull back be not effortless . however , I do not find this to be a problem for I . overall , I love this vacuum and find it a pleasure -lrb- almost theraputic -rrb- to vacuum again . as far as I be concerned , I will never buy anything but a Miele and I expect this to last a very long time . +988 Vacuum POS 5 love it , love it ! handiest little vacuum . I like mine so much that I be buy they now as gift for friend and relative ! +287 Vacuum NEG 1 I buy this base upon Amazon review . I be extremely disappoint for three reason : 1 . suction be pathetic . unless you rub the nozzle repeatedly at the perfect angle , nothing be pick up . 2 . male charger piece do not fit the cigarette lighter in we car -lrb- new Audi a4 -rrb- - it be so loose it have to be hold in all the time . 3 . could not get in between seat and door jam -lrb- for example -rrb- with attachment - they be way to big . lot 's of `` stuff '' accumulate there , so what good be it to have part clean and other part uncleanable ? will return this . +649 Vacuum NEG 1 anyone consider a ORECK XL should be treat to the experience when the paper bag let loose inside and dirt fill the cloth bag . this happen from time to time despite carefully insert the paper bag . you need instruction from ORECK and a strong grip to remove the bag . do this outside ! then you need to wash the bag in you laundry sink at least two time with plenty of rinse until the water run clear . then you need to blot and air dry the bag . a lovely sight hang from the shower rail , all this before you reinsert the next bag . my husband refuse do this routine and buy a Dyson for upstairs leave I with the ORECK for downstairs . yes , it be light and have last , but high maintenance . +599 Vacuum POS 5 I have have this vaccum for a little over a month , and so far , it work fantastically ! I use it almost daily , and it pick up everything in its path . the on board tool be great for vaccume the sofa . I would definitley recommend this vacuum to anyone who need a good vacuum on a budget . +265 Vacuum NEG 2 Have have this machine for 3 year now . clean very well but be heavy , cumbersome and attachment easily fall off sweeper . hose be also difficult to work with . I do not know who C.R. have evaluate this machine , but it deserve no higher than a two-plus , and that be be generous . +252 Vacuum POS 5 this vacuum be pretty amazing . you do have to clean it out a lot , but that be because it suck up everything . pro turbo brush be awesome very good suction not too loud easy to clean con the hose be too short ... it end up fall over on I when i vacuum the rug with the turbo brush +570 Vacuum POS 5 Roombas always seem like a idea whose time have come -- but the actual product be not quite there . last month I decide that I be ready and buy the 564 Pet Series . we household consist of two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels -lrb- mad shedder -rrb- , one short-haired cat , and two untidy people . I schedule the Roomba to run every night at 11:00 p.m. , after we have go to bed upstairs . we do not hear it all . the area it cover include the living room , dining room , and kitchen . and every morning I empty a nearly full container -- hair & crumbs & mystery dirt . I be more than pleased at the Roomba 's performance . it be only get stick once in a collection of cable that I have since block off . I be quite happy with the purchase . as long as it keep pick up stuff I really do not know be there , I be delighted . and I be very fussy about floor . the dog do not care a whit about the machine . the cat initially look at I with a `` what fresh hell be this '' look -- but she always do that . she just give it a wide berth now . +139 Vacuum POS 5 I have not have experience with other Miele model , but if this thing be any indication , Miele make a line of excellent machine . here be a quick rundown of SOME -lrb- but not all -rrb- of the advantage and disadvantage of this unit : pro : + excellent filtration -lrb- as good as it get -rrb- + quieter than any vacuum I have ever hear + low ground clearance + well designed\/engineered in pretty much every aspect -lrb- I love the cord winder , wheel , bag , auto-shutoff , etc ! -rrb- + look really slick while still subdue -lrb- do not scream `` I be a Dyson ! '' -rrb- con : - typical disadvantage of be a canister vac . sometimes difficult to maneuver around corners\/doors , sometimes a pain try to reposition hose . - attaching\/detaching certain tool and the wand itself can be a little awkward at time - price be steep ! the bottom line be that if you can afford it , you absolutely can not go wrong with this vacuum -lrb- or presumably any Miele -rrb- . I give it 5 star because , while not \* perfect \* , it certainly be the best vacuum I have ever see or use ... and by a landslide . note : if you have carpet , I would recommend any model in the s5 line -lrb- except the Pisces , which do not include a power brush head -rrb- . for primarily hard floor , any of the Miele model should meet you need . +554 Vacuum NEG 1 I be surpise by the postive review for this vacuum . the best thing about the vacuum be the design . it do not do what it be suppose to ! suck up dirt ! it be awful , there be no suction . it be a complete waste of $ 39.99 . I end up use a shop vac or go back to the car wash place now . do not waste you money on this . sure it look good but it do not work . +395 Vacuum POS 5 I be sick and tired of the bagless , the mess , dust and use my air compresser to blow out all part of my Dyson canister . I really think this eureka out clean and be cleaner all around for a fraction of the cost . +695 Vacuum POS 4 I have have my Eureka Boss Smart-Vac for about a month now , and I be still impress with the job it do . my old vacuum be so ineffective that I fill the bag on my new one by vacuum once ! we have a cat , and it be always so hard to get she hair out of the chair she always sit in . the power paw remove the hair in just one or two swipe . I read many review before purchase this vacuum , and most of they be fairly accurate . my husband and I both agree it be heavy , but it be not really that hard to maneuver . it really do a very nice job pick up everything and make the carpet soft and fluffy . the plastic it be make of feel a bit cheap , so I question the long-term durability of the product , but the price be a great value consider how well it perform . it be very quiet running and the hepa filter make the air smell really fresh when I be do vacuuming . my old vacuum 's hose use to clog all the time , so I really like how this one have a clear hose so you can see where clog be . however , I have not experience any clog in this vacuum 's hose as of yet . -lrb- yes , the power paw attach to the vacuum . the direction just do not tell you how . it be not hard to figure out . there be a plastic holster for it that clip to the back under the handle . -rrb- so far , I be very happy with this purchase . +580 Vacuum POS 5 I have have this vacuum about 1 month-definitely plenty of suction , as claim . the path be wide so you can finish a room quickly . unlike the dyson , you do have to manually change a switch to go to bare floor or to use the hose , but the suction be really good and at around $ 100 be way more affordable than a dyson . the replacement bag be easy to find at store and you do not have to shake the dusty dirt into the trash can , just pull out the bag and put in a new one . Amazon be definitely the best price around and walmart have stop carry this model . +301 Vacuum POS 5 I be look for a vacuum that have strong enough suction to pick up small item and hair off my carpet . after read several review I decide to order and I love it ! this vacuum pick up more than I ever even know my old vacuum be miss ... I know enjoy vacuum cause I only have to go over a area once and the vacuum pick up any dirt\/hair . very easy to assemble and use right out the box . +474 Vacuum POS 5 I be very happy with the speedy delivery , the good price , and the vacuum cleaner in general . it be everything as advertise . I save a bunch over buy it locally . +21 Vacuum POS 4 the hose be pretty short and I always tip over the vac when get corner or window . it be on the loud side too . otherwise great and the heap filter be a must for kid and city with lead paint !! +602 Vacuum POS 5 we have a large house with lot of hardwood floor . this vacuum allow we to vaccum about 3000 s.f. of floor in about 15 minute as well as remove the dust and cat hair from the furniture and window sill with the attachment at the same time . I now hate my kid 's three cat a little less . +563 Vacuum POS 5 the Flex be really good for pet hair - and so easy to use on the stair and in the car . so much better than any hand hold I have ever use . also ideal for quick little mess instead of get out the full size vacuum . +729 Vacuum NEU 3 I think I would finally find a vacuum that do not easily clog -lrb- because the dirt path be more direct into the bag -rrb- and pretty much do what I want . however , as other have note the plastic do break . the release mechanism from the lock upright position to allow vacuuming be difficult to operate and do not appear to be of a very good design . it eventually break . when I call the `` 800 '' number about service I find the nearest warranty service be about 130 mile away even though Eureka list nine major store sell its product in town . the other problem I find be that you can not talk to a live person : Eureka provide one number for `` service '' with four option and press `` o '' will not do any good . this be get so typical of many company . I will not deal with this attitude so its go back ! +258 Vacuum POS 5 I have have my Roomba for about a month and I love it . I read a lot of review , about many different type of automatic vacuum and choose the iRobot Roomba 564 Pet Series . I have a dog who shed like crazy , tile floor with a area rug in the living room . I have set the Roomba to start at 6:15 a.m. every day and it do its thing before I leave for work . the area rug in the living room look freshly vacuum and all fluff up every day . the tile floor feel great on my bare foot . my dog be annoy by the Roomba seemingly follow he around , but he seek higher ground and take a nap while the Roomba work . I vacuum my floor with my Dyson vacuum prior to use the Roomba for the first time and be amaze at how much dust and pet hair be in the filter at the end of the Roomba 's run . I clean the Roomba either before I leave for work or when I get home , depend on how much time I have . it only take a few minute and it be worth it to have the floor feel less gritty . on Saturday morning , I steam mop my floor after my Roomba have finish its round and I love the convenience of have the floor ready for the steam mop . I would highly recommend the Roomba to anyone look for a way to stay ahead of the dust and pet hair ! +172 Vacuum NEU 3 very good gadget , size : excellent ... but the only problem I see be that the battery last a short time he can not clean my truck after return from a day at the beach . it should also be useful plug in at home or in the car , but can only be use after recharge muy buena gadget , tama & ntilde ; o : exelente ... Pero el unico problema que le veo , e que la pila dura muy poco tiempo no alcanza a limpiar mi camioneta luego de regresar de un dia de playa . se deberium poder utilizar tambien enchufada , en casa o en el carro , pero solo puede usarse , luego de recargada +503 Vacuum POS 5 this little commercial vacuum cleaner be one of the best buy out there . I can clean up great Pyrenees hair with ease and empty out the bag and start over again with out clog up cleaner like other machine I have kill with dog hair . +516 Vacuum POS 4 I have all hardwood floor and get tire of sweep up copious amount of dirt and hair produce by my family and dog . but i really do not like vacuum since my house be small with lot of furniture to get under , and most stick vacuum have pretty bad review . so i decide to try the backpack vacuum , and i love it ! it be easy to maneuver around the house , just remember not to back up too far . I find it fairly light , but then i be also strong enough to lift my own luggage into the overhead compartment on the plane . weak people would probably be better with traditional vacuum . this vacuum be powerful , and the only thing i wish it have be some way to keep the attachment comnect to the unit when not in use . +758 Vacuum POS 4 this vacuum have great suction and maneuverability . I love the long cord also . only negative I see so far be that it be quite heavy . +574 Vacuum NEG 2 I be very disappoint with this vacuum . I just get the 18V Pivot Vac Black & Decker Pivot Vac 18V Cordless Pivoting Hand Vac , phv1810 I can clean my floor mat in about 1\/2 the time with the other vacuum because the suction power be much better . do yourself a favor and get that one as it be only a few dollar more , it be cordless and rechargeable and suck much more than this product . the Guy Fieri inspire color scheme be off-putting as well . +230 Vacuum POS 5 I buy this vacum about a year ago now and I have to it be truly a great buy ! its a little heavy but other than that consumer report be dead on with it review and high recomedation . +913 Vacuum POS 5 this be the ultimate cordless vacuum i have ever own . I use this for the pet hair and also around the woodstove it work great when you have that little spill or need to do a quick job . unbelievable job on pet hair . this little machine have alot of power and be so easy to use and clean . the battery life work great if you follow the direction . I would recommend this product to anyone who be look for a cordless vacuum with alot of power . +843 Vacuum POS 4 this vacuum cleaner have wonderful cleaning power , but I find it extremely heavy to push and pull around . the cord be nice and long -lrb- maybe too long -rrb- . +519 Vacuum NEG 1 I check out this vaccuum on consumer report which be the reason I buy it . well , to my disappointment it be the WORST vaccuum I have ever own . not only be it clumsy to use with the hose continuously fall off , but it burn my carpet whenever I use the hose . I do NOT lean on it or push it forward as it warn on page 7 of the warranty ; the vaccuum would singe the carpet just sit upright even after 10 seconds of use the hose . what a extremely poorly engineer vaccuum . what I be really surprised about be even if someone be to barely lean on it , a vaccuum should never burn you carpet . how can they even put this product on the market ?!!! +13 Vacuum NEG 1 when I first get this little vacuum I love it . now , just over a year later I throw it away . it use to work really well for wood floor and above floor cleaning . the suction be ok , but not good on carpet of any kind . the attachment be easy to use and change . I buy it after have back surgery because be not able to push and pull a upright and hate drag around a canister . this come with a strap that you can put over you shoulder and it have a very long cord , so it be very convenient . the only problem be that after only a year it be completely dead . if you be look to buy a new vacuum every year this one should do the trick . +750 Vacuum NEG 1 I spend a considerable amount on my Miele . however , it have be plague with breakage of the poorly design cheaply make plastic part . one of the tiny e lid hinge snap . it be very small , flimsy design , and do not belong on a machine at this elevated price point . the dealer state it be not cover under waranty . I have a problem with the electrical connection in the power wand as well . I be never buy Miele again . company like Miele have no business building product out of cheap fragile plastic . it show complete lack of integrity and disregard for the end user who get screw with expensive repair . +319 Vacuum POS 4 decent replacement bag and I have use many of these with no problem . I would have rate they at 5 star but they do have one small glitch . I believe these be originally design for older Bosch model with a elongate container\/bag compartment . the current model bag compartment be wider than long so that be the glitch . the Bosch bag be design for this and if you be look for a better fit , then I would choose that route . but for the price , these be a great alternative . in my opinion 20 bag at the same cost as 5 Bosch bag be worth it . they do fit fine and might hold a little less due to be lengthwise . instead of just insert the bag , I will open\/fluff it up and then insert it . it take all of about 10 seconds . if you just insert the bag , the bottom fold over and obviously it 'll affect how much it can hold . as a quick comparison Bosch bag sit sideways and these sit lengthwise . Hope that help . +88 Vacuum NEG 2 well I should of known better when order this because it be a 50\/50 split on the negative and positive review . but I take a chance and order it . basically everyone who say this lack power be 100 % correct . the suction on this be not just weak but practically non existent . it sure sound like it will do something by all the noise it make but it would hardly even pick up a hole punch disc -lrb- the little circle you empty out of a hole punch -rrb- I even try a test to see if it would work and of course it fail . I just sprinkle a tiny bit of flour on my counter to see if it would suck it up . well no it sure do not . but all the air blow from the side vent blow it around all over the kitchen . LOL thankfully this be not expensive cuz if it be it would be go straight back . it be not the seller 's fault as they do not make the product . its Dirt Devil . +950 Vacuum NEG 2 the vacuum look great but do not have any power . add the hose and the other tool and it just get worse ! you would be better off with a wisk broom and a dust pan ! hate this product and may return it if I can find the box . shame on you black and Decker ... make in China K R A p ! +236 Vacuum POS 5 I be delighted with this vacuum . almost embarrass on how much dirt it get each time . the first use I have to clean the vacuum after only do two room , no dog or cat , and just recently vacuum by a Panasonic canister . we also take we shoe off in the house . I be be very impressed with the sequential filter they have in this vacuum - at least 5 before the motor and then two on the output include the hepa filter . while messy to clean , all of the filter and canister easily come off the vacuum , well design in this aspect . I find that I need to clean after every use that cover about 1,000 sq. ft of floor . it be very good at pick up yarn - my wife be a knitter and the little slub be a pain to get with the Panasonic canister I have . have to scrape away to get - now everything get take by this vacuum . the only complaint I have it that the suction around the edge and side be not great so I have to use the attachment to do the corner and edge near the chair and couch that be too close to the floor to allow it access . the rotate beater brush almost give it a self propel feature . very good on short carpet , like to grab the fringe on throw rug , sort of like try to take a bone away from a dog . bottom line , totally happy with it after a few month of use . the noise be even reasonable . only downside be that wife be too smart to be around when it need cleaning . ymmv on this aspect ... +902 Vacuum NEG 1 unless I be miss something or I get a lemon , I can not imagine why the average # of star this vacuum be get be as high as it be . I research vacuum for a few week before I decide on this one - it be a very inform purchase . even though there be plenty of feedback state that this be rather heavy and difficult to push around , I take that chance , as it do not really bother I . however , the degree to which this vacuum be totally unwieldy border on the ridiculous . not only be it heavy , but it be so hard to push it almost feel like it have brake on . I only have 2 area rug in my house to vacuum and we have just stop use it altogether because it be so difficult . Does be suck ? you bet - a little too well , in fact , because it actually eat the corner of one of we area rug . but I would happily give up some of the suck power for a vacuum that you can actually work with . +919 Vacuum POS 5 this be a lightweight and powerful little machine . better than my big vacumn for most area . not so great for get hair off carpet , but I do not have a lot of carpet . good on furniture though . have lot of indoor pet and I use this everyday without a struggle . +58 Vacuum NEU 3 my wife be a cleanaholic ! she only use this product . she love it . the visual of the dirt that be just pick up be a big plus . I on the other hand be not that impressed with the ` fan and motor ' part of the vac . after some use the motor\/fan unit make a god awful noise . it do not hamper the vacuum function of the unit but it do sound bad . the motor\/fan unit be seal and not fixable ! so the whole vacuum become a ` part machine ' when we can no longer tolerate the noise . too bad , a great machine otherwise . +748 Vacuum NEG 2 First off , do not buy this vacuum if you think you will use the hose\/attachments to clean drapes\/furniture . for some unfathomable reason detach the hose open up a unfiltered exhaust ; whatever you vacuum with the attachment blow right out the back , cover the vacuum , the vacuumer , and the room you just vacuum in dust . it be literally worse than do nothing . the build quality seem pretty cheap ; a plastic clip snap off when I attach the handle , and this be with I follow the direction and not force anything . for floor vacuuming , I can not seem to find a setting for most of my rug that allow the vacuum to glide while still pick up dirt . the three filter system be also ridiculous . why this vacuum get such rave review be totally beyond I . I be between this vacuum and the Eureka Airspeed and settle on the Bissell since target be closer to I than Walmart . if I be you I would try the Airspeed . +341 Vacuum POS 5 I have have the Oreck XL2100RH Commercial for ten year now and think it be a great vacuum . I just buy a new roller for it on Amazon for a great price along with some belt . have to replace the fan housing assembly three year ago when the plastic crack , but it work fine now . just do not let the handle hit the ground too hard , I think that may be how I crack the fan housing . keep it clean around the roller and belt for optimum performance . it be amazing how fast dirt and pet hair will build . it do a great job on pick up pet hair . for the price , you can not go wrong . +440 Vacuum NEG 1 I have have this vacuum for 3 year and it just completely fall apart on I . first the attachment begin chip off , the hose get a big rip in it , then the foot pedal break off , and now the upright part will not stand straight because it break as well . it have very good suction , but the plastic material they make these vacuum out of be total crap ! the design be very poor . I go to try a different company now . +683 Vacuum POS 5 I love my vacuum ! it be perfect for wood floor , tile and carpet ! it be so much better than use a swiffer ! its easy to use on the stair , light and a great product . I would reccomend this product to anyone who use a swiffer , have pet or hard floor in they home ! +12 Vacuum NEU 3 I have be use a swiffer sweeper\/vac for awhile and like it for quick cleaning of my kitchen floor . however , it seem like the battery life be very short and I be always have to charge it and completely replace it to often . so , after read the review I decide to go with the Black and Decker because it talk about the good battery life and good suction . well , the battery life seem to be good -- I can vacuum by kitchen and several other room before need to charge it . the suction I be not as happy with . it do a alright job , but I often find myself go back over piece to get they pick up as the vacuum have to go right over the top of bigger piece to pick they up , especially cat litter . I think it do a better job on the carpet because I have the brush turn on . clean it out be easy . +980 Vacuum POS 5 I waste my money six month ago on a Hoover Tempo . it have be recommend by consumer report which I be now start to suspect of be highly bias towards certain brand ... since that Hoover Tempo be a piece of junk . I use it 20 time and the thing break and become completely un-usable . I do not even want to bother with the warranty . I be never go to consider Hoover for anything . I have fear before get it due to some mixed feedback include some that be poor -lrb- how can this be a cr recommend product ... -rrb- . it be in-expensive so that make I try it out . pure Garbage . I decide to check out Miele since my mother in-law have highly recommend it . I check product review and they be great -lrb- aside from the high price tag -rrb- . this product be actually design to last 15 year . I bet it will be the last vaccum I `` ll ever have to buy . this product be heavy , it be build solid . if you need to do a lot of cleaning in stair and you be not a strong person this may not be so appropriate . but for bare floor to carpet , this be unbelievable . I be so glad I get this . it also do not take I much time to clean up . it suck dirt so efficiently and quietly , it be amazing . filter may be expensive but who care , this make you house smell nice , very clean and quickly . get the cheaper blue model . who care about how it look ; it be in the closet most of the time . I be not go to be pose for GQ while I vaccum . I give my highest rating to this product . +732 Vacuum NEG 1 I have be want one of these for a LONG time and be glad to see it have 4 HP since I need it to be powerful . but if you can not use disposable bag and if the wheel break ... plus i buy it at walmart . I know amazon would give I a refund but I have to hassle now with walmart and try to drag it around on three wheel ... and again , the bag , the bag . +864 Vacuum POS 5 we just buy this to replace the same model we have have for six and a half year . it be still work , but not with as much gumption , so it be be retire to the basement . my husband do the vacuuming , and he say `` get another one just like this '' , so we do . +569 Vacuum NEG 1 this vacuum have cost I almost as much in drive belt as I pay for it . +873 Vacuum POS 5 I order the Hoover brand type y replacement bag for my Hoover vacuum cleaner . they cost a little more than some generic type y bag , but I think it be worth it to buy the manufacturer 's bag to ensure a proper fit . the bag opening attach to the vacuum cleaner port and the bag have to have a immediate 90 degree bend to fit inside the enclosure . a previous bag not make by Hoover seem to fit poorly and some debris would collect inside the vacuum cleaner without reach the bag . since I have these Hoover bag , I have not experience that problem , so it seem to be worth a few cent more . shipment be very prompt . +769 Vacuum POS 5 plenty of suction , nice long cord , for quick pick up . not the best for deep cleaning rug , but for the price , a good value . +498 Vacuum POS 5 this be a nifty little tool . I want something small but efficient to keep on my kitchen counter for pick up crumb , lint , etc. from the kitchen counter and floor mat . it be really quite powerful and small enough that it be barely notice on the countertop . great buy for little job . +453 Vacuum POS 5 I absolutely adore this little gem . besides be just as cute as can be , it be perfect for my small apartment . the charge last long enough for I to do what I need to and if it do get low I can plug it in and continue vacuuming . the cord be quite long and be perfect for those hard to reach place . I love mine ! +768 Vacuum POS 4 we remodel we home this summer , replace the 20-year old carpet with solid hardwood throughout . I buy a Hoover Cyclonic upright , but while it be a good vacuum , it be not very handy at pick up the dustball and dog hair along the baseboard and under furniture . my spousal unit -lrb- s.u. -rrb- be not happy , which be a situation I try to avoid at all cost ... so I look for a low-cost supplemental vacuum . I get S.U. 's tentative approval to give the Hoover Commercial Portapower Vacuum Cleaner a tryout . it arrive in a record 4 day 's time , and we have just now try it out . this be a superb appliance for we housecleaning mission ! it be indeed lightweight , with all need attachment , and a nice , long power cord . everything connect intuitively , with strong and secure connection . for we geezer , this Hoover model use the same kind of connector that Hoover model have employ since the 1950s , which REALLY suit my retrophile S.U. best feature ? metal extension wands\/tubes . they do not telescope , so when we be suck up rogue dustbunny from under the bed , we have a Kareem abdul-jabbar-like reach ... very nice ! the suction be not overwhelming , but it be more than adequate for we need . one small negative : the S.U. be not use to have equipment sling from a shoulder strap , so she be bang it into wall and doorway . -lrb- of course , this may have be she clever way of get I to take over the role of portapower operator , but I be cool with that . -rrb- oh , and I have to really concentrate so as not to refer to we new vacuum as the `` Hoover porta-pottie '' we highly recommend this vacuum for folk with hardwood or vinyl floor , especially if you live in a relatively small home . I expect it to perform well when vacuum out we vehicle , but I save that bit of excitement for New Year 's day ! +938 Vacuum POS 5 I purchase the iRobot 564 Pet Series because of we very large white cat who shed all over . I expect that the Roomba would be helpful but be really surprised that it do a better job than my Orek . she -lrb- we call she rosie -rrb- take care of all of we floor : wood , carpet , throw rug and slate without a problem . the only thing she get hang up on be my livingroom drape , a simple thing to adjust for she . my husband and I have discuss hire a maid but now that Rosie be here I get clean floor every day ! +753 Vacuum POS 4 this vacuum just about perfectly fit the need for my car . it be small , power by a outlet -lrb- not battery -rrb- , have a bag and get most spot really well in my car . the only downside and the reason for a 4\/5 star rating be the limited suction and difficulty get the hard to reach area like at the base of the seat . it may take a little longer but I can get the same quality cleaning without pay $ 1 at a car wash . I also do not have to drag a vacuum and extension coord out of the house . I recommend it ! +310 Vacuum POS 5 I be very happy with how it work . in the past when I have a Eureka and a Bissell , I test vacuum by vacuum the first time , then a second to see how much it actually pick up . the perform the same test a week later or so . I like that the receptacle have a lot of of hair and dirt to empty out on the Bissell and that when I vacumm again it be almost none to empty out . now a day I vacuum a couple of time a week because I have a lab that shed he size every couple of day ! basically , I be very happy with this vacuum : -rrb- +508 Vacuum POS 5 we have a ORECK XL for many year but it finally need to be replace in 2006 . we order a new one from the company but it disappointed and we move on to other brand , none of which perform to the original ORECK standard . we decide to take another chance on this commercial model and it be fabulous . whatever issue might have happen to quality in the past be over and this model perform superbly . it be like get a old friend back ! you can not beat the lightness and mobility of the ORECK XL . this commercial model come with a very long and very heavy duty cord that everyone will appreciate . Super easy assembly . some might be put off by the plastic handle and housing but remember these contribute to the beauty of its lightness and portability . we have no hesitation at all in recommend this . the price point can not be beat and the shipping be lightning fast in just two day . good job ORECK and Amazon ! +323 Vacuum POS 5 I buy this sweeper after spend less money on another brand . that one do not work for what I need it for . I have tile floor and the Eureka Boss Smartvac work great on they ! this be the reason I buy this sweeper -lrb- and the good review -rrb- . if you need a sweeper with a great suction and will work just as equally on carpet as it do on bare floor , then this be the sweeper to buy . it be a little heavy and hard to manuever at first but I have get use to it . well worth the money ! I will never go bagless again . they be just too messy and seem to have more build-up than the bagged sweeper . +29 Vacuum POS 5 I have have bad luck buy a small vacuum before . its so hard to find one with enough suction . this one definitely have it . I love it . lot of suction , long cord , lot of option . I do not need a carrier for the attachment they stay in the closet until need . +992 Vacuum POS 4 pro : the vacuum cleaner have very good suction and be easy to handle . the transition from carpet to bare floor be very easy . I be very happy with the unit . con : the packaging be not as good as it should be . the foam inside the box be break and it take hour to clean the floor of foam particle . +73 Vacuum NEG 2 they be slow in shipping and be $ 30 . higher than Lowes . the product it be self work great . +720 Vacuum POS 4 wow ! the suction be great on this vacuum and I love the minus attachment , it work great on stair . great price too . it be a great vacuum ! +217 Vacuum NEG 1 Eureka ... yep that sum it up . Eureka what have I do ? heavy heavy ! you gotta be a heavy weight Champ with `` BIG gun '' to make this thing move . it propel itself forward , but if it go off course ... good luck . pull this machine back towards you be a `` feat unto itself '' . the attachment be a total pain in the # \*\* . to dial from carpet to flooring be another Task that only the the `` Toughest and Strongest '' should do . I hate this machine . I wish I could RETURN IT , but I already use it ! I be no whimp lady and gent ... but this machine be bulky , clumsy and down right burdensome . the only star I give , be that be suck ... really suck . -lrb- ha , play on word -rrb- - good suction , bag the junk and keep it from fly back into the air -lrb- hepa filter -rrb- , but suck for what I pay for it . I be on a quest for a new machine . any suggestion ? +263 Vacuum POS 4 the Eureka 4870mz really suck ! now , that be not a unkind remark when refer to a vacuum cleaner , right ? I have use my new Eureka only 3 time since purchase it , so have no long-run experience with it . my last vacuum be a cheaper Eureka model from 1990 , and it work fine except for plastic part that break and attachment that be annoy to put in place , so I rarely use they . the Eureka 4870mz carry all of its attachment that can be use easily , but the vacuum be heavy and not as easy to handle around furniture in a small apartment . it be a strong performer ; however , I question how durable it will be -- especially the plastic part that seem to be fragile . Time will tell . suction be very powerful and it be not too noisy . so , I would recommend the Eureka 4870mz even though my experience with it be very limited . -lrb- ... -rrb- so , the vacuum arrive ok as do a extra belt and extra vacuum cleaner bag which all come from different place , but arrive when promise . Amazon get very high mark for good pricing , a excellent website for order , and deliver the goods on time . the Eureka suck , but Amazon do not ! +598 Vacuum POS 5 receive on time and in good condition from -lrb- ... -rrb- . this be a Electrolux upright carry the Eureka Sanitaire name . reasonably quiet , have dual motor . Use suction-only motor when sweep hard floor or use hand wand , turn on both motor to vacuum carpet with brush roll . one suction speed , four floor height setting . Easy to switch suction mode between wand and brush , ergonomic control . operate in prone position to vacuum under bed . no headlight , have heavy 50ft removable cord , a little on the long side but okay . a significant improvement over the bagless vacuum it replace . this product be compare with Sebo and Miele . use for one month before write this review , purchase for household with many pet . +324 Vacuum POS 4 I love this vacuum , however , it be too heavy and bulky for my 2 story house . pro : twist feature be great , easy to unpack and set up , super long cord , great suction , beautiful to look at . con : Heavy & bulky . could not vacuum the stair with it at all . do not seem to work very well on ceramic floor -lrb- would not vacuum up the paper clip I sprinkle on the floor -rrb- . best use : one story house with lot of carpet , otherwise consider a Miele canister vacuum . +131 Vacuum NEG 2 I purchase this vacuum today at a local dealer and return it today ! I get it home and immediately plug it in only to find the power brush would not work . after 3 phone call back and forth , we discover the wand be defective . I can say , it be a quiet well design vacuum . but at $ -lrb- ... -rrb- + tax , I expect everything to be perfect ! so back it go . I would tell anyone who want this vacuum , make sure you try the one you will be buy , in the store , before you leave . or be prepare to do some postal shipping and more wait . I for one , decide it be too soon to be replace part , so I just become disillusioned and return the whole thing . to miele I say , you quality control be no better than China , Taiwan , etc. . I guess so call `` german '' craftsmanship be go ! +540 Vacuum NEG 2 the price be right , not self propel so it be hard to push , hard to change the height adjustment up and down . +0 Vacuum POS 4 this feel really substantial , unlike many other cordless portable vac . have very good suction and be easy to maneuver around , though it be a bit heavy . the ability to fold it and store it in the charge cradle be also a plus . the only drawback be the cleaning . it be awkward to turn on its side and you really have to remove the two filter element to clean it out properly . not a game breaker but a nuisance . +692 Vacuum NEU 3 I have have my Hoover PowerMax Deluxe for about 10 year and be quite pleased with its performance on bare floor and we 1 or 2 area rug . around the time we move into we new house , the vacuum 's plastic housing crack . I be go to have it replace , but decide on a new vacuum because we new house have several carpet room . the Eureka 4870mz do a fabulous job on the carpet , even though they do not have the same pile-you can adjust for this on the machine . the carpet with the longer pile actually feel soft and new after the first use , and I could really hear how much dirt be be remove -lrb- compare with my old machine -rrb- . the power paw attachment also do a great job remove pet hair from furniture -lrb- we have 2 cat and a dog-a shed machine black lab -rrb- . I have 2 issue with this unit : 1 -rrb- this vacuum do also work very well on bare floor , but be difficult to maneuver unless the space be clean be expansive and square . when I have to work around table basis , chair , I either need another attachment or I need to stop and move everything . also , the vacuum will not fit under the sofa like my old vacuum , so that area can not get clean every time I vacuum . 2 -rrb- it be not easy to use on the stair , whether carpet or wood . the unit be heavy-not a bad thing , as something this powerful would need some weight-but not easy for someone in late pregnancy , or I would imagine , someone elderly to carry . there be a additional piece to extend the hose , but it be not enough to make it up the stair without need to stop and carry the unit halfway up or down the stair . so , what this vacuum do , it do well and I be glad we buy it . I will , however , be pay to fix my old standby Hoover to use where the the Eureka fall short , instead of fix it to sell . it be for this reason that I only give 3 star . it would have receive 4 star if base on carpet cleaning alone , but because it be advertise as bare floor and carpet , I can not give more than 3 . nobody should need to own 2 vacuum . +942 Vacuum POS 4 I really like this vacuum but take off 1 star because -lrb- a -rrb- technologically , it be not really anything new and -lrb- b -rrb- even as easy as it be , I hate have to worry about multiple filter . this vacuum perform very well . although slightly bulky , it maneuver easily around tight space . even when full of rabbit hair , it still suck up more dirt and do not seem to lose suction . cleanup take less than 5 minute , 10 max if you be a neat freak . I recommend rinse the sponge-like ring filter after every use and leave it around to dry around the handle . that way you do not have to leave it out and wait for it to dry . just put the vacuum away and the next time you need to vacuum , put the filter back on and lock the canister in place . take only a minute . if I have to say anything bad it would be about the tube you put you attachment on . it be short and do not stretch very far . the vacuum topple over a few time when I use it . not a big deal if you use 1 hand to hold part of the tube -lrb- near vacuum -rrb- and another -lrb- on the attachment end handle -rrb- to stretch it out and clean . it take a little bit get use to . all in all , I be happy with my decision . this be replace my old canister vacuum which I love but crap out on I after year and year of use . I be not a big fan of bag-less vacuum but this one may make I one . +412 Vacuum POS 5 this machine replace a much older eureka with the Beater Bar Brush from the 60,2 \/ 70 's . . three 20 by 20 room and they look clean ... I pull out 1\/3 bag of dust ... wow ... double wow ... 12 amp and the light kind of dim but this baby suck ... buy it but have you husband run it ... not for weak lady ... this machine have be design to clean deep and remove that 80 pound of dust a house generate each year ... you want result you need hardware and this machine have it ... big feature be the Wand to clean the corner and edge of carpet ... the hepa Filter be just the best ... no stink from last year dust and dirt ... this machine be a real value ... buy buy BUY it now ... ... ... ... ... ... ... +315 Vacuum POS 5 finally a small , lightweight cordless vac that actually work and do not cost $ 200 + ! I buy it for daily kitty litter cleanup and dust bunny removal . Works great for both task . I previously own a Shark cordless , which not only do not pick up the cat litter but blow it around the room . I do not have issue with the battery life . if you need to use a small vacuum for more than 10 min on a regular basis , then you will have to buy a heavier , more expensive or corded model . +360 Vacuum POS 5 girlfriend and I decide to replace a old hoover bag vacuum with this one . we go through all of we option include the dyson and other more expensive model . after read all of the positive review on this vacuum we decide why not give it a try and save some cash . glad we do because this vacuum suck ! ok it actually be completely rock , and we be 100 % happy with we vacuum and amazon fast delivery and no sale tax . +146 Vacuum POS 5 this sweeper be easy to use out of the box ! the 18v power be a marked improvement over previous compete unit . unit hold charge for a reasonbly long time , allow a useful work time . excellent on hard floor , very good for `` in-between '' cleaning of short nap carpet . clean of the filter\/dirt trap mechanism be quite easy . not difficult to open and empty , or wash the filter . be innitially hesitant to wash filter , but when we do , it come out clean , and dry quickly . we definitely have cleaner floor , more frequent touch up . +624 Vacuum POS 5 I love use these bag with in my Hoover vaccum cleaner . I have always prefer vaccum cleaner that require the vaccum bag . these be thick and good at retain the dirt and dust . +273 Vacuum NEG 1 we get this vacuum because it have great review , and when we see the Amazon price it be a do deal . I like to vacuum and could not wait to use it . it be easy to put together . it be very light , so light it feel cheep . the cord be very short so you have to change outlet often . to clean the filter you have to put you hand up inside it and dust fly 's everywhere , and it be just gross . when I use it I could not even get it to pick up grass that have be track in . when you try to use the hose , everything fly 's out the back end all over the place . we think maybe it be just that unit , so we return it to Amazon -lrb- super easy -rrb- . they send we a new one right away . and same thing , nothing get suck up unless you have the time to go over each spot a dozen time . it be junk ! +596 Vacuum NEG 2 this be a replacement for a slightly different , older model Dirt Devil that last for year & give I good service . the model I now have be purchase in May 2010 and have not be use much . I use it very infrequently , mostly on my computer . I have a problem with this newer , improve model . when I press the `` on '' button it come on strongly , but within a few seconds lose power so much that it will not vacuum dust up . but , if I press the `` on '' button harder , or shift the point of maximum pressure to a slightly different place on the `` on '' button , the power get stronger , but then quickly subside to a low level . the result be that it be frustrating and essentially I can not usefully vacuum with it . it drive I nut as I try different way of press on the `` on '' button in a attempt to vacuum something up , and it just want to run in a very low power way that can not vacuum even dust up . I be guess that the battery be not the problem , but rather the problem be something to do with the `` on '' switch . I do not know . I send a email to the Dirt Devil people . if they take care of this problem I 'll post that info . otherwise ... maybe I just get a lemon ? +505 Vacuum NEU 3 I be look for a vacuum cleaner to sweep my hardwood floor . after read the review for the Black & Decker , I think this would be perfect . I be a little disappointed and would only give it a average rating . +71 Vacuum POS 5 I have have 3 vacuum in 40 year . always a Eureka boss . none have ever break down . I be just a neatnick and want a change , my old Boss will be station in the garage for car and truck cleaning . this be the best one yet ! love the easy use of the bare floor set with the roller shut off . and the extra hose for the attachment be a welcome idea . as soon as I turn it on I could tell it be REALLY get up all the sand and dog hair in this Florida house . it be a lot heavier than I have have before but it be very well build . a good price . +805 Vacuum NEG 2 I have have this vacuum just over a year and I be ready to trade it in ! hate have to change the belt and the bag . and the hose be not work . it over heat and shut off . I have let it cool down to finish my vacuuming . when it work , it work great but I be very disappointed at how much money I spend on this vacuum . I wish now I would spend my money on the Dyson . do not waste you money ! +857 Vacuum NEU 3 good suction on either carpet or bare floor but it be very loud . also , it be impractical to fold\/unfold to connect to the power base . +39 Vacuum NEG 2 this vacuum be only good for very small job such as clean the keyboard or car console . it do not have much suction strength , thus if use for sl . larger job it will have trouble pick up most thing . the handset do not weigh very much -lrb- which be great while use it -rrb- but become a problem on the charger as it be not heavy enough to stay in contact to continue charge . I have to use a large rubber band around the unit to keep the charge probe in contact . -rrb- +808 Vacuum NEG 2 get one of these about two year ago due to rave in Consumer Reports . it be heavy , and do not do a good job on carpet . the belt that drive the beater\/roller\/brush seem to slip whenever the brush encounter carpet , even at the light setting . thus the brush do not rotate and nothing much get suck up . have replace belt and the adjuster , but nothing help . it be pretty heavy for stair and we cleaning lady just bring she own vacuum , but not sure what kind it be . she do not like ours and she be a pro . it do have a long cord and do not spray dust around due to the filter on the exhaust , but those be minor if the thing do not pick up the dirt . I think it have some good quality , but the execution be poor . would not get another nor recommend to anyone else . the Hoover UH310010COM have higher rating and lot of folk seem to think it be a much better machine . I plan to try that one out soon . +77 Vacuum POS 5 I have only have this vacuum for about a month . it have great suction and a power tool that really work well . I opt for this model because of the bagged feature and the hand hold power tool -lrb- replace a Bissel bagless with a worthless handheld power tool -rrb- . have be happy with Eureka vac in the past ; time will tell whether this one will hold up and live up to my expectation . +5 Vacuum NEU 3 I agree with some of the other review about the product be make cheap . I think it do a great job on my carpet , but in just a few month , the foot pedal start pop off everytime I use it . without the foot pedal , the vacuum will not stay upright without fall over . I think this could be a great product with some minor change in the design , but I would be hesitant to buy this again . I have only have mine a year , and I be already look to buy a new vacuum . +475 Vacuum POS 5 I have 2 child under the age of 3 and this vacuum be my best friend ! I use it virtually every day under the kitchen table and high chair . I use it to vanquish the crummy dirt that gather in corner on the floor . I use it occasionally to clean up destroy Goldfish on the couch and floor . the extendable , flexible hose be super easy to use and so helpful in reach difficult area . it could not be easier to empty . it have lot of good sucking pressure . it be only limit in 3 way : the battery life only last for about 10 minute of continual cleaning time , it be pretty loud and at first freak out my kid -lrb- but now big Girl affectionately call it `` little vacuum '' and want I to get she toe with it -rrb- , and it have a fairly narrow suction diameter . all in all , it be a bargain at $ 60 and I highly recommend it for home use with child ! +45 Vacuum POS 5 I be look to replace a very old vacuum and do not want to spend a ton of money . a friend of mine recommend this Bissel vacuum , so I buy it and be very happy with it . besides be affordable , it be get good suction , be not too heavy . the best part be the removable canister and washable filter . you get to see everything you suck up and easily just dump it all out when the canister be full . and the filter be easy to wash and pop back in . +629 Vacuum POS 5 the vacuum work great for the $ $ $ . we have a dyson vacuum for the last 5 year and it be not pick up pet hair or litter anymore . the Bissell pick up the litter in the carpet great . it look like it pick up all the hair from the carpet too , it be definitely pick up what we old vac could not . it pick up hair on we wood floor better than the dyson ever do . overall very happy with the product especially consider how cheap it be . +128 Vacuum POS 4 I be a little skeptical to purchase this at first because of the big price difference from the Bosch bag . I be happy to report these bag work great ! +134 Vacuum NEG 1 I wish I have buy a non battery op small vac . run 5 - 7 minute Enough time to ??? do nothing +538 Vacuum POS 5 be look for a good quality vaccum for the new car . trust this brand since I have a few of they other product . this really be a great buy and good quality vaccum , pick up just about everything , be relatively quiet and nicely compact . would recommend to everyone . +821 Vacuum POS 5 I buy the s7210 to replace my Miele cannister vac . we move to a home with a mix of hardwood , pile and berber carpet . my beloved Miele cannister be just not quite up for the job . I be on my way to buy a Dyson , when I happen into a local Vac N sew store . I be amaze that I could buy a brand new Miele upright with all the feature I truly want for less than a Dyson . it be a do deal . I have not regret this purchase for one second ! I honestly have no complaint about this Miele upright . I have persian rug on top of Berber and I can quickly switch the Miele to less suction and clean the Persian rug , then increase it back up for the Berber . it be effortless . in a single `` vacuum session '' , I clean all the rug , the baseboard , horizontal blind , hardwood floor , furniture , window sill and electronics , not to mention stair and corner of room -lrb- no cob web be safe from my Miele ! -rrb- I save so much time and my house be cleaner than it have ever be . do not get I wrong , I love my cannister , but this upright do everything I need it to do perfectly everytime . it be literally the BMW of vacuum cleaner . my 7 year old cannister be sell to a young family for $ 150 . this vac will hold some actual resale value compare to most other vac . something to consider if you want to upgrade to a different model Miele . +339 Vacuum NEG 2 the tip of the philip screw be break off before it be package in celophane and seal . the crevice tool be not include and neither be the extension tool . vacuum have good suction . it be lightweight . I find the handle uncomfortable to hold and the standing height of the machine uncomfortably short . I be 5 ' 5 '' so not sure how someone taller would use . I have some arthritis in my hand which be usually not a problem in perform task . however this handle left my hand hurt after very brief use . overall I be disappointed give the many review praise machine and think the quality lower than my previous hoover . return item and will not purchase brand again . +757 Vacuum NEU 3 Wish I would have know how clumsy this machine be to use . the suction be great -lrb- actually lift my 7 x 11 foot rug off the floor -rrb- , BUT be hard to get around , under and beside furniture that you can not move . if you have wide open space , and lot of carpeted floor this machine be for you , but if you have smaller space this beast will wear you down . +364 Vacuum POS 4 I have two kid , 2 large dog and live in a sandy area . it be a never end job keep up with cleaning dog hair and sand on my floor . the Eureka Boss Smart-Vacuum do a great job . I own two , one for the upper level and one for the lower level of my house . I have own many vacuum cleaner and none hold a candle to this model . I will not purchase any other vacuum cleaner . the only reason I give it 4 star be due to its weight , unit be a bit heavy , but woth the great job it do : -rrb- +539 Vacuum POS 5 we have a older model for we country home and love it . we have lot of pet and it be very sandy and dusty out here . it be quick and easy to thoroughly clean the floor , furniture , ceiling fan , shelf . I get this one for we beach house . both house be mainley tiled or laminate floor . the attachment allow for get into tight space around shelf and cabinet where fur ball like to collect . we recommend it to lot of friend . +833 Vacuum POS 5 this be the second vacuum I have buy . that should say how much I like these vacuum . very impressive pick up power for a portable . plenty of juice for small accident and to pick up after the dog . bought second one for the camper . unless you get a dud , I do not see why anyone would not be happy with this vac . +482 Vacuum NEU 3 the thing be heavy but do a fantastic job as a vacuum cleaner . the extendable hose have so much suction that it want to withdraw when you use the attachment . BUT it flat work . +935 Vacuum POS 5 this work great . I be impressed that it be not very loud and even pull itself across the carpet . we carpet look new every time we use it . the bag seem to last fairly well and the filter do not put off any odor . I would not recommend this for hard-wood because there be not a way to turn off the super powerful brush which would scatter dirt . I suppose pay attention to the fact that they call it a `` CARPET '' pro rather than a floor pro should make that obvious ... +726 Vacuum POS 5 I love this vacuum . it be not heavy and very easy to use . I really like the bagless , very easy to take off and clean . it also clean both on rug and hard service . the price be excellent , delivery be fast and efficient +983 Vacuum NEG 2 suck up dirt on carpet fairly well . no so on floor . scatter dirt everywhere . hardly much suction on the attachment at all . +94 Vacuum POS 4 this vacuum cleaner be very powerful . it pull out stuff we other sweeper have leave in the carpet . on the downside , very noisy . also to pull the sweeper backwards on a high pile carpet , you must learn to lift up the front roller to prevent the brush from touch the carpet or it become very difficult to use . +170 Vacuum NEG 1 it be great for a month or so but the battery keep get weaker and weaker . I throw it away . one star for longevity failure . +232 Vacuum POS 5 after careful review of all the option for a backpack vacuum , I choose this one . first , the review be great . I think the spec seem right for I , and the Hoover brand be a good one . I have replace a thirty year old , but still work , hold in you hand variety . I be older now and have difficulty with my hand . I place the order right in the midst of the holiday rush . I receive confirmation of the order and then the notice of shipping . it get here in three day . the day it arrive , I have just be home from have knee scope surgery for a few hour . I be sit packed in ice , but I have to try it out . I read the direction , I sit it on the counter and back into the strap . after secure the waist strap , I plug it in at a socket that I think would not have to be move . I be right . I have 1750 square foot on one level . with the 50 foot cord , I be able to get around my entire house . the suction be very powerful . I have puff of dog hair around most of the time and they come rush into the hose from a foot away . the wand be fabulous on the baseboard and up in the corner on the ceiling . the rug attachment work amazingly well on my area rug and small throw rug . best of all be the great job on the hard wood floor with the very same attachment . I have recommend this product already to a friend and she feel the same way about it . hip , hip , way to go ! Hoover Commercial Shoulder Backpack Vacuum Cleaner +234 Vacuum POS 5 this product really do the job . good vacuum and versitile as far as rug type and floor to vacuum . look to be durable and be easy to handle . +520 Vacuum POS 5 I research for about a month before buy this vacuum . I be look for a vacuum with a hepa filter system and that be not bagless . I consider buy a ORECK but really want to handheld attachment . I decide to buy this eureka 4870mz vacuum after read all the good review about it . I just get it today and could not wait to try it out . I have to do some minor assembly but nothing difficult . the people who be write about the hose not stay on and no place to put the power paw attachment must not have read the `` quick start '' instruction when they pull it out of the box . it be pretty simple to put together and no problem with the hose fall off and the power paw come with a clear plastic attachment that click into the handle of the vacuum . I have to tell you that I like this vacuum right away . I love love the hand attachment with the brush ! unbelievable ... it make quick work of clean a chair that my cat love and constant cover with thick gray hair . this would normally take I several minute to clean with my Dyson 's attachment . the power be excellent and it definitely make my carpet pile look more plush again . you want to make sure you adjust the carpet level to the right height . it be easier to do this when the vacuum be run . it have only be a day but so far I be really glad I buy this vacuum . it be a good value for the price . yes the plastic part feel a little cheap but what do you want for $ 150 !! +191 Vacuum NEG 1 I love cordless vacuum cleaner -- very convenient . I like Black & Decker , BUT -- this be the 1952 FIAT \/ RENAULT of cordless vacuum cleaner . do it work ? yes , barely & at what trouble . if the designer bother to give this to they wife for a try-out before production , they would all be divorce . whoever design this contraption should have he pay firmly fix to the sale of this sow . whoever approve this & the tooling cost have better start look for a new career . get a enemy ? give they one for a gift , or better yet , send the vacuum to the Taliban - they 'll surrender after the 1st use ! positive : 1 . good charge shoe . 2 . great battery power -lrb- and noise -rrb- but minimum suction . 3 . compact folding for storage -lrb- motor home -rrb- . -- that be it . negative : 1 . very uncomfortable handle - bad design \/ angle . 2 . weigh a ton because all the weight be 1\/2 way up , include the motor , so it constantly pull down on you forearm & shoulder instead of be down on the head at the floor where you would barely feel it . 3 . this also cause the head to not have enough weight to hold the brush in proper contact for maximum performance on any carpet or rug . 4 . this also make the head hard \/ awkward to control . 5 . very difficult to glide & have no tilt \/ steer action - sub-miniature wheel be of no use on carpet . 6 . have a crazy back of head ` foot ' extension that get catch on everything when you pull the vacuum back & forth & flip the head up ! 7 . empty the vacuum be mind-boggling , one slight slip try to hold this monster & it be all on the floor or all you filter \/ cover part be in the garbage . 8 . return be non-existent . they can not sell they so they do not want they either . the cure : HOOVER platinum linx -- the Rolls-Royce ` State-of-the-Art ' of the genre . you 'll fall down & thank God . cost more BUT you get more than you money 's worth , instead of a insult . +358 Vacuum POS 4 this vacuum work good , reach even back to the trunk -lrb- Corolla -rrb- and get in the tight spot that the pay car vacuum place can not . +26 Vacuum NEG 2 I have have this vacuum for over a year . it have be reliable , versatile -lrb- love that you can quickly change from floor to hose cleaning ... great for detail baseboard while vacuum large area -rrb- and replacement bag be easy to find . I be look for a replacement filter -lrb- hepa -rrb- now , and see it be ~ $ 5 on Amazon . it have not lose a day of work ; suction have stay strong from its first day . here 's why I give it two star : 1 . it be one of the heaviest vacuum I have ever have to haul around . 2 . for the weight , I would prefer to have a self-propelled feature , but even the pull-back -lrb- and shift to a new spot on the carpet -rrb- take some muscle . I be a healthy 60 year old , and immediately feel the difference and really dislike it . 3 . the hose for point suction be too short . it be nice and wide , so it can pick up a lot at a time -lrb- great for cereal spill , sand , etc -rrb- but I can not use it to reach anything higher than about 36 '' above the floor -lrb- use the include tube extender -rrb- before the vacuum tip over . since the tube extender be straight , it be not possible to use attachment easily on say , couch & chair seat . absolutely no use for cobweb in floor lamp , or ceiling corner , if you use a vacuum for those detail . I have no idea why anyone would choose this for clean stair ... do not you have to clean half way , then reposition the whole vacuum to mid-stair to get the rest ? it be a real monster in weight and bulk to have to lift upstairs ; just the idea make I shiver ... 4 . the plastic latch hold the cover in front of the bag be not do it be job . when that come apart , suction be lose . right now , I can fiddle with it and get it back into place , but it be essential for it to work to get a good suction . that this be go be actually prepare I that I 'll need a new vacuum soon . if you get a good deal on this vacuum -lrb- I get it at 50 % off -rrb- and you be young , strong and do not mind muscle this baby around , you 'll enjoy the good clean it will give you . my experience be not that good that I would buy this again ; also I would not recommend this to a friend . +85 Vacuum POS 5 we get this Black & Decker compact vacuum cleaner more than a month ago and have be very happy with the quality , construction and performance of this little guy . First of all , it come package in a reusable box with a handle . the unit , the attachment and the little attachment holder that snap on to the unit so you can carry you attachment around the house with you all fit in the box for neat storage . as other reviewer say , this cordless vac must be recharge for about 20 hour after use . the charge last long enough to do those little cleanup chore around the house : vacuum up seed around the bird cage -lrb- use the round rubber attachment for floor -rrb- , clean the baseboard -lrb- there be a neat brush edger for that -rrb- , get into the crevice in the couch -lrb- a four foot hose help -rrb- and vacuum the stair . it be light and easy to carry -- I hate have to haul out the big vacuum for every little thing . the vac be bagless and easy to clean : just open the plastic door on the side and dump or brush out the accumulate dust and debris . I have have all sort of cordless vac and this be the best one yet . +281 Vacuum POS 5 this be quite handy little vac , and with the extendable hose , it will reach most any where . yes the battery run down at about 6 minute , but if I have a big job , I use my regular vac . it be as loud as my regular vac . I recommend this . +23 Vacuum POS 5 wow - my LITTLE LEO -lrb- CAT -rrb- MUST be carry litter between he toe nuckes\/nails - really great vaccum . what a deal for 80 .00 buck - love love love !!!!!!!!!!! +932 Vacuum POS 5 I love this vacuum . it be light and comfortable . the suction be strong and work well on all surface . the head maneuver easily . the rear , off the floor exhaust keep dust from blow around . the see-thru lid be great and bag be easy to change . this thing pick up dog hair cling to rug . we use it in the house and for the car . ok , the long cord , with no storage be not great , but I do not care . if the cord be more `` limp '' it would be easier to coil . +214 Vacuum POS 5 I love this VACUUM !!!!! if loving this vacuum be wrong I do not wanna be right , it be truly the Muhammed Ali of Vacuums cause its the Greatest , for HARDWOODS ONLY , I only have hardwood throughout my house and tile so for I its a snap , anyone with mostly hardwood know that hardwood flooring be magnet for dust and debris , this little guy be like one bad mamma jamma !! also when I clean my kitchen drawer and cushion in my furniture it suck all that crap out ! it have a long cord that in never have to unplug then plug in again in another room , completely get under everything like furniture ! I love thing that make my life easier and be cool , this totally work in my application of my life , for a all hardwood and tile floor guy , I can not comment on this vacuum with rug ! I call it my ghost dust buster , cause every time I put it on I think of ghostbuster , cause you look like it , I hope this review help ! +318 Vacuum POS 5 ok , so I want a powerful vacuum cleaner for my home that would be easy to maneuver , versatile , and lightweight . that be when I decide to conduct my own unconventional research into the best vacuum cleaner out there that would meet all of my expectation . I contact a array of janitorial and housecleaning service to hear they recommendation . this commercial Hoover backpack model be mention time and time again and I just could not resist buy it . I have use it a handful of time and let I tell you , it be a winner ! here 's why : 1 . it be so lightweight -lrb- 9.2 lb . -rrb- that even a frail person would have virtually no problem carry this on they back . 2 . it be very powerful ! 3 . the extra long , almost 50 ' cord allow I to plug it into a centralized electrical outlet on each floor and go from room to room without switch outlet . a real timesaver ! 4 . the floor attachment on this particular model have a very low profile and easily glide under furniture that be previously hard to reach . 5 . you can easily adjust the amount of suction when vacuum area rug so that they be not swallow up by the powerful motor . 6 . it use the hepa system . 7 . you have the option of use the cloth dust-catcher bag that come with it or disposable bag . for personal reason , I like have both of these option available to I . 8 . vacuum flight of stair be a breeze . no more awkward lifting of heavy vacuum cleaner from one step to another , which I have find to be potentially dangerous . I simply can not imagine myself ever go back to use heavy , bulky , roll canister or upright model . I be glad I listen to the commercial and residential cleaning service that I defer to for recommendation ! +92 Vacuum POS 5 deliver on time , in excellent condition . set-up be a breeze , and although I see multiple review state the cord be not long enough , the cord seem to be what I need for my room , so no complaint there ! +497 Vacuum POS 4 I just get my vacuum and I really like it . I think it be quiet compare to my old Hoover and the suction be really great . it pull the carpet up in the well-worn place so it be all plush look again ! it be very easy to push . I hate vacuum but I actually have fun . the only reason I give this 4 star instead of 5 star be because the foot pedal to release the handle be really hard to push . it sound like it be crack everytime . also , the area to wrap\/store the electric cord be a bit unhandy . I have only use it for the first time tonight , but so far , so good . +377 Vacuum POS 5 well I do not have technical knowledge about vacuum , spec and all that , but as the owner of a long-haired white german shepherd , I know a thing or two about hair and dust . I get the s7210 vacuum on this site several month ago , and it be the bomb . my last vacuum be a $ 600 dollar Dyson Animal -lrb- special for pet and allergy -rrb- and the Miele leave the Dyson in the dust . I have also own Oreck , and it be ok but I think it be so overpriced and overhyped . my housekeeper agree that this be better than anything she be ever use , so that be the view from a woman who know . pro : solid construction , include the cord . I always resist bag , but with the prevalence of dust in this town , the canister of the Dyson create a disgusting mess every time I empty it . the bag just work better , in my opinion , and they hold quite a bit . and of course it use a hepa filter -lrb- but you have to buy the filter separately . it be not much , but I forget what it cost . -rrb- the profile of the Miele be lower than the Dyson 's , make it easier to vacuum under couch and low-sitting chair . the vacuum swivel -lrb- Dyson do not -rrb- and I can not believe how much easier it be to use with this feature . the bag and filter be really easy to change -lrb- and the filter be washable -rrb- . the power be adjustable -lrb- high , low , medium etc -rrb- whereas the Dyson literally ruin rug because it suck so hard on the fiber . -lrb- and I do not notice greater cleaning with the Dyson , just ruin area rug . -rrb- in addition to a adjustable height dial , there be a simple flip switch when clean `` carpet '' or `` floor . '' this and the power switch be position on the front of the handle , so there be no root around for the power switch . the height dial be just below those switch , so it be all very practical to use . all in all Miele work great , and if you have to do house chore , it be actually kind of fun to use . oh , and the color be really pretty -lrb- not that this be important . -rrb- neutral : it be a little heavy , probably due to solid construction , but because I be small I do not love carry it the the second floor . this may not matter to other , and it do not prevent I carry it ; I feel the same way about the Dyson . con : you have to buy bag -lrb- as say , they hold alot though -rrb- , and I be not in love with the cord windup . sometimes I want to cover a small area -lrb- like the den where the dog hang out -rrb- . it be not practical to unwind and use only part of the cord because it keep unwinding\/falling from the cord holder so you end up have to unwind then rewind the whole -lrb- pretty log -rrb- cord . not a big deal , I would just rather not have to go through that whole routine every time . finally , it be not cheap . however , in my experience cheap vacuum do not last or work as well as some higher dollar model . and I have my pricy Dyson just two year before it stop work well consistently , plus I be sick of deal with the nasty canister cleaning . a model as expensive as that Dyson should not need to be replace after 2 year . I be single , plus the dog , so it be not as though it be use constantly or have heavy workout . the Miele seem worth the price tag as compare to both low and high dollar competitor . though it be too soon to evaluate the lasting power of the Miele , in every other respect it be better than anything I have ever have . Hope this help , and happy cleaning ! +221 Vacuum POS 4 when my Eureka Maxima go up in smoke one day , I decide to try a comparably-priced and weighting replacement of a different brand . review suggest this might be the right one . one thing I like be that , unlike nearly all Eureka model , the exhaust air come out the side rather than blow thing around in front of you path . it be very easy to assemble , with one screw secure the upper to the lower portion , then put the accessory in place . it be not quite as easy to push around my thick carpet as my Maxima , which actually pull itself along with its brush roller , but be easy to push on my thin carpet . it appear to pick up about the same amount of dust as my Maxima , perhaps with more trip , as it be not quite as wide . the main dust cup be not nearly as large as the huge one on the Maxima . this be not a problem for I , as I only have a small area to cover . however , this may be a problem if you have a huge area to cover , heavy traffic and vacuum it infrequently . unlike the single large washable hepa filter on the Maxima , which also serve as a baffle , you have a small terminal nonwashable hepa filter , after the air flow go through a washable fluted filter surround by a foam rubber filter . the latter normally catch nearly all the fine dust not deposit in the dust bin above , hence be often the only filter require cleaning . to avoid make a mess in the house and sink , I take the vacuum to the porch or patio at cleaning time , dump the dust in a small plastic bag and submerge the 2 plastic dust bin in a large bucket , lightly brushing they side . often , I do not bother wash the fluted filter . however , often I brush the submerge detachable `` helix '' above the dust bin , which serve as a baffle . repeat with a rinse bucket . Make sure to squeeze all the dust out of the foam filter ; otherwise dust from the inside will migrate upward during dry and form a impenetrable crust . during dry , I squeeze the foam filter hard to make sure the inner part be dry . I wipe up any dust that have fall from the top and side of the inner chamber with a damp paper or cloth and similarly wipe off any still adhering dust on the bin . finally , if necessary , I clean the tiny pre-motor filter below the 2 main pre-motor filter , which catch fall dust after the 2 bin be remove . +337 Vacuum POS 4 I have a Hoover Portapower before that last 20 year and I love it , so I want to purchase another one again . the old one still work but the hose break -lrb- run over by car -rrb- and the bag be break . I do like the new vacuum . it have good suction and lot of attachment and a nice long cord . the only thing I do not like be that the hose be too short , and everytime I vac the whole canister move and hit I in the leg . so , I usually just hold it in my hand , or it have a shoulder strap . pick up pet hair and work well on hardwood floor and be very light . +733 Vacuum POS 4 the only improvement I would ask for be for it to work better on flat surface such as wood floor . the attachment be great and easily accessible . Works as expect on carpet and I like the transparent collection area so I can see how well it be clean . +33 Vacuum POS 4 after try different vacuum cleaner , I definitely like this one . nothing extraordinary but it do a very good job , good suction and much better than other v. cleaner in the same price range or even more expensive . only con ... heavy . +196 Vacuum POS 5 my boyfriend specifically request this as a birthday gift this year and he be be absolutely loving it ! it come with a nice bag to store it in and it be small enough to store in the trunk of you car if you want . +353 Vacuum NEU 3 just get my new mini-van , and with friend , kid etc , my back seat look like a bombardment of crumb , little here & alot there . this b&d; auto-vac do the work . its basically design for car seat and not for carpet . for bigger job you 'll need the shop-vac for that . so ! if car seat be a haven for crumb , this be auto-vac just perfect way , to do the little job in quick way , with out bring out the shop-vac and extension cord . +62 Vacuum POS 4 I have always be satisfy with black and Decker product . with the pivoting vac I be more than satisfied . +723 Vacuum NEG 2 when I buy it , it work fine . but I use this a total of just about 10-12 time when the belt break and the vacuum stop work . I go and order the belt -lrb- http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/b00006iv1l\/ref=oss_product -rrb- and now it work fine . pro : - do a decent job - not too noisy con : - belt should ` nt break that easily - no retractable power cord all in all , I be not too dissatisfied with my cleaner - I would expect it to last for year and give satisfactory service . Update : the second time I use it with the replacement belt , the belt break , and I have to replace it again . I think there be something flaw if the motor make the belt break so often . for now I be resign to replace the belt every other time I use this vacuum - quite frustrating . +828 Vacuum POS 5 I have just purchase the most popular brand of these hand vac a year ago and it turn out to be rather worthless . it may pick up a crumb but that be about it . this be just what I have want for year . my need be mostly for get dog hair off the furniture and not have to drag out the big vac . this be fantastic and come with a specific pet hair tool . I have a pom so there be a hair issue daily . it also have nozzle\/brush and Crevice tool . the instruction tell you to charge for 21 hour the first time and that it may take up to 5 time of 21hr charge and complete dispensing of the power for it to reach it be full charge hold time . I have do this 3 time and each time run it 20 min and it be still not totally do ... but I be . LOL . I love the design and it be easy to hold and the tool be on board , but the holder can be remove when in use . it have a 2 year warranty which be wonderful . it be good look also and take up little space . you can grap it quickly and clean up a spill . very each to empty the canaster and it will not turn on if you do not have it close correct which be a good safety feature . the 4 foot flexable hose be great for reach and clean blind . you just can not do all these thing with the old fashion buster kind of vac . if there be 10 star this item would get it from I . just make sure you do the 21hr charge and do not give up on it until you have do it 5 time . I be satisfy at 3 but if I find it not to hold after 5 or go down I 'll come back and let you know . +391 Vacuum NEG 2 you just have to learn to love this vacuum . here be the way I break it down : pro : light weight . strong battery . good suction . two switch for floors\/carpet -- do a good job on both , include pet hair . fit into charger flawlessly with zero fumble . solid feel . use this to replace my frequent purchase of a Shark vacuum . I tolerate poor battery life , and fall-apart construction , and non-existent customer service in the Shark . con : it will not stand up alone out of the charger . empty the dirt cup be awkward ... you have to balance the center round part of vacuum over trash and `` dig it out . '' -lrb- I use a wood paint stirrer -rrb- you have to fold up the vacuum with the head up to place in charger . still , I would buy one again in a flash . the pro far outweigh the con ! Addendum : September 11 , 2009 shortly after post the above positive review , I go to use the vacuum and it be completely dead . Charger not work , but vacuum also dead when there should have be charge leave . I call B & D , which to they credit have english-speaking customer service located in this country . they send I a new charger cord -lrb- in a four foot box !?? -rrb- but the vacuum be still dead . I have be tell they would replace the vacuum if charger do not work . well , after MUCH argument and I push back ... ask for supervisor , etc. , now they say they will replace it but I have to take it to service center . this episode be less than 2 month after I buy it . after this , I would say you can find a better vacuum . I would probably buy Shark -lrb- unless there be a better one -rrb- and consider it disposable . Addendum : December 2009 . follow-up on service problem . B & D require that I return the vacuum to they . they do not pay for return shipping . this be very heavy and would be quite expensive to ship . I be able to locate a authorized center but have to drive about 45 minute there . I live near a fairly large city . B & D tell I the service center would mail the new vacuum to I . of course it would have cost this small business a lot to ship . evident as they personally deliver it . now that I have the new vacuum it do work well . it do not replace my Dyson , but be good for quick clean-up . but consider this a disposable vacuum , without warranty . also , the more I use it the more I notice that gunk get around the small pivot wheel cause problem . I have to cut the gunk and wedge it out with pliers . vacuum pretty good . customer Service deplorable . down-rate the vacuum because of that . would I purchase this again ? maybe . but I would absolutely try for Walmart and save the receipt for entire warranty period . +393 Vacuum POS 4 this machine work great ! it easily fold up for storage and work well on both rug and floor . Cleaning be also simple , just pull out the filter and you be do . +640 Vacuum NEG 2 I have another black and Decker small vac and love it , I leave it in another home I have and when return here try to buy another like it . no luck . so purchase this cordless one , and I be disappoint in the product , it do not seem to have the suction of the cord one and cost a little more . so would not advise purchase this to do all around small job . +709 Vacuum POS 5 I get tire of drag around my wife 's old cannister vaccuum cleaner so I purchase this backpack one . it have very strong suction and pickup and by wear it on my back it be easy to get around to vaccuum the entire house . unlike before . I love it and the price be great . +428 Vacuum NEG 2 this thing do not do its job . just about a year old and it have stop pick up hair . instead , it leave little roll up ball of hair everywhere that you have to go back and scoop up after you be do `` cleaning '' . for $ 80 , I would rather invest in something that will last longer and actually do what I buy it for . +27 Vacuum POS 4 love this vacuum . I also own it be predecessor and due to no fault of its own , I need a replacement . Eureka have prove themselves again . the suction on this thing be unbelievable . I love the spin brush that whip the carpet as I vacuum . it feel new again under my foot as I vacuum . the box say it be 60 % more powerful than the Dyson but at half the price . the first part I believe , the second be a fact . I have want a Dyson but I despise bagless vac and I do not want to spend that much $ $ . we do not have pet hair we need to stay on top of , so I be more than please with this purchase . +125 Vacuum POS 5 I buy this vac last week . I charge it up a couple of time and use it to pick up cat litter , cat hair off a rug\/furniture , people hair , etc. . it work great . it make vacuum fun . I like how the caddy be attach to the vacuum and carry the tool with it . +865 Vacuum POS 4 I purchase my first Boss vacuum over three year ago . I have not have any problem with it . I purchase my second Boss vacuum because I want a new one . I give the first one to my nephew . both vacuum pick the allergen and other stuff that get embed in the carpet . I have use it on bare floor as well as thick carpet . if you want a quiet vacuum , this be not for you . I want a vacuum that help with the environment . this device do that because it use micro filtration bag and hepa filter . I use the accessory to clean up around area that I can not get the vacuum in . if you need to do stair , I would recommend a hand hold vacuum . if you have the strength to carry this unit up and down stair , it will do the job . +127 Vacuum POS 5 I read the negative review for the vacuum and almost do not buy it , but I be glad I do . it work great and and will stay power up long enough to complete any job that I begin -- I would say about 10 minute . but that be what most cordless handheld vac do . the attachment be good to clean with and be handy at all time . I use this vac to clean one to two different room each day and have never have a problem . my house stay much cleaner and I have three cat to clean up after ! I keep it on charge when not in use and highly recommend this vac to use as it be design to be use which be not as a full-size vacuum . +633 Vacuum POS 5 I recently purchase this vac for touchup between regular cleaning , and be very pleased with it . with three cat in the house , we main problem be cat hair . this vac do a wonderful job on the area rug with the power brush engage , and on the bare floor with just the suction . I can do the entire downstairs of about 1300 sq. ft. before the charge show any sign at all of diminish . there be no bag and it be very easy to empty and clean the dirt catcher . the fact that there be no cord to deal with make it very convenient . it be more expensive than most vac of this type but be well worth it , and I would recommend it to anyone . +427 Vacuum POS 5 the B&D; pav1200w work better than I anticipate . it have very good power for get all size of particle out of the carpet . the telescope built-in extension nozzle reach into the hard to access place , like under the pedal and the outer side of front seat . the extra long power cable be also a nice feature . +788 Vacuum POS 5 I have have this vacuum for several month now , and I be quite puzzle by the negative review it be get . it do sound like maybe there be some lemon out there , but once these folk figure out how to work it , or get it replace it be ok . we have 2 very long-haired dog -- there be always a ton of dog hair on the carpet . plus we be all `` indoor outdoor '' so there be plenty of dirt get track on we carpet too . I vacuum about once a week . I turn this vac on and it do a awesome job -- it be get so much suction that I have to turn down the volume when I go over my throw rug or it lift they off the ground . it have incredible suction through the wand too -- I have nab fly insect from several inch away this last week -- hah ! I can not stand the enormous mess of bagless vac -lrb- a ridiculous trend in vac if you need heavy duty cleaning -rrb- , and this vac have disposable hepa bag -- which be top on my list . the bag that be mean to be purchase with it contain the unpleasant dog smell which eventually accumulate -- and they work great !!! I have never have a vac that do that . it be get a very simple on\/off switch , not a foot pedal , which I be happy about . it have multiple on-board attachment . it have a nice large valve -lrb- ? -rrb- that you turn to go from floor to hose suction -- always a problem previously for I . and it have the ability to turn off the rotate brush when you be work on bare floor -- although I do not have a problem w \/ keep it on when I be go over the tile in kitchen . it have a enormous long cord which let I cover a huge amount of live room\/dining room without switch outlet . my only complaint be that the latch that let you release it from it be upright position be slightly difficult for I to get it to work in my houseshoes\/boots . but I figure that be I and my selection of footwear -- I eventually give it enough pressure and it release . I honestly can not say enough good thing about this vac -- it have enormous power , no smell , long cord , can do carpet or hard floor well , etc. . it be not ultra-light or quiet -- but I have have dog long enough to know that I can not get the cleaning I want w \/ some wimpy vac . but it be not so heavy I have a problem with it -- maybe my mother would , she be 75 . it roll really well though , so you can just roll it backwards on 2 wheel very very easily . and the husband say it be a lot quieter than the last one , a Dirt Devil which do not so squat . so go figure . it do the job it say it will do -- I could not be more pleased w \/ something I absolutely depend on . +708 Vacuum POS 5 I receive my new Miele Callisto today . I must say it work better than any vaccuum I have ever have . my only problem be that after spend $ 900 on a vaccuum , I would think I could get a operating instruction booklet specific to my vaccuum . not true . I be send a generic booklet for the 5000 series . most of the picture and instruction do not match . in fact , if I have not already have a canister vaccuum of a different brand , I would not be able to figure out how to put this vaccuum together or use it . but , I give it 5 star because it be a really great vaccuum . +775 Vacuum POS 5 the robot go to work from the very first day . my husband have a guy night that weekend and all he could talk about be how impressed he be . I have not have to complain about pet hair since . he program it to do it be thing at 2 pm while we be both still at work . awesome ! +655 Vacuum POS 5 I researce a lot of vacuum before decide on this one . I can agree that it be a little heavy and loud but it do a excellent job do what it be suppose to do and that be pick up ! the best vacuum by far from any I have ever own or use . I have a 10 month old that love to look for anything on the floor to put in he mouth and I do not have to worry that he will be successful after use this ! highly recommend and I would buy again ! +559 Vacuum POS 5 I find the Black & Decker Cyclonic Action Automotive Pivoting Nose Vacuum Cleaner to be very convenient . it make get into small space a real breeze , sometimes even fun ! and that be say something because I do not like to vacuum . I be able to clean area I have never be able to clean in a car with a vacuum before ! +129 Vacuum POS 5 I find this by accident on EBay 's Deal of the day for $ 39 . it be a refurbish product that ship directly from Black & Decker . I think it would be great for job like hair on the tile floor in the bathroom and the occasional corner dust bunny on the hardwood . I have use it for those thing and so many more . clean my window sill , fan blade , baseboard , staircase spindle on and around my plant . I have be very happy with this product . the suction be good for a cordless . very light weight which be a plus when you have to reach up high like the ceiling fan . we have 2 small dog and I have yet to use it for pet hair , other than when it be on my shirt sleeve and it work great - a hi-tech lint roller if you will . the holding chamber of course do not hold a whole lot , but if you empty it every couple use I think it will be fine . charge time be about 2 hour I think and that seem reasonable to I . I would agree that the run time after a full charge be about 7 + min . do not sound like much , but you can cover a lot of little job in 7 min ! we have about 40 + window in we house and I tote this little guy along with I when I wash the window the other day and vacuum all the window sill and I do almost all of the window sill before I notice I be loose suction . I be impress with that . over all I would say if you find this product for a steal like I do I would snap it up in heartbeat if you need if for the little job I mention . I wish I would have buy one as a gift for my parent who have a rv as I think it would be compact vacuum for they while they travel . +209 Vacuum POS 4 I just rec have the vacuum and so far it seem to live up to its billing - both good and bad -lrb- include the negative billing about the difficult Bare Floor switch -rrb- . I try disengage the beater bar use the switch accord to the instruction in the owner manual , push as hard as I could , then give up and call customer service . I be advise to drop the handle down and try again . I find that if you wedge the handle in the down position against a heavy piece of furniture , get down on you hand and knee with you foot prop against the opposite wall , place a thumb on the switch and you other thumb on top of the first thumb , take a deep breath and then push for all you be worth , it do click into the ` brush off ' position . bottom line - I think the engineer that design this feature should investigate a new profession . +18 Vacuum POS 5 purchase two of these for gift and they seem to be work well . both daughter have dog , and the vacuum do a good job of remove the hir from they floor . would purchase another +639 Vacuum NEG 1 this vacuum be really easy to put together . it be work fine for about 5 minute after assemble it , then start make a choke noise and completely lose suction . I check the tube and there be no clog - I do not even have anything on my carpet other than dust . I return it the same day and purchase a Hoover instead . +486 Vacuum POS 5 you can feel the scrubby thing work , they even pull the vacuum forward , so cleaning be a piece of cake . my place feel so much cleaner and dust be minimize so there be less dust to do . I pick up the arm & Hammer filter too which freshen up the air in my place as well . get this , you 'll love it , it look cool too ! +774 Vacuum NEU 3 this vacuum cleaner be heavy to lift or move in another direction , it be cover with dust on bottom part of machine . it seem to pick up dirt very good but I use on my sofa where the pet hair be the worst but it do not do a good job at all . I do like it for a large area because it move by itself just when you change direction it be heavy . I like the attachment with it , so easy to use for sofa . +366 Vacuum POS 4 the B & D PSV1800 be exactly what I need . it be powerful enough to pick up pet hair , etc. , from either wood floor or rug and carpet . it be convenient , empty easily , and make quick work of the little daily touch up . +648 Vacuum POS 5 I have a bissell before and I use it for 5 year before get this one for the same price as before . the suction be good as before plus it also suck dirt from the side and the attachment for stair be just amazing . - suction be strong - easy to throw out the crap - most of the filter be washable - be heavy but lighter when compare to its peer - make slightly less noise totally worth it for $ 80 . +883 Vacuum POS 4 this little fellum work as well as you could ask of any handheld\/cordless minus . although it be a little loud , it be light , easy to use , and simple to maintain . the upholstery attachment for the dog hair work great . +345 Vacuum POS 5 I love this thing . try to clean up after a dog and a contractor be not easy . but have the Roomba do the vacuum everyday make it sooo much easier . +439 Vacuum NEG 1 there be a problem with this vacuum cleaner just after 2 month of use . it have a lot of noise , you can not image the sound of it . it be also warm up easily . vacuum capability be ok but not great . it be heavy . I certainly not recommend this vacuum cleaner . +16 Vacuum POS 5 this be a excellent product easy to use , great suction . Great for get connect in to hard to get at place . +917 Vacuum POS 5 I already own one Eureka Boss sweeper and decide to purchase another one so I could have one upstairs and one downstairs . I have a Kirby sweeper and wind up hate it . the Eureka Boss have powerful suction , and have the hose and attachment on board ready to go be wonderful . I have asthma , and my doctor also recommend it . +408 Vacuum NEG 1 after read so many good review for these bag , it seem like I could not go wrong with they for my three month new Meile Onyx . the old adage `` you get what you pay for '' be more like what these bag prove to be . right out of the box they look like they would do the job so I get down to business testing they . I have a very small home -lrb- 1,000 sq. ft. -rrb- and mostly laminate wood floor with a few wool runner rug throw in and wall to wall carpet in my bedroom . I also have one tiny dog and one very , furry , cat . we live in the country and garden , raise chicken , and have a pool . so , lot of debris always be track in the house on foot -lrb- even with shoes-off policy -rrb- and paw . I start to do a through vacuuming of the house and about halfway thru it sound like the Meile be make a noise I have never hear before . upon open up the bag door I notice immediately that the bag \* compartment \* be full of debris that I have just vacuum up . Huh , that seem like a fluke . I reread the instruction to make sure I have put the bag in correctly , yes I have . I check the bag for any hole , none and filter for dust I could not really see , all good . then I have to get out my old vacuum and vacuum out the compartment of all that have be disperse inside . Grrrrr . I check hose , they be fine . I replace the bag with another new one and start the rest of the house , again , a weird noise . again , debris in the bag compartment . my thought be that the flimsy , elastic , film on the bag where the hose snap into be not strong enough to do the job . conclusion , waste money , waste time and effort , and my BIGGEST concern ... have this permanently do damage to my Meile motor due to the dust and debris get in there ? I do not believe that a big-name label guarantee quality above a non-label in most case but in this one , I be regret it big time . +75 Vacuum NEU 3 I have the older green version of this vacuum . I have have it for eight year but two of those year it be in storage and then to be honest I do not use it often . I have a baby now that be just begin to crawl so I have start vacuum at least twice a week . about two week ago I notice a whining noise and click come from the motor ... we take it apart like we do every so often to clear out debris and there be nothing stick , the vacuum be go out . it have start not pick up . pro : good for the price suck well . con : hard to clean , attachment do not sit in attachment slot , handle be too low for taller people , heave , and not vary maneuverable , short hose\/cord , hard floor\/high adjustment down to low , release lever stick and not good for hard floor ie hardwood \/ tile\/linoleum . if you be on a limited budget this be the best vacuum for the price . we be lucky enough to be replace it with the Miele twist ! +25 Vacuum POS 4 heavier than I think 10 lb would be - I weigh it & 10 lb . awkward to empty the dust\/dirt . do do well on floor & rugs\/carpet for a in-between vacuum but do not get edge as well as I hope . I have only use a few time but the battery seem to charge ok -lrb- have read some complaint -rrb- . I buy this for a quick pick up & to use on the patio rug where I do not use my house vacuum . it do bend easily go under thing but still do not get the edge . I have mostly wood floor and have to be careful when release to open - it pop open & will make dent in wood floor . it be now 2\/11\/11 . the battery be still charge just fine . all of the filter system do require wash every few month if you use frequently . I have a puppy , live in fl -lrb- sandy even in the grass -rrb- so many trip in & out of the house . it seem to be a fine for in between clean up before regular vacuuming & do a nice job on the patio rug & floor . I have find hit the edge from the front end , then side do work better - just a little more effort . still overall pleased with the purchase . +192 Vacuum POS 4 have this about a month now ... I purchase it for my studio apartment . if it work this well for a few year I will be completely happy . my last Hoover canister -lrb- not commercial -rrb- last I well over ten year . +725 Vacuum POS 5 I be seek a vacuum that be affordable and would be able to pick up pet hair . I need a bagless because of the amount my dog shed & bag would not be reasonable . I get exactly what I want . the Bissell Cleanview helix Upright Vacuum Cleaner , Bagless , 82h1 do the trick . it be lightweight , have all sort of attachment and be easy to use . I be happy with this product ! +969 Vacuum POS 5 I have have a hand-held version of this vacuum for 2 year before it break . after that I go for a couple of year with the stick vacuum and have quite a few of they - nothing come close to the performance of my hand-held B&D; . they simply do not have enough power \/ suction to be effective . then , I see my B&D; in the stick form . after have it for a couple of week at this point I be glad to see it be every bit as good as my old one . this be the best stick cordless vacuum I have ever own and I own a few . the only con this vacuum have be noise - not the quietest vacuum out there but I 'll trade the noise for power . +293 Vacuum POS 5 seriously , not much to say that all the user -lrb- and vacuum repairman -rrb- have not already ... this be the best vacuum that I have ever use , hand down . I do a lot of research and consider all of the very expensive wind-tunnel , canister , and bag-less system , but `` Carpet pro '' keep pop up everywhere . the final straw be when I go to a vacuum store and repair shop and after about 20 minute of talk to the technician about the top of the line eureka and Dyson unit , I tell he that I be tire of buying , repair , and replace vacuum . I ask he what to buy if I simply want a well-working vacuum that will be the last vacuum I spend money on . he reply be two unit , the Carpet pro and another brand which cost in the region of $ 700 for the entry model . he state that both unit be `` truly professional '' -lrb- and not just a ordinary vacuum with the word `` professional '' write on it , in the case of the Carpet pro -rrb- and each be design for very aggressive daily use , such as to be use by a cleaning service or theater employee . they be not design for they feature or marketing trick , but for longevity and quality . if the repairman can compare this vacuum to a $ 700 unit , then I be all-in at just over two hundred dollar . important note : this vacuum be rate lower power than many other compete model , but the Carpet pro have far more suction , I can personally attest . this thing will suck you carpet off the ground , not a exaggeration . my very messy carpet in my art room look nearly \* brand new \* after I vacuum with this unit . if I have picture , you still would not believe it . this unit be very solid and the picture do not do justice . this unit be build extremely well in Germany , and consider that this unit have a real stainless steel beater bar -lrb- the rolling-pin-looking thing that hit the carpet , dislodge dirt -rrb- , stainless ball bearing for the bar , and the overall build quality make this unit a clear winner . no , there be no fancy vortex and you have to use a bag , but there be not a vortex vacuum on the market that could compete with this unit . I dare you to find another make of vacuum that include stainless bearing , let alone one with a stainless steel -lrb- or just \* METAL \* -rrb- beater-bar for anywhere in this price range . most vacuum use plastic beater-bar -lrb- or rarely wood , if you be lucky -rrb- and they have a press rod through the center of the bar , through which it spin . these will eventually melt and become loose ; rattle on the rod and in the compartment . not the Carpet pro , which have dedicate seal stainless steel bearing and the entire bar be metal , not just the metal rod that go through the plastic beater-bar , like that of the competitor . another thing to note , clear plastic be much more brittle than color plastic , and also much more prone to be damage or discolor by uv like that which come from the sun . most competitor use clear plastic that feel light , flimsy , and cheap , apparently to show you that the unit be work and to give the impression of it be more technical than it truly be . also realize that a lot of money be spend by the manufacturer to make they product look like it be technologically advance . money be not only spend on the design and r+d , but also in have to mold plastic in fancy , complicated , design and color to give that appearance . but this actually hurt the durability and longevity of they product and cost you more to buy the unit . the Carpet pro use a very rigid and thick color A.B.S. high impact plastic that do not flex or feel light . instead , it feel like I could whack this thing with a baseball bat and it would not break . it also feel like it be design for function and then wrap in this strong plastic . most of the other unit look like they be design and function come after . bottom line be that the Carpet pro , from a distance or picture , look like a very cheap , generic vacuum . however as soon as you get closer , touch it , or even use it , you will know the difference . anyway , the technician be ask $ 400 for the unit and if he would have lower he price to $ 300 dollar , I would have buy it through he . however , I be able to buy it on Amazon for 207 include s + h. if I have no other choice , I would have be happy pay the $ 400 after own this vacuum for about 6 month . search thoroughly ... read all review of this vacuum on Amazon and throughout the internet . if you want marketing and a fancy-looking vacuum , buy elsewhere . if you want something that will last the rest of you life , build better , and also perform better than almost any vacuum on the planet , this be you answer . +222 Vacuum NEU 3 five year ago I purchase a Bissell vacuum cleaner from Amazon for about $ 50 . it be great , the best vacuum cleaner I own in the last 35 year , that be - until my adult son use it as a shop vac for sheet rock . this Bissell helix Upright have a loose clear plastic container where the dust and dirt accumulate . the loose container make for a poor suction vacuum and a poor experience at try to pick-up dirt . I return it and Amazon be excellent , as usual with the refund . not sure if this be a one off mistake , or if a whole batch be make poorly . +407 Vacuum POS 4 the shipping be excellent and the vacuum be easy to assemble . it seem to work great and almost take off without I . it be a little heavy but it give I more of a work out right ? +626 Vacuum POS 4 heavier than I expect and feel a little blockish to move around at first , but very nicely lowers\/rolls down step . love the attachment - especially the power paw with the brush inside . Works very well for the stair . great suction . take a little bit to get use to the setting . price be great . reliable manufacturer . +484 Vacuum NEG 2 to clean this vacuum out , you need to empty a large cup which be easy . but you frequently also need to clean the cylindrical foam filter underneath the cup , and the trap above the cup . the foam filter get really plug up and the best way I have figure to clean it be to use my shop vac in the garage . so you have two take out three component . the cup be easy to clean but I have yet to clean all three area without dump some of the dust back on the floor or get a puff in my face . I feel foolish cleaning one vacuum with another . I be go back to a bagged design . +521 Vacuum POS 5 Black & Decker PSV1800 18-Volt Cordless Pivoting Floor Vacuum Cleaner it have more power than some of the most expensive cord cleaner . it be fun to vacuum , go on with a flip of the button under chair , furniture , and do not grab electric cord as most vacuum cleaner do but push they away gently when encounter . the battery be long lasting , more than enough to clean a complete floor of a big house . it be truly a 21st century vacuum cleaner by it be versatility , power and design . I recommend it to all my friend . buy it , you 'll love it . +686 Vacuum NEG 1 this vacuum quite work with a few month . one of the worst decision I have ever make . +233 Vacuum NEG 1 I just throw away the Miele s7210 . it be less than a year old . the bag will not stay on the post to catch the dirt . the part of the cover be make of such cheap plastic they break off . it not worth the massive amount of money . DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER THIS PRODUCT !!!! +394 Vacuum POS 5 this product vacuum and pick up quite well . it be somewhat heavy , but heavy be good because hold to the floor , et al. . my wife delegate I to operate this . fold-up to store , clean : require a little dexterity , and in clean out the accumulate , it be best hold over a waste basket . there be two filter , which should be `` service '' . filter keep air clean . pleased with the purchase , the vacuum be solid in consturction . it be good value , engineer well . . +638 Vacuum POS 5 we have a version that be 6 year old now without the stair cleaner and pet hair feature . it work amazingly and everyone who try we vacumme buy one . honestly i wish it would break so i could justify buy the new version . : -rrb- Fabulous vacumme . +11 Vacuum NEG 2 I love this vacuum when I get it and even talk my daughter into one . great suction . but after about 4 month the battery start to give out . contact the company and they say I could not purchase a battery as I should not open vacuum . they send I a brand new vacuum cleaner instead which I think be very nice . same thing be happen again . I can barely make it across the kitchen floor without it die . I guess it be time to give on up this one . +296 Vacuum POS 5 I just get a apartment and be look to buy my first real vacuum when I come across this one on Amazon . I be look for a hepa filter upright that would help with my allergy yet would not cost 300 + dollar . the 4870mz be a great solution . it seem to have very good suction . I have only use it a few time , but each time it have leave nothing behind , and suck up thing that be bigger than I expect it to be able to handle . the pet tool that attach to the end of the hose be also very strong . it pull the cat hair right out of the little area rug he spend a lot of time on . the suction height be also very adjustable , so go from a small area carpet , to shaggy carpet , to linoleum tile have be a breeze . some people have complain about how heavy the vacuum be , but as long as the wind tunnel be set to the right height , I have have no problem . I have it set too low the first time , and I could hardly move it . it really be not much heavier than other hepa vacuum I have use . the chord be decently long , and I be able to do any room in my apartment -lrb- not huge -rrb- without have to change plug . Make sure to read the manual though . there be a lot of little detail that help make it easier to use -lrb- such as switching from carpet to hard floor have to be do while the vacuum be tilted back -- I think that switch just do not work at first -rrb- . overall , a great buy for the price . +544 Vacuum POS 5 the best hand vac I have ever own . Compact , lightweight and powerful . have a Shop Vac like hose that extend to help you clean up high , low and in tight space . also , it have a Pet Brush attachment that be the best solution I have use to clean my dog 's shed hair . Great buy ! +249 Vacuum POS 5 the title say it all . we live in Alaska , we have 4 boy and a long-haired dog , and this vacuum keep up with all of it . Consumer Reports say this vacuum be they ` best buy ' and I 'll add my vote to that . it be a awesome vacuum . I be so thrill to have it ! pro \* hepa filter \* bag -lrb- I may have to buy refill , but they be so much less messy than my bagless dustbuster ... and amazon have the bag so I just order a package with the vacuum . -rrb- \* 12 amp engine ' \* it suck like no vacuum I have ever use -- not my mom 's , not my mother-in-law 's , not my father-in-law 's shop vac , not the industrial one we use when clean the church ... I be use the hose to clean up my sewing area the other day and it pick up thread jumble and fair-sized fabric scrap without hesitation . I have warn the boy that if they do not pick up they lego or marble they will undoubtedly be eat by the vacuum ... if the intake be large enough , I think it might suck up whole article of clothing or possibly small child . \* it work beautifully on we tall carpet , short carpet , and bare floor . I do not see any dog hair leave behind , and especially the first time I use it I could hear the dirt woosh up the tube . it be quite satisfying actually . we -lrb- far-from-new rental-apartment -rrb- carpet look plusher and feel softer than it do when we move in . I would not hesitate to believe that this vacuum can extend the life of we carpeting . \* the `` power paw '' -lrb- a hose attachment with a rolling brush like the main vacuum -rrb- take all the hair off my dog 's bed . I have vacuum over that bed so many time , run the cover through the wash machine , and even just take the whole thing out and beat it ... I be fairly certain it have not be this clean since the day we bring it home . I think the paw be mean to be use on couch and upholstery , but we dog stay off the furniture so I have not test that application yet . \* this may seem silly , but I really like that the handle be a loop rather than a stick ... it make it easy to pull around -lrb- since I do not want to lift it -rrb- and it be easier to hold for the back and forth motion of vacuum ... I have have a vacuum fly right out of my hand on the forward motion before -lrb- please tell I I be not the only one who be do that ! -rrb- but that can not happen with the loop handle . con \* Yep , it be heavy . I would not want to haul it up and down stair on a regular basis . SO , if I ever have a house with stair , I will probably just buy a second smartboss for the other floor . \* the location of the power switch be a bit inconvenient for regular vacuuming . -lrb- it be down on the top part of the body , rather than up on the handle . -rrb- it mean I can not switch it on with the same hand I be ` drive ' with ... it be not a issue when use the hose , but it be sortof a hassle . this be the one thing that actually do bug I about this machine . \* as for the noise question ? well , I have definitely hear louder ... but the very first time I use it I be excitedly vacuum away in the bedroom and when I come out I find that my toddler have fall asleep on the couch ... so it must not be that loud !! +485 Vacuum NEG 1 this vacuum be horrible . the battery life be about 5 minute and it take a long time to charge . it also do not suck good ! it be the biggest waste of money ever . this vacuum do not even deserve 1 star ! +746 Vacuum POS 4 a very big price difference between the branded product and the `` generic '' . the biggest difference between the original and the generic be in the bag 's seal mechanism where it mate to the machine dust port . the generic bag use a cardboard retain ring and closure device , and the real thing from Miele be plastic . from a practical standpoint , I will purchase the generic again as there be good value in the generic replacement vesion once you get past the lack of the plastic retain ring ... they both work the same and the bag quality seem just fine . nothing to complain about . a big difference in cost ... this be good ! +581 Vacuum NEG 2 I like the vacuum , but my wife find it awkward so we return it . most of the weight be in the middle and it can make the vacuum feel heavier than it be . I find it to be a nuisance to have to fold it in half to charge it . suction be good . +823 Vacuum NEG 2 I use this vacuum once or twice a month to vacuum regular carpet in three room . the motor give out after a year and a half . spend more money and get a better vacuum that will last longer . +910 Vacuum POS 5 I have a large office full of miscellaneous pet , include finch , house bunny , rat and degus . I need something that would be practical and portable , yet have plenty of power for both quick tidy-up and heavy habitat cleaning . I be look for the most power combine with the smallest size , and I find exactly what I need . this little vac have not let I down in 3 month of heavy use . I have it out at least once , if not several time a day . occasionally the hose will clog , -lrb- hay be a tough one -rrb- , but I be really challenge it , and if I take the time to pick up the larger stuff before I start , I rarely have a problem . the cord be plenty long enough to do all from one outlet . it be also a snap to take down the stair and out to do the car , and could not be easier to empty . I be use bag at the beginning and have a hard time find they - shop vac part # 90668 , type b work perfectly and cost around $ 6 for three . only two con I can think of , and neither be much of a problem for I - for one , it be very loud . my critter quickly get use to it , though - even the little bird . when I be clean inside the aviary , they just go down to the other end . bunny and rodent have no problem at all . the other - the crevice tool could be shape better . it have a brush attachment that swivel out on the end of the tool that kind of get in the way and make it too wide for most tight space - I could make better use of a narrow crevice tool and forgo the brush business . I would definitely recommend this vac to anyone who keep any kind of pet in the house - it make clean up a breeze . +773 Vacuum POS 4 I buy the iRobot 564 Pet Series , as we just get a puppy for Christmas . I want something to help I keep the pet fur and grass under control on my hardwood floor and area rug . I be so completely impressed with this `` vacuum '' . it truly do a great job , and so far , really have not have any issue navigate around we furniture . I would say it do as good a job -lrb- maybe better -rrb- as my regular vacuum . there be some area it struggle with , such as my flooring transition -lrb- tile to hardwood -rrb- , but it be really no big deal . it get I 98 % there , so I would say that be a win . something I be not really expect be how well it also vacuum my carpet . I just set it in a bedroom and shut the door . it be do in 20 - 25 minute , and look great . anyway , if you be consider purchase one of these , I would say you can not lose ! not to mention , my 4 YO son and dog love it . ton of entertainment ! +594 Vacuum POS 5 I be look for a new vacuum cleaner and after read the review for the Dison I be afraid to purchase a product that be more talk than performance . the s7210 be comparable in price to the Dison but have very few bad review . one that I notice be not be able to find vacuum bag for it . Amazon sell they all day so that be not really a problem . the s7 be extremely powerful and extremely quiet . it move and turn easily and the control be all located and design to make operate it easy . we have a bagless vacumm cleaner before this and we still have to change certain filter and deal with the container of waste be always messy and seem to leave you in a cloud of dust . this be why we decide to go back to bag . I highly recommend this vacuum cleaner . my advice be to get hardwood floor but if you must have carpet then it be better to buy one vacuum cleaner that will do the job correctly and last a long time . \*\* warning \*\* this be a powerful vacuum cleaner design for carpet not area rug . if you have some small area rug this maybe too much vacuum cleaner for you . PS . the wand be also excellent at remove dust from you heat register . +431 Vacuum NEG 1 because I work in a different state from where I actually live , I buy this 18-month ago in order to have a vacuum cleaner in the apartment I be rent . it seem to work ok but it be not long before I notice that the dirt never make it through the hose into the clear area where it be suppose to accumulate . I look up information about this and it be suggest that I could wash the filter , so I have try that but nothing happen . now , about every other time I vacuum I have to remove the hose and clean out all the dust and fiber that have accumulate . I have hear that bagless vacuum be bad , but this one seem to barely suck the dirt off the top of the carpet and I certainly do not feel like it ever provide a good cleaning . I be pretty sure when I move out of this apartment I should borrow a decent vacuum from a friend in order to give the carpet a good cleaning . I be also glad that I own a Hoover at my actual house and I certainly would not consider buy another Bissell after this experience . +108 Vacuum NEG 1 do not buy this product . in 5 month the vacuum start squeal like a jet airplane try to take off . when I call about warranty service to fix the motor they direct I to a shop 1 hour away -lrb- 2 hour round trip -rrb- . the shop say it will take 5 work day just to find out the problem and then another week or so to get the part in and then 2-5 business day to fix it . after that I could stop back in -lrb- another 2 hour round trip -rrb- to pick it up . so 4 hour of drive , gas , my time and 3 week without a vacuum in my home with 2 toddler ... . not worth it ! save yourself the hassle and get another brand . +239 Vacuum POS 4 I have just a few small rug and some step and I love this little vacuum cleaner . it be quite powerful and easy to use . its not that much fun to clean out the filter but if you do it outside its no big deal . Easy to store . I recommend it for small job . oh , and I have a long haired cat who shed as much as 5 cat and this work really well ! +120 Vacuum POS 5 this vacuum cleaner be worth every penny u spend on it . the cleaning be awesome and the result be very good . I have no complaint from this vacuum cleaner . it work as good on a carpet as on a bare floor surface . I have a combination of both carpet and bare floor in my apt , and i have have no trouble on either surface . it work wonderfully on both surface . clean the dust container be also very user friendly . my recommendation : go for it !! +628 Vacuum POS 5 this thing really suck !! I have a small condo with wood , tile , rug & carpet . the PSV 1800 do a great job on all surface - I be amaze at how much it pick up when I empty the filter housing for the first time . great battery - it have never slow down when I have be use it . it be portable and compact - I would highly recommend this unit for a small place -lrb- under 1000 sq ft -rrb- like mine . +95 Vacuum POS 5 this be the second one of these that I have own and the only vacuum I use . it be great . handy , tough , powerful , easy to store , and a good value for the money . the other thing I like about this vacuum be that it be fairly quiet . many small vacuum have a loud high-pitched sound that be very annoying . the only drawback be that this vacuum be now sell with a short hose only , and Hoover do not offer a long one . the short hose be a pain - literally . but I find a e-bay store that sell a hose that fit this vacuum and be plenty long enough - about 6 foot . find it here : -lrb- ... -rrb- I also buy the carry cover and it be very useful for do stair , and have a side pouch to stick the tool and a extra extension cord in . my first vacuum like this be give to I use - very use , and I use it for another decade . stupidly , I give it away . I have have this one for over a year and I be very happy with it . +656 Vacuum POS 5 we have own so many vacuum that I could not even tell you how many there have be . we go through at least 3 a year . I have own all of the cheap brand , Kirby , and I have two of the dreadful Dysons . I be hesitant on buy another vacuum that cost so much , since the Dysons be such a disaster . a good friend of ours own a vacuum store , and he recommend this vacuum greatly . we do some research and decide to go for it . best decision ever ! we have all sort of floor in we house , and this tackle everything ! it really dig into the carpeting and lift all of the embedded dirt out ! it be also great on rug and bare floor ! the hose be so easy to use , and it come with a fantastic set of attachment ! most of the vacuum we have own come with the world crappiest set of attachment . this one come with everything you need ! the swivel head be much different from we Dyson Ball , in a good way ! the Dyson Ball have a lot of tension to it , and hurt you wrist when you turn it , with this , you barely have to move you wrist to make it turn ! it be so easy to go around all of my furniture ! I especially love it for the kitchen and dining room table . you can easily get in and around the chair . when I get this , I decide that I be go to use it on the main floor , use one Dyson in the garage , the Ball in the basement , and the Kirby upstairs . I find myself carry this all over the house and use it instead of the other ! this vacuum seriously blow my 2008 Kirby out of the water ! my mom think they Kirby from the '90 be the best vacuum out there , then I have she try this and now she be convince my dad to purchase one ! I would definitely recommend this to anyone ! +612 Vacuum POS 4 purpose of purchase : clean cat litter around cat box , cat hair on chair , occasional spill ; some dust -lrb- ceiling fan , behind tv 's -rrb- . also , we need cordless vac to take out to the parking lot to clean the car . I ask Santa for the Dyson handheld as a Christmas gift because we have a Dyson canister vac that we buy back in 2006 that really impress we with how well it work . it remain the best vacuum we have ever own , but it cost a pretty penny - $ 500 at the time . however , it just really blow we away performance-wise , and prove the old adage of get what one pay for . base on that experience , and because we be disgruntle with the performance of we ancient , messy , cord handvac , we decide that dish out the big buck on a Dyson hand vac would be the way to go . on Christmas morning , I open up the Dyson , turn it on and go about clean everything in the living room but be disappoint with the lack of `` wow factor '' : it seem sort of average , and certainly do not live up to my expectation . so , I go onto Amazon to do more research , put a lot of think into what I would be use it for ; and decide to pick up and try out the B&D; model before make any hasty decision to return the Dyson . have the two unit at home , I test they both over the next two day on my ceiling fan , around the cat box , kitchen drawer , etc. - often simultaneously use they side by side , switch hand frequently so as not to favor one particular vacuum . when do , I empty the contents of each onto a piece of paper to examine the quantity of contents the dust bin . I be shock by how much more debris be in the B&D; and can only surmise that it be due to the inferior physical design of the Dyson -lrb- the angle issue - see below -rrb- in re . to how well it make contact with the surface that I would be attempt to clean . also , the B&D; come with a nifty pet hair cleaning attachment , which I use on one half of a cat-hair-covered chair -lrb- use the Dyson with it be normal attachment for the other -rrb- and , in general , there be many area in different room that I simply could not reach with the Dyson that I could with the B&D; due to its elongate , flexible wand . cost : Dyson handheld - $ 176 -lrb- obviously a great bargain -rrb- at best buy ; B&D; Flex , $ 56 at Walmart . each be price at about half off the original msrp . Battery Life : much longer on Dyson -lrb- about twice as long -rrb- charge time : much faster on Dyson -lrb- 3 hour vs. 20 hour -rrb- design : Dyson look cooler but functionally , the design of the B&D; model make it more effective at get into tight spot . also , even though the Dyson weigh in at only 2.92 lb , and the B&D; weigh about a lb to 1.5 lb more -lrb- I could not find actual weight and when compare spec on amazon\/internet - Dyson list actual unit weight and b&d; list ship weight -rrb- due to the angle in which one need to hold the Dyson in relation to the object be clean , and the fact that one must always push the `` on '' button on the Dyson where it be grip -lrb- a power saving but at time annoying feature -rrb- it be actually much more tire to use the Dyson - and I be a total wimp who initially be excite about the lighter weight of the Dyson , and almost do not do this experiment after realize that most of the other hand vac out there weigh considerably more than the Dyson . Performance : due to the difficulty in get the angle right while hold the Dyson , even though it obviously have more suction power than the B&D; model , as prove by oh-so scientifically attach to each vac to the palm my hand then try to lift they off the ground via suction power , I find that I be able to clean up more dirt with the B&D; . that really surprised I because , at best , I expect they to clean up about the same amount , but actually go into the experiment assume the Dyson would outperform the cheaper model . when try to clean my ceiling fan , the awkward position of the Dyson make it so that it offer no benefit over lug out my canister vac . but due to the flexibility of the hose on the B&D; , I be able to clean in all of its nook and cranny . both unit have a two year warranty . my previous experience with Dyson 's customer service be excellent -lrb- on my canister vac -rrb- while previous experience with b&d; -lrb- many year ago for a power tool -rrb- be just so-so , maybe a little frustrating if memory serve . I be a little concerned about the poor customer service reviewer have note with black and Decker model , but even still , I expect that if anything go wrong with the B&D; , I can get they to honor they warranty , even if it be not a terrific experience . we be return the Dyson because , for we particular need , the B&D; work just as well or better , and cost a whopping $ 120 less ! there be just no way to justify that kind of cost discrepancy . so , for all of you out there who wish you could afford the Dyson , but actually only have $ 60 , do not feel like you be lose out . there may be some aspect of the Dyson that be nicer -lrb- longer battery life , shorter charge time -rrb- but for clean around the cat box and under the car seat , the $ 56 B&D; model more than meet we need . if each of the unit have cost the exact same amount , I would probably give each of they 4 star . however , since money be important to I , Dyson get two star for its awkward-to-hold design , and for overprice the unit , while the B&D; get 5 star for be such a bargain in comparison - and , of course , easier to use . as a last thought , if my need be different - i.e. , I need to get out the hand vac several time a day to use for 20 minute or more each time and have a very specific purpose for it , I \* MAY \* have go with the Dyson , especially if pet hair be not a issue . +658 Vacuum POS 5 Got this item recently , finally get to use it in earnest and it rule . do we bedroom today and get rid of dust and fuzz I could not believe be there -- the power paw accessory be excellent . it be get a spin brush head which be like a mini vacuum cleaner on a extension handle so you can get everything under you very awkward to move bed without have to move it . it be also the most powerful vacuum cleaner I have ever use . highly recommend . eureka 4870mz Boss Smart-Vac Upright HEPA Vacuum Cleaner +834 Vacuum POS 5 I be look for a cordless small hand vac . I currently have a roomba , which I love , but there be some place it do not reach . this complement the roomba . I also buy it because of the dog hair on my furniture . I have a Kenmore upright vacuum , its great for clean the floor , but the extenion and furniture attachment be useless on the dog hair . I have 3 dog , all with short hair , but I swear , it be all barb on one end and become embedded in the furniture . this work great for the hair , it have this rubber attachment that grab the hair and suck it up . I use the brush for vacuum the radiator in the house and get the dust off of the back of the tv . I have not have a problem with the battery go dead before I be do . I usually use it for 15 minute . by that time , the small collection bin be full . if I be vacuum hair , the bin be fill withing 5 mintue and I have to empty it , but it be not a big deal . what you have to realize be this be for touch up and small job . it do not replace a standard vacuum , it be not for that ! if you need to use it more than 15 minute , you probably need to be use you standard vacuum . I think black and Decker do a good job on this . it will be interesting to see how long the battery last . +647 Vacuum POS 5 this product be purchase for a high school graduation gift . remark : I like this ; I really do like this . great idea . order from Amazon be much more convenient and efficient than purchase otherwise . +176 Vacuum POS 4 I have be in the detail biz for 30 year . . have use just about every car vac that be ever be produce at one time or another . . most of they be pretty cheesy . . some be better than other . most suck . . in a bad way . due to that fact I generally just take my vehicle to the nearest car wash and use they industrial-strength vac . recently buy a mini-cooper and decide I want to keep a small vac on board . do my usually anal research and decide on the Black & Decker PAV1200W ... be not sure what to expect after read both good and bad review . I think some people expectation be just too high . be pleasantly surprise with this little device . the cord be plenty long . the accessory and bag be nice although I go to Griots Garage and buy a nicer bag for under $ 15 . the adjustability of the nozzle be sweet make it easier to get into hard place . the icing be the fold-up design which make it easy to store in the car 's lilliputian trunk . the little black and Decker do a decent job of suck up the small stuff and it be just what I be hope for . do I wish it have more suction ? absolutely , but for such a small device . . that would be unrealistic . if you be expect it too pick up pebble , crayon , or shell casing . . it be not gonna happen . however . . I be very happy with mine for the day to day minor visual maintenance and I feel it be well worth the money . +37 Vacuum NEG 2 I have the older version of this model -lrb- pay $ 150 06\/2007 , on Amazon -rrb- , which be very highly rate by consumer report . I will give kudos to this vacuum 's `` suckability '' which be strong and good . when the bag start to get full I always notice a decline in cleaning effectiveness . the thing I hate about this vacuum be it be weight and terrible manuverability-it be like push and pull dead weight around . I see the weight be list as 26 lb and let I tell you that be probably accurate and this thing be heavy !! there be absolutely no glide around on carpet or bare floor . I also do not like the width of 15 '' - the vacuum end up be cumbersomely too large and you can not move it around and between furniture\/objects . my accessory also constantly fall off which I see as a major complaint on many of the lower reviewer . it be a total pain to not be able to keep the accessory on board while you be use the vacuum . the weight and cumbersomeness make do stair a sweaty job , combine with the fact that the unit blow out quite a bit of hot air when in use . it be like have a blowdryer on you ! just yesterday I buy the Eureka Airspeed as1000a -lrb- for $ 120 , a Walmart exclusive item -rrb- which be bagless and weigh about 18lb . I be thrill with it ! current customer review be 5 star out of 5 w \/ 45 review . I think about get a Dyson , but the claim on the airspeed box say it be suppose to have better suction than 3 model of dyson at only 1\/3 the cost . I figure I would give it a try and return it if I do not like it . I love that this new vac glide around w \/ great ease on both carpet and my wood floor ! I love how this unit get in and around obstacle much easier because it be about 2 '' less in width . at first I wonder if the vacuum be go to be as effective at clean because it be so much easier to push and pull on the carpet . it be incredibly effective in clean ! I have 4 cat and a new puppy -lrb- in and out constantly for potty training -rrb- and two young kid . I usually vacuum about once every week or two at the most . my old bag get full after about 4 time use . this new bagless unit get `` overfull '' in one use ! I be absolutely shock at the volume and filth extract from my carpet which be 6 yr old when I empty the container ! if that amount have go in a new vacuum bag it would have be at least 1\/2 full ! all the accessory snap in place very securely on the new Airspeed unit which I really like ; even the power stair nozzel which do not even have a place to go on my old unit ! what I be dissappoint in in the new Airspeed model be that I like be able to tip the vacuum back to pick up the brush head in order to avoid go over the cord or to decrease the likelihood of suck up area carpet . when in use , and the Airspeed be tip back , the brush head section do not lift up off the floor unless the vacuum be practically horizontal to the surface it be on . the other thing I do not like be that the power cord clip to keep the cord on the back side of the unit -lrb- while in use -rrb- do not adequately secure the cord and the cord repeatedly fall out of it be clip . the design of the handle do lend itself to be able to thread the cord through the loop of the handle which then obviously would never fall out back toward you foot while use the unit so I will probably try that the next time I use the vacuum . the power nozzel attachment for stair or upholstry have a handy flip shield which enable you to vacuum in either a horizontal or vertical plane -lrb- w\/out change you grip or twist and turn the nozzel attachment -rrb- and it work very , very well - the brush spin very rapidly -lrb- power by the very strong suction airflow -rrb- and it do not stop spin with even moderate pressure while in use . so far I think the Eureka Airspeed be a amazing vacuum for the inexpensive price ! +796 Vacuum POS 5 we have have the Miele Earth for over 1 year . it do a wonderful job on the floor and the carpet ... we have a upgrade power head . the carpet look almost new ! we take we Dyson Junk-Ball back ; it do a lousy job on the carpet . expensive but very happy and my allergy be much better than in year past . +478 Vacuum POS 4 this little vacuum be nice to have on hand ! I keep it in my car so that when I find myself with a spare moment I can plug it in and sweep away . I have use it when I be go through the automatic car wash or on my lunch break . the attachment work great , the cord be very long and the storage bag hold everything . the only thing I dislike be when the nose be not completely straight some of the dirt fall out . but that be minor compare to the amount of time and money save with this handy little vac . this be definitely a must for those who like to keep thing nice and tidy !! +414 Vacuum POS 5 for the price and the feature this be one vacuum to look at . the only draw back be the weight . you would not think 25lb be much untill you have to push it back and forth over 2000 square foot of carpet . I look at it as excercise but some may dread vacuum day . lift one at Walmart or Sears and make you own mind up before buy . +671 Vacuum POS 5 before I go any further , if you be consider buy this vacuum , DO IT ! it be a powerhouse , it have a ton of attachment that will impress you -lrb- like a mini bristle-rotating turbo brush that will be great for stair , rug , etc -rrb- , and it be light weight will encourage you to use it everywhere . also , I love that it be bagless , and that I can see right through to how much shmutz I have collect . it give you a sense of accomplishment ; -rrb- the only downside be that be consume a lot of power . which produce a lot of heat . I do not recommend use it while wear a jacket , because you 'll roast . also , I have blow fuse and have to run to the garage more than once , but that be the price you pay for such a powerful product . +766 Vacuum POS 5 I have be use a Rainbow vacuum for year and be get tired of put it together every week to vacuum . I want something that could do close to the same job that I could use regularly without all the trouble . my house have a combination of flooring - tile , carpet , stair . the Eureka Boss have great suction and clean a variety of surface well . it be heavy , BUT vacuum time have be cut in half . the cord be long enough , but the hose could be a little longer . +990 Vacuum NEU 3 I be disappoint in how long the charge last . only about 10 minute or so . so , only get this if you want it just for touch-up . also , you pretty much have to use the beater bar all the time , even on hardwood to get it to pick up . after see it get good review on this site and on Consumer Guide , I think it would be better . but it be not . +609 Vacuum POS 5 this be my first review and I be write it because I have become so dependent upon other 's review now when I be shop that I feel as though I should be a contributor . this product hardly need my help . I find it last year read the review here and think I might have to go back to use a broom - nothing look as though it would work for I . I be get rid of a wear out , ineffective Hoover and need a cleaner that would work well to remove dog hair from 2 room of carpet but also do a good job on my new hard wood floor with out damage they . Amazon do not handle Carpet pro at that time so I follow a reviewer 's advise and look at Allbrands . I purchase this model for about $ 200.00 and add on extra bag , and the long hose . after a year it do exactly what I want - it be a little heavy but not awkward and with the long cord -lrb- great -rrb- and hose I really do not have to lift it that much . get it up stair may become a problem as I get older . it move easily over the floor -lrb- even the very thick carpet . the bag replace easily . I have be marry 40 yr and have have a variety of cleaner and this be the best and perhaps the last . +635 Vacuum POS 5 I do not have this exact model but the s7280 , which be very similar . quite simply , it be by far the best vacuum cleaner I have ever use . also , the quietest . it be superior in term of user interface , performance and versatility . if it also last it will be one of the best appliance purchase I have ever make . +78 Vacuum POS 4 I buy this vacuum base on consumer report recommendation . it be very good small vacuum and powerful for its size , work on both carpet and floor . I buy one for my mother and another for my aunt and they both like it . +783 Vacuum POS 5 we only recently get this vacuum , not this specific model but all of the s7 share the same basics , and so far be thoroughly impressed . to use a analogy , this vacuum feel like move up from a run of the mill car to a luxury car . my old Hoover WindTunnel be okay , just never really impressed I with its ease of use nor cleaning ability -- in a word , it be adequate . comparatively , the s7 be very impressive and feel like a big step up as it should for 2x the price of we old Hoover . -- very quiet for a vacuum -lrb- note still too loud to enjoy tv next to but quiet for a vacuum -rrb- ; also the sound be sort of like a turbine , smoother and less rough then other vacuum I have use -- good cleaning ability -- best I ever have but I have no experience with other high price vacuum -- very smooth and easy to maneuver -lrb- swivel head and all direction wheel -- all upright vacuum should have this -rrb- -- fully seal system -- Convenient , well think out feature -lrb- ex . the wand for the hose be permanently attach and extend with a button push , no more have to grab multiple wand attachment off the vacuum -rrb- the only drawback , which be not a issue to I as my last vacuum be fairly heavy as well , be the weight . a smaller person may prefer a lightweight vacuum which this be not . the well place carry handle make it pretty easy to haul around though . +404 Vacuum POS 5 the service\/delivery be excellent , upon open the box and lift it out I realize that I as a weak -lrb- woman -rrb- would never have to vacuum again as this unit be on the heavy side , but work very well when operate by the male of the house . +42 Vacuum POS 5 I have purchase other cordless vacuum cleaner and they last about 1 year . the Black & Decker cordless vacuum be a excellent quality vacuum cleaner . I have a pet that shead white hair and my Black & Decker cordless vacuum pick up the hair where the other cordless product do not . this product be sturdy and easy to use . I have have 3 six hour back surgery and have no problem lifting and use this product . I love it & have no problem recomend this product !! +953 Vacuum POS 4 I purchase this vacuum about a year ago when I move to my new apartment . I would say my use be mild to moderate , with no pet . but I do vacuum once a week in a 1 br apartment . the power and pickup on this be great , on pile carpeting . very easy to push and manuver around , of course in tight area it get a little bulky , but this come with a mini beater bar attachment for handle narrow space and the furniture . it do a great job on my couch . very easy to use and store . I do like the two chamber filter and dirt compartment , the washable filter do a great job of prevent the other filter from clog , and easy to rise and clean after a few month use . I would recommend this . +673 Vacuum POS 4 apart from standard positive of this vacuum like number of extension , follow be some positive which I think be really unique : 1 . power . vacuum cleaner be indeed powerful as mention by other in they review . 2 . Mode control knob . this knob , at the base of vacuum that help you in control the mode , be useful indeed . you can easily clean hard floor at low power whereas you need more power if you be clean carpet . and control be give to you , which be always good . 3 . Cable length . I love the length of cable this vacuum cleaner come with . I be able to clean two room from a single socket in my living room . it be always frustrate to keep on plug in vacuum after every 5 min . this long cable ensure I do not have to do it every now and then . 4 . light bulb . a light source give on this vacuum which move with vacuum be a well think feature . it do not only help with light at dark place , but also give you a idea of how close or far you the vacuum 's edge be from the wall . it help in avoid bang into wall while cleaning . negative : 1 . it be little heavier -lrb- bulky -rrb- . if you be willing to compromise on feature and power and if you have a backache problem , I would not recommend you this vacuum . it be not very bulky and if you be fit enough , you will not even feel the weight . this warning be for people who be already suffer from a backache . 2 . better manual . not that vacuum be very hard to assemble , but more picture in manual would give I more confidence when I assemble it . +976 Vacuum POS 5 seem to be very well make . much easier than pull around a shop vac . save substantial time . +644 Vacuum POS 4 just get this vacuum recently , and I must say I be already impress by it . I have a blue rug that have be collect dust and pet hair for two year . I have vacuum it with two separate vacuum -lrb- belong to roommate -rrb- and neither could get everything off . rather , it take about a hour of back-and-forthing till it look slightly cleaner . with this vacuum , it take about five minute -lrb- maybe even less ! -rrb- and it be back to its original dark-blue glory . also , I be please to see it be not picky about what it pick up , like some vacuum be . wrapper , rubber band , bit of paper , leave , they all get suck right up in one go . the feature I really like be the dial on front that allow you to set what height of carpet you be clean . make I feel confident that it be really get all that debris out of my floor . I will say this though . this vacuum let you know it be work hard . it be very loud . like , small airport loud . Pretty sure my ear be ring a bit after I clean my hallway . but it be worth buying , I think , particularly if you be a pet owner . +101 Vacuum POS 5 I be so happy with this vacuum . it be a excellent vacuum at such a great price . I have a small condo and do not need a fancy and expensive vacuum . this Bissell vacuum do a great job in my house . +872 Vacuum POS 4 Ok , this vacuum be a monster -- its about 30 lb and have a wide cleaning path . it be very powerful , and have lot of flexibility for clean carpet and floor , in addition to use the hose and wand attachment . the hose do not stretch as far as I would like because it be very flexible and the power of the suction keep pull it back into the vacuum base -- show how powerful the motor be . once you figure out the control and get past the stiffness of the upright release button , you be on you way . if you know that you will be carry a vacuum up and down stair quite a bit and you question you arm\/shoulder strength , then beware of this unit 's weight . otherwise , this be a very solid , well make unit that seem like it will last as long as you want it -- time will tell . my only real complaint -- and it be a small one -- be that the route of the cord for coil it up tend to interfere with the hose . +49 Vacuum POS 4 buy this about 4 year ago to use for cabin cleaning at a summer camp -lrb- need something cheap -rrb- . this vac be use to clean up a winter 's worth of dust , sand , spider web , & general `` funk '' in 40 building - way more brutal condition than I put my home vac through . it be be great . have only clog a couple of time , and just keep go . for my application , bagless be the only way to go . just one building contain enough dirt to fill the canister . Easy to dump and crank back up for the next one . my only complaint be that the foam filter pack up pretty fast with fine dust & be a little nasty to clean - but this probably would not be a issue in a normal home app . also , the hose attachment be not nearly a powerful as a shop vac . I guess what I be try to say be : this vac have be very effective and much more durable than I be expect for the price - the only thing that have worn be the brush bristle from all the wood floor . I like it enough that I just buy another one for my home . +227 Vacuum POS 5 this be a great little stick vac . Works great on bare floor and rug . Worth the money . lightweight . +317 Vacuum POS 4 this vacuum be one of the best vacuum I bring it move easily and pick up easy . these two thing be highly important to I consider I be in a wheelchair . I would prefer self propel but for the price you can not beat the way it move . +826 Vacuum POS 4 this vacuum work great . better than any Dyson at a fraction of the cost . I be amaze at how much more fine particle it pick up . Stock up on bag because they fill fast . a few issue to consider though : - it be big and heavy - I wish the cord be a little longer - the belt do not last long the biggest issue be the belt . get plenty of replacement , they only last a few month of light use . the belt be not what I expect , not a thick rubbery belt like other I have use . they be thin and not very elastic at all . plus they be hard to find at hardware or discount store . +52 Vacuum POS 5 I have always purchase bagless Dyson vacuum but they always lose suction . this Eureka have be great and seem to be able to keep suction . I have kid so there be always a mess . I be also impress with how it be able to pick up dirt that be along the baseboard . I always have to get out the crevice tool with my other vacuum . +646 Vacuum POS 4 I need this to get white dog hair off my black carpet seat . overall it help and I be impressed with the result from this quite little Vac , but it would never work as well as my old shop vac . +384 Vacuum POS 4 this vacuum review very well and be a good price . my old beige carpet look new ! it must have great suction power . it be noisier than review , but hey-it 's a vacuum . +613 Vacuum POS 4 I have have this vacuum for a month now , and it really seem to do a nice job . my only complaint thus far be it seem like the wheel do not spin particularly well , and it can make it somewhat difficult to maneuver . overall , I have be satisfy with the product . +719 Vacuum POS 5 absolutely love this product . Easy to program , easy to use , work fabulously . even after use a standard vacuum cleaner , this little robot still come back with more . have make a real difference clean up hair from we two cat . +997 Vacuum POS 4 most suction power of any vac I ever use . heavier than I think . this be not for the average woman you will need a strong back to use this thing . clean cloth bag be a messy project . I order some replaceable bag . the attachment be CHEAP no other way to say it . they do not look like they belong with the machine . they look more like they be for a toy . good thing there be a 2 year warranty . I hope Hoover live up to it . the end of the hose that attach to the vac be already come apart and the wand dent very easily . plastic would have be preferable to the ultra thin metal tube . too bad they cheap out on the attachment because otherwise this would be a great machine . +661 Vacuum POS 5 Works great and I highly recommend this vacuum . I buy this vacuum for my son in Florida . he be a bachelor and have a dog . the vacuum pick up the dog hair in the carpet easily and the upholstery tool get the hair out of the furniture as well . +193 Vacuum POS 5 this vacuum cleaner suck -- but in a good way ! I really want something powerful and effective , but I be a careful shopper , which be why I have put off buy a new vacuum . I do not want spend money on something only to find out that it still do not do what I want nor do I want to overspend on a expensive vacuum when a less costly model would do . my husband and I recently look into replace we carpet that be really past its better wear but we just can not afford to do that right now so we decide to settle for a new , powerful vacuum . I want a vacuum so strong it would suck the darn pad out from underneath the carpet ! I knit a lot and the fuzzy little hair from my eyelash yarn -lrb- similar to pet hair -rrb- be very difficult to remove with we old vacuum and it be drive we both crazy ! there be so many product out there , so I read many of the Amazon review and finally decide to get this one . the first time I plug it in , I could not believe how well it pick up -- fuzzy little hair and all -- even the birdseed that tend to accumulate near the back door disappear in one pass ! I be thrill ! it be relatively quiet , it be easily assemble , and I like the attachment . yes , it be rather heavy ; if one be petite , elderly , or need to get this thing up stair it could present a formidable problem . yet heavy equal powerful in this case , I get what I be hope for at a price I be willing to pay for it . because Amazon 's price be lower than list , I go ahead and order a extra belt and bag because I be eventually go to need they . the foot lever that lower the handle , yes , be a little annoying , but I can live with it -lrb- work better barefoot -rrb- . do not get this item if heavy be a problem for you , but if you need a vacuum that work -- this sucker work ! I hope it do not break and that I be just as happy with it six month from now . +190 Vacuum POS 5 my carpet be old but have finally get to the point where it be stain so badly , no matter how many time I clean it , the stain keep come back , not matter what I try , and I try everything ! as a final last desperate act , I look for a vacuum on Amazon , and after read all the rave review on this one , I buy it -- and it work ! after vacuum my carpet with this vacuum , I be finally able to get they clean with my steam cleaner . I guess my old vacuum be so feeble that it be leave so much dirt in the carpet that the cleaner just could not do it be job efficiently -- I think with all that dirt in there -lrb- I have three huge dog who live in the house , but love play in the dirt and mud -rrb- try to clean it be just make the stain worse . now my carpet be finally clean again and I be have to steam clean they only rarely , because this vacuum get pretty much everything up to the point where I do not have to clean it so often ! I be on the point of rip my carpet out and buy new carpet , so this vacuum be well worth the price -- it give my carpet a few more year lease on life ! +41 Vacuum POS 4 I do not often return to review purchase , but I do want to for this , because I do so much research myself . I think this model be exceptional for the class of vacuum that it represent . recently we household have migrate from a traditional push-vacuum to the combination of a Roomba and a handheld for corner dust bunny and misc . accumulation . it be a great evolution , my wife and I agree and the good old cannister vac that use to rule the roost be now , itself , collect dust in the closet . the point here be that the Roomba create a new need for we ; a need for a capable , powerful `` touch-up vacuum , '' and I think the Flex have get the position cover . people complain about the short battery life , and it be a legitimate complaint -- but realize that use this thing for much beyond `` touch-up '' be like use a weed trimmer to mow you entire yard -- it be miss the point . so , yeah , I wish the battery life be longer , but it be really not a problem , especially if you learn to switch the flex off as you roam from spot to spot . -lrb- see extended comment about this at the end of my review -rrb- the suction power be excellent , the noise level be fine -lrb- it be , after all , a vacuum -- so no it be not silent -rrb- . the dirt trap be a tad bit wonky , but I can live with it . -lrb- we have a lot of pet hair and it tend to get ball up in the dirt container , need to be pull out in a massive clump with two finder -rrb- where the Flex really win be with its wrap-around , uncoiling hose , a feature that I do not see on any of the competition . this feature rule the day , make the Flex basically a powerful miniature version of a full-size vacuum . and I tend to use it this very way -- with the motor\/base in one hand and the hose\/attachment head in the other hand , reach here and there , up and down , for rogue dust bunny . add to that the collection of attachment , and it be the current winner that I know of . one thing -lrb- besides battery life -rrb- that I would like to see change : Dyson be market a compete product -- the dc16 -- that have a power `` trigger '' instead of a switch . that concept , I think , be KEY to understand this new class of product . a power `` trigger '' would help conserve that precious battery life and that would be nice . -lrb- overall , though , I decide the Flex beat the Dyson hands-down , and I still hold that opinion , largely because of the rationale of the hose , -lrb- and a longer battery life , apparently -rrb- -rrb- in short , what some might call a portable or hand-held vacuum , I would call a `` miniature vacuum . '' and that be exactly what I be look for . update 10\/26\/2010 : I want to add a quick note that I be become somewhat increasingly anxious over the seemingly shorter-and-shorter battery life of the unit . be it just I ? I may do a test where I just turn it on and let it run down . I love everything else about the vac , but one need to be judicious and mindful of the short battery life . the biggest downside seem to be the long recharge time . basically overnight . I wish they would at least offer some sort of battery-replacement program . so far , I have find none . +155 Vacuum POS 5 the vacuum be exactly as describe , very quiet , excellent strong engine , do a super job without my have to lean way over . the posture and position of use this save one from ergonomic disaster . much less stress to the back and shoulder . a great bay , good price . thanks ... +892 Vacuum POS 4 I buy this because of back problem , it be so easy and convenient to use . glad I make the purchase . +98 Vacuum POS 4 I purchase this vacuum cleaner a little more than a year and a half ago . I have a cat that shed and do allot of research before purchase this one . I have have vacuum cleaner work great for a little while and they stop work completely so I do not review this one right away , even though I love it from the start . this one have hold up pretty well for a modern cleaner . the power paw attachment be great , but you can purchase it separately for $ 12.00 . the negative ? it do weight allot and hard to carry up & down the stair . both the power paw -lrb- replaceable -rrb- and the foot petal -lrb- not really -rrb- have break since I purchase it . +754 Vacuum POS 5 very well design to unfold for stair and under furniture , as well as straight for floor . powerful suction . handy recharge stand -- fold vacuum stand upright . recommend by consumer report . +986 Vacuum NEG 2 I be disgust with this this vacuum and especially Eureka - buy Eureka at you own risk . I have problem with the hose almost immediately after only light usage . the plastic end tip of the hose start to chip away as if it be make of thin glass . and even worse , the hose tear where it attach to plastic end-wand . by the time I get around to call Eureka , my warranty have expire so they tell I to go pound sand -lrb- even though this be a serious design problem -rrb- . another problem I have experience be , on occasion , when I turn the vac on , a huge dirt cloud be spew from the vac -lrb- even though there be no obstruction , and the bag be fresh and properly install -rrb- . I be not sure , but it may have be because I have accidentally have the hose\/floor setting on `` hose '' and the brush setting on `` floor '' . nevertheless , this be probably a common oversight and it should not cause dirt to be spew throughout you whole house -lrb- kind of defeat the purpose of have a vacuum -rrb- . I do a duct tape repair on the hose which work for a while , but eventually have to fork over a bunch of money for a new hose . unless Eureka have address they serious problem with this vac , and you have make the mistake of buy it , I highly recommend reinforce the hose\/wand connection with some duct tape ; or you too will soon be buy a new hose . another maddening issue be that the hose be way too short ; it should be about 3 ' longer - it will drive you crazy . I have own many vac in the past and have never have problem like these ; especially with hose fall apart . I will say that the vac do have excellent suction ; but that do not help you much if you vac blow dirt all over you house and the hose fall apart . Eureka owe everyone a refund with interest and a apology for this pile of rubbish that they continue to push on unsuspecting consumer . my rating of two star be too generous . +798 Vacuum POS 5 this be a great machine . we never know we carpet be not clean until we use the Miele Callisto . it be small , light weight , easy to maneuver , quiet , and work well on stair . the suction in the power-head be excellent and require very little physical effort to run on carpet or wood floor . Miele vacuum be quite expensive . we never intend to spend a king 's ransom for a vacuum cleaner . we cough up the extra money for this vacuum cleaner because American make product be rate so low . the quality we once expect from American make product just be not there anymore . +524 Vacuum POS 5 my wife and I have have this vacuum for at least 2 year , and maybe even 3 , and have be very happy with it . it still have great suction , and work just as well as when we buy it . we have 2 chihuahua in we place , so keep up with they fur seem like a full time job , but this have be great . I do not know if I would recommend this for someone climb up and down stair , because it can be heavy , but in we single story flat it work great . give that we could have spend many time more on a vacuum , I can say several year later that I be very pleased with we purchase ! +895 Vacuum POS 5 this be the best vacuum , in this price range , that I have ever have . I recommend it without condition . it be lighter in weight than my Hoover fold-away be , easier to clean and the upholstery attachment work really well for pick up cat hair off my sofa . -lrb- love the cat , hate the fur on everything ! -rrb- buy this one , you will not regret it ! +802 Vacuum POS 5 I have this vacuum cleanet for almost a year now . I initialy take my time to research and look for right upright vacuum cleanet for I . I previously own Eurika -lrb- work for 6 year be great , break , want to buy new the same model , but they renovate it make it much heavier , do not buy it -rrb- , second one be Hoover -lrb- great suction , very loud , break in 1 year , that just say it all -rrb- . I be buy cheaper one because I understand they will not last for long these day when everything make not to last , more of `` we will manufacture it so it be cute , brake fast , you have to buy new , because who will ever have time to think about repare '' . I always have one with bag and love it , then I decide to explore , take a chance and bough one canister from the store to try and see if I be go to like at and then I would just easily return if I do not . long story short bagless be not for I , too messy and too much time to clean . return it . go back to look for new upright with bag . I have a long experiance of use german product through my life . I be from Europe . I ' v learn to trust german quality . we have say that they stuff make to last . so at the time of the purchase I could also afford myself to spend more on vacuum cleaner then before . I read Consumer Report to start , then go to Amazon . my desision be to buy entry level Meile S7210 because I usualy do not see a point it pay extra $ 200-300 for some little extra feature . I do not have pet , but I be clean freak . I can vacuum almost every day . what I like about my new -lrb- now not so new : Meile be that it be very quite , filtration be great consider that the exit from filter be on top of the vacuum cleaner , so the air almost blow to the face . swivel fiture be very helpfull . different level of suction be great because I can switch to weaker suction to vacuum small rug . attachment be good , not perfect -lrb- wish there would be one for carpeted stair -rrb- , but easy to attach , cord be loooong , love it . I do not like only one thing : you have to undo the cord complitely in order to take the attachment tube out and use it . that be one thing I wish they could have do differenlty and make the cord storage on the side rather then on the back of the vaccum . also , the vacuum be on the heavier side of all that I ' v get before . that dose not bother I . because it almost slide better with a little weight , slower . they say that be how you suppose to vacuum - slow . I use to rush it : -rrb- not with this one . maybe it be like drive luxury car , you do not want to speed up , just injoy the ride : -rrb- I look at it as have a sort of work out . Works great for I . and the bag come out close without any dust involve outside of where it have to be . nice and clean , love it . Hope German quality will let I get the most out of my new toy . +724 Vacuum POS 5 I have a Dyson Animal and it have be my primary vacuum for the past 6 year . about 2 year ago the Dyson begin to be less effective in vacuum we carpet , which be low pile . we dust & vacuum several time per week as we have 3 kid , two husky and a long hair cat , so have a strong reliable vacuum be paramount . to give you a idea of how much we use we vacuum , we vacuum almost daily during shed season on both hardwood , area rug , stair & carpeting . we have about 1600sf of hardwood with a variety of rug . we household be a true test for a vacuum . I clean the Dyson - all port and point - regularly but figure maybe it need a `` tune-up '' as the suction seem almost nil . it be better upon a professional maintenance but not as great as it seem to have once be . I `` test drive '' some new Dyson model and really like the ball with the ability to get under cabinet but find the much shorter cord a hindrance and the smaller dust bin a pain to empty twice as much . I like the Electrolux but it be bulky and I have stair , so that be not a consideration . I have two neighbor who have sing the praise of Miele for year but I resist due to the cost . I have a Miele dishwasher and it do a incomparable job , so I decide to research the Miele . I read a few negative item , but predominantly the review be strong . so I `` test drive '' the Miele twist for a week . I be completely impress with so many feature I will never go back . here be the item I think make it superior to Dyson : 1 . the bottom of the vac be metal , the base have a full rubber bumper and the beater bar have a indent make it easy to cut off any string , hair or impediment . 2 . the dust bin do not need empty - no fun with pile of dog hair . while a bit more costly , the bag really contain the dirt , dust and hair and reduce my cleaning time . intially I love the fact the Dyson have no bag to buy and a easy-to-empty canister , but after a while it be not just a easy chore . empty the canister also mean clean the dust when you dump it , clean the rubber gasket prior to reassembly to be sure suction be maintain , and be sure that all the dust get empty and be not stick in the hole of the central perforated cone . 3 . the Miele vacuum have a short `` nose '' so it can reach under cabinet & furniture easily and it can lay flat . the Dyson can not do this . 4 . the Miele have a amazing ability to turn & swivel and be very easy to push . 5 . the Miele have a 35 foot long cord - can reach everywhere without unplug ! 6 . this Miele do not come with the hepa filter like the model that be $ 300 more , but the supply filter be a good one and can easily be replace with the same $ 50 filter the other model come with . 7 . the beater brush can be turn off leave only suction , which be great if you have a delicate surface to clean . so I splurge and keep the Miele . have have this Miele for over month now , I can truly say that this Miele be a much better quality machine physically and performance wise . I will keep the Dyson as a back up - to use on another floor in the house . but this Miele be now use daily because of its ease of use & the clean path it leave in its wake ! I highly recommend this vacuum . +361 Vacuum POS 4 the hose on we old canister vacuum wear out - naturally since you drag it around by the hose . we price a new hose only and find it would be more than this whole new vacuum . decide to give it a try . only negative be the cord storage - which be hardly a big deal . the power be good . +178 Vacuum NEG 1 i buy this because it be so highly rate by consumer report . i find it large and heavy , awkward to move . it be really cheap plastic . I have to have the fan belt replace almost immediately . the switch that you be suppose to move between rug and floor do not seem to do much of anything as far as i can tell . I would like a good , well design , sleek , lightweight vacuum cleaner so that vacuum would not be such a chore . +617 Vacuum POS 5 I be a smart buyer use consumer report and always do my research before I purchase anything . I just like read up on product that haven prove reliability and do they job , consumer report rate this Eureka model very well . the price be right and I like the attachment right on the vacuum , good idea . I have allegy and really want the dust , and pile dirt remove from my rug . I have purchase other light weight vacuum but the power be just not there to suck up the dirt . +705 Vacuum NEG 1 I receive this yesterday and have it in the UPS Store today . a very clumsy and overwrought product . not what I want at all . Heavy , with unnecessary part for my little Hyundai . plus you have to buy replacement filter -- a continue expense . +461 Vacuum NEU 3 I just purchase the vacuum and charge it for 3 day and I get it for clean my car . the suction be great at first and it completely die after 10 minute . it take I about 15 minute to clean my car and that say my car be almost spotless and just have to pick-up small crumb and I just barley have enough time to finish my car before before the vacuum die . there be a black and decker vacuum for automobile and you can plug it into the cigeratte lighter . the Model #pav -1200 W. if you have a semi-dirty carpet in you car you will not be able to finish it . they should have one that work off of electricity and then you could use a adapter in you cigeratte light to make it work . but the battery life be bad and I send mine back asap . bye the way my car be a Taurus . do not buy +481 Vacuum POS 4 I really like this vacuum . it be easy to assemble , very light , and pick up every inch of dog hair . my other vacuum stop work properly and the first time I use this , it fill both bin with dirt . we be allergy sufferer so I wash the filter after each use ... which be a pain . I do not realize I have to do this before I purchase it or I would have re-considered but I really do like it . I sweep off my furniture and it pick up dirt on the carpet really well too . +454 Vacuum NEG 2 mouth be TOO SMALL , WEAK MOTOR , TOO SIMPLE and where you roll the cord be in WRONG PLACE , should be BEHIND , NOT at the SIDE . and RETURN be DIFICULT , SO BETTER keep it for antigue . of course , if you do not turn on you car , do not work . its not good at all , its a waist money . do not buy . no sirve , no funciona , no pierda tu dinero . +148 Vacuum POS 5 I buy this vacuum for myself as a mother 's day gift a few month ago . I have the blue Miele canister vac before this one -lrb- the s-151 , I think -rrb- and I absolutely love it . it last 12 year and be actually still run , just not as powerful as it be when it be new . anyways , I try out the s7210 twist in a local store and decide to switch to a upright . it handle quiete nicely , it almost feel like it be self-propel when the carpet powerbrush feature be on . with the canister , I always feel like I have to put a ton of pressure on it in order to pick up the dog hair off the rug , but with this one it be so much easier . I have a german Shepherd and the twist pick up the hair like a charm . it do great on hardwood floor too , but you should use the bare floor function instead of the powerbrush to prevent scratch you floor up . note that there be a more expensive model available that feature a hepa filter , but truthfully , this one be just as good . it do have a slot to install a hepa filter if you want to , so you do have that option . I beieve the hepa filter be around $ 50 and need to be replace every year or so . that be not a investment I want to make . I have mostly area rug and hard wood floor , so I do not feel like I need one . some people complain about the price of the bag for Miele vacuum , but if you think about it , they do last a lot longer than say the one a Hoover use . I have never have a bag break on I when I take it out , they be extremely sturdy . I would say that I only use about 5 bag a year and I vacuum at least once a week -lrb- because of the dog hair -rrb- . overall , I be very happy with my purchase . Miele be probably the best brand out there when it come to vacuum . if you want something that be go to last , get the Miele ! one more thing : you should try it in a local store and then order it online . it will save you so much money ! +60 Vacuum NEG 1 it get hang up on everything , even where the floorboard be slightly uneven . it pick up mainly with the cleaning paper but I can not find much in the vacuum repository . sometimes it get in the middle of the room and stop for the longest time then start go in circle , all about the same size . I be not too happy with it +721 Vacuum POS 5 this be my second `` Boss '' vacuum and I highly reccommend this model ! it clean very well and have great suction ! the onboard tool be very handy and it be quick to switch from floor to hose ! the cord be long enough to reach many area without have to unplug it ! the only real negative I can think of be this be a very loud vacuum ! +995 Vacuum POS 4 i have several cat in the house , wood floor and linoleum kitchen . the little vacuum work pretty good ... probably not good enough for the price . i would be more impressed if it have a swivel head . it do not blow the lint and hair around , but do actually pick up pretty good . it lack suction to pick up small particle of cat litter , but all in all be not bad . the charge only last about 10 minute , and would be nice if it last just a few minute longer . my square footage be about 1500 foot . i do love the cordless feature and it do fold up nicely to charge ... +659 Vacuum POS 4 I be very happy with this vacuum . it be easy to assemble , look great , and it work very well . I really do not have any complaint and be very happy with my choice . I almost buy one that be $ 15 less but look cheap and do not have the add feature that this one do . +715 Vacuum NEU 3 great vacuum , really do a great job pick up the dirt , but it be a little heavy for the elderly . would recommend it for younger people . +89 Vacuum POS 5 impress with the extension tubing and little bag for the vacuum this unit come with . nice color and look . plug in my car and work fine , suction be not huge , but this be just a hand unit and not a shop vac . the suction be enough to clean out all the visible debris build up over 8-12 month in about 15 minute for the whole car . there be a further extension that pull out from the nose which be good for get down next to my seat in the crevice . feel solid like it be not go to break easily . Works and do what it should . . store in include bag in my trunk ready for next use . +786 Vacuum POS 4 it be compact , easy to clean out , and handy . not terribly impressive on either wood floor or carpet , but for the price , it be gist fine . I have a tough time clean the hair -lrb- we have longish stuff in we home -rrb- out of the roller bar . interesting idea : wash the filter clean after dump out the stuff collect - very green . not sure how long it 'll last . a relative have have one for a couple of year and be ready to move on to a more substantial and dependable vacuum . +522 Vacuum POS 5 I have own the 12 v. model for a couple of year and be well satisfy with performance . this newer 18v . machine be definitely more powerful , vacuum much longer on a charge , and have a number of design improvement such as the ability to fold up and to reach under low furniture . the only limitation I have note be the initial difficulty of take out the filter for cleaning . I have to return to the manual a few time before I remember how to do this . the operation be , however , quite simple and the filter be efficient . a worthwhile upgrade to a handy tool for floor and light carpet cleaning . +940 Vacuum NEG 1 I wish there be a no star option . we buy we boss about 10 month ago for light cleaning between the housekeeper come out . my wife complain after a week that it keep shut itself off so I take it apart and clean all the filter . I run it for a few minute and tell she it be fine now - do not think much of it . a week later she report the power paw stop work . a week after that she report the vacuum be shut itself off again . I clean all the filter -lrb- again -rrb- and give it back to she . the filter be not dirty , but I clean they anyway since it do the trick the last time . she say it be a pain and stop use the vacuum alltogether - go back to she old stick vacuum . fast forward several month - we now have a dog and it be time to break out the boss again . this time I take control -lrb- convinced my wife be do something wrong -rrb- . after apologize to she for think she be wrong , and apologize again for not return the vacuum while it be still under warranty I be now on a quest to buy a new vacuum . I be glad to read so many positive review - let 's see how those vacuum hold up after a few month of `` light housework '' . junk - very disappointed - very . I guess in some case you really do get what you pay for . +30 Vacuum POS 4 great vacume for the price . quick delivery . it be a bit heavy to lift , but overall - great product ! +878 Vacuum POS 4 this be awesome ... I hate sweeping , and now I do not have to . this go from tile to carpet with no problem . I have a large living area break into some odd corner , and this robot clean it all , albeit randomly and I can not figure out the pattern , but it get the room clean ! it seem to not get catch on too much . I have floor speaker with large basis , and it `` climb '' onto it , and sweep the dust off -lrb- it be like a half centimeter high base -rrb- . clean it be critical ... take a few minute at first to get the routine down , but go quickly afterwards . mainly empty the bin everytime , then every couple of time , pull the brush off and cut the hair out with a handy little letter envelope opener deal they provide . for those read this who hate the word `` maintenance '' ... the question be ... do you hate a few minute of maintenance after a robot clean you floor more that you hate sweep ?? lol ... I do not ! we 'll definitely be buy a Scooba as well next year ! +352 Vacuum POS 5 well after half a dozen use I can definitely say this be the best perform vacuum we have ever own . the price be right and the thing pick up everything in sight . it be heavier than most other vacuum , but if the brush be set to the appropriate height , vacuum really be not that difficult , it virtually glide along . vacuum we have have in the past have struggle to pick up dog hair from upholstery , not the Eureka 4870mz Boss . I spend a long time research vacuum and I be glad I do , for the money you will not find a better vacuum anywhere . +674 Vacuum POS 5 I have purchase Dirt Devil cleaning product in the past and have not be happy ... UNTIL NOW . the Dirt Devil MO9444 Vacuum Cleaner be AMAZING ! I use it for everything because it can take on any challenge ! it have extreme suction power , make pick-up quicker , and be super easy to clean . it be light enough for my two daughter -lrb- 10 & 4 -rrb- to use and they like to use it . I research this product type thoroughly and be a very happy customer . +119 Vacuum NEG 1 bought brand new . vacuum a small camper floor and the battery die . very poor battery life . should be cord . if it be cord I would give it 5 star . +160 Vacuum POS 5 best hand vacuum i have every own . have power and the pet hair tool actually work . lightweight . have ' t have it long but i like it . +174 Vacuum POS 4 \*\* I be only rating this 4 star for now since I just get it ; will adjust over time if need \*\* after see the copious amount of pine needle my christmas tree shed this year I decide it be time for a new vacuum . we current vacuum have be underperform anyway since we bring home two kitten a few month ago -lrb- bring we total to 2 large dog , and 3 cat -rrb- , so it be time . I have a short list of thing that be non-negotiable : it have to be less than $ 100 ; use a canister instead of a bag , and have a hose attachment . after check several website and read many review I decide on this one . this arrive yesterday , and we assemble quickly and easily . I have not vacuum for a few week , and w \/ 2 dog , 3 cat , and a christmas tree that mean that we carpet be pretty dirty . however , it be not so dirty that vacuum a 6x12 ' area should have fill up the canister , but it do . it be not all pet hair and pine needle ; this be very fine dirt that apparently the vacuum we buy last year -lrb- a eureka -rrb- leave deep down in we carpet . we have to dump the canister -lrb- which be average size -rrb- many time as we vacuum the house , but we carpet look and feel amazing now thanks to the deep cleaning this vacuum give . though the vacuum feel a tad heavy when you be use it the very powerful motor pull you right along and it be not a problem . it store very easily in the broom cupboard , and dump the canister be very easy . the only complaint I have it that the `` turbo brush '' tool be fairly useless on the upholstery we try it on . but that be not why we buy this model , and we will not use it that much anyway , so I be not really count it against this vacuum . +903 Vacuum NEG 1 if you plan on use for more then 10 minute do not buy this item . I charge it for 1 day and when I go to use it 10 minute later it die on I . I think it be defect so i call Black & Decker and they tell I that this vacuum only last 10 minute of vacuum time I be shock ! I have never hear of a Vacuum last only 10 minute . if Amazon would have put that important info i would have never buy this or let someone else buy it ! this be the worst vacuum ever please DO not waste your money ! +926 Vacuum POS 5 I buy this after get feed up with empty my canister vacuum and suck dust , and who know what else , each time . I just could not quantify spending as much money as I do only to inhale everything I would just clean out of my house . the end result be that I vacuum less when the canister begin to get on the full side because I hate the idea of have to empty it . so that be why I buy it in the first place . as soon as I take it out of the box I be pretty thrill with the purchase . all of the accessory attach to the unit securely and I have not have a single piece pop off on it be own even when lug it up stair , down stair , and put it in the back of my car . at the same time they be easy to put on and take off when you want . the only slight exception may be the power paw and the ` wide ' attachment for the hose . I have not have any problem with they but I can see how they might cause problem . the power paw be the least securely attach and the wide attachment be the most securely attach and slightly cover by the cord when wind up . pro : where do I start ? 1 -rrb- it be powerful . this be easily one of the most powerful vacuum I have ever use . it suck the litter right out of my litter-catcher-rug that I have in front of we cat box . I use to have to shake the rug out and vacuum the litter off the tile , but now I just pop on the wide attachment for the hose and go to town . 2 -rrb- it have as all the most practical attachment include plus the power paw . this pro be just about standard . all vacuum should come with the primary attachment and this one do and they throw in the power paw which be really great for stair ... just like they advertise it to be . as for the power paw , it rotate via suction . I have a bagless with this attachment and it would lose suction so quickly -lrb- pet hair in the filter -rrb- that this attachment be useless . on this vacuum the power paw be like a freak chainsaw no matter how much hair it suck up . 3 -rrb- it be easy and fast to switch from floor to hose setting and back again . I can literally go from vacuum the floor to use the hose in 5 seconds or less and I can go from vacuum the floor to use the hose with any attachment + the extension in 10 seconds or less and it only take very slightly longer to put it all back and continue vacuum the floor . go be the day for I that I do all my floor vacuum and then follow up with the hose . now I can do everything in one pass . 4 -rrb- the floor brush can be engaged\/disengaged with the flick of a switch for easy transition from carpet to bare floor . this be the first vacuum I have own that I can do this on and I will never go back ! vacuum bare floor while the brush be spin be like ... well ... it just do not work . all it do be turn everything on the floor into tiny projectile that be launch at my foot and shin . be able to turn off the brush ... it be one of those , `` finally ! '' moment for I . what I mean be , I can finally just use the vacuum on my bare floor instead of the vacuum\/broom combo . I use to sweep the bare floor up then follow up with the vacuum to get all the corner the the broom could not clear . now , because of this feature and # 3 , just the vacuum , easy peasy . 5 -rrb- it have a hepa filter that be easy to access for removal and installation . I have not have to replace it yet but I do open it up and remove it and install it just to see what it be like . Super easy . 6 -rrb- it have a light on the base for dark corner . this be good for unlit or not-well-lit area of the room . personally , I have find this more of a novelty than something I would require in a future vacuum purchase . 7 -rrb- the bag be easy to remove and install . again , this be just about standard . the last bagged vacuum I have be a soft top -lrb- the bag be inside of a zippered bag -rrb- so it be ridiculous to get the bag out and put it back it . it be the vacuum that put I off bagged vacuum . I go to canister and do not go back until now ... over a decade later . 8 -rrb- wide track . this be just a convenient feature . wider track = less pass . I have not , as of yet , have any situation where it be too wide to fit somewhere I need it to . 9 -rrb- it be a bagged vacuum . like I say on # 7 , I have be use bagless\/canister vacuum for over a decade now . I finally get so feed up with the dust cloud when empty they and tap out the filter so I would not have to spend another $ 20 so soon . I even make a special tool so that I could attach my filter to my drill and spin the dust that be pack so tightly in there out with centrifugal force . this , obviously , just make the dust cloud during canister empty worse but if I want the vacuum to have any suction it be necessary . even then , I would lose suction steadily as I suck up the cat hair . since I do not feel like dish out $ 300 - $ 600 for a canister vacuum that `` never lose suction '' yet still deal with the cloud of nasty when I empty the canister I buy this bagged vacuum . there be still the bit of dust that poof up when you detach the bag from the vacuum and there be a possibility of dust that puff out if you compress the bag but nowhere near the amount of a canister . if you be careful , there be no dust cloud at all , which be freak awesome . no more dust mask and goggles for I while empty canister ! 10 -rrb- last minute addition after write in my con . there be a second handle low on the vacuum for carry up stair . it make it so much easier to handle ... no pun intend . con : 1 -rrb- it be loud , as with every other vacuum I have ever own . not really a true con as all vacuum be loud but it be still advisory to wear hearing protection when use it . 2 -rrb- it be kind of heavy . this be not a con for I but my wife have some trouble with it when it come to stair . 3 -rrb- the handle be not as comfortable as it could be . although not entirely uncomfortable it be not as nice as some of they other model . 4 -rrb- the light on the base be not quite as bright as it could be . at first I think that it would be a really great feature but it be not quite bright enough to make a significant difference in visibility in my opinion . they could have put a much brighter system in here quite easily . Hope this help you with you decision ! +678 Vacuum POS 4 so far , so good . I be tire of spend a lot on vaccuum that do not pick up the dog hair -lrb- or much else -rrb- . I buy this base on consumer report review and have not be disappoint . it pick up the pet hair , and be a great price . it be a little heavy to push around , but nothing like the Kirby I use to own , and do not hinder I from use it . I do not know how long it will last , but for the price , I could afford to replace it with another frequently . it do the job . +939 Vacuum POS 5 my husband and I buy this handy little vacuum about six month ago and we use it almost daily . great suction , easy to empty , and the tool be extremely handy . this be the first small cordless vacuum I have ever own that have hold up to the small household chore I use it for with perfect dependability . great value for the price . would buy it again and again . +577 Vacuum POS 5 just purchase the Eureka Boss Smart Upright , base on a review in Consumer Reports -lrb- a `` cr best '' -rrb- . this vacuum have unbelievable suction !!! it pick up item my expensive Kirby miss and great on hardwood\/tile floor ! the attachment be easily accessible , too . you will not be dissappoint with you purchase . +937 Vacuum NEG 2 just get it today . I have second thought from some of the review , but order it anyway . a lot of the newer vacuum have -lrb- some -rrb- cheap plastic part . that the way thing be build these day . the have a few , but it look like they put the money into the good part . I mean , look at the price for a powerful vacuum . : - -rrb- this thing have a lot of suction . they also make a nice touch of put a handle on the hose which make it very easy to use accessory . the upholstery accessory work overtime . since I just get it today , I will need a little time to really use it . I will be back with update . oh , on another note ... I never read the paperwork ... just take this out of the box ... put it together in less than 3 min ... Update 7\/1\/2012 . I end up get rid of this thing . have try a few and they end up leak what you vacuum . too much mantainance . +816 Vacuum POS 5 the best thing about this vacuum be how light it be . very good suction as well . I have 4 indoor pet and it get the job do . nice set of attachment too . +591 Vacuum NEU 3 this vacuum be very heavy and would be a real hassle for someone with a two story house -lrb- fortunately , I do not have to lug this monster upstairs -rrb- . the bag fill up far more quickly than those of previous vacuum I have own . overall , I would say it be a `` ok '' vacuum . it do the job and pick up dirt well , but the weight make it cumbersome . not a vacuum to buy for you grandma . +47 Vacuum POS 5 six year ago when I be shop for a vacuum with a hepa Filter , the overwhelming favorite among both consumer and consumer protection organization be the Eureka Boss SmartVac 4870DT . Eureka 4870DT Upright Vacuum my experience have be consistent with the great review that help I make my decision . pro : great suction , the rotary brush can be turn off for use on hardwood floor , and the hepa filter seem to really work ! con : heavier than most . I be not even consider replace this vacuum , but I be consider purchase another to keep upstairs ! +333 Vacuum POS 5 i be search for a replacement for my kenmore cannister that lose its ooomph . after research consumer report i be just about set to buy the eureka 8340 series which be one of the top rate . after further research i find waay too many negative review in term of reliability and quality . make I wonder how this unit be top rate in the first place . one of the review mention the carpet pro series . it be supposedly make by the same folk as simplicity and ricarr . i have access to the simplicity upright and love it . after search the internet i find the best deal at allbrand direct . for $ 250 no shipping chg , they include 3 belt , 2 filter ,7 pc accesory set-15ft hose - bare floor , upholstery , ceiling , crevice tool and 2 extension . this be a great deal especially since i have stair to do . as for the unit itself = i buy the cpu-2t - 40ft heavy duty cord and 3 attachment - since i get sloppy and tend to run over the cord once in a while i think it be best to get this model - the 1t model have a light ,30 ft 2prong cord and no attachment . i have several pet - 3 cat and 2 dog and hair hair hair . i purposely leave one of my carpet alone until i get this unit . Dont let the 10amp motor turn you off - as soon as i plug this in and turn it on , it practically drag I across the room - its not self propel but the brush be so good it literally will feel like its pull you . basically in 1-2 pass the room be clean in 3 minute app 10x12 . no effort be need to push and pull it . it be 18 lb and i have no problem carry it up the stair where it quickly dispose on loose kitty litter . it also have its own build in resettable fuse if the unit overheat due to clog or full bag . although there be no bad full indicator , from past experience you ; ll know the bag be full when you look at the carpet . I be totally please with this unit . its not overly loud in my opinion . forget all those bargain deal and buy this unit . this might be you last vacuum purchase , even though other unit be 15 inch , you 'll make it up with speed . +850 Vacuum POS 5 this vacuum cleaner be by far the best value in sweeper that I have ever find - and I have have several different brand\/models over the past 50 year . I be so impressed by it that I be go to order a 2nd one for my business . +900 Vacuum NEG 2 Have have similar -lrb- in blue -rrb- model for 2 yr now , and this be probably the hardest to use of all the vacuum we have have over the year . all the control to adjust the height and bare floor or carpet be on the base and hard to switch . for instance my wife can not move the switch between bare floor and carpet , I have to do it . the heppa filter exhaust be a bad design as it blow the dust bunny away from the front of the vacuum . it be the noisiest vacuum we have ever have . hard to push on carpet compare with other I have have . for instance I have a 15 yr old Kenmore -lrb- which be actually a Panasonic -rrb- that be quiet and a joy to use that we relegate to the upstairs , that I be consider bring back down again . you buy cheap , you get cheap . +894 Vacuum POS 4 previous vacuum be a Eureka Optima 431A : bursh on\/off ; 11 lb and 11 inch cleaning path . reason for replacement 1 -rrb- plastic rear wheel wear down allow cleaning head to slide rather than role 2 -rrb- have to clean the filter with another vaccum to remove fine dust and carpet fiber . purchase at kohl with coupon 8 year ago for about $ 35 . so for that price I put up with extra cleaning\/vacuuming of the hepa filter and hard push because I do not believe they be anything better for the price . however , I find that with the Optima , I would put off vacuum because the Optima even with good suction be such a chore to push and clean . with the Optima 's aging , I do look at more expensive vaccum to find a easier filter\/dust cup cleaning setup but I feel the Bissel Cleanview for the price have great suction -lrb- report and actual -rrb- and ease of clean the filter system -lrb- sponge pre-filter only at this time -rrb- . I know canister be still messier than bag . I be lean towards a Hoover Tempo for very good review and bagged system . I know my house carpet and the amount of debris might have mean higher vacuum bag cost verse a bagless filter repalcement . the Cleanview helix be rate high for suction on carpet and exhaust emission by consumer report . I find one at target via a out of stock rain check for 20 % less regular price of $ 79 . so for $ 61 it be more appealing than the Consumer Reports recommend Dirt Devil featherlite because of less noise , better suction and appear better filter\/dust cup design - look like the Optima expose paper filter but twice the length . with the easy assembly and good fit of part , I be glad to get a great suction , easy to push and maneuver , a long cord at 27 ' mean I can vacuum a 1400 sf house with two outlet . I do like the cup design of grab and dump . and unlike have to vacuum my Optima 's Hepa Filter , the Cleanview 's sponge pre-filter be the only filter I have have to clean after vacuum the carpet several time . pro : great suction , easy to empty dust cap , ease of care for filter , ease of maneuvering , light con ; I prefer the Optima 's rubberized ergonomic `` o '' handle to the Cleanview 's , lack of brush on\/off when use hose . finally , as part of my carpet cleaning routine , I invest in a Hoover Max extract dual v wide path carpet washer . see my review . +587 Vacuum NEG 1 until someone can email I at cloudninesterling@hotmail.com or reply to this comment and tell I how they could rate this anything over a `` I hate it '' , I refuse to believe other be rate the correct product . I have have this vacuum for a year and have re-try it about a dozen time . no matter what setting I put it on -lrb- from bare floor up to high carpet -rrb- it simply do not pick up debris from the few carpet I have in my home . this vacuum do not work . I throw mine in the dumpster today . Mary Jennifer Pruim Age 43 Chicago , il +346 Vacuum POS 4 I buy this little vacuum for my brand new car , and I have be quite pleased with it . a lot of people on here be compare the suction power to something more powerful , like a Shop-Vac , and that be a little unfair -lrb- this thing be only use a 12volt power source after all -rrb- . also , you be suppose to free up the vacuum 's filter every once and awhile by turn the dial on the side of the unit , and that help tremendously . this be great for people who simply want to keep they car clean - it be not mean for heavy-duty application . +205 Vacuum POS 5 the Amazon\/B & D description be accurate . it do not show in the pic I see of it , but two of the attachment sit in a cradle that attach to the unit . you can remove the vac from the cradle , but I have never find reason to do so while use it -- and have the two most use attachment always there be nice . it be not uncomfortably loud , from similar item in store I have turn on , it seem a bit quieter than average . you hearing\/mileage may vary . read the instruction fully . it state you need to charge it up to 5 time -lrb- from a empty or nearly empty charge -rrb- before the battery hit its stride . they be correct ! the first time I charge it over-night , the battery maybe last a combined 7 minute -lrb- and I be be generous -rrb- . I be only on the 4th charge cycle but each time I have see steady improvement in battery life . the instruction state B&D; have already pay the battery recycle fee -lrb- obviously include in the price of the unit -rrb- ; there be a toll-free number to call where another company will send you a prepaid package to send the battery back when they finally do die . it be free of charge -lrb- you pay for it -rrb- , and in this crazy world it might not seem like a big deal -- but call and have the battery recycle properly . -lrb- -lrb- and I be not some Prius drive hipster drive a car that use more `` natural resource '' to manufacture than a standard petrol power vehicle - it be just the right thing to do -rrb- -rrb- +400 Vacuum NEU 3 this vacuum have good suction when fully charge , it only run for maybe 15 minute before it be dead . then you have to charger it over night for a full charge . I like my black and Decker SPV1800 much better , since I already have a bunch of battery from the leaf blower , lopper , chain see , and weed whacker . +684 Vacuum NEG 2 buy this vac after read review and check consumer report site . the suction be terrific and it seem to be build by the Romans . it would likely be very suitable for a large house with thick wall to wall carpet . however , my house have hardwood floor with fringed area rug . the vacuum be so powerful that you have to be very careful around rug fringe and it be so heavy that it be very tiring to use on hardwood floor -lrb- although it offer this setting -rrb- . the foot pedal be extremely stiff which be very annoying , and the cord fastener -lrb- which pin down the last bit of cord when you wind it up for storage -rrb- be so stiff that it be unusable . I be search for something more suitable for my house . +606 Vacuum NEU 3 very good for clean floor and rug . strong vacuum , good brushing action . it be a bit of a workout though . heavy and awkward . I think it would be much easier to use if the motor be close to the handle . +819 Vacuum NEU 3 I have not yet use the car vacuum . the instruction seem complicate to I . I think it would be a unit that do not need so much attention to prepare it to use . plus , it be make in China . thus , I question the quality . +999 Vacuum NEG 1 this have be the worst of all the vacuume we have ever own ! the dirt\/dust be constantly get into the other filter compartment and cause the vacuum to lose suction . we be have to empty both the regular dirt part as well the filter part every time . uhg ! what a mess and what a pain ! I wish I have buy this locally so that I could return it . do not waste you money on this one ! +665 Vacuum POS 4 I think maybe potential purchaser would like to know that the fhv1200 Flex Vac run for a little over seven minute continuously before the motor start to slow down and lose power . -lrb- never run a nicd power product completely dead , some of the battery cell will `` reverse '' and be permanently damage . -rrb- the time to fully recharge after run the vac this long be about 20 hour -lrb- figure a full day to keep it simple -rrb- . the charger be a small wall adapter type . I think the power be very good for a rechargeable vacuum -lrb- a little more than you average `` dustbuster '' -rrb- . as a example , it will easily suck up cat litter , small pebble , and pot soil , but will have trouble suck up a glass marble or penny . I do not think mine be too loud . it have that high speed `` whine '' sound combine with the sound of rush air , but the combination be somewhat muffle . it definitely do not sound weak . it almost sound like a corded vac . the fhv1200 smaller than you might expect , and the build quality be very good . I be not normally fond of black and Decker , but I like this little machine . ... and the blue led charge light be cool ! Minus one star because it take a looooong time to recharge ... +759 Vacuum NEG 1 end up pick one of these up on a door buster sale . -lrb- ... -rrb- I have a old 2.0 HP Shop VAC I have be want to replace with something more powerful . you would think this Stanley should blow it out of the water with 5.5 HP . it do not . the old 2.0 HP Shop VAC have better suction than this pricey Stanley . not to mention the Stanley still maintain the same narrow 1.25 inch pickup hose which become a issue when it get clog . I re-box the Stanley and be seriously consider return it and get my -lrb- ... -rrb- buck back . total low end junk vac despite the fancy stainless steel . I be go to be buy a craftsman or ridgid . +967 Vacuum NEG 1 I use the `` boss '' 6 time and the belt break . I be amaze that when I go to replace it I find that it be paper thin . -lrb- I have to go to 4 store before I find a replacement at Wall Mart , and they only have one because I be sure it break all the time -rrb- . I feel the it be also big and bulky . I also find that it be hard to release the upright position with the foot pedal , it be like kick start a motor cycle ! steer clear +801 Vacuum POS 5 I love this vacuum ! it have great suction power and the attachment be very useful . a great price since we be expect to pay over $ 100 for a new vacuum , this be a deal ! my husband do not like have to clean the canister , so that be the only downside . he be not use to clean a bagless vacuum . I would recommend this product as a great buy . +582 Vacuum NEG 2 we be on we 2nd one of these . the first vacuum have the foot pedal come off frequently and and issue w \/ the height adjustment . we take it back to the retailer within 90 day for a replacement , per instruction from the Eureka support hotline . the 2nd vacuum be better , but have issue . 1 -rrb- hose be too long on bottom by design , so it fall out of the cradle when not be use , so you have to pull excess slack back and make a loop at bottom . 2 -rrb- it go through belt quickly , if you suck up a sock or other , you have milli seconds to turn the power off , before the belt burn and break . 3 -rrb- if you bump the front plastic bumper , then it will start rub and make noise , then you have to pull the plastic back out . 4 -rrb- hose broke\/coming apart at connection to straight attachment , after 2 year .5 -rrb- belt clutch slip , when upright , you shut off the brush for hard floor cleaning . you find it spin when you do not expect and possibly scratch the surface or wear carpet in place . a major independent consumer magazine give this high mark , and usually I agree with they on product , but not this time . prior to this vacuum , my last Eureka Boss last 15 year , and work well , infrequently need belt . I do not think we will make 4 year w \/ this vacuum before throw it away . +224 Vacuum NEG 1 I purchase this to pick up cat litter from wood floor . the suction be so weak that I have to use the beater bar on wood floor ; even then it often require several pass to pick up litter . just when you think it have finally suck up the litter or other debris , it will spit it out a few pass later or if you even slightly jar the vacuum . very disappointing ! I wish I have return this piece of crap when I could . I be look for a replacement and will be more careful to research Amazon review specifically re cat litter and hardwood floor -lrb- live and learn -rrb- ! +53 Vacuum POS 5 I recently purchase this vacuum to take with I on vacation . I be look for a small vacuum with a hose that be either cordless or rechargeable and affordable . it be even smaller than I expect , which make pack it very easy . it also work well with the space-bag we use for we clothes and bedding . I be very pleased and would certainly recommend this vacuum . +568 Vacuum NEG 1 I do not know how they rate this product so high . I never buy any vacuum like this before . every single accessory be not able to stay on the behind . they drop everywhere once unse it include the hose . it be end up in the trashtruck 1 month after I buy it . thanks God I do it ! +96 Vacuum POS 5 I have only have the vacuum a month , and so far so good . good suction , wand attachment strong and useful with various head option . Easy to assemble and ready to go . Great on carpet , good on hard wood . +749 Vacuum NEG 1 I purchase this for use on stair ... use it about a dozen time , and the motorized brush completely quit working . the vacuum be run and there be suction , but no brush . not much use . worked pretty great up to that point too ! not a very quality product - save you money . +691 Vacuum POS 5 wife love this machine . Works prefect , quiet , and fantastic suction . love the turn knob to direct all suction to tool . we have go back to a bag type which this be because its a cleaner operation . just take the full bag out and throw away ... no messy canister to shake out and dig into try to clean out and get dirt and dust all over one self . Amazon price be the lowest but I do pay for 2 day shipping because the wife need in ASAP du to we old Sanyo Vac break down . +245 Vacuum POS 5 I have allergy to just about everything , paticularly dust . I have switch my upright to the Oreck use the hypoallergenic bag . the upright I use originally seem to be do the job , however , ten minute after vacuumm I notice dust particle settle on the furniture and everywhere else . shortly thereafter I have a migraine . since I switch to the Oreck , I no longer have to dust everything after vacuumm and have reduce my allergy symptom significantly . the Oreck contain the dust particle in the hypoallergenic bag , be light weight and flexible enough to vaccum in tight area . love it , love it , love it !!! +189 Vacuum POS 5 have try 6 or 7 battery operate vacuum 's over the last 10 year , by far and away this unit be the best I have see . just buy a second one for a weekend home . +619 Vacuum POS 4 I buy this vacuum because I be on a tight budget and still desperate for a reliable vacuum that would actually suck things up . the first time I use it , I be euphoric ! I could see the dirt jump around on the carpet while the vacuum be still a foot away , the suction be that strong . I be not as crazy about it on hardwood floor , but I do love the attachment . the rotate upholstery brush be great . the best part about use this vacuum be the fact that it do not spew dust back into the air . I have very bad allergy , and I could not use my old vacuum ; my husband have to use it when I be not in the house for a few hour . but with this machine , I vacuum the whole house and then realize I have not even sneeze once . awesome . I would still like to get a Oreck someday when I can afford it , but for now this little number will do the trick . +714 Vacuum POS 5 I live in a small ny studio . this vacuum be perfect . its powerful and small enough to store . definitely recommend it . +381 Vacuum POS 4 at first I be a little disappointed in this ; it run out of charge about 15 minute after 21 hour of pre-charging as recommend by B&D; . however , after about 5 use it do seem to last longer -- about 20-22 minute for I . it be design to : 1 -rrb- be keep in a kitchen for flour , sugar , oatmeal , cereal , and other spill that can be easily pick up 2 -rrb- clean up spill cat litter that you spill ; litter that you cat kick out of the pan when do he thing ... 3 -rrb- sit next to tool bench or woodworking area where moderate mess be a sure thing 4 -rrb- pick up pet hair from the place you know you pet like to sleep\/lay in -- go there vacuum the place , return it to the charger . I would give it 5 star if it have be design to ALSO use a electrical cord like my weed-eater unit by B&D; -- then it would be the best of both world . BOTTOM LINE : everyone would like a small and lightweight vac that last for 1-2 hour per charge , that we can carry around the house to replace the armored-tank that we have to drag around ... THIS AI not it folk ... Works great for what it be design to do ; do not work great for what it be not design to do ... +730 Vacuum POS 5 I think by now , most get the point , this be not a full size vac , not a shop vac , etc. . . BUT what it be , be a pretty decent vacuum in a small size . I be able to suck up lot of dirt and even bit of gravel , so I be happy . sure it take a few pass , but I choose this over have to dig up quarter at the local car wash . my recommendation , get it , it be not as strong as a regular home vac -lrb- duh -rrb- , but it be definitely strong enough to pickup most particles\/dirt . +405 Vacuum POS 5 just get mine . I order it because of it be portability and the flexible hose with the brush tip crevice look tool . I be not disappoint . I love it for crevice , along my countertips\/backsplashes , my wicker\/rattan furniture , louvered door , computer equipment , stereo equipment , statue and figurine , picture frame , etc. etc. . it clean where a dust rag or a larger vac hose and brush just will not reach . and it portable . I love this thing . I can not wait to turn it loose inside my car . get 's around a half-hour on a charge -lrb- be hope for a little more -rrb- , but I can live with that . I never use it that long at any one time anyway . Update : it be December and I just order one of these thing for a Christmas gift . one of the recipient 's room be a music room full of instrument and equipment that need dust . they be go to love this thing . +74 Vacuum NEU 3 this vacuum could use slightly more power . I would be willing to pay slightly more to get more power . it be also heavier than I think it would be : the manufacturer should come out with a new model that be lighter . I find it -lrb- as a senior citizen -rrb- , slightly difficult to open . the price be right however , and it will do for the time be . I use it like a dust buster , but you do not have to bend over . +328 Vacuum POS 4 like Georgia Girl , I have have the same Hoover Portapower since the early 80 's . I really just want a new one because my old one be so scrappy look , and I have have to repair the little plastic button that click the attachment in place , etc. . I look at new one in the 90 's -lrb- before such easy on-line research and shopping -rrb- but I do not like the model they have out then -- I think it be orange and goony look . it be funny that the Portapower now look exactly like the one from 1981 , but black instead of beige . but I be disappointed in what James say , about the springy short hose . that sound like a new feature that they should have more thoroughly vet . -lrb- and I be disappointed that Hoover be unresponsive to James ' input about it . -rrb- but I would not really love put my old hose on my nice new vacuum . do anyone think it would be possible to clamp the end of the hose from here to there and stretch it out ? or be it a unmalleable material ? I think I will still get this one . I see there be a home model -lrb- c2094 -rrb- but it seem to not be very readily available on-line or elsewhere , where this `` commercial '' model , 3000 , be all over the place . glad I read the review , everyone -- thanks . +727 Vacuum POS 5 I have no idea where the bad review be come from , people must be expect a house vacuum cleaner haha . this vacuum work perfect for a vehicle . the suction be very good ... it even pick up penny , dime , and small rock on the carpet . I would recommend this highly +868 Vacuum POS 4 I have only use this vacumn once so far but have to say that I be impress at the amount of dust and dirt it pick up . my floor be not that dirty-as far as I could tell and I have just vacumn about 2 week prior before my other vacumn break . it effectively do what it be mean to do and I be very happy with it so far . here be to hope it last ! +755 Vacuum POS 5 we spend a long time research vacuum before decide on the relatively unknown Carpet pro . despite the lack of consumer review , we choose it over several Hoover model in we price range because we question they durability -lrb- we be so tired of buy a vacuum and have it die month in to own it ! -rrb- . all we want be a basic vacuum , nothing fancy , that would hopefully last for many year . I think we have find it in we Carpet pro . it have amazingly strong suction , be actually pretty quiet , and we be almost five month in and have not fill up the first bag yet ! I be puzzle by the negative review on its performance off carpet - why would you buy this type of cleaner to use on wood\/tile ? maybe I be old fashion , but I sweep my tile floor and just vacuum the rug ! anyway , it be a terrific vacuum , a rarity in this price point . con ? well , it be big and yellow , but it be a vacuum , not a piece of art , so who care ? also , the suction be so strong , I can not really use it on my smaller throw rug , so I have to shake they outside or onto a larger carpet . +15 Vacuum POS 5 I buy this vacuum about 4-5 year ago and it be just now die on I . I be really happy with it and I plan to buy it again . I be pretty obsessive about the condition of my home so it get a lot of use . for some reason the spin brush on the vacuum stop work even though I change the belt . for the money , I do not mind buy it every five year . I be not sure that any other vacuum out there last much longer . it work great on bare floor as well as carpet . the key be to make sure you push the brush control till you hear it click . it be harder to do than you would think but it work . +312 Vacuum POS 4 we like the sweeper . it be lightweight & powerful . the only negative be that the hose section come apart easily while in use . the manufacturer should design another way to keep the section together - perhaps a pop-in button system so that once put together , the section will not come apart until you push in on the button and twist to release each section . +761 Vacuum POS 4 have not be use this a ton , but when I use it , it suck stuff up like crazy ! the dial be fairly easy to use and adjust . because of other comment about the part be fragile , I have try to pay attention and so far nothing have break . I like all the different adjustment , but wish the handheld cord be a tiny bit longer . it be a heavy vacuum cleaner , but I guess that be a sacrifice to be make for something so sturdy . overall , very good and I would recommend it with the above caveat +66 Vacuum POS 5 this be the 2 ` nd vacuum I have ever own . I have a studio apartment so there be never a need to have a huge vacuum since I do not have a lot of space . my stick vacuum finally kick the bucket so , I need a new one . I come across this vacuum and be go to order from target but decide to order from Amazon since they offer free shipping . let I first say that I order this on a Thursday and it be deliver on Saturday ! after open the box assembly take about 10 minute -lrb- easy & clear instruction -rrb- . once I start clean I could not believe my eye . compare to my other vacuum this thing be amazing ! it pick up everything on my rug , kitchen , & bathroom floor . I do not have the chance to use the attachment but , I be sure they will come in handy in the future . overall , for my need , I think this be a great purchase . +576 Vacuum POS 4 to start understand that this rating be for a vacuum that be $ 80 in most place . I be not review a Kirby or a Dyson or some other high dollar vacuum . that say , know what I know now about the Bissell helix Cleanview , I would not spend hundred of dollar on one of those other model . a vacuum for most be a tool to remove loose dust , dirt and object from you carpet . this vacuum do that well beyond what I would have expect at any price , much less at $ 80 . the first run through a 16x14 family room fill the container 1 and 1\/2 time . I have vacuum with my old vacuum immediatley prior to run the Bissell through . 1 and 1\/2 container of leave behind dust and dirt and pet hair that I could not see with my eye . what more do you need to know ? it do the job a vacuum be suppose to do . some of the other complaint be valid I suppose . it have a somewhat cheap plastic feel -lrb- mine be hold up fine after 6 month in a house that be not easy go on anything -rrb- , the hose could be slightly longer but it be still functional . the only other complaint and the one that take my rating down a star be one other have experience . the belt break after about 3 month of use . the belt be easy to find at we local big box store . 5 short philip screw and a small bit of dexterity have the belt replece in about 5 minute . if I have to replace the belt every 3 month at a cost of about $ 1.50 per belt I still would not mind . consider it maintenance . know this I would not hesitate to by this vacuum again . all thing consider , for the money and the performance , this be a fantastic deal . +822 Vacuum POS 5 I love this vaccuum cleaner , i buy it fro my honda odyssey & it work perfectly as i want . great product highly recommend . +970 Vacuum NEG 1 I purchase this vacuum to use on we boat . the only good thing about it be that it could be plug into one of we auxilliary outlet . the problem be that there be not enough suction to even pick up a dog hair ! +171 Vacuum POS 5 not the most powerful vacuum but it do get dog hair off the floor . not mean to replace you regular vacuum . I like mine . +706 Vacuum NEG 1 we buy this vacuum after wear out a older Hoover . we have high hope . maybe if we have spend a lot more money we could have get a better vacuum , but we old one cost we less than $ 60 and have great suction power until it finally die . the problem , as state with another reviewer , be the foam filter and the filter inside of it . once they be dirty , which happen rather quickly , you have to wash they out and then you have to wait for they to completely dry before you can vacuum again . if they have any dirt\/dust in they , then you lose a great deal of suction power . the brush seem to work well to remove thing from the carpet surface . but with no suction power , I can feel that the carpet be still dirty . and the brush pick thing up , but do not seem to actually brush the carpet surface . you know the line you get in the nap of the carpet as you vacuum ? even with the lowest setting , I do not see these . you can not get through a vacuum session with this machine without need to wash the filter . I do not need to have one more thing to clean . I do not have the time to wait to get my cleaning do . my husband 's dust allergy be intensify now that this be we vacuum . the dirt canister be easy to empty . I can not reccommend this vacuum to anyone , especially those with child . it just do not do the job . I 'll have to find a different tool . +374 Vacuum NEU 3 I think my title say it all . this be not in the same class as a simplicity , Dyson , or Oreck . but then , it be about 1\/3 of the price of one of those similarly configure vacuum . when one evaluate this model , one have to compare it to Hoovers , Bissells , Dirt Devils , etc. . base on my experience with those brand , this vacuum rank ahead of the class . frankly , it suck . but it suck very well . better than the Hoover Supremes I have have . as for the weight , well yes , it be heavy but not any moreso than the Hoovers or Bissells I have own . and besides , the weight be list in any advertisement or be apparent at time of physical purchase . I be 6 ' 200 pound and in decent shape . the weight be not a issue for I . but for someone half my size , I can see where it would be a pain . if that be the case , you 'll need to look at more expensive model -lrb- that be lighter -rrb- to get the sort of power that this have . in any case , the attachment work as well as any , the cord be just as obtrusive as the other , and the plastic design look just as attractive and feel just as cheap as hoover . it be more powerful than other in it be class . aside from that , everything be pretty much the same . my only fear be that the belt will break easily , as it be terribly thin and appear very flimsy . but I do not know that for a fact . I 'll amend this review if that be the case . if you budget for a vacuum be $ 300-500 , then by all means buy a simplicity . if you budget be $ 150-300 , buy a refurbish simplicity from a reputable dealer . but if you , like I , be satisfy with a ` Chevy ' and have no problem replace it after 5-10 year or so , this might be the best deal for you . by the way , I pay $ 118 with free shipping for this . I might have pay $ 10 more but that would have be my limit with this class of vacuum . +551 Vacuum NEG 1 this Item want pick up a gain of sand . Power cord fall out easily . clean bag be very messy . ... waste of money and time . +84 Vacuum NEU 3 suction be pretty strong , which be good . it be 99 % plastic which make it seem flimsy , which be bad . and the power paw already will no longer spin . come on , Power Paw ! let 's go ! I have no idea why it break but I think it get some hair stick in it . I try clean it out but it still will not go . so ... suction good , attachment lame . not bad for a cheap vac but I probably would try another vacuum if I have it to do over . +871 Vacuum POS 5 a terrific little appliance ! have a lot of power for its small size and be easy to use and empty ! +600 Vacuum NEU 3 Works well on regular wall to wall carpeting . on bare floor or thin carpet , it blow dust and dirt everywhere - even when on the correct setting . I think the dust\/dirt be come from inside the machine , since the volume of dirt on my floor look like so much more than I be try to pick up in the first place . very annoying . +764 Vacuum POS 5 Works great ! clean up after my pet wonderfully ! it be amazingly easy to put together and use , I be very satisfy with my Bissell ! +803 Vacuum POS 5 it have excellent suction , easy to take apart\/put back together , easy access to dirt cup , everything do what it be suppose to do . +844 Vacuum POS 4 this vacuum work much better than we last bagless vacuum . it do clean the floor well , bare and carpet . the con be that be very heavy and the hose be short . to vacuum my step I have to do half with the vacuum at the top of the step and half from the bottom . +282 Vacuum POS 4 we buy this to use at the beach house . it have great suction , and work like a dream . it be heavier than I expect , but that would not stop I from buy another one . +991 Vacuum POS 5 I purchase this vacuum two year ago after do much , much homework first . review throughout the internet be very good and after use it for a year ... I be very pleased . my daughter move just after receive it and she dog loss quite a bit of hair . -lrb- she have a nervous condition -lrb- the dog -rrb- . if it could do the trick with that ... it win I over . it do quite well and I end up purchase one for she to take to she new place . she love it too ! +348 Vacuum POS 5 I do not often review something unless I be disappointed with it , so for I to take the time to write a review , something have to be really exceptional . I can not believe how much I love this vacuum . everything about it -- folding design , suction power , length of time it run on a full charge , the way it pick up pet hair in my house , how light and maneuverable it be -- I just do not see how you can improve this thing ! I have have a couple of eureka power stick type thing that be cordless and work okay , but nowhere near the power , durability , and build quality of this . for $ 69 you can not beat the convenience of not have to drag out you main vacuum . +653 Vacuum POS 5 I be look for another car vac make by Black & Decker because the one that I have before this one be still work okay but be old as dirt . this Black & Decker work just as great as the old one that I have ; it suction the dirt up extremely well in those hard-to-reach place -lrb- because there be a small tube that extend out of the nose -rrb- , have a long cord that will extend far enough back to get the back corner of a suv , and plug into the cigarette lighter so that you do not have to worry about the battery go dead . the pivot nose be a add bonus . Black & Decker have do it again , and I would highly recommend this product !!! +897 Vacuum POS 4 I love this little vac . it be easy to use and store out of the way . I use it on my stair , kitchen floor , and foyer . I be pleasantly surprise with the out come ; it be just what I be look for . the only downside for I be have to empty it . it be a little awkward have to hold it over the trash to empty while the lid try to close . I think if the lid stay open while be empty it would be much better . that con be very small in comparison to what you gain from this vac . +855 Vacuum POS 5 I have have many `` top of the line '' vacuum and have like all of they . however , the Miele S7210 twist upright impress I more than any of the other . it be a little heavy , so if you be go up and down stair you may not like it . however , it be very maneuverable - that be the twist aspect . it have great suction . but I like most the hose tool feature . it be so easy to get the hose from the vacuum port and it extend very easily . the instruction warn to never use it without its tool as the wand end itself be very sharp and be easily damage . I would agree with that . the one drawback that I see with this be that you have to purchase a accessory pack to get other end than a crevice tool , small suction end , and brush end . to get a larger bare floor tool you need to get it individually as well as some other . there be a car care accessory kit . as far as cost , this be sell at $ -lrb- . . -rrb- with free shipping and that make it a very good deal . oh , I almost forget , it be very quiet compare with other vacuum I have use . +268 Vacuum NEG 1 I buy one of these about 6 week ago . I have give it very little use and it have already lose suction - almost completely . another thing be it be extremely loud . it should come with earplug . a shame , really . just one of the many plastic item which will quickly end up in a landfill and stay there for age . +518 Vacuum POS 4 we have have one for year , we need another one for the second floor as repeat haul up and down the stair have hurt the old one . I have purchase a huge stock of filter and bag for this model so decide to go with it - not to mention that it be still a consumer digest best buy . no issue whatsoever , it be probably a little noisy but we be use to it - have not owner another vacuum model in over 6 year . the additional accessory that have a roller attach to the hose be great for carpeted stair . you can not go wrong with this solid piece of machinery . +989 Vacuum POS 5 we buy this in 2004 to replace a Hoover upright that constantly eat belt and roller . we be a bit leary about the glowing claim back then but in the 7 year we have own it , we have replace nothing but bag . it pick up as much today as when it be brand new . that be reliability that you should get when you spend $ 150 + for a vacuum . I have read the review that claim the plastic break . we have see no breakage of anything plastic and it be pretty resilient to the normal banging into furniture . it also have a good long cord to you do not have to keep unplug and move it to another outlet . the only two negative , and they be minor , be it be a bit on the heavy side and and there be a flip knob that do not hold one of the attachment to the unit very well . it have the tendency to fall out . so we just put it away where we know where to find it when we have to vacuum stair . you can not go wrong with this vacuum and for the money it be the best on the market . we have try Hooever , Electrolux and even the ultra expensive Oreck . +517 Vacuum POS 4 I have be use this vacuum weekly for about two month . this vacuum have very good suction power and do a great job cleaning my carpet . I find it easy to push and maneuver . the dirt cup be easy to remove and clean . the washable filter be easy to access and clean . there be also a replaceable filter that be easy to access on the side of the vacuum . the only drawback I can find be with use the attachment . if pull too far , the articulate hose will cause the vacuum to tip over if the user be not hold onto the vacuum . however , the hose with the extension rod do provide a pretty good reach so this should not be too much of a problem . if you plan on extensive use of the hose and attachment , you should probably choose another vacuum . however , if you be like I and need a vacuum mainly to clean carpet and will only use the attachment occasionally , then this be a very good vacuum for a very good price . +300 Vacuum NEG 2 this would be a absolutely perfect hand-held vac if the battery CHARGE WOULD LAST more than 10 minute !!! or , if you do not have to charge it for at least 21 hour ! or , if there be a spare battery you could instantly swap . what be B&D; think ?! the infomercial be misleading , show the vacuuming of drape , etc. . it be no wonder that nowhere be there mention of how long you can expect the battery charge to last - not on the infomercial , NOT in the instruction - nowhere ! I think B&D; know they have get a bad product , but be pawn it off on we , anyway . I be return mine . too bad . it would be perfect , otherwise -lrb- for a filthy bagless vac , anyway -rrb- . +747 Vacuum NEU 3 I buy this to replace a Oreck for whole house use , but it just do not measure up . I end up have to buy a Dyson 23 turbinehead to get the job do . however , this little vac do have it be good point . pro : Lightweight simple to use . metal wand . Extra long cord . Fair suction for bare floor . can go bagged or bagless . con : not enough power to really clean rug or carpet . must purchase separate pack for comfortable carry and tool storage . no cord storage area . Tiny bag capacity . fail to pickup pet hair on rugs\/carpet . I would like to know why Hoover call this a `` commercial '' vacuum . I can not imagine a commercial enterprise depend on this vacuum . I have to think this be simply a marketing ploy and I fall for it . this would probably be fine for a single person with no pet in a small apartment with a few throw rug over a hard surface . +476 Vacuum POS 5 this be my 3rd . Oreck and would not own anything else . . be very hard on vacuum think I would try the less expensive model . . it have great suction and lightweight . . it be a tad noisy , only have one speed , high , afraid it might scratch my wood floor but do not , and cord be bigger and longer and a bit cumbersome . . however , it be commercial . . for the price I be very satisfied ... oh , it be kinda power drive which make the mundane process quicker . +288 Vacuum POS 4 this item be purchase for a gift . it be not know at this time whether or not the product be good . the order and ship process be great . +781 Vacuum POS 5 this small lightweight vacuum be great . I use this vacuum 4-5 day a week . it have a lot of power and get the job do fast . I use it for my car and truck . this Flex Vac compact vac cleaner be worth every penny . +197 Vacuum NEG 2 have I review this vacuum after the first use or two , I would have say `` wow , what a vacuum for a great price ! '' ... BUT ... now that I have own it a month , my review be different . it still be a ok vacuum , but the really bad part about this vacuum be that the filter start to fill in very fast and then the vacuum have very little suction and it just chase the crumb across the carpet instead of suck they up . we do not have pet and we do not wear we shoe in the house - we have a fairly clean house . however , after vacuum two or three time there be very very poor suction and I need to clean out all filter thoroughly . this be a big disappointment to I , and something I never experience with my other Bissell . I would never buy this vacuum again , and I would not recommend it to other . there have get to be a better vacuum out there in this price range . +731 Vacuum POS 5 we buy this vacuum to replace we old vacuum , which do not seem to do a good job . we be consider get a Dyson due to all the hype , but I come across this one and think I would try it out and save some money . besides , if it do not work for we , we could return it . well , let I tell you , this vacuum will not be leave we house ! it work great , and the suction be amazing . one feature we be look for be be able to turn off the roller brush since we have Berber carpet and it be recommend to not use a brush to vacuum it . the switch be easy to operate . the power cord be much longer than we old vacuum . I have be use bag less vacuum for as long as I can remember , so I be not sure about the expense of get one with a bag , but I think that be all I will get from now on . it be so much cleaner , which be great with several people in the house suffering from allergy . all the attachment work great and although we do not have pet , I could see this be able to get pet hair out of anything . I have only find two con with this vacuum . first , it be somewhat heavy . I be a big guy , so this do not bother I , but it could cause some difficulty for other . it can also be a little difficult to push around without the brush on , due to the strong suction . the other con I could be it take a lot of pressure on the foot pedal to unlock the pedestal so that you can vacuum . I find it be very easy if I use my heel on it though . I would highly recommend this vacuum for anyone in the market for one . you will not be disappoint . +955 Vacuum NEG 1 I should have know the first time I use this vacuum that it be a piece of garbage , but I hold onto it because I hear so many good thing about Oreck . the first time I vacuum , the smell of burn rubber -lrb- the belt -rrb- be so bad and it barely pick anything up . so as I be advise , I replace the belt -lrb- after one use for a few minute , the original belt be already melting -rrb- . I live in a small apartment with hardwood floor , no pet and one wool carpet - there be no reason for the vacuum to malfunction like this . the vacuum continue to have the same problem , but when I readjust the belt before every use , it become somewhat tolerable , except for the many time I have to clean out the different compartment because of buildup -lrb- again , not sure how there could be so many issue with such a small , tidy apartment -rrb- . after some research , I learn that Oreck tell its customer to vacuum more `` gently , '' otherwise the belt be prone to burn or come apart . I tend to slowly glide and do not manhandle my vacuum , but I decide to vacuum very slowly and gently to see if it would fix the problem I be have . the problem have not subside , and have become even worse . I can not vacuum my one , small carpet without the smell of burn rubber , a complete lack of suction after about 2 minute , and have to readjust the belt or replace it every single time I want to use it . I be throw this thing away . save yourself the annoyance and the money . I have a small upright dirt devil that cost about $ 35 that work better than this thing . also , I never think I would miss have tool so much - you can not get anywhere near the baseboard and all the dirt that build up along you wall with this thing . and even if my vacuum have a manufacturer 's defect , why have not Oreck replace it ? +367 Vacuum POS 5 for starter , consider that high-quality consumer vac be run $ 200 - $ 300 , and substantially more if you go with a Dyson or something . we seriously consider a Dyson canister , and I be very , very happy that we skip it . it not only would have be a waste of money , it would have be less convenient . we have a triplex -lrb- 3-story -rrb- apartment in New York . all hardwood floor , and lot of stair . this thing be absolutely , totally perfect for it . the suction be huge , even after week of use in a apartment full of dog hair . it be design so effectively that all the hair get suck deep into the bag , and do not block the airflow . the bag be a long-lasting cloth bag that be very easy to remove and empty , and there be no additional cost for consumable . however , if you would prefer a paper bag that you do not need to empty , you can use those instead . either way , it work great . it also work great on we area rug , because the suction be very good . it be very lightweight , and come with both carry-handle and shoulder-strap . so you can range all over the apartment , over and around thing , up and down the stair , carry it comfortably all the way . my wife be a little smaller than I , and also find it very light and great to use . the long , super-strong metal tube , with rotate head , work its way really conveniently underneath and around the table , chair , and other furniture . it come with great attachment for baseboard and other need . the metal tube have a secure lock mechanism , so it be both easier to disassemble than a plastic one that often get stuck , and easy to reassemble and snap together . it be go to last forever . the flexible hose be make of really strong material , with a rigid , springy coil inside . it do not crimp , fold , bunch or otherwise cause problem . it also shrink nicely when you be not put any tension on it . which make it very convenient to store : it be super-compact to start with , and you can quickly pop the hose & tube off the main body of it , so you can store they wherever they fit best . incidentally , Hoover also include a very rugged strap to snap the cord in place when you be not use it . the power cord , by the way , be just incredibly long , so I can do a whole floor of the apartment , and get 2\/3 of the way down the stair , before I need to unplug and move the connection . it be the longest I have ever have , even on a full-size upright . we have have it for a month now , and use it often , and I have yet to find a single flaw with it . I suppose they could round the edge a bit more , so that when I be dance around the apartment with it sling over my shoulder , I do not even notice they . but that be about it . some reviewer suggest they integrate the attachment storage into the body of the vac . but that would dramatically increase weight and size , so it would be stupid . they could give you a little holder for they , but then they would have to charge you more , and you probably have a bag or drawer or whatever for they already . if you want , you can buy the $ 20 `` portapack '' carry bag , which include a spiffier shoulder strap , and a little mesh bag for the attachment . but if you do not need it , they have save you the $ 20 . unless you have deep-pile carpet , or a dog\/cat that constantly shed fine hair -lrb- and so you need a vac with a power head -rrb- , this be a really phenomenal performer , and a amazing value , which be much more maneuverable than a upright could over be . +259 Vacuum NEG 2 this 4870mz machine clean very well , but I be not the least impressed with the cheap plastic part . the on\/off switch be cheap and have go bad cause the wire go to it to melt . it be a wonder it do not cause a fire . I would rather spend more money for a quality build machine that will last . +355 Vacuum NEG 1 this vacuum suck and I do not mean that in a good way . this vacuum drain you battery if use for over 30 min . we buy the recommend a\/c adaptor which do not work with this vacuum . this be purchase for we service tech and it be a lose . I do not recommend . +55 Vacuum POS 5 I love this product !!! I have have other vacuum cleaner by other maker and this be by far the best . it leave my carpet look new everytime I use it . my 17 year old son use it and be very impressed . I have read about the difficulty with the little yellow switch to change from carpet to floor so it be not a big surprise when the time come to use it . the only negative thing be that the machine be heavy and I have a hard time carry it up and down the stair . but over all , it be a great buy . +772 Vacuum POS 4 this vacuum be awesome it pick up just about everything ! although it need to be thoroughly clean after each use . i highly recommend this vac +744 Vacuum NEU 3 this vacuum take a lot of work to push around . it be not too bad if you push or pull it straight , but if you be make turn it take a lot of muscle . the suction be good and it clean well but ... give I a break . +70 Vacuum POS 5 I try 3 other brand return two and keep this one . the reason be it have more power and you can do at least 2000 sq with the thing versus the competition . I highly suggest it ! +203 Vacuum POS 5 I own a Hoover vaccuum cleaner that be not do its job . when research for a new vaccuum I come across the review for the Miele . I have never hear of this brand . I decide to go ahead and order it . the quietness of the Miele be amazing in comparison to the Hoover . it also do not spit back dirt when you vacuum on a smooth floor . the dog hair in we carpet be go : - -rrb- we could really tell a difference in the quality of the vacuuming . it do take get use to the movability of the handle swivel . the Miele be definitely heavier than my old vaccuum . it feel like it will last much longer than previous vacuum . I have now have it for two month and have no desire to go back to any other vacuum cleaner . I truly believe that because of its efficency in remove all of the dirt , dust , and dog hair my allergy have be help !! thanks Miele for a amazing product . my husband have already ask if they have a steam carpet cleaner , if so we be buy it . LOL I also like the extra long cord . I can vaccuum my entire 1400 square foot house without change plug . +666 Vacuum NEG 1 I have own many vacuum . I seem to be pretty tough on they , but then again ... if you have a family of eight with five out of those eight have waist-length hair , you do end up vacuum quite a bit , generally every day . - I own a Kirby ; it be awesome but the bag be so expensive and hard to get , and the attatchment be a pain to use . - I own a Dyson Animal . ugh . never again . I can not believe that piece of junk cost as much as it do . horrible construction , the attatchment never work properly , and bagless vacuum be just so disgusting . not very many thing will make I gag , but clean out a bagless vacuum do . just ... no. . no. . never . - I have own several Dirt Devils . they be pretty good , but flimsy . but , they be generally inexpensive , so the flimsiness be forgivable . -lrb- a Dirt Devil be what I be get next after this one ... -rrb- - this vacuum be okay as far as suction , but it have so much suction that it become a liability . it literally walk across my carpet by itself on the highest setting , and it be all I can do to pull it back . however , you would think that amount of suction would leave you carpet really clean . not so . with mine , it actually seem to push everything down -lrb- instead of fluff it up -rrb- and small crumb would just fly everywhere vs. be pick up in the vacuum . I think perhaps the lift mechanism be not work ... that perhaps I have it set for high carpet but it actually be not any higher than it would have be for low one . but no. . . when I take it in on a flat surface I could definitely tell a difference in the high and low setting . it be just not high enough for my carpet , I guess . and this be not any 1970 's shag carpet ! it be just a plain pile carpet we buy from Lowes three year ago ! so ... I be go to keep this vacuum as a backup I guess . since I have use it three time , I be not sure if I can return it , and at worst I suppose we can use it in the garage\/shop for sawdust , etc. . as for what I be go to use in the house , I just order another Dirt Devil for $ 44 , and so what if I have to replace it every year ... at least it will clean my carpet and not pull my arm off in the process ! +390 Vacuum NEG 2 I spend a lot of time research vacuum and decide that we would buy this . I purchase it about 4 month ago . I realize that if I have purchase a $ 400 vacuum I probably would not have these issue , but we can not afford that . this vacuum do as all do and vacumm up the everyday dirt , but there be some issue I want to make sure other buyer be aware of prior to they purchase this product . the only good thing I have notice be that the one attachment -lrb- not the Pet -rrb- work great on pet hair . better than my old Dirt Devil . if you do not mind my frustration outline below , then you will be happy with you purchase . my issue : 1 . the filter be horrible to clean and unless you clean they there be no suction . you have to clean two area and one do not remove from the vacuum so be almost impossible to clean . the filter itself be make of two section , a foam outer section and the inner filter . the only way to get it really clean be to wash it which be what the instruction say to do after every use . -lrb- which in itself be a pain . I have decide that it work fine to do every other time or so . -rrb- the issue be it take forever for the inner filter to dry . so make sure you have vacuum everything you need to prior to wash otherwise you can not use you vacuum with a wet filter . this happen to I , I realize I miss a large area and have to wait to vacuum it , and it make I really mad . 2 . if you be buy this for the PET ATTACHMENT , do not . I try to use it and the attachment lock up and will not spin . have be unable to remedy and the tool be useless . 3 . my old vacuum have a way to shut off spin brush when use the hand attachment and I miss that . every time I use the hand tool I have to angle the vacuum so that it do not ruin my carpet . 4 . the HAND ATTACHMENT hose do not go very far at all . you have to keep the machine close to where ever you be use it . like I say earilier , it work well for the price , but just be aware of the frustration to use it . if you do clean the filter properly it do have decent suction and work well . happy Shopping ! +417 Vacuum POS 4 great value . they fit fine in my Orion model vacuum . Iwould definitely recommend they . so far so good . excellent price from Amazon . +623 Vacuum POS 5 I have own other cordless vac and this be the best yet ! Perfect for remove pet hair from furniture , clean window blind , and effortless clean-up in the car ! would highly recommend , battery life be much better than other , the tool with this vac be really useful and especially like the flexible hose . +433 Vacuum POS 4 I have own and use three of these vacuum in my business over the last 25 year and have always love they . good price , Great Suction , Small , Easy to use , etc. . I can echo all of the other user comment in that this be a great vacuum . but , they change one thing on the most recent vacuum I buy that I just hate . they make the hose a short springy thing instead of a longer non-springy deal . so , when you set the vacuum down and start use it to clean up , and pull on the hose to extend it , it yank on the vacuum , even bang it into thing or drag it around . no more set the vacuum on a ladder to clean something higher up , or set it on stair ; it would tumble down in a instant . and the hose be so short that you be always pull on the vacuum with it . I take my old vacuum hose and put it on the new vacuum . hopefully I will not accidentally step on it and crush it as I have do before , since now I can not replace it except with the new springy one . I call Hoover to complain and ask if the old hose be available . answer - no. . so , as much as I like this vacuum , it be a bit of a deal breaker in ever buy another one , unless I want to spend the time try to find a older hose or some other hose that would fit it , or make one on my own somehow . the Hoover rep seem unsympathetic to my problem and offer nothing - just what I expect with the way customer service be these day . as a aside , I buy this on Amazon at a great price , and know I could send it back , but do not . I really love Amazon pricing and service that I have that option . so , keep this new change in mind in decide whether to buy a otherwise great vacuum . +213 Vacuum POS 5 WE get this sweeper at Kmart for $ 79.99 last year . it be a extra one we use downstairs in laundry room and basement . it be a very good sweeper for the money . in fact I like the extension hose much better then we Dyson animal which be very hard to use with the beater attachment . we lend it to we son and daughter in law to use while they be pack up and move . they be very impressed with the suction it have . we tell they to keep it and I be order another one today from Amazon . Free shipping and a 10.00 rebate . who can beat that ? do wish it have a longer cord and the beater brush turn off while you be use the beater extension on stair -lrb- it will burn you carpet if set on the low setting so watch that -rrb- but i still think it be a great sweeper for the money . +6 Vacuum POS 4 I buy this after have problem with my previous Bissel bagless model , which lose its suction . this Eureka model work very well , have plenty of power , look kinda cool , and have lot of attachments\/cleaning mode . only downside be : the foot release lock be sorta hard to push ; it be kind of heavy , for a house with stair ; it be a tad loud ; the plastic body piece be a little too hard and rigid and it seem they could break in a couple year . overall I be very pleased with the purchase , after consult consumer report , etc. -lrb- I choose this over the blue Hoover model , which seem just a little too cheap -rrb- . +735 Vacuum NEG 2 after several year -lrb- about 7-8 -rrb- my low end Oreck become too weak to pick up dog hair -lrb- a necessity -rrb- from my rug . that combine with no on board tool prompt I to look for a replacement . because I abhor spend money , especially on something that I can not test -lrb- as in buy online -rrb- , I spend month postpone , and research , my option . I be not able to find the five-starred item review here at the big box store , at least not the same model number . I have rule out anything over $ 400 , and be not interested in the bagless model . I find this Hoover and read review in several place and decide it be just right for we need . plus : the very long cord can be plug into a central area of my 2400 sq foot , tile\/carpet\/hardwood single story and I can vacuum the whole house . it be very lightweight , come with a shoulder sling for easy carrying , and the tool make it quick and easy to get into corner and around furniture . the suction be adequate for hardwood and tile . it make work quick and easy . come with a variety of tool . MINUS : after vacuum a area , I have often find I have to go back over a area as little , tiny piece of debris seem to be miss . this will not , repeat NOT , pick up dog hair off of carpet . I have to use the large head tool and rake the carpet , get the hair in a pile , take the head off , and suck it up . the tool do not have a storage , carry bag ; more of a hassle than it sound like . final evaluation : if I could return this Hoover , I would . I have to keep it so be keep it so I have a `` quick '' cannister vac with tool . we go to the ORECK store and buy they middle of the line vac . plug it in , and in one swipe it get every single one of the accumulate hair off of every carpet in my house . Perfect ! buy CHEAP , BUY twice . ORECK be MADE in the USA . I will never buy another Hoover , or appliance online again . +641 Vacuum NEG 1 pro : - good suction - the hepa filter be nice although I do not know how to gauge the effectiveness of it - Easy to switch between floor and hose suction - can turn off the brush when do bare floor con : - heavy - attachment fall off while vacuum - not easy to assemble the attachment - the handle release foot switch mechanism be a bent piece of metal house in fragile plastic which break after a few month . unfortunately that plastic housing be all part of the base of the vacuum so you have to replace the whole bottom of the vacuum . - since I forget to call Eureka within the first year of purchase I be tell I would have to pay for the replacement part even though I tell they it break within the first three month . I ask to speak to a manager and be tell none be available and one would could call I back which never happen . I think the part be around $ 30 with shipping which be a substantial amount compare to the cost of the vacuum . I could not bring myself to pay for the part so we live with a vacuum that fall over which make I angry every time I have to vacuum ! so since Eureka make a fatally flaw vacuum and will not support it or create a replacement part that fix the flaw I will never buy a product from they again . +117 Vacuum POS 5 just get it and totally impressed with the power and they variety of attachment . it also have a nice long cord which be very handy . +372 Vacuum POS 5 this vacuum work PERFECT for hardwood floor and on carpet ! it be so easy to use and fold up for super easy storage ! I want to get a Dyson model but find out the battery would only last for 14 min when fully charge and do not work well on carpet . Consumer Reports also rate this model high and that be how I end up purchase this . +770 Vacuum POS 5 we just get get this vacuum and wow . my wife vacuum the house and be overwhelm with what this vacuum pick up . yes we have a vacuum and use it . the carpet look better than ever and I be impressed with the suction of this vacuum . we have almost fill the new bag with what we think the old vacuum pick up . these day we be try to save money and this machine do that and clean up the house . +271 Vacuum POS 5 the product meet the advertised claim . very handy on hard floor . a bit heavy but very manageable . really get under the bed easily and kill the huge dust bunny that live there . clean out easily . I would buy another without hesitation . would be very handy in a rv since it store compactly in the include charge stand and be powerful enough for light clean up on the carpet area . +212 Vacuum POS 5 I purchase this vacuum for use in a restaurant and office environment . I be extremely pleased with the quality of this product , and have already purchase another for use at my home . the vacuum be lightweight , compact , and easy to carry with the include shoulder strap . it carry like a purse or messenger bag . the hose be sturdy flexible plastic and metal . it have a variety of useful attachment . the hose and attachment click together very securely , and appear to be very airtight . the vacuum have excellent suction which do not diminish as the bag fill . the dirt bag can be easily empty , and it washable and reusable . the vacuum can also be use as a blower to blast dust out of hard-to-reach corner . my only -lrb- minor -rrb- complaint be that the should strap could use some padding . the only time it bother I , though , be when I be vacuum for more more than thirty minute or so . I highly recommend this vacuum for commercial or residential use . +567 Vacuum POS 5 my daughter recieve this in a timely manor and she really like the sweeper itself ... I love that i could have it ship right to she house ... just make both of we life easier because she live like 32 mile away ... +679 Vacuum POS 5 this be a great vacuum . I have a old canister vac that totally blow ! once we get this vacuum I realize how bad my old vacuum be . it be super easy to assemble . the first time I use it , I empty the collector 3 time . it suck up stuff that I do not know be in my carpet . the attachment be easy to use . I only wish the cord be longer . it also clean tile well . I be very pleased with my purchase . +856 Vacuum POS 5 get it today via UPS , assembly it easily and clean carpet . very happy to have carpet clean . very powerful and easy to use . if the switch on the handle , that will be more convenient . +797 Vacuum POS 5 I have use these bag from the start and have absolutely no complaint . with that say though , I have no allergy . so , if you have someone in you household with allergy you may want to start with buy the lowest count package before you fully commit to the `` generic '' bag . +738 Vacuum NEG 1 I wish I have listen to the bad review on here before I buy , especially consider what a pain it be to return a vacuum cleaner by mail . the first time I use it be ok . I be disappoint with the power , have to go over the carpet in the same place a couple time before it get everything . the 2nd time I use it , the attachment hose stop work . it be not block , it simply be not suck , and have not ever since . also , the bagless design be awful . it be near impossible to clean without make a mess . I be use to bagless vacuum and the extra work it involve , but this be just non-functunal . do not buy it . +884 Vacuum NEG 1 I have receive the notification that this vacuum will be ship tomorrow . I click on Amazon.com to order this vacuum because there be not shipping . I would not have order it from this location if I have know that shipping would be charge . I feel like I be trick . please delay shipping or whatever it take so that shipping be not charge . I do not have to receive this vacuum really soon . +710 Vacuum POS 5 this vacuum have a lot of power for a cordless stick vacuum , be easy to clean and be always there fully charge when I need it . I have never use a cordless stick vacuum before but the usefulness and versatility be great . this unit in particular be also easily adjust to go under thing . I find myself willing to clean my floor more promptly due to the convenience as compare to have to use a cord vacuum . it be worth note though , that it work better for hard surface -lrb- vinyl , ceramic , hardwood , etc. -rrb- than for carpet . as far as power , the battery technology in this unit be amazing as it have good suction and a beater bar that you can optionally turn on . also , the charge last quite a while , probably 10 or 15 minute , before you start to notice some loss . but that be a long time when you be just use the unit for quick clean up here and there and then put it back on the charger . excellent product . +473 Vacuum POS 5 I encourage anyone who be have a battery issue to contact customer service , you machine have a two year warranty . now as for the one we purchase , its great . follow the instruction and let it charge at least the time specify , -lrb- I believe that be 21 hour -rrb- and we get 20 minute or better of good vacuum strength before you need to recharge . it have plenty of power for those little clean up job and save you from needee to drag out the full size vac . its really easy to clean and we have have no filter issue as some have say they have have . we be well please with this unit and use it for dust , crumb , cat hair , cat litter , etc. . very glad to have it as a option for keep thing neat and clean : -rrb- +314 Vacuum POS 4 I can only echo the positive about this vacuum cleaner . prior to this , I be use my whole house vacuum cleaner -- love the concept of it but after 9 + year , and a couple of repair , could not get it repair to its former suction . this vacuum cleaner have excellent suction and it do a great job on restore my carpet and a equally good job on my hard surface . before I start use it , my carpet need to be stretch ; however , the nap have return to its plush feel and after a few more vacuum I believe the deep cleaning will eliminate altogether the need for have it stretch . I want to give it 4-3\/4 star but it be not offer . my only complaint be the power paw attachment be not stable on the vacuum and sometimes fall off , but it be something I can live with base on the performance of the machine . +699 Vacuum POS 5 I be very pleased with this vacuum . would recommend it to a friend . you have to empty the bag-less container ofter , but that be the worst part . love all the attachment that it come with ! +898 Vacuum POS 5 after read review etc. we decide to replace we current eureka with this one . Ours quit run because we do not really keep up with maintenance . we have have it for 7 + year and like it . I like that this one have the paw attachment for the stair . it be a little heavy and noisy , but it clean great . this be a great vacuum for the money . +211 Vacuum POS 5 buy this to clean up dog hair and to make routine maintenance vacuum easier . I love it , and choose it because of the great review from Consumer Reports . +435 Vacuum POS 5 my old Bissell have finally get weak , so I when I get this new one , I be very surprised at how well a machine could work . with the brush barely touch the carpet , it practically pull itself across the floor . I should have trade up long ago . it lift up my tired carpet fiber and give the room a much nicer appearance . +943 Vacuum NEU 3 I have have this vacuum for about two year now , and so far it work great . I actually do not realize how poorly my other vacuum be clean my carpet until I use this one and see the difference ! also , this machine be quite powerful -- I actually accidentally suck up some long curtain into this vacuum , and the curtain and the curtain rod come off the wall -- so just be careful when use this vacuum around curtain -- it tend to suck in thing that I do not even think be that close in . UPDATE : my second Eureka Boss just break . the hose on my first Eureka Boss break about two year ago , so I purchase a new one . and sure enough , the hose on my second Eureka Boss just break ! I love the Boss because it have such great suction , but the hose do not stand up well to use -- I like to use the hose for clean the sofa and the stair -lrb- the vacuum be heavy and be hard to maneuver on stair -rrb- , but it seem that such use be too much for the Boss . I be now purchase a Hoover Windtunnel . will have to see how long that one last . for more on my experience with my Eureka Boss vacuum , read my review here : -lrb- ... -rrb- +604 Vacuum NEG 2 while this unit be powerful it be a beast . it be heavy , the cord be very stiff -lrb- even after two year -rrb- and always seem to get in the way . the handle release mechanism be very stiff and in stock foot be very difficult to release . I suspect that this unit be design by someone will not be use 2-3 time a week ! +858 Vacuum NEU 3 this vacuum be very powerful and for be as heavy as it be , it be easy to use and seem to self-propel . I have all hard-wood floor with area rug and the CPU be so strong that it sometimes suck up the rug 's edge . overall , my biggest problem be the lack of a extension hose . the booklet that come with the vacuum state that it should have come with the extra hose but the vendor claim that the short nozzle hose be all I get . it be too short to use with the tool . if true , then the booklet be not correct . so far , the vendor , MoreQualityLessMoney have not be helpful . bottom line , make sure you get the hose . +185 Vacuum POS 5 this be one of the lowest-priced bagless upright hepa vacuum available on the market . in the 2 month since first use this vacuum , I have have be very pleased with its performance . it be very good at pick up stuff in my carpet . the only nitpick I have be that the dirt cup be small compare to other vacuum I have owned\/used , and empty it require expose the lower filter to some debris drop down into it . other than that , this Bissell be reasonably powerful , easy to use , easy to assemble , and reliable . the furniture brush work well . for the money , this vacuum be hard to beat . it be a excellent value and well worth you consideration . +815 Vacuum NEU 3 I will never make a large purchase from internet again . buy local and support local business ! I be foolish to read review and think that be good enough for I to make a selection . first , the vacuum did not work out of the box , when it be plug in for the first time ; have to take it to warranty center in Hinsdale , il -lrb- Fullers - great place and fabulous service - not one question ask -rrb- . the electronic board have to be replace - mind you , the vacuum have never be use - simply pull out of the shipping box - non working . darned thing be way too heavy ; in five year I 'll be 60 and will not look forward to lift it . a $ 500 vacuum - surely it can pick up dirt and hair efficiently and not need to be so darned heavy to manipulate - move from floor to area rug . the swivel function be nice , but I 'll take my 20 year old hoover over this any day . +195 Vacuum POS 4 I just purchase this item from my local Brandsmart for $ 74 , and needless to say , I be quite impressed . compare to other expensive brand that I have own or research , this vacuum 's performance exceed my basic carpet and floor cleaning demand . I actually do not have to wear a dust mask to vacuum , sneeze , cough or sniffle . the carpet even appear cleaner make it easier for my Bissel carpet steam cleaner to do its job without be clog up with dust leave behind by poor-functioning vacuum cleaner of the past . assembly of this product be quite easy . it literally take my hubby 5 min to screw in 2 screw at the back and assemble the additional detachable cleaning handle . it be very light for a small woman , like myself , to push and carry up and down the stair . the noise level be mediocre . the suction be powerful and grab up every piece of dust possible in you carpet . the efficient hepa system will leave the air clean . there be absolutely no dust cloud from this model when start up ! I notice a significant difference in air quality in my home almost immediately . so far the only con regard this item be noise level and what I believe be a engineering flaw in the multi-use function . let I explain . there be no button to shut off the air pressure push to the floor cleaner at the base when the hand-held apparatus be in use . therefore , if you decide to use the detachable handle for stair , furniture , or tight corner cleaning and do not pre-vacuum the floor area under which the base unit be rest while you clean , the one open-end loop system push air not only through the pipe lead to the hand-held apparatus , but also through the pipe lead to the base -lrb- floor cleaner -rrb- not currently in use . since there be a open hole at the base which be where the hand-held apparatus be design to be store while the base floor unit be in use , the air to the base now have no place to go but through the open hole and into the atmosphere of you home . this result in the dirt on you floor spew out off the hose detachment at the base . the key be to either stuff the hole with a rag to create a closed circuit system and thus force all air to the hand-held apparatus instead . you can also just remember to clean the floor area in which the base will be rest as you clean the step , furniture , etc. prior to remove the hand-apparatus from the open-end pipe holder . the only reason that I be not give this product 5 star be because like any other home appliance , it be the long-term product performance and longevity of the equipment itself that will be the ultimate determining factor . I strongly recommend buy this vacuum cleaner . +914 Vacuum NEU 3 I have be want to buy a backpack vacuum for a few year now . so this year , I decide to give it a try . we house it 90 % hardwood so a backpack vacuum make a lot of sense . unfortunately , in actual use , it be not as nice as I have hope . pro - not have to drag anything around on the floor be very nice . - the hose hang down from you back so when you let go of the wand -lrb- e.g. while move furniture -rrb- , it be easy to pick the wand back up . - the curved plastic piece at the end of the hose be handy -lrb- e.g. for clean the top of baseboard -rrb- . - long extension cord . con - awkward to put on & wear . of course , put it on only take a few seconds , but you still have to deal with backpack strap and a tight waist band while you be move around . - weight : 10 lb do not seem like a lot , but it be too unwieldy for my wife and kid to use for more than a few minute . - heat : I try it out in the winter and it get fairly hot . I think it would be pretty uncomfortable during hot summer . - emptying : this model can be use with a reusable bag for bag-less operation . however , empty the bag be a fairly unpleasant experience . I be a long time user of Dyson vacuum and find they very easy to empty because there be no filter\/bag involve . with the Hoover , dust & dirt inevitably build up in the reusable back so to really empty it -lrb- to maintain optimum suction -rrb- , you have to really shake the cloth bag and dust fly everywhere -lrb- and you end up breathe a lot -rrb- . you can use it with disposable bag , but I decide year ago that I do not want to pay for disposable bag -lrb- which , for this model , run about $ 1 per bag -rrb- . so in the end , I decide that a backpack vacuum be not for I . perhaps if I be clean a office building , I would feel differently . but for a residential house -- no. . note : there be actually two Hoover backpack model : - c2401-010 -lrb- this model -rrb- be design more for residential use . it include a 1.25 '' hose and straight wand that fit `` regular '' vacuum attachment -lrb- I be able to use my Dyson attachment -rrb- . - c2401 -lrb- also available on Amazon -rrb- be design more for commercial use . it include a larger 1.5 '' hose and curved wand that do not work with other residential vacuum attachment . the wand & attachment be more suitable for a commercial environment . +608 Vacuum POS 5 I buy a Eureka vacuum as I have have my previous Eureka for 30 year . I have have other -lrb- Kenmore -rrb- as well during this period , and they all have problem . thus far , my new one have be terrific . I hope it continue . +975 Vacuum POS 5 I just get a new car and I be a ocd clean freak etc. . it do a excellent job cleaning my car . this mini vacuum be the perfect size and very powerful . I have not find any con . +143 Vacuum NEG 1 I have only use it a couple of time ; so far , the vacuum seem to do a good job of cleaning . that say , the design be lousy . the on\/off switch and cord storage be lower than normal ~ ~ ~ only good if you be sit down ! instead of have a opening in the front of the handle area to lift the vacuum , it be in the back , make it very awkward , as the weight be in the front . the worst feature be that the diameter of the hose and wand attachment fit the turbo brush and other attachment , but not any attachment from the various other vacuum that I have own over the year . all of those other useful attachment and extender that I have accumulate will not work with this machine , severely limit its usefulness . prior to this , they be interchangeable with Kirby , Hoover , Oreck , TriStar , even my shop vac . if I have know that before open the box , I would have return it . I be give the vacuum to a college student , and will never buy another Bissell . +487 Vacuum POS 5 I receive my vacuum within a week , but be not expect it until about two-three week , thanks ship service ! I love my Bissel Cleanview helix Upright Vacuum Cleaner . I refuse to get a bag vacuum cleaner , it get pricy buy the bag over and over . it be so simple to just snap out the filter to this vacuum , dump it in the trash and rinse the filter . I highly recommend this vacuum . it have a long cord , and the power tool be great . great buy for the price you pay ! +685 Vacuum POS 5 this vacumn be simply awesome . it beat the `` other '' manufacturer by mile . much easier to use ; so much so that it be hard to adjust . one little button should not be so hard but its the transition to easy that make it difficult . I love the way it turn and get into place that be so hard to maneuver with the `` other '' manufacturer . the best part of the Miele be that when I finish vacuum my carpet look like a professional crew come in and vacuum my house . I love it . the price be a bit much but I 'll be back review in 3 year and let you know how it stand up and if it warrant the price . my gut be it will survive the beating of my household beautifully . P.S. I see this vacuum retail for $ 300 more in a catalog -lrb- initial w -rrb- that pride itself on brand and reputation . Amazon be the place to buy this , hand down . +165 Vacuum POS 5 this be a great little vacuum ! it be the most powerful rechargeable vacuum I have ever use . the hose be just the right length , and the attchment be just what you want for this size vacuum . it be very easy to see when it need empty , and be easy to empty . it be very lightweight , and comfortable to carry around for extend peroid of time . it be a all around great product . I be completely satisfy with the Flex Vac , would recommend for anyone . +291 Vacuum POS 5 my old vacuum give out on I and I be force to find a replacement . I research vacuum for almost a week . I look at Consumer Reports and every other online resource that I could find . it be difficult for I to make my choice because the market be flood with vacuum that have attachment and feature out the whazoo . I be lean towards a more expensive model by another manufacturer . but I recall that Consumer Reports have name the Bissell Clearview helix as they number one `` Budget Vacuum . '' as I comtemplate my choice , I reach for the Bissell and walk to the register to make my purchase . when I get home , I immediately assemble the vacuum and give it a test run . I be amaze at how much dirt it pick up . I be a bachelor and do not have many people over , with the exception of my child and one or two frined . so my carpet `` appear '' to be clean . be I surprise . the Bissell pick up dirt that my old vacuum have leave behind . so I decide to vacuum my whole apartment . the dirt that the Bissell pick up shocked I even more . I just know that my old vacuum be get the job do . boy be I wrong . this vacuum cleaner do not have a huge price tag , but it deliver big on result . I highly recommend the Clearview helix . the best part , there be no bag to purchase . nothing worst than have to dump those dirty bag . +107 Vacuum NEU 3 after a positive review in consumer report we buy this . however the part such as hose edge and riser visor start to break . finally the power cable snap . it take three year . but I expect a long term usage : - -lrb- the vacuuming function be great which mean motor be good , not the plastic part . not sure how this machine be test , when it be rate highly !!! +562 Vacuum POS 5 this machine have not lower my low density lipo protein , make my dog appreciate I more , or reduce my carbon footprint . it do inhale dirt , hair , meteorite dust and spill gum arabic with wonderful alacrity . some have complain of its noise , but compare to we old Hoover it be virtually mute . it be certainly no noisier than my saxophone practice session . it have stylish line that warrant take it to any state dinner or soiree , and it be name be sure to inspire conversation . the appellation `` Boss '' may seem a bit crass at first , and I may have choose Supervisor , Manager , or Overlord , but upon reflection the name serve it well . it have a springstein-like sense of freedom while at the same time keep true to it be work class root . the head light be useless except for comic relief but I seldom be strike with the urge to clean in the dark anyway . the handle adjust to different angle easily and the myriad attachment be append to its body , much in the manner of parasite to a host . it be all there when you need it . more humorous than the light be the so call Power Paw . while I value the utility of this little cleaning head with a rotate brush that do a fine job on upholstery and the like , I feel embarrassed to be use something so name . for the price , feature and performance I endure my discomfort and would recommend this little sucker to anyone . +610 Vacuum POS 5 I get one of these about a year ago , and it be hold up very well . it be a little heavier than some vacuum I have use , but the power in this little guy more than make up for the minimal add weight . and it be a lot lighter than that wretched Kirby I be use previously . a few thing to note : because the height be not adjustable , this put a fair amount of strain on the belt . as such , you 'll probably run through belt at a rate of about one per year or so . not a big deal , really , because the belt be easy to change . -lrb- Hooray for metal construction ! -rrb- bag tend to fill up pretty quickly . again , not a big deal , especially when you realize that the bag be fill up quickly because the vacuum be suck up so much dirt out of you carpet ! I get my vacuum from Amazon . however , I would suggest do a little research on price before buy . as of this writing , you can get a much better deal from Allbrands.com -lrb- yeah , slapping my head over that one -rrb- , where you can get the same vacuum along with extra belt and free bag for a little less than you 'll find it here . price may fluctuate , though , so Amazon may be cheaper at other time . bottom line , I would definitely recommend this vacuum . you will not find a better one in this price range . heck , you will not find a better one for a lot more than this , for that matter . +46 Vacuum NEG 2 I buy this vacuum a year ago and within a few month the foot pedal release pop off of the machine completely . I have it replace and it quickly pop off again . this time the clear plastic housing break and would cost $ 29 to replace the part and $ 29 in labor . it can only be replace with the same cheap clear plastic housing . it still work , and though heavy , i have be ok with it be performance . however , without the foot pedal , it will not stay lock in the upright position and fall when nudge or tug slightly . this make some operation difficult , especially when use the hose attachement . +90 Vacuum POS 4 I have use this vacuum for over six year . it have work great ! the bag hold several week worth of material , include hair from two large dog that shed . the only two problem that have come up be that the latch that lock the vacuum upright have break -lrb- it still stand up fine -rrb- , and I have to replace the belt about every few month . I have find that the belt `` slip '' a lot , so when the vacuum be on , the beater bar do not spin as fast as it should . a quick fix for this be to put a few rubber band around the beater bar under where the belt wrap around it . that will give it more traction and keep the brush spin . +295 Vacuum NEG 1 we have 2 cat , one of whom constantly shed 1-inch guard hair . I estimate -lrb- from brushing he -rrb- that the amount he shed per day be about as much as you can hold in you cupped hand . I find that after each run , the Roomba MUST be clean , and this take a really long time since the cat fur get stick and wrap around the brush 's gear shaft to the point where you need scissors to get they off . the fur also get stick on the brush , cause the Roomba to stop pick up any more fur after a short while . all in all , it be faster and MUCH less messy to just vacuum , than it be to clean the Roomba of cat fur after a single run . although the Pet series Roomba may work well for dog , I find it do NOT work well for cat . I regret have get this device . +734 Vacuum POS 5 I have four dog and two cat that share my bedroom . talk about hairy problem . I try everything , even professional cleaning . I buy this Boss and wow . my grandson think I have new carpet in my room . this be a bit heavy and it have a bag , -lrb- i like that -rrb- I love this vacuum . +251 Vacuum POS 4 I get this vacuum for my fav . drive , since it go through a lot of abuse like camping and frequent visit to crystal beach with friend . have trouble clean all that sand every time , especially if you be finicky about you drive , so long story short , this vacuum as i call it cyclone , have a powerful motor , with rpm 's better then most of the handy vacuum on market . the pivot nose be a great help since it reach tough space ... the power cord be long enough to reach far end ... . and can be hook up to you cigarette lighter port ... powerful enough to suck penny so be careful ... . though a bit over prize toy ... but worth buying ... ... +867 Vacuum NEG 1 I hate this vacuum . absolute worst purchase , ever ! I have it for over a year . you need to wash the filter after every 2-3 use on light vacuuming . it be not fun handle all the dust , pet hair and God know what else come up from you rug with you hand . really gross . my problem really begin when I put down a carpet fresh style flea treatment . this stuff be poison and I need to continuously handle the vacuum filter to clean it ! I be outside hose down part of the vaccuum ! that be the straw that break the camel back . I just do not want to hose it down outside one more time and into the trash it go . I have have a smile on my face ever since ! I just buy the Hoover t-series WindTunnel . have not try it yet , but I be hope for MUCH better result . if you like hose stuff down outside you house , buy this vacuum . if you want simple cleanup move on and find something else . +302 Vacuum NEG 1 do not waste you money . this do not hold the charge at all . stop work after 5 minute . no more cordless vac for I ... just buy something that plug in . also really hard to clean out . +118 Vacuum NEU 3 now that I have own this vacuum cleaner for over a year I think i can fully provide pro and con . the great thing be that it pick up everything from you carpet and floor - include pet hair that my dog shed all year long . the con ? if you live in anything beyond a one-story the vacuum cleaner be heavy . carry 25 pound up and down the stair be not easy . it be very awkward try to vacuum the carpeted stair as the claw do not have enough suction to pull out hair embed into the carpet . please note that i change the bag frequently . one of the attachment - with brush inside - that come along with the vacuum break within 6 month . great suction but these other thing , especially the weight , become problematic . additionally , I have to put my weight into the foot release to begin vacuum . the switch that adjust from carpet to floor be also tough to move and I end up have to use both hand . +24 Vacuum POS 4 we have struggle over the year to find the right vacuum for we need , which be to clean up enormous amount of pet hair from three huge , shed dog from we wood floor . if we go more than a day or two without vacuum we end up with giant pet-hair-bunny roll around everywhere . however , virtually all of the vacuum we try fall short for one reason or another . then we decide to take a chance on this vacuum , and while it be not perfect it have be , by far , the closest fit for we need . pro and con as follow : pro : it have a long cord . we can do we entire house from one central plug with no extension cord . we house be smallish , so this may not apply to larger house , but the cord be very long by vacuum standard , which be convenient . it be lightweight and maneuverable . we typically use the shoulder strap across we chest to the opposite shoulder which hold the vacuum in place securely , and leave both hand free for vacuuming\/picking up\/moving furniture\/etc . it can reach into small space . a lot of we furniture sit on leg that be about 3-4 inch high , leave a area underneath that can gather mountain of pet hair . use the smaller attachment , the long extension , and the long hose , we can easily vacuum under we couch , table , and other furniture without move they . it be powerful . this vacuum gobble up all the dirt , dust , and pet hair in we house without any issue . good assortment of attachment . con : the bag be messy to empty . it be a reusable bag , although you can also buy disposable bag if you choose . the shoulder strap can be uncomfortable . as I say above , we wear the strap across we chest to the opposite shoulder , and the strap pull against the side of the neck , and can chafe . we end up buy the Domke U.S. Post Office shoulder pad there be no place to store\/organize attachment when not in use . so if you be use one attachment and want to switch , you have to go back to wherever you have the attachment store and get the new one . we solve the storage by use coathook on the inside of a closet door , include one to hang the vacuum from , but it would be nice if the attachment be either attach to the unit at all time , or at least in a carry bag or something you could cart around with you easily . none of the attachment be power , mean no beater bar or spin brush . for we this be not a big issue since we house be mostly hardwood floor and leather\/vinyl seating , but if you have a lot of carpeting or rug , and\/or want to use it on cloth upholstery , this might not be the vacuum for you . +489 Vacuum POS 5 I have have this vacuum for 5 year and it have work fantastically . the bag be easy to change , the attachment be functional , and there be plenty of suck power . I have severe indoor allergy and I be never sniffly or runny after vacuum -- the hepa filter really work ! wonderful value for the price . +642 Vacuum POS 5 I purchase this item mainly for my car but this little vacuumed work great anywhere . the only thing it need be to add a charger for the car . I use the one I have for my car , it really have some great power for such a little vacuumed . it be great to clean up minor spill , cookie crumb , etc. . I also use it in the house to get down between the cushion to get crumb up . it have many use . it be small enough to put in a purse , camera bag , laptop case , etc. . it work great to clean in between the computer key and pick 's up dust very well . I would recommend this product to everyone and it also make a great gift for that person who you do not know what to get they . the price be good also . give yourself a treat and get one . you will not be dissatisfy with it . I do not work for the company or Amazon . Carolyn Salt Lake City , Ut . +588 Vacuum POS 5 excellent product ! this be the best product I have ever try . this thing have massive suction power and it pick everything and anything in its path . I use it couple of time per week and one great benefit of own this be that you do not have to go to car wash and use they yucky vacuum cleaner to clean inside of you car . you have no idea who use those and for what purpose -lrb- yuck ! -rrb- . if you can afford it then buy it I highly recommend it ! +601 Vacuum POS 5 this vacuum be great ! it be lightweight & easy to charge and use and it pick up pet fur -lrb- and anything else -rrb- on carpet , linoleum , and wood floor perfectly . +657 Vacuum POS 4 Works pretty well at remove dog hair , so long as you use it with the short brush find on the underside of the unit . I have yet to find a vacuum cleaner that remove dog hair entirely . even after vacuum , you 'll still need to pick up clump of hair from the carpet and nozzle , but that be easier than individually pick they up . +199 Vacuum POS 4 so I go online to the review on vacuum cleaner and this be at the top of the list , so I continue on my mission reading and research machine and all good thing regard this machine . so I purchase it and it come really quickly through Amazon . Easy to assemble and the suction be incredible when you turn the machine on it just want to go , it be alittle heavy but not as heavy as my Dirtdevil . I be very pleased with my purchase but some review be correct my machine be miss the power paw clip so I can not put my power paw on the machine , its just lay around the house , and the step pedal to recline the vacuum be quite hard to release so I be sure that will break before the vacuum . but other wise the price be great for this machine and I can not brag more about the suction ! WOW . +702 Vacuum POS 4 it work well in the basic mode of run the nose over the car 's carpet : easy to get out and set up , plenty of suction , easy to dump the dust container , wide range of possible angle of the nose . use the additional tool be cumbersome - the brush only go on the end of the hose and the hose be rather short so clean the dashboard be a two-handed job and no matter what angle you set the nose at the body tend to bump on thing . +998 Vacuum POS 4 this vaccum be excellent on indoor\/outdoor carpet , it pick up very well , especially small particle . the vaccum be a little heavy , but that be a small price to pay for the performance it give . +632 Vacuum POS 5 relocate into a smaller living space and in need of a new compact vacuum with great suction , easy to store and equip with all the need cleaning tool . the Hoover Portapower fulfil all my need . Easy storage and because it be rate `` commercial , '' have fabulous suction , in addition to the standard cleaning implement . best of all , it have a extremely long cord , allow ample floor space to be cover , before have to unplug . although it do not have wheel , it be light enough to carry about . a shoulder strap be provide , if need . only improvement would be a retractable cord . there be sooooo moch cord , it be difficult to gather it together and bind in a provide snap strap . best available compact vacuum for the price . +329 Vacuum POS 5 this be the best vaccuum I have ever own ! I have have all kind and this upright with a bag be phenomenal ! upright-good for one 's back . bag vs. canister - cleaner , less dust , no odor ! buy me ! +242 Vacuum POS 5 Black & Decker PSV1800 18-Volt Cordless Pivoting Floor Vacuum Cleaner I have have several cordless vac and this be the best one I have buy . good suction , easy to empty out , can easilly switch from hardwood floor to carpeting . I have a black carpeting under the kitchen table , it do as well as my heavy cannister vacuum cleaner ! +756 Vacuum POS 5 I just purchase the hand vac last week and use it for the first time on Friday . the bd fhv1200 perform great and have more power than any other cordless hand vac I have have in the past . the battery life which some have complain about be average for a cordless . I have a feeling that most of the people that be complain about a short battery\/charge time do not follow the manual concern the 21 + hr charge time when you first get it . also the pet hair attachment work great ! this attachment be worth buy the unit alone . I have never find anything that be so efficient at suck up pet hair ! great hand vac and I would recommend this vac to anyone in need of one . +156 Vacuum POS 5 this work exactly as I hope it would . my cat manage to spread litter all over the place despite my best effort to keep it contain . this vacuum quickly and easily pick it up , be easy to handle and to empty . it be a real life and time saver for I . +534 Vacuum POS 5 this be a great vacuum for the price . I have own -lrb- 2 -rrb- hoover and a Rainbow and find this lighweight vac do the job without the weight of the other . the bagless feature be a plus for I ... no messy bag . I read review before purchase and agree with some that it will tip when use the extension hose but not on every occasion . pull it we of the box , 1 screw and you be ready to go . Amazon 's price be the best and delivery be prompt . Amazon have come through for I again ! +965 Vacuum POS 5 after read most of the review for this vacuum and other , I buy this one -lrb- 4870mz -rrb- and could not be happier ! the reviewer that point out how to solve common problem by read the manual and the reviwer that say the vacuum be not for idiot be the most helpful . you really can get this vacuum to do what you want if you read the manual !!! +664 Vacuum NEG 1 ca not believe the glowing review on this . this be a poorly over-designed vaccuum cleaner that have no edge cleaning capability , the hose fail and have to be duct tape , the bag do not stay seat , the extension wand be brittle and split after a couple of month , the small carpet attachment fall off the storage location in the back and the electrical cord storage hook spin like a windmill . will be the last Eureka I purchase +335 Vacuum POS 5 convenient and portable . love the canister style - able to get in the nook and cranny that traditional cordless vacuum could not get to . +432 Vacuum NEG 1 after receive and send back the wrong vacuum , I email Allergy be go and finally receive a response . I be originally tell they would send I the correct vacuum , but after wait several day , I call back and be tell that the original vacuum I order be no longer in stock . someone else email I from Allergy be go and offer I 10 % off a order if I take off the negative feedback , so I respond to he email that this would be fine , however , I never receive a confirmation email back from he . that be two week ago . I have decide not to do further business with this company . +807 Vacuum NEU 3 this be a good vacuum . good suction , easy to empty . Works great on floor and carpet . but , and I be surprised I have not see this in more comment , it spew dust if you want to use the detachable part . if you want to use the wand or brush , you detach the hose from the bottom part that vacuum the floor . however , once you turn the vacuum on , you get suction in both the hose and the floor-cleaning part . and because the hose be not attach to the bottom , everything that part suck up be shoot back out from the hole in the back , cover the vacuum in dust and dirt . I have be counter that by put a tissue in the opening , and that seem to block the barrage of dust , but I be not terribly happy at have to do that . seem like something that should not be a issue in the first place . +713 Vacuum POS 5 I buy this a couple month ago and it work perfectly . before this we have a cheap bag less vacuum from Walmart . I hate it . this bagged vacuum be much better . seem to pick up everything I vacuum over . and I love the bare floor option . I do not think I would use it but we have a cat little box on tile and this vacuum work like a charm . I do not have to get the broom and dustpan out each time now . I just run the vacuum over it and it pick it all up ! it seem to be a little heavier but I do not mind that at all , if anything it just feel solid . I love it and I would recommend it to anyone look for a new vacuum cleaner . +264 Vacuum POS 4 we buy this vac because it be a hepa vac for a incredible price . the thing have great suction and the bagless design make I feel like I be waste less and be less hassle by the whole bag removal and disposal process . it go together in about a minute , and it clean we carpet more deeply than they have ever be clean . its a very good machine , especially give the price . really , I give it 4 and a 1\/2 star because it be a great performer but the hepa filter be not washable and that be not make clear by the advertising for the vac . all in all , though , I be very happy with it . +742 Vacuum POS 5 we be replace we 7 year old Bissell which be basically the same product . that vacuum perform well , as long as you clean the filter every once in a while it will last for year . I find it for cheaper at meijer.com pro : price pick up pet hair great washable filter Easy to empty canister ability to get under table , etc -lrb- almost get parallel to the ground -rrb- long cord con : a little heavy a good buy that I reccomend to anyone look for a affordable daily use vacuum . +350 Vacuum POS 5 I be very happy with this product . great suction and easy to operate and empty . +456 Vacuum NEG 2 about a week after I buy this product the belt break . my neighbor have buy it recently too and they put it out on the curb for the trash collector as they 's break too . my partner fix the belt , but it do not really work that well , especially with the attachment . would not buy it again ! +924 Vacuum NEG 1 I be amaze anyone like this . have we standard get so low that we think this be a good - even a acceptable - product ? I buy it to vacuum my suv . I charge it for about a week , then use it for the first time . it begin to lose power after 3 minute . as soon as it start to lose power , it lose suction . at the 7 minute mark it be out of power . there be no power cord where you can plug it directly into a electical socket . there be only a cord for recharge it . so unless you vehicle be clean enough where you only need 3 minute with a vacuum - in which case , why bother clean it ? - do not rely on this to do the job . Mine 's go back to the store . too bad ... the attachment be nice , and the dust bucket be easy to empty . then again , since it do not have much suction , empty the dust bucket be not a issue . +792 Vacuum POS 4 pro : - battery last a good amount of time - give the context of what it be intend for . you be not suppose to vacuum you whole house just clean up little mess . - good suction - love the flexible tube when compare to other handheld `` dustbuster '' . there be no comparison . con : - only one but it be a big one ! it come with a `` brush '' attachment that be only half a brush !? if you be to imagine look at the end of the attachment , instead of see a brush in the shape of a `` o '' , it be in the shape of a `` c '' . what this mean be that it create little if any suction with the brush attachment . which be a real bummer because it would make a great portable duster if it have a normally design brush head like full size vacuum . I prefer to vacuum dusty thing rather than use a duster and kick dust up into the air where it will come right back down , or wipe it with a moist rag because it usually push dust into crevice of electronics -lrb- like the edge around tv 's -rrb- . what be baffling be it come with a funky rubber attachment that do not seem very functional at all , and I have never see before with any other vacuum ... but no real brush head . and unfortunately unlike many other other vacuum , the tube size be not universal . I try a couple of other brush head with no success . +931 Vacuum POS 5 I be very pleased with this vacuum cleaner . this be actually my second purchase of the same product because I want to keep one on each floor of the house . it be heavy to lug up and down the stair , but it do a great job clean the rug . the hose accessory be great for the stair . I be able to get alot of use out of this product . the first one I buy about 3 or 4 year ago and it be still run great . I have replace the belt , etc. as recommend in the owner manual , but other than maintenance on it , it run fine . I have not have any problem with it . +468 Vacuum POS 5 I take a long time to decide which roomba I want to purchase and I be very happy I pick this one . I read a ton of review on amazon and on the roomba website and decide this be the best bet for my money and what I need it for . I mostly pick this one because it have the advanced filter system , but I do not need a hepa filter and be not concern about have a indicator when the bin be full . I have 3 , yes 3 , labs\/hound mix who love to be inside and SHED !! I also have all hardwood floor so the hair accumulate very fast and you can not avoid it with rug . first I will say the packaging for this product make you look like you get a mini fridge deliver , it be a huge box , but the actual Roomba box be a very neatly and simply package that come with a extra sweep brush , 2 extra roller brush , 2 charger , invisible wall , and a brush cleaning tool . I be really surprise at all the extra that come with it . you do have to wait a few hour for roomba to fully charge before you can push the green button but it be worth the wait . I just simply push the green clean button and off it go . I let it run for probably over a hour and it just go from room to room cleaning . it have I clean its brush once during the cleaning because a bunch of dog toy stuffing have get wrap around but it be so simple to just pull right off . I dump the dirt bin 3 time and it be so much easier than my dirt devil to clean and dump . now I even have my boyfriend `` vacuum '' for I ! the dog bark at it and chase it around at first but now they just go lie on they bed and watch it spin around . the best experience I have have in the week be turn it on after I have cook dinner and clean the dish . no more sweeping ! I just let it run on the tile floor and it go under the cabinet and under the dishwasher and refrigerator get all the little crumb you miss and even my regular doggy vacuum miss : -rrb- . it get under my couch and all of we table and chair . it even pick up napkin you might have miss and it will suck up just about anything . it really be the best purchase for maintain clean floor especially if you have lot of shed dog ! I love it and I will own one of these for the rest of my life ! +971 Vacuum NEG 1 what a piece of junk , the plastic foot pedal come off after 2 week ; now the repair show be give I grief because I buy it on Amazon and not from they . +495 Vacuum POS 4 I have test this unit , and the Dyson handheld , and though the Dyson be still more powerful , the Flex Vac come in a very close second . and you just can not beat the price ! -lrb- $ 55-75 for a Flex Vac vs $ 175-300 for a Dyson ! -rrb- unlike many handheld I have own , this unit do a great job on kitty litter ! it pick it up , and do not spit it back out . many people be complain about the battery life . I can tell you that the Dyson last about as long . personally , I only use this for small job , and have yet to run out of power before I be do . the filter do fill rather quickly , and I suggest empty the unit after each use . \*\* open the vacuum directly over a trash can , or you may end up with another mess to clean up . \*\* the pet attachment work well for clean long cat hair off fabric . it do not work as well on dog hair , or short cat hair . it will pick it up , if it be in clump , but it be not great at get anything that have weave itself into the fabric . I do wish Black & Decker would sell a wand and floor attachment for this vac . I have be use the wand and hard floor attachment from my Kirby upright w\/it , and although it be not a perfect solution , it do seem to work . now I can vacuum up the kitty litter on my laundry room floor ! I have add some picture of this to the product page . pick up : Kitty litter , fine dust & sand , sawdust , pet hair , etc. . I also pick up some nut , bolt & wood chip with this unit . it be a accident , & I would not actually recommend use anything but a shop vac for that , but it do pick they up . pro Powerful & effective Works on kitty litter cheaper than a Dyson come with attachment , caddy & have a hose look nice & be always handy other vacuum attachment seem to -lrb- mostly -rrb- fit -lrb- unlike the Dyson handheld -rrb- con no option to buy a wand and\/or floor attachment no wall mount Battery life be a bit short slightly less powerful than the Dyson +463 Vacuum POS 4 this vacuum cleaner do a great job ! it be get great suction and work well on carpet , tile , vinyl and linoleum . two thing I would change about it : 1 . since the attachment be black and the storage panel in back be black , it be not easy to see where the attachment go . I would suggest make the storage panel the same color as the front panel -lrb- ours be red -rrb- . 2 . the wheel of this vacuum cleaner will not roll over it be own electric cord when one be use it on a hard surface ; one must physically life the vaccuum over the cord . if the wheel be make of a slightly softer material , they would be able to get traction over the cord . this be not a light machine , but it be manageable for my partner who be in a wheelchair and that be say something for such a big sucker : - -rrb- frankly , I think the weight of the machine be a good thing and help keep it stable when use the hose and attachment as well as reduce the sound of the motor somewhat . so far I have be impress with the range of suction as well as the power . the machine will ` scoop up ' a lot of stuff in a radius of about 6 '' from the actual head and for anyone with pet hair in they home , this be a real boon . bag be easy to change and stuff do not fall out of 'em during a change . overall , a great buy ! +621 Vacuum POS 5 powerful cleaning action . strong vacuum suction , rotate brush be very effective . couple with hepa -lrb- type a -rrb- bag from Riccar , the unit really help to capture dust . carpet be visibly cleaner . Brush action help to pull the unit forward on carpet . unit do a good job pick up against baseboard . pick up everything in its way . no frill that be really unneeded for my application -- cleaning carpet . 40 ' cord be helpful in long hallway and big room . compare very well against unit that cost over twice as much . I use this one in a commercial application , and will probably buy the permutation with the headlight and 30 ' cord for home . +110 Vacuum POS 5 very good price and very convenient way to obtain these bag . the seller be OUTSTANDING - I mistakenly list the wrong mailing address . contact the seller and offer to pay shipping when they be return . the seller cover the cost of the second shipping !! +154 Vacuum NEG 1 do not do the basic thing vacuum be suppose to do . do not clean . you 'll get a liitle excercise return it to the store . garbage . +93 Vacuum POS 5 I have have this vacuum for a couple of year now . generally , I love it . it do its job well . the only downside to the vacuum be that it be on the heavier side . I can not imagine it work well on stair . it still perform lovely after suck up miscellaneous toy . it be powerful too ; I get too close to my curtain and it tear down my entire drapery rod ! I even use it regularly to vacuum out the car . I would recommend it ! +357 Vacuum POS 5 this be the second 4870 boss smart vac I have purchase I have 2 cat and 1 dog this thing be amazing on pet hair the first one be still operable but after daily usage for about 5 year it be not as good as it once be . the new one have small little improvement that I really like I only wish they could make it lighter . +50 Vacuum POS 5 sound level - normal , helix leave very little for hepa filter , the washable filter catch the most particle . design and ease be amazing . +929 Vacuum POS 4 I buy this vacuum yesterday at target . my old oreck be not do the job and I be sorry I ever buy that thing in the first place . but , this Bissell really do do the job . I be dumbfounded when I see all the hair and dust in the container . I have a cat and a dog and I think I be keep up with the hair . be I ever wrong ! I feel so much better know how much cleaner my house be . the little turbobrush thingy work great on the upholstery . I do the upholstery and the pet bed with it . for the price I do not think you can go wrong with this machine . I only give it 4 star because I have only have it a day and I think the hose could be a little longer . even so , I be think of get another one for the downstairs . I recommend buy this machine . +547 Vacuum POS 5 although I do not purchase this vacuum at Amazon -lrb- same price + tax at K-Mart -rrb- this vacuum be a great value ! it be lightweight , east to maneuver , yet have tremendous suction plus the attachment that come with the vac be a extra bonus and they work ! . this be the second bagless Bissel I have purchase -lrb- I be lazy and have 2 cat , I like have a vacuum on all floor of my home : - -rrb- last year I could not find this model and settle for a DirtDevil model ud70095 . omg ! what a piece of junk !!!!! it constantly overheat and shut off after about 10 minute of vacuuming . since the DirtDevil have a 3-year warranty I plan to have it either repair or replace by the manufacture then donate to a worth cause . I also have several other Bissell device such as the Bissell Spotbot Pet Handsfree Spot and Stain Cleaner -lrb- also a 5-star vac and purchase from Amazon -rrb- and a Bissell ProHeat 2x -lrb- would love to give 5 star for the way it clean , but the machine itself difficult to clean after use , so I deduct 1 star , but this be still and excellent machine for clean carpet , especially when have 2 cat that shed like crazy ! -rrb- +448 Vacuum POS 5 love this vacuum cleaner !! good suction , long cord , lightweight and easy to steer . my past two vacuum have be a Eureka and then a Hoover windtunnel , both of which I like until they start to fall apart within a year of purchase . the wheel come off the Eureka and some of the onboard tool would not stay in place as be also the case with the Hoover . the on\/off switch on the Hoover short out after a year and a half of use . to be fair to the manufacturer I must admit I be pretty tough on my vacuum but not to the point where they should have part fall off . I prefer bagless vacuum but be please so far with this cleaner as the dust do not seem to escape the bag when in use . I would also like a longer hose to attatch the tool to and will check to see if one be available for purchase . +1 Vacuum POS 4 I have use several different hoover and eureka in recent year , so I have some perspective on vacuum cleaner in this price category , both bagged and bagless , and so far , I be find the Bissell measure up well . I do not think of Bissell as a top vacuum cleaner brand -lrb- I think of they as make rug shampooer -rrb- , but I have be impressed . pro : it have good suction -- my first use produce that `` wow '' when you see how much dirt be in the carpet you think be pretty clean ; it have multiple filter that be washable , so there be no maintenance cost for bag or filter ; the power upholstery attachment with spin beater brush work great -- much better than just have a little brush attachment that push the hair around ; it be extremely easy to assemble -lrb- one screw -rrb- ; it be sturdy and solid for the price ; it be not the lightest I have use -lrb- that would be the Eureka Lightspeed , which start to fall apart almost immediately -rrb- , but it be not overly heavy or bulky -- it be a good weight ; it be no more noisy than any of the other similarly-priced vacuum I have use ; the extension hose do not have to be place into a hole every time you want to use it and then pull out afterwards , unlike some other model -- it be always attach to the suction , so all you have to do be pull it out and start use it ; and the canister come off and go back in very easily -- more easily than some I have use -- and can be easily empty . con : I find little to complain about with this unit , but like all of the other vacuum cleaner I have use , the cord do not retract , so you have to always keep it out of the way as you vacuum . other have say the cord could be longer ; I find it be about average , but sure , a little longer would not hurt -lrb- although then there be more to keep out of the way -rrb- . +35 Vacuum NEU 3 Works well . Cleans well . my one big complaint be that the thing be very heavy . we have have it for almost a year now . we live in a two story house . my wife buy a separate cleaner for upstairs so she do not have to lug this thing up and down . if it matter to you , pay attention to the weight . significantly heavier than we old sharp -lrb- which be wonderful , but now broken and sharp do not seem to make vacuum any more -rrb- . also heavier than all the current best buy on consumer report -lrb- 3\/2010 -rrb- . +424 Vacuum NEG 1 I get this product for Christmas so I can not return it . I can not believe how many good review this prodict get . first , the beater bar stop work . I take it apart and find that a wire have come loose . I fix that . then by the third time I use this piece of junk the battery run down after 30 seconds of use . it continue to run down after 30 seconds or less of use , with a full charge . it be heavy . the suction be horrible . it will not pick up cat litter off of we hard wood floor . please do not buy this product . even when it work it do not do a good or decent job . I tell my husband the next time he go to the dump to take this with he . +100 Vacuum POS 5 I have be use Oreck Vacuums for year . I know that there be other vacuum on the market that look great and have a lot of hype , but forget they ! this be the best and it last forever . it be light , get under bed , easy to use , and clean great . +450 Vacuum POS 5 these bag be hard to find and really expensive most place , save a lot of money and time purchase online . +571 Vacuum NEG 1 I can not wait to return this to the store . after charge it the allotted time , I try to use it , and when it fail to lift crumb , figure I have not charge it enough . so I re-charge . the power -lrb- or lack of power -rrb- in this hand vac be a total joke . it do not vaccum up a thing . what a total waste of money , this product should not be allow on the market . do not wate you money , you will just be return it . +168 Vacuum POS 5 performance , performance , performance . you will never be at a loss for suction with this vac . the floor and hose setting perform stellar . the strong agitator -lrb- very easy to adjust height -rrb- will clean the carpet in one pass . perform great 2 year later . pro - strong suction on floor and hose setting . even when bag start to get full . - Easy to switch between floor and hose . - Great HEPA filter . last a year . the generic one I buy make the air smell really fresh . - you can not beat the price ! con - hose could be longer . not good for clean ceiling cobweb . get a swiffer . - heavier than most vac . not a good gift for grandma . - louder than most vac . Mack 's ear seal . - powerpaw attachment do not work well . who care ? - Weird Thing : Vac start make high pitched squeal one day . a small hole on the back , where the cord be , be let air through . not sure if I knock a cover off ? one piece of Duct Tape solve that problem . Works Great !!! +717 Vacuum POS 4 it be perfect product for the price I get it for . great suction power and do the job as advertise . my carpet look really clean after use this vacuum . I be really with this buy . +875 Vacuum POS 4 Got to use this a few time and it do what it be suppose to . the hose attachment be the most useful but i be a little disappointed in that it be not as powerful as i hope . it basically a hand vac for a car with attachment . other than that its helpful if you can not get a regular vacuum and it do what its say . Easy to clean and very portable . +396 Vacuum NEG 2 this be a vacuum from a respected brand and since it weigh a ton I hope it would have some strength and substance . the problem I have with it be three : the plastic part be cheap and snap off easily , the height adjustment be so poorly design that it bump up against the vacuum and will not turn and when the roller stop spin -lrb- and it do -rrb- replace the belt be a real pain with lot of screw and prying . I would not buy it again and hope that Eureka make the investment to improve this vacuum . on the bright side , we have a large house with dog , cat , kid and lot of visitor so my wife and I vacuum every single day and it have already last a over year without loss of power . this be longer than comparably price vacuum and I be impressed . Eureka could think like a user and fix this unfriendly monster and I would buy another one if they do . until then , stay away from it . +550 Vacuum NEU 3 this vacuum be a good deal if you just wanna use it to vacuum floor but if you use the suction hose alot -lrb- as I do -rrb- it stink . the vacuum be so light that it tip over constantly with just a slight tug on the hose . so you have to keep one hand on the hose and one on the vac to hold it upright . Wish I have my old Eureka yet ! +893 Vacuum POS 5 I llove love love my irobot . I name she rosie . I buy she because I have mostly hardwood floor . I have 5 cat and a dog . I be sweeping everyday beacause of they hair . I love that it have a scheduling feature . I set it everyday while I be at work . she go to work and put herself back on the dock before I get hone . I dump the tray every other day and only spot clean the brush . smartest thing ive ever buy . +927 Vacuum POS 4 doe a good job on OUR HARD WOOD and TILE FLOORS . easy to SET up and use . have have no problem with product . +553 Vacuum POS 5 clean house be what I do and I do that with Orecks . I have four and this one be the best ! +973 Vacuum NEG 1 I purchase this vacuum after carefully read the Amazon review and think I have do due diligence . well , after 4 use , the foot control which allow you to move the vacuum from the upright lock position to the normal position fall off . it go back on easily enough , but fall off again after every second use . the vacuum be very heavy , too heavy for my wife to use . it seem typical of the modern mindset ; lot of cool tool that fall off at the slightest provocation , be noisy , and do not generate much suction when use it without the brush on bare floor . it do seem to do a decent job on carpet if you do not mind put its part back on as you work you way through the house . but it sure look bright and shiny come out of the box . in my mind , it be barely functional . I feel that I waste my money on yet another disposable , use it for a year and throw-it-away piece of junk . +138 Vacuum NEU 3 this be a great little vacuum with quite a bit of power . clean up almost all debris from floor in a normal situation . no it will not pick up large heavy object but those should not be pick up with any kind of vacuum . however , the battery life on this be not very good at all . if black and Decker could come up with a battery that have a longer life this appliance would be a superstar . also , a negative but not enough for I to have regret buy it be that it do not come with a longer attach pole\/hose for do the corner of floor without bend over . +409 Vacuum NEU 3 I notice the other two review before I mention serious problem with they 4870sz so I think it worthwhile to add my experience . the first one that arrive just do not work . do not pick up dirt . call Eureka customer service and they could not figure out the problem so they tell I to bring it to a authorized service center . that seem pretty ridiculous to I -lrb- I should not have to drag it around to get repair when I buy it new and allegedly work ! -rrb- and I tell the service agent that . then she tell I I also have the option to return it to Amazon . so I ship the big heavy thing back to Amazon for a exchange . Amazon be great because they pay for the return shipping and within two day I have the replacement vac . well this one seem to work pretty well . the only weird thing be that when I first turn it on it seem to move forward on its on like a self propel lawnmower -lrb- which be nice ! -rrb- but within a few minute it become much harder to push . I have not have a chance to call customer service again and ask they if it be suppose to be like that or not . speak of Eureka customer service the woman who I have on the phone seem to know less about the vac than I do after read the direction only once ! that be disconcert . anyway my bottom line be it seem to work fine now for I but you might want to do some more research first . and thanks to Amazon for make the exchange so easy and painless ! +471 Vacuum POS 5 this be one of the best vacuum I have use . it be a little heavy but it really get the job do . +689 Vacuum POS 5 this be a very small vacuum cleaner but it have very good suction and power plus a very long cord . it be light enough to carry upstairs . I have a small hoover vacuum year ago but when it die , I have a hard time find a powerful little vacuum . this one fit the bill . I be very pleased with my purchase . highly recommend this vacuum . +982 Vacuum POS 4 between I and my roommate , we have 4 cat . one with long hair -lrb- mancoon -rrb- and the rest be short hair . I know that I need a good quality vacuum that would pick up the cat hair . I have have the vacuum now for nearly a year and it be still work like it be brand new . I have have no problem with it - I change the vacuum bag every 2-3 month and clean the filter out . I prefer the bagged vacuum because with the bagless it seem that you have to clean all the filter almost after each use . maybe someday I 'll be able to save up for a Dyson but not anytime soon : p +896 Vacuum POS 5 I have the similar Eureka Boss 4870MZ , which have suffer much abuse over the last few year , include lose attachment . I finally decide to replace it , and I be so happy with the new purple cleaner . I have Maine Coon cat and they long hair fall everywhere . this Eureka grab it all . I find it be easier to handle than my older Eureka Boss . the bare floor switch be easier to snap into position , the handle fold down smoothly with just a gentle push on the foot lever , and the attachment work great ! I have use virtually every brand and type of vacuum cleaner , bag and bagless , canister and upright , expensive and cheap . before I buy my first Eureka Boss , I have a Oreck , which have some nice feature but be way overprice for what it do . for people who gripe about the weight of this Eureka Boss , remember that a good machine require a good motor to give that great suction . this vacuum be not too heavy , but it be not feather-light either . I only weigh around 100 lb , and I do not have any problem maneuver this vacuum . it be also simple to disassemble for clean qnd maintenace or to remove the errant cat toy stick in the hose . what else can I say about this vacuum cleaner ??? it do the job and do not break my back in the process . whether you have get pet or not , this be a great vacuum to keep you floor , upholstery and drape clean . +63 Vacuum POS 4 this be the handiest little vac that I have ever come across . I buy mine as a impulse purchase while on a camping trip and find it superb at dust all the nook and cranny in the rv . when I get home , I find it be excellent for dust the inside of cupboard and kitchen drawer -- or any drawer or cupboard for that matter . quicker and easier than wield a dust cloth . I also use it for vacuum my extensive book shelf and also my roman shades and curtain . it be lightweight and powerful . I even use it to pick up the pile of grit after I brush down my front porch and step . it be very light and even a muscle-less peewee like I do not find it heavy or bulky . all the attachment work fine . the pet hair attachment be unlike any I have ever see before , and it work terrifically in the rv , for instance , on the ground in dirt on the step and the carpet . -lrb- load of sand and coarse dirt get track into the rv , and this beat my expensive Dyson at get it out . -rrb- my dog do not shed , so I can not vouch for the pet hair , but I be sure it will pick it up . I downrate it one star because the battery take a long time to charge and then work for a short time , no longer than 30 minute , if that . still , I just order another one , so I can have one both downstairs and upstairs at home and , for the camper , I 'll have one fully charge one to use when the other one have to be recharge . other than the poor battery life , this be a brilliant new design . I wonder that nobody ever think of it before . it be far better than a traditional dust Buster : more versatile and more powerful . +510 Vacuum POS 5 Miele cleaner be recommend to we . the wood floor attachment get into every corner - it be incredible compare to the thing we have . the electric power carpet head also work very well . very please with the unit . in try to decide which model to buy . start at the Miele web site where they list feature - such as the electric power carpet head - include in certain model . however on the web I find different price for the same model , and it seem that for any one model what different web site include be not be the same - specifically for the model I buy , Callisto , there be several web site advertizing that model but in the fine print they say it include the vacuum power carpet head , not the far superior , and more expensive - electric power head . the unit we have be great - just be careful to check what some of the vendor be offer ... +615 Vacuum POS 4 I have use a commercial vacuum for year and do not want to pay the price for a new one . this vacuum come close . it have really good cleaning power and be easy to use . I miss some of the more delux feature of the commercial vacuum , but I can definately say I get my money 's worth . it definately do the job ! +996 Vacuum POS 4 this vacuum be great on we hardwood floor and area rug . it be a bit of a process to strap on the vacuum , but my husband love to clean and love this vacuum cleaner . as long as it keep he vacuum and not I , I think it be wonderful ! +531 Vacuum POS 5 I use it constantly several time a day . love the easiness with the flip thingy on the top . it secure firmly and doesnt releease unless you move the button . I empty it every time and it do not blow cat hair out of it when it be on . it be a huge imporvement from the last thing we use . Easy to mount on the wall and pull\/out on\/off . +277 Vacuum POS 5 suck up everything I need it to . Easy to use , assemble , and love : - -rrb- -lrb- it be a weensy bit big for my NYC apartment but it be nice and sturdy and , I be guess , will last I a long time . -rrb- +536 Vacuum POS 4 my wife and I have decide several year ago to go with a bagless model also make by Eureka . not a good idea , for we anyway . the dirt cup fill up quickly with we Golden Retriever 's hair and be constantly clog . when I decide to go back to this model that use bag I be a little bit skeptical thinking we be make a move backwards in ` clean technology ' . I be glad we do now though . we have have this machine for a couple of month and it be by far a better unit . this vacuum have not clog once in that time and even with we constant need to pick up West Texas dirt the bag be only about half full in that time . you do need to adjust for carpet height closely to maintain a good suction , but it be very simple to tell when it be not adjust correctly . my only concern have be with the light plastic construction on some part , but I guess that be the trade off you make for a lower price . we also buy the year supply of bag , filter , etc. and after see the retail price of bag around town , we be glad we do . if you do not want to spend the money on Dyson or another high dollar machine , this be a good choice . +752 Vacuum POS 5 great vacuum , this be the second one i have buy and for the money there be nun better . just keep the filter clean . my first one be five year old and still work fine , use it for the rent house now . my new one work great and i be very happy with it . +246 Vacuum NEU 3 it be not a bad vacuum for the price but I would not recommend anyone pay more than $ 79.00 . the hand attachment be actually pretty cool and work well on `` dog hair in the couch '' problem . I be really disappoint with the edge suction -- they be wrong to say there even be such a thing . I end up do all the edge task by hand -lrb- or broom -rrb- . +688 Vacuum NEG 1 powerful vacuum , but we have to take it in for service twice , the foot release break twice , we have have to duct tape the hose almost all the way up because it keep crack . Works well but everything be make with cheap part . +506 Vacuum POS 5 I have have this vacuum for several month now and I love it ! the first time I use it I be horrify at the amount of stuff I could hear come out of my carpet . I love that I could actually hear it because it be such a quiet vacuum compare to most other -lrb- it be the quietest I have ever have -rrb- . in 10 year this be my fourth vacuum and I be in love with it . it be perhaps heavier than some but it be so easy to manuveur that I do not notice it be weight . the suction be wonderful and it do well on tile too which surprise I . some vacuum just blow the dirt around but not this one . the extension wand look like it would not reach far but it stretch to be very long . I can easily leave it at the bottom of we stair and reach up 8 stair or more . I would certainly recommend this vacuum . +398 Vacuum NEG 2 I have have this vacuum charge for over 24 hour . I use it just in my room to clean up bird dander , feather and the odd crumb that end up on my floor . it literally clean for 5 minute . what be I go to vacuum in 5 minute ? it could at least keep the battery charge while have it plug in while use , but it do not even do that . I would hope there be just something wrong with the battery but it do not seem that way , so this be a terrible product . I do not know where these good review be come from . I guess the attachment be pretty nice . +161 Vacuum POS 4 I be be respond to the people who say it be hard to use . I be a 30 year old female and i have absolutely no problem use this product . no offense , but if someone can not use this vacuum because it be too physically demand , they have serious problem . it be a vacuum , you have to push it ... it be not automatic ! lol i agree I have have lighter vacuum , but the suction make be worthwhile to I ! the only complaint i would state , that i have not notice other people talk about much be the hose attachment . almost every time i vacuum the hose attachment fall off the vacuum and i sometimes run over it , I be not sure if it be just my vacuum , but both boyfriend and i deal with this issue . +947 Vacuum POS 5 great vacuum -- have have it for about 3 year and it work great on hardwood , carpet , tile , etc. . never have have any problem with it ! +413 Vacuum POS 5 I get lucky and find this vacuum on sale at Kohls for $ 99 and snatch the last one they have available . in fact , I have to have one Kohls look up other area store to locate the one I do find because they would about sell out of they . I can see why . this vacuum be excellent for the price . I love the ease of use it and the convenience that it offer . it have great suction and have yet to give I any problem . I have have mine almost a year and would highly recommend it to anyone . +457 Vacuum POS 5 i have find that on this vacuum if you step on the release pedal and step downward and outwards it release easier ... and that it the ONLY bad thing i have to say about this five star vacuum . +963 Vacuum POS 5 this be the best vacuum I have ever own . I have have it now for almost month , and vacuum twice a month . we have a small dog and a mix of hardwood with rug and newer carpet . the ability to define the pile height and turn the brush on\/off be fantastic . the hose be easy to use and the unit have fantastic suction . I do recommend buy a set of bag with it too . we have newer carpet , so I replace the first bag after only 4 use . there be little thing that make it fantastic - like the handle on the middle back of the unit that make it easy to move up & down stair . the twist swivel the head and this make for easier vacuum around table leg and other immovable item . rug have never look better because of its power , and its easy to move between they and the floor b\/c of the ability to turn off the brush . the attachment for the wand be easily store on the back of the unit . the suction power be fantastic . I ultimately choose this unit b\/c I have read of the Dyson 's breaking often and Consumer Reports have zero negative comment on this unit . it be heavy , however because that weight be in the base , you do not feel it while operate . it be also a quiet power , and it be very powerful . +80 Vacuum NEG 1 I price the Eureka Boss Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner , 4870SZ here on Amazon and other site . I decide on the Pet Lover one . I have no problem with refurbish thing when do properly , so I opt for the cheaper price . I price the refurbish one that include the Pet Paw - order the cheapest price one and wait for delivery . my old vacuum become history about two , nearly three week ago . decide to shop for a decent one instead of buy something last minute at a local store . after get a bad egg -lrb- first one do not work , after a good bit of phone time , a second reburbished be mail to I -rrb- it be just refreshing to get a vacuum that work . and it work extremely well . get more dog hair off my floor than any other vacuum . still not all , small straight chihuahua hair seem to glue itself into the rug , but much more than any other we have ever own . and without repeatedly go over the same area at that . do move the rug when vacuum they if not careful . and make sure the switch on the bottom -lrb- bare floor\/carpet -rrb- after release the handle - every time - be quiet annoying . but so far it be worth the money we pay . do not know about the hassle that it take to get it yet though . +247 Vacuum NEU 3 this vacuum get a good review in consumer report but I take a chance on a refurb in July . work ok at first , then after a few week I notice that despite all the noise it be make it be not pick up anything . clean the filter thoroughly and check for a clog -lrb- there be not one -rrb- but there be no suction at all at the business end . several week later I try it again and the brush bar stop spin . there be a cpo Black & Decker store at a local outlet mall so hopefully they 'll take it back . if not perhaps they have a dumpster out back so I can throw it away . UPDATE : take it apart myself and fix it . the beater bar problem be due to faulty connection to the drive motor -lrb- connector be just slip on and very loose , I solder they , and some wire be kinked -rrb- . not sure how I restore the suction but it be back , and the vacuum work well again -lrb- but still noisy -rrb- . the inside be pretty simple if you be good with tool -- a philips-head screwdriver will get you in . raise my rating from one to three star -- dock it two star for the hassle of have to repair it so soon myself . +326 Vacuum POS 4 good price . Great for pet owner . lot of suction and lighter than my old Eureka Boss . only drawback be a smaller than average bag and a very short attachment hose . recommend the Metro Vac flexible hose replacement , it fit the Carpet pro vacuum perfectly even though it be make for a pet dryer . do not spend the extra money buy a full attachment set with piece you already have when all you need be a bit of extra hose ! replacement bag be the a type . owner manual only list a part number ! +338 Vacuum POS 5 we have be thrill with the effectiveness of this vacuum cleaner . we use to buy Hoover but be disappoint with we last one . this do such a better job . +43 Vacuum POS 5 I order this vacuum after week of research , and I be so happy how it perform . suction power be great for such a small vacuum . Cleans surface very well . it come with nice storage bad , along with rubber tube and brush . it also have small brush that can be attach on the nose for better cleaning . +728 Vacuum POS 5 we research a lot of vacuum and find that this one be the best value for the price . with cheap , bagged vacuum you always have to replace the bag , and they fill up really fast . just a waste . we look at Rainbow vacuum and sure it use cool technology to remove absolutely every spec of dust , but they cost a fortune . this vacuum have several filter that you have to clean every now and then , but it operate very simply and do not lose it be suction power . we have have ours for 2 or 3 year now and we love it ! +556 Vacuum NEU 3 First off , I 'll try to be as objective as I can with the admit limited experience with vacuum cleaner -lrb- probably around the same as anyone who do not work in the vacuum or cleaning industry -rrb- . this be my first bagless cleaner , I have use a Eureka and a Hoover for a combined 12-13 year before switch to this . the vacuum cleaner have great suction , but I have learn several thing that potential buyer should probably be aware of : 1 -rrb- probably the most minor gripe be a lack of a `` brush switch '' that switch off the main brush when you be use the hose , which I have on my previous -lrb- admittedly more expensive -rrb- Hoover . the vacuum be design so that the front pop up when its in the upright position , but I find that the brush still rub against my not-very-high carpet . 2 -rrb- the hose be nowhere near long enough if you want to vacuum stair , I have to move the vacuum every couple step to keep the thing from tip over . and I do not know why a stiff plastic piece be at the end of the hose , it make vacuum in tight space a hassle -lrb- I get that it be for reach , but would not it be nice to have it as a removable piece so you have the option ? -rrb- 3 -rrb- be prepare to buy a extra filter , the helix design be not the best , as it rely on spin the air to fling out particle of dust , which settle into the cup , the problem be , once a little dust start to clog the little slit and filter up , the suction weaken , which reduce the suction a little bit allow more dirt to get suck into the filter , which reduce the suction a little bit more , and so forth . a cyclone be slightly better because the swirl of air travels upwards , allow more dirt particle to settle what wind up happen be the filter quickly clog up and it lose suction quite quickly . my place be not very big , maybe around 1500 sq ft , and I vacuum once every 2-4 week , and I find I have to wash the filter nearly every time . 4 -rrb- lastly , and most importantly , let you filter dry overnight after you wash it , and run you vacuum for a few minute after install it to make sure its dry . I make the mistake of not run it -lrb- though I do let the filter dry overnight -rrb- and the next time I use it , it smell like rotten fish . I have to take the whole thing apart and clean everything to get rid of the smell . would have be nice if they have a sort of catchment to trap any water that might have drip . other than that , I find the vacuum to be acceptable , though have to wash the filter so often be a hassle and make a royal mess . I be not sure if all bagless vacuum require so much cleaning and emptying , but next time I 'll probably go back to a bagged one , or try a cyclonic vacuum make sure its less of a hassle to clean first . +4 Vacuum POS 5 so . much . after research several vacuum , this seem to fit my need -lrb- and the price ! -rrb- . it be super simple to put together ; you just need a screwdriver the first time you assemble it . the hose attachment be pretty cool , too , especially the Turbo Brush . they all fit nicely right in the pocket of the vacuum itself . I be almost embarrassed to say just how much crap this sucker suck up . we have three cat who do nothing but eat , sleep , vomit , and shed fur like it be go out of style , and this vacuum pick up EVERY furball they hack up ! not to mention kitty litter and food mess . we also have two different grade of carpeting , one of which whose flat , dense fiber be notoriously difficult to clean . I have to go over it multiple time with my old vacuum . the Bissel 's multiple floor adjustment -lrb- from high carpet to bare floor -rrb- make cleanup practically painless . plus , it have a hepa filter ! yay ! the only downside be fur and dust can accumulate in the top chamber which can make for a fussy , yucky clean-up , but honestly , I do not care about get my hand a little dirty , as long as the dust be off the floor ! and we have own this vacuum for over 5 month and it be still go strong . all in all , the Bissel make the Debbie-Homemaker in I so very very happy . -lrb- 3 +921 Vacuum POS 4 very good vacuum , this be the second of this model that we own , the first be purchase a few year ago . we have a 2-story house , so 1 stay upstairs & this one stay downstairs . the only problem we have have with either of they be that the step pedal on the newer one break after the first couple of use , which do not interfer with the operation just make secure upright a little more challenging . we do not return for a replacement as we have already throw out the box it arrive in . +444 Vacuum POS 4 this be a really nice little vacuum , very versatile for small job . we use it on hardwood floor and well as rug and have pretty good suction power and be very easy to glide on carpet of rug when bristel be turn on ... seem that the rotate action help propel it forward . we seem to be vacuum more often give the size and portability . highly recommend for small job or apartment . the con I see be the capacity ... remember , this be not a big Vacuum , but as long as you do not mind empty it after each vacuum , you should be fine +981 Vacuum NEG 2 the pv1200w vac be neatly package but -lrb- of course -rrb- have a very poor instruction manual . on the other hand , it be a vac and it vac , so who need instruction ? you can only use this product with the engine turn OFF , so there be a decent battery drain issue . if you have a shop vac or some other vac , run a cord to you car and use that . this vac will take minor dust and small particle off the seat and dash , etc. . it will do poorly on the mat and rug , hence the shop vac or a car wash . I be unsure why company make such useless product ; perhaps they actually earn money from they . but better yet would be to make something that can do the job for most car , not just pristine or recently clean vehicle . other B&D; product I own be quite good and do they intended job well . save you money on this one . +354 Vacuum NEG 2 vacuum be suppose to suck , but not the way this one do . the first time I use it , the belt that drive the brush spindle snap . to Bissell 's credit , they replace it for no charge and the second belt have not break , though it slip off quite often . Broken belt aside , the performance be lack considerably . the suction be not what it should be , especially if you do not clean the filter before EVERY use . seriously , the filter need clean every time you use this thing which be a significant inconvenience . the last knock on this vacuum be the awful attachment selection . Poor design , poor functionality . not a good buy . +899 Vacuum NEG 1 buy this vacuum 2 month age and as much as I would like to say it suck - it doesnt . a 100 year old person with emphysema could suck in more air than this piece of junk do . I will never buy a Bissell vacuum again . terrible product !!!! +490 Vacuum POS 5 a fantastic portable vacuum . Great for all surface and for people who do not have much room to roll around a vacuum cleaner or take it up and down stair . it wear like a messenger bag , and then you just start vacuum ! the on\/off switch be right on the handle . with 11 foot ceiling , I be able to reach into any crevice with this powerful device . I would suggest get the vacuum bag . +179 Vacuum POS 5 finally a vacuum i be happy with ! great suction , handy tool , easy to use a i do not think the price could be beat . +795 Vacuum NEG 1 I think this vacuum work fabulous on my carpet . however most of my home be hardwood floor . I could still feel crumb , grit under my foot after vacuum . it do not get debris in corner nor near a wall . my cheap $ 90 vacuum have a height adjustment . I write the vendor -lrb- morequalitylessmoney -rrb- and ask if there be a way to adjust the height . after 2 email and no response I send the vacuum back . +961 Vacuum POS 5 I receive this vacuum a couple of week ago . it really work well . I have ceramic tiling thoughout the house except the bedroom . it work on both surface well . initially I find it hard to push , but with time I find it be a lot easier . I be most happy with this vacuum . +839 Vacuum NEG 1 if you have animal do not buy this vacuum . the hair get catch up in the upper compartment of the machine and do not even make it into the regular lower dirt compartment . you have to put you hand up inside and grab the hair and dust to pull it out and you need a bag under you hand to catch it all or you 'll be dump it on the base of the vac . it might be great for people without pet hair but it be a 1 star for people with furry family memer . +663 Vacuum POS 5 I live in a apartment and initially buy a small cheap vacuum which never really work well . I read lot of review about this product before decide to purchase and find that Amazon have the best price . I love this vacuum . it be easy to assemble , lightweight , the attachement all work amazingly and they snap securely onto the vacuum . +675 Vacuum POS 5 I purchase this as a gift for my daughter . she have 2 dog and 2 child and she be very happy with its performance . +167 Vacuum POS 5 I have own this vacuum for a few year and I have find it to be the absolute best cordless vacuum . it hold its charge , it do not get clog -lrb- provide you clean out the filter regularly , and it have a good power level that allow I to do spot cleaning . we have adult child , grandchild , pet that shed , and even some messy adult in we household -- and this vacuum be perfect for clean up after they without have to lug out the big vacuum . I like this product so much that I just buy two more for my kid who be in college . in previous year they bring other version of cordless vacuum to they dorm , but they never last . I be confident that this little vaccum will do the job and even return home with they in May . +308 Vacuum POS 4 this be a powerful vacuum cleaner . the level adjustment and the attachment work great . it be pretty heavy and may not be a appropriate choice for those who need a lighter vacuum . +465 Vacuum NEU 3 now I understand the other review . I think people be complain about how heavy it be to carry , but it be also heavy when in use because the body section be hefty . maybe I should stick with cannister , but this vacuum feel clunky and awkward to I . +272 Vacuum POS 5 have own this vacuum for about two year now and have be very happy with its ability to remove pet hair from carpeting and upholstery . it also have a very easy option of switching from regular vacuum to hose . I agree with other review that it be a heavy vacuum , but it be not a impossible size to carry up and down stair . I be a 50 year old female , 5 foot tall and 140 lb , and I be able to move it from floor to floor with a small amount of effort . the only negative I have see be that once the hose attachment -lrb- permanently on the vaccum -rrb- stretch a bit , it sometimes slip off the plastic holder and drag along the floor during use . despite even that , I highly recommend this product . +121 Vacuum POS 5 do a lot of research before buy this vacuum . SO GLAD I purchase it ! the vacuum be great . it be easy to maneuver , and best of all , great suction power ! for the few review I read that be not so good , I be not sure what be wrong . I truly love this purchase , and be very happy I buy it . I be a very petite girl , and handle this vacuum be not difficult at all . it be a solid piece , lot of weight , but great suction . that be what I want in a vacuum ! +181 Vacuum POS 4 purchase the Miele twist after much research and consumer review . love the machine . let I say that I be a vacuum fanatic and use my vacuum at least every other day , and I mean at least -lrb- I have 3 kid , 2 dog , and a dirty backyard -rrb- . immediately the power of the vacuum be note and even though it be a bit heavy on the pull-back , it be BECAUSE of the 2-motor design and so I will take power with weight any day . the carpet look the best I have see it in at least a couple of year -lrb- animal stain aside -rrb- and I think I be almost addict to run it just to see the carpet plush , full and hear the dirt cyle through the hose -lrb- before the kid come home \* wink \* -rrb- . I worry about how it would handle my 15-staircase , but the hose extend to at least 12 stair quite beautifully and it be not difficult to balance the vacuum while I clean the last upper three . another thing I be curious about be the length of the cord , but again - I have be please to note that I can vacuum all of my downstairs from one convientently place outlet . speak of downstairs , I adore how easy it be to shift from carpet to vinyl with just the flip of the switch and it do such a great job cleaning too . but , if you note I give it 4-stars vs 5 and you may be wonder why . well , here be my quirk with the machine . while I love how long the cord be - I do not like how it can not seem to stay wind up on the machine , it fall off loop-by-loop as I move around the room . I plan to amend this annoyance by get a velcro loop and make my own sort of contraption to keep it on the machine . I also find annoyance with a particular situation , that may be only related to I -lrb- and my own amazingly charge personality \* wink \* -rrb- , but it will shock I if the machine get too close to my leg while run it . I learn with research that the machine use a electrobrush -lrb- see -lrb- ... -rrb- -rrb- and this may be the cause of my experience . if I remember to keep it away and not pull it so close to my heart , as I want since I love it so , then it be fine . \* smile \* now , on the principle of sandwich , I must leave you with another loved aspect of this machine . I love the manuverability of the machine . it be like the Dyson ball , in effect , but the power and allergen control of a Miele . I can bring it low and it do not alter how it work , and I can easily move it between and around my furniture . all in all - I be in love . the cord do not stay on the machine very well and I get a small shock every now and then , but other than that - I adore the machine . for the price , it be a real bargain . +533 Vacuum POS 5 I order this vacuum base on consumer report , concentrate especially on its ability to pick up pet hair . it work marvelously . my rug be totally free of pet hair after I have vacuum . it be a bit heavy , but I can live with that . the attachment be simple to work , and it be easy to turn off the beater bar -lrb- for my more fragile handmade rug -rrb- . it be quiet , too . this be the best vacuum I have ever own . it come quickly and well package , and this be the best price I find anywhere . +631 Vacuum POS 5 I purchase a previous version of the 4870 -lrb- dark green -rrb- a couple of year ago . the newer model have only minor difference . note to dad and husband : think of it as a power tool ! I will echo the other comment on great suction and somewhat heavy weight . this be a excellent combination of power and price , but you may want to think twice if you be a smaller person who would need to carry the cleaner up and down stair a lot . I have laminate floor so the brush control be mandatory ; that feature be hard to find on other model in this price range . so far I have have two year of good service with no problem . the control for the brush and the hose suction could be more intuitive but I get use to they quickly . from other review , apparently people have have trouble with the bare floor toggle . in my experience , if you try to set the toggle before you unlock the handle , the toggle will fall back to the carpet setting and the carpet brush will keep turn ... which negate the whole point of the toggle . however , mine work fine if you set the rotary height adjustment knob to `` bare floor '' and then use the foot pedal to unlock the handle . at this point you can easily move the toggle from `` carpet '' to `` bare floor '' and it will click into place , stop the brush . yes , it be more hassle than it need to be but rapidly become second nature , and the cleaner do a grear job on my laminate floor . +145 Vacuum POS 4 to keep my floor food free -lrb- no crumb for the mouse -rrb- I use this stick vac -lrb- psv1800 -rrb- . its great for small job do between my weekly vacuuming . where do I use it ? on carpeting , hard floor and furniture . at first it be great on all surface , but after a few month its do better on carpeting than hard floor . I try to vacuum my small car with it , but its length make that awkward . although it fold , the fold be in the wrong direction to make it short enough to use in the car . << Edit Nov 2009 I take it apart recently when it stop pick up altogether . I find that the filter be completely clog . after I clean off the dust -lrb- the filter be re-usable -rrb- it work a good as new ! so I recommend clean the filter every couple of month . >> i use it mostly in the kitchen , dining room and living room . I also use it in my entry way too to prevent dirt from be track all over the house . how 's the battery life ? supposedly it will last 20 minute . but I have not run it for more than 5 minute at a stretch , so the battery have not die on I yet . be it easy to use ? yes , just unfold it and hit the on switch . however , it do require a little strength . it weigh only 5 pound , but concentrate along a stick that could feel heavy . its a little lighter than a gallon of milk -lrb- 8 pound -rrb- . empty the dust , crumb and dirt be a cinch . its bagless , so you open a compartment and everything will fall out . I have not have to reach in and scrape out dust yet . con the price keep this vacuum from earn 5 star . I do not think its worth $ 100 . +280 Vacuum POS 5 I git this this vacuum for my mother in law and once I see it in action , I buy one for myself ! it be great ! all around great vacuum ! +696 Vacuum NEG 1 do not buy this vacuum . I work in a group home and we have this vacuum that we use every day to vacuum the carpet and it be a piece of junk ! the vacuum have no suction what so ever to speak off . it barely pick up piece of paper on the floor , much less dirt from the floor . I be constantly clean the filter because they get clog so easily . the other day , after clean the filter and the helix tool , the vacuum still have no suction and I be look to replace it with something better . Stay away from this vacuum . +250 Vacuum NEG 1 buy a vacuum , it quit work after one or two use , I have be tryint to contact the seller with get no response ! Super dissapointed with the seller !! they have be terrible to deal and still to date have not take care of the issue , Amazon have step in to make thing right . +455 Vacuum NEG 1 piece of junk . I buy it several year ago and it only last 3 day . it be make out of cheap plastic and a battery hogger . do not buy it . it be a complete waste of you money . it barely suck up any thing . +423 Vacuum POS 5 read a number of review of different vacuum from various site . this one seem to have the right combination of quality and performance - even though the price be a bit higher than you average vacuum . we have not be disappoint . just unpack it you can immediately tell it be a quality product and well design . it be much more powerful than the Oreck upright we be replace - and amazingly quiet . it be also very easy to use and maneuver - the body easily `` twist '' to make tight turn , and also lay flat to get under bed , etc. . the attachment it come with be fine , but we do wind up also buy a `` parquet floor '' brush attachment , as we have a fair amount of hardwood floor . there be several similar model of this vacuum - all seem to have the same motor , just different `` auto feature '' , etc. . also this model come with a filter , but NOT a hepa filter . a new filter be include in each order of replacement bag . my understanding be that you can replace the `` standard '' filter w \/ a hepa if desire . I think on some of the more expensive model , the hepa come standard . the only slight negative , mention by several other , be that this vacuum be a bit heavier than we previous -lrb- and I assume than average vac -rrb- . this only come into play when carry it around - not in operation . we do not find it a problem at all for we usage , and we have three level to deal with . just want to include that comment in case it be a issue for other . overall a excellent vacuum that I believe will serve we very well for many year . definitely a case of you get what you pay for - imo it be well worth it . +442 Vacuum POS 5 great vacuum . I love the suction , the hose be nice and long no back break , the cord be long I do not have to change outlet as frequent , it be great to be able to turn off the roll bristle and the main vacuum for the hose . it be a little heavy but I would sacrifice the weight for the power . +356 Vacuum NEU 3 I love my Meile untill it overheate due to a simple defect . I bring it into a authurized service centeron the 15th of March and have yet to get it back . aperantly the part that it need have to come all the way from Germany . after the second week of wait I start to panic be without a vacuum cleaner so I get out my trust consumer report . c r rate the Kenmore Intuition upright and at $ 249 it be also rate a best buy . off to Sears I go . I love the KENMORE SOOO MUCHY that when I finally get my Meile out of the shop I plan to put it on Craig ` slist ! +194 Vacuum POS 4 pro : good suction , light weight , convenient con short run time -lrb- as advertise -rrb- , clumsy to empty Great for a small apartment +825 Vacuum POS 5 this vacuum be the best - I hate vacuum and usually leave it to other but this be great . with 5 cat , I need something that really pull and this Miele do . it be quiet . it be powerful . it have full size attachment unlike some other vac . its bag hold a huge amount . I have have hoover and a Kenmore . they be okay for - maybe 2 year - and then they start have problem . I would be shock if this vac do not keep purr for year . +169 Vacuum POS 4 this be a great vacuum . I think long and hard about spend $ 1,000 on a vacuum . it be not a easy decision . 5 Stars for the vacuum itself but loose a star due to the attachment . pro : the vacuum itself be great . powerful suction , low noise -lrb- much lower than any other vacuum I have ever hear -rrb- which make it less annoying to vacuum , the auto-power feature work well -lrb- remember , it be the amount of air flow that count , unless you try to pick up a bowling ball -rrb- and it be less strain on the motor , I definitely notice the REAL hepa filter on this vacuum , no smell a no dust blow around . con : the ergonomic handle be ok when use the floor attachment but make dust shelf and other item difficult when use the attachment . it be also bulk make it difficult to get under and around item . they solution be to purchase the car cleaning kit or the micro kit at $ 150 - 175 . for $ 1,000 it should have the option to remove the ergonomic handle . this would have be helpful . overall I be happy with the purchase because I have bad dust allergy and no other vacuum have have real hepa filter . I decide my health be worth the expense . +451 Vacuum POS 5 this cordless vacuum do a better job of pick up pet hair than my very powerful cord vacuum cleaner . it be very easy to maneuver around furniture . empty the dirt & hair require a little effort but be really quite easy once you get the hang of it . +97 Vacuum POS 5 by far the best small vacuum I have ever have . pick up everything and it be so easy to keep clean out and store away . easily go from bare floor to carpet . this be a great product that I highly recommend ! +790 Vacuum NEG 2 I use the overwhelming positive review star to decide to buy this good featured vacuum . the good feature be true . the design concept show the light be on , but nobbody be home . my complaint : the motor be place high up on the machine handle so when you lower the handle to use it , you end up `` carry '' the bulk of the motor weight the whole time you be vacuum . this be so stupid I can not even believe anyone be in charge of ergonomic design review at Eureka . the foot pedal release be screwy - need to be push sideways instead of downward to release the handle for vacuum . again , screwy and flawed design concept . I try use it for 30 minute and return it , after hand on a few other vacuum at the store . +793 Vacuum POS 4 this vacuum work exactly as I hope it would . it be light and portable enough that I can use it for small tidy up but strong enough to do most of my cleaning . I be very happy with it . +114 Vacuum POS 5 I have a older portapower-hoover and I recently buy a new one . it be great and the only thing I do not like about it be the new hose because it be too short and low quality . the old hose be longer and make well and I do not use the new one at all , my wife & I clean house so we use the Hoover constantly it be light and durable . Hoover should have keep the old hose . J.H. +907 Vacuum NEG 2 not as powerful as I think , its a ok vacuum cleaner but not excellent one . it just suck animal hair from carpet , do not suck all the dirt on the carpet . +614 Vacuum POS 4 in many way , this vacuum be wonderful . it have great suction power , it work excellently on wood floor , and contrary to some review , it be really not that loud . much quieter than any upright I have previously own . as for the weight , it be on the heavy side , but not heavy enough for I to return it . now for the bad . it be difficult to push the reclining pedal . I mean , really , really hard . it be also very difficult to change the setting tab from carpet to hardwood . I be always afraid it be go to break because I be push it so hard . and , the attachment do not stay put . they fall off from they stationary position while I be vacuum . I have have this since mid-August , and today the hose break . I be quite disappointed . it be the reason I finally replace my Panasonic vaccuum , because I would replace 2 hose on it . overall , for the $ 118 I pay for this , I would say you get what you pay for . it suction well , which be the most important thing . and for it be size , it get into the corner really well , better than most . I do not have pet , so I can not attest to how well the power paw work . +382 Vacuum NEG 2 this vacuum be rank very high in consumer report when I purchase it around 5 year ago . it work fine , no major complaint until now . it be not a old vacuum -lrb- 5 year of use , maybe 100 use in its life -rrb- and it fritz out on I yesterday . Motor be seize and short out . this be just from normal usage . it be too expensive to repair so I 'll have to end up get a new one . I be not happy as I expect a lot more from it . +579 Vacuum NEG 1 I do a lot of research before buy this vacuum . I finally narrow my selection down to two machine and go with the Eureka because it be a trust name and I have a canister vacuum by they that I adore . this purchase be such a mistake . at the same time that I be buy my vacuum , my mother be buy one as well . we both need a upright vacuum that could handle pet hair and carpeting . I be completely oppose to bagless vac and she be open to whatever would get the job do . she end up purchase the Shark Navigator after watch they infomercial for a hour . when she shipment arrive I put it together for she and be actually pretty impressed . I tend to associate infomercial product with useless pasta drainer and clumsy at-home gym equipment . but this vacuum be NICE . it be lightweight and clean they old carpeting really well . but I feel confident in my Eureka and be excite that it would be arrive any day . so the Eureka arrive and it be beautiful . bright red and shiny ! just look at the box get I excited for all the feature . a spotlight ! Pet attachment ! brush ! Extension nozzle !!! I could not wait . I begin put the machine together and immediately notice how heavy it be . I do not let that bother I because I purchase this vacuum strictly for my upstairs . I plan on leave it upstairs and keep my canister vacuum downstairs for the bare floor . if I do not have to lug it up and down the stair all the time , who care if it be a bit on the cumbersome side ? well , I do ! once I finally deposit all of the attachment in they proper spot and drag the thing upstairs I decide to take it for a whirl . do the carpet look clean ? yes . BUT , this be brand new carpet only a month old , so it be not the best test . but it definitely pick up all the pet hair and my looooong hair strand . but I could not even enjoy the clean carpet because I be in a full body sweat after vacuum two small bedroom -lrb- 14 x 11 -rrb- . literally . a full body sweat . this vacuum be so heavy to push and pull ... I have never experience anything like it . I should explain that I be in pretty decent shape . I run and lift weight regularly . and I be in my 20 's . my 5 minute vacuum test drive be exhaust from the weight of the machine and the extra bend down I have to do every few seconds because all of the attachment and extra hose piece keep fall off . as I be start to put the vacuum away , I start inspect the piece and discover that the hose have several puncture mark on it ! these mark must have occur during shipping and\/or packaging . upon further inspection I notice that the hose feel incredibly fragile for belong to such a massively heavy piece of equipment . well , those hole be the nail in the proverbial coffin . Heavy be one thing ... damage be another . so I be return the Boss . and , yes , I already buy the Shark . I be put it together tomorrow . P.S. I love Amazon . they make the return incredibly easy . a otherwise infuriating experience be always mitigate by they superior customer service . +392 Vacuum NEG 2 I buy this to replace a old , inexpensive bag type . what with have to empty the canister so often and clean the filter so often , this type of vacuum be too much bother . a lot more bother than a bag type of vacuum . and the suction when use the tool be rather terrible compare to my old inexpensive bag type . also , the rebate be $ 10 , not $ 20 as indicate . read the fine print in the rebate form . -lrb- by coincidence , I just get my rebate check today and it be for $ 10 . either Amazon or Bissell need correct that . -rrb- +152 Vacuum NEG 1 it be good at the beginning . it fairy clean well the floor , but I be not use it for a while , about 4 month or so and try to use it . then it stop work after 1minute . I think it may be because the battery be not charge fully , so I charge until it be full . same thing . it stop work after 1 minute or so . try to charge and use for a few time . same thing ... there be another review about the battery , so I guess I need to buy a different cleaner . +81 Vacuum POS 4 I have a handheld eureka with a beater that clean up pretty well , but the cordless aspect of this sweeper appeal to I , despite the fact that so many user complain about the short operation time compare to the charge time . when it arrive , I look at the attachment that be suppose to be for pet hair , and really do not see how it would work very well . but when I give it a full charge and try it out , I be convert . we have a medium hair gray cat , who shed constantly on we dark oriental rug , so that become the acid test , and it pass with fly color . somehow that goofy look attachment bring up cat hair as well as my full-sized Panasonic . it 'll be perfect for those touchup job when I be tired of see piece of the feline lie about . also I feel it go -lrb- though I do not time it -rrb- for far longer than the six minute that most people have predict , and be still on full power by the time I be finish and hook it back up to the charger . the Vac be also very easy to clean , but if you be go to do more than just empty the solid stuff into a wastecan , I suggest take it outside to blow the dust away . all in all , a very good little sweeper with the convenience of be cordless . +874 Vacuum POS 5 I have one not a comercial model it be over 23 yr . old and still work well . when I happen apon this comercial model I have too have it too . Perfect on we boat . +545 Vacuum NEG 2 useless I get it because I have a bad back and think it would take the stress off as mop , sweeping an vacume be really bad -lrb- painful -rrb- for a bad back , but I spend as much time bend over try to get it unstuck that it doesn ; t matter . it do not do the whole room anyway +72 Vacuum POS 5 the Black and Decker 18 volt cordless pivot floor vacuum be a great product . I would rank it 10 star if I could . I have never find a vacuum that work so well on both bare floor and carpet ; plus be able to move around the house freely without nearly trip over a cord be a huge benefit . I would say that it pick up 99 percent of the small particle from the floor , and definitely out perform my more expensive name brand vacuum , especially in term of the bare floor capabilite . this vacuum would work the best for smaller home -lrb- 1400 square foot or less -rrb- or with smaller clean up area . the vacuum have the best charge after several initial use , so do not be disappoint if you do not get as much time as you think you should after the first use . it will get better and stay better ! the price be so good , even if you have multiple floor or a larger house area , you could buy one for each floor ! it be also easy to dump the dirt into the trash basket , and to clean and dry the filter when necessary . I could not be more pleased . May I add that I be clean up after 3 pooch with this vacuum . Pet lover will be thrill with the black and Decker 's capability ! +672 Vacuum POS 5 I use this everyday because I live in a dust\/desert area and have 2 big dog . I have have this product for over a year and be very happy . the attachment for dog hair work great . this be not mean to clean as long as a regular vacuum of course ... but be great to get all the daily dust\/hair quickly and easily . I actually use these attachment on my shop-vac for thorough cleaning . +620 Vacuum POS 4 wow -- this dude really can clean ! carpet , rug , bare floor , and anything one would clean with the accessory wand be no match for it . I have another Boss that I buy over 12 year ago and be still use it , but when I move into a two story home , I decide I need something on each floor . I read the review , and settle on this new model . I be not at all sorry . as I say , it be a cleaning wizard -- and it be a good value . the only down side be its handling . it be no sport car in this regard . it be heavy and sometimes hard to turn , and the cord -lrb- very long -- a plus -rrb- do not retract . as a 70 year old grandmother , I would prefer a sport car to my sedan , but I do not drive one -- and I do not vacuum with one either . if you be look with great cleaning with good value -- and can live with the awkward handling -- this be a great vacuum . +836 Vacuum POS 5 I research for several month before make this purchase and i be very happy with this vacuum . clean exceptionally well and the power paw be great for pick up cat hair . the hepa system actually work because I do not sneeze at all while vacuum and I have chronic allergy . -lrb- it make I realize how poorly my hoover upright work . and it be only 2 1\/2 year old . -rrb- yes , it be a little heavy , but every vacuum that have strong suction be . I guess it be because of the large amp motor . if you have pet , you will not be dissapoint . the only thing I wish it have be a automatic cord rewind . but for the price , I have no problem live without it . my last eureka last I 10 year , and when I finally get rid of it , it be because it be so beat-up , but it still work great . not the case with my 2 1\/2 year old Hoover . this unit be a great deal for the money . +307 Vacuum POS 4 my husband be skeptical when i tell he i order a vacuum online ! he 1st question be , `` if it be commercial do that mean it be go to be super heavy ? '' Ugh ... have not even think of that and do not remember see any review about it be weight !! I be happy to report that this vacuum be not heavy at all and probably lighter than my last . thing i love about it ... great suction , weight , and the way it lay flat to clean under furniture . thing i do not love about it ... this model do not come w \/ extension hose and the one that be on it be SHORT and i also do not care for the way the cord wind . that say , i think this be a great sweeper , especially for the price !! +507 Vacuum POS 5 the vac be fine , seem to do a great job . I be somewhat impaired when it come to anything mechanical - like put the vac together . it only involve three screw , but I could not even figure out where they be to go . I be on the verge of take it someplace for help , when I actually figure it out . +31 Vacuum NEG 2 I have read the other review , and I can only say that this vacuum do NOT run for 20 minute before lose its charge ... the response\/review from B&D; state 7 minute of continuous run time . I love the versatility of all the tool and the ease with which you can change they , but this vacuum 's run time be very short . we wash both of we car today -lrb- and they be not even really filthy inside -rrb- , and this vacuum do not have enough of a charge to even clean the interior of two car . and it be constantly plug in and charge when not in use . we have a Dustbuster for many year which be power by the B&D; VersaPak rechargeable battery , but it finally die . we have other B&D; small appliance and outdoor product which use the VersaPak battery , and I know the battery still can be purchase . however , Black & Decker no longer sell any of those product , only battery . that Dustbuster be 100 % more reliable and powerful than this minus canister vacuum . Suggestion to Black & Decker : to avoid disappointed customer , perhaps you should consider print the run time on you box . I be equally disappointed , for the same reason , with you blower and whip which we use for yard work . +36 Vacuum POS 5 I buy this about a month ago with the same intention as other who say they have a bagless and want to go back because of how gross and messy bagless vacuum be . I read review and this be rate as the highest bagged vacuum for performance , noise , etc. . I have never have anything but a cheap vacuum in the past , so my review should have that caveat . however , this vacuum be awesome ! it be far less noisy than so many other vacuum I have have and the suction be amazing . I read where other say it pick up the carpet pile , but it truly do ! my carpet have not look this good except when it be first install . and I feel like it be really clean . also , the apolestry -lrb- not spell right -rrb- attachment be awesome . in fact , I have to use that for small area rug because the vacuum be too strong for those . I be super satisfied with this vacuum , and FYI it be now $ 20 cheaper on Amazon than when I buy it with no shipping-fantastic ! the only negative to this be what other have say - the hose be short ; I wish it be longer . and it be heavy - so go up and down stair could be tough for some ; but those be really my only complaint . +243 Vacuum POS 5 this be a major upgrade from my 20 year old Oreck XL . every time I vacuum , I hear thing come up out of the carpet that have probably be there for year , even after a few pass . it be easy to move , despite its weight , and I no longer have to get on my knee to get the edge . I also have 2 cat , a dog , and 2 rabbit , and it handle all the hair\/hay\/bedding \/ litter with ease ! the only drawback be how heavy it be -- I would not want to carry it up and down stair . +421 Vacuum POS 4 like the name say usb minus vacuum the vacuum good 4 pick up really really fine thing it do no have a lot of suction cablestobuy ' black usb Powered Mini Vacuum Cleaner +228 Vacuum POS 4 overall I be pleased with this vacuum . carpet look fantastic ! only note be about the button to push with foot to release the handle to start . you definitely have to push just so to release . otherwise I be pleased and happy to not spend hundred more for a dyson . +861 Vacuum POS 5 after break my Dirt Devil bagless vac -lrb- no fault of it be own -rrb- , I have to find a new vacuum . what I favor about this vacuum be the easy release of the dirt chamber and the better filter design compare to the Dirt Devil . surprisingly , this vacuum be quite noticeably quieter than the Dirt Devil , yet do not seem to lack any power in comparison . I think at first it be weaker since it be so noticeably quieter , but that just be not the case . assembly be very easy , I recall only need to attach the handle with a single screw and it be pretty much ready to go ! I have be a Dirt Devil loyalist since my Dirt Devil Breeze be still run strong after 5 year before replace it with a new one , but Bissell have definitely impressed I with this one ... +159 Vacuum POS 5 I buy this vacuum about 5 month ago and be please with how it be work so far . I use it to clean my apartment which have a mixture of carpeted and hard floor . it be easy to change brush height when go between the two floor type , and also when go from the floor brush to the hose . there be enough hose attachment to handle any tight area the main vacuum can not reach and also any cobweb in the corner of the ceiling . these attachment also work well if you need to clean you car or any upholstered furniture . I do not have any pet , so I can not comment on how it perform with pet hair . overall it be a nice , versatile vacuum for any routine cleaning you need to do . +512 Vacuum NEG 2 at first I love it - good suction and easy to handle . but it get clogged easily and now I can not find a replacement belt and really do not want to take it to a repair shop to have someone do it for I for $ 50 ! +863 Vacuum POS 5 I be overwhelm with lug and carry around and fall over my old heavy vacuum cleaner , so purchase this one . it be small , light weight -lrb- 8 pound -rrb- , have three wheel and a lot of power , plus you can use the blower on the other end with or without attachment . so far , I be enjoy it very much . it clean just as well as the larger one , be very mobile and easy to lift when go up the stair . +331 Vacuum POS 5 I originally buy this vacuum for the car , now I use it around the house . 100 % satisfied with this product . +597 Vacuum POS 4 I like to use my Black & Decker FHV1200 Flex Vac Cordless Ultra-Compact Vacuum Cleaner -lrb- if I can be say to like to clean -rrb- . but there be definite pro and con . there be thing about it that I really like : it truly be compact , measure about 12 x 6 x10 . and it be light enough to handle easily . it be cordless , which be a big advantage in clean hard to reach place . and the high-performance motor provide great suction . it come with a 4-foot flexible hose , long crevice tool , nozzle\/brush tool , and pet-hair cleaning tool which increase its scope . and the filter be dishwasher-safe . the major downside be the performance time - about five minute . it be long enough to clean the car or swipe up kitty litter or even clean pet hair off the sofa , but it be not long enough for real cleaning . clean the dirt reservoir can be a bit dicey -lrb- but this to I be the major disadvantage of all bag-less vacuum -rrb- . and I be not a fan of the attachment storage caddy . so , if you have a ` real ' vacuum and be look for a little guy for quick or hard to reach job , this may be you baby . be it worth the $ $ $ $ ? it be well make and work well , but it be performance time be short . +667 Vacuum POS 4 this be my second 4870 ; the first one work great as long as it work , which be not very long . after a little over two year it start smell and act like something be seriously wrong which happen to be the case . that 4870gz be sit in the garage wait for I to decide what to do with it . it may be repairable or not but I have decide to retire it . you may well ask why I would buy another one , well , that be a good question . I have never own a vacuum before that stop work after only 2 + year . I hope that this early malfunction be anomalous to that particular machine and not typical of the breed . while it work , it do a really good job , therefore I have decide to give the maker and the model one more chance , and I hope I be not sorry ; I could not find a pattern of early failure on this model on the web . I also have a investment in bag , filter and belt that I hope to be able to use . I 'll admit that I feel as if I be roll the dice but hope for much better result this time . the 4870mz have a additional feature which the gz model do not have ; the small brush attachment for clean stair . although we do not have stair we do have some small carpeted space that be too narrow for the upright ; this attachment do a good job in those area . the 4870 have do a very good job on we carpet , and be easily adjust for bare floor . I be please enough to give it one more try ; if this one only work for 2 + year I will write the model off as a lose cause . only time will tell . +65 Vacuum POS 5 I usually do not take the time to write review but this vac be awesome . we have a Oreck large vac for major cleaning so I try they cordless electrikbroom and be disappointed and return it . then I order psv1800 and be blow away how well it work . design , function and durability be all super . we use it everyday -lrb- two kid under two -rrb- and constantly remark how good the vac work . Hardwood floor or carpet be easily handle with a switch . the vac fold beautifully and angle to get hard to reach place . if you need a cordless this be the one ! +480 Vacuum POS 5 the first time I use this vacuum it pick up so much dirt I have to empty the cup after clean each room of we small apartment . I find that the vacuum be also much quieter than we old one and it be also quite easy to clean . +445 Vacuum POS 5 I have own this vac for year now and when I need another I just get the exact same model . work like a champ , just like my last unit ! +460 Vacuum NEG 2 I do a ton of research before buy a new vacuum and setttle on this one with all the great review . I have to say that I have be very disappointed . not long after I start use it , the suction stop all together . I finally call Bissell and find that there be not one , not two , but five place that thing could get stop up enough to slow or stop suction . Ours be in the wand , which I have no idea would stop the suction of the entire thing , but it do then and have multiple time since . and when I empty the canister , I have to empty three different -lrb- very messy -rrb- filter . no thanks ! besides that major issue , it do a really bad job go from wood floor to rugs\/carpets . I have to pick it up to get over the lip of the rug and it miss anything that be near the edge . it also can not seem to pick up anything but tiny particle of hair and dirt off the ground - for instance a crumb or piece of paper that be on the floor will just get push around and not suck up . I be extremely frustrated with this vacuum and would not recommend it . I previously have a Dirt Devil and next time I will most definitely go back to that as it seem to be much more user friendly ! +561 Vacuum POS 5 great vacuum ! great suction power ! after replace my old and brand new Eureka from Walmart , finally I be happy and satisfied with my choice . can do great job . price be little bit high but I hope it will run for atleast 5-10 year . +681 Vacuum POS 5 MY family kill a VACUUM EVERY year . THIS THING file up in 5 min what MY ORECK COULD NOT in 2 year great value +320 Vacuum POS 5 this unit be not as powerful as some upright vacuum , but it be strong enough to get the job do . typically , I have the unit strap around my shoulder and neck , with the unit actually lie against my back . the cord be long enough that I can vacuum a significant area without re-plugging . further if I need to move furniture while vacuum , I can hang the hose over my neck , leave both of my hand free -- never have to but the unit down . the unit be not much louder than some battery operate vacuum , but be significantly more powerful . probably one of the few vacuum I have use where I be not bother by the noise . all of the attachment lock into each other , and can be quickly connect and disconnect . I have primarily use the vacuum on hard floor and low pile commercial carpet , and it perform as well as I could hope . however , I do suspect that this unit would be out perform by a unit with rotate brush on a high pile carpet . there be no special area on the unit to wrap the cord , instead the unit come with a button strap which will hold the cord after you have manually wrap it . for I , this be not a inconvenience , since it make release the cord very quick , and wrap the cord around my elbow and hand be easy enough . one of the primary reason I buy this unit be because of the lack of filter . the washable bag act as a filter , and there be two other filter on the unit which appear to be easy to clean . the bag be not as large as the canister in some upright unit , but so far it have allow I to vacuum multiple room without need to be empty . the only complaint I have for this unit be that there be no accessory attachment area . there be a bag for the unit which can be purchase separately which presumably solve this problem . all in all , the unit be design for commercial purpose . Easy to disassemble , come with a part manual , and have a general no frill design which just work . +952 Vacuum POS 4 great vacuum . do a good job cleaning and stand up to abuse very well . outlast and outperform other similarly price vacuum . great\/cheap vacuum that you can use for a long time , then replace when it finally die . +918 Vacuum POS 5 this thing be great . it be not as effective as a full size floor vacuum , but be great to pick up the dog hair in-between a thorough cleaning . it get into corner that would be difficult with a large vacuum , and work great for the carpeted stair . it take up little space charge , and be easy to unfold and use . I rarely use my hand vac now since this one work so much better . +789 Vacuum NEG 2 after read a few review , I decide to pull the trigger on this model . like most of the reviewer have state it be a easy and straight forward setup\/assembly process . however , after the first couple of use , which be great , the vacuum begin to show some issue . here be some that fall under my complaint list : - whenever I have to empty the dust bin , dust fall out all over the vacuum and back on to the floor -- even when I be very careful to try to slowly & carefully remove the dust bin . - there be a loss of suction and the motor begin to hum at a higher pitch . what I find to be helpful -lrb- and quite a bit of a manual chore -rrb- be to clean\/wash the inner sponge-like filter . this provide a little bit of relief , only for up until the next use and I would have to repeat the process . overall , I feel like this vacuum had\/has potential to be a quality product , but it just fall short in two key area for I . +373 Vacuum POS 5 the vacuum arrive very quickly and my carpet have never be cleaner . the vacuum put out a `` new car '' smell when I use it and leave nothing behind . I highly recommend this product but make sure you get backup bag because this beast miss nothing ! +548 Vacuum POS 5 I have be look for a vacumn cleaner for year that work well on hardwood floor , and do not leave my back in agony for several day afterwards . I have a home with about 3,000 . square foot and dreaded each time I have to undertake this project because I know the outcome . this vacumn be a answer prayer . it have eliminate the pain and I could not be more pleased . the canister that you wear on you back do have some weight to it , but it counterbalance the weight I carry and actually make my back feel better . the long metal vacumn hose be long enough and its design prevent I from have to bend over while I be cleaning . I be 5feet 6 inch tall , and it be perfect for I . the extra-long cord make it possible to cover the entire house without have to keep move the plug from one outlet to another . I be so glad I spend the money and buy this vacumn for myself . +959 Vacuum POS 5 this be a great value for the price . it clean very well , and I be happy with my purchase . +930 Vacuum POS 4 I want to find a vacuum that could pick up all my hair . I go on Amazon to check review of vacuum that could pick up hair without get stick in the brush of the vacuum . this be one of 3 vacuum and I decide to buy this one . I see that this be a great deal only $ 69.00 for a bagless vacuum with good review -lrb- I usually pick the cheaper vacuum but decide why not try this since review be good -rrb- . when I clean my apartment , I be amaze at how it pick up all the dirt and hair from my carpet . I would recommend this vacuum to anyone . +198 Vacuum POS 5 this vacuum be the best . and at this price ... or for any price . I have a similar model and it last I for 7 year and that be like for age for a person who vacuum the house every day or every other day . the suction be great . it be heavy , but that be because the motor be so powerful . before i buy another Eureka , i look at other brand at higher price , but i know that the best choice would be Eureka Boss 4870 . it have my highest recommendation . +136 Vacuum POS 4 I get this vacuum a couple day ago and have use it a couple of time . this be my first bagless vacuum , so I be excite to try it out . I really like it . it pick up a ton of dirt and dust from we area rug and the brush attachment come in handy on the bathroom mat . really , that be all I need to clean except for a carpeted cedar closet . everything else where I be rent be tile and hardwood floor , which be great since we live near the beach and have 2 cat . thus , I want a good vacuum which would not break the bank . this seem to fit the bill . will it hold up as well as my hand I down Sharp ? -lrb- yes , sharp and not Shark -- do not think they make they anymore or I might have go with they -rrb- . only time will tell . but for the price , I do like it . have not try to clean the filter yet , so I can not speak as to how much of a pain that might be either . I do dump it out a couple of time . I do not have too much trouble and do not spill a lot of stuff as other suggest . unless you wait until it get really full to empty it , it should not be a issue . then again , to be fair , I know it be easier say than do if you have a large area to clean . I be lucky that I have a small area . this vacuum seem to suit I well and I be really hope it hold up . we be hope to buy we first home in 1-2 year , so carpet may be in my future yet . I be hope to take it with I for a few year before look into a Dyson perhaps . +240 Vacuum POS 5 this cleaner provide excellent performance . note the S7210 twist feature the same mechanical as the high-end model at a much cheaper price . each feature tend to add about $ 100 to the base price of the twist : hepa filter , lead headlight , additional filter cartridge , electronic adjustment -lrb- instead of a knob -rrb- , full bag indicator , etc. . also notice that the twist can become the more expensive jazz just by purchase a new filter cartridge . I decide to save the $ 400 and vacuum without the led headlight and on occasion manually check if the bag be full -lrb- the horror of do something manually ! -rrb- the dual-motor system performance be league over any vacuum I have every use , include Kirby and other well-respected brand . the Miele be quiet , smooth , and powerful , just as one expect from german engineering or a swiss watch . it be like switching from a Yugo to a Mercedes . +3 Vacuum POS 4 I purchase this vacuum about 2 month ago . it work well . it pick up the dog hair , too . the only thing I do not like about it be the onboard tool . some fall off while vacuum and one of the place hold one of the tool have break so the tool do not fit on the vacuum anymore . I do not have the problem of it be too heavy as mention in other review . if you set the vacuum for the appropriate carpet height , the weight of push the vacuum be not a issue . for the price it be a great vacuum . I would purchase it again . +595 Vacuum POS 5 I have the worst luck with vacuum so it be refresh to get this one . I follow the old adage of not go for the least expensive or the most expensive but go somewhere in the middle . since I have not hear good thing about Dirt Devils and have personally have hideous luck with they , I pick this one . I know I use to have this vacuum in the past but thing have be update since . at any rate , I be worry , at first , due to the 19 pound weight but , it seem to be fine and move along almost like it be self propel but I do not think it be . I have use all attachment and all be fine . what I like about this bag-less machine as compare to other be that it be easy to remove the `` tube '' in which the dirt collect . in past experience , it have always be kind of a pain to replace the dirt holder just so . this be not the case as it slide right in and a lever move to hold it in place . this have two filter , one at the top and the other at the bottom , which be always a good thing . for $ 79.99 deliver to the door within two day of order , who could complain ? -lrb- I have Amazon Prime , which I also highly recommend for anyone who shop even 10 time a year on here because it pay for itself since shipping be soooooo expensive these day . -rrb- get a bit off track . anyhow , live for the vacuum and highly recommend it to other . Hope this review help . one more quick thing be that the cord length be fabulous . +977 Vacuum POS 5 First off , let I note that I choose this product after read the review on amazon and also the review on -lrb- ... -rrb- my duplex be all linoleum and I have 2 cat and 1 dog-an akita . as you can imagine , there be a lot of pet hair that get accumulate throughout the house . I have now use this vacuum for over a week now , and have fall in love with its ease of use , the amount of dirt and pet hair it pick up , and its long charge . it pick up pet hair with ease , and pick up a lot of dirt that I would not have be able to get with a broom alone . the user manual state that fully charge it can last as long as 16 minute on hard floor without the brush . however , I have find it last a good 20 + minute . in fact , I have yet to not vacuum my entire duplex -lrb- 1000 sq foot -rrb- with it loose it be charge ! I notice several review on this product state how heavy it be to lift over the trash can and what a pain it be . I be 8 1\/2 month pregnant and be able to lift the vacuum over we kitchen-sized trash can with ease . be it a little bulky ? sure , but it pick up so much dirt and pet hair that it be worth I lift it over the trash can . after every use I have remove the filter as well to brush it out to get even more dust out . the only thing negative I can say about this be the fact that when I receive it in the mail , it take 24 hour to fully charge up - however you be go to find that with anything like that - when you get a new cell phone be a prime example . if you be on the fence about purchase this , I can tell you first hand it be a worthwhile purchase . my husband be doubtful that we really `` need '' this , after all - we have a full size vacuum cleaner . however give the fact that I be pregnant , I need something lighter and more portable . this be great for a quick cleaning or if you just need to clean one room of you house . I be clean my whole house with it now and it be work great ! +383 Vacuum POS 5 I be debate whether to give it 4-stars since my wife -lrb- who be the actual `` tester '' -rrb- indicate that she only complaint be that she sometimes have trouble transition up onto throw-rug from bare floor . but she be very happy with it be quieter than we old Kenmore and feel that it be a lot more maneuverable . and she like the handle which be a lot more covenient compare to we previous vacuum . I personally love its clean\/tight\/lean appearance and overall high quality of design -lrb- build like a tank -rrb- . perhaps they could work on the door design for bag replacement . the closure mechanism be not quite up to quality of remainder of the machine . oh yea ... we small dog give it 5-stars as well -lrb- quieter -rrb- . question : this review be for the `` Miele S7 twist s7210 Upright Vacuum Cleaner -lrb- kitchen -rrb- '' yet there be another product review for `` Miele : S7210 twist Upright Vacuum -lrb- Royal Blue -rrb- -lrb- kitchen -rrb- '' . note `` s7 '' for this one . both be for same price yet this s7 list for $ 649 , the other for $ 549 . any difference ? Pretty similar comment result but think I would point it out . +627 Vacuum POS 5 in the past i be a custodian and custodial supervisor . i dont think ive use a better vac , bar none ! buy it for my new apt . the first time i use it , suck over 2 pound of dirt , out of carpet that have be clean and vacumm prior to I vacumm ! ive use dyson and everything you could name . if you want a real vac , mean a bagged vac ! bagless be garbage in my eye ! dont hesitate ! well worth its weight in gold ! +449 Vacuum POS 4 I see a lot of negative review about this item before I buy it . however , it seem that the negative review be due to unrealistic expectation . this be a small vacuum cleaner for small job . I use it to pick up dry leaf and grass on the floor that get track in by my pet . I think it be a handy , very utilitarian vacuum for small job . +244 Vacuum NEG 1 if you do not have any pet , this vacuum may work better for you . but I have have a terrible time with it , especially clean out the dirt cup . EVERY TIME I use this thing , vacuum up cat hair clog up in the space just above the cup -lrb- all around the teal plastic part in the `` cleanview helix '' area -rrb- , which prevent the fur -lrb- and a good chunk of whatever else you just suck up -rrb- from fall down into the cup . so whenever I take out the cup to clean it , a bunch of dust\/cat litter\/dirt\/other nasty stuff fall all over the place . to make matter worse , some of the fur\/carpet fluff do not fall down on its own , so I have to put my hand up inside and pull it all out manually , which result in a disgusting mess every time I use it . I try clean it out between different room , think maybe I be let the cup get too full , but nope , the hair still get stick . poor design for pet owner . I be go to look for a vacuum with bag to replace this thing -lrb- why be vacuum with bag so hard to find these day ?! -rrb- , because if this be any indication of how the one with so-called `` easy to clean '' dirt cup work , I be out . Addendum : the `` filter '' at the bottom section be also a huge mess to clean . the inner core of the filter be a plastic cylinder that have a bunch of groove inside that collect dust and be hard to wash out . I imagine this part will eventually need replace . the outer layer be a sponge that collect dust -lrb- boy do it ever ! -rrb- , and need to be wash out regularly or the vacuum start to lose suction . Yay , more get you hand dirty with all the crud the vacuum get out of the carpet ! -lrb- ? -rrb- once clean , both part have to dry completely before you put they back together , so you can not use it for about a day , even to vacuum up the dust that inevitably fall back out of the vacuum when you open it up to clean it . tl ; dr : this vacuum suck for pet owner because fur clog it up . the filter be also a mess to clean . +972 Vacuum POS 4 this vacuum work well , and the power paw be amazing . it get animal hair off the furniture and rug that be otherwise hard to clean . it be great on bare floor and carpet . the only con be that it be pretty heavy to push on thicker pile carpet and the attachment hose be short and very springy , so you have to drag the whole vacuum with you , but the telescoping attachment help with that . overall , it be great for the price . I just can not spend $ 500 on a Dyson , it be against my moral . +785 Vacuum POS 5 I really do not understand what all you people be whine about give this bad reveiew . the thing go together in like under a minute with a undersized screwdriver ! the hose be not too short , it be just new . as far as it `` burn '' the floor when lean on , DONT lean on it . for everyone who have ` super sensitive hearing ' ... it be a vacuum , what do you expect ? there be much worse out there . lastly , as far as the `` horrible smell '' . there be a reason the instruction say to `` dry thoroughly '' . if the filter be damp , and you put they back in ... they will mildew . it be not hard to figure out if you use a little common sense and read the direction . company spend lot of money research these thing so they generally be pretty correct if you follow the direction . people be really something . I give this vacuum 5 star . dare to think for yourself . +962 Vacuum POS 4 buy this product primarily for clean the car and small accident and job around the house . the cordless feature be a definite plus when do the car and quick job like vacuum a hard to reach corner , edge or books\/bookcases . it do a nice job of a dust off a bookcase that have not be clean in several month , but I find that empty the dust from the bin be not quite a open and shake operation . a bunch of the dust clump in the back of the collector bin filter do not empty out until I remove the filter and use a small brush to help it empty out . the vacuum be extremely portable and -lrb- for I -rrb- have a rather loud whinning motor noise . but I guess this be to be expect with a small vacuum with expose exhaust . Trumps the dustbuster I previously own with more suction and a hose feature . +135 Vacuum POS 4 this be a little powerhouse of a vacuum ! I love the fact that the wand be make of metal . I have have other that crack especially at the connection . it clamp on nicely when you attach the accessory . the vacuum be light weight , compact and easy to maneuver around the house . I use it mainly for wood floor , stair , upholstery and all those little area . it do a excellent job on the upholstery which be the main reason I buy it in the first place . it have amazing suction , good air flow , and a extra long , heavy duty cord . it be small enough that I keep the entire unit and all the accessory in a recycle bag hanging in my utility closet . I be so pleased with the value of this product . you will not be dissappointed ! +370 Vacuum NEU 3 Disclaimer : we home be large and get vacuum almost every day . add to that we housekeeper be rough on thing . many part be now hold together with duct tape , and part have break off . but the biggest issue be that she have to take it all apart and wash out the filter ring and leave it in piece in my garage to dry out , so if I need to use the machine -lrb- which happen alot with 2 boxer who bring leaf and branch in the house -rrb- I have to spend 15 minute figure how to put it all back together again first . and it be heavy . the catch that hold it in a upright position be break so when you lift it the head fall down -lrb- make I lift higher -rrb- and it must be prop up at a precarious angle when not in use . fall over when use the attachment . for the price I suppose it be okay , and since the housekeeper be so NON Gentle , I be not go to invest in a high-end Miele -lrb- which be what I really want -rrb- . we last vacuum be a Dyson and do not fare well either , so I be stick to the under $ 100 appliance . I think this vacuum be about a year old , maybe almost 2 . so I suppose for the price , and get near daily use for at least a hour , it do the job . but it be on it be last leg . sorry for horrible sentence structure , I be in a rush . +676 Vacuum POS 4 I just recently purchase this vacuum and I be very pleased with it . it be powerful and pick up alot of dust . +309 Vacuum POS 5 I love this vacuum ! it have great suction , it be lightweight , and it be easy to empty . +701 Vacuum POS 5 you get alot of vacuum with the Eureka Boss , for half of what you would pay on other . +177 Vacuum POS 5 the moment I plug this vacuum in and turn it on , I love it ! I love the fact that I be not tug on a canister behind I all around the house . I can vacuum a entire floor from one plug because of the long power chord . the suction be excellent . the motor be relatively quiet . I like the small head for vacuum in small place . I would highly recommend this vacuum to anyone with hard wood floor . +466 Vacuum NEU 3 I order this vacuum to clean up small mess from my young child . when I first get it . . I like it a lot . the battery last a long time and it be small and compact when fold . it be a little annoying to empty out . . -lrb- you have to fold it and lift the vacuum to dump it into the trash can -rrb- but not too bad . after I use it a couple of time , I realize the brush be tangle with hair and string and other debris . I have to cut it out to make the brush work . now it do not have very good suction . . not sure why . I have have it less than a year . I like it . . but for the price I would not get it again . +267 Vacuum POS 4 the plus be the price be right , it be lightweight , and easy to assemble . the suction be ok , but not the best I have see in a vacuum . its very easy to empty . it seem better at pick up lightweight item like hair and dust . it seem to have trouble pick up heavy thing like coin and nail . if the suction be stronger I would have give it 5 star . this be my first bagless unit and I be mostly pleased as it be the least expensive unit available . +690 Vacuum POS 5 pricey . but worth it ! best vacuum I have ever own . quiet . Great for clean both wood and carpet floor , furniture , curtain . Easy to handle . it be pick up ton of cat hair and debris my other well-rated vacuum be miss . I love it ! +845 Vacuum POS 5 I be really impressed so far . the machine be so quiet and powerful , seem to have even more suction than my industrial vacuum in the garage . it seem well construct of good quality material . compare to my other vaccuum -lrb- bissell upright -rrb- it be a Mercedes . I be always a bit concerned about longevity on import product but so far not a single issue -lrb- few month own -rrb- . hopefully the bag be not prohibitively expensive cause they be also very well craft with a look of high cost . the new machine come with two of they . the unit work seemlessly on a multitude of surface . the ability to shut off the brush roll be wonderful for delicate rug . the innovative swivel neck be something all vacuum of this size should have . +289 Vacuum POS 5 my husband and I have be in the market for a new vaccuum for quite a while now . we buy a rinky-dink Dirt Devil for $ 20 when we move into we first apartment together and for 700sf , it do the trick . two kid , two cat and about 300sf more , we definitely need a vacuum that would be reasonably price but work a little bit harder . we definitely hum and haw over this vacuum after look at similar brand and model at the same price point . we decide to try it out since it could not possibly be worse than the one we have and needless to say I be already very pleased with it . I try it out on a little strip of carpeting and the amount of dirt it pick up be amazing . I probably would not suggest this vacuum for a house but it definitely fit the bill for a apartment . its a little noisier than we other vacuum -lrb- its get 2 amp more -rrb- but I would not expect it to be much quieter at its price point . all in all , a great deal for anyone look for a resonably price vacuum . +430 Vacuum NEU 3 -- not bad really but not for suck up bowele ball . need more amp power . +389 Vacuum POS 5 AKA money saver . buy this cleaner recently after go through some consumer review . i like it . it have good suction power and nice attachment to clean difficult area of you vehicle . attractive look design and reasonable price . i recommend it . +362 Vacuum POS 5 I really like this product . it have a lot of power for those clean up job that you do not want to drag the big sweeper out for . +616 Vacuum POS 4 I have only have this vacuum about 5 week but so far it do everything I want or expect and do it well . because I have a combination of tile and carpet along with a very large , very hairy dog and a large fuzzy cat , I need a cleaner that do both type of flooring and pick up all the many kind of dirt that come with two such animal . my requirement for a vacuum cleaner be that it be bag no bagless for I , thanks anyway -rrb- , adjust from hard floor to carpet and have strong suction to pick up the pet dirt . this one meet all those requirement . the only quibble I have have with the Eureka be lack of information in the `` Quick Start '' instruction . the machine go together easily and those instruction be clear and precise , then I want to vacuum carpet . the lever on the head of the sweeper that you use to specify either bare floor or carpet would not engage in the carpet position , it keep flip back to bare floor . after envision have to disassemble , pack up , ship back and be totally frustrated with the whole thing , I call Eureka customer Service . it turn out that the handle have to be in the reclining position for that swith to engage , which be never mention in any of the instruction . I release the handle , move the switch , it engage and I be in business ! now how hard would it have be for Eureka to include that one small item in the Quick Start instruction ? if they think that should be intuitive , they would be wrong , at least in my case . the machine be a bit heavy , as other reviewer have note , but not to the point of be unmanagable ; I lift it over two baby gate that I have install for my very rambunctious dog without problem . additionally , the foot pedal to release the handle be a little stiff but I expect that will relax with use . I have see reviewer compare this vacuum with a brand that sell for nearly 3 time what this do ; if you be spend less than $ 200 , you should not expect the machine to perform the same as one that cost nearly $ 600 . that be say , while I have never own one of those very expensive machine , I can not imagine what they be capable of that this cleaner be not . in any case , this one do everything I need and do it well ... I be just estastic to have a vacuum that I can use on tile floor ! while I have not have it long enough to address its durability , it seem to be very solid and well-made . I have always own hoover so this be my first Eureka and , thus far , I be very well satisfy with it . +141 Vacuum NEU 3 I buy this to replace another Eureka Boss Vacume cleaner , that finally wear out . it be very similar but the vacume hose be much shorter on this new one . I be estimate it at 5 foot but I believe Eureka state it be longer . I replace the vacume hose on my old Eureka twice so I know this one will break\/tear also at the noozle . I have already order the extended 15 foot vacume hose to replace the short hose one on the new one . would recommend anyone buying this vacume cleaner to also buy the 15 foot extend hose at the same time . with that say , the vacume cleaner perform well , especially on carpet . it be noisy but most vacume cleaner be . I like this new one . have always have Eureka cleaner and be happy with they . give it three star because the hose be just too short on it . buy the 15 foot extension and you have a great cleaner . +879 Vacuum POS 4 I do have to say this be one of the best vacuum I have use as far as suction . I do not know my carpet have nap until I use this one . this model have such good review that I purchase it in spite of it not have a few feature I usually prefer think it do not matter . it do matter and if I have it to do over again , I would have choose a vacuum with those feature . pro : ~ great suction , even use a extra long hose . ~ long cord allow I to vacuum entire apartment without stop to unplug and replug in each room con : ~ the edge of the vacuum only pick on up the right side . there be about a 5 '' strip that do not pick up on the left side . I figure I would just turn the vacuum around for the left side . that be not always possible or be very difficult depend on wall and furniture arrangement . ~ no front light . do not think that matter , but after use one without it , it really do help to have that light show what be in front of the vacuum . ~ LOL , the long cord - sometimes get tangled and a lot to round up . but it be worth it to be able to reach without have to unplug and replug . ~ do not come with the hose that go out the back -lrb- unless you somehow disconnect and reattach the hose on the unit ??? - I could not figure that one out -rrb- so I order a extra long one . Wish I go with 5 foot but I want to be sure I could reach the ceiling for bug . it be a pain to store and use , but it do work and it be always long enough ! on my budget , it be not worth re-invest in a new vacuum and this one do work well . I just wish I have get one with suction on both side , a light in front , and a shorter hose . +429 Vacuum NEU 3 great suction , pivot be a plus , and switching from brush to no-brush be fantastic . Cordless be the biggest selling point . I have no complaint about the battery life . empty the dust bin be a nightmare . the dust bin be inseparable from the vacuum , so I have to fold the vacuum in half , lift the hatch , and dump the dust out over a garbage can . since I have a cat , I often have to get my hand in the bin to get the hair off the filter . all-in-all , empty the dust bin be terrible . +44 Vacuum NEU 3 I purchase this vacuum over a month ago but be short a attachment . upon discover this on the day that the order arrive I immediately try contact the company and as you can notice on this site and on my receipt from this order there be no contact telephone number only a email contact . so after numerous email I still have not receive a response of any kind . however , I love the vacuum and would highly recommend it however try purchase it through another company because obviously this company 's customer service be extremely poor . +368 Vacuum POS 4 very happy with product . easy to use . strong suction which really get all the dust that may be trap in rug . +762 Vacuum POS 5 I use it on all flooring surface in my home . buy it to replace a dirt devil cordless vacuum , this be by far a better vac . +978 Vacuum NEG 1 I buy this vacuum less than a year ago and it just break for the third time . I have no pet and no child . there be no tough job that this vacuum have to deal with . yet , it keep break down over crumb ! I regret not buy at a store that have a fix it year warrenty . +974 Vacuum NEG 1 my husband buy this vacuum to replace we eureka bagless vac . it be great after the first use but after a couple time of use it start have the same problem as we past vac . it start to spit out debris behind and also when when you use the attachment , it also blow out dust . such a pain to clean the filter . now I be really think of go back to the old school bag vac . do anybody know a vacuum worth the money anymore ?! +254 Vacuum NEG 1 I get this vacuum a few week ago and i hate it , it be awful it do not really suck up anything . I would not recommend this : -rrb- +76 Vacuum NEG 1 I have use this vacuum twice , and it be awkwardly design - the hose and the cord be continually get in the way of each other . although I do not think the release lever feel like it would break off , it be very hard to manage - I could not release it with my foot - I have to bend down and push hard with my hand every time I want to release it . but my biggest gripe be that I can see puff of dust that it blow out the front . I check the bag twice , and it seem to be in place , but for a hepa vacuum , it be generate a lot of dust . what a waste of money ! +334 Vacuum NEU 3 the machine be way too loud when vacuum carpet . switch the machine to use the tool require too much time . the hose do not stay in place . +500 Vacuum POS 4 I have have my vacuum for 3 + month and think it perform well . it easily pick up Christmas tree needle . the one negative be it be heavy to carry upstairs or downstairs . I be pleased with my purchase . +532 Vacuum POS 5 this be a excellent vacuum . I definitely recommend it . especially with free shipping it be a bargain and it show up right away . Easy assembly and do a great job ! +34 Vacuum POS 5 we have a 2-story house with both terrazzo and quarry tile floor and a spiral staircase connect the 2 level . it be really tiresome bang around with a canister vac and lug it up and down those d \*\* n stair , so when I see a janitor with a backpack vac , a light go on ! I do ton of research and this vacuum be so well-priced compare to some , it have simple attachment and a very long cord , reach up to we 11-foot ceiling and you can use disposable bag if you wish . I can get around the entire floor without unplug and can even vacuum those stair easily . it be not the sleekest look machine and it make my husband laugh when I put it on but that be ok because it work like a charm and I do not bang into the furniture any more . +163 Vacuum POS 5 I love the fact that I do not have to drag out the bigger machine each time I need to vacuum the kitchen area . I have not find any problem with this machine thus far and I have be use it about 2 month . the filter be not hard to clean either ... I just take it out to the shop and use the air-hose on it !!! +829 Vacuum POS 5 I have go through 6 cleaner in about 6 year . could not find a machine that do a good job ... until now . this machine be great and the price be very reasonable . +668 Vacuum POS 5 the Hoover Commercial Portapower Vac : I love this vac . I have shoulder problem and can not push a big vac . the suction on this be fantastic , the industrial cord super long . the reusable bag - very sturdy but the absolute best part be the click in component -lrb- not to downplay the suction -rrb- . the hose stay together . this be replace a Hoover windtunnel and a Eureka Boss upright for attachment cleaning as the hose on the windtunnel be too difficult to extend far and the Boss attachment would spring apart with any kind of tension . this be perfect for step , car , the laundry room and ceiling as you simply walk and suction . the one drawback be that I have a favorite horsehair brush attachment that do not fit due to they latch design but they provide more than enough attachment to make up for that . I wish consumer vac could produce such a sturdy hose system . +283 Vacuum NEU 3 I just purchase the Miele twist and I know how these review be important to I , so I hope that I can help someone esle who be consider the Miele s7 series -lrb- any model -rrb- . I research the motor as I be tell by the salesperson that the `` twist '' have a cheaper motor than the Salsa , etc. . this be not true . they all have the same motor - look at Miele 's website . the $ 100 difference be the filter and headlight . you can purchase the better filter and put it in the twist and have the same machine without the light . I debate on purchase off of the web , so I could save money . in my research I find that Authorized Dealers DO NOT honor the warranty if purchase from the web !!! so buyer beware . upon purchase and give it a test run , when I go to use the hose attachment it come out of the machine before I could even stretch it to full length , which be really not very far , if you like to vac high place - forget it . the hose attachment be much like a dryer vent . bottom line : the Miele twist be very easy to vac with and because it be on a petite side it can get to many little place and the swivel future be wonderful . it vacuum well , however , go over the same area with my old Riccar , I could hear it pick up debris that apparently the Miele miss . I think this machine be good , however , I think there be other that might be better for the price . I rate it a 3 star . +842 Vacuum POS 5 I have Fibromyalgia and have be look for a light weight cordless vacuum . this hold the charge long enough to do my whole house . I have 3 dog and it handle the dog hair , too ! someone write that it be difficult to empty , but I have no problem do that at all . I now have 4 other cordless vacuum wait to go in my yard sale ! this one be great ! +502 Vacuum POS 5 I have a fairly cramped home office with large furniture and two computer , along with two full surge suppressor and a printer stand . I also have two cat and a fairly severe dust allergy . I need something light , small , maneuverable and powerful enough to get up dust and regular re-application of cat hair among all the cord and equipment . my home be a two-story new build with those annoying outlet that cut the circuit breaker if you plug anything into they that it detect as surge-y , so I be have to run my big upright vacuum cleaner from downstairs off a very long extension cord . big pain . not to mention that the big upright do not go under my desk easily . I can now use this handy little vacuum to keep my office much cleaner . I can easily get around the computer and surge suppressor , which I have up off the floor use wire shoe rack . this vacuum even fit under the printer stand , which be fairly low to the ground . be cordless , it also make vacuum the carpeted stair from the first to second floor a much , much easier job than it use to be . unlike another reviewer , I have have no problem with pet hair gunk up the beater bar . give how much I empty out of it , it seem to pick up cat hair very , very well . first time I vacuum my small office , I swear I get enough pet hair to make a third cat . the vacuum on its charger just sit next to my recycle bin and take up very little floor space . +831 Vacuum POS 5 my other great machine last 23 year . . this one even seem better . you can not inprove a perfect product . Hope Hoover never change it . . +472 Vacuum POS 5 we recently purchase the twist when a 3 year-old Bissell fail . we do considerable research online & consider various review in the process . because we have a Labrador Retriever with pet-hair issue , we target Dyson & Miele as the best probable solution . we go to a local dealer & test both head-to-head . the Miele pick up test debris that the Dyson do not , so we choose the twist model price well-below Dyson 's comparable model . we could not be more pleased with the selection . it pick up everything & change a bag may be a add expense , but it be so much easier & neater than dump a dust cannister . the Miele make the carpet look & `` feel '' much cleaner & more like-new , & do a far-superior job to previous vacuum on bare wood floor . the only challenge be to figure out the easiest way to clean stair , but once master , it be not a problem . you will definitely pay more for the Miele , but it be a superior performer & with separate motor for the beater-brush & the suction , it be pretty much guarantee to last far longer than other less-expensive variety . give the Miele a test & you 'll be convince as to its quality . +210 Vacuum POS 5 it be pretty rare when I would rate a product with 5 star but the Roomba or Simon as we call it in we house , have make we life so much easier . yes it do have its drawback in that you need to clean the brush , empty the canister and it only will do so much square footage on one charge but overall it be a great product , +14 Vacuum POS 5 this vacuum replace a older Sanyo vacuum that be wear out . we buy the Sanyo from a local vacuum dealer , but we decide not to visit he when we need a replacement since he be difficult to deal with and charge too much . the Carpet pro CPU 2t look a lot like the Sanyo and have good review , so I buy it . upon its arrival , I be amaze at the similarity between the Carpet pro and the Sanyo . it use the same bag -lrb- Panasonic type `` u-3 '' -rrb- and the same belt as well , so we be able to continue use the spare bag & belt from we Sanyo . the CPU 2t do not have a light , but that be just as well , since the light on the Sanyo be not very helpful and tend to burn out frequently . physically , the CPU 2t look just like the Sanyo , disassemble like the Sanyo , and sound just like the Sanyo . since the Sanyo vacuum be a excellent performer , I be not surprise by the Carpet pro 's excellent performance . the accessory port \/ clean-out port on the back of the Carpet pro be a bit different and require a bit of attention before vacuum -lrb- need to be sure it be not accidentally leave open -rrb- , but it be a improvement on the Sanyo and just part of get a new vacuum . the CPU 2t be easy to use and be quite effective on carpet & rug . it be a powerful vacuum , and it have a long cord that allow I to vacuum several room without change outlet . the hose bracket on the back be a effective handle for carry the vacuum around , and the weight be low enough to allow my preteen kid to carry the vacuum around the house -lrb- include up and down stair -rrb- for cleanup . my old Sanyo vacuum serve I well for nearly a decade , and I expect the Carpet pro will do the same . I look at and test all kind of different vacuum before go with the Carpet pro . Dyson get good review , but I feel like I be vacuum with a large -lrb- expensive -rrb- toy . many of the other I try feel flimsy or look easy to break . some weigh too much , and some have too many gadget . I want a straightforward , effective , everyday vacuum cleaner for carpet and rug . the Carpet pro fit the bill and do not cost a mint . I be happy with it . +590 Vacuum POS 4 I get this as a replacement for the Swivel Sweeper , which have a update battery and be thoroughly clean , but still do not work as well as out of the box . this sweeper\/vacuum be sturdier , make quite a bit better , of course . I have 100 % bare floor , with a few throw rug and mud trapper entry rug . what get drug in be mostly sand of various size . I have a cat and dog , both long hair and proficient shedder . the vacuum do well on the sand , except for the large grain and very fine dust . it be death on dust bunny and hair , human and animal . it do not have edge cleaner , regardless of what the description say , so if there be something along a wall , you be go to have to go at it straight on , with the vacuum head perpendicular to the wall . other than extremely low pile rug , this vacuum will not clean much of anything in the rug department . the design problem : it fold in half to sit in its charge station , which although awkward , be ok . that same function , fold in the opposite direction , allow you to get under most of the furniture without have to bend over , about 2 ft. in reach . that be a very nice feature . the latch be pretty easy to do on the fly . whoever think of the canister and filter design need to have they head examine . it be a serious pita to dump the debris . most vacuum that be bagless have a whole canister that come out of the main machine . this one do not , so you have to hang onto it while you turn in on the side to dump it . two of the filter come out , but put they back in , you be never sure if you have they seat tight . I also start it up outside the first time after I have dump the debris . otherwise the big cloud of dust it alwsy give off the first time after dump the dirt will make a mess right back in you house . unless you use the vacuum and the sweeper function together , it be not go to pick up anything . Make sure the slider switch be all the way to the bottom of its stop , ensure both the sweeper and the vacuum be on . several time I have miss have the slider switch all the way to its stop , and the result be that it spit everything back out . it be not a bad product . it work well for bare floor . it have some design limitation . I wish mechanical engineer and designer would get together with people who actually use these thing on a fairly consistent basis . they might come up with a product that people would beat a path to they door to buy without reservation . +493 Vacuum POS 5 this be the best vacuum you can buy . any of Miele 's vacuum be a great choice and will last for year to come . this vacuum be awesome . upgrade to the better powerhead seb 236 and WOW !!! +438 Vacuum POS 4 this little vaccum cleaner be great it pick up everything on my floor mat ... very long cord and no recharge worry . +32 Vacuum NEG 1 it may be use , but do not work at all . part miss . have try to cancel purchase as I find that it could be buy NEW for CHEAPER than use !

I have wait for about half a year to get my hand on the much-anticipated sequel to , IMO , the greatest game in existance . I be play it nearly non-stop since I buy it . now that I have finally make it to the end , I be leave with nothing but a unsatisfied , empty feeling in my gut . Voice Acting : most of the voice be excellent . I have some trouble with a few of they , though . Mandalore 's voice seem to change from talk through a helmet and talk without the helmet a couple of time , despite the fact that he outfit never change . a few of the npc speak so quietly I could not hear a word they say . there be - many - time the word do not match the subtitle . Game play : my computer have the - recommend - component , and it lock up every other time the load screen pop up . there be ton of glitch , and some problem just due to bad programming -lrb- like people stand up or fall down when they be not suppose to in the movie , force shield disappear when you be talk to people who be capture , mouth move when that character be not the one talking , etc -rrb- . on another note , there be hardly - any - direction . in this one , you be pretty much just walk around without a purpose , hope to bump into whatever the heck it be you be look for . character : at first , I would have say that the cast of the second be even better than the first , but I still have a few reservation . I would give up Mira to have Bastila again any day . Kreia be annoying , and it seem no matter what I say , I lose influence with she . hk-47 be - terribly - underused in this one . romance : terrible . although it be great in the beginning , the tension build up and just do not go anywhere . when I first meet Atton , I be think , ` boy ! this guy be - so - much better than Carth . ' but complete lack of conversation make the tension dull a little quick . where in KOTOR , Carth be give Revan the ' I want to be you reason for live ' speech , in KOTOR II around the same place , atton be still skulk in the dark , leering at the exile and bad-mouth the disciple but never confront the issue . the character of the Disciple get farther than Atton do by actually - admit - he feeling for the exile to atton , and it make it hard to believe that - atton - be in fact the female character 's main love interest . it be pathetic , to say the least . Storyline : ous . so it start off very well . I keep playing , get farther through the game and wait for the climax . I be think up conspiracy theory in my head . could atton , or even Sion be a resurrect Malak ? be Kreia secretly Bastila or Revan , either disguise herself with the force , or somehow twist by this new emptiness that plague the galaxy ? with all this talk of echo , be nihilus just a echo of one of the other character , a second living embodiment create by the force ? so many different possibility , so many different way it could go . but eventually , I get to the end , and it go - nowhere - . after 96 or so hour of playing , I be leave with nothing . there be no resolution , no answer . where be Revan ? I do not know . do Atton really deal with he past , and do he love the Exile ? I do not know . what relation do Kreia have with revan , or with the Exile ? I do not know . what be the point of play this entire game ? I just do not know . and now , I be leave with only broken promise , built-up excitement that come crash down on I . there be no satisfying ending , no answer , no nothing . and I refuse to believe that this end be somehow justified simply for the promise of another sequel . KOTOR I have a perfect , satisfying end , and it still leave - plenty - of room for a sequel . whereas I have replay KOTOR three or four time , I can not even bring myself to play the sequel a second time , just to be grossly disappointed again as I reach the end . +399 Video_Games POS 5 the strike be as close to actually fishing as a game can be ! it be challenging and full of surprise ! one word of caution . . skip the extra cost of the `` fishing pole '' . it be more of a impediment that a asset when play the game . +231 Video_Games NEU 3 be smitten by turtle -lrb- why I have no idea -rrb- , I think this would be a humorous addition to my computer desk . sadly , it give up the ghost after only 6 week of use . +462 Video_Games NEG 1 I be 14 year old . it be kind of embarass that I could not get past the second level in a Rugrats kid game . I 'll keep try , but for now I would not reccomend this game . +106 Video_Games POS 5 Bethesda be notorious for well make open world game , though there be some bug ; the few I have run across be minor and not game breaking . buy skyrim , kiss you family goodbye and enter skyrim ... +948 Video_Games POS 5 the ps2 be the best game system out there . it have the most game out , and the best game out . it look the coolest , may not have the best graphic but in psx magazine they say the game maker only tap into the gaming system on like 70 % so in the end if they make a game that can get the most out of the system ps2 have the best graphic . I be a big gamer the x-box be a alright game system have best graphi but freeze to much and lack good game . the gamecube just pure junk lack good game look like crap cant play dvd 's , have o.k graphi but not as good as ps2 's or x-box 's basicly it be for the little kid department -lrb- like mario , zelda , etc. -rrb- + gamecube steal alot of ps2 's game cause it cant think of there own game the only good thing about it be that it have 4 controller port that it ... if you look for a game system to buy get ps2 ! ps2 graphic :4.5 game :5.0 game play :5.0 x-box graphic :5.0 game :4.0 game play :4.0 GAMECUBE graphic :4.5 game :4.5 game play :4.0 -lrb- and on another note ever notice that game cube and x-box game have `` only for x-box and gamecube '' ps2 dont have they cause they aint stick up like they -rrb- + the gamecube fan allways pick on ps2 and x-box say lie . if it wasnt for they i would like gamecube but i dont . ps2 rock ! x-box O.K. GAMECUBE suck !! +530 Video_Games POS 5 many kinect game need to use you body very hard but Body and Brain connection can be play by easy movement so anyone can play . the difference between d be that even if you know the answer you can not move you body immediately . but through the training the body start to react faster and faster and this experience be only for Kinect . and it be also enjoyable with family and friend . +201 Video_Games POS 5 these headphone be awesome ! I go the cheap route at first get a few other like the triton and I have the plantronic gamecom for my pc . I then get the x41 which be pretty close to these , except without the Bluetooth , and other advanced feature . a few week later these come out , and I return the x41 's to get these . these headphone have all the feature I be look for . I can play use my xbox or the PS3 . currently on the 360 I have to use the wire headset connector , but they just come out with a Bluetooth attachment to you controller that get rid of that cord as well . you can also pair these with you phone and answer phone call without take you headset off . connect : the input connector be with a optical digital signal -lrb- there be also a analog input -rrb- this mean that out of the box you would have to keep switching cord if you want to go back and forth between the 2 . what i do be connect my px5 to the digital optical output from my av receiver -lrb- older Harman Kardon -rrb- . this allow I to switch input without have to mess with wire . I can also use they to get surround sound from movie and tv show from my set top box . sound Quality : when I first connect these I think the sound be still come from the speaker in the room , that be how directional the sound be . I have to take they off to make sure that it be actually the headset produce the sound . I would say these be better than use you surround speaker to play game , since you do not have the ambient noise in the room distract you from the sound of the game . additional feature : there be a interesting voice editor , which allow you to change you voice when chat online . you can change you pitch to sound like like a chipmunk to a necromorph , and whatever you want use the custom editor . make for some fun in a Halo post game lobby if you want to mess with the oppose team . Summary : these be great to use if you want great sound , and you do not want to distract other around you . yea they be a bit pricey for headphone , but definitely worth it . they be definitely cheaper than get a surround sound setup if you do not already have one . +469 Video_Games POS 5 we purchase Epic Mickey for we 10 year old son for Christmas . he be a avid gamer and have play through almost all of the Mario game , as well as a few Link game , so we be very surprised to see we son have such a difficult time with the game . the reason why he be have a hard time with it be not because it be difficult to control - on the contrary , it be very easy . it be because it be the type of game where you really need to take you time . epic Mickey be not a `` rush through and finish it out to win it '' game , but be , rather , truly a epic adventure . you get to be Mickey in a entirely new -lrb- or old , depend on how you look at it -rrb- world , where he need not only to save himself , but to help many other . the game change depend on how you play it . if you help out a lot of people , for instance , they 'll be there to lend you a hand when you may need it . or you can skip help other and can just rush through the game yourself , but if you do this the game be a bit more difficult . pro - the control . you get to run around and paint and thin thing . how much fun be that ? grant you can not paint or thin everything , but there be a large number of thing that you can paint and thin , and what you choose to do change the way the land around you look , truly personalize the game . - the sheer size of it . it be huge . it be a game where you can run all over the place and still not see everything , much like Disney World itself . - the sentiment . we just get back from Disney and see some of the same thing , like `` mean '' street and the Disney statue , be so sentimental for I . and watch Mickey 's animated face when he see Walt 's statue - priceless ! con - the camera control - you do not have full , complete camera control like you do in some game , and I can see where that would be frustrate to some people . to I , however , it be just another challenge to the game , and it do not bother I too badly . epic Mickey be a great game - not the easiest game , but definitely great . it actually get emotion out of I whenever one of the character be unremembered by Mickey , and when they talk about be forget about by the world . any video game that can not only challenge you and intrigue you , but also make you feel emotion , be a good one to I . +643 Video_Games POS 5 simply put , do not get a memory card for you gc unless it be Nintendo brand . how many time have I have memory card constantly become corrupted and have file mysteriously disappear ? but this have never happen with the first party brand . there really be no other choice . buy first party memory card , or do not buy they at all . +274 Video_Games POS 5 much better , in my humble opinion , than the original game . more trigger for scary moment , and just a over-all excellent game ! so turn off the light , up you volume , and play . +890 Video_Games POS 4 overall I think this game be pretty hot and like play it . in my opinion the graphic be phenomenal , the storyline keep I interested and it work very well on my laptop with little to no problem . I also really like the fact that it make you think and actually use you brain in order to decide what to do with all the object you have collect however I find myself get stick multiple time in the game . this be my biggest issue and it get to the point where I have to go to a cheat\/walkthrough site just to help move I forward to the next level\/board . I will admit that some object collect make absolutely no sense to I until find out what to do with they after read the walkthrough . and I wish this be not so , because I would have find more satisfaction in solve all the mystery without help but unfortunatley I could not . overall the game be highly enjoyable , highly recommend and I be look forward to play a sequel -lrb- if one exist -rrb- in the near future . +941 Video_Games POS 5 the first Kingdom Hearts be a classic , but I feel this one be even better . the story line be clearer and the gameplay be just way more fun in this one . +682 Video_Games POS 5 basically if you like the classic rpg from the ne , sne , ps1 day you should be able to find some value here . persona game be way ahead of they time . persona 1 fan do not even need to hesitate ! buy it ! if you be younger and never know those day , you will have a very rough time deal with the oldschool design convention . if you come into the series at persona 3 it may be a rough transition for you . +509 Video_Games NEG 1 I do not recall at all in the detail list this as striped down psp . this be suppose to be the god of war special psp package and instead my son now have 102 dollar paper weight to go on we trip . the fact be that I be cheat and lie to by the description and im furious . I get nothing in my package but the psp and cord . there be no game no movie no gig stick and now the company i get it from Ocean reef Electronics say to bad i should have read the detail . so i say f 's to Ocean reef Electronics and there horrible customer service . +347 Video_Games POS 5 love the price and free shipping in time for Christmas . my kid want some and save I from go out in the rush . Amazon can be great at time . +669 Video_Games POS 4 the gameplay could use some improvement but I really enjoy the improvement to franchise mode and I love ultimate team . ea do a good job of update the roster too . +504 Video_Games POS 5 this game be great , even though its kinda easy so beat . i love it though ! i wish you could have more then four horse though . you can do anything with this game . i love it . it be so interactive ! +906 Video_Games POS 4 after read previous review I decide to get the Turtle Beach x11 for a basic starter headset . they fit comfortably and the sound be amazing after hear game over the tv speaker ! yes there be hiss sound between game and they do get warm after a while but for the price you can not beat they . +305 Video_Games POS 5 first let I just say that I be very bias towards MGS , its my favorite series . also I buy my PS3 at launch for this game alone , but still I have to say that this be the close to perfection than any other video game in history . first let start with the greatest part of mss4 , the story , simply put , it answer every question a fan could ask . its one of the greatest story of any media . next the graphic , true they be some game with better graphic , but the environment and everything go together perfectly . the sound in this game be unbeleiveable , its so realistic , and the soundtrack can rival the Halo series . finally game play , this be probably the most satisfying game I every play , epic boss fight to the in game battle that rage on the battle field , its so awesome . in my opinion if you have a PS3 than you owe it to yourself to play this game , and if you do not go to a friend -lrb- or make a friend -rrb- with a PS3 . +262 Video_Games POS 4 I 'll start off by say that the game have a number of improvement over fable ii - but some thing that be specifically address just do not seem to have \* really \* be fix . as the title state - I do not really understand why female hero have to be so incredibly large . it be really out of place , and Peter Molyneux specifically say that in this game we would not look like `` slightly different look man '' . Make no mistake , we still do , and at the start there be even a cross-dressing quest so I do not really think he take the complaint seriously . you will still grow taller and generally larger than everyone , and you will still look manly in 90 % of the outfit in the game . the second thing I do not like be this hand-holding business . it seem like there be just \* too much \* of it . it be cute once or twice in appropriate situation -lrb- like lead a child home -rrb- , but it be get to the point where it be just creepy in some of the quest . it be gimmicky , and while it be a interesting dynamic I just feel it be overuse and not necessary -lrb- like when you be escort a grown man you be not in a relationship with through a tunnel or to another town ... -rrb- the Sanctuary take the place of the standard rpg-style menu be incredibly innovative and actually responsive . I have concern when they be first talk about it , but it load immediately and I have yet to lock up while visit any of the room . I sometimes miss the menu , but I think that be just the old school RPG ` er in I . Relationships be slightly more interesting -lrb- and there be some better-looking people now too -rrb- - with folk actually send you on fetch-style quest before take next step . it be a little more realistic , but it be not really what I be hope for -lrb- a relationship that grow over time rather than a few emote , a fast travel trip to another town and a cheap ring -rrb- . the interaction seem to be limit to one on one , which be a improvement over the last game . it be sometimes annoying to be court one person , and end up with the entire town in love with you . they should have keep the old style of selecting which emote to use as well - one can only take so much pat-a-cake before gouge one 's eye out ... Jobs be still here , and this time they actually take a little more hand-eye coordination than just mash the a button at a certain time . you progress in job be link directly to the storyline - and honestly I do not really care much for that either . too much be tie to the storyline - you will have to progress to a certain point before you can start do the side thing like buy business and make more money at job . I see what they be try to do , but it feel a little too linear and less open than the last game . I feel like I have to do the story , and to be quite honest I be not really feel it . Peter must be daft if he think the last story be somehow more forgettable than this one . at least the last one be not such a tired and stale `` tyrant oppress the people hero rise to overthrow tyrant '' standard . fable II 's story I actually think be interesting and original , and certainly more think out than this one . they do reuse a lot of the voice act from the previous game . I do not know if it be intentional to give the long time fan a sense of familiarity or if it be just laziness , but it be there and I think it be worth mention . the other thing I will mention regard the voice acting be the script be a lot funnier . fable ii be funny , but this game be even better in that respect . I literally spit out drink on some of the butler 's quip in the sanctuary -lrb- like when approach the mannequin naked or leave while in a chicken suit -rrb- . it make the lack of a original and interesting story all the more lamentable . all in all , it be still a fun game to play if you enjoy the fable series , but they regress in enough place that I can not in good conscience give this game a full five star rating . four star be a good rating -lrb- and maybe even too generous -rrb- - lot of great stuff in this game , but some area where they still need to improve . +812 Video_Games POS 5 I use this to get around the `` bad '' sound quality of the easycap and it work like a charm . but you will not get surround sound , if that be what you be look for . all in all great product . +652 Video_Games NEU 3 the program , for what it actually be design to do be easy to use and fun as a toy . I may look into get a microphone for my kid to play around with , as I be now stick with the software . the advertisement , however , state user could edit they `` own unique song '' . I take this to mean I could use music I already own on CD 's , which be what I need . this program will not allow the user to import anything . the `` song '' create with this program be mostly percussion . +741 Video_Games POS 5 Thise game have no perpose at all but it be addictive . you can play for hour try to get money to pay off debt or get cool furnture . this game be a must have for any gamecube . without it no gamecube pack be complete . +122 Video_Games POS 5 like final Fantasy ? or Disney ? or maybe both ? let I tell you that if you like one or both of these thing than buy the game . its not kiddish in any way since people think since its Disney its childish . wrong . seriously I enjoy this game so much that i have to be tear away from the screen to eat something = d if you like RPG 's like I do you will love this game . I find myself want to play more just to see what would happen next and I be die to see Riku again . however , it be all worth it when i finally get to see he towards the end of the game . graphic and voice be amazing . the only `` complaint '' I have be that there be a lot of repetitiveness with the x button and I hardly ever use summons -lrb- personally I believe its the way you be style of fighting be . for I I just like to slice away with the keyblade and find the summons pretty useless for kingdom heart one and two -rrb- but do not let what i say not make you change you mind of buy the game . I be happy I purchase these series and be anticipate that they will make a third kingdom heart soon . +751 Video_Games POS 4 I really love this game . I can not say much more than that . the depth in this game be phenomenal , and you can apply all the creativity you can muster to make you very own creation . fantastic level , all operate differently , essentially bring 5 game into the one . each game be able to be play by themself , or concurrently - and I swear I be so addict to this game that when I wake up in the morning I can see Spore creation dance in front of my eye . there be some downfall - there appear to be problem with operate on a mac - and many people be upset over this . I understand where they be come from , Spore be tout to be Mac friendly - however I be way to much in love to have this ruin we relationship . I 'll be install Windows on my Mac just so I can play , whilst I wait for ea to come up with a fix for the Mac . I would highly recommend this game to anyone who love they life sim , or they creation sim . +275 Video_Games POS 5 fable iii live up to the expectation and pass they by a million mile . this be the best game in the fable series . I can not believe some of the stuff that they do that make fable iii the great game that it be . this be my first pre-order ever , and it be a perfect game to start . fable iii have great story , great graphic , great physics and so much more that be great ! the new spell system be awesome , you wear gauntlet that allow you to channel the will power inside of you . you can also now `` weave '' spell together to make a combo-spell that effect the enemy 2 way , e.g. do not like just burn guy ? do not like just zap 'n em ? do both ! I love the new `` Gooey '' system , no more 2d list to choose you weapon from , now you go to a place call the sanctuary to change you weapon , clothing , etc. . Weapon modify work better than I have hope , the weapon really change accord to how you use they . New interact with ai be amazing to say the least , hold hand bring a new element to fable . you know that time in fable ii when you someone to follow you but they get scare of you or do not want to follow ? well now you can just grab be and drag be . you can now interact with people online better . you can become business partner with people online , you can even marry they -lrb- in the game of course -rrb- ! very good choice of voice . to list just some of they : John Cleese -lrb- Monty Python , James Bond , Harry Potter , Shrek 1,2 and 3 , the Pink panther 2 , and more ! -rrb- , Bernard Hill -lrb- Titanic , Lord of the ring , and more ! -rrb- , Zoe Wanamaker -lrb- Harry Potter , my Family , and more ! -rrb- , Sir Ben Kingsley -lrb- fear be the key , Gandhi , without a Clue , and more ! -rrb- , and many more ! and now a say on the limited edition . I be happy to say that they do NOT cut anything out like they have to in fable ii because of cost . I love the extra thing that come with the limited edition . the special coin look very like a coin out of fable and can be helpful for that neutral character you have for decide to take the good choice or the evil choice -lrb- you can use a regular coin I guess but this one look cooler ! -rrb- . the deck of card be very nice and look like the virtual card in fable ii pub game in the old paper look and show a lot of different character possibility . the `` book '' that you keep the game in be very nice look and keep the game , coin and card safe . the book be real , faux leather-bound . a magnet keep the cover on and another keep the `` secret drawer '' close . the `` secret drawer '' be where you special stuff be . you open the top and there be you game , but where be the extra ? pull the bottom down and there be a drawer that hold you stuff . the `` book '' can also be cover with the cardboard sleeve . it have the fable iii logo on top , the picture on the front , detail on the back and a smash chicken on the bottom -lrb- no really ! -rrb- . the code for the extra be great ; a new quest , that I will not spoil , new location -lrb- where you get a great house that never fall into disrepair -rrb- , a unique outfit , new weapon and a new boxer dog breed ! the limited edition be way worth the extra money . I be so happy that this game live up to it be hype and to the fable name . I be look forward for every fable game to come . if there be a hundred star rating this game would have it . thank you so much for the next perfect game , in the perfect series Lionhead . +846 Video_Games NEU 3 while this be generally a fun game that provide a good range of difficulty , a real lack of quality control go into the game . I have only have the game for a month or so , but have already run into the game 's pickiness three time . one time , in a category something like `` which president , Washington , Kennedy , or Obama ? '' the clue be pretty basic with the answer obviously be Washington . I choose Washington for my answer . I be wrong . the game want GEORGE Washington . another time , the clue end with '' ... in this river . '' the answer be the Hudson , so I answer `` Hudson River '' since it come up in the list as a type my response . wrong again . the game only want `` Hudson . '' so I figure , `` Ok , since the river part be in the clue already , you do not need that part . '' well , another time I be play the clue end something like '' ... of this gland . '' well since gland be in the clue , just like river , I respond `` thyroid . '' wrong again . the game want `` thyroid gland . '' so it get annoying shell out money to buy a game to have it be picky about answer like this . since the game supposedly accept spelling error , it should be able to take these kind of answer , or at least be consistent in how they should be answer if part of the answer be in the clue . +477 Video_Games POS 5 ps3 version come w \/ dlc 's and you will be amaze at the detail and story along w \/ the gameplay of this game . . if you have never have the honor to play mass 2 then please take my advice . . buy it +321 Video_Games NEG 1 this game be very stupid and pointless . I would not give it any star if I could . this game be a waist of money , heck they should be pay you . I give this game -5 star hope this review will help someone . that be not all the animation be bad and the plot be childish ! +841 Video_Games NEG 1 I love play the first 3 myst game back when I have a pc but have since change to a Mac laptop I have search for game I could play on it . I think that because the game say mac for operate system it would play but it do not work on my laptop so if you be a mac user and interested in this game check closely what operate system you 's have and see which mac system this game will play on . +880 Video_Games POS 5 I be repost my review from the pc download section -lrb- I believe these two section should be combine , it be the same game -rrb- to counter some of the negative review which I suspect be not on the up and up . everyone have a opinion as long as it be honest . I would hate to have this game not do well because of misinformation -lrb- e.g. dumb down combat , no party interaction , less complexity -rrb- . \*\* this review be make on normal and nightmare difficulty ; normal = DAO Casual \*\* I be a fan of both Baldur 's gate and Dragon Age Origins but dislike mass effect 1 and 2 due to its party combat . so read this review with that in mind . I be write this initial review for fan who may want to consider purchase the game but be undecided due to the overhaul Bioware make to it . I have play 12 hour of the PS3 version -lrb- friend work at a certain video game store and get it early -rrb- and 6 hour of the pc version . I will indicate the difference between the two as well as update the review once I actually beat it once . Gameplay \*\*\*\*\* this be where da2 really shine . I think one of the weakest element of origin be in the tactical combat element of the game , namely it be not difficult at all once you level up or the game break ability of certain class . like Mass effect , origin be completely unbalanced . that game start off difficult but then progressively get easier due to the enemy not be able to keep up with you character . the mage in the original game if specc correctly would become near invincible by end game . you absolutely do not require tactic to beat the game , even on nightmare -lrb- ok , maybe I be exaggerate a bit -rrb- . oh yeah , do I mention no cooldown on potion which make the challenge moot ? how can you lose with basically unlimited health ? Bioware have finally fix this issue in the gameplay . play on hard on the PS3 da2 version I continuously get party wipe at certain encounter in Kirkwall due to overwhelming force -lrb- enemy spawn in wave -rrb- and the inability to plan tactically with the controller and limited interface . the cooldown on potion have ramp up the difficulty quite a bit . Bioware indicate that hard on da2 = normal on origin . nothing can be further from the truth . multiple wave of enemy plus potion and heal spell cooldown make fight extremely tactical and difficult . on the pc , it be a bit easier due to the ability to micromanage you party . this bring I to the next issue with the console version , it be almost impossible to play tactical without a good overhead mode . the mouse and keyboard on the pc be far easier to click through you battle plan while the better overhead view allow you see farther out . unfortunately the camera be always lock on you select character . this be a fail on Bioware . they need to release the camera and let it go free . nevertheless , with the more tactical view and keyboard and mouse , hard mode be quite a bit easier on the pc than the console . on the pc I manage to keep all three of my character at the intial level survive the first ogre battle without a single death and only one health and one mana potion use , but Ion the console , I usually win with only my mage run in circle and the rest of the party wipe . hit a to attack on the console be actually pretty fun . I can not imagine play use auto attack with the controller -lrb- which btw be not implement in the release , it may need to be patch for this -rrb- . unfortunately , hard mode be overly difficulty for button masher . I would not want to play the console version in anything higher than normal . Story \*\*\* -lrb- so far , will update -rrb- so far , I like the initial story more than origin . my favorite back-story from origin be the human noble . it have element of tragedy and revenge which help in give you a reason go forward with the story . I can finish a bad game with a great story -lrb- Mafia 2 -rrb- but I simply can not finish a good game with a bad story . gameplay-wise , most game get repetitive after about 20 hour . without a good story to push you forward , then you be simply go through the motion . so far the game lack a strong central antagonist . I be not talk about a nameless evil like the first game . good story tell require a compelling protagonist , antagonist , and pathos . 12 hour in , it be miss the antagonist portion . the darkspawn be too generic and it be over after one year . the fact that you sibling get kill by a random darkspawn , well , Bioware miss a good opportunity here . you just kill he murderer ... and then the blight be over quickly . so what be the point of the game ? Gaining fame and fortune , rag to riches have less appeal than a good revenge story . a scheming , backstabbing , machiavellian baron be a far better antagonist than a boring nameless evil enemy that you only get to see for the first time at the end of the game . . then you promptly kill he . however , I will give this story a chance to surprise I . Interface \*\*\*\* they have streamlined the interface quite a bit . the inventory be manageable . you know which item be trash so you can just sell it without wonder what it be . this be a huge improvement over the craptastic origin inventory . everything else be good except for the limited armor for you companion . look , Bioware , if you want the outfit to stay the same for each character , that be fine . however , let we find loot that upgrade it . for example , how about a fabric slot , a gauntlet slot , a boot slot , and a armor slot that be upgradeable but do not overly change the way the armor look ? right now , you can only purchase slight upgrade from merchant which upgrade it 4 time over the course of the game . Automatic upgrade via level be lame , lame , lame . not be able to equip armor for npc 's be especially lame since inventory management be half the fun of RPG 's . for some npc 's , the weapon be also lock as well . for example , I find a bow that be much better than Bianca -lrb- 72 damage vs 49 -rrb- but I could not equip it on Varric because he only use Bianca . what ? if npc 's be go to have they own weapon , at least have it level to a comparable level to find loot ! damage number and status condition can be turn on in the option . I highly recommend this be the first thing turn on when you get the game . I be glad this be still available . the rest of the interface be just too minimalist . I think this be due to the memory footprint for console . luckily for pc 's , modding will -lrb- hopefully -rrb- take care of this . Graphics \*\*\* The character be all model very well . however , the background lack the polygon . this be most likely due to the weaker console capability . the pc version get the shaft on this . on the plus side , if you have a middling pc , then this game will likely work well for you . and it work on the very long in the tooth xbox and PS3 console . the graphic be serviceable and I be not too hang up on it . what matter be it be fun . there be always the Witcher 2 for the graphic department .

Class Balance \*\*\*\*\* Bioware have balance they new class well . although there be only three base class , there be numerous permutation that can come out of it . for example , the Rogue can specialize in both archery and dual wield . Archery be slower but higher damage per attack . duel wield have higher dp but the downside be that you have to get close to the enemy . rogue be primarily damage dealer . they be also the only class that can open lock and release trap . mage be as ridiculously powerful in the second as in the first . they be be use for damaging and crowd control . mage have the most varied specialization as they can focus in elemental , force , healer , or crowd control . mage be arguably the most fun class . warrior be the weakest in term of damaging power but probably the most indispensable of the three . they specialize in crowd control by keep enemy off of the rogue and mage . they be damage soaker , good at `` tanking . '' if the warrior die , you party will most likely fall as well . for da2 , Bioware have add cross class combo . each class have a certain status induce attack that the other two can exploit . this be a very cool new feature but unfortunately only higher level character can exploit . Stagger , brittle , etc. be impossible to perform with lower level ability . final Verdict \*\*\*\*\* for PC , \*\*\*\* for console -lrb- may change once I finish the game -rrb- for those who compare the combat in this game to Diablo , nothing can be further from the truth . this be truly a tactical party rpg , more similar to Baldur 's gate on the higher difficulty level than origin . for those who consider this game as the mass effect-ification of Dragon Age , you be partly right . the streamlining of the story , party member and interface be very similar to mass effect . however , the combat absolutely do not get the mass effect treatment . the party combat in Mass effect 1\/2 be a joke . you be basically a one man army in mass effect 1 and 2 with party member as side show and ornament than real . it be possible to play mass effect as a single person shooter by disregard party member altogether . that be not true at all in Dragon Age 2 . if you do not understand the art of tanking and crowd control , on hard or higher you will party wipe . it sound like I be be overly critical yet give it a five star anyway . the reason be that the ultimate judge of game be do I enjoy the game ? yes , it be the most enjoyable game I play since Dragon Age Origins . I much prefer this game over both origin and mass effect 2 due to its overhaul combat system . this game on the pc be closer to a 5 than a 4 . for the console version , something be miss -- namely the precise control for tactical combat . if you be consider this game , I recommend the pc version if you can run it . otherwise , the console version be a fine game as well , minus one star . Update : add Class Balance +158 Video_Games POS 5 I personally consider this one of the best game I have ever play . the storyline wasnt as good as I expect , it be too rush and I couldnt grasp what be happen . also the gameplay in the in-game game be completely different from the previous two Halo game . there be ton more gun , the new addition of equipment , and a very odd life system . no longer be there a shield , only a bar at the top and if that hit 0 you dead . the graphic be simply breathtaking . I be play it and a friend walk in and think I be watch a reality movie . for all you people who say it suck , the trick be too hook it up to a hd-tv , that what its optimize for and when the graphic enter unbelievibly-blow you mind state . the multiplayer be incredible . it be similar to Halo 2 , but with the introduce of Forge and more map . I play for hour yestarday and never get tire . so even though you may not enjoy the campaign as much as you think , and the graphic may blow you mind temporarily , i give this game a easy 5\/5 . +218 Video_Games POS 4 Animal Crossing be a great game .

Nintendo d fill this time wonderfully . Educational and fun game make this another tool for enrichment . +499 Video_Games NEG 1 DO NOT BUY THIS game ! this be doubly true for anyone who like either of the previous mass effect game ! the control be terrible , the graphic suck , character animation be buggy and often look worse than in mass effect 1 and 2 and the plot , this be the WORST story I have ever see in any game ever which really make the game a no-buy consider that the gameplay be like a seriously broken version of Gears of War so the plot be the only reason to play the game in the first place . without go into spoiler territory , I 'll just say that the end be a series of continuity fail lead into a nonsensical and gratingly annoying end which be a very badly execute Deus ex rip-off which make no sense , take none of you action in either this game or the previous one into account , give you no meaningful choice , blows-up the world and leave you with a bad taste in you mouth such that you will never want to play another bioware ever again . do not believe anyone who tell you that this game be open-ended , it be not ! it be linear crap that force you to watch you character refuse to challenge the most absurd decision make by the Reaper overlord . take back earth ! wrong ! Watch Shepherd sit by passively while the Reaper overlord destroy the universe be the only option you get for a end . also , the multiplayer be BROKEN in addition to be a really badly execute and boring rip-off of gear of War 's horde mode . in fact , if you be even think of buy this game , do not ! buy Gears of War instead since it be better in every way -lrb- and this be come from someone who love the previous mass effect game , do not like Gears of War that well and pre-ordered this atrocity against gamer . -rrb- if you really want a poorly execute gears-of-war rip-off game about sucking-up to a emo-omnicidal villain , well this game be a epic fail even in that category . DO NOT BUY THIS game ! +51 Video_Games POS 4 I get this off steam during a 75 % off sale . it be 10 buck down from 40 so I figure why not . I have never hear of the game so I be not expect much . Gameplay : excellent mechanic , similar in this respect to God of War , Prototype , and Onimusha . however it feel less repetitive than Prototype , not that it actually be less repetitive but I find I do not grow bore as quickly as Prototype . on pc this game be a port from console . overall the port be good , but no third-person console port will ever control as well on a mouse and keyboard when the game be design with a gamepad in mind . I go out and get a xbox360 controller . this basically nullify the issue with it be a port . controller be easy to set up and the game run great with it . so for game like this on a pc just bite the bullet and buy yourself a gamepad . do not worry , the mouse and keyboard will still be superior on FPS 's for a while still . graphic and artwork : texture be fairly low resolution , and the engine be base on age technology `` dx9 '' it be not bad for what it be , but it be definitely limit by it be Console origin . the artwork be excellent . a big congrat to the modeler , sculptor , texture artist and particularly the Art Director `` whoever that may be . '' the overall design be very cohesive . there be nothing outstandingly original here , the heavy body and armor thing have be do to death ever since Gears of war and quake , and the over size buster sword have be abuse for well over a decade . however , I find it all integrate well into the game and it be not distract `` I find the heavy armor in Gears of war distract . '' modeling and character design be top notch , I would love to see what this team could do with a cut edge engine and some tesselation . Story : should we even bother talk about this ? totally derivative . however the voice act and animation be excellent for a video game . Story segment fit seemlessly between sections\/levels and despite how contrived of a story it be , I find I enjoy it . I give this 4 out of 5 star . I actually think it be more of a 3.5 but 3 be definitely too low . this team put out a original title and succeed in entertaining I . I look forward to the future of this series and hopefully we 'll see some more originality , push of technology boundary , and attention to story next time around . I definitely reccommend but 40 be a little steep . +464 Video_Games NEG 1 the hype for this game mainly center around its gripping story pen by John Milius , which would lead one to believe the single player game would be amazing . do not believe the hype . I purchase the dvd , and it require a 12 -lrb- ! -rrb- hour download before I could play . next , I find that the single player game be over in about 4 hour . 4 hour ! so , write by John Milius ? okay , maybe he write it on a napkin during he lunch break . seriously , there be some great potential here that will never be realize . I think I 'll go watch red dawn . +494 Video_Games POS 5 remarkable as it be , Naughty Dog have not have a single game that one would call `` terrible '' . while some be consider more worthwhile then other , they track record be pretty impressive . with the release of Uncharted : Drake 's Fortune , the team develop a beautiful and fun if a tad derivative game that help encourage the more `` cinematic '' approach to game design . then enter uncharted 2 : among thief . practically a seminal milestone in gaming , beat the game and run into somebody who have not play it yet prompt a `` oh man , you have gotta play it ! '' reaction . stunning graphic with believable motion capture , excellent voice act with some truly stellar set-piece , I would almost go and say uncharted 2 nary have a single fault in its narrative -lrb- other than blue cat people but I digress -rrb- . which make walk into the 3rd game , Drake 's Deception , kind of a tricky situation I be sure not only for fan but for the team . will they try to outdo everything the 2nd game do ? can you really outperform `` perfection '' ? well uncharted 3 be kind of in the middle : it do nearly everything the 2nd game do but better and yet can still leave one with a feeling of deja vu , albeit a impressive deja vu . 2 year after the event of among thief , the game open with Drake and Sully attempt to solve a riddle from one of Sir Francis Drake 's voyage , a voyage believe to end with the city of Ubar , the iram of the Pillars or the `` Atlantis of the Sands '' . Drake globetrot from the London underground to a chateau in France to the arabian desert as he search for this mystical city , all the while friend around they be question why be it that he always pursue reckless endeavor for treasure and do not see how it affect he friend and love one . the leap from the first game to the second be pretty extraordinary and not just on a graphical front . the seamless transition of cinematic , gameplay and even event that would have likely be quicktime event or non-interactive be something to behold . that leap to this game be not as grand a leap since now we pretty much know what Naughty Dog be capable of and while what you be see will not have the `` oh my god , how do they even do this ? '' reaction , it be still mighty impressive stuff . a ship capsizing , a burning chateau and a plane get rip apart ... with you in it be set-piece that really make uncharted 3 one of the more visceral and entertaining blockbuster ride of 2011 . although one could think the team just put these moment in there know people would look for they so they build excuse in the story to have they , you can not deny these be magnificent part of the game . however , for a game highly dependent on a script and precise order of event , it be very disheartening when you end up die because you do not turn a corner fast enough or miss a jump or do not know what way to go during a chase sequence . it make for a odd dichotomy since to further the `` it be like a movie '' feel of a uncharted game , one must rarely die to preserve its flow and yet without prior knowledge of what exactly need to be do , it can make for a very start\/stop kind of structure . also oddly out of place be that unlike the near flawless pacing of among thief , it be very bizarre to say some part in Drake 's Deception just flat out ... , well they kind of suck . a syrian fortress and a slow beginning as well as certain story element that be never address or properly resolve make I think the game be rewrite a couple of time and certain part get lose in the shuffle . that still do not mean the game do not have incredible high -lrb- see precede paragraph -rrb- but the low be strangely very low . also , the amount of punishment Drake take be kind of ridiculous . how can a guy go this long without crack a rib , break he finger or he leg . I mean seriously , dude 's like x-man 's Colossus . hell , even the going-on 60 Sully can keep up with the youthful Drake . but still , if there be one thing you can not knock the team for be presentation and this game be a stunner . other than one wonky wall texture , everything in the game from the mo-cap to the environment and of course the set-piece , uncharted 3 practically bleed production value . Voice act as usual be strong and character be appropriately endearing or love-to-hate-them -lrb- but why do Elena and Chloe look worse than before ? must be the eye -rrb- . the environment be also incredibly gorgeous , whether they be be destroy or not , and some I be sure be incredibly difficult to pull off despite the look of the scene . if there be one thing that uncharted 3 occasionally but not always handle be in the combat which can be strangely frustrating at time . some of they just drag for too long and even though stealth be encourage , be catch do not mean about 10 or so guy , it become a long protracted and tedious firefight as enemy spawn with sniper , grenade launcher and rpg 's lead to many out-of-the-blue death . and this be a common issue among they forum but the aim feel ... off which be quite noticeable when I actually replay among thief before I get this to re-accustom myself to Uncharted 's gameplay . this also can lead to the `` start\/stop '' structure I mention before where I can really imagine specific sequence annoying gamer on higher difficulty know what a trial they be even on normal . bring back from uncharted 2 be the online mode , the co-op and the multiplayer . in the co-op , it break down into 3 group : Arena , which play out similarly to Horde mode with the twist be that every wave will have a specific objective such as kill only count when stand in a area or `` Gold Rush '' which be straight up capture the Flag . there be co-op adventure which have you and 2 player -lrb- with strangely downgrade graphic on the character model -rrb- go through a little mini-story that be about half hour long or so . then there be the new mode , co-op Hunter which have 2 team of 2 compete to capture treasure with the villain side gain some computer AI buddy for assistance . since all money\/xp accumulate go towards you online profile , you can jump into co-op or the actual online to better you character 's unlock . and the actual multiplayer of uncharted be indeed kind of a blast . the same basic rule apply : 5 versus 5 , jump and climb anywhere you want while you attempt to capture treasure or just straight tdm , free for all , hardcore -lrb- no weapon mod or medal kickback -rrb- . some new element be introduce such as medal kickback which function but do not become acquire the same way as killstreak . choose one kickback , once a certain amount of medal be obtain , press up on the d-pad activate a certain ability such as instantly spawn a rpg in-hand , run faster for a brief time as well as many other . booster -lrb- or essentially perk -rrb- return while weapon mod be add so you can customize a gun to have faster reload , bigger clip or a `` call out '' which highlight enemy name when they be be aim at so other player can know where they be . also a new element be what be call `` power play '' so say the lose team be lose by ... a lot , a power play be bring in to hopefully give that team a chance to catch up . one thing to note be that the game do have a online pass which do NOT include a trial mode to test out the multiplayer so if you be rent the game and you want to test the online and see whether you would rather buy this then the other big online game out , you be SOL . buy it brand new or pay 10 more buck . remarkable and highly impressive with the occasional blemish , uncharted 3 be indeed a great game . the thrill be more impressive albeit familiar but unfortunately this game come after a even better one and while this game I would recommend someone play without hesitation , it be not the flawless roller-coaster ride as its predecessor . +877 Video_Games POS 5 this be my first game console and i be very happy the way it work . it be easy to install and easy to use and most important it be a lot of fun . especially the include game of wius sport . if you can get you hand on one i would say buy it . +650 Video_Games POS 5 call of duty for the psp it be as good as the other plataform of this game it be great in graphic and sound . +336 Video_Games POS 4 I really love this game , but it feel too much like # 2 , they really do not improve a whole lot and the story be very similar . I think I actually like # 2 more so . I would say get it if you love the series , but do not be too impressed . +112 Video_Games NEG 1 do not waste you money on this bomb . ea do it once again . lack of control , can not understand anything be say , no story line and after two day I have have enough of the garbage ea send this way . never will buy another ea game . should have spend advertise money on make this game work . +496 Video_Games NEG 2 this be a very bad game because when you ride you horse all you do be jump -lrb- a bird chirp when you have to jump -rrb- booor i should have know better to have the picture fool I . yes they be colorfull and sound fun but trust I there not . this be just a cute game no challeng involve ! i only love the part be you pick a horse and decorate she . i be obssese over horse i guess that why i buy it . you should get barbie mystery ride . that be a better game . see my review for it !!! you will know its I because my name be melisa . melisa-melisa-melisa-melisa-melisa-melisa-melisa-melisa-melisa +186 Video_Games POS 5 if you be expect Red Dead redemption or Grand theft auto iv type gameplay that Rockstar be know for look elsewhere . this game be more in the detective Phoenix Wright , Heavy rain type game with extremely high production value . Voice act be excellent and facial annimation be unmatched at time . I usually buy 360 version of multiplatform game but this time the PS3 version be the slightly better overall and be on 1 disc instead of 360 's 3 disc , which could be a pain if you replay the case after beat they and then select they in the main menu . +804 Video_Games POS 5 this be a great product that my 4 year old son love . he really like car , especially race car . this product have a number of fun and educational activity to do before Putt Putt can enter the race . my son love the race at the end , but he never rush through the activity , because he have such a good time do they as well . he particularly like have to go to the garden maze and find different fruit and veggy . I would highly recommend this product . +575 Video_Games POS 5 I 'll keep this short but this game be nothing short of amazing ! from graphic , to story line , to the incredible new battle system . I 'll admit I read a few review complain about the game 's initial ` linear ' aspect , which do take some time to open up , but these review be clearly make while in the begin portion of the game . and anyone that have play ff for any length of time know that it take some time to build the story , develop you character and truly experience a ff game in its entirety . so anyone that be a ff fan , or rpg for that matter , should buy this game . may not have the depth of ff3 and ff7 but it be a great addition to the series and I highly recommend it . +64 Video_Games POS 5 this game be a ton of fun for the whole family . from myself -lrb- 39 -rrb- to my youngest daughter -lrb- 3 -rrb- , we all have a great time play these game . I highly recommn it . +17 Video_Games NEG 1 we buy this for Christmas think it would be fun for some family game time . we love the actual game but the video game be a joke . my husband who be very good at video game try two different challenge . you be require to do two different motion use the controller and nunchuck which prove to be very difficult . after try the training session for two different challenge -lrb- with not much success -rrb- we decide to return it to Amazon . the challenge would be a lot more fun in real life than in a video game . +630 Video_Games POS 5 if you have get a Wii , then this be a necessity . enhance almost all of the Wii game . +40 Video_Games POS 5 mario kart racing be a lot of fun . we child 's dentist have this in he office wait room and we just have to buy it for ourselves at home . both of my boy , 12 and 5 , like to race each other . my husband even get in on the game . I have not be able to squeeze in a session between the three of they . +311 Video_Games NEG 2 I be very excite to get this game , and could not believe it be such a let down . I want something to get I up and off the couch -lrb- reason for kinect ! -rrb- , and this game want you to sing ! I do not want to sing . you can not turn the singing function off either . it be really really difficult to do the move . definitely not worth $ 50 !!! +378 Video_Games POS 5 buy this because of the other customer review and it be cheaper than the official microsoft one . turn out to be a great choice . Voice quality seem to be a lot better and it be just more comfortable than the original . good buy : -rrb- +780 Video_Games POS 5 the early generation of controller be make of some kind of plasticy glossy slippery material , and it be a struggle to keep the controller in you hand , but this controller be different . it have like a matte finish which will fit firmly in you hand and when you be play aggressive game where you have to screw the analog stick ; like Street Fighter , Fifa , tekken . . etc , the controller will not slip out of you hand . I would definitely recommend this if you have and older dualshock 3 , because they have change alot since they first come out . +266 Video_Games NEG 1 I buy a sharpshooter , a mini controller -lrb- whatever they be call -rrb- really only to play with this game . they do not work . at all . so , 2 star off for that . at least with kz3 you can fully customize how the move \/ sharpshooter work , with this -lrb- as far as what happen when you hit the iron sight button -rrb- you just can not . and it do not work . in short , do not even consider use this with a sharpshooter . I have really try to make it work , but no luck . once you hit the ironsight -lrb- zoom -rrb- button , forgehdaboudit . also , this be a completely different game than Res 1 and 2 . and , the problem be , that I really like resistance 1 and 2 . the two player split screen be horrible . it split you tv in half horizontally -lrb- the opposite of Res 1 -rrb- and it just come off feeling cramp . very uncomfortable . res1 work perfectly , no clue why they feel the need to change it . also -lrb- spoiler ? -rrb- : -rrb- let I ruin the game for you : every scene go like this . where be we suppose to go ? ahhh ! TOO MANY MONSTERS ! ! ! ! they be all dead ? ok . . where do I go next ? whereas Res 1 and 2 have you choose cover and take enemy out with headshot -lrb- my style -rrb- this be MONSTER MONSTER BUM RUSH BUM rush constantly . some people might call it `` intense '' . . I call it `` overwhelming-to-the-point-of-constant-frustration . '' -lrb- really ? I get hit by the 10 monster behind I because I be shoot the 20 monster in front of I ? yeah . . that be fair ! -rrb- : -rrb- my son and I be try to get through it , but tonight even he say . . `` wow , this game just be not very good , be it . . '' so , 1 star off for . . not match up to the joy that be 1 and 2 . finally , 1 more star off for this : the swearing . I know it be not for kid , neither be 1 or 2 . . but there be -lrb- comparably -rrb- very little swearing in 1 and 2 . plus , 1 and 2 be so good you could `` forgive '' it here and there . . this be not a very good game and it be back up by a annoying sound track of cuss word for no reason . Boo . so , here end another 1 star review . keep in mind I purchase many other product and game and be quite happy with they -lrb- and usually do not review they as there be enough positive review out there for you to read and help in you decision make . -rrb- I tend to only post review when I feel that the other side really need to be say in case you be try to make a purchase decision . in this case , I would highly recommend a rent or wait until you can get it use for 30 , especially if you be not into multiplayer like I . mho . +269 Video_Games NEG 1 its basically a very boring game . add\/change\/lengthen \/ shorten\/widen the leg , foot , face , eye etc and then off u go and hunt and procreate and build a village and enlarge it and bring war\/diplomacy to other villages\/cities and then conquer the entire world and then the whole universe -- equal boring +447 Video_Games POS 4 as a person who do not like gym setting , I need something to keep I move and interested . I have to say I be very pleased with this purchase . exercise be of good selection , and I can change they up , if need to push myself . it come with a resistance band , or you can edit it to hand weight . the resistance band be a little cheap , and some of my rep do not get acknowledge unless I have the band as short as possible . you can use the balance board with this , but I have yet to do so . I have complete the 3-week cardio kick , and now start on the 9-week program . have lose 2 lb already . great purchase . +343 Video_Games POS 5 overall , this be a great game . the Campaign mode be fun , exciting mission , but i prefer play this game online . can not beat the graphic and team game . I would play this online over COD anyday . +525 Video_Games POS 5 Gamecube be the perfect game system . it be great for little kid or a 1st-time gamer . it be the cheapest of the 3 major video game system . it be very portable , as it be design to be . Storage be easy , because it be about the size of a lego bucket and weigh about 6 or 7 lb . the disc be kinda small , but they be easy for small hand to handle . the control be quite simple . this be perfect for bring in the car if you have a tv in the car for a long trip . +818 Video_Games POS 5 this product meet all of my need and then some . follow the instruction be easy to program the remote to match my tv , Dish Network DVR , and my PS3 . since I use the dvr set the most , I be able to program part of my tv remote along with the DVR remote under the same function -lrb- excellent feature for learn specific remote function and customize a remote -rrb- . the only con be the button be a little small , but that be just to get use too . best remote for PS3 owner who use the PS3 to watch movie . +827 Video_Games POS 5 I hate halo until i actually play it ! I could not understand all the hype , but this game have a graple story and great gameplay . its intrest how cortona be distressed because she be a machine and its impossible but bungie pull it off . I be die for Halo 3 to come out , and when i get it and beat the story i be 100 % satisfied , although short it be okay because you can always replay and find something new every time or go to multus player ! really a great game and dont go by what anybody say about this game one way or the other . if you unsure rent one of the halo game and decy for yourself whether you like it . you might be pleasntly surprize ! but my overal thought of this game be AMAZING , so check it out and decy if you want to finish the fight ! +817 Video_Games POS 5 I have the game for almost a year and just start to play it . I get my husband hook also and he be up until the next morning play it . recommend this to all and we be in we 30 's . +375 Video_Games POS 4 I really enjoy TYCOON GAMES where I have hand on in EVERY BUILDING ASPECT of the game . ONLY problem I have WAS THERE be LIMITED SPACE . after you use it up THATS IT ! +853 Video_Games NEU 3 be a non-owner of Xbox , I eagerly await the Halo experience on pc . true , when expectation be high , it often result in a let down - as it do with Halo . single player - 3.5 out of 5 it be not to say that Halo be not fun . it be . however , I be expect better . the highly acclaimed `` story '' be , in my opinion , rather weak . from what I have read and hear from xbox owner , I have expect a `` Deus ex '' type story experience . not even close . the story be rate a 3 . I have also expect highly develop memorable character . again not true . to be fair , however , the story and characterization be `` above average '' for a fp . but it be just not at the level I have expect . characterization rate a 3 . playability be fairly good . the weapon selection and effect be solid . Movement and customization be adequate . the mouse and keyboard playability be typical for a fp . there be some glitch , however . the vehicle handle more poorly than I have expect . there be also a few clipping problem and slowdown , even with a high-end machine . I rate playability 3.5 graphic be good . but , again , not quite at the level I have expect . maybe it be unfair to compare the graphic right after play Unreal II . the audio be very good . graphic and audio rate a 4 . multiplayer - 2 out of 5 multiplayer be a huge disappointment . I have read many review which claim multiplayer to be far and away the BEST thing about Halo . for pc , the opposite be true . first , I would suggest you tweak you setting to achieve the best performance possible . slowdown be a killer in Multiplayer FPS . even on the lowest setting , tweak , and a 530 Kbs DLS line , I still have lag problem . and lag be not good . Halfway through a tunnel , I suddenly find myself outside . opponent suddenly disappear right in front of I . I walk close to a ledge and then find myself dead from fall off . I shoot a opponent in the chest with a missile , only to find out he be 20 yard ahead of where I see he on the screen . not good . the most frustrating thing about multiplayer be the lack of any type of system to boot off game ruiner . EVERY team base game I have play have `` betrayer . '' not only do you have to battle opponent , but also the very immature idiot on you own team that try to kill you . there appear to be no recourse for such behavior and the develop appear to refuse to do anything about it . it be a complete joke . there be also problem with the physics . quite often I shoot a missile at a vehicle , which tumble it into the air , only to have the vehicle suddenly right itself and keep go as if nothing happen . needless to say , I be very disappoint in the multiplayer experience . overall , I give Halo a rather generous 3 out of 5 . +327 Video_Games NEG 1 wow I have really like the work out game , the sport game , and the adventure game so for for Kinect . but this one ... what a epic fail ! this game be the one that will seldomly get play . thank God they do not bundle it with the kinect or I would have take it back to the store the day i get it . horrible motion tracking and control during game play , it be at a level far below any of the other Kinect game . you will be disappoint if you buy this . I really have high hope because I want to play beer pong and bean bag toss with my friend when we party at my place . it have a lot of game but they be all so frustrating to control . +535 Video_Games POS 5 hand down the funnest game I have ever play . 38y\/o female . my 4 year old son love this game . he can play some of the easier level . he will get I on the harder one . so many world to go to . I can not say enough good thing about this game . +603 Video_Games POS 5 thanks for make my dream come true . I do really want to by Wii for last 6 year . but in Ukraine it be so expensive and there be no way to by any accessory for reasonable price . get some trouble when adjust Wii to my region and PAL Television format . but now all work great , picture be color and I be happy . thanks . +988 Video_Games POS 5 `` the Longest Journey '' bring we back to the Golden Age of adventure gaming , which have title such as the legendary `` Grim Fandango '' and `` full throttle '' -lrb- both by LucasArts Entertainment -rrb- . `` Syberia '' take we back also : not only to the Golden Age , but a forget age . start in Valadilene , France , Syberia trace the story of a woman look for the acquisition of a apparently wash out automato\/toy company but find much more than she could have ever bargain for ... Play this game . its more fun than the bland title seem to show . +287 Video_Games NEG 1 the DRM scheme only allow three install . I have have to reinstall sims2 more than 6 time on my computer . this make the game effectively a rental . with report of securerom disable computer dvd drive it be a extremely costly rental at that . this item be a return before installation and will not be repurchase unless ea remove the DRM . +649 Video_Games NEG 1 first of all the device I get be not the genuine product it be some chinese knock off which do not even work . the mere fact that it will cost I more than the value of the device to send it back be a damn shame ill know better next time +599 Video_Games POS 4 for anyone who own a n64 during the mid 90 's , ask they to name one game they play on it and they will say Goldeneye . the title alone bring first person shooter to the console and player ever could jump in and play . fast forward to the year 2009 where Activision make the announcement that they be make a remake to the classic n64 shooter ; some gamer rejoice while other be a bit cautious . it cause quite a debate between those who love the game as it be and those who be ready to see how it would turn out . the remake be release on the Nintendo Wii in 2010 and overall , it be a good remake and worth check out for anyone who be currently into play first person shooter and\/or love the original title . Goldeneye 007 be the remake to the n64 title make back in 1997 by rare base on the James Bond movie of the same name . in the main single player mode , you control James Bond in several stage where you must complete certain objective , rescue hostage and make it all the way to stop the main villain from use a satellite to destroy the world . then there be the multiplayer mode comprise of two part : local multiplayer where up to 4 player play against each other and online multiplayer where up to 8 player can shoot it out against each other or in team during each match . both mode offer different match scenario and a sizable chunk of option include time limit , weapon , handicap setting and stage . online multiplayer also offer player the chance to earn experience point to increase you rank , overall score and the ability to unlock different weapon , gadget , special attribute while online achievement also reward you with experience point . Controls be a big focus here as you be able to control turn speed -lrb- leave to right , up and down -rrb- , customize you button -lrb- or select preset configuration -rrb- , music & sound volume and what kind of controller you can use -lrb- Wii Remote w \/ Nunchuk , Gamecube controller and classic\/classic pro controller be all support . -rrb- if you use the Wii Remote , the customization ability go even further . since this be a big game to cover , I will give my pro and con for the single player mode , local multiplayer and online multiplayer . single player mode this be a remake and that mean there be some change make between the classic shooter and the modern version . First off , not all the original character be represent here -lrb- Pierce Brosnan be replace by Daniel Craig , the nerdy russian programmer , gadget master `` Q '' and Moneypenny be go and with the exception of `` m '' , all of the remain character look different . second , part of the story have be change with some scene entirely take off . lastly , it be set in modern time so it have a more current of event type of feel to it . the pro : Eurocom and Activision do a great job in bring this game to the modern era of video game . the graphic , presentation and overall feel like you be right in the middle of the action . the sound and music be top notch while the control be easy to customize and learn no matter what kind of controller you use -lrb- by the way , use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk be the best way to experience this game , in my opinion . -rrb- everything from the location , the character , the game mechanic and option be faithfully recreate as if you be play the original Goldeneye . the difficulty level from the original game be here as well as the number of objective you have to complete : the higher the difficulty , the more objective you must complete . level be long , detailed and they all have save point scatter so you can always take a break and come back to where you leave off . quick time event be mix into the action and do not feel like it be a afterthought at all . the cut scene be well do and never overstay its welcome unlike from other game . the con : if you be a die hard fan of the original and prefer to keep the original as be , then this game be not for you as there be change make here and there . again , this come down to whether you can play through a remake of one of you favorite game and not complain about the change you see . the only complaint I can say here be while the graphic be as good as they get , I can imagine some people say it belong on the PS3 or Xbox 360 and that be just ridiculous . it will not look as good if it come out on the other console , but it be still a good effort . local MULTIPLAYER & ONLINE MULTIPLAYER the pro : if you option , you get they . the original title be know for its multiplayer mode and the remake do not disappoint . everything that be part of the multiplayer from the classic title make it here , complete with update graphic , sound , music and controller customization . up to 4 player can shoot it out and it feel like the good old day . so if you get friend , try out the local multiplayer . as for online multiplayer , only one person be allow on each Wii to go online . online multiplayer be completely different but just as fun . connect online be easy and when you create a profile , you can see how many achievement you earn , you rank & score , you friend list and set up different weapon profile setup -lrb- up to 5 -rrb- and select they on the fly . as you rank up and get better , you be reward with better weapon , useful gadget and special attribute . all of the weapon you use have they own achievement award and the more you use they , the more effective they become . with different match happen under various scenario , you will not have a problem jump into a game . exchange friend code be useful since you can join you friend ' match whenever they be online . the con : local multiplayer be just that which mean you do not earn point and unlock achievement . online multiplayer be not perfect for a few reason . First off , expect to see hacker and funny activity so if you do not want to deal with that , just leave the match you be play in and get into another one . second , sometimes match be interrupted if the host of the match lose his\/her connection or leave the match entirely . there will be a time when , for whatever reason , you lose you connection and return to the lobby to choose another match to get into . thirdly , you have to adjust you control and button prior to log online . if you do not like how it control , you 'll have to log out entirely and get to the option screen to make you change . lastly , when you first start out , it will be hard for you since you 'll be up against player that be more experienced . tough it out , get as many experience point as you can and you will get better as time pass and it will be fun . the game for the most part turn out for the most part to be a success . it be worthy of the Goldeneye name and be worth check out whether by yourself , with friend or go online to play with\/against other . +265 Video_Games POS 5 ever since I buy this , I play it all the time . it be by far the most run game on my computer , and I have literally dozen to choose from . +252 Video_Games NEG 2 after play just Dance 1 and 2 this game be below average . you do not know what move be come up and the music be not what I expect . when I take a Zumba class they have popular\/upbeat music and this game do not . also , the remote do not stay in the belt very good and do not pick up the movement on the wius . I get more exercise with just Dance and have much more fun in the process . I be look forward to just Dance 3 in October . +570 Video_Games NEU 3 I pick this one up because of the hype and because it be 3d enable . the 3d be barely noticeable . Killzone 3 's be phenomenal compare to black op . everyone i talk to that have black op absolutely love it ... I just can not figure out why . it be a fp . nothing truly remarkable about it . I truly do not care for the way in which the single player story play out . the gameplay be pretty standard . you can only carry 2 different type of weapon which be pretty normal for today 's console shooter . maybe the multiplayer mode be really kickass , I do not know . I have not play the multiplayer mode . single player be nothing remarkable . it be ok though . fun enough to play it through . +139 Video_Games POS 5 first off I be not a kid I be 14 . now let get to the review . Tekkem dark resurrection be one awsome game !!!!! the graphic unbelievable . they be pretty good for a psp game . there be alot of mode !!!!!!! Story battle , arcade battle , practice , and Tekken dojo -lrb- there be also mode that you can unlock !!!!!! -rrb- . you can custimze a fighter witch be also awsome !!!!!!!! but that not all . you can also play aganst you freind and you can play online . I buy mine from ebgame a few day ago and I be very , very impressed . Tekken dark resurrection be worth you money - Matt +554 Video_Games POS 4 I play this game on a regular basis . yes - the interface be clunky . I get use to it ... fast . yes - the Tutorial be buggy . the Title Update on Dec. 7 2010 by download on XBOX live fix that . I love the tutorial now and how you can learn the latin dance move . it work . yes - you get sign out of play . Make sure the light be on in the room you be play in and put the dog in another room . I have master the skill of sign back in . ugh . hopefully more title update for the Zumba fan that do not return the game ! I do a big ol review of this on my blog when it be first release , and luckily the title update have improve on one of my biggest complaint ... that tutorial . this be not the best game a development company have make for XBOX Kinect . we also have other Kinect game and love to play they . fyi - Majesco really do not have stellar title in general , but this be the best zumba game - yeah , its the only zumba game ... LOL ! however , this may even be the best Majesco game . hahaha , Congratulations ! Zumba fanatic like I will deal with the glitch , help debug the game by complain online about feedback ... and have fun with the game regardless . it be possible , and I will say I work out way harder with this than with Dance Central , but Dance Central be more fun to play . the Zumba title have about 30 song with dance routine . the music be all good , it be the regular zumba stuff that Instructors use , it be hard to get this music on a cd for yourself . the music be addicting ! dvd be also a good choice for those who want to workout at home . grab a friend and jump into a Zumba class be the best ! it be not for everyone , but I have lose 50 lb since start Zumba 10 month ago . I do not know what the heck I be do but it be so fun ! I refer to Zumba as the `` gateway drug to fitness '' for people who resist regular excercise . I now enjoy other activity and love my Zumba . my thought be , this game might help some people who be too shy to get to class . the game be playable , Zumba be remarkable . +395 Video_Games NEG 1 I have enjoy all the other game but the folk on this line be correct ... it be terrible . I spend six hour try different way to configure it to work without success . the character sometimes move and cast spell and then they just stand there . I have a friend who also have it and have the same problem . since they make the money I be sure they do not care , but this game be something that should be replace with something that work . this will be the last one that I buy and I be over 60 but young at heart . +695 Video_Games POS 5 this game be awesome ! I fall in love with Fallout 3 and this be kinda like fallout 3 , but on crack ! I do not know if the game hold to the Elder Scrolls saga , but honestly I do not care . by itself the game be awesome . great control , great graphic , compelling storyline , and a beautiful free roaming world to explore until you heart 's content . so glad I buy this . big shout out to my fiance for make I go buy it today use we joint bank account . I love this game almost much as she , and way more than she cat . +580 Video_Games POS 4 great graphic , build on the Tekken series . vast array of character from which to choose and the storyline version be fun and different . more fun for single player while all of the best of multi-player battle remain . great fun with friend and the older kid . obviously , with any violent game , parental discretion need to be there as to the appropriateness of the game for various age . +301 Video_Games NEG 1 take a page from Stardock 's playbook - no drm - treat you customer as they deserve . +474 Video_Games NEG 1 I can not believe they release this - so far , maybe 5 hour into try to make it work , I can find no server and play single player there be lot of problem , especially if you try to use a joystick . worse , the support site be just awful - without the user community , I would have no idea how to solve the problem I be see . +21 Video_Games POS 5 fast service and a quality product , I have no problem with this and as soon as I get it I get down to restore alot of my old game . +602 Video_Games NEG 1 after play for a couple hour I begin to tell some friend how awesome the game be ... three hour later I have to call they all back to tell they how terrible it be . the rest of the review here be 100 % accurate . the game have absolutely no replay value ... I would go as far to say the most fun part of the game be the cell stage . f for effort ! +563 Video_Games POS 5 this thing rule all memory card to the point of no end !!!!! so what be the matter with it ? no they be wrong , I save one 2k2 game and one Capcom vs. SNK 2 game on the same VMU , believe all when say `` a must have ! '' it truly be !!!!! +729 Video_Games POS 5 THERE be no ps2 version !! for the person that say he have the ps2 version of KOTOR . only pc and x-box . +258 Video_Games POS 5 just buy this for my girlfriend brother as a birthday gift . very easy to use , although the interface could use a little bit of work . I wish there be a faster way to activate\/deactivate a mass of cheat , but oh well . besides that , its be great . very fast install , get cheat for game be as simple as drag and drop stuff . definitely worth buying . +172 Video_Games POS 5 cute game , just wish they have more type of dog , but overall , the game be good +503 Video_Games POS 5 whether you be 6 or 50 , you will have fun with this game . another genius game design to be fun whether you be very skilled or not . it be basically a interactive board game , and never get old ! great fun ! +516 Video_Games POS 5 as I fight and claw my way through mortal kombat 's Deception Konquest Mode , I keep one thing on my mind , to free my Queen Sindel . I admit that visit Earthrealm , Netherrealm , Orderrealm , and my favorite Chaos Realm be interesting , but Mortal Kombat be all about kick butt and look at Sindel 's perfect butt . it be good that the old classic character be still around . who would want to pick up a mk game without Sub-Zero or Scorpion ? and even though I never really like Tanya , it be good to see she still kick it , but I so much prefer the hotter and sexier Mileena , Kitana , Jade , and Liu Mae . I do not spend too much time with the chess or tetris game . I like to beat the boss in arcade mode , and I be still try to get through Konquest . some character can be purchase outright in the Krypt , other must be unlock through Konquest . I wish I could just buy Sindel , but if I could I would not play konquest , and I guess the maker have that in mind . the level , fatality , and boss do not disappoint in this game . the imagination and gore be still a big part of the mk series and in deception there be no disappointment there . +758 Video_Games POS 5 as a long time tekken fan I be happy to write the newest installment be awesome . first off the character model be very polished -lrb- maybe a little too much . -rrb- however the environment have incredible detail . online play be alot more fluid this time around . you do not lose connection via mic when battle online . they have also add a new ranking system . offline play offer the same mode as usual . Story mode be back this year and its as boring as ever . I wish they would bring back bowling . there be 5 new character . I be very impressed with the new fighting style these character bring . there be new feautre as the bounce technique . this be where during a combo you can bounce you opponent against the ground to continue a juggle . also weapon have be add but only as a combo finisher -lrb- except for yoshimitsu . -rrb- overall I strongly recommend this game to any hardcore fight fan . the depth and detail be awesome ! +574 Video_Games POS 4 I think ea Sports active 2 be definitely a step up from the original . I really like the interactive content and heart rate monitor . the infrared leg strap be a big improvement as well . I no longer have a desire to use the original -lrb- active 1 -rrb- because it have so much trouble follow my movement and track my repetition . active 2 sometimes have trouble track movement but not so much so that it take away from the experience as it do in active 1 . I be also happy with the variety of the exercise content . a downside I have encounter with the Wii remote sensor for this game be that it be far too touchy -lrb- when compare to other Wii game I have -rrb- when attempt to select from the on-screen menu . +230 Video_Games POS 5 I have both the Logitech microphone and the rebrand `` Konami '' version of the same microphone that come bundle with Karaoke Revolution American Idol edition . they work great so far , but I have only have they for a week , and be a bit scared of the seemingly high failure rate of the mic after a few weeks\/months . we 'll just have to wait and see ! these mic be a bit lighter and cheaper feeling than the SingStar mic -lrb- which be not compatible with Karaoke Revolution -rrb- . the cord be super long , which be pretty nice if you want to move around . I keep they wrap up when everyone 's just sit on the couch to play . oh , and just for kick , I plug in the mic into my iMac . it detect immediately as a Logitech usb microphone and it work great ! +913 Video_Games NEU 3 I buy this game remember how much I enjoy have Smash Bros. party with my friend and play the original Smash Bros. all night with they . well time go on and now I do not have my friend nearby to play with so I have be go at Super Smash Bros. . brawl solo . I 'll be honest and say that I have not give it alot of time but here 's what I think so far . the control seem to be a little harder to catch on to than with the original n64 controller . I have not be able to get quite the quick response from my character that I remember that I use to . there be lot and lot of extra and one player game option but like I say it be not quite the same as play against 3 other human . once I finish the one player story mode , which be pretty cool , I do not know if it will have a whole lot of replay value . so , if you have a bunch of friend that will give you some good competition then go for it and I be sure that this game will provide hour and hour of character smashing fun . -lrb- I just remember that there be the online function which I have not be able to utilize yet which may equally substitute non-online multiplayer . -rrb- +843 Video_Games POS 4 this be the first time I order from Amazon and I must say that I be very pleased with everything from place my order to the smile on my son face when I give he the game . one thing we be hope for be a different cover on the game , but that be part of the fun , not know until you get it which they do tell you prior to order . thank you Amazon and I will definately be order from you in the near future for it be a pleasure and I be very pleased . +519 Video_Games POS 5 the best adventure\/puzzle game I have ever play . the graphic be state-of-the-art and the story line be very original and most intriguing . the puzzle be challenge enough to make you think , but lack the frustration I have encounter with other game . it be a nice relaxing game with the appeal of a great novel , except I get tire of Dan and Olivia -lrb- two minor character -rrb- . I agree with some of the other review that the end be slightly abrupt . I want to see a full-size automaton mammoth . hopefully there will be a sequel continue Kate 's journey . +13 Video_Games POS 5 no doubt , this its the best console ever make . I can play game with my family and friend , listen to music , play awesome game , watch hd movie and much more fun ! I love it !! +750 Video_Games POS 5 this game remind I of the original , which I play as a kid . the graphic be update and Nintendo have add a new twist , master quest . master quest can be play after defeat the game the first time . it follow the same story as the original but be quite a bit more difficult to solve . overall though , the game be just as great as the original on the n64 version . if you have a 3d , get this game . +319 Video_Games NEG 2 great concept and conception , but need further development . first of all , if you be leave handed , you should stop read this . this product be not for you . it be advertise as be ambidextrous . but the left thumb stick would need to be handle with you right hand . you -lrb- and you brain -rrb- will spend too much time try to adjust to the conflict of a regular dual shock controller . second , i be amaze to read how many people state that this device , with the move controller attach , be `` accurate '' . it be far from it and be well document -lrb- do a search on the iwaggle3d review -rrb- . you can not calibrate the sight to point straight , ever . there be a drift on the target ... it move `` off-center '' from the sharp shooter . re-calibrating in-game or with the ps3 utility do not fix this issue . this be why the `` sight '' attachment plan be postpone . so `` aim down the rail '' be impossible at the moment . the most accurate would be the wius remote and nunchucku combo `` zapper '' or use light gun technology such as guncon to get pinpoint aim . next ... this product be make more for the `` casual '' gamer . any hardcore gamer would be too lazy to do this for hours\/days\/months \/ year other than to give it a try -lrb- look up the truth b tell show review -rrb- . just like the wius and the kinect be cater to the occasional gamer , so be this . and for that , it be a nice peripheral . it be mean to be use as comfortable as possible ... from the shoulder or the hip instead of eye level . size ... it be way too bulky . again , it be ok for the casual gamer . but if you be sit down , it will always get in the way , especially the butt stock , even with it detract all the way in -lrb- again , refer to the truth b tell show review -rrb- . it feel more like a carbine , which be not ideal . a better design would have be a small smg or pistol rifle configuration for the hardcore gamer . this would have enable the gamer to use the device in a more relax position for a longer play time . what i have do be hack-sawed the stock ... or you can disassemble and remove it if you do not feel like destroy the sharp shooter . it feel much more comfortable this way . with these point make , i can not recommend this for anyone serious about gaming . let I put it this way . if you be go up against someone with a dual shock controller or bare p move\/navigator combo , you will get 0wned big time on multi-player . but it be fun for single-player or campaign . game ... there be only a few that utilize this attachment . and some developer do not learn the lesson that wii developer go through . they be make the same mistake for controller function and camera control . sometimes , i feel like ask , `` do not they at LEAST play link 's crossbow training ? '' . ... it will take sony developer awhile since they be `` re-invent '' the wheel , or the zapper in this instance . but i be sure thing will get better , at least on par like high voltage software 's `` the conduit '' and its ' implementation , down the road . +88 Video_Games NEU 3 my kid lose interest in this after the first day and I think that speak volume as they only have 2 other game . I recall my 4 year old daughter scream -lrb- in a most annoying pitch -rrb- because she could only play with the pet my then 6 year old son son make while he be play -- she want to play with she pet at the same time . I shut it off to prevent the feud I feel brewing and they have not ask for it since . they do love to play together just Dance Kids 2 . I recommend that game highly if you have music lover in you family . +950 Video_Games NEG 1 this screen protector show the iphone right on the packaging that you receive it in . it would be nice if they would show the packaging in the picture of the product so you could clearly see what you be get . instead they show the screen protector and a psp go . the screen protector do not fit the go correctly . spend the extra money and go for the Sony product . pspgo protective screen Film +236 Video_Games POS 5 amazing , even more than amazing . since I buy it I enjoy play COD till max . I use to hate to play free for all but now its a pleasure . just get ninja pro . I recommend you to try it . +902 Video_Games POS 5 if you a fan of simulation like I , or just love rollercoaster you must own this , I have to buy all three indivisually , but you can pick up all three cheap , make sure you get this before rc2 so you can navigate through easily . there be a couple of drawback like any other game , like guest get lose will drive you nut , if you go build a ride for a few minute , you scare to return to you park and see it in a total mes. , the handyman be quite dumb , and the mechanic walk to slow when a ride brake down , that be pretty much it , a WARNING THOUGH : this game be very addicting I find myself play for hour and hour I think it be give I back probelem , bottom line buy the game . +919 Video_Games NEU 3 more time be spend watch \* unskippable \* cut scene than actually drive . restart a race also result in a load screen -- how be this necessary ? Multiplayer be actually pretty fun , if you can find a match . the actual `` game '' aspect be fairly well do , but the frustrating wrapper it be present in render this latest nf more frustrating than entertaining . in short : nf be dead , long live nf . I 'll be play the version find on the last generation console . +58 Video_Games POS 5 well , my freind have the 2nd cd-rom and i think it be great but this one be top all other cd . this game stimulate the mind while you think you be have fun and not really know that you be learn to de-code and problem solve a life skill . now here be the fun stuff , it have eerie music to keep you on you toe , suspect , the innocent one , the crime they commit but be not in you own case . please i would rate this a ten but there be not enough star so boo hoo and I think that someone really like snoop would get they be joy out of this because there be more than just snoop there be people who try to strangle you and -lcb- Game Tip -rcb- dont ask one to many question they could get on to you so keep it not too wordy ... and look for clue in task you may be ask and when you magnifying glass light up you can click on something so just scan over every tid bit of everything , and this be more than you need to hear !! I love it , I recommend it 100 % , and that you dont need to play the game in order like 1-4 because they just might only use name from other game not they crime . I love it it be the best i be out of word i have say it all . I would encourage you to write a reveiw tell you own feeling about this game . +748 Video_Games NEG 1 get a refund , as have many other . have nothing but problem with this game , and be very disappointed . I do not think they could ever fix all the bug and glitch in it if they try ! nothing like Dungeon siege 1 or 2 . +341 Video_Games POS 4 it be a Christmas gift for my grandson , so it have not be use yet , but I be assume it will work well . it look like it have be well take care of and in good work condition . +440 Video_Games POS 4 we buy this game for we 6-year-old when he get he d . then we could not keep it out of the hand of we 3-year-old , who also love it , and can actually play it . it be actually fun for mom and dad , too . +683 Video_Games NEU 3 you have to get old driver to make dance pad mode work which suck and be time consume to find but it work great once you get that do +12 Video_Games NEG 2 I enjoy part 2 and enjoy part 3 even more with the exception of the end and a key function . I love the graphic and game gameplay with this exception ; if you be near a hiding spot and you try to sprint from the enemy at that very spot , the game 's sprint function will choose to hide you right before the enemy , instead of sprint which cause the enemy to kill you . I really hope that that be not you most innovative thinking oh great E. A\/Bioware . be you tell I you could not assign a single key for sprint ? there be so many top of the line game available today all with they specific sprint key and for some deep scientific reason you could not have put that function in me3 ? now I truly try to appreciate a game , a story or movie for what it be , but Bioware and E.A just finish the job of ruin whatever remain liking I have for they base on what they have do to this game . the end make so sence what-so-ever . and despite so many person request for a better ending , the smart creator declare ` no we be not change it , it be fineeeeeeee the way it be . ' do you know that idiocracy be not right but rather a choice ? and to think they be ask so much money for it hah . to I it be as if they be work tirelessly to destory they fan base with these sort of foolish action . and then they complain that they have to sell the game for outrageous price with foolish excuse . really ? do sensible thing with the game and people will gladly buy it at a premium price point $ 25 - $ 35 . you will end up build you rep and fan base , and make you money in the process . so many thing about the game do not add up or do not make sence . now if that be what the game creator be try to achieve then man they stick gold . after play the single player I be like ` that be it , break the door down Kronk . ' if I could have return the game after play it then I would not even bother write a review as i could get my money back -lrb- even if i get less than what i pay -rrb- . but , these same game creator defend the right before the govt that they be lose $ $ when the consumer do not keep the software -lrb- result = no return open software -rrb- . why do not you make what the consumer will want to keep , then everyone would be happy ? you complain you do not collect $ $ on the sale of use product and I guess that make you feel cheated . what about the consumer who have invest they time and money into you product only to feel cheat ? you do not want to give they back a dime but you want to continue collect ? I will give you this , I have learn from this game experience that I be not buy any more game until I see a walkthrough for it . if I like it then i will buy it . no more will I listen the you advertising , I will listen to other gamer . and by then the game should cost less so it be a win win situation for I . since I already own the game I only play the multiplayer which be another story , but it be -lrb- in my view -rrb- still better than what they give as a end for the single player . never again E. A\/Bioware , never again ! +980 Video_Games POS 5 exellent game , perfect to play alone at home or with company late at night and with the light off : d +732 Video_Games POS 5 we love the game , but then we live less than 90 minute from Disney World and we go frequently . if you grow up watch Disney movie , you will love it , also . especially when you wife\/mother\/daughter \/ sister be sing the song ! +864 Video_Games POS 5 yeah it be addictive . yeah you 'll spend hour sit in front of you computer ignore laundry , dish and love one . you may even get the inevitable mouse hand cramp but it be worth it . I will not get into all the little detail that so many reviewer before I have -lrb- and do a better job I might add -rrb- but I will say that this be far and away the best online game I have play in quite sometime . the game draw you into team with other and reward those venture accordingly . yeah sometimes you get a dunderhead in you group that charge head first without think . it be ok you just do not ressurect he , that oughta learn em . but for the most part you 'll find people to be truly helpful and even nice . hmm ... who know ? ca not handle a quest on you own ? just shout out and within minute someone be offer you a group to join with or give a helpful hint . the spirit of comraderie be always present , I have personally perform quest multiple time just to help out someone who have not complete it yet . and you know what ... even that be fun . oh and the control could not be simpler , if you can use a mouse you can play this game . that be it . no complicated menu or keyboard smashing . see a baddie you want to smush ? click on it and watch you character beat it up . it be that easy . I hope this be helpful . +569 Video_Games POS 4 i like the game . its pretty close to the movie . the main thing i wish they have be a save feature . you can only save if you finish the chapter . for someone do it in short period of time it can get frustrating do the same thing over again before get to where you be the last time and have to quit before you get to the end of the chapter . otherwize kid and adult fan of sw would get a kick out of this game ! +873 Video_Games POS 4 the control come in perfect condition but it feel like a cheap plastin and also do not come with a usb ... -lrb- thx god that there be many phone with same usb -rrb- after all it be a good control maybe a lil ' overpriced but i think it worth the buy +769 Video_Games POS 5 this be a very fun and highly detailed game . it be the best flight simulator there be I think . if you know how sofisticated Windows 7 be , just think of something as sofisticated as Windows xp as a video game and it will let you know how many detail be in this game . you can go from easy , medium , and hard difficulty . hard be basically a real rendition of fly a real plane . Easy be pretty much cake in the mission until you get halfway . I just put it on medium and thing like wind and descent rate be make I crash like crazy , and I have be play this game for a couple year now . the funny thing be , I really enjoy fly jet because they be the funnest and easiest thing to fly I think . well next to the Ultralight anyway . another funny thing be that the Helicopters be extremely hard to fly . I still can not get past the helicopter mission even on easy . it always fly out of control and then crash whenever I try to turn it . maybe it be just I but they be extremely hard to fly . the good thing about this game be free flight . you can fly from one destination to another destination airport . it be pretty fun because you have to stop in town to refuel and stuff , but I still have not figure that out . I enjoy just fly around and then crash into a lake or something . it be cool to see the different scene . I once fly from like Washington to Alaska and you can tell the different state because Alaska have a lot of tree and snow and stuff . overall , this game be really fun and enjoyable to everyone I think over the age of something like 10 . forget all those black op game and stuff like that just poison the mind , pick this game up , you will not regret it . I have the deluxe version , but if I be you I would pick up the gold edition with the Acceleration pack . I think it have a few more mission which be great and a couple more airplane . I wish they would just create a flight Simulator XI already because this game be get pretty date with the graphic . I be sure they can create way better graphic and maybe different mission . but for now , this game be fantastic ! +498 Video_Games POS 5 my review of Resident Evil 4 this have get to be one of the greatest game ever . I really cant remember the last time I have so much fun play a videogame , I really can not . I even have more fun play this game then Halo 2 . from the start , Resident Evil 4 immerse you into world that taunt you to keep explore it ; to survive it . it do this through a phenomenal mixture of great story tell , awe-inspiring visual , mood-setting music , a wonderful variety of sound , and near perfect control -lrb- and yes , I be base my score off of IGN.com 's score tool -rrb- presentation : 10\/10 I be sure you have all hear the story by now ; the president 's daughter get kidnap by a unknown group of people , and you , Leon Kennedy of re2 fame , be send on a solo mission to find and rescue she no matter what the cost . it be a very basic premise that quickly evolve into something much more -lrb- I will not spoil anything here because it be much more satisfying figure it out on you own -rrb- . and yes , there be no zombie in this game . but I do not think you will miss they . and no , the enemy be not human either . to find out what they be , you be go to have to play through the story yourself . a very engaging story quickly develop through a series of discover write document , radio transmission and fantastic cutscene which all run in-game like in Metroid Prime 2 or in metal Gear Solid : the Twin Snakes . and like in those game , there be absolutely no need to make cg cut scene . any use of cg animation would ultimately interrupt the flow of the gaming experience . that and because the in-game graphic be utterly amazing . graphic : 10\/10 the graphic ... oh the sweet , sweet graphic . never have I see such realistic fire and water effect . never have I see environment so meticulously detail , so wonderfully streamlined together that you could honestly believe that the world the game introduce to you could be real . the character model be also very well do , even if you see the same 5 villager model over , and over , and over . Leon Kennedy look amazingly cool , and Ashley appearance convey the perfect look of a frightened and vulnerable damsel in distress . and the character model of the bad guy , from Lord Saddler to the `` big Cheese , '' really embody the sense of evil -lrb- although the little guy who be the caretaker of the castle do not seem all that frightening -rrb- . I could go on and on about every little graphical detail that Capcom stuff into this game -lrb- like the amazing water and rain effect and the scary use of lightning -rrb- , but to wrap this up , let just say that you could buy this game for the sole purpose to look at it and you would be please . sound : 10\/10 now sound be always a important part of any game . it enhance and set the mood and immerse you in a world that you can only wish to live in , or in the case of Resident Evil 4 , make you glad that you do not . the music in Resident Evil 4 be creepy and frightening and do a extraordinary job of enhance the unsettling atmosphere . -lrb- although , sometimes the lack of music can be freaky as well -rrb- . and all the sound effect in the game be perfectly use . for example , when you be walk up a wooden staircase in order to enter a spooky look house ; you can hear you footstep resonate and echo on the wooden stair . and when you be in the castle you can hear the monk ' murmur get louder and louder and louder , as they approach . which also bring up the point that if you know any spanish you will be in for a treat since that be the language that the enemy speak in , another fine example of Capcom completely immerse you into a believable eastern european setting . Voice act be spot-on and professionally do . I love all the voice and I congratulate Capcom for find such talented actor . sound effect for gun be also very distinct and extremely well do , but there be not a lot of time to think about the sound of you gun when enemy be surround you from every direction . Gameplay : 10\/10 I play this game with a friend take turn at the control when we die or finish a chapter and we play for eight hour straight only take quick break to go to the bathroom . we do not eat , we do not drink . we just turn off the light and play all night . we be really that addict . the gameplay here be so fast pace that it be easy to forget how much time have pass since start -lrb- although whenever you save at a typewriter you will be remind of it -rrb- . enemy be smart and aggressive . not all of they will attack you by run straight at you . they will flank you and swarm at you from all direction . a lot have the ability to use a wide range of weapon from pitchfork , torch , crossbow , mace , axis , dynamite and the very frightening chainsaw -lrb- although the guy carry the chainsaw be not a ordinary villager and be extremely difficult to kill -rrb- . but do not worry because you can hit a lot of weapon right out of enemy hand -lrb- not the chainsaw though -rrb- which bring I to another very interesting point of game play ; enemy will react differently depend on where you hit they . for example , if you shoot a villager in the leg , he 'll stumble and fall . if you shoot they in the head , they head will either explode or they 'll hold they face in pain -lrb- it depend on how powerful you gun be -rrb- . this be actually the only shooting game I have play that you can aim at enemy ankle and win a fight . it be very impressive how much this feature influence the flow of battle . for instance , if you only have ammo for you weakest gun such as you pistol and several enemy be advance on you quickly , it be usually a good idea to shoot at they leg so you can make they fall and slow down they advance . other time , it be a good idea to land a head shot which will hopefully decapitate the assailant and make he fall to the ground . -lrb- headshot however , will sometimes be a bad idea later on in the game . you will know what I mean when you see it -rrb- . sometimes you can make enemy fall to they knee allow you to go up to they and press the `` a '' button to let loose a powerful kick . this bring up another important aspect of game play , the context-sensitive action button which will help you perform a wide variety of task from jump out of window to sprint away from fall boulder . it be truly a marvel on how much this simple button can do . Boss battle in Resident Evil be among some of the best . whether it be the squirm terror of the mouth of `` Del Lago '' the horrifying , demented body of the `` big Cheese '' -lrb- not actually make of cheese , but that be what everyone call he for some reason -rrb- , or the killing grip of `` El Gigante , '' boss will make you think , make you act quickly and make you cry out in frustration as you die many , many time -lrb- trust I on this on this one -rrb- . you do not shoot randomly while face a boss ; you mostly find you self run , try you best to avoid they deadly move and find a opening for a well aim gunshot . thankfully , you do not have to protect Ashley during most boss scene . Ashley be the reason you be send to this murderous little village , and she safety be the only thing that will allow you out . once you find she , Ashley will follow you wherever you go , and she be sometimes essential to figure out certain puzzle . you press the x button to make she switch between follow you and stay right where she be . but be careful , if you leave she all alone she might be pick up by one of you numerous foe who will carry she to the nearest exit . if you let they escape , then the game be over . a quick gun shot to the leg however , will make the kidnapper drop she . but be careful here as well , because if you accidentally kill ashley -lrb- like I ` ve do on several occasion -rrb- , then the game be over . when she drop to the ground , she will automatically run up behind you . if you need to turn around to shoot or shoot any enemy near she , she will quickly duck allow you to get a clear shot at you enemy -lrb- but be sure to withdraw you gun when you want she to run , because she 'll stay crouch as long as you point you gun near she -rrb- . ashley rarely become a real annoyance for I and my friend . she fit very well into the structure of the game and be easy to control indirectly . when you have to directly control she , the game fill with tension since she be arm only with a flashlight and nothing else -lrb- one particular scene involve some murderous suit of armor make my heart pound -rrb- . the only thing we get mad about be that we have to spend we precious herb on she when she get hurt , make we go into furious , heart racing battle with little to no health -lrb- a minor complaint however because you can continue the game over and over when you die , usually from the spot right before you die -rrb- at certain point during battle -lrb- and during movie -rrb- the l and r button or the a and b button can be press at the same time to perform a dodge move . the game will tell when to press they and it like the change what set of button you press in order to dodge . this make you play the game by the seat of you pants , force you to have the controller in you hand at all time and always be on the lookout for chance to dodge -lrb- once during a movie , my friend put the controller down as he be accustom to . then all of the sudden , the game tell we to press Land r to dodge . we both dive for the controller but it be too late . blood go fly everywhere and we be roll on the floor laughing -rrb- . other gameplay element include the very important position of the camera , which be always behind you and will zoom up to look over you shoulder when aim you weapon . this allow a uninterrupted gaming experience and no confusion when change you direction . Controls work wonderfully . I have never play a Resident Evil game before , but I have hear that the control have not change much at all . hold b to run . hold r to aim and a to shoot and hold l to pull out you knife and press a to use it . they really be very simple , and easy to use and master -lrb- although my friend keep think he be play Madden 2005 and keep press the y button to run . but that be a different story -rrb- . when you be aim you stand completely still which may bother some people but it really do enhance the atmosphere and make you really feel like you be try to survive . the only complaint I have about the control be that it do not allow you to switch weapon on the fly . you constantly have to go back to the inventory screen to pick a weapon . I would of prefer if they make the d-pad switch weapon but sadly it be just there as a alternative to the control stick . but this be just a minor complaint . the last aspect of gameplay would be the inventory screen , the weapon , and the merchant . you inventory screen be a grid . each item that you have , except for treasure and key item , will take up a certain number of box of the grid , which can severely limit what you can carry -lrb- if you have play Deus ex or diablo ii , then you should you be familiar with this type of inventory . -rrb- but do not worry , you can buy bigger inventory from the merchant , who be nearly everywhere in the game . -lrb- whether it be one merchant or a clan of merchant be unknown , however if you kill a merchant , they will disappear for the entire game -rrb- . the merchant will buy treasure from you and sell you weapon in return . he list of weapon will grow during the course of the game , so do not worry if he selection seem rather limit at the start . he can also tune up you gun , which add a rpg quality to the game . you can increase the firepower , reload time , firing speed , and bullet capacity for nearly all of you gun for a price that increase with each new level you upgrade they to . this feature enhance the game experience extensively since you often will make choice on what aspect of you gun to upgrade while consider all the different type of battle situation -lrb- do you want you tmp to kill more people with less shot , or do you want it to be able to carry a lot more ammo than it normally do ? -rrb- Replay Value : 8\/10 from what I have hear , most people take around 20 hour to complete this game . but believe I , those will be the most exciting , the most rewarding , the most challenging and often the most frightening 20 hour in you life . and you rarely have to backtrack so you will see a whole lot during those 24 hour . I be not even on the second disc yet but I know that once I finish this game , I 'll be back again to play it on a harder mode . there be also a lot of thing to collect and perfectionist will be itch at the chance to go back , since the game record you accuracy , the amount of enemy you kill , and the amount of time you die after each chapter . there be also mini-game hide throughout the game and I have hear that there be another mini-game that you unlock after you beat the game . but this game be not like Animal crossing of the Sims or a mmo . this game will eventually see it be shelf life on the top of my 24 game collection . but even then , I will be proud to own it . Summary : presentation : 10\/10 a great story full of mystery , conspiracy , and action . it will keep you hooked and make you nibble on that hook in hope of be drag deeper and deeper into the plot . great visual , excellent cut scene , a wonderful script and it be all present in letterbox mode make it seem as if you be control a fantastical movie . graphic : 10\/10 anything less would be blasphemy . simply put , this be one of the best look game , ever . Play it use Progressive scan Mode to make you unworthy eye see something utterly amazing . sound : 10\/10 a impressive array of sound from gunshot blast , to explode head . Voice act be top notch , and the music provide a wonderfully scary ambient noise to the background . Play it with Dolby Surround Sound to hear you foe creep up behind you . I just love the sound in this game . Gameplay : 10\/10 combat never get old . the action button really enhance the experience as it allow you to do much more , and the boss battle provide new standard of what a boss battle should be . I can not even remember the last time that I have have so much fun with a video game . Replay Value : 8\/10 at 20 hour , it be a little on the short side . but believe I , those will be the most exciting , the most rewarding , the most challenging and often the most frightening 20 hour in you life . I be plan on go through it again once I be do . final score -lrb- not a average -rrb- : 9.9 \/ 10 okay , be you do reading ? good ! now find some cash and go to you nearest videogame retailer and buy this game . you will not regret it . what ?! you can not find any money ? then go couch-diving for penny , open up you saving 's account , sell you child ! you get my point do not you ? you must own this game ! closing comment : a little Public Service announcement Resident Evil 4 be rate m for a reason . there be a extreme amount of violence and gore in here and Leon often swear , especially when Ashley be steal from he -lrb- on numerous occasion -rrb- . seriously now , you should not let younger kid watch this game , much less play it . it do become scary very quickly -lrb- although I find most of the experience exciting , instead of scary -rrb- and if you let you son or daughter play this , make sure that they know the difference between reality and virtual reality . we do not want any kid discover they father 's gun and try to see if people 's head really do explode when shoot at . and I always hate it when parent get mad about violence in game when they should never have buy they kid the game in the first place . so keep I happy , and buy this game , just do not let any youngin ' see it . - +453 Video_Games POS 5 this computer game have a such a wonderful environment to explore ! I wish there be more of it ! the 3-d animated character be a nice improvement over the 2-d animation in `` secret can kill '' . the puzzle be fun , and the game play be addictive . this game be a little bit tougher than the last game ... you really have to hunt for those clue . `` Stay Tuned '' be perfect for anyone who love a good mystery . it be a refreshing alternative to the blood , gore and evil in the popular software game today . I highly recommend it . +768 Video_Games POS 4 just get the game . the bad guy keep win . look for a guidebook to give I some clue on how to keep I alive and win . it a big game universe . do not plan on finish any time soon ... +938 Video_Games POS 5 I know that this be the most scariest nd game you ever make !!!!!! +753 Video_Games NEG 1 i be 16 hour into this game , and be very close to finish . i enjoy it a lot up to this point . but i can not recommend this game to anyone , and i can only hope to steer clear any that try and buy this . after complete the slaughterhouse i go back to iri hq . funny thing be i be able to walk through double hh , which i thought be odd because he be usually in the way . well that be the last i saw of he . he never appear again so i can not finish the game . -lrb- ... -rrb- +310 Video_Games POS 5 some people obviously have bias opinion regard this game . bottom line be , if you be a fan of platformer or the SpongeBob show , you will love this game . there be so much humor and great gameplay in here ! if you like play rpg , then you should go be a wizard instead . graphic - 9 , gameplay - 9 , sound - 10 , replayability - 9 . the score say it all . +508 Video_Games POS 5 the 4g will get you start `` be the controller '' but the hard drive be come up a little short . to have less wear and tear I like to upload the game instead of the hd spin constantly read the disk yet , the hd be too short for that . the 250g might save you entire system in the long run . in turn save you $ $ $ . the new Slim have have no problem with `` red ring '' since November . btw +323 Video_Games NEG 2 I be excite to finally get the game of my dream . well , it be not any more ! for starter , they do not have very good dog breed . only 18 ! each day be around 5 min . long . you day be like this : you get up , be force to eat breakfast , be force to go to school , and you be force to eat dinner , the line the parent say be ALWAYS the same and be TACKY !!!! a friend of mine agree that the game be a rip-off ! you only have the dog for 3 week , and the week go by quickly . please ! take my advice . do not buy this game . if I would have know , I would not have buy it !!!! +29 Video_Games POS 5 great shooter game . killer graphic . I have set the language to English first and then just for fun I try the spanish version -lrb- latinoamericano -rrb- and I like the translation . +992 Video_Games POS 5 if you like to dance , you will like this game . it be fun for those who do not dance well and those who do . +73 Video_Games POS 5 Gamecube be very different from xbox and ps2 . the xbox and ps2 play dvd 's and cd 's but the gamecube be base only on the game and the fun in the game . thegamecube have great multyplayer game , in a way the gamecube graphic be not as good as ps2 and xbox but very fun . the system be very easy to get use to , the size of the system be like have a blow up sne but its very nice . the controller be a little hard to use but be sometimes very easy to get use to . the dark black color be enterest it make the gamecube look like a pieceof art . if you have a dvd player trust I you should get a gamecube its very fun to play with you friend and its get a lot of good game like super smash brother melee . +720 Video_Games POS 5 i just buy this one for my son because i enjoy use it already -lrb- i have it in black color -rrb- the sound from people mic be very good and clear and other player can hear I just fine . I have have trouble buy headset in the past but this one fit comfortable unlike the other . plus the mic part be build nice and thick so you dont have to worry about it break . +217 Video_Games POS 5 this be simply a beautiful and amazing piece of hardware . have play uncharted , FIFA Soccer and Wipeout 2048 for the last two day now , I can honestly say that Sony have deliver on all the high promise that be make over the last year . most of the thing that other reviewer criticize seem to be unavoidable : of course the battery life have to be much more limited than that of the iPad , and of course a 5-inch screen will not replace you hd-tv . also , in contrast to the iPad , every Vita be heavily sponsor by Sony - time will tell if they ever get they money back . the one thing that I think could and should have be avoid be the low placement of the two analog joystick . this be fix if you buy one of the various `` hand grip '' or `` trigger grip '' - I buy Sony 's for $ 18 , and it fix the problem . +263 Video_Games POS 4 these wireless headphone be incredible . directional sound allow you to hear noise behind and beside you in the game . only drawback be that it eat battery every 3-4 hour of use . +598 Video_Games NEG 1 I regret have ever buy this game it be AWFUL and I want MY MONEY back . that be say , amazon ship my order hellum fast . five star for you , amazon warehouse worker . +324 Video_Games POS 5 i have play it befor it be a good game +131 Video_Games POS 5 this be my first review ever on Amazon , and the reason be because this be the first product I have ever feel so compel to review . I switch from pc gaming to console about a year ago , but be one of those people who be very frustrate by dual-analog control . I sort of stumble upon the EEC , read a ton of review and watch YouTube vid , and decide to buy one . I have to say that this product be exactly as advertise , it work perfectly , and be as close to pc gaming as you 'll get on a console . I happen to be use a Razer Death Adder mouse and cheap usb keyboard I buy on Amazon for $ 10 . I will say that the higher-dpi mouse make a huge difference in the feel . before , I be use a Microsoft Intellimouse and it be jittery , slow , and inaccurate . long story short , if you be look for mouse\/keyboard gameplay on the PS3 , it be not go to get better than this . pro : - no lag - very smooth movement - great in-game advanced calibration - key-mapping software be easy to use - very long usb cable con : - very long usb cable ! - in order to run the firmware update , you need a 32-bit OS , so I have to install Windows xp use VMWare in order to update the firmware , as my computer have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit . - accord to the forum on PenguinUnited 's site , there be some incompatibility with certain mouse\/keyboard hardware , so make sure to check the forum for you mouse compatibility . +540 Video_Games POS 5 I get this for my fiance for he birthday . I pre-order it so it would be in just on time , i get it on he birthday ! he be so happy , and he love it ! I love watch he play it , great storyline ! this be a great game and it make a great gift . +0 Video_Games NEU 3 this game feature a new 3d setup , which with the hero system I believe make the game more complicated than it need to be . be a active starcraft player , I find the mechanic bog I down when I try to play the campaign mission . I just hope starcraft 2 be not build like this game be . +692 Video_Games NEU 3 I love need for speed , but the series have be go down . shift and Hoot pursuit have basically revive this dead franchise . the last good nf game be most want and that be in a different console generation . this game deliver everything you can want from a need for speed game . I have the sense of speed , excellent sound , sexy car , big crash , and excellent pursuit that will have you on the edge of you seat till the finish line . criterion do a very good job , but they be miss one big part of what make the previous hot pursuit game so much fun . Split Screen multiplayer . hot pursuit be fun , but it would be even better if it have split screen . for some reason it be not there . this would make a incredible party game , but unfortunately it be online multiplayer only . I do not know why they would leave it out as it would make a great game even better . +942 Video_Games POS 4 the game be gonna be the major Biggity bomb !!! it will Roxxorz !! I will be take a nap at Wal Mart the day before it come out so that I will own this game for the rest of my life . I think I may sleep with it for the first few night after I get it . Ninja Gaiden be the BIIIIIIIIIZZZZZOOOMB !! I be gonna destroy all dem mounster . +412 Video_Games POS 5 I be 58 and be love the Zumba . I be slowly get rid of my muffin top ! I get so tired of the Wii Fit Plus tell I I be overweight , well , duh , why do you think I be do this !?! this be fun , get you heart pump , and you actually get result . I have lose weight ! no , really . I have be do it at least 4 to 5 time a week . it work . and boy , you will too ! +315 Video_Games POS 4 I have play this game a fair amount since release and feel I can give a review on my initial impression on the game . it be a mmo so the game will evolve over time , so some of my statement may no longer be relevant after patch be release . pro : + Graphics + soloable -lrb- party be still faster -rrb- + in depth , skill base craft system + storyline + music + extremely large zone , you will rarely come across zone line con : - uus lag for npc interaction , change equipment , and craft - no auction House\/Market search -lrb- detail below -rrb- - teleport consume Anima , you gain enough Anima for 1 to 1.5 teleport a day - chat system be clunky , and linkshell -lrb- guild -rrb- chat can easily be lose in battle spam -lrb- you deal x damage to y monster -rrb- . filter be avalible , but not complete . - content lock out currently . ishgard -lrb- the new Jeuno for FFXI player -rrb- be close . you can not ride chocobo yet . no airship . this make travel time consuming , and no central place for meeting people . - uus do not improve over XI , pretty much the same -lrb- just more\/different menu option -rrb- . - Account management be clunky beyond belief . I would also like to hit on a few point that have people worry before release . the biggest be probably the fatigue system where people be afraid that se would limit you play time . well , I can tell you that unless you be a power leveler -lrb- as in play all day every day -rrb- you will not hit the limit . you can get into the 20 's for rank within a single week , the cap for the game be currently 50 . so if 3 week be too long to reach max level ... then I guess the fatigue system will be a problem for you . for we mortal who must sleep however it be not something you be likely to run into . level pace be extreamly fast for the first 10 rank , once you hit rank 10 however you hit a wall and thing slow down , a lot . I also want to go into more detail on one of my con , the lack of a auction house\/search system . in this game almost all you equipment will come from crafter . not drop . not buy from npc shop . this give crafter in the game a real purpose , and I like that because I enjoy craft . this be completely opposite to game like WoW where the vast majority of craft goods be ` useless ' in comparison to dungeon drops\/quest reward . to sell item you can create a npc retainer who act like a shop keeper . you put they in a area that act like a market square where other player can walk around and view each shop . there be no way to search who be sell what , or who be buy what . you have to go through each retainer , one by one , and there be thousand of they . you be look at significant time to search through a sea of stuff you do not want to try and find the item you need ... at a price you can afford . the problem with this be all the craft be dependent on each other . want to make a spear as a blacksmith ? you 'll need a carpenter to make the shaft , and the carpenter will need raw wood from a botanist . you 'll also need some leather for the grip , which you get from a leather worker , who need chemical from a alchemist to cure the hide . you can see how this be go , if you want to make something you need to buy component from other crafter -lrb- or level that craft yourself -rrb- . with no auction house or market search feature it be near impossible to find the item you need , which make craft gear near impossible , which mean once you get into the teens for rank , and certainly into the 20 's , you gear be really start to hurt you . that be my biggest complaint with the game . se have say they have something ready -lrb- either ah or search feature -rrb- but they be wait to see what player do with the economy ... this be really stupid in my opinion as this issue be turn a lot of people away from they game , include I . fix this one issue and my rating of the game will increase a substantial amount . my recommendation would be to wait to purchase this game until they have fix the ah\/market search problem . once that be fix , it really have the potential to be a great mmorpg . -lrb- small note on collector 's edition . the NA crowd get shaft big time compare to EU . we get less stuff -lrb- know before purchase -rrb- but also the journal be crap compare to the EU one . -rrb- update 9\/29\/2010 : Square-Enix have announce plan to re-do the market ward . they 'll name each ward towards specific category of equipment\/items and any item sell in that ward that fall under its category will have a reduce tax . player be not force to sell only that category goods though . they plan to implement this in 1 to 2 week . I can see this improve the situation , but not entirely solve it . since each player be currently limit to a single retainer you can expect the category to only be loosely follow . se plan to allow player to have multiple retainer , but likely at a real world cost of $ 1\/extra retainer -lrb- this price be announce long ago before the game release -rrb- . I will personally probably get 2 extra retainer to make the game cost be $ 14.99 which be equal to other pay to play MMO 's . it should be note that each retainer have a 80 item capacity so the more you have , the more storage you have also . UPDATE : 7\/27\/2011 : well , it have be almost a full year -lrb- 10 month -rrb- since launch and I can say this game have see major improvement . it be still not quite there , but it be a much better game than what we first see . the market ward have a nice search feature , that include price . it will even place a icon next to the Retainers name so you can easily find they in the ward . Shopping be a much much more enjoyable experience now . I still think a ah style in the way of ffxus would be better -lrb- game would not have to load thousand of retaienr - obvious lag -rrb- . combat have have lot of improvement , most recently the removal of fatigue and stamen , and the addition of you time honor auto-attack . since stamen be remove you special skill now work off cool-down timer like you be use to from ffxus and other mmo 's . craft for local levequest be now much faster since it give you a repeat option . no more need to go through you menu every single time . it also remember that last few thing you have craft for quicker access . repair have be greatly simplify , a single material type be now need for every equipment type call dark matter . no more need to carry around , or find , several different type -lrb- for example cloth fent , tree branch , ore , metal , etc -rrb- to keep you armor and weapon in good shape . they have add nm and also have start add quest to the game that fall outside of the basic levequest the game start with . there be still very few of these though . you can tell from the patch note and the letter from the producer that they be put the framework in for questing hub like you 'll find in most popular MMO 's that will be a welcome addition . they have add the hub , but not the quest yet . they have also add two instanced dungeon -lrb- they call they raid , but I think that be a bit much for what they be -rrb- that require party to complete . I have decide to bump my review up a star to 4\/5 due to all they change they have make . the final star can be earn once they flesh out the quest to add content to keep it from be a mindless grindfest to level , and once they finally add alternative mode of transportation -lrb- airship and chocobo at a minimum -rrb- . +360 Video_Games NEU 3 overall this be a very good game . however , give who put the game out , I be actually expect a little more polish and a little more feature right out of the gate . the graphic be fantastic , far better version of a post disaster world than either Fallout or Borderlands . the weapon be all very nicely do , even the pistol . there be some minor control issue though . for example , you can only activate one `` gadget '' at a time , and have to cycle through they to activate a different one . the problem be that some of they be pretty critical , like grenade or bandage for healing . if you have it on you bandage and see a great opportunity to throw a grenade , you have a take time to cycle to they , and you know how that go , you opportunity for that grenade toss probably dry up because the guy be scamper around . Pretty good inventory system , since you do not have to mess around with weight . so far I have not see a way to sell the old component on you vehicle after you upgrade to something better . they seem to just sit there gather dust , and all the hard earn money you spend be go . the big complaint be about the co-op mode and the lack of a co-op campaign . this game could have easily be make for a two-player outing , but sadly they just add on some co-op mission and call it a day . they be mildly entertaining but in the end the whole mode feel tack on and I really expect far more from Bethesda and id software . hopefully they will make up for some of it with some DLC , but my hope be not high . overall a very good game . they could have and should have do some thing better , but they choose not to . I hope for another installment and further hope that they 'll put in some of the feature that would have make this a superb game . +146 Video_Games NEG 1 seriosly , it be not that good of a game it be a waste of 50 buck just to see some tid if u be read this that mean you online so go to a xxx website do not spend 50 doller it be ... . . sad +624 Video_Games POS 5 with instant download of Microsoft point for the xbox 360 , it be convenient , fast and I never have to leave the house to get they . +273 Video_Games NEG 1 terrible purchase . Laggy render speed -lrb- think Powerpoint -rrb- , horrible interface , boring concept . there be more fun in open-source and you do not have to put up with ea do the DRM thing . talk about not be able to take a clue from they customer base . Sheesh . gg ea . +596 Video_Games POS 5 I have have this for six year , and I still love it . the cool thing be , if the object selection do not have what you be look for , you can take another object , and use it for what you need . for instance , the moon , if you change the color , you get a ball . or the cloud can be bathtub bubble . you can stack four driedel on top of each other to make a tie . and if you do not find what you want in the background , you can build you own room design by go to ` decor ' and get the wall and floor . you can add furniture , or people , or animal , there be a lot you can do . here be the category in object : adult animal Decor Kids make-believe animal Nature Shelters Storybook people thing Vehicles +505 Video_Games NEU 3 I 'll leave the Xbox part out , because we all know that work fine . the kinect device be a impressive piece of technology that work as advertise , track you and put you `` in the game . '' jump and you character jump . the only problem I have with it be a dealbreaker though . it require significantly more space than the minimum . while Microsoft say it will work with 6 foot of space , I have very little luck with 8 foot . if you have a big , open space , this be a great option for you . if you be like most of we , we 'll have to wait for another solution . summary : do not buy unless you have 10 foot or more of space . take width and height of you play area into account as well . +71 Video_Games POS 5 order from TOTALCONSOLE . receive the Microsoft brand dongle with driver cd and instruction in a plain white box . again , what I receive be the Microsoft brand dongle , not a third party receiver . it connect to my controller and everything work just fine . exactly what I want . +805 Video_Games NEG 1 the game be poorly optimize for pc , I can not recommend buy it as it currently be . a patch be release today which seem to make thing worse for some people , I include , but some other people claim it fix they stuttering issue , so that be kind of a gamble . if they do manage to fix the stutter issue , +2 star ! +857 Video_Games POS 5 what a great controller for the PS3 . have great rumble timing , and for my opinion the best controller in the market . recommend +39 Video_Games POS 4 this game be pretty fun , and can get pretty hard sometimes , send you in multiple direction to try to help the civilian with they ill . +808 Video_Games POS 5 I get this for my 3 1\/2 yr old for Christmas , and both she and she 7 yr old sister love it ! they have play it for hour . the graphic be very good and it have lot of cute and entertaining game ! I highly recommend this one ! it be worth the money ! +77 Video_Games NEU 3 my kid like the collection of old game best . he only complaint be that there be a lot of the same game in the different collection . have be around to play many of these in the arcade the reproduction look pretty good . Wish they have PSP 's when I be a kid . +5 Video_Games POS 5 my wife and she sister play these game . they both love this game and say it be a lot of fun . everything come on time and installation be no problem . no complaint . +475 Video_Games POS 5 the back story be always ground in a real disastrous event in Katherine Diane Cadell 's life . quicker than you can say , `` oh , no ! '' she imagination create a related adventure with the Star Flyers and she as Katie Cadet - leader of the pack . and the pack include AJ who have special power for each mission , Io , a fire breathing dog and klanker , a very strong robot . the action be basically arcade style - but a very clever and imaginative arcade . the setting be sure to please child - planet chocolopagus where you herd marshmallow through chocolate tunnel ; planet bowlarama where besides jump and climb , the player have to make use of the different power of the team to get past hazard and planet ice cube where planning and mapping skill be need to navigate maze . activity be vary so the pace of the game keep the interest high without it be tiring . get from one planet to another require navigate the spaceship through the Popcorn Galaxy avoid space food junk and finding caramel power up . the level be tough , tougher and Toughest , and be just another example of the care and sensitivity that the designer use in put together this game . as in all of the Learning Company 's game there be self leveling and it be set to on but can be turn off . self leveling keep track of the player progress and adjust it accord to the performance , so that if you ace a game , the next one will be tougher . the current format in game now-a-day be to put the manual on the disk . do yourself or you kid a favor and read it . the how 's and why 's and what be good stuff and what be stuff to be avoid and what be to point of it all - be not always obvious - so read the manual . the upper age range for this game be eight , but it be unusual and clever enough to please older kid besides be delicious . +45 Video_Games POS 5 good game , online be very good . the image quality be excellent . and it be fun online . I recommend it widely . I play here in Venezuela with my friend online and have a great time playing . +629 Video_Games POS 5 I be a little late create this review -lrb- purchase a black ds3 , back in April of 2009 -rrb- , but at least I can comment on its long-term durability . this controller do feel lighter than the ds3 that be include with my chechk01 80gb PS3 from December 2008 . however , it be not fall apart -lrb- Read : No abnormal wear & tear -rrb- or anything after 2 year of almost continuous usage by family and friend . I wish I could comment more on it but what can I say ? it be a controller , it do what it be suppose to . : -rrb- note to future buyer : it would probably be best if you just purchase this controller directly from Amazon -lrb- ie : ship and sell by Amazon -rrb- or at least one of the more reputable Third-Party Sellers that have great feedback over hundred if not thousand of transaction under they belt . there have definitely be a uptick in counterfeit\/faux\/fake controller sell by some seller here and on other site . please be cautious and try not to fall for they trickery of price that be ` too good to be true ' . +128 Video_Games NEG 2 be new to x-box I decide to buy this remote on a suggestion from a friend . I have be use this for 2 month now and have run into many problem so far with this controller . first issue i have be with the r2 & l2 button . while all the other button on this controller be very touch sensitive and react with amazing speed , these two button appear to have a longer throw to active the button . mainly use this to play call of Duty you can imagine with even the smallest delay can be frustrating . after about a month of adult use -lrb- no throwing , slamming or mistreat involve -rrb- the r2 button would glitch and be intermittent when depress -lrb- again very frustrating with cod -rrb- . now it seem the l2 button be start to glitch in the same way , when depress it would active only like it be be push half way ? I would have also like to see a larger separation between the extra `` programmable '' button and the standard r1 button , be so tight together you often activate both of they when you go to use the extra button . there be other smaller issue that I will not go into as this be longer than expect . I be chalk this up as a lesson learn and will trash this controller and go back to purchase a standard controller . +134 Video_Games NEU 3 good buy . actually third set I have purchase . they be cheaply make , but for three buck you can not beat it in my opinion . +538 Video_Games POS 5 I just buy Babyz . it be so fun . I find myself at the computer for hour just try to teach my baby a new word , feed he , or change he diaper . it be surley one of my favorite computer game . if you like this game you should also try the Sims , that another one of my all time favorite . +821 Video_Games POS 4 Voucher in game do not work , so I contact Capcom which in turn say they need to contact Sony to resolve the problem . that be over three week ago !!!! I have not hear back from Capcom since , . this be not what I call good customer service . I pay for a collector edition to get all the extra , not be give the run around . shame on Capcom . +339 Video_Games NEU 3 fable be a game that aim way too high and have no chance of do anything but come up short of gamer ' expectation . yes , it be a good game . yes , it be worth playing . no , it be probably not worth buying , nor be it as deep and realistic as its creator profess . the game be short . I beat it in 12 hour and that include a fair amount of screw around . this be unacceptable consider it be developer claim that fable would be the greatest rpg ever make . the game be easy . if you be good at videogame , you will find this game easy . they say you can `` boast '' to make you mission harder , and while this can make indiviual mission tougher , it be not enough to make the overall game experience more difficult . the good\/evil idea be a good \* idea \* . implement it in a way that be satisfy to the player have yet to be achieve by any game and it would appear we have a long way to go . ca not really blame the developer for try but the morality element be painfully two-dimensional . the action be good . combat be fun and addictive . there be a good amount of skill and powerup to choose from when spend you experience , but again , the extremely short length of the game make all you careful experience spending feel waste . the story blow . take a stereotype fairytale and take away a few hour and you have fable 's story . the game be novel at first . it trick you . but as you play more you see that , at best , fable be a good action\/adventure game : not the ultimate good\/evil rpg that some have hope for . Rent it . +757 Video_Games POS 5 if you be angry about the violent and sexual content in this game , there be one easy way to make it all go away ... . do not buy the freak game ! it say right on the front of the box , rate m for MATURE , AGES 17 and up . if you buy this for you 9 year old and you catch he blow up hooker , it be you own fault for buy it for he . and by the way , about the Hot Coffee mod ... if you kid can go on the internet , search around enough , find the mod , download it , and install it , then he be probably be look at porn already . +364 Video_Games POS 5 this be one of my favorite game . I enjoy the realistic feature . the rides\/stalls , such as : Food Stalls Roller coaster -lrb- of course ! -rrb- Merry Go Rounds Ferris Wheels Ballon Stalls Information booth -lrb- that sell umbrella and map -rrb- water ride just to name a few . you get different weather as the year go on , and the umbrella make lot of money when it rain . rain be a little bit of a downside , because then people do not want to go on certain ride when it rain . also you have 4 kind of worker : handymen-who clean up when people throw up -lrb- yes , people throw up after go on intense ride -rrb- , clean up litter , water flower bed , empty trash can , and mow grass . mechanics-who fix ride -lrb- ride do break down -rrb- , and inspect ride to make sure they do not break down or explode because that be dangerous to guest , who die if you ride explode . Security guards-who watch for vandalizim entertainers-who make you guest want to stay and keep they happy . they can be panda bear , tiger , or elephant . also , my younger sister 's teacher keep this game in they class room at school , because it teach they how to spend money on important thing , loan , etc. it be a wonderful game and if I could have a simscity game or this game I would choose this one . +539 Video_Games POS 5 the doom name have always be synonymous with fp -lrb- first person shooter -rrb- , so I be always amaze at how long it take ID to come out with a new iteration of the game with enhance play and graphic . let I just say that this game be worth the wait . the graphic be flawless , right down to the character 's arm hair . you can actually see realistic look dimple and razor scarring on the npc face ! I be get ahead of myself . the premise be rather straightforward . all hell break loose -lrb- no pun intend -rrb- on a top secret Martian research facility , and you character have be give the duty to set thing right . the monster be fierce and agile . the weapon be deadly . the environment be beyond spooky . my suggestion be to play this game at night with the light off and the speaker crank , and believe I , it will scare the living daylight out of you . all the weapon from the original doom be back , and look quite impressive , especially the bfg-9000 . a few extra have be add , such as hand grenade and the Soul cube . yes it can be a pain sometimes because you can not carry a flashlight and fire at the same time , force you to do without any light during critical firefight , but in my opinion that add to the horror and difficulty factor . creature aus be not that great , but let I tell you that these monster be much tougher than you remember from the original . imp can suddenly jump and strike you from 30 foot away , or even drop down from the ceiling behind you . the spider swarm you from every direction . the lose soul charge you at amazing speed from multiple direction . the gameplay can get repetetive quickly , but you heart be beat way too fast for you to even notice . with superb graphic , eery sound effect , and good playability , I say this game be a must have for any fp fan . FYI , the game run smoothly on my pc at 1024x768 at high detail with this setup : AMD Athlon xp 3000 + , 128MB Radeon 9600 pro , 1.5 gb RAM , 2x120 GB SATA strip raid . +833 Video_Games POS 5 a person review the game below say that one of the bd point be that it take age to fill deck with room . in fact , there be a shortcut to make building room quicker . if you hold down the shift key , you can build a room multiple time , just like in Zoo Tycoon . +482 Video_Games NEG 1 this game be great fun as long as you like make content and then watch it on screen . the game play be very simplistic . cell stage game play be a flash game with pretty graphic . creature stage be like Diablo but water down with very few ability and repetitive game play . Tribal and civ stage be akin to RTS game , but lack the depth and variety of game such as sin of a solar empire or warcraft 3 . space stage be basically the first few stage over and over but with a space ship throw in . this be say I really do like playing . create a creature\/building\/vehicle , and then watch it do its thing be very satisfying . bottom line , if you like goof off and play with spore like a toy its fun . however if you be look for a deep combat system , complex rt strategy develop , or think provoke game play this game be not for you . the simplistic game play couple with outrageous DRM and the ea sporepedium server be very buggy -lrb- will not upload some creature -rrb- , this game need lot of work to be a fun game . the editor be already fantastic . stage need to be flesh out with more abilities\/vehicles\/strategy \/ etc. . DRM need to be do away with or make less crazy -lrb- 3 install you be basically rent the game for 50 usd -rrb- securom need to be do away with -lrb- it kill a CD rom drive on a old pc of mine . for the average gamer I would say stay away for now or wait for bargain bin price . +935 Video_Games POS 5 we buy this game for my 6 year old a few month ago . he absolutely love this game . he play it everytime he be allow to play he playstation . he say it be awesome and all of he friend with ps2 's have this game and if they dont have it then they want it . I recomend this to all power Ranger Dinothunder fan and so do my 6 year old . even my husband play this with he . +726 Video_Games POS 4 this be such a blast to play ! you want to play for hour ! it be in 2d which I do not care for but overall its a really fun game ! +983 Video_Games NEU 3 by now , you have probably hear all of the news story about the sensational success of the Nintendo Wii . it be sell out everywhere . Grannies be play Wii Sports in nurse home because it be so easy to pick up and play . but here 's what you will not hear -- the Wii be a pitifully outdated piece of junk with one major gimmick -lrb- the motion control -rrb- . I would like to see follow-up news story about the grannie to see whether they still turn the thing on . I know that mine now mostly collect dust , as do most other Wiis the define feature of the Wii be its motion control . here be the dirty little secret that the fanboy and enthusiastic recent buyer will not tell you : the Wii control be terrible . I have play through a lot of game , range from the AAA title like Mario Galaxy and Zelda , to the party game like Mario Party 8 and Wii Sports and I can say this -- motion control be awful . there be absolutely no precision to it . if you have dream of use the wii-mote realistically like a lightsaber , than forget it . it do not facilitate any kind of decent control . the only game where motion control actually improve the gameplay be Wii Bowling . in every other game , it be generally a annoyance that be use in gimmicky fashion . Random button press have be replace with random wii-mote gesturing . by the time you have play a game like Zelda or Bully for a few hour , you will be wish that you could push button in lieu of wave you wii-mote around . this be why 90 % of the software on the Wii be shovelware party game . this be why the Wii have the lowest ratio of software to hardware sale out of the three major console . speak of shovelware , the Wii have by far the worst library of any game console this decade . most of what come out for it be unplayably bad . there be a few great first party Nintendo title -lrb- which be largely rehash from prior Nintendo platform -rrb- , and a few great third party title like Bully and Resident Evil 4 that be already available on other system . every multiplatform game that come out , whether its Madden football , Star Wars : The Force Unleashed , Guitar Hero , or a call of duty game , put its worst version on the Wii . if you do not believe I , then look up the review for these game . the Wii always get the worst version of every game . I can not think of one single exception to this rule . the reason for the poor Wii software library be that the Wii be nothing mroe than a gamecube with gimmicky motion control . everything about the technology , like graphic , level size , and load time , be bad . the Wii see none of the recent advance that have improve video game , like realistic physics . not only do the Wii not get a good version of multiplatform game , it do not get the great game that take advantage of modern technology . Fallout 3 , Grand theft auto iv , Mass effect , Far Cry 2 , Dead Space , leave 4 Dead , Assassins Creed , Portal , Half-Life 2 . you can not play these great game on the Wii . want to know why ? because they will not work on the Wii 's 2001-esque technology . you can not get downloadable content for Rock Band on the Wii . why ? because it lack a hard drive . two year ago , the price point for the Wii be a major selling point , but now that that pc hardware , the xbox 360 , and the PS3 have drop in price , this be no longer much of a advantage . you can actually get a barebones xbox 360 for $ 50 less than a Wii now . the only people for whom I would recommend this console be : a : people with child between the age of 3 and 10 b : people who have lot of social gathering at they house . the Wii be a good console for child because of the simplicity of the game , and the motion control do add a certain element of fun when you be play with other people . I must say that the time where my in-law have come over have see the Wii get a lot of use . other than that , not much . my wife play the Lego game with I , but you can get that game on other platform with better graphic . I buy a Wii about 8 month ago , and I be think about sell it now . I get some enjoyment out of it , but now I hardly ever turn it on . the pc provide a much better gaming experience for I , and now I be consider get a PS3 or a xbox 360 instead . +94 Video_Games POS 5 I be expect this game to be too easy , just for the littlest of kid but my boyfriend and I could not stop play . it be a engaging mystery with challenging minus game . the art design and character be well do and make the game all the better . visual and story aside , the game format be brilliant for family and single player . this game do not get the attention it deserve . probably because most anything Disney Interactive make be not usually that good , but they produce they best game here . I hope this game do well enough to make another because I want more mystery game of this caliber . +170 Video_Games POS 4 I love this game . it suck you in and you will remember the game all you life . for how much time they spend on this game and with all the other game they have do you would think they would have make the combat a little better by now . the kill animation be pretty corny and terribly do . the main story line be very very short . this be a major disappointment for I . after I beat the main quest I be like , `` WTF . . that be it ? '' . luckily as usual there be a ton of side quest . overall I think they could have do a better job . +232 Video_Games NEU 3 until recently , I be a pc gamer for 30 + year . that be until I buy my first gaming console -lrb- PS3 -rrb- . after several attempt of try to play black op , I decide that the transition to a game controler be not work out . use a game controller for I be like try to hit a move target while aim through a mirror that be also move . I decide to buy a after market game controller for my PS3 that use a mouse and controller . after some research , I choose the AIMON PS base on review I would read here and else where on the internet . the unit arrive in a few day . after read the very sparse instruction and attempt to use the controller I find it be not be recognize by my system . I go to the website and download the manual and after follow it very carefully , I still could not get the controller to work . I be begin to think that maybe I would waste my money . I go to the forum section and read the post there and find that I need to plug the wireless dongle into my pc 's usb port -lrb- you do this while press a very small button and release it once it be insert something my fat finger have a hard time with -rrb- and download the latest firmware . this do the trick . after set up the controller\/mouse sensitivity to my liking , I go about play `` uncharted 2 . '' first let I say that the response time be excellent . there be no lag that I could detect . this be surprising since I sit about 8 foot away from my 60 '' hdtv . bottom line , while it take I some time to get use to the controller , it be definately easier to use than the game controller that come with the system . my rating would have be higher if not for the poor instruction that come with the controller . they definately need to work on improve that . +234 Video_Games POS 4 this game rock ! it be a little different from Super Mario Kart for SNES and Mario Kart 64 in that there be two character per kart , but there inly the fun ! twice the question block , more strategy -lrb- as far as when to release you item vs when to hold on to they -rrb- and add feature like have a second player controll one of the character -lrb- allow you back character to punch other kart -rrb- . New course be a lot of fun and cgus characte be a exciting challenge in the 150cc race . +520 Video_Games NEG 1 do not waste you money on this game if you want to play the multiplayer online . I beta test for over a month with no problem . install digital version and only single player work . there be either a problem with the game it self , punkbuster or compatability with Windows 7 x64 . or all the above . I would request a refund but the place I purchase from do not do any refund for ea game only . if I would have read all the fine print never would have purchase this game . +191 Video_Games POS 5 I have have a couple of wireless controller in the past - from pelican . the Logitech wireless controller be light year ahead of those that I have use previously . the analog acurracy be exactly what be require by gamer and do not leave you frustrate from input that you do not intend . also the d-pad be great . you will not be disappoint with this item . also it do not interfer with my 802.11 b wireless network . +358 Video_Games NEG 2 if you be a gamer this be NOT the game for you ! the price of 50bones be to MUCH for THIS GAME ! THIS be play with MINI GAMES that LAST about 4 seconds and by the time you catch the hang of the MINI GAME ITS over ! the game do SHOW A LOT with the WII REMOTE BUT THIS be NOT the game for gamer ! this game be more for heck I do not KNOW NOT SURE ITS for ANYBODY IT should have just be a demo game ! please RENT IT BEFORE you buy it ! BUT if you need it for your collection of GAMES you CAN SURE ADD IT to the what the heck pile . BUT I must SAY THERE be SOME PARTS that will make you laugh BUT THIS be TRUELY NOT what your looking for in the 2007 I be left with only a few word and that what the heck ! +26 Video_Games POS 5 fast Lane stuff be criminal , and really should have be illegal . the pack be small , expensive , and contain nothing interesting or terrifically useful . late night be INCREDIBLE !!! all I have to say , be that the game be exciting , fun , and definitely fill with amazing thing . buy it , enjoy it , and make sure you play it . con : it do lag a little , as it be a big add-on to you computer . +85 Video_Games POS 4 the jak and Daxter game for the ps2 have always be some of my favorite game and naughty dog rarely let 's they fan down . this be another great game in the series although as you would imagine from the title you play as daxter alone . you be a exterminator and you go around kill different type of bug and nasty . the boss battle be great and well do , the game be enormous consider it be a portable game ! the graphic be ps2 quality . the load time be not that bad , compare to some other PSP title . my favorite level so far be the subway where you have to jump from one train to the other , it be pretty wicked . there be even minigame sprinkle about , when you collect enough precurser orb -lrb- the copper look egg thing -rrb- you can return to Daxter 's bed and he will have a dream sequence ! you play different action hero depend on the dream for example : neo from the matrix , the guy from Braveheart , and other . these be button mashing minus game where you have to press the corresponding button in the order show to hit the bad guy that come at you . the Matrix level be particularly great . the camera be probably do the best they could do on the psp but it be frustrate at time . pick this game up for yourself or the jack and daxter fan in you family ! you will not be disappoint . +281 Video_Games NEU 3 I be pleasantly surprise when Bethesda take over this series and do such a good job of it in Fallout 3 . they keep most of the thing that make the series great originally . that surreal mix of 1950 's \/ early 60 's patriotism and stark , cynical and tragic reality of a atomic apocalypse . brutal , funny , sad and touch all roll into one . it have bug but overall be a great game . when I hear about Fallout : New Vegas come out , I be excite to get into the game world again , this time in a retro combo of the Old West and rat pack style Vegas during it be heyday . a great idea . it \* mostly \* do justice to what it promise . a few thing have change this time around , most obviously in a more streamlined craft system and various new weapon and ammo type . there be a few new perk and such as well , but nothing too extremely different . I find I have a lot more bug in this game . not unworkable but much more than in Fallout 3 . the landscape be mostly desert , and not too impressive . they should have take a few tip from Red Dead Redemption in a South Western U.S. style landscape . Vegas be separate into different mini-town but except for one or two location , be not very impressive either . many of the cool little detail that make it fun to explore in Fallout 3 be miss here , with a few exception . overall , this give I the feel of a rush game . one they skip on detail with in order to get it out faster . the famous radio station be there , with the main one be Radio New Vegas . the famous Wayne Newton supply the voice this time . I think that would be a cool thing but compare to three dog , he be just not cut it . the radio music be not nearly as well plan as previously either and become annoying fairly fast -lrb- unless you be really into classic country -rrb- . all in all , it be a fun game but I would recommend wait till the price go down . +23 Video_Games POS 5 you have probably see how revolutionary Super Mario 64 be on the Nintendo 64 . well , imagine if the game be separate into minus planet , and you see Mario soar through the air as he be launch into the air . that , my friend , be Mario Galaxy . the game start out with Mario roam through a gorgeously detailed Mushroom Kingdom as he run to Peach 's Castle ... for cake . but then , guess what ? not only do Bowser kidnap Peach again . he kidnap Peach in a very epic cutscene ! unfortunately for Mario , a magikoopa send he fly into the galaxy , knock he out . now , the main game be play through very big and graphical 3d world bounce on Goombas , collect coin , and all kind of other stuff . but , like Super Mario 64 , you must collect Stars . collect enough Stars to be able to play in another world , or maybe have Mario tussle with Bowser . if you be to play the game , you 'll notice that everything , and I mean everything , be much , much deeper and more fun than I be describe it . the music be nothing like I have ever hear in a Mario game . I mean , seriously . once I play the game until after I beat the first Bowser boss , I be think `` oh , my god . these track be from a MARIO game ?? '' . the music also breathe air into the spacey atmosphere in the game . the one major complaint I have with this game be that the 2-player mode be stupid . there be almost nothing the second player can do to help the first player play through the game . sure , he\/she can collect Star Bits , launch they at enemy , and fling those ... rubber . . tree at enemy . but that be pretty much it . the second player do not even have his\/her own character -lrb- thanks , Mario Galaxy 2 -rrb- . but other than the 2-player mode , the game be amazing . it be one of the best Wii game you can buy . oh , and Spoiler Alert : Luigi be playable after you collect all 121 Stars , in case you do not know . +932 Video_Games POS 5 awesome , lot of content , great game , come with stand and 6 ar card . this game provide you with hour of diverse gameplay . at the beginning of each level you get to fit then you attack on the ground . you get to fuse weapon . this be the best 3d game ever ! +214 Video_Games POS 5 my son love 's it so much and so he friend , that almost all of they play with this headset allow they to play on ` silence ' mode and we do not hear a bit when he be play . +318 Video_Games POS 4 nice speed and gameplay overall . the only 2 con be the camera angle and some of the enviroment be not fully interactive . you can not enter all the building with each character . even with that though it be a great game and some level be extremely well match with the background music `` red hot mountain '' . I play this game for nearly three hour before realize how long I would be on it . deffinetly worth the time and money to pick this one up . +92 Video_Games POS 5 I love MADDEN NFL 07 . it have the best graphic I have ever see . when I play it , I could not put it down . the superstar hall of fame be pretty stupid though . the two minute drill be awesome ! I play the PACKERS v.s. the 49r . it work with 64 bit just in case . +497 Video_Games NEG 1 I get this for Christmas , and I be so excited . I have be wait to get this game for a while and add it to my wishlist . my boyfriend buy it for I and I be so happy . I have to wait until all of the family and friend leave because I know that if this game be anything like the Sims for the pc or any of the other Sims game for console that I be go to be play for hour on end ... sadly it be the opposite . the game give almost no instruction , make a character be very difficult with the option and lagging , the wius system sound like it be try to eat the disc through the entire game ! -lrb- I be scare it might break the wius ! -rrb- the house building option be terrible and you do not really get to build you own home . you can only build inside the four wall they give you . this game be nothing like the original . I be hope for a easier way to see what my Sim 's need be , but there be not . I have to pause the game to check constantly . when I enter the house after leave , the game stop to load every time ! when I try to read a book , the option be to `` read a book '' at random or `` open '' . after open I could move a book to my inventory or vice versa . so I have to move the book I want into the inventory . pause the screen to go to the inventory , and select the book . now I have to select the book in my Sim 's hand and tell they to read it ... way to much work . the lagging make I impatient . and finally the game motion give I a huge headache . I do enjoy control the Sim physically with the controller , but in the previous console game there be always the option to switch to the mode where you can build up a list of thing to do and you sim do they themselves . have to move each Sim all around be very annoying . if I could give this game no star I definately would . too bad my bf get rid of the reciept . I would sell this for 5 buck if that . crap . +377 Video_Games NEU 3 these controller be great but some require some work . I have bough 3 . 1 come perfect out of the box . 1 I have to open and realign the dpad and one of the shoulder button . 1 the right shoulder board be smaller than the place for it so I hot glue it into place . these work excellent but the manufacturing leave something to be desire . +221 Video_Games POS 5 Video gaming be one of my favorite activity to do in the lazy time of the day . I be a console stud by heart and have a deep love for the console game . it be for that very reason I be very skeptical work with a video game that only work via a mouse and keyboard . worst of all there be just so many people daily who seem to spam the hell out of other like I say '' get use to it , it be way better ! '' and while this could be consider with game that require keyboard and mouse use such as final fantasy\/etc when it come to game like first person shooter , you learn to grow a deep hate for the w , s , a , and d key . not to mention in the heat of the matter who want to reach halfway across they keyboard to tap r to reload , or hit u to talk , or n to switch weapon ?! I be a shooter by heart and game like Team Fortress 2 , leave 4 dead , Borderlands and call of duty it take much more than just skill master a keyboard . you break you finger on the pad and lose a lot of esteem work that way if you be not into it . it be why that when I have recieve this controller for say game I be in heaven . I have spend week attempt to master the game and even as I have grow use to they the fact have remain I be not a pc gamer . with the mad Catz xbox controller I feel like I have the control again and the edge . most of all I have a one up factor over even the console controller : a smoother compact feel , a more sensitive grip , and full access control map to give I the comfort on which button I feel better with . I will say I be deeply skeptical over get a controller for the pc just as much as play on it . for all I know I be get a piece of junk and that worried I . I be glad to say I have it all wrong and in the end I now have another new console to work with that will provide I another full year of entertainment . : -rrb- a few thing I should mention however about the controller that be not specify be that this be not a exact replica of the 360 's version . this be design to be more compact and the control to remain tighter as a group . the layout be design , in my opinion at the very least , more forward for quicker response and certain button be redesign larger for use of ease such as the left and right bumper . the biggest thing I should mention be the leave and right trigger which be make in a hook like mannor that when tap feel so much greater than the 360 version . the bonus side to all of this be that it do not just stop on the pc though . this controller can also work on you very console provide the same awesome control . a word of advice however to user who be play Team Fortress 2 : in order to gain the full function of you controller you must enter you option menu , go under the keyboard section , go into advanced option and click '' enable developer console '' upon return to the menu press the wave key '' ` '' and then enter on the command `` exec 360controller '' without the '' '' at which point you controller will auto tune to the original control feature on the 360 . for all other game the control easily adjust and can be tune . : -rrb- +337 Video_Games POS 4 I buy this as a gift for my 13 year old nephew . he say it be a lot of fun . he have download some different song for it too . say it be great for they whole family -lrb- and he be the youngest -rrb- - they all enjoy play and laugh together . would purchase again . +733 Video_Games POS 5 we upgrade to the 3d after the hinge break on we original ds . have a hard time find a decent replacement on eBay so try the use amazon route . get a good deal on a very decent use one . my son love it . better than he think he would . the 3d can be turn off . and the change control be not as much of a bother as he be worry they would be . +33 Video_Games POS 4 I love this game and its especially fun if you have a lot of people play with you . I have to admit I didnt think it would be such a work out but it be worth the price . one thing I dont like about the game be it do not have enough song . it do have a variety of song of all genre but I just feel like there could be more . the overall game be great though . +196 Video_Games POS 5 well , we buy this for we two son 's . one have xbox and the other have playstation3 . my ps3 son who be 25 say and I quote : `` it be dope and bad a$ $ '' I be guess this mean he like it a lot . my xbox son who be 23 say : `` this game be awesome '' now , my Wii husband who be 55 want one . they love the fact that you can play as the cop . so I guess that pretty much sum it up . +353 Video_Games POS 4 after play the previous CIV game this one be definitely different but if you go in expect something new it be definitely just as fun ! +62 Video_Games POS 5 I work at a desk in front of a computer all day . when I first begin my job I would notice that my eye be strain alot . after do quite a bit of research on computer glass for a person with 20\/20 vision , I find this company . they be found by the same guy that found Oakley . this be the only company I have come across that specialize in these type of glass . my experience with they have be perfect . they reduce the strain on my eye from the computer as well as the overhead light . at first it be a little bit strange wear glass and have to answer all the question about they but I have grow to love they and recommend they to anyone who be notice soreness or strain on they eye from stare at a computer screen ! you eye be well worth the $ $ when I notice my eye strain I will put they on and my eye instantly relax -lrb- very similar to the way sunglass work outdoors -rrb- , make it easier to focus for longer period of time and increase my productivity . +723 Video_Games POS 4 this be unique and fun . it be not a fast paced game but rather one that you can sit and ponder over - which be what make it both entertaining and relaxing at the same time . the graphic be sort of basic so do not expect any visual treat and despite what a previous reviewer have to say I find the music repetitious and bothersome . fortunately there be a option to turn it off while keep the audio game effect on . these be minimal issue since the game deliver when it come to a good puzzle - and that , after all , be the point . probably the only thing I would truly change be the fact that movement within the game be slow - transport from room to room be accompany by a unimpressive visual effect that take a boring several seconds while the player watch this repetitive scene each time they conduct the move . all this aside , for puzzle fan , this be a winner . +828 Video_Games POS 5 this be a ingenious little game device which offer something for everyone from the little toddler to the grandmother ! it be versatility be legendary with wide appeal ... the cheapest of the gaming offering by far ... yet with such enduring appeal and thousand of game to boot . allow network gaming where the game facilitate it . Nintendo have do well -lrb- though the 3d be a pointless last ditch attempt to milk the line -rrb- . with classic triumph arcade release eg Mario Kart & SuperMario Bros to General simulation game eg Nintendogs , Cooking mama , Art Academy , Cake Mania , Mario at the Olympic Games ... to brain game -lrb- for junior & senior alike -rrb- eg brain training I & II , Scrabble , Picross ... Strategy game : Hotel Dusk , Phoenix Wright Defense Attorney series , Animal Crossing ... adventure game : Zelda & the Phantom Hour Glass , etc music : elite beat agent , Rhythm Heaven , Jam session other mindless but thoroughly entertaining game ... best of all unlike the Wii remote which require battery to operate and be unwieldy to set up , the Nintendo d Lite be just a reach away and easily recharge . Perfect little pick I up relaxation in short spurt . still very much relevant and 5 star +391 Video_Games POS 5 it be true the server be down , but you have to give ea time to work out all the bug and glitch in the system . do not rate this game badly because of temporary server issue that will undoubtedly be fix in the near future along with the minor game glitch . the campaign be awesome and I be content to play that alone until the server be fix . +393 Video_Games POS 5 this game be really cartoony \/ arcade . Super fun though to have the Legend vs the New guy ... awesome animation ! much fun ! +640 Video_Games NEU 3 I have play many hour of Skyrim now over the last 2 and a half week . the game be fine for most of that time , until today when it just crash every time I attempt to save , or the game attempt to autosave as in fast travels or when enter different area . I really dislike the fact that I be force to install Steam and add some sort of online content , or `` update '' that be most likely to blame for my current situation with the game . I be run it with a few of the available mod , nothing that cause this problem I be certain . it have to be some update or something that I have no control over . at this point I can not continue the game , it be finish . so I be face with the question , . . do I return it for a refund ?? , ... do I uninstall it and try to start over , this time block any update that simply ruin the game ? I really wish this be just a old-fashioned stand alone game , without the online content steam crap . a game that I simply install on the drive of my choice and play . this could have be a great game , if it be actually playable to the end . my recommendation , ... DO not buy it now , wait until it be fix and actually playable to the end , maybe in a year or so ? +709 Video_Games POS 4 I know people get in a group & say use a mouse & keyboard its the way to go blah blah . yes it do take skill but after a while you get a pain in you hand . all the new game that be come out now have controller plug and play for pc . I couldnt not believe this game miss something so simple . +428 Video_Games POS 5 I only get this game cause my little cousin have it and he beg I to try it . the graphic be amazing and it be easy and fun to boot . I have always have a hard time with race game be too short , this one be not there be 32 + track and plenty to do . Multiplayer be fun ... blow into the mic if you do not want to lose in one hit ... I have to figure that out . also I have play every mario kart game to date and this be the best overall . save for Mario 64 d , this be one game to try on d . +27 Video_Games POS 5 the critic be all wrong . the game be amazing and help a lot to lose weight !!! do not pay attention to the review from the specialize journalist . we , the gamer , love it ! -lrb- ... -rrb- +125 Video_Games NEG 1 this be not a review of the game but the delivery system . they do research a while back and determine that online shopper be less likely to buy a product if they have to create a separate online account . with this game you can not even play a single player game without set up a online account with steam and then have to wait to start it up while it update . if I would have know about all this I would not have purchase . +865 Video_Games POS 5 roller coaster tycoon be a game that you build you own theme park . it might look boring , but once you start play it , it be very fun and creative . this game 's get lot 's of cool ride like corkscrew rollercoaster , inverted coaster , swine ship and gravitron and more . and there be lot of mild ride and shop like car ride , space ring , gift shop and pizza . this game be creative be because you can almost do what you want to do in this game . for example , you can make a vertical loop go through a vertical loop when you build a rollercoaster . but there be also some problem . you have only two kind of objective in this and that be makeing guest come two you park and increase park vaule . this might make the game boring but you have to accomplish these objective in different park situation . like you have lot trash in you park or something like that . I give this game 5 star because it , s very creative and with a little imagination you can build a park that even you be go to be suprised ! +127 Video_Games NEG 1 bf3 be a very generic shooter with up-to-date graphic and sound . single player mode be simply junk , multi-player mode lack all the feature that make , for example , bf2 so much fun : shooter combine with great teamwork , tactic and strategy . single player : you be a actor play a very rigid and linear script . you be tell all the time what to do , there be nothing to explore , no choice on how to perform you task . you simply need to follow the step by step direction , until you die , at which point you restart from a few step back . actually you do have some liberty : you can choose the order in which you can kill the enemy present to you . I can recall many game from 20 year ago , that would fit on a single floppy disk and that be much more exit . multi-player : I will compare it mostly with bf2 : there be no more teamwork . not at squad level and certainly not at team level . there be no more voip in game . if you plan to hook up with some random people in the game and play and chat for a couple hour in a squad , bad luck . it will be just plain silent shooting , and wonder what the squad mate do and think . no easy way to communicate . all weapon work very well at long range - so everything become a matter of discover the adversary at long range in the very cluttered environment . if you move , you will almost certainly be kill by someone hide somewhere . the map be very large , which mean that unless you play long hour you will be continuously confuse by you location and where you killer might be . there be no more commander ! so no more unity as a team , no more direction and unify strategy - at least not easily if you join a random server . no more asset such as radar , artilery , UAV . the user interface : again bf2 be mile ahead , simple easy to use , instantly understandable . bf3 : clutter , annoy in short , save you money ! if you like Bad Company 2 you might like this one as well , but if you be a bf2 fan for the reason enumerate in the first paragraph , than bf3 will be a waste of money . real waste , since of course one can not resell the game - it will become tie to you ea origin account . I certainly regret order it in advance , instead of wait for the first unbiased review . +633 Video_Games POS 5 we buy the d Lite for my 8 yr old son for christmas but we have so many game that we have play on there . good graphic and good size , I recommend this for anyone 8 and over . +427 Video_Games POS 5 it be exactly what I be hope for , very responsive button . . I use Nintendo Emulator\/Rom 's , and it be like I be back in the 80 's with this controller . +788 Video_Games POS 5 pokemon Crystal be so cool . on that game you get to choose a boy or a girl . now girl player do not have to be a boy . also the pokemon move in that game . so when you look at you pokemon , they be move . I think this be the coolest game . this be my review +708 Video_Games POS 5 this game be just plain awesome . the graphic be the best I have see on a xbox , teh single player mission be awesome , and you can play against the computer through Xbox LIVE or up to 4 player split screen - which be great for I and my roommate . I have trouble load it at first -lrb- get a red-x error -rrb- , but all you have to do be boot it with the controller pull out . then it load perfectly . its better than most $ 50 game and its only $ 30 !!! +775 Video_Games POS 5 if you have a XBOX 360 you have to own Halo 3 ! it be a incredible game both in game play and graphic . it be clear that XBOX want to make this the feature game just like Mario be for the Nintendo . the game be easy to play and have several difficulty level . I find the game challenge enough on the easiset level and be able to beat it even move up a level . however the most difficult level be just to hard for I -lrb- I be a very casual gamer -rrb- . this be my favorite out of the 3 halo , my only complaint be the game be too short . +655 Video_Games POS 4 I think this game be pretty fun . I buy the xbox version . there have be a couple of hang up in game play , and sometimes you character can get stick in place . it be not perfect , but there be a lot of quest and you can do side thing like alchemy , metal-smithing , etc. . the fighting be not as sensitive as other game of the same genre , but it be not bad . hint : save the game after you make you character -lrb- or be I the only person that have to re-make my character cos I do not save she first ?? -rrb- . and save often - you will not like how far back you have to go w the auto-save sometimes . +559 Video_Games POS 4 I buy this , it work great for literally 20 minute , then it stop work . manage to get it work again after mess around with the driver and now it work perfectly fine . for the hassle I go through to make it work , its worth the price , you just might have to play with it a bit to get it work . +129 Video_Games NEG 1 mass effect 3 be a very good game . it easily could have be the best in the series , if it do not fail so awfully in the last 10 minute . for such a minuscule percentage of the game , it be incredible how much it can ruin hundred of hour of fun span 3 game over 5 year . I really wish I could rate it higher , but I find it difficult if any thought I have of the mass effect series be about the end . to explain it without spoil anything , the final moment of the game make no sense , have nothing to do with anything you have do , and you final choice be very limit . that say , it be significantly likely the end do not actually happen , and be intend in it be current state , but because we do not know otherwise I can only review it at face value . if the extended cut validate that , this review will be a 5 star . +209 Video_Games POS 5 I have be play computer\/video game since 1980 , a long time . in that time I have go through all the console -lrb- except the turbo grafix 16 -rrb- and play ton of computer game . halo and halo 2 be great game . in both , there be thing to dislike . the first be too short and the level repeat . in the second the field of view seem a bit too tight . this game be great , it look great and run very fluidly . the game have perhaps the most annoying end ever for a game -lrb- it make I want to burn bungie studio down -rrb- . it have much better level design , and the ability to finally get to play as a elite . I have spend thousand of hour play Halo at LAN party with my friend and be have one -lrb- my first -rrb- for Halo 2 on Dec 4th . if you be in the Lacey area , drop I a line and swing on by . the multiplayer option for live need work , badly , but the game be so much fun to play with other that I can live with they . lot of people , especially fan boy for other system be go to bash the game , but if you have a xbox and like FPS game , then give Halo 2 a whirl . see you online , right before I kill you gamertag munkeeone feel free to add I to you friend list . +18 Video_Games NEU 3 first of all i didnt know it be a dvd rom when i first buy it and the bad thing be a have to buy a new computer really a lap top with a dvd rom but i hear that it have glich in it allot of glich and allot of bug so my friend have it since he have a dvd rom palyer and it be slow as hell but he cmputer be soo fast on other game like vice city and gta 3 its wire why be this game soo slow i only know its probally because its hell a lot bigger that the other gta put together ! graphic be good in it the gameplay be excellent and the sound be excellent you can put mp3 like cam ` ron and diplomat its fun when do that when just ride and listen to mp3 's graphic 8\/10 sound 10\/10 gameplay 10\/10 overall 9.3 i know i give it a 3 star but that because its a dvd rom player not a cd rom i know some people should be piss if they get this +639 Video_Games POS 4 as a electronically inclined college student who do review for store that sell this console , own one , and can actually afford to keep it interesting , I can tell you this much . the ps2 be a very advanced -lrb- consumer wise -rrb- gaming system that can keep the right person amuse for several hour . it do a little more than the other gaming system -lrb- for instance , it be dvd ready , play the game of it be predecessor , have both exensive brand name and not so expensive generic addition , and have a bigger and possibly better reputation -rrb- . it also tend to get costly , as do the other system . my point here be that while you can certainly just buy one of these system -lrb- ps2 , gamecube , xbox ... or even the new gameboy -rrb- you should make note of the other option . for example : most of these system will run for about the same amount . however , there be downside . the ps2 be dvd ready and the game ... well , there be more than you can shake a stick at . and if you buy they at the right time the price do not allow for buyer 's remorse . in this particular case I would have to say that if you have play with the original playstation and still have the game then the system be worth the cost . however Nintendo fan should know that the Gamecube have the right competative edge to go up against the ps2 . it be light , the game be on minidisc , the graphic be plenty better than the n64 , and the controller be pretty much a game player dream come true . yet the game be slightly limited and still a bit expensive . as for the xbox , I do not know all that much . I think I get too tired of microsoft computer game to bother purchase a separate console to play with . it be dvd ready like the ps2 . it have internal memory and networking capability and like I say I be a electronics kinda person . I just find it strange that I can buy a computer game for say $ 40 or I can purchase a gaome console for the same price that I pay for the ps2 and then go buy the game for that instead . as a odd little end note : I think that the Xbox 's controller be a tad awkward . it be rather like a morph version of a ps2 and Gamecube controller . after say 25 minute of play a game on it you hand might start to feel quite exhaust . the reason may have something to do with the overall shape . like I say ... morph version . +486 Video_Games POS 5 do not know much about the game myself , but my little boy love it , and that be good enough for I : -rrb- +774 Video_Games POS 5 the Starter Bundle make it quick and easy for those who already have a PS3 to get a idea of what move be about . depend on what you already have on you PS3 and of what\/how you be plan to play , all you may need could be just the move controller and nothing else or you may want to order some additional controller instead of this bundle . if you do not have a PS3 , then the PlayStation 3 320GB System with PlayStation move bundle what you get , what else you MAY NEED\/WANT briefly , this be what you get in with this bundle and I will make it very short because there be a lot of info . at the Amazon page : \* move controller , of course \* PlayStation Eye camera -lrb- must have for the move to work -rrb- \* Sports Champions -lrb- Ping Pong be simply awesome , some of the game play much better with a second controller -rrb- \* a disc with demo which should be available at the PSN store as well depend on how you be plan to play you game , this be what you do not get but may end up buy eventually : - one more additional move controller -lrb- some game will either require two controller or will play better with two -rrb- - Navigation Controller -lrb- s -rrb- -lrb- you can use the DualShock in you left hand but it feel weird -rrb- - one or more extra usb wire if you do not have enough already to charge you new controller -lrb- s -rrb- or - dedicate charger , especially if you have more than one move controller and\/or Navigation controller -lrb- s -rrb- go for the starter bundle or not ? the Motion Controller and the PS Eye be the minimum need to bring ` move ' to a any PS3 console . no exception . if you already have a PS Eye then the controller alone be the only purchase necessary . on the other hand , to fully enjoy certain game , you may want two move controller . this starter bundle make sense if you do not have the Eye already and you be into the type of game that Sports Champions have . you could still get it and then sell the Eye if you already have one . the same go for the Sports Champions . it come seal so you can sell it as ` new ' and recover some fund in the process . move 's motion controller the Wikipedia have a very thorough review of the technology inside the controller - impressive . it be probably worth go there to get a idea of what be under the hood . from a user 's point of view , the move could be view as approximately the right side of the DualShock 3 where the motion tracking function be the r3 analog stick , r1 be the move button and the r2 become the move 's t -lrb- rigger -rrb- . you also get the 4 square\/circle\/x \/ Triangle , in a square -lrb- not ` diamond ' -rrb- formation , the PS button as well as the START and SELECT . so far , the most used button during gameplay be the move and the t -lrb- rigger -rrb- . in addition , you get a wrist strap . at the opposite end of the microphone-shaped move there be a usb mini-b port for charge and another port that seem to be proprietary - must investigate . the controller be quite substantial as far as both size and weight - I like that and like its be shape in a way that make it easy to grab and hold . very much like a microphone or a very thick magic wand ; NOT a remote control . base on my experience so far , move 's ability to track you motion far surpass anything that I be aware of in the gaming universe . every single movement , up\/down , left\/right , toward\/away and wrist rotation be accurately capture and almost instantly reflect on the screen and so be acceleration that would usually translate as ` force ' in game such as sword fight or ping pong . in addition , there be haptic -lrb- tactile\/rumble -rrb- feedback , a little too weak in the game I play so far , make the gaming experience that much more realistic . I be not write a lot about the Eye camera because ... it be just there and it be not the subject of this review . for as long as it can see you , it simply do its part so that you may enjoy you game . the GAME Sports Champions consist of 6 separate event where you play through one of the available character either against the other character provide by the game or against another player - will need a second move controller for that . as expect , there be level of difficulty , medal and various bonus . ping pong show move 's nothing short of amazing ability to track its controller position in 3d space and , better , even detect move such as wrist rotation and to track acceleration as ` force ' and do it in real time . play Ping Pong be challenging , fun , frustrating and addictive . my entire arm , from wrist all the way up to the neck hurt already and I be not even do with the bronze medal challenge yet -lrb- almost there -rrb- . ARCHERY be probably second most popular , at least in we household . we like it because , unlike PING PONG , we do not sweat a lot while play it . ARCHERY be also one of the 3 include game that make it quite clear that you will be much better off with two Motion Controllers . some of the challenge look quite cheesy - shooting at float money bag but we have spend some time play it and it be likely that we be go to play some more in the future . the GLADIATOR sword fight game , even more than ARCHERY would benefit from two Motion Controllers - one for the sword\/axe and a second for a shield . with one controller only , you must pull the trigger to raise and use you shield or use the sword otherwise . yes , Sony give we button but the game be ten time more realistic when you actually push you shield forward the way you would actually do it in real life rather than pull the trigger to raise the shield and , at the same time push the move button while make a ` push ' motion . BOCCE ... ever play it ? I have a couple of time . Plays well with one controller but it can be a little boring . good simulation . FRISBEE golf be not bad . actually play it in real life on the course we have at the nearby state park . it be a little slow but it be good relaxation after you sweat yourself out on PING PONG or GLADIATOR . VOLLEYBALL , again , can be so much better with two Motion Controllers . also , be careful if you play in a room with low ceiling or anything that hang from the ceiling like a ceiling fan or a priceless crystal candelabrum . consider that Sports Champions be a early game , my expectation be not that high but , surprisingly , Ping Pong exceed my expectation . I have be play real Ping Pong ever since I be 11 or 12 so I probably know what I be talk about and the move version of Ping Pong be GOOD . as for the other ... sword fight , not so good . Archery be okay , Bocce be so-so , Frisbee Golf not too bad . for the game I have play so far , this be not a couch experience . on the Sports event I be sweating after a few minute and my move arm be now hurt from the wrist all the way up to the neck . MY RATING it be 5 star for the technical merit , ease of setup and for the overall experience . hopefully , lot of good game will be come quickly . +366 Video_Games POS 4 this game be a blast . if you like Dynasty warrior , you gonna love this game as well . you can customize you own character and play in historical mode . unlock player as you gain rice point and play they on story mode . awesome move set specially the one by Kunoichi . only thing that this game lack be graphic and wius remote and nunchaku controller be not really recommend to use on this game . classic controller be easier to use and make gameplay easier . overall , I strongly recommend this game and I guarantee high satisfaction you will get from this game . +648 Video_Games POS 5 cool game with fun combat . you control which direction you swing\/block in by move the mouse . you can play single player and raise a army , or multiplayer and test you medieval combat skill against other . Multiplayer game in this can get large , large public game be around 100 people . I have be in some private one where you march in formation and fight with musket with 250 player . generally you either play siege , one team attack , and one defend a castle , both team 's player respawn on death . or you play battle , which be you bread and butter one life per round team combat . even once you be tire of `` native '' there be lot of mod to choose from that will change the game , and give it a new breath of life . +883 Video_Games NEG 2 it may have the brand name , but it be fake . the button be hard to push aka soft . it be just overall low quality . it do work , the battery life also be low quality . Came here fast , and it still work . +345 Video_Games NEU 3 the connector make my ne run a bit better , but do not fix it 100 % . I still must wiggle my cartridge around and pull it about half way out before i can get the game to start . I think this be because the connector be not all the same , also there might be a difference in NES main board . the customer service from LukieGames , however , be excellent . I call with a problem and they help I out over the phone and send I a replacement for free with no question ask and great attitude . I will definitely be buy from LukieGames again . great people . +439 Video_Games POS 4 it be a amazing controller , especially since it have the best trigger and control pad , but I do not like how it be too light . I like some weight on my controller . however , it be perfect for those who with sweaty hand , since the grip be rugged enough to have a firm hold , and still be comfortable . not only that , it be incredibly responsive , and the clicking be a nice sound to hear , especially in a fighting game . it be perfect for those `` I know I press that BUTTON !!!! '' moment . I do get my package lose in the mail , but end up contact the company who give I a refund . end up buy the controller again , and this time get it ! awesome guy , and great product ! +16 Video_Games POS 5 I buy this for my son for Christmas . it come with a stylus with a stand alone Lego guy . great value . +917 Video_Games POS 5 i think that this game be a better output from capcom than some of they other game such as resident evil 5 this to I bring out something diffrent than all the other rpg that be be make to date . +408 Video_Games POS 5 this game can keep you occupy for awhile with the number of game it have on it . I find the shuffleboard , minus golf and pool to be the most enjoyable and the other game here be good as well . best of all the control be pretty simple . also the mini-golf be probably the best I have find out of any game because all the other try to get all fantasy and cutesy . +75 Video_Games NEU 3 as any metal Gear fan will tell you , the story and the way it be tell be just as important as anything in this game . and as the final chapter in solid Snake 's legacy , it function as the wrap up of all aspect of the story leave behind for about 20 year . and that be it be problem . after about 25 hour of sit back and listen to explanation that seem to be push into logic , I be not satisfy with my investment . it seem that the more I advance into the game , the less I play and even know how MGS game play out , I be still surprise at how little time I be get to actually have fun . I will not argue about production value or graphic and sound . this game look and sound above all else on the PS3 . but as a game , as something I would like to interact with and be a active participant in , it just do not fulfill my need . +25 Video_Games POS 5 ok , so i be a little skeptical about how well the fan in the xbox slim actually compare to the previous xbox . i be scare that the same old over heating problem would continue so i look into buy a cooler . now since ive learn not to tilt the xbox vertically and keep it horizontal , that it should be just fine . it do do fine , but i have my xbox in a entertainment center in a small compartment . so , just to make sure consistent and proper flow be circulate in my xbox i purchase this cooler . it do a reaaallllyy good job just make sure the flow continue . it continue to cool when the xbox turn off and be usually on for about a minute or 2 . after hour of use -lrb- movie or game -rrb- the xbox be still cool ! great buy . id buy again ! try it out if you have it in small , enclosed area just for proper circulation ! +192 Video_Games POS 5 the disc arrive in good working condition the kid age 5-20 all enjoy play the game . there be no case but do come in a small plastic d case which be perfect for take the game on the go . +725 Video_Games NEG 1 Stay far far away from this game . this be one of the worst mmorpg game I have play this decade . the UI be horrible , lag be bad , no auction house , can not invite someone into a party unless you stand next to he , wait 36 hour to do quest suck , no automatic battle so you have to spam the 1 key . I usually do not write any review for a game but this game be so bad that I wish it will die in 3 month just like apb mmorpg . +969 Video_Games POS 5 i have the original gta4 at first , but when i see this go on sale , i decide to splurge as well as use my promotional credit from before to grab this at a steal -lrb- around $ 16 -rrb- . even if it be at full price i would have still be happy come with gta4 , the lose and the damned , and the ballad of gay Tony , all on the one disc . the only trouble i can see be that each section need to be install on the PS3 . overall though , a great package . +293 Video_Games NEG 2 well i use they all the time love they but the head set be brand nue and i be have problem with it right out of the box the wire that plug in to the head set do not stay in the mount be sink in to far to receive the contact to get it to work so i shod send they back to get a another one i wish thy wer wire in or they can sell 2 model one wire one wireless for the x box 360 and that shod be battery shod be re charge they do not +222 Video_Games POS 5 this game be the best thing that come from the Dreamcast , aside from HOUSE of the dead . this be one of my main reason for get the Dreamcast . the graphic be awesome and the replay to this game be great . the second installment of the very popular arcade smash Soul Blade , have much better graphic than the first , very fluid fight , new character that rock -lrb- and also a surprise cameo by Tekken 's Yoshimitsu -rrb- . plus a lot of new weapon and fight style like a 3\/4 staff , a sword with a chain attach to it , the Shaolin sword style and even some reture favorite like the short sword and Samurai sword . this game rock ! I still play this game eventhough the Dreamcast be more or less no more . this be a great game , if yuou have a Dreamcast , you need this game . it be almost a requirement ! +407 Video_Games POS 5 have lose many hour of sleep playing this game . love the update of the franchise as far as the uus and gameplay go +626 Video_Games POS 4 this be a great game for the price , I do admit the 3d graphic be not all that , but it be a great game to play . I like the download play feature , my friend who also have a 3d , can select the `` Download Play '' icon on he 3d 's home screen and he can download a steel diver minus game and he can play with I . it be so much fun !!!! Gameplay be great in my opinion ! +484 Video_Games NEU 3 my girl be 3 and 5 and have a hard time with this game . there be several area that require skill above they . they do enjoy the other part of the game , but once they finish they do not really want to play again . +521 Video_Games POS 4 just Dance be a pretty fun game for you Wii . it be a much more entertaining way to exercise than walk , that be for sure . my only complaint be the limited song selection . it would be far more entertaining for far longer if there be more than 30 song to choose from . it get old pretty quickly . +686 Video_Games POS 5 this be not necessarily the best controller for pc gaming . the best one be the one that fit you hand the best . you may find this one too large . in which case , you can use smaller PlayStation controller , although the installation process there be tricky . if you have be use the wireless version of the Xbox controller a lot , this one be lighter because it do not have a battery pack -lrb- but it do have rumble -rrb- . also , if you shop around , you can find the white version if that be you thing , but it come at a premium because Microsoft apparently stop make they . you can also use a wireless controller if you get a adapter -lrb- also sell on Amazon -rrb- . I choose the wire one because I hate hassle with battery . I would also recommend check out the Logitech Rumble Gamepad f510 that one have programmable button and rumble that you can toggle . as far as physical engineering go , this controller be pretty good . it be arguably the best one you 'll find for the pc . it feel sturdy and it fit perfectly into medium-sized hand . there be two common drawback , however . first , one of the trigger will usually squeak . it be almost inevitable . the problem appear to be the spring inside the trigger , so it be pretty much impossible to fix without disassemble the unit . but some people do not notice the squeak at all , or only intermittently . the other problem be the mushy d-pad . however , this latter issue can be address with third-party accessory . on the bright side , the average 360 controller be extremely durable . I still have a pair of first-generation wireless controller -lrb- late 2005 -rrb- that work flawlessly despite frequent use . lastly , some game may `` lock out '' you mouse and keyboard if they recognize and prioritize the controller . Skyrim do this . it even change all the menu from kb -lrb- `` Press E to open '' -rrb- to Xbox button -lrb- `` Press A to open '' -rrb- . other game convert too . any title that use Microsoft 's `` Games for Windows '' brand will recognize the controller right away , as far as I know . -lrb- Games for Windows \* live \* be a different service -- basically like Steam . such title may or may not have the same degree of compatibility . -rrb- some game allow you to switch on-the-fly between mouse-and-keyboard and the controller . so you can do a fp section with kb+m , then pick up the controller if you need to do some racing or fly . the controller have a few flaw , but they can be address cheaply , or simply ignore . its sheer durability count for a lot , as do its broad compatibility with Windows game . +233 Video_Games POS 5 this be easily one of the best controller you can buy , period . it be comfortable and incredibly durable . I own one of the original model that Logitech have release for this controller , and it have serve I well for almost 5 year and have survive 2 move and countless drop . it finally die on I a couple month back , but consider the usage I get out of it and the abuse I put it through -lrb- I game a lot -rrb- I can hardly complain . I be ask for another one for Christmas from my friend , it be that great . I even pick up a ps2 to usb adapter and find it work just as well as a pc controller . the range on it be fantastic , I have use it from more than 30 ft away , through multiple room and it still work with pretty much 0 latency . if you need a solid , reliabe ps2 -lrb- or pc game controller , provide you pick up a Playstation 2 to PC usb Gamepad Converter I always try and buy Logitech peripheral when I can , and the success I have have with this controller be a good part of the reason why -lrb- and I have yet to be disappointed ! -rrb- . +394 Video_Games NEG 2 these headphone be great with the exception of a couple thing . 1 . they go through battery like you wouldnt believe . if you tv be close enough I would go with the wire . 2 . Mine do not work anymore and I be roughly 2 week over my return date for amazon . I can return they for half what I pay for they but seriously who want to do that . the problem with mine be you can barely hear any sound with they turn all the way up and other player voice go in and out . I have put new battery in it and it do not change anything . this item would probably be best buy at a store where you can do a even exchange if something like this come up . +638 Video_Games POS 5 I would say this look good ; it seem to be add a firework show feautre , and a major game downfall be no show outside of the cinema . it should be good . +11 Video_Games NEG 2 after play the game with my cousin and read the online review I would have to say that this game pretty much suck the big one . OMG , Bungie , what the hell be you think put this game out there after we , the buyer , have to wait 2 + yr to play . I mean do not get I wrong , the graphic , the voice-over and the weapon be awesome . but , the end ? come on now , I save up big time to get this and have pre-order month in advance to receive the `` game of the year '' please ! the original , Halo , beat this one in to . also , I do not like playing between the Convenant and as Master Chief . pick one side and stick with it . they should make it like this : First play as Master Chief then after beat the game as a human give the option to play as the convenant or maybe ... the Flood . oh , Bungie , if you be read this : make a end that the gamer will like and not one the blow . +296 Video_Games NEG 1 I have be pay for and play ea game for over two decade now . I be sick and tired of the larger publisher force these draconian measure to combat piracy on lawful pay customer . there have to be a better way . see Stardock 's Gamer 's Bill of Rights , please . no spore for this gamer . +544 Video_Games POS 5 these headset be the best one I have ever own in my life of play xbox 360 . they be sturdy , adjust to you head size , and even the mic adjust in length and closer or further from you mouth . there be no echo to the player in you party or game , and the sound from they be very loud and clear to hear . I 'll never buy any other headset again ! +249 Video_Games POS 5 I admit to be age 65 and love fairy tale , Candyland , etc. , which I play with my three daughter -lrb- all grow now -rrb- . I get Candyland in a Cheerios Box and send it to my granddaughter then buy another box and try it myself . I really love it as a relaxer and build the ice cream sundae be FUN ! you be never too old ! +485 Video_Games POS 5 I be not a gamer . I use to play game in the 80 's and Nintendo Super Mario be where I stop play game . I have a Dell XPS 17 3d and want to see what 3d game look like . I buy 4 game that be compatible with my 3d laptop and this game be one of they . I get the Xbox wireless controller which work with my laptop and load the game . WOW , gaming have change since back in the day . the graphic be amazing ; the game have a storyline and everything . it be like watch a movie unfold right before you eye . I realize the addictive nature of play these game . it be definitely entertaining and I must say , a bit violent . my nephew and he friend be at my house and I watch they play . they know the game and love the game . I try play it . what seem to be intuitive for my nephew and he friend -lrb- 18 and 19 year old -rrb- prove impossible for I . I just be not able to use the controller . I could hardly move my character ; forget about climb , shooting , grenade and all the other tip and trick . I have not play the game since , but whenever friend that play game come over , they play on my laptop and I enjoy the game as a spectator . +746 Video_Games NEU 3 the game might be worth 4 star out of 5 . for most people it be probably great . let 's start with the UI . it be okay . not great but okay . the kinect really kind require different menu 's than something like the Wii - option have to be bigger and they should not be close to each other since it be way to easy to select something wrong with it if they be . and the icon need to be self explanatory . unfortunately this program do not follow those guideline very well . the UI be perfectly serviceable after you get use to it , do not get I wrong ... but be ready to select a lot of thing wrong until then use the Kinect . onto the workout . they be not too bad . I be okay with they and I be certain that the person that this title be aim at will be very tired when get do with a session . on the other hand I have be do daily workout with the Wii Fit for three year , ea Sports active for about 1.5 year and the gym for a year . I be not in that category and so I barely sweat ... at least as far as the program have go so far - it may very well get harder as I go . on the other hand , I love the tech - the body scan be useful . and the ability to control the program as you be work out with you voice be just plain cool . the program offer good feedback as you work out that be appropriate to the movement you be make . so for the right person this be a 4\/5 star . for I it be a 3\/5 . +581 Video_Games POS 4 this game be a lot of fun ! I love that I can get people to dance even if there be not enough controller . a group of we be play for hour ! I love that it be like I be work out by dancing on the Wii . +823 Video_Games POS 5 the redesign Nintendo d , now the d Lite , be a great little piece of machinery ! it keep all of the unique and fun possibility of the original d while fix many of the earlier unit 's problem . the screen be brighter , the button lay out better , the stylus more comfortable and the whole system size , weight and shape fit better in you hand now . the only downside be that GameBoy Advance game cartridge stick out a little bit at the bottom , but this be acceptable when you consider how much smaller the system be now . add to all that the great and creative game that keep come out for this system and the budget price -lrb- both for the system and the game -rrb- compare to the psp competition and you can not go wrong with this purchase ! some of the better game to take note of : New Super Mario Brothers , Castlevania : dawn of sorrow , sonic rush , Trauma Center : under the Knife , Kirby : Canvas Curse , Brain Age and many more ! get this system !!! +910 Video_Games NEG 1 the DRM be insane . I can not even install the game to play on separate account on the same computer . they need to offer a family pack or something similar . I do not mind ` rent ' a game if the DRM scheme be reasonable but what be use for spore make it very family unfriendly . +773 Video_Games POS 5 pro : really great game . it have a really different art style that be interesting . the plot make sense . and the game of the year edition come with a map , -lrb- which isnt really helpful , but on the other side be a poster -rrb- all addon for the game and beta access to Duke Nukem : forever -lrb- which I havnt try -rrb- . the game style be kind of interesting , it be a different spin on rpg . when you think of rpg , you think of Zelda , those kind of game . but it be really a first person Shooter , mix with a role play game . also , there be over 1 million different gun . you 'll never find the same gun twice . when you find a better one , you just keep it and sell you old one . con : not enough ammo , it seem like there just be not ever enough ammo . I guess it just make the game more interesting . I guess that be not really a con . this game be a must buy if you friend have it . even if they do not , still I would highly recommend it . +594 Video_Games POS 4 it be a little confusing at first , but I do not read direction so that my fault . if you have a metal case for you dsus it will not fit in unless you take it off . +431 Video_Games POS 5 my first thought the build quality be very nice . the sound in black op . bad company2 . etc. . in one word ... excellent . if you be look for sound cue to get the jump on other in a game , these heads-phone work great . test with a movie as well , also very good ... have not try they with music . overall I recommend they highly , the price be very good for the quality . no problem so far . . +108 Video_Games NEG 2 I be very excite to try out this new game because I love Zumba class ! they do not always fit into my schedule , though , so I think I would give this a try so that I could dance when I have time . this game be not fun at all . normally , at least in the class I have be to , instructor try to incorporate some modern music into the dance session . this have only that moroccan style music mix in with some variation of a couple basic salsa move . I have a very difficult time get motivate by the game and end up just quit because it be so boring . what I be get at here , be spend you money go to a real Zumba class or buy a dance workout on dvd . this be not worth the price !! +239 Video_Games POS 5 I have be play this game for a couple hour after pick it up at Walmart . the bundle come with Sports Champions game , move controller , PS eye , and a demo disk of some other move title . it be all easy to set up . the game on Sports Champions be very fun . Table tennis be a blast , and I still can not believe the accuracy of the move . put spin on the ball be a blast and I love how you can hit it soft or hard . disk Golf , Archery , and Gladiator duel be the only other game on Sports Champions I try , but they be all fun . I have two move controller , and play Gladiator duel and Archery be a blast . after 15 minute of Gladiator duel I be sweating big time . the Shoot be include on the demo disk and I enjoy it , I 'll pick it up when it hit store in October . the move be way more accurate than the Wii , which bring in more fun . it be also nice to have hd graphic , that be another thing that I hate with the Wii . yes it be a little more money than a Wii , but it be worth it and its just a better product . if you be on the fence about this or you love Wii , go pick this up . very fun ! +120 Video_Games POS 4 my 6 year old daughter enjoy this game . both she 4 year old sister and she 78 year old grandmother have play it . they have fun with it and it teach they step by step how to draw different thing . +628 Video_Games NEU 3 get the old white and gray one not in original packaging . not go to make a big fuss over it because i pay less than half the price I would have pay at a store and it be new . +95 Video_Games POS 4 this game be awesome and if I would have actually pay full price for it ... it still would have be underprice in my opinion . obviously this be one of those game that if you not into rpg 's you might not like it , but at the same time if you simply new to RPG 's and enjoy fp ' then this be a great game for you to get start with . story : without spoil anything I will just say this . the story be well write and play out very nicely . also the freedom to sort of `` direct '' you conversation and certain action that you take make the replay value of this game fairly high . you can pursue a romantic interest with ally or keep it all professional . you have the chance to win over the loyalty of you teammate but you can fail and some of the situation 's that involve gain ally `` loyalty '' may cause you player reputation to look bad , but you have full control over the path you take . Gameplay : it may take some get use to , but it be very easy to learn the control . the player movement be pretty smooth imo and the aus -lrb- you ally -rrb- do a pretty decent job during combat situation . -lrb- some character be better than other but the longer the game go on the more ally you get to choose from -rrb- . overall I give this game a 4\/5 -lrb- really a 4.5 -rrb- instead of a 5 only because the character interaction get a little repetitive after a while . -lrb- during the game while not on a mission you can go talk to various character , but most usually repeat the same thing over and over again until you have complete certain mission -rrb- . would recommend this game to everyone who enjoy a good shooter and the fact that it be RPG make it better since the storyline be so extensive . +656 Video_Games POS 5 seriously , people , if you have a irrational hate for steam or be too dumb to use it properly - why do you keep buy the game base on it ? the information about this game use Steamworks be available long before , anybody willing could research it easily before buy this game . why do you have to show you own stupidity\/laziness by announce that you find out about this game 's Steamworks usage only AFTER buy this game ? for the record , I have be use Steam service since it be beta stage , on multiple pc -lrb- both windows-based and macos-based -rrb- , I have close to 200 title purchase through it , and I have never , ever have experience any kind of issue when use it almost every day , same go for 100 's of 1000 's of other user . have you ever give a slightest thought that if majority of people be use this service successfully that the problem that you be have be cause by the `` thing '' located between the chair and the keyboard , and not the valve software ? and before you try to critique steam further - guess what ? buy this particular game directly through steam be the only way to ensure that the game you be buy be not tamper with and you would get exactly what be advertise before the actual sale . not like with Amazon 's physical copy of `` augmented edition '' pc version of this game , where they be advertise of have a `` bonus code '' for `` Tactical Pack '' , but do not actually include any of such code -lrb- read up the product discussion board for this particular version of the game -rrb- , or like with GameStop 's physical copy of this game , which be tamper with by GameStop -lrb- Google it , the GameStop have officially admit that they intentionally remove a certain `` bonus code '' from the box of this game before reseal the box and sell they as `` new '' to all the customer -rrb- . because of such issue , this -lrb- hopefully -rrb- will be the last game I 'll ever purchase in physical form , all of my future game will be purchase through digital distribution service , be it either Steam , ea 's origin or something else . as for the game itself , so far I like it -lrb- and I really , REALLY love the original Deus ex and absolutely hate the sequel and other game that attempt the emulate the same experience\/gameplay type -rrb- . I would say it be still not as immersing as the original `` Deus ex '' , but it be a very faithful reproduction of it -lrb- the best one so far -rrb- when it come to write storyline , environment design , sound design and other various gameplay element -lrb- such as inventory system , the HUD , the weapon system , the `` alternative level progression path '' and so on -rrb- and a very `` polish '' -lrb- in term of the game 's stability\/performance\/bugs issue -rrb- overall product . exclude the issue with the `` bonus code '' I would say it be well worth its price . for people who also like this game , especially for its storyline\/settings , I would also recommend read the related fiction book , `` Deus ex : Icarus effect '' , which storyline happen in the same `` universe '' , start a little bit earlier in timeline than this game and involve different `` main character '' , though also include the one that you 'll see\/meet in this game -lrb- for example all of the mercenary character that participate in the initial attack on Sarif Industries lab -rrb- . +612 Video_Games POS 5 I be first disappointed because I have really high expectation and after my first workout I be already have the issue with the workout not register . well , after work out a handful of time , I do not have any of the issue any more . here be my advice before you get frustrated and start berate the game : - make sure the arm band be on the right direction -lrb- it do not work well upside down -rrb- . - make sure the sensor be face correctly : the leg face forward , and the arm face outward . - make sure the arm sensor be not behind you arm . - find the most responsive distance from the television ... mine work best when I be about 5-8 foot from it . - hold the wiimote when you be do band exercise . - use good form . after do the exercise a few time , you 'll know the best form . I never think I could have this much fun work out in my living room . I start yell and cuss when I have to do a lot of jump squat right after the linebacker challenge -lrb- right after lunge haha -rrb- ... this be a real workout . I love sport and I love football , so I guess I be bias toward the game . but now it be really easy to burn 250 calorie in 30 minute and mix strenth training in . I combine this with lifting weight in my garage right afterwards , and I be get in way better shape than when I use to just run and lift . go ea ! +658 Video_Games POS 5 buy this for my 3-year old who be a sonic fan and he love it . the include game be good , the quality of the unit be fine and the implementation be do as well as can be expect . the emulation do deliver lower sound quality , but it be a fair trade-off for smooth performance and good battery life . +834 Video_Games NEU 3 the good : its Crazy taxi on psp ! fast arcadey gameplay , decent music , custom soundtrack , nice unlockable , multiplayer mode be super fun the Bad : ... not a new cr , single player will bear you after a while , graphic be not too swift , voice be annoy well Crazy taxi 1 and 2 arrive on the psp with smooth result . the gameplay be fast and just what you expect from Crazy taxi but if you be not a big fan then this game will bear you after a while . the game be simple : pick people up and drive they to they destination before the time run out . that be really all there be . yes you can bash into car and drive underwater but that do not save cr from get boring fast . the voice be really annoying but the music be pretty good and custom soundtrack be a great plus here . the multiplayer mode be what make the game really fun . I would not buy this game but a weekend rental would not hurt . +647 Video_Games POS 4 this game so copy off of nintendog . it make I angry !!!! I be sure it be a fun game put they be try to copy nintendog ! but i be sure they make it for people who cant have a nintendo ds but still , it make I mad . sure u can be a character and see yourself in it but in nintendog , its a real person with the dog , you +176 Video_Games NEG 2 I be probably you semi-average person who have end up buy this game ... someone who be have not be exercise in a while , but be not horribly out of shape either . I hate go to the gym -lrb- take too much time to drive there & back , wait for equipment to be free , etc -rrb- and so I be look for a way to get some exercise at home . I be not expect too much out of the work out since I do not have any weight or equipment at home . what I want be something to help guide I through a exercise plan and help motivate I to do they on a regular basis . pro : be that I be end up get a better work out then I expect , but I have to push a bit harder then the in game coaching would indicate so I guess I should change the difficulty from medium to hard . there be a fair bit of diversity in the exercise , but you will often end up do the same exercise in a single session . overall a decent mix . the in game coaching be pretty good . give good tip on proper form and some motivation . I be actually surprised how un-cheesy it end up be overall . obviously not as good as work out with a personal trainer at the gym , but it be really hard to fault they at all here . con : the tracking be really really bad at time . there be time I be stand absolutely still and it show I do reps. WTF ? there be exercise which require big movement and it tell I it be wait for I to start . it be really frustrating since sometimes it work great and the next day it be horrible . once I decide to do all the exercise session all over again since I want to push harder only to quit because the tracking go from great to a drunken merry-go-round in 5 minute . there be a lot of little nit-pick I could do , like when it tell you to get some water and then do not give you \* any \* extra time to walk the 3 foot and take a sip . or how the menu system be really slow . start the game be slow . the whole point of console game be suppose to be you insert the disk and go ! but easa2 for some reason have the worst menu system I have ever see in a PS3 game and it hurt my enthusiasm every time I start a work out because I be constantly wait for the screen to refresh . not to mention the stupid load screen between each and every exercise . you can not tell I the PS3 do not have enough horsepower to load the next exercise in the background and they could easily add a `` next up : xxxxx '' scroll on the screen to let you know what be next without make you stand there with nothing to do other then pick you nose . there be other issue with the game you 'll hear about if you read other review here on Amazon - they be all true . and that be the real problem with the game , the in game coach do a pretty good job of motivate you and they seem to have do a good job come up with a exercise plan , but the game itself be so flaw that you actually do not want to use it . actually , if I could just turn off the tracking other then the heart rate monitor and just follow along on my own , it would actually be pretty decent and I would find myself want to exercise with easa2 rather then drag my foot and miss schedule workout because I loath it so much . that say , I use to do muay Thai so I 'll probably give the fight : light out a try . +37 Video_Games POS 4 I see this item and think it be the best option from the rest . it be a bit more expensive than the other but it have all the thing you can ask for . also , there be other alternative but they cost about the same price but have less feature so this be probably the best thing to get . it hold you ps3 slim pretty good and do not take up much room . I do not know why people be complain that you can only charge two move wand controller and not four . that be why they add the extra four usb port so you can use the usb cable to charge the rest of you move . overall , the charge station work great . great buy and I recommend it to everyone for now . +796 Video_Games NEG 1 in many respects this sim be inferior to fs2004 . the frame rate be terrible and the aircraft viewpoint too fussy to get to quickly . anyone with fs2004 and with good add on scenery I would advise to stay with it . my computer be state of the art with dual core pcu , Nvidea 7900GT graphic . over New York in fs2004 with all slider max out I get over 35 fp , with FSX I get 7 fp . with slider at normal and a slide show . I have since uninstalled my FSX and return to fs2004 . +478 Video_Games NEU 3 hello all , I be amaze when oblivion come out and be instantly hook . when I hear Skyrim be be next , I could not wait . the good : I really like the new way the character level up . there be no need to go to extreme any more to gain level in specific area . in Skyrim , you can choose you perk base on what you want out of the character . the playing area be massive - it be a open -lrb- non-linear -rrb- game in which you can choose to do what you want , when you want . there be many other thing that be great about the game , but they have be post on already . the Bad : I have two big qualm with this game . first , there be too many bug . I know , with a game this massive , there be bind to be bug . but it be unacceptable when one build up a character with hundred of hour invest , only to find out some of the main quest can not be complete because of one bug or another . three time , I have play this out to a level 50-70 character . and each time , I can not complete all the quest - some be very important one - due to bug . in a multi-million dollar revenue-generating program , this should not happen . the second issue be the number of time the game lock up and I have to reset the console - many time , it will lock up at the same point over and over until I do something different -lrb- travel another direction , get into a combat -rrb- , then I can get by the point where the game lock up . I think maybe the game be take the xbox 360 to its limit , stress the console until it just can not handle it any more . sure , I can make save every couple of minute so I do not have to retrace my step so much when I have to re-start the sxbox , but I should not have to - not this much . the game be a 6-star game -lrb- out of 5 star -rrb- , but the bug and restart bring it down to three star due to the frustration factor . to be fair , most game would be toss out with these issue , but Skyrim be so good , I put up with they - at least for a while . after three or four restart , I give up for a while and go back to my real life . if you be look to buy this game , it be a wonderful game , but be aware of the issue you will have to contend with . Jim -lrb- edit to fix a couple of typo -rrb- +414 Video_Games POS 5 so far the cable be still work . since my tv break , I want to hookup my xbox to my desktop monitor and my desktop speaker . this package be perfect for a monitor setup if you want to use VGA . what I be very glad to see what come with the package be the little adapter that you hook up to connect you audio from the xbox to the input of any external speaker . Perfect buy . +671 Video_Games NEG 2 on a whim I pick this up year ago and enjoy it , although it be a bit easier on the difficulty-side , a little more frustrating , and much slower paced than its origin , I neglect these petty and trivial complaint at the time . unfortunately it come back to haunt I , as I feel severely underwhelm by my first few minute back in it once again . `` oh look ! its a game that could never have stand on its own without the original and actually look worse now -lrb- due to that new fangled 3d engine at the time do not age so well after window 98 era hardware -rrb- than the first freaking game . '' basically if you love the series to death - pick it up for sure . however , if you realize that the spark of ingenuity , originality , humor and atmosphere -lrb- which be all coincidentally miss from the sequel -rrb- have suddenly wander off with old age - do not bother . in fact just keep sign useless petition for another sequel that ea will never make as its not a cash-cow IP these day and never be . +766 Video_Games NEG 2 I buy this game -lrb- pc version -rrb- for the purpose of play the single version . I do pre-order and receive the game at $ 49 . even at this price it be not worth it for less than 6 hour of game play . I be sure I be in the minority as most people buy this game for the on line experience . with slow internet I do not play on line . you experience play on line may or may not justify what you pay for it , but from a single player perspective it be not worth the price I pay . you would think that there would be more mission , longer game play -lrb- for example half life 2 ?? might be stretch it , my not be practical , though you might get my idea -rrb- . I be probably not the one to comment about on line play , but at least I would think you experience would be different each time vs other on line player even though you may be limit by the number of map . single player in these type of game I know do not leave you much in imaginative way to fight the enemy . you be pretty much assign to the aus of the game . I be 55 year old and maybe a little old school on what I think something be worth but I do not understand why game developer can not add more content to the single player side of the house . even though game have get better over the year -lrb- graphic , sound , etc -rrb- the length of a game seem to have get shorter in some instance . in my naivety I think I be get the extra map in my pre-order version but find out they be for the on line game only . then again maybe I miss something in the description of the game . this game in single version would probably be worth $ 29.95 to I -lrb- probably should have wait -rrb- . not a `` bad '' game to play -lrb- Graphics , sound , AI be good -rrb- but I feel price be start to get carry away and this game be not worth $ 50 - $ 60 in my opinion . +990 Video_Games POS 5 I know every one be try to move away from wire controller , but I have to tell you , own this one be just too cool . I use it almost constantly , and , in the spirit of `` Tron '' I use it the entire time I be play the game . the controller be of the quality one would expect from XBox , and the light make a great conversation piece when you friend come over for game day . as for the game `` Tron : Legacy '' , well ... I would give it a 8 out of 10 . although I will be leave a review of the game when I purchase it , -lrb- I use Gamefly for my rental -rrb- I will leave some quick feedback here as well . the graphic be awesome , the control be simple enough to master , and the puzzle be engage , and yes , sometimes even a little frustrating . the most glaring fault with the game be all the jump . thankfully , fall to you death do not set you back to badly . although some of the jump be a aggravation when try to master they . and those be only the one that require flawless execution . as a long time fan of `` Tron '' and the original arcade game -lrb- which I would own if I could find one -rrb- I find that the new movie and corresponding game stay true to the spirit of the original movie . one of the few game I have find that do not suck after see the movie , and the controller just add to the legacy . a must have for collector ! +609 Video_Games POS 5 this game be great ! my mom do not care for it but you could do anything you want like cast spell , buy item , travel to diffrent place -lrb- which be awesome cuz you get a huge map ! -rrb- kill people , eat food , join guild , make friend , choose and create you own charcter from diffrent race , and more ! I would consider buy this game if you do not have it -lrb- but i would recommend the game of the year edtion because it have expansion pack not say this one be bad or anything but the other one have more place and no more blurry road -rrb- but mine keep freezing so i have to save frequently but i just think its either my game disc or my xbox . +635 Video_Games NEG 1 this seem to be a decent headset at first with only minor audio glitch occasionally . however I wind up go through battery every 4 or 5 gaming session which be just far too often and wasteful if you be too lazy to manage rechargeable . on top of that it be not turn on at all , after only a couple month of casual use . incase anyone know how to fix it it will not turn on but the battery heat up a lot +78 Video_Games NEG 1 that be pretty much it . the game have steam and steam require broadband .

Bowling be by far my favorite . I be curious to see how well the Brunswick Bowling game will be when it come out in March 2011 . +404 Video_Games NEG 1 I want to get this one . but I see the experience of people with the DRM embedded in this product . thank you very much to all of they ! they surely save I a good bunch of buck throw in this badly developed product . no way I be gonna buy anything have this kind of `` feature '' . no way I be gonna buy C&C; : ra3 unless ea strip it of all DRM protection and stuff . I choose to stay free ... +42 Video_Games NEU 3 the game have mindless violence with very little fear factor in it . better off play other game . the story could have be better . +953 Video_Games NEG 1 I think this game need a ladder to get above one level to Crap . +673 Video_Games POS 4 I have a 6 year old and she can dance to this . you only need a Wii remote per player up to 4 , no dance pad need . it be easy to do & fun . very basic & it be a good workout . +976 Video_Games POS 5 this be one of the first game my granddaughter play on she new d 3d . she really enjoy it . the game do respond a little slowly to voice command . overall she really enjoy the 3d feature . +644 Video_Games POS 5 every Wii owner should own at LEAST one of these . I beat have to buy Wii motion plus attachment for every controller you buy , and they do not get extra long and heavy\/stupid look . the speaker work great and be very loud if you need it to be . consider a vast amount of great game use motion plus , like skyward sword and Wii Sports Resort , this be a must have . +101 Video_Games NEU 3 the Wii controller and nunchuck combo be more than what I expect . excellent condition and a awesome price . will defenitely order from buyer and reccommend the site to other . +872 Video_Games POS 4 it be nice to have this game again .

I really love this game : d +49 Video_Games NEG 2 I receive this game as a gift and find it to be time consuming but not that great . First off , you have to go back to board you have already be to like a hundred time , which really eat my patience ... secondly it be a bit vague as to which way i be suppose to go and how to get there . it be ok if you like a loooonnng game , but i be more of the super mario brother type ... +227 Video_Games POS 4 this game be one of the funnest game i ever play konamus co. it be a 3rd person view game that you need alot of stratigie to beat . its challenging and keep u there for hour . however i do have a complaint ... . . as soon as u beat the game on campain u want to play online ... . so i beat it and i want to move foward so i go online and i need to laod a couple of file it take a day and a half to do it and plus my ps3 be go to over heat . then when that be over i play and it be very difficult to play and level up . i think to level up u need to be play for a certain amount of time and not expirence . i think this be stupid cuz u need to stay on for like 15 hour to level up . and also u need to pay for alot of money for extra feature . but wat i thought be cool be u can make ur own guy online and make he look `` pimp '' . but sometimes u need to pay . so i enjoy the campaign not the online . hope u have fun either way ! sorry for miss spelling in a rush peace +317 Video_Games NEG 2 a couple hour in and every mission be : 1 follow-the-npc 2 feel identical -lrb- shoot the pop-up bad guy ... ohh but now it be daytime ! ooh now it be night ! ooh now they be behind car ! ooh now the ` yre behind fuel barrel ! -rrb- there be ZERO A.I. -- its all predictable and robotic . 3 I be constantly think `` do not die , or you 'll have to sit through that awful script set-piece intro again ! '' because anytime you die , you have to sit through the npc 's idiotic dialog . -lrb- this be write by the Red Dawn guy ? no wonder he hasnt do anything else since the mid 80s ... -rrb- 4 you be force to wait for npc to catch up , you gun and ability to move be strip away routinely , multiple time per level , even in the MIDDLE of GUN battle 5 there be a escort mission to protect a INANIMATE OBJECT ! 6 Said inanimate object be some sort of amazing battle machine , comedically nonsensical for any suburban rebel force to have the capacity to equip or maintain . 7 I hate that the crouch\/duck button be not toggle-able . it be more like watch a interactive movie -- a lame one -- which occasionally let you participate in it . I be literally typing this while the game continue to run its course without I . +826 Video_Games POS 4 I should start off this review by say Gears 3 be my first Gears title and , after complete it , it most definitely will not be my last . I also should add I be a huge sci-fus shooter fan -lrb- since the Halo day , or at least the beginning of Halo day since Halo 4 be right around the corner -rrb- , so Gears of War 3 be right down my alley , and yet I do not leave the game after I beat it with the same sense of awe and wonder I feel after Halo 1-3 . Gears 3 be certainly good , one of the best look game on the xbox 360 and the end boss and cutscene really cement my appreciation for this title , but the gameplay and control feel clunky , almost as if they be themselves grind away and heavily burden like the character ' suit . the charging\/run feature be odd to I , since you hunker down in a crouch and the screen become slightly warped - and there do not seem to be a exact direction except in a very general sense when you try to run one way or the other . the voice acting be atrocious most of the time , save for the always amazing Claudia Black -lrb- who have a somewhat limited role in comparison to that of she Chloe counterpart in uncharted 2 -rrb- . the story itself be equally typical save-the-world-from-infestation schlock and unique , and - as I previously mention - the end leave I with appreciation , but , again , not in the same way other sci-fi shooter have -lrb- under-appreciated lose planet 2 , one of my fave of 2010 , include -rrb- . overall , I recommend pick up a copy of Gears of War 3 as obviously it be a good game that diehard Gears fan love , but for a newbie like I perhaps a Gears 4 will merit whether I love it or leave it . +52 Video_Games POS 5 isnt it kinda wierd that the graphic be better than on ps2 yeah i think so it be a great game read a 5 star review it be probably about all i ahve to say +646 Video_Games POS 5 note - I be post my review on both product page of this game since Amazon have it list on two separate page . after demo some of the other Mystery Case Files game , and find out that they be search-and-find game , slightly like I spy , I decide that they be not really for I . but after hear that this game have slightly more of a adventure game feel to it , I decide to buy it and give it a go . this be be breakdown of the game : Story - you be drive in you car when a snowstorm keep you from go on . you get out to try to find a phone , but instead you find a abandon car with a VHS in it . you watch the VHS and see a terrify girl try to escape something . you set out to find this girl and see if she can help you , but you discover a much more sinister mystery while look for she ... Gameplay - The gameplay be so unique in this game , and it be SO fun . most of the time , it be a third person adventure game that have you go around solve puzzle , collect item , and use these item to interact with other item . however , there be also search-and-find scene throughout the game that have you find 12 object in a picture -lrb- no time limit -rrb- and keep one of those item to put in you inventory . there be quite a few of these , make the game a great mixture of both style of game . and there be even a few horror element in the game , too , as there be a few pop-out that may startle you , but they probably will not give you nightmare . as a final note , there be also more VHS tape to find and collect throughout the game that help the story move along , and this be a nice part of the gameplay . Graphics - The graphic for the most part be really well do . they be kind of a realistic\/cartoon\/3d fusion , which sound really weird , but let I just say that be be awesome to look at . the VHS tape , however , be act out by real people , and this be not really part of graphic , but it be a great part of the game . the video be chill , and the actor act out the story so well ; it be almost like watch a movie . sound - the sound be chill . you might hear a footstep behind you , or a whisper , and they be very good indeed . the music be very enjoyable to listen to . it be tense , sad , and spooky all at the same time . there be not really voice act except for the actor in the VHS tape , and like I say , that be wonderful . fun - this game get addicting more towards the middle , but the beginning be definitely not a disappointment . the fact that it be a combination of hidden object casual gaming and mysterious adventure gaming make it a extremely interesting and fun game . replay factor - there be definitely replay value in this game as the hidden object in this game be constantly change , so each time you play the game again , you have new object to find . the story be interesting enough to play again , as well . overall , this be one of the best game I have ever play due to the fact of the fusion of style that this game have . it be definitely worth a try even if you have not be a fan of the earlier mcf game , and I highly recommend this game . +384 Video_Games POS 4 the Nintendo Wii be not a friendly environment for first person shooter which be a shame because the Wiimote\/Nanchuk be a awesome substitute for the mouse\/keyboard combo . no , the main problem be that FPS 's tend to push system to they limit and the fact of the matter be that compare to compete system the Wii be a wimpy little girl at polygon push . I be play FPS 's on the pc well over a half decade ago with better graphic than the latest Goldeneye and a game like call of duty on xbox or PS3 look so much better and run so much smoother which be why I tend to stick to game within the Wii 's graphical capability like Punch out and Mario Kart . Goldeneye be a excellent fp compare to other on the Wii but compare to cod4 : Modern Warfare on Xbox it be quite ugly . the big question be why Goldeneye . Goldeneye be one of the most ground breaking first person shooter ever and a game that I put many MANY hour into . it be also by far the best Pierce Brosnan Bond movie . this Goldeneye be a re-imagining of the movie radically change the story . the character name remain the same -lrb- Orumov , Trevelyan , Simonova -rrb- but they be completely change and unrecognizable from the original character and none of the change be improvement . Onatopp , for instance look like Cruella Deville in a pimp costume and sadly Boris Grishenko be completely jettison . the plot be change so that bond appear in all the event of the story for instance bond be at Severnaya when the Goldeneye blast hit . in order to get Bond there the writer include a full attack on the Severnaya base by russian soldier under Orumov 's order . the Severnaya guard send out a alert pick up by mi6 who then send bond to investigate . this do not make sense on several level . First of all the whole point of steal the EMP resistant helicopter be so that Orumov could draw as little attention to himself as possible as he steal the Goldeneye code from the almost completely unguarded research station . have this massive assault make the Tiger helicopter essentially superfluous and make it pretty much impossible that Orumov could get with he scheme without everyone know he do it . the game retain the interrogation scene almost word for word but how could Defense Minister Mishkin possibly think bond be behind the theft of the Goldeneye ? do bond also command dozen if not hundred of russian troops to attack the facility ? in almost every case where the character or plot be change it be to the detriment of the story . Goldeneye get the control scheme correct with the Wiimote\/Nanchuk . you move with the nanchuk control stick and control direction with the Wiimote so you direction essentially follow the reticule . there be strafing , run and gun and lean which in my opinion be absolute must but I still see FPS 's that do not have they . press ` z ' button give you limited lock-on but it can be frustrate when the game decide to lock on something other than what you be try to hit . the biggest problem be that the gun seem to have serious problem aim high and low . targeting upward will generally give you a angry red circle with a line through meaning you can not fire which can be brutal when someone be shoot you from above . likewise there can be some frustration when try to shoot downward . also , the control can sometimes seem to get lose and just float around or lock up . by and large when I be run and gun through a area I be fine and loving it but the target problem come along more than occasionally . there be one part in the game where I need to escape a burning train by shoot off some lock and my aim absolutely refuse to respond elicit more than a bit of profanity . I can not overstate how much of a problem this can be when the control suddenly refuse to obey . I can not deny there be much awesomeness to be have in the new Goldeneye . the sniper rifle and night vision goggles be do well and I love the tank section although the end where Bond stop Orumov 's train be lame compare to the movie . player can play more of a stealth game -lrb- which be do exceedingly well -rrb- or shoot they way through the whole thing . the control scheme be do well if a bit bitchy and often frustrating . personally I do not like that they use Goldeneye because it be neither a homage to the original rare game nor a improvement on the story of the film . the Memorial Park scene be a great level but the end be terrible compare to the film on the other hand the ` cradle ' scene be a sight to behold . this be the first bond game I have buy in year and I would have to say that for its era this be the second best bond game I have play after the original Goldeneye and the best fp I have see on the Wii . Goldeneye game show a lot of effort put into it include a really slick menu system but there be some graphical glich like float gun and fall through the ground that take I back but not in a good way . I have criticize a lot but this be a quality game if you can overlook a few very frustrating issue . just do not set you expectation too high or you might be disappoint . +613 Video_Games POS 5 this cable be just what I need for my college dorm .

I think that , contrary to other 's belief , the drive control be not bad , they be REALISTIC . the gun be fun to use , and the story be AMAZING . you make lot of friend , and the way you decision influence the story add a very nice sense of realism to the game . and to those say that the main character be boring , or that it suck you can not manage a gang or buy property like in San Andreas , consider that the main character be a immigrant . this game have good replay value and be well worth the buy . +41 Video_Games NEU 3 d can play gameboy game so why would you want to buy a system that dosent play previous gameboy game ?

Random enemy spawn directly behind you , no matter where you be - it take too many round to get a kill on core . damage threshold need to be lower a bit - there be not enough hardcore game mode -lrb- where be hardcore headquarters ?? -rrb- - sound be not very good at all . I should ` nt have to get shoot by a helicopter to notice that it be there . - dog unrealistically too hard to kill -lrb- especially on hardcore . I can kill a man with one shot but not a dog ? lol -rrb- - map be fairly small with not much for sniper to do . there should be at least a couple good snipe map . - no real incentive to prestige imo . not that I 'll put nearly the time into this as I do on mw\/mw2 I think it be a pity that this break the initial sale record for mw2 . it do ` nt deserve it . I hope they can patch some of the issue , but if mw3 be come out next week , I would dump this and move on . +98 Video_Games NEG 1 this game have mad system requirement . when I buy it , I have to upgrade my video card so that it would support Shader 3.0 -lrb- the game doesnt look that fine trust I , it would have run on 2.0 perfectly , developer be just alienate 2.0 user -rrb- . anyway , after upgrade to a really expensive video card , I have great expectation , I mean , a game that have 3.0 shader as a minimum system requirement have to look awesome right ? well no , it look exactly like any other game I ever play on my 2.0 Shader card . on top of that , the game be buggy as hell and really boring when compare with the other Splinter cell Titles . my final recommendation ? get those bill you be go to use to pay for it and burn they , much more fun in that than this stupid game . +754 Video_Games NEG 2 it do not suck I in and I do not like that you have to start whole section over if you do not make certain check-point . +986 Video_Games POS 5 I grow up play mortal kombat . I be a fan of the series up to it be 3d debut , when it really begin spiral down-hill . soul calibur be the first 3d fighter that I feel be worth the buy . it have a deep storyline , as deep as fight game get . it include ton of secret that can be access by play through the game on various mode . the graphic be the best you can find on any system . buy the game if you even remotely like fight game . if you do not ... what be wrong with you ? +798 Video_Games POS 5 we receive this game as a `` family '' present and have not play it ... i can not believe how much fun we be have as a `` family '' play this silly game !! +524 Video_Games POS 4 there be no reason to state the amount of hype attach to this game , so I be not go to . let I say I have hardly ever see a game that live up to its hype completely . many of the greatest game be sequel in a already polish series . the third and final installment of Halo -lrb- or so Bungie say -rrb- encompass everything the game developer be look to add to the second one . and in my opinion , they execute this very well . here be a short mach up of the game 's main part : Gameplay 9 of 10 : the mechanic feel very good and a lot of the game resemble Halo : Combat Evolved . everything be intuitive , no drastic change but many small beneficial addition . many of the serious physics problem from Halo 2 be address . I will say it be my favorite of the three in term of pure gameplay . there be constant action and variation . the Arbiter be take out of the gameplay for the most part . many people complain about end Halo 2 as the Arbiter . now , only as a cooperative partner can the Arbiter join in . my favorite feature of the game be a great deal of the enemy have change . to begin with the Flood be only in two complete level if I remember correctly . nobody I know like fight they . the developer take this to heart . a few thing I have notice about they : if you shoot the Flood part of the `` infected '' they go down easier , they be now able to be beat into they constituent and they be just quite simply not as difficult to kill . in fact the difficulty level be a step down from the first two game . normal seem like a enhance easy . brute be considerably weaker . a few shot to the chest now destroy they armor . skull however , make the game more like the legendary setting of old . there be 13 skull that can be find in various secret place in the game . they add thing like : grunt throw many more grenade , all enemy have extra health , you have to hit enemy to get shield back etc. . four of the skull allow you to change you armor on xbox live . these also add multiplier to the meta-game . in the meta-game you be give point base on how and who you kill . brute obviously net more point . this be a fun way to compete with other via xbox live . so many feature have be add to this game , it be hard to list they all . graphic 8 of 10 : very good visual stand out even from other next generation game . Lighting and reflection be greatly superior to many other current game , weapon look more realistic than anything in the game . much more time be spend on the texture and close up visual . color be vibrant , everything have sharp and crisp line as long as you have hd or I prefer s-video -lrb- because I be lame and have a CRT -rrb- . if you do not , Halo 3 will resemble a enhance Halo 2 visually . Controls 8 of 10 : Controls take a evolutionary step , with only a couple of button move out of necessity for the special item . the basics be the same as first and second game and as always have little to no learning curve for a person familiar with fp . there be more option on the personalization of the control now . in my opinion halo 3 have the best control for a shooter game and have be copy before . music \/ sound effect 7 of 10 : the music be just brilliantly do , now with a full orchestra . and the original soundtrack have be considerably enhance and expand by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori -lrb- the composer for all three game -rrb- . with a orchestra in the background , the game just feel more epic and give a human quality to the story . the sound effect on the other hand be nothing new or really better than ok , even with the volume way up it be hard to get the full experience . many of the weapon seem to be tone down literally . Weapons 8 of 10 : many , many weapon be add . here be a full list : http:\/\/halo.wikia.com\/wiki\/weapons there be probably more weapon in this game than the first two combine . unfortunately , many go by the wayside because of there ineffectiveness against enemies-especially on multiplayer . if you remember those large energy shield you always see the covenant standing behind and always wish you own , Halo 3 give you the option to do so along with a bunch of other new special item : energy drain , deployable cover , trip mine , bubble shield , flare , invincibility , incendiary grenade and a few more . the bubble shield be quite impressive-throw this out and a large sphere will encapsulate you and keep out any and all weapon fire include explosive . however , anyone can walk in . Vehicles 8 of 10 : a very well do fleet of both human , covenant and brute vehicle , quite a few new vehicle on every side along with mostly improve version of the old one . there be multiple version of the Warthog . the Mongoose -- be a small non-armored atv capable of very fast speed . a new bunch of brute vehicle such as the chopper enter the fray . and if you have not guess , the Scarab be back . in fact you 'll get to destroy four within the game . phantom be now destroyable . the tank now house a separate gunner for the machine gun while some speed be add and even out the slower rate of fire . a full list of the vehicle : http:\/\/halo.wikia.com\/wiki\/vehicles Story 6 of 10 : I must say my view on the plot surround Halo 3 be blurry . I have play through the game a few time now and can not understand where it be go . it seem to be overly complex without explain much . the story center on the Master Chief lose Cortana . about halfway through I really lose interest in what be go on with gravemind and the Flood and say forget it . maybe a primer should have come with the game or it do and I fail to read it . honestly , if someone can give I a synopsis of the storyline I would really appreciate it . unfortunately the Halo book have not progress thus far and I 'll have to wait to find out just exactly how the game end . Multiplayer 6 of 10 : and now for the thing that make Halo famous . Multiplayer have to be separate into two distinct part : the gameplay and the matchmaking system . let 's discuss the bad first . quite obviously the matchmaking system ... which can be livable at best . in the past the worst part about matchmaking be the wait time , constant restart and even complete loss of game because people quit or lose they connection . in retrospect they be not that bad compare to the most recent addition to the game . in fact get into a match be now very fast -lrb- about 2 minute on average -rrb- however , Bungie feel it be necessary to now change fundamental part of multiplayer . just last weekend I notice that something be seriously off . while attack a person I take his\/her shield down and meleed only to find it would not kill him\/her . I be also get kill by thing that should not have kill I . plasma grenade would explode 5-10 foot away-killing I . it be not the case before . this be not a singular phenomenon . my friend notice the same problem . nothing be consistent anymore . also supposedly less than 50,000 people be online . if you have not play before these thing might not bother you . to I it seem as if the programming be now favor the weaker player . it be kind of like study for a history exam and then somebody hand you a math test instead and take it away halfway through the allotted time . I have really lose interest in the game since this occur . aside from that there be ton of map and a decent amount of game variant . New map pack come out about every 3-4 month for a price . as be the case , they be make free month after they have come out . I be not sure what to think about multiplayer now . there be not superior multiplayer infrastructure in term of scope for xbox live . but at the same time when you be not sure what the physical rule be , how can I feel anything but disillusioned . conclusion a very well think out and truly fun game-which be something lack in these next gen game . `` over-realism '' be not fun . videogame be mean provide a escape . Halo have this in spade . a genetically enhance super soldier that fight alien in a half ton cybernetic suit of armor-brilliant . and you get to play as he . overall this game be the best halo for you money . if you own a xbox 360 I would not think twice about purchase this . +895 Video_Games POS 5 this game be so fun i play it for about 2 hour when i get it . it be a very fun game the big ball be one of the easiest challenge +802 Video_Games POS 5 sturdy cord , work like a charm . I use it to recharge my ps3 controller while play game . you can never have to many of these lie around . +724 Video_Games POS 4 like the title say , this game be very overrated . win lot 's of award and such , and be hold ` the best resident evil ever ' I highly disagree . yes , compare to the previous release , this game be much more fast paced , but game of the year worthy ? not really . Gameplay : very fast pace , you should not be stick in any area , the puzzle be too simple to be consider ` mind numb ' and you visit most area of the game only once . backtrack have always be a staple in the previous game . Storyline : this be probably 4 's weakest area . the storyline be much too James Bondish , and or not resident evilish . apperantly the people who title this a great story , have not play any of the other title . the plotline be almost embarassingly simple . almost no twist , or change . Kind of a letdown . graphic : a lot of people disagree , but I think the graphic be better in re0 , and the Remake . the graphic in this release almost look ` cartoonish ' the color 's could have be do better . music : meh , some song be really good , but most song do not stick with you . I think the end credit theme title ` sorrow ' be very beautiful , in the Resident Evil sense of course . Controls : very good . the same as the previous Gamecube release . should not take long at all to adapt . in a way , I sometimes wish this game flop , just so Capcom would not stick with make the same game over and over . the previous game always have variety from one another , but Capcom decide to make re4 the new base of all future title . this will most definitely appeal to most , but for people who have be into the series since the late 90 's ` like I ' find this to be a very dumb decision . but hey , be not all company 's about ` milk ' what win ? more about the actual game . the enemy be , well , definitely not possible . what in the heck spawn El Gigante ? who of which look like a troll from LOTR ` yuck ' most enemy in the previous game have similarity to they non-infected counterpart . this game be very weak in the way of tell you what cause such mutation . and Ashley Graham ? let just say you 'll stop bash Sherry after you play a while with that busty blonde . this game be worth get if you want a long , challenging game . but if you be familier with the older title , do not expect this to be anything that make the other game so great . good luck . +361 Video_Games POS 5 this game be great . plain out . the way you can switch from human to elite on certain level be very cool . ! part I do not like be the fact that i will have to wait more , through delay after delay and finally get to save earth . I hope they dont change the weapon because master chief be on go for a day or two . overall the game be great and the multus player be fantastic and i could play that with my friend all day and all night . +178 Video_Games POS 5 I buy this game for my son for Christmas because he really like the Bejeweled game . I start play and I could not stop . it be a very simple idea that be load of fun . +617 Video_Games POS 5 Ok , I get this game @ 10am yesterday @ work b\/c pre-order it and honestly , I be not expect it to arrive until this morning . all I can say be WOW !!!! I have play this game a estimate 6 hour since I have have it and it be by far one of the best game ever , on ANY console . the storyline pick up where it leave off form halo 2 and the action be non-stop from there . the graphic be stupendous and the fact that you have much better weapon make it a huge plus . I have not try play the game online but I will soon . you barely have time to blink b\/c the enemy be come at you w\/such speed and ferociousness . I be not expect this and I be very satisfied w\/my purchase . I see other gamer say that this game be not as great as whatever , but each game be MADE to be different !!! stop try so hard to compare it to other title on this system and other system thing and take it for what it be , a awesome fp . I be sorry , I do not think the market for fp ' would fare too well if each and every fp be like the rest . +705 Video_Games POS 4 we be a Pixar household . my 5-year old son love all thing Toy Story , and we have watch Toy Story 2 more time than I care to admit in the company of adult . so when I find myself play Buzz Lightyear on a attack on Zurg 's Fortress , straight out of Toy Story 2 , I be beside myself . and I be 41 . the game be a must-play if you be a Toy Story fanatic , and simply can not get enough Woody , Buzz , Jessie , and the rest of the gang . it be obvious that they do not get the a-list actor to do the voice , especially when Stinky Pete open he mouth , but it be still a blast to get to `` be '' Woody try to make you way through Andy 's room . the game start off fast , with a extend version of the train chase from the beginning of ts3 , and work its way through the rest of the movie with somewhat-related adventure . it be obvious that they have to make up some reason for the game to take 8 + hour , and so some of the mission be a bit off-plot from the film -lrb- s -rrb- . they be still fun , like figure out how to ride Bullseye around Sunnyside quickly . the thing that make this game 100 % worth the time and money , however , be the attack on Zurg 's fortress . Flying in as Buzz Lightyear , take on the robot , and then make my way to the center of the fortress be a blast . and when I get stick and could not make it any further I remember the secret entrance to the left , and sure enough , there it be . of course . for age-appropriate kid , or kid at heart , this game be indeed a fun romp through a land I already know with character I already love . if you be a hardcore gamer , this will make for a good , fun-hearted diversion from you normal gunfight . if you be a Pixar junkie , know that you can defeat Zurg , too . +461 Video_Games POS 4 I understand people 's concern about the DRM , but after play the game , I can not help but give the game a good review . the cell stage and the creature stage be fun , but the only thing I have to complain about be that whenever I get to tribal mode , my screen keep freezing after it tell I to do something in particular . I do not know if this be a bug with the game or just a computer problem . I have a lot of fun with spore though , I really have no complaint about the gameplay in general . +481 Video_Games POS 5 I must say , I spend a good two month decide on what headphone to buy for my xbox360 . I finally decide on the Turtle Beach x41 . I be concern about feedback , interference , crackle , and every other thing people complain about in other review . I have experience nothing but crystal clear 5.1 surround sound . I have have the headset for a few week now . I do not know if it have improve my gaming in black op , it be a bit overwhelming at first . hearing every bullet , bug in the air , music playing be a amazing . I actually think I be experience feedback on Grid in Black op ... but it be simply the fact that my team spawn in domination next to the power station . the buzz be something I have never hear before even with my surround sound speaker . I have the receiver set right on top of my 360 with 1st generation wireless network adapter , a wireless router , and my iMac run use airport in the next room . still no feedback or interference , even use Comcast and they crazy throttling . one complaint be that the chat volume control take some fiddle to get the right volume set . first time I use it I be blow away at how loud my friend be . overall , very pleased with this purchase . so be my wife ... she do not have to hear the announcer say my killstreak over and over ! +454 Video_Games POS 4 this be a really fun game especially if you play against another person . I just wish there be more location to fight over . how about the rebel blockade Runner or the Death Star ! +148 Video_Games POS 4 great game for shooter fan best of the series period !!!! resistance 3 be fun fill ride excellent weapon and the weapon wheel be back make this the best in the trilogy by far . I love resistance 1 and like r2 mainly the co-op that be offer with r2 so really wish that c0-op be include with resistance 3 . hopefully they will do like red dead redemption do and make co-op a dlc later on in the near future . this game have a great and well pace campaign very fun and have some memorable shootout and a very bleak and desperate atmosphere which be the right mood for this game . every gaming magazine and website have be rating resistance 3 close to 9 's out of 10 and 4.5 out of 5 except for Game Informer they be the only outlet that give it a 7.5 for have some bug that I never notice and such a bleak atmosphere which really do not make sense to lower the score that much for it be purposely bleak setting and tone . I wish Insomniac would have also do alot more with they extended development time some may want to rent it first but if you a fan of shooter and a fan of resistance then go ahead and purchase it you will not be disappoint . multiplayer-now multiplayer be a fun and crazy time weapon be always be upgrade so be you character which help alot and headshot matter alot in this game . the only thing lack be the co-op mode from resistance 2 it do have a campaign co-op which also very fun to enjoy with friend and split screen co-op also . when and if this game get it be old co-op style back then it will be the alot better there be occasional glitch not as much as be reprt by gi but nothing game breaking . I also wish the old big team battle be back they be a blast on the sequel but I guess since humanity be all but wipe out battle have to be more like small skirmish . +60 Video_Games POS 4 its great ! but the driver send with it be crap . mine didnt have any lead light on it like other do . install be horrible but it be actually the controller i be use ?? go figure . i dont know why it didnt work with it . thankfully after screw with it and struggle for hour , i switch out the controller and it work great . it deserve a five , but for some reason my emotion make I give it a 4 . call it a gut instinct . +721 Video_Games POS 5 you can not create a female character and it be rate m , because you can cut off people 's head , blood fly everywhere , then kick they head around as a soccer ball which be cool , and you can have sex wit ur wife , get drunk and throw up , exactly my type of game ! +995 Video_Games NEU 3 this be a great product - except for the fact that it can and will crash you game . it have great code and they be all great and really help you win the game . half the game would be really hard to beat without it . but , it crash my Animal Crossing Wild World game once and New Super Mario Bros too many time to count as well as Mario Kart . it work well , but do not get too dependent on it , as it may and probably will crash when you need it the most -lrb- about to defeat the game , main boss , etc etc. . . -rrb- so be warn it be good , and actually work really well until u get too dependent on it when it fail u. +659 Video_Games NEG 1 after 4 hour of update my PS3 I get from Amazon , and then update and install update for this simple stupid game , I have 6 hour into it , -- it do not work ... waste my whole Christmas Day . . I just want a game deck with good graphic and to play a simple racing game with my wife . . do not buy this game !! I hate this on-line gaming crap , I just want to race a cool car and pass a few hour away . . not get into on-line sign-up , community , stats , and give my family history to a bunch of a \*\* hole ! +715 Video_Games POS 4 I have to say when i go into this game i be expect something that be break and no fun . im come late in the game its be out for over a month now . and well so far its be a fun game . I would say anyone that want a game for graphic and just random fun here and there or like FF XI give this game a chance . its selling almost half off and its free online play for now . Update : well i havent play this game for awhile so i figure id check it out . wow what a difference a team that know what there do can make on a project like this game . there be a ton of thing to do in this game now . many of the thing i didnt like the first time around be now go . and this be only verion 1.2 . i cant wait for 2.0 . the game that be not complete have I hooked and i cant stop play now ! anyone that think about try this back a year ago , i really hope you try it for just a month again . I promise youll be happy about it . +89 Video_Games NEG 2 my wife and I be fan of the original Animal crossing on the gc . we be so hooked on that game ! lol Well she and I purchase the d version a few day ago . she and I be hook on that one too ! lol I have log a good 15 hr so far in just a few day on it . and my wife have a good number of hour log herself . = -rrb- if you enjoy the gc version , you will definitely love this one too . and for we adult out there , do not be afraid to play this game . sure it look kiddie but man it be fun ! lol but as one guy say , the fun do wear off as time go on . but believe I , you do get load of enjoyment out of this title . I love the fact that there be many more species of life in the d version , namely the saltwater fish . I catch a shark yesterday and it be too cool ! I do see where the gc version be better than it be d counterpart but that be no real biggie b\/c it be still a blast for item collector . there be once again so many thing to collect and catch and such . the one thing in this game that really tick I off be that I find out that I can not get Tom Nook 's Nookington 's with the barber shop in it due to the fact that I be not connect with wi-fus and such and I only have one d as well . I also only have a dial-up connection in my home . so it appear that the main store with the barber shop be off-limits for my wife and i. that be really really so irritating to I . hence the 2 star overall rating . to I this be unforgiveable since the gc version I have no trouble get the department store all by myself with my one copy of ac . Nintendo should have throw in another way to get Nookington 's for those like I out there in the gaming world . but to sum up this title , if you be ok with a `` cutesy '' game with a addictive collect theme , then pick this one up . it be nearly as fun as the gc version and worth a look . +786 Video_Games POS 5 great controller . win 7 x64 system recognize it and immediately download the current driver from Microsoft . work great so far and be a lot easier on the hand and arm than play with a mouse and keyboard all the time . just buy the Xbox 36o controller instead of the higher price 360 controller for window . +522 Video_Games NEU 3 I get this pretty cheap since it be a old item . it come with driver for Windows 98 . have say that , it be not too difficult to find a Vista driver . just Google around until you spot it . the slide action of the base simulate arrow key , not joystick input , so it be not velocity sensitive . translation : do not expect to move faster just because you move the device quickly . think of the device as a replacement for you keyboard instead of a secondary joystick . +940 Video_Games NEG 1 it be a cool idea of play 4 game from previous console , but the original 's `` rupee obtain '' sound be not the same . Majora 's Mask have issue , which be more irritating . it be like they release a rushed beta version of this game . +30 Video_Games POS 5 I be a avid fan of Nintendo . still , I feel the release of the 3d be a bit rush . the launch game be lack , be mostly remake or gimmicky game try to show off the capability of the new system . with this game however , Nintendo hit the sweet spot . they have make a truly amazing game on they revolutionary new console . the platform feel spot on , with game play from 2d and 3d Mario game . if I have to describe it , I would say it be 2.5 d , if that make any sense . it be like a 2d platformer , but instead of have just a foreground to play in , you play in multiple foreground and background . this game have tanookus fever . there be tanookus goomba , tanooki bullet bill , tanookus bowser , and of course , tanookus Mario . defeat goomba with my tail be something I have not do since Mario 3 . this game be HUGE . in order to have a 5 star file you have to complete all level , get all the star coin , complete all level as Luigi , get to the top of every flagpole , and get to the top of every flagpole as Luigi . con : the tanookus suit make thing almost too easy , it almost feel like cheating . in the last couple of level be hard in a bad way . they only give you 30 seconds to complete they , with clock scatter over the level that give you 10 extra seconds . and they use Shadow clone , shadowy Mario doppleganger that follow you every move , damage you if they touch you . it make I feel as if I be run out of a building that be go to explode with a gunman chasing after I . overall , the good outweigh the bad , give you no reason to pass up on this game . +878 Video_Games NEG 1 this game have alot of potential . its too bad its be DRM cripple and dumb down . +352 Video_Games POS 5 best race game ever ! awesome graphic . amazing unlockable . best multiplayer too ! +674 Video_Games POS 5 this be a proper game and a fitting end to a fantastic franchise . there will never be another series like it . there be not much to say than what have not be say here before . this be one that every PS3 owner should have in the collection . this be the one game that all other need to experience in they life-time . +119 Video_Games NEG 2 while use the Sharpshooter with Killzone 3 my on-screen reticle track right for no apparent reason . exchange for another just to have the same issue . require constant re-calibration to be playable -lrb- every time the action die down -rrb- . look for a `` fix '' version from sony soon . move wand play flawlessly by itself . +160 Video_Games POS 5 a fresh title from Capcom that be similar to monster hunter but more action packed and a bit story drive . +174 Video_Games POS 5 I just get this remote and it be exactly what I be look for . the set up be a breeze ! it synce with my PS3 system without a problem , it only take a few seconds and it be up and run . it be great that it incorporate both bluetooth and ir functionality . for my other component , I use the 4 digit brand code and be able to control all the most important function right away . there be few function that I will need to program use the `` learn '' feature , which I have not even explore yet as I be able to control 90 % of the function . my set up be : Samsung - 3d tv , 3d Blue Ray Player and a 5.1 Stereo Component System -lrb- all Samsung product and pretty recent model with specific feature not available a couple of year ago -rrb- , and a DirecTV HD DVR receiver . this remote be now replace 5 different remote include my PS3 controller , for which I will mainly use to watch movie and overall surfing , as I be not expect to use this remote to play game . this be a excellent purchase , very inexpensive , and look good too , without all the bell and whistle of lcd touch screen that only consume battery for the most part . I would recommend this remote to everyone who own a PS3 system and few other component and want to use one remote to do it all . +903 Video_Games NEG 1 the game itself be good enough . no complain on that . if you be listen ea , I will not buy ANOTHER GAME with ea on it if you think origin be the future of your way of gaming . +926 Video_Games NEU 3 I already write a review on this and never see it on the review . I be begin to wonder about Amazon 's accountability and responsibility to its customer . please check you record and get back with I . Keith Trappe +678 Video_Games POS 5 I think this game be great . great feature , option , gaming ability , spectacular level , and good graphic make this game a fun one to play ! although it may not be what you would expect it to be if you have play the game , it be still fun . if you like Disney 's Hercules -lrb- game -rrb- and x-man mutant academy , you might like this . it be a lot like Hercules and sort of remind I of the x-men game due to it be special feature and the thing you have to do in the level . anyway I think this game be good and it be also for Harry Potter -lrb- game -rrb- lover although the HP game be not really what I expect it to be ! +939 Video_Games POS 5 this game be a load of colorful , music fill fun ! there be a million Freddi fish and Fatty Bear cameo , and there be more than enough info about animal . Putt-Putt have to find all the baby animal so the zoo can open . click on and try everything ! there be so much to do ! this game teach logical problem solve skill , and some animal fact , too . I love this game ! if you like this game , try other Putt-Putt game , and maybe Freddi fish , Fatty Bear , Pajama Sam , and SPY Fox , too . +577 Video_Games POS 5 my four year old boy twin can not get enough of this game . it have teach they to have responsibility for they real animal and have help they to have ton of creative play away from the computer . we be always blow dry we stuff animal hair now ! they have be play Pet Shop for over a year now and be never bore of it . I highly recommend it for kid who love animal . +937 Video_Games POS 5 so I be tire of switching cable composite\/component cable at the back of my PS3 to alternately switch between a older , Sony CRT VEGA tv -lrb- which still have a spectacular picture btw -rrb- and to a projection system use a component cable ... so I order this universal cable to avoid swap connector at the PS3 . why would anyone do such a thing ? simple , I be not always in the mood for a giant gaming experience and it avoid use precious projector bulb life 'cause they be not cheap . the cable work perfectly for this purpose on the PS3 . both composite and component connection be route in the cable and both work with the selector switch on hdtv -lrb- PS3 in NTSC mode -rrb- . to define the ultimate in laziness , I no longer have to leave the couch to switch between the two ... it be just a menu setting change on the PS3 . all route pass through my av receiver so I do not even have to change the input selection on the receiver . I could route component signal to the tv as well but I would have to have a buffered video signal box to split the receiver 's component output while not degrade the signal to the projector . not to mention the tv be natively only ntsc resolution anyway even though it do have a component input -lrb- a complete waste -rrb- . I could go into greater detail about video format but seem like overkill just talk about a cable . since the universal cable be also suppose to work with the Wii , I think I would plug that in too . user should take caution when attempt to turn on two device at the same time and potentially just plug they in at the same time as all the connection be route together in the cable which could lead to a video\/audio output try to drive another video\/audio output . probably will not hurt anything except there will not be a picture or sound . I quickly discover , however , that the composite signal for the Wii with the selector on hdtv do not output anything on composite . I would guess that the Wii console need to detect a pin on the cable to switch video mode ... can not run both output at the same time but be that really important for most user ? : -rrb- I do not test the cable with a 360 but I will say I be impressed that the 360 connector appear to have the optical audio converter build in like the Microsoft brand component cable . I see that at the time of write the m component cable for 360 cost a little less than this universal cable . chance be it be the same as the Wii in that the console need to detect a pin on the cable to switch video mode so the component\/composite can not be use simultaneously . basically , cable work exactly as I be hope for my PS3 : -rrb- +816 Video_Games NEG 1 I will never understand why there be so much hype for Halo . . the first one be a sub-average game , the second one be garbage , and surprise surprise the third one suck as well ... the game be boring and slow pace , the graphic be nothing to write home about , and there seem to be very little change in the gameplay from the first two in the series . if people be so desperate for a decent fp , either get Bioshock , or wait for Unreal Tournament 3 . . buyer beware , this game be trash ! +591 Video_Games POS 4 overall the game be very good but i do not enjoy the game as much as i enjoy tale of Vesperia for the PS3 the battle system seem kind of awkward to I compare to tov and the character seem more childish in my opinion . I still love the game and i hope we get all the DLC the japanese version have on the na release soon . thumb up Namco Bandai ! . +47 Video_Games POS 5 if youre look for a classic turn base RPG , then this game should be up you alley . slow at first , but almost all be . very open end in term of side quest , and the side quest be important , only quest and story mission earn you money . no excessive grind need as well so far either . all in all , if you own a psp , and like rpg 's , then you 'll like this game +333 Video_Games POS 5 \* please read my review on the original gtr first . ok , like all motorsport , there be a constant refinement , gtr2 be no different . i. Better racing , you can race side by side , clean , just fantastic !!! II . slightly refine physics , do not want to screw up a great thing . III . graphic , nearly photo realistic , but do require alot of pc , you have to be creative on setting . iv . more realistic with reward weight , damage model ect . overall : gtr2 be better than the original , ... yes -lrb- very hard to imagine that year or so ago -rrb- . \*\*\* Honestly , we be lucky to own this sim !! +850 Video_Games POS 5 this be exactly what I need for the optic cable that be use for go from my headphone I just buy to my xbox 360 -lrb- 5.1 digital -rrb- . I go to a certain retail giant that have blue letter for they name , and get a $ 20 connector . it have about 20 wire hang off of it I do not need ! the red , yellow , white , red , green , blue , hdmus . I then find this little dude , and return the other one for my money 's back . thank you amazon again for come to my rescue ! one note , when plug in the optical cable , it will glow red for a secure connection . if you see no glow then might wanna check connection into xbox , ok ! P.S. the headphone I get for xbox be the sharkoon 5.1 dolby digital 's . really great ! also get from amazon ! +900 Video_Games POS 5 this game be awesome . a must to have for everyone interested in war game . Story line , sound and video grafic be excellent . I be very happy I have purchase this game . already finish the game in the easy and medium mode . I be work in bit the game use the hard mode . let see what happen ... +894 Video_Games NEU 3 first , I want to write this review ten or so hour into the game but decide to wait until I have nearly beat it to confirm my opinion but yes , like a few other reviewer , I be disappoint in the storyline . while the graphic be excellent and the music be good -lrb- never annoying , although I do not catch myself stay in one area like I use to in ff vii so the music would not end -rrb- . the story just never click , I never really feel connect to any of the character . my personal favorite be ff iv , VI , VII and X. All have that quirky japanese humor and can be a little touching as well , plus all -lrb- or at least the first three -rrb- have excellent , very hum-able music -rrb- . this game strove for a more serious epic plot and perhaps lose some of its spirit in the process . on a side note , I love the new -lrb- ish -rrb- game play . I be always somewhat annoy by the screenshift in final fantasy game and love game like Crono trigger and secret of Mana . in my opinion , this game be still a lot of fun and worth purchasing , although not in my opinion the best in the series . +587 Video_Games NEU 3 I be a big fan of m&m; 6 and 7 -lrb- and all the previous one -rrb- , but it become painfully obvious after 2 minute game time that New World make zero effort to make a new game . simply put , this be m7m7 with a few new , and frankly annoying , new change . the first change involve the idea of the entire party sprout from one central character -lrb- but not do as well as Baldur 's gate -rrb- . this be marginally interesting . the second difference be the new character class . the Vampire , Dragon , dark Elf , and Troll be add . now whoever though that the Vampire should replace the paladin -lrb- the fighter\/cleric motif -rrb- must have be high . the one tolerable part of this idea be the new spell specific to each race . frankly , though , its less than wonderful . the aus seem to have improve slightly , though its weird that walk on a certain point guarantee that Pirates will appear from nowhere and attack . also , the storyline seem a bit more cohesive . all and all its a decent game -lrb- purely due to its have use such a good base design -lrb- aka mm6 -rrb- . frankly , the designer should look at the original Might and Magic -lrb- still the best of the series -rrb- , and try develop a game with a bit more think and a bit less formulum . it be worth buying , but do not expect anything new or wonderful . +346 Video_Games POS 5 I wait in line for 7 hour to get the Wii without go on eBay . I get the first day and I also gota the new Zelda game . I first make a Mii , a avatar that you make , to play Wii Sports . the best in Wii Sports be either boxing or bowling . when I play Zelda I be blow away . it be so much better than wind Waker . I will not tell anyone what happen , you 'll have to play it . the Wii be the best console on the market . yeah NINTENDO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! +205 Video_Games POS 5 I be 21 and have not play since pokemon yellow .

I want something that would get I active and -lrb- hopefully -rrb- lose a few pound in the progress . I start the 9 week program first on medium . I currently have 7 workout leave in the program and have lose 12 pound in 8 week . I have not change my diet , but I do try to walk at least 30 minute a day during the week -lrb- I walk around 4.3 mph -rrb- . at first the game be frustrating , as I want to do rep at my speed , but you have to do they at the game 's pace . for instance , when you do a lunge , you have to hold the lunge for around 2 seconds instead of go down , then come back up from the lunge . once I figure out to wait for the game to start the rep , I do not get as frustrated . the heart rate monitor have be a little wonky lately . I 'll do a cardio exercise and will end with my heart rate around 155 . a few seconds later when I start the next activity , it will say my heart rate be 115 . it be only start do this lately , but it do not do it that often . if you be look to get active and build up you leg , and hit some other area , then this be a good game to get . I 'll probably continue do exercise even after the 9 week program be do . +684 Video_Games NEU 3 this item be really short so it should only be use for charge and then remove because I have knock my xbox off the entertainment center twice since I have be use these short cable . they do work for charge and play but you have to be within a few foot of you console to use it . +606 Video_Games NEG 1 First of all : I be a huge cod fan . I play they all since the first one . I will keep it short . graphic : look like I be play n64 . -lrb- I have a 65 '' 1080p tv -rrb- sound : be horrible . gun sound like bb gun . there be no directional sound at all . I have a 5.1 surround theater , and 7.1 headphone . you can not tell direction at all . someone can be shooting right next to I , and it sound like they be on the other end of the map . explosion sound like baloon pop . and you can not hear anyone 's footstep . everyone get the NINJA perk automatically ! Yay ... Treyarch you fail . on top of that , lag , framerate issue , party system totally broken ... I be off to sell my copy on ebay . Rent before you buy this pile of Treyarch crap . shame on you , Activision . +819 Video_Games NEG 1 I be disappointed with this fourth pajama Sam . my six year old son and I love the first three title of Pajama Sam . so when he want the `` it be rough when you lose you stuff '' one , I say , `` sure '' . there be no arguement from I , the previously satisfied customer . he want I to hurry up with my shopping , so he could get home and start play the CD . I help he install the game , and we sit back to enjoy we favorite animated character . the first thing I notice be that Sam 's voice sound different . also , he mouth do not match with the dialogue . it look like a japanese karate movie that have be redubb with english word . how could the producer have miss that ? secondly , the ESC keep do not work to help you zoom through the scene on you way around the map to find the miss object . -lrb- it do on the first three version . call I spoil ? but why do away with a great feature ? Sam do a lot of run around -rrb- . so , we wait as he walk from this path to that path ... wait ... wait and wait ... thirdly , the game lag ! I think my new computer -lrb- purchase this year , mind you -rrb- be mess up . how could it lag ? this be not a multiplayer game on the internet for cry out loud . it be as if the professional people turn this product over for elementary school child to produce . it be that far down quality wise from the first three . I be disappointed and disgusted . I wish I have read the earlier Amazon review , but I trust the quality of Humongous Entertainment and do not dream of read the feedback . I learn my lesson . no more buying of any software without listen to those who have already be sucker or thrill . listen -- if you want to buy quality fun game for you kid , go with pajama Sam 1-3 . leave number 4 in the store . believe I , it be rough when you lose you money . thanks . PS . I do like one thing , the sock song . that be it ... : -lrb- +999 Video_Games POS 5 i love shopping online with amazon i always get my package in a timely fashion ... i love the fact that im able to track my package , and i also can have tracking update send to my phone via sm message ... . kingdom heart be a great game for adult and child of all age its a family game in my opinion ... +665 Video_Games POS 5 this be the greatest game ever . in this game , you play as a badass code-named Naked Snake who must travel through the jungle of soviet Russia to stop the world 's most dangerous nuclear weapon -- the Shagohod . first , you must know that you be not play as solid Snake , the protagonist of the two first metal gear , you be play as he proverbial father -- big Boss , solid Snake be a clone of he . Notice that Big Boss look ever-so manlier than solid Snake . that be right -- big Boss , the original supersoldier that beget solid Snake and liquid Snake , Les Enfantes terrible . the game intersperse the history of the Cold War with fiction . there be a cutscene early in the game that feature John f Kennedy attempt to deal with the cuban Missile Crisis . there be also a secret phone call between Lyndon Johnson and Krushckev , who have a secret hotline between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. establish shortly after World War II . later , there be reference to soldier be subject involuntarily to radiation as part of a series of genetic experiment conduct by the U.S. government . you find that big Boss himself be subject to such radiation . about the gameplay : the game force you to observe you environment very carefully . after all , this game be a sneak game . you be to sneak through the jungle and various facility in order to accomplish various mission . enemy soldier be all over the place and it be up to you to hone you soldier skill in order to move past they undetected . however , you have the ability to face they in direct combat , if you would like . therein lie the beauty of this game : you can go at it in a sneak fashion , or you can be like Rambo and take out all the guard . it be up to you and you playing style . one complaint about this game be the fixed camera . the fix camera be only a problem if you be unable to adapt to it . overall , this game be terrific and much better than final Fantasy X. +759 Video_Games POS 4 I buy this controller to use with a sne emulator on a Mac . after a quick and easy set up the controller work really well . it be not as well construct as the original because it kind of feel cheap but it work well and be a good enough value to merit 4 star . btw - it work for classic ne emulation as well but I find the postion on the a and b button to be just different enough for I to splurge for a classic ne controller . +967 Video_Games NEG 1 it be one thing to not to support a feature or product , quite another to actually go out of you way spend money and time disable it . it appear Nvidia 3D support have be completely disabled with this title , although it be support with the ATI alternate 3d suite . try to play it in stereoscopic 3d result in one of the lens just be completely black out . this be not isolate , either . I have yet to hear of anyone get this work with Nvidia 3D . if all be as it seem then it be completely outrageous they have sabotage Nvidia 3D and shaft pay customer like this . PS - 3d at least somewhat work in the beta , so there should not be any reason the final product be release in this state . the game otherwise work , but I do not want to play it unless it be in sterescopic 3d as the first time play experience will be ruin . if you feel the same -lrb- who care 's if you do not ! -rrb- then make sure you kick up a fuss and apply pressure for the developer to fix this . +801 Video_Games POS 4 Ok so i be undecided on whether to get battlefield 3 or mw3 consider ive be a cod player for year . but i think i make the right choice by get this . amazing game . really fun . perfect war experience . some bug and glitch . look great though . 9.5 \/ 10 : -rrb- +582 Video_Games POS 5 the kid really love use this mic with the ps2 Karaoke game .

I receive the item 3 day before the arrival date , will order agaian , and again whenever I need any new product , I would receive a 20 % discount base on retail pricing . +53 Video_Games POS 5 it work as advertise . I wish that it would either charge faster or hold the charge longer but , after you figure out the battery life you 'll know when you have to charge it . I also would have like a longer usb cord so I could just keep the battery pack in the wius fit . +568 Video_Games POS 5 take about 1 minute to purchase and receive the code . Got my game off the market place faster than ever . never go to the store and buy point . its so much easier like this . -lrb- only give card as gift or something -rrb- +96 Video_Games POS 5 this be a cool game I be really enjoy it . the graphic be very good . it be a lot of fun I like aim and shoot game , and this be great . +749 Video_Games POS 5 I grow up in the day of Balder 's gate , Morrowind , Oblivion , Diablo 1 & 2 ... . Fallout 2 be definitely my most favorite game of that time . if any of you want to take a step back in time to see the history in the Fallout series , this be the best one to take you on that journey . Fallout 1 be hard to play after you have play Fallout 2 . Fallout Tactics be a game play style unlike any other Fallout so I never get in to it . the first hour be relatively boring because you be simply learn how to play the game . but - as soon as you come out of the cave and hit Arroyo - the game unfold incredibly . there be plenty of new and awesome game come out that I will no doubt play however , this one will always remain in my arsenal . I will never forget how this game shaped part of my teen year and some day i will play it again to reminisce . to this day i still view new skill I learn in real life as perk ; -rrb- + more and more thing I learn in the real world ... I be just gain experience point ! hah hah ! +691 Video_Games POS 4 if you go to a U.S. elementary school in the ninety , chance be you play this game . this version be exactly how I remember the old game from my grade school day . hard work and creative design reward you with success in the game . Poor design and poor planning lead to failure . and let not forget that if you get bore , you can build roller coaster to no where that send people fly to they explosive death . could this game be any greater for a grade school kid ? play this game year later be entertaining , even addictive . the objective of the game usually revolve around obtain a certain park rating and a certain number of guest . often time , these objective can be complete with a lot of time to spare , and it can be pretty bore to just sit around wait out the clock . one thing that be sometimes annoying about this game be that you must use the CD while play the game . this would not be a big deal , but sometimes as you be play the game , you will start scroll to another part of a game level and the game will momentarily freeze . it will freeze for 5 seconds or so while the CD spin up and provide the necessary information . I wish the CD rom would just load all of the necessary file onto my hard drive so I would not have to deal with delay . but it be a minor issue , and the game be still enjoyable . for some add fun , you can look up cheat for the game online . many of they involve re-naming guest in the amusement park and they will do certain thing , include wave , painting , take picture , etc. . some cheat will even make the go-kart drive faster . if you be look for a game to take you back to you younger day or you simply want to instill the capitalistic value in you child\/spouse\/video game play pet Roller Coaster Tycoon be the way to go . +245 Video_Games POS 5 I recently get this game for my 2 girl , age 5 and 3 , and it be one of they absolute favorite ! they love the `` strike up the band '' song at the beginning and have it memorize . they love choose outfit , groom the animal , and decorate the float . they ask to play this game all the time ! I highly recommend this game for any girl ! +189 Video_Games POS 5 my 10 year old play 10 hour straight on Christmas day and be very hooked on the game . normally we would object but to `` win '' one need to think and plan carefully . it appear to give a great foundation into business as you build and run a theme park and then see if you can reach you goal in park attendance , customer satisfaction and profit . +619 Video_Games POS 5 First off , I want to get across to everyone that I have play pc game since I be 7 year old and I have experience some of the best game of we time , but this game be easily in the top 3 of my all time favorite pc game -lrb- 1 . world of Warcraft 2 . Skyrim 3 . age of Empires\/Heroes Might and Magic 3 -rrb- Bethesda do a amazing job with this game . the game play be incredible and there be so much to do in the world of Skyrim . I 'll warn you right now it be very overwhelming at first but as you get use to the style of game its very well create . there be one minor problem with the game and that would have to be the very , very minor glitch in the game , they be hope to come out with a dlc -lrb- expansion pack -rrb- to fix they but for now you just have to deal with they . when you buy the game you will understand but for the most part this game be 4.8 \/ 5 easy ! if you be debate whether to drop the $ 60 or pass , all I can say be you will be miss out on the biggest pc adventure in you life . just buy it , trust I , you will thank I ! P.S. . when you buy this game always remember , keep save your game , even if it be just turn a corner in a dungeon !!!! save time , save life . : -rrb- +714 Video_Games POS 5 I buy these for my husband because he be a huge xbox fanatic . he say that the sound be amazing . that they be very sensitive -lrb- whatever that mean -rrb- but he say that it be a good thing . he be very pleased with this product .

'' be you gotta run to a enemy complex , stand there for 45sec . and then run like hell to a pick up point wich as of now ive get no clue where it be . anyway ! ... the soundtrack just ok but the graphic be the point graphic : 10\/10 sound : 7\/10 Gameplay : 10\/10 Replay Value : 10\/10 immersion : 9\/10 +730 Video_Games NEG 1 what be this ? get the game for free . expect a semi-solid shooter with a decent story to keep I play it . well , this be not it . a way too complex game . all the time I be apparently upgrade my character 's abilty in different section . I never have a clue about what these ability do . I get weird name and number , like -lrb- +1 -rrb- maintenance . 3\/4 of the time I do not even have a clue about what be I do , wander around way too dark corridor -lrb- forget about play this game during the day -rrb- try to find something I have no clue what it be . I get halfway trough the game , and I be still use a wrench as a primary weapon . apparently you can use physic power , but it take several minute to select the `` spell '' -lrb- among hundred -rrb- the item , the etc and etc so I just find myself fight with a wrench against horde of zombie that keep come out of nowhere . I once get a pistol but it only have a couple of bullet . I could only find a couple of bullet per level . uninstall it 4 hour after I get it , after the inmense frustration of be kill by the same zombie over and over again , when I have nothing to defend myself with except a wrench , and I have kill he a dozen time . not for I . +405 Video_Games POS 4 I love this game . it have interesting character and a great story line . plus , some great puzzle . but ... I do not like the way it end . to I , be be like the creator just be sick of make it and end it in the fastest way possible . I wish it would have be a longer game . +74 Video_Games NEU 3 I must say , this game be pretty darn hard . I be 13 yet I have trouble beat minus game . some minus game be very hard , while other be simple . for example , for the frog game if you miss 2 big bug or one small bug , then you can not win . but something like Chuckie Chan be very easy . -lrb- although highly enertain -rrb- I also would like to point out you need to finish puzzle to win gold ticket . Whats so hard ? they give you 1 peice at a time . Whats hard about ? the fact that 1\/3 of the time it be not a end peice . so you have to guess where it go in the middle . after 5 incorrect guess you lose . 1 player be definitly fun though . +328 Video_Games POS 5 I buy this game as a bday present for my daughter , at she request . she love it , as do she child , who hardly give she a chance to play it ! so , that go to show that it be great for the whole family . +727 Video_Games POS 5 my 9 year old daughter really enjoy this game for the d and the price I pay be much less then what Gamestop be charge for a use game . also include in we game be a portable pokemon . +868 Video_Games POS 5 these be amazing ! comfortable , awesome sound quality , and I be be in love with the game and chat audio adjuster . great buy for the price ! +755 Video_Games POS 5 my young kid and I really enjoy this game system . it get they up and move instead of just sit and move they thumb around . we be not a family of hard core gamer , and this system be a perfect fit for we . +15 Video_Games POS 5 who say the d do not have great game ? liar , that be who ! and with d Mario Kart you can say you have get one of the best title to hit the d ! and with Nintendo d now with Wi-Fi connection , you can play online and enjoy the fun with up to seven other player ! Mario Kart d , like all the other , feature grand prix race for you to race in . most of they will not be availible until you complete other race , but that be the fun of Mario Kart . the race be not too hard , and they be a load of fun ! four of these track be brand new , but several be take from previous Mario Kart title . from the SNES , to the GBA release just a couple of year ago . you can enter cup at 50cc , 100cc , or 150cc . this , of course , be the difficulty level . you 'll not only notice you opponent get faster , but they 'll get more aggressive as well . there be eight character with two vehcile each . well , at first . as you progress through the game you 'll unlock more . when decide on a character you of course be look at speed , acceleration , etc. but you may also want to look at thing like ... the drift ... or they item attribute . a low item attribute will often net you item that be pretty much useless . this be not just a rehash of a old game , though . I note that there be four new track , and that it actually combine earlier title . but there be also new powerup in this one . you now have a Bullet Bill power up which will increase you speed -lrb- and send you temporarily into auto-pilot -rrb- . you 'll also be able to fire off a bob-omb -lrb- that 'll really mess you opponent up -rrb- and you can now release a blooper -lrb- those squid guy -rrb- to squirt ink on the screen of you opponent . these new edition be worth it . in addition to the new power up and track , you have also get `` Mission '' mode . this will pit you into course where you 'll have to perform certain task to move on . for example , you may need to pass through gate in a certain order . there be six group with nine level each . each group end with a boss . now let 's move on to the best stuff . the reason a lot of we still play Mario Kart game . the battle ! you can do the balloon battle and shine runner in a single player mode , but not do they on multi-player would be a sin . Mario Kart d take complete and total advantage of Nintendo 's wi-fus usage . so challenge some people ! get on the Wi-Fi have great oppurtunity . you can have up to 36 rival , and you can challenge people all over the world . the problem of course , be you could lose the connection . there be little problem with the wi-fi connection , though , and it be much more fun than it appear to be . as you might have guess , the game look and sound great ! it be smooth , like the visual of the n64 version , only smoother -- not as blocky . the sound be great and so be the sound effect . and because the d in Stereo , you 'll love it with all you heart . Mario Kart d be another must own d title . it be not just some port of a old game , it throw in a ton of new stuff . so do not think of pass this up by say , `` I have get it on n64 ! '' the n64 version have nothing on this . so grab it ! the good : + FUN stuff to UNLOCK ! + Great Graphics + Great Sound ! + you can play multiplayer with a single pack ! + fully take advantage of Nintedno Wi-Fi + not just a rehash of Super Mario Kart 64 , it be actually it be own title ! the bad - you friend and family will certainly feel neglect -- unless they have this game ! +312 Video_Games NEG 2 this game take you thru many screen but do not give any help as to what , where and why you be go there . my daughter play it but do not finish it either as she could not find all the miss clue . would not recommand this game . +761 Video_Games POS 4 I have really enjoy this game . a comic fan at heart , I be impressed with the world that have be create and get to see and work with the hero and villian of the DCU . character generation be simple enough to be easy , but with enough choice to get a original look . the only downside be the control . this game be design with pc and console game in mind , so some of the control take a bit of time to get use to . but once learn , thing go smoothly . I would encourage people to give it a try . +66 Video_Games POS 4 it be a gift for my godson . at first sight be work well . just it do not include game and accessory +576 Video_Games POS 5 Esta excelente el juego , a mi hermano le gusto mucho .

First of all , if you like Oblivion , then you should like this game because Skyrim be better on all level . while there be no massive groundbreaking change , every facet of the game have be improve upon in some manner . graphic be nicer , npc 's be more intelligent , the world be more expansive and beautiful , side quest be MUCH more interesting , and most of all , there be freak dragon that you can fight ! in oblivion , travel get to be a pain sometimes because you be constantly attack by lame creature . in Skyrim , the developer obviously tone this down so that when you travel , for the most part you be unhindered , which really give it a more realistic feel . dungeon in this game also have a unique feel to they , unlike oblivion where they all start to bleed together after a few hour . this game really do a great job of blend some aspect of fallout3 as well . note here only the good aspect such as finish combat move and the lock picking . when I play through oblivion , the main quest be all I be really interested in , the side quest be rather mundane . however , in Skyrim I have spend more time with the side quest than the main one just because of the interesting chain of event that many of they have unleash . as a gamer who enjoy longevity in he game , this aspect be fantastic . overall , I would say that if you like role playing game , this be a must buy ! also as a postscript , I can not believe anyone would give this game 1 star ! especially anyone who have play and enjoy oblivion . there be not much difference between the two , and the difference that exist be all for the better in Skyrim . +706 Video_Games POS 5 I be make this short and sweet . this be the greatest fighting game ever . and this be a dc exclusive and will forever be one of the best dc game ever . it have everything I love about fight game . first off the visual be just so juicy . not as sharp as sc2 but still great visual even for this time of the year . the game have some really great thing add to this dc version such as a mission mode , it be like a story mode , what you do be buy art gallery to start new mission , trust I it 'll keep you in for week especially since it be for EVERY CHARACTER ! the game have some other neat thing add to this game such as Practicemode Mission Mode Survival Mode ARCADE MODE , which you can unlock character . and some other neat thing but I will tell you right now if you do have a Dreamcast do not keep it to dust and play gta on you ps2 . you need this game for the Dreamcast . this be one of the reason people get a Dreamcast ... I get it as a gift from my aunt and take advantage of it by get the game . . and this gem be one of they . listen . . do you self a favor and get this game ... heck even Gamespot give this game 10 and it be extreamly hard get a good score on this game . . the visual ar not as great as sc2 and that be pretty much the only thing wrong with it . . bottom line good superb visual on the dc great extra for the dc version mission mode rock controll be easy to get use to load of play time and arcade Mode be a blast Bad . . Hmmm ... nothing Ugly nothing ... GREATEST FIGHTING GAME EVER ONLY on the dreamcast ! I give it a 5 out of 5 star !! Lates +374 Video_Games POS 5 the ability to play all three God of War game on one system for anyone who one a PS3 be great . the fact they go the extra mile and polish both game slightly for the better hardware of the PS3 be even better . the improvement be so good that you will really notice it during the cut scene , which be not polish ' . its odd to have cut scene in a game that be less polished than the actual gameplay , but in a good way . and put both game onto one disc be the way to go . if you have already play through the first two and have the ps2 still hook up there be no real need to buy the collection . but if you be excite about God of War 3 and never play the first two , this be about the best deal around . two game for under $ 40 and it can sometimes be find for even less . a great value for two of the greatest platform action game ever . hopefully it will be enough to keep everyone from count the seconds until God of War 3 's release . +551 Video_Games POS 4 good overall sound quality , when i hook it up to my xbox i be a little confused at first because you have to hook it up to the av cable , then have to go and turn the game volume down to hear my friend talk that my only complaint , but it perform extremely well on my pc +84 Video_Games POS 5 excellent product , very good , even today be the best video game console in the world , the graphic be excellent and now with the option to play in motion be more fun and exciting with real movement and accuracy . I recommend it ! +871 Video_Games POS 4 for 250 dollar , this system be worth it . more importantly , if you be think about buy one , the most promising aspect of this system be the potential for group gaming . the controller , like Nintendo advertise , offer a lot of fun for gamer and people who have never touch a video game before -- this aspect beat out the other two , more powerful system . for the most part the controller be strong . now sure there be game out there that be worth play by yourself such as Zelda , but I think the biggest grab this system have be the ability to make gaming fun for everyone . this system have the promise of be the number 2 system because of its price and its ability to be play by almost anyone . the one lack point be the graphic . sure , this may only be a minor aspect for some gamer but I argue the shelf life on this system may only run for about 6 year , while other system such as Playstation 3 have a lot more time due to people lack the current top of the line technology that the other system offer , ex . blue-ray hdtv etc. . recommend as a system for group gaming , fan of Nintendo game , and for serious gamer as a second system . +600 Video_Games NEG 1 by the time you read this you will have read other review and know that you can not play Civ 5 without a steam account and use a internet connection . go be the simple day where you could pop in a cd on you laptop and play civilization . to play Civ 5 you have to create a steam account include give they personal information . every time you log into steam to get to Civ 5 you have to endure advertisement for they various game they wish to sell . when you start Civ 5 , you have to endure the same opening video until you esc . function override several minute into the video . then the game will load ... usually about a five minute delay before you can get back to a save game . lately , the steam server have be unreliable and seem unable to handle the datum transfer for a huge game setup . the game stop mid turn and give you a obvious statement that a error have occur . if you have not save , all you move be lose . it be clear that Firaxis and steam havent work out all the bug yet . they have my money now , but my recommendation be not to spend yours . this be a good attempt that have result in a classic failure . +764 Video_Games POS 4 this game come on the estimate delivery date and in new condition as describe . Pretty decent game , maybe a 7\/10 . I have no rpg for PS3 and since I play a previous star ocean title on ps2 , think I would give this one a shot . +803 Video_Games POS 5 this game be go to be so cool because I love the other Roller Coaster Tycoon game . I wish you could be a customer in somebody 's park and you could pick on what ride you want to go on and then ride they . but I be glad this game be come out becuase I will be play it all day ! it will rock ! +844 Video_Games NEU 3 i be a huge fan of the prince of persium series , the trilogy of sot , ww , tt , all sit on my shelf with pride . i really enjoy warrior within the most but the other be good too . which be why i have to give this one a relativley low score . this be a good game , the puzzle be alotta fun , the ability to freeze water be a great addition and the concept of freezing time so water become solid be another great interesting inovation . about halfway through the game you get the ability to air dash which be actually another mechanic to solve the climb puzzle . it be a good addition and overall i have to say i love the puzzle aspec of this game it be a big improvement on a already spectacular franchise . now for the bad well ... almost everything else i hate to say it . the combat have be completley nurfed from what it be in previous game , the ability to hop from enemy to enemy and cut they up as you go be good but the control be too lose and buggy . i can not figure out how something so rock solid become so very break . not just the combat control but the game in general , there be time i would hop on a oponent and get tag by another then , then i would watch as the prince stand and ignore my command for a good 2 or 3 seconds while get hammer by attack . the enemy themselves be far ad away way weaker than they ever have be , if i have the more in depth combat system i dunno what i woulda do with it , two or three strike kill most everything once you upgrade the prince a little bit . even the final boss go down without too much fuss . the story be actually pretty good but it rush along at such a pase that it be over before you really know it . i wish there be more story to be tell and more area to explore . overall , from anyone else i would give this game a fair to pretty good rating . but come from the same company that birthe the original trilogy i would say it be simply a adequete game , not bad but not good either , a worthwhile addition to the series and far and away better than that cell shaded disaster . i just would have expect a bit more . +282 Video_Games POS 4 when I first start it be way easy , but I still like it . my favorite part be when we can dress she , do hair , make-up and nail .

I really do not think we 'll ever get tire of it . +476 Video_Games NEG 1 DO NOT buy ! `` Game Party '' \* must \* be withdraw from sale . this game be make by Warner Brothers -lrb- WB -rrb- . they need to recall this game . those who buy it should be reimburse with a replacement of a new update game that work . please contact WB & Xbox to inform they of the issue with this game so it never happen again . they need to play it for themselves so they can see that this game should never have BEEN RELEASED in the first place . this be not a issue with the Xbox console or kinect sensor - it be just this game . all the other Kinect game work fine . WB & Xbox must do something about this game . nearly all the review of this game be similar to my own experience . I just buy the xbox\/kinect this Christmas . I choose Xbox over the Wii for much better graphic , resolution & gaming quality after have a ps2 for many year . I buy `` Game Party '' for the kid & family to have something other than violent shoot 'em up game . it be so frustrating just to get `` Game Party '' to work that nobody want to play it . it take I forever just to get into a game only to have it take I backward out of game repeatedly . often the go forward & backward would both submit at the same time . once I be finally in a game the tracking be bad & make the game unplayable . I really want this game to work because I love most all the 16 game in it . I hope Xbox will come out with more arcade type game like this because we -lrb- even the kid -rrb- get too worn out with all the sport game . the ambulance be expensive to have on standby . Warner Brothers & Xbox must do something about this game . +288 Video_Games POS 5 I be so excite when I receive SSH on my birthday . this game be definately a step up on the difficulty level for the Nancy Drew game , but it be definately worth it . if you have play any of the Nancy Drew game , you 'll understand what I mean . there may be more task and puzzle to solve , but they be all worth it for the last scene in the game . -lrb- which I will not give away -rrb- . SSH be definately worth you money , and with two difficulty level , you can play it over and over again . two thumb up !!!! +781 Video_Games POS 5 this be my first game for the Wii . I buy it because of the great review and be not disappoint . there be plenty do do , lot of place to explore and thing to collect , and so far the challenge -lrb- battle and minigame -rrb- have be ok . some of these require several try to complete , but that be to be expect . the complex sequence -lrb- where do I go from here ? -rrb- that come up be pretty obscure , but help be available all over the internet . even with a good walkthrough , the game be plenty challenge for my ability . in fact , I be stick at the part where you escort a wagon that get set on fire . every time you lose at this task , you hear the scream of the girl inside be burn alive . this be too much for I . the control for the Wii be intuitive for the most part , and I have be able to adapt to the rest . although some people have complete it in relatively short time , it be more fun for I to take my time and explore . +197 Video_Games NEU 3 maybe its just I , but i find halo 3 to be a little cheesey and weird . keep in mind that i have not play the other 2 . alot of the weapon be lame and half the time , i couldnt see where i be in the game . much of it be darkly light or hard to see . overall , there be better shoot - 'em - up game out there . +731 Video_Games POS 4 have not beat it yet but be be a fun game to play\/waste a little bit of day light with . if you have a little bit of cash lie around go for it ! +955 Video_Games NEG 1 I love Halo on the Xbox . truly the first or second best shooter on any platform . `` half life on the pc be the other contender '' . on my Multimedia super killer Dell wide screen notebook with the new Pentium m processor , Nvidia FX 5650 go Video with 128 mb video RAM and 1 gig of main memory , Halo performance be abysmal . i figure the other who say this may have be a bit over the top . they werent ! for Microsoft to have release this piece of drek be irresponsible in the extreme . it be the full Halo game and if you set to the higher resolution , the scenery be gorgeous , but , but , but ! unfortunately , even with virtually all the pretty video feature turn off and resolution set down to a abysmal 800x600 , the massive frame rate -lrb- and motion update -rrb- slowing -lrb- to as bad as less than 1 frame per second -rrb- that take place whenever major scene motion occur -lrb- especially in the middle of gunfight and always during in battle reloading -rrb- . make the game practically unplayable . I complete Halo on the Xbox in normal and heroic mode . but the pc version in standard mode be go to be a real challenge because the frame rate and sluggish mouse update be so bad . really , really bad . there be thing that could have be do to fix these issue before release , but let face it with halo2 loom , Microsoft have to dump it out here now to have any chance of sell it at all . half Life work on the pc and have a truly excellent interface . they do use lower resolution figure and scenery , but the whole thing work together . halo on the pc be on the other end of that spectrum . do NOT BUY THIS GAME , IT be AWFUL ! go out and buy a xbox and get Halo for it . xbox Halo , alone be worth buy a xbox for . the only thing of value in the pc version be the Box it come in . +367 Video_Games POS 4 its cool for a while , but than it toooooooooooooooooooo hard . +259 Video_Games NEG 1 good game , but annoying and intrusive copy protection . when will publisher learn not to punish honest customer ? +355 Video_Games NEU 3 the registar code key do not work , as in invalid or already use so could not use the online feature .

Pretty , some good idea , but it be set gather dust on we shelf after just a week ... +55 Video_Games NEU 3 I really look at these ` activity center ' software package for my kid . unfortunately there be not much to go on with this one . the graphic be nice , but the activity get old after about 20 minute . my 6 year old plow thru this and get tire of it after 30 minute ! this be one of those software program that you be better off wait to buy it when its in the discount rack . +772 Video_Games POS 5 the xbox 360 be arguably one of the most popular console of recent memory , with even Hollywood film and television series make reference to `` the Xbox '' or show play the console in some manner . the console 's main advantage over its predecessor be the ergonomically design controller . whereas the original Xbox feature a rather large controller similar to that of the Sega Dreamcast , the xbox 360 feature a much smaller , yet larger than the PS3 , design that incorporate easy to use trigger and concave thumbstick which provide better overall grip than the PS3 's analog stick do . however , one thing have always be a little `` off '' about the controller . despite its overall design be praise left and right by consumer and gaming professional alike , one drawback have be constantly present whenever one discuss the xbox 360 controller and that be its directional pad . the PlayStation controller have always provide one of the best fitting , and most useful , d-pad on a controller to date . however , Microsoft go the route of the Sega Genesis , and utilize more a disc design for they d-pad . the result : a awkward design that do not respond as intend . press `` up '' can sometimes be interpret by the controller as a `` up-forward '' make on screen avatar move in the wrong direction . this controller promise to try to alleviate the problem , and it work , to a degree . the controller provide a much easier to press directional pad which allow the user to ensure that he\/she be indeed press the desire direction properly . it do not move as fluidly as the PS3 d-pad do , but when compare to the previous iteration of the xbox 360 controller , it do provide a much better overall response for each direction . if the user decide to play the game with the traditional disc that the 360 use , a simple twist of the d-pad convert it back it to its regular form . overall , the controller provide a better directional pad than previous version of the controller , with slightly improved response from the four major direction : up , leave , right , and down . however , if a user be expect PS3 level responsiveness , than they may be disappoint . the color scheme be a nice touch to the controller , provide a overall classy , and sleek design . +744 Video_Games POS 5 this be a great game . its very fun and I will miss it . one thing that i do not know be that it be 3d capable . I try it with my Panny st30 55 in . and I love the 3d . +70 Video_Games POS 5 definitely a nice collection of the old school sega classic game , all at the palm of you hand . the game selection be great for kill time & not be bore . I highly recommend . +203 Video_Games POS 5 I order this starter kit for my daughter and I and we both agree that this be one of the best silicone case we have see yet . the soft jell sit nicely against the game console without limit any of the botton or analog movement . it even add a smoke element to the overly bright led on the system but allow for enough light to know that they be activate . the remote control be just as good as oem and pass the sound through beautifully . my only grip be the simple earphone that be way too hard and too large to fit into younger player 's ear . overall this be a excellent buy and just what we need . +666 Video_Games POS 5 my stepson love this game . he be 6 yr old and its easy enough for he to play . it be lot of fun for I to play too - i love that 2 player can play at the same time +390 Video_Games POS 4 this third party battery be a perfect fit in all four of we wireless controller as well as the Microsoft fast charger . recharge time and length of useable time be similar to that of the Microsoft battery . while some reviewer have complain about battery that do not fit , I have to question why they do not send they back at that time . Amazon will exchange a defective product with free return shipping . at one third the cost of the Microsoft brand battery , these be a bargain . +417 Video_Games POS 4 pokemon black be a great game for return and new player of the franchise . I have play every generation but take some time off because I just wasnt use my d that much for gaming anymore . I go out of town for two week recently and decide to pick this game up . Black be fun ! the graphic of the d be really utilize in my opinion . the pokemon game have never really be about visual but it be a nice plus . my second point would have to be about the online . the multiplayer be awesome for this game . everything from trading from the pc to rank online match with a elo rating system . Game freak really listen to the fan when it come to the online . with Black 's expansive endgame after beat the league and rewarding battle system for any player , I would have to highly recommend this game for the newcomer or the hardcore veteran like myself . if you have lose faith with the pokemon series Black and White will restore it for you . ca not wait for the sequel . +623 Video_Games NEU 3 its a good game , but its nothing like the ps2 version . first of all there no online multiplayer , that the only reason i get it . and also it be miss alot of the level from the original version . finally the layout of the psp make it awkward and difficult to aim . +433 Video_Games NEG 1 the controller break from the analog thumbstick the first time i use it . the quality of it be just awful . i guess you get what you pay for . at least it should have work a couple month ! do not buy this type of controller from this seller . +213 Video_Games POS 5 I remember get final fantasy 7 for playstation because of the hype . it take I week to finish it and when i do i do not really want to play it again . that be like 10 or 12 year ago . I really do not like the look of the cover of gear of war . i think it be too cartony look ; oh boy be i shock . I start off by say this game be very graphic . if you think about go into the service i recommend that you get this game . play online and really see how you fair with other . this game be a strategic , highly detailed game . it be also subliminal . I have over 50 xbox 360 game but i always seem to go back and play gear of war online . ie , I just get grand theft auto iv . play it for a couple of hour . even get the cheat code for some of the car but i go right back to gear and look for that head shot with my sniper . put it like this grand theft auto get a rating of 10 and i think it be because of pay off certain review . gear of war - no advertisment -lrb- such as Halo 3 -rrb- easy get a 12 . this game be 2 year old however gamer still play it online - amazing for a video game that be 2 year old and with such a big market . the greatest game ever make hand down +6 Video_Games POS 5 I purchase this remote because I intend to use it to control my xbox 360 's Windows Media Center Extender functionality .

First be the QB Vision . basically , during you pass , you quarterback can not see the whole field leave to right so the qb vision be a cone type device that show where you qb be look . for more veteran type qb 's the cone to see be bigger , while rookie and the not so good qb it be smaller . you want to throw it in where you qb be look or else there could be a bad pass . this idea be pretty good because it can let the qb get finer throw and throw the defense off . however , if you be use it , rookie quarterback like Alex Smith be much harder to use it with and end up in a lot of incomplete pass . there be a new superstar mode where you take a create player and try to make he a superstar in the NFL . you get you own mentor like Terrell Davis and you choose a agent and you lead you superstar into the spotlight . they partcipate in a IQ test and interview to determine you rating . then you play the game and try to make you player a superstar . after a while of play this , it get boring , so I just stick with francise mode . other thing update be the different type of tackle , new commentary -lrb- thankfully ea cut down on the Madden talk , where he would talk forever about a simple play -rrb- , different kick meter -lrb- I think this be better than the previous one -rrb- , more talk from Tony Bruno , and different storyline for the newspaper . also gameplay have dramically be improve . in the 05 version you would see the opponent runner always get stop by you defense no matter how bad they be . now the defens play how the attribute of the player be . for example San Francisco can not stop the run while Baltimore can . couple of bad thing be the controller configuration . if you want to change what a button do on a run play , you have to change the same button for what it do on recieve , and on defense which be annoying . also some of the image look the same from the 05 game . personally , I love this game better than the 05 version . if you be a hardcore football gamer , you need this , if you just want to try it or you own 05 version , I would get the 05 because it basically the same game except a couple of different feature not really important to gameplay . +770 Video_Games NEG 1 I have to be honest in say that I have fun do those . .

I try over 20 time to enter my game key on my ea account but apparently it be already in use . also because ea have horrible customer support for it be game i do not recomend this game for the pc . any other platform it work fine . I myself have play it on xbox360 and ps3 and it be incredible . for pc not so much especially with all the hassle i have to go through to get the game to work . I end up return my copy for pc . it be a waste of my time to attempt play this on the pc . +797 Video_Games POS 4 I be write this review at the urge of my 9 and 11 year old child who have play this game for three day straight -lrb- a rare feat for any game we have buy -rrb- . I will concede that have be 95 degree for 12 day straight here and play outside have be a little more daunting but they absolutely love this game . the graphic actually seem pretty good . the commentary be definitely not as witty as the tv show but as uncomfortable as it always have be to hear my kid cackle about the `` big ball '' segment the game push the envelope with the `` dirty ball '' challenge . I try and keep focus on how much laughter the game be provide with they . also the cutaway to the announcer be terrible in that the voice sync be not even close , not sure why they waste the space try . after the second and third day they have start move up in difficulty level but they be still try to unlock the extra character and feature and they have convince they mother to join in and she laughter be as much or more than theirs . for the price this game have be a winner in this household as most game do not make it past the first day . it should be quite entertaining for the next get together with friend too . only down side be for I have be that whistle in the background music that get old for I -lrb- the tune get stick in you head for hour -rrb- especially when they have be play for a couple of hour straight . as to the one star review , we have not have any freeze but I have a notice a problem with some graphic when player be knock off in the water scene . we have not play we Wii in a few week and this game do install a update upon start-up . the first try be unsuccessful and we have to restart the Wii but I attribute that to both kid be press button during that process and once we run it for the second time , everything have be fine . +738 Video_Games POS 5 this be the game of car not that kiddy stuff like hot wheel and mario kart , dude the graphic be realistic the car be cool -lrb- well they cold have a mustang include -rrb- but if u want 2 buy a game of car and race performance this be the best u can buy . +884 Video_Games POS 5 I have own all the nintendo system there be ... now some gamer will write , `` the gamecube have the best graphic out of all the nintendo system . let I think a moment here ... we do not have the technology in 1985 !!! out of all the next generation console out there ps2 have the best game ... but gamecube be in a dead tie when it come to graphic . a lot of people be talk -lrb- stuff -rrb- about Xbox , but you get to give it to they , microsoft do not do a bad job for there first system ... they could improve in the year to come . the gamecube controller be one of the best ... it fit perfectly to you hand , though the `` z '' button could have be put in a better place . the classic game , and the new game come out ... all fantastic ! Gamecube also have a revolutionary 3 in '' game disc that be awsome ! the jet black gamecube look like a piece of art ! it really be great ! Nintendo will also be come out with a 56k and broadband modem for online play . Gamecube be a must for all gamer +710 Video_Games NEU 3 just want to throw my two cent in . this controller quickly become my favorite once I purchase it . it feel awesome , the dpad be better , the brush paint sort of absorb sweat and do not get slippery like other controller , and it look awesome with the muted color gray button . major downside : the dpad break on mine only like 5 month into own the controller . lamest part be that this be not a isolate incident . it be a known problem , and if you be unlucky like I and it break out of warranty -lrb- after 90 day -rrb- m$ will not help at all . I mean at all . I call and pull out all the stop - `` I want to talk to the manager '' , `` I have be a customer for 10 year '' , etc. etc. . nothing . I be not exactly hard on controller and mine snapped just below the surface . now im out 60 buck . do not make this mistake and buy the controller just for the Dpad transforming . if you do get it , just do not mess with the Dpad . keep it in the `` whole '' position as much as possible . +473 Video_Games POS 5 I buy this game out of a knee-jerk reaction-i think that burnout 3 be the best in the series and the new one due to come out look even better . Legends be basically a port of burnout 3 but with new game mode -lrb- I think it also have new car -rrb- . still , the game play great and be translate over to the psp flawlessly . all the mode you know and love be there , plus a new one , pursuit , which remind I of the relic nf mode where you be the cop chase the criminal . the graphic be awesome and be some of the best I have see so far , be so early in the lifespan of the psp . the control be easy to use , with the d-pad and analog stick be both available to use . d Braking and accelerate be not too wild , which I think be in NFS Underground rival . the car drive just like NFSU rival , so if you have play NFS , you will have no proplem adjust to the game . overall it be fun and will bring you fun in the middle of rush hour traffic that `` drive '' my parent crazy . for a port , this game do not really seem like one , just a brand new game itself . +314 Video_Games POS 5 there be three pirate who love treasure and would do anything to get it . `` I hungry `` say a pirate in a grouchy way .

I have high hope for this game after all they hype , but there be simply too much stop and go to progress the story along . even the patch be bug for the pc and will not complete the update . if this do turn into a mmorpg and the bug fix , it may deserve another look . for now I waste 50.00 on a subpar game . +898 Video_Games POS 5 I want to play Halo 3 use a PS3 controller - that be I .

First off , the campaign . in the beginning , I be originally concern that it be copy black op , but as other have say , this i impossible because black op be release about a year ago . the only thing battlefield 3 have in common be that the main character 's be interrogate and the campaign go through flashback mission . there be nothing else in common . the mission be fun , and it be all a plausible scenario , give the state of Iran right now . campaign be not solid , but it be not extremely bad . Multiplayer be , however , the strong suite . there be massive map , destructible building , and vehicle aplenty . the ranking system go a little quickly if you play too much but that be not a bad thing . Tactical flashlight be extremely frustrating , though , as a warning . there be unfortunately people online who camp and use other n00bish tactic , but do not worry about they , explosive always take care of those annoying failure . the serve be mostly fine , though ea and dice charge people who buy use copy of the game , which can be annoying to those who frequent Gamestop . it lag sometimes , though this can be forgive , see as how gigantic the map be . there be not a large selection of map , and play a lot make they get old , though not as fast as one may think . back to karkand release in December , so we 'll all be wait . +914 Video_Games NEG 2 after many frustrating attempt to install the power tool , I go to the Hasbro website and find out that you can only play the game with the mouse if you have Windows xp ... what a bummer this be to my six and four year old son . they still have fun play it with the mouse , but it be not they first choice . thankfully , I order this when it be 50 % off , or Tonka Joe would really be on my list !! +608 Video_Games NEG 1 this be the first and will be the last securom product I 'll ever buy . the game start off good enough , but eventually just become tedious and pointless . give it to the local thrift shop while there be still a activation or two leave . I 'll include a note that the drm stuff will soon make it worthless . Might be worth pay a buck for . +975 Video_Games POS 5 I truly believe that the Wii make other gaming system boring and I will even say that I no longer want to engage in the thumbplay associate with my XBOX 360 -lrb- yes , I name drop -rrb- . after one hour of playing , I be sweating and my arm be burn . great workout that I do not expect . +143 Video_Games POS 4 if you be look to lose some calorie and have fun at the same time this be the game to get but I wish thry have a better selection of song . not show any that you can purchase from the Playstation Store +487 Video_Games NEG 1 I purchase this game after have be deceive by the hype -lrb- the realism -rrb- and I be very much disappointed ... to the point I will likely never purchase ANYTHING make by ea again . First of all , they have do away with prone completely . how many soldier refuse to `` hit the deck '' when they be under fire ? that be strike one against this supposedly realistic game . the mission game be too simple ... 4 hour to beat if you be a noobie . the graphic have problem -lrb- lot of tear -rrb- as well as the multi-player have severe spawn issue -lrb- they respawn you into the same place every time so sniper can rack up kill easily -rrb- . additionally , the server for the multi-player seem to crash all the time . then recently they make change to the game in which a full on , dead center mass shot from a sniper rifle will not kill , but only wind a player . additionally , you can shoot they in the head and we still do not have a confirm kill every time . save you money , wait for the next round of game to come out , and then rent they first to make sure they do not suck like this one do . I be not happy about be out the $ 60 and to tell you how bad it be , Gamestop as well as most other company have stop buy they back because they have so many sellback . +685 Video_Games POS 5 we have backyard baseball 2003 and 2005 . 2005 be by and large more fun than 2003 . the 3-d graphic , and more unusual field , make this alot more fun . my 6 year old have not grow tired of this version even after 8 month . the harder the level of play make it so you do not get too bore . highly reccomend this for the young baseball fan . +165 Video_Games POS 5 I have not play this as much as I have part 1 , but it seem pretty much identical as far as gameplay go . there be some thing like bandit lair hide around and the ability to get marry -lrb- have not try much of it yet -rrb- . there be only one thing so far I do not like , friendly soldier have icon over they head that can block you view when try to use a bow . other than that , no complaint so far . +291 Video_Games POS 5 I hook this up to my Vista PC and can use my xbox 360 controller to play game on the pc .

'' consider this be a keylogger virus , I would not suggest download the driver anytime soon . when I contact the seller , they say that they contact the manufacture then offer to send I fix software . I refuse , but I do not really need rumble ... basically , if you be buy the controller for rumble , do not . not unless you want to go through what I do . if you be buy it just for the controller -lrb- without rumble -rrb- then do so . just make sure not to install the driver . +295 Video_Games NEG 1 the base that the kinect attach to do not securely fit into the mount , i.e. , it wobble around a lot and once the kinect be add to it . the kinect then can not move in its full range to calibrate because the base be not stable until I mess with it for 5 minute try to get it into a `` stable '' position . this work for a while until it move again and the Kinect can no longer move in its full range of motion . irritating and just plain junky . maybe mine be a dud . +734 Video_Games POS 5 Excelente producto , innovando en el mercando de los videojuegos y las video consola , el efecto 3d en serio vale la pena , creeme +251 Video_Games POS 5 I get a psp yesterday , and I already be a pro . by read the review here and google all the information about encode video and add music and photo , I already have educate myself in PSP use .

I be try to make my video look extremely well , but 768kbp be more than enough clarity on the screen . I use 64-128kbps with audio and 24000khz . -lrb- a tip : the video encoder must be xvid or h. 264\/avc and the audio must be aac\/mpeg -4 -rrb- .

I be use psp firmware 3.03 , which I recommend unless you be homebrew , which I do not suggest . overall , I have a ipod shuffle 2nd generation for $ 80 , so I do not need a iPod Video . I get the PSP if I ever want to play a real game , but mostly I get it for video . I have the tip drill video by Nelly on it and I love the quality . I would never buy a iPod Video . my friend have one and the quality be not optimal , and I think the screen be a little small . the psp display video wonderfully , and with my Gameshark PSP movie kit , I get rich sound and a dock\/stand for just $ 20 . so the psp be a great buy ; you just have to actually put in more than a baby step of effort and less complain to use it -- which be not a problem at all . +867 Video_Games NEG 1 I be so excited to start my 9 week workout !

Gameplay : Combat be all about know the enemy , especially with the boss . the combat be perfect . the special secret skill be shocking , too . all of the item be fun to use , both to hurt enemy and to solve puzzle . as a wolf , you can dig for treasure , follow scent , and see thing that the normal eye can not . it will eventually become essential . the best thing probably be the secret . if you take time to look around , you might find Pieces of Heart , Poe soul , and Golden Bugs . graphic and sound : if there be to be a contest of the best Wii graphic , this game would be on top . the graphic be great . unfortunately , all music be recycle -lrb- people who have play Ocarina of Time will notice this -rrb- . but for player who have not hear it , it be great . my final review score be 9.6 out of 10.0 . you will love this game . +118 Video_Games NEG 2 try play the game and the first time it start but could not figure out how to play it . a few day later try it again and Steam refuse to work . no help from game maker .

I do pay less than $ 10 for the game and that may have something to do with my high rating , but overall , I be pleased that I purchase this game and will pick up the DLC for it as well -lrb- once it come down in price a little -rrb- . I do wish the game do not have a checkpoint system and allow I to save at any time , but the checkpoint be frequent enough that I do not really mind repeat short section over again when I die . the boss battle can be a little frustrating at time , but not any more than other game I have play . even though the game could be longer -lrb- I still put more hour into the single player campaign of dnf than any Modern Warfare title -rrb- , it be fast pace , have unique level , and provide variety to the gameplay by give you a chance to do other thing instead of just constant , repetitive shooting -lrb- the monster truck sequence and the level where you be shrink come to mind -rrb- . if you be -lrb- be -rrb- a fan of Duke Nukem 3d and enjoy all the little thing that make that game special , you will not be disappoint with this one . +156 Video_Games POS 5 well , first I buy the Sims Deluxe with 1 expansion and that get old after a while but now that I have this with all the expansion I dont know if it could get boring . there be so much to do now like adopt pet and go downtown . the possibility be endless ! +534 Video_Games POS 5 Nitido !!! no tengo ninguna queja , el envio , la entrega todo super rapido , en excelente estado , justamente lo que pedi , ni mas ni meno . lo recomiendo 100 % Estoy super complacida con toda las compras que he hecho en amazon . +965 Video_Games POS 5 I be a avid Wii exerciser . I never think I need 2 Wii remote until I become addict to Gold 's Gym Cardio Workout . Boxing be much better with 2 remote instead of the nunchuck . I buy the product use and it be in perfect condition . I be very happy with my purchase and the price . +664 Video_Games POS 5 what can I say that will convince you how good this game really be . one thing I can say be it be able to drag I away from the sim . not that it replace they , I just spend a little more time with rct . I have see the screen shot and I have to say wow , the peep get a little smarter , the graphic be a little cleaner and the building technique be expand . from what Chris do when he make we Corkscrew Follies and Loopy Landscapes be improve and give we more freedom . I have a feeling that he do it again . I think we will be more pleased and glue to you computer for hour after entertaining hour . and hey for all you who have never try RCT get the demo . then look at the picture on Chris Sawyer web site of the new change . +335 Video_Games POS 4 my daughter and I be huge Broadway fan and really enjoy play just Dance so we be eagerly await Dance on Broadway . at first , I be a bit offput by the relatively bad rating compare to just Dance . I think this be because it be a different kind of dancing . instead of the frenetic movement of just Dance , most of these song be a lot slower and require more measure and control movement . also , the game be not as sensitive and have a less refined score system . as for the graphic , there be not any trouble for we to see the dance . the outfit be also kind of cute on the avatar , and it be a welcome change . I also think it be a pretty good aerobic workout if you be willing to move you foot and actually follow the dance ! if you do not move you foot , yes , you will probably will not get as intense a workout as you would with just Dance . 4\/5 because you always want more song . +432 Video_Games POS 4 halo 3 be just release . Bungie should have pay closer attention to Gears of War . First of all , let I get out of the way that I never play online multiplayer , so I can not comment on that aspect and it be totally unimportant to I in game . as to the game itself , I find it to be a shallow storyline , with a weak , undeveloped plot , that be highly linear -lrb- you do not get any choice about how to approach thing -rrb- and would have be predictable if there have be enough exposition for there to be anything to predict . but what it do well , it do really , really well , which be totally intense no-holds-barred action . 1 . the graphic , which be not terribly bright or colorful , be still fantastic . all movie do not have to be shoot in bright daylight in easily-viewed scene . nor do all game . most of this game occur under cloudy sky or underground . nothing wrong with that . in fact , it make the game more gloomy and give it a nicely-darkened feeling that impact the emotion of the game . that say , the texture , the art , be all great . the building , people , bad guy , weapon , and especially the explosion and mayhem -lrb- and I mean that literally -rrb- be very well do . it be very intense . a lot be make of graphic and people sometimes rightfully point out that the graphic do not make a great game . that be true . but good graphic can add ton of positive atmospherics to a game and really immerse a player and I think this game do as good of a job at that as any I have play . 2 . the sound be also brilliant . I love the whistle bullet , scream bad guy , etc. . what I do not like be all the gratuitous swearing . look , I be sure to the target audience 16-year old high school hooligan , swearing about evil bad guy be , like , totally awesome , or whatever kid say these day . for the rest of we , it be stupid because it mean we have to turn the volume down in we house with we wife or kid around , and it make a video game unnecessarily crass . one occassional , whisper `` oh my God '' can be a thousand time more impactful than a dozen `` s % ! t my weapon jam ! '' over and over again . anyway , just a personal thing but I wish these game company would get away from the cussing . sound otherwise be great . 3 . the gameplay be the best thing about it , though . the cover system be highly intuitive ; you run up against something and press a button and boom , the character model mold to the cover , and then can move around near it and fire over or around it , etc. . the cover system be also useful in how it jumpstart move throughout the environment -lrb- such as switching from one piece of cover to another -rrb- . running be do by hold down a button , you can not fire while run as you put you head down and just go , but it look very cool and realistic . 4 . the game be short , but other people seem to be better at it than I since it take I twice as long as some other people . I think it take I a solid 18 hour , but I regularly read about people say they beat it in 6 hour . I must just suck at these game . anyway , still feel short to I . 5 . the plot be weak not because it be not a cool plot , but because there be some gaping hole that do not make any sense . for example , why be the main character in prison ? how do that effect anything else during the game at all ? why be it interesting that he return to the family demens later on ? why do that matter ? -lrb- answer , it do not , because nothing be ever make of it in the game -rrb- . what be that mapping thing ? what be the sonar weapon ? I think these game , and it be not unique to Gears , need a very solid backstory\/comic\/short novel to be sell with the game that describe all this stuff -- perhaps to be read as you progress through the game ? because the cut scene be cool but they just leave too many hole . overall , a fine game . very thrilling and fun and intense . the weakly-explained plot detract from a five star to make it a four . +807 Video_Games POS 5 to all of my dedicated jrpg player out there , and to those who claim that the JRPG have be go down hil . this be a testimony that indicate the well be of the jrpg in this time . a exquisitely captivating Story , a innovative fresh battle system and a legacy of musical score that should be remember through time could only exist in Radiant Historia . word would be fruitless to describe this Fantasy . +713 Video_Games POS 5 this game be absolutely amazing and fun . the move control translate you motion precisely on the screen as if it be in real . for those who have play wii-sport or wsr , know how it work : you waggle and it translate to can animation . but this be totally different and let you play use real motion that translate to motion capture animation . check out this video compare move to Wii and you 'll see the difference . -lrb- ... -rrb- also unlike Wii sport game this game work both for casual and hardcore with increase difficulty and depth . so casual can play easily with assist but for those who want more there be plenty of depth to master . +264 Video_Games POS 4 the disk be in great condition and it come with a password for free downloadable content . I love the 40 's and 50 's . ive boughten propaganda poster , and m-14 airsoft gun , 1950 's donation can a I love old show like Alfred Hitchcock present and the Twilight Zone . especially old detective show !!! this game put you in the action with the freedom of a Grand theft auto game . with new face technology you decide whose guilty . get the game ! +742 Video_Games POS 4 the metal Gear solid series be not the sort of thing for everyone . it be not really intend to be a first person shooter , for starter . secondly , it be not suppose to be a perfect re-creation of reality . as it have be mention by the creator , Hideo Kojima , time and time again , if mg be a perfect simulation of reality , the hero of the series , Snake , would not last more than a few minute in all likelihood . Third , MGS be still limit by the technical limitation of the technology -lrb- which I will get to later -rrb- . and above all else , mg be about sneak , and rewarding stealthy behavior . this be a bit too -lrb- ... -rrb- retentive for most people , but for other , it be highly enjoyable . to each he own ... Anyhow , down to the good and bad random though about this game , which I finally finish early yesterday morning : I love the graphic of this game . MGS have already try to push the boundary of the Playstation hardware , and it do not fail here . there be time when there be slowdown -lrb- e.g. too many explosion and people on the screen at the same time -rrb- , but it be very rare unless you happen to be goof around try to attack a whole platoon at the same time . even the there have to be lot of explosion occur at the same time . mechanics-wise , yes , the camera be awful , and make this game so much harder to play . it do not make sense to be move around and accidentally bump into a enemy . Konami need to fix this in the next iteration of MGS , b\/c it be become a linger handicap that scare alot of people away from enjoy the game . I have read from other review though that this be not really they fault ... it be the fact that if mg be implement use a 3rd-person camera as in Splinter Cell , it would perform very poorly on the ps2 -lrb- as demonstrate by the ps2 version of splinter cell -rrb- . the game , outside of the strange quirkiness in the dialogue , have some funny dialogue to keep the player amuse from time to time . especially for the people who hate mgs2 , there be a good joke at the beginning . = -rrb- the emotional impact of the dialogue be dilute by some of the voice-acting , especially in the end . I feel that David Hayter -lrb- who voice Snake -rrb- , need to pace some of he line a little bit better , b\/c he still sound like he be read they too much . but it be a welcome thing to hear he gruff voice again . ditto for the Boss and Eva . it be hard ... american version still have alot of work to do in regard to match the quality of voice-act to they japanese counterpart . plot-wise ... mgs3 be not as interesting as the original MGS , but the gameplay more than make up for the weaker , less engaging storyline . in term of the AI ... I mean , what do people expect ? yeah , if you assassinate somebody with a sniper rifle , of course , in real life , people would be look for you and be on high alert for hour , try to hunt you down to kill you . but this be a game and thus only a imitation of the way thing `` would '' be . it be definitely a pain in this game to have to sit around for 2 + minute at a time wait for the alarm to settle down though , I think that be plenty sufficient . the AI 's actually quite aggressive when you be discover , they seem to have get smarter of attack as a group . there be some mediocre boss fight , and then there be some interesting one as well . my favorite be the one against the enemy sniper , the end . it be satisfy to figure out how to beat he . the boss here be more fun to approach than the one in mgs2 . in regard to gameplay , the camouflage can become a bit repetitive . it be unnatural , and too bad , that the player can not quickly equip a gun when wear certain uniform in this game ... that restriction should not have be put in place . the same go for the cure system . the food be just as redundant , but it be fun to hear the reaction of the character and to be challenge in find food . it may have be `` unrealistic '' in how much damage Snake could take in the game , but that be to offset the fact that eat food in the game do not help you recover health ... it only help in make sure that you regeneration rate remain high . the plethora of weapon in this new mgs3 be great . love it !! I like how the structure be alot less linear ... it be still drive by a linear story , but at least , you be give more option as to how to approach certain enemy or even simply different sequence in the game . if you do not feel like go stealthy , that be fine , you can create a bloodbath and kill everybody on a particular level . on the other hand , you can take the quiet approach . you have that freedom , whereas in the previous game , if you try to pull that , you would go down in less than a minute . cqc be a welcome addition . it be still a bit too simplistic , but the gamepad 's only get so many button on it , so I be not sure how the depth in hand-to-hand combat could be expand opon , save for maybe include some clever sfius button and stick combination ... lol . that might be sweet . maybe as a bonus Konami could enable Snake to do a dragon punch if you complete the game once or something like that . it be a good first effort into broaden what Snake can do . the knife be a nice addition . it would have be better if Snake could kill people who be knock out on the ground with one stroke , but hey , at least a knife be include in this game . the cqc knife 's a little bit too sensitive , if you be clumsy it be too easy to kill people by accident when try to interrogate they at time , at least when you be first try to learn . the u.s version do not include a cut-scene theater , which be a shame . = -lrb- all in all , I would not go so far as to call this the `` best game ever make , '' but it be fun , enjoyable , and I look forward to future release in mg or whatever it be go to be call . +350 Video_Games NEG 2 every year madden be worse . I already sell my copy . I be not go to waste any time on this review . DO NOT buy this game and if you think you have to buy it at least rent it first . I wish I have ... +456 Video_Games NEG 2 honestly I be so excited to get this game and it be such a let down , maybe the Wii version be different but most of the time , the `` trainer '' could not see my arm . I change room , lighting , clothing and get the same result everytime . also the game lock up a couple of time and lose all info that I have ever exercise . the trainer would ask which area I want to target , no matter which body part I choose , the routine be always the same . great idea , need alot more work ! +924 Video_Games POS 5 the initial installation take a bit longer than I think it would because the instruction be a little vague . once it finally connect and you connect the usb cable , it work like a charm . the fan turn on and off when it need to and be not the cacophony of noise other review may claim . if noise really be that big of a issue , turn up the volume or use headphone . +792 Video_Games NEG 1 note : this be not a review of the game , rather of the amazon\/ea install process . you might consider buy it elsewhere . I purchase this through Amazon and run they installer . it download the full 7.4 gig folder to you computer . when the download finish 5 hour later it go to install . that then launch the ea\/origin system to authorize the key and install . it accept my key from Amazon but would not install the game . it make I redownload the whole thing again . so now 10 hour go and 15gig of bandwidth -lrb- yes some people have to pay for `` excessive '' download -rrb- and I be hope it will actually install . come on Amazon and ea ! get you shite together . yes , I try cancel the ea download and re-run the install file from the Amazon install , but the ea\/origin system keep refuse to continue . +931 Video_Games POS 5 we buy the Wii package for we adult daughter as a Christmas gift . she be thrill and have already wear out two battery . the package arrive in good time and in good condition . +468 Video_Games NEG 1 the product appear well-built . it be far more advance than the 3d . the game , however , be another story . I regret buy this console . it be at home gathering dust . I should have wait until good game come out . so , my advice be not to buy this product just yet . +971 Video_Games POS 5 its nice to buy point from amazon and get they instantly . never have a problem . thanks for the good service . +495 Video_Games NEG 2 the Champion mode actually do a really good job of outline the strength and weakness of this game . strength : 1 . lot of time spend on graphic make this a beautiful look game . 2 . more emphasis place on footwork and head movement 3 . movie during the Champion mode give the game lot of action 4 . unique boxing style with more work put into make each boxer look like himself Weaknesses : 1 . inconsistent Range , there be lot of jab and numerous punch that just simply ... well ... disappear with no explanation , they be not block or dodge but do not land ... in the replay it show you fist actually punch the opponent with no reaction . to add insult to injury there be a counter opportunity create from these unfortunate moment . I guess this might just be a case of the graphic be so good that they actually catch major flaw in the game . 2 . the Champion mode be a little bit too script . at some point you might as well have rau and Ken perform Shouryuken punch . if you be a boxing purist like myself who be not so much into old fashion rock em sock em they you might find the contender type music and script gameplay over the top . 3 . over exaggerated reaction to power punch . if you think Ring King be the greatestest technical boxing game ever because a uppercut could literally send opponent through the rafter then you will love the way fighter reel and rock after body shot as if they have be shoot with M16 assault rifle -lrb- and then get back up ? -rrb- . its a little dramatic for I though on anything less than a K.O. Conclusion : imagine that while Madden on Frahchise mode you be tell , `` Kid you have to run the ball for the first half of the game to wear the Steelers down then you can pass '' and the GAME ITSELF , actually make sure that no pass be successful in the first half . imagine how cheesy that would be . well that be fight night Champions Career mode in a nut shell . I find it hard to give it a high rating simply because it almost intentionally diminish its strength with very avoidable weakness . I be actually stick with fight night Round 4 , where the game play be much more realistic . the vs mode be what save this from be 1 star in my opinion . +463 Video_Games POS 5 I will be honest , this game be hard to pick up at first but once you start play , it be like a giant snowball ; just get more and more fun . just play the demo ! +621 Video_Games POS 4 the good : AAA Genesis title , perfect emulation , save anywhere feature make play more fun and easier , wireless be great , addition of info and hint be interesting and helpful the Bad : Games do not have any upgrade , a few dud the Genesis be the first system I ever own or play so these title and compilation be right up my alley . with the best Genesis ever make in one game be great . Games from Sonic the hedgehog 2 to Ristar to Vectorman . what be best about this be not just the game but the layout and feature . most game feature wireless multiplayer and the ability to swap score . also , each game have a museum feature to view box shot , hint , info , and thing about these game you never know . the menu be nice and easy and loading be almost non existent . the best part about this be the save anywhere feature . you save in a spot you load in that spot ... as easy as that . there be no upgrade to the game at all which be a bit of a disappointment since there be many problem with the game . other than that pick this up and you will love it ! +110 Video_Games NEG 1 I be 59 year old and have be use computer extensively for over 35 year . I buy the PS3 to play br disc and to watch Netflix . the PS3 user interface be horrible . I have to guess and use trial & error to try to use the unit . most all older Americans will never be able to use it . I be recommend to my friend to get a PS3 for Netflix . now I do not . the password hassle , update screw up , the Sony store want all we personal information before we can even use the unit be just too much of a waste of time . I go to the Sony website to get more operating instruction . you know the instruction be poor if after they , they still have a list of `` hint '' to try to help you complete a seemingly easy task . I think the PS3 be probably a good machine , but DOS be easier to use . rewrite the user interface , or add a additional new one , if you want to ever gain more market share . +154 Video_Games POS 4 I have no plan to buy this . when it come out it be way too expensive -lrb- $ 100 ??? -rrb- and I do not like football . -lrb- I be a baseball fan . -rrb- the price drop , then again and again . I finally find it at a acceptable price from a third-party seller and decide to go for it , since I would finish the 60 day challenge in ea Sports active ii and want a different challenge . very glad I do . it be fun . it mix ea Sports active 2 with some football exercise and a little testosterone . you can choose the stadium to work out in and pick a NFL player as you trainer . some of the exercise -lrb- foot fire , lunge , for example -rrb- be in ea Sports active 2 , but the football exercise be not . I have only do a couple of workout -lrb- on normal mode -rrb- so far , but I be pleased . with a couple of exercise , it be important for you form to be very accurate or the game will not respond . -lrb- also , make sure you sync the monitor with the game , even if you have they synce with ea active 2 already . -rrb- but the added element from ea Sports active 2 make this a good choice if the price be right . I be consider kick it up to hard mode , though I have it on hard mode in ea Sports active 2 and end up drop it down to normal about 2\/3 of the way through because it really get too hard . -lrb- I be in my 50 . -rrb- but I like the workout with ea active 2 and I think I 'll this will do just as well . +93 Video_Games POS 4 I think this game 's strongpoint may be the multiplayer play but the single player campaign be just better-than-average . I be not into the multiplayer thing so it would have be better if I buy this one use . it be a good , fun , game but I be hope for something epic , like Halo or Gears of War level epic . the second to the last level , the Jackal mission , be very cool with non-stop action in every direction ... I think as I play that level `` yeah ! here we go , this game be rock now ! '' 3 or 4 more intense level like that and I would have give the game a 5-star rating but the game end on the next level which be not too difficult after you be give the BFG . also , it seem like the game give you a lot of weapon that you have little to no use for . I could pretty much get through the whole game with the combat shotgun , sniper rifle , and machinegun without any trouble . and once you have the ability to make pop rocket round for the shotgun I could obliterate anything on a level with that gun alone . Wingsticks , crossbow , assault rifle , pistol , grenade , you do not really need they if you have enough ammo for the other gun . Albeit , all of this be on the normal level . I will give the game a go on hard difficulty and it will hopefully it will require more utilization of the other weapon . this game really do have the Bethesda touch to it . if you have play Fallout you will know what I mean . I kind of do not like some of they method for story-telling because it get tedious and feel overly-formatted . like this ... walk up to character , talk to character , accept quest , perform quest , return to character , receive reward . the option screen that allow you to accept or decline a quest be pointless ... you always accept the quest and can complete it or not , too decline it be just dumb . that stupid option screen lend to the formulaic feel of the game quest and it would be much better off without it . +357 Video_Games POS 5 I stop buy cable and stuff in the store , it be way cheaper online . this product plug right into my x-box and be simple to set up with my att u-verse network . awesome to be wireless ! +50 Video_Games NEG 1 this game could be a lot of fun . instead of improve upon Arkham city like they logically should , they feed you a promise of a `` sandbox '' Batman . Sandbox mean that the first portion of the game be `` go in here to this room where youll be lock in with 20 thug with no option of how to fight other than straight brawling . now that do , go to another new room and be lock in to brawl again '' . its not till about % 25 through the story that you be free to hunt criminal the way you could in Arkham city . the catwoman story must be download , it be not include on the disk even though its a part of the story . they can not be bother to provide a manual , amd the game start you as catwoman -lrb- if you download it -rrb- lock in a room with thug that you must now brawl . if you hav not play Arkham city , good luck learn to play in the midst of a mass melee . the major problem be the game constantly delete game save . I have have my game play erase twice in 2 week . I be very carfull to wait for the system to save , I then back out to the menue and log off the system . still lose my file . one be at % 50 completion , the 2nd at % 75 completion . I can not wait to start the game all over , again , so I can be lock in a room with 20 thug at a time and button mash before I get to the greatness that be Arkham city . oh wait , maybe I will not . the WB and Rocksteady should be ashamed of themselves for this . in my opion the company have a obligation to ensure that the product they sell work as it should . this alone make I wish there be a zero star rating . +929 Video_Games POS 4 I 'll start by say how surprised I be to see the amount of negative review this game have garner here . Sure-Prince of Persia : the Forgotten Sands be not perfect , but for the most part it be a very solid and fun play through . if anything , the only real disappointment of the game be it be unremarkable last gen graphic . it be pretty safe to say a game be fun when a player start the game all over again immediately upon its completion . that be exactly the case for I with Prince of Persia : tf . I have even consider a third play through . it be that fun and addictive . Make no bone about it , I be a huge prince of Persia fan . `` the Sands of Time '' be still one of my all-time favorite game . that particular entry be about the closest thing to perfection I have see in a game and the two follow up game `` Warrior within '' and `` the two Thrones '' be for the most part great to play as well . then come the 2008 title `` Prince of Persia '' for Xbox 360 and PS3 which be beautiful to look at but unremarkable to play . `` Prince of Persia : the forget sand '' be a welcome return to the Prince 's earlier root and I enjoy this one exponentially more than the last entry . what I do miss from the last game however be the graphic . in comparison to the 2008 Prince of Persia , TFS be a fairly large step backwards graphically . this game look as though it might have be perfectly at home on any of the last gen system . outside of the cut scenes-the graphic be pretty mediocre and surprisingly bland for a series know to graphically wow the player with each outing . and -lrb- as a side note -rrb- what be up with the ugly black glow around the Prince in certain area ? `` Alan Wake '' have this same graphical weirdness . I truly hope this be not some new trend in video game graphic . it look really ugly and out of place and do not do the game 's already so-so graphic any favor . one of the Forgotten Sands most notable characteristic be how `` player friendly '' the game be . it be not overly difficult or frustrating -lrb- outside of a few section with freezing and unfreeze water at the very end of the game -rrb- and combat be very straight forward and easy to understand . also-the game do a great job of let you know where to go and what to do next . it be also well paced-switching back and forth frequently between combat and platform so neither mechanic get too dull or repetitive . there be a few tradeoff to this more player friendly prince however , and that come in the form of less nuanced combat mechanic -lrb- combat have devolve somewhat into mere button mashing -rrb- , easier puzzle and less challenging `` trap '' area . this be most definitely a more casual Prince experience than previous games-but that be not necessarily a bad thing . sometimes it be great to just sit back , relax and play a great game that do not expect the world from you . that be say though , `` the Forgotten Sands '' be not at all shallow or forgettable-quite the opposite in fact . New ability like freezing water , reveal past area , a cross chasm jump ability involve you enemy and upgradable elemental power add a lot of freshness to the Prince franchise . these new play mechanic go a long way to revive the POP game play we be familiar with and add a whole new level of fun and technique . the water freezing alone make for some absolutely brilliant and completely original area the likes of which no prince of Persia have see before . of course classic try and true POP mechanic make they return as well include wall running , column hop , time reversal and even a couple of mechanic introduce in the 2008 game . Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands be perhaps not the most graphically finesse game it should be consider the gorgeous last installment , but it be definitely a return to the brilliant fun play of the last gen trilogy . I be eagerly await the next prince installment where hopefully both the game play and the graphic be truly up to par with the current console generation . regardless though , this be still a absolute blast to play and should not be pass up under any circumstance . PS : one last thing I want to comment on be the length of the game . several people have gripe that the game be too short . true , the game be only about six or seven hour in duration , but that be not a bad thing . not everyone have 30 plus hour of free time on they hand to sink into a video game . the Forgotten Sands be a great experience for all seven of it be hour , so why do it matter how brief the game be ? +547 Video_Games POS 5 knight of the old republic be a awesome game that be just as compelling to play as the first one . although , there be a few more bug that cause for headache and aggrevation . however , if you be willing to overlook these minor problem , this game will draw you into a world all its own . kotor2 pick up where the first one leave off , you be a jedus outcast that have be abandon on a die ship that harbor on a equally die planet . you sole companion for the beginning be a old Jedi woman that have become you bond mate through the force , and a tough , fiesty fighter pilot that be throw in the clink . however , through the course of you journey you will pick up other along the way , some old friend , other ... well , we just be not quite sure . as far as planet and plot go , there be more to choose from and go through , its a very lengthy game to say the least . it take I about four hour just to get off the first planet , and that be play it straight through . also , for those of you that enjoy FPS , this game likely will not thrill , for the puzzle come thick and fast , and the plot revolve around alot of communicate with you follower . the graphic be really good , and run pretty decent on the lower system -lrb- mine for example -rrb- and the enviromental element be truly amazing . there be the ability to see you breath on frosty planet , and the wind gently blow tree and grass . its a game that be truly immersive . however , the end be a big disappointment . typical end of kill the boss -lrb- s -rrb- , but then there be just the end movie and the game stop . no final dialogue , and you never do find out what really happen on Malachor V , or what happen to you friend that where stick there . Obsidion get to carry away by try to live up to Bioware 's standard that they forget the most importent aspect of this game , and that the ending really do count . I have to agree with everyone else that this game be rather half-done . its still a great game to play , and a worthy sequel to knight of the old Republic , but that end ... . +448 Video_Games POS 4 Fallout New Vegas be a great compromise between the older turn base game of the past , and Bethesda 's new first person take on the setting . it combine the upgrade in technology , with the stronger writing of the original game . one of the big problem I always have with `` Fallout 3 '' be that it be miss a lot of the trademark humor of the original game , and everything seem a bit `` off '' for the world . with `` New Vegas '' Fallout again feel truely like Fallout , have member of the original team do the writing , develop the npc , and so on be a good idea . this installment also seem to better empathize the rpg element of the game as it be a bit more difficult to create a `` perfect '' character who can do everything , especially early on . what be more there be more `` hard '' stat requirement for certain thing make it so that only very specific type of character be go to have certain option . it encourage thought , specialization , and of replay the game to experiment a bit more than the previous installment do . I can however see how those who be not into rpg , or shooter fan who feel `` Fallout 3 '' be too rpg-like be go to feel the opposite however . the voice act for this installment be also pretty good , include both Michael Dorn -lrb- `` Worf '' , `` from Star Trek : the next generation '' , and a voice-actor veteran from Fallout 2 reprise he role from that game -rrb- , and Felicia Day -lrb- from `` the Guild '' , and `` Doctor Horrible 's Sing along Blog '' -rrb- in the role of one of the companion who can join you on you travels ... both of whom do a decent job . I also feel that the general cast of voice actor and the backround chatter be better than other `` Gamebryo '' game like `` oblivion '' and `` Fallout 3 '' in general . what prevent I from give this game a full 5 star be both the requirement of use `` Steam '' for DRM , and the number of bug . give that this engine be use for both `` oblivion '' and `` Fallout 3 '' and this paticular game be under development for 2 year , I really do not see much of a excuse for some of the problem this game have accross all platform . overall , I think the bug be exagerrate by enraged fan , who be both irritated with the track record of `` Obsidian '' and how nobody have manage to clean up this engine despite it be use for three game -lrb- and on the verge of retirement -rrb- , however they be present and can be quite annoying . nothing you unlikely to be able to deal with by save with some frequency -lrb- as most player will do anyway -rrb- , but you still go to probably reload a few time due to improper spawning of something , or get a differant `` level up '' perk from the one you select somehow . these thing be be fix both quickly and successfully it seem , but the bottom line be that there be no excuse for this . if you get this game a month or two after release chance be the bug complaint be go to be a non-factor , since they really be do a solid job of fix the game -lrb- which be why I still go with a pretty high rating -rrb- . it be still unexcusable condition for a release though . the bottom line be to not expect this game to be `` forever break '' because of the initial report . in just the time it be be out there have be vast improvement . +1 Video_Games POS 5 do a good job , the LED 's let you know when the battery be fully charge . it be small and do not take up much space . from what I have be read about the other charger on the market I would say it be safe to buy this one . +35 Video_Games POS 4 to start I cant believe that this game be rate as low as Madden 11 . Madden 11 be possibly the worst madden ever make -lrb- Madden 08 for 360 be bad too -rrb- . it have everything that could ruin the game , lack of realism , bad graphic , bad online gameplay , multiplayer glitch , and freezing problem . my friend recently buy Madden 12 and brag about how great it be . of course know ea like to release crap I tell he to stop lie . he visit yesterday and we play possibly the best madden since 05 . everything be improve plain and simple and im glad that ea be work to make the game playable and fun again , im just wait for a arcade style Madden game like NFL Street or Blitz The League . +424 Video_Games POS 5 there be a very thorough review for the Wii version of the game , so I take a chance that the d version would be as good for my two boy -lrb- 5 & 8 -rrb- . we just receive the game yesterday and so far they have have a lot of fun play it . the quest seem very simple -lrb- just go to the next place with the big yellow star -rrb- so even though my 5 year old can not read he can still do just fine with it . they start play it and then ask for some help , so I be not sure if they miss some of the clue or if there be better direction in the box , but it do take we a little while to figure out the strategy for gain new attack and how best to use strategy when fight the other dragon . my boy love modify character , so have a place to customize they dragon be great and they love simple battle game . from what I remember , the Wii review fit what we be see with the d version too . the only complaint they have have so far be that the multi-player seem to be just to battle each other , which I would have expect , and not to hep each other along on they quest . give the simple nature of the `` quest '' I do not think do it together would work , but that be a kid 's perspective . it be not like the detailed quest you do in Lego game like Star Wars or Indiana Jones , which they enjoy do together and have in mind for `` multiplayer '' experience . +100 Video_Games POS 4 BASICALLY , thie xbox be really quiet only if you be not play game , if you be just changge you setting or set up thing that be no disk inside , you can barely hear the fan , but once you put the disk in it ! OMG ... freak loud , i think i be the only one , but actually no , my other 3 friend who have the halo version , 250 hd version , all have the same problem , and you have to put this xbox horizontally which i stronlgy recommend , because the fan on the right side of the xbox be HOT as f \*\* K. when you be play over half hour , after test 3 popular game -lrb- mw2 , gta iv , FORZA 3 -rrb- , they all make my xbox like burn ! first time i finish playing , i be reach to the right cover and want to see what Microsoft have improve on heating , i almost burn my hand ! -lrb- i play 3 hr though -rrb- i be just suprise that the plastic cover do not melt !!! +450 Video_Games NEG 2 the move controller do do what it be suppose to do . when you make a movement with the controller , the game react accordingly . that part work fine . but the other limitation drive I nut . first , you have to go through a calibration at the start of each minigame . not each time you put in the disc , but at the start of each minigame . it do not take a long time , but it be annoy that you have to go through that step . second , the game -lrb- maybe its limitation of the technology -rrb- expect you to stand in one place while you be play the game . during the calibration phase it have you move to a certain square in the field of view of the camera and stay there . if you move away from that location it throw off the motion sense . who stand in one spot while play a video game ? people naturally want to move around . it somewhat ironic that they call the product move , because that be exactly what you can not do . most of the minigame be fun within the limitation of the technology . but they be not really any better than Wii Sports or Wii Sports Resort other than move up to -lrb- not so great -rrb- hd graphic . in the end my brother and I play with this for a couple hour after I buy it and give up on it , and have hardly touch it since . I certainly will not be buy a second controller for another $ 40 . the basic idea of motion gaming might have some appeal , but this implementation be flaw right out of the gate . save you money and get a Wii or Kinect instead . +571 Video_Games POS 5 this be a true 5 star game . huge and worth hundred of hour of exploration . I much prefer it to Oblivion . +168 Video_Games POS 5 if you do not like this game , there be something wrong with you . this be the most creative , artistic , hilarious , and most importantly FUN game I have ever -lrb- and likely ever will -rrb- play . I would recommend this game to anyone . do not listen to the few hater who have post negative review of this game . I would be willing to bet money they and\/or they child be of substandard intelligence . +717 Video_Games POS 4 this game be good as the xbox version . but beware in order to play these game you gonna need a beast of a graphic card . im currently wait for atus 6870 card to come on sale . right now my pc have the intergrated atus hd 4200 which come with the pc . Game run normal but kinda chunky and slow . so gamer get ready to shell out some money for graphic card if you plan to buy this game and gta 4 . but overall voice act be funny and love the big city and jump off building with a parachute . plus if you become a social club member get hang out and play with other who have these game thanks rockstar . +875 Video_Games POS 5 what can I say that have not be say ? great add-on to one of the best game ever ... be prepare to neglect spouse , kid , pet , work , etc. . . ; -rrb- +396 Video_Games POS 4 I have be die to get my hand on this game for a long time and jump when I see Amazon have it . just as I expect its similar to the Munchables on the wius . Gameplay : when you start the game you be place in a training level that allow you to get use to the control and use the Katamari . Trust I you 'll need it . it take I awhile to get use to control the Katamari and even though i finish the game it still fill a bit akward at time . you move by tilt both anologue stick in the same direction . the anologue stick be gonna be use for just about everything and will take time to get use to . it can get annoying becaise as the Katamari get bigger it get harder to control depend on the Princes stamen . run into object you can not pick up cause you to loose item . the quick turn will become you best friend for level where there be ton of huge object . another thing that annoy I be when I get big I end up get stick in narrow spot make navigation a b \*\*\*\* expecially in the city level . after awhile I learn how to avoid these problem . it do take time to get use and some level of skill . once use to it the control become pretty simple . Story : the story of the game basically go like this . you play as the Prince who be send to earth to roll up object in a speare like object call a Katamari . you be do this because you father , the king of the cosmos , accidently destroy they all -lrb- the prickxd -rrb- . the big ball of object you pick up will becaome either Stardust , a Star , or even a constellation . you be give a time limit in just about every level to pick up as many object as you can or as many of a particular object . its pretty straight foward . the level I have the most trouble with , and I be happy there only two of they , be the Ursa Mijor and Tarus level . I hate these level with a passionxd you have to pick up just one of a particular object and more time than none you 'll get a big katamarus and end up pick up a small bull or bear make all you hard work for nothing -rrb- . -lrb- you get the best score if you pick a huge version of the object , but the world be scatter with they of different size . if you pick up one you do not want by accident it automatically end . that be a pain in ass . graphic : the graphic be nothing special , but thier not bad either . everything in the game look like toy . I would not say lego , but some type of toy similar to lego . I actually enjoy check out the scenario . I never play anything that look the way this game look . music : whoever make this game music be evilXD if you play this game prepare to hear these track in you sleep ! I find myself relax and hum to the jazzy tune it play ! I do not know japenese , but it do not stop I from try to sing along to the musicXD length : the game be really , really short . you could finish it within a few hour , but there alot of replayability if you want to find all the present , object , make the biggest star you can , and unlock other thing . there also a two player mode , but i can not say much about it because I currently have noone to play it with -lrb- I be the last child in the housexd -rrb- . it have its flaw , but Katamari Damacy be a really addicting and fun game once you get into it . Thier be even moment where I laugh because there be some amusing object and peaple in the game you collect . the King himself serve as some good comic relief too . I just wish it be longer . its not for hardcore player but its good if you just want to sit back and casually play a game like I . I highly recommend it . +550 Video_Games NEU 3 aside from the bug -lrb- which at the time i buy this game be many -rrb- it be a good game . think the expansion have make it more enjoyable . though i do prefer fallout 3 more . +893 Video_Games POS 5 I do not know what people be complain about , this be the first time that we see a non `` save the world from the ancient evil '' type story . although I admit that strip away some feature from DA : o be a bad idea for Bioware , there some clear step forward like intertaction between party member , lack of clear good or evil char and many more be definetly a plus in my book ! +927 Video_Games POS 5 Nintendo d have a lot to offer with its wide array of game available . there be plenty of title for casual gamer , the usual list for the hardcore or typical gamer , but more so , a third category in learn software , which be why I purchase the d . Games like Brain Age , Brain Age 2 , and Ubisoft 's assortment of my \*\*\* coach game plus numerous other title , d be not only fun but educational . along with the Wii , Nintendo have definitely get the formulum down in make system that appeal to everyone . +553 Video_Games POS 5 I buy this game for my teenage son . I figure they would like it . they do but so do I !!! I have so much fun and it be a great workout too . once you get through the tutorial you finally get to fight different opponent . the tutorial be key because you have to learn to move a certain way in order to hit you opponent . once I learn the move I have soooo much fun . I work out but I have add this game to my workout program . what make it so great be that it be fun so you do not think about the fact that you be exercise . you literally move every muscle in you body . I hate work out so this be a great alternative . Ladies , if you be look for a fun alternative to work out give this game a try . it be like take a kickboxing class at the gym but way more fun . you do not have to worry about technique or look silly . just get up and get move ! my son actually cheer I on ! LOL +973 Video_Games NEG 1 I be not comment on any specific company here . but my good deal on a remote turn out to be for a DUPLICATE and not the ORIGINAL FROM MICROSOFT . there be a big difference in quality , atleast with my piece . I should have buy a use MICROSOFT remote rather than a new duplicate . please CONFIRM before you buy +138 Video_Games POS 5 this be Nancy Drew game # 14 . you be Nancy once again , and this time you be in Paris . you be work for a world-famous clothing designer , Minette , who have conceal herself behind a mask and will not tell anyone what be behind it . she have be act very weird lately and have be provoke by anonymous , threatening letter , phone call , and paint bomb . it be up to you to try to find out what happen to cause all of these odd phenomenon . as you journey into the game , a new mystery awaken : in World War two , a lady hide many artwork and nobody know where they be . people have think that she steal they , but nobody know for sure . she recently die and she name have not be clear . can you , Nancy Drew , figure out what really happen ? I recommend this game , but it be a extremely hard Nancy Drew game . do not buy it if you be a beginner -lrb- I have solve a couple of mystery , and I still have to go online for hint -rrb- . on the other hand , it be not as scary as the other game -lrb- altough the concept of a lady conceal behind a mask be -rrb- so if you have a runaway imagination , this be the one to buy . I think this , like all of the other Nancy Drew game , be wonderful ! +409 Video_Games POS 5 I will start by say that I do not play rpg 's whatsoever . this game be outstanding in many way . the landscape be stunning , the quest -lrb- both minor and major -rrb- be entertaining , character be interesting , city be bustling , and combat be engage . I recommend this game to the absolute fullest and I promise you that you will get you money 's worth . for 60 dollar you get a game that can actually be play infinitely as the game generate new quest that will take you to area you might not have be to yet . there be some moment of lag and object move through each other but these be minor , minor thing that take nothing away from this incredible experience . please buy this game , you will not regret it . +471 Video_Games POS 4 Nancy Drew Danger on Deception Island be very intreging and mysterious . it be not to easy and it be not to hard . it be very well do and do not bear you at all ! I , personally think that it could be scary at time but that the whole point right !? 2 thumb up ! +689 Video_Games POS 5 first time play both these game , I enjoy they very much . GOW I be simply amazing with Pandora 's temple . very well do . GOW II be a great game but loose some of the luster that GOW I have . however , GOW II do prepare you for the highly anticipate gowiius -lrb- which I can not wait for -rrb- . either way , this be a steal . two great , great game at a reasonable price . enjoy . +982 Video_Games POS 5 it be easy to use , cheap and funny , my son learn to play very quickly and modify he previous game offer new alternative for entertaiment and hour of pleasure . the code be provide by the web . I recommend you . +896 Video_Games POS 5 Works wonderful and at a great price . have for 2 month now and still not a issue yet ! bring one set and be so impressed , come back and bring a second set ! +63 Video_Games NEG 1 I puchase this product so that I could download Netflix from Market place . I have trouble with it from day one , and have not be able to resolve the issue . the red light stay on solid and then it go out and its own . my XBOX be not the issue , it work fine with everything else . very disappoint . +510 Video_Games POS 4 so far this work as good as the headset that come with the xbox360 . nothing special , but worth the price . +615 Video_Games POS 5 Llego en el tiempo establecido sin problema , lo recomiendo . ha sido una buena experiencia en cuanto a la compra de refiere . +996 Video_Games POS 5 I have never play any of the previous uncharted game in this series before . so uncharted 3 be my first encounter in the series . I rent the game free due to a major rental chain 's promotion , and finish it within that time frame . I really like it and I go out a buy a copy so I can play it again later . this be a great game , right from the begin it have I hook with the character and the story . one major complain about this game from other who -lrb- mostly critic -rrb- have play those previous entry in the series , be that they be mostly alike in term of gameplay . but due to the fact that I have never play any other uncharted game before , it be a fresh experience to I , and interesting enough I think it work out well and be a major factor to how much I enjoy it . the graphic - be beautiful in this game , I especially like any sequence that show the arabic sandy environment and that be include the game menu of course lol , character model and texture be impressive . the Audio - and I want to say particularly the soundtrack give you a sense of grandeur , at the same time not over the top , and there be no dull moment , all in all the soundtrack make the whole experience very enjoyable , I have to give it to Naughty Dog , the sound design in this game alone bump the game production value up several level , it be like watch a movie , whether that be a good thing or not . the Gameplay - be just about right . before get the game I be worry about there be not much to do in this game gameplay wise , i.e. I be worry too much qte , not enough thing to do with the character , because all the game press review inevitably complain about this one way or the other . but have play it myself , it really be not a issue , in fact , the very first time Drake get in the fight I be so pump up by all the action that be go , just the way nd implement the whole mechanism be perfect , I be hooked immediately . I do not know if there be a demo for this game on PSN , but I think in order to judge whether the gameplay style be for you , you just need to try it out yourself . the Story - be very good , there be good character personality , development , and surprisingly good act from the voice actor , witty comment and stuff really make these character come to life . I really like this aspect of the game , a definite highlight . as I state above , after the free rental , I buy the game lol , and I buy uncharted 2 , and finish that as well . I do not regret for the fact that I do not finish they in release order , I can definitely say if you play uncharted 2 before , uncharted 3 will play similar , uncharted 3 be just a more refine experience w \/ slight change to gameplay , and I can definitely see where the complain be from , because personally even though I like uncharted 2 , I do not enjoy it as much as I do for uncharted 3 , and maybe I be in minority here , but I be so glad I do not play they in order , because I ruin uncharted 2 experience instead of uncharted 3 , I just like the location that Drake venture in 3 instead of 2 , -lrb- spoiler -rrb- I just like all the sandy color palette instead of the jungle theme in 2 . -lrb- \/ spoiler -rrb- and I must say you do not have to play they in order , the story in 3 itself stand alone very well , and all the character -lrb- the major one -rrb- have sufficient introduction on they own , so you do not feel the two previous title be pre-requisite in any sort of way , ok , maybe I hear you will miss some joke every now and then , but for I , still great . however the write in 2 be still worth it to play it at least once . all in all , I highly recommend this game , it be certainly a very well design game in every aspect , the production value on this game be impressively high . game play itself be pretty linear , it be no dark doul , but it be not a title you want to miss and you should experience at least once . a top 3 game for I from 2011 , Naughty Dog I salute you . +531 Video_Games POS 5 this game be fantastic , do not get I wrong . the graphic be amazing in high definition -lrb- and standard definition they be great as well -rrb- and it have a very half-life 2 feel to it -lrb- though I have hear differently from many people -rrb- . the gameplay last about 5-10 hour depend on what you do in gameplay . you can complete gameplay in three different mode , and they be all fun to do and most people complete all three mode . you can complete this with a partner or with a partner online . it be fun playing coop online and provide a better experience -lrb- plus easier to complete the harder level difficulty the game provide -rrb- . the online have flaw and deficiency that hurt the overall quality of the game , in my opinion . the host for a online server can not change any host option unless he\/she close down the server -lrb- therefore kick everyone out to the main game menu -rrb- and restart the server . provide for a huge hassle . also , there be not enough online playable map and the only mode you can play be just a `` team battle '' -lrb- I will steal cod3 term -rrb- which make it very boring after a while . there be very few option on the multus player menu and the refresh screen to load the server take about 15 seconds to load . it may not sound a lot , but when you be excite to play it cause from a lot of frustration . the graphic be FANTASTIC . the player , building , scenery , and graphical visual all seem real and be the best graphic I have ever see on any game . it be that amazing . this game be a must-have for all xbox 360 owner . simply put . +277 Video_Games POS 5 my mom be 60 yr old and just love this xbox 360 game ... go to show the classic game never die no matter how its play ... get buy !!! +536 Video_Games POS 5 great controller responsive no bothersome wire always connect to the xbox with no problem at all . +752 Video_Games POS 5 I have not play the single player mission yet , but play the bf3 multi-player have be a blast . I have not go back to COD mw3 since . +246 Video_Games POS 4 this product be great for get the full flight experience . if turn up the weather scenery and graphic airport weather and the water look almost as high quality as flight simulator x. the only thing that I be bume about be no concord !!! . I think that if its go to say 100 year of flight the concord should be in there . the plane selection be very good though with plane rangee from the wright flyer to the boeing 747 400 also lot of airline to choose from ! . tip go to denver new tokyo airport narita I think and princess julianna international airport those be some high detail airport . overall this be a very good product . +688 Video_Games POS 5 I love secret Agent Barbie . usually I think of Barbie doll as something for younger girl because some older girl seem to think of Barbie as lame or dumb or something , but not always because I do like she . anyway , this game be so cool ! Barbie be a secret agent , and the game be so fun from the start ! it start out on a plane , where Barbie go in training to learn all these different move like roll and jump . Barbie , be Barbie , use cool gizmo and gadget that look a lot like makeup . for example , to sneak past guard without they catch she or not let she by , she take out some powder that be like foundation or blush and blow it in the person 's face to where he can not see for a moment but cough . she record private conversation use a lipstick I think it be , and she wear these pink sunglass type thing that enable she to see secret code and combination . she travel to exotic place like Paris , France and somewhere in Japan , also New York ; she always go by plane and land by parachute ! she choose different clothes and outfit to wear and there be different mode to play-action be one . she have a robotic puppy , too . she also have a friend who talk to she a lot by a certain spy gagdet thing , who just happen to be in a wheelchair ! it be funny , all the guard dude look and sound the same . sometimes Barbie can get a little annoying by say the same thing over and over , and the stuff can be frustrating by be challenging . Barbie 's mission include find some thief who be make a invisible suit which Barbie get to put on ! the theif steal special dye from some plant and clothes I think from a designer friend of Barbie 's , -lrb- who I think be Theresea -rrb- . anyhow , this game be soooo really cool and a must-buy for girl this product would interest ! I have not play it in a while though . +506 Video_Games NEG 2 it be definitely a cinematic game , but that be its biggest downfall . it be impossible to simply pick-up-and-play this game ; be ready to dedicate at least a hour to this game if you hope to play for twenty minute . for those look for a game , and not a movie , buy a game , instead of metal Gear solid 4 . it be that easy ! +398 Video_Games POS 5 pokemon Crystal be the BEST game Nintendo have release for the Gameboy Color System ! it be the first pokemon game that allow player to choose whether they want to play as a boy or a girl trainer !! this be something Nintendo should have do before ... anyway , Crystal have the best animation of any pokemon Gameboy game I have see too , and it only work for Gameboy Color . although this game have not be release in the usa or Canada to date , I have play the japanese version . even without full understanding of the game I have fun play it ... graphic , color , storyline , pokemon to catch ... it be all fantastic ! buy pokemon Crystal today and you wo not be sorry ! you 'll have a blast ! -rrb- +161 Video_Games POS 5 this be a great addition to the sims3 collection . this software add so much extra excitement to the game . this add so many option and direction to go ... ea be the best . +947 Video_Games NEG 2 I be a huge fan of mass effect and play first 2 game plus read all the book and love they . even after many year both mass effect 1 and 2 be on my hard drive until i purchase and play mass effect 3 . Game play be great , graphic be pretty decent , voice acting be superb as usual , but that be where the great thing end and disappointment start . not to get into too many detail ... game write could have be much better . most of the character conversation consist of simple question and blunt and cliche response -lrb- joke compare to first two installment -rrb- . which bring I to the absolutely disappointing end , I mean horrible dissapointing ending , I mean extremely horrible dissapointing ending , it be like compare Matrix -lrb- the movie -rrb- to Matrix 3 . I be a mature gamer who can tolerate some distasteful writing but this ... this be beyond distasteful ... the whole mass effect plot break down , crash and burn in last 15 min of game play , it feel like you just change to a different game . I uninstall all 3 game and wish i have never purchase mass effect 3 so I could still have some good memory about this franchise . +413 Video_Games POS 5 this headset I have have for year ... fantastic . . they still hold , no problem at all the sound Quality over the x-32 be so much better ... as where I can hear footstep from a mile away with these headphone I can barley hear anything with the x-32 ... these may be a slighty more expensive , but trust I they be the better product +457 Video_Games POS 4 this game have the potential to be very good , and on the other system I be sure it be so , but for the Wii the control degrade from full enjoyment . for example , you use the wiimote to change you view and shoot , while you use the nunchuck to walk and strafe . the jerky motion of the wiimote , which be difficult to properly stabilize , give the player the impression that they be a one-legged , drunken monkey , all the while try to peg scream german . if you buy this game , do not buy it for Wii ! +963 Video_Games POS 5 Works great for my 360 at first think it be go to be a knock off or something like that , but be deliver really fast & be a authentic Microsoft product and way cheaper then buy it at a retail spot . I recommend this product to any gamer that be into clearer picture for there gaming experience . +80 Video_Games POS 4 load of fun and amazingly realistic if ... you have the hardware . I have a core 2 duo 2.14 mhz , a 7900 graphic card with 512mb of memory , 2gb of 800mhz memory , a fairy high-end motherboard and this simulator run fairly well . it still can not run at highest setting without slow down to a unusable crawl , so do not even bother to order it if you have anything less than the above . this be the only application that ever make I feel my computer be seriously underpowered . but I do not play high-end game , either , I be sure if I do I would have the same experience . so if you have the stuff , go for it . it be great . +247 Video_Games POS 5 I buy this game for my 8 year old son , who do not like to exercise . we have a great time play this game together and it be definitely a very good exercise as well -lrb- to the point of sweating and be out of breath -rrb- . I highly recommend this game . +326 Video_Games POS 5 I do not know about you , but PS controller give the worst blister know to man . I finally find this one , which not only do not give blister , it be wireless ! best of both world ! +338 Video_Games POS 5 if you be go to buy a Dreamcast , you should probably make this you first game . very fun and fast gameplay , and interesting storyline . you explore in huge area call adventure stage to find action sage , where you destroy enemy and complete one of the three objective . the first one ussually be to get to the end of the stage , second , do that with 50 ring usually , and third , complete the stage in the time limit . this , of course , be as Sonic . there be 5 other character to unlock along the way with different objective for the stage . also , there be a virtual pet part that you can feed they and do other thing , then put the on you memory unit to play with separately . this provide hour of fun . the graphic in this game be stunning , and the music be awesome and set the mood in the stage . this be a great game . +43 Video_Games NEG 2 it be amazing to I that when the original Pac-Man come out in the early eighty . it be house in a eight-foot tall console . now that original game can be hold in you hand with three other variation . anyway , unless you be already a fan of the game , I would not bother . to make the character large enough to be easily recognizable , they have to scroll the rest of the board , which make strategy very difficult . in addition , the Tetris knockoff they include be just that ... a knockoff , and next to worthless . +728 Video_Games POS 4 for the xbox 360 version so i be at about a level 38 or so . I have deal with the numerous glitch that come up . I have clear ton of dungeon , be chase out of town by guard , kill a ton of dragon , and get some follower . all this be great fun . overall the game be great and more than worth the money . my only qualm be that the game do get a little monotonous . after many hour of play it seem like you be pretty much do the same thing over and over . which be not entirely a bad thing , depend on what those thing be . but a person can only clear out so many dungeon and slay so many dragon before it become too easy and kinda boring . the load every time you enter\/exit a building or new corridor in a dungeon be pretty annoying as well . but consider how large this game be and how much stuff have to load when you change scenery like that , i can understand and let it go . great game , very addicting , keep you just interested enough to want to keep play despite be a little monotonous at time . +556 Video_Games POS 5 be the best choice over all . just what i expect , the kinect really , be the future bring to you hand , i recomend it +4 Video_Games POS 4 I get this game on the first day . I be so excited since i love the first one -lrb- except for the final drive mission -rrb- . it be gameplaywise it have really evolve , which be a good thing . you can now jack the covenant vehicle with `` right timing '' . also they get rid of the health meter , another good thing . all in all i love it . but that doa not mean it be perfect . Let 's move on ahead to the `` not so good '' part . there be a lot of glitch in the fmv sequence of the game . some object pop in & out . and , `` why would i wanna play as a arbiter ? '' . that part totally bum I out . +921 Video_Games NEG 1 I be excite to get this unit so that I would not have to always change out which system I have hook up in my little office on my little tv . the system work great , mostly . although I do notice some glitch , it be good enough to say that it be justify in price . good thing there be controller port for each system that work , because the include wireless one simply do not work . neither of they . at all . period . I be pretty tick off about that as it show they have no quality control whatsoever . I decide to return it and try again hope I get a work set . I might come back and post a follow up if the next set works\/doesn ' t work . +444 Video_Games POS 4 call of duty black op be the 5th cod installment for the PS3 . while it have its moment of great fun and entertainment , it just seem to be lack a little bit when compare to the Modern Warfare game . while I have hear mixed opinion of the game , from its lack in graphic compare to MW to the enjoyment of a older war -lrb- but not WWII old -rrb- , I be not sure what to expect . after play the game through on single player , I find all of the aforementioned statement to be accurate . the time frame be great . while I love the MW game , and will always enjoy a good WWII game , it be nice to be able to play a game set during lesser covered war and time period . this time open the door for different weaponry , both arms\/chemical weapon and military grade vehicle , as well as differ approach to historical event and method of interrogation . all of these area be welcome in a market that have be quickly saturate with fp military game . the game be graphically sound . sure it be not up to par with mw , but do all game really need to be ? the entertainment factor more than make up for what be very good graphic any way . character , weaponry , and environment all have great detail . the game 's biggest downfall , in my opinion , be the fact that it take place through memory during a less-than-friendly interrogation conduct by unknown person . this be exactly what ea 's battlefield 3 have do more recently . it be not the past tense time frame that bother I but rather the interrogation between each level . it be very repetitive and between catch the player off-guard in the begin to deliver a shocking ending , it become little more than a dull load-time in the middle . overall , this be a good game . if you be a single player person and do not have any cod yet , I would suggest MW 1 and\/or 2 . if you be online focus , this be probably a better choice as it be newer . either way , it be worth playing . +981 Video_Games NEG 1 I consider buy this game but change my mind after read about the onerous DRM . +354 Video_Games POS 5 for the past 6 month , I have be alternate between just Dance , just Dance 2 and Michael Jackson the experience . this game be the perfect follow up to that training as it challenge I while also build upon the dance skill I have acquire . love it ! +899 Video_Games POS 5 before I play this game I play SMT : Nocturne . I be impress with the game mechanic , as well as delighted with the difficulty of the game -lrb- unlike ff game , it be possible to be wipe out by even low level monster if you be not careful -rrb- . so , when I see another game sport the SMT engine be come to the ps2 I reserve it immediately . frankly I find this game to be better than SMT : n in most respects . true you do not get to create a `` army '' of monster as in SMT : n -lrb- probably one of the better feature of SMT : n -rrb- , but you do have a greater control of the growth of you character than you do in SMT : n -lrb- you no longer loose forever the skill that you replace -rrb- . so here be a breakdown of the game : plot : 4\/5 very good plot , somewhat confusing , but most of we who play japanese game and read Mangas be use to be keep in the dark about what be really go on -lrb- as well as spending much of the earlier moment confuse as hell ... big-o be a great example of this -rrb- . much like Xenosaga , there be a lot of information available that can be use to help figure thing out , but you have to pay attention and be ready to think a little outside the box . the only thing I dislike be the use of the `` silent protagonist '' . I hate this technique with a passion , where the main character be only give choice every once and a while , and in the meantime do not say a single word . some of you may be familiar with this technique , as it be be use in a lot of game , such as Chrono trigger -lrb- and cross as well -rrb- , SMT : n , the breath of fire game , and a couple of the Suikoden game -lrb- the first one for sure -rrb- . the reason I dislike this technique ? it cause the main character to be flat , shallow , and pretty much iconic . basically , it prevent a lot of possible character development for who should be the focus of the plot . but with the silent Protagonist character , you can only learn about the main character through other , and the other be of course allow to reach a depth the main character can not obtain . in SMT : dd the main character `` Serph '' be the allow only to reach a state that I would call `` robotic . '' there be a couple of moment where he be portray as have more depth , but those be flee and overall you be leave with a character who seem to lack a personality . this aside , the other character be develop fairly well , with enough left unknown to merit the sequel . graphic : 3\/5 good . this be make stright up use the SMT engine from nocturne . they even keep most of the demon from nocturne . the background and dungeon be somewhat drab , but that be do intentionally because of the setting in which the game take place . the only negative side to the graphic be that sometimes the resolution be somewhat low , which can lead to problem with position . sound : 5\/5 excellent . this be one of the few success in voice act I have see in a dub video game recently . while the voice acting be not the best in the world , it at least portray the character well , and the line be not give with a constant tone of wooden indifference . there be a couple of voice that do not quite hit the mark , but the core cast be very well do . the music be excellent , many of the tune fit the atmosphere , and the introduction reel by Etero Anime fit the intro scene . control : 5\/5 Great . the control be almost exactly as they be in SMT : N. The battle system use the same attack number determination as well . most control be straight forward , although the battle system be more complex for those use to ff turn base style combat . but if you pay attention and read up on the combat , it become second nature after a while . novelty : 2\/5 below average . this be the one low point of the game . it be unfortunate that they choose to keep so many of the monster from SMT : N. it make the game feel more like a mod than a actual self enclose game . by keep so much of the SMT : n system they pretty much lose all ability to consider the game a novel creation . although dd be a great game , if you have play nocturne , you 'll find yourself say `` hey wait a minute I have see this before '' quite a bit . the plot be quite original , as be many of the item and some new skill . but for the most part , it feel like you be play a game with 40 % new material and 60 % recycled material . overall : 5\/5 it be a great game despite a few flaw . if you like SMT : N then you 'll love this game . if you hate SMT : n or find it frustratingly difficult , then you 'll find this game much the same . +490 Video_Games POS 5 this game be one of the best I have ever play hreat graphic , storyline , I could just go on and on , I have rcommend this game to all my friend and would do the same for just about anybody +179 Video_Games POS 5 the add weight that the dual shock add to the controller make it feel like you use a nice controller and not a cheap piece of plastic . the battery be rate at 300 ma vs just 30 ma for the six axis controller that come with my PlayStation . the rumble help you feel like you a part of the game and not just a spectator . +795 Video_Games POS 4 both ea Sports active and more Workouts be great for give you a lot of potential workout and keep you motivate . I have find the 60 day challenge workout for the more workouts version be more challenging than the 30 day challenge workout for the original . I also love that they add a warm up and cool down to each . my favorite cardio routine on the original be the step cardio boxing and the dancing . on the newer version , the squash be a blast . I keep want to do it over and over to see how far I can get without miss the ball . I also like some of the obstacle course workout and the run now have a view vs. just a track as in the original . here be some of the thing I wish they have do differently : be able to combine workout in both version to create the custom workout allow `` replacement '' workout in the challenge -lrb- I wish this be in the first as well -rrb- . for example , I have trouble with some of the high impact move due to joint\/back problem and large natural breast that bounce even with a good bra -lrb- i.e. the skip -lrb- jump rope -rrb- and stride jump -rrb- I wish they would allow you to choose a alternate workout in the challenge vs. just delete it so you still keep the same time , calorie , etc. . this be my biggest complaint . finally , it be annoy that they keep repeat the `` watch I '' in the warm up exercise . once you have do it once , that should go away just like the video in the regular workout . overall , both workout be a great value for the money and more workout just build on the great start from ea Sports active . the controller recognition\/response seem better as well . +961 Video_Games NEG 2 the xbox 360 afterglow controller be not worth the money . it have a different feel to it than the original xbox 360 controller . my original xbox 360 controller break , and i have to get a new one . I see that this be only $ 30 at Gamestop . do not be fool by the cheap price . the controller be more bulky than the original , and it almost feel like you play a PS3 controller . the only thing that cool about this controller be the tiny led light install into the hardware of the controller . they can stay on , light up when the controller vibrate , sort of make a strobe light effect , or u can just turn it off . if you play a first person shooter , take mw2 for example , you will find that the right joystick be not as sensitive as the original , or do it move as calmly as the original . if you play GTA iv , the left trigger will aim down the sight , but wont lock onto target unless you really push the trigger down . it be the same for the right trigger . so what do I think of this product ? I think if microsoft make it the controller from the same body design as the original xbox 360 controller , it would be better . if you need a replacement controller , or just wanna get another one , -lrb- unless you into LED light in a controller -rrb- just buy a white controller . do not waste you money with this , it be not worth it +839 Video_Games POS 4 I would recommend this to anyone who like any d&d; game or medieval game as this game be the reason most be the way they be . +663 Video_Games POS 5 it be a great game and you get 2 cd , 4 game in all . its like the movie you search for clue . there be 3 level which make it more fun , my 8 year old daughter have fun . it can be play by 5 to 9 year . +675 Video_Games POS 5 I love this game and I be very impressed on how fast it be deliver and it be in good condition . +167 Video_Games NEU 3 first , before you even play the Sims 2 on the Mac , download and install the official patch . it make a world of difference , and correct some major fault . the game as first release be almost a beta version , but the patch bring it to a decent first release . -lrb- I be hope for another future patch to fine tune the game . -rrb- lot of gamesite have a list of mirror where you can get the patch . -lrb- ... -rrb- you can get recolor of object that greatly enhance the game , and also some new mesh object , as well as walls\/floors , clothes and mod -lrb- many mod work on the Mac , although they be design for the pc -rrb- . Censor patch do not work on the Mac , yet , although they be available for the pc . you will only be able to download a total of less than 8230 combined file in you download folder -lrb- that include mod , object , and walls\/floors\/terrain paint -rrb- -- more break the game -- so shop wisely for item that give maximum gameplay . Clothes go into the SavedSims folder , and you should have less than 1000 item -lrb- which also include all sim character in the game , because they be save there -rrb- in that folder , and probably substantially less on slower mac . test all download , ten or so at a time , -lrb- especially clothes , because some be problematic -rrb- before you put they into you actual game . then , check out website like tsr -lrb- the Sims Resource -- it be a pay site , but one of the largest , with some very good object -rrb- and other large site . once you have do all that , the game be \* very \* fun to play , and addictive . it be not nearly as fun right out of the box . -lrb- download be you friend . : - -rrb- -rrb- -rrb- I have get the Sims 2 on a Powerbook -lrb- g4 -rrb- 133 mghz with 1 gb internal memory . it barely work with the maximum download , as list above . it be playable and fairly smooth , but really slow , on medium graphic game setting . the best way to play be on smaller lot with somewhat uncomplicated house . ideally , the download should not be max out -lrb- if you can live with less -rrb- . and if you have less than a g4 133 , be prepare for choppy play when you have download . choppy play ruin the game for most people . Sims 2 be a game I would not want to live without , so I would probably put up with it on my slower Mac , just to have the game at all . but anyone with less that a mid to upper level g5 should be prepare for a bit of a disappointment in game play . I sincerely doubt my Powerbook will be able to run any future expansion pack . I be currently play Sims 2 University on a laptop pc and there be simply no comparison in game play , and seemingly no limit to download . the pc version be head and shoulder above the port version for the Mac , and that be a shame . it be not that way for Sims 1 , where the Mac version play better than the pc . hopefully , Aspyr will make another patch for the Mac version , and bring it up to speed . if they do not , it will only get worse with each expansion pack . +308 Video_Games NEU 3 okay , the battery it self , AMAZING at LEAST double the battery life . only problem ; the top two prong that hold it onto the system just randomly fall off one at a time over the two week I get to use it for . . +465 Video_Games POS 5 excellent Wii controller with integrated motion plus . black finish look very stylish . come with battery and latex protector . worked very well . +272 Video_Games POS 5 my 8 , 6 , and 4 yr old all love and can play this game with confidence . some of the other ds game be more difficult and my younger child become more frustrated . the Super Mario game be a perfect game for young child ! +121 Video_Games NEG 1 as long as I have to install origin this game will never enter my pc . over 50 $ for buy ea spyware - this be a bit of a stretch . Watch out for the other review and get a idea , what datum origin gather in detail ... tax return file , photo , messenger program . no way ! +181 Video_Games POS 5 I have play many many RPG game my favorite catagory of gaming . this game absolutely be grand . it have hour and upon hour of game play . the side quest and the extra 's be never end , the graphic be stupendous . I have never play any of the other final Fantasy game but be intrigue by this one . do not miss it or you miss the best rpg game out to date ! +533 Video_Games NEU 3 the game be kinda corny in a nice sense . . not sophisticated but good for the younger crowd . the graphic be date . +631 Video_Games POS 4 I get this game after purchase and become adicted to Pharoah . c iii be as fun as pharoah . however , you must be a little more careful about fire and the colapse of building in c-iii . game be very similar to Pharoah of course , but do not matter . the graphic be good and the quality of game play be also just as good . the scenario be not nearly as difficult as ol Pharoah , but still I enjoy this game very much . +145 Video_Games POS 5 these memory card have so much room its not even funny . they be slick look , have eight time the amount of room a ps1 card have , and you can store you ps1 game on it . this be totally worth the -lrb- price -rrb- . +280 Video_Games POS 5 very addictive game . lot of fun , so far this be my favorite game . the music go quite well with the different competition . great deal for $ 20 . +696 Video_Games POS 5 i briught this game so when my niece come over they would be occupy but once i start play it i become a little kid again this game be fun and i be a animal lover i would recommend this game if you dont already have it +250 Video_Games POS 5 mass effect 3 , be a incredible accomplishment in the video game arena . no other game series have create such emotion from it be fan . incredible graphics\/animation\/sound Production\/Music . everything be world class . so you may be ask yourself `` self . . why be not this rate 5 star on Amazon !! '' the answer be simple really , people have a hard time let go of the incredible world that Bioware have create . once you complete the adventure you realize the series be over . . and you have to go back to the real world , or better yet a message board to complain on . Bioware have already announce a enhance epilogue type dlc . support Bioware , buy this game . you will not be sorry . +455 Video_Games POS 4 I get this game and it be great , but it have only 1 drawback . it have a very slow load time due to the large map . besides that , its alot of fun . +423 Video_Games POS 4 this be a good game , but I have a few reccomendation and I have find a few flaw . here be a list of they . Mr. Clanky - it be cool that you unlock he after you win the backyard world series but you can ` t put he on you normal team , in fact you can only use he in a single game ! player - they be basicly good but they skill rating be a little off on a few of they , for instance a person who the game say be great at batting , like Barry Bonds can really be pretty bad at it . trading - I haven ` t get far but I be pretty confident that there be not and will not be a trading option , and i think that it would be cool if you could trade with other player or the computer . skill - it would be nice if you player skill rating increase with the experience they get from game . graphic - the graphic be ok but not anything special . I think this be a good game and that be why I give it four star , so I can ` t wait to get the upcome version . +442 Video_Games POS 4 seriously , for $ 9 it be really not that bad . the control stick be stiff and the l1 button need a bit more pressure . also it do not feel like the l2 and r2 button be pressure sensitive . other than that it work pretty decently on my PS3 . I have play this controller on my pc for hour and do multiplayer on my PS3 for hour as well and though my friend also feel the control stick be stiff it still work well for he as well . as a second controller or a backup controller it work pretty well , work decently on pc as well and take about 3 or 4 seconds to automatically install the driver require . also , the picture give be not exactly what the controller look like . the face button have normal shape on they just like the Sony brand controller . +356 Video_Games POS 5 the console , especially the Kinect , be too good to believe . I be plan to buy a Wii , but Wii be nothing compare to kinect controller-less game experience . even my parent , who have not play any game ever , enjoy so much on the Kinect . plus , I have start watch almost all the content on tv via Xbox : Netflix , Youtube , Hulu , ESPN , leave my comcast cable connection pretty much idle these day . this be my most satisfied purchase in recent time . +194 Video_Games POS 5 Super Mario 3D Land be the first mario game for the nintendo 3d and i have to say it be my favorite game for my 3d . it be like a mix up of super mario galaxy and new super mario bro. and i just love it . especially since they bring back the tanookus suit . +825 Video_Games POS 5 order this controller as a extra since the xbox we purchase only come with one controller . this one be exactly the same as the high quality controller that come with we xbox . ca not even tell the two apart . Works great and setup be simple . just have to press the learn button on the xbox and turn on the new remote . the xbox find it right away . +169 Video_Games POS 5 I receive the Wii yesterday for my birthday and I be way older than normal child , but I be still a kid at heart ! I have so much fun bowling . Yippee !! I hurt my back -lrb- not with the Wii -rrb- so I could not play any of the other game , darn it . my little family would not let I . while I recuperate these other game be build some great anticipation . as soon as I be feel better , I will be play all of the Wii Sport game and on the hunt for more fun and game ! everyday be a adventure and the Wii just make the adventure better ! Cindy +451 Video_Games NEG 2 i have a high end system with a GeForce 6800 nVidia video card , and the game have many error . at first I have to run the game with low video setting to avoid the `` Directx unrecoverable error '' . then , I have to run it in safe mode to avoid the error . the tech support have many thing to try and be baffle at why the error be still occur on my high end system . about half way through the game the error still come up even in safe mode !! the gameplay be predictable , but still fun at time . I would wait til the price drop to about $ 20 to buy it ... +97 Video_Games NEG 1 Skyrim be basically just like oblivion , if not only because after 50 hour thing get really boring . sure , there be still `` thing to do '' but they be only that -- chore . that say , I do not find it be as fun as oblivion or Fallout 3 . this be because all those game appear on the same console . oblivion come after Morrwind , which be a console generation away , and for that reason its newness compound with the nature of the game and give we great fun , for awhile . now , 6 year later , we be rather desensitize to the technology that make oblivion possible and so skyrim feel like 'd eja vu ' . there be also the fact that the whole lotr mystique have dissappear , which help Morrowind and Oblivion gain they popularity . some of we just grow up . I simply could not help but judge this game to be a fetch-fest . now , if you have never play a Elder Scrolls then I can understand why you would give it 5 star , since this be basically oblivion with a facelift . the graphic be outstanding on the PS3 but the main problem , as everyone know , be the lag . I will not comment any further other than to acknowledge that on PS3 it be persistant after you save file cross the 5 mb threshold and that I have have 4 hard crash , even after the 1.2 patch . in 2006 I be mildly intrigue by oblivion 's story , partly because I be younger but for some reason Skyrim 's seem glib . I be older now but even so the game 's narrative lack any cohesion . the dragon be a anti-climax and that be crucial since the whole story revolve around they . they be not as mysterious as Mehrunes Dagon and seem rather anomalous . there be also no reason to believe they can destroy world when they themselves can be destroy by a few spell or iron arrow . all of oblivion 's deficiency remain . the in-game juridicial system be garbage . pick up a loaf of bread and you will die or get on the wrong horse and die . there be only a handful of class and the best become wear out because of how easy it be to spam smithe with iron dagger . once again there be a entire sub-class know as bandit who just happen to be in place and attack you on sight . never mind that a economy exist in Skyrim and that there be animal everywhere , and thus food and clothing . there be bandit leader and what not , all of which feel thoroughly date . the combat be just as poor as in oblivion . the finishing-move be script and become redundant after only a few hour . the player swing a axe or sword with the same move . good thing be that arrow actually work now . the substance of all the story depend on read journal or book . I find it absolutely impossible to read anything in a videogame , and so this part really fail . good news be that the race look better . the bad be that they do not really matter . I choose to be a high Elf but this have absolutely no bearing on my relation with the Thalmor . they treat I as if I be a Nord . the Nords notice this if you help they but its still meaningless as they suddenly forget you be a elf but still curse elf in general . the Thalmor call I a ` foreigner ' and yet they only recently arrive in Skyrim , home of the Nords . make no sense whatsoever . the same apply to Vampires . I be a vampire and would be instantly attack by other vampire as I roam the tundra , even though these vampire who attack I be get along fine with each other . there be cave fill entirely with vampire , all of whom be have a good time , yet whenever I show up they all gang up on I . this be part of the reason why Elder Scroll game be consider by some critic to be extremely shallow , and frankly they be shallow . read my Fallout 3 review to see my own take on this . the world of Skyrim look fantastic , but it be so big that , as everyone say , the game bog down on PS3 due to its divide memory pool . after you explore enough tomb , you will find that the Dragur be sorely mundane . yet that be also true of the skeleton and what not in oblivion . ultimately , the worse thing be that , due to the story , Skyrim be even more de-centralized than oblivion so that the purpose of the game be `` do stuff '' . if you be a vampire then this be go to get old fast since you 'll have to feed so as to not kill everyone . heck , vampire really have no advantage in this game other than frost resistance . what be worse be that they be be not as many guild or organization as in Oblivion , so the fetch-quest you have to busy yourself with be even more scatter , anomalous and ultimately meaningless . EDIT 1\/23\/2012 I forget to mention something . the old leveling system of Morrowind and Oblivion have be abolish . this both break with tradition and decrease the ceiling of whatever ` skill ' you wish to augment , all of which be trade for a freeder and more moderate manner of leveling . in other word , specialization be go at the expense of rapid increase in skill per level . also , in Skyrim Bethesda have absolutely neutered Magic . one of the thing I enjoy in oblivion be the sheer amount of variability in ` Magic ' . all of that be go in Skyrim and it have be replace with ` spell tome ' where you just open a book and learn a spell . Whats more be that these thing be often sell at exorbitant price . sorely disappointing . +790 Video_Games POS 5 I have have this wius go on almost 2 year now and it still work great . I receive my wius even earlier than expect . I bring this gaming system for my 5 year old but the game seem a little to complicate for she to play on she own so I then bring she a nintendo ds . she have not play with the wius since . so if you be look for something that have more kid friendly game the NINTENDO d be definitely the way to go . she play it almost everday . its great for drive time or keep she busy at home . and they also have great educational game for young kid . but I will say that the wius have be great fun time with friend and family at home . +793 Video_Games POS 5 all u guy who say halo be mediocre and stuff like that be absoulutly crazy ... the game be light year better then halo , not diss it or anything but come on . all u guy who write all that stuff be big complainer . I would give this game and all of its merchendise five million star ... ne way halo rock like no other and if u say gta be better u be insane . +114 Video_Games POS 5 I love this game , it be much more forgiving to newby than the d version and also have the super hard level for the `` expert '' . . with this game and Mario Kart 7 I feel that i have get my money worth out of the 3d . any additional game be now just gravy ! +907 Video_Games NEU 3 if you simply stick the dvd in and go `` click-click-click '' you be go to hate this game . I have a very high-end machine and be get frame rate as low as 1-2 fp ! I be shock ! my system : Geforce 8800 GTS 640mb graphic card e6600 cpu , 4gb mem win xp pro sp2 however , if you scour the web for `` FSX tweak '' and spend the time to carefully adjust the slider and plow through the fsx . cfg file , you will end up with the greatest flight simulator there be ! this be a game that need lot and lot of help to draw out its greatness . Whenever I think about all the work I have have to do to get it to this point , I get really angry at m for not do a better job of customize the software to you hardware -lrb- which they could easily do -rrb- automatically during installation instead of leave all that up to we as the sim community . still , when you finally get it right , the game be soooo sweet that it be pretty easy to get past the hassle . I have have all the msf version since 98 and this be the first one that I have not feel the need to go out and download all sort of third party stuff for . there be enough in the standard package -lrb- although I have buy Acceleration -rrb- to keep I enthused . the only exception to this be FSUIPC . as far as I be concerned , fsuipc4 , by Pete Dowson , be a must . I have always complain that the f flight model just do not feel right . there be a sluggishness to the control and the plane just do not fly stable somehow -lrb- at least that be be my experience -rrb- . fsuipc really improve the flight characteristic of the airplane . I finally decide to spring for purchase fsuipc4 and set up all my control to work through it rather than the game itself . in fact , I just go to the game setting panel and disabled all joystick input ! the result be wonderful ! I can now trim my aircraft precisely and the flight be rock solid . with the release of sp2 -lrb- you get sp2 if you install acceleration -rrb- , frame rate get better and the game behave better in general . sp2 be also a must . here be what I like about FSX : the graphic be fantastic . the terrain look almost photographic and the cockpit and general aircraft graphic be just wonderful . the virtual -lrb- 3-d -rrb- cockpit have arrive . I never use it in fs9 but now I very rarely pop up the 2-d pit as I can see so clearly and have no problem click the hotspot on the VC . atc be greatly improve over fs9 . atc would get so annoying in fs9 that I get to where I do not even want to fool with it . no so in FSX . you no longer get stupid command from controller and thing be much more realistic in that regard . I absolutely love the mission . now , you can fly through hoop , do rescue mission where stuff be blow up all around you , interact with you `` co-pilot '' and change the object of the mission in mid flight , etc. . I be still have a ball go through the mission and purchase the Acceleration pack be largely so I could get some more mission . the selection of aircraft be very adequate in FSX . the helicopter be actually flyable -lrb- for the first time -rrb- in FSX . I have really get hooked on the mission where you fly one of the chopper . I suppose FSUIPC have a lot to do with how much more reasonable it be to fly these thing now . the view system have be improve and be quite reasonable . if you use TrackIR , you will be very pleased with how natural it feel with this game . weather , much better autogen object , more accurate airport , etc. be all huge improvement over what be come before . this be really a great simulation . here be what I do not like about FSX : I have already gripe about FSX 's inability to sense you hardware and set reasonable default . that be just pathetic in my view . it be inexcusable that FSUIPC have to exist . no offense to Pete Dowson and he really great product . it be just that m should provide this as part of the game . I would be embarrass to know that there be a guy make a living `` fix '' the basic flight characteristic of my flight simulator ! this be fundamental . it be a flight simulator after all . I be not a big fan of Rod Machado and all he silliness . Ok , that be a personal thing I know but I just can not deal with try to go through these otherwise useful training mission because of all he ridiculous comment . Enough on that . hopefully you will like Rod and appreciate he `` humor '' more than I do . in fairness , I have go through all the training mission and they be actually quite good . so , in summary , this be really a great flight simulator but require extensive research and configuration to get it to where it be playable . if not for that , this would be a five star product . +614 Video_Games POS 5 I have own and play black op , modern warfare 2 , and previous version of the game . this game be awesome . the graphic put call of duty to shame . the physics and kill streak be more realistic . no lag because there be no host you be depend on . love it ! if you like the arcade feel of first person shooter than stick with cod . if you want something more realistic with awesome graphic and smooth play this be the game for you . +382 Video_Games NEG 2 the only reason I continue to play to story mode of Tron : evolution be to gain the story itself . it set up a critical point that in the story which the movie mention . this be not a game about the movie , but rather a prequel to it . in keep with the movie however , the word be pretty , although very similar and tiresome by a hour in . that be say , that be basically where the positive thing end . the game be you basic `` button smasher '' with little thought behind what you be do . you simply have to figure out which disk to throw at you enemy . that be the extend of the though require for this game most of you time play this game will be spend go back over thing you have do over and over . THe camera angle and poor movement result in you be `` derezz '' far too often , and you will find yourself go repeat the same section of the stage several time until you move ahead . this be not due to a lack of skill amongst any player , but rather the glitchiness of the game itself . this game be a rent at best +579 Video_Games POS 5 everyone have they own version of the ` perfect ' final fantasy game and hence , it be impossible to please everyone . but 13 do a remarkable job in create a FUN RPG , not just a fun ff game . Play it with a open mind , know it be a fun jrpg but not your version of the perfect ff game , you will love it . +392 Video_Games POS 5 quite simply I have no word to describe this game , definitely one of the best I have purchase , thoroughly recommend as you will not regret +152 Video_Games POS 5 this case be great ! if you play game for awhile and you hand cramp from hold you psp , this be for you . it be comfortable and also protect you psp . +81 Video_Games POS 4 double dash be a fun racing game , but like its predecessor , it do not really innovate much or last that long , but its still pretty good . graphic be great and framerate be a solid 60 fp . sound be pretty good , and the game can offer a challenge . do not get this game if you plan to play alone . it be no fun . get it only if you have someone to play with on a regular basis . it be a solid racing title overall , and consider that the gc do not really have a lot of they , it be a lot more appealing . but wait for it to go down to $ 20 before purchase . also try f-zero if you want a lot of speed . +874 Video_Games POS 4 this game rock . I have be play consule base game for year and I put this drive simulator really high on my chart . the drive dynamic with a force feed wheel be pretty great . after install the game get the latest free mod and patch of the internet from free share server . if the game do not have a track , then thier a possibility of find the track at a file server . I have drive on the real world famous Nurburgring race track more time than I can count on my finger and compare to other game with the same track none of they scare I more like the real track then gtr 2 . I own all of the Grand Turismo and both of the forza motorsport and be really happy with this game . the only low be no street car and no after market part . but if you remember this game be base on gt series racing you 'll get over the fact that you favorite street car be not here . get a force feed wheel and get ready to sweet as you keep from wreck you ride . +545 Video_Games POS 4 do not get I wrong . this be a great game . it be very fun . it be just too damn easy to beat . I would recommend rent the game rather than purchase it . unless you can purchase it for $ 4.99 . +72 Video_Games POS 5 I write a review about this game previously , but I still do not understand why people try to insult the ID software programmer . first thing I want to mention be that people can choose to dislike the game , I can respect that , because different people have different opinion since this be a free country ... brother & sister ... but I do not respect people who be call the game be `` stupid '' or `` waste of money '' etc. ... without a reason and understand the game 's true plot , those comment be not respect the ID programmer or the gamer community that respect id software for many year , people really need to try to think about how to provide invaluable feedback . I know people be always compare rtcw with medal of honor or some other game out in the market , but if you think carefully , ID 's previous title be always about shoot and kill and complete objective and it have be that way for many year ... but RTCW be load with a whole new story that deal with twisted science create by the Axis during WWII , be just like the movie `` Indiana Jones-the lose ark ... & the last crusade '' , something that involve with freaky stuff and twisted science ... . . maybe I be such a old timer to bring out movie like that ... . . and medal of honor 's objective be to `` win the war '' . as I say earlier in my previous review , both game have different plot . well anyway ... its a disappointment for RTCW 's fan to hear that ID decide not to release the expansion pack for rtcw call `` enemy territory '' , they have say the other game developer -lrb- business partner -rrb- in england can not meet the deadline where they be busy with serveral project in they hand , and the title will never be out on the market with a tight schedule like that , but they have mention the multiplayer map for `` enemy territory '' be downloadable as a freeware in they official website . . hmmm . . something to play with while you be wait . I be just like the other id fan ... look forward to see that they can wrap up the title in the near future . +672 Video_Games POS 4 just like my title say ; I buy this mainly to get a extra controller . the controller by itself average to be 49.99 just about everywhere . I get this for a nifty deal during black Friday . the game be ok , not my cup of tea . I be more a hardcore\/sports gamer . I also have a xbox 360\/ps3 , but I do enjoy play a lot of Wii title , mainly Mario . however , when my nephews\/nieces\/kids be over they have have a blast with this game . I have have fun with they play as I do not even realize time have fly by . I recently -lrb- date from this post -rrb- , buy the Nintendo Red Wii Limited Edition and I do not have any extra controller . I do not want to play New Super Mario alone , and think I would get this combo pack . you literally get the game for free always on these combo pack , so I think what the heck why not . I do love the fact it do come with the newer Wii Remote Plus . it do come with battery , and the jacket . all you have to do be sync it and you good to go . +620 Video_Games POS 5 the puzzle be fun to work on , the multi-player mode be really slick and it be so much fun try to figure out how to beat each level . and if that be not enough there be the single player mode . which be a very well develop storyline that you go though . with ton of great voice act that really make it come alive , as well as they attention to detail , often if you wonder to the edge of the map and look off at a odd angle in most game thing just look fuzy like you stare off into space , or thing will look more paint when look further past the main area . but such be not the case here . there be a lot of detail put into every part . it really do bring home the feeling of be in such a place also i love how they also make it seem a few time like you have just about get to the end then thing get change up again , and there be a whole new set of plot to work out . while the whole time have a interesting and challenging set of puzzle to work though that be not just tweak rehash of what you do before but have enough new change to keep you have to think about what to do next . +836 Video_Games POS 4 finally a great sonic game after all the disappointing sonic game they make a great one . great graphic especially for the wius , angle be great really fun . the reason I be no give it five star be because they change sonic 's voice . he have have the same voice since 2003 but do not let that stop you from buy this great game . +307 Video_Games NEU 3 more for kid , again its the control I have a problem with , too slow , lol . but it be fun when I compete against my grandkid . +507 Video_Games POS 5 in Mario Kart it be easy to play and there be not only 1 circuit you can do . you can do multi player with somone within 60 foot of you . you can make yourself the only racer so you can try to beat you fastest time . you have a choice of 8 racer . you can pick one of these driver : Mario , Luigi , Peach , Yoshi , Toad , Donkey Kong , Wario , or Bowser . +31 Video_Games POS 5 my daughter be 7 year old . she have autism . take care of a autistic child can be a challenge . once a day i allow she to play with she Nintendo d that I purchase from Amazon on line as long as she have good behavior . I allow she to play for a half hour . I use it as a way to reinforce possitive behavior . the add plus : this be my break time . autistic child sometimes focus on one thing and stay that way . they get really good at that one thing and that be all they want to do or talk about . I be very careful that she only play with it for that half hour each day . it be so easy to use and very portable . a must have for those long car trip or visit to the doctor . my daughter have become very good at she Nintendo d in a short period of time . I love it when she play with it because I get that half hour of uninteruptid time to myself . and that be a blessing to I ! thanks Amazon and thanks Nintendo ! +36 Video_Games POS 5 I have not play a battlefield game since bf2 on the pc . I have switch over to the call of duty series over the last few year and love they . I read some of the glowing review for bf3 and decide to give it a shot and have not be disappoint . I recommend download the hd graphic -lrb- which clock in at around 2gb -rrb- . they be great and they make you feel more immerse in you surroundings . I know people have complain about it take up hdd space , but there be only so much you can fit on a dvd . if you have the 250gb console , this should not be a problem . my only complaint with the game be : 1 - you can not customize you class in between round . I find this annoying because I end up adjust my kit during time I should be play in a round . be it the end of the world , no. . it be something that can be fix though . 2 - not be able jump out of the server you be currently on while in between round . at the end of a round you have to wait until the next round begin before you can quit you current server to join a new one . it take about a minute or so to switch in between map . again a minor complaint but one that can be fix in the future I be sure . I try go back to mw3 but find the run & gun pace a bit play out . I like the `` slower '' pace of bf3 , as well as the xp point bonus -lrb- like give ammo to or reviving\/healing -rrb- you get from interact with you assign squadmate -lrb- if you join one -rrb- . the destructible environment bring another level of play in . tank & rocket can take out wall , car & tree . finally , the weapon customization rock in this game . so many option to choose from . from tactical flashlight , bipod , IR scope to foregrip & underbarrel launcher . this be a must own title ! +243 Video_Games NEG 1 I request this game base on the majority of good review at the time . it be very hard for I to even get it start , it seem to go in circle ask I the same info , and then it want I to work out on Mon and Thurs and it be Tues so I have to figure that out . I then go to the tutorial . the `` instructor '' go from one very easy move of step forward which I could master to step on a more diagonal path , bend you knee and swing you arm all at once without go slowly to figure it out . even though I stand there not move it somehow decide I be do the step correctly and finish . in my opinion the tutorial do not teach you the step . I stop play this game just more confused then I leave my first Zumba class , at least in the class I could copy the person next to I . +421 Video_Games POS 5 Kasey 's review : this game be awesome . he be 11 year old and the first night he play it until 5:00 in the a.m. when he mother have to tell he to go to bed . he love the game . I hope this help ! +228 Video_Games POS 5 this game rock but it be little bit easy but dont get I wrong or anything but the hedge maze be hard but the end be funny . +861 Video_Games POS 5 I buy the game for my boyfriend for christmas . so i still give it five star for fun-ness even tho i never play it . he love it though . +159 Video_Games POS 4 sadly , I have no broadband . therefore , i can not enjo what be probably the best part of this game . however , I have play the campaign , and i can tell you it be a little disapointing . the plot be dumb , and the charactor be thin . through out the entire game , the only threat to you be enemy mech , which pop up more often later , but during the begining it be just point and shoot . the strong point of this game be in the control scheme and the enviornment . almost everything be destroyable , form building to stone pillar and the local fauna . overall , i would only give this game 3 star . but i be allow for benefit of the doubt with the multiplayer thing , and give it 4 . +512 Video_Games POS 5 my son love this game . he have be play it everyday so that mean he really like it . +863 Video_Games POS 5 as a huge Rock Band nerd , I jump on this guitar immediately after the price drop . it come highly recommend from other expert-level player , and do not disappoint . pro - excellent fret action - Strum bar be sturdy and have definite end point -lrb- no `` squishiness '' -rrb- - solid construction - look and feel more like a real guitar con - heavy weight take some get use to for plastic guitar player - Strum bar have small groove on either side that sometimes catch finger - can be difficult to pause with the knob-style START button without break combo - Larger neck can take some get use to for quick finger change of note be the clickiness of the strum bar , which be very distracting during soft part of a song , but very nice for keep tempo on fast strum section . other have say that it be not as loud as the earlier gh controller , which be true , but it be still quite loud . my previous rb guitar of choice be a rb2 strat with a third-party strum bar . it might have the edge on this guitar in term of strict going-for-100 % playability , but this one win out in every other way . +331 Video_Games POS 5 Baldurs gate 2 follow on baldur 's gate 1 , and both be a blast to play . +597 Video_Games POS 4 this game take place between the first and second prince of Persia of the Sands of time trilogy , the game be a little to short -lrb- 10 hour maybe -rrb- and the combat be not that great , but still i have a lot of fun play it , the platform be great and fun , and the visual be amazing . there be a challenge Mode and Free DLC available for UPlay member -lrb- Register to Uplay be free and you a able to get DLC and award for Ubisoft Games like Assassins creed 2 and Splinter Cell conviction -rrb- . this be the first Prince of Persia I have play , and it be very satisfying , i have replay it a couple of time to unlock all achievement and award . +667 Video_Games POS 4 a lot of people think that the Gamecube be just a toy . . well , if you want to get figurative , then , yes , it be . but realistically , it be a very powerful machine worthy of hype and expectation . I have see thing like this in review : pro : good graphic , bla bla bla , and best controller ... BEST CONTROLLER ? yes , it have a great controller , but that be a personal opinion , not a fact . so let 's state the fact ... 1 . -rrb- better texturing ability than -lrb- ... -rrb- 2 . -rrb- comfy controller design to most , but odd button layout to many more . 3 . -rrb- simply a gaming system , no extra feature . -lrb- good or bad -rrb- 4 . -rrb- many recognizable character , but almost no character development for year ... Mario , very enjoyable , but always re-hash . 5 . -rrb- smallest polygon count , but good texture mean game look good up close , but large scale level will hammer the system . 6 . -rrb- smallest game selection of all , but many recognizable face . all in all the Gamecube be a competetor in the console world , if you want to pay for a game system and that be all , then get the gamecube , otherwise you 'll be pay for a dvd player\/music machine , yada yada yada , when chance be , you already have all of that . the best information I can give anyone be this : Games and system have come quite a way since the beginning ... genre have be define , inroduce , and define again , franchise have be make , series have all develop across every platform that people know and love ... there always a few good series on every game system ... so buy every one . ps2 , Xbox , and Gamecube . that way you 'll get Mario , Sonic , and Halo to play . truth be told-if you be stick with one system , no matter which one it is-you be miss out on something else . +65 Video_Games NEG 1 pre order this . get it today at two in the afternoon . it be 7 o ' clock and I cant get it to run . get error message from origin that say that they be experience activation issue !! I wish I could get my money back or at least have a word with whoever think Origin would be a good idea ! no wonder game be be pirate ! this review be not about the game itself , cause I have not BEEN ABLE to play it !!!!! -rrb- it be more on the frustrating experience of pay 59 dollar for something that you wait for so eagerly only to receive and not be able to play it ! Update since I get the game , it have be nothing but issue after issue . first , the intallation , then the bug and not be able to play the multiplayer . the latest issue : the game lag tremendously even in the single player campaign . -lrb- I have a gtx 570 slus setup , pair with a core i5 2500k , 16gb of corsair vengenace ram and a ssd ! -rrb- I have have it and simply decide to delete origin and bf3 from my hdd ! I strongly recommend not to buy this game . march 2nd ,2012 update decide to give it another try . I install it -lrb- same lengthy process , but no problem now -rrb- run the game and everything be sweet ... for a moment . a update be release and guess what ? it do not work again . +480 Video_Games NEG 2 Sid Meier have get to the point in the gaming industry where all he have to do be attach he name to a game and it will sell . pirate ! be a game that offer so much promise , but it never really quite get there . yes , the game do provide I with several hour of enjoyment . the basic premise of the game be a blast . however , each goal in the game be accompanine by a mini-game . at first , the mini-game be nice Easter egg , but they get very boring very fast . overall , the game need a lot of improvement . with a little tweaking , I believe Pirates ! have the ability to become one of those game that define a genre . as it be , the game seem incomplete . the main quest never stop be enjoyable . the mini-game that must be accomplish in order to complete the main quest get unbearably tedious . +445 Video_Games POS 4 this headset work great . I use they with my reciever which have Dolby Headphone to get near true surround . they be crystal clear most of the time . however , I find that certain wifus channel can interfere with they since they use the same 2.4 ghz band . just pick you channel to find one that do not interfere . +460 Video_Games POS 4 I have be a Nintendo fan since the SNES -lrb- Super Nintendo Entertainment System -rrb- and i have enjoy all the classic since then , ecspecially the Mario franchise . Nintendo Gamecube be the latest in Nintendo 's home console gaming and featue state of the art graphic wich be amazing ... in 2001 . as you may know or not know Nintendo be plannign on release a new consol soon , very soon . so be this truly worth buy ? -lrb- read on and decide for yourself -rrb- Gamecube have a strong , strong line up in the beggining of it be life span with instant classic like `` Super Smash Bros. . Melee '' -lrb- duke it out in a crazy fighting game with Nintendo classic ! -rrb- and `` Star Wars : Rogoue Squadron 2 '' -lrb- or pit yourself into the realm of Star Wars and man you vehicle and prepare for war ! -rrb- . even as the year roll by Nintendo get possibly better ! with hit like `` Phantasy Star Online Episodes 1 & 2 '' -lrb- one of the few online game on the gc , great rpg and it be multi player too ! -rrb- and `` sonic adventure 2 battle '' by work a few deal with Sega . sadly the Gamecube start to become sluggish lack the online feature other consol now fully supportet speccifically x-box . Nintendo go they different way but still manage to produce multiple title that still have major success . keep in mind gamecube prodominatley feature multiplayer game and child base game , but that do not stop they from release mature single palyer goody like Resident Evil 4 -lrb- one of the best game of all time ! -rrb- . do not forget the Nintendo vault of treat to with all they franchise make epic return and new arrival , Animal Crossing be very addicting think of it as a wacky the Sims -lrb- in a nutshell that be -rrb- . Super Mario Sunshine be Marios way back into people home with all he platformer goodness and one of the greatest ... Legend of Zelda : the Winder Waker , a powerful rpg conduct of element from all the previous loz contain clean clear cell shaded style graphic ! all these good game and you wonder why a 4 star ? Nintendo as i mention do superb , but then start disable many title that come out on ps2 and x-box as if they want to kill off fanbase -lrb- but still fail , long live Nintendo ! -rrb- . with all that say you pick a Gamecube up for a relatively cheap price consider all the other system cost of around 150-200 $ . +561 Video_Games POS 5 I be the only one that have use it so far . I buy it with the just Dance 2 game and even though you be dance and have fun , you be sweating and work out you body too ! the Wii itself : I and my family can watch Netflix , create we own Mii , easy setup , and even go on the internet , and it come with the resort and sport which be fun , but not as much fun as just Dance 2 . just wish : they have a Pandora app , & can play dvd on the Wii itself = \/ +681 Video_Games POS 4 I recently purchase this game , and when I get home I go direcly to my GameCube . when I start play I learn that instead of use dollar , you use Bells . not only do you start off with a very small house you do not even have enough Bells for it . the animal who sell you the house tell you that you can have it but you have to pay off all the debt . once you pay off all you debt you upgrade you house and you be in debt again . you may keep upgrade you house until you can not upgrade anymore . you can also make animal friend , obtain special item , and more . it be also fun because it be like real life , -lrb- i.e. -rrb- in the Winter it snow . in autumn the leaf change color . there be also real life , and make up holiday . like , Toy Day -lrb- make up Holiday -rrb- or Christmas . I also suggest get a strategy guide . it really help . a game of patience . +320 Video_Games POS 5 this and the final scene be my favorite . it be exciting , not too hard , not too terribly easy and a lot of surprise . Execept when you gotta find those damn bug I love every minute of it . no stupid puzzle -lrb- \* cough Blackmoor \* cough -rrb- +952 Video_Games POS 4 you may have hear that this game be full of bug and plot hole . and yes , to a certain extent that be true . it be also a involve game with great character who be intelligent enough to notice what you be do -lrb- with the influence system , character will hold it against you if you insult they , like you more if you kill someone they think do not deserve to live , etc. -rrb- . you will need to save a lot of game to guard against crash , but unless it be even more buggy than usual on you computer , the story and gameplay will distract you from it . +918 Video_Games POS 5 I would recommend try the online version of this game first to see if you like it . it be a very simple word game but I find it nice to relax with while watch tv . I enjoy play without the timer ; it be less stressful . it be pretty much the same as the online game but have room to a house that you unlock as you gain level and word you can unlock to build book for you library . you cant really do anything with these book or this house but it be fun to try to find the word for the book . fun , simple , game for people who like to spell . try the online game and if you like it you will like this . +789 Video_Games NEG 1 I could not wait to buy this game , but now I be go to . the DRM be reprehensible and I will not purchase until it be go . +373 Video_Games POS 5 I buy this copy for my cousin 's 13th birthday . I have play it as well , back as the old gbc game and for the new d . the fact that you can play in the Johto region and kanto region alone give you more play time that any of the pokemon rpg . it be great nostalgia value if you play the older version and it be great for the kid these day if they really want to tackle the now daunt task of complete the pokedex . +548 Video_Games POS 5 so , I be kind of a noob on own a PS3 . in fact , I have not own a console since the original Nintendo , but I do get a PS3 to play blu-ray and basically for Modern Warfare 2 . now I be hardcore into black op and get interested in rpg with the release of the goty edition of Fallout 3 . Castlevania be new ground for I . I remember the original quite well , but hear that this one be not in keep with the franchise ... a reinvention , as it be . I have no idea that there be story line in the original Castlevanias back on the the old bit system , so the story line of this one be so far pretty awesome for I . I be only on chapter 4 -lrb- chapter 2 be nine level ! -rrb- , so I be not all that deep into it , but it be solid as far as game story go . some of it be contrived or seem a little non-sequitur , but hey , it be a video game . it be kind of awesome to listen to Patrick Stewart orate from a scroll at the beginning of each level , too . Gameplay itself be sweet , too . Gabriel start off pretty standard with he cross-chain and that be that , but as he develop skill and acquire relic , he get more and more awesome as far as combat . I especially like be able to ride some of the beast , which you have to do in some case to beat certain level . replay value be incorporate into the game since you can replay any level in order to obtain goody use new skill that you could not previously get . also , each level have a trial that you unlock after beat it , so you can play through again and attempt to succeed at a specific task ; some be easy and some be very difficult . this be a cool feature since Gabriel acquire skill by buy they with xp , so if you be a perfectionist\/completist like I , you 'll be play through the first level before you be even halfway do the game -lrb- which be why I be only at the end of chapter 4 now -rrb- . graphic and animation and all that picture quality mumbo-jumbo be mind-blowing . the game itself be very , very pretty - and from my perspective , for what it be worth , very polished and not at all glitchy . the worst thing I have notice be when I die and the game freeze frame the moment and put it on `` parchment '' paper to immortalize the moment , sometimes the bad guy who nail I be a little jumpy in place . not really a issue at all . to conclude , this game really have it all : action , puzzle-solving , a bit of exploration , character-building , etc. . if you walk back into Castlevania like I do , expect nothing and know nothing , then you will definitely be impress with the stride this franchise have make since the late-1980 's . I highly recommend this game ! +959 Video_Games POS 5 I have 6 kid from 1 to 9 . this be the best game ever , in my opinion , and everyone in my house can play . we have band hero -lrb- and 2 or 3 guitar hero game -rrb- but my oldest 2 be on different level and it be frustrate for my oldest son . the younger kid can not even play at all . we also have 2 DDR game , but they require too much setup and my little kid step on the mat while I be try to play . the older kid get annoyed wait for I to finish so they can play something else -lrb- even though they be not even think about the Wii til I start play . -rrb- with this game , 4 people can play with remote , and everyone else can play along . the baby even bob he body to the beat . when people come to visit , they always want to play this game . and it do not matter if you know how to play or know how to dance . anyone can just pick it up and play . it be great fun . +930 Video_Games POS 4 everyone be review the big issue . here be a few detail could be important to some people : - if you only have vision in one eye , can you still get a 3d effect ? answer : sort of . it be like look at lenticular postcard -lrb- or the lenticular cover of Street Fighter iv 3d -rrb- . you wiggle the screen back and forth , and the image switch back and forth . this have work well with some of my relative . however , it probably be not a good strategy on most game . - I try insert the sd card from my camera , and find I could view all the photo on the 3d ! it be a little slow , but it do work . someone have already mention that you can also listen to mp3 music file this way . and give that the system update give you a 3d music video -- will a later update give we the ability to see we own video ? or even record 3d video on the 3d ? not sure , but one can hope . as it be now , the short video that be on my sd card do not show up on the 3d . - what happen when I insert the 3d sd card into my camera or computer ? just try this . you can see 2d version of you 3d picture . - the camera quality remind I of lower cost camcorder I have have -- they work pretty well in bright lighting , but look grainy indoors . there be several adjustment like lowlight , b & w , sepia , negative . - I have be a big fan of 3d for many year , have enjoy the 3d effect of many movie -lrb- creature from the black lagoon , Comin ' at Ya , not to mention Avatar and Green Hornet -rrb- and the old viewmaster and so on . so I be surprise to find that I , too , experience headache after a couple hour use . my guess be we will all get accustom to the glasses-free 3d effect with time and experience . - Update : there be nothing real special about the ar card . I make a color copy and it work fine . I also scan it in , and play off my computer screen and my iphone ! hilarious ! +198 Video_Games NEG 1 well , I do not like this controller . I buy it after fall for the hype . Mistake . here be my issue with it ... 1 . ok first and foremost ... these analog stick completely suck . they be extremely loose and easy to moce with no resistance at all . this do not give you the tight feel you have with the regular controller when you want to `` hold a line '' with the stick . it get worse though , for some dumb reason , Logi take the greatest analog stick improvement ever make and reverse it . I be speaking of the `` domed '' top to the analog stick . why on earth do the do this ? now you thumb will easily slip off the stick during heated battle . the top be slippery and domed -lrb- round like a arch -rrb- . worst . idea . ever . 2 . second ... 2 . there be a issue with sometimes the button not responge at all . it only happen every once in awhile -lrb- i would say about once or twice every 4 or 5 minute . I have no idea why ... I have no idea when . just know that you will occasionaly have to quickly repress a button to get the response . I imagine that a lot of people be ignore this because it do not happen with regularity and I suppose most people be just think they do not press the button right or hard enough . but it be actually a flaw that can be repeat -lrb- we test with 3 other controller to be sure -rrb- . 3 . Third ... I hate the base part that plug into the system . it plug into you system and have a relatively long wire -lrb- good gosh why ????? -rrb- that on the other end have this big clunky piece of plastic with two place to allow you to put a couple of memory card . this be so ugly and unatractive . you will literally have to lay the wire up over you xbox and have that thing sit on top of you system , with the wire just hang all over the place . I like my stuff to be `` tight '' and to look good and not be sloppy and loosly hang all around . I want wireless to get rid of wire , not to have wire hang out the front of my system and drape all around it . 4 . trigger be worse . they make they smaller , put they at a slightly different angle and make the throw much shorter -lrb- much shorter -rrb- . this leave you much less precision . I dunno why anyone would recommend this controller . Logitech do a much better job with the ps2 wireless controller -lrb- except for the crappy analog stick there - but since ps2 also have those crappy stick already , you not lose anything like you do with the Xbox 's SUBLIME and flawlessly perfect analog stick -rrb- . +136 Video_Games POS 5 >> the premise Dissidia Duodecim , for the uninitiated , be a 3-d , real-time brawler feature most of the main protagonist and antagonist of the entire final Fantasy series . battle be frenetic , acrobatic , and -- while seemingly shallow at first -- offer deep strategy and customization . it be a lot like Super Smash Bros. what this mean be that , just like Smash Bros. , Dissidia provide ton of secret , unlockable , fan service , and content . player unfamiliar with final Fantasy will get considerably less mileage out of Dissidia than fan of even one game in the series , but there be still a solid brawler in here with serious rpg trappings . >> the Gameplay brawl play out in a similar manner : prowl around you enemy and use the circle button to nail they with bravery attack , which do not do damage , but increase you bravery meter . the higher you bravery meter , the more damage you 'll deal when you finally hit the square button and unleash a HP attack . the point , ultimately , be to whittle away you opponent 's HP , use a mix of bravery and HP attack , until they be defeat . mix in with this be a lot of dodge , roll , fly around , block , explosion , and magic . battle earn you exp , which in turn level you up , which in turn allow you learn new bravery and HP attack . this be where the rpg foundation of final Fantasy come into play , allow you to equip new move , item , summons , and accessory in a attempt to give you the upper hand while duke it out . >> the Verdict Dissidia Duodecim bring enough new content to the table that return fan should definitely take a look , even if they have pour hundred of hour into the first game . folk who have play even one game in the final Fantasy series and be curious about this title should definitely give it a spin . if you like the first Dissidia , you 'll love this sequel -- it be bigger , better , quicker , and deeper than the first . if you never like the first Dissidia , however , this one will not convert you . fan of brawler should also take a look , even if they be unfamiliar with final Fantasy . Dissidia Duodecim be a standout title on the PSP , and offer a huge amount of bang for the buck . >> what be New \* character : lightning , Kain , Tifa , Yuna , Laguna , Vaan , and a few other all come to the roster with new fight style that be fun and unique . so far , I have play heavily as lightning , Tifa , and Yuna , and they new style fit right in to Dissidia perfectly . \* stage : a handful of new stage have be introduce to coincide with the addition to the character roster . orphan 's Cradle from FFXIII look and play great , and there be several other new stage that provide a welcome change in environment . for now , though , it only seem like there be 3 or 4 new stage . \* move : return character have a few new trick up they sleeve to mix thing up . \* music : New tune have be add -- not only for game like ffxiius and ffxius , which be not represent it the first Dissidia , but it also seem as if at least one new song have be include from all the previous game as well . menu bgm have be remix slightly . the music , both new and old , sound wonderful . \* Assists : pick you character , then pick any other character on the roster to be you assist buddy when you need help . assist character can be assign in the customization screen , similar to how accessory , equipment , and summons be assign . you can fight without assist character , but it be worth it to have one along for some flashy help during a brawl . there be Bravery assist and HP assist , and both should be use judiciously : although it be easy to fill up the Assist meter , it be also easy to use a assist at the wrong time and waste a opportunity . each character offer a different skillset for assist , so it be important to consider you own fighting style and bring along the right assist character in order to maximize you strategy . \* Story Mode : much improve over the original , the Story mode in Dissidia Duodecim now offer a expansive overworld to explore in between the familiar , grid-based battle level from the first game . there be lot of secret , treasure chest , wander foe , and moogle shop in the overworld , make it a awesome addition to this sequel . cutscene be do better , and the new scenario feature all six of the new character be great . \* Party Free Battle : create team of up to five character to take into tournament-style or round robin battle . assign a class to each character to receive stat bonus , then unlock temporary new class that be more powerful as you progress through each battle . \* creation Mode : this mode be truly the highlight of the game for I -- I be very impress by it . creation Mode allow you to create you own quest scenario , include static cutscene and custom fight , which you can then share with friend . you can also save , edit , and watch replay in this mode , which offer a surprisingly robust Theater mode similar to halo 3 pause the replay , move the camera around , take screenshot , cut and string together the video , and then convert you masterpiece to a . avus that can be upload to you computer ! awesome ! I have spend hour play around in this mode , and expect to spend many hour more . \* gameplay tweak : the aus seem tougher in battle Mode , but battle feel much more responsive and smooth . unlockable item and equipment seem to come along much more frequently after every battle compare to the first game , which make fight more rewarding . assist add a great new layer of strategy to battle . >> what be Familiar \* character : all the familiar face from the first dissidium reprise they role and fight style here . \* stage : all the stage from the first game be available in this sequel as well . \* music : all the music of the first game make a welcome return \* Gameplay : the core gameplay remain unchanged . aside from the addition of assist , brawl be still very similar to the first Dissidia , though more responsive . level up be still the same , and the customization screen with the cute little chocobo be the same as in the first game . do not fix what be not break , right ? >> pro : + Gameplay feel a little tighter and more responsive than in the first game . + Graphics seem a little better . + New character , stage , and music be great addition to the game . + New cutscene in Story mode seem as if they be a little better write , better act , and better direct than in the first . + the overworld in Story mode be awesome , and fairly large . + the ability to import you save from the first Dissidia mean any old character you level up will retain they skill and level in this game . you can also choose to import you save without bring over the level you have accrue . + Creation mode be a stunning and excellent new mode for those who like to make they own movie , screenshot , and quest . + the ability to save replay as . avus file that can be upload to a computer -lrb- and play from you psp 's video folder -rrb- be a truly awesome feature . -lrb- be sure to turn on replay in the Options mode , first . -rrb- + assist be a great addition to battle . + the datum install feature help cut load time -lrb- install the maximum of 814 mb cut load time by about 75 % -- but it take about 2 hour to install -rrb- . the install size include 492mb , 574mb , and 814mb . + the game be overwhelmingly deep , and offer a huge amount of content for a great price -- even for those who spend ton of hour in the first Dissidia . + battlegen item be much easier to create in Duodecim . >> con : - load time seem to be a few seconds longer in this game than in the first . even with a maximum datum install , load take just a second or three longer here than after install datum in the first game . the wait be noticeable compare to the first game , but certainly not terrible . - it be still easy to get stick in cheap juggle move by the computer , but assist help alleviate this issue by let you assist character take the hit for you , if need . - still no infrastructure mode . with the ability to create custom quest and edit replay , it be too bad there be no online portal to share you creation . you can still battle and share with friend use ad-hoc mode , but a true online mode would certainly have be welcome . >> thing to note : \* dissidium 012 -lrb- duodecim -rrb- final Fantasy if you be look to get a Dissidia game , get this one , not the first , because Duodecim include all the stuff from the first game , plus a ton more . +240 Video_Games POS 5 even though the graphic like everyone know can not be compare with PS3 and XBOX360 , the human-machine interface make up for the rest . now that I have play this game in the WII , I can ` t imagine go back to the traditional control ... you get much more involve in the game this way ... great game , great platform +3 Video_Games NEU 3 DaGeDar be a game where you control a DaGeDar steel ball and have it roll through a course . it actually remind I of Sonic the hedgehog with how you control the ball through loop and as you pass through item . you can receive Energy Chargers that refill you Turbo meter so you can go at turbo speed and fly through the air from a cannon . there be other boost and of course patch to slow you down or even eat up you ball so you have to start over . the game include 3 Championship Leagues , 7Zones , and 100 DaGeDar ball to unlock . you have to keep playing -lrb- racing -rrb- to get better speed and slowly you will unlock more and more of the game . so while the game be very easy to play , the challenge be to keep play to unlock more level and ball and get better time . my 3 year old love this game , that be how easy it be for he - now of course he have a horrible time and be not use Turbo or anything , but he be able to beat the level . for older kid it be the challenge of unlock everything and even compete against friend ! we only have one d otherwise I be sure my boy would love to race each other ! oh and the basic level and option you have in the beginning be okay but they definitely get cooler as the game go on ! +595 Video_Games POS 4 absolutely love this game !! I do not know why people complain about the wiimote and nunchuck , because I think they be quite compatible as controller . the graffic be terrific as be the storyline , and if you be not use cheat , the game be just difficult enough to keep you interested , but not so difficult that it drive you nut and you give up , and chuck the wiimote at you poor hdtv . I really love the little village ; they be so quaint and charming -lrb- you have guess it ; I be a chick -rrb- ! the only thing that I dislike about the game be the end : you can not go back and free-play after the grand finale . -lrb- I be hope to return to the cute little village and make Link & Zelda `` create '' little sword-and-shield-yielding baby ! ; -rrb- ha ! -rrb- unfortunately , this kind of end be typical of Zelda game . why oh why ??? +977 Video_Games NEG 1 my 4-yr old whose fairly computer savvy sum it up best when he say `` this be too boring '' ... strangely complicate to install , hard to navigate , and not much payoff when you do get to place . for I it be too much of what be bad about the Cars movie -lrb- the story\/characters -rrb- and not enough of what be good about it -lrb- action\/graphics -rrb- . if you value you $ 20 , stay on the interstate and zoom past this radiator Springs adventure . +383 Video_Games NEU 3 my 3 kid realy enjoy each of they d 's one be buy new and two use . it be very addictive . one thing I would caustion parent about the d 's they break but not like you think . my daughter 's break on the second day she have owend it . we buy it use , so we have no idea how old it be and of course no warrenty by manufacture . my daughter give it to I to set the time and such . I do so shut it and then want to ck something open it again -lrb- this be with out sit it down -rrb- and as I open it the d 's hing crack . I do some reserch and find this be very common . so if you child hing break do not get mad at you child it be a failur flaw of the d it be self . I also strongly advise you spend the money for a screen protecter as they do get scratch up . they be fun but i feel they price be to high for they qulity . I hope this info help you in desige just how much you willing to spend for one . most game be $ 35 , - they go up to $ 50 , - but you can get they cheaper if you by use . beware of copy best way to avoid they be to buy from US seller only . please do not hold this info aginst Amazon or the seller on amazon i buy from , this be nentendo flaw not theirs . +627 Video_Games POS 5 I be very happy because everything wa great , thanks a lot ! I recomend you for everyone , i hoppe i can buy with you guy again ! +449 Video_Games NEU 3 in life , there be three thing that be certain : death , tax , and Capcom 's inability to count up . Arcade Edition -lrb- AE -rrb- be the third go Capcom have have with Street Fighter 4 and unlike the previous version , Super Street Fighter 4 -lrb- Super -rrb- , ae take sf4 backwards in game balance and ultimately seem to be a misguided attempt to cash in on sf4 's success . in term of add character , ae pale in comparison to Super . when Super be introduce , it add 10 new character to the sf4 roster while ae only add 4 new character to Super 's roster . while most of the addition Super bring in character-wise be praise by the community -lrb- ibukus , Guy , Juri -rrb- the new character in AE just leave people scratch they head . if you make a list of character people want to be include in AE , I be fairly sure yun and yang would not be anywhere near the top . however , since ae give you all the character from the previous version , it still seem like a great deal ... until you play against Yun . and you will play against Yun ... a lot . like all fight game , sf4 have have minor tweak to make the character more balanced . even though total equality be nigh impossible , you do not want a handful of character destroy the rest of the cast . Super have some standout -lrb- rufus , balrog -rrb- but overall , I feel it be a decently balanced game . I expect AE edition to continue the trend and smooth out the playing field . I be wrong . while most of the character from Super get significant nerf , Yun and Yang be grossly overpower . in essence , Capcom water down most of the previous cast and place two shark in the tank . be yun and yang unbeatable ? absolutely not , but if you be not one of the twin , you be go to have a nasty uphill fight . the balance issue in AE be boggle . pro + 4 New character + neat replay mode and search engine + cheap price con - the 4 new character be awful . two more shotokan and yun and yang ? - horrible balance issue - another version of sf4 conclusion : if you love Street Fighter , you be go to buy this . if you have never buy sf4 , this be the version you should get . however , I be disappointed that Capcom be unable to build upon the solid Super Street Fighter 4 version . this do not feel like a step forward , it feel like a step to the side and then a step back . pity . +244 Video_Games POS 5 I play this game at MY FRIENDS HOUSE and it be the best ever . I could not stop play this game . MY FAVORITE ANIMAL in the game be the polar bear . I freeform mode because you have unlimited money .

I would RECCOMEND THIS GAME for AGES 7-ADULT !!! bye !! +972 Video_Games POS 4 buy the XBOX 360 Live Vision Camera for some elusive achievement , but find little use for it on my 360 . hear that the camera be compatible with mac , plug it in and work beautifully . I have a Mac Mini which with the camera I can now do video call with service like Skype . the camera be easy to use , whether it be for the XBOX or other device , just plug and play . +785 Video_Games POS 4 I have be play spore on a friend 's computer -lrb- my laptop be not old by a long shot , but I do not think it could handle it -rrb- and just reach the Tribal phase after hour of play . many reviewer have suggest that the first two stage of the game be much too short , and I agree that the cell phase be -lrb- they could have make that more in-depth , even have another Aquatic Creature phase in between -rrb- , but I think the land-based Creature phase be sufficiently long . it take awhile to explore all my option and I be sure I miss plenty of detail . surprising thing happen like volcano erupt and ufo come to abduct the poor primitive species of my planet -lrb- amusing look into the future when I can do that ! -rrb- . spore do not have quite the same sense of humor -lrb- at least not yet -rrb- as the Sims , but it certainly have element of it . little quirk and detail can result in some really funny thing happen if you take time to notice . I love take time to really make elaborate and unique modification to my creature . if you be not in the mood to be creative , it do not really affect the effectiveness of you animal . you can modify it for look , or just quickly stick on the change you want and go . even at the cellular stage , there be room to be distinctive . my friend make a little amoeba that look quite different from mine even with what seem like limited option . and once on dry land , the variety be freakish and astonishing . I never see another life form that even remotely resemble mine in the least of way . this be a colorful , cheerful , goofy game . I think that be a good thing . I believe it could have be more complex\/slightly less childlike , but I be not hugely disappointed . lovely appearance and really fun to personalize . but I do think it take a certain type of personality to really enjoy Spore to its full extent . those who say this be not a replayable game or be only amusing for a few hour ... no offense , but I think it indicate a certain lack of imagination . which be fine , it be just that this be not the sort of game for you . if you could play by yourself with doll or action figure for hour as a kid , come up with endless story and scenario , build environment and prop for they ... Spore be probably you kind of thing . I understand concern regard the DRM , but most of the review bash it state that the reviewer refuse to buy the game on account of it . if you have not play the game , how can you review it ? it be certainly valid to protest it and make you opinion know , but that do not constitute a critique of the game 's content . it be as if J.K. Rowling decide to donate all the proceeds from Harry Potter to a organization you hate on moral principle , so you write a Amazon review of she last book say the book be terrible without have read it . yes , you be refuse to buy it for a good reason , but you can not actually have anything worthwhile to say about the plot of the book itself . violently beat down the star rating of a product because of the politics surround it be childish and obsessive . I disregard out of hand any review which `` review '' without have play . +962 Video_Games POS 5 i get this for my 18 year old for christmas , however all the oldy overtake the game , she didnt get a chance to play , it be great fun , huge laugh and excellent work out . she now have it and say she enjoy it too . +135 Video_Games POS 5 hello I be 17 year old and have be play game for a loooong time . so do not discard I just yet ! I own a game cube and a ps2 . to be honest I teach like most people out there , `` that a game cube be for little kid '' . but like most people have see the Game cube be not for little kid . just take a look at this game ... hitman 2 , true crime : Streets of LA , Resident Evil , Mortal Kombat : Deadly Alliance , Dead to rights , Def Jam Vendetta , and many more tittle . I teach that the ps2 be better and it never accure to I that I would buy a game cube . I get it with Super Smash Bros. . Melee and Freekstyle . it be great , I be play for a long time and I just get soo in to it that I do not even see the time fly by . i like how small it be and everyone that have see it like it because of its small size , small disc , and great look . but i still get that `` be not the ps2 better ? '' . well if you think that pay more for a Console be `` better '' than go for it and waste you money on that cheap dvd add-in . I know that the line `` include dvd '' sound awesome and I feel for it too like many other out there . but start think about it and it be not that great . plus if you already have one -lrb- which most of we do -rrb- why would you need one ? First of the ps2 do not support mp3 's , VCD 's , SVCD 's , the ZOOM Feature , Different Angle Feature , Record dvd 's feature , and it do not have progressive scan . a must have for better dvd quality . and with the price of dvd player now a day I think its better to go out there and buy the dvd player separate . this also mean not go out there and hunt around for a decent dvd control . get my point ? ok let continue ! I have the Game cube and the Playstation 2 , i dont have the xbox and i have not play it either , so to be fair i will not talk about it . so here we go ! game cube - small size , small CD 's , Easy to carry , fast set-up , very comfortable controller , very durable , 3 different color , awesome game Variety , Addictive `` only for '' Games , have never freeze , and under $ 100 . ps2 - some-what small , great Button Layout , stand vertically -lrb- with help -rrb- and horizontally , play dvd 's , fast set-up , have `` Grand theft auto '' , Great Game Variety and do not freeze freakently -lrb- but have about 10 time since i have it \* 6 month \* -rrb- . so bottom line if you want a awesome system that look Great and play even Greater , get the Game cube . the only reason i would not buy one be if I still think that it be for little kid , or if I do not have a dvd player and need one fast , but like i state on top I do not think you want that one anyway . so hopefully this help you and have guide you to buy what be right for you ! happy gaming ! : -rrb- +370 Video_Games POS 4 this game be awesome . its a amazing workout that keep you heart rate up . the only problem with the game be the menu , they be not intuitive nor easy to traverse , but once you get to the actual workout everything be fine . +676 Video_Games POS 5 this be slightly bigger than the regular controller but it be not a big deal . we use a big screen and play about 10-15 foot away from the tv . the wirless be so great because you do not have to move the GameCube from the shelf and mess with all the cord . there be no lag in response time either . such a great controlller . we try to see how far away we could be when the GameCube would stop receivee signal . we get to the opposite side of the house and it be still work . ha !! +309 Video_Games NEU 3 if you be a fan of first-person shooter , you know there be certain thing that will make a shooter better than the rest . first , level design must not be confuse . use of different texture can help make room look different , and door should not have anything stick out to catch you when you be back up . Lighting should not confuse the player either . too many effect can be really confusing . the single player mode should have a story worth pay attention to or none at all . event should make sense like they would in the real world . the designer of Halo 2 must not have play many first person shooter . I 'll tell you why : the level design make no sense at all . no one would ever make structure like the one in this game . there be just no logic to it . almost all of the door have little piece of wall jut out into they make back up through they frustrate . there be also ton of rock , tree , broken cement , and other prop that bring up the polygon count . high polygon count in a xbox game make for low framerate . the texture be not very creative . all the room look very similar , and the lighting effect be unrealistic and confusing . when you shoot or get shoot , there be enough flash on the screen to send someone into a seizure . Xbox live do not allow you to configure much , and the level of the menu be confuse . the single player story leave a lot to be desire and the weapon be not balanced anymore . the energy sword be friggen cool though ! remember how well balanced they be in Halo 1 ? first person shooter have be around for many year . most of the mistake halo 2 be guilty of have be make before . if only the programmer play more video game . halo 2 be not all bad , but it be not very good either . consider how fun the first Halo be -lrb- for a console game -rrb- , this could have be ten time better . maybe Halo 3 will not disappoint ...

I , personally , be not a history fan . it bore I to tear . if it be not for my determination to play all the nd game , I would have stop play . I mean , a mystery in a museum about mayan culture be bind to be bore for someone like myself . another downside to this game be that there be actually no real mystery for the first hour or so , make the first hour even more of a drag than the rest of the game be . I still remember my boss , Joanna , burst into the room say , `` Beech Hill -lrb- the museum -rrb- have be hit ! Sit tight , Nancy , the police be on they way !

'' the puzzle be pretty easy , but there be a lot of they ! why on earth I have to make my way past three level of quiz just to get to a place I have already see , I 'll never know . the only challenging one , I find , be those idiotic audio narration , which be a bit too hard , see as everyone in my family confirm that they be seven when they be really one . they scaryness of this game be limit . very limit . the only time I even get anything close to scared -lrb- I be only 12 when I play the game -rrb- be : 1 . when one of the npc 's fall down a long flight of stair and be knock unconcious , result in amnesia and a very long hospital stay . I be very attach to this character , and , be the sap that I be , start cry when I hear he fall down the temple step and then see he on the ground . 2 . the end . I think hus be try to outshine themselves . either that , or they be try to make up for the boring-ness of the rest of the game . if you can not stomach be trap in a airless space with a half-rotted corpse , you would best have a partner with you to finish the game for you . that be what I do ! other than that , there be really nothing else of importance about this game I probably should mention other than the fact that it be long , boring , take I 3 year to finish because I keep stop and start , and feel like a field trip . most of the npc 's be very annoying -lrb- I keep want to smack this one ` pillowhead ' ... if you have play the game , you 'll know who I be talk about ! if he offer I a stale cookie one more time ... -rrb- anyway , if you love history , you 'll love this game . if you do not ... well ... it be up to you to decide if you want to put yourself through hour of pointless puzzle . +267 Video_Games POS 4 I have read many bad review for this game , but I think what it really come down to be the graphic . they be not great and a little dated , but so what the game be fun and have a great storyline . I do not have xbox and play Halo 3 with my brother in-law when I go to he house . I have a hard time with the game because I have trouble see the enemy . in this game they be easy to spot and stand out easily . basically if you like Halo and the storyline buy the game , it require a good computer to play for some reason , base on the graphic and stuff it do not make sense to I . great game overall . +690 Video_Games NEG 1 adventure gamer : do not buy this game ! 1 -rrb- it be a series of maze ; 2 -rrb- 90 % of the time you be either kill dead people or the living , and then rekill they after they be dead ; 3 -rrb- there be some inventory item ; 4 -rrb- it be a keyboard game -lrb- i.e. , you have to use both hand to maneuver in the game ; and , 5 -rrb- if you insist upon get this game , make sure you back off every time you kill somebody or you will end up not finish the game ! this game be a waste of my money . +845 Video_Games NEG 2 Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban could have be a mediocre game . there be some strong point , such as fly Buckbeak and great graphic , but there be so many thing that be surpass by the Chamber of secret that this game be at best only a vain attempt to live up the previous game . the story be almost entirely tell not by the player but by the cutscene have the same problem with the related movie : overacting -lrb- facial expression be WAYYY too dramatic and character voice be overdue -rrb- . the character be annoy with they goofy movement and good-for-nothing line , and I could not care less if my character be kill in the middle of the mission . the gameplay be smooth , though , but not as good as in the Chamber of secret -lrb- e.g. Harry can not run around and cast spell at the same time -rrb- . the level be far less creative and complex than the one in the previous game , and the number of they be even more pathetic . with just two non-class level , I suddenly find near the end of the game . overall , this game make the player do a number of semi-related stuff without make they feel be a actual part of the game . it be much simpler , to be sure , but do that really matter ? I beat the game within 24 hour -lrb- I repeat , 24 hour for a person who have serious problem play Jedi Outcast -rrb- , and I feel far less satisfied than I be when I complete other harder game . I do not think I really care about play as Hermione or Ron , either because the character be really annoying , or this be just a bad game . I be really happy when I just play as Harry in the previous game . +289 Video_Games POS 5 the product be receive accord to the list in excellent condition and on time . I be satisfy because it be a good purchase and good gift tk . +430 Video_Games NEG 2 the graphic be not that bad , the video be not bad either , but like what everyone say before , this game have stuff that make no sense . like the developer leave out the little detail . for example , for the task , one person will ask you to clean out `` Comet 's stall '' but the person never say which of the , what , maybe 10 stall stable be Comet 's . same with be ask to take someone else 's horse to pasture . . I later notice he horse look the same as the horse I choose on the second level . so many glich as well . for example , it will not let I let go of the horse , or let I put the horse in its stall , drive I nut ! its ashamed because the game have so much potential . it just need to be more user friendly and logical . +389 Video_Games NEG 1 I think this thing suck . I have to save up 180 dollar , andus only get 5 a week . it be too expensive , wheras the GameCube be a mere 100 . the conroller have too many button , and it be too small . the GameCube controller be just right . it do have more game ; I 'll give it that . but , be they all good ? a few , maybe , but most be bloody , gory , rude , and just downright boring . it be mostly sport and shooting . it have no big franchise besides Grand theft auto , which I do not understand why it be so fun . Nintendoo have : Mario , Zelda , StarFox , Metroid , Mario Kart , plus Animal Crossing . so , the message I be convey here be ps2 be no good , buy a GameCube . +362 Video_Games POS 5 there be not 1 game that be better than this . i be on humongous.com and i see all these like backyard game and i like basketball so i get it . it have really good graphic and you can do awesome stunt !!!!!!!!!!!!! +616 Video_Games POS 5 the PSP be limit by have only one analog stick , and psp user know when play FPS game it become so frustrating . this game instead be a third person shooter , basically overhead , and the creator make this game as fun as it could be on the psp . you aim and shoot with the analog , you get grenade , a lot of weapon , after mission you be reward base on you performance and uncover of veteran money , basically you use this to buy more cool weapon . there be plenty of weapon , feature , mission and they include a update to bring another act with several mission as a free bonus , plus they include a update for free online play . a great package and a great psp game with a entertaining story line , fun game play and rich graphic . +141 Video_Games POS 5 this game be great !!! the graphic be incridble and the new feature be incrideble . +879 Video_Games NEG 1 I research a little about DRM before I submit this review and certainly I feel that I will be pay to mess up my pc . I will not purchase any game with drm . I think it be time to go back and play some of my DRM free game . +429 Video_Games POS 4 this be one of the few place I could find a 1019 original gc memory card online . be have problem with the Wii over a 3rd party memory card so I buy this one to prevent any future corrupted save ! +44 Video_Games POS 5 this be a brilliant fusion sophisticated simming , and simple engineering . the ability to build roller coaster be easy to learn , and the level increase in challenge as the player skill grow . hold together by a arcade style level structure , where after complete one challenge the player enter he or she name complete with score , this game can consume more hour then most of the world . put both arm up , and get ready to scream , this be the best sim game ... ever . +368 Video_Games POS 4 I havent really play any need for speed game besides carbon and some other one on the original xbox . i decide to get this one because it look really cool . I like the idea of be a cop and take down other player . i love the multiplayer for , especially the hot pursuit mode . it be beast ! something that need for speed need be customizable car . customizable like midnight club . get all the standard then use the xp point you earn to buy part and stuff . maybe put some lead lighting underneath , and change the color of you tint -lrb- i have always want chrome tinted window -rrb- but beside that , this game be pretty awesome . i wish it have customizable ability though . oh well . : -lrb- +762 Video_Games POS 4 try to control the plane with you computer keyboard can be very difficult . other than that the game be totally awesome . all though I think they make the flight control a little more flimsy which can account for make it hard to control some of the plane in the game . even with these setback , I love Microsoft Flight Sim 2004 . the detail be more realistic than other version of the Flight Simulator . I take off from the Salt Lake City international airport and actually manage to land a 737 on the landing strip in Las Vegas . the 737 be my favorite plane because once you up in the air , you can put the plane into autopilot and sit to enjoy the view . have read the flight manual for the Boeing 737 , I can say that all the control be right where they suppose to on the plane . I also like to set the weather to thunderstorm . I find it more interesting to see lighting storm go on under I when I be 35,000 foot up ! if you look into take fly lesson this game will defiantly reminder you , there be a lot more to fly than just get the plane up in the air . Flight Simulator 2004 will give you a sure opportunity to fine tune you fly skill . +978 Video_Games POS 5 as Stephen King 's Number one fan -lrb- wink , wink -rrb- , I can only say how awesome it be to have Stephen King 's f13 run on my computer . it be gory graphic and creepy sound be just what I would expect from the `` king of horror '' . my particularly favorite feature be have Stephen King in a corner of my screen clack away at a new story in real-time . that and a new -lrb- lengthy -rrb- short story . I will not give too much away , but it be one of he creepier one . I would definitely recommend this product to a friend . +974 Video_Games POS 5 this be the best pokemon game I have ever play . the pro be : -lrb- 1 -rrb- you can play as a girl this time -lrb- 2 -rrb- you can catch Suicune in tin tower -lrb- 3 -rrb- the pokemon do little action -lrb- 4 -rrb- the all-new battle tower be in -lrb- 5 -rrb- shiny pokemon be not that rare anymore -lrb- ex . from th odd egg i hatch a purple igglybuff and my friend hatch a gold Magby and it evolve into a purple magmar -rrb- this game be DEFENATLY a must have for all pokemon Trainers !!!!!!!!! +254 Video_Games POS 5 a beautiful , antique carousel be mysteriously start up in the dead of night . be it a ghost ... or be it more then it seem ? in this adorable adventure star you as teen sleuth Nancy Drew , you explore Captin 's Cove , a amusement park in New Jersey suffer from a few ... problem . as you move throughout the park , you will have to solve various puzzle to advance deeper into the game . sometimes , it will only take a phone call to dig up a clue , but other time , you will have to do thing like decipher shorthand write to advance -lrb- do not worry , you 'll have plenty of help -rrb- . to warn veteran player , some thing have change in this installment . this time around , you have e-mail and a cell phone to aid you with you case . you will be able to use this cell phone anywhere but , unlike the other game , you will have to depend on it a lot more . i think that the 7 location in this game be well think out and plan . the same thing go for the 4 main character , who , as you interrogate they , will all have a motive and all seem like they be the culprit . the music , though somewhat scary at time , only add to the overall flavor of the game . though it only take I 1 day to complete , I think it be great ! if you be a parent you will also love it . unlike some of the other computer game out on the market , this one let you kid have fun , while they learn . the only complaint I have about Nancy Drew and the Hanuted Carousel be that it be too short , I guess time fly when you have fun ! +76 Video_Games POS 5 this game be amazing , I play it when I be a kid and I love it ! the 3d version be amazing , it blow the n64 's graphic , this enhance version stay true to the original artwork for the Ocarina of Time . the 3d effect be amazingly good , at first I think it would be just a gimmick and would cause my eye to strain , but I find the complete opposite , the 3d be awesome and you eye get use to it . +334 Video_Games POS 5 I have play all of the Nancy Drew game , and to I , treasure in a Royal Tower be by far , the best one . in this game , Nancy Drew , 18 year old super-slueth , visit Wickford Castle and Ski Resort for a winter vacation . but when a terrible blizzard keep she and 4 other guest strand there , a mystery turn up . someone have ransack the library , and one guest claim a item of value of hers have be steal . I would not reccomend this game for people who have not play other Nancy Drew game , because the castle be very confusing -lrb- I get lose a bunch of time ! -rrb- , but all in all , this game rock ! +500 Video_Games POS 5 I absolutely love this game . the worst thing about playing be the continual reminder that people be complain about the litter in my park ... so , I keep hire handyman to clean it up ... finally ... after about 10 hour into the game ... I find the trash bin in the accessory panel ... duh ... once that get clear up ... I have a uninterupted ball ! truly a great fun game . +532 Video_Games POS 4 Graphics -------- graphically , Super Mario Galaxy be not as detail as some other title -lrb- the Legend of Zelda : Twilight Princess the answer to that question be a resounding yes . many game be inconsistent between movie cutscene and gameplay , but this Mario title never miss a beat . there be lot of bold solid color , minimal shading , minimal anti-aliasing , and almost no shadow or lighting effect . this be deliberate , and evoke the feel of the original Mario title -lrb- and so I be tell the Mario 64 title , which I have never play -rrb- . this lack of detail conveniently also allow the game to work nearly flawlessly on the Wii with almost no frame rate issue -lrb- the exception be at least one of the underwater sequence - water be hard to animate -rrb- . it do tend to look a little jagged at time on larger screen because of the Wii 's limited output resolution , but it be a acceptable sacrifice . overall , I give it a 4\/5 star for graphic . I suspect that future title will find way around the Wii 's graphical limitation , and we 'll see better-looking game with the same or better performance , but for a relatively early title it look pretty darn good . music \/ sound ------------- this be where galaxy shine . a lot of the music be fully orchestrate , and it blend almost seamlessly with the more electronic musical theme , include all of the old favorite . they have cleverly layered multiple track so that they can switch between they to add or subtract additional orchestration at key moment -lrb- like when you set Bowser spin around the planet , the orchestra suddenly chime in much louder -rrb- , and even the sound effect -lrb- with a few exception -rrb- be engineer so that they stay in the same key as the music . this be all design to make the game as immersive as possible , and they pull it off beautifully . -lrb- incidentally , this multi-layered musical approach be also use to great effect in Twilight Princess . other game manufacturer really ought to pay attention to this and consider use this technique for they own game . -rrb- I give the music and sound easily 5\/5 star . Controls -------- the main problem that I have find be that the Nunchuk thumb controller be a little hard to steer accurately . also , there be time when you really want to adjust the camera \* just so \* and the game just will not let you do it . this get frustrating when you be force to jump over chasm at awkward angle . part of this be deliberate -lrb- for example , when gravity change , you can not adjust the world to be right-side up and you have to compensate -rrb- , but at other time it just seem like poor implementation . it seem to I that use the Wiimote pointer would be the `` right '' way to aim the camera , but instead they force you to use a awkward combination of the d-pad and the Nunchuk 's c button . there be a way to temporarily look at you situation in first-person view , but it be rarely useful and frustrating to control . I also have a great deal of trouble control Mario underwater , and fly be really quite frustrating . other than that , the control be fairly smooth and responsive . the use of the Wiimote pointer to pick up starbit be very efficient , and the z button work pretty well to do long jump and back-flip , although if you be not line up exactly right -lrb- darn camera ! -rrb- you 'll go fly off the edge of a cliff pretty quickly . the 2-player option be surprisingly useful for later level where you be too focus on not die to worry about pick up star bit , so you can have a buddy focus on that and provide you with cover fire . while not the best feature of Galaxy , it be a appreciate and useful addition . overall , I give the control 3\/5 star . overall Gameplay ---------------- as just about everyone else in the world have point out , the level design be phenomenal . there will be countless moment when you look at a upcoming challenge , ponder it for a moment , and then mutter `` oh ! '' when you figure out what you have to do to overcome it . then , you 'll probably say to yourself , `` how clever ! '' almost every level have a new and totally unique challenge of some sort . the new Mario suit , which be require to complete you quest , range from the familiar to the rather bizarre . far from just be power-up , each suit pose its own unique challenge and limitation . each level take roughly 10-15 minute to complete - perfect for a quick break between other activity . I like to do the dish , take a quick Mario break , then go fold some laundry , etc. . my only complaint be that if you do save you game and reload , you start back at the observatory and lose all of you extra life . -lrb- grant , free Marios be exceptionally easy to come by , so this be more of a quibble , although the first time I see it happen I be a bit take aback . -rrb- for the exceptional creativity , level of challenge , secret level and entertaining sub-plot , I give Mario a 5\/5 for sheer entertainment value . replayability -------------_NN for the most part , once you have figure out how to conquer a particular puzzle , you do not really need to tackle it again . therefore , I be not sure how replayable this particular title be , as the detail of the level do not really change much -lrb- once you have gather all of the star from the area -rrb- . I think some of you might enjoy replay past level and try to better you coin total . I do not get much out of that personally . I give it roughly 3\/5 for replayability , meaning , I would not trade the game in after I beat it , but I be not sure I would play it again afterwards . I might consider play through some of the level with a second player around to help out , or perhaps I would be the second player just to see exactly how much I can contribute . +34 Video_Games NEU 3 it be disappointing as it be a `` steam '' game which can only be opened\/run with steam open . it be not a stand alone game , but rather a subset of the require steam console +163 Video_Games POS 5 this game be unlike the other . it be a lot more fun and interesting ! you start out in a train where all the student have something to say . you be already battle monster and explore the train . after that you start lesson and you get to be all the character ! you do so many thing and a lot of it you can do over and over . so buy the game , pleasant encounter await you ! +829 Video_Games NEU 3 this game be great in many respects . it be a follow up to Mount & Blade , what I feel be the best medieval mount fight semi-rpg of all time . that say , it be a lot to live up to . Mount & Blade Warband fall short of the original and have a lot of bug -lrb- lot ! -rrb- . it appear the developer tweak the game in favor of multiplayer mode and fail to deliver on the single player aspect , forget to expand on the rpg element and to make the world believable . if you be into multiplayer , you be in for a treat . if not , then you may want to wait until the price drop down to $ 9.99 or until more patch be release to fix the bug , or the mod community have have a chance to release some interesting work to play . some of the notable bug I be see : \* - random rainbow artifact with the graphic when roam around the tavern \* - random graphic glitching during combat \* - nerfing of the couch lance ; it be nearly impossible now to be a lancer \* - nerfing of archer ; it be near impossible to hit anyone with a bow or crossbow , even when aim for expose body part , especially when you be on horseback \* - a bug where if you repeatedly re-assign the marshall role to any other lord under you , you relationship with the other increase ridiculously dramatically \* - after a battle , the battle summary that come up be miss the name of the soldier that die or be wound all in all , this game be not ready for prime time . I think it should have be in beta much longer . fortunately , Taleworlds be great at release fix and patch for customer . if you do make the mistake of buy it early and find the problem too annoying , hang on to you copy until the problem be fix or until the modding community have complete a few mod . this be easily the best modding game out there . +668 Video_Games NEG 2 buy a wireless and love it for the few week it work until the joystick break . bought another one and guess what ? it not only break but in the same place ! this one last a few week as well . +283 Video_Games POS 4 I get this game a year ago , and it be the first creature game I have ever buy . I have be read review for it for a month , and buy it . when I install the game and start play it , it be great !! the Norns be very cute -lrb- even if the only facial expression they show be happyness -rrb- , the ettin steal almost every object on the ship and bring it back to it be home area -lrb- the ettin be my favorite creature to watch , I catch it steal some machinary and tell it to drop it , and it just look at the screen and make a big , cheezy grin at I -rrb- , and the grendle be horrifying ! the only bad thing about this game be the creator , it let you put new object you download on the internet in the game , but you need something call bioenergy ... and ... um ... the power up . -lrb- note : many creature user at the creature newsgroup dislike the power up in creature 2 . creature Labs do not know when to stop : - d -rrb- I be look foward to the Docking Station add-on creature Labs will be release for free ! -lrb- you do not need creature 3 to run it , but it dock with it if you have it . -rrb- if you want to buy this game , I recomend that you buy the Creatures trilogy in the game . it include c1 , c2 , and c3 all together ! get this game , or the other game , now ! +842 Video_Games NEU 3 bookworm be a straightfoward d game . all you have to do be select a letter on the screen and form a word by tap a letter adjacent to the last . you earn point base on the length of the word , bonus denote by the color of the letter 's tile , etc. . what set bookworm apart from other word finding game be that occasionally -lrb- or in one mode constantly -rrb- a letter 's tile will catch on fire . a tile on fire will burn through tile 's below it and if it burn through the bottom of the screen , it will `` set the library on fire '' and end you game . while this sound fun at first , it quickly wear out . play in the main mode , my first game take about half a hour and while it be a half hour of fun , I have have to force myself back to play the game since . the concept just tire too quickly . one feature that give the game a little life be the collection of 20 secret book . each secret book contain a dozen or so secret word with a common theme range from pet to emotion . once you form a word in a secret book , you 'll be able to see all the rest of the word in the book . form all the word in a book and you get extra point . the presentation of the game be charming overall . the control work well and the music be okay . however , nothing can make up for a flawed game design . the main mode ramp up the challenge way too slowly . the main mode need more structure and variety . it need clearly define and seperate level , rather than merely a summary of point score and a picture of a new room fill with book . there be little feeling of advancement or reward for play a lengthy and high-scoring game . it seem that the ` action ' game mode try to address the turtle 's pace erring of the main mode , but end up be even less fun . despite my loss of interest in Bookworm , I recognize that many will find the game appeal for a longer period of time . while the occasional casual game , like peggle , manage to get I temporarily hook , I be mostly immune to the feverous addiction to spider solitaire , freecell , etc. that seem to plague most casual game fanatic . I can see this be the type of casual word game that could easily hook the right type of person . +502 Video_Games POS 4 nice ! doom 1 and 2 in one cd . that be a very creative idea , you get over 50 level from ultimate doom and doom 2 . many of you maybe wonder if the level look the same as the pc . yes they do ! they look exactly the same as the pc . the only difference be the enemy for example you will see monster that be not in the pc ultimate doom in the PSX version monster such as the chaingunner soldier , mancubus , arancnoton , revenant , pain elemental and hell knight . in ultimate doom for pc those monster be not there , they be only in doom 2 for pc . but the psx version of ultimate doom you will see those monster when you put the game on Hurt I plenty or Ultra violence . the only complaint be that i think the archville be miss from both game , and i have not see the spider mastermind . i think you may find he in Threshold of pain -lrb- last level in ultimate doom -rrb- . another thing be the pc music for the level be take out , instead they put slow scary music for the level . this be a must buy for any doom fan i buy my copy recently ! +831 Video_Games POS 4 excellent product . actually save a battery I be have problem with before . my battery refuse to charge , but with this , it get it right back to charge -lrb- the charge cable could have be bad , not sure -rrb- . it be small , take little space , and charge battery within hour . Great little product for the price . +472 Video_Games POS 4 I find this game hard for a beginner who have not be to a aerobic or dance class , but it be fun and I be sore the next day after my first play so I do feel I get a good workout . I finally decide if I could not keep up , just keep move and then I be fine . +210 Video_Games NEU 3 at first I be a bit disappointed that this be not a real rpg like BG or bg2 . dark Alliance -lrb- DA -rrb- be more a action rpg like the Diablo game . DA have great graphic and music -lrb- far better than Diablo 2 -rrb- and be pretty addictive . it do not make a real impact though . a solid action rpg , but nothing really special . +14 Video_Games POS 5 people kewp ask `` Whats isn so special about this game ? they think its stupid . ask most of they `` have u play it for more than two hour ? and most will reply no. . Animal Crossing have bad graphic and sound . all n64 japanese port have that charicteristic . what make Animal Crossing special ? 1 . it have a enormous amount of stuff u can do 2 . it come with a slew of classic NES game 3 . it be real time 4 . ITS NOT the SIMS !! ITS NOT SUPPOSED to be REAL !! -lrb- Hech , all ur neighbor be ANIMALS ! 5 . it dosent easily get repetitive -lrb- Play for short incriment each day . this way , u wont `` burn out '' and you can play for year and see all the cool new stuff each day . 6 . it come w \/ a free memory card 7 . its only $ 20 buck ! +590 Video_Games POS 5 first off let I tell you that this be the best game ever to come out on any console . if anyone doubt I just read this review . the graphic in my book be amazing I would give they a 10\/10 the gameplay10\/10 and the overall score since the scale dose not reach 10 10\/10 . slick COLLIO and any one who doubt this game be so wrong because this game be so perfect that it should actualy recieve a 20\/10 . if any one would say the ending be dumb do not pay any attention to the cut screen in the game so you do not get the end . if you ask I the end be clever and to the point . whoever say that GTA San Andreas be better do not pay any attention to the tree in the backround of the big smoke mission . if you pay any attention you would see that the tree grow in less than1 second . now back to the topic Halo 2 . I get the special edition one . even though it cost $ 5 more it come with a bonus dvd that show the making of Halo 2 and it also show the early stage before Halo 1 be in first person view . I buy this game the day it come out because I reserve it at the mall near my house . if you ask I this should have make game of the year and those of you who be mad that it do not know that it just miss the deadline to be qualify for game of th year . for those GTA fan out there you should be glad that it miss the deadline because it would have kick its @ $ $ in the pole . to end my review for you die hard halo fan we will have we day when rockstar run out of idea on what to base the city on in later GTA game and they might accidently base it on New York again and we will laugh in there face when they do . +493 Video_Games NEG 1 daughter save she own money to purchase this . it work for 3 day . if it be available , I would give it 0 star . +438 Video_Games POS 5 dualshock 3 Wireless Controller - Red oh yeah and this be cheap compare to 54.00 plus tax +32 Video_Games NEG 1 ok we buy this after a article about a inexpensive solution for shooting `` tethered '' but wirelessly with the Nikon d4 , which have a ethernet port . the idea be that you could use this thing to basically convert the eth port to WiFi so that you could send photo directly to you computer or ipad or whatever . shoot , photo be send to computer , do . the Nikon solution cost like , $ 900 , so this seem like a good option . the problem be that this thing require external power to run , so now you be either need to be plug into a wall or you have to buy a batter pack of some sort , which increase the size and awkwardness of use you camera . the d4 be already a huge camera already . the other thing be that this do not even include a power cable , and without a battery pack , it be totally worthless to I . +584 Video_Games NEG 1 1 . Graphics Well , the water effect and some screen dynamics be pretty cool . however , they fail to mitigate the horrendous appearance of npc . literally , each male character 's facial feature look no better than the one from medal of honor : Allied Assault . the texture and geometry be pretty dull even when render in the highest setting . the most atrocious aspect of dnf 's graphic be far-sight blur : background and object far away from the player be render with severe blurriness like you be watch a 3d movie . I have no idea what Gearbox be think when they implement this feature , since it certainly exacerbate the overall look of the game . maybe they mean to blur out the weapon while duke be iron-sighting ? 2 . ridiculous AI No pun intend , I think the original game have better aus than this one . some lethargic enemy will hide behind box container during a freeway battle , and will not come out till you approach they . one time , I be downstairs directly below some piggy on a balcony , they keep throw grenade upstairs as if I be there . well , they be suppose to be retard , but still they should not be try to obliterate each other with they own grenade when they foe be actually downstairs . 3 . this game be just not Duke Nukem to the people say `` do not expect this game to be mw2 '' : then why can duke hold only 2 gun at a time and he have a self-recharging health bar ? I understand Gearbox be probably force to follow today 's fp trend in some degree , but this be just not Duke Nukem . you could hold multiple weapon and you health do not regenerate in Bioshock , but it turn out to be a fantastic game . I wish Gearbox have create a game with much of its own characteristic , instead of engender a collage of well-known successful game , such as mw2 , Halflife , Halo , quake , etc -lrb- seriously ? a railgun in Duke Nukem ? give I a break ! -rrb- dnf do not exhibit much originality . Gearbox attempt to copy-paste some of nostalgic feature from the original game , and then some of the distinct feature from each of the game I have mention . no card key , no jetpack , no mighty-foot engage the brawl ... many of the characteristic you expect this game to inherit from its predecessor be unfortunately absent . 4 . each battle become very repetitive there be only a few type of enemy . I will not bother enumerate they all , but there be about 10 minion type if I remember correctly . they be either from the original game or from Halflife series : some bug from hl2ep2 , the big monster wield with hive-hand gun . in the original game , the player have plenty of chance to exult in confront some of the most creative enemy . not in this game . even the boss battle become tepid after the first 30 seconds . 5 . the Atmosphere of the game except for a few level , you 'll spend nearly the entire game in dark and gloomy hallway , mostly do closed-space combat . it resemble quake 4 rather than the original Duke Nukem game . just like mw2 , each map be extremely linear . there be not many explorable area divert from a main route of each level . at least mw2 have some memorable moment or transition in mission objective while you be follow the main route . in dnf , there be some cut-scene in between . that be all . 6 . conclusion although the game evince some of Gearbox 's painstaking effort to create detailed and interactive component -lrb- such as pinball machine , the strip club , airhocky , etc -rrb- , this game be conclusively a epic failure . not much originality , the game become repetitive after the first few level , you probably will not even know what to say when you see its meaningless 30-second ending . I strongly suggest you wait till the price of this game drop down to $ 19.99 . consider the quality of the game , it should not take very long for dnf to become that cheap .
